MHA: The Fresh Blood [Rewrite]

Chapter 9: Christmas Special Y'all!



This chapter doesn't really have to do with the plot of my story to any degree, however, this chapter will give a bit of a preview for my future stories. 

Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with the chapter! I wish you all a happy holidays!

Fae, signing off!

____________

"Come on! Come on! You can do it, baby!" The voice of our protagonist said enthusiastically in a tall building that could be considered a tower. Specifically, her voice came from a very expensive looking kitchen inside said building. Inside we could see that Eve had her, now longer, hair down, a halo was present above her head, and she was sporting a red suit with a black bow tie.

"Damn, you're really excited today, Eve. Usually you'd be diving head first into that 'goddess work' of yours without a care for anything else." A deep, somewhat alluring, voice said from across the kitchen.

"Well, of course I'm excited, Dabi! It's the first Christmas I get to spend with my lovely daughter, and I have the day off from my usual work!" Our, now teenage, blonde system user said with a smile, before looking back at the person she was encouraging earlier.

"Did I do it right, Papa?" Asked a girl with white hair, innocent ruby red eyes, and a small horn on her forehead, while holding up a squeeze bottle filled with red icing.

Looking at what the small girl was asking about, Eve saw a cookie that looked like a Santa hat, the cookie itself had icing perfectly placed on it.

"Yes, Eri, you did it perfectly!" Eve said as she patted the head of her adopted daughter affectionately. The younger girl gave a close eyed smile as she felt the somewhat rough and soft touch of her 'father'.

'Ah!~ Eri is so cute! I know this was supposed to be a simple baking lesson, but I am loving this! I never want it to end!' The gluttonous blonde thought while looking at her daughter's happy smile.

Ever since she had saved Eri from the Shie Hassaikai, Eve had been wanting to have a bonding session like this, since she did already consider Eri her daughter after those events. Sadly, though, there was always a quest from the system, or some other business that needed her attention first, which kept her from spending more than a few hours with her daughter each day. So, having a full day to spend with her daughter, and the rest of her family, was definitely a breath of fresh air for her.

Though, it wasn't meant to last.

"Now, let's let the icing dry, so we can eat them all later, okay Er... i- Oh come on!" Eve yelled out in anger as her surroundings seemed to stop completely, almost as if time was stopped in its entirety.

"What the fuck is it now?! Another kill quest!? Do one of my other worlds need attention!?! What?!?!" She said angrily as she walked away from the table that she had sat at prior with her daughter.

Nope~ Nothing like that! Little Eevee!

Said a voice that Eve didn't recognize, it didn't sound like any god she interacted with, nor did it sound like the system. This put her on edge, she had no knowledge of this unknown person, so she didn't know what they could do, nor did she even know if they were her enemy.

"State your purpose for stopping my bonding time with my daughter! Also, who the hell are you?!" She had already activated her semblance, ready to fight and protect the two members of her family that were nearby if needed.

Hehehe!~ Relax, Eevee~ I only want to show you some stuff, and after that you'll get to go back to your cute little bonding session~ As for my identity... you can just call me, Fae, for now!

Eve's expression turned blank as she heard the voice's words, because she couldn't believe that someone paused her precious moment with her daughter for, what sounded like, such a pointless reason.

"Why do you keep calling me, Eevee? I'm not a damn Pokémon." She didn't know why this voice kept calling her that, especially since no one has ever called her that. Instead, people mainly just called her by one of her many names, or variations of said names.

Because I can~ Now! Are you ready to see what I got to show you?

Eve didn't know what to say at the nonchalant answer the voice gave, so she just let out a reluctant sigh, and answered its question. "Fuck it, fine. I'll see what you want to show me, 'Fae'..."

Wonderful! Let's head off to my personal theater then!

As soon as the voice said that, Eve's surroundings started to warp and shift around her, which was completely different from how the system would teleport her. So, this caused her to become somewhat dizzy at the sight.

This went on for a bit, causing Eve to lose her balance and fall backwards, only to land onto a comfy red chair. Now she sat smack in the middle of a large auditorium in what she could only guess was the theater that Fae mentioned.

Whoops! That transition was shitty, I will completely accept that that was my fault entirely!

"Just... get on with this show, or whatever the hell it is... I want to leave already..." Eve said as she rubbed her eyes with a tired expression, already down with this situation.

Gotcha! Though, you'll need a bit of an explanation before I start!

As Fae said that the lights in the room dimmed, the giant screen in front of our protagonist turned on to show the silhouette of two men.

I am someone who knows the future of your family, not just those you've chosen, but also your siblings that you will eventually help. And, on this Christmas day, I have decided to give you (and the readers) the gift of learning a bit about two of your five siblings!

The first silhouette changed, now in its place it showed a tall man with long black hair, red eyes, slightly tanned skin, and a weird looking sleeveless shirt. 

This man gave Eve the feeling that he had a good life so far, and was willing to do anything to keep his life that way. Though, she had to admit, that he looked somewhat familiar to her, like she had seen him somewhere in the past.

The first of the two I'll show you is, Nicholas Levi Tennyson, mostly known as Nico, a reincarnated person like you who was placed in the body of Kevin E. Levin! Though, due to your future actions he will become more than just an Osmosian like the original, he will become an Emperor, a time traveler, and the ultimate life form in his universe!

Eve's eyes slightly widened as she heard Fae, because the name Kevin Levin made her remember a certain series that she dropped after the first show in the series, Ben 10. She was going to be related to someone that'll be in that universe, if she were to believe what Fae is saying, damn.

"Hopefully he isn't the type that thinks killing is wrong, cause if he is, he is going to have one long ass road to get to his goal." At one point she did research Kevin Levin, and Osmosian's, when she got bored one weekend. So, she knew that their means of getting stronger would involve a lot of death and potential for going insane.

You will be happy to know that he quickly grows out of that state of mind. Now, would you like to see how he deals with an tentacle faced warlord?

"I'm gonna assume you mean that Vilgax guy, so sure. Since that dude seemed to be a villain across all of Ben 10, I'm curious to see if he'll kill him or not." Eve said as she got comfortable in her seat, hoping this would be a good show.

Good! Now, it's time to see a bit of his interaction with a conqueror that was thought to be the most dangerous before he came around!

When Fae said that the screen shifted to show a land of red sand and rocks where no life could be seen for miles, except for the two in center of the screen, and the strange bug looking machines that floated above them. There stood two figures, one was Eve's apparent brother, and the other was a light green alien with tentacles on its face, and so much tech on its body that Eve thought it could count as the alien version of Robocop.

"What is the meaning of this, Tennyson! You told me, and the entire universe, that this was going to be an honorable battle!" The tentacle faced alien yelled in frustration towards Nico, most likely about the machines that were above them.

"And it is, Vilgax. Those little creations of mine are merely here to broadcast our fight to the universe. This way no one can get caught in the middle of our battle, and the entire universe can see who the victor is without any chances of either party twisting the narrative!" The black haired man said calmly and without any change in his body language, giving no room for Vilgax to claim otherwise.

Vilgax let out a frustrated sigh at Nico's words, not seeing any way for him to go against it, but believing that this will not change the outcome of this battle. "Fine then, keep your pathetic machines. They will change nothing."

Both of them got into stances as they readied to begin the battle. Vilgax's stance gave off the feeling of an uncaring beast that would destroy everything it could get its hands on, and Nico's gave the feeling that he was a powerful king, ready to fight for his kingdom and win effortlessly.

"I hope you won't think it wrong of me to use my other forms, after all, we are meant to go at this with our all." Nico said with a confident smile slowly making itself known on his face.

"I do not care. You could turn into every species in the universe, and the result would still remain the same." Vilgax said arrogantly, fully believing that his win is already secured.

"Hahaha! I suppose you're right, no matter what I turn into, you'll still lose today!" Nico laughed before his body began to morph, and his strange shirt started to move and cover his lower body, and grow(?) a belt and some sort of device that went across his chest.

A split second later, after his skin turned green, and his hair was replaced with spikes, he looked like a frog human hybrid with glasses on his face that looked a lot like the ones from Gurren Lagann. Where the glasses came from? Eve has no damn clue, one moment, no glasses, the next, glasses.

"Ha! An Incursean! Of all the species in the universe, you chose to become an Incursean, pathetic!" Vilgax yelled out with a hearty laugh, thinking that whatever this form is was possibly the worst choice to make for combat.

"You see, you would usually be correct, since the majority of Incurseans now are far weaker than their ancestors..." Nico said as he crouched down to the ground, seemingly getting in a better stance to fight, his voice now seeming to be much deeper than before.

"But... I am the prime example of an Incurseans potential, and I know exactly how to use this body to its fullest!" Nico said before a pillar of suddenly sprouted under him, and shot him towards Vilgax with alarming speed.

Though, right as he twisted his body to perform an axe kick on the warlord before him, the video stopped completely, and the screen returned to that image of silhouettes, with Nico's image next to the other silhouette.

"Hey! What the hell!? It was just getting good!" Eve yelled out, frustrated that she didn't get to see the actual fight, but only the bits before it.

Sorry not sorry! But, if I made that any longer, we wouldn't have any time for your other brother (and I'd have to make this chapter way too damn long)

"Dammit! I really wanted to see that fight..." She leaned back into her chair, disappointed at what Fae said.

It wasn't often that she got excited for a fight nowadays, mostly because she grew to only see it as a way to study potential enemies and their fighting styles. So, she was really looking forward to seeing her future brother fight, since if he cared about family as much as her, they would probably only fight over meaningless things, like most other siblings.

Anyways! What did you think about Nico?

"Huh? What did I think about him?" Eve said curiously as she sat up in her seat a bit.

"Well, he came off as someone that took every measure to make sure he would win that fight. He probably made those bug bots for more than just broadcasting a single match, maybe as something to gather info on enemies from a distance, or something like a safeguard in case he lost? I don't know." She said as she rubbed her chin, focusing on what little she saw from that video.

"But, that's not all. He said that he knew exactly how to use that body to its fullest. Which means that he didn't expect to win easily, instead he actively trained himself, and studied as much as possible, to learn how to use that form better than the actual species. He probably did the same thing for the rest of his forms, so, all in all, I can say without a doubt that he has my respect, even if I don't know much about him yet."

Damn! I did not expect you to answer like that!

"Eh? How did you expect me to answer?" Eve said while looking up to where she thought the source of Fae's voice was coming from.

Honestly, I thought you'd say something like, 'his dumbass looks too confident', or 'I don't care, I just wanna go home.'

"Wah-? Don't make me sound like I'm some self-centered puta that can't look at things logically!" She yelled out defiantly, her face turning slightly red out of frustration.

Alright, sorry about that. Anyways, want to see your other brother?

Eve leaned back into her chair, and put her legs up on the back of the chair in front of her, showing that her boots had a cat paw pad design on the bottom of them. She then let out a sigh in an attempt to calm down, before saying. "Fine, go ahead and show him to me."

You got it!

The other silhouette then changed to show a serious looking blonde man with somewhat wild hair, that a bit was put in a ponytail, red eyes like Nico's, skin as pale as Eve's, and a red suit and tie with a music note on the collar. Honestly, he kinda looked a combination between Eve and Nico's, though there was something on his face that looked off when she looked closer.

"Hey, what are those markings under his eyes?" To Eve they looked like small black curves under his eyes that reminded her of tattoos, but it felt wrong somehow.

Those two markings are actually one full curse mark. Specifically, its a curse mark that was meant to surpress the natural regenerative ability that naturally made members of the Phenex Clan practically immortal. Though, only the Phenex Clan know how to place it on someone, and how to take it off.

"Excuse me?..." Eve's eyes turned red from their original gold color, and the white of her eyes turned black almost subconsciously. She was down right furious at the implications of what Fae said.

You are excused~ Anyways! Say hello to, Revel Kieran, the bastard son of the head of the Phenex Clan! Orignally, he was meant to be killed off at the age of seven, but your future actions save his life, and he grows up to take revenge for everything that was down to him by said clan!

Eve's angry expression quickly turned into a calm smile, though, it felt like she was far angrier than she had ever been in a long time. She could already tell what world her other brother is from, and she may just become a proper 'angel' and slaughter some devils herself.

"Please tell me that I do everything I can to help him slaughter all those bastards." She said, less like a request and more like a demand that she expected to be fulfilled then and there.

Oh yeah! You even crafted a special axe for him, so he could take everything he needs to become the strongest!

"That's good. Now, do show me my brother destroying a member of this worthless clan that I feel the urge to eradicate." Although her tone was joyful while she told Fae to do this, her words were far from it.

Oh? Okay then! I was going to show him interacting with some youkai, but sure, I'll show one of his fights with the Phenex Clan!

Once that was all said and done, the screen changed to show a desert and two 'groups' of people. On the right of the skin Eve saw sixteen people that all looked scared for some reason, one blonde man, and fifteen various women, on the left she saw Revel standing alone with a red guitar axe with speakers on it in the shape of a paw print.

(Thunder Bringer by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, with a few changes)

"Let's get this started..." Revel said before stomping his foot on the ground, causing a massive ring of fire to form around him and the other people.

The crackling of the flames must have been the starting bell for him, because the speakers on his axe started to blast the beat to a that sounded familiar to Eve. While the beat went on wings of pure fire sprouted from Revel's back, and he flew up into the air.

"P-please! Don't do this! We can go back to being brothers, Revel! I'll give you whatever you want! Just please don't do this!" The blonde man, that Eve believed to be Riser, begged as he fell down to his knees.

But, Revel continued, and as soon as he was high enough, he looked down at Riser with a pure look of disgust and sang.

"Pride is a damsel in distress... Hiding away where only I can undress her..." The flames around them started to spawn out monsters made of fire, some flew high with Revel, while the others stayed on the ground and closed in on the others.

"Try all she can not to confess... In the end, it's all the same once I apply all the pressure..." And just as those words were uttered all of the fire monsters rushed towards the group with the intent to kill.

"Fire, bring her through the wringer! Show her I'm the judgment call! The one who makes her kingdom fall!" He yelled it out like a commander would to his troops. The fire monsters that were in the air tackled those in the group that tried to use their wings to fly away from the ones on the ground.

"Inferno, wield her, use and yield her! Show her what she can't conceal! For true nature will be revealed!" The group tried to use whatever magic or weapons they could to push back or kill the monsters. But each time they destroyed one, the flames would just come back and make two more for each one they defeat, making it useless.

"Tell me, Riser Phenex, if I were to make you choose.... The lives of your girls and peerage or your own... Why do I think they'd lose?..." Revel sang with mock interest as the monsters he made clawed, bit, and stabbed the man he was directing his words to. Though each time it only caused pain, but no result, as he kept healing over and over from each attack.

"Enlighten me, Heir to the Phenex Clan... Since your desires were far too great... I wonder who'd take the weight of the damned... and suffer a gruesome fate to the..." Right as he said that the flames that surrounded them, and made the monsters, grew more intense and became two times bigger, the sound of a faint 'Boost' being barely heard somewhere.

"Fire bringer, here to ring your! Ears until you're deaf with fear! And spear you while your death is near!" The monsters attacks became more fierce, causing some in the group to almost die if they didn't drink the contents of a small vial they had on hand.

"Inferno wielder, here to yield your! Time, for you have passed your prime! Sublime you for your act of crime!" Just as one of the monsters were about to decapitate one of the girls, all of them suddenly stopped attacking and instead pinned all of those in the group to the ground.

"Choose." As Revel said that it felt like the crackling of the flames, and the beat from his axe, faded to nothing, instead replaced with a piercing silence that even a pin dropping could be heard in.

"C-choose?" Riser asked as his skin was being repeatedly burned under the grasp of the monsters, unlike the girls that were behind him, for some reason.

"Someone's gotta die today. And you have got the final say." Revel said as he slowly descended to the ground below.

"You? Or your peerage?" The axe wielding Devil said with a sickening smirk on his face, awaiting the answer of the man before him.

"Please don't make me do this?! D-don't make me do this!!" Riser begged as tears started to fall from his eyes, only for them to instantly turn to steam because of all the fire.

"When does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster?" Revel said as he took slow steps towards Riser, each of his questions seeming to have a meaning that only they knew.

"When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster?!" Now Revel was directly in front Riser, the monsters moved the man to now be sitting up on his knees.

Silence filled the air as Revel's axe suddenly became ignited in white flames that felt like they were more holy than any god Eve had met. Riser needed to answer now, or else Revel will lose his patience and make the choice for him.

"Riser?..." A curvy woman with purple hair, that Eve recognized as Yubelluna, said seeming to already know what her King would say.

"I-I don't want to die..." Riser choked out, tears flowing like waterfalls down his face as he looked at the white flame on Revel's axe.

"So, we'll die...." Yubelluna said while lowering her head to the ground, silent tears falling to the sand beneath her.

"Yes..." Riser said, sealing his answer, a look of reluctant acceptance appearing on his face.

"Fire, bring her through the wringer! Show her I'm the judgment call! The one who makes her kingdom fall!" Just like that the monsters holding them all let go, instead now joining to create a ball of fire around the girls, the screams of the girls piercing through the flames.

"Inferno, wield her, use and yield her! Show her what she can't conceal! For true nature will be revealed!!" As he yelled that the screams suddenly stopped altogether, and Riser looked down at the ground, believing the worst.

"So pathetic. And to think I once feared you." Revel said calmly, his anger seeming to have faded altogether. He then waved his hand and made all the flames disappear, except for the ball of fire behind the man that was once his older brother.

"Now, how about we see the results of your choice." He grabbed Riser's face and forced him to look at the ball of fire, the man tried to resist, to look away from his own decision, but he couldn't.

He especially couldn't look away as he saw the spherical inferno disappear, where he saw not the ashes of his peerage, but instead saw them all sitting there fully healed of all injuries. This was shocking beyond words, but what was more shocking was the fact that their Evil Pieces seamlessly flew out of each of their chest and went straight to Revel's open hand.

"I- what- but I thought you- how did you-?" Riser couldn't form a coherant sentence as he saw that disgusted look on Revel's face again.

"You honestly thought I'd kill them? My grievances are not with your peerage, and they certainly are not with Ravel, they are with you and the rest of your worthless clan. My resentment is only for those who branded my face and made my life living hell before my true family took me in!" Revel declared with venom lacing his words as he crushed the pieces with ease right before Riser's eyes.

"Now you have lost your peerage, your unwilling fiance, all your wealth, and your influence. But I still want more. I want you and those bastards to suffer more! I may have the means to kill you, but I will make sure that you will never die, you will only know pain!" Revel yelled with a crazy look in his eyes as he grabbed Riser by the throat and lifted him into the air.

But before anymore could be seen, the screen went black, looks like that was the end of what Fae was willing to show her.

"Holy shit...." Eve said as she fell back into her chair from her earlier position of the edge of it when the fire monsters grew in size.

So~ What do you think?~

"I'm at a lost for words.... He's just like me...." She said as she stared at the black screen, the memories of what she saw already replaying in her mind.

Oh?~ Do explain! I'm curious to hear what you mean by that~

"Hehe, he's a sadistic bastard that'll actively go out of his way to make someone he hates feel more pain than they dealt him.... No wonder we're gonna be siblings...." Eve chuckled out as she continued to stare at the screen, already looking forward to meeting Revel.

Well, I'm happy to see you like your future brother's! Now, since that's all I gotta show you... buh-bye!

As soon as Fae said that Eve began to disappear from the theater, not saying a word as she was still just looking at that screen with a smile on her face.

Now that that's done! I hope you all liked that little preview into Eve's brothers! I wish all of ya happy holiday's! Fae signing off!
