《KATANA ~ a MHA fanfic》Chapter 17 - Two mysteries
Advertisement
In a moment, the vision ended but Katana still held onto her head. The pounding was the worst she'd ever felt. They only seemed to get worse by every time it happened and neither she nor Anna understood why or how. She reached for the glass of water in front of her and drank. As she was drinking the water, she hadn't noticed Anna rolling in their detective board back to the living room. She flipped the board to the empty side and started to write things down on notes.
"What are you doing?" Katana asked in a weak voice.
"I am writing down everything you've seen in your visions so far. You're forgetting that we don't just have one mystery to solve in this city, there's one going on in your head as well." her sister answered as she continued to write things down and pin them to the board.
"And we have to solve it."
Katana put her glass down from her shaking hand and took a deep breath. One hand was still on her head as she closed her eyes and began telling Anna what she saw in todays vision.
"...And I'm certain that those eyes were his."
"But it makes no sense? Why would he be there?" Anna asked as she was putting up the new notes on the board.
"Wait, give me a second..." the white haired girl said and took out her phone. Anna continued to add the information to the board until her sister spoke up again.
"Here! They were all wearing this, which means I saw some kind of school event I'm guessing." Katana handed her phone over to the black haired assassin who started to do some research of her own.
"What are you doing?" Katana asked and tried to sneak a peak at the phone.

"I've heard about this. It's that dumb hero school, they have a quirk tournament of some sort every year." she handed Katanas phone back and pointed at the clothes they were wearing and the place they were at.
"Yes! That's definitely the arena I saw."
"Interesting. Why would you see that in your vision?"
The girls went quiet and started to think of what it could be. After a few minutes, Anna wrote something down on another note but quickly crumpled it up and threw it at the trash can.
"What was that?" Katana asked and went ahead to pick the note up.
"Kat?" before the blue eyed girl could pick the paper up, her sister pulled on her arm and gestured for her to sit down. Katana was quiet about it and listened to what Anna had to say.
"Do you remember how about 4 years ago now, dad and I took you in... and how you told us you couldn't remember anything about yourself?"
Katana nodded and waited for the black haired assassin to proceed.
"What if... and hear me out... these visions are actually memories?"
"I think I would know if it was memories, Anna." Katana answered with an emotionless look on her face. She stood up and walked towards a window.
"I'm going out for air."
Anna sighed and leaned back on the couch. It was just a thought, but it scared the both of them that it could be true. Everything they knew would be thrown out the window if she was getting her memories back. Both were just hoping that the other wouldn't forget that they're family, no matter what.

Katana found herself sitting on the same rooftop she was on the other day. The sun was setting, giving the sky a beautiful orange colour once again. The walk over there was a lot for her. What Anna said terrified her, cause what would she do if she found out about who she really was?

As her thoughts were all over the place, she finally sat down, leaned back and breathed.
Like last time, she didn't wear any of her normal clothes and gear. Just a plain sweatshirt and shorts. She took out her ponytail and massaged her head a bit, letting her hair blow in the cold breeze as she enjoyed the view.
"Going back to the corner, where I first saw you. I'm gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move."
Katana started singing. She didn't know why but this song suddenly came to her mind. Maybe because it had to do with someone lost in their own feelings, which she could relate to in this moment. She inhaled and exhaled and continued to sing louder.
"Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand saying: if you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"
What she didn't know was that just on the building below her, was Bakugo sitting, enjoying the sunset as well. He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard someone singing the song Zella used to sing when they were up here. He didn't even bother to follow the sound, to him it felt like someone was messing with his head once again. Her angelic voice was too much for him to take, even a tear escaped his face.
So instead, he just stood up and yelled "Shut up!" and then sat back down, wiping his tear away.
Katana was offended. If she wanted to sing she was going to sing.
"I know it makes no sense but what else can I do, how can I move on when I'm still in love with you?"
Bakugo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. More and more tears were escaping his eyes as he closed them and tried to think of anything but that singing.
"Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me..." Katana was singing even louder now, standing up and stretching her arms out dramatically. She couldn't explain what she was feeling, so she let it all out in the form of this song.
Bakugo opened up his eyes, even more tears streaming down his face.
"This song. This stupid, damn song. Who the fuck is playing mind games with me and is singing it?" he sat there thinking, angry at the thought.
He looked up and he could've sworn he saw white hair blowing in the wind. But when he blinked twice, it was gone. The ash blonde punched the ground and looked up to his bloody knuckles.
"It was those two brats. Everything went down hill when they arrived. We better work smart now so these cases can be over with."

To Play With Magic
My name is Alexis Everette. I'm the only daughter of Earth's greatest hero. My dad is a normal man, but he's still my greatest hero. While he may be normal, I can bend the elements to my whim and have power over space and time. Of course, that's who I am at the end of the story. There's a lot I have to go through to get there. And even with all the power I gain... The world ends on a Tuesday. ... This is currently a completed story arc, though it's not the end. New updates are starting March 28, 2022. Actively updating. Mostly on Mondays/Thursdays. WARNING: FLAWED MC and not great early writing. Edits are on the list. ... *LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal. Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

Before They Came (Magical Apocalypse)
Our way of life it ended faster than we ever thought possible. It didn't happen with a nuclear war, an asteroid, or a damn ice age. It ended because of another war, far away from us. The Ripples from that war changed the fabric of everything. If only we had known that it was just the beginning. Btw, the beginning chapters are short, but get longer as the story goes on. Thank you for your time and your patience. CLARIFIER: The MC struggles with himself. He has human flaws including IGNORANCE. The MC starts the story out drunk, which has a major impact on the story in the beginning and way beyond. The story takes time to unfold, please be patient. This story does not shy away from the darker elements of life.
