Distance Means So Little, When Someone Means So Much

This chapter is different from what I have done before

It is of someone else's POV so let me know what you think of it :)

Hopefully, it all makes sense by now as well

~~~The Kid's POV~~~ A.K.A. Super Important Tartarus Convict/Escapee, That Liked To Mock Masayoshis Hentai Choice, In Which Is Needed To Question For Super Important Duties Of Hero Work Stuff ~~~

My name is Hachiman Yahata. I am 18 years old and I grew up in the Kanto region

I grew up in a poor family who were descendants of some popular archers who made a big name for themselves in history. Quirks came in and their popularity died down fast. Very fast

My mother always told me I was a talent when it came to archery. I possessed a never before seen quirk which she said was mostly because of my father. His quirk mixed with my mother's archery one and it created what I am

My mother was the only person who meant anything to me in my life. My Dad disappeared and my mother had a birth accident. She was only 17 when she gave birth to me, her body was already weak and hurt before but after I was born she just became more ill

It eventually became so bad she became bedridden in the hospital. I was young during that time, 12 years old, and that was something that I now realise my 'Boss' had taken advantage of

I didn't like hurting people or being hurt. I especially disliked being hurt. I dislike violence in general really. However, it was something I had to become accustomed to if I wanted to live in my position I had gotten stuck in

When I was struggling for money, a man by the name of Sataro Fukiage confronted me and told me I had to work for him to pay off 'debt' my mother gathered

The jobs he made me do were simple but made me a lot of money. I was nearing this 'Debt' that I had but had gotten stuck in his little game and he deliberately had me jumped and 'lost' all of his 'product'

I had hopes that doing this would give me enough money to get my mother out of the hospital. That wish-less thinking got me in huge trouble when Sataro Fukiages hide-out was raided and I was caught

I do t know why but they chucked me into Tartarus. It had something to do with a potentially dangerous quirk in the hands of someone part of a wider know violent gang

It was awful. I was treated like I was lower than an insect and the villains in there were worse than most I had ever seen. But they didn't scare me more than Sataro

Well…that was until I caught a glimpse of 'him'…All For One

The big baddy of everything happening recently. He had riled up all of the prisoners, sending them into a frenzy of looting and pillaging across Japan. Of course, being from Tartarus and hearing loads of rumours, I had gathered a lot of information about what this big baddy was doing

I had also gotten stuck in this frenzy without even noticing it and one day, I was sent on a recon mission. It was a simple in and out the job of scouting out a city for this big raid that was about to happen on a place where a lot of important people were…

UA High School

I didn't want anyone there to get hurt. Not at all. So I sent incorrect information to the group I was with. I was hoping that they would move on and forget about me who was still in the city

If that happened I could run away and find my mother. I could see how she was and tell her that I'm okay. My hopes were crushed when our leader said he would continue inwards anyway

All of my hope was lost until I ran into two strange individuals…one of which was one of the most popular men in the country right now

Giyu Tomioka. Traitor to all heroes and the ultimate scum of a person who you should trust. He was known to backstab you…Silent Death was the reason behind this

The persona he had created during those months made a huge impact. He was doing lots of missions for the League of Villains that his 'infamous' nature even spread into Tartarus

But when I met him…I knew instantly everything that was said about him was false. He didn't seem to care about much but he was evil. That's a fact I would bet my life on it it came to it

The other one was someone who I had never even heard of before. But he sure was a character. Very creepy was one of his characteristics. He was also extremely self-absorbed and arrogant. But he was funny when I made fun of him

Going back to where I am now…I was on the floor in front of Sataro Fukiage. He was just as scary as before. He was in front of a long charge of men that stopped as he stopped

I was going to run away. Call for help. Even if Tempest and the stranger were strong they couldn't be THAT strong…right?

"Kekekeke. Would you look at who has shown up," Sataro croaked out licking his lips as he pressed a small blade to my neck

"Look at this men! It's the little rat who sent the wrong information! He tried to stop our charge! What do we think of this snake?!" He shouted to the people behind him

"SHIT!!!" All of them shouted collectively

"What do we think of shit?!" Sataro shouted to them

"THIS LITTLE RAT!!!" They all shouted at me

"M-m-m-m-MEEP!" I shouted rushing backwards swiftly

"Hahaha! I never thought I would see you again!" Sataro said to me

"A-Ah! M-Me too! I-It's great t-to see you!" I shouted reflexively

"That's good to hear!" He said

*BUZZ* *BUZZ* "Hm?" Sataro looked down to his pocket, pulling out a small phone, "What is it?"

I waited a moment watching him as he said to the phone, "Giyu Tomioka? HAHAHAHAHA! Don't be so cocky that you defeated that weakling! You're a no-good traitor 'Tempest'"

"The kid?" He questioned into the phone, "He is right here with me in tip-top shape I'll have you know," He continued to speak to the phone

"Ha! Don't worry. I and the boys will take good care of him for ya! How would you like him? In little pieces or split down the middle?" He said cockily, waiting a moment before chucking his phone to the side

"GIYU TOMIOKA! TEMPEST! SILENT DEATH! HE IS HERE! AND HE DEFEATED THAT WEAKLING SUPASUPA SUPARI! SO IT IS OUR JOB TO FINISH THIS OFF AND CONTINUE TOWARDS THAT SCHOOL!" Santo shouted out loud as his men cheered behind him

"H-He defeated Supasupa? No way," I said to myself out-loud

Sabito was suddenly surrounded by 100 knives, all of them flowing around him randomly as he said, "Listen kid. Give up. We're going to attack and destroy UA. Whether you like it or not!" He shouted, sending a few blades my way

They cut me across my arms, legs, neck, torso and face. It hurt badly but I stayed on my feet struggling

"No!" I shouted terrified, "No! You can't hurt those people!" I screamed at him

I was terrified! I wish my mouth would just shut up! Why am I even resisting him?! Just do what I did before and bow down to him! Shit shit shit!

"It truly is a shame to kill my only son,", he said, preparing another attack, "Just give up already…YOU DAMN BRAT!" He shouted, more blades rushing towards my vital areas

"Huh? Your what?" I said as I stared at the knives in horror as they left him pointed towards me

Mother! What should I do?! I'm scared!

~~~

"Mum!" I shouted at my mum to gather her attention, "Mummy! Mummy!" I shouted more loudly next to her while she lay in her bed in its home

*COUGH* *COUGH* "What is it, honey?" My mother strained to ask me

"T-There is a monster under the bed!" I said scared

She smiled at me sweetly and her hand eventually made its way to my head, ruffling my hair, "Don't worry sweety. You will be okay. Do you want to sleep next to mummy?"

I looked down and nodded my head

She chuckled and patted the space in the bed next to her, "Come on Hachiman. Come lie down and sleep," she said to me

I complied and climbed to the top of the bed. I crawled over on all four, digging myself into the bed my mum turned over and pulled me into a hug

"I-It's scary mummy," I said to her

"What's is sweetie?" She asked with a cough

"Y-You…you're hurt bad!" I said with a stifled cry

"Oh, sweetie, I'm going to be fine," she assured me, "Mummy is strong, just like you!" She said with a laugh, hugging me tighter

"Mmm!" I muffled a small hum in her embrace

"You will grow up to be a big strong boy and put that quirk to good use won't you?" She said to me after a few seconds

"I will!" I told her

"Good," she replied softly

"Mummy…it's just…I'm scared to fail. I don't want you to leave because I'll be alone. I'm scared to be alone. I don't want to be lonely. I…I just get too scared mummy. How could I become a hero if I'm too scared to help people?" I said to her, hugging her tighter

*COUGH* "Oh Hachiman. Being scared is normal and natural if something feels threatening. I'd be more concerned if you weren't," she said with a small laugh

"Yeah…okay," I said to her as my head dig into he hug more

"Being scared is a tough, tough emotion. Surviving it will make you stronger like All Might!" She said to me cheerily, "I wish it could be easier, but it's not. Love yourself. Remember that you are loved," she told me

"Night night, Hachiman…Don't let the bed bugs bite," I heard her tease before I drifted off to sleep

~~~

I know I'm scared when those old fears run through my head when I hear the taunting laughter of years past when I was a skinny kid and the punchline of teenage jokes

know I'm scared when these bad memories cut loose their chains and invade my confidence, eroding the person I have built since those dark days

I built up a wall of protection from the little persona that I gained from being involved in Sataro's group. I could feel it slowly falling like water hitting a sandcastle more and more as the shore swept in

I grit my teeth as I shout at him, "No! You are no father of mine! You would never understand what my mother has gone through! You are a bastard!"

His face seemed like it dropped slightly at my words in pain

"No matter what…I will live up to my mother's expectations of me…and I shall use my quirk to its fullest! And protect those who need me!" I shouted in resolution

"Quartz-Quartz!" I screamed as a beautiful bow appeared in my hands, wings sprouting from my back

"Full Mark Final Mode: Rain Of The Heavens!" I shouted out loud, pushing my quirk to its maximum, as I floated in the air with my wings, exactly one hundred arrows being barraged into the group of enemies
