We open to the Three ships as they soared to the Hero Universe.
"The Sports Festival… i can't wait!" Rainbow said.
"I can't either. You know how much of an honor it is to even compete in it?" Hope said. "Not to mention you're being watched by hundreds of patrons, and top execs and pros of…"
"Ahem!" a voice said as the two hero Yo-kai from the last story stood there. "Are you two normally this rude to guests?" Saki-Chan asked.
"Yes. We told you three you would compete in the sports festival and then those two started talking like we weren't here." Skysyariman said.
"Sorry about that, you two. But it's just that she's been hyped about this for months." Hope said. "I meant no disrespect."
"Well, at least you can be forgiving." Saki-Chan said.
"So...how do you…" Jexi began.
"We've been secretly spying and assessing you over the past few months. Judging your heroness." Skysyariman said.
"Yes. You see, every year, we super hero Yo-kai of the Sushi Squad and Tempest Pride compete as quests in the sports festival. But over the last couple of years, it's started to become boring." Saki-chan said.
"Because it's always our two teams. So this year, we decided to look for two new teams to replace us. But we got lucky when we discovered three teams of super do gooders." Skysyariman said.
"Jude and I get that do-gooder thing a lot." David said.
"And we saw your heroic defeat of Yomi and Zeromus. Those were the final nails to let you, David Ishihara of the Brave Adventurers...able to compete with your teams." Saki-chan said.
"Hanzo…" Mayumi realized.
"Yes. He was my spy." Skysyariman said. "As for you all...we will explain the rules towards you."
"You are allowed to use your abilities and weapons as long as killing does not kill. You will each assemble a team of eight. But the leaders of each team, Jexi, Hope and David, have to compete no matter what." Saki-chan said.
"Sounds reasonable.' David said.
"You do know how the UA Sports Festival works, right David?"
"Yes. It was one of the things I heard about from my dad. He may have gone to that world before." David said. "The Festival starts with the preliminary stages, and those who qualify get to compete in the main event."
"Wow. Not bad for your first real visit there." Saki-chan said. "Yes. It works like a regular sports festival except for some minor changes. But no worries."
"Now, the festival is still two weeks away, allowing you time to prepare. But we prefer if you go to the world ahead of that time so not to lose track of time." Skysyariman said.
"Yeah. Sounds good." Jexi said. "We're heading there anyway."
"Excellent. Until then." Saki-chan said as she and Skysyariman vanished.
"I can't wait for this." Hope said.
"Whoa. Easy fanboy." David said. "We still need to get there."
"Yeah, i know." Hope said. "Still, let's get to UA High."
"Sounds like a plan. UA High, here we come! Pinkie, music this ship!"
"You got it!" Pinkie said.
"No." Jexi said. "Oh wait, is the song Peace Sign?"
"You bet it is." Pinkie said.
"Oh than go right ahead." Jexi said.
"Okey dokey!" Pinke said.

As the ships reached the world, they looked down at the streets and even the TV's showing images of the USJ.
"They're still talking about that attack on the USJ." Twilight said.
"Well, due to time between worlds, it's only been three weeks since then on this world." Jexi said.
"How bad was it?" Petra said.
"Very. We even had to deal with one of the Kaima as well." Sunset said.
"And this group of villains who used their quirks for evil. Including this large guy named Nomu and a strange kid who could disintegrate stuff by touching it." Indigo said.
"Sounds like a real nasty bunch." Ross said.
"Yeah...I never even thought kids like that could be villains. Its obvious he didn't receive the Quirk counseling that kids receive in Elementary School." Fuyunyan said.
"It would probably be best we stay away from those guys." Jesse said.
"Don't worry. From what we've heard, pro heroes will take the roles of security to make sure everything in the festival is under control." David said.
"True. Since the attack on the USJ, security has been beefed up to make sure attacks like that never happen during a school function." Twilight said.
"Guess they couldn't afford to take any chances." Genis said.
They soon landed outside of UA as they glanced upon its massive gate.
"Ah. UA. How I have missed you." Hope said.
"You're late." a voice said behind him as Hope jumped to see a bandaged up man.
"Wait...Mr. Aizawa? I thought you were still in the hospital." Hope said.
"I'm fine. Now get to class." he said.
"Yes sir. Oh! I should probably introduce my new friends." Hope said.
"Don't care." Aizawa said dragging Hope inside. "Hmm? You, ice kid! You were in that motocross race a while back right?"
"Uh…" David said.
"You get in too." Aizawa said.
"R-right. Come on, guys." David said as he followed Aizawa to the school.
"Ow-ow! Not so tight!" Hope said as he was being dragged.
"He sure is a ray of sunshine, isn't he?" David said.
"He's the strictest teacher in this school." Hope said. "He once expelled a whole class of kids because they didn't meet his standards."
"Ouch. That must've been rough." David said as they were dragged to class 1-A.
"We're here. Take your seats, I have some announcements." Aizawa said.
"Man, i bet everyone will be shocked to see you." Hope said.
"Don't you know it…" Aizawa said as the door rattled open. "Morning, class."
"MR AIZAWA, WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?!" The entire class shouted, except…
"Mr. Aizawa! I'm glad you're okay!" Iida said.
"You call that...okay?" Ochako asked, nervously.
"My health is irrelevant right now. If anything, be glad Hope is back after this three weeks of absence. And a new student joining him, David Ishihara." Aizawa said.
"Wait, what?" David said before being shown a file.
"Your transcripts were sent to us yesterday, making you able to be in this classroom right now." Aizawa said.
"Wow… Those two Yo-kai thought of everything." David thought to himself.
"But what's important is that your fight isn't over yet." Aizawa said as the students listened in carefully. "The UA Sports Festival is coming up."
"The Sports Festival!" the students shouted.
"Alright, let's kick some ass!" Eijiro said in excitement before Denkei shoved him aside.
"Wait a second!" Denki said.
"Is it okay to have the Sports Festival so soon after the attack on the USJ?" Kyoka asked.
"They could attack when we're all in the same place." Ojiro said.
"Apparently, this is the administration's way of showing that the situation has been handled." Aizawa said. "It's not anything we can cancel. Our Sports Festival is one of the most watched events in the world. Its more popular than the Olympic Games due to the appearance of Quirks. Its also a sight for top heroes to scout for sidekicks and new talent. This is why it matters. This is your chance that you cannot miss. So don't slack off."
"Yes sir!" the class said.
"Class is dismissed." Aizawa said leaving.
"Now this is what everyone's been waiting for." Hope said.
"Maybe us, but you? You're technically a pro as soon as you get going." Eijiro said.
"Yeah. He makes a point. We do save the worlds a lot." David said.
"I know all that, but the big factor of the festival is showing off your skills to the world. I aim to do that as soon as I'm out there." Hope said. "I may be considered a pro...but...everyone sees me as a joke sometimes. I wanna change that. I wanna be respected and show them that I can be serious."
"That's very admirable." Iida said.
"Yeah. I want that too." David said. "So I guess this is something for both of us to enjoy."
"Speaking of which, what's your story? You an outworlder, too?" Eijiro asked.
"Something like that. But… During a recent excursion, my home was trashed. And by that, I mean completely wiped off the face of my world. It was horrifying when I found out." David said.
"That… That really is tragic. A destroyed home… No one wants to go through that." Izuku said.
"Yes. But some...unlikely allies helped get me back on my feet. My folks wouldn't want me to get discouraged over it, so I'm going to take hold of what I still have, and push onward towards the future." David said.
Eijiro was in tears over it. "That resolve… It's so manly!"
"David, I can say your story has touched us. Therefore, I wish you luck." Iida said.
"Yeah. But keep in mind, a lot of the students here and I won't go easy." Hope said.
"I won't either." David said.
"Man, they're both ready to go." Izuku said.
"Indeed." Iida said.
"Deku, Iida!" Ochako's voice came as they both turned to see her with a some sort of aura on her. "Let's do our best in the Sports festival!"
"Uh...Uraraka? What's with you?" Izuku said.
"Seriously, you're almost the most laid back in the class." Mina chimed in.
Ochako then planted her feet and put her fist up in determination. "I said I'm gonna do my best!" she said.
"Uh..yay." some of the class said.
"She's unnaturally determined. Now that I think of it...there's something I've been wanting to ask her." Hope said.
A little later in the halls…
"Huh? You wanna go pro...for the money?" Hope asked.
"Yeah, I know it's kind of selfish when you think about it." Uraraka said.
"Well, there's gotta be some motive for it." Hope said. "Everyone's gotta have something in it."
"I know. My family owns a construction company. But lately we haven't had any jobs, and we're flat out broke." Ochako said.
"Wouldn't it be better if you worked for them? You'd be able to use your quirk to lift the heavy machinery and so much more." Hope said.
"They wouldn't even need the machinery. She could float everyone of the materials." Iida said.
"I know, right?! I've been trying to tell my dad that for years, but he never goes for it. So if i became a pro hero, I want i make sure my parents have an easy life." Uraraka said.
"Well said." Hope said.
"Hahahahaha!" a familiar laugh came ringing from the hallways as All Might appeared. "Young Midoriya and Hope...are here!"
"Whoa, all might! What're you doing here?" Izuku asked.
"I was wonder if you, Hope and young Ishihara would join me for lunch." All Might said holding a small box lunch.
"Uh...sure." Izuku said as three of them followed him into the lounge.
"Wait, only fifty minutes?" Izuku asked as All Might made tea in his weakened form.
"Yeah. That's how long I can use my power now. I overdid it with that Nomu. At this point, I can barely look like All Might for an hour and a half." All Might said.
"Jeez. Sounds like a lot of bad news happened while i was gone." Hope said.
"Actually, this started the day after dealing with Nomu. Sorry to say...but my time as a hero is drawing closer and closer to an end." All Might said. "But that's not why I brought you here. I brought you three here to talk about the festival."
"I see." Hope said.
"Villains are starting to notice that the Symbol of Peace is starting to go. Midoriya, I gave you my Quirk because you will become the hero who takes my place. Do you still feel the same?" All Might asked.
"Yes!" Midoriya said.
"Good. This event will be something the entire city, no, the entire country will be paying close attention to. I want you to treat this as your debut. You are the fledgling symbol of peace. The next All Might. I want you to show yourself to the world...and say I AM HERE!" All Might said.
"And...us?" David asked.
"You two...your homes were recently destroyed right? Then it's time for you two...to show that the spirit and hope within your homes is not dead. You need to step up there and show them...that its hope and happiness...is alive!" All Might said.
"Yeah. I wanna prove that too." Hope said.
"Same here." David said.
"Then do it. Go out there and show yourselves to the world. Show them the heroes you really are!" All Might said.
