At the airport, she was picked up by a bulldog looking guy with a very prominent canine toothed underbite. Walking towards the "Welcome to Japan, Abalina!" sign, she sighed and handed over her luggage, putting away the Japanese language book that she was able to speed read on the plane ride.
"You must be Abalina, nice to meet you. I am the Blood King, otherwise known as Kan-sensei of Class 1-B. You will be in Class 1-A, taught by Aizawa-sensei, but feel free to ask me and the other teachers for help if you need any."
"Thank you," Abalina muttered with a strong American accent, "But I should be fine. It's late and I'd like to just settle down for the night. I still have to go to school tomorrow, and I'm sure you want to go home to your family, so you can just drop me off at my apartment."
"As you wish," Kan-sensei replied. On the way there, he told Abalina about school life at UA. She was a year younger than everyone, her being 14 and everyone else 15, but the school thought she should be within their care as soon as possible, and she should be able to handle the school work and curriculum.
When she arrived at the apartment, she looked around, entranced by beauty of the spacious apartment. Only two blocks away from UA, it was a penthouse suite that had a great view of the school campus and the city.
Immediately, after signing into the WiFi, she was barraged by texts from her mom.
Mom
Sweetie how was your trip?
Are you settled in yet?
How is your apartment?
Do you have food? Toiletries?
Are the bodyguards following you around?
Me
Great, yes, great, yes, yes, yes, and yes I'm ok.

Mom
Oh honey you are awake! Are you feeling ok? Do you want to call?
Me
Don't worry mom, everything is ok. I'm just a bit tired
Can we call tomorrow? I want to get enough sleep for school.
Mom
Of course, get your rest.
Sleep well, goodnight
Me
Goodnight
With that, she plugged in her phone, brushed her teeth, and turned in for the night. When they said state of the art, they weren't joking she thought. There was a kitchen with everything one could possibly need, including a cotton candy machine, a bidet in the bathroom, and lighting and temperature was set to change depending on the weather and the mood of whoever was inside. Everything was like one big room because there were no walls (except for the bathroom), but every "room" had a distinguishable area. Thank god it wasn't one of those gray or white monstrosities, those are so "modern" that Abalina just considered them bleak. Here, ceiling was painted a soft yellow (with glow in the dark stars where the bed was), and the walls around her were all glass that you can't see in from the outside for obvious privacy reasons. I can get used to this. Living in a peaceful apartment, going to a good school, I can definitely get used to this. And with that thought, she drifted off to sleep.
Knock knock…
Knock knock knock…
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK-
"Okay okay I'm coming!" Abalina yelled,scrambling out of bed to open the door for whoever decided to wake her from her slumber. Who could it be at this ungodly hour? It's before noon, I don't want to be woken up. Gasping at the sight of little Principal Nezu and All Might at the front of the door, Abalina was so embarrassed she turned beet red. Seeing her in only a massively oversized t-shirt and an unkempt "just-woke-up-look", the two visitors also blushed a softer shade of red.
"Uh… Young Abalina! We are here to escort you to campus on your first day of school! Maybe you forgot to set an alarm, but school starts at 8:30 and it is currently 8:15, so you might want to get ready. We have notebooks, supplies, and your student ID all in this bag, so just change and eat breakfast and we can get going. Don't want to be too late one your first day of school, right?"
"Oh, uh, uh, yea! Please come in and sit, I'll be out in just a moment!" HOW CAN I FORGET TO SET THE ALARM?! I have to do it ASAP so I don't forget again, ASAP! After a few minutes of speed changing and hardcore speed brushing of teeth and hair, Abalina stepped out in the grey and green uniform, sparkling from head to toe. Long black hair cascading down her back and shoulders, face clean, clear, and bright, she properly greeted the teacher and principal once more and the three headed off to school.
Seeing two prominent figures of the school accompanied by a beautiful girl that commanded attention and respect, the group caught the eyes of several onlookers, and curious glances from fellow students attending the prestigious school. She could just smell the rumors brewing from those whispering around her. Well, there goes my shot at being a lowkey nobody for the year she sighed.
"Something wrong?" the principal inquired.
"No, I just don't think I'm ready for this yet."
"Don't worry, you'll be just great. This is your class, and in your bag a map of the school. First period already started, but Mr. Aizawa should understand. Go on in now, we'll be taking our leave."
"Good luck Young Abalina! I'm sure you'll be great!"
Huh, great at what? "Uh… yes sensei! Thank you for sending me off!"
On the other side of the unnecessarily large door, she could hear the homeroom teacher talking to all the students.
"We have a new student coming today from America. She's not only new to this school, but this country and this society. She's also a year younger than you and never got to legitimately learn Japanese, so please go easy on her." Go easy? Are they going to attack me? So caught up in her nervous thoughts, she almost missed Aizawa telling her to come in. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door to a whole new world.
Wow. Just WOW. 20 pairs of curious eyes were stuck on her. She met angry crimson from a blonde, soft inquiring moss green, serious and stern blue, and several others. Each telling a story, each sizing her up….
But Borrowing all of their Quirks, it was amazing to take so many strong Quirks all at once. Each better than the next… other than him. Izuku Midoriya.
Eh whatever she didn't want to get mixed up in his funky business.
"Introduce yourself," Aizawa said.
"Hi, my name is Abalina Chen from America. Nice to meet you all."
"Whoa, America? Where from America?" and alien looking girl asked.
"Hey newbie, what's your quirk?" the explosive blonde yelled.
"How did you get in after the entrance exams?" the freckled green boy asked.
"Enough questions, you can chat after school. Go get changed, we'll go back to USJ for rescue training." USJ after the attack huh? They must be scarred.
In the locker room all the girls introduced themselves and excitedly chattered. Apparently, Abalina was a thinner, less busty version of Momo. Same height, same black hair, just that Momo had a cute aura while Abalina had a commanding ethereal aura.
"Oh, you never told us your Quirk," Tsuyu reminded.
"That's right, what Quirk do you have?" Ochako asked.
Looking around at the eyes at her, Abalina nervously dodged the question. "You'll see later." After 10 years of being "Quirkless", she cant just suddenly talk about her Quirk. Her years of hiding built up this wall for her, one that was not easy to conquer.
Abalina was given a sports uniform since her hero costume wasn't made yet (much to Mineta's dismay), and the chatter of the class died down once Aizawa arrived. Everyone was worrying about how 13-sensei and Aizawa-sensei could still teach in their condition, but they pressed on, teaching the students to the end. After watching (and unfortunately participating) in the somewhat useless training of saving an unconscious victim, an injured victim, and a panicked idiot, she thought the pointless lesson was finally over. Until the hide-and-seek style searching part began.
"Well… it was originally going to be 16 people are going to hide in this fake city, 8 of them not allowed to speak, and 4 people search, but there's an extra person… I guess you can join the search team with Izuku, Mineta, Uraraka, and Bakugo," 13 explained.
"Why do I have to be stuck with Deku?!" Bakugo screamed.
"Oh no…. Just suck it up buttercup."
"WHAT'D YOU SAY NEWBIE?!"
"Talk shit get hit, so shut up."
"Ok ok quit bickering you two," Aizawa interjected. "Injured people you have 2 minutes to hide."
"Ok students! Don't forget no situation is strange in these cases ok? Also Mineta, you are forbidden from carrying anyone." Abalina nodded in agreement to 13-sensei. Makes sense.
"Ready…. Start!"
As they all split up, Abalina went into an alleyway near several buildings, hoping she can catch the attention of someone who could talk. Instead, she caught the attention of a mystery man.
"My my, what is a girl like you doing in a shady alleyway?"
The frick I don't remember this being part of the plan. "Who's there? Reveal yourself."
"Sorry but I don't have time to entert-"
"Oh it's you. Lemme guess, All Might. You're pretending to be a bad guy, wearing that black suit with edgy spikes, and you want to attack the entire class and see how they work together to fight a strong villain?"
"...How did you?"
"I Borrowed an identity Quirk before."
"Oh. And yes, that's essentially what I was planning, Young Abalina. I was going to capture you and use you as a hostage, but you can feel free to fight back." He scooped up Abalina and jumped away.
"Found you, Jirou! Release!" Uraraka happily sang as she lifted a car off of Jirou.
"Haha, I didn't think you'd find me."
"URARAKA! JIROU! RUN!"
"Huh? Wasn't Iida an injur- WOAH!" Jirou yelped as she and Uraraka were tackled by Iida.
"What the… who's that? And in his hand… Abalina?!" Uraraka shouted.
Everyone instantly knew something was wrong when the ground started shaking, running to the point that was causing the disturbance.
"A villain? No way…" Momo murmured.
As the class stared at disbelief, Ojirou ran over to the teaachers.
"Oh no. We are injured and can't fight," Aizawa plainly said.
"You're not getting away!" the "villain" shouted. "I will finish you all!" With a single strike, he cleared out a whole area of the faux city to use as an arena.
Bakugo launched toward the villain, getting into a head on fight. "Run away, and take the weaklings with you!" he commanded Iida.
"What weaklings?"
"We are the students of UA, class 1-A!"
"We will be heroes!"
As all the students agreed and started to fight together as a team, Abalina started to stir.
"Haha, how brave, but can you take this?" All Might punched some concrete towards the students, not realizing Abalina wriggled out of his grasp and stood up next to him. As the students fought of the debris and captured him, several running in to attack, All Might ripped of the net and with one punch, blew everyone away.
"I didn't think you'd all come at me at once. It's unexpected, yet-"
"DIE!" Bakugo attacked from behind. As Deku started to gather a team for a plan, Bakugo and All Might suddenly stopped. Getting everyone's attention, they saw Abalina walking towards the two people who were stiffer than statues.
"Oh right, where did she go off to?" Deku wondered.
"This fight," she said, gripping the villain's mask, "Is over."
And just like that, she revealed the "villain's" identity.
"ALL MIGHT?" the class shouted, attacking him for doing something so dangerous as soon as Abalina released the paralyzation.
"Pfft. Idiot! I almost had him!" Bakugo yelled.
"No, no you didn't. At that rate, you would need thinkers like Deku to come up with a plan, put it to action, and those don't even have a hundred percent chance of succeeding. I just wanted to 'win', so I just quickly ended the battle. The End."
"But wait… doesn't that mean you were in on this surprise, Abalina?" Izuku asked.
"You can say that, but All Might said I can join in if I wanted. Even if I didn't know he was All Might, I would've done the same thing, and the outcome would've been the same. I hope I didn't disrupt your training too much," she said, bowing at a 90 degree angle.
"No, no. It was great to learn by watching you!" Izuku reassured.
Todoroki watched from the side, looking intently at Abalina. Would he have able to do the same? Easily freeze All Might? All Might would've just broken his ice, does that make her stronger than him? What was her Quirk? Was it just paralyzation, or was there more? Those thoughts plagued his mind for the rest of the day. Who was this girl that was threatening his spot on her very first day at school?
(A/N: Yes, I know the first episode of the anime mentioned in this fic isn't part of the normal seasons but rather an OVA, but I just thought it'd be best. I originally had the class group into pairs and spar, but the draft was so bleak and bad, I just scrapped it and went with the OVA. Technically it fits timeline wise so…. There was no one to stop me. Also I've never written text dialogue or fight scenes before, so I sorta ended skimming and skipping those parts. I should touch up on that before the games. Halfway through I decided I should just stop putting the "sensei" in after every teachers name because it was too redundant. Hopefully this chapter you see some of the sass that Abalina has, and how Todoroki is getting interesteddddd ooooh. But yea. I'm probably going to edit this chapter later, but it's basically a filler so that the class 1-A students get to meet and get interested in Abalina before the games.)
