This is a small continuation from my earlier Space Prompt - Because people really seemed to like that - and i had a lot of fun with it - I decided I'd go over it again here - I hope that's alright with everyone.


"Uh... There."

"Nope. That'd be X'tep-Zet'ora."

"What, the asteroid? In the second belt?"

"Yep."

"How can you even tell from this distance?"

"Notice the green. All our far distance asteroid colonies are lightning color-coded so we can keep visual track of them from here. We can see the entire colour spectrum - Might as well use it, y'know?"

Xenosia was a planet that truly defied beauty.

The landscape was pink, it's dirt a shade of purple, as opposed to Earth's brown. It was a world divided up into three continents, and several hundred smaller islands. Many of those islands had, in eons passed, been home to various nobles, given their own lots of land by the Royalty of the Xenosian continents, where they could make their own rules and laws away from the laws of the mainland.

As unity had come through though, those islands returned to overall state control, and had been developed upon - While preserving their historical heritage, they had been constructed to fit purposes - Some were factories that spanned entire small islands, while others were research labs, that filled up spaces the size of Ireland or Hokkaido. Or entire islands dedicated to plant life, to keep oxygen levels high on the heavily populated world.

Acid oceans, underwater cities, huge arcologies that reached the clouds - Xenosia was so developed, it was amazing to even really believe that they wanted to speak to Humanity at all. Technologically and developmentally, they were centuries ahead of the Solaris Federation.

After the revelation that Mina was one of the first Quirk users of the race though, it wasn't hard to understand the nature of this agreement.

The Yuuei would provide its services to those Xenosians who had developed their powers, to teach and guide them, and in exchange, Xenosia would provide Earth with technology and architectural plans. They would be tested on Earths New Atlantis continent before being taken into major populated areas. It was a fair trade, all in all, in which both sides benefited.

Arriving on Xenosia, Izuku had found himself being dragged around by his Royal friend and charge - The pair had been able to grow close during the trip, and Mina had wanted to show off just about every aspect of Xenosia that she could to him. It's people - Human like, but their major distinguishing feature were their horns - It's capital, residing underwater, with a series of pathways that sprawled for miles that made the Urbus Aquarun and the Mariana Trench Habitat seem tiny in comparison, sprinkling the oceans with flickering lights, like stars lived underneath it's surface.

And speaking of stars, that was another thing she wanted Izuku to witness. Stargazing from Xenosia. Hence why now, at the dead of night, the pair of them had found one of the untouched cliff-sides on the Western continent, and set up a couple of tents.

The hard part turned out being able to even find a star.

"Okay... What about that one?" Izuku pointed at a red dot in the sky which seemed a bit larger than those around it - The telltale signs of a nearby red giant.

"Nope." Mina smirked. "Rixlen-Lenora. I think my Mother was born there."

"Another asteroid world?"

"Artificial flat world."

Izuku just let out a long, loud sigh. "Your people's technology is amazing... We've got a couple of flat-worlds, but none of them are as big or bright as that..."

"Hopefully Solaris will get to enjoy some of it soon."

"Are there even any stars visible from this planet?"

"Sure there are." Mina assured him, and then pointed. "See that one?"

Following the path her finger gave him, Izuku followed it to a white star. Again, fairly large compared to the distance of stars from here and Earth. It was thanks to that size he was able to notice, "...Is it just me, or does that star... Kind of split in two?"

"No, you're right. It's the Zanek's ring-world."

"Ring-world? You mean like what you have around your second sun?"

"Yeah. They were nomadic and we gave them the tech to make a ring-world, and now they're our neighbors. They help out a lot with building up planets. They're good guys."

Once more, Izuku let out a small sigh. The Xenosians were a fascinating race. What Humanity had begun to do, the Xenosian's had already mastered. Underwater cities, floating islands, ring-worlds, rapid terraformation technology... And yet they needed Humanities help. Because they were starting to evolve and didn't know how to cope.

He looked up at the stars again. "...It's rare for Earth to get such pure clear skies unless you're in the Antarctic Cities."

"You talk about how amazing our tech is." Mina said, looking towards him now. "And yet you guys decided to colonize you're freaking south pole. You terraformed your Sahara, rose a continent out of the ocean, made massive underwater cities, inhabited your deserts, hollowed out your mountains to become research and apartment blocks and colonized planets no sane species ever would."

"What does that have to do with... Anything?"

The pink skinned Xenosian smiled. "I can tell you're comparing Xenosia to Earth. I really wouldn't. To be honest, a lot of our people are jealous of yours."

"J - Jealous?"

"You have the Gifts. You can colonize pretty much anywhere on your world - We had to terraform parts of our own planet just to go there. You guys did it just so living there would be easier. You've expanded so quickly, and we did it slowly."

"You're... Also getting Quirks."

"Not the point. The point is, Earth's amazing... Even if your countries make literally no sense and are the dumbest thing ever."

"H-Hey!"

"That's the point of this exchange though. So we can better one another. So you benefit us, and we benefit you. That's... How it's supposed to be, isn't it?"

As she finished her sentence, she held out her hand. It was the handshake of unity - elbow facing the ground, and the forearm up at an angle - An Earth custom as nations put aside their conflicts, and worked together.

The Human smiled, and returned the handshake. And they both went back to watching the stars.

Neither let go other others hand though.


Aaaaand there we go - This was a fun AU to explore and i just enjoyed going over it again.
