The time between meeting Hadou and the trip to Thessaly passed even faster than Uraraka expected, and now, she sat on her seat on the plane to Thessaly, looking nervously at the sky through the window.

"Is something wrong, Uraraka?"

The girl flinched and turned around to see the teacher accompanying her and Yui to Thessaly: Midnight, wearing an office lady uniform And Uraraka couldn't tell what was weirder; the fact Midnight of all people was chosen to look after U.A.'s Titans, or the fact that Midnight wore her provocative hero outfit so often, it actually felt weirder that she was wearing something normal.

And speaking of Yui, she sat on Midnight's other side, looking just as concerned for Uraraka.

"Oh, It's nothing, just... Um..." Uraraka turned back to the window. "I'm wondering what we'll see once we reach... Te... Test... Tesla-"

"Thessaly," Midnight corrected, but Uraraka was sure she'd still have trouble pronouncing that worrd regardless. "And you got nothing to worry about, Uraraka, Thessaly's a beautiful place, and whatever happens in there, it'll stay there."

Uraraka forced a little smile, but her concern remained, prompting Yui to get Midnight's attention:

"Who's the other Titan from U.A. coming with us?"

Uraraka immediately lightened up. The third Titan was something she wanted to find out too, but hadn't found time to ask about them. Granted, her own hard time processing what was happening and fear of the attention it'll get her also probably had a part in it.

"Well, she asked me not to reveal her identity to you until we arrived at Thessaly," Midnight answered, folding her arms. "Something about wanting to meet you in person. So, sorry, but my lips are sealed."

Sealed rather shoddily, perhaps, because she did reveal one thing about the Titan: she was a girl. Which, Uraraka noticed, most of the Titans she knew about were girls.

Strange coincidence, but regardless, the plane took off.

Once at Thessaly's airport, Uraraka, Midnight, and Yui walked out of the plane with the rest of the passengers and walked their way to the entrance counter.

"Greetings and welcome to Thessaly," the man behind the counter remarked. "May I have your names, please? Civillian names."

"Nemuri Kayama, Ochako Uraraka, and Yui Kodai," Midnight answered immediately. "We're here for the Titanomachy."

The man pressed some keys on his keyboard, and nodded. "Alright, You're on the list," he pressed another button and the gates opened. "Enjoy the Titanomachy."

The girls walked through the gates, anf Uraraka and Yui took a quick look at their surroundings, their jaws dropping at the fact the island city seemed more like an island festival, what with all the stands and tourists around, with the most eye-catching detail being the giant stadium in the middle of the city.

"The stadium in the middle is called Othrys, and It's the place where the Titanomachy will begin," Midnight explained before she looked at her watch. "We still got a couple minutes before the event starys, so you can prepare for the event, see the stands, anything except using your Quirks."

Of course they wouldn't be allowed to use their Quirks, why would they be allowed? Even without their ridiculous Quirk strength, the law dictated that Quirk usage was only allowed for self defense, and if allowed by the government, to help with work, so why did Midnight see fit to bring this up?

Because if Uraraka and Yui had noticed Mineta juggling his balls like a jester, then there would've been some questions.

...

Wait, Mineta was there?!

And now that Uraraka looked more clearly, most of her classmates were around too: Tsuyu, Shoji, Jiro, Shiozaki, Kirishima, more or less everybody except for Iida.

"Uraraka!"

The girl flinched and took a couple steps forward as she squinted her eyes, eventually confirming she was, indeed, being approached by Izuku Midoriya.

After all, considering where she was, she didn't want to confuse him for a certain Titan from her past.

"Oh, hi, Midoriya," she greeted, waving her hand. "Sorry for asking, but what are you and the rest of our class doing here? Weren't you going to go home after the sports festival?"

"Yeah, but All Might invited me to come see you, and everybody else just came along," Midoriya explained. "We wanted to be here in order to cheer for you."

Right, All Might was considered a Titan, do it wasn't too farfetched that he would be invited. Him bringing the rest of Class 1-A, however, was rather baffling though: they just had a potentially exhausting experience from the sports festival, was bringing them to something that would certainly be more exhausting a good idea?

And next thing Uraraka knew, some more people had joined Midoriya's side: Shiozaki, who held a boutique of flowers, Kirishima, sporting a wide smile, and Shoji, who... Was there.

"This is for you, Uraraka," Shiozaki said as she handed the boutieque to Uraraka, who made it float to Midnight's hands. "A good luck gift from everybody in the class."

Kirishima quickly added, "Sure, some of the flowers-"

"By which he means most of them," Shoji interjected.

"Were from Shiozaki, but everybody gathered flowers," Kirishima turned to the distance. "Even Mineta."

"Now that you mention him, why is Mineta using his Quirk?" Uraraka inquired. "I know he's just juggling, but he's still using them."

"Normal people can use their Quirks for entertainment purposes, It's the Titans who aren't allowed to use their Quirks at all," Midnight explained. "Of course, once the Titanomachy begins, you can go all out."

"Which will be very necessary if you face off against Yui."

Now it was Yui's turn to take a couple steps forward and look clodely at the approaching party: Class 1-B, with the only absent member being Bakugou. "No way, you guys came too?"

"There was no way Mr. Vlad King was not going to drag us here once he got invited, being a Titan and all," Kendo answered, and Uraraka quickly paid attention: the homeroom teacher for 1-B was a Titan?

Then, Kendo turned to the group of boys. "By the way, you might want to help oyour classmate over there."

Kendo pointed at one of the nearby stands, and everybody quickly noticed the pair she was talking about: Mina trying to break free from Hatsume's grasp, who was trying to drag her to the stand.

And if Hatsume was here, there was a good chance The rest of the Support Course was as well.

Come to think of it, Uraraka could also spot the purple-haired guy who turned her into an internet meme for her "Mochi Mochi" dance. Shinsou was his family name, right?

So, at least one student from General Studies was here as well...

"So, let me get this straight: Class 1-A is here, Class 1-B is here, the Support Course is here," Uraraka recapped before flailing her arms. "Is there somebody else from U.A. in here?!"

Yui raised her hand, "the third Titan?"

With that statement, Uraraka flinched and calmed down. "Right! We were supposed to meet the third Titan once we entered Thessaly! Where could she be?"

"She told me she'd be somewhere on the stands," Midnight said, saving the boutique... Somewhere. "For now, we should go look for her so we can head to the stadium."

Uraraka and Yui nodded, and once they bid farewell to their classmates, they began searching around the stands for the elusive third titan. Midnight les the way, of course, and smiled once she heard some laughter in the distance.

"That's her laughter. Let's follow it."

As soon as they did, they heard something being slammed on the ground.

"I don't like the sound of that," Yui grimaced.

"Don't worry, it'll make sense once we reach her-"

The trio stopped at the source of the laughter: a blue-haired girl, holding a large baseball bat, slamming it on the ground as she tried to slam a blonde boy's head, which popped off the ground every once in a while before going back inside. Right next to them was dark blue-haired guy leaning against the stand, looking bored.

"Well... It's less disturbing," Uraraka said.

"Definitely weirder, though," Yui added.

Midnight frowned. "Even weirder than I expected."

Then the dark blue-haired guy noticed. "Hadou, they came to pick you up."

The blue-haired girl stopped, dropped the bat, and dashed straight for the trio, giggling as she introduced herself:

"My name's Nejire Hadou! A pleasure to meet you!"

Nejire Hadou? Somehow, Uraraka felt like that name was important, but she couldn't quite figure out why.

"I'm Ochako Uraraka, and the girl next to me is Yui Kodai," Uraraka greeted, Yui saying "Hi" as soon as her name was called. "We're going to participate in the Titanomachy too."

"Ochako Uraraka?" Nejire poked her cheek. "You're the first year everyone's talking about?"

An instant chill fell down Uraraka's back: who was this "everyone" Nejire mentioned, and what were they saying?!

"We'll lose our entrance if we stay chatting here," Midnight stated, dragging the girls with her to the stadium entrance. "You can talk once the event's over."

"Geez, Mrs. Midnight, you're being such a mom right now!" Nejire giggled.

Midnight rolled her eyes. "Yes, the mother of two kids and a baby."

"Does she mean you?" Nejire asked, looking at Uraraka. "I mean, you kinda have a baby face."

Nice to know Uraraka wasn't the only one who didn't know when to shut her mouth.

And as they went through the entrance, Uraraka could spot a peculiar kid in the distance... A kid with white hair...

Uraraka and Yui were alone at the break room, Nejire and pretty much every other Titan in the room having left for the starting point. And with the pregnsnt silence quickly turning awkward, Yui decided to break the ice:

"So, Uraraka?"

"Yes, Yui?"

Yui twiddled her fingers. "Whatever happens, let's just have fun... Alright?"

Uraraka was confused. Was Yui, her superior in every way for most of their lives, actually worried? She never had been worried before, or at least, she wasn't worried whenever Uraraka saw her.

Why now?

"Sure, let's have fun."

Then the door was kicked open.

"URARAKA!"

Uraraka and Yui cheered up at the thunderous statement, recognizing the voice could belong to only one guy:

"Yoarashi!"

The large student ran up to Uraraka and shook hands with her and Yui with his usual excitement... Which translated to the girls trying their hardest to keep up with him without activating their Quirks.

It was actually pretty challenging.

"WHEN UTSUSHIMI AND I HEARD YOU AND YUI WERE GOING TO BE AT THE TITANOMACHY, WE TRIED OUR HARDEST TO FIND YOU! WE'RE SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU AGAIN SINCE THE NURSERY FACILITY!"

"We're happy to see you too," Uraraka replied, Yui nodding with a smile as she added, "Wait, you said Camie came with you?"

"WELL WE-" Yoarashi took a deep breath. "We went to the same high school after leaving middle school, Shiketsu High."

Shiketsu, the name was familiar. The school was a high school for being renowed as a potential rival for U.A. itself. And if it had both Yoarashi and Camie among their students, that statement just got a whole lot more proof.

Speaking of which, where could Camie be?

Then, something poked the girls' shoulders, prompting them to turn around, and get their cheeks poked by Camie, who was partially coming out of a portal as she snickered:

"Gotcha!"

Camie giggled and fully came out of the portal before wrapping her arms around the girls' shoulders. "I'm so happy I get to be with mah gurlz once again!"

"And we're also happy to see you too," Uraraka raised an eyebrow. "Say, did Fujimi come too?"

Rather than say yes or no, Camie put her hand on her portal, and pulled the guy himself through it, dropping him on the ground as she promptly inhaked the portal back into her mouth.

"Ugh, I told you I was coming, Utsushimi!" Fujimi snapped as he stood up. "Surely you could've waited just a couple more seconds!"

"Well I'm sorry, but Uraraka was just dying to see you again," Camie responded, playing with Uraraka's cheeks. "Would you be so cruel as to leave this pretty little face waiting?"

"Leave her alone, Utsushimi," Yui requested.

Fujimi blushed and rubbed his arm. "N-Nice to see you again, Uraraka."

"Same, Fujimi," Uraraka said, freeing herself from Camie's grasp. "Anyway, What school do you go to? Camie and Yoarashi they go to the same you, but judging by your uniform-"

"I-I go to Isamu," Fujimi interjected.

Isamu... Isamu... Nope, the name didn't register.

"Well, whenever that is, I'm sure you'll make it great," Uraraka stood up and clasped her hands. "And, really, thanks for paying us a visit, guys. It feels so good to see all my friends again."

"Most of them, you mean."

Uraraka's cheerful mood vanished instantly as she saw him standing on the door way, the one person she didn't want to see gain.

Yo Shindo.

"I'm glad I could reach you in time," Shindo said as he approached Uraraka, ignoring her furious glare. "It's been way too long, Uraraka."

Not long enough, though.

"What? No greetings for me?" Shindo extended his hand forward. "At least give me a handshake, will you?"

Uraraka's eye glew pink, and Shindo was surrounded by a pink aura before being pushed out of the way, Uraraka leaving the room as Shindo turned back to normal.

"Geez, what's her problem?" Shindo asked.

"T-The first round's about to start, s-so we should definitely head to the starting point!" Yui stuttered as she slowly made her way to the door. "See you guys there!"

Yui bolted out, leaving the rest of Uraraka's friends to think about what happened before they decided to go to the starting point as well.

The last one to leave was Shindo, who tried to figure out why Uraraka pushed him before he gave up and followed them.

The Titanomachy was about to begin, after all.
