(A/N: Time for the U.S.J.
It is time for the reveal of Lancer's true name. The Nomu! How will things go down?! Only time will tell!
Let us begin!)
Chapter 19: The U.S.J.
Izuku, Mash, and Ritsuka walked through the U.A. gate, the Master letting a long yawn out.
The One For All user looked at the redheaded girl. "Ritsuka, are you alright? Did Nezu keep super later?"
"Yeah," Ritsuka said with a hunched back. "Though I am proud to say, he has lightened my sentence because of the events of yesterday."
"Really?" Mash seemed a little surprised, "What did you do to do that?"
"Well," Ritsuka began to explain how the principal read her report on the Assassin, Jack the Ripper, the principal asked her various questions about Jack and soon after other Servants she managed to summon. She even told him about the dream cycles she would experience with the Servants. Obviously she did not tell him or her friends about the voices in her head, didn't want to be labeled as an insane person.
"I still wonder how you're able to see the memories of those who were technically dead. I mean since your quirk is technically magic-" CHOP TO THE HEAD!
"Magecraft! Not magic!" Ritsuka stated as if he had said something incredibly stupid. "Magic is something completely different!"
"Ow, that hurts," Izuku grabbed his hair, "but what's the difference then Ritsuka?"
Ritsuka couldn't help but smile, this was a tidbit of knowledge she actually wanted to share. "Well to simplify magecraft is simply the ability to do something that can be done by normal means, like reinforcement. Its purpose is to strengthen the caster or what the caster wants, but you can do the same as using better material or training to accomplish the same goal."
Izuku nodded understanding, "Okay, then I'm assuming that magic is doing something that can't be done by normal means, right?"
"Correct!" Ritsuka said, snapping her fingers while pointing at Izuku. "Magic is the ability to do what can't be done by normal means, from what my dad had said, there are only five magics or True Magic in the world."
"How do you know all that?" Mash had to ask.
"Dad," the Master and Magus in training stated with a smile. "Magecraft and the world around it can be super confusing, but it is so cool at the same time!"
Mash could't help but chuckle. "Only you could find something complicated, fun, and boring at the same time, Senpai."
Ritsuka let a small giggle. "Why, I take that as a compliment, my lovely Mash."
"Hey," a somewhat quiet voice said behind them. The trio turned to see Todoroki with Fou sitting on his shoulder. "You're all heading to class?"
"Yeppo my dear classmate," Ritsuka said doing a curtsy. "And I see Fou is with you today," she said with a smirk deciding to stroke the white squirrel like Beast.
"Fou!" the small creature decided to leap onto the redhead's shoulder, rubbing his head on her cheek.
"Aw," Ritsuka smiled at the Beast's show of affection.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
Aizawa and Bedivere stood in front of class 1-A, as they were ready for the day.
"Hello everyone!" Bedivere greeted with enthusiasm. "We have quite the day planned for all of you."
"Right," Aizawa said, and with that all the students froze, worried they might get expelled. "Today we'll have four instructors. Me, Bedivere, All Might, and another member of faculty will be in charge."
Many of the students were wondering what could possibly warrant having four pros with them. Most came to the conclusion it had to do with the breaking yesterday.
"Hey, what are we doing exactly?" one of the students asked.
Bedivere smiled, "You students will be doing one of the core aspects of hero work. Rescues."
Most of the young heroes in training all became excited. To be able to show off their abilities once more.
"Settle down," Aizawa said, with his signature frown. Or was it just him not smiling, who knew? Only Merlin would know. "What you wear is up to you, that means costumes. Just be aware some of you might not be used to them and they could limit your abilities."
"Now then, once you suit up we'll head to the buses," Bedivere added. "Since this is an off campus building we'll need something faster than foot."
"Yep," Aizawa said, heading to the door. "Get ready and we'll meet you there."
"See you soon," Bedivere waved to them all as he followed Aizawa.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Alright everyone, please don't crowd the door," Mash tried to keep things going smoothly as their class rep, and anyone who would disrupt that would be met with a large metallic shield.
"Mash," Bedivere walked up to the lilac shield hero, "Hand me your shield, I imagine you don't want to ride the bus holding onto that large thing."
"Oh, um, sure," Mash replied hesitantly. Handing her sword to the knight.
"Hello my lovable eggplant!" someone wrapped their shoulder around her. "How ya feeling?"
"Senpai," Mash said a little surprised, "um, would it be alright if I said nervous?"
Ritsuka smiled, "Of course! I mean looking at Izuku or Koda, they are by far the cinnamon rolls of the class, though something tells me the latter is more innocent than our green haired broccoli boy."
Mash looked at her childhood friend and raised an eyebrow, "Why do you say that?"
"The quiet nature, the way he speaks WHEN he speaks, I don't know. I feel it in my gut," the redhead stated.
"Weirdo," Mash said, lightly pushing Ritsuka away, "Now get on the bus, don't want to keep them waiting."
\/\/\/\/\/\/
The bus had an open layout, which gave the students plenty of room.
"Say, Midoriya," Tsuyu said to the green haired boy.
"Um, yes Asui?" Izuku wondered why the frog-like girl was talking to him, it was a confusing concept, he had recently been making friends, but still, a girl talking to him was an oddity.
"I told you to call me Tsu," the frog girl said, receiving an apology from Izuku. "Your quirk, it's a lot like All Might's."
The reaction she got out of him seemed typical for Izuku's normally shy and timid self. Which made it if it was anyone else who had that reaction it would cause some to question but for him, not so much.
"R-really why do you think so?" Izuku asked.
"Hold on," Kirishima, who was sitting next to Tsuyu and Mash, "You forget, All Might doesn't break his body when he uses his ability."
Mash nodded her head, "Yeah, I mean my dad's quirk could be seen like All Might's too, it's just a strength enhancement quirk."
All eyes fell onto her, which made it seem weird. "What?"
"Wait, I thought Lancelot's quirk was the ability to enhance objects!" Mina yelled.
"No, most people have the wrong idea about his quirk," Mash said to Ashido. "His quirk is the ability to turn anything he perceives as a weapon into a weapon, like a sharp rock, or a fire extinguisher, which can be used for blushing," she said. "But he has enhanced strength."
Ritsuka nodded her head, "I mean he wears all that armor, and is able to pick up a stop sign, WITH CONCRETE still attached, and run with it, he's gotta have enhanced strength. Having a weapon you can't use is not a weapon, but a burden."
"So manly," Kirishima muttered, thinking about the words. "Man, I'm jealous, wish I had a flash quirk." he extended his hand, hardening it.
"What are you talking about?" Izuku said, looking at him. "I think you look really awesome."
"Really?" Kirishima said, not really believing it. "I mean, if my quirk was more flashy, I'd probably be a popular hero."
The class continued to talk about who'd be a good pro, and something the trio of friends from junior high would never expect happened. People, other than Ritsuka, were teasing Bakugo. Ritsuka didn't know how to feel, on one side she wanted to join in, on the other she wanted to be the sole teaser, and made her feel special.
"Look alive, we're here!" Bedivere said with a joyous expression. As the bus stopped and the teachers exited. "Mash, come here and help me grab your shield."
"Yes!" Mash said standing up and rushing to the knight.
"Hurry up," Aizawa said, looking behind him at the students. "We don't have all day."
As the students filled out of the bus, and Bedivere and Mash were grabbing the large shield, one person stood in front of them
"Hello everyone, glad for you to be here," in front of them was the Space Herp, Thirteen. The rescue hero greeted them all with open arms. The green haired boy couldn't help but geek out with his mochi faced friend. "Follow me, I can't wait to show you the inside," Thirteen offered.
The students followed the Space hero as they entered the U.S.J. or the Unforeseen Safety Join, or as the students put it, Universal Studios Japan.
"Hey, Thirteen, shouldn't big blondie be here?" Aizawa asked, followed by Bedivere. "He probably has an interview or something."
The students couldn't hear, but was able to see the space hero holding up three of their five fingers.
"Let's get a move on," Aizawa said.
"Right!" Thirteen said. The hero explained their quirk, how it was a powerful quirk, like many of the students, but pointed out how the even quirks used for defensive purposes can still be deadly. With their speak over, the students cheered.
"Alright, with that over let's get started," as Aizawa was pointing to the ground below, only the students heard the sound of electricity zapping, making the lights flicker and the water stopped. And like a few times before, Ritsuka felt the odd feeling of remembrance, like she had forgotten something, only not with the same joyful feeling but a more cautious and dreading feeling.
By the fountain a black portal appeared, a man began to come out of it.
"Everyone, don't go down!" Bedivere said in his less light hearted tone. "Thirteen, keep the students safe, Aizawa."
"Right," the shaggy hero said, placing his goggles hiding his eyes on.
"What the?" Kirishima said, "Is the training starting?"
"No," Mash said, worried, "We're supposed to be doing rescue training, not combat."
As the villains filled out one man one man didn't move, one with light blue hair and hands covering him. But soon as the smaller villains finished coming out, three figures came out all at once. The first was a man with a gentlemanly smile, though you couldn't see it from where he was standing, and wearing all green, a girl with long pale lilac hair, in one hand was a large red spear and on her other was a small shield, and the last to exit the portal was a large figure with a bird like face and his brain exposed.
Ritsuka looked at them all, but her eyes lingered on two of them. She felt petrified when her eyes fell on them, but this was especially strong with the man in green.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
"I only see Thirteen, Sir Bedivere, and Eraser head." what was the portal spoke.
"Where is he?" Shigaraki spoke, scratching his neck "I went through the trouble of grabbing all these lovely people."
To the side the girl with her hair covering her right eyes just rolled her eyes. "Oh, stop with the foreplay, it's annoying."
Lev only let out a chuckle, "You were never like this back at Chaldea, oh how you've grown up."
The Servant just glared, "Bite me, I could care less about this fight, you know what I want. I just want to have her."
Shigaraki just let out a loan groan. "Will you two stop this? I hate it when a cutscene drags, and right now, you're dragging." He then hunched over. "Maybe if I kill a few kids or a hero or two things'll get better."
"Sure, sure," the Lancer said, dismissively. "Kurogiri, send me to one of the locations, and only drop the ones I asked for."
"As you wish Lancer," the misty villain said, as the Lancer and Lev walked through his portal.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
"How did they get in?" Kaminari asked. "Shouldn't there be alarms?"
"Good questions," Thirteen said.
"Odds are someone's blocking the signal from," Bedivere said, unsheathing his sword. "The one with the hands covering him, he said something about bringing all of these villains here, he seemed to be expecting someone who isn't here, meaning he was expecting the number one pro."
"Thirteen, get everyone out of here, Fujimaru," he called out.
"Yes?!" Ritsuka responded quickly.
"I want you to call your Servants, I don't know if they have someone who can unlock your command seals, or whatever they're called, but I think calling your Servants would be a wise move.
"Alright," Ritsuka nodded her head. "By my command seal-" her hand was forced down, Ritsuka looked at the silver haired knight. "What?"
"Telepathy, call your Servants through that, don't waste your seals." Bedivere gave her a soft smile, "Your Lancers are fast, and your Avenger too. And if you worded it wrong, you could've taken Sherlock from the police."
"Um, alright," Ritsuka said, nodding her head.
Ritsuka took a deep breath, a little unsure what to say. Though she just needed to get her message across.
"Everyone, we're in big trouble, and I mean big!" Ritsuka flat out yelled in her head, not really having control of her volume.
"First, ow," it was Cu, "Secondly, you're contacting us all at once? What's going on?"
"Mommy?! Are you okay?!" it was bad this time.
"Yeah, I'm fine for now, listen, I need back up, villains are attacking the U.S.J. it's located on U.A.'s campus, and I need someone here NOW!"
"I'm with d'Eon, we'll be there as fast as we can," Cu replied.
"Us Servant's at home are on our way," to Ritsuka's surprise, it was Dantes this time.
"Sherlock? Da Vinci? You there?" Ritsuka asked out loud.
"What is she doing?" Oujiro asked.
"Telepathy," Izuku answered, "She's able to communicate with her Servants through a telepathic link."
"Got it," Ritsuka responded. "There on their way, Dantes, d'Eon, and Cu will be the first to arrive."
"Alright," Aizawa said. "We'll hold these villains off."
"Wait, you can't!" Izuku yelled to the heroes. "Mister Aizawa, your skills are suited for one on one fights and stealth, and Mister Bedivere, your's suited for one on one as well."
"Then we'll have to keep it that way," Aizawa said as he jumped to action.
"Don't worry," Bedivere said, "I've lived a long life, I know a thing or two."
Before three villains could even react, Eraser had his scarf around them, and knocked them all out at once.
"Getting started without me? I'm hurt," Bedivere teased.
"Not now," Aizawa said, already done with this.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
At the police station, Sherlock stood up from his chair. "Tsukauchi," the best detective said, his eyes narrowed. "Master just called, U.A. is under attack."
The detective looked at Sherlock with widened eyes. "Are you sure? When did she call?!"
"Just now, '' said a large group of villains just attacking something called the U.S.J. I believe that was the Unforeseen Safety Joint, if I'm not mistaken."
"Yes, it's one of U.A.'s training grounds," the detective confirmed, "did she say anything specific?"
"Now, only that she needed us fast," Sherlock said.
"I'll inform the other," the detective said before going off.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
At the same time Da Vinci stood up from her chair, only this time it fell to the floor.
"Yo, Da Vinci, what's going on with you?" Black Jack asked, in a slightly teasing tone.
"Romani, Lancelot, U.A.'s under attack," she said to the two heroes.
Everyone in the room stopped and looked at her.
"Ritsuka just called in, or telepathyed in, I don't know, but she said something called the U.S.J. was under attack, she called us all. She called us all."
Eyes fell onto Romani and Lancelot, who both stood in place. Black Jack, who was either brave or stupid, walked up to Lancelot.
"I'll get your gun," she said as she walked out the door.
"Want us to come along?" Grimmlock asked, he wasn't worried, but more out of not wanting to go overkill, not saying he wouldn't go overkill but just to not call out more than needed.
"That depends?" Romani asked. "Can you handle the sight of blood?"
"Wait, shouldn't we avoid killing people?" M82 asked, concerned.
"We won't be the ones killing," the Caster replied, "save for Lancelot, if Ritsuka's Servants get there before us, there will be blood."
"I'll get the keys," Grimmlock said, getting up. "And Solomon isn't driving."
"Not the time," Lancelot said coldly, with the look that would kill most.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
As expected the first to arrive was Dantes and Cu, appearing just in front of the U.A. barrier.
"Find wherever the U.S.J. thing is, I'll head inside and look for the dick wizard."
"Fine by me," Dantes replied, turning into black flames.
Cu took one step, and was gone in an instant, he was running through the halls of U.A. looking for the wizard in question.
As he was running by he spotted a room with the words, teacher's lounge. Deciding to check there, since it was Merlin he was looking for, he flung the door open.
"Merlin, get your sorry ass over here!" Cu yelled. Only instead of the wizard he was looking for he only found a man with the looks of a skeleton and a rodent… mouse… bear, dog, thing, in a suit.
The skeleton man stood up fast, putting his fist up. "Who are you?!" he asked, alarmed the stranger asked
"My now," Nezu said in a more calm tone, surprised by the door being flung open by the Lancer. "Who would you be?"
Cu took a moment to register what he was seeing, "Oh right, those quirk things," he said to himself. "You can call me Lancer, and right now, I'm looking for Merlin."
"Hmm? Why?" Nezu asked, "Would you like some tea while you explain?"
"No!" Cu yelled. "Look right now I'm in a real hurry, something called the U.S.J. is under attack right now-"
"The U.S.J." yelled All Might, "What's going on?!"
"Master called, said it was under attack," the Lancer replied, "Now if any of you happens to know where it is, that'd be greatly appreciated."
"Toshinori," Nezu said to the deflated pro-hero, "stay here, I need to make an announcement to the staff."
"Wait, what about the students?!" All Might asked, worried.
"Other Servants are coming," Cu cut in. "And as much as I respect a man who wants to fight, Toshinori, was it? You're all skin and bones, and with the Servants there, and I'm betting Lancelot being there, you'd probably only get in the way."
"How would you know someone from Chaldea would come?" Nezu asked curiously.
"She contacted us all, meaning the ones with Lancelot and the police heard and are bringing reinforcements, now where can I find this U.S.J.?" the Lancer asked.
"It's the road to the east," Nezu said to the Lancer. "And if you're heading there and contact any other Servants, try and tell them to kill as little people as they can, though from what Fujimaru has said, I don't know if that will be possible."
Cu Chulainn shrugged his shoulders, "If they'll listen," he said before dashing away.
\/\/\/\/\/\/
The students and Thirteen made their way to the exit, or entrance, of the U.S.J. when a black portal formed onto the ground.
A man of black mist emerged from the portal on the ground, the students and teacher stopped in their tracks.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all. We are the League of Villains. Even though it is considered rude to drop by unannounced, we wished to say hello," Kurogiri said, "A haven of justice, a good place for the Symbol of Peace, All Might, to take his final breath. Don't you think?"
"He should have been here today?" the misty villain said. "A change of plans must have occurred we haven't predicted. Ah, well that doesn't matter, I still have a role to play." he began to extend his mist.
As Kurogiri was speaking his monoloage the Apollo Thirteen hero had one of their fingers open up going to use Black Hole, only for three figures to attack. Bakugo and Kirishima jumped up to Kurogirl, Bakugo ready to release an explosion and Kirishima's arm was as hard as a rock. The last figure to attack was Ritsuka shooting a Gandr shot at him.
Smoke filled the area from Bakugo's explosion. They waited for it to clear, but only heard laughter. "You children live up to your school's reputation. Though don't be reckless children, someone might get hurt otherwise."
"Get back!" Thirteen commanded the two heroes in training, but it was too late for them to do anything.
Kurogiri spread his black mist all over the area, wrapping it around them. He was discussing them in different parts of the U.S.J. He had not been told where to place most of them, only to bring two individuals to the fire area. An orange haired Master and a lilac haired shielder.
