Class 1-A meets...
Chapter thirteen: The Crazy Cannabis Co.
The audience that had been summoned by the Realmcrafter Talespinner69 had just finished watching the latest episode of the current realm that they were all watching. It was one big realm split up into multiple 'episodes', and in each one a member of the family of a class 1-A student meets the whole of class 1-A. The premise was good, and some parts came off as very heartwarming, but there were...some...points of contention.
"I still can't believe that Satsuki did all of that..." Tsuyu said in an embarrassed tone, her head hung a bit in shame.
"Just bring your little brother around more so we can love him to bits," Hagakure replied, drawing nods out of the other girls, "That could make up for it."
Gesturing to the big screen, Spinner said, "You know, I'm kind of worried now. I mean, at some point that Endeavor bastard is bound to show up, and there's no doubt that he'll just up and shit all over everything."
"I will not defecate on everything if and when I show up!" Endeavor snapped.
Turning to face the flame hero, Spinner snapped back, "I meant that metaphorically, idiot!"
"His ego is easily assailed," Stain spat, "And yet he's the number one now."
Dabi, with an amused smirk, added, "If what I apparently did in our world holds true, hopefully it won't be for long." The hero killer allowed himself a smirk at this.
As Endeavor sunk into his seat out of shame, Kotaro saw Tale talking on the phone. "No, I'm still fixing the damage," Tale said, then after a few formalities were exchanged he ended the call. "I had to explain a few things to someone," Tale said to Kotaro, "Don't worry, I got everything taken care of that needs immediate attention."
"Well I should certainly hope so," Kotaro replied, "The next episode is ready."
The audience all heard what Kotaro said. "Awesome, we get to see more action!" Mina cheered, "I can't wait to see who has fun with us next!"
Scoffing, Spinner remarked dryly, "If it's Endeavor then you kids will be in for a bad time."
"Especially since he acts like his ego's the size of Jupiter," Stain added.
Chuckling a little, Dabi replied, "With all due respect Stain, you underestimate the size of my old man's ego." Endeavor looked emotionally broken as everyone turned front and center to look at the big theater screen as the next episode began to play.
...
(Class 1-A meets Toya Todoroki aka Dabi (Shoto Todoroki's big brother)
"We're meeting Dabi now?" Izuku in the audience remarked in a surprised tone.
Gesturing to the big theater screen, Aizawa said, "Given that he's a villain, there's no way that it can go well ultimately."
"Oh come on," Dabi said, "Give it a chance."
The whole of class 1-A was following along behind their teacher Aizawa. Also leading the group was Hizashi and Sekijiro, the latter of those two being here explaining why the whole of class 1-B was also part of the group. "Umm, senseis," Yaoyorozu began in a confused tone, "Why are all of us heading to Gym Gamma again?"
"As you and all of your schoolmates here should know," Aizawa began, "As of late a number of hostile parties had been wiped out wholly. Shigaraki, the escaped Overhaul, friggin' All For One, and even that neo-Nazi paramilitary group of villains that all had quirks that made them humanoid gorillas."
Shrugging, Bakugo said, "Yeah, I still want to meet the absolute madlad who pulled off killing all of those Nazi gorillas."
Turning to look at her son, Mitsuki in the audience said, "Well thank you very much for the thumbs up, Katsuki."
"Not now," Bakugo replied.
"The only last major threat is the group of villains consisting of a lot of Shigaraki's fellows from the League of Villains," Sekijiro said, "Although a few choice individuals outside of the original League is also part."
"Which is why all of us are heading to Gym Gamma," Hizashi said, "Believe it or not, all members of that villain group were captured, fitted with quirk-suppressing cuffs, locked down to chairs, and are being kept in Gym Gamma as we wait for truck from Tartarus to come on by to collect them." This drew a surprised look out of all of the first year hero course students.
"There will come times in your pro hero careers where you have to guard a detained villain while waiting for the authorities to show up to collect them," Aizawa explained, "Although I'd rather you all do some manner of simulation for training rather than get real-life experience, as the simulation would be a far safer way to learn what all we want you to learn."
"I have to agree with my alternative self on screen right now," Aizawa in the audience said, "Both with how there will be points they'll have to guard detained villains waiting for transport over to Tartarus, and with how I'd rather they do a safe simulation for training rather than do something similar but for real."
"And it's not just your students," Sekijiro said, "My students are there as well."
"Wait a minute," Jurota said, "There's a chance we'll meet Dabi too?"
Eventually, everyone got to the doors leading into Gym Gamma and walked right on in. To the surprise of the first year hero course students, they saw Dabi, Spinner, Toga, Mr. Compress, Rappa, Gentle Criminal, La Brava and Skeptic all secured in Gym Gamma. Spotting Todoroki among the students, Dabi said in a self-amused and mildly sing song tone, "Surprise."
"Wait a minute," Tenya said. Turning to look at Todoroki, Tenya asked, "Do you know that villain, Todoroki?" Turning to look at Dabi, the class rep of 1-A said, "Who even are you?"
"Oh, I go by many names," Dabi said as he sounded a little amused, "Dabi, Dabi on the haters, A pimp named Dabi, The artist formerly known as Dabi." Jerking his head in Todoroki's direction, Dabi went on, "But as Shoto here can tell you, there's another name I go by. Toya."
"...Yeah, this is my older brother Toya, everyone," Todoroki said.
"Wait, we're meeting him this early into the episode?" Itsuka in the audience remarked in a confused tone.
"Maybe there's a reason for it," Setsuna offered.
"I actually kind of like all of the names I gave myself here apparently," Dabi said, "I especially like Dabi on the haters."
...
With the villains secured, Aizawa and Sekijiro had to trust Hizashi alone in supervising the students in watching the villains due to the sheer lack of available staff due to how nine UA teachers were all killed recently in Gigantomachia's rampage in the red light district. "So, what is it that you all are up to now?" Todoroki asked his villain older brother suspiciously.
"Well ultimately, our goal is to carry out what we believe aligns with the will of Stain," Dabi said.
"Wait a minute," Nirengeki said, "I thought that your argonian ally here with the purple hair is the only Stain fan in your group."
"I'm not an argonian," Spinner said, "My quirk just makes me look like this."
"The fuck is an argonian?" Spinner in the audience asked, looking very much confused.
"And why did I think that Spinner is one?" Nirengeki added.
"Huh," Stain remarked, "And here I was under the impression that I lacked those would would see themselves as my disciples."
"No, Spinner isn't the only one among us who holds Stain in high regard," Dabi explained, "But he is the most prominent about it. But yeah, our group's ultimate goal is to carry out the will of the Hero Killer, or at least what we know about his quest since he got arrested because dad had to be a little pussy bitch."
"To achieve that end," Spinner began, "We are currently working on two immediate goals that both tie into and help support the ultimate goal."
"What are your two immediate goals?" Itsuka asked.
"Come on killing All Might," Shigaraki in the audience said, "Let's one of their goals being the killing of All Might!"
"Given that Stain actually has a lot of respect for All Might," Spinner began to point out, "And that us here in this realm are intent on carrying out Stain's will, I'm pretty sure we aren't going to want to kill All Might."
Pointing to Spinner, Stain said, "He's right. I'd probably kill a few of those guys if I did hear word of them killing All Might." Toshinori, for his part, was a bit surprised that villains held him in such respect.
"Well our first immediate goal is the growing, cultivating and selling of marijuana," Skeptic explained, "But we're doing it solely because it's a source of income for us."
"We even have business cards," Rappa pointed out, "Toga's got a few in the one pocket on the front of her cardigan." Curious, Izuku and Uraraka went over and checked Toga, with Izuku removing a few copies of the same business card that featured a silly looking green cartoon dragon wearing a Jamaica flag hat that was part bong.
"...The Crazy Cannabis Company?" Izuku said aloud in a confused tone as he was reading the business card, "Where our motto is 'Smoke weed everyday'?"
"We're selling pot to raise funds?" Skeptic in the audience said in a confused tone as he gestured to the big theater screen.
"The little cartoon dragon on the business card is both funny and cute," Toga remarked.
Shrugging, Aizawa said, "Well at least they aren't violently robbing places for money."
"And what is that little lizard thing supposed to be?" Uraraka asked, looking at the cartoon dragon on the business card.
"Oh, that would be Marleyzard," Dabi explained, "It's the mascot of The Crazy Cannabis Company."
Shaking her head to clear some confusion in her mind, Itsuka said, "Whatever. Anyway, what is the second immediate goal of your group?"
"Our second immediate goal," La Brava began, her eyes narrowing to show how serious she's being about what she's talking about, "Is to kill a specific UA high school student." This got a lot of the first year hero course students to back up out of alarm.
"Well I wouldn't blame them," Aizawa in the audience said, "She just said that she and the other villains aim to kill one of them, or potentially some random other UA student."
"Yeah, but who do I, Gentle and the others want to kill?" La Brava asked, looking confused.
Shrugging, Spinner said, "I guess we'll find out."
Nodding in agreement, Toga explained, "Yes. In order for our group to carry out the ultimate goal of fulfilling Stainy-kun's will, we must kill UA student Minoru Mineta!"
"YOU GUYS WANT TO KILL ME?!" Mineta exclaimed, looking very much scared.
"Wait, why do you want to kill Mineta?" Mina asked, "Granted, given how much of a pervert he is I can't exactly blame you, but how does killing him tie into fulfilling the Hero Killer's will?"
"He's even been on his best behavior as of late," Izuku pointed out, "I really don't see how killing him will help you guys at all."
"Our goals are beyond your understanding," Mr. Compress remarked.
"On the one hand," Aizawa in the audience began, "Midoriya has a point on how Mineta has been on a streak of good behavior as of late in this realm. But on the other hand, there's no denying Mineta's actions prior to the beginning of this realm."
Leaning back in his seat, Shigaraki said, "So they're going to kill a kid whose brain is part dick. Alright, at least they're going to kill someone."
"It's bad enough that I die in every realm in the show that has alternate versions of the girls," Mineta complained, "But now there's a chance that I could die here?"
"Hoo boy, I hope not," Tale remarked dryly.
...
As the first year hero course students continued to guard the villains, Dabi got Todoroki's attention. "Hey, lil' bro, quick question."
Todoroki gave a wry look before he spoke. "...What is it, Toya?"
"I just wanted to ask how's life treating you," Dabi replied, "Take an interest in what all you get up to and whatnot. Oh, and I'm just asking about your personal life, nothing about anything that your teachers want to keep hush-hush."
"So he's taking an interest in his little brother's life, same as Fuyumi or Natsuo would," Hizashi in the audience remarked.
Shrugging, Dabi replied, "Well why can't I take an interest?"
"Because you're a villain?" Nemuri retorted dryly.
"Dude, I'm his older brother," Dabi defended, "I don't see anyone denying you the chance to ask how your students are doing despite how you look like you moonlight as a prostitute."
"At least someone here agrees with my alternative self in this realm," Dark Shadow said.
"...Well, there is this one girl in my year of the hero course that I'm in love with," Todoroki began, "Although knowing her classmate Monoma, he'd throw a fit and try to keep me away for the sole reason that I'm in 1-A and he plus my crush are both in 1-B."
"Ah ha ha, my little bro's noticing girls now!" Dabi laughed in a sincerely amused tone.
"Todoroki in this realm has a crush on a class 1-B girl?" Izuku in the audience remarked in a surprised tone.
Shrugging, Sekijiro said, "Unlike with Monoma, I would have no problem with it. In fact I think it would be cute." The girls in class 1-B all turned to lookat their homeroom teacher and shoot him some surprised looks.
"Hey, you have a crush on one of the girls in my class?" Yosetsu said to Todoroki in a curious tone, having heard what he said, "Well who is it?"
"Regardless," Monoma began, "There is no way a class 1-A Neanderthal like him should ever be allowed to-" Monoma was interrupted with a chop to the back of his head from Itsuka.
Looking to Todoroki, Itsuka said, "Sorry about that, Todoroki. Now please, as you were."
Nodding in thanks, Todoroki said, "Yeah, as I was saying, I...I'm in love with Reiko."
"Wait, you mean Ghost Girl?" Bakugo exclaimed in a surprised tone, causing the girl in question to go wide eyed with shocked surprise.
"Reiko?!" most of 1-B in the audience said in surprised unison.
Nodding, Reiko said, "Yeah, I'm surprised that he'd ever be in love with me."
Giving Reiko a quick look, Dabi said, "...Yeah, I think you'd be good for my lil' bro. I can see it work out quite well, actually."
"Ah, I see," Dabi remarked to Todoroki, "Well as your older brother, allow me to offer some advice to you that could help you win her over."
Giving his villain older brother a wry look, Todoroki said, "...Alright."
"Number one," Dabi began, "Remember what all bullshit dad did to mom? Yeah, do the complete fucking opposite of it."
"You should also act opposite of the lewd nature of your classmate that we want to kill," Toga added, drawing a nod of agreement out of La Brava.
"...Well Mineta has been behaving himself as of late, but I do remember his behavior that you speak of," Todoroki said, acknowledging both the villain girls' point and making note of how his short classmate is actually behaving himself now, "Yeah, I won't be lewd like Mineta was. It'd never even cross my mind in the first place."
"Well at least they acknowledge that I'm not being bad here," Mineta in the audience remarked.
"But your past actions are still a sore spot for the girls," Sero pointed out, "It's probably why it's still brought up."
Nodding a bit, Tale said, "Even the most reprehensible persons can have some good. For instance, at the very least, Voldemort wasn't as bad as fucking Umbridge."
Turning to look at Tale, Kotaro said, "You know I'm surprised that there are some who hate her more than they hate the dark lord himself."
Nodding in approval, Dabi went on, "Number two, if you ever see that she's a little on edge, offer to help her relax."
"The supply that is offered by The Crazy Cannabis Company is very helpful in this regard," Skeptic offered.
Turning to look at Skeptic, Itsuka said, "Wait, are you suggesting that Todoroki should offer Reiko to get her high on pot if he sees that she's stressed?"
"Oh, you'd be very surprised who's on our list of regular customers that we already have," Gentle Criminal remarked, "There's a handwritten copy in the mini notepad in Dabi's coat pocket." Curious, Itsuka went over and checked Dabi's pockets in his coat, eventually finding a mini notepad and taking it out.
"Oh boy, this ought to be good," Aizawa in the audience said dryly.
Opening the mini pad, Itsuka began reading it aloud. "Mitsuki Bakugo, Kyotoku Jiro, Hizashi Yamada?!" Turning to look at Hizashi, Itsuka said, "Hizashi-sensei, what the hell?! You buy pot from the villains?!"
"Hey, they're the best suppliers of pot in Japan," Hizashi defended, "And after finding out that I'm now out by three-quarters of a million yen, I need something to help take the edge off."
"And of course my mom's first reaction to finding some of the villains who kidnapped me from that training camp is to buy pot from them," Bakugo remarked dryly, his arms folded over his chest as he rolled his eyes.
"I would NEVER buy pot from villains," Mitsuki in the audience said, "Especially from villains who had kidnapped my son!"
Huffing in a bemused tone, Gentle Criminal said, "But you are willing to blame your son getting kidnapped by villains on your son himself."
"I wonder what Sensei would say about the matter if he were here," Shigaraki wondered aloud.
Looking at the list, Itsuka said, "Well this would be good evidence, although it'd get a number of parents plus at least one teacher in trouble."
"Which is why I believe we should leave some honest entrepreneurs alone," Hizashi said as he walked up to Itsuka, take the notepad from her and put it back into Dabi's coat pocket that it'd been taken from.
Itsuka would have objected, but she was cut off when, at that moment, Fuyumi and Natsuo entered Gym Gamma, being followed by Mitsuki and Kyotoku. "I heard what happened!" Natsuo declared as he and his group entered the gym, "Is Toya really here?!"
"Hey, past folks who showed up already are making a reappearance!" Yaoyorozu in the audience said asshe pointed to the big theater screen.
"Come on Tsuyu's little brother," Mina said, "Let's see Tsuyu's little brother again!"
"MOM!" Bakugo yelled angrily at Mitsuki, "These are some of the villains who kidnapped me, and I just learned that you buy pot from them!"
"Yeah dad, I kind of have to question you buying pot from villains as well," Kyoka said to Kyotoku.
Giving his daughter a serious look, Kyotoku explained, "Kyoka, sweetie, daddy has a very good reason for buying pot from villains, aside from the fact that they're the best suppliers of pot in Japan."
"My dad has a good reason for buying pot from villains," Kyoka in the audience said dryly, "Oh, this ought to be good."
"Maybe they aren't so bad in this realm after all," Toshinori remarked, "Drug dealing aside."
"Oh yeah, Toya told me about it," Natsuo said, "Apparently, one of the side things that Toya and his group were raising funds for was to buy a replacement instrument for a kid whose original was broken."
"My music store just so happens to carry what they were looking to get, so I made a donation," Kyotoku explained, "And now the kid can play again. In fact, why doesn't he put on a show for you kids right now?" Mitsuki at that point left Gym Gamma but came back in moments later, leading along Samidare who was carrying a cello case.
"Eeeeeeeeee!" Hagakure squealed in excitement, "It's Tsuyu's adorable little brother again!"
"Oh yeah, Satsuki broke Samidare's old cello," Tsuyu remarked dryly.
"Eeeeeeeee!" Mina in the audience squealed, "Tsuyu's little brother did come back!"
"And he's apparently going to put on a cello performance for us," Kyoka said in an interested tone.
Samidare took a bit of time to set up, but soon he was ready and proceeded to play the cello. Every first year hero course girl was automatically distracted by the young boy playing music, and the boys all soon turned to look as well. Even Fuyumi and Natsuo were giving Samidare their full attention, with Fuyumi gushing over how cute Samidare is.
After a few minutes, Samidare had finished playing, with all of the girls cheering for him. "Hey, he was pretty awesome," Kyoka remarked.
"Well Samidare is something of a prodigy kero," Tsuyu said, "And it was surprisingly nice, not to mention surprising at all, that villains of all people wanted to raise money to buy Samidare a new cello since Satsuki broke his old one."
"And of course the brat's a brat towards her older brother," Dark Shadow in the audience said as he gestured to the big theater screen.
Gently shaking his head, Tokoyami said, "I hope she's not like that towards Samidare for real."
"Hey, we ought to at least thank the villains for their sincere gesture to Samidare," Yaoyorozu said. Turning around to face the villains, Yaoyorozu said, "If anything, you guys were-" The wealthy girl stopped short when she saw that all eight of the villains were gone, their quirk suppressing gear all unlocked and laying on the floor.
All forty of the first year hero course students turned to look at the scene with panic, as did Fuyumi. While all of them were freaking out, they all failed to notice it when Hizashi, Kyotoku, Mitsuki and Natsuo all looked like they were putting things in their pockets. "Oh no," Natsuo said, the knowing hint in his tone going unnoticed, "Toya and his group all escaped while all of us were listening to and watching the kid play."
In the audience, while a lot of the villains were all laughing their asses off, most of the heroes as well as a few others all turned to look at Hizashi and Mitsuki suspiciously. "Hizashi, did you really just assist detained villains in escaping?!" Aizawa scolded.
"Mom what the fuck?!" Bakugo snapped.
"Hoo boy, I hope that Samidare wasn't in on it and he was being used without being aware of what was going on," Mina said, "Although given how adorable he is I think we can forgive him if he was in on it."
...
The following afternoon, Hizashi was in an alleyway as he spoke to Dabi. The villain handed over a plastic baggy of quality kush as Hizashi paid a reasonable amount for it. "Well shit," Dabi said, "It sucks that me and the others escaping while you, that ashy-haired woman, that man with the long hair and Natsuo had used that unknowing kid to distract Shoto and all of his schoolmates got him and all of his schoolmates detention for a month."
"Oh yeah," Hizashi replied in an agreeing tone as he pocketed his purchased pot, "Both Shouta and Sekijiro were fit to expel the whole lot over the incident, but luckily Nezu told them off and also revoked that authority from them to save off any future trouble."
"ALL FORTY OF US WERE ALMOST EXPELLED BECAUSE MY MOM HELPED VILLAINS ESCAPE FROM OUR CUSTODY?!" Bakugo in the audience exclaimed angrily.
"Well at least I confirmed that the kid had no idea what he was being used for," Dabi offered.
Mina let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness that Samidare truly was innocent."
"I'm more concerned about how Hizashi, Mrs. Bakugo, Mr. Jiro and Todoroki's non-villain older brother helped Todoroki's villain older brother and those other seven all escape custody," Aizawa stated, "Hell, if that happened for real, it would be a total shit-show if word of it got out!"
As Hizashi turned to leave, Dabi stopped him. "...You think that you can secretly pass along an apology from me to Shoto?" Dabi asked, looking and sounding genuinely apologetic for his part in getting his youngest sibling in trouble.
Offering a smile, Hizashi said, "No problemo, my dude." The two then nodded to one another in acknowledgement before they turned around to part ways.
FIN
"...If my dad ever really did for real participate in a stunt that freed detained villains and almost got me expelled," Kyoka said, her words dripping with angry venom, "I would NEVER forgive him."
"And now there are loose villains in this realm," Mineta complained, "Selling pot and plotting to kill me!"
Looking on at the big theater screen, Kotaro said, "...You know, I can't help but feel that this episode is prophetic in some way."
Shrugging, Tale retorted dryly, "I have no idea what you mean."
END OF CHAPTER
Author's notes;
Well this was the Dabi chapter. It went on for a while, and there was some content that I had to cut from it. However, that content may appear in my planned story starring some of the villains, mainly Dabi, Spinner and Toga. Anyway, I plan to do Beru next then Endeavor, since having two of Todoroki's relatives in a row doesn't cut it for me.
Also, shout out to charming55 for correctly guessing in his comment on the previous chapter that this chapter would have Dabi aka Toya. As for his request, I might be able to fit in a mention to those heroes in the Endeavor chapter.
