A Flux of Emerald Lightning

Disclaimer: Update! I also do not own Kamen Rider Build or Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Lightz: Hope this is more to your liking, Eddie. I'm not getting rid of the gemstone/color descriptions of certain characters; Izuku will always be the emerald protagonist whenever I don't want to write his name. But, let's seek out another means of proving the worth of the position Class President has so it holds some real weight in this school; you know, unlike the LAST time you and miss Danielle said didn't matter(the original amazing Deku).

Chapter 6.1: USJ Prep

Three o'clock over at UA High; while a large group of students is going off for their homes, Momo Yaoyorozu has different plans. Here, the vice-president of Class 1-A and the boy who is her superior discover the other two from Class 1-B inside a room waiting for them. The two take their seat, getting a good look at their comparisons.

First is the girl with orange hair wrapped up on the left side of her head to generate a ponytail. She possesses teal eyes that reflect kindness and a colorful face with a smile that's far more inviting than one would expect. The person next to this student with spessartite garnet hair is also a girl, with lush green hair that reaches down to her shoulders that is more akin to a forest than Izuku's bush.

"Thank you for calling this meeting," speaks the girl with the ponytail on the side. "It'd be nice to finally meet our rivals."

Heads tilt. "Just kidding. I'm not that shallow."

Yaoyorozu sighs at her response before speaking, "Right, of course."

"I'm Itsuka Kendo."

"Momo Yaoyorozu." The two girls bow to each other.

The green girl glances over at Izuku, who stiffens up at her intense serpentine stare and reptilian grin. She extends a hand to him. "The name's Setsuna Tokage. And you?"

"Mikumo… dang, it." He takes in a breath to regain control of his senses, before reaching his hand out to grasp and shake hers. "Izuku Midoriya."

Mid-shake, her hand pops right off. Eyes on it, the screaming soon commences after a quick beat. First is Izuku. "AH!"

Then comes Tokage: "KYA!"

Yaoyorozu jumps out of her seat, taken back by the reality before her. Kendo simply places a hand to her face and rests her head as Tokage continues. "How could you?! My hand!"

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-" As he apologizes, her hand breaks free and floats in the air. It gives a wave.

"Just kidding!" Her arm reattaches back in place as if nothing happened to it at all. "Sorry about that; you were just so nervous, I needed to break the ice."

Yaoyorozu places a hand to her mouth with shame, mostly in herself. She should have known that was a part of her Quirk. It's embarrassing to think about now.

"Whoa…" Izuku eyes her arm, that face of intrigue and discovery erupting full force. "So your Quirk allows you to remove your body parts! Is it just limbs or can your entire body split apart?! How far can they fly?!"

"You really shouldn't ask a woman about splitting." Perplexity on his face denotes that he completely missed what she was getting at. Still, she grins as she speaks, "At that, it's impressive that you're so interested in my Quirk."

"It's a hobby of mine, Quirk cataloging," he tells her, a pen and notepad pulled out from behind his back. "I see a Quirk I've never seen before, I just can't help but want to know all about it. Its strengths, its weaknesses, how it can be used against another Quirk; all of that!"

"Oh? So then, you must have a lot of notes on what you've already seen."

"Tons!"

As the two viridian teenagers talk, the other two remain watching them in steep confusion. The ruby vice-president sighs, noticing he's already gotten over his earlier nervousness from the lizard girl's icebreaker. Now they're giving them the cold shoulder, which is not cool.

"Ahem." Fake throat-clearing stops them from continuing their talk, causing the two to face the other two. Now a tomato head, Izuku takes his seat and puts away his notes. Setsuna sits down as well, parallel to him and Kendo, though she leans back in her chair on two legs.

Following him patting his face, Izuku turns to his cohort and says, "Sorry about that."

She in turns smirks before speaking her mind. "Anyway, now that introductions are out of the way, we can now get to the main topic of this meeting. Midoriya?"

"Right." Izuku takes out a second notepad. "After looking into the duties listed for the class representatives, we saw an opportunity to better our training growth. Due to UA's freestyle way of teaching, we also have some leeway in altering the training schedule. That is why we wanted to ask if you two would prefer this idea we have to share."

Kendo leans in with intense listening. "Uh-huh, and that is?"

"There's a major training event that follows after the Rescue Training coming up this Wednesday," Yaoyorozu says, following up after her president, "which is, Entertainment Lessons."

"Oh yeah, I've heard of that," speaks Setsuna, rocking back and forth in her seat. "Vlad King told us about it. As it goes, there are three types of heroes: Combat Heroes who specialize in fighting crime, Rescue Heroes who partake in stopping or preventing disasters, and Enterme Heroes who use their appeal to support society in certain ways."

Yaoyorozu nods. "Our teacher doesn't plan on having us do this training, but we feel like it could be important for us, so we had an idea that could benefit both of us; we participate in the training together."

Heads rise at this suggestion. Kendo turns to her partner and back before asking, "As in both of our classes together?"

"Of course!" Izuku speaks exuberantly here. "The teacher said it was pointless to him, but he doesn't mind if we piggyback off another class."

"Hmm… this sounds like fun. What do you think, Madame President?" Setsuna turns to Kendo, who remains deep in thought.

"Well, the competition could inspire us to do better…" Kendo muses out loud with a smile. "It'd also help stop everyone from hating on Class 1-A unreasonably."

"You said everyone, but you mean Monoma," her vice replies, "and he only hates one person from 1-A."

"Then it's settled?"

"It's settled. Classes 1-B and 1-A are going to compete in the Entertainment Lessons." She turns over to Setsuna, who gives back a nod. "Oh, also, we were hoping to have something else."

"Something else?" After a quick look to one another, the two from 1-A face their B counterparts with the male president asking, "What did you have in mind?"

"I'd prefer it if we could meet together like this more often. Maybe off campus if possible," she tells him.

"Off-campus?" he repeats.

Kendo raises a finger. "I've done a little looking into, and it turns out that for the last ten years of UA High's history, not a single class of the Hero Course met up with another. Well, except for last year."

"Yeah," Izuku says with a nod, "I believe that, considering an entire class got expelled last year."

That catches Yaoyorozu's attention. "Wait, expelled?"

"Oh, you didn't know?" Kendo goes on now. "There was a teacher that kicked out an entire class of hero course students for failing an assessment test. Now our predecessors are numbered 19."

Three heads turn to the spessartite-haired president in shock. "19?"

"Only 19. One of the students left halfway through the semester." She sighs. "I couldn't find out anything more…" With a shrug, class 1-B's representative extends a hand out to Yaoyorozu. "But, with all said, I guess we can finish this up. A pleasure to do business with you, Miss President."

"Oh, I'm the vice. Midoriya's the president," she replies, gesturing half-heartedly to the boy next to her.

"Oh! Sorry." Kendo corrects herself precariously before holding a hand out to Izuku.

"… it's not gonna scare me by melting, right?" Setsuna laughs.

After their handshake, Izuku pulls away the moment he notices green sparks forming from the brush up their hands have done. "Thanks for having this go over so well."

"Oh, not a problem. I think it's nice that two from our class can connect like this."

"Yeah!" says Setsuna loudly. "I was half-expecting this to turn into a disaster."

In a rather ironic twist, Yaoyorozu does agree. Having Midoriya instead of Shinso as her partner is a better experience; the former's nerdy intrigue is far better than the latter's righteous sarcasm. It's almost cute, but that's not important.

As the students get up to leave, Setsuna grins as she adjusts her school bag and takes out a piece of Kobe beef. "I guess your class made the right choice."

Yaoyorozu nods with pride. "Well, you can't go wrong with a student who got in on recommendations."

"Oho?" Yaoyorozu turns to the reptilian girl as she brags. She turns bubbly before saying, "I'm also a recommended student!"

"No kidding! Was your recommendation test physical?"

"Truthfully, it was academic. Todoroki got in through the physical."

"Physical?" Izuku asks this.

So Yaoyorozu answers him. "There are two ways of getting in on a recommendation scholarship: acing either the academic test or the physical test. The best two from each get to join UA High's hero course."

"Yeah! I almost didn't make it in, but turns out the guy ahead of me rejected at the last second. Lucky me!"

"Wait, he rejected? You mean he passed and just changed his mind? What could have caused that?"

"Who knows? I doubt we'll see him again, whoever he was."

The day comes to an end with the students all heading for their abodes. Yaoyorozu with all her belongings together walks down the hall to wait for her ride. But as she does, her class' representative follows after with a quick kick up.

Looking back at the boy, she asks, "Something wrong?"

"I was going to head home, but then I remembered something." Half of his expression turns solemn. "Remember when you mentioned that I was similar to Polaris?"

Oh, no. She did say that by mistake. It just came out when she compared the two, and yet he remembered. "Who is Polaris?"

Can she tell him why she said that? Well, it's not that big a deal if he knows. Plus, it'd be nice to converse with Midoriya; if they're going to be representatives they'll be spending a lot of time together. "Where do I begin?"

The two reach the front door and pass through outside. As they do, Izuku asks, "So, is he a hero or something? Because I've never heard of him."

"He's not a hero. He's a villain," she replies, surprising the boy. "Polaris was a notorious villain, who possesses similar if not identical electric powers to yours."

"How notorious? Was he that strong?" Queer. Yaoyorozu watches him deep in thought as they walk. Why is he so curious for someone who he has never heard about? And why has he not heard of him before?

Before her at the curb of the street of UA High, the rich girl's limousine awaits her. She enters the vehicle and sits on fine leather. "If you want, I can give you a ride home."

"Oh, thanks." She smiles as the teenager joins her inside with enthusiasm. And it drives off.

Various sits go by the window as the girl looks out, looking over occasionally to find the green teen reading something on his phone. It's rather quiet. Until… "Hey, Yaoyorozu…"

"Hmm?" Finally, a conversation.

"This weekend I'm doing some training with Mineta, Shinso, and Kaccha-er… Bakugo. Would you like to join us?"

"Oh? You…" She contemplates the decision, for a few seconds. "I'd be glad to join. But, will Mineta behave himself?"

"I can't force him to do what he doesn't," he replies, his smile wiggling nervously. "I can assure you that this is serious training, and I promised to help him so he doesn't get kicked out."

Well, that's interesting. Why go out of his way unless he owes him something? Is he that good a person? She kind of wants to see this progress. So with exuberance, she says, "I'd be delighted to."

"Great! Oh, here's my stop." Izuku unlocks the car and exits. "Thanks for the ride."

"No problem, Midoriya," she says with a smile. He then closes the door and races away. The limo drives off afterward, the vice-representative left in the back seat waiting for his fleeing form.

"He's cute," speaks her chauffeur as the woman makes a turn. Yaoyorozu turns bright red in response, glancing up at the rear-view window above to see the adult smirking at her.

"That's not what this is about!"

"Of course not." That's a rude tone to take, one of her numerous jokes.

Soon, the limousine comes to a stop right in front of her home. The front gate opens up, allowing the vehicle to drive down the bending road to reach the parking lot. Stepping out, Yaoyorozu heads inside her mansion of a home, passing through the doors into the luxurious interior to reach the dining hall.

"Not here again. Empty," she says before climbing the steps. Amidst her ascent, she stops to look at her phone. 'Maybe next time I'll ask him for his number. It'd be nice to have someone to talk to.' Such a thought promotes erubescence on her person in the form of a smile. 'And why stop there?! I can get the girls too!'

The teenager passes by a maid. "Good evening, Miss Yaoyorozu."

"Good evening," she says to her, making her way left of the hall. "I'll be in my room."

Passing by another maid, the young Yaoyorozu enters her bedroom before plopping down on the quilts. She turns on the flat screen.

"-coming to you with breaking news. Aldera Junior High just experienced a vicious shooting." Almost immediately, her attention is stricken as she listens to the anchorwoman. According to her, a man entered the school building just while classes were breaking for lunch, causing a murder with a body count of four dead and 16 injured.

"So horrible," she speaks, a hand up to her mouth as she watches.

"This is sickening," speaks a woman with cyan skin and lilac hair sitting on the screen. The caption shows her name as Chitose Kizuki, Executive Producer of Shoowaysha Publishing. "To think in this day and age school shootings can still go on, and so easily. Four people – three children and a teacher – all dead. And you know what the sad thing is?"

"What is?"

"All four of them had Quirks, Quirks which could have been capable of stopping this mad man who took his own life shortly after. Had one hero been there, this could have been avoided."

"Heroes can't be everywhere."

"That's the point though." Yaoyorozu changes the channel here. No need for that political nonsense.

Wednesday…

Over at UA on this dark, cloudy day, Izuku can be seen running up to the school's front gate. He checks up ahead and spots Mineta on the ground. Our purple pervert groans as he lies with his face to the dirt, catching the emerald protagonist's attention.

"Mineta?"

"Oh, Midoriya…" Mineta turns around to glance at Izuku. "I hate you."

"What for?"

"The training!" he shouts. "Who the hell runs with a tire strapped to their waist!? My legs wanna kill me with every little step I take! It's like that song!"

Obscure reference aside, Izuku scratches the side of his head with sheepish guilt. It is his fault after all. "Why didn't you tell me you didn't want to do it?"

"Like I could say no! I still need the training! Plus, I wanted to show off for Yaoyorozu…" He plops down smiling at that, with absolutely no regret.

"Have you been doing the running in the morning?" Mineta nods his head. Sighing, Izuku looks down at his friend. He shrugs before stretching his hand down, lifting the boy to be carried like a ball on his side. "Don't worry; some icy-hot will dull the pain."

"She's gonna see me differently if I look good."

"I doubt she's that kind of person," says the electric teen as he walks. "And, it's none of my business, but you shouldn't care about what's on the outside so much."

"But everyone only cares about what they see," is the purple boy's reply. "How many times do people piss at you for telling and not showing? Because they'd rather see something than hear it."

"That's not the same thing."

From afar, Aizawa watches with a half-smile as he enters the school building. He heads inside of his classroom for 1-A, where he finds something on the front desk. He picks up the note attached to it. "Wear this?"

…

Later at 12:30, the class comes together after eating. Aizawa stands before his homeroom class, saying, "Now for today's basic hero training; this will be a special one, so I expect your A-game."

"Special?"

Dryly, the erasing hero speaks, "To prepare you for disaster reliefs like fires, floods, and earthquakes, this training will be the Rescue Training I mentioned before."

"Oh, good!" Ojiro pats his desk with a grin. "Finally, a time to do what makes us heroes!"

"I'll fit in a flood scenario," says Asui in her usual tone.

Aizawa makes a red glare, his hair flaring up as he speaks: "Still talking." The students freeze up at their teacher's cold words. He then takes out a remote, deactivating his Quirk. One push is enough to unlock the cabinets holding their costume cases. "If you want to take your costumes that's fine. Some of your uniforms aren't suitable for this type of training. Also, the area is remote so we'll go by bus."

After dressing up for the job, the twenty students head out guided by their class representatives. Once the bus arrives, everyone slides inside as they head for their latest destination. Things slow down a bit so Sero begins Shiritori with his classmates or at least some of them.

"Monkey, so Y… Yak!" says Sero, turning back to Uraraka.

"K… Kingfisher," she says, gesturing to Izuku.

"Um… R…so, Rhino!" He turns to Yaoyorozu.

"Oryx," is her animal, plain and simple. All eyes are on Sero now.

"Oryx… wait, hold up!" He quickly realizes his folly. "No animal starts with X!"

"Then Midoriya should have said Rhinoceros." She closes her eyes with pride.

"My bad."

"Guess you're out," Uraraka chuckles at lasting longer than him.

Over in the back, Bakugo sits while staring out the window. He mutters, "What the hell is an oryx anyway?"

"It's a kind of antelope." The walking nuke's answer comes from Todoroki from the other end of the back.

"Hey! Who said you could eavesdrop on me!?"

"It's not eavesdropping if you say it that loud. You can't whisper."

"No, but you can mind your own business!"

"I'm starting to wonder why an attitude problem like yourself is still here." Murderous eyes lay upon the ice maker, who remains calm even here.

Shinso, seated right next to Ashido, chuckles before delivering his two cents. "Everyone has their quirks and annoying traits, but yours could very well land you a lawsuit. Be a shame for the most popular hero to get sued for yelling at the people he was rescuing."

"ALL OF YOU, SHU-" The coughing spell takes over here, and Jirou sitting next to him moves aside.

"He may not be that popular." This time, Asui speaks up. "He has a powerful Quirk, but so does Endeavor," Todoroki twitches here, "and not many enjoy him solely because of his personality."

"Neh," Shinso leans into the frog girl next to Izuku. "What's your opinion on me?"

Humming comes from her closed lips. "Your Quirk reminds me of All Might."

As the hairs on his head stand up, Shinso sits back in his seat with an otherwise unreadable expression. "Duly noted."

"But just that. Strength is important, but heroes need appeal, and that sarcasm of yours is unbecoming." Izuku nods after she finishes, agreeing with her analysis.

"Is it any worse than Kacchan's cathartic responses?"

"Don't call me that!"

"Or Todoroki's nihilism?"

"Don't get me involved."

"Nobody likes sarcasm," is her final reply.

Soon the bus arrives at their destination. Everyone steps out to what looks to be universal studios Japan edition. The students make their way up the steps and into the building.

Inside there are many types of areas in this location: a flood zone, a landslide zone, and a conflagration zone as well as even a collapsed building zone among others. Within the building stands a man in an astronaut suit. The former hero tells the class, "Welcome to USJ, the Unforeseen Simulation Joint," before gesturing to the other person.

"Hey look, it's the Space Hero Thirteen!" says Izuku, his excitement in plain view on his sleeve. Uraraka shakes with joy at seeing the spaceman.

"Before we begin, allow me to make a few points…" Thirteen begins. "As many of you are well aware I'm sure, my Quirk is called Black Hole. It sucks up and tears anything apart." Gravity girl nods rapidly. "But, while I use it to save people from disasters, you have to understand that my power could easily kill someone."

The classes remain silent at the serious tone being displayed. He continues: "I'm sure there are some of you who are aware that your abilities are enough to kill others; also, careless use of a Quirk can kill the user too. That is why we have laws restricting Quirks heavily. There are times where its fragility is brought up, but it's still a stable system; it just takes one wrong move for one uncontrollable person to take a life. And that's where we come to UA, and the tests you've taken before this.

"Aizawa's fitness test showed you the hidden potential of your Quirks and how you can use them differently. Valiant's battle training allowed you to experience the danger that your respective Quirks can pose to others. My training will show you a new perspective on your Quirks in how they can save lives, and by the end of the day realize that as heroes your powers can help more than hurt people. There are at least three different types of heroes, and if fighting villains isn't your forte, this could be it. That is why you are here, to learn how to be a hero

"That is all. Thank you for listening." The class clap as he finishes, agreeing with his reasoning.

"So beautiful! Truly a heroic speech," says Iida with his hands clasped together.

"He's always on isn't he?" Sato mutters, with Tokoyami nodding.

Kendo leans over to Izuku, asking, "Is he your problem child?"

"Not at all. He's just passionate."

Aizawa takes a look further in, narrowing his eyes. He approaches Thirteen asking, "Where is he?"

He whispers the answer, and the erasing hero nods with a sigh. "Let's go then." He stands before the twenty students. "Each of you will be divided into one of these separate locations. Your objectives will be demonstrated there."

Kei: So, the updated disclaimer...

Wanda: We just finished writing the skeleton, and Kamen Rider Zi-O is finally over. Bunch of women-hating assholes!

Kei: Whoa, slow your roll! Anyway, next chapter will have-

Julia: You say a lot of problems, but Monoma's attitude, the description of characters, and something that hasn't happened yet, were the only ones of importance. All of which is easily fixed.

Kei: ...Are you ladies done? Good. So next chapter-

Diana: Gang Orca judges the students on their rescuing.

Kei: FUCK! *leaves*
