A/N: Originally, this was going to be from Izuku's POV and show his fight against Bakugo. However, as I was writing, I realised there wasn't a point to showing that episode because you could just watch the episode and that wasn't what I wanted to do. My philosophy when writing anything is that I don't want to re-tread old ground, which is why I enjoy writing Ben 10 crossovers so much. There's so much untapped potential there that I want to present.
This is the official tenth chapter (not including the halloween special) and, as such, I want to do something special/try to make up for missing out on 4-5 months of uploadsing. So...
This chapter is 6,003 words long (not including the authors notes).
Enjoy
As we stood in the monitoring room, every second seemed to last an eternity.
Bakugo and Iida were on the third floor, with their bomb. The area was cluttered with building equipment and materials with the explosive device on the opposite side of the room to the door. There were six pillars in a dice formation on either side. Izuku and Uraraka were outside, looking at a floor plan of the building. They were clearly talking about something, but there was no audio and the camera was too far away to try and read their lips.
All Might placed a communication device over his ear and spoke into it. "Alright, let's begin the indoor combat training" he announced, catching the attention of both teams, "Team A and Team B, your time starts now!".
My teeth sunk into my lip. Despite having faith in my friend, Bakugo wouldn't hold back. For the first time, I couldn't do anything to help and it tore me apart to just stand there. "Ben, are you alright?" Ashido whispered to me, trying to avoid the ire of our teacher. I took a second and realised what I'd been doing. My fist had been clenched and my muscles were tensed. "I'm sorry" I whispered back to my partner "I'm just worried about my friend is all".
"Oh right, you two were classmates before UA, right?" the pink skinned girl asked, "Yeah, we basically grew up together".
"Will you two be quiet and pay attention" Jirou told us, with a glare directed at Ashido. "Right, sorry, we'll keep it down".
My eyes were drawn back to the screen as I watched what had progressed. Bakugo had gone after Izuku, whose mask had been blown off half way. "Sneak attacks Bakugo? What kind of man pulls cheap crap like that" Kirishima yelled at the screen, slamming his fist into the opposing palm. "It's a viable strategy, he's playing the part, acting like a true villain would" All Might replied, holding a notebook and pen. "It didn't work, Midoriya dodged him" Ashido cried.
They kept fighting until Izuku ran away and hid. I seemed to be working for a while. He was talking on his ear piece to Uraraka.
Once Bakugo had found him, the unimaginable happened. Raising his grenade shaped gauntlets into the air, Bakugo released a massive explosion that tore the walls apart. It was powerful enough to reach past two walls and breach to outside the building. We were all shocked by this move. Even I was surprised at the amount of fire power he had produced. "Son of a bitch!" I yelled, surprising everyone at my outburst.
Izuku was mostly unharmed, but his right sleeve was torn and his arm had clear burns, plus the rest of his mask had been destoryed. He had ended up in the room with the damaged wall, just below Uraraka, who had snuck off to find the bomb, and Iida. "Bakugo!" All Might said into the microphone, getting the blonde's attention. "Use that stored up power again and I'll stop this fight, your team will lose. To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting, that's a poor strategy, whether you're a hero or a villain. The penalty will be a massive loss of points" All Might announced.
Even through the camera, I could see Bakugo was pissed. He launched himself at Izuku. The green haired boy had been talking to Uraraka so much that he was caught by surprise. He went to attack the incoming blonde, but Bakugo flipped over him with an explosion and launched another into his back.
Everyone started talking about how skilled Bakugo was. I paid them no mind as I watched Bakugo start beating the crap out of my friend.
Izuku started running away to the other side of the room. He and Bakugo talked for a few seconds, before...
'Shit, he's going to use it!'.
Bakugo and Izuku launched themselves at each other, Izuku's arm glowing with One for All and Bakugo's hand with Explosion.
"Both of you, stop..."
I saw Izuku say something and realised what he was planning.
He wanted to end up here.
Right below Iida and Uraraka.
Within a meter of each other, Izuku threw his fist up into the air and destroyed every floor above him...
Creating enough debris for Uraraka to use as a weapon.
The bubbly girl was holding onto a pillar that, using her quirk, she used as a bat. Uraraka swung at the tiny stones and launched them at Iida with the air pressure.
This distracted the intelligent boy long enough for her to jump over his head and land on the weapon.
And just like that, it was over. They'd won.
Izuku looked like hell. His left arm had been used to shield his face from Bakugo's blast, which resulted in it becoming charred. His right wasn't much better, having been used to channel One for All, it was covered in a massive bruise that indicated it was broken. His partner wasn't much better, having exhausted herself in the fight, she proceeded to slump to the floor.
"He did it" I muttered as Izuku fell to the ground.
"The hero team... WINS"
As Izuku, Uraraka, Iida and Bakugo were taken to Recovery Girl to get checked over, the next two teams were annouced for their fight. All Might once again dipped his hand into the black and white box to retrieve the team letters.
The black "villain" box produced the letter C, while the white "hero" box had team E.
So, it was me and Ashido, vs Yaoyorozu and Jirou.
I looked over at the two cute girls. I didn't want to hurt either of them.
"Team E get ready while Team C prepares" All Might told us as we stood outside the second practise building. The two girls went inside with somber looks while Ashido and I leant against the railing.
"So, how are we going to handle this, partner?" Ashido asked, looking over the floor plan. I looked at my own copy for a moment, grasping my chin in thought. "They have the advantage. We don't know where it is and Jirou can hear us coming, plus Yaoyorozu's smart. Not to mention the fact they'll know if I transform before we reach them" I replied. "What about you, tell me about your quirk" I asked the pink skinned girl.
Mina looked at me for a second. She placed her hand on the railing between us and began melting it. "I can produce a type of acid from my body" she informed me and the railing melted in half. "Also how much and how strong" she continued, before demonstrating the same thing with her foot. "I'll have to get a sample once it's over" I commented.
Wait...
That sounded bad.
"You'll have to get a what?" Mina asked with a blush.
"I-I meant I'll have to get a sample of your quirk for a transformation" I quickly corrected.
"YOUR TIME STARTS NOW" All Might's voice yelled over the loud speaker.
"... crap"
Me and Mina slowly stepped into the building. I had my hand on the Omnitrix, ready to transform if either of them popped out at us. It was unlikely they'd just come after us, since neither was very good at combat, but I wasn't willing to rule anything out.
"Okay, I can't use any of my stronger transformations since it's so tight in here. Heatblast and Swampfire could set off the weapon so they're no-goes" I said as Ashido peaked around the corner. "Okay, so then that leaves Big Chill, XLR8, Echo-Echo and Spider-Monkey" Ashido finished as we progressed further inside the base.
I looked at her with wide eyes. "You did your research" I commented. Ashido's face lit up at what she had said, "well, I saw the one's you turned into before. Plus I've been a fan for a while" she told me as she rubbed the back of her head.
"It's fine. It's nice to have someone who already knows my transformations"
While we spoke about the plan, Jirou and Yaoyorozu were listening in on our conversation. Jirou was gritting her teeth at our conversation, a glare being sent into the wall.
Just like we planned.
Finding the room they were in was easy. I tried pushing the door open but it wouldn't budge.
"Looks like they've barricaded the door from the other side" I informed before touching the Omnitrix. "They probably plan to make me go Big Chill, to freeze the door. Or for you to burn it open" I told her.
Yaoyorozu had made a staff to defend herself, while Jirou had her amps plugged in. They were waiting for the moment the door opened.
Suddenly, sizzling started coming from the door. "Ashido must be burning through it" Yaoyorozu told her partner.
They waited until they could see us, before Jirou released her sonic sounds and forced us to cover our ears. The high-pitched ringing that penetrated our eardrums kept us in place while the two slowly approached us.
A flash of green occurred and my body was replaced with Echo-Echo.
I drew my head back for a second, before throwing it forward and releasing a low level sonic attack. It wasn't powerful enough to attack the weapon. Just enough to drown out the sounds and allow us some breathing room.
Using the opportunity, Ashido slid around the two girls and threw acid at them. They covered their faces, which allowed me to move.
I lunged out the way of Jirou's ongoing attack and transformed again. This time, I had become Spider-Monkey. My tail aimed towards them and started firing small web blasts at them.
It took them a second to get their bearings, but they quickly reacted. Yaoyorozu launch her staff at me that slammed into the middle of my head, making me letout a monkey-like scream.
Jirou repositioned herself and released her sonic waves again, this time aimed solely at Ashido. This caused her to once again throw her hands over her ears to protect herself.
Taking this opportunity, Yaoyorozu slowly came towards me with the capture-tape drawn. She slowly reached with it towards my prone form, when All Might's voice came over the loud speaker.
"The hero team wins!"
Yaoyorozu and Jirou looked at the loud speaker, before turning to each other and finally, the weapon.
Where they found an exact copy of me, my hand planted firmly against the fake bomb.
"How... When did you...?" Jirou began asking, too surprised to finish her sentence.
"You were so transfixed on us, you didn't notice what we were really doing" Ashido informed them.
"And you thought you knew about my powers from the info about my dad" I continued.
"But Ben can create a temporary clone of himself, using Echo-Echo" Ashido finished.
Me and my double turned back into Echo-Echo, before rejoining and once again turning back to my normal form.
I placed my hands on my knees and began panting hard.
"Looks like we won though...".
My consciousness slowly faded.
Transforming with two versions of myself was more than I could handle.
I was already out by the time I hit the floor.
I woke up in the sick room about an hour after everyone else had finished their combat training. Izuku still out in the bed next to mine, though his arms were bandaged.
"Oh good, you're up" a kind, elderly voice said from behind the curtain.
A short lady with grey hair in a bun and wearing a nurse outfit pulled back the curtain that hid the beds.
"Yeah, thanks granny Chiyo" I replied as I swung my legs over the side of the bed.
I suddenly felt something stab into my foot, causing pain to shoot through my leg. "How many times do I have to tell you, don't call me that!" the elderly lady yelled at me.
Chiyo Shuzenji, Recovery Girl. She'd been my nanny when I was five, but joined UA's faculty as their school nurse once I started middle school. It was the perfect job for her, since her quirk sped up the healing process.
"Sorry, Miss Shuzenji" I quickly corrected. My foot was in my hands as I massaged the wound. She let out a "hmph" before turning back to her computer.
I turned my attention back to Izuku as I looked over the remnants of his injuries. His arms were bandaged, and he had some minor scrapes. But other than that, he was fine. "Do you know him?" Recovery Girl asked, not turning from her work. My head shook up and down in confirmation, "yeah" I told her, "he's been my best friend for as long as I can remember".
"Well, take care of him. All Might's quirk is clearly too much for him, and he's hurting himself in order to impress his hero" she informed me.
I should have known something like this would happen. Izuku wanted to be the next number one hero, just like we all did. He wanted to be worthy of the quirk All Might had given him.
Even if it meant giving up that spot, I'd help him.
"You should go back to your class. They were worried about you" Recovery Girl stated. I started climbing out of the bed, "right, please let me know when he wakes up".
I slipped my blazer back on and started walking back to class. I started thinking about what had happened during the combat training. I'd definitely need to start training to make more copies of myself, but it wouldn't do much good since it wore me out to maintain one. I could also do with training some of my newer transformations.
Without realising it, my head went face first into the classroom door.
I let out a yell of pain while I rubbed the spot that had made contact. The door handle seemed impossible to grasp while I fumbled with it.
I gently opened the door to see everyone sitting around, chatting.
"Ben!" I heard a high-pitched chorus cry out.
I looked forward and realised that almost every girl in the class was charging towards me.
"What was that bang just now. You're not hurt right?".
"I didn't know you could make clones of yourself, that's super cool".
"I'm sorry, I hope my attacks didn't hurt you too bad".
"You were so awesome out there, partner!".
I was overwhelmed for a second, before coughing into my fist.
"I hit my head, don't worry, I'm fine. I can't do it too much or for too long. Don't worry about it. Thanks." I told the four girls that had grouped around me.
A moment later, there was another bang at the door.
We all turned to the entrance and saw Izuku had also walked into the door. He was still wearing his hero costume, both arms were bandaged, while his right was in a sling.
"Ow, that hurt" he muttered while he rubbed the red spot.
"Oh, hey man. You alright?" I asked.
Izuku walked over while still rubbing his head. "Yeah, I'm fine" he replied.
"Hey, it's Midoriya. Good to see ya back, super!" Kirishima called out as he walked over.
Everyone started crowding around the green haired teen. "I don't know what you were saying during that match, but you were all fired up, huh?" the red haired teen asked.
"I can't believe you held your own against Bakugo, he's super strong!" Sero complimented.
"You did a great job dodging!" Ashido told him.
"You guys really turned up in the first match, so none of us held back in our rounds either" Sato followed up.
A blonde guy tried to say something as well, but Ashido jumped infront of him and yelled out about his dodging again.
Izuku seemed overwhelmed by all the compliments, as everyone began introducing themselves.
"So noisy" Tokoyami stated while he sat against one of the desks.
"TOKOYAMI! STOP USING THAT DESK AS A CHAIR, GET OFF OF IT THIS INSTANT" Iida ordered.
"Dude, you need to chill" Jirou told him.
Iida was taken aback by her suggestion. "You're carrying a lot of tension" Ojiro stated.
Iida seemed to deflate at what they were saying. "No one understands." the bespectacled teen stated
"I CANNOT CONDONE ACTIONS THAT DISRESPECT THESE DESKS, NOT WHEN GREAT MEN AND WOMEN, OUR UPPERCLASSMEN ONCE USED THEM" he yelled out, kicking it into high gear again.
"Also noisy" Tokoyami stated.
The door at the other end of the room opened and two people carrying stacks of books walked in. "So, anyway, wanna grab a bite sometime, what kinda stuff you like?" Kaminari asked Uraraka. "Mmm, anything sweet... Hey Deku!" the brunette girl stated, before running over to the boy.
She got close before seeing his arm was still in a sling. "Why didn't she heal your injuries" she asked. "Oh, well it had to do with how much stamina I'm using" the green haired boy replied.
"Stamina?" Uraraka asked, though Izuku's attention was drawn to something else.
"Um, Uraraka. Where's Kacchan?" he asked, staring at the empty desk.
"We tried to stop him from leaving, but he wouldn't listen. You just missed him" she replied, before Izuku took off. I wanted to go after him, but this was something he needed to do on his own.
Doesn't mean I can't spy on them though.
Once Izuku was out of sight, I followed after him. He reached Bakugo at the front gates pretty quickly, given his injuries. They began talking about what had been said during the combat training, though I just kept my mouth shut the whole time.
"THERE YOU ARE!" a loud voice called out.
"BAKUGO, I FOUND YOU!" All Might suddenly cried out as he sped past us and placed his hands on Bakugo's shoulders.
"Just so you know, pride is a useful attribute to have. But while you certainly have the abilities to become a pro-hero, there's plenty you have to learn" he began.
"Let go of me All Might. Right now".
Bakugo interrupted the number one hero in the middle of his speech, before turning the muscular man with a glare. "Save your speeches. I'll be more famous than you, and I'll do it without your help" Bakugo told him.
All Might recoiled slightly at his look and words, before stammering slightly.
Bakugo used the opportunity to walk away and I walked over to my uncle and best friend. "Well, at least he didn't punch you" I stated while rubbing the back of my head.
Izuku and I had gone to my place that night. I had gotten a copy of the new pro-hero fighting game and we wanted to give it a try. Mom had made us both burgers and fries for dinner before Izuku had to head home.
The next day, outside the school gates, were surrounded by the worst villains of all.
The press.
Every news outlet in the area was trying to get an interview, or at least some words on having All Might as a teacher.
Some of us, like Iida, were more than happy to provide them with what they wanted.
Izuku and Uraraka, among others, were overwhelmed by the attention and had just stuttered their way through the whole thing.
Meanwhile, Bakugo and I just blew them off and ignored their prying words.
At least we had something in common.
Once class had begun, Mr Aizawa began to speak to us. "Decent work on yesterday's combat training you guys. I saw the video feeds and went over each of you results. Bakugo, you're talented. So don't sulk like a child about your loss, okay" he stated.
"Yeah, whatever" the blonde simply stated.
"Midoriya, I see the only way you won the match was by messing up your arm again. Work harder, and don't give me the excuse that you don't have control over your quirk. That lines already getting old. You can't keep breaking your body while training here..." the teacher told him, causing Izuku to bury his face into his hands. "But your quirk will be really useful if you can get a handle on it. So show a little urgency, huh?" he continued.
"Right!" Izuku replied with a determined look on his face.
"Tennyson, you used a move that KO'd you afterwards. It won you the match, but you couldn't use it for very long. You shouldn't rely on that too much, but it could be useful" Mr Aizawa told me.
"Yes sir!"
With that out of the way, Mr Aizawa turned to the rest of the class. "Lets get down to business.. Our first task will decide your future" he annouced.
'Is it another quirk assessment test?' everyone thought, simultaneously.
"You all need to pick a class representative".
A relieved look washed over everyone's faces, 'oh good, just normal school stuff'.
Everything devolved into pandemonium after that.
"Pick me guys, I wanna be class rep!".
"I'll take it".
"Yeah, you're gonna need me".
"Someone with style would be best".
"No, I'm totally the right pick".
"Hey, you want the best don't you. Then I'm the only choice!"
"Silence, everyone. Please" Iida yelled out, gaining everyone's attention.
"A class representative's duty is to lead others. That's not something just anyone can do. You must first have the trust of every student in the classroom. Therefore, the most logical way to fill this position is democratically. We will hold an election to choose a leader" Iida stated, though...
His hand was also raised.
Personally, I didn't want the job. I wasn't a good leader, which meant I'd fail miserably and whoever was deputy would have to pick up the slack.
And I knew exactly who to pick.
"Is this really the best idea?" Kaminari asked.
"We've only known each other a few days, how do we know who we can trust?" Asui continued.
"Besides, everyone will just vote for themselves" Kirishima added.
Iida's hand came down as he explained his thought process. "Most people will, but that means whoever does have multiple votes must truly be the most suitable person for the job. It's the best way, right sir?" he asked our homeroom teacher.
"Do whatever you want, just decide before my nap's over" Mr Aizawa replied, already inside his sleeping bag.
It took about five minutes for everyone to collect the votes, and the end result looked something like this:
Me – 5
Izuku – 3
Yaoyorozu – 2
Iida – 1
Everyone else either had one or zero.
"How did I get three votes?!" Izuku asked.
"How did I get four?" I muttered, before looking to the girls in our class, who were all avoiding eye contact with my side of the room.
"Okay you idiots. Who voted for 'em?".
"What, did you honestly think anyone was going to vote for you?".
"One vote? I feared this might happen, but I can't argue with the system I chose" Iida muttered.
"So you voted for someone else too, huh?" Yaoyorozu asked the bespectacled teen.
"One votes better than nothing, though what were you trying to prove here Iida?" Sato asked him too.
Izuku and I were brought to of the classroom. "Alright , the student rep is Tennyson and our deputy is Midoriya" Mr Aizawa annouced. Izuku was shaking like a maraca and I could already tell this was going to go horribly.
"Really? It's not a mistake?" Izuku asked.
Everyone was positive about the choices.
Everyone, except for me.
After class, we headed into the cafeteria for lunch. I had gotten a bowl of chicken katsu curry and decided to sit with Izuku, Uraraka and Iida for the day.
"It's always so crowded in here" Uraraka complained.
Iida then went on to explain that all the cafeteria was shared by every student on campus, not just the Hero course.
I had to bite my tongue from making a smart-ass remark at his blatant exposition.
"Guys, I'm kinda worried about the class rep thing. I don't think I'm qualified" he stated.
"Of course you aren't, you crumble like a house of cards when facing down presentation" I told him, not taking my eyes off my rice, "that's why I voted for Iida".
"Huh, you were the one vote?" the bespectacled teen asked me.
"Yeah, you'd take the job more seriously than I could and probably do better at it too" I replied.
After that, Uraraka managed to get Iida to tell them about his family. The Iida family were a long line of heroes. His brother was Ingenium, which was a lot to live up to.
"It's good to know there's someone here who understands what it's like. Let's get along Iida" I told him with a smile. Honestly, other than Todoroki, I hadn't expected anyone else to have hero relatives. It was nice to know there were others who got what it was like.
"Yes, I hope so as well" Iida replied.
Just as we were about to continue eating, an alarm began to sound above us. "WARNING. LEVEL 3 SECURITY BREACH" an automated voice called out over the intercom.
"What's a level 3 security breach?" Iida asked the upper class-man sitting next to him. "It means that someone has managed to get past the school's barrier. This hasn't happened in my three-years here. We should get going" he replied before taking off.
Everyone in the whole school took off into the corridors. This had the unfortunate effect of creating a sea of people that blocked everyone from leaving.
"Oww, this is a total mob" Uraraka complained once we'd been sucked into the corridor. "Everyone was quick to react, as I'd expect from UA students" Iida replied.
"Sure, but they're also causing a huge panic. Crap, I can't stop" Izuku countered, before being pulled away from us.
Iida managed to squeeze his way to the window and began peering through it to see who had set off the alarm. "Who in the world could have trespassed onto campus grounds" he asked, before seeing the swarm of people by the entrance.
"It's the press that was outside!".
"I was afraid it was some kind of attack on the school, but... THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY EVERYONE" he tried to call out, but someone shoved him against the window and prevented him from reaching everyone.
'Damnit, I need to do something!' I thought as I tried to fight the wave, but I couldn't reach the Omnitrix to transform.
Kirishima and Kaminari tried to get everyone to calm down, but they were just forced forwards like everyone else.
Iida used the small gap between the window and the people to shuffle his way towards Uraraka, where he reached his hand out to her. "I have an idea! Touch my hand, make me float above everyone else" he ordered.
The brunette girl tried to reach over to him and use her quirk, but there was a centimetre between them. Using the miniscule amount of space I had, I shoved my hand into Iida's back and forced him forward. His hand made contact with Uraraka's and he began to float above the ground.
It only took a second, but Iida blasted himself forward until he impacted with the wall above the exit. "LISTEN UP, EVERYTHING IS OKAY!" he yelled out to the crowd. "IT'S JUST THE MEDIA OUTSIDE, THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO WORRY ABOUT! EVERYTHING'S FINE! WE'RE UA STUDENTS, WE NEED TO REMAIN CALM AND PROVE THAT WE'RE THE BEST OF THE BEST" he continued, causing everyone to stop and stare at him.
The sounds of sirens could be heard outside as the media was taken away from UA.
Izuku and I shared a look, before nodding in confirmation.
"Okay, before we begin, we have an announcement to make" I told the class once lunch had ended, "we believe that Iida and Yaoyorozu should be the class reps instead of us".
"He was able to capture everyone's attention and get us in line, so I believe that he should be the one leading our class from now on" Izuku continued.
"Yeah, ya know what. If Midoriya vouches for him, I'm good. Plus he was a big help, he totally manned up and took charge, right?" Kirishima said.
"Yep, oh did you notice he looked like the dude on the emergency exit signs when he was on the wall earlier" Kaminari replied.
"This is a waste of time" Mr Aizawa stated "I don't care who the rep is, just hurry up".
"If Midoriya and Tennyson are nominating me for this job, then I humbly accept. I pledge to carry out the duties of class rep to the best of my abilities" Iida responded.
"Sounds good Emergency Exit" Kirshima replied.
The day after we'd chosen our student rep, we were sitting in our homeroom listening to Mr Aizawa explain our next lesson.
"Today's training will be a little different" Mr Aizawa informed us, "you'll have three instructors. Me, All Might and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you".
'Three teachers for one class, seems a bit excessive' I thought as Mr Aizawa continued.
"Sir, what kind of training is this" Sero asked with a raised hand.
Mr Aizawa held out a card that had one word in bright blue letters.
"Rescue".
He then went on to explain how the lesson would go, "you'll be dealing with disasters, ship wrecks, stuff like that".
Everyone seemed excited for the coming lesson. They started talking amongst themselves about their abilities and what we'd be doing.
"Guys, I'm not finished yet" Mr Aizawa told us, "what you wear in this exercise is up to you. I know you're excited about costumes".
With the press of a remote, the panels on the wall opened up and revealed the cases with our costumes inside, "but keep in mind you haven't gotten used to them yet and they might limit your abilities".
"This special training's on an off campus facility so we'll be taking a bus to get there. That's all, start getting ready" Mr Aizawa told us, before everyone got up to go and get changed.
'Finally, a chance to show off my rescue transformations' I thought as I grabbed the case with my number on it.
We were gathered just outside the school building. I was fixing my green jacket while we waited for the bus to arrive. "Hey Ben" Jirou called over to me, "I never got the chance to ask before, but why'd you go with normal clothes?".
"Honestly, I don't need anything flashy. My transformations are more the costume than my clothes" I replied.
"I like it. It suits you" Jirou replied with a blush.
The sound of a whistle going off alerted us to Iida's coming announcement. "Gather around class 1-A. Using your student numbers, form two neat lines so we can load the bus efficiently" he called out to us.
"Iida's kicking it into high gear as our class rep, huh?" Izuku stated.
"Is it to late to change my decision" I asked in reply.
Once we were on board the bus, Iida's plan completely crumbled. The front half had two rows of seats facing each other on either side, while the back half was like a normal bus.
I was sat next to Jirou as we began discussing different music that we liked. She'd given me some recommendations to listen to the last time we'd gone to karaoke, and I hadn't been able to get them out of my head since.
"Sure, but Bakugo's always angry so he'll never be that popular" Asui stated
"What did you say?! I'll kick your ass" Bakugo yelled at her.
"Leave her alone Bakugon" I told him. His face became scrunched up in anger at the childhood nickname I'd given him.
Once we'd arrived and had gotten off the bus, a pro-hero with a space suit for a body came to greet us.
"Hello everyone, I've been waiting for you" 13 greeted, "I can't wait to show you what's inside".
"This is gonna be awesome!" everyone yelled out.
The inside of the massive dome structure we'd arrived at had six different areas. A destroyed city, mountains, two smaller domes, one with flames painted on the outside and the other rain clouds, shipwreck and finally a fountain in the centre.
"Holy crap, it looks like some kind of amusement park!" Kirishima said in awe.
"A ship wreck, a landslide, a fire, a wind storm, etc. I created this training facility to prepare you for different types of disasters. I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. But you can call it USJ" 13 told us.
'Just like Universal Studios Japan' everyone thought.
"Hey shouldn't All Might be here already?" Mr Aizawa asked his fellow hero, "let me guess, he booked an interview instead".
"Actually it's something else" 13 replied, before holding up three fingers, "apparently he did too much hero work on the way to school this morning and used up all his power. He's resting in the teacher's lounge".
'Uncle Might must have used up too much of his power' I thought as the lesson began.
"That man is the height of irresponsibility. The clocks ticking, we should get started" Mr Aizawa stated.
"Excellent, before we begin let me just say one thing. Well, maybe two things... possibly three, four or five" 13 rambled with her arms out stretched.
"We get it!" everyone exclaimed.
"Listen carefully, I'm sure you're aware I have a powerful quirk. It's called Black Hole. I can use it to suck up anything and turn it into dust" 13 told us.
"Yeah, you've used Black Hole to save people from all kinds of disasters before, haven't you" Izuku replied as Uraraka's head bounced up and down.
"That's true. But my quirk could also very easily be used to kill. Some of you also have powers that can be dangerous. In our super human society all quirks are certified and stringently regulated, so we often overlook how they can actually be. Please don't forget that if you lose focus or make the wrong move, your powers can be deadly. Even if you're trying to do something virtuous like rescue someone" 13 told us. "Thanks to Aizawa's fitness tests, you have a solid idea of your quirks potential, and because of All Might's combat training, you likely experienced how dangerous your powers can be when used against other people. Carry those lessons over to this class, today you're going to learn how to use your quirks to save people's lives. You won't be using you powers to enemies or each other, only to help. After all, that's what being a hero is all about, ensuring the safety of others".
'She's better at this than I thought she'd be' I thought as the hero gave a bow to her audience.
"That's all I have to say. Thank you so much for listening" 13 finished.
Everyone began applauding and cheering at the rescue hero's words.
"Right, now that that's over..." Mr Aizawa began, before electricity began to circle the lights around the dome, completely turning them off.
The water from the fountain began to become sporadic, stopping every few seconds, only to start again.
That's when we saw it. A purple swirl of mist appeared, with two yellow lines for eyes. From within the mist reached a hand, that belonged to a blue haired man. He was wearing another severed appendage for a mask.
"Stay together and don't move!" Mr Aizawa ordered, the tone of his voice being completely different from what it had been.
"What are those things?" Kirishima asked, bringing our attention back to the swirling mist.
Several people started walking out of it. Kirishima seemed to think it was part of the training, but I knew differently.
They were villains. Easily fifty of them.
I didn't know why they were here, or what they wanted, but I wasn't going to let them do whatever they wanted.
My eyes widened at the two creatures that had just stepped out beside the blue haired man.
On his right was a large purple beast, with muscles that rivalled All Might. It's brain was hanging out and it had the face of a bird. The only clothing it wore were yellow pants.
The second made my breath stop, my heart race and anger to fill my mind.
The green, tentacle like skin that seemed to wind around into limbs. The bronze coloured armour.
The squid like face of the man who had killed my father.
"VILGAX".
A/N: I'm so sorry for the wait for this chapter. I'm not going to come up with any excuses, I just let it fall by the way side.
I've had a lot of reviews for this and I appreciate each and every one of them. I don't have any plans to become a full-time writer but I want to get better at what I enjoy doing.
(These are from most recent to earliest)
AnimeGoji91: Thanks for the continued support. It means a lot to know there are people out there who enjoy this
Omnisaurus (great name btw): I'm glad it was clear. I always worry when I do something like that, that it won't be clear and readers will think I'm just skipping large chunks. I always intended to resume the time line once halloween had passed.
Alphaprince0: Mei will be in the harem. I could only put so many words into the synopsis and at the time I wasn't sure if she was going to be in there. As for the Biomnitrix, I can't say. Spoilers and all that.
10 (I had to google translate this so, I apologise if it came out wrong): Estou feliz que você tenha gostado disso. Tem sido facilmente o meu favorito.
Guest (April 18): I understand. Personally, I don't like choosing between one romance or the other and I don't understand the stigma against harems.
Entimoid: Those are really good ideas. I've only just started watching Omniverse so I didn't who some of them were at first. A couple of those won't be a part of the story. For example Eatle and Weavil are just different versions of Upchuck, so I'll just have Upchuck (maybe) but Mineta won't be a part of this. He was annoying so Ben's taken his seat.
Ericsofly2: Thank you
Justinmil22: It's Julie
