Hey, guys! Here is the sixth chapter of Super World Chronicles! For the second and final part of the Hero Exams, the Union are in for a very challenging battle against their mentors. Hope you like it.
Chapter 6 - Hero Exams: Part Two
Heroes Office, Downtown Dallas, Dallas, Texas
It is right now nighttime as everyone hit their beds to get ready for the final part of the exams tomorrow.
The only ones up around likely 10:49 PM were Naruto and Izuku for some odd reason.
Ichigo, Alphen, Pan, Kiba, Akamaru, Law and Kaminari saw them as they came from the downstairs bathroom.
"What the heck are you guys still down here for? Let's get to bed." Kiba explained.
"Hey, guys…" Naruto said, in a low tone.
"Did you see… a ghost?" Izuku asked.
Ichigo, Alphen, Pan, Kiba, Akamaru, Law and Kaminari gulped.
"Y-You're messing with us. There's no ghost here." Kiba explained.
Akamaru whined.
"I-It's just your imagination…" Kaminari said, though his shaking legs say otherwise.
"Just your imagination…" Law said, shaking like a leaf.
"T-They're right, Naruto. Deku. Just your imagination." Alphen explained, shockingly shaking as much as Law.
"Y-You guys are right. It was just our imagination." Naruto and Izuku explained in unison.
Suddenly a footstep was heard behind Ichigo, Alphen, Pan, Kiba, Akamaru, Law and Kaminari, causing them along with Naruto and Izuku to scream.
Only that footstep belonged to Kirishima (with his hair down) and Inasa (without his hat).
"What are you guys doing? Go to bed." Kirishima explained.
"You bums! It's just Kirishima and Yoarashi!" Kaminari hollered, hitting Naruto on the head.
"Yeah. But they look different. It's like the ghost changed them!" Naruto hollered, noticing the differences of Kirishima and Inasa (before and after).
Ichigo, Alphen, Pan Kiba, Law and Kaminari laughed.
"That's what Kirishima looks like when he's not in his spiky hair!" Kaminari hollered.
"Is that is attempt to look taller?" Alphen asked.
"And I didn't think Inasa would be as bald as Ikkaku!" Ichigo hollered.
"This is hilarious!" Pan and Law hollered in unison.
"I'm not bald! Just shaved my head!" Inasa hollered, in his usual grin.
"You jerks make fun of my hair again, I'm gonna-" Kirishima explained, before a hand came on Kirishima's shoulders.
It revealed to be Shinso with a towel over his head. "Please keep it down. People are trying to sleep."
Shinso's attempt to calm everyone present only caused them to scream even louder and calling Shinso the ghost, much to Shinso's annoyance.
"ALL OF YOU, SHUT UP~!" Sakura yelled.

It was now morning, and everyone were having breakfast before getting ready for the exams at Ground Delta.
As for Naruto, Ichigo, Alphen, Pan, Izuku, Kiba, Akamaru, Law, Kirishima, Kaminari and Inasa, they got a deadly scolding from Sakura and Shionne, leaving with big bumps on their foreheads last night.
"Next time you idiots cause trouble in the night… don't!" Sakura hollered, making the 11 flinch.
"I didn't hear anything." Shoto said.
"You had earplugs, which by the way, you never wore back home." Shinso commented, having miraculously escaped the punishment.
Shoto shrugged.
"Oh, Todoroki-san!" Momo Yaoyorozu hollered.
"Yeah?" Shoto asked.
"You left some milk on your chin." Momo Yaoyorozu replied.
Shoto noticed some leftover whole milk left on his chin and attempted to use his napkin to wipe it off. But Momo Yaoyorozu was quicker, since she was sitting next to him at the table this time, and dabbled at his chin gently, getting rid of the milk, smiling as Shoto froze in shock with blushing cheeks.
"All better now." Momo Yaoyorozu said.
Shoto continued to be shocked, as did Naruto, Ichigo, Alphen, Pan, Izuku and Iida pretending to not have witnessed what they've saw. Sakura, Rukia, Kisara, Kyoka and Itsuka were giving the best shit-eating grins at seeing such a development.
XXX
It was now 10 AM, and everyone immediately gathered at Ground Delta, which changed the scenery to the Chunin Exams Finals Stage.
"Now this takes me back." Naruto said.
"It's like we're taking part in the actual Chunin Exams." Shikamaru said.
"Which I recall you forfeited your match, but became a chunin anyway." Ino commented.
"Don't bring that up." Shikamaru said, now annoyed.
"We should stay focused, extras." Bakugo said.
"Why's that?" Dohalim asked.
"Because we've got incoming." Bakugo replied.
True to the explosion user's word, a large fireball came flying straight towards the Union at high-speed.
Sasuke quickly drew his sword and charged it with electricity, slashing through the fireball in half easily.
"Nice one, Sasuke-kun." Sakura commented.
"And we can guess who shot that fireball." Naruto said.
"That's correct, Naruto." A voice commented.
The Union turned to the floor opening up with smoke coming out, clouding their vision for a while. Coming from the smoke were six figures.
The Union became surprised to see the people coming out of the smoke.
"You're kidding, right?" Naruto asked.
XXX
Appearing from the smoke were Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Tristan, All Might and Endeavor, in his muscular form.
(A/N: Here comes an epic battle!)
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Naruto, Ichigo, Alphen, Pan, Sakura, Ino, Kiba, Tenten, Rukia, Renji, Shionne, Rinwell, Law, Bakugo, Kirishima, Kyoka, Itsuka, Tetsutetsu and Inasa exclaimed in unison.
"You're all the last part?!" Iida exclaimed.
The rest became scarred with their souls popping out of their bodies like ghosts.
"Didn't think this was easy, right?" Kisuke asked.
"This will test your resolves." Gaara said.
"Look on the bright side, we'll only fight with 30% of our actual strength." Tristan explained.
"But if we went WAY too easy on you kids, then what's the point?" Endeavor asked.
"It's been a while since I tested against my own students. Time to see if you're all ready?" All Might asked.
"And be quick before we make the first move." Kakashi said.
Most of the Union were now totally unsure if they can take on mentors strong enough to be considered the best in their own worlds.
But the ones who refuse to flinch were the Acts of Hope.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it! Believe it!" Naruto hollered.
"I'm game too. No way I can pass an opportunity like this." Ichigo explained.
"I honestly feel nostalgia fighting Tristan again." Alphen said.
"E-Even if it's All Might… I can't back down!" Izuku hollered.
Everyone else began to feel at ease thanks to the confidence of the Acts of Hope.
XXX
Inside Naruto and Gaara, their respective Tailed Beasts Kurama and Shukaku, were having a conversation of their own.
"There's no way in hell Naruto and I would lose to you, dumb tanuki." Kurama said.
"As if Gaara and I will lose to you, you damn fox!" Shukaku hollered.
"Big words. I love to see you try." Kurama said, which angered the One-Tail.
XXX
"Let's do this, gang!" Naruto hollered.
"YEAH!" The Union shouted in unison.
Moving around fast, the Union began fighting using hit-and-run tactics against Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Tristan, All Might and Endeavor.
"Looks like they won't go down easy." Gaara commented.
"We better step our game a bit." All Might said.
Izuku realizes All Might is making his move.
"EVERYONE, WATCH OUT FOR ALL MIGHT!" Izuku shouted.
"Texas… SMASH!" All Might shouted.
All Might punched forward, shooting a powerful air blast at the Union head-on, quickly forcing them out of the way but left a large hole in the wall that the air blast struck.
Most of the Union were shocked.
"That was intense!" Law hollered.
"Don't lose focus!" Endeavor hollered.
Shoto widened his eyes as his father was preparing for something big.
"Endeavor's coming! Move!" Shoto hollered.
"Flashfire Fist - Jet Burn!" Endeavor shouted, shooting his left fist that shot out a powerful beam of fire full-throttle.
Everyone braced themselves, except nothing happened as all saw Alphen using his greatest weapon, the Blazing Sword to cancel the flame attack.
Though that can't be said that Alphen can still feel the intense burns the sword is giving off.
"That was too close!" Alphen thought.
"Impressive. But you better be careful when playing with fire." Endeavor commented.
"Don't you worry! I can take this all day!" Alphen hollered.
"Clever, old friend. But can you all dodge this!" Tristan hollered, firing arrows from his weapon, Failnaught from a jumping position and shooting the arrows downward.
Everyone quickly evaded or slashed the arrows the best they can, but they weren't easy.
"This guy's archery is insane!" Law hollered.
"His skill in the use of bow artes is honestly… unrivaled." Alphen said, shocking Law even more.
Naruto was locked in close-quarters combat with Kakashi, but was kicked aside.
"Guess we need to step up our game as well." Naruto thought.
The Union continue their battle with Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Tristan, All Might and Endeavor.
XXX
The rest of the Union's allies continue to watch the action on the big screen in the waiting room.
"This is getting intense by every minute." Melissa said.
"They need to be very careful." Yoruichi said.
"Has anyone Kota-kun, Eri-chan or Kon?" Melissa asked.
"They said they're getting some sandwiches to eat. Kisara left it for them before he left." Yoruichi replied.
XXX
"I can't believe we went back to get sandwiches when we're missing the action!" Kota hollered, as he and Eri are running from the kitchen to reach the second floor by taking the stairs.
"Yeah. But we can't let these sandwiches go to waste Aunt Kisara made." Eri explained.
"Can someone explain to be why I'm hanging by Kota?!" Kon asked, in an angry manner as the young water Quirk user was holding Kon by his hands.
"Because we can't trust you with Eri, you little creep." Kota said, giving off a glare to the Mod-soul.
"I SHOULD REPORT YOU FOR TOY ABUSE!" Kon shouted, a red tick mark appearing on his forehead.
XXX
A few minutes later…
"About time." Aizawa said.
"We're sorry for being late!" Eri hollered.
"It's okay." Aizawa said.
"How's everyone doing?" Kota asked.
"Unfortanetly… poorly." Melissa replied.
Proving the second genius engineer's point, the people in the waiting room sees most of the Union backed into a corner against Kakashi and the others as most of them were sitting out after being defeated.
Only Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Alphen, Pan, Shionne, Rinwell, Law, Kisara, Nala, Dohalim, Izuku, Bakugo, Shoto, Tokoyami, Mirio, Nejire and Tamaki continued to hold strong.
"WHAT THE?! They're getting crushed!" Kota exclaimed.
"My poor Rukia!" Kon hollered, comically crying before being silenced by Kota.
"They would've known to not be this easy. But they must surpass their limits to overcome this." Aizawa explained.
XXX
The battle raged on as the remaining Union members were getting overpowered by Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Tristan, All Might and Endeavor.
"Don't tell us that's all you got?" Gaara asked.
"Shit…" Ichigo muttered.
"We need to think of something… or else we're through!" Kisara thought.
"We're… not finished yet!" Izuku hollered.
"Out of respect for your courage…" All Might said.
"We'll unleash our favorite moves to show our strength." Kisuke explained.
"Here they come!" Sasuke hollered.
"Watch out!" Rukia hollered.
"Lightning Blade!" Kakashi shouted.
"Sand Shower!" Gaara shouted.
"Scream, Benihime!" Kisuke shouted.
"Vacuum Arrows!" Tristan shouted.
"Detroit Smash!" All Might shouted.
"Flashfire Fist - Hell Spider!" Endeavor shouted.
Combining their attacks, the six authority figures overwhelmed the Union's mightiest with sheer strength.
Now there was only Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Ichigo, Alphen, Shionne, Law, Izuku and Mirio left standing.
"Don't count us out yet." Naruto said.
"We're far from done!" Naruto hollered.
"That's right." Hinata and Ichigo said in unison.

"Bankai!" Ichigo hollered, transforming into his Bankai state as a massive burst of red and black energy enveloped Ichigo.
Once the energy dispersed, it reveals Ichigo now wielding his Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu.
"Tensa Zangetsu." Ichigo said.
Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Alphen, Shionne, Law, Izuku, Mirio, and even Sasuke were amazed.
"Guess we better get serious too, eh Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"I don't need you to tell me twice, loser." Sasuke replied.
Naruto and Sasuke activated their respective power-ups, Sage Mode (as Naruto has already placed a shadow clone to gather nature energy behind a tree way before the match began) and Mangekyo Sharingan.
Alphen followed suit by unleashing power from the Blazing Sword once again.
Feeling the flow once again, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Ichigo, Alphen, Shionne, Law, Izuku and Mirio charged at Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Tristan, All Might and Endeavor without fear.
The Hokage and Kazekage, former Squad 12 captain, the Dahnan archer, and the Symbols of Piece and Hope are starting to become overwhelmed by their incredible resolve.
(A/N: If All Might is once considered the "Symbol of Peace", then Endeavor should be the "Symbol of Hope" because of his change to become good again.)
"Amazing." Kakashi said.
"Sage Jutsu: Rasengan Barrage!" Naruto shouted.
"Chidori!" Sasuke shouted.
"Cherry Blossom Clash!" Sakura shouted.
"Eight Trigrams Air Palm!" Hinata shouted.
"Black Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo shouted.
"Infernal Torrent!" Alphen shouted.
"Burning Strike!" Shionne shouted.
"Dragon Shot!" Law shouted.
"St. Louis Smash!" Izuku shouted.
"Justice Uppercut!" Mirio shouted.
All 10 combined their attacks to overpower their teachers, but they took little damage in the aftermath.
"Aw, c'mon!" Naruto, Ichigo and Law exclaimed in unison.
"Whoa! They're really tough." Mirio commented.
"Guess we need to kick things up a notch once again." Alphen said.
However, a huge alarm rang at the last second.
"Time's up!" Yoruichi hollered.
Everyone soon realized the battle was over.
Feeling successful, the Union won because they were fighting a battle of lasting long.
"ALRIGHT!" Naruto, Sakura, Ichigo, Alphen, Izuku, Law and Mirio shouted in unison.
Sasuke, Hinata and Shionne smiled in their victory.
Those that were defeated got up and felt the immense joy of winning.
Kakashi, Gaara, Kisuke, Tristan, All Might and Endeavor smiled at the growth of the children.
"These rookies have come a very long way." Kakashi commented.
"Yep." Gaara, Kisuke, Tristan, All Might and Endeavor said in unison.
Inside the minds of Naruto and Gaara, Kurama snickered while Shukaku growled in defeat.

A minute later…
Most of the Union were bewildered by what Aizawa told them… that those facing the punishment was a lie?!
"That was just a logical deception to make sure you all gave it everything you've got." Aizawa explained.
"A LOGICAL DECEPTION?!" Naruto, Ichigo, Alphen, Pan, Izuku, Orihime, Shionne, Ochaco, Sakura, Ino, Choji, Kiba, Tenten, Rukia, Uryu, Renji, Momo Hinamori, Rinwell, Law, Nala, Kirishima, Mineta, Kaminari, Mina, Kyoka, Nejire, Tamaki, Hatsume, Itsuka and Inasa thought in unison, totally shocked.
"Curse it all… I should've known…" Iida muttered, feeling ashamed he didn't realize this was Aizawa's deceptive nature to push his students beyond their limits.
"Quite devious, Aizawa-san. It was actually a good scheme." Dohalim commented.
"That said… this was also a test of your friendship." Kakashi explained, getting everyone's attention.
"I've heard some of you have broken the rules to protect others aside from my young ninja here…" Kakashi continued, making Ichigo's group, the Straw Hats, Izuku, Shoto, Kirishima, Iida and Momo flinch.
"But there's something I want you all to remember: in the ninja world, those who break the rules are regarded as scum." Kakashi continued.
"But… those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum." Kakashi finished.
The entire Union, as well as those who just met up from the waiting room, became stunned and in awe of hearing Kakashi's words.
The Hidden leaf ninja and Gaara smiled.
"I want you all to remember that from now on your comrades are priority one aside from the Elemental Stones." Kakashi explained.
"You are not just friends for this mission. You are… family." Kakashi explained.
Everyone became touched by that sentiment. Even those who are in different says what their hearts say.
XXX
It was now evening as everyone gathered in the Common Area to have a big party with an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet.
The glutton group of Naruto, Choji, Kiba, Lee, Law, Kirishima, Kaminari, Inasa and even Shionne were pigging out. Everyone else were having petty brawls like idiots, or conversing normal like ordinary citizens as Iida tried in vain to calm down the chaos.
"Do these idiots know any manners at all?" Sakura asked, pinching the bridge of her nose in irritation.
"Afraid they don't." Kisara replied.
"And the fact Shionne's joining in is crazy." Sakura said.
"Shionne always did has a big stomach when it comes to eating. She even snacks while she cooks." Kisara explained, shocking Sakura.
"Guess they're all having fun as ever." Toshinori commented, having came out of his All Might form and back to his true form before anyone (aside from the young Heroes and Aizawa who've known All Might's weakened state since the Battle of Kaminoku Ward).
"If they could learn to clean up after themselves…" Aizawa muttered.
"They are still children. They deserve every now and then to let loose." Kisuke explained, in an indifferent manner.
Aizawagrunted, as everyone in the Common Area continued partying without a care.
Suddenly, the Soul Reapers present felt a strange presence, as did Uryu, Orihime and Sado.
The atmosphere of the party died down when something became wrong.
"You guys sense that?" Renji asked.
"It's not spirt energy." Momo Hinamori replied.
"It's coming from the back." Sabo said.
XXX
Reaching the backyard of the Heroes Office, a portal of energy appeared in the center as Kakashi, Gaara and Kisuke entered outside first, followed by Endeavor.
They were shocked to see who's in front of the portal.
"Hey… I've seen this guy in this world's history of mythology." Kakashi explained.
"Yeah… that's…" Endeavor said.
"Heracles!" Endeavor hollered.
Exiting from the closed portal and collapsing on the ground with severe wounds is the legendary Son of Zeus and one of the most famous heroes of Greek mythology Heracles.
Everyone else quickly came outside and either screamed in fright or stood shocked upon seeing the mighty hero.
Why is Heracles here?! What's going on?!
Preview Skit:
Tetsutetsu: I can't believe that's Heracles!
Itsuka: I've heard stories about him. But to see him here…!
Dohalim: Anything could happen. Though surprises never fail to get even me.
Sai: This is very unprecedented.
Itsuka: We need to assess the situation quickly!
Sai: Agreed.
Dohalim: Once he wakes up, we'll get the full situation.
Tetsutetsu: And whoever did this to this manly man is gonna get my steel fists!
Itsuka deadpanned, Sai remains stoic, and Robin giggled.
Tetsutetsu: Next time: Chapter 7 - God of the Underworld: Part One!
Tetsutetsu: Let's kick some ass!
Itsuka: Settle down, Tetsutetsu.
Did you enjoy it? Kakashi's lesson to Team 7 is now becoming a philosophy to the Union when the real mission begins! As a family, their safety aside from the stones becomes a very serious priority. To all, no mission is worth sacrificing your comrades, and it's more cruel than death as those who die before their friends is cruel.
Now that all the old chapters from Holy and Super World Adventures are re-done in Holy and Super World Chronicles, I can now focus on the next chapter of Grand World Chronicles, and the upcoming Valentine's Day one-shot by February.
