Month 1: Week 4: Strength Of The Pack Is The Wolf

Squadron: Class 1A

The class started out there day like normal, all meeting and eating within the common room as everyone began to slowly pool inside and converse amongst each other. The conversation soon ended when one of the hero association members entered the common room, he wore the standard garb and had a blonde bowl haircut. The class at this point knew the drill, the association was going to single out someone to talk to about some mission they needed them to undertake or perform for them.

"So who is it today chief?" kaminari remarked comically

"Actually the mission we have for today will require all of your participation. don't worry we have already informed all of your heroes of the situation." the blonde worker said as he moved towards the front of the room as the class reacted to the news with whispered murmurs and gasps.

"Is there a huge threat that needs taking care of?" Momo asked surprised that all of them will be taking part in this mission.

"Not necessarily, we need you all to capture a monster. " the blonde man said.

"Oh? What's the threat level of this monster?" bakugo questioned

"It's wolf."

"Then what's the point of bringing all of us? I can do it myself." bakugo announced brazenly.

"Because there is something else, two monsters have escaped. While the first is wolf , the second one is a demon.`` This gained everyone's attention even more, bakugo's fiery temper seemed to have died down a bit at the remark.

"You seemed to have implied that only one of the monsters needs to be captured, am I correct?" Shoji asked.

"You are correct, only the wolf needs to be captured alive. The other can be killed if you deem it necessary, given your track record however I don't doubt that you will try to take it alive regardless but if it proves too challenging we have no qualms with you killing the monster."

"Why does the wolf need to be alive? That doesn't seem like your guy's "track record" " bakugo taunted

"Researchers detected a substance in its blood that will enhance medicine, other organizations might use this monster for evil."

"I hope they treated them humanely." Koda muttered mostly to himself.

"The second reason we chose you all for this task other than your reluctance to kill is your familiarity with both monsters that escaped. Frozen-phoenix the demon level turtle monster that you captured was the one that escaped. Forest lord and sugarman the armadillo monster that you two help capture is the monster wolf threat that we need captured again. Any questions?"

"Where can we find these monsters? Do we have any clues?" midoriya asked

"Yes we do, the monsters fled into the forest between city-Z and city-Y. In this envelope we have a detailed analysis of a map of the area along with some details regarding the monster's physical characteristics but given your personal experience you probably won't need it." the blonde said before beginning to walk out towards the door again but stopped before he was completely through.

"This is a secret mission so say nothing of this to anyone, normally I would break you all into roles for the mission but you all have known each other much longer than me. I will assume that you divide your forces accordingly. There will be cars waiting outside for you to take you to the designated area where we last saw the monster. Good luck and be safe." the man said as he finally left the kids to their thoughts.

There was no talking for a couple of minutes before the class began to talk more about what just happened.

"Man, the association is always busy doing something." Kaminari said.

"Says the guy that hasn't had to do anything." Jiro remarked, the girl spotted Momo heading out as well and called out to her friend.

"Where ya going yaomomo?"

"I'm heading over to shadow ring to inform her of our duties and that I will not be able to participate in training today. While the association may have told drive knight of their plans I doubt they told her and want to make sure she isn't just waiting for me. Once I return we can discuss battle strategies for the upcoming battle." Momo said as she left.

Momo was gone for about 15 minutes and most of the class used said time to fully eat and work on their nerves about what's going to happen and how, mineta was taking the threat not as seriously due to the fact that midoriya was here so there was no cause for immediate concern of failing the mission, bakugo scoffed at the comment but made no argument to counter it. When momo re-entered the common room she first instructed the three people who had familiarity with the monster to come up in front of the class and discuss what the monster is like and what the class could expect from them first being todoroki.

"There is nothing much to discuss, as mentioned the creature is like a turtle and as such has a very strong body and three heads about 10ft tall when standing up, just as the notes from the association indicates." Todoroki calmly stated.

"If you're wondering how durable its body is, it was able to take shots from bakugo's explosions without a scratch." mineta chimed in from his spot. He received and annoyed glare from bakugo along with an irritated sound, when he noticed the rest of the class looking at him he sighed.

"Don't be fooled by that things size either, it's faster than you would expect." bakugo said

"How did you beat it the first time?" toru asked

"I incased the creature in ice, it seemed to have gone into an hibernative state." todoroki replied

"I can back that statement up, even after ice began to melt while we were waiting the monster didn't seem to move much at all." midoriya commented.

"You were there to midoriya?" Momo asked, nodding his head in response.

"Well that makes it easy then all we gotta do is have Todoroki freeze him again." kaminari said

"There could be a chance that it won't work a second time but for now that's my first assumption as well." Todoroki replied.

"Well we should come up with some contingency plan just in case." Momo suggested.

"That's a good idea, but that should come as no surprise from you. " was todoroki's immediate reply, earning a slight blush from the girl, mina was going to pounce on the opportunity but was held back by jiro who just covered her mouth.

"What about the other monster, anything we should know, sato, koda?" jiro asked the two boy's

Sato rubbed his chin together in thought.

"Ugh…I don't think so… it was just as strong and fast as me. When I activate my quirk without Koda's assistance the fight probably would have lasted a while. I'm unsure if I would have won, like an armadillo it has a soft underbelly and hard outer shell and wicked claws and tail.`` Sato mentioned.

" Anything to add koda?" kirishima asked

"Nothing much I can also say it had a good sense of smell so be careful of surprise attacks." koda mentioned.

After the students gathered all the information they deemed necessary, momo starts laying out the plans on how they will deal with each monster and what to do when they encounter them, given the environment and the circumstances of battle.

"What if the monsters aren't together? Ribbit" asui asked

"Yeah, should we all go together against one and then go after the other?" Uraraka asked as well.

"Hmmmm, I don't know if we all focus on one then there is potential that the other would get away." midoriya said.

"True, it would be better for us to divide our forces in such a case." tokoyami mentioned

"I agree, but now we need to choose who would go on what team, for example any team with tokoyami in it would do well to avoid flashy quirks such as bakugo, todoroki, toru, kaminari and aoyama."

"I agree with you big-" dark shadow said coming out of tokoyami's stomach before interrupting what he was about to say by stuffing him back into himself to shut him up but that he only emerged from his back instead.

"What? I was gonna say big brain… get your mind out of the gutter dude." dark shadow remarked, earring a few laughs from his classmates and another blush from momo.

"Oh, in that case I want the baku squad to be a team." Mina said.

"The bakusquad?" momo asked

"Yeah me, kirishima, kaminari, And jiro."

"Wait when did I-"

"When the hell did I agree that you all were a part of my squad?" bakugo beat jiro to the punch.

"Oh come on bakugo, doesn't a king need his subjects to rule over?" Mina pleaded with him.

"Yeah bro, me, you and kaminari always work great together." Kirishima joined in.

"Tch, fine you all better not slow me down." bakugo relented.

"Wait, I don't get a say in this?" jiro questioned

"Come on girl, you're definitely a part of the squad, at least for now but I'm sure someone can get you to stay." Mina jested, raising her eyebrows in suggestion. And speak of the devil.

"Yeah jiro you should hang around bakugo may not be the greatest person but in a fight you can sure count on him.'' Kaminari said Jiro knew that from the joint training he was talented when in battle and could maximize his and his teammates' quirks well.

"Jeez fine. I guess." Jiro relented.

"Well me and uraraka would be nice on a team, ribbit." Tsu mentioned. Uraraka agreed, raising her fist in the air in acknowledgement

"And if todoroki and bakugo are going on the same team than me and tokoyami should be in the other." midoriya mentioned.

"And there it is the dekusquad in action, although lida isn't here and todoroki is on our side" Mina said.

"Ok so we will divide the difference between the two teams by placing mineta, koda, and sato, shoji, and ojiro on the team with midoriya. They will go after the scaledon monster and team two will go after the turtle creature." Momo clarified.

"Ohoho, you too momo chasing your prince charming to our team." Mina teased.

"n-no , I'm just making sure that each team has a proper team captain or supervisor." Momo stammered out.

"Anyways, when your monster is detained, launch these, if you need help or are in trouble then launch these." Momo continued then gave midoriya two flares, one was green while the other was orange. Green signifies that the monster was captured successfully while the orange signified that the group needed help. With those plans out of the way the group made their way outside and towards the cars.

The group finally made their way outside towards the cars there was a large limousine that would take them to the designated forest when they were approaching however they noticed that next to the vehicle were workers next to a large chest, the chest was being lowered by a forklift type device being put gently down near the sidewalk next to the car. The workers upon noticing them one of the men walked over to talk.

"Which one of you is uravity? This package is for you." the worker said, looking over the class, spotting one girl with brown hair and round face, raising her hand and proceeding to step forwards.

"What is it?" uraraka said, moving forward and walking towards the chest and looking it over.

"Ms. Tatsumaki had given the association some advice on tools to arm you with on this mission, inside this crate you will find 4 metallic ball-like objects, each weighing approximately 20 tons each, totaling 80 tons in total she said these will serve you well in combat they even come integrated with ports designed to be compatible with your grappling hook." the man finished.

Uraraka's face dropped a bit when she heard the weight of all of the objects together even when not here that girl would make her work but she was glad these would prove to be more useful than scrounging up something as the battle was commencing. As she opened the crate to look inside there were four nearly medium sized bowling ball metallic orbs in the crate, each orb had insertion points for her hooks to insert themselves into, wanting to test it out she touched one using her quirk to make it lighter and inserted her grappling hook inside of it and picked it up with her hand, she slowly let the grappling hook start to loose upwards which moved the ball with it before retracting it and turning to look at deku.

"Can you catch this for me?" uraraka asked midoriya who nodded his head preparing himself for what she was about to do, she flicked her wrist and shot her grappling hook upwards which released the ball off it's chain like she accepted it would the ball floated upwards at a decent speed before being halted by midoriya's blacks whip who dragged it back down to her hand.

"Thank you. What's these other crates for?" Uraraka asked the worker before placing the ball back into the crate touching the other four and the crate itself and was going to attempt to lift the crate up and put it in the car but Midoriya did the favor for her.

"What a gentlemen Midoriya helping your lady with her things." Kaminari chuckled out, making the green boy blush and sputter.

"I..it's just the polite thing to do… she's going to have to keep her quirks activated the entire journey to the area so it's best if she takes it easy for now."

"Yeah right lover boy." Mina said, sending a wink his way.

"Would mina, Jiro, and koda approach." the worker said, walking forwards and grabbing a casing and opening it up for three students in question.

"Courtesy of child-" the worker was cut off as Mina noticed what it was and sped to the front of her classmates and snatched her bracelet from the case.

" Oh yes, I was honestly gonna be worried without them." Mina said as she tried on her gauntlets watching and showing them off to her fellow classmates who watched in wonder. Jiro and koda both walked over and picked up their upgrades as well and the class watched with fascination as the upgrades went over their existing equipment.

"Dang that looks cool. What does it do?" Kirishima commented, looking at Mina's gauntlet with fascination.

"It's like my personal acid thrower; it allows me to shoot out my acid at incredible speed and distance." mina said proudly

"So I guess your and koda's upgrades are kinda like better amplifiers?" kaminari said to jiro looking her over.

"Wow you used your brain for once. It also helps control the size of the sound waves produced." Jiro remarked.

"It looks really cool, I wish drive knight would have left me something." Kaminari muttered, disappointed before Jiro could respond, however the worker spoke again, overhearing the young boy stating drive knights name.

"You wouldn't happen to be kaminari would you?" the workers asked.

"Yeah , that's me." Kaminari said, getting excited.

"Drive knight actually did give you something and here it is." the worker handed kaminari a large suitcase which the boy opened and immediately and his mouth dropped in surprise, the class began to crowd around the him as he lifted what the suitcase contained it was a device much similar to his sharpshooting gear but this one was much larger it reminded him of those card game duel disks , and it was for his left forearm he tried it on it was a perfect match for his size. He didn't know if he was supposed to be weirded out by that fact or impressed. What drew him out of the moment was Jiro snickering from the side of him holding a small piece of paper in her hands.

"What do you got there? the instructions?" kaminari asked

"Yup and it's perfectly suited for someone of your intelligence." she said suppressing another laugh before handing it to him. She was right the instruction were pretty basic and straightforward, it showed an earpiece that laid in the case going on one of his ears, he put that on and it suddenly dug in deep and had automatically connected to his visor, it showed multiple settings the new disk had, it had an absorb feature, a shoot feature, and a discharge feature all he would have to do was think about what setting he wanted to do and the machine would compensate.

"Woah this thing is so cool." Kaminari remarked.

"Hold on this card notes that it can contain a total of 300 million volts of electricity? Where would you get that much power from?" Toru said as the instruction paper got passed around.

"For real? divided between the 10 batteries on this thing, I could only feed ⅓ of these things. With this I could absorb double the electricity I would normally be able to before passing out." Kaminari said in wonder as he looked at the device, the storage limit being displayed reading zero.

"It also notes that unlike your current equipment you will have to manually aim your lighting when using this device, the device will provide some micro adjustments to make sure you stay on target but it's not automatic lock on." momo noted.

"Are we sure we should be letting him have this thing then? I don't want to be fried from the back from this idiot misfiring." Jiro commented.

"What come on?" Kaminari complained, already drawing away from her to protect his gift.

"She does have a point, you're not practiced in using this equipment yet so It could be detrimental to your performance on the field." Momo suggested.

"What? No trust me I can handle this, how about this you create me some targets and I'll show you." kaminari wagered. Momo relented and allowed it going further away and creating four bricks the uraraka used her quirk on to levitate them into the air, one they were at a safe distance kaminari looked up at the bricks and aimed the weapon on his left forearm, his vision began to home in on the target before with a circle indicator that was constantly closing in before going red and displaying a message on the screen to fire or not. He didn't have to say the words just think them but he wanted to sound cool.

"Fire." he said as he began to generate his quirk around him that seemed to feed directly into the device and fire out of the whole on the end. Scoring a direct hit on the brick, destroying it completely, he swirled his head at the other targets, the visor seemingly locking on even faster than before he fired again and again, scoring perfect shots and whooped in the air at his success.

"See I told ya, I could do it." Kaminari exclaimed, pointing a thumb towards himself and smiling smugly.

"That was sick bro." Kirishima clapped for his friend.

"Well I guess he can keep it." Jiro relented.

"Well it won't be our problem if we have to split up." mineta quipped.

"Oh come on dude, give me some credit." Kaminari said.

"Let's get this show on the road already." bakugo said, agitated, already proceeding past the rest of his classmates and getting into the car. He had held out some hope that the toaster would have his shit done by now. It's been nearly a month already but then he realized something even more angering: when did he need some crutch like upgraded equipment? Like he was some helpless child without it.

"He is right, the more time we waste the further away the monster could get." Momo instructed and the class began to file into the car.

The car ride to the area wasn't bad and mostly filled with idle chatter, midoriya noticed uraraka looked a little under the weather but she assured him that she was fine. Mina and some of the other girls marveled at the fact that they were in a limo for the first time. Toru remarked how good it was for her to finally be able to go out more naturally than before the makeup and skin suit would get sweaty during her training with bomb, mina made a joke about her being an exhibitionist and when toru didn't make any point of counter only sighting that well she can't be bothered with nudity given her quirk she made a point to tease ojiro on how he will have his hands full with this one, causing both teens to blush and twitch nervously.

As the group drew clearer to the forest however the conversation started to die out, a lot of the participants were preparing themselves for the upcoming and inevitable battle as they doubt either monster would like to be locked away again especially by the same people so if anything they would have a vendetta against those students and would be prone to act more violently against them. Koda was trying to reconcile himself with what they were doing , I mean they escaped into the forest so they shouldn't be that much of a danger to anyone and using animals for scientific purposes while it can be beneficial to us, what about their thoughts or feelings? monsters are more developed than typical animals from what he's seen so imprisoning them and experimenting on them seems even more immoral in his eyes. Maybe he could talk to the association about it later after they captured them he thought.

The car finally arrived in the forest and just like they planned, Koda used his loudest scream to get all the birds in the area to relate where the two monsters had gone. It took 5 minutes but the birds finally got back to him and he explained his findings to the rest of his class. The two monsters have indeed separated and gone in completely opposite directions from each other but the class was prepared and got into their teams and were preparing to move out.

"Ooh, I bet we can catch our monster before you guys can." Mina said playfully.

"Come on mina we should take this seriously." jiro pointed out.

"Nah, I like where pinky is going ..we will capture our monsters first before these slow pokes." bakugo continued.

" oh you wanna bet on it." mineta said pipping up for midoriya's side

"Yeah, let's do it." Toru said, hopping in

"Let's think about this later after we capture the monsters," ojiro suggested.

"Scared you're gonna lose again." toru replied

"I think we should just get our priorities straight." ojiro said, shrugging.

"I agree, we should just focus on our battles and hopefully we will meet again later." tokoyami said.

"No need to make it sound so glum tokoyami, ribbit.'' Asui said next to him, the group discussed some more before it was finally time to split ways, midoriya and bakugo shared some final words before going in their separate directions.

"Good luck kacchan and be safe."

"You watch yourself midoriya, no one gets to beat you but me."


Team 1 composed of: midoriya, uraraka, asui, tokoyami, ojiro, shoji, sato, koda, and mineta.

Koda was out in the lead using his quirk to keep constantly updated on the monster's position but it was hard the animals were panicking and trying to run away from the dangerous beast that he could only get a passive insight for where it was going but the team was on the trail passing over a small creek before getting to a small pit stop area for runners it had a vending machine and a bench for people to take breaks.

"Guy's found some claw marks on this tree, so we're getting closer." uraraka noted gaining the class attention.

"Hey guys, something ransacked this vending machine as well." Mineta said to his team, the class split up to investigate the clues.

"There are footprints leading that way." Tokoyami noted from beside the vending machine but was held back by sato.

"Some things are not right here, those footmarks can't be from the target, they are way too big, it was roughly the size of midoriya when I last fought it."

"Could there be a third monster in the area? Ribbit" asui said

"Possibly this is a forest after all." ojiro said.

"No animals can make that type of footprint but the animals I've talked to say that the monster were looking for went that way." Koda spoke up.

"Do you think it's being hunted? By this larger creature?" shoji asked

"There is a good possibility. Shoji could you Keep your eyes out for it just in case.`` Midoriya said as he began to follow the trail of footsteps. Shoji nodded in understanding creating multiple eyes to constantly scan the area for ambushes while tokoyami had brought out dark shadow and continued forward

"Oh..man why do things always have to get so complicated." Mineta complained, shaking somewhat.

"Come on mineta, who knows how many monsters are out here and you don't want to become food do you." asui said with a chuckle. Making the boy run forwards besides midoriya.

"That's not funny tsu." he said as he held closer to midoriya.

As the group finally made it to where the footprints ended they were stomped, they came upon a much larger clearing but nothing seemed to be there other than a bunch of large rocks, dirt, and gravel which seemed to have buried something.

"Could the creature we were tracking done this to the larger one?" ojiro asked

"Could it conceive of such traps?" Midoriya murmured to himself.

"An enemy is at its most vulnerable when they believe victory is assured." tokoyami said.

"You think it lured the larger monster in and crushed it using all these rocks?" Tsu summarized his wording, tokoyami nodded.

"I'll try and see if any animals see it move from here, if it did do this that means it can dig at an extraordinarily fast rate but it has to come above ground at some point." Koda argued as he began to use his anivoice again and just as he did so Midoriya's danger sense kicked into gear he was about to tell Koda to wait but it was too late. Suddenly a large arm reached up from below the ground and snatched koda in its grip, kicking up earth and rock as it emerged from the ground with surprising speed scattering the remaining classmates to fall back from the falling debris.

"That voice! I knew I had heard it before." the creature said, looking at koda with fire in its eyes.

"It talks!?" ojiro exclaimed

"You!" it sneered angrily, its tongue flickering in and out of its mouth. Before it could say any

more however a green blurred from the corner of its eye.

45% full cowling St. Louis smash, midoriya roundhouse kick directly landed on the monster face knocking the monster off balance a bit and releasing koda from his grip, causing him to fall midoriya kicked off the monster chest catching him in his arms and launching off and away from the creature before putting him done.

"Tha..thank… you midoriya.`` Koda said as he tried to regain his breath.

"Is this the creature we're looking for?" uraraka asked

"It sure looks similar." sato replied

"Woah , woah, what the- didn't you say this thing was smaller than you sato?" Mineta pointed out fidgeting as he stood.

"It was, I don't know how it could have gotten this large." Sato replied back.

"I don't think this thing is a wolf anymore. Ribbit" tsu continued.

"Yeah, this thing is at least a tiger." Uraraka replied.

"That doesn't change what we were sent here to do. ``Ojiro stated, getting into a fighting stance.

"Just makes it an order of magnitude harder." Shoji said getting ready for combat. Midoirya stood up when Koda was able to right himself and proceed to the front of their formation.

"Alright guys let's do this."


Team 2 composed of: bakugo, todoroki, aoyama, toru, jiro, kaminari, mina, kirishima, momo

This team didn't have the knowledge of Koda's quirk to know where their monster was, only given the brief direction of where it was headed and Koda gave the extra message that they would probably be able to hear it when they were close enough. Bakugo was leading his pack through the forest in the direction Koda had indicated.

"Ok so after we put this monster on ice what are going to do for the rest of the day." Kaminari asked, his hands folded behind his head as he walked.

"You think it's going to be that easy?" mina asked

"Well todoroki already beat the monster essentially by himself before, why wouldn't he be able to do it again?" Kaminari replied.

"I guess that's true. Oh how about we all go shopping for some clothes after this. Then, I need to get some clothes that I actually want to wear." Mina jested.

"I'm right there with you girl." Toru agreed.

"Guys, we really shouldn't just rely on todoroki's power like that." Momo scolded them.

"It's fine Yaoyorozu, if I can defeat the monster quickly then the rest of you will have less of a chance of getting hurt." Todoroki explained.

"See, he's on our side yaomomo don't disrespect his chivalry. He wants to protect us." Mina said from the back, smiling widely.

"I can understand your concern todoroki but as heroes we all should put in the best effort to support in this endeavor even…if just a little bit." She paused slightly with the mention of his fathers hero's name, seeing a brief flash of something in his eyes at the mention of his name before a smile graced his features.

"I thank you for your support." he said while looking directly at her, he didn't know what that feeling was that happened when they were alone together previously but it had returned even greater than before, momo feeling a similar way that familiar warmth worming its way into her chest at the praise he gave her but the moment was interrupted by bakugo fake gagging.

"Please just shut up already. You two are gonna make me sick" he said from the front.

"Oh my god, bakugo you ruined the moment!" Mina screamed almost ready to take a picture of the duo just in case anything happened.

"Shut up!, you should be prepared for anything and not rely on others to do the work for you.`` Bakugo yelled back.

"Last I heard, you didn't do much of anything the first time the monster attacked." Mina muttered.

"What was that!" bakugo yelled again.

"Nothing, bro just drop it." kirishima said turning bakugo head back around to face forwards as they walked, kirishiam turning his head and raising a thumbs up mina's way behind the explosive blondes back.

"Seems like your silent protector strikes again." toru jested.

"really? , not you too. Do you seriously think there is something between us?" mina asked.

"I don't think so, I know so but it could just be one way I reckon, either that or you play off feigning interest really well. Toru explained.

Before the pink girl could respond, Jiro held up a hand silencing all talking, she started to hear a faint but large vibration going on all through the forest. She instructed the team to move in a different direction off the path before they met another well it seemed like another but this one was much more ragged and half haphazardly built almost like it was not supposed to be their going by the upturned and broken trees scattered about.

"Could the monster have done this?' jiro questioned?

"No way that thing wasn't half this diameter. ``Bakugo replied.

"It's the only thing I can hear in this direction, whatever is creating this path was probably what koda was talking about." Jiro said.

"So we were following the wrong trail this entire time?" Aoyama asked.

"Not necessarily, koda had a description that fit the monster as well as all of us. It wouldn't be like him to get confused, let's investigate before we steer our search elsewhere." momo suggested

The group agreed and began following the trail of destruction, eventually coming upon a much larger turtle then they were expecting. It was currently eating trees in front of it with its three heads not even bothering to notice them.

"He-hey didn't you say this thing was like 10ft tall tops? That's like 6 times the size.`` Kaminari said, stuttering out.

" It was and there is no mistaking that it bears a striking resemblance to the monster I faced a couple weeks ago." Todoroki suggested.

"Well what do we do now? How the hell are we going to trap that thing? `` Toru yelled and murmured simultaneously. Bakugo sucked his teeth and turned to todoroki.

"Can you do it? Just because it's bigger doesn't mean it doesn't have the same weakness.'' Bakugo asked him to shock a lot of his squad with the behavior; normally he would be the first to charge in and attack. Todoroki took a look at the monster one more time and thought for a moment before nodding his head.

"Good, the rest of us will take up position on the sides so we won't get caught in the way, agreed ponytail?" bakugo said, looking towards Momo, who was a bit shocked by him asking for her input.

"Ye- yes that is an agreeable plan of action. four on each side. " she said.

The team split up four on each side of the massive monster, bakugo, kirishima , mina, and aoyama on the left and the rest on the right. Todoroki stayed in the middle directly behind the monster he was preparing his right side before breathing out a sigh of cold frost breath and letting off an tidal wave of ice that completely covered the monster and froze it solid. After waiting a moment, Kaminari cheered.

"OH yea! We did it. Nice job todoroki." he said giving a thumbs up, todoroki released a breath of frost as he used his left side to warm his body back up. mina looked smugly at bakugo.

"What happened to not letting someone do your job for you huh? Leader." she said through a snicker.

"Shut up." bakugo felt something was wrong, he looked at the incased turtle and he swore he could see it start to become red and glow. Cracks begin to show in the Ice as it begins to partly melt, Jiro raised up from her position hearing the sounds.

"Todoroki get out of-" her voice was cut off by the immediate rush of air as the creature broke out of the ice and spun around to face its adversary, the quick movement kicking up a dust storm that blew away the tree's and classmates hiding out on its flanks.

Todoroki stopped himself from being propelled back too far by placing ice behind his back and as the dust settled came face to face with the giant turtle one of its heads were bigger than his whole body and all 6 of its eyes focused on him.

"So you're the one that encased me in ice huh? Well sorry that's not going to work anymore. And as payback, here is a present from me to you." one of the heads began to open its mouth and todoroki froze in shock as he began to see inside the beast mouth start to build with flames.


City-Z branch headquarters

"What of the escaped monster?" an old fat man with gray hair asked the blonde worker as he stepped into his office.

"I have dispatched a team of heroes to look for it." the blonde man said.

"We must have that monster! It'll make us a fortune! We found a buyer that will pay big time for the scales." the old man said.

"It's not for medical research , sir?" the blonde replied

"Nah, that was a lie! The scales regenerate if you apply a nutritive substance. We can't let that monster die. " the big man said as he went to take a drink from his beverage.

"But the creature was stronger than we thought, since it broke through that protective glass." the man said just as the blonde worker received a ding on his phone that was cause for immediate alarm.

"Branch director gish I have just received a message from metal knight, who designed the cells. Only a monster of at least threat level demon could smash through that reinforced glass. It was a wolf when we first captured it…the stress, tests, and drugs along with the change in diet while in captivity must have caused massive growth and potentially an also increase in ferocity. " the blonde spoke with a hard and inquisitive message to his tone.

"You seem rather calm from the news? Are you confident in this team's abilities to accomplish the mission still?" gish asked

"Well the team includes two S-class heroes so-"

"S-class! Need I remind you that this mission was supposed to be top secret right! Don't think you aren't complicit in all of this as well if this goes public to the rest of the association." Gish threatened standing up from his desk, startling the blonde worker, making him take a step back out of the office before he reorganized himself to reply.

"Mr. Gish, none of the members of the team are officially out in the public eye as hero's yet, if they are found no one would suspect them of being heroes unless they asked them. But from my sources I can confirm two of them have S-class level ability so the mission should still be possible even given these unexpected terms. " the blonde assured gish who seemed to have calmed down from the news.

"You say two of them? How many of them are there in total?" gish asked.

"18 sir."

"And all of them are not officially heroes yet?" gish questioned

"Correct sir, they will be officially revealed to the public early next month." Gish finally sat back down in his chair letting out a breath of relief before picking up his drink and taking a swig.

"However sir given these unexpected circumstances there is potential for them to leak information to the wrong people to pronounce their grievances or at worst purposely believe that we lied to them to get them killed." the blonde explained making gish freeze up again before rubbing his chin in thought.

"Upon successful completion of the mission and I mean captured alive, for each of them a 50,000 yen bonus to make sure such events don't occur. Understood?" the blonde worker nodded, after that he was dismissed by the branch director, as he got out of the directors office he let out a long sigh and rubbed his hands through his hair. There was also the problem of the second monster that if it had gone through a similar transformation as the other monster he couldn't even think of the damage an evolved demon level monster could cause.

He technically went against the wishes of sitch by employing the kids but they just presented the perfect opportunity to handle the situation without involving other S-class heroes or removing a large amount of heroes to capture a demon potentially even higher monster. He didn't have much time to think about that now, he had to find someone that had access to their hero accounts and hoped that they could pull through. He sent 18 of them after all. It's time to see what they can really do, he thought as he made his way out of the building and back towards A-city.


Team one vs Scaledo

Scaledon recovered from the punch he received scanning the enemies in front of him, he seemed to zero in on another familiar face zoning in on sato.

"I remember you from before as well. They made me eat a lot of stuff in my cell. but I've never had a human before and it will be my greatest pleasure if you are my first victim." scaledon announced before launching itself straight at sato much faster than any of the kids were expecting a monster of its size to have, sato could barely react to put his hands up to defend himself but he was suddenly pushed out of the way from the crushing grip the monster was about to put him in.

Midoriya had intercepted the creature's grip, holding its extended hand with both of his, manifesting black whips to start to snake up the entire arm to keep it there.

"We don't have to be enemies." Midoriya struggled to say as he held the beast arm still.

"He's…right… you know we inadvertently saved you.`` Koda spoke up to try and calm the monster down but it had the opposite effect.

"Save me?... save me!" scaledon responded its scales on its other arms shifting and hardening over its entire fist before it struck out forcing midoriya to unhook his hand to block the incoming attack, even while blocking it still launched the green teen far away crashing and breaking through multiple trees.

"Midoriya!" Uraraka screamed, turning to face the direction he flew towards.

"he'll be fine pay attention ahead, ribbit" asui reprimanded her.

The scaledon monster launched towards koda again this time however it was tokoyami that flew in using his black fallen angel form and rescued him from danger flying him up and away from the monster. The crater that monster created with that attack would have surely killed Koda if it had landed, the creature turned and looked at the two heroes in the sky.

"You damned me to captivity and experimentation and now you're here to do it again. But I'm stronger this time around." scaledon said it's scales on its back starting to shift and harden as well before being launched off its back towards the flying duo, try as he might tokoyami was nothing but a sitting duck in open air he tried to weave through the large scales being sent up towards him but while caring koda his movement options were limited he was eventually struck multiple times before falling from the air. Tsu was already on it, shooting out her tongue and reeling them back down towards the ground safely.

"Thank you." Tokoyami said in return, standing on his feet.

"Don't mention it." was the girls reply

"He's not lying, metal bat was going to kill you! It was the best option we had." sato tried again to reason with the monster but it didn't seem to want to hear it as it charged forth again in his direction.

Its movements were abruptly halted however as Koda set his amplifier to stun and maximized the volume. The monster immediately starts to fidget and rub its head. The others took the opportunity to jump on the monster both sato and shoji did their super moves sugar rush and octo blows respectively meanwhile ojiro launched into the air striking the creature in the head with his tail over and over again.

(-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-)

Alternate dialogue:

Even when it's just standing there I can't seem to hurt it : shoji

Yeah I Realize that, just like me to : sato

Who's to judge, just keep trying : ojiro

While it's guard is down we need to keep attacking no matter what: tokoyami

With that we can all agree: ojiro, sato, and shoji

(-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-)

"This doesn't seem like it's having any effect at all." Shoji remarked as he took a step back from the creature.

"Tell me about it, my hands probably took more damage than it probably did." Sato remarked, shaking his hands from the numb feeling of pain coursing through it. Ojiro landed down next to the other two even though his tail was feeling the pain from the impacts but the creature didn't even seem to register his efforts. He sucked his teeth.

"We may not be doing anything on the surface but keep at it even if we only inflict the smallest amount of damage it will still matter in the long run." ojiro said, trying to rally his classmates. Before hoping back into the fray slamming his tail near the creature's face.

Koda's voice was beginning to trail off as he began to run out of air and the monster began to reclaim control of its body but before that uraraka noticed the shifts and changes in the monsters tail and it starting to aim its tail in their direction again and quickly activated her quirk on herself, tsu, koda, and tokoyami.

"Tsu we gotta move now." uraraka instructed her and tsu didn't question her friends orders, she quickly wrapped her tongue around the three and jumped upwards in the sky just in time to avoid another barrage of scales sent out from it's tail, the sudden hike cut out whatever remained of koda's voice, the monster got back complete control of its body and stared down at the three boy's in front of him. Scaledon attempted to raise its foot to stomp on them but found resistance, looking down he saw multiple purple orbs around its feet.

"Haha, you've been stopped now, monster." Mineta taunted the creature and turned its head to acknowledge the small purple boy who was a couple meters behind the three boys in front of him, next to a tree, despite the kid's boastful statement it was clear to scaledon that he was scared of him. Scaledon pulled up with more force, tearing out pieces of the ground along with it before chagrin forth again straight towards the purple headed boy sighting him as the weakest link. The monster charge was much slower than previously due to the imps' purple balls constantly sticking to the ground after his stomps would pulverize the dirt already attached to it in an endless cycle, mineta screamed and dodges away in time, the monster crashing into a load of trees before turning around and firing off scales from both of it's arms at the teens in front of it forcing it them to dodge around and away.

Midoriya sat atop a large tree having recovered from the blow he took rather easily, he was observing the battle between the monster and his classmates. Given if the blow he just took was the creature's full strength then he figured that he could take on the monster rather easily but the words of bang rang into his head. He had once asked the master that with his strength and speed why doesn't he do more to help fight monsters , he told midoriya that if he did everything himself then what will people do when he is gone or unavailable? When people rely on one person and become complacent it can only lead to disaster further down the line. By holding back and making others figure things out for themselves they have a better chance to evolve and grow, the old man said and it resonated with him, especially him.

Was that what went wrong back in their world? Did they rely too much on all might? Once he was out of the picture everything began to spiral out of the heroes' control shortly after because we lost our icon…. Our symbol…maybe the symbol doesn't have to be just a single person, he began to think before getting stirred from his thoughts by another rumble this one further away that brought him to the second thing bothering him, even from this distance of about 2-3 km away he could see the conflict happening with the other team, it was hard to miss given the apparent flames and smoke that punctuated the area but turning back to the fight with his own monster midoriya quickly realized that without him his classmates couldn't defeat it but just slow it down. He would have to hope that todoroki and bakugo could handle their target, as he kicked off the tree and rushed back towards his own team.

Their team was scattered doing whatever they could too keep the monster pinned down, tsu worked with uraraka to throw the girl in the air she was hoping to hit the target in the head with all of her orbs to hopefully disorientate it but as they flew to their targets the monsters tailed wormed its way up and smacked all the orbs back at her, she tried to dodge by deactivating her quirk making her fall towards the ground but that didn't seem to work either the orbs were stacked horizontally and only one needed to land to effectively ruin her or worst depending on where it hit, tokoyami had rushed to save her but he wasn't going to make it in time, uraraka closed her eyes as she awaited her fate but when she was suddenly stopped in mid-air she opened them.

"Deku!" she and almost the entire team exclaimed in unison as he was holding her up from falling; the orbs that were aimed at her were caught by his black whip.

"Let me give you a hand." midoriya replied before drawing back his black whip with an orb in each and launched them at the creature, the orbs struck like lightning 4 concussive thumps ringing out as each blow landed toppling the monster over from the impact. He gently floated down towards the ground as his teammates ran over and regrouped by him.

"What the hell took you so long midoriya! I was almost monster chow." Mineta screeched, banging on his friend's leg.

"You sure had us there, I started to assume some other monster was occupying your time." ojiro commented as well.

"You are still holding uraraka by the way, ribbit." tsu mentioned making the boy and girl blush and rapidly detach from each other.

"Thank you for saving me." Uraraka murmured.

"No problem and sorry guys..that blow just packed more power than I thought it would." Midoirya said, rubbing the back of his head, chuckling a bit.

"And you came back just in time to save the girl? I don't buy did that on purpose didn't you!" Mineta complained, punching his leg again. Causing some more laughter to spread through the rest of his classmates which was immediately cut off by the monster speaking again.

"I thought you had run off scared. You should have stayed gone, you would have lived longer." scaledon said getting up before it did so it forcibly removed the purple orbs on its feet removing some of his skin in the process but it immediately started to rebuild itself.

"I would never abandon my friends." Midoriya said, walking in front of his team again.

"Then you can be eaten with them." scaledon said before using his tail to try and spear it towards midoriya, he caught it and called for uraraka, she understood what he wanted and she touched the creature's tail with her quirk and deku immediately used his strength to pick up and slam the monster on the ground.

Midoriya felt the scales on its tails shift and quickly angled it upwards and away from him and his friends before kicking it away from them causing the monster to twirl along with its momentum before it stopped itself by planting its hands into the ground. It brought its hands up and launched a number of scales their way, midoriya countered by using an airforce Detroit smash that knocked all of the scales off course. Scaledon was livid he couldn't move properly anymore it felt like his body was so light and could just detach itself from the ground at the slight motion, he was angry that that green haired boy returned he was the only threat here, the rest were just small fry but under the circumstances he couldn't take hi , he had to leave if was a choice between his pride and going back into confinement than he would have to swallow that hole and fight another day.

The monster began to dig into the earth and try and too escape but his movements were halted his body began to freeze and tense up again that bastards voice tearing holes in his mind like a plague, he turned to look at the creatine that cause him to be in such a state, they were conversing about something while he was locked down like this. Midoriya charged forth towards the monster kicking in the underbelly launching it clear into the air, midoriya used float to follow after it, passing it before using his black whip to swing pass it delivering powerful blow after blow, tokoyami was also up their clawing at the creatures underbelly doing damage of his own.

The monster could only try to flail around and defend itself but couldn't get its body around, only resulting in shooting out its scales all over its body in a desperate attempt to hit something. Midoriya ended the sky fight by slamming the monster back down to the earth with a punch to the gut, tokoyami ensured that the monster would land on its back as he used dark shadows enlarged hands to grab onto the monster paws and legs and steer the monster where they wanted it to be . The monster landed hard on top of a pile of mineta's pop off orbs cratering the ground beneath it and kicking up a large amount of dust and wind.

As the two hero's made their way back down to the ground, they found Mineta standing up on the monster holding a thumbs up.

"We did it guys!" he screamed up at them.

The monster was out cold and contained for the moment and the entire team celebrated, midoriya took the flare from out of his pocket and shot it up into the air as they did, the green flair went up and up before exploding spectacularly like a firework spelling out the words success in the sky before dissipating into thin air.

"We really did!" Uraraka was so excited that her body moved on its own as she hugged Midoriya as he touched the ground. Before Quickly letting go of him and stepping a few feet back.

"Your really great deku." Uraraka said.

"I think everyone helped out somewhat. Everyone did their best and we succeeded because of it." midoriya replied

"Being humble won't get you any more points you know, you basically already got the girl." Mineta said before a tongue slapped him on his cheek.

"That's high praise coming from you midoriya, thank you." Tsu replied.

"Well we can relax now and wait for the other team to finish up." Sato said, sitting down.

"Are we sure we shouldn't go and back them up?" ojiro asked.

"You're still wanting to fight? The monster they went after was already stronger than this one." Shoji replied.

"Well they have todoroki and bakugo over there they should be fine right.' tokoyami stated

"Tokoyami's right if they need help I'm sure they would send out the flair for it. Ribbit" tsu continued. Midoriya acknowledged their strength but that didn't diminish the worry he felt in his body, it must have showed in his body language as uraraka touched his shoulder.

"They'll be ok, It's bakugo after all, he won't settle for anything less than victory.'' Uraraka tried to comfort him.

He was about to reply when suddenly two sets of orange explosion lit up the skyline, one was of an explosion as it petered out into smoke the other was a constant flame just like the other it then slowly extinguished itself.

"That wasn't a flare, what do you think-" Uraraka was about to question before being nearly blown away as Midoriya dashed off to the second battle. Leaving the rest of his classmates stunned and pondering on what to do.

"Should we go after him?" shoji questioned

"Ugh, I don't know.." ribbit."

"I think we should." ojiro said worry gracing his features. He was already getting prepared to storm off after midoriya but was stopped by uraraka.

"Wait…if both bakugo and todoroki need help then that means something serious is going on over there. If we go we could just be getting in the way.`` Uraraka argued. Ojiro halted there, pondering on what he should do. He wanted to go but she had a point: what would he accomplish by going over there?

"I know ..I'm weak but ….dammit. I can't just do nothing." ojiro said before slamming his fist into a nearby tree. Slumping against it, tokoyami came up to him.

"Zombieman always says to me that it's always important to choose your battles, we just have to have faith that they can win."

"And it's just like Midoriya said he never abandons his friends, he won't let them get hurt. Ribbit." Tsu continued as the rest of the team looked to the sky and watched as the smoke billowed out into the air.


Team 2 vs Game-Berus

Todoroki took a single step back, a brief flash of surprise and fear graced his features before being quickly replaced by a determined and hardened look, his left side exploded in flame before containing it in his left hand and just as the flames left the creature's mouth he screamed out his father's signature attack Flashfire fist. The two massive blast of fire collided and sparked the embers from the conflict began to inevitably spread into the trees and cause some of the forest around them to catch fire, todoroki was surprised to find that he was actually being pushed back in the clash the monster fire edging ever so dangerously closer to him as the kinetic force from the clash made him slide back. The fire from the conflict would have continued to spread and become a problem but momo and mina having quickly recovered and began to douse and mitigate some of the damage with their quirks.

Todoroki began to feel the heat of the beast's flames almost lick his skin as it edged even close, his fire in turn weakening do to the overextended use any attempt to use his ice side to mitigate the drawbacks proving rather fruitless due to the combined temperature of not only his flames but the creatures, he pondered an escape root or something he could use to possible deviate the creatures attack allowing him room to maneuver but seeing none and finding no other options he decided decided on using one of his newer moves but he was still working on it and there was no guarantee it would work and if it misfired could lead to him being badly burned but at this point that would happen either way so he might as well take the risk. Flashfire phosh- but before he could use his new technique, multiple giant explosions launched directly towards the creatures head the attack on todoroki stopped but as the smoke cleared the creature was clearly undamaged but its head's attention turned to focus on bakugo blasting into the air.

"You're here as well, what could you possibly do? weakling ." Berus taunted before another head opened its mouth and unlike the center one that spewed flames, the left head fired a small precise blue beam surprising bakugo slightly but he was still able to dodge around the attack but it didn't end there multiple small beams shot out of its mouth aiming directly for bakugo. Bakugo was forced to alter his course, the beams acting like a anti aircraft spray of projectiles, bakugo used his explosion to stay ahead of the spray trying to get out of the dam heads range of motion to force the turtle to either reposition or stop firing completely but the damn thing's head was like a hawk almost completely able to turn 360 degrees allowing it to keep it's fire on him.

Bakugo eventually forgone trying to dodge the attacks and returned fire of his own, using his AP Machine-gun to trade directly with the blue beams the attacks collided creating a huge cloud of smoke in the air but as bakugo stopped his attack to stabilize himself even more blue beams shot through the smoke towards him and he was about to be hit when suddenly they were averted away. Towards the ground below.

"Bakugo! I can help!" Toru yelled, bakugo didn't bother looking for the girl but smiled.

"Good, then back me up!" bakugo yelled back before literally diving down and through the dust cloud towards the monster the monster attempted to fire again but to its shock the beams that were on target started to bend around him like he was repelling them somehow. Berus closed its mouth and lashed out with one of its giant heads snapping outwards towards the boy attempting to swallow him whole, bakugo managed to dodge out of the way before landing directly in front of the head in the center.

"You may be bigger but you're sure as hell slower." bakugo taunted back as the head in the center began to open its mouth and spew forth another burst of flames. Max power Point-Blank Stun Grenade, before the flames could burn the child to ash a giant wave of light and sound burst forth from bakugo's hands disorientating the monster just enough for him to race back down and grab todoroki and run off towards the side where momo and the rest were.

"Todoroki are you ok" momo asked immediately

"I'm…fine..just a little singed. I should cool down in a couple of minutes, ``Todoroki replied, taking a breath, focusing on using his right side to cool his body.

"Well hurry it up, that monster is not gonna wait. Pony tail help him out, we're gonna need his firepower" bakugo announced standing up looking at the giant creature through the trees, momo did as instructed before . The heads swirled around and the behemoth started stomping around just in case it had the opportunity to crush the insects bakugo thought.

"Yo, man what is this, it's nothing like the information they gave us." Kaminari said, shivering slightly.

"He's right, did it display any of these abilities before?" jiro questioned the two boys, but both shook their heads bakugo got a sick feeling in his stomach but he buried it for now, the association shitty intelligence can wait for another time after they take care of this walking gamera parody. His mind briefly drifted to the flares ponytail had, looking over and watching as she created some bags of ice for Todoroki to use to cool down. But he quickly turned away and shut the thought out he didn't need help at least not yet, he ain't gonna throw in the towel so soon.

The others managed to make their way over before finally catching their breath.

"We..ugh..we managed to..put out most of the fire." Mina said.

"What are we going to do against such a powerful adversary?" Aoyama asked.

"That thing is huge and I bet its shell is extremely tough." Kirishima pointed out.

"If we can find an opening and all of us hit it together that may work. Toru could you try and find a sweet spot in the creature's hide?" Momo suggested.

"I'll try." Toru responded before taking off both her gloves and boots and moving off to a different location.

"The rest of us need to just draw it's attention." Momo began again.

But before anyone could respond the creature's voice rang through the air.

"Cowardly little nats, you can't hide from me." the turtle said before, swiping its left hand creating a wave of air pressure that blew away a 100 meters of trees in their general direction. As the wave drew closer to the teens, Todoroki used his ice to protect mina, aoyama, and momo. Kirishima hardened and placed himself in front of kaminari and jiro , bakugo counteracted the force using his own explosions. The wind kicked up trees, gravel, and dirt that broke upon the teens' defenses and others went around them. What was once a tree covered place was nothing more than an empty plot of land with broken and destroyed tree stumps scattered everywhere.

"Let's see how you handle this!" the creature said again before the left leaning head opened its mouth and began to charge up, electricity seemed to highlight the head's features. Seeing what was about to come, Kaminari hopped out in front of his classmates, and prepped his new equipment, setting it to the absorb feature as the eclectic blast left the creature's mouth directly towards his classmates, the large wave of electricity tightened and went straight towards kaminari who's gauntlet immediately absorbed the electricity. Kaminari steadily read the gauntlets gauge fill up rather quickly and the attack didn't show any sign of slowing down, the gauge eventually filled to completion and he had to resort to absorbing the rest into himself thankful the attack trailed off completely shortly after. Kaminari breathed a heavy sigh of relief as his body slightly wobbled.

"Kaminari are you ok?" he heard jiro call out but seemingly far away, he turned to look at her offering a big smile.

"Yeah…yeah I'm good." Kaminari said, wobbling again. Jiro rolled her eyes.

"Sure you are. You look like you can barely move." jiro commented

"Aww your worried about me." kaminari joked, winking at the girl.

"Yeah he's nearly fried. ``Jiro said with a slight blush on her face.

"But if he used that device to absorb the attack then what hell type of voltage did that thing just release?" Mina said, staggering back.

"Hey idiot, what the readout says on your device." bakugo called out.

"Hey man, no need to sound rude, it's say it's full." kaminari mentioned casually as if 300 million volts was just something casual.

"I'm guessing since he's not completely fried brained it's probably around 500 million volts he just absorbed more or less." bakugo commented, frightening some of his teammates

"Oh man, if we get hit with that then we can say Au revoir." aoyama commented.

The turtle angered that these teens still somehow countered his attack, charged forth using its large body. Most of the teens started to move out of the way of the charging behemoth but Kaminari kept his feet firm and pointed his device directly at the charging behemoth.

"Don't worry guys I got this. release!" he yelled before anyone could stop him, the built up energy exploded out of the device but the power was so excessive and his footing was already loose that when the energy discharged it completely sent kaminari hurling backwards but the size of the target combined with the slight alterations from the machine kept the blast on target and to the surprise of everyone the attacks actually caused the monster to stop it's charge turning slightly to take the attack on its outer shell, the blast looked eerily similar the one genos shoots out bakugo noted, the blast took a bit off his shell off, leaving a smoking remainder but that quickly healed itself in no time.

"Oh man are you serious. that's just not fair." mina complained

The monster was extremely furious now and raised its centered head again and breathed fire straight at Kaminari, who fell back and crashed into a bunch of overturned trees. He must have sprained his back if his constant complaining was anything to go by but the blow must have cleared his head as his body was more precise and sharp, bakugo used his cluster explosions to speed towards kaminari and grab the idiot and get him out of the wave of the oncoming heat wave.

"All that just for a broken shell." Kaminari murmured as bakugo threw the guy on the ground and launched back at the creature. Todoroki was keeping the monster busy creating colossal ice structures to attack the creature, it used it's massive size to swipe at the ice destroying it or using his multitude of elemental powers to try and break through and he was succeeding destroying more ice than todoroki could generate. Mina tried turning the tide by shooting acid into the creatures eyes , she was successful and in retaliation for her efforts the turtle monster quickly swiped at her with it's tail and similar to before kirishima was there to push her out of the way and tank the attack for her, instead of getting sent flying however he latched on to the tails as hard as he could before beginning to climb on top of the turtle and to his surprise one of the turtle heads turned towards him, this one was the one that shot out the blue beams from before it opened its mouth and unlike before where many smaller blue beams left out the creatures mouth only one singular large beam came forth ⅓ of the beam was redirected elsewhere but the rest remained on course directly towards kirishima who harden to his absolute peek as the attack landed blasting him off the creatures back and flinging him away

.

"Kirishima!" bakugo said in distress.

"I'll go check up on him!" Toru yelled out.

Bakugo sucked his teeth again and looked to momo who was staring right at him, he hesitantly nodded his head and charged at the monster again, firing off his auto cannon. Monster shot out a burst of flames before but not in a singular beam like before in a spread pattern, the surprise catching bakugo off guard and catching him in the side, making him fall towards the ground. Momo thought quickly creating a small device and throwing under where bakugo was about to fall, the device then rapidly expanded into a crash pad. She then unhooked the flare from her side and shot up the orange flare but just as the flare eclipsed the trees the monster shot out a blue beam destroying it completely.

"Trying to call for help are you?" it said, narrowing its eyes at momo.", Todoroki stepped in front of her.

"I'll distract it, try and get that flair in the air as soon as you can." it was evident that todoroki was currently expiring the drawback of his quirk his right side showed signs of being frozen over but the spots evaporated as his left side began to spurt flames again. Momo listened to Todoroki and started to back away but the turtle began to chase her going through Todoroki's flames and launching a strike out at the teen which he tried to block with his ice but the monster completely shattered it sending him flying backwards.

Momo turned to look at todoroki struggling to stand and the turtle monster looked pose to finish the job charging up another blast of heat that was going to kill the boy, momo body moved before she could think goin over the recovering todoroki and creating a giant metal shield to protect him. The shield held up fairly well, if she wasn't mistaken the material she made this shield with was the same one used in creating A-city and the hero association headquarters and her assumption on their toughness proved true but while the shield was tough it wasn't invulnerable she could already feel the material starting to heat up and redden at the center, it will not hold for much longer.

Lucky for the two of them Aoyama managed to score a direct hit center head eye using his most strongest attack, his supernova, the move barely rocked the creature but he got its attention. It rubbed its eye in frustration before turning to aoyama.

"You insects always go for the fucking eye so I'll go for your head." Berus said as he charged up his right head but before the blue beam could fire jiro used her heart beat distortion to sink one of the creature's legs throwing off its aim and making it miss aoyama completely. Bakugo recovered from his fall, launching again off the crash pad and snatching both Todoroki and momo from danger. The creature launched another stream of blue beams at the flying targets, momo generated another shield to cover them, the beams bouncing off the metallic shield before, while they still had the chance bakugo told both todoroki and momo of a plan he just thought of.

Mina, Aoyama, and Jiro were all pestering the monster with ranged attacks to try and distract from their teammates stranded in the air but nothing seemed to work on it. Bakugo spotted kirishima and presumably toru was with him to and just like that the blue beams that were barraging the shield and denting it started to be deflected away from them harmlessly allowing bakugo to fly further away the turtle attempting to follow them but was tripped up again by jiro. Kaminari and the rest of the gang on the ground regrouped and followed after them doing their best to slow the monster down by either blinding it or sinking its legs.

"What's the plan yaoyorozu?" bakugo said plainly, still flying away from the monster pursuing them. Momo was momentarily surprised by him using her actual name for once before responding.

"Me-me?" she asked, looking towards Todoroki who was looking back at her expectantly.

"That's your name isn't it?" bakugo answered, momo sat in thought for a moment she first thought of using that same sleeping solution that she once used on gigantomachia but after another beam narrowly missed her frame she thought better of it, no one should go near that thing's mouths and there was no guarantee that it would work on such a creature. She kept thinking and finally got an idea on what to do, quickly telling the two boy's with her what she had planned.

"Good I'm getting tired of carrying you two anyways." bakugo said as he threw the two ahead of himself todoroki used his ice to create a platform to stand and slide down on while, momo used this makeshift slide to slide down from the air with todoroki in front of her, she created a cannon and fired multiple strikes on the beast as she slid down as expected they had very little impact on the creatures shell or face but that wasn't her goal, she wanted it to be perceive her attack as fruitless so she could perform her next trick the next three cannon shots were all aimed at the creature's eyes but instead the normal explosions those shot held a mass amount of cement glue and all three attack landed striking the creature in the face exploding and completely covering each of its head, halting the monster entirely to wipe at its face. The next shot that momo loaded in the cannon was another of her lucky bag to which she shot in the forest directly towards her teammates. The monster struck out one more time with a lighting attack that completely destroyed the slide todoroki was creating forcing both of them to begin to fall, todoroki used his flame side to recover and catch momo guiding her over towards the clearing bakugo was in to start the preparations.

Toru and Kirishima approached the rest of the gang holding momo's lucky bag inside with a simple letter of instructions and formations to take, after everyone knew their role the group dismissed separating into three groups. Toru, Mina, and Aoyama were to flank the creatures left, Kirishima and Kaminari were to go on the creature's right flank, while Jiro remained towards the back. The teens filed out as instructed, the monster had just begun to move again after finally getting rid of all the concrete on its face by literally burning it off its face and charging towards where it last saw where the teens went. it crashed through the trees to an open clearing all three teens were waiting for it and as it stepped completely out, it spoke to them.

"You stop running good, it seems you've accepted your fate." Berus said as his center mouth began to build with fire again.

"NOW!" bakugo screamed launching into the air and slamming down his gauntlets into ground in front of it using his Landmine blast technique, simultaneously both the other group of teens struck out of the forest both mina, aoyama, and kaminari each fired everything they had at the ground the creature was standing on combined with the the explosives buried under its feet created by momo a massive explosion engulfed the creature but even before the smoke cleared the flames shot forth out towards momo's group while simultaneously the other heads shot out there attacks on both of it's flanks just as momo predicted the creatures head that was closest to that side retaliated allowing each side to properly defend against it.

Kaminari thought fast and absorbed the lighting again using the device but this time there was a lot more voltage immediately overloading the device and forcing him to absorb the attack himself. Toru was able to effectively able to redirect the path of many of the beams, creating a path for her squad to effectively move out of the way, but what she hadn't expected was for that same head to turn and begin to fire at jiro but instead of the smaller beams she could redirect, it was the larger one but it seemed to have doubled in size from previously. Jiro had tried to move but tripped over loose debris and was the prime target for the beast's attack, the large blue beam started towards her at a fast pace, toru tried her best to advert the beam but it was hopeless, kirishima was to far away and the others were preoccupied or to slow. Kaminari watched with his very eyes as the girl he cared the most for was about to die in front of him. His mind urged his body to move even though it had been overloaded. He needed to save her, no he had to save, he couldn't live with himself if he didn't, jiro watched the blue wave with fear as it quickly drew closer and closer, she heard her heartbeat as it quickened, she saw her life flash before her eyes, she closed them in an attempt to ease the pain… but none came.

She began to hear another heart beat, this one was faster than hers. It was beating at a staggering rate like if it were the drummer in a band. she opened her eyes to the sound of someone saying her first name, as she opened her eyes she realized that she was being carried bridal style by kaminari of all people but something was different about him. all around his body was yellow electricity and his hair was standing up slightly and the most remarkable things was that he was fast, she was at first staring down death's door of that monsters attack now she was in his arms next to kirishima and judging by the shocked look on his face as well she was definitely not imagining things.

"Kirishima, protect her, I'll be back." Kaminari said as he gave the girl over to his friend before charging at the monster the smoke had cleared the monster didn't seem bother much only suffering a few scuff marks on its shell but the true intentions of the attack was successful the turtle seemed to be buried half way down but even then it was still a large creature but kaminari continued forward undaunted he felt incredible right now like he could do anything, he leaped towards the top of the creatures head, the center was still blasting towards todoroki with it's flames but stopped once he was firmly on top of it.

"INDISCRIMINATE SHOCK FULL THROTTLE! " He screamed, punching the creature with his hand as he discharged the stored up energy in his gauntlet in its pure form combined with his own power. The amount of electrical surge completely blinded everyone in the area and momentarily stunned the monster, todoroki and bakugo both took this as their chance and shot an explosion and flames into the air to signal one person.

"Yeah." Kaminari was completely brain dead above the monster but as it started to move it flung him off. Jiro made sure to use her sound cannons to slow his descent before kirishima caught him.

"Did….I…beat….. it." Kaminari asked in his dazed state kirishima looked up at the monster that began to dig itself out of the hole and began to glow completely red with heat.

"Nope, I think you just made it even angrier, we got to go." kirishima said and gestured for everyone on that side to file back into the woods. All three of the monster's heads turned back to the trio in front of him as the others ran off into the woods. the monster was glowing red with heat melting the ground as it walked before curling up into ball and charging at the trio in front of it todoroki tried to use his ice to stop it but the creature busted through still coming at full speed, bakugo pulled the pin on his gauntlet to help out as well but it had no effect and just as the monster was about to splatter them he was stopped completely in his tracks. Midoriya had arrived 100% full cowling, his hair glowing bright green as green sparks flowed around him.

He kicked the monster straight up into the air like a soccer ball forcing the monster out of its ball state, it charged up all three of its heads and fired them down at the four teens. Midoriya countered using a Detroit smash uppercut the shockwave of the blow splitting elemental blast down the center and striking the behemoth turtle knocking it out and making the turtle fall on its back with a huge thud that shook the surrounding area. Bakugo stared at his friend with mixed emotions, happy but discouraged at the same time, this was one for all at 100% , this is what he had to surpass to be the number one hero.

When it became clear that the turtle wasn't getting up again, midoriya powered down and turned to look at his friends behind him, they all looked relatively fine bakugo's costume was a bit singed but he seemed ok, todoroki was tired but looked ok as well, the same couldn't completely be said for momo she was pretty winded probably from over using her quirk but other than that she looked to be ok.

"Where is everyone else?" Midoriya asked and he was answered with yells from behind him.

"Yo! Midoriya I thought that was you!" Kirishima yelled at him and the rest of team 2 started to come out from the tree line. He breathed a sigh of relief as he looked over everybody and everyone seemed to be ok, kaminari was the only one that was off but it was only due to his quirk he figured.

"So. I'm guessing you guys finished up over there?" Mina asked.

"Yup, we finished up a couple minutes before I got your signal." midoriya replied

"Is everyone alright?" Momo asked as Todoroki helped her to her feet.

"Yeah everyone's fine, I'm fairly sure this guy was much more trouble than the one we had." midoriya commented.

" Your monster was different? " bakugo rough voice and serious tone clued midoriya into what he was implying, he nodded his head in confirmation.

"Yeah, the data we got from the association and both sato and shoji stated that the monster wasn't like that before when they first apprehended it. "Midoriya acknowledged. Bakugo nodded his head in understanding something was going on here and he needed to figure out what.

"We should go meet up with everyone else and then head over to the staging area." Midoriya said.

"How are we gonna transport that thing?" Toru asked

"I'll handle it. Momo, can you call them and tell them we will be on our way?" Midoriya said simply. Momo nodded, getting her phone out to call as Midoriya used his float to fly towards the upended turtle; he channeled his black whip and wrapped it around the turtle a couple of times before pulling upwards, lifting the giant creature up into the air, bakugo offered to help him out providing thrust so that he would just need to focus on holding the turtle. The rest of team 2 who were still on the ground and proceeded on foot, mina noted how now that everything was over that the place smelled like garbage before jiro noted that the creature seemed to be leaking sewage from it's back as midoriya carried it. Todoroki noted that the creature claimed to have been flushed down into the sewers. Upon hearing this momo made the executive decision to not cause even further damage to the forest with the monster pollution and tasked aoyama, mina, and todoroki to clean up after it's mess as they walked after some reluctant complaining by mina they all agreed and with that made they way over to the rest of their classmates.

Team one was waiting by the first monster mostly conversing about the recent battle and what they could do better for next time while others stared off into the distance near where the loud sounds suddenly stopped. Mineta who was keeping a look out up high in a tree called out to everyone below that something was coming but quickly rephrased himself when he saw midoriya and bakugo with the large turtle creature, midoriya safely set the creature down as next to the area the rest of his classmates were.

"Woah, that huge thing was your target? I'm glad I wasn't on your team." mineta commented

"It wasn't supposed to be that big, remember our briefing? It was supposed to be like 10ft." Kirishima remarked as the rest of the team came through the woods.

"Same thing happened with ours." Shoji remarked. Pointing a thumb at the large creature lying on top of a bed of pop off orbs.

"Do you think they grew this large when they escaped? Ribbit." Tsu asked.

"More like it is the reason they escaped." bakugo commented as he and Midoriya landed down next to them.

"But that doesn't make sense, why would they feed us irrelevant information then?" sato asked.

"I believe that's what bakugo's implying, they either knew and withheld said information for whatever reason or didn't and we're just a pawn to someone else's game." tokoyami noted

"That's what I would like to find out." bakugo said with an angry expression.

"We shouldn't do anything rash." momo noted.

"I'm not, I just want to talk to the guy that sent us here." bakugo confirmed but his face and body language read like talking was the least thing he wanted to do. Ojiro was looking around at the new arrivals before being suddenly surprised by a voice from behind him.

"Who are you looking for?" Toru said, making the boy jump slightly, which she started to laugh at.

"Toru …um are you ok?' ojiro asked. He couldn't see her at all in her current state besides her shoes that she still had on.

"I'm fine, you do know I'm a hero too right? I can take care of myself." she said, putting on a fake offended tone.

"N- no , that's not what I meant ..I Ju-" he was interrupted by the girl laughing and putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm just playing around, I'm fine, thank you for asking. Are you doing ok?" toru said sincerely

"Yeah our monster doesn't seem like much compared to yours and we had midoriya here to …take care of it." ojiro said, slightly trailing off.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Toru asked again, slightly more concerned, Ojiro seemed to snap out of whatever came over him and put on a smile which to her was obviously forced.

"I'm fine we all got through this in one piece, that's all that matters." ojiro replied.

The class after catching up briefly all came together and were going to progress to the designated meeting area set up by the association. Uraraka had insisted on helping Midoriya carry the two monsters so he didn't have to try as hard in transporting them. After some minor debate the green boy relented allowing her to touch each monster with her quirk before the 18 students began to move out, instead of before where midoriya had to use his float and strength to lift the monster now he was essentially just using his black whip to keep the monsters from floating off into the atmosphere.

If anyone was watching from further away they would have guessed that the two monster would be like giant balloons although midoriya did have reservation seeing uraraka slightly stumble from the nausea she was suffering from with nearing the limit of her quirk and after 30 minutes of walking and several attempts from midoriya to stop her from trying so hard just to be denied several time over, to her credit though even with all the weight of the monster plus the weight of her equipment which were just dragging along in mid air behind her, the girl still kept pace with the rest of her class and still tried to be her chipper, optimistic self, having momo create some medicine for her stomach helped but she powered through very well not throwing up even once on their journey but he could see the look of relief on her face as they got closer to the staging area.

The look on the workers' faces was nothing but surprise and the wide mouths at the two floating monsters gliding slowly over the trees, they were soon ushered back to their stations by the same blonde headed association member from before who whistles and intently at the site of the monsters giving the teens a round of applause for their work.

"Impressive display I must admit. Now for the debrief-" association member's speech was immediately halted by a ball of paper being hurled at his face at such a speed that it almost knocked him over.

"Bakugo I thought you said, you were just gonna talk." Momo reprimanded the boy for launching the ball of paper at the gentlemen.

"That is my way of talking." bakugo replied, cracking his knuckles while approaching the worker.

"To be fair, that is lenient when think about it, seeing that it's coming from bakugo." tokoyami commented.

"He's right, previously he probably would have used his quirk on the guy. ribbit" tsu said

"Gosh tsu you might as well stand the guy with the amount you've been consigning him this entire time." Mineta commented before getting a bonk on the head not from the girl or the guy but dark shadow himself.

"hey, don't lash out out just because your to stupid to actually understand what my partner is saying. " dark shadow said before snuggling up to Tsu cheek before being forcibly pulled back by Tokoyami, he faked coughed.

"Apologies for dark shadows lack of manners."

"No offense taken, I like the little guy. ``Tsu replied, internally he heard a snicker from dark shadow followed by a faint word "jealous" that rang out in the back of his mind. Tokoyami didn't reply and gave Tsu a curt nod as their classmate finally made it to the worker. He jerked a thump up and over his shoulder to the monsters floating behind him.

"Mind telling us what the fuck happened here? What type of shitty game are you playing here?" bakugo yelled at the man. The man took a couple of fear induced steps back before he could readjust himself noticeably shaken by bakugo's threatening demeanor. He straightened his collar as he spoke.

"I profusely apologize for any misunderstandings or troubles that we may have inadvertently caused you all. Please understand that we were unaware of either creature's biological changes until metal knight had informed us of the resiliency of the glass they were originally contained in before we had already dispatched you all." the worker said, trying to placate the angry teen.

"And upon realizing what actions did you all take?" Todoroki inquired.

"Well due to the nature of the assignment and the presence of two S-class heroes on the scene, we assumed that the change would still be of little concern for worry or dispatchment of other heroes. " the blonde replied, getting quieter as the look on all the teens' faces began to drop into a disapproving look.

"So you were just going to leave us out there with no back on its way. What if we were killed or too hurt to make this journey?" Momo piqued up , the blonde worker had no response earning even more discerning gazes from the teens.

"Who was responsible for this operation?" Midoriya said even he was worked up at that remark, a tiny bit of electricity coursed over his body.

"I… am sad to say that I can't inform you of that but he too was sorry for this misunderstanding and for that reason he has also offered each of you a bonus 50,000 yen for your troubles." the worker announced somewhat confidently, but the look on a majority of the teens faces did not change very much from their disapproval look from before.

"So that's it, you think you can just buy us off and be square?" bakugo demanded.

"I'm sorry but that is unfortunately all I can give you all as reparations. You also have the right to use the association vehicle you arrived in as your personal chauffeur for the rest of the day. " the man replied, bakugo's eyes widened at the man, he was about to ask something else before someone else beat him to the punch.

"What are you going to do with them?" Koda asked, surprising some of his classmates.

"I am not completely sure, as I said before one was being used for possible medical advancement the other is unknown to me, please understand that everything involving the association is on a need to know basis so I do not know all the facts of either creature." the worker replied.

"How are you going to contain them because if they escape again you can surely count us out if this is how you're going to be treating us." Mina exclaimed, earning a bunch of nods from the rest of her classmates.

"I can assure you that, metal knights have created even more reinforced cages for each monster, even a disaster level dragon would have trouble escaping,'' he said.

"Isn't that the S-class hero?" midoriya questioned.

"Yes indeed metal knight or more precisely is an S-class hero as well as the prime materials and structure maker for the association, it was him that rebuilt A-city. He also, if memory serves me correctly, was the mentor of the youngest S-class hero child emperor." The news shocked Koda, Mina, and jiro.


?

Many collectors want monster skins and stuffed specimens. But I cannot believe that someone would try to profit off them. I shall take measures to ensure that he is expelled from the organization. The association's big shots disgust me . They are exceedingly easy to manipulate an old man in a white lab coat thought, he was at a terminal that displayed the scaledon monster along with a picture of the Z-branch director gish before the displays immediately switched to 18 other displays of the kids that supposedly recaptured the monsters.

They were recent additions to the hero registry but what truly interested him were the powers that these children possessed he closed the images and pulled up two displays each of the teens battle against the monsters zooming in and enhancing selected passages or still images to see or gather any instance of technology being in use but he saw none were these natural? And how? He took a momentary glance at some of the teens' bio's that the hero registration had for them but even at courtesy glance for the genius he could tell that these were falsified which only served to interest the scientist even more. What was the association hiding about these children and where did they come from? He attempted to use his many backdoor access nodes he installed into the association's headquarters to find a trail upon where first contact with these kids occurred but even all his backdoors and hidden subroutines couldn't crack through the firewalls and only one man in the association would have that sort of power.

"Sitch" the scientist murmured to himself. Before canceling all the displays and bringing up a live feed of where the teens currently were, he noticed one of them was closer to the monsters than the others almost as if he was comforting them, he recognized this one had the power to speak with animals so could he also speak to monsters as well? A smirk grew on his features as the display of gish respawned along with his plans for the scaledon monster.

"The association's big shots do disgust me but I'll let them run free a little longer." he murmured.


Staging area

The class began to make their way towards the vehicle the association set up for them to travel back towards A-city but midoriya and uraraka had to stay behind to restrain the monsters in case they woke back up before they could get sedated properly. Jiro had been bandaging kaminari hand it was heavily bruised and swollen near the knuckles.

"Ow can you go a little gentler please." kaminari complained

"Shut up, why did you punch the thing in the first place? I doubt you even hurt it." Jiro said not meeting the boy's eyes, her emotions battling inside her on the boy and not trusting her body not to irrationally blush if he made some corny pickup line at her.

"It was something that me and drive knights been working on. I just wanted to try it out." Kaminari said with a laugh as he rubbed the back of his head with his other hand.

"Yeah, well you should use a softer target next time." Jiro remarked. Kaminari continued to laugh.

"Yeah, I should have learned my lesson the first time but I was just angry about what it was about to do so I had to let some frustration out I guess." he said more sincerely looking at the top of the girls head he yelped in pain as she wrapped the bandages even tighter over his injuries before finishing and leaving.

"You…you idiot." she said before quickly turning away and leaving, she didn't get very far before mina was suddenly in front of her the pink girl appearing almost out of thin air.

"Ugh…I have no time for this mina." Jiro urged her friend trying to move past her but was halted.

"Now as delicious as that scene was just now, I'm not concerned about you but about uraraka and midoriya right now they're alone and I wanna know what conversations those two will have." Mina said being giddy despite the undertaking they just took.

"You want to spy on people now? Really?" Jiro asked incredulously.

"If you agree, I won't bother you about kaminari for the entire rest of the day." Mina said honestly. Jiro thought for a moment.

"A week." she replied.

"Three days." mina responded

"A week."

"Ok five day's, come one please?" Mina said using her best puppy dog eyes. Jiro relented and nodded her head given what had happened already it was probably the best she was gonna get from the matchmaking queen. Mina jumped in the air enthusiastically before taking the girl by the hand and running back towards the staging area.

Midoriya and uraraka were finally able to leave the staging area and uraraka finally had a good time break from using her quirk; she returned the metal orbs back to the association allowing her to be completely free of anything. As the two were walking towards where the rest of their class were, Midoriya began to slow down to a complete stop asking to talk before they went to meet the others. Uraraka's heart skipped a beat at the remark, asking what he wanted to talk about.

"Why…why are you trying so hard? I mean as soon as we got here you seem to be working yourself to the bone everyday, why?" Midoriya asked, uraraka turned towards the forest as the breeze began to blow her hair to and fro.

"Because of you, deku." she said simply. Making midoriya do a double take as he looked at her. Stuttering.

"M-Me? Wha-what do you mean?" midoriya asked

"Do you remember the battle we all did in the gym? You won…so you were gonna leave again…but we were just going to follow after you either way." uraraka said

"What? But you guy's promised tha-"

"We promised that we would let you go but we made no such thing that we wouldn't follow behind you, we are a team and wherever you went we would follow because we are your friends." Uraraka said.

"But it would have been too dangerous for all of you, you guys are just-"

"I know, we're weak. If we tried to help we could just get in the way but that's why….while we're here I'm trying my hardest to get stronger pushing myself..because(she approaches deku and puts her hand out open, hovering above deku's chest.) If I can just lighten that burden on your shoulder just a little bit then I can be satisfied." her eyes were tearing up around the edges threatening to fall. Midoriya was nearly speechless; he couldn't understand why she would go so far for him. So he asked.

"But why go so far…just for me?"

"Because…. I love you midoriya.`` Uraraka said, a stray tear leaving her face. The revelation stunned midoriya into silence, he was so happy and excited about the revolution but in the back of his mind negativity persisted. Could he really afford to love someone in his current predicament?, what if the villains capture her to get to him, could he afford such attachments? But as soon as his mind spilled through these thoughts it seemed like his entire soul was angered, like he was being attacked from the inside for thinking of such things. He was jarred back from his thoughts by uraraka again.

"Do…you….love me to? " She asked shyly, her body completely tense in anticipation. Midoriya, seeing her and reliving his thoughts and memories of the girl from the past. looked at her completely seriously.

"I do." he replied


Jiro had her earphone jacks into the wall and listened intently to the conversation between their two classmates and tried her best to ignore the pink haired girl constantly buzzing in her ear for updates. Upon Uraraka's confession she put her hands to her mouth causing the pink girl to explode with questions on what she had overheard just then but just before she could say anything another gruff voice came from behind the two girls.

"Bout time you two got your head on straight.'' The two girls turned to see bakugo emerging from around the corner. Jiro shot Mina a look that told her pink friend to remain quiet and let her handle this.

"What have you overheard anything new their keeping from us." given bakugo's statement jiro understood what he was actually interested in but she needed to relay said information to mina just in case she didn't figure it out yet.

"Ugh..nothing yet, it seems like they're still setting the monsters up for transport and going over their new caging strategies." Jiro said.

"Good, just keep an ear out for that blonde bastard's voice, I wanna know who he's working for. Didn't think you would have had the brains for his pinky. You may be learning something after all." bakugo said complimenting the girl, who seemed clueless on how to answer looking at Jiro who looked back with a go on look.

"Uh…as I said you are our squad leader if you think something up, it's best to investigate further and jiro was happy to help being a part of the squad." Mina said, offering a wink to Jiro who forced a smile.

"Yup, the bakuquad gotta support their leader." Jiro commented.

"You guys should be doing stuff like this on your own but following after me is another road to success." bakugo replied clearly, feeling himself, which Jiro rolled her eyes at, but now she had to change her targets on who she was spying on focusing her hearing like bakugo said on the blonde mans voice and who he was talking to, ignoring the sound of uraraka barfing and what the hell caused that.

She began to focus ignoring all the other noises and sounds of machinery and voices that were unfamiliar to her until she finally found the blonde worker's voice he was currently conversing with another man whose voice was also very familiar to her and just as the name was on her tongue the blonde worker spoke it.

"Stitch sir, you came here personally?" the blonde worker said.

"Yes I've come to see that the subjects were unharmed, I'm surprised that the mission was a success. What heroes did you deploy on this mission?" stitch, asked calmly.

"Ugh…well…sir um…I deployed the 18 teens you recently employed. Sir." The blonde's worker's voice was small and weak, like he was scared.

"You directly went against my direct orders NOT to involve them. Explain yourself. " stitch said in a clearly agitated tone.

"Umm sir, they were the only people that would spare the subjects, even you must admit that even if asked to the S-class would be impossible to corral into capturing monsters." the blonde worker tried to reason, the reason seemed to have worked as stitch tone calmed slightly breathing a heavy sigh before asking his next question.

" Do they suspect anything? Ask any interesting questions revolving around the monster's abilities?" stitch questioned

"Umm… no sir nothing like that they-"

Strangely enough the familiar voices seemingly ended she was retelling the conversation they two association members were having to the other two even the abrupt end.

"That's it?" Mina was thoroughly invested in what was transpiring.

"They just stopped talking, I can't hear them anymore." Jiro responded, before listening in on the sound of approaching footsteps and they could only belong to two people. She quickly got Mina's attention as bakugo began speaking.

"They must have suspected us, if we weren't- supposed to see those monsters then- "

"Well good luck with piecing it all together, chief will go and inform the others on what we heard alright. Bye." Mina said as she basically dragged Jiro away with her around the corner to the building.

he was confused for a moment before ignoring the behavior and starting himself back towards the others before being halted again by the voice of the nerd and round face.

"Kacchan, bakugo"

he turned towards them and both of their faces were beat red and he saw that they were both holding hands upon following his eyes to their connected hands the two quickly detached.

"Ugh…how much did you hear bakugo." Midoriya stuttered.

Bakugo for a moment was confused, then his eyes slightly widened in realization of why the girls were actually there before settling back down in an irritated frown. He simply turned around and walked away, Leaving the new couple with some concerns before he said back at them.

"Whatever you idiots were doing is irrelevant to me." before walking around the corner and elevating the couple's worries.

"Speaking of which, do you think we should just come out with it to everyone?" Midoriya asked.

"Umm, maybe let's give everyone some time to cool off first before ok? " uraraka replied

Both teens follow after bakugo towards the rest of the group.

As the two finally made their way back to the others, they noticed a serious expression on all of their faces. Jiro filled them in on what they had overheard from the association members about the assignment which called into question what was really happening behind the scenes. The car ride back to A-city was mostly in silence. Everyone was thinking about the information they gained and how they were going to respond to it.

The only certainty was that Mina had managed to convince all of them to go to the mall to look and buy some clothes in Y-city, so the first thing the group did when they arrived back to A-city was go and take a shower, after that was done and members had more time to think about all of the events of the day.

The group of teens filed into the common area and locked the door behind them. Bakugo gave a nod to kaminari and using his quirk he absorbed all of the electricity from the room. The lights immediately went out and the only thing illuminating anything in the room anymore was the combined flashlights off each of the classes' phones.

"This is a free form discussion, you can freely comment. All I ask is to not talk above one another. we will begin the discussion by retelling the information we already know, jiro if you may." Momo asked. Jiro nodded her head and retold her story of the conversation she heard between the two association members and why she and mina was listening in on them in the first place going off the story that they were going off of bakugo's sentiment which got a slight eye roll from the blonde himself and a shared panicked look from uraraka to deku but no one noticed in the darkness.

"Why would they not want us near those particular monsters?" Toru asked out loud.

"Because they're experimenting with our DNA." bakugo said gruffly, earning some surprised looks from everyone around. Making him suck his teeth in annoyance.

"Think about it, we fought those monsters before we knew what they were like before going into custody and when they emerged. Now they have fire, lighting ,and light beam powers as well as hardening powers and the ability to launch and regrow parts of its body.`` Bakugo said, pointing at each individual teen who shared a resemblance to said power.

"He does make a point." Shoji said.

"I can't find any arguments to make otherwise." tokoyami mentioned as well.

"Hold on a minute, can't this just be a coincidence?" Momo wanted to reason out, not wanting to believe the association would be that nefarious.

"She's right the powers don't necessarily have to come from us, they could have come from other monsters who know what kind of monsters they had faced before, me and midoriya even fought a dragon." Kirishima said.

"He's right, I was a girl for some time just a few days ago. After all, monsters probably could come with any host of abilities like quirks." mineta mentioned.

"Does that make it any better?" the quiet boy koda announced rather loudly.

"Even if it's not our DNA they're using and something else's still highly immoral to treat creatures that way he called them subjects like they were objects but they can speak and feel emotion just like the rest of us..they shouldn't be put through whatever they have them going through." Koda said with a bit of agitation, surprising some of his classmates with how much and boldly he spoke. The room grew silent again and no one really knew how to respond.

"We can't pass judgment too soon . We don't know why they are doing what they are.(Koda snapped his head up at him about to retort.) I'm not saying that I condone their actions but we have to see things from their side as well.`` Midoriya tried to reason.

"So modifying monsters serves what purpose exactly?" bakugo asked angrily.

"A deterrent perhaps?" Todoroki suggested.

"Isn't that what heroes are for?" Mina asked.

"They're too weak." ojiro murmured loud enough for most to hear, his hand balled into fist as he sat on the couch.

"From what I have seen on forums, the disaster level of monsters has been increasing recently and the hero's can't compensate for it. We saw today first hand what C-class looks like going up against a demon level monster." ojiro mentioned.

"We were outmatched without midoriya we would have been…" Sato said, letting his sentence trail off, leaving the implication to them and no one else spoke up after. Both bakugo and ojiro body language visually tensed at the remark.

"It would explain why they want the one I was talking to, be turned into a hero as well." asui said.

"But after the commotion the police had with me, is that really a wise choice?" Shoji asked.

"Probably a necessary set back , the association wants to ensure the survival of the human race as much as possible, they only live on one habitable continent after all even if larger than anyone of our own there is not much room to spare." tokoyami said.

"So what are we going to do?" Uraraka asked.

"Nothing for now, we shall wait and remain vigilant if the association makes any move towards any of us then we can decide if we leave or not." momo said, getting nods from everyone in the room. She nodded to kaminari again who was constantly draining electricity from the room before stopping and the room relighting itself and powering back on.

Mina was the first to stand and get up, stretching before clapping her hand in front of her.

"Alright! Now that that is out of the way, let's hit the mall!" she said enthusiastically.

"Before we go, I believe it is important to see how much money we have so we can properly balance out how much we can buy." Momo instructed the pink girl.

Everyone got out their phones and looked inside their bank accounts and inevitably this turned into a competition of who was most loaded. This argument was mostly irrelevant back in their world, momo was clearly the richest amongst them followed by Todoroki but here it was all new and completely reliant on their own merits. It turned out the complete opposite was true for this world. Uraraka was actually the richest amongst her friends followed closely by Aoyama , mina, jiro, then midoriya. Momo was among the middle of the pack and Toru, Kaminari took up the rear with barely anything past what she initially started with.

"Woah how you get so much money uraraka?" kaminari asked

"Well I guess all that monster fighting I do pays off." the brunette said with a chuckle

"I fight monsters almost all the time too but I don't have that much." midoriya commented

"You go on patrol with bang correct?" Momo asked, Midoriya nodded .

"Well apparently the money gained from defeating monsters is divided by the people involved and the higher ranked individuals usually take the better share." momo explained

"That would explain why I have so much, tatsumaki just usually slams me down someplace and just leaves me there." Uraraka said with another chuckle but she noticed the worrying body language midoriya produced slightly brushing against his hand before continuing.

"Well she has a really wide range and she still protects me from things getting out of my control."

After some more talking the crew decided it was time to go. They called for their shofar offered by the association and they were on their way, everyone talking about what they would want to buy or being curious about what was considered fashion in this world. Aoyama had mentioned that he would guide the girls in their pursuits of fashion from his time spent with sweet mask. The guy's were less worried about this world's fashion and just concerned about getting things that they would find comfortable to wear on their own.

As the crew got out of the car the girls and guys split up and went their separate ways besides aoyama who went along with the girls to show them some of the designer brands this world had to offer while the guy's kinda went their own way blindly navigating the malls numerous stores and shops for anything they liked.

Aoyama showed the girls to an undergarment store decided to wait outside for them, he really didn't need to go in their and he really didn't need to go shopping for clothes due to him and sweet having done so previously and too wonderful effect as he got many looks from different girls as they passed him even some older women eyed him up and down. He ignored the praise mostly and turned down some of the girls that had the courage to go up to him and straight ask him out right then and there. But something seemed off about this new group that came up to him. All of them were girls, ten of them in total all of varying ages from his to above. The one in the center had a shirt that read I heart sweet mask and countless sweet mask merchandise on her person and he realized what these people were.

"HI, we're with the sweet mask fanclub. Would you like to come with us to answer a couple of questions?" Before he could even answer he was already being dragged away from where his friends were and stuffed into a corner of the mall and shoved inside and closed off from the rest of the mall by the rest of her pack, he just oriented himself as the president from before and addressed him with a very strange question.

"Are you sweet masks son?" the president asked, completely taking him off guard.

"What? Of course not." Aoyama said, seeing a rather noticeable shiver of contentment running through a lot of the girl's forms.

"What are you to sweet masks then? Rumors have spread that you follow him everywhere he goes. Are you a family member of his or something?" the girl questioned

"No, no nothing like that…..I'm some kind of protégé. You could say.`` The girl was skeptical and then whispered this question.

"Are you…. A secret…lover?" the girl said with such seriousness that he was fully silent for nearly a minute.

"What!? God no! NO!... I don't even think I've ever seen sweet mask with a woman or partner ever.`` Aoyama screamed before calming down again .

"So you're saying he's single?" That was what she took from that. thought.

"I…guess." Aoyama said with a shrug.

"So who was that woman that we have heard you took to see him.?" the president asked, most likely referring to Tiffany but he wouldn't say her name that would just paint a target on her back.

"I….I have no idea who you're talking about, sweet mask is a very busy man he talks to a lot of people." Aoyama argued , the girl was even more skeptical of his behavior. But before she could ask him any more questions he was suddenly airlifted out of the situation when a large pink tongue wrapped around him and dropped him off outside of the formation.

"Hey girls! We're just gonna take our aoyama back alright." Mina said with a cheery smile as tsu set aoyama down in the back of the UA girls formation. The group began to disperse around the president as she made her way through.

"And who are you all supposed to be?" the girl said with a bit of snark in her voice.

"Just some friends of the guy you were bullying over here, I hope there won't be a problem as he was showing us around. You had your time with him so you can leave now" Mina replied with a creepy happy voice. The girls murmured something to the president who held Mina's gaze before sucking her teeth and dropping it all together and leaving.

"Thank you." Aoyama said.

"No problem, what did they say?" mina asked jiro

"Nothing too important. They realized from tsu that we were heroes, they called her something like the toad of q-city.`` Jiro replied.

"Look like you're famous tsu!" uraraka said next to her friend

"I'm not a toad, ribbit." Tsu replied.

"Aren't frogs and toads essentially the same thing?" mina inquired

"Not quite their body structure is different as well as their method of transportation but it is quite fair to be confused by the two." momo supplied.

"Anyways let's get back to shopping! Where next aoyama?" toru said, as the group left for another store


The guy's were just palling around going into random shops that they fancied. The guys were somewhat more anxious walking around than the girls were a lot of their members were more mutated than everyone else and wearing their association given equipment did not detract from their weird appearance in this atmosphere especially tokoyami who had a full on helmet type system which was strange given their current environment but being within a group made others back off and not question it.

The group went to a couple of stores that they fancied even stopping at this world's equivalent of hot topic for tokoyami. The group progresses through the mall as clumps allowing Shoji to carry most of their clothes and things of that nature. The group was briefly halted by someone calling Shoji's name from behind.

"Yo shoji!" a tall girl came up to him followed by three others behind her.

"Tank girl, Nice to see you." Shoji replies, looking over her shoulder to find tank masseuse, tank amazon, and another girl he didn't know.

"You can just call me Brittany when we're not on the job. So these are the rest of your friends she said looking at his motley crew of classmates who all turned to look at her.`` Brittany said. Shoji nodded and began to introduce all of them to the girl in question and Brittany did the same introducing tank missuses as jade, tank amazon as ebony, and the girl that was new to him as well mizuki. The guy's all mentally took notice of the girl's massive sizes especially the amazon she towered over all of them and the other three girls weren't short either, the smallest among them was around Iida height while the rest was about as tall as shoji himself. But the amazon had to be a foot taller and not just that she was extremely well built all throughout her body that the guy's got a good look at due to what she was wearing at the time which was something for gym attire.

"So you guys do a little clothes shopping huh?" Brittany said as she looked at the bags in Shoji's hand.

"A little seems like you're downplaying." Mizuki chuckled at stepping forwards and looking over the teens in front of them. She noticed the one with the red hair, she powered sped up to the teen and examined him closer, surprising both groups completely. She examined his face for a moment, bending down to be face level, causing kirishima to take a step back.

"Have I seen you before?" Kirishima asked with curiosity.

"No but I have heard about you I think, you're the kid hanging around darkshine right." Mizuki asked and Kirishima nodded, making the girl jump enthusiastically. Mineta and kaminari both noted the way her tits bounced in her shirt but neither boy said anything.

"Hey How do you know him huh?" the girl asked

"He's kinda like my coach" kirishima replied before the girl nearly squealed

"What!? I didn't know Darkshine was coaching people Personally, he's like my idol!" Mizuki screamed silently before badgering Kirishima with a number of questions about darkshine and other things.

"So what brings you to the mall?" Shoji asked Brittany.

"Just a girls night day out, it's rare that the three girls of the tank tops can get together, they usually operate on the other side of the continent so they don't get recalled often back to base besides during the monthly meetings." Brittany responded.

"Are those really machines? They look so natural." Jade asked as she examined him, given that she was with the tank tops he felt it safe to tell her the truth.

"They're real, I can create multiple arms at will essentially." shoji commented

"Really you would be good in my line of work with an ability like that." jade said.

"How does it distribute strength?" Ebony wondered, causing Shoji to look up at the girl he wasn't used to that Shoji thought and as for her question?

"Well my duplicated body parts are enhanced versions of my original so to strengthen them I need to strengthen myself."

Their conversation was cut short due to a commotion between Kirishima and Mizuki, the two had moved off to a table that was a couple of feet away. The two were about to be prepared for an arm wrestling contest and the four of them ran over.

"What's happening?" Shoji asked.

"Darkshine apparently holding an event soon and the girl wanted backstage access so she challenged kirishima to get them for her, if she beats him at arm wrestling." Kaminari remarked.

Bakugo was the one monitoring the competition holding each competitors hands before letting go and letting the to commence, the competition didn't last very long at all, mizuki was easily able to slam Karishma's hand down in seconds, bakugo plucked the redhead in the forehead , screaming at him not to hold back and when he insisted he wasn't he advise the idiot to use his quirk, kirishima nodded his head in understanding before giving it another go, mizuki honored his second request and the two began again this time kirishima used his hardening to try and win, this time he held his ground much better but after a couple minutes he lost again.

bakugo again lashed out at his friend for holding back and it was mizuki this time to come back and offered the rematch saying that she felt disrespected by him for holding back so much, he apologies and finally got serious his body morphed into his unbreakable form and after a momentary pause to digest the information but participants started again. This time kirishima held a firm edge over the girl but he couldn't fully get her hand completely down on the table he pushed with all his might but shoji noted that the girls technique simply elevated it in a surprising maneuver mizuki had briefly let her hold go before re-engaging with extreme force and pushing kirishima hand back completely to the opposite side loosing . Some cries were heard between his classmates from bets that were placed on the match and both competitors shook hands.

Just as the match concluded and the two were shaking hands, the girls and Aoyama came and bumped into them. The groups all greeted each other and asked what was going on before Mina had dragged Kirishima away to go do something before they left.

"Hey you better remember our promise!" mizuki called out after him

"Don't worry I will." Kirishima replied back.

"What promise?" Mina asked, she didn't know why but seeing Kirishima with that girl somehow made her feel something but she didn't understand what.

"Oh, we had an arm wrestle contest. She beat me so I got to get her into one of my teachers' events.`` Kirishima responded.

"She beat you in a physical competition?" mina asked in wonder.

"Yeah I know right! She was strong and I bet that giant chick was even stronger. I Wanted to get her routine honestly but I'll find out later." kirishima mentioned. That feeling that Mina got grew even more. She didn't know what it was but it was somewhat negative but towards who? She wondered, it can't be Kirishima, so maybe the people he was talking about? But why she didn't know them. She buried her thoughts and only gave a single word response.

"Cool." Before continuing on to a selected store it was a store that sold hair products and no doubt hair dye for kirishima.

"I always keep my promises." she told him , Kirishima was overwhelmed with joy hugging the girl before taking her hand and proceeding inside. Another feeling blossomed inside of Mina but she couldn't understand what it meant but let the feeling warm her and smiled. The two of them scanned the hair dye section for the closets color they could get to the one he had, the eventually found one that wasn't an exact match but close enough as they were checking out of the store however the store clerked offered the to give him a coupon for getting his roots changed with enhanced fibers that will officially change his hair color. As the two walked out of the store, Kirishima held the coupon in his hands.

"What are you going to do?" mina asked

"I…I don't know, while I want to put my past self behind me , this is a huge step. What do you think?" Kirishima said.

"M-me? Why should I get a say in it's.. Your life isn't it?"

"You're right it is but you..are a major part of my life.. You pushed me to be better so .. I believe in your judgment." Kirishima said with that toothy smile of his, Mina's heart began to beat faster and her face felt hot. She felt so happy and confused at that moment that she almost completely shut down at his words. So she offered him a sarcastic comment.

"Well it will beat spending money every now and again for hair dye." she said trying to garner a laugh slapping him on the back but his face only fell at her response. He was trying to be serious and here she was making jokes, she recomposed herself and spoke again.

"I think…it should ultimately be up to you to decide just know I'll respect you no matter how you try and frame yourself." Mina said with honesty, looking the boy in the eyes.

"Thank you." was Karishma's only response and the rest of the trip back to their class was mostly in silence but it was a pleasant one both of them figured. With Kirishima and Mina back the crew all decided to leave and head back to A-city.

When the group got back to A-city and towards their rooms they found a letter from the association themselves, it was again another apology letter trying to explain the situation to the teens but what really got the group's attention was at the end the association offered the teens a whole buffet.

"They're trying to buy us off." bakugo said, balling up the paper in his hands.

"Maybe but we shouldn't be rude and go." Momo said.

" YAHOO, free food!" Mineta yelled.

So the class got ready to go eat, the location of the restaurant was near the outer edge of A-city. As the students opened the door, they were greeted by the staff and proceeded to their seats. There were two tables capable of seating ten each. Both tables were semi-circles so the whole class were able to sit with each other. As the class got seated a waiter approach them and explained how the place works, they would be continuously served numerous foods ranging from chicken, lamb chops, salads, sausages, fries, shrimp, and a host of other delectable as long as the light by their desk remained green and to tap the screen and turn red when you want to stop or are full, drinks will be given upon request as well. With all of that out of the way the waiters began bringing the group of twenty teens a host of foods and drinks. After eating for sometime the class began discussing more intimate details about the fighting that had transpired between the two teams and the monsters.

"You guys should have seen him, kaminari was all like "protect her" and zoomed off." Kirishima mentioned before stuffing his face again.

"Call down Kirishima, you act like you haven't eaten in forever. You too sato.`` Mina said as she watched the two boy's completely devour the food given to them she was pretty sure they were on their third meal at this point.

"It's part of our training to build muscle, we have to pack on some weight to sustain it. It's what darkshine said we should do. Proteins, vitamins, calories all of it needs to go into overdrive." sato said before digging into his food again where Kirishima picked up where he left off.

"Normally we have pig gods meals to sustain us they're ultra high dense meals, just half of them would probably equal the amount we are eating now."

"I see." mina said

"Well back to kaminari, what was that out there? You were all glowy and electrified?" Toru asked.

"I…I don't even know really, It just happened. I really wanted to move at that moment and so I did." Kaminari said playing with his food somewhat. Taking a courtesy glance at Jiro, their eyes met for a moment before she turned her attention away.

"Oh? And pray tell who did you need to save so badly?" mineta asked

Kaminari didn't say he didn't want to put her on the spot but while he was in his mind wondering how he would answer the question someone predictably blurted it out.

"It was jiro!" Mina said, laughing at the look the two of them gave her before shrugging her shoulders.

This got the usual response from her classmates which was a lot of teasing from everyone involved, at least the vocal ones. She looked around catching kaminari's gaze for a moment who seemed genuinely sorry for the circumstance but she wasn't mad at him in fact she was still happy that he somehow unlocked a new power just to save her but the attention and what the other were saying still ticked her off and embarrassed her she looked around trying to find a new target she could divert attention to she locked her eyes on uraraka and deku sitting next to each other and pondered exposing their relationship but thought better of it but something else caught her eye at the same time on uraraka's knuckles were 4 pink rectangular boxes they looked similar to her quirks but those were on her finger tips not her knuckles.

"He may not have been the only one that got a new power, what are those on your knuckles uraraka?" jiro pointed out, making everyone turn their attention to the brunette.

"What are you-" uraraka began as she looked at her knuckle and true to the girl's point, there were four pink rectangles similar to her quirk, she cautionary touched them individually before giving them all a single press she felt heavier the feeling felt almost familiar, she pressed her hand down on it four more times and she confirmed it.

"Yup, these do the direct opposite of what my fingers do." uraraka confirmed before trying to release the traditional way and not finding luck she slammed her knuckles together and released that way instead.

"So they increase gravity on a target you hit?" midoriya asked

"Apparently." uraraka replied simply, this opened the floodgates of questions on what happened or how this was possible.

"I..I have no idea what could have happened, I'm sure it wasn't there before or during the monster fight" Uraraka assured.

"Well if kaminari's powers were awakened by his love for jiro(pause as both jiro and kaminari scream "hey" at her), then I can only assume something similar happened with you." Toru said her face was invisible but the implication was there. Uraraka and midoriya face's grew red.

"Umm … I have no Idea what you are talking about.`` Uraraka said, stuttering slightly.

"Oh I might have a clue." Jiro said , which scared the two teens even more both sitting up straighter.

"SO YOU DID HEAR SOMETHING! Tell me what you know." Mina said in an outburst from her chair.

"That's not my choice to make." Jiro said looking back over to Uraraka and Midoriya, the two were completely embarrassed and thoroughly jittery. Uraraka took a breath before finally raising her hand along with midoriya's and stating.

"OK, I asked Midoriya out and we're dating now. Are you happy?" Uraraka said with a huff, the class all began clapping for the two and praised them for finally getting together.

"It was so obvious I don't know why you two didn't just get it over with." bakugo said.

"Sounds like someone's jealous." Mina remarked.

'Hah! Me jealous of the nerd over there? Get over yourself." bakugo replied

"That "nerd" got a girl before you did need I remind you." Toru pointed out.

"Tch, no girl has been worthy of me. That's all, I need someone that is on my level and that can actually keep up with me. None of you looser or anyone else at the school fit that bill.'' Bakugo replied smugly but internally his mind flashed to that silver ninja chick for a brief moment for some reason.

"It sounds to me like you want to be bossed around, ribbit." Tsu remarked.

"Omg, tsu you may be on to something could the loud and abrasive bakugo be a cover for being a sub?" Mina teased, making everyone laugh at the table before being halted by a miniature explosion from the blonde boy.

``You better say sike right now." bakugo said threateningly, holding his hand up in a threatening pose, mina immediately apologized but tsu was unmoved by the threat.

"What does sub mean? I assume it stands for submissive but that is the last thing I would refer to bakugo as`` Todoroki asked in confusion.

"I too am confused." Momo commented. Earning a sigh from everyone in the class.

"Oh my sweet summer child, we were talking about in the bedroom." Toru remarked. Momo seemed to get it at that moment but Todoroki still seemed a bit confused.

"What would a change in location do? And why the bed room specifically? Is he claustrophobic?" Todoroki questioned earning a couple of laughs.

'You'll learn when your older." mina said through her laughter

"Wait, if both of them awakened their powers through love(again a pause as jiro and kaminari loudly groaned) then doesn't that mean bakugo loves someone as well? After the war he had that new cluster ability." mineta pointed out.

"What really man have you been holding out on us?" kirishima asked

"Did you not hear what I just said shitty hair!? Nobody interested me in that damn school or anywhere else." bakugo yelled back.

"So what sparked your power?" Sato asked, bakugo grit his teeth and took a slight glance at Midoriya before looking away.

"I don't have to answer you." bakugo retorted before continuing to eat.

"My brother…..used to have red flames like fathers and mine but now they're blue so love may not be the only way." Todoroki commented, the comment silencing everyone in the room and noticeably bringing down the cheerful mood to a somber note.

"Sorry …I didn't mean to interject with something like that." Todoroki said.

"No, no it's ok todoroki, I think we're all just surprised you trust us enough to share that information with us…I know the topic is probably difficult for you to bring up." Momo comforted him. Getting a small smile and nod from the boy in return.

'Todoroki maybe correct as well, I think I remember reading in that book hawks gave us about the liberation front that there is something called a quirk awakening and it can be achieved through hard work or a feeling of extreme emotion , or a combination of the two." midoriya commented thinking.

"Does that mean that each of us has the possibility for this so-called quirk awakening?" tokoyami asked

"Maybe? I mean if bakugo, kaminari, and uraraka have developed it I see no reason why the rest of you can't." Midoriya replied, this made excited murmurs grow through their entire classroom, everyone talking about what their quirk evolution would be and how they could achieve it. The mood was right back where it once was and kept for the remainder of the day as the teens finished up eating and left back to their rooms. Everyone went back to their rooms besides the blonde bomber again he walked down the halls of the association going towards his usual training spot before he was halted by a familiar voice.

"Bakugo….Can I….. train with you." the blonde turned around to only find the tail guy standing there in his karate gi.

"Psh..as if go ,train by yourself." bakugo remarked before turning back around to walk away.

"If you're just scared, just say so." ojiro said trying to tempt a response, bakugo nearly took the bait as well, turning with such quickness and almost yelling out a reply but the explosive teen thought better of it before turning back around.

"There would be no point, you'd just slow me down." bakugo said before walking away again, Ojiro didn't stop him; he balled his fist in frustration before turning down a different hallway towards another training room area.

"That was pretty harsh." bakugo heard that familiar feminine voice again but couldn't find where the giant was hiding.

"It was the truth, training with someone weaker than you won't help you get stronger. Silver chain, ``Bakugo said as he turned the corner and stared at the giant behemoth.

"You learned of me?" the girl asked.

"Might as well since I've seen you a lot around here. A-class rank 11 pretty high." bakugo commented

``Indeed and you king explosion dynamite A-class rank 20." the girl offered in return.

"You may be higher than me but you're not stronger than me, the association simply made a mistake is all." bakugo commented

"I am a great deal stronger than you.. If I truly wished for it." the giant girl seemingly disappeared from his line of sight before somehow magically appearing from behind him a blade slowly going down the side of his neck.

"You would already be dead." she whispered in his ear before removing the blade and walking away, bakugo was left speechless and his heart pounding in a strange feeling of excitement/rage/and something else. He shook himself free of whatever spell that binds him before walking away towards his designated zone the day only proved one thing for himself that he wasn't training hard enough.


Ojiro finally found a suitable training arena and got to work it was in the style of a dojo and their lot of training dummies ready for him to take his anger out on he punched and kicked and lashed out with his tail at several of the posts before repeating the movements again and again his mind swarming with how powerless he was still was. no matter how much he progressed he never seemed to be able to catch up to them. He was interrupted from his training when the door to the training room opened up again and his heart stopped, all the negative thoughts seemingly going away for a moment in time as he laid eyes on.

"Toru?"

"I thought I would find you eventually.'' Toru remarked stepping inside, ojiro noticed that this was the first time he saw her in her own karate gi. It was similar to his except there was a symbol on her upper right chest which he assumed was for her masters school and she had a whitebelt compared to his black belt.

"What are you doing here?" ojiro asked.

"I..was worried about you, you seemed upset earlier." Toru replied.

"I'm fine." ojiro commented keeping his response simple.

"Are you sure?" toru pressed.

"Positive. Why wouldn't I be?" ojiro asked.

"Because you seem to be making the same face I did when we got here." Toru said, making Ojiro pause for a moment, she approached him.

"You're not weak, you know that right?" Toru said to no response.

"There's always going to be someone out there stronger than you no matter how hard you try." Toru reasoned again, no response.

"Don't push yourself too hard, it will only hurt you in the long run." toru said

"But I need to get stronger now. If I'm going to protect anyone with a quirk like mine I need to try twice as hard to keep up with everyone else. " ojiro said.

"I understand that and I want to get stronger and be more useful to everyone too but we have to be patient about this and be calm. What you were just doing wasn't training you were just angry ``Toru replied, ojiro took a deep breath to calm himself and look at her again.

"You're right, thank you."

"You're welcome, now let's train together shall we?"

"Sure."


That turtle creature's beam slowly inched closer to her started enveloping her whole feeling as if her skin was being striped off layer by layer. The pain was so excruciating that it forced her to wake up. Jiro woke up in cold sweats and out of breath it was nearly 4 in the morning judging by her clock. She sat there in her bed calming herself down before deciding to go out and get some water as she was passing by his door. She was tempted to knock on it, almost working up the courage before dropping it and proceeding on towards the kitchen. She approached the kitchen and low and behold he was there and spotted her.

"Couldn't sleep?" Kaminari asked , and she nodded in return.

"Me either." Kaminari continued.

"Was it about…you know." jiro gestured with her earphone jack moving in a circular motion.

"Me, not getting there in time. The creature switching up the attacks on us, ect.`` Kaminari murmured.

"Oh I see."

"You?"

"The same thing I suppose just on the other end." she said with a forced laugh before looking at the yellow hair teen again.

"Is it true? You know ….that you "awakened" because of me?" jiro asked. her jacks clicking together.

"Yes, when I saw you in danger I just had to move…you're really special to me and I wanted to protect you."

"And is that because you….lov-like….me?" Jiro askes hesitantly. There was a brief silence between the two as they looked each other in the eyes.

"Yes." was all kaminari said in response, jiro had no words to say in that very moment but her body moved for her pushing her into his arms the two embraced in a tight long hug before separating again, a tear threatened to drop from one of her eyes

"Can I take that as you feel the same?" kaminari asked , jiro chuckled to some before pecking the boy on the cheek.

"You can take that as I'm warming up to the idea. Now get to bed."

'Yes ma'am." Kaminari replied with a bright smile and a fake salute. Making her roll her eyes at him, just as he left from around the corner she felt her entire body relax , she grabbed a cup of water, drank it and then left back for her bed. Hopefully the idiot doesn't get too giddy from this she thought as she went to sleep.

So the awakenings begin!

full disclosure I'm definitely planning on giving everyone their own awakening in this story but it won't follow the typical way awakenings are discovered they will happen in different ways so it doesn't become predictable. (I have Ideas on what the 1As awakenings are but feel free to list some of yours and I could change my mind on them, someone had already changed my mind for one for mineta as an example.)

The final chapter of month one but hold on are we forgetting someone? or someone's? two people seemingly disappeared I wonder what they are up to?
