What a crazy few days. No really, the day they arrived was insane. Surviving the grip of a black hole is difficult enough, but landing on a planet in a different galaxy filled with unnatural beings who are far behind on terms of technology is not a walk in the park for the visitors from the Republic.
On top of that the long night and next day of learning about Earth's cultures and customes was grueling in a time consuming way. Growing up here would have allowed them to learn this information without breaking a sweat. Sadly they didn't have that option. Still, the work was unchallenging but tedious. Brands, celebrities, politics, and music are usually not subjects taught in school, but Naomasa saw it best fit for their situation.
"Keep studying those newspapers guys. Knowing current events around the world is important if you want to mesh with society and seem normal." the detective said.
It had been twenty-four hours since they had started their "cultural knowledge" class in the police department private office. After explaining what type of utilities the world had, he gave them hundreds of newspapers and magazines that were all up to date. Naomasa let them sleep for a few hours the morning after they started but it was back to work in the afternoon.
With a clipboard in hand, Naomasa read out their obligations for the next upcoming days. "Ahsoka, you will be going to school in the morning. Later today when I drive you to the apartment your staying at, All Might will drop off your classroom information and uniform."
"Got it!" she replied looking up from a book about samurai techniques. As long as they were here, learning new fighting styles would foward her training to be a jedi knight.
"Padme, you will be teaching government and economics tommorow. Have you been studying those books?"
"Of course, but I must say, Japan's history feels like it consists of many wars among themselves." Padme said.
"Can't deny that." Naomasa chuckled. "But at least now we're one of the greatest countries in the world. Anyway, Rex you will be on patrol with a pro hero that will show you around town. Meet them here at 3 p.m. tommorow."
"Sir with all do respect, shouldn't my squad come with me." Rex asked.
"I want them to hang low for a bit. You, Obi-Wan, and Anakin have already freaked this city out enough. Introducing seven new mysterious helmets will put to many people on edge." the detective explained. "Speaking of Anakin, I have been told by Obi-Wan that you possess vast knowledge when it comes to tools and working with machines."
Anakin smirked not wanting to brag to much , "Why certainly. I built myself a droid when I was nine after all."
"Good to know, you and R2 will be assisting Power Loader's class in a couple days. It's basically a metal shop course." he said flipping to the next page of the clipboard. "Obi-Wan, you are assisting the hero course classrooms when they are doing training exercises. Guide them to accomplishing their goals and completing objectives. You will start the same day as Anakin."
"Assisting clouded young minds is part of being a jedi. Just look how well Anakin turned out." Kenobi said pointing at his apprentice.
"That's the first time you've complemented me in a while master." Skywalker said. "Usually its Anakin don't attack now, Anakin your platoon is moving to quick, or Anakin why did you get captured."
While the two jedi did some light arguing, Naomasa continued his off his clipboard. "Last but not least are the troopers. This might seem odd but I want you all to go clothes shopping. There were only one set of clothes each I could spare for you all so it's important to get more. Take this yen All Might has so kindly spared and remember to go separately. We don't need people wondering what a group of septuplets are doing." The detective was still having a hard time understanding the clones. The army of the future were genetically engineered men who all looked like some bounty hunter?! Ridiculous as it was, he could tell them apart by the haircuts and face paint they sported. Without their unique looks, well, it would have been a little embarrassing.
"Years of training on Kamino has lead up to this moment?" whispered Hardcase to Jesse.
"Better than sleeping in a trench for three days." the bald clone whispered back.
The men and women read some more before All Might came in and escorted them to a bus outside.
"I promise tommorow will be a great day for you all! Especially you young Ahsoka." All Might beamed with joy in his voice.

"Beep boop bloop beep bleep." R2 sounded off waking everyone in the apartment. His astromech feet banged against the wooden floor in exited rhythm.
Like he said the night before, Naomasa drove them to an apartment building a few miles from his office. They were buzzed in and told to go to the very top floor where the spacious rooms were. All Might seemingly spared no expenses for his new guests. The two apartments were connected to each other by a closed door that attached the living rooms together. Both of them were identical in every way from the eight bedrooms, kitchen, and four bathrooms each. To say the least, it was paradise. The group decided to split the rooms up by clones and non-clones before heading off to bed.
R2 woke his roommates up at six in the morning like Anakin ordered him to. Ahsoka and Padme needed to get an early start because of their school responsibilities and classes to teach, Skywalker and Kenobi excuse for waking up was wanting to explore the city some more, this time in disguises.
In the kitchen they found fruit in a basket with a note labeled All Might.
"Truly a wholesome man." Padme said staring at the contents inside. It was filled with fruits they had learned about the night before. Fuji, grapes, apples, and sudachi lined the basket.
"Won't hurt to eat this for breakfast!" Anakin exclaimed happily.
The rest agreed and grabbed plates to dig in. After conversing for several minutes the connecting door opened and out walked Rex in full armor.
"Goodmorning you all." he said saluting.
"At ease captain. Where are your men?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Letting them sleep for a little longer. Just wanted to know if you had any assignments for me before three in the afternoon." Rex explained.
"None Rex. If anything it would be appreciative that you go relax. Don't overwork yourself." Anakin said.
"Uhmmmm... I'll see if I can sir." Rex said turning around and leaving. In his head he was asking himself how to relax. Being bred for war and nothing but war tends to make you a stressed person.
"Anyway you two need to get your clothes on and head to school." Obi-Wan said.
"Don't worry master we know. Forgetting this moment is almost impossible." Ahsoka giggled.
While the padawan put on her uniform the senator had to make a major wardrobe decision. Wanting to look not to fancy, Padme eventually decided on wearing the freshly washed brown pants and shirt with the red jacket she wore when All Might found them in the woods.
The girls came out of their rooms and met Anakin at the front door. "These are the communicators Naomasa gave us." Handing the two the rectangular devices, "As you should know they are called phones. We use them to call each other. Our numbers are already labeled in it thanks to Naomasa so call that person by tapping the touchscreen."
"Thanks master." Ahsoka said taking the phones from Anakin and giving one to Padme.
"Don't worry to much Ani, we know what were doing." the senator replied opening the door and leaving.
"Bloop beep boop" R2 asked the jedi.
"Yes I am a little worried about them, but they are strong and smart. We also have more important things to worry about like figuring out how to build a new ship. For now though, I need to study Earth's tools for my big day tomorrow."

After looking at a map or two, the walk towards the school didn't take very long. The planets people did remind them very much of Coruscant with a wide array of different shapes and sizes. The only difference was that they were all still considered the same species.
"I think I found U.A." Ahsoka said pointing to a building down the street. Heading inside were students dressed in the same type of uniforms as the padawan.
"Remember All Might said to report to the principal's office first." Padme reminded Ahsoka.
Walking through the hallways, the two were met with a few gazes. No one had noticed the orange girl and teacher before. Must be new to the school.
The pair continued walking until they found a double door labeled Principal Nezu. Padme knocked a few times and a voice told them to enter. Sitting behind a desk on the other side of the office was a small white rodent of some sort wearing a suit and tie. A scar covered his right eye smilingly inflicted from a knife or sword.
"You two must be Ahsoka Tano and Padme Amidala. I hope your both not to shocked by my appearance as an animal principal." Nezu said.
"Not at all sir." Padme smiled back. Seeing a wide variety of species was not a rarity for her being a senator and all. Same for Ahsoka.
"Good to hear. Usually I have to get that out of the way first. Anyway, I hear you both transferred over from The United States. Tell me why." Nezu said grabbing a pen off his desk.
"We had an opportunity to go along with my co workers the three fake vigilantes from the hero school in Seattle, Washington." Padme lied. It was the location that Naomasa finalized on when picking a fake address. The Seattle Hero Institute (SHI) was not known for being a very prominent academy for heroes. No one would know who these people were and hopefully take their word and forged papers for the truth.
"I'm a little embarrassed to say that I'm not very keen on the information in and out of SHI. Can you tell me a little about it?" The principal asked.
The two may have looked cool and confident on the outside, but mentally they were wanting to break down. "Be smooth about the answers you give and this... mouse may not notice." they both thought.
"We know it's not necessarily one of the most notable hero schools in America, but were here to represent it well." Padme said avoiding the question.
Nezu glanced at his clock, "Will you look at the time. Class is going to start soon so I might as well talk with you both some other time. For now, here is your rooms you are assigned to." the mammal reached into his drawer and pulled out a couple sheets of paper. "Need help finding the classes?"
"No thank you. I'm sure we can manage." Ahsoka answered.
"Very well. The both of you have a wonderful and learning full day." The principal waved with a smile.
Closing the double door, the pair exhaled a sigh of relief.
"See you soon Ahsoka." Padme said.
"Certainly, and may the force be with you." the padawan joked.
The two walked off in opposite directions towards their class strolling towards the unknown.
Admittedly, the classroom was a bit difficult for Ahsoka to find. Though walking through the halls gave her time to ponder her expectations. Yes she had been taught math, science, and history at The Temple, but this was different. A real school with a teacher and classmates who were not jedi or clones. "Just think positively. Before I know it they will build a new ship for us to get home and it's back to destroying the CIS." she thought to herself.
Rounding the corner Ahsoka found a large door labeled 1-A. "Guess this is it." She took a few deep breaths, opened the door, and walked in.
Looking around the class, she spotted a wide variety of students. Looking towards the door, everyone turned their bodies to see this orange girl with a blue and white looking tail head.
"He...hello." Ahsoka said outloud in a strangled voice. "That didn't sound awkward at all!" she thought to herself.
"Hello!" a tall blue headed boy said standing up. "Are you new to this class?"
The togruta snapped back to reality, "Yes. My name is Ahsoka Tano" she said nervously smiling.
"I am Iida Tenya, the class president. It is a pleasure to meet you." he replied reaching out his hand to shake hers.
"Wow Mina, looks like your not the most alien looking girl in school anymore." Yuga Aoyama commented.
"Don't be so rude blondie." Jirou said turning towards Ahsoka." Did you transfer from somewhere?"
"Yes, from America. I'm probably going to be here for awhile."
"Hello Ahsoka. My name is Minoru Mineta." a short grape headed boy said leaning on a desk eyeing her up and down. "What brings you here?"
"Oh you have no idea." she thought. "I had an opportunity to transfer from SHI. I'm going to be here for at least one semester."
Just then Mr. Aizawa walked in. "Take your seats."
Everyone stopped and complied to the teacher's demand.
"You must be Ahsoka Tano. I am your new sensei Shota Aizawa. Sit next to that girl in the back Momo Yaoyorozu." he said pointing towards an empty desk to the left of spikey haired girl.
Ahsoka was not impressed by the teachers attitude and appearance. His sleep deprived eyes gave off an annoyed and cranky vibe. Never the less, she still sat in the seat she was told to go to.
Aizawa stood at the podium, "I'm sure you are all acquainted with Ahsoka now so lets get started on today's agenda. We will have regular classes right up until the period before lunch. That's when we will have the hero portion. The assignment will remain classified until I see fit. For now open up your math textbooks to page sixty-six. Has the school supplied you with one miss Tano?"
"Yes sir." Ahsoka said pulling the book out of her backpack.

The morning went by fairly well for both girls. Padme taught her class about the systems of the Japanese government to her students which listen with great interest. Little did she know, the reason the boys were attentive was that they found the new teacher to be cute.
Ahsoka on the other hand was breezing through the classwork. She had a trouble with exponents formulas, but she soon found out that sitting next to Momo had its perks. The girl was smarter than a tactical droid and was able to help the padawan with the papers.
"How are you so brilliant at this? It's truly amazing." Ahsoka said.
"Practice I guess." Momo answered. The girl knew she was a genius but bragging was not in her nature. Knowing she helped someone was enough of a mental boost for the creation hero.
Aizawa crawled out of his sleeping bag while the students were studying history notes. "Alright everyone, it's time to do some training. Everyone get dressed and meet me at Battle Center A in ten minutes." he said pushing a button that caused suitcases to come out of the wall. This time however an extra one ejected from the wall.
"Tano. Number twenty-one is yours." Aizawa informed.
"Thank you mast- I mean sensei!" Ahsoka corrected herself.
The teacher raised his right eyebrow a bit surprised. "Whatever kid."

The ten minutes went by when everyone got to the fake city. One of the popular topics was what the new girl in class was going to wear. A hero's costume helped define who they were and how popular they might be. Mt. Lady for example would probably be lesser known if her costume didn't make her EYES stand out.
Ahsoka came out of the tunnel along side Mina Ashido who was yapping away as she always does. Everyone saw she was wearing a reddish brown dress with a part above the chest revealing orange skin. Attached to her waist was an orange belt with a silver buckle and a... pink tie? The long gloves and boots were also the same color of the dress which had holes in the pantyhose creating a diamond design on her legs. Lastly her arms had more bands of the same color with more holes in the design.
The part that feteched everybody's attention was the two flashlights hooked on her belt.
"Ahsoka, I really like that costume." the tape hero commented.
"Thank you... Sero was it?" she questioned.
"You got it." the boy assured.
"Class!" Mr. Aizawa shouted grabbing attention from the students. "Today your training will consist of robots." It was setup by All Might who is in the control room at this moment. I'm splitting you all up into groups of seven."
Drawing out of a hat, he picked names and put them with random partners. Ahsoka was paired up with Momo, Denki, Ochako, Tooru, Ojiro, and Iida.
The teams were named A, B, and C accordingly.
The quirk erasing hero pointed towards Ahsoka's group. "Team A, you all have five minutes to get ready for an onslaught of hostile robots. Use your time wisely. Teams B and C, follow me to the control room."
Tano looked back at the other teams. One blonde spiky haired boy caught her attention with an antagonistic look across his face. He looked back at her almost like he was trying to snatch the padawan's soul. "Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" she thought.
"Ahsoka!" a certain voice with glasses called out.
"Oh sorry Iida, I was a little distracted." she quickly apologized turning around.
The tall boy got down to business and called everyone into a huddle like they were football players. "I think the most important thing to figure out is Ahsoka's quirk."
"Yeah we're going into this almost blind so our chances of passing will be better if we know what you can do." Ochako added.
Ahsoka fed the lie she was told to use by All Might, telekinesis.
"That's pretty neat! How much can you pick up in terms of weight?" the invisible Tooru asked.
"It depends on what I think is possible. As long as I have no mental barriers, I could lift into the tons." That part was a truth. Becoming one with the force and believing in yourself was part of being a Jedi. Nothing is too massive if you don't perceive it that way.
"Alright we need a strategy to take these robots out accordingly and diligently." the blue haired boy said doing a chopping motion with his right arm.
"He didn't say where the bots would come from." Denki stated.
"For once your right Kamirnari." Momo said with a hand on her chin.
Ahsoka turned on her command, "I say we hide in a building and find out what were up against before engaging. Tooru, walk the streets and do some recon. Ojiro is it? I need you on top of a building doing recon from above."
"Sounds like a good plan." the tail boy said.
"Great thinking Ahsoka. Now lets show the teachers what were made of! Tenya said to the squad.
(X)
"Times up! Get ready and good luck!" All Might boomed over their earpieces.
"I must say All Might, this is a very interesting test you set up. I usually wouldn't send my students into something this advance for at least another couple of months." Aizawa commented sitting in the chair next to him.
"Guns are used in plenty of major crimes. These kids need to grasp the fact that some villians don't want to punch but rather shoot a projectile at your face. Plus the bots are using low energy laser blasts Shoto. The worst they do is knock someone unconscious."
Back down in the city, the group was hiding in a building lobby peering down the block. Tooru snooped around the streets naked to anyones eyes, ready to report back incase she found the targets. Ojiro was on the roof of the fifteen-story building when he caught a glimpse of something strange. A few blocks north were about thirty to forty robots walking in columns and rows. Their heads were shaped like the level one mock robots from the entrance exam, but they had human like bodies and assault rifles in hands.
"I've got to tell the others!" the tailed boy said bolting down the staircase to the first floor. Sweaty and a little out of breath from the run, Ojiro explained what he saw to the teammates.
"Not really to surprised their armed. It's harder to outrun a gun than a fist." Ahsoka said.
"This is insane! How are we expected to destroy these guys less than month into the course?" Denki said freaking out a little in a squeamish voice.
"Guys it's fine. Were heroes right?" Ahsoka said. This seemed to boost moral in their faces. But moral was half the road to success.
"Momo, can you construct a cannon?" Iida asked as the robots could be heard getting nearer.
"Easily." And with that statement, her back started glowing ripping through her fabric. A few seconds later a working artillery battery appeared.
"What a power!" Ahsoka said astonished at what she just witnessed.
"Ochako and Ojiro, run across the street and attack them from the alleyway. Splitting their forces is our best bet!" Iida continued ordering.
Ahsoka didn't necessarily like Iida's commanding and leadership style. Anakin would always remain somewhat undemonstrative while giving commands, Iida was loud with words full of emotion and zestfulness. Still though, the padawan would be lying if she didn't find him bright.
The enemy robots walked down the street with loud metal clanking sounds from their parts. At that moment they were programmed to shoot on sight and defeat the wannabe heroes.
BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!
Momo's battery shot off like a bat out hell destroying three bots that were in its way.
"Do it now Ochako!" Ojiro shouted.
Uraraka deactivated her quirk allowing dumpsters from the alleyway to drop to Earth crushing five more bots.
"Not bad, but now that they have drawn attention to themselves can they win?" Aizawa said glaring at the screen.
"Don't judge their lack of experience to quickly." All Might simply responded. There was a reason he set this difficult test up. He needed to see "her" abilities.
Back on the battlefield Momo formed several metallic shields blocking the incoming fire.
"Any ideas anyone?" Denki yelled.
Ahsoka knew what to do now. "Just like back home." she said to herself. "Cover me!" she screamed over the gunfire and flipped over Momo's shield wall igniting her blades.
The girl started off by deflecting incoming fire back at the bots knocking a few off their feet. Next she ran at the bots full speed and sliced multiple heads in one swinging motion.
The blades perplexed her teammates as they stood in shock of the swords.
"Wow." is all Ochako could utter staring in disbelief.
Ahsoka continued mowing down the bots with elegant blocks and slices. It was truly a form of art to watch.
"Lets cover her guys!" Denki yelled charging out from cover.
The classmates got into the thick of it with Ojiro slamming his tail into a robot and Iida kicking another half way down the street. Ahsoka was still destroying the most by far with her duel lightsabers. The time she had spent with the jedi and clones was paying off well. Ahsoka was quick as the robots kept missing her while she cut the arms and heads then force pushed them into the walls of buildings. They cleared the street of the bots until their was almost nothing but scrap left in their wake.
"Ojiro look out!" Ochako shouted.
The tail boy spun around to see a robot grabbing his gun and aiming for the shot. Luckily a metal pipe hit the bot on the head shutting it down for good.
"Was wondering where you were." Ojiro said with a smile.
"You owe me one." Tooru said tossing the pipe away.
"Is everyone okay?" Iida shouted.
Everybody responded with yes which was a surprise to All Might in the booth. Not one person with majors injuries in an attack third years would have a tough time with. Magnificent!
"That team shows a lot of potential huh Shoto?" All Might gleamed.
"So far." he said.
To most, Mr. Aizawa was a fine teacher but terrible with his social skills. He never was one to get overly exited. Though it would be a lie that the two laser swords Ahsoka used weren't impressive.
"Students, dissect this fight!" All Might said standing up.
The class whispered to each other before an unlikely voice from Todoroki spoke up. "The sneak attacks to start the battle definitely helped give an advantage to Team A by destroying a few before the main conflict. Together they simply overwhelmed the bots with Tano leading the charge."
"Not a bad synopsis young Todoroki." All Might said. "Can anyone choose an MVP?"
Most students agreed that the new girl Ahsoka Tano was deserving of the title.
"She dismantled the most droids." Mina said.
"Those swords are the coolest things I've ever seen!" Eijiro added.
"I think I love her." Mineta whispered creeply to himself.
"That girl passes one test and you're all already kissing the ground she walks on. You all need to appreciate true greatness when you see it." Bakugou spoke up in an irritated tone.
"Come on Kacchan. Maybe you can be nicer about the way you say things." Midoriya said. Sadly, the response he half expected came to pass.
"Shut up Deku. You think I care about your opinion?"
"All right calm down. Team B start heading down to the city." All Might interrupted.
Meanwhile, Team A was walking towards the control room bombarding the new kid with questions.
"Where did you get those awesome blades?" Denki said. "They remind me of the ones those two guys used on the news."
"I came here with them." Ahsoka said.
"Really? That's cool and all but what are those sabers made out of?" Tooru asked.
Tano decided this was a part of her galaxy she could share with the tenns. "The name of my weapons are lightsabers."
"Lightsaber?" Ochako said.
"Yes." Ahsoka furthered explained. "It is powered by a crystal within the components that allows it to do this."
"What type of crystal allows you to do that?" Momo asked.
"A special type." Ahsoka said nervously. She couldn't allow them to know that information.
"Where would you find one?" Iida pressured with another question.
Ahsoka was internally screaming again. "Well..."
"Hey guys!" a green haired boy shouted from down the hall. Behind him were the whole of Team B
"Hi Midoriya, did you watch our fight?" Iida said walking up to his friend and giving him a firm slap on the back.
"Of course. That was awesome! You guys pulled that off so easily! Especially you Ahsoka, by the way my names Midoriya if you didn't know. I heard your quirk was telekinesis from All Might but you barely used it against the-"
"Is it remotely possible for you to not be a total nerd for five seconds?!" yelled the blonde haired boy from earlier.
"Calm down Bakugou, we're all teammates after all." Sero said.
"Shut tape arms! I could beat all these dumbass bots on my own if they let me!" And with that the angry teen marched off.
"What's his problem?" spoke Ahsoka in disbelief someone could be so rude and angry in the span of twenty seconds.
"Get used to it, you'll here his outbursts a lot." the frog girl Tsuyu said.
"What a joy." the padawan said jokingly.
"We should head up. I'm sure All Might wants to see us." Momo suggested.
The two teams exchanged goodbyes and headed off. Ahsoka was left wondering that maybe this somewhat regular school stuff was going to be bearable. At least she's wasn't getting shot at by the CIS.

3:05
Rex was sitting on a bench in front of the station. He had gotten there ten minutes early incase the hero decided to make an appearance. That obviously wasn't the case. The clone didn't always agree with orders or protocol but he did them well. After all, good soldiers follow orders. Whoever he was meeting seemed to care very little.
Taking his helmet off to breath better was out of the question knowing that he didn't want to give away his facial features to the public. At the moment, Rex attracted stares from the people who walked passed. The news did a magnificent job covering the story because everyone knew who he was pointing and staring as they went by. For the most part they kept their distance reading his body language knowing he didn't want to be talked to or messed with.
"Hi there sugar. Remember me?" called out a familiar voice.
Rex turned to his left finding the hero Midnight in the same uniform from when they first met.
"Oh no." Rex said to himself. "Not her again."
