My Hero Academia: Rise of a Hero/ an MHA Musical
Act 1-Scene 2 the story before the Story (UA Entrance Exams)
(middle curtain closes on set as the cast is now "backstage" getting prepped for the next scene. STUDENTS are moving set pieces and playing with the curtain. URARAKA approaches IZUKU and smiles.
URARAKA:
Wow! Deku that was amazing! The way you hit that note! So cool! (she blushes slightly but smiles)
IZUKU:
(blushes) Oh, thanks Uraraka. I mean, it could've been better but I'll keep trying. I think I saw that kid you were talking about too so that's what I chose to focus on. It really helped!
URARAKA:
(blushes) well, I'm always happy to help you out Deku. You've always been my hero, since the entrance exams when you've saved me you know?
IZUKU and URARAKA both blush and look away from each other before URARAKA laughs loudly and punches his arm)
URARAKA:
Of course, you know that was super cool until you, you know, fell to the ground with all your limbs broken. That's why I had to save you back! (Uraraka laughs and strikes a "heroic pose")
IZUKU sputters for a bit before sheepishly smiling
IZUKU:
Yeah, sorry about that. I always seem to cause worry huh?
BAKUGOU:
Yo Deku! What the hell was that huh?!
URARAKA seeing the tension between the two steps inbetween and glares at BAKUGOU. IZUKU rolls his eyes and BAKUGOU sneers.
BAKUGOU:
What the hell was that supposed to be Deku?! You were supposed to lay down on the ground after I hit you, you damn nerd! Geez! You just get everything wrong!
IZUKU
(looks embarrassed and nods) yeah, I guess so. I just got caught up in-
URARAKA:
(scoffs) oh please. You have no room to talk Bakugou. You were getting into a fight with Todoroki on stage! If Iida hadn't been there-
BAKUGOU:
Shut it Pink Cheeks! That only happened because Icy Hot stole my lines!
IZUKU:
(gives a quiet sigh of frustration) we've been over this Kacchan. That part is Todoroki's. All Might decided he wanted to give Todoroki more lines before-
BAKUGOU:
Shut up Deku! Who asked you?!
IZUKU grits his teeth but says nothing. URARAKA gives a sigh of frustration
URARAKA:
Geez. Seriously, why do you two fight all the time? (URARAKA looks offstage) looks like we're getting ready for the next set piece and they need me there. Can I leave you two for two minutes without you getting into a fight? (she turns to IZUKU) please?
IZUKU gets embarrassed but nods. BAKUGOU sneers but gives a disgruntled nod
BAKUGOU:
Don't tell me what to do Pink Cheeks! (mutters)
URARAKA rolls her eyes again before giving IZUKU a look of concern before running off. As she runs off, LIGHTS DIM slightly TO BLUE [REMEMBERING FLASHBACK SEQUENCE])
URARAKA:
Geez. It's like the entrance exam all over again.
IZUKU and BAKUGOU look at each other with disdain (BAKUGOU) and frustration (IZUKU) as the blue lights put a spotlight on both boys. As they stand there, there is an ECHO of ALL STUDENTS IN CLASS 1-A as they stop and turn to stare at the boys. The BLUE LIGHT is centered on IZUKU and BAKUGOU while a spotlight is on IZUKU. ALL STUDENTS start talking (almost like gossipping)
CLASS 1-A:
Hero course Entrance Exams
(IZUKU and BAKUGOU put on black jackets over their UA uniforms)
U.A. Japan
(IZUKU picks up his yellow backpack, NOTEBOOK and begins to mime walking and writing as he walks)
(IZUKU slouches over and looks much more nervous as he bumps into BAKUGOU who quickly pushes him out of the way of the SPOTLIGHT to take it for himself)
BAKUGOU:
Out of the way Deku
(BAKUGOU glares at IZUKU as another SPOTLIGHT comes on IZUKU. TWO SPOTLIGHTS NOW HIGHLIGHT IZUKU AND BAKUGOU as they stand next to each other but not facing each other. IZUKU is on the right, BAKUGOU is on the left. Everything else besides these two characters are in BLUE LIGHT [as this is a flashback])
IZUKU:
Oh, hey Kacchan
(IZUKU steps out of the way of the SPOTLIGHT, but it continues to follow him and gives a slight bow of respect)
BAKUGOU:
Still tryna get into U.A.?
(BAKUGOU glares behind him and refuses to acknowledge IZUKU)
IZUKU:
Yeah, That is the plan…
(IZUKU stares off away from BAKUGOU. Both characters are looking in opposite directions, refusing to see each other)
BAKUGOU:
You know you'll never make it
You'll die in the exams
You can never be a hero
(BAKUGOU gets more and more angry but still refuses to look in IZUKU'S direction. As each line is said, BAKUGOU becomes more enraged as he walks to the right, SPOTLIGHT follows him. IZUKU in contrast walks to the left passing BAKUGOU and clenching his backpack tighter)
IZUKU:
Someone told me I can
(brief silhouette of ALL MIGHT is shown on the balcony as IZUKU looks up in reminder as he reaches CENTER LEFT)
BAKUGOU:
Tch
(crosses arms)
IZUKU:
Kacchan,
We used to be friends
I don't understand why it had to end
We used to both dream of being heroes
To save, win and defend
(IZUKU turns to BAKUGOU but doesn't take a step forward. He's scared but wants to try and make peace. IZUKU clenches at his jacket before reaching out a hand to BAKUGOU [just like when they were kids]. BAKUGOU turns at this and pushes away IZUKU's hand roughly before turning his back again to IZUKU)
I don't get why working together will no longer work
(IZUKU steps forward toward the audience but now his back is to BAKUGOU as he holds his backpack tighter)
(pause)
You didn't become like this until you got your Quirk…
(IZUKU almost whispers this and gives a look of frustration and almost jealousy as he holds his hand out in front of him and clenches his fist)
BAKUGOU
Shut up, nerd!
(BAKUGOU turns to IZUKU and pushes him, holding his jacket and threatening him, [characters spin in accordance until they reach their previous positions {IZUKU-CENTER RIGHT, BAKUGOU CENTER LEFT} this should be throughout this sequence until reaching "walk away deku"])
Look,
Most heroes show they're destined to be great when they're young
You're showing up to the party late
What,
you think you're All Might's son?!
(BAKUGOU threatens IZUKU who looks frightened and tries to push off BAKUGOU but is unable to. BAKUGOU grabs IZUKU'S NOTEBOOK and throws it on the ground, stepping on it as he threatens IZUKU and rubbing it into the ground. IZUKU attempts to stop him but is unable to)
You want to be a hero?
Go dive off a building
(BAKUGOU pushes IZUKU back CENTER RIGHT who falls down)
Pray in your next life
You'll be born with something!
(BAKUGOU turns his back to IZUKU and grits his teeth in anger as he stomps the book one more time before walking a few steps off to CENTER LEFT)
IZUKU:
(angry)
Kacchan, I never once said that I was better than you
Geez, you're so infuriating
When all I do is look up to you
(from the ground IZUKU looks up to BAKUGOU who has his back turned to him. IZUKU gets up slowly and picks up his notebook while glaring at BAKUGOU. IZUKU rubs his face from crying as he stands up and attempts to reach out to BAKUGOU again)
BAKUGOU:
Walk away Deku
(BAKUGOU turns to IZUKU and holds out his hand in a threatening motion)
IZUKU:
But, Kacchan
(holds out his hand in an attempt for a handshake)
BAKUGOU:
Take one more step, and you'll taste my explosion
(BAKUGOU gets into a fighting position and IZUKU flinches before BAKUGOU takes one step toward CENTER stage and IZUKU takes a step back. SPOTLIGHT falls off of IZUKU [who is now in BLUE LIGHT] POV has now shifted to BAKUGOU [BAKUGOU has became the "Main Character"] While this is going on, the stage should be set with a few chairs and a podium for the next part of this scene)
(End of Izuku's Flashback)
(Beginning of Kacchan's)
BAKUGOU:
(snarky but also worried)
(BAKUGOU'S INSECURITIES begin to play around him as student's whisper [in his head] )
Deep breath
ECHO:
Gotta get the highest score
BAKUGOU:
Once more
ECHO:
Only the best if you do more
BAKUGOU:
You know that you're the best
ECHO:
Only the best can be number one
BAKUGOU:
If you get the highest score
ECHO:
If Deku beats you, then you're done.
(SPOTLIGHT returns to IZUKU who has taken a step forward looking more brave now. BAKUGOU becomes angry as the INSECURITIES fade back into background characters. RETURN TO IZUKU POV {IZUKU has returned to being the "Main Character")
IZUKU:
I'm gonna try and beat you
(IZUKU attempts to smile at BAKUGOU to show that he's gotten stronger as he clenches his fist)
BAKUGOU:
(laughs) Don't you even try
Come near me and I swear to you you'll die
(BAKUGOU glares at IZUKU with a nasty smile on his face, clenching his fist. IZUKU looks frightened but is not backing down as he stares at BAKUGOU scared but glaring at him too. They are staring at each other looking like they're about to fight)
PRESENT MIC:
(cuts in between IZUKU and BAKUGOU [because like any good teacher he recognizes the start of a fight] and SPOTLIGHT recedes as light remains tinged in blue but becomes mixed with white light {still flashback but now 3RD PERSON POV} The middle stage now is revealed to have a few chairs and a podium on set)
All right boys and girls
It's time!
(PRESENT MIC hands both boys a slip of paper and gives them both a look that says "no more trouble out of you.")
IZUKU/BAKUGOU:
It's time
(the two boys are glaring at each other but go to sit down and are sitting next to each other. BAKUGOU glares at IZUKU who flinches but sits down next to him anyway, bowing his head in apology. Along with BAKUGOU and IZUKU, other STUDENTS have started to file in: URARAKA, AOYAMA, KIRISHIMA, SHOJI, and IIDA who is the closest to the audience sitting CENTER RIGHT)
PRESENT MIC:
(gets psyched up with some energy and turns to the "audience" [body should be halfway turned to the actual audience] holds a mic and stands behind the podium. Gets excited when speaking to the students. STUDENTS show no response. BAKUGOU and IZUKU each show distaste and boredom (BAKUGOU) and awe and excitement (IZUKU).)
It's time,
It's time!
Yo listen up!
I'm Present Mic, I'll tell you how to pass
And pray, boys and girls, you end up in our hero class
You've got three types of robots
Expect nothing less
Cause in this place you better race
N' become the best!
Lemme hear you say-
IIDA:
(hand shoots up in the air and interrupts PRESENT MIC. IIDA Bows and puts his other hand on his chest in a respectful motion. His hand remains in the air as he stands)
Excuse me, my name is Tenya Iida
but I see here that there's four
Is this a mistype?
That's an error I won't stand for
Also! The kid with the mutter
(IIDA turns to IZUKU and points to him. BAKUGOU growls and turns away)
Will you please just stop it!
your stuttering is disrupting
So show some decorum,
And shut it! (enunciate)
IZUKU:
Sorry!
(IZUKU bows quickly before becoming flustered. BAKUGOU crosses his arms and looks more upset at IZUKU being noticed by another student. IZUKU, IIDA, are now standing. SPOTLIGHTS are on both of them and PRESENT MIC)
PRESENT MIC:
Yo, yo, thanks for your call listener
That other robot there, is just a zero pointer
PRESENT MIC points to the other robot and holds up a zero with his hand.
ALL:
Oh
ALL STUDENTS nod in understanding and surprise.
PRESENT MIC:
You can take it out if you really want
But earn you some points (through teeth) yeeeah…it will not
PRESENT MIC looks at the students and shrugs his shoulders before scratching behind his head about the zero point robot.
IIDA:
Understood
IIDA sits down
PRESENT MIC:
Alright, nothing more
Here's the schools mantra
To pass this test
Go beyond PLUS ULTRA!
PRESENT MIC makes a motion for the mantra of the school as it flashes above him. None of the students respond except looking confused.
IZUKU:
Time to show what it is I can do
IZUKU gets up from sitting down and clenches his fists with determination. SPOTLIGHT on IZUKU
BAKUGOU:
Shut up and just die
BAKUGOU gets up and pushes IZUKU back down into the seats. Forcibly taking the SPOTLIGHT. BAKUGOU is now alone as competitors begin to walk off.
Damn Deku (said under his breath)
IZUKU rolls his eyes and walks off with the others grabbing UA gym jacket and sliding it on with the rest of the competitors. BAKUGOU watches IZUKU before sliding on his jacket and going to the opposite side of the stage. IZUKU is now on STAGE LEFT with URARAKA, IIDA, and a few competitors. BAKUGOU is now on STAGE RIGHT with the rest of the competitors.
He thinks that he's better
Well, I'll prove that he's wrong
When I pass with flying colors
And he fails! 'Cause he belongs
Under me!
BAKUGOU stares at IZUKU and glares at him as he turns to focus on his own entrance exams.
IIDA:
That kid's just a distraction
What is he doing here?
IIDA stands glaring at IZUKU with his back toward BAKUGOU. There's a stern look of annoyance on IIDA's face as he glares at IZUKU.
ALL MIGHT:
(echo)
LIGHTS TURN YELLOW as IZUKU and BAKUGOU both look off to the OFFSTAGE, their fists clenched as they stand back to back on each other, IZUKU looking worried but determined/ BAKUGOU looking angry and frustrated.
Put the power into action kid
Show everyone you belong here.
ALL MIGHT appears on the left apron and crosses his arms as he looks at IZUKU who clenches his fist and nods.
