Midoriya hummed to himself as he walked up the path towards U.A., a few students in groups ahead of him. He hadn't seen any of his classmates though, so he was just walking alone at the moment.
A sudden cry of shock caught his attention though and he turned to see Yaoyorouzu falling forward, dropping a pile of books. He reacted before he realized, rushing over and grabbing her by the shoulders to steady her.
"I got ya." He said quickly, pulling her back onto her feet. The tall teen turned surprised, before a smile came onto her face. "Are you alright? "
"Ah, Midoriya, thank you! Yes, just lost my balance." She said, as the two started picking up her books, which Midoriya held onto half of so she could actually see.
"Want a little help?" He laughed, and the girl nodded her head thankfully, the two setting off towards the school again. "A-are these all your school books? Seem's a little excessive."
"One can never be too prepared!" Yaoyorouzu said with a determined gaze, and Midoriya shrugged. As they walked, the taller teen turned to him, trying to think of how to end the silence. "So, are you looking forward to class today?"
"O-oh! Yeah, as long as I don't get paired with Kacchan again, I think I'll really enjoy hero class today." He said with a grin, missing the slight frown that came over his classmates face. "You?"
"I'm quite looking forward to it myself. Though I suppose I always have been the odd one out in terms of enjoying education." The girl said with a light blush, and Midoriya raised an eyebrow, before giving her a reassuring smile.
"G-good to know I'm not the only one then." He laughed, and after a moment the creation girl giggled as well. They quickly came upon their class and the greenette gave the girl her books back while opening the door. "Here."
"Thank you again, Midoriya." Yaoyorouzu said with a little hum of approval, and the boy scratched the back of his neck.
"Don't mention it." He shrugged. After she walked in, he followed and took his seat at his desk. He really was looking forward to hero class today, he just had a feeling it would be something to remember.
Midoriya coughed and hacked up water as he clutched his stomach, sitting on the wooden floor of sinking boat. After he got the water out of his lungs, he propped himself up against the wall and groaned as Mineta suddenly crashed down in front of him violently. 'Well I wasn't wrong. I'm gonna remember this for a long time… Just not for any good reason.'
He grimaced as he looked around the facility, he was in. U.A's Unforseen Simulation Joint, or USJ for short. Everything had been just fine until ten minutes ago.
1-A had all been excited when Aizawa announced they'd be doing rescue training, and the excitement had only grown when he revealed it would be a class taught by All Might, a popular rescue hero Thirteen and their homeroom teacher himself.
None of them could of known when they had boarded the bus, Yaoyorouzu and Midoriya helping everyone find a seat, as they all laughed and joked with one another…. None of them could of known they were walking straight into a trap.
And All Might wasn't there to help. Midoriya had quickly realized, observing Aizawa and Thirteen talking about the pro that he had gone over his time limit. It would have just been a minor disappointment normally but then the lights had started to flicker.
Black and purple mist had swirled near the centre of the facility and suddenly hundreds of thugs and villains had stepped out, all with one goal they'd soon find out.
The class had tried to run, only to be stopped by the smoke once again. Apparently it was part of a villain called Kurogiri, working on behalf of the 'League of Villains'. Kirishima and Bakugou had tried to fight, as Aizawa fended off thugs behind them but It proved to be useless and the villain had revealed his goal.
They were here to kill All Might. If they couldn't get to him though…. The students were fair game apparently, and with that many of them had been caught up in the smoke and flung across the facility.
Midoriya had been unfortunate enough to drop into the shipwreck area, falling under water where he barely was able to swim. Still, he'd been saved just in time by-
"Are you alright, Midoriya? You look sick. Ribbit." Yeah, Asui. The greenette groaned as he stood up, meeting her eye.
"I'm… fine, just really didn't agree with that teleport and sudden drop." He said, shaking his head and taking in a breath. "What about you?"
"I'm fine, but I'm worried about the rest of our class. Ribbit." The frog girl said, as Midoriya looked over the edge of the boat only for his eyes to go wide as he pulled the girl away. "Hey careful!"
"Sorry, but villains are still there." He explained, briefly noting behind the girl Mineta was cowering on the floor.
"Oh god we're going to die here." He muttered, clutching himself and Midoriya sighed. Turning back to Asui, he decided it would be best to be blunt with his thoughts.
"Asui-"
"I thought I already told you to call me Tsu?"
"Sorry, just..." Taking a breath to calm himself, Midoriya looked over to the centre of the facility again. "They said they were here to kill All Might."
"They- they're not going to be able to though! right?! All Might will kick their asses and save us right!?" The purple haired teen asked, eyes wide with fear and Midoriya grimaced.
"Honestly? I don't think they would be here if they didn't have a way to do it." The greenette said simply, and Asui nodded but her eyes dimmed, and Mineta's shaking got worse. "I think we have an advantage though."
"What do you mean? Ribbit." The frog girl asked, and Midoriya gestured to the villains surrounding them.
"I'm guessing that break in the other day is probably how they even knew we'd be here. They somehow got information during that time period. True or not though, they clearly don't have information on our quirks. Cause why else would they put a frog in water?" He explained simply, and the girls eyes lit up.
"Ah, so then…"
"They aren't making the first move because they have no idea what we'll do if they attack." He nodded, and then a softer smile came onto his face despite himself. "We need to get out of here, but I know on my own I'm just dead weight."
"Don't say that. Ribbit. You are plenty useful, even with your quirk being a little destructive." Asui scolded him for his self-pity, and the boy did smile a little wider but still…
"Maybe, but either way as long as we're still a group of three, getting out of here is going to be difficult." He then stood up tall, and quietly held his hand out. Asui looked at it surprised before looking up to meet his gaze. "So what do you say?"
She didn't give a verbal response, instead just ribbiting in a way that sounded almost happy as she grabbed a hold of his hands and as always, an explosion of light occurred.
All over, people probably saw the display as the bright fully green light surrounded the shipwreck area, and Mineta had to cover his eyes, before looking back to see a silhouette in the light.
The new fusion opened her eyes. Both green, but one a much lighter hue than the other. Her body was accentuated by the near skin-tight attire she wore, with black legs giving the impression of healthy thighs.
The feet retained Asui's flippers, while her gloves were more akin to Midoriya's. She possessed a white belt that had red pouches attached and the rest of the outfit was a solid green suit, except for the two black lines that ran from the legs, and around the back of the costume into one line before splitting apart again and coming over the shoulders, finally stopping as two large black spots across her chest.
Her face, like all fusions retained Midoriya's freckles, but had Asui's wide mouth and still had the frog girl's little mask over their eyes. Finally, the hair was the most radically different from any fusion thus far, being similar the messy variant of Uraraka's Izuraka possessed except there was also two long extra strands of hair that reached down to her back and were both tied in smaller versions of the knot Asui wore her hair in normally.
"W-what…. Are you guys? Like…" Mineta struggled with his words, clearly still trying not to have a breakdown. The fusion put a finger to her mouth, much like Asui did in thought and turned back to the water villains who seemed shocked themselves.
"A name? Ribbit. Hm…. How about Tsuku?" She suggested, as one of the water villains suddenly started moving, taking the fusions sudden appearance as a sign of attack.
Three villains made their move at the same time. The shark like villain who had nearly killed Midoriya burst out of the water and launched at the, another villain created a massive fist made from the water to attack and finally a random villain threw a harpoon towards them.
"Ribbit. Harpoon's the most immediate threat, then shark villain. Smell suggests shark villain has killed before, something to keep in mind. Water is easy to deal with, waves indicate low pressure. Ribbit." Tsuku analysed quickly, the shark villain getting inches from her before she suddenly launched herself into the air. Her tongue shot out, faster and longer than Asui's and grabbed the harpoon, discarding it into the wall across the facility where it got stuck, far away from hurting anyone. The water villain's attack followed them but they just dived through it, swimming with ease and bursting out the other side.
The shark villain had collided with the wall, but was recovering so Tsuku acted as quick as she could, tongue wrapping around the water villain and launching him into his ally. The two toppled as the fusion picked another villain at random and flung them away from the shipwreck area, before landing on the boat.
The shark and water villains started to recover but she kicked off the ground launching into the shark villain, kicking him into the distance before landing and twirling around elegantly, tongue smacking the water villain off his feet.
The tongue then wrapped around his leg, pulling him back and letting Tsuku jump and twirl her body in the air, kicking the villain in the face and knocking him out.
"Holy crapballs…" Mineta said, amazed at the display. The fusion landed next to him and quickly grabbed with their tongue before making one last final leap away from the boat.
"Time to leave. Ribbit." She said as she flew threw the air. A villain tried to follow them, using the water as some kind fuel to his quirk that let him fire out the liquid as jets from his hands.
The frog fusion threw Mineta into the air out of harms way and flipped over the jets, grabbing the villain by the arm and forcing him to move his jets so that he started spinning wildly out of control.
He naturally cancelled his power, plummeting into the ground while Tsuku grabbed Mineta once more. She dropped down, and with one final push kicked the villain in the chest and caused him to fly into a nearby tree, knocking him out.
After that, she dropped Mineta behind her and turned to him. "Get to entrance. Ribbit. We'll give Aizawa some cover."
Suddenly she stopped.
"Wait but it could be dangerous. Ribbit." Her expression changed ever so slightly, then a moment later it changed yet again. " it probably is but if they have something to stop All Might, we should at the very least warn him. Ribbit. Well I agree on that much. And if he gets into a fight with it, he'll need to focus at all costs. Right, ribbit. Let's go!"
With that, she took off leaving a thoroughly confused Mineta behind. They soon found the centre where their homeroom teacher was bravely fighting off multiple opponents trying to outmatch him.
One began to sneak up behind however, and Tsuku reacted quick, tongue shouting out and grabbing him to keep him in place. It caused the villain to shout in surprised, alerting Aizawa and letting him attack first.
After getting some distance, the pro looked over and gave a nod of thanks towards the fusion. They scurried around at a distance, very occasionally providing cover as they tried to get closer to their teacher without going to close to the villains.
"What are you two doing here?" Aizawa asked as he dodged an attack, quickly dispatching of another thug. "Get to the entrance!"
"We just wanted to make sure they knew they must have something powerful on their side. we don't know if you heard they wanted to kill All Might or not." She explained quick, flipping over a bush and battering another villain with her tongue.
"I didn't, thanks for the heads up. Now go-" Before Aizawa could finish, a manic laugh got their attention. They turned to see a villain with pure white hair and a body covered in disembodied hands. "Shigraraki."
"Wait, who is that?" Tsuku questioned, almost feeling like she recognized him somehow.
"Final boss." Aizawa stated simply as he rushed forward.
"Tch, you really are something to behold Eraserhead. Your students too." The villain cackled, before rushing forward himself. The two clashed, and Tsuku found herself holding back as she tried to think of where she knew the man from. Unfortunately, it seemed fusion made many of Izuku and Tsuyu's thoughts cloudy and hazy.
A pained shout pulled them out of their thoughts and the grimaced seeing the state of Aizawa's arm mere seconds after it was touched by the villain. They began to move to help but Aizawa used his capture scarf first, pulling the villain of his feet and hitting his head off the ground.
"Hehehehehe. Still fighting even with a broken arm. That's the one thing I can admire about heroes like you. You have such an amazing drive, too bad it will die along with you and your students." Shigaraki laughed, grabbing the scarf and destroying it instantly before jumping back. "Of course, it's not fair if I hog all the fun. Nomu!"
A loud rumbling noise got the heroes attention and they all turned to see a massive bulky creature with a bird like head an exposed beak looking at the all with cold dead eyes.
"Like my pet? He's quite well trained. For example…. Attack the teacher Nomu." Shigaraki commanded and the bird suddenly burst forward, and Tsuku had too very conflicting thoughts go through her head.
'Help Aizawa fight!'
'Leave that fight to Aizawa, deal with the thugs!'
She suddenly felt a pain in her head as the two thoughts clashed, and her body began to glow. The two halves of her wholly conflicted in what action to take and as a result…..
Tsuku's entire body turned into a green silhouette before her two component suddenly split apart, falling to the ground.
"Well well well… What's this? You're students were combined?" Shigaraki asked, and the two 1-A classmates just barely got their bearings in time to see Aizawa had taken a solid that had thrown him into floor, bloody and beaten. 'Oh no…' "Well then, can't have power boosts like that running about. We're supposed to be playing without cheats on. I'll get rid of you both for now!"
Before Midoriya even knew what was happening the white-haired villain was bolting at Asui, hand outstretched. The girl seemed to freeze up, still winded from the sudden defusing and Shigaraki got closer and closer. He could FEEL her fear.
For a brief moment, Midoriya could see it all unfold. Could see what would happen, the world turning red as Asui would be turned to dust by his power.]
Then the world was back to normal, and he reacted on instinct.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM TSU YOU BASTARD! DETROIT SMASH!" He screamed, fist lighting up with the full power of One for All as he threw his hand forward. A moment later, wind kicked up everywhere as the ground itself cracked and too his surprise…. 'My arm didn't break?'
Looking up, his face paled as he realized his attack hadn't hit Shigaraki at all. No, instead Nomu had managed to get in the way and was looking right down at him. Before he knew what was happening the bird like monster hit him hard in the chest and threw him across the room, causing him to stumble.
"That smash of yours..." Shigaraki's voice was dangerously low, almost sounding angry. "Are you a disciple of All Might's by chance? Either way, that was the last mistake of your life. Nomu…. Make it painful."
"IZUKU!" Asui shouted in a panic, and Aizawa let out a pained gasp as he reached out towards the greenette. Nomu barrelled atop him, and he realized he didn't stand much of a chance in a fight where his attacks did nothing.
He barely had time to try to stand before Nomu was right on top of him. He honestly expected to die, right then and there but before Nomu could collide with him….
A hand grasped tight around his own and he was pushed forward. On complete instinct he grabbed the hand and his power began to take effect. The last thing he saw was a pair of relieved grey eyes and raven hair.
Then, an explosion of red and green light exploded, and a new fusion was born.
