With the cover story in place of what really took place in the botanical garden the nervousness spread through citizens. The criminal element is a constant; that truth is known world wide. What still shocks the masses is how easily any conflict could be drastically escalated with use of Quirks. Media outlets left the story as is a gang war that dot out of hand but one journalist is acting on a hunch that a certain group of boys are related to this story. Chitose Kizuki waited in the bushes along the only path the Turtle Tank took to U.A. a small camera rested in her pocket.
The Turtle Tank felt a little crowded in Hanta's opinion and not just because Todoroki and Momo are now part of the morning commute. The events of last week replaying in Blue's mind, not the ninja attack or the behemoth larger than Izuku, meeting with Endeavor had been and endeavor in and of itself; Hanta smirks from his little pun but then frowned again as Denki chuckled when Sero pushed Shōko's hand away from another random button.
"How exactly is me keeping Shōko from pushing buttons is funny to you?" He asked looking to Orange who rested his chin on the console.
"It reminds of when I'm in Melissa's workshop." Denki commented thinking back to all the cool things Melissa wouldn't let him touch in her personal hero forge. A dusting of a blush blooming on his cheeks from the simple but happy memories. Unaware of Melissa blushing atomically.
"Remember Sero. Endeavor is expecting great things from you." Izuku ribbed.
Flashback
Catching up with the rest of their friends the guys quickly make theirselves unseen and unheard knowing Endeavors views of men in general, to put it into perspective her views are less than whole.
Shōko is doing a fine job explaining to her mom how she successfully broke into a botanical garden, taking joy when Endeavor's fire flared from annoyance when she told her of Sero's plan for cover fire. Maybe, being friends with him won't be so bad.
"Then we came here."
The elder Todoroki took her tome processing the information given to her. This wouldn't be the first time Shōko has fabricated a story to get under her skin, but this. This story took the fucking cake. Who has ever heard of a man possessing a Quirk?
Men are only good for one thing. Carrying the dormant Quirk gene to their future daughters. It's true while mean don't get Quirks they still carry the Quirk-gene allowing whatever the maybe to pass down to the next daughter. Her own husband was only good for the Ice-gene his family carried and his cooking...and cleaning...and actually raise the kids. What was her view on mean again?
No, what her daughter is trying to do is piss her off with tales of ninjas and monster in the dark.
It was working.
"Where is your proof Shōko?"
A blue portal opens in the ceiling of Endeavor's office allowing Blue to flip down and land in one of the couches she had positioned at a distance from her desk.
"Right here." Hanta responds, leaning back and getting comfortable on the sofa.
The fires of hell raced out to incinerate Hanta leaving behind singed furniture, thank goodness it was made with fire Quirks in mind, and a pile of ashes.
"Oops." Endeavor said simply before sitting back in her seat in-front of the four horror stricken girls. Shōko's knuckles faded to white from the clenching of her fists.
"You kill one of my friends. And all you have to say is oops!?" Shōko yelled being held back by Yaomomo as tried to lunge at the fire-themed hero.
"Yeah, you killed me and all you have to say is oops. Wait I'm your friend? Wait I'm dead?"Hanta's head had popped out of one of drawers of the Pro Hero's desk and foe sobbed at his tragic end.
Endeavor shot another fireball at the blue ninja. Closing the drawer before it could hit, Hanta's head popped out of another one blowing a raspberry to taunt the pro before withdrawing again to dodge more gouts of flame. Again and again Blue continued to troll the number two hero in the impromptu game of whack-a-vole. Endeavor had finally reached her breaking point before screaming with jets of fire engulfing her work desk.
Breathing harshly the hero regained her composure.
"You know, for a Pro Hero, killing someone in your office should be frowned upon." Sero responds from a safe distance, leaning against the wall behind Endeavor.
"Argh! How were you doing that!?"
Drawing his sword the blue swordsman created another portal. Reaching an arm through, Hanta withdrew a snowball before nailing the shit hero…I mean number two.
The girls actually laughed in both relief their friend is alright but also because no has been able to rile-up the number two hero like this. Well except maybe Hawks. Shōko mussed.
"Doesn't matter. I'm just here because you wanted her classmates here so here I am." I don't see a reason to tell her my bro's are her too. "I could have sworn I became an overnight sensation. You know with being one of six guys to get into U.A. and obviously a classmate of the ice princess here and vanquisher of evil robot ninja. Hanta, Sero." I finish throwing my arm around Shōko before she sends a painful flash of frost over his arm as she hid the smile that still plagued her.
Endeavor continues to stare lasers into Hanta.
"You actually have a Quirk." She stated with a serious look borrowing into his soul.
"More or less." he stated.
without looking away Endeavor spoke to her youngest daughter.
"This is the boy that is trying to date you, correct?
Hanta eyes pop wider as this is news to him. He's just a friendly guy, is that against the law to be friendly.
"Hold o…" Hanta tried to correct the number two hero.
"Yes he is." Shōko quickly answers, sealing Hanta's fate with the elder Todoroki response.
"If I find you worthy enough, You will marry my daughter. Until then I will be watching your progress closely. Boy." Using the male term a insult(?) it didn't feel insulting.
Hanta wasn't to sure but he swears he could hear his brothers chuckling in their hidden spots around the office. He knows for sure Melissa is getting a kick out of this.
"I don't know how to respond to that." Sero deadpanned.
Shōko somehow adding the fury of the fiery pits of hell to her deadpan, now seeing how being friends with Sero would blowup in her face. He can always clear this up another time. Right?
Right!?
Present
Bringing his attention back to reality in time for hero training. Raising his hand after Aizawa told hinted this will be a special lesson.
"What will we be doing today Sensei?"
Aizawa held up a card that simple read rescue.
"Preparing you in disaster relief, from fires to floods." The came alive with conversation.
"Here that Big Red? We finally get to your favorite hero training."
"Oh yeah, I'm pumped. These babies were made for rescue missions." Izuku flexes his arms accidentally ripping his rolled up sleeve. "Oops. My bad."
"I know how you feel bro, this is what being hero is all about." Kirishima and in giving Izuku a bro-five. Before the could get lorded Aizawa restored order.
"I'm not done." She grouches out before pushing a button on her remote control opening the panel housing the costumes. "You can decide if you want to wear you costumes or not. As some of them are ill-suited for this activity. The training site is remote so we will be going by bus."
Izuku raised his hand.
"Sensei, my brothers and I have a rescue vehicle we would like to use. Would be allowed to use that to get the site instead of the bus?" Aizawa actually had to think about that, no student in U.A.'s past has been in possession of a vehicle of any kind let alone a certified rescue vehicle, hell even most heroes don't use cars unless it's a high speed chase. "Because it sounds like a practical idea I'll allow it but Power-Loader needs to check off on it first."
Outside
Aizawa just pulled up in the bus after texting Power-Loader to meet outside. Seeing her co-worker wait beside the bulk of her class she quickly made her way over. Aizawa took notice of the one extra girl with pink hair that stood talking with Shield.
"What do you need Eraser Head?" Power Loader question scratching her chin with one of her metal tipped fingers.
"I have a few students that want to use something called a rescue vehicle, I want you to take a look at it."
Before Power Loader could give a truck horn was heard by everyone. Looking over Aizawa bore witness to a giant metal turtle rolling towards everyone. What in gods hell is that?
"That, Ladies an gentleman, is the rescue vehicle dubbed 'The Turtle Tank' created by Purple Dragon Industries. This baby is has three layers of Titanium body armor, three different offensive weaponry and vehicles built in, along with two piloting stations and a soft-serve ice-cream machine. But don't let those soft details fool you…" she thinks three different types of weapons built into a TANK is soft? Everyone thought at Meis word choice. "The Turtle Tank can reach speeds up to 300mph in seven seconds on a stretch of road and as I said earlier the extra vehicles… Hey!"
"Hey goggles I think they got it." Izuku says pushing Mei's goggles over her eyes. " so what do you think teach?" Izuku asked Power Loader as she fawned over the marvel of transportation. Each Hamato wearing their hero costumes, seems Tenya, Mei, and Melissa were able to complete the needed upgrades to suits thanks to U.A.s resources.
Quickly recomposing herself Power Loader began her inspection of the Turtle Tank.
"While they do that everyone else line for the bus." Yaomomo ordered the rest of class.
"But not before getting your own ice-cream." Izuku called as he and his brothers handed out small cups of ice-cream.
"Wow, thanks Turtle Brothers." Sato thanks getting a little bit of a boost in strength from the sugar in the ice-cream.
"With all the treats Midori brings for the class he's like the big brother I always wanted." Tooru said to Mina as they took a seat on the bus. Her comment had reached Izuku's ears.
"He is a pretty good brother from what I've experienced. The guy will literally give you a piggyback ride if you just jump on his back." Commented Melissa sitting next to Tsuyu.
"You seem awfully close to the Orange Turtle. Ribbit." The blush on Melissa face could make the red of Kirishima's hair jealous. "Also full disclosure. I often say what on my mind Shield. Your Quirk reminds me a lot of All-Mights."
Okay Melissa time to enact the cover story Aunty-Might and you came up with.
"Would you believe I'm her secret love child?"
"I knew it!" Shōko cheered in slightly less monotone.
"Wait, if that's true. How did no one ever know of you?" Asked Yaomomo.
"Well since I was born I've been living with my dad on I-Island up until last year, when I was going to take the Support Gear entrance exam, for the longest time I thought I was Quirkless until that slime villain attack last year helped to finally awaken it, since then I've been training with the Turtuga Brothers master to learn how to fight and with Mom on how to control my Quirk, because if I'm not careful it could maybe, possibly, likely tear me apart if I'm not careful."
"Wow, see, its drawbacks like that. That makes me appreciate not having a Quirk." Kirishima said checking over the new skates Hatsume had given him. "But then again I'm not very flashy just swinging random sports equipment around."
"I don't know Kirishima. You did make quite the name for yourself at our old school, 'Red Riot." Mina teased grabbing Kirishima's bat out of his gold bag, set between the two.
"Red Riot?" Questioned Yaomomo.
"Yeah we all because…Hey where is your old bat?" She asked not seeing the old metal bat he used carry around every but a new much heavier bat.
"Oh, I gave that to a boy who's birthday was ruined by a homicidal animatronic bear." Breathing a sigh of relief internally. No one needs to know the story behind that name.
"Wait you mean the Albeartos place? Story. Now." Mina demanded with a few more classmates agreeing with her, and so both Kirishima and Melissa told the tale of War and Pizza
U.A.
"You done yet teach?" Izuku asked finishing up his notes on Power Loader.
"Almost just need to check over the weapons system and your all set." A groan from Red was her only response. He's missing out on all the awesome stuff at USJ his aunt had told them all about while growing up.
Bus
"Amazing, you guys have got to be strong to go through that without Quirks." Minerva commented imagining her male classmates in various states of battle torn clothes being in her harem.
Kirishima didn't know why but he feared someone close wanted his body. Sending a chill through his person.
"If you wanna talk about strong and flashy than you can look to Bakugo and Todoroki." Tsuyu started getting both classmates attention. "But Bakugo's so unhinged, She'd never be popular."
"WHAT'D YOU SAY YOU FUCKING FROGFACE!?" Katsumi yelled ready to lash out.
"We've only barely started socializing and already you've made abundantly clear to us the unpleasantness of your steamed shit of a personality." Melissa replied back channeling Denki's abrasive personality 'Dr. Delicate Touch.' I'm sure that's how he would reply.
"What I vulgar conversation." Yaomomo commented, surprised with Melissa's use of words.
"I think it's fun." Uraraka replied, taking rightful joy in Katsumi's roast.
"Shape up students. We're here." Aizawa ordered bringing the bus to a stop.
Entering the entrance to the monster sized building the students stunned in awe of what they found around them.
Is this Universal Studios Japan? The group asked themselves.
"Flood Zone, Land Slide Zone, Conflagration Zone, so on and so forth. Every disaster you can imagine. I built this building to simulate. I call it the 'Unforeseen Simulation Joint' For I am the Rescue Hero."
It really is USJ
"13!" Ochako cheered after spotting the space-themed hero.
Aizawa had pulled 13 to the side to discuss the absence of All-Might. Returning to the students 13 went over the danger of Quirks while Melissa messed with her phone.
"That's weird." She said quietly to herself.
"What is it?" Asked Ochako
"My phone isn't getting a signal. I wanted to show the guys what their missing." Melissa replied putting her phone away.
Meanwhile with the Mad Dogs
"Okay you boys are ready to get going to USJ." Power loader finally finished her inspection.
""Finally!"" The boys yelped jumping into the tank.
"Wait up guys I'm coming too." Mei yelled jumping into her seat next to Tent
Ya at the front of the tank as Power Loader stepped in as well closing the hatch.
"Not that I mind, dear, but why and why is you teacher in here?" Tenya question as Izuku began the drive to USJ. It was Power Loader who answered.
"Like I'm going to miss out on the debut of the first ever rescue vehicle in Japan. If this thing works half as well as your schematics say, then I know a few support gear companies that might be interested in investing."
"Oooh, funding.~" Tenya and Mei sang out.
"Although I do have one question about the design of Midoriya's seat."
"What about my seat?"
"What's with the brain-thing attached at the top of it?"
""Brain-thing?"" Everyone questioned now looking at the pink glob at the top of Izuku's seat.
…
…
…
SCRRREEEEEECCCHHHH
The brain shrieked as it dive bombed Izuku's face and latched on tight with its six stringy tentacles. Izuku in is panic to pull it off immediately let go of the controls. The tank threatened to tip over at the high speeds and erratic swerving. Two of this three brothers rushed to peel the face hugger off before it lays eggs in Izuku stomach.
Tenya acted quickly switching over the controls to himself.
In his fear Izuku had jumped out of his chair as he scrambled around the tank knocking Power Loader and his brothers off their feet as he chaotically danced about.
"GET IT OFF!...GET IT OFF!" It's so slimy!Izuku yelled over and over whenever he pulled the main body away from his face. Blue jumped onto his brothers shoulder before raining down blows.
"Get off my brother!" Hanta exclaimed before being slammed into the side of the tank.
"Punch it from the side you idiot!" Raged out Izuku gulping another breather of air Denki was quick to wedge his fingers under the brain to help pry it off.
Knowing it was about to lose those round of strength the brain let go of Izuku and try to latch onto Denki with a screech, knocking him back into Tenya chair causing a sharp swerve.
"Get off! I don't want to be a dad to chest bursting aliens." Denki screeched back at the face that he now sees trying bite his face while hands kept hold of the tentacles.
Mei had enough of this stowaway grabbing her Omni-wrench she trapped the brain between the clamps. Seeing this Power Loader took off her helmet so Mei could place the struggling creature inside. Hanta quickly opened one of the metal compartments in the tank's floor.
"Throw it in here." Tenya had stopped the tank so everyone could catch their breath.
"What is this thing!?" Exclaimed Power Loader sitting on the small hatch the angry rabid brain thing was trying to break open.
"How should we know? It just tried to eat my face!" Exclaimed Denki and Izuku.
"Whatever, Is there a way to keep this thing shut?" Tenya said nothing as he used his spider arms to move Power Loader, keep the compartment closed, and weld it permanently shut.
Everyone in the tank felt a chill as the brain thing continued to thrash inside the small space within a small space. It's screeches shrieking haunting the air around everyone. No one had to understand what the creature was screeching to know it demanded it's freedom. Power Loader pulled out her phone.
"I'm calling Aizawa, let her know the situation. Get this thing moving Red." She ordered waiting for her call to reach Aizawa only to be greeted by a voice message to call cannot be connected. "That's not a good sign. Can you make this thing go faster?" She asked Izuku, the unease she felt lightly slipped through her tone.
"Tenya?" He asks.
"Hanta." Tenya states.
Nothing else needed to be said as the crew quickly readied to drive through the nowhere zone at reach the USJ, but not before Denki turned his music to the max.
USJ
"Everyone stay back." Aizawa ordered witnessing the waves of villains filling the center of the USJ while putting on her goggles.
"Sensei, aren't there any intruder sensors?" Yaomomo asked 13. Her nerves rattling at the encounter of more villains in under a weeks time.
"Yes of course there are…" 13 trailed of wondering why none of the alarms are going off.
"Are they only here, or are there more at the school…? Either way, if the sensors aren't working it has to be one of their Quirks." Todoroki analyzed. "This place is pretty far from the campus. Plus they picked a time where there would be few people. So maybe their not as dumb as they seem. Whatever their objective is, they went through a lot of effort to pull this off." She finished eyeing the woman covered In hands.
Aizawa unfurled lengths of her scarf while giving out orders.
"13! Begin evacuation and somebody call the school!"
"What are you going to do?" 13 asked, worried about the response she would receive.
"Be a hero, duh." Aizawa replied before jump down the flight of stairs.
"You can't do it alone!" 13 yelped before a red blur began grind down the side of the stair case.
"Yes she can. She is more than an ambush fighter." Melissa reassured.
"Hahahahah, look at this to. Ranged squad. Let's move." A villain with hollowed out metal finger tips.
"Out intel said it supposed to be just All-Might and 13." Another with snakes for hair commented.
"If that's true then who are these two?" Another resembling a macabre Minotaur.
"Fools rushing to death." Hollow Point answered before trying activate her Quirk.
"Huh I can't shoot anything." MM complained unaware of Aizawa's sash wrapping around her and Hollow Point.
With a yank of her capture gear Eraser Head crashed the two villains into each other knocking both out.
"You dumasses! She can cancel you quits just by looking at ya." Taunted another villain with a mutation Quirk making her a giant stone golem with four arms.
"She cancels Quirks?! Heh heh heh. Wonder if it works on mutation type Quirks."
"No. It doesn't." Aizawa replied aiming a punch to the villains obviously softer face and feeling a satisfying crunch. Kicking the villain away Aizawa prepared to attack the one standing behind her. The students of U.A. Are amazed with their home room teacher's methodical dismantling of the villains.
"She's good at hand-to-hand…" began Shigaraki. "and those goggles hides whoever's Quirk she's canceling. This is why I hate Pro-Heros. Ordinary villains don't stand a chance." Tomura mumbled. "Then there is the other one. Always aiming to cover her weakness."
"Kurogiri, begin separation." Shredder ordered from the other side of the still open portal before stepping through.
"This is no time to stare, we have to get out of here." Momo commanded, following behind the rest of the class.
"I will not allow that." Kurogiri cut off the students retreat thanks to her portal-quirk.
1-A come to stop shocked from the villain cutting them off before they could make it to the door.
Dammit I blinked and she took advantage, she might be the deadliest one here. Aizawa did not trust that thought as she glimpsed once more to the metal monstrosity. She doubted All-Might could match the creature's height, a hulking purple demon with pink veins. The elongated arms clued her in that it could run on all fours comfortably. The claws gleaming in the light spoke of the blood that had been spilt at their use. She didn't even want to know what the two long red strips of cloth on the heavily armored back. The beady red yes glowing from the abyss of the helmed face with exposed metal fangs.
"Greetings." Kurogiri started. "We are the League Of Villains. We are here to kill the symbol of peace, All-Might." The dark mass that made up Kurogiri's body began to spread out.
"Our sources told she would be here today. It seems we were misinformed, well no matter." Further the dark clouds reached out to the students. 13 readied her Quirk. "My role remains unchanged."
Bakugo and Kirishima rushed to the front of the pack with attacks ready. Kirishima with his cricket-bat and Katsumi an explosion of mass destruction, giving the pro-hero pause in her actions.
Katsumi explosions landed i the body of the villain as Kirishima swung for the head.
"Didn't see that coming, did ya bitch!" Katsumi exclaimed.
"That was close." An unscathed Kurogiri stated as the smoke cleared. "Yes. I nearly forgot, you maybe students but you're still the best of the best."
"Both of you move!" 13 ordered noticing the black mass spread out much faster.
"Begone. Be tormented until your last breathe." Was the last thing most of the students heard before being portalled away.
When the darkness faded the students were scattered throughout the USJ. To the shock of the students remaining at the entrance.
Meanwhile at U.A.: All-Might
"That's strange it's not connecting to 13 or Aizawa." All-Might said aloud to herself. "I did something very foolish today. Maybe I should retire as a teacher, yeah I can hand in my resignation after school. But what about the current students in my class. Well I think I can squeeze in ten-minutes. It's settled I'm going to the USJ." All-Might transformed and opened her door only to be stopped by the rat siblings. Oh no.
USJ
"Shoji, are we all hear nearby?" Yaomomo asked the data collecting hero in training.
"We're scattered but everyone is within the park." She responded.
"How can we fight someone that can warp?" Mina asked allowed, her nervousness showing itself with the trembling she was doing. 13 quickly addressed Yaomomo.
"President."
"Ma'am!"
"I leave the evacuation to you."
"But what about you?"
"Like Aizawa said 'Be hero, duh.' 13 readier Quirk again.
Shredder could feel the mystic powers of the ōdachi beginning to emanate from the entrance of USJ. The blue opened vortex high above the entrance releasing the sound of reinforcement.
RI~SE OF THE…
That's the chapter folks. Yes I'm using Rise! Shredder but nobody get attached he's here until the sports festival and then you will see who will be the New Shredder around the training camp arc. Oh yeah I'm working on a TMNT 2003 version. Same team; different gear, but it will only be a one-shot. let me know the ships you want to see there.
