"Are you still watching those?" Miles asked Indigo and Eddy.
"Sorry but this guy...I can't shake this feeling about him." Indigo said.
"Well...as long as it's just you two." Miles said.
"Uh actually…." Eddy said as Ed, Double D and Mark walked in.
"You guys are watching this too?" Miles said. "What? Is Cheetah gonna become invested too?"
"I already became interested when you brought it up the other day." Cheetah said.
"Yeah, we all figured we needed a way to unwind." Mark said. "Between the Hassaikai raid and Double D and I looking for the key, we figured we could use it."
"Besides, I figured watching his videos might be a good way to learn about this Gentle Criminal, to understand his pattern." Double D said.
"Shh. Video." Ed said.
The video soon started as All Might appeared. "All Might. His is a face known round the world. Like this versatile vigilante, many a hero will no doubt be recorded into the history books due to their exploits. Of course, we must not also forget the legendary All for One, Destro, the commander of the Meta Liberation Army, and the peerless thief, Oji Haruma. These so called villains have found somewhat notoriety. Before the legislative of villains society worked in absolutes, back when the distinction between hero and villain was still vague, there was chaos, but there was freedom. Right. It was a roar of unfretted freedom not unlike any other. Lovely to see you again, dear viewers. May I delight you with a miraculous adventure? Yes, it is I, Gentle Criminal." Gentle said as the video cut out.
"Was that it? That was just an extended intro!" Eddy said.
"Oh I see. The account was deleted before the video could finish." Double D said.
"That's some bad timing right there." Ed said.
"Oh well, it was interesting." Mark said. "Guess this means we should get back to work."
"I can't believe how seriously he's taking this key stuff…" David said, shaking his head. "Still… I can't help but feel bad for him for some reason. That's probably because of that tragic past you mentioned."
"Danjuro Tobita. He was once a student in UA High like you. However, his grades were rather poor and he was forced to repeat his high school years several times." Cheetah said. "Even failing the Provisional License Exam four times."
"I heard about that." Miles said. "He was expelled cause he tried to save someone but ended up making the situation worse."
"Yes. The victim was falling from a building, and his elastic quirk prevented the active Pro Hero from saving the victim, causing him to hit the ground and be hospitalized for six months." Cheetah said. "Down and out and on his own, he meets up with a classmate who became a successful Pro Hero, who failed to even recognize him. Refusing to fall into obscurity, Tobita turned to the life of villainy, posting his capers online. However, his videos failed to garner the popularity he so desired."
"Which is where that girl La Brava comes in and makes his videos more entertaining, right?" Indigo said.
"That's right. He did manage to attract a fan in his endeavors. Manami Aiba, a young woman who was suffering under a deep depression, withdrawing herself from society. She reached out to him and was eager to help in his endeavors. Although initially reluctant to bring her along in his endeavors, he eventually saw how well they coordinated with each other, and became the duo you see now." Cheetah said.
"Hmm. Yet he keeps her out of the videos. Interesting." Miles said. "And her real face isn't shown once."
"It's possible he did that on purpose so that she wouldn't be persecuted by the cops." David said.
"Hmm...well we should probably step away from these videos for awhile. Don't we still need to figure out this concert thing for the festival?" Miles asked.
"Yeah, we do. We still need to figure out what everyones gonna be doing." Hope said.
They all soon gathered in the lounge as they started to mull over ideas.
"The first thing to decide on is a song." Hope said.
"I can handle coming up with a song." Jiro said. "But the focus should be the band. Drums are the backbone. Teaching beginners while I'm doing the other things would be difficult."
"Wait, didn't you tell me your parents made you take music classes?" Sunset said, looking to Bakugo.
"Huh?" Bakugo said.
"No way. Show us." Glimmer said.
"No way, you morons." Bakugo said.
"What's wrong, scared to admit you can play the drums?" Mermista asked.
"Come on, Bakugo. You did it masterly once back in the Metro Kingdom, remember?" David asked.
"Hmmm?" Bakugo groaned before he started playing a few sick beats on the drums. "Well?"
"Okay, Bakugo is the drummer." Mermista said.
"Heh. No way I'm making a fool of myself up on that stage." Bakugo said.
"What?" Glimmer asked.
"Look, we said we're doing this to blow off steam for the other courses right? Well guess what? We caused their stress and are making ourselves feel better. This is gonna be a slap in the face for the people who can't stand." Bakugo said. "It makes me so mad. Why should we care about how these weaklings feel? We're not here to make friends. We're here to fight. We need to take the win. Let's murder everyone in UA...with killer music!"
Everyone then cheered for Bakugo's speech.
"Well not sure if this will help but I once took piano when I was a little girl." Yaoyorozu said.
"Perfect. You're on keyboard." Jiro said.
"Hmm...we also need some special effects. Something to just wow the audience." Pinkie said.
"Yeah. We can have a disco ball and hang Aoyama into the air. We'll also need ice, Todoroki and David can handle that." Mina said. "Oh, and Himeno can do flames with the ice! And Mermista can do water tricks like from a fountain! And Tsumugi, she can quickly change her costumes to represent all of those in our alliance to make it like everyone is a part of the performance."
"With all those ideas, the gym's gonna be lit up like a galaxy." Hope said.
"Yeah, but to put it all together, someone has to be the lead singer, right?" Aqua asked.
"Jiro can do that. She's a great singer." Kaminari said. "As for guitar, I can easily take that position. After all, the guitar is the star of every rock band."
"Ah...come on. Gah! I can't play because of my character design!" Mineta said.
A long and powerful riff was then played as Tokoyami rocked on a guitar.
"Holy moly! Tokoyami, I didn't know you jammed!" Luna said.
"I put down the axe when I was bested by the F chord." Tokoyami said. "I will play in your place, Mineta."
"Fine. Whatever. This sucks." Mineta said.
"Will you be part of the dance team if I get a harem together?" Mina asked.
"The school festival can't come soon enough." Mineta said cheering up.
A little later…
"Okay. Everyone's roles in the festival have been decided. We have the Band Team, the Effects Team, and the Dance Team!" Iida said. "Rest up. Starting tomorrow, we're hard at work."
"Oh...just to tell you guys..I'll be seeing All Might for a few days." Izuku said.
"Really? What's up?" Jexi asked.
"I know you don't get it but...I need to come up...with a long distance attack." Izuku said.
"A long distance attack huh? Right. You couldn't win without using 100% and without Tsumugi or Ultraman. With that in mind...I wish you the best of luck." Jexi said as Izuku headed off. "Hmm...long distance attacks. That sounds like something I could experiment with."
After that, a video soon played on the computer without anyone seeing it.
"Gentle Video!" the logo said as a cup of tea appeared.
"Dearest viewers, do you drink different types of tea on separate occasions? I drink different teas depending on the capers I embark on. This blend is called Royal Flush. What could that mean I wonder? Be sure to stay tuned. My next video will be an alarm bell to not just the heroes but to the entire world. Try to contain your anticipation until then." Gentle said as the video ended.
