Chapter 5: The New and Improved USJ
AN: Before anything, important announcement people. So, after finally getting all that data on one page, and examining it all...A MAJOR DISCREPENCY WAS FOUND! Rather, there are too many freakishly tall people! Way too many! I was willing to let one or two slide, but I had no idea we had this many! Did you know most normal people are below the average height of our class? I mean boys and girls, because they are fifteen! This is too many! WAY TOO MANY! TALL PEOPLE SHOULD DIE! MURDER MURDER MURDER!
Ahem...anyways, you get the point. In the future, heights will probably have to be shrunk. Fun fact by the way, the three shortest characters are boys. BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY 15! AND NOT THIS MANY SHOULD BE FREAKISHLY TALL! Therefore, some of a few things will likely happen. Some characters may get shrunk. Others, depending on how murderous I get, may or may not befall tragedies like hitting their head on various objects and getting their head cut off, and so on. Seriously though people? This is WAY TOO MUCH TALL!
#ShortPeopleRule
And so, as classes went along, it was another normal day...at least, normal in terms of UA standards. Everyone was back in their gym uniforms, although...
"...how...did this happen?"
Toko's uniform had shorts instead of long pants. That was fine, that was a common option for people. A lot of the other kids had that. Rather, it was his top. It was not that his top was short sleeves, that was common too. Rather, there was a hood added to it...with...cat ears on them.
"Who the hell did this?!"
"I think I heard that one of the general classes, as part of a home ec project, was put in charge of fixing up and maintaining the gym uniforms".
Immediately, there was one person they could think of that was likely responsible for this. And with that, the subject got changed quickly.
"It looks like we have Titan-sensei with us today though..."
"I also heard the rescue hero, Wizardo, will be there!"
"Wait, Wizardo?! You mean that one guy who teleported a sinking ship safely onto land using his power?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh, this sounds amazing! He is one of my favorites!"
"So...where are we going anyways?"
"Apparently, its a place way out on campus that is built to simulate various rescue situations, such as landslides, tsunamis, flash fires, and so on! We can train for all kinds of rescue operations here!"
As that was said, the bus came up to the building and stopped, letting them all out.
"Rumor has it villains once attacked this place actually, but were fought off by students. As a result, they increased the security, and even added some security robots" Titan told them as they stepped off, and Wizardo was there to meet them. Along with Dr. Disaster, which caused the male classmates to take some distance, especially Deru and Toshi.
"...perhaps I should provide more education now..."
"Nope we are good!"
"Anyways! Come in!" Titan mentioned, as they stepped inside. And surely enough, there were some security robots right there, standing tall, proud, and totally broken into pieces. And oddly enough...a child's voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Yo! Everyone! Welcome to the funhouse, where we will show you a good time! But first, lets give the lucky winners their prizes!"
Suddenly, a weird portal opened up under multiple groups of peoples feet, and they fell in. At the same time, the doors started to seal behind them.
"Its a trap! Quickly, try to escape!"
The moment that was said, a huge force of vacuum appeared and started to try and suck everyone away from the doors and towards the center of the USJ, where various portals opened and dumped villains into the center, ready for a fight. Haru immediately tried to turn into a Demon to overpower it and get to the doors, but then various bandages used by another villain ensnared him and started to pull him back.
As a result, the other owner of Demon also tried the same, but as a counter she seemed to suddenly go insane somehow, and tried to attack Haru.
"I see...alright then! I guess there is no choice!"
Titan declared that, and then he ripped out a piece of cement from the ground and blocked the suction, though even with that it was quickly being sucked away. Additionally, the doors were already so sealed that no one would be able to get through.
Or at least, that was the theory, but one person rushed towards it in that instant. A villain tried to shoot green goo at him to slow him down, however...he then turned into smoke!
And because of that, right before it was sealed shut, Samuel managed to get out.
"Awww...and here I was hoping we would have more time to play. No matter, its not like he can run fast, so we should have some time. Anyways, today's game is a survival game! But there is a big twist at the end, and lots of portal madness! Actually, more then just at the end! Surprises all around, with the prep work we did! I hope you enjoy!"
"...that brat...whoever he is, he is getting on my nerves" Kazuya mentioned, as lightning began to burst from his horns.
"Where...where did everyone else go?"
"It looks like they got teleported to the various zones..."
Squall Zone:
Deru looked around, as the storm picked up and raged. However, no matter where he looked, he was surrounded by villains.
"Well well, we got ourselves a pipsqueak" they mentioned, as they looked down at Deru. And yet, in response, Deru only smiled.
"What is so funny, brat?"
"Ah, its just...there is no one around for me to hurt on accident" Deru mentioned, as he opened his eyes and activated Inversion on all gravity except the area he was standing in. As such, they all just fell upwards. "And I will show you...that you dont need to be tall to be a Hero damnit!"
As he said that, Deru ended up having to cancel the Inversion and dodge the right as a spectral being tried to attack him.
"Sorry brat, but gravity does not affect me".
"Yeah, well lets see if you can handle materializing in that state!"
However, as he said that, a few of the more muscular, physical people started to make their way over to him.
"If you dodged his attack...then that Quirk of yours must not affect everything".
"Oh dear...this might be troublesome after all".
Fire Zone:
"Three more villains on the right!" Noboru warned as Haruto covered him.
"Got it! Yaro?"
"Sorry, the heat is interfering!" Yaro warned them, louder then usual. He had already taken off the UA Gym Uniform top, revealing...a completely lacking in muscles chest, so that he could produce mutagen's faster. Under extreme conditions like heat and cold, his body's ability to produce them is reduced as it adapts to the situation. Because of that, he was having trouble producing a swarm, especially since what he did produce was getting killed off while holding off villains.
"Great..." Haruto said, as he rolled up his sleeves. He seemed to be the only one whose Quirk was unhindered by heat, which put them at a disadvantage.
"Haha! Brats, you really have no hope in this matter!"
"Yaro-kun!"
"...I have an idea..."
"Just do it!"
Yaro blushed a little as he took off the pants and shoes and socks, ending up in his boxers. However, it did result in his body working just a little more efficiently. And even if it was just by a few percent, that few percent could be vital for them.
Shipwreck Zone:
Toshi, Kaori, and Kakashi meanwhile found themselves quickly racing out of the water, and onto a nearby boat that was meant to be used for rescues.
"So...we are surrounded, by people who have a clear advantage on us...any idea of what to do now?"
The three of them looked at each other, and realized just how unfair this was...for the other team.
"Kaori-kun, can you point them out to me?" Toshi said as he started to create spears of light, and Kakashi prepared an aura of paranoia for their defense.
"You got it" Kaori replied, as he activated his quirk. This might as well have litterally been shooting fish in a barrel, this combo right there.
Blizzard Zone:
"Its...so cold..." the two Nakamuras said as they huddled together for warmth. After all, it was not JUST the cold they were in.
Yuki was there with them, handling the villains with his ice powers.
"Just...stay behind me. I can handle this easily enough..."
As he said that, a massive hulk of a man...or maybe, half man, half monkey...burst out of the ground.
"...probably..."
And so, as them and others began to fight for their lives, and the people in front at the entrance fought for theirs, Deru was on his own. All alone, his little, weak...
"Oww!" a man exclaimed as his face was used by Deru to jump off.
"YOu should just surrender now, while you still can!" Deru said as he used his tail to grab onto a lamp post and hang from it.
Please surrender...I dont have the time or energy to fight everyone at once forever...I only defeated five villains so far, and four of them technically defeated each other because I dodged their attacks...still, it indicates they are not well coordinated. Maybe they were all recently hired? They clearly are not trained to work together.
Deru was trying to analyze the situation as best he could, and he was right. The only reason he was still in this fight was their own lack of coordination.
"Hey, brat! YOu better surrender now! If not...well, we can just find out where you live, and pay your friends and family a visit..."
At that moment, Deru felt his heart skip a beat as he became overwhelmed with anger. To him, he was threatening all those innocent kids who called him oni-chan, or Deru-niichan. Those kids, who despite where they were born and were being raised, had the spirit and energy to smile.
Suddenly, Deru seemed to burst forward, hitting the ground and rushing up to the scum that had just spoken his last word as he struck his throat in such a way, it would probably bother him to speak in the future.
"...what did you just say?" Deru asked as he raised the man up with one hand. "I asked you, what did you just say?"
"...ahk...ahk..."
Deru threw the man aside, and looked at the others who were shocked. However, they noticed something especially strange. In his normal red eyes, there looked to be something else...some sort of circle, aside from his irises. Something extra.
And then, at that moment...the winds in the Squall Zone inverted, as well as the gravity for the whole area once again. But this time, it was on a wider scale, and the winds were inverted with it.
"...I wont let you hurt them...I wont let you hurt any of them..."
Meanwhile...in the center...
Titan found himself immediately being charged as he and the remaining teachers and students were pulled there. Wizardo tried to teleport them out using his Quirk, Houdini, but suddenly his quirk stopped working.
"Nice try" the man said as he had his bandages wrapped around Wizardo. "But your Quirk is already done and sealed".
Villain: Silencer. Quirk: Quirk Nullification. He has the ability to nullify any one Quirk someone has if he says its true name outloud. He can also do this with multiple people, but it only lasts for a short time, and if he says it again in that time, it re-enables. However, if he says it within ten seconds before the timeout, then rather then re-enabling it again, it is disabled for another five minutes. Additionally, the owner must be close and hear him say the Quirk Name.
"Yes yes. You really should just give up" the warping villain, Gate, told them.
Villain: Gate. Quirk: The ability to create Teleportation Gates. Can only create a pair of gates in her area or to places she is familiar with. She can also make smaller gates, and camoflauged gates, for various purposes.
"Oh come on! You guys can come up with better lines then that!" a child like voice said amongst them, stepping out into the crowd. He had rainbow dyed hair, purple eyes, and a feeling that he was probably not at all sane. "You gotta make this entertaining for the boss after all! Unless he is boring too, then I should have just stayed home".
With that temperment, he could only be one villain.
Villain: Azaken. Quirk: Rainbow. Azaken can change his aura to one of seven colors. Each of those colors gives him different abilities, and different quirks. It is a powerful Quirk, and rumors is that this ten year old boy was a secret weapons project for the war to create a super soldier. Unfortunately, it seems the tests drove him insane, and now he was eternally in the image of a ten year old. He is considered one of the Super Seven, a listing of known villains that are the most dangerous. He is listed at number 4, but some argue he should be 3.
"Now now, Azaken-chan" a man in a lab coat mentioned as he took the center stage. "These people...they look wonderful as experimental test subjects. I want to see what happens when I use my Quirk on budding heroes before you do anything".
Villain: Dr. Mad. Quirk: Madness Aura. He can make anyone near him turn temporarily insane. He can even determine the level of insanity he is trying to inflict.
"...you are all so annoying. Let me just poison them, so we can watch them suffer and cry" a lizard like man mentioned as he stepped forward. His skin was covered in scales, and it seemed like he was able to produce poison gas.
VIllain: Gasdogedon. Quirk: Poison Gas. He is able to produce his own custom poison gases. He understands what the gas will do because he determines what it will do, and he can also create antidotes if he wants to. He has never once wanted to.
This was the collection of villains that had come to meet htem head on, with at least one more...this Boss Azaken mentioned. Although, he used that word loosely and casually, and it seemed he was here more for his own amusement.
"...this...is not good" Titan mentioned. "...I really hope Samuel finds help soon".
"Oh come on! Lets play!" Azaken said as he glowed a red aura. Then, he suddenly disappeared from Titan's eyesight and appeared next to him in a blur, followed by Titan going flying off into the stairs. "Awww...and I thought you were tough".
"I am tough damnit" he said as he stood up. Azaken then moved at high speed right at him and punched forward, which he meant with his own punch. The collision of the two resulted in shockwaves that blew anyone nearby away, but then Azaken grabbed hold of his arm and his hands glowed green temporarily, creating a poison gas that he inhaled as he jumped off and took some distance, glowing red again.
"See! I can create poison gas too!" Azaken declared. "Oh, but mine is way more fun!"
As Titan looked around, to his horror...he saw dozens of Azakens around him.
"No...NONO! He duplicated himself?! Can they all change powers as well, gang up on us?!" he said, even though there was only one Azaken around him. He started to turn around, when he suddenly tripped and fell face first into the dirt.
"I suppose it is my turn up" Dr. Disaster said as she walked forward. Several of the villains charged at her, but as if by some weird misfortune, they tripped over each other, accidentally fired off their quirks as another went in front, and so forth.
And yet, one person managed to reach her and forced her to deflect the strike. That was the villain Gate.
"As suspected...your quirk is Sexist! Interesting!" Gate replied, as she used a palm strike, which Dr. Disaster. "Lets play!"
"Tsk! I hate girls like you!"
And then, meanwhile...Dr. Mad was walking towards the students.
"Lets see how you react to me".
"Or me" Gasdogedon announced as he flanked them from the side.
"Great...we have to choose madness, or poison gas" Haru mentioned, as he guarded one side while Bisca got the other.
Meanwhile, Amon brought out Djinn and decided to stay in the rear while it attacked from afar.
And meanwhile, Azaken stood up again.
"Azaken-chan is back in action!"
"Stop refering to yourself with an honorific! Its weird!"
"Never! Now, who to play with next!" Azaken declared, as he was surrounded with a blue aura. "I can give really cool hugs you know! And I promise, only half my christmas presents I give to others explode!"
Each of them were terrifying in their own way, though Azaken was known by the nickname "Azaken the Terror" and "Azaken the Terrorist".
Yes, with the students surrounded, it did not look good.
And then a massive force of wind appeared, pouring out of the Squal Zone and nearly throwing everyone off balance. And as for the one to emerge...
"Hey guys" Deru mentioned, a little beat and worn, but still in one piece and with no blood showing. "Sorry I am late".
"Ooooh" Azaken said, interested at the new arrival. He was about the same size as he was, and clearly tough if he escaped from a place solo. "I call dibs!"
Suddenly, Azaken raised his palms and fired several beams of energy at Deru. However...
"Inversion! Barrier!" he called out. And then, the moment any of the beams got close to hitting them, they flew off in another direction before turning back towards Azaken.
"Impressive...to create a barrier from your Quirk that activates its effects like that" Azaken said, even more interested as he raised up a hand. "Barrier!"
And so, Azaken created his own barrier and endured the attacks. Once the energy was gone though, Azaken glowed red and charged right at Deru.
"Invert, Aura!"
"Rainbow Shift!"
Deru inverted the red aura, but then Azaken changed his aura. As a result, he kept charging without fear as he was surrounded in purple, and then disappeared, teleporting behind Deru. Deru used his tail however to grab Azaken's leg and flip him into the air. Azaken countered by teleporting above Deru and twisting his body around into a kick, which Deru caught with his palm and pushed him away. Azaken then glowed green and shot poison gas, but due to the open doors of the Squal Zone, it was dispersed and made harmless.
"Clever...you left them open to help defend against gas attacks. My guess is, your Quirk is weak to those on some level. Still..." Azaken said, as he glowed yellow. Suddenly multiple constructs of light, in the forms of Knights and Tanks, appeared. "I know they are from two different eras, but I just think they look great together!"
The tanks fired as the soldiers charged. Deru dodged the incoming blows, but it became harder to move as the Knights moved in for the kill. Still, he was not out of this yet.
"Invert Gravity!"
Deru sent all of them flying into the air.
"Oooohhh...interesting. From what I can tell though, it appears you have no direct means of attack. A Control Type Quirk. But you are very good with it. Hmmm...wanna make out?"
"What?!"
"Azaken! Not while we are on the job!"
"Seriously? Now of all times you ask a weird question like that?!"
"Sorry about the downers. None of them ever want to make out with me, and I am curious about how it feels to do it with someone who is willing, so..."
"...no".
"Awww...I am sure I will convince you eventually...but for now..."
And then, Azaken glowed orange.
"I am just going to smash you" he said as he telekinetically picked up Deru and pinned him against the wall. "Or at least, keep you there for a bit while we slaughter your friends. Gasdrogedon?"
"Haha! Right!" he replied, as he unleashed a powerful cloud of gas and engulfed all the students grouped together. "Honestly. You really have some bad...luck?"
As he said that, he noticed that someone had thrown goop into his points that produce poison gas, while the gas he does produce...had turned into a solid?
However...
"I have more then those!" he shouted, and released gas from elsewhere that engulfed them all. It was converted to solid, but he released them in clusters and eventually got everyone. "Hahaha! Now, unless you surrender and bow down to me, you will all die! Your only possible chance at life is if you beg for forgiveness!"
"...what did you say about my students?"
And then, in that moment...the room felt a chill go through it. They looked towards the entrance of the USJ, and it seemed that at some point during the fight, someone had cut open the doors to the USJ...and now that same someone, a short, young looking boy holding a large scythe and dressed in all black, was staring down at them from the top.
"Kotari-sensei!" Olive announced, appearing near him. She managed to use her power to get away at hte last minute. "Please! We need help!"
"Ha! That brat is a teacher?!"
However, while most of the villains looked cocky, Azaken took a step back.
"...looks like funtime is over. Play with you again later, Deru" he said with a wink, as he disappeared in an instant.
Kotari-sensei looked at the villains, and quickly identified the ones of priority.
"...you are going to regret doing this...to my students..."
AN: OH SHIT OH SHIT! KOTARI-SENSEI IS MAD! THINGS ARE GOING TO GET REAL NEXT CHAPTER! Also, poor ocean people. You are getting hunted like fish, aren't you?"
