"Blake! Blake!" The group called, walking the streets of town. Ruby sighed. "She's been gone all weekend. We need to find her."

Weiss rolled her eyes. "You know who might be able to help? The police."

"Weiss!"

"It was just a suggestion!"

Izuku scratched his head. "Weiss, maybe we should make sure Blake is okay. I'm sure she has an explanation for all of this."

Weiss scoffed. "And I'm sure once we hear, you'll all realize I was right."

"And I'm sure Weiss' hair looks wonderful today!" A new voice called behind them.

The group turned in shock to see, "Penny!? Where did you come from?" Ruby exclaimed.

Penny smiled. "Salutations! What are you all up to today?"

Yang frowned. "We're trying to find Blake. She ran away."

Penny thought for a moment before perking up. "Oh! The faunus girl!"

The group looked at her in confusion. Izuku spoke up. "Uh, Penny, why do you think Blake's a faunus?"

"Um, the cat ears?" She pointed, as if it should have been obvious.

Izuku mentally slapped his forehead. "Of course! It should have been obvious! She even sleeps with that bow on."

Penny raised an eyebrow. "Do you know where she went?"

Izuku shook his head. "No, she's been gone for a few days now. We-"

"That's awful! Well, don't you worry, my friend, Izuku! We won't rest until your friend is found!" She exclaimed getting in close proximity.

Izuku flustered a bit as he covered his face. "Uh, w-well, P-Penny, I'm sure we have it handled. R-right… guys…" He looked over to see his friends had vanished. 'They… they left me!?'

Izuku and Penny walked along, looking around alleys and asking shop owners. Eventually, the duo took a rest, backtracking along a side street. Midoriya put a hand to his chin. "Let's see, Blake seemed to run off because she was scared. What's more, she all but admitted to being associated with the White Fang at some point." He tilted his head. "She doesn't seem like the type to seek refuge with the group, but our options are getting kind of limited. Perhaps…" He continued to mumble on, Penny listening intently.

She smiled. "Do all of you analyze things to this extent?"

Midoriya stopped his musings, blushing at her bluntness. "Eh? Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away."

"I've never heard anyone think on things so much before."

"W-well, I tend to let my mouth run with my mind. Sorry." He once again apologized.

Penny tilted her head. "Why are you sorry?"

"Eh? Well, ah… it's just-"

"I kind of enjoy it! It's fascinating to see a mind at work!" She said, happily.

Midoriya chuckled at the strange admission. "Uh, thanks, Penny."

Suddenly, the moment was cut short when a loud explosion caught them off guard. Midoriya and Penny looked to see a large explosion coming from the docks. Izuku narrowed his eyes. "Something's wrong." He immediately pumped his legs, making a beeline for the area with Penny in tow.

Izuku made his way around the main building, surprised to see several airships hovering nearby. He and Penny quietly maneuvered around the various storage crates, seeing several men in masks and uniforms, donning a familiar insignia. "That's… the White Fang?" He peeked out at the area, seeing a new scene. There was Blake, currently dodging an onslaught of attacks, seemingly mini explosions, launched from a strange man holding a cane! 'What is going on!?'

The agile faunus made a quick dodge before returning to cover, finding Izuku and Penny. She was taken aback. ""Izuku? What are you doing here!?"

"We were all worried about you! What's going on?" The group peeked around the corner, seeing a newcomer: the monkey faunus. He was currently fighting off several of the guards before making his way towards the cane man. Blake growled before hopping back into the fray. Izuku tried to reach out, but she was too fast. "Wait!" He turned to Penny. "You need to get out of here. Things are getting dangerous-" He suddenly heard another explosion and looked to see a colossal freight container fall down towards Blake and the monkey. While, they easily dodged, they were quite vulnerable.

A fact the cane man took full advantage of.

The monkey faunus turned to see the barrel of the cane pointed directly at his face.

Izuku felt his heart pound as his body began to move. He made a quick sprint towards the cane man, feeling his power surge. "Don't you touch him!" He shouted as he reared a fist back. Before the cane man could tell what was happening, Izuku shouted out. "Detroit… Smash!" He delivered a full punch to the man's gut, stunning him for a moment before he went flying, bashing into a far off container.

Izuku prepared himself to feel the pain, but noticed… he felt fine! He looked at his arm, curiously. "It's… it doesn't hurt…"

Penny watched in awe at what she had just witnessed. 'That was so odd! His aura suddenly increased dramatically, but... '

Before Izuku could shake himself from his stunned state, the cane man regained his composure. "Nice shot, kid. My turn." He aimed and took fire with no hesitation."

Izuku's eyes widened as he held his arms up to offer whatever shielding he could. However, he was still launched back and his clothes were slightly singed. "Augh!"

Blake gasped and ran up to him. "Izuku! Are you okay?" She looked at his injuries, frowning. 'Why didn't he use his aura to shield himself?'

Penny looked at her downed friend for a moment before frowning. She made her way closer to the onslaught of enemies, a new look of determination on her face. Izuku reached a hand out. "P-Penny, stay back!"

"Don't worry, Izuku." She clenched her fists. "I am combat ready!" Suddenly, her back seemed to open up as several swords floated around her. In moves that were swifter than comprehension and attacks fiercer than believed, she easily cut down the opposing White Fang forces as they kept coming. Izuku, Blake, and the monkey boy watched in awe as she seemed to command her weapons with the utmost ease.

"That is some Semblance…"

Izuku said nothing, keeping an eye on her movements. 'She's analyzing their moves. It's almost as if she can predict what they're doing…' He sat up. "It's… amazing!"

Penny finished up the last of the goons before turning her attention to the incoming airships. Her swords began to spin in front of her before a green glow enveloped them. After a moment of humming, Penny pushed forward, allowing a burning laser to burn through the ships, crashing them into the harbor.

Upon witnessing these newcomers, the cane man frowned before getting into his own airship. "These kids just keep getting weirder…"

Penny looked at the ship, but it was already long gone. She shrugged and turned to the group, smiling with a thumbs up.

Izuku sat down across from his friends as the police had shown up and taken their statements. Izuku closed his eyes, sighing in relief. "So, you aren't with the White Fang anymore?"

"No, not for long time." Blake said. She looked at his arm, eyebrow raised. "Your arm… it didn't break?"

Midoriya examined the limb and double checked it. "I… I guess not." He thought back to his fight against Shiguraki and Noumu. 'Again, I was forced to use One For All on a person, but…' His mind flashed to the punch that landed him in this world. 'It was reckless. I could have lost control again, then who knows where I would have ended up?' As he mused, Weiss, Yang, and Ruby approached the group. He stood and waved to them. "G-guys! It's okay! You see, Blake-" Weiss held a hand up before making her way to the faunus.

Blake looked down, unable to meet her eyes. "Weiss, I… I haven't been associated with the White Fang-"

"Stop. Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you? 12 hours! That's 12 hours for me to think about things and…" She looked at the faunus, blankly. "I don't care!"

"You… what?"

"You aren't with them anymore, right? Just remember, when something this big comes up, you come to your teammates. Not… someone else." She gestured to the monkey boy, Sun.

Izuku smiled at the amends, but suddenly looked around. "Uh, where's Penny?" He stood and examined the area, noticing nothing but a lone car driving away. "I… guess she went home? Man, it would have been great to ask her about her Semblance. Controlling so many weapons at once must require a lot of concentration, but she seemed to move with such ease…" The group snickered as Izuku rode his train of thought...
