Disclaimer: I Own Nothing!
Celeste stands on her assigned place as she looks around the vast forest that Sakura, for some reason, owns. The redhead never knew that Sakura was rich until it was announced that Class 1-A, minus Blake who still has to undergo punishment, will be going to a field trip a week ago, and that was a month after she saw the men in black walk through the corridors.
Celeste looks at her partner which happens to be Blaze Steel, an American who has short brown hair with his bangs slightly covering his emerald green eyes, he has fair white skin and wears his hero costume which consists of a white t-shirt, a blue sleeveless jacket with a thundercloud print on the back and a few batteries sewn into it, black pants, black combat boots, he also has a few hidden pockets with stuff essential for injuries, and he holds a metal collapsible staff. A red cloth was also located around his neck.
As for Celeste, she also wears her hero costume which is nothing but a simple catsuit, black boots, a choker around her neck, and, like Blaze, she has a red cloth but is instead tied around her wrist. There's nothing special installed on her hero costume yet due to her not being fully aware of what her quirk can do or what its weaknesses or strengths are.
Celeste looks at her partner with a sympathetic look since a kind and skilled guy like Blaze was teamed up with someone like her out of all people. "I'm sorry again."
"Don't be sorry! You haven't found out what your full potential is yet so who knows? Maybe you'll figure out how your fire works," Blaze says as he offers a toothy grin towards his teammate-slash-classmate.
Blaze meant those words as a way to comfort her, but it only made Celeste feel even more guilty and worse. And the brunette didn't fail to notice that so he immediately changed the subject to take Celeste's mind off of the fact that she's teamed with a person who knows how to control his quirk.
"It's taking so long, don't you think?" Blaze says before he glances up at the sky.
A hundred or so feet above the forest is a glass that belongs to the glass dome that surrounds the whole forest.
"This kind of reminds me of that one movie," Blaze chuckles, making Celeste raise her eyebrows at him.
"You mean the book called Hunger Games?"
"It has a book?" Blaze asked, confused. As far as he could remember he only found out about the movie when he was rummaging through the old stuff of his great, great, great, great, great and many more greats...grandparents.
"Ye—only 10 seconds left before we go for the others," Celeste says, her attention suddenly shifting to the numbers hovering above them.
So what exactly were they doing? Well, as far as she knows, the whole class 1-A is teamed up into two people and needs to find and get the others' red cloths in order to be the victor.
And as much as Celeste wants to be the victor, she doesn't actually expect to be one of the last people standing.
The timer disappears and a resounding buzz that echoed all throughout the forest was heard, signalling that it was finally time to keep moving.
Blaze and Celeste starts to walk, seeing that running isn't really essential since no opponents were nearby...or so they thought.
Celeste immediately turns around when she feelz someone step into the twenty-something meter radius of her detecting ability that is oddly enough a passive skill of her quirk.
The thing, that she wasn't so sure as to what she's supposed to classify it as, runs to them in top speed and for some reason, she freezes in place due to...intimidation.
But before the thing that has a body of a big cat, black scales, bird-like wings, and the head of a goat could even scratch her, Blaze takes her by the wrist and starts to drag her along with him as he sprints off.
"What was that!?" Blaze asks, not daring to look back at whatever was chasing after them.
It takes a while for Celeste to recover because she was stunned by intimidation by the beast. When Celeste did recover, she runs alongside Blaze.
"I don't know," Celeste answers, wanting to look back although she knew that that is going to be a bad idea.
Both Blaze and Celeste though that they actually have to look out for the Top Five of their class, but guess they have to look after others too.
"Well, continue running! I'll try to paralyze him!" Blaze says. He releases his grip on Celeste's wrist and stops from running as he turns to their opponent.
Celeste stops as well and looks at Blaze as if he is crazy.
"Are you going nuts!? You couldn't possibly take on that—watch out!"
Blaze didn't even need to take note of Celeste's warning and immediately focused the energy within him and channels it through his palm before finally releasing lightning.
The beast took a lot of damage from the attack and fell on the ground with its appearance changing into that of a robot with four limbs.
As soon as Blaze is finished releasing lightning through his palm, he walks closer to the robot and so did Celeste.
The brunette slightly kicks the robot's leg, only for it to cause a spark and create smoke.
"It's just a robot?" Blaze says, a bit confused but Celeste's mind was not on the robot but on Blaze and gives him a look of confusion.
"I thought your quirk is fire-based?"
Blaze looks at Celeste with a sheepish grin.
"Now you know it isn't and be glad that you're the first to witness it!" He says. "Well, at least the first one in our class." He adds.
But then his facial expression fell.
"We should keep going and I think we need to be sneakier this time, the robot is easy to defeat but they're fast and looks strong," he says as he takes a glance at the robot lying on his feet.
"No need to tell me the obvious," Celeste comments, making the smile on Blaze's face come back. "And you do know that you could've saved more energy by just channeling lightning through your staff and use it against the robot, right?"
Usually, Celeste never points things out when it comes to using quirks because who was she to speak, anyways? Celeste couldn't even master her own quirk so speaking her opinion on quirk-based topic would probably just make her look like a fool or so she thinks. But since they need to survive from getting beaten, she thinks that it is the right time to speak.
"Scratch that, you do know that metal is a conductor of electricity, right?"
"Of course I do!" Blaze says. "But it's been awhile ever since I used my own body for releasing lightning."
Celeste would like to have a comment on that but she suddenly picks up a faint presence on the edge of her radius. She puts up a finger to her lips as a signal to be quiet as she gets closer toward the presence and gestures for Blaze to follow behind her.
It is a bad idea to get closer to an opponent and Celeste knows that very well, but what's the point of their activity if her and Blaze would just run away? And Celeste is also pretty sure that Blaze wouldn't agree at the idea of running away since he believes that a hero shouldn't run away from a certain situation no matter how bad it is.
The presence starts to disappear so Celeste starts to run but she made sure to not step into twigs and branches that might catch the person's attention.
But she immediately stops and quickly hides behind a large tree when she sees who she the people who are in her radius and pulls Blaze with her.
Of all people that Sakuya could be partnered with, it had to be Shun. It just had to be Shun!
Well, it could be worse though.
"We have to run now," Celeste says, knowing all too well the heat-sensing ability of the Chinese-Australian teen who is a few meters away from them.
Blaze nods in agreement, also knowing the ability of Shun. He and Celeste also knows that the two are a dangerous combination. Shun may not look like it but he is well-versed in martial arts than he looks, heck he may even be the best one in martials arts in their class! And Sakuya could stop time, but though it's only for a couple of seconds, she is pretty fast with her quirk when activated.
So what chance could Celeste and Blaze possibly have? They could run away and hope that the two won't even notice them but chances are rather slim, they could also hope that another team happens to be closer to Sakuya and Shun, or if Samara is around, the two of them could just beg her, make a deal, and ask her to help them but...that's nearly impossible since she probably also aims to be the victor.
Blaze and Celeste are about to run whenall of a sudden, tall well-built man who has blue skin with shoulder-length black hair and tattered black pants blocks her way. He also wears a white mask with eyeholes on his upper face that seems to be a part of his skin.
'Curse fates, she went to Peace Walker mode!' Celeste thought as beads of sweat start to form on her forehead.
'Eek! So fast!' Blaze thought, trying not to look like he's afraid of what was to come with his and Celeste's fate but his pale face tells them otherwise.
Seconds later, Shun appeared just beside Celeste, making the girl jump closer to Blaze because she got startled.
Shun stands at 6'2" who has a lean build and a lithe but study frame, he has neck-length obsidian black hair with his bangs just trimmed above his slightly angled, topaz-colored eyes and he also has side locks reaching down to his shoulders that frame his light bronze face. Like the others he is currently with at that current time, minus Sakuya who is actually in Peace Walker mode and currently takes the appearance of Peace Walker, wears his hero costume which has a diagonally buttoned long-sleeved tail coat that is the same color as his eyes but with a white and gold trim. The trim goes up around the tail coat around its neck that forms a white collar, and beneath his tail coat is a dark green, sleeveless turtleneck. Shun also wears white slacks and black dress shoes, also add the red cloth tied around his forearm and another red cloth tied around his other forearm.
"Give us your flags unless you want to put up a fight and go the hard way," Sakuya with a different tone of voice (due to Peace Walker) says.
Shun nods in agreement at what Sakuya just said as he transforms into his second form, which is also known as the hybrid-form. His second form makes him have scales that cover some parts of his body, nails that are turned into long claws, and slit pupils which looks to be that of a reptile's eyes. With his second form, Shun showed both Blaze and Celeste his long claws, making the two students gulp.
A/N: I'm going to assume that Sakuya changes her clothes if she goes all Peace Walker so Shun has her red flag with him. I'm also sorry for being MIA (Missing In Action) for almost a month, guys! I just don't know what to write, I also lack inspiration, and life's also been busy! The only reason as to why I wrote this is because...I watched Hunger Games and I got inspired from it xP I also apologize for having to not write the other OCs in this chapter. The reason? I don't want anyone of you to memorize of how ALL of the submitted OCs look like and it's a bit annoying to read if I did that, like seriously, who the heck wants to memorize what each and every character looks like?Also, I think that some characters are going to take a while before they make an appearance.
And in reply to all of your reviews:
KingBishop - thanks :) and Blake might actually take an appearance after the field trip or on the day when the special event happens so it might take a while before Blake makes his debut
DeathTheManiac - I'll be honest with you here, I actually thought the same thing because I'm so lazy and I tend to procrastinate from my responisbilities a lot xD and life's exactly not easy for a High Schooler. I cannot say that I have pro skills, but thanks for your kindness ;w; I was extremely worried that I wrote Sakuya wrong, so yay for me! Also, Sakuya didn't get rejected, Celeste was just in a bad mood :)
Reapergenesis32 - thanks, and I'm glad that I wrote Samara right.
MysteryAgain - I took note of your advice and wrote what the characters' look like on each chapter but I do hope I didn't write too much of it. And yes, you're right about Shiori xD
