Bonus Chapter 1: Super Smash Students
A/N:
Okay, it's me, SD here on official non-chapter business. We'd get to the point, but first, Lime has a few awesome replies to, well, reply to (with my added interjections), so let's get to it first so that we won't have to take up the bulk of the next chapter with our replies again.
HeroNoMore: Yes, Eric is in severe pain. And of course Monokuma is transphobic as heck. What did anyone expect?
I doubt Eric could seduce a brick, but he would definitely try. And all your zombie apocalypse choices are also good.
Sasha X Fire Extinguisher is my OTP. Nothing can extinguish the flames of their love. They need a shipping name.
CaptainQuackin: Thank you! Hideki was one of the characters I was sort of iffy on, so I'm happy that you think he's in character.
Official Lapis Lazuli: Todd and Johan are both pretty conspicuous, it's true. And I'll make sure to spotlight Ava and Xiang more.
And interesting choices. I must say, Todd is my fave too. He's just so ridiculous.
Is Sasha X Fire Extinguisher a meme yet? It better be.
LongTimeReader19: Thanks so much!
BigBob: All your points about Sasha are fair. I hope that she doesn't start to take over the story. Please tell me if you feel like she is.
You'd fight Maya, huh? *evil grin* You'll see.
And I put in your votes. Cheers.
PowerPlayer: Sasha acknowledges your pun with a sigh and a facepalm.
Maya, Ava, Eric, Xiang and Faen should form a team of superheroes. Probably not Big Hero 6 standards, but eh.
Not only will there be Sasha X Fire Extinguisher fluff, but I will draw fanart of the pairing, and if this story reaches 150 reviews I will make it my tumblr icon.
Thanks so much! Yeah, I love Maya. She's super awesome!
A Dingus With Sweet Shades: Aha, I see. I'll make sure to include more scenes similar to the chandelier scene.
Haha, don't worry. There's no way that we're gonna slow down. This story is super fun to write.
Khronovision: I don't really have anything to say to your choices that the main chapter won't. So. Uh.
HeroinOfDarkness: Haha, yeah, Xiang needs more action. And Sasha wielding her red, cylindrical, significant other is going to be a plot-relevant thing later on, mark my words. You've put the image in my mind and there's no going back.
SD back here again. Other than that, we've also closed the FT polls. The top eight have been chosen, and will get their own FT segments in either the next chapter, or the chapter after that. Probably. For your reference, they are, in no particular order:
Jackie, Maya, Xiang, JJ, Nico, Todd, Ava, Lucille.
We're currently doing up the first FTs, but it'll take some time. Don't worry, though we promise to be quick.
So anyways, thanks to the positive feedback on our last question-of-the-day, we've decided to leave the following list for your general amusement as a bonus/omake chapter. It's all Lime's work, so take up any complaints and/or misgivings with them, not me.
IF YOU TRIED TO FIGHT THESE STUDENTS:
Ashley Jung
Who wins: Her
Ashley caught TWO Electro-IDs. Most people couldn't even catch one. Besides, she's a dancer. And dancers are hardcore as hell. Do you know how much she has to do to keep that flawless idol body? Do you? To top it off, she's got such a cute face. No one would even want to fight her to begin with.
Nico Birza
Who wins: Up to interpretation
Nico's about average in terms of strength and stamina, so who wins depends on the person fighting her. Unless you bring up her chest, in which case you're dead as hell. Still, why would you want to fight her anyhow? Might as well rock out to her jam.
Sasha Oryolov
Who wins: Her
Sasha might look and act like a bit of a pushover, but remember her talent. Activist. Not only can she rally an army against you, she's in constant danger so she probably knows Krav Maga or something (Limenote: I can confirm that Sasha does indeed know Krav Maga). That's not even starting on the fact that she's five and a half feet of pure Russian rage. Don't fight Sasha. She'll kick everyone's ass. She'll kick your ass. She'll kick your dog's ass. She'll kick her own ass.
Eric Andrews
Who wins: You
Look at this guy. He's a total pushover. There's literally no way that you could lose to this dude. He's an overconfident dork with a lame sword and everyone hates him. Fight Eric. Do it. Do it now.
Lucille DuCarde
Who wins: Her
This chick has to deal with thousands of adoring fanboys. If she can ward off an army of straight fans I'm sure she can deal with you.
Xiang Li
Who wins: You
Xiang's a soldier, but he's also an incredibly nice guy. He would never hurt you. He'd just stand there and let you punch him. The question is, why would you even WANT to fight him?
Ava Tremblay
Who wins: Her
In Canada they go hardcore. Ava kills moose with her bare hands. The cold never bothered her anyway. Besides, have you ever played ice hockey? It's brutal as hell. Blood bounces on ice and she knows that from experience. Do not, under any circumstances, fight Ava.
Hideki Kenta
Who wins: You, probably
While there is an argument to be made for surgery being the most hardcore branch of medicine, this dude has one eye. Get in his blind spot and he's done for. Not to mention, he's the only one saving Eric from Johan. Feel free to fight Hideki.
Faen Skylark
Who wins: No one
Faen would go down quickly. There's no way he'd want to hurt you. But think about it-what would fighting Faen accomplish? Why would you even want to? Is there a single positive thing about fighting this poor kid, you psycho? I think not.
JJ Jackson
Who wins: Him
He's like 6'3" and thoroughly tattooed. Plus he has to deal with dumb witnesses all the time. I'm pretty sure JJ would kick your ass.
Matthew Tanner
Who wins: You, most likely
Look at this nerd. Punch this nerd. Punch him in the face. Do it.
Todd Dunham
Who wins: Depends
Todd is like a monkey. This dude could jump circles around anyone on the planet. But with proper strategy, you could probably make him crash into something. It's a calculated risk about whether or not to fight Todd.
Johan Otto
Who wins: Him
Not only is this guy a super-buff rugby player, he has to deal with crowds of kids. Don't fight Johan. It will not end well for you.
Phoung Tien Lam
Who wins: You
She's a nerd. Fight nerds. But she's also a really nice and non-awkward nerd. So what you would gain from fighting her is really up to you.
Jackie Ressa
Who wins: You
Unless Jackie fooled someone else into fighting her, she probably wouldn't put up all that much of a fight. Plus she's fairly vain. I don't think anyone is going to stop you from fighting Jackie.
Maya Metl
Who wins: Her
DO NOT. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. FIGHT MAYA.
Yukari
Who wins: Her
Eat shit, comrade.
A/N:
Hope you enjoyed that public service announcement. We'll see you back in time for the first exploration/second FT chapter. Cheers! ~ SD
Limenote: Also, would you guys be in favor of me making an AFOFD tumblr? It would have art (not just the official sprites, but my lame sketches as well), writing, bonus writing, you'd be able to ask the characters and authors questions, and so on and so forth. Lime would be the main mod, since they're the most experienced tumblr user. There will be a poll on their profile, so make sure to vote.
