Chapter 3: Misao & Takeru

Tsuyu and Tokoyami walked down the urban streets of Ground Beta. For the time being, it was rather peaceful. But a little too peaceful. So, they stuck closely together.

"It would be best that we should expect any kind of attacks." Tokoyami suggested.

"Yeah." Tsuyu agreed. "We should stick together, just in case."

Meanwhile, in the monitor rooms, the other students were watching the situation.

"Looks like the fight hasn't started yet." Todoroki commented.

"What are the Class 1-C guys doing?" Kirishima asked. "Are they coming or what?"

"Hm…" Deku wondered.

"What is it?" Uraraka asked.

"I feel like this is part of their plan…" Deku explained. "They're saving their moment to attack."

Back outside, Tsuyu and Tokoyami was still walking near each other. Then, Tokoyami stopped.

"What is it?" Tsuyu asked.

Tokoyami didn't reply. He looked behind him, and Dark Shadow slowly came out of his body.

"Go!" He suddenly shouted.

Dark Shadow then flew towards his designated target. He launched a punch, but he missed. A figure then jumped over Dark Shadow and rolled right into Tsuyu and Tokoyami's field of vision.

It was a boy, about their age. And it appeared to be in costume. He had black spandex pants on, and also had black boots on with white edges. His upper body was covered by a colored shirt in this order from right to left: Orange, black, and gray. Subsequently, his hair was also in those colors and order. He also had some kind of helmet. The figure smirked as he stood up properly.

"Well…" He admitted. "That's some Quirk, friend."

"I assume you're from the new class 1-C?" Tokoyami asked.

"Yes." He replied. "And I guess it's time to fight."

The boy cracked his neck, and then planted his feet into the ground.

"Asui, get ready!" Tokoyami warned.

"Gero!" Tsuyu replied.

They stood still as the boy then moved his hand towards his head. He then grabbed a piece of his helmet.

"Honou kakusei!" He called.

He flipped up the piece of the helmet he grabbed. It revealed a silver design, which resembled a wolf. Once that was done, his body slouched forward slightly, and then he began to growl.

"A… wolf?" Tsuyu asked.

Just then, the boy made a come-at-me gesture with his hands. That was all that they needed.

"Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami cried.

"Got it!" Dark Shadow replied, diving straight for the boy.

The boy looked up, and dodged just as Dark Shadow threw a punch. It kept on going with the punches, but the boy was able to dodge all of them. Finally, the boy was backed into a wall. Dark Shadow smiled, and then dived straight at the boy. The boy, turned around, and then jumped on the wall. He used his wall to do a backflip, dodging Dark Shadow.

"Eh?" Dark Shadow uttered.

Then, the boy outstretched his hands. His nails grew exponentially, making them very sharp. He aimed for the dark shadow that connected between him and Tokoyami, and was able to land a clean slash. Dark Shadow groaned, so Tokoyami had to call him back.

"Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami called. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Dark Shadow replied.

The boy walked over to the front of Tokoyami and Tsuyu again. He then ran forwards, but Tsuyu fired her tongue. It wrapped around the boy, binding him.

"That's it, Tsu!" Uraraka cheered from the monitor room.

"C'mon, beat him!" Sato and Sero called.

"Thanks, Asui!" Tokoyami called. "Dark Shadow! Now's our chance!"

"Got it!" Dark Shadow replied, diving at the boy again.

Dark Shadow flew straight at the boy again, however, another figure flew in from the sky. He landed a kick onto Dark Shadow's face, forcing him to retreat back into Tokoyami's body. The figure then released the boy from Tsuyu's tongue, who quickly rolled it back.

"You're late, man." The boy complained.

"Sorry." The other figure responded. "I like to make an entrance."

The figure was another boy, a bit different from the other. His hair was in two colors, halved. The left side of his hair and his left eye was in the color of azure, and the right side of his hair and his right eye was in the color of orange. His costume is also in those colors, splitting down the middle.

Tokoyami and Tsuyu both braced themselves. Now, their opponents have revealed themselves. It was all or nothing now.

Shizukesa ga shimikomu you de iki wo tometa gozen goji
(All Might stands triumphantly with light being shone upon him.)

Hijou kaidan de tsume wo kamu asu wa docchi da? THE DAY HAS COME
(Then, Star Saber appears behind him. All Might turns around to see him.)
(When the guitar solo goes in, it cuts to individual shots of the students of Class 1-C.)

Keshite akenai yoru mo furitsuzukete yamanai ame mo
(Class 1-A are having fun together, all walking together towards U.A.)

Kono roku demo nai sekai ni wa arunda yo
(Class 1-A then stops as they were faced with a group of students, Class 1-C, who were walking in from the other direction.)

Sukoshi mo hen de wa nai no madoromi ni ashi wo torareteru
(The background fades to white, leaving both classes in a white void.)

Anata wo semeteiru wake ja nainda yo
(Class 1-A looks on at Class 1-C, with Class 1-C doing the same at Class 1-A.)

Hitori kuusou ni asobu soko de omoi egaita koto made hajiru no kai?
(Daisuke steps forward slowly. He then flips out his DiEnd Blaster and fires off a shot. The screen flashes at he fires the shot.)

Karamiau meikyuu meikyuu soredemo yuku to iu no?
(Star Saber and Eraserhead look at each other and then down below, where Classes 1-A & 1-C were fighting.)

Chiisaki tabibito ga kanaderu hajimari no kane no ne
(Class 1-A just charges in with Bakugo taking the lead.)

Yukuate mo DON'T KNOW DON'T KNOW hontou wa kowai'n ja nai no?
(Sakura jumps into air smiling, Akira puts his arms on fire, Takeru spits into XXR an XXL, Ryotarou slashes with his sword downward, Sento shakes his two Full-Bottles, Fumiko spins her tires on her arms, Jin lunges out like an animal with his arms out.)

Fumidasu sono ippo ippo ga kaete yukeru sa THE DAY HAS COME
(Daisuke stands up, and fires several blasts.)
(As the song ends, the other classmates pose: Miku poses with a baton in her hand with Kusaka holding his Kaixa Phone in Blaster mode; Rei and Ginko stand tall with their hands on their hips; Misao gets into a fighting position with Sora floating beside him; Hiromu twirls a small quill in his hands with Kuroto doing some kind of zombie pose beside him; Tsurugi looks back with his tail right next to his face and his back facing the screen with Shotaro rubbing his hands; Kasumi puts her blades across her face with Akaza towering behind her.)
(To finish off, the whole class picture with Star Saber.)

The monitor room was now bustling.

"Oh! I get it now!" Kirishima realized. "It's a two-on-two fight, right?"

"Precisely!" All Might confirmed. "The matchups were chosen at random, so you won't know opponents!"

The rest of the class began to talk among themselves, but Deku was concentrating on the screen.

"Midoriya?" Iida asked.

"Hm?" Deku replied.

"You seem concerned." Iida mentioned. "What's the matter?"

"No…" Deku said. "I just feel this fight is just a show of wits as well as Quirks."

Deku was right. As of now, no one on either side has made a move. Tokoyami and Tsuyu held their breaths as well as their opponents.

"Oh, right!" The boy with the different eyes called suddenly. "We should introduce ourselves! I'm Takeru!"

"I'm Misao." The other boy added.

"I'm Tokoyami." Tokoyami responded.

"I'm Asui, but call me Tsu." Tsuyu replied.

And with introductions out of the way, each team readied themselves.

"I got Tokoyami." Takeru whispered to Misao.

"And I'll take Tsuyu." Misao whispered back.

Then, without hesitation, both launched forward and hurled themselves towards Tokoyami and Tsuyu. Tokoyami sent out Dark Shadow, but Takeru dodged him, and tackled Tokoyami himself.

"Tokoyami!" Tsuyu called.

She didn't get an answer back, as she got a kick from Misao right to the back of her head.

"So…" Todoroki commented from the monitor room. "They're taking on each other separately?"

"It would seem so." Momo agreed. "That might be evening numbers, but we still don't know what their Quirks are."

"We'll have to wait and see." Todoroki responded.

Tokoyami tumbled to another area of the grounds, with Dark Shadow looming over him. Takeru calmly walked over to him.

"You think separating us will do you good?" Tokoyami called.

"Nope." Takeru responded immediately. "Just evens out the playing field."

Tokoyami grimaced, as Takeru clasped his hands together.

"Dark Shadow!" He called quickly.

Dark Shadow, without saying anything, flew towards Takeru. Luckily, Takeru dodged it by jumping out of the way. However, he didn't expect a quick turnaround from Dark Shadow, as he was in the air from one of his punches.

"Double Up!" He cried.

Dark Shadow went for another punch, but Takeru shone a bright light, weakening him.

"Whoa, what the-?" He muttered.

Just then, two feet extended out of the light, kicking Dark Shadow in the face. He groaned, and he retreated back into Tokoyami, who was squinting in order to not get blinded. Once the light faded, he saw Takeru, and was shocked.

"What in the…?" He spluttered.

Takeru landed in front of Tokoyami, but… something has changed. There were two pairs of legs, two pairs of arms, two bodies, entirely… two people were standing in front of him! One in orange, the other in azure!

"You're me." The orange one told the azure one.

"And I am you." The azure one replied to the orange one.

Then, the two smirked, and then posed together with their outermost shoulders standing side-by-side.

"We'll clear this game…" They said together. "With super co-op!"

Takeru Sashiroku! Quirk: Mighty Brother!

Just like the main character from the popular game series, Mighty Brothers: XX, he can split himself into two people, making him a badass one-man duo!

"Whoa!" Mina cried. "What kind of Quirk is that?!"

"Can we even call it a Quirk?" Sero asked.

All Might didn't have any words either. This was new even to him.

Tokoyami grimaced. He can't call Dark Shadow right now, as Dark Shadow was weakened from the bright flash of light. So, he had no choice. He turned around and began to run. The orange Takeru however, had other ideas. He quickly jumped into the air and landed in front of Tokoyami.

"And where do ya think you're goin', pal?" He smiled.

He then landed a punch right into his gut, causing him to stumble back. Then, the azure Takeru ran up and kicked him in the back, launching Tokoyami forward again. The orange Takeru smiled, and then slammed his fists into Tokoyami's stomach, sending him back again. The azure Takeru turned around and landed a roundhouse kick.

"This isn't looking good for Tokoyami!" Mineta commented. "He's fighting two-on-one right now!"

Class 1-A couldn't do anything right now though. All they could do was watch.

Meanwhile, Tsuyu was currently behind wall. She had been running Misao all this time, and she finally lost him. Or so she thinks.

"Looks like I lost him…" She muttered.

She then looked up to the sky.

'I hope Tokoyami's doing okay…' She thought.

"Now's not the time to worry about others!" shouted a voice.

Tsuyu looked to her side, and then jumped just as Misao sank his claws into the area where she just stood. He was still in wolf form. He saw Tsuyu hopping her way away.

"You can run all you want!" Misao called, reaching into his back. "But you can only run so far!"

He then pulled out a small pole from his back. The pole extended slightly, and there was a small roll of some kind of rope with a crank. He lined the pole up, and then threw it forward, launching the rope with it. The rope soared through the air, and then eventually wrapped around Tsuyu's leg.

"Gotcha!" Misao smiled.

He then grabbed the crank and turned it forward. Tsuyu then fell forward, and felt her body going the other direction. She looked back, and struggled to stop herself, but Misao was too strong. Speaking of which, Misao grabbed the front of his helmet and flipped it up, just like he did the first time.

"Honou kakusei!" He announced.

His mouthguard flipped up, revealing a teethed design. Tsuyu looked back, and saw the form he was in now. She panicked, and began to madly stop herself. However, with one final tug, Tsuyu soared backward, and her body was met with Misao's foot.

"Well, this is quite a haul." Misao chuckled.

Tsuyu grabbed his ankle and tried to move it, but then her eyes met Misao's. She panicked, and tried to get out of her current binding situation.

"Alright then." Misao finally said.

He finally took his foot off of her body, and then kicked her away. He grabbed the two mouthpieces of his helmet that were resting on the forehead, and then flipped them both down.

"Honou kakusei!" He called again.

Then, he threw his rod aside, and planted his feet into the ground. He then crossed his arms right in front of his faces, and then revealed something.

"Yasei Dai Kaihou!" He cried.

With that call, his body went under massive changes. On his shoulders, rhinoceros horns sprouted. Then, his arms changed. His right arm became the tail of a crocodile, and his left arm gained the sharp claws of a wolf. He then got into his battle stance, sending shock to Tsuyu.

Misao Takada! Quirk: Triple the Beasts!

Much like the name, it allows him to use the abilities of the following three animals: a crocodile, a rhinoceros, and a wolf!

Misao bucked a bit with his left feet, and then he charged. Tsuyu cowered, and used her arms to cover her face. However, nothing happened. Tsuyu slowly lowered her arms, only to find that Misao had stopped just shy of her feet. He then stood normally, and then breathed in and out slowly. The rhino horns on his shoulder retreated back into his body, and his arms turned back into normal arms.

"Why…" Tsuyu spoke slowly. "Why did you stop?"

Misao pointed up. As if on cue, an alarm went off, announcing the end of this match.

"Good work, all of you!" All Might spoke through the speakers. "Now, please, clear the area, the next team will be going on soon!"

Misao sighed, and then extended a hand to Tsuyu.

"Need a hand?" Misao asked.

Tsuyu looked at the hand, but then just stood up on her own. She whispered goodbye, and walked away hastily. Misao looked as she just walked away.

Meanwhile, Tokoyami was resting on a nearby bench. He noticed that the Takerus were still as two people, and the orange one was pouting.

"Man…" He complained. "And we were getting to the good part!"

"Come on, we had fun though, right?" The azure one replied.

"Well…" The orange one thought. "I guess."

The azure then put out a hand. The orange one looked at the azure one and grasped his hand. Then, the two shined bright again. With that flash of light, Takeru was back as one being. He gently held his head briefly, and then walked away.

And with that, the two teams exited the stage, giving room to the next group.
