It had been a year since Mellisa was called to her fathers office, a year since they met Wang Jié, a year since she met her BMF Tikki and a year since she met her first real BFF Izuku Midoriya.

Now, after a year of training, they were here at UA, she can see why it's healed in such high regard.

She was sat with the other transfer students in a large auditorium right next to a brunette boy with his hair held in back tied in a ponytail and a fellow stereotypically Caucasian girl with large horns and oddly shaped legs.

Up on the stage stood a lanky blond man with the oddest hair style she'd ever seen, what really interested her though was the speaker system like mechanism around his neck. She wasn't quite familiar with Japan's heroes but she does recall Izuku gushing about his show, Present Mic she believes his name was.

"What Is Up, UA Candidates!!!?"

God he's loud.

"Thanks for tunin' in to me, your school DJ!!!!

C'mon. And lemme hear ya!"

.

.

.

"Keeping it mellow, huh?

That's fine, I'll skip straight to the main show!"

He gestures toward the screen behind him.

"Let's talk about how this practical exam is gonna go down, okay?

Are you ready? Yeah!"

Despite being quite a bit away from Izuku she could still just barely see him whispering excitedly to Nooroo who was hiding in his coat collar."

Then BoomBoom man whispered something to him making him instantly deflate.

F him.

"Like your application said, today you rockin' boys and girls will be out there conducting ten‐minute mock battles in super‐hip urban settings.

Gird your loins, my friends. After I drop the mic here, you'll head to your specified battle center, sound good?!

Okay!?

Okay, okay, let's check out your targets!

There are three types of faux villains in every battle center!

You'll earn points based on their level of difficulty, so better choose wisely!

Your goal in this trial is to use your Quirk to raise your score by shredding these faux villains like a mid‐song guitar solo!!!

But, check it!!

Make sure you're keep'n things heroic!

Attacking other examinees is a UA no‐no, ya dig?"

Suddenly a bluenette shot up garnering the teacher's, and subsequently the students' attention. "Excuse me, sir, but I have a question!"

"Hit me!"

"On the printout, you've listed four types of villains. Not three. With all respect, if this is an error on official UA materials, it is shameful. We are exemplary students. We expect the best from Japan's "most notable school. A mistake such as this won't do"

'Man what a prick,' the young Shield thought with a sigh.

"Additionally, you with the unkempt hair."

!

"You've been muttering this entire time.

Stop that.

If you can't bother to take this seriously, leave.

You're distracting the rest of us."

'Oh Hell No!' If it wasn't for Tikki hurriedly trying to soothe her she'd be launching herself at this jackass at Mach Five, ain't no one gonna talk to her Flyboy like that.

"All right, all right.

Examinee number 7‐1‐1‐1.

Thanks for calling in with your request.

The fourth villain type is worth zero points.

That guy's just an obstacle we'll be throwing in your way.

There's one in every battle center.

Think of it as a hurdle you should try to avoid.

It's not that it can't be beaten, but there's...kinda no point.

I recommend my listeners try to ignore it and focus on the ones toppin' the charts."

It was at that moment that Mellisa took a closer look at the scene standing behind the pro, they were all Mario references. Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Piranha Plant and a Twomp, this made her happy, this made her really happy.

Who knows, maybe Dr. Mario works here and maybe Luigi's the custodian.

"That's all I got for you today.

I'll sign off with a little present.

A sample of our school motto!

As General Napoleon Bonaparte once laid down.

'A true hero is one who overcomes life's misfortunes.'

Mm‐hm. Now that's a tasty soundbite.

You ready to go beyond?

Let's hear a Plus Ultra!

Good luck!

Hope you practiced hitting more than just books."

To say Izuku was nervous would be an understatement, and the bespectacled boy definitely didn't help matters, even less so when he realized they were going to the same arena, great.

Taking a few deep breaths Izuku took out a thermos filled with coffee and let Norro sip some before chugging some down himself, darn this addiction.

"Ready No-Kai?" Izuku said to his magical friend.

"Hehe ready Izuku san."

Then without warning there was a loud buzz as PresentMic shouted,

"Get moving!"

"There are no countdowns in real battles.

Run, run, run, listeners!

You're wasting airtime here."

As the rest of the students started running Izuku and Mellisa in their respective areas nodded to their Kwami.

"Norro!"

"Tikki!"

Those still collecting themselves or staying back looked over to the miraculous wielders in confusion.

"Wings Rise!"

"Spots On!"

Furattāsouru

Izuku is shown in purple gradient void

Noroo flies into the Miraculous as Izuku looks on with a determined expression

Izuku spins wildly as giant fabric butterfly wings burst out of his back making him hunch over

The wings then wrap around his body forming a tailed coat as a vest and shirt appear

Izuku spins once more with a purple light ring trailing down his legs as he gains formal pants and shoes

A purple fedora with a green band appears landing on his head as Midoriya reaches up to tip it down, his hands now baring formal gloves

He then flicks his fingers in front of his face making a silver butterfly mask appear

The view pulls back showing Midoriya grab his cane firmly

He takes a determined pose as a large butterfly logo appears behind him

—————————————————————————————————————

LuckyLady

Melissa is shown in a red gradient void

The view pulls close to her earrings as Tikki flies into them

Her hand is shown as a pink energy traverses it as her outfit is replaced with a black bodysuit

She pounds her fist together as long red gloves over her hands as she looks on with a determined expression

Pink energy traverse down her form as a red line traverses down her sides with her midriff covered completely in red

The magic continues to trail down with the line continuing until just under her knees as a pair of red boots formed

The view is then brought to her back as a large round pack is former attached to a black visor

Melissa then holds a yo-yo that appears in her hands which then spins around finally striking a pose as a black spots appear around the red parts of her suit as a Ladybug logo appeared behind her

—————————————————————————————————————

They then race down their respective city scapes, Izuku forming wings from his jacket and Mellisa using her yo-yo to swing around like a web slinger.

Quickly they found clusters of bots which they took care of swiftly, Midoriya unsheathing his sword to slice them while Mellisa wrapped her yo-yo around then pulling and crushing them.

On Melissa's end things were going pretty well as she made her way through enemy bots, but as she was focused on taking down a couple two pointers a one pointer managed to sneak up on her but just before it could attack….

boop

A couple of small tendrils poked an off button under them.

"Heya," a purplenette girl said as she walked around the bot retracting the tendrils into her ear, said tendrils appearing to resemble earphone jacks.

"Oh, hi thanks for the save there, uh…."

"Jiro Kyoka"

"Mellisa Shield"

"Didn't know we were allowed to wear full costumes," Jiro said curiously.

"Oh it's not really a costume, it's actually my quirk."

"Really that's actually pretty cool, especially compared to mind…"

"Hey your quirk looks pretty cool and you did use it to save me so that outa count for something!"

"Heh thanks."

"No problem, oh actually I have a friend who would love to learn about your quirk. Maybe we could meet up later."

"Sure, don't see why not."

Up in the viewing area UA's staff watched on as the contestants gave their all, a familiar small rodent in a suit spoke "Clearly, the examinees have no idea how many villains are present, at their locations. They have limited time, so they need to cover a vast area, and hunt down every last target." He peered at one screen showing a multi armed boy forming ears and eyes via his arms, "Some use information‐gathering abilities to plan out strategies." He then peered at a screen showing the bluenette with strong build and what appears to be pipes in his calves, "While others rely on speed to pull ahead of their peers." He then turns to Jiro using her jacks to turn off the bots with a rather tired expression, "Of course, remaining calm under pressure can be a huge advantage." Then he turns to Katsuki tearing through bots like they were paper, "As can pure power and combat ability." The most successful students," he stared at a screen showing Mellisa and Izuku quickly taking down the bots with determined grins on their faces, "use a combination of all these tactics." He gives an evil grin," They're the ones who rack up the highest scores.

"Hmm, don't think I've ever seen a quirk that makes its own costume and support items." A mature woman, in a questionably appropriate costume, points out.

"Hmm, yes, Midoriya and Shield's quirks sure are interesting," Nezu replied.

This got most of the staff's attention, none more so than a tall blonde skeletal man.

"Shield as in Mellisa Shield aka daughter of David Shield?" A red head in with an excavator claw helmet questioned in shock.

"I thought she was quirkless?" Another teacher said inquisicaly.

"Hmm, yes, so was the young Midoriya. However in truth they possess what is known as a Kwami quirk."

"Kwami quirk?" The skeletal man asked a slight edge in his voice.

"Yes, a Kwami quirk, a unique quirk in which the possessor is able to fully connect with Kwami's, creatures once created by one of the first known quirks. They are scarcely known due to their rarity."

The lanky blond seemed to relax at the answer.

"Regardless, I'd say this year's group looks promising."

"Well, there's still plenty of time before it's over." A man in a cowboy costume said as he reached for a button, "The real test has yet to come." He presses the button,

"Let's see how they react."

There is a loud rumbling when all of a sudden a giant robot dwarfing most of the city appears, shocking most of the examinees.

"What the heck!"

"Isn't this a little extreme?"

Now things get interesting. A person's true character is revealed when they're faced with danger.

"Less than two minutes remaining!"

Melissa and Izuku were about to run when suddenly,

"OW!!"

They turned around and both saw a person trapped in the rubble right in the robots way. Ochako and Jiro.

"Nezu sir, two students appear to be trapped in their respective villains' way, shall I have it evade them?"

"….no."

There are no combat points rewarded for taking on the humongous villain. But there is...Opportunity. A chance to shine.

"LuckyCharm!"

"Akumitization!"

Much to the spectators' shock, as the duo shouted those phrases something quite peculiar happened. Izuku clasped his hands around one of his butterflies as he starts flying toward the hulking beast, his hands emitting purple energy while Mellisa throws her yo-yo into the air as red energy spills from it forming a red pole with black dots that she quickly grabs as she rubs toward her own bot.

Once he reached the 0 pointer Izuku plunged his staff into the mechanical monster's mountainous treads as he floated holding it in place, halting it temporarily.

As he did so a tiny black butterfly flew down to the trapped girl landing on her jacket turning it a dark grey.

"Gravity Girl, I am Midoriya Izuku, the boy who fell at the front gate." Izuku's voice rang as a pink butterfly symbol appeared over both their faces.

"Huh!?"

"Sorry I used my quirk on you but I figured it'd be bad luck to get crushed on the first day.

My quirk allows me to empower others if they feel a strong enough emotion, I can only keep this thing in place for a little bit and I don't know if anyone else is in its path of destruction.

Will you please allow me to empower you so everyone can come out of this safe and sound?" Izuku said as he struggled against the mechanized monstrosity.

After taking moment to process everything she gave a sharp nod as she said a quiet but determined, "yes"

"Then I hereby proclaim you Gravity Girl!"

The viewing area was in a state of shock as they watched the scene play out.

It was one thing for a quirk to give its person some sort of super suit but this was a step too far in the bizar.

After what appeared to be a conversation made between the sharp dressed boy and the blush sticker girl using…. pink butterfly outlines(!?!?), said girl was covered in dark purple smog.

As the mist dissipated the girl stoo- no floated proudly, she was maybe a foot talker adorned with a white jump suit and combat boots, a puffy black jacket astronaut esc helmet, what hair as visible looked in appearance like the start night sky.

Almost too casually she blew the beastly bot back with a signal punch.

"WHAT TYPE IF QUIRK IS THAT!!!!?"

"we'll as stated previously-"

"You know what I meant!!"

Over in Mellisa's area she used the pole as a lever to lift the boulder off Jiro's leg.

"So we meet again, cool girl, and looks like I'm the one saving you this time."

"Bite me"

Once they swung back to the start Mellisa laid Jiro on the floor before taking out her yo-yo, sliding it apart.

She messed around with the weapons interface before holding it up to her ear, much to the confusion of her fellow examinees.

"Yello"

"Hey fly boy, just saved a girl from the 0 pointer, how things on your end?"

"Woah same, I empowered the girl from earlier. She's currently getting everyone out from the ruble."

True to his words Gravity Girl was currently saving her fellow examinees via a yellow zero point ray she fired from her hands.

"This is the best thing ever!!!"

"She seems to be enjoying it."

"Think you got everyone?"

"Hmm, seems like it."

"Want me to do the thing?"

"…….do it"

A broad smile worked itself on to Mellisa's face as she disconnected the call.

"Hey Jiro, watch this." She said slyly as hoisted up the pole much to the purplenettes interest.

Back in the operating room the teachers attention was almost solely on the two miraculous bearers.

"What's she doing?"

"Something I'm sure you'll take great interest in, Powerloader would you be so kind as to increase the volume for her."

As the teachers watched on Mellisa threw pole into the air shouting,

"MIRACULOUS LADYBUGS"

Causing the creation to burst into unknown hundreds of red and black critters that flew around the field healing the examinees and repairing their equipment.

It wasn't just in her area either, they found their way all across the false cities doing their thing until they reached Midoriya's area, after doing their work there they circled around GravityGirl transforming her back as a little black butterfly rested on her jacket.

Their work done, they dispersed into the unknown.

"Whoa"

As the nice girl tried to shake her shock Izuku held his hand out to the butterfly, once it landed on his hand he waved his other one over it causing the black coating to seemingly flake off leaving just a normal butterfly in its place. "Bye bye little butterfly."

"And That's It, Time's Up!!!!!"

Author's Note

And that is it, sorry about the wait, school year just started so I'm officially a college freshman.

Hope everyone likes the dynamic between Izuku and Mellisa.

And of course we got our first champion-GravityGirl

Who do you think will be next?

D3lph0xL0v3r

KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!

YAY! MELISSA'S THE LB!

I Can't wait to see what will happen Next!

I'd Love to see what Izuku could do with the Butterflies; and How Melissa Shield handles the Test!

I Mean; I Like that Nooroo's special food is Coffee; since I'm Not Sure Humans could even drink Nectar. . .

Thank you.

Glad you liked my choice.

I certainly look forward to writing a heroic butterfly miraculous user.

I mainly was trying to figure out a food/drink that fit the empowerment theme, and what works better then the stimulant that kicked off the renaissance.

What the pairing of the story... Izuku x Melissa?

Right now no, but I may decide otherwise.

Currently I'm planning. Izuchako
