(Read very slowly and PLAY the following song: "Until the Sun Dies feat. Fakevinyl" by Lushlife - Topic)
The city of Musutafu is quiet and serene, not a soul is stirring with everything from the dew of the leaves to the flicker of wind is still and in place. As if the entire city was asleep. But it begins to open its eyes to the welcoming sun that shines over the horizon casting the glow of a new tomorrow over the city.
The sun gently peaks through the curtains, shining into Izuku Midoriya's face just as his alarm sounds. With a yawn Izuku shuts off the alarm and rises with a chipper smile on his face. He stretches and breathes, taking a moment to enjoy the morning. His hair free and messy with bed head and his pajamas are wrinkled and covers thrown to the floor. But what's got his attention are the new decorations and items laid out across the room, all of his souvenirs from his summer vacation: like the blue pine tree hat, a massive wood carving, and a weird taxidermy trout. Several ornaments from the temple sit on his dresser beside photos of him and his Dad or Mom enjoying some family memories both new and old.
And it all just fills him with satisfaction as he springs to his feet and gets ready for the day.
He quickly gets to the shower, soaking in the warmth before drying off and jumping back into his pajamas. His hair becomes wild and puffy in the steam as he brushes his teeth with a little sway to his hips as he hums. He's in such a good mood he glides his finger over the foggy mirror, drawing a smiley face over his reflection.
Back to his room he goes through the parts of his uniform in a set routine. First socks, shirt, pants, tie, and jacket before checking himself in the mirror. Something's not right, he thinks before deciding that the jacket's got to go. It's way too hot for that and it anyway. He needs something else.
After thinking on it and trying different ways to wear the uniform from untucked shirt, loose tie, and even no belt it finally hits him as his eye catches a glint of emerald.
Without even hesitating he grabs his green and black hoodie off his chair and loops it around his waist before taking another look at the mirror and admiring himself for his own charm.
With a skip he basically jumps out of the room and into the living room where breakfast is waiting. His Mom's over the stove getting the food ready and having just put it all on a plate. With a spin and a skip, he glides over and pecks her cheek with a good morning kiss while swiping the plate and sliding into his seat. Beside him his Dad greets him with a smile before turning back to his morning newspaper.
Breakfast is perfect with everything Izuku loves from an American style breakfast: eggs, hash browns, pancakes, bacon, and fruit. Nothing could be better. Well, except for some Katsudon.
He nearly inhales it all in seconds, downing his juice before getting up and wishing his parents farewell with hugs and kisses.
He rushes to the living room, jumping over the couch and grabs his suitcase before hauling it away for the door.
He stops when he's met with his father's smiling before the doorway.
Gazing at his pride and joy, Hisashi hands him his yellow backpack, it's packed, filled to the brim with extra supplies and luggage that he'd thought Izuku might need.
Slinging over his shoulder, Izuku hugs his Dad before shoving his way through the door and away towards the train, nearly bumping into Mr. Baumann as he does.
With a sheepish smile and bow in apology Izuku hurries before the old man could chew him out. But the store owner chuckles and waves it off, finding Izuku's good mood infectious.
Hisashi and Inko wave him goodbye. His head popping over the stairwell to wave back before he disappears, running and jumping down each stair as he goes.
They watch on, until he's nothing but a green dot on the street below.
Inko, knowing he's gone, returns to their home to clean up their meal. But Hisashi stays, his smile fading ever so silently as he can't help but worry. But shakes it off allowing the good times to return before drawing the door closed.
Ch.66 The Beast's Forest
"You've finished your first semester at U.A High. You've had your fun. And you've enjoyed your summers. That's over now. This camp is not a vacation." Shota Aizawa pauses mid speech, eyeing each of his student's reactions. They're a mix of excitement, trepidation, seriousness, or outright oblivious to what's to come. So, he better set them straight. "Don't think these will be weeks of rest for you heroes in the making. At this camp we will push you to go beyond your limits. You're aiming to become Plus Ultra."
"Yes, sir!" Every member of Class 1-A from Aoyama to Shinso call out in response.
And it was a good thing Aizawa said what he had to as his students immediately begin chattering away again and ignoring him. Understandable since most of them haven't seen each other during the last few weeks. But they better make the most of it since the buses are already here and waiting to take them away.
"I'm so psyched!" Ochaco Uraraka runs up to Izuku, her smile wide and brimming with excitement. "I've been looking forward to this camp all summer, Deku!"
"Oh, yeah! It took forever to get here." Izuku comments with a pained smile, almost like he never thought he'd make it here. "I was almost starting to think it was never gonna happen."
Honestly, compared to what he's had to deal with this summer, this training camp might, in comparison, be easy mode for him. No monsters. No villains. No aliens. Just him and his friends in the big outdoors, far from society, with no one to bother them. Yeah, it's gonna be a great time.
And it appears everyone else thinks so too as they're all bouncing around restlessly.
"This is awesome!" Mina Ashido cheers. "Everyone, let's give it up for camp!"
"Camp! Camp! Camp!" Her, Denki, and even Ochaco all jump in and begin clapping their hands with every cheer.
Izuku laughs, falling into their own joy as well. 'Wow, they're all sure excited.'
Too bad the moment is ruined by a screeching wail of envy and shameless mirth. "I heard some of Class 1-A is taking extra courses! Does that mean they actually failed the Final Exams?!" Neito Monoma howls with glee, faking a gasp before ranting on with a crazed grin stretched across his face. "That must be so embarrassing! Especially since you're supposed to be so much better than my class! ALL OF YOU MUST BE WALLOWING IN SHAME-Eek!"
With a single chop to the next Monoma instantly collapses to the ground, lying there like a sack of rocks as Itsuka Kendo stands over him with an indifferent look on her face, a clear sign that she's far too used to this kind of behavior from him.
"Don't mind him." She condolences as she grabs his leg and drags him away to the bus while the rest of the entire Hero program watches on.
Reiko Yanagi, a pale-skinned young woman with chin-length, pale gray hair that obscures the majority of the left side of her face, shrinks back as Monoma's dragged past her and her classmates. "Monoma's scary."
Izuku nearly jumps out of his skin, having not even noticed that any of them were right there behind him. "Oh, the rest of Class B!"
Setsuna Tokage flashes him a smile with her sharp lizard-like teeth. "It's nice to see you outside the Sports Festival, I guess now we're not technically rivals."
Yui Kodai nods in greeting as well, her bob-cut hair bouncing a bit as she does.
"Time to get on the bus!" Kendo calls from beside the bus before she drags the unconscious Monoma inside without a care if he hits his head on the steps.
"Okay!" Class B hurry after their Class Pres., with the girls of the class running up to the bus first.
"The girls of Class A and Class B…" Minoru Mineta is literally drooling buckets, his height being a way too advantages for anyone's liking considering that all the girls are in their school uniforms. "It's like a buffet of bombshells."
Eijiro Kirishima has half a mind to slap him. "Dude, get yourself together. For real."
But Hitoshi Shinso seems ready to actually follow through with his intuition. "Should I tie him to the bumper?"
Kirishima laughs albeit nervously. "L-let's not resort to that… Yet."
"Attention Class A our bus is here!" Tenya Iida shouts for the whole world to hear as his arms chop away at the air like he's a psychotic robot. "Everyone line up in seating order! Aaah!"
But he's tossed aside as his classmates completely ignore his orders and flood the bus.
"Order! Please! Everyone! ORDER!"
The bus ride is smooth and going by rather nicely, it's moving at a decent enough speed so they should be arriving at their destination before long.
Good, that still gives Aizawa plenty of time to get his students ready. "Here's the deal, we'll be on this bus for an hour before our first stop. Make sure you stay focused."
But his orders go unnoticed as Denki shouts over him. "Why aren't we blasting some music?!"
He's not the only one shouting every single one of them are busy chatting away while all trying to talk over one another. They laugh, they talk, share summertime memories, while others press their faces to the windows and pump their arms signaling the nearby semi-truck to honk their horns.
But then there is the outlier that is Iida who is trying to reign in this circus. "No one should be standing, that is a safety hazard!" Of course, he shouts this while he himself is standing. "Please stay seated! Do not open that window!"
Aizawa's dumbfounded to say the least, but then again, what did he expect? 'Why do I bother? Well, I guess this is the only time they'll have to fool around.'
Mina throws herself over the back of the seat, leaning over Jiro after she's been eavesdropping. "A music festival?! Jealous!"
"Yeah!" Kirishima leans over from across the aisle. "You have to get us tickets for next time!" "You got it." Jiro promises. "Heck I'll bring everyone. Well, as long as the weather holds up."
Meanwhile, Toru Hagakure is peering over from beside Mina, but her attention is on her conversation with Momo. "No way? Are you serious?"
Momo Yaoyorozu nods in regret. "Afraid so. No matter how many times I block his messages, he still manages to get around it and message me. He keeps asking for all of your numbers."
"Eww. Jeez, I knew that Billions kid was a creep but for real."
From the row ahead Ochaco is leaning over Tsuyu's shoulder while Shoji's eyeballed arm reaches over.
"Aw, your little sister and brother are so cute!" Ochaco coos.
"That's your grandfather?" asks Mezo Shoji. "By any chance was he a sailor?"
"Yup, Navy. Kero."
Koji Koda, who's sitting beside Shoji, chimes in. "I bet you saw all kinds of wildlife!"
"You have no idea." Tsuyu responds with a knowing smile. "That lake had the biggest fish I've ever seen. It was a real monster. Kero."
Shinso, meanwhile, is chatting away with Shoto and Tokoyami in the backseats. "I heard you were stuck with your old man all summer."
Shoto Todoroki nods. "Yes. He wanted to show me first-hand the work of a hero."
Fumikage Tokoyami fully understands, plus he was there. "My mother felt the same way. Albeit through the police force."
Shinso grabs their shoulders and shivers as a dreadfully agonizing memory plays in his own mind. "I feel your pain, Mr. Aizawa had me running courses after courses in the hopes I'd catch up to you all." A bone chilling shiver runs down his spine. "I can only imagine what he has planned for us."
The three peer over to the front and stare holes into the back of Aizawa's head. And for a moment they could have sworn they saw him smirk.
Tokoyami grips Shinso's hand in an attempt to comfort him. "Take heart, friend. We shall face the upcoming trials together."
Having finally gotten Sero and Ojiro to sit down, Iida finally takes his own seat beside Izuku. "So, Midoriya tell me. How was your summer?"
Izuku gives him a genuine smile in return. "It was great. My Dad and I took a road trip together. It was a lot of fun!"
"So admirable!" So much so that Iida is apparently driven to tears. "I know your relationship with your father is strained but to hear you both tried to move forward is nothing short of heartwarming! I bet it was both enlightening and I assume a relaxing experience."
"Relaxing isn't the word I would use. More like hectic and stressful." And that's just putting it lightly. 'Honestly, this summer camp might just be the vacation from my vacation.'
And his vacation can start now that they arrived at their first stop.
Even though it was only an hour everyone was ready to get off that bus. Unlike Izuku who spent the summer in a cramped RV, none of them are exactly used to long hours on the road. So, this break was a much needed one for all of them.
Especially Mineta who's scurrying around this way and that across the empty outlook. "Let me through, I gotta pee!"
But there's nothing in sight. They pulled off over a cliffside looking over a thick mountain forest. And the only other thing there is a lone car parked off to the side by the railing.
Kirishima frowns as he looks around for a building or even a bench. "Huh, this isn't much of a rest area."
"No. And where's Class B?" Jiro asks, wondering where they're bus could be.
"You don't really think we stopped here just so you can stretch your legs, do you?" Aizawa rhetorically asks, causing all of them to panic internally.
But Mineta's having a different kind of panic as he grows more desperate as his bladder threatens to fail. "P-please, sir, the t-toilet."
Before he could even acknowledge the question, the doors to the nearby car swing open and a woman's voice calls out. "Heya, Eraser!"
With a bored expression, Aizawa bows his head in greeting. "Long time no see. Mandalay. Pixie-Bob."
"Your feline fantasies are here! Say, meow!" A woman with red banged hair winks and poses at the students while wearing a red-pink costume.
And following her out is a similarly dressed woman in blue and with blonde hair. "Purrfectly cute and catlike girls!"
They both strike a well-practiced pose before announcing who they are to the world. "You can call us the Wild, Wild Pussycats!"
They pause for applause but there is none as everyone just stares. Including a little boy with a Bakugou-like scowl who's watching off to the side with disinterest.
Class A is at a loss before Aizawa explains. "These are the pro heroes you'll be working with at the Summer Training Camp."
And on que, Izuku rightfully nerds out much to everyone's discomfort. "They're a four-person hero team who specialize in mountain rescues! The Pussycats were founded when we were kids, like forever ago!"
The two heroines gasp in pain after catching his little spiel.
"This marks their 12th year working as a-"
Suddenly there's a gloved-paw grabbing his face and even though he can see her he can sense the deadly aura coming off Pixie-Bob. "I'm pretty sure your math must be off!" Her grip tightens around his head, and he can feel the cat-like nails piercing just ever so slightly into his scalp.
"I'm 18 at heart."
Although she said that with a cutesy voice, her underlying threat was well received.
"U-Understood."
Kirishima and Denki cringe as they watch. 'That's so sad.'
Aizawa, however, tries to move things on. "Everyone, say hello."
"Hello! Nice to meet you!" The students greet all at once.
With that out of the way, Mandalay gets right to it and gestures towards the valley. "We own this whole stretch of land out here. Everything you can see. The summer camp you're staying at is there at the base of the mountain."
"That's far!" They can't even make any buildings out thanks to all the sea of thick trees in the way.
A familiar sense of dread warns Ochaco about some devious plot. "Uh. Then why did we stop all the way up here instead?"
Tsuyu starts to back away. "I'm afraid we both know the answer to that."
Rikido Sato tries to deny it, fully falling into a state of delusions. "That can't be right."
Sero laughs nervously as he tip-toes his way backwards. "Um. Back on the bus. Q-Quick. Let's go."
Denki is already moving. "Good idea. Load up!"
Nobody dares to say otherwise, not even Iida.
However, Mandalay can't have that. But that's fine, this was expected in fact. What a delight, this will make this all that more fun. "The current time is 9:30 in the morning. If you're fast about it, you might make it there by noon."
The reality sets in, dropping like a ton of bricks over them all.
"No way! Guys!" Kirishima screams.
"Holy crap!" Mina gasps before they all start running away.
"Save yourselves!" Kirishima roars as they all scramble back for the bus
A smirk e stretches across Mandalay's face, like a feline watching mice helplessly scurrying about. "Kitties who don't make it there by 12:30 won't get any lunch!"
Aizawa watches them all run away with a bored and indifferent expression, which is nothing but a facade to hide the glee he gets from watching their terrified reactions. "You should have guessed, students. The training camp-"
They're cut off from the bus as a too enthusiastic Pixie-Bob lands down before them.
"-has already begun."
Pixie-Bob slams her hand against the ground causing the earth underneath to shake and glow blue just before the earth itself gives out from underneath and sweeps them all away like a tidal wave!
"AAAAAaaaaahhhhh!"
Ochaco can't believe it, they're just hurling them off a cliff. A cliff! "What the heck?!"
"She must be controlling the ground!" Izuku screams as he's hurled past her in the wave of earth and soil.
"AAAAAaaaaahhhhh!"
Clay and rock rain down over them as they all crash onto the forest floor below. Thankfully unharmed but shaken and already in need of showers.
"Good news!" Mandalay calls down from above. "Since this is private land, you can use your Quirks as much as you want to. You've got three full hours. You should be able to make it to the facility in that time. That is, if you can get through The Beast's Forest."
The students all spin around and gaze into the forest. And the view from above did not do the place any justice. The forest is layered with giant trees as thick as cars with such a compact canopy of leaves that hardly any light is peeking through to the nearly bare forest floor.
"The Beast's Forest?!" Izuku backs away from the trees, figuring it must have that name for a reason.
Even Denki sees that something's up. "That sounds like a name right out of a fantasy game."
"Why do we keep falling for Aizawa's little tricks?" Jiro whines while others around her grumble and dust themselves off.
Shinso glares daggers up at the cliffside. "I swear that guy enjoys torturing us."
Kirishima lets out a sigh as he cleans up his shirt. "I guess there's no use complaining. Might as well get going."
Mineta's way ahead of him since he's already ran into the woods at full speed. 'I held it. Didn't spring a single leak. Now to find a secluded spot!'
But before he can relieve himself the ground shakes, tripping him up and forcing him to stop as a low beastly growl meets his ears.
And before he can fully understand what it was, something colossal emerges from the brush. A beast, a monster of imposing stature with earth-cladded armor, massive root-like tusks, and rocks for fangs rises over the teen.
"We're all gonna die!" Denki and Sero cry out in horror as the earth-armored beast shakes the ground with each stomp of its claws.
Ochaco and Izuku gasp, wondering if it could be one of Dr. Animo's mutations! Assuming it is, Izuku hurries and transforms.
And although they're all struck with surprise and fear, Mineta feels relief as his suffering is finally released.
"RAAAAAAWR!" The earthly monster lets out a thunderous roar as it raises its claw up, aiming to crush Mineta.
Sensing the danger, Koda rushes forth while calling out to the beast to stop its attack. "Please calm yourself my giant friend! You don't want to hurt them!"
But it's no use as the colossal monster goes for the kill.
A snare of vines snatch Mineta right up and pull him away just as the massive claw smashes into the earth.
Wildvine swings himself and Mineta away, but even as he makes his rescue, he keeps his one eye on the beast in case it tries again. 'Koda's power lets him control animals, but is this one immune? Or is it an alien?!'
As the monster rips its claw out of the ground, a chunk of its armor crumbles away exposing that it's nothing more than a hollow shell.
'A dirt clod?' A smirk stretches across Wildvine's face, he should have known that Mr. Aizawa would come up with something like this. Well, he might as well play align then. 'In that case-' With a flourish and swirl of his tendrils, Wildvine's vines rip through the ground like serpents racing through water.
They rip and tear with blinding speed as the earth-bound monster unleashes a devastating roar. "RAAAAAAWR!"
Meanwhile from up on top of the cliff, Pixie-Bob is playfully humming to herself as she controls the monster. Losing herself to her fun and cat-like playfulness.
Mandalay, however, is still a bit skeptical about all this. "Don't you think you've got them on a pretty crazy schedule, Eraser?"
"Yeah." And he's proud of it. "We're hoping we get an entire second semester's worth of knowledge in them here. That's going to take an intense amount of work. But the rewards will be worth it. They'll get permits to use their Quirks if there's ever an emergency. And provisional licenses that will allow them to work as heroes. Most importantly, with all the villainous activity we've been tracking they need to be able to defend themselves."
Suddenly a thundering rattle of broken earth and trees startle them. They spin around to find a pillar of thorns and vines all spiraled together around the broken and still form of Pixie-Bob's earth monster.
Aizawa doesn't even bat an eye, sighing as he assumes it's Midoriya's handy work. "I trust that I can count on you, Pixie-Bob."
Pixie-Bob is stunned, terrified since the massive thorns of the pillar are only feet away from her. But soon that shock turns to gleeful excitement at the prospect of a challenge. "Leave it to me! Oh, wow, my fur's standing on end! That little mouse of a Rising Star of yours has a real bite to him!"
Even Aizawa has to acknowledge that fact. "That he does."
While they watch on as the students' struggle begins the bus gets ready to depart and head down to the camp. After all, it has to drop off all of the students' bags and luggage. There's Bakugou's suitcase, Kirishima's duffle bag, and more like Izuku's own yellow backpack. Which is stirring just ever so slightly until it zips itself open from the inside.
The pillar of vines and thorns tower over the students, its peak having ripped through the canopy allowing light to pour in like a spotlight over Midoriya's seemingly newest alien. Wildvine grins as he rips his hand free of the thorny pillar and smirks up at the sky as clods of clay crumble down from the monster's hide. "Ehehe. Now that's what I call being one with nature."
He may be laughing but half the class is not at all enjoying this. Most of them stare in disbelief with their jaws hanging off their faces. "SINCE WHEN!?"
Kirishima, however, recognizes this form. "Hey, it's Plant Dude!"
"Wildvine!" The transformed Izuku corrects with a snap.
"Right, sorry."
Hagakure looks over to their friends and asks. "But didn't he use the word Wild already?"
Jiro shrugs in response. "Yeah, guess he got lazy with the names."
Ojiro drags a hand down his face in an attempt to shrug off his surprise. "He's a talking tree now? Shit, that's both cliche yet cool all at once."
Denki chuckles as he pats Ojiro's shoulder. "If you think that's cool just wait until you see the rest of his new transformations!"
"THERE ARE MORE!?" Half the class yells out.
"Hey, no spoilers!" Wildvine barks. "I'd rather show them myself!"
A growl from above reaches their ears and peering up they can spot the shadow of a massive, winged monster gliding over the canopy.
Wildvine grins appreciating the monster's timing. "And Wildvine still has more to show!"
He rips out the pods from his back and slings them forward like spinning discs. The pods pierce through the canopy and explode against the monster causing leaves and branches to shatter and rip away.
"Ha!" Wildvine cheers assuming the monster was destroyed.
"RAWR!" The damaged monster crashes through the canopy, its wings torn but its main body still fit enough to attack.
A pink blur and a fiery boom rocket themselves up towards the monster. And with a combined SMASH and Explosion the monster's reduced to nothing but rubble and dust.
"Don't think you can go showing off, Deku!" Katsuki Bakugou shouts. "Idiot! Fucking make sure it's dead first!"
"Focus! There's more of them!" Ochaco warns as she floats back down to the ground.
On her warning, more growls and stomps echo through the woods alerting the others of the incoming threats.
"Hey, come on!" Denki whines. "Don't you think this is a little unfair?"
Mina backs away from the foreboding woods. "What now? Do we run?"
Sato's not sure but he knows what he's more concerned about. "Not good. If we don't make it to the camp fast enough, then we won't get anything to eat."
And it seems Momo has the same worry. "He's right! We have no choice but to cut through these woods using the shortest possible route!"
Tsuyu ribbits and nods as does Tokoyami, Hagakure, and Koda.
"Alright. Let's go, Class A!" Iida declares getting his class charged up for the fight ahead.
"YEAH!" And it works as they all shout out in determined unison.
And they're off, moving as a herd but splitting up into smaller packs to take on the incoming enemies while making sure they all stick close as one big group.
Using his Dupli-Arms Shoji scans the trees for any and all enemies. "I spot three up ahead. And two flanking each side."
Jiro is beside him, her Earphone Jack pierced into a nearby tree root. "I hear five more coming from behind us. So, ten total. They're coming!"
At the same time a dragon-like clay monster breaks through the canopy and attacks.
"All right. I've got this one!" Sero swings himself up into the branches where he binds up the clay dragon's wings in Tape, lassoing them together and causing the dragon to crash onto the forest floor below.
"Sato! Kirishima!"
Sato chomps down on some cubes of sugar that he happened to have in his pocket, allowing him to bulk up, his muscles ripping through his uniform in mass. And Kirishima's entire body hardens, becoming a jagged fortress of manliness. They both charge the dragon delivering blows to its gut before Sato delivers one hell of an uppercut to its jaw.
As the dragon crumbles away, another colossal monster takes its place, coming from the wood in a full on charge.
"Dark Shadow!" Seeing this, Tokoyami roars, summoning his familiar.
"Got it!" Dark Shadow snakes through the air and tears its claws into the monster, shoving it back before ripping it apart.
Tokoyami's not the only one bringing the pain as Ojiro slams his Tail into a clay cyclops, knocking it off balance and slamming it against several trees.
"Aoyama! You're up!" Ojiro calls out as he hurries away.
"Bonjour!" With a wink and a smile Aoyama fires his Naval Laser which totally decimates the clay cyclops.
"Damn it!" Tears are streaming down Mineta's face even as he charges one of the giant monsters. "If it weren't for you monsters, my pants wouldn't be wet right now!"
He's throwing out Pop-Off balls like nobody's business causing the monster's limbs and claws to get stuck to the ground and giant trees.
And with a lizard-like monster pinned in plan Denki runs up its tail and back. "Mineta, get outta here!" He lands on the monster's head and holds on like he's a rodeo champion. "One Point Three Million Volts!"
He releases a massive discharge of electricity that fries the monster into dust, but it also leaves Denki in a giggling dumbass mess.
But no one can hear his giggling over Koda's own poetic shouting. "Lovely birds of the forest! Remove this evil beast and restore peace to this wood!"
Forest birds of all kinds are swarming and floating around a single clay monster, causing it to panic and swat at them to no avail.
"Take that!" With its attention diverted, Mina rushes in and splashes the monster's leg with Acid causing the limb to give out and bring the beast to its knees.
"Oh, no! I'm completely helpless! It's gonna eat me!" Hagakure feigns fear as she quotes-on-quote runs away from a pursuing clay beast, luring it towards their trap.
Momo smiles from afar as she awaits the ambush. "Good, Hagakure. Perfect distraction."
Mina runs past Hagakure, and they both share a high five before swapping places. Mina dives between the monster's legs and splashes its leg too with Acid. Bringing it down to its knees beside its kneeling brethren.
With the two down and stuck in one place Momo calls out to her classmates. "Everyone, quick! Take cover now!"
They all hurry away and just in time as cannonballs explode into the monsters, blasting them apart.
"That was amazing, Momo!" Mina gushes while Momo stands tall beside a massive battle cannon she created.
From the other side of the group, Ochaco is racing through the trees bouncing and ricocheting off of them until she reaches her targets. She slaps her hands against the first monster, leaps away, and touches the second, before jumping again and slamming her powered fist into the third shattering it to bits.
"Tsu! Shinso! They're all yours!" She calls out, hanging back and watching them do their parts.
"Leave it to us!" Tsuyu calls back as she wraps her tongue around one of the beasts and flings it upward to the sky.
"These things are gonna get annoying real quick!" Shinso yells as he wraps his Capture Scarf around the other creature's tail.
Gripping the scarf, he spins and spins, spinning the weightless beast around before throwing it away into the sky.
"And now, Release!" Ochaco presses her fingers together causing the clay monsters to come crashing back down onto even more of their kind.
"Nice job guys!" Ochaco cheers as the horde of monsters break away.
Tsuyu looks over at Shinso and his Capture Scarf. "I didn't know you brought it with you."
"I didn't." he admits while gesturing to the scarf wrapped around his neck and face. "Yaoyorozu made it for me. Remind me to thank her when this is over."
"Will do! Now let's go!" Ochaco excitedly hurries off to help the others fend off the clay beasts.
Shoji, meanwhile, calls out to the frontlines. "I've spotted more of them closing in!"
With a boom Bakugou blasts himself towards the Ankylosaurus like monster just as Shoto freezes its entire right side in place. With it stuck he is able to deliver a round of Explosions that reduce it to nothing but ash and smoke.
Bakugou lands and takes off in full sprint, heading towards the next baddy but he becomes annoyed when he finds Shoto running alongside him and keeping pace. "You're in my way there, Icy Hot!"
"Then pick another route." Shoto deadpan responds without missing a beat.
"Well, you're both in my way!"
The two have to jump to the side and avoid being run over as a spinning giant ball of death races past them with Iida close on its heels.
As Iida caches up to the giant yellow sphere he calls out and gets ready to launch it forward. "Get ready, Midoriya!" Iida activates his Recipro Burst causing his leg to swing forward with devastating speed and power.
"Not Midoriya! It's Cannonbolttttt!" Cannonbolt screams as Iida delivers a high-powered kick to his rear, launching the spherical alien forward.
Cannonbolt crashes through the brush, pinballing off the trees and into the approaching hoard to clay monsters, crushing them under his weight and power.
"Hahaha!" Cannonbolt laughs as he smashes into the ground and uncurls himself. "We're on a roll guys! Let's race through this and we'll keep driving them back as we do! Hahahaha!"
Sero lands nearby and lets out a long-drawn-out sigh because he's already exhausted by Midoriya's quips and jokes. But mostly by Midoriya's constant need to surprise them. "Midoriya, just how many transformations did you get since we last saw you?"
Cannonbolt scratches his chin while he tries to count them off. "Um, Bullfrag…Rath…you already saw Wildvine, um, I think it's about seven."
Sero sighs and hangs his head in defeat. "Of course."
"Grrrrr!" More clay monsters appear from the front, their claws and fangs bared and ready to tear into flesh as they let out low beastly growls.
"RAAWWR!" One clay monster gets ahead of itself and charges the boys only for it to get obliterated by a pink blur that smashes down on it from above.
"Look alive, boys!" Ochaco yells before spinning around and getting ready to face the rest of the horde. "We still have a long way to go!"
It may have only been thirty minutes, but Pixie-Bob has not let up at all and is just having a ball with her attacks. "So, you're gangin' up on me now? Well, I can fight dirty, too! Pow! Pow! Scratch! Ha, ha!"
The young boy that came with them watches off to the side with a scowl.
He looks to be about five years old with short spiky black hair. His style of clothing consists of a short-sleeved collared shirt with buttons, dark shorts, and black boots. But the most iconic thing is that red hat he wears with two golden spike-shaped horns on the front.
With the students busy and well on their way, Mandalay calls him back over to the car. "Kota, we're leaving."
"Idiots." Kota spits as he watches the stupid teens make fools of themselves against the fake monsters. 'How pointless. To wanna be a hero.'
The sun is setting, and the sky has turned to a soft orange. The forest has gone completely dark, nearly pitch black due to the thick canopy.
But for Pixie-Bob, Mandalay and Aizawa it's not a bother at all. They have no signs of worry or waning patience as they wait before the Wild Wild Pussy Cat's lodge. They arrived hours ago and yet there still no sign of the students anywhere to be had.
That is until Pixie-Bob picks up the slightest movement in the trees. "Ha! The litter is almost here."
Mandalay smiles as she too can see them in the distance. "That took a lot longer than expected."
The first thing they pick up on are the students' own pained and exhausted pants.
The first to emerge, panting and exhausted with his unformed burned and torn is Shoto who still has bits of frost clinging to the right side of his face.
Next is Bakugou with a strained look on his face as he grips his aching wrists.
Iida limps along behind him, dragging his stalled-out leg behind him.
Ochaco looks like she's about to puke but her stomach went empty a long time ago so there's nothing to give now. And overall, she just looks absolutely beaten and exhausted.
And that's the general state of the class as a whole as they all eventually emerge from the woods with tattered uniforms, sweat and dirt cladded faces, and bruises and scratches all over. Each and every one of them look like they're all gonna fall over in the next gust of wind.
And when they finally reach the pro heroes some of them actually do, falling to their knees or leaning over each other as they totally run out of steam.
Sero bends over and has to prop himself on his knees to stay up. "You said it would only be, like, three hours!"
"I guess we timed it based on how long it'd take us. Sorry!" Mandalay snickers, not at all feeling guilty or apologetic.
Sato almost wants to cry because he's so tired. "Now you're braggin' about how much better you are? That's so mean."
From behind them the final member of Class A finally reaches the clearing. The steps are heavy and sluggish, yet it comes from a short statured being with a massively bloated glowing green belly.
"F-finally made it…Ugh." Upchuck gurgles and holds back a burp, exhausted and bruised he sluggishly drags his over bloated self towards the others. "Ugh… I think something I ate *BLEGH* isn't agreeing with me-Ugh!" He tries to hold it back but with a disgusting gag he tosses up a pile of wet mud, roots, and rock at his friends feet. "Ow-ugh. And another one…bites…the dust. Ugh!"
Before he can even enjoy his own joke, he falls right over, face first into the biled ridden mud.
Shinso slaps his face, his mind finally breaking along with his body. "8 hours. Eight. Hours. We had to endure Midoriya's quips for EIGHT HOURS!" He cries, unable to take it anymore.
There was so much from plant puns as Wildvine, Cannonbolt's forced puns, Diamondhead's rendition of We Will Rock You, and so much more, The only time they got a break was when he mercifully turned into Wildmutt. Although he was howling a lot, and Koda kept flinching and cringing at every bark.
Even Shoji's lost his patience for them. "If I hear one more, I'm gonna rip my ears off."
Tsuyu too looks like she's gonna keel over. "I'm so tired. I…I can't even…tell him that…Upchuck's…a really gross name."
"Ughhh." Upchuck whines with his face still stuck in the mud. He's too tired to defend himself and instead rolls over and groans. "I'm…starving."
"You're starving?!" Kirishima gasps. "I'm starving! This is hell!"
"Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!" Acting all cutesy, Pixie-Bob giggles into her paws. "I thought it would take you kids even longer. But you did much better against my dirt monsters than I thought you would. You guys were seriously great." She smirks as her leery eyes are drawn towards certain students. "Especially the four of you!"
She points her paw over at the exhausted Iida, Shoto, Bakugou, Upchuck, and Ochaco, who just so happens to be standing by the boys.
"It seems like you all have had quite a bit of experience!" She licks her fangs temptingly. "I call dibs on these kittens! I'll groom them myself!" She announces before jittering and hovering over them all, acting like a cat trying to bat and play with its prey.
The boys are her main target, and they shield and beg her to leave them alone while Ochaco just unceremoniously gets shoved aside like she's not even worth considering.
Even Aizawa finds this a little disturbing. "Mandalay. I can't remember, but has she always been like this?"
Mandalay sadly has to admit the truth. "It's gotten worse lately. She's at the age to take a mate."
Upchuck, stupidly, tries to chime in. "Uh, speaking of people's ages-"
Like before he finds Pixie-Bob's claws gripping his head along with her threatening air. "Choose your words carefully, toad."
He does. "I've just been wondering since we got here earlier." He points back towards the scowling Kota who's been standing off to the side as of now. "Who is that kid? What's he doing here?"
Mandalay is actually happy to answer him. "Oh, this little guy? He's my cousin's son. He lives with us now. Don't be shy, Kota. Say Hi to everyone. You're gonna be around them for the next week."
But it looks like the kid would rather ignore them during that entire time. His entire scowl just reads: stay away from me and get out of here.
Too bad Upchuck doesn't seem to get the memo as he tries to reach out to the boy who's about the same height as him. "Hey there. My names' Upchuck. Well in this form at least. But my real name is Midoriya. And I'm from the U.A. High School Hero Course. It's a pleasure to meet you!" He holds his like stub of a handout for Kota to take.
But the boy just continues to scowl as he backs up just a bit.
Upchuck frowns, not sure what he's doing. Maybe he came off as too strong. Perhaps he is shy?
But nope, it's none of those things as Kota suddenly rushes forward and lands a kick into Upchuck's swelled up gut, punting him like a soccer ball.
"Midoriya!" Iida cries, speeding in and catching the stunned creature. "Are you alright?!"
Upchuck groans, holding his rumbling and glowing stomach. "Ugh. I think I'm gonna hurl. Bleh."
He can't choke it back and he spills his guts in a form of a green plasma explosion!
"WAAAHHH!" Iida and everyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast cry out as they're blasted back and pelted by green ooze, mud, and smoke.
Those closest to the blast are lying on the ground. Not unconscious but they're too haunted to even pick themselves back up.
And finally, the Omnitrix times out allowing Izuku to reappear while lying on top of a dazed Iida who's hair is standing on end thanks to the blast, scorch marks stain his face and his glasses are nowhere to be seen. "Ughh. *BLEGH! * E-excuse me…"
"You fiend of a child!" Iida somehow shoots up, and starts scolding Kota, accidently tossing Izuku aside like he was weightless. "A surprise attack like that is unforgivable!"
Kota turns away but not before glaring back at Iida with an irritable fury. "The last thing I want is to hang with some wannabe heroes."
"Wannabe?! How old are you, kid?!"
Although everyone has a pretty rotten view of the kid there is one who can't but admire the little brat.
"That brat's got spunk." Bakugou smirks, enjoying the fact that Deku just got humiliated.
"He's like a mini version of you." Shoto comments.
But apparently that was the wrong thing to say as Bakugou immediately blows up in his face. "What are you talking about?! You need to shut your mouth before I blast you all the way to hell."
Shoto just stares back, not falling for the threat. "Yeah, sure."
"Enough playing around." Aizawa calls out, gathering their attention. "Get your stuff off the bus. Once your bags are in your rooms, we'll have dinner in the cafeteria. After that, you can bathe and sleep. Tomorrow your training starts in earnest. You'd better get a move on."
"Yes, sir…" The class just barely responds, using what little energy they have left to answer.
And finally, after all their struggling and getting themselves settled in it is finally time to enjoy their well-earned reward: an entire buffet of piping hot food fit for a king!
Izuku claps hands together before digging into the feast. "It looks so good!"
Of course, it does, it's like a sea of food stretched across their tables. The entire cafeteria is swirling with delicious odors, causing the students to drool as every dish is brought out. And each one of them is diving headfirst into the sea of flavors, each of them eating away like it's their last meal on Earth. And who can blame them? They deserve all of this from the fried Gyukatsu, Tempura and Karaage. To the snack sized Gyoza, Edamame and Buta-No-Shogayaki. Along with the incredible side dishes of Natto, diced vegetables, and white rice.
But like any group of friends there are conversations going on even as they eat.
Sero swallows his piece of shrimp before speaking. "So, you girls got stuck in a tiny little bunk room, didn't ya?"
Jiro nods and looks over. "Why? Is the guys' room really big?"
Mina overhears and leans over from the other table. "Oh, yeah? So, like can I come check it out later or what?"
"Sure. Whenever you want."
Meanwhile, it looks like Kirishima took some lessons from Upchuck judging on how fast he's swallowing up his bowl of rice. 'It's so good! I can't get enough!'
Even Denki looks like he's gonna cry. 'My stomach is so happy right now! My stomach is so happy right now! It's as good as Lunch Rush's food! I think I might eat until I burst!' A waft of savory meaty goodness enters his nose causing him to gasp. "I smell beef!"
Kirishima's head instantly snaps up towards Pixie-Bob who's passing by with a tray of Gyukatsu. "Hey, wait, you got meat over there?!"
Pixie-Bob gives him a humored look. "Yeah. Jeez, it's like you guys haven't eaten in a week or something. Anyway, today's the only time we'll be doing this for you. So, make sure you kids enjoy it."
"Thank you!" Denki and Kirishima gush before diving back into their plates.
While everyone enjoys their food and the heroines see to it that they're fed, Kota stands off to the side silently scowling at them all unnoticed.
That is until Mandalay calls him over. "Hey, Kota! Can you bring me those vegetables?" She is referring to the random box of vegetables just feet away from the boy.
He silently grumbles and picks up the box before carrying it over to the kitchen.
Izuku watches him leave with interest, his gaze locked on Kota's permanent scowl.
And after a warm meal, it's only right to follow it up with a hot shower and a warm relaxing soak in the bath. And this camp has the perfect thing for that: a hot spring. A giant stone-lined pool filled with hot steaming water, beautiful flowers and a Giant Bonsai tree surround the pool adding color and beauty to the walled off bath. With steam rising into the air that's so thick it's difficult to make out those around you.
And that's perfectly fine since no one really want to see anything. They just want to sit back, soak up the water, and let their aching muscles recover.
Unfortunately, there is one of them that can't find these accommodations good enough. He wants more. And, of course, he has to let everybody know it.
"The food and stuff is fine, but to be honest, I'm hungry for somethin' else." Mineta stares up at the tall wooden wall dividing the hot spring between the men…and the women. "Just one little wall. A few pieces of wood. And heaven's waiting on the other side. A bath full of boobs and babes ready to be seen by yours truly."
But nobody's listening too busy lost in their own restful bliss of the water.
That is except for Izuku who was unfortunately the closest one nearby to hear him. "Are you over there talking to yourself again, Mineta?"
Mineta disturbingly hugs the wall and caresses it as if it'll magically fall away to him. But with his ear to the wall, he can hear the splashing and hums of joy from the other side.
There's Mina's voice. "This feels amazing!"
And Jiro's. "I'm so glad they've got a hot spring here."
And the rest.
Mineta loses himself imagining himself over there. "Bathe, my angels. How stupid of them not to stagger the times that we'd be naked next to each other. I hope they never learn from their mistakes."
Most of the guys blush, falling for Mineta's depravity but unlike him none of them are gonna follow through with it.
Denki, however, can't help but find this all too funny. "It's too much for him."
Taking that as a warning, Iida shoots up from the water. "You're to stop this at once, Mineta!" He marches through the pool, his arms swinging at his sides and splashing water at everyone he passes. "What you're doing is demeaning! For both the girls and yourself!"
But the perv isn't listening, drool spilling from his mouth as he loses himself to his fantasy.
"It's shameful behavior!" Iida screams.
But his scolding falls on death ears and Mineta has an epiphany. 'Now I know why I have this Quirk. It's because walls are meant to be climbed!' Mineta rips off his Sticky balls and races up the wall with surprising speed, startling everyone. 'I'm coming for you, ladies, Plus Ultra!'
Not liking where this is going Shinso immediately calls out. "Mineta! Can you take some photos for me?"
It's a clear lie of statement, just something that would hopefully get someone like Mineta to answer and fall for Shinso's Brainwashing.
But it's no use as Mineta continues to scramble up the wall.
"Shit! He's too far gone!"
Panicking, Izuku grabs the Omnitrix and transforms, but it's too late.
Mineta's nearly at the top!
'All that Quirk training. All the times I almost died. It was to prepare for this shining momen-!'
But before he can reach it, he's cut off when he's met with Kota's scowling face glaring down at him from atop the wall.
Mineta's is frozen, in place with tears, drool, and snot running down his face which just adds to his overall shameless persona.
"Before you become a hero, you should learn how to be a good human." Kota slaps his hand away not at all caring that it was enough to shove the perv off the wall.
"I'll get you for this!" Mineta cries as he plummets back down to reality.
Unfortunately, reality looks a lot like Iida as Mineta crashes into him, shoving them both into the water with a giant splash.
"Hmph." Kota humphs taking some satisfaction he showed up as one of these so-called wannabe heroes.
And it appears he gets the honor of being the girls' hero too as Tsuyu calls over to him. "Mineta really is the worst, isn't he?"
"Thanks so much, Kota, babe!" Mina un-bashfully cheers.
Without meaning to, Kota turns around and accidentally gets a peek at the heaven Mineta wanted to claim for himself.
"We owe you one!'
"Ah!" Blushing Kota leaps back and stumbles, his body falling over the edge.
Everyone below gasps in horror as Kota begins to fall.
"Aaaaahhh!"
"Look out!" Bullfrag leaps up and catches him.
Mandalay sits down on her rolling chair and pulls it towards the couch.
There she gently lays a wet towel over the unconscious Kota's head. He'll be fine if anything he just needs to sleep it off here in the Building Manager Office of the camp.
"The rush from the fall likely caused him to faint. Thank you." Mandalay thanks.
"Hey, don't sweat." Bullfrag assures with a tilt of his shades. "I'm just sorry I couldn't stop it in time."
"Eraser warned me one of the boys was a little girl crazy, so I stationed Kota up there to keep watch. I suppose that's the danger of teaching kids your age."
Bullfrag's not so sure how to respond to that, figuring that kind of a stab at him too. "Well, anyway. I'm just glad to see that the little tyke's all right."
"You must've moved pretty fast to catch him."
He did but that's not what Bullfrag is hung up on. Instead, as he stares down at the boy he can't help but recall what Kota had said when they met: "'The last thing I want is to hang with some wannabe heroes.'"
That's such an…odd statement, especially from a kid his age.
"So, um. He doesn't like heroes much, does he?" Bullfrag asks, acting like he's walking on eggshells just from asking. "I gotta admit it, but that's kinda hard for me to wrap my head around. Most everyone I know wants to be one. It's…my dream."
But then again there are those who couldn't care less about heroes like Henzu Uuichi or Tomura Shigaraki. Those two have a passion for hating heroes, one that, admittedly, he doesn't fully understand.
"Then again I do know a few like him. Those that can't stand the idea of heroes. So, it's just wild to think that a tyke his age is so resentful towards heroes too. Hates them, even."
Mandalay leans back in her chair in defeat. "How observant. Of course, he isn't alone. There are many in our society who don't approve of us." Her expression turns solemn and pained as she turns to her nephew, gently parting his hair away from his head. Watching him lie gently, innocently, like a child should. "If he'd had a normal childhood, maybe he would've admired heroes like you did growing up."
Like him? "If you don't mind me asking, but…what happened?"
"It was Mandalay's cousins."
They turn their heads to find Pixie-Bob at the door. She's quiet, reserved, saddened about what happened. "Kota's parents, that is. They were heroes, too. But they were murdered."
Bullfrag's taken back. He figured something tragic must have occurred but for it to be bad. Poor kid…
"It was a villain." Mandalay explains sorrowfully. "Two years back, Kota was still so small. They were killed while protecting citizens. Perhaps the most respectable way for any hero to die. But…"
Her voice breaks as she stutters to a stop. Even for her to recall it's a little much, she can still hear his broken voice, the broken despair there was as he called for Mom and Dad. Calls that would never be answered. His entire world was turned upside down in that moment, and he was helpless to stop it. He could do nothing but watch as others thanked his parents for sacrificing their lives. And his.
"How do you even begin to explain to a child that his parents died honorable deaths? They were his entire world. Everything. But to him, his parents had left him behind. And all the while, they were being praised. Because…their sacrifice was such a noble one." It hurts, it really does. It's such a paradox of an honor really. "Honestly, he doesn't seem to like us that much either. We're heroes, like they were. I'm sure he feels like he's stuck here because he has nowhere else to go."
Bullfrog can understand. Parental figure(s) gone. Feeling like you're stuck. Your world turned upside down by one moment of bad luck.
"Heroes just don't make any sense to Kota. After all, if his parents hadn't been heroes, they would still be here."
Now it's starting to make sense. That's the reason Kota despises heroes. Because, in a way, he was abandoned by heroes.
For some reason Bullfrag recalls what Henzu Uuichi said to him all those months ago when their friendship broke apart: "'In this world…everything is give and take. No one really cares for others. Even those stupid heroes are in it for their own gain whether it's for fame, money, or attention! The only thing you can trust is that people will use each other to get what they want!'"
It makes him think.
'I'd heard so many different people talking about heroes over the last few months. I've listened to so many different viewpoints. It would be irresponsible to shrug them off.'
Bullfrag recounts the moment over and over in his head. Henzu's statement felt so odd and out of place back then. But now, he can understand it. After everything he's learned about heroes he can see where Henzu or Nue was coming from. Like in the case of Endeavor and other possibly other heroes like him. They are certainly in it for their own gain.
But then there are those like his father, Thirteen, Mr. Aizawa, Gang Orca, Mr. Aizawa, Kota's parents and even All Might who are anything but selfish. They're not in it for themselves but for others. But…the sad truth is often when they sacrifice themselves to their work to their responsibilities, they fail to realize that they're sacrificing their loved ones' lives too. Guess Kota and Izuku are similar in that way, in their parents' attempts to do the right thing and follow through with their morals both he and Kota had to pay the price.
Sensing the conversation is over and not wanting to bum the student out, Mandalay goes ahead and sends him on his way. "Thank you again for looking out for Kota. We'll look after him from here."
"Okay." Bullfrag bows his head. "And…thank you for humoring me."
"It's fine. It's not something easy to talk about but it's something you kids should be made aware of." She waves off his worries with a kind understanding smile. "But that's a conversation for another time. It's getting late and Eraserhead wants you kids up bright and early tomorrow."
"I bet he does." Bullfrag laughs.
"Oh, he does." Sly, playfully evil smirks stretch across Mandalay's and Pixie-Bob's faces sending a chill down Bullfrag's spine.
"Ah, you know what-I think I hear someone, uh, Iida-calling me. So, uh, bye!" He suddenly becomes very nervous and quickly peels out of there, leaving the snickering heroines behind.
'Uh, jeez, now I'm paranoid.' Bullfrag thinks, grateful that amphibians can't actually sweat. 'I never even thought about it, but Mr. Aizawa planned this camp. Which means-it won't be a camp at all!' He's so horrorstruck he nearly falls over! 'I bet he'll have us swimming upstream in rapids. Or rock climbing in the middle of a landslide!' Bullfrag lets out a horrified gasp when a terrifying idea pops into his mind. 'No! He's gonna chase us down and hunt us for sport like a Richard Connell story!'
Realizing he's falling into a rabbit hole, he shakes his head, trying to shake off the terror. 'Chill! Chill. The Wild Wild Pussy Cats are running this camp too and so is Mr. Vlad King. So, yeah, I bet they have something better planned. Or at least easier.' He's praying that's true, he's not sure he or any of his classmates can survive Mr. Aizawa's plots on their own.
"Are you a staff member? Or is that you Midoriya?"
Bullfrag jumps around in surprise, nearly screaming out thinking Mr. Aizawa found him. But instead, he's relieved to find that it was Kendo and the rest of the girls from Class 1-B.
"Oh, Kendo! Yeah, it's me." They're all in their pajamas, so he makes sure not to appear like he's staring and instead notes that they're each carrying a pillow with them. "Just decided to give this form a stretch. And for future reference if you see this symbol then it's me." He taps the Omnitrix to help clarify things.
"Man frog?" Pony Tsunotori questions her Japanese skills mixing up the order of the words.
"Um, I call him Bullfrag actually."
The girls stare silently judging the name.
"I didn't come up with the name."
"I like it." Reiko Yanagi admits. "But don't you think that's copying too much from your classmates? Monoma does that enough already and are you sure you wanna follow his lead?"
"I don't, but I can't help it. My Quirk kinda has a mind of its own. If you know what I mean."
"Yeah, I bet." Kinoko Komori shrugs, she doesn't really get it but plays along.
"Did your class just get here?" Bullfrag asks.
"Actually, we got here several hours before you all did." Kendo explains.
Bullfrag's surprised but then again maybe Vlad King decided to be nice unlike his own homeroom teacher. "Oh, so they dropped you off here."
"Nope!" Setsuna Tokage laughs, finding the experience humorous. "Get this Mr. Kan kicked us off the bus and we got attacked by a bunch of traps and the Wild Wild Pussy Cats!"
"Yes." Ibara Shiozaki solemnly claps her hands together and nods. "It was quite a breach in our faith in him. Such dishonesty."
"So, it wasn't just us." He should have figured as much. "So, where you girls heading off to now?"
Komori goes ahead and answers. "We're heading over to join the rest of the ladies for a heroine girls night."
"Wanna tag along?" Tokage asks with a teasing smirk and a playful wink.
Bullfrag's face turns as red as a tomato as Izuku's shy personality seeps out. "Ehehe…ehehe no-no thanks. I'll leave you ladies to it. I gotta get back myself, in fact." He scrambles back nearly tripping over his webbed feet as he does.
"Get back where?" Kendo asks.
"Well, you see before this I was in the…in the…the-" He freezes, face turning stock pale like a ghost's. 'Oh, no.'
*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*
The Omnitrix's beeps must be its way of laughing at him as with a flash of red Izuku is left totally "exposed."
"WAAAAAHHHHH/EEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!" The hall is filled with red screaming faces, each of them one of horror and embarrassment, except for Tokage who's smirking, seemingly impressed.
'I'm ruined for marriage.' Izuku cries, sulking in the corner with his futon over his head.
He ran out of there as soon as possible all the while the hallway echoed with screams. He managed to hide away in a closet when he heard Mr. Aizawa running towards the screams. And he stayed there until the Omnitrix recharged and he was able to use Grey Matter to slip away and get back to the dorm and change.
And that's where his friends found him, sulking in the corner for some strange reason. Where they left him be…at first.
"Hey, Midoriya, quit hiding in the corner, get your ass over here and join us!" Denki calls over, sitting in a massive circle with the rest of the guys from Class 1-A.
He peeks his head out from the futon and sniffs. "Um, but what about Mineta?"
He points to the opposite corner where a crying yet defeated Mineta is tied up in a ball of rope, tape, and his own futon. All of which meant to keep him weighed down and bound up.
"He's reflecting." Shinso instantly responds without an ounce of guilt or shame.
"R-right."
"Forget about that!" Kirishima calls over. "What do you guys wanna try first?"
He holds up a stack of board games he, Sero, and Denki snuck along like King of Tokyo, Evolution, a deck of cards, Taboo, and more.
They wave him over, all of them, and unable to sulk forever Izuku joins them with a not-so reluctant smile.
And so, they play, hang out, and joke each in their own groups to play something else from Jenga with a shouting Bakugou, to Evolution with Shoji and Koda, they even got everyone together to play a game of Mafia. Apparently Shoto and Shinso are very good at playing the role of the mafia.
"Man, I'm starving!" Denki laughs, falling over and holding his apparently empty stomach.
Ojiro gasps at Denki's statement. "You ate so much your stomach was bloated! How can you be starving?!"
"Hey, that was hours ago! My stomach's empty again!"
"Does anyone have snacks?!" Sato calls out, while hugging his backpack which is clearly hiding mores.
"I do!" Izuku pulls away from his game of Uno. "My parents packed some extras for me this morning."
"Yeah, Midoriya!" Sero cheers. "Look at you, coming in clutch! Hahaha!"
Izuku slides over to his yellow pack and pulls it out from the stack of suitcases and duffle bags. "It's not much, but it's something. I just need to find them."
He zips open his pack only to be greeted by a tiny pair of pincers holding up an array of snack bags. "Here ya go."
"Aw, thanks." Izuku happily takes the snacks and puts down the bag.
But as he steps away, he freezes, turning pale as he slowly turns right back around towards the open bag.
And peeling out from the inside he can see Kraab's glowing yellow eyes staring right back at him. "Sup?"
Izuku internally screams, throwing the snacks over at the others. "Here are your snacks!" He scoops up his bag and dashes away. "I really need the bathroom!"
The others watch him vanish, unsure of what to make of it.
Well, except for Denki that is. "I guess when you gotta go you gotta go."
Izuku locks himself in the restroom and sits down, placing a bag onto his lap. "K-Kraab?! What do you think you're doing?!"
Kraab gives him a shrug as he makes room for himself in Izuku's bag. "Well, I'll tell you what I'm not gonna do. And I am not holding your hand just so you can use the bathroom."
"What? NO! Ew, gross! I mean what are you doing in my backpack! I thought Principal Nezu said it was okay for you to stay in Plumber Base as long as you behaved?"
"Well, that was my plan too. Your old man gave me your family's Netflix password and I was gonna spend the next few weeks binging everything."
He's been hearing from Izuku and Chopper all summer about how good shows like Stranger Things, Avatar, Kipo and the Age of Wonder Beasts, Demon Slayer, and Umbrella Academy were. So, yeah, he'd want to give Netflix a shot.
"So, then why'd you bother to sneak away with me?"
"Your Pops, he's gotten all paranoid and wanted me to tag along. Said to keep a low profile and just be here in case things go wrong."
Izuku lets out a heavy sigh. "Dad…!" He whines, honestly, he should have figured that it was him.
"Hey, don't look at me. I told him you'd be fine but whatever I'm here so deal with it."
Izuku glares down at the cyborg, annoyed and frustrated. "If Mr. Aizawa or any of the heroes see you; I'm gonna be in big trouble! Jeez, we weren't even allowed to bring our phones on this trip!"
"Relax! Nobody's gonna know I'm here. In fact, I'll be so stealthy you won't even know I'm here."
"Ugh! Okay…just please promise me you'll behave yourself."
"Aye aye, Captain!" Kraab gives him a salute and settles further into the backpack. "You have my word that nothin's gonna go wrong!"
'Why do I doubt that?'
With nothing else he can do about it, Izuku gets up with a heavy sigh. Unlocking the door, he heads out, making sure he's not spotted before slipping out and making his way back to the dorm.
"Hey, I'm back." Izuku waves as he enters, tossing the bag to the side albeit gently.
"M-Midoriya…"
Izuku's head snaps up and she's shocked to find everyone in a miserable state! They're either stabbing their mouths with their toothbrushes, passed out, or hunched over and trying not to barf up buckets.
"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Izuku screams looking at all their green and sickly faces. "Shinso! Iida! Everyone! Are you okay?!"
Someone grabs his ankle, snapping his head down and he finds Todoroki sprawled on the ground in agony.
"Todoroki!" Izuku hovers over him, holding his head gently on his lap, and trying not to make him any sicker. "Who-who did this to you?!"
Shoto gags, holding back his dinner before answering with a pained choke. "It was…it was…"
"It was who…?" He leans in close, hovering his ear over Shoto's mouth.
"It was…it was…" Shoto leans up and whispers. "You…" Unable to hold on any longer he passes out in Izuku's arms.
Izuku's aghast, what could that mean?!
Iida tries to reach out, but his strength quickly leaves him. "Y-you're snacks-they…they were-" His face goes green, and he turns away, sick.
"Snacks? My snack?! What's wrong with them?! My parents packed them-!" It hits him. His parents packed them. His. Father. Packed. Them.
He scans the dorm and spots the opened snack bags lying on the floor. He scrambles for them, ripping them off the ground, and flipping them around and reads the labels: salted cicadas, pig toes, dried mealworms, and preserved duck eggs.
"DAAAAAAD!"
It's early, extremely early in the morning. The sun has barely risen over the horizon, casting large shadows across the camp, dew still clings to the leaves and grass like a mist, and the mosquitos are out in droves. But none of Class A has a choice, not when it's Mr. Aizawa who's in charge of the wakeup call.
The girls of Class A are the first ones out with each of them in a different state of drowsiness. From Ochaco who still has horrible bed head to Tsuyu who looks like she's gonna fall back to sleep if given the chance.
Jiro lets out a yawn just as she hears the boys coming out to join them. She turns around and is surprised to see their exhausted baggy faces. "Woah, what happened to all of you?"
Each of them looks hungover, with bags under their eyes, slouched postures, and fading consciousnesses.
Iida for his part does his best to look presentable but it's really no use. "We were poisoned."
"What?" Hagakure frowns. "But none of us got sick."
Wondering what they're talking about, Ochaco turns to Izuku for the scoop. "What are they talking about?"
The greenette jolts up and makes a point to avert his gaze. "I-I, um, put my trust in the wrong person."
"Huh?"
"Midoriya, you stud!" Mina playfully laughs, running up and throwing an arm around Izuku's neck pulling him in for a bro-like hug. "How you doing this fine morning, Playboy?"
"Ashido?!" Ochaco and a blushing Izuku exclaim in surprise.
Mina elbows his side. "I never knew you could be so bold. Look at you. I'm almost proud."
Ochaco blinks, confused. "Mina what are you talking about?"
Oh she is all too happy to share. "Funny you ask, last night Tokage told me that-"
"Look, it's Mr. Aizawa!" Izuku blurts out, cutting off Mina and incidentally snapping everyone's attention to said teacher.
"Good morning, class." Aizawa greets, figuring he might as well get them started now that he has their attention.
"Good morning, Mr. Aizawa."
"Today, we begin a training camp that will increase your strength. Our goal is to increase your skills exponentially, so that each of you earns a Provisional License. This will allow you to face the dangers that continue to fester in the darkness. Proceed carefully. Look alive, Bakugou."
Aizawa tosses up a ball which Bakugou snatches out of the air.
Bakugou frowns and examines the ball before realizing it's the same soft ball device used to measure their throwing distance from the start of the school year.
"Try throwing that for me."
Bakugou understands instantly where this is going. "Yeah, sure. Like in the Fitness Test."
"That's right. When you first started school, your record was 705.2 meters. Let's see if you've improved."
As Bakugou steps forward and takes a moment to stretch, Mina speaks up in excitement. "Oh, I get it! We're checking our progress."
Sero grins in anticipation. "A lot's happened to us since we started. Maybe he can throw it a whole mile now!"
Kirishima's getting excited, imagining just how manly that would be. "C'mon, get it, Bakugou!"
"I've got this. No one blink." With a cocky smirk, Bakugou winds up his pitch. "GO TO HELL!"
*BOOOOOM!*
A thunderous Explosion erupts to the sky, splitting their ears along with every creature in the forest while causing a gale of a whirlwind to rip through the air.
Everyone turns away, shielding themselves from the heat and ear-ringing wind. Except for Izuku who stares ahead, dumbfounded. 'Go to hell?'
Meanwhile, the ball soars through the air quickly vanishing from sight and landing somewhere far into the mountain forest.
Knowing he blew it out of the water, Bakugou waits for Mr. Aizawa to announce his mind-blowing results.
"That was 709.6 meters."
Bakugou's stunned, actually letting out a gasp. That number can't be right. He's been getting stronger all year. He put everything he had in that Explosion! So, how?!
He's not the only one 's stunned, every one of his classmates, even Shoto, Ochaco, and Izuku are shocked. After all, if Bakugou's Quirk barely improved…what does that say about theirs?
With reality hanging over their heads like anvils, Aizawa finally realizes the truth. "You've had a single semester at U.A., and due to your various experiences, all of you have definitely improved. But those improvements have mostly been limited to mental prowess and technical skill. With a slight increase in stamina thrown in along the way. Your Quirks really haven't grown that much stronger. Not on a fundamental level."
Izuku's breath hitches as he finally realizes the true purpose of this so-called "camp." So long is the theory that this would be a vacation from his vacation
"That's why we're now going to focus on improving your powers. This'll be so hard; you'll feel like you're dying." And Aizawa seems all too excited to make sure that promise stays true if his chilling Totoro grin is any indication. And it is. "Let's hope you all survive."
The class freezes, their hearts are beating so fast it's like a cascade of drums. That Totoro smile, that devious glint in his eyes: it's the stuff of nightmares. Just what does this madman have planned for them?!
Unbeknownst to them, Kraab perches himself back into the branches of a nearby tree. Beside him is a can of oil with a straw in it. He grips the can and stirs it as if it were a cocktail drink. "I like this guy. He knows how to have a good time." He sticks the straw between his mouth and sips while leaning back and getting himself ready to enjoy the show.
And that was the beginning of the Training Camp Arc. I know, I know! It wasn't much. It was straight from the anime. I am well aware; I mean I wrote it. But it's not without purpose, I'm just strategically putting all my game pieces in place for an epic adventure and thrilling ride. So, basically this chapter was nothing but setup. And that's kinda the same deal for the next chapter too.
To be honest I am trying to actively make chapters smaller (when it makes sense) so that I can post sooner and on a more consistent basis. So, the next chapter will be about the same length as this one but the chapter after that will be fully original, so longer. So yeah, there's things to look forward to. This is going to be fun.
*I changed my name! Relax, it's still me. I didn't give this story away or anything like that. It's still me, "CreateGunner1209," but I felt I needed a change. I got tired of that old name and wanted something a bit easier to remember and use for myself and you guys. So, henceforth I will be known as the Eternal Grandmaster "Guardian-Sigil."
*A lot of people were confused about what was inside the casket Kurogiri received from Vilgax. If you pay attention to the details about the casket itself and to how characters react to it, then you may just figure it out. If not, then I would revisit an earlier arc in the story. Either way we won't see that pay off for a long while anyway.
Responses for "Guest" reviewers from Ch.65:
Atom king: I agree lawyers can be scary especially if they're against you though I'm remembering of the Galvan lawyer Chadzmuth from omniverse will he appear in story I can imagine Hisashi in his early plumber day dealing with Chadzmuth.
Speaking of Hisashi he finally have an talk with All might, I like it with the two admitting that they fail Hisashi fail as father for not being there for izuku when he needed him the most and all might failing as teacher though all might mentioning all for one to Hisashi I hope we get see that talk in later chapters. Melissa going to be an full time plumber that's awesome I wonder when she comes back she'll bring along an certain Rookie plumber with her?
Finally the league of villains planning their attack towards the summer camp I wonder how different things will play out now that they know about the Omnitrix, plumbers and aliens will they alien tech on the UA students?
Guardian-Sigil: I definitely wanna bring in Chazmuth one day. One day.
And yeah, a lot of people wanted that scene between Hisashi and All Might. But they wanted Hisashi to tear All Might a new one and really grill into him. I never saw that appeal because that would have made Hisashi a hypocrite.
Not to worry. Melissa will be back, and I know exactly when and how I will be introducing a certain rookie plumber to the mix.
And despite how similar this chapter was to the anime, trust me when I say that it's all just setup. As we go there will be more and more twists and changes, promise. I have it all planned out and I know you're all gonna like it.
Guest: Not gonna lie I'm a little sad that Melissa is going to Plumber Academy I was looking forward to her being in n Deku's hare-Team. One more person to add for when Plumber Cadets show up. Which I hope there's tension there. Cadets looking down the on Izuku and his hare-team for not having proper training and causing havoc, thinking him having the Omnitrix is a mistake and such. Then again Melissa could be a potential mediator along with Lucy soooo we'll see
Guardian-Sigil: I understand the feeling. But it had to be done. And I like that dynamic: Plumber Cadets vs. Hero Students. Maybe I should lean into that? With Melissa mediating of course.
Guest: I had to use an anagram solver to find out what got SevenSeven so excited. After deciphering the anagram I can say that I'm anticipating that payoff. Although it may just be my lack of knowledge of the Predator Films but I have no idea what the creature is other than the possibility of it being a Predalien. It's technically part of the Predator Franchise but some might see it as an AvP reference rather than a Predator reference.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
Guardian-Sigil: Sooo the reference to the Predator Films was the line Shigaraki said to the casket "You are one ugly motherfucker" is a line Arnold says to the Predator in the movie when it reveals its face for the first time. Rather he said that line to whatever was inside the container.
Dreadbot: I liked how in the beginning it seemed like his cinder told everyone about aliens I always like those tropes and television I thought the conversation between cinder and all might was very good I can't wait to see what you do with Melissa and I can't wait for the training camp Arc please keep writing
Guardian-Sigil: I like those tropes too, and I'm a little bit of a troll sometimes so I thought it would be funny to tease it. (¬‿¬) We'll have to wait for Melissa's return, but it will be worth it. And although this first chapter of the Training Camp was lackluster, I promise the others will be far more original and creative.
Jakesurfboy: This chapter may be a short chapter but that's fine it wraps up the movie and gives us a possibility of Melissa returning since she is at Plumbers academy . Also I want to say my bad you are right that Koda,Ojiro and Aoyama weren't on the island during the battle so yeah it makes sense why you didn't put them in, my mistake was i remember all of 1A at the barbecue at the end of the movie so that's why I thought they would be fighting. Plus I guess I just thought "hey the other classmates who didn't fight in the movie are joining the fight I wonder why these 3 weren't put in the story" not realizing that yeah they weren't there so that's on me for not checking if I got the facts straight before posting so sorry about that
Guardian-Sigil: It's all good. But I remember those end credit scenes. I did consider giving them their own chapter.
Ray: All right! This was a good chapter! And, as a Brazilian I have to say that I completely know what Seven Seven and Six Six was saying.
(Yeah, I have this joke since I started reading.)
Guardian-Sigil: Sorry the joke wasn't meant to be a jab at Brazilians. I think you guys have a really cool culture and I really want to visit Brazil one day. The reason for the joke was inspired from the Lilo and Stitch franchise. Yeah, I know, weird place. But hear me out. In the series (TV show) they tell people that Gantu (the whale alien) is Samoan, and Gantu uses the same lie too. Which everyone buys even though he's not wearing a disguise.
I was trying to emulate that same running gag here. So, sorry if it offends. And I chose Brazilian because I thought "hey they're cool I'll use that." And here we are
Guest: I am unsure if I missed it or not but one idea that would have probably both hilarious and heart breaking for deku to find out after losing master control would be that he had access to every transformation he currently has as well as all of the species within the omnitrix that he hasn't unlocked yet. I mean, how would you feel if you had all of those transformations but didn't know he could use them. Just thought I would say since the concept seems interesting especially for deku
Guardian-Sigil: I don't think I understand. ┐(゚ ~゚ )┌
Your explanation is very confusing and unclear. Are you saying he loses all his aliens after losing Master Control? Or he has ALL the aliens after losing Master Control? Well either way I don't like either idea, sorry
BlueRanger-Lyric: Well that was a nice short chapter to answer what happened after the last chapter and with how big and long it was, although I do have to wonder, if All Might didn't tell Hisashi about All For One, then what will he tall him, and will he even tell him about One For All, because I honestly don't know what else he could tell him that involves the Master Mind behind The League of Villains, so what else could it be?
Hey, I just thought of another funny gag you could do, like say you follow the order of Monster Aliens Izuku gets from the Ben 10 Canon, like Izuku has Ghostfreak and got Blitzwolfer some time ago and just then got Snare-Oh, and members of Class 1A thought he was The Mummy Villain, only to find out it's Izuku, I would like if one of them went on a rant about the recent transformations he's gotten, going something like "First you got a ghost transformation, then you got that Werwolf transformation, and now you got a Mummy transformation?! What's next, a Frankenstein transformation?!" And then someone else goes like "Don't be ridiculous, there's no way Midoriya is ever gonna get transformations like those!" And then after he gets Frankenstrike, maybe that same guy could go "Called it!" Or the one who said they were being ridiculous could go "I take it back" and maybe someone could say "Hey maybe he'll get a Dracula transformation next" Joking teasing Whampire, so what do you think?
Guardian-Sigil: You have it backwards. All Might told Hisashi about All For One but NOT about One For All. and just tell him the basics: evil mastermind, transferring Quirk, Japan's dark ages, etc. Just leave out OFA and say that All Might with his "own" power beat him, but he survived and is leading the LoV. Soooo yeah there's still a lot to talk about. All Might just censored the One For All stuff.
I like it but it's gonna be a long while until we get all those aliens so no promises because I tend to forget these kinds of suggestions. I've been trying to organize them but that is a skill I am still working on
Guest: Pienso que sería interesante un capítulo donde aparezcan los Protoss del StarCraft, más aún el personaje de Zerathul, incluso hasta podría funcionar como mentor o algo así.
Qué opinas?
Guardian-Sigil: I am not at all familiar with StarCraft. (.﹒︣︿﹒︣.) So, I won't be that confident in adding a character from that series. That said, I am not against small cameos/easter eggs.
Shark: I really enjoyed this arc, but as good as it was I'm so excited to finally get the Forest training camp. I am too curious as to how things will occur moving forward considering how drastically different the event leading up to this arc have been. Also what are your thoughts on what happened to a certain character in the most recent chapter?
Guardian-Sigil: So am I, I've been dying to start the Training Camp too. Sorry if this first chapter was not to your expectations but it's all for setup. Things will have its twists and I have several original chapters for this arc too.
Also when it happened I didn't believe it. Not like "Oh I'm in shock" no it felt off from the start. That's not how an event like that for an MC should occur. After all the main MC was missing so yeah when they came up with a solution to redo the effects I wasn't that surprised. Also, Eri is a character soooooo yeah.
Also, Horikoshi loves western comics…and do you have any idea how many times the same characters have died and come back to life? Sooo yeah, no surprise
JuryLobster: Just recently caught up to this fic, and WOW. This is honestly one of the best fanfictions I've ever read... Like damn I'm enjoying this more then the actual mha manga lol although I do have some questions if you don't mind.
1. If Deku gets hurt while as one of his aliens, is he also hurt when he transforms back? Like when humungosour cut his leg and when he changed back it was still cut in AF?
2. Similar to how Deku got Bullfrag from being around Tsyu and her family, will Deku be getting Whampire from being near Toga?
3. This isn't really a question for you lol but I be reading the comments and I'm very confused as to why people are so desperate for the watch to recalibrate, I think the OG design is so Goated, I want it to stay aslong as possible lmao, same with people being desperate for Everyone to find out about all dekus secrets and aliens, etc, I reckon that's one of the best part of the stories right now, I mean yeah further down the road it'll be cool for them to find out, but damn people really be desperate for it lol.
4. And lastly... If you arreee lets say giving izuku a new alien during the training arc, may I have a clue/hint to who it is ? It can be the tiniest hint as well lol I'll take anything plus I always love a fun mystery trying to figure out which aliens coming next
Anyway keep up the great work man, honestly top tier stuff.
Guardian-Sigil: 1. Yes, it was established a while ago. And even during the movie arc it still held true
2. Perhaps
3. I agree I think the strength of this story is that I build up the entrances and appearances of concepts from aliens, characters, and plot. And I do admit it does get much sometimes when people want to know every little detail of future chapters
4. There will be a new alien but it's hard to give a hint to you since others are gonna see the hint too. Buuuuuuut on the other hand it would get you guys excited. Soooo, um, I guess I can say that it will be an Omniverse alien next
Oh I'm so bad. I'm such a gossip! (つ ͡ꈍ ͜ʖ̫ ͡ꈍ )
Guest: wiki/Non-Canon_Transformations/Aliens
Guardian-Sigil: Thanks
Guest: Will Vilgax get a power up later on, like when he became Dagon's herald?
Guardian-Sigil: I will not be using Dagon, sorry
MartialFrost: I found this thread when rereading this story in AO3 I'm interested if this is something you have planned.
"dammit izuku! first Bakugo, now this! Stay out of abusive relationships!
if this trend continues, I predict his first girlfriend is Himiko, and he doesn't break it off until the entire class 1A has an intervention."
Which you replied with "You never know, that is certainly an idea"
I can see this happening if you go with the whole thing people where mentioning where Izuku gets the Ultimatrix but it's like a Spiderman symbiote situation, Deku getting power hungry, angry at his friends, falling in with a bad crowd, "dating toga" etc just for his friends to have a intervention of sorts could make for a interesting Arc. Just a idea if you need it or something lol reading that thread made me think of the possibility and I thought it was kinda neat.
Guardian-Sigil: It is a thought. As of now I am being tentative with suggestions for the future as after Kamino Ward I will be taking a non-permanent hiatus to rework on my outline for the future of the story as a whole. So, suggestions like this will at least be considered
Guest: If he's turns into spider monkey can he webbed tsu mouth before she's calls it lame she's doesn't appreciate the name's
Guardian-Sigil: He can and if not, he will certainly web up someone else's mouth. It's still a funny gag
Guest: I know you're following the Ben 10 names but when izuku gets chamalien can you keep it to OVERKILL that's a cooler name than chamalien
Guardian-Sigil: I'll think about it mainly because it is a cooler name
BlueRanger-Lyric: I have an idea of a gag you could do with a famous line used a lot, like say Vilgax personally seeks to take the Omnitrix from Izuku and he's backed up by his Classmates, then Vilgax threatens them by saying something like "Surender the Omnitrix, or I shall send you all to your graves!" Then one of Izuku's Classmates like Kirishima or Kaminari foolishly tries to be brave and says "Oh yeah, You and what Army!?" Then Vilgax's Army of Robots show up and outnumbers Class 1A a hundred to one, this scares them, and another classmate glares at the one that said it, like Jiro or something and says "You had to ask, didn't you?!" So what do you think?
Another funny gag you could do with Rath, or more specifically, near the end of Rath's time limit, like say Rath was just Starting his "Let me tell you something" catchphrase but just as he started his mockery, he turns into Izuku and he says everything Rath was gonna say, and as soon as he finishes, he gets red with embarrassment and asked "Did I just say that out loud?"Funny right?
Guardian-Sigil: Real funny!
Guest: Wait does Vilgax have lazer eyes in this story like he did in AF and UA?
Guardian-Sigil: No, he doesn't have laser eyes
Guest: This is definitely one of the best fan-fictions on the website and I cant wait for the training camp. I am really exited to see what you have planed for it. Will we finally get to see some kind of interaction between Deku and Vilgax(that would be awesome).
Guardian-Sigil: Thank you and I hope the wait for the Training Camp was worth it. I know this first part didn't have much but I promise it'll get a lot better. Right now, I am just putting all my pieces in place.
Guest: When will more of class 1-A learn the truth? I mean a good chunk of them are already super suspicious. Not that there is an alien warlord after them but that Deku knows more than he is telling them, and it is just killing me that they are still in the dark. And I don't mean all of them, for the most part I think allot of them should find out about aliens when the whole world does. I mean Todoroki, Iida, and Bakugo who are core characters here. I mean shouldn't some for key players know the truth?
Guardian-Sigil: Eventually. Also, even though people are suspicious, why would their minds ever go to aliens? I mean whenever your friends act suspicious do you chalk it up to aliens? What I mean is that they would never figure it out unless something drastic happens by CHANCE.
And they will learn eventually just have some patience, that is all I ask. It will happen
Guest: Please introduce Armodrillo before the provisional license exam. I really want to see him in that.
Guardian-Sigil: I have already been considering Armodrillo to appear around that time ;)
Guest: I have an idea for you. After the team rescues Eri you should have them meet Ship and he become an emotional support animal for her.
Guardian-Sigil: I might do something else… I want Ship but he'll go to someone else if I introduce him
Guest: When I read deku 10 from pixel when izuku got the watch he calls it genetic mutation quirk no offense that sounds much better than one man army
Guardian-Sigil: Not gonna lie "Genetic Mutation Quirk" sounds generic as heck. No offense
Guest: Here is a YouTuber that made videos of common lines in shows and movies that you can use in your fanfic if you want to
/c/iiAFX
Guardian-Sigil: Hahaha! I love it! Thank you for sharing! Wish I took a look at it before I wrote this chapter. Oh, well, next time.
Guest: More Ultimates
/P2VhrY35-qo
Guardian-Sigil: Thanks, and I know, I'm subscribed to them too
Guest: I am know you said you decided against using ultimate echo echo. But please reconsider, I desperately want to see him make an appearance and if you are not using ultimate aliens, swamping him with echo echo is the only way.
Guardian-Sigil: I get it. But I don't think I can solely use Ultimate Echo Echo in place of the regular form. But I am considering giving Albedo Ultimate Aliens
