Running through the metal maze of a zone was quite an interesting experience. Floors were electrified, see-sawed platforms, this place was almost confusing entirely. However, Toshinori didn't let that dissuade him. In fact, it might be about time to make a shortcut. Normally he would be against property damage, but he had seen the assembly lines shoving animals into robots and already destroyed those…so what's a few more?
"All right! Time to cut through! Young Rose, please stand back!" Toshinori said to Amy, who was sitting on his shoulders. She nodded and jumped off a good few feet away at All Might's request. All Might stood ready at the wall he was about to blow through. He pulled his arm back and pull 50% of One for All right to the surface.
Pain.
Sadness.
Confusion.
Panic.
Power.
Insanity.

Toshinori's eyes flashed red as his mind spiraled into chaos under his own power. His pupils and irises disappeared, replaced by red rings that moved inwards in a wave formation. He crumpled to the ground screaming in pain as his mind was stretched apart from something, no multiple things trying to pull him deeper into the well of pure chaos. He felt the power uncontrollably well up to the surface trying to burst out of him. But for a brief moment, he could see the figure of a green rabbit walking away from him before looking back for a split second.
Then something clutched around his torso. Instantly, his consciousness returned to the forefront. With a last yell, he suppressed the power back into himself and pushed it down far. His eyes opened as he breathed haggardly. He looked back to see the pink hedgehog hugging him tightly out of concern. He looked back to the floor.
"What was that." That wasn't One for All. It couldn't have been, could it?
Toshinori pushed himself to his feet and put back on his usual smile.
"Sorry for worrying you Young Rose! It's time for us to continue on!" He said, picking her up once more and letting her sit on his shoulders.
"A-Are you okay?" Amy asked the golden rabbit. Toshinori took a moment to respond.
"I Should be. As long as I don't have to try that again."
Sonic, Izuku, and Mina all continued their path through the mechanical maze as they destroyed badniks in their path. They weaved through the traps set for them and decided to take a stop to make sure they would be ready to face whatever the doctor had ready for them ahead.
"So, why is this…Doctor Robotnik obsessed with shoving animals into robots again?" Mina asked the blue blur, as she leaned on a pole.
Sonic shrugged.
"I think he gets some kind of kick out of it. I wasn't listening when he was telling me his reasons the first time." Sonic said, rubbing his nose and lacking concern about the doctor's main reasons. Izuku looked at him with a bit of annoyance.
"That sounds like it would've been important. H-How long have you been facing this villain?" Izuku asked curiously as they began to move again.
"I dunno, maybe a year or so? I forgot." The blue blur said scratching the inside of his ear.
"How are you so casual about this?! H-How old even are you-" Izuku began to rant as they all sped up again. As they ran sparkles of energy began to drift behind them, starting to crackle. Being too absorbed in their conversation, they didn't even notice as a time portal opened in front of them as they ran in!
"All I'm saying is, there's no way someone that deranged is actually making a theme park- why does this place look under development now," Izuku spoke, suddenly cutting himself off. As the accompanying hedgehog and otter looked around, they noticed that the metal studio now looked…semi-developed through the missing walls, sights of the natural landscape could be seen flourishing.
"Wait…Oh, we must've passed a post." Sonic told by snapping his fingers with a flat expression. Izuku and Mina both looked stunned. They actually time-traveled just now! They were in the past of the planet!
"ohmygodwe'rereallyinthepastwhathappensifwe"
"So, if we leave this 'little planet' from the past here, would we be able to go to the Earth from the past?" Mina asked, touching a finger to her chin. Sonic paused and gave it some thought, before shaking his head.
"If we could I'm sure Robotnik would've by now." Sonic quickly explained and began moving again. The two other animal children quickly got to stepping. They quickly zoomed through the zone, splitting up so they could cover more ground looking for the signpost.
"GHACK" Until Izuku tripped and tried to shout in surprise. Izuku groaned as he got up and rubbed his nose. He should really watch out for rocks. Wait, he was in a laboratory. An unfinished one, yes, but still a laboratory with metal floors that were smooth. He looked back to see something with the colors of a peppermint lying on the floor. One of its two separately colored tails twitched, giving Izuku a message.
"Ow."
"TODOROKI?!"
"Hey Midoriya."
"W-Why are you lying there?"
"Well, I was being dogpiled by a bunch of little animals, but I guess they heard you coming and took off. I didn't know you ended up here too."
"Oh, well I kinda didn't," Izuku said scratching his head.
"It's kinda weird but there are these signs that you can run past that can make you time travel." Izuku tried to put it simply. Izuku was actually really glad he ended up in the past now. What would've happened to Todoroki if he hadn't ended up here! After a little bit of talking Izuku helped Todoroki up and they began to make their trek to the goalpost to find the others. The entire time Izuku explained things about the world to Todoroki, a lot of them, Todoroki already knew of surprisingly.
"Wow, you already know a lot of stuff about this place. I honestly didn't even expect you to know about rings being damage absorbers!" Izuku said in surprise, running alongside Todoroki who skated on a roughly built path of ice with large stalagmites poking out of the ground where his ice formed. Seemingly, his quirk had become much wilder as well and harder to control.
"Well th-there's a l-lot y-you can p-pick u-up in a d-d-day." The bi-colored feline, shivering.
"Wait a DAY- oh right time travel. Wait are you shivering?" Izuku asked, looking at Todoroki confused, he hadn't been using his quirk long enough for him to start feeling the cold. Moreso, even when cold Todoroki normally didn't even shiver.
"Todoroki, why aren't you heating yourself up?" Izuku asked as they slowed down. Todoroki calmly held up his left index finger. It then lit ablaze, being its normal yellowish orange for about half a second before quickly changing to a blinding blue and going out of control before the kitty abrupted cut off the flame.
Then he was just staring at Todoroki's burnt glove, which he seemed way too calm about.
"WHAT WASTHAT?!"
