Smelly shit (Title)
They arrived quite early at the camp. Their class and class 1-B arrived a bit later. The only one really being late was Mineta, the midget pervert. After they were introduced to the Wild Wild Pussy Cats, a team of Rescue heroes, they were tasked to cook their dinner. Hitoshi and Izuku worked together. So did Yaoyorozu and Jiro. They heard Bakugou telling Todoroki he sucks at cutting chives. To be fair, Todoroki really sucks at it.
While cooking, Izuku met the nephew of one of the Pussy Cats. To Izuku's surprise, the kid really hates heroes. Considering his aunt, quite the irony. He tried to the boy, Izumi Kota, but he won't let Izuku. Izuku left him alone and continued cooking.
"Hey, villain touch, your turn helping this hopeless case!", yelled Bakugou, "I'm done with Canada flag." Since attending UA, Bakugou and Izuku distanced themselves from each other, even in their rivalry. Which includes Izuku has a more 'normal extra' insult. He isn't sure if it is a downgrade or an upgrade.
"What happened to 'Ash Villain'?"
"That's reserved for the hand job, Shigaraki.", yelled Bakugou his reply."Now help the flag!"
Izuku walked to Todoroki, muttering another apology. Kota watched this surprised. "Villain?"
The next day, while training, Kota saw how a one eyed girl and the guy with the wraps were avoiding Izuku. The more he watched Izuku, the more he got confused. It wasn't until Izuku was training to 'retain' his quirk, controlling if his touch decays without the need for gloves, that Kota got a slight idea why he is called a villain, and what happened to the girl's eyes. From then, he won't leave Izuku's side.
Izuku was now the one confused and Hitoshi was annoyed. Kota's aunt just thought it was cute and hilarious.
Izuku and Hitoshi, with the help of Momo, were testing the Limits of Izuku's quirk. By Lunch, they had the following realization.
"Your quirk needs a new name. It is similar to Shigaraki's Decay, but it isn't the same.", said Momo, "His quirk is touch only, but you can 'throw' the Decaying Energy you create."
"But what to call it?", replied Izuku, accepting her statement. "Corruption?"
"Eh, bad name, not really fitting.", said Hitoshi. "Your quirk is more the essence of Decay. Decaying Essence?"
"For now, I will use that name.", agreed Izuku.
"Apropos name change, Aizawa told me that we get the option to change our hero name before our work experiences start.", said Hitoshi, "I will try to submit Mindfuck again."
"Seriously?", asked Momo. "Do you want to ruin your reputation before you even graduate?"
"I control people's minds. My reputation is already rock bottom. And Mindfuck is more to the point what I do.", said Hitoshi to her, "Also, your reputation will be close to Midnight's, so you have nothing to talk-Ah!" Momo slapped him and left.
"Looks like it is your turn to apologize to her.", joked Izuku.
The third day on the camp started with a bang. Momo created small metal objects at rapid speeds and threw them into the air. Izuku was shooting his decaying essence at them. Well, marbles which the essence leeched onto. Aiming for an extra massive pan, he threw the essence without a marble to hijack the kinetic energy for the movement. Having realized he decayed the pan without a helping marble, he started to celebrate, which caused the other pots and pans to clash onto the ground. Hence the day starting with a bang. Multiple even.
"Does that mean you no longer need my marbles?", asked Momo.
"Until I get a hang of this, I will need them.", said Izuku. "I want to test something. Momo, could you make a training dummy and a knife?"
"I need a break for the dummy.", said Momo.
"I make you a sandwich the while."
"Sounds good."
His class was tasked to move though the forest for a practice. Hitoshi assumed this is a repetition of the class 1-B scare. Momo, Izuku, Jiro and Hitoshi stayed together, when they ran into Tokage Setsuna.
"Not you again!", she yelled, turning around.
Jiro rolled her eyes, "What a bitch."
"To be fair, getting her eye decayed was probably pretty painful.", said Izuku, "And Sero is still nervous around me."
"Did you ever hurt someone in your old school?", asked Jiro.
"At most I decayed a few pencils.", admitted Izuku, "Or waited until school is over. Momo, could you make a few small tracking devices?"
"Of course, sticking ones or?"
"Sticking sounds good.", said Hitoshi.
"We should mainly use the devices on class B members with a high mobility.", proposed Jiro, "I can track the rest." She then slammed her headphone jacks into the ground. She looked up in shock. "Could it be that the teachers and Pussycats support class B this time?"
"Maybe?", guessed Hitoshi. He then took a sniff. "Do you smell this too?"
"I didn't decay anything!", said Izuku, as if he was accused. He then smelled it as well. "Wait, I smell it. Fire?"
"I doubt Todoroki used his full quirk for once.", said Hitoshi.
"I doubt Todoroki could make blue flames, Hitoshi.", said Izuku.
"What-" Hitoshi saw blue flames. "-Oh fuck. That isn't Todoroki's doing."
'Here's Mandalay speaking. Villains are attacking the forest.', they heard Mandalay speak in their head. 'Students, you are allowed to use your quirks in self defense. And cooperate, no class clashing. Try to come to the camp.'
"Well, that explains it.", said Izuku. "Fucking villains, that much about this being a secluded, hidden area."
'Kota! Someone has to find my nephew! Kota's gone!', surprised them Mandalay with a mental yell.
"Should we-" Jiro tried to ask when she saw Izuku rushing away. "I take that as a yes."
"Not surprising, considering that Izuku is seemingly the only one not hated by the kid.", said Momo. She started to smell something funny, then made masks. "I think we should stick tracking devices onto each other in case we get split."
Izuku was rushing though the forest, decaying trees he couldn't dodge. He ran up a hill, then climbed onto a tree. He was sure he saw Kota sitting up on a mountain. He made his way there. He wasn't sure if he should prioritize to reach Kota fast or not to be detected by villains. He got a feeling the villains are the same that attacked the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, the same behind the Hosu attack, the same lead by Shigaraki Tomura, his brother. He still struggles to believe that part, but maybe it is just wishful thinking that it isn't true.
Climbing the mountain, he utilized a trick he may have copied from Mina. Matching her initial idea for her hero name, 'Ridley Hero: Acid Queen' (He still doesn't get why Midnight shut that one down), he calls it the Ridley Grip. Similar to Mina making holes in walls to climb, he focuses Decaying Essence on his finger tips to make holes. This move is the main reason why he practiced to stop the decay.
He did tel Mina about the move she inspired, which resulted her in naming her variation the same, 'allowing' him to use the same name.
Climbing up, he found Kota. The kid was out of breath.
"Mandalay asked to search for you. We're under attack. Villains-" He felt something heavy land near them. Izuku than saw him. Or more like it. The thing was just pure muscle. He saw Kota starting to cry.
"Ah, the kid recognizes me.", said the villain.
Izuku was charging up Decaying Essence, he then asked, mainly as an attempt to distract the villain, "Who the fuck are you, Muscle man?"
"I am Muscular, the killer of the Waterhose heroes.", he replied, "Now scatter, Ash Maker, I have a job to finish."
"Ash Maker?", was Izuku asking.
"Yeah, the boss told us about you.", replied Muscular, moving closer. "Now scatter, the boss won't like it if I kill you."
"Too bad.", said Izuku, starting to rush to Muscular.
Muscular's muscle band's were extending, Izuku was grabbing them, decaying them./
"Fuck!", yelled Muscular.
"Kota! Run and hide!", said Izuku. Kota did as he was told.
"Damned! Well, at least I've got you.", said Muscular. His muscles were wrapping around Izuku, until he could only slowly decay them. With Izuku inn his grasp, Muscular left the mountain. "Your luck Shigaraki wants you alive. If not, I would end you for making me loose the kid."
Momo, Jiro and Hitoshi were rushing around the forest. Hitoshi securely kept a tracker in his clothes. They walked into some of their class mates and even some students of class 1-B. Momo made them masks ask well.
"Do you think Izuku found Kota?", wondered Momo.
"Maybe? I don't know h-Haa!" Hitoshi was falling into a purple void. Jiro and Momo recognized it as the villain Kurogiri.
"I am sorry for the disturbance, but we need to borrow your friend.", he said, before leaving. "I hope you understand."
"We do not!", yelled Jiro, before attacking him with her sound waves. But the waves hit nothing, as Kurogiri was already gone. "This can't be good."
