Teaser 1: Ino's Training,
Kingdom Come Academy, Japan, year 3000
She entered the fake city one of many inside Kingdom Come Academy, "Wonder what today's test will be?" the red haired tall girl asked herself,
"Today we've decided on a special test for you today," Aizawa said standing next to a barrel, he patted the top as she walked over,
"What's this sleepy head? a bomb test?" she joked,
"Yes," He stated, "All you have to do is-"
Ino drew one of her cleaver swords and quickly slashed the red wire,
Aizawa groaned and jumped over her as the bomb 'exploded' covering her in pink frosting, "Why did you do that?" he asked,
"The red wire was probably the most damaging, so I had to cut it," Ino explained, stopping to lick the frosting off herself, "Tasty test,"
"We can't and won't use actual explosives, we aren't psychopaths," Aizawa stated, as the red head continued cleaning herself, "that was the only one filled with frosting, the others are filled with eggs, you probably shouldn't eat those,"
"Why fill-"
"You instantly slashed the wire upon hearing the test, and I refuse to smell like rotten eggs," Aizawa glared at her,
"Well mission accomplished," she stated,
"No, you failed," Aizawa interjected, "Your mission was to not let the bomb explode,"
"How was I supposed to know it wasn't the red wire then?" Ino asked,
Aizawa pulled a manual out of his coat, "I was going to give you this, if you'd have waited three seconds," He snapped his fingers and several robots came out of nowhere, "your mission is to DEFUSE the bombs, defeat the robots, and SAVE the civilians," Aizawa said, "Got that?"
Ino waved him off, "Yeah yeah, hit the bombs, trash the bots, smash the civvies,"
Aizawa handed her the bomb manual, "You have fifteen minutes to study the book, twenty after before the bombs go off," he groaned,
Ino sat down and studied the manual, 'I cannot allow myself to smell like eggs after this, I'd better actually pay attention to the book,'
Aizawa watched her carefully, somewhat surprised that she'd actually read the book rather then run off and just slashing all the red wires, 'she's improved since we started'
Fifteen minutes passed and Ino showing her actual intellect for once, had finished the book a few times, and was already watching the countdown clock, her weapons, Kindness 1 and Kindness 2, both cleaver swords held firmly in her grip, 'You can't fail, if you do, mum will have to put up with her baby girl smelling like eggs for a while,' she thought gritting her teeth,
OCTOPUS-Play Absolute territory by Ken Ashcorp now-OCTOPUS
When the first timer ended Ino grew a few feet and shot off like a rocket, her blades gleaming dangerously in sunlight, Ino studied the robot patterns, they as always were had civilian robots placed close enough to the ones she was supposed to destroy, 'they're still limiting my swings?' she thought, she knew it wasn't supposed to be fun but she missed the early training sessions, where she could just cut lose and hack robots apart like a mad woman,
But being that her cleavers were just over six feet tall, about half her size, they were extremely heavy, as such, one slash from a single blade split most robots apart, now with her being twenty feet tall the blades were now ten feet in height, Ino had to hold back her strength, 'If I slash to hard I might set off a bomb' she thought as she ran,
As she drew close to the first group, 'four robots, and one civilian in the middle' she noted tensing her arm 'I'm in control' she reassured herself as she brought her blade down on the first bot cleaving it diagonally in half, using her momentum to spin herself repeating the motion on a second bot but to her annoyance it wasn't cleaved in a half, but in a quarter instead, 'Damn it! I'm better then that!' she growled internally, then she jumped with a spin, her clawed foot hitting and crushing the next robot, then she dashed forward crossing her blades over her body in an X shape, and grinned as those colossal single edged blades came down on the lone robot slashing it into four equal quarters,
Ino knew the next part was reassurance, she turned to the male looking robot, and let out a laugh, "Man those guys were so weak I'll bet you could've taken care of them,"
The chest screen on the robot showed her score, 7/100, 'Reassurance too scary'
"Shi-, I mean," She shook her head, and took of running, "I don't have time for this," her feet sounded like thunder as she stormed down the road, she saw another group of bots in the distance, this time with a bomb, 'Easy'
"I heard that," Qrow said from the control room, "And it can always get harder," he said pressing a button,
Ino saw a bus on a hill, "Hey I thought I wasn't running a gauntlet today!"
"A hero nor hunter's work is ever so simple," Qrow stated, "Shouldn't the apex of all races find this as a fun challenge?"
Ino gritted her teeth, fire spilling out through them, 'I hate that guy, he always knows what I'm thinking' she complained changing her course as she knew this part very well at this point in her training, 'The bus is aimed at a building, stop the bus saving the passengers and the sweet grandma inside the house,'
Ino pressed her back to the front of the bus forcing it to skid slowly down the hill, and when it stopped she put her blades away and opened the doors, and shank as she stepped onto the bus, "Hey everyone free tickets to the gun show," she grinned flexing her arms,
The screen on the robots chest gave her a number again, 36 /100 'Try levity instead'
'Seriously?' she groaned, 'I've been practicing all week for this,' she shook her head and ran off the bus, drawing her swords as she approached the group of robots, Each of them lifted up their arms and fired at the red haired hybrid, Ino crossed her blades over her body as she grew and ran closer, as carefully as she could she stepped on the first bot, and then dived forward, studying the bomb as she flew through the air, 'The numbers are... and the face plate says... it uses D batteries, so it has to be this one!' she slashed the green wire and the countdown stopped,
"Yes!" she cried landing on a robot,
Aizawa pressed his mic, "Let's see if she can handle the full test then,"
Qrow nodded, "Be down in a sec," he said, pressing a button and turning into a bird and flying through the window,
Ino's celebration was cut short by robots filling the streets, "Ooh, now I can cut loos-," Before being wacked on the head by Aizawa, "Ow,"
"Full test has started girl," Qrow said turning back into his human form and scratching the metal band around his arm that cancelled his semblance, he drew Harbinger, "now you have to deal with two villains, their minions, the bombs, and the civilians,"
"Just cause we'll be going easy on you don't think this will be-,"
Ino let out a hot breath and stabbed her swords into the ground so the blades faced away from each other, she flicked a switch on the handles and let go of both handles before both blades magnetised to each other, as they connected a soft click was heard, the blades extended both outward and elongated until they doubled in size, now they were bigger then the girl who used them, the handles extended and Ino grinned, "You've met Kindness 1&2, so let me introduce Mercy," she stated,
"Mercy?" Qrow asked,
"Because my biggest mercy..." Ino took the handle with both hands before pulling it out of the ground, "Is death on contact," she said taking a stance with it, then she swung it, the sound of it cutting the air actually made the two teachers flinch,
'Nothing that heavy should be swung so fast,' Aizawa thought,
Ino held the blade with one hand and grinned as it waned, she chuckled as her arm slowly buckled under the pressure of the now two handed sword, and then she stabbed it into the ground again, "Here we come~" she warned, with a smile that absolutely revelled in what was about to happen, she charged forward dragging the sword behind her, "SO MOVE IF YOU DON'T WANNA DIE!"
Before Ino even reached them Qrow and Aizawa moved far away by turning into a bird and flying off and just wrapping his cloth around a lamppost and pulling himself away respectively, this however meant they had the best seats in the house for the carnage Ino was capable of, she took the sword with both hands and spun, what earlier looked oddly graceful now looked devastating and bestial, but she turned an uncountable amount of robots into shrapnel as Mercy sliced right through them and the force of the swing shot the robots back into other robots,
Ino knew her quirk was gone before Aizawa even bothered putting his goggles on,
She just stared, entranced by the beauty in the carnage Mercy's second swing caused, she watched utterly enraptured and enthralled by the robots shredding through robots, the sound of the swing, how much her arm hurt just from holding Mercy one handed, she took a deep breath and smiled even as the bombs went off due to robot shrapnel, she knew she'd failed the second she had to fight two teachers, might as well fail in the best way possible,
It annoyed her, but she was just enjoying the destruction,
OCTOPUS- Stop Absolute territory now, If it hasn't stopped already-OCTOPUS
Qrow and Aizawa landed nearby, and judging by the looks on their faces, she would have to clean up and start the lesson all over again,
"Are you proud of yourself?" Aizawa asked as she turned Mercy into Kindness, and lost her sword privileges... again,
"Why wouldn't I be?" she asked, "That swing was worth every training session ever,"
"You shou-,"
"I'm not stupid," She stated as she sifting through broken robot parts, "You and Qrow would've stalled me for too long, way too long for me to even have a chance of winning, so I did what I wanted to do,"
"That was the point," Qrow stated, "You can't win them all kid,"
"Yeah, but you two cheated so what was I supposed to do?" Ino snapped back dropping the robot bits into a nearby shipping container, one Kingdom Come Academy kept on hand entirely for this,
"We cheated? and that's your excuse for acting like-"
"I'm thirteen" Ino stated turning to Aizawa, "I'm not old enough to vote or drink, yet here I am being drilled on how to be the perfect hero before I've even had my first kiss," she stated, "Just cause I was created in a lab and rescued by your side?" she asked,
Aizawa and Qrow shared a look while Ino went back to picking up robot parts, "Don't think this isn't where I would've chosen to go anyway, but I think I'm entitled to days off here and there, and at least a little slack," she said, and then in the most genuine pathetic tone either had ever heard from the pride filled hybrid's lips, "I'm not just big, or half Grimm, I'm a teenage girl too," she said,
Qrow sighed, he had a niece around Ino's age, 'But Ruby chose what she wanted to be,' he reminded himself, 'Ino was backed into a corner by three of the smartest people on the planet,' he shook his head, "Fine, no bombs next time, and a few more robots you can hack apart," he said,
"But you still have to clean up, and we're taking the bomb test next week," Aizawa interjected, "But Ino," he said, "The reason we push you so hard is cause you would've won if we hadn't joined the test," he said, "Something no one else your age would've been able to say,"
"How many others have been trained to stop bombs or busses?" she asked,
"The same amount of those who've had access to our fake city's and the academy's weaponry before enrolling," Qrow stated idlily, partially because he stared into the room he'd been in moments before,
The three principals stared down at them, he could just make out their lips moving,
"Hang tight kiddo," he said, "I need a drink," and then he was a bird and flew into the open window and turned back to face the three, "You three have any problems with her taking this slow?"
They didn't even turn to him, "She's dealt with the pressure of being trained like a pro well enough until now," The doc said,
"She certainly is studier then most," Ozpin agreed, "But too much pressure could damage her, also Dr Kal'tsit did imply that we should go easier on her,"
"She's a walking tank," Nezu stated, "I think Yagi's already considering her for that," Nezu said mysteriously, "but she is a child, one who hasn't had much of a childhood," he concluded,
"Dr Midoriya has been snappier in our meetings," Ozpin agreed, "Likely still angry at us,"
The doctor shrugged, "Can't fret about every egg while tryna save the whole globe Ozzy, King didn't exactly give us the luxury of playing by the rules," then he rubbed his masked chin, "Well... not any rules that make sen-," he stopped and turned around, "JESUS CRIST MAN!" he cried taking a terrible karate stance finally noticing Qrow,
"Qrow!?" Ozpin gasped and grasped at his heart, "D-don't sneak up on people like that!" He ordered, "I almost had a heart attack,"
"It's common curtesy to at least announce yourself when you enter a room Mr Brawen," Principal Nezu stated, seeming the most calm in the room as he sipped his tea,
"I literally asked if you three were okay with her taking things slow when I got here," Qrow stated, then he looked around, "Where are your keepers?" he asked, seeing neither hide nor hair of Glynda or Kal'tsit,
"Kal'tsit said since Gylnda could keep us from doing anything stupid and went off to check on the kiddies," The doc said,
"Glynda is at a spa," Ozpin stated light reflecting off his glasses,
"And Aizawa is-," Nezu stopped with Qrow hitting a button on the wall,
"RED ALERT!" blared across the entire campus, "THIS IS NOT A DRILL, THE THREE HAVE HAD NO KEEPERS FOR MORE THEN FOUR SECONDS!"
Quickly the room filled with teachers,
"We weren't going to play Uno" the doc defended,
Ozpin smiled, "Come on now we're taking the 'Uno incident' a bit seriously aren't we?"
"You three nearly Nuked the ocean," Blood ogre stated,
"FUCK THE OCEAN!" The three shouted,
Student Bio-
Name: Ino Midoriya,
Race: Grimm Human hybrid,
Class: Tank
Grimm Abilities: As she was cloned from a seaborn Grimm Ino can in fact breathe underwater, she's also much faster in water then on land, possibly showing she's a little more Grimm than Human physically, as such she breathes Water just as well as Air, Oral Blast Generation(Her default state is Purple fire, but it has been noted to mimic whatever energy she gets hit with,), Negativity empowerment, limited regeneration,
Quirk: Colossal
Awakened Quirk:
Evolved Quirk: Density shifting, (Allows Ino to entirely change her own density on the fly)
Weapons,
Name 1: Kindness,
Melee form 1: Twin Cleaver swords,
Name 2: Mercy
Melee form 2: Two handed bastard sword,
Gun form: N/A
Support Item: N/A
Theme song: Absolute territory: Ken Ashcorp, /zXk7T1r_jE4
Interests: She loves swimming, feeling truly at peace under the waves, she also enjoys fighting and training, and of course girls, girls, girls, though oddly she's not actually very perverted, she simply finds them beautiful and admires them, though she definitely wants at least three girlfriends when she leaves the academy, yes three, as in at the same time, she's apparently poly as well as gay,
Psych profile: Ino is in a word, Arrogant, but it goes beyond that, her arrogance is (in her opinion) just A fact of reality, it goes beyond being cocky, she often gives herself handicaps against foes she finds as beneath her,(Such as the time she fought a hundred robots with her hands behind her back and with a single blade in her mouth) her arrogance is on a level reserved for gods, often she'll be found claiming to be the Apex of all races, the one to stop King alone, or just giving herself stupid titles, she really needs to lose the arrogance -Kal'tsit.
Weaknesses: Too much cold could stop her heart, and Ino stores most of her heat in her stomach for an attack, overusing her fire breath could be dangerous, she's bigger than most people making her an easy target, and while intelligent she often just rushes opponents upon sight, and when damaged then flees to start a more hit and run style of combat,
Notes,
Nezu's: Ino is amazing just on a genetic level, the first fully operational organic Anti Kaiju weapon, but here lies the problem, she's the first fully operational organic Anti kaiju prototype weapon, and at the time of her rescue she had not been well tested leaving her limits and weaknesses unknown, Still she'll be an asset, but we'll have to find a way to keep her from charging off.
Ozpin's: For a Grimm hybrid she's very rational, I expected her to not even bother with a weapon since she has teeth and claws, yet she's still very much a Grimm Hybrid, she reveals in destruction and combat, I believe her reckless nature actually stems from her Grimm instincts and her arrogance, As for a way to stop it… she's clearly into women, maybe we put her on a team with girls who also like girls? It might manipulate her arrogance to shield them.
The Doc's: This girl is maddening, her biology? You take the claw of a Kaiju Grimm and The body of a Hero who fought tooth and nail to push them back, and combine them, her fighting style? Self taught, her weapons? She found them and just liked the swing better then the ones she was being trained with, I believe, (And this is merely a theory,) That King has something to do with this, those cleaver swords she found were way too clean to just have been lost in the fake city, also no tests were able to find any weapons in the city before, beyond that I LOVE HER! She's big, strong, confident, and deadly! I wish I had her back when leading Rhodes Island. She'd have been a massive help, as for other girls who could team up with her, I have an idea for one who needs a break, I was planning on enrolling her anyway.
King's: You caught me! I borrowed the original weapons from A young miss Syo, but she needed them back.
Kingdom Come Academy- The academy made by Nezu, Ozpin, and the Doctor, located somewhere in Japan,
The Three Thinkers- Nezu, Ozpin, and The Doctor's, unofficial group name, They wanted The Masterminds but no amount of their usual trickery, (blackmail, confusing wise words that are actually bollocks, and being forced to watch a man put noodle blocks in his mouth and pour boiling water onto the mouth noodles) could get them past copyright or lawyers,
Keepers- Shota Aizawa, Glynda Goodwitch, and Kal'tsit, The three thinkers personal side-kicks, at least one is constantly around the three to keep them far away from the public, and from doing stupid things.
The Uno incident- Once The Three Thinkers were by complete accident left alone for forty minutes, they decided to play Uno until one of their Keepers found them, it devolved into them trying to nuke the ocean. they're banned from buying Monopoly, Mario Party/Kart, Shoots and ladders, Yugioh, Pokémon, any fighting game ever, and pretty much anything else.
Hope you all enjoyed the teaser chapter,
Next time we visit... someone else!
Credits-
Arknights Lore/Academy Name/Theme Song chooser guy: WannabeNecro.
Subpar writing/Obsession with Giants/Guy who let a song about girls be his main character's theme song: Our hero.
We've changed the name for Izori to Ino because the reason the Original Izori was named that was because I didn't want any character's to be named the same thing so fans can differentiate between them all easier, (Wish I'd had the Idea before I started sixteen different Naruto stories where his Name is Naruto, but what can you do,)
Also because the Name Izori is a combination of Izumi(what I assume female Izuku's are usually named) and Doris(DC Comic's Giganta's real first name) Izumi+Doris=Izori, and since I've decided to not abandon the original story this Izori needed a new name,
I scoured a naming site for Japanese girls names that started with I, got a few, and we both thought Ino was a cool name,
TLDR, Izori 1 is back, Izori 2 needed new name, we chose Ino.
