As the day began our homeroom teacher walked in followed by what looked like a homeless man and Boomie from yesterday. He looked me in the eyes and snorted in disdain, clearly, he didn't want to be here.
"Everyone, this is Shota Aizawa also known as Eraser Head and he's the homeroom teacher of class 1-A. We heard about the incident yesterday at the cafeteria from Recovery Girl." Vlad introduced the teacher which caused the shaggy looking man to scoff at the introduction.
"Bakugou is here to apologize to you all for attacking you, he will also be put on probation to make sure that something like that won't happen again." Eraser Head pushed Boomie, or I guess Bakugou now, forward and waited with his arms crossed for the boy to start.
"I'm sorry that you extras were in my way." No one even bothered thinking that he was sincere with his apology, but honestly, we just wanted him out of our class. The teachers also weren't convinced but they both could tell that we didn't care anymore and just wanted some punishment.
"Because of the incident class 1-A will be postponed from going to the rescue training that was supposed to be happening today." This caused the class and Bakugou to turn to Vlad as he continued. "Instead, 1-B will be going to the training in their place."
"Also, because of yesterday's break in, it has been decided that the training will involve not only Vlad but two other teachers." Eraser Head continued from where Vlad left off. "All Might will be one of them."
The class erupted into cheers at the mention that All Might would be in their class again while Bakugou just scowled at us and the teachers.
With nothing more to say Eraser Head and Bakugou left our class, returning to their own to deliver the news that their class wouldn't be going to the rescue training. Without the explosion boy the rest of homeroom went off without a hitch, going straight into heroics and to the rescue training.
"Alright, last time you all swarmed the lockers, I don't want a repeat of that." I stood up first and got ready to do some class rep-ing, delegating the students to grab their costumes in row order. I ended up going last and made my way to the changing room with the rest of the guys.
"Sir Clay, are you perhaps going to have a seating plan for the bus to the training site?" Shishida voiced out his question and I shook my head, then I realized that he couldn't see that since we were all facing the walls as we changed.
"Nope, I reckon that we'll be using the buses from the entrance exam so it will be an open layout. Sit with whoever you want, just make sure that if you're sitting with a female classmate, they are fine with you sitting there." I made that rule very clear; I wasn't going to have any of my classmates uncomfortable if I can help it.
Everyone made affirmative noises and we finished getting changed. I led the way to the bus with the guys following me, the girls already being there.
"I thought girls were meant to take ages to change, this is the second time we beat all of you." Tokage teased the guys as it was true, though some of our costumes were a bit more complex than what the girls were wearing.
"Hey, have you seen Shoda's costume, it's like he's wearing a sumo body suit. No offence Shoda." I looked at the short boy who just shrugged his shoulders. He needed help with his suit, not being able to attach the back plate himself because of his short arms.
"Alright you maggots, get on the bus. Rep, guide everyone onto the bus." Vlad delegated the task to me as he got on the bus himself, sitting at the front where a single seat was waiting for him.
"Alright, I want everyone to partner up, if this is the bus I'm thinking it is then it will have seats that are in rows of two." Everyone did as was told, my partner being Kendo. "Alright, now add your seat numbers together and whoever has the highest gets to go in first."
There was a pause as people were calculating their score, Yanagi and Rin ended up being the first to go in followed by Honenuki and Tokage. The rest followed suit and eventually we were all in the bus, 8 taking up the center area of the bus while the other 12 sat in the rows of 2.
Vlad nodded his head when he saw that everything was going smoothly, happy with his choice of class rep. he acted as if he was sleeping during the ride, though he was listening to what his students were saying.
"Hey Clay, what sort of monsters are you going to use today?" Tetsutetsu was really excited to see some more of my monsters, everybody was.
"Would you believe me if I said that I have a group of monsters specialized in rescue?" I chuckled as they all started voicing their complaints and praises. Some were complaining that I was going to be able to do everything, which to be fair I probably was, while others were complimenting me on my versatility.
"Nobody is going to be able to beat you, you're practically unstoppable." Others nodded at Awase's comment, though Kamakiri just scoffed at them.
"Please, he's hardly unbeatable. You just need to catch him in the right circumstance." Everyone was surprised that Kamakiri said something intelligent, we all thought that he was just a battle junkie, only thinking about fights. "You all just thought something bad about me didn't you!"
We all chuckled at his reaction, glad to see that he was back to normal. He sat back down in a huff, returning to his brooding next to Kuroiro.
"Quiet down, we're here." Vlad silenced us and we stepped off the bus. In front of us was a huge dome with a short staircase leading to the front door. Vlad led us up those stairs and through the doors, revealing to us the inside with smaller domes and areas with different sceneries.
"Welcome everyone, I've been waiting for you!" Standing in front of us in a white space suit like an astronaut was a pro hero that many people recognized, Thirteen. "Follow me and I'll show you inside." We followed behind the pro hero reaching the edge of the stairs before Thirteen turned around. "A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a windstorm, etcetera. I created this training facility to prepare you to deal with different types of disasters. I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, but you can call it, USJ!"
Everyone sweated a bit as they heard what the hero decided to name the building. It was way too similar to Universal Studios Japan, it even seemed like the rides were there. Vlad walked up to the other teacher and leaned in to whisper something, the other hero holding up three fingers but speaking quiet enough that we couldn't hear what they were saying.
Vlad sighed and rubbed his forehead before turning around and walking back to the group. Thirteen turned to us and began talking about her quirk and the responsibilities having such a power gave her. Some people nodded, understanding the danger of her quirk and how easily it could be weaponized. The hero also explained that in the class today we wouldn't be using our quirk to attack or hurt people, but we would be using it to save lives.
With the speech done Thirteen took a bow and was about to lead us to the zones to begin our training, but the lights flickered a bit before returning to normal.
"Have we not paid the electric bills?" I tried to make a joke, but Vlad moved to the edge of the stairs to look for something. In the centre of the building, by a fountain, a black swirling dot was seen growing bigger until someone was able to walk out of it.
"Everyone stay together!" Vlad got into a ready position, blood flowing out of his body and forming a blade of blood. "Thirteen, get the class out of here." Vlad jumped down into the courtyard, not giving any chance to argue with him.
"Everyone, make your way to the exit." Thirteen directed us and we all didn't hesitate to move. I slowed myself down, so I ended up next to Thirteen, wanting to ask some questions.
"Thirteen, what's happening?" I figured that there was something wrong with that black hole and the person who walked out of it but not something that was enough for Vlad to send us all away.
"Villains have infiltrated the USJ, we need to leave and alert the school." I nodded my head and continued running, Vlad was a pro hero and teacher at UA, he could handle himself. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to make it out of the building as the same black hole that let the man into the building appeared before us, now with yellow eyes.
"Sorry to intrude, but I cannot allow you children to leave. I have to wonder why you are here instead of Eraser Head and class 1-A, though in the end it doesn't matter, my job is still the same." The mist villain spoke, and I immediately moved to the front of the group to get between him and my classmates.
"You aren't gonna do anything, now step aside or I'll show you why we're the best hero school in Japan." I tried to sound threatening, though this person was a hardened criminal, so I was like a puppy compared to him.
"How fun, unfortunately I cannot do that." The villain began to spread his body out to our sides, though it all was sucked into one direction. "Ah yes, Thirteen, a powerful quirk to turn anything into dust, a waste on someone like you."
"Students, get behind me!" The hero ordered the students and we all moved, her quirk activating and sucking the villains mist into her black hole.
"You are a rescue hero Thirteen, that means you have very little combat experience and battlefield awareness." Behind Thirteen another black hole opened up and began sucking the heroes back through and into Thirteen's own quirk.
"Students… He got me… Run…" As Thirteen fell she gave her last orders, unfortunately we were too stunned to move.
"A shame really, though I still have a job to do. Now scatter and die by the hands of my comrades!" The mist villain spread once again, creating a dome around my classmates that shrouded us in darkness. I pushed whoever was next to me out of the darkness, hopefully they would be able to escape and call for the heroes.
I felt the mist rush over me, and suddenly, I was falling. I activated my quirk and grew some wings, slowing my fall before two others fell next to me. I saw that they weren't slowing down so I rushed to catch them, grabbing the back of their costumes and lowering them to the rocky ground below.
"Is everyone okay?" I asked the two who were next to me, Rin and Kuroiro. They knelt on the ground, taking deep breaths to calm themselves down as I watched over them. If what I think just happened, happened, then we could be in trouble.
"Yeah, just… need a minute." Rin answered as he continued catching his breath. I looked around to see where we were, looked like the landslide zone, so that means we were still in the USJ, and probably so was everyone else. Another thing that stuck out to me were the other people who were in the area around us, villains that were coming towards us with gleeful smiles and twisted grins.
"Sorry, but I don't think they're going to give us the time for that." Rin looked up, saw the villains and quickly got to his feet. He activated his quirk, scales forming along his arms as he held his hands towards the villains, ready to activate his quirk to shoot scales at anyone that got too close.
Kuroiro also got up, holding his hands up in a combat stance, his quirk wouldn't really help in this situation as there wasn't any darkness in the area.
I activated my own quirk, my blade arm appearing as well as the hole that led to nothingness. My hand appeared and I looked at the cards I had been given, smiling in pleasure as they would certainly be able to help.
"I activate [Polymerization] fusing [Elemental Hero Blazeman] and [Elemental Hero Ocean] to summon [Elemental Hero Absolute Zero]!" Just like in the demonstration of our quirks, a vortex appeared above me and two cards shined in my hand. The two cards shot a beam of light into the sky and two monsters appeared, jumping into the vortex, and letting cold air escape.
"From the controlled blaze to the deepest depths of the ocean, nothing can escape your freezing blasts. Reveal and freeze them all! I Fusion Summon [Elemental Hero Absolute Zero]!" A warrior clad in white appeared, slamming into the ground and creating spikes of ice around it. The villains who were previously walking towards us confidently stopped in their tracks seeing my monster appear from nowhere. They also began to shiver from being in close proximity of my monster.
[Elemental Hero Absolute Zero, Lvl: 8 Atk: 2500 Def: 2000]
"Next, I'll play the spell card [Fusion recovery] allowing me to add [Elemental Hero Blazeman] and [Polymerization] from my graveyard to my hand!" Two lights appeared from my arm and two cards appeared in my hand once again. "Next I'll summon [Elemental Hero Blazeman]!" The temperature returned to a neutral that allowed the villains to stop shivering. "I activate Blazeman's effect to send 1 Hero monster to the graveyard to gain its attribute and Atk and Def points. I choose to send [Elemental Hero Shadow Mist] to the graveyard!"
[Elemental Hero Blazeman, Lvl: 4 Atk: 1200 1000 Def: 1800 1500]
Blazeman's armour shifted colour, changing from red to black as it became a dark attribute monster. "And since Elemental Hero Shadow Mist was sent to the graveyard, I can add 1 Hero monster from my deck to my hand! I add [Elemental Hero Liquid Soldier] and now I play [Polymerization] once again to fuse Blazeman and Liquid Soldier to fusion summon [Elemental Hero Escuridao]!" The same vortex appeared and sucked Blazeman as well as another card from my hand being Liquid Soldier into its grasp.
From inside the vortex came two black billowing capes, causing some of the villains to start shaking in fright. I didn't bother with them and continued the summon.
"From the black fire blaze to the fluidity of water, nothing will escape your vengeance! Reveal yourself and avenge all those who have been lost! I Fusion Summon [Elemental Hero Escuridao]!" From the vortex jumped a man clad in sharp, black armour, a bladed arm that looked like an axe as well as a clawed hand. The Hero had two red eyes that glowed, causing the villains to shiver once again, this time not from the cold, but from terror. Even Rin and Kuroiro were shaking a bit in fright.
[Elemental Hero Escuridao, Lvl: 8 Atk: 2500 Def: 2000]
"Since I used [Elemental Hero Liquid Soldier] in a fusion summon, I'm allowed to draw two cards and discard 1." I drew two cards to my hand and dropped one of them on the floor, causing it to burst into yellow particles. "I'll play the spell card [Miracle Fusion] to banish [Elemental Hero Blazeman] and the [Elemental Hero Voltic] I sent to the graveyard to fusion summon [Elemental Hero Nova Master]!"
A black hole appeared above me and the two monsters I was speaking about jumped into it, changing it into the vortex that was used to fusion summon my monsters. From this vortex, hot air pumped out, causing the villains to sweat while Absolute Zero moved towards me and my classmates to keep us cool.
"From the controlled blaze to the sparks of rebirth, nothing will escape your fiery pursuit! Reveal yourself and turn your foes to ashes! I Fusion Summon [Elemental Hero Nova Master]!" From the vortex came a red clad man that had spiked pauldrons and had black gloved hands. His helmet had the visage of a flame and his red cape flowed to be long enough to reach the ground, causing scorch marks to appear where it touched.
[Elemental Hero Nova Master, Lvl: 8 Atk: 2600 Def: 2100]
"Finally, I'll use the spell [Parallel World Fusion] to return my banished monsters to the deck and fusion summon using them. I fuse [Elemental Hero Blazeman] and [Elemental Hero Voltic] to fusion summon [Elemental Hero The Shining]!" From the ground came two beams of light, revealing the monsters that had been banished before they were sucked into another vortex above them.
From this vortex came a bright light, and everyone had to cover their eyes so they wouldn't go blind. "From the controlled blaze to the sparks of rebirth, everyone is protected by your healing light! Reveal yourself and guide us to victory! I Fusion Summon [Elemental Hero The Shining]!" From the vortex came a Hero clad in white with yellow highlights and red gems adorning his armour. On his back was a golden circle with 8 gold pillars floating around it like a halo.
[Elemental Hero The Shining, Lvl: 8 Atk: 2600 Def: 2100]
"Now then, you villains want to continue?" I smiled at all the villains who were in front of us, all cowering in fright from the monsters who were at my back. I myself had my wings unfurled, blue eyes glowing at the whimpering villains. "Shining, knock them out."
The monster nodded and charged at the villains who were now running in terror, though with The Shining chasing them, there would be no escape. In less than 10 seconds the Hero had knocked all the villains out, leaving me standing there with three more Heroes at my back and Rin and Kuroiro looking at me with wide eyes.
"Alright, split up and head to the different zones, make sure to look for my classmates and protect them." They four monsters nodded their heads before running off to follow my order. Absolute Zero moved to the shipwreck zone, Nova Master moved to the conflagration zone, The Shining moved to the ruins zone and Escuridao moved to the downpour zone. That left the mountain zone to be checked, but first I needed to make sure my two classmates were okay. "You two, you can come with me to the mountain zone and help me find the others or you can head back to the entrance where Thirteen is and try to help whoever's there to escape or look after Thirteen."
Both boys looked at one another before mulling it over in their heads. It took a moment, but I received my answers.
"I'll go back to the entrance; my scales should be enough to protect Thirteen from harm and keep any villains away." I nodded my head to him, and he headed off toward the entrance. I then turned my attention to Kuroiro.
"I'll go with him; my quirk isn't suitable for combat, but I can try to do some first aid and save the heroes life." With another nod Kuroiro merged with Rin's shadow, reducing the chance that the two would be seen by any enemies as they made their way to the entrance.
With no more distractions I made my way to the mountain zone, spending so much time that I earned six new cards from my deck that I thought would do better helping Vlad in the plaza.
"I summon [Armed Dragon Thunder LV3]." A small orange dragon with a grey stripe down its stomach with spikes along it and two gauntlets with lightning streaking from them appeared before me. The dragon looked around before turning to look at the plaza, roaring to the sky as it prepared itself for battle. "Now I activate my monster's effect to special summon [Armed Dragon Thunder LV5] from my deck!"
[Armed Dragon Thunder LV3, Lvl: 3 Atk: 1200 Def: 900]
I dropped one of my cards and the dragon roared once again, smashing its fists together as it grew in size and had its colours darken. The orange changed to red, and the grey turned to black. More spikes grew from the monster's stomach, chin, shoulders and gauntlets and the monster gained a hunchback on its stomach and some of the spikes a yellow lightning bolt appeared, electricity bouncing from spike to spike.
[Armed Dragon Thunder LV5, Lvl: 5 Atk: 2400 Def: 1700]
"I'll use my monsters effect again to special summon [Armed Dragon Thunder LV7] from my deck!" I dropped another card and the monster roared once again, growing in size and darkening as it evolved. The red became blood red, and the black became a metallic silver. The tail of the dragon grew in length, gaining a drill like spike at the end along with multiple lightning bolt symbols that exuded electricity. From the monsters back came two blade like wings, short and not able to grant the dragon flight but sharp enough to cut through a tree trunk.
[Armed Dragon Thunder LV7, Lvl: 7 Atk: 2800 DefL 1000]
"Finally, I'll play my monsters effect one more time to special summon [Armed Dragon Thunder LV10] from my deck!" The fourth card from my hand dropped and Armed Dragon roared one last time. The roar was loud enough that one of the villains in the plaza roared back in challenge, though it didn't make any moves to my monster.
Armed Dragon darkened for the last time, the red becoming nearly black while the metallic silver darkened. The wings on its back grew, an orange energy flowing between the spikes as a replacement for the patagium. The dragon's tail morphed and became a cage for orange energy, sparks sometimes flying loose from the ball at random. Armed Dragon held his claw high and more lightning flowed around the area, lighting it up like a second sun.
[Armed Dragon Thunder LV10, Lvl: 10 Atk: 3000 Def: 2000]
"Armed Dragon, go to the plaza and help Vlad, the one using his blood to make weapons. Don't kill anyone, I don't care about injuries as long as they don't die." My monster roared in response and flapped his wing, making his way to the plaza where the villain roared in challenge to my monster. I continued on to the mountain zone where some fighting could be heard ahead.
I rushed to the noise and found two of my classmates fighting for their lives against the villains. These villains didn't have the terror that the ones I faced were given so they were eager to fight and kill my classmates.
Awase and Fukidashi were dodging the villains' attacks, Awase with a staff he made with his quirk and Fukidashi using the words 'Boom!' and 'Crash!' to knock enemies away from him. They were doing alright, but they were huffing and panting, clearly, they had been fighting a while. Then I realized that I had miscounted how many of my classmates were present, Yanagi was in the area, but she was on the ground, bleeding from the head with Fukidashi and Awase guarding her.
When I saw what the villains had done to my classmate, I lost control and saw red. Instead of my usual Blue-Eyes transformation I took the form of one of my scarier monsters, [Evil Hero Malicious Fiend]. My wings changed from white scales to black shiny metal and brown leather. I lost my tail and scales along my body, instead replacing them with for sharp, black pauldrons, three sharp claws on each hand and a crown of six spikes on my head.
I didn't make a sound as I approached the first villain, only making my presence known when I sliced the villains Achilles tendon and the villain screamed in pain. I retracted my claws on one hand and punched the screaming villain unconscious, still retaining the basic rule of no killing. The other villains turned to see me, stopping their assault as they assessed a new threat to them.
I didn't bother letting them create a plan against me, I roared and charged at the villains, slashing left and right at any villains that were in my path, though making sure that no one was killed. A punch to the solar plexus, slice across the arm, kick to the face and slash across the eyes. I was a rampaging machine, not stopping until everyone was down, and I was the only person left standing.
To the side, Awase and Fukidashi were holding their hands over their mouths in horror and disgust, too horrified to look away but wanting nothing more. The villains that had been attacking them were being slaughtered, and even if they survived, they were sure to be crippled for life.
Finally, the last man fell, and I was in the middle of a field of bodies, covered in blood that wasn't my own and barely huffing. I heard something fall in the distance and moved my head in that direction, seeing the form of Awase with his hand over his mouth, Fukidashi mimicking his posture.
I calmed down enough to realize what had happened, deactivating my transformation, and returning to my regular appearance. I fell to the floor, hands clutching my head as I hyperventilated in panic.
"Yubel… Yubel I need you." I muttered out some words and like that my shadow morphed and grew, eventually taking shape and becoming a feminine monster with black and white clothing, orange and blue eyes, bat-like wings, mismatched hands, crazy white and purple hair and a large third eye in the middle of their forehead.
"Clay, calm down, you did nothing wrong." The being hugged me, from behind, rocking me back and forth to calm me down. As my breathing calmed, we continued rocking back and forth, eventually I grew tired and fell asleep in their arms.
