The following is a Fan-based Crossover. My Hero Academia and Garo are owned by Kōhei Horikoshi and Tohokushinsha Film Corporation (TFC) respectively. Please support the official release!
("Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. Yet by the blade of knights, mankind was given hope.")
The voice states as a large symbol of unknown design turned into two Horrors that resembled actual demons before coming together to form a feline's claw and then finally, turning into a knight with a gold hue.
Track playing: The Day from My Hero Academa by Porno Graffiti
In a pitch black void, a sun-like spotlight shone over an empty Garo with no eyes as Taiyō was kneeling down.
(5 A.M. and I hold my breath like the quiet is sinking into the air! Biting my nails on the emergency stairs! Which will tomorrow be? The day has come!)
As he stood up, Taiyō noticed the eye holes glowed from cyan to red, green, blue, purple, and finally orange as he stood up and reached his hand out to it when suddenly, the armor started attaching itself to him!
Just then, he saw images of the previous inheritors with their names for a second each, an ancient Japanese man in a red, white, and black gi with a katana strapped to his hip named 'Raikou', a spiky-haired brunette in white and black trench coat with gold brooch and six other pieces on his shoulders, sleeves, and the straps on the flaps, named 'León Luis', a more modern Japanese man wearing a white trenchcoat over a black skin suit, named 'Kouga Saejima', a younger French blonde wearing red and white checkered-patterned trenchcoat with a pure white inside, a mechanical right arm with black ring being hovered by a tiny floating cat, named 'Adrien Agreste', perhaps the biggest inheritor, a matured French blonde wearing plates of armor on his left shoulder, right hand, and knees over a white jacket with a motorcycle with two large tires, named 'Louis Agreste', and lastly, black-haired Japanese man wearing a black trenchcoat, underneath a leather forearm plate and two small brushes attached to two pelts on the sides of his trenchcoat, named 'Ryūga Dōgai'!
(The night that will never end! The rain that will never stop! They exist in this good-for-nothing world! Isn't it a little strange? I doze off and can't stay standing! It's not like I'm blaming you!)
In the interior of a white tower with a large hall leading out, Taiyō walked from the hallway into the tower, looking in awe at the hundreds of statues that covered the walls before he got over the supposed shock and adopted a composed look. Just then, the whole room flashed brightly as Taiyō covered his eyes with his arms before it calmed down. Moments later, Taiyō became Garo as he began to look at himself, stopping at his new sword.
(Playing alone in a daydream! Will you even be embarrassed of what you imagine there?)
In the woods, a much younger Izuku and Bakugo were looking at each other, with the former looking calm and relaxed, the latter looking arrogant and aggressive, but both looking happy. But years later, they were now standing back-to-back from each other, looking both hardened, the latter showing hatred as the former showed a stoic nature. Finally, Taiyō began to show the same hatred as Bakugo's while his anger got worse before they turned around and punched each other as Taiyō's mechanical fist collided with Bakugo's organic one!
Meanwhile in another black void, hundreds of Horrors flew forth as a man with white hair in an all black suit and corset, wielding a jian sword as he charged forward with a joyous smile before transforming into a Horror that resembled human muscle with devil wings, horns, and tail!
(Getting entangled in a maze! Will you say you will go even then? The sound of the starting bell played by the small traveler!)
Seemingly in the same void, but on solid ground, All Might began exchanging blows with an equally buff monster with a toothy beak and an exposed brain as the swordsman Horror clashed blades with Wataru with his armor on while Kaina shot at the former's back with a metallic brush attached to the scope of a green and blue sniper rifle!
(Don't know, don't know where you're going! Aren't you actually scared? Each step you take is changing! The day has come!)
On a sunny day in the real world, Garo was riding on a golden horse with a red mane as the entirety of Classes 1-A & B around its current user's age appeared beside him, excluding a green knight with a bear theme and two axes on its hips, riding a metallic, green triceratops with Kyoka riding behind!
Moments later, a solar eclipse began to occur as Garo and the swordsman Horror charged at each other with opposing armies representing one and the other!
(U.A. High School)
"Now, which of these four sentences contains a mistake?" Present Mic asks Class 1-A as four sentences were written in dry erase behind him
1.The man whom I respect most is my father.
2.That is the house in which he lived.
3.I well remember the day on which we both met.
4.Please tell me that all you know.
"Hey, everybody, look alive! Grammar rules!" "Stop trying to act enthusiastic when you aren't." Taiyō said to him, getting Mic to drop the act momentarily. "Hey, kid, nobody actually wants to be in here, not even me. But somebody's gotta put on a brave face." Present Mic stated before he noticed someone behind Taiyō raise a hand. "Yaoyorozu, lay it on." "The relative pronouns are wrong in the last one! It should say "Please tell me what you know" or "all that you know"." Yaoyorozu stated before he gave her a thumbs up. "That is correct!"
A few hours later, everyone was at the cafeteria as Taiyō sat with Kyoka, Itsuka, and a boy with spiked hair that was seemingly being held up by a zigzag-patterned headband. "Say, aren't you the guy who crawled back to his traitorous teacher?" "Don't know. Aren't you one of the freaks who renounced his Quirk just so he could cling to a fancy farming tool?" Taiyō asked in retort, surprising the boy for a second before he smiled. "I think we're gonna get along just fine. Name's Yoestsu Awase." Yoestsu said as he held out a hand for Taiyō to shake. "Apparently he was sent here as extra help in case something happened to make the operation tougher." Itsuka informed Taiyō and Kyoka as Ochaco walked up to them with a plate of curry and juice. "Hey, Dekiru. Is it alright if I sit with you and your friends?" She asked with a smile as the four now looked at her. "You're annoying. Go away." "Awase!" Itsuka shouted harshly before smacking Yoestsu upside his head, causing him to grab his head in pain! "Don't be disrespectful!" Kyoka chimed in, scolding him as well. "Are you sure you want to join in, Uraraka?" "Definitely. I can tell you're a nice guy." Ochaco stated before he and Kyoka moved over a seat to let her through.
(2 hours later)
"I am here! Coming through the door like a hero!" All Might shouted while leaning inside the entrance door, wearing a red suit with white circles and a blue cape that was slightly torn, as everyone but Taiyō and Kyoka looked on with any sort of excitement. 'That's his Silver Age suit. But why wear that?' 'Don't know. Don't care.' Taiyō mentally told Zaruba as All Might marched up to the front of the class. "Welcome to the most important class at U.A. high! Think of it as "Hero-ing 101"! Here, you will learn the basics of being a Pro, and what it means to fight in the name of good! So let's get into it, because today's lesson will pull no punches!" He told them before four tall rows slowly moved out of the walls. "But one of the keys of being a Hero is… looking good! These were designed for you based on your Quirk registration forms and the requests you sent in before school started." He stated as most of the students looked excited! "Get suited up, and meet me at Training Ground Beta!"
(Training Ground Beta)
A while later, All Might was standing a few meters from an entryway inside an artificial city. He then saw the students walking through the gate, all of whom were now wearing their Hero outfits. "They say that clothes make the Pro, young ladies and gentlemen, and behold, you are the proof! Take this to heart. From now on you are all… Heroes in training!" He declared before getting excited. "This is getting me all revved up! You look so cool! Now, shall we get started, you bunch of newbies?" He asked as ochaco, now in a black full-bodysuit with a thick pale pink line in the center, two bulky cuffs on her wrists, a chunky belt, a pair of bulky knee-high boots, and a helmet with a tinted visor, noticed Taiyō, whom was wearing an ancient red, white, and black gi that resembles Raikou's underneath a white and black Duster Coat with two red straps on the flaps that resembled Leon's, but with a hood like Adrien's, three gold armor plates on his forelimbs, and the metal arm from yesterday dangling from his hip. "Hey, Dekiru. I like the costume, it's a little flashy though." "This is a wearable tapestry of some of the greatest swordsmen in history. Besides, you're not one to talk." Taiyō stated as he pointed a clawed finger to Ochaco's outfit, causing her to look sheepish while rubbing the back of her head hole blushing a bit (I think?). "I should've been more specific about what I wanted. This bodysuit is skintight. Not really my style." She claimed as Mineta was now staring at her. "I love this school." He said as he then stared at the fourth wall.
"Now that you're ready, it's time for combat training." "Sir, if I may ask." Tenya asked as he now wore a suit that resembles a knight with a car motif before All Might nodded. "This is the fake city from our Entrance exam. Does that mean we'll be conducting urban battles again?" "Not quite. I'm going to move you two steps ahead. Most of the Villain fights you see on the news take place outside. However, statistically speaking, runs-ins with the most dastardly evildoers take place indoors." All Might informs them before continuing with a deep breath. "Think about it. Backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs. Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows. For this training exercise, you'll be split into two teams of classic good guys and bad guys and fight in two-on-two indoor battles." He explained. "Isn't this a little advanced?" The girl in a suit that largely resembles a frog asked him. "The best training is what you get on the battlefield! But remember, you can't just punch robots this time. You're dealing with actual people now." All Might started to say before he was interrupted with a bunch of questions from the students, frustrating him. "Listen up! The situation is this. The Villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try to foil their plans. To do that, the Heroes either have to catch the evildoers or recover the weapon. Likewise, the bad guys succeed if they protect their payload or capture the good guys." All Might states before pulling out a yellow box marked 'lots'. "Time's limited, so we'll choose teams by drawing lots!" "Isn't there a better way?" Tenya asked just before Taiyō slammed a foot onto the ground. "Fuck! I forgot about this part of 'Hero' work! Most team ups are on the spot in real life, and they all had mixed results." Taiyō stated as everyone looked at him. "However, if you get paired with the 'wrong' person, you may just have to knock them out to make the mission go smoothly." He added while glaring at Bakugo, who was wearing a tight, black tank top with an orange "X" across the middle, a baggy pants with knee guards, black combat boots, and a pair of grenade-shaped gauntlets and was now snarling back at him with pure hatred. "That's why if any of you do incapacitate your partner, I will stop the current match immediately and give that team a failing grade." All Might told them, getting everyone's attention back. "Now let's draw!"
Team A: Taiyō Midoriya & Ochaco Uraraka
Team B: Shoto Todoroki & Mezo Shoji
Team C: Momo Yaoyorozu & Minoru Mineta
Team D: Katsuki Bakugo & Tenya Iida
Team E: Yuga Aoyama & Mina Ashido
Team F: Rikido Sato & Koji Koda
Team G: Denki Kaminari & Kyoka Jiro
Team H: Fumikage Tokoyami & Tsuyu Asui
Team I: Mashirao Ojiro & Toru Hagakure
Team J: Eijiro Kirishima & Hanta Sero
"Wow, what are the chances?! We're a team!" Ochako stated happily as Taiyō looked indifferent before he looked to All Might. "Excuse me. Is there any way we can get a one-time do over?" "I'd like to agree to one too. Mainly because I work best with people I know." Kyoka, who was wearing her Makai uniform, said as she pointed to Kaminari, whoms costume resembled normal attire with white lightning patterns on his black jacket. "No can do, the teammate you've picked is the one you'll stick with until the end of class. And now, I declare the first teams to fight will be…" He paused as he rummaged through two boxes, one black with the word 'Villain' on it and a white one with 'Hero' before he pulled out two balls in one hand each, a black one with the letter 'D' and a white one with the letter 'A'. "These guys! Team A will be the Heroes, Team D will be the Villains!" He declared, surprising Taiyō and Bakugo before the former began to snicker while the latter resumed glaring at him. "Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch!" "Yes sir!" Everyone but teams A & D said before they left the area. "Bad guys, you can go ahead and get set up. In five minutes, the good guys will be let loose and the battle will start!" "Yes, sir!" Taiyō, Ochaco, and Iida said, agreeing to the terms. "Young Iida, Young Bakugo." All Might called out to team D before they went inside a building, stopping them as they looked at him. "The key to being successful in this challenge is to embody villainy. Think from the perspective of an evildoer. If things go too far, I'll step in." "Understood." Tenya said while Bakugo looked at Taiyō, who had formed a mace with his left arm, making him bare his teeth a bit.
Afterwards, Tenya and Bakugo were on the top floor with a fake rocket in the middle, surrounded by various junk, as the former walked up to it. "Even though this is training, it pains me to be aligned with criminal behavior." He claimed as he stopped just in front of the rocket. "So this is the weapon we must protect. Fake, of course." He stated as he gave it a couple taps, making a hollow sound that showed it was made of metal. "Hey!" Bakugo suddenly said while facing the stairway down, getting Tenya's attention. "Do you really think Deku doesn't have a Quirk?" "You saw his reaction and his arm. It sounded like he'd rather stay Quirkless than anything else." Tenya answered before Bakugo's shoulders twitches while he growled a bit. "Why is it that you seem to be especially angry when it comes to Midoriya, and why do you think he has a Quirk?" He asked in return, causing Bakugo to begin seething with rage. "Because almost five years ago, he went missing. And after he returned, suddenly he had a mechanical arm and a scar over his eyebrow!"
"Ya think they expect us to memorize this building's floor plan? It's so big, you know?" Ochaco asked before she then looked at Taiyō, who was waiting for her to be done, before he pulled out his magnum from the inside of his coat, along with two magazines with a red stripe on them. "All Might, hold on to these." He asked, getting All Might's attention before tossing him the mags a few seconds later. "You brought a firearm? I know you registered everything on you now, but I'm still surprised." "You always come prepared in a fight for all ranges." He stated as he inserted a new mag into the gun, one with a yellow stripe before turning to Ochaco. "You know how to use this?" "Wait, what?" She asked as he grabbed it by the chamber. "I need someone to cover me when we face Bakugo. I'll show you how to use it." Taiyō told Ochaco before he walked over to her. "I-I-I don't think that's a good idea! Really, I only know how to use my Quirk and I think that's good enough!" She said frantically as Taiyō tried to walk behind her while she kept moving to face him until he sprinted behind her, grabbing her hands in the process while placing them on the handle of the gun. "Now, if you're done freaking out, we don't have much time." Taiyō informed her as she began to calm down. "Okay, think of it as a camera. Just point and shoot." He explained as he slowly removed his hands from Ochaco's, letting her handle it better before she pulled the trigger, firing the only live round into the building's wall while she flinched at the loud shot! "Congratulations, you're officially a badass. Now, you fired a live round. However, the mag I inserted has special tranquilizers that will latch onto the target's skin, like a leech or lamprey, so only fire when I tell you to fire." Taiyō explained as he walked around her to face the door. His arm then changed into a hook as Ochaco walked up next to him. "So we know what to do with Bakugo, but what about Iida?" She asked Taiyō as he just shrugged. "We'll just find a way to limit his movement." "Works for me! Let's win this!" Ochaco shouted enthusiastically as she threw a fist into the air.
"All right! Let's begin the indoor combat training! Team A and team D, your time starts now!" All Might shouted into the intercom as he and the rest of the class was currently in a room with a large monitor showing various angles of the interior. "Pay attention, kids. Think about what you would do." He told them as he placed an earpiece onto his left ear.
Meanwhile, Taiyō and Ochaco climbed into the building through one of the windows before they casiusly moved on. "Remember, when I say it, I need you to aim and fire so don't close your eyes. Ok?" "Alright. I'm just a little nervous about using this. Are you sure about this?" She asked as Taiyō stopped and turned to her. "No. But that freak will go after me no matter what you do." He stated before he continued walking while his arm reforms into a circular shield. "Taiyō, I'm sensing a large amount of Jakku building up fast." "Where?" Zaruba and Taiyō whispered to each other, making sure Ochaco couldn't hear them. "Not far, after the next right. And the source is alone." Zaruba claimed as they approached the corner and Taiyō stopped. "Why'd you stop?" Ochaco asked as she saw Taiyō unsheathed his sword. "Because someone is waiting for us around the corner on the right." He warned her before he jumped the corner with his shield facing the hallway! But found it empty. However, it didn't take long for them to be ambushed as Bakugo leaped from the nearest corner as they walked and attacked Taiyō, hitting his shield with an explosion as he threw him off! "Dekiru, are you okay?" "My shield took the blast." Taiyō stated as the smoke cleared, giving them a full view of Bakugo. "What's the matter, Deku? Afraid to fight me with just your metal Quirk?" "Nothing short of beating you into submission with my technology would please me more, but we're on a time limit." Taiyō told Bakugo before the latter charged at him as Taiyō's shield-arm narrowed into a bladed kite shield with a barb at the end! "I won't hurt you so bad they'll have to stop the fight, just close!" Bakugo declared as Taiyō closed the gap instantly before stabbing into the former's gauntlets with his blades, causing a liquid to leak out! "Freakshow piece of shit!" Taiyō shouted as he pulled the sword out while rotating his metal arm to throw Bakugo onto the floor before slamming a boot on his collarbone! "SHOOT HIM NOW!" Taiyō yelled to Ochaco as Bakugo struggled to free himself! "On it!" She said as she took aim and shot a dart into Bakugo's shoulder, causing him to double down in his efforts and try to fire an explosion with his left arm, only for Taiyō quickly to slash across it and ignite the sweat prematurely while returning his metal arm to normal, harming Bakugo and cracking the walls as Taiyō jumped backwards while his shoes activated on their own! "You're done, Bakugo. You rushed in without a plan, and you paid the price." He stated as he sheathed his sword while the smoke began to clear again, showing Bakugo holding his injured arm as the smoldering remains of his gauntlet laid next to him. "Didn't I tell you before? When we were kids, I said that I would stop you from hurting others, and I will keep fighting you to protect the weak and innocent, this time with the name Dekiru behind me." Taiyō declared as Bakugo rose to his feet looking dazed, but still determined to fight. "You were hit with a tranquilizer. Why fight at all at this point?" He asked rhetorically as his arm formed a mace, enraging Bakugo as he remembered what Taiyō said years ago.
(Flashback, 10 years ago)
"If you keep on hurting others, then I'll stop you as an enemy, not a friend!" A four-year old Izuku declared as he stood in front of a cowering boy his age, protecting him from Bakugo.
(Present day)
"You were shaking in your boots back then, but you wanted to fight anyway. And now you've gone stone-cold and protective of weaklings." Bakugo stated as he began to look more alive, causing Ochaco to take aim again and Taiyō to take up a stance to utilize his mace-arm. "THAT'S WHY I HATE YOU!" He screamed at the top of his lungs in rage before he heard Tenya's voice coming from his earpiece! "Bakugo, come in! Give me a status report. Where are you?" "Just shut up and defend the weapon!"
"I've got more important things to worry about!" "Are you forgetting what our mission is?!" Tenya demanded, only to hear nothing on his end. "Hello? He hung up on me! This isn't the time for radio silence! We're supposed to be partners!" He shouted in frustration as he then growled angrily!
Back with the fight, Bakugo proceeded to launch himself at Taiyō! "Fire at will!" He shouted just before he wrapped his right arm around Bakugo's leg, blocking the kick before he then slammed his mace-arm onto his knee, causing him to scream in pain as his right kneecap was destroyed! Just then three more darts stuck to Bakugo's lower spine, momentarily distracting him before Taiyō then punched his ribs with the weapon while disengaging by ducking underneath! 'Hit with four darts, a broken leg, and now some broken ribs. That has to be enough to bring him down.' Taiyō mentally told himself before walking backwards to Ochaco, who still had the gun trained on Bakugo. "Y-you worth… worthless Quirkless Dek-ku. I'll make you regret thhhat." Bakugo weakly declared before he coughed some blood while leaning on the wall with his one good leg keeping him upright. "Not today, Freak. You're done." Taiyō stated plainly, causing Bakugo to snap and launch himself at Taiyō again! "I'LL KILL YOU!" He screamed as he thrusted his right arm at Taiyō, only to be slammed down by him with a meaty crack, turning his arm into a warhammer in the process! "Unruly Freaks like you need to learn. Pure talent will never help you." Taiyō said as he then noticed that one side of his pant legs was singed, showing that the skin underneath was also burnt. This seemed to upset him a bit before he calmed down almost immediately and returned his arm to normal, revealing Bakugo to be unconscious with blood dripping from his mouth. "Let's hurry up and find Ida, if Bakugo's here distracting us then he must be guarding the bomb." Taiyō claimed as he then walked past Bakugo. "Wait, shouldn't we use the capture tape? He'll get back up!" "You shot enough tranqs to knock him for the whole day. Even then, I broke his upper back. He'll be on his stomach for months. Without Recovery Girl's help." He stated as he continued with Ochaco following shortly after. However, he held his hand out for her to stop. "Wait. I want you to go left where we went right. Contact me if you find them." He calmly told Ochaco before she reluctantly did so as he then reactivated his shoes and skated off.
A few minutes later, Ochaco was able to find Ida with the bomb in a well lit room. 'Found it. Now I just have to tell Dekiru, and try my best to stay outta sight until he gets up here.' She states mentally and about to radio Taiyō when she notices Ida talking to himself. "Bakugo definitely has a villainous side by nature. And that's exactly what we need to succeed in this mission. I need to devote myself to criminal intent. Yes. I won't fail this trial and risk bringing shame down on the Ida family name. That means… I must embrace evil to become a Hero!" He declared before he turned away from the bomb with a psychopathic look in his eyes! "Behold! I am the personification of villainy!" Tenya declared with a dramatically sinister voice, which only got a stifled laugh from Ochaco. Unfortunately, this tips Tenya off to her. "Uraraka, is that you?" He asked as looked in her direction, getting her to back away to the door slowly. Unfortunately, he spotted her anyway. "I knew you would come here alone the instant. that Bakugo ran off by himself and engaged with Midoriya. Your Quirk allows you to float anything that you touch, but I've prepared for that. By hiding every object in this room so you have nothing to use against me, do-gooder! My dastardly tricks have rendered you helpless! You've blundered, hero!" Tenya said as Ochaco looked at him in shock.
Meanwhile, Taiyō was back at an unconscious Bakugo as he removed his right gauntlet, disarming him in case he woke up sooner than later. "Um, Dekiru?" "I'm back where Bakugo fell. Did you find him?" Tai asked as he walked to where Ochaco went. "Iida knows I'm here. Sorry. But I know where we are, near the middle of the fifth floor." She informed him as he then looked up. "That's right above me." Taiyō stated as he swapped arms and took aim at the ceiling. "Uraraka, get ready to move in 3, 2, 1!" He told her before punching upwards, firing the cannon-arm as the ammunition inside ripped a hole in the floor above while creating a smokescreen!
"What was that?! Bakugo, come in! Did you cause this explosion?!" Tenya demanded through his earpiece as Ochaco made a break for the weapon! 'If I can claim the weapon, that means we win!' She mentally told herself before using her Quirk to make herself float while jumping over the hole in-between them, catching Tenya's attention! "Since when can she make herself float?" He asked himself before he attempted to use his Quirk to reach the weapon, only to be stopped by Taiyō, who had grabbed his ankle with a hook-arm and yanked to the floor below! "Midoriya? That was you?!" "I brought the arm I used yesterday with me." Taiyō stated before they heard All Might on the comms. "The Hero team wins!"
After a few minutes, Team A and Tenya gathered with everyone in the viewing room. "Well, despite the results. The MVP of this exercise is Young Iida!" All Might declared, much to most of the student's surprise. "Shouldn't it be one of the heroes instead, since they're the winners?" "Don't be so certain." Taiyō said as everyone looked at him now. "What I did at the end was more situational than anything. If I wasn't underneath them, I wouldn't have used my cannon-arm. Furthermore, me throwing the hook afterwards was a lucky shot." "What does that mean?" Kaminari asked as Kyoka realized what he meant. "If he had missed, he would've hooked Uraraka like an actual fish." She states as Taiyō changed his hand into a hook. "Correct. Now, why didn't I choose Young Uraraka then? Who has a guess?" "Sir! I can tell you why." Yaoyorozu immediately said as they then looked at her. "Iida embraced the challenge. He was the only one who truly adapted to his assigned role. I'll explain. Bakugo's judgment was clouded by a personal grudge against Midoriya, leaving him completely vulnerable to Uraraka, who was given a weapon from her partner's arsenal. Midoriya however knew Bakugo would have tunnel vision, so he decided to equip his partner beforehand. However as he stated before, everything after that was situational, and by sheer luck. As for Uraraka herself, she let her guard down mid-battle and failed to report to Midoriya right away. Iida was fully prepared for his opponent's arrival. He had a strategy, and never lost sight of his mission to protect the dummy weapon, even if he was foiled in the end." Yaoyorozu explained as Tenya felt great joy from hearing her praise. "That reminds me, Bakugo's gauntlets were filled with his explosive sweat. I believe he would've used them if he had a chance." Taiyō added as he pulled out the mostly intact gauntlet while retrieving his gun at the same time. "Given the explosion I caused from igniting one, it's safe to say he would've destroyed the whole floor we were in at full capacity." "Yes… Well, you two overlooked a few things. Young Iida could have relaxed a little bit in the exercise, but... otherwise, you nailed it!" All Might stated nervously as Taiyō looked at him funny. "The guy could learn to relax, period. He's basically a robot." He stated. "Yeah. And don't worry about Young Bakugo's gauntlets, I'll see what I can do to at least limit them."
A few more minutes later, Teams I and B were in place. "Match two! Team B will be our Heroes and Team I will be the Villains!" All Might said. "Hey, Ojiro." The invisible girl, who was wearing only gloves and boots, said as she got Ojiro's, who was wearing a white gi, attention. "Let's get serious. I'm gonna take off all my clothes and totally disappear." "Yeah, cool." Ojiro plainly said as his partner removed the only clothes that gave away her position. 'Hagakure's using her Quirk to our advantage, but it's kinda weird to know there's a naked girl standing by me. What exactly am I supposed to do here?' He mentally asked himself as he started to look embarrassed. "Uh… just don't look, okay?" Hagakure asked sheepishly. "What's the difference?" He asked as the match began.
On the first floor, the multi-armed student walked into the building before spreading out his arms as four ears grew from four of them. "One's in the hall on the north side of the fourth floor. And I think the other's on the same level somewhere. Both are barefoot. I bet the invisible one plans to sneak up and surprise us." He informed his partner, wearing a plain suit with ice covering the left side of his body with a red eye, through two mouths formed on his left arms. "For your own safety, go outside. I'm sure our opponents intend to fight a defensive battle. But we've already won." The boy claimed as he walked past him and started to freeze the whole building from the inside out, immobilizing both members of Team I while his partner escaped in time to see the ice frost over the outside. Afterwards, it was easy. "The Hero team wins!" All Might declared as the boy took it as a sign to evaporate the ice in and on the building. "It's not your fault. We're just playing on different levels." He told Ojiro before leaving.
(Team J vs Team H)
While Team J set up tape-based traps around the weapon, Team H entered a shadowy part of the building, revealing the raven-headed student's spectral arms.
(Team C vs Team G)
As Yaoyorozu was setting up a barricade in front of the door, a fish-like reptile watched her and Mineta before stealthily disappearing and reappearing next to Kyoka and Kaminari. Then, without elaborating, she pointed upwards as he seemingly understood and began conducting electricity
(Team F vs Team E)
As half of Team F prepared for a fight, Team E headed through a hallway.
After the final match, everyone was now at the exit of the area. "That's a wrap! Super work. You really stepped up to the plate. And we didn't have any major injuries, except for Bakugo. You should be proud. Excellent work, all around!" All Might stated as he gave them a thumbs up. "It's nice to hear some encouraging words after our homeroom class. Mr. Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill." The frog girl stated as most of her classmates agreed. "I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater! That's all for now, folks!" He shouted enthusiastically before they all left.
After their afternoon classes, most of Taiyō's classmates began to introduce themselves to him. "Hey, I'm Ejiro Kirishima. Your arm's pretty badass when it can change shape." "Hi, I'm Hanta Sero." "More importantly, I'm Yugo A-" "I'm Mina Ashido! And I just wanna say, your moves and skates were awesome!" Mina stated hyperactivity as Taiyō took it all in, actually smiling unintentionally. "These are Air Shoes." He explained. "I'm Tsuyu Asui. But please call me "Tsu"." "Hey, Sato." "Nice to meet you all." Taiyō said before Mineta jumped out of nowhere. "And my name's Mineta!" Mineta shouted, surprising all of them.
"Tokoyami! STOP USING THAT DESK AS A CHAIR! Get off of it this instant!" Tenya yelled out to Tokoyami as Kyoka and Ojiro were standing next to the latter. "Dude, you need to chill." "You're carrying a lot of tension." Ojiro added, causing Tenya to tense up. "No one understands. I cannot condone actions that disrespects these desks! Not when great men and women, our upperclassmen, once used them!" "Also noisy." Tokoyami said as Kyoka suddenly grabbed Tenya's motioning hand to make him stop. "Okay, you need to stop that. Or I'm gonna snap your arm off!" She warned him before she let's go. "Iida never relaxes, doesn't he?" Taiyō asked rhetorically.
(2 hours later, Unknowing location)
In a decently lit lab full of giant containers with Horror-looking monsters inside them, a man in a blue business suit with a small triangular device on the side of his head was standing in middle of a white circular console, that looked out of place, as he motioned his left hand to reveal a holographic playlist of songs before he tapped on one labeled 'Tunes of Anarchy'.

With a half-spin, he went over to two coal-colored amulets being held by two robotic arms. He then grabbed them before placing them into two ports next to the arms, showing a digital chart to measure any output.
(I like the way you smile at me. I felt the heat that enveloped me.)
He then turned back around and punched in some codes into a console, causing a barrier to raise around the console.
(And what I saw I liked to see. I never knew… where evil grew.)
"Now beginning Viral Quirk disintegration test #: 21." He said as he then pressed a button, causing one of the containers to drain of fluids as the creature inside came to life.
(I should have steered away from you. My friend told me to keep clear of you. But something drew me near to you. I never knew where evil grew.)
Unfortunately it's existence didn't last long as the man then tapped a red button with a malicious smile, causing the room to fill with a silver vapor. "Goodbye, abomination." He said as he waved it goodbye.
(Evil grows in the dark! Where the sun it… never shines. Evils grows in cracks and holes… and lives in… people's minds.)
In a matter of seconds of coming into contact with the thickening cloud, the creature began to shriek in pain as its body began to decay and hold its exposed brain! Eventually, it was fully engulfed in the cloud as its voice died down.
(And now it seems to be… that every time I look at you… evil grows… in me.)
The man then looked at the console as it read that the 'Test is Completed. Signs of Quirks: 0%.' Seeing this, he began to maniacally laugh before turning back to the amulets, revealing that their powers were nearing the top and still rising!
"Complete Quirk disintegration! Though the subject happens to perish in the end, I expect that from a Nomu." He stated with an English accent as he took out one of the amulets while the ventilation system aired out the room, slowly revealing a footsoldier Horror that resembled an android with cybernetic enhancements and a raven's bird. "What the?" He said in confusion, getting him to turn off the music and reach for a sword and shield underneath the desk. He then tapped the shield, causing a glowing circle to appear and expand to his size, before he thrusted his sword forward, in turn causing pieces of armor to fly out and attach themselves to him.
Now in armor that resembles a purple hellhound, the man opened the blast shield and walked out, ready for the worse. However, instead of a fight, the Horror got onto one knee and bowed to him. "What is thy bidding, Master?" It asked the knight as he was confused. " 'Master'?" "Glare." Someone calmly called out with an English accent and a slightly distorted voice, causing him to turn around and see a Knight that resembles Glare's, but with cybernetic enhancements.
"How are the experiments going?" "I'd say it's a success, Veil. Although next time, we need to use a live freak. Otherwise we'll create another one of… this." Glare informed Veil as he presented the Horror, which was still kneeling, to him.

Veil hummed to himself as he approached the Horror. "Raise." He said as it did just that. "Doctor, unleash the Near High-end Nomu." "But, sir, that's reserved for the attack on-" Glare was interrupted by Veil generating a handful of fire in his left hand, making him proceed to release a buff monster with a toothy beak, skull-themed knee pads, a pair of beige pants, and seven markings that resembled scars. "Attack." Veil ordered, causing the Horror to turn to the Nomu and run at it, forcing it to defend itself! The Nomu tried to punch the Horror, only for it to leap over the fist and kick its head before following up with a tail strike, bringing the Nomu down instantly! "Halt!" Veil shouted, causing them to stop in their tracks as Veil and Glare approached them. "This Horror's combat abilities are more effective than the one for the USJ. Impressive." Veil claimed as Glare took notice of something growing on the Nomu's face. "It appears whatever changed the test subject is also contagious. I wonder…" he said as he disengaged his armor and walked to a door. "Lord Veil, I will be running some tests on this phenomenon with real lifeforms. See if it will turn them into… Viral Horrors, or they become pure once again." Glare informed Veil as he left.
