Chapter 10: Interlude 2: Sneakings and Suspicions

Lobby

As everyone was leaving the screening room, they were met with a strange and unexpected sight.

"What in the-?", said Midoriya as he and all his classmates, teachers and friends gazed in confusion and wonder at what was currently inhabiting the Main Lobby area.

Swimming around the lobby in midair was countless forms of ocean-life, not unlike what one would see in the ocean except without a drop of water near any of them.

From an assortment of species of schools of fish swimming together to a bale of sea turtles, a squadron of manta rays, and even a pod of dolphins, it was an almost hypnotic sight to behold.

"Isn't this amazing?! They just showed up out of nowhere!", cried out the clown boy caretaker as he and the four young children were currently standing amidst the spectacle.

"It's so pretty!", said Katsuma. "Yeah, it's like an aquarium but without any water that you can walk around in.", agreed Mahoro.

"It really is like one of those walk-in aquariums.", said Uraraka in awe of the sight. She never thought that she'd ever go to something like that since tickets tended to be pricy but this seemed like an amazing alternative.

Maybe even better.

"I'm guessing this is another one of those anomalies you mentioned?", asked All Might towards the two suited men.

"That is correct.", answered The Executive, sounding unworried over the situation. Then again, he was not easy to read so it was difficult to tell any inner thoughts the tall man had at all.

"Still, it's quite incredible that we are able to witness such an odd phenomena. The marine life seem to be functioning perfectly fine even after being displaced from their natural habitat, let alone their universe of origin.", speculated Nezu as a Blue Tang casually swam past the UA principal's face.

One sea turtle swam low enough for a skeptical Aizawa to actually land a hand on and was actually surprised on an unnoticeable level. "They're real, alright. Definitely not an illusion of some kind.", the homeroom teacher confirmed. The smooth shell and the ridges of the pattern sure felt real so this couldn't be some kind of trick.

"So how long are we gonna have to deal with the airborne seafood buffet here?", asked Dabi.

"Not too long, this should be a simple enough situation to remedy. All I would ask is to not pay them any mind and avoid any and all potentially hazardous marine-life.", The Executive replied calmly.

"Potentially hazardous?", questioned Naomasa.

"I think he's referring to aquatic predators like orcas, barracuda and sharks.", answered Makoto.

"Wait… are you saying there could be FREAKING SHARKS flying around here!?!", asked a panicked Mineta. Sharks in the beach were one thing but FLYING SHARKS!?! Now that was a goddamn nightmare!

Many of the students and even some teachers soon got anxious from what was being implied now that THAT idea was swimming around in their heads like the fish over their heads.

Unbeknownst to everyone else, Eri had strayed from the group of children and had become mesmerized by one fish that appeared to be white with red and black stripes and covered in a multitude of frills. It hadn't registered the child that had been hypnotized by it and was merely swimming around minding its own business.

She was about to reach out and touch the fish when, faster than anyone could even notice, The Executive rushed straight towards the girl with speed that appeared to match Iida or even All Might in his prime. All that really gave the idea of the action was the sudden gust of wind that the crowd felt along with the sudden appearance of the tall man across the room in an instant.

As soon as the tall figure stood before the child he flicked his overcoat in front of the girl, acting as a barrier of sorts and dividing the space between her and the fish. The action caused the fish to be spooked and promptly swam away from the sudden action.

"That is a Lionfish. Their quills are extremely venomous.", The Executive explained to Eri as the two looked upon one another.

"Ve-num?", asked Eri. Sweet Dream immediately responded, calling out to the girl. "Their frilly things are poisonous! It keeps them from being eaten by a lot of other bigger fish. One poke from it and that would've been it for you!"

As she saw the Lionfish swim away and higher out of reach of everything else, the child looked up at the giant before her in awe. It dawned on her that he had essentially saved her life from the poison fish. He merely gave a blank shadowed stare at the girl.

"It is my duty to ensure the safety of all of you while I am your current host.", The Executive responded. "Thank you for saving me.", said Eri, repaying the rescue with a gentle hug on the tall man's leg.

The action itself had caused the giant to flinch slightly, recoiling if only for a second. He then merely gazed down towards the child, tilting his head and later began turning his gaze around as if not knowing how to respond to the unexpected action, like he was searching for an answer. The response did not go unnoticed by the rest of the group whose focus had settled on the two.

"Did you see that? It was like he didn't even know what a hug was…", All Might whispered towards Naomasa. "Guess he's used to that clown kid hugging him but not anyone else, maybe?", the detective reasoned.

Makoto smirked, "Seems he's not so good with kids in general." Aizawa understood in a way. Teenagers were one thing but small children like them could be especially unpredictable.

"Pat. Her. On. The. Head.", Daryl mouthed out silently to the still-confused Executive, even going so far as miming the action as reference.

The Executive leaned down and did just that, repeating the action gently(although awkwardly)and in a visibly robotic manner. As soon as The Executive walked Eri back to Togata's side, the tall man immediately straightens his suit jacket, something that was becoming an apparent habit of their host that everyone was starting to notice.

"Nobody panic. We've got everything under control here. I'm sure that'll be the last of the surprises here for now.", Daryl announced to the crowd.

At that moment, a shark had swam up from seemingly nowhere and peered down at the crowd below. The only thing was that at first glance, it was apparent that this was no ordinary shark. For staters, it was a bright almost neon-like yellow with a white underbelly. It also looked immensely animated and expressive, like it belonged in a children's bedroom rather than the ocean.

"What the heck is that?", asked Kaminari, pointing at the strange creature in more confusion than The Executive previously was.

"It looks like it crawled out of a kid's show.", said Sero. "Yeah, it also actually looks kinda cute.", remarked Ashido, smiling at the friendly creature that gave a bigger smile back. Whether it was awe or slight irritation, everyone's eyes soon were set as the cartoon shark began singing.

(Baby Shark by Pinkfong plays briefly, 0:00-0:20)

(PEW)

(BZZZZT)

But before the cartoon shark could even finish a single verse, a bolt of bright blue energy flew up and struck the creature. It immediately fell unceremoniously to the floor, hitting the ground with a THUD as it had been reduced to an unrecognizable, smoking, burnt, black lump.

Much of the crowd(mostly the classes of 1A, 1B and the rest of those near their age) were left absolutely dumbstruck from what just happened. Everyone's sights soon turned towards the source of the energy blast to see Daryl with what appeared to be some kind of still-smoking gun-like weapon in his raised hand. It looked less like your average Glock that shot bullets and more futuristic; with a silver chrome coating, glowing blue highlights, a glowing blue hilt and a longer and narrower barrel reminiscent of a revolver.

"You're welcome…", the average man said with an exhausted expression. "W-wa-was that shark dangerous?!", asked a slightly panicked Midoriya from the sight of the weapon. "No, but it's song is annoying as hell. It would've gotten stuck in your head for weeks, MONTHS if the little kids heard it. As soon as you manage to miraculously forget it, they'll be singing it and you'll be stuck trying to forget it AGAIN.", Daryl groaned.

The Executive, who had been standing next to his coworker at the moment, turned to him and said,"I would be most appreciative if you did not procure my personal belongings without my permission."

"Hey, you remember when Sweet Dream couldn't stop singing it.", the office worker stated, glancing at the clown boy and feeling relieved that he wasn't continuing the shark's song. He'll settle for his slight disappointment looking towards the burnt lump. "Aw, I haven't heard it in a while…, OH WELL!", said the clown boy, already moving on thanks to his short attention span. Daryl then handed back the handgun to The Executive, who pocketed the weapon in his overcoat's inner pockets.

"So that laser gun weapon is yours?", said Aizawa with a raised eyebrow towards the tall man.

"It is a relic from my previous life, before I was hired by my Superiors.", he answered, which only seemed to raise more confusion with the audience.

"Didn't he say he couldn't remember his first life? If that were the case then how could he know he owned a gun like that, let alone at all?", Midoriya thought to himself.

The rest of the children soon reunited with their respective guardians after being led towards them by Sweet Dream. Meanwhile The Executive simply headed to the Living Room where he would sit himself down at a nearby chair with a small round table beside it, scribbling down more unknown markings onto his clipboard.

"I shall make sure these ocean fauna are returned to their universe of origin. The stabilization process of the theater is still far from complete.", the suited giant called out to the rest of the crowd.

"I'm gonna go take a shower…", Toga said hazily, still coming off the high of the bloodshed she and everyone else had witnessed. The villainess then walked and entered the gate leading to the dorm rooms.

"Hopefully she'll be dressed and ready by the time the next film starts. I do NOT want to have to transport her here if she's in the middle of something.", Daryl thought with pure exhaustion at the potential headache that would cause.

Without much else to do, everyone soon dispersed to see any new updates throughout the theater.


Game Room

Kirishima and Kaminari had booted up Champions of the universe to find three new characters added onto the roster: Harry Hart, Eggsy, and Gazelle.

New stages also included The Black Prince Pub, Kingsman HQ(specifically the front lawn of it), South Glade Mission Church (which came with a group of silhouetted churchgoers attacking each other in the background), and finally the Catacombs and Ballroom of Valentine's Mountain Base.

"Hey, this might be the first movie where the main villain isn't playable here.", noted Kaminari as he went for the sword-legged badass.

"Yeah, I guess so. Though it makes sense. Valentine isn't the kind of villain that actually attacks people directly, he's more like the guy that plans for horrible things to make them happen. I mean, you saw how much he didn't like shooting Harry even though he didn't regret it. He's like a mastermind in that way, which has gotta be so much more unmanly and dangerous.", Kirishima replied.

Even though Valentine himself wasn't a fighter and the hardening student could totally take him in a fight easily, he had to admit that he didn't have the amount of brainpower as him. He wasn't a planner like most of his own smarter classmates like Midoriya or Yaoyarozu, he was a do-er. The spiky redhead went with Harry, to honor the fallen agent at the hands of such a coward. Their match soon began, selecting the Pub as their stage.

"If anything, those guys that are masterminds are probably more dangerous than any of us muscleheads. We can fight as much as we want and put in everything we've got and it might not make a difference. Meanwhile, those guys are able to point us in the right direction to make the most damage. We'd make a lot more mistakes without planners, for both sides. We wouldn't know what to do.", said the blond spark plug as their match carried on.

They soon realized that Richmond Valentine WAS in the game, but just not in the way they initially imagined. Kaminari had built up his power meter enough to activate Gazelle's final special attack, which triggered a short cinematic sequence where the villainess was shown making a call. It then cut to Valentine in his office in front of his desk within his mountain base. The tech genius villain slammed his hand down onto his desk, activating the V-chips and sending his signal worldwide. The opponent was then rushed by an angry mob of greyed out silhouettes that earned Kaminari victory for the first round.

"Huh, I guess Valentine is in here after all.", noted the electric student. "Yeah, it's kinda like with Megamind and Minion in their final special attacks.", replied Kirishima.

Both were reminded of both characters making cameos in each others Final Special Super Moves. For Megamind, it showed a short cinematic where it cut to his lair where Minion activated the Death Ray, the machine was then shown firing down onto the opponent. For Minion, a giant robotic hand came down next to the space fish palm-up followed by Minion stepping onto said palm and being lifted into the main cockpit of the Battle Suit to be copilot alongside Megamind. The Mecha then unleashed its fury upon the opponent with punches, kicks, weapons galore and a final finishing stomp followed by celebratory fireworks and a striking pose.

As they began their next match, Kaminari decided to switch towards the newest Kingsman Eggsy. During the match, the electric blond made another discovery through use of another Final Special Attack.

"Woah, check it out! Merlin's in here too!", Kaminari exclaimed.

After initiating Eggsy's Final Special, it showed Eggsy making a call of his own, prompting a short cinematic of Merlin at his desk from within the private jet working his hacking magic in activating the implants. One was shown glowing on the opponents neck as they clutched it in pain. Before they could do anything else, their head exploded into beautiful fireworks.

After another victory on Kaminari's end, he couldn't help but ask an obvious question that had lingered in the air between their matches.

"Hey, you know where Bakugo is? He's usually here around this time but instead it's just you.", he asked the spiky-haired student.

"Oh, yeah. He usually does come around here but he said he was gonna head to the Danger Room. He looked like something was getting to him.", Kirishima replied.

"But he always looks like something is getting to him."

"Yeah, I don't know. I guess he hated what happened to Harry and wanted to take it out on something." The two boys then continued with their match.


Danger Room

Bakugo was pissed, which was a common occurrence that wouldn't be surprising at all to those that knew him and were used to his behavior. What wasn't common was his reasoning behind it this time, it's what's made him head over here to challenge someone that had to of recently been added to the Danger Room's ever-growing Rogue's Gallery of heroes and villains to face in simulated combat.

He never bothered battling either Hawkeye or Black Widow in the Danger Room since he never took the concept of quirkless heroes seriously. It only would've been a waste of time since he firmly believed he would've decimated both easily.

'Quirkless heroes still sound like a crazy and stupid idea to me, yet Egghead and Old Man Four-Eyes were able to pull it off against a villains' weapon that would've screwed over all of us', he thought angrily to himself. If a weapon or similar-functioning Quirk could turn off his own damn common sense, that Church would've been completely obliterated if he were there. Along with everyone inside it. He'd never be able to be called the Number One Hero if he was caught up in something like that, and here was this Quirkless old man that had done so much in his life if that room full of newspapers was anything to go by.

And yet it wasn't enough for Hart to make it through, coming up short in the end after getting his wrinkled ass cornered and gunned down by the villainous variant.

As he scrolled through the selection on the control panel, he wasn't surprised to find Valentine missing from the roster. "Of course that spineless lisped bastard isn't here to fight.", the blond growled. Since Egghead already managed to take down Sword Legs, that only left one option remaining. He made his selection and entered the white room.

The interior of the Danger Room flickered before the layout changed completely, transforming before the explosive teen's eyes until the blank white-tiled walls took the shape of the interior of the Black Prince Pub. He found himself standing in the same position where another rebellious punk had once stood in the film. He watched as his opponent digitized before his eyes at the front doors of the pub.

Once the figure had become solid, Bakugo then spoke out to the simulated silent man.

"Even if you're probably just a bunch of ones and zeros and talking to you would be like talking to a refrigerator or an app on a phone, I've still got this to say to you. After everything you had done in your life, it was pathetic seeing you get taken out by someone like Lisp-Mouth. If you're supposed to be a hero in your world, you outta be taken down by someone that'll actually give you a challenge. Not just someone using their lackeys or cheap tricks to do all of their dirty work, but someone that'll give you a real fight."

As he felt his Quirk become reenabled and tested it with some sparks from his hands, he ended his declaration with a held-up hand and a battle-starved grin.

"Someone like me."

From across the room, the simulated Harry Hart merely replied with a preprogrammed response.

"So…are we going to stand around here all day? Or are we going to fight?"


Hall of Heroes

Midoriya, Iida, Uraraka and Todoroki explored the Hall of Heroes and saw the newest additions from the recent film. On the heroes and allies side were brand new portraits.

Harry Hart/Agent Galahad: Veteran Kingsman Agent

Gary "Eggsy" Dunwin/Agent Galahad: Newest Honorary Agent of Kingsman

Merlin: Technician and Computer Specialist of Kingsman

Roxy/Agent Lancelot: Newest Recruit of Kingsman

On the villains' side, there were three new additions. One of which, while still surprising, also was deemed warranted given where his loyalty fell in the end.

Richmond Valentine: Mad Tech Genius Billionaire

Gazelle: Valentine's Blade-Legged Right Hand Woman

Chester King/Arthur: Former Head of Kingsman and Traitorous Defector to Valentine's Cause

"Despite being Quirkless and never even fighting the heroes directly, Valentine may have been one of the most dangerous villains we've seen so far.", said Midoriya as he gazed at the man's portrait. Despite being a variant of Nick Fury, it was like he retained his dangerous cunning and intellect but without any of the sensibility or morality of the SHIELD director.

"I pray a villain in our world never emerges with a quirk that has the same effects as those SIM cards.", Iida said solemnly alongside the green-haired boy, shuddering at the idea of so many people going mad, both civilians and heroes being consumed by this rage and unleashing their own abilities upon one another.

"I just hope the damage from those moments when they were on didn't cause too much damage.", said Uraraka woefully. Even though they managed to see Eggsy's sister be spared from this calamity, she feared it only opened the door to those less fortunate that did not have such assisted foresight.

"At least Eggsy was able to stop him, which in it of itself is amazing.", the One For All holder said, noticing the growing distress within his classmate and wanting to help take her mind off it. Their collective gaze was then switched to Eggsy's portrait on the heroes' wall.

"Yeah… yeah it's actually amazing! We've seen quirkless heroes before with Hawkeye, Black Widow, and even technically Iron Man to a stretch but this might be the first time we've seen a fully quirkless hero take center stage!", the Zero Gravity girl said with a growing smile, her earlier despair slowly fading away.

The three then noticed how silent Todoroki had been. They all turned and saw how focused his attention had been towards the portrait next to Eggsy. The air surrounding the small group soon grew melancholic as they hung their heads for the fallen hero. Midoriya stepped to the fire-and-ice user's side patted his shoulder, gaining the Hot and Cold student's attention.

"He won't be forgotten, and neither will what he's done in his life.", he told his friend.

"Midoriya is correct, Harry Hart is a hero through and through. Although he may be gone now, he has proven to be someone that all pro-heroes must strive to be.", said Iida confidently.

"Yeah and hopefully just like Eggsy, we can all be heroes that can make Harry proud!", proclaimed Uraraka.

"We will. We all will.", said Todoroki, finally breaking his silence. "The formal mannerisms may be different at a cultural standpoint; but at its core, to embody what it means to be a hero is the same as to embody a gentleman."

The small group wandered around some more before finally moving on.


Museum

Several students from both 1A, 1B, and Hado and Amajiki explored the newest additions added into the Museum.

There was an entire exhibit where the speciality of Kingsman, the signature handcrafted luxurious suits were stood, worn in on blank mannequins and propped up in glass display boxes. Surprisingly(or unsurprisingly to those that knew him personally), Compress was present, admiring the craftsmanship.

"My compliments to Kingsman's tailors. They certainly know how to balance style and functionality.", said the masked villain.

Alongside the garments were prop replicas of each of the gadgets used by the organization in glass boxes of their own; the signet rings, the lighter hand grenade, and especially the iconic multi-faceted umbrella.

As for the screens depicting scenes from the newest film, the following were all included: the Black Prince Pub brawl, the four shown trials of Kingsman's "job interview", the gruesome massacre of South Glade Mission Church, the activation of the implants sequence and finally Eggsy's duel with Gazelle.

As Nejire and Amajiki peered at the different screens, the quiet latter of the two noticed a slight new detail on one of the monitors. Meanwhile the more rambunctious of the two noticed when some familiar faces arrived.

"Hey! What are you guys doing here!?", Hado asked as she not only saw Mirio with Eri but also Ragdoll who had Kota, Katsuma and Mahoro all accompanying her.

"Well, the prize room didn't have that much updates and Eri and the other kids were wondering who was in the new movie we saw.", Togata said, rubbing the back of his head and chuckling nervously. It was obvious he had no clue how to respond to them all.

"That's why we brought them all here, hopefully to show them some scenes that aren't… too much.", said an equally anxious Ragdoll. The two guardians were hoping there would be a safe scene or two that displayed both Harry's and Eggsy's skills.

"We just wanted to know who this Kings Man is. Is he a hero?", Katsuma asked bluntly. The innocence in his eyes were really making it clear how difficult of a question it was.

"That Sweet Dream guy said it was a 'grown-up' movie.", Kota huffed, his disappointment in missing out made very apparent.

"Well… Kingsman is actually a group. Like SHIELD in the Marvel movies.", the third-year began. She understood their frustration in not knowing something and wanted to help however she can.

"Their heroes are like their world: quirkless. So they use gadgets and fighting skills to save their world and stop villains.", explained Togata.

"Oh, so they're like those two heroes in the Avengers? The red-haired lady and the guy with the arrows?", asked Mahoro. She specifically thought that Black Widow was cool fighting off villains and aliens without a quirk.

"Yeah! That's it exactly!", said Ragdoll, the Pussycat member mentally breathing a sigh of relief.

"You guys might have trouble with showing them any any of those scenes.", Amajiki called out, facing the monitors. Normally he'd hate garnering any attention from anyone if he could help it but right now his curiosity overrode his timidity. As everyone looked at the monitors, the previously clear displays now showed slightly pixilated footage. And a message.

"Parental Lock?", asked Nejire as she read the message aloud.

"Children under 13 years of age are not allowed to view this scene without guardian supervision. Such scenes shall be censored heavily depending on the severity of the scene while a guardian is within the vicinity."

"Huh, I guess that makes sense. Glad to see The Executive think ahead for scenes like that. Although it makes me wonder how many more movies we'll being seeing with this level of… um… maturity.", said Mirio, hesitating slightly with the wording given how chaotic the film ended.


Living Room

Once everyone had their fill of all the updates in the theater and he had taken all the notes that he could take, Midoriya was curious on other people's input on the movie. He'd originally planned to ask his classmates that remained in the Living Room but as soon as he got there he noticed Aizawa-Sensei talking with… Ashido?

"I wonder what they could be talking about. Could Ashido have done something wrong?", the green-haired boy questioned as he approached the two.

"Is something wrong Aiza-oof!", Midoriya asked before he felt himself stumble and bump into… something mid-question. The two of them both turned to face him, having caught their attention.

"Huh? What is-?", the green-haired student wondered. Another one of those anomalies perhaps? He reached out to see what this thing he couldn't see possibly was until…

"Hey careful, you almost poked one of my eyes.", spoke a voice in a hushed tone.

"Huh!? H-HA-HAGAKURE!? I'M SO SORRY! I DIDN'T-WHAT ARE YOU-?", said Midoriya in a suddenand blushing panic. Realizing she was here completely invisible meant that she had to have been without any clothes, which only made his face redder at the thought that he might have chosen to touch someplace that wasn't her face.

Uraraka couldn't help but blush slightly too, having a similar revelation to Midoriya's and trying to determine if she would forgive him if he did end up touching someplace inappropriate, whether it was intentional or not.

All three then shushed the boy in a cautious and desperate tone, looking past him and towards the tall suited man sitting on a small lone table. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw The Executive's focus still remained towards his clipboard.

"Now that was too close.", Aizawa whispered, with Mina and Hagakure both nodding.

"Yeah, also it's okay Midoriya.", the invisible girl reassured the greenette, relieving him of any possible suspicion of perverted intentions on his part.

"What's going on?", he asked, also now in a hushed tone with the others.

"Is something wrong Sir?", asked Iida earnestly. If there was he wanted to help his teacher however he could.

"Mr. Aizawa came up to us and asked for our help.", explained Mina. "Well… more specifically, Hagakure's help."

"Since her quirk poses less of a physical threat than most of us here, I'm guessing it was one of many that were left active and enabled since neither Kiddo or The Executive had bothered to have it disabled like the rest of us here.", noted Aizawa. He had managed to deduce this over his time here in this theater. He'd rather be damned if he didn't have any kind of investigation to keep his mind busy.

Their host only seemed to raise more questions than give any actual answers and after the behavior that he's exhibited, he couldn't say that his ethics weren't questionable.

He had talked with Hawks earlier and was glad to have found that someone else had come to a have their own questions towards their host. If the previous bluff, getting a child to watch children and the presence of these anomalies were of any indication, this Executive wasn't someone he could completely trust.

Not just with his own life, but the lives of his students, Vlad's and the rest of the children here.

"Huh, I guess I always found it weird that your quirk was still… um…on? Active? Well, you know what I'm trying to say.", noted Uraraka. She didn't want to make her classmate feel uncomfortable.

"So is that why we're all whispering? You're planning to send her to spy on the Executive to see if he's really repairing the theater?", said Todoroki, getting straight to the point with his teacher's judgement. In all fairness it didn't seem like that bad a plan.

"I guess it makes sense. Hagakure would just have to sneak up on The Executive at the table he sat down at and try to get a glimpse at that clipboard he's always writing in and see what he's actually doing.", deduced Midoriya.

"You hit the nail on the head, Midoriya.", said the homeroom teacher.

"Yeah, that's about it.", said Mina in agreement.

"Isn't this level of deception an invasion of our host's privacy?", questioned Iida.

"We need to be sure. The lives of everyone here depend on it if those previous anomalies were any indication. All heroes need to be constantly on guard and have as much awareness of the ongoings around them as much as possible.", said Aizawa, settling the matter. Kingsman understood this and even the Avengers understood this to some extent. Knowledge of underhanded activity wasn't just vital in hero work, it's been shown to keep entire worlds safe from destruction.

Iida had to agree, rather reluctantly. He didn't like the idea of sneaking behind their host's back as it seemed disrespectful. Not that he wanted to be just as disrespectful towards his teacher also.

It just felt like an immoral feedback loop of where his loyalty should be placed: his homeroom teacher and classmates who all aspire to be amazing heroes or this mysterious host that was left for them to be in their care. He already acted a lot more professionally than Kiddo and was taking his job more seriously given he treated everyone here like they were all clients more than guests. While Kiddo claimed to have stated this all really as fun for a god, The Executive was more so treating this as an assignment.

Kiddo seemed more lively while The Executive came off more empty and emotionless, even struggling to understand emotions completely if Eri's previous rescue was made to be an example. At least his coworkers seemed more exuberant to some extent, with Daryl passing the same level as their own teacher in terms of socializing. Sweet Dream seemed a bit… too exuberant.

"I'll get a peek at what he's writing and then come back here as quickly and quietly as I can. I'll let you all know what I find. Wish me luck guys.", said the invisible girl. Everyone nodded, silently wishing her luck on her mission. She soon made her way to the small lone table where the tall man was seated.

Everyone else, under Aizawa's order, soon looked to different directions as to not arouse suspicion while Hagakure tiptoed towards the Executive. She didn't know how good his hearing was so she made sure to make any sound her footsteps could make as silent and suppressed as possible.

She didn't need to feel the cold floor under her bare feet to get a chill up her spine whenever she saw or even thought of their current host. He always seemed like something out of some kind of horror story, like she'd be utterly terrified to run into him alone in a dark alley at night.

Or anywhere alone at night.

Or even anywhere at any time of day in general really, if she was alone. He was just that creepy and unsettling to her.

If they didn't see the nice things he'd done like the dance before the movie or scaring away a dangerous fish from little Eri, he would've come off as completely heartless.

Once Hagakure was directly behind the seated suited man, she tried looking over The Executive's shoulder. He was seated in a similar cross-legged position akin to when he first took attendance upon his arrival. Unfortunately even on her tiptoes, her gaze couldn't reach over his shoulder.

"Oh come on! How the heck is he still taller than me SITTING DOWN!?", Toru thought, mentally whining to herself. Even Shoji hadn't been that tall.

That only left the unpleasant option of getting even closer to him, looking directly at his clipboard from either by his side or… right in front of him. As she side-stepped closer, her mind and pulse raced. She had to watch where she balanced herself. She didn't want to risk shifting the table and alerting the shady host.

What if he mistook her for an anomaly? What would he do to her then? She shook her head, not wanting to think too much on that dark possibility.

"Just focus, head in the game. You just need to catch a quick peek and that's it. Just see what it says and you can head back to Aizawa-Sensei and let him and everyone else know.", Toru thought in order to calm herself.

Unbeknownst to her, The Executive's head perked up, as if hearing some almost unheard sound.

Hagakure stepped closer, mere inches from the tall man but finally able to catch sight of The Executive's clipboard that he always kept on hand.

As his pen flew across the board, the writing itself felt disorienting to make out to the invisible student. The best way she could describe it was it resembling one of those optical illusions that always hid some kind of hidden picture if stared at the correct way. She remembered seeing such pictures online yet this felt near impossible to decipher, like a whole different level entirely that left her feelings nauseous.

"What kind of symbols are those? I can't tell what language it's supposed to be. And are they MOVING?! It's like they're alive! That's so freaky! And staring at it is kinda making me dizzy."

Toru looked away, blinking several times and taking some quiet breaths before she felt she needed one of those brown bags…

…again.

But as she turned back to try and refocus on the clipboard, she was met with the gaze of The Executive. He had ceased his scribbling and had turned his head toward her direction. In this new position, he was practically face to face with the invisible girl. His head tilted from side to side as if inspecting something in the distance.

It took all her willpower to stifle any scream or sound at all that could've given her away.

"It's ok, he can't see you. You're completely invisible. He doesn't know you're here.", Hagakure mentally reassured herself, easing her nerves.

And it worked for a moment until The Executive spoke up.

"If you were under the assumption that my vision was limited to visible light, then I am afraid that you were sorely mistaken, Toru Hagakure.", said the seated tall figure blankly.

Her heart practically skipped a beat at the mention of her name. Had she not used the bathroom beforehand after the movie, she might've done so involuntarily right there.

"Wha-? H-h-how…?", she asked, knees beginning to buckle.

"Ultraviolet. Infrared. I hold access to the entire Electromagnetic Spectrum. And even then, I do not require it in order to detect your presence. Now for modesty's sake, please redress yourself.

That was as much as Toru could take. She had become so used to not being seen from her quirk that the idea of someone or something actually seeing her sounded impossible. Still freaked out(and slightly embarrassed after the concept of modesty was brought up), she ran away back to her friends absolutely terrified and tearing up.

She even made a feeble attempt at covering herself while running with one arm across her chest and the other planted between her legs. She didn't know how much he could see exactly but she wasn't giving anything to chance.

"M-M-M-MINAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!", Hagakure wailed as she rushed to hug her friend, crying in her concerned classmate's embrace. The rest of her classmates and her homeroom teacher were in a similar state of concern and confusion.

"Hagakure, what's wrong?", asked Iida.

"Did something happen?", questioned Aizawa. If their host did something to his student…

"What happened, Toru? Just breathe, okay?", said Mina in an attempt to calm the panicked girl.

"H-h-he-he saw m-me. I don't know how but he saw me…", Hagakure stuttered, her voice quivering with fear. Aside from her tone of voice, they could see her tears manifest and trail down her face so they knew how much distress she was in.

Both her classmates and homeroom teacher were taken aback by this piece of information. It seemed downright impossible even with quirks that enhanced sight like that support class student.

"You said he saw you? Did he say he did?", asked Todoroki, to which the invisible merely replied with a 'Mmm Hmm'.

Mina couldn't help but feel slight fury towards their host as she glanced towards him with daggers in her eyes.

"I swear if he was freaking ogling you, I'm gonna knock that stupid hat off his stupid creeper head!", she said through gritted teeth and a raised clenched fist.

"How in the-how the heck is that even possible?!", said a bewildered Uraraka as she tried to comfort the scared student with a hand on what she guessed was her shoulder.

"I DON'T KNOW! All he mentioned was some electric spectrum or something!", Toru replied frantically.

At this, Midoriya began to connect some dots.

"Hold on, do you mean the Electromagnetic Spectrun?", he guessed to which Hagakure answered with a shaky yes.

"Then that could mean he had used Infrared Thermal Imaging to see her.", Iida mused, beginning to see the logic of Midoriya's reasoning.

"You're right. She may not be visible, but human body heat would be visible with Thermal Imaging. Our natural body heat isn't something we can detect as easily.", said Momo.

"Body heat? Oh, you mean like in those Predator movies? How the alien hunter sees all those big muscly men in the jungle as orangey red people-shaped blobs?", asked Mina, beginning to understand what her classmates were talking about.

"That's about the best example of Infrared Thermal Imaging we'll get across with you, so yeah. Like that.", noted Aizawa.

"S-s-so-so y-you mean… he… h-he didn't see…?", stuttered Toru, still trembling in her friend's arms as her tears began to subside.

"N-no. If that was how he knew you were there, then that's the best bet on how. Your modesty should still be secure.", replied Midoriya.

After hearing that, the invisible girl then ran to give the green-haired boy a hug as well.

"Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou…"

His face then grew a bright burning red as he kept his hands held up and as far from Hagakure as he could until she let him be. If his first meeting with Uraraka had nearly short-circuited his brain, this would've nearly fried it completely as he was left feeling like his soul was parting from his body.

Speaking of the gravity girl, she was in a similar state as Deku when she realized that he was practically being hugged by a naked girl.

Mina, noticing both of her classmates' reactions, decided to pry her friend off before leaving any permanent damage.

"Ok, ok. You might wanna cool it, Toru. Midoriya's head looks like it's about to explode.", the pink-skinned girl chuckled nervously.

At around this point, Daryl had phase-walked out of a nearby wall to update The Executive on the repairs when he found himself stumbling upon the whole scene. He walked towards the still-seated suited man and asked for context.

"What'd I miss?"

"Toru Hagakure had attempt to perceive the 5th dimensional properties of my clipboard in a form of espionage."

"So she was spying on you. What'd you do?"

"I merely notified her of my awareness of her attempt to which she immediately fled in a distraught and fearful state."

"You wha…? AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO REMEDY THE SITUATION?!? SHE'S YOUR GUEST!!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOUR GUESTS CRY!!!", Daryl responded incredulously.

"It was not my intention to cause her distress.", The Executive stated in his monotone voice.

Daryl pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing deeply.

"Oh… you don't understand. Of course, you don't understand…", he muttered to himself. He breathed deeply through his nostrils before exhaling.

"Look, just go and apologize to her. You're supposed to be looking after everyone here, right? Making sure everyone is safe?"

The Executive merely tilted his head at the response.

"I am recalibrating the stability of the Theater. As long as they do not attempt to inflict physical harm to one another, they are secure."

"Right, but you know that also means being mentally secure. There have been other deities and powerful entities that have treated their guests worse as hosts, right? Some even downright cruel?"

"That is correct. Do you mean to say that I should be more attentive to their psychological states?"

"Yeah. Regardless of whether you meant to make them cry outside of the movies or not, you should at least put them at ease. Reassure them. You can start by apologizing to her.", said Daryl, pointing at the invisible girl hugging the Midoriya as he was doing an incredible impression of a tomato.

"Very well." The tall man then stood up as he stuffed his clipboard into his interior overcoat pocket and began to walk to the group.

Everyone soon grew silent as their attention was brought towards their host. Ashido, despite learning of the Electromagnetic Spectrum thing, still gave a him a stink eye.

"I have come to acknowledge that I owe you an apology. It was not my intention to cause you distress, Toru Hagakure. If it is any consultation, I am incapable of experiencing any form of desire of lustful nature so your nudity would not illicit any attraction. Please enjoy the rest of your break until the next film commences."

The Executive then returned to his seat, leaving everyone stupefied in silence.

"I suppose that's the closest thing to an apology that we'll get from him.", noted Todoroki, leaving the others blanched aside from Iida, who nodded in agreement.

"You know… if you wanted answers, all you had to do was ask."

Everyone there couldn't help but feel a bit sheepish when Daryl turned back towards the group. After explaining the whole deal with the clipboard, Toru left with Mina to where her clothes were left. Once the two had returned with Hagakure fully dressed again, the average man then gave the homeroom teacher and his students the same rundown of his background that he gave the villains back in the bar previously.

"So you were just an ordinary office worker? That would explain your attire.", said Todoroki.

"My condolences to your… um… ", said Iida as he then had no clue how to addres the man's untimely demise.

"Death? Yeah, it's been a long while since then. I've come to terms with it.", the office worker replied with a mere shrug.

"But what about your 'associates'? What can you tell us about them?", questioned Aizawa. The man's story simply sounded like some run-of-the-mill Isekai, and the only reason he knew of the genre was from confiscating a manga of similar genre from a past student.

"Well, there's not that much I really know about The Executive. All I know is that he also comes from a world of Heroes and Villains."

"Like our world?", said Midoriya, already getting excited at the chance of another world of heroes.

"I think it's more like the MCU or one of the Marvel and DC universes. Also that he was approached by our superiors in his second life in his world unlike me and Sweet Dream, where we had just the one.", said Daryl.

"So that's what he meant by his past life… he was referring to his second but couldn't remember his first.", the One For All user thought to himself.

"Wait…there's ANOTHER universe filled with heroes aside from Marvel?!?"

Ignoring this DC universe for a moment(no matter how much it itched his brain wanting to know what heroes were in THAT world), Midoriya and the others pressed on.

"Speaking of Sweet Dream, what about him? We're grateful you called him to watch over Eri, Kota, and the Shimano kids, but it doesn't look like he's that much older than them."

"Yeah it did seem kind of weird that The Executive asked for him personally. You also said he wasn't a kid. What was that all about?", asked Mina.


Cafeteria

The teachers and Hawks knew of Aizawa's little intel expedition and while they did try to talk him out of it, it proved to be fruitless in the end when Nezu gave his own compliance towards the plan.

The adults were left to talk about the newest film, a first towards what was promised to be darker themes in the future.

"I really hope these future films won't be as dark or violent as this one.", mused All Might, still reeling from the recent film. The sight of all those people going mad chilled him to the bone.

"I know they'll eventually face villains that'll force them into violent situations but I really worry of the students becoming too ruthless from any of those future films.", said Midnight, voicing her concern.

"It was always going to be a possibility, but that's why we're here. To make sure they're on the right track.", noted Thirteen. They all were aware of Bakugo's behavior after winning the sports tournament. The last thing they needed was to end up being influenced to be more like that.

"Yeah. I'm not that worried. As excessive as they might be, Kingsman seems really disciplined in making sure their candidates aren't anything like that. Our students handled themselves fine during that Humarise situation after all, and Eggsy and Roxy did so too even after being newbies and all.", Snipe added.

"It's fair to say that something like this would be even more disastrous given all of the quirks in of our world.", said Present Mic with a usually unseen serious face.

"If this world and the Marvel films have taught us anything, it's that even in quirkless worlds there'll be heroes and villains.", said Cementos.

"Eggsy and Kingsman as a whole have proven to be quite a formidable force. And excellent heroes for their specific world.", said Nezu cheerily as he enjoyed his cup of tea.

"How do you think Aizawa's little recon mission is going?", Makoto asked to everyone. Their heads all turned and gave a wide eyed expression.

"What?", the detective asked as she noticed even her brother seated beside her wasn't looking directly at her but above her.

"Hello!"

"GAH!" Glancing up, Makoto was met with the grinning colorful face of Sweet Dream as he decided to crash the adults' meeting.

"Did you guys like the movie? Daryl and The Executive said I'm not allowed to go to those worlds on my own. But that's ok since it means spending time with them!"

Many of them felt nervous and unsettled, not knowing how to respond to the clown kid until Naomasa spoke up.

"So…erm… before the movie, Daryl said you aren't technically a child. You don't happen to know what he meant by that, do you?", he asked.

"Hmm? Oh! Oh yeah, that!", the clown kid replied happily before floating over the table and sitting in a cross-legged position a foot above it.

"I am what you all would call a bonafide certified genuine imaginary friend!", he declared proudly.

Everyone simply blinked.

This just left everyone seated at the table even more confused. Even Hawks, who had been relaxing at a distant table nearby couldn't help but have his curiosity peaked as he soon got up and sat down with everyone else.

"An imaginary friend? But we can see him. He's real.", asked a confused Midoriya back in the Living Room.

"Yeah, none of that makes any sense. We all saw and heard him so he can't be imaginary, right?", asked Uraraka, tilting her head at whatever this could imply.

"Reality is subjective depending on where you stand in the Multiverse and greater Omniverse.", replied Daryl blankly to the small group.

"Ugh… anyone else kinda getting a headache from that?", groaned Ashido.

"I am. It's just weird to wrap my head around. Like, does that mean he's real now and wasn't before?", answered Hagakure.

"So that's what you meant when you said he was technically not a child…", deduced Aizawa, deciding to entertain the boggling notion as these pieces were mentally put together.

"You're the byproduct of a child.", concluded Naomasa bluntly in the Cafeteria.

"Don't know what a byproduct is, but The Executive also called me this other thing. I don't think he was trying to be mean.", answered the clown boy.

"A… tonka? A tutu? A… toupe?", he guessed, trying to remember the term given to him from his one of his besties.

"Oh! Do you mean to say 'a Tulpa'?", asked Nezu, who began to gain an understanding of Sweet Dream's nature.

"Yeah! That's it! That's the word!", the clown boy announced gleefully.

"Fascinating…", the UA principal said amazed. This certainly answered some questions he had and gave him more in return. A puzzle that he became more invested in with each passing interaction.

"And what's a tulpa exactly? Like, just pretend everyone else here doesn't know.", asked Present Mic.

"I've heard of this concept in psychology studies. A Tulpa is supposedly an entity that is manifested from pure belief, a being with sentience separate from the mind it derived from.", noted Iida.

"Yeah, he was whipped up by this one kid in his home Earth. A little boy around the younger kids' age. Didn't have that many friends so he thought one up.", said Daryl. He sighed heavily as he shook his head, a forlorn look in his eyes that everyone there noticed.

"Poor kid… still has no idea what happened to his friend."

That got the group's attention. They noticed the dreary and pitiful tone in his voice and Todoroki, being the only one not understanding the tragic undertone, out of curiosity simply asked the question.

"What happened to Sweet Dream's friend?"

"Anyways, my kid imagined me! His name was Bobby and we had so much fun together!", Sweet Dream said happily, looking off in the distance as he reminisced of the early days.

"We would draw, he was such a good artist. We would have dance parties together. We would even go outside and play pretend. He'd be a superhero like all you guys while I would be his sidekick!"

The adults at the table all listened to the clown boy, captivated by his whimsical nostalgia. As energetic and sporadic as he was, his story sounded believable despite the impossible implications. It was because of how much he believed it himself.

"One day we wanted to go ice-skating at the lake…", his brow then furrowed. "…but his mommy said no. Bobby really wanted to go, so he snuck away when no one was looking. I told him that he might get in trouble but he said we wouldn't take long."

The clown boy looked down to the table. His smile returned, only softer and not as wide as how they had seen it before.

"Once we were outside and at the lake, he had his ice skates on and we skated, like we were flying like real superheroes. Then I heard a cracking sound and Bobby fell into the lake. I was his imaginary friend so I went with him. I thought it was weird for him to go swimming with his clothes on and even weirder that he later took a nap at the bottom of the lake."

All of the adults at the table had grown eerily silent, each and every one feeling their heart going into their stomach.

"Oh dear…", Recovery Girl muttered under her breath.

"It took an hour for the kid's parents to figure out what happened and have his body hauled out by emergency services.", Daryl continued to Aizawa and his students. All of them looked distraught from the turn this story had taken. Ashido and Hagakure both were on the verge of tears.

"Normally when a child dies, or at least their innocence dies, so does their imaginary friend. But in Sweet Dream's case, that didn't happen. He just stayed in that lake. Couldn't even break through the surface of it, even when Spring rolled around."

"I guess he was secretly playing hide-n-seek with his mommy and daddy cause they lowered a rope down into the water and pulled him out on a pulley thing while I waited for him to wake up.", Sweet Dream huffed in annoyance.

"I tried to follow him but the top of the lake felt hard like ice. Even the hole that we came in through felt hard. I kept punching it and hitting it but I couldn't get through. Even when the ice went away, came back, and went away AGAIN, I still couldn't get out!", he whined, getting more upset by the second.

"It was dark and cold… quiet and boring… and… and lonely.", the clown boy said, finally settling down.

"But then, one day, my bosses showed up!", he cheered, his previous frown vanishing in an instant.

"The Executive calls them our Superiors. Anyways, they told me that if I do what they ask me to do, I could leave that dumb lake, go see all kinds of new worlds, make new friends, AND HAVE ALL KINDS OF AMAZING ADVENTURES!!!!", he exclaimed, flying up to the air and making mini fireworks.

After falling back to a foot off the table, Sweet Dream concluded his little story.

"After that, I got to meet The Executive and then Daryl and the three of us have been best buddies ever since! Our bosses have us live at HQ and they say we're not allowed to see our homes anymore which stinks since I can't see Bobby. I asked and they say he's in a better place, which is great! I hope he has new friends there too like I do!"

The adult pros were left pale-faced and speechless from the strange story. Some shifted uncomfortably, not knowing how to even respond to all of that.

"And the rest, is history…", Daryl concluded.

Aizawa and his students were on the same boat with the adult pros that had been given the same story but with a different teller.

"I…I never would've guessed…", Midoriya trailed off in a daze. He didn't think much from Sweet Dream's wide smile and energetic nature, rather than feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Now they all felt overwhelmed with a heavy heart at such a story, the girls specifically feeling more saddened at such an origin.

"Does he even know? Or at least have a grasp on the concept?", asked Momo. She knew death was not an easy topic to get across when it came to children.

"I'm not sure. I think he's got a better handle on it now.", the office worker replied.

"Let's hope so…", Aizawa sighed.

Still, he and the other pros couldn't help but wonder: what kind of power did these Superiors have to bring a figment of someone's imagination into reality?


Apocalyptic Workshop

In the workshop, Hatsume and Melissa were putting the finishing touches on their latest project after putting the arc reactor to the side. Power Loader continued to oversee their work.

"Alright! This first batch of babies is almost ready!", Hatsume announced as she and Shield finished securing the charging cables.

"It's time. Let's hope this works. We don't exactly have that same alien power source that Megamind had.", said Melissa.

The statement went over the Support Course student's head as she flipped the switch, causing the lights in the workshop to flicker as her newest creations were given life.

On the workshop table, a dozen brain-bots lay scattered and lifeless, their glass domes remaining empty.

"Live, my babies! LIVE!!!", she commanded like a young female pink-haired Frankenstein.

Suddenly, each of the glass domes began to flicker. A spark of life. Soon, all of the plasma ball glass domes began to light up and crackle with pink electricity instead of Megamind's iconic blue. The brain-bots all began to float up into the air one by one.

"Well I'll be. It worked!", Melissa cheered happily.

"They didn't explode. That's an improvement.", said Power Loader with a nod of approval.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABIES!!! COME TO MAMA!!!", Mei cried out with pride and joy, welcoming her(and Melissa's)newest creations with open arms.

The drones immediately rushed the girl, knocking her off her feet and onto the floor in a dog pile. But her laughter indicated that she couldn't care less.

Melissa and Power Loader merely blanched at the sight, glad to see the young inventor so happy even if she might need to be checked for any internal injury.

"Are you ok, Hatsume?", asked a sweatdropping Melissa. Unfortunately, this only brought Hatsume's attention towards her.

"Oh! Don't forget your other mommy!", Mei called out, pointing at the Shield inventor.

"Huh?! HOLD ON! WAITWAITWAIT-", she asked, holding up her arms and waving her hands before being tackled to the floor as well by half of the brain-bots that decided to meet their other mother. The wind was practically knocked out of the poor girl, but as she glanced at their new drones, she elected to ignore it with a queasy smile.


Doomsday Bar

The patrons of the bar(aside from Gentle and La Brava) couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction from the film, those with the most bloodlust especially.

"It's about time we got to see a really good movie at this theater.", said Shigaraki, a decrepit grin still on his face. The sight of all those people going after each other wouldn't be leaving his mind anytime soon. He may actually cherish it such a moment, which would be a first for him.

"And to think, we could be seeing more movies like that in the future. Fingers crossed, at least.", replied Dabi, the scarred villain actually holding up some crossed fingers.

"To turn the populace of a world into ravenous dogs, what an incredible and poetic turn for our hero society.", All For One said, smiling under his own mask.

"A pity I had not thought of enacting such a plan myself."

"It can't be too late to do that in our world, can it? At least to just one city or district even?", asked Shigaraki in a tone comparable to a child told that he couldn't get a toy during a trip to the store.

"No, sadly it'd be rather unoriginal now. It would appear quite mediocre of us to attempt to unleash such an event in our world what with the heroes' already acknowledging such a possibility. If I recall, Humarise already executed a similar attempt.", the Symbol of Evil replied to his protégé.

"Damnit… you're right, Sensei. The only thing worse than being a copycat is looking like one.", the hand villain grumbled.

"Hmm, yes I recall from the news that that group attempted to unleash a weapon that basically would've unleashed an effect similar to Trigger had the pros not put their plans to curtains. Such an act would be difficult to follow.", noted Compress.

"And they claimed to be doing it in the name of humanity. Even if they were planning to eliminate massive amounts of fake heroes, they'd be no better by calling themselves just as so.", said Spinner. He knew that the popular Quirk Doomsday theory had no substantial evidence. Everyone knew that.

He looked towards Twice and was about to ask if Toga would return soon, before deciding against it.

It was probably for the best.

The five-minute chime rang out, signaling everyone of the start of the next film.

"Let's hope we get to see more heroes die.", the decaying villain said with a wide grin as he and everyone else began to make their way to the Lobby.


Lobby

On his way to the Lobby, Midoriya noticed his childhood friend adorned with some fresh bandages wrapped around his head, arms, and some small patches on his cheeks and nose. He was also grumbling to himself, clearly not in the best of moods.

"Kacchan! Are you o-"

"Shut the hell up Deku! I'm fine!", the blond bomber barked back, startling the green-haired boy into silence.

"The last thing I need is that damn nerd's pity. How the hell did that old man do it?! ", Bakugo asked himself as he looked back on the simulated battles. Again and again, no matter how many times he tried attacking the Kingsman agent, he always managed to outmaneuver and subdue him. That damn umbrella even managed to hold up against his explosions! Even when he tried to take it out of the equation with an AP Shot, he still used some kind of trinket to end the fight.

Suddenly, Sweet Dream popped up floating near the blond bomber.

"Oof, you got banged up bad in the Danger Room, huh? Don't worry! I can make ya better!", he said with a smile that only got a growl from Bakugo in response. Before he could argue against it, the clown kid already held up his pen and clicked twice.

(click,click)

There was a puff of pink glittery smoke surrounding the explosive student. After waving it away and coughing, Bakugo was surprised to emerge bandage-free and injury-free.

"There we go!", the imaginary friend replied with a pleased grin.

"Don't give me your pity, you damn clown!", Bakugo yelled.

"You're welcome!", Sweet Dream answered back, the rude comment going over his head as he flew over the heads of several students heading to the lobby.

"I just needed some elbow room. If we weren't in that crappy small bar and were in a bigger, more open space instead, I would've nailed him!", Bakugo reasoned to himself, still displeased with the results from his efforts. Hopefully the next movie will take his mind off it. Maybe even offer up someone to fight with an actual quirk.

As everyone gathered at the Lobby after hearing the 5 minute chime, they noticed an addition at a nearby wall that seemed fairly recent. A truly bizarre and almost out of left field addition on top of that.

"Um… was that there before?", asked Sero as he pointed to it in a state of confusion that he wasn't alone in.

"I… don't think so.", replied Sato as his eyes followed everyone else's.

Planted right in front of a wall was what appeared to be a simple rectangular stage with a conjoined circular stage to its left. Draped around the circular stage were maroon curtains that obscured whatever stood on it from the sight of everyone. The idea of someone or something being behind that curtain was fairly intuitive to the onlookers as what stood on the main stage only gave weight to the idea.

There on the stage stood three animal-themed animatronics: a purple bunny with a red bow tie and a matching red toy Jackson King electric guitar in its paw-hands on the left and a yellow duck… or chicken… some kind of bird on the right donned with a bib that said the words "Let's Eat" written in English and a dish in its hand with a pink-frosted cupcake with cartoonish googly-eyes and a single candle resting on top of said dish.

Finally in the middle, front and center, stood a brown bear wearing a small black top hat, black bow tie, and held a faux microphone in its right paw hand.

The little Shimano child Katsuma was already standing in front of the stage, marveling at the fuzzy figures. His slightly older sister Mahoro was also by his side, trying to pry his attention away.

Suddenly, the curtain to the podium-like stage unveiled itself. Behind it stood a fourth figure, a fox that looked more worn and torn than those that stood beside it if its legs from the thighs down and left hand were any indication. It could also be said that it had some sort of pirate aesthetic, given the eyepatch covering its right eye and hook replacing its right hand.

The four total mascots moved robotically to some cheap music, mimicking an actual live concert performance.

"Huh, they're like robot animal mascots. Did you guys bring these for the children? Cause it was nice of you to make them something while we were watching the film.", Midnight noted.

"We did not.", The Executive stated as he, Daryl and Sweet Dream all stepped in front of the crowd and appeared to get into a defensive stance.

Midoriya realized these mascots must be dangerous if their host and his associates were responding like this. He then took off towards the Shimano kids, hoping to get them away before something happened to them.

"Deku!", Uraraka cried out.

"Midoriya! I don't think that's a good idea!", called out Yaoyarozu.

"Midoriya, get back here!", followed Aizawa. He understood the cautious nature the trio before them had taken alongside everyone else. He and the other staff members did their best to have everyone step back.

"Izuku Midoriya, I would advise you to refrain from making any physical contact with the children.", the tall man called out to the All For One user. It was to no avail as his protective instincts got him behind the pair.

"Come on, you too. We should stay away from them.", said Midoriya cautiously.

"Deku! Step away! From! The Stage!", Sweet Dream called out.

"It's not the kids in danger, kid! They won't harm little kids! It's everyone older than them at risk here!", Daryl called out.

The green-haired boy only heard that final part after laying a hand on each of the children's shoulders, turning his head toward the trio before returning his gaze back at the stage where he was met with a chilling sight.

The animatronics had all ceased the song and dance number abruptly and had turned their focus towards Midoriya, who had begun to step back with the Shimano children following his lead. They both then hurried behind the boy, believing he would shield him from the metal entertainers that suddenly didn't appear to be in a friendly mood anymore.

The four machines all began twitching, starting slow then growing rather violently with each passing second. The bear began to move, stepping off of the stage with his band mates following his lead. What happened next, everyone else there could only see it themselves in order to believe it.

Each of the mascots began to, what could only be described as, glitch. It was like something straight out of a computer or cheap video game but they all began to visually glitch and flicker. When the glitching stopped, they were all transformed to the point they may as well have been replaced completely.

Gone was the cute, fuzzy and approachable aesthetic they had possessed before and now they appeared to be possessed in a demonic sense. Wires and metal from their exposed endoskeletons gave off a semblance of the walking dead. Their fuzzy exteriors now appeared almost rotted and decrepit. Their fluffy hands gave way to pointy metal claws. Their comical and cartoonish teeth transformed into razor-sharp fangs.

But the most notable change had to be the eyes. Their endearing and goofy-looking eyes now nothing more than cold spheres of metal that shined a piercing blood red glow.

Before they looked like something you'd naturally find at a place to reserve a child's birthday party that makes dreams come true. Now they appeared nightmarish, like they had crawled out of hell itself.

The bear looked the most disturbing, having small twisted plushie versions of itself clinging to the main body like rotten fruit or boils. It then gave off a roar that sounded metallic and animalistic at the same time, like some beast thrown into a torture machine.

"GRRRRAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!"

The bear immediately charged, it's sights set on Midoriya, who had become frozen in place with fear. However, he still remained in a shielding position in front of the Shimano children, refusing to leave their side.

(WHAM!)

At the last second before the bear could take its final step towards the green-haired boy, a gloved fist had struck the metal monstrosity's face and sending it flying back to its brethren.

Midoriya looked up and was met with The Executive's blank shadowed expression. The slender figure gently put a hand on the shoulder of the hero-in-training as he stepped past the teen and children.

"Your safety is our highest priority. The status of the theater is only second to that.", the tall man said as Midoriya and the Shimano kids watched him in awe. The three soon rejoined the crowd of heroes, students, and villains as the trio stood between them and the ravenous mascots.

"We should have some music for this!", Sweet Dream said cheerily out of the blue.

"No, no we don't.", said Daryl, wanting to just get this over with.

"That is entirely unnecessary.", said The Executive.

"Too late!", the clown boy responded with a smile as he clicked his glittery pen twice.

(click,click)

(Beautiful Life by Ace of Base stars playing 0:00-0:15)

"Dammit, I… guess we're doing this.", Daryl sighed.

He clicked his office pen twice, causing it to grow in size until he wielded it like a baseball bat. Or a two-handed sword.

Sweet Dream clicked his glitter pen twice again, only this time twisting his grip until he was pointing it at the beasts like a wizard's wand, the tip glowing magenta light at the end.

Finally The Executive clicked his ornate metal pen, which made his grow and lengthen like Daryl's. However, he held his pen like a baton, outstretched to the side right-handed while his other arm was folded neatly behind his back with a clenched fist.

"Sweet Dream, restrain Bonnie and Chica. Daryl, subdue Foxy. I shall apprehend Freddy.", said The Executive, calling out his orders to his associates and getting an "alright" from Daryl and an "OK!" from a more than excited Sweet Dream.

(0:15-0:23)

The monstrous machines all hissed, roared, swiped their claws and snapped their jaws at the trio and the crowd behind them, who could only watch the event unfold in front of them.

The odd trio and the nightmarish quartet both charged at each other as the battle began.

(0:23-3:40)

Sweet Dream blasted the bunny and chicken-duck thing(presumably Bonnie and Chica) with bouts of glittery purple energy from his wand, causing the two to be momentarily stunned. He rushed forward and knocked both bots back with a spread-eagle drop kick, both feet pushing off each one's chest.

The clown boy then twirled past them and stretched and wrapped both of his legs around the rabbit and chicken-duck. Both of their arms were pinned to their sides as they writhed on the floor, the floating clown kid visibly struggling to keep them at bay.

Foxy charged at Daryl, who responded with his pen-bat blocking and intercepting a bite from the pirate fox. It kept biting like a rabid dog as Daryl pushed back, eventually gaining some distance with a firm kick to its chest.

Foxy slowed down its momentum from the kick with its hook, its scrape on the floor creating sparks as it came to a stop and rushed again on all fours, minus the now-raised hook hand. Daryl was then able to land a well timed hit to the side of Foxy's head, causing it to stumble a bit before getting back upright.

The freakish fox began to swing both its claw and hook at Daryl, to which the office worker was barely able to block each hit. More sparks flew with each parry until Foxy lost its patience and rushed snout-first.

Both were soon locked in place with Foxy clamping his jaws onto Daryl's weapon, all while the average man did his best to avoid the swipes from the fox's claw and hook.

Freddy charged at The Executive with several claw swipes. Left and right, horizontal and diagonal, the bear showed no mercy. And yet the tall suites man dodged and weaved around each swipe seamlessly as if it was child's play to him.

He waited until he saw an opening, then delivered a quick elbow jab to the beast's abdomen, following it up with a pen-baton swing across its face.

Freddy then decided to change tactics. After crossing both its arms across its chest, the bear thrust its chest forward, sending the warped mini plushies of itself into the air and hurtling towards the crowd.

Many of the adults and teens braced themselves for the oncoming clumps of gnashing teeth and twisted metal. That is until they heard a familiar volley of gunfire.

(PEW,PEW,PEW)

Those that covered their eyes and faces lowered their arms to find The Executive, shock pistol in his other hand raised in the air. The gun still had smoke from its discharge.

Freddy took the opportunity to grab the distracted opponent, hoist him over his head and slam him into the ground. The floor beneath The Executive cracked yet the tall man showed no sign of any injury, instead aiming his gun and letting loose laser after laser at the bear. The animatronic was forced to step back a few paces.

After another three shots from the gun, he pocketed the weapon, gave a good few smacks with his baton followed by a left-hook that left a sizable dent on Freddy's face. The bear was beginning to slow down from the assault.

The Executive stashed his pen-baton away and began to fly up into the air, hoisting up Freddy by the armpits. After tossing the bear up a little, he delivered a final haymaker that caused the bear to crash-land upon impact.

(Beautiful Life by Ace of Base stops playing)

Back with Daryl and Sweet Dream, the two were having a little more difficulty with their foes.

"Sweet Dream! Could really use a spell right about now!", the average man called out to his associate, still fending off Foxy.

"Sure thing!", the clown kid said. He had resorted to using his free hand to catch Chica's cupcake after it attempted to flee and go after the crowd, leaving him with only his pen-wand hand. He pointed it at his stil wriggling captives.

"Zetta-!"

"No! No Zetta spells! This theater won't be able to handle that output of power! We're trying to fix it up, not blow it up!", Daryl cried out. After thinking for a moment, he thought of a safer alternative.

"I got it! Use that one floaty spell, from that wizard school world!"

"Can do!", gleamed the clown boy as he began to recite the spell.

"Wingardium LevioSA!"

Nothing happened.

"Nothing happened!", Sweet Dream called out.

"That wasn't it!"

"That was the spell! You told me to say the spell! I said the spell!"

"No! You didn't say it right! You're putting too much emphasis on the end! It's LeviOsa, not LevioSA!", Daryl corrected, still wrestling with Foxy clamped onto his weapon.

"Are they really having this conversation right now?", many of the students, teachers and villains thought to themselves unanimously.

"Fine! Wingardium LeviOsa!", Sweet Dream huffed. Soon, Bonnie, Chica and the cupcake all began floating in the air. With the clown kid's limbs still tied to them all, they looked like a strange kind of parade float.

"Alright, let's wrap this up. Over here, Sweet Dream!", Daryl called out. The clown kid understood the next move as he then swung his limbs with the animatronics towards Foxy like a wrecking ball, narrowingly missing Daryl as he stepped back.

The three animatronics crumpled in a heap that was soon joined by Freddy after being thrown onto it by The Executive.

"Heads up!", yelled Sweet Dream as he pitched the still chomping cupcake at Daryl like a baseball pitcher. And just like baseball, Daryl swung his pen-bat and gave a solid whack to the pesky pastry. It landed right on the pile of metal, broken beyond movement.

Midoriya couldn't help but feel astonished at the three and how they handled the situation. He immediately got to work in updating their pages in his notebook from the moves, abilities and weapons they demonstrated. His mind was racing at a million miles a minute.

Uraraka looked at the sight in awe and wondered to herself. "He used some kind of thing that's like my Quirk. I wonder if I could make a move like that back home."

"Holy crap, that was amazing!", shouted Kirishima. Even if he couldn't help out as much as he wanted to, he was glad their host and his friends weren't roughed up too bad.

"Hmm…impressive.", said All For One. He knew Kiddo had to be capable of combat given how he had left everyone beforehand, but he didn't think these fools would be just as capable.

"Hmph…they barely got a scratch on them.", growled Shigaraki in disappointment. He was hoping to at least see these unexpected encounters leave some kind of mark. He mentally blamed the clown kid after seeing him make any marks they received vanish in a puff of pink glitter smoke.

The trio looked down upon the defeated heap of scrap that was once the four animatronics.

"So what'll it be: burn or return? Cause I'm going with burn.", asked Daryl.

"Burn!", Sweet Dream said cheerily.

"Very well. There appears to be no harm or risk of inter-dimensional discord with their disposal.", said The Executive as all three held up their pens as wands, pointed at the scrap heap and torched the metal, incinerating the mad machinations.

The detective spoke up once the metal was reduced to ash.

"You knew their names… what in god's name were those things?!", Naomasa asked.

"These were malevolent entities that entered through a breach in the theater from the Abstract Void outside. It appears that the Doomsday Theater's destabilized state has escalated far past simple anomalies. The destabilization has caused entities from across the Multiverse and greater Omniverse to be pulled in through emerging breaches via the Abstract Void.", The Executive explained.

"I think they're asking who the nightmare mascots were.", said Sweet Dream as he floated slightly above the tall man's shoulder.

Daryl looked down at the smoking remains in pity and slight disgust. He then looked back towards the detective and the rest of the group.

"They're the products of a madman by the name of William Afton. We've seen their file and it's this whole complicated and borderline convoluted story involving grief, envy, fury, agony, immortality, restless spirits and child murder. Like a LOT of child murder."

Many of the heroes and students were horrified from such a summary, understanding the average man's look of disdain towards the remnants. The villains (a majority at least)couldn't help but share the sentiment.

"Immortality, you say?", asked All For One, whose curiosity was peaked at the prospect.

"Don't even think about it!", called out Daryl. He already had some longevity Quirk. He and his quack of a doctor did not need to be experimenting with this.

"My main responsibility is still to ensure the safety of everyone present. As long as my associates accompany me, that shall be their main responsibility as well.", the tall man replied.

"Yeah! Whatever creeps or characters come through any breach, the three of us will deal with it. The Executive will have this place patched up in no time.", said Sweet Dream

"In the meantime, we'll just keep things going as planned. You've all got nothing to worry about.", said Daryl.

A cracking sound was soon heard from the ceiling. It was then followed by a lot of what at first appeared to be some kind of brown dirt pouring out of a hole from the ceiling, a miniature mountain forming from the hole.

The crowd looked towards the trio with skeptical and sweat-dropped expressions.

"Uhhh… we can fix that.", Daryl responded with a straight face, pointing at the newest mess.

One of the small pieces of this mountain soon rolled towards Midoriya, catching his attention as his foot had unintentionally stopped its momentum. He crouched down and picked up the piece.

"Is this… a Cheerio?", he wondered aloud. In his pinched fingers and upon closer inspection, it was indeed a small oat circle.

"Oooooh~", said Sweet Dream as he then air-slithered towards the cereal pile. He first flew up before finally corkscrewing straight down into the heap without any second thought.

"So… the ceiling's leaking cereal? Ok… and here I thought I'd seen it all in my career.", said All Might as he scratched his head.

"Those three or at least Daryl and The Executive better have this cleaned up.", Aizawa grumbled, pinching his nose as he felt a new headache coming on. Hopefully the next film could ease his mind.

"Let us all enter the screening room. The next film is about to begin.", said The Executive. Daryl was about to agree before he looked back at the mountain of Cheerios and did a double-take.

"Hey, Sweet Dream! Get out of the cereal.", Daryl called out to the clown boy.

"I'm making cereal angels!", he responded, doing exactly what he said he was doing.

"You and the rest of the little kids are watching this next one with us.", said Daryl.

"REALLY!? Ok I'm coming!!!", said Sweet Dream, immediately jumping up and flying over in a zig-zag pattern and straight into the screening room.

The four young children were just as happy to hear that news, not wanting to miss out on two movies in a row. They all walked alongside their guardians towards the screening room doors.


After getting over the initial shock of the battle that had transpired, everyone soon headed into the screening room. Midoriya and his friends soon caught sight of the title of the next film above the door.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish(2022)

"Puss in Boots? A cat-themed hero?", wondered the One For All user aloud.

"Hmm, I could've sworn I've heard that name before but I can't remember where…", noted Momo, trying her best to rack her brain of where she had her such a moniker.

"Ok, but what could this 'Last Wish' be?", asked Todoroki.

"Maybe it's a last request from someone dying, although I hope it's nothing THAT grim.", said Uraraka, who hoped they would be watching something a little more lighthearted after the intensity of Kingsman. The youngest children accompanying them for this film was a good sign to the gravity girl.

"Perhaps it refers to something pivotal to the plot of this next film.", speculated Iida, cupping his chin.

Meanwhile, the members of the Wild Wild Pussycats couldn't help but have their interests piqued from the title and the theorizing of the greenette.

"Oooooh, a cat-themed hero? Sounds like we're about to see a potential replacement for you Ragdoll.", teased Pixie-Bob in a playful manner.

"Wha…?", asked a slightly anxious Ragdoll.

"Ryuko…",Tiger said disapprovingly, nudging her teammate with her elbow.

"What? I was just kidding! Besides, it wouldn't hurt to see a new cat hero in action!", the blond Pussycat admitted.

"Don't worry Tomoko, no one could replace you. Even if you're without your quirk now, you're still a valued member of the team.", Mandalay reassured their teammate who breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Though Ragdoll herself was also quite curious if they were really about to see a cat-themed hero and if they could really be of help for their team. Even if she had been relegated to a desk job due to the loss of her Quirk, it would be reassuring to know that their team could have a viable field operative that was more than capable.

"It's okay. We could be short-handed back in our world when searching for people. Maybe this could be a sort of audition for us.", Tomoko replied to her teammates, able to save face by making light of the situation.


The lobby was soon enveloped with a lulling and eerie silence. There would still be work done, adjustments made from The Executive via his clipboard during the film but aside from the additions that come with each movie, nothing too drastic from Kiddo's original design. He had his orders.

When Sweet Dream had flown away from the mountain of Cheerios, he had left a slight trail that had shaken off of him mid-flight leading to the Screening Room.

What no one had noticed however, was a second trail stemming from the cereal mountain and away from it that had lead in the opposite direction into the rest of the Doomsday Theater.


Author's Note

Sorry for the wait, wanted to really stick out from the rest.

For those that are wondering, yes that was Babyshark from Pinkfong. Just got sick of hearing it everywhere in real life and had to vent it somehow. I know I'm not the only one.

Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy are from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise who were created and owned by Scott Cawthon. Originally appearing in their FNAF 1 design, they transformed into their FNAF 4 Nightmare models. I wanted to include them as a shoutout to celebrate their upcoming movie this October in 2023.

The "Zetta-spells" are from the Final Fantasy series in which the most powerful spells have Greek Prefixes.

Wingardium Leviosa is a spell within the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, famous(or infamous) for a memed-to-death scene in the movies.

Also for those that are wondering if I'll do the Spider-Man movies, I feel like those will have to be a separate reaction series of its own. I could do it but I also want to give someone else the chance to tackle it on too. Especially with all of the other story ideas I've got already. If I had to do it though, I'd go with the Raimi trilogy first, then the Web duo, then Venom and finally end it off with Into The Spiderverse. In that order. Save Let There Be Carnage for before No Way Home and Across The Spiderverse for AFTER No Way Home, both of which won't be until AFTER Phase 3.

The same for the Dark Knight Trilogy and Batman movies, the X-Men/Mutant movies like Deadpool and any too interconnected DCEU movies. I'll leave them for anyone else to go for it. If I had to go for anything from either Marvel or DC, it'd have to be something really standalone. Anything else is fair game comic book movie wise.

I've got a list down and I hoping to keep everyone guessing on what movie will come next. It's gonna be long but I hope to get this all down. Starting out, I thought each movie would just take a month but with a decrease of reliable workers at my job, it's going to take a LOT longer than that.

And who knows? If Kiddoisthebest ever finishes Phase 2, I might ask to do a new one for between Phase 2 and 3 with a whole new list of movies.

I'd title it, The Executive Reports: MHA Cast Reacts to Miscellaneous Movies Doc.2

That is, if I'm not busy with my other non-reaction stories.

Just hang in there, wish me luck and see you guys next time.
