It was another fine day at Neo-City as we head towards the Training Camp. Both heroes and trainees are currently at the training area keeping their skills and physique in check.
We see Randy Cunningham, Rex Salazar, Nicco Bondarev and Tucker Noble running on tires spread across the floor on a straight line, we see Zoro Roronoa lifting a ten plated barbel using his feet with Usopp riding an exercise bike behind him, Cerebella is seen practicing on a tall gymnastics bar with Lan Fan and Mina Ashido watching her while waiting for their turn. Lyndel Flamburge is seen busy jumping ropes while we see Taro Yamada doing a rope workout to improve the strength of his muscles.
We then see Haru Glory, Red, Leon Kuwata and Mondo Oowada running around the tracks as they passes-by Regan Bladeworks, Erena Reese and Maya Sparrow doing a yoga workout. At the other side of the training area, we see Brent Dark, Duncan Nelson and Andres "Singko" Alvarez throwing medballs across the field while we see Erza Scarlet, Kagura Mikazuchi and Ichigo Kurosaki busy developing their sword skills using kendo sticks.
Chris Pearson is seen punching a red punching bag on all sides and just a few inches away from him is Jake Long whom is doing a sit-up. Meanwhile we see Arinah, Eustace Bagge, Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Wesley Bryans and Mato Kuroi running through an obstacle course with Arinah & Eustace leading the group as they passes-by Danny Fenton and Erika Kurumi with the former doing a push-up and a latter doing a jumping jacks.
As this is going on, we see Sylvia van Hossen and a very small, young woman entering the training area. The girl, like stated before is very small, has a long brown hair with two braided locks, she has green eyes hidden behind her dark-sunglasses. She wears a a black button yet open jacket over a white turtlenecked crop top, black tight pants with brown strapped belt, brown boots and a black beret. She also wears a necklace with a blue diamond drop around her neck. This is Raya Amanda.

"Hey, Sylvia. After today's training, I suggest that we go to the mall and relax.'' Raya suggested with a grin.
Sylvia eyed her suspiciously, "I'm pretty sure that your style of relaxing is shopping for new clothes." she pointed out.
Raya let's out a laugh, "You got that right!" she admitted, "I have a lot of untouched money from my account that I got from modelling and I guess it's about time to use it.'' she stated.
"Just don't spend too much." Sylvia reminded, "Then again... your money account hasn't been touched for long time, so I guess you won't have any problem for any shortage.'' she stated.
"So are you coming?'' Raya asked.
Sylvia let's out a sigh before smiling, "Sure... why not." she replied.
Raya giggled, "Now... all we need is to find a guy who can be our pack mule." she mused.
The two girls then approaches four boys sitting on the bleachers having a conversation. The first boy has an average height with a medium-length grayish-white hair, silver-gray eyes and an unusual red scar on the left side of his face. He wears a white polo shirt with red tie, black pants, dark boots and a black latex gloves on his right hand. This is Allen Walker.

He wears a black long-coat with white linings, white pants which is tucked inside a pair of brown boots and a long orange scarf wrapped around his neck. This is Lavi.

"Hey boys." Raya greeted with a flirtatious voice.
The boys turns to her and Sylvia, "Hey, Raya. Hey, Sylvia." Chad greeted with a flirtatious grin, "What can we do for you, beautiful ladies?'' he asked flexing his muscles, making Sylvia rolls her eyes.
"Well boys... Sylvia and I are going to the mall after training.'' Raya replied as she leaned towards Duncan, she then tips her sunglasses down as he gave her a flirtatious look, "So, how about it, handsome? Wanna join us?" she asked.
Duncan let's out a nervous smile, "Uh, yeah... sure. I don't mind." he replied.
"If Duncan is coming, I'm coming as well." Chad replied with a grin as he turns to Allen and Lavi, "How about you, boys?'' he asked.
Allen and Lavi looks at each other, they knew that if they went along with them, Raya is gonna use them to carry her bags and while Duncan and Chad won't mind doing it, these two aren't fond being used as a pack mule.
Allen shook his head, "Nah... thanks. Lavi and I had plans with Bud and Tomomichi tonight." he replied.
"We're having a guy's night." Lavi added.
Chad shrugs his shoulders, "Your loss.'' he said, "Good-luck with whatever nerd game that you're playing tonight.'' he stated earning him glares from the two exorcists.
Raya claps her hands, "Welp! That settles it!" she said with a smile, "We meet at the mall at six!" she instructed, "Of course, we need to shower first after a long day of training.'' she reminded when suddenly Alden Cole bumps onto her which nearly trips her.
"Whoops! Sorry about that, shortstack." Alden said rubbing the back of his head.
Everyone within hearing range froze on their tracks when Alden said that, not more so than Raya herself. She can shrug off getting bump accidentally but calling her short... made her blood boil.
Raya slowly turns to her with an angry look, "What... did you call me?!" she demanded.
Alden looks at her with a smile, completely oblivious to her angry expression, "Oh, shortstack! Well, you're really short, so I decided to call you that." he said making her more angrier, "You wouldn't mind if I call shortstack for now on?'' he asked while Sylvia, Duncan, Chad, Allen and Lavi are waving their hands trying to tell him to stop talking. Alden noticed the frown on Raya's face, "Oh! You don't like that. Okay... then how about little girl, short stuff, pipsqueak, small fry...'' he suggested one by one as Raya gritted her teeth, "Oh! Oh! I know! Squirt!" he exclaimed with excitement.
And with that... Raya snapped.
The next thing everyone knew, Alden is seen running out of the training area with fear written on his face as an angry Raya chases after him with a machine gun in hand.
"AAAAHHH!" Alden screamed like a girl.
"Get back here you son of a bitch!" Raya demanded as she fires her gun at him.
Meanwhile at the training area's entrance doorway, Sylvia, Duncan, Chad, Allen and Lavi peaks their heads out.
Sylvia let's out a sigh of disbelief, "Just how insensitive Alden can be!" she muttered.
"Come on guys.'' Duncan called out, "I don't like Alden but we need to stop Raya from hurting him.'' he suggested.

Alden getting chased by an angry Raya caused a huge panic in the place as in one hallway we see Gelman, Luluco, Nora Valkyrie and Liz Thompson ran across the halls as gun shots were heard. We then see Alden running out from one corner with an angry Raya right on his tail as Alden then began to throw objects that he comes across towards Raya in hopes of getting her to stop but to no avail.
At one intersection, we see Black Star running straight ahead with Colette Brunel and Marta Lualdi following him, then Vegeta, Gray Fullbuster and Anna Maymorie ran to the right hallway while Travis Touchdown and Ochako Uraraka runs towards the left hallway. We then see Dac running straight ahead while carrying a washing machine above his head, then Alden came into view as he looks around before ducking down as more shots were fired at him as he ran towards the left hallway with Raya right behind him.
The two then ran back in the training area where Raya chased after Alden through an obstacle course, running over drums, jumping only ledges, dodging swinging logs and climbing on nets. Major Richard Stronghold witnessed this with a smile as he began to write something on his clipboard.
Alden then ran outside through the front entrance passing-by Izuku Midoriya and Tenya Iida, Alden tried to run towards a corner when Raya suddenly appears out of nowhere and blocks his way, much to his horror.
"Time to die!" Raya exclaimed aiming her weapon at him.
"No! Please! Have mercy! I've done you no wrong!" Alden cried in panic.
Raya then fires around round of bullets towards Alden but fortunately for the scumbag, someone grabs and took him up in the air before the bullets could hit him.
Alden looks up to see his savior, it was a young man with a scaly orange skin tone and has a large dragon winds, spiky blonde hair and bright yellow eyes. He let's out a breathe of relief, "Thanks for the save, Duncan.'' he said with a smile.
"I didn't do this for you, Alden. I did this because I don't want Raya to do something stupid that she'll regret for the rest of her life." Duncan replied.
Raya was about to fire a shot at them when she realized that she can't move, she looks down and noticed a long shadow connected to her, she turns her head to see Shikamaru Nara using his shadow to restrain her.
Sylvia then ran towards her, "Raya! That's enough!" she said, "You need to stop before you cause any more damages." she stated as Raya calms down.
Chad, Allen and Lavi walks towards Shikamaru, "Thanks for the assist, Shikamaru.'' Lavi said in gratitude.
"Whatever." Shikamaru replied, "So, troublesome." he grumbled.
Duncan then flew down and placed Alden back on the ground, "I hope you learn something from this, Alden.'' Duncan chastised.
"What did I do?'' Alden asked.
"You called her 'short'?!" Duncan exclaimed.
"So?'' Alden asked again as he is still oblivious to his fault.
"Raya is very sensitive about her height!" Duncan exclaimed, "She gets angry whenever someone mocks her height or calls her out for it." he explained in hopes that Alden would realized his faults.
"I don't see anything wrong with that.'' Alden replied with a raised eyebrow, much to Duncan's frustration.
Chad smashed his fist together, "This guy seriously needs someone to knock some sense to him!" he exclaimed in irritation with Allen nodding in agreement.
Sylvia then spoke, "Wait guys! As much as I want to see you pound this moron." she admitted, "But I had a better punishment for him.'' she said with a smile.
bzzzttt...
Later that night at the mall, we see Raya and Sylvia coming out from a clothing store followed by Alden whom is carrying tons of bags and boxes that goes all the way up to the ceiling.
"Onward mule! We still got eighteen stores to visit!" Raya exclaimed with a grin.
Alden peeks an eye out behind the boxes that he is carrying, "Eighteen stores?'' he said in horror.
The three continues to walk forward when they come across Duncan, Chad, Lavi and Allen in front of a hotdog stand, "Hey girls!" Chad greeted, "How is shopping?'' he asked with a grin as Duncan took a bite of his hotdog.
Raya let's out a snort, "Well I'm having fun.'' she replied, "I bought a lot of new clothes and accessories!" she claimed, "But I'm done done shopping yet.'' she said as she walks away.
"We'll see you later in the movie theater, boys.'' Sylvia said following Raya and then by Alden.
"Hey, Alden.'' Chad called getting his attention, "Having fun?'' he asked before he and the guys burst out laughing.
Alden grumbles in reply until he trips over nothing causing him to fall down with dozens of bags and boxes dog-pilling on top of him, effectively burying him alive. Everyone at the mall saw this and began to laugh at him, Alden stuck his head out of the pile with an irritated look as an iris-out closes on his face, "It's not my fault, she's so short." he said as the iris-out closes on him, ending the story.
