Suddenly, the glass on Luna's mirror cracked abruptly into tiny pieces.

Luna breathed heavily as she stared at her semi-reflection of the mirror with wide eyes. She then turned to the door when Katsuki quickly opened the door with a frantic look on his face.

"Luna, what happened…?" Katsuki asked.

But Luna couldn't respond when she was started to collapse unconscious on her bed.

Katsuki ran up and placed his hand on Luna's forehead, seeing that the triquetra mark has slowly disappeared.

"Don't worry, Luna. I've got you." Katsuki said.

The next day, Luna sat in front of a puzzled Tarot Chariot and explained about her last night's dream inside her mother's card dimension.

"I see." Tarot Chariot said. "This is not good. If my mother contacted you, she'll do anything to convince you to join her side by any means necessary."

"I know." Luna said. "No doubt Carina was the only one who told her about my familial connection to you. Has she always been aggressively violent?"

"You have no idea. She always solves her problem that way." Tarot Chariot said. She let out a devious smirk on her face. "And I assume you told Bakugo when he stayed the night in your room?"

"I did! And no, it was nothing like that!" Luna exclaimed with a red blushing face.

[Flashback]

"So, how are you feeling after last night?" Katsuki asked.

On a sunny morning, Katsuki was sitting on the bed next to Luna, who leaned her head against his shoulder. Earlier, Luna explained her dream last night to Katsuki.

"I feel fine, but still cautious about my Quirk though." Luna responded. "Thanks for keeping me company."

"Sure, no problem." Katsuki said. "I can't believe you unleash your Quirk in your sleep."

"I know." Luna said. "To unleash that power in my sleep is scary, but meeting my all-evil grandmother…terrifying."

[Flashback Ends]

"Anyway, we may not know Oriana's true motives she has for you, but we will get stronger and prepare for anything together." Tarot Chariot said.

Luna nodded her head in agreement.

Then suddenly, one of Tarot Chariot's Magic Cards started vibrating from her hat.

"Heh, I wonder who that could be." Tarot Chariot wondered as she took out her vibrating Magic Card out of her hat.

As Tarot Chariot tossed her Magic Card in the air, it enlarged itself into a video screen with an image of Morganite on it.

"Hiya, Ursula!" Morganite greeted with a smile. She noticed her goddaughter's presence. "Hiya, Luna!"

"Hiya, Morganite!" Luna greeted back.

"Hello, Morganite. What's new?" Tarot Chariot asked.

"Eraser Head contacted me about a combat training exercise happening today at U.A. When he told me about me that Class 1-A has more students than Class 1-B, I told him to add four new sidekicks that I've recruited to join Class B with Shinso on his side." Morganite explained.

"Shinso?" Luna repeated.

"You mean that brainwashing boy who fought Midoriya from the Sports Festival?" Tarot Chariot asked Luna.

"Yup, that's him." Luna replied. She looked up at Morganite. "Would that three of your sidekicks happen to be Estrella, Solaria, and Celena by any chance?"

"Not exactly." Morganite answered. "Those girls are on standby for a moment. Your mother's new sidekicks are the Shiroibara sisters. Their Quirk demonstrations along with their speed and strength prowess are incredible to my standards. I'm sending them to U.A. as a test for them to work in our agency."

"Sounds sensible." Tarot Chariot said.

"Get ready, Luna." Morganite said to Luna. "Eraser Head will meet you and the rest of your class in Ground Gamma today. Have fun."

Meanwhile, Aisha returned to U.A. High. She was praised by Eraser Head and Principal Nezu for aiding Endeavor and defeating Zircon while saving all those people on the news. After that, Aisha changed into hero costume and flew her way to Ground Gamma, where all Class 1-A students assembled together in their winter hero costumes.

As Aisha landed towards them, Mina immediately noticed her arrival.

"Aisha!" Mina shouted.

Mina ran up to Aisha and hugged her tightly.

"Whoa, Ashido." Aisha said with a smile.

Then, the rest of the female students tackled Aisha to the ground as they nuzzled her in a hug.

"We're so glad you're okay!" Hagakure exclaimed.

"That fight was insane!" Tsuyu exclaimed.

"You wouldn't believe how worried we were!" Selene added.

"The way you saved all those people was incredible!" Diana grinned.

"Not only that, but that level of power was plus ultra indeed!" Jiro added.

"You were awesome!" Uraraka said.

"We're proud of you, Aisha!" Yaoyorozu smiled.

"Sato even made chocolate cake last night just for you." Luna said.

"Aww, thanks, girls!" Aisha smiled.

"Alright, ladies!" Iida said. "I know we're all glad to see Aisha, but we have focus on today's exercise!"

Aisha enveloped herself and her female classmates in psychokinetic aura, levitating everyone and herself on their feet. She then noticed that her entire class's costume changes for the winter season.

"I can't believe we're already back at it! Aren't you excited?" Hagakure cheered as she started to dance around.

"Don't you get cold like that, Hagakure?" Jiro asked.

"Yeah, I'm freezing." Hagakure responded.

"But you got guts." Jiro commented.

"How about my winter outfit? Isn't it like super cute?" Mina asked as she showed off her winter hero costume.

Mina's winter hero costume was replaced by a slightly longer waistcoat with thicker, wider fur reaching her chin joined in the center by two clasps and sleeves down to her elbows.

"It's lovely." Yaoyorozu said.

Yaoyorozu's winter hero costume was equipped with a long high-collared red cape that has a ring going around her neck with a large gemstone at her throat.

"I hadn't realized that the temperature had dropped so much." Ojiro said.

Ojiro's winter hero costume added a large coat to his hero costume along with sand blue fingerless gloves.

Iida looked around to see almost half of his classmates have their hero costumes changed to suit the winter environment. Tsuyu's winter hero costume was equipped with a ring around her neck with two yellow bubble-shaped objects just above her shoulders and her goggles that are newly fitted with a visor. Hagakure's winter hero costume includes plain knee-high boots and slightly thicker-looking gloves with a different color scheme and design.

"All of our costumes have undergone considerable transformation since the year begun." Iida pointed out.

"It's crazy how you managed to get through the summer in all that getup, Iida." Sato stated.

Aisha walked up to Selene, Luna, and Diana. While Diana's and Aisha's hero costumes has no requirable winter adjustments, Luna's winter hero costume added rose pink fur cuffs around her jacket cuffs and Selene's winter hero costume was equipped with translucent midnight blue sleeves that has scattered star-shaped crystals.

"Wow. Nice sleeves, Selene." Aisha commented.

"Yeah, it really spells dazzling." Diana commented.

"Oh, heh, thank you. I'm particularly excited about the sleeves." Selene said. "It was my mother's idea."

Luna turned her head to see Katsuki walking down to the crowd with Kirishima and Kaminari. Katsuki's winter hero costume includes a large jacket with a high collar that has an orange "X" design across the middle.

"You've got a new look too, Kacchan!" Izuku spoke with a smile.

"Huh?! Got a problem with it?! Then say it to my face, you damn nerd!" Katsuki yelled irritatingly.

"Your costume must guard you against the cold and generate heat, right? Since your sweat glands are part of your Quirk, it makes sense! What a modification!" Izuku complimented.

"I don't want your praise either!" Katsuki yelled again.

"Midoriya's right, you know. It's a really clever adjustment indeed." Luna concurred as she walked up to Katsuki and observed her boyfriend's winter hero costume.

"I see your costume hasn't changed much, except for the cuffs." Katsuki pointed out as he noticed the rose-pink fur cuffs around Luna's jacket cuffs.

"Eh, I hardly ever notice the cold sometimes." Luna replied. "Plus, my mom thought adding these cuffs will look my costume much more fashionable."

"Look who we have here, relaxed and full of yourselves as always obviously you underestimate us!"

All Class 1-A students turned their attention to the source of that familiar voice and saw Monoma and his Class 1-B classmates strolling in the area from the distance.

"Oh, no…" Diana and Aisha groaned.

"There you are. We've been looking forward to this." Kirishima greeted.

"Is that so? I'm not sure why. There's no way you stand a chance against us in this exercise." Monoma argued. "Come on, Class A. Let's see who's best once and for all!"

Then, Monoma presented a piece of paper to Class 1-A. The paper displayed results of a two-vote preference for Class 1-B's performance in the School Festival over Class 1-A's performance.

"You might want to take a closer look at this survey. I took it at the festival and it's enlightening. I asked what was better: Class A's pathetic attempt at being rock stars or Class B's obviously superior play? Oh, what's this? We won by two votes. You guys have been hogging the spotlight ever since we started school, but you're standing around camp as his trash!" Monoma shouted tauntingly.

Monoma laughed crazily in a lunatic manner while Kirishima and his classmates observed the two-vote results closely.

"Seriously, did we really did poorly at the festival?" Kirishima said in surprise.

"Don't listen to him, guys." Diana said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "He's just jealous like always. I mean, seriously, talk about a pathetic superiority complex."

"Say what you want! But, finally, it's Class A versus Class B! Our first joint combat training!" Monoma yelled.

Monoma laughed madly. Kendo moved up to scold his crazed classmate with a knee chop, but Eraser Head beated her to it when he strangled Monoma with his cloth scarf.

"That's enough." Aizawa ordered.

Thanks, Mr. Aizawa. Aisha and Diana thought.

"Today, there will be five special participants!" Vlad King announced.

"Please try not to embarrass yourselves if at all possible." Aizawa added.

"Who's going to be joining us?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"I'll murder them." Bakugo said.

"Is it a babe?" Kaminari asked.

"We'll do our best whoever it is." Kirishima and Tetsutetsu said.

"This person is interested in switching to the hero track." Aizawa announced.

Five people stepped forward in front of Class 1-A and Class 1-B.

Izuku reacted with a happy smile while Ojiro reacted with a shocking expression when they immediately recognized one of the special participants as Hitoshi Shinso. His hero costume consists of a long-sleeved winter version of the U.A. PE uniform with a white marking framed by a red line on each sleeve, a detachable black mask-like device over his mouth, a capturing weapon that is similar to Eraser Head's around his neck, and a pair of green and white sneakers.

Luna, on the other hand, was smiling happily to see her godmother's sidekicks. The oldest sister has tan skin, long raven-black hair, and dark brown eyes. She wore a sleeveless, backless high cut midnight blue leotard with neon blue hems and matching thigh-high midnight blue boots. She also has a blue visor with silver ear coverings, black fingerless gloves, and round silver shoulder pads. The second oldest sister has olive skin, straight lush black hair reaching her thighs tied in a high ponytail with a golden snake-shaped metallic band, brown eyes. She wore a sleeveless, backless high cut dark maroon leotard with neon red hems and matching thigh-high dark maroon boots. She also has a red visor with silver ear coverings, black fingerless gloves, and round silver shoulder pads. The second youngest sister has fair skin, long brown hair tied in a low ponytail with a violet ribbon, and hazel eyes. She wore a sleeveless, backless high cut dark purple leotard with neon purple hems and matching thigh-high dark purple boots. She also has a purple visor with silver ear coverings, black fingerless gloves, and round silver shoulder pads. And the youngest sister has fair skin, long bright red hair, and deep aqua blue eyes. She wore a sleeveless, backless high cut dark tangerine leotard with neon orange hems and matching thigh-high dark tangerine boots. She also has an orange visor with silver ear coverings, black fingerless gloves, and round silver shoulder pads.

"For General studies from Class C, Hitoshi Shinso." Aizawa said. "And Morganite's newest sidekicks: the Shiroibara Quartet. They will be joining in on your training. They're hoping to be one of you so treat them as you would any classmate."

"He mentioned that before the sports festival." Midoriya recalled.

"Uh, is that one of Mr. Aizawa's capture scarves?" Fukidashi asked.

"The mask looks special too." Komori added.

"Welcome to the fight!" Tetsutetsu greeted.

"You'll be brainwashed if you talk to him." Aoyama warned.

"A powerful Quirk." Ojiro added.

"Wait one sec. Midoriya got brainwashed once, but he snapped out of it." Mineta recalled.

"That's true." Selene concurred.

The youngest Shiroibara sister flipped herself over to Luna.

"Hiya!" The youngest Shiroibara sister greeted confidently. "You must be Luna! Nice to meet ya!"

"So hot!" Kaminari and Mineta commented with heart-shaped eyes.

"Oh, silly me. Allow me to introduce myself and my sisters." The youngest Shiroibara sister greeted confidently. She backflipped back to her older sisters and gestured to her older sisters. "Everyone, meet my oldest sister, Sapphire."

Sapphire nodded her head with a smile.

"Ametrine." The youngest Shiroibara sister said.

Ametrine nodded with a wave.

"Rubellite." The youngest Shiroibara sister said.

Rubellite crossed her arms with a "what's sup" head gesture.

"And the one and only Hessonite." The youngest Shiroibara sister finished as she winked at the students. "And we are the Shiroibara Quartet! Nice to meet you!"

All Class 1-A and Class 1-B students applauded at the Shiroibara Quartet's introduction.

"They are Morganite's sidekicks?" Aisha whispered to Luna.

"Yeah." Luna whispered back. "She sent them here to showcase their Quirks since they want to join my mom's agency."

"They looked interesting though." Diana said with a smirk. "I can't wait to take down that Rubellite over there. She looks pretty tough."

"No surprise there." Selene remarked.

"Well, Shinso, why don't you say a few words?" Aizawa asked.

"I'm Hitoshi Shinso. I already faced some of you as opponents at the Sports Festival." Shinso introduced. "But we're not friends. Just because we fought before, I don't subside to that kind of sportsmanship. We're still competing to be the best, and I'm already countless steps behind. I need to prove myself. One day, I will be a proper hero. Then I can use my powers to help Citizens in need, all of you are hurdlers I must overcome. I'm not here in search of friends. Thanks for having me."

All Class 1-A and Class 1-B students clapped at Shinso's speech.

"That's quite a glare!" Uraraka added.

"Things are surely getting intense." Tokoyami observed.

"It's like the old Todoroki." Sero remarked.

"You think?" Shoto asked.

"Yep!" Sero replied.

"I like him already." Monona said with an interesting face.

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Aizawa spoke up.

"Combat training!" Vlad explained. "This time around, it's a battle between Class A and Class B! The stage will be this section of the training field!"

The training field is some sort of industrial area full of pipes and metal works.

"Each side will split up into five groups of four, and one of them will battle at a time!" Vlad King added.

"Sounds fun." Diana smiled.

"Including Shinso and the Shiroibara Quartet, there's 49 of us. How're they gonna deal with that odd number?" Shishida wondered.

"Today, Shinso will be participating in two battles! One on Class A's side and one with Class B! In other words, two out of five battles will be five vs. four!" Vlad King responded. "And as for the Shiroibara Quartet, they will be joining Class B's side."

"But that means the teams with only four have a clear disadvantage!" Hagakure voiced.

"To integrate Shinso, who has no experience, into your team will likely be an even bigger disadvantage!" Vlad King countered. "It's true that the teams of five will have an advantage, but they still have a handicap! The setting of this battle will be; 'the heroes move to surround the villain group to capture them!' Each team shall perceive the other as villains! Once either team captures four members of the other, it's over!"

"We're supposed to be heroes, and yet to our opponents we're also villains?!" Iida questioned in confusion. "So, which is it?! What are we?!"

"I think it's fine to consider yourself a hero!" Yaoyorozu said.

"In each team's camp we've installed a 'wicked cute and irredeemable prison'. The moment your opponent is thrown in there, they'll be considered captured!" Vlad King continued.

"That means rendering your opponent unable to fight close to their base would be the most efficient, but surely won't be easy." Shishida clarified.

"Once either team captures four members? So that's the handicap." Katsuki commented.

"That's right. Not only you'll have to team up with an inexperienced member, but also even if you're a team of five, you'll still lose if four of you are captured." Aizawa added.

"So, you're telling me we have to fight while carrying dead weight? Great." Katsuki growled.

"Cut it out, dude! That's such a rude way of saying it!" Kaminari berated.

"It's fine. It's the truth after all." Shinso said with an unamused face.

"You're leaving him in the dust in terms of virtuousness!" Kaminari scolded.

Vlad King held out a blue box that read "Lots B" and Eraser Head held out a red box that read "Lots A" in between their hands.

"Alright then, let's draw lots!" Vlad King and Aizawa announced.

Round 1: Tsuyu Asui, Denki Kaminari, Eijiro Kirishima, and Koji Koda against Ibara Shiozaki, Kosei Tsuburaba, Hiryu Rin, and Jurota Shishida

Round 2: Momo Yaoyorozu, Fumikage Tokoyami, Toru Hagakure and Yuga Aoyama against Itsuka Kendo, Shihai Kuroiro, Manga Fukidashi and Kinoko Komori

Round 3: Shoto Todoroki, Mashirao Ojiro, Tenya Ida, and Mezo Shoji against Pony Tsunotori, Sen Kaibara, Juzo Honenuki, and Tetsutetsu Honanie

Round 4: Katsuki Bakugo, Kyoka Jiro, Hanta Sero, and Rikido Sato against Yosetsu Awase, Setsuna Tokage, Kojiro Bondo, and Togaru Kamakiri

Round 5: Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka, Mina Ashido, and Minoru Mineta against Neito Monoma, Yui Kodai, Nirengeki Shoda, and Reiko Yanagi

Round 6: Luna Yagi, Diana Asaka, Aisha Rozu, Selene Hoshi against Hessonite, Rubellite, Ametrine, and Sapphire

After both classes drew their lots, Shinso was the last one to choose which teams he'll be joining. He revealed his teams: Class A's Team 1 and Class B's Team 5.

"Looks like we'll be fighting the sisters after all." Diana smirked.

"Someone got their wish." Aisha remarked sarcastically.

Hessonite walked up to Luna.

"You know, Luna, Morganite told me and my sisters all about you." Hessonite said with a smile. "I'm excited to see what you can do!"

"Right back at ya." Luna smiled back.

As five Class A and four Class B students headed to their designated areas, everyone turned their attention to the large monitoring screen, so they can observe the first match as both teams already arrived to their destinated starting positions.

Vlad volunteered to be the commentator.

"You'll start in your own areas! The time limit is twenty minutes! If you're unable to finish the match in that amount of time, the team with more members remaining wins!" Vlad King instructed.

With twenty minutes on the clock, the first jointing battle is set to commence.

All Might, Tarot Chariot, and Midnight arrived right on time to spectate the battle. They looked up to stare at the monitoring screen.

"Which class would you put the odds on?" Midnight asked.

"I couldn't really say." All Might replied. "Class A has definitely gotten stronger after overcoming so many different crises. But the thing is…if you look at their grades, Class B has actually improved more than they have. It's probably because they were able to cover the curriculum since they didn't run into outside trouble. They've been getting better at a steady rate. Class A has turned disasters into strength, while Class B has taken a more traditional approach to their studies."

"Well put, sweetie." Tarot Chariot smiled. "This'll be good."

"Fighters, take you marks!" Vlad King spoke on the microphone. "And...start!"

On a massive monitoring screen, Team 1-A advanced forward across the battle ground. Tsuyu began moving ahead on a wall by activating her camouflage all over her frog-like body without being spotted from Team 1-B. She peered around the corner to look out for the opposing team.

"Hey, that's new coming from Tsu." Aisha said.

"She's using her camouflage." Selene answered.

"Camouflage?" Diana repeated.

"Tsu's frog-like body can mask her presence, so she can blend into her surroundings by matching its color and temperature." Selene explained. "She's not entirely invisible, but she can become stealthy on her targets. At least, that's what she told me."

"Whoa, that's awesome." Luna smiled.

The monitoring screen displayed some pigeons flying down to Koda, informing him that Ibara began spreading her vines around her surroundings alone in one area.

But before Team 1-A could their move, Shishida suddenly leapt through the air out of nowhere in his large, monstrous beast form. In that form, he has a furry, animalistic body being covered entirely in thick fur and huge fangs. He swiped his claws at Kirishima and a camouflaged Tsuyu, sending them flying through nearby pipes that unexpectedly caught Team 1-A by surprise.

"Whoa!" Diana exclaimed with wide eyes. "That's some power!"

"Looks like Class B already planned to use Ibara as bait from the start, so they can attack them by surprise." Aisha said. "Very clever."

The viewing screen then showed Tsuburaba riding on top of Shishida's back. Tsuburaba shaped his hands into a cube and blew out a cube of air that expanded and solidified itself around Koda, trapping him inside a soundproof box. That leaves Tsuburaba and Shishida to face against Kaminari and Shinso.

Shinso sneakily adjusted several plates on his mask-like device. He resonated his vocal tone into mimicking Tsuburaba's voice and emitted it directly at Shishida. Once Shishida responded to Tsuburaba's imitated voice, he instantly looked completely spaced out with milky white eyes.

Luna's eyes widen in amaze when Shinso's support mask is actually a special voice-altering mask.

Enjoy and review.
