AN/; IT'S JUST A DAY BEFORE THE REAL ACTION. I JUST SCRAPPED BUNCH OF ACTION WHERE DEKU HUNTS DOWN THE REMAINING BLACK LOTUS GANG. COMMENT IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER BLACK LOTUS. IF NOT, CHECK THE 6TH CHAPTER.

AND PLEASE COMMENT ON WHAT YOU EXPECT TO SEE ON THE NEXT CHAPTER. AND I WAS LATE BECAUSE I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ABOUT FEW EPISODES.


The day started with a debate. Whether or not bring Eri with them or not. Nezu wanted her to be near Aizawa and students all the time. He noticed how comfortable she's around with and knew nobody else could take good care of her and keep her accompanied. Midnight was ready at first, but she had enough responsibilities and Nezu wanted her to concentrate on her students. Eri is their responsibility and they least want is to make her uncomfortable or alienate her. So in the end, what other choice do they have?

That's why she's standing outside the gate with class 1-A, waiting to board the bus. She got a big white round hat one with her usual outfit as she held the flowerpot with her. She first thought to leave it back in her room. But she wasn't feeling good leaving it behind, so she took it with her. To her four direction, class 1-A scattered around laughing chatting as they waited for class 1-B.

"Hey, there Eri. Sorry to leave you here alone." Izumi apologized crouching in front of the little girl.

Eri nodded. "It's okay." She replied.

Izumi smiled and ruffled her white locks. "So, you carrying it everywhere I see." Izumi said eyeing the white flower.

"Yes. I don't feel like missing it. It's so important for me." Eri replied.

Izumi nodded understanding the girl. Whether they are against the Rider or not, if his flower keeps Eri calm and happy, they should let her keep it. Izumi is aware of the possible danger ahead when it comes to the flower. After all it's a 'gift' from a murderer. If it ever comes to a point where they have to get rid of the flower, Izumi will do it. Even if Eri will hate her for it.

"So, are you excited?" Izumi asked.

Eri looks at her confused. "I don't get it."

"I mean how do you feel going to the camp with us? It's gonna be fun right?" Izumi wondered.

Eri then thought about it for a few seconds and shook her head. "I don't know what to feel. Because I don't know what a Camp really is. Should I be happy about it?" She innocently replied.

Izumi raised her brows realising that they didn't told her about anything. "What to say? Well, we're going to train ourselves and I'm excited about it. For you, I'm sure there's a lot do. In my opinion, yeah, you should be excited. We're going to have a great time there." Izumi said.

"Great time? And I should feel happy?" Eri repeated while thinking. Izumi chuckled and nodded.

"Yes. You heard, right." Izumi confirmed.

Eri smiled a little too and her eyes soon shifted Izumi' side and saw someone behind her. "HEY, HEY, HEY. LOOK WHO WE HAVE HERE. THE 'SUPPOSED' TOPPERS OF OUR BATCH I SEE." Came a loud and weird voice attracting everyone's attention.

When turning around they saw a wierd smirking Monoma and sweatdropped. "Hey, aren't you Class 1-A is attracting attention? On top it's the unwanted attention that will cause us all trouble? Hey, I thought you'd be dealing with the vigilante since you guys are supposed to be stronger than us? Hey-" before he could continue, a chop connects with his neck knocking him out immediately, making all of them sweatdrop.

"I'm sorry for his behaviour, class 1-A? Monoma is a crackhead sometimes." Kendo apologized and dragged him towards their bus.

"What was he saying?" Eri asked confused.

"I think we should not be worried about that."

After everyone boards the bus, it rode towards the destination. Next stop, a hotel or a resting place to chill out and then Camp.


AN HOUR LATER...


The expectations was high. They thought the camp was so far. But what they thought was a resting place turned out to be the camp. They stared at nothing but jungle ahead of them. They stood on top of a huge ledge and they looked dumbfounded. It looks nothing like a camp. On top of it all. The jungle seemed unforgiving and dangerous.

"Is this is it?" Sero wondered.

"Where's the hotel then?" Kaminari asked.

"And why are we here?" Mineta asked.

"Mr Aizawa, are we going to rest here?" Mina asked nervously.

Aizawa grinned weirdly making them panic. He only does that when there's really something to worry about. "No, were here. At the camp." He answered and before any of them could answer they heard a car engine. And out came bunch of cat like people.

"Lock on with these sparkling gazes." Mandalay said.

"Stingingly cute and catlike." Pixie Bob said.

"Wild, Wild, Pussycats." Both women said in unison as they did some dance like things. As they giving poses, a bored looking boy stood next to them as if he's questioning his own life.

The students stood frozen solid and didn't even know what really happened. "Long time no see." Aizawa said bowing and looks at the students. "They are the Pussycats. Throughout our stay here, they'll have a role in your training. Greet them now." Aizawa said.

"Hello. And thank you for being here." The students said in unison.

Eri looks at the three new comers and then her eyes landed on a small boy around her agae. He om the other hand seems so uninterested to be there. But when he sees her, he didn't have any reaction and looks away. Eri blinked confused. She never seen someone around her age before. And that kid really don't seem interested in her presence as well. Only if she could see a blush on his cheeks.

"So, we'll have to say something before we start." Mandalay started making them look at her. "We own this land, and we'll stay there at the foot of that mountain." She said pointing at a far distance.

The students all looks at the place and wondered. "So, why are we out of the bus already?" Sero asked.

"If we're out of the bus already, that means..." Kirishima said and sweats when reality struck him.

"It's 8:30 in the morning..." Mandalay started with a smirk. The students shook their head realising what's going to happen. "...if you move fast, we can expect you by afternoon. And if not, no lunch for you." She finished.

Others realised what's going on and awkwardly chuckled. "Haha, we should definitely go back into the bus." Kaminari said.

"Yeah."

"Sure."

"Definitely." Came different replies. Aizawa already moved Eri to his side.

"Now, hurry up. Class B already started the corse." Aizawa said seeing the students fleeing. And when he said that, the ground beneath the students fell, dropping them off the cliff. They screamed as fell ten or twenty feet drop and landed on top of the fallen debris of the cliff.

They groaned and sat up. Looking up, they realised how high the ledge was and was surprised to be alive.

"Ouch. What now?" Kirishima groaned.

Soon as he said the words, ground shakes starling them. It didn't felt like any regular earthquake. It wasn't an earthquake to begin with honestly. It was something else. Everyone looks around and only way out is through the trees and towards the direction Mandalay order them to go and the tremors came from the same way.

It took only few seconds and their hearts skipped few beats when seeing what came across the way. They've never seen anything like that before. A big dinosaur like creature that is completely looks like sand and mud with many green plants all over it's body.

"I think that's next." Izumi answers Kirishima' question.

The creature up until now didn't even see them, but when did it already was on them. The creature approached fast and they couldn't move on time. But one did. Bakugo flew like a jet using his explosion and splattered the big monster using the same technique. Sand and mud flew every directions, due to the impact being tremendous. Bakugo landed few feet away and looks back at them. "I don't know about you extras, but I'm going to fry some turds." He yelled and took off seeing another one at a far distance.

His actions gave others the greenlight and they felt even more confident. Izumi was the first to take off. To achieve her goal, she needs to master both her quirks. She doesn't want the psychic to tire her out or drain her strength. Nor she wants her fire quirk to burn her or fry her bones.

She locked on her target and used her psychic to hover and used her Burn to throttle and move forward quickly. Within few feet away from the monster, she concentrated Fire on her right fist to power up the punch and brought down an impact that made the creature' head shatter in to sand, as her fist connected.

Izumi landed next to rest of the students who already dealt with many creatures. However, all of them already felt tired and Bakugo and Izumi wasn't an exception. Izumi could feel her headache kicking in and groaned.

To make matters worse, few more creatures spawned out of nowhere. They mentally cursed and almost cried in irritation.


TIME SKIP- EVENING


Sun was setting. Eri stood next to Aizawa, Pussycats and Kota. Eri was feeling lonely. Izumi and others still aren't back yet. It took a full day and they still haven't came back. Last time she saw them was when they fell down. She panicked and almost cried, but Aizawa calmed her down saying they'll be okay and that it was part of their training. Eri looks at the scary looking woods and sighed and looks at the three grownups and Kota to find a positive reaction. She only saw them looking at the woods like she's doing, making it obvious that they have no clue either.

"Why did you stare at me?" Kota asked harshly when seeing Eri looking.

"I.. I'm sorry." She apologized not knowing what else to say. She didn't even do anything to begin with. Kota was like this all day and he was rude when she asked if he wanna be friends. After being around with Izumi and others, she expected him to be saying something positive. But he rudely said no and that he don't want to play with someone who's with heroes and that he hate heroes and hate her because she is with them. Eri felt bad. It's like there is still people around that is cruel and rude like her 'father'. She doesn't know why Kota hates heroes but didn't dare to ask.

"Kota. What have I said yesterday. Do not be rude with anyone. Now apologize."Mandalay demanded. Kota huffed and looks away. Before Mandalay speak more, they heard rustling of the bushes and some groaning. When looking at the woods, Eri saw the class crawling on the ground and dragged their weight and they had many cuts and bruises all over their body. Eri saw the exact same thing when the other class made it half an hour ago.

Eri's eyes widened and ran up to them. "Oh no. You guys are hurt. What happened?" She asked worried as she checked on Ojiro and Shoji first. They are just breathing heavily and couldn't answer her. Eri checked on every last one of them until her eyes landed on the girls. They are equally hurt as the boys, except Izumi and Uraraka looked even worse. Izumi had her eyes closed and was sweating, pale and whimpering as she leaned on to a tree. And Uraraka' cheeks looks hollow and she sat next to Izumi. Other girls sat on the ground.

Eri reaches them and checked them as well and she was panicking. How are they hurt? Who hurt them?

"Why are you guys hurt? Did somebody hurt you?" She asked concerned and Momo was the only one who could reply.

"Hey...d.. don't worry.. it's just a part of the training." She reassured Eri, who don't look slightly convinced.

"But..but you're hurt." She said and touched both Izumi'and Ura' cheeks. Izumi saw it and barely smiled.

"We'll be alright. Don't be scared." Momo said.

"Now..." Mandalay spoke loudly enough for them to hear. "... today you are provided with some delicious food. Enjoy it. But tomorrow you work as a group and make food for everyone." She said. And that's when they felt like their souls leaving their body. They're officially dead inside and to top it all, they have to eat what they cook. It's a nightmare they are in. And they so badly want to wake up.
