Prepare for the UA Sports Festival
Ruby is seen sleeping like a cute little kid with the bedsheet barely covering her body and snoring a little loud though groans a bit as she starts to worry and scared of something in her dream.
(Dreamscape)
Ruby is seen running through an endless tunnel of darkness trying to escape the place until she finally manages to get out, only to find herself in a familiar place that she did not expected to be in.
"Is this… Vale's City Shopping Area?" Ruby asked as she looks around seeing all the familiar stores and landmarks.
However, her eyes widen of horror when she saw what was on the ground laying there lifeless.
"JAUNE!" Ruby shouted as she run towards her friend.
It wasn't just Jaune who is here, but also his team and other student who she knows even though they don't talk with her much, but still say hi and even seeing Cardin's team all bloody and dead with Cardin missing an arm.
"No, no… this can't be happening…" Ruby sobbed.
"Ru… by…"
Ruby shock of hearing that voice and look down seeing Jaune barely alive looking right at her with the lifeless eyes.
"Why did you abandoned Remnant?" Jaune asked.
"What? I didn't, we went after that blackhole guy and" Ruby's sentence was cut off when Jaune suddenly grab her by the throat with both hands squeezing hard to make her choke for air.
"You don't deserve to be Huntress or a hero!" Jaune shouted as he squeezes hard.
Ruby try begging Jaune to let her go, but she couldn't utter a word out of her mouth and then she hears a very loud alarming sound.
(Dreamscape End)
Ruby shot herself up, screaming for a second and turn to the nightstand where her alarm clock is ringing loud waking her up at the time she set it on, she press the snooze shutting it off.
"It was just a dream…" Ruby said, though it felt real to her.
"Hey Ruby, time for breakfast!" Yang called out.
"Coming." Ruby responded as she got out of bed.
The dream made her worry of how her friends back on Remnant are doing with team RWBY now that they're in another world, but she knows worrying about it won't solve everything and believes her friends will be strong to keep the world safe for them until they find a way to return home. Although, she also knows that if they can't find that blackhole villain guy to take them back home then they'll just have to call this world their home from now on.
But she'll worry about that later, right now she needs to get breakfast and get ready for school.
(Later, Outside)
"Morning girls, how did you all sleep?" Izuku greeted standing outside of their apartment door.
"Doing great, thanks again for showing us this building and it's really cool now that we're neighbors!" Ruby answered.
"Glad I was able to help you with your living problem. I remember my mom mention something about a resident moving away making this apartment available, so I figured you girls could use it." Izuku explained.
"Yeah, it's definitely suits as a new home for us. I'll have to think of a way to repay you one day." Yang winked causing Izuku to blush.
"N-No need to do that, just helping others is what I like to do!" Izuku stuttered.
"Yang, stop making him feel weird." Blake sighed while eating a dried squid on a stick.
"Yes, all this talking is going to make us late for school." Weiss reminded them as she looks at her watch.
"Right, now let's get going!" Ruby cheered.
"Just a heads up, the train you'll be taking with from now on will be very crowed even on the busy times, so make sure you can endure the pressure of being squeezed together." Izuku warned.
"Oh, I'm sure we have other 'pressuring' matters to worry about." Yang punned and the girls groan from another of the awful puns though Izuku giggles a bit.
"Let just get going." Weiss grunted.
(Class 1-A)
Izuku and the girls are arrived and took their seats which the teachers were able to make room for four more desks in the back as four of the students have been assigned there while team RWBY got to sit next to Izuku, probably Nezu's idea thinking they should be with him to learn more about UA and the things they do.
"Hey Izuku, I saw the news on the jumbo screen on our way here saying about UA being attacked by villains. Did you and the class got caught in it?" Blake asked.
"Oh, that's right, you guys were there at the very end. Yeah, some villains broke at USJ and try to hurt us, but All Might and the other Pros were able to fend them off." Izuku explained.
"Aw man, I wanted to be on that kind of action." Yang winced.
"Remember, Yang, in this world you can't use your powers in public without a hero license or you'll be in big trouble." Weiss reminded.
"Everyone, class is starting soon, so please take your seats and be quiet!" Teyna announced.
"We're already in our seats, dude." Denki pointed out, making the Class President gasps.
"This guy is really by the book, isn't he?" Ruby asked Toru from behind.
"Yeah, he tends to take things a little too seriously." Toru chuckled.
Then Shota Aizawa came in the class still with his bandages as Izuku explained to the four girls that he suffered a major injury from a villain attack during the USJ incident.
"Alright everyone, now that we got to know our new students. We can get on with an announcement I'm about to tell you." Shota said as everyone wait patiently for what he's about to say.
"The UA Sports Festival is about to start." Shota announced and everyone cheers.
"Let's kick some ass!" Eijiro shouted.
"I don't know what that is, but I'm already excited for it!" Yang whispered to Blake.
"Wait, is it really such a good idea to hold the sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?" Kyoka asked.
"They could attack once we're all in the same place." Mashirao added as Weiss understand this.
"Apparently, the Administration thinks this is a good way to show that the threats have been handled and our school is safer than ever. Plus, they're beefing up security compared to past years." Shota explained.
"(So, in a way it'll show the villains we're not afraid of them because of one attack.)" Weiss thought.
"This event is a huge opportunity for all students at UA, it's not something we can cancel because of a few villains." Shota stated.
"I'm sorry, but why not? It's just a sports festival!" Minoru asked worry.
"Huh, but I thought the Sports Festival was important to you guys." Ruby confused a little.
"Of course, it is. I just don't want to get murdered." Minoru freaked out.
"Our sports festival is one of the most-watched events in the entire world. In the past, everyone obsessed over the Olympic games, but then Quirks started appearing and now the Olympic have been drastically reduced in terms of scale and viewership. For anyone who cares about the competition, there's only one tournament that matters, the UA Sports Festival." Shota explained.
"(Almost like the Vytal Festival.)" Team RWBY thought the same thing.
"And top heroes everywhere will be watching, this is where you get scouted." Momo stated.
"Scouted? Meaning the Pro will be looking to take us on as sidekicks?" Ruby asked curious.
"That's right. After graduating, a lot of people join pro agencies as a sidekick." Denki answered.
"Yeah, but that's as far as some people go, they miss their chance to indie and stay eternal sidekicks. That's actually where you're headed since you're kinda dumb." Kyoka believed, making the electric hurt.
"While he may look dumb, I think he could make it into the pro level. You who mock others for trying their best will end up being sidekicks forever." Blake mocked just to make Kyoka feel bad for not giving her classmate some confidence. And it worked.
"It's true that joining a famous hero agency can garner you greater experience and popularity. That's why the festival matters. If you want to go pro one day, then this event could open the path for you. One chance a year, three chances in a lifetime, no aspiring hero can afford to miss this festival." Shota said as the students are giving off their determination in their eyes, including team RWBY.
"That means you better not slack off on your training." Shota added.
"Wow, your sports festival sounds like something we have back on Remnant." Ruby whispered to Izuku.
"It is, I used to watch it from home on the TV, but now I get to be a part of it!" Izuku excited a little, but he's also nervous at the same time.
(Lunchtime)
Izuku, RWBY, Tenya, and Ochaco are walking together through the hallway getting lunch from the cafeteria.
"Hey, Ochaco?" Izuku said her name getting her attention.
"What's up?" Ochaco replied.
"Why did you decided to come to UA? What made you want to be a Pro Hero?" Izuku asked curious.
Ochaco became nervous about telling her friends her reason of becoming a hero and decided to tell them.
"You wanna be a hero so you can get rich?" Izuku shocked.
"That's not surprising, most people want to get into the higher things in life making big money. However, I believe you're getting the money for your family, isn't it?" Weiss figured, knowing that feeling of wanting money but not for herself.
"Yes, exactly! My own owns a construction company, but we haven't gotten any work lately so we're flat broke." Ochaco explained, usually this isn't something she likes to talk about, but it's nice to tell her friends.
"I see, becoming pro with a license would allow you to use your Quirk to bring the cost of the equipment down." Weiss stated.
"And they would sell their heavy-lifting equipment too. She could float everything." Tenya added.
"I know, right? I've been telling Dad that since I was a kid!" Ochcao said.
"But… my dad doesn't want me to go through the trouble just so I can follow my own dream." Ochaco sighed. Remembering how she wanted to help her parents, but they said that they would be even happier to their daughter following their own dream.
"That just how parents are, wanting their kids to be happy." Blake said.
"I'm going to be a Pro Hero; I'll sign with a good agency and make plenty of money. Then I'll be able to let my parents have an easy life!" Ochaco determined.
Everyone gasps of Ochaco looking very strong in her eyes as her dream is more grounded than anyone here, Ruby and Yang smiles feeling their eyes are about to burst into tears, Weiss form a small smile and hope to accomplish using her riches back on Remnant to make life a little easier for the people of Atlas. Blake now wish to make things right with her parents after running out on them back when she still believed the White Fang were doing right, hopefully they can forgive her. Tenya was very mood of Ochcao's dream of helping her parents, he shouts how noble she is and clap his hands.
"Young Midoriya, and the four new students are here!" All Might entered the scene loudly surprising everyone.
"All Might! What are you doing here?" Izuku asked.
"Lunch, you five want to eat with me?" All Might asked.
"That's so adorable!" Ochaco squealed.
"You think this is adorable?" Weiss questioned Ochaco's view on things that are adorable.
"If it's alright with the others, then I guess we can join you." Ruby said, looking at Teyna and Ochao as they nod.
(Lounge)
"Come in, make yourself comfortable." All Might gestured Izuku and RWBY into the lounge.
"And I believe we can trust these otherworldly students with our secret, Young Midoriya." All Might said shocking the dark-green hair boy.
"What, are you sure?" Izuku asked.
"What secret?" Yang wondered what those two are talking.
Yang got her answer than the Symbol of Peace transform into his skinny skeleton right in front of the girls in a puff of steam.
"YOU'RE A ZOMBIE?!" RWBY screamed.
"Relax, I'm not a zombie. This is just my true form whenever my time in the hero form you see is up. This is what I look like most of the days. Oh yeah, my name is Toshinori Yagi." Toshinori revealed.
"Izuku, did you know about this?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, is was about a little over 10 months ago when there was a villain attack before he made me his Successor of his Quirk." Izuku answered.
"Successor of his Quirk? What does that mean?" Weiss confused.
"I promise I'll you about it when I can, but now I can tell you that it's a power up Quirk maing me stronger." Izuku promised.
"Interesting, I would like to see that in a sparring match." Yang excited, wanting to see how strong Izuku is.
"So, how are you girls adjusting to UA, so far?" Toshinori asked.
"Good, Mr. Aizawa is a little creepy and mysterious, but I think he's a really nice guy deep down." Ruby said.
"I still he's being irresponsible for sleeping in his own class." Weiss annoyed.
"At least he doesn't brag on about himself." Yang said, remembering Port's class.
"And everything else is okay, getting along with our classmates well." Blake added.
"Glad to hear that." Toshinori nodded as he sits down.
"Now, you all should know that the time of my hero form is 50 minutes now." Toshinori mentioned while making some tea.
"50 minutes?" Ruby wondered.
"I suffered a major injury over five years ago, because of that I can do my hero work in little time of the day." Toshinori explained revealing his scar shocking the girls.
"Whoa, I don't think I'm tough enough to survive that." Yang admitted.
"It must've been a miracle for you to still be alive." Weiss commented.
"Indeed, during the USJ incident I overdid too many times. That Nomu was a real tough customer. He took a lot out of me." Toshinori explained.
"Nomu?" Ruby confused.
"I'll tell you about it later." Toshinori said.
"I'm sorry, if I was just" Izuku apologizing was cut when Toshinori laughs coughing up some blood, scaring him and the girls.
"You don't need to apologize for anything. Man, we really are alike." Toshinori said, patting his head.
"Anyway, I brought you here to talk about the sports festival that you still can't fully control One for All, which is the name of the Quirk Izuku mentioned." Toshinori said.
"Yeah, every time I use at full power it breaks my body, so I'm focusing it on one arm though I know it's not going to be enough." Izuku said.
"Hey, maybe we can help you with that. And I think you do have some control when you punched that blackhole guy to save me." Ruby remembered.
"Yeah, sounds like a small progress." Toshinori said, standing up and looking out the window.
"To be frank, I don't have much time left as the world's Symbol of Peace. Soon, I'll have to put that title to bed." Toshinori said, making Izuku worry.
"And some villains out there are starting to notice that. Someone has to step up to keep the people safe." Toshinori said and turns to Izuku.
"I gave you my power for one reason: because you will the hero who takes my place. Do you still feel the same way when we first met, do you still wanna be a hero?" Toshinori asked.
"Yes!" Izuku answered immediately.
"Excellent. The time has come for you to prove it. This sports festival: it's something that the pros—no, the entire country will be watching very closely. Think of it as your debut, you are the fledging Symbol of Peace." Toshinori said strongly making Izuku shock even the girls are getting motivated from them.
"Izuku Midoriya. I want you to introduce yourself to the world and proudly say "I am here!"" Toshinori instructed.
"And that goes for you girls too, you're aiming to be heroes too." Toshinori encouraged.
"That is our intention!" Ruby shouted proudly.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Now team RWBY are aware of the UA Sports Festival and they'll have to train hard to be ready for whatever the festival will throw at them, and they may even be able to help Izuku control a little more about his Quirk as well once he ready himself to tell them about One for All.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
