This is the 16th chapter. I don't own the series of My Hero Academia or the series of Justice League.
BrianShooter672: I think I'll go with the 'Super Family' because it sounds better and catchy. And I can add Jonathan Kent along with Kara Zor El, Mia Kent, Galatea, and Connor. Though to let you know, Kryptonians have the ability called 'Longevity', meaning they can live longer as long as they're under the exposure of the 'yellow' sun. Also, I'll be adding to the successor of 'Steel'.
The Sports Festival Begins
At the Watchtower, Dabi, Jonah Hex, Vigilante (Greg), Harley Quinn, and Long Shadow informed the Justice League that the villains made their move at USJ to kill the students, Eraser Head, and Thirteen. Luckily, the Bat Family, Sons of Batman Motorcycle Club, Boondock Saints, Catwoman, and Delta were able to prevent that from happening, but it got them curious is the Nomu that the villains were with. Martain Manhunter can tell that the Nomu is non-human and it's been created. But it got them impressed that Batman was able to kill it with the Battlesuit.
"Whoa, he's the new Batman alright. And he just killed it." Flash states.
"This thing isn't alive to begin with, it's undead." The voice of Spoiler said when she and Orphan walk towards them. "It's like the previous cases where Bruce dealt the Court of Owls."
"Gotcha." Toya nods with an understanding.
Both Stephanie Brown, known as Spoiler, and Cassandra Kain, known as Orphan, joined the Justice League for only 3 years ago. Both Stephanie and Cassandra were trained by Bruce and Barbara when they're kids the same way with Ethan, Emily, James, Jared, and Zachery and became the members of the Justice League.
"But still, going after the students head on was too bold. No one is stupid enough to go that far." Mr. Terrific states with a ponder. "Especially with him, it's like he's waiting for the big fish to arrive at USJ. Though, it's not exactly what he had in mind when Batman and the others arrived."
"What was he expecting?" Shayera inquires
"All Might." Mr. Terrific answered. "That Nomu and those thugs are meant for him. According to what you guys said, this Nomu has more than one powers in between Healing Factor and Shock Absorption."
"Impressive powers and useful for Nomu to match against All Might." John said, placed his hand next to his chin. "Batman already beat that Nomu without any problems."
"But seeing something like it's coming from a horror movie is a bit overkill." Flash adds in disgust.
"And what's wrong with scary movies?" Harley Quinn asks with a grin. "I think Batman did alright in my book. It may be gory for ripping its head out while Dabi barbecued it, which it's quicker than let it come back for more."
"Harley is correct, neither of us wanted to take any chances on arresting Nomu." Martian Manhunter agrees. "Apparently, me, Doctor Fate, Black Adam, and Adrian have been conducting the investigation on the remains of Nomu."
Soon, the Black Adam and Doctor Fate arrived at the conference room to give the information to their fellow members of the Justice League.
Mahmound Teth-Adam, known as Black Adam, is a muscular young Egyptian with black hair and brown eyes. He wore a Black Adam attire, but in the Egyptian them with an addition of tendi, braces on his forearms, usekh collar, and leg guards.
"What have you learned besides it being undead and having two Quirks?" Spoiler inquires.
"Quite a bit, actually." Black Adam answered in an Egyptian accent. "This Nomu you and the others have encountered were created from human corpses whose bodies changed drastically to make them stronger than All Might and having multiple Quirks. However, the Nomu ceases all higher brain function."
"Basically, it leaves them to no will of their own and having to listen at anyone's command." Mr. Terrific adds.
The Justice League members were shocked of the explanation which it explains why the Nomu was at USJ and having multiple Quirks.
"Whoa, using dead bodies to make those things? That's nuts!?" Flash exclaims.
"And it gets worse." Doctor Fate told him. "The number of the Nomus were created by All For One, who uses his Quirk to grant them multiple Quirks, and Doctor Garaki, who artificially transplants Quirks through advanced surgery."
"Okay, who is this Doc Garaki?" Flash questions when Mr. Terrific showed the image of Dr. Garaki.
Dr. Garaki is a fairly old man of a portly and short stature. He's completely bald and has a very large and bushy mustache. He wears a peculiar set of goggles that are shaped somewhat like gears along with white, buttoned-up labcoat.
"His name is Kyudai Garaki, he's the board chairman of the Jaku Hospital, which it's a coverup. He's secretly working with the League of Villains and a servant to All For One." Mr. Terrific explains. "His Quirk is called Life Force, a power that allows him to live longer which he's over his 100s."
"Whoa, and I thought Eggman is a rotten scientist." Harley Quinn states. "But instead of robots, that Dr. Eggman wannabe was using dead bodies to make Nomus!"
Dabi, Flash, and Spoiler couldn't help but snicker a little. Though not many of the Justice League members find it amusing of Harley's joke.
"But what about that Smokey guy, were you able to find out about it?" Batwoman inquires.
"Not much is known about him, but all we know is the name called 'Kurogiri'." Mr. Terrific answered. "His power is 'Warp Gate', it grants him to create and manipulate the dark fog from the head and hands. The fog can also act as a transport to another location, but it requires to know where the exact location."
"Which it explains how they got to USJ in the first place because of Yuga." John states.
"Yes, but I did get a look at Kurogiri even further." Doctor Fate told him. "He was created by a human corpse of Oboro Shirakumo to take part of the League of Villains."
"And who is this 'Oboro Shirakumo'?" Shayera questions as Mr. Terrific shows the image of Oboro Shirakumo.
Oboro was a tall boy of average stature with light blue, wavy hair that was swept back to flow upwards above his head, two shorter, ear-length tufts left hanging-downwards to frame his face. His hero costume consists of a closed dark blue martial arts gi, secured by a black knot tied obi over his waist, boots, and black fingerless gloves. He also wore a black undershirt and a dark brown aviator jacket with white fur lining, and on his head, a blue aviator hat with large mufflers and an opening that allowed his hair to protrude from the top. The back of his jacket featured a Japanese word for 'Cloud'. He sported goggles, and on his back, he carried a sheath to store his quarterstaff. His suit was complemented by a gourd-like speaker tied on his belt.
"Oboro Shirakumo was a student in U.A. High at 17, and his Quirk if called Cloud." Mr. Terrific explains. "Cloud grants him the ability to generate a cloud in between to make it dense enough to be touched while carrying an amount of weight and he can ride through the air with his cloud. He can even store his objects in his cloud."
"Sounds like he can use it for aerial combat and given a helping hand." John Stewart points out.
"But he doesn't follow the protocol for becoming a Pro Hero and he always got himself into a lot of trouble." Spoiler told him when Orphan nods with an agreement. "That look on his face gives it away."
"And what got himself killed is that he was left defenseless while protecting the kids, caused him to get crushed by the rubble." Mr. Terrific adds. "However according to the reports, his body was stolen before the cremation."
"Which means All For One manages to get a hold of the dead body and Dr. Garaki started the experimentation by turning Oboro into Kurogiri." Dabi guessed.
"It would seem so." Martian Manhunter confirmed with a nod.
"So, what do we do?" Flash inquires. "Should we look for them or what?"
"I'll try and get their current location, but it won't be easy to find them." Mr. Terrific points out.
"Then you'll be needing some help." The voice of Nikita Waller said as she revealed herself from the screen. "Before any of you go full Yosemite Sam of me, I'll have you know I'm the new Director of A.R.G.U.S., Nikita Waller. I also forming a new Task Force X."
"Give us one good reason why should we trust you?" Shayera growled, holding her mace. "Last time we trusted Amanda, she..."
"I'm well-aware of her actions, and I can assure you, I'm nothing like her." Nikita interrupts. "I don't use the criminals as expendable soldier, but I only put them on a short leash as long as their sentences are done. But I've recruited some of the team as my own."
"Good know." John Stewart said sarcastically. "What do you want?"
"I come to make an alliance with the Justice League." Nikita answered. "After hearing of you hiding at the Watchtower and keeping the world safe from criminals, you'll be needing all the help you can get. The reason I'm telling you this is because some of the survivors of the Legion of Doom, including Gorilla Grodd and Lex Luthor, are still on the move."
"You've got to be kidding me!?" Flash exclaims in disbelief.
"I wish, but after the fight between yours and their groups, the Legion of Doom are recruiting." Nikita told them. "Especially with those group that are fighting against criminals that are independent."
"We know, the Boondock Saints, the Bat Family, Sons of Batman Motorcycle Club, Catwoman, and Delta are working independently between Japan, Ireland, and US." Spoiler said seriously. "They'd made a promising recruits for the Justice League."
"Shoto would be as well if he decides to join." Dabi adds.
Nikita couldn't help but smirk, impressed that the Justice League were able to find a number of recruits. The Justice League and Nikita decided to have some discussions of the actions between the League of Villains and the Legion of Doom since they're gonna have to work together if they want to beat the criminals and save the world.
At U.A. High, night came and the meeting was gathered at the conference room. Barbara, Naomasa, Batman, and Black Spider met with the UA Faculty members. The detective, the commissioner, and two vigilantes were standing in front of the large desk where all of the UA Faculty members were seated.
"Our investigators are trying to learn everything they can about this so-called 'League of Villains'. We've made some progress, but we can't find anything on this Shigaraki so far." Naomasa explains, reading off the report. "We've searched our records for men in their 20s or 30s registered as having some sort of disintegration Quirk, but so far, we've come up empty."
"I wouldn't say that." Batman said, earned their attention. "I've gained access to files of Tomura Shigaraki, and learned that his actual name is Tenko Shimura. He's the son of the Shimura family and a grandson of a Pro Hero named Nana Shimura."
It got the heroes, except Barbara and Black Spider, shocked of Shigaraki's actual name and related to Nana.
'He's related to my former teacher?! I didn't know that Shigaraki is related to her!' All Might exclaims in disbelief.
"There's something I don't understand, why did Shigaraki choose the life of a villain?" Aizawa questions, pondered.
"We've gain some information of those people who knows about the incident that happened decade ago. Her son, Kotaro Shimura, has developed a strong hatred towards the Pro Heroes after she gave up on him and placed him under a foster care during his childhood." Black Spider explains. "The worst case scenario is, he became a shitty father when he abuses his children over for something related to heroes."
The UA Faculty members and Naomasa were completely stunned of Black Spiders explanation of Kotaro became an abusive father to Tenko. Aizawa and All Might however, just scowled in anger, learning about Tenko's father.
'That bastard...abusing his own son...' All Might mentally growled.
"And that's not the worst part, Tenko have developed a Quirk, but the downside is he couldn't control it and the cost of it is he killed his family along with his home." Batman said. "He's reported missing after left himself as an orphan, and they've been searching for him for years while fending himself in the streets."
The UA Faculty members and Naomasa were astonished of Batman's explanation which it explains why Tenko became a villain because of Kotaro abusing his son.
"His Quirk is called Decay, it grants him to destroy anyone or anything with only the palm of his hands. It won't matter if it's organic or not." Batman continued.
"It explains about the gates being destroyed and the media managed to enter inside of U.A. High." Aizawa muttered seriously. "And Aoyama took the bait when he secretly entered the Principal's Office without getting caught and gathering information of the schedule of USJ."
"What about the Wrap Gate Quirk, Kurogiri?" Naomasa inquires. "We've tried searching for the records, but so far, we've come empty."
"I've checked every files about Kurogiri, but I found nothing." Batman answered. "Tenko is a citizen, but he's using that alias name. Kurogiri, is a different story."
"So, what you're saying is we know about Shigaraki and know nothing about Kuorgiri?" Vlad King inquires, crossed his arms with a grim look on his face.
"Unfortunately." Batman replied.
"He'll most likely try pullin' something like this again, but I don't think it'll happen because you gave him a brooding look." Snipe points out. "What a pain."
"He did seem like the type." All Might said with a sigh.
"Is something on your mind, All Might?" Nezu inquires, turns to him when he heard the comment.
"The attack on the USJ is too bold, no sane adult would ever attempt it." All Might explains. "But after Batman and the others somehow turned the place into a lockdown, they're able to put a stop to that attack. The ringleader wasn't happy about it and it didn't go exactly the way he wanted. But he bragged about Nomu's many Quirks, but he never said a word about his own powers. Like I said, when it didn't go exactly the way he wanted, he was visibly upset. Like he was gonna throw a tantrum."
"True, it's irrational about bragging someone else's Quirk." Aizawa agrees. "He should've kept it a secret instead of revealing it."
"Shigaraki made wild, immature claims, but did so with a completely straight face. And he talked about Nomu like he was some kind of a pet." All Might continued, thinking back on USJ. "It seemed like he'd never been...no, before like he thought things would go his way no matter what. He has the personality of a spoiled little brat. A man-child."
"A child with incredible power, though." Vlad King points out.
"It's possible he never got the Quirk counseling students received in elementary school." Midnight said.
"He never did, because All For One found him and raise him as his own, molding him into a villain." Black Spider points out.
"Maybe so, but it doesn't really matter now." Snipe said.
"But did you find out after the USJ attack?" Naomasa inquires, turns to Batman. "Did Aoyama mention anything about his actions?"
"Yes, Yuga told us that All For One is in charge of the League of Villains." Batman explains. "These criminals we've encountered were only a small-time thugs who are following orders from Tenko."
"That's what worries me, this 'man-child' got them all to follow his crazy plan." Naomasa said. "They viewed him as a real leader. Criminals are starting to feel more pressure now that the world is brimming with Heroes. That could be why they were so quick to back such a simple-minded villainy."
"Guess that make sense." Vlad King agrees with a scowl.
"There are plenty of people out there lookin' for a cause to get behind." Snipe said, crossed his arms.
"So, what can we do to stop them?" Midnight asked.
"We already know of Yuga's past action, so, he'll be questioned by the police. He'll answer all the questions whenever he's ready." Black Spider suggests.
"We'll be patrolling the city in case the criminals are coming to attack again." Batman adds.
"There's no need, Batman. Thanks to you and your group, we have the time to devote ourselves to this case." Barbara told him. "We'll expand our investigation of their whereabouts and bring in Yuga Aoyama for questioning."
Batman and Black Spider replied with a nod when Nezu looked down at the report copy.
"A man-child, huh?" Nezu muttered, earned All Might's attention. "In some ways, he shares common grounds with out students. They both have so much potential, and like our students. I suppose that All For One is guiding him, trying to nurture his malice and villainy."
That troubled All Might greatly, that he didn't want to talk about what that could mean.
At Izuku's apartment, Izuku's mother named Inko Midoriya was cooking dinner for her son. The school was closed the day after the League of Villains attacked USJ, which he figured they wanted the students to have a little break. However, Class 1-A students couldn't rest easily along with Class 1-B students.
Inko Midoriya has large and circular eyes. Her hair and eyes are green, but in a slightly darker shade. Her hair is straight and shoulder-length, with a small and spiky ponytail at the back.
Izuku was in his room, watching one of All Might's greatest moments while working out by lifting a dumbbell. His mind then flashed back to when the villains attacked the USJ. All he and the students did was watching Batman and the others fought against the criminals while saving the students. Long Shadow and Batman then beat Nomu, if it weren't for them, they never would've stand a chance against those villains.
However, Izuku was also shocked that Ethan was actually Batman along with the others who revealed their identities. Izuku felt hurt that Ethan didn't tell him, but he had a reason which he'll keep it a secret from the Government since the Dark Knight doesn't trust them.
Though if he's going to become a Pro Hero, then he'll have to make All Might's power as his own. He had to embody One-For-All and master every aspect of it until it's second nature for him. Because there isn't much time for All Might and he's the one he chose. Izuku will make him proud.
He snapped out of his thoughts when there was knock on his door.
"Izuku?" The voice of Inko called her son.
"Yeah?" Izuku said, turned over his shoulder as he lowered his dumbbell when Inko opened the door and looked at him.
"It's dinner time. Your food's getting cold." Inko told him.
"I'll be right there. Thanks, mom." Izuku said with a smile.
Soon as they went to the kitchen, both Izuku and Inko began eating their dinner.
The next day, Ethan, James, and Curtis are working on fixing the Batmobile since it took a bit of damage from Nomu back at USJ. Zoey, Sarah, Emily, and Zachery were sparring against each other while Eri and Jared are working on their powers and sparring against each other. They're also listening to the music called 'Surrender' by Cheap Trick. So, as they do their activities, Bruce came downstairs and noticed them sparring while the others are working on the Batmobile.
"And what are you doing up this early?" Bruce questions when they turned off the radio.
"We're working on fixing the Batmobile, that Nomu did a number on it. Mostly the dents." Ethan explains. "We're trying to fix it, so I can get back out there."
"Don't overwork yourself. Otherwise, your body will end up stressed and exhausted." Bruce told him. "I learned that the hard way, the years of being Batman took a toll on me."
"The city needs Batman, Bruce." Ethan protests. "I need to fix it and get back out there to help them stop the League of Villains."
"No, no you don't." Bruce argued. "I refuse to let you kill your body like I did. You need to rest, and that's an order."
"He has a point, Ethan. Let's just take a break, so we won't overwork ourselves." Zachery points out with an agrement, causing Ethan to sigh in defeat.
"Fine, but what if the city needs us? What if the city needs Batman?" Ethan questions.
"For once, the city is at peace." Bruce told him. "I refuse to lose you, because you want to push yourself past your limits."
"But I can handle it, Bruce!" Ethan argued. "I'm strong enough!"
"That's exactly what Dick Grayson and Jason Todd told me." Bruce remarked. "Along with my son, Damian, and guess what?! They're all dead! So no, I refuse to lose another son to this crusade!"
Ethan and the others went silent when Bruce mentions the other Robin's. After the fight against the Legion of Doom, they're all dead, Dick Grayson, known as Nightwing, Jason Todd, known as Red Hood, Tim Drake, known as Red Robin, and Damian Wayne, known as Robin. They all died by the hands of Joker. Apparently, the Sons of Batman Motorcycle Club, Emily, James, and Eri decided to leave since both Bruce and Ethan needs some time alone.
"So...what happened to the Joker?" Ethan asks. "You know, after all of the Robins were gone?"
Bruce goes silent and Ethan began to realize what he just did. It also tells him why he won't ever put on the Batman cowl again.
"No...you didn't...did you?" Ethan asks again, widen his eyes.
"That was the night I broke my one rule...he killed my sons, Ethan." Bruce told him sadly. "I took you in because I hoped you wouldn't break the rule like I did."
"So...you've taken a life...and that's why you stopped being Batman?" Ethan questions.
"The Joker finally won...Ethan, I need you to promise me something." Bruce said.
"Of course, what is it?" Ethan inquires.
"Don't ever cross that line. No matter what happens to me...be a better Batman." Bruce told him, placed his hand on his shoulder with a smile. "Be the Batman I could never be."
Ethan can tell that Bruce wanted him to never break the 'no kill' rule. Even though, the Boondock Saints, Sons of Batman Motorcycle Club, and Delta didn't follow the rules about killing because they only kill for the bounty, but they also keep the criminals alive in order to keep the bounty intact. Ethan then sighed as he spoke.
"You're wrong, you know?" Ethan said.
"What do you mean?" Bruce inquires skeptically.
"What you did...to the Joker, any sane human would do the same thing that you did." Ethan said which Bruce understands what he's telling him. "But I promise Bruce...I'll be the best Batman I can be. And I won't take a life."
"And I'll keep supporting for you, for as long as I live." Bruce replied with a nod. "But right now, you need to rest."
Ethan nods as they head upstairs to the manor.
At the Wayne Manor, Ethan had his bath after a long work of fixing the Batmobile along with Eri. The Sons of Batman Motorcycle Club, Emily, and James left early to head home. Bruce, Eri, and Ethan decided to watch the news to see that the Pro Heroes have everything under control. Even though, there are going to be some changes at U.A. High and they're going to keep quiet about the vigilantes working with the Pro Heroes together in order to fight against the League of Villains.
They turned to the sound of knocking on the door, so Ethan walk towards the door and opened it, only to see Barbara Gordon, who's the original Batgirl.
"May I come in?" Barbara inquires.
Ethan nods and let Barbara inside when Bruce left the room along with Eri. Now, the 2 of them sit down across from one another.
"Did he finally tell you?" Barbara asks.
"About what?" Ethan asks back. "How the Joker died...or how the Robins died?"
"Both." Barbara answered bluntly.
"Yeah, he did this morning." Ethan replied. "And I don't blame him for it, he lost his sons. You probably would've done the same in that situation."
"I wasn't saying that he's wrong, but Bruce asked me to show you something." Barbara told him.
"And what's that?" Ethan inquires curiously.
"Follow me." Barbara suggested.
Barbara leads Ethan out of the manner and into the graveyard which he had never seen this part before. After all that was only because Bruce and the other members of the Bat Family knew about it.
"Yeah...only the original members know about the secret graveyard." Barbara told him, earned a nod from him.
Soon as Barbara leads Ethan to the graveyard, he recognizes the 4 names who're the names of the 4 Robins.
In the honor of
Dick Grayson
AKA
Nightwing
In the honor of
Jason Todd
AKA
Red Hood
In the honor of
Tim Drake
AKA
Red Robin
In the honor of
Damian Wayne
AKA
Robin
"Barbara, what were they like? If you don't mind me asking?" Ethan asks.
Barbara goes to silent before taking a deep breath, starts to tell him about the first Robin, later as Nightwing, Dick Grayson.
"Dick loved to crack jokes." Barbara explains. "He's a very caring soul and he was one of my first lovers...we were going to get married, but the Joker took that from us both. Anyways, Dick was always light-hearted and caring. He would have loved to meet you, and he would've helped Bruce trained you, if he's still around."
Ethan nods as Barbara starts moving on to Jason Todd.
"Bruce found Jason on the streets, he's a punk kid with an attitude problem." Barbara continued. "But deep down, he had heart. After his death, Bruce was heartbroken, but Jason later came back as Red hood. When he's the Red Hood, he broke Batmans 'no kill' rule. But deep down, he cared about all of us. It he's still alive, he'd probably be like a big brother to you."
Ethan slowly nods as she move on to Tim Drake.
"Tim was the 3rd Robin, and he's super smart." Barbara continued. "However, he had a heart of gold. After Jason's 'death', Tim tracked Dick down and asked him to go back to being Robin, but Dick denied the request. Tim knew that there needed to be a Robin. So, he became the next Robin, eventually, he grew up and became Red Robin. Bruce even suspected that Tim would surpass him in intelligence and in detective work, but I guess that never happened."
Finally, Barbara moved on to Damian Wayne.
"Damian was a brat when he first arrived, but that's only due to the fact that he didn't get to have childhood, he was raised by the League of Assassins." Barbara continued. "Then when he came to Gotham, he was trained by Bruce and the others. He slowly grew on us all. Dick even took him as his Robin when Bruce was thought to be dead."
"But then, the Joker took them from Bruce?" Ethan asks.
"Yeah, Damian put up the most fight for the clown." Barbara replied. "But eventually, Joker killed him like the others."
Ethan slowly nods, understanding why Barbara took him out there. She wanted him to understand that even Batman had his allies she was trying to tell him, which Ethan has allies, but it'll be a time for him to take on a Robin for his own.
"Can you give me a few moments alone...with them?" Ethan suggests.
Barbara nods and walks off. Ethan turns to the gravestones and kneel in front of them.
"You guys were heroes...and I'm glad you were around to keep Bruce in check, but I guess that falls to me now." Ethan said with a smile. "I promise you...I'll be the best Batman I can be."
With that, Ethan leave some flowers on there graves and he walked out of the graveyard with Barbara.
At U.A. High, classes went back to normal and everyone was back to school. However, the big talk around the building was still the USJ incident as evident as the students of Class 1-A were sitting on their desks.
"You guys! Did you watch the news last night?" Toru asked.
"Yeah, I'm surprised they mentioned us. But still, Batman and those guys were a big talk at USJ." Ojiro said, standing next to her. "It's no surprise that they left before the media ever showed up."
"It was so cool that we got a few seconds of screen time!" Toru said. "Though, I bet nobody noticed me hanging out in the background."
"Probably not." Shoji replied bluntly, crossed his arms.
"It is difficult to stand out when you're just gloves." Ojiro told her, tried to comfort her.
As Jiro twirled her earphone jack, Denki leaned back his chair with his hands on the back of his head.
"We're totally big deals." Denki said. "Those news channels love us...we're basically celebrities."
"Hate to break it to you, but Batman and the vigilante group did all the work." Eijiro points out. "We only just stand and watch while they gave us a chance to escape."
"He's right, you need to get over yourself." Jiro adds, unimpressed. "The Hero Course that pumps out was attacked, and that's what they cared about."
"Who knows what would've happened to if they hadn't showed up." Sero said, leaned his chair with his arms crossed.
"WHY'D YOU SAY THAT?!" Mineta screamed with sweat and tears, panicked. "I'm gonna pee myself just thinking about it!"
"Oh, shut up!" Bakugo yelled with annoyance, scaring Mineta and startled Izuku. "Grow a pair, loser!"
"Did you guys see Batman and the group of heroes fight against the villains and that bird man?!" Sato exclaims with a big grin. "They took them down with no problems and Batman used that giant suit to beat the crap out of it!"
"Yes, they are a force to be reckoned with." Tokoyami agrees with his arms crossed. "And I'm looking forward on working with them together in order to gain experience in fighting against the vigilantes."
"I'll say." Eijiro said with a smirk. "Especially with that Delta and that clown lady, they're really badass! They're manly!"
"And that Batwing, he's really an amazing fighter." Mina adds with a blush on her face. "He's like my type~!"
"Batwing saved me, Kaminari, and Jiro at the Mountain Zone." Momo points out with a jealous glare. "And need I to remind you that he and his group saved all of us?!"
"Who asked you?!" Mina retorted with a glare as sparks came out of their eyes.
'So scary...' Sato, Eijiro, Denki, and Sero mentally thought with a frightened look on their faces.
Tsuyu however was hurt that Ethan didn't even tell him that he's Batman and why he cancelled the date. She even had a crush on Ethan when she first saw him and met, which apparently, Ethan doesn't have interest in her because he's dating with Lita. Though, she can understand why he kept it a secret for years, but she's look forward to work with him.
It was only 7 minutes until the start of homeroom when Tenya came fast walking into the room.
"Attention! Homeroom class is about to begin!" Tenya yelled before standing behind the teacher's desk and held out his arms. "Everyone stop talking and take your seats!"
"The only student who needs to take a seat is you, Iida." The voice of Aizawa said with a glare, earned his attention. "Get to your seat."
With that, Tenya quickly went to his desk and takes a seat.
"Good morning, class." Aizawa greets his students, standing behind the teacher's desk. "I have an announcement, the reason is your fight isn't over yet."
"Our fight?" Bakugo asked which it got him interested.
"Don't tell me..." Izuku said nervously.
"Not more bad guys?!" Mineta panicked.
"The UA Sports Festival is about to start." Aizawa announces.
"Ugh! Why would you scare us like that?!" Class 1-A shouted, before turned into excitement. "The Sports Festival!"
"Alright! Let's go kick some ass!" Eijiro shouted with energy and enthusiasm, nearly jumped out of his seat.
"Wait a second!" Denki protests, shoved Eijrio's face away with concern.
"Is it really such a good idea to hold the Sports Festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?" Jiro asked.
"They could attack once we're all in the same place." Ojiro chimed in with concern.
Aizawa sighed, a little irked by the fact that the festival was still going to happen.
"Apparently, the administration thinks this is a good was to show that the threat has been handled and our school is safer than ever." Aizawa informed them, but he skips the details of Batman and the vigilantes saving them. "Plus, they're beefing up security compared to past years. This even is a huge opportunity for all students of UA to show their potential. It's not something we can cancel because of a few villains."
This, however, didn't sit well for Mineta.
"Uh, I'm sorry, but why not?" Mineta asked, frightened. "It's just a Sports Festival."
"Huh? Mineta, don't you know how important this competition is?" Izuku inquires, turned his attention to the Pervy Grape.
"Of course I do! I just don't want to get murdered!" Mineta murmured.
"Our Sports Festival is one of the most-watched events in the entire world." Aizawa continued the announcement. "In the past, everyone was obsessed over the Olympic games, but that was before Quirks started to appear. Now, the Olympics 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 U.A. Sports Festival."
"That's right!" Momo agrees. "And top Heroes around the world will be watching. This is where you get scouted."
"Sure, unless you're dead." Mineta retorted.
"She's right." Denki agrees. "After graduating, a lot of people join Pro Agency as a sidekick."
"Yeah, but that's as far as some people go. They miss their chance to go independent and stayed eternal sidekicks. Actually, that's probably where you're headed, you're kinda dumb." Jiro said, turned to him while hurting his ego.
"It's true that joining a famous Hero Agency can garner you greater experience and popularity, that's why the festival matters." Aizawa said with a serious tone, which his words are sinking into the hearts and minds of his students. "If you wanna 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 the festival. That means you better not slack off on your training."
"Yes sir!" Class 1-A responded enthusiastically.
"Class is dismissed." Aizawa said.
At the Wayne Manor, Ethan went inside of the manor after paying respect to the 4 original Robins, but noticed that something is terribly wrong. He noticed that Bruce's cane is on the floor, but saw Eri rushed after him with a teary eyes.
"Ethan! Ethan! Bruce is..."
"Eri, what happen?" Ethan asks, embracing her. "Where's Bruce?"
"Bruce is gone...they took him..." Eri cried.
"Who, Eri? Who took Bruce?" Ethan asks again.
"It's those ninjas with swords and...the old man...he took Bruce away..."
Ethan then realizes who took Bruce Wayne. It's the founder and leader of the League of Assassins who uses the Lazarus Pit for centuries to live with immortality...Ra's Al Ghul.
That's it for the 16th chapter.
