Mushroom University
Class 1-3: Warp Pipe Theory 101.
After the Mario Brothers went to find the warp pipe hidden in the Desert lands Toad find himself becoming stumped into his research of the mysterious warp pipes and why so little was known about them if the exception of what he had already told the two plumbers.
Being stuck in his research a new assistant to the Princess named Toadette informed him of a professor at the local University that teaches a class on this very subject.
And so here he was standing in the class hall watching students leave to go onto their next classes. Might be Power Up Physics or Box coin Finacial studies if he were to guess.
At the front of the class cleaning the white board was Professor Morel.
Morel was the University's oldest teacher and leading authority on warp pipe science and theory. Completing his task of cleaning the board he turned to see Toad standing and waiting patiently. " Ah Toad. I was told you'd be wishing to speak with me. How can help you."
"Thank you for your time Professor." Spoke Toad "I'm researching into the warp pipe's scattered across the different lands that a similar to the one that brought the Mario brothers here."
"Ah I see. Well what would you wish to know?" ask Morel stroking his moustache.
"My question is why are the pipes so difficult to understand? If you enter the mushroom kingdom warp pipe from the mushroom kingdom you'll end up in what the Mario brothers call Brooklyn. But if you enter it from the Brooklyn side you can end up anywhere in the lands from the mushroom kingdom to the Darklands and even the Jungle land." Enquired Toad.
Morel nodded "An indeed an interesting question. No one truly knows how the warp pipes came to be or why they work the way do. However I have a theory on half of your question if you care to hear it."
Toad nodded as he pulled out a notebook "Anything is better than nothing."
"Well then. If you were to enter a pipe from we'll say the Brooklyn side for example. You end location is determined by one of two things. Where you imagine you're going which is how we use it to get around the Brothers do aswell. Or on how you feel?" Explained Morel
This made Toad pause and raise a brow as he looked up from his notebook "How you feel?"
Morel continued "Yes. As I said to you it's just a theory. But if you recall the stories of when the Moustached humans first arrived they got separated. Mario arrived in the mushroom kingdom. Luigi arrived in the Darklands."
"Luigi was in a state of pure fear of being not only separated from his brother but caught inside a warp pipe that he never knew existed. Fear is a dark mindset which naturally lead him to the Darklands."
"Mario however was feeling more determined. He was on a mission to try and save his brother up until their point of separation. But the determined mindset is considered sometimes a heroic feeling and so would lead him to the mushroom kingdom."
Toad wrote down what he could when a thought came to mind "What else is considered a Dark mindset?"
Morel Shrugged "Could be anything from anger, frustration, jealousy. Or even just outright pure hatred."
The Darklands
"What the hell is this place." Grumbled Shigaraki as he walked away from the giant green pipe and look around the dead tree covered , black skied, grey dirt covered landscape with random large pools of boiling lava.
"Hell actually seems like an accurate description on the place." He thought out loud.
Despite the doom and gloom of the new environment. Shigaraki felt strangely at home in this place. That was until a figure started walking towards him.
The figure was walking slow at first until it got into eye sight of the young villian and began running towards him with a small roar and snapping its mouth. Tomura narrowed his eyes as he identified the creature as a giant turtle skeleton.
"I'm not in the mood for this crap." He groaned as the skeleton got close enough for him to kick hard enough that the thing tumbled apart on impact. With an eye roll the villian turned his back to the scattered bones and began to continue exploring his surroundings.
But the sounds of rattling bones recaptured his attention and followed the sound looking over his shoulder to see the turtle skeleton rebuild itself with a dozens more just like it appear. Once reput together the skeleton charged at the red eyed man again with another small roar with the other skeletons following.
It leaped toward Shigaraki in an attempt to attack him but the young villain managed to react in time to grab the creature by the spine of the neck. The creature lashed out and continued to snap its mouth at Tomuras face as the rest of the skeletons gathered around him watching.
Tomura narrowed his eyes around at the other skeletons and finally tightened his grip on the one in his hands with all of his fingers wrapped around it.
The eyes of the undead turtle widened as the quirk began to take its affect and the boney beast let out a horrific screech of pain is it began to decay and turn to dust infront of his comrades. The rest of the skeletons stepped back in a mixture of shock and horror at what they were witnessing.
With nothing left in his hand Shigaraki let his arm drop back down to his side. "Alright... who's next?"
Hosu Hospital
After Endeavour and Gran Torino found the burnt and bloody corpse of the dead Nomu they returned to the others and began the process of dealing with the authorities aswell as the media after word quickly spread of Stains capture.
Knowing that four of those involved were unlicensed UA students. Each pro hero who had a work study student part of the incident simply said they will talk with police to get an understanding of what happened before an official statements are released.
So Izuku sat back in hospital bed opposite Iida since the two of them were the only 2 of the 4 UA students that got seriously injured in all that happened. In that moment was when Todoroki, Nejire and Koopa came into the room.
Before Izuku could say anything Todoroki beat him to the punch "We're here to check on you two. And also we were told we needed to be here."
"You needed to be here? Why?" Questioned Iida as he adjusted his glasses.
Koopa shrugged "No idea. But Ryukyu is talking outside with the pro heros you guys are interning with except for Endeavour."
Before the students could even begin to go into an in depth conversation about the subject the door behind the three that just entered and opened. Todoroki and Nejire stepped back to stand beside Iida's bed whilst Koopa stood beside Izuku's as the pro heroes and another figure entered the room that appeared to have a dog appearance quirk.
"Kids this here is the Hosu Police commissioner." Announced Gran Torino as he leaned against his cane. Izuku and Iida moved to get out of their beds to show respect for the older gentleman until he raised his hand and stopped the pair.
"Please no need to get up... woof."
woof?!
The boys remained in their beds but stayed sitting up right as the police commissioner looked them over. "Im happy to see you all doing well after last nights incident. However we can't ignore the fact you broke the law."
All students eyes widened at that but Koopa was the first to say something. "We didn't break the law. We just stopped the hero killer and saved our friends. We're hero students after all."
The commissioner looked at her unamused "Are you not aware of the fact that to do any hero duties you are required by law to hold a license."
That made the blonde pause and gulp nervously as the situation seemed to start going south as the commissioner proceeded "We have laws and rules for a reason. There was a time when the average person could use their quirks freely but it was proven to be quite chaotic."
"That's why we have the laws we have and the hero community go through vigorous testing to become licensed."
"Regardless of all that what were we supposed to do?! Just let Iida and Native die?!" Snapped Todoroki.
The commissioner then turned to the hot cold quirk user "And just because your motives are justified you feel that the law doesn't apply to you?"
Todoroki gritted his teeth about to snap again until the Commissioner continued speaking "Fortunately you all had a license hero on hand for Stains capture."
The commissioner and pro heros all turned to Nejire making the blue hair girl squeak in surprise at the sudden attention.
"The media and everyone doesn't need to know the exact details of how stain was captured. They'll only need to a partial truth which is that he was defeated by you Nejire. My agency will then take on the media along side the police." Explained Ryukyu.
Izuku nodded thinking out loud."She did technically take him out with a hard blow when she arrived on scene."
"She's already known as one of UA's big three along with being an Intern for Ryukyu's agency. If everyone in this room is in agreement then Nejire will take full credit for Stains capture. Which will the rest of you four won't be able to take the claim due to risks and backlash you might face for being unlicensed." Spoke Torino
Nejire gulped nervously as she processed everything said "I don't know. It doesn't feel right to take credit when the others did more of the fighting then I did."
Torino stood before the young heroine and leaned on his cane "I understand your predicament. But if word gets out about the full details about what really happened then these kids Hero careers will be over before they even start."
"It's a huge responsibility we're burdening you with." Ryukyu said to her young intern "If you need time to think this over then we understand."
Nejire nodded and looked down at the floor processing all she could but the police commissioner grabbed everyone's attention "Before any decision is made. I'd very much Ike to give you all my gratitude for what you done. Although you might not get the fame of what you achieved you'll always have my respect and thanks."
With that the police commissioner bowed to the Students with the rest of the Pros in the room following his lead.
Mario and Luigi sat out in the hall waiting for Bowsette to return from visiting her classmates. After they both rescued Midoriya the ended up at the Hosu police station to give a statement on what happened.
Which resulted in them both being arrested for Vigilantism since neither are licensed. But closer look showed they merely intervened in rescuing and that really isn't a crime. Negotiations from their family lawyer in Brooklyn with the Hosu police took time.
But eventually were released on bail. So now they can finally talk to Bowsette and bring her back to the mushroom kingdom.
Unaware of the turn of events that will affect both worlds and our heroes.
