Hey guys and gals, welcome back to MHA: The Value of a Thief and this time around we will be going into the proper Palace infiltration.
And I am going to be honest here, I have been dreading doing this chapter.
Mostly because I have no idea how I'll do this, because of the way I ordered the events now I can't adapt it the way the manga did.
And I can't just go back to the game because then I'll have to replay through the whole opening arc again.
But I still have to give you guys what you want, so let's just see how far I can take this.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my Oc's
Safe Room
Third person P.O.V.
"Okay, so let me see if I got that right…" Ann began as she sat on the table in front of Joker, Skull and Mona.
"We're all currently inside of Kamoshida's mind and this whole castle is how he personally see's the school." Ann then emphasised the castle-like interior they were in.
"You two accidentally ran into this place the other day after accidentally entering in some keywords into a mysterious App that showed up on your Phone" Ann continued, pointing to Joker who nodded.
"And while you were here, you met this cat-person and awakened to those Stand-like things you call Personas which change our outfits as well"
"Wait, since when did you watch Jojo-"
"AND, after what happened to Shiho and seeing that Kamoshida didn't give a shit, you decided to go back to the castle to steal his distorted desire and make him actually feel guilty for what he's doing.
"Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it." Joker nodded, crossing his arms as Ann sighed.
"Ugh, this is insane…" Ann sighed, rubbing her head when Mona walked up.
"I know this is alot to take in, Lady Ann, just take as long as you need." Mona smiled, making everyone's sweat drop.
"Uh thanks, but I'm alright." Ann nervously grinned. "You guys want to take down Kamoshida right? Then I'm in."
"Wait, really?!" The three gawked as Joker looked at her.
"I thought you would be freaking out a bit more."
"Trust me, I am, but I also just killed a buff demon sitting on a floating toilet, so I don't feel like questioning it." she sighed but had a determined look on her face, as the others nodded, "Shiho almost died because of that bastard, and he tried blaming it on me! I'm done listening to his bullshit!"
"Truly a courageous soul, Lady Ann." Mona nodded as The others continued to look at him weirdly.
"Well anyway, welcome to the team." Joker smirked, offering a hand which Ann took.
"Oh yeah, we also need to decide on a codename"
Ann gave Morgana a weird look when he said that before realising what he meant.
"Codename, oh you mean like a Hero name?" Ann asked, with Mona nodding.
"Yeah, apparently it helps to have the Palace ruler less likely to know us." Skull explained, before smirking.
"This dude's Joker, the kitty is Mona, and I'm Skull." Skull smirked, pointing to himself before looking over at Ann "As for you…how about…Sexy cat~".
"What! Absolutely not!" Ann yelled, punching his arm "Ow! OW! I was kidding jeez!"
"How about Cat Woman? Your outfit does look like the characters." Joker suggested, but Ann shook her head "No, I don't wanna just be a little cat!"
"Hmm, how about Cou-" Mona shut himself up as Ann looked down at him with an evil glare.
"You know, what! Fine! I'll come up with it myself…" Ann sighed, as she thought it over "I know how about Panther, those are pretty fierce"
"Ooh I like it," Skull grinned, as Panther looked at him smugly.
"Panther…. fierce but beautiful," Mona noted, before a grin grew on his face "Perfect for you!"
"Alright, welcome to the team, Panther." Joker smirked, as Panther nodded.
"Thanks, so what's the plan?"
"Well we need to make it a treasure. Last time I checked, it was in the castle church, which is much deeper into the castle…" Mona explained, with the others nodding.
As they walked out of the safe room, Skull leaned over to the now named Panther with a question in mind.
"So about Mona…" Skull whispered, looking at the small cat ahead of them before looking over at Panther. "When are you gonna tell him?"
"Meh, let him have his fun, not like a little crush can do any harm." Panther shrugged.
Joker raised an eyebrow at that as he followed behind them towards the door.
"Su…mi…"
Joker blinked before looking behind him to see that nothing was there. 'What was that?…Thought I heard something…"
Joker shook his head before following his friends, not knowing that someone was watching him.
She looked like some kind of ghost, with a dark navy aura around her body. She had long red hair with a pair of glasses that flashed a golden yellow behind the lenses. She was wearing an all black tracksuit with gold lining. Her body was glitching like an old TV that could barely be seen before the ghost started following them.
Opening: Flyers from Death Parade, lyrics be Leeandlie
WOAH! OH! WOAH! OH! OH! YEAH! YEAH!
In the middle of the city we see a gigantic statue of the number 1 hero All Might, however on his chest was a spray painted logo of a top hat and mask with flame coming out the eyes.
YEAH! YEAH! OW!
We then see a blur zoom past the statue, with the camera barely following its movements.
It's your haze of delusion versus reality
We see Joker running from rooftop to rooftop, with a light shining on him as several helicopters chased after him
Just keep stirring the pot to find your individuality
Arsene then flew up behind him before Joker jumped off the rooftop and grabbed his partner's Chain to help him fly.
Delete another problem that is plaguing your mind
We next see Skull running down the highway as several police cars chased after him, a wild grin on his face as he ran
From day to day! To end to end! That's entertainment of our lives
Captain kidd then sailed up and caught Skull as he cheered into the night sky, as face of pure joy behind him
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Dancing through the skies
Several paint marks were slashed at the walls, as we see Fox painting everything in the alleyway around him
Let's celebrate our time, and party while we're still alive
He then spun around as Goemon showed and blew his smoke allowing the paint to glow revealing he had painted different hero posters and stop signs.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Dancing through the skies
Panther then jumped down onto some train tracks and began dancing, as she began spinning around like a Ballerina
Kick your worries to the side and aim up to the sky.
Carmine then appeared behind her, and below a flaming tornado that spun around her as she smiled up at the beauty.
EVERYBODY! Put your hands up!
We see Queen riding on Johana with Mona on her back, as the two of them drove up an elevator through a window.
We'll be flying~ Can you imagine it?
We see a large UFO flying above the city with Oracle inside, before she tapped a few commands into it
Search and you'll find the stage set within your dreams.
The UFO then began flashing several colours like a Disco Ball that lit up the entire city.
The place where you're the one
Down below we see Noir and Milady dancing like in a ball on Shibuya crossing before the two spun around.
That's where you're meant to be!
Noir then struck a pose as Milady revealed the variety of guns below her dress.
EVERYBODY!
We then see the Thieves falling through the sky towards a variety of statues of Pro Heroes.
Put your hands up!
We see both Panther and Mona aiming firing their guns at a statue of Ryukyu which crumbled into pieces.
We'll be flying!
Then Skull and Fox quickly moved past a large statue Edgeshot, cutting it in half.
Can you imagine it?
Next we see Queen and Noir crashing, punching the large statue of endeavour into pieces.
Search and you'll find the stage you set within your dreams
In the UFO we see Oracle typing in a few more codes with a grin on her face, before snapping her fingers causing her UFO to drop a huge bomb towards the All Might statue.
The place where you're the one, that's where you're meant to be
Joker then grinned as Arsene threw him towards the bomb which he shot with his pistol causing a huge explosion of colours.
FLYIN! Within these memories!
We see the whole team of Phantom Thieves cheering at the beautiful explosion they were witnessing.
FLYING! That you're slowly forgetting!
Joker smirked before he spun around and landed towards the ground as the train passed by him.
Just listen close to the song that lies within you~
Ren then gets up in his school uniform with Morgana in his bag, before he waved to us and walked back towards the crowd of people passing by.
Soul~
My Hero Academia! The Value of a Thief!
Within the Palace
Third person P.O.V.
The infiltration started off fairly fine as the group of thieves made their way through the Palace, each room they went in was filled with Shadow wandering the place which they had to sneak past.
They even managed to get a map of the area by getting through a barred off area by pulling a chain attached to a ram head.
Eventually they did get to a roadblock since part of the spiral stairs were broken, stopping their progress.
Luckily though, Mona had stole-err, prepared a hero item to help them get up, the Grappling hook which allowed Ren to get up to the higher area while carrying the others.
As they traversed through the Palace however, Skull seemed to remember something
"Oh yeah actually" Skull realised, as he looked back over at Panther "We should probably tell ya that other thing that happens when we get like this".
"Other things? What are you talking about?" Panther asked, before her eyes widened "Wait, don't tell me we get sick or something by becoming like this!".
"No nothing like that" Joker stated, helping to calm her nerves as they continued their way through the Palace.
"When you awaken your Persona your Quirk gets powered up and completely changes" Mona explained, surprising Panther "Eh?! Really!".
"Yeah remember how my Quirk used to just let me build up static electricity, well now when a punch stuff there's like an explosion of lightning" Skull grinned, remembering what he did with that suit of armour "I wonder if it'll only work when I kick stuff".
"Wow I think I may have heard that, I wonder what my Quirk will transform into" Panther wondered, prompting Joker to look over at her "Well what is your Quirk? I've only seen it once".
"Ah I can pretty much turn sugar into a gas by swirling it in my mouth, I get the desert and don't have to worry about all the sugar" Panther smiled, with a wink.
"Huh…now I kinda get why so many girls don't like you" Joker joked, only to be slapped in the head by Mona.
"Don't talk to a lady like that idiot!" Mona yelled, making Joker grumble a bit while the not-cat looked over at Panther "Though I do admit your Quirk is unexpected, I have no idea what your Quirk could be".
"Well then why don't I try it right now?" Panther suggested, but Skull shook his head "Nah you can't Quirks get weaker the longer you stay here, so by now you probably can't use it".
"Ah what, that sucks" Panther groaned, before shrugging "Guess it can't be helped, and gotta admit besides the costumes these new powers are pretty cool".
"I wonder where they come from? I would have imagined the abilities would be closer to our Quirks but besides Ryuji's, not really" Joker wondered, as he thought back to the Persona's they had summoned.
"Like I said the Persona's are based on our idea of a rebel, that doesn't necessarily mean they have to have the same Quirks as us" Mona explained, as the others nodded before they continued moving.
As they continued on their infiltration, the group ran into the several rooms filled with several books and each one having a guard inside which made them interested in seeing what was so important that they would need a guard.
After defeating the guards however the four were left with having to search through the book shelves trying to find something that stood out.
"For real! Why do we gotta do this" Skull groaned, as he looked through the book.
"I have to agree this really doesn't feel necessary" Panther nodded, as Mona looked over at them.
"Well it's better to find out as much as we can, we might find clues on another shortcut or something" Mona stated, as they continued.
As they did, Joker looked back examining the bookcase from afar 'There has to be something in here I'm not considering…'
"Fufu, seems like you're having some trouble Trickster".
"Wha, Arsene?" Joker whispered, looking around "I didn't know you could speak to me like this".
"That is an ability only you hold my other self" , Arsene explained, before smirking "But we can talk about that later, for now though you could use some help".
"Can you help us?" Joker questioned, with Arsene laughing "Of course I can, I am the original Phantom Thief let me give you a bit of a hint, does Kamoshida really seem like the kind of person that would be reading this many books"
Joker raised an eyebrow at that before his eyes widened and he began examining the books.
"Realise something Joker?" Mona questioned, with the phantom thief nodding.
"Yeah, Kamoshida doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to read a lot so why would he need this many books? I say he's trying to hide something" Joker explained, before spotting one book that looked more used then the rest "This one…".
Taking the book out of its position to take a look, the book's title read Slave book, and opening it Joker raised an eyebrow as he saw text that was unintelligible but the pictures were definitely unsettling.
"What the hell?! These are the guys in the Hero class! Wait, what the hell!? All of the titles are boys from our school!" Skull yelled, leaning over Joker's shoulder.
"I don't see me in here though?" Joker wondered, looking at the pictures in the book as Panther looked over.
"Look at these pictures! Are these all his favourite moments of assaulting the students and watching them fail?!" Panther growled, with an annoyed look on her face.
"At least now we know what to look out for, let's take a look at the other books and see what we can find" Mona suggested, with the others nodding in agreement.
They then moved on to the other rooms to find the specific books that the guards were protecting, and each book was also disturbing.
One was named the king book and was basically a Best of Kamoshida's career as a hero while the Queen book talked about his favourite girls that he's slept with so far.
"What a pig" Panther scoffed, clear disgust in her voice as she crossed her arms.
"So why are we picking up these books? We gotta moving man" Skull questioned, as Joker looked back at him
"These books have been clearly used more than any other on the shelf, and I don't think it's because Kamoshida's shadow reads them alot" Joker explained, as Mona got what he meant.
"You're saying they might be used for something" Mona guessed, with Joker nodding.
"Oh I get it, like a key in a video game" Ryuji smiled, as Panther sweatdropped while crossing her arms.
"I don't think that's what he meant, but this place is pretty weird" Panther said, while looking around the place "I think I remember seeing some guards talking about an even bigger library nearby".
"Hmm, we might as well take a look who knows, if we find something we could even find some kind of treasure or something that'll help us out here" Mona suggested, as the others agreed before moving to the library.
When they did go to the library of course they found gaps in the book shelves, much like you'd find in a mystery movie or game.
Checking the books near the gaps allowed them to get clues into which books to place in where, but after doing this something happened that filled them with disgust.
Placing the final book in the slot, the bookshelves start moving like a door opening up revealing what looked to be some kind of Sex dungeon filled with different toys and candles, with an atmosphere that was sickening.
But the thing that shocked them the most was the room was filled with photo's of Shiho in different poses.
"I get it, the school is a place all about education and shit, but it's the place where that bastard has his 'fun'" Ryuji growled, crossing his arms.
Joker then looked over at Panther who was shaking with rage before flinching when Joker placed a hand on her shoulder "You okay Ann?".
Panther looked over at Joker with widened eyes before closing them and giving a deep sigh "Honestly I am…this just makes me want to punish that son of a bitch even more".
With a renewed determination to take down the king, and even finding a map in the room, the four thieves continued their journey until they made it to where Mona was taking them.
After travelling through a few more rooms, battled a lot more shadows with Ren even replacing some of his current Persona's with new ones and even getting some new equipment the group made it to their destination.
After resting up at a safe area nearby the four thieves walked up to a door led by Mona.
"Okay this is where I last saw the treasure, though it is odd there aren't any guards" Mona noted, as they peered through the door.
The room was shaped like some kind of church and was about the size of the school's gym with a gigantic statue of Shadow Kamoshida at the end of the room.
"Maybe he sent out the guards to go looking for us?" Skull wondered, only for Panter to give him a deadpanned look.
"Then he'd be protecting the treasure more than ever" Panther stated, as Skull sweatdropped "Hey man, could ya not give me that look".
"Yeah this does have the word 'trap' written all over it" Joker sighed, as he crossed his arms "But we do have to go in there…".
"Well yeah! Let's go rush in there who cares if a few shadows show up" Skull shrugged, but Mona glared at him.
"Don't be an idiot! What if the room is filled with golden knight guys!" Mona argued back with Panther nodding.
"He does have a point, I don't want to get surrounded by those guys again" Panther sighed, as Joker stood up.
"Then I'll go first and act as a decoy" Joker suggested, prompting the others to stare at him in surprise.
"With my ability to use multiple Persona's I have better chance at defending myself then the rest of you, while you guys go secure a route to the treasure and if it really has been moved then we can make a swift escape" Joker explained, making Mona smirk proudly.
"That's a good choice, I knew I made the right choice making you the leader" Mona grinned, crossing his arms.
"Alright but if you're in any trouble at all I'm gonna rush right in"Skull said, making Joker give a look of genuine surprise "What? I keep telling you I got your back no matter what alright".
"Same here Ren, you're nothing like the rumours called you…you helped me when I was at my worst…so I still owe you one" Panther grinned, making Joker smile.
"Thanks Ryuji, Ann"
"Okay, seriously!" Everyone blinked as they looked over Ryuji with an exhausted look on his face.
"Since when did you guys get on a first name basis! Seriously, what did I miss!" Ryuji asked, making the others laugh a bit.
However as they did we see the ghost girl continuing to watch them with a sad expression on her face before she blinked.
For a moment she could have sworn she saw Joker's Persona, Arsene watching her for a moment before she shook her head and turned away.
Meanwhile we see Ren slowly walking down the hall of the church area as he looks up at the large statue of Kamoshida above him.
"My my quite the massive ego he's got huh, Trickster" Arsene smirked, with Joker crossing his arms.
"Yeah forget King, this sicko must think himself a god" Joker scoffed, as he looked at the large statue
As this was happening, Skull, Mona and Panther climbed up the side to see where Mona had last seen the treasure.
"You dare mock the kings grand monument"
"Here we go…" Ren sighed, before looking over at a gold knight walking towards him.
"You are brave I give you that Phantom Thief, scum like you usually come in packs when they attempt to mock the king" The Golden Knight stated, pointing his sword at Ren.
"Heh, I mean why waste bringing the other for this obvious trap" Joker smirked, as he turned over at the knight "Unfortunately, I'm gonna be your only opponent now".
"Hmph very well!" The knight said, before his armour burst off revealing a man with dark skin and glowing yellow eyes wearing a more realistic knight outfit with large red wings.
"Now, die!" He then dashed towards Joker with his sword at the ready to slash at the Phantom Thief.
Joker quickly pulled out his knife and blocked the attack before he jumped back a good distance.
"Berith!" Joker yelled, as he removed his mask and summoned the blue knight Persona "Cleave!"
The Persona's horse neighed as the pair dashed towards the Archangel and thrusted its spear forward while the enemy readied his own sword.
The two warriors' weapons clashed a few times causing sparks to fly before Archangel swung it's sword at the knights side knocking towards the ground.
Joker gripped his arms where Berith was struck before it turned into flames and returned to his face forming the mask.
"Looks like I'll have to focus on looking for weaknesses" Joker growed, before blinking as he saw Archangel charge up a ball of light.
"Ah crap! PIXIE! ZIO!" he yelled, removing his mask to summon the small pixie to shoot a ball of electricity which intercepted Archangel's attack before it could hit him.
"Gotta do some damage at least" he said, as the mask returned before pulling out his gun and aiming at the Archangel making his eyes widen.
"W-Where did you get that?!" Archangel gasped, looking at the gun making Joker smirk
"A coward just like your 'king' huh? Well alright then" Joker smirked, before firing at the Shadow which he barely dodged.
"Damn it! Do it now" Archangel yelled, making Joker raise an eyebrow
"Huh, what are you-" "Trickster! Behind you!".
Hearing the voice of Arsene prompted Joker to look out of the way but he was still hit by a ball of fire causing him to fall to the ground.
"Shit" he growled, gripping his leg before looking behind him to see a large group of Shadows behind him "Where the hell did they came fro-"
Looking up Joker saw a fairly large hole from the roof of the large building making him sigh while rolling his eyes "Of course".
Joker stood up as he looked over at the Archangel who only smirked "What will you do now Thief! You're completely out numbered".
"Oh no wow, what an amazing trap I never saw this coming" Joker rolled his eyes while speaking sarcastically "Alright guys, come on out".
"MAZIO!" "MAGI!" "MAGARU!"
Suddenly from above several of the Shadows around him were destroyed by electricity, fire and wind attacks.
"So we're late!" Skull grinned, landing next to Joker as the others landed next to them too.
"Looks like I was right, they did move the treasure somewhere else, probably the vault," Morgana explained, making Panther grin.
"Then we just need to find the Vault? Easy enough" Panther smirked, readying her whip as they stared at the Shadow's around them.
"Hmph, don't think it'll be that easy you Thieves" Archangel stated, before waving his arm.
"Huh?" They all blinked, before a trap door beneath them causing the four to look down the hole for a few seconds.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" "NYAAAAAAAAA!" "SHIIIIIIIITTT!" "FOR REEEEEEAAAALLLLLLLL!" All four yelled, as they all fell through the trap door.
They were sliding down the trap door for a good few minutes while continuing to scream as they went deeper and deeper into the bottom of the Palace.
"AH! There's a light!" Panther cried, as she looked down at something shining.
"W-Wait Lady Ann! What's that smell!" Mona noticed, as they started getting a bad smell hitting their senses.
"I don't know but we shouldn't risk it! Skull when we get out, summon your Persona!" Joker stated, as his teammate.
"ARSENE!" "CAPTAIN KIDD!"
Summoning their Persona right when they all off the slide allowed the being to catch their users before falling into a large pool of Acid, with Ann landing on Captain Kidd's ship while Mona landed on Arsene's shoulder.
"Fufu, quite the exciting escape my other self" Arsene smirked, while Ren just rolled his eyes "Shut up".
"Where the hell are we?" Skull asked, as they landed down on the platform with the Persona's going back to their users.
"Looks like we're in the deepest part of the Palace, where Kamoshida keeps all of his insecurities" Mona explained, as they looked around.
"Looks creepy…" Panther shivered as she looked at the hanging cages with skeletons inside.
"Good thing there's a door here…" Joker said, looking at the door on the other side of the room before turning around to another door "Two in fact".
"What kinda door is that, looks kinda weird" Skull asked, looking at the door which had a bunch of vines wrapped around it.
"Hmm, how am I meant to know" Mona shrugged, making Skull look down at him "Seriously! How do you not know! Stupid Car"
"Because I've never been stupid enough to fall all the way to the bottom of their Palace!" Mona yelled, stomping his feet "And how many times do I have to tell you! I am not a Cat!".
"Are they always like this?" Panther asked, with a sweatdrop while Joker sighed "Pretty much".
"Alright break it up, fighting gets us anywhere" Joker said, breaking up the two "I say we take a look, if this really is where Kamoshida keeps his insecurities then we might find something we could use, what do you think".
"Hmm, bit risky but could be handy" "Okay but if it's some huge slime we are at of here" "Hahaha! Alright, let's do it".
Joker smiled and nodded before walking towards the door currently covered with vines before pulling out his knife and slicing the vines into Tiny Pieces allowing them to push the door open, but didn't expect what was behind the door.
"Oh my god" Panther gasped.
"Holy shit!" Skull gawked.
"No way," Mona gulped.
"All…Might" Joker muttered, as he saw in front of him the beaten and bloodied body of the number one here tied up by vines and currently motionless. Poster of All Might around him which were all drawn on or destroyed as they heard the echoing voice of Kamoshida mocking him.
"What the hell is the Number one hero doing here?" Skull gawked, looking at All Might's body.
"It's the real him, it's most likely the cognitive version of Kamoshida, like the volleyball team or Lady Ann" Mona explained, making Panther cross her arms in disgust.
"This is seriously what he thinks of All Might? But why, I thought they were friends back when All Might was starting out" Panther questioned, before Joker looked back at her "It's for attention".
"What?" Panther blinked, looking at Joker as his gaze was focused on All Might.
"It's the same reason why he released my record to the school, he's scared of people taking away the attention that he once had must have been even worse when he was the number 1 hero" Joker explained, making Skull growl.
"That's total bullshit! He ruined your rep in this school all because he was scared of losing attention" Ryuji yelled, and this caused some motion coming from All Might "Huh?".
"Who…are…you…?" All Might asked, stunning the Phantom Thieves except Joker "Are…you…Heroes? No…too young…and scary looking…"
"We…we are Phantom Thieves…we're here to steal Kamoshida's Treasure and force him to confess" Joker stated looking down at All Might.
"You…you need to run…he's far too powerful for you…it's better to just do what he says and hope-" "No".
All Mights eyes widened before he looked up at Joker with a determined look in his eyes.
"He's done too many things to ignore it any more, things like this…Where you can't get a hero to save you…well… life won't be able to change if you don't do it yourself".
All Might stared at Joker's eyes before smiling and looking down "Maybe you really can make a change…very well, there's a shortcut behind the painting in the main room".
His body then began glowing as the four thieves blinked before All Might transformed into a skull shaped crystal which flew into Joker's hand.
"What's going on?! What the heck was that!" Skull asked, as Joker looked at him "How am I meant to know? Is this a treasure? ".
"Kinda? It's something important its called a Will seed" Mona explained, looking at it "It's basically something grows from someone's Desire, like a sapling on a tree so while it's not what we're looking for but it should still come in handy, I didn't even think you could find it this way".
"Well that's good at least, now we know what Kamoshida really thinks" Panther crossed her arms "So what should we do now".
"Let's check the other door and find that short cut so we can-" "We should leave".
Everyone looked at Joker with surprised looks as he turned to them "We already went through a lot today, it's best to take a break and then continue tomorrow".
"He may have a point, the guards mostly think we've died in the acid pit so if we come back tomorrow then the security most likely would have gone down" Mona explained.
"Ah I get ya, lower their guard by sneaking off and coming back later" Panther smiled, crossing her arms.
"Yeah plus we got that short cut too, so we can get even farther than we were before" Skull grinned, pumping his fist.
"Alright so that's the plan, let's head out of the castle" Joker nodded, before the four of them left the room and made their way towards the exit.
Real World
Third Person P.O.V.
"Phew!" Ann sighed, as we see the three students standing outside the vending machine as they used the money they got from the monster to get some drinks "I haven't been this exhausted in a long time".
"Yeah that was the same for us when we unlocked our Persona's, normal in the castle but the moment you leave the castle it hits ya like a truck" Ryuji grinned, leaning next to the wall.
"Ugh, tell me about it" Ann groaned, rubbing her head while drinking some juice "But why are you guys still okay?".
"Not sure, maybe it's because we already went through it" Ren wondered, rolling his arm a bit.
"Well that's good at least, but make sure you take a long rest Lady Ann, we need you all at 100 percent if we want to clear the rest of the Palace '' Morgana explained, as Ann just stared at him "W-What ''.
"Nothing just, you really are a talking Cat, or I guess Not-Cat" Ann smiled, looking at Morgana "I thought you were someone who's Quirk made you look like that but I guess not".
"Speaking of which, what are we gonna do with you? Can't exactly have you staying around the school" Ren wondered, looking over at Morgana.
"I just assumed I'd be staying at one of your guys' places," Morgana shrugged, looking at the three of them.
"Not me, my place doesn't allow pets" Ryuji shook his head, while crossing his arms ``What about you Ann? Your place is pretty big".
"Can't, I'd get chewed out if I brought a stray…again" Ann sighed, looking downward.
"Guess he's all yours Ren" Ryuji grinned, tapping his arm.
"I live in a restaurant and my caretaker really doesn't seem to like me…but I guess we don't really have any other choice" Ren sighed, "Maybe we'll get lucky and he's Cat person and will let you stay in his place".
"Hey! I am not a cat!" Morgana hissed, glaring at Ren making the others roll their eyes.
"Anyway you guys wanna get something to eat?" Ryuji asked, causing Ann to perk up "Ah! Yeah I'm starving! There's this stand I've been wanting to try in Shibuya for awhile".
"Well as long as it doesn't take too long, last time I ate to eat Sakura totally chewed me out" Ren sighed, as he proceeded to text Sakura before checking his pocket and blinking "Crap".
"What's up?" Ryuji and Ann wondered, with raised eyebrows.
"I think I left my wallet back in the classroom," Ren explained, checking his bag "You guys mind waiting here".
"It's cool" Ryuji shrugged, with Ann nodding.
Ren nodded at his teammates before turning around walking back into the school.
After a bit of searching he managed to find his wallet hidden within his desk before getting up and leaving.
"Hah!".
"Hmm?" Ren blinked, as he looked out the window at someone he recognised practising in the courtyard "Huh, would you look at that."
Down in the courtyard we see Yoshizawa currently practising as she danced through the courtyard, a ribbon in her hand which twirled around to follow her movements.
However during the dance she attempted a move that caused her to stumble and fall back.
"Hah again!" she groaned, rubbing her temples "I used to be able to do it before so why can't I do it now".
She then shook her head before standing up "I'll just have to try again, I'm sure that I can-" "BOO!".
"AH!" Yoshizawa jumped, before turning around to see Ren with a big grin on his face "Hehe, got you good huh?".
"S-Senpai! Don't scare me like that" Yoshizawa pouted, punching his arm a bit making him laugh.
"Sorry sorry Sumi, couldn't help myself, so what are you doing out here" Ren asked, looking around.
"Hmm? Oh right I never told you, didn't I" Yoshizawa blinked, before smiling "I was practising my Rhythmic Gymnastics, it's like regular Gymnastics but you have to do a bit of dance in it as well".
"Ah that makes sense, you were looking pretty good at it" Ren complimented her, making the girl smile.
"Thanks! It's my dream to compete international" she grinned, before looking down "Though to be honest, I have been in a bit of a stump ever since…um…".
"Something happened?" Ren asked, as his Kouhai hesitantly nodded "You wanna talk about".
Seeing the hesitant look in her eyes prompted Ren to shrug "It's alright you don't have to, but if you ever wanna talk just say the word".
"Hehe, thanks Senpai" Yoshizawa smiled, looking up at him "You really nothing like the rumours I've heard".
"Glad to have someone on my side that's not after those tickets" Ren smiled, scratching his cheek a bit.
"Oh yeah! I remember that! You were amazing during that match" Yoshizawa complimented "To be honest after seeing you with the grappling hook, I'd call you a proper rival if we were practising the same thing"
"Hehe thanks, I used to practise Dance a bit so maybe some of it came back during the match" Ren explained, surprising Yoshizawa "Wait, you used to practise dance!"
"Yeah, I thought it would help me out with my hero training if I practised something else, but my teacher kinda refused it saying 'you need to focus entirely on my training if you want to succeed me' or some crap like that" Ren sighed, rubbing his head.
"Aw, well that's disappointing" Yoshizawa frowned, before thinking of something as she looked over at Ren "Actually Senpai I was wondering-".
"Hey Ren! What's taking so long".
The two blinked before looking over at Morgana walking towards them before blinking "Wait, who's this?",
"Aw what a cute kitty!" Yoshizawa grinned, as she picked up the Kitty and started petting him.
"W-Wha! Hey I'm not ca- actually that feels good" Morgana purred, as he let Yoshizawa pet him.
"Huh, finally your guard down huh?" Ren smirked, which confused Yoshizawa as he looked at him.
"You know this kitty Senpai?" Yoshizawa asked, as he nodded while scratching Morgana a bit.
"Yeah, me and Ryuji were taking care of him a bit when we found him on the roof guess he got kinda attached" Ren said, with a teasing smirk making Morgana grumble.
"You're the ones who got attached to me" Morgana scoffed, looking away.
"I was actually thinking of bringing him in to stay with me, especially since the weather hasn't been that great" Ren explained, as Yoshizawa smiled.
"That's great Senpai! But do you have a name?" She asked, making Ren nod "Yeah, his names Morgana or Mona for short".
"Aw that's a cute name" Yoshizawa said, as Morgana growled "WHAT! It's not cute! It's cool! And you, stop calling me Mona!".
"Really chatty kitty huh?" Yoshizawa blinked, before handing him back to Ren "I should get back to my training though, thanks for this talk Senpai I needed to relax".
"It was nothing, good luck training" Ren smiled, as she nodded before the two split up with Morgana noticing the expression on his face.
Back outside the school we see Ren and Morgana walking towards Ryuji and Ann who were talking before noticing them.
"Oh hey! There you are" Ryuji called, as Ann stood up.
"So what took you so long? It wouldn't have taken you that long to get to the class" Ann asked, crossing her arms.
Before Ren could answer though Morgana jumped on the wall with a smug grin on his face "He was talking to a girl he likes".
"WHAT!?".
"Wha- hey! Morgana it's not like tha-woah" Ren jumped, as Ann suddenly grabbed his shoulders.
"I! Need! Details! NOW!".
"Let's go talk while eating!" Ryuji grinned, grabbing his other arm as they started dragging him away.
"Guys! Seriously! Comeon, it's not like that!" Ren cried, as he was dragged off with Morgana quickly jumping into his bag.
And done, woo boy sorry that one took awhile I just had a lot of trouble writing the Palace infiltration.
I was just having a lot of trouble with it, especially with how I didn't have anything to check what the Palace was like consistently.
It shouldn't be like that for the other infiltrations, unless I alter them heavily but that shouldn't happen.
Anyway yeah what do you guys think of this story, you may be wondering who the ghost girl is well I'm going to be altering a certain character's story a bit so that the My Hero cast gets a bit more to do.
Next chapter will have a bit more character stuff as probably the characters finishing up the Palace Infiltration, so with that said lets move to the reviews.
Shadow Joestar: Well I hope her Quirk was fitting.
Leonardo18anime: There will be an original Palace in this, but I'm not certain if there will be one for the MHA one yet, mostly because I'm not sure where to place it timeline wise.
Gamelover41592: Thanks
Vein Bloodborne: Most likely not
Grand Chaos Master: I wanted to add in the scene where Ren and Ann talked, that kind just led itself too following the games infiltration.
TheBeatles211: Thanks and I'll think about that for Haru's Quirk but that's not for a while.
Guest: Thanks
Anyway with that said don't forget to review and favourite this story, as well as of course.
See you next chapter~
