"The enemy's factory is inside pyramid you two," Sonic's ear twitch at the sound of Knuckles' voice coming from the radio. At least, the one not torn into shreds. "I can send some reinforcements if you don't think you can handle it,"

Scoffing, Sonic smiles at Shadow, whose face is scrunched up in disgust, "No need Knux. The two of us is more than enough," with a laugh, Sonic speeds up faster, looking behind his shoulder to smile at Shadow. His husband smirks, before he took quickens up his pace, running besides him, "Ready to blitz the place and open up a path to the resistance, babe?"

Snorting, the two High Kings of Mobius charge, smashing into any robot in their way. The robots didn't stand a chance, their parts being sent flying in the air as they were destroyed. Stretching out his arm, Sonic grabs a pipe, wrapping his other arm around Shadow's waist and grinds against a rail, before they slide off. Shadow, flipping through the air, lands easy on his feet, holding his arms out and catching Sonic, "Awww...I heart you to Shadow," Sonic grins, nuzzling his face against Shadow's cheek. He couldn't help but snicker at the light blush on his husband's face before Tail's calls out to him.

"How's the leg holding up Sonic?"

Knocking against the metal, Sonic grins, "Holding like a charm, little buddy. And of course it would! You made it," he grins to himself, but couldn't help but stare at the leg. It was made out of the many Badniks that they broke over the years, and more importantly made out of one of Metal Sonic's legs which will support the speed that Sonic goes to. Dark blue in color with the red foot design like his shoe, it still made both him and Shard feel weird. But it worked, allowing Sonic to one more go out onto the field.

"Shadow," Sonic frowns at Sonia sighs in the radio, "Make sure that Sonic doesn't push himself too hard, ok?" He shakes his head, but doesn't say anything against that. After being held in prison by Eggman for eight years or so, his sister was allowed to be overprotective of him.

"Don't worry," Shadow stated as they finally burst into the pyramid. Bending down, he let Sonic slide out of his arms, "I'll make sure he won't push himself too hard," Sonic rolled his eyes, at this, placing his hands on his hips.

"I do not push myself," he chuckles, before his grin slowly falls into a frown. He looks at Shadow in concern, who was falling into the usual banter they always did, "Shadz? What's wrong?" he gently places a hand on the Black Arms Hedgehog's arm, giving it a gentle squeeze, "You're being really quiet,"

Shadow breaths heavily through his nose, "I...I have been feeling something," he gently points at his head, "Through the Black Arms Hive mind,"

Sonic stills, looking at his mate, his husband in concern. Looking around, he gently pulls Shadow to the side, out of the sight of any Badniks and Swatbots, "Is it Eclipse?" he gently looks at Shadow, "Please tell me he isn't trying to make a comeback,"

Shadow shakes his head, "No...it isn't Eclipse...at first I thought it was but he's more silent...numb...I think he's in hiding, or possibly using the War to gain a food force for the Black Arms that did survive," he presses his hand against his head, "No...this one...feels young...they're trying to connect to the Hive but haven't...but...they also feel like you Nicky," Sonic blinks at this, staring at Shadow with wide eyes, "When I brush against them, they feel like you...like a mix of us…"

"Shadow…" Sonic whispers, "Are you saying...that we have a child out there?"

Shadow shrugs, "I think we may...we been under lockdown for the last eight years or so...who knows what Ivo did with us...and we both know that he can get Doctor Gerald's notes easily...I never...banned him from the ARK…"

Sonic's heart thumped against his chest as he takes a deep breath, "We have a child...or we might," he swallows, "By the Ancients…" he whispers, eyes wide, "I'm a little disturb...but I'm more concern. Are they ok? Are they hurt...are they scared...Chaos look at me," he laughs, running a hand through his quills, "I know we always talked about having a child but…"

"You were always a good parent," Shadow smiles, "You raise Tails well during the First Great War...its no surprise that you want to find them and wrap them up in hug,"

"More like bubble wrap and into a nest," Sonic chuckles, his tail wagging, "But I'm guessing we can't right now…" his shoulders slump, green eyes clouded with concern, "With the war and all,"

"Maybe not right now," Shadow admitted, wrapping an arm around Sonic and pulling him into a hug, "But we have to do this step by step, not jumping into this blindly. The child, whoever they may be might be skittish and afraid if we suddenly show up, you remember how I use to be when Ivo first woke me up," Sonic nodded his head at that in agreement. "We need to make sure we have a stronger standing on the islands before we go searching for them, we also have to keep searching for Alice, Melody and Ethan,"

Sonic sighs but nodded his head, "Alright...the best way we can get started on getting a stronger standing, is destroy this weapon factory!" he grins and Shadow chuckles shaking his head.

"Then lets get to bashing some robots, Faker,"

"How many times do I have to say it. I'm not the Faker, you're the Faker, Faker," Sonic chuckles, before he runs out of the hidden corner, Shadow skating behind him.

"The hollow grounds of U.A. The school with the best Hero Training Course in the world. The place where every kid wants to go," Izumi thought to herself as she curls underneath the blanket, her nerves on fire. She trembles in a mixture of dread and nervousness, taking deep breaths trying to calm herself. "Sure...there are similar programs out there but they don't handle a candle to U.A.'s which is why its almost impossible to get in. The school's alumni list is just proof enough on how great the program is. All Might the most famous Pro there is...the legendary peacekeeper...or," Izumi frowns, thinking of Dabi, "At least to the eyes of the public. But he does have the most wins under his belt. The Fiery Hero: Endeavor. And not to mention, the Denim clad award winning marvel, Best Jeanist."

Turning around, Izumi grips tighter onto the blanket, "Graduating from U.A. is basically a requirement if you want to be a great hero in Yurashia. I mean sure there Heroes on the top who didn't go to U.A, like Hawks, as well as Mirko...but most of the top heroes went to U.A." Izumi swallows nervously, "How can I...a villain even compare...how can I hold my head up high and even dare take a step on those grounds...to even try for the ex-"

"Ma'am?" Sitting up, with the blanket covering her head, she blinks at the sight of Kitt and Eri standing in front of her open doorway, hand in hand, "Eri was having a nightmare,"

"I thought it was you having the nightmare," Eri blinks at the Fennec fox whose fur bushes up.

"S-shut it!"

Izumi smiles, slipping her blanket off before patting her bed, "Come on up you two," Blinking, Kitt gently leads Eri over to the bed, helping her up as Izumi leans down, placing her hands under the young jackal's arms and lifting her up. As Eri cuddles to one side, gently grabbing Izumi's tail in her hands, Kitt scramble over to her other side, "So nightmare?"

Eri whines, and nodded her head, "Uh huh….the Bird Man came back," she whispers as she grips onto Izumi's shirt, "He hurt Mommy…" Izumi frowns and gently pets her head. The last ten months have been better for Eri, but she still didn't smile, not once. She had started to use other ways to show her emotions, using her ears and tail. The minor twitches and wagging motions would express the five year old's enthusiasm, but she still has yet to smile. Another way to show her slow process of healing, was giving Alice the title of 'Mommy'.

Gently taking the small pup into her arms, along with Kitt, Izumi softly brought both into a warm embrace. "He won't ever hurt your mommy, your mommy would freeze his hands off before he even knew what hit him," Izumi assured, scratching behind Eri's ear.

The small jackal sniffles, bringing her hands up to wipe her eyes, clearing the tears away from her face, "Kitt had a nightmare too,"

"Drippy?"

Kitt hunches in on himself, grabbing his tail and gripping it, frowning a bit, "I still don't remember… even after we took that medicine that did away Starline's brainwashing...I don't remember my life before Starline's lab...what… what if I was made in that lab,"

"Drippy...you know Starline couldn't create life even if he was given a blueprint to do it. He didn't give you life and he didn't bring you into this world," Izumi promised as she gently patted his back.

"But… I still don't remember," Kitt sniffles, "and… and there were no files on me,"

"Remember when Ethan said that it was likely Starline took you from one of the hospitals? That way records of you were readily available and easy to erase?" Izumi gently said, rubbing circles on his back. Eri blinks at Kitt, and gently pats his head, making Kitt frown. "We'll find out who you are Drippy...I promise," she whispers.

Kitt swallows, leaning closer to Izumi and Eri stares at them as they sat there in silence, the room lightning up as the sun rose. Fidgeting a bit, Eri blinks her red eyes up at the both of them, "You two...you two are taking that big test today,"

"Yeah, Izumi whispers, the tip of her tail beginning to twitch with anxiety, "Today's the day we take the test to see if we are wirthy to get into UA," she confirms, taking in a huge breath to calm her nerves. She then blinks as Eri wiggles out of her arms, slipping off the bed and making an oof sound as she lands on the floor. Watching her, Izumi and Kitt blink as she ran out of the room, exchanging looks when she came back in, with her hands closed tightly together. Both sat up in confusion as they watch the pup wiggle her way back onto the bed, her hands still clutching the mystery thing tightly.

Blinking at them with her big red eyes, she holds out her hand, "Hold out your hands," she yips. Frowning a bit, Izumi and Kitt did so, and blink as Eri placed a bracelet in the palm of their hands. Izumi stares at the green and yellow yarn bracelet that had a little red star bead hanging off of it.

"Eri, did you make these all on your own?" the hedgehog asked kindly, looking over the intertwined threads with glowing eyes.

Eri nodded her head, "Uh huh!" her tail beginning to wag, showing how happy and excited she was, " Ethan...Ethan said you might have been...scared about the big test...so he said we should make you two good luck charms…"

"He was right," Izumi smiles as she slips on the bracelet, "They're good luck charms! I'll bet they'll give us an extra boost of confidence today!"

Kitt look at his with the blue and pink thread, a little rain drop bead attached, "You both like them?" his tail stills as Eri asked that shyly.

Cheeks burning, he slips his on, "I'm not giving it back," he huffs, crossing his arms, "Its mine now,"

Eri's ears prick up at that, and her tail began to wag faster, "I'm so happy you like them,"

Izumi smiles at her, but her head then turns over to see Ella, the large brown furred rabbit blinking at them with her blue eyes, "Well...I see that you all are awake," she smiles, "Breafast is almost ready,"

"Pancakes?" Kitt asked with interest, his ears pricked up.

"Pancakes with blueberries and strawberries," Izumi looks up at that with wide eyes and Ella smiles, "And the coffee is brewing for you and the others, Izumi,"

"Yesssssss...wait, with whipped cream and sugar?"

Ella winks at the two, before leaving the room. Rumbling with exciement, she looks down to the two smaller munchkins, "Well...let's get ready for today,"

Kitt nods his head while Eri slips off the bed, tripping a bit before running out of the room, "Going to wake mommy!"

"Tell her we said good morning too!" Izumi calls out before rolling out of the bed. She heads over to her closet, rummaging through them, looking from her casual sweats and T-shirts that stated "Shirt" in kanju to her more streamlined jogging suilt that was yellow with green stripes up the side of her legs and arms, she couldn't help but frown, "None of these will stand up to my true speed," she whispers to her self, "They'll be torn up," her hand stops, gripping onto the sleeve of the yellow and black sweater that Starline had made. Biting at her lip, she sighs, narrowing her eyes, "One last time," she stated, slipping it on and her nose twitched at the distinctive scent of washing detergent on the fabric. Shaking her head, she rummages through her dresser, pulling out the skirt and pair of pants that went along with the sweater before she tosses the skirt over her shoulder, "I'll wear the pants, but the skirt would trip me up during the Practical,"

Throwing them on, she ran out of the room, laughing as she jumps up and slides down the railing of the stairs, landing on the floor. Her laughter died when she turn around to see the stern glare from the black feather crane, Tanaka, "I believe Master Toshi warned you about running in the house, Young Izumi,"

Izumi pouts, "Oh come on! I'm just having some fun!" she grins, walking around the crane, "Though I doubt you know anything about that," she barks out a laugh, heading to the kitchen to avoid Tanaka's ire.

"I'm getting a sense of deja vu," Melody spoke as she sipped her tea. "I remember Uncle Sonic doing a similar thing when he visited mine and my parents' home,"

"Yeah didn't your mom karate chop his head?" Ethan mumbles, as he messes with the wires of the computer. Izumi hums, grabbing her mug and pouring some coffee in it, sticking her tongue out at Dabi who grimaces as she grabs the milk and whip cream from the fridge and the sugar from the cabinet.

"Blasphemous," Dabi snorted, ducking away from Izumi's tail that she swung at him.

"Just because I like my coffee tasting sweet does not make it blasphemy!" she screeches, glaring daggers at the burnt fur tiger. Ignoring his chuckling she turns towards the wonderful smell of the strawberries and blueberries being cook, looking hungrily as the pancake batter was being poured into the skillet, "So tasty," she murmured, reaching down to lick some batter.

She then yips, when her ear was grabbed, "Ow ow ow! Ella!" Izumi whines as she was pulled away.

"No licking the batter, Izumi," Ella warned, giving her a look, "This batter is to make the pancakes to fill your belly, not to be eaten raw,"

"But it smells good!" Izumi whines, crossing her arms over her chest.

Alice smiles as she enters the kitchen with Eri in her arms, "Ella is right, Izumi. You wouldn't want to get sick today,"

"No…" Izumi huffs, a frown on her face, "Where's Toshinori?"

"He went in early," Ethan said grumbling and his eye twitching as the monitor turned red, before once more shutting off, "Guy still had a few bits of paperwork to turn in, but he'll be all set in time for the first day of school,"

Alice shakes her head, a soft smile on her face as she sets a plate of cut apples in front of Eri, "We'll be leaving soon too, while Melody and I aren't going to be part of the judges, I still have to watch the Exams to see who my new students will be,"

"Well you already know two," Ethan snickers, pointing at Izumi and Kitt, who had just slip into the chair besides Izumi, both grabbing three pancakes each.

"That is I pass," Izumi mutters.

"I know you both will pass," Alice smiles assumingly, "And that's not just because of us being teachers. Its because we have witnessed you and Kitt grow during these last several months,"

"But what if they find out about Starline,"

"They never stop me from being a hero," Tenko said, grabbing a few pretzel sticks from the bag, "And they knew I accidentally killed my family,"

Izumi hums at this, biting at her lip. She didn't have time to think about it before Ethan lets out a screech, bringing out a baseball bat from somewhere, "I SWEAR TO CHAOS IF YOU DON'T FREAKING BREAK ALREADY I'M JUST HIJACKING THE HERO COMMISSION TOWER!" blinking, Izumi watches as Melody walked over, grabbing the baseball bat out of his hands and calming him down.

But before Izumi knew it, she and Kitt were at U.A, walking up to the checkout desk. The black panther, his rosettes seeable in the sunlight shimmer. His black eyes looked up at the two of them tiredly, his whole posture making it clear that he wanted to be anywhere else but here, "Name?"

"Izumi Midoriya and Kitsunami Prowler," because Kitt didn't remember his past, Melody and Alice assured him that Tails wouldn't mind Kitt using his last name for any and all paperwork he needed to do, at least until he regain his memories. It took a lot of convincing, though it was much easier for Kitt to agree than it was for him to agree to use Izumi's last name, even though she had offer many times.

The black panther hums, typing into the lap top before nodding his head. He grabs to IDs, and passes to them, though he frown a bit at Kitt, "You two are in testing room 3, under the eyes of Ectoplasma. Once done with the written exam, you will be led to the auditorium where you will be given instructions on the pratical," he ratted out with a drawl, clear to see that he been saying the same thing over and over again. "Also," he narrows his eyes at Izumi, before holding out his hand, "I will need that necklace,"

Izumi's eyes widen, and her hand went up to grasp at her crown necklace, the last thing her mother got her and that had the shard of the Master Emerald attached to it. "There is nothing logical about you looking pretty for an exam as important as this. You will have it return to you at the end of the exam,"

Sighing, and seeing no way to explain that the necklace, or at least the shard was for medical reasons, Izumi slips it off, handing it to the panther. The panther took it swiftly, and put it into the pocket of his pants, before waving them off.

Kitt looks up at her in concern as they walked through the entrance gate of U.A, grabbing her hand tightly, "Ma'am?"

"I'll be fine Drip," Izumi gently whispered, turning to him with a smile on his head, "Won't be anything different right? I'll keep an eye on my levels and when I go low, I'll make sure I charge up,"

Kitt frowns, "You shouldn't have to charge up!" he stated, "That's why Alice gave you the shard,"

Izumi sighs, and opens her mouth to reassure Kitt that she will be fine when a roar was shouted behind her, "Get out of the way Deku!" flinching slightly, Izumi turns her head to see Bakugou, the lion's lip curled to show sharp fangs, his red eyes narrow at her, "Or I'll set you on fire!" Swallowing, Izumi grabs Kitt by the shoulders, and pulls him out of the way, squeezing them gently when she noticed that his eyes were glowing at Bakugou as he walked by them.

"I don't like him ma'am...I really don't"

Izumi sighs, "Yeah...I don't like him too," staring at Bakugou's back, Izumi can't help but think about how for the last ten months she been avoiding him. Luckily there paths didn't cross as much as Toshinori's mansion was in the more...rich section of Musutafu. Though while the Bakuous were a rich family, Mitsuki being a model and Marasu Bakugou being a fashion designer, they weren't that rich as the number one hero. Though, whenever Izumi was heading or leaving the beach, she always have to be careful to make sure Bakugou wasn't around. Though the few times they did cross paths, Izumi was able to use her speed to avoid him, and his mother, not wanting to speak to the lioness. She knew that the woman, if she saw Izumi, would try to convice her to live with her, as she was her godmother, and from what Tsukacuchi tells them when he visited, was still causing his station problems because she was denied guardianship.

Shaking her head and psuhing the thoughts of the Bakugous out of her mind, she straighten her shoulders, "Just calm down Izumi...and remember all the work you done with Toshinori and Gran Torino. Thanks to everyone...you're actually going to be a hero," she goes to take a step but trips instead, her body starting to fall forward, "Or I can just die,"

Kitt yelps and was about to bring out water to grab her and stop her fall, when a dark purple shadow beat him to it, grabbing Izuku and halting her descent. Blinking, Izumi stares at the pupiless but yellow glowing eyes that were staring at her curiosity, "Are you alright? Unhurt? Oh your fluffy," Izumi's face burns at that but before she could speak a squawk was heard.

"Dark Shadow!" a voice scolds as Izumi was gently set down onto her feet, turning her head to stare at the hawk with black feathers covering his body and silver feathers covering the front of his torso. Hia hair was style like a mowhawk with dark purple tips. His red eyes were glaring at the shadow-like bird that seem to be attached to his stomach, his golden beak set in a frown. For attire he wore white gloves, just like everyone else, but had silver rings wrapped around the cuffs of his wrist. In fact he also wore a second pair on the middle of his arms. A red choker was wrapped around his neck and he wore purple, black shoes that went to his knees. In his left hand, was a black and silver Extreme gear. Those brilliant red eyes turned to look at Izumi and for a moment, the hedgehog thought he was blushing. "I'm sorry about him. Dark Shadow often acts on impulse. I should have had more control over him and reeled him back in,"

"But Fumi! You wanted reach out and catch her too! You even reached your arm out!" the purple shadow whines, trying to defend itself.

Izumi waves her hands, a soft smile on her face, "No1 No its fine! I mean it, honestly. You saved me from kissing the ground,"

"You helped her," Kitt spoke up, looking at the new boy and his Quirk, "Not many would do that for those they don't know.

"Well, we're not like most people," Dark Shadow declare proudly, "And what kind of heroes would we be if we didn't help someone in need?"

Izumi smiles shyly before laughing a bit, "This is so nerve wracking," she rubs the back of her neck, her foot twitching on the ground, "I...guess I'll see you inside...good luck in the exam you two!" grabbing Kitt's arm she gently pulls him to the door of the school.

Izumi took a deep breath hours later, leg twitching as she sat in the auditorium besides Kitt. The exam had been...pretty easy. Though her and Kitt didn't have the most normal education, Starline did make sure that they had a good education. Though Izumi knew that Kitt had it easier, with him being smarter than a super computer. Now though they sat in the darkness, watching as a yellow feather cocaktoo walked onto the stage. His head feathes were long, spiked upwards in a large tuft behind his head. He wore a black leather jacket with a very tall collar, upturned and complete with studs. Spotting tan shoulder pads with a red belt and matching elbow pads, all studded and black gloves. Around his neck was a directional speaker, that matched the headphones he wore. They couldn't see his eyes, as he wore orange sunglasses.

"What's up U.A candidates! Thanks to tunin' into me, your school DJ. And lemme hear ya!" Present Mic shouted, trying to get their blood pumping and to relax. But no one made a sound, all to nervous. Trying to not fidget at that, the cockatoo huffs, and opens his mouth to contuine when a scream was heard.

"FUCK YEAH!" Izumi cries out, throwing her hands in the air. Kitt blinks before copying her, giving out a very small, "Woohoo,"

Present Mic smiles, pointing at her, "Thank you for showing the spirit little listener. And with that, let's get straight to the main show. Let's talk about how this Practical exam is gonna go down okay?" Izumi sat down, smiling to herself when she saw of the other kids around her relax, the tension in the room somewhat leaving. "Like your applications said, today you rocking boys and girls will be out there conducting a ten-minute mock battles in super hip urban settings. Grid your loins, my friends. After I drop the mic here, you'll head to your specified battle center, which are printed on the ID you were given! Sound good? Okay?" As Present Mic explaid the test, the screen behind him changes to show the different battle centers.

Izumi brings up her ID, frowning a bit. It had her name, a picture of her, her examine number and her test location, which was Battle Center B. Looking over to Kitts, his was the same, but his test location was Battle Center A. "I see. They're splitting us up so we can't work with any of our friends,"

"That sucks," Kitt mumbles, lightly glaring at his ID. But he looks up with a soft smile as Izumi patted his shoulder.

"Now then, lets check out your targets?" Both Izumi and Kitt looked back to Present Mic, "There are three types of faux villains in every battle center. You'll earn points base on their level of difficulty, so better choose wisely. Your goal in this trial is to use your Quirk to raise your score by shredding these faux villains like a mid-song guitar solo. But check it out!' he raises a finger, pointing at them in warning, "Keep things heroic, attacking other examinees is a UA no-no, ya dig?"

Izumi and Kitt's eyes widen when the screen shifted to show three types of faux villains, "Robots? We are fighting robots?" Izumi whispers before her mouth cracks into a wide grin. Turning her head to Kitt, whose eyes were glowing, "We so have this in the bag. This is just a normal day of training for us?"

Kitt nodded his head in agreement, but his head snaps over as a voice calls out. "Excuse me sir, but I have a question," one applicant calls out suddenly, raising their hand.

Present Mic nodded his head, "Hit me!" and a spotlight shines on the boy. They were a dark blue fur cheetah. He was very tall, with a wide frame, and had short dark blue hair flattened neatly down and parted on the right side of his head. He had white muzzle fur that was tufted on each side, and with two dark black stripes going down it, which matched that black spots that painted his fur. He had a serious expression on his face, his blue eyes narrow at Present Mic, "On the printout, you've listed four types of villains, not three. With all respect, if this is an error on the offical UA materials, it is shameful," Izumi raises an eyebrow at this, leaning into her seat, "We are exemplary students. We expect the best from Yurashia's most notable school. A mistake such as this won't do. Additionally, you with the unkempt quills!" he swirl around, pointing at Izumi and making her blink, "You and that fox have been muttering this entire time. Stop that. If you can't bother to take this seriously, leave. You're distracting the rest of us,"

Izumi huffs at this, tilting her head, staring at him...before she blows out a rasberry at him, making him sputter. "Oi calm yourself down before you lose your fur to all the stress," she crosses her arms, before looking around the others who sat beside her and Kitt, "Is me and Drippy bothering anyone with our talking? Because I find it strange that a person sitting two rows in front of us is more annoyed than someone sitting beside me," she turns her head towards the other boy who sat beside her. The dog mobian, who looked look like a lab, but had the fuzzy ears of a retriever blinks his yellow eyes at her, "And I being annoying to you,"

"Uhhh," his eyes flicker about, before he shrugs, "Not really," he admitted, running his hand through his blonde hair that had a black stripe through it, "I hardly even heard you,"

"So he's being rude," Izumi turns her gaze back at the other boy, smirking as others began to laugh around them, "Also...you didn't wait for Present Mic to finish explaining you nimrod. :"He was still going over the details, hasn't even ask us if there were any questions and you decided to complain about the fourth villain that he hasn't reach yet. It might be different than the other three faux villains and he didn't want to lump it with them,"

"Alright that's enough you two," Present Mic waves them to settle them down, "And the little lady is right, I wasn't finished yet," the other bouy flinches, his face burning red as he slowly sat back down, "The fourth villain is worth zero points. That guy is just an obstacle we'll be throwing in your way. There is only one in ever battle center. Think of it as a hurdle you should avoid. Its not that it can;t be beaten..but there's kinda no point in it," he shrugs.

"Oh I get it. So they're kinda like traps you have to get by in games,"

"This whole thing's kinda like a video game,"

"That's all I got for you today. So I'll sign off with a little present. A sample of our school motto! As general, Napoleon Bonaparte once laid down. "A true hero is one who overcomes life's misfortune," mmhm, now that's a tasty soundbite. You ready to go beyond?" he grins, leaning down a bit, "Lets a here a Plus Ultra! Good luck, I hope you practiced hitting more than books!"

Izumi's eyes narrow as she stretches a bit, keeping an eye on the giant doors of the Battle Center she was assigned to. The boy who had called her out was eyeing her but when Izumi raises an eyebrow at him, he turns his head away from her. Snorting, Izumi stretches her arms out, and cracking her neck.

"Alright! Lets start!"

Blinking at this, Izumi saw the doors beginning to open, and she leans down, pressing her knuckles against the dirt. The other applicants looked iup at the top of the wall with a stunned look on their faces to see Present Mic staring down at them, before a green blur ran by them, making them screech and cover their faces to stop the bits of dirt hitting them, "There are no countdowns in real life! Get moving like that other girl did!"

Izumi race into the city, already far ahead of the others, but she could hear them yelling and trying to catch up with her. Grinning, she turns a sharp corner, spotting a pack of one pointers, and curls into a ball, just as she crashes into them, causing a cloud of dust to rise. Before long Izumi was standing among the piles of scrap she created, "Too easy," she whispers, before she cut loose, darting around the mock city and ripping into the arm of a two pointer with her quills and tearing it off as if it was butter. Exiting the spindash with a jump, and calling forth One For All to spread through her, allowing green lighting to dance across her body, slammed her foot into the head of the robot crushing it.

"Just remember, no acting like All Might...don't let my admiration of him shackle me," Izumi though to herself, remembering the lessons Gran Torino taught her.

In a darkened room, Melody and Alice looked onto the screens that displayed dozens of different camera feeds. Both of them were trying to watch the other applicants, but there eyes kept moving toward Izumi and Kitt, who were both doing well.

"Clearly, the examinees have no idea how many villains are present, or their location," Principal Nezu softly spoke, "With them having a limited time, and must cover a vast area to hunt down every target, there true potential is show as they try there hardest,"

One of the screens show a dark purple cat, tentacles emerged from his back and produce at each tip of them, was an eye and ear, to scout for more robots. Another screen showed a yellow fur mongoose with chin length dark purple hair and was appeared to be auxiliary cables extending from her earlobes. Which were plugged into the asphalt below her as she listens closely, "Some use information gathering abilities to plan out strategies,"

"While others rely on speed to pull ahead of their peers," While one feed showed Izumi racing across the testing sight, slamming into another robot, another screen showed the boy that had called her out, with what look like exhaust pipes emerging from the lack of his legs, kicking his leg out to making a three-pointer shatter.

"Of course remaining calm under the pressure can be a huge advantage," a coyote, wielding a sword cleaves through a robot easily while Kitsunami, with a calm expression on his face, uses the water from his hydropack to grab a three-pointer and fling it into a group of one pointers.

"As can pure power and combat ability," Melody frowns at the sight of the Bakugou boy, surrounded by piles of robots with a feral grin on his face. Smoke rose from the palm of his hands, as he charges through, slamming it into the face of one robot and exploding it, white a black-shell armadillo wraps his arms around another examinee, using his shell to cover them.

"The most successful students use a combination of all these tatics," Nezu smiles, "Those are the ones who rack up the highest scores,"

"Hmmmm I say this year's group looks promising," a purple feather peacock chuckles, her pink train feathers fluring out as she leans forward. Melody frowns at her, leaning against the wall and shaking her head.

"Still plenty of time before its over," the Pro Hero Snipe, a red scaled snake wearing an old school gas mask pointed out. He then turns his gaze to Eri who was watching the screens with wide eyes. He chuckles at this and Alice gives Eri a small smile, wrapping her arms around her as Nezu hit the big red button to release the Zero Pointers when the echidna-bat stilled. A deep anger rolled down her spine as Aizawa walked in, his gray eyes gazing at the screens in disappointment and disgust.

"Enough...you hurt her enough, give it back! Give it back! When I kill you then my deed is over, you will die here and now. Escape is not allowed!" Alice turns her head, to see Chaos, or at least his spirti form glaring down hatefully at Aizawa. Tensing, Alice picks up Eri and place her on the seat, before walking over to him.

"Why...do you have Izumi's necklace?" the panther blinks, while Melody's head snaps over to them, her blue eyes wide.

"How do you," he shakes his head, a frown on his face, "I took it because she doesn;t need it," he pulls out said necklace, Melody pushing herself off the wall, "There no reason for her to have it, not logical for having something as jewelry for a Practical Exam.."

"You idiot!" Melody snaps, blue flames erupting onto her hands, "She needs the shard that's attached to the necklace!"

Aizawa blinks at this, frowning and Alice took a step forward, "The shard, is a shard of the Master Emerald. I gifted it to Izumi because it helps her replenish much easier from a direct source of Chaos Energy. Without it she can drain and that could lead to her death!"

"Shit," they all snap there heads at Power Loader, the mole was typing in commands, "One of the Zero pointers is malfunctioning. Its not stopping for a student that got caught under some rubble," Toshinori stood up at that, beginning to bulk up when a green blur ran onto the screen, bypassing the student that whose leg was stuck under some rubble. They all watched with wide eyes, as Izumi covered in green lightning, ran towards the Zero Pointer. Dodging the hand it threw down at her, she leaps up, running across the side of a building before pushing herself off, smashing into the Zero Pointer's leg, landing on the building on the other side, bouncing off the wall to get higher. She did this repeadly, soon no one could see the Zero Pointer, just a bright green light that shine in the center of the city before there mouths drop as they found Izumi soaring in the air, curling into a ball and descended down towards the robot's rectangular head, striking it dead on center..

Even though there was no sound from the screens, they knew it must have been thundorus, as the robot's face craterd. Unable to stand the sheer force of Izumi's spindash, the Zero Pointer fell backwardsm explosions bursting from its entire body.

Both Melody and Alice couldn't help but smile, and even Toshinori grin at the sight of his sucessor. But then they all pale, as Izumi began to rapidly descend towards the ground, clearly uncounsious. Alice snatches Izumi's necklace from Aizawa and spread her wings, flying towards the Battle Center, praying that she will be there in time to give the shard back before it was too late.

Ochaco had thought she had been doing well today. First she made it in time and was able to get some breakfast before all the other who live in Mandalore Orphange. While it wasn't a too bad of a place to live in, it was ver overcroweded, homing many children who lost their parents due to the war with Eggman, like Ochaco. But Matron Satine, had made sure that Ochaco would had a filling breakfast for this important day.

The day she was to take the Entrance Exams for U.A. She had wanted this for as long as she remember...well maybe not U.A. Originally, Ochaco had lived on the island, Camelot Island, Seaside City, with her parents. But when the war had began, she lost everything, her home, her dreams to go Freedom Fighter Academy, the hero school on Camelot Island, and her parents. Like many children who were saved by the resistance and was too young to fight, she was shipped off to the continents, to Yurashia. Now her goal was to get into U.A, get her license and go back, to join the fight..

and she had been doing so well, using her gift, Zero Gravity, to make the robots float and crash, imagining them as Eggman robots...when the Zero Pointer had emerged and the rubble that was once was part of the street had fallen onto her leg, trapping her as the Zero Pointer drove towards her, and didn't seem to about to stop or change its path, Many had ran by her, not even noticing her or didn't care to help. She didn't blame them, they probaly thought it was a test and that the heroes wouldn't allow someone to die...but Ochaco knew that robots could malfunction and she didn't want to risk it.

She had been about to push through her nausea and make the slab of concrete float, hurling be damn, when a green blur had ran by her. Her mouth was dropped in awe as she saw a hedgehog who reminded her so much of High King Sonic and High King Shadow, easily destroy the Zero Pointer...but not the flying squirrel watched in concern as the girl was falling, and even looking unconscious.

Swallowing back the bile that she could taste in her mouth, Ochaco finally reached the concerte, slapping her hand against it and making it float. Groaning as she takes a deep breath, she pushes herself up, hands wobbly, before she turns towards the cheetah, recognizing him from when he interrupted Presnet Mic, and as the other speedster, "Hey! I need you to throw me!" she ignore how the boy sputter at this, tapping her fingers together. She took a deep breath in releif as the rubble dropped to the ground before she press the pads of her fingers against her face, her face scrunching up as her stomach churns, but she shake it off, "I used my Gift to make me weightless, throw me in the air so I can catch that girl,"

"Throw you? I can not throw-"

"She is about to splat on the ground and unless you have a second gift that can stop her, then shut up and fucking throw me!" Ochaco didn't mean to snap at the cheetah, but she was holding everything in to not hurl her breakfast up. The boy stares, before he nods his head, grabbing her and picking her up without any effort, and without evening aimming he ran forward before chucking her into the air.

Ochaco narrows her eyes in determination, and spreads her arms, extending her fly flaps to glide herself directly to the girl. Slamming into her, she wrapped her arms around her, holding her tightly as the towards the ground, and the flying squirrel forced herself between the green hedgehog and the ground, holding her breath as she braces herslef.

It didn't stop the pain as they slammed into the ground, her back cushioning the fall. Ochaco gritted her teeth in pain, feeling some glass from broken windows pierce her back, but she takes another deep breath and she gently releases her hold on her savior, gently pressing her fingers together, "R-release.." she groans out, her face turning the same green as the other girl's fur and she lurched to the side, hurling her breakfast onto the floor next to her.

Gasping for breath, and ignoring how an alarm blared, signfying the end of the exam, flopped onto her belly. Wheezing a bit, she turns her head to see that the other was still unconscious, pale, but looked to breathing normally, "I...I hope I make it in...because...I think I would like to be your friend," she whispers but then she frowns, "Though...I don't know your name..I guess I can call you Green for now," she giggles, before she slowly closes her eyes due to her own exhaustion.

7k...this chapter is 7k words...gods I am so so happy for this, you all have no idea...and it was suppose to be longer! I had it planned that Izumi would had met Sonic and Shadow through the video call because Ethan finally got through the firewall...but I relaize it was too soon, and it will give more more stuff to write for the next chapter. But still, very long long chapter...I do hope you all enjoy...and we got some others of UA here.

I hope you like what I had for iida and uraraka...him being a cheetah and her being a flying squirrel, I thought it fit perfectly for them.. I wonder if you guys got any hints of class 1-a that I had hinted in this chapter but did not name.

Also remember this has aizawa bashing...this fic is kinda a call out for all the dad aizawa fics that just love to bash Toshi...Toshinori doesn't need to be bash...is he a bad teacher? yes but he is learning and trying his best. ANyway, Toshinori is donut lord!

Anyway hope you all enjoy! Please leave a review!
