Hey, guys! Here is the second chapter of Omega War Chronicles! Finished after a week of unpacking and building, the four groups decide to have fun at a local indoor swimming pool! Enjoy!
Chapter 2 - Summer Swim Party
Heights Alliance II, 141 Cambridge St., Boston
"Man, that sure was hard work." Kaminari said, laying lazily on one of the common room couches next to an exhausted Jaune and Joco.
A week has passed since the four groups, now called the "Rebel Knights" started coming together in their mission to fight against Venus and his new forces, with their first order of business having taken care of setting up their base.
It looks strikingly familiar to the Heights Alliance from Class 1-A's world, down to the last detail.
There are some exceptions with that it now has about seven floors instead of five, the top five being bedrooms and other facilities, the first floor being the common area, and the second floor all classrooms; along with an courtyard having a memorial stone to honor the fallen, a greenhouse for plants and other organic foods, and an outside amphitheater for entertainment in the middle.
"It's kinda funny this is like the old dorms back home." Kirishima commented.
"Yes. Quite the resemblance." Tokoyami said.
"I bet the place in your world has the same flare, huh?" Horohoro asked.
"You bet." Todoroki said, playing a game of Old Maid with Tenya.
"Heya, fellas!" Mina hollered.
The female members of the Rebel Knights appeared after walking through the front door.
"You girls are back? Where were you all going that it had to be a secret?" Ryu asked.
"Well, since it took us a week to get everything set up…" Yang began.
"We have something fun to do as a reward!" Sachi hollered.
"Like what?" Kouga asked.
"Going to a swimming pool!" Ruby, Ochaco and Nora demanded in unison.
This caught most of the boys by surprise.
"Wha?" The boys asked in unison.

255 Medford Street, Boston
"CANNONBALL!" Souma, Sachi, Horohoro, Pirica, Kirishima, Kaminari, Mina, Yang and Nora shouted together, jumping into the pool at four different directions in the big pool, making four big splashes that got many of the guys and girls in the pool and near the edges wet.
Right now, the members of the Rebel Knights are at the BFYC Charlestown Community Center Pool, recently rented out as a private party only for them as some kind of reward for their hard work in building their new headquarters.
The idea entirely came from the girls since they wanted everyone to not only relax, but have their first bonding activity. Anna was against going, but when Pirica and Ochaco used their secret weapon: Eri's puppy dog eyes, the Itako relented since she really wanted to have a relaxing time herself since there were no Shaman tournaments in this world, or any need to make Yoh train for right now.
Aizawa was at first against this for several reasons, but when Anna objected, the Erasure hero didn't argue, as no one in the multiverse would ever dare to mess with her. The Shamans have all learned that the VERY hard way. To rent this pool privately, Momo used her knowledge and noble etiquette combined with Melissa's planning and Ren's wealth managed to convince the staff to rent just one day from early morning until nighttime it becomes their private pool so there won't be any major problems be it people staring at them funny or causing a scene.
As for what they're all dressed in, they so far had to buy Japanese school swimsuits (both male and female of the elementary, middle and high school sizes) for the week until each member has their own American money to buy their own swimsuit to their liking. Though, Tenya and Ryu bought school speedos for their own flare, to the embarrassment of some.
"Man, this feels like a nice dream." Ruby commented, sitting next to Kouga, Yoh, Manta and Izuku on some chairs.
"Heck yeah. This is quite the relaxing after everything each of us have been through." Manta commented.
"And for once Anna's not trying to train me to death again." Yoh explained.
"It does feel nice. The girls really put their heart into it well." Izuku commented, mostly looking at Ochaco helping Eri with swim lessons, which made the One For All user feel joy.
"Yeah. I haven't felt like this in a while." Kouga commented, while normally would jump in at the chance, but felt different for a weird reason, which was the same to Ruby. It would normally be the case since the two are following Yoh, Manta and Izuku's lead to relax and reminisce.
The five continued to lay, watching all their friends do their own thing: Yuna splashing water with Weiss, Sachi and Aria.
Anna punishing Kaminari, Mineta and Ponchi and Conchi for their perverted actions with her familiars Goki and Zoki by shoving their heads into one side of the pool, while an annoyed Kyoka and an exhausted Tamao (for trying her best to keep her Spirit Allies in check) look on.
Ochaco still helping swim lessons with Eri along with Raki and Selene, who became close friends to her since the trio are nearly the same age together, which made Eri more happy. Tsuyu also joined to teach the 3 little girls all together.
Eden sitting on the west edge of the pool, having a watchful eye on Bakugo, who was leaning near the windows with a mad look.
Melissa, Faust, Jeanne, Lyserg and Lie Ren having a pleasant conversation at a table together. The same goes for Ryuho, Haruto, Shoto, Momo and Tokoyami at a different table.
Blake mustering the courage to talk to Yang, who is right now too busy entertaining Souma and Joco with pun jokes, only to get themselves beaten by Tao Ren and Horohoro, while Pirica find the spectacle entertaining, and Tenya trying to calm the chaos to no avail.
Kirishima playing Marco Polo with Mina, Emma, Jaune and Nora in the pool at the center, with Mina being the winner 2 times now, to the frustrations of Jaune and Nora. Emma laughs sheepishly, but Kirishima wouldn't complain and smile with pride.
And for Zwei and Balto, they're acting as guard dogs in case any intruders stir up trouble.
Even the Spirit Allies Amidamaru, Bason, Kororo, Tokageroh, Mic, Morphine, Eliza and Pyron were simply floating in the air and watching with smiles on each of their faces.
Kouga, Yoh, Manta, Ruby and Izuku smiled at seeing all their friends (and family) having a fun time.
"We may be in for a tough fight, but as long as we work together, there is nothing that can stop us." Ruby explained.
"For sure. Doesn't matter who tries to get in our way to protect the stones of Power and Reality." Kouga declared.
"We will have to fight. But it's better than doing nothing and letting others suffer." Yoh added.
"And we'll get stronger to face those challenges." Izuku declared, clenching his fist.
"And you better - so I can surpass you all!" Bakugo declared, walking towards the quintet with his usual angry expression.
"H-Hey, Kacchan!" Izuku yelped in fright of his childhood rival.
"You sure don't know to keep that anger in check, Bakugo." Manta thought, having a sweat drop on his forehead.
Eden, following Bakugo to keep him in line, sighed. "Well, he isn't wrong. A little training could help all of us in the long run."
"Never thought you'd agree with an idiot, Eden." Kouga commented, which Bakugo growled with a red tick mark on his forehead.
"I don't. But something has to be done before he gets us in trouble for starting something." Eden explained.
"Well, then… let's have a go here and now to see which of the six of us is stronger!" Bakugo hollered, generating small explosions on his palms.
"Uh… let's think about…" Izuku said, trying to calm the explosion user down.
"Let's do a swimming battle!" Souma declared, scaring Kouga and the others, except Eden.
"Yeah! We can even resume Class A's swimming competition to see who the winner is this time!" Mina hollered.
"I suppose that should suffice. The pool is wide and long enough for a 100M race." Tenya explained, agreeing to the idea.
"Do we get to use our powers?" Nora asked.
"So long as none of you cause collateral damage or hurt anyone, everything else will remain the same." Tenya answered.
"The top 12 among us will be the finalists to face off." Tenya added.
"I'm gonna crush you, Deku." Bakugo declared, causing Izuku to look serious.
"The same goes for you and Spiky Head, Icy Hot!" Bakugo called out to Shoto and Tao Ren, the former giving a slight glare and the latter not caring in the slightest.
"Alright, then - let's do this, gang!" Kouga hollered.
"YEAH!" The Rebel Knights all shouted in union.

It was soon decided it will be 4 groups of 10 for 4 races to determine the 12 winners to duke it out for the best swimmer. The only ones not participating were Manta, Aria, Raki, Selene, the Spirit Allies (though Pyron joined as an extra swimmer at Jun and Kirishima's behests), Pirica, Eri, Melissa (being referee), Zwei and Balto.
First group up was Ryuho, Sachi, Tao Ren, Jun, Pyron, Lie Ren, Bakugo, Kaminari, Tokoyami and Mineta.
"Then, on your marks…" Melissa said, being the referee with the whistle.
"Get set…" Melissa continued.
The whistle was blown as the first group made their run. But Bakugo and Tao Ren were a few steps ahead.
"Blast Rush Turbo!" Bakugo shouted, using his explosions for a burst of speed, making it to the finish line first.
"O.S. Bason!" Tao Ren shouted, using the tip of his giant golden spear to propel himself forward like a rocket.
"How was that, you sidekicks?!" Bakugo asked, being cocky.
"All too ease." Tao Ren said.
"Don't give me *How was that*?!" Horohoro exclaimed.
"You two didn't put your feet in the water first!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"It's called freestyle swimming!" Bakugo snapped, generating explosions in his palms again.

The next group up was Yuna, Souma, Horohoro, Anna, Tamao, Lyserg, Shoto, Kirishima, Weiss and Jaune.
"On your marks…" Melissa said.
"Get set…" Melissa continued, with the next group getting ready.
The whistle blew as the second group swam as fast as they could.
Yuna used her winds to fly fast, followed by Weiss using her glyphs to slide across, along with Lyserg swinging the ceiling with his dowser pendulum.
But Souma, Shoto and Horohoro were much faster: Shoto used his ice to slide across in a manner similar to Weiss, Souma propelled himself with his flames like a rocket, and Horohoro simply used his snowboard with his Oversoul.
Souma, Horohoro and Shoto made to the finish line instantly.
"Now that's how you surf!" Horohoro hollered.
"Heck yeah!" Souma hollered.
"You three were supposed to be swimming!" Kaminari and Mineta barked in unison.

The third group up was Eden, Haruto, Emma, Blake, Yang, Ryu, Joco, Ochaco, Mina and Nora.
"On your marks…" Melissa said.
"Get set…" Melissa continued, with the third to last group getting ready.
The whistle blew with the third group making their run.
Eden was already there in a flash of lightning without delay.
Yang and Blake were having a competition themselves with their freestyle swimming, being the next two to win behind Eden.
Though breathing heavily, the two let out a smile to each other.
"Thought cats can't swim." Yang teased, getting a playful fist to her shoulder.
Mina and Nora gleed at the sight, only to get their ears pulled by Ochaco.

The last group up was Kouga, Yoh, Izuku, Ruby, Faust, Jeanne, Tenya, Tsuyu, Momo and Kyoka.
"Last group - on your marks…" Melissa said, with the final group already in position.
"Get set…" Melissa continued.
Melissa blew the whistle with the last group racing towards the icicle.
Tenya was already in a fabulous lead thanks to his Recipro Burst.
"You too, Ida?!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"One For All… Fulling Cowling!" Izuku thought, activating his Quirk at 8% for an increase in
speed.
Kouga and Ruby followed suit by activating their respective powers, while Yoh immediately used the Ultra Senjiryakketsu: Shamanic Oracle to read the Furyoku flows of Faust and Jeanne and immediately kept up.
Refusing to be outdone, Tenya gave chase by increasing his speed. Kouga, Yoh, Izuku, Ruby and Tenya were racing extremely hard to reach the end.
But in that moment, Kouga, Yoh, Izuku, Ruby all tied together with Tenya being second to them.
The entire Rebel Knights cheered.
"That was awesome!" Kirishima hollered.
"They rock!" Ochaco hollered.
"Papa, Kouga, Aunt Ruby and Yoh-san are the best!" Eri hollered.
"You four swam magnificently." Tenya commented.
"Thanks, Ida-kun." Izuku said.

Outside near the reception desk, the receptionist was feeling exhausted for some reason.
"Excuse me." A voice called out, getting the receptionist's attention.
"O-Oh, yes?!" The receptionist asked.
"Are there kids still in there?" The man questioned.

Now, the finalists for the 50 meter dash to declare a winner were the Kouga, Yoh, Izuku, Ruby, Eden, Souma, Tao Ren, Horohoro, Bakugo, Shoto, Blake and Yang.
"So these are our finalists for this last race. With only one winner." Tenya explained.
"Yes." Izuku said.
"That's right." Blake said.
"Hey, IcyHot!" Bakugo hollered.
"Don't you dare hold back like you did at the Sports Festival." Bakugo explained.
"Fight me like your life depends on it!" Bakugo hollered.
"I will." Shoto said.
"You better not hold back, Ren!" Horohoro declared.
"Not against you idiots, that's for sure." Tao Ren mocked, irritating Souma, Horohoro and Bakugo.
"Then we'll all bring our best!" Kouga hollered, mashing his left fist into his right palm.
Yoh, Izuku, Ruby, Eden, Blake and Yang nodded in agreement.
"And now, the final 100m race is about to begin!" Tenya hollered, being the referee in Melissa's place.
The Rebel Knights started to cheer like crazy to place their bets on who's winning.
"Blow them all away, Bakugo!" Kirishima hollered.
"Try and not to kill the others!" Kaminari hollered.
"Hold nothing back!" Mina hollered.
"Do your best, Izuku!" Ochaco hollered.
"Go, Papa!" Eri hollered.
"Fight on!" Melissa hollered.
"All right, swimmers! On your marks…" Tenya said.
"I'll fly across all at once!" Souma and Bakugo thought in unsion, the former letting out small flames from his hands, and the latter generating explosions in his own.
"I'll slide through." Shoto and Horohoro thought in unison, preparing to use their respective ice capabilities once more.
"I'll zap my way though." Eden thought, generating purple lightning across his entire body.
"I'll give this everything I've got!" Kouga, Yoh, Izuku, Ruby, Tao Ren, Blake and Yang thought in unison, prepared to swim with all their might.
"Get set…" Tenya said.
The whistle blew as the twelve finalists ran full throttle before using ready to use each and every one of their respective abilities.
But once they reached their first steps, they suddenly fell into the pool.
"W-What the?!" Mina exclaimed.
"Why did they just stopped?!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"You've all had your fun." Aizawa said, just now entering the scene.
"But we need to get back to the hotel to start settling in." Aizawa continued.
"Aw, come on!" Nora hollered.
"We were just getting to the best part, and you ruined it, Aizawa-sensei!" Kaminari hollered.
Aizawa's eyes flashed red while giving off a stern glare.
"What was that?" Aizawa asked.
"NOTHING, SIR!" The Union shouted in unison.
"Anyway - Kouga. Asakura. Oyamada. Rose. Midoriya." Aizawa called the five (the four main heroes whose heads just popped out of the pool), which got their attention fast.
"There's someone who wants to see you." Aizawa said, moving to the side and allowing someone who's been with him step forward, which shocked Kouga, Yoh, Manta, Izuku and Ruby to see none other than Alison, the girl who helped them one time last week.
"Hey, guys!" Alison cheerfully called out, waving her right arm.
Preview Skit:
Horohoro: Dammit! I was about to show up Yoh, Ren, Souma, Shoto and even that jerk Bakugo!
Yang: I know! What a killjoy!
Shoto: But Aizawa-sensei did have a reason when that girl knew Midoriya and the others.
Tao Ren: A shame the race stopped. I would've demolished the whole race.
Horohoro (irritated): Shut up, Ren! You would never win squat!
Yang: Don't get a big head, spiky!
Tao Ren (irritated): You two wanna start something?
Horohoro & Yang: Bring it on!
Shoto sighed.
Shoto: Next time: Chapter 3 - "Heal the World".
Tao Ren, Horohoro & Yang: You're going down!
Shoto: I think I should stay out of this one.
Did you like it? Normally, I would've done a room challenge chapter, but after the last few stories with it, I would like to try something much more fun since I realize none of the groups of each story have all their stuff from their respective worlds.
