*Authors Note*

Sorry for taking so long between posts. I was having a hard time getting this one started.

1-B stood across from 1-A, the air thick with mistrust; Izuku stepped forward, as did Momo.

"I was thinking maybe we could have one member of each class sit next to another?"

"It may not be the best idea, but we must break the tension somehow."

"So should we just call people out randomly or see if someone volunteers?"

Itsuka said, "Ochaco would you care to sit with me?"

The gravity girl took a deep breath, "If that's ok, I would like to get to know you better." The two boarded the bus, soon Tsu and Reiko, followed by Pony and Kyoka. The girls of each class soon followed, paring up. Izuku smiled as the process was taking place.

"Glad to see the girls aren't holding a grudge," he said with a smile at Momo.

"We girls are more mature, naturally," Momo said with a dramatic hair flip and giggle.

"Well, someone has to be; your class costumes all look pretty cool; I like yours too, Momo."

"Yes, it is kind of new my other was a little more revealing due to the nature of my quirk but after my first class with All-Might, he directed me and Toru to the lab where we were able to get fitted for Geno Fabric," she said pointing to the addition of while armored legging and white tank top. "A whole new costume is being constructed, but that takes time."

They looked back at the class and saw just the boys, so they assigned them together to get them on the bus. Due to mismatched numbers, Izuku took the solo seat near his friends from both classes as the bus rumbled off to their joint training exercise.

The girls were the first to fall into any real conversation while some of the boys who weren't part of the stupid conspiracies theory started talking with their 1-B brothers about how classes were treating them; when the topic of dentition was brought up, that seemed to bring the all the classes together as 1-A had spent their time writing reports and 1-B had done some training and even played some games, the story of the legendary UNO tournament bought out laughs and cheers at the retelling. Soon the conversation shifted to their hero outfits and standard school stuff.

When they stepped off, it seemed that most of the tension was gone between the classes, with the hostility still focused on Izuku, which he didn't mind. Before them, they all paused as they took in the site of the massive facility before them, the USJ, Unforeseen Simulation Joint. The imposing structure loomed before them; such an enormous facility built on campus just added to the reminder that they were at the top hero school in the nation and possibly the world.

Kyoka walked over and shoulder-bumped him, "Don't sweat it, Izuku. Are we still on for tomorrow?" she said, twirling a jack around her finger.

"Yea, I am looking forward to it. Honestly, I am pretty excited. I like your hero outfit Kyoka. It fits your vibe." He said, not noticing her blush.

"Cool, so am I," she replied. "Yours is pretty dope as well; it seems to suit you." While her blush went unnoticed, it did not but some of her classmates, or Reiko and Pony.

"Dude, what the fuck is Jiro getting all chummy with that douchebag for?" Denki said.

"Yea, doesn't he have his own classmates to hit on? He has been flirty with Toru and Momo; didn't Tsu go to the mall with him?"

"Look, boys, just calm down," Eijiro said, walking up behind them, "Trust me, he is going to get his, and then Bakubro will be back with us."

"Yea, well, don't wait too long. Eiji, Ochaco, and Ida are talking to that asshole now," Sero said, pointing to enlarging group around Izuku. Ochaco blushed as she explained the mishap with her costume design but broke into a smile as she received reassurance that it looked good on her.

Any further conversation was cut short when the doors opened, and their homeroom teachers and the renowned rescue hero Thirteen stepped out. Ochaco lit up like a Christmas tree as she started gushing around her group about the rescue hero.

Thirteen stepped forward, welcoming them to the USJ, and explained that today's exercise's premise was teamwork and quirk control. They learned to use their quirks to aid rescue operations even if they felt ill-suited. She drove this point home when she demonstrated her quirk Black Hole and a pile of rubble nearby, which did its job perfectly.

Eraser Head stepped forward next, "I don't want any funny business today or any repeat of the cafeteria from a week ago. Any shenanigans will result in strict and immediate disciplinary actions."

"Look, children, I understand that there are hard feelings and lingering misunderstandings. I will not stand here and tell you that you all need to be friends or even need to like each other. But you do need to work together and put aside those differences for the greater good. Not only will you be called upon to put your lives in each other's hands, but there will be innocent civilians whose lives are in your hands. I promise you right now that should you let such things as harsh feelings between you lead to their preventable death, I will do everything I can to see you stripped of your licenses and punished to the fullest extent of the law if possible. You all came here to be heroes, each with your motivation and beliefs but at the core of all, it is protecting the innocent people of our world. Do not let the dreams that have carried you this far be tarnished because you don't like someone's quirk or lack thereof. Be better, be heroes!"

"YES, SENSEI," 1-B responded, and so did a few members of 1-A.

Kyoka leaned towards Izuku, "Does he normally speak like that?"

"He does," Izuku said with admiration, "First-day Neito freaked some when he found out I didn't have a quirk, Vlad Sensei came in and laid some hard truths on us, and we could squash it quickly and move on. I am glad he is my homeroom teacher rather than the alternative."

"No shit, I feel like I am ready to take on anything right now," she responded. "That was our teacher's normal speech, don't mess up, or I will expel you. You know we haven't had a single basic combat course yet; the only kind we have had is what we did with you."

"That seems terrible on so many levels," Izuku responded, smirking at her. "But you already knew how to throw a pretty good punch; it must come with the attitude."

Kyoka instinctively punched him in the shoulder. "Damn right, don't make me give you a fresh one." She said, turning away to hide her smile.

"Good punch, but I like your smile even better," he said, following the group, leaving Kyoka sputtering and turning red.

Toru laughed, placing a hand on her friend's shoulders, guiding her after the group. "He won that round."

Entering the massive doors, students commented on the interior and all the training zones around them. As they were doing so, Neito was looking over the railing when the lights flickered, and he saw a portal open, and people that looked like they didn't belong began to spill out.

"Vlad Sensei, please tell me this is part of the training?" he said, stepping back.

The two homeroom teachers looked down as another portal opened, and out stepped a slim man with pale skin, tinged. He was wearing plain red sneakers, black pants that exposed his ankles, and a matching long-sleeved V-neck shirt; covering his arms and shoulders were what appeared to be hands. A hand was attached to his face acting as a mask. "The raid boss seems to be missing Kurogiri."

He was followed by two others, a man whose entire body is made out of a dark purple mist, save for his eyes, which are glowing yellow. He wore an exquisite suit with a tie and had a metal brace from around his collarbone to just below his eyes. "According to our information, he was to be here," Kurogiri responded.

The third was even more bizarre. It was a giant, black humanoid monster with a very muscular body with many scars. His brain is exposed on the top of his head while his large eyes surround it. He has a beak-like mouth with an array of sharp teeth. It only wore beige pants and metal knee pads designed to emulate skulls. His feet and torso are left bare.

"Greetings, trash, I am Shigaraki, the leader of the League of Villains, and we are here today to kill All-Might and bring about change in this world where quirks are deemed villainous or unuseful. Seeing how he has not shown up for our little revolution, we will have to make do with all of you," the man with the hands called out in a raspy voice. "It seems we need to summon him to his death party. May your wails, cries, and the silence from your death ascend to the sky and summon the " Symbol of Peace." Worry not. Your end will serve the greater good; kill them all!"

"No, it is not, Thirteen; get the kids out of here!" he called. "1-B, follow 13 now!"

"YES, SENSEI!" his class responded. He could see from the looks on their face that they wanted to go against his orders; he saw Togaru, Izuku, Jurota, and even Yui hesitate for a second.

"Yaoyorozu, Jiro, get the class out of here," Eraser Head shouted.

"Sensei, there are too many of them for you to fight with your quirk!" Eijiro called out.

"Yea, Sensei, let us fight. We aren't scared like the others," Denki joined in.

"No hero is just a one-trick pony, Kirishima; now get with the others, or you are expelled," Eraser Head said as he leaped over the railing, followed by Vlad King.

The combined class moved towards the exit, the madman's words still lingering in their brains; these villains had not only come to kill All-Might but them as well. Many understood that life and death would be part of their world once they graduated, but not in the second week of school. As they were following Thirteen toward the exit, suddenly, they were surrounded by the dark mist that had heralded the arrival of their attackers. The one known as Kurogiri emerged like a horror movie monster from a portal.

"You should not run; after all, the young master has gone through great trouble to prepare such delights for all of you; now be scattered like the dust in the wind and know that your deaths will bring about a better tomorrow." He said as the mist began to flow from his hand.

"No, you don't, villain," Thirteen called out her hand, shooting out the caps on her fingers that controlled her powerful quirk, opening and unleashing it at the villain. Little did she know she was playing right into the villain's trap as a second portal opened behind the hero, redirecting her quirk back at her. Thirteen screamed as the back of her suit was torn open, flesh ripped from her body, and she fell to her knees.

Eijiro leaped forward with a wild haymaker as Togaru came in from the other side, attempting to stab at the mist villain; their blows past harmlessly through Kurogiri. "So anxious to die, let me accommodate you foolish children." He said, a portal swallowing the two boys.

"Reiko grab Thirteen; Momo, we need medical supplies; Ibara, see if you can restrain him. There has to be a body somewhere under there," Izuku called out; the girls sprang into action as Sen moved forward, activating his quirk and stripping the mist away, hoping to reveal the body of their target.

"He has a heartbeat," Kyoko called out.

"Let us see if he withstand my awesome twinkling," Yuga called out as his navel laser fired. Kurogiri was far from done using the portal to redirect the shot at Sen, forcing the boy and a few others to duck. Then portals appeared under many of their feet, causing them to fall in, and they pulled away from their classmates.

-Ruins Zone-

Eijiro fell above the Ruins; reaching out, he hardened his hand, attempting to slow his descent by digging into the wall above the alley; as he neared the ground, he released the wall shifting to his legs to absorb some of the impact.

Quickly he scanned the area when the sound of metal on brick drew his attention around the corner; rushing over to investigate, he saw Togaru pushing off the wall and dive-bombing what appeared to be a villain dressed in rags. It was then that Eijiro saw this thing emerge from a dumpster. As it did, he saw the metal from the can stick to the creature like some makeshift armor.

The mass locked eyes with Eijiro and bellowed something, but it was garbled like trying to talk with a mouth of wet peanut butter, but words were not necessary as it charged at the boy. Its massive hand crashed in a thunderous arc, hoping to crush Eijiro in one smash.

Togaru impacted the rag man and immediately regretted it as a green noxious gas erupted. He managed not to vomit as he rolled off and tried to move away, his eyes stinging from the stench. Eijiro had unknowingly leaped back to avid his attacker into the noxious gas; his eyes watered as he stumbled farther back, fighting back the vomit. Eijiro managed to get his guard up in time as the metal fist crashed into him, sending him tumbling out of the alley; Togaru kicked off the wall to bypass the cloud that seemed to form a stable ring around Rag Man.

He rushed towards Eijiro as the boy lost his battle with the noxious stench and vomited into the street. Togaru yanked him to his feet as their attackers shambled out of the alley; he noticed that the Rag Man was keeping his distance from the armored blob; what caught his attention was when he saw a wisp of smoke stick to the blob.

"The blob is avoiding getting too close to Mr. Stinky; we need to force them somehow together," Togaru whispered. "You must do it, as we can't risk you getting stuck. Can you handle that?"

Eijiro nodded, quickly scanning the area around. He noticed some broken pieces of wood, it wouldn't keep him entirely out of the cloud, but it would at least add some distance. Grabbing a decent size rock, he hurled it, forcing the fog to dodge out of the way as Togaru rushed in the opposite direction to pull the Blob's attention to him.

-Shipwreck Zone-

Tetsu grunted as the shark villain's mouth came collapsing around his midsection as it was attempting to swallow his feet first; thankfully, he had seen him coming and activated his quirk Steel waiting for the last possible second. The clank surprised his attacker but didn't stop him from trying to bite through. Tetsu knew he couldn't stay like this for long, and he had to free himself and make it to the surface, his lungs already crying out for air.

He grit his teeth and reaches out, finding the villain's eyes; viciously, he dug his fingers into the black orbs; even underwater, he could hear the thing scream. It released him and yanked away, leaving one of its eyes behind on Tetsu's hand; with no time to contemplate it, he released his quirk and kicked his way to the surface.

As he broke the surface, he looked around frantically, where he saw the large boat floating in the middle of the zone; he then saw Hiryu, whose hand was inside another villain's mouth.

Hiryu screamed as the rows of sharp teeth collapsed around his arm, piercing his scales like his other cohorts. This small group of 3 villains had swarmed Hiryu when he splashed down. Their diminutive stature of 3'4 had frozen his initial reaction to attack, believing them to be children. But his hesitation ceased when their faces distorted with murderous intent and bore rows of razor-sharp teeth. They seemed to have some Pirhanna quirk as they came at him.

His scales had afforded him some protection, but their needle-like teeth had found their way through; having dealt with the other two forcing one to retreat and the other possibly dead, he was left with what he thought to be the leader; it had dodged his most recent and attack with its much more agile state of the fight occurring in the water. Leading them to the current state, as the villain shook its head from side to side, attempting to see off the limb, Hiryu focused and fired his scales with everything he had.

Hiryu suppressed his emotion as he saw some of the scales emerge from the back of the thing's head; its jaw went slack as he pried the thing off him, a shout from behind. He saw Tetsu point toward the boat, and the two began to swim as fast as they could.

Suddenly a green-haired girl appeared at the railing; the two boys recognized her as the Tsu for class 1-A. She dived off the edge as the Denki appeared behind her, yelling to be careful.

"Grab Hiryu first. He is injured!" Tetsu yelled, swimming with all his might.

Tsu nodded, grabbing Hiryu and firing her tongue to grapple the railing and pull them out before she returned, doing the same for Tetsu but not before delivering a powerful kick to the villain in hot pursuit.

The two boys lay panting on the deck; Hiryu tore some fabric from his costume to make improvised bandages, and Tetsu and Tsu moved to help while Denki seemed conflicted. Tsu noticed after making sure the boys had everything in hand; she walked over and roughly yanked his arm, pulling him off to the side.

"What the hell is your problem?" she hissed.

"Nothing. I wasn't expecting to see 1-B," he replied.

"Are you fucking kidding me, kero." She said, her eyes widening in shock. "You hesitated to help someone because of some stupid grudge? Either get your head out of your ass or expect to be reported to staff. Bakugo was terrible despite what every head cannon Kirishima has. Are you here to be a hero or an asshole? Let me know so I can start watching my back around you."

Denki wanted to retort, but she walked away.

-Landslide Zone-

As Shoto fell, he created an Ice Slide to slow his descent; rolling to his feet, he looked around as villains emerged from their hiding spots. With a smirk, he slammed his foot into the ground, encasing them all in ice.

"Amateurs, now tell me about this plan to kill All-Might before hypothermia sets in, and you start losing your extremities." He said.

Suddenly a fist of fire erupted from around a corner; Shoto barely managed to get an ice wall up. The blow still sent him stumbling back.

Toru screamed as she emerged from the portal, plummeting to what was sure to be intense pain when the Neito flew up and caught her in his arms. She looked, and it said it looked like Bondo had thrown him.

They impacted roughly, "Sorry for the rough catch but hold on, I need to turn off this quirk, or we are going to keep rising," he said as he placed his fingers together like Ochaco, and they began to descend. "Just hold on. I will reactivate it before we impact."

She held on tight as his arm was around her waist; she was highly thankful for the clothing All-Might had helped get so that all her essential bits were at least covered. She looked to the side and saw ice erupt everywhere. That must be Shoto!

They landed slightly roughly as Bondo slid down the hill to join them.

"Good catch, Monoma," the glue user said.

"Nice throw Bondo," he replied, setting Toru on her feet as they saw fire and ice erupting on the other side of their mountain.

"That has to be Shoto," Toru said. "We need to help him!"

"Of course, madam, that is what heroes do," Neito replied as they dashed off.

-Mountain Zone-

Izuku's vision returned with him falling from the sky towards some jagged-looking rocks. Scanning his surround, he saw Ice erupting just a short distance from where they were. He felt a hand grab his vest roughly and slow his descent. Looking back, he saw Setsuna's arm. They then noticed her limbs shooting off everywhere, holding Momo and Kyoka and saving them from falling to serious harm.

Setsuna was straining, holding them all; most of her body was with Izuku while an arm and few legs had flown off to catch the girls from 1-A. All their landings were rough but much softer than they would have been otherwise. She pulled her limbs to herself and fell back on her but breathing heavily.

"Great job, Set, you ok?" Izuku said.

"Yea, I just need a minute; grabbing and holding all of you was a lot." She replied.

"Thank you for catching us," Momo said, looking around as a bo staff formed in her hand.

"Yea, thanks for the save," Kyoka said as she plunged one of her jacks into the ground and extended the other like a boom mic, closing her eyes. "there are about 15 of them around the bend. They are setting up an ambush. I think some of the voices are too muffled for me to hear. Momo, can I get a baton or something?"

Momo nodded and created an Escrima Stick, looking at Setsuna. "Baseball bat, please. Did Izuku teach you how to use those?" Set asked Kyoka.

"Some, but it's better than nothing in case they get in close," Kyoka said with a smile.

Izuku smiled as he drew his staff, "An ambush only works because of the element of surprise; I say you let me spring their trap; Momo and Kyoka, you come in behind me; Set, can you come in up and over?"

"Yeah, I got you, Izu," she said, smiling and taking a swing with her bat.

"Then let's go introduce ourselves," he said.

-Windstorm Zone-

Dark Shadow sprang forth, catching the other students after it had gotten Fumi to the ground safely, Koji and Jurota put some strain on the quirk, but it could handle Yui easily. Once all four of them were together, Fumi spoke. "It seems that the forces of evil have sprung a most heinous of traps this day; we must work together to see victory snatched from the jaws of defeat."

"I agree," Jurota said, "Strangely put, but well put nonetheless."

Yui just nodded, as did Koji. As they emerged from the shelter of the raging wind if it wasn't for a warning from Dark Shadow that sent the group diving in opposite directions when a bolt of lightning struck the ground where they were.

They looked, and standing on an opposing rooftop, they saw a villain slap its hands together. As he pulled them apart, they saw another lightning bolt forming in their hands. From the streets around them, they saw more villains emerge.

"It appears that we are going to have to fight our way out," Jurota said as he removed his glasses, putting them in a case on his belt.

"BATTLE!" Yui screamed. Koji flinched.

-Fire Zone-

Sato rolled to the side, avoiding an animated fire dragon as it swooped down; seeing it circle high into the air, he pushed off in a sprinters stance kicking off the ground behind him as he speared the woman in control of the dragon. Quickly he raised his fist back and drove it into her face knocking her out. The fire dragon that had been descending rapidly dissipated and disappeared.

He didn't have time to celebrate any victory, and the window of the building exploded above him, and he saw a member of class 1-B come diving out; he watched as the boy's speech bubble turned into 'PLOP' as he fell to the ground the word fell, and he landed on it all like a he fell into water.

Sato shook his head and ran over, helping the boy up. "Thanks," Manga said. Looking towards the window he had just dived out of, 'rat-a-tat-tat' formed, and bullets flew up into the building. "Don't worry, their rubber." He said as the sounds of pain rang out.

Sen and Yuga burst from an alley. Sen spun his arms at whatever was chasing them; the sound of metal colliding with something and a scream of pain was heard. Yuga stepped to the side of Sen and let his navel laser rip down the same alley.

"Prend ca" he shouted. The two boys high-fived before they put their hands on their knees, drawing a deep breath.

Sen and Manga ran over to them. With a cautious glance down the hall, they saw a giant of a man lying on his back, unconscious against the wall, a burn mark on his forehead, and two dumpsters crushed at his legs.

"So, how is everyone doing?" Manga asked sarcastically.

"You know pretty good sad if forgot the things to make smores thought," Sero asked, earning a laugh from everyone."

A little way away, a building exploded out, and out stepped a woman 18ft tall, her hair made of fire burst forth. "ENOUGH GAMES, TIME TO DIE, BABY HEROES"

"Um, RUN!" Sen yelled as the boys bolted down another alley.

-Forrest Zone-

Ibara vines whipped out and yanked Mina back as her acid splashed onto the moss villain's face; Mina spun and fired behind Ibara as a villain with deer antlers came charging, forcing him to change course.

"Thank you for the save," Ibara called out, her vines forming a wall as arrows flew deeper into the forest.

"Same to you, We need to get moving. They are surrounding us, and our luck will run out." Mina called back.

Suddenly crashing through the trees into the clearing with them came Mezo, two of his hand digging into the eye sockets of a man with a bear quirk and the other four fightings desperately to keep the bear's jaws from closing on his stomach. Ibara spun to assist her vines, grabbing the thing's arm and wrenching them back with a sickening crack; Mina flung acid a the Deer Man and Mr. Moss attempting to keep them back. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another volley of arrows come raining down.

"LOOK OUT!" She screamed; she shut her eyes as none of them were in a position to dodge.

"I got you guys," A voice rang out from the south as Kosei burst out, letting out a massive breath that knocked the arrows off course.

The four stood back to back as the villains regained their footing. "Together," Ibara said fiercely; the other three nodded.

-Underground-

Sero's tape flew out, wrapping around the Mole Man; he tugged with all he could, slamming the beast face down; recklessly, he charged forward, his foot connected with the villain's thick skull knocking him out. Sero stumbled back, blood pouring from a bite mark on his shoulder.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," he muttered. He tenderly reached to his elbow and pulled off a piece of tape to slap over the wound to staunch the bleeding. As he stumbled out of the large cave back into a tunnel, he stuck his hand against the wall to guide him; the sounds of a battle began to fill his ears as he entered a large chamber.

With her back against the wall, Kinoko threw her arm sweepingly toward her opponents. They appeared to be twins with a spider quirk, huge mandibles protruding from their mouths, dripping with salvia, and spider talons growing out of their backs. They chuckled as they approached the girl. Suddenly they began to scream as the spore grew into a strange mushroom, and green gas leaked. Kinoko let out a battle cry and ran, delivering a layout dropkick on one of the twins; the other, still screaming talon, lashed out.

Sero fired his tape, capturing the limb and yanking back with all his might; a sickening crack was heard as the stem snapped.

Shihai appeared in the darkness above the beast and dropped down, driving his feet into the thing's back and face into the ground. He and Kinoko scrambled free as Sero ran over, firing more tape to secure them to the floor.

The three looked at each other; a terrible roar was heard from the west tunnel before any of them could speak. Having emerged from the South, the only other exit was east. They broke off in a run.

-The Front Door-

Ochaco raced towards the downed Thirteen, her quirk being used against her by the Mist Villain. The villain chuckled menacingly, but it was suddenly jerked to the side before it could act.

"Stay away from them, you monster," Reiko yelled. "There is a body under there."

"Juzo stick him, Pony aim for the neck brace, Ida kick that son of a bitch into next week, Yosetsu I need a bat or something," Nirengeki called out. Class 1-B immediately sprang into action, putting their faith in their classmate.

Juzo ran, sliding to a stop in front of the Mist Villian. His hands hit the floor, and the villain began to sink; Pony's horns fired, striking true, and a scream of pain told them they were on the right path. Ida sprang forward and kicked the villain on the left side, sending him toppling. Its hand shoots out to stop in and becomes trapped in the floor like its feet. Yosetus handed over a makeshift bat to Nirengeki.

"Uraraka, negate me," he yelled as he ran by her; she reached out, managing to slap his arm. He leaped into the air, raising the pipe above his head, "RELEASE IT!" he yelled.

Ochaco pressed her fingertips together, allowing gravity to reassert itself, and he came crashing down with a thunderous overhead swing. A terrible clang was heard as it collided with the mist villain's neck brace, driving the villain to the ground.

"Juzo release, Yosetsu weld this bastard," Niren yelled, leaping off the Mist Villain. Juzo released his softening the ground hardening around the villain as Yosetsu ran forward and welded the neck brace to the floor.

"Ida and Pony kick that bastard till he stops moving." He yelled. He ran over to Ochaco, pulling some bandages from a pouch. "Use this to stop the bleeding."

"That was amazing!" Ochaco said, applying the bandages.

"Thanks. Now we need to figure a way out past those doors."

"I can get passed them," Juzo said. "Softening should work so we can pry them open, and then Speedy can get help."

"While I would loath to leave my companions behind, I see the logic in sending me," Tenya said.

"Why are we talking about it? Let's do this," Yosetsu yelled as they raced to the doors.
