This wasn't supposed to happen.

This was supposed to be a big job. She was only supposed to scare the guy of the construction site and that was all. No one was going to get hurt, she was told that. She was only having a little fun and getting paid while doing so, nothing should have gone wrong.

… So why is she on the ground with her jaw hurt?

Why were there police officers telling her to put her hands where they could see it?

Why was she getting handcuffed with freakishly large handcuffs?

W-Was she getting arrested?

She didn't want to go to prison. She was only fifteen years old! She only got started to get used to her powers a couple of months ago. She was just starting to know what it felt to be herself! She was only starting to know what it was to be alive, dammit! To get back what she was robbed off! For so long she was missing what it was to have fun. She finally knew what it was to feel joy. So why, why, why, WHY WAS IT ALL BEING TAKEN FROM HER RIGHT NOW?!

She questioned everything that was happening in her mind. And she could tell that she was the only one being arrested… but why? What about those men that were with her just a moment ago? They told her that they would take care of everything else. D-Did they… did they abandon her? No, no, no that can't be. That's… that's not how it should be! She trusted them! They told her…! Lies. They told her nothing but lies didn't they? And like a naive child, she bought them all.

And because of that, she got betrayed.

As she was getting walked towards the police car, she noticed someone landing behind them. Although it was not just any someone. It was...him?

… it was HIM!

He was the one that got in the way! He was the one that punched her in the jaw! It was him that just got her arrested!

How could he do it? Why would he do it? It doesn't make any sense! Sure, they got into a fight last time they saw each other, but that's no reason for him to do this! And why was he letting things happen? If it had been him, if their roles were reversed, she would have already blown the officers away from him! What was he waiting for? Do something!

"Uh, Joey...maybe there was something wrong with those treatments. Maybe the doctors can find a way to-"

"Shut up! You just, shut up!" Joey yelled, cutting Spider-Man mid-sentence.

Was he for real?

Was he seriously just… talking? Not trying to get her out of this mess. Not breaking her out of her bonds. He was just talking?! And it's not like he was trying to tell the cops to let her go, or trying to give her a much deserved apology. It was just him trying to excuse himself! What was wrong with him?!

He was the one that got in the way of her fun! He was the one that interfered with her job! It was him who punched her and made her fall to the ground! If anyone should be the one to be dragged into the police car, it should be him, not her! But no! Instead, it was her! Joey couldn't help but to glare at the wallcrawler. She glared at him as she prayed that she suddenly had a switch of powers with that guy with the shades from the News from a few days ago. If only to see if she could just laser his head off.

"I hate you! I hate you! I HATE YOU!" she yelled at the other super kid, wishing that she had never met him.

And yet… her heart breaks when she sees him jump away. When she saw him swing the other way. He… he was really leaving her… wasn't he? She said what she said, but maybe she didn't really mean what she said. After all, he was the first super-powered kid that she ever met. The first person she could open herself to. He was not her boyfriend or anything, nor did she see him in that light. It was nice to have someone to share anything with. He was fifteen just like her, but he was always too stiff. He was always too hard on everything.

If only he could be a little more like she was, then maybe… no.

He would never be like her. He would never listen to her… Were they truly ever friends? That idea frightened her to no end. The idea of being lonely all over again, was simply too much for her. She could never STAND being by herself again. She was tired of being some sort of outsider. Of always being pushed by the in-crowd or anyone else. She believed that she had to change to be accepted, but when he appeared, she no longer had that feeling inside her. But he betrayed her all the same. And unlike those businessmen of before, he had no excuse. They were no friends!

… and knowing that, she felt nothing but pain when he left.

He abandoned her. He stabbed her in the back. That snake-tongued wet blanket just left her to her own luck! But he was the only thing that she had. So as she was forced to get inside of the car, she shrieked and struggled all she could to no avail. And as she did, tears fell down her face like Niagara falls. She was hurt, she felt betrayed and she was livid.

After that incident, she spent the remaining of her childhood in a juvenile center, or was it a prison? She couldn't tell the difference, it was the same crap with a different name.

The only thing she was sure, is who was the one responsible for it all. Who was the one who caused her life to go down hill? Who ruined EVERYTHING for her?!

His name was Spider-Man. He used her and betrayed her when he needed help the most.

And so she swore that day, she would one day have her revenge on that treacherous bastard, even if it's the last thing that she does!

"So, you're Spider-Man's runt…" she said in english, taking Annie by surprise. "Got to say… I'm not impressed." she said, as she resumed her assault on Annie.

Joey pointed at her and several magenta marbles all flew towards the girl with red hair. Annie quickly snapped out of her confusion and started to dodge all of the projectiles launched at her. She did jump after jump, leap after leap trying her damn best not to be hit by the marbles. Which not only were traveling with such speed that they were sure to leave a bruise if they hit, but also exploded from time to time.

Because of course they did.

"Oh sure, let Annie deal with the crazy lady that shoots exploding marbles. Because nothing is hard for her, right?!" she thought as a marble exploded with such power, that the shockwave caught her off balance and made her crash in a window of one of the fake buildings… which felt really real to her about now. "... Ow." she complained.

However, she quickly got up as her spider sense rang. She saw how a marble was flying towards her. However, unlike the previous marbles, this one had some slight differences. For one, it was a shade off from the other ones. The other was the fact that it was traveling much faster than the others. It was because of this reason, that it caught her off guard and was able to actually make contact with her. However, instead of exploding, the marble expanded and soon enough, it was big enough to trap Annie inside of it. Before she could question what to do, the sphere she was now trapped in flew towards the side of another building at incredible highspeed. And just before the two were about to crash, the marble disappeared in the nick of time. Thus, Annie crashed into the building at approximately 62.3 kilometers per hour, by her own estimate.

"... Ow." she complained, getting herself off from the crater she caused and noticing that she was at least three or four stories high. "You know? I'm starting to wish I never got up from my bed this morning."

"If you want to rest, fine by me." said the woman, pointing at her and preparing to shoot more projectiles. "Let me put you out of your misery." the woman coldly stated as she shot the exploding marbles at her, forcing Annie to leap away and swing to the other building using her web shooter.

"Wow lady! Tone it down, would you?" Annie said, sticking to the window of the fifth floor of the other building. "I know I said I'm tired, but not enough to be sleeping with the fishes!"

"Tsk, great. Not only are you as infuriating to look as him, you're also as infuriating to hear too."

"What can I say? It's a spider trademark to get obnoxious dialogue per fight." she said, dodging a couple of projectiles coming her way. "Speaking of, I see you have some experience with dear-old papa-spider. Or am I mistaken?"

"Damn right I do!" Joey growled, as she kept on trying to hit the arachnid teenager. "That so-called 'hero' ruined my life!"

"Oh really? Wow, like I haven't heard that one before." Annie stated in a monotone voice as she kept on dodging. "Care to tell me in what way did he did it, so as to try and differentiate you from the other thousand or so generic baddies that have a bone to pick with him?"

"You honestly don't know?!"

"Lady, do you honestly think that anyone would be so open to their kids about the numerous amount of people that want them dead? I only know about the popular ones with the colorful costumes or the ones that are recognizable enough to be looked up in the internet and have like a wiki or something." said the teenager, webbing some small chunks of debris and swinging them all at the criminal, who managed to protect herself using some sort of bubble shield. "And you don't look like either of them, to be honest."

"Ha! Of course he wouldn't tell you about me! After all, he wouldn't tell his runt any story that reveals his true colors as a backstabbing, snake-tongued liar!" she yelled, much to the indignation of the redhead.

She has heard her classmates do nothing but talk bad about her father. But now she has to deal with some nameless wacko badmouthing him as well? Yeah, no. She grew tired of that the moment the first comment was made. So, she swung in circles around her to try and confuse her. When she saw the opportunity, she shot two lines of webbing at the lower side of a building and then, she pulled herself downwards and into the criminal. She was so fast that she was unable to put a barrier to protect herself and thus, she crashed into the lower side of the building, coughing a little blood from the impact and with Annie on top and holding her from her jacket as she glared at her.

"Let's get one thing straight lady. I don't take kindly to having someone talking bad about my dad." she told the criminal, who only chuckled at Annie's words.

"No wisecracks? No jokes, or funny comments?" she asked the arachnid girl, who just glared more intensely at the criminal. "What's the matter? Did I hit a nerve, little girl?"

"I've heard enough comments throwing dirt at him all day long from people that I already find frustrating to deal with. And unlike them, you're giving me more than enough reason to play rough."

"Come on, can't take criticism? Or is it that daddy's little princess doesn't like stories that make her old man look like anything other than a saint?"

"I'm warning you, lady. Keep pressing my buttons and I'll-" Annie was about to say, but her spider sense once more warned her of incoming danger.

She managed to see how a marble was forming in the hand of the criminal. Acting as fast as she could, she tried to jump away and put some distance between the two of them. However, she was unable to avoid the explosion of the sphere. Something that shocked her since, the criminal detonated the marble very close to herself. Hitting the floor hard, Annie had to quickly pick herself up to dodge another pair of explosive marbles that were hurled her way. As the smoke cleared, she saw that the criminal had protected herself with another bubble shield. Although, she did notice that it had a few cracks in it.

"Oh, I really am not impressed so far." she said as she hurled more explosive projectiles towards the redhead.

"I got you no-AGH!" a villain complained as he was quickly kicked in the face by Eraser Head.

"This is becoming more and more dire by the second." he complained mentally.

Midoriya was a sharp kid, he was able to tell one of the main weaknesses of Aizawa very quickly. And that was that he wasn't really suited to be in fighting so many opponents for so long. How many has he beaten by no? 8?15? 40? He wasn't sure. To make matters worse, was the fact that some of his students were all scattered across U.S.J. The few that weren't scattered were all at the mercy of that smoke villain, with only Thirteen protecting them. And as good as she may be as a pro-hero, she's not the most suited to combat compared to other pros. He managed to see that at least Van Dyne and Ida were able to escape, however even that was only half-true, since he managed to overhear that apparently, while the villain was unable to capture Ida, he caught Van Dyne.

"That's going to be problematic for her, knowing her nature." the teacher noted, dodging an attack from another villain and punching him with enough force that he was sure that he broke more than his fair share of teeth. Maybe even the nose too. "And to top it all off, I'm sure that the woman that looked like a civilian was paying attention to Parker a little too much for my comfort."

As he thought that, he avoided another criminal trying to attack him from behind. He quickly sidestepped him and wrapped him in his scarf. Pulling with as much strength as he could and using him to knock down a few medium-sized villains that could probably have been problematic for him had they got close. He then paid attention to the one costumed villain that had gotten his attention the moment he saw him.

It was that blonde villain with the blue costume.

He was sure that he too was American. It was hard to hear since they were several meters apart from one another, but he managed to notice an accent when the blonde villain talked.

"Two American villains? That can't be good!" he thought as he subdued another villain. "One of them is a complete mystery and while I'm sure the other one seems a little familiar, I can't for the life of me remember him!"

Speaking of, Aizawa was forced to dodge what looked like a bolt of blue electricity being hurled at him. Out of reflex, he rolled to the side as it connected with another large villain. The other villain screeched in pain for a couple of seconds even after the American stopped firing. Afterwards, the villain fell face front with many third degree burns and smoke coming from his body. Aizawa noticed that he was alive, but would be in desperate need of medical attention soon. Had it been someone else, Aizawa was sure that it could have killed them.

"Hey idiot. Try to not teamkill our allies. I thought you were against the idea." the pale man told the electric villain.

"You are also part of the disease that I want to cure in the world." the blonde villain replied. "I said that you couldn't be of use to my cause if you started to kill each other prior to this invasion. But now that we're here, your lives are no longer my concern. Get in my way and I'll discharge in you the same amount of electricity that is required to light up a house."

"Disease?" asked the pro-hero, trying to fill in the blanks that were the two Americans.

"The worship of super-powered creatures!" the villain said. "It is revolting. The fact that there are people that put freaks of nature and the laws of the universe on some sort of pedestal, ignoring the most crucial thing that comes with them. Death, pain, anguish!"

"Why does that sound familiar?" Aizawa thought, trying to use his quirk on the criminal, only to see no sides of its effect on him. "No reaction and he doesn't seem to be of the mutate variant. And since there doesn't seem to be signs of headache or the likes, then that means that he received his powers from a third party. The cloud villain said that they looked over the teachers that were assigned here for the exercise. Did they get this guy specifically to counter me, or is it just a coincidence?"

"I came here to make a statement. To show you all why you shouldn't worship the super-powered, but to fear them! And of all places, Japan is among the most corrupted of them all!" he told the hero, as he launched another bolt of electricity at Eraser, who managed to barely dodge it.

"I can't deactivate his powers with mine and I'm not sure if wrapping him with my scarf will do any good. If anything, he could probably use it to conduct his powers into my body and fry me as I stand." Aizawa said, thinking that this man in theory would be a bad match against him. "And what about that other American? Is she looking for the same goal as you?"

"Hardly. She went to have retribution on Spider-Man by slaying his child." the criminal stated, much to the horror of the few students that managed to overhear his words and making Aizawa's expression to grow grim. "To be fair, I actually wish her luck in her quest. If it weren't for that man, my message would have been heard by the masses decades ago."

"Spider-Man fought this man? And from the way he speaks, he seems to have a little history with him. But where-" he was questioning, until it dawned on him. "The 'It's Amazing' show."

"What of it?" asked the criminal.

"Stop talking to him and kill Eraser already." ordered the pale man, although his words fell on deaf ears.

"Many years ago, the show was hijacked by a deranged villain that threatened to kill everyone that was there. However, it was stopped by Spider-Man and miraculously, there were no casualties with the only person that required serious medical treatment being one of the hosts." Aizawa answered, finally remembering an old story that he heard while still a student. "That incident would have no doubt fallen into more obscurity than it has already if it weren't for the fact that it's the first recorded encounter between Spider-Man and a so-called supervillain."

"... Yes, that's true. And to this day, there hasn't passed a second in which I wished to have killed him back then." he said with a venomous tone. "But the past is the past. There is someone that is already taking care of things. And whether or not All Might comes, I would have made my message clear."

"You'll harm innocent kids for your twisted logic?"

"They're not innocent if they contribute to spreading the disease. If there were any other way, I might have looked into it, but as things are… The only way the populace will listen, will be with the aid of tragedy." said the criminal.

Aizawa had a reminder of a certain event that happened years and years ago. He was reminded of rubble. Of screams and of struggle. Of cheers to face down against the impossible and then… silence. A silence that was followed by blood and by pain. Of loss and of tragedy. The fact their current situation reminded him of that dark day did nothing but infuriate the underground hero even more than he was already. He didn't care what it took, he was stopping all of these villains. Right here! Right now!

As he kept on battling, Thirteen kept trying her best to protect the students that weren't teleported from the clutches of the criminals. More specifically, from the clutches of the mist-like villain in front of them. She cursed at their predicament, for combat was not one of her strong suits despite being fairly competent in that regard. She saw how Aizawa was already starting to get tired. The multitude of villains is already bad enough of a match-up for him. Combine that with the fact that the American villain was immune to his quirk, the pale man seemed to be capable of much damage and that the hulking monster remained to do a move, was very troublesome. She could also see the terrified look on the other students and that was also without taking into account the students that were teleported away.

"T-Thirteen…" the trembling voice of Uraraka made her turn around to see her frightened expression. "I-Is everything going to be alright…? T-The others, P-Parker-san? Are they going to be fine?" she asked.

Scared for their well being, of her missing classmates and of the resident American redhead. Her in particular due to the fact that there was a specific villain going after her and wanting to actually kill her. The blonde American villain was keeping Aizawa at bay, a pro-hero that is good enough to teach at U.A. If the other American villain was at least half of what the other could do, then… No, she didn't want to think of it. The idea was already frightening her as it is.

"Remain calm, Uraraka. Your classmates are on their way for help that is no doubt to show any moment now. Try and have some faith in your teachers' ability to protect you all and in your classmates' ability to fend for themselves." Thirteen said, trying to ease her worries, but it was easier said than done.

She could only pray that they manage to last long enough for help to arrive.

"Not again! P-Please, I don't want to do this again!" Valerie inerly cried as she kept ong being chased by a group of criminals.

This scenario had already happened to her in the past with a couple of differences. Change the blazing city in the day, for cold silent streets in the middle of the night. The group of criminals from another side of the world for agents of HYDRA. And the two leaders of the organization for the infamous Crossbones. Yet, despite the differences, there was a similarity that was too much terrified for the blue girl. And that was the same feeling of dread and of fear. Of isolation and of powerlessness. Even the small differences of her predicament only worked in frightening her just the same. For in the past, she feared the idea of losing her new gained freedom and now, she was fearing to lose the life that she has formed now. Her newly acquired family, Annie and the rest of her friends and even her classmates. She didn't want to lose them.

"What's the matter girl? Don't you want to play?" a female villain mocked as she and the other criminals were chasing her across the city in flames. Some even started to use their powers to try and shoot her.

"I need help! I-I can't do this alone!" Valerie cried, only to be knocked away by what felt to be some sort of explosion.

"For students of the oh so prestigious U.A, they sure look like a bunch of cowards, don't they?" one of the criminals mocked.

"You're right about that. This is going to be easy!" another replied, as they all started to approach the young American, who was just starting to recover from the blast.

"Wh-What do I do? I c-can't really fight them by myself, can I?" she thought, trying to get up from the ground. "I-If Annie and the others were here… t-then maybe they would fight. T-They could tell me what to do, I can't do anything by myself!"

"I call the first shot!" said a criminal, who suddenly turned his entire right arm into a spiked mace. "Nighty night, little girl!" he said, about to swing down hard, until a voice called out to him.

"Get away from my friend!" shouted a male voice.

Taking the villain by surprise, Ojiro came in and smashed his tail into the maced-criminal face with enough strength to knock him to the floor. Afterwards, he then hit a couple other criminals away from the blue girls before putting himself between the American and the villains. Some of the villains that he had hit, managed to recover from his surprise attack. He got himself into a proper battlestand as he saw some of the criminals glaring at him specifically.

"Vector, are you ok?" he asked the girl, turning back a little bit to make sure that she wasn't harmed.

"O-Ojiro?" she asked back.

"Well, looks like someone wants to play hero, eh?" a villain asked in a mocking way.

"I don't play hero. I'm planning on being one!" he told them, preparing for whatever happened next. "Vector, can you fight?" he asked her, yet the girl looked unsure of herself.

"I-I… I d-don't… I'm not sure if I could be of help… I'm only going to get in your way, just leave already!" she told him, almost sounding heartbroken.

How can that be? And she getting in his way? In what world could that ever happen? He saw her battling that class-B girl that could shapeshift and stretch in even terms. No, scratch that, she was practically in the lead throughout most of the fight and that was despite the fact that her quirk, or powers, were suited for support rather than combat. Aizawa-sensei himself stated it before, she may as well be one of the most skillful students when it came to close quarters combat. Hell, he was sure that she was probably better than him, how could she think that she would get in the way?

He turned once more to have a glance at vector once again and… she was crying?

Maybe it was the smoke around them from the fire (they really need to leave that place as soon as they could), but she looked like she was about to start crying. Not only that, but she was hugging herself as well. Trembleling as if she were a small child. That… that was something that he didn't expect.

Sure, they were currently in a very unpleasant situation. Ojiro himself was scared as well, borderlines terrified even. They were surrounded by villains, in a fake city engulfed in flames, all by themselves and with the knowledge that their other classmates were probably in a similar predicament too. And that was while ignoring the fact that they came here with enough confidence to outright state that they were going to kill All Might. THE All Might. Of course he would be scared too, you would have to be crazy not to acknowledge the degree of danger that they were in (either that or be Bakugo and maybe Parker).

But something about her countenance told something other than just being scared. It was almost like she had just woken up from a terrible nightmare… or maybe a bad memory?

Did Vector go through something like this in the past?

If that's the case then no wonder she's terrified. He thankfully has never had to go through something like that in the past, but he suspected that anyone that got to relieve a traumatic experience might behave the same way that Vector was. With that knowledge in mind, he tightened his fists and lifted them at the villains.

"Don't worry Vector, I'll take care of them." he declared, surprising Vector and amusing the villains.

"You? Please, you don't look that tough!" mocked one villain.

"Yeah, what can you do against all of us?!" asked another one, making Ojiro glared at the group of villains… yet also to feel concern.

He wasn't an idiot. They were outnumbered eight to one and they didn't look like some pushovers either (well, most of them). He was aware that he may as well not be the strongest in the class. Compared to the likes of Todoroki, Bakugo, Midoriya, Parker and others top students, he may as well be canon fodder. Even compared to the rest of his peers, he felt like he was rather average compared to them at most. Even Vector was more than superior to him and she didn't look like she could even lift a finger against these guys in her current state. Honestly, what could someone like him do against a group of villains?

"O-Ojiro, p-please leave! J-Just get somewhere safe be-"

"I won't be leaving you alone!" he interrupted her, much to her surprise as he grew more serious. "They're right, I don't look that tough and even I know I'm far from the strongest in our class. You yourself are better than I am, Vector. I already know that."

"H-He thinks I'm better than him?" she questioned herself, caught by surprise by what he said.

"Maybe to many, the most logical thing to do, is to just leave this place as fast as possible… But I won't do it." he said, forgetting any sense of personal concern as he saw the villains starting to get ready to pummel him to the ground. "I came to U.A because I want to do good! How can I ever call myself a hero if I were to let something bad happen when I had the power to do something about it…! More importantly… How can I look myself in the mirror, knowing that I let something happen to a fellow classmate and a friend of mine!" he declared as the villains all started to approach them.

"Cute speech kid, but now that you're done entertaining us, we're going to show you just how dangerous we can be!" one of them said as they all charged at the two teens, with Ojiro standing his ground and with Valerie still processing what she heard.

"F-Friend?"

"UWAAAA?! IS THAT THE FLOOD ZONE?!" Midoriya asked, as he suddenly appeared a couple of meters in the air and soon enough, he was falling into the water.

Thankfully for him, it wasn't high enough that it caused him any serious harm, nor did he lose consciousness. But man if it didn't sting when he made contact. He tried to recover quickly, trying to figure out what just happened. That mist villain with the wrapping quirk, or whatever, was he really after All Might's head? Just what was going on?

"Oho, finally! Some chum for me to enjoy!" a voice said.

Turning around, he saw a villain with the appearance of a humanoid shark-like man.

Midoriya screamed at the sight of the villain (which was probably not the best idea, considering that he was still underwater). He tried to swim away from the evil-doer, but he had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to make it that far. He was a decent swimmer, but if he were to judge by appearance, then the villain was probably a natural swimmer himself. He saw how he started to approach him quickly, with his jaws wide open, but thankfully, someone swooped in quickly, slamming into the villain and stopping him before he could do any real damage. That someone was the frog-like girl Asui Tsuyu.

She called out for him, as she wrapped her frog-like tongue around his waist. She then used the villain as support and as she kicked him downwards, she propeled herself upwards alongside Midority. Upon reaching the surface, she swung him towards the large yacht that was in the middle of the flood zone. Tsuyu then gently lowered the green-haired boy down as she stayed in the water for a little bit more.

"That was a little too close." he muttered to himself, as something landed hard next to him.

That something was actually a someone though, and that someone was Mineta, who landed a little harsher to the yat's floor compared to Midoriya. It was almost as if he had been thrown there instead. He was currently questioning where did he came from, since he didn't see him in the water. Maybe he was being carried by Tsuyu and he just didn't notice him. But if so, then why did she throw him there?

Speaking of their savior, she was just climbing the side of the yacht to reunite with her two classmates.

"Thank you Asui-san. You saved my life." he told the girl, who just reached them.

"Call me Tsu." she flatley told him.

Tsuyu Asui - Quirk: Frog!

She can do whatever a frog can… who knew?!

"T-T-T-T-T-Thanks Tsuyu-san!" he said, stuttering because he wasn't expecting for a girl to tell him to call him by her first name. "This is a first for me…. I think."

"We're in a pretty bad situation, don't you think?" she asked the two.

"Y-Yeah… what the villain said earlier…" Midoriya said, growing more serious and concerned for what was happening around them. "They knew about the school's schedule and looking at things more clearly, they were most likely responsible for the break in of Wednesday. They were probably waiting for an opportunity to strike, just like Todoroki-kun said."

"B-B-But, do you honestly think they could actually kill All Might?!" Mineta said, discarding said idea. "Once he gets here, then everything will be over in a matter of seconds! He's going to go all BLAM and KABLOW on them!"

"Mineta, don't you think that they're here because they might actually have a way to kill All Might?"Tsu questioned.

"Huh?"

"Otherwise, why would they go through the trouble of coming here just to get flattened?" she asked again, bringin the boy's confidence to the ground. "Also, they all threatened to kill us until he arrived. I'm not sure how long we can last until help arrives."

And because the world clearly wanted to give the guy a heart attack, he saw a lot of somethings swimming towards the yacht.

"Hey, come back here so that I can kill you all this time!" shouted the shark villain from before, who had just resurfaced.

And he wasn't the only one either, for soon enough, many other villains with similar quirks all started to surround the yacht. The trio grew more serious by the amount of villains surrounding them. Even As- Tsu was starting to grow a little nervous, despite not showing it. Midoriya himself was taking everything into consideration. They were surrounded by villains that apparently were confident enough to try and kill the Symbol of Peace. He was still trying to piece the reasoning why, he knew that it couldn't be just because he's been instrumental in the battle against evil. It had to go deeper than just that. The only thing that they could do now, was only to fight. To fight and do whatever they could to turn the tides of battle.

"The only thing we can do… Is to fight!" he declared to the two of his classmates, trying to be as confident as possible.

"... WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'FIGHT'?! ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?! THIS GUYS ARE VILLAINS THAT WANT TO KILL ALL MIGHT, YOU'RE CONTRADICTING YOURSELF MIDORIYA! THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS TO WAIT TO BE RESCUED BY THE HEROES!" shouted Mineta.

"These villains are obviously specialized in underwater battle."

"DON'T IGNORE ME!"

"So does that mean that they had knowledge about the layout of U.S.J prior to the invasion and because of that, were able to get the villains with that in mind?" asked Tsuyu.

"Exactly! But there's just something odd about their behavior and actions." noted Midoriya. "In an underwater combat zone, I believe that's where you shine the most! Right, Asu- I mean, Tsuyu-san?"

"SO WHAT?!" asked a nervous Mineta.

"In other words, I don't think they know about students' quirk, right?"

"That makes sense. Otherwise, they would have thrown me in that fire zone. That doesn't sound like fun to me." Tsuyu noted, pointing at the red dome, in which the flaming city was located. "But then again, maybe there are some that are a little smarter."

"What is that supposed to mean?! They just threw us all over the place!" asked Mineta, a little more calmed compared to before, but still pretty nervous nonetheless.

"Didn't you notice how that female villain that looked like a civilian was looking at Parker-chan?" she asked, surprising them at the revelation.

"She was looking at Parker-san?" asked Midoriya as Tsuyu noded.

"It was hard to notice, but I think she was looking directly at her. Like she was ignoring everything but her and focusing only on her." the girl told the two boys what she saw. "I even saw Parker-chan noticing it too."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! You're saying that some of these villains are going to single us out if they get the chance?!" asked Mineta.

"If we're lucky, then it's only isolating to her, but even that's troublesome. Right?" asked Midoriya, not liking the idea.

"We know that she's tough. But as good as she can be, how long could she last against villains that are capable of killing All Might? And that's without mentioning that the villain could both be one of the smart ones and may also be alone with her?" Tsuyu mentioned.

And the idea scared the trio quite a bit. Midoriya in particular was feeling a feeling similar to the one that he felt over a year ago. Back when he was about to be killed by that sludge villain. If it weren't or All Might, he wouldn't even be standing right now. He would be six feet under. He was scared that the villain that was singling Parker out of them could be as dangerous as the villain that almost ended his life, if not more. And what's worse, while that was the one case that was almost confirmed, it may not be the only one. What about the others? Uraraka, Kachan, Vector, Yaoyorozu and the rest? What's stopping the others from having a similar situation?

However, he also felt something else. He remembered that same exact sludge villain, escaping All Might (which may or may not be because a certain fanboy decided to do something that could be considered completely idiotic). That same villain almost killed Kachan as well. He remembered the fear and the sensation of helplessness of that day. He was watching as someone that he considered a friend (in spite of all the bad things that he has done to him in the past), someone that he admired, being close to death, with him being unable to truly do anything about it…

And yet… he was the first one to try something.

"I… I didn't have any real shot back then… but I still tried to help." Midoriya thought, tightening his fists. "If I could do it back then… then I can do it now!"

CRASH

A huge crater formed in the middle of the faux city that was in ruins. From the ruble, a figure started to move a little. For quite some time, the figure had been fighting against an opponent that was determined to kill her. Some crazy lady that had a grudge against her father and because of that, wanted to take it out on the girl.

"AGHH!" Annie flinched in pain, holding her right shoulder. "Well… if I'm lucky, that pop sound was my shoulder getting back where it belonged."

"I may not know where you felt, but I can still hear you, little runt!" Joey shouted from another part of the faux city. "Come on! Don't tell me that this is all you have! Where's the fun if things are easy?" she mocked, as Annie frowned.

"Yeah, sure. Because fighting a crazy lady with exploding marbles is just a walk in the park." Annie murmured to herself.

She started to try and look around for any sort of cove, when she then realized… why not just get inside one of the buildings? She almost felt like smacking herself for not thinking that before getting ragged across so many walls. She quickly made her way to the inside of one of the buildings, hoping that she could try and recover her breath a little bit before the crazy lady started to bombard the place with her exploding magenta orbs. The interior was somewhat similar to the one of the fake buildings of ground Beta, so she at least had some idea of how to move inside of them since she saw the others having their battle trials there. After making her way to an isolated room, she allowed herself to rest next to a wall for a bit.

"Phew, at least I can get a little break…" she said, trying to rub her shoulder a little, but she winced once more. "Nope, still hurts. They don't make it look that painful when someone dislocates something in the movies. Then again, it's the movies, what was I expecting?"

As she leaned her back against the wall of the room, while sitting on the floor, Annie tried to cope with what was happening. A group of criminals came to her school and started to ramble about how they were going to kill All Might. That was something that she wasn't expecting to be honest. What looked to be a person made out of purple mist then teleported most of the class to different places all over U.S.J. And to top it all off? She got herself her own supervillain that was trying to kill her because she had a vendetta against her father… because of course.

"Ugh, please don't be a crazy ex-girlfriend." she murmured.

Maybe she was getting things a little confused, but she was pretty sure that there are a couple of superheroes that had some sort of romantic history with some of their enemies. The Enchantress was obsessed with Thor. She heard a rumor that Iron Fist had an adventure with the daughter of one of his enemies or something. There's the whole love pentagon thing with Cyclops, Ema Frost (which totally counts since she was kind of a villain back then), Jean Grey… a clone of Jean Grey? And she was sure of some other nonsense. That famous nightstand or whatever that apparently She-Hulk had with the Juggernaut way back when (something that made her shivered and feel nausea)... Was Iron Man ever in a relationship with Madame Masque? Because she feels like that could be the case.

And considering her father's romantic love life… nope… she would rather not think that. She likes sleeping without being too traumatized… more than she probably is.

"Ok Parker, focus! What do you actually know about all of this?" she asked herself. "Well, a baddie is after my skin because of my dad… which is already frustrating as it is, because the only reason you're on the other side of the world was because he wanted to avoid this whole situation from happening, but whatever. Not like it's bothering me in the least…! The others are probably also dealing with the other criminals in other parts of the place. I saw that there are at least six different areas outside of the main plaza. Hobo teach Aizawa was in the plaza, ms. Thirteen was with Mezo, Ochako, Mina, Rikido and Hanta and they all looked like they were outside of the purple mist guy's reach. Maybe that means that they're still at the entrance. Valerie and Tenya got out to look for help. That means that fifteen of us or so may as well be spreaded all across the different areas. Hopefully, they all appeared near each other, that would at least be more comfortable for them… it would have been nice if I weren't alone here, but sure! I'm already used to this stupid luck of mine!"

Then, she remembered the last thing that had happened before the group attacked. It was her getting into an argument with pretty much most of the class. She was pretty sure that she pissed them off, with the exception of Valerie and maybe Momo and Mashirao. She wasn't sure about Ochako and Izuku, but considering that they all seemed to be big fans of All Might (especially Izuku, considering the shine in his eyes whenever he saw him), then she wouldn't be surprised if they were to start hating her. She was already sure that Tenya and Katsuki hated her (which wasn't that much of a surprise) and Shoto… it was really hard to read that guy.

"Yeah… maybe it's best that I'm not with them. It would be preferable for me to be by myself. Especially since the wacko lady may as well be more dangerous than the others." she told herself, suddenly hearing something weird.

Were those explosions?

They weren't from the wacko lady, she was sure. These ones sounded like they were from farther away. They sounded like… Katsuki?

"Just my luck, apparently the only guy nearby to help me is napalm brain." she complained, but shook it off. "If those explosions are any indication, then it would mean that he's fighting someone. Maybe not someone that tough, maybe someone tougher than wacko lady. I'm not sure… no." she said, standing up.

She thought about going there, but why? Next to Tenya, Katsuki probably hated her the most. And besides, as much of a jerk as he is, she just can't barge in and expect for him to help her out with the crazy lady. For all intents and purposes, he's probably having hell right now. And even if not, they are not on the best of terms. Who's to say that the criminals weren't more than happy to help each other out? One wrong move on their part and they would be dead.

"... I can take her. I mean, she's pretty tough so far, but I can probably take her, right?" she asked herself. "And even if I can't knock her down, maybe I just need to get her out of my back long enough for me to regroup with the others… And as much as I dislike the idea, maybe I could help Katsuki out and then we could go with the others."

Yeah, that was probably the best she could do right now. Take crazy lady out first, regroup with the others later. Although hopefully, help would have arrived by then. She heard another explosion, this time a little closer than the others. Meaning that crazy lady is probably tired of looking for her and just started to bombard the place. But now, Annie was determined. She was going to have her comeback against her. Round one may have gone to her, but the second one was sure to be the spider's win!

"What's the matter runt?! Are you scared?! Now that daddy isn't here to take care of you, the only thing you can do is hide?! Don't make me laugh! Joey mocked, as she hurled more explosive marbles all around the fake street.

She had grown tired of their little hide and seek game. If the rugrat didn't want to come out, then she would force her to come out! It didn't matter if she had to blow up the whole place, she would! So long as the runt was among the debris, she didn't care! The more stuff that she destroyed, the more irritated she grew. Where that hell was she-

"Incomin!" she heard.

Turning around, she saw Annie swinging towards her and before she could put a bubble shield, she kicked her in the back. Sending Joey crashing into the roof of a three story building as Annie landed perched herself to the side of the taller building next to it. Picking herself up, Joey turned around and glared at the teenage girl, not without also smirking.

"Tired of hiding, little girl? Honestly, I wasn't expecting you to be some sort of coward."

"Nonono, lady. You have it all wrong. I wasn't hiding, I just know that you old-timers need some time to vent your frustrations about having another wrinkle appearing in your forehead. So I just let you be." she mocked, irritating Joey.

"Old-timer, huh?" she asked, with angry eyes flashing with power. "You know what? Just when I didn't think I couldn't enjoy tearing you apart… This might be more pleasing than I first thought!"

"The only thing pleasing about this is me in my bed sleeping like a baby for three days straight after I moped the floor with your stupid face! So swears, the Skull-Spider!" she told her, as the two began another duel.

Meanwhile back with Valerie, she was watching as Ojiro kept some of the villains at bay by himself. As threatening as they tried to sound, they weren't really that strong. He has already managed to knock unconscious about three or four all by himself. She watched in awe at his display of skills… yet also in shame.

He praised her for her skills, yet she was too afraid to even move an inch to help out. Here she was, standing on the sidelines like a scared child while Ojiro was risking his life to assure the safety of the two of them. If Annie were here… or the others… they would have already helped out. They were strong, not her. They could be heroes, not her. She was starting to feel disgusted with herself. She grew up idolizing people that stood for something. An assembly of the bravest, strongest, most caring individuals banding together to fight injustice all around. She wanted to be just like them, to be an Avenger… but now.

"I don't deserve to be here."she cried to herself. "How pathetic can I be? Your heroes took you in without hesitation, you managed to enter the best hero school this side of the world and for what? For you to act like a scared kid? You now have friends that are willing to protect you and you sit here on the ground without doing anything of usage? He was… H-He was right! You are just a useless little-" Valerie berated herself with tears in her eyes, yet stopped when she saw something.

One of the villains that the tailed boy had apparently knocked down managed to get back up. He looked pretty mad about being hit in the back of the neck with a tail the size of his upper body. He turned his fists into a pair of maces made of stone and when the boy was distracted knocking down another villain, he made his move.

"Ojiro, look out!" she screamed.

Hearing her voice, Ojiro turned around just in time for the villain to smash one of the maces in his head. The blow disoriented him and allowed another villain to punch him in the gut and knocking the air out of him. Ojiro staggered back a little, clutching his stomach before another villain knocked him to the ground. Valerie watched in fear as the other criminals all started to reform and walked towards the fallen boy. She wanted to do something, anything! But why, why didn't her body move?!

She felt weak, weak like always. But what always kept her from breaking even more when she was a child was to try and think of those she considered strong. Those that she believed were the strongest. She saw Captain America, Janet, Tony, Dane, Annie and she knew that they were all strong. She wanted to be even half of what they were, but how? She was terrified! She kept asking herself over and over what would they do? What would Annie, or Robbie, or the Avengers would do if they were in her shoes? But she knew the answer… She knew damned well what the answer was and yet she was still stuck! Why? If she knew the answer, then why does she not do anything? Is she that helpless? Or… is she asking the wrong question?

If so, then what should she be asking?! If she knew what Annie and the others would do, then what the heck should she ask?! How to run away?! How to hide? What does she do…?! What does she want?

"Makes you feel better… that tail of yours is hella strong." said a villain to the dazed Ojiro, ready to end the young boy's life.

The villain raised his maced hands and was about to smash them into the tailed-student's head. But before it could even connect, a portal appeared between the two. And from it, Valerie popped out of it and quickly struck at the criminal's throat. The criminal staggered backwards, moving his hands at his throat and not being able to react to the right hook directed at his face. The blow was so strong that it finally brought down the villain, who ended up having a really swol eye as a result.

The rest of the criminals were stunned at what they saw. Lifting their gaze from their fallen comrade, they saw that blue girl standing in between them and Ojiro. She was shaking, her fists trembling and her eyes filled with tears. Yet, there she was. Standing up to the would-be villains.

"V-Vector?" Ojiro asked, looking up and seeing the back of his fellow classmate.

"... I… I… I w-won't let you hurt him again!" she said with a voice that, despite being quite shaky, was filled with determination.

She now knew what she wanted… and that was to defend her friends… to stand up alongside them.

She wanted to fight.

My Hero Academia: Legacy Bits! - General Class!

"Alright kids, any question?" asked the science teacher of class 1-C.

He had just finished his explanation of what D.N.A was. Who was it that discovered it and what exactly was its function in the body of any living organism. To some, it was rather easy to understand. To others… they were smelling their brains being on fire. Yet, as most teenagers, when a teacher asked if there were any questions about the subject, they decided to bottle them to themselves for some unknown reason. Thankfully, Hitoshi was not one of the ones with a fried brain. Sure, it was a little hard to understand for him at first, but he eventually caught on to what the teacher was trying to explain. He had to thank Annie later, if not for her, he would probably be as lost as the rest of his classmates.

"I'll ask again, are there any questions? Don't be shy, maybe the person next to you has the same question as you. Come on, this may as well be on the test." he told the class, yet no one raised their hand. "Ok, then I'm going to assume that you all understood the subject perfectly." he assumed.

"Well, it's official. I'm doomed to fail this class." Agoyamato said, who was sitting next to Hitoshi.

"Yeah, I'm already feeling like I'm way too slow when it comes to this." mentioned Togeike, scratching her head.

"If you had questions, you should have told the teacher." replied Hitoshi.

"And become the laughingstock of the classroom? I don't think so." said the girl. "Come on, don't tell me that you actually understood him?"

"I think that I get the gist of it. Annie gave me a few pointers about a couple of things yesterday." he said, hearing the other two kids complaining.

It wasn't a secret that the students of the General Course hated those of the Hero Course. In fact, the only ones that probably didn't know about it, were most of the ones in the Hero Course themselves. And among those students of class C, it was fairly known that Shinso was probably the one that disliked them the most… So why was he always seen with students of class A and class B? He always sat with them at lunch period. He always left school with at least one of them. Heck, they have seen him going out of his way to talk to them if he sees them in the hallway. It was quite contradictory from him, if they were honest.

"Seriously? That hero course girl?" asked Agoyamato, making Shinso roll his eyes. "Why do you even hang out with her and those other hero course kids? I thought you hated them?"

"I do, but trust me. Annie and the others are the only ones worth something in the hero course. Especially in class A."

"And why do you call her by her first name? I'm pretty sure that Annie is a first name in America, right?" asked Togeike.

"She likes to be called by her first name, that's all."

"And does she call you by your first name too, or what?" asked Agoyamato.

"She calls everyone by their first name."

"Isn't that being a little too forward with people?" asked the girl once more.

"That's just how Annie is."

"That makes no sense." complained the two of them.

"What doesn't make sense? Togeike? Agoyamato? Do you want me to go over something?" asked the teacher, who overheard the two of them a little and made them feel as stiff as statues.

"N-No sir!" the two replied, as the teacher nodded.

"Very well. Then I'll be explaining what you'll have to hand me on Monday." said the teacher, as the student groaned in complaining. "Now, now, this is important. I want you to write me an essay about the topic of D.N.A of at least five page."

"Five page? Come on, Hori-sensei! Don't you think that's a little too much?" one of the students complained.

"I could give you the double if you would prefer." he said, as the student went pale and shook his head as he remained quiet. "You are U.A students. Just because you're not on the hero course, doesn't mean that you'll have it easy. The school motto is Plus Ultra for a reason."

"So, can we write anything that we want as long as it's about D.N.A?" asked Hitoshi.

"Excellent question, Shinos. No, I have already decided the topics that you'll have to research." he said, pulling out a bag from his desk. "In this bag, there are the topics that you'll be researching. Come along and take your pick. Whatever you get will be your topic, alright?" said the teacher as the students started to line up to see what their subject will be.

"This is going to be a nightmare." mumbled Agoyamato.

"We barely understood a thing and he wants a five page essay?"

"At minimum." corrected Shinso.

"Why are you so calm, Shinso-san?" asked Togeike. "Don't tell me this is going to be a breeze to you?!"

"I didn't say that. But I think I can pull it off." he told the two. "Besides, if I get stuck with something, I can always ask Annie for help."

"Ugh, again with her? Why would you ask a hero course student for help? They're probably too high on themselves to pay us any attention." said the boy of large chin.

"As I said, she actually deserves to be in the hero course. Plus, she's probably the smartest girl in the school." he replied, nonchilantly.

"She got weird goo all over the cafeteria yesterday. I don't think a smart person would do that."

"That was mostly Hatsume. If not for Annie, our skin would have a bunch of green dots or something like that. She told me that."

"She's making that up."

"I believe her." the purple haired boy told the girl. "If you guys need help, I could set you up with her." he offered.

To be honest, Togeike and Agoyamato weren't exactly his friends. More like the other kids in his class that he speaks to from time to time. But he was actually looking forward to try and expand his horizons, as his parents put it. He figured that maybe this was the best way to do it. Plus, it could help them see why Annie (and by extension, the others) was deserving of the hero course. Although if they didn't want it, he wouldn't be mad at them.

"Yeah, right. I would rather eat my shoe than to ask a hero course student for help." said Agoyamato.

"Yeah, me too… as in, my shoe, not yours. That would be weird." clarified the girl.

"Alright, just know that I offered it to you." Hitoshi said, as his turn was up.

He took the piece of paper and then looked it up. It said that his topic was D.N.A and the relationship with a person's traits. Simple enough, so he showed it to his teacher and he wrote it down. He then went back to his seat and waited for the other two to get their topic. When they returned, they looked as pale as a ghost. He asked them what they got and instead of telling him, they just showed him what the papers said. Agoyamato's said that his topic to research was 'D.N.A splicing techniques' while Togeike's said 'D.N.A compatibility between species'... Yeah, he got lucky compared to them.

Afterclass, they started to take Shinso's offer into consideration.
