AN: Hello fellow readers! After a really tough recovery process, I'm back! Seriously, I had to deal with a post surgery problem which took longer than expected. It's all healed now and I can continue typing this story. Thanks for the congratulations messages from the one year anniversary note.
By the way, in regards to Ultron. The Ultron arc will have to wait because there are a couple of arcs before we reach that. So be patient. Also, the MHA manga is going to end. It is sad to hear but at least it has been ten years since its original run. Lots of ups and downs but a hell of a run.
I don't own anything at all.
New York City: Central Park
A peaceful day in Central Park has civilians doing their usual time. At the fountain, a group of familiar people were just hanging around. One individual with blonde hair was walking towards the group with food.
"Here you go, Aunt May." Gwen Stacy said as she handed the old lady her food.
"Why thank you, Gwen dear." Aunt May said taking the food in kindness. "You, Mary Jane, Harry, and Liz have helped me tremendously since Peter went on a trip."
"Yeah. Where did Peter go exactly?" Harry Osborn said.
"Petey told me that the Daily Bugle has assigned him to go to Washington D.C. for pictures." Liz Allan explained. "The one where the Avengers and the ten new heroes are getting medals of heroism."
"Hearing that makes me wish I asked Peter to go with him." Mary Jane said.
Gwen was about to say something until a light suddenly appeared as a naked man with tattooed marks on his back, leaving a big crater there. Everyone around the man got scared and either ran away or shocked in horror.
"Oh dear…" Aunt May said in surprise. "Someone, please help this man."
"Um…Dad!" Gwen Stacy called out her father. "Get over here!"
Captain Stacy, who was nearby, heard his daughter and saw smoke near her. He along with another Detective Jean DeWolff ran to the scene where the smoke was. Once they arrived, both of them spotted the man. They then notice the man looking terrified.
"Help me. Please, someone." The naked man said. "They're coming. They're coming for me."
"Who's coming for you?" Captain Stacy asked.
The naked man then pointed up in the sky which confused the police officers.
?
One individual began looking out into space and suddenly sensed something. "I found him. He's in the Milky Way Galaxy. Earth."
"I didn't expect him to be on Earth." Another individual said. "Haven't been there in a while. It'll be nice to stop by for a bit before finishing up our contract."
"Well then, time to head for earth." A small individual said. "Let's punch it."
Washington D.C.: Outside The Capitol Building
Midoriya looked out at the sight of thousands of people gathered for the medal ceremony. He looked to his side and saw nine of his classmates as well as the Avengers. Midoriya looked out to the crowd again and saw the crowd continue to fill up. "There's so many people gathered here."
"This is the first time I've been to Washington D.C." Asui said as she looked out into the crowd. "I've never seen that many people in attendance since the sports festival."
"Agreed! We should relish this moment as our heroics are rewarded!" Iida said. "I wish our teachers and family were here to see it."
"Same. Never in my life, we would get an accomplishment like this." Yaoyorozu said.
"After everything that happened to you kids since your arrival, I'd say you deserve this." Iron Man said as he saw The President going to the microphone.
The President tapped the mic a few times to get everyone's attention. "My fellow Americans. It is my honor to be here today to reward these medals of heroism to the brave heroes for their effort in our darkest time. Their selfless heroism will be remembered for years to come. We are forever in their debt."
"Now I shall award these medals to the Avengers and…" The President then covered the microphone and looked at the ten class 1-A students. "We have your hero names but do you kids have a team name or something? Some people in the public seem to think you're a team. I don't recall the Avengers giving you membership."
The ten class 1-A students were surprised by the president's question. Iida was about to speak until he felt an armored hand on his shoulder. The class rep looked to see Iron Man stopped him and began to speak.
"Everyone in the team had a meeting before this and we came to an agreement. Considering that you're hero students, you've proved yourselves what it takes to be heroes. Not only going beyond Plus Ultra but also motivates us to keep going too. Even though it's temporary and you kids are going back to your universe when the vibration frequency data tracker finds it, we want the ten of you to be Avengers."
The ten class 1-A students were shocked after what Iron Man said. They never had that thought cross their minds about joining an elite group like the Avengers. The students smiled while Bakugo smirked at the idea even if their memberships were only temporary. All nodded in approval as Iron Man let them know the details later and looked at the president with a thumbs up.
The President nodded as he announced the medals were being awarded to the Avengers. The President began giving the medals to each member of the Avengers while shaking their hands. Once he finished the main team, The President then proceeded to give the medals to ten class 1-A students. Midoriya was a bundle of nerves when the President gave him the medal. Iida did his gesture that made the President chuckle. The President then gave the rest of Class 1-A their medals.
By the time Tokoyami got his medal of heroism, he noticed several people staring at him with anger and scowls. He began to feel uncomfortable as those certain people began to stand out more than individuals who are happy for them.
The rest of class 1-A students began to notice Tokoyami's emotion. They then noticed where he's looking and saw a few people giving them glares. Jiro and Asui later noticed more glared eyes on them as well. Both, like Tokoyami, felt uncomfortable with how people are looking at them.
Bakugo was about to leave his spot and go to those people. He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and noticed Wolverine stopped him. Bakugo was about to say something until the X-Men leader began to speak.
"Bub, don't. I know you want to speak your mind but don't. Let them be."
Bakugo took a hard pill to swallow and returned to his position. He noted later to yell at the X-Man into why he stopped him.
The Medal ceremony went on as the president gave one last call out to the Avengers and the ten class 1-A students. The crowd cheered and applauded as the ceremony concluded.
Inside the Capitol Building: After the Medal Ceremony
"Explain to me why the hell I can't teach those wimpy morons a lesson in manners!" Bakugo exclaimed at Wolverine. "Bird face, Frog face, and Ears helped save the world! And those extras giving them death glares was the thanks they got!"
"To help you with your image, bub." Wolverine explained. "Even though your three classmates did a heroic thing, there are going to be people that'll still resent them."
"I don't understand…" Uraraka said and asked Wolverine. "Why do some people resent a few of us?"
"Ever since the ten of you appeared, the media has highlighted you for good and bad. Some even labeled a few of you Mutants. Which made some people in the public agree to it." Wolverine continued explaining.
"The X-Men did tell us about how the term Mutants is different between our universe and here." Iida said. "It's…unsettling."
"It is unfortunate for you to experience public perception of mutants." Black Panther said. "But it is how the term goes by in this universe."
Wasp chimed in and said. "Yeah. You kids are lucky to live in a universe where mutants live freely. The closest thing is Genosha but it's only one part of the world."
Captain America began to speak up. "Despite what some people think, you young heroes always have the mindset of doing the right thing. It doesn't matter what anyone in the world say. They don't define who you are. You do. Some by your words but also your actions. I've been watching the ten of you. You're all heroes in my book, mutant or not. And I'm proud to fight alongside all of you as Avengers. The world will always need heroes, whether it's in this universe or another."
The ten class 1-A students took Captain America's speech with great aspirations. It reminded them of All Might's speeches of being a true hero. They now see how Captain America is an inspiration to many people like how All Might is in their universe. The ten class 1-A students were lost in thought until a voice began speaking up.
"That's one hell of a speech from the legendary Captain America."
The ten class 1-A students and the Avengers looked to where the voices came from. Three females with what looks like superhero outfits. One black haired female was wearing a red and yellow full bodysuit with yellow gloves and boots. Another female was wearing a white and blue outfit with a black mask. The last woman had a red and blue outfit with a star in the middle along with a red scarf. She also had thigh high boots and a black with white lensed mask. The students want to know who they are until one of the Avengers starts to speak.
"Carol! It's so good to see you!" Wasp said as she hugged her friend. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling fine, Jan." Carol said as she let go of the hug. "Those new powers I got are now more tolerable. I gotta say they're not bad."
Midoriya suddenly asked Carol a question since he heard powers from her. "Are you a superhero by any chance, ma'am?"
"Yeah. SWORD Agent: Carol Danvers. I go by the codename Ms. Marvel." Ms. Marvel said as she remembered something. "Oh and my powers are flight, Energy Absorption, projecting Photon Blast. Nick Fury told us to be prepared with describing our powers in case any of you kids ask. Especially you Deku."
"SWORD?" Uraraka wondered. "Is it like SHIELD?"
"Yes and no." The Black haired woman in a red and yellow suit said. "It's an Organization like SHIELD but SWORD deals with extraterrestrial activity. Our base is Kang's Damocles Base."
"Wait? Kang's base is being used as a headquarters?" Todoroki wondered.
"That explains the report I saw in regards to Damocles Base." Falcon said.
Uraraka then spoke and asked the woman. "Are you a superhero or agent as well? Ms…"
"SWORD Agent: Jessica Drew. My code name is Spider-Woman." Spider-Woman explained. "My powers are flight, bio-energy projection, and Spider-physiology. It's similar to Spider-Man except for web shooting and Spider-Sense."
"Wait a minute?! There's a Spider-Woman?!" Spider-Man exclaimed as he looked at Spider-Woman. "How the hell no one told me about this?!"
"SHIELD and SWORD preferred for you to not know about me, Peter." Spider-Woman said which shocked Spider-Man. "Yes, I know who you are. Smartest student of Midtown High School and living with your lovely Aunt May in Queens, New York."
"Despite your age, you saved many lives and never asked for recognition." Ms. Marvel said. "I'm amazed you accepted to join the team."
"That's what happens after helping the Avengers against the Serpent Society while also saving people on a subway train by myself." Spider-Man commented. "I was speechless when Shell-Head offered me the Avenger membership."
"Well…That and I'm getting sick of Jameson's claims of blaming you for things like police casualties." Iron Man said to Spider-Man. "I don't know why you're still working for him. We have money, Peter."
"Hearing that perhaps the idiot deserved to get his face blasted off, despite looking like an accident." Bakugo said as he heard of J. Jonah Jameson's name.
Suddenly a blonde woman wearing a mask began speaking. "In which most of us here want to thank you for shutting his trap up."
"Are you an Agent of SWORD just like Ms. Marvel and Spider-Woman?" Yaoyorozu asked the blonde agent.
"I'm not in SWORD but I'm a SHIELD agent. Agent Bobbi Morse. I go by the name Mockingbird." Mockingbird said. "I don't have powers but I'm skilled in hand to hand combat and this costume can help me glide or fly."
"I'm still surprised you decided to go by a codename now, Bobbi." Hawkeye said. "As well as joining SHIELD's spec ops unit."
"Well, with you, Natasha, and Sam being with the Avengers most of the time, someone has to take the reins." Mockingbird replied.
Iron Man smirked and suddenly saw a familiar face coming towards him. "Rhodey! How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine, Tony. Congratulations on the medals." Rhodey said as he looked at the ten class 1-A students. "I've been hearing about the ten of you all over media outlets. It's good to meet all of you in person and you deserve those medals too."
"Thank you, sir!" Iida said in gratitude. "You must be a friend to Mr. Stark?"
"Yes. I'm Lt. Col. James Rhodes or Rhodey. I also go by the name War Machine." War Machine explained.
"War Machine? That's a manly hero name!" Kirishima said excitedly.
Midoriya suddenly remembered something in regards to War Machine. "I remember seeing a file on you as well as the Iron Man armor that's separate from the others."
"Yeah. It's my armor." War Machine said. "Like Tony's except for multiple firearms, missiles, and grenades."
Bakugo smirked as he heard the description of War Machine's armor. His other classmates were surprised to hear a version of an Iron Man armor with weapons.
"It sounds like every single military weapon fused into one Iron Man armor." Yaoyorozu said. "I should take note of that later."
Avengers Mansion: Training Room
After Washington D.C., the ten class 1-A students traveled back to the Avengers Mansion. They were then informed to meet with the team in the training room and were asked to wear something different. Yaoyorozu immediately knew the reason and began creating new clothes for her classmates. All ten Class 1-A students appeared in the training room wearing a blue and red like uniform with the white letters UA on it.
"So…These are your P.E. uniforms you wore?" Wasp said as she looked at the students' clothes.
"Yes it is." Iida said. "We felt more comfortable with training in our traditional PE uniforms during summer camps and the sports festival."
"Better than those gym stuff I have to wear in my school." Spider-Man commented as he looked at Yaoyorozu. "That explains why you had those clothes ready for them. I'm guessing you created it?"
"Yes. I remember what material our P.E. clothes are made out of." Yaoyorozu explained. "It also reminds us of where our hero work started."
"Although it's great to wear these again, I want to know why we are all here in the training room?" Asui asked curiously.
Captain America stood in front of the ten students and began explaining. "The reason why I have the ten of you here is to start training. It's going to be a different type of training than what you are used to. Some of you already know what it is but I'll say it again. We are going to train in hand to hand combat without using your quirks."
"Really? Awesome!" Kirishima said excitedly. "I've been wondering what manly style some of you use for fighting."
"Hearing that we're going to do this makes me wish Ojiro was here." Tokoyami said.
"I agree! He would've loved to participate in this!" Iida said while motioning a chop. "With his tail quirk and non-quirk hand to hand training, he'd be an amazing martial arts hero!"
"If we're going to do this, then who's our instructor?" Jiro asked while twirling her jacks as she looked at the Avengers. "Is it you guys?"
Black Widow nodded and explained. "Yes. Captain America, Myself, Batman, Black Panther, Wolverine, Hawkeye, and others. We were supposed to have a couple of our allies help us train you but they couldn't make it. They're busy with other things."
"It's not going to be easy learning the basics of martial arts without quirks. But when you get the basics down and add your quirks to it, you'll be fine." Hawkeye said as he walked back and forth. "We decided to give you kids a list of every martial art on the planet. Some of you may have heard those fighting styles before. So go on and pick something that you think sounds cool."
After Hawkeye's sentence, a holographic screen of every martial art appeared in front of the ten class 1-A students. Each of them began picking a fighting style that piqued interest. Once the students picked the fighting style, their names were shown on a display along with the martial art they've chosen.
Captain America saw what the ten class 1-A students picked for the training and said. "Let's get to work."
Midoriya's Training. Martial Art: Kickboxing
Midoriya with his white boxing gloves began to throw punches at the punching bag. After connecting the punches, Midoriya took a step back and delivered a roundhouse kick to the punching bag. He then gave a punching bag a few more kicks. Midoriya threw a few more punches but suddenly tripped, attempting another roundhouse kick.
"Careful…" Batman said as he looked at Midoriya on the floor. "You had the right stance but a little quick on your footing."
"Yeah. You're right." Midoriya said as he began to stand up. "I heard about Kickboxing before but I guess it's about the fundamentals I need to learn about."
"Kickboxing can help you improve your legs and refine the Shoot Style technique you do." Black Panther explained. "It can also improve the body with your Quirk."
Midoriya nodded as he continued to throw two more punches and one more roundhouse kick. He continued to attack the punching bag with a couple of hard punches. Midoriya took a step back and delivered a hard roundhouse kick. He then rushed forward, delivering a kick, two punches, and another kick in that order. Midoriya later did two punches and hit one last roundhouse kick. He decided to do one last thing so Midoriya did a spinning heel kick which swung the bag.
"Seems like he's doing good." Iron Man commented. "Kickboxing fits him especially with One for All."
"Yeah…Speaking of One for All, I just thought of something that might help him." Spider-Man said as he began to walk. "Hey Izuku!"
Midoriya stopped attacking the punching bag and saw Spider-Man walking towards him. "Um…Yes, Peter?"
"I have an idea. How about we spar?" Spider-Man suggested. "It'll help you get used to your kickboxing skills and train your Danger Sense reflexes."
Midoriya nodded as he and Spider-Man are opposite from each other. The webslinger signaled to go as the both of them charged at one another.
Midoriya throws the first punch as Spider-Man dodges it. He continued to strike the Web-Head with multiple combinations of punches and kicks. Midoriya saw that Spider-Man evaded all of the strikes and decided to go for a low sweep kick. But before the attack happened, Midoriya felt his Danger Sense triggered as he dodged a punch. He later felt his senses again as Spider-Man attempted a roundhouse kick. Midoriya ducked and began to jump out, putting some distance from Spider-Man.
Midoriya then began thinking of what Spider-Man's about to do next. His Danger Sense activated again as he dodged a couple of punches and backed away from a leg sweep. Midoriya suddenly Spider-Man charging in for an attack which also gave an opening. He sidesteps Spider-Man's punch and attempts a punch in the back. Midoriya saw Spider-Man dodged it but quickly spun around and gave him a spinning hook kick to the back, knocking the webslinger down.
"Yes, I did it! Sorry if I hit you too hard." Midoriya said as he helped Spider-Man up.
"You're fine. I gotta say you've done well, Izuku!" Spider-Man said with approval. "You're starting to get used to your Danger Sense and manage to hit me. Well done, young grasshopper."
Bakugo's Training. Martial Art: Muay Thai
Bakugo throws a few jabs and crosses at Wolverine who has pads on. He later throws a low roundhouse kick, hitting Wolverine's shin guard. Bakugo continued to throw more punches and kicks in quick succession. He finished off a flurry of strikes and a hard roundhouse kick which made Wolverine stumbled back.
"Bub, after feeling that, Muay Thai fits your style." Wolverine said. "You put more power into your strikes, punches and kicks. Now add in your elbows and knees."
Even though Bakugo didn't respond to Wolverine, he understood the assignment. Bakugo then proceeded to continue striking the pads with various punches and kicks. He later added in a few elbow and knee strikes as instructed. Bakugo continues to strike in different combinations of strikes.
Captain America was looking at Bakugo's Muay Thai training. He later noticed the Hulk and Hawkeye standing in the back. "Hulk, Hawkeye, I didn't expect you to be here."
"Only here in case anyone started a fight." Hulk said as he looked at Bakugo's Muay Thai training. "Knowing people in this room. Especially, stupid blast man's intent."
Bakugo stopped as he overheard the Hulk. "My intent! Tch, I could beat your ass with the stuff I learned!"
"If you say that then let's put it to the test." Hawkeye said as he walked to Bakugo. "You and Me. Sparring match. A win-win situation where you practice Muay Thai on someone while I punch you in the face."
"Barton…" Wolverine said in annoyance.
"Fine, then!" Bakugo exclaimed. "I've been dying for a rematch against you, Cupid!"
"Hey, to make you feel better. I'll give you the first shot." Hawkeye said as he put his hands behind his back.
Immediately, Bakugo gave Hawkeye a punch in the face. Hawkeye stepped back for a second as the hit got him.
"Okay that was a good punch." Hawkeye said as he saw Bakugo about to deliver a roundhouse kick.
Hawkeye barely dodges the kick and begins to go on defense. He saw punches and kicks coming his way which were dodged. Hawkeye ducked the roundhouse kick and attempted a punch. The punch was blocked and Hawkeye saw Bakugo going for a knee strike. The knee strike connected as Hawkeye stumbled back.
Bakugo immediately charges in with a punch on Hawkeye. But the punch was dodged as Hawkeye sidestep and punched Bakugo's face, taking him down and ending the match.
"Okay, I admit. You're getting good, kid." Hawkeye said, wiping his lips. "Your Muay Thai isn't that bad. Got me with a few hits. And I see you took my advice too."
"You still got lucky, Barton! After learning Muay Thai, I ain't losing to you or any of these non-powered extras!" Bakugo exclaimed as he walked past Wolverine, Captain America, and The Hulk.
"How the hell did those kids deal with him?" Wolverine asked Captain America and The Hulk.
Captain America only shrugged in reply as he had no answer. The Hulk only responded with a grunt.
Todoroki's Training. Martial Art: Bajiquan/Hakkyokuken
Todoroki was in the middle of the training room, breathing heavily. He rushed forward with an elbow strike. Todoroki moved forward as he threw a punch then did another elbow strike. He twisted his body forward for a stomp. Todoroki hits a double palm strike and then rushes in with a leaning body strike. He finished it by jumping and hitting two snap kicks in the air. Todoroki took another deep breath as he saw Batman in front of him.
"The idea of Bajiquan is using your entire body as a weapon. What you're doing now is good." Batman explained. "Close distance with your opponent, crush open their defenses, and strike decisively with explosive power. Combining forward momentum and one hit pushing strikes would blow opponents away in one swift motion. Try it again with a dummy."
Todoroki nodded as a robot dummy appeared in front of him. He noticed the robot was active and attempted to attack him. Todoroki stopped the punch and gave the robot a palm strike, launching it a few feet away. He saw the robot recover and charge at him again. Todoroki dashed in and hit the robot with an elbow strike. He took a step back and gave the dummy a Tetsuzanko attack, launching it a few feet in front of Thor.
Thor looked at the robot dummy and later to Todoroki. "Impressive, Todoroki. The ability to fight with your entire body is proved to be quite resourceful."
"I've heard about this martial art before." Todoroki said. "I've seen videos and manga related to this style. I thought I could try it out."
"And from what I'm seeing is you're doing good work." Batman said. "Practice using your sides along with your elbows and knees. Again."
Another robot appeared as it charged at Todoroki. Todoroki blocked the first attack and palmed strike the robot away. He saw the robot going in for another attack. Todoroki ducked the attack and did an upward punch, which stunned the robot. While the robot was stunned, Todoroki did a punch, elbow strike, low kick, knee strike, and a palm strike in that order. He then noticed the robot was still standing so Todoroki took a step back and did a Tetsuzanko, destroying the machine to pieces.
Batman looked at where the robot was then back at Todoroki. "Impressive. Five minute break then we resume training."
Todoroki nodded and went to where Thor was. He caught a water bottle from the thunder god and began drinking it.
"You did well, Todoroki. I believe your skills would be excellent in the coming battle." Thor said. "How are you feeling now?"
Todoroki nodded as he finished his water and removed the sweat with his towel. "Fine. Training with Batman seems to be a challenge."
"Aye…" Thor said as he noticed Todoroki's emotion. "Is something troubling you?"
"I've been thinking about your advice." Todoroki said. "I still don't know what to feel about my old man…But I'll figure it out."
Uraraka's Training. Martial Art: Aikido
"You mentioned before about training in Martial Arts from the pro hero Gunhead." Black Widow said. "From what I've seen, you used several forms of grappling, takedowns, and throws using force."
Uraraka nodded as she rubbed her head. "Yes. It has helped me during my final exams and work study. I was hoping to learn more with Aikido."
"Aikido does have similarities to what you're used to with Gunhead Martial Arts." Batman explained. "But Aikido is about unifying life energy. Using it to defend themselves while also protecting their attackers from injury. The goal is to overcome oneself instead of cultivating violence or aggressiveness."
"So…It focuses on defense more than offense." Uraraka said as she processed the information. "While also not hurting the attackers."
Black Widow spoke up and said. "Yes but the philosophy of not hurting the attackers only works if you deem it necessary."
"Since Gunhead Martial Arts helped you with grappling and takedowns, you need to learn how to blend your attackers movements to control their actions and find the time for a counter-technique. Black Widow will help you." Batman said as his teammate was ready.
Uraraka nodded as she saw Black Widow coming at her. She sees punches coming at her and moves to the side. Uraraka then saw a kick coming towards her in which the former jumped away. Uraraka landed and noticed Black Widow is still charging at her with attacks. She then began using her hands to deflect the punches.
"You must maintain arm's length distance from her attacks." Batman said as the training continued. "Relax your body. Study her movements. Find the appropriate time to counter."
Uraraka overheard what Batman said while dodging the attacks from Black Widow. She managed to get a good distance away and began to think of what to do. Uraraka began to see what Black Widow is about to do next. She saw Black Widow coming at her with a roundhouse kick. Uraraka blocked it with her arms but Black Widow did a spinning heel kick which was ducked. Suddenly, Uraraka got in front of Black Widow and grabbed her arm, delivering a grapple takedown.
"I…I did it!" Uraraka said happily.
"Good job, Ochako." Black Widow said. "We'll continue on that for a while."
"Agreed. Once you get used to it, we'll work on disarming techniques." Batman said, appearing in front of Uraraka.
Uraraka nodded with satisfaction and confidence about her choice of Martial Arts. She then noticed Batman raising his brow and looked up. Uraraka was about to ask until…
"Um… Ochako? Please let me down." Black Widow said, gaining her attention.
Uraraka looked to where Black Widow was and she's not there. The former looked up and saw the spy floating above her, looking like she's resting in a hammock. Uraraka's face turns red in embarrassment and deactivated her quirk to let Black Widow down.
Iida's Training. Martial Art: Taekwondo
Iida began releasing a roundhouse kick high up in the air, extending his leg out. He then does another roundhouse kick mid level. Iida retracted his leg back and used his other leg to deliver another roundhouse kick. He later repeated the same set of kicks before doing a heel kick. Iida then moved his legs to do a crescent kick. After the crescent kick, he raised his leg up to do an axe kick and finished it with a high side kick. Iida took a break for a second as he spotted Iron Man standing there.
"You know, I figured you would choose Taekwondo." Iron Man said. "How you use your legs for attacks is fitting for the Martial Arts you've chosen."
"Yes. I remember hearing about this martial art before but never had the chance to check it out." Iida said as he took a drink. "Since it involves using legs, I think Taekwondo would help improve my offense."
"And you're starting to do well for the basics." Black Panther said. "Now be ready for the second part."
Iida nodded as a set of wooden boards appeared in front of him. The wooden boards were placed in different areas from high to low. Iida took a deep breath as he did a high kick, breaking the first board. He then did a spinning heel kick to break the second board and an axe kick for the third. Iida delivers a front kick to the fourth pallet and hits the fifth pallet with a tornado roundhouse kick. He then saw the last board in front of him. Iida spun around and gave the board a hook kick, breaking it.
"Damn, I think he got the kicks good." Spider-Man commented. "Thank goodness his legs are strong enough to break it."
"Indeed. But now the next Taekwondo training." Black Panther said as he appeared in front of Iida. "We spar in what you have learned."
Iida nodded as he was ready while the Wakandan King got in position. Black Panther signaled as both of them began to circle around, waiting for a strike. Iida attempted a kick but Black Panther blocked with his leg. Iida ducked a roundhouse kick and attempted a spinning heel kick. The kick was evaded as Black Panther attempted to punch Iida. Iida raised his arm up to block the punch and attempted a tornado roundhouse kick. Black Panther dodged the kick and did a roundhouse kick to Iida's stomach, knocking him down.
"Your skills are impressive for someone who's starting out in Taekwondo." Black Panther said as he helped Iida up.
Iida stood up and took a bow in front of Black Panther. "Thank you, King T'Challa! It's an honor to learn Taekwondo from you!"
Black Panther bowed back in response as he and Iida continued their training. While the taekwondo training was happening, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Captain America were looking on with satisfaction from the results.
"After watching that, I think Iida will be fine." Spider-Man said. "Sweet kicks too."
Kirishima's Training. Martial Art: Boxing
Kirishima began connecting punches at the punching bag with the red boxing gloves he's wearing. He throws a few jabs and a couple of crosses, connecting it to the bag. Kirishima took a step back and connected a hard cross, which swung the bag. He stopped the bag momentarily and later took a step back. Kirishima then continues to throw more jabs and crosses as he sees Captain America watching him.
"You have a good posture, Kirishima." Captain America said, analyzing Kirishima's boxing stance. "Maintain the punches and don't exhaust yourself."
Kirishima nodded as he continued to punch the punching bag. He manages to give the punching a good set of punches. Kirishima hits the last two jabs and one cross, which shook the bag a bit. He then gave the punching bag two more jabs and a hard cross, causing it to swing away.
"Careful, overdoing it will break the bag." Captain America said. "Trust me on that."
Kirishima stopped the bag and looked at Captain America. "Yeah but seeing how you, Batman, Black Widow, Black Panther, and Spider-Man punching bad guys. I feel like I need to get stronger with boxing."
Captain America smirked at Kirishima's determination. "Okay. Go for the punches again and move with your feet. Once you get the footing, we'll work on dodging."
Kirishima nodded as he continued to deliver repetitive jabs and crosses. He then proceeded to move around the bag while punching it. Kirishima stopped and delivered a cross that swung the bag. He delivered another jab and cross as the pattern of strikes continued on. Kirshima finished off with a hard cross which swung the bag. He stopped the swinging bag and noticed Captain America coming towards him.
"Good work. Let's start dodging." Captain America said as he had pads in his hands. "I'm sure you've seen this drill before."
Kirishima nodded as he began punching the pads. After two strikes to the pads, Kirishima began to duck as Captain America took two swings and missed it. Kirishima then rose up and began striking the pads again. The pattern repeats multiple times as Kirishima strikes and dodges Captain America's swings.
"Good work. I'm going to add in a few more attacks and do it at random." Captain America said as Kirishima nodded in response.
Kirishima begins to punch quicker while ducking at Captain America's quick swings. Captain America later added in an uppercut swing which Kirishima was able to avoid. While the boxing training is happening, Batman and Wolverine are on the side looking on to Kirishima's progress.
"The kid's starting to get the hang of it." Wolverine said as he looked at Kirishima's boxing training. "The drive to continue boxing is like any great boxer's mentality."
"Reminds me of someone I know." Batman said while also analyzing Kirishima's boxing. "One tough cat when it comes to boxing."
Asui's Training. Martial Art: Capoeira
Asui began balancing herself from the floor using her hands. Since her frog quirk made it a little bit easier. She began swinging her leg around while making sure it didn't hit her other leg and arms. After swinging her leg around, Asui lifted her lower body up and landed back on her feet. She later went down for a low kick and then sprung up high with a high kick. Asui stopped and took a break and saw Black Panther and Spider-Man there.
"Interesting choice for picking Capoeira." Spider-Man said. "Considering how you mainly use your legs for offense, it makes sense. Also, do you dance? Because, from what I heard, Capoeira has elements of dancing."
"Um…Yes, I did." Asui responded. "I was a part of the dance group for our concert in the school festival. I wasn't that good at dancing until Ashido, my classmate, helped me with the lessons."
"And it seems your footwork from the dancing lessons has paid off well." Black Panther said. "You have done well with the basics of this martial art. Now the next drill will require you to hit all of the marks with only your legs."
Asui nodded as she began to do a Capoeira stance. She saw a set of marks in different places where her kick attacks could reach. Asui did a low kick, breaking the first one. She lifted her leg up for a high kick, breaking the second one. Asui sprung back on her feet and saw two marks. She moved back and did a spinning hook kick, breaking the third mark. Asui then did another spinning hook kick with her other leg, breaking the fourth mark.
After destroying the fourth mark, Asui returned back into a Capoeira stance. She saw the last two marks opposite from each other. Asui went low and sprung up doing a cartwheel kick, breaking the fifth mark. She went back on her feet and saw the last mark. Asui spun her body then placed one hand on the ground releasing a high spinning hook kick which also destroyed the last mark.
"Damn, Conor McGregor would be proud of that kick!" Spider-Man said in surprise.
"Impressive, Tsuyu." Black Panther said. "I recommend you practice balancing yourself to improve your legs for better use. Other than that, well done."
"Thank you for teaching me Capoeira, King T'Challa!" Asui said in gratitude.
"Good thing T'Challa has studied Capoeira. Although…" Black Widow said as she turned to Spider-Man. "Since you also use your legs in your offense sometimes, have you done Capoeira?"
"Well…Not really. I never had any proper martial arts training." Spider-Man answered. "I just watched videos of Capoeira and others to make my own fighting style."
Asui, Black Panther, and Black Widow were surprised at Spider-Man's answer.
"How did you survive this long, Peter?" Black Widow asked.
Spider-Man shrugged. "Spider-Sense and lots of luck. When it comes to battles."
Yaoyorozu's Training. Martial Art: Eskrima/Anis/Kani
Yaoyorozu began swinging the two wooden sticks, doing the heaven six drill. She managed to maintain her rhythm and began to go quicker. Yaoyorozu kept her pace with the swings of her eskrima sticks with one almost hitting her head. Once she finished the heaven six drill, Yaoyorozu later took a break and noticed Black Widow and Black Panther next to her.
"I'm surprised you didn't pick Bojutsu, considering you're comfortable with the bo staff." Black Widow said. "It's on the list but you chose to do Eskrima."
"I thought about it but I want to do something else." Yaoyorozu explained while holding two wooden sticks. "I've heard of Eskrima before and never really had the chance to train in it."
"From what I've observed, your Bojutsu skills are impressive." Black Panther said. "However, choosing to add another weapon based on Martial Art is no easy task."
"But at least you're doing well. Since you finished the heaven six drill, we should start working on stick combat. One stick first." Black Widow said. "I'll help you with this since I'm training in Eskrima as well."
Yaoyorozu nodded as she and Black Widow were facing each other with one stick. Batman stood near them as he saw both are ready.
"Start with one stick on the right." Batman said as both Yaoyorozu and Black Widow held one stick in their right hand. "Go."
Black Widow charges at Yaoyorozu with the wooden stick attack. Yaoyorozu blocked it and swung her stick low at Widow. The latter managed to block it as she went for another attack. Yaoyorozu blocked it again as the pattern of attacking and blocking continued which is similar to sword fighting. Yaoyorozu swung for an attack but Black Widow blocked it and quickly disarmed the stick.
"Not bad. Let's do it again with the other hand. Try your best to disarm me." Black Widow said as she gave Yaoyorozu her stick.
Once Yaoyorozu got up, she moved the wooden stick on the other hand. She later looked at Black Widow doing the same thing. Yaoyorozu nodded as Black Widow signaled to go again. Both charge at each other attacks and blocks. Yaoyorozu blocked an attack and spotted an opening to grab the wooden stick. Her hand suddenly stopped as Black Widow pushed it down. Yaoyorozu quickly blocked an attack then went under Black Widow's arm and used her other hand to disarm her stick.
"I did it!" Yaoyorozu said as she held two eskrima sticks.
"Impressive but you still have a lot to learn." Black Widow said. "Let's go again."
Black Panther looked on at the Eskrima training. "It seems Yaoyorozu is starting to learn well with Eskrima. She might have the fundamentals down but not skill based comparable to Daredevil or Moon Knight."
Batman also analyzed the training and said. "Maybe. But we'll see if she can be like those two or another Eskrima user I know."
Jiro's Training. Martial Art: Kyusho Jitsu (Pressure Point Combat)
Batman walked back and forth in front of Jiro and explained, "Kyusho Jitsu is primarily used for self defense. However, you can use it for offense like Wolverine and I. The idea of pressure point combat is to know where it is in the human body. Attack the point and it will neutralize your enemies movements. Wolverine will help you and don't worry he can take it."
Jiro nodded as she saw Wolverine attempting to grab her. She struck the two pressure point areas Batman instructed. Jiro saw Wolverine let go and felt pain in his hand and arm. She then saw another hand about to grab her. Jiro stopped the hand and began striking the wrist, bicep, and shoulder. The shoulder strike forced Wolverine to take a step back as his arms lost feeling for a second.
"That was good. Got me there with arms." Wolverine said as he got the arm feeling back. "Let's go with the body next. Front then back."
Jiro nodded as she saw Wolverine ready. Jiro struck Wolverine's stomach which led the latter to step back a bit. She saw the X-Man readying again for another strike. Jiro hits the middle of the chest and the stomach while Wolverine is still on his feet. She then moved to the back where she hit Wolverine's lower back and upper spine. After hitting the spine, she saw Wolverine freezed up and fall down on the floor.
Wolverine took a minute and began to sit up. "You did good, kid. Those strikes got me down on the floor. Let's go again and try to take me down."
Jiro nodded as her and Wolverine were ready again. Jiro charges and sees Wolverine's attempt to punch her. She blocked the arm and hit the wrist and shoulder, which stopped the movement. Jiro then saw another swing from Wolverine which was dodged. She grabbed Wolverine's arm and hit the shoulder. After striking the shoulder, Jiro moved to the back and delivered one last blow to Wolverine's back. She saw Wolverine go down and a few seconds later the X-Man gave her a thumbs up of approval.
"Okay, I admit. I'm going to like this martial art." Jiro said with confidence. "Adding in my quirk, I can hit multiple pressure points at once."
"Good. When the training's over, I recommend you study about pressure points. Both male and female." Batman said to Jiro. "How are you feeling now?"
"I'm feeling good actually." Jiro said. "I didn't know there are many pressure points in the human body."
Suddenly, Hawkeye appeared and said, "Well you're not the only one who didn't know either. The first time I encountered Batman, he hit the pressure points I didn't even know I had."
"Wait, really?" Jiro said in surprise as she looked at Batman. "You fought the Avengers?"
"I did. The first time I encountered them." Batman said. "Nearly took out the entire team, even the Hulk."
Tokoyami's Training. Martial Art: Tai Chi/Taijiquan
Tokoyami began slowly moving his arms up and down while doing some deep breathing. He then motioned his hands freely while moving his foot back. Tokoyami later switched to his other foot while doing the hand motions. He moved his foot back while slowly moving his hand up and quickly threw punches. Tokoyami moved his arm back and palm striked his left side twice in quick succession. He placed his footing back to normal and then released two palm strikes.
While Tokoyami was doing his training, a certain figure above him copied all of his form of Tai Chi. Dark Shadow moved exactly like how Tokoyami does from moving his hands to the movement of the body.
"Do you think it's wise to have Dark Shadow be involved in your training, Tokoyami?" Falcon asked. "He doesn't have too, considering how capable he is in battle."
"Dark Shadow had insisted on training in this as well." Tokoyami said as Dark Shadow appeared next to him and nodded. "I think it's best if he learns Tai Chi along with me for better chances. Especially when we're separated."
Wolverine chimed in and said. "He does have a point. I've seen him being vulnerable multiple times from attacks while Dark Shadow was distant. Tokoyami usually dodges enemy attacks and relies on Dark Shadow for assistance."
Captain America took a while to think and said. "I'll allow it since he's copying Tokoyami right now. Although, he's not allowed to spar."
Wolverine nodded as he looked at Tokoyami. "Since you know the movements, it's time we spar in what you learned. Tai Chi is normally used for Self Defense and meditation. It can still be used for combat. You have to rely on knowing the change in response from outside forces. As well as yielding and redirecting an attack instead of meeting it with the opposite force."
Tokoyami nodded as Wolverine got ready. He took a deep breath as the mutant began to attack. Tokoyami used his arm to stop the first punch and the second punch. He then used his other hand and palm strikes Wolverine's chest, pushing him back.
Once Wolverine was pushed back, Tokoyami had enough time to slowly breathe again. He begins doing a stance as Wolverine goes for another attack. Tokoyami blocked it with his left and did a chop using his right on the ribs. He then used his right to tie up Wolverine's arm, taking him down and ending the spar.
"That was good, Fumikage!" Dark Shadow said with approval.
"I may not know that much Tai Chi but you did good." Captain America said. "I'm impressed with what I am seeing with the ten of you."
Wolverine smirked and said. "Agreed. You and the others may get the gist of quirkless combat. At least, you're in the right step. Like Hawkeye said, if you get the basics down and your quirks into the mix, then you're fine."
Tokoyami and Dark Shadow nodded as JARVIS suddenly spoke up. "Sir, Police Captain George Stacy and Detective Jean DeWolff are at the front door."
Avengers Mansion: Front Door
"A very strange tale for this mortal man." Thor said as he processed the story told to him.
"So…From what you said, Captain Stacy?" Spider-Man asked, recalling what he was informed. "He suddenly appeared in the middle of Central Park. Claiming that they're coming after him from outer space. I'm assuming he's talking about aliens."
"Pretty much." Captain Stacy confirmed. "He's been saying the whole outer space and aliens thing throughout the drive from the precinct to here. He also mentioned something about a woman named Carina."
"Does he have a name?" Batman asked.
"He only said his name is Michael." Detective DeWolff said. "We're trying to match whatever we could find in the national database. He also has strange markings on his back."
DeWolff then showed Michael's back displaying the marks in front of Batman, Spider-Man, and Thor. Spider-Man and Thor were a little bit weird out by looking at the marks. Batman, however, observes Michael's marks and seems to wonder what it is.
"Disturbing for mortals to go to such length to…harm another." Thor said as he looked at Michael's back marks.
"Creepy. That explains the disturbance and the big crater at Central Park." Spider-Man said as he looked at Batman. "Bats, what are we going to do with Michael?"
"I'll look over and see what I can find about the marks on his back. And find more information about him and the woman he's talking about." Batman said as he grabbed Michael.
Avengers Mansion: Kitchen
While Batman is in the sublevels with Michael, the rest of the Avengers and ten Class 1-A students begin to eat dinner. They all proceeded to eat their food nicely while also having pleasant conversations from details of their Avenger Membership and quirkless training. Suddenly, a conversation was reminded about what the Class 1-A students faced in their universe.
"So you mentioned this before but the villain group you guys faced is called the League of Villains?" Captain America asked as he drank his water.
"Yes. A villain group led by a villain called All for One." Yaoyorozu explained. "Since he's been taken to the prison, in our universe, called Tartarus, the leadership is now in the hands of Tomura Shigaraki."
"Has someone played too much League of Legends?" Hawkeye wondered. "That's one of the silliest villain group names I've ever heard. And there's a group called the Circus of Crime."
"Don't forget the Frightful Four, the Serpent Society, and the Ten Rings." Spider-Man commented. "Silly names indeed."
"Villain group name aside, the members you describe as well as their quirks are formidable. The pro heroes seem to have trouble battling them." Black Panther commented. "We might proceed with caution if any of us face them."
"Not only All for One and Shigaraki, but Dabi, Himiko Toga, Spinner, Mr. Compress, and Twice." Black Widow said. "Their quirks are challenging but T'Challa's right. We should proceed with caution. They might have new members while you were away."
"Tch. I would take them all down if there's a chance." Bakugo said. "They're all nothing but a bunch of crybabies with only a mission to cause trouble."
"I'm wondering how would any of you match against the League of Villains. *Ribbit*" Asui wondered.
Kirishima suddenly stood up with excitement. "I would love to see that manly match up! The League of Villains vs. The Avengers! Who would win!"
"We'll see what happens if or when we face them." Wolverine said as he drank another bottle of whiskey. "With the members here, we might give them a run for their money."
While the conversation in the dinner table continues, Iron Man was analyzing the data Batman just gave him. During his analysis of the data, Iron Man didn't notice Hawkeye, Tokoyami, Todoroki, and Hulk were next to him, eating their dinner.
"Looking at our guest, Stark?" Hawkeye asked. "I'm still not buying on this guy being abducted and experimented on by aliens."
"Not to mention the claim of aliens coming after him." Tokoyami said. "He looks like he's been locked away in darkness for too long."
"Did you find anything from Batman's data?" Todoroki asked.
Iron Man then pulled a picture of Michael on screen. "From what Batman analyzed, he seems okay physically but has night terrors. The scars on his back are rough. Though there's no internal damage, he's malnourished and dehydrated. But here's where it gets strange. He's emitting some kind of energy, something I've never seen before."
"Some of us should head to Central Park where the crater was." Ant-Man said as he stood up from his chair. "Possible chance the energy Michael could be emitting can still be at the crater."
"Batman already contacted Spider-Woman and Ms. Marvel to check it out, since they're SWORD liaisons." Iron Man explained. "I'm still trying to figure out the energy our guest is putting out. I should probably get Beast to analyze this."
"It's a form of cosmic radiation." The Hulk said out loud before he took a bite of his chicken leg.
Iron Man and everyone else in the kitchen were surprised by the Hulk's claim. The Armored Avenger then looked at a projection scan of Michael and noticed, exactly what the big green said, cosmic radiation. "Oh…"
Wasp stood up from her seat. "If Michael really was abducted by aliens and they're chasing him, we have to help him. Batman also said that Michael mentioned a woman named Carina. He could be his girlfriend or wife? She could be waiting for him. Who knows how long he's been gone?"
"But something about his claim doesn't add up." Wolverine said, gaining everyone's attention. "I've seen advanced alien races like the Shi'ar have highly technological prisons where it's a rare chance someone escaped. The story explained here has problems."
"Obviously, Earth is of interest to several alien races. However, I will agree with Logan." Black Panther said. "How could a normal man escape from an advanced alien race, much less return to earth?"
Midoriya was about to say something until Danger Sense activated and forced him to look at the window of the kitchen. He got up from his seat and went to the window, wondering where the danger was. Midoriya later saw Spider-Man next to him looking out as well. He was about to ask a question until a bright light flashed in the window.
The light blinded everyone in the kitchen for a bit and it suddenly turned off. Spider-Man and Midoriya felt their senses activate again in which both looked at the doorway entrance. Everyone else wondered what was going on until nine green orbs lit up by the doorway of the kitchen. The Avengers and the ten Class 1-A students got ready for a battle. The green orbs then disappeared as nine individuals with one being a big tree and the other as a raccoon appeared by the door.
The one man stepped forwards and pointed his gun at them. "Alright! Listen up, you pajamas wearing flarkers! I'm only going to say this once! Where is Michael Korvac?!"
AN: The chapter is finished and it's a long one! Not bad for my return chapter. It took me a while to figure out who has what fighting style. As well as research these styles. Some are easy while some are a pain to look up but hey it's there. I'll also say that there are more training chapters down the line. Shout out to the guest reviewer Nathan Ramos for some suggestions on Martial Arts.
Shang Chi and Iron Fist will appear in this story down the line. I thought about having them appear here but I'll save them for later. Although War Machine, Mockingbird, Spider-Woman, and Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) did appear as cameos. They'll show up in later chapters as well.
Also, the ten class 1-A students have achieved temporary Avengers memberships. They helped the Avengers save the planet from Kang so those ten got the team's approval. It's only temporary so they will just enjoy it while it lasts.
Judging by the end of the chapter, you probably have a good idea who's coming in next. I'll only leave it at that.
Rebirth Exile signing off! Peace and Love to all of you!
