Landslide Zone

In the landslide area, which consisted of several buildings and other things buried in dirt in a ravine, one villain after another was quickly rolled up and restrained by iron chains. Reyes, the boy responsible for them, barely moved a muscle and he'd already disabled half a dozen of the alleged villains, and looked at them with contempt and irritation.

"For God's sake, you're adults!" He said, watching the alleged villains while feeling the evil in their hearts with his Quirk. "If you're going to invade my school then at least put up a real fight!"

Collapse Zone

"RAAAAAAAH!!!" Flash roared, knocking out another villain with his black claws on his raised arm. Inside one of the collapsed buildings in the collapse zone, Flash and Amadeus stood with their backs to each other. They were being surrounded by villains who blocked all the exits. Too bad they didn't know that the two kids weren't stuck with them, they were stuck with Flash. But they would certainly find that out soon.

Mountain Zone

In the area of artificial mountains, likely made through some Quirk, three students had their backs to each other, as they were also surrounded by villains. They formed a triangle, each drawing a weapon or activating a Quirk. Laura extended her bone claws and prepared to fight, Nico took her staff from her chest while trying to analyze the situation for the ideal spell, and Azari removed his belt, turning it into a staff and activating his Quirk, covering his body of electricity.

Fire Zone

In one of the two areas with its own internal climate, the Deputy Representative of the room, Ava, put herself in a fighting position, activating the claws of her uniform while facing three villains in the middle of a literal burning city, with several buildings on fire and random flames and fires in the streets.

Storm Zone

In the second area with its own climate, Tyrone and Groot stood with their backs to each other as they were surrounded by four villains. With no time to think about how the whole place worked, the wind and rain were felt by all inside that place, which was dark and quite cold.

Entrance

Finally, back at the entrance, not everyone had been teleported to other locations, leaving Danger, Pietro, Wanda, Kamala, Tandy, Luke and Danny. They were still dealing the reddish man who had made their friends disappear, all ready for the inevitable confrontation.

And back in the center of the place, with the conflict already underway, after Daredevil successfully knocked out another villain, pulling him close and giving him a straight kick in the face.

Goblin sighed tiredly and found himself obliged to intervene in the situation. "You want someone killed right..." He activates a bit of tech that turns into a hover glider and prepares to engage.


In the teachers' room, a certain hero was going through a very uncomfortable and common situation for most people. "I'm sorry, but the person you tried to call is unavailable, please leave a message after the-"

Tony hung up the phone in frustration, I can't reach either Red or the Tin Woman. Well, they're teaching, something that I should be doing too.

While he didn't admit it out loud, Tony knew that spending all his energy in the morning small heroic acts everywhere had been amateur action. He checks his watch to try to see how much energy the reactor would hold: a little more than 5%.

"That should give me a ten minutes or so. I think it's time enough to arrive with a triumphal entry," he said, putting himself in his armor. Nanotechnology quickly covered his entire body, and he stood up.

"It's time to join the students and-" Tony tries to formulate something to say inside the armor, but he instantly feels short of breath and a tightness in his chest. He quickly opens the helmet visor and starts to cough a little of blood. Right when the door was opened

"Okay Stark, don't even think about going out." A recognized voice said when the door opens, and Tony can only turn his head when he finds himself in such a humiliating moment; Stan Lee, wearing his trademark glasses and jacket. "That's right, True Believers! Everyone's favorite high school Principal, but more importantly, your boss!"

"Stan, it's been a while," Tony returns to his seat and pretends to be interested in talking to the man. "Your hair's looking pretty slick today."

"I'm trying out a new pomade, but I don't see how it might interest you Stark. So you can quit the small talk," he said, taking a cell phone out of the pocket of his jacket. The old man opened it to an news site, "Look here, see anything familiar?"

"I don't know, did I win another Nobel and didn't know?" The hero asked, as if he didn't understand what was happening.

"No, it's actually a lot of news about how Iron Man resolved three incidents in just one hour," the principal says seeing the number one hero cut his line of sight and sighing. "You can even say that the real fault lies with the criminals that still torment this city even with you here. But let's admit that you have to learn to control yourself every time you hear a cry for help, and mainly limit Friday's functions."

Tony says nothing, even though he is receiving a moral lesson from an old man.

"And on top of that, you have your new duty as a teacher," he went on. "Even if you don't want to receive a salary, you insisted on being here to keep an eye on the boy who 'accidentally' wound up being the successor to your power. All the while, maintaining your status as the 'Symbol of Hope'," Stan said, passing by the hero and sitting on the couch opposite.

"The only way you can keep yourself out of the spotlight is by teaching, so I gave you this job- ho-boy, smoke's coming out of your armor, that doesn't sound like good news..." The old man watched the armor vibrate and release smoke, and Tony quickly deactivates it, returning to his standard baggy clothes.

"Hunf," Tony grunts when he sees no escape from the school principal.

"Guess you'll have to stay here to rest some more, what a pity," he said, not sounding sorry for Tony. "But taking advantage of you being here, why don't we go through some of my personal teaching philosophies over a drink?"

The man clicks some buttons on the table that make two glasses appear and fill with green liquid, "No alcohol, of course."

Now I know this will take a long time... thinks the hero, accepting the drink and sitting in the armchair facing the director. But I still have this flea behind my ear from being unable to contact either Red or Danger.

"Okay, how about we start with the combat pedagogy seen through the lens of the ethical use of Quirks?" Asked Stan, ready to a the sermon.

"This'll take a while," Tony muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" The old man's mustache twitched slightly.

"Nothing!" The hero responds quickly, taking a sip of his drink, and wishing for a little bit of ethyl in order to survive the next few hours.


"Tandy, Danny, did you find anything?" Danger asks her students, knowing their individual skills better.

"Tyrone's still in here, that I'm sure of," said the blonde, using her light to find her partner's darkness. "And I think Groot's with him too."

"I could sense others in different places," added Danny, sitting in a meditative stance when using his Chi to enhance his senses. "They're all still inside, and very much alive." The statement puts his teacher and classmates more at ease.

"What do we do then? This guy teleports fast enough to escape attacks," said Kamala, a little disappointed that she's not ideal for that confrontation.

Danger stops for a moment, analyzing the possibilities of the available Quirks. "Mr. Maximoff!"

"Ah, yes?" Answered Pietro.

"I have a job for you: run to the school and warn the teachers about what's going on here!" She said, not taking her eyes off the villain. "The alarms aren't ringing and our phones and radios are useless at the moment, probably because of one of these villains. Even with Daredevil fighting several, it's likely that this one hid as soon as he arrived. It'll be faster for you to run than for us to find out who is scrambling the signal!"

"I can't! I won't abandon any of you," he said, his voice shaking a little. "Especially not my sister. I refuse to let anything bad happen to her!"

"Outside there'll be several alarms, so they're keeping us trapped inside," said Luke, taking a step forward and raising his fists.

"If you can get out they won't follow you," adds Danny, prostrating himself next to Luke, his own fists starting to glow. "You're too fast for them, that makes you out only shot at getting help right now."

"Use your Quirk to save others, be a real hero," Danger transposed confidence to her student. But in any case, Pietro felt insecure, he had promised not to run from his problems, from his friends, and especially not his family; not after everything that had happened. But looking back, he is comforted by a pair of red eyes and a new pair of light blue eyes.

"Go," Wanda said simply, she affirms with her head an inner thought of her brother, and Tandy beside her doing the same thing.

"Okay, leave it to me!" He replied, getting into a sprinter's position, legs slightly bent and his hands touching the ground, ready to go.

"Dummkoph! Even if this is your only option, are you foolish enough to strategize in front of your enemy!?" The red man said ominously. With a movement of his arm, he launched another burst of red and black mist in the direction of the group, but someone already expected this movement.

"It won't matter whether you know it or not after I do that!" Danger said. She had reconnected with the installation and activated one of your defensive training devices. This opened several floodgates underneath and around the villain, loudspeakers that emit sounds in high frequency and high intensity, directed in order to create a sonic hologram capable of holding objects in the air. "Sonic Tractor Ray!"


"Okay, if we're really going to face them, do you have a plan?" Kei asked Peter.

"Not yet, but I'm working on something..." Peter said, crouching and putting his hand on his chin to think. "These guys must have some advantage where they are, which means they should already know what was in the EDR before they were transported here. But I think they have a weakness: they don't know what our Quirks are!"

"How do you know that?" Asked Gwen. "Are you a psychic or something? Go, quick! What am I thinking?" she puts her fingers on her temples and starts staring at Peter.

"What? No! It's just that they sent us here, Gwen," he said, and the blonde now starts to look at Peter in a more serious way, now paying attention to what the boy was saying. "Our Quirks are better in closed spaces, where we can move better on our way."

"That's true!" Gwen realized, "If they knew that, they probably would have sent us to open places!"

"Exactly!" He nodded, "Their goal was to separate us into smaller groups and capture us more easily. But we can use this to our advantage."

Peter stood up and looked out the window, "None of them are trying to climb the building, because they're still a bit insecure. As far as they know, the three of us could be super powerful. But that way, they won't underestimate us, they're being playing it smart, at least for now..."

"So we'll have to form a strategy based on our strengths," Kei concludes, boarding the train of reasoning. "It'd be better if we knew exactly what our Quirks could do."

"Oh! Oh! Let me go first!?!?!? Please!!!!???" Gwen raised her hand desperately, as trying to answer a question in class that only she knew the answer to.

"Um, ok..." Peter says not wanting to upset the girl, and thinking it would be better, since he hadn't seen the other fights in Iron Man's combat class.

"Yay!" She raised her arms in victory, but soon turned to the two boys. "Well, my Quirk allows me to create a gap in the air to another dimension. With that, I can overcome obstacles here and travel greater distances, because the distance there is equivalent to double here. But I have to know the exact distance to where I'm going and I can only create portals that point directly to the first one that was created."

"Wow! I knew you were good Gwen, but this is insane," Peter compliments, trying not to be a fanboy at the moment.

He looked at his hand, "I have the proportional strength and agility of a spider. I can scale surfaces, I have a proximity sensor and I shoot webs from my wrists. But I can only do that a little because it hurts a lot." Peter indicated the gauze around his wrist.

"I have the ability to summon these six monsters that I draw," Kei said getting closer to the other two and showing his notebook. This time, it was open on pages covered with sketches of different creatures. There were some notes on the side, likely about the skills of each.

"They have some specifications though," he continued. "I can only invoke fresh drawings, so I always practice them. They last about fifteen minutes and can be invoked in two sizes; small and medium. The small ones are no more than 10 feet long and can weigh about 20 kilos, while the medium one's max out at 25 feet and can reach 200 kilos."

"Wow, you have almost a private army!" Gwen comments, her eyes shining with awe.

"Yeah, but it's not that simple," Kei continued. "I can keep a medium or two small ones without them disappearing. If they die, they disappear and can't be summoned again until I've gotten some sleep. Plus I get a huge headache when they die..."

Kei remembered his team fight, when he was useless after Fireclaw was defeated. "So, I can summon five small ones a day, but only two medium ones. Well, I think that's it. They also communicate with me and I with them, but depending on what I ask, they won't obey. It all depends on the personality of each one."

"Wait, they come with personalities?" Peter asked, taking his eyes off the drawings and facing his classmate.

"Of course! What kind of artist do you think I am?" Kei retorted, a little insulted and proceeded to tell him more about each one. "Fireclaw is my main, he's always ready for a fight and is pretty competitive. Slizzik is also good at fighting and always wants to be superior. Here's-"

"Who's this one?" Peter asked, pointing at the drawing of what appeared to be a species of muscular lizard with blue lines running through his body. "How well can you convince him?"

"Hi-Vo? Well, he's the least intelligent, can't even speak. He's basically a dog," Kei replied. "Why?"

"I think I have a plan," Peter smiles, checking again if the monster's characteristics were the ones he had read and strategized about. "How long does it take you to draw it?"

"Hmmm..." The boy scratched his head while looking at the drawing. "Give me seven minutes!"

"Okay, that's enough time for me to tell you the details," said Peter, with the actions ready in his head.


"Hehehe, those brats must be crying for mom right now," comments the villain in the yellow and brown outfit, staring at the broken window. "I can't wait to get my hands on them!"

"Yeah, but remember: Hobgoblin said he's got no idea about their powers. At this point, they can do anything," said another, wearing a green striped t-shirt and brown pants. He used his Quirk to create a giant platform of sand that would lift them off the ground. "Still, we have the advantage down here already so I'm not too worried. Right Herman?"

The man in yellow quickly turns to his associate, "I told you, Flint, when I'm wearing the suit, call me the Shocker! I've got a reputation to uphold!!"

"What reputation?" Flint snorts, "Besides, I thought your Quirk was about vibrations? Shouldn't you be called the 'Vibrator'?"

"The vibrations from my hands create shockwaves, hence 'Shocker'," Herman clarified.

Flint just rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I just think the name's misleading is all."

"Oh like you're one to talk, Sandman!" Snapped Herman.

"Hey guys?" The villains look up just to see a figure wearing a red mask and red clothes standing on the side of the building, holding on to a white rope.

"Didn't wanna interrupt whatever this is," Peter began, wiggling his index finger between the duo. "But I took one look at ya and just had to say, Wow, you boys are uh-gly!! Is that part of the costumes, or were you just born looking that way?"

"Shoot the brat!!!" One of the villains screamed, and Shocker starts to shake a fist, charging his Quirk.

"Ummm," Peter paused for a moment, facing those villains. "The heroes went that way," he says pointing to the right, but quickly jumping and narrowly avoiding a concentrated shockwave in his direction.

"After him!" Another villain screams as they go after the boy, who fired more webs and was swinging around the side, making them run around and into the building.

They fell into the trap, Peter thought as he turns around and enters the building again, looking like he has disappeared in the eyes of the villains.

Kei sat waiting for the villains, ready for part two of the plan. "What's up guys?" The little boy asked, and this time the villains don't waste time and fired their Quirks in Kei's direction, as Peter had predicted.

"Go, Hi-Vo!" He tore the page from his notebook with a fresh drawing and threw it on the floor. In a blue flash, the creature took shape.

It was a huge, muscular black lizard, with blue lines running through its body and with spines on its head and front arms, simply opens its mouth after being invoked and starts to absorb the energies launched towards its creator. Fire, shockwaves, energy, even sand, it sucked and fueled the creature as if it were a black hole.

And while the short-distance villains were still close to the long-distance group, a blonde girl appears beside them, coming from a crack in the air, tossing a grenade in the middle of the group with something very special inside. She giggled cheekily and opened another portal as the grenade explodes.

"What the hell is this!?" All the villains found themselves trapped in a white, sticky substance that held them in place, preventing them from moving. Peter jumped down from the ceiling, landing beside the monster and Kei. He fired a web right in the middle of the villains trapped in his webs too; quickly taking it from his open wrist and giving it to the black and blue monster.

"You're up, big guy!" He said, giving him the web.

"Szzl-k-pop-pop!" The creation replied and snatched the web in its mouth and activating the blue electricity within its body. The power ran up the web, and consequently into the villains. They were electrocuted with so much energy in proximity to each other, that they fell to the ground, passing out and restricted by the web.

"That was amazing!" Gwen said, appearing out of nowhere behind the two boys and almost killing them both with fright. "Using your web on one of the grenades, and the big electric guy here and... mmmmph!!!"

She excitedly pulled the two boys by the neck, having to lift Kei off the floor, and kissing them on each cheek, smearing that area with pink lipstick in spite of the mask covering her mouth.

"I think I'm in love..." Kei said with hearts in his eyes, he watched the blonde go towards Hi-Vo and likewise hugging and kissing him.

"Well..." Peter began, a little flushed under his mask. He attempts to wipe his cheek with the sleeve of his uniform. "We'd better go, this thing isn't over yet."

The boy then proceeds to walk back to the central area, and the two classmates follow him. Kei also releases Hi-Vo, knowing that the timeout would probably exceed soon, and he wasn't ideal when it came to being sneaky. The three then snuck around, paying attention to their surroundings to ensure there was no one around and they were not being followed.

"Okay, what's the plan now, Captain?" Gwen whispered, pausing for a moment and saluting Peter. Kei looked at her and copied the movement.

"First, stop the salutes," he said, and they both lower their arms. "Getting help should be our priority. If we follow the corners of the installation, we'll go straight to the exit, so we can avoid the central part completely."

"Good idea, Captain!" Gwen responded in a more animated way, but soon returned to a slightly more serious tone. "And that way, we don't have the chance to meet the villains Mr. Murdock is facing..." She stopped to look towards the central part, in which fighting noises and some explosions could be heard.

"Yeah, but how long will he last?" Peter asked aloud, not sure how long his teacher would last against a large group. "If he doesn't get any help, then he'll exhaust himself. He could end up getting killed by those villains while trying to protect us!"

"Wait, you're not going to say what I think you're suggesting?" Kei asked, a bit apprehensive at his classmate's idea. "We just got away from a group of those guys. Now you wanna go find another!?"

"I'm not saying that we should jump headfirst in the middle of the fight," replied Peter, trying to make his point. "But maybe we can find a way to get some villains out of the fight, make things easier for Mr. Murdock..."

- We'd just had our first real fight and we had won, but that had only given us false hopes. It made us think that our powers would be no match against the enemy, we would soon realize how wrong we were. -

Barber's Chair

• Some unique power sets for Peter's 2 classmates, particularly with Kei. I had to scale back his power a bit and make some limitations so he'd be more on the level of his peers.

• A couple of classic Spidey villains introduced in the form of Sandman and Shocker!
