The sounds of whoopie cushion farts filled the air as a tall man with clown make up, a scarf around his neck and goggles in his blue hair marched toward Shiki and Tomura.
"Ah, Dr. Indigo." Shiki smiled. "Long time no see, see?"
Dr. Indigo didn't say a word; he simply made gestures like checking his watch, big arm sweeps and growling faces.
"What're you…?! SIGN LANGUAGE! USE IT!" Shiki snapped.
"…This is your top scientist?" Tomura asked incredulously. "Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll take Garaki any otyher day."
"Well at least I've actually amassed and trained an army." The clown doctor smirked.
"YOU CAN TALK!?" Shiki screamed in shock, before getting slapped
"OF COURSE I CAN, YOU TWIT!" The doctor shouted before he and Shiki posed together, beaming smiles on their faces.
"….C-can we just get this over with?" Tomura asked, not sure how to react to all this.
"There we are. It seems you do have the capacity for a Quirk. You don't have the extra toe joint present in those that are Quirkless."
"Then why would Sensei give me a pair of shoes meant for Quirkless people?" Tomura wondered.
"Perhaps as part of some con. Shiggy always did like long-convoluted games." Shiki noted while taking a drag from his cigar. "Tell me something, Tomura-Boy...do you remember anything from your childhood?"
Tomura closed his eyes, trying to go back in time to that fateful day...only to find a fog in place. However, he could see a horrified man's face, a crying little girl, a woman rushing out to hug him, and an old couple looking horrified as something unseen tore them to bloody pieces.
Cringing, the young villain rubbed his scalp to stave off the stinging sensation as Shiki patted him on the back.
"No need to fret, my boy. Take your time."
Tomura nodded and Kurogiri opened a Warp Gate to take him back to the League Hideout. As the young villain left, Shiki frowned as he turned to Dr. Indigo.
"Indigo...it seems Shiggy had a bigger hand to play in how Tomura-Boy got to where he is now..."
Dr. Indigo nodded in agreement, making cuckoo notions and thumbs down notions.
"TALK DANG NABBIT!" Shiki ordered.
DEVIL
Two weeks had passed since the I-Island incident; the students of 1A's fame had gone up exponentially, with the press and civilians rushing to take pictures or set up interviews with the crew and others involved. The HPSC had even delivered medals to the crew mates, with All Might singing his students' praises.
Then came an unexpected but very welcome surprise.
"Morning everyone!" A certain blonde genius beamed as the crew stepped into class for the day.
"Morning Melis…Wait, MELISSA?!" Marco gasped in realization along with the others, making the blonde girl chuckle.
"Surprise!" Melissa beamed as she hugged Marco, who entered what many would call 'the blue screen of shock'. "Papa decided to let me transfer to UA and Uncle Might pulled a few strings."
"Well welcome, choom!" Rebecca smiled, shaking the American girl's hand. "If you want help on any upgrades or tech…?"
Melissa let the still frozen Marco go, the sight of which made his friends and All Might himself coo, as she revealed new scematics for the Iron-Might suit, with ideas for with gadgets and tools based on all her friends' powers and Quirks.
DEVIL
"Something on your mind, Deku?" Katsuki asked as he and Yaato were cooking for the crew, now joined by Melissa, at the beach house.
Izuku frowned, having recently been busy looking up anything that might point to Tomura or Kurogiri. After the I-Island Incident, seeing that All For One had a hand in Wolfram's operation instilled in him the drive to learn as much as possible about their adversaries.
"I've been trying to find any leads on who Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri are."
"The creepy bastard with the hands and the warp fucker?" Katsuki asked. "Why even bother learning about those low lives?"
"They've been the focal points of all the League of Villains activities we've stumbled across. The USJ, the attack on Hosu, even the trip to the mall." Izuku said. "So far, I've only found something on Tomura. Kurogiri is still a non-entity."
Sure enough, Izuku did find a young boy matching Tomura's description, but he wasn't sure if it was relevant. For starters, the boy, Tenko Shimura, was born without the extra toe joint but seemingly did not manifest a Quirk, as if his Quirk Factor had just...vanished.
"Well, when you're done, head on down to dinner before Kirby, Stay Puft, and the others eat everything first," Katsuki said as he headed back to the kitchen.
Izuku frowned, having noticed something special about Tenko, and decided to call up Toshinori, who he had on speed-dial.
"What's up, Young Midoriya?"
"The person who gave you One For All was Nana Shimura, right? Did she have any family?"
"She did have a husband, though he was murdered by All For One. They had one son together, but she sent him off for adoption and never had the chance to retrieve him. Why do you ask?"
"I think that son had kids of his own. I'm looking at a file for Tenko Shimura; his listed relatives are an unnamed grandmother."
"Strange...If Tenko is Sensei's grandson you'd think that would be common knowledge. I'll have Tsukauchi look into that."
Izuku nodded and hung up before heading downstairs to join his crew and friends for dinner.
DEVIL
Tomura returned to the bar, where the new League of Villains was meeting.
"Okay, everyone, we're going on a very important assignment right now. Our benefactor, and I'm sure you know to whom I'm referring, wants us to keep targeting UA High School since that's where All-Might is teaching."
"However, we've recently lost contact with our mole. It seems that either they've been compromised...or they have decided to betray us." Kurogiri added. "Nevertheless, we were still able to acquire schematics for the forest owned by the Wild Wild Pussycats and Water Hose Duo."
A growl came from a particularly large and well-built member with blonde hair and a scarred eye but nobody paid him any heed.
"So what does the big bad Boogeyman want us to do for him?" Dabi asked sarcastically.
"Sensei wants us to target the Wild Wild Pussycats. They are to be captured alive, as he desires their Quirks." Kurogiri explained.
Rapunzel cackled. "Do they have to be alive for him to do that? I want a chance at ripping apart those ugly little alleycats...except for Tiger, I respect him too much."
"Word on that, sister!" Laughed a masculine woman with stubble and sunglasses named Magne.
"From what Shiki has also told me, there's going to be Summer Training Camp for those UA Brats as well." Tomura pointed out. "If we end up crossing paths with them...I'd appreciate it if you go easy on them. Do not seriously engage them because they will bite back hard."
"So, rough 'em up a little bit, huh?" Shuichi, now going by the codename 'Spinner' asked. "I can go with that. From their experiences, they are already proving themselves true heroes."
Atsuhiro, going by the moniker of 'Mr. Compress', nodded. He and Shuichi had just recently joined up with the League along with a young middle school boy named Juudai Suimin, who went by the title of 'Mustard'.
Thrax chuckled. "Well...guess we're setting up the game plan, huh? What's our first move?"
"First, let's discuss who our raid party is going to be."
DEVIL
It was time at last, time to leave for camp. Izuku and the rest of his crew were currently in the UA parking lot with three busses, no doubt the others were for Class 1-A and 1-B.
"We're heeeeere~!" Mina cheered as she came in, her fat body making her footsteps thump heavily.
"Strawberry!" Chikara gushed as he flew up into Mina's soft blubbery embrace, which she returned.
"It's camp time!" Ochako, Denki, Setsuna, and Tsuburaba chanted, doing a silly little dance. "S'mores, fireworks, swimming, hiking!"
Bakara giggled. "Seems everyone is excited."
"I wonder where All-Might is, though...doesn't he teach your class?" Yui asked.
"We decided to give him some time to be with Mother Snow. Those two make such a lovely couple." Lilique smiled.
"Midnight will be substituting for us...as well as Miruko and Mount Lady." Ben sighed.
"BENNY~!"
The obese 18 Heroine wrapped her fat but firm arms around her adopted son, smothering his face in her breasts. Minoru pouted in jealousy at this while Katsuki smirked at Miruko.
"So, how are you holding up being a big bunny butterball?"
"I've been surviving." The rotund Rabbit Hero chuckled. "Lucky I still got plenty of lift to carry this pile of chocolate cookie dough."
"I wish Bad were here..." Mount Lady pouted, her chubby cheeks making her look adorable.
"Alright, everyone get ready and board your assigned buses!" Vlad King barked to the gathered students.
"During your summer camp, we'll be pushing you to go beyond your limits. Some of you have weaknesses you need to overcome. Others simply need more practice and knowledge of practical application." Aizawa said. "And for those of you looking forward to regular camp activities, don't worry. There will be time for those in between training. But expect to be exhausted by the time you're able to enjoy them."
"It can't be any worse than what I've gone through at Fenrir..." Mukuro muttered as Himiko patted her on the back.
"Regardless, anything that makes us stronger, we'll gladly take," Fumikage said, Momo nodding in agreement.
"This is so exciting!" Melissa smiled. "Though since I don't really have a Quirk..."
"Don't worry, sweetie. We'll be helping you build up your physical fitness instead." Midnight reassured. "That and you'll have plenty of time to work on upgrading your suit."
"That and we brought someone who was more than happy to come assist," Aizawa added, pointing to the back. The students all looked up to see the back of the bus being sliced open and a figure in a familiar jetpack..
"…Oh, boy….." Most of the crew tensed knowingly, aside from Shun, who actually smiled as he recognized the pink dreadlocks.
"Here's HATSUME!" Mei shouted as she leapt down, landing perfectly in Shun's arms. "Hey sweetie!"
"Hello." Shun smiled. "Happy and confused to see you."
"Well, I AM your guys's Suppor….." Mei started before spying a new face. "Shun. Whose the blonde?"
"Oh, I'm Melissa." The American girl smiled, offering a handshake. "Melissa Shield. I just started at UA…"
Mei let out a gasp.
"M-M-M-M-Melissa Shield? As in David Shield? The Nobel prize winning scientist and sidekick to All Might?! THAT SHIELD?!"
Mei then jumped out of Shun's arms and gave Melissa a very animated and energetic handshake.
"Nice to meet ya! Also., dang girl, you are beautiful! If I wasn't already dating Shun, I'd be asking you out!" Mei said.
"….I feel threatened." Marco muttered to Click, who gave chirping giggles.
"I personally think the same." Shun said
"….That Mei will replace me or that if you hadn't met Mei you'd ask Melissa out?"
Shun just smiled evilly.
DEVIL
Two hours later the buses stopped in a clearing that overlooked a forest and strangely there was a car parked there. The students all disembarked and looked confused to see this wasn't a rest stop.
"Since I know you're likely fooling around behind my back, you might as well take the chance while you have it. You won't be getting another one." Aizawa said.
"Why do I get the feeling we're about to get hazed again?" Kyouka asked.
"Is this what you've been dealing with having Aizawa as your teacher?" Kobeni asked Denki.
"More or less..."
"And now we're getting thrown into it as well..." Hitoshi sighed as he realized what was going on.
The front doors of the car opened up as a female voice spoke up.
"Been a long time Eraser, Vlad, Midnight."
"Thanks for all the help," Aizawa said as the occupants got out of the car.
"Your feline fantasies are here!"
"Perfectly cute and cat-like girls!"
"YOU CAN CALL US THE...WILD WILD PUSSYCATS!"
"This is not the place for magical girl cosplay! That sort of thing should only be done at conventions!" Minoru called out.
The other students looked at him as if he'd grown a second head.
"…What? It is. And before anyone says anything may I remind you I have a sexy shapeshifting girlfriend? Such flimsy attempts at showboating no longer affect me."
That got him some begrudged respect.
"These are the pros you'll be working with during your training camp," Aizawa explained.
"NO WAY!" Izuku gushed. "MANDALAY AND PIXIE-BOB OF THE WILD WILD PUSSYCATS!"
"They're a four-person hero team that specializes in mountain rescue training!" Hilda declared. "The Pussycats were founded when we were all just kids! This marks their twelfth year as a-"
She suddenly felt[Danger Sense]go off and dodged as Pixie-Bob tried to grab her head with a set of retractable claws hidden in her glove. She wound up stumbling in surprise.
Midnight sighed. "I probably should have warned you. Pixie-Bob doesn't like being reminded of her age."
"I'm eighteen at heart!"
Miruko snickered. "Yeah, keep saying that, Christmas Cake..."
Izuku then noticed a little boy had also walked out of the car. He looked no older than Eri and Komeko and seemed to have a nervous look on his face.
"We own this whole stretch of land out here. Everything you can see. You'll be staying at that summer camp over there in the distance." Mandalay told everyone.
"Then why stop all the way up here?" Ochako asked.
"I'm afraid we all can think of the answer to that one..." Sumiko said.
"It's a good thing we were allowed to bring support gear," Melissa said.
"So Vlad, Nemuri, I was thinking we separate them by a ten-minute gap," Aizawa suggested.
Vlad King nodded. "Sounds good. Shall we decide who goes first in our regular way?"
"The current time is 9:30 AM! If you're fast about it, you might make it to the camp by noon." Mandalay noted.
"Well...guess we got no choice." Katsuki sighed before smirking at the students of 1-A and 1-B. "Try to keep up, losers!"
With that said, everyone in Izuku's Crew leaped off the cliff. Some of the less athletically inclined like Lilique and Kobeni clung to the likes of Penny and Hilda as they entered the forest.
"HEY! WAIT FOR US!" Yamato barked as he, Koby, Uta, Carrot, N, Vivi, Seryu, Nimona, and Inasa leaped after everyone.
"HOT-BLOODED!" Inasa cheered.
"Hoo-wee!" Ellie whistled. "Think we should join 'em?"
"You know it!" Mei grinned before dragging Hitoshi along. "Come along, Eyebags!"
"I DIDN'T CONSENT TO THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!" Hitoshi screamed as Mei and Ellie jumped off the cliff with him in tow.
"So...should we...?" Sen awkwardly asked his classmates.
He got his answer when the rest of 1-A and 1-B followed after their peers over the cliff. Aizawa couldn't help but smirk proudly as he turned to Vlad King.
"Guess we didn't need to do our usual thing after all."
Sekijiro rolled his eyes. "I suppose so."
"So...you guys wanna get something to eat? I'm starving!" Mount Lady said.
"You fatass bimbo! You already ate four bags of beef jerky on the way over here!" Miruko snapped.
DEVIL
"So...now what?" Tetsutetsu asked as the large group of 74 UA students gathered together.
"This forest is pretty spacious to fit over 74 different unique characters in one scene." Bakara noted.
"Uhhhh...what?" Sero asked awkwardly.
"Why am I suddenly reminded of our DnD sessions?" Shoto wondered.
"…You do DnD?"
"Garp-sensei was quite insistent I have a life outside of heroics." Shoto explained. "Ben then dragged me to a few and I find them quiet fun and calming.
"Hey, Mel! You got that thing?" Hilda asked.
"Sure do!" Melissa smiled as she tossed Hilda a red band, which the plump girl put on her wrist as it unwrapped into what looked like sports tape.
"What's that, Sis?" Rosa asked.
Hilda smirked. "It's called the Full Gauntlet. Melissa made it to help me properly channel One For All's raw energy."
"So, what do we do? I'm pretty sure Ben's got some kind of Speed or Warp Quirk handy for us to get through this forest." Nimona said.
"That would make things too easy." The Quirk Artificer said. "We wouldn't have much of a story otherwise."
"What story?! This whole story has been one huge power trip!" Yaato pointed out incredulously.
"Uh, guys..." Shun spoke up. "I think I've just discovered why they call this the Beast's Forest."
He pointed to a giant four-legged creature with no eyes and a wide maw filled with teeth.
"Oh...good thing I already went to the bathroom..." Minoru whimpered in terror.
"Gentle creature of the forest! We mean no harm to your home and are just passing through!" Kouji called out. "Please allow us safe passage and we will leave you in peace!"
The creature didn't heed Koda and struck with one of its forelimbs. The limb was about to strike the rock-headed animal lover, only for N to tackle him out of the way while coating his body in Aggron Armor.
"Are you okay, Kouda-Kun?"
Kouji shakily nodded as he was helped to his feet.
"I don't think this is a natural creature. Not only was it somehow immune to Koda's Quirk, but its skin feels too much like dirt." Carrot said, sniffing the air.
"These things are just golems created by Pixie-Bob. Her Quirk is called[Earth Flow], letting her manipulate the ground however she wants." Vivi realized.
"So what? We've got Earthbenders on our side too!" Nimona smirked.
Kohaku grinned as she and Vivi stepped up.
"Clear the way, gang! We're coming in loud!"
"Hell yeah! No holding back on these things!" Himiko cheered as she drew her swords.
DEVIL
In the end, it was 2:00 PM when the Hero Students made their way out of the forest, all in varying states of exhaustion.
"Five and a half hours. That's a little faster than we were expecting." Mandalay said.
"I thought you said we'd be done by around noon." Katsuki huffed.
"Sorry, I guess we were going by how long it would take us." Mandalay admitted sheepishly. "But to do it as fast as you did is nothing short of incredible!"
"Well, amazing work. You actually got here much faster than I figured. You did just amazing against my dirt monsters. You guys were seriously great." Pixie-Bob said before pointing at Izuku, Katsuki, Shoto, Tenya, and Ben. "Especially the five of you! It seems you've had quite a bit of experience!"
She licked her lips, which set off red flags in all five boys.
"I call dibs on these-"
However, a dark menacing aura loomed over Pixie-Bob like a horrible monster as she shakily turned around to see Midnight grinning at her. The several hundred pounds that were added to her frame made her look like a wrathful giant compared to Pixie-Bob.
"I'm sorry...are you planning on seducing my TEENAGE SON AND HIS FRIENDS?"
The Fat Dominatrix then grabbed the screaming Pixie-Bob and dragged her away to... "Educate" her. Aizawa watched this going on and sighed as he shook his head.
"You're….?"
"No, no. She needs to learn." Ragdoll said.
"Has she always been like this?"
"It's gotten worse lately." Mandalay sighed. "She's at the age to take a mate…."
"But living in the mountains all the time means we haven't really had much chance to go dating."
Hearing the new voice, everyone looked to see a woman dressed like a Power Ranger Firefighter walking in. Izuku and Ochako gasped in excitement when they recognized who it was.
"No way! That's Aquine, one half of the Water Hose Duo!"
"They are the best Rescue Heroes next to Thirteen!" Ochako gushed.
"Glad to meet fans." Aquine smiled.
It was then the little boy from earlier shyly peeked out from behind the woman's leg, making her smile as she gestured over to the students.
"It's okay, Kota. They're trustworthy."
"Awww, who's this wittle guy?" Kohaku cooed.
"This is my son, Kota Izumi." Aquine introduced. "Don't mind him, he's a little shy."
Izuku walked over. "Hey there. My name's Izuku Midoriya. I'm from the UA High School Hero Course."
"Midoriya...?" Kota asked. "Are you...related to Garp the Fist?"
"Yeah, he's my Grandpa! Why do you ask?"
"A villain almost killed Mom and Dad...but Garp saved them. He beat the villain with just one punch!"
"Oh, I heard about that!" Koby said as he stepped forward. "Hi, I'm Koby! I'm Garp's apprentice!"
"I bet he'd make great friends with Komeko and Eri!" Makoto smiled.
"Oh my goodness, that would be so adorable~!" Himiko gushed.
"Oy! Stop giving the rest of us diabetes over here!" Nia barked.
"Please Nia." Mipha teased her friend. "You'd know you'd die happy."
"…..you don't have to announce it…."
"You kids should all rest up. Dinner will be ready soon." Vlad King said before giving a look at Mount Lady and Miruko. "And don't you two think of hogging everything!"
"Hey, just because we've put on a couple hundred extra pounds doesn't make us gluttons!" Mount Lady pouted.
Miruko rolled her eyes. "Speak for yourself, Pillsbury."
Knightmare Lord A/N:
The League of Villains are preparing for a new raid while our young heroes get ready for the most hardcore training of their lives.
Also, yes, the Water Hose Duo are alive as we had implied a while ago. This means Kota is a bit more happy than he was when he first appeared.
Anything you'd like to add, Mrotrax?

Elated to see Kohta acting like a normal little boy…and looking forward to the Summer Camp battles!
