-Chapter 20: Teen Nation: Training from Hell-

At early sunrise, around four in the morning due to summer shenanigans, the students of 1A and 1B were awoken via speaker to Mandalay's voice. Thanks to the Pussycats' hot spring baths, the students of UA felt rejuvenated, though still, wouldn't it have killed them to let them sleep in a little more...? To start the day was simple breakfast of eggs, toast, and sausage links, of which Son Goku wasn't allowed to have more than one plate, that was when he pulled out his bag of Hermit Beans, after he was done with his small meal.
"Well, bottom's up!" the Saiyan remarked to himself, as he picked out a single bean and chewed on it. Truthfully, the bean tasted awful, like celery slathered in fish oil. However, before he could even spit out the bean, he felt... full. Like, he had an actual full stomach!
"Woah! What the heck did they pull in those beans...? I feel completely full!" he remarked to himself in wonder, pulling out another Bean and studying it. While they are shaped like lima beans, they are a distinct light green with no spots on them. Though because he was sitting with some of his friends, they noticed him not eating the single lima bean in his fingers.
"Hey, Goku-kun, why are you holding a lima bean?" Izuku questioned first.
"Oh! Well, Aizawa-sensei gave a sack of these beans to me. He said that it should have enough energy to keep someone fed enough for three days, and if my Quirk wasn't as energy intensive as it is, I think it could have actually done that!" was Goku's explanation to his verdant friend's question.
"It seems to be meant just for Son-kun, Midoriya-san. Because goodness knows how much you can put down in fifteen minutes time." Momo explained her rationale, though the Saiyan looked slightly pouty about her comment, to which she giggled a little. "Though the same could be said for me and my appetite. It's intriguing how our Quirks are truly coincidental in their functionality. Your's just happens to expel energy similar to Nejire-chan's, while mine expends energy through my lipids."
"You think that was how you were able to reflect my Kamehameha? Like you created energy?"
"Hmmm..." She had to think about it a little bit. She never created energy by itself, as that's usually a result of chemical reactions from objects she did create. However, there is a theory that could explain it to an extent in physics. The Theory of General Relativity, simplified as energy equaling mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. And what is the Kamehameha if not a pillar of energy with a mass she could direct back? "I... hadn't thought of it like that...! Perhaps that could be the answer, but I will need to test it."

When everyone's done and they were ready to go, Aizawa and Mandalay were just waiting at their table, when the Saiyan showed up.
"There's something I'll need your help with," Goku started out. "If I'm gonna have to train in that giant monkey form, I'm going to have to come clean with my classmates. I'm just... nervous they'll take it the wrong way." With that, Mandalay was deep in thought while Aizawa nodded.
"It would have been a conversation in eventuality, though with how you've earned their respect, Son Goku, I have no doubt they'll accept it. Regardless, if you need an adult to help you with getting that message across, then I'll help to the best of my ability."
"Surely, with what happened at Hosu, this giant monkey form can't be all bad!" The Red Pussycat joined in.
"Hmm? You know about that?"
"Well, as much as we could sleuth out. The most we got were those conspiracy theory sites."
"Which often distorts the truth in order to fit their feeble-minded messages. I will need to console with Principal Nezu about this, because while the giant ape itself isn't under NDA, the truth about the Great Ape is, and I would rather not chain up the rat with more Commission deals. But if you and I are allowed to let your classmates know, you should demonstrate that ability in front of them."
"Thanks a lot for your help, Aizawa-sensei," Goku bowed before leaving.
"...How'd I get so tangled into a student...?" the 1A teacher muttered to himself at the incredulous situation he found himself in, though Mandalay just looked on with a smile.
"I think it's actually quite beautiful how much he trusts you, Eraserhead. I mean, the only people who probably knows more about him than you is Nezu and those close to the Madam President's circle. And the fact he knows you won't talk about him or his Quirk's abilities gives him that extra level of trust and security."
"It's irrational to treat one with more favors than it is to treat twenty with equal favors, however. That's how Heroes die."
"Or it could be how someone truly goes beyond their limits," Mandalay interjected. "The worst thing one can do is to be completely trustless in a position of authority. If they cannot trust a pack alpha, then they will not listen and be willing to do anything, whether they got permission or not. It's part of the reason we, as a group of four, are able to work so well together! The other part is that I trust them, because like respect, trust is a two-way cat highway. You need to trust them as much as they trust you."
Despite wanting to rebuke her point, Shota really can't argue against her or her track record, nor her resolve. At the end, part of the reason he didn't care for large groups of kids was because he was only ever in a trio, which dissolved into a duo following the death of his best friend, which then became a solo act when his other friend went into radio. At the current moment, sure, there are mini-cliques forming, but as a whole, everyone in Class 1-A has a strong bond, with some still retaining a strong bond with Tenya and Yuga. The small exception was Minoru, though because of Izuku's strong bond, he was tolerated just enough by everyone else. The other part of his reason was because he really didn't want his kids to have to grieve over one of their dead classmates, because above all, killing one of them would be like they had killed him.
"Aww, you really have a soft spot for those kittens, don't you?" In came Ragdoll with a sweet smile. In response, Shota softly groaned in annoyance.
"Curse you and your Search..."

With the first day of training officially starting at 5:30 AM, Aizawa had a point to make with Katsuki.
"Hey, you. How far do you think you can throw this? From what I recall, your record at school was 705.2 meters, was it not?" He tossed a familiar baseball to the bomber.
"Huh, this is from that strength training thing." Katsuki thought to himself, before a grin broke out. "With how much we trained over these last few months, I'm sure I can launch this stupid thing well over a kilometer away!" With a shout of "GO TO HELL!" and a precise explosion, the ball sailed through the air. ...Though it landed only four additional meters away, to the nasty shock of the boys.
"The thing with you is that your techniques and mind have improved thanks to those constant 'extracurricular' interruptions. And perhaps, your bodies have, too. But your Quirks have not grown as rapidly as expected. And this is why we're here. I hope you're ready for Hell, because this week will bring it to you if you can't keep up."
"H-hey, should Goku-san throw the baseball?" Denki asked, to which Shota shuddered a little.
"He is an exception to the rule. Besides, I was there to witness the 'sonic boom' incident during his race. And unless you want a repeat performance, I suggest you all start taking your practice seriously." That got Denki off his back.

That's when he started to have their special training stations utilized. Momo was forced to snarf down snacks while constantly Creating things. Ochako was rolling around in a ball to induce pure nausea no matter where she goes. Shoto was in an oil barrel full of water, either boiling himself or freezing himself in the middle of a scorched pit. Denki hooked to an electric generator and using his Electricity to keep it powered up. To the spectating Class 1-B, who were ready to go slightly later at 6 AM, they were petrified seeing the downright torturous methods Shota's putting them through.

"Son, Midoriya, I had seen how both of you had grown. But, I am curious to see how much you are able to further grow. For Son, you are to use your sensing to keep a step ahead of Midoriya, and to keep yourself from fighting him unless you are cornered. As for you, Midoriya, you are to chase Son and push yourself to use more of your Quirk's strength. This will continue until 11:30 AM, after which, I will require Son to switch to a different training method to maximize his Quirk potential. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Aizawa-sensei!" the two nodded, before they started their game of Hide and Go Seek.
"That's... unusually normal, Aizawa," Vlad King spoke up as he walked, witnessing the 1A Training Session From Hell.
"You would think that, but the truth is that Son had gotten much stronger. It was since that Nomu beat him up, that had fundamentally changed his strength and endurance. It's not to say that he wasn't already strong by his own right, but since that day, he had gotten to the point he could rival actual Pro Heroes in combat. So this test is more for Midoriya to improve his Quirk while we examine Son's endurance and perception."
"Right, I forgot you somehow got a kid who actually punched Totaga, despite his expert control over his Quirk! How'd you get so lucky to get him, anyways?"
"Hell if I know, Kan. First, he was that 'Kid Kong' vigilante, then he plopped himself in the Entrance Exam, and then he was put into my class."
"Wait, that one tiny tyke who wore that mask and smacked down Villains with his fist and a tree branch? The very same Kid Kong?" To which Shota just nodded. "Damn..."

Shota was mostly studying Goku throughout the next six hours, though he would be remissed to say that he wasn't picking up on Izuku's progress, either. The two are really like yin and yang. All Might trusted that small fry, whereas he trusted the Saiyan. It wasn't to say he was not satisfied with the training the rest of his problem children were doing, but it's more that he knew their training was slower going since they've had their Quirks since, at the latest, four years old. The verdant haired student clearly didn't have that same level of experience, but his growth was nothing to sneeze at, as he continuously broke past his own limitations. As for the monkey-tailed teen, he keeps on trying to break whatever limits he thinks he's got, and to him, the unnerving part was that he's continuously chipping away at it. Despite being within the realms of the strongest Heroes of all time at just fifteen years old, he's still finding limits to push past. It's truthfully because of a what-if: What If All For One had gotten to Goku instead that caused him that bit of stress.

At 11:30 AM, Goku and Izuku were panting a bit, though they couldn't help but smile. There were a few marks on the Saiyan's body where Izuku had successfully landed 8% Smashes, with a couple redder spots where he landed 12% Smashes, but there's also plenty of marks where Goku successfully countered with a Ki Attack. While Izuku looked slightly redder than usual, he was walking without any problems. With that, Tiger came into play, snatching up Izuku so that he'd train with the Pussycats. For Goku...
"You're now to use your Ki attacks or whatever you call them to destroy these targets Pixie-Bob will create from her Quirk. After you've completely depleted your energy reserve, then you may eat one of your Hermit Beans. For the record, I am surprised that they worked as well as they do."
"Me, too! I still got plenty in me, Aizawa-sensei!" The Saiyan flexed his muscles, a short Ki Aura flaring around him, to which Shota can't help but give a genuine smile.
"That's the Kid Kong that had given me trouble. Get to work!"
With that, from 11:31 AM until the end of training for the day, the Saiyan started to truly push his Ki limitations. Thanks to Nejire's training, he became more efficient with his energy spending. But it'll be thanks to the Wild Wild Pussycats and Aizawa that he'll gain a deeper pool of Ki to utilize. However, he did need to use a Hermit Been at around 1:15 PM, when his attempt at a Kamehameha ended with a pathetic poof of smoke as he fell to his knees in exhaustion.

"Aside from this morning, yesterday was the last day you kittens get to have such a pampered lifestyle!" Pixie-Bob declared, as she and Ragdoll got together an entire batch of ingredients.
"So for dinner tonight, you all get to make some beef curry!" Ragdoll shuffled everything alongside her partner, a combo of blue and yellow arranging everything together.
"Now, be like a wild cat and hunt for your own food!" the Blue Pussycat yelled, as the tired 1-A students were the first to get their kits. However, due to the Hermit Bean, Goku still had a fair amount of pep in his step, as he strove forward.
The first thing to do was to gather firewood, which was in abundance. Then, it was about starting the flames in fire pits, above which rested pots. A couple were designated for rice, others were designated for curry. Then, came igniting the fire.

"Hey, Momo, do you happen to have a piece of string I could use?" Goku asked her, in his hands were two sticks. One curved, the other was somewhat straight.
"Certainly, Son-kun, though if I may ask, what are you going to do with those pieces of wood?" She was curious, as she elected to just Create some string, to which he was able to fashion a fire bow.
"Starting some fires!" He then went to work, starting with one pot, with a small patch of dried grass and a stone, the Saiyan started to use the bow. At first, nothing significant happened, but as he got faster, there started to be a small sputter of smoke. Soon, that smoke was constant, as an ember burnt. Thanks to a few well-placed blows, more oxygen was given to the ember, which then produced a flame. After which, that flame became large enough to start heating the water in the pot.
"Woah! How'd you do that, Goku-kun?!" Mina was surprised.
"My dad taught me how to use a fire bow!" He then gave the bow to Mina, who was curious about this device made from wood and string.
"It has been a while since I've read about that piece of technology, but the way Son-kun operated the device was by applying friction to the straight stick. When it gets fast enough, the friction is high enough such that the stick experiences an increase in temperature. When used on combustible matter, such as dried grass, it can allow embers to form, though without his introduction of oxygen by gently blowing onto the grass, those embers could die and an attempt at starting a fire would fail."
"Hmm? Couldn't you use your Quirk to start a fire?" Ochako looked at him with curiosity.
"Eh, not really...? My Ki attacks can generate heat, but I am not yet at the point I could set something on fire without destroying it."
"Regardless, if we're separated, it's imperative that we learn how to create fires if people like Todoroki-san aren't availabe."
"Might as well get this over with." Shoto just used his Fire Side to light the rest of the pots, which caused Momo to deflate a little bit, though it was faster. With that and Katsuki and Goku getting into a cookoff, the kids of 1A had their dinner. True, it wasn't Lunch Rush, but this isn't too bad, either.

In the meanwhile, Kota just stared in disgust. These Quirks cause nothing but trouble, as he decided to hide away at his base on a cliffside... Only to have him be dealing with an Izuku Midoriya who just wouldn't leave him alone. He waxes lyrical about "heroes" this, "I had a friend who was Quirkless" that, and it pissed him off, especially once he mentioned Water Hose. His... parents... He couldn't understand why they praised his parents for their actions, when at the end of it, he's been abandoned. Orphaned. Forced to move to a place with more Heroes, where he sees even more Heroes-in-Training. And he's afraid, which he expressed through venom and fury. Finally, he left him alone, but he left a plate of curry.

At 7:00 PM, there was a crowd gathered of just 1-A students in a random spot in the Forest. Flanked to either side of Son Goku, who wore just a one-piece undergarment, was Shota Aizawa and Shino Sosaki, and behind them was a a device that is a combination of a dish array with a small array of solar panels mounted on a heavy-duty tripod.
"Remember, this is all under a non-disclosure agreement. If you violate this agreement, you will be expelled. No exceptions. And you will be investigated." Shota warned the kids, to which they don't have any issues with. Some were confused, but others were expecting this response.
"To tell you all the truth, my Quirk has another factor to it, but it requires the full moon to work." This caused a few confused murmurs among the body, but those in the know, like Izuku, Momo, Ochako, Shoto, and Katsuki realized what this was. And to be frank, they're not worried because of the transformation, they're more worried for the reaction their classmates would have. Though for Katsuki specifically, he breaks out a grin, as the next time he gets to be in Mirko's face, he can mentally say that he told her so.
"Principal Nezu had given us permission to share it with you. As for those who are going to ask what is the device behind us, it'll allow Son to transform into this state whenever he wants." This caught the Saiyan by surprise.
"Hmm? I hadn't heard about that before... You sure it'll work?"
"Well, it's not the full moon yet, so you can't just look at it. This'll be our first test of this device the Support Class whipped up."

And with that, he went over and turned the device on. After a few seconds, he pushed the trigger, shooting a flashing light source onto Goku. Once he looked right into the main turret, that's when it started. The thumping heartbeat, the straining, and soon, the gigantification and morphing of his features. Soon, there unleashed a giant roar from its maw, as there's now a giant ape with a monkey tail where Son Goku once stood.
"WOAH! GOKU-KUN'S SO HUGE!" Mina pointed out first.
"HE'S SO MUCH SCARIER LIKE THIS, OH MY KAMI-GOD!" Mineta was trying to run away, though a Sero tape kept him from going too far.
"JESUS! No wonder why he'd prefer to keep that thing hidden away!" Kyoka covered her ears as the Great Ape's roar was deafening to her.
"Midoriya-san, Todoroki-san... W-Was it this petrifying to see him in this state...?" Momo had to ask the two, a hint of fear in her voice as she looked upon him and hearing the roar that was a few kilometers away when she last heard it was now being heard within a few meters. Being told he was the ape and actually seeing him transform are different experiences, after all.
"I-It still kinda is, Yaoyorozu-san... But he's still there, just a bit... larger."
"Give it a few seconds, Yaoyorozu-san. He'll be back to normal."

Despite the urge to destroy still permeating through his mind, he had obtained enough control through not just his training with the Ape, but also his experience in controlling his Ikari form, as he looks down at his classmates.
"This... is my Great Ape transformation." The giant beast replied, with his voice dropping an octave and gaining a low growl throughout his speech, though it was still Goku's voice. They could see it, the ruby red eyes, the dark brown fur, even the underwear that stretched to fit him.
"HAH! I knew it! I friggin' knew it was you, Monkey!" Katsuki was elated his hunch was proven correct, to which the Great Ape groaned in annoyance. However, Asui looked up at him with curiosity, approaching him.
"If you won't mind me asking, ribbit, but is this your true form? Or is the other form your true form?"
"If you must know, Asui-"
"I prefer Tsu, ribbit."
"Right... My true form was the human form you saw me in earlier. Though it also doesn't have as much access to power as this form does. My Berserker form, Ikari... That allows me to draw the power from this form while retaining my humanoid shape."
Denki was gonna ask a question, though Momo raised her hand.
"Son-kun, just to clarify for everybody here and now, how is 'Great Ape' form different from the Nomu that had attacked us at the USJ and besieged Hosu Ward?" To which the ape pondered her question, while the poor electric-haired student was flabbergasted, since that was gonna be his question.
"The main tells you can use is the fact that my fur and skin color are normal tones, and if I didn't wear this one-piece, then you'd see every bit of me is covered in the same fur. I also only appear during times of the Full Moon or whenever that device was used. The most important thing is that I don't have that weird brain cage device those things have."
There was small mutterings, mostly those aimed at Momo for being a genius and actually asking the question.
"So wait, if you've had this form for this long, Goku, why wait until now to reveal it to us?" Kyoka cut in, her tone betraying an indignant feeling to this secret.
"I can tell you about my first transformation eight years ago, if that'll help you understand my secrecy..." And this is where the Saiyan revealed the nature of his first transformation near Mt. Fuji. The hike, the full moon, his parents hiding from him, Yoroi Musha's appearance and victory against the Ape, and the four years it took to get close to this level of control. "...That and, honestly, Kyoka... I was afraid I would just be designated a freak if I had shown this off earlier."
Truth be told, that had cut into Kyoka's spirit more than she could have expected. Since if she hadn't gotten to know Goku; the good, the bad, and the goofy, she might have actually called him a freak.
"I can understand that sentimentality all too well, Son-san," Mezo then stepped up. "But know that you were never a freak in my eyes. You're you. With your honorable spirit and fierce tenacity carrying you forward, you're the furthest thing you can be from a freak, Great Ape or not."
"Well spoken, Shoji-san," Fumikage spoke up. "It takes real strength of character to control such a destructive aspect of yourself, and it's a burden I equally share with my Dark Shadow. Son-san, you are not alone, and you will never be alone, whether in the darkness or the light."

As they're going on and on about the Great Ape, there gathered a small group of Villains.
"Woah, that thing is huge!" a girl in a schoolgirl-like outfit remarked. "I wonder if his blood would be as tasty as if he were human?"
"I don't care for it, if I'm gonna have to be frank," A cold voice called out. "That thing attacked Endeavor. And it has no right to touch him where it should be mine."
"Man, incapacitating this kid's gonna be a tall order for my marbles, even for me!" A stylish man with a mask called out. "Though nothing in the briefing said anything about making sure his tail is intact..."
"Wait for my master's call and for more reinforcements to arrive," Kurogiri remarked with a stern voice. "The Mole has confirmed everything we need and all communications, according to my master, has gone well."
"Job... A job..." An insane Villain muttered with a tinge of bloodthirstiness in his voice.
"No matter... Those kids and those so-called 'Heroes' will live by the hope we give them."

After an hour, some of which the students of 1A attempted to spar against the Great Ape, the transformation wore off as the humanoid Goku was back to normal, but exhausted. The device was turned off to conserve its power cells.
"Hmm... It seems without a full moon or the device to sustain the transformation, he'll eventually transform back to normal without needing to remove the tail. Probably for the best it worked out as it did," Shota said to himself, before he looked towards the students. "That's enough for the night. For those who passed both exams, you're excused to go to bed."
"Huh? W-what about those who failed?!" Mina was sweating bullets.
"You'll stay with me for overnight remedial courses."
"...OVERNIGHT?!" Mina yelled at the top of her lungs as that meant poor Denki and Hanta were staying with her. The majority felt pity, though tired, as they went off to bed to rest their weary bones and muscles.

For the second day of training, they were allowed to sleep in until five-thirty in the morning, as they're now gonna operate until they are pushed to the point of starvation without any breakfast, aside from Momo and Goku, since the former's Quirk relies on her lipids and that requires food, and the latter's a case where he has to use truly inhuman amounts of energy for his Quirk. That being said, the Class 1A Remedial Trio look sluggish.

"That is the consequence of being too slow-witted and too lax," Shota shot out. "Think of that when you look upon your classmates and see them fine and full of life, while you look like you could collapse at any second."
Then, he looks over at Uraraka and Aoyama.
"As for you two, you barely passed with just 35 points, so I expect you to push yourselves extra hard when no one else says for you to do so, got it?"
"R-Right, Aizawa-sensei!" Ochako said, pushing around an Ochako-sized boulder while holding her mouth.
"G-got it, Aizawa-sensei..." Yuga bent over, feeling his stomach ache flare up. Following the revelation of this French pretty boy's allegiance and All Might's rationalization behind it, Aizawa pieced together that Yuga's Navel Laser was likely taken from someone else and given to him, given its negative effects are exasperated on him. And despite suspecting Izuku's Quirk of much the same, the fact he had started to train himself to become much better able to handle its power, even if that meant lowering its power output, meant he could just chalk it up to growing pains more than anything else.

At around 11 AM, he starts his operation.
"Yaoyorozu, you may be excused from your training for a few minutes to meet with us," Shota called out.
"Certainly, Aizawa-sensei," Momo bowed, as she stopped her Creation exercise and stopped eating these fatteningly sweet chocolate balls. Approaching her teacher, he and the Wild Wild Pussycats surrounded a table surrounding a blueprint of a pressurized shooter with an infrared light sensor, alongside a few that have seismic sensors, all of which have a single-shot dart with a GPS Tracking Unit.
"If this is at all possible, Yaoyorozu, will you be able to produce this device with your Quirk?"
"I could. Though if I may ask, where would you set these things up?" the Creation girl asked, looking a little nervous if this'll break the law, since these kinds of weapons are frowned upon.
"We'll just set them around the outer perimeter of the forest! It's actually more so we could track whatever or whoever dares to come to our abode uninvited!" Pixie-Bob popped up.
"Right, the Villain attack on our camp's supposed to happen today..." Momo cursed to herself, as she focused on creating these single-use sentry guns to help protect her classmates and her teachers, in spite of possibly breaking the law.
On her end, she had wished she found a way to make a chip that could be injected through a honeybee-like barbed tip, though Creating a false barbed seed to grip itself to the perpetrator's clothes could work well enough. On that note, with the assistance of the Pussycats' and what botanical journals they've got, she chose to base the GPS Trackers on the burs of a Bidens pilosa, due to its reputation as an invasive species.
As a proof of concept, she went for one, six, and ten pods per barbed shot, of which the six won due to a balance of quantity and accuracy with some sway. Incidentally, one tracker landed on Shota's Capture Scarf, and when he tried to pull them off, the tracker just anchored itself to it, but not on their skin. The seeds pricked at his fingers, but it clung onto the cloth. He was satisfied, but also annoyed, as he witnessed his most intelligent student creating the single-use turrets. Soon, while Momo was slightly thinned due to needing to focus on making these weapons, the ten guns were finished, with Pixie-Bob creating tiny goblin-like creatures to carry the guns off to vantage points.
"And that ought-a do it!" Pixie-Bob brushed her hands in satisfaction. "Now if we got any rival clans coming over, we'll know!"
"Not quite, I'll need to Create one more object..." As Momo focused, she created a GPS Tracking Device, which would allow the Wild Wild Pussycats the ability to truly track them without needing to have someone like Ragdoll to be exposed.
"Sheesh... I am absolutely glad you're such a good girl, because I would not want to face you as a Villain!" Ragdoll remarked with shock in her eyes. And while the Creation girl is confused on if she should react with admiration or embarrassment, perhaps even a little bit of indignant rage, she calmed herself before she nodded.
"It would make the most sense to keep everyone safe," she replied.
"Good. Until we announce, keep up your training, Yaoyorozu. You're not at your full potential, but you've grown significantly since you first landed in my class. And I want to see you grow better still."
"Yes, Sensei!" his student shouted and bowed, before she returned back to her training.

At 2 PM, training had ceased as there was a special announcement going on both sides. One from 1A and the other from 1B
"Alright, students. We are going to be hiking a few kilometers around the base of the mountain."/"Listen up! We're going to be moving training grounds."
"Because of Aoyama-san being used, ribbit?" As Asui asked, a few wayward glares landed on Yuga, causing him to recoil slightly in shame./"Huh, why is that?" asked Rikido, as he was getting kinda used to eating these sweets to increase his bulk.
"Right, because of that whole ordeal," Shota sighed, wishing that she was not as blunt as she usually was for this point. "Pack up your bags and get ready to hike, there will be a new place to shelter."/"Because we had found the mole, and if the Villains that had been pestering 1A is coming over, the last thing I'd want is you kids getting killed out there. So let's go get your stuff and move out!" Kan's words sent chills down everyone's spine, though Neito had hidden his fears behind an arrogant smirk. Surely, that'll knock their seats down a few pegs!
"Yes, Sensei!"/"Y-yes, Sensei...!" The crowd cried, though while 1A was steadfast, a good chunk of 1B were nervous, though with some words of encouragement from the metal man Tetsutetsu, sisterly bonding with Itsuna Kendo, and the mad ramblings of Neito Monoma, 1B steeled themselves.

It was from there that the First Years of the Hero Course went in and packed their essentials, such as sleeping bags, pajamas, UA Uniforms, and for Goku, his large stash of snacks. As soon as the gang cleared out, there was a task force that arrived from underneath the Wild Wild Pussycats' noses and the Villains' sleeping underneath the shade, preparing for their raid on the camp. Led by Hawks and a hero clothed entirely in denim who goes by Best Jeanist, alongside a detachment of HPSC Guardsmen and a couple more Pros who volunteered to come in that weren't either All Might or Endeavor, they started exercises to make the camp seem more lively. It was hoped that this would gain the attention of whoever it was that was gonna threaten these kids. Regardless, the bait has been planted and the trap is set. All's that left to see is if they will bite.

AN: Before you ask, yes, the name of this chapter is a reference to Kid Nation, where it's pretty much about a large gaggle of grade school kids were left in the desert to create a township for themselves. And yes, I would half bet that if there was a camera crew, it'd work out just as well as the actual show, just with less Hollywoodish Screwjobs and more Japanese Game Shows. As for the lack of Author Notes for the previous chapters until possible rewrites, it's mostly because the cold had passed and I found a different way to go about the chapters, since we're gonna be pretty much be breaking away from the canon path in a pretty shaking form. It's not that I want to entirely stop using the Manga as reference, since it's still a very usable source, it's more that I want to go with drastic changes. With the Sacred Saiyan series, this would be where Goku and Momo were successfully kidnapped. For me, this is where we're gonna get a kaiju fight.
