"Welcome, students, to USJ, the Unforeseen Simulation Joint!" Announced Inko as she led her class into the large training building, letting them admire all the different sections set up for rescue training. "Here, we'll train you to rescue civilians, both in teams and on your own."
Turning around, Inko saw her class straighten up slightly as they recognized another hero. This hero was Thirteen, a rescue specialist that wore an astronaut-themed outfit, though it oddly resembled that Michelin Man mascot. Still, a few students couldn't keep it together and started to whisper their admirations amongst themselves.
Ignoring the whispers, the hero in front of them stepped up to speak. "As you may know, I'm Thirteen, a rescue specialist hero. What you may not know is that my Quirk can easily kill someone." They said, gaining many curious looks from the students. "My Quirk, Blackhole, sucks in matter and if I didn't control it, I could've killed someone by accident." Pausing to let that piece of information sink in, a few students went from curious to terrified. "But that's why we have USJ. Here you will learn to use your gifts to help people like real heroes!"
"Sweet!"
"Let me at him, Shithead!"
"Wait! They even have fake villains! This is so awesome!"
Hearing the many shouts of their students, both Inko and Thirteen turned around to see a black portal opening up in the plaza. Seeing the hordes of villains coming from the portal, both of them went from teacher-mode to hero-mode.
"Stay with your partner! This is not a drill! Those are real villains!" Inko commanded frantically as she took out a pair of gloves and put them on, making them glow with electricity that constantly pulsing through the gloves.
Following her orders, everyone got closer to their partner, except for one or two people who thought they were better than that.
"Can I trust you?" Both Izuku and Momo asked each other at the same time before sharing a small laugh. "Of course, partner."
Despite the friendly banter, the portal in the center shrunk down as the last person walked out of it. This time a light blue-haired guy with sickly pale skin stood among all the villains. But instead of a conventional or cool outfit, he wore all black clothes and fourteen dismembered hands that were grabbing onto different parts of his body.
Looking at him, all Thirteen and Inko saw was a teenager in way over their head, but both of them knew better than to underestimate an opponent. Though the same couldn't be applied to their students who were itching for a real fight.
"Hello, Heroes! We are the league of villains and we're here to kill All-Might!" The teenage villain shouted, making Inko smirk.
Walking down the steps of the entrance, Inko glared at the villain standing above all the others. "Sorry, big guy, but All-Might isn't here to play games with you." She taunted before extending her hand as one of the nameless villains was pulled to her. Grabbing them by the shirt, Inko spun around and threw them at the rest of the villain horde, making a few others fall. "But if you want to get to All-Might, you'll have to go through me."
Intimidating the horde of villains, Inko started to pull a few through the crowd to start the fight, pushing away the others at the same time. Watching the green-haired woman beat up the horde he gathered, the blue-haired teen turned to what remained of the portal. "Kurogiri, get the children. Maybe that'll bring out the end boss."
Complying the mist swirled into its center before disappearing and reappearing between the students and the entrance doors. And hearing the swirling of the portal, everyone turned to see a giant mist-like villain guarding the main entrance and exit.
"Students! Stay with your partners! I'll deal with the villain!" Thirteen shouted as they moved through the small crowd of students and stood in front of the villain.
Staying between the heroes and the entrance, the villain seemed to move their face around, backing it away from Thirteen with a large metal collar following the eyes and staying right below it. "I'd like to see you try, hero." The mist said grimly.
Uncapping their pointer finger, Thirteen started to use their Quirk, sucking in the mist body of the villain slowly. After a few seconds of Thirteen's attempt to stop the villain, the mist expanded and made a more circular shape before another circle of mist appeared behind them. With the new portal behind Thirteen, their Quirk started to work against them as their costume started to rip away and got sucked into the portal before coming out of the other and into Thirteen's finger.
Trying to cap their finger, Thirteen's costume and body started to slowly be tugged at.
'For fuck's sake!'
Jumping toward Thirteen, Katsuki used an explosion to blast them out of the way. Tumbling onto the ground, Katsuki got up while Thirteen writhed in pain on the ground. Glancing at the gravely wounded hero, he scoffed at them before running toward the larger body of mist and slamming an explosion into it, only for his hand to be sucked into a portal and made to slam into his back with an explosion still there.
"You motherfucker!" Katsuki shouted as he got up, albeit slouching as he backed away from the mist. Luckily, his partner, Eijiro Kirishima, grabbed him and helped him stepped back from the villain as they loomed over all the students.
Some of the more sensible ones of them tried to help Thirteen, only to see their body made out of nothing. But really, their body was a black hole that absorbed all light, so you couldn't see the shape of it.
Glancing at the others, Izuku and Momo both turned to each other, both with a plan. "Ladies first."
"We should hold them off and wait for All-Might." Suggested Momo as everyone else was panicking in one form or another.
"UA doesn't know that villains are here. We need someone to get outside and contact them." Suggested Izuku before both of their eyes landed on one pair of partners. "You get those two ready, I'll create a distraction." He whispered to her.
Getting a nod in response, both of them walked slowly to their goal, though the villain seemed to focus more on Izuku. Stopping in front of the portal, Izuku looked at its eyes.
"Child, I don't know if you're brave or stupid right now." The villain said as Izuku grabbed an explosive disk with his right hand and one of his tasers with his other hand, all of it hidden by the cloak he wore.
"Can't it be both?" He asked tauntingly as everyone focused on him.
Immediately, he threw the disk in a random direction as the villain opened another portal to avoid the attack. But while it was distracted, Izuku shot his taser at the metal collar of the villain and started to shock it continuously. Pumping up the voltage, the villain seemed to implode after a few seconds, most likely the bomb went off inside of its body.
Using that distraction, Tsuyu and Tenya went around the villain and out of USJ unnoticed by the villain. But Izuku and some other students did notice it, yet the former continued to shock the villain. Well, until the taser was out of power.
Realizing his attack was ineffective now, Izuku retracted the darts of his taser before regrouping with Momo, both of them scared of what would happen next. "They're out, now all we have to do is survive." He whispered to her, fear clear in his tone.
"Easier said than done." She replied as the effect of the shock seemed to be wearing off and the villain started to regain a more stable form.
"Is that all?" The villain asked with a little spasm from electricity following after it. "Then I believe it is my turn."
Looming over everyone, the villain made a dome around the students and Thirteen, then started to close in around everyone as they started to hold onto their partner or wait for their fate. Looking at Izuku, Momo clasped her hand around his, feeling him hold tightly onto her hand. And once the portal closed in, everyone was gone, and instead, in one of the many sections of USJ.
At the mountain zone, a portal opened up above the mountain and another just at the foot of it. Luckily for Denki and Fumikage, they fell through the portal at the foot of the mountain. Unluckily for Izuku and Momo, they fell through the portal above the mountain.
Once the two partners fell through, both of them saw their impending descent and Izuku instinctively grabbed Momo by the waist to hold her close as she was above him. But once the two hit the mountain, they started to slide down it until Izuku realized he still had a taser in his left hand, so he slammed it into the mountain, slowing their descent until they stopped halfway down.
"H-Hey, are y-you okay?" He asked nervously as he looked down.
"I-I think so," Momo replied, looking down as well.
Thinking of a way to make a calm descent, Momo made a metal spear and struck it into the mountain slightly below their position. Letting go of Izuku, she made another spear and continued sticking them into the mountain until the two were at the base.
But unfortunately, waiting at the base was a mob of villains that cornered them against the mountain. "Sorry kids, but we have a job to do." One of the more muscular villains said as Momo grabbed onto the last spear she stuck into the mountain while Izuku grabbed his other taser.
"Don't be." Both of them said at the same time before attacking the villain trying to intimidate them, incapacitating him. Stepping back, Momo started to spin her spear to ward off the villains while Izuku started to search his utility belt.
Picking out a few select items, he looked at the horde of villains and tried to count their odds of survival. "I got four explosive disks left." He whispered as he put three of them between different fingers on his right hand. "Pina track as many of them as you can." He ordered as his mask sprung to life with information.
"Izu, I can only calculate those with a cellular device on them at the moment. Some may still be uncounted for." Replied Pina as Izuku looked over the small map of USJ's interior and saw a multitude of red dots in front of his location.
"That's more than enough." He whispered before stepping in front of Momo and throwing the three explosive disk and among the mob. All of the disks were ignored as it passed through the legs of the mob before exploding a few seconds later.
With most of the villains in front of them dealt with, Momo and Izuku hurried away from the mountain and went to look around the zone they were in. Defeating a villain or two here and there, the two partners eventually found Fumikage beating up villains with his Dark Shadow while Denki was cowering behind him. Forming a plan almost simultaneously, Momo and Izuku started to take down the villains as well until Dark Shadow almost attacked them.
"Oh, it's you two. Maybe fate will be on our side today." Stated Fumikage as he called back Dark Shadow into his body.
Glancing around, none of them saw any more villains around them or anywhere in the zone for that matter. "We may as well leave this area before more villains group up here." Suggested Momo as Izuku and Fumikage nodded. "Kaminari-san, something wrong?"
Nervously pointing behind her, all of them saw a man looming over them with his sheer muscle mass. "Hehe, you UA kids are really something." He said as he grabbed Izuku by the arm and threw him at Denki. "But you'll have to try harder to get rid of me!"
Accepting the challenge, Fumikage released Dark Shadow as the beast held onto the man's limbs. Using the chance, Momo used the blunt end of her spear and struck the man's temple, knocking him out cold.
"That was quite easy." She commented as Izuku got off of Denki and brushed off some dust. "But again, we should leave."
"Right. Let's go!" Izuku ordered as the four of them ran out of the mountain zone without any encounter from another villain.
Getting out of the mountain zone, the group of four entered the plaza where Inko was still fighting villains, albeit she was slowing down from exhaustion, but she still kept fighting. Avoiding the villains, the group ran toward the entrance where they found everyone else in their class, well almost everyone.
"How'd you all get here so fast?" Denki asked, quite confused.
Looking back, Momo saw the location of each zone. "We were in the farthest zone from the entrance, but to be fair, these villains seemed to have barely any experience with fighting. They must've assumed their numbers would've been enough to take us down for longer than half an hour."
"Wait! That was half an hour?" Denki asked yet again as everyone comically watched the conversation go back and forth.
"Yes. Though about five minutes were spent on us getting back here."
Ignoring their conversation, Izuku stood off to the side and looked over USJ. "Pina, is everyone in our class here?"
"No. The ones that are known as Minoru Mineta and Yuga Aoyoma are still stuck in the Ship Wreck zone while both Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo are fighting in the plaza." She replied, making Izuku grit his teeth.
Turning to his class and partner, Izuku glanced at them before approaching Momo. "Momo, help people here. I'll try to help out in the plaza."
"What?" She asked frantically, but Izuku already ran off toward the plaza. "That idiot."
But back in the plaza, the number of villains was going down exponentially as Shoto froze over half of them while Inko and Katsuki beat as many as they could to a pulp. Jump-kicking the first villain he saw, Izuku cut down a few villains before joining up with Inko and fighting alongside her.
"I never thought I'd see the day when we'd fight alongside each other." Commented Inko as she ax-kicked a villain into another villain.
"Let's enjoy it while we can. I doubt whoever planned this didn't have a contingency plan." Replied Izuku as Katsuki blasted by and beat up the last couple of villains in the plaza.
Grouping together, the four in the plaza looked toward the teenage villain and portal villain who were the last ones left. Each with their own glare or lack thereof.
Growing nervous, the teenager covered in hands turned to the portal. "Argh! Send in Nomu!" He shouted in frustration.
"Are you sure that is wise?"
"Just send it in!"
Expanding once again, the portal let through a hulking behemoth that hardly resembled a man. Its was as muscular as All-Might and had pastel black skin, but only wore a pair of cargo shorts. Though its most grotesque feature was its exposed brain and eyes that seemed to be nearly useless from how they popped out.
But there was on thought both mother and son thought at the exact same time. 'Ah, crap baskets...'
~ The Show Stopper is here! ~
A/N: The next chapter is all planned out, but I do have a very important question for you, who should Izuku fall in love with?
My main candidate was Mei, but someone said she's more like a sister to Izuku and the other main contender was Momo, but she's his hero partner at the moment. Of course, Jiro is another option along with the other girls of UA.
