-Flashback-

Jack:....

Jack did it...

He made to U.A...

His lifetime dream to be one of the bestest heroes here.

He may have been scared to applied back then believing he might fail to get in...but he's gonna try his best.

Jack: Here goes...

Before he could make the first step towards the building. He heard a voice called out to him.

???: Anderman? Anderman! Is that you!

Jack turned his head to see a girl with brown hair that had blue dye in it that matches her eyes.

Jack: Luna?

Luna: OMG! It is you! I haven't seen you since elementary school.

Jack: Yeah! It's hard to believe that you easily recognized me!

Luna: Well...Back then...you were that quiet kid that sit in the back. I'm surprised that you entering U.A! Like me! Did you managed to get your quirk?

Jack: Yeah...

Luna: What is it?

Jack: My quirk...allow me to create music...usually from my mouth or my headphones. So you want to be a hero too?

Luna: Yep! Why do you want to be a hero for?

Jack: I...want to inspired people...
through the gift of music...

Luna: Hm?

Jack: Back then...I didn't think I would have a goal because I was quirkless...I always believed that I would be a nobody...the other kids back at school avoided me by treating me like thw plague and I was insecure for that. But no more...now that I got my quirk. I want to be my own person in this society. Not something that would make me become boring. Not some job, not some career. Something...that inspires people...something they could look too...and U.A is the perfect place to be here.

Luna stared agape with her mouth opened. Hard to believe the shy kid she knew back in elementary school become this guy.

Luna: I'm impressed~! Though I can't compare to that. The reason why I'm here is because I want to help people... that's all I got...

Jack: It's an admirable. I don't see what's wrong with it.

Luna: Thanks~!

???: Anderman? Rose?

Both of them turned their heads to be greeted by a tall guy with brown hair and slight tan skin.

Luna: No way! Samuel~~~!

Luna ran over to give him a big hug.

Jack, Luna, and Samuel all knew each other from primary school. Despite not growing up together. They couldn't forget a familiar face.

Jack: It's great to see you again, Big Guy!

Luna: Yeah! You gotten taller the last time we saw you!

Samuel: Yeah...I guess so...I'm kind of nervous being here...

Jack: Why do you came to U.A?

Samuel: *Mumbles*....To be a big brother...

Luna: Huh?

Samuel: I-I mean to help save people who need a hero!

Luna: Sweet! So do I! Isn't this great Jack! The three of us attending U.A. I hope we can all be in the same class!

Jack: Yeah~~! So let's do it guys! Whatever this facility throw at us! We'll face it together!

Luna: Yes!

Samuel nodded.

Jack: Yep because...🎶Everyone (I) need a hero~~~!🎶

-End Flashback-

Jack had managed to knock down the two villains after using his finishing move...

Jack: *Pant*...*Pant*...(Damn...I used too much of my quirk...at this rate...I'll pass out from quirk exhaustion...)

Fatgum: Music Zest! Are you alright?!

Jack: Y-Yeah...Barely...Still Standing though...

Fat Gum nodded before immediately checks on Kirishima who was barely conscious...

Fatgum: Red Riot! Red Riot! Can you hear me?!

Kirishima: Wh...?

Fatgum: Red!

Kirishima: Who are you?

Fatgum: It's Me, Fat!

Jack sweat dropped remembering that Fatgum looked different now. He had a more muscular build than his original appearance so of course, Kirishima wouldn't recognize him.

Kirishima: I...I...Fat...I'll protect you...and Jack...I'll...do...whatever I can...

Jack: (Kirishima...You're still trying to act tough? Even after the blows you received from all that...? You're so tough...)

Jack couldn't believe seeing how far Kirishima would go just to be a hero. A part of seeing that resolve reminded him of how he was back then...a world without music...a colorless grey world...a world where heroes can't save you from yourself...

People losing hope in heroes...

Jack never believed in heroes until he decided to become one himself...through the gift of music.

Once Jack had discovered that many artists create music sing songs about heroes.

It made him feel powerful that the gift of music can be his inspiration.

He no longer felt weak or vunerable by the past. But Kirishima....on the other hand...

Fatgum: Red...

Fat Gum remembers the first time he met Eijiro which was at his Hero Office where Eijiro told him that he wants to be a Hero at the front lines and save peoples lives like Crimson Riot. Fat Gum is surprised at Eijiro's determination. Seeing Kirishima like this moved him to tears...

Fatgum: Kirishima...You tried so hard and you ended up like this...You done enough...both you and Music Zest...

Jack:....

Fatgum: You both are admirably strong...no matter what anybody says...you both fought so hard...I'm proud of the both of you.

Jack gasped and felt tears fall from his eyes.

Jack: Fatgum...

???: Not Yet!

Jack: ?!

Rappa: Hahahahahaha! Not Yet!

Jack: What the-?!

Fatgum: Shit! (He's too tough!)

Rappa: I'M NOT DEAD YET!!!

Surprisingly, Rappa managed to survive Fat Gum powerful punch and is standing. Fat Gum and Jack are shocked by this and are unable to do anything now...due to Jack's quirk exhaustion and Fatgum using up all his Quirk's fat.

Jack: (H-How can someone be that strong?! is this really it...? Are we going to die...?)

Rappa: Hey Kid...

Jack: E-Eh?

Rappa: We can at least get first aid in the back room...

Jack:.......•_• Eh?

In a twist of events, Rappa tells Jack and Fat Gum that there are first aid supplies in a nearby room and tells him to treat Eijiro's wounds while referring him to as a man.

Both Jack and Fat Gum doesn't believe Rappa, only for Rappa to convince Fat Gum that he isn't the lying type.

Tengai, who is also still conscious but badly injured and unable to move, criticizes Rappa for his selfishness since it is his duty to put him in line and questions Rappa about his own duty.

Tengai: WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RAPPA?! FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS! WHAT'S YOUR DU-?!

*KICK*

Jack/Fatgum: O_O.....

However, Rappa knocks out Tengai with a kick to the face who notes that he doesn't have any strength left to make barriers while commenting about his own injuries, being unable to lift up his arms due to his bones being broken.

Jack: Whoa....

Rappa: You're strong kid...Very Strong...

Fat Gum then asks about Rappa's goal, to which Rappa reveals that he came from an underground fight club where he could go all out but all his opponents were unable to take his strength and he beat them easily, causing him to crave life-threatening battles.

Rappa is very happy that Fat Gum, Jack, and Eijiro quenched his thirst and gave him such a life-threatening battle.

Because they satisfied him, Rappa has taken a personal interest in Eijiro and Jack which is why he is helping them out.

Rappa: Use the first aid supplies so that next time I can battle you all again with your lives on the line.

Jack: *Gulp*....

Fat Gum warns Rappa that he will be arrested, but Rappa refutes Fat Gum's claims. Fat Gum ponders about Rappa and sees that he doesn't have any ulterior motives.

Fat Gum looks at Kirishima and then at Jack. He knows for a fact that Kirishima is no longer the pathetic boy he claimed and Jack is no longer shouldered by the past for his mistakes. They are to be more than just heroes but true men acknowledged even by an enemy.

Fatgum: (It's still surprising that...)

Rappa had admired Jack and Kirishima's determiantion...
