~ Chapter 28 ~

Y/N was staring at the logs in the fireplace as everyone else started the fire with the help of Shoto's flames and Momo's creation. She was thinking of how to start a fire. She looks around until her eyes set on a certain person she know.

"Yo, Testutetsu!"

Tetsutetsu immediately turned and his face was pink. He pointed at himself to see if she was talking to him. She nodded and told him to come here, saying she need his help with starting the fire. He nodded and headed her way. He kneeled down to her level.

"What do you need help with, Y/N?"

"Can you bring out your hand and turn them into steel?"

Tetsutetsu raised his eyebrow.

"Why?"

"Trust me."

He then did what she told him to and she grabbed it close to the fireplace. Y/N then brought out her hand and her nails turned into big claws before clanging it against the metal repeatedly. Tetsutetsu made a surprised grunt and noticed the sparks coming out towards the logs. Class A and B turned their head at the sound. Finally, fire started out from the logs.

"Wow... I didn't know I can do that!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed, pulling his arm away, turning it back to his normal skin.

"I looked through the internet. Blades against any blades can create spark." she explained.

"That's so cool and manly!!"

Y/N chuckled, knowing that Eijiro had a same 'manly' thing as his.

"Say, we haven't talked for a long time since you saved me from the robots. Wanna hang out?" he said.

"Sure. I actually wanted to talk to you."

"Ahaha! Great! Let's make our curry and we'll have some chat."

"Great. I gotta go and help my friends out."

"See you."

Y/N patted his shoulder before he walked back to his own classmates as Monoma told him to not go near her who's part of Class A, but he simply ignored him. She looked over to her friends as Hanta and Fumikage are standing behind Katsuki.

"Bakugo, use explosions to light this."

"Like I would, scum!"

Katsuki blasted the woods a little too much as it broke the fireplace. Y/N walked over to him.

"You know you could've a least be a little less explosive if you're going to create a fire."

"Like I know that, you idiot!"

"Don't be mad. Just trying to help. Oh, and I already started the fire with the help of Tetsutetsu's Quirk."

"Woah! Really? How?" Hanta asked.

"Simple. With blade against the blade, it created sparks."

"Like in the movie!"

"Exactly."

"That's smart, Y/N." Fumikage said.

"Tch!" Katsuki walked away, shoving his hands into his pockets.

After that, they finally finished making curry as they all shouted.

"Thanks for the food!"

Eijiro and Hanta gulped down the food fastily as Momo had eaten more than before.

"Yao-momo, you eat a lot, huh?" Mina said.

"Yes. My Quirk turns lipids into various atoms to create things, so the more I eat, the more I can make." Momo said.

"It's like poo." Hanta commented, making her depressed.

Kyoka immediately punched him in the cheek.

"Apologize!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Say where's Y/N?" Mina asked.

"Ah! Hanging out with my bro Tetsutetsu!" Eijiro pointed to where Y/N and Tetsutetsu had sat as they were laughing.

"They sure are good buddies." Tsu said.

"I wonder what they're talking about." Kyoka said.

Y/N and Tetsutetsu are talking about their crazy encounter with dinosaurs.

"It was huge! The spike on their tail is like a rock! It headbutted my butt when I tried to run away!"

"Pffft!! Are you serious?"

"I am. It kinda reminds of me of that certain explosion bastard. But that's fine. I heard that you're the Dinosaur Whisperer."

"Nah, I wouldn't say that. I just happen to know how to interact with them."

"Really, huh? I should try and interact with that fella. Wherever they are. It's crazy to see some dinosaurs in this world that were once extinct."

"It's already like Jurassic Park to Jurassic World."

Tetsutetsu held a thoughtful look, taking another bite of the curry.

"Where have I heard that before?"

"So your classmates. Tell me about them." Y/N stated.

He gave a cheerful laugh.

"They're the best. Kendo is a great leader of the class rep. Shiozaki is like a pure goddess. Everyone else was great. I kinda would say the same for Monoma. He wouldn't stop talking of how we will become better than your classmates. It was annoying."

"Tell me about it. My classmates are good and funny. Some were cute like you for example."

"C-Cute?!" he grew flustered from hearing that.

"Yeah! Katsuki can be a little bit of an idiot, but once you get to know him, he's good and can be a softie. Maybe you and him can be friends."

He rolled his eyes, doubt that they'll get along.

"We'll see."

Y/N got up after finishing her curry.

"I gotta go and check on something. It was nice talking to you. I'll see you later."

"Wait!"

"Huh?"

"I...um...uh... I wanted to give you something." he said, taking some out from his pocket and it reveal a silver rose keychain.

"I-It's not that much. But I want you to take this as my gratitude for saving me from those villain robots back then."

Y/N's heart melted in awe and took it.

"Thanks, Tetsutetsu. And funny story. I wanted to give you something, too."

She took out a grey triceratops handmade plush head keychain with some wooden beads.

"Take this as a friendship."

"Wow! You made this?"

"Yep! With my own scratch."

He took it and stare at it, finding it cute and held it in his hand.

"Thanks."

Y/N nodded with a smile and left. She put her plate in the dish as she look around for Kota. But find him nowhere. She decided to find him by tracking down his scent as she took a walk to what appears to be a cave and stopped to see baby Parasaurolophus moving it's head up and down on Kota's side who's clenching his fists in anger.

"Shut up... All of you..."

"Kota?"

Kota jumped and saw her standing there with a frown look.

"Something wrong?"

"Not you again! How did you find me?"

"I tracked your scent. I saw that you are gone and was looking for you."

"Tch! I already told that green haired freak to buzz off." he flashed her with the look of distaste.

"Izuku was here?"

"I couldn't care less about his name. You're just like everyone else who wants to become a hero."

"I'm clearly not like everyone else, Kota."

"Likely story." he rolled his eyes, not believing her. "You're just saying that so you could be on good terms with me."

"And you're being rude and disrespectful. But it's true. Not all heroes are great and perfect. I used to think once that not all heroes should be there to save me. Once they get a good look on you, they realized that you're a monster, and decided to leave you... to rot in the cage..."

Kota went silent after hearing that. Hearing someone abandoned her when she needed help was just cruel.

"Then, why are you becoming a hero after they abandoned you?"

"I was angry and hurt that someone will leave me. That's when I decided to be more stronger alone without anyone's help and don't need no shining armor to protect me. I wanted to become a hero to fight for what's right and protect those who cannot protect themselves. Even the dinosaurs that are roaming around the world right now."

Kota listened while his little friend looked up to Y/N. She kneeled down to his level and gave him a hug.

"I know you hate heroes. But please, don't let it get to you for too long. It's not good to live like this. Even yourself. Like I said, you'll never what future you'll have."

Y/N suddenly heard sniffs and pulled away to see tears streaming down his cheeks.

"A-Are you okay? I didn't mean to make you cry."

"I'm not crying!" Kota quickly whipped them away, but they kept on coming.

The baby dinosaur licked away some tears to cheer him up.

"Really?" she looked at him, knowing he's lying and rubbed his back as he released everything he had been hiding.

After a few minutes of sniffs and hiccups, Kota was now calm.

"You should go to sleep... I'm sure everyone else is."

"Ah, right. See you there, Kota. Nice hat by the way."

Y/N got up and walked away from his secret hideout. Kota stare at her and let out a small smile.

"Thanks..."

What he didn't know behind them is there's a large dent outside of his cave. Meanwhile, a few new members of the League of Villains are coming together as they stood on the mountain where they can see the house the teachers and classmates are staying in. Toga walked over with new gears on her as she fixed her mask.

"I mean, I don't like this. It's not cute."

"This was orchestrated by the designer behind the scenes, right? Appearances don't matter as long as it makes sense." the man with a gask mask said.

"I'm not talking about that. I just don't want to wear this." she whined, moving her arms up and down.

"Hi! Sorry for the wait." the sunglasses man came with big lips and was carrying something tall.

"Work... work..."

A few more came as well as that green reptile with red mask.

"That makes seven." Dabi said.

"I don't care, just let me at 'em. I'm getting too pumped up."

"Shut up, you crazy bastards. Not yet... We'll move when all ten of us are here. Gathering a bunch of punks who are just strong will only increase the risk. It's better to have a small group of experienced elites. First, we make them realize... that their peace is resting in our hands."

Y/N was sleeping with the rest of the girls on the mattress and her ears twitched like she heard something from afar and it's not good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Y/N was combating against Mashirao after getting used to the sound and seeing a laser up to only 65% and is in her dinosaur form in order to get used to it without letting a tiredness take over as she whacked him off with her tail against his. With a sudden force, he was pushed back. He quickly regained his balance and charged her again. She ran towards him and headbutted him through his belly, making him fly off and fell to the ground. Mashirao slowly got up and charged her once again with kicks and punches as she dodged every move. She went back at him by trying to claw him and snapping her jaws to bite him as he dodged them with some sleeves being ripped.

Y/N was getting tired, but she kept on fighting back as she got hit in the face by his tail, making her snap out of it.

"Don't lose focus. All of you, move faster! No matter what you're doing, you should always be aware of where you came from. That's what it means to improve." Aizawa said, looking at his students. "Always keep in mind why you're sweating, and why you keep getting nagged."

"Where I came from..." Y/N gave it a thought, dodging Mashirao's tail.

"Neko neko!" Pixie-Bob giggled. "More importantly, everyone, tonight... we'll have a test of courage with the classes pittied against each other! After training hard, you can play hard! The carrot and the stick!"

"Great..." Indoraptor Y/N panted with her tongue sticking out along with Mashirao as they catch their breath.

"So, do your best right now!" Pixie-Bob exclaimed.

"Yessir!"

"Yessir..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Katsuki started cutting the carrots in the fast move with a help of Y/N in her usual casual outfit who's using her claws to cut them.

"Bakugo, you're really good at using a knife! It's unexpected..." Ochaco exclaimed.

"What do you mean, unexpected? How can you be bad at using a knife?!" Katsuki glare at her.

"They just assumed that you're always angry and never like to do anything besides doing some kill time.... Pfft!!" Y/N snickered, putting the cutted carrots inside the bowl.

"Hah?!"

"There he is. We haven't seen the capable version of him in a while." Denki added, walking behind them.

"Everyone's too energetic..." Eijiro mumbled.

"Aren't you energetic too, Eijiro? You're always energetic when it comes to challenge." Y/N said, making him tense and realized that she's right. "Plus, you do know I can hear you, right?"

"Yes... sorry."

"Finished." she said and walked away.

"Finished already?!" Katsuki said, gaping at a lot of carrots she cut.

Y/N just gave him a shrug and found Izuku and Shoto talking about Kota.

"I don't know what you want to do with him, but I don't think you should keep poking your nose in a delicate situation. You have no qualms about breaking through that kind of stuff, even though you don't seem like the type." Shoto said.

"He's right." she said, making the boys turn to her.

"Y/N."

"It's best if you leave him alone for him to cool off and think about it. I had a talk with Kota last night."

"You did? What did he say?" Izuku asked.

"Just gave him advice and got to make him feel better. He's taking time. So I suggest you to not push him any further or there will be consequences. Just like how that happen to me one time, huh, Shoto?" Y/N said, eyeing Shoto who glanced away.

"Right."

"Yeah... Sorry about that, you guys..." Izuku sweatdropped, looking down.

"You guys! Your hands have stopped moving!" Tenya shouted, cutting the skin off of the potatoes speedily. "We're going to make the best meat and potato stew!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After their delicious meal, it was now night time.

"Now, we've filled our bellies and washed the dishes!" Pixie-Bob said with a smile on her face. "Next..."

"...it's time for the test of courage!" Mina jumped in excitement.

"We're gonna test it!" Eijiro, Denki, Hanta, and Rikido exclaimed just as excited as Mina.

"Before that, it pains me to say this, but the extra lesson group will be having class with me now." Aizawa stated, making them freeze.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Mina's eyes widen.

"Sorry." he said, already had his scarf wrap around five of them. "Your training during the day wasn't good enough, so I have to use this time."

"Give me a break!"

"Let us be tested!"

Y/N sighed in disappointment that they won't be having fun with them as she petted the Allosaurus on the snout.

"Okay, so Class B will be the first to be the scarers. Class A will leave in pairs every three minutes. There are taas with your names written on them in the middle of the route, so bring those back with you." Pixie-Bob explained.

"Revelry in the dark..." Fumikage mumbled.

"You okay, Fumikage? You've been repeating that ever since your training." Y/N said, looking at him.

"I'm fine... Just...tired I guess."

"Okay... Just be careful with yourself, okay?"

Fumikage looked at her and nodded.

"Those being the scarers aren't allowed to make direct contact. Show us how scary you are with your Quirks."

"The class that makes the most people piss their pants with creativity and imagination wins!" Tiger exclaimed, pointing at the class.

"Stop it. That's filthy." Kyoka commented.

"I see! They're trying to make us refine our ideas by making us compete with each other, giving us more options for our Quirks in the process!" Tenya voiced out. "As expected of U.A.!"

"Now, you'll draw lots to determine your partners!" Pixie-Bob exclaimed, holding out the pieces of paper in hand.

Y/N looked at the piece of paper with a number 8 on it and sees Izuku the last person to team up with.

"Hey, Izuku! Looks like we're partners." she said, slinging her arm around his shoulder.

"Y-Yeah! I'm glad." he said and flinched when a hand grabbed his shoulder roughly.

"Hey, Deku! Switch with me!" Katsuki pointed at Shoto behind him who just blankly stare at him.

Izuku shook his head no, making him growl.

"If he said no, then sorry, Katsuki. You're gonna have to get along with Shoto. Whether you like it or not." she said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12 minutes later, Y/N and Izuku waited for their turn as scream was heard in the forest.

"They're really good. They never hold back." Y/N stated when she suddenly smelled something.

She started sniffing along with Pixie-Bob.

"What's this burnt smell...?"

"Something's not right."

"That's..." Izuku trails off.

They looked to see blue light and black smoke in the distance of the forest. Allosaurus backed away in fear, staying close to Y/N. She gave a low growl as she smelled some rather familiar scent like she had met someone before.

"Is something burning?"

"Could there be a fire on the mountain?!"

"W-What is this?!"

Everyone including Allosaurus look behind them to see Pixie-Bob being pulled away from them in a glowy pink light. Y/N's eye narrow at the two villains as Allosaurus snarled his teeth with a growl, stomping his foot down to intimidate them.

"T-The dinosaur?! It's huge!"

"Looks like it's on the heroes side now... This is not good." the villain said, holding Pixie-Bob's head down with his weapon. "But those pet cats are in the way."

"Wh-Why...?" Mineta backs away. "I thought they made doubly sure... Why are there villains here?!"

"Pixie-Bob!" Izuku exclaimed, going after her.

Tiger and Mandalay stood in front of him to stop him from going any closer. Y/N looked around as Allosaurus stood beside Tiger and Mandalay, kicking some dirt away, ready to fight. She searched and searched until her eyes widen in realization.

"Izuku! It's Kota!" she turned to him who's thinking the same thing.

"How are you this evening, U.A. High School? We are the Vanguard Action Squad of the League of Villains!" the green scaled man greeted.

Allosaurus gave him a growl again, making him flinch.

"The League of Villains?!" Mashirao exclaimed. "Why are they here...?"

"Shall I crush this girl's head? What d'you think? Well, what do you think?"

"Like I'd let you, you--" Tiger started.

"Wait up, Big Sis Mag! Don't be hasty. You too, Tiger. Calm down. It all depends on whether having power over life and death follows Stain's tenets or not."

"Stain...!"

"So you're the ones his ideology brought?" Tenya said.

"That's right! I'm-- Oh yeah, you, with the glasses! You were the one who brought about the end of Stain at Hosu City. I apologize for the late introduction."

Big long sword filled with lots of blades was brought out as they were surprisingly held together.

"I'm Spinner, the ones who will spin his dreams into reality!"

"I don't care, but you bastards... The woman lying there, Pixie-Bob, has started worrying about getting married recently. She was doing her best to find happiness as a woman despite her age. You can't damage that woman's face and then just stand there laughing thoughtlessly about it!" Tiger declared, bringing his claws out.

"What's a hero doing trying to be happy like the average person?!" Spinner smirked, charging them.

"Tiger! I've broadcast instructions. Leave the safety of the other students to Ragdoll. The two of us and the big beast will hold them back here!" Mandalay turned to the students. "Go, everyone! Listen carefully. Do not fight. Class rep, you're in charge!"

"Understood! Let's go!" Tenya nodded.

Izuku and Y/N though didn't move as they're starting to worry about Kota. Tenya stopped to see them not moving and called out to them.

"Midoriya! Y/N!"

"Go on ahead! Mandalay!" Izuku said.

"We know where Kota is! Leave it to us!" Y/N said.

Mandalay nodded and they both ran off to Kota's secret hideout. Once they made it, she smelled another unfamiliar scent and found Kota and baby Parasaurolophus backing away in fear as the tall cloaked villain was raising his fist.

"Papa...! Mama...!" he whimpered, holding his dinosaur friend close.

Y/N transformed into the Indoraptor and swiftly grabbed Kota by the back of his collar with her teeth as Kota held his little friend tight. She moved away quickly from the villain as Izuku threw a punch at the villain.

"Why...?" Kota asked.

Y/N set them down gently and turn to the villain as she let out a growl, going onto her pouncing stance.

"Hm? You two were on the list." the villain smiled sadistically.

This is not good...
