________________________________________________________________________________
Crona shifts as they wait for the bus with Momo, Hagakure, and Tokoyami. They kept looking at Hagakure making sure she was ok. After the 'break-in,' they got nervous. Mostly because they never had to deal with panic in a school and Hagakure being tramped. They thought they were being sneaky at this but then Hagakure spoke up.
"Is everything ok Stein? You have been looking at me for a while now." Hagakure asks them.
Crona jumps, "I-I'm sorry! I d-didn't mean to" They try to gather up the words before opening their mouth, "I-I was just-"
"Worried?" Crona stops at Hagakure's blunt answer. The words were getting harder to find...
"W-what d-do you m-"
"I saw you and others looking at me." She told them. Crona looks down as she catches them in the act. When they look at Momo and Tokoyami who look downcast too, "Look I'm not mad that you guys are looking after me. I'm a bit flattered that you are looking out for me but," She held up one finger, "I can hold myself and Recovery Girl gives the OK going. So please have some faith in me." Crona blushed a bit.
"Forgive us Hagakure. We are just worried," Momo explains to her first-up "Yesterday was just...awful so we were worried about it." Crona flitches at that memory.
"Yesterday was just a rough start but hopefully now we can show our skills," Tokoyami told them as the bus pulled up. Crona glared up at the bus. They hope nothing else bad will happen. The rest of the class got on to the bus but before Crona could Momo turned to Crona.
"Are you ready?" She asks them
"As I can be." Crona nods as they and Momo get on the bus.
Crona sits in the back of the bus with Momo. Across from them were Tokoyami and Hagakure who were talking the poor boy's ear off. The other students were talking to each other in their group which got Iida slumping against his sent.
"The bus's open layout ruined my boarding strategy," He sulks.
"Iida needs to loosen up," Mina said, giving him a pat on his back.
"Well if all pointing to the obvious," Asui interjects. Asui is a short girl and her appearance is rather frog-like, "About you Midoriya. Your quirk is similar to All Might"
Izuku's eyes shot open and he moved back a little, "M-me? What do you mean Asui?" This
Crona's full attention. Now that they think about it...it was similar.
"Huh? Really? What makes you think so?" He asks her and he turns away nervously.
"Wait for a second," Kirishima spoke up, "You're forgetting that All Might doesn't hurt himself like Midoriya, Asui." He points out. Crona watch as Midoriya sighs relief at that.
"Call me Tsu," She corrects him
'He kind of acting like you when you were spying on DWMA,' Ragnarok states in Crona's head. They nod in agreement. They happen to glance around and see Shoto looking at them.
'What with him?'
Shoto wasn't paying any attention to gossip going around him from the other students. It was all pointless in the long run. But he couldn't help but listen to two gossip involving two certain students. Stein and Midoriya.
The former was because of their behavior. He knows a panic attack when he sees it. Well heard at least about it from students. Mina fills him in on what happens after he is knocked out. Crona's panicking attack and them visiting him in the nurse's office when he was out of it. It kind of reminds him of his panic attacks when he was young-
No.
Stop thinking about it. His past is long gone.
Later was Midoriya, whose quirk reminds him of All Might a bit. It's similar but he hasn't gotten used to it yet. Midoriya said he was a late bloomer, and that there were similar cases of quirks coming in late into teens, to even adults' lives. Plus, All Might seem more into Midoriya's fight than any of the others. Then there was Midoriya's costume and All Might's reaction towards it.
Shoto looks between the two and then narrows his eyes.
He needs to get to the bottom of this.
"Look alive people, we are here!" Aizawa started as the bus came to a stop. Crona and Momo gather up all their stuff and head out. They line up with other students with Hagakure and Tokoyami. Crona glared up at the giant dome, squinting because sunshine reflected off of the windows.
"So this is where the rescue class is going to take place?" Hagakure asks, eyeing the building.
"That's what Aizawa-Sensei said," Tokoyami answers her. Crona turns to them.
"What do you think it's in there? You think it's like the city in the mock battle?" Crona questions them.
"Could be but I don't think it is the same thing." Momo pointed out. "Disasters can happen everywhere, so they might use a different environment."
"Look alive everyone! The training is about to begin." Crona gulped as they went in with the others. Inside there were steep mountains, burning buildings, thick forest, and a pool of water that had boast sinking into it. Crona's eyes widen. How did they get all these things here?!
"Amazing!"
"This is U.S.J or something!?"
The student gawks and points as well as Crona. It makes Crona feel like they weren't alone in this.
"Welcome!" A person with a spacesuit greets them as they walk in. Their costume appears to be a puffy jacket instead of an actual suit, a black helmet with white eyes, and a pair of yellow boots.
"This is a practical training area I created," The teacher said, "To simulate all kinds of accidents and disasters." Uraraka and Izuku squeal when they spot the teacher.
"It's the Space Hero, Thirteen!"
"The recuse hero!"
Hagakure turns to Momo, "You think they going to make us partner up again?" She asks her.
"Might be. In any case, I don't mind getting paired up with Stein, again." Momo answers her. Crona turns to her in surprise.
"R-really?" Crona squeals out. Didn't think she liked to pair up with them after their breakdown...
"We will work well together like last time and don't worry, this time I will be useful," She explains to them. In Which Crona looks confused. What did she mean by that she was very useful-
Crona stopped their train of thought when Thirteen called out to them.
"All right let's move in kids!"
Shoto will admit out loud all the things that brought him to a standstill were communism. As much as the old man taught him about fighting he didn't teach him how to socialize and he admits he didn't see it as important enough to learn so on his own either. And now it's kind of biting him in the ass because he doesn't know how to ask Crona to talk to him privately. They always hang out with their friends and trying to ask them while they're with them for a private convention seems so hard because of how shy Crona is. All in all, it was frustrating.
Currently, Crona and their group are staring at the stadium in awe. The interior was divided into six different sections; each one unique. A giant dome with fire artwork.
"Okay first I need to go over some points... one... two... maybe four? Five?" The entire class seemed to roll their eyes before the Thirteen held out her hand, starting with their first point. "As some of you know, my Quirk is called Black Hole... and it can suck in anything and turn it into dust."
"That perfect quirk to remove wreckages and save people from disasters!" Izuku gleefully pointed out while Uraraka nodded in agreement. Crona frowned because they thought that it was better to kill but keep their mouth shut. Ragnarok didn't.
"Sounds like a good way to kill people too!" Crona tries to silence Ragnarok but the damage is already done. Everyone looks at them like they grew another head. Thirteen got over their shock and nodded.
"It is true," Thirteen spoke slowly, "My quirk can easily kill people too. And that's no difference between that and the rest of the world." Crona looks away. They know too well that fact...
"Naturally, in this society of superheroes, quirks are strictly regulated, and requirements for their lawful use enforced. We can tell at a glance that make-up is this world. That being said, don't forget that each of you possesses that can go awry. One wrong step can get someone to kill" Crona gulps and looks at Shoto. Shoto glares back at them and Crona looks away. They didn't pay attention Thirteen was saying after the guilt started to set in.
"Stein?" Crona turns to Momo who looks at them in concern, "Are you alright?" Crona sighs a bit before answering.
"It's just," Crona took a glance at Shoto who was now paying attention to Thirteen before continuing, "I think Todoroki is still mad about knocking him out."
"It's not that surprising," Tokoyami chimes in, "He's is the number two hero's son." Crona's eyes widen at that.
"Wait really?!" Hagakure exclaims in surprise and catches other people's attention.
"Hagakure," Awaiza said in a tight tone of voice, "Is there something you like to share with us?"
Hagakure quickly straightens herself up, "No sir." She squeaks out. Awaiza rolls his eyes before turning to Thirteen.
"Should we get started?" Awaiza asks Thirteen.
"Yes!" Thirteen clap their hands together, "All right then Class. First off-"
Right then lights went off and Crona tensed up. Something was off...
Aizawa pauses and turns around as Crona forward moves to the plaza. They sense a soul...no. A couple of them....
Down in the central plaza of the USJ by the fountain was a black vortex, spinning and growing. A hand appeared and from it, gripping the portal...
"What is that?" Eijirou asks in confusion, "I thought this was a rescue exercise?" He took a step closer but Aizawa stopped him.
"Stay together now and don't move!" Aizawa barks and Eijirou flitches, "Thirteen! Protect the students!"
Crona's eyes locked below and narrowed his eyes. Ragnarok hissed and melted back into their body then formed into his sword form as he appeared in Crona's palms.
"Stein," Tokoyami places his hand on Crona's shoulder, "I think we should listen to the teachers. Even if your skill with the sword is an impression we are not ready to fight the villains yet." Crona looked down at the villains and thought about what Tokoyami saying.
"Y-you're right to let's go," The black blood sank back into their skin. Then they turn to leave with the students. Izuku tries to go back however but Aizawa orders him back. He glances back before catching up with the others.
The USJ entrance was long but the distance between them and the villain was even greater and Aizawa was holding them back. They were going to make it! But as the group was a couple of feet away a black portal showed up between them and exited.
"There is no escape," The mass spoke and Crona felt a chill down their spine, "But where are my matters? Allow me to introduce ourselves. We are the League of Villains. My apologies for inviting ourselves to your little gathering unannounced."
"Yeah right, you asshole! You just here to fight and kill us!" Ragnarok pops out from Crona's back. Crona can see yellow eyes narrowed at Ragnarok.
"We are not here for you. We are here because this is the perfect place for All Might's grave." Crona looked up at them in shock, "The schedule said that he was supposed to be here, but there's no sign of him. No matter I still have a role to play."
'They after All Might?' Crona remembers how strong All Might supposal is and reads how he keeps the peace, 'It seems impossible to kill but...' Crona's thoughts trail off as feels a strange soul in the black masses and one behind them in the group but can't pinpoint why that is...
Crona heard a click. Thirteen got in front of them and raised their hand but stopped when Bakugo and Kirishima darted forward like a madman. Bakugo lets out a battle cry as he sends an explosion at the black mass, while Kirishima slashes at it. Crona covers their eyes and waits for the dust to clear up.
"Did you think we were just gonna stand around and let you tear up the place?" Kirishima said his voice filled with confidence he wished them to feel. But as the smoke cleared, even that faded away. The black mass was fine, save for a clear view of the metal brace on his neck. Crona's narrow and quick as the bullet they ran at mass with a sword in hand.
"Guys!" Bakugo's and Kirishima's heads snap up, "Attack the brace! It's where his body is!" Bakugo's eyes blink in surprise but grins.
"Out of the way Pinkie!" Bakugo shouted.
"Hold him still Stein!" Kirishima told them.
"Ah, as expected of your school," The mass said, and dread started sweeping in Crona's mind. Before they could warn the others, living miasma explodes, sending storm darkness and covering everyone. They heard a scream and saw Momo standing close to Jirou.
"Momo!" Crona rushes forward to them but bumps into Izuku.
"Oof!" Izuku grumbles and Crona tries to help him up.
"I believe it would be best to let you meet my comrades, and your demise... now..." Darkness explores all around them and once it was clear the students that were caught in it were gone.
