The students were currently at the mall to buy stuff for the upcoming forest training camp.
"Let us get what we need in good time. And be on your best behavior" Iida reminded before zooming off. Izuku, Bakugo and Shoto stood dumbfounded at how quickly the others vanished.
"Hey Shoto, this is a good chance to get closer to Yaoyorozou" Izuku whispered.
"It is?"
"You're forgetting I'm here" Bakugo reminded. Shoto looked down embarrassed.
"I won't tell anyone. I'm not a snitch, see you two later. I'm going to the arcade" Bakugo said walking away.
"I'll be right there!" Izuku shouted.
They walked around not really needing anything to buy, but they did get some stuff - just in case.
They were in the common area of the mall where they saw Momo at a table - piled with tons of stuff. They both winced at the amount of stuff she bought.
"Hey Yaoyorozou, where are the others?" Izuku asked as he and Shoto walked up to her.
"Well they're still inside. I'm waiting out here for them" she said smiling.
"Isn't this a bit much" Shoto asked pointing at the mountain of stuff.
"Well it's because I don't really get the chance to go shopping with friends soidecidedmaybeiwouldbuyafewextrastuffandkeepittoremeberthisday-"
'Okay' both boys thought simultaneously.
"It's fine, we were just thinking this was all for you" Izuku said after she stopped her rant.
"No they aren't!" she said a little too quickly.
'Right...' they thought again.
Seeing as they were alone Izuku decided he'd throw his brother a bone.
"Oh yeah I'm going to the arcade. Bakugo's probably gonna blow up the place if someone's not there to watch him. Byeee!".
Shoto and Momo looked at each other and then down at the table. This was awkward.
"So ... did you buy anything?" Momo asked trying to start up a conversation.
"Well actually we did buy some underwear" Shoto responded.
'AHHHHH!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME??!! WHY DID I TALK ABOUT UNDERWEAR!!!'. Momo giggled at his reply.
"I'm sorry, that must've been awkward to hear" he said sighing.
"Maybe, but you're always so forward that's it's expected you'd say something like that" she replied.
"Oh ... either way, I don't really know how to talk to people like my brother does y'know. I just wish I was more like him"
"You aren't your brother, you're twins yes but you're still two different people. Besides I like you the way you are, we all do" she said warmly.
Shoto smiled back at her.
"Thank you Yaoyorozou, really".
"Umm Todoroki ... well I was wonderin-"
"You can call me Shoto. It gets awkward when my brother answers to that as well" he said with a small laugh.
"Oh ... I see ... so if you don't mind, can I get your contact info?" she asked with a small blush. Shoto had a small streak of red dust his features.
"Uh sure" he said handing her his phone.
Behind the wall Izuku and Bakugo were watching with smirks.
"I'm so proud of you Shoto!" Izuku said dramatically. Shoto felt a chill run down his spine.
"Is something wrong?" Momo asked.
"No don't worry, it's nothing" he said looking at the wall.

The students chattered excitedly on the bus about how fun their training camp was going to be. They had gotten quite a scare when Aizawa said those who failed the final exams wouldn't get to go, but as with most of Aizawa's threats it turned out to be a logical rouse. "I just wanna get off this bus" Izuku said sickly. He had a bad case of motion sickness, and the rocking of the bus, the smell of gasoline, it was getting to him.
"Here, have some water" Shoto said giving him a water bottle. Their Mom already foresaw this and gave them the necessary things so Izuku wouldn't make a mess in the bus.
"I hate cars" he whined. Shoto rolled his eyes and patted him on the head.
The girls were drooling at this moment between them.
"They're so precious!!" Mina exclaimed. The bus came to a halt eventually - much to Izuku's relief.
Without any further prompting he was the first outside, finally taking in some fresh air, then stopped to look at the forest that greeted him.
"Where's the training camp?" he asked suspiciously. The others had also began to look around.
"The camp's about three miles away from here if you head straight. It should take about 3 hours to get there" he said with a sinister smirk.
The Wild Wild Pussycats who were there with them agreed.
"The bus!" Sero yelled but it was too late. One of them slammed her hands down on the ground and the cliffside collapsed taking them with it.
"HAVE FUN!!! AND WATCH OUT FOR THE MONSTERS!!".
The students reached the bottom and looked up seeing nothing but rubble.
"What the hell?!" Bakugo yelled.
"Uh ... guys? We're not alone" Mineta whispered. Out of the trees huge mud creatures emerged.
"This is such a drag" Izuku sighed getting ready.
About an hour and half later the students finally entered the clearing surprising their teachers. Aizawa thought about it and just sighed. He honestly shouldn't have expected less from his class - especially with Bakugo and the Todorokis. They were greeted to dinner, but were told that they'd make their own from the next day onwards.
"Head to the bathhouses and wash up, then head straight to bed. Tomorrow we have alot to work on" Aizawa said dismissing his class.

Training was as intense as it could get for 1a and 1b. From dawn till dusk they trained and trained and trained. It was hell, but it was necessary. Over the week they had improved impressively on each of their quirks, not to an insane level but one that was definitely remarkable. They did have about an hour or two of rest so they could relax, and those who failed the finals had remedial classes to contend with. It was one of those nights when Izuku was about to leave for the bathhouse after a long day of training, the others were out playing a test of courage game but he opted not to, then he noticed some strange purple gas seeping into the clearing.
"There shouldn't be anyone using their quirks outside by now ... and come to think of it, I don't know of anyone with a quirk like this". He turned and ran towards the building where the teachers were holding the remedial classes.
"Aizawa-sensei! I think we're not alone in the forest". Aizawa turned to him surprised - and a bit annoyed at how he just barged in.
"Are you sure if what you're saying?" he asked firmly.
"Unless any of you have a gas quirk then I'm positive" Izuku replied.
"You all stay here. Izuku,check up on the others" Aizawa said running out with the other Pussycats. Outside the gas was thickening and spreading quickly.
Mandalay relayed the information to the students telling them they were under attack - though they probably already figured it out by now.
"Wait! Izuku! Kota is missing!". Izuku turned to her.
"The kid that punched me in the nuts?".
"Yes. Please make sure he's okay, he always goes to the mountain ledge at night" she explained. Izuku nodded and ran in that direction.
"You can use your quirk if necessary!" Aizawa shouted. Izuku suddenly burst into flames and flew into the forest.

Kota was scared shitless by the hulking figure towering over him.
"You're all alone! Makes my work alot easier!" Muscular cackled. He turned around feeling a wave of heat fast approaching and dodged a huge lava fist that crashed into where he was just standing. "Oh my lucky day! You're the one the boss wants dead!" he snarled. Izuku looked to Kota with a serious expression.
"Get away from here kid! Things are about to get ugly". Kota was still to scared to move. "What's wrong?" Izuku asked.
"H-he k-killed them ... He killed my parents!" the boy said bursting into tears. Muscular made another move bulking up and rushing at Izuku.
"Don't let your guard down around me!". Their fists collided but Muscular pulled back in pain. Izuku's fist was covered with lava and it burned off his muscle fibers.
"You should run while you have the chance" Izuku said with a grin.
"Like hell I will! I'll just have to make so much muscle it'll be impossible to burn through!!" Muscular screamed as his body grew larger and larger, until he was about 5 times his original size. "NOW DIE!!!".
The flames around Izuku condensed into one massive sparking ball of energy in his arm and he ran at Muscular and launched the attack at him. Muscular, his muscles and everything around the mountain side was completely blown off to kingdom come. Izuku stood there in shock, at the amount of damage that he did with that move. Muscular was only but a charred remnant if himself, he wasn't conscious - how he survived at all was the bigger mystery (plot). Kota came out of his hiding place looking at the blackened crust of the villain that attacked them.
"Y-y-you beat him" he said with shock.
"Yeah ... I'm sorry for what he did to you" Izuku said looking down.
"Anyways your aunt's worried so let's get going"
"Y-yeah" Kota replied following him.
They got to the teachers slower than usual because Izuku couldn't carry Kota as he was physically too hot to do so, so they had to walk all the way. By then all hell had broken loose. The students were given the all clear to use their quirks to defend themselves.
Some of the minor villains had already been taken care of, but the others proved more difficult.
"Kota! You're okay" Mandalay said running to him.
"Izuku, we've given the students permission to defend themselves. Help out as much as you can, and be careful" Aizawa ordered. Izuku nodded and flew up to get a better view of the situation. In the distance he saw Shoto, Bakugo, Tokoyami and Shoji running towards the clearing.
"What's the situation?" he asked landing next to them.
"Where the hell were you?!" Bakugo growled.
"I ran an errand. Anyways where are the others?".
"We don't know, were just moving and hoping we run into the other" Shoto replied.
"Watch out!" Shoji yelled as a masked man was about to touch Tokoyami.
Izuku and Shoto simultaneously blasted flames at him burning his arm badly. Mr Compress winced in pain and jumped into a tree.
"Quite the quirks you have there, I'm here for those two on orders of Shigaraki" he said with a bow.
"Well you can tell that creep that he's not getting his crusty hands on anyone!" Bakugo yelled launching an explosion at him. Mr Compress jumped out of the way into the path of dark shadow who slammed him into the ground. Shoto then used ice to try trapping him but he touched it and it disappeared.
"So that's how his quirk works. Don't let him touch you!" Shoji warned.
Mr Compress was in a tricky situation indeed. The heat coming off the white haired kid was making him dizzy, he couldn't afford to get caught here.
"I suppose we'll meet another time. Cheerio!" he said throwing a marble at them, but they were forced to jump back as the former ice attack Shoto had initially sent exploded back at them.
"Shoji, is he gone?" Tokoyami asked.
"Yeah, I don't see or hear anyone around us anymore".
"Let's regroup with the others. I just hope they're okay" Izuku said seriously.
