I'm skipping over the part where a class captain is selected. I simply don't have the interest, nor do I feel it would be much different at all. Honestly, the feeling that I have to add something to it was part of what drove me away from writing anything for this story in so long. Maybe one day I'll add it.

When don't I say I'm changing and experimenting with style/format? This time I think the difference is more obvious. Let me know if it's too unclear or if I should continue to do it.

The sky was dark, some might see it as an omen. He didn't. What could the sky possibly understand about people, unpredictable human beings. The best anyone could do is take an educated guess. There was no precedent for anything like what was about to unfold. Nothing could prepare anyone. It would come for them all. It was only a matter of time. Shifting. All of it was unstable. Clouds come and go, but what was about to happen would be permanent. As permanent as anyone's touch on anything. Especially his touch.

The sky was bright. Sure, some clouds were up there, but clouds are so beautiful. Ever changing to suit their surroundings. If a hero could be that adaptable, they would be able to face any challenges lines their way. Today was not a day for cloud gazing, despite the perfect weather for such. It was a day for learning new environments and situations a hero might find themselves in.

The students of class 1A were climbing aboard their bus. For today's hero training, they were going farther from the main premises of the school than usual. Despite there being security concerns, the location was unknown even to the students who were going there.

"So I actually wanted to talk about something," started Tsuyu. "It's about you, Midoriya."

Incredibly flustered with a million things she could mean rushing through his mind, he replied. "Sure, what is it Asui. I– I mean Tsu!"

"Well it's just that your abilities are so similar to All Might's."

He scoffs in response. "I don't take that as a compliment."

"See and that's the part I don't get. You seem to really love heroes, all except the number 1 who happens to have a really similar quirk to you. It doesn't make any sense." There was a long pause until she figured until he wasn't replying. "Is it something to do with your personal sensei."

"You're really lucky Midoriya. My quirk is cool and all, and I can take out bad guys with it, but I sometimes wish I could have a more flashy quirk y'know."

"No ways Kirishima! I think your quirk is amazing! You can become a great hero with that power!"

"Aw gee thanks. But let's be honest, the people with quirks most suited for this hero thing are Todoroki and Bakugo."

"Too bad Bakugo has that attitude," added Tsu.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT!"

"You see what I mean?"

After a lot more of teasing Bakugo, and Deku's ensuing panic of the world's role reversal, the bus finally comes to a stop. "Stop your quarrelling, we're here." An unimpressed, truthfully rarely ever impressed, Mr. Aizawa walks off the bus.

Outside, the class was met with an amuzement park looking arena of sorts, as well as another hero there to train them, 13. Most people were excited to see her, but none as much as Deku and Ochaco who stood front and center, talking about their love for the hero despite being obviously close enough to be heard. But they were kept quiet when 13 spoke up.

"Hello, class 1A. For those of you unaware, I am the space hero, 13. Welcome to a training area of my own creation. It's meant to prepare you for all sorts of disasters you may encounter as a hero. I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, but you can call it the U.S.J."

That being the abbreviation for Universal Studios Japan aside, an explanation for the contents is given, the area is split up into subdivisions, each of which have some form of disaster that is a hero's job to save people from. Fires, landslides, shipwrecks, windstorms, etc.

But as time for training to begin was called, something unwanted had begun. Something unpredictable. The lights went haywire and pop one by one as an unusual electric pulse was sent through them. A flutter of the fountain at the center of the dome. Then after a momentary, but eerie calm, a dark cloud apparatesd. Dozens of figures walked through, all seeming to bare ill intent.

"I thought this was rescue training. What are these people doing here?" Was a thought a handful spoke up.

"Stay back!" demanded their homeroom teacher as he headed straight for the figures with his goggles on. His quirk might be made for fighting 1 on 1, but it was either he fights the group or he doesn't delay it enough to secure everyone's safety.

13 and Iida tried to get everyone back to the bus, but the dark cloud was now before them there as well. It began taking a more resolute form, having a distinct face. It was clearly in the way purposefully, and then it spoke.

"Where are you running, children? There is no where you need to be other than here. Won't you please stay to watch what we do with the mighty symbol of peace? Speaking of which, where is he?"

Bakugo and Kirishima abruptly jumped for the villain, leaving 13 unable to try using her quirk to stop this guy more effectively. In a flash the dark mist had engulfed all but a few of the students and 13, the rest were teleported to different places.

Opening his eyes, Deku found himself underwater. He swam towards the top where a long tongue hurled him onto a small ship. A few moments later, Mineta –and Tsu in suit– landed as well. After a lot of blabbering they eventually realised they were still in the USJ, simply in the shipwreck area, and all the other students must be in the different areas. They also realised their quirks were a mystery to the villains, or Tsu definitely wouldn't be put in the water.

They needed to do something, and the best they could do right now was get themselves out of danger. Eventually they devised the plan where they would get Mineta out the way while using him as a distraction, and the 2 of them could take them out 1 at a time.

Here goes nothing. Deku hurled the now screaming and crying Mineta to the nearest land. With all the villains very distracted by that, Deku mustered up a punch as strong as he could without all the adrenaline usually used in such a thing. It was enough to incapacitate a decent portion of the villains. He and Tsu taking on the remainder as best they could.

By the end of it, they were split to opposite sides of the water. Tsu was by Mineta to make sure the little annoying pervert hadn't got himself killed. He was mesmerised watching Aizawa go, and now so was Tsu.

That was until the one with a hand on his face turned to her, the hints of his features enough to invoke fear and show his malicious intent. He ran over to her, her being paralysed in fear. Izuku found the same feeling that overwhelmed him with the sludge villain taking over Kacchan. His mind had no control as he ran to save her.

Izuku was running as fast as he could, which was quite fast, towards his classmate Asui. The guy with hands all over had flayed Aizawa's elbow, he didn't want to find out what would happen to her neck. He pulled his hand back, putting his all into the punch he was about to lay on this villain, he felt like it was 100 times his punch to the robot in the entrance exam. Boom! His fist collided! With the beast who broke Aizawa's body?! It didn't even dent him! All that for him to take a little step back?!

"Well done! You managed to move Nomu. That makes you much more powerful than we anticipated, quirkless child. No matter, for Nomu here was created to take on 100% of All Might's power!" When he says that, does he mean All Might could do more or less than me?

"100% of what All Might could do huh? Well, I started heading here like 5 minutes after him and it doesn't look like he's made it yet."

"Kurogiri, who is this one?"

"I-I don't know. I've never seen him before."

"I get that a lot. I don't go waiting for the cameras to start rolling. Anyways, is he stronger than those guys?" Saitama pointed a thumb over his shoulder to the 20 villains who were standing a minute ago. "Yeah, they might be in comas for a while. Don't worry, it's never lasted over a week."

"Whoever he is, he's a threat." The smoke embodied voice wasn't one to waste time.

"Alright then. Nomu, give that bald one a test."

In the blink of an eye, the beast was towering over the man. Speaking of blinking, he didn't even do that. With a giant uppercut, the Nomu sent Saitama flying through the roof.

"Nooooo!" cried Deku.

"It seems he wasn't worth our time, I apologize," stated this 'Kurogiri'.

"Who?"

Everyone looked up in astonishment to see Saitama standing on the roof without as much as a scratch. He jumped down, landing effortlessly. Everyone's jaws were hanging excepting himself and the emotionless Nomu.

"Your dead eyes remind me of someone." He clenched his fist, his eyes taking a more angular shape. "I didn't like him."

With one punch, the Nomu was sent flying a few dozen meters away. Everyone was shaking now, bad guys and good guys alike. Though each for different reasons.

"Who is this guy? Looks like a new boss. Nomu! Show no mercy for this baldy!"

"You know, calling me that hurts less than the punch he gave me."

Nomu dashed at him, but Saitama dodged, smirking.

"So you survived my punch, huh? You're the first in years if I'm being honest. Let's see if you can handle THIS!"

Saitama just about teleported to exactly where the Nomu was, punching him a little more earnestly. Chunks of the once Nomu were sent flying about, most landing on the floor, but one piece landed on the arm the guy with hands all over. He looked at it, his utter terror showing even through the hand on his face.

"Kurogiri! Get us out of here!"

"Right away!"

Portals let the 2 of them slip through to who knows where. No one's reaction was to follow, and the portals disappeared as fast as they had come.

"Daaaaammmniiiitt!!!!" yelled Saitama at the top of his lungs.

"I know they got away, but you still saved us!" Deku offered to comfort his sensei.

"What?! Am I TWO punch man now?! He really got me excited for a real challenge!"

"Uh, aren't you kinda mad about the wrong thing?" Jiro questioned.

"Do not worry children! For I am he—... You took them all out?" All Might had arrived.

"You're... a little late..." Momo offered, looking at the shred of the Nomu in front of her.

"I see. Young Saitama! I'm sorry, I forgot about our meeting today! Thank you for saving my students!"

"Meeting?" Deku questioned.

"Yes! Your sensei made an appointment with me yesterday. I hadn't seen him yet." Turning to Saitama, he asked, "So, what was it about?"

"We can talk about it in a second. Shouldn't we check everyone's safe first?"

"Ah yes! I thought everyone had been saved. It seems you still have some things to learn."

"I think he means check up on all of us he got out," commented Ojiro.

All Might sweat dropped. "Right, of course."

After everyone was checked up on and the other heroes and the cops all showed up, things were much more calm.

"So, All Might?" Saitama tried to get his attention.

"Ah, yes. Would you like to speak now?"

"Yeah. So I'm sure you know I'm an unlicensed hero—"

"Yes, and while not illegal since you don't have a quirk you should really—"

"I wanna get my license. If not for me, for Midoriya." The 2 watched their common student talk to his friends.

"That is very wise and noble of you."

"Yeah, anyways. I need you to train me."

The pro seemed taken aback by this. "I'm not sure what I could teach yo—"

"I need to learn how to pull back my punches. I either have my death punch, a stronger death punch, or the one where I actually aim to kill them. I didn't use the third one there to take out that weird creature."

"I heard it was intended to take on my 100%"

"I know you don't believe me—"

"You're stronger than me. You're faster as well. Heck, you're a better mentor."

"About that, if you train me, Midoriya's gonna know and he'll start respecting you more. He told me about your offer, and your... how you look. He told me everything. I know you meant what you said, and I want him to get that power... His results aren't coming to him the same way mine did. I'm scared he can't get the same power as me for whatever reason. With O.F.A. he could surpass me. Huh, that sounds fun actually." He had a big smirk on at that thought. "So together we bring his powers to new heights." Saitama reached out a hand.

"And make his dream of being the number one hero a reality." All Might took his hand and the 2 shook in agreement.

You know kid, you've really changed me. It took 3 years for me to become this depressed emotionless person. Sure, you started me off with annoyance, not exactly my favourite emotion, but that was just the beginning. You showed me through your struggles where I once was. I haven't gotten a hold of all my emotions, but the fact that I can feel them let's me know I'm still living. Saitama's irises begin to grow, only a bit, but you can see a fire of passion burning in them.

I've finally returned! Yes, I copy-pasted a huge part from chapter 4. I'm still getting in the groove of this again! Coming back to it and starting off like that had me at a block until today when I decided that copy-pasting is good enough for me. I definitely needed to stay away long enough to feel like it wasn't something I didn't want to do. I'm not saying I'm all that inspiring, but what I am saying is that I hope it can be motivation for someone else who's in the same situation.

I have no idea on how often I can post consistently, surely a lot in these trying times with global quarantines, but I'll find something that works. I hope you enjoyed it. As always, favourites, follows and reviews would be really appreciated.
