Japan, Musutafu City, Musutafu Docs: The Next Day

The sun was shining over Japan. It would've been a perfect day if not for the docs. The docs were a total wreak with boats, floorboards, police cars, chunks of the street, and other objects were shattered and tossed all around as if a hurricane just hit. But hurricanes don't leave massive claw marks all over the area.

The crime scene was treated as such with police, the Japanese Coast Guard, and tons of Pro's and Sidekicks were running around the area as they collected evidence, kept citizens back, cleaned the area, and searched for more potential evidence. There were even several boats with scuba divers preparing their gear and searching under the water for any other evidence they might find.

"Woah, what happened here? It looks like a tidal wave hit this place." Said Deku in suprise as he, SpongeBob, Aizawa, Bakugou, Tsu, and Shoji stood behind the yellow police tape.

"Considering what we're dealing with, I wish it was a tidal wave..." Stated Aizawa as he walked forward and lifted the police tape over his head. "Come on, can be careful where you step."

The students followed Mr. Aizawa to a T as they all followed him into the crime scene. Eventually, Aizawa approached The Chief of Police Tsuragamae, Police Captain Tsukauchi, Fatgum, Selkie, Gang Orca, Sirius, and Endeavor.

"Hey, sorry we're late." Said Aizawa as the group stopped and looked over at the teacher and his students as they walked forward and stopped.

"It's about time you showed up, we need as much help as we can to stop these things before we become overwhelmed." Snapped Tsuragamae.

"Calm down chief, the important thing is that no civilians were hurt. And now we know exactly what to look for." Stated Fatgum as Tsukauchi turned to the pro.

"No offense, Fatgum but we lost several pros, police, and sidekicks last night. That's not really a win." Stated Tsukauchi.

"Then let's not let their sacrifices be in vain! We will track down these things to the source and stop them immediately!" Growled Gang Orca as he clenched his hand into a fist.

"Wait, what happened here?" Asked Midoriya as the group of pros and police stopped talking to look over at Midoriya. Just by looking at the pros and police's expressions, this wasn't the time for him to interrupt. But, since he had their attention, he continued on.

"... Uhh, we're here to help like you wanted. But, can you tell us what's we're up against here?" Asked Midoriya.

"We're facing what appears to be a colony of fish people. But they aren't like any villains we faced before. They were savage and animalistic, they are ravenous and will eat anything they find. We still don't know why they decided to attack Musutafu out of all places, but we know they present a danger to all." Stated Endeavor as he handed a folder over to Aizawa about the incident and quickly glanced at Izuku and Bakugou.

"Are... You two still using the advice I provided for you?" Asked Endeavor in an attempted nonchalant way, yet only ended up sounding awkward.

"Oh, uhh, doing really well sir, thanks for asking." Answered Midoriya.

"Ugh, yeah... I guess..." Mumbled Bakugou as he looked away and Endeavor's gaze shifted to SpongeBob who looked at Endeavor with widened eyes.

'Huh... So that's him. The number 1 hero of Japan. I didn't think I'd actually get to meet him. He's definitely much more intense in person than in a photo...' Thought SpongeBob as he and Endeavor continued to stare back and forth at one another. Izuku immediately noticed this as he got closer to SpongeBob and placed his hand on the American's shoulder.

"Oh, uhh... This is a new student who's studying at UA for a while... He's from America and he's studying abroad in Japan to get more experience on how to become a hero." Said Izuku as his gaze switched between SpongeBob and Endeavor.

"I'm Bob Hillenburg. But, you can call me SpongeBob. Everyone does. It's nice to finally meet the flame hero." Said SpongeBob as he reached out his hand to shake Endeavors. But Endeavor only looked down at SpongeBob's outstretched hand before looking back at his face.

"If you truly want to become a pro hero, you must prove it first. Kindness won't get you everywhere in life. You need to prove your strength in order to get recognized. Show your power, and then I will greet your properly, Mr. Hillenburg." Stated Endeavor as SpongeBob laughed nervously and pulled his hand away.

"Okay then, so anyway... You guys look like you have the coast guard, police, and every pro and sidekick on this side of Japan already on the case... No offense, but, why do you need our help?" Asked SpongeBob.

"Class-1A has proved itself time and time again to be one of the most skilled groups in all of Musutafu. Even all of Japan. And getting your most talented and most skilled aquatic types to help in our investigation is an obvious choice." Answered Selkie as he turned his attention to SpongeBob to Tsu who stood next to him.

"Tsu, how have you been doing? Getting better?" Asked Selkie in a kind tone.

"Yes, Mr. Selkie. Thanks for asking." Replied Tsuyu kindly.

"If we're done saying hi to each other, when to we get to go out there and fry some fish ass?" Asked Bakugou with an evil smile as his palms started to heat up.

"Woah there, kid. We're we need to give you guys all the facts first before you go out there. These things managed to take down entire squads of police, sidekicks, and even pros. This is not gonna be a cake walks." Replied Fatgum with a warning tone of voice.

"I read the case file last night. And from all the photos and evidence discovered from the first attack, it's possible that these fish people could actually be intelligent and are using a stretegic attack in order to proceed their plans into motion... Yet again there is the other theory that..." Midoriya started to trail off into his usual muttering as everyone in the group continued to look at him.

But SpongeBob's attention was elsewhere as he started to look around the area. SpongeBob slowly wandered off as he looked at the scratch marks in the area, the bite marks, the damaged ships, the several blood splatters around the area, and strange glowing blue goo that was around the area. SpongeBob bent on one knee as he picked up some of the goo with his fingers and got a closer look at it.

"Ew... What is this stuff? My fingers are starting to tingle... Maybe it's some kind of paralyzing agent? What kind of creature could produce something like this? The only creatures in the world that could possibly produce something like this is... Oh my sweet Neptune..." SpongeBob's eyes widened as he stood back up and looked around at the scene again. Came from the ocean, disappearance of fish, bite marks, claw marks, anamalistic behavior, weird paralyzing goo... It his SpongeBob like a flying ice cream truck as he turned around and ran back to the group. Where Izuku was still mumbling to himself and somehow the rest of the group were polite enough not to interrupt him.

"Guys! GUYS! GUYS!" Yelled SpongeBob as he ran up to the group in a panic. Instantly grabbing everyone's attention as they turned to SpongeBob.

"What the fuck do you want!?" Yelled Bakugou in an annoyed tone.

"What is it? Have you found something?" Asked Gang Orca.

"Yes! This is bad! I don't know how I didn't see it before! These things, that monsters that were attacking everyone, they are Rock Bot-"

"Hey! We found something!" Yelled one of the scuba divers as everyone looked over at one of the boardwalks to see several scuba divers pull out a sack from the water with a man sized lump in it as the scuba divers throw it onto the docks with a splat. The group got closer to it as the police locked their guns on the bag.

"It's..." One of the police grabbed the bag and started to pull it open as police, pros, and everyone else got ready for the worst.

"Wait... Is, is that even a person?" Asked the cop as the bag was fully pulled open to reveal a fish humanoid in the bag. It was a green scaly deformed fish man with large claws, lips, and one large eye. But it was riddled with wounds all over his body that appeared to be bullet holes and blunt force trauma. Clearly it died during the battle at the docks last night.

But before anyone else could make a comment or analyze the corpse, Gang Orca stood up straight and got into battle position as he turned to the ocean. "EVERYBODY! GET READY! THEIR COMING!"

Everyone developed looks of confusion and fear as they turn to the ocean. SpongeBob looked on with confusion as well, until he used the skills Mermaid Man taught him... He started honing into the water, the ocean... It was a strange kind of noise coming from the water that only aquatic types like Gang Orca could hear. SpongeBob knew who they were...

Splash!

"FOOD!" Roared Angler as he leaped from the ocean with an army of other fish-like humanoids on his tail as they all leaped from the ocean and swarmed their enemies like a horde of bees.

The everyone was taken by surprise even with Gang Orca's warning as they started swarming everyone. Taking down police and sidekicks with ease as they tried to do the same with the pros and students. But that task was going to be far harder as they blasted the creatures with fire or sent them flying back into the water with powerful attacks.

Gang Orca knocked down creatures left and right, until he looked over to find a oarfish creature leaping at him with no time to counter. But luckily, Fatgum jumped in the way of the creatures attack and absorbed the creature into his fat. The creature growled and thrashed to no effect as Fatgum glanced back at Orca with a smile and gave a thumbs up, which Orca returned.

"Flashfist Hell Spider!" Yelled Endeavor as a swarm of creatures were about to swarm him, before blasting several beams of flames and either damaging or flat out slicing the creatures to pieces.

"HAHAHAHA! DIE!" Yelled Bakugou as a pelican eel-like fish man leaped at Bakugou with it's colossal mouth wide open, ready to swallow the teen whole. But that was a big mistake on the eel man's part as Bakugou stretched out his right hand only to unleash an explosion right in front of the fish man's face.

Kaboom!

Tsu, Shoji, and Deku dashed all around as they used kicks and punches to keep the creatures back and force them back into the ocean. But they were like ants and just kept leaping out of the water.

SpongeBob swung at all the creatures swarming at him and his friends, managing to knock several of them back with powerful swings and strikes. That was until Angler marched up to him. SpongeBob morphed his hand into a pair of claws and tried to attack Angler, only for the leader of the fishmen to grab SpongeBob's attack mid-swing.

SpongeBob stared at the fisheyed leader of the creatures as it stared back at SpongeBob with it's predatory eyes.

"Who are you?" Asked SpongeBob only for Angler to roar in SpongeBob's face and hit him, sending SpongeBob stumbling back. But as SpongeBob tried to regain his bearings, Anger grabs SpongeBob by the face and tosses him head-first into several crates and boating supplies.

Crash!

But as SpongeBob rised out of the destroyed crates and supplies, Angler was charging straight at him. Only for SpongeBob to charge back as the two collided with one another. The two struggled as SpongeBob clocked Angler across the jaw, only for Angler to roar at him with his massive dagger-like teeth and bite into SpongeBob's shoulder.

SpongeBob groaned in pain as the fangs sunk into his spongey flesh, before SpongeBob quickly push kicked the monster back and felt a rip. He looked over at his shoulder to see a massive chunk of it was completely torn off. He was just happy he was in his sponge form when that happened, as he saw his shoulder was already regenerating. He looked over and saw Angler standing there with the piece of SpongeBob's shoulder in his mouth as he chewed it and swallowed it.

"Alright! That's it!" Yelled SpongeBob as he charged at Angler and clocked him across the jaw. "Your finished with the biting!"

SpongeBob then looked over to see two more fish men charging at him as he turned his hand into a spiked fist. "Also, no more eating!"

"Not while I'm up here! I'll send you creeps packing to the deep where you belo-Agh!" Yelled SpongeBob as he felt one of them grab his head once more, and tossed him straight into another pile of boat supplies and crates, smashing into it.

Crash!

"Food is ours! You are ours! YOU ARE FOOD!" Roared Angler as he charged at where he threw SpongeBob as he started to glow with a faint bioluminescence.

"Detroit SMASH!" Yelled Deku who came in out of nowhere and clobbered Angler, knocking him back as Deku surged with green energy.

"Thanks Deku! I owe you one!" Said SpongeBob as he pulled himself out of the smashed crates and boat supplies.

"Sure! But let's focus!" Said Deku with a smile before turning back to Angler with a determined expression.

"You will feed us... You are food!" Growled Angler as he charged at Deku once more, only for a blast of sonar to slow Angler down and place his hands on his ears as he screamed in pain. Deku and SpongeBob looked over to see Gang Orca using his sonar attack to disorient the fish man, before stopping and grabbing him up in a massive bear hug.

Angler thrashed here and there, doing everything he could to get Gang Orca to loose his grip. But to no avail.

"Orca's aren't named the apex predators of the ocean for no reason ya know... Now call off your people and talk! Or I will squeeze you so hard your guts will fly out of your mouth!" Threatened Gang Orca as Angler just glowed brighter and brighter as Deku and SpongeBob looked at him in confusion.

FLSSSSSHHHHH!

Then suddenly, Angler's entire body flashed with a blindingly bright light that practically blinded everyone as they all attempted to shield their eyes.

"MY EYES!" Screamed one of the police. But as the light died down and everyone was still distracted, the fishmen turned to their leader as he pointed to the water.

"Home! Return!" Yelled Angler as all the fishmen grabbed whatever they considered food and all swarmed back into the ocean.

As everyone started to regain their vision, they saw the last of the fishmen diving into the water and swimming away.

"Hey, their leaving!" Yelled Tsu.

"But where?!" Asked Deku.

"Cowards! Your running away from a fight!? Get back here!" Yelled Bakugou angrily.

"Who cares? As long as they're away from here!" Stated Fatgum.

"What matters most of all is that their gone and they didn't cause too many casualties! We need to heavily secure the boarder between all of Musutafu City! Make sure if even a single one steps a food on dry land, they will be eliminated on the spot!" Ordered Endeavor as many police, sidekicks, and other pros started getting to work.

"Did you guys hear those things talk!?" Asked one cop to another.

"Yeah, they sounded like a monster from a horror movie!" Replied another cop.

"Okay... Now that their gone, you need to tell us everything you know about these things." Stated Gang Orca as he, Endeavor, Selkie, Fatgum, Tsu, Shoji, Bakugou, Deku, Aizawa, and the rest of the group gathered around SpongeBob.

"Okay, so long ago when quirks first started to pop up, there were many people who would be scared of people with mutation quirks that would make them look like monsters or animals... These mutants decided to break off from the rest of society and form their own civilization. They were all people with a quirk related to some kind of aquatic creature, they left the surface world and made a home in the deepest part of the ocean named Rock Bottom..." Said SpongeBob as all the pro's and cops started to develop looks of recognition and glanced at one another. With only the students looking on in confusion.

"Wait, they broke off from the rest of society? How come we were never taught it?" Asked Deku as Aizawa looked over at him and the other kids.

"There are some things the governments of the world just want to push under the rug and pretend it never existed. This is one of them. The only reason the pros and police even know about it was because of words of mouth. There are a few select group of people in the world who know all the details about it." Stated Aizawa as Deku and several of the other students stared at him with understanding expressions.

"Hold on! If all of you knew about these fish freaks existence, why didn't you deduce it was them!?" Asked Bakugou angrily.

"That's the thing, after generations of living in the deepest parts of the ocean, they became animalistic and vicious. Eating whatever they could find. But, they very rarely ever come to the surface to make trouble like this. The only time something like that happened was a decade ago when they started attacking people on land, and Mermaid Man stopped them. And that's when they exhausted their own supply of food, so they only come to the surface when their hungry." Explained SpongeBob.

"But it still doesn't make sense, if they are only here for food, why are they also stealing supplies from cargo ships?" Asked Shoji.

"Well then, let's find out." Said Gang Orca as everyone looked over at him as he gestured to a fully intact boat that was remarkably undamaged during the fight.

Japan, The Pacific Ocean, Several Miles off The Coast of Musufatu City: Later...

"Listen up boys and girls, just to recap, we are sailing into the eye of the storm!" Announced Gang Orca as he stood before Deku, SpongeBob, Bakugou, Shoji, Tsu, Sirius, Selkie, and nearly a dozen other sidekicks and police. "From what we found out, we believe the Rock Bottomites are held up in a massive trench several miles off of the shore where they made their home base. We will seek their nest and destroy it... With these..."

Gang Orca reached behind him and pulled out what appeared to be a small explosive device. "We will use these. There are three more of them and all of these are small but powerful bombs. When we get to the Rock Bottomite nest, me, Selkie, Tsuyu, and SpongeBob will swim down to the opening of the trench and set the explosives. Once set, we will need to swim back to the boat and sail at least half a mile away before setting off the explosives. Trapping most in the cave, and if any others managed to escape the blast, they will be so small in numbers they won't even think about attacking boats or the shore ever again."

"We will be quick, professional, and follow the plan to a T. That means to showboating, no jumping into a battle without thinking, and no breaking away from the plan for any reason!" Said Gang Orca as he looked at the students before him. "Understand."

"Yes! Understood!" Said the students as Gang Orca's eyes widened and looked at Bakugou, sensing his sarcasm among the students as he dashed up to him.

"WHAT WAS THAT YOU LITTLE WHALE TURD!? DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE A BETTER PLAN! WOW, YOU DID NOT CHANGE FROM THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU!" Yelled Gang Orca as Bakugou looked back at him.

"Well like I said last time, I'm not a tur-" But Bakugou was interrupted as Gang Orca grabbed him and tossed him aside.

"YOU DO NO SPEAK UNLESS I ALLOW IT, TURD!" Yelled Gang Orca as Selkie rolled his eyes.

"Here we go again..." Mumbled Selkie as he then looked over at the remaining students, police, and sidekicks. "Since your not doing anything right now, man the boat, keep an eye out in case of another attack, or do something productive. Understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Said the group as Selkie swung his hand to the side.

"Then get to work!" Just like that, everyone dispersed and went to work.

For several hours, the boat drifted deeper and deeper into the open ocean. To the point of dry land fading into the distance over three hours ago. While Orca, Selkie, and several police and sidekicks were in the control room mapping out their coordinates and staying on course, the students hung out around the deck as they talked.

Deku, SpongeBob, Tsu, and Shoji hung out on the side of the boat as they simply chatted among one another.

"By the way guys, I forgot to ask, where did you get those aquatic modifications for your suits?" Asked SpongeBob as he looked at Deku and Shoji.

"Oh yeah, the support department made us some modifications to our suits before we left this morning." Said Deku as he pulled on his costume, that had a very similar texture to Tsu's wet suit. "It's basically modified with the same kind of substances that divers use in their suits, same thing with Tsuyu."

"I told you to call me Tsu!" Stated Tsu in an annoyed tone as Izuku and Deku looked over at Tsu as Deku waved his hands around in a panic.

"Oh! Sorry!" Apologized Izuku frantically. "Anyway, you and Tsu weren't told to get modifications like that since your guys costumes are already meant for aquatic environments."

"Do you think we're prepared for this, guys?" Asked Shoji as the rest turned to him.

"Well... I think we're as prepared as we can be. We're fighting cannibalistic fish people after all, who would be prepared for something like that?" Asked SpongeBob with a nervous laugh.

"Don't forget that we still have Gang Orca and Selkie leading the group. I'm sure they'll help out if anything goes wrong." Said Tsu optimistically.

"Yeah, your probably right, Tsu. I mean, you guys and the pros with us have faced worse before. I'm sure we can get through this." Said SpongeBob, equally optimistically.

"Actually, speaking of everyone... Where is Kacc-" Izuku was instantly cut off by the sound of vomiting.

"BBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone immediately looked over to see Bakugou vomiting over the side of the boat vigorously. The group got up and dashed over to Bakugou while looking at him with confused looks.

"Ugh... Oh god..." Gasped Bakugou as he stopped vomiting over the edge. "SWEET MERCIFUL GOD! ALL I ASK IS TO STOP THE FUCKING ROCKING! THAT'S ALL I ASK!"

"Hey, Bakugou... I didn't know you got sea sick." Said Deku as Bakugou turned his head and glared at him.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me ya fuckin' nerd! And I'm gonna keep it that way!" Growled Bakugou, before immediately placing his hand over his mouth as he turned to the edge of the boat and started vomiting again.

"If you got sea sick so easily, why did you not tell Mr. Aizawa about your condition?" Asked Shoji as Bakugou stopped vomiting and looked back once more.

"First of all, I'm NOT SEA SICK! I just want the FUCKING ROCKING TO STOP! Second, I'm not gonna let something like that stop me from going on a mission that'll let me kick some fish ass!" Growled Bakugou, as his look of anger turned to nausia once more.

"Your on a boat, and your getting sick... That looks like sea sickness to me." Commented Tsu as Bakugou glared at her once more.

"Fuc- BBBBUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!" Bakugou was interrupted as he turned over to the edge again and vomited once more.

"Maybe we should give Bakugou a little space to acclimate to his environment... And your know, not risk getting vomited on..." Said SpongeBob as Bakugou dashed up to SpongeBob as gave him the death glare of a life-time.

"What was that!?" Growled Bakugou as SpongeBob backed off out of fear.

"Nothing! Nothing, Bakugou!" Said SpongeBob as Bakugou turned back to the railing of the boat.

"Well, Kacchan... Just think of it in a positive light! Your loosing those extra pounds you wanted to get rid of..." Stated Izuku in his attempt to make Bakugou feel better. Only for Bakugou to snap his head at Izuku and crack his knuckles.

"Uhh... Yeah, we'll leave you alone now!" Said Izuku in a terrified tone of voice as all of the students got the message and left Bakugou to continue puking off of the boat.

Japan, The Pacific Ocean, Many More Miles off The Coast of Musufatu City: Later...

Everyone continued to mostly lounge around the boat. Despite Selkie's orders, everyone continued to be pretty lax as they mostly hung out and either talked, looked out into the ocean, or something else. Izuku, Tsuyu, and Shoji hung out on the side of the boat as they talked while Bakugou sat on the other side of the boat on a fold out chair. All the while reading a book titled 'How to Destroy your enemies'.

As Bakugou quietly read, SpongeBob walked over to him as he held a fishing pole. "Hey, Bakugou! I'm gonna go fishing. You want me to fish over here so you can watch me?"

"Why don't you fish over THERE so I can ignore you instead, dumbass?" Replied Bakugou as he gestured to the other end of the boat.

"Okay!" Said SpongeBob cheerfully as he stood on the edge of the boat and started swinging his line back and forth in an extremely reckless and dangerous fashion.

The line flew back as the fish hook hooked Bakugou's book and yanked it out of his hands and into the ocean. Bakugou's eyes widened. But before he could say anything, SpongeBob flung the fishing line back as the hook hooked onto Bakugou's chair and pulled it right out from under him. Knocking Bakugou to the floor and flinging the chair into the ocean.

Bakugou stood back up and glared at SpongeBob as he waved his fist and yelled at him. "Hey! Watch where your swinging that, you-"

But Bakugou was interrupted as the fishing fly swung back and hooked onto Bakugou's shirt, before tearing if off and flinging it into the ocean.

Rip!

"SUPER SOAKER! BE CAREFUL WITH-" But Bakugou paused in terror as the hook flew back and hooked onto Bakugou's hair.

RIIIPP!

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"WHAT IN THE SAM HILL IS GOING ON HERE!?" Yelled Gang Orca as he, Selkie, Sirius, and everyone else exited the control room and ran to the front of the ship.

They all saw SpongeBob cowering on one side of the boat as Izuku, Tsuyu, and Shoji attempted to hold back an absolutely livid Bakugou who had a large patch of blond hair missing from his head.

"I'LL BLAST YOU ALL THE WAY TO HELL YOU SPONGE BASTARD! I'LL CUT YOU UP INTO A THOUSAND TINY LITTLE PIECES AND FEED YOU TO THE SHARKS YOU FUCKING DUMBASS!" Yelled Bakugou as the three students continued to use every once of strength they had to hold the furious Bakugou back.

"KACCHAN! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! CALM DOWN!" Yelled Izuku as he attempted to calm Bakugou down.

"PLEASE, BAKUGOU! HAVE MERCY!" Yelled SpongeBob in a terrified tone as suddenly Bakugou grabbed Deku by his moppy green hair and started using him as a blunt weapon and swung him all around. Knocking Tsu and Shoji back before charging at SpongeBob as he was about to smash SpongeBob with Deku.

"I BEG YOU PLEASE DON'T-!"

Japan, The Pacific Ocean, Many More Miles off The Coast of Musufatu City: Later...

Incredibly, SpongeBob survived his deadly encounter with Kacchan. After performing the amazing task of subduing an absolutely furious Bakugou, Gang Orca, Selkie, and the other crew members tied Bakugou to a chair and dragged him into the control room. Bakugou would remain tied to the chair until he finally manages to calm down... Which would probably take a while.

Many of the other crew members, being cops and sidekicks continued to hang out around the boat with Deku, Shoji, and Tsu deciding to stay in the control room with Gang Orca and Selkie to learn whatever tidbits of advice the pro's had for them and watch the detector for any strange activity. Meanwhile, to not aggravate Bakugou even more, SpongeBob sat on the end of the boat with a fishing pole in his hands and his line in the water.

"Aw man, I didn't mean to rip Bakugou's hair out like that! How was I supposed to know recklessly fly fishing could be dangerous!? Hmm... I should really make it up to Bakugou..." Said SpongeBob outloud to himself as he began to think to himself how he could repay Bakugou.

"I know! I'll catch a few fish and cook a buffet for him! That should cheer that grump up!" Said SpongeBob optimistically as he looked back at his fishing pole and laid back.

"That's the great thing about fishing... It's all about patience and waiting with the sun, the fresh sea breeze, and the sound of the ocean... It dosen't matter if I even catch a single fish... *Sigh*..." Said SpongeBob as he leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face.

"... Alright, who am I kidding? This is starting to get boring..." Said SpongeBob as he sat up in his seat. But as he was about to reel his hook in, he got a tug from the line as SpongeBob excitedly grabbed the line and started reeling in his catch.

"Ohh! Ohh! I think I caught something!" Said SpongeBob as he continued to reel up the heavy catch SpongeBob caught. "What is it!? Maybe it's marlin!? Some kind of Salmon!? What could it be!?"

But as SpongeBob finally pulled his catch out of the water, he saw that is wasn't any kind of fish. Instead it seemed to be a small wooden boat that was filled to the brim with silver and gold coins.

"Oh! That's not a fish, it's just a bunch of useless junk! I can't cook that!... Oh well, back in the ocean." Said SpongeBob as he released his catch and let the sunken boat sink back into the ocean before casting his line back in the water to try again.

"Let's try that again..." Said SpongeBob as he gripped his fishing pole with one hand and grabbed the metal rail on the gunwale of the boat. But as SpongeBob focused on the water, he heard a strange sound coming from nearby.

Creeek...

SpongeBob stuck his head up and looked all around the boat for the noise. The noise sounded metallic in nature, like metal was being dragged against itself or being bent. But as SpongeBob was about to give up and focus on fishing again, his eyes widened as he saw his hand.

"What the-..." His hand that was grabbing onto the metal rail possessed the same color and texture as the rail he was touching. He moved around his fingers only to hear small creeking noises. Just like the noise SpongeBob heard before, it sounded like the creeking of metal.

But as he pushed his hand down, he saw that his hand actually merged with the metal rail as he slowly pushed his newly metallic hand through it. He marveled at this new oddity, before slowly pulling his metallic hand out of the rail, neither the rail nor SpongeBob's hand received any damage from the 'merging' that just took place. SpongeBob continued to marvel at his metallic hand, before the metallic texture began to fade away and return SpongeBob's hand back to it's original sponge-like color and texture.

"Spooky..." Said SpongeBob as he continued to move his hand around, still amazed at the fact that for a moment it actually mimicked metal. "Did... Did I actually absorb... Metal?"

SpongeBob then grew an immense smile as he looked down at his hand in amazement. "INCREDIBLE! I CAN ABSORB METAL! PROBABLY EVEN MORE MATERIALS! I GOTTA TELL EVERYONE!"

SpongeBob then turned heel and ran over to the control room of the boat before running inside and up to Izuku, Tsuyu, and Shoji. "Hey, guys! You won't believe it!"

"What is it, SpongeBob?" Asked Izuku as the three students turned to look at SpongeBob.

"You won't believe it! There I was outside, fishing, when I grabbed a metal rail. Then suddenly, my hand took up the same properties of the rail. In other words, my hand turned metal when I touched the rail." Said SpongeBob excitedly as Izuku's eyes widened in surprise.

"What-!? Really!? I thought your quirk only allowed you to absorb water. Are you telling me that... Your able to absorb MATTER now!?" Asked Izuku as he pulled out his notebook out of nowhere with stars in his eyes as he started scribbling down.

"Are you sure you didn't just slip and bump your head, SpongeBob? No offense, but it's kinda hard to believe you can actually absorb matter now out of nowhere." Stated Tsuyu as SpongeBob smirked at the frog girl.

"Oh yeah? Well watch THIS!" Said SpongeBob as he shifted into his sponge form and walked over to a nearby control conceal and placed his hands on it. But as he focused on absorbing the matter of the control conceal... Nothing happened. He looked down at the conceal, puzzled, before trying again to zero effect. SpongeBob tried over and over to no effect as he tried to absorb the matter of the conceal.

"Uhh... Are you sure you didn't just hit your head?" Asked Shoji as SpongeBob pulled his hands away from the conceal and looked at them with confusion.

"But that can't be! I absorbed the same kind of metal only a few minutes ago! Now I can't do it any more? Ahh, man!" Groaned SpongeBob in frustration as Izuku put his book away and took a few steps closer to SpongeBob with a comforting smile.

"Don't worry SpongeBob, even though everyone has had their quirks for their whole lives, a lot of people forget that their quirk can grow and change just like them. Like for me, I'm still amazed to learn that my quirk has more uses then I previously believed. Maybe you just need time to adapt to this new part of your quirk." Said Izuku as SpongeBob looked back at him with a smile.

"Yeah, I guess your right Izuku. I guess I'll just try to explore it when we get back to school... But it's still awesome to think I can absorb matter! I guess I can do more then the average sponge after all." Said SpongeBob in glee.

"I can agree to that, SpongeBob. When I strengthened my frog quirk I found out I can do even more then the average frog can, ribbit. And I'm sure your going through the same thing with your sponge quirk." Said Tsu as SpongeBob smiled back at the girl.

"True, but if that's true, I wonder what else I can absorb! Maybe energy! That would be so cool!" Said SpongeBob in an excited tone.

"I'm sure you will." Replied Izuku.

"Everyone! Get in your positions and brace yourselves!" Commanded Gang Orca as everyone looked over to the front of the ship to see dark clouds in the distance.

"We're heading into a storm! Things are going to get rough, so everyone get to your positions and stay there until you receive instructions!" Commanded Gang Orca as the four students walked up to the front of the boat and looked out the windshield. As they saw the dark clouds in the distance getting closer and closer.

"Don't worry guys, Neptune is a merciful god of the the sea. Of course he's gonna take pitty on us, heroic mariners." Said SpongeBob right before the storm released multiple thunderclaps in the distance.

Thoom! Crack!

"Oh boy..."

Japan, The Pacific Ocean, Many More Miles off The Coast of Musufatu City: 10 Minutes Later...

CRACKLE! THOOM! BOOM! CRACK! THOOM!

"Curse you, merciful Neptune!" Screamed SpongeBob as the boat was in the dark storm that totally blocked out the sun and started bombarding the boat with wave after wave. The storm raged on all around them with continuing lightning strikes, heavy waves, and strong winds.

"Okay everyone, listen up!" Yelled Gang Orca as everyone was outside on the front of the ship with Izuku, Bakugou, Tsuyu, Shoji, and SpongeBob standing in front of the crowd.

"The map says that we are above Rock Bottom, the nest of the Rock Bottomites. The detector reads several thousand vitals below the boat, all together in one large mass. We will proceed with the plan..." Said Selkie as he picked up four of the small explosives and held them up for all to see.

"I'm sorry, I think I heard something else for a second, did you say there are THOUSANDS of those things down there? Ribbit." Asked Tsuyu as she and the rest of the students looked on in fear. Except for Bakugou who had a malevolent smile on his face.

"Don't be alarmed, from the lack of movement and readings of the vitals, we believe they are asleep. Even the ones that are awake are so deep in the nest that they won't even detect us when we come by." Gang Orca assured.

"Now, since they are resting this is our prime opportunity to seal them off and stop them for good. Me, Gang Orca, SpongeBob, and Froppy will swim to the bottom of the ocean and place the bombs around the entrance of the nest." Said Selkie as he handed out the bombs to Gang Orca, SpongeBob, and Tsuyu. "The bombs are programmed to go off in one minute. So we need to be very careful, when we get down there we will place the bombs to the entrance of the trench. When I give the signal, everyone will set all the bombs at once and swim back to the boat."

"As for everyone else, you will stay on the boat and the detector and keep in eye out. If you even see a single fin poking out of the water, you will contact us IMMEDITALLY so we can get out of here." Said Gang Orca as Bakugou visibly got angry and marched forward.

"Hey! I didn't come here to keep watch! I came here to kick some fishface ass! I'm not just gonna sit here and look at the water while you guys have all the fun!" Yelled Bakugou.

"A hero isn't all about being in the action, Bakugou. It's about being rational, organized, and productive. I selected SpongeBob and Froppy to come along because they are equipped to handle extreme aquatic environments. So, you will stay here with your teammates and keep an eye out! If even a SINGLE Rock Bottomite finds out where here, our ENTIRE operation can become compromised! So, KEEP. WATCH." Ordered Gang Orca as Bakugou grumbled and looked away.

"Sure, whatever..." Growled Bakugou.

"We'll do our best, Sir!" Said Deku optimistically.

"Good, now just one more thing before we-" But Gang Orca was interrupted by a thunderclap.

THOOM!

The clap was so loud and close, it silenced everyone for a moment. But that's not what kept the group silent. As SpongeBob regained his vision after the flash of lightning, he saw that everyone was looking at him with shocked and terrified looks on their faces. SpongeBob gave them a confused expression, before realizing they weren't looking at HIM.

As SpongeBob turned around, he saw a tall shadowy figure standing on the gunwale. SpongeBob took a step back as another lighting strike showed what the creature looked like.

CRACK!

It was a Rock Bottomite, as it survayed the entire crew like they were nothing more then pieces of meat. It walked off of the gunwale and slowly walked up to the crew and reached for them. But before it could get any closer, Selkie dashed up to the Rock Bottomite and clobbered him, sending him back into the gunwale and damaging it. But that didn't stop the Rock Bottomite as it stood back up.

"GGRRRRR! RAAAARRRR!" Another inhuman growl sounded off from the other side of the boat as the group turned to see another Rock Bottomite leaping out of the ocean and onto Deku. Despite Deku activating Full Cowl as soon a he could, the Rock Bottomite struggled violently with the young hero and attempted to bite his face off.

"Hey! Ugly!" Yelled a nearby voice as the Rock Bottomite and Deku turned their heads to see SpongeBob charging at the monster with a broken piece of wood as he started bashing the Rock Bottomite over the head with it. Until swinging it so hard it shattered the wooden plank.

But that didn't stop the Rock Bottomite as it attempted to attack SpongeBob, only for SpongeBob to quickly kick the Rock Bottomite over the ship.

"Thanks, SpongeBob." Said Izuku as SpongeBob looked back with a smile.

"Hehe, don't mention it." Replied SpongeBob.

"Hey lovebirds! Pay attention because we're getting swamped!" Yelled Bakugou as the two looked over to see that more and more Rock Bottomites started to crawl on board the ship as everyone attempted to fight them off.

"DIE FISHFACE! DIE!" Yelled Bakugou as he ran up to three Rock Bottomites that climbed on board, as they all attempted to leap at him. Only for Bakugou to activate his explosions and blast many of them away. "Haha! Who's next, huh?! Who's next!?"

Suddenly, out of nowhere a Rock Bottomite snuck up behind Bakugou and slashed at his back. Making the hero stumble forward out of pain. But as he turned around, he saw the Rock Bottomite leaped at him. But before it could even touch Bakugou, Shoji dashed in with 40 fists at the ready and started ruthlessly pummeling the creature.

"Outta the way!" Yelled Bakugou as Shoji looked back to see Bakugou was preparing his AP shots. Shoji leaped out of the way as Bakugou unleashed a barrage of rapid fire explosive blasts that sent the Rock Bottomite flying.

"DAMN! I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS!" Yelled Gang Orca as a pile of Rock Bottomites attemped to swarm the pro. But they were all blasted away by Gang Orca's sonar blast.

"We have to get out of here! Sirius!" Yelled Selkie as Sirius nodded and attempted to run back to the control room with several crew mates by her side. All the while Selkie with struggling against an eel Rock Bottomite that attempted to bite Selkie's face off, only for Selkie to headbutt the monster and push kicked him back.

All the while, more and more Rock Bottomites swarmed the ship and even started collecting on top of the mast and started blocking off all the search lights.

"Wait! What about sealing up their nest! If we leave, they're going to keep hurting people!" Yelled Izuku as he leaped into the air and kicked a whole bunch of Rock Bottomites. "DETROIT SMASH!"

"We have no choice, Izuku! Ribbit- AGH!" Screamed Tsu as a Rock Bottomite managed to slash at her with it's claws before biting her arm.

"Get away from her!" Yelled SpongeBob as dashed in with his hand in the shape of a sludge hammer and hit the Rock Bottomite, sending him flying back into the ocean. But before he could hit the water, SpongeBob streached his arm out and grabbed the Rock Bottomite by the ankle. Swinging the creature into the top of the mast where all the other Rock Bottomites were collecting and smashed him through it.

SMASH!

The top of the mast was broken in half as it and many of the Rock Bottomites fell into the water.

"There are too many of them! What are we gonna do?!" Asked Shoji as Bakugou stood up and grabbed at his injured arm.

"Cover yourselves in butter and play keep away for all I care! But I'M gonna exterminate every single one of those fisheyed- Ugh!" But Bakugou wasn't able to finish as a Rock Bottomite punched Bakugou into a part of the boat and into a box filled with flares.

Crash!

As Bakugou slid down on the floor, the box of flares fell down and spilled several flares out of the box.

After SpongeBob knocked back another Rock Bottomite, he looked over at all the flares as his brain hatched and idea. Without even thinking, SpongeBob ran over and picked up a flare, tearing off the top and igniting it. Making the Rock Bottomites growl in pain as they walk back.

"Of course! They come from the abyss! They hate the light!" Yelled Izuku as everyone picked up a flare and started to use them to ward of the massive hordes of Rock Bottomites.

"This won't hold them back for long! Ribbit!" Yelled Tsuyu as the five students gathered together and held out their lit flare, warding off the encroaching swarm.

"Damnit! These things are everywhere!" Yelled Bakugou as the group still did their best to ward off the creatures. But one of the Rock Bottomites got brave and lunged at the group. But before it could attack the students, a shotgun blast rang through the air as the creature was forced back.

Bang!

Everyone looked over to see Sirius standing there with a shotgun in her hands. As she signaled the students to follow her into the cockpit. "Come on! Follow me!"

"Huh? But I thought you guys never use guns!" Yelled out SpongeBob in confusion.

"Well I'm not going to defend myself my throwing marshmallows!" Yelled out Sirius before shooting another Rock Bottomite. "Now move it!"

As everyone got into the cockpit, Sirius shut the door and locked it. The Rock Bottomites crowded around the windows and slammed their claws and heads into them. Cracking them as they tried to break in.

"Everyone! Keep them from getting in!" Yelled Gang Orca as everyone moved to the windows to either hold their burning flares to the windows to keep the Rock Bottomites back or keep back the ones that already shattered windows.

"Get us out of here, NOW!" Yelled Gang Orca as Sirius and several crew members headed to their positions and attempted to start the engines and escape the angry hornets nest.

"No! Not yet! We need to stop them right now before they hurt anyone else!" Yelled out SpongeBob.

"He's right! If we don't stop these things now they'll keep killing people! We have to end this NOW!" Yelled Bakugou as SpongeBob quickly glanced at Bakugou out of shock. Suprised that Bakugou of all people would agree with him.

"This spot is WAY to hot! We need to get out of-" But Gang Orca was cut off by the loud creeking of metal and the breaking of glass.

Crash! Creek!

Everyone looked over to see that the door to the cockpit was torn off of it's hinges and tossed to the side as a bright figure walked into the room. He was glowing with a blue bio-luminescence that nearly blinded everyone as more Rock Bottomites began to swarm into the cockpit.

"You, should have stayed on land... Now you will die..." Spoke a croaky and deep voice, as SpongeBob's eyes adjusted, he saw that it was the presumed leader of the monsters, Angler.

SpongeBob looked all around to see that everyone did the best they could to fight off the Rock Bottomites that were swarming into the cockpit before looking back at Angler who stood over him.

"Now... You are ours..." Said Angler as SpongeBob glanced to his left to see that the four bombs from before were in a corner, before looking back at Angler with a determined expression.

"I don't think so, buster!" Said SpongeBob before quickly kicking Angler in the face. Knocking the fish man back as SpongeBob turned around and grabbed the bombs. He strapped them to his back as he also picked up several more flares.

He dashed out of the cockpit and ran to the front of the ship. Everyone in the cockpit watched SpongeBob as he ran through the hordes that were still coming aboard as he made it to the front of the ship.

"What is he doing!? He's going to get himself killed!" Yelled Gang Orca.

"No! He's trying to lure them away!" Said Izuku.

SpongeBob pulled out one of his flares and ignited it as he yelled at the top of his lungs. "COME ON! WHO WANTS A PIECE OF ME!? HUH!? ANYONE HUNGRY!? COME ON! I'M A FREE MEAL JUST WAITING FOR YA! NICE AND READY TO GO!"

And just like that, every Rock Bottomite migrated to the front of the boat. Even all of the Rock Bottomites in the cockpit ran out and moved to the front of the boat. Everyone in the cockpit ran over to the front to see it was so crowded by Rock Bottomites that they couldn't even see SpongeBob. All they could see and hear was the sound of his voice and the red light of his flare.

"What is he!? He's gonna get himself killed!" Yelled Gang Orca.

"We need to help him!" Yelled out Izuku in a frightened tone.

"Oh no! The bombs are missing!" Everyone turned around to see Sirius who was standing in the spot where Selkie placed the explosives in the first place. But now they were gone. Everyone shared looked of shock before looking over to the front of the ship that was still crawling with Rock Bottomites.

"He didn't-" Said Selkie in shock.

Back with SpongeBob, he stood at the very top of the front of the ship and waved around his flare like crazy. He looked back into the water to see even more Rock Bottomites swimming in the black water and looked back at the Rock Bottomites before him.

"Oh man... This is crazy! This is crazy! This is crazy!" Mumbled SpongeBob to himself, before turning around and leaping off of the ship and into the water. As he dove in, he saw thousands of differently horrifying Rock Bottomites swarming around him. Only keeping their distance due to the flare in SpongeBob's hand.

SpongeBob then swam deeper and deeper into the dark deep. Swimming as fast as he could as he dodged the Rock Bottomites around him that attempted to slash or bite at him. But with the intense light of the flare, they couldn't get any closer then a few inches before the light starts to burn their eyes.

As he got deeper and deeper, he finally hit the bottom and stood on the ocean floor. He looked around and saw it was pitch darkness with hundreds of Rock Bottomites swarming around him. Only still keeping their distance because of the flare SpongeBob held in his hand.

"Well, at least the flare is still going." Said SpongeBob, as the flare suddenly burnt out and he was left in complete darkness as his eyes widened in fear.

"This isn't your average everyday darkness... This is... ADVANCED DARKNESS..." Said SpongeBob in fear as one of the Rock Bottomites rocketed into him out of the darkness and sent him into a rock wall.

Crash!

But as SpongeBob's impact shattered the rocky wall and started to fall deeper into the water, all the Rock Bottomites were swarming around him like a school of piranhas. They slashed at him, bit at him, and hit him from all sides. SpongeBob could barely see through the absolute blackness, as he swung wildly into the darkness, hoping to get at least a few Rock Bottomites along with him.

He could only feel getting a couple at most as the horde continued to tear at him and shred him. Luckily when he would shift into his sponge form, his nervous system would change as well. Giving him a higher resistance to pain. But even now, he was feeling an incredible amount of pain. He didn't even want to know what his body LOOKED like after dealing with all the teeth and claws of the ravenous Rock Bottomites.

But as he continued to get battered around, he just remembered he had another flare in his back pocket. After taking it out he tore the top off and ignited the flare.

Fsst!

Scaring away many of the Rock Bottomites and making them all scurry away from him like roaches. As he looked around, he saw that he was even deeper in the trench. And to his horror, he looked at the walls and ground and saw that they were all absolutely crawling with Rock Bottomites. Some with regular fish features, some with shark features, some with octopus features, some with crustacean features, and many more.

"Ohh... I think I just got Thalassophobia..." Said SpongeBob as suddenly out of nowhere, a red light came rocketing out of the darkness and hit SpongeBob. Sending him flying into the wall of the trench. Smashing into it and sending pieces of rock and other Rock Bottomites flying away.

Crash!

As SpongeBob opened his eyes, he realized that there was a lot more light then before. At first he just thought that he was somehow back on the surface and out of this underwater nightmare... But no. It was a new blue light that clashed with the burning red light of the flare. As SpongeBob got a better look at the blue light, he saw that it was Angler, who was glowing with bioluminescence.

"You, are food... Your friends are food... AND YOU CAN'T STOP US!" Roared Angler through the black water as he grabbed SpongeBob by the throat and slammed him into the trench wall yet again, cracking it before turning around and tossing SpongeBob away. As he smashed though a rocky pillar as he continued to fly through the dark water.

Smash!

But as he started to slow to a stop, he saw Angler and many more Rock Bottomites began to swim at him once more to finish him off for good. But SpongeBob was finished with this as he narrowed his eyes and found his footing on the ocean floor, before leaping forward and flying through the water at the horde of Rock Bottomites who were coming at him.

"No! I'm not gonna let you hurt another person! And I'll seal this horrible place up for GOOD!" Yelled SpongeBob as he braced himself and barreled through several dozen Rock Bottomites as many of them were sent flying back through the water. As SpongeBob flew forward and punched Angler, sending the leader of the Rock Bottomites flying back.

But as Angler regained his senses, he looked back to see SpongeBob wasn't in his same spot any more, he was swimming upwards to the surface. Angler expressed a confused look, knowing that the young hero wouldn't just swim all the way into the wasps nest and just swim away. As Angler looked around, he saw several digital numbers being projected through the darkness by four small devices as they sunk deeper and deeper into the trench.

Angler still didn't know what it meant, until he heard the devices beeping. His eyes immediately widened as he turned around and swam towards the fleeing SpongeBob at high speeds.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Screamed Angler as he and a horde of other Rock Bottomites swam towards SpongeBob at violent speeds. "IF WE'RE TRAPPED! YOUR COMING WITH US!"

Angler and the other Rock Bottomites were tailgating SpongeBob as Angler got close enough to grab his ankle and drag him back into the deep. But before he could grab him, SpongeBob spun around and kicked Angler back into the deep before turning around and swimming back to the surface.

"See you in HECK!" Yelled out SpongeBob.

All the while the bombs began to have it's final countdown. '5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Meanwhile, Back on the surface:

Back on the surface, the boat sat on the water in shambles with tons of damages lingering on the ship. But that was the last concern of the crew as everyone looked over the boat in an attempt to find SpongeBob or some trace of him.

"It's too dark! I don't see anything!" Yelled Izuku as he shined his flashlight in the water along with the rest of the crew that used emergency search lights.

"Can't hear him either. Too much interference." Said Sirius as she attempted to listen in for SpongeBob.

"Why would that idiot do that!? He's gonna get himself killed!" Yelled Bakugou as he searched along with everyone else.

Eventually, three figures emerged from the water as Bakugou, Shoji, Izuku, Sirius, and half of the crew looked at.

"Did you find him?" Asked Shoji.

"No! There were too many of those things in the way!" Yelled Gang Orca.

"It's also way too dark! I couldn't see a thing just a few feet under the water!" Yelled Froppy.

"My clicking is ineffective too! There's just to much movement to detect where the kid-" But Selkie wasn't able to finish his sentence a she was interrupted by a massive booming sound that came from the deep.

BOOM!

Everyone remained silent for a moment, before looking back down at the water.

"Wait... You don't think he actually-" Izuku was cut off by Sirius.

"I-I'm sorry... That was definitely the bombs..." Said Sirius somberly as everyone developed expressions of shock and sadness.

"Hey! Come on that idiot withstood my explosions! I'm sure he's fine!" Said Bakugou with false confidence.

"No! I won't let a kid just die! I'm going back down there!" Yelled Gang Orca as he attempted to swim back to the bottom, only for Tsuyu and Selkie to hold him back.

"Orca! There's going to be falling rocks and soot everywhere! It's too dangrous to go down there!" Yelled Selkie as Tsu and him continued to try and hold Orca back.

"I-I'm sorry, SpongeBob..." Said Tsu sadly as a tear rolled down her face and still tried to hold Orca back.

"*Sniff*... I, I barely even got to know him..." Said Izuku as he sniffed and tried his best to hold back tears.

"Why are you sad about that?" Asked a familiar voice from the other side of the boat as everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over. "I'm not going anywhere..."

Everyone saw a dark figure on the other side of the boat who had SpongeBob's voice as everyone ran over to him and Gang Orca, Selkie, and Tsuyu jumped back on the boat.

"Here! Take this blanket!" Said Sirius a she pulled out an emergency blanket and placed it on SpongeBob, who snugly wrapped it around him.

"Your alive!" Yelled Shoji.

"What happened down there!?" Yelled Izuku.

"Well, I actually swam down there with the bombs and hit a few potholes when the Rock Bottomites tried to kill me. But luckily, I set the bombs and left before any of them could escape." Said SpongeBob happily.

"Oh, thank goodness your okay!" Said Tsuyu.

"I'll admit... I was a bit worried myself." Said Orca, still trying to play it cool.

"We were ALL worried for you SpongeBob." Said Sirius as she placed her hand on SpongeBob's shoulder. "Even Mr. Tough Guy here was worried."

Everyone looked over at Bakugou as Bakugou covered his arms and kept a stern expression. "I never thought you died or got hurt. And even if you did, I wouldn't care!"

Everyone continued to look at Bakugou with knowing smiles. Each one of them easily seeing through his facade.

"I'm just glad your okay, SpongeBob. That had to be a horrifying experience going down there and fighting all those monsters." Said Izuku as he walked up to SpongeBob.

"Hehehe... Ya got that right... I think I got caught up in the explosion a bit. But I'm pretty sure I'm still in one piece..." Said SpongeBob as he turned around and looked back at the ocean. "Sponge: 1, Rock Bottomites: 0..."

"How do ya like THEM APPLES!?" Asked SpongeBob as he pointed to the ocean, and the blanket fell off of him. Since the area became well lit once more, everyone saw what SpongeBob looked like now.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!... Ewww..." Said everyone in unison as they all stared at SpongeBob who was riddled down to nothing but a few spongey muscles and nerves with his eye's bulging out and his spongey brain and heart being visible with the both of them pulsating. He looked like a zombie or an alien from a 1950's horror movie.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Asked SpongeBob, completely oblivious to the fact that the explosion rendered him down to nerves and muscle. As Izuku fainted out of shock and fear and everyone else looked on in terror.

Japan, Musutafu City, Musutafu Docs: Later...

"And you say you've successfully patched up the trench that these things crawled out of?" Asked The Chief of Police Tsuragamae as everyone who was on the boat was either standing or sitting in front of him as they were having paramedics patch them up. Along with Tsuragamae stood Police Captain Tsukauchi, Fatgum, Aizawa, and Endeavor.

"We checked before we left, Sir. It was completely collapsed. There were practically zero Rock Bottomites in sight. Even if a few managed to escape, they would more then likely hunt in the deeper parts of the ocean and feed on easier prey then humans." Stated Gang Orca.

"So, everything went without a hitch?" Asked Tsukauchi as the entire crew developed nervous looks as Tsuragamae, Tsukauchi, Endeavor, and Aizawa's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"What happened?" Asked Aizawa bluntly.

"Look, before we say anything, we have to let you know that you CAN'T use your quirk on him before he finishes healing." Warned Selkie as Aizawa's eyes instantly drifted over to SpongeBob who was still covered in head to toe in the blanket. So he wouldn't give anyone a heart attack when they looked at him.

"What happened, Mr. Hillenburg?" Asked Aizawa in an angry tone as Selkie looked to the ground in shame and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah, that one is on me..." Said Selkie a bit shamefully as SpongeBob let out a sigh and took a few steps forward.

"Mr. Aizawa, I-" But SpongeBob was cut off as Izuku jumped in front of SpongeBob with his hands spread out.

"Mr. Aizawa, SpongeBob practically saved our lives. He took the explosives that we were going to use to collapse the trench and bury Rock Bottom. But we were attacked by the monsters earlier then expected, so SpongeBob took the bombs and swam to Rock Bottom himself and set off the explosives! I know it sounds crazy, we even thought he died a few minutes after the bombs went off... But he saved us!" Said Izuku as Aizawa glared right through Izuku and pierced SpongeBob who was hiding behind him.

"... This is far worse then when the students broke the school rules and put themselves in danger... Or when Izuku got into a fight with Bakugou..." Said Aizawa in a furious yet somehow calm voice. Which made him even more intimidating. "I should expel you on the spot, Robert. That is possibly the most reckless thing I've ever heard of in my life."

Izuku and the other students looked on in horror as SpongeBob looked down in disappointment and horror. He was hand picked by Mermaid Man himself to train, he wanted to be a hero more then anything else in the world, he worked for months and months and months to even get accepted into a hero school... And now it's all going down the drain. All because he had to do something impulsive and stupid. He could've died, easily died in that explosion. Or just be torn to shreds by the Rock Bottomites. And now because of what he did, it's over for him. He's going to be sent back to the States with a massive black mark on his permanent record...

"Please Mr. Aizawa... He saved us! He doesn't deserve to be expelled!" Begged Tsuyu as she stood by Izuku and SpongeBob.

"Mr. Aizawa, he saved EVERYONE on the boat. It might have been unorthodox, but he got the job done. He's a hero." Stated Shoji as he took a stand by the other three.

"No... He's right..." Said SpongeBob in a practically broken voice as the three students eyes widened and looked back at the boy who was still covered in the massive blanket.

"But... But SpongeBob, you worked so hard to become a hero! Don't throw that away because of this!" Said Izuku as SpongeBob silently lowered his head even more, before silently walking past Izuku and up to Aizawa who was looking down at him with absolute fury.

"Your right Mr. Aizawa... It was stupid and reckless... I could've died, and even my friends or the crew could've died... And I know that. But, there was no other choice. If I didn't do that, everyone would be skeletons lying at the bottom of the ocean by now. But I don't regret what I did for one minute. Your just going to have to expel me..." Said SpongeBob as the other students, even the heroes and police looked on in shock. All the while Aizawa continued to look down at him with a blank expression.

But as Aizawa was about to open his mouth, SpongeBob felt a hand placed on his shoulder. As he curiously looked over, she was shocked to see Bakugou standing next to him with his hand on his shoulder.

"Listen, , I should be the last guy to defend this stupid nerd... The guy is too stupid to be a hero! He's an idiot! He's clueless! Naive! The fucking list goes on!... But, he doesn't deserve to be expelled, sir. What he did was stupid, but, he saved everyone on that boat and sealed those fishfaced freaks under the ocean for good. Don't expel him..." Said Bakugou as the students looked at Bakugou with amazement. Especially SpongeBob.

"... Fine then. Since you came forward, your classmates and everyone else backed you up, you are still highly recommended by your school and a certain pro, and you did manage to save everyone's life... One week of chores and detention. You should consider yourself lucky, kid. If any of my students did something that crazy, I would expel them immediately. But, you still have potential in you, kid. And I won't just throw it away." Stated Aizawa as SpongeBob looked back up at him with a small smile on his face as he started sniffling.

"Don't cry." Said Aizawa bluntly as SpongeBob wiped tears away from his eyes.

"Okay..." Replied SpongeBob.

"Excuse me, police chief, I think we found something!" Said a cop from nearby as everyone looked over to see four cops carrying a large box-like red and blue machine over to them. Before placing it on the ground.

"What is it?" Asked Tsuragamae as the same cop started to explain.

"We found this device at the bottom of one of the only docked boats which was completely untouched during the attack. After analyzing the device, it seemed to be emitting a high pitched sound wave... We're still unsure what it's used for, but we also found three more machines just like this nearby the docks. It can't be a coincidence." Said the cop.

"Could it be possible that the high pitched sound waves were the reason for the Rock Bottomites attacking and stealing supplies from the cargo ships?" Asked Endeavor as he walked in.

"Yes... They only attack whenever their low on food... Someone was controlling them... But, who?" Asked Gang Orca as he walked in as SpongeBob and Izuku walked a little closer to take a look at the machine themselves. But as SpongeBob looked at it, he scratched his chin in curiosity as he took a few steps forward. Until he recgonized it.

"Wait... I know those markings!" Said SpongeBob as everyone looked over at him.

"What do you mean?" Asked Endeavor as SpongeBob got closer to the machine.

"The markings, the colors, being themed around the ocean... This is the work of the evil Man Ray!" Exclaimed SpongeBob.

"Wha- Man Ray!? But I thought he was an American villain. What is he doing here in Japan?" Asked Izuku as he walked closer. All the while Tsuragamae scratched his chin.

"It does make sense... Especially with the other reports the police station has been receiving lately... We will mark him down as a suspect." Said Tsuragamae as he simply looked back at Captain Tsukauchi who nodded and made a phone call.

"But... If this was really the work of Man Ray... What would he want with all those pieces of equipment?" Asked Izuku as he walked up next to SpongeBob.

"I'm not quite sure... But, I'm sure it's far from over..." Said SpongeBob.

Japan, Unknown PLF Base, Lab:

In a lab filled to the brim with different machines and technology, the smartest man in the world Plankton was running on a treadmill with a 40 pound dumbbell in each hand. He wore green pants and a white tank top as he ran on the treadmill. Despite his short size, he was very fit and muscular.

All the while on the side of the lab his wife Karen sat on the side as she carelessly scrolled through a magazine with a bored expression on her face. As she scrolled through her magazine, she looked up to see her husband working out.

"Aren't you supposed to be building that doomsday weapon for Shigaraki? With how horribly he treats his own complexion, its scary to think what he'll do to you if he's actually angry." Stated Karen.

"Relax, Karen. That walking case of extremely dry skin doesn't scare me. Plus, I'm ahead of my work. I have everything still as according to plan." Stated Plankton confidently.

"If you say so..." Replied Karen carelessly as she flipped a page of her magazine and heard the door to the lab swing open. She looked up as she saw Shigaraki, Toga, Dabi, Re-Destro, and Trumpet who walked into the room.

"Speak of the devil, here are your 'partners'." Said Karen before looking back at the magazine and the villains walked up to Plankton who still ran on the treadmill.

"So, what's the deal? I'm guessing you didn't come by to pop a few bruski's and watch some football. So what is it?" Asked Plankton in a somewhat mocking tone as he reached forward and pressed the off button on his treadmill.

"I thought you were supposed to be building my weapon, not working out all day." Growled Shigaraki as Plankton stepped off of the treadmill and placed the dumbbells to the side.

"Working out is it's own reward you know... So many people are obsessed with their fancy and powerful quirks that they forgot the best power of all... Real human effort." Said Plankton as he flexed his right bicep as it bulged. "See that? No super strength quirk. No muscle enhancing quirk. Just good old hard work."

"What the hell are you even talking about?" Asked Shigaraki impatiently.

"I'm just saying, people rely too much on their quirks. They forgot real human effort and the marvels of a normal human. No shining biological gift, just pure will. Now that's the right way to move up in the world. Not be some kind of 'perfect' hero running around in leotards. So foolish..." Said Plankton dismissively as he walked over to a barbel that was laying on a nearby mattress, as he picked it up and started lifting it.

"And yet, you have a quirk too..." Said Shigaraki as Plankton continued to perform his exercises with the barbell.

"Yes... That's true. But mine is purely mental. And as we all know, brains ALWAYS beats brawn." Said Plankton with a smirk.

Sheldon J. Plankton, Quirk: Genius

The user has the Genius IQ of 300 that makes the user wickedly smart. SCARY smart.

Plankton dropped the heavy barbell before lifting it again.

"Uhh... We really don't want to push, but... You DID promise us a doomsday weapon. When will it be ready?" Asked Re-Destro with an overly friendly smile.

"You are all so annoying... Don't worry, I'm working on it. It should be done in two to two in a half more months..." Said Plankton casually as Shigaraki became visibly infuriated.

"TWO MONTHS!? That's not good enough! When I agreed to this partnership, I expected immediate results!" Growled Shigaraki as Plankton dropped his barbell in a hostile act.

Clang!

"To explain it to any of you, it would be like trying to explain three years of advanced quantum mechanics college classes to a toddler. The way this machine operates and the time it takes to design it is so advanced it will just fly over your heads. Just wait, and you'll rule over all of Japan." Said Plankton with a smirk as he placed his hands on his hips.

"We're also here because of your failure at the docks." Said Shigaraki as he crossed his arms. Already Plankton has at least heard about it.

"Oh, right. It might be a small delay in the plan. But Man Ray's sonic machines already did what they were designed for and made the Rock Bottomites spread fear and panic, along with getting me the pieces of technology I needed to complete my doomsday device." Said Plankton dismissively.

"We don't want the heroes on our trail! We need to stay in the shadows! We don't want another battle like what happened back in the hospital and the old PLF base..." Said Shigaraki as Plankton walked over to a punching back and started hitting it.

"I usually leave all that to Karen. She already infected the police and pro hero computer data bases with viruses. It's gonna make their jobs and investigations much more difficult. Plus, she downloaded everything the police and pro's knows about the PLF. Along with some info we can use against them." Said Plankton as he paused hitting the punching bag and looked back at his wife.

"In fact... Karen, mind giving our good friend Shigaraki here a paper of all the info you gathered?" Asked Plankton as Karen sighed in annoyance before getting up and walking over to Shigaraki.

Karen's computer and robotic like features clicked and beeped, before a paper printed out of her head like a copy machine. She pulled the paper out and handed it to Shigaraki.

Karen J. Plankton, Quirk: Computer

The user can do anything a computer can do. Including being partially mechanical, hacking, printing, making precise calculations, and much more.

Shigaraki scanned the paper and saw that Plankton was telling the truth. It had all the information the police and pro heroes had on the PLF and other secretive and vital information the police and pro heroes can be used against them.

"Hmm... I guess your group isn't completely useless after all... But I still want that doomsday device done as quickly as possible. I want to end this charade with these idiotic heroes as soon as possible." Growled Shigaraki as he folded and pocketed the information.

"Trust me Shigaraki, we both want the same thing." Said Plankton before looking back at all the piles of different machinery behind him. "But, with the removal of the Rock Bottomites on such an early basis, I'm going to need more pieces of advanced machinery to help me complete my device..."

Just as Plankton finished his sentence, the door slams open to reveal two figures as they walk in. One is a very small and wimpy looking man that resembles a stereotypical nerd. The man has green skin that resembles that of a pickle with big cock bottle glasses, a white button up shirt, brown pants with overalls, and pale yellow tentacles on the top of his head that heavily resemble a crown.

The second man was the polar opposite. A very overweight man who wore a orange tanktop that barely fit him and a pair of dark orange pants. He also wore a pair of thick glasses, had a neckbeard, and was eating an incredibly large and greasy burger. All the while eating loudly and obnoxiously as grease dripped on the floor from the burger and his lips.

"Uhh... What is it, Mr. Plankton?" Asked Kevin in a nervous voice.

"You two, DoodleBob, and a few others are going to mount a heist on the Fujin Tech main lab. They're going to have the top grade parts I need to complete my device. You succeeding in your mission is crucial for my plans to succeed. And since DoodleBob is currently busy right now, your going to inform him about the mission as everything is organized." Said Plankton.

"Uhh, I don't think so... Neither of those two quite match my elegant yet sophisticated style. Besides, grunt work like that is beneath me. I am much more suited for higher jobs." Said Bubble Bass as arrogantly as possible as he took another bit of his extremely greasy burger and splashed some grease on Kevin.

"Ugh! Watch where your spilling that grease your overgrown blob!" Yelled Kevin as Bubble Bass looked down at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't speak geek, Hahahaha!" Laughed Bubble Bass as the two continued to argue as everyone else in the room looked at the two with annoyed looks on their faces.

"Wow, I didn't think it was even possible for a low class villain to look even more pathetic then they already are. Sad." Said Toga in an annoyed tone as Kevin and Bubble Bass still argued.

The two continued to argue until...

Zzzap!

The two villains froze as they saw a green blast of energy wiz by their heads. The two looked behind them to see that the wall behind them was completely disintegrated. Looking back, they saw Plankton standing there with a disintegration gun in his hand as the barrel smoked.

"Argue like that again, and I will get rid of you and find someone else who can do the job better. Understand?" Asked Plankton in an intimidating voice as Kevin and Bubble Bass looked at Plankton with sheer terror in their faces.

"Oh! None at all! Sorry Mr. Plankton!" Said the two in unison as Plankton lowered the disintegration gun.

"Good, now get moving!" Stated Plankton as the two turned around and started to walk out the same door they came in. But as they did, Bubble Bass took another bite of his greasy burger and splashed more grease on Kevin.

"Will you cut that out!?" Growled Kevin as both left the room.

"Uhh... What the hell was that thing?" Asked Dabi as Plankton looked over to see that Dabi was pointing to the disintegration gun in Plankton's hand.

"Oh, this old thing? Please, I just invented the disintegration ray in my sleep. Not even the morons in the military built something this advanced yet. I'm just THAT good." Said Plankton with yet another confident smirk before pocketing the disintegration ray and walking over to drink some water from his water bottle.

"Now, if you gentlemen have nothing else to tell me, you can take your leave." Said Plankton as he took a sip of his water bottle.

"We do actually have one thing..." Said Trumpet as he took a step forward. "From what we've managed to dig up, we found out a few pro's and students of UA high school were responsible for sealing away Rock Bottom. But the main one responsible for it was some snot nosed brat named Bob Hillenburg."

Pfffffffffff!

Plankton immediately spat out his water before looking back at Trumpet, as he tried to contain his laughter. "Hehehe, sorry, can you say that again?"

Japan, Hero Academy, Heights Alliance:

The front door to Height's Alliance opened up as a fully healed SpongeBob, Tsuyu, Izuku, Bakugou, and Shoji walked in as all of Class-1A looked over in shock and surprise as they ran over.

"Hey! You guys are back!" Yelled Kaminari as the majority of 1A ran up to the group of five.

"Yeah, are you guys okay?" Asked Ojiro.

"We saw the news, something about monsters from the ocean..." Said Mina.

"But we also heard that thanks to you guys, they won't hurt anyone any more! Wasn't it scary?" Asked Mineta.

"Please! I made some angel food cake for you guys when you got back. Try some!" Said Satou as he held a plate of angel food cake.

"Woah, thanks a lot everybody! Sorry about worrying you all, but we're fine." Said Deku as he scratched the back of his head nervously.

"You MUST quit scaring us like that!" Said Iida as he slid in out of nowhere and scolded SpongeBob and Deku. "Do you have any idea how scary it is to know our classmates are fighting villains and monsters!? It's not fun you know!"

"Iida, it's fine. We're all just fine. We're learning how to be heroes after all." Said Shouji reassuringly.

"Yeah, you don't have to worry about us. It was honestly scary, but we made it out alright." Said Tsuyu as Iida looked back up at the two and took a few steps back and bowed his head with an ashamed look on his face.

"Dang it! I'm supposed to be student body president! But I'm acting like any regular dullard! My sinsceriest apologies!" Said Iida as he bowed profusely.

"Hey Bakugou, the news said it was pretty crazy out there. You alright?" Asked Kirishima as he, Mina, Sero, and Kaminari looked over at Bakugou who silently glared at them.

"Nothing..." Said Bakugou as he brushed past the kids and started walking away.

"Hey, you just got back! Don't you wanna hang out a bit?" Asked Sero.

"No. I'm going to bed..." Growled Bakugou before walking out of side.

"Any who... What was it like out there!? I mean, we're no strangers to fighting villains, but you guys fought monsters!" Said Tooru excitedly.

"Actually, they're called the Rock Bottomites. And all of them have some kind of sea creature based quirk, and they were really scary..." Stated SpongeBob admittedly.

"Oh, you mean like the Shadow Over Innsmouth?" Asked Kaminari as everyone stopped talking and immeditally turned to Kaminari with shocked expressions.

"What did you just say?" Asked Jirou in surprise.

"... What? I read books." Said Kaminari.

"... No you don't" Replied Jirou.

"Anyway, it was scary alright. They actually swarmed the boat. There was only us, a few pro heroes, a few sidekicks, and a few crew members... But there were THOUSANDS of Rock Bottomites. And really, it's all thanks to SpongeBob over here." Said Deku as he gestured to SpongeBob who looked over at Deku with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Oh... It really wasn't much. I just-" But SpongeBob was cut off by Tsuyu.

"He saved us all. He swam to the bottom of the ocean and set off a series of explosives. Sealing up those monsters forever and saved us all." Said Tsuyu as many of the kids looked at SpongeBob in amazement.

"Woah! I can see why you were reccommeded to study abroad here." Said Mina.

"Yeah, seriously your just like Deku. Only a completely selfless hero would do something that risky just to save a bunch of people!" Said Uraraka as SpongeBob and Deku both blushed.

"Honestly, it was kinda stupid... But that's why I came all the way here. To get smarter and better at doing this. Next time, it won't be anywhere near as reckless!" Said SpongeBob as he pumped his fist in the air as the rest of 1A started to cheer for him.

"Oh yeah, by the way... I got in pretty big trouble and I have to do chores for about a week." Said SpongeBob as he gave an embarrassed smile. Before suddenly taking out a large trash bag out of nowhere and holding it out.

"So, bring me all the trash in your rooms! If I can't be the best student, I'll at least be the best cleaner! I'll be the best cleaner in the world AND PROVE MY WORTH!" Yelled SpongeBob enthusiastically as he held open his trash bag.

"Excellent, Robert! Just make sure to learn from your mistakes!" Exclaimed Iida.

"Woah! So much determination! That is so MANLY!" Exclaimed Kirishima as all the kids immediately ran to their dorms and came back with various sized trash bags.

After everyone in Alliance Heights gave SpongeBob their trash, SpongeBob sat his massive trash bag down and was about to tie it off. But before he did, he heard an aggressive voice that stopped him in his tracks.

"Hey! Super soaker!" Yelled an angry voice as SpongeBob looked up to see Bakugou was walking up to him with a trash bag in one of his hands.

"Oh, hey, Bakugou. I thought you said you were going to bed." Said SpongeBob with a slightly nervous smile.

"I gotta get rid of my trash before it stinks up my room, IDIOT!" Growled Bakugou as he dropped his garbage in SpongeBob's trash bag. But as Bakugou turned around and was about to walk away.

"Wait, Bakugou. Before you leave, I just wanted to say... Thanks back there for defending me. Honestly, if you and the others didn't hop to my defense back there, Aizawa would've probably sent me back to the states..." Said SpongeBob before allowing a moment of silence to stay in the air and let the statement sink in.

"I know you probably still don't like me, and that's fine. I know you'll make a great hero once you graduate." Said SpongeBob before Bakugou turned around and grabbed SpongeBob by his collar and lifted him off the ground.

"Don't over think it, loser... I only defended you because I want you to see that no matter how hard you try to become a great hero... You'll NEVER be better then me! And I'll always be there to put you in your place! Just like that bastard Deku..." Growled Bakugou as SpongeBob struggled to hold back laughter, causing Bakugou to get much angrier.

"ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME!?" Roared Bakugou.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's not out of disrespect, Bakugou. But... You just remind me so much of my co-worker, Manward. Manward is really similar to you. He usually acts very grumpy and miserable, but I can still tell that he's a great guy with tons of potential to be great. Just like you, Bakugou." Said SpongeBob as Bakugou's expression of rage turned to annoyance before letting SpongeBob go and walking away.

"Yeah, whatever..." Growled Bakugou before leaving and SpongeBob shot a kind and knowing smile at him.

Japan, Hero Academy, Teachers Office:

"It's starting to look like it isn't just hysteria anymore, Earl. We found out that several sonic machines were around the docs, unleashing high frequency sound waves to control the Rock Bottomites. And there's some kind of computer virus on the main secured heroes database and the police database. It isn't just coincidence any more. Their here." Stated the deflated form of All Might as he spoke to Mermaid Man via video chat.

"Hmm... I hoped it wasn't true. But things like this don't just happen out of nowhere. First things first, we need to find out what their doing in Japan and what their planning." Stated Mermaid Man.

"Well, even though the police and pro databases are trying to deal with this virus, the sonic machines we've recovered are strikingly similar to Man Ray's machines. So at the very least we know Man Ray is involved. But it's still unknown if he's the leader, or who the other members even are..." Replied All Might.

"I'm sure several of my rogues are without a doubt part of the syndicate, but I have no idea who else might be apart of E.V.I.L." Stated Mermaid Man.

"Worse yet, we believe that they might be in kahoots with the Paranormal Liberation Front. As you've no doubt already heard, they are the most powerful villain organization in Japan. Perhaps even all of Asia." Stated All Might as Mermaid Man let out a sigh.

"Your right. I've read the reports, and the disastrous raid that occurred when the pro's and police tried to stop them for good. I've still got my hands pretty full here in the Bikini Bottom, but if things start to get really bad over there I'll be in Musutafu City before you know it. And finally tear out this evil weed by the roots." Stated Mermaid Man as All Might chuckled to himself.

"What is it?" Asked Mermaid Man in a confused tone as All Might simply waved his hand dismissively.

"Oh, nothing. It's just... I can see where your student gets so much of his vigor from now. I'm guessing you've already heard of his heroic act when dealing with the Rock Bottomites?" Asked All Might as Mermaid Man nodded his head.

"Yes, I have. His teacher Aizawa told me. A part of me feels proud for the boy for acting like a true hero and saving everyone while sealing up Rock Bottom. While another part of me wants to clock him for putting his life in danger and being so reckless." Admitted Mermaid Man.

"Yeah, I've been there too. When my student showed up at Kamino when I explicitly told him NOT to. I gave him a Texas Smash to his face." Said All Might as he and Mermaid Man shared a friendly laugh over video.

"So, besides that recent incident, how has Robert been doing?" Asked Mermaid Man in a concerned tone.

"Oh, just fine. The aura of positivity that kid has is insane. He's already made friends with every other student in Class-1A. Accept maybe another student named Bakugou, he was the kid with the explosive quirk at the UA festival. But you could honestly say the same thing about Bakugou with any other student in 1A, even the entire school. Your student is practically the same as my student, Deku. Selfless, kind, a bit geeky and naive, but still has a good heart. And I'm already planning how I can assist him in his training." Stated All Might as Mermaid Man smiled and nodded.

"Hm, very well then. I better get going back on patrol. Keep me updated about the situation and Robert's progress, Toshi." Said Mermaid Man.

"Can do. See you later, Earl." Said All Might before both signed off the video chat and leaned back in his chair with an exhausted sigh.
