"Gentle, this is bad...we haven't taken a tea break in a week, now...Are you okay?" She asked while peeking over the table as Gentle was working with papers and a laptop in front of him.
"I am." He responded to her as she scurried off to fetch tea for him. "La Brava, unease and dissatisfaction toward heroes are growing nowadays. It is because they a truly feeble minded. It's obvious they are well prepared for a situation they can predict. But what they lack...Is resourcefulness when faced with the unpredictable. In other words, they have low crisis awareness. Deciding to keep the cultural festival open in this period of time is a testament to that." He explained to her.
"But hold on, Gentle. Will you involve the kids that will become future heroes? What will happen if you do!?" She asked eagerly waiting for an answer before Gentle suddenly broke out in laughter.
"La Brava! That's a wake-up call!! Due to my invasion, the little hatchlings will grow stronger again!!" He laughed like a douche as La Brava keeled over in amazement.
..................................
"La Brava! This time around, I will...Proudly put my life on the line! For the entire world. For the people. For my dreams. And in response to...Your love!!" He declared to her as she broke down and cried while tackling him to the floor.
"GENTLE!!" She sobbed out.
"La Brava!" He laughed as he fell.
"I LOVE YOU...! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, GENTLE CRIMINAL!!" She sobbed while holding him tightly.
"I do, too, La Brava. I am...going to succeed...No matter what...!" He promised her as they laid on the floor.
..................................
"I guess you two are done." You spoke up to make your presence aware as the two shot up and glared at you.
"Who are you?!" La Brava yelled as Gentle stood in front of her.
"You're the villain who was part of the group that killed that Chisaki fellow. What is it you want?" He asked you.
"Why, I'm just here to coordinate with you, Gentle Criminal. You see, we both wish to enter U.A. during the festival, it just so happens that our plans clash in timing, so I'd like to come to a compromise." You said as you stepped forward and Gentle pushed La Brava back a bit.
Gentle waved his hands around in front of him as he activated his quirk and you saw a distortion in the air. You walked straight into the distortion as it suddenly stretched.
"Gently Rebound!" He yelled as you felt pressure pushing against you like the air was trying to bounce you back and he smiled before gasping when he saw you just stood there.
"A truly remarkable quirk, but your power could not compare to my level of strength." You said as you shattered the distortion of air that held you back and unleashed your energy in the room. "Now then, as for who I am, if you remember the super villain, Super Buu, that's me but I've taken over an incredible body to match my power needs." You said as you increased the pressure of your energy.
The two of them both fell back as you raised both your hands and two pink globs of flesh flew out from your arms and wrapped themselves tight around them.
"Agh! Gentle!" La Brava cried out for him.
"Release us!" He struggled before you emitted an energy ball in the palm of your hand and aimed it at La Brava.
"If you deny to listen to my proposition, you'll be cleaning her off your walls for the next few months." You said as La Brava gasped and looked scared.
"Alright! Alright...!" He said as he spoke lowly this time. "What is it you wish to speak of? Just do not hurt La Brava...Please..." He said with his head down.
"Gentle--!" The girl was cut off when the flesh holding her covered her mouth and you stood in front of Gentle.
"Hush, the grown ups are talking now, shrimpy." You said to her before looking at Gentle.
"What are you gonna do to us?" He asked as you walked back a few feet.
"Now then...Here's how it will go..." You said while chuckling as you explained your plan to him.
..................................
"You're the guy with that routine, right...?" Midoriya asked him as the two of them stopped walking.
"Dont blame yourself, Gentle! We couldn't help it! But now!!"La Brava looked at Gentle for what to do as he stopped and began to take off the face mask and sunglasses he was wearing as Midoriya began to put down his bags.
"Hey, what are you doing? What the hell are you on about?" Ryu asked in annoyance as he was completely confused on what was going on.
"Whatever could you mean?" Gentle asked while taking off his mask and grabbing the collar of his overcoat.
"I've seen your video." Midoriya told him.
"La Brava, get the camera ready." Gentle told her as Midoriya got serious real quick.
..................................
Just then, a bolt of pink lightning crashed in between the two of them as Ryu glared at it for a second before suddenly transforming.
"Ryu-kun?" Midoriya called him as Ryu took off his uniform jacket.
"Midoriya, you stop these two. I'll deal with him." Ryu ordered him.
"With who...?" Midoriya asked before gasping when the bolt of pink lightning disappeared and in its place you stood up. "Y/N-kun...?" He muttered as you remained silent.
"I told you I'd crush you...You've just sealed your fate! HYAAA!" Ryu yelled as he flew forward towards you.
Just then, Gentle jumped in your way and Ryu crashed and stopped mid-dash as a distorted wall of air that was like plastic stopped his attack.
"Gently Rebound!" Gentle said as he blew back Ryu right towards Midoriya.
"SOMEONE STUPID GET IN MY WAY!" Ryu yelled as he crashed into Midoriya and the two rolled back.
..................................
"Agh...Midoriya, you chase the two idiots with the camera. Don't let them get to U.A." Ryu said to him as Midoriya stood up.
"What about you? We're not anywhere near a hero office, and it'll take time before back up gets--!" Midoriya was cut off when Ryu held up his hand.
"Don't you remember? I'm on equal grounds with Y/N. I won't let near U.A...Go, now!" Ryu yelled as Midoriya was hesitant at first, but nodded as he dashed towards you and you and Ryu stared each other down in the middle of the street.
..................................
"This is the end, Super Ryu." You said to him as he grabbed onto your mask and began to squeeze and cracked your mask.
..................................
"FINAL SHINE....ATTACK!!!" The person yelled as they fired a massive green energy beam.
You covered yourself as the attack was unavoidable and there was a massive explosion. Once the smoke cleared the person of light saw that you were in a weakened state and that your body was quivering with burns and cuts all over you.
"Y-You're...Me...!?" Ryu gasped as the person who looked like him raised his hand towards you.
..................................
"Where is the other jewel shard?" The other Ryu asked.
"How the hell should I know? Those bastards went through my mail while I was training!" Ryu said in annoyance as the other turned towards U.A.
"Just great..." He muttered before hearing a loud crash and the two of them turned towards the direction of a building that was under construction. "Before we do anything, let's help him out first." He said as he flew towards the building. "Just great...Now we have to find a needle in a haystack..." He thought as he flew towards the fight that was happening at the construction site.

Back To The Story
..................................
With Midoriya
After Midoriya followed Ryu's request to chase after Gentle Criminal and La Brava while he left you to him, he chased the two at full speed and caught up to Gentle. Midoriya tried catching up and grabbing him, but Gentle suddenly jumped up and reached down to touch the ground as his quirk kicked in again.
"Gently Trampoline!" Gentle yelled as he hopped over his trap and Midoriya fell right into it and went flying into the air. "When I was a student...I poured my heart and soul into school events. You probably have those sentiments as well right now, but this old beard and spirit of mine will not be denied today. This mission will inspire a story for the ages." He said as he stared up and dead into Midoriya's eyes. "I would appreciate it if you did not interfere!!" He scolded Midoriya as he and La Brava took to the skies using his quirk. "Farewell, oh sparkle of youth!!" He yelled as he and La Brava bounced away.
"Gentle, I remember now!! That kid is Midoriya Izuku-kun!! That crazy boy that fought by destroying his hands at the sports festival! And with him was Ryu Shiozaki-kun!! The one who ALMOST blew up the sports festival!!!" La Brava said as Gentle grew a terrified and shocked look.
"What madness! We shouldn't get involved with him!! We must accomplish the mission before they pursue us any further!" Gentle said as they moved with haste.
As Midoriya flew up in the air and spun upside down, he remembered the words that Gentle told him when he talked about the cultural festival.
"You probably have those sentiments as well right now..." His words lingered in his mind as he remembered all the effort that was put into the festival from everyone.
Flashback, Play
"Deku-san...You're leaving already?" Eri asked as Midoriya knelt in front of her.
"Sorry, I've got practice." Midoriya apologized to her as Mirio spun around in circles.
"On the big day, after Midoriya-kun and Ryu-kun are done, the four of us should wander around again!" Mirio said cheerily.
"Deku-san, Lemillion-san." She spoke as Midoriya looked at her with a smile before growing a stunned look when she gave an actual, emotion-filled smile. "I'm looking forward to it." She said.
Flashback Over
Midoriya smiled wide as he stared at Gentle and began to aim his hand at him as he wore the new support gloves that Hatsume gave him the same morning before they left.
"This old beard and spirit of mine will not be denied today." He remembered the words Gentle used as he reminisced about how hard Jiro and everyone else was trying for the festival.
Flashback, Class 1-A Communal Area
Jiro approached Midoriya who was eyes deep, scribbling in his notebook when she called to him.
"Midoriyaaa." She called him as he turned towards her.
"Huh?" He hummed as she came next to him.
"Whenever you scribble furiously in your notebook, how do you organize it?" She asked as Midoriya was stunned and misunderstood the question.
"JIRO-SAN, YOU HAVE A HERO YOU ADMIRE TOO!?" He asked in excitement as she waved her earphone jack in front of him.
"Nope. I just meant how you, like, condense your notes. I always try to make the more important points easier to read. But if there's too much to write, I can't really condense it." She said as she handed over her notes and he was stunned from the amount of information that was inside.
"Advice to all the members...!? You wrote all this...!?" He said as the notebook was filled page after page with different notes and advice for everyone's part. "Amazing! Everyone will be so happy...!" He said as he made her smile from the words he said.
"I do it just to her someone say that. I always worry that people will call it a useless hobby...So I sort of go all out." She said with her fist up and a smile on her face as they both heard something snap and saw Bakugo broke a drumstick again.
"TOKOYAMI!! MAKE YOUR SOUND MORE DISTORTED, YOU BIRDBRAIN!! YOU THINK YOU CAN BREAK THOSE U.A. STUDENTS' EARS WITH THAT SHITTY RIFT, HUH?!?" Bakugo yelled in fury as Momo was shocked and Tokoyami turned to Jiro who came over.
"What does he mean by distorted!?" He asked frantically.
"Tokoyami, he's talking about lesson 3." Jiro said as Tokoyami instantly opened the advice book and began to read hastily.
Flashback Over
"GENTLE CRIMINAL!!" Midoriya yelled as he aimed his hand at him and focused his strength as Gentle turned back to look at him slightly. "Before he lands!! I have to stop him!! Calm down!! If I panic, I'll miss. Before he lands!! I have to stop him whichever way I-..." He cut himself off when he remembered Mina's words during rehearsal.
"No, Midoriya! How many times do I have to tell you!? In the middle of your movement! In that moment! Take hold of your senses!" He remembered Mina scolding him as he did just that and focused his power behind his right middle finger and held it back by his thumb before releasing it and flicking it forward as there was a huge release of air that came from his gloves. "DELAWARE SMASH!!!" He yelled as he went flying backwards but the air force created by him struck Gentle Criminal in the back.
"An air gun!?" Gentle grunted as he regained his balance and continued to try and escape. "No matter, that is not enough to stop me!! I will not be discouraged!!" He thought before turning around and seeing Midoriya bounce at an even faster speed and jump and grab him.
"For the entire world, for the people, for my dreams, And-...THESE SENTIMENTS I HAVE ARE SHARED BY EVERYONE!!" He yelled as they flew towards a construction area for a new building.
"This youth...How disrespectful!!" Gentle thought as they crashed into the empty building structure.
Meanwhile, With You (Or Buu rather)
You were high above the clouds watching over the people and everyone down below as you crossed your arms and grinned as you were waiting for your time to strike.
"Yes, once Gentle Criminal and La Brava infiltrate the school, it will be my chance to strike fear into the hearts of the innocent people. Not only that, but I'll finally be able to rid myself of that pestering brat, Ryu Shiozaki. He's the only one who stands in my way..." Buu spoke to himself before suddenly gasping as he felt a rise of power in himself.
He glowed a bright gold color before it suddenly dissipated and he returned to normal and hid his energy.
"Wh-What was that...?" He thought before realizing and suddenly began to chuckle. "Haha...Hahaha...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YES!!! YESS!!! FINALLY!!! IT'S FINALLY COMPLETE!!!!" He yelled in joy as he stared at his hands. "Finally, I've absorbed and taken that brat's energy. It's all mine...! ALL MINE!!!!!" He laughed joyously before grinning. "Which means..." He trailed off as he shined a bright white light.
After the light had died down, it revealed that he was still in his same form, but in his hands he held you up in his face as you were unconscious.
"I won't be needing you anymore...Have fun being a nobody, Symbol of Hope." He laughed as he descended to a lower altitude.
Once he was low to the point of being just above a few buildings, he tossed you down in an alley where you landed on top of a dumpster and rolled down to the ground. The shock from the crash triggered you to gain consciousness as you groaned and held your left side in pain. Buu grinned as he returned back to the sky and you rolled onto your back as you stared up at the clouds.
"I....have to warn....them...!" You groaned as you rolled back to your knees and pushed yourself up.
You got up on your feet but stumbled against the trash can as your vision was blurred and your legs felt wobbly. You pushed yourself off the dumpster and tried to walk forward, only to collapse on the ground once more. As you turned your head to the side, you saw a homeless person staring at you with a scared look. He wore a green overcoat that looked somewhat dirty and a bit torn as he sported a grey shirt underneath, a pair of dirty grey jeans, some old construction boots, and a beanie. He had brown eyes and a grey beard as he stared at you in confusion and didn't know what was going on.
"Y-You...Please...Help me..." You reached for him as he backed away to the wall a bit before getting a closer look at you.
"Wait a minute...I remember watching you on the T.V. outside the T.V. shop during that festival thingy for U.A...!" He said before rushing to your aid. "We need to get you to a hospital kid!" He said as he picked you up and had you lean on him and you shook your head.
"N-No...! You have to take me to U.A...!" You groaned in pain.
"Listen, I know you wanna see your friends and all, but a nurse ain't going to be much help to you...! We gotta get you a doctor!" He said as you glared at him.
"NO!" You yelled as he jumped and you slouched in pain again. "Just...! Please...take me to U.A...!" You groaned as the homeless man stared at you with a cold-sweat before gulping and throwing you over his shoulder as he broke into a sprint.
"Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this...?" The man muttered as you smiled behind his back.
"What's your name, sir...?" You asked him weakly.
"Kazuto." He replied to you.
"Kazuto-san...Thank you..." You said before passing out again from the pain.
"....Um, if you could tell me where the school is, that'd be great..." He said as you didn't reply. "Hello? Can you tell me?" He asked once more as you didn't reply and realized you were knocked out. "Well, I hope people give good directions..." He muttered as he ran up to a pedestrian at a sidewalk and began to ask for directions.
After asking over and over again, Kazuto finally got the exact directions he need and ran as he was carrying you over his shoulder, finally finding the way to go towards U.A. He ran across streets, traveled down different sidewalks and shoved people out of the way in haste to get you help. After running block after block from where he was, he finally saw the skill in sight and booked it towards the entrance. As he slid to a stop, he hunched over from his shortage of and panted heavily as a set of footsteps stopped in front of him.
"Excuse me, sir." The person in front of him spoke up as Kazuto looked up and saw the person in front of him, which surprisingly was your father, Riku.
"I'm working security here for the day, so anyone trying to come in has to talk to me. What business do you have here?" Your father asked.
"U-Um...This young man needs help!" Kazuto said urgently as your father took notice that he was carrying someone.
"Give them to me." He said as Kazuto nodded and took you off his back as Riku noticed your face and lost his breath when he saw you. "Y-Y/N...!?" He said in shock as Kazuto stared at him in confusion before he suddenly took you into his arms. "Let's go! Follow me!" Your father ordered him as he rushed inside and Kazuto followed.
Timeskip
Your father was stood on the left side of the nursing bed you were in as Recovery Girl was sat next to him on a chair and Kazuto was sat near the door.
"What happened? Where did you find him?" Your father asked as Kazuto spoke nervously.
"I-I was just sitting down in an alley way wh-when someone floated down and tossed him onto a dumpster...I-I don't want any trouble, sir." Kazuto spoke shakily.
"You're not in trouble. In fact, I'm in your debt for saving my son. Thank you." Your father said as he bowed his head to Kazuto.
"O-Oh! No! Please, that's alright! In fact, he forced me to come here instead of a hospital." Kazuto explained before the door suddenly flew open and 21 rushed in while wearing the costumes the girls were wearing for the dance.
"Papa!?" She called before seeing him and looking down to see you laying in bed as she rushed to your side. "Onii-chan!" She cried out as she rushed over and held your hand. "What happened?" She asked.
"It seems like Buu didn't need him anymore for some reason. Just tossed him away instead of killing him. Whatever reason, I'm thankful he didn't kill him..." Your father said while staring at you. "Besides that, shouldn't you be getting ready for your show? It starts at 10 A.M., right?" He asked as she looked at you for a moment. "We'll watch him. Don't worry." He said as she looked at you one last time before kissing your forehead and rushing out the door.
As she ran to the gym, she smiled as a single tear fell out of her eye and ran faster towards the others.
"We have him back...! Thank you, God...!" She thought as she turned the corner and ran faster.
Meanwhile, With Ryu
Ryu and the other version of himself both flew away after they checked the construction yard to find no traces of Midoriya or Gentle Criminal.
"What are we doing anyway?" The other version of himself asked.
"We're looking for the beta male. As much as I hate it, I need him back before we go to U.A." Ryu said as he stared back at the other him. "Speaking of which. What the hell do I call you anyway?" He asked.
"As much as it'll shock you, you already know me." He said as Ryu was confused. "I'm Vegeta, your younger brother." He said as Ryu almost choked on air.
"WHAT?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! HOW ARE YOU FROM THE FUTURE!?" He asked in rage.
"When I was created, Whis looked into your family's future and made a copy of me from the future in this time. He explained everything to me and now I need to follow my orders." He said.
"What the hell are your orders?" Ryu asked.
"None of your concern." Vegeta replied. "Anyway, have you locked onto your friends energy yet?" He asked as Ryu pointed to the base of the mountain where U.A. is located above.
"I sense his energy down there. It seems he's fighting someone because there are sudden spikes of his energy at random times. Let's go." Ryu said as he descended down towards the base of the mountain. "Vegeta...The hell you're him..." Ryu thought while clenching his fist.
"I sense two other life energies near him as well. One of them is moving away. You go to your friend, I'll capture the other." Vegeta said as he flew ahead to intercept.
As Ryu descended down towards the ground, he came upon the sight of Midoriya who was badly beaten and being crushed under the weight of air that Gentle elasticized.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ryu asked as he caught the attention of the fighters.
"Ryu-kun!" Midoriya said in shock.
"Oh, no...!" Gentle though before Ryu suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed him by the back of his head.
Ryu pulled his head back before smashing it hard against the dirt ground as it caved under him and Gentle was stunned and released his quirk that pinned Midoriya. Ryu held him down as Gentle groaned in pain and couldn't move.
"What are you doing?" Ryu asked.
"What am I doing...?" Gentle asked.
"What are you doing?" Ryu asked again.
"Trying to fulfill my dreams..." Gentle groaned.
"Thwartin' my plan?" Ryu asked.
"Thwarting your plans?" Gentle asked.
"Are you?" Ryu asked again.
"...Not really..." Gentle groaned.
"...Well good. Glad we're on the same page." Ryu said as he turned towards the bushes.
From the bushes, Vegeta emerged while holding La Brava by the back of her collar as she squirmed around while trying to break free.
Play
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!!" She cried out before turning and crying even more when she saw Gentle under Ryu's boot. "...NO, KNOCK IT OFF...LET HIM GO...!!" She cried out in sheer sadness as she was able to slip from Vegeta and she ran towards Ryu and began to hit him like a child throwing a tantrum. "LET GENTLE GO! LET HIM GO!! STOP IT!!" She cried out as Ryu stared down at her. "GENTLE POURED HIS HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS PLAN! HE EVEN FORGOT TO HAVE HIS PRECIOUS TEA BREAKS PLANNING FOR IT! I SAID LET HIM GO! WHERE IS THE "BRIGHTER FUTURE" IN THIS!?" She kept crying and sobbing as Ryu turned towards Midoriya.
"He wanted break into U.A. and upload it...That was his whole plan...Nothing really serious it seems..." He said lowly as Ryu stared down at the man under his foot.
"GENTLE IS MY ONLY LIGHT!! HE'S MY EVERYTHING! DON'T TAKE GENTLE AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed as Gentle released the tears from his eyes from hearing her heart break and sadness.
"I sense a group moving towards us. I think there is a security team on their way." Vegeta said while looking in the direction he sensed the energy from.
"...Old man..." Ryu started as Gentle stared up at him before he was suddenly picked up back to his feet and Ryu stared into his eyes. "You're lucky I'm in a good mood today. Because I have someone I need to make smile." He said as he dusted Gentle's clothes and gave him a small portion of his energy to take away the pain. "It seems this brat is very fond of you...I...I think you should also do your best to make the one person who cares about you in this world smile..." Ryu said as Gentle teared up before collpasing to his knees as La Brava hugged him and he hugged back.
"Thank you...Young man..." He said weakly as he held La Brava close.
"You two..." Ryu spoke up as Midoriya and Vegeta stared at him. "This was nothing but a harmless prank. If anyone asks, I beat him to crap because I caught him, and I beat you up because your face is stupid." Ryu said as Midoriya was shot down by the insult.
Ryu and Vegeta walked on both sides of Gentle Criminal as Midoriya walked behind them and La Brava was being carried by Gentle Criminal. They all came to a stop when Hound Dog and clones of Ectoplasm came through the bushes and saw them. Ryu and Vegeta grabbed Gentle Criminal's shoulders as he bowed his head to them.
"U.A., I'd like to surrender." He said while holding onto La Brava and letting his tears fall.
"Surrender?" Hound Dog asked.
"...I've seen you somewhere." An Ectoplasm clone said.
"You're that villain that's only quick to run away. A shameless uploader." He said as Gentle put down La Brava and Hound Dog grabbed him.
"Where are your comrades!?" He demanded to know.
"Gentle!" La Brava yelled in worry.
"None." Ryu spoke up as they all stared at him. "He has no comrades. He committed this prank all on his own. It was all him." Ryu said as they all stared back at Gentle.
"My hostile intent has completely dissipated. I've committed many crimes...But the greatest of all...Was the kidnapping and brainwashing of a girl...Who knew nothing of the world." He said with his hands up as Midoriya and La Brava stared at him in shock.
"He's saying this to keep her out of his trouble..." Ryu thought as he stared at the young girl as she cried.
"Therefore, please...Pardon Aiba Manami...!" Gentle begged as she hugged his leg and cried.
"Gentle...!! All for me...! You're wrong, you're wrong! I love you, Gentle!" She cried as he placed his hand gently on her head.
"She's pardoned." Ryu spoke up as he stepped in front of the partners in crime. "Under the name Ryu Shiozaki, prince of--...King...Ruler of the Shiozaki organization. I grant her full pardon of your past doings." Ryu said as the two were stunned by his act.
"You don't make the call!" Hound Dog growled as Ryu glared at him.
"Don't make me go over your head...!" Ryu spat at him as the two glared before Hound Dog backed down and turned towards Midoriya.
"Did you fight him?" He asked as Midoriya was silent for a moment and Gentle looked at him before Midoriya spoke the truth.
"He was trying to pull a prank on U.A. when I found out, we had a small dispute. But...It's...All right now." He said as La Brava cried even louder while hugging Gentle's leg.
"Hound Dog! Ectoplasm C! What's the commotion?" Ectoplasm C and Hound Dog heard a voice from the ear pieces they wore.
"Snipe." Ectoplasm called back.
"Can I have a report?" Snipe asked as Hound Dog stared at the duo and Ryu before growling and replying.
"Just a troublesome video uploader hoping to snag some light." Hound Dog called back.
"I don't understand, either. In anycase, the present situation isn't an emergency. We'll continue to keep our guard up." Hound ended the transmission as he glared at Gentle before dragging him along. "You can explain the details at the police station." He said as Gentle and La Brava turned to leave with them.
"Midoriya Izuku-kun. Ryu Shiozaki-kun." Gentle called them as they stopped. "I, too, was once enrolled in a hero course. I, the "Gentle Criminal," was born out of the despair of hero dropouts. Perhaps it's not my place to say this, but I do hope your feelings can reach others." He told them as they walked off with Hound Dog and a few of the Ectoplasm clones.
"All Might was worried." Ectoplasm B spoke up as Midoriya turned towards him. "Class A starts at 10 A.M., right? Right now, it's 9:16...9:17." Ectoplsam said as Midoriya had a shocking memory of dropping the rope they bought for the show. "Well...From here, it's only 5-6 minutes to get to school, so--!" He was cut off when Midoriya yelled.
"Sensei! Um, excuse me, but I forgot my things somewhere else!" Midoriya yelled before getting bonked in the head by Ryu.
"You forgot the rope!? You idiot!" Ryu scolded him as Midoriya had a teary face.
"Where? Let's go together." Ectoplasm said as Ryu picked up Midoriya and Ectoplasm and they flew off to retrieve the items.
Timeskip, 9:59 A.M.
Ryu broke through the backdoor of their stage and saw everyone standing there waiting for him and Ryu. He wore that all the other guys were wearing, a blazer with ties, nice dress pants, and a vest on top of a white dress shirt.
"Ryu-kun!? What's going on!? Where's Deku-kun!?" Uraraka asked in worry.
"That dumbass is still getting his costume on!" Ryu groaned.
"But we're on in 1 minute!" Mina yelled as Ryu poked his head out.
Ryu scanned the gym and saw that it was really packed inside. What he noticed most of all though was the two people who were front row and staring up at him as he grew a sweat drop at seeing who it was.
"Now then, you said this performance was one to die for, is that right Whis?" Beerus asked his attendant.
"Indeed, Beerus-sama." Whis confirmed with him.
"Well then, I do hope they put on the good show. Otherwise..." Beerus trailed off as he released a purple aura slightly and this made Ryu's heart jump out of his body. "I might have to destroy everything here." He said as Ryu hid behind the curtain.
"Ohh, shit! Lord Beerus...Lord Beerus is here! We're not ready! That dumbass is still changing! I have to buy time or else we're all dead!" Ryu thought in fear before a sickly idea popped in his head and he blushed madly from the embarrassment. "DAMMIT, THIS COULDN'T BE ANYMORE EMBARRASSING! Suck up your pride, and do it!" Ryu thought before walking out on stage and getting everyone's attention.
"What the---Ryu-kun!!" Mina tried to reach for him but he was too far out.
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE LISTEN UP!!" Ryu yelled as he raised his hands in the air. "Before the main event, I shall entertain you on behalf of Class 1-A before the real shows begins! IT'S TIME FOR A BINGO TOURNAMENT SPONSORED BY CLASS 1-B!!!" Ryu yelled.
"BY US!?" A few members of Class 1-B yelled in shock.
Ryu began to dance idiotically as the staging team put on some different music to try and cover him.
P-Play....This Was So Embarrassing...!
After he saw Whis and Beerus leave for more food instead of destroying everything, Ryu sighed in relief as he bought some time for Midoriya to arrive. He looked out into the crowd and after scanning a bit more, he saw Eri in Mirio's arms as she was staring at him with a confused look and his entire face turned red and he retreated back behind the curtains quickly.
"Young Ryu..." All Might pitied Ryu.
"Was that Ryu-san's dance?" Eri asked Mirio.
"I-I'm sure that was just a taste of...what's to come...!" Mirio said to her awkwardly with a smile.
"RYU!? WHAT WAS THAT!?" Mina grabbed him by the collar of his shirt as he was flustered.
"If I didn't do that, we'd all be destroyed!!! You should be mad at that idiot!" Ryu yelled as he pointed to Midoriya who jumped from the comment as he just arrived all cleaned up and ready to go.
"Okay, okay! Forget that just now! It's show time!" 21 said as everyone lined up in their positions on the stage.
As Eri was looking ahead at the stage, a finger tapped her shoulder and got her attention.
"Mind if I join you two?" A voice asked as she turned around.
"Hmm?" She hummed in confusion before seeing the person who tapped her and growing a stunned look when she saw it was you.
"What is it, Eri-chan?" Mirio asked before turning around and seeing you. "Wha--! Y/N-kun!? Is that really you?" Mirio said in shock.
"Buu let me go for some reason. I'm nervous as to why, but I've been told to stay out of anything regarding investigations of the League of Villains and him. I'm just a civilian for now..." You said as you stared at Eri and she had a nervous look. "I must have done something terrible back then...I hope you can forgive me...Eri-chan..." You said lowly while looking down.
Suddenly, you felt a small hand get placed on your head and looked up at Eri as she had a gentle look on her face and stared at your eyes.
