Following the sound of the large explosion, Ben arrives at an arena.

"Whoa, what is this place?" Ben asked as looked at the peak of the faux mountain which was covered in smoke.

"Clear time, 33 seconds!!" a female announcer announced. "8th Place!!"

The smoke clears, revealing a grinning Eijiro Kirishima.

"Kirishima?!" Izuku exclaimed as he arrived at the arena.

"You know this guy?" Ben asked.

"Yeah. He's a classmate of mine at UA High." Izuku replied.

"UA High? You mean that fancy school in Japan that pumps out powerful pro heroes?" Ben asked.

"The very same." Izuku replied.

"Oh, I see...You guys are hero course students!" Ben exclaimed.

"Good job on figuring that out." Devlin replied as he's joined by the rest of the group.

"Don't just run off on your own like that, Ben! You're in an unfamiliar place in a completely different time period." Kai said to Ben.

"Fine, fine. What is this place anyway?" Ben asked pointing to the arena.

"This is the Villain Attack Obstacle Course." Melissa replied.

"An obstacle course, huh? Sounds like fun! I'm so taking a shot this!" Ben said excitedly.

"Now, the next challenger is...!" The announcer announced as Katsuki Bakugo entered the arena.

"K-Kacchan?!" Izuku exclaimed.

"Looks like you'll have to wait your turn." Ken said to Ben who scoffs in response.

"Now, Villain Attack...Ready? GO!!" The announcer announced.

Katsuki releases explosions from his palm and propels himself into the air. One by one, Katsuki destroys the robots of the obstacle course; climbing to the peak of the faux mountain.

"DIE!!" Katsuki yelled as he destroyed the last robot.

"Die?" Ben thought to himself as he witnessed Katsuki destroying  the last robot.

"That's amazing!!" The announcer announced. "He cleared it in 15 seconds!! He's in first place!!"

Katsuki lands at the center of the arena heroically with a smirk on his face.

"Hey, isn't that Midoriya?" Kirishima asked Bakugo as he pointed to the audience stands.

Katsuki immediately jumps on to the railings and begins yelling at Izuku.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Katsuki yelled.

"Stop that, Kacchan!" Izuku replied as he backed away from the mad bomber. "People are watching-"

"SO WHAT?!" Katsuki interrupted.

"Stop that, Bakugo!" Tenya said to Katsuki as he got in front of Izuku.

"Why is that guy angry for no reason?" Ben asked Ochako and Kyoka.

"He's always like that." Kyoka replied.

"It's fated battle between men!" Ochako added.

"Kirishima, did you receive invitations to the expo, too?" Momo asked the red haired boy.

"Nah. Jeanist received invites. Since the big man couldn't attend he sent Bakugo as his representative. I just came as Bakugo's plus one." Kirishima replied. "Using guys gonna try that obstacle course?"
