I don't understand! Ochako thought as she stared at the Wild Wild Pussy Cats fighting villains in front of her and Tsu. This was supposed to be a safe trip, a fun test of courage. Not a villain attack!

"Ribbit. Uraraka, we have to regroup at the lodge." Ochako didn't want to leave. She had heard Mandalay's instructions but it just didn't feel right to leave them fighting the villains like this.

There was this lizard-like dude with many blades and another man with some metal rod or something. The on the other side was Jester of the Quirkless Rejects and some other girl with cracked butterfly wings. Considering the signature handcuffs, Ochako guessed that she, too, was a member of the Quirkless Rejects.

The purple girl ran up to her but Tsu hopped in the way. "T- Tsuyu!?" she called out but was cut short by Jesterrushing forward. She had to dodge a long blade of his. Using all that she had learned during her internship, Ochako fought the boy. For someone who was younger than her, the villain was sure good at fighting!

Younger than me. The thought cut into her mind. How sad that someone of his age has fallen so deep to become a villain... That moment of distraction was all that the Quirkless Rejects members needed to make their move.

Quick as lightning, Jester and the purple girl switched places, Jester now fighting Tsu.
"URARAKA!" Tsu screeched as she dodged a small knife soaring through the air.

It was too late.

The girl had Ochako in her cracked wings. Before Ochako was able to process what was happening, the girl twisted and she was suddenly spun out like a ballerina from the cage of the wings. A warp gate opened in the path that Ochako was spinning in.

No way... "Ura-!"

She went stumbling through.

Ochako tumbled onto a cliffside, barely catching herself. It took her a moment to reorient herself. Ochako didn't like what she saw when she looked up. On the large cliff stood a massive man in one corner. Next to the mountain stood Deku, two people she didn't recognize, and... Todoroki!? Then, Ochako saw him, the little boy who had blatantly stated his distaste for heroes on their first day at summer camp, Kota, standing in the pathway leading to the cliff.

What's going on? What is happening?

She watched the interaction between Deku and the man, who Deku called Muscular. Kind of befitting, if Ochako was being honest. Wait- Her eyes landed on Deku's arm. That scar... No... OH PLEASE NO!

Muscular's voice cut in. "I was told I could kill but wanted to get a good view for my target and this is what I found. Two prime pickings!" Ochako's head whipped around to face Kota who looked scared out of his mind. Not on my watch! Ochako quickly positioned herself between Kota and the villains.

"Kota," she hissed, "stay back, these two are villains." Deku growled. "Tsk tsk tsk. Uraraka Ochako, am I right? I saw you at the sports festival. While the man to my side may be a villain," his sunglasses turned angry, "I highly recommend that you revoke what you have just called me."

Ochako gulped. No, I can't be scared now. I'm a hero and that means... she looked at the shaking Kota out of the corner of her eye. I have to protect him no matter what!

"Well, well, well," chuckled the extraordinarily buff man. "Deku, some other freaks, a little hero girl, and a little boy." Deku stared at the man, Todoroki, Gavil, and Mary standing tense beside him. "Muscular, why are you up here?" Deku asked. "Shouldn't you be joining the attack in the forest?" The man shrugged. "I was told I could kill but wanted to get a good view of my target and this is what I found. Two prime pickings!"
