As the summer comes underway, Izuku and his classmates are brought to a training camp. Here, he is met by a boy named Kota who he later discovers is in a similar situation as he was as a child. In an effort to help him overcome his own troubles, Izuku and Kota create an abnormal friendship. Meanwhile, Tashigi tries to figure out what the objective of the Marine Captain Kamada only to come with more questions than answers.

3rd person POV:

As the events of the first day finally came to a close, several of the students began falling asleep in their beds offered by the cat pro heroes. However on the edge of the forest looking over it, a group of villains were watching the camp with suspense. "This is so annoying. THIS MASK IS NOT CUTE AT ALL!" A blond commented in anger as Doflamingo sat on the edge of the cliff they were on watching. "Why can't I have something flashy like Doffy over there!?"

"These are costumes given to us by the black market. Be fortunate that they  work well with your quirk if anything." A kid that looked no older than a high schooler pointed this out while glancing down at the agency.

"I'm getting so bored with waiting around. Can't we just go in and kill them?" A bulky man in an overcoat and mask commented in an impatient manner with the Heavenly Demon laughing.

"Oh my, quite an interesting group. Don't you think, Dabi?"

Dabi didn't answer as he was waiting on a few more people to show up. As he did, a man that looked like he had feminine features and another man in a straight jacket with only his teeth without a form of a bind to restrain him. "Sorry to make you all wait, lovelies. So is this everyone?" The feminine man asked for the man covered in stitches to not answer and simply nod.

"So what's your objective in all of this? From what you're doing, it makes me believe that you gain more with the heroes gone."

"Hehehe. It's a bit of a show if we're being honest. Right now it's more keeping a way to handle Portgas if he were to go out of our expectations. However, there is something I have in mind in case he does the unthinkable and was able to overwhelm me." Doflamingo began laughing hysterically before shouting out into the forest. "Get ready Portgas D. Izuku. For the fun shall soon begin!"

The next day, Izuku POV:

The second day of training came with it being just as intense as the first day. From the lack of rest before the last training day, it probably felt much harder due to the lack of energy reserves. "Keep going, Izuku!" Tashigi shouted at me as I forced more fire into the air before the fire in my blasts turned into weaker firepower. "That was pathetic! Go harder and focus!"

"Right." I blasted more into the blasts before noticing someone come from the forest.

"Meow! He's going really hard." I noticed the person was Pixiebob with her walking over. "Hey, kitten! Tonight after dinner we'll be doing a test of courage! You can be happy to know that you can work hard and play hard after!"

"My playing hard is probably something you'd never expect. You can even ask Tashigi about it." I made a joke at Tashigi's expense with her going beet red before throwing a rock at my head in hopes to get me to stop.

"YOU JACKASS!"

"....I didn't know you were that type of a kinky Captain~. Me-ow~"

"Please don't think that too deep into it." I felt some satisfaction seeing this before blasting another shot into the air.

"Well, that was all I was going to say. See ya later. Don't have too much fun~" I felt a little more fun with Tashigi holding some anger.

"So do you wanna have that fun now or later?" I laughed at this before seeing little Tashigi shouting in rage.

"KEEP WORKING OR ELSE I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU INTO SUBMISSION!" I continued what I was doing before noticing Kota come out of the woods to watch me a bit. I smiled at him and waved before blasting a larger shot of fire into the air as a way to show off a bit to him. He found it kinda interesting to make me happy a bit.

'It's the little things that make me satisfied.'

Later that night

After training finally ended, everyone started dinner with it coming out rather well. Once we were cleaned up, Pixiebob smiled at us before cheering. "Alright. We filled our bellies and cleaned the dishes! Now it's time for..."

"A TOTALLY AWESOME TEST OF COURAGE!" Ashido started cheering with it having Sato, Sero and Kaminari cheer for them. Fortunately, I explained something to Kirishima where he isn't too destroyed over what's about to be said.

"Hold it. It pains me to say, but the remedial lessons students won't be participating in this. I haven't seen as much progress in your training today to merit it." We all saw the color go out of Ashido as she was told this to start shouting and disapproving of what happened. "Alright. Let's go."

"THIS ISN'T FAIR!" She was practically kicking and screaming while being brought away with Kirishima being the only of the few that went willingly.

"Have fun, Portgas bro."

"Thanks. Hope our teacher doesn't kill you with his lessons." They went off with the Pussycats explaining how we were doing this. In short, we were split with class B starting as scarers while class A went around the path in groups of two every five minutes. As long as we weren't touched, anything was fair game for class B to scare us. In addition, the winner will be whichever class can get the most markers given by Ragdoll on the other side of the path. However, Tiger's explanation went a little...

"THE WINNER IS WHOEVER CAN MAKE THE MOST STUDENTS WET THEIR PANTS!"

"Did we need that mental image!?" Kyoka was a little disgusted before Rebecca went a little pale.

"Oh yeah. Since the ratio is off, Ms. Gladiator will be with class A for the duration of the game!"

"...I don't do scary so well." Rebecca pulled away not fond of this as we tried to get her mind off it. Though, something caught my eye for a moment to raise a hand.

"Odd question, but where's Tashigi and braid woman?"

"Braid woman? Oh, you must mean Captain Kamada. Her and Tashigi had to put in some reports, so they're back at camp. For now, just relax and focus on having fun." Mandalay smiled for me to have an odd feeling in me. I couldn't explain it, but something felt...off.

With Tashigi, 3rd person POV:

As everyone from class A and B went to do the test of courage, Tashigi decided to finally do a little digging. She avoided doing it right away to avoid any scare or suspicion being known to Kamada, but with both working on reports, it would make more sense for her to do it now when she'd be less expected. "Ok, let's see here for the roster for Captains." She went on a list of known Captains on duty first just to see if any information on Kamada could be found. Once there, she found her name and started skimming through what knowledge there was on her. "Born in the East Blue....enlisted when she was 16....obtained Captain status at 26....deceased as of 2 years ago?" Tashigi looked at the picture of the Marine captain to notice it was exactly the woman she was with moments ago.

"This can't be right." Now curious, Tashigi looked up the obituary of Kamada to see she did die. Now wanting to see the active status date, she went on a more unique site under Smoker's status. "I apologize Vice Admiral, but this is a somewhat important bit of information I need to find." She found Kamada to notice her active timeline was only for a few weeks to a month at best. "...So if the real Kamada is deceased, then who's-" Tashigi was cut off by feeling something pierce her stomach. She looked down to see a small hole with her coughing up a bit of blood. 'What?'

She fell back with Kamada behind her smirking. "Sorry. Couldn't have you ruin my objective. If it means anything, I didn't want to resort to this. But you stuck your nose where you shouldn't have and if anything, I can blame the fact you were using another Marines authorization to steal information on them if you end up dead." Tashigi couldn't hear anything as she glanced to the side and noticed Kamada pull off a wig and reveal blond hair while also pulling off colored lenses to reveal who she truly was.

"Well, that handles one loose end. Now time for Doflamingo and the League to handle the others." Stussy opened a window and began walking out with a smirk on her face."I think I'll have a little fun tonight." She walked deep into the forest with Tashigi still on the floor struggling to breathe.

'Dammit. I let my guard down.' She struggled to get on her chair to call for help before falling over and dropping onto the ground again. 'I need to warn someone....To think, Buckingham Stussy was here of all places.'

With Izuku

As the events with Tashigi was taking place, Izuku was waiting off to the side with Kyoka who was paired with him during the Test of Courage. There was some satisfaction on her end since Hagakure was given the unlucky hand of being paired with Mineta. Most of the groups had already entered into the forest with everything seeming normal. However, an odd scent as well as fire being lit in the distance had caught everyone's eye. "Hey, did all the fires from your training go out?" Kyoka asked for Izuku to nod.

"That's definitely not from me."

"Hey, what's going on!?" Before anyone could react, Pixiebob was lifted up into the air by an unknown force for everyone to be in shock. The bewilderment was over when they saw the cat pro hero be struck in the head by a feminine acting man slamming a giant magnet into her.

"Oh my, seems we've found some feral cats. I think it's about time we get rid of them."

Seeing Pixiebob on the ground, Izuku watched closely as blood trickled down her head. "You...heartless...." He stormed at the two in rage as his body turned to fire. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER THIS INSTANT!" The anger Izuku felt clouded his judgement. During this, a solid kick to his stomach came by Dellinger who shot him into a nearby mountain.

"Oops. I guess I put a little too much power in that. Hehe!" The half Fishman laughed at this as the group noticed three officers of the Donquixote family came out of the forest.

"Our objective was to capture Portgas D. Izuku. Not kill him." A man with an abnormal outfit on spoke up while Dellinger laughed.

"Sorry Gladius. That's just how it worked~ Hahahaha!"

"Let's just hope that the young master won't be too upset by your goof. And that's goof with a capital G!"

"What the? Who are these people!?" Kyoka pulled back a little in fear as Rebecca explained.

"They're members of the Donquixote family. From right to left, they're Dellinger, Gladius and Lao G. Executives of the family that are just as much dangerous as you'd expect."

"Good thing for you that we're not after you, Rebecca." Tiger went for Gladius for him to dodge and hold his hand out. "Our job is just to stall you while our real objective happens." A massive explosion happened to send the cat pro hero flying back.

With Izuku

Izuku recovered from his hit to stagger a little. "Dammit. Fucking Dellinger." He glanced around to see Kota and a large menacing figure in front of him. He slid backwards slowly away. 'What the?'

"Guess you're not into playing around, kid. Guess I can handle that." The man pulled his mask away to show a serial killer that Izuku knew too well. Muscular. This man was wanted for several counts of murder with one just so happening to be the death of the pro hero duo Waterhose. However, he didn't come out of that fight unscathed as his left eye was gone, leaving a humongous scar on it. "Well then, show me...."

"KOTA!" Izuku went over to activate his flames while coating his body in Haki to make him a furnice to touch while staying between Kota and the villain..

"You're BLOOD-" Muscular stopped mid sentence to confuse both Izuku and Kota. He fell to the ground with his chest bleeding out and showing the hit he had was directly in front of his heart. This ended him fairly quickly for another set of footprints to come out.

"Oh my. It seems he's quite a blabbermouth. I'll just falsify a report in case something can be traced back to you." The source of the voice sent a shiver down Izuku's spine as Stussy showed herself. "Hello. You must be Portgas D. Izuku. Then again, we have met before. Just not in the circumstance of you seeing what I really look like."

Understanding this, Izuku glared at Stussy with a hint of surprise. "So you're Kamada, aren't you. Or, were to be more specific."

"Correct. At least, slightyly. Captain Kamada has fallen in battle some time ago. All I was doing was holding the mantle. Now, I think that's enough talk." Stussy raised her hand up a bit to show her pointer finger aiming at Izuku. "Flying Finger Pistol." As if it was a gun, a force of pressure came directly at Izuku for him to jump out of the way and see a boulder get destroyed.

"I didn't even see a blast. Was that a bullet or..."

"You're aware of the Six Powers, correct?" Stussy smiled while holding her finger up. "You're also aware of the secret seventh, correct?"

"But I thought that was the Six King gun?"

"An understandable misconsception. You see, the Seventh Power changes depending on the person. In someone such as Lucci, it turned into a power similar to that. Mine however, has turned into a long range pistol technique." A blast from another Flying Finger Pistol came at Izuku for it to go directly through his chest. If his power wasn't active and had the hit go through flames, it would've hit his heart. "Of course, I don't think that will be as easily as I'd expect."

Stussy stormed at Izuku with her leg coated in Haki to aim for his head. Izuku blocked this with his forearm, but was sliding back about a foot to get near the edge. 'She's trying to kill me just like lucci. I can't waste time with her. I need to find everyone and help them against the Donquixote Family.'

And that finishes this chapter. See how Izuku handles Stussy next time. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
