"Mighty protective of that badge for someone who doesn't even want it," The girl snapped. It was true that she didn't want to become a hero, but she had to get through this schooling program. She had to get in...meaning that she had to beat this bitch down. The anticipation to do so was killing her. "The fuck are you doing here if it's not to be a hero... You're wasting my goddamn time, is what you're doing. Guess I was wrong." "Think what you want, pipsqueak." Misu groaned while rolling her shoulders. "I don't really care." "Can't believe I thought you were-" Misu had been in enough school yard brawls to know where this was going. She couldn't have telegraphed her demeanor anymore, but she somehow did. "WORTH ANYTHING!" As to be expected, there was now a fist heading straight for her side. "Your funeral, kid." The punch looked dangerous, as it displaced Misu's steam with the sheer wind pressure. Misu's muscles pumped themselves full of steam power, as the punch landed firmly in her side. It hurt a bit, seeing as how there weren't many muscles on the side of her abdomen, but there wasn't much she could do about it now. She had to stay focused on the kick that was headed straight for her head. Her muscles may be able to take a swift blow, but her head was the most exposed part of her body. Her quirk couldn't do much to save her up there. However, to reach the girl, the brat would have to hike that leg high into the air. It was the perfect chance. Misu ducked, narrowly avoiding the swift kick, and retaliated with a sweep, amplifying the muscles in her calves to make sure it hurt. Misu loved to fight, and she had been in too many to count, so keeping her cool was her best trait when it came to a fight. However, this brat seemed to totally lose it when fighting. When her sweep finished, Misu returned her leg to her center, using it to explode up. With a steam powered arm, she launched an uppercut near any body part within reach. At the slightest sign of impact, a large explosion of steam would erupt from her fist. When Misu breathed out, some more steam escaped from her mouth. This fight was already starting to make her feel thirsty. "You know," She started, "You don't seem much like the hero type yourself." A smirk started to trace her face, as she looked at the girl. "I mean...you're in such a hurry to lose that medal of yours." With the goading now done, Misu took a step, digging the ball of her foot into the ground, and dashing off with explosion of steam behind her. She threw her arm out in an attempt to clothesline the girl, not putting as much steam power into her arms. She didn't want to decapitate this idiot. As Valerie and Lesnar found their stride right next to each other, a crystal of ice appeared between the two as if from thin air. From the top of a building, three shadows could be seen, as a slide of ice was made towards the ground. However, one of the shadows opted to jump from the roof, and to the wall of an opposite building, almost using it as another spring board. When he came clearer into view, the monster of a teen stuck out his legs in an arrow like shot at Lesnar. With their attention removed, the other two slid down the ice ramp. "You were right, Pip!" A boy with blue skin commended bounding demon, "With this kind of attack, we're a shoe in for all those medals!" "Although..." the girl next to him spoke up, "I do still kinda feel bad about this...isn't it something a villain would do?" She questioned, hesitantly, as arms began to spring out from the palm of her hand, continuously doing so as they reached towards Valerie. "I ain't a villain! I'm just doing what needs to be done...so I don't end up like one!" The one regarded as Pip rang out. "And what better way to snatch the spots of some uppity Americans!" "Is someone there? ...do you need help?" At the question, the thing perked up. It was as if he had awoken a slumbering creature in it's den. A slight ringing could be heard in Yuudai's head. That's when it could hear a small voice let out. "Ah...your mind...not as heavy...not as...very light...very warm..." The room had functioning technology, which glow with bright greens, blues, and reds. The creature emerged from the shadows, shyly. It's lanky body, and lack of facial features, might have shocked anyone who found the thing. "The word...hero...rattles around in your brain so...so much so...what is a...hero?" The thing asked, almost reaching out to Yuudai.

Cheerful Introductions "Well, now that everyone is here," The white haired man said as he snapped his book shut, the sound echoing through the halls of the prison and the large empty mess hall they were in. "Now, just to recap for everyone, we have...," he waved his hand in the air, and suddenly, a wooden wand with vines and flowers wrapped around it appeared in it. "This is Zirco, the bearer of Right Wing," he said, tapping the wand on the blond boy's head. "He might look rough, but I've been told he's a sweetheart," "Oy, oy, don't touch the hair!" Zirco complained as he quickly scruffed up his hair. The white hair man ignored him and moved on, spinning like a ballerina as he moved to the next person. "This is Natsumi, bearer of the Foot," He said, his spinning coming to a halt as he tapped her shoulder. "It's certainly funny, in a dark humor sort of way," He added, rubbing his chin. "Actually, it's probably more morbid," He shrugged and moved on, tapping Kiyoko on the shoulder. "And here we have the bearer of the Tail, Kiyoko," He smiled before going. "I suppose I shouldn't do my usual bullying, or she'll whip me into shape with that tail," He smiled and moved on, tapping Shannon on the head. "And this is Shannon, bearer of the Head. It seems that knowledge went up to hers, but hey, that's okay," There was a cough from the corner, and Yamada spoke up. "This is fun and all, but don't you think you should tell them why they're here?" She asked. The white haired man held a hand to his chin and let out an exaggerated sigh. "I suppose I could, but, this way is much more fun," He finally stated with a smile. He walked over to Tora, tapping her head with his wand. "This is Tora, bearer of the Claw, and I'm sure she knows how to use them," He skipped over to his next target, pausing before touching her with his wand. Looking at the space behind her, he seemed to ponder on this a bit before deciding against it. "This is Hotaru, bearer of the Left Wing. I'd do a silly pun, but... it seems like he wouldn't appreciate it," he commented as he pointed the wooden stick at the space behind Hotaru. He then quickly recoiled from his spot, like something had lashed out at him. "Okay, okay, I'm going. Down boy, I'm not doing anything else to her," He walked away, muttering something before he went over to Raijin, tapping his head. "This is Raijin, the one with the Body Mark. As you can see, he certainly looks like he could be the body of a dragon," he teased before moving on. "This here is Jet, the one with the Mark of Heart, which he wears on his sleeve, if you know what I mean," he moved two seats over to tap Leiko on the head. "This is Leiko, Bearer of the Wings. Yes, Wings, plural. I'm assuming she has the head wings, because have the butt ones would be weeeeeird," he spun off, stopping by Octavia. "This lovely young lady is Octavia, also a bearer of the heart. We have two them. There's a logical reason for it, but I don't feel like explaining it. I barely want to explain what I do have to explain," He walked over to the final person. "And this, this is Hypatia, bearer of the Mark of the Eye," He said as he poked her forehead. "I... don't many eye puns, I'll admit," he said. He then walked to the front to the room. "And finally we have---," He paused, looking around the room. "Hold on, we seem to be missing someone," He stroked his chin, closing his eyes. "Where is Biggus Dickus, bearer of the Left Nut?" he asked with a completely straight face. "I could have sworn Biggus Dickus was also a success...," He reached into his cloak, pulling out a PDA. "Let's see, Biggus Dickus... Biggus... there we go," He took a quick read, and his expression morphed into one of confusion. "O-oh... he passed on this morning. Died of... well... well then, I certainly didn't think one could die of that. How odd," he put away the PDA and sighed. "Well, so much that...," "So now will you---," Yamada asked before the man waved his hand at her. "Yes, yes, I will, calm down, Hakuna Yamada, I'm on it," He said, to which Zirco let out a snort, doing his best to hold back a laugh. "I like this guy," Zirco let out as the white haired man cleared his throat. "I am known as the Magus of Knowledge, but you can call me Mr. E," he said with a bow. "I will be you new 'handler' as it where. I want you all to rely on me," His tone lost it's playful edge, instead replaced by sincerity. "You all will be faced with more trials and tribulations, so I hope I can help you in any way I can," He then looked up. "Especially concerning love. You're always welcome to receive my consultation," his playful tone returned when he said that. He stood back up straight and smiled. "As for why you're here, well, I suppose you can call this the next stage of your tests," He explained as he folded his arms, tilting his head. "It'll be the hardest thing you all have faced, but I believe in you. You've been gathered here to...," He then smiled and threw out his arms, confetti flying out from his sleeves and filling the air. "have a sluuuuuuuuuuumber paaaaaaarty!!!" He said in a sing song voice as balloons began to fall from the ceiling and very cheerful music began to play. He looked down at the group, smiling as he watched their various reactions. "It may sound like a joke, but it's not," He said as he placed his hands down by his side. "You all will live here from now on, learning how to work together and interacting with people in general," He rubbed his chin. "I know this used to be a prison, but we've converted it into very comfortable dorms for the lot of you. Now, we just have to wait for one more person to show up... any questions until then? And, also, feel free to talk among yourselves. Who knows when Mr. Kaiba will get here?" OOC

Herc looked over to the small (well, everyone was small compared to him) boy that approached him. “Excuse me, mister. . . beetle guy. I’m glad you are one to make this exam more exciting than what it needs to be but hear me out on this, what if we just have a party for those who make it into the hero classes? I mean it is already a competition already, no need to make a forest fire out of bed of coals. However, I can’t stop you from you making it harder than it needs to be, but I wish you luck.” "Whoa, man, Mr. Beetle Guy is my father. Just call me Beetle Man," Herc said with a grin. "Anyways, good luck to you to buddy," "Oh, you're on beetle man!" Suda scratched his chin, grinning. "I'll have to think of a suitable act for you to perform later." Suda turned to the other boy that had joined. He gave him a small frown. "You're no fun" He said, before shrugging. He took another look around him. "Doesn't look like anyone else is takin' the bet." He shrugged. "Guess it's just you and me, big guy." "Alright, sounds good. We'll see ya back here then," Herc said as he began to stretch again. He then heard the announcement, and made a choice. He'd go last. After all, if people were so worried, he should let them be reassured. It wasn't like he couldn't make up for the lost ground. When everyone went through, Herc finally walked up. "I'm your friendly neighborhood Beetle Man!" He jabbed a thumb to his own chest. "Or, you know, you can call me by my name, Herc Coleo," They handed him a badge, which he looked at. Everyone seemed to think it was heavy, but it seemed normal to him. He shrugged and placed it in his pocket. Time to get to work. Thinking to himself, he headed to the city. People probably expected to see a giant bug in the forest, so why not go to the city? He could blindside someone there, at the very least. He didn't run into anyone on the way there... it seemed everyone else had headed deep into the city while he was still on the outskirts. Well, he supposed it could be worse. This slower pace let him notice things... like the giant car pileup not too far from him. That seemed like a good place to hide a badge, right? He got to work, carefully lifting the cars, making sure to lift with his legs instead of his back. It took a few minutes, but he got down to three more cars when he saw a badge under one of the cars. "Bingo," he muttered as he picked up that car. He was surprised no one tried to get this one. Was no one as physically strong as him? He figured super strength would be a basic quirk...

Request has been fulfilled.

7/10 9/10. impressive! OP's suggestion. A wonderful track from a hidden gem of a game. 9/10

Octavia »»————-　♡　————-«« Morning. The sun was starting to rise on the ruins of Hearthome City, stirring gang members to life while the night shift began to wind down. Despair and hope mixed together as people did whatever they had to do in order to survive the 'lawless' wasteland, but for some... There was a hidden side to the city. Deep underground, hidden away from the unruly masses was a testing facility, made to house... Something? And in that deep facility, one room was housed by their test subject... The alarm in the pure white, bland room had started to go off around 5AM, signalling to the girl inside that it was time to wake up. The blankets on the bed shifted around as a small mumble escaped her, her eyes slowly opening up as she sat up, a hand stretching up into the air as her fell down behind her shoulders as she righted herself. She glanced around the room she was inside of, hand reaching up to rub at her neck a little bit as she tried to shake the sleep from her eyes. She stood up slowly, preparing for the day as usual, beginning with a quick clean up, her hands pulling her hair up into place behind her as she did. It wouldn't be long before she was pulled out for a day of testing, a brief lunch, and then even more testing... Honestly, Octavia had never really understood what was going on in this place. She had only been here for a couple of years at this point, and the tasks that she was given to complete often made little sense to her. She would occasionally have to do extremely physical challenges, climbing, running, even a little bit of muscle training for her small figure, but other days she would have to focus on card games. Drawing cards, puzzles that required her to win in one turn, puzzles that required her to defeat a specific card that seemed unstoppable... But were also those strange experiments. Those were often deeply uncomfortable and not without a little bit of pain, she was glad those were done. They seemed rushed, the scientists were always rushing around her as she fluttered in and out of consciousness during them, as if they were afraid she was going to die on them. The more she considered it, the more it seemed like a reasonable concern, that first year had been a hell... But she was taken care of, otherwise. She had a safe...ish place to stay, she was fed, often more than she could handle after living out in the streets of Hearthome for so long, and she was given the chance to exploring her cards. It wasn't her best deal, but at least she wasn't entirely ripped off. And even though she wasn't sure why the experiments stopped in frequency after the first year, she was just starting to get used to the pain that accompanied them after all, now each one was as if the pain was being experienced for the first time... They seemed pleased that this strange mark had appeared on her just barely a month ago, a heart-shaped mark around her wrist. but they didn't want to explain anything about it to her, they only cared about starting the next test. With the final touches to her appearance, getting dressed with her usual hoodie and jacket combo, and a quick brush to her teeth before a loud knocking occurred at the door, right on schedule. "Octavia. Today we're doing something a bit different, you're going to be meeting with the others like you. Your time here is likely over now." The handler brushed her hair behind her ear as she waited for a response... She blinked for a moment as she glanced up at the taller woman in front of her, Alexandria. She had never been particularly close to her, but she was the one person in the establishment that actually talked to her as if she was a person. The fact that she was supposedly leaving the lab should've been the thing to grab her attention, but... "Wait, others?" "Come along, I'll answer what questions I can after the scientists do a few last minute check ups. They want to be absolutely sure there's nothing at risk of going wrong. It'll be short." »»————-　♡　————-«« Short was one way to describe the tests, but another would've been annoying. Nothing was outright painful this time and the scientists seemed to be keeping to a strict schedule as the test was done in less than twenty minutes. The biggest test seemed to be taking some blood for future purposes, but it was a speedbump in her learning more about what was about to happen. Alexandria escorted Octavia out of the lab to the ruined city of Hearthome, and a wave of memories hit Octavia all at once. She took a little glance around the rubble of the back street they were on as she thought about her life here, a little frown on her face as she let out a little sigh. "Where are we going?" Alexandria motioned for her to follow, guiding her around the bend of the building to a small car that she opened the back door to, "Satellite. There's business there that must be attended to. I'll be driving you there myself. We have to leave early to avoid any gang activities." Octavia nodded as she stepped inside of the car with little argument, settling into the back seat behind Alexandria quietly as she scooted to the opposite side of the driver's seat. The car began to move, and the ride started... "What exactly are we doing there? You mentioned that there were others like me..." Octavia watched as the hands tightened on the steering wheel, before a small sigh came from the front of the car. "I did say I would answer a few questions... But yes, I have heard that you weren't the only one experimented on this way. I don't know the exact number, but you'll be meeting them today." Octavia nodded her head gently as she looked up at the roof of the car, thinking about what the others might be like. Hopefully they wouldn't be too hard to get along with, hopefully they would be more sociable than the scientists were, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully... But before long another question popped into her head, "...Isn't Satellite a prison district?" Her hand gripped at the car seat as she asked that question, surely... "It is. What they want you all there for, I don't know. When you get there, be respectful." The rest of the car ride was spent in silence between the two of them, Octavia's nerves building as she confirmed her suspicions. It wasn't exactly confidence building to know where they were heading, but with nowhere else to go it wasn't like she had a choice. The two of them sat quietly until the car finally pulled up at their destination, and Alexandria opened the door to let Octavia out of the car. She motioned for Octavia to follow her down the halls of the prison complex coming to one last door between them and their destination, before speaking up, "...You've done very well. Remember your lessons and keep growing, and you'll be fine. No matter what anyone throws at you." Alexandria turned and walked away from Octavia before even waiting for a response... And she was alone. »»————-　♡　————-«« She braced herself against the wall next to the door for a moment as she took a deep breath, preparing herself mentally for whatever was about to come. She stumbled for a moment as she pushed herself away from the wall, but without any hesitation she opened up the door and walked inside, taking a quick glance around the room at the gathering of people. Her first instinct was to try and make herself small to avoid being noticed, but... "Uh... I'm Octavia Hayes. It's nice to meet you all." She bowed her head down to the group, before making her way to the table her hands diving back into her hoodie's pockets. She made her way to the table and took a seat next to a girl who... Almost certainly spent at least an hour in the bathroom getting ready in the morning, if that outlandish appearance was anything to go by. The group was... An odd one, to say the least. Some of them looked like they were actively angry about this, some looked... Entirely disconnected, while some were perfectly fine with what was going on. Octavia... Could only sit in confusion as she waited for a little bit of clarification on what was even happening here...

Don't take this the wrong way but I want to grow up to be your mom.
