The time came for Leonidus and Yaoyorozu to square off against Shota Aizawa. Momo walked behind Alyx with with a nervous look on her face. He looked behind him and saw her face as she looked to the side, Leonidus held her hand as they walked through the urban-like area.
"Hey, we got this." Alyx smiled.
Momo looked at him and nodded, "Right."
"Awwww! That's adorable! They're holding hands!" Mina squealed.
As the two continued through the urban area, Leonidus stopped in an alleyway, he looked back at Momo.
"So, what's the plan? We need to get to that exit, I'm not sure if we can capture Mr. Aizawa." Alyx asked.
"Well... I think... Um... I think we should create some sort of distraction, his eyes are his weakspot, so maybe we can do something about that?" Momo suggested.
"My eyes aren't as weak as you think, kids." Aizawa suddenly spoke.
Shota flung his capture weapon out towards the two of them, Alyx pushed Momo out of the way before she could get wrapped up.
"Go! I'll be fine, just formulate a plan, if not... Then get outta here without me!" Alyx shouted.
Momo nodded before hurrying out of the alleyway, "Was it really wise of you to do that? With me holding you here, she could've struck me."
"That's exactly what you were expecting, wasn't it? It would've been a good idea if you weren't prepared for it!" Leonidus replied.
In the distance, Momo stopped to catch her breath after finally finding the exit, it stood several meters in front of her.
"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘥𝘰? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘥𝘰? 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘈𝘭𝘺𝘹 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘵... 𝘔𝘳. 𝘈𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘸𝘢 𝘩𝘦'𝘴..." Momo thought.
"𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚, 𝑴𝒐𝒎𝒐." Leonidus' words echoed.
Momo recalled on her past training sessions with Alyx, both of which had shown each other different fighting styles.
"𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒊𝒕, 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒖𝒔! 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐..." His words continued.
"...Is just breath..." Momo thought aloud.
Yaoyorozu took a deep breath in to clear her thoughts, she hurried back towards Alyx with a new plan in mind. Shota still held Leonidus firmly in his capture weapon, he spread out caltrops to prevent Alyx from moving forward.
"Shades pretty nice, don't you think?" Aizawa grinned.
"It's a little breezy, I picked a pretty nice spot, I did it for a reason." Alyx smirked back.
Alyx stepped forward and took a breath in, "𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘪𝘵'𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴!

"𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨... 𝘛𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘮... 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘍𝘭𝘶𝘹!" Leonidus thought.
His right arm slipped out of the capture weapon, a fierce water dragon rushed off of his arm, Alyx slammed it down onto the ground as Aizawa jumped away from him.
"Thanks for wetting my eyes! I was just about to-" Aizawa called out.
Dolls that looked like Momo flew into the air, Aizawa retracted his capture weapon to block them from hitting him, only to trigger a flashbang effect! Leonidus dove into the air, he grabbed Aizawa's capture weapon, then chucked him away from the two. Momo stood next to Leonidus with a bo staff in her hands.
"He won't be seeing for the next five minutes, we need to take advantage of that, Alyx!" Momo told him.
Leonidus stood in his fighting stance, "Right! Let's go!"
The duo ran towards Aizawa, his eyes were closed but he readied himself to fight, Alyx jumped into the air with handcuffs in tow. Shota slung his capture weapon out towards Leonidus, it wrapped around Alyx's waist. He quickly chucked the handcuffs over to Momo before Aizawa threw him to the side. Aizawa hastily sent his capture weapon towards Yaoyorozu, she narrowly ducked it as she darted towards him. Shota shot his eyes open which caused Momo to slightly hesitate.
Alyx was suddenly right behind Aizawa in the air with his leg reeled back. His eyes were completely blank, seemingly void of anything whatsoever, they were slightly shining an ice white! Momo pulled Shota out of harms way, Class 1-A watched as Leonidus' kicked missed Shota's head, but took out the right side of the Urban-like area. Everyone's eyes widened with shock as they saw the damage that Alyx did with one kick.
"H-He just leveled that entire field with just one kick?! Is he trying to kill Mr. Aizawa?!" Kirishima exclaimed.
Alyx landed back down on the ground facing away from the two of them, his now thin Overdrive aura slightly flashing in and out, Shota was visibly stunned at Leonidus' power. He looked over and noticed that a power pole was knocked over towards where he threw Alyx.
"𝘑𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘳, 𝘐 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵'𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨? 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘎𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘛𝘸𝘰 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭!" Aizawa thought.
The heat he resonated began to melt the concrete he stood on, Aizawa took advantage of the situation and tried to subdue Leonidus himself. Yaoyorozu looked on with confusion at Alyx. Shota threw his capture weapon towards Alyx but somehow missed!
"Woah, how'd he miss? He's standing still!" Izuku remarked.
Aizawa landed back down on the ground and hopped away from Alyx. Leonidus slowly turned around to face his homeroom teacher. For the first time, chills went down his spine as Leonidus made eye contact with him. Alyx walked towards Shota, he activated his Erasure Quirk, everyone gasped as Leonidus' weak looking Overdrive aura stayed around him!
"𝑵𝒐𝒘." Leonidus telepathically told Yaoyorozu.
She looked down at the handcuffs before standing up to her feet and running off. Aizawa threw dozens caltrops at Alyx's feet hoping that it would stop him. Leonidus nonchalantly walked through the caltrops as if they weren't there at all! He stood still as he stared Aizawa down. His Overdrive suddenly shot outwards as high as the eye could see! He held his hands out then did a circular motion as Overdrive gathered in his hands. Alyx put his hands to his side as the ground below him shattered into thousands of pieces. Right before he fired it off, Aizawa felt something wrap around his wrist.
Alyx's Overdrive aura suddenly faded as heavy amounts of steam rose from his body, his arm stayed at his side, Momo and Aizawa stood there in silence as Leonidus stood unmoving.
"H-Hey, we did it, Alyx! T-That was some good distraction!" Momo nervously smiled.
"𝘐-𝘐... 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦..." Leonidus relayed to her.
[Several Minutes Later...]
Sato held Alyx like a cardboard cutout as they stood there and watched the next test. Leonidus' right arm suddenly slumped downward, startling Sato.
"Woah! You alright, Alyx?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just got back feeling in my right arm! It'll take a while before I get feeling throughout the rest of my body though." He chuckled.
Sato plopped him onto the ground and watched as Leonidus made a blade of Overdrive, he sliced clean through his wrist, cutting off his hand to the horror of his peers.
"W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Hagakure and Mina squealed.
He restored his hand by healing his entire arm, then proceeded the move both of his arms at the same time.
"I just had a hang nail, that's all." Alyx informed them.
"You know, you're one dramatic person, man." Kirishima told him.
"I'd rather be dramatic than some other form of personality type, one I'd classify as 'Katsuki Bakugo', Kirishima." Leonidus replied.
"And if he were here right now you'd probably be paralyzed permanently." Jiro added.
Leonidus nodded with agreement, "You would most definitely be right, Jiro."
The exam went on, Momo looked over at at Leonidus as most of their classmates gathered around him, asking him how he was able to move that quickly.
"𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘵, 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘴?" Momo thought.
"You two are rather fond of one another, no?" Tokoyami spoke up.
"O-Oh, I-I... We are indeed! Well, just as colleagues, or well... Friends, that's I meant, Tokoyami!" Momo quickly responded.
"Hmph... You know, I've been wondering where he gets his strength. Notice how he's said he was hesitant when it comes to battle? But yet in Aichi, what happened in Southern Musutafu, the U.S.J., and here as well, there's something about him that sparks that courage. Perhaps it's similar to a quote from a novel I've read: 'Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.'" Tokoyami continued.
Momo recalled the warm smile he gave her earlier, "Yeah, perhaps it is, Tokoyami. That would be a most logical assumption. Also, that wouldn't be from a romance novel, would it?"
"W-Well... I..." Tokoyami stuttered.
Momo slightly giggled as Tokoyami looked to the side, not saying a word to her. After an hour, the Final Exams had concluded and Aizawa disclosed the results to the students. He informs them about the upcoming summer training camp and those that failed the exams would be pushed harder during training. As the class was dismissed, Hagakure suggested that they should all head to the mall to prepare for the trip.
"I'd love to, but I gotta watch my little sister tonight, my parents are going out for the night." Leonidus politely declined.
"Well, we'll see you around then, bro! Regardless I guess being that we're going to that training camp." Kaminari smiled.
Leonidus nodded, smiled back, and waved as he left the classroom. As he left U.A. for the summer, he flew off towards home, as he did he suddenly fell unconscious! Alyx dove out of the sky and landed hard into a nearby field. Alyx opened his eyes and found himself in the Seventh Plane, however, it was pitch black instead of it's usual white void look. He sat up and looked around him, keeping his guard up in case it was some sort of villain's Quirk.
"Mikaboshi? What's going on?" Leonidus called out.
He got no response, the eerie silence continued as he walked through the Plane, he started to hear whispers of varying voices all around him.
"𝑯𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆..." A voice echoed.
"𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒎... 𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒎... 𝑵𝒐..." Another whispered.
"I don't like the feel of this... Not at all..." Alyx muttered.
He came across what seemed to be an empty chair, a bookcase, and a bed. Leonidus noticed how dilapidated they looked, he tensed up as he felt something phase through him, the man sat down on his bed and stared at the floor.
"𝘞𝘩𝘺... 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘮? 𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦? 𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴..." The man's voice echoed.
Leonidus waved slowly at the man who was now looking right at him, but it was like he wasn't there at all. Alyx heard a knocking behind him, suddenly two robots entered the room.
"How many times do I gotta fucking tell you, there ain't no Quirk-Ridden here, got it?" The man fumed.
Leonidus caught a glimpse of the bearded man's face, his eyes began to widen as he saw who was underneath the hood.
"T-That... That's... Me?" Alyx perplexed.
"Mandatory weekly inspection is required by Lord Shigaraki, regardless of whom or what they are. Now, please, stay still while we scan you." The robot officer replied.
He spread his arms out as the robot scanned him, after the brief scanning, the robot nodded at the other one and they left to search for "Quirk-Ridden" individuals.
"What's going on? This is the guy who's been trying to reach me but... That's me? Lord Shigaraki? Quirk-Ridden? What is he talking about?" Leonidus pondered.
Leonidus walked forward and pressed his hand against the other Leonidus' back. It rippled as his fingertips touched his back.
"Woah... Freaky..." Leonidus remarked.
He noticed that the other Alyx was standing there, frozen in time, a door suddenly slammed open causing Leonidus to jolt out of fear. There was nothing but white light emanating from the doorway. Alyx covered his eyes as he walked towards it, the light serenaded and blinded him as he walked through. He opened his eyes and found himself in his room. His bedroom door opened and his Mother walked in with a smile.
"Finally awake? You've been out for quite a while, sweetheart, a Pro Hero brought you here but didn't say a word to us. He looked awfully familiar, he had a scar on his left eye, not to mention one hell of a beard!" Marie greeted.
Alyx chuckled at what his Mother told him, "Really? Sounds like an interesting guy. It really does..." Alyx remarked.
"I was wanting to tell you something, I got an invitation for two from Melissa to this I-Expo event! Your Father wanted to go with you, but he said he had meetings and such to attend. So, whadda say, you wanna take a trip with your dear old Mom?" Marie beamed.
"Y-Yeah! That'd be awesome! But wait, I thought the I-Expo was still in development?" He agreed.
"I guess they're allowing early access? Either way, it should be fun to get out of the house, you know?" Marie replied.
Just then, the invitation that Marie had gotten burst open, a small display of an island appeared in the middle of the room.
"𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰! 𝘔𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘥 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥, 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐-𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦!

Marie picked up the invitation and shut off the hologram display. She read over the invitation once more, making sure she didn't miss anything.
"Well, kiddo, looks like we've got a plane booked for... Today..." Marie read aloud.
Marie and Alyx looked at each other without saying a word, the two immediately rushed around, packing things left and right.
"WHAT TIME IS IT?!" Leonidus shouted.
"SIX FUCKING THIRTY!!" Marie shouted.
"ᶠᵘᶜᵏ" Alyx muttered.
The two finally finished packing up and ran out the door. Marie quickly started the car then peeled off towards the airport. After nearly running every red light possible, they finally arrived at the airport, but watched as their flight took off.
"Ah, motherfucker! We missed our flight!" Marie huffed.
"Actually," Leonidus smiled, "I might have a wild idea!"
Alyx moved his bag to the front of him and knelt down a bit, "Alrighty, hop on, Mom! This might be a bit of a bumpy ride, but it beats walking!"
Marie blinked a few times as she stared at her son. Little did they know just how much of an adventure this trip would be for them!
