Beast's Forest

Mika double checked her stuff in her luggage and made sure she forgot nothing, *I think I got everything for training camp.* she thought. Mika sighed, *But I can't believe that we have to tell lies.* she thought with worry.

Before the trip, Mr. Aizawa told them they were going to a different location after they told their parents they would go to a location parents were comfortable with.

Mika sighed and pulled her bag out of her room. Before Mika could leave, Saburo and Yuma were at the door, "You prepared for training camp, kiddo?" Saburo asked.

Mika nodded, "I believe I got everything for it." she said. Yuma smiled, "*Take good care, dear.*" she signed; Mika smiled and nodded, "I will." she said. Both parents hugged Mika, making her return the hug.

After Mika left her home, she was outside the train station and started walking towards the school. After Mika got away from the crowd, she turned around and saw Koji with his luggage.

Mika smiled and waved to Koji, "Hey Koji." she said; he smiled and waved back. When Koji caught up to Mika, he kissed her forehead, "How are you?" he asked.

Mika smiled, "I'm great now that you're here." she said, "You ready for the trip?" Koji nodded, "We better hurry or we'll be late." he said; Mika nodded as they headed towards the school.

(Time Skip)

After Mr. Aizawa's speech, they put their belongings in their designated bus. The students in Class 1-A got to meet the students in Class 1-B.

"Huh? Some students in Class 1-A are getting extra lessons? Does that mean some of you failed?" the boy with blond hair, Neito Monoma, said, "That's so weird! How does the superior class manage that! Wow!?"

Before Neito could say more, the girl with orange hair, Itsuka Kendo, karate-chopped his neck and grabbed his shirt collar, "Sorry." she said as she walked off.

Mika was relieved and looked at her other classmates. Mika noticed Ochaco's face was very red when she was near Izuku and quickly backed away, *I wonder what's wrong with her?* she thought.

"Hey Mika!" Mika turned towards the voice and saw Mina. Mika smiled a bit and waved, "Hey Mina." she said, "You excited for the trip?"

Mina nodded, "Heck yeah! It'll be great! Getting to do some awesome stuff, like fireworks and curry night." she said. Mina grinned a bit, "And, truth or dare." she continued in a teasing tone.

Mika sighed on the inside and nodded, "Yeah, it'll be fun." she said smiling. Before Mina could say anything, they heard a whistle and turned to Tenya, "Everyone! We're about to leave for the trip!" he shouted, "Line up and enter the bus!" They nodded as they entered the bus.

(Time Skip)

Mika sat next to Ochaco and looked out the window. Mika smiled and turned to Ochaco, "This'll be fun." she said, "I don't know how long it's been since I went camping."

Ochaco looked like she was in deep thought. Mika tilted her head, "Ochaco?" she said as she poked Ochaco's arm; she jumped a bit. When Ochaco turned to Mika, she calmed down, "O-Oh! S-Sorry Mika, did you say something?" she said.

Mika got worried, "Are you alright?" she asked. Ochaco scratched the back of her head, "Y-Yeah, I'm fine." she said. Mika stared at Ochaco, "You sure about that?" she said, "You don't seem like you're you."

Ochaco sighed, "Well, there's something that's been bothering me." she said, "I don't know, but lately... there's been something stirring in my heart." Mika tilted her head, "How so?" she asked.

Ochaco blushed a bit, "Well... whenever I'm near Deku, my heart races." she whispered. Mika nodded, "I see..." she whispered, "Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you have a crush on him." Ochaco's face got redder, "W-What!?" she shouted, but not loud for the others to hear.

Mika nodded, "A friend of mine had those similar feelings." she said, "They weren't sure what they should do with them, but they've kept it a secret for a while."

Mika looked down, "However, their feelings were eating them up when they were next to the person they loved. They weren't sure what to do, but they somehow managed." she continued, "It sounds like you have similar feelings like my friend."

Ochaco got worried, "What should I do?" she asked. Mika had her hand on her chin, "Well... you can either tell him how you feel or you can keep it a secret like my friend." she said, "If you aren't prepared to tell him how you feel it's fine, but you might regret it at some point."

Ochaco nodded, "I understand, but-" the bus stopped, making her look forward. Mika looked forward, "Looks like we're at our destination." she said.

Mika stood up and turned to Ochaco, "Whatever you do is your choice, Ochaco." she continued, "But, your secret is safe with me." Ochaco nodded, "T-Thanks Mika." she said as she tried getting rid of her blush. Mika smiled and left the bus with the others.

(Small Time Skip)

They stood on a dirt area with a barricade and looked at the forest view. Mika looked around and saw a black car, *Why do I have a bad feeling about this?* she thought with worry.

Some of them wondered why they stopped here or where Class 1-B was, "Do you honestly think we came here to stretch?" they turned to Mr. Aizawa.

The doors to the black car opened, "Hey there, Erasure." they heard a woman's voice from the car. Mr. Aizawa looked at the car, "Long time no see." he said as two women got out of the car.

Mika was completely shocked, "Is that-" they stood in front of them, "Your feline fantasies are here! Say meow." the woman with burgundy-red hair wearing a red outfit said.

"Purrfectly cute and catlike heroes." the woman with blond hair wearing a blue outfit said. "We're the Wild, Wild Pussycats!" they shouted in unison.

Some were confused, "These are the pro heroes you'll be working with at the summer training camp, The Pussycats." Mr. Aizawa said. Izuku explained what The Pussycats were known for to the others, but Mika was too star struck that everything around her went silent.

Koji looked at Mika and tapped her shoulder, making her come back to reality and turn to him, "*Are you a fan of theirs?*" he signed. Mika smiled and nodded, "They're an incredible group of heroes known for their mountain rescue missions." she said.

Mika pointed to the woman with burgundy-red hair, "And my favorite one, Mandalay, is standing right in front of us!" she shouted. Mika smiled and jumped in place, "It's almost like I'm dreaming." she said; Koji smiled a bit at her excitement.

Mandalay looked at the forest behind the barrier, "This entire area is our territory." she said, making them turn to her. Mandalay pointed beyond the forest, "And the camp you're staying at is at the base of the mountain." she continued. "That's far." the students said.

Mika had her hand on her chin, *Then why are we all the way up here?* she thought, *Unless... Oh no.* Ochaco looked at Mr. Aizawa and back at the others, "Then why did we come up here in the first place?" she asked.

Some of them got worried when they knew what's happening and slowly turned around, "It's 9:30 in the morning right now." Mika turned to Mandalay, "If your quick enough, you might make it there by noon. And kitties that don't make it there at twelve-thirty won't get to eat lunch."

Mika's eyes widened and was about to run towards the bus, but Pixie-Bob was already near it, "Sorry kids, training has already begun." Mr. Aizawa said.

They saw Pixie-Bob lift her paw-glove and tap the ground. Once the glove touched the ground, the dirt dragged the students and launched them over the barricade.

Mika was quick enough to land on the ground like a cat, "Damn... I didn't expect that." she said lowly. Mika smiled and giggled a bit, "But getting to see Pixie-Bob's Quirk in person was awesome." she continued.

Mika stood up and wiped the dirt off her school uniform, "Hey! This area is private territory, so you can use your Quirks!" she looked up and saw Mandalay at the barricade, "You've got three hours to reach the campsite on foot, but can you get through the Beast's Forest!"

When Mandalay was no longer at the barricade, they turned to the forest, "The Beast's Forest!?" Izuku shouted. "It sounds like a name out of a board game." Denki said.

Eijiro nodded, "Either way, we have no choice." he said; Minoru ran into the forest to find a place to pee at. However, Minoru stopped when he saw a creature on all fours with tusks in front of him.

They were shocked, "An actual beast!" Denki and Hanta shouted. Minoru stood there scared before he had a weird and relieved look on his face.

As the creature raised its hand, Koji ran towards it, "Calm yourself, creature!" he shouted, "You don't want to hurt him!" The creature did not listen as it swung its hand.

Izuku was quick enough to get Minoru out of the way before the creature slammed its hand on the ground. Mika noticed small bits of the creature fell off of it. Mika turned to Koji, "That's not a real animal!" she shouted, "It's Pixie-Bob's Quirk!"

Mika saw Tenya, Shoto, and Katsuki sprint past Koji. Shoto used his right side and froze the dirt clod in place, while Tenya and Katsuki destroyed its arms.

Afterwards, Izuku punched the clod in the face, destroying it. They walked towards them, "That was amazing!" Mina shouted. Eijiro turned to Katsuki and smiled, "Nice job, Bakubro." he said. Katsuki looked forward, "We're not done." he said, confusing some of them.

Mika activated her cat's eyesight trait and through the dark forest. Mika saw another dirt clod with wings fly up, "There are more dirt clods up ahead." she said, making them worry.

Mina looked around, "What do we do? Do we run?" she asked. Rikido looked around, "It's not good, if we don't make it to the camp we won't get to eat anything." he said.

Momo nodded, "He's right, we need to find the shortest route and get out of this forest." she said; most of them nodded. Tenya looked forward and nodded, "Alright... Let's go Class 1-A!" he shouted. "Yeah!" they shouted.

After some of them went their separate ways, Mika stretched her arms and legs, *This will be interesting.* she thought. "Mika." Mika turned around and saw Momo along with Koji and Mina, "I'll need your help." Mika nodded, "Sure thing." she said.

They were in a different part of the forest; Mika looked at Momo, "What's the plan?" she asked. Momo turned to Mika and Koji, "I need you two to be distractions for the dirt clods." she said, "Once you two got some of them close to this area, Mina will use her acid to immobilize them."

Momo pointed to herself, "Then I'll create a cannon and shoot them down." she continued, "Think you two can do that?" Mika nodded as she transformed into a monkey hybrid, "Yeah, just leave it to us." she said as she slammed her fists together.

Koji nodded in agreement; Momo nodded as they walked ahead. After they were a suitable distance away, Mika turned to Koji, "It might be best if we split up." she said, "It makes it easier to lure in one creature at a time if we're in separate areas."

Koji nodded as they walked towards different areas. Mika climbed up a tree and looked around, "Where are you, dirt clods..." she said lowly.

When Mika looked forward, she saw a weird tentacle coming towards her. Mika jumped out of the tree before the tentacle grabbed her and landed on something.

Mika sighed in relief, "That was close." she said; she heard growling, making her freeze up a bit. Mika looked down and saw that she landed on a dirt clod's head with tentacles under its mouth.

Mika let out a nervous chuckle and scratched the back of her head, "Well... isn't this something." she said. The dirt clod tried grabbing Mika with its tentacles, but she jumped and landed on its arm, "Missed me, ugly." she said with a big grin.

The dirt clod tried swatting Mika off, but she jumped and landed on the ground. Mika turned to the dirt clod and stuck her tongue out, "You got to be quick to catch me." she said as she sprinted away.

The dirt clod followed Mika; she grinned a bit, "Good... now to lure it to the others." she said to herself. Mika spotted a few birds up ahead, "That must be Koji's Quirk." she said lowly. Mika spotted Koji commanding birds against a dirt clod already immobilized, making her smile a bit.

As a tentacle reached out to Mika, she quickly dodged it and turned to the dirt clod while running backwards, "Try to catch me if you can, slowpoke!" she shouted as she stuck her tongue out.

When Mika looked forward, she saw Mina sprinting towards her with one arm up. Mika smiled as she raised her arm up and they high-fived each other.

Mina looked at the dirt clod, "Take this!" she shouted as she got acid on the dirt clod's leg, immobilizing it. "Everyone, get down!" Momo shouted.

The girls crouched down and Koji did the same once he stopped using his Quirk. They saw cannon shots hit the dirt clods, destroying them. Mika smiled and turned to Momo, "Great job, Momo!" she shouted.

Mina nodded and gave Momo a thumbs up, "Yeah! That was amazing!" she shouted. Momo nodded, "We still have more work to do." she said, "Let's keep it up." They nodded and continued doing the same strategy.
