Chapter Text
If you asked the girls how they feel at the moment they would all share the same sentiment.
Like crap. It’s a pretty fair response after getting whirled around in a pink tornado like they were strawberries in a blender. They were twirling and whirling like they were on a tilt awhirl that was not approved by the safety department. And just as the ride was hitting unbelievable speeds everything…
STOPS…………. . . . . . . . .
A moment frozen in time. A bubble stolen from the stream of time. As if nothing but this moment exists. Nothing outside this bubble exists. Do they even exist? Outside this bubble does anything exist. Since time is no more, are they even frozen? The existential fear creeps into their bodies. A chilling breath runs down their spines as the tips of their fingers and toes begin to frost over. Everything is over.
Everything…
Everything just… .
Everything just Stops… . . .
And then as if it was always there a creature is at the epi-center of the swirling pink bubble of time. It’s body is a mix of static black and grey, with chunks of red, blue, and green twitching and glitching on its body. It’s head a gaping void that stares… . . . . . .
STARING AT THEM…
Who are they… .
What are they… . .
As the creature opens their mouth… They have a mouth?... Loud static fills their eardrums.
And words they cannot hear yet can comprehend fill their ears, mind, their very soul…

And then as if the world simply blinked. Strawberries in a blender, Spinning…
Spinning… .
Spinning… . .
SPINNING… . . .
Spinning… . . .everything began to spin again.
They lose the feelings in their bodies.
Their bodies are lost.
Their bodies are gone. Their former selves are gone in all but spirit.
And then there’s the pain…
And all fades to black.
…
They wake with a start. One glued to the floor in shock, one sits up at lighting speed, another shakily stands, and the last one picks themselves up and screams. And like a chain reaction they all scream. One scream is particularly loud. Shattering the windows of the buildings they’re in between.
The one whose voice rivals that of a Mezzo-Soprano had milky white hair that looks like the ends were dipped in crimson red paint. They were wearing some kind of sailor uniform with red sweats underneath the skirt.
“What the Fork!” The girl with lime hair and in a school uniform yelled. She froze for a moment, “What the fork. Fork. No, fork. FORK!” In frustration she yelled out and stamped her foot.
The one who’s yell could rival an explosion looked up with a smirk, “Ha, dude it’s like you got a censor on you.”
“Well, I’m forking tired of this shiz already! Donut!”
The other started dying with laughter as her friend let out a string of curses- or what would be curses. This was the only thing that could amuse her as they were in the middle of nowhere.
A girl with pink hair stirred in the background. She sat up and took at her surroundings. Her eyes scanned the two people in front of her in awe. She then looked down at herself. She looked… different?
“You good Nayeli?” The two-toned female asked Nayeli who nodded in return. She felt her shoulder length, pink hair with her hand. She found a diamond shaped hair pin resting on the left side of her head. Not even god could explain to her what was going on.
Another one sat up. Her short white hair with a rat tail fell down her back. As she saw what was in front of her she decided to just lay back down and pretend nothing even happened.
“Tati, please tell me I’m dreaming and this is all fake.”
“Okay, Okay this is fine! Everything is fine! We’ll just retrace our steps”
“And what, a magical pink tornado will come for us a second time?”
The white haired girl piped in “can we all just take a deep breath and silently freak out cause my ears are still ringing.”
The pink haired Nayeli also spoke up “Sure, but first, can we get out of this alley? It’s crusty.”
The girls agreed and began to leave the alley but as they approached the main road they froze at the sight. They were at a market place but the setting was hardly their concern; it was the crowd going about their business. While some looked completely human—even with their colorful hair choices, about a good third of the crowd were part human. Some people simply had animal ears or a tail ,one shined under the sun as if their skin were metal, a shop owner looked to be made of only rocks, and walking by, a police officer with the head of a cat.
The greenette released an exasperated laugh. And turned on her heel and continued her hysterical laughter in the confines of the empty alley.
The white haired one sighed and went to comfort her friend with cat puns.
The white and red haired girl was unabashedly staring, looking quite amused. Nayeli looked towards her best friend and grabbed her shoulders guiding her back to the alley before she ran off and offended people with any probing questions.
The group waited till Tati’s laughing finally died and she stood up from where Eva and her were crouching. With a dramatic twirl she presented the entrance of the alley way. “Welcome to the world of My Hero Academia!”
“YES!” Bailey cheered.
“Aw, why couldn’t we be in Genshin.” Eva mumbled.
Nayeli noticed something from the corner of her eye. She went over and picked up a bag that looked straight out of any high school anime. She noticed that there were four bags. She went through each while her friends were arguing over the best character in the show. She found all of their school IDs but the school was both a familiar and distant remembrance. She decides to share her finding because Tati is about to jump Bailey for arguing that Hawks is cooler than Eraserhead.
“Hey guys, I think I know what happened.” She holds up the IDs and the group looks at her. Tati pauses mid tackle and Bailey stops mid kick.
“Holy shirt we body snatched!”
Eva pipes in “Wait, I've seen a lot of Korean dramas and unless there are people back where we’re from in our bodies then I think this is more of a reincarnation late awakening kind of scenario.”
“But still this is awesome’ Bailey snatches her ID “We have powers, papers, and a super powered world we know everything about to explore with our favorite characters!”
“Yeah, a world going downhill into a future filled with loose S-class villains, no All Might, and a plethora of creepy Frankenstein quirked monsters with a class of first year high schoolers being our strongest line of defense!” Tati remarks.
“Hey, No Manga spoilers!” Bailey demands
“Why don’t we treat this like a fanfiction? We all love fanfictions so if we think of this as our fanfiction, maybe we can adjust more easily.” Nayeli suggests.
The group takes a minute and thinks about it. They wonder what they wish to do with the opportunity presented. Tati wants to interact and be by her favorite characters’ side. Eva and Bailey just wanna fork around. And Nayeli doesn't really know what to do.
According to their ID’s it’s their last year of junior high so they have time before they have to make any big decisions. Tati feels around her pockets and pulls out a pink bear phone case.
“It’s around 4 and today was the first day of school.”
Nayeli looks over Tati’s shoulder as she scrolls through her phone. “But the real question is where we are in canon?”
“There aren’t any articles on All Might being a teacher at UA or of the sludge incident. But All Might’s battle with Toxic Chainsaw already happened.”
Bailey taps her finger against her chin, “So, according to fanfic tropes, we are right before canon. I can’t remember if episode one was on the first day of school or not.”
Eva grabs both her and Tati’s bags then rests her back against the wall, “The anime said 11 months before the entrance exam to UA, but I low key don’t want to bother with it.”
Tati looks up from her phone surprised, “Wait, what!?”
“Yeah, I kind of just wanna go wild! Why do we have to go to school? That's no fun!’ Bailey nods her head in agreement and folds her arms behind her head, “Yea, Let’s just be chaotic neutrals and evade the law!”
“You guys can do what you want but I wanna live my weeb dream as a real anime high school girl. Thank you very much!”
“I mean, I don’t want to go through hero training and all, but still want to be a hero. Why should I have to go to school to be a hero?” Nayeli questioned.
“Personally I’d rather be on the side of lord and savior Principal Nedzu” Tati proclaims and touches her finger to her head whispers “To the Rat’, moves it to her chest “To the bear’ finally drags her hand across her shoulders from right to left “And to the holy dog’ she clasps her hands in prayer and looks up to the sky “Our Holy Principal!”
Eva quickly copies Tati and Nayeli takes a few steps away from the duo. She subtly scoots closer to the main exit.
“No offense guys, but I ain't gonna follow a rat.” Bailey rolls her eyes as the duo fumes in anger.
Tati does what the rat god would have wanted. She slaps a beach, says a prayer, and snatches Eva from the ground and then princess carries them to safety far from their clearly demented friend. After all she must be quite ill to not fully comprehend the Holiness of our lord and Savior.
Bailey looks towards the empty spot where Nayeli should have been but it’s clear she made the wise choice to yeet herself out as soon as the cult shiz started. Bailey internally promised to return the favor in full at a later time. For now she too left the alleyway to explore the world of her favorite anime.
And that’s how our group first parted ways. Now their stories begin as they choose the paths throughout this world. See how their choices may twist and turn fate.
