The past week, quirks all across Japan have been acting up. Malfunctioning, or not activating at all. It was a crisis, and no one could truly stop it. But one evening, it finally stopped. And all quirks suddenly stopped working. No matter how strong they were.

But the next day. U.A. found itself in chaos. Once the students entered the common room of the dormitory, they saw figures that looked familiar, yet not.

One of them, a female-like figure covered in what looked like acid, spoke up, approaching Mina, "Hey, I'm Acid. Nice to meet ya~" Its voice is playful, reaching out a hand as it stood in front of a shocked Mina.

"Don't look so surprised." Another figure said with annoyance. This one was covered in flames. "y-yeah.. we don't wanna.. h-hurt you!" Another one said. Standing close to the figure drenched in fire. This one, covered in ice.

"Half-cold.. half-hot!?" Shoto's voice is filled with confusion, as he approaches the fire and ice figures.

"Yeah, we're your quirks. What'cha gon do 'bout it?" A fourth one asked, voice filled with confidence. Its body was made of crackles, with the occasional explosion-like visual appearing.

"Shut up! Like I'd believe someone as stupid looking as YOU is my great, great Explosion!" Katsuki scoffed.

"It is the truth. We are the manifestations of your quirks. This is who we truly are. Not just tools to be used for your gain." One of the figures said. It was.. purple with a small black hole-like spiral spots, hovering in the air, only held down by the tongue of another figure, a large, green frog, reminiscent of Asui..

"If you wanna use us. You have to prove yourself worthy to us." Another one said, this one covered in what looked like hardened stone.
