6-year-old Ozzie and his parents are walking through an Archaeological museum in Sydney, Australia.

Ozzie’s Dad: These exhibits are always so droll.

Ozzie’s Mom: Oh, Nathan, you know how much Ozzie loves these bones and footprints.

Ozzie’s Dad: Yes, yes, the little guy loves his dinosaurs. That doesn’t mean I have to.

Ozzie gets distracted by an exhibit and approaches it.

Ozzie: Woah…

The exhibit is a velociraptor fossil.

Ozzie: So cool!

Ozzie reaches for the fossil.

Security Guard: Hey! Kid! Stop!

Ozzie grasps the fossil as the security guard runs to him.

Security Guard: You’re not allowed to touch the exhibits, k-

The fossil starts shining.

Security: Huh?

Ozzie: Woah…

Ozzie’s parents are still walking through the museum and haven’t noticed their missing son.

Ozzie: *from afar* Mom! Dad!

Ozzie’s Dad: Ozzie?

Ozzie’s Mom: Did we leave him behi-

Ozzie’s parents’ jaws drop as he approaches them, riding a Velociraptor.

Ozzie: Can we keep her?

Everyone in the museum is dumbfounded watching Ozzie ride up to his parents. The flashback ends.

Yul: Zach, Alden, Ozzie, Aaron, and Ash, please enter the arena.

Ozzie stands up.

Ozzie: Alright, mates, let’s give it a go.

Aaron: Now isn’t the time to speak Australian, Oz. We need to get in the arena!

Ozzie: R- right…

Ozzie, Aaron, and Ash take their spot on one side of Yul as Alden and Zach take the other.

Zach: Ugh… let’s just get this over with.

Alden: Yeah, I don’t want you to corrupt my perfect genes for too long.

Zach: Yeah, I’m the problem here.

Alden: Yes.

Yul approaches them.

Yul: Are you two ready to fuse?

Zach: *sighs* Yes.

Alden: *nasal grunt* I guess so.

Yul places his hand on each of their shoulders.

Yul: Fuse!

Alden and Zach merge into a single person. He has Zach’s hair with a mixed color, Alden’s head shape and nose, Zach’s eyes, and a blend of their clothes. When he speaks, his voice is an overlap of Alden's and Zach’s.

Zachen: They call me the most excellent combatant of all time.

Aaron: *sighs*

Ash: I can deal with this, but please, for the love of god, don’t let him-

Zachen: Ashley! My darling!

Ash: DAMMIT!

Eve facepalms.

Eve: What is he just Alden 2?

Alexis: Well, he remembered Ash’s full name, so…

Lilith: He’s Alden but slightly more considerate?

Alexis: Looks like it…

Ozzie smiles and tips his hat.

Ozzie: I’m looking forward to the match, mate.

Aaron: Don’t encourage him.

Ozzie: Hm? Why not? I know none of you all like that Alden bloke, but that’s not my style.

Ash: Being nice to him is… a strange choice.

Ozzie: You should always treat others the way you want to be treated.

Ash: If you say so…

Aaron steps forward.

Aaron: Alright, here’s the plan. I’ll blast him, and you guys watch.

Ozzie: Mind if I take a crack at something else, mate?

Aaron: Huh? What do you mean?

Ozzie steps forward with his hands up.

Zachen: Oh, you’re approaching me?

Ozzie: How else am I supposed to get to know ya?

Zachen: Huh?

Ozzie: What’s your name, mate?

Zachen thinks for a moment.

Zachen: I’ll go with Zachen! [Zay-shin]

Ozzie: Well, Zachen, it’s nice to meet ya. I’m Oskar, but you can call me Ozzie.

The spectators watch intently.

Alexis: What’s he up to?

Eve: The guy is charming, but he’s an idiot if he thinks that’ll work.

Aaron impatiently taps his foot.

Aaron: I’m just gonna gun him down!

Ash: Aaron, no!

Aaron: Huh? Why, Ash? Do you seriously think the Aussie’s plan is going to work?

Ash: I think it’s worth seeing if it does.

Aaron: *grunts* Fine, but when he fucks up, don’t cry to me.

Ozzie removes his utility belt and tosses it aside.

Zachen: What are you doing?

Ozzie: I’m just trying to make you more comfortable. How am I supposed to negotiate when you’ve gotta worry about my weapons?

Zachen: Negotiate? This is a battle!

Ozzie: Yes, but not every war must be solved with violence.

Aaron: *from afar* Yes, it does!

Ozzie begins walking toward Zachen gently.

Ozzie: Why do friends have to battle each other?

Zachen: F- friends? No! I’m the greatest! I don’t need friends! Yul! Tell me what he’s doing isn’t allowed!

Yul: If this is how Ozzie wants to handle battles as a hero, I don’t see a problem.

Zachen: *frustrated grunt* Fine! I’ll just blast him then!

Two sharp bones grow from Zachen’s back and fly toward Ozzie.

Zachen: Blade Bone!

Ozzie doesn’t move at all.

Aaron: What is he doing?

Ash: Ozzie!

One of the bones stabs into Ozzie’s thigh and the other into his upper arm.

Ozzie: *pained grunt*

Ozzie shakes off the pain quickly and continues moving toward Zachen.

Zachen: What are you doing?

Aaron: Damn…

Ash: He’s tough…

Ozzie smiles.

Ozzie: No matter how many times you knock me down, I’ll get right back up and continue trying to fight my way. So, don’t think your attacks can break my spirit!

Zachen: Fine! Then I’ll just break your bones instead!

Zachen grows his bone claws and fires them at Ozzie. They stab into his lower torso, causing Ozzie to fall to his knee.

Aaron: That’s it! I’m stepping in!

Ozzie: Stay back!

Aaron and Ash: Huh?

Ozzie: Don’t worry, mates, I got this.

Ozzie grinds his teeth and pushes through the pain.

Ozzie: (Battling this type of opponent is like taming a wild animal. You just need some patience and high pain tolerance.)

A flashback begins. 10-year-old Ozzie is traversing a jungle with his grandfather.

Ozzie: Where are we going, grandpop?

Grandpa: To find you a new friend, Ozzie.

Ozzie: A new friend? Well, I got plenty of those.

Grandpa: I’m talking about a different kind of friend.

Ozzie and his grandfather follow a stream until they reach a waterfall.

Grandpa: Look.

Ozzie: Hm?

Ozzie looks down and sees a Sumatran Tiger drinking water.

Ozzie: A tiger?

Grandpa: Notice the problem?

Ozzie: Of course, those aren’t indigenous to Australia. What’s it doing here?

Grandpa: Poachers brought it to our country and released it into the wild so they could hunt it. It’s found refuge in this ravine, but eventually, they’ll find it.

Ozzie: What?! That’s awful! We have to save it!

Grandpa: We aren’t. You are.

Ozzie: Huh? You won’t help it?

Grandpa: Ozzie, you’ve had a special connection with animals since you were a boy. They seem to take well to you.

Ozzie’s grandfather kneels down and places his hands on Ozzie’s shoulders.

Grandpa: That tiger is an endangered species and needs your help. I believe you can help tame that wild animal so we can bring it to safety. But, if I try to assist you, I’ll only get in the way of your natural talents.

Ozzie: Are- are you sure?

Grandpa: Yes, Ozzie. Remember, the dinosaurs you create from your quirk do not have to follow your instructions. They do because they trust you. So don’t be afraid and show that animal why it should do the same.

Ozzie hesitates.

Ozzie: Okay, I will, Grandpa.

Grandpa: Good.

Grandpa drops his pack on the ground.

Grandpa: This should be enough supplies for you to survive a week. I’ll return with more in 7 days, assuming the job isn’t done by then.

Ozzie: Wait, I have to live out here?

Grandpa: The tiger is alone out here, so you must always be close to it.

Ozzie: I- I understand.

Grandpa begins to walk away.

Grandpa: Remember, Ozzie, animals can sense your fear. If you want it to trust you, you must rid yourself of all fear.

Ozzie: I will.

Grandpa: It’s easier said than done.

Grandpa departs.

Ozzie: (Just like taming a tiger.)

Ozzie scales down the waterfall cliff and reaches the ground. He glances at the tiger, but it’s ignoring him.

Ozzie: (Should I just try the frontal approach? It can’t hurt, right?)

Ozzie starts gently walking toward the tiger.

Ozzie: Hello, little mate. It’s nice to meet ya, I’m Oskar, but you can call me Ozzie.

The tiger looks at Ozzie momentarily, causing him to stop moving.

Ozzie: (Oh boy…)

Ozzie gulps, and the tiger roars at him. He immediately retreats.

Ozzie: (Grandpa was right! It sensed my fear!)

Ozzie takes a deep breath.

Ozzie: (So, if I want to approach the little guy, I need to dispel any fear I have. The only way I can do that is by staying as close to it as possible.)

Night eventually falls; Ozzie has made himself a campfire and is cooking two MREs. The tiger is lying down on the other side of the stream.

Ozzie: Mind if I ask you some questions?

The tiger stares at Ozzie.

Ozzie: You haven’t attacked me at all. Does that mean you like me, or are you just being nice?

The tiger stares at Ozzie.

Ozzie: I’m gonna assume it’s the latter, but I hope I can soon make the former true. Are you a boy or a girl?

The tiger stares at Ozzie.

Ozzie: Right, tough question to answer. How about this: if you’re a girl, scratch your ear.

The tiger yawns and scratches its ear with its back paw.

Ozzie: Huh?!

“ Grandpa: Ozzie, you’ve had a special connection with animals since you were a boy. They seem to take well to you. “

Ozzie: (No way it understood me, right?)

Ozzie shakes his head.

Ozzie: Alright, I’ll call you a “she” from now on, if that’s alright?

Ozzie’s MREs finish. He picks up one and approaches the stream.

Ozzie: I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t catch any fish today. You must be hungry.

The tiger stares at Ozzie.

Ozzie: Well, this stuff isn’t great, but it’s better than nothing.

Ozzie dumps a tuna MRE on the ground and walks away.

Ozzie: If you want it, dig in.

Ozzie smiles at the animal as it continues staring at him.

Ozzie: Go on, it won’t bite.

A few minutes pass with nothing happening, so Ozzie starts eating his own food.

Ozzie: (This might be harder than I thought it would be-)

Suddenly, the tiger stands up and walks through the stream, to Ozzie’s amazement.

Ozzie: (Come on! Come on!)

The tiger reaches the tuna, sniffs it, and starts eating.)

Ozzie: (Yes!)

Ozzie watches as the animal consumes everything and returns to its spot across the stream.

Ozzie: (I’d say this was a productive first day!)

Three days later…

Ozzie: (I’d say this has been an unproductive first few days… I thought I was making progress before, but I’m still afraid… What if she still tries to attack me? Nobody is here to protect me. I could die!)

Ozzie is quiet for a few moments.

Ozzie: (Well, I’ve gotta at least try!)

Ozzie stands up and wades through the water toward the tiger.

Ozzie: Hi there, girl. How are ya?

Ozzie inches closer and closer to the animal.

Ozzie: Mind if I petcha-

Ozzie extends his arm toward the beast, but it claws him.

Ozzie: AHH!

Ozzie grabs his arm in pain as the tiger growls at him.

Ozzie: *pained grunts* No… fear…

Ozzie pushes through the pain and attempts to pet the tiger again, much to its surprise.

Ozzie: Trust me, girl. I’m not trying to hurt you…

The tiger is hesitant but allows Ozzie to scratch behind her ear.

Ozzie: There, there. I know you were just scared. Trust me, I was too, but we can’t be afraid of each other for both our sakes…

Ozzie walks away from the tiger.

Ozzie: We’ll try a little more each day until we feel comfortable with one another. Does that sound good?

The tiger stares at Ozzie.

Ozzie: Good, then that’s what we’ll do.

Ozzie’s grandfather watches from atop the waterfall with a smile on his face.

Grandpa: (You have a gift, my boy, and it’s on perfect display with that animal right there.)

Many days pass as Ozzie increasingly bonds with the animal, eventually reaching the point where the two have become friends, giving it the name: Kali.

Ozzie: Alright, Kali, I think we’ve reached the point where it’s time to move on from this valley. You need to get somewhere safe.

Kali stares at Ozzie as he stands up.

Ozzie: If I leave… will you follow?

Ozzie starts walking into the jungle. Kali stands up and follows Ozzie.

Ozzie: (Awesome!)

Ozzie and Kali traverse the jungle together.

Ozzie: (The first thing to know about poachers is they don’t like putting all their eggs in one basket. There are bound to be traps around here, and I can’t let Kali get caught in one.)

Ozzie spots a bear trap on the ground.

Ozzie: Careful, girl.

He picks up a small log and shoves it into the mechanism. It snaps the wood in half and disables the trap.

Ozzie: Alright, it’s safe, so-

As Kali walks forward, Ozzie notices a second bear trap hidden a few yards from the first.

Ozzie: (The first one was a decoy!) Look out!

Ozzie leaps in front of Kali, causing the bear trap to snap down on his left arm.

Ozzie: AHHHHHHH!

The bear trap has a mechanism attached to it that fires a flare into the air.

Ozzie: (Oh no! Now the poachers will come!)

Kali stares at Ozzie with concern.

Ozzie: Run, girl! They’re coming for you! I can’t protect you from them!

Kali growls at Ozzie.

Ozzie: What? You won’t leave me?

Kali bites on the bear trap and attempts to pry it open.

Ozzie: That’s not going to work! These traps are designed for animals like you!

Ozzie hears footsteps.

Ozzie: (Oh no! They’re here!)

Suddenly, five poachers armed with rifles emerge from the bushes.

Poacher 1: Well, well, well, we finally found it.

Poacher 2: And a kid?

Poacher 3: What are you doing here, mate?

Ozzie: I’m here to save Kali from men like you!

The poachers laugh.

Poacher 4: Look, he named it!

Poacher 5: How adorable!

Poacher 1: Look, squirt, this tiger is my property, and I can do whatever I want with it.

Ozzie: You can’t own an animal like this! They’re endangered!

Poacher 2: Why do you think we want to hunt it?

Poacher 3: What a daft fool!

Poacher 1: Well, we can’t have any witnesses. So…

Poacher 5 aims at Ozzie.

Ozzie: Wh- you’re gonna kill me?!

Poacher 5: We can’t have you blabbering to the authorities about-

Kali lunges at the poacher and rips his jugular out.

Poacher 5: *choking*

Poacher 4: What the hell! Why did it attack?

Poacher 1: It’s protecting the kid!

Poacher 2: Kill it now before it attacks anyone else!

The poachers fire at Kali, but she starts running through the forest.

Poacher 1: After it!

Poacher 2: What about the kid?

Poacher 1: We’ll come back for him after! Trust me, he’s not going anywhere!

The four remaining poachers chase after Kali.

Ozzie: (I’ve gotta help her! They’re expert trackers, and now that they have her trail, she won’t get away!)

Ozzie looks at his arm in the bear trap.

Ozzie: (But I’m not going anywhere like this!)

Ozzie notices the dead poacher has a machete on him.

Ozzie: *grunts*

Ozzie grinds his teeth.

Ozzie: (I’ve gotta protect her!)

Ozzie tries for the machete, but it’s just out of his reach.

Ozzie: Come on… come on!

Kali returns to the waterfall.

Kali: *snarls*

Suddenly, a net deploys on top of Kali, trapping her.

Kali: *roars*

The four poachers surround Kali with their rifles.

Poacher 1: Don’t worry, you’ll make a great rug in my study. Dart it; I like it when my prey accepts their fate.

Poacher 2: Got it.

Poacher 2 reaches for a dart gun in his pack when suddenly he stops.

Poacher 1: Well? What are you waiting for?

Poacher 2 keels over. He has a dart in the back of his neck.

Poacher 3: What the hell?

Poacher 4: Who’s there?

Another set of darts shoots into Poachers 3 and 4’s necks.

Poachers 3 and 4: *grunts*

The two poachers keel over.

Poacher 1: ALRIGHT! SHOW YOURSELF, OR THE TIGER GETS IT!

Ozzie emerges from the top of the waterfall, but his left arm is gone. Stunning the poacher.

Poacher 1: You cut your own… YOU CUT YOUR DAMN ARM OFF FOR A TIGER?!

Ozzie: No… I did it for a friend!

Ozzie pulls out a flare gun and shoots it at Kali’s net, igniting it and setting the animal free.

Poacher 1: AHH! WAIT!

The poacher attempts to shoot Kali, but it lunges at him too quickly and begins mauling him.

Poacher 1: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ozzie watches for a few moments before passing out from blood loss.

Ozzie: You’re safe… girl…

That night, Ozzie awakens in the valley. Kali is resting her head on his chest.

Ozzie: Wh- huh?

Ozzie notices his arm wound has been bandaged, and the bleeding has stopped.

Ozzie: Who did this?

Grandpa: I did, my boy.

Ozzie’s grandfather sits beside a fire, cooking food for them.

Ozzie: Grandpa! What are you doing here?

Grandpa: I saw the flare and rushed here as fast as possible… I’m sorry I was too late to save you.

Ozzie: We didn’t need saving! I stopped those poachers from killing Kali!

Grandpa: Ozzie, you lost your arm.

Ozzie: I don’t care!

Ozzie’s grandfather is shocked.

Ozzie: Kali is my friend, and she needed my help. She risked her life to save me, so I had to return the favor.

Grandpa stares at Ozzie before bursting out laughing.

Ozzie: Why is that funny?!

Grandpa: I’m not laughing at you, Ozzie. I’m just admiring how unique you are.

Ozzie: Unique? What does that mean?

Grandpa: It means you should be proud of who you are, Ozzie, and always stay true to your beliefs.

As Ozzie stares at his grandfather, pondering what he just said. Kali wakes up and licks Ozzie on the cheek.

Ozzie: Hey, girl! You’re safe now! Now, we can get you to the conservation site and-

Kali: *growls*

Ozzie: Wh- huh? But that’s where you belong! You’ll be safe there!

Grandpa: I think she’s already found where she belongs.

Ozzie: Hm?

Ozzie stares at Kali.

Ozzie: You want to stay with me?

Kali: *purrs*

Ozzie smiles.

Ozzie: Alright! You and I will be friends forever!

The flashback ends.

Ozzie: (You should never look at a task and think it’s impossible. You’ll only make it a self-fulling prophecy.)

Zachen grinds his teeth.

Zachen: What are you expecting me to give up and become your friend, Ozzie? I’m not some animal for you to tame!

Ozzie: Yes, you are.

Ozzie breaks a chunk off one of the bones embedded in his body and places it in his fossilizer.

Ozzie: But I’m not looking for any new friends!

Ozzie creates a fossil and uses his quirk to bring it to life.

Ozzie: Now, come forth and aid me in this fight!

A stegosaurus with bones sticking out of its back emerges and stands beside Ozzie.

Ozzie: Skelegosaurus emerge!

Ash: Another dino!

Aaron: I wonder what this one does!

Ozzie: Why don’t you show him, girl?

The Skelegosaurus fires a barrage of 4-foot-long bones into the air like mortars.

Zachen: What the hell is that?!

Ozzie: I’m gonna come at you like a force of nature!

The bones rain down on Zach, with one slicing straight through his upper arm and embedding itself.

Zachen: AHHHHHH!

Ozzie: You can strike now, mates! He’s weak!

Aaron and Ash: Right!

Aaron transforms his arms into a mortar launcher, and Ash enters the astral world.

Alexis: (I see; he used his good nature as a fake-out. He wanted Zachen to attack him so he could make a dinosaur. In addition, Zachen became so convinced Ozzie wasn’t a threat he allowed Ozzie to get too close to dodge his assault. Brilliant thinking.)

Aaron fires a group of five mortars at Zachen.

Aaron: Ballistic Bombardment Times 5!

Zachen looks at the mortar shells careening toward him.

Zachen: If you think I’m going down that easily, you’re damn wrong!

Zachen covers his entire body in bones.

Aaron: Woah!

Ozzie: Now, I wasn’t expecting that!

Aaron’s mortars rain down upon Zachen, but his bone armor protects him.

Lilith: Why didn’t Aaron use Cerulean Skyfire? That attack would have been strong enough to break through Zachen’s armor, right?

Alexis: Yes, and Aaron knew that.

Lilith: Then why didn’t he- Oh… right.

Zachen laughs triumphantly as his armor decays away.

Zachen: You’ll never defeat a warrior as mighty as I! I’m too much for you to-

Ash possesses Zachen.

Zachen (Ash): I’ve got control! Attack now!

Aaron and Ozzie nod.

Ozzie: Skeletal Skewer!

Aaron: Howitzer Burst!

Ozzie’s Skelegosaurus fires another barrage of bones at Zachen as Aaron launches a Howitzer blast.

Ash: (Cya, Alden. Sorry, Zach.)

Ash leaves Zachen’s body.

Zachen: Defeat! Wh- AHHHHH!

The attacks bombard Zachen.

Zachen: AHHHHHHHH! IT HURTS SO MUCH!

Zachen crashes through eight buildings with bones skewering his body. He’s unconscious.

Yul: Group D wins as well!

Ash, Aaron, and Ozzie: Yeah!

The skelegosaurus decays into dust, and Ozzie falls over.

Ash: Ozzie! Are you alright?

Ozzie: Nothing a trip to the infirmary won’t fix!

Aaron: (I guess I don’t hate this guy.)

Yul: Well, many people have already been sent to Recovery Girl, so I won’t give a final speech to the rest of you. Just relay the message that I’m impressed with everyone today and can’t wait for tomorrow.

Aaron: Will do, teach.

That night, everyone in 3-A gathers at their dorm, eating super as a group except for Lara. Alden is scratching at the door like a dog.

Ozzie: Are we gonna let that bloke in?

Eve: Nope.

Ozzie: Alright…

Hayze whispers to Blair.

Hayze: Hey, have you had a chance to talk to your dad yet?

Blair: Uh, n- no! I haven’t!

Hayze: Weird. I thought he would have approached you by now to explain himself.

Blair: Yeah… me too.

Aaron approaches Ozzie with a bottle of whiskey.

Aaron: Alright, “mate.” Round 2!

Ozzie: Sorry, but I don’t think that’ll be enough to-

Aaron: Oh, trust me, it is! This isn’t regular whiskey; it’s a mixture of anything alcoholic I could find!

Wes: Wait, does that include mouthwash?

Aaron: ANYTHING ALCOHOLIC!

Alexis: Aaron, if you drink that, you’re not gonna get drunk, just sick.

Aaron: What kills me makes me stronger!

Aaron down half of the bottle.

Aaron: See?

Aaron barfs and immediately passes out, knocking his head on the table.

Alexis: Aaron!

Ozzie: Well… he wins.

Eve: *sighs* Why are guys so competitive…

Zach: Are you not?

Eve: Shut up, Zach! You had to be inside Alden today!

Zach: Please don’t phrase it like that!

Fang: Look at the bright side. At least you didn’t technically lose today.

Zach: That doesn’t help…

Saige eyes Silver from across the table.

Silver: Quit looking at me.

Saige: Why? I know you want seconds.

Gus: Oh, sorry, Silver, we don’t have enough for that.

Silver: That’s not… *sighs* Okay, thanks, Gus.

Alexis: Hey, Silver, weren’t you supposed to choose the theme for our homecoming dance in a couple weeks?

Silver: I did.

Lilith: What did you choose?!

Silver: Fighting.

Everyone stares at Silver.

Silver: What? I’m not going to the dance unless it’s part of my training.

Eve: Well… I can’t wait to see what the planning committee does with that.

Daisuke finishes his dinner and stands up.

Lilith: Where are you going, Daisuke?

Daisuke: I need to make a call. I’ll be back in a little bit.

The sound of a helicopter can be heard outside.

Zach: Huh, it looks like a chopper is passing over us.

Justus: No, that’s too loud.

Eve: Yeah… that almost sounds like it’s right on top of us.

Gus: Uh… guys?

Everyone runs outside to see a helicopter carrying a crate in front of 3-A’s dorm.

Demetri: What the fuck is going on?

Ozzie: Wait! I know that crate!

The helicopter drops the crate and flies off. Ozzie runs to it and finds a note.

Ozzie: “Dear, Ozzie, your hero gear was approved… somehow. - Walker” Awesome!

Ozzie starts to open the crate.

Ozzie: Come on out, girl! You’ve got friends to meet!

Isaiah: Uh… what’s he-

Ozzie opens the crate, and Kali leaps out.

Everyone: AHHHHHHH!

Wes: IS THAT A FUCKING TIGER?!

Ozzie: Don’t worry, she’s friendly!

Alden is attempting to sneak into the dorm with everyone distracted.

Alden: (I can finally use the toilet again!)

Kali charges toward the group.

Everyone: AHHHHHHH!

Alden: AH! WHAT THE FUCK?!

Kali begins mauling Alden.

Alden: AH! NO! NO! AH! HEEL! HEEL! HEEL!

Ozzie: Good, girl!

Hayze: Huh. She naturally knew to go for Alden.

Eve: I like her!

Alexis: What’s her name, Ozzie?

Ozzie: Kali.

Alexis: Well, it looks like she’s our new dorm mascot!

Everyone cheers as Alden’s screams continue. Lara is watching them in her room through a U.A security camera.

Lara: (Today wasn’t ideal, but as long as my target remains in my sights… I don’t care about the others.)

The following day, Hayze wakes up to the sound of a knock on his door.

Hayze: (Huh?)

Hayze gets up and opens it.

Hayze: Hello?

Lust: Hey, Hayze!

Hayze: Ms. Lust? What are you-

Lust covers Hayze’s mouth and shushes him.

Lust: *whispers* We need you for a top-secret meeting. You’re to come with me immediately.
