Izuku Midoriya And The Paradox Theater

A Movie Theater Outside Space And Time

[The story takes place after the cultural festival arc. Boku no hero academia belongs to Kohei Horikoshi.]

  It was a normal night at the 1A dormitory with all the students getting ready for bed. Then all of a sudden *SNAP* all the students disappeared from their dorms.

Suddenly Class 1A reappeared, this time in a large movie theater. "What the hell just happened!?" "Bakugou, watch your language!" "Hell isn't a swear word, Asswipe!". The students looked around as they tried to assess their current situation. One thing all of them noticed was their attire. Everyone was in their uniform minus the blazer. As if things couldn't get any weirder, more people appeared right out of thin air. This time, All Might, Grand Torino, Endeavor, Eraser Head, Present Mic, Midnight, Recovery Girl, and principal Nezu appeared. "SENSEI!?" 

"Why is it always my class?!" Aizawa squeezed the bridge of his nose with his right hand in annoyance. "Are you all alright?" All Might asked the students, who nodded in response. "Does anyone have any idea what is going on? How'd we even get here?" Present Mic asked his colleagues who had no idea themselves. "And why are we all wearing our hero attire?" Midnight pondered out loud. In the theater minus All Might, all of the adults were wearing their hero gear despite none of them being on call. All Might wore his two-piece yellow with black stripes suit with a blue tie. 

"I believe I have the answers you all desire." everyone turned their head to where the voice came from.  Standing a few feet away in front of a giant screen was a strange man none had ever seen before. The teachers and a few of the students got into fighting stances. "And who might you be?" Nezu took a few steps forward to get a closer look at the man. The strange man stood roughly at 6ft 5 inches and had an average build, not muscular and not skinny. He wore black dress pants with black loafers, a button-down white dress shirt, a black tie, a light brown sweater vest, and a lab coat. "I go by many names, but you may call me Paradox." Paradox reached into his right lab coat pocket and pulled out a gold pocket watch. He checked it before placing it back into his coat pocket. "Just in time. All of you."

"Oi! Just who the hell are you!" "I told you who I am, Bakugou." Paradox stepped forward, "Stay where you are!" Eraserhead readied his capture scarf and activated his erasure quirk, or at least tried to. "My quirk! What did you do?" Paradox smiled, "Temporarily disabled, not to worry, I shall return them when we are finished." "Finished? Finished with what?" All might asked, "Your see in a moment. Now would you all be so kind as to take your seats we may begin?" "You're a goddamn idiot if you think we're listening to you! In case you couldn't tell, you're outnumbered! It's you vs the 27 of us!" "Ughh Bakubro, there's actually 28 of us." Kirishima corrected. "Shitty hair, you know damn well that even with his quirk, Kouda can't do shit!" "Bakugou! That was uncalled for and unnecessary!" "Piss off raccoon ey-" suddenly Bakugou froze all the color leaving his body, turning him gray and motionless. "KACCHAN/BAKUBRO!!!" "What did you do to him!?" Aizawa shouted as he attempted to launch his capture scarf at Paradox, only for what happened to Bakugou to happen to him as well.

"SHOTA!!!" Yamada and Kayami cried. "Now everyone kindly calms down. Both of them are perfectly fine. I've frozen them in time. I do not wish to fight. I wish to show you something that is all." "Then tell me you brought us here." Gran Torino spoke up. "Because this is the only place where I can show you what I wish to share with you." "Why a movie theater of all places?" Yamada asked, "I found it suiting to my gift." "What so special about this theater anyway?" A smile curled onto Paradox's lips, "I'm so glad you asked. For you see, we are no longer in Japan, or on Earth for that matter. We are in a pocket dimension outside space and time!"

Everyone was speechless nobody knew how to respond to Paradox. Was he telling the truth? Was it even possible for a mere man to be capable of this? And how powerful is this man to kidnap 28 people without detection? "No! It's impossible! What your saying cannot possibly happen! Ever! It's simply cannot!" everyone turned to Yaoyorozu, who looked like she was about to lose her mind. "Calm down, Yaomomo, you're getting yourself worked up." Jirou tried helping her best friend. "Miss Yaoyorozu, while you are correct in assuming our current situation is pure science fiction. Let me assure you that the laws of physics do not apply to me!" That one statement sent chills down everyone's spine, including the old and new symbol of peace.

"Just who are you?" Nezu and All might spoke at the same time. "I am an observer, a watcher of everything. I've existed since before creation itself, and I'll exist well after its end. I go where I please and observe as everything plays out. I've met all of you at one point or another, and very rarely do I interact with the worlds that I watch. But recently I've become bored as one often does so I've decided to spice things up. I've brought you all here because you dear companions will experience a sensation that no one else ever will. The 28 of you will get to view into the multiverse!"

Everyone stared at Paradox with wide eyes. Were they dreaming? No, it felt too real to be a dream. But if all of them weren't dreaming, then that would mean everything Paradox just said was true! "I can sense some hesitation in all of you, so believe me or don't, if you do not wish to remain here, then I will send you back home. Of course, I'll have to erase your memory to prevent time and space from falling apart. So make your decision."

Paradox unfroze Bakugou and Aizawa, and everyone gathered together to explain the situation to the two. "So what now?" Denki Kaminari asked. The teachers all looked towards Nezu to see what he thought of the situation. "I have to say I'm quite curious. I believe I shall stay. The choice is up to you all if you wish to remain as well or leave." All the students thought about it before looking at each other and nodding. It was obvious what their choices were the same applied to the adults. Everyone turned towards Paradox, who had been staring at his pocket watch Nezu stepped forward and coughed to get Paradox's attention. "I take it you've all decided?" "Yes, we have. We have all decided to remain and see what you wish to show us."

"Very well, trust me when I say you won't regret this! Now, if you'd all kindly take your seats, we can begin." Paradox directed the students and staff to the seating section, which contained a few couches, bean bag chairs, and seats similar to those in a luxurious cinema.

The seating arrangement was as followed:

Row 1: Rikidou Sato, Kouji Koda, Yuuga Aoyama, Mezou Shoji, and Fumikage Tokoyami
