What If... Sonic the Hedgehog was in My Hero Academia? - Volume 1

Episode 5: The USJ Attack Part 1

LET'S CATCH YOU UP TO SPEED...

"Yo. I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. A student at UA, on my journey toward becoming a hero. Last time, our class was supposed to practice rescue training with Pro Hero Thirteen at the USJ, but some bad guys showed up calling themselves The League of Villains. It looks like they came here for All Might, but thankfully he wasn't with us when we got here. Now one of the villains used their power to separate the class and warp us all to different locations, and it looks like I might not make it out of this one. Wait... is that... oh no..."

Sonic looks down to realize where he is and starts panicking.

Sonic: W-W-WATER?! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!

Before he can hit the water, Asui catches him with her tongue and pulls him onto the boat.

Asui: I gotcha.

Sonic: *sigh of relief* Thanks, Tsu.

Mineta: Ugh. What happened? Where are we now?

Deku: We're in the shipwreck zone. It seems like that gas guy has a teleporting quirk and tried to thin us out. That guy... the one with the hands all over him. He said they were here to kill All Might. He's the one who probably caused the breach at school and found the files. He's gotta be the mastermind.

Mineta: Ok hold on! It's not like these guys could actually kill All Might. Once he shows up, he'll pound 'em til there's nothing left.

Ausi: But think about it though, if these villains spent so much time and effort planning this attack they probably figured out a way to kill him.

Just then Deku looks out of the boat and sees that they're surrounded by aquatic-related villains.

Deku: Either way, we can't just stay here. We've gotta get back to the pros and help them stop the hand guy.

Ausi: What can we do?

Deku: Well there's something I noticed, Asu- I mean Tsu. For villains with such intricate planning, they sent you here. Water is your element, it's perfect for you. So why send you all of people here? Then it hit me; they must not know each of our powers. Our strengths, our weaknesses. Look, they haven't attacked us yet because they don't know what we can do. They're waiting for us to make the first move.

Sonic: WELL THEY PICKED OUT MY WEAKNESS PERFECTLY!

They all look and see that Sonic is crouching in the fetal position.

Deku: S-Sonic, what's wrong?!

Sonic: WHAT ARE YOU BLIND? LOOK AROUND YOU DEKU! WE'RE SURROUNDED BY WATER!

Ausi: ...What's the problem with water?

Sonic: *sigh* Ok. Confession time. I...probably should've told you guys this earlier, but um...I...I can't...swim.

Mineta: WHAT?! YOU CAN MOVE FASTER THAN SOUND BUT YOU CAN'T SWIM?

Sonic: GIMME A BREAK! I SINK LIKE A ROCK IN THE WATER! WHENEVER I GO IN THE POOL I START HALLUCINATING AND SEE LITTLE BUBBLY NUMBERS THAT TELL ME HOW MANY SECONDS I HAVE LEFT TO BREATHE. *shaking Mineta* DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT'S LIKE?!

Just then the boat is attacked by the villains in the water, ramming into it.

Sonic: NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD!

Mineta: *throwing his balls at the villains* LEAVE US ALONE!

Villain 1: EW! What are those!

Villain 2: They're not coming off!
