The ride was a silent one. Hikori was sitting in the back of the carriage as Irei lent against his shoulder; sleeping. Zen was sitting up straight with his halted sword laying across his lap. Iida had a scroll of blank parchment with a quill pen; writing down whatever came to their mind while Kirishima was staring out the open back looking into the distance.
The carriage jolted to a stop, waking up Irei, before the group jumped out to see themselves standing on the road that lead into a small town filled with cottages. Irei wandered over to the carriage driver and dropped some golden coins into their hand before bidding them good day.
Once the carriage moved out of the way, the group began their small trek into the village. Once they got there, they were immediately overwhelmed with music. As they walked through the small town, they spotted two figures putting on a performance; one playing with puppets while the other was singing.
As they got closer, Hikori was able to hear the song's words clearer.
"There will come a soldier, who carries a mighty sword! He will tear your city down, Oh ley a li O lord!"
Hikori took in the girl's appearance; dark purple hair and deep purple eyes. The puppeteer had white hair with a blue and red fringe. The small group stood by as the girl played. Iida was writing down on the parchment again, seemingly recording the experience. Zen was clapping to the beat while Kirishima had her arms crossed and bobbing her head in time.
Hikori turned towards Irei. He bowed slightly and offered his hand. Irei turned towards him and looked at his outstretched palm. With a blushing smile, Irei accepted and Hikori spun him around. The duo began to dance to the music.
The male with the girl joined in the singing, watching the duo dance. As they danced, they drew a crowed. They danced this way and that, the crowd clapping along. Irei spun, landed in Hikori's arms and the other boy dipped him just as the song finished. Both took gasping breaths and blushed.
"STOP HIM!" Came an angry cry.
Hikori looked towards the voice and saw a group of mercenaries racing towards them and pushing threw the crowed. Hikori lifted Irei up.
"We've got to get out of here, your majesty!" Zen exclaimed.
Irei nodded. The group bolted and tried to put run them. As they raced away, Hikori threw a glance to see the soldiers destroy the puppeteer's small theatre and the girl's lute, before pushing the two to the ground. Skidding to a halt with a frown, Hikori turned around and raced back to the group. Standing before the mercenaries, Hikori held out his hands and electricity danced from his finger tips.
He grabbed the girl and the male's hands and dragged them up and over to his friends before racing off once more. After they lost sight of the soldiers, they slowed to a stop, around a corner to catch their breath.
"Are you two alright?" Hikori asked, looking at the duo.
"We're fine." The girl replied. "But we should really get back to our spot before someone tries to steal what's left of our act."
"Wait! What are your names?!"
"I'm Yaoyarozu Yua and this is Terebigēmu Adrien."
"But you can just call me Adrien." The male replied. "But yeah. We gotta go."
The duo raced off, leaving the group on their own once more, but not for long. A few moments after the duo left, the mercenaries managed to catch up to them. Hikori pushed his friends as they began to run once more.
They raced around corners and tried to avoid crashing into others. At one point, Zen turned to face the people chasing them, sword dream and holding it with two hands.
"Not Now, Zen!" Irei cried as he grabbed his loyal knight by the arm, dragging him along as they continued to run.
They continued to run threw the town, in which was bigger than they originally thought.
"Over here!" Came a voice.
Hikori looked up to see a figure with chocolate brown hair and soft brown skin. She was waving them over with persistence.
"This way!" Hikori cried as he veered off, the group following.
Once they got to the female figure, she guided them down a few side streets, the mercenaries still hot on their trail.
"Where are we going?!" Iida cried.
"Run first and ask questions later!" The girl cried.
"Oi!" Kirishima snapped. "Tell us your name, Extra!"
"My name is Tori Tori! Adventure and Traveller at your service!" She smiled.
"I'm Iida Hanna! Messenger of the Midoriya-Todoroki Kingdom!"
"Kirishima Eijitski princess of the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Sir Zen! Trusty Knight of the Midoriya-Todoroki Royal Family!"
"Prince Midoriya-Todoroki Irei!"
"And I'm Kaminari Hikori!"
"You must be the thief the Mercenaries are after!"
"WHAT?!" Hikori skidded to a stop once they were in the clear. "But I didn't steal anything!"
"Are you sure?" Tori questioned with the tilt of her head.
"I'm positive."
"Then what's this?" Tori reached into Hikori's satchel and pulled out a silver crown.
Hikori's face was one of horror.
"I never stole a thing...! I- I was framed...!"
"There they are! They have King Shigaraki's crown!"
"King Shigaraki?!" Hikori cried as they once again started to run. "Who the fuck is King Shigaraki?!"
"The King of the Outcasts! He lives on the most outer skirts of any kingdom; surrounded by the darkest parts of the forest."
As they ran, Hikori and Irei were suddenly grabbed by their collars and jammed inside a building, the others pulled in after them. When they looked around to where they were, Kirishima was about to cry out in annoyance when a pale pink finger was held against her lips.
"Shh...!"
The figure looked out the crack in the door and watched as the mercenaries ran past. The group looked at the figure and were met with the pink skin of a tall woman with bubblegum pink hair, yellow horns and black eyes;
Mina Sensei.

So I'm actually unsure if they can use their quirks in the canon AU but in mine they can, as well as Shiggy having his own kingdom.
My AU, My rules.
Oh! And if the song attached doesn't work, listen to Soldier, Poet, King by the Oh Hellos
Hope you all enjoyed!
Bye!
