Prime in a New Earth - Book 1 (TFPXMHA)

Entrance Exam

Small side note: Now that we are getting more characters in this story I'll share things that I want to clear up about Optimus's appearance that I fear I might have missed. He is 6'3", this causes him to be the tallest student of 1-A. He also appears to be a teenager about 15 or 16. If you guys have any other questions about his appearance I'll be happy to answer! (The picture on the cover is drawn by me so it's accurate to this story.)

~~~~~

Today was the day of the Entrance Exam, Optimus had already taken the written test, he was ready for anything. Optimus looks up at U.A. High, normally a building this size wouldn't surprise him, but he was smaller now. The height of U.A. astounded him, he stood there till he was brought back to reality by a blond haired boy who had bumped into him.

"Hey watch it you extra!" The boy shouted.

Optimus wanted to say something but was unsure of what, so he just started walking into U.A. Optimus found his way to the auditorium and took a seat in the crowd. Finally a man walked onto the stage and introduced himself as Present Mic.

"What's up UA Candidates, thanks for tuning into me. Come on and let me hear ya!" Present Mic waited for the crowd's response, " keeping it mellow, huh? That's find I'll skip straight to the main show. Let's talk all about how this practical exam's going to go down, okay?" He took a short pause and Optimus noticed a few kids covering their ears, "ARE YOU READY!?" Present Mic shouted, his voice echoed in Optimus's head and for a moment all he could hear was ringing.

Present Mic explained the basics for the mock battles, Optimus listened carefully readying himself in case Mic decided to shout again. When Mic stated that they were going to be fighting robotic villains, he couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, this caught the attention of a blue haired boy behind him.

"This is not something to be laughing at!" The boy stated as he waved his arm around.

"My apologies, just reminded me of home." Optimus responded, saying the last part more to himself.

Present Mic finished the presentation and everyone headed off to their battle centers.

~~~~~

Optimus found himself standing in front of the big doors to the battle center. He turned around hearing the blue haired boy, who had told him to be quiet, talking with a green haired boy, who he had also asked to be quiet during the presentation. The blue haired boy seemed to be telling the green haired boy to leave someone alone, as to not distract them. Others standing around started talking amongst themselves, stating that they had already counted the green haired boy out. Optimus wish to help the green haired boy but the doors to the battle center creaked open. 

He looked in seeing giant robots destroying a city, his instincts took hold of him and he rushed in to fight to robots, others following close behind.

Optimus opened a ground bridge to the top of a 1 pointer, he thrusted his hand through its metal plating and ripped out a handful of wiring. The robot shut down, Optimus ground bridged to the top of a nearby building. He noticed a sharp pain in his hand, as he inspected the damage he realized that he had forgotten that humans aren't built to punch through metal with no injury. He made a mental note to find a panel that he could rip off instead of damaging his hand further.

Optimus went from robot to robot, inspecting each one for a panel, ripping it off, and removing as many wires as he could before he went to the next one. He aided in a few takedowns with others. Soon he heard Present Mic's voice over the speakers, he stated that there were two minutes left. Not a second later did Optimus feel a rumbling, the zero pointer had appeared. 

He got closer, checking to see if anyone needed help getting out of harm's way. Optimus noticed a girl trapped beneath rubble, she would be crushed for sure. Just as he was about to get to the girls aid, he noticed the green haired boy again. He was flying through the air, landing a blow on the zero pointer so strong that its "face" shattered. The boy began to fall and Optimus went to help him, opening a ground bridge and propelling himself through. Optimus grabbed the boy midair and landed safely on the nearby rooftop.

"You're injured badly, both your legs are broken and so is your right arm." Optimus told the boy as he set him on the ground.

"I..." The boy started, he was quickly interrupted by Present Mic's voice.

"Time's Up!"

Optimus picked up the boy who had promptly passed out. He opened a bridge to the exit of the battle center and walked through with the boy in his arms. He started to panic, worrying for the boy's health, his face covered in a look of distraught. He rushed out and ran as fast as he could to Recovery Girl, whose office/Medical center he had passed on is way to the auditorium at the beginning.

He opened the door and set the boy on a bed, Recovery Girl noticed this and immediately went to work. Optimus took a seat and observed Recovery Girl's work, shortly after Aizawa came in.

"There you are. I was looking for you Orion. A few people mentioned you might be here. Is everything alright?" Aizawa talked with an air of concern in his voice.

"I'm fine it's him I'm worried about," Optimus motioned to the boy the Recovery Girl had patched up, laying there with his arm and legs wrapped in a cast.

"He'll be alright in a day or two." Recovery Girl reassures him, "Now let's take a look at that hand." Optimus was so focused on the boy's health had completely forgotten about his own. Recovery Girl used her quirk and Optimus's wounds were fully healed. This made Optimus feel calmer but he was unsure if this was the quirk taking some of his energy or the fact that Recovery Girl had a sweet smile on her face. He summed it up to a little bit of both.

Optimus left the boy in the care of Recovery Girl as a returned home with Aizawa.
