After passing the Final Exams, Morbius along with the rest of Class 1-A began preparing for the bus ride to the Quirk Training Camp. After a few hours, the class reached what appeared to be a rest stop. Everyone was tired with the exception of Morbius. Morbius quickly noticed that Class 1-B was nowhere to be seen.

Morbius: This is odd. Where's Class 1-B? Surely they should have the same rest stop as us. 

Suddenly, two Pro Heroes dressed in feline attire appeared out of nowhere. The sudden appearance of the Heroes caught everyone off guard. Even Morbius was caught off guard. 

Mandalay: Your feline fantasies are here! Say meow! You can call us the Wild, Wild Pussycats!

The students of Class 1-A were somewhat puzzled. While they were excited to meet more Pro Heroes, they were unfamiliar with these Heroes. Morbius simply nodded his head in respect. 

Aizawa: These will be the Pro Heroes you'll be working with in the summer training camp.

Midoriya: Wow! They're a four person hero team who specialize in mountain rescue! The Pussycats were founded when we were kids like forever ago!

As soon as Midoriya said that, Pixie Bob rushed over to Midoriya and angrily seizes him by the face.

Pixie Bob: I'm pretty sure your math must be off! I'm 18 at heart!

Morbius was puzzled by Pixie Bob's reaction. 

Morbius: Should a Pro Hero really conduct themselves in this manner? I see no reason why someone should be self conscious about their age. 

Mandalay then regains control of the situation as Aizawa points to a boy wearing a two horned hat. 

Aizawa: Everyone say hello.

Class 1-A: HELLO! NICE TO MEET YOU!

The kid simply turned around without saying a word. Morbius was probably one of the few students to notice the boy's cold behavior. It was familiar with Morbius's own attitude when he was a young boy, though Morbius didn't know anything about the boy. Mandalay then begins informing the Class at how the summer training was going to go.

Mandalay: We own this whole stretch of land out here and everything you can see. The summer camp you'll be staying at is there at the base of the mountain.

Mandalay then points out where the training camp was. Everyone quickly saw how far away it was. Morbius's Vampiric senses allowed him to see the camp clearly. This confused Morbius even more. 

Morbius: Then why are we stopping here? If the camp is that close, then we shouldn't be stopping here. And to point out, Class 1-B isn't anywhere to be seen. Shouldn't they be here with us? 

Ochaco: Why did we stop all the way out here instead?

Tsuyu: I'm afraid we both know the answer to that.

Tsuyu bluntly answers the question as she puts her finger against her mouth. At that point, everyone realized something was up. Morbius's Vampiric senses could feel the ground shifting. 

Sato: That can't be right!

Sero: Maybe we should get back on the bus....

Soon enough, most of the students made an attempt to get back on the bus. As the ground began to shift, Morbius spoke with Yaoyorozu. 

Yaoyorozu: Michael? What's wrong? 

Morbius: We need to get off this platform now!

Yaoyorozu followed Morbius's lead as they both jumped off the platform. Morbius grabbed Yaoyorozu and glided her to safety. Meanwhile, the ground beneath the rest of Class 1-A suddenly shifted and imploded beneath the students. This launches the students off the edge of the balcony and sends them to the ground below, giving them a rough landing. Yaoyorozu and Morbius began helping the others up.

Morbius: Are you all okay?

Jiro: I'm fine. Pretty sure the others are too. 

Kaminari: Way to give us a warning! How did you know what was going to happen?!

Morbius: I didn't. My senses simply allowed me to feel the ground shift. 

As the other students recovered from the fall, Mandalay made an announcement.

Mandalay: Good news! Since this is private land, you can use your Quirks as much as you want to! You got 3 full hours! You should be able to make it to the facility in that time! That is if you make it through the Beast Forest!

As everyone began to mildly freak out by the name alone, roaring was heard in the distance. Most of the students began to feel uneasy.

Kaminari: What was that?!

Todoroki: Looks like we got obstacles on our way.

Yaoyorozu: Is this some sort of test?

Morbius: It has to be. There's no way the Pro Heroes would put up in danger needlessly. We must be cautious. 

Bakugo: Fuck waiting! I'll see you fucking extras back at the camp!

Bakugo then launches himself into the Beast Forest with his Explosion Quirk. This display of cockiness and arrogance didn't surprise the class one bit. 

Kaminari: And he's off. 

Morbius: Looks like we'll be doing this the hard way. 

At that point, everyone else began running in the direction Bakugo launched himself in. Some had similar mindsets like Bakugo while others practiced caution. Yaoyorozu then used her Creation Quirk to form a staff. 

Yaoyorozu: What do you think is coming our way? 

Morbius: I don't know. If that shift in the ground has anything to do with it, we're either looking at Fake Villains or possible one of the Pussycat's Quirks. Either way, we must be careful!

With that, the students of Class 1-A began moving through the Beast Forest, prepared for whatever challenges the Pussycats had in store for them.
