izuku

had intermittently been testing Zero Gravity on pretty much every object he could find, Eri had a particularly fun time messing around on the roof with Izuku's horrifying creations while floating around.The girl wasn't a fan of the birds at first but once she saw how they only listened to her, the goofy things grew on her quickly."Mister Izu, let me up again!"

Izuku felt his stomach turning he hadn't trained enough with the quirk yet but how could he say no to that face.Izuku used the hand that didn't have a three fingered glove on it to lift the girl into the air once more.While the girl was playing around Izuku was working on a very new idea, he'd named it THATSA BASEBALL.(A subtle nod to one of his favourite shows.) The things under Zero Gravity lost gravity as one would expect but were still affected by inertia and other forces which is why when you pushed something it didn't continually increase in speed forever and eventually came to a halt just floating in the air after enough time.However combining Water Cutter, Zero Gravity, Molecular Manipulation, and Muscular let Izuku create solid ice balls he could launch at horrifying speeds.

Izuku had one final test he needed to perform but he was also about to vomit and he wouldn't let Eri stay up while he did that.He grabbed the girl with one hand before removing the other glove and releasing her."Sorry Eri I'm not that good with the quirk yet." Ananiel sat silently in the corner, always watching.Izuku had borrowed Water Cutter back so he could practice with it but it was time for his last test.Izuku was already at 14 quirks and this would take him to 15."Eri I'm borrowing Lie Detector for a bit, is that okay with you?"

The girl just nodded looking at the boy expectantly.

"Alright time to test what happens when a creation with a quirk dies.It's not like I could use this stupid quirk anyway and I'll likely be getting a better version in the future." Looking at you confession.Izuku pumped Lie Detection into a Pigeon, since Izuku had two tests he wanted to perform he went with the safer of the two first."If I call back the life does the quirk come with it?I'm bringing that part of my soul back so it might bring it as well but quirks are physical tangible objects I give, what even is a soul?" Izuku wondered aloud.

Eri just looked at him with a very confused face.

"Don't worry about it Eri." Izuku laughed."Anyway test one, give me my soul back pigeon." Izuku watched as the creature returned to being a small rock but he felt no quirk return to him.Huh well that's a bust guess if the thing holding a quirk stops living the quirks gone, that's about what the quirk stealer expected honestly.

"Did it work Mister Izu?" Eri looked up at him.

"Nah not really but still I discovered a very useful thing.Also what did I say about calling me mister Izu, I'm only like 7 years older." Izuku whined.

"Okay Izu!" Eri shouted.

Maybe one day I won't have to remind her Izuku lamented."I'm sorry I gave away Air Cannon Eri, I know you liked it." Izuku still felt guilty about that, though a certain meeting later today might be rectifying that, Izuku would be going quirk dark before said meeting.He needed to take as many as he could in one go so Izuku would be going in relatively light compared to his normal loadout.

"It's okay Izu, I saw how happy it made uwawaka.I don't mind."

Izuku just rubbed the girls hair."Alright I'm going to have to leave with Toshinori and Momo soon.You going to be okay with Nedzu?"

"Yea yea!" The girl nodded her head vigorously.

"Good, alright let me drop these off first." Izuku first gave Eri Zero Gravity."Don't overdo it and start vomiting okay?" Izuku then found Ananiel, two of the hand goats, and one of the monkeys and gave them Water Cutter, Molecular Manipulation, Tempo, and Minor Regeneration.That left Izuku with Warp Gate, Transfer, Rewind, Muscular, and Breath of Life.(Izuku dared not ever remove that quirk on the off chance everything he gave life just dropped once he lost it) That left Izuku with 7 quirks he could steal while still giving him a decent chance in a fight if he needed to and he could escape with Warp Gate if he really needed too.

"I'll be back later Eri, have fun but be safe." Izuku dropped her off with Aizawa before leaving.

Aizawa once took a peek at what the problem child had been doing on the roof and the erasure hero swore he'd never go up there again.

At the entrance to the 1-A dorms both All Might and Momo were waiting."So It's time for the big meeting."

"So it is Young Midoriya.Are you sure you want to meet with the man?You do not have to and no one would judge you for not wanting too." Toshinori said, he was currently wearing his All Might suit but it barely fit the gaunt man.

"I'm still worried about this Izuku." Momo genuinely never wanted to see All For One again.

"Unfortunately I'm more than sure, I need to do this, not just for his victims but for myself.If anything happens I'll warp us all right back here to safety Mo." The greenette explained.

"Well onwards then my boy, my car awaits." Toshinori led the group to his shitty station wagon.

Momo decided to finally voice her question."Toshi, we want to know about Nana.I know it's a sore subject but don't I at least deserve to know?"

Toshinori had frankly been expecting this sooner or later and relented."Yes, yes, you do, both of you really." Toshinori pulled the car out of the U.A. parking lot and began driving, the man clearly needing to collect his thoughts."I already mentioned her quirk float but I suppose that's not what you both want to know about.Although a request, if you can take quirks from him my boy, could you get me that one?Please, I don't want it in the hands of that monster anymore."

Izuku solemnly nodded."Me and Kuroe will rip it from the bastard with as much force as we can."

"Do please be careful though, just because you won the Tug of War last time doesn't mean you'll win this time, overconfidence could be your downfall my boy." Yagi added.

"I know, but I managed to outsteal a quirk while unconscious and with quirk suppressing cuffs on me, I'm just saying the odds are in my favour.I promise I won't go in carelessly All Might.The last thing we need is for him to get Warp Gate from me or something horrifying like that." If that happened All For One would break out instantly.

Momo was glaring at Izuku."I still REALLY don't like this idea."

"Good my boy, just exercise caution and if you feel yourself losing simply let go of the man.Now as to Nana, let me see... she was like the sun.She believed that a hero should always smile no matter what the situation, the smile on your face would show the person you were saving that they were safe.If you ever show fear or that you could fail then the people you tried to save would do the same and begin to fear.Nana was the best thing to ever to happen to me if I'm being honest."

All Might looked up wistfully when he said that."I honestly didn't get to know her for that long but in the few short years that I did, she saved me.I'd wanted to help people more than anything but my status as quirkless made that nearly impossible.Nana didn't see just some useless quirkless person, she just saw a worthy successor.She passed the quirk to me at the age of 15, I'd known her for a year at that point.She ... passed at the end of my second year at U.A., Torino saved me during that battle where I left Nana to die.That was probably the single greatest regret of my life, Torino was my teacher for my third year of U.A. but I wasn't ready at the time so Torino recommended I go to America after graduation where All For One's influence was weaker.There I trained until I returned to Japan and finally defeated him, or so I thought." All Might looked very melancholic at the end."So yeah that's the kind of person Nana was, she was my inspiration."

Both Momo and Izuku looked between each other, not quite sure what to say.

"Ha Ha!That was the past my proteges, don't worry about this old man's woes.You two have plenty of your own to worry about, as long as you trust your allies and work together I have no doubt you will succeed.You already have reached a point where I truly believe you two can put down any evil, after all Young Yaoyorozu every user of One for All is on your side and Young Midoriya, you have already reached the level of the old All For One.I have no doubt the world will be in a better place with the two of you in it." The eighth user of One of All wanted to cheer up the mood.

Momo wiped a tear from her eye."Thank you Toshi, we don't deserve you.You stood as the worlds shield for the longest time I just hope we do your legacy proud."

Izuku wiped a red substance from his nose but shared the sentiment."Yeah I don't know what would've happened to me if I didn't meet you All Might, you saved me.Please never forget that."

"Alright we're getting a tad too emotional in this car you two, remember where we're going and steel your resolves.This is not a person we can meet while showing our emotions, he will use them against us." Toshinori while on the verge of crying knew that he really really could not show such weakness.

His two successors just nodded and they finished the rest of the trip in relative silence, the only thing heard being the radio.

The iron gates of Tartarus stood before the shitty station wagon of the previous number 1 and his two successors.The lightning crackled and rain dropped from the sky."Is it me or does it look way more intimidating than normal?" Izuku asked aloud into the car.

It was a sentiment shared by everyone in the car honestly, did the weather have to be this bad on the same day they went to literally meet the being known as the lord of the underworld.Even the security checks felt more ominous somehow, the guards all that more intimidating.The group proceeded as per usual however, they just went deeper and deeper into the veritable fortress.On the way down the elevator flanked by multiple security guards with guns, only then did the atmosphere really settle upon the group."All Might sir and Deva and All For None, he's located in the cell up ahead.You'll have 15 minutes with him."

One of the faceless mask wearing guards said to the group, thank god they all had the foresight to use their hero costumes.Izuku has honestly already had his face exposed enough, honestly it was to the point that the mask felt superfluous, but he still felt a bit better having it on.

Standing in front of the door All Might was the one who bared enough courage to open the door.A dark everpresent voice entered the minds of the trio the second they entered the door."This place is a bit uncomfortable you know.For example, let's say I get an itch and I want to scratch, the second I try to do so every gun in the place is aimed at me.Your vital signs, brain waves, everything, EVERYTHING is monitored at all times, if I even attempted to use my quirk I'd be gunned down on the spot.To be imprisoned in such a place covered by so many levels of security it has been named after a myth ... they call it Tartarus a greek legend if I recall correctly.It is the name of the god of hell, truly a place for someone as irredeemable as me."

"You will never leave this place I hope you know that, and every time we visit, more and more of the power you've stolen will be taken from you.Quite the fitting punishment is it not? ... All For One." All Might decided to play his opponents game and taunt him back.

"Ah yes Izuku Midoriya, the boy who will inherit my legacy or will he?You think because my power has betrayed me that it is solely yours?" All For One questioned the group."Where is that pitiful fool Gran Torino?Did he not have the courage to face me once more, instead he must use children in his place?" The voice sickeningly twisted in their minds.

"These children were responsible for your downfall were they not?" All Might bit back.

"Ah yes my two greatest failures come to confront me, it is poetic is it not?I created One for All via my younger brother and I created the next natural born All For One user only to lose them to my enemy, truly these two facts are what has caused my downfall.Ever seeking knowledge has ruined the scientist more than once it seems." All For One cackled in their mind."So what, you're here to have the boy steal the quirks I've taken and give them back?Even if you succeed it does not matter, I'm no longer a piece on the board, you're merely seeking self satisfaction at this point All Might, and I must say it's pitiful."

"You call it pitiful but that sounds like a bluff to me, you're merely trying to convince us that you're simply not a threat anymore.We aren't stupid enough to fall for that All For One." All Might sneered.

All For One just laughed."Such hostility, well if you think you can take my quirks then feel free to try.He's already succeeded once has he not?Let's see if it's a bluff Izuku Midoriya, will you be the next successor of my power or not?Or should I say All For None?I must say the name is an insult to my very being, you take my name and repurpose it into something to satisfy yourself."

Izuku was gritting his teeth ready to accept the challenge straight up, Momo just squeezed his hand and All Might clapped his shoulder."Remember be careful, do not do anything reckless." Izuku remembered himself at that moment and stood.The boy felt Kuroe was raging wanting to prove itself the superior version but Izuku calmed it, we will be patient and wait for our chance to strike.

"All For None is approaching the villain." Izuku spoke from under his mask, our first target is float but we really aim for whatever he overextends with Kuroe.Izuku approached the mummified man, the only place All For One wasn't covered was his face which is where Izuku grabbed initiating contact between the two beings.

The world became dark and a familiar war began, a multitude of strings stood on either side but what Izuku noticed is that the other had no singular string.His opponent's army was measured by the power of numbers whereas Izuku's was in the strength of Kuroe itself.Play the waiting game Kuroe, we have to fight guerilla style warfare, we'll pick them off one at a time.If you get overwhelmed we lose, so make sure you protect yourself first and foremost.The only advantage his group had down here was that Izuku himself could command his other strings meaning it was Kuroe's job to attack and Izuku's job to defend, the two would work in tandem to rip as many of his opponents weapons away as he could.That being said a 35ish v 7 wasn't exactly a favourable battle, Izuku actively tried to break contact with the battlefield but found himself stuck in this world.It seems All For One is smarter than Izuku gave him credit for.Izuku changed the formation of strings putting the Warp Portal in front, it was a risky move but the string constituted much more power than the average single string, he'd need it to hold off the others.Kuroe itself was positioned off to the side waiting to strike, he was worth more than Warp Portal but Izuku had no idea by how much since he'd never been able to give it to anyone, Izuku would wager it to be around the 10 department worth of quirks.Bringing their total battle strength to 17 quirks worth, definitely not good numbers.

The first strings to move was a squadron of 5 sent by the opponent, clearly a feint to try and make Kuroe expose himself.Izuku had his strings back off and see if they'd overextend.When they did not Izuku realized how exactly this fight was going to go, he was playing a chess match with quirks as the pawns.Kuroe was his queen and Warp Portal was his King, everything else was a pawn.While his opponent had nearly double the pawns to toss around, most of the quirks were not anything special on their own.That made Izuku question how exactly All For One's quirk worked since there was no central leader, he was more akin to a hole where quirks could be piled whereas Kuroe was a leader unit that rallied quirks behind it.

Seeing as the initial charge hadn't lead to anything and the vast majority of his forces were concentrated on Kuroe Izuku knew he needed to abuse the fact that he had two super units.He moved all four of his 'pawn' quirks to the left and forward, his opponent had just employed the same strategy but Izuku's was not the same.As the opponent's left flank backed up from the advance of the quirks he had Kuroe rush forward quickly grabbing a quirk from the right and pulling it to his side, at the same time the 4 'advancing' quirks retreated.Now it was 18 to 34ish as Kuroe was the key to his whole strategy, however his opponent would be clear to pick up on that and not let his main unit land a strike again.There was never a time where Izuku had appreciated Nedzu more than right now.

Izuku knew the guerilla style type attack led by kuroe was his only advantage as it'd take multiple quirks of the opponent to counter his own so it was time to swap things up and use Kuroe as the bait.Izuku sent Kuroe forward in an 'attempt' to grab a lingering string, as the surroundings quirks moved on kuroe Izuku had it quickly stop and move back, leaving multiple strings overextended, Warp Portal took one and another 3 strings took another.20 to 32 at the moment, Izuku must be nearing his quirk limit in the real world, which was the real issue he'd drawn 3 quirks from his opponent meaning he was at 11 of 15.No matter how grand his strategy was if Izuku hit his quirk limit he was done.Izuku needed to stall until people came to his rescue in the real world, so no more offensive strategies, only defensive ones.This void went on forever so all Izuku needed to was continually back up his pawns and use Kuroe and Warp Gate to stall.

Izuku briefly wondered what this looked like for All For One, he couldn't see the strings after all.The other thought that occurred to him was how time worked in here, Izuku hoped it wasn't much too different from the real world.Izuku watched as the opponent's quirks started to twine themselves together becoming one powerful rope and honestly he didn't like the look of that.How could Izuku have forgotten, his opponent specialized in combining quirks.Izuku looked at Breath of Life and told it to have Ivory start pecking Momo, he needed out, now!The massive knot began speeding up and barreling down upon Izuku, apparently this place wasn't limitless as it felt like he'd hit a wall.Izuku could copy his opponents strategy but all it would do is slow him down, he was quickly running out of room.Think Izuku Think, he was in here and All For One wasn't.Izuku decided to put himself in front of his strings and try to stop them himself, he was able to pull them before why couldn't he now?Izuku struck his hand out and tried to swipe the quirk rope away only to find himself back in reality, Momo had grabbed him and pulled himself back from the man."Izuku are you okay?!"

Izuku recovering from the shock."I think?"

"Midoriya my boy did you get them?" Toshinori was in the doorway to the outer cell.

"Luck is its own factor it seems." The voice reverberated in their head.

The trio looked back upon the man in confusion.

"Oh nothing." All For One cackled.

"I have my own questions, what did you do to Hagakure, to Toga?" Izuku asked.

"Whatever do you mean?I simply 'opened' their minds." The man with a ventilator spoke.

Izuku grit his teeth but a voice over the intercom spoke."You three back away from the man, your goal has been accomplished hasn't it?"

Izuku absolutely refused to back down."TELL ME!WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM!" Izuku promised to save them, he needed to know whatever evils the man subjected them too.Hagakure was still haunted by migraines and could not remember her past, while Toga was trapped with the league.

"Does it make you angry?Does it assault your very being?How does it feel to have those precious to you hurt?Does it feel good?Then you should ask All Might, how does it feel to have earned your spot by standing over the bodies of my comrades?Did they tell you All Might?About Nana Shimura's grandson?" When the mans taunt came up short he just started laughing."Oh how long I've been waiting to ruin this for you.Tomura Shigaraki is her grandson, the very same person you've mercilessly been trying to beat to a pulp with your fists.I've even orchestrated situations for you two to meet, despite his failures.Now even your two successors have lied to you.You truly could not be a worse teacher." The man just started cackling evilly.

"Get away from him now!" The guards yelled.

Toshinori on the other hand was going to strangle this villain."THAT WOMAN GAVE UP HER FAMILY IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEM, YOU'D VIOLATE THEIR SANCTITY LIKE THAT?"

"ALL MIGHT STOP!" The guards rushed into the room grabbing the man by his shoulders.

"What?Does it sound like something I wouldn't do?I even took that woman's quirk just to spite you." All For One laughed as All Might was forcibly dragged away from the scene.

The guards holding All Might released him once they got out of the cell and it was relocked."Sir." One of them waved before they departed as a group.

Tsukauchi just looked on in resignation."What the hell was that All Might?I pulled so many favours just to get this meeting and you go in guns blazing?Hell I half thought you were going to assault him.As for you Midoriya, what happened?Once you touched him the two of you just started shaking in place, we called out to you like 8 times.It wasn't until Yaoyorozu pulled you off of him that you responded."

"Can you blame me, he turned the grandson of my master into a villain and stole her quirk.You can't honestly tell me you would've kept your cool Tsukauchi." Yagi bent into a wall trying to regain himself.

"I honestly don't know but I do know I have to thank Nedzu later.We ended up in that void like space and started fighting for the quirks, I was half worried I was going to lose.Thanks for pulling me out Momo." Izuku gave her a thumbs up.

"Well once Ivory started pecking at me and pointing his wing at you I knew something was up Izu." The girl just stated."Are you okay?"

"I'm glad that worked, I tried communicating with it but I wasn't sure what'd happen since I was in there.Yeah I'm fine, I even gained three quirks.Not as many as I'd wanted but I learned a great deal in All For One as well as what to do next time we fight.The more I pull the weaker he should get when I come to steal more."

"That's great news my boy, ... did you get hers?" Toshinori asked sheepishly.

"I don't know honestly, I just grabbed the three that I could, like I said it was a lot more dangerous than we thought." Izuku just shrugged.Izuku really doubted those tactics would work the next time he was here, and his opponent had clearly been learning during that exchange if the whole rope thing is anything to go by."Did she ever mention how she activated it?"

"Hmm not that I can recall, I've always been quirkless until One For All, if someone were to be an expert on activating different quirk's that'd be you my boy." Toshinori was stroking his chin.

"You're not wrong but usually I have an idea of what I'm trying to do or how the quirk works, although I suppose if the quirk just makes me float then ... It'd be something like this." Izuku lifted off the ground quietly floating in the air."Huh, I just realized you're going to have this quirk too, that's gonna be cool, we can fly through the air together Momo." Izuku gave her a bright smile while All Might looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"...My boy." Toshinori felt a tear come to his eye as he looked on.It was her, the man had come to miss her so much, and she was finally brought back to the right side.

Momo on the other hand simply remained quiet she did not want to ruin the moment.

Izuku spoke after a few moments of silence."Toshi do you want it?" Izuku used the nickname saved for precious moments.

Tsukauchi however felt like a third wheel at the moment and while enraged at his friend he didn't dare ruin this.

"No my boy you keep it, you need it far more than myself and Nana would find more joy if you used it for good." Just seeing it again where it belonged was good enough for him.

Izuku gently descended landing on the floor with a soft tap of his shoes.It felt nothing like flight with Air Cannon, this was far more ... peaceful.

Tsukauchi coughed after enough time had passed."Well what other quirks did you grab Midoriya?" Tsukauchi was slightly sad he only managed to grab 3 but it was better than nothing.

"Like I said no idea and I'm not a fan of releasing them inside of Tartarus of all places, once we're back at U.A. I'll try them out." Izuku explained to the group."Speaking of..." Izuku opened a portal to U.A. in front of the group."I've been trying to use it at least once a day, it hasn't harmed me too much and it's going miles towards increasing my control over it.The nosebleeds only happen like every other hour now."

"While I do appreciate the gesture my boy you're forgetting about my car." Toshinori explained.

"Oh no problem." Izuku raised his other arm and the group looked confusedly at the boy when nothing happened."I'm trying to get better at opening portals where I physically cannot see the things I'm portaling, you're car should be at U.A. now All Might."

The group just looked even more confusedly at the boy but were startled out of their confusion when Nedzu stepped through the portal."What's taking you all so long, come come." The mouses giddy voice called at them as he stepped through.

Izuku just followed with no hesitation and the rest of the group shrugged before following."Did I land the car correctly Nedzu?"

Nedzu just chuckled."Mostly it's sticking over the white line a tad."

Izuku snapped his fingers."Tch so close, I'll get it next time."

Momo kinda got why Izuku and Todoroki both wanted that quirk now.The ability to just create portals at will seemed very useful to possess.

The portal closed as the group entered and saw Eri happily working at her miniature desk in the principal's office."Hey Eri how are you?" Momo asked as she approached the girl.

"Mr.Mouse has me onto numbers now, he said I'm doing great!" Eri exclaimed.

Everyone in the room even Tsukauchi was trying not to squeal at the nickname the girl had given the principal.The person in question looked like he was blushing profusely."Ahem, yes she is making excellent progress now may I ask why a portal has appeared in my office?If I didn't know you were in possession of the quirk I would've had a heart attack."

"Oh I just wanted to let you know I succeeded and stole some of his quirks but I don't think we should do so again for a while.It honestly felt like a battle of wits but he had twice as much power and he would've won if that kept going.I got lucky and caught him off guard in rounds 1 and 2 but after round 3 being smart wasn't going to cut it, it was just raw strength versus raw strength.I'm going to need to train with Kuroe until I believe myself stronger than him.Well that and I wanted your permission to go practice some quirks that were being used by a supervillain.No idea what I took, so better safe than sorry." Izuku explained to everyone in the room.

"That is fine by me, your class should almost be done with Gym Gamma, simply rejoin them and do so with Aizawa after class.You all are excused, oh did you need anything Tsukauchi?"

"I suppose I could go over some files with you, nothing that couldn't be done by phone call but I'm already here so might as well." The detective responded.

The trio of All Might, Izuku, and Momo left after that walking quietly towards the gym."Any idea what quirks you got my boy?"

"Well they aren't mutation or the mutation is so subtle or I'd have noticed something like Eri's horn popping up.Based on what we saw and since I don't feel strengthend or anything I can assume it's not one of those.He was still able to talk into our minds after it so it wasn't that either.Of what we've seen that leaves the air cannon quirk and limb elasticity as options, other than that no idea All Might." Izuku just shrugged, 'what about you Kuroe?Got any ideas?' Izuku asked his quirk, he didn't get a reply and he honestly wasn't expecting too.

"Well we'll find out shortly, just like Eri's quirk we just have to play it safe and hope for the best." Momo just leaned her head against her boyfriend as they walked.

The trio was violently assaulted by noise as they opened the doors to the TDL.

"AP SHOT!"

"FLAMING SPIDER WEB!"

"RECIPROBURST!"

Various shouts echoed out across the hall as students worked on their super moves.Bakugo looked down at Ectoplasm about to call for another clone when he saw the nerd walk in."Finally good enough for the rest of us Deku?"

It was weird to hear him use Deku not as an insult but it was like a breath of fresh air and not at all unpleasant."I thought maybe you could use some pointers." He snarked back.

"As if." The boy faux tch'd before calling back to Ectoplasm for another clone.

"It took 10 years but Bakugo Katsuki is a decent human being.Thank you God for rewarding me for my faith." Izuku put his hands together as if in prayer only for a person to come up behind him.

"Do you practice the teachings of our great Lord as well?I'd love to do bible study with you sometime."

Izuku turned around to see the vine haired girl of class 1-B directly in front of him, her entire class was behind her.Many stared in horror at the realization that Midoriya the bird god as he'd been nicknamed stood before them.

"Uh no sorry." Izuku sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

"That is a shame maybe I could talk to you about it sometime?" Ibara asked tilting her head.

Realizing that private bible study lessons with another girl was very likely going to anger Momo Izuku really only had one answer."Sorry but I'm going to have to politely decline." Izuku responded.

"Tis a shame but if you ever change your mind I would be glad to share the good word with you." Ibara beamed at the quirk giver.

Vlad King spoke next."Eraser it's our turn for the Gym!"

The hobo in question sat off to the side in his sleeping bag in a bench."We got 10 minutes left Vlad.Your class can stay and watch if they want."

Wait a minute Nedzu said the gym would be free and he isn't the type to mix up the schedule, what was he planning.'Did he want me to scare 1-B even more?' Izuku thought darkly, nah couldn't be.

"Umm Vlad King-Sensei, Nedzu said I could practice my new quirks once 1-A was done.Do you mind waiting a bit?It won't take long." Izuku didn't normally have audiences to these but what's the worst that could happen?

"That's fine, we'll give you a section of the gym while we warm up in the other sections." Vlad King responded.

On second thought Izuku should probably not be testing what could be potentially be the air cannon in here.That thing leveled city blocks with ease, although that was because his version was being enhanced by multiple quirks, his shouldn't be that dangerous, right?

Momo saw the look in Izuku eyes as it rapidly switched between fear and acceptance, not waiting any longer."Izu what's wrong?"

"I was just thinking maybe testing these indoors was a bad idea, remember how much damage that Air Cannon quirk did?" Izuku shuddered at the thought of letting one of those off indoors.

"On second thought let's go to the dirt lot we normally use or the woods." Momo agreed wholeheartedly.

Toshinori on the other hand didn't know if he wanted to stay and watch 1-B or tag along with his two predecessors.He eventually decided on the latter."I haven't gotten to see you use any new quirks or abilities in a while my boy, mind if I join?"

"No problem All Might." Izuku gave the man a smile before they walked off, he shouldn't tell him about rewind.Izuku didn't want to give the man false hope until he trusted himself using the quirk.

Deep in U.A.'s woods."Alright should be safe here and no prying eyes either.Alright I'm going to assume that activating his Air Cannon would be similar to my own, also we're renaming the quirks later." Izuku watched as the duo got behind him and Izuku held one hand out and imagined an explosion of air ripping from his hand, more like Bakugo's quirk and less like the constant stream that Galeforce was.Izuku kept that up for several minutes before either deciding he was using it wrong or he didn't have that quirk.Izuku turned back to speak only for a massive explosion to rip from his right hand as he pointed it at the ground launching him into the sky.

Thankfully Momo caught him before he could hit the ground."My hero." Izuku swooned to which the girl responded to by dropping him."Rude.Also are you two okay?"

"Are we okay?!My boy you nearly exploded yourself!" Toshinori was coughing large amounts of blood.

The man had a point Izuku felt like he had a concussion and he felt heavy bruising down his leg, when he looked down he saw he'd blown off the right of his hero costume.You know the thing made of spider silk that's 10 times stronger than kevlar."Oh."

Momo was furiously examining him to make sure he was alright."He seems fine if he's this lucid, relatively minor injuries at least.Izuku we've been over this, please be more careful we don't need you hurting yourself even if you can do that." The girl pointed aa the light green glow as it hummed throughout the boy's body.

"Sorry but at least we know which quirk I got, now we just gotta figure out why it didn't go off at first." Izuku stood before holding out his hand, time for attempt number two."I'll make sure to keep my hand pointed away from me at all times." Izuku said before they could object.

Momo just grumbled while Toshinori sighed.

Izuku held up his hand and thought back to a few seconds ago, when he turned back to face them what did he think?It won't 'fire'.As soon as Izuku thought that another blast left his hand this time cutting multiple trees down on its way, nowhere near as strong as when All For One used it but plenty strong in its own right.Huh All Might did say he shouted Smash when he used his quirk, maybe it's like that." I figured it out and let's get the naming out of the way I'll let Uraraka know later.Her quirk is now Galeforce and this one is Air Cannon.His old quirk is more like a constant stream while this one is like an actual cannon, a lot more reminiscent of Bakugo's quirk.

"Just make sure you don't blow yourself up again Young Midoriya." All Might added.

"Alright I still have one quirk to go but do you want to try and see if you can make Blackwhip appear Momo?" Izuku asked the only girl present.

"I'm going to pass on that for now Izu, let's get you handled first okay?" The girl just gave a strained smile at the end of that sentence.

"Whatever you say Mo." Izuku started prodding the string he'd taken, trying to figure out what it did.This would be the second time a quirk he stole from All For One greatly tripped him up, the man had to have had a few quirks help keeping him alive, maybe this was one of them?That would mean it's some kind of passive ability, so a mutation quirk likely.Izuku did have Minor Regeneration which was like that, had Izuku had anything passively improved over the day?He did have zero nosebleeds but Izuku highly doubted that was because of a quirk, that was much more likely his body having finally gotten used to Warp Gate.Izuku kept thinking of possible ideas even that whole springlike limbs thing All For One had, none of them seemed to work."I honestly have no idea how to even use this quirk, I keep pulling on the string but nothing is happening.Maybe it's one of those enhancer quirks?Does that mean they can't be used alone?" Izuku decided to test his hypothesis by pulling on the string while activating Air Cannon."Air Cannon plus strength enhancer." He muttered to himself when he let the quirk off this time the explosion was noticeably larger, going further and ravaging even more trees."Oh ... so that's how he does it."

Momo looked at the destruction in awe, that was just a single use of a ranged quirk yet the wide range devastation was intense."Izuku I don't need to remind you not to aim that at somebody correct?"

"Of course not Momo, this blew off my armor!It'd probably kill a regular person!" Izuku near screamed in panic at his new power but remembering his armor also reminded him he needed to replace those goats for the support course.He'd make sure to do that by the end of the day.

"Well are we done my boy?Seems like this has been a useful few tests myself." All Might asked.

"I'd say so." Izuku did have a few more ideas but looking at the carnage he wrought he decided that maybe this was good enough for now.Instead he simply tried to vastly lower the output of the cannon.That succeeded and Izuku realized he would likely need to talk to Bakugo about how he flew, ughhhhhh he was not looking forward to that conversation.

The trio returned to the dorms and relaxed but not before Izuku had brought a few pieces of ruined tree to the support course and turned them into silk weaving goats.

Izuku sat in the middle of the TDL everyone around him was focusing on making new super moves but his focus was on Momo.Izuku wanted to help her get control of her new quirk so he decided to be her training partner."Last time you said the quirk activated when you wanted to reach out and grab something, so let's try that.Try to grab that pillar with it."

Momo just stood in frustration with her arm outstretched trying to bring out Blackwhip for several minutes."It's no use Izu I have no idea how to do it." Momo lamented.

"Well I don't like it but last time you were in danger right?What if we simulate that by having me attack you or something?" Izuku asked the girl, he could fire off some Air Cannon's near her and make it dangerous but never hit her obviously.

"I guess we can try that, I'll ask Cementoss to make us a larger area to spar together." Momo walked off to go ask the teacher while Izuku looked down at his newly repaired costume, Mei did a good job as usual.Although Izuku doubted the girl got any sleep, he should have Shinsou force her to take a nap or something later, she definitely deserved it.Momo returned not much later and a decently large section of the TDL had been walled off for them to use.

"Alright Izuku let's do this." Momo gave a snarky grin to her boyfriend.

How long had it been since the two fought each other?Pretty long actually now that Izuku thought about it.Izuku stretched briefly rolling his neck and getting ready."You're so going down Mo." Izuku jumped into the air and held himself there as muscles began forming around his body, he remembered how this went last time and refused to let a repeat of the Sports Festival occur.All quirks online, ready to go.Izuku blasted himself to the ground into the waiting arms of Momo much faster than she could react.The only thing stopping him from violently gut punching the girl was his remembrance of what happened to Toga, Izuku instead whizzed by harmlessly.Why hadn't Momo responded to his attack?

"Mo are you ok?" He turned only to see a net quickly being launched at him, as if that'd work Izuku just blasted the thing back at his opponent making sure to keep it on the weaker side, considering the damage it was capable of dealing.. Izuku watched the girl burn the net out of the air but now she was covered in armor, had a shield in one arm and a staff in the other while black lightning occasionally sparked from her body."Oh so you're finally ready?"

"Sorry Zu I hesitated for a bit." The girl looked a little sad in her eyes.

Izuku instantly relaxed."Mo what's wrong?"

"I-I just sorry I saw the muscle quirk and I remembered that night and I froze and I -" Momo looked like she was about to start having a panic attack.

Izuku instantly released that quirk and walked forward to give the girl a hug."Mo we made it, I made it.I won't use that quirk if you don't want to see it."

"Thanks Izu." Hugging the person you were supposed to be sparring was pretty counterintuitive but she was hurting and Izuku felt so nice.After a few minutes Momo had calmed down enough to continue."Okay I'm good now, you can use the quirk again."

"Are you sure?I don't have too, I can just go borrow the normal one from Aizawa-sensei." Izuku didn't like forcing his girlfriend to relive trauma if he didn't have too.

"No I need to get past this, for me ... please."

Izuku saw the determination in her eyes and how could he refuse that.Izuku took a few steps back creating some distance between the two before reactivating the quirk.Momo visible tensed as the muscle fibers began to cover his body once more but she didn't break down like the last time.

"Okay I'm ready." The girl picked up the shield and staff she'd drop earlier and resumed the stance she had previously.Lightning began to crackle off of her as 11% of One For All coursed through her body.

"Remember, were trying to get you to use Blackwhip, try and feel what happened on that night.I'm going to start attacking now." With that Izuku launched himself forward limiting himself to only a bit of Muscular, 100% of that quirk was far too risky.Izuku slammed into the spot Momo had been previously, the girl leapt upwards and was about to come down on Izuku from above she was already swinging her staff down upon his head.Izuku activated Tempo and simply grabbed the offending object before throwing it and Momo into a nearby wall.

The ninth user of One For All had different plans and a trampoline came out of her back right as she was going to collide with the wall in question.She quickly bounced straight back towards Izuku using some of the force of the throw as well as her own strength in order to blast herself straight at her opponent.

Izuku's eyes widened at Momo's counter to his attack, Tempo had ended so he just held up his arm as the staff came down.Izuku felt the impact from the weapon even through his muscle fibers, likely bruising him.Izuku stuck out his other hand and fired a weak Air Cannon at the girl's torso, denting the armor she was wearing and blowing her back.Izuku was trying to make her use Blackwhip so he decided he was going to fight this battle at a range.The boy switched to Water Cutter, Air Cannon, and Molecular manipulation, he didn't want to maim the girl so he was only using balls of ice instead of anything potentially lethal.

Momo's shield started denting under the barrage of solid ice as she held it up to block the blows, realizing her shield wasn't going to hold for long she dropped the staff and formed a smoke grenade dropping it on the spot.

Izuku just stared at the sight in confusion."Momo you do know I can still see you right?"

"Yeah but it got you to stop firing didn't it dear?" Momo held in her hands a tranquilizer gun and began pulling her finger back aiming it at Izuku's right leg since it wasn't covered by any muscle fibers.

Well she wasn't wrong however... "Momo don't do it." Momo really.Don't.

"Too late dear!" Momo finished pulling the trigger only for her to feel a dart hit the back of her leg."Wha-" Was the last thing the girl said before she started falling, she felt Izuku catch her but blackness swiftly followed.

Izuku felt snapshot end and sighed, Air gun projectiles travel at 1200 feet per second but that wasn't the important part.The important part would be where Izuku had zoomed in on her finger waiting for the shot to be fired, only for it to go through a portal and be redirected into her leg.Izuku set Momo down gently, she probably used the weak stuff and would be up in roughly 10ish minutes.Izuku just let the girl sleep in his lap while the drug wore off.Izuku heard a certain pink skinned girl in the distance giggling and pointing but he paid it no mind.

Momo groggily got up as she slowly started piecing together what happened, as she looked up she saw Izuku staring down at her with those cute dimples.

"Morning sleepyhead, I did tell you not to.We're trying to make you use Blackwhip remember?" Izuku saw the recognition in the girls eyes as she realized what happened.

Momo shot out of the boy's lap looking around to get her bearings before sighing in defeat."How long was I out Izu?"

"Eh like 9 minutes, nothing major.Was it a nice nap?" Izuku asked the girl genuinely.

"It's been awhile since I've accidentally tranquilized myself." How long has it been?4, 5 years?The girl made a mental note to check for portals before using her weapons against Izuku in the future."That trick won't work again." She started pouting.

"I doubt it, you're pretty smart Ms. Number 1." Izuku snickered before standing himself."So before you tried to tranq me, did it feel like anything was working?"

Mom remembered the purpose of the training and thought back."Honestly no, and the only hint I have is that Banjo said I need to control my feelings to use it, which is an awful hint." Momo pouted trying to remember what she had been feeling that night.All she could remember ...

was ...

rage.Oh she's an idiot, Momo thought to herself."Izuku make me as angry as you possibly can."

"What?" Izuku looked confusedly at his girlfriend.

"I think it's tied to my anger." Momo quickly explained.

Izuku catching on quickly."Momo I cheated on you with Mina." That did not have the intended effect as Momo just deflated after he said that.

"R-really?" The girls demeanor quickly worsened.

Izuku started frantically waving his hands."No no no no I'd never cheat on you, you said to make you angry!"

Momo's mood slightly swung back."Sorry, I should've realized." Momo's head just drooped some more.

Okay we're done with training today Izuku said to himself.Momo is clearly having an off day, I'm going to take her back to the dorms make her some food and we're going to binge those documentaries she loves so much.Izuku strode over to the girl and grabbed before hugging her again."We're done for the day okay Momo?Remember what you said to me at the sports festival?"

Momo just slowly shook her head.

"It's okay to have an off day." Izuku smiled before pulling her deeper into the hug."We're going back to the dorms and relaxing, I AM going to make you food, you're NOT going to leave the couch and I WILL be cuddling with you under the blanket.Do I make myself clear?"

Momo's face brightened a bit as she heard that.Maybe she really did need some time off, this entire year has been one PTSD event after another.It's not surprising that she's mentally suffering a bit, even if they did all made it out okay in the end.The girl just let her boyfriend walk her through a portal back to the U.A. dorms.

"I'm making your favourite, now sit." Izuku half instructed half commanded the girl.Izuku returned shortly before taking a bunch of blankets and wrapping the girl up.This was shortly followed by the boy turning the TV on to "How it's Made.", Momo loved binging the show as it was both entertaining and helped with her quirk.With the raven haired girl situated Izuku quickly moved to the kitchen to start making her Udon.Izuku made sure to keep looking back at Momo intermittently while he cooked.The girl seemed docile at the very least, way more relaxed then before.Other than that it looked like the lights were on in her head but nobody was home.Izuku swore she'd fallen asleep but when he walked over plates in tow his girlfriend's eyes were blankly staring at the TV."Here you go Momo." Izuku handed her the plate before joining her under the ball of blankets.

They both sat in silence until Momo spoke."Do you think it's going to keep being like this Izuku?Villain attacks are only surging and we both have targets on our back.Not to mention the unpleasant mob that is still situated outside U.A. for like the fifth day in a row." Momo was just staring at her food not eating while she spoke.

"I'd say it's going to get easier but your right Momo, it likely isn't." Izuku wasn't going to lie to the girl."However that doesn't mean we shouldn't rest when we can and that's exactly what we're doing right now." Izuku set his plate on the table and leaned into her."It's going to get better one day I promise, one day we'll be able to look back and laugh, well maybe not laugh but we WILL be able to look back and feel proud of ourselves for making it through everything we did.We're going to get Shigaraki, we'll protect Eri from the bastards that hurt her, the public will eventually give up bothering us and I promise you I'll be with you through it all Momo.

Momo gave him a bright smile before holding up her pinky."Promise?"

Izuku pushed her hand down which greatly worried the girl but he quickly reassured her."Considering how badly the last one of those I made, how about this for a promise." Izuku gave her a light peck before pulling away and chuckling softly."Really that had to be the world's worst pinky promise."

Momo smiled a bit at that and leaned back into Izuku."Your right it was absolutely tragic Izu."

Aizawa walked into the common room after noticing the abrupt disappearance of two of his students.Only to find them on the couch silently enjoying each others company.They'd both had it rough enough lately, they likely need some time off.The man had a small smile on his face, 'I'm not going to interrupt that, and technically school still hadn't started back up yet so who really cares.' Aizawa left quietly out the front door leaving the two to themselves.

Momo woke up when she heard a noise behind her, she quickly remembered how she got here and saw Izuku's sleeping face.When he's not awake he looks so innocent, his was face completely relaxed, it's nice to see him not worrying about things for once.Outside it was getting dark which implied they had been here for several hours at least.The TV was at a low volume and was still playing "How it's Made." while they slept.Momo finally turned and saw a very pale girl with blonde hair and a buzz cut sitting there at the door staring at the two of them.Momo held up her hand putting a finger to her lips indicating for the girl to be quiet.Hagakure thankfully nodded and quietly closed the front door before heading into the commons and then up to her own room.Momo was just happy it wasn't Mina that found them, she'd likely be here soon however.Momo really didn't want to wake Izuku but it was probably time for her to do so.The girl lightly shook her boyfriend who in turn drearily woke up.

Izuku rubbed his eyes as he started stirring from his slumber."Hey Momo, how long did we sleep?"

The ninth user just pulled out her phone and looked."Seems our nap went a bit longer than it should have." Momo felt a breeze get into their blanket and since winter had been fast approaching she shivered at the loss of warmth, she quickly pulled the blanket around themselves tighter.

Izuku let out a lazy yawn."We should probably try and do something active to tire ourselves out before bed or our sleep schedule is going to be off.Nedzu likely isn't a fan of the fact I skipped out on yet another day of learning super moves, I'll definitely have to be there tomorrow.Though I do have a few ideas that should placate the rat, and as for you we'll definitely get you Blackwhip, I believe in you Mo." Izuku gave her a bright smile.

"At least someone does." Momo huffed.

"That's not fair you know Toshinori does as well, and while Aizawa would never admit he does as well.C'mon what makes you angry Momo, we can use that as a source for the power." Izuku explained.

Honestly Momo was a pretty hard person to anger, of the few times in life she'd really snapped the forest incident was easily the time she'd been the angriest in her entire life.The girl's only thoughts at the time had been, how dare they do this and I won't let them get away with it."We don't even know if that's how it really works Izu."

Izuku responded by grabbing her arm."One For All, give her more advice your such a stupid uncontrollable and vague quirk, for once do your damn job and help the successor of your power!" Izuku spoke quietly but angrily at the quirk.

Momo kind of agreed with Izuku's stance, One For All was such a strange quirk and it had to go and make everything so cryptic."Izuku you don't have to yell at my quirk for me." Momo laughed.

"Yeah I do it deserves it, instead of all of this cloak and dagger bullshit it should just talk to you straight up.On top of that why did it wait until you to start acting weird like this, why not All Might or Nana?" Izuku still held her arm, half questioning her half questioning the quirk.

"Oi what are you two nerds up to?" Bakugo's angry voice came from the door until he stomped into the room.

Momo really not in the mood to deal with anyone today bit back and leveled a glare at Bakugo "Nothing, how about you?"

Bakugo noticed immediately how agitated the girl was and decided not to poke the bear."Eh just going to my room."

Izuku stared dumbfounded at Momo."Did you just ... scare Bakugo off?" Izuku knew not to mess with an angry Momo but being able to scare off Bakugo was an entirely different level of achievement.

Momo remembered the final exams and everything else Bakugo put people through before scoffing."Took him long enough, I've had you scared straight since day one."

Izuku remembered the cafeteria and chuckled."Yeah you did my lady.Does the young misses require anything else?"

"That will be all, you are dismissed." Momo joked back.

Both of them let out a small chuckle remembering how they met."It was so much easier back then wasn't it?"

Izuku just nodded."Yeah it was, you feeling any better?"

"A lot, thanks Izu, now let's take this upstairs.We can let Aizawa handle Eri today." The girl sat up and dragged her boyfriend along to her room.

The class once again reconvened in the TDL for the final day, their license exams will be soon and Momo couldn't be more anxious.The ravenette really wanted to unlock Blackwhip before the day of the exam, so she decided to do everything in her power to unleash it today."Alright I'm going to do it, I'm going to control my new quirk." Momo was mentally pumping herself up as she readied herself, she needed to be angry but more than that, in control.

Izuku was actually impressed by the sheer amount of determination on Momo's face, she really really wanted this."Alright Mo, is there anything in particular you want me to do or say or do you want to do this on your own?"

"I'm doing this by myself, you master different quirks all the time, for once I'm going to do the same." Momo sat down in front of the rock pillar from yesterday and started meditating.One For All, you are my power, you listen to me, I am not a slave to the past users.Momo sat in contemplation about her powers, a movie Izuku showed her resonated within her memories 'That's the secret, I'm always angry.' That singular feeling encompassed her, she was angry, she was angry at the villains, at her lack of control, at the previous users, at the events that led her to this point.Momo used that as her fuel she would no longer fail, she might be guaranteed to have All Might's strength one day but that was no longer enough, she needed it now.The thing she was most angry at, the thing that would drive her, was the anger at herself.Momo dived deep and felt the core of One For All, she felt it silently vibrating within herself, she would no longer fail, she would no longer let the world around her dictate her actions.She felt a resonation of sorts coming from the core and it was going to be bent to her will whether it liked it or not.

Momo grabbed at the core with all of her power and squeezed, she felt the thing try to resist at first but momo simply put more of her will into controlling it.'You are mine and I am yours, give me your secrets One For All.' Suddenly the ninth felt an explosion of power throughout her body and she was surrounded in that black substance once more it was emanating wildly from both of her arms, they writhed without any semblance of control.Momo opened her eyes to see to see the whip violently lashing out all around her, she was thankful then that Cementoss gave them their own section of the TDL, the black mass seemed to be violently hurling itself at the only other person nearby which happened to be Izuku himself.Momo was scared of her power for the briefest of moments but then she saw the smile on Izuku's face as he opened his arms and let Blackwhip impact with him.

The effect was instant, they were both back inside the core of One For All.Eight figures lined up standing in a line next to Momo, she still didn't have a mouth but more of her had formed she could flex her right hand now.One of the figures which she assumed was Toshinori was still very wispy and ghost like, nothing like the solid figures of the other 7.When the girl turned and looked forward she saw Izuku and his quirks doing something similar on the other side.It felt like two sides staring each other down right before a war would begin.Momo did the only thing she could and floated forward, she heard a few of the other past users gasp or tell her to get back but Momo had long since decided that she was in control, she strode proudly until she reached the middle point and held her hand out.

Izuku smiled seeing his girlfriend so commanding, so in charge.How could he do anything less?Izuku walked forward and took her hand in his and for the first time in over 200 years One For All and All For One were truly reunited.The silent oath was made between the two, they never needed words and neither the remnants of All For One or One For All mattered, they would walk into the future together as one power split between two.Izuku listened as a few of the previous users started screaming at the girl, the first easily being the loudest, for her to get back but both of them ignored the voices.Instead they treated them as mere background noise."You sure about this?"

The girl didn't even hesitate."I'm sure."

Izuku tested the girl for All For One as she in turn wanted to give the boy One For All, being able to skip the DNA step as for once One For All did not try and dodge Izuku's attempts to steal it.However instead of actually taking the quirk Izuku just let the two quirk strings connect and it felt strangely nice, like two old friends meeting once more.There was a calm as a light began to expand from their combined hands.The world instantly exploded in light and both were returned to the real world.

Izuku awoke staring at the ceiling of the gym while Momo was still sitting in her meditative position, he blinked a few times before speaking."Wha - What just happened?" Izuku asked to the roof overhanging him.

Momo just giggled a bit before responding."I think One For All and All For One are friends again, at least I hope so.Right at the end before the light starting expanding, I swore I heard the first say something like "Older Brother"."

As Izuku finally sat up and faced the girl the first thing he noticed was she was crying, the second was he'd never seen the girl happier, however the third and most important thing was that Blackwhip hung loosely at her side.Whatever they'd just done clearly calmed the quirk down, Izuku decided to take a page out of Hagakure's book."Hey Wondergirl.You did it."

Momo looked to where Izuku was pointing and saw the tendrils whisping off of her body quietly.The ravenette called at them to move and to her surprise they did exactly as she asked, they were no longer the unruly child that refused to listen to her but now hers true and fully.Momo called them back into her body before launching them at Izuku and pulling him into her."Did I ever tell you I love you?" She grabbed her tied up boyfriend and pulled him in violently, making out with him on the spot.

Izuku to his credit and in his helpless situation just melted into the girl, it wasn't like he could move anyway, he was completely tied up by those black tendrils.Izuku wanted to assert control over the kiss despite his position and started violently using his tongue to dominate the girl's mouth.Momo while initially surprised fought back with just as much fury and soon the kiss turned into the two fighting to be the one in control.A loud cough broke them apart, then Izuku was suddenly no longer restrained and he had to stop himself from falling to the floor.

The two looked over to see Aizawa erasing their quirk."It's good to see you've gotten control of that new quirk Yaoyorozu but your lucky I was the one to find you and not Midnight or Ashido, just keep it in your pants until later problem children.That being said I'm still waiting on your paper Yaoyorozu, why not add another five pages on why you shouldn't be committing acts of PDA.As for you Midoriya I expect a five page paper on how to escape from being tied up." Their teacher simply smirked laughing creepily as he walked away.

"We really need to stop doing that Izu." Momo sighed.

"Yeah we really do.Only we could be dumb enough to flirt in front of Endeavour and now Eraserhead." Izuku chuckled a bit."At least it's only five pages, it could be a lot worse." Izuku paused for a second."That reminds me Momo, what were you going to tell the class regarding your new quirk?"

"I figured I could say it's part of Indra, the quirk is already weird as is, I could just say I found a way to manifest and control the black lightning as a physical tangible object." It sounded like a plausible idea to Yaoyorozu, as her class already understood her quirk was 'unique'.

"Works for me, alright let's finish up here and get out of here." Izuku had already created quite a few new moves combining various quirks, so it's not like the principal or Aizawa could complain about him not making any progress, plus he isn't even going to be taking the test in a few days.Overall it had been a successful few days as Izuku trained both his quirk limit and his use of those quirks, being at 15 sucked as usual but it would be worth it in the long run.The next time he fought he'd definitely have some new tricks to show off to whatever poor soul would be his opponent.

Aizawa Shouta better known as the pro hero Eraserhead had been having a weird morning, no matter where he looked he could not find his capture weapon.The man had even asked all the staff but no one had had seen any trace of the thing.It'd been in his room last night which means somebody snuck in and took it but the question is why?He'd given up on finding it and just decided to have a new one made as a replacement, it'd been getting kind of raggy anyway.The Provisional License exam was tomorrow which meant he was running out of time for his current task.So that's why Aizawa sat in the faculty office grading some papers that he probably should've graded awhile ago when he heard the vent near his desk start creaking.Seconds later it fell to the floor violently crashing with the floor, a few seconds after that the screws dropped on the metal grate making clanking sounds as the bits of metal collided.Eraserhead instantly stood getting ready for a fight, even if he didn't have his usual weapon he still had raw strength, the ability to remove quirks, and the knife on his belt.Instead of a person a small rock fell through the vent next hitting the floor and making even more noise."What the." Eraserhead said to himself.

The man gingerly approached the rock looking up at the vent hole in order to prevent a sneak attack if one were coming, instead he simply saw nothing as he looked up.A few seconds later his chair was bumped into his desk, turning rapidly he saw a new piece of paper on the desk.Okay somebody was definitely using a quirk to mess with him, but who and more importantly why?Aizawa walked over to desk and read the note.It simply said 'If you want it back come to Gym Gamma.' Aizawa pinched his nose, this reeked of Nedzu."Nedzuuuuuuuu." He let out angrily in a growl.

"Yes?" The rat asked from behind Aizawa.

"OH SHIT!" Aizawa jumped back as he was suddenly no longer alone."How - what?"

"Whatever do you mean Eraserhead I simply walked into the room." The mouse cheerfully spoke while he pointed to the now open door leading into the Faculty office.

Eraserhead hadn't even heard the door open, was he that out of it?"...I see.Someone is pulling a prank on me." The hobo of a teacher showed the rat the note despite heavily suspecting him, he was hoping to try and get a reaction out of the rat.

"Oh my, it seems they are, how truly unfortunate Aizawa.Do you require my assistance in dealing with the matter?" The bear did love the idea of catching ne'er do wells, especially ones who use such interesting methods.

Aizawa grumbled that he did not get the reaction he expected but relented."No I'll handle it Nedzu, thanks for the offer." With that the man strode out of the room, fully intent on getting his capture weapon back.

Monoma was having an interesting day, first Vlad King says he's no longer going to get punished despite disobeying his orders, instead Nedzu simply wished to speak with him on the matter.Monoma not being an idiot took this out immediately, he was getting tired of writing papers for his misdeeds.Then the copy user could no longer find their quirk braids, and on top of all that Midoriya came by and apologized for his actions, which didn't mean anything to Monoma but it was weird he was even willing to do that.Monoma asked all of 1-B where his braids went but none of them had seen them, unfortunate but he simply assumed they would show up sooner or later so it was no big deal.So Monoma in great stride walked to the office of the principal of U.A. wondering what exactly the rat wanted.As the boy knocked he heard a chipper voice usher him in, he did so and was instructed to sit which he did.

"Ah yes Monoma Neito, it's good to see you.Would you like some tea?" Nedzu was already pouring a cup for himself, when the boy nodded he poured them one as well before handing it to them."Now Monoma, is there anything you would like to say before we start with why I called you here?"

Monoma assumed the principal wanted him to apologize or something but that would never come from his lips."No sir."

"Well that is unfortunate then because I have had heard some worrying comments that you have made regarding your fellow students, especially during the Summer Camp but that is not the only occasion you have done so." Nedzu pulled up a piece of paper.""Why is that villain still at this school?" "I tried to get rid of that evil quirk." It's even been brought to my attention that you called him a monster.Are you aware that I personally recommended Midoriya to this school?" Nedzu tilted his head at his student.

Monoma gulped."I-I am, I remember that from the Sports Festival."

"Then you know that he has my absolute trust, I believe you two actually have a lot more in common then you might think.You were bullied for your quirk were you not?Well imagine how children would react to a quirk like Midoriya's?" Nedzu explained.

Monoma froze remembering what Midoriya said at the Sports Festival, "Monoma you have no idea how much I get that." "I-I see."

"However that is not the reason I called you here today, however you will be watched during your interactions with Midoriya, consider this your only warning." The mouse wasn't smiling, but then on a dime the cheery demeanor returned."Anyway the reason I called you here today is regarding this." Nedzu held up a note."I found this on my office today, was something taken from you as well?" Nedzu handed the boy the note.

Monoma took it before reading it, 'If you want it back come to Gym Gamma.' "Yes my quirk braids are gone but what do you mean as well?"

"Well something similar happened to another person, it seems we have a person going around pranking multiple people.I will start monitoring the cameras to find our culprit but I would recommend heading to Gym Gamma soon as one of the teachers is also on the way there."

When Monoma looked up from the note the principal was gone, which greatly confused him.He felt a breath from his right and screamed."AH!" How'd the principal got over there, Monoma hadn't even noticed him move.

"Dear dear it seems you were so lost in thought you didn't hear me approach, I was simply going to open the door for you." Nedzu gave the boy in front of him a creepy grin.

"Y-yes sir!" Monoma quickly stood and exited the room, how the hell did Nedzu sneak up on him like that?!Monoma just shook his head trying to quickly get as far away from the principal's office as possible.

Bakugo was having a strange morning, he'd awoke proud of his progress with his quirk.The explosion user had created like 4 new super moves, he was most proud of A.P. shot, it gave him much better options for ranged attacks.However as soon as Bakugo got out of bed something felt off, he quickly realized his signed poster of All Might that Deku had gotten him back when they were friends was missing.Enraged that someone had the gall to sneak into his room while he slept and pilfer something of his, Bakugo was going to blow somebody up later.However at the thought of Deku he realized they never did have that chat, the sudden villain attack and his kidnapping had put a hold on that.The spiky haired blonde boy would find him later and actually have that conversation, but first whoever took his poster was about to feel his wrath.

Bakugo started looking for clues throughout his room when suddenly a sharp noise alerted his senses and Bakugo quickly switched to combat mode.Seconds later more and more knocks started coming from the vent until finally the grate was blasted off of its hinges.'What the hell' Bakugo thought, shortly after a rock flew from the vent, upon closer inspection there was a note attached to it.More banging occured from the vents, as whoever orchestrated these events was likely fleeing through the thing.Bakugo was half considering jumping into the vent after whoever was in there when suddenly the noises stopped.Seeing as he would likely not catch the culprit instead Bakugo picked up the rock removing the string and unfolding the note.It simply read "Come to Gym Gamma if you want it back.', now the fucker was taunting him.Bakugo was going to fucking destroy whoever was pulling this shit.

Bakugo quickly got dressed leaving the vent grate where it was as he put his shoes on and ran out of the room fully intending on blowing up his soon to be next victim.

Aizawa arrived at Gym Gamma, he noticed something immediately was off with the building.All the windows had been boarded up which likely meant it was totally dark inside, Aizawa sighed realizing this was going to be absolute shitshow, he pulled out his phone before activating the flashlight feature.Eraserhead bravely opened the door before calling out."If you quit your prank now, you can still get out of this without being in too much trouble." The first thing Aizawa noticed was that someone had walled off the entirety of the TDL turning it into a veritable maze, with no response and Aizawa clearly realizing this was a trap he was about to just leave when an audible click was heard from behind him, great so now he's locked in here.He was considering just breaking the door down before an eerie voice started filling the air, it felt like it was coming from everywhere at once.

"Eraser surely you wouldn't leave your precious Capture Weapon behind would you?" The disembodied voice spoke into the air but Aizawa did not recognize who it belonged to.

"And surely you realize how much trouble you're going to be in when I catch you, detention will be the least of your worries." Aizawa retorted.

"Ta ta ta Eraserhead, that's assuming a lot of things.But let's not dwell on that for the time being, would you like to play a game?" The voice sounded almost bored, casually disinterested if anything.

"For the sake of propriety what would this game be?" Aizawa responded with just as dull of a voice.

"Simple, you care for your students do you not?Well look at this." A monitor suddenly flickered to life far above on the ceiling of the TDL, it was split into two images on one Bakugo was tied up and on the other was Monoma.They both were violently thrashing at their bonds but since neither could get free Aizawa assumed they had been tied up with quirk suppressing handcuffs.

That got Aizawa's attention real fast, this was no longer a simple prank, his student's lives were on the line."What are you terms?" Aizawa harshly blurted out.

A timer appeared on the screen, counting down from 5 minutes."Ah straight to the point, I like that about you Eraserhead, it's simple really.You'll have time to save one, maybe both of them if your fast enough.You need to navigate the maze I created and get to them.If you don't..." The screen switched to the animation of an explosion."I'm sure you understand the stakes, goooooooddddd luckkkkkk and maybe you'll find some 'surprises' along the way." The line suddenly cut and Aizawa stared at the screen the timer was already down to 4 minutes, he had no time to waste.

Aizawa rushed forward with the light from his phone illuminating the way as he turned corner after corner, it wasn't loud at first but eventually he heard some kind of goopy squishing sound as he ran and it only got louder as he ran forward, confused by the sound but not having a chance to stop Aizawa ran head first into what could only be described as a monster.It was some amalgamation of flesh and teeth that writhed on the floor, the creature looked straight out of some lovecraftian nightmare.Was this thing a Nomu?Did the league somehow get onto campus again?Aizawa doubted physical damage would do much to such a creature so instead he simply lept over it and kept running, however as he was leaping over it the creature suddenly started screaming.The sound was so inhuman so horrifying, Aizawa had to hold his hands to his ears to block it out, no doubt the creature just alerted everything in the room to his position.

Aizawa stared at the clock that was now at 3 minutes 9 seconds and double timed it, the man swore he could hear muffled screaming coming from somewhere in front of him, Aizawa finally found a wall low enough for him to climb and jumped on top now running on top of the walls towards his destination.A spotlight suddenly came down from above illuminating him as the sole figure in the room.

"Now now now, we can't have that Eraser.If your going to play dirty then I suppose a punishment is in order." Suddenly Eraserhead heard screams coming from all over the darkened room, no doubt heading towards him now that they all knew exactly where he was.The man heard heavy wings beating as they soared towards him, Aizawa barely managed to duck out of the way of the creature as it swooped down at him.Now stuck back in the labyrinth but much closer to his objective as heard muffled violent swearing coming from nearby, no doubt Bakugo, Eraserhead double timed it to his student as he found him.

Aizawa looked at the timer above him noting the time had dropped by a whole minute, was that the punishment?Either way Aizawa ran up to his students and ripped the cuffs off with his superhuman strength.

With his gag removed Bakugo screamed as he pushed his teacher out of the way."DIE YOU FUCKING MONSTROSITIES!" Bakugo launched a massive explosion as the approaching blob monster destroying it and several of the walls with it.

"That's one Eraserhead, tell me do you think you'll be able to save the other?Time's running out, tick tock tick tock." The voice taunted from over the intercoms as the timer was now sub 1 minute.

"This fucking bastard lured us here then knocked us out with some kind of pink gas.He's a fucking psycho he talked about letting his fucking blob monsters eat us and become part of their flesh or some shit." Bakugo angrily vented about this experience.

"We'll worry about that later Bakugo, first we save Monoma.Start blasting your way through the walls, I think he's that direction." Aizawa pointed with the light from his phone, now that Bakugo was here he could hold his fire and light the surrounding area.

"You got it teach." Bakugo ran off blasting and lighting the way as they ran.

"29, 28, 27, 26, 25." The voice started counting down letting them know just how much time they had till Monoma was in one place, or several.

"GOD FUCKING DAMNIT GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Bakugo screamed as he kept destroying everything in his path.

They knew they were getting close when they heard more muffled screaming but suddenly the sprinklers cut on extinguishing Bakugo's flame and making his sweat diluted vastly weakening the power of his explosions."Remember breaking the rules means you get a punishment.10, 9, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3..."

Aizawa's phone was back to being their only light source but they found Monoma but with not early enough time to save him they were likely about to be forced to watch the boy die."2, 1, Boom."

Aizawa had shut his eyes while Bakugo had merely jumped away from the impending explosion, suddenly the water stopped and the lights came on, there were no more monsters either."Wha-"

Cackling began being heard over the intercoms, they both knew that voice....Nedzu, Aizawa knew it, that rat had been fucking with them from the beginning."I must say good job you two, you were so close to 'saving' Monoma.If you come up to the observation room everything will be made clear." Aizawa wanted to scream at the rat for his usual antics of messing with humans but relented and just freed Monoma before the soaked trio went up to the room in question.

Angry for very obvious reasons Bakugo kicked the door to the room slamming it open."SO WHICH OF YOU FUCKS THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY TO D-" Bakugo froze when he saw Deku and Momo just sitting calmly at a table.Gritting his teeth."Explain."

In hindsight it was obvious who was behind everything, those creations were Midoriya's.Aizawa had mistakenly thought they were Nomu when they weren't.Eraserhead just pulled out an empty chair and sat before also demanding an explanation.

The rat's sudden appearance from behind them as well as his cheery declaration scared the trio shitless."Simple.Revenge!"

All three of them screamed as the rat just materialized out of nowhere, seriously how is he doing that they all thought.

The trio looked angrily on, Monoma just looked more surprised than anything."Let me get this straight, you made me think I was going to explode ... as revenge?" The concept seemed so foreign to him that it blew him away.

"Exactly!" Nedzu answered."Aizawa this was for using your quirk on me the other day, Bakugo you were a terrible bully to Midoriya at one point, and Momona you assaulted a fellow student against the direct orders of your teacher.We gave you all many chances to not fall for this very obvious ruse but all three against your better judgement let someone trap you all.Eraserhead you knew something was off but entered the building without calling for backup.Bakugo you blindly rushed into this building under the assumption this was some dumb prank and Monoma you blindly trusted me that you wouldn't be walking into danger.Consider this an impromptu lesson on vigilance, villains are surging these days and in the past week we've had 17 different attempts for somebody to sneak onto campus.While they have all been simple protestors trying to get a look at Midoriya any of them could easily have been a villain trying to sneak onto campus."

All three of the pranks victims looked stunned.In hindsight it had been kind of obvious, the combination of abilities is something only Midoriya was been capable of."Your stuff is right over here by the way." Nedzu walked over to the comms before returning their items.

Bakugo looked silently down before speaking."I just gotta ask, how?"

"Oh that's simple, Izuku want to explain?" Nedzu gave the quirk stealer the floor.

"This is basically how it went down." Izuku started.

Izuku read a text on his phone, Nedzu was asking him to make a portal to his current location and the principal's office.Izuku complied and the rat materialized in his room slightly after that, both Momo and the boy looked confusedly at the principal.

"I must say you are quite the All Might fan Izuku, although I do see some merch of Eraserhead and even myself.Consider me flattered, I wasn't even aware such merch existed." The mouse spoke out loud as he examined the room.

"They technically don't, Momo made them for me as a gift." Izuku explained.

"Ah yes that makes sense, tell me Izuku do you want some good old fashioned vengeance?" Nedzu asked.

"Yes?"

"Great!Now then it's simple we're going to prank some individuals who have slighted us recently." Nedzu then went on to further elaborate."We're going to stage a faux villain attack and scare Aizawa, Monoma, and Bakugo senseless."

Momo was the one to speak."Should we be doing that?Everyone already is afraid of the villains, it feels kind of ... extreme."

Even Izuku was silently hesitant to pull off such a prank.

"True true, but we'll use it as a learning experience for the three, it should be quite easy to realize that everything is not as it should be and if they perform any of the correct actions we'll call it off immediately." The rat exclaimed."Like you said it's dangerous out there these days and they should be able to see the signs easily enough, if they cannot well.Then we spring our trap!"

Izuku wasn't 100% on board but he wouldn't say he wasn't 100% not on board either."What'd you have in mind Nedzu?"

"Well we start by luring them to a location using suspicious means, something that should easily alert them that something is not on the up and up.Mostly this will be you portaling me around and me silently scaring them or angering them.The use of so many abilities should put them on guard instantly.After that I've had cementoss remodel the TDL in my design, your creations will stalk the place while Aizawa needs to navigate a maze full of them while on a time limit.You will be playing the role of the villain Izuku, I've even got a costume and voice changer made just so you can show off your stuff.Be menacing, be scary, but most importantly be insane, do and say whatever you can to really sell the threat of a villain attack."

Back to the present.

"So yeah, that." Izuku ended his flashback.

The trio looked justifiably peeved.Aizawa spoke first."Just portal us to our rooms, I don't even care anymore.

"Dekkuuuuuuu." The estranged friendly voice scared Izuku a bit."I wanted to have a chat with you but now, now I'M GOING TO FUCKING DESTROY YO-"

Bakugo was interrupted as Izuku portaled him away.Izuku looked around the room at everyone."Can you blame me?" A nose bleed happened soon after, he'd really been overusing the quirk today but the time period of his attacks had greatly lengthened not only that the recharge time had gotten shorter as well, he was well and truly slowly but surely adapting to the quirk."Also Monoma I've never been inside the 1-B dorms best I can do is warp you outside of it."

Monoma didn't speak he just grabbed his quirk braids and walked through the portal, he didn't care anymore.The quirk copier just wanted to go back to his room and take a shower and forget this day ever happened, now he realized that maybe he should have taken Vlad King's punishment instead of Nedzu's.Being seconds away from certain death only to find out it was fake had greatly shaken him.

Aizawa was of much of a similar mindset, he simply grabbed his scarf before going through the portal Monoma went through, he didn't care.It wasn't here and that was good enough for him.

Momo finally spoke."I still think that was too much."

"I kind of have to agree with Momo Nedzu, I don't want to do that again." Izuku added.

"Fine fine, however there is one teensy thing I want you to help with Izuku."

Well that can't be good, Izuku thought."Yes?"

"Can you go talk to the protestors, we've been largely ignoring them and while yes I expect them to react poorly, it should hasten their departure." Nedzu pleaded.

"I want total immunity from any backlash from both Aizawa and the public as well as one favor." Izuku gave the mouse a glare.

"Deal!Glad you could help.Feel free to use your quirks to scare them off." The rat exclaimed.

Izuku decided to be a bit showy about his entrance and got ready for hopefully the final portal use for the day, he had already gone way beyond his normal limit of one per day but it'd help him in the long run and the worst case is he needed a few transfusions.Izuku fixed his mask to his face, horn poking through it before opening a portal to the sky above U.A.'s gate, he made sure to make it flashy and Izuku floated slowly out.

The entire crowd of protestors went silent as the massive purple portal opened in the sky followed by a black masked individual with a horn coming through it floating in the air, the silence quickly became screams as the mob of people began screaming.Izuku having expected that activated the microphone in his mask."Ladies and Gentleman, you may call me All For None."

The mob was shocked into silence which let Izuku continue."You all have been a major nuisance for the past week, have you nothing better to do with your lives?The right to assemble only applies to public property and you are interrupting the peace.Both sides of you all shall disperse, that includes the counter protestors as well.Otherwise the police will be here and arrests will begin happening.Do I make myself clear?"

A reporter with a microphone responded cutting through the cries of the people."You can't expect the people to remain silent, when you have yourself remained silent!We deserve answers!"

Izuku let loose an enhanced Air Cannon into the sky immediately cutting off the people's speech."And you will, the HSPC will be releasing a statement soon.I cannot comment on their message however.Now have I made myself clear?Disperse or action WILL be taken."

The reporter however not giving up."You can't just silence the peo-"

"I warned you." Izuku opened a portal connected to the ocean and the downpour was instant, water began pouring from the sky flooding the area even as Izuku's nosebleeds worsened and he felt himself getting faint, he'd really overdone it but his message was sent and people started fleeing from the sudden deluge.Once enough people had dispersed Izuku closed the portal and wobbly brought himself back down to the ground.He doubted that little action had done him any favours publicly but at least the protestors would stop harassing the school.Izuku held his head as he started making way to recovery girl's office, for now he would rest.The provisional license exam was tomorrow after all, and he wanted to watch it intently.
