Momo

blushed more."You just said that."

"I know what I said." Izuku gave her a wry smile before leaning his head on her shoulder."You know what, let's skip practice and just relax.I think we've earned that Ms. Thirty-Five."

That caused Momo to tilt her head."Ms.Thirty-Five?"

"Oh did Nedzu not tell you?Apparently people called in and tried to have us added to the Hero Billboard, if we were allowed to be on there you got thirty-five and I got forty-seven." Izuku explained as he carefully fished out the metal object from his pocket with his left hand before showing it to her.

"That's!That's amazing Izuku!I-I got thirty-five?!You - you got forty-seven!?" Momo loudly exclaimed as she jumped up causing Izuku to fall over now that his support was gone.

From his spot on the floor he just smiled at her."Yup, your already doing such a great job Momo, I'm so proud of you."

"But why am I higher than you?" Momo seemed to grumble.

"Because your the favorite and we both know it Mo." Izuku said with an airy expression on his face."Honestly that's how it should be, if I hadn't gotten kidnapped I wouldn't even be on that list like I'm supposed to be." Which Izuku complained about.

"Izu we both know you would've turned up on there eventually and I don't know, it just feels?Not earned?I feel like the only reason I'm more popular is because I'm physically attractive or because my quirk isn't 'evil' like yours."

"Eh let people talk, I don't care about my ranking anyway and you, what did I say about self loathing?Who cares how you earned it?The point is you earned it, you worked hard and earned it.So come over here and eat okay?" In that Moment Izuku just realized the perfect gift for Momo's birthday, she was going to love it.It was in two weeks, he should have enough time to get it and if he couldn't he could always call in a favor or two.

Momo sat back down and nibbled on her sandwich."I still think you deserve to be higher but I do admit, it feels ... nice.To see how far we've come, what we've done together, and that we're finally being shown results for our work."

"Good.It's all up from here anyway.For now we relax and enjoy the last few warm days of the year.Besides your the hot one anyway, though to be fair I never really wanted my face seen anyway.Maybe I can do something about that in the future, maybe if I just stop showing my face people will forget?" Izuku half muttering half asking aloud.

"You and I both know that won't work Izu." Momo commented in-between bites.

"Ughhhh I know, doesn't make it any less annoying, stupid League of Villains.Stupid kidnap - Oh my god I'm an idiot." Izuku brought his hands to his face.

"Hmm?" The girl looked up.

"I could've just had you make me a mask or something before we jumped in, how didn't I think of that?!" Izuku fell over realizing his stupidity.

"You know what they say Izu, hindsight is 20-20." Momo dispensed some wise knowledge that probably didn't make the boy feel any better.

"I hate that saying." Izuku whined out before taking a sip of the tea, it was cold and made with sugar and it felt good on his tongue.

"It'll be okay Zu." Momo ruffled his hair while he laid down.

"Yeah ... I know."

"BROS I'M SO EXCITED!" Kirishima shouted out from his spot on the couch."IT'S GOTTA BE ENDEAVOUR RIGHT?RIGHT?!"

Izuku watched as Todoroki winced when his fathers name was mentioned and started walking towards the boy.

"Of course shitty hair, there's no way it's anyone else.I'm more fucking interested in the other spots, like whose the new number two?Is it that bird fuck?" Bakugo spit out.

"It'll be fine Todoroki, he won't have the spot for long okay?" Izuku whispered to the boy.

Todoroki turned, anger present on his face but when he saw the other boy he tried to make himself less irritated."Thanks Midoriya.I just hope earning the position this way upset him as much as I think it did."

"I'm sure it did Todoroki, from what you've told me of him, he's like Bakugo.Not earning this spot is probably killing him inside." Izuku smiled.

"It better." Todoroki pouted.

"I hope it's Mirko." Mina suddenly shouted."We need more women in the top ten!Although..." Mina turned to Momo."You're probably gonna end up there one day, make sure you pull out a win for us girls Yaomomo."

That made Momo blush and wisely decided not to mention how she technically already earned the thirty-fifth spot."I think we all have a chance to wind up there Mina."

"Yeah a chance, you and a few of our classmates are basically guaranteed a spot.It's not fair!" Mina then turned towards the quirk stealer."Midoriya help me with my quirks!I haven't gotten to look at your notebooks in forever!"

Izuku winced."Well I did have one idea, have you tried learning to fly with Liquid Manipulation?"

"What?!How could I possibly fly?!" Mina ran over and started shaking him.

"Well I mean you cou-" He was interrupted by the T.V. blaring.

Izuku recognized the chairwoman as she spoke."The reason we held this ceremony at this time is because we judged ourselves to be at a turning point.It's been about three months since All Might's retirement and I'm sure many of you have never known a world where All Might wasn't the number 1."

She paused before continuing."People say we lack a new symbol to replace him, and that's what were going to show you today.The people present on this stage are the new icons that will carry the torch into a brighter future.Let us all strive towards a new, more peaceful society together." She started walking towards the end of the line where we could see Ryuku had gotten tenth place.Izuku paled for a brief moment realizing he'd never talked to her about what happened against Overhaul."And now a brief statement from each of the top ten!"

Ryuku grabbed the mic before speaking."Thank you very much but the truth is I would've declined this rank if at all possible.I recently failed in my duties as a hero and had to be saved by a hero student of all things.There were more people I could've saved, better work I could've done and for that I apologize.I will strive to be a better hero and truly earn the rank of the number ten." This was followed by Ryuku bowing.

Back in the common room everyone stared at Midoriya."What?!"

"Green you need to stop stealing all the spotlight." Jirou coldly commented.

"They didn't even mention my name, and Momo was there too!" He shouted as he pointed at the girl.

"Don't drag me into this please." Momo blushed when all eyes turned on her.

Izuku was poked by Mina who had apparently not given up on their earlier conversation."So you were saying I could potentially fly?" She whispered in the boy's ear.

"Can we all just watch this please?" Sero loudly complained which made everyone turn around.

Izuku turned to Mina before whispering."Guess I'll give you a hint, Magic carpet." With that Izuku watched her confused face for a bit before he turned back to the screen.

A man in a green hero suit started shouting."You're absolutely right Ryuku, I understand!I wasn't even there for both of those incidents.I feel the anguish in your heart.That feeling of self reproach.We can all do better!"

"Crust wait your turn." The man clad in samurai armor commented, he merely grunted into the mic as it approached him and passed it along.

This was followed by a washing machine simply saying."Wash!"

Izuku stopped watching as he saw who was on the far left and groaned, directing Todoroki's attention.

The Heterochromatic teen stood shortly after."I'm done, good night everyone."

Kaminari watched as the boy left."Does he not wanna hear his Dad speak?"

Izuku watched as his friends shoulders slumped, part of him wanted to walk over and shush Kaminari, the other part didn't want to turn it into a big deal."Hey Kaminari?"

"Yeah man?"

"Drop it."

"Wha-"

Jirou seemed to pick up on the tension and directed the electric boys attention away.

The quirk stealer missed the number 7 and 6 hero and turned back to see the new number five Mirko: The Rabbit Hero."Hey, you guys scheming bad things?Imma pummel you into the floor so be ready!"

Hawks visibly groaned from his spot.

"Next we have the number 4 hero, EDGESHOT!You know based on approval rating alone you would've been number 3."

"Numbers don't concern me, I'm grateful for the approval I get but I'm not doing this for fame." The number 4 coldly answered.

The reporter continued along."I'm sorry he couldn't make it due to his injuries in the battle at Jakku but Best Jeanist sent his regards and said to look forward to him being back in action soon!Now we have the number 2 hero HAWKS!

Hawks snatched the mic before flying up into the air."Who cares about any of that?Is this time to be clinging to the past?Is it okay to uphold the status quo?We no longer have a symbol.Why are people who can't earn a higher spot than me being so tame and subdued on a day that's supposed to be a 'turning point'?!Please speak more like real heroes."

Bakugo looked on in awe at the new number two."I like him."

"I bet you would Bakubro." Kirishima clasped him on the shoulder.

The audience looked on confused as the number two slowly lowered themselves back to the ground."Let's see ... If we're just going by approval ratings.Best Jeanist would be first do the extra support he's getting from those hoping for a swift recovery.I would be number 2, Edgeshot would be number 3, and Endeavour 4th and so on.I think approval ratings are the most important metric at the present moment.That's all from me." Hawks added before shoving the mic into the hands of the new number 1."Let's see what you got number 1 hero with a lower approval rating than me."

Endeavour glared at the man for his antics but remembered his conversation with All Might."For all of those who don't believe in me, just watch."

There were some more finishing announcements before the stream ended shortly afterwards."That Hawks guy is really cool.Didn't you intern with him Tokoyami?"

"Indeed, we are birds of a feather so to speak.He has taught me much during my time with him." The bird headed teen confirmed before Dark Shadow jumped out."What my partner means is Hawks was so fast we had to struggle just to keep up with the guy.His side kicks didn't even bother and it rubbed both of us the wrong way."

"Dark Shadow!What have I said about talking without my permission." Tokoyami reprimanded his quirk."That I should keep doing it and I'm the smarter of the two.Someone's got to keep you in line."

"Dark Shadow, return!" Tokoyami shouted before his quirk retreated back into his body."I apologize for that unsightly moment."

"It's cool dude, it's so cool having a second mind to talk too, it means your never alone you know?" Kirishima added.

That reminded Izuku that he wanted to talk to the bird teen about what it was like having a sentient quirk, though Kuroe had much less physical effect on the world versus Dark Shadow.Before he could walk over and ask his classmate he was already out of the room, a shame.

Endeavour looked at his phone, strange why was that bird brain calling him."Yes?"

A lackadaisical voice came over the phone."Yo Endeavour, what if I told you I wanted your help dealing with something, it'll be worth your time I promise.Oh and how did you like the set up I gave you?"

"Set up?You almost made me look like a fool boy." Endeavour angrily responded.'Was he testing him?' The number 1 thought.

"But you didn't and you looked so cool number 1 so relaxxxxx.But anyway this is business not pleasure.How'd you like to team up Endeavour?In my home town I've heard some troubling reports of Nomu sightings."

That got the number 1's attention."I'm listening."

"Good, good, tomorrow me and an associate of mine are going to be meeting up, we'd be honored if you could make it Endeavour-san."

"Send me the details." Endeavour quickly hung up after that, 'finally a lead on the league.'

The Next Day

Hawks was lackadaisically walking down the street as he patrolled with a certain flame hero, not even turning his head as he sent out his many feathers to help those around him as well as catching one pervert trying to streak."You see Endeavour, this is the kind of day is what I want for all heroes in the future.A day where we can wake up, mingle with the populace, laze about, and eventually go home to have a nice day's sleep."

Endeavour grunted, this man was more and more quickly becoming exactly the kind of person he hated.The carefree attitude, the lack of responsibility, the ability to smile without a damn care in the world.'Why had he agreed to this again?'

"So what are you in the mood to eat Endeavour?My friend already picked a place so I hope Korean Barbecue is good with you."

Another grunt was all that Endeavour muttered.

They walked in silence for a few more minutes before Endeavour finally spoke."And who is this friend of yours?" Endeavour watched as Hawks easily saved someone's pet dog while simultaneously helping a lady up some stairs and signing an autograph, the sight almost angered him for some reason.Endeavour just ended up attributing it to the fact that he reminded him of All Might in a way.

"Ah you see, you've probably met him at some point, though you likely didn't like the man, All Might's former sidekick, Sir Nighteye." Hawks watched the grimace form on the man's face.

"And why are we meeting with that washed up man's fortune teller." Endeavour questioned grimly.

"Ah you see, he has a vision he needs to share with us apparently.He wouldn't tell me what though, only that all of Japan depended on him meeting with us.I being the man that I am accepted him at face value, you can make jokes about his personality but his quirks the real deal." Hawks paused for a moment as he raised a finger."That reminds me, the joint he invited us to is called Yoritami, it's got these amazing liver skewers." Hawks briefly directed his feathers towards helping a kitty from a tree, smiling as another fan walked over and asked for a picture.

Noticing they were surrounded by fans Endeavour sweated for a bit, he had promised to change for not just his family but all of Japan.The new number 1 noticed a boy staring at him shyly and mustered up the courage to walk forward before offering his hand to the child."If you want a handshake it's no big deal."

Instead of what he expected the boy simply sputtered."Y-You've changed!The Endeavour I know doesn't do fan stuff, he's too cool to stoop to that level!"

The boy shouted before running away leaving the pro hero in shock as he stared at his hand."I thought I'd practiced better..." Endeavour turned to see Hawks laughing at him and grumbled."You're paying for lunch."

"No problem Endeavour-san!" Hawks added between laughs.

The number 1 just grumbled further.

The group sat on a very high floor of the restaurant in question, they gingerly ate their food with the exception of Hawks who was gorging himself.

"Man you really blew it earlier, you can't just change character like that Endeavour-san." The carefree hero sing songed."Of course they're going to not understand the sudden difference.Your THE Endeavour, cold, aloof, cool, you're not like All Might whose all smiles and good feelings.I'm sure your fans already have that image of you.Oh by the way are you going to finish that."

"Glutton." Endeavour pushed the tray forward regardless."So why did you call us here anyway?"

Nighteye looked at his watch, counting the seconds as he often did when the future would come soon."Give it two to three minutes, give or take."

"Will you at least tell me for what reason we're all gathered, if there's one thing I hate, it's wasting time." Endeavour took a drink of his tea as he stared at All Might's former one and only side kick.

"I suppose that much is at least fine, I'm here for Izuku Midoriya." Nighteye counted as the seconds ticked down on his watch, ninty ... eighty-nine ... eighty-eight.

"And why don't you tell him what you told me Sir-san?" Hawks let out between bites.

"Ah yes a special type of Nomu has been reported to be in the area.Apparently it can speak the human language as well as think and empathize, I'm sure you can think of another specimen like that?" Fifty-five.

"Kurogiri." Endeavour realized.

"Exactly." Fifty ... Forty-nine.

Hawks took a bite of his Takoyaki before speaking."What is it like?" Hawks had a questioning stare as the man looked at his watch again.

Forty ... thirty-nine."Intelligent, can fly, has that hyper regeneration, it can extend it's muscles and limbs in order to attack, it seems to only want to fight strong opponents from what I saw in my vision, lastly it seems to somehow carry more Nomu with it, though none are as strong as it is."

That made Endeavour perk up a bit, this Nomu sounded terrifying to fight."And when will be expecting it's attack?"

Thirty ... twenty-nine ... twenty-eight

Hawks nervously watched the man continue his odd behavior, not saying anything.

"Nighteye, I said when can we expect it's attack?" Endeavour pushed the man to answer.

"Fifteen ... fourteen ... thirteen." Nighteye looked up from his watch and turned around, seeing a black speck off in the distance, Endeavour followed the man's gaze.

Seeing the speck rapidly increasing in size made the pro heroes in the room jump into action."NIGHTEYE, WHAT THE HELL YOU BASTARD!"

Just then their server walked into the room."Do you all need any-"

Hawks jumped shoving the woman down."GET TO SAFETY A VILLAIN'S COMING!"

"It's fine you'll save everyone in this building." Nighteye simply stated as he watched, waiting for the inevitable crash as the beast plummeted into the building.

Endeavour sprang forth knocking the man out of the way before launching a fire blast at the creature, trying to divert it's course to no avail.The man couldn't risk making too much heat in this cramped space.The monster broke through the glass shattering it instantly before viewing the people in the room."Who's - the best here - the s-strongest?"

Endeavour's only response was to blast the creature out of the room with a flaming fist before jumping after it."FLASHFIRE FIST: JETBURN!"

Hawks stared in curiosity."Endeavour-san you can fly?!"

"I'm simply not falling, and you!We're going to have a long chat after this Nighteye." Endeavour angrily grunted before turning back to his foe."You wanted the strongest?Well congratulations you've got the number 1 and I came here to fight!"

"You-you really thought that-that fire could kill-kill me?" The Nomu grunted as his charred flesh instantly fixed itself.

'Looks like Nighteye wasn't lying that the creature can regenerate itself, he must not underestimate this thing or it's many strong quirks.' Endeavour thought to himself.'Colorwise this one's black just like the one at U.A. and the one he melted at Hosu, it seems the color denotes what league the Nomu is in.That would mean this things special even amongst special Nomu as it can talk, it's almost certainly in it's own weight bracket.'

"Are you-you strong?" Yellow eyes glowed from the creatures hood, staring into the man's eyes.

"In that case I'm going to take you alive and make you spill everything!" 'Flashfire Fist: HELL'S SPIDER!' To the man's surprise the creature suddenly surged forth dodging his attack while simultaneously grabbing him and slamming him back into the building with an elongated fist.Endeavour sputtered as he was launched through the entire building and out the other side.'Seems Nighteye was right about that too.' Igniting his body he forced the creature to release him."You don't stay burned for long it seems, guess that means I'll have to do this in one go."

U.A. Common Room

"Your move Todoroki." Izuku commented as he moved a pawn up two spaces.Momo was playing with Eri at the counter in the kitchen while Todoroki and Izuku played chess in the common room.Various of their classmates were also sprawled about in the room, Mina was chatting up Kirishima, Jirou and Kaminari were listening to music together on the couch, Sato was cooking as usual, Tenya seemed to be studying for their art history class, Uraraka was braiding Tsu's hair, and Sero was playing bash bros. A pretty ordinary day all things considered.

"Hmm." The stoic boy replied moving up his rook.

"Hey Iida!" Hagakure shouted as she bounced down the stairs.

"Yes Hagakure?"

"Can I borrow your notes dude?An unfortunate 'accident' occurred with mine." The invisi girl lamented.

"What accident?" Iida looked up curious.

"Don't worry but could you help me out?"

"No problem Hagakure, I don't suppose you'd mind waiting like thirty minutes before transcribing my notes?I was trying to get ahead on this topic."

"No worries man, I'll just go chill with some other people in the meantime, thanks!" Hagakure flashed a thumbs up before walking to the living rooms couch and plopping down.

"Sup nerds." Hagakure looked at her class president and the 'Icequeen' of 1-A.

"Not much Hagakure, just playing chess." Izuku moved his bishop up backed up by a pawn to pressure Todoroki's queen.

"I'm brewing some Tea, it should be ready shortly Hagakure.Is there anything that you need?"

"Nah dude just wanted to chill for a bit, thanks for the tea though but I'll probably pass.I'm no coffee addict like Shinsou or Aizawa-sensei but I still prefer it to tea." Hagakure had an idea then."Holy crap!What is that?!" Hagakure suddenly exclaimed which made both of the teens suddenly turn, using their distraction Hagakure turned a piece for each of the pair invisible.Wanting to be a tad discreet she chose a piece for each that was quite awhile from being used.

"What was what?" Todoroki blankly asked as he turned around.

"Oh sorry I thought I saw a massive spider, my mind must be playing tricks on me." She innocently 'tee hee'd' which caused both of the boys to look confused but continued on playing after a bit.

"C-can we not mention big s-spiders?" Hagakure turned to her left seeing Jirou shaking on the loveseat.

"Oh sorry Jirou, you got it.Wasn't aware you're scared of em."

"T-thanks Hagakure." Jirou had never been a fan of insects in general but spiders specifically freaked her out far more than any bug, she thought it had to be the eyes or the legs that did it but something about them just unsettled the rock girl.

"Eri, get down from there!" Momo shouted at the girl who'd created an elastic surface high in the air and was currently hiding on it.

"Make me!" The Ex-unicorn shouted down at the Ravenette.

Izuku turned and wondered if he should help.

Todoroki just shook his head and Izuku shrugged deciding to see how it'd play out.

"It's dangerous young girl, get down this instant!" Momo had adopted a face that eerily reminded the quirk stealer of his mom and he paled.

"Nuh-uh, I'm being careful.Mister Izu taught me how to do this."

Izuku paled further at the mention of his name while Momo was boring a hole into his head with her stare."I didn't teach her to do that!I just told her how to reapply the quirk every so often so you don't falllllllllllll ... oh." He'd totally taught her how to do that.

Momo sighed before activating Black Whip and grabbing the girl, which caused her to shout in joy.After depositing the ball of sunshine and rainbows on the floor she just had this innocent look on her face."Can we do that again?And can you twirl me faster?"

Momo just face palmed."Later Eri ... and outside."

"Okaayyyyyyy."

Todoroki was about to make his move but was interrupted by his phone going off.Noticing the caller was Fuyumi he naturally got curious."Yes Fuyumi?"

"Shouto!Check the news!" A loud voice blared through the phone which startled the heterochromatic teen.

"Sero we're borrowing the television." Shouto declared as he grabbed the remote and forcibly stopped the game the boy was playing.

The headline caused Shouto to bend over on his knees as he sucked in a gasp."KYUSHU UNDER SIEGE: ENDEAVOUR TAKEN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LETHAL BLOW?"

A panicked female reporter was basically screaming as people stampeded around her."We have no symbol, without a symbol this is what happens!This is a society without a symbol of peace!"

Everyone in the room jumped up from whatever they were doing and glued their eyes to the screen as they moved closer to watch.Izuku took a brief moment to survey the devastation and the first thought he had was to warp himself there and get into the fight instantly but something stopped him, Todoroki's eyes.

"Oh my gosh, is he going to be okay?The last we saw him he got thrown into that building, that thing's a monster even by Nomu standards plus all the other Nomu.Isn't this just Hosu all over again?" Kaminari panically asked.

Momo took a look at the Half-n-half user and just weakly let out their name."...Todoroki." But then a second thought occurred, Eri shouldn't see this."Guy's I'm going to take Eri to her room okay?"

"You got it Yaomomo, we'll support Todoroki, don't worry." Mina smiled brightly at their vice rep.

"Thanks Mina, let's go Eri." Momo not so lightly shoved the girl out of the room.

"They're starting to panic, their stampede is going injure countless more people." Iida had taken a seat closest to Todoroki in an attempt to console the boy.

"There's no way my bastard of a father would ever let this happen, ... he's too stubborn to die there..." Todoroki wasn't sure if he was trying to convince his class or himself.

Eraserhead busted into the room shortly after."Todoroki, you already know."

A panicked voice cut through the crowd on the TV."CUT IT OUT.THOSE FLAMES ARE STILL THERE, YOU SEE EM RIGHT?ENDEAVOUR'S ALIVE AND KICKING, HES FIGHTING FOR US!SO ALL OF YOU PEOPLE BETTER NOT BE GIVING UP ON HIM, CAUSE HE AIN'T GIVEN UP ON US!"

One of the boy's apparent friends seemed to be trying to drag him off to run but the boy held strong.

"He's right dude, your dad's super strong he ain't going down without a fight.Isn't that right Midoriya?" Sero looked to the spot Midoriya had been standing and noticed the boy was missing.

Aizawa noticed the lack of the boy's presence as well."Don't tell me he... THAT STUPID IDIOTIC PROBLEM CHILD!"

Aizawa's shouts made everyone in the room turn to him.Uraraka was the first to speak."Deku wouldn't ... Maybe he just went to the bathroom or some..." Yeah the girl couldn't even finish that statement, it's totally something Deku would do.

"Maybe he's helping Momo with Eri kero." The frog girl added.

"Who wants to bet we're about to see that idiot on live TV." Hagakure face palmed.

"I'm not taking a bet on a certainty Toru.Is there anything we can do to help him Sensei?!" Mina begged their teacher.

"Probably not, and chances are he was smart enough to get Nedzu's permission beforehand, now we can only pray." Instead of seeing a mop of green hair jump into the main fight instead it was Endeavour, the man looked almost fully healed but strangely more Energized than he had before.

"Look Todoroki!He's fine!" Sero brightened immediately.

Shouto was confused, his father had been stabbed in the chest and face but there was no trace of the wound.

Kyushu

Endeavour groaned in pain as his heavily injured body had been thrown through multiple buildings a piece of rebar was sticking out of his chest from where he'd landed on it.He was already trying to pull himself off of the object but it seemed to be a futile effort.'Great I'm going to half to melt this then cauterize the wound, what a great day.' The number one barely able to focus his body before a black yawning portal opened up next to him.The man tried to speak but little could be said, his mouth and body were so injured he couldn't speak."B-boy."

"Yo Endeavour, you're not doing so hot huh.We're going to have a quick chat and depending on how it goes there will be two very different outcomes to today's headlines.You see when I first saw the battle I thought to myself I need to get there, I need to save everyone but then something startled me.Something beyond words, your son, the child you abused, the one whose Mother you broke in a conquest for power, one of my better friends... He was worried, worried about you of all people and it shook me greatly.So number 1, I'm going to make this quick I have a question to ask and depending on how you answer, either I go out there and steal your spot at the top, or I fix you up and change the one thing that you bemoaned so greatly.The thing you broke your family for."

Izuku paused before activating Confession."Do you regret what you did to your family?"

Endeavour paled for a second but then with great paid a singular word left his lips."Y-yes."

Izuku noticed the man struggling to say more words and realized if he wanted his full answer he'd need to repair him a bit.Izuku reached over to the rebar deleting it and only it with Overhaul before activating Rewind and sending the man back to before he got impaled but after he got hit by the Nomu.A relatively short amount of time so it cost very little energy."Now in clear Endeavour.Why do you regret it?"

Endeavour was about to ask how the boy just did what he did but felt himself compelled to speak before he could."Touya, it all started with Touya.I loved him, I pushed him even though he didn't have the perfect combination of quirks.He wanted to surpass me, and with his flames he could've, the boy worked himself day after day and I was so proud.But then Shouto was born and suddenly everything I wanted in a child was present.That ... was my biggest failure, by tossing Touya aside the boy did everything in his power to prove his worth to me and I just ignored him.A year later Touya killed himself in a training accident all because he wanted to make me, his father, proud.My own child burned himself alive just to try and get that little bit stronger.After that something in me broke and I did everything in my power to make sure Shouto would never have a similar accident.Everything after that you know.I regret it because I was a terrible father, because I did nothing for Touya's legacy.Just a broken family with broken people, all in different ways."

Endeavour looked so defeated, Izuku had never seen the man look that way honestly."Huh color me surprised.I guess there are second chances for people after all." Izuku reached over and finished rewinding the man like another five minutes at the end of it the man looked like he had never been injured in the first place.

Endeavour sat there as he felt his body start to fold in on itself as his wounds rapidly disappeared.Suddenly able to move despite the grievous injuries he received."Boy what did you just do."

"You never saw that quirk, also I was never here.Lastly, take my hand." Izuku struck his hand out.

Endeavour on the other hand needed to move, he had to defeat that monstrosity."Why?"

"It's your redemption arc Enji Todoroki.The power you always wanted, take it."

Endeavour looked down at the bo- no young man's hand and back to his face before taking the outstretched limb.

"Every abuse you've thrown out, every bit of suffering, just to obtain that power so easily.Surely it must be shocking Endeavour.With this you will never overheat again be careful though it goes both ways, if I hear so much as a whisper that you aren't using this for good.I will personally come back and take everything from you.This is your only warning." Izuku turned on his heels before starting to walk back into the portal he made.

Endeavour looked at his hand for a second, feeling the other power in his body and used it, he suddenly felt cooler and realized just what the boy had done."Wait!Nighteye!You need to heal him he was injured in the initial attack, Hawks had to deposit him on the highest building adjacent the one that initially got attacked by the Nomu."

Izuku turned at hearing the name and sighed, today was going to get a whole lot worse wasn't it?"Fine, good luck number 1." Now how was he going to silently get to Nighteye, maybe he should borrow Hagakure's quirk?No he doesn't have time, the cameras should be focused on Endeavour, that should be plenty of a distraction.Izuku reaffirmed his helmet was attached to his head and looked to the skies.'Well, he'd always wanted to go skydiving.'

U.A.

"Holy crap was Endeavour always that strong?!" Sero exclaimed as the man let out massive pyro attack after pyro attack, he was like the living embodiment of fire as he streaked across the sky.

Todoroki was equally surprised."No, no he wasn't." 'What was going on?His dear old dad shouldn't be able to create this much fire without overheating.'

"How much longer till Wonderboy hit's the scene?" Hagakure asked aloud.

"Already kind of surprised we haven't seen him yet." Kaminari added.

Aizawa snorted a bit at the statement but his student was right, where was the problem child?

"Endeavour is back, he's chasing down the villain!" The reporter woman shouted.

The Nomu turned it's head."You-you can also re-regenerate?"

'As if you freak, my body gave out on me awhile ago.Damn kid just had to meddle in my business.' Endeavour launched himself forward with as much fire as his body could handle before he started to deteriorate from the heat.It wouldn't matter how cool his body was if it got so hot he melted instantly.Steam was visibly leaking from his body as he pushed his body to the limit, an interesting side effect of his second quirk.

Hawks jumped in front of the creature distracting it long enough for Endeavour to slam his fist into it's mouth.The number 1 began pumping everything he had into his arm and body as he launched the two further into the sky where he could unleash his ultimate blast.'You were me, you only sought power, no, you are me.With this I will end my past, I will say goodbye to the things that I was.I'll quickly roast this thing from it's insides and set it free.FLASHFIRE: PROMINENCE BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!'

A massive blast erupted in the sky as what looked like the sun exploded stunning everybody watching.

Izuku stared in awe as he fell from the sky, turns out Endeavour makes a better distraction than Izuku thought he could.As Izuku fell the glowing sun was so intense he could feel the heat from here, maybe giving the guy the thing he's always wanted wasn't the best idea Izuku shrugged as the heat and wind bit at his face as he fell.The boy activated Snapshot as he started scanning for his target while he plummeted from the sky.There he saw the man laying in a pool of his own blood Izuku aimed himself like a bullet towards his target decelerating as he got closer, making sure that the wind from his quirk wouldn't affect Nighteye.Izuku landed softly next to the man on this building so far from the actual fight."Damn what happened to you Sir?"

The man's eyes opened only to weakly stare at the boy."Ah ... just ... in ... time."

"What?" Izuku was taken aback as he strode over to the man."Here I'll have you fixed up in no time." Izuku stretched his hand down about to activate his quirk when suddenly the man gripped his shoulder and stared into his eyes.

"No ... don't ... bother ... today ... was ... supposed ... to ... happen ..." The effect was instant as Izuku watched the man's quirk activate and suddenly everything shifted.

A much different world suddenly appeared around Izuku, it was nothing like his quirk world, this was weirder, it had movie reels flickering back and forth showing various images of the future he supposed.The grainy sound in the background was all too different from what he was used too, it sounded like a movie theater in here.Honestly quite different from the image Izuku had in mind when Nighteye used his quirk, he'd always thought that it would be time oriented with clocks or something.

"I see you made it.Just like I saw when I looked at your future a month ago."

The voice startled Izuku and he jumped to the side, but calmed once he realized who it belonged too."So why are we here?And why didn't you let me heal you?"

"I suppose those are some logical questions for the situation but I believe it's more important that I show you the reason for you being here." Nighteye flicked his hand and one reel came into focus."Your future, I was never going to tell you about this because I was never supposed to have made it this far.I was supposed to die at the Shie Hassaikai compound but instead you brought this new future into existence.The mission was going to succeed so I had no reason to tell you about my death, it was inconsequential all things considered." The man's face never changed expressions while he talked.

"But, I could've saved you?I did save you?" Izuku looked confusedly at the man.

"Exactly, until that moment not once had a future I'd seen not come to pass.But I'd like to think that the combined efforts of everyone present helped make a difference.Even that girl's quirk you used to power up the Ninth." Nighteye looked like he was parsing through the reel of Izuku's future."Ah here it is, I've never seen a future with so much clarity before, usually it's like these reels, but this was no image, this was a moving picture and I think you are the key.Your quirk isn't just the ability to give and take quirks it's the ability to move pieces of a person's soul.I've seen the ghosts in your future if your wondering."

Well shit.Izuku had hoped that'd be a one time thing but oh well."Well then?Why am I here?What am I the key too?"

"The future." Was Nighteye said as he eyes started spinning."Ah yes now that I'm a part of you I can see it." The man walked over and braced his head against the boys head.

"Wha-" The boy was cut off as everything shifted but this, this was no dream.

Date Unknown Time Unknown Location Unknown

"..iya, come in.I re... doriya come ..."

"sn't resp ... Dek ... ple ... tell me you ... ight

The world was a haze as the crater that was once Jakku loomed around him.So many dead turned to dust on the spot by Shigaraki, the city was a graveyard with Izuku and that bastard at it's center.Izuku only hoped he put the bastard down for good, he'd cut his fucking head off for Mo but who knows what that hyper regen quirk can do.Izuku should've taken it when he had the chance.

'Ah you really overdid it this time didn't you Izuku.' Izuku looked down as both of his legs were missing and another arm was blown off, that was his good arm too.Izuku weakly watched as Shinsou approached his likely dying form, he was keeping himself from bleeding out with Liquid Manipulation but that would only hold for so long.

'Ah Mo I really fucked up didn't I, guess I'll be getting to meet you sooner rather than later.' The boy coughed up some more blood as Shinsou started screaming at him.Izuku took his left arm covered in a bit of blood and shoved it into Shinsou's Mouth.At least this way One For All won't die with him."You ... have ... to ... live ..."

"Midoriya!Midoriya!Fix yourself, c'mon this isn't the time for you to give up!I know it looks bad but c'mon man you can't die here!Your too strong to die!I need you, we need you!"

Shinsou was weeping over his dying form, and it caused Izuku to form some of his own tears.'Was this how it felt for Mo?'

"C'mon man this isn't a funny joke, we're gonna get revenge right?For Yaoyorozu?For Todoroki?For Jirou?For Mina?The Izuku Midoriya I know doesn't know how to give up.Please..." Shinsou was begging him at this point.

'Maybe if I wasn't missing over fifty percent of my body Shinsou.' The explosion he'd let out with Kacchan's quirk should've done it, it better have done it.He near atomized the place with it, turns out One For All is one hell of a power boost, who would've thought.Izuku coughed a bit more blood up, this was really it, he was dying, what a strange feeling.It was far more peaceful than he'd thought it be, his eyes started to shut but then that laughter, that cackling laughter.Izuku's eyes shot open as the fury returned.

"Izuku Midoriya, I told you didn't I?That I'd kill you in the most painful way possible.Now you get to watch as I murder another one of your little friends, one last failure before I come over and put you down for good.Just that like that skank who tried to stop me last time." Shigaraki was jubilant in his glee.His stark white hair flowing as the rest of his wrecked body hadn't properly recovered, cracks were all over his skin.

Izuku turned to see Shinsou stand up ready to face this monster given human form, and he couldn't allow him to die too.If his last blast with Kacchan's quirk was Plus Ultra than this one would be Plus Chaos."Shin ... sou ... move."

Both people present in this barren hellscape turned to face the person who had been bisected on the floor."Midoriya No!"

Izuku ignored the boy and blasted him back with Galeforce, the rush of wind only managed to stagger Shigaraki for a bit but it was all the time he needed.'Goodbye One ... For ... All.Good ... bye ... Mo.'

'Explosion ... plus ... Quirk ... Enhancer ... times ... five ... One ... for ... All ... 100% ... condensed AP Shot.'

There was no final battle cry, no joy, only the last ditch attack of a person committed to completing a final task.There was silence as the explosion was unleashed but that was only because the attack itself moved faster than the sound it could create.A lazer beam shot out from his right hand as the heat and raw force caused his limb to explode with the attack.Izuku barely managed to aim the beam up in order to prevent more devastation.

That said nothing about what happened to the things in front of the attack, what it hit was vaporized, a scar now ran across the land itself.Izuku saw nothing as his vision went white and that was the end, he was sure of it.

Izuku returned to the reel world shaking and sweating, everything that just happened felt so real."How?"

"Who knows, quirks are mysterious things Midoriya.It seems our time is also up, I don't regret meeting you child." Nighteye gave a rare smile which made Izuku shudder.

"Wait I can still save you!You don't have to die!"

"You're right I don't but I want to die, do you have any idea the kind of curse that is laid on someone who can see the future.I've lived countless lifetimes, all in other peoples memories.My actual age is probably over 150 at this point, everything's just blended together and I no longer can differentiate between timelines and lives.Please Midoriya, let me die in peace, I walked into that building today in order to die."

Izuku could barely process what the man in front of him was asking."I but-

"No buts, let it happen and Midoriya, no matter how much you want to, do not take my quirk.You're better off without that cursed thing." Nighteye fixed his glasses.

"I suppose it's about time then.Oh and one last thing, I showed you this vision because I believe in you."

The world started collapsing around him."No let me stop this!All Might needs you!Togata needs you!"

As Izuku tried to reach out and grasp the man he only found darkness as he finally returned to the real world.

As his consciousness returned Izuku watched as the man's arm fell from his shoulder landing in a pile of his own blood.'Huh, you'd think I'd be desensitized to this at this point but the tears will still flowing.' All around Izuku he heard people cheering for Endeavour.

'Why, why did you do this Nighteye?Why did you show me that vision?Was that your way of telling me to change it?'

Izuku could only ponder as he stared at the man with a peaceful look on his face."Why were you such a strange person Nighteye?"

'Why were people cheering when all Izuku wanted to was curl up in a ball and die.In the future he's supposed to lose everything, how could he possibly cheer?'

A Dark Room, Date Unknown

Izuku awoke with a start, well he says awoke but in reality he was just suddenly here.'Why can't I feel the connection to my army?' Suddenly something started swishing through the air, his danger sense immediately activated and he entered Combat mode, activating as many of his quirks and started firing on all cylinders.'Thermal, Snapshot, Elasticity plus Quirk enhancement.' The quirk stealer thought as he surrounded himself with bubbles of elasticity.' Something hit the ground with a thud as Izuku realized he was surrounded by many different things.Nomu from the looks of it.

"Aww Izuku kun why do you have to struggle against my love so much.It's just your lovely Himiko!" The girl said patting herself as she got off the floor.

"You are really persistent you know that?" Izuku whined out, 'how in the fuck had they caught him.' His last Memory was being on a rooftop next to Nighteye's dead body, why couldn't he remember anything after that?

"Awww Izu kun everything's fair in love!" The girl was twirling one of her knives around."Restrain him Nomu!"

"Yeah fucking right I'm outta here." Izuku pointed his palm at the floor opening a portal to U.A. for him to drop through only for a small pinprick to hit his hand.Izuku stared at it curiously, is that a quirk erasing bullet?!"OH FUCK NO!" It was his bad hand anyway, sorry Recovery Girl.Izuku grabbed his right arm with his left wreathed in muscle and ripped the appendage clean off.

A very uncomfortable sound of bone and flesh tearing was accompanied by the limb starting to turn to goop."Oh, I'm a clone.Hi Twice!Hi doctor!" His body was quickly also beginning to turn to goop no matter how he tried to resist it."Awww what a shame, here I was going to enjoy ripping you all apart piece by piece.I only hope the next me get's a better shot at it.Byeeeeee!" The quirk stealing clone dissolved into a pile of goop with the biggest grin on his face.

"Phooey, how does he always figure it out so quick..." Toga just wanted some quality time with her darling.

"It's so creepy/It's so cool!" Twice added as he watched another one of his cloned failures break apart.

"At least this was better than the first time.He murdered two Nomu and broke Magne's arm before we stopped him.Why are we doing this again Ujiko?We're down to two quirk erasing bullets now.Dabi added.

"Like I said all we have to do is successfully detain him once and then the reward will be tenfold." Ujiko giddly explained.

"But like what if one of them actually escapes, that one got pretty close." Spinner said from his position behind a Nomu."Twice can't get rid of his clones right?We might have to fight two of them at once if he does escape."

Magne was nursing the aforementioned broken arm."Not to mention he didn't have that elasticity quirk last time.He might end up getting one that let's him escape instantly."

"As long as Shigaraki is undergoing his surgery I'm in charge.However I do concede that this may need to be given some more thought.Most people aren't willing to rip their own arm's off." The Good Doctor was honestly a tad bit intimidated by the boy because of his near suicidal actions.

"Oh well, next time for sure Izu-kun." Toga was playfully nudging the goop pile on the floor that was her darling with her foot.

Momo and Eri were retrieved from her room by Aizawa shortly after the incident finished.They both came to the obvious conclusion that Izuku had at some point teleported to the fight and was likely the person who healed Endeavour.This point was further reiterated by Todoroki when he commented about how his father had never been capable of such feats like the ones he demonstrated today.The Heterochromatic teen looked he had mixed thoughts on the subject but Momo let it go, it seemed like everything went well and thats all that mattered.Further commenting would likely spook Eri and no one present wanted to do that.

This led to the present group of Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Aizawa, Uraraka, Tenya, Eri, and Hagakure people sitting around the common room dorm table waiting for the boy's return.

After an hour Aizawa huffed."Where is the Problem Child?I swear he needs like a collar or something, Yaoyorozu you can make GPS trackers right?" Aizawa looked between the students still present and groaned."I do not get paid enough for this." The man further grumbled.

"Uh yes Aizawa-Sensei?" The girl was sheepishly rubbing Eri's hair."But um are you asking me to put a tracker on my boyfriend?"

Aizawa gave her a glare before pulling a juice packet out of his pocket."No, as that would be illegal.I am asking however that if somehow one 'accidentally' fell into his clothes or something.That would be very amenable."

"Sensei I do not believe it ethical to do such a thing!" Iida quickly added.

"I dunno seems like a good idea to me, I'd like one as well Yaomomo." The invisible girl had a very nonchalant look on her face when Iida directed his gaze towards her she continued."I mean he can teleport and has been kidnapped before, it seems like a good idea to me.

Iida opened his mouth again to speak but shut it before he said anything.

Uraraka was just poking both of her fingers together awkwardly."Maybe we should make one for the entire class?Kinda like Deku's animals?"

Speaking of animals Eri was playing with her cat using a small feather she found, Tsu couldn't keep her eyes off of the sight.

"I wouldn't be opposed." Shouto flatly added.

"Be that as it may tracker or not as his teacher I'm not allowed to leave until he returns but you all don't have to wait up for him.I can take Eri, you all need your rest and I see no reason to keep you here until he arrives." Aizawa got up and started making coffee as he said that.

"I want to make sure he's okay Sensei, I owe Izuku at least that much.My brother was finally cleared from the hospital the other day.He made a full recovery, he can walk, and I want to thank Izuku for it." Iida's eyes started watering and thankfully everyone present seemed to ignore it.His brother was safe, his brother was unharmed, Tenya had never been happier than when he received that message.

"Your choice." Aizawa shrugged."One of you try calling him or something.Tell him if he makes me wait any longer I'm giving him detention." Aizawa dryly added as he watched the machine do its job and create the nectar of the gods.

Momo had been doing that for the past thirty minutes and it went straight to voicemail every time, she pouted and tried one more time getting the same response."Still no, has the Principal or All Might heard anything?"

It was now Aizawa's turn to check his phone, almost if on cue it started ringing."Speaking of the devil..." Or rat, Aizawa thought."Yes Nedzu?"

"I was wondering when you would try to reach out to me.Izuku is fine but there was an ... incident." His voice lacked the usual cheer the Rat possessed.

Aizawa pinched the bridge of his nose because of course there was."What happened?"

That caused the group present to perk up."Is he hurt!?" Uraraka quickly jumped up.

"No Midoriya is fine but something has happened."

There was silence on the line for a few more seconds, followed by some bickering by two voices Aizawa didn't recognize, something about a beard."Nedzu?" Aizawa pressed further.

An audible sigh came through."I suppose I should tell you, Midoriya found a wounded Nighteye who died to the wounds he sustained shortly after but not before giving the boy an ominous vision of the future."

Aizawa remembered his chat with the boy about what Nighteye told him, but what was so important that the man needed to die for Midoriya to see it, and since when could the man give people visions?"I heard an abridged version from Midoriya after the Toga Incident.What changed?"

A tut followed."That's the thing, technically nothing but at the same time everything.It might be easier for you to come talk to him yourself, he's ... despondent at the moment." And covered in blood, the bear thought.

"I'm on my way." Aizawa then turned to his students."I'm going to check on him, all of you go to bed, your just going to worry him more like this."

"But-" Hagakure was cut off.

"No buts, go to sleep or you're also getting detention.Yaoyorozu your in charge of Eri tonight." Aizawa's glare cut through the students and they quickly but reluctantly complied.

Yaoyorozu did as she was instructed, taking Eri by the hand, her mind in turmoil as they walked.She didn't even notice the worried gazes her friends were giving her.What if's and countless theories floated around.Was he going to go back to the way he was before?How could she stop him from ruining himself?What if-

Her thoughts were interrupted by the small girl holding her hand."Miss Momo we're already here, Mister Izu will be okay."

Seeing that she had in fact been read by a seven soon to be eight year old girl, Momo did her best to calm down."You're probably right Eri." At least I hope you are the girl thought to herself.

In Nedzu's Office

"Now now Midoriya, I ask that you calm down and explain it to me again, everything." He'd just gotten off the phone with Aizawa, and had called Toshinori earlier, hopefully one of the two could calm the boy down better than he was.

"But it doesn't matter, nothing matters, we're just cogs in a machine.Everyone's going to die, me included.Well except Shinsou apparently and well hopefully he lives because I was already dead at the time and I'm not even sure I took Shigaraki out, I think I heard Uraraka's voice and maybe Hagakure's.I could somehow hear my own thoughts and if that wasn't creepy enough Todoroki dies, Bakugo dies, well at least I think he did because I had his quirk, I had Mina's quirk too so that means she's probably dead, I know Jirou dies and suddenly I'm back in my body.Shigaraki can destroy cities and he has an army of Nomu, apparently cutting his head off wasn't enough to kill him so I'm not sure I even managed to finish him off at the end, and boy oh boy was I trying to kill him in that vision.Did you know he kills Momo because I do and I don't know what to do with any of this information and I think I'm having a panic attack.Why am I covered in blood?What year is it?Oh is that you All Might, it's nice to see you, why do you look so worri- The boy was suddenly cut off as the elder man hugged him.

Aiba and Danjuro had been watching the boy's demented rant from the very beginning when he stumbled through a portal carrying somebodies body and had no idea how to process whatever was going on.Silently but quickly the pair walked over to Nedzu trying to keep some distance between themselves and the deranged boy."Should we get out of here?We weren't supposed to be seen by anyone." Danjuro quietly whispered to the quirked animal.

"Probably but I do not possess the means to move you at the moment, I don't suppose you'd mind waiting in my side office." Nedzu pointed to the door and the pair quickly moved over to it before opening it and closing it.

All Might had gotten the call from Nedzu and promptly rushed into the bear's office, thankfully he was already nearby as he was reviewing the papers that had been freshly graded by U.A.s mysterious new TA in the teachers lounge.However, the sight of the boy shocked the man to his core and papers quickly became the last thing on his mind.He'd seen the boy depressed, sad, angry, livid, something beyond livid, happy, joyous, in fact he'd know the boy longer than pretty much everyone at U.A., so he'd like to think he had a good grasp on the boy's mental state.But this?This was an entirely different state of being, the boy looked like he was halfway delusional as he wobbled and clenched his fists.Taking the silence as a positive thing All Might simply held the boy for a bit, saying nothing as he slowly started grounding himself."2148."

Izuku looked up confusedly.

"You asked the year my boy, are you better now?"

Focus reentered his eyes as he remembered where he was, he wasn't laying bisected on the floor, he still had legs and Momo was still very much alive."...Nighteye." More tears leaked from his already stained face.

Toshinori hadn't even registered that the man's body was in the room because he'd been so worried about Midoriya but now that he looked down he saw it, his dead sidekick, somehow in death he had a smile on his face.Either way he had a more important job at the moment."Young Midoriya, look at me.Don't think about anything else, look at my gaunt sunken hollowed out face and breathe." Hopeful that injecting a little humor might help in this situation.

Izuku did as he was told and remembered what Tenya told him about panic attacks and started counting as he breathed in and out.Izuku needed to repay the engine user later, that trick has come in handy very often."Okay... I'm here.I'm in the present, I'm not there." Was this disassociating?He'd seen Eri do it briefly when he revealed Overhaul, the quirk, to her.

"Good, now how many fingers am I holding up." The gaunt man asked.

"T-three." Izuku started to turn his head but All Might forced him to look at him instead.

"My boy I told you to look at me.Don't pay attention to that." His voice soothing and reassuring.All Might wanted to mourn as much as the boy did at the moment but he held himself calm, he needed to be that pillar of justice right now more than ever.

"I-I saw the f-future, N-nighteye showed me i-it.And a lot of p-people g-get h-hurt, d-die." Izuku did his best to keep his gaze off of the man's pooling body, the stench in the air was acrid at the best.

"I see.What else?"

"M-mo dies, s-she gave m-me One for A-all." His breathing started to accelerate again but he did everything in his power to resettle it, focusing on his mentor and nothing else.

Well no wonder the boy was reacting this way then, he'd just been forced to live with the realization that arguably the person closest to him was going to die.All for One killed Nana's husband for the same reason, he was close to her, it would hurt the current user of One For All, so he did it.So Toshinori wasn't surprised that Shigaraki would kill Yaoyorozu to hurt Izuku.

"It's not just h-her, a lot of m-my c-classmates d-die."

Toshinori just hugged the boy again.

Izuku didn't stop though."S-shigaraki w-was so s-strong, I was s-so scared and a-angry and h-hurt." More tears started leaving the boy's eyes again.

Nedzu had been watching all of this silently from his seat, not quite sure how to react in this situation.Emotion was not exactly the rat's strong suit, he often found it hard to empathize with humans due to his upbringing.

Aizawa then burst into the room."Problem child, are you okay?!" He saw the scene and instantly halted as he scanned the room, the scent of blood was thick in the air, it didn't take the man long to identify why.Midoriya was covered in the stuff and there was a body next to him, a body the man recognized, Sir Nighteye.

Izuku was startled briefly by the sudden outburst but stopped shaking shortly afterwards.

"It's okay to be scared my boy.No matter how much I look it, I too am often scared.Nobody is immune to the feeling and those that are, are fools." Toshinori was stroking the boys back gently.

Aizawa turned to exit the room as he felt that maybe he should wait till they're done with their moment but as soon as he did he noticed that Problem Child number 2 had followed him because of course she had.Aizawa just facepalmed before sitting down."Come in Yaoyorozu." He mouthed silently to the pale girl.

Knowing she was busted she listened to the man and gingerly walked into the room, the shivering crying mess that was her boyfriend was a far cry from the usual bravado he demonstrated.The sight visibly pained her and she decided to do what she could and ran over to join their mentor in hugging the boy."It's alright Zu, it's alright." Momo of course had no idea what had gotten him like this but she suspected it had to do with the body of Sir Nighteye, she didn't like the man of course but she didn't want him dead either.

"See Young Midoriya, Young Yaoyorozu is right here, she's safe."

'What did All Might mean she's safe?' the creation user thought."Yeah I'm fine Izu, nothing is going to happen to me."

"B-but you d-didn't s-see it, there w-was so much d-death M-mo."

Quickly putting the pieces together, Momo realized what was going on.There was really only one possibility if it was about the future and Nighteye was involved."Whatever happens Izu, I'll be fine.We'll make it through it, together."

"It's n-not, it's so b-bad."

"Izu please, let me help, I can stop it, WE can stop it."

The boy was getting tired of them telling him that it'll be fine because it won't be."None of you were there!YOU DIDN'T SEE WHAT I SAW!" The boy snapped and when he saw their hurt faces he immediately regretted it."I- I'm sorry I didn't m-mean it."

"I know you didn't Young Midoriya, it is quite alright.But perhaps we should have this conversation somewhere else.This environment isn't conducive to the kind of talk we need to have.Can I trust you to handle the situation Nedzu?" All Might turned to the quirked animal.

Seeing what the man meant by that he nodded."Indeed, I shall.Please excuse yourselves and take all the time you need, that includes you Aizawa, no skulking over there in the corner."

The Erasure hero just grunted.

"My boy could you perhaps make us a portal to the roof of the dorms, I'm sure your animals would love to help comfort you right now." Toshinori softly asked.

Izuku just gave a weak nod and a portal opened, he let the others gently push him through and they were flanked by Aizawa taking the rear.The man remembered their old conversation and if he was going to be at this battle he needed to hear what was going to happen.'I'm retiring after this class graduates,' the Erasure hero gruffly thought.

Aiba poked her head out the door."Are they gone?" Gentle was standing over her diminutive stature and also peering into the room.They were dressed in some casual clothes that Nedzu had gotten for them.

"Yes you may both come out now." Nedzu got up from his chair and looked at the body of the fallen hero.For all his intelligence he simply had no idea what the seer had been planning to do with the revelation he'd dropped on the poor boy.Nedzu used his paw to shut the man's eyes."This is going to be a long day.I suppose I shall call Tsukauchi first.I'm sorry but you two will need to retire to your rooms for the remainder of the day."

Aiba gave a curt nod while Gentle began to speak."Of course, if you need any assistance please let me or my partner know.I did not know the man before us, but you and the boy have my condolences."

Nedzu gave them a sad smile."I'm sure he appreciates it, I know I do." As the couple departed Nedzu pulled out his phone and began typing in the number of a very tired detective.

1-A Dorms, Rooftop.

As soon as the quartet exited the portal all manner of deformed 'animals' began crowding around their master, their god.They shared an emotional link with their deity and they felt his pain, they wanted nothing more than to soothe it.Izuku gently pet one of the Eldritch dogs while a few of the hand goats nuzzled him with their mouths.

To Aizawa the sight was both horrifying and oddly cute, he remembered when the boy had made him a cat as a gift and an apology for what he and Nedzu did to him.If anyone ever saw the creature Aizawa would instantly deny that he loved the thing, even with it's weird appendages.

Everyone present was silent for a bit before the quirk stealer finally spoke."I'm not over it but I t-think talking a-about it h-helped." The tone was soft, weak, empty.

"That's a good thing my boy, getting it off your chest must be a painful thing to do but I'm sure that in the long run it is the best option.Did Nighteye tell you why he showed you this vision?" That was a particularly fresh wound, talking about his Ex-Sidekick in the past tense, like he'd never be able to see him, which was true.They'd finally mended their relationship after all this time and then he just went off and died.

"H-he said t-that I changed the f-future once and that I m-might be able to do it a-again."

"See Izu we can stop it, Nighteye was wrong, his quirk can be wrong." Momo reassured the boy.

"Midoriya, we need to know everything if were going to prepare, can you give us specifics.The time?Whose dead?Where does it happen?How do people die?" Aizawa figured giving the boy a chance to flex his analytical mind would be the best distraction at the moment, he just needed to make the boy stop thinking about it from an emotional point of view and look at it from a logical one.

"I didn't see much it was only about a minute total, and I saw my death but it was strange.It was like, I was in my body and not in my body at the same time.I could hear myself thinking but it wasn't actually me, they knew things I couldn't possibly know." Izuku paused taking a breath."I think Nighteye showed me that vision because he wants me to stop it.I kill Shigaraki in that vision or maybe, I don't know, everything faded to white as I used one last attack to end it for good."

"From the beginning Midoriya, we need to start with context clues and work our way forward tell us everything." Aizawa prodded further.

Izuku took a moment to recollect and regale his strange vision, if only he'd been more lucid at the time he could've done things like check his phone or figure out more accurate details, like how people died or what caused their deaths but instead he only had his limited view."Also It's not a part of the vision itself but All Might, Nighteye told me he wanted to die and that he loved you like a brother.It was the last thing he said to me.I also need to find Mirio I have a message for him as well.I'm sorry I didn't save him but he asked me not too."

"I don't blame you in the slightest, if anything I thank you for bringing me his last words Young Midoriya, we can find Young Mirio later first we should plan.Are you sure the voices you heard as you were 'waking up' were Hagakure's and Uraraka's?Also do you have any insight into how you came upon Mina's and Bakugo's quirk?"

"No sorry, Shinsou didn't mention getting revenge for Bakugo, which I found weird honestly.I know he doesn't like him, not many in our class do, but I was using his quirk somehow and I had 4 more quirk enhancers and One for All.I must make another trip to Tartarus sometime in the future."

"Problem Child you've given us plenty of context clues.We know where this attack happens, that likely means there is some reason we are in Jakku, we also know that Yaoyorozu and a fair bit of the class die before this battle as you wouldn't know they were dead and have had time to mourn them properly otherwise.We know Uraraka, Hagakure, and Shinsou are safe, we also know about the danger Shigaraki poses in advance.Nighteye said his quirk doesn't work as well very far out, that means we might not have much time to prepare but we do have time to prepare at the very least."

"No ... that's not right, he said this one vision was clearer than any vision he'd ever seen.Something about my quirk and how it interacts with people, ... I think I need to tell you guys something.Mo you know how the previous users talk to you?" Izuku turned to the current user of One For All.

"Yes?" The ravenette had a puzzled look on her face.

"Well, All for One does something similar.He told me he would get haunted by dreams of the people who'd stolen quirks from him and ..." Izuku trailed off.

Realization shined on the girl's face."It happened to you didn't it?Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was in a bad headspace at the time and I didn't want to worry you guys further.Not to mention what if those dreams started happening to other people, Ryuto only realized she could torment me because All for One told me she could.I figured the less people knew about the possibility the less likely someone's ghost would start torturing them."

"Ryuto?" The trio all asked.

"It's the person I got Galeforce from, she'd *ahem* been 'mistreated' for her quirkless status and she vented her frustrations at me during a dream.Kuroe kind of ripped her to shreds and I haven't seen her since so It's safe to assume whatever part of her sentience was in there is gone now." The bewildered looks of everyone present didn't surprise the boy in the slightest."I'm sorry for not telling you all, especially since I've given you an extra quirk Aizawa-Sensei."

"It's fine Problem Child, at least if it happens I'll be prepared for it.Have any more of these 'ghosts' haunted you?"

"No, none.None of my classmates have said anything either but that might just be because they had a nightmare and didn't realize it.Though Ryuto herself hadn't shown up until her real life counterpart died so that might be part of it, I don't have anywhere near the amount of evidence to figure that out though.I've given quirks to thousands of people, what if I just cursed them all, what then?" Izuku looked down in pity and fear.

"Young Midoriya, you know the pain of being quirkless.I've read the statistics after all since I was quirkless myself.The suicide rate is astronomical compared to the quirked population, the death rate, the mistreatment, all those negative emotions.You've experienced it all, I'm sure every single person you've given a quirk too feels blessed, nightmares or no." All Might paused for a bit."I do wish that the quirkless weren't treated as less than human but we do not live in a perfect society as you are very aware of.You remember the counter protestors yes?They cheered for you my boy, they were more than likely people you've saved or the family of the people you've helped.Never forget that."

"I-I got it."

"Now, we need to prepare for this battle.We are going to destroy the future you've seen, are we not everybody?You my successor." All Might looked at Momo."You my colleague and good friend." All Might looked at Aizawa."And you, my son." All Might stuck his hand out as he reinflated for a bit.

Momo instantly put her hand in, grabbing Izuku's hand and adding it to the pile as well.

Aizawa saw the gesture of comradery and sneered for a bit, the smirk was almost hidden by his scarf, almost.He added his hand in as well.

"WE'RE GOING TO SAVE EVERYONE, PLUS ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The man shouted as he deflated and started coughing up blood.

"Don't overdo it you idiot, you can't even fight in the upcoming battle anyway." Aizawa mockingly said, ugh he was going to have to tell his class about this wasn't he.

All Might looked sad for a bit but then Izuku spoke."Um I may be able to help with that actually."
