AN0: NOTE! I somehow mixed up INSTALL and INCLUDE for the ENTIRE CHAPTER! So I fixed it!
PLUS ULTRA!
AN1: ALERT! GENDERBENDING, BUT NO YAOI!
For those of you who have followed me for a while, please read this. Thank you for your time.
For those who follow me because of my RWBY fanfic reboot 'The Gamer's Arc', good news. It's pretty much done. I'll put it up in a week's time or so.
In all honesty, I've pretty much been done with it a while, but kept changing stuff and becoming unsatisfied with random shit. The problem was that I have TOO many things I wanna write for a bunch of stuff, but no job because I have to take classes again, and then no drive to write when I'm taking more classes again. And being broke and being unable to do shit is discouraging af.
And yet I got addicted to Fate Grand Order (which is Gacha Hell) and I keep getting sucked into and rewatching the hell out of My Hero Academy and Konosuba.
So writing this actually got some of my creative juices flowing again, letting me finish Ch 7 of The Gamer's Arc. I also have an idea for a Fate/Konosuba crossover that I'm itching to work on, but I'm finding myself fairly sated by this Fate/BokuNoHero.
And I'm confident in my creativity and writing ability, although a couple months of not writing's definitely made me rusty. So if my ability seems to have dropped some, I apologize.
I'm actually thinking of maybe starting a for Fanfiction to keep me motivated and actually able to write. Especially since if I'm making money to entertain through my writing, it might keep me accountable, as I would have NO excuses in such a situation. Like a side-job.
This is just an idea, btw, because I really wish myself that I'd put out more written story work.
Especially cuz I also have an outline for an actual standalone book that I've been putting on the back burner for a while that is just FILLED with weird, but fun characters and concepts. (Code Named: Little Croc) I'm putting this out there just because I'm interested in your opinions, not because I'm demanding anything from my readers.
Well, that's enough of my rambling, please enjoy!
Begin
"Looky looky Hina-chan! It's the newest All Might action figure!" A grinning green haired boy cheerfully and triumphantly shoved a shining toy into his friend's face.
"It's awesome, Izuchii! But get it out of my nose, please." said 'Hina-chan' cheerily. "Have you shown Kacchan yet?"
'Izuchii' shook his head animatedly, causing the blue frock-like preschool uniform he was wearing to shake from side to side like a bouncing little jellyfish.
"Not yet, but I'm gonna-"
Crackle! Crackle! Pop! Pow!
"Huh? What was that?" 'Hina-chan' turned his little raven-haired head towards the sound, nibbling on a Meiji chocolate mushroom snack. His purple irises glinted mischievously. The teachers had informed them that around this age, Quirks would begin manifesting for most people. This meant that anything that changed in the classroom would be because of Quirk.
"WHOA!"
"EVERYONE LOOK! KATSUKI'S GOT HIS QUIRK!"
"WOW! SO COOL!"
"Oh. So it's Kacchan." 'Hina-chan' tossed another choco-shroom into his mouth as he approached the crowd, spotting 'Izuchii' excitedly squeeze his way through the rest of his classmates towards their mutual best friend.
Even the teachers had come crowding around to see the awakening of a new Quirk.
"Wow. That's the Quirk of a Hero for sure!" said one as they congratulated the boy named Katsuki Bakugo. "It's not everyday when you learn what your Quirk is! It's more important than birthdays!"
"Our little Kacchan's growing up, eh? Man his Quirk makes me jealous." said the teacher's assistant.
"Hmm! Of course my Quirk is awesome. It's me after all!" Bakugo grinned fearlessly. "I'm gonna be a Hero someday!"
'Izuchii' ran forward to take a closer look, too excited and curious to have any sort of sense of danger.
New Quirks were often hard to control, and their young users had no judgement of their ability and powers, so accidents were most common in little children between the ages of 4 - 7.
Therefore, while the teachers immediately loudly warned Midoriya Izuku aka 'Izuchii' to not get too close, it was too late as a particularly powerful explosion fired off in the wrong direction, hitting Izuku in the eye, instantly flash cooking and burning it away into a terrible smoking pit.
"AAAUAUUUAUGHHH!"
"OH MY GOD! KATSUKI KILLED IZUKU!"
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!"
"N… no… I didn't mean… to…"
"IZUCHIIIIIIIIIII!" Horror filled the stomach of Chiba Hinata (aka Hina-chan) as he almost threw up the Meiji Shrooms he had swallowed seconds earlier. Dropping the green cardboard box of chocolate treats, he dashed to Izuku's side, as the crying boy held both hands to his right eye, screaming in pain that no four year old should have been forced to feel.
[Oh my god… he can't even cry from his injured eye!]
Hinata began hyperventilating, all sound seeming to bleed away as he held his friend, desperately trying to think of what he could do to help his friend.
[If Kacchan didn't mess up with his Quirk… If he didn't awaken his Quirk today…] Hinata lamented. He shook his head. Although it would be the easy thing to do, it was wrong to put all the blame on Bakugo [WHAT DO I DO!? WHAT CAN I DO IN THE FIRST PLACE?!]
[...Do you desire power?]
[Huh?]
[If you had power… What would you do?]
[I'd save my friend! I'd heal him! I'd save his eye!]
[Is that so?] The voice giggled. [Then I shall lend you my power. Call to me, little lamb.]
Hinata held back his tears at the kind words as he grit his teeth desperately.
He didn't know who the voice was, what to do, or what was going on. He would later inform those who questioned him that the next words he spoke came out of his mouth without being told what to do and without thinking.
" I̡͗͐͆ͧͮͦ̚N̶̠̣͛͋ͧC̀̊͗͏͙̘L̥͚̩͇̙̮̈́͋̋͂U͙̘̯̮̗͈͖͡Ḑ͇̳̪͎̻E̹͋ͪͥ̉̈̒:̶͙ͮ ̛͍̯̝̹̫ͬͫͨ́͋ͅR̥Ị̯̤ͧ̄D̔͌̅̿͋́Eͤ̒́ͦR̺!̼͔ͯ̂͒ͯͯͅͅ "
A staff as tall as a grown man materialized above Hinata's head. The staff had a silver cross protruding from the top, with a smaller blue cross made of what once must have been the biggest sapphire in the world as the larger, silver cross's core. It was held in place by ornamental gold connector inlaid with beautiful ruby, the gold stretched down like gentle tendrils over the purple leather that wrapped around the body of the staff, which provided the grip. A smaller golden decorative cross, also inlaid with ruby was attached to the butt of the staff.
The whole class grew silent at the sight of the beautiful staff, as if it had a regal, almost holy aura. Whether it was that saintly feeling, or it's bewitching beauty, or the fact that what Hinata had done was undoubtedly a Quirk as well, nobody made a sound as it descended slowly into his outstretched hands.
"O Lord. Let thyne light shine! I beg of you… GRANT ME A MIRACLE!"
Green light exploded from both Hinata's body and the staff, as golden motes of light appeared from thin air and descended upon the room.
A small hiss could be heard as the green light and golden motes gravitated towards Izuku's eye, the useless charred flesh floated away as ash as a new eye grew in it's place. The skin around it becoming fresh baby peach, a clear contrast to it's previous sickly grey and black, drew gasps from those around him.
Everyone could feel the energy in the room.
It throbbed through them all like an unimaginable holy heartbeat.
Little scabs peeled away to fresh, clean skin.
Scars glowed before fading away.
The teacher even felt her lower back pains and the phantom pain from the foot that she had lost in a villain attack four years back fade away.
Then a clacking could be heard as her prosthetic foot unlatched itself and fell away as a new foot appeared in it's place.
The teacher's aide, her boyfriend of seven years gaped, tears falling from his eyes as she desperately held her hands to her mouth, trying incredibly hard not to begin sobbing in joy, knowing that currently her wards came first. Even if she had witnessed the greatest miracle in her life.
Hinata cared little about the opinions of his friends, tossing the staff away causing it to disappear in a gentle glow.
"Izuchii! Are you ok, Izuchii! Speak to me!"
"A...arigato, Hina-chan…" Izuku managed to choke out before succumbing to the earlier shock and passing out.
Katsuki couldn't believe his eyes.
He hadn't meant to hurt Deku at all. Even if he was a useless weakling at times, the boy was one of his best friends after all. They had been nursing friends since their first cradle. How could this have happened?
And what the hell was Hina-chan's Quirk?
The strongest healing Quirk in the world belonged to a Hero born from the second Quirk generation called Recovery Girl, and even she couldn't heal what wasn't there. If it was her, Deku would have had to live with a single eye all his life...
Wasn't this…
...a miracle?...
This guy…
Hina-chan, who was always laid-back and calm…
Since when was he such an overwhelmingly impossible character?!
It didn't take long for the class to dissolve into chaos, the teachers forcing the little kids into a different room as they contacted the proper authorities as protocol indicated while Izuku, Hinata, and Bakugo were all left where they were so that they could be questioned accordingly.
Of course, Bakugo didn't get into trouble.
It was the very first day he had his Quirk and it was really Izuku's fault for being so overzealous and excited in the first place.
But the issue became Hinata.
Healing Quirks were one of the rarest in the world. Any country could easily be proud and happy if they could claim that they had even a single Healing Quirk. They were priceless abilities that could overcome even the power of modern medicine.
But none of the Healers in this world could regenerate what was truly lost. Especially an amputated body part of four years.
It was so powerful that it would endanger the young child's life.
If a powerful Villain or criminal organization got to him, then things could become VERY bad.
The government swept in and Chiba Hinata was withdrawn from his preschool the very next morning as he entered protective custody.
In the span of a single moment, Chiba Hinata became the most famous four year old in the entire world. Luckily, his name being both common and unisex, the government blacklisted and hid all the child's personal information, hiding even his gender and birthdate from the masses.
While tabloids and newspapers kept speculating on whether it was the birth of a god, a quirk that blessed the user with the power of the gods, or even as mind boggling as the rejection of reality itself, swarms of reporters harassed the little preschool until the police had to take action.
It became such an issue that the Federal Bureau of Heroics declared that Chiba Hinata would be protected by both of the Number 1 and Number 2 heroes, All Might and Endeavor, making sure that this Quirk could not fall under the hands of Villains.
Or the greatest hidden evil of the world…
All for One.
"Indeed. If All for One stole young Hinata-chan's Quirk, then it would spell disaster for the world…" A tall, muscular blond man mused. "As it is, I am no longer able to handle him at his best…"
"Indeed. However, if young Hinata-chan were to heal YOU…" A large white mouse the size of Hinata himself grinned smugly from inside his little suit, "It could change everything."
They turned to Chiba Hinata, who could only stare with stars in his eyes at the overbearingly heroic visage of the greatest Hero in the world, much to the irritation of a blazing Endeavor.
The Hellfire Quirk user was, understandably internally furious.
Due to the current situation, he had learned that All Might had been slowly but surely weakening from an injury so severe that it had absolutely destroyed one of his lungs and had damaged his heart, weakening both the blond's circulatory system and immune system. The amount of time each day that he could even USE his power had been lessening. If he had somehow surpassed All Might in this state and learned of it later, Endeavor would have never accepted it. Nor would he now.
He grinned ferociously at the little child in front of him.
However, this ridiculous child could do it. He could restore All Might to his prime. And in doing so, Endeavor would have the proper rival that his pride demanded.
While Hinata had been clearly terrified to learn that ALL MIGHT of all people had a Villain Nemesis so powerful that he had almost DIED fighting him, and even more shocked to learn of his despair inducing injury, he was determined to do his best to heal the injury.
[It shall not be enough, little lamb.]
[Huh?]
[The injury is not merely old and complex. It carries an evil miasma. A curse of death and decay.]
[Wh-what?]
Hinata gulped, trying to choke down the dark feeling in the pit of his stomach.
[What do you mean? This power you gave me… I healed Izuchii with it!]
[And so I understand it better than anyone. You cannot use its full power with merely a basic Include. You need to draw on more power. You must become a Vessel. One able to withstand my very Identity.]
[...I can do it.]
[Are you sure? Once you do this… there will be no stepping back.]
[You're a part of my Quirk, right? Then believe in me. Because I believe in you!]
A beautiful and lovely laughter filled his head.
[Then I shall do as you wish, my Master. I shall from this day forth serve you as the Lord has declared of me. Call upon me, Master. Your feelings, your heart that believes, I can certainly feel it.]

"O Lord! Let thyne Light heal this blessed shield. Tend to the Lion's wounds! Grant me thyne Miracle!"
A beautiful staff appeared in Hinata's hands, releasing soothing green light and awe inducing golden motes of light that swarmed and flew to All Might's old injury in his torso, eliciting a gasp of surprise and then a sigh of comfort.
It was undoubtedly the most amazing feeling that he had ever felt.
Unseen to the naked eye the destroyed left lung glowed as it was restored to a perfect state, scars in the heart melted away like lies, old injuries and aches were purged like they had never occurred.
"This is… REBIRTH…" All Might exclaimed in English with wide eyes, unable to believe what was happening to him in front of his own eyes. Or to his own body.
Even Endeavor could feel his body being rejuvenated and old ailments and scars being turned into perfect, healthy flesh.
Principle Nezu of U.A. Academy couldn't even process what was happening as the scar over his right eye turned into healthy pink flesh and lustrous white fur burst forth like spring flowers after a light shower.
The old feelings of experiments past to induce Quirks in lab mice had always left him with phantom twinges that he used to just ignore by using his Quirk: High Spec to induce a state of mind over matter, but he could even feel those aches disappear in the holy light of Saint Martha.
However.
"Not to sound… undeserving… but Hinata shonen… weren't you a… you know… boy?" All Might questioned.
"Eh?"
Hinata looked at himself using the perfectly polished shining silver of her staff.
Long, luxurious lavender hair held in place by a gold-decorated silk veil. A… surprisingly scandalous nun's habit of baby blue and azure had been sized perfectly for a four year old girl's body, revealing both healthy upper thighs over beautifully crafted silk stockings, and a large T of bare skin revealing cute clavicles and some chest that shouldn't be, but somehow was budding, down to a lolicon including belly button.
The ridiculous outfit was held up by black ribbons and a red silk neck guard that protected the upper shoulders and neck, further decorated by gold crosses.
"...The hell am I looking at?" Endeavor stared incredulously, sure that Hinata would grow to be a beaut- WHAT WAS HE THINKING! He glared inwardly. This wasn't his child, and he definately wasn't a lolicon!
"...EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!" Hinata screamed aloud, dropping the almost six foot long staff.
They would all soon learn that when using his Quirk to it's fullest, also called Install Mode, he would turn into a girl, much to the young boy's dismay and the amusement of the Heros of Japan. However, this was also perfect for the young Hinata to disguise himself from the public, eventually granting him some freedom to move about in public as the whole world would come to believe that he was a girl as Hinata was convinced into country-wide tours healing the sick and injured, even able to grant miracles that could dispel incurable diseases and restore the bodies of injured Heroes and civilians alike.
And so there were an influx of older legendary Heroes returning to their former line of work, driving down the crime rate even further.
Once he became fourteen years old, just a little over a year before he would be allowed into U.A. through the recommendation program, there was even an incident that brought even more attention on the young boy.
"A… A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN?! AND A VILLAIN BECAME UNSTOPPABLE THROUGH RADIATION ABSORPTION?!" All Might spoke into his cell phone with a surprised voice. "... Yes. Yes. I'll head there immediately! I'll use my full speed and be there in 15… no! 10 minutes!"
All Might ended the call and quickly changed into his super suit.
"HINATA SHONEN! BIG TROUBLE!" he yelled backward towards the door behind him while changing.
A clatter and banging was heard as Hinata tripped and fell over in surprise, dropping a box of kitchenware in his hands.
For the past 9 years he and his mother had been living with All Might and Endeavor, bouncing between the houses of the two top heroes as the situation demanded. Having been both an only child and raised by a single mother, the Chiba family members were nothing if not adaptable.
The only thing that bothered them was that they were very particular about their kitchenware and needed to move heavy boxes of pots and pans fairly often.
"Ouch, dammit. That hurts…" Hinata moaned pitifully as he rubbed his toes.
He had grown much since that fateful day nine years ago, but much to his dismay, the influence from his Quirk had ensured that he grew up to be rather effeminate, with beautiful, gentle features looking more like a very pretty tomboy than a girlish boy.
Although he would never take back his past choices, he really wished that his Quirk didn't come with such a bothersome downside.
[It seems we'll be needed once again, Master.] Saint Martha giggled in his mind.
Another voice followed, [Should you have need of my sword, I shall give you my all, Master.]
[Ha ha! If you need it, don't hesitate to call on your bishoujo neighborhood Archer!] Another voice cheerily added.
Hinata chuckled weakly.
His Quirk was officially called Throne of Heroes. Through it he had access to the great legendary Heroes of both Past and Future in the form of nine spirits. Seven conventional classifications of Sabre, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker, as well as two nonstandard classes, each with it's own strengths and weaknesses.
The problem?
Each and every one of his Heroes were women.
Well, they were all female at least.
[Hey! You were thinking something really rude there, aren't you, Onii-chan?!]
[Hai, hai, Caster-chan. Whatever you say.]
[Mumumumumumu!] Caster muttered irritably. [Onii-chan's mean!]
Hinata just ignored her as he rushed into his room in All Might's apartment to quickly change into his Hero Outfit. Not that it really mattered considering that the clothes would change as he would likely have to use his Quirk to the Install Mode level anyways for something on this scale.
It was a simple black skintight unitard with a nine pointed star on his chest, each point ending in a symbol of the Hero Classes he possessed and on his back were golden letter that stated: Apprentice Hero - Miracle.
He slipped into his golden elbow length gloves and knee high gold boots before he pulled up the facemask attached the unitard, only his shoulder length raven locks and iconic purple eyes really making him stand out with his simplistic outfit.
While normally he wasn't allowed to go out in uniform and perform Hero duties, there were rare exceptions such as this one when All Might or Endeavor needed a helping hand or his healing abilities would be necessary, so the Federal Bureau of Heroics had cleared Hinata for an official Heroics Exception Permit License when he was taken into protection.
His healing powers had often be put to the test throughout the years as disasters seemed to occur somewhat frequently in Japan.
Hinata truly had no time to react as All Might grabbed him the moment he finished changing and ran out the door, holding the young teen like a bag of rice over his shoulder.
He closed his eyes and tried to relax as much as he could as he drew power from the Heroic Spirit he had with the most defensive power in an attempt to withstand the G-Forces and motion sickness that were wearing away at his body.
[Sorry, I know it's hard on you when I use your toughness without pulling out your Noble Phantasm through Install Mode.]
[Don't worry about it, Master. I've been through much worse. I can handle this much.]
Hinata sighed apologetically, as that didn't necessarily make him feel better about the situation.
And while he really wished that Yagi-sensei would use a little more common sense at times, Hinata never complained about a little roughness when time was of the essence.
It seemed as he arrived to the disaster site in no time at all as All Might stopped at a mountain overlooking the city to get a good grasp on the situation. A glowing red nuclear facility could be seen in the distance, not too far from the shore-line. However a more threatening glow was coming from a hulking 40 meter tall giant dinosaur-esque Villain that was wreaking havoc in the city.
"Wow that's huge… And it's inside the city limits! This is bad, sensei!" Hinata grimaced.
The Villain fired a bright green plasmic beam into the city as Hinata finished his sentence, much to the concern of both All Might and Hinata. All Might had been about to jump with all his might, no pun intended, but the beam was sucked in by a tiny white figure in the distance that was standing on the top floor of a skyscraper.
"Oh! Number 13 was already here! What fortune!" All Might grinned happily. "This is our chance! With 13 to nullify those radioactive beams and my strength, we'll force him into the ocean to minimize the damage he can cause! And we'll kill two birds with one stone by restricting the Villain's aim to a smaller angle of attack, making it easier for 13 to absorb that beam with his Quirk: Black Hole! Shonen! Stay back here and use your Archer Install to give us support should anything go wrong. If needed, I'm giving you permission to your Rider's Noble Phantasm. I can't run on water for more than two or three steps, so I might end up needing your support. You told me that your Rider's Noble Phantasm is your best aquatic situation ability, right?"
"So good that I'm considering leading with it, yeah."
"HA HA HA! Let's leave the most successful option as our Ace in the Hole, Hinata shonen! Now… I'M OFF! ALL MIGHT! LAUNCHING! PLUS! ULTRA!"
Hinata had to protect his face with both arms as All Might leapt away at full force, almost bowling the young boy over via shockwave. He only need one more leap before flying into the Villain's face, a single fist extended like a modern day, real-life superman.
"All Might is so damn cool!" Hinata fanboyed for only a second before centering himself. "He punched that thing across the city! The tail grazed a few buildings… but the damage looks superficial. Hope nobody got hurt from that… From the center of the metropolis to the beach shore in a single punch… Amazing…"
[It would not be feasible if he had been in the state you met him in 9 years ago, Master.]
[Umu. Thanks as always for your help, Martha-nee.]
[Ufu fu fu. Not a problem at all, Master.]
[Rider. Favorite. Not fair. Master. Meanie.] the monotone voice of a young girl echoed, only a hint of pouting apparent in her intonation.
[Ara~] Rider cooed, grinning happily.
[Th-that's not true, Assassin. I don't pick favorites like that, you know that. I've just known Rider the longest. It can't be helped.]
[Onii-chan's a liar~] Caster pouted along, [Onii-chan's a-]
[Fine, fine. I'll treat you and Assassin to cake after this in apology for not using you often enough. I can't help that I don't often have the ability to use your skillsets! Just wait a few more months, ok? Once I'm in UA, I'll use you more often, ok?]
[Hai, onii-chan.] they both responded happily.
Hinata just sighed.
"You two just wanted free cake, dammit… Ah, well. Kids will be kids, I guess. Ready then, Archer?"
[Ha ha! Yay! Let's go Darling!]
" I̡͗͐͆ͧͮͦ̚N̶̠̣͛͋ͧC̀̊͗͏͙̘L̥͚̩͇̙̮̈́͋̋͂U͙̘̯̮̗͈͖͡Ḑ͇̳̪͎̻E̹͋ͪͥ̉̈̒:͏̹̱͇̳̪̹ ̭̊̈͜A̮̞̮̠ͥ̒ͥ̂R̢̦ͯ̃̄̑̓C̨͉̬͈̋͗̅H̍̇̈́͂҉͉̠̣̬̭̰E̹̱ͦ̃͝R̟͚͚!̪̤̬͓̣͢ "
A golden bow appeared in Hinata's hands, multiple arcs of gold, like crescent moons made up the weapon, a gold handguard at it's core, small circular gems were inlaid, looking like tiny universes wrapped up in ethereal orbs. They glittered with otherworldly beauty as Hinata raised up the bow and took aim at the Villain.
"Man… he looks like a crappy Godzilla for real tho…" the young Hero muttered as silver light gathered on the bow like moonbeams. The light formed a large eldritch arrow that drew itself back without Hinata having to draw it back as he took aim at the Villain who was pushed back once more by a devastating SMASH from All Might.
"He's got it handled, but covering fire's always welcome, right?"
The silver bolt grew in size before firing, shattering the sound barrier. It struck and pierced the elbow of the giant lizard-like Villain, preventing All Might from being hit in midair by a wild right hook.
"No matter how armored you are… joints are hard to armor up ya know… And nobody hunts better than the Goddess of the Hunt herself."
[Ha ha, flattery won't work on me, Darling~]
The problem was that without entering Install Mode, Hinata didn't have enough strength to pierce the Godzilla knock-off's scales. Before the hour was up, there were multiple moonlight bolts piercing into the soft bit's of the Villain's body, even having taken away the vision of an eye, but the monstrous being refused to back down, even weathering the frightening power of All Might's punches.
"Must be all the radiation making him stronger and relieving his injuries… We have to force him further away from the fallout, but even All Might can't fight in the ocean while matching that thing… Plan B is Plan A all along, huh? And I suppose the only way of getting to the coast quickly is…"
[YAY! I get to go running! It's a foot race! Ha ha! This is nostalgic! Here it comes! Darling! Am I cute?]
[You're always cute.] Hinata rolled his eyes.
[Hmm! Quite nice!]
[Hmm? What is?]
And so Hinata would go to lose some more SAN points that day.
" I̹̠͔̯N͎̠̼̫͍͓̍͐͊͆S̳̙̀Ṭ͚͕̗̜̝̑ͫȦ͇̗̥͔͈̽ͦ͑L̻͋ͬ̆ͨͭ͆L͙͈̞̽̉ͪ:͈̩̼̠̤̜̇̅͢ ̀̂A̞̬̻̪͌͋ͪͭ̈́̚ͅRͣ͛ͧC͈̗̦̗ͯ̿͋̓H͉̤̮̲̭͔̊̅ͧ̌̊̍E̪̚R̰͙̍̎͗̈!͓̲̜̼̟̀ͅ ͇̱͉̦͉̰͈ͨ̉̎͊̇̉O̻͈̗̳͕͋̂̓͋ͧͣ͗R̯ͧ̐I̭̭̟̘̺̻͊̔͌ͭ̂O̥ͦ͜N̮̥̙̥͍̠!̛͔͍͈̝͙̓̽ "
This was the one Install Mode that would cause Hinata to take the fullest form of his Heroic Spirit, even though aside from Assassin and Caster who were both younger than him, he would transform into an age equivalent version in normal circumstances.
A beautiful platinum blonde seemingly in the early twenties, with large, full breasts that would make any gravure idol grit her teeth in envy. A perfect hourglass figure, perhaps the perfect measurement for beauty. Period. Hinata was now in a dress that was originally the pelt of a white tiger Phantasmal Beast transformed into a Mystic Code unique to the Divine Spirit known as Artemis. She had merged with the Heroic Spirit of her first love, the hunter Orion, causing the white dress trimmed in crimson slowly became a sunset orange, then blood red as it reached the bottom of the dress.
There was a silver cresent that floated behind Hinata with gold and silver decorating its ends. It should also be noted that while it wasn't hanging from Hinata's new beautiful platinum hair, there were little curtains of hair that had attached to that silver cresent, turning an indescribable shade of red where the hair met the silver Mystic Code.
While Orion wouldn't tell him the point of the second Mystic Code, he knew the power of the first, the dress was both to protect the body and increase it's speed.
And Artemis practically invented the CONCEPT of footracing!
A blur of silver and red, as if light itself manifested and blazed through the city, leaving only the widest and longest wavelengths behind. A red glow. Even All Might couldn't match this one aspect when Orion took him seriously.
Speed.
A speed that through its PURE CONCEPT could not lose to ANYONE.
Although Hinata had been more than a dozen kilometers from the edge of town, the beach being on the other side, Hinata found himself on the sandy shore a mere five seconds.
A patch of sand next to him exploded as All Might landed back on shore after punching the Villain again.
[...This isn't right… That guy… that's not a human with a Quirk.]
"...Huh?"
"Hina- AHEM! I mean! Miracle! I just got word from HQ! That lizard-"
"Isn't human. I know. Orion just told me."
[It's an animal with a Quirk. A Phantasmal Beast, not unlike the principle of that school you want to go to, Darling. Since this is the case, you and nun girl can go all out.]
[W-Wait just a minute! Who are you calling nun-girl, huh? Undying old ha… Ahem. I mean, yes this is quite the fortunate turn of events, Master. Let's pretend that little lizard is a false moon god and crush it, shall we?]
[WHO ARE YOU CALLING A HAG?! A FALSE MOON GOD?! I'LL CRUSH YOU, YOU LITTLE VIOLENT NUN-GIRL! DARLING DOESN'T NEED A MAN-LIKE WOMAN LIKE YOU!]
"...Why do they always fight like this…" Hinata cried pitifully as he returned to his original state.
He gave his lower back a light pounding to massage it as he took in a deep breath.
Fast or not, running with breasts that would make watermelons feel inferior was NOT good for one's back.
"Ah. Ahem. Back problems?" All Might grinned nervously, a bit of red on his face.
Not that Hinata blamed him.
All Might was no pervert, but Artemis was just genuinely THAT HUGE.
"Sexual Harassment."
"URK!"
Not that he'd let All Might get away with it, of course. Being cooped in all the time, Hinata had to find fun somewhere in life.
Mentor or not, as a straight male, he felt EXTRA uncomfortable whenever he was stared/leered at in his Install Mode.
Well, putting that aside…

While the outfit design hadn't changed from 9 years ago, it was now properly sized to fit the 14 year old version of Saint Martha that Hinata had become through Install Mode.
"And for a little more juice… 2nd Ascension!"
[A Miracle, once more, here.]
Consecrated and blessed silver gauntlets and grieves appeared over the light decorative gold and silk gloves and heels that Hinata was already wearing. Then a belt with two imperial gold hip guards that resembled very large coin-shields appeared on her womanly hips. Consecrated and blessed chainmail emerged from where the red silk neck guard met cape, the red silk of the neckguard growing over the mail as well, adding more color to the nun's habit as a whole.
"I've been gathering the needed power and understanding of the Rider class to do this for a while… Which means…"
Hinata grinned, a bit of Saint Martha's countryside hardness bleeding into his excitement.
"This is the first time I've gotten to actually USE a Noble Phantasm… I'm a little excited! O, Dragon That Knew Not of Love… Like Stars! TARASQUE!"
A brilliant light flashed out from 'The Staff HE Gave Me' and the water in front of Hinata bubbled before a giant turtle-like dragon emerged from the ocean, a lion-like mane giving it an intimidating but regal appearance.
"But you know, little Godzilla-chan… Tarasque is a real Dragon. A Phantasmal Creature whose very Identity embodies two Concepts: LOVELESS and…" a sadistic grin twisted at the world-class beautiful face of Saint Martha, "TRANSCENDING ALL METALS!"
The scales and carapace of Tarasque seemed to darken, thicken, and grow as the Dragon roared triumphantly becoming a whopping 70 meters high and 85 meters wide.
"And with the advancement of technology and humanity's development and reliance on steel and other alloys… HAS MADE TARASQUE EVEN STRONGER! Step from A+ into the realm of A++ Rank Noble Phantasms! TARASQUE!"
The faux Godzilla seemed to shake in fear before the Dragon as Tarasque spun like a top, colliding into the lizard driving it further into the ocean and away from the radiation of the nuclear plant.
After driving it a few kilometers back, it ended up becoming nothing more than a snack to the near invincible Dragon.
While helping with recovery efforts, Hinata had Tarasque shrink down to a more manageable size and both help move rubble as well as cheer up small children by giving them rides and letting them use his tail as a slide.
Videos would pop up later that day showing Hinata in Install Mode: Saint Martha summoning Tarasque in all his glory and absolutely destroying the monster that All Might fought to a standstill for an hour straight, although everyone was able to acknowledge that if it weren't for the unfavorable terrain as well the radiation, All Might probably would have destroyed the wannabe kaiju in three or four blows.
But the might, appearance, and versatility of Tarasque became a surprising overnight success, especially among small children who saw videos of a much smaller and cuter Tarasque play with children and carry around Hinata on his back.
It only took a few hours for fanart depicting 'Beauty and the Beast' became popular as well as a famous ero-doujin artist drew a semi-erotic picture of Saint Martha stretching sensually on Tarasque's back. The already revealing nun's habit not helping the poor boy's case.
After a long day of hard work rescuing, healing, and then purging away the radioactive fallout once Cementoss arrived, burying the remains of the energy plant under an untold amount of concrete to seal away further radiation, Hinata would come home to an internet sensation that he certainly didn't want.
All Might and a laughing Mrs. Chiba wouldn't be able to convince a depressed and disturbed Hinata from leaving his room for the rest of the week.
