Ochako looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her as Izuka drank a cup of blood. The two of them had gone to the restaurant a bit earlier then they had hoped thanks to the whole attack on the USJ business which the news was still obsessed with. Mina had to take a rain check on it do to her parents being rather concerned for her after the news of the attack got out.

That just left both Izuka and Ochako to themselves. The two of them had started talking about themselves. Ochako talked about her family and then asked Izuka about hers. It was then that she learned about the fact Izuka had met her sister. "You actually meet your birth sibling?"

"Yeah, Albedo is her name and from her, I learned a lot about who I am and what I can do." Though having said that she still hadn't tested out everything. "Turns out my birth name is Shalltear."

Ochako wondered what kind of parent would call their daughter that. It almost sounded like someone took shatter and tear and put them together. 'Who knows I mean it's not the weirdest name someone has given them.' Though thinking about it Ochako tested the name a few times in her head. "You know it sounds like you could use it as your hero name."

It took Izuka a moment to recall that later in the year that they would be coming up with hero names. She hadn't thought of any though she guessed most of the class had theirs already picked out. "I hadn't put much thought into my hero name."

After a few moments of silence, Ochako decided to ask a more personal. "So, if you don't mind me asking why exactly are you aiming to become a hero?"

Izuka put her finished cup on the table. She had never been asked why before. Most just commented on her Quirk and how great of a hero she would be. Except for Katsuki who wanted to fight her at every opportunity though even he seemed to not question her as to why. "I guess you can say I kind of feel like I have a legacy to work with." Ochako had a nod. Izuka's adoptive father was a Pro after all. It made sense that she would follow in his footsteps. "What about you Ochako?"

That caused her to rub the back of her head. Compared to Izuka's reason, which was rather normal considering her family, hers felt rather selfish. "I kind of am doing it for the money."

The silver-haired girl had no reaction to this. "So?" Izuka knew that it was a common thought. Pro Heroes tend to make a lot of money. Well, those that were more in the public spotlight who had merchandising deals. "It's nothing to feel ashamed about after all it natural to seek financial support for yourself and if you can help others with it then the better."

"Well, it's actually for my parents." Izuka raised an eyebrow at this. Ochako placed her chopsticks down before letting out a sigh. "My family runs a small construction company but work has been slow for a long time and we are barely making ends meet."

Izuka understood what she was hoping to do. By becoming a Pro Hero she would be able to take care of her parents. It was a far better goal compared to so many others who decided to become a hero. A sad truth about being a hero was that a lot of them who joined were selfish and were only doing it for the fame. From rumors online she was sure that Mt Lady was one such recent addition to it. "As far as reasons go your's seems noble."

Stain for his part didn't know how he had gotten into this mess. The train that he was traveling on with his disguise was suddenly attacked by this creature. Creature was the closest thing he could honestly call it. It began killing the people with talon-like fingers even taking a bite out of a few unfortunate souls. He couldn't watch this mindless slaughter and started fighting the monster. That brought them to where they are now.

All around civilians ran from the crashed train as he gripped his limp arm. Blood oozing out of several cuts across his body. The red and black figure in front of him laughed as he removed the sword from his chest right where his heart should be if he was human. "A nice blade you have right here good for cutting people up," His long tendril-like tongue gave the blade a lick. "To bad for you I don't fear being cut up," He tossed it aside as he held up his hands which formed into large knives. "After all, I was designed to be the perfect murder!"

For his part Stain had managed to put up a much better fight compared to the bulk of people he killed. Carnage was going to enjoy killing and then eating him. Before he could, however, he saw a stream of fire coming in from behind him as he dodged it. "Confessing to the fact you are responsible for all these deaths?" Standing there with his flames surrounding him was the number two hero Endeavor walked up to him. "I would say for you to come quietly but you seem far too dangerous for that."

Carnage looked at him with a laugh. He didn't fight anyone who could use fire before. "This should be fun!" Carnage jumped forward with his danger like claws as Endeavor raced forward and expertly grabbed Carnage by his throat and slammed him into the pavement.

Watching from the sidelines Stain was a loss on what to feel. On one hand, he really didn't like Endeavor. In fact, he wanted to kill him if he could. On the other hand, he wasn't an idiot and knew that it was best to let Endeavor take on and hopefully kill that thing. One thing was for sure he didn't want to be here for the outcome of the fight. He limped away as Carnage tossed Endeavor off of him using his enhanced strength to effortlessly toss him into the pavement.

Before Carnage could jump up on him and begin cutting the pro apart a stream of flames was sent by Endeavor hitting him which caused Carnage to recoil in pain. As the flames slowly burned off of him Carnage let out a winded breathe as if the pain had sapped his stamina. Endeavor picking himself up had a laugh at this. "It seems you are weak to fire."

Carnage turned to him with a savage grin. Instead of fear, the psychopath had a look of joy at this development. Despite the burning pains of the fire, he was giddy at the thought of a fight with someone who was relatively equal. Killing someone who could hurt him this badly was going to be fun. "Oh yes guess it's something to do with being part algae or perhaps my Quirk," Endeavor for a fraction of a second wondered if he had heard that right about Carnage being part algae. Both his hands morphed into axes as he gave a spike tooth grin. "Regardless I'm going to take my time killing you!"

Tomura sat in the bar as his mind wondered about his teacher's children for the lack of a better word. Eight creations out of twenty that had managed to survive and develop. 'Eight heirs to his whole Empire and then me.'

He was somewhat mad and jealous for each of them. They were designed to hold a fusion of Quirks and were without saying better suited to take over should All For One fell. Each one having a personality written into them along with an idea of loyalty. Though given how Subject Six or Shalltear acted Tomura wanted to chalk that up as a failure. He practically gated her for causing them to lost their chance to kill All Might. 'Great just great there is someone who should be my ally fighting me.'

Tomura looked at his phone as several other theories on his organization, the League of Villains, was proposed. The only good thing about the whole mess. "If only it was about the death of All Might.'

A warp gate opened up as Kurogiri walked through with a few groceries. The black market did sell everything for villains including food. "Tomura I see that you are up and about."

"Kurogiri do you know were teacher's little-created kids are?" Tomura looked at him with a glare. The young apprentice to the Symbol of Evil was not liking this.

Kurogiri thought about what to say. With it now being known to Tomura there wasn't any harm in telling him about them. "At this point, we know all but two though we have an idea that one of those might have become a rival Crime Lord."

That wasn't surprising to hear. If one of his teachers' creations is becoming a hero than, of course, one of them would go around undermining their already weakened place in the criminal underworld. Tomura just rolled his eyes and went back to his phone. "Is any of them not a problem for us?"

Kurogiri put up the groceries as he thought about how Tomura was handling this. 'Perhaps I was too quick to say that he was taking this with stride.'

Endeavor out out several deep breaths as sweet and blood dripped off his body. He had been a this for almost a whole hour. Large cuts, bruises, and his tarn outfit adorn his body. That wasn't all his body was nearing the point of overheating thanks to prolonging use of his Quirk. All around him was flames and destroyed walls. Several cars were torn apart in his fight with this villain. Carnage wasn't in a good state himself. Much of his fluid like body looked burned and already he could feel himself starting to feel pain by mare movement. Regardless it appears that he was still able to move enough to put an end to Endeavor. "Looks like I can still fight what about you firewood?"

Carnage jumped ready to finish this with his partly burned claws at the ready to cut him apart. A stream of flames shout out from the side and knocked Carnage out of the way. "You know I'm technically supposed to be on break but I literally can't believe no one else has come to help you."

With smoke coming out of his mouth was Hisashi wearing his hero costume. A dark suit that had bulletproof padding underneath and a utility belt holding several canisters around his waist. Carnage pulled himself up with a grow. "Another fire user?" He started to laugh at him. Endeavor's flame was much stronger and hotter compared to Hisashi's that it was actually funny that he thought he could "What you think you can beat me when he couldn't?" Hisashi just tossed up one of the canisters at Carnage who swiped at it as it broke apart causing a sticky substance covered him. "What is this gunk?!"

A smirk formed on Hisashi's face. Of course, his opponent didn't have much of strategy. "Flammable." Carnage looked up confused before Hisashi spat out a small ball of flames which on contact with the substance ignited into a roaring blaze that burned on Carnage causing him to yell at the fire just seemed to continue to burn. Hisashi turned over to Endeavor. "Wait who exactly is he?"

Endeavor looked at the hero in front of him. He was around his age so he couldn't be a new one. Yet, he didn't recognize him anywhere. His first thought was an underground hero or a passerby. "This… isn't… over."

The two of them turned to Carnage who was smoking as the substance finally stopped burning. Carnage pulled himself up as out cracks in his back two large bug-like wings shot out. It pained him to run away but right now he was way too injured to keep fighting. Carnage jumped into the air and flew away leaving both fire heroes to themselves.

Ochako looked at Albedo and then back at Izuka. After they had a talk about their goals in live Ochako wanted to meet Izuka's newly found sibling. When she did she had to take a few looks between the two of them as she tried to figure out how they were related. "I'll be honest I do have a hard time seeing you both as siblings based on looks."

Izuka rolled her eyes at this. She wasn't wrong though as neither of them looked similar. 'I could just say it's because we were created in a lab but I don't think that would be a good idea to say right now.'

"So this is one of your friends?" Albedo looked at Ochako almost like she was sizing her up. After a few tense moments Albedo reflexes and waved at her. "I suspect Shalltear has already told you about me but it's a pleasure to meet you I'm Albedo."

"Nice to meet you I'm Ochako." Ochako had so many questions she could ask. The first one was the one that everyone in class wondered about. Just what kind of Quirk did Izuka have? 'Should I ask about it?'

It was tempting to do so. Plus if she did then it would answer so many questions. Albedo turned over to Izuka as she felt a rumble from her phone. "Excuse me for a minute."

Walking away from them she pulled out her phone and answered the caller. She had a good idea on just who it was. "Surprise you are even awake right now."

"You be surprised how little you need sleep when your mutation allows you to subjectively turn off parts of your brain," A feminine voice answered on the other side. "You haven't by any chance meet with your father yet?"

The woman on the other end was one of All For One's former allies. After his near death at the hands of All Might, she had decided it was best to go her own way. It was her who had found Albedo and while seeing an opportunity in her was unaware of the danger that Albedo had become. Something the winged woman knew all too well. "No, though I did find my sister."

There was a pause on the other side for a few moments. "So you actually found Shalltear then?" There was a hint of surprise in her voice at hearing this. Albedo had been searching other siblings as soon as she had found her. "I forget which of them was she supposed to be?"

Albedo knew that she was betting her with this. The winged woman was not assumed in the slightest by her attempts. 'Oh, I can't wait to remove your head from your shoulders.' Albedo really didn't like her and was already set to overthrow her. A task that had become a lot easier when she foolishly gave her control over her records. "Very, funny now is there any reason you called me besides this?"

"Well, now that you mentioned it I was wondering if you could look into someone who seemed to break my dealing with the Saint Roads gang." A smirk was on Albedo's face as it was only now that she recognized this. Albedo had changed the deal in secret over a year ago. One of several things she had done to strengthen her base before she decided to take over.

"I have no idea I guess they just wanted to break it who knows." Albedo put up her act expertly. 'As soon as I get back your gone.'

A sigh was heard coming from the other end. The lady on the other end had bought it as Albedo has suspected. "Alright, when you get back I'm going to need your help to deal with this mess."

"Oh don't worry I already know what needs to be done." Albedo hanged up on her before returning to Izuka and Ochako. The two of them stopped their conversation as she walked backed up to them.

Ochako looked at Albedo with a curious look. "Who was it if you don't mind me asking?"

Albedo waved her hand dismissively. It didn't matter who the person was named as soon they won't be anything more but a corpse. "It's nothing important," She decided to change the subject to something else. Her first thought was to talk about something about something pertaining to her sister friend. "So Ochako where are you from?"

All For One was not amused by his recent discoveries. For one it turned out that number eighteen may have been working with his former ally and that the media was starting to laugh at the threat posed by his League of Villains. The first was another child that may have gone rogue to add with number fifteen. The last was just a bit insulting.

Quite a few of his former allies left him when they had at first thought him dead. Opportunists were the first, trying to jump into his position at the top of the underworld, while those who didn't have much in the way with dealings just cut there loses. This was one who he had rather strong dealings with and from what it seems had attempted to take one of his creations.

'If Eighteen takes it over them I Don't know what to feel.' Perhaps it would benefit him the long run. At the very least that would be one person who got what was coming to them. 'As for the state of the Leagues image, I feel I need to remedy that.'

What they needed was to create a core of elite members. With them serving as the backbone of the organization the news outlets would take the League as a serious threat. For a time All For One wished he had his children here as the eight of them would be more than enough. "Perhaps I could try to create a second batch?"

He scrapped that idea as sadly he didn't have the means to attempt it. Furthermore, he had lost contact with the scientist who helped with the alterations. Though that didn't mean he didn't have the failed prototypes to work with. They were kept in storage likely not decayed and with some working, he could theoretically reuse them. 'I could try to see if I could reopen Project Enchantment as well.'

Turning off both screens he active his mobile life support systems. A mask cramped itself over his body as he felt the heavy device attach itself to his chest. An upgrade was in order but it didn't matter to him. It still hurt to know how limited he was now compared to how he was just a few years ago. He stood over the Nomu he had made. None of which being like the one that had fought All Might, and compared to his greatest creations. They were more like mindless shocktroopers who existed to blunt their way through any enemies they were pointed at.

"Here it is," He looked at the cryofreeze container that held the samples of the other twelve. It was a waste to just dispose of his hard work. "Now let's see what I can do about you."

A warp gate opened within the lab as Kurogiri appeared before him. The mist covered man looked at the Symbol of Evil. "Sorry for my interruption sir," He looked at the container within All For One's hands. "Wait are those the failed Subjects?"

"Yes they are Kurogiri," All For One turned to his trusted servant with a smirk under his mask. He had asked Kurogiri to get him an old and favorite snake of his when he went to the black market. While it seemed to be a simple request it was known that he would order the things and from the reactions, he would witness they could see if any rivals were around. "I take it you saw a reaction while at the black market?"

"Sadly there was not one who seemed to react to it one bit." This brought a frown to All For One's face. He knew that there were spies around his territory so the fact there was no response was disappointing.

As he thought about it some more he did realize he had Kurogiri look out for a response from people who had no clue. While many of the upper Crime Lord's had some about what Kurogiri's order entitled not everyone would know of it. 'A simple mistake,' He hadn't been thinking clearly as if late. Too many things were happening in quick succession with each one occupying his mind. 'I should slow down and focus on at most two tasks.'

He did have Quirks that could have helped him with it but the thing is he tend to rotate his abilities. A certain number of Quirks could be used at any given time. A limitation brought on by his own body. Project Enchantment was a method to get around it. "Yes well, we should keep a watchful eye about any major change."

It was only hours after the remaining smaller criminal groups had heard about the fall of the group looking to stop the rising crime lord. As soon as word got to them they very quickly fell in line. This just left one thing to take care off. The current head enforcer was stand in front of the cloak covered figure. The individual who was now the first in over a hundred years to come out as the leader of the criminal underworld in this area. "Tell me what is your thought on Jaldabaoth?"

The enforcer tensed up for a moment before claiming himself. He had to play his part. "I don't know a thing sir, or madam."

He was soon pulled up by an invisible force and thrown into the wall. The cloak covered figure floated up to him as he got to look into their eyes. They were not amused by his attempt at lying. "I have known from the start that you were a mole to my renegade brother."

He was tossed down to the ground as he tried to look up. A ball of purple, almost ghostly looking, energy formed in front of them. "Tell me what I want to know about Demiurge's little group."

The spy shot a glare towards the figure. He wasn't going to tell him or her anything. "Go to hell!"

The figure lifted up the spy to eye level before slamming the ball of energy into his chest. The spy was sent through the wall landing on the side as the figure floated through the hole formed in the wall. "It's always the hard way," The spy was picked back up and slammed across the walls and ceiling. Several of the objects in the room were tossed right at him. After a few minutes, the spy was pulled back to the rising crime lord. "Are you going to tell me now?"

The beaten and bruised individual looked at him with a glare. He was still deviant to telling anything to him or hero. No matter what they do to him he feared his boss more than he feared the individual in front of him. "Is that all you got?"

The figure dropped him on the ground as they let go with their powers. The spy tried to stand up but fell over as he found out that his leg was broken. "Fine then I guess a more specialized approach is necessary,' The spy looked back as someone else walked in. A creepy smile on his face, "Do whatever you want just keep him alive so he can tell me what I want to know."

The figure floated out of the room as several screams were heard echoing from behind them. After a while, they came to their room and pulled out of the draws a small device. A means to reveal their location to their creator when they had become active. 'Time to meet father.'

A signal beeped on one of All For One's screens. The sound caught the Symbol of Evil's attention as he looked away from his new work. On the screen was a map of the country with a flashing red dot on it. A smirk form on his face as he knew what this meant. "Looks like Subject Twenty has finally revealed himself and in a much more polite way."

So, yeah I guess you can call this chapter more of a slow down compared to the others. Anyway, I wanted to say I would possibly be taken a small break in order to calm myself from my stress and hopefully free myself from a writing block I can feel coming up. Sorry everyone for this news. Still, I could be wrong as I never maintain a true break so we'll see.

Cya all next time. Go Beyond Plus Ultra.
