...What about Zero?

Did he really wanted to help him out?

Or he wanted to see how his life would fare, personally?

If you really want a quirk... maybe jump off a building, and hope your life turns out to be better next time.

Endless pessimistic thoughts like that demolished the young mind of Izuku...

...As he took another step foward, closing his eyes...

[I won't let you die]

His eyes immediately shot wide open, now bright red.

[All right, even if you commited suicide... Ever thought about what would happen to your mother?]

'She... she wouldn't need... to take care of a burden like me...'

[Wrong. The first thing she would do is start doubting herself, thinking what she did wrong...]

'...' Tears started to form from his eyes.

[She would grieve, thinking where she went wrong wirh her parenting... Do you really want to make her sad?]

'No...'

[Do you really think Mr. All Might would want to waste ten months of life, trying to personally make you give up on your dream? I thought you were better than this, Izuku...]

'No...'

[Do you really think Uraraka-san was interested in only the suit... or hoping to find a better person than you inside...?]

'I...'

[What would she do, if you committed suicide?]

'I...'

[Deku sounds like a good nickname.]

'I... don't know...'

[She would cry her heart out, thinking what she said wrong, that caused you to do something like this?]

'No... I...'

[Suicide does not end the suffering, Izuku. All it does... is pass it on to someone else.]

[I've seen what it can do... for myself. Please...]

[You're not a quirkless Deku anymore. You may have wanted to become a hero without a quirk... But in my eyes...]

[You already are a hero, Izuku.]

Izuku crashed onto the ground in the alleyway behind, kicking up nearby dust from the impact...

When it cleared up, there was a small crater, and in the middle of which...

Izuku stood, unscathed, with red eyes, his hair now standing up slightly, and his body giving off a faint light-green aura.

He remained silent for a moment.

[The 'imprint' in your body has answered the call of the sudden outburst of emotions, making it change your body even more than before...]

[It has made you... super-no, Mega powerful... You're not a quirkless deku anymore...]

[You have been reborn... as a Mega Powered Deku... The Mega Man Deku!]

"Thank you... Zero. You saved my life... and that of my loved ones as well..." Izuku spoke, with a sincere look, wiping his tears.

[Now, first things first... Uraraka-san has something to say to you.] Izuku turned his head around to see Uraraka looking for him.

His eyes turned back to red, his hair wws no longer standing, and the green aura subsided as well.

Finally, she spotted him in the middle of...

"A... crater...?" Ochaco realised what it meant...

"Uraraka-san..."

"I... I'm sorry, Midoriya-kun. It wasn't until I heard the full story from Zero... that I found out I... I..." Uraraka broke into her tears, as she lowered her head, unable to see him in the eye.

"Uraraka-san..." Izuku lowered his head in guilt

The guilt of making someone like her cry...

"Why... Why is it that thing like this always happen to the nicest people in this world!" She exclaimed, in frustration.

Izuku had been through so much...

He was quirkless his whole life... and the other kids made it hell for him...

She just wanted... to pull him in a tight hug...

A tight hug to show... that it's not just him on his own out there... that he didn't have to suffer on his own... that there were people out there to help him out... in any way they could...

And she didn't hesitate...

There was no reason for her to hesitate...

Ochaco immediately pulled Izuku in for a hug, making Izuku lose his control over his emotions... as he cried his heart out

A few moments of silence followed after Izuku was done...

"You know... You never let me finish back at the cafe..."

"I... I liked the nickname because it kinda reminded me of the word 'dekiru', you know, 'You can do it!' for japanese" She said as she tightened her hug.

His nickname... associated with his uselessness... was actually meaning something good now!?

Izuku's eyes widened at what he just heard, as he looked up to see Ochaco in tears...

"I... I'm such an idiot for not hearing you out..." Izuku answered.

"And... and it's my fault... for speaking my mind... without paying attention to the wording..." Ochaco said as she wiped her tears.

"I... I think I'm starting to like it as well." Izuku spoke, as her head shot up from the response.

"Th-then... can... can I call you Deku...?" Ochaco asked, now looking him in the eye.

"I don't mind... Especially after you made it special... for me..." Izuku replied.

"Th-then... Are you feeling better, Deku-kun?"

"Yeah... Thank you so much, Uraraka-san"

[See? Even she likes the nickname now.] Zero spoke, startling the two, and bringing them back to the reality. they then proceeded to look at each other, noticing the awkward... position they were in now.

The two of them immediately separated from each other, as they both turned their heads to the side, blushing uncontrollably

[Damn it, Zero. You just had to ruin it.] Leviathan commented

The awkward moment was shortlived, as the four immediately heard an explosion going off in ths distance.

"What was that?!" Uraraka exclaimed

"Let's go find out" Izuku replied, as they nodded at each other, and headed towards the general direction of the smoke coming out.

-z-z-z--Z--z-z-z-

Within a small building ablaze with fire, two figures could bee seen standing apart from each other...

"Darn... he's fast" A certain green armored figure exclaimed as he stood a few meters apart, panting heavily, with two pink, short energy sabers in each hand.

The one who stood his ground in front of him was none other than...

A certain small white-and-red reploid based off of the hindu monkey god 'Hanuman', holding a red battle rod with golden ends behind him in his battle stance.

"Hanumachine Z..." The green armored fellow mumbled

-z-z-z--Z--z-z-z-

Izuku and Ochaco finally made it to the building on fire, with a crowd already before it.

Izuku walked up to one of the bystanders, and asked "Excuse me, sir. What happened here?"

Immediately, they heard an elderly woman scream

"SOMEBODY HELP!! MY SON KAMINARI IS IN THERE!!" The woman screamed, being held forcefully by his neghbours to keep her from going inside due to the dangers within the place being an burning inferno...

Izuku and Ochaco nodded at each other, as they ran into an nearby alley, where no one could see them, as they MegaMerged into their body armor.

But this time, something was different.

"Deku-kun!? What's with that long blonde hair?" Ochaco asked, puzzled, promption Izuku to take a look at what she meant.

Noticing the long blond hair protruding oht of his helmet, Izuku squeaked in response.

"Z-Zero!? What is this?!" Izuku asked, shocked to see the blond hair, considering his was green.

[Uhhh... We're more compatible with each other in this form, now.] Zero replied, hesitating a bit

Yesterday...

[Zero... I miss your long beautiful blonde hair... you know?] Leviathan confessed as the two chatted online, discussing where to meet up.

[You do?]

[You used to look pretty cool with it... Even when we fought against each other back then...]

Now back to the present!

"Suuuureee" Izuku said, noticing the hesitation as he looked at the red crystal on top of Ochaco's helmet, trying to look at Leviathan.

"Lets go." Ochaco reminded, as the two left the alleyway.

Izuku noticed a small 'handle-like' object on his utility belt, as they ran back to the flaming apartment building.

-z-z-z--Z--z-z-z-

Kaminari was having a hard time keeping up with Hanumachine, as the monkey reploid sent blows after blows towards him, and he would either parry them with his blades, or evade them, by millimeters.

Hanumachine finally got an opening, which he didn't waste, as he punched Kaminari in the gut, before sending him flying with his battle rod, both ends on fire.

Seeing him stuck to the wall due to the impact, the reploid came after him, deciding to deal the decisive blow.

'Just you wait... I'll fry your circuits!!' Kaminari thought as he decided to discharge his electricity the moment Hanumachine got too close.

(Name: Kaminari Denki

Quirk:Thunder

He can shoot electricity from his hands, or discharge it from his whole body, however, if he goes beyond his wattage limit, his mind short-citcuits, and he turns into an idiot holding his thumbs up all the time, for one hour!)

But his secret counterattack was ruined, before the monkey could close the distance, he leapt out of the way of an incoming wave of Ice.

Kaminari turned his head over to see a certain blue armored girl, holding a halberd in her hands in a battle stance.

And alongside her... was a certain red armored, blond haired fellow, holding a green-coloured triangle shaped energy-saber similar to his own short ones.

"What the..." Kaminari trailed off. seeing the two by the door of the flaming room they were in.

Seeing he was heavily outnumbered, Hanumachine immediately made a run for the exit.

But he wasn't quick enough.

Izuku appeared in front of him, as he swung the Z-saber at him, cutting off his body in half, so fast that it would be impossible to see with the naked eye.

'So fast...' Kaninari thought

Hanumachine didn't make any voice, let alone scream in agony, as he exploded due to his power core cut in half.

A blinding light followed with the explosion, and after it subsided, the only salvageable part of Hanumachine Z's body... was a certain orange coloured chip.

Izuku picked up the chip, deciding to analyse it later.

"Anyone in there!?" They heard sounds of someone extinguishing fire

"It's Backdraft! We can't let 'em see us like this!" Kaminari, now back on his feet, exclaimed.

[We shall continue our talk someday.] Harpuia spoke, as the three left the scene, separating immediately after.

A few moments later, black mist appeared, engulfing the body of Hanumachine, and disappeared along with it.

"Huh...? I could've sworn I heard something around here..." Backdraft opened the door... only to find nothing.

Author's Notes:

I'm... really sorry for the last chapter...

Also, this chapter was a bit rushed. No excuses.

By the way, I just did some cosmetic changes to, like all of the chapters of this fanfic.
