Review Responses

TheGreatBubbaJ- I'm glad you like Ogumo. It will be a sec until another one arrives.

The Keeper of Worlds - Something like that. I'm slightly changing how blood absorption works at times.

Dante Ouma: I try to make keep up with it. I know we are on break right now and yes, I have a plan around Stain arc on how she discovers her extra ability.

Hellfire45: Spider-sense is OP, but luckily this Izuku doesn't have the same physical fitness as Canon Izuku. Or things would get out of hand. Their levels are close though and this Izuku is reaching that point!

Tiguylerobot: Izuku isn't straight copy people quirks, more like integrate parts of them into his little collection of monster. Now ability copying Izuku was what other Izuku fic was going to be about. Like Seth from SF, but I went off the rails with that one. Good idea though!

Skykitsune: I do love my memes, but I try not to overdo it. You will see more use of them during non-canon arcs.

Shadow the Jedi: I'm glad you liked that fight. I thought might have gone overboard a little with it. Uraraka put a good fight, but this before she went to Gunhead. So she's lacking in the CQC department.

Jdhodson: She will not be because this is not a harem fic. I do have her shipped with Izuku for another fic idea I have, but I'm waiting on a crucial detail to be confirmed about a certain someone in the League.

Derpeon: That is something that will be referenced here and there in the story. Like how Iida called Izukua a troublemaker and possible delinquent in chapter 5.

Vanke: Yes.

FriggleBerry: I will keep her crazy, but not stab crazy.

HighPaladinRin: I love me so Jojo. Trying to get my GF to watch it. And Sato is just the perfect person to reference the show.


(Zone D)

Two students stared each other down after getting out of their former prison. Momo stood proud and tall, with her staff in one hand pointing straight up from the ground. Ojiro was slightly hunched over, with knees bent and fists at chin level. He was coiled like a spring, ready to jump into action at any moment now.

Now how did these two get free from the spider webs? Simple. Momo created a handheld saw to cut them free.

"You know, you could have easily taken me out earlier," Ojiro said.

"This is true, but after the last failure, I believed we both deserved a fair chance at winning," Momo responded.

"Hmph. You didn't have the same tune with Midoriya."

"It's Midoriya. You don't fight fair against him because he sure won't." Ojiro nodded his head in agreement.

The tailed teen sprang into action, using his tail for the opening move. Momo stepped to the side to avoid that attack, slightly surprised when the tail left an imprint in the ground after that attack.

She sent out a cautionary poke with her staff towards his head. He simply ducked underneath it and spun to attack with his tail again.

'His reach is almost as long as mine, but he's faster,' Momo thought to herself, after avoiding the attack, 'I can't fight him in melee combat. I don't have the destructive power of Bakugo, defense of Kirishima, or the speed of Iida to face him. I need to play this smart!'

Ojiro didn't give her time to think, continuing his assault. This time he let out a series of swift punches that had her backpedaling as she blocked the attacks with her staff. He finished the assault with a swing of his tail, the attack sending her flying back even though she blocked the move.

The heiress was forced to roll to the side after she landed on her back, as Ojiro had run over to her and used his tail to do an earth-shattering attack.

"Maybe I should have been the bad guy this time," Momo said aloud.

"I think not. As Heroes, we must uphold some form of integrity if we want to show the public that we can be trusted," Ojiro told her, not moving from his spot, "If they can't trust our actions and words, then they can never trust us with their lives. The sworn duty we take as heroes."

"You really are an honorable person, Ojiro," Momo said as she got up, clenching her sides, "You're going to be a great hero one day."

Ojiro just nodded his head in thanks. He then continued his assault, but this time Momo was ready. The hand that was holding her side lashed out, revealing a stun gun.

The two prongs hit Ojiro's beefy tail, sending shocks through the blonde's body. He fell to the ground as he convulsed from the pain.

"But you have one major flaw. You are willing to fall to underhanded tactics due to your focus on honor," Momo told him as she walked over, "Don't let honor blind you or the villains will take advantage of you."

"I don't feel like this victory was well earned," she said as she ripped off his wristband, "But I couldn't take you on directly. You outclass me in close quarters."


(Zone B)

Todoroki was walking slowly through the forest, alert for any more sneak attacks from Toga. The girl had only sent him a few knives to here and there as passing shots but had never confronted him directly again.

'She's a coward. She knows she cannot defeat you, so she hides in the shadows.'

'I really do not have time for you old man!' The dual haired thought with disdain as he kept walking.

'Boy, you will listen to me! I'm giving you advice on how to become more powerful,' Enji's voice said, 'You will heed my words one day.'

'Never!' The teen argued, 'When I use fire, it will be of my own volition. Not to please you!'

'So, you say…'

Being distracted by this internal argument almost cost Todoroki, as he barely had heard the sounds of Iida's engines. He shot off the ice behind him in panic as the armored teen approached him.

Iida skidded to a stop before the ice could reach him. "As expected of you Todoroki, I should have known you would have heard me coming!"

'I almost didn't,' Todoroki thought.

'I thought I taught you better than boy!'

Todoroki gritted his teeth as he ignored the annoying voice. He needed to focus on his opponent. One that could easily get close to him if he was distracted.

Todoroki placed his hand against the now frozen ground. The ice spread even further, forcing Iida to run back to avoid being a popsicle. 'Now I have the advantage in terrain!'

'You took his movement down by 3. Nice job bro!' Todoroki was now getting concerned that multiple family members' voices were now in his head.

Iida laughed. "Nice try, but this will not stop me or even slow me down!"

The taller teen then proceeded to jump on the ice, body leaning forward slightly and arms raised to the back.

'Bad luck bro. He's got the ice-skating perk, negating the terrain change you made!'

"You see Todoroki-san, I have five years of ice skating experience under my belt," Iida said, as he gracefully skated across the frozen forest. Pissing off Todoroki.

The dual haired teen shoots a barrage of ice at his foe, who deftly dodges it by twirling in the air. This angered Todoroki even more, who believed Iida was toying with him.

But Iida wouldn't do that. The jump and twirl were the most viable way to avoid the attack sent at him. He wasn't showing off. Honest.

"Stop being a ballerina!" Todoroki shouted as Iida avoided another wave of ice.

"This is ice skating, Todoroki!" Iida informed him as he twirled around another attack, "Ballet is an artistic dance form performed to music using precise and highly formalized set steps and gestures! I am merely putting my ice skating experience in the most optimal way to in this unpreceded environment."

"As my brother would say, even the most mundane skills can help in your hero career!" Iida told his foe, as he suddenly blasted forward with the use of his quirk.

Todoroki made a hasty barrier as Iida came towards him. One that Iida easily smashed through, due to barely any loss of speed due to less friction present on the ground.

Todoroki was hit in the chest and sent flying into a nearby tree from the kick Iida had hit him with. He lost his breath when his back collided with the trunk of the tree.

'Really boy? Losing to a second rate hero family. For shame!'

Todoroki nostrils flared as he ducked underneath the next kick Iida sent, the armored teen's shin crushing some of the trunk. He then grabbed one leg and freezing the mufflers. The dual haired teen let go and then sprawled to the ground to avoid the quirk enhanced kick from Iida's free leg.

Iida went flying forward back onto the ice, barely able to keep his balance as he slid forward. He bumped into a tree, with most of the impact absorbed by his armor. Before he could move again, Todoroki sent another wave of ice his way.

Iida was completely frozen, with only his hands and head free. Todoroki then walked over, slightly shivering. "You did well."

"But not well enough!" Iida stated, "But I commend for your skills. Blocking the exhaust pipes of my mufflers was a marvelous idea! A weakness exposed during a training exercise is much better than one exposed during a real scenario. So, I thank you!"

"You're welcome?" Todoroki questioned as he pulled off Iida's wristband. A small convoy of robots appeared out of the woodwork to free poor Iida.


(Outskirts of Zone E)

Shoji was a patient person. A quality only reinforced by his quirk. Making multiple appendages at will usually makes many apprehensive to approach him. He had learned early that when someone seemed interested in talking, it was safer for them to approach him than him to approach them.

That's why after landing, he used his quirk to locate his fellow students. Or adversaries in this case. He had quickly found Mina and Aoyama, duking out west of him. He had found Uraraka east of him, but he didn't feel like chasing her down since she was so far away. And with all crazed laughter he heard later, recognizing it as Toga's, he believed he made the right decision.

Make no mistake, Shoji was no coward. He just chose his battles wisely. He might have naturally more muscle than most of his class, but his quirk didn't have too many combats uses. The best he had was multiplying his arms to increase his strength. But he did not want to be a bruiser. He was intelligent and found his quirk more useful in recon and information gathering. A skill that Japan's hero society overall was lacking. His home had enough fighters.

That's why he decided to head towards Mina after she defeated Aoyama. He didn't see the boy from the location he sensed him at, but he did remember picking up something that sounded mechanical heading that way earlier.

'Must have taken him away already by the time I got there,' the masked teen thought as he kept trailing Mina. She was barely visible right now to him. He could easily catch up though.

'But that would alert her and I would get sprayed with acid,' Shoji thought, 'I'm not good at stealth, unlike Toga or Toru.'

It honestly scared him how stealthy the blonde blood drinker was. One would think the invisible person would be better, but he could sometimes pick up Toru when she was sneaking. Toga? That was no go.

'It's probably because Toru is more reliant on her quirk, unlike Toga,' Shoji hypothesized as he saw Mina stop and scan the area for someone. Luckily he was still in the grass, while she had just got out. He might have to kneel to the ground because of his height, but he was still hidden.

'Or maybe she has a more innate talent in the field than Toru.' Mina was now frowning. Shoji made an extra ear when he saw her mouth began to move.

"...sucks! I can't find anyone!" Mina pouted, "Maybe I should have teamed up with someone before backstabbing them to win this. Two sets of eyes are better than one!"

A dark shadow loomed over her and Mina looked back hesitantly to see her giant classmate's figure ominously darkened. She screamed as she dodged the hammer fist aimed at her.

"The proverb is two heads are better than one," the menacing giant said as he removed his fist from the crack in the ground. He picked a piece of the destroyed ground and chucked it at his pink classmate. "You will do well to remember that."

Mina did some considerable bending to avoid the attack. "What's with you guys throwing rocks at me?"

"It's a man thing. You wouldn't understand," Shoji said as he threw another rock.

Mina dodged this one and prepared to throw acid at her opponent. She wasn't ready for Shoji to rush her with a shield made from the Earth. Her acid dissolved the makeshift shied, with an insignificant amount touching the large teen.

Shoji ignored the slight burning sensation, shoulder tackling Mina. The girl was sent tumbling across the ground, her mask falling off.

She shakily got to her feet as Shoji approached her, his six arms out. He crushed the small mask on the walk towards her before preparing a powerful triple haymaker. He launched three fists towards Mina's smaller figure, believing he was about to defeat her.

One moment he was on the attack and the next Shoji found his two lowest pair of arms clutching his family jewels. Mina had performed a quick side split to avoid his attack and punch him in the gonads. Luckily, with no acid behind it.

Shoji was still reeling from the surprisingly powerful dirty attack when Mina tried to uppercut him. But he still had four other pair of arms to, using one pair to block the attack. He then used the other pair to grab her wrists and picked her up high in the air.

"Let me go, you creep!" Mina yelled, fruitlessly trying to kick Shoji in the chest.

The masked giant ignored the insult, now recovered, sure she was trying to a reaction of him to free herself. "No, I don't think I will."

"Then burn!" Mina started to fling acid from her hands. But since her range of motion was limited, only droplets hit Shoji, barely harming him.

Mina went into full panic mode as Shoji's free hands approached her wristband. "Take this!"

Mina flung her legs up and shot acid out of the soles of her shoes, the acid dissolving through her foe's shirt. Shoji hissed at the pain but soldiered through it. He ripped Mina's wristband and threw her to the side.

He clutched his chest, hearing Mina running hurriedly towards him. He turned to face her; worry etched on her face. "You okay, big guy?"

"Yes, you don't need to worry," he said as he removed his hand.

"You sure? I'm worried a put a little too much oomph into my acid this time," she asked, staring at his reddened skin.

"It burnt at first, but now it is only irritated," Shoji assured her, "It won't get in the way."

The larger teen then left Mina alone in the field, who was still not assured by his words. She had never shot so much off at someone. 'I'm going to make it up to, Shoji.'


(With Izuku)

The ninth successor had entered the deeper parts of the forest on top of Ogumo. The giant spider had kept track of Toru until they reached their current destination. 'Keep your eyes peeled on the canopies, Young Master. She could appear from above and swoop you.'

Izuku nodded. 'Yes, swooping is bad.'

Izuku commanded Ogumo to traverse a tree, to get a better view of the surrounding area. He didn't find his prey, but he did see Todoroki.

'I really don't want to fight him right now,' Izuku grimaced, having Ogumo move to another tree to stay out of the dual haired teen's sight. 'It would be a big waste of time and too much a drag to do so.'

'I agree, Young Master. His power is hard to counter,' Koda supplied, 'We would waste valuable energy with Oni fighting him, as he is the only one right with the pure strength to face the boy.'

'Right,' Izuku agreed, eyeing another classmate he just found, 'It is time to hunt for more suitable prey. I think you will enjoy this one, Koda.'

Izuku pulled out his notebook and began to draw. He then dismissed Ogumo and replacing the spider with Koda. The large snake slithered down the trunk of the tree, heading towards its target.

Asui jumped out of the river for a short break. So far, she had not been spotted by anyone. Which suited her just fine since this was survival exercise. She would take down the last remaining people after they were tired and weak from numerous battles. 'This is the best way.'

The frog girl stared at her reflection in the river, which saved her. She jumped to the side to avoid being devoured by Koda. She then jumped to the opposite bank to put distance between her and the snake.

"You know I consider frogs a delicacy?" Koda hissed questionably, staring eerily at the girl.

Asui croaked in response, jumping high into the air to avoid another dive from Koda. She then used her powerful legs to smash against the head of the snake. Using Koda as a bouncing board, she landed on a tree, clinging to it.

Koda rushed her, his body, curling around the tree to reach her. The girl jumped higher onto another limb to avoid the snapping snake. "You will be devoured."

"How about no?" Asui said finally, glancing around. She saw Izuku scribbling on a piece of paper. Her eyes narrowed; hostile intent directed at her distracted classmate.

Koda tightened his body's grip on the tree trunk, causing it to fall down. Asui was barely able to jump from one tree to another as the tree crashed to the ground. Izuku looked up, biting his thumb and spilling blood over the paper.

A trio of crow-like beings emerged from the paper, heading towards the frog girl. She used her tongue to capture one. She then used her tongue and captured crow as a wrecking ball to hit the other birds. The other two busted into ink, falling onto the downed tree before reforming.

Asui threw the captured bird at Koda, who was heading her way and not slowed by the projectile. She then leapt to the tree Izuku was on, about to attack.

She wasn't ready for Izuku's face to morph into the head of a spider. She almost got caught by the web that spat at her. She had landed on the ground, right before Koda coiled himself around her. "Ribbit."

Izuku jumped down from the branch he was on. Most of the spider's head was still on him, forming a hairy brown glob around his head, but his face was unobstructed from view. He was smirking as he walked towards her.

"Midoriya, that looks creepy on you," Asui said, stopping the boy in his tracks.

"Do I really?" he asked.

Asui nodded. "You like a villain. You should take it off."

"I don't want to come off as scary to the general population," Izuku muttered, as some of the spider's head began to recede. Suddenly he turned around, head fully spider mode again, and spewed a bunch of webs at thin air.

Or what was thin air, as the web laced itself around an obviously feminine figure. "What? How did you know I was there?"

"My spider-sense was tingling," was his answer. The reformed crows began to squawk loudly right before ice then burst through the forest, freezing all three current students.

"I got all of them," the monotonous voice of Todoroki announced. He walked over the now frozen river to his victims.

The ice around Izuku was shattered as the form of Oni formed beside the boy. Todoroki waved his hand for another attack, but the monster slammed his club into the ground. The shaking of the earth made the dual quirk user pause as he tried to keep his balance and swat away the birds nipping at him. He a quick wave of his hands and birds was frozen.

The ice around Koda shattered next, freeing the snake who freed the frog girl. Koda returned back to Izuku, who had a slight nosebleed now. "Damn it Todoroki, I had both of them! Stop kill stealing!"

"But we are not killing people," the ice user responded blankly, shooting off another barrage of ice. Oni grew bigger as his club slammed into the incoming frozen attack.

Todoroki's eyes narrowed on how easily his attack was stopped. 'He couldn't do that to your fire, boy.'

'I'm not one to agree with the old bastard, but I already told you fighting moves beat ice.'

Todoroki was about to attack again, with more vigor, but Oni picking up Izuku and backing away confused him. "Why are you running?"

He saw Izuku look at both of his classmates. Toru was still frozen and Asui was shivering, with her eyes drooping heavily. "Let's take this battle elsewhere. I think that is a good idea. Do you agree?"

'Attack him now! His monster is somewhat limited to his attacks with the damn boy on his shoulders!' Todoroki gritted his teeth, as his hands twitched involuntarily.

Izuku did not take his classmate's silence as a yes. Oni crouched down to his knees as green lightning crackled around it and its master. Todoroki launched another attack just as the giant jumped into the air, the ground shattering even more beneath its feet.

Todoroki looked in the direction and destruction of the canopy the monster had caused, figuring out which way they might land. He then glanced back at his classmates. Toru was still frozen and Asui had fallen asleep.

'The robots will take care of them,' Todoroki thought, with a hint of guilt.


(Nearby)

Momo was jogging towards the commotion she had heard and seen earlier. The loud booming noises and ice appearing let her know who and where a battle was going on. 'Todoroki is definitely there, but I wonder if he is fighting Bakugo or Midoriya? Those two are one of the few with the necessary brawn to directly fight Endeavor's son.'

The sounds of explosions coming from behind at an alarming speed coming from her right caused her to drop down to the ground from what she saw. Bakugo was heading straight towards her with his Turbo Burst. Her ducking allowed her to avoid the clothesline he had attempted.

Using his explosions and the ground to stop himself, the blonde smiled deviously at his vice president. "Found you, Ponytail."

Momo quickly got up, pointing her staff at the blonde. He was hunched over, at half his height, a somewhat crazed grin on his face. He then bolted towards her.

The heiress swung at the speeding bomber, who swatted her bo staff away with his gauntlets. He then blasted her at point-blank range, sending the girl skidding back a few feet.

He growled when he saw she had made a circular shield to protect herself, which was now almost completely black. He launched forward for another attack, but she ducked underneath him. She hit him the stomach with her shield, making him fly backward.

Katsuki regained control of his flight by a set of explosions, just as he was lobbed across the head. Courtesy of Momo's shield.

The piece of armor had bounced back towards Momo, who jumped to grab it. She had a smile on her face. "Come Bakugo, I can do this all day."

Bakugo stared at her as she faced him confidently. "Did you just fucking Captain America me?"

The female's eyebrows scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. "I do not know this Pro Hero."

"You lack culture!" Momo took a step back, highly offended.

"I have explored much of the world with my parents and learned much about different cultures during my travels," Momo announced her head high in the air.

"Who cares! If you don't shit about the Marvel and DC, and you're in the hero gig," he fired back, "Then you got no culture."

Momo wanted to argue but had to defend herself from Bakugo's assault. She found herself back on the defensive as she blocked explosion after explosion. 'Good thing I made this out impact resistance materials or else this thing would have been destroyed already!'

She created a sword after one nasty blow that almost hit her. She swiped at Bakugo, forcing him to jump back. Her shield at the front and her sword at ready, she charged.

Bakugo ducked under the first swipe and then rolled back to avoid getting smacked in the face by the shield. He sidestepped a lunge and used his bracers to soften the blow from a shield bash. 'Fuck this shit. I'm not some defensive bitch!'

When Momo made a vertical slash at Bakugo again, he raised his grenade gauntlets to defend himself. The blade was stopped and found itself stuck in the crevices of the gauntlet. The blonde then launched an explosion at Momo as he ripped the sword from her grip.

Momo was pushed back from the blocked attack. She was about to create another sword when she saw Bakugo flying towards her again. She raised her shield to defend herself, but her eyes widened when she saw him launch himself above her. 'No! He's about to do the same thing to me as he did Ojiro!'

She was too slow to turn around and got blasted in the back. It was a powerful one, sending her crashing into the ground. She turned on her back as Bakugo pounced on her, using the shield to block his hands from grabbing her wrists.

Bakugo let out a series of explosions at the metal object. Momo felt her arms struggle to hold up the shield. Bkaugo slammed both his hands down, shattering the shield. With victory assured, he reached for the wristband. Only to get smacked across the face with a hastily made club.

He looked back down at Momo with a bloody mouth, spitting blood at her face as he grabbed her wrist. He then headbutted her, almost knocking her unconscious.

His hand was now covering her face as she let go of the club. "Don't fucking move!"

He then ripped her wristband gleefully. He got off her. "You put up a decent fight, better than most of the extras in our class."

He was about to soar odd in the distance, but he looked back at his fallen foe. Her nose was bleeding and she was obviously knocked out. He rolled her on her side. 'I'm only doing this so your ass doesn't fucking choke on your damn blood or spit.'

Now satisfied, he headed towards his original destination. 'Half and Half, your ass is mine.'


(Shoji)

The multi-armed boy had been on high alert for the last few minutes. Especially after all the noise coming from the forest. He kept an extra pair of ears out to hopefully detect Toru or Toga. He didn't need the two stealth users sneaking upon him in his damaged state.

'Ashido's last attack really did a number on me,' the masked teen thought, 'But I can't let this keep me down. I will face worse on the streets.'

One of his tentacle ears perked up at a distant sound. "FuFuFu, looks who's all alone."

"Toga," Shoji said as he stopped, recognizing the hint of bloodthirst in her tone.

"And you're already hurt," the voice was getting closer, "This will be easy."

Shoji swung his right arm backward. Toga rolled underneath the attack, getting a light cut across his exposed abdomen. He retaliated with a punch, but the blonde skipped away.

Toga licked the blood off her knife, smacking her lips afterward. "Reminds me of sashimi."

Shoji was unaffected, unlike many others. He had seen worse in some of the books and novels he had read, ones that Fumikage had also seen. "Please don't start with the squid and octopus jokes."

The blood drinker tilted her head. "Huh? Your blood got the sweet flavor of squid, unlike octopus which is kind of bland. I thought you would taste like octopus though."

Toga found herself jumping back to avoid an impressively fast attack from her opponent. "Whoa! I thought you would be slow!"

"Maybe people think that too," Shoji said as he faced her, "Your first attack was lucky. You won't get another strike like that in."

Toga's body shivered as she felt invigorated by the new blood in her. "We will see, squid boy!"

She lunged at Shoji, who tried to intercept her trajectory with a powerful punch. In a display of skilled acrobatics, Toga used her free hand to push off one of duplicated arms, twirling above his attack. She aimed at kick at his hand, which he blocked.

She then threw her knife at his arm as she flew over him, which he caught by making another hand to catch it. When she landed, she threw out another pair of knives, with Shoji jumping out of the way.

"You're annoying," she said with a frown, before throwing out her smoke pellets. A cloud of smoke surrounded the masked teen.

"You know this won't help you, right," Shoji said, as heard traces of footsteps around him. "I can still hear you. And plus…"

Shoji swung his arms, creating small gusts of wind. "I can get rid of this!"

He heard the whizzing of knives flying through the air as he dispersed the fog behind him. A strong burst of wind sent them clattering to the ground when they got close enough.

He saw Toga approaching him again, one her fists clenched and a knife in the other. She aimed a sliced at his nearest arm, forcing him to pull it back. Just like she wanted.

Shoji felt fear creep in him at Toga's grin, canines out and her yellow eyes widened to the maximum. She threw whatever she had in her other hand at his face. When he blocked it with his other arm, green gas escaped, making his eyes water. And he would have started to cough if not for his mask.

He then felt his wristband being ripped off. His eyes, red and watery, widened in shock. "Tear gas, you like it?"

"Dirty move," he said as he sat down. The tear gas wasn't burning like Ashido's acid, more irritating than anything.

"Hey! I have to even the playing field. You had the strength, speed, and senses to counter me!" Toga explained, "Well, toot a loo. I got more victims to find!"

'What is wrong with that girl,' Shoji thought as robots approached him, with bottles of water and burn cream.


Sorry for the wait. Got distracted with other fandoms and real life. One more chapter and this shall be over. And then back to canon!
