The arena around him was completely destroyed, buildings collapsed and broken with pieces of debris flung around. Bits of street signs were stabbed into the ground like knives, bits of blood visibly at the tips of them if one were to look closely.

Toshinori laid on his knees, bits of his costume torn and ripped apart. Blood began to drip down his chin as he desperately tried to hang onto to what little strength he had left.

'' Is that it? ''

Toshinori slowly lifted his head, his gaze falling onto the figure before him. The man before him didn't have a single scratch on him, not a hair out of place compared to Toshinori's tattered form. His hands were on his hips as he gazed down at Toshinori, his head held high. Behind him, his gold colored stand stared down at Toshinori with a façade expression.

'' D…Dio…'' Toshinori muttered, pure malice dripping from his tone as he glared at the man in front of him. It's been a while since Toshinori had ever saw Dio Brando again, and yet his appearance didn't change at all from their U.A. days.

Of course, becoming a vampire would keep him from aging.

Dio smirked down at him, a chuckle escaping his lips. '' After all these years, Toshinori…you're still as weak as you were before. Truly, I don't know what Jojo ever saw in you—''

'' Shut up, don't you dare say his name! '' Toshinori shouted, '' don't you ever speak about Jonathan! ''

Dio didn't respond, and for a moment Toshinori could swear his grin looked even more smug. Dio clicked his tongue, turning his back to Toshinori. As he turned away from him Toshinori could see the pink colored scar around his neck, as well as the pink star-shaped birthmark over his shoulder.

Jonathan's birthmark.

Just the thought of such a cruel man like Dio having Jonathan's body made his blood boil in rage. Dio just couldn't succeed in just killing him, no, he had to take his best friend's body just to rub it in. He could have picked any other person's body, but he just had to pick Jonathan.

'' Hear me, Toshinori Yagi.'' Dio spoke, '' Not only would killing you in your weaken state would be useless, but I would be taking the opportunity from a friend of mine.''

'' I will let you walk away from this battle alive, but know this…'' Dio said, '' the next time you'll see me, one of us won't be leaving alive.''

With that being said, Dio began to walk away from him without another word. Toshinori stared at him, silently watching him leave the destroyed arena. Toshinori pondered about attacking him with his back turn, delivering one last Detroit Smash while he wasn't paying attention. But Toshinori knew Dio would expect him, hell he would probably welcome it just to have a chance to smugly state how he couldn't defeat him no matter how many tricks he pulled.

Toshinori just had to accept that Dio Brando not only defeated him, but defeated him without a single scratch on him.

Toshinori just kept quiet, his gaze falling onto the ground. Toshinori slowly fell to the ground, completely exhausted.

All Might, was defeated.

When the three of them finally reached the villain, the scene became much worse than they thought.

Patches of fire everywhere, broken debris thrown about, bystanders standing back in horror, and a few pro heroes surrounding the sludge creature. The creature stood in the middle of the street, surrounded by pro heroes as it trashed around and attempted to knock them away. From the middle of the creature, angry screams were heard as a bob of blonde hair was seen thrashing around in the creature's grasp.

Katsuki kicked and screamed, trying desperately to forcibly pry himself away from the creature but to no avail. He tried to use an explosion to get it to release him, but the creature's liquid body merely absorbed the blast. There was no way he could get himself free on his own, and the sludge monster knew that as it's large wide teeth formed a cruel smile. In a way all of Katsuki's protest was making the situation much worse than it needed to be, a few of his stray explosions hitting pieces of debris and causing even more fires.

'' I just hit the jackpot! '' It rasped, '' I'll take your body and get revenge on him! ''.

One of the pro heroes, a masked wearing man that worked close with Death Arms, attempted to surprise it with a sneak attack only for the creature to turn his gaze to him. A gooey hand shot out of its body, slamming down onto the concrete and just barely missing the two pro heroes.

'' It's no use, there's no one that can take care of this scene right now! All we can do is wait for someone with a more suitable quirk. '' Shouted one of the heroes, gritting their teeth together as they stared down the sludge monster. With no clear way to get Katsuki out of the villain's grasp safely and the other heroes trying to get rid of the fires and move people to safety, it was utter chaos.

Behind the crowd, Toshinori Yagi, better known to the public eye as All Might, rushed towards the scene. He clenched his side, taking in deep breaths as he tried to make sense of the situation.

It was back then? He thought, instantly recognizing the sludge monster as the same one underneath the bridge with the two boys. I was too distracted by my time limit! I can't believe I made a mistake like this after admonishing that fan…

Pathetic… Toshinori thought, his fingers clenching the side of his shirt that covered his injury. Weak…

'' Aerosmith! ''

There was a bright flash before the sludge monster suddenly screamed, blood squirting out of its right eye. Toshinori paused, his eyes widen in disbelief as he saw three boys suddenly rush towards the monster.

What in the…? It's those two boys from the rooftop, those two siblings! Toshinori thought, watching in bewilderment. I don't recognize that blonde kid…what are they doing!?

With the creature distracted, Izuku instantly rushed forward to grab Katsuki out of the creature's grasp. '' Meddle! ''

In an instant Meddle appeared by his side, floating over his shoulder. The percentage '' 89% '' appeared in its eyes as it sent out a solution Izuku could use, Izuku wasting no time to act on it.

'' Take…this! '' Izuku shouted, picking up pieces of falling debris and chunking it at the creature's face. Narancia did the same with Aerosmith, shooting directly at the creature's face.

Katsuki turned his gaze to the three teenagers, staring at them in bewilderment. '' W-What in the!? Deku, Runt…who the hell is this doughnut haired kid!? ''

'' It's Giorno…'' Giorno muttered, rolling his eyes before he reached out to grab Katsuki out of the creature. With the creature distracted by Narancia and Izuku he wasn't keeping a good grip on Katsuki, Giorno managing to pull out most of his torso.

Before Giorno could yank him away a slimy hand grabbed the front of his collar, yanking him towards the sludge mass.

'' Why don't you join your friend here? '' It rasped, Giorno attempting to pull himself away. Giorno grunted, his collar being pulled down slightly as he struggled to escape the creature's grasp.

'' Giorno! Hold on! '' Izuku said, noticing Giorno being pulled into the creature.

'' Midoriya, stay away! '' Giorno shouted, '' you'll just get trapped in it too! ''

Izuku didn't respond, in fact Giorno wasn't even sure if Izuku was listening. With adrenaline running through his entire body, Izuku desperately tried to claw off the sludge monster from the two blonde teens.

'' You looked like you were asking for help, '' Izuku muttered, '' I can't leave you behind! ''

'' What are they doing!? They'll die in vain! '' Death Arms shouted, instantly rushing towards him with the other heroes following after him. Just as they were about to reach them—

Bang!

The sludge monster was sent flying back, a flash of red slamming into it before a sudden of flood of what erupted. Giorno and Katsuki were yanked out of the creature by Izuku, who managing to get hit with some of the water but not enough to send him flying like the sludge monster.

Narancia stood by what was once a fire hydrant, water pouring out from the hole where it once was. Aerosmith hovered over his shoulder, Narancia crossing his hands behind his head. '' Learned this trick from a…' friend '.''

The sludge monster thrashed around, spitting out the fire hydrant out of its body and onto the ground. Its gaze fell onto the pro heroes and the three teens, his gaze flickering between each of them.

'' D...Dammit! '' The creature shouted, a slimy hand appearing from its body and rushing towards the pro heroes. The pro heroes were quick to dodge it, but the slime monster quickly began to rush down the street to escape.

'' Dammit...he's getting away! '' Shouted Death Arms.

'' No, he isn't...'' Giorno muttered, staring down the sludge monster as he ran past the citizens. Giorno's gaze flickered onto the ground, seeing an empty bottle laying on the corner of the street.

The creature huffed, its eyes darting around as it desperately attempted to find a body to escape in.

'' Come on...come on...! ''

The monster paused, its eyes darting towards a gray cat that slowly began to approach him. The cat stared at him, its tails swaying to the side as it prowled closer to him.

'' There! There it is! '' The monster shouted, '' It's just small enough that no one will notice! Perfect! ''

The creature lunged towards the cat, its dark green colored tentacles reaching out to grab it. The creature slammed wickedly as its tentacles slammed into the gray-colored cat-

And in that instant, the monster froze. The monster's eyes widen, staring down at the creature in shock.

Then he screamed.

The creature collapsed, a pained scream escaping his lungs and filling the arena. Giorno casually approached the fallen sludge monster, reaching out towards the cat.

'' Any damage done towards any life Gold Experience creates is sent back onto whatever attacked it, '' Giorno said. The cat slowly began to morph back into a bottle, the same one the sludge monster was forced into.

'' It appears you aren't as strong as you appear, the attack wasn't lethal,'' Giorno said, tossing the bottle in the air before catching it.

'' You...You...'' The sludge monster growled, lunging towards him.

'' Goddamn brat! ''

In an instant Gold Experience shot forward, grabbing the creature by the throat. Gold Experience took the bottle out of Giorno's hand and in one swift motion, preceding to forcibly shove it back inside of the bottle. The creature screamed and trashed around, but it was unable to escape its grasp.

Once Gold Experience tightly screwed the bottle cap back on, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Giorno reached out, catching the bottle before it could even hit the ground.

'' Useless, '' Giorno muttered, '' Totally useless.''

As the pro heroes began to scold the three teens for their recklessness, Toshinori stood back in silence. He stared at the group of teens, his gaze falling from Izuku to Giorno.

That boy...that boy with the golden hair... Toshinori thought, there's something about him...

Toshinori's eyes suddenly fell onto his shoulder and in that split second his eyes with wide in shock. His eyes fell on the pink star-shaped birthmark visible on Giorno's shoulder.

It looked exactly like Jonathan's birthmark.

'' That birthmark...it can't be...'' Toshinori muttered, '' No...That birthmark is definitely real...''

'' This kid...is a Joestar. ''

X-X

'' And then Giorno grabbed the sludge monster and shoved it into a bottle! ''

'' Sounds like you three managed to defeat a villain together, '' Bruno said, listening to Narancia recall the events that just happened. They had with back to the restaurant, the rest of them waiting outside for them. Giorno and Izuku's clothes were completely soaked in water, minus Narancia who was away from the blast.

Abbachio frowned, '' you three acted recklessly, you're lucky to even be alive right now.''

'' It wasn't that bad, chill out.'' Narancia protested.

'' Midoriya, what were you doing rushing in like that? '' Abbachio said, his gaze flickering onto to Izuku. '' Your stand gives you the best solutions to any outcome, yet you didn't use it then? ''

'' Well I…'' Izuku shuddered, trying to come up with the right words to say only to shudder. '' I-I just…I was running on adrenaline.''

Izuku sighed, '' Now that you mentioned it, I wasn't really as big of a help as I thought. I didn't do much compared to Giorno and Orenji.''

'' Well, that wasn't the best situation for your stand.'' Giorno said, '' There's no such thing as a bad stand, and your Meddle isn't a bad stand at all.''

'' You! You there! The boy with the ladybug emblems! ''

Giorno paused, turning his head to see someone running towards him. Izuku and Narancia instantly recognized him as All Might but completely depowered, and in that moment Narancia scowled.

'' What does he want now? '' Narancia questioned.

'' Wait, who is that? '' Fugo questioned.

'' It's a…long story.'' Izuku said, frowning lightly. '' A…very unpleasant one.''

'' I think he's talking to Giorno...? '' Mista said.

'' You! '' Toshinori said, pointing towards Giorno. '' That birthmark, that birthmark on your neck...you're a member of the Joestar Bloodline!? ''

'' Joestar? '' Narancia repeated, recognizing the name from when Haruto was talking to him about pro heroes with stands.

'' That's that family of stand users, isn't it? '' Mista questioned.

'' That's correct, '' Giorno said, nodding his head. Truth be told Giorno barely knew anything about his heritage, he knew about a lot about the Brando Family but he couldn't say the same from the Joestar family. The most he ever knew was about Jonathan Joestar, his biological father.

The thought of trying to reconcile with his family bloodline was pondered, but Giorno soon dropped the idea. It wasn't like he didn't want to meet them, but with him being related to a rather...unwelcome member of the family Giorno doubted they'll welcome him with open arms.

'' To answer your question, you are correct,'' Giorno said, pushing his collar down slightly to reveal the pink birthmark on his collarbone.

Toshinori's eyes widen in disbelief, he had been keeping in contact with the Joestar family for years, how could he have missed him? Now that he thought about it, he didn't really remember Jotaro or Joseph mentioning a boy with blonde hair.

That hair... Toshinori thought, narrowing his eyes in Giorno's direction. He pondered to himself for a moment before his eyes widen in shock, ''W-Wait a moment, you can't be—''

''You're correct, sir.'' Giorno interrupted, already figuring out what he was going to say. '' Sorry to disappoint you.''

Toshinori just stood there, his mouth hung open in shock. Everyone else seemingly stared at the two of them, completely confused at what was going on.

'' Um…Giorno, what's he talking about? '' Izuku questioned.

'' It's something I wanted to keep secret, '' Giorno said, his gaze flickering back onto Toshinori. '' However, it seems that's no longer possible now that it's been brought up.''

Toshinori frowned, letting out a tired sigh. '' I apologize, I didn't mean to bring this up so carelessly.''

'' Please, let me take you all out to dinner.'' Toshinori said, bowing his head. '' It's the least I can do for you all.''

'' Oh no, we couldn't possibly accept that—''

'' Hold on a second, you're paying right? '' Mista questioned.

'' Yes.''

'' Prefect! Alright let's go! ''

'' W-Wait a second—''

Mista quickly marched forward, the rest of them following after him. Izuku sighed, shaking his head before he began to follow the group.

X-X

Toshinori had offered to take the group to a local restaurant, one that wasn't as overly fancy as the one Bruno preferred but just as good. Toshinori had told him that they could order anything they wanted, considering the fact that he would be paying for all of them…

A fact he instantly regretted once the table had slowly became filled with all kinds of food and deserts. For a moment Toshinori pondered that they were ordering all of this to either spite him in some matter or just because they could—

It could have been either one as far as he knew.

Once the group had finished eating and Toshinori (painfully) had to pay for the bill, everyone had met up outside. Izuku stood with Narancia by his side, Giorno eyeing Toshinori who stood away from the group of teens.

'' So you're actually All Might? '' Giorno questioned, gazing at Toshinori with an interested expression.

'' Yes, I know it might seem obvious at first.'' Toshinori explained, '' after suffering an injury from a fight with a villain, it severely weakened me.''

It was silent once more, everyone staring at Toshinori. Izuku barely spoke, finding the entire situation extremely awkward. The atmosphere felt…tense, like there was something there one of them wasn't addressing.

'' Mr. Yagi, what's your relation to my family's bloodline? '' Giorno questioned, instantly breaking the silence and catching Toshinori's attention. '' I don't mean to come off as harsh, but I feel like you might know something…''

Toshinori was silent for a few moments before he cleared his throat, '' I apologize, I meant to explain this to you.''

'' It's a bit difficult to explain, but it all starts with my quirk.'' Toshinori began, '' my quirk is known as One for All, a stockpiling quirk that is able to be passed on from user to user. Currently, I am the eight welder of it.''

'' The Joestar Bloodline and the users of One for All have been allies for years.'' Toshinori explained, '' You see, we both have two common enemies we're after. For me, it's All for One, the number 1 ranked villain in the world, and for the Joestar's its-''

'' Dio Brando.'' Giorno interrupted, staring at Toshinori with an unreadable expression.

'' Yes, your father,'' Toshinori said, '' After my battle with All for One, I thought he was dead from his injuries. However, Dio managed to get to him before he could succumb to his wounds. Since then, they've been working together.''

'' Dio and his followers, they're the cause for the sudden increase in villain stand users.'' Toshinori explained, '' Some of them are able to not succumb to his evil, but that's only a hand full.''

'' It's been a problem for heroes to deal with these sudden stand users, '' Toshinori said, '' I've been going up against them for years now so I'm able to defeat them easier, but the rest aren't as lucky. Just last week, the pro hero Miriko was nearly killed by a stand user.''.

'' I was wondering, are any of you planning on becoming pro heroes? '' Toshinori questioned.

'' I am! '' Narancia said proudly.

'' Of course, my uncle is Edge Shot you know,'' Mista said.

'' Maybe, '' Trish said, '' A couple of my friends at school plan on going, they really want me to try to enter the exams with them.''

'' It sounds nice, but I'm still thinking about it,'' Bruno said.

''...I'm on the fence,'' Fugo answered.

'' Same here, '' Abbachio said.

'' To be honest, I'm not that sure either,'' Giorno said.

'' You all have pure hearts, I can tell by the look in your eyes,'' Toshinori said, '' For the few of you who are on the fence about it, I suggest giving it a try. ''

'' Especially you, Fugo,'' Toshinori said, turning towards him. '' You sound like you're uncertain, it doesn't hurt to try you know.''

Fugo paused, his gaze flickering onto Toshinori. He was silent, his gaze completely unreadable before he cleared his throat. '' Perhaps I'll take your advice.''

'' But to be honest, there's another reason why I wanted to meet you all.'' Toshinori began, ''…Izuku Midoriya, was it? ''

Izuku suddenly jolted upright, his gaze flickering onto Toshinori. '' W…What? Me? ''

'' Yes, you.'' Toshinori said, '' for years I've been searching for the right person, the right person to give my power to…''

'' That person is you.''

'' Izuku Midoriya, I need you to inherit my power.''

In that moment it felt like time had just stopped, and Izuku froze. The others had turned towards him, staring between him and Toshinori with looks of both interest and confusion. '' I…Inherit…your power? ''

'' What's with that face? It's just a suggestion, the real show starts after this.'' Toshinori explained, stepping towards Izuku. '' Listen, young man. You need to decide whether or not you will accept my powers.''

'' I'm sorry, I'm not really following.'' Izuku said, '' W-What are you saying? ''

Toshinori sighed, '' I'm talking about my power, young man. I need to know if you're willing to take One for All and become the ninth user.''

Izuku was silent, his gaze flickering from onto everyone us. He turned his head to them, as if he was looking for their approval. Most of their expressions were completely unreadable, including Mista who just looked confused. He gaze finally landed on Narancia, who slowly smiled back at him and nodded.

'' Meddle…how about you? '' Izuku said, his stand appearing over his shoulder. Meddle floated in front of Izuku's face, letting out a faint humming noise.

'' I'll do it! '' Izuku shouted, instantly turning to face Toshinori. '' I'll inherit your power! ''

Toshinori was silent for a few moments, staring back at Izuku. Toshinori finally smiled, a faint chuckle escaping his lips. '' An immediate answer, just as I expected.''

'' Understand that this isn't going to be easy, '' Toshinori explained, '' It takes a while to completely master One For All, for some it even took them years, but I have faith in you. You have the drive of a true hero Midoriya, I can tell.''

'' And Giorno.''

Giorno blinked, slowly turning his head to face Toshinori. Toshinori stared back at him, and for a moment Giorno could swear he had a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

'' I can tell you're different from your father, in fact, I know you are.'' Toshinori began, '' When you with up against that sludge monster you held back, you could have easily killed him but you didn't.''

'' You're a kind young man, Giorno.'' Toshinori said, '' I can see you have a great future ahead of you.''

Giorno opened his mouth to reply, only to slowly close it. He stared back at Toshinori, an unreadable expression in his eyes. Finally, Giorno nodded his head. '' Thank you.''

With those final words, Toshinori turned away from the group and began to walk away. The group walked him leave, none of them talking for a moment until Narancia spoke up.

'' So uh...Giorno, about that stuff about your dad...'' Narancia began hesitantly.

'' That's...not important right now.'' Giorno said, '' My father doesn't want anything to do with me anymore, however, if anything happens you all won't be affected.''

That's kind of worrying Narancia thought, frowning lightly though he didn't push the topic any further.

'' Well then, looks like today's your lucky day.'' Bruno said, turning to Izuku. '' Midoriya, how are you feeling? ''

''…''

''…''

''…Midoriya? ''

Bruno raised an eyebrow, slowly walking towards Izuku. Bruno tapped him on the head, staring at him curiously. '' Are you…alive? ''

Izuku suddenly collapsed onto the ground, causing Narancia to let out an annoyed sigh. '' Midoriya, you can't keep fainting whenever something cool happens to you! Come on! ''

'' It's only been a day and I just got 2 new abilities...'' Izuku muttered, staring up at the sky. '' How did this even happen? ''

'' Oh come on, don't be so dramatic.'' Abbachio said, pulling him up by the front of his collar with one hand. '' Get up, you're causing a scene! ''

As the group of teens continued to shout at each other while trying to shake Izuku out of his shocked state, Toshinori looked back at them. Toshinori smiled softly to himself, turning away and beginning to walk away.

'' Jojo…I think the future is in good hands.''

(Author's Note:

Hello again! Honestly, I'm really surprised I managed to get this chapter out so quickly!

Now some of you might be a bit confused to see Izuku still gets one for all, so I'm going to explain a few things.

Meddle is the most important ability Izuku has in the story, so most of the focus is going to still be on Meddle and how it develops from each ACT. Also OFA won't be as strong as it is in canon, Izuku is a part of the Bucci Gang and him being overpowered would overshadow the others.

Trying to figure out how to handle OFA in this was…extremely tricky. I couldn't just write it completely out of the story because it's such a key part of the MHA canon, but I couldn't just ignore it either. I thought about giving it to just a completely new character, but I don't think you guys would enjoy that.

So it was either find a canon character to give it to that can remain relevant in story, or just stick to Izuku.

So…I had to stick with Izuku.

Another thing here in this chapter is we see Dio, or at least some of Dio in Toshinori's flashback scene. The rivalry between Dio and the Joestars is a huge part of this story, especially Toshinori's relationship with Jonathan. And Dio and One For All are also working together, I'll let you guys figure out how that'll play out.

Before I end this chapter I have a question for you guys, what kind of quirks would Abbachio and Fugo have? I've decided that I want to give them quirks to balance out their stands, but before I decide I want to see what you guys would think their quirks would be. Remember they both still have their stands, just a quirk to better help in combat.

Thank you for reading! I hope you all have an amazing day! )
