Momo was currently regretting her choice of an internship. She was currently pinned to the floor after getting kicked in the face for like the thirtieth time. She's pretty certain Gran Torino was a sadist at this point. What made this even worse was that Torino and Izuku fought once and Izuku won on the first try so Torino just sent him to the corner to practice quirks by continuously activating as many of them as he could at the same time. Once Izuku found out his life force recharged even while he has things animated he's just been creating more and more animals. Heck he even supplied the support course with Goats that could spin the silk of the Darwin's Bark spider. Which apparently produced the toughest naturally made silk on the planet, it's supposedly ten times as strong as kevlar which astounded Momo. Not to mention the small army of pigeons Izuku assembled back at the dorm, the first time she saw it she nearly spit out her tea. Apparently Izuku had created around 300 but these pigeons had opposable limbs so they were kinda creepy to look like at. That quirk was really similar to Momo's in a way while also completely different.
Anyway back to reality. Her boyfriend was currently breathing fire, pumping air out, regulating his body temperature, probably continuously slowing time, deactivating every electronic in the room, and his eyes were glowing all while producing no sound. It reminded her of that pre quirk era show Izuku made her watch about the Avatar a person who could use every element, except in Izuku's case it was every quirk. Anyway she kicked herself off the floor just to see Torino already launching himself at her again. She was getting tired of Torino kicking her in the face, hell one time he kicked her in the boobs, that still hurt. She created a staff while channeling 8% throughout her body before wildly swinging trying to be as unpredictable as possible. If Torino was going to bounce off the walls like a mad man than she was going to swing like a mad man created wind gusts around the room to try and knock him out of the sky.
"Heh brat finally using your other quirk I see, but a stick really?" Torino dodged the incoming wind blast before hopping back up into the ceiling, he looked around before noticing how much the wind was destroying his poor living room.
"I mean I had other options but you want me to learn to fight better up close right?" Momo grinned at the man before opening her palm and making a rock before using One for All to fire it at Torino. Momo decided to try out a new trick, apparently she could launch objects made from her with the force of One for All. She had discovered that earlier in the week when messing around with making electronics before accidentally launching a cell phone she created into the wall with enough force to shatter the thing.
"Oh ho, I see you have some tricks up your sleeve Ninth but your going to have to do better than that." Torino launched himself back at his opponent watching with mad swings before he noticed her palm came up, she was probably about to launch another rock or something similar, he was not expecting fire to jet out from her hands. He immediately backpedaled trying to escape the blaze. "Okay I think that's enough now, we're going to destroy my house at this rate." He paused as he looked around his ruined living room. "Well more than it already has been. Also since when can you shoot fire brat."
"Kinda just figured it out now. I knew I could make fire but it always burned me so I never used it but since I discovered I can propel the things I make from my body when using One for All. I wanted to see If I could avoid burning myself by shooting it forward which ended up working." Momo sheepishly said.
"Well whatever that's progress you Zygote. We're done for the day the bedroom is upstairs and you WILL be sleeping in separate ones. I'll be having none of that while you two are here. Toshinori told me you two were in a relationship after all." With that Torino walked off towards bed. "Oh and tomorrow we will being going out to patrol, if you keep fighting me you'll develop bad habits. Also clean this place up, you're the one trashed it after all Ninth." Torino laughed as finished exiting the room.
Momo paused. "He's um very spartan." Momo looked at the destroyed room before sighing.
"I vote I just incinerate everything and you make new versions of it personally, it'll be a lot faster than actually lifting all this trash and debris outside. I wish I had Pyrokinesis right now I could just burn it all that way but instead I gotta use molecular vibration instead now. Actually screw it I don't have the fine tuning to do this let's just open the front door and I'll blast it all out with air cannon." Momo complied opening the door for him before Izuku started blowing everything out the door like some kind of weird vacuum, he activated Silence so as to not disrupt Torino upstairs. "Whelp that's step one, I can walk out of the room so you can start making new couches and tables and the like. Or I could stay and you could give me a show." He winked at the girl.
Momo deeply blushed at the innuendo. "N-no you can step out Izu." Izuku laughed as he walked out of the room, that's another point for me.
10 minutes roughly passed before he heard Momo call him back into the room. When he looked around he saw all the brand new furniture strewn about the room. Izuku whistled. "Wow if this hero thing doesn't work out Momo you could be an interior decorator, house designer and builder all at the same time. You'd make a killing, seriously."
"You know I don't care about money Izuku." She hmphed at him. "Plus I'll be a better hero than even you." She said as she stuck her tongue out.
"I know you will, the previous All for One user had over 200 years to collect quirks and he still lost to All Might and you're going to be stronger than even him once you reach 100%. Heck you'll probably reach his strength around 85% if the number of users has anything to do with it, or is it time. It is a stockpiling quirk and All Might had it for a very long time." Izuku held his hand up in thought over the unique nature of One for All. "Well that doesn't matter anyway I'll see you tomorrow Mo." Izuku turned to walk off but a hand caught his shoulder. "Hmm?"
"Dd-do you mean it? That I'll really surpass All Might." She held his face forcing him to stare directly into her eyes. She was looking deep into his eyes and Izuku had his response ready since before the girl asked him the question.
"Yaoyorozu Momo, the ninth holder of One for All and the successor to All Might. I know so. You're going to be so goddamned great it'll blow everyone else out of the wat-" His speech was stopped when the girl pulled him into for a kiss, which they held for what felt like hours even though it was probably not more than a minute.
They were interrupted when Gran Torino came stomping down the stairs. "I thought I told you two brats not to do anything while your staying here, go to bed already." He stomped back off after that but Izuku heard him say "Stupid hormonal teenagers, causing such a ruckus when this old man is trying to sleep."
"Well I guess that's our cue for the night. Good night Momo."
"Good night Izu."
Stain saw a portal appear next to him and he instantly took a defensive stance. Hesitation leads to death after all. However no attack came and a ghosty man walked through the portal Stain did not drop his guard however. "What do you want?" He made his voice sound as disinterested as possible.
"My apologies for dropping in unannounced Hero Killer Stain. I am Kurogiri with the League of Villains, my master wished to grant you an audience with him and an offer." The barkeep war gate bowed as he spoke.
"What reason would I have for accepting this offer?" The man spat.
"Because we believe we have common interests as yours, you too wish to destroy the current Hero world after all do you not?" Kurogiri stepped to the side indicating for the man to enter the portal.
"Fine I'll at least hear your master out." Stain stumbled into the portal before arriving at what looked like an old bar. At the bar there was a blue haired child sitting drinking alcohol. "Aren't you a little young for that runt?"
"It's a pleasure to meet you Stain. I'm a huge fan of yours and no I'm not." The boy spoke into the glass.
"So what did you want?" Stain was not a patient man, he had things to do after all. He also noticed a photo of a green haired boy on the counter.
"All business no pleasure, fair enough. I want to team up with you to help me end All Might." The boy finally turned and spoke to the man.
Stain snarled. "If you know me then you know I would never do that. All Might is the one true hero and if you didn't even know that then clearly you have done no research, I'm leaving." Stained turned to leave before being stopped by the bartender.
"Hero Killer please hear out Shigaraki first before leaving."
Stain pulled one of his blades out ready to cut down the man before him in a second's notice. "I will have no part in a plan to kill All Might, now step aside or you will be my next target."
Shigaraki spoke first. "I hate All Might, I want to destroy the things I hate. I hate this society that worships him. I'll crush him and then the society itself and finally i'll use the remains to build a new society."
"Your the type I hate the most, a spoiled brat who just does whatever it is that pleases them." Stain lunged stabbing the bartender before licking the blade knocking the man to the ground instantly. He turned before rushing the man child and impaling him to the floor with one of his swords. "You won't change anything with the way you currently act and that's why your going to die here." Stain raised his blade intent on ending the child before him but stopped when the other started speaking.
"Conviction this, All Might that, at the end of the day does it even matter. Why are you and everyone else so obsessed with that stupid oaf. When the dust settles it'll be me who crushes society and brings in a new one." Shigaraki launched a blade from his arm at the Hero Killer before spreading his mouth into the biggest grin possible.
The manic look on the boys face surprised even Stain. Stain dodged backwards as the blade shot out from the boy underneath him. "I see, we have goals that couldn't be further apart but in the end we do both share one thing in common, destroying the status quo. ... I've let go of my quirks effect on you mist man send me back and you boy pray I never decide that I need to hunt you as well." Stain walked through the portal before disappearing from the bar.
Shigaraki watched the man leave. "I don't want anyone as crazy as him in our party Kurogiri."
"Stain is a powerful ally Tomura, you would be wise to accept his offer. Even as erratic as his behaviour may be." The mist man replied.
The next day they were rudely awoken at 6 pm by a loud pounding on both of their doors when an angry Gran Torino told them to get up early for their training. Izuku rubbed his eyes blearily, he knew Momo hated not being able to sleep in so he knew he was going to have to deal with his pissed off girlfriend this early in the morning, great. He quickly put his hero costume on, it's design hadn't changed much after all with Izuku's quirk, support gear really didn't matter all that much plus it made him able to get in and out of his costume easier. He put the black sweatpants on before the donning the black hoodie and infinity sign mask before rushing down the stairs.
He found Torino sitting by himself at the table eating taiyaki, which was definitely not a breakfast food Izuku thought. The man spoke first. "Where's the girl? Also what the hell happened to all my furniture."
"Oh uh sir her costume is a lot more intricate than mine so it'll probably take her a bit longer but I can go check if you want. As for the furniture Momo felt bad so she created everything brand new." Izuku eyed the man suspiciously, expecting a sneak attack like yesterday while he was using all his quirks.
"Hmph at least you zygotes have respect down. So tell me about Toshinori how's he doing? Other than his injury and the fact he was dumb enough to help train a potentially new All for One I haven't heard all the much about him recently." Sorahiko eyed the boy suspiciously.
"Well other than the injury getting slowly worse and the fact that his time is going down, he's at about two hours now if I remember correctly. He's not doing too bad otherwise, he's really stressed about the return of All for One but I think he's holding it together, at least I hope he is. He's told me about how he still has nightmares of the battle that injured him." Izuku looked down after that. "I hope I find a quirk that can help him, he deserves a normal life once he retires which at this rate is not far off. He probably won't even be able to use One for All by the end of this year if this trend continues."
Sorahiko stared at the boy before laughing. "Knowing that damn idiot he'll find a way to keep going long after you think he's gonna stop boy. Also ... thank you, I'm glad you've been there for him when I couldn't be. Same with you girl." Sorahiko turned his head to let the new occupant of the room know she's been seen. "After we finish eating we're going to be doing quirkless sparring, I'd rather not destroy my house again when it looks good for once. There's a dirt lot outback we can use. Girl can you make us a mat or something so we don't get dirt all over our clothes."
Momo just huffed. "I have a name you know." Izuku found the sight adorable.
"I'll say your name when you earn it now let's go you neophytes." Gran Torino opened the door to the back leading them to the spot in question.
"Um Torino I know you said no quirks but I can't turn super strength off. It's a mutation type not an emitter type, would you mind borrowing it while we spar?"
The brat was willing to hand his precious quirks off? Well that's already something All for One would've never done."Sure brat hand it over."
Izuku checked the man could handle it before giving it away, he confirmed that this wouldn't hurt him and then he gave Gran Torino super strength.
Torino felt the quirk enter him and a surge of power with it. So this is what having strength like Toshinori and Nana would be like he mused. He felt 30 years younger and now he could understand a bit why All for One hated giving up his quirks. Ugh I'm going to have to go back to being a tired old man after this he sighed, that's going to be less than fun. "Alright you two, no quirks I'm going to be the judge, if you get knocked outside of the ring, pinned, or concede you lose. Simple enough right? Good start."
Wait what, Izuku turned to see Momo already lunging at him. It seems that Torino's constantly kicking her ass has made her hesitate a lot less. Izuku barely managed to dodge backwards holding up his arm to deflect the blow. Before stepping into range with Momo in an attempt to grapple her. Only for Momo to overpower him due to the difference in training they both did, Izuku had forgotten that without super strength all he had was endurance training, Momo on the other hand was jacked from lifting all that trash at the beach. As he felt her pushing him down to the floor both hands locked against each other Izuku decided to roll with it and fell backwards using the momentum of the girl on top of him he pulled her to the ground but twisted along the way guaranteeing that she hit the floor first. Now that he was essentially straddling her Izuku decided to use his legs to wrap around the girl to the point he was sitting on top of her. Izuku was about to go for a pin but then the girl started blushing profusely which caused Izuku to realize the position they were in and that Torino was watching them. Izuku quickly jumped back to his feet away from the girl.
Torino just sighed. "You're supposed to be fighting not groping each other all over. Again."
This time Izuku was ready and he knew about the power difference between him and the girl in front of him. Hell she had the height advantage too, this was really not fair when Izuku couldn't use quirks but he took a stance anyway. This time he decided to be the aggressor and rushed the girl, who simply sidestepped him holding a foot out and tripping him. He managed to slightly recover but not fast enough as he felt the girl on his back pushing him into the ground face first.
"Do you concede Izuku?" He felt the knee digging into his back and it was painful to say the least.
"I yield you got me this time." Izuku was helped to his feet by his opponent.
Torino just sighed more. "You both suck, did Toshinori never give you formal combat training without quirks?"
Izuku rubbing his head and looking away was apparently a good enough answer for the man. Sorahiko slapped his own face. "How can the symbol of peace be this bad of a teacher?" He asked to no one in particular.
"You should've been there when he told Momo to let off a 100% smash with her arm as the first thing she did with the quirk." Izuku paled remembering how that could have gone.
"That idiot did what?! Even he couldn't do that when he first started out!" Torino screamed in disbelief.
Momo just shrugged. "Yea..."
"Alright that's it no more sparring I'm teaching you both basic forms and stances you can use and adjust to your fighting styles later." Sorahiko got down from the chair he was sitting in and walked over to Momo first. "Alright Ninth take a stance." To which Momo did before she felt herself being corrected by the elderly man. "As a woman you fight more by maximizing your momentum rather than brute force, by correcting the positions here and here you can add centrifugal force to your punches and kicks increasing their power. My friend Nana fought like that and she was the seventh user of One for All and she was a hell of a lot more experienced than you so I suggest you take it to heart. You boy take a stance."
Izuku did so.
"You just suck, bring your arms and legs closer together. I swear I can't believe I lost a fight to someone with a stance as bad as this. By tightening up your stance you improve your center of balance as well as making it harder for your opponent to attack overextended limbs." Sorahiko sighed after he corrected the two and then returned to his chair. "Now continue."
And that's how the next 3 hours was spent, it was around noon when they stopped.
"Alright you two we're taking the train to Hosu, we'll be arriving late at night due to the fact that's when most crimes occur. Grab your stuff and let's get going."
"Gran Torino hold up I need super strength back." Izuku rubbed his heavily bruised body, Momo hits like a truck.
"Oh... right." Sorahiko held his hand up to return the quirk before losing the feeling the quirk gave him. He went back to being a tired old man again and it sucked, ... I'm being a hypocrite right now.
The journey to the train was nothing special but as night began to fall that rapidly changed. Izuku was browsing his phone when he heard the intercom go off.
"Passengers please remain seated we are making an emergency stop."
Wait what, his thoughts were immediately interrupted when what looked like a nomu smashed through the side window of the train bringing a hero with him.
Torino reacted first jumping after the Nomu. "You two stay here I'll handle this." Izuku watched as both the Nomu and Torino quickly disappeared into the city.
Momo saw the look on her boyfriends face. "Izuku no."
"Izuku yes." With that he jumped from the train entering the fray as he noticed Hosu was absolutely on fire. He stopped for a second letting Momo catch up.
"Izuku we're going to get into huge trouble for this." Momo sighed knowing there's no way she could stop him.
"Iida's here I'm worried Momo, if I let something happen to him I couldn't forgive myself besides I have a provisional license what's the worst that could happen, actually here I can fix that issue." Izuku phoned the principal.
"Izuku this is about Hosu isn't it." The mouse replied.
"Yeah ... so I'm kind surrounded by Nomu and fire and Iida's in here somewhere don't suppose you could authorize me to fight?" Izuku asked the man.
"... I'm allowing this only until you reach Iida the last time I saw him was near this alleway on fourth street. Yaoyorozu I know you're there, you can fight as well. I urge you both to caution though and I will want a full report later." The rat sighed of course something like this would happen, he should have listened to Midnight.
"Got it thanks Nedzu I'll talk to you later." Izuku hung up turning to face Momo. "See we're good."
"I hate how you can just do that but regardless let's go save our stupid friend." Momo sighed activating 8% all over her body chasing after her boyfriend who was currently flying above the rooftops. She was hopping from building to building attempting to keep pace with him but she was quickly losing him. God damnit Izuku now is not the time to get seperated, she did eventually lose sight of the boy but shortly after a mass text was sent out from Izuku that just had his current location. She knew that wasn't good so she upped herself to 9% and sped after him.
Izuku noticed that he'd lost Momo awhile ago but he knew she would catch up eventually, he couldn't slow down for her as currently Iida's life could depend on seconds lost here.
Iida was currently staring up at the blade impaled into his shoulder, hate dripping from his gaze. "You monster you tried to kill my brother. He was a most excellent hero and you wanted to cut him down where he stood, how dare you preach to me about being a hero."
The hero killer simply looked down at the boy he was unamused to say the least. This child was about the furthest from a true hero as you could get. "Ever since you got here you've not once mentioned the desire to save the man I was about to kill, you've only talked about taking me down. I'll give you one chance, save him." Stain withdrew the blade knowing his request would never be fulfilled, he simply licked the blade and watched as the child crumpled on the floor. "Your brother was a worthy hero that's why I left him alive but paralyzed, to spread my message. You on the other hand are not. Prepare to be purged in the name of a better future child."
"Shut up Villain, my brother was a true hero he saved lives and you failed. No matter how much you tried to cripple him he's going to return and go back to saving others like the true hero he was. You had no right to attack him the way you did. He is going to walk out of that hospital and defeat you even If I couldn't." Tenya screamed at the man.
"Is that so? Seems I didn't do a good enough job the first time but thanks for the info boy. I'll make sure I finish the job correctly next time." Stain raised the blade fully intending to end this child's life.
This was it, this was how Tenya Iida died. I'm sorry Tensei, I couldn't avenge you, of course I couldn't you were always the stronger one brother. Izuku I'm sorry I was weak. You could have stopped me from doing this but I wouldn't let you. Tenya closed his eyes and waited for the blow but it never came. He felt it before he saw it a silent gust of air passed overhead.
Izuku's foot connected with the face of Stain the Hero Killer hurtling the man backwards a few dozen feet. "Sorry Tenya I should've gotten here sooner but don't worry I'll save you." Izuku put his phone back into his pocket after texting everyone his location. Hopefully that will get Momo to him faster as well as anyone else in the area.
"Izuku? Why!?" Tenya was crying he was about to get the life of his friend ended as well. The friend who saved his brother was about to pay for his mistakes. "Please just leave Izuku I can't let you get hurt for what I did."
"What are you talking about Tenya, I'm only here cause that's what heroes will do." Izuku leveled a glare at the now recovered Hero Killer. "You can still get away if you leave now Stain. My backups on it's way and you aren't getting past me."
"You brat who are you?" Stain leveled his question at the boy.
"Just the pro hero in training, All for None." Izuku smirked underneath his mask.
