Enjoy the chapter :D
The students were all still going to their internships even after the end of winter break, being prepared in secret to fight against the threat of the liberation army in 3 months. Midoriya was of course still under Aizawa but little did he know what plagued his friend behind closed doors.
"After all this time." Aizawa sighed as he looked at a picture of his old friend
*knock* *knock*
Aizawa placed the frame down and opened the door to reveal Midoriya.
"What do you want." Aizawa asked
"Calm down I just came to turn in some papers." Midoriya answered
"Alright, thanks." Aizawa said as he grabbed the folder
Midoriya was about to take his leave when Aizawa grabbed his shoulder, stopping him.
"Hold up." Aizawa said
"What is it?" Midoriya asked turning around
Aizawa made a fist and turned around to get the picture of his old friend.
"Do you know who this is?" Aizawa asked showing Midoriya the photo
Midoriya paused to examine the photo of the light blue haired boy.
"Yea I do know who he is." Midoriya said
Aizawa took a good look at Midoriya and realized he was hiding something.
"What do you know about Shirakumo Oboro?" Aizawa asked as his eyes became serious
"A classmate of yours who got killed by a villain and I know he was very close to you." Midoriya replied
Aizawa knew that using the internet to look up deaths in the U.A was not hard by any means but Midoriya knew more than he was letting on.
"Shirakumo Oboro one of the few I considered a friend. Midoriya you're good at hiding secrets so if you know something tell me now." Aizawa said in a low voice
Midoriya closed his eyes knowing he was going to regret this decision but if he was going to regain Aizawa's trust he had to tell him
"Your friend's body was switched out before he was buried." Midoriya said
Aizawa knew this already but he wanted to hear it come from Midoriya himself.
"Before I left the League I tried to find anything that could help me take them down if they ever crossed me but all I could find was documents regarding stolen quirks. No one in the League dared to cross All For One so he had nothing to fear when it came to secret documents. Kurogiri isn't a man but a Nomu mixed with many other quirks to make one singular teleportation quirk. I found a lot of random names but one I did recognize was your old friend Shirakumo. I knew this for some time." Midoriya explained
Aizawa closed his fist and struck Midoriya across the face with all his might. Midoriya knew it was coming but he had to endure it.
"I know this already, what is pissing me off is why did you keep this from me!" Aizawa asked angrily
"Sometimes ignorance is bliss Aizawa but if hitting me makes you feel better than keep going" Midoriya said as he spit out some blood
"Shut up." Aizawa said angrily as he began to beat Midoriya with his fists
Midoriya's eye was now a bit swollen after that punch and blood began to drip from Aizawa's knuckles.
"I'm sorry." Midoriya said in a groggy voice
Aizawa realized what he was doing and saw the blood on Midoriya's face and stopped himself before he did any more damage.
"Tomorrow you're coming with me." Aizawa said as he pulled Midoriya up and gave him some ice from his fridge wrapped in a small clean towel
Midoriya went back to his room and cleaned up his face before laying on his bed.
"What a mess." Midoriya sighed as he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep
The next morning. . .
Midoriya woke up and stared at his white ceiling thinking about the day to come. The halls were barren as the students had gone off to their internships and the only ones left were the students in the general course who were having normal classes.
"Hey, you ready to head out?" Aizawa asked
"Yea what's this all about Aizawa?" Midoriya asked
Aizawa didn't reply and led Midoriya to his car which was parked in front of the school.
"What we are doing now is off the books." Aizawa said before starting the car
Midoriya knew that they were going to break more than just a couple of rules today.
At Tartures prison. . .
"ID." The toll guard asked
"Here you go and I have this one coming along with me as well." Aizawa said as he pointed at Midoriya who was in the passenger seat
The guard knew who Midoriya was and was hesitant to let either of them in now.
"Give me a second." The guard said as he fiddled with Aizawa's ID
The guard stepped into his little toll cubicle and shut the door to make a phone call regarding the situation.
"Ok, you're cleared to enter." The guard said as he stared at Midoriya
The large maximum security prison was heavily guarded and housed only the most dangerous villains.
"Mind telling me what we are doing here?" Midoriya asked
Aizawa ignored Midoriya and drove to the next checkpoint where they would be searched and have their car parked.
30 minutes later. . .
Midoriya was patted down and searched numerous times, unlike Aizawa who was patted down only once.
"Come here." Aizawa said as he walked around the corner to reveal a door at the end of the hall
Aizawa stood in front of the door and took a deep breath before opening the door.
"Is that?" Midoriya asked
"Kurogiri AKA Oboro Shikamuro . . My old friend." Aizawa said as he walked up to the console which held Kurogiri restrained
Midoriya stared at Kurogiri and then back to Aizawa who was staring intently at Kurogiri.
"Aizawa that isn't-" Midoriya was about to say when he was interrupted
"IT IS HIM! HE'S IN THERE." Aizawa shouted back
Midoriya looked over at Aizawa and was met with eyes of desperation.
"And you're going to pull him out. I'm shutting off the recording equipment for one minute." Aizawa said firmly
Aizawa pressed a button and it opened the door that led to Kurogiri's cell.
"Aizawa this isn't going to-" Midoriya said before he was interrupted once again
"Go into the room if not I'm telling everyone about your secret training." Aizawa said angrily
Midoriya closed his eyes and exhaled through his nose and went inside the cell.
"I'm going to bring him back and you do something. I'll keep him from using his quirk but that's all I can do" Aizawa said as he began to press some buttons
A few seconds passed and the dormant mist opened its eyes.
"It's nice to see you again Kurogiri." Midoriya said
"Golden egg you've betrayed us." Kurogiri replied
There was a pause and Midoriya decided to let Kurogiri speak before doing anything.
"I can see it in your eyes. You've changed, the eyes I knew before were empty and void of feeling. Tell me how does it feel to go running back to those who tossed you aside?" Kurogiri asked
"I've learned something that I know no one in the league could ever understand. Redemption and the road that comes along with it is a difficult path but when you reach the finish line it's worth it ." Midoriya replied calmly
"We cannot redeem ourselves and you will see it soon enough. When the time comes everyone will still see you for what you are . . A villain." Kurogiri explained
Kurogiri looked over at Aizawa who was behind the console
" I see your associate still thinks I'm someone from his past." Kurogiri responded
"Yes but he's not wrong." Midoriya said as he walked up to Kurogiri and placed his hand on his metal brace
"W-what are you doing?" Kurogiri asked nervously
All For One
Midoriya closed his eyes and saw himself in a dark room with a crowd of people pointing in one direction.
"Hello?" Midoriya asked as he walked over to the direction he was shown
"Who? Who is there?" The wavy haired apparition asked
"Oboro Shirakumo?" Midoriya asked as he approached slowly
The apparition turned around and revealed a boy with many stitches on his head and body.
"I'm an associate of Aizawa." Midoriya said
"Aizawa. . . is . . . okay? We won?" Shirakumo asked
Midoriya realized that the reason Shirakumo was having trouble functioning must have been due to the procedure of becoming a nomu.
"Yes he's fine but listen I need you to help me out here okay? How do I get you out of this or at least give you control of the body you have right now." Midoriya asked quickly
Shirakumo twitched violently for a second and then responded.
"I. . cant. . . trapped" Shirakumo said
Midoriya let out a frustrated sigh and turned around to face the crowd of shadows who were staring at him.
"I'm open for suggestions." Midoriya said
"He must fight it. Fight and win then he can be free." The voices said
"yea that really helps." Midoriya said frustrated
"Listen I don't have much time so is there anything you want to tell me while you still can?" Midoriya asked
"Tell. .Aizawa . . Sushi. .is .. on . me." Shirakumo said with a smile before he disappeared
Midoriya fell back and noticed Kurogiri was already knocked out after that interaction. Midoriya's head felt like it was being torn apart. Aizawa helped Midoriya out of the cell and turned the security camera back on.
"Well did you pull him out?!" Aizawa asked
"It's not that easy Aizawa, I can't just pull him out of whatever the hell they did to him, I'm sorry." Midoriya explained
Aizawa fell to the ground and tears slowly began to roll down his cheeks as he punched the ground with his fists.
"Let's get out of here." Aizawa said as he slowly stood up
"Wait he did tell me something Aizawa." Midoriya said quickly
There was a moment of silence and Midoriya relayed the message given to him.
"He said tell Aizawa Sushi is on me." Midoriya said
Aizawa stood in silence for a few seconds and began to laugh and then he fell to the ground crying.
"That blue haired idiot and his sushi." Aizawa said
Midoriya let Aizawa let it all out and sat across from him.
"Let's get out of here man." Aizawa said
Later that day. . .
The car ride back to U.A was silent until Aizawa spoke up at random.
"Listen Midoriya I'm sorry about all of this." Aizawa said
"Don't worry about it, If there was even the slightest chance, I would have done the same." Midoriya replied
Midoriya looked out his window and watched the people and lights pass by him.
"How about some sushi on me huh?" Aizawa asked
"Sure I could go for some Sushi." Midoriya replied
"I know this great place Shirakumo showed me that isn't too far from U.A. He told me only to take friends because the sushi was 'just that good' " Aizawa explained with a laugh
Midoriya felt a smile come across his face when he heard those words come from Aizawa. The night ended with two friends filling themselves up with sushi until they couldn't eat another bite.
1 week later . . .
Midoriya watched as his classmates/students left the school to attend their internships, A sad smile grew across his face.
"Midoriya." All Might said with a smile
"All Might how are you, I haven't seen you lately." Midoriya replied
All Might was focused on working with Mirio and helping him learn the quirk he entrusted to him.
"I'm guessing you've heard about the upcoming raid." All Might said as he watched the students wish each other good luck
"We are the same age and yet I feel they are too young for this. Plunged into this fight for good and they still haven't even learned how to drive." Midoriya said as he gripped the pieces of paper in his hand
"You have shown them many things and I think because of your teaching they will be ready for anything Midoriya." All Might said with a smile
Midoriya exhaled deeply and shook his head at All Might.
"You know it's funny, I'm not even allowed to fight alongside them." Midoriya said frustrated
"What do you mean, are you part of a different group or?" All Might asked
"I mean I got told just yesterday. On the day of the raid, I'm not allowed off the premises." Midoriya explained
"I'll go speak to someone this is ridiculous." All Might said
"Don't. It was a vote between all heroes and only the teachers from here chose to have me involved. All the other heroes all agreed I was not to be trusted with such a sensitive mission and I understand their decision but I can't help but feel like nothing has changed. I'm still just a villain to everyone." Midoriya explained
Midoriya turned around to go back into the dorms.
"If that's their choice then so be it." Midoriya said before closing the door behind him
Aizawa was frustrated that Midoriya could not come along for the raid against the liberation army.
"I wish he could join in too Aizawa." Nezu said
"Why are they-! Midoriya has the power and skill to take out 1/4 of that army on his own and they insist on leaving him out." Aizawa said as he sat down angrily
"They decided he was not to be trusted except for hawks who chose to include him." Nezu said frustrated
"Still It must feel horrible sending out his classmates and students into such a dangerous mission but unable to watch their backs." Aizawa said calming down
Midoriya was sitting in his room tapping away at his legs, he always kept his cool but this time it was different.
"I can't do it." Midoriya whispered
"You must." The voices said
Midoriya closed his eyes and kept tapping his feet until he heard a knock at his door.
"I'm coming." Midoriya said as he walked over to the door
"Hey, problem child how are ya?" Mirio said
"Hello." Eri greeted Midoriya
Midoriya returned Eri a smile and felt a sting of guilt in his body.
"So we were thinking of having a picnic." Mirio said
"Not today guys." Midoriya apologized
"Aw, man." Mirio said bummed out
"But hey get her candy for me okay?" Midoriya said as he pulled out some cash and gave it to Mirio
"That sound okay to you?" Mirio asked Eri
"Id like to taste a sour candy." Eri said with a smile
"Sour candy it is then!" Mirio said as he picked up Eri and put her on his shoulders
"Bye, you two." Midoriya said forcing a smile
"Bye." Eri said as she waved goodbye
. . .
"I hope this works." Midoriya said
"It will. . . .It will." The voices whispered
2 days left until the raid.
The days went by quickly as Midoriya tried his best to prepare both class 1-A and class 1-B for the war they were going to be thrown into.
"I can feel him getting closer." Midoriya said as he lay on his bed
"The original is being passed on to him." the voices said
Midoriya sighed and made his way to the closet. The suitcase which held his vigilante costume stared back at him.
"No going back." Midoriya said as he pulled out the suitcase and got it battle ready.
After Midoriya finished he placed the costume away and decided to take a walk around the school alone.
"It's for the greater good." Midoriya whispered to himself repeatedly as he followed the sidewalk until All Might came behind
"Midoriya hey." All Might said out of breath
Midoriya was caught off guard and jumped a bit.
"All Might." Midoriya said
Midoriya was worried and anxious on the inside but on the outside, he was calm and collected.
"Out for a walk eh?" All Might said jogging in place
"Just thinking about what we talked about the other day." Midoriya replied
All Might stopped jogging in place and walked with Midoriya to try and give him some advice since he was technically a student.
"You know Mirio isn't allowed in the raid either." All Might said
"I can already guess why." Midoriya said
"If word got out about One For All now the world would just have another crisis on its hands. Mirio knows that if he showed off this strength in the raid many would want an explanation." All Might explained
"How is he doing in his training anyway?" Midoriya asked
"Well, he has manifested a new quirk known as black whip and can control up to 50% power." All Might said rubbing the back of his neck
"Wait, that's impossible." Midoriya said
"That's what I thought too but he came one day and told me that he spoke to one of the previous holders of one for all and learned about black whip." All Might explained
"Then that means he can learn all the other quirks from the previous holders as well?" Midoriya asked somewhat worried
"It seems like but if he can learn all these quirks he can bring peace to the world." All Might said with a smile
Midoriya blacked out and found himself in the dreamscape as he liked to call it.
The shadowy crowd stared at Midoriya until a small girl walked up to Midoriya who was perfectly visible.
"Who are you?" Midoriya asked taking a step back
Midoriya was confused as to why this new girl was perfectly visible. The little girl with black hair pigtails walked to Midoriya and handed him a photo.
"This is." Midoriya said looking down at the photo and back at the girl
Midoriya looked around and saw that the shadowy crowd was afraid of the entity. The girl looked at Midoriya with a smile and signaled him over causing him to fall to his knees.
"Let's become heroes together like grandma." She whispered into his ear as she looked behind Midoriya
Midoriya felt a chill go down his spine as he turned around and saw a perfectly visible family that disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Midoriya? Midoriya you alright?" All Might asked
"Huh? Oh, yea just lost in thought." Midoriya replied quickly
"I lost you for a moment there." All Might said patting Midoriya in the back
"Anyway the quirk he is going to learn next is from my mentor-" All Might was about to say when he was interrupted
"Nana Shimura." Midoriya said finishing All Mights sentence
"Yes, I'm surprised you know." All Might said
"All Might aren't you worried?" Midoriya asked
"Hm? About what?" All Might asked
"One For All is evolving to the point of passing down quirks from other holders. The quirk is going to be even stronger in a few generations." Midoriya explained
"Don't worry the quirk can't be stolen Midoriya." All Might said reassuring Midoriya with a smile before he went ahead and finished his jog
Midoriya made a fist in frustration at that comment. The quirk couldn't be stolen but there is no telling who it will be passed onto in the future and it's foolish to think that the quirk will stay in the hands of justice forever.
That night. . .
Midoriya was lying in bed thinking about his life and how many twists and turns it has taken until he drifted off to sleep.
"Hello, Midoriya." All For One greeted in a cold voice
"I think you've noticed by now that Shigaraki is getting closer and closer to his goal." All For One said as he got closer to Midoriya
"What do you want?" Midoriya asked
"Well, I just wanted to check in on my little pet project." All For One said
"Coming from a man strapped to a chair." Midoriya said with a chuckle
All For One smiled and looked behind him at the crowd that intently watched.
"So you've gotten close with the tools." All For One said showing a hint of annoyance
"I wouldn't call them tools but say what you want." Midoriya said
"No matter, your mind will crumble soon enough and i'll be sure to send you and your mother a postcard." All For One said with a wicked smile
"Lay a hand on my mother and you will regret it All For One." Midoriya said angrily
"We will see about Midoriya." All For One said as he disappeared
