Chapter 7: Battle Training

"Are you serious?!" Izuku heard the cry of anger and frustration coming from the kitchen, he had just gotten done brushing his teeth in the bathroom when he heard it. The shout came from Emi of all people, since Izuku has known she is not one to get angry. Hell, he wasn't even sure that Emi could get angry, but from the looks of it she could.

Izuku entered the kitchen to see the couple looking at the television that had the morning news on screen. Izuku looked at the news to see the trial of Ryu Aoki had come to end and in a shocking and stunning conclusion the villain known as Scorpion is free.

"We had him. We had him!" Emi screamed, she was visibly angry and was not happy with the results. Shota was the same, he too had worked on the case to put Aoki in prison. They had everything that they needed to put him away and somehow the bug escaped. What had happened, Shota wondered. They had a reliable witness that was willing to stand across from Aoki and testify to tell the judge of the sins that he committed.

'How could someone kill the witness? We had him secured in an off the books facility with guards and one of Endeavor's strongest side-kicks protecting him. Nezu called me earlier this morning saying that everyone was dead and it could not have been Aoki since he was in Tartarus being monitored.' Shota mused over the potential people that could pull off that assassination, but the answer was right in front of him.

"Guess Scorpion had enough left to hire a Super Soldier from All For One." Both Emi and Shota stopped thinking for a whole minute after hearing those words from Izuku.

"What?" Emi said with confusion and shock, more so shock than anything else. Izuku at his toast as he began to explain to his guardians what exactly All For One does with his soldiers.

"All For One once he created by my brothers and I began to use us as...well, hit men basically. We all took out targets that All For One wanted, but it was also targets that someone paid All For One to take out. I also might add we are not cheap. It's a hefty price to pay for our skill."

"How much?" Emi asked out of curiosity and the answer that Izuku gave her almost made her pop her eyes out.

"It's $200 million dollars for one soldier." Emi did spit take when she heard that number, that's more than anything she even hoped to afford and All For One was chagrin villains to pay that much for one soldier. He really is evil.

"Back to the matter at hand. Izuku, if I tell what happened, the witness will be able to tell me who killed him." Izuku nodded his head, he knows how all his brothers fight. If Shota can give him great details of how the witness died then he will be able to figure out who did it.

"When heroes arrived at the safe house they found gunshot wounds, the witness and one of Endeavor's best sidekicks, Spike, were both found dead with their veins black in color." That last part about the veins being black was all that Izuku needed. He only knew of one that had the ability to turn veins into that darken color.

"Painkiller," Izuku told them, he looked away from them as he began to recall his older brother. Izuku turned back to his adoptive father to see that he still wanted to know more and Izuku figured that it was best to tell him.

"Painkiller, I talked about him before."

"The one who could poison anyone just by touching them." Izuku nodded his head, he was glad that Shota remembered the abilities of the super soldiers. That information would save him if he ever went up against them, though his quirk alone makes fighting them a tad bit easier, but that does not mean he will win. All super soldiers are masters of hand to hand combat.

"Good, you remember. Yes, Painkiller is the one that can not only poison you just by touching you, but also shut off your quirk as well. His Venom Touch is much like your Erasure quirk, the difference is he has to touch you in order to use it." Aizawa nodded his head, but still had one question on his mind, one that had been bothering him ever since he took Izuku in.

"Can I beat him?" Izuku didn't answer the question right away, he just stared at his guardian with a blank face. Emi saw how quiet the room got and sensed the tension in the air, it was thick. Emi knew that Shota was a great fighter, probably the best on the planet. Izuku is a close second in her eyes, but even she wondered if these super soldiers were stronger than her love.

"I'm not going to lie to you."

"And you best not." Shota replied quickly and with a tone of a father, he does not play with liars and he will not have that coming from his son.

"The soldiers are masters of all forms of combat and yes, your Erasure quirk can shut off their powers, but let me ask you something. Does power really matter if one has skill?" Aizawa didn't bother answering, it was a rhetorical question. The older pro knew the answer to it and he had a feeling that that was going to be the answer. Shota beat Izuku, yes, but Izuku has beaten some of the soldiers, all but one. What if he goes up against this fabled Winter Soldier? What will the outcome be?

"We'll discuss more of this later, for now get school." Izuku nodded his head, he was opening to talking more about his brothers. Besides the more information the pros have on how his siblings operate the more of a chance of surviving they have.

Izuku got up and left the kitchen, he headed to the door and grabbed his helmet. Soon he left the house leaving the two lovers in the kitchen. Emi looked at her love, she saw the conflicted look that he was wearing on his face. She knew that Shota didn't ask that question about beating the super soldiers for his pride, but for Izuku's safety. Shota doesn't show it, but he loves that boy just as much as he loves Emi.

'I have to get stronger.' That was the last thought Shota had before he felt the arms of Emi around him. He moved his hands to them and just held them. He wanted to feel her warmth before heading to UA, but elsewhere figures were starting to move around zuku.

Elsewhere

"Another failed attempt, our only witness is killed, our men are killed, and Scorpion walks free. If we still had an Enforcer we wouldn't need to resort to these pointless tactics. We could just have them kill him and we would be on a merry way." An official in a suit spoke with hostility as he and others watched the news that was still covering the freedom of Scorpion. The fallout of the trial was on every news channel and it seemed like it was not going away anytime soon.

"The Enforcer initiative was a prototype, a successful prototype, but it failed when the time came. Lady Nagant proved the enforcer initiative could be successful, but she was not the one to carry on that mission any longer." Another official spoke as he sat across from the other, they were both not alone though as many other officials sat around a rectangular table, but at the head was a woman and next to her standing up was a man with red wings.

"Lady Nagant was never going to succeed as an enforcer, at the end of the day she was a hero at heart and we pushed her too far. Her mental breakdown led to the death of my predecessor, that will not happen again. The Enforcer project can't work with heroes." The woman spoke with calmness, but her tone carried authority to her that none shall question her judgment.

"Then what are we supposed to do with Scorpion and others like him?" The woman debated the answer to that question internally. Scorpion was a threat and that fact that the heroes have lost again to him the public will start to lose trust in them.

"Hawks," The woman called the name of the young man standing behind. Hawks walked up casually with a smile on his face, he knew where the president was going and knew that it was his time to shine.

"My time to speak, huh?" Hawks jokes, but the president paid no attention to him, she had gotten used to his jokes a long time ago.

"Tell me more about Izuku Aizawa." Hawks smiled, things were about to get very interesting for not only him, but the entire Aizawa family. The wagons are circling the super soldier and now it's only a matter of time before one decides to stop.

At UA

Izuku was trying to sleep, trying being the key word since he could thanks to his new friend in Melissa Shield. The moment the girl saw him pull up she kept on pestering him about living with Eraserhead and being a pro's son. Questions about his mother, questions about his quirk, questions, questions, questions, and even more questions. It was annoying him to the point he wanted to kill himself.

'How can one human talk so much? Doesn't she get tired of asking questions? Doesn't her throat dry up?' Izuku thought as Melissa continued to ask questions, as she was doing she noticed the thick vein on the side of his head. That was him trying to prevent the headache that he was about to receive.

"Izuku, are you even listening to me?"

"Unfortunately." Izuku dragged Melissa pout, the soldier had dealt with many things in his life, but Melissa Shield might be the biggest thing he will ever have to deal with. Melissa took offense to that and pulled his ear, she pulled the super soldier's ear. As comical as the scene was, it also hurt Izuku.

"Ow," Izuku complained as his right ear was about to be taken off by his supposed friend. Melissa was going to let him ignore her during her barrage of questions and this time there was no escape for Izuku unless he wanted to lose his ear.

"I was asking why didn't you tell me that Aizawa-sensei was your dad?"

"Because I didn't want to." Izuku felt his ear get tugged by Melissa and it was all thanks to the response that he gave her. Guess she didn't like that at all since she pulled even harder, making Izuku wince in pain.

"Seriously?"

"Seriously, and please release my ear. I still need it since we are about to start class." Izuku told her that he felt his ear getting taken off. Melissa made a face and decided to let go of his ear, the now freed teen rubbed his ear. Melissa turned back around in her seat to see her homeroom teacher and her best friend's father in his sleeping bag.

"I see that you are all seated well, but today I won't be teaching today's class. Today you all will be doing your battle training and your teacher will be this man here." Izuku saw Shota collapse to the ground in his sleeping bag, it looked comfortable, maybe he should start to bring his own. Izuku's focus soon went back to the door when he heard loud heroic music and to his surprise the door slid open and out came the one and only All Might.

"I am coming through the door like a normal person." All Might announced, though most people don't announce themselves like he just did, but what they can say it's All Might.

Izuku could tell that the class was excited to learn under All Might, they were literally geeking out about it. Izuku personally was interested, he wasn't geeking out like the rest, but he could see the value that All Might teaching could bring him. Perhaps he could find some insight in how to kill All For One from him.

"Welcome class to Battle Training, today all of you will be in combat to test your fighting skills and what better to do that than in your hero costumes!" The class erupted in cries of joy when they heard that. They will be wearing the personalized hero costume, everything that they worked in their designs was about to be shown right now. All Might saw the reaction and smiled, he pressed a button on the desk and the cases appeared out of the wall.

"Grab your costumes and meet me at the training area. Can't wait to see you there!" All Might then proceeds to hero dash out of the classroom leaving the children there. Everyone did not wait long to get their respective briefcases with their costumes inside of it.

They could not wait to try them on and see how they look in them. While everyone made their way out Izuku took his time. He was in no rush, but Melissa was not going to have that. She grabbed the teen's arm and began to pull him to the cases, once there she tossed him into his hands and then ran out the classroom with him.

"W-Wait!" Melissa did not listen since she could not wait any longer and Izuku's amr was nearly torn from his socket by the girl's strength. Unknown to Izuku, the boy's father was smiling the whole way.

'He's lucky that I'm not Nemuri or Hizashi, they will be making his life a nightmare right now.' Shota thought as he continued to nap on the floor, he would trust Izuku to go a tad bit easy on the students, but not too easy. They need to know how far the gap is between them and Izuku, he believes if they see how far they have to go they will work harder to reach Izuku's level.

With Class 1-A

All Might watched as his students were coming out the tunnel with their costumes, he saw the new look of the next generation and was very impressed by it. Fashion had changed over years and that included hero fashion, gone with the classic styles of the cape and came in the new modern style. More loud clothing, more provocative, more support gear, and more swag...as the kids say it.

All Might had everyone but two of the students and those two were Izuku and Melissa. He would not rush them, they still had time and besides she remembers when he first got his costume from David, it took a whole hour for him to leave the mirror.

"Sorry I'm late." All Might looked up and saw Melissa coming out, her costume was now and it was something that you expect her to wear.

Melissa hero's costume consisted purple tights with black stripes on the side, yellow boots with black laces on her feet, a pair of yellow gloves, a purple leather jacket that was zipped all the way with a large yellow S was on her chest, and to cap it off she had on yellow utility belt for her support gear. Melissa decided to go with a new and modern look, but decided to keep her support roots in the costume as well. Melissa got in formation with everyone else as they all complimented her costume, all that was left was Izuku.

"Great, now all we need is Izuku and then we can start class." All Might said aloud and the moment the name left his mouth Izuku decided to make his appearance. The super soldier exited the darkness of the tunnel and stepped into light wearing his costume.

"Whoa!" Deniki exclaimed as he was the first one to see the costume of Izuku and when everyone saw where his eyes were they all turned to look in the direction. Every single one of them, including All Might, widened their eyes at the costume that Izuku was wearing.

Izuku didn't have to make a costume, he already had one and he knew that this was going to be his costume from day one. The super soldier was wearing his Taskmaster armor, fully repaired from his battle with the pros and upgraded with new weapons that will make him even more dangerous in a fight.

Everyone had different costumes, some were sexy, some were goofy, some were even cool or basic, but none of them could say that they were menacing. Izuku is the only one that they could see that held that title. The weapons all around his side, the advanced armor and chest plate, the hood covering his head, and the item that gave him the menacing look was the skull like helmet on his head.

"I-Izuku?" Melissa called out his name to actually make sure that it was him and he responded back with a casual tone.

"Yeah, it's me." Izuku pulled the hood down and removed his helmet showing his face, proving to everyone that it was indeed him under that helmet. Izuku held the helmet to his side as he got a look at Melissa's costume, it was not bad and even he had to admit he liked the purple.

"Nice costume, Lissa." Melissa didn't know why, but for some reason she blushed when she heard that compliment come from Izuku. Izuku doesn't even know why he called her by some stupid nickname.

"Oh...Uh...Thank you, I designed it myself. It's still a work in progress, but I was thinking of heading to the support lab after school." Izuku heard her and decided to go as well, he needed to go to the support lab as well to see what kind of tech they had.

"Cool, I'll tag along as well." Izuku told her plainly, making Melissa's face turn into a cherry color. Melissa's face was starting to heat up and she had to calm down soon for the battle training was about to start.

All Might had seen enough and saw that the students were all ready, but even he had to take a good minute to calm himself. Izuku's outfit did give him a….imitating look, he never faced Izuku when he was known as Taskmaster, but from what Naomasa tells him Izuku was able to hold his own fairly well against five pro heroes.

'So that is the Taskmaster armor, huh. Well it does have a look to it, it even caught me off guard.' All Might thought as he concluded his thoughts as he decided that it was time to begin the class. The number one hero took an inhale of air and finally spoke to his class.

"You all look great in your costumes! Now gather around, it's time for today's lesson and that lesson is teamwork. Each of you will be put in two teams and will do battle against in a classic hero versus villain battle." Izuku listened alone as he stood next to Melissa, secretly he was hoping that he would be paired up with her so he can really get a good look at her fighting capabilities.

"The mission objective for the heroes is to capture the villains or stop the bomb from detonating and for the villains you either defeat the heroes or let the countdown on the bomb expire thus ending in the hero's defeat. Everyone understand?" Everyone nodded their heads and All Might smiled, he then put both of his hands in two separate boxes.

"Whoever names I draw from these boxes will be paired. Teams with odd numbers will be the Heroes and teams with even numbers will be the Villains. Now, let's see what teams we have."

Melissa Shield & Ochako Uraraka (Team 1) vs. Katsuki Bakugo & Tenya Iida (Team 2 )

Izuku Aizawa & Mezo Shoji (Team 3) vs. Mashirao Ojiro & Toru Hagakure (Team 4)

Fumikage Tokoyami & Tsuyu Asui (Team 5) vs. Eijiro Kirishima & Hanta Sero (Team 6)

Denki Kaminari & Kyoka Jiro (Team 7) vs. Momo Yaoyorozu & Shoto Todoroki (Team 8)

Yuga Aoyama & Mina Ashido (Team 9) vs. Rikido Sato & Koji Koda (Team 10)

"There we have it, the teams have drawn. Link up with your partner and the first two teams stay here. You will be heading into the mock city very shortly, the rest of you with me. We are heading to the observation room to watch the match." With the teams now selected everyone began to link up with the partner, Izuku however did not go to Shoji right away. Instead he decided to talk to Melissa before her match, giving the girl some last words of advice.

"Are you going to be alright?" Izuku asked, he got right to the point and didn't waste any time discussing it. Melissa and Ochako were going up against a strong team in Katsuki and Tenya, one was reckless and powerful while the other was cautious and fast. The one thing that Melissa and Ochako have going for them will be the fact they will be able to work as a team.

"Yeah, Ochako and I will be alright. Why are you worried about us?" Melissa teased the super soldier, but Izuku brushed it off. He just looked away and turned to Katsuki who was too busy glaring a hole at him. Looks like he wants a piece of the Taskmaster, but that would be a big mistake...for Katsuki.

"N-No. I am just...cautious that's all. Your power tends to hurt you and someone like Katsuki will not stop attacking you when he sees you with a broken arm." Izuku pointed out the obvious weakness of Melissa, but she smiled. She had been noticing this and decided that in order for her to be effective she will need to stop the breakage of her bones. In her private home lab she cooked up something at the last minute for her costume.

"You let me worry about that and you worry about your match." Melissa told him assuringly and Izuku had no choice but to nod his head. He will have to trust to win this match, but that doesn't mean he would leave her without giving her one piece of advice.

"From what I've seen he tends to lead with his left hand so watch out for that." Melissa took the advice and went over to Ochako leaving Izuku. The teen saw her fleeting back watching with curiosity.

Melissa was different from anyone that he ever met. She was staring to…make him feel different. Not in a sexual way, but in a more emotional way. He has never had friends, no one to truly care about outside of his brothers and even now Shota and Emi have to come to matter to him, but now Melissa was starting to work her way there.

"Good luck." Izuku shouted to her, the blonde American turned her head back to him and gave him a thumbs up.

With that completed she turned her attention back to Ochako and both young heroines began to make their way to the building that they will attack. Izuku sighed and thought that it was best for him to leave as well. The super soldier turned around to join the rest of the class in the observation room where he could watch this fight.

Melissa and Ochako were now in front of the building, they were now waiting for All Might to start the battle. Katsuki and Tenya were at the top floor waiting for the match themselves, all four teens were ready for battle. All Might saw the game faces on them and decided to speak into the intercom system.

The students behind him were watching with curious eyes to see who would win the first match in the battle training. Izuku kept his emerald eyes closed to the monitor, he would not miss an opportunity to see the moves of combatants in the city.

"The match will now begin!" All Might sounded the alarm for the match to begin and once pierced the ears of the heroes and villains in the building Melissa and Ochako dashed into the building. They were headed down the hallway with a sense of urgency, they knew they could wait long for the time of the essence.

They both came to a stop at the end of the hallway, Melissa looked down the corner to see that no one was there. Ochako was behind her covering her back, but while doing so she decided to ask her friend a question.

"Hey Melissa, do you think that we can win?" Melissa was caught off guard by the question and turned to look at her partner. Ochako was not scared, but she was unsure of herself, she had seen what Katsuki had done in the apprehension test and he got the second highest score in the heroic exam. Katsuki was no joke and while she had a good quirk it was not on the level of someone like Katsuki explosive power.

"Don't think like that Ochako, I know we can win. We just have to work together, trust each other, and believe in ourselves. So do you trust me?" The words coming from Melissa and the smile that she had on face was enough to calm Ochako nerves. Melissa was speaking to cheer up Ochako either, she truly believed that she and her gravity defying friend could both beat Katsuki and Tenya.

"Now come on, let's-MOVE!" Melissa screamed as she saw Katsuki going after Ochako, she grabbed the round face girl and dove out of the way, both of them narrowly avoiding the explosion that impacted with the ground. Melissa and Ochako both looked at each other, they were alright, but they had no time to truly confirm that with each other as they looked at the dynamite in front of them.

The smoke cleared from the explosion. They saw the feral look in his eyes, Katsuki was looking like a hungry lion and both girls were his prey. "So, who wants to die first?" Katsuki whispered as explosions exploded off of his hand.

"Ochako, get to the bomb!" Melissa ordered her teammate, but Ochako was hesitant to leave her by herself with Katsuki of all people.

"But-"

"GO! I will handle this stick of dynamite." Melissa doesn't know if calling Katsuki a name was a good idea, but it worked cause he came right after her. Melissa rolled out of the way and dodged another explosion from the teen. She quickly then got up and faced him while Ochako began to run up the stairs. Katsuki didn't even give a second look, he will deal with her the moment he deals with her.

"Bring it." Melissa told him with defiance in her tone, she was not scared...ok, that was a lie. She was a little bit scared, but if there's one thing that she hated, more villains were bullies. She has had enough of that in her life and she will not be bullied again.

"Your wish!" Katsuki fired an explosion from behind him and propelled right towards Melissa. Melissa saw him coming in fast, but saw something just as he was moving. Melissa saw Katsuki's left hand begin to move towards and just as she saw this the advice that Izuku gave her ring into her mind.

'He is leading with his left, just like Izuku said. I can do this!' Melissa got ready as the left hand Katsuki was coming towards her and when it did she caught it with both hands. Melissa did waste any time and did not want to give the opportunity to fire one of his damn explosions off so she quickly turned around and executed a great judo throw that slammed Katsuki right on his back, but that was not all.

Melissa activated a small portion of One For All and using her prototype gloves she channeled the power into the gloves so when Katsuki hit ground lets just say he hit the ground a lot harder than he initially thought. Katsuki's back crashed into the ground creating small spider-web-like cracks. Melissa saw him, he was down, but he was not out. She knew that it was going to take much more than to take him down.

Everyone watching was indeed impressed by what Melissa did, she pulled off a great counter and caught Katsuki by surprise. "Nice move," Denki was the one that complimented Melissa making everyone nod their head. "What did you think of Izuku...Eh, Izuku?" Denki looked over at the super soldier only to see that his eyes had a blank look in them. Izuku was staring at the monitor, but that is all that he was staring at.

"Uh guys...I think Izuku is broken." Denki waved his hands in front of his eyes and even that didn't get his attention. Denki tried to snap his fingers in front of his face, but that is where Izuku had enough. He grabbed the electric teen's hand and told him with a sincere and yet threatening tone to stop.

"I'm not broken, I'm just paying attention like you should be. Now would you please stop?" Izuku told him and Denki shivered, Izuku never even looked at him when he told him to stop and made it even more creepy.

"Izuku is right, you all pay attention. You never know what you might miss." The action had begun again between Katsuki and Melissa. Katsuki had gotten up from the throw by Melissa, he was hurting, but could still move. The explosive teen glared a hole at Melissa, he was not happy, in fact Melissa may have just woken up a sleeping demon.

Katsuki gritted his teeth, they were grinding together like they were gears and Melissa feared that he may really damage his teeth. Katsuki growled and blasted himself forward. Melissa got ready, but this time Katsuki was going to change tactics.

Melissa saw Katsuki coming again and got ready to deliver another judo throw, she caught his left hand and was set to throw him over her shoulder, but this time Katsuki was a step ahead. Katsuki smirked as she fired off an explosion from left palm and that blast came in direct force.

Melissa got blasted backwards and as she was back peddling Katsuki decided to go on the attack even more. He blasted himself forward once again, but this time he got beside her and grabbed the back of her jacket. Katsuki then proceeded to fire his explosion to carry his momentum in order to throw Melissa into the wall beside him.

Melissa crashed into the wall with a large thud, but that was not all as Katsuki aimed both his palms forward and blasted Melissa right thru the wall and into a storage unit. Melissa rolled on the ground, those last two attacks hurt her pretty bad. She has to get up quickly, she could already hear Katsuki stepping through the hole that she just made no thanks to his powers. Melissa pushed herself up, she hoped that Ochako was having a better time than right now.

Ochako had found the location of the bomb and it was being guarded by Tenya, she was hiding behind a pillar and was trying to keep her laughter in check as she heard Tenya practice evil laughter. When heard it she could no longer hold the laughter in and that caused her presence to be known to Tenya.

'Darn him and his evil laughter.' Ochako thought as it would see that it was time for her fight, she just hoped that Melissa was doing better than her.

"AH!" Melissa crashed into the back wall, she was not having a great time right now and Katsuki was giving a first rate ass kicking. The teen's explosions were keeping her back so she could get in close to strike him with one of her punches. But it also seemed like the more she got up the more she was pissing him off. Maybe she could use that to her advantage.

"Ochako, we are you?" Melissa whispered into the small communicator, she heard static, but was soon able to get an answer from the other end.

"I'm on the fourth floor with Tenya and...whoa...the bomb. He's making it difficult for me to get to it." Melissa's big brain soon began to form ideas and it went through she only saw one that could actually work. She would have time to get it right, but if so then her and Ochako would win this match. With the plan in mind Melissa got up and that made Katsuki growl.

"Why won't you stay down?!" Katsuki was furious, he should have been able to put her away a long time ago, but again and again she keeps getting back up. He was getting tired of this and decided that it was time to put an end to this stupid game. Katsuki raised his right arm and aimed the grenade like a gauntlet right at the face of Melissa.

"Let's see you survive this!" All Might saw what Katsuki was about to do and ordered him to stop.

"Katsuki, don't you dare pull that pin. You could kill Melissa." All Might was not trying to sound like a protective uncle, but what Katsuki is about to do is going too far. Katsuki heard the number one hero's deep voice over the intercom and hesitated, he wanted to fire his long range explosion bomb, but All Might stopped him. Katsuki growled and shook his head, his anger was getting the best of him and Melissa saw the hesitation as a moment to strike.

Melissa dashed forward and charing her right fist with the power of One For All, the red streaks soon appeared around the girl's fist. Katsuki had already seen enough of her quirk to know that whenever those red streaks appeared it meant Melissa was about to bring down the house or in this case the building. Katsuki didn't even think twice when he pulled the pin on his gauntlet.

"Die!" Katsuki screamed as he pulled the pin and Melissa saw the massive fireball come out of the gauntlet, she widened her eyes as she began to brace for impact, but at the last second to told Ochako to hold onto something.

"Ochako brace yourself!" Melissa threw her right arm up forward and fired her tremendous power right up at the ceiling while still taking the blast.

The awesome power came out of Melissa fist and blasted a literal hole in the ceiling. Melissa did not hold back when she used it thus creating a devastating gust of wind that tore through the concrete of the building. The powerful force was going floor to floor making the building shake.

"What is happening right now?!" Tenya screamed, he could not hold his balance while Ochako on other hand used her power to make a pillar float. She was holding on for dear life as the building continued to rumble to the power of Melissa's punch.

Ochako opened her eyes to see the bomb was unguarded, she decided to take a jump and leaped over to the bomb. Ochako had her arms opened like she was going in for a hug and did she ever hug the bomb. When she landed on the fake bomb the alarm sounded and All Might called the match.

"Match over, Heroes win!" Katsuki was still processing what just happened, it wasn't that he lost, it was that fact that Melissa was smiling. The girl had taken his most powerful explosion full on and still standing. Melissa had burns on her body; the worst of her injuries was that her entire right arm was broken, the yellow support glove that she made was destroyed and in pieces.

"W-We...Win." Melissa soon collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, she had indeed gone plus ultra to win and it took everything out of her. Izuku who was watching was impressed, she knew that she was not going to escape the Katsuki blast so she fired her power to the ceiling in order to help Ochako.

'Impressive. Sloppy, but impressive.' Izuku's critique was harsh, but there were some qualities that showed that he enjoyed watching. With time and proper training she could be a real force in the hero world.

Few Minutes Later'

"Well class, can anyone tell me who the MVP of the match is?" All the students were now looking at previous contestants. Both heroes and villain teams had returned from the mock city and were now getting their review from All Might.

Izuku didn't pay attention to Momo who answered the All Might question, his focus was on Melissa. Her costume was ripped up pretty badly and right arm was still broken. All Might told her to the nurse's office, but she denied it and told him that she wanted to speak and hear the review.

"Very good Momo, Tenya is the MVP. Now onto the match, will our next four students head into mock city." It was time now for Izuku to do battle, the teen walked up to the door with Shoji behind him. They were going up against Ojiro and Toru, they were protecting the bomb while his team were the heroes.

"Izuku," Izuku stopped walking to look at Melissa. "Good luck," Izuku doesn't need luck and has never needed it. Luck doesn't help him complete the mission or win a fight, it was skill that got it done.

"Don't need it and don't worry about me. You head to the nurse's and get that arm fixed. When I win I'll come meet you and then we can head to the support department." Melissa saw how Izuku cared more about her than his own match and not only that she saw how he just irradiated confidence. He knew that he was going to win and he said without a shadow of doubt in his mind. It just shows her that she still has a ways to go before she is on the level of Izuku.

"T-Thanks," Melissa blushed again, could she be falling for him. It's easy to do so, but it seems like Izuku is eyeing her as well. 'No, probably not. I am just over thinking things.' Melissa thought as she saw Izuku leave for the elevator with his partner. She needs to head to the nurse and Izuku did tell her to do so, but she does want to see him fight. Melissa decided against her better judgment to stay and watch the fight, Izuku watched her so it is only fair.

Izuku and Shoji arrived at the new building, they moved to the new one since the old one was destroyed thanks to Melissa. "Do you want to look at the blueprints of the building?" Shoji asked him and Izuku nodded his head. He came over to the taller teen and saw the layout of the building. All it took for Izuku was a glance and once he saw it he looked away, Shoji was surprised that he took one look at the blue print.

"Do you need more time?"

"No, that one look is all that is needed. Trust me I will not forget what I saw. Also what is your quirk ability exactly?" Izuku asked him, he thought it best to get a good idea of what his partner could do.

"It's called Dupil Arms, it allows me to reproduce any of his body parts, including ears, eyes, mouths, hands and so on my tentacles." Izuku nodded his head, a very interesting quirk that is perfect for scouting, but it won't be necessary for him.

"Interesting, I would like to see more of your quirk one day, but for now...allow me to handle this alone." Shoji was shocked to say the least, he didn't expect Izuku to say that. The tone that his voice took, he was positive that he could do all of this by himself.

"Are...Are you sure?" Izuku didn't take a second to even register what Shoji said, all he did was nod his head and look at the helmet.

The Taskmaster helmet, the one gifted to him by All For One. Izuku pressed himself, he closed his eyes and put the helmet to his forehead, it had been some time since he had last worn this helmet. He fears that one day he will return to the soldier that he once was, but in order to move on he must accept that this mask must come with him.

"The Match will now begin!" Izuku heard the alarm and that meant the start of the match. The teen opened his emerald eyes and removed the helmet from his forehead. He put it on, locking the skull helmet in place. He had officially become the Taskmaster once again. Shoji actually felt a chill go down his spine when he saw the helmet lock in place. There was something just so...frightening to it.

Izuku walked in the building alone, he told Shoji to stay where he was. He would get this done quickly, then he came to check on Melissa at the nurses office. The students and others in observation didn't understand why Shoji was not going with Izuku, but All Might knew why.

He had heard their entire conversation and maybe he should've told Izuku to take Shoji with him, but he didn't. He won't make excuses, but this might be his only opportunity to see what the skill super soldier truly is. They must be good if his nemesis had turned children into weapons, but how good is the question.

Izuku was on the second floor now, he climbed the first row stairs facing no trouble at all. He figured that it wouldn't be long before Ojiro came after him, he was the most likely choice since he was the best fighter.

When he continued to walk down the hallway he found the stairs to the third floor and before he put his foot on the first step he was hit. A piece of 2x4 hit his back causing pieces of wood to splatter everywhere. Izuku stopped moving when he felt the impact, he turned around to see the shattered pieces of the wood, but no Ojiro.

No, this wasn't Ojiro, using a piece of wood would not be his style. He saw his costume. The tailed teen was more of a judo practitioner or even a fighter in the style of karate, but he was not the type to use a crude weapon like that. This was someone else, this was Toru.

"Toru," Izuku announced aloud, but as expected he was met with silence. Toru took his foot off the step, he switched to thermal scans on his helmet, but not so surprisingly he found her.

She was moving right in front of her and tried to strike him. Izuku simply deflected her punch and just bye him doing that made the invisible girl stop. She back up cautiously, but the visor of Izuku's helmet made it seem like he was directly at her, unfortunately for her he was.

"I see you." Toru widened her eyes and tried to escape, but Izuku just simply aimed his left arm at the running teen. He bent his wrist down and fired a dart, when the dart struck Toru a green electric current could be seen and the next thing Toru felt beside a jolt of electricity was her body hitting the ground. Taskmaster had taken down one and he knew for a fact that she was not getting up, now it was time for Ojiro.

Izuku turned around walking back upstairs to continue his hunt for Ojiro, the last and final hero. He did not have to wait long to find him, the moment he arrived on the third floor Ojiro was already waiting for him. He was standing right in the center of the hallway with his eyes aimed directly at the super soldier.

"Ouuu, this looks like a showdown from a comic book." Denki was geeking out as he watched Izuku just stand there. The teen was cold as ice as stood face to face with Ojiro. Ojiro didn't expect to see only Izuku, he expected that Shoji would be here as well, but it was only him.

"Let me put your mind at ease, Shoji is not with us. I am the only one here." Izuku relaxed Ojiro to a degree, the tailed teen could not be fully relaxed because he was still going up against Izuku. He doesn't know what he could, he sees everyone else's quirk, but not Izuku. He's not sure anyone knows what it is. In order to win this he will have to be on A game.

"Shall we begin then," Izuku offered Ojiro to start the match first, giving him the first blow in a manner of speaking. Ojiro narrowed his eyes and then charged at Izuku at full speed, the tailed teen dove forward with his foot aimed forward. Izuku saw the attack coming and caught his foot with both hands, he then turned and tossed him into the wall.

Ojiro back crashed into the wall, but Izuku was not done as he appeared in front. Ojiro saw Izuku's right fist coming right for his face and rolled out of the way at the last second. The super soldier fist made a hole in the hole, his fist did that. Ojiro was breathing hard already, he was nearly taking out right there and if he was not careful he would be done for.

Ojiro steady his breathing and rose up, he then dashed to Izuku. When he got close Ojiro began to combat Izuku, he threw all sorts of combinations at the super soldier, but nothing was working. Izuku was blocking, deflecting, and even parrying them all. He was too quick, too skilled, and much better than Ojiro. But what Izuku didn't notice was the tail sneaking under him, the large limb wrapping itself around his foot. When he did feel it he looked down and Ojiro smiled, but he was getting ahead of himself.

Izuku struck Ojiro in the stomach with a quick punch that stunned the tailed teen, he then got behind him and grabbed the back of his ki with his right hand. Everyone watching them proceeded to widen their eyes when they saw nothing more so than Katsuki. Izuku with Ojiro's gi in his left hand spun in the exact same manner as Katsuki using his explosions when he fought Melissa. Izuku spun and tossed Ojiro into the wall. The teen back was sent to the wall with a thunderous impact. Izuku looked at Ojiro, he was still up, but not for much longer.

Izuku made a fist with his right hand and cocked it back, he then bent his knees and All Might and even Melissa recognized what he was doing. That stance and formation, it was their Detroit Smash. All Might had known that Izuku could copy anyone's fighting style, but to see it first hand it was something else.

"Detroit...Smash." Izuku drove his right fist into the face of Ojiro, the tailed hero stood no chance against as his eyes became pure white the fist made impact with his face. Izuku pushed Ojiro deeper into the wall, the already spider-like web feathers that surrounded the hole deepened thanks to Izuku's fist.

The teen backed away from the wall to see Ojiro down for the count, the body of the teen fell out of the hole crashing face first into the ground. Izuku then proceeded to walk away from him and headed to the bomb room, he saw the nuclear bomb. The battle was over the moment Izuku entered the building, but ti make it officially over he touched the bomb.

"Battle over...Heroes win." All Might did a well enough job to hide his shock, but it was still there. He had never seen anyone beside Melissa copy his move before and seeing do it...well, it just felt unnatural.

It was a perfect imitation of his Detroit Smash, down to the footing. All Might now saw why Hawks and Mirko had such trouble dealing with Izuku. If this is the power of just one super soldier, it makes All Might wonder. How powerful are the others?

To Class 1-A they just witnessed dominance on an epic proportion, Izuku...No, Ojiro and Toru never stood a chance against. The match was over before it even began. Izuku just...he was...no, he is just on another level. There was a need for All Might to ask who the MVP of the match was because everyone knew that it was Izuku.

Melissa was beyond shocked to say the least, seeing Izuku copy her and her uncle's move was something else. She still doesn't even know what his quirk is, but she now has an idea that it must be related to copying a person's move. She wonders what else he can do and it's just quirk related. That armor is built in it cause she can easily see that it is far more advanced than anyone in this class can have.

Melissa watched Izuku carry both Toru and Ojiro in both his arms, she only guessed that it was Toru on his arm for he looked to be carrying nothing. It didn't take long for Izuku and Shoji to arrive back at the observation and Izuku was surprised to see Melissa still there and still with a broken arm.

"I thought I told you to go to the nurse." Izuku reminded her and Melissa just rubbed her head with her one good arm sheepishly. Izuku sighed, this girl for however smart she is can also still be an idiot.

"Let's go." Izuku put both Toru and Ojiro down and grabbed Melissa. He put her over his shoulder and began to walk away from the class.

"Hey-Hey! Put me down!" Izuku ignored her complaints and just spoke to his teacher.

"All Might I will be taking Melissa to the nurse office." Izuku didn't even wait for an answer as he continued to walk with a complaining Melissa struggling to get out of his strong hold. Everyone just looked at the scene with a sweat-drop. Well, while Izuku took Melissa to get healed the rest of the battle matches began.

Later That Day

School was now over, students were heading home and the only two that were roaming were Izuku and Melissa. Izuku followed beside her, they were heading to the support labs. He had told Melissa that he would go with her to the labs to check out the tech that they had. Izuku turned his head to look at Melissa and she still had an angry pout on her face.

"Are you still angry from earlier?" Izuku asked her and Melissa's face flushed from embarrassment.

"Yes! What you did was utterly humiliating and embarrassing." Izuku rolled his eyes, this girl was just so annoying sometimes.

"Then you should have gone to the nurse's office originally." Izuku told her he had planned to join her there after his match. Melissa gave him a fake glare because she was angry at him for thinking that she would miss out on his first match.

"I didn't want to miss out on your match." Izuku actually felt touched by that, but he didn't show it. He just kept his stoic and cool face as they neared the lab.

"Whatever, be a child for all I care." Melissa made an angry face that did not fit her personality, she punched Izuku and to be honest the teen actually felt it. Melissa didn't use One For All, but that didn't mean that she was weak. Her body had been trained and built up to take the power of One For All.

"Ouch, what was that for?" Izuku asked with some anger.

"That was for carrying me through the halls to the nurses office and for being a jerk." Melissa huffed and walked ahead of him, leaving the teen behind her.

Izuku could still not see what she was mad about, it's not like they were dating or anything, but what he didn't know is that Melissa was freaking out because of that. She was beginning to think that Izuku was into her and thanks to his actions the whole school might think they are a thing.

'Uh, how am I going to explain this to dad when I talk to him.' Melissa arrived at the door for the support labs and Izuku arrived right next to her. The blonde quirk user opened the door, but had an unexpected result as a large explosion occurred blowing both back. Smoke was everywhere and groaning could be heard from Melissa and Izuku.

When the smoke cleared Izuku and Melissa were in a...uh interesting position to say the least. Izuku was flat on his back and Melissa was on top of him with her boobs pressed up right into his chest. Melissa opened her eyes and realized that she was on top of Izuku, she looked at the teen's to see that he noticed their precarious position and he noticed.

"That's three that you owe me." Izuku was keeping count of the times that he saved Melissa, this being the third time since the other two were back at the exam. Melissa's face turned a bright red color and she quickly got up from the soldier's chest. This was even more embarrassing than being carried by him. Was there no end to her embarrassment?

"Damn, I used too much again." Izuku and Melissa heard the comment from inside the room. They looked at each other and the look that Izuku gave Melissa was basically asking her if she was alright. Melissa nodded her head and both teens made their way inside to see a pink haired curl standing at a desk that she was putting out with a fire extinguisher.

"Hey," Melissa called out to the girl and she turned around, just by looking at her Izuku and Melissa for that matter noticed that her eyes were different. Both figured that it had something to do with her quirk whatever that may be.

"Oh, sorry about the mess. What can I do for you?" The mysterious girl asked the two teens. Melissa smiled and greeted her with her name and did the same for Izuku.

"Hi, my name is Melissa and this is Izuku. We are part of hero class 1-A and we were wondering if we could use your support lab for our gear?" Izuku gave her nod for a greeting, but Mei smiled at him nonetheless. Now as for her question she was perfectly fine with letting them use the lab.

"Yeah, it's ok with me. I don't own it, but I do spend most of my time here working on my babies." Izuku raised an eyebrow when he heard that word, he looked at Melissa and saw her still smiling and nodding to her alone. He figured since she is an inventor that she would often call her invention babies.

"Thanks and we promise we won't bother you while you are working. Oh, by the way. What is your name? We didn't quite catch it."

"Name is Mei, Mei Hatsume." Melissa smiled and raised her hand to shake the hands of Mei. Mei shook it and welcomed Melissa and Izuku to the support labs, and with the introductions done both teens left Mei to clean up her mess.

"Well she is...interesting." Melissa laughed when she heard that comment from Izuku. Yes, Mei does seem to have some quirky traits that are not found in normal people, but being different is what makes her an inventor.

"Yes, well that is something that we will have to get used to."

"We?" Izuku asked, since when did he become part of this. Melissa looked at him with a big smile on her face.

"Yup, you and I, Izu." Izuku paused when he heard his name be called like that, no one but Emi has called him by some pet name and for some reason he was not mad at being called that by Melissa. Izuku felt his face get a little warm and turned it to the side, to hide his embarrassment and flustered cheek from Melissa. She was all close looking at him with those teal eyes of hers and with that goofy smile.

"Whatever," Izuku grumbled as both friends made their way outside the building. Melissa smiled at him as both kept on walking down the hallways, the sun was starting to set giving the sky an orange color.

Two best friends walked down the hallway, a symbolic way of showing that they were going to soon take a long journey of self discovery, but both were going to do it together. Unknown to them dark forces are moving in the shadow, dark forces that they will soon have to face.

Elsewhere

"Is everything ready for tomorrow?" A figure asked a man that was basically made of shadows. The shadowy figure had yellow eyes as he nodded to the man in front of him. Seeing this confirmation gave the figure a smile as everything would soon begin and end for the Symbol Of Peace.

"Then come tomorrow the Symbol Of Peace will die by the hands of the Anti-Symbol Of Peace. HAHAHAHAHAHA!" A maniacal laughter filled the room as the figure was already counting his victory. Izuku will soon get his wish. He wants to find his brother well so that it won't be hard for one of his siblings to become him.

Soon the battle for USJ will commence and Class 1-A will have its first take in battling villains, but not only that. The long awaited reunion between two brothers will also happen. Two super soldiers will do battle for Taskmaster and Painkiller will be going head to head.

To be Continued

Chapter 8: Worst Field Trip Ever

AN: So I hoped that you enjoyed this chapter. Izuku has shown his dominance to Class 1-A and they can now see that Izuku is just levels above what they originally thought. There are two big take aways from this chapter, one is the Izuku and Melissa moment that we had. You can see that their relationship and friendship is growing and developing well. Also for people PM me about when the lemon is coming, please stop.

The lemon will come when it's ready and when they are ready to take that next level. it's not about sex with these two or me. Sex is all good and great, but a relationship is about a bond between two humans and that is what this. You can see a bond that is going to go through it's up and down these two characters will have figure who they are and what they want from each other.

Second take away is the Enforcer from the HPSC. If read the manga then you know what an Enforcer and if you hadn't then I am sorry I spoiled that and Lady Nagant, but any way. I might or might not be teasing that Izuku will become an Enforcer, he has the skills necessary and as he said he has done the hit man work before. But that was something that I wanted to foreshadow.

Who knowns maybe the HSPC can give Izuku answers that he might not know about the SS program and answers to why Melissa mother was killed by All For One. Oh, I might be saying to much. Anyway I hoped that you enjoyed the chapter peace out.
