"He got over seven thousand meters?!" someone yelled. "Yes! A hero-like record!" Uraraka cheered, happy for her classmate.

"He had a strange Quirk in the entrance exam, and it seemed to cause his limbs to swell up as well" Iida said.

"It's not very stylish," Yuga said. Katsuki was smirking. 'Suck on that you fucking extras!' He thought back to the teachers and students in both elementary and middle school. 'Wherever they are, I hope they're upset!'

LEAGUE OF VILLAIN BASE

All For One relished in the screams of the school guidance counselor who dared to lay a finger on his precious son. He had been torturing him for weeks. Every scream was music to his ears. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end sooner or later. "Now then, I tire of you. Your Quirk of calming people isn't useful to what I have planned. Therefore, it is time for you to die." He called in Tomura, his student in villianly. "Please touch all five fingers of your left hand on what remains of his left foot." He asked. "Yes Sensei!" the manchild stated through the radio. "His Quirk causes matter to disintegrate when he touches something with all five fingers of one of his hands," All For One then radioed him again. "Make sure to make it as slow as possible."

BACK TO UA

"Is your finger alright?" Uraraka asked. "Uhh, yeah..." Izuku said. "Bull fucking shit Deku! It's broken!" Bakugou shouted. "I- it'll heal. I-I heal fast." 'And that's another thing about that Quirk' he thought to himself.

FLASHBACK; Just a few days after Izuku's Quirk manifested.

"Your Quirk's so cool Kaachan! I wish mine was too!" The four year old Katsuki turned. "Your Quirk scares the hell out of me Deku. It's already better than mine!" That brought Izuku up short. "It's s- scary?" HIs friend whimpered.

"Don't worry! It's not nearly as scary as your dad when he's angry!"

FLASHBACK END

Izuku fought through the pain in the next few exercises. By the final one, however, his finger was back to normal! 'That didn't take long! Maybe it's because of the size of the wound?'

After all of the tests were done, Aizawa had them all stand in front of him. "Alright, time for your test scores. It's too much of a hassle to explain one at a time, so they'll all be shown at once." Izuku noticed that he got 14th place! 'Oh thank goodness!' he thought. Last place went to someone named Toru. "By the way, I was lying about the expulsion thing." their teacher said as he turned off the hologram. Stunned silence resulted. "It was a rational threat to draw out the maximum power of your Quirks." he said, smiling in a creepy way. "We're done here. There are handouts with information back in the classroom." he he said in a monotone while walking away. "Oh, Midoriya, have the nurse fix your finge-" he stopped when Izuku held up his (now fully healed) finger. "I heal fast Sensei. It's part of my Quirk." He nodded. "Very well."

Aizawa turned when he heard a familiar voice. "Aizawa you liar!" "So you were watching All Might?" he asked. "Do you have too much time on your hands?" he mentally chuckled at the joke. "That's mean! It's just as mean as your lie about expulsion! After all, you completely cut out last year's class for not having potential! Obviously you think this whole class has potential, especially the potential of the green-haired kid."

"You seem to be supporting him quite a bit. Now, I don't know why, but a teacher shouldn't show favorites. And I didn't expel him because he had more than zero potential. That's it."

"I'm so hungry…" Izuku muttered to himself, plodding along. Healing his wounds had made his Quirk desire more food, so he wanted to get home and eat something his mother made. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, and had to mentally fight down the tendrils. "I originally thought that Mr. Aizawa was one of the best heroes, since he's going to be teaching us. However, I don't think a teacher should lie!" 'I see. Iida's not scary. He's just ernest!' "Hey! Wait up! You're going to the station right?"

"Hey, you're the infinity girl". Iida said. "My name is Uraraka Ochaco!" she replied. "You're Iida Tenya, and you're Deku Midoriya right?"

"'Deku!?'" Izuku shouted out loud.

"Huh? But that's what that explosion boy called you right?" She asked.

"That's his nickname for me. It's based on a different way of writing my name. In return, I get to call him 'Kaachan.' My real first name is Izuku." Izuku said.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Although it sounds a bit like the word for 'You can do it!'." Izuku blushed. "I think that's what he means. We've been friends since we were little," Izuku stammered.

"OY! Wait up!" And speak of the devil and he shall appear.

"Kaachan!" Izuku shouted. "Wanna walk with us?" Uraraka asked.

"Sure!" the blond boy said.

"You seem… more civil." Iida said.

"HEY! I can be friendly!" he screamed. "Ahh. There it is." Uraraka chuckled.

"Why you!" Izuku laughed, the hunger now pushed to the back of his mind.

The curriculum of UA was different then most schools. For example, there was English, which was taught by Present Mic. And then there was lunch. The cafeteria served gourmet food for incredibly low prices! Izuku had to physically restrain himself from geeking out over Lunch Rush, the teacher and pro hero who ran the cafeteria. And then, in the afternoon they had Basic Hero Training.

Izuku sat down for the first Hero class. "I AM" Everyone turned to see… "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" "It's All MIght!"

"Wow he really is a teacher!"

"That's his Silver Age Style."

"This is giving me goosebumps!"

"I TEACH BASIC HERO TRAINING! IT'S HOW YOU ALL TRAIN IN BASIC HEROIC LESSONS! AND TODAY, WE WILL BE DOING COMBAT TRAINING!" Izuku paled while Bakugou gave a grin. "AND THAT'S NOT ALL!" he said, pointing to a wall. The wall split, revealing several panels. Each one had a number. "THESE ARE YOUR HERO COSTUMES! EACH ONE WAS DESIGNED BASED ON YOUR PREFERENCES!"

"Costumes!" Izuku mumbled to himself. "NOW THEN, GET CHANGED AND HEAD TO TRAINING GROUND BETA!"

"THEY SAY THE CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BE AWARE... FOR NOW ON YOU ARE HEROES!" He took a look around. "YOU ALL LOOK AMAZING! NOW THEN, FOLLOW ME!"

FLASHBACK

Izuku was panicking. He had the costume we wanted planned out, but he needed to register his Quirk. "I'm already registered as 'none', as my Quirk came the night after I was sent to the doctor…" he said to himself. He then proceeded to call All Might. "Quirk Registration?" he asked. "You can update that."

"Y- you can?!" All Might chuckled. "Your Quirks are examined throughout you scholl career. Speaking of that, why was your Quirk never registered?"

"T-they only looked for the extra toe joint." There was a silence. "THAT'S IT?!" Izuku held the phone away from his ear. "I -I know that that isn't the end of it. A- after all, my Dad has the extra joint, but he still has his Quirk!"

"Anyways, sometimes people learn new things about their Quirks, and thus they're allowed to update them." Izuku nodded. "Thank you so much!"

"They probably won't accept outrageous changes but if you were listed as Quirkless you'd probably be fine."

"Thanks!" he hung up and then called his father. "Hey Dad! I'm going to the city hall to update my Quirk status!" Izuku heard his father chuckle. "It's about time. I'm glad my company looks beyond the toe joint."

"Yeah! All Might agreed as well!" His father snorted. "What should I call it?" he asked. "Well, I have an idea. It's from an old video game I liked to play as a child, and one that's still relevant today. Let's call it… Blacklight."

FLASHBACK END

"Deku!"

"U- Uraraka!" And then he noticed her outfit. "I like your costume! It's really down to Earth!" she said, before looking at her own. "I should've filled out a design though. It's just a skintight bodysuit." she muttered. A nasally voice piped up. "This hero course is the best."

Meanwhile All Might took a look at Izuku's costume. It had several noticeable features. 'S- so obvious' he thought. "ALL RIGHT! IT'S TIME FOR COMBAT TRAINING!"

"Sensei!" Izuku noticed that the suit of armor was Iida. He looked cool. "Will we be trying out urban combat again?" All Might shook his head. "I'M TWO STEPS AHEAD OF YOU! WHILE MOST VILLAIN BATTLES HAPPEN OUTSIDE, THE WORST VILLAINS WILL RETREAT INDOORS! THEREFORE, WE WILL BE WORKING ON INTERNAL BATTLES! THE CLASS SHALL BE SPLIT INTO TEAMS OF TWO! TWO TEAMS WILL FIGHT! ONE WILL BE HEROES AND THE OTHER WILL BE VILLIANS!" One of Izuku's classmates (Tsuyu if he remembered correctly) asked "Without basic training?"

All Might laughed. "WE ARE DOING THIS TO TEACH YOU THE BASICS! THIS IS NO FIGHT AGAINST ROBOTS YOU CAN BEAT UP! YOU'LL BE FIGHTING EACH OTHER!" Immediately questions started pouting in.

"What determines victory?"

"Can we still beat people up?"

"Will the punishment for failure be expulsion?"

"How will we be split up?"

"Isn't this cape wonderful?" All Might grumbled. "I SHALL ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS!" He pulled out a booklet. "A script?!" Izuku shouted.

"The villains have a 5-story building as their layer and have a nuclear weapon hidden there. The heroes are trying to disarm it. The heroes have to get to the device or capture the villains within an allotted time limit. The villains need to protect the nuke! They will also win if they manage to catch both of the heroes! Teams will be decided by drawing lots!"

"Teams are decided that haphazardly?!" Iida shouted. "Pros need to work with whoever they can, and that's usually random. Maybe that's why?" Izuku asked. "I see. I apologize for my rudeness!" "IT'S OK! NOW LET'S GET STARTED!"

Izuku got the first pick of the names. 'Now, I wonder who I'll be with," he thought as he grabbed a name. 'Well that makes things… interesting.' He thought. "TEAM A IS IZUKU MIDORIYA AND KATSUKI BAKUGOU!" At this Katsuki collapsed and let out a squeaking sound. "That is disrespectful towards your teammate!" Iida shouted.

"HEY! I'm just fucking RELIEVED at my pickings! We're gonna win! I got the most powerful out of all of us as out ally!" That stunned everyone. "More powerful than you?" Yuga asked. The rest of the students expected the explosive blond to cuss, but instead they saw him nod. "Trust me, his Quirk is the second scariest thing you'll ever see!"

"And the first?" Yuga mocked. "Izuku's father when he's angry." Bakugou finished.

Izuku chuckled. "You're still afraid of my dad Kaachan?"

"Of fucking course! You saw the look of murder in his eyes when Dokite-Sensei said to his face that you were nothing but trash! He looked like he was restraining himself from killing him right there! And I swear I heard him repeating 'I can't kill him yet'!"

All Might looked a little pale at that. "EEERR, WELL, NEXT!" The teams were interesting. Iida was with Uraraka, Yugo was with Mina, and there seemed to be a strange pattern towards it, but Izuku just couldn't put his finger on it. "AND THE FIRST TWO TEAMS FIGHTING WILL BE…" All Might said as he rustled through the boxes. "TEAM A AS HEROES AND TEAM D AS VILLIANS! EVERYONE ELSE PLEASE HEAD TO THE MONITOR ROOM!" As everyone left, Izuku turned to look at his teammate. Kaachan was giving him a look of determination. Izuku managed to stop his hands from shaking and returned the look with a look of his own. Kaachan looked surprised before a smirk settled on his face. "THE VILLAIN TEAM WILL HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO SET UP! AFTER THAT THE HERO TEAM WILL ENTER AND THE BATTLE WILL START!" All Might instructed. "Yes sir!" All four students said. "YOUNG IIDA! YOUNG URARAKA! LEARN TO THINK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF VILLAINS! THIS IS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE REAL THING! GO ALL OUT! DON'T BE AFRAID TO GET HURT!" From beside Izuku, Bakugou leaned into Izuku's ear. "Please don't." he asked of his friend. Izuku looked insulted. "Like I would do that!" he said. Unfortunately Iida heard him. "IF THINGS GO TO FAR, I WILL STOP IT!" Both Izuku and his friend breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if this is training, it pains me to play a villian." Iida said to his partner. "So our job is to protect this thing?" he asked, pounding on it. "I see. It's paper mache."

"Hey! Iida! How do you think we'll do?" Uraraka asked her partner. "Well we're up against Bakugou, so he'll probably want to dive in headfirst. I do believe you can counteract that."

"And Izuku?" she asked. "He mentioned that it would be foolish if he went all out. I wonder why that is." Iida said, hand on his chin. "Because he breaks his bones if he does?" Uraraka replied. "His friend seemed… nervous about the possibility of him going all out. Was he worried about Izuku's health?"

Meanwhile, Izuku and Katsuki were trying to memorize the floor plan. "Wow this is fucking tough!" The explosive teen said to his friend. "Who knew that memorizing floor plans would be difficult! At least there's no worry about expulsion so we can relax- WHAT THE FUCK DEKU?!" The last part was because his friend was a nervous wreck. "I-it's just… we're up against friends and I don't want to hurt them… what if I lose control? What if the scent of blood makes me go crazy?! What if-"

Bakugou slapped his friend with the back of his hand. "STOP WHINING DAMN IT!" he shouted. He then took a deep breath. "Come on Deku, you're not going to lose control! If Muto didn't end up devoured then they won't!" he laughed. He knew his friend had enough self control. "Y-yeah. I guess. But still, we're up against Iida and Uraraka. We'll have to be on our guard." Katsuki nodded. "We'll have to look up." he summarized.

"ALRIGHT! THE FIVE MINUTES ARE UP! IT'S TIME TO START!" All Might announced. Meanwhile, inside the observation room, All MIght spoke to the students. "Now then, everyone, you should all think about what's going on as well."

Izuku and Bakugou decided to go through a window on the second floor. "Hoo boy. That was intense!" Bakugou said. Izuku had activated his Quirk, grabbed Bakugou in a fireman's carry and jumped onto the ledge. He had then proceeded to hang on while his friend opened the window. "Be careful! There are a lot of blind spots!" Izuku whispered. "You're the nerd. What next?" Katsuki asked.

"Keep looking up." Izuku said. 'I can't control One for All and I don't want to risk using Blacklight as it might just kill Iida and Uraraka'. "So Deku, did you ever write anything on indoor battles in your notebooks?" His friend asked. "Yes, and I'm trying to remember them." he replied. And then he heard the sound of a motor. "GET DOWN!" he yelled, dragging his friend to the floor just before the wall caved in due to a kick from Iida. "Are you alright?!" Izuku asked his friend.

"Yeah! I'll go on ahead! You handle Iida!" With that Katsuki blew a hole in the wall and started searching a little more… aggressively. Meanwhile Iida got back up. "I have found you pesky heroes! You will not stop my evil pla-" Izuku punched him in the gut. "Word of advice, talking isn't a free action," His father had drummed that into his head when he said he wanted to be a hero. Another explosion rang out as Bakugou went through another wall. "Surrender and you will be destroyed painlessly-" and then Izuku kicked him in the chest, exactly where he had punched him.

"Are we going to monologue or fight?!" he shouted.

As he was fighting Iida, Izuku was thinking about growing up with Kaachan living close by. 'We lived in the same neighborhood so we knew each other before we got our Quirks. He was a leader of several of the kids. Good or bad, he was always confident- unless it involved anything to do with my dad,' The only person Kaachan was afraid of (with the possible exception of him) was Izuku's father. Izuku was pretty sure that his dad was the main factor of the two of them staying friends. After all, Kaachan swore that his dad had to have been a villain before meeting his mom, because according to him 'no one should have an evil glare as powerful as his!' And then Iida decided to try to roundhouse him. Izuku crouched, avoiding the kick.

Meanwhile, All Might had just finished the description of the capture tape. "Man, Izuku's doing so well! He's going against the guy who placed second without using his Quirk!" someone said. 'I see. He's really good at observation. I remember reading some of his notes. His fan boyish tendencies are paying off!' All Might thought to himself.

Izuku knew he needed to buy Kaahcan some time, so he activated his Quirk to sprint around a corner. 'All right, Iida will probably follow me. After all, he knows that chasing Kaachan wouldn't be a good idea. Like him, Kaachan is best suited for close range fighting, and he got first place in the entrance exam. While Iida got second place he probably thinks that Kaachan's explosions will get to him before he could subdue him.'

Meanwhile, Bakugou blew a door off of its hinges to get to the stairwell. "All right, Deku should have things under control. Now all I need to do is find Round-Face and take her out. Then I have to touch the nuke and we win!" He primed his hands and used his explosions to propel himself up the stairs. He thought back to how, during preschool he thought he was the best. Hisashi put a stop to that.

FLASHBACK

"DEKU! WHERE ARE YOU?!" a four year-old Katsuki shouted. No response. "Stop hiding you wimp!" he screamed. It was in the afternoon and the nerd wasn't following him! He was supposed to praise him! "DEKU!" he shouted, tiny pops going off. "Now now, there's no reason for that." Katsuki turned and saw Deku's loser father. He only had a fire breathing Quirk! "Hey! Dragonbreath! Where's your shitty son?!" he shouted, finger pointed at the man. "Is that really the way you talk to your friends?" Hisashi Midoriya asked.

"Deku's nothing to me! He's just a useless, Quirkless fool playing at wanting to be a hero!" That was the worst thing he could've said. Hisashi's face turned into a furious snarl. And then he had this presence. It was only for a microsecond, but Katsuki felt like death itself was glaring down upon him, ready to end his life. The man grabbed him by the shirt and hoisted him into the air, eye to eye with him. "Let me go!" Katsuki screamed, using his Quirk. The man didn't flinch. "I'll have you know that my brother was Quirkless," the man said, his tone neutral. Bakugou saw right through it. The look promised pain. It promised an unholy demise. "He wanted to be a hero, too. And do you know what happened? He got his wish," Hisashi's teeth were clenched. "He became the world's greatest hero at the time. And then he died a hero. So, when you grind those without a Quirk into the ground, most of me is begging you to continue, so I can make you live that nightmare," He snarled. And in that moment, Katsuki believed him. He believed that Izuku's dad could and would take his Quirk away if he continued being a bully. "Remember this talk, Katsuki," He spat the name like a curse. "Because if this happens again, I won't give you another warning," He then proceeded to drop him to the ground. "Now go apologize."

FLASHBACK END

Katsuki blew another hole in the wall. 'And then came that day…' he thought. 'The day when Izuku showed what he could do. When he proved me wrong. He was just a late bloomer. And then, the very next day after that…'

FLASHBACK

"Did you hear? Deku doesn't have a Quirk!" The preschoolers were gathered around the nearly catatonic Izuku. Katsuki was further away, still terrified of what had happened the previous night.

"What? That's possible?"

"Yeah, it's called being Quirkless!"

"That's so lame!" He turned to his friend. Katsuki growled at the other preschoolers. "You're wrong! I know it!" he shouted. His teacher chuckled. "I know you're trying to support your friend Katsuki but there's no reason to get his hopes up like that. After all, according to the medical records he has an extra toe joint!" Chuckles erupted.

"His dad has one to and he breathes fire!" was his response. His teacher laughed. "He's probably trying to make his son feel better! It's a wasted effort if you ask me!"

A few days later, he was leading his friends through the forest when he slipped on a log and fell into the river. And then Deku came there offering his hand. He really didn't want to take it, fearing that those awful tendrils would appear. And he was shaking, obviously afraid that they would as well. "K-kaachan? A-are you alright?" he asked. Now, Katsuki was tempted to slap the hand away but he remembered the warning Izuku's dad had told him. So he swallowed his pride and accepted it.

FLASHBACK END

'It it was a damn good thing I did' he thought to himself. And then he turned a corner, feeling too happy in memory lane to explode the wall. And there it was. He saw the nuke. Uraraka was looking around as the explosions had ceased. He stepped out into the open. "Hello Uraraka." He cooly said. She immediately turned around and brought her hands into that release sign she did. He proceeded to lift his hand up and blow up the debris that she would've brought down on him.

Meanwhile Izuku ducked from another kick from the now-maniacally laughing Iida. 'He's really getting into the role!' Izuku thought to himself, before activating his Quirk again and running around another corner. "You cannot run from me Izuku! My Quirk is based on speed and stamina! You will tire, and you will be caught! BWA HA HA HA HA!". His actions were causing Izuku to sweatdrop.

'Man this guy's acting like those villains from Dad's old movies!' He ran through the maze-like area. "Kaachan! How are things going?"

"Not well!" came the response. "Uraraka littered the floor with debris!" 'Shit.'

"Kaachan, hold on! I'm coming!"

"You won't be going anywhere!" Iida shouted, sprinting around the corner. Izuku then proceeded to duck, only to get a facefull of Iida's boot. "So what now, little hero?" he sneered.

"DEKU! I heard that through the radio! Kick his ass and get up here!"

"But I might kill him!" Izuku cried out.

"Then focus on the kicking of his ass, not the eating of his ass!" That gave Iida pause. "W-what?!" he stammered. Izuku saw what was going on, so he dashed towards his friend, claws out. "W-what are those!?" Iida shouted, hands up to instinctively protect his face. Izuku then swiftly brought out the capture tape, and wrapped it around Iida. "You lose," he deadpanned to his friend before rushing off.

In the monitor room, All Might almost had a heart attack. 'T-that face! T-that tone! I-It's so similar to his face and tone…'

Izuku sprinted to the stairs, following the blasted walls. 'I don't have much time!' he thought. "Kaachan I'm coming!" he shouted into the radio.

"GOOD!" was the response. Izuku coiled his legs and lept through the stairwell, arriving at the scene. Uraraka paled at the sight of the claws. "W-what?! T-that's not part of your Quirk!" she shouted. Izuku rushed at her, eyes dead.

'T-those eyes! N-no way!' Toshinori mentally screamed. Was there a connection? There had to be one!

Uraraka dive-rolled out of Izuku's way, the claws missing her by inches. "GOT IT!" And then she saw that Bakugou managed to grab the nuke. "THE HERO TEAM WINS!" All Might yelled over the radio.
