(This chapter reveals some truths behind One For All, and explains on how and why Izuku was able to get this new and 'in case of emergency' quirk. This chapter will contain some spoilers for the manga, specifically chapters 212 and 213 I think, but it may be a chapter close after that. The authors note at the end will explain more of what's going on)

(Also fuck the guy who said my story was good until the 'wing' part and called that gay. Maybe wait to see what happened before talking shit. That might sound rude but rude reviews/messages get rude replies. It be like that sometimes)

When Izuku opened his eyes, he was met with pure black yet again. He sat up with a groan, and realized he had been laying on the floor. Why was he here again? Where were…his classmates?!

His chest tightened as he started to hyperventilate, panic, worry, and dread taking control over the fact he had no one idea what happened. He remembered fighting the Nomu, getting hurt, meeting a red figure in this very room, and then…nothing. Nothing!

A hand was placed on his shoulder, and he screamed in fear before whipping to see who it was. The sight shocked him greatly.

It was the figure from before, only instead of being red, it was an actual person this time. It was a male that stood at six feet four inches at least, with red spikey hair and red horns that stood high above his hair. He had no shirt on, revealing a toned and muscular chest and stomach, which was riddled with nasty scars of varying size and shape. He did have black pants of some kind on him, allowing him to have some decency.

The man stared at Izuku with glowing red eyes, no longer yellow like before.

"Greetings ninth user. I wasn't expecting us to meet so soon." The man greeted with a deep and rough voice, and bowed to be formal.

'Ninth user? Was…Was he a former user of One For All?'

"W-Where am I? And who are you?" Izuku asked as the man stood tall once more. The man smiled at him.

"Simple questions deserve simple answers, just does difficult questions deserve difficult answers." The man said cryptically. "The where is easy: we are currently inside of your mind. Your fight with that creature injured you greatly and severely, but you are still alive thankfully. You are currently resting inside of a hospital room."

"S-So the creature, it was defeated right? My friends are okay?"

"Yes, and yes. The eighth user showed up and was able to defeat the creature. After that reinforcements arrived to help with the other villains. The one with hands and the one with mist both got away. You have been unconscious ever since." The man informed. "And yes, your friends are all alright. Some were injured, but nothing serious such as yourself."

A happy sigh escaped Izuku's lips, and a wobbly smile formed. He was beyond happy right now, knowing that he had been able to help protect his friends.

His head thumped again at the mention of the word 'protect', and he groaned in pain while holding onto his head. He felt the man touch his head, and almost immediately, the pain went away.

"Try not thinking about the P word for now, it'll only cause you greater pain."

"B-But why? And-And you never answered my second question! Who are you?!"

"The who is a bit more complicated, but I shall try to answer it and the rest of your questions as easily as I can." The man informed. "I am a former holder of our shared power: One For All. I was one of the early users, but the exact number escapes me."

He…He was a former One For All user? There was no way! All Might had never told him about having visions of previous users! And even if he was real, why was he in Izuku's head?

"I can see the doubt in your eyes, so allow me to explain further of everything that has happened." The man pleaded. "My quirk is called Dragon: it is a transformation type quirk that has been in my family for generations. My father, his father, and so on have all had this quirk."

To prove his point the man concentrated, before a larger pair of wings sprouted from his back. They were giant and red, and appeared to be a normal set when compared to Izuku's since the mans wings had no openings. His hands were forming to red and scaly limbs as the horns on the top of his head thickened and grew. The four teeth on the inside of his mouth grew as well.

"Our quirks vary for each person. My father could shoot electricity, his father could shoot ice, his father shot scolding hot water, and so on. Our coloring, much like our attacks, change as well. I am red, my father was white and light blue, his father was purple, and so on."

Izuku tried his best to memorize all of this information. He only knew of one person with a dragon quirk, and that was the number nine ranked pro hero: Ryuko Tatsuma. To think that they varied as much as the man said they did, it was astounding.

"And you, ninth user, have managed to unlock it far before when you should have been able to. Quite strange, and yet quite fascinating."

"W-Wait! What do you mean 'unlock'? A-And why are you here?"

"As I have said, I shall try to answer to the best of my abilities. You see, vestiges of the eight previous users, including myself, are mixed into the 'core' of our power."

"One For All."

"Exactly. We have been living inside of this power all along. The core is small, but holds the power of every previous user. They are cultivated into this core, which is the source of our unbelievable strength. Like I stated, the powers of previous users are hidden here, and are unlocked when in great times of need." The man informed. "You were thinking about and wanting to protect your friends, correct? That was what you were thinking back then?"

It was. It was all Izuku could think about at the time, to protect and save his friends from certain doom and unimaginable pain.

"Well, the appropriate quirk for doing so was my dragon power. Those with dragon quirks vary in everything: attacks, thoughts, ideals, instincts, behaviors, etc. But we all share one thing: the need, the want, the desire to protect those close to us. You believed your friends to be in grave danger, and your passion and need to protect them managed to unlock my quirk. You should be happy, I may be biased, but I believe my quirk is one of the strongest in One For All."

"So…I have another quirk now? One that I can use whenever I want?" Izuku questioned, causing the man to let out a boisterous laugh.

"No." He answered bluntly. "You are still too far new to One For All, meaning that my quirk, along with the others, will not only cause more harm than good, but will be more difficult to control. You must remember my power, along with the others, are imbued with the growing and accumulated power of One For All. That means my quirk with you is far stronger than it was with me."

This was a lot to take in. So the previous holders of One For All were inside of Izuku's mind? And the quirks of the previous users were in him as well? This meant he had another, what, six or so powers to discover? That was too much! He already had OFA and his metal quirk, now he had a dragon quirk, and a potential six others!

"That doesn't mean you will never be able to use my quirk again; it just means you must train yourself and take control over your need to protect others. Our powers will respond to the emotions you feel. For example, if you're angry, the power you unlock or use at that moment will respond as such. But do not worry, my quirk will manifest again, that much I am sure. But it shall only in moments of true danger, in moments of life or death. So don't think it'll activate because some stupid spider is chasing one of your friends around!"

The man began to cough, and a black dust slowly began to swallow his body.

"It appears you're waking up. I apologize for not answering your questions well."

"N-No, you did. But I have so many more! How many other quirks do I have?! Why are there so many?! Why hasn't All Might told me about any of this?!"

"I am sorry, but we have no more time. Good luck ninth user, and please, continue to carry out the will of One For All! We shall always be with you!"

And then, everything turned white.

(Real world: hospital room)

Izuku's eyes fluttered open, and he flinched as the worlds bright light attacked him. Why the blind to his hospital room was beyond him. He used his left hand to rub the gunk out of his eye and yawned, still tired after being healed. He would've sat up, but froze when he saw a head laying on his stomach.

Jiro was sleeping soundly on his stomach, a small smile on her face as she dreamt and nuzzled against him. Some strands of her hair was covering her face like a curtain.

'Now that's a sight I wouldn't mind waking up to every morning.' He thought, hand twitching. Against his better judgement he reached out and brushed her hair out of her face.

Her eyes snapped open at that, and her eyes met Izuku's for a few seconds before they blushed at their position. She was quick to get off of him.

"Uh, h-hi?"

"H-Hey, sorry about that. S-Still tired from getting healed, must've fallen asleep." She stuttered, cheeks cherry red. As she spoke she twirled her earjack around her finger, more than likely as a reaction to being embarrassed.

It was beyond cute.

"I-It's okay. Um, w-why are you here?"

"Well, I ended up getting a concussion at the USJ. I was brought here to heal and woke up this morning. Yaoyorozu was waiting by my side, and she told me everything that happened. I asked her to bring me to your room, and I've been here ever since."

"Oh…wait, why did you wait for me how to wake up? And how long have we been here?"

"We've only been here a day since the USJ thing happened yesterday. I woke up at about...nine? After that I decided to chill out in here until you woke up, and ended up, you know…" She trailed off, blushing red from embarrassment again. She still couldn't believe she fell asleep on him! "As for the why did I wait…I wanted to say thank you."

"Oh! Uh, thanks? Can-Can I ask why?"

"You're serious?" She asked, surprised at the question. "Well you kinda, I don't know, saved my life? Don't you think that warrants a thank you?"

"N-No! I do! I just…wasn't expecting it?"

"What were you expecting? Me giving my 'hero' a kiss?" She questioned bluntly, unable to stop the snarky reply from escaping her lips. 'What the fuck did I just say?!'

'I mean…I wouldn't not want that. Who wouldn't want to get kissed by a cute girl?' He thought, cheeks turning pink at the thought of such a cute girl kissing him. His head tilted in confusion as she gasped at him, her own cheeks turning a dark red. "I said that out loud, didn't I?"

"C-Cute?" She asked, earjacks waving around erratically out of embarrassment. She grabbed onto them, and started tapping the ends against together in either embarrassment or thought.

'Yeah, definitely cute.' He made sure not to say out loud this time, and merely nodded as an answer. She screwed her eyes hut after that, before letting out a sigh.

Opening her eyes, which were filled with determination, she leaned down and ended up pecking the greenette's cheek, causing the teens cheeks to both catch on fire and turn a blood red. Izuku just stared dumbly at her with wide eyes.

"Thanks again." She voice cracked, before she was quick to exit the room, leaving the successor to All Might confused and flustered beyond belief. He didn't think she was serious! Now that he was complaining! She seemed nice and cool and cute and smelled nice and…and…did he like her? Did she like him?!

With a groan he scratched his head and decided to think over these thoughts later. For now, he wanted to rest, and think of excuses he could use regarding his new found powers.

(Secret Facility. Location: Unknown. Time: Unknown)

"Test subject 32 A appears to have a multitude of quirks. After running numerous tests we have discovered that the subject has a shock absorption and super regeneration quirk, a combination that proves deadly with its super speed and strength." A man in a lab coat said into a tape recorder as two other people, another male and female, jotted down notes while examining the Nomu.

After the Nomu was taken into police custody, some agents from an organization showed up and requested to take Nomu. While the led detective was reluctant, All Might had vouched for them and said they could be trusted. The agents promised to share any information they would find with the detective.

"What kind of sicko would make such a thing?" The other male questioned, before tapping on the class that encased the monster. Its eyes snapped onto the man, who jumped back in surprise.

"Our intel says a group known as the League of Villains are responsible for its creation. Apparently it was created to kill All Might." A gruff, male voice spoke from the shadows, causing the three to jump and turn around before saluting.

"Director." The three greeted as the sound of boots hitting metal got closer. Out of the shadows a figure approached and stopped just when their body from the waist down was revealed. The man wore black combat boots, black pants, and had a black trench coat.

"This motherfucker is a lot more intimidating up close." He stated. "And I heard a teen was strong enough to hold it back? Is that true?"

"It is Director." The woman informed, before tapping away at her iPad. A holographic screen popped up from it, showing a video of a green haired boy fighting the monster. "The teens name is Izuku Midoriya, a first-year student at UA. He was able to hold the creature off before All Might and other reinforcements arrived."

The Director nodded and continued watching the video, smirking to himself as he watched the teen fight. He was sloppy and head strong, but was a good enough fighter, especially with that shield of his. He was brave, and willing to do whatever it took to protect people. Just the qualities he was looking for.

"Keep an eye of him, and tell me when he does something of significance. He might just be what I've been looking for."

"Yes sir!"

(So some of you are confused as to why/how Izuku got his dragon quirk. You're probably thinking I made all of this up but no, SPOILERS, One For All does contain the quirks of previous users. In the manga Izuku is taking a test and fighting against class 1B. He wants to capture someone and then, bam, he unlocks a quirk that is supposed to help him do so. But he loses control and start breaking everything. No, it was not the dragon quirk in this story. I was actually inspired to do so by a popular fic called "What's In A Hoard" and decided to give him one, because as far as we know, he may have one anyway. His dragon quirk design is simple, its based off of a dragon from the game Monster Hunter World, and the dragon in question is called Valstrax. My friend in our discord suggested it to me, and I loved it. So yeah, here's the truth/reason why I did this. Also check out the story! It's a harem and I love it!)
