Greetings, this chapter was supposed to be released for Hallownest but I kinda got bored and wrote a lot more than I intended ... so here it is.

Stoneless chapter 8

Finally got to a chapter within a reasonable time. That's a plus for me. In other news, this is still one of my favorite stories.

Uh ... I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to take this as a "positive" review but okay, go on :)

pedropedrin chapter 8

What a PLOT TWIST
btw, it should be cannon that Recovery Girl's cane has a foil inside
...poor Old Might...

Lol, yes, I'm making this cannon for sure !

NyaNyaKittyFace chapter 8

Is it weird that I could somehow FEEL that Izuku was going to ask All for One to take the quirks? Now though, I have no idea what happens next. Will he refuse or will he give in to his previously mentioned hunger for other quirks? I'm leaning towards he'll have Izuku keep them. He wants Izuku safe and I feel like he'd vehemently refuse to purposefully make him weaker.

Now on to the creation of Nomu and what you said about quirks and souls. First the Nomu. If I remember right the Nomu are human that have has their bodies modified/altered in order to house multiple quirks for All for One to implant with them. Unfortunately, and luckily, we have not been shown how exactly they are altered.

Next about what you said about the Quirk Consciousness and Souls. Ok so I don't THINK that's quit right. My best example from BNHA would be One for All itself. Now please keep in mind that I absolutely SUCK at explaining my thought so PLEASE bare with me. It doesn't hold the souls of all the past wielder's, otherwise All Might's silhouette wouldn't be in it. No I think it's better to say that it holds small fragments of the previous wielders conscience. Those fragments then come together to form the collective consciousness of One for All. The best example of being done in comics is Rogue from the X-Men. It has been stated then ever she steals someone's powers she not only take the powers, but also a piece of the personality and consciousness with it. Storing it within herself and then unknowingly suppressing it.

Also, Mitsuki isn't an insensitive, uncaring, ASS like her son. She's actually quite polite, respectful, and understanding despite her short fuse and temper.

Lastly, IS RECOVERY GIRL ABOUT TO BLOW THE LID ON IZUKU?! (Sorry this review was so long)

It's okay without the review answering part this chapter is about 6856 words long (about 7654 with the RA part hahaha)

So yes, I was using the word soul to talk about the personalities as you said. I'm kinda abusing of the lore yes, but it just feels so right at the same time to have each previous holders present in OFA. I'm trying to explore this fact to make the interactions with AFO more interesting.

Now ... Daruma (the doctor) will not appear a lot in that story (mostly because I just saw the trailer for the next BNHA movie ... and honestly I think it's just going to be a movie about a small AFO killing everyone for no reason until Izuku Detroit smash his face or something) so the process of creating Nomus will not be explained (clearly)

Next Mitsuki ... (deep breath) This woman is simply the worst mother in the world, at least one person would have told him that Katuski was a little do***e and obviously if she was a "responsible" mother she would have done something to correct Katsuki's behaviour but NOOOOOO of course that's not needed, the damn "hero" can just walk around and bully innocent quirkless people and anyone he judges inferior when he desires.

So yes, Mituski is a bad person ... in this story.

And in the end, yes ... she might (or no ? Well, who knows what this old lady can do with the power of science ? This last sentence doesn't really develop anything I'm just delaying the schedule to make a 8000 words long chapter :D)

tododeku26 chapter 8

How does he not suspect afo, like I just... Idk. Anyways question (which you'll probably give a mysterious answer to): does Izuku get ofa or does it go to someone like mirio?

That's about when I say "that question will be answered in the next chapter" :)

Spoilers : I have no idea of who is about to get OFA right now :D

Nagisa Tr chapter 8

Why is over half the chapter just weird A/N?

Because there is actually a lot of people reading my fiction :) (surprisingly, I should start YouTube)

Raven Mordrake chapter 8

As the defeat of the Nomu was very forced, it is impossible that Kirishima is able to contain it even with its hardening, he could not be able to withstand a couple of blows before it breaks.

I would like to point out that the Nomu's strength was considerably reduced after Izuku messed up with it's quirks. Also yes if you consider this forced then I will try to make this less forced and delay the fight on four chapters just so it's "fair" for this poor Nomu :)

Legomasterlord chapter 8

The next day
Legomasterlord's Lounge

"IZUKUUUUUUUUU!" I yelled, "GET OVER HERE!"
Izuku came to me while running and looked at me was gasping for breath. "What is it now?!"
"Griffin's Izuku used AFO! And now he's returning AFO (All For One)'s Quirks!" I explained.
"I should care, why?" Izuku asked.
"Because this Izuku needs training with his quirk, and you are going to train him!" I told Izuku while pointing my finger at him.
"No," he said.
"It's not an option!" I said back at him.
"LEGOMASTERLORD!" All For One yelled while appearing into the lounge.
"Mike!" Kermit said while appearing.
"I'm sorry. Mike?" All For One asked confusedly.
"Yeah, Mike," Kermit replied.
"I think I see where this is going," Izuku said to me.
"Yeah, and it's funny," I said back.
"Who the hell is Mike?!" All For One questioned.
"Mike *BEEP*-CK!" Kermit yelled.
"Hahahahahahahaha!" I laughed.
"How dare you make that joke again!" All For One growled.
"Well it's payback for making all of the world's Anime Waifus trans," Kermit retorted.
Everybody in the lounge stopped what they were doing and looked at Kermit, and everyone's mouths were opened in shock.
"We weren't supposed to talk about that here Kermit!" Cell said. "This is a family friendly Fanfiction!"
"Oh yeah," Kermit nodded.
I looked at the camera that displayed this room and pulled out a AK-47. "We'll be right back after a massive massacre." The camera dropped and showed the floor, and the sounds that were heard were gun shots and screams for mercy.
*connection cut*

Question: What are you gonna be for Halloween?
Goku Black: Merciful.

I'll be dressed as Veigar ^^

TheGreatBubbaJ chapter 8

Oh Izuku you hurt poor Sensei's heart.

He was the chosen one ! T_T

antishyguy weegee chapter 8

Wow I got mention I'm honored. I meant to say "Izuku" and "Nomu" damn autocorrect. Sucks that he wanted to lose the quirks, but it seem like something he do in character.

OF COURSE IT IS.


"The doctor told me I didn't have a quirk just because people who are born with Quirks do not have an additional joint in their small toe, I-I made some research about this and I fount that there was a close chromosomal linkage between the extra toe joint and a lack of a Quirk. And also there is the- Hum ... the qu-"

"Quirk factor ?" Helped Sensei.

"Y-yes ! The term "Quirk Factor" refers to the collective traits that compose a Quirk. This includes the primary Quirk power as well as all the biological mechanisms that allow said primary power to function properly"

"Have you learned those definition by hearth ?"

"... Yes ?" Admitted Izuku "I went back to see the doctor multiple times, before AND after I-I ..." Izuku stopped remembering how chaotic his first experience had been "After I found out I had All for One"

"Quirk factor doesn't necessarily design DNA or mutations, in fact every person has a different kind of quirk factor in their body, most of the time it's some kind of liquid like blood for example" added All for One seeing where Izuku was going.

"The doctor told me that I had no quirk ... in a way I guess he wasn't completely wrong, how does it work ? I mean, what kind of quirk doesn't need quirk factor to work ?"

"Excellent question, sadly I can't give you an answer, my qui- I mean our quirk, is a miracle, when you steal a quirk you take the quirk factor of the user in order to use it. In fact that's how we can take as many quirks as we want. I already explained that almost no one can have more than one quirk at the same time, that's because their body can't adapt, the DNAs do not merge correctly or it's too complex, I'm not sure about this part ... but All for One, it makes everything possible, we have no limit, our body becomes some kind of universal key for DNA"

"So if I wanted ... I could take every quirk on the planet and use them without risking to get hurt ?"

"Yes, I know you will not like this example but take the other trash, your old friend Katsuki, his quirk should burn him right ? Well it doesn't, because his body is adapted to his quirk, the same would happen if you used All for One to take his quirk, however if you were to transfer this quirk to someone who doesn't posses All for One well ... I guess you can deduce the suit by yourself"

"I-I think so, thank you Sensei"


Present time.


"Good Morning Nezu, I-" Recovery Girl was surprised to see walls of papers surrounding Nezu's desk "what happened here ?!"

"Oh ! Hello Chiyo ! Don't worry about the mess I'm just trying to figure out a thing for two about the security breach"

"The U.S.J. ? But I thought that we had the full scenario ... do we ?" The heroine, managed to reach the desk without pushing down any of the piles.

"I just have a crazy theory but that would be too long to explain, is anything wrong ? Asking for an augmentation ?"

"As if you would give any hahaha, no in fact I'm here to ask for a new computer, the actual one is losing his mind faster than I do"

"But-" the principal grabbed a paper behind him without looking "yes, it's here, we bought it three months ago"

"Well I can't work with an equipped that sends my students on the moon when I'm trying to get them home ... yes maybe that wasn't the right way to explain the situation"

"I get it, but can I at least have the full version before we invest into a complete informatic setup for the infirmary ?"

"You see, Izuku Midoriya was injured at the U.S.J. just a broken rib" the principal chuckled at that "something funny ?"

"Just a broken rib ?"

"Oh please, I know it hurts a lot but it could have been worse, I can't make bones grow back but I can stick them back, may I continue now ?"

"Yes sorry"

"Well I wanted to take a sample of his blood, to prevent any infection, and when I finally had the results I saw the highest concentration of quirk factor I had ever seen"

"Like ?" Recovery Girl took out a paper sheet from her pocket and gave it to Nezu "... at this point I'm not even sure he would still be alive hahaha, yes we are going to invest right now"

"For once you take something seriously, anyway thank you, I should go check Shota now, he is too stubborn to sleep when he should" Recovery Girl left the principal's office.

"Well ... looks like I'm gonna be able to reduce my field of research"


"I came here as fast as I could" All Might entered a white room in his skeleton form, few people had access to this room.

"Are you alright ? I heard that he crushed-" The detective pointed a finger at All Might's belly but the symbol of peace dismissed him with a wave of his hand.

"I'm fine, but-" All Might felt that something was wrong, while he was fighting this creature he saw something but he can't exactly say what.

"But ?"

"N-nothing, what about our friend here ?" All might stood next to Naomasa in front of a great window, behind the Nomu who attacked at the U.S.J was heavily restrained and slightly looking around him.

"He doesn't speak, doesn't react to pain ... well as long as we aren't directly interacting with it's head, but it's not completely liveless. In fact when we arrived here it seemed very cooperative"

"Cooperative ?"

"Let's just say he didn't gave us any kind of trouble, our forensic team made some analysis" Noamasa handed All Might a bunch of files.

"... he doesn't look like that anymore" the Nomu was supposed to be a small thug, not a giant as great as All Might.

"Check the others" All Might did, at least six different DNAs were found within the creature "with those files we managed to identify which quirk this creature had"

"... had ?" Noted All Might.

"Three are missing, or at least we can't find any trace of their quirk factor, it's just gone"

"Strength enhancer, speed and reflexes, I don't think the one who created this thing simply decided to not use this quirks. Something is wrong here"

"I have checked again what the students told me, so far only Izuku Midoriya seemed to be aware that this creature wasn't human and had more than one quirk, though I'm not suggesting anything, some of them, especially Tenya Iida told me that he was making amazing analysis in some sort of notebooks collection"

"He does ? I wasn't aware"

"... He hates you" coldly announced the detective, in response he only received a confused look from All Might "Eraser told me what happened during his first day with you as his teacher, it didn't go well"

"I-I just wanted to-"

"Protect him I know, you didn't have any bad intentions but you didn't have any consideration either, this kid hates to be looked down on and you managed to make it clear that you thought he would get gravely injured ... he didn't tell me how it ended, did he win ?"

"Win ? He aced the exercise without a single scratch !"

"See, you have the bad tendency to misjudged people, Izuku is strong, everyone in his class told me that he was the one who helped Tenya to warn the other heroes when both Aizawa and Thirteen couldn't help them, you know ... he might be a good successor"

"You ... you think ?"

"Comon Toshi, you were in the same situation than him. He must have been through a lot to get here"


Sensei was in a bad mood, Izuku had been sitting on a chair for around one hour watching All for One throw everything he saw against the wall. Izuku couldn't say if it was funny or not, All for One looked so calm each time he did throw something but he was also putting a lot of strength in each movements.

"I just can't quite figure out why you want me to take the quirks you earned"

"Because it's wrong ! Those quirks were forced into this-this-"

"Nomu ?" Completed All for One

"Y-yes ... did I say it's name before ?" Izuku didn't remember talking about the creature or mentioning it's name.

"You did, when you came here, you-you don't remember ?" It was the first time Izuku ever felt that Sensei was hesitant.

"N-no- let's just- I meant to say that these people didn't accept to become this ? Who would ?!"

If only Izuku knew how many people are desperate outside to get more power, All for One didn't do anything, Daruma did ...

"Think even more, what if those quirks used to belong to criminals ? If you gave back their quirks they would only use them once again to hurt other people"

"I-it's not what I mean ! It's wrong ! I can't just take someone else's quirk and use it because I would be better than them !"

"They are not even here to reclaim it, it's such a waste" Sensei concluded with disgust in his voice, he turned around and walked toward his chair.

"... Please I don't want to argue with you again about what I'm doing with All for One, I'm not like you and I will never be I just- I just can't. You helped me so much but you did something wrong-"

Before Izuku could say anything else All for One was above him staring at him.

"Be careful about your next words"

"You tried to make me perfect when I can't be s-so ... fine, if i really need those quirks I will take them but I'm not ready yet"

All for One didn't move for a second, then he relaxed and sighed "I can't say important not satisfied at all, you are improving" Sensei extend his hand "you know what to do"

Izuku grabbed Sensei's hand and focused.


The next day.


Finally the end of the week, Izuku didn't receive any report from Recovery Girl and apparently Aizawa was still recovering from his injuries, technically he was "fine" according to the mail the students received and he would be able to work on Monday.

Ochaco had invited Izuku at her apartment with Tenya, Momo and Tsuyu but he declined, he looked very tired and his friends might ask questions about this. Also there was a detail which kept bothering him.

Back at the USJ the Nomu ripped All Might's shirt around his belly and- it didn't look like an injury or a scar, the closest thing Izuku had ever seen was the flesh of the Nomu while he was regenerating. A messed up pack of flesh, but in the end it might not be what it looks like, maybe it's some kind of side effect to All Might's quirk ? Maybe that's why he keeps it as a secret.

Originally Izuku planned to go around Dagobah Municipal Beach Park to dive into his notebooks without being disturbed, he could go to the park right next to his apartment but he ended up not going around here at all as it wasn't well frequented.

Around one year after they met, Sensei authorised Izuku to stay at his lair after school had ended. Each time he did he would run as fast as he could even if Katsuki and his lackeys weren't following him.

At first All for One would just spend his time sleeping or looking at a lot of empty screens for no apparent reason, but one day he got curious and asked Izuku what he was doing with his notebooks.


One year ago.


"Analysis ? You are probably the first person I ever see doing such a thing about quirks, but tell me, what exactly are you looking for ?"

"W-well ... evrything, what it can do, how it works, it's limits, it's weaknesses, what it could do, I'm just doing this as a hobby"

Izuku wasn't looking at Sensei but he knew that the man was smiling "Just a hobby ? My intuition tells me that this might not be the whole truth, such a fascination for quirk ..." Sensei turned around the table at which Izuku was sitting and stood in front of him "you think you can do better than them"

It wasn't the first time Izuku found himself in such a situation, Sensei would sit in front of him and say something which Izuku would try to deny without being able to.

Why ?

Because it was true, deep inside of him he knew that if he was doing this, that's only because if he had those quirks that makes everyone else so special and normal he would be way more stronger than them.

"No in fact, you know you can be better than them" Izuku tightened his grip around his pen "But you are too kind to do what you want, too restricted, so instead you keep writing your analysis like if you were taking some drug. I admire that, you are very resistant to temptation, honestly I'm not"


Present time.


The next week All for One had brought books about propaganda, Izuku "couldn't" refuse to read them, in the end it was really interesting, if you ignore the fact that Sensei was constantly adding comments about how Edward Berneys was a genius for somehow creating what would later become the basics of the heroic propaganda.

How to control someone without using violence or repression ? (What's even the difference here)

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country" Izuku quoted as he walked.

Even weirder it had been proved, since a few centuries, that fifty amateur players of chess were as smart as a world champion or almost. Obviously at the U.S.J. the villains didn't have this ability to think together. Sensei would say "that humans are humans" and that "they can't think together to achieve great things unless there is something stronger above them" or something similar.

As if Izuku expected something different coming from the greatest puppet master of all time.


Somewhere else.


CRASH

Another one, half of the furniture had been destroyed since they came back from the U.S.J. Kurogiri gave up on calming Tomura. Sensei didn't do anything, he simply called and told Tomura to not give up that he did great.

And until now the leader of the league kept walking around like a zombie, then he would stop, stare at the void, grab the nearest chair and throw it at a nearby wall, and finally mutter something about a "stupid brat" which of course had to be Sensei's other protege.

"Do you know how much all of this costs ?" Asked the bartender masking his anger.

"Oh shut up you can just steal it back"

Fair point, however now the heroes would know it was him, Kurogiri knew that once Tomura would launch his attack on the U.S.J. there would be no escape. All for One's infernal machine was already set into motion.

"Could you at least share what's on your mind ?"

"This kid ! That's the problem" this time Kurogiri was the cible for the next throw, he barely ducked under the counter "He did something to the Nomu ! He ruined evrything ! Even the doctor said that it was impossible to mess with a Nomu like that ! He cheated !"

Cheated ... that's how Tomura justified every defeat, at first, then he would be more "rational" and try to overcome his weaknesses. Or he would just keep acting like a child, this kind of behaviour seemed strange as All for One chose to give him his empire, Kurogiri hardly understood what his master saw in Tomura.


Somewhere else.


Izuku ended up at the beach, in fact it was a garbage dump, no one goes here unless they have to drop an old fridge or microwave.

Here he wrote his last three notebooks, not about heroes but this time about villains.


Four years ago.


"Happy Halloween dear Izuku ... if you are celebrating this of course"

"Honestly I thought you might hate this day"

"I do not, well not all aspects. Do you know about the origins of Halloween ?"

"You are going to tell me I guess"

"I would die if I let you drowning in the darkness of ignorance, I'll keep it simple, it's boring to be honest. It's some kind of Celtic tradition to mark the end of the harvesting season and the beginning of winter, during this short period of time spirit would come out and eat the harvests, that's why people are leaving candies outside"

"So the people disguised as monsters are really just here for the joke hahaha"

"Well, if you do not believe in ghosts that's your problem" concluded Sensei with a wide smile.

Izuku was suddenly suspicious "... what if I do not believe in ghosts ? It's-it's not real right ?" He wasn't scared, after all the strongest person in the world, or at least close from All Might's level stood right in front of him.

"I never lie Izuku, I only suggest things, but yes you can say that in a way ghosts may exist" now Izuku was being toyed with and he hated that.

"O-okay fine, g-ghosts exist"

"Hahaha" Izuku couldn't say if Sensei was happy because he managed to scare him or if he was serious about ghosts existing "You know this reminds me of some comics I used to read, you would be impressed by how scare some were ! In fact, as it's Halloween let me tell you about one of my favourite villains, not because they are strong, or smart but because they are the kind of villain that doesn't exist nowadays"

All for One offered Izuku to sit closer from him "Do you know about a hero called the flash ?"

"Y-yeah, is he the one with super speed ?"

"Yes he is, I do not really like the main story, in the end it was simply too confused and- ... let's just get back to our main subject. Tonight I'm going to talk about Zoom" Izuku checked his phone, it was only 6 PM but he shouldn't tell All for One.

"Zoom ? As-as professor Zoom ? The reverse flas-"

"No, not at all, this one is a pathetic joke of a villain, yes he can hurt the hero but he can't kill him or simply kill all his friends, he is just too limited to be dangerous, the Zoom I'm talking about is a true monster"

Izuku never expected to discover that Sensei was almost a comics fanatic, in fact he liked to see All for One like this.

"Zoom was born on another earth, because yes in this universe the multi verse exists and there is even a cubic planet, his name was Hunter Zolomon, when he was young his father killed his mother in front of him because- ... I can't remember why sorry"

Izuku felt embarrassed, if Sensei was trying to tell a scary story then he was really bad at his job.

"This incident brought him on a path of crime and horror, he was arrested multiple times and finally Hunter was sent to an asylum. One night during a sessions of treatment he was caught in the explosion of a particul accelerator, that's how he received his super powers, he became the faster man in his universe"

"Just like the flash ?"

"At first yes, but he wanted more, he found a way to increase his speed with a drug, but soon he discovered that it was killing him, so he found another way, he could steal the speed of other people like him, people with access to the speedforce, he became unstoppable"

"No-not really right ? The flash must have found a way to stop him"

"Zoom was his worst enemy, he took the identity of another speedster to infiltrate the team of the flash and fight him at the same time"

"But how ? The flash would have noticed that when he was fighting Zoom Hunter wasn't here right ?"

"That's where it gets interesting, the flash could never stop him because Zoom was the only speedster able to be in two place at the same time, he called that a time remnant. Speedsters can time travel you see, the idea of this trick is to-"

"Time travel right before you do so ... right ?" In response Izuku got a wide smile and a "warm ?" nod.

"The flash was desperate to find a way to defeat him, he tried evrything, even to trap him once he had discovered Zoom identity but it didn't worked, Zoom was too strong, he had something dark inside of him" Sensei sighed "but in the end I guess that the comic was getting unpopular as the flash never won against him, so Zoom started losing, the flash "suddenly" became stronger than him, he even managed to beat him with his time remnant AND steal his own trick to defeat him"

"So ... Zoom was arrested ?"

"No, he became even stronger, during their last fight he was transformed, as a puniton for stealing the speed of other speedsters the speedforce transformed him, a slave, a hunter who could erase speedsters who messes with time from our reality" Sensei remembered the comic in his head, Zoom's last moments, his brothers was sad for the flash, Zoom had killed a lot of people that he loved, but he never considered Zoom's fate and story.

"That's-" Izuku stopped but he still caught Sensei's attention "that was-that was a great story ! Can you tell me about another one !"

"Yes ! Of course ! Let's see ... how about Cicada ?"


Their personalities were so interesting, so different compared to the heroes, Izuku was inspired, he ended up liking the people the society hated the most.

Each night of Halloween Sensei would tell him stories about fake or true villains, some time about heroes but usually it would not end up well for them.

Izuku was sitting on the top of an old truck wheel, he had a notebook opened on his legs. He intented to write about the villains of the U.S.J. ... Kurogiri and ... Tomura ? He also thought about the Nomu for a moment but that would be useless, this thing had no personality and too much quirks to be predictable.

He wrote the name of the mist villain ... and then nothing, Izuku had no idea of how he should start with him. He went to the next page and it happened again, each time he tries to write a word he felt sick, each time he tried he saw himself standing in front of the Nomu, unable to do anything.

It was done, the U.S.J. was behind him, why was he so scared ?

His phone rang, his mother just sent a message Izuku read "Sorry, I know that you are working on your notebooks right now but I really fell like you need to think about something else, considering what just happened. (In fact I too need some distraction, I'm about to collapse somewhere ^^') Anyway, it's been a while I'm asking you to invite your friend who helped you and now might be the perfect time to do so"

Izuku didn't read further ... his mother just invited All for One for dinner, Izuku put back his phone in his bag and thought about what he may have forgot to say to his mother, like the fact that Sensei looks and is a villain, well former, he is probably way older than three generations of his family reunited and finally All for One may or may not be (all the time) a megalomaniac control freak and genius in politics and propaganda. At this point Izuku didn't even know if he was supposed to tell her everything or simply said that his friend " politely denied"

How was he even supposed to contact Sensei ? It was almost night time and his lair was too far away to-

Izuku felt a familiar liquid envelope him along with his belongings, he ended up at Sensei's lair.

"I'm ready" declared All for One as soon as Izuku arrived.

"H-How ?!" Izuku wasn't angry but more frustrated "You said you were blind ! A-and how do you have access to my phone messages in the first place ?!"

"I'm blind but I can still hear" Sensei grabbed a remote next to his chair and pointed it at the usually empty screens, he pressed a buttons and all the TVs produced sounds at the same time, each seemed to be displaying a different channel so the sound wasn't very tolerable.

Seeing that this was disturbing Izuku All for One switched off all the screens "When I'm not too tired I use this to stay informed, every information is stocked in my head despite the chaos thanks to a quirk"

"That doesn't explain how-"

"I may have modified you phone a bit ... and spied on your conversations" now Izuku was glaring st Sensei "You can't blame me for trying to protect you"

"From what ?!"

"If you ever find yourself in trouble I will know it, and I might be able to help you"

"Each time I asked if you had a phone you told me you didn't"

"Because I can't, what if someone finds out about our relationship ? That could lead them directly to me, and trust me you would be in danger as much as me, anyway ? How do I look ?"

All for One didn't change anything, he was still wearing his old costume along with his black mask.

"I guess you might give her a hearth attack"

"... you never told her do you ? That's why she keeps referring to me as "your friend", very well, that will be the perfect time to do so !"

"Why are you torturing me like this ?"

"Torturing ? Please, this might be the most enjoyable night I will ever have this month" All for One knew that Izuku didn't like this idea at all, in fact if it wasn't for Izuku he would never have "accepted" to meet his mother.


Five years ago.


All for One had a rather "rough" time with Daruma, the doctor kept delaying the production of the Nomu, he would always ask for more funds or quirks to run some test. Talk about moral harassment, this man never stopped to remind All for One that his wounds might be permanent.

He accepted his treatment before the doctor left ... but the Lord of Crime never took it, he knew it was ineffective unless he had a terrible headache.

The door opened, Izuku was late, very late ... about ten minutes earlier he concluded that the kid would not come this afternoon but in the end he was here.

However something was wrong, the door opened slowly compared to the other days, and Izuku didn't even say "good afternoon" or the equivalent.

As All for One focused his vision on the kid he smelled somethings strange, blood, dust and burns.

He got out of his chair tearing off some cables which were connected to his mask at the same time.

"Izuku !" Has he reached him the kid was already falling on his knees, Sensei grabbed his head but then he quickly removed his hand as he felt a liquid running along his fingers, he was losing too much blood.

All for One didn't have any quirk inside him which might help Izuku at this time, he looked back at the desk next to his chair.

The doctor pills, they weren't made for any people, but Izuku wasn't any people, he was All for One, he was strong enough.

Those pills were made to boost the immune system and accelerate body healing by unlocking it's limits, All for One could take it without trouble with the infinite quantity of strength enhancement quirk he had within him. He carried Izuku to his chair and installed him.

But Izuku never experienced such a thing, he did not have much choice, either Izuku would live or he would die from the effect of the pills.

Sensei opened his mouth and placed two pills inside it, then he forced a glass of water inside Izuku throat, if he was correct even unconscious his body would try to spit it out or swallow by reflex, in that case he had to force Izuku's mouth to stay closed until the kid ingested the pills.

Nothing happened during the first minutes, All for One tried to cover Izuku's wounds with whatever he had. Then without any warning, Izuku coughed violently, his body was shaking like if there was an earthquake, Sensei couldn't reach him during this time, it felt like hours, he couldn't judge if Izuku was still alive or not, his skin became white as snow.

When Izuku finally seemed to calm down, his injuries had disappeared, whatever there was in those pills, it was very powerful.

But now All for One had another problem, he had an unconscious kid who looked like a zombie laying on his personal chair and it was around 8 PM ... he considered his options and did the most logical thing he could do.


"W-well here we are" Izuku wasn't ashamed to show to All for One that he loved with his mother in a very small apartment in fact he was simple really surprised, and relived, by the fact the no one noticed him walking with Sensei. Even if he knew about some of Sensei's quirks he hardly believed about the one who could hide his presence for most people around him.

"Is something wrong ? Asked Izuku as he saw Sensei staring at the door.

"... hum ? Oh sorry I was thinking about something else for a minute" Sensei already came here, in fact he can clearly remember this place.

Izuku grabbed the door handle with a shaking hand and pushed the door open, almost immediately both him and Sensei could smell a sweet and tasty odour of porc. Both of them immediately thought about a nice plate of Katsudon.

"I-I'm home !" Announced Izuku.

"Ah ! I read your message ! Did they come along ?!" Asked his mother from the kitchen with an enthusiastic tone.

"Y-yes ! They accepted" Izuku could hardly bring himself to answer with happiness in his voice, but he had to do so, with a BIG and as natural as possible smile, or else his mother might actually call the cops / heroes and/or have an hearth attack. Hopefully none of that will happen ? Right ? Izuku wa begging for a miracle, just this once.

Izuku didn't move, he stood in place while Sensei entered and closed the door behind him, they heard a chair being moved. Izuku's mom appeared in the corridor.

"Well hel-" Inko stopped when she discovered the tall man wearing what looked like a tuxedo and a metal mask shaped in the form or a skull in the corridor slightly waving at her "Sorry, I didn't expect you to come here dresses like that" she apologised after staring at her guest for a moment.

Izuku actually believed he was dreaming, his mother did not overreact, in fact she was very natural, was she thinking that Sensei was wearing a costume ?

"It's nothing, I should be the one to apologise for coming here in such a state but however I must inform you that I do not have much choice for my defence" All for One walked Toward Inko and extended his hand, inviting Izuku's mom to shake it.

Inko grabbed it with both of her hands which surprised All for One for a moment as he found Inko's hands to be very warm ... and welcoming.

"It's nothing really, I understand and do not blame you, please make yourself at home" she gestued All for One to follow her toward what seemed to be the living room.

Izuku was about to ask his mother if she was feeling okay but right as he was about to do it, his phone rang, it was Ochaco ... he had to answer, what could happen if he left Sensei and his mother together for about five minutes ?

"S-sorry I should really answer I'll be right back !" He apologised before running inside his bedroom.

All for One chuckled for a moment, he too did not expect Inko to react like this so he really enjoyed to watch Izuku's confusion.

"I have been thinking about doing this for years now" Inko approached from a drawer and took a piece of paper from it "Do you remember ?" Inko handed it to All for One, even if he couldn't see how it looked physically he knew what was this piece of paper.


Five years ago.


Inko was really worried now, Izuku wasn't answering his phone, and he always went back home before 7 PM. It was almost completely dark outside already, she was about to call the police when someone knocked at the door.

"Izuku ?!" She called running toward the door at the same time.

But Inko didn't receive any answer, she opened the door to find no one, expect her son laying in front of the door, he looked very pale.

Inko was about to scream as loud as she could, ready to call an ambulance, hell, even drag her son across all the city to the closest hospital if she had to.

She grabbed her son's hand, he was still breathing, in fact it's almost as if he was only sleeping. Inko grabbed her son by his shoulders and brought him on the couch in the living room.

She was heading toward the phone when she noticed that something fell off from Izuku's pocket, a letter ?

The was no envelope, she started reading.

"Hel-lo, I-? Sor-j thda you fgu-nd your son in-" Inko stopped for a moment, it was simply really badly written, she skipped most of what she couldn't decipher "I-'¿ you sn's fren d, h-e came to mj hous an-d he- look-d re&lly sjck ,, Place tahe caRe o-/f him."


"I will be honest with you this was really confusing at first, but after a few days Izuku was feeling better and I asked him about this and who was this "friend" of him. Of course I noticed that since a few months he was getting back home around half an hour after the usual time" Inko offered a chair at the same time to All for One which he accepted simply nodding "he never said much about you, he only said that he happened to meet you and that I shouldn't be worried, he was fine"

"Hahaha ... he wasn't lying, he did "happen to meet me" he ended up running into my house by accident. I do not regret this at all, he is such a good kid" All for One looked again at the letter "I'm sorry I do not even remember what I wrote"

"You- ... you can't see ? That's why it was so-"

"I can see but- ... only forms, I managed to write this before bringing Izuku back here, honestly I had no intention to scare you so I left as soon as I had brought him back to his home" silence for a moment "Did he talked about our ... quirk ?"

Inko took a moment to think about this "Well Izuku didn't specify anything concerning your quirk but it sounded pretty obvious. I have so much to ask you, since Izuku discovered his quirk I felt like I became distant with him, unable to help him, to give him the protection and the love he needed"

All for One used his quirk to analyse the room ... there were only two bedrooms, this place was barely big enough for one person to live inside.

"Where is- ... Izuku never talks about his father" All for One tried to hide his question, asking this kind of things directly when he can guess the answer doesn't seem appropriate.

"Hisashi is-" Even Inko did not looked like she had a precise answer "working ... away, he sends us money every month ... but he never calls, and never answers either"

"I shouldn't have asked this question"

"N-no ! It's fine ... in fact it shows that you care about my Izuku, I'm even more happy to see that he finally found a friend who cares about him"

"... let me guess, you knew about Katsuki Bakugo too ?"Asked All for One, Inko implied this fact clearly, maybe she did it on purpose ? "I offered my help to Izuku multiple times, but he denied it, he said that Katsuki wasn't a bad person, so I did nothing, but on the same day you received my letter it was clearly the said "not so bad person" who brought your son to the doors of death"

Inko was staring blankly at All for One "I knew about this too, Izuku didn't have any injuries, I do not know if you healed him somehow but his clothes definitely smelled like ashes ... I have met this odour too many times to be honest"

"You never try to talk with his parents ? Or Izuku's teachers ? From what I understood, they never took any kind of action to correct Katsuki's behaviour"

"... What would they win ? What would they obtain by helping a "useless" and "weak" quirkless kid ?" It hurt Inko to say those words "It never stopped and I knew it wouldn't honestly I was scared because one day I knew that Izuku might have enough of this and- ... and-and he would-"

"Please not now" All for One put his hand on Inko's shoulder and pointed a finger toward Izuku's bedroom "Rejoice, for him, he is happy now, and tomorrow he will be, do not waste this evening"

Inko closed her eyes, she stopped sobbing and smiled instead "Yes, you are right, also, I still have a lot of questions for you"


Izuku came back a few minutes later, Ochaco asked him if he was okay to hangout with the class during the weekend to breath a bit after what happened at the U.S.J.

He accepted of course, while he was talking with her he heard his mom and All for One laughing from the living room. It felt akward to see his mom getting accustomed so quickly to the presence of the most feared villain in the world ... well almost nowadays.

Izuku didn't want to exit his room right now, he wanted to let All for One and his mother alone for a little while, Izuku didn't remember the last time since they had received someone here.

In fact Izuku felt like All for One was almost like a- ...

He turned around to look at his desk in which he had dropped Sensei's gloves, Izuku smiled, what could possibly go wrong now ?


"So ... you made your decision ? Should I call-"

"No Nedzu ... that won't be necessary, Mirio isn't the one I chose"

The principal looked and was genuiely surprised "Well, then who ?"

"A friend of mine made me realise that I wasn't- ... no shouldn't necessarily look for a "strong" successor" All might grabbed a picture from his pocket and showed it to Nedzu "here, the next user of One for All"

"Midoriya Izuku" simply said the principal as he looked at the picture.
