Chapter 17

"Mr. Midoriya, do you know what you are asking?" Nezu asked me as we were in his office, it was night time, Himiko was sitting on his couch looking around, I sat in front of the principal and nodded.

"Yes, I am asking you to talk to the Public Safety Commission and get Toga pardoned for her previous crimes." I said without missing a beat.

"That is a tall order." Nezu said, I smiled and walked over to Himiko pulling her up. "Toga is just a product of society, her quirk makes her this way, with no one to teach her and no one to turn to she had to do the things she did." Toga blushed and smiled.

Nezu stared at me for a moment, "How will I explain this to the commission?" He asked, I smirked, "Nezu, we both know that you can convince those guys, trust me, helping Himiko will be the start of something amazing."

Nezu smiled widely. "And what do you think that something will be?" I let go of Toga. "Maybe a villain reformation branch here at UA, teaching villains to use their powers to benefit society and prove the people who say, They can't be heroes, wrong." I matched his smile.

"I say, what an idea you have, are you planning on reforming other villains?" He asked.

I turned to Himiko, if I could get more villains from the league to join… say Twice, it could be a major win. "Well I wasn't planning on it but maybe if I can convince any others I deem redeemable." I took a seat.

"I'll see what I can do, for now, Ms. Toga needs to stay someplace safe until I can convince the Safety Commission." I blinked, okay didn't think that far.

"Umm do you have any idea?" I asked, Nezu then smiled, "As a matter of fact, I do." He took out his phone and dialed.

I looked to Toga who pouted, "You don't want me to stay with you?" She asked, I rolled my eyes, "Toga, my mom would have a heart attack if I let you stay over." She puffed out her cheeks even more.

"Good news!" Nezu put his phone down, "Ms Midnight is willing to have her stay over!" I blinked in surprise, Toga put a hand on her chin, "The R-rated heroine?" She smirked at me. "I'm game!" I gulped.

"Wonderful, she will be here in an hour, as for you Mr. Midoriya, you need to get on going, you have classes tomorrow." I sighed and looked at Toga, "I'll see you around?" I asked, "Most definitely!"

I left UA with a smile on my face, at this rate things would be looking up for everyone, I just needed to be prepared for anything.

I arrived home and was tackled by a white missile. "BIG BROTHER!" I was able to catch myself and looked down to see Eri smiling at me with her big ruby eyes, "Your back!" I smiled back and ruffled her hair. "I'm home." Her horn was growing, I needed to be cautious.

Inko came out and smiled at Eri, "She's been anxious." I chuckled and picked her up, "I can tell." "Did you get anything for me?"

I put her down and went through my bag, "I did." I took out a stuffed bear and smiled, Eri took it and hugged it tight, smiling, "Thank you!" She ran to the bedroom to probably play with the other toys she had

"She's getting better and better." I commented, Inko told me, "Because she has an amazing big brother." She pats my shoulder, "I'm so proud." I beamed at her and put my bag down and took my shoes off. "I'm glad for that." I put my shoes on the rack and turned to see my mom looking at me with a concerned look.

"Izuku, I saw that video of you.." I bit my lip. "Eri saw it on the news and was well.." Inko started to giggle. "Trying to imitate you." I chuckled imagining Eri trying to punch imaginary villains.

"But I was worried about what this could mean for you, I understand that hero work is a dangerous job but I thought that you being a student wouldn't have to face that yet." I pulled Inko into a hug,

"Mom, I know you worry but I'll be okay, I have my friends and teachers to watch my back." She hugged me back tight and sighed, "I know but can't a mother worry about her son?" She muttered.

I smiled, "She can, it means that she cares." I squeezed her tighter making her laugh. "I get it, you're strong." She pulled away and gave me a teary eyed smile. "I love you Izuku, please be careful." I nodded.

"I will mom, now what's for dinner?" I asked and she walked to the kitchen, "Some beef, now go play with Eri, she's been looking forward to having you around." I walked to the bedroom and played with my little sister.

Life was good.

Going back to UA the next day was a strange thing, considering what happened during the internships, Eri was next to me humming happily, I looked up at the big gate, I hope Iida didn't get punished too harshly.

I walked Eri to principal Nezu's office and walked inside, I saw the Principal sitting down on the phone, we quietly approached and Eri sits on the couch as her usual spot.

Nezu hangs up, "Well, good morning Eri." He greeted Eri, who smiled. "Morning Mr. Nezu." She responded politely.

"How's Himiko doing?" I asked him, "Oh she's doing fine, currently, she's working with Vlad King to work on her blood cravings." I nodded, "Okay that's good, and her pardon?" I asked, "Still working on it, these humans are really stubborn when they want to be." I chuckled and ruffled Eri's hair.

"Yeah we can, thanks for watching over her." I thanked him. Nezu grinned, "Anything for a bright young mind!"

"Don't teach her about world domination." I called back as I walked out. "No promises!" I laughed and went to class.

I was the first one inside and sat in my normal seat, I waited until I saw Iida coming in, "Hey Iida, you okay?" I got up walking over.

Iida looked at me, "Ah Midoriya, I'm quite alright, thank you for asking." I nodded, "So… what happened?" I asked slowly. Iida put his bag on the chair. "Principal Nezu was lenient with my punishment since the media's focus wasn't on me, but for the finals I will have to take remedial afterwards, no matter if I passed them or not." He explained.

I nodded. "I see…" I felt bad, in cannon he didn't get punished… at least I don't think he did, but now.. "Don't blame yourself. It was my fault." Iida interjected, "I made my bed, now I must sleep in it, I will do my best to be a great hero like you."

"Iida, I'm just a guy who wants to do what's right." I grinned and walked back to my desk, "Just do your best and things will get better."

Soon the rest of class 1A came in , "YO THERE'S THE HERO OF THE HOUR!" Mina ran and hugged me tightly. "Dude what you did in Hosu was so manly, going toe to toe with the Hero Killer." I blushed and rubbed the back of my head embarrassed.

The rest of the time my classmates congratulated me, I knew that I would get credit but I wasn't prepared for the recognition from my peers.

Then, Bakugo walked in with his hair done Best Jeanist style, his face twisted in rage, Kirishima and Sero started to laugh. "What the hell Bakugo!?" The cackled as the explosive pomeranian started to threaten them.

I laughed quietly, "Bakugo could get any girl he wants… if he was nicer." Camie spoke up behind me. "Yeah he could, he just needs a girl to keep him in line, hey where did you go for your internship anyway?" I asked the illusionist.

Camie smiled and winked, "Midnight! She's totally rad, she taught me how to use my quirk in effective ways and even some tips on wrangling guys~" She licked her lips with an alluring gaze, I blushed and turned away.

Hope she didn't use those tricks on me.

Mr. Aizawa walked in and everyone was on their desks already. "Good, your learning, anyway, today you'll be training with someone new, a veteren pro." He said, "Go to Ground Gamma, he'll be waiting for you there." And with that, Aizawa left.

I blinked, this hasn't happened in the anime or manga, "Whoa, we're gonna be training with a veteren pro!" Kaminari exclaimed excitedly.

"Kero, I wonder who it is." Tsu wondered as we got our costumes and left for Ground Gamma.

At ground Gamma, I looked around as we were in an area covered in pipes. Mr. Aizawa was there when we arrived, what surprised me more was the costume changes from Momo and Toru.

Huh they took my advice after all.

"Whoa, now that's amazing, it doesn't cover much anymore." Ochako was looking at Momo's new outfit. It was like her leotard but now it had sleeves and pants, the material was red and very thin, there were plates of armour on her shoulders and shins, she got rid of her book and had a small screen on her wrist, she even wore a yellowish visor over her eyes.

"Melissa helped me with the costume, Midoriya actually told me that there was a way to create a fabric out of my hair and some of my skin tissue, Melissa was able to make it so that my costume doesn't rip from my creations and the small device is to replace my book and make it easier for me to search." Momo explained and gave me a smile.

"Melissa helped me by making this stealth suit!" Toru waved her arms, the suit was a light grey spandex with boots that didn't make any sound with any step she took. "It can turn invisible when I need it to, the boots make me as quiet as a mouse!" She jumped and giggled. "And it's waterproof!"

Kaminari smiled, "Wow your costumes look awesome, maybe I should get upgrades myself."

Sato blinked and pointed to one of the pipes, "Hey isn't that All Might standing there?" All of us turned to see All Might in his buff form hiding behind a pipe, shaking in fear.

"H-HELLO STUDENTS!" He stuttered and hid again.

I frowned, what could scare the number one hero so bad?

"Okay, enough lollygagging, today, you'll be playing a game of hide and seek, in this game, you have to reach the finish line before your chaser catches you." Mr. Aizawa explains. Sero looked around, "Wait, Chaser? As in one?"

Mina raised her hand, "Where's the veteran?" She asked. Aizawa stepped aside and my heart dropped.

Behind him, was Gran Torino, he looked to be in senile mode. "Ah hello there."

I looked in fear, I respected the man greatly for his dedication to being a hero at such an old age, but he was a scary guy.

Bakugo growled, "The fuck is this, I thought we would be getting a veteran pro hero, NOT A GRANDPA!" "Umm sir, is this wise?" Tsu asked, raising her hand.

"Don't judge a book by it's cover, you all have 10 minutes to escape him, if he tags you, you're out." I swore that I could see the cruel grin on his face.

Ochako looked at me, noticing my stiffened state. "Deku, are you-" Before she could finish, I aimed and shot an air bullet at Gran Torino, causing the old man to disappear in a gust of wind. "DON'T THINK, RUN!" I screamed and used black whip to swing away.

Everyone looked shocked and then, it started.

"AH!" "GAH" "OWIE!" In 5 seconds, Koda, Toru and Aoyama were knocked down by a small fast object.

Aizawa smirked, "Your ten minutes have already started, get going." Everyone was knocked out of their stunned states and scrambled away, Momo created a grappling hook, Ochako, Jiro and Camie grabbed on, Ochako made them both weightless and Momo grappled away, Iida ran using his turbo speed, Bakugo blasted into the sky, Kirishima ran after Bakugo, Mina skated away, Sato, Tokoyami, Shoji and Ojiro ran the same direction, Tsu hopped away as fast as she could and Denki hanged onto Sero as he swung on his tape and Todoroki used his ice to skate out.

"... Aizawa your evil…" All Might called out. "You're just mad because your old master kicked your ass the moment he saw you." Aizawa responded walking away, "Bring them to the finish line." He told the medbots as they picked up the unconscious students.

I jumped from pipe to pipe and used black whip to swing whenever I was too far from landing.

Nezu brought Gran Torino here? How was he able to convince the old pro… was it because I didn't go to him for my internship, well doesn't matter right now, just need to be sure that he doesn't catch me.

I stopped on top of the water tank and looked around… maybe I should add a cape to my costume, a white one… It would look cool.

I closed my eyes and I could hear the faint explosions in the distance. One of the things that was passed over from my old body was my keen sense of hearing, I sighed and twitched hearing sounds of air bursts.

My eyes snapped open and I leaned to the side, dodging Gran Torino, huh he wasn't going all out.

"Holding back old man?" I gave him a smile, he hovered in front of me with a smirk, "So your Toshinori's successor, I gotta say, I was disappointed to not have you come to internship with me, but seeing you handle One for All correctly I can understand the need to branch out." He charged at me again, but I jumped over his lunge and swung away.

I couldn't help the grin on my face, something about this was familiar. I charged up to 15% and jumped from pipe to pipe, I couldn't hear Gran Torino anymore so he must be going after another target.

I stumbled across medbots taking Kaminari and Shoji to the west. Poor guys… I went west and shot black whip behind me, stopping me in my tracks as Gran Torino shot up under where I was.

Our eyes locked.

Gran Torino's eyes widened as he could have sworn that he was looking at his old friend Nana, the kid had a smile that looked so similar and his eyes held the same warmth and kindness.

"You haven't changed a bit Sorahiko." Midoriya spoke as he landed and a look of confusion formed on his face.

Gran chuckled and flew away, "That boy…"

I landed on the platform that was supposed to be the finish line, I landed and saw almost all my classmates on the floor groaning in pain, some were unconscious, geez… that old man showed now mercy.

Mr. Aizawa and All Might were standing next to each other. All Might seemed to be muttering an apology...

Bakugo landed next to me and looked at all our classmates. "... Fucking extras.." I slapped him over the head. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!" He screamed at me.

Shoto came up next as did Ojiro, huh how did he evade the old man.

"Good work you four, you made it." Aizawa congratulated us. Gran Torino came up next to him, "Bah, these kids are too green!" The old man turned to All Might who flinched, "YOU COULDN'T TOUGHEN THEM UP MORE YOU BIG OAF?!"

"W-Well Sir you see I-" But All Might was cut off by boots to the face from his old master.

"The fuck is with that old man?" Bakugo asked, looking with a face of disbelief, Kirishima rubbed his stomach, "He was able to break through my hardening."

I snorted, "I'm not surprised, that's All Might's master." Some looked at me and then at the old man scolding the symbol of peace while Aizawa watched with twisted satisfaction.

"That man taught All Might?" Ojiro asked, stunned. "Wow… I feel honored to have my ass kicked by him." Kirishima said.

"He holds nothing back.." Momo held her stomach feeling sick.

I chuckled a bit as Aizawa dismissed us.

All Might walked past me, "Come to the lounge room, we need to have a talk." He told me, I blinked and looked at him as he and Gran Torino left.

At the locker room, I took off my gloves and suit, "Man today was tough, that old guy really had me going." Kirishima spoke up as he took off his hero costume.

"Shows us how much we need to improve." Iida said and held his side, "Though, the way they showed us was quite painful."

"Oui, I can see how training like that got All Might where he was today, in all his dazzling glory." Aoyama rubbed his sore stomach.

"You extras are pathetic." Bakugo took his mask off. "Bakugo." I called out, making said boy growl. "All you… need is…. More training." He gritted his teeth.

"Whoa dude, your taming the beast." Kaminari smirked, "Can he fetch and play dead too?" I raised an eyebrow and looked at Bakugo smirking.

"Why as a matter of fact he does." I said, Bakugo matching my smirk. "Fetch." I simply said. Kaminari's eyes widened as Bakugo stalked towards him, "Careful he bites~" I sang as I put on my shirt.

"Don't worry, this will be quick." Bakugo let out small explosives out of his palms as Kaminari whimpered.

"Midoriya!" Iida looked at me, "Relax, I'm not gonna let him blow up Kaminari." I waved Iida off, "Bakugo that's enough, remember Recovery Girl is still mad after you sent him to her office last time."

Bakugo stopped and looked at me, then back at Kaminari. "Your safe for now dunce face!" He walked back to his locker.

"Gotta admit, that was kinda funny." Sero commented laughing. I rolled my eyes and then spotted a hole, I sighed and knocked on the wall.

"Hey girls, found something here." I called out. "Is that a peeping hole?!" Jiro exclaimed, "Don't worry no one is looking through here." I assured them.

"I wouldn't mind if you took a peek~" Camie called, making me blush and look at the guys giving me smirks. "Momo… please patch the hole." I called. "Already done!" I sighed and walked past Bakugo smirking, "What are you smirking at, "Oh nothing, I think I'm gonna get a girlfriend before you."

"Oh shut up Bakugo and kiss Kirishima or something." I smirked seeing him turn red "THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" I speed walked out before he could chase me down.

I walked to the lounge after a little incident in the locker room, long story short, a midget was found in the girl's locker room and I kicked his ass all the way to RG's clinic.

I walked up to the door and knocked. "Come in." I walked in to see All Might, he was in his skinny form and Gran Torino, sitting on the couch.

"Take a seat Young Midoriya." He offered, I took my seat and looked at the two.

"Your Toshinori's successor huh, I didn't think much of you when I first saw you, plain at most." Gran Torino spoke up, I felt my eye twitch in annoyance, it's always that one feature.

"But from what Toshinori told me, your handle on One for All has become even better than this oafs." He used his walking stick to point at All Might.

"Young Midoriya, how much can you use without breaking yourself?" All Might asked me, I hummed and cupped my chin.

"I think I can use 25% safely, but I can push it to 45 if I need to." I responded, All Might smiled, "That's great." Gran scoffed. "I'm not surprised, you have a small body, it'll take years before your body can handle the immense power."

"Actually One for All is changing my body little by little." I interjected, "What do you mean?" my mentor asked.

"I've used One for All a lot, I kept it one whenever I had the chance, kept it at a safe percentage, I started to notice that my body has become stronger as I keep using it over time." I explained, "When I first used my Delaware smash, my fingers became sore after using it 5 times, now I can use it 10 times."

"So your body is adapting to the quirk, great, I thought that I needed to teach you how to use it but seeing it now, I don't think it's necessary." Gran said, crossing his arms.

"... Toshinori also told me you spoke to Nana." His voice became softer, I nodded. "And today, you had the same look as she did."

I blinked, was that what happened, huh. "One for all must be leaking out some of her memories." I mumbled, "Well be careful, you don't want to have more then one set of memories." All Might warned me, yeah a little late for that All Might.

"Can you talk to them again?" Gran asked, I looked at them, "I… don't know, I never actually tried." I rubbed the back of my head. "Maybe… I can try meditation while channeling One For All?" I suggested.

All Might and Gran Torino looked at each other then at me. "Well go for it, nothing to lose right?" Gran shrugged, I got on the floor and got into a lotus sitting position and closed my eyes, let One For All flow.

I could feel the power course through me, okay now, relax.

Clear my mind….

I opened my eyes and found myself in the vestige world.

"Huh I didn't think that would work." I commented and looked down, I was in my real body, I brushed my fingers against my black hair.

Strange, it's been a while since I've seen this part of me.

"Hello." I jumped and turned to see the first wielder of OFA. "Oh umm hi." I waved nervously, he gave me a soft smile. "Come on, the others are waiting." He started to walk into the abyss.

I followed after him, staying close so I won't fall… could I fall?

We arrived at an area with 8 thrones, two people were staring at the wall, the other users were seated, All Might's astral form was flickering.

"Hey kid." Nana waved with a smile, "It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Hikage Shinomori." Hikage Shinomori greeted, "Yo, you know me already kid!" Daijoro Banjo smiled with a peace sign.

"And I am En." The high collared user introduced himself. "Just En?" I asked with a tilt of my head, the man simply smiled.

"And I am Yoichi Shigaraki, the first." Yoichi sat down on his throne. I looked at the other two, the 2nd and 3rd users. "... They don't accept me, do they." I stated, Yoichi sighed, "They do not… but now we have something to discuss."

I looked at Yoichi, "Your future knowledge." The first user leaned back. "The information in your head is the key to a brighter future, you already changed so much from the canon timeline, we just need to be careful on how to use it."

"You guys seem very… relaxed about this information." I stated.

"We were surprised once we had access to your memories, we're over." Nana waved me off, "I'm not! I don't have a lot of screen time!" Daijoro complained.

"Back on track, the heroes lost the war because of Tomura gaining All For One and getting the support of the Meta Liberation army, we need to stop those events from happening." Hikage explained.

"I have a few ideas on how to go through with that but we need to wait until after the battle of Kamino." I responded, "You're gonna let that happen?" Yoichi asked in surprise. "It has to happen, if All Might beats All for One then Tomura will be on his own for a while." I explained.

"And the Yakuza?" En asked, "They need Eri for their plans, I have to keep her away, if I can take them out before the battle of Kamino then we Tomura will be lost."

"You won't be able to do anything without a provisional hero license." Nana added. "... Crap." I sighed, "Well I'll figure it out as I go." I shook my head.

"Fine onto the next subject, we weren't planning on telling you this until you had more control but… I think you need to hear this." Hikage got up.

"I died at the age of forty, can you guess why?" I blinked at his question, "All For one found you?" I asked, "No, it was old age." he revealed.

"Wait what?!" I looked at the other users. "So One for All cuts the lifespan of the user?" I stopped myself, "Wait no, if that was the case then All Might wouldn't be alive."

"One for All has gotten too powerful for one person to bear, think of a person like a chalice, the One for All is the liquid, if the person already has something in the chalice, then it will overflow."

"So… it's because me and All Might were quirkless, we had nothing in our chalices and One for All became our real quirk." I put the pieces together.

Wait. "OCHAKO!" I exclaimed. "Oh man did I just shorten her lifespan?!" I paced in panic.

I was hit in the head by Hikage, "No you didn't you only transferred some of the power One for All had, she doesn't have the quirk, she's fine." The 4th user reassured me.

"Okay… that's good." I sighed in relief. "Wait… if I can transfer power to Ochako…" I looked at them, "I can transfer power to others!" I grinned widely.

"I can give them a boost in their quirks, make them stronger, prepare them!" I stopped, "I need to test it first, also I need to boost quirks with combat capabilities… umm no offence." I looked at the others.

"You have a point on the combat part, for what's to come we need to choose wisely." Yoichi said. "Still quirks aren't everything, remember that." Nana reminded me, "Heh, funny since a quirk is letting me talk to ghosts." I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"... So when are you planning on telling them?" Nana asked me, "Telling who?" I looked at the 7th.

"All Might, your mom, your friends, when will you tell them who you really are?" She asked, staring into my eyes into my soul.

I bit my lip and turned away. "I don't know if I will." I responded, "Why not?" She pressed.

I didn't answer, I kept my gaze fixed on the abyss.

"... you're afraid." Yoichi said getting up, "You're scared of them rejecting you."

Nana frowned, "That Bakugo kid already accepted you, I don't think Toshi will reject you." I clenched my fist. "... I think we're done here." I whispered and walked away.

"... Stay strong kid." Nana muttered as the area faded behind me.

I continued to walk, it wasn't easy, how would they react, Inko and All Might were different from Bakugo, I held my head. "I can't do it." I muttered.

I stopped and turned around, nothing but the black void.

I shook my head and slapped myself awake.

I opened my eyes to see the two looking at me with tea in their hands, the sun was setting now, "How long have I been out?" I asked, "Quite a while, 20 minutes?" All Might checked his watch.

"Did it work?" Gran Torino asked, "Yeah it worked." I got up. "What did they say?" I looked at them, "A lot of stuff…" I sat back down.

I decided to tell them about the users feeling that All for One is active.

I idly listened to the two as they talked, but I wasn't fully paying attention, what was on my mind was that voice, it was so familiar.

I looked out the window and watched the sunset.

"Young Midoriya." I turned to look at my mentor who looked at me worriedly.

"Are you okay?"

I faked a smile. "Yeah sorry what were you saying?"
