Six In One

by TheDullGuy

Izuku is on the ground facing Katuki, a stronger Katsuki with the ability to create explosions from his entire body, not just his palms. This is where the timeline truly differs from the original timeline. As Izuku plans to capture Katsuki, black tendrils come out of his body as violently as they appear. Izuku finds out this is a start of something new... A start for the Six In One

8. Rivals Trails

Rivals Trials

Before the story starts some parts of the show will just be summarized because it will go similar to what happened in canon so I felt no need to rewrite a scene that wasn't even changed

—————————————————————

A buzzer sound was heard signaling the start of the exam. "Team Midoriya and Bakugo: practical exam. Ready, go!" The robotic voice announced.

Katsuki wasn't wasting any time and immediately started to move forward without Izuku in hopes of finding All Might.

"I have to talk to him. We're a team. We should be discussing this. Communication is the key here." Izuku ran up to the ignorant blonde to talk strategy. "Kacchan, listen. For this exam, the teacher's the villain and we're the heroes, so we need a solid plan. Normally, I'd suggest that we analyze the villain's combat ability and choose to fight them or run away based on that. But in case, the villain is All Might, so we don't need to think about it because combat is out of the question. It'd be impossible to beat him in a fight." Izuku's cowardliness is seriously pissing Katsuki off.

Katsuki simply walks faster ahead of Izuku.

Izuku ran up to Katsuki to try and warn him not to go ahead and fight All Might. "It's a really bad idea, Kacchan!"

"Stop following me." Katsuki warns with anger in his voice.

"Uh-" Izuku didn't stop following. "All Might is probably waiting for us on this main road. We should take another route." He advises.

"I'm not gonna run away from this fight. It'll look better if we blast that smile off his face." Katsuki was adamant about his goal.

Izuku sighs. "No. We should avoid fighting him no matter what it takes." He starts to yell due to the stress. "Listen Izuku. I'm sure you know this, but, even though I see you as a worthy successor, I still see Mirio as the better choice. So you still have a long road ahead to prove yourself to me, to prove yourself to everyone else, to prove yourself as the greatest hero like All Might." He still has a lot to prove, but Katsuki isn't going to let it be that easy.

"I'm gonna toy with him until the time is almost up, and then knock him unconscious for real." Katsuki races ahead of Izuku. He just wants the conversation to end right now.

Izuku groans. "Why do things always have to be so difficult between me and Kacchan?! I don't have time to worry about upsetting him." Izuku ran up to Katsuki. "Think about this! You know what All Might can do! Even with those handicapped weights, you can't win in a fight against him!"

Katsuki had none of it and slam Izuku across the face. Sending him flying through the air.

Izuku grunts from the attack.

"I don't wanna hear another word. Just because you think you're getting more power and fame doesn't mean you get to tell what to do." Katsuki snares.

—————————————————————

Recovery Girl sighs at the terrible show. "Oh, dear. There's no teamwork between those two. Don't they realize the trial ahead of them?

—————————————————————

All Might stands there taking in the environment before making his first move. "Here we go." All Might flexes and slowly starts to build up a powerful punch. "I am here to test them."

Meanwhile with the two other boys.

"Wait, Kacchan! All I'm trying to do is get us to pass the final! This is for both of us." Izuku pleads.

"I told you, we don't need your dumb power to pass! I can win it all by myself!" Katsuki yells.

Izuku starts to yell as aggressively and loud as Katsuki. "Will you stop yelling?! This is why we never have real conversations!"

All Might threw his first punch that tear through the city. Izuku and Katsuki both gasp and yell as the wind pressure from the punch blast them away.

Both students struggle to get up, not because of the attack, but because of the presence that was closing in.

"Who cares if I destroy this city?" All Might said.

"What? When did he get..."

"What? How is he..."

Both students were scared of the energy that All Might was letting off. "...so intimidating?"

All Might slowly walk out of the debris and smoke. With one stomp he was able to blow all that away.

Katsuki and Izuku grunt from that wind pressure.

"If you think of this as an exam and not a real fight, you'll be sorry."

Both students gasp when they saw All Might's devious look.

"I'm a villain now, heroes. Remember that. You'd better come at me with everything you've got! I won't pull my punches!" All Might warns.

"It's over if we fight him head-on. Let's run!" Izuku got up and ran away.

"Don't tell me what to do!" How many times does he have to say it?

All Might leap forward to attack Katsuki.

"Kacchan, no!" Izuku screams.

"How about a Point-Blank Stun Grenade?" Katsuki use to feet to blast forward so his hands can focus on creating a powerful flash of light to stun All Might for a few seconds. He began hitting the down All Might with explosions after explosions. "You want everything I've got, All Might? Like that wasn't my plan. I never hold back, dammit!" Katsuki grunts as he was grabbed by the face.

"Damn, that was good. It going to take a few more seconds for my vision to fully recover." All Might gasp. "Huh?" All Might was met with more explosions to the face, which was quite surprising. "Ow, ow, ow!" He covers his face. "Normally, if you grab someone's face, they reflexively try to pull your hand off of it. Guess this kid is concerned only with defeating me, no matter the cost." All Might grabbed Katsuki's blasting arm and slam him to the ground.

Katsuki gasps and grunts from the attack.

"Your rapid-fire blasts were weak- hardly more than sting." All Might turns to the fleeing Izuku. "Where are you going?" All Might ran so fast that he was already behind Izuku without him noticing.

Izuku turns and gasps as All Might's figure overshadowed him.

"Don't think I've forgotten about you already, Young Midoriya. Are you going to leave your teammate here and run away?" He questions Izuku.

Izuku's flight or fight responsive decided to choose freeze. "Why does he remind me of the Hero Killer right now?" Izuku didn't have time to question. He swings away as All Might taunt.

"Uh-uh. Do you think that's going to work?" All Might taunts.

Katsuki was flying toward All Might, however, Izuku jumped in his way. "Ah— Move it!" He yelled.

Izuku turns and sees him. "Kacchan!"

Both yelp as they crash into one another.

Katsuki fell to the ground and immediately got back up. He starts making his way to All Might.

Izuku slowly got up and block Katsuki's way.

"Outta the way." He walks past Izuku.

"Haven't you been listening to me? It's insane to fight him head-on!" Izuku warns.

Katsuki didn't listen. "Shut up, scum. I will win this. That's what it means to be a hero, Deku!"

Izuku was angry but still amazed. He remembers how Katsuki always admire All Might through the screens when they were little. "At the very least, we should be trying to avoid him!" He grabbed Katsuki's hand.

"Get your hands off me." He swipes Izuku away.

"Incoming, heroes." All Might yelled.

Both students look up and saw him.

"I have a special gift for the one who wants to run!" All Might trapped Izuku between a metal fence, which was kinda dangerous since it could've pierced him.

Izuku grunts and watch as All Might ran toward Katsuki and punches him in the gut so hard that he flew and pukes out his morning breakfast. Katsuki grunts as he rolls on the ground.

"Kacchan, are you okay?" Izuku was concerned.

Katsuki grunts as he lay on the floor, almost crying.

Izuku was upset about this. He always saw how Katsuki admire All Might because of his power and how he wanted to face many obstacles and come out on top.

Katsuki grunts while trying to get up.

"You may be a jerk, but I get it. You always have one goal that you fight for in everything you do. You make sure that you're the winner. And honestly, I always admire you for that!" Izuku slowly activates One for All throughout his body, ready to attack.

"Ha! I know why you're so angry, Young Bakugo. Because of Young Midoriya's success. His fame and power are your problems, right?" All Might knew.

Katsuki gasped as All Might correctly deduced his problem. That was the second teacher to see through him.

All Might started to lecture Katsuki. "But you have to remember each of the rankings when the year first began. It's much easier to level up when you're a novice. You're wasting your full potential. Do you see that? Do you understand me? You still have so much room to grow stronger, boy. And I don't just mean your Quirk." He wanted to know if Katsuki was listening.

"Shut up, All Might." Two pins fall to the ground.

All Might gasp and step back.

"I'm already strong enough!" Katsuki points both of his Grenadier Bracers at All Might. The blast was equal to All Might's earlier punch.

"Ow. Now that's the second time you were able to stun me. But as you can see it wasn't enough." All Might brushes off the attack before attacking both of Katsuki's Grenadier Bracers, shattering them into pieces.

Katsuki grunts from this attack and sulks. "If I'm so bad that I have to get help from a weakling like him... then I'd rather lose this. Do you hear me-!" He grunts again as he felt a different fist on his face.

It was Izuku. He punched Katsuki with all his might and yell. "Don't you dare say that you'd rather lose! Let's win this, Kacchan!"

Katsuki grunts as he was tossed across and Izuku had to drag him with Blackwhip into an alleyway while running at top speed.

All Might exhale. "Phew. I didn't expect Young Midoriya to swoop in like that. I let my guard down." All Might groan, still injured by Katsuki's last attack. "I'm going to feel that in the morning."

—————————————————————

Izuku had already run through three alleyways and was currently running through the fourth. He wanted to get enough distance away from All Might. He was holding Katsuki when he started speaking.

"Drop me, you bastard." Katsuki said. It seems he doesn't like Izuku holding him like he needs help to get up.

"I got you." Izuku didn't listen, he didn't wanna.

"I told you to put me down, dammit!" He hits Izuku to drop him.

Both grunts and groans as they fell to the ground. They both pants trying to catch their breath after the hell of fighting they went through.

"Kacchan, I really can't think of a way for is to beat All Might. Or to make a clean getaway without him swooping in and stopping us." Izuku admits.

"Huh?" Katsuki didn't know what sad lecture Izuku was going to say and didn't want to hear it.

"But before you give up we can at least try using my power! You can't say you're okay with losing. You're you because you never give in. You're always fighting." Izuku remembers how Katsuki faces up against two older boys in the first grade and won. "The most amazing hero always wins." You have been saying those words since we were little kids. How can you give up now?"

Katsuki yelled and hit Izuku with an explosion to shut him up.

Izuku gasped from the attack.

"I won't say it again, so listen, you useless nerd. All Might's speed is insane. No matter where you try to run and hide, there's no way you'll avoid fighting him. Even with two full-power Grenadier Bracers blast to the fact, he was able to shrug it off and destroy them in a blink of an eye. He's not just powerful. He is power. That man is the most unstoppable force in the world. He's the greatest hero on Earth. So you're right about not being able to face him in combat. So... fight me, successor." Katsuki challenge Izuku.

Izuku gasps. "Somehow I knew. This was it." His mind started racing about how he knew his and All Might's secret.

"You were useless. No power at all. A joke. So now you're gonna tell me how you managed to get into this damn school with a brand-new Quirk that appeared outta nowhere." Katsuki remembers what Izuku said to him after the battle trial. "I wasn't hiding my Quirk from you. It was given to me by someone else. Recently. I'll work until I have full control of this borrowed Quirk. And I'll finally beat you with my power!" Katsuki smiles, as he now knows the truth. "I didn't understand what you meant back then because what you were saying made no sense. But still, you kept climbing higher and higher, always looking so satisfied with yourself." Katsuki's mind took him back to the Sludge incident. "Ever since that sludge villain. No, it started when All Might came to town. Better and better. Until finally, you got accepted by All Might's sidekick was the only one to offer you an internship and you got famous later for defeating Stain. How the hell is that even possible?" He didn't understand how could any of this could happen. Katsuki a year before would never believe something like this could happen in a million years.

"Yeah, but that was all just luck-" Izuku tried to brush it off and defuse the whole situation but Katsuki had none of it.

"Shit up and listen, you damn nerd." He demanded.

Izuku flinches. "Sorry." He apologized.

"It pissed me off that I'd been beaten by such a pathetic weakling." Katsuki began to quote Izuku. "There are plenty of things I'd like to say, but they'll have to wait. All Might was right, though. Meddling when you don't need to is the essence of being a hero. When you said that, I began to understand."

Izuku gulps. He knows that Katsuki is as big as an All Might fan as he is, so Katsuki would know that All Might never said anything like that in any of his interviews or movies, etc.

"The way you said it made it sound like he personally said that to you, that gave me a lot of thought. You got your Quirk from All Might, didn't you? He gave you his power." His hands started to spark.

Izuku tried to shush Katsuki. "Can you not say that so loudly!" He loudly whispers as he looks around for the camera in the alleyway. "They could be watching!" He gasps and covers his mouth after realizing he just confirmed it.

"So that confirms it. The only question I have is how are you able to make All Might's Quirk do that Black tendrils thing, but for some reason, he can't?" Katsuki was digging for more info.

"Don't look so sad. He didn't take you seriously, so I don't think he'll say anything. This time, I'll let things slide. Just make sure this doesn't happen again." Izuku can only stay silent as he was about to cry due to him breaking All Might's promise to keep One for All a secret. "This is the price I pay for not following All Might's instructions." Izuku ignores Katsuki's last question and asks a question of his own. "Okay. What if it's true?"

Katsuki grew angrier. "You and I both wanted to be just like All Might when we were growing up. But I was the one who had the potential. Then somehow, a little nobody like you was singled out by the person I admired most, and I didn't even realize it. That's why if I can't beat All Might, I can at least beat his little protégé." Katsuki motioned his hands to signal Izuku to come and get it.

"Wait, what? How is that the best way for us to work things out? No. This is bad. Do you want us to fail? Why don't we talk about this during one of the free periods? We could reserve a training room or something. There's no reason it has to be right now." Izuku scream.

"No!" Katsuki yelled.

Izuku flinches and gasps from Katsuki's over-boiling anger.

"I wanna know what made All Might give his power to a loser like you. Let me see for myself." Katsuki demanded.

Izuku was stunned. He can't believe this is happening. Where is All Might during all this, he thought to himself.

"Is it because you looked up to him more than I did? And if that's the case, does it mean everything I've done to be like him is wrong?" Katsuki questions his actions throughout the decade.

"No, Kacchan." Izuku tried to comfort Katsuki. He knew how they both always looked up to All Might when they were young, so having Katsuki question if he's not like him, broke his heart.

"Y-you really wanna do this?" Izuku step back a bit.

Katsuki was stretching. "If you don't wanna get hurt, hit back."

"Come on, stop! This isn't smart." Izuku begs.

Katsuki didn't listen and he blasted toward Izuku faster than before.

"Kacchan!" Izuku steps back. He looks at Katsuki's hand movement. "A right hook? No, I got him like that before. He'll remember. That's a feint." Izuku correctly predicted and use One for All and Blackwhip to jump away from the attack and into the sky. But even so, the huge attack was able to stun him.

Katsuki grunts from his explosion. "You know your problem? You're always overthinking things. Just fight me!" Katsuki demanded.

"You're serious? You wanna spar?" Izuku decided to go on the offensive and when Katsuki launched toward him, he use Airforce to smash him back down.

Katsuki immediately got back up to the sky thanks to his new support item and unleash a barrage of huge explosions at Izuku that was able to burn and stun him. Katsuki grunts after unleashing his biggest explosion by hand. "Those gauntlets were only so I could use maximum firepower with no risk." Katsuki was stunned and was hurting from the explosion. "I can still move better than you. Even if you are learning to use your pathetic power. At least try to make yourself a threat, you moron!" Katsuki was immediately corrected by Izuku slamming a 15% kick through his guts.

Meanwhile, All Might was watching all of this godown. And stood there, doing nothing. "Envy. Hate. Competition. Awe. Rejection. Pride. From what I can tell, they have so many complicated feelings about each other piled up that they don't even know how to interact anymore." All Might cough and see blood had started to leak out. Seem like Katsuki's explosions did a bigger number than he previously thought. "It's not the kind of thing that can be resolved in a single talk. But maybe allowing them to vent out their frustrations first before intervening could mean big things for them in the future. This is just the first step. A starting point."

—————————————————————

"Oh, dear." Recovery Girl was watching the whole thing go down.

"Where All Might?!" Iida yelled. How can the number one hero not notice this happening? But unknown to Iida, All Might does know and is allowing this to happen.

"I don't know!" Momo was worried for Izuku.

"Kick his ass, Izuku!" Ochako cheered.

The whole room just went quiet and stared at Ochako for that inappropriate comment.

"S-sorry." She apologized.

Recovery Girl watched as the cameras were getting destroyed during the fight. "This isn't good..."

—————————————————————

"You have to stop this. Why hurt each other when we could just talk things out?" Izuku begs as he dodges another attack.

Katsuki grunts as he unleashed explosion after explosion.

"You were right to look up to All Might like you did. I know just how much he meant to you when we were growing—" Izuku dodges another of Katsuki's explosions. "He's fast." Izuku look at Katsuki's new support item that was attached to his back. "It's probably because of that support item that looks like a jetpack. It seems to store his sweat like his gauntlets, however, the jetpack uses that sweat that propels Katsuki forward. That way his hands are free during battle."

Katsuki growls as he tries to hit Izuku again. Katsuki couldn't stand this. "You were always behind me. Our whole lives." He remembers when they were young how Izuku tried to help after he fell in a puddle. "You were stuck to me. I couldn't get rid of you. No matter how much I tried you kept coming back."

Katsuki lynches after Izuku again but he swings away.

"Listen to me!" Izuku begs.

"Stop running! Stand up and fight!" Katsuki yelled. "We both admired him. So why?" He blasts toward Izuku. All Might was always criticizing him. "In small doses, pride can be a useful attribute to have. I'd say you certainly can become a pro hero. I know why you're so angry, Young Bakugo. Because of Young Midoriya's success. His fame and power are your problems, right? But you have to remember each of the rankings when the year first began. It's much easier to level up when you're a novice." Katsuki swung his fist at Izuku. "Why?" Izuku grabbed his wrist. So Katsuki kicks him with an explosive kick.

Izuku grunts as he was hit.

"Why?" Katsuki went for another attack but Izuku perform an upright kick at 15% to push Katsuki back with the wind pressure.

"Tell me!" The kick pushes Katsuki to the ground.

Izuku pants and realize his mistake. "Hey. Are you all right?" Izuku run up to Katsuki and tried to give him his hand.

Katsuki slaps his hand away. "Don't you dare worry about me! Attack me!" He stood up and started to whine. "Why won't you fight back why did I end up having to chase after someone who was always so far behind me? Why did a damn small fry like you get strong and become the number-one hero's sidekick? His favorite? You got so much better. But I'm here left in the dust. What the hell am I supposed to do?!"

"No. He's been putting himself down for this long. It didn't matter who won or lost. That wasn't the point. Even so. I felt like I had to go through with it. Because in that moment. I was the only person in the world who understood how Kacchan felt. We both needed to be as strong as All Might." Both Izuku and Katsuki launch themselves at each other for an attack. However, Izuku's attack would connect first and he would kick Katsuki right in the face. Izuku took a quick breath. "If I'm gonna do this. I'm going all out." Izuku plans to use 20% of One for All for a short burst just like what he did with Stain, to not tear his muscles apart. Izuku spoke to Katsuki. "I refuse to be your punching bag, Kacchan. Let's go!" He challenges Katsuki. "He just needed to vent his emotions, and fighting was the only way he knew how. I couldn't ignore him or run off. Not after everything we'd been through. Our relationship with one another was screwed up. Kindergarten, elementary, middle school, high school. We'd known each other for so long, but until that point... we'd never talked about how we felt."

Katsuki blasted into the sky to come crashing down.

"Above!" Izuku correctly predicted and dodge by jumping up. He was blasted back by the force "That was close." He gasps.

"Can't let him think." Katsuki twists and turns to create an explosive vortex that shatters the street below.

Izuku saw Katsuki coming. "He'll be on me before I land." Izuku simply latches onto the nearby building using Blackwhip and pulls back.

Katsuki yelled with frustration as he had to change his strategy. His back started to light up and every sweat on his back and jetpack exploded, launching him towards Izuku to deliver a punch to the gut. "My BrahMos pack..." Is what he called the support item.

Izuku crash through a wall. He looked up and saw Katsuki still charging at him, so he jump out to the other side of the building and escape as Katsuki blasted the spot where he was laying at.

Katsuki pop out of the building's window and blasts Izuku in the back.

"No time to catch my breath." Izuku grunts.

Katsuki yells as he sends another barrage of explosions that threw Izuku to the ground. He looked down at the smoke and debris where Izuku should be. Katsuki then felt a sharp pain on his chin, he didn't realize that it was an air bullet from Izuku's air force.

Katsuki fell, but not before using explosions to safely land on the floor. Out of the smoke, he saw Izuku panting. He was tired.

"It's no good. He's not giving me any time to try and predict his moves. His reaction time has gotten faster. Much better than the last time we fought." Izuku spoke. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised that we've both been getting stronger." He smiles

"What're you smiling about, huh?!" Katsuki started to go off the offensive again and blast Izuku away. "I thought you weren't gonna be my punching bag!"

Izuku got up and jump foward. "I'm not!"

"I bet you've got some kinda plan up your sleeve." Katsuki use Point-Blank Stun Grenade, but Izuku saw this coming and cover his eyes with one arm and use the other to perform an Air Force flick to hit the stomach.

Katsuki grunts from the attack. "That's one of the things I hate most about you!" Katsuki blasted and tried to swipe at Izuku, but the green boy jump out of the way. "I can never tell what you're thinking. No matter how much I beat you up, you keep coming back!" Katsuki grunts. He realizes that his adrenaline is slowing down, allowing the pain of using so many huge explosions to course throughout his body. But he kept moving. "It's obvious you've always looked down on me. Even when we were kids."

Izuku gasp. Did he seriously think that?

Katsuki grunts from the pain. "You think you're better than me. But if you seriously believe you're gonna surpass me as a hero, even with your new power, you better think again, Deku!"

"Wait. Is that what you believed? All this time? Think about this, Kacchan. If I looked down on you, I wouldn't want anything to do with you anymore." He clenches his fist. "But I'm still here. I noticed things you couldn't all these years because I had nothing at first. There were things I hated about you, sure. But I could see how amazing you were. You had so much going for you that I didn't have." Izuku uses 15% One for All, ready to continue the fight.

During this, Katsuki was stunned to hear how Izuku always saw him and looked up to him.

Izuku ran faster than ever before. "All Might was my hero, but you were the one actually in my life."

"He's faster than before." Katsuki took notice.

"Because I was so emotional. I lost a bit of control. I'd been only using 20% for short bursts. But I didn't realize how much stronger my body had gotten thanks to all the training and testing." Izuku was about to perform a kick.

"Gotta dodge!" Katsuki lit all four limbs to prepare to dodge Izuku's attack.

"My continuous whole body limit had been raised to 20% now. No longer need it for a short burst." Ever since he was young, he always chase after Katsuki. "I thought you were incredible, Kacchan. I wanted to see... what you'd become!"

Izuku completely missed Katsuki, but the wind pressure was able to tear the street and push Katsuki so far back and into a building. "That's the reason... I kept chasing after you!" "I wasn't prepared for a new level of speed. But I quickly adapted. Going from a continuous 15% to 20% percent is a dramatic change."

"That's the reason... I kept chasing after you!" Katsuki gritted his teeth as Izuku leveled up again. "You passed me." Katsuki blasted forward as Izuku ran forward.

Both hits slam into each other. Katsuki tried again but Izuku twirled his leg around and hit him, stunning Katsuki. Izuku then spins and hits him in the head. Katsuki blasts backward to gain space.

Katsuki grunts.

He held his head as he felt the pain. "He kicked into a higher gear." Katsuki gasped as Izuku was still fighting harder than ever.

"Is that all you've got?" Izuku yelled.

Katsuki yelled as he get back into the fight.

"I'd never admit something like this to your face. But the truth is..." He remembers his first fight with Katsuki. "Can't you see? That's why I wanna beat you. Because you're amazing!" Izuku started to admit it to himself. "When I get riled up and my desire to win surpasses my desire to save someone, without meaning to, I start talking like you. You're so mean sometimes. And I hate it. But my idea of victory is so tied to the image of you in my head that, in those moments, I can't help but imitate you."

"Hurry up. Do it, you damn nerd. I'll keep fighting. I'll break myself. Even if there's nothing left of me. I will win the way I want to. I'll destroy myself before I accept defeat at your hands. You got that?" Katsuki jumped up and started to perform his Howitzer Impact.

"I didn't jump without a plan." Izuku uses two Blackwhip to slingshot himself with a 20% kick with Katsuki's name on it. "I'm not nice enough to let him pummel me just to relieve a little stress."

Both yell as they unleash his ultimate moves. But before they could connect a figure stood between them.

"Stop this right now. Both of you." All Might stand between the two and quickly slam both students to the ground. He landed and saw the two student's injured bodies. "Did I let it go on for too long?" He questions himself.

"I'm sorry. But I heard what you've said." Toshinori apologizes.

"All Might." Katsuki stood up.

"I didn't notice before. I should have." Toshinori said.

"It's too late now." Katsuki turns away from Toshinori. "Why did you pick Deku? It started when the sludge villain came, didn't it? So why him?"

"He was powerless. But still more heroic than anyone else. I knew you were strong. That much was obvious. You were someone who couldn't already fight. So, I decided that he should have the chance to stand in the ring."

Katsuki gritted his teeth. "But now you know I'm weak, too. I always wanted to be like you, which meant being as strong as possible. But look what I did to us. Because I'm not good enough."

Toshinori steps closer to Katsuki. "This is not your fault, Young Bakugo. You are strong. But I focused too much on your physical strength and overlooked what was important." He hugs the now tearing up Katsuki. "This isn't your burden. I apologize. Sometimes I forget that you're children."

Katsuki threw Toshinori's arms away from him.

"After being a hero for so many years, you learn a few things. Striving to be the best, like you, Young Bakugo. And caring deeply about people- about rescuing those in trouble, like you, Young Midoriya." Toshinori said that last for Izuku. "Both of those feelings are necessary in-hero. Otherwise, they'll never truly be able to represent justice. That's why you admire his strength so much, Young Midoriya. And I know that's why you've always feared his heart and spirit, Young Bakugo. Now that you've laid your feelings out on the table, maybe you can understand each other. If you have mutual respect and focus on making one another stronger. I've no doubt you'll become the ultimate heroes, winning and saving people at the same time."

Both boys looked at each other, wondering if that could be true soon.

"Dammit. That's not what I wanted to hear." Katsuki sat down in disappointment. "You. You had the strongest in the world lay the groundwork for you. Don't you dare struggle again?"

"I'll work harder so that I can beat you." Izuku promises.

Katsuki sighs. "Okay, so talk. Who knows about you two?"

"Recover Girl and Principal Nezu do. And of course, Sir Nighteye does as well. As far as students go... Only you." All Might answered.

"And you don't want this to get out. 'Cause, that would be bad. Don't worry your secret's safe with me." Katsuki looked around and see most of the cameras in their area were destroyed by his fight with Izuku. "I won't tell anyone what's going on. Unlike Deku, I can keep my mouth shut. This will stay between us."

"Thanks, Kacchan." Izuku was grateful for that.

"I don't deserve this. I should be down on my hands and knees begging for you to keep this secret for me. Yet here you are, being considerate and helping me out. Thank you." All Might thank Katsuki for his kindness.

"I'm not doing this for you. It would just be a real pain if this got out and mess stuff up." Katsuki said.

"Now that it's come to this, I can explain what happened between me and Young Midoriya. That's only fair.

All Might told him everything. How One for All come to be. And how it was used to fight a great evil that was on the horizon. All Might even told him how he use the power to become the Symbol of Peace and ended up getting an injury due to the fight with the great evil. And how that injury limited his strength, forcing him to choose a successor. Even told him about what little info they have about the extra Quirks within One for All.

"If this got out people be confused, and they'd start wondering where the power is. You idiot. What were you thinking when you first told me about it?" Katsuki scolds Izuku. "The only thing this info changes is that I have to get stronger even faster."

All Might chuckles when he remembers Katsuki's declaration. "I'm gonna end up being the number- one hero no matter what!" He's happy the kid has that strive. "True. You're right about that."

"Things aren't gonna be the same, though, Deku. You got that?" Katsuki said that got Izuku's attention. "You've been watching me and everyone around you, absorbing what you see to get stronger. Well, I can do the exact thing and keep getting better myself. Especially as you'll be too busy trying to control those other weak Quirks. I'll go higher even you, Chosen One."

"Right, then I guess I'll just have to be better than that." Izuku challenge Katsuki.

"You what?" Did Katsuki have cotton in his ears?

"I have to go higher than you." Izuku was determined to reach that goal.

Katsuki grunts. "Dammit, nerd. I just said I was gonna be the one to surpass you."

"I know! And now I'm saying that I'm gonna go beyond that level." Izuku told him.

"What?!" Katsuki yelled.

"They've become proper rivals now. In a way that they weren't before." All Might smiles.

Soon, the timer ran out. "Team Midoriya and Bakugo ran out of time. Exam over. All matches for the practical portion of Class 1-A's final have now been completed." The robotic voice has announced.

—————————————————————

After the exam, both students had to be healed from their injuries.

"Smooch!" Recovery Girl heals Izuku's injuries. She sigh.

"Thank you very much Recovery Girl, I think I feel better." Izuku groans through the pain.

"All Might, how could you allow this?" Recovery Girl asked him.

"Look, I felt like they needed to vent out their frustration, that way they'll become better rivals in the future." All Might tried to justify his actions.

Recovery Girl groans in frustration looking at their injuries. "There could've been a better way going about it. And telling Bakugo about One for All is another whole can of worms that I didn't expect."

"I won't tell anyone, promise." The calm Katsuki promises.

Recovery Girl huff. "For now, the two of you should stay here and rest."

"Yes, ma'am. Thanks again." Izuku said.

"Thanks." Katsuki said.

"You both so much stronger than when we first met that something I hardly recognize either of you." All Might look out the window and into the future. "I can't wait to see how much stronger you both get."

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, the League of Villains members grew bigger with Dabi and Toga. But after fighting with the two, Shigaraki leaves to blow off some steam.

—————————————————————

The next day, at the beginning of class.

"You fought each other?!" Mina screamed.

"Y-yeah." Izuku scratches his head in embarrassment.

"I knew you and Bakugo had a terrible relationship but seriously? And you two were one of the heavy hitters." Hanta commented.

"Ha! They said whoever failed the exams would have to skip training camp and live in summer school hell! So glad that not me!" Denki ironically laughs.

"You wanna die?" Katsuki's hands spark.

"N-no." Denki shut up right then right there.

"Maybe they'll end up letting us go! There might be a last-minute twist or somethin'." Izuku guesses.

Hanta grabs Izuku by the shoulder. "Stop, Midoriya. By saying that out loud, you're just jinxing yourself." Hanta points to Minoru. "I still can't believe you thought fighting during an important test was a good idea. I don't like Mineta, but did I fight him? No! You guys need to learn to be better." He was done lecturing Izuku.

"Yeah." Izuku understands.

"Hmph." Katsuki just arrogantly groans to himself.

"I'll bring you guys some camp souvenirs." Denki jokes.

Shota slams the door open which silence the entire class. "Once the bell rings you should be in your seats." He saw everyone was already in their seats. "Morning. Unfortunately, there are only two of you who did not pass your final exams. Bakugo, Midoriya." He calls for their attention.

Both look at him in anticipation and worry about what he's going to say.

"I don't know why you two thought it was a good idea to fight instead of completing the mission. Usually, I would give a harsh punishment for something like this, but failing the final exam is punishment enough. Speaking of the final exam, when it comes to the training camp in the woods... Everyone is going!" Shota surprise the students.

"It's a last-minute twist!" Both Katsuki and Izuku thought.

"Really!" Izuku sighs in relief.

"Good." Katsuki mumbled.

"Yeah. The good news is that no one bombed the written exam. Two failed the practical badly for reasons previously stated. Allow me to explain. For the practical battles, the teachers made sure to leave a way for the students to win. Otherwise, you never would have stood a chance. We were interested in observing how you each worked together and approached the task at hand." Shota explains the true purpose of the practical exam.

"But didn't you promise that the teacher wouldn't be holding back?" Mashirao pointed out.

"That was just to get you on edge. Besides, the training camp will focus on building your strength. Those who failed need those lessons the most. We were never going to separate you. That was just a logical deception we used." Shota smiles looking at Izuku's and Katsuki's dumbfounded expressions.

"A logical deception?" They both thought.

"You tricked me?! How many times are you going to lie to me, you bastard!" Katsuki yelled at Shota.

"Yes. Aren't you afraid we'll lose faith in you?" Tenya interjects into the conversation.

"A little blunt there, you two." Ochako commented.

"That's a good point. I'll consider it. But I wasn't lying to you about everything. Failure is a failure. We've prepared extra lessons for the two of you." Shota told them and watched as their faces turn gloomy. "Frankly, they'll be far tougher than what you'd face at summer school."

—————————————————————

Soon, it was the end of the school day, and Class 1-A decided to go to the mall to shop. After everyone splits up, Shigaraki finds Izuku. Their interaction goes the same as in canon.

—————————————————————

Before UA High School 1st Semester Closing Ceremony. Toshinori, Katsuki, and Izuku all have a meeting to talk about Izuku's future Quirks.

"So, this will be the first time Young Bakugo will be with us." Toshinori set aside a cup of tea he was drinking.

"Yeah..." Katsuki still couldn't get used to looking at All Might's deflated form. "Did he fuck you up that bad?" He references the great evil.

"Kacchan!" Izuku yelled at Katsuki.

"What?!" Katsuki yelled back.

"It's okay. We have more important matters to deal with." Toshinori reveals a new notebook. A notebook that shows all the info they have on the previous One for All users' Quirks. "Sir Nighteye apologize that he couldn't figure everything out. But you have to keep moving forward." He lay the notebook on the table. "The next step is yours. Read closely. He collected as many details about One for All's successors as possible. Unfortunately, he couldn't find so much as a whisper about the second or third users. Given the times that they lived through and the nature of their ability, the official records aren't going to be helpful to us. We've also not sure what they knew about the power. If they realize how it worked. I assumed they'd want to help out future wielders?"

"Who cares about a bunch of dead old heroes? I'm tired of wasting my time waiting for you guys to figure stuff out." Katsuki complains.

"When it comes to Blackwhip, I can only maintain the power for about one or two seconds so far. I haven't mastered any capture moves like Sero or Mr. Aizawa. But as a support ability, I think it's already a useful addition to my move set." Izuku said.

"And you haven't had any contact since last time?" Toshinori asked.

"Briefly during Stain." Izuku answered

Katsuki grabbed the notebook and read through it. "The fifth user was called Lariat. Guess that makes sense. Real name: Daigoro Banjo. Quirk: Blackwhip. Thanks to the threads of energy he shot from his body, he excelled at capture and midair maneuvers. One thing is obvious. None of these people started with Quirks that were even worth mentioning. So it's no wonder I haven't heard of these nobodies." Katsuki insulted.

Izuku took offense to that. "Huh? What are you talking about? Their powers are amazing!" Izuku defended.

"Yeah 'cause from the perspective of a loser like you, any Quirk is amazing." Katsuki said.

"That's mean. You know how to hit me where it hurts." Izuku commented.

"What Young Bakugo said isn't technically wrong. From what we know, All for One was obsessed with this Quirk. During a time when evil had more power than you could comprehend now. All for One crushed anybody who could be considered strong. That was made possible by his perseverance and wide-ranging influence." Toshinori told them the roles of this story. "As they died, struggling, in terrible pain, the past users entrusted this power to the future, adding to its legacy. They weren't "chosen ones." They were just "the people who received the power" and "the people who passed it on" in a fight that kept repeating itself. "

Izuku understands.

"Yeah, that tracks. No wonder they all died young." Katsuki wasn't surprised.

Izuku gasps, feeling bad for them.

"Yes. True." Toshinori gloomy said.

"So? What Quirk are you gonna make the damn nerd learn to use next?" Katsuki asked.

"The next power you should manifest is Float." Toshinori answered with a smile.

Both students were interested in what it is.

"My master's ability." Toshinori told them the origin of the Quirk.

"A new ability? And from Nana Shimura. All Might's master!" Izuku was excited to learn the Quirk of All Might's master.

"I win!" Katsuki loudly cackles. "I use my explosions to fly. You're gonna waste time learning something I've been able to do forever! While you're crashing and burning, I'll hone my skills even more. In other words, I'll rocket ahead of you! Chock on my smoke!" Katsuki made a point, even though he didn't have to be aggressive about it.

"Un. Nuh-uh." Izuku disagrees. "I'll learn it fast and catch back up to you."

"You'll probably panic, go out of control, and die!" Katsuki downplays Izuku's learning ability.

"No, I got the hang of Blackwhip quickly, so I should be able to-" Izuku was interrupted by Katsuki.

"Die!" Katsuki yelled.

"Please stop saying that." Izuku asked him to try and be kinder.

Toshinori smiles at the two rivals. "Well, anyway, me and Sir Nighteye set up a training regiment to help prepare you for the next Quirk."

"See!" Izuku yelled at Katsuki. Looks like the boy will be training to be prepared for the Float Quirk instead.

"Fine..." Katsuki just ignore it. He was more interested in what Sir Nighteye had in store.

"For this training to be effective, we also need Sero, Tsuyu, and Uraraka." Toshinori asked them to bring them for the training. "We have almost two months before the training camp."

"Two months..." Izuku couldn't wait.

—————————————————————

After their meeting, Toshinori decided to head to the teacher's office to get some work done. He checks his computer and saw he had an email. "Oh, that's right. I had an email." Toshinori gasped when he saw who it was from. "It's from Melissa?" He read and smile with glee. "I think can we postpone the training regiment for a few days."

—————————————————————

Days later.

Toshinori was having a quick nap about his young days with his old friend.

"All Might. Hey. All Might. Are you asleep?" Izuku asked.

Toshinori woke up from sleep and wondered what the Young Boy wanted. Both One for All users were on a private jet flying to the amazing place called I-island. "Somethin' the matter, Young Midoriya?" Toshinori asked.

"Look. We can see it!" Izuku planted his face on the window, looking out to see the island. "The floating city that can move anywhere. Home to over 10,000 scientists!" He geeks out over the circular island that floats on the entire ocean floor. "I can't believe this is where I get to start summer vacation, even though I thought we were going to train with Sir Nighteye." Izuku turns to Toshinori, wondering what happened to those plans.

"We still going to train. I just thought taking you on this trip first would be a lot of fun." Toshinori explains.

"Yeah, you're sure it's okay that I came along with you? It's not gonna be a problem?" Izuku was worried that people seeing him hanging out with the number one hero would be weird.

"Don't even think twice about it. The invitation was clear, Nighteye and I are welcome to bring whoever we want as our guest." Toshinori replied.

"Sir Nighteye is coming too?" Izuku didn't see him on the plane.

"He's on another plane with Mirio. He said we'll meet up with my friend." Toshinori told him.

The pilot chimes in through the speaker to announce their landing. Both pass through immigration as All Might asked Izuku what he knows about I-island. Izuku answered that I-island was made a moveable island with high-tech security as a way to protect some of the world's greatest minds' research. All Might and Izuku search for their friend while they take in I-island's beautiful imagery. The imagery of people using their Quirks freely with no consequences as they make music, food, and shows. While doing so, All Might was swarmed with fans and interviewers wanting to speak to him.

—————————————————————

Finally, they made it to some sort of advanced park.

"Oh, wow. I didn't think I'd get stopped for so long. I'm afraid at this point we're in terrible danger of being late." All Might wipe away the lipstick kisses he got from fans.

"Late for what?" Izuku asked.

"You remember the friend I mentioned? I wanted to drop in to see him since it's been a while." All Might answered. "Would you mind coming along?" All Might asked.

"You mean I'd get to meet one of your friends? Obviously, of course, I'll go!" Izuku was excited to meet the person. Is he a scientist? A world leader? An American Pro?

"By the way, I haven't told him about One for All or how I've passed the Quirk on to you, so keep everything under wraps, okay?" All Might whispers that little info to Izuku.

"Whoa, not even your close friend knows?" Izuku was surprised as it seems pretty much everyone close to All Might knows.

"Only because danger tends to follow anyone who knows the truth about my power. The more people know the more the risk." All Might explains.

"Oh, yeah, I see. For their safety, of course." Izuku understands "I can't forget how important it is to keep One for All a secret." He remembers how Toshinori warns him about the great evil that is All for One. But of course, someone like Katsuki was going to find out about One for All sooner or later. "That's right. I have to keep training so I'm ready when the time comes. I must learn to master One for All and its Quirks, as soon as I can!" Izuku promises to himself and others.

Soon, the two users look over the stairs of the park and see three figures. Both were curious about who they were but soon smile when they saw them.

"There you are, Uncle! Finally!" A blonde girl with blue eyes was hopping on a pogo stick. She leaps into All Might's arms. "And welcome, Uncle Might!"

"It's so good to see you, Melissa!" All Might cheered as he hug her.

Izuku was surprised and wondered if this was All Might's friend, but had his attention drawn somewhere else when someone grabs his shoulder. "Huh?" He turns and saw it was Mirio and Sir Nighteye.

"Heyyo!" Mirio said.

"Mirio! Nice to see you!" Izuku's expression changed from that to happy from fear when he saw Sir Nighteye. "A-and it's nice to see you two, S-sir." He shivers.

"I heard. We'll talk later." Sir Nighteye already heard how Izuku's final exam went.

"Oh." Izuku kinda guesses Sir Nighteye already knew.

"All Might, don't you want to introduce this person to Izuku?" Sir Nighteye asked.

"Oh yes. This is Melissa. My friend Dave's daughter!" All Might introduced him to Melissa.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Melissa Shield." She offers her hand to Izuku.

"That makes sense." Izuku muttered to himself. He originally thought Melissa was All Might's friend and was confused about why someone who supposes to be around All Might's age looked about seventeen.

"Huh, what's that?" Melissa was curious about what he said.

Izuku took off his glove to shake her hand. "Uh. Nothing! Uh, hi, it's nice to meet you. I'm a first-year student-" Izuku was interrupted by Melissa.

"A first-year student from UA High School. Izuku Midoriya. Togata here told me all about you." Melissa shakes his hand.

"I did." Mirio smiles.

"Thanks." This makes things easier, Izuku thought.

"You're also in the hero course. That is why you know Uncle Might since he's one of the teachers. How's Uncle Might teaching you?" Melissa asked

"He'll be a great pro one day." All Might gas Izuku up.

Melissa was impressed that All Might of all people complimented someone like Izuku. He must be really strong. "You must have a promising future?"

"Well..." Izuku was interrupted by Sir Nighteye.

"It's debatable as of right now." Sir Nighteye said.

"Oh... so what kind of Quirk do you have?" She asked Izuku.

"It's a power slash energy type!" Izuku lied about his Quirk.

"The costume's cool. It's somehow simplistic yet overly design." She took a look at the metal cleats and Air Force gloves. "Those are cool support items! What do they do?"

"She's so close to me." Izuku still couldn't handle girls near him.

Melissa notices and examines Izuku's scarred hand from his fight with Shoto. "It looks like you should think about upgrading your gear a bit."

All Might cough into his hand. "Melissa, shall we?"

Melissa stood up. "Oh! Sorry, I got distracted. Heh." She ran off and grabbed his pogo stick which ended up compacting into a wristband. This compacting tech was created by her father, David. "If we hurry we can surprise Papa in his lab! It's right over here." She leads the four heroes to her father's location.

—————————————————————

David was getting some work in his lab with his assistant Samuel until his daughter enter the room with a guest.

"Melissa, hey!" He didn't see her enter the room.

"Hello, Miss, it's so good to see you." Samuel complimented.

"Aw, right back at ya, Sam. Thanks for always taking care of Papa since he does nothing but work here constantly." Melissa was grateful.

Both men chuckle.

"Come on, I'm not that bad. To what do we owe the pleasure?" David asked his daughter.

"Oh, you'll see. Since you completed the first stage of your research. I invited some people here to celebrate with us." Melissa told her father.

"Who would that be?" David didn't know a lot of people due to his busy work life.

"A person you dearly love and some of his friends." Melissa reveals him to her father.

David gasp and smile when he saw his old friend.

"Yes, I am here! Shaking with emotion for our heartfelt reunion!" All Might yelled and pose so much that both Izuku and Sir Nighteye started to geek out as they have the posters with those poses.

"Toshi... A-all Might?" David was beyond happy.

"Is it you?" Even Samuel was stunned by All Might's presence.

"I came all this way just to see you. Dave, old buddy." All Might grabbed and hugged David.

"Well. Papa, are you totally surprised?" Melissa wonders how her father liked her surprise.

"Uh. Yeah. Completely astounded." David couldn't stop smiling as he was finally with his old friend again.

"We both have Melissa to thank for that. Man, how long has it been?" All Might jokes.

"Oh, now, come on. Don't make me say it. I already feel old enough, ya jerk." David played with All Might.

Both men in their 50s laughed.

"You do have a point. Glad to see you again, my friend." All Might was grateful for all the memories they made together.

"Agreed. I've missed you, too."

Both men fist bumped each other.

"Young Midoriya, Nighteye, and Young Togata. Let me introduce you to someone incredible-" He was interrupted by Nighteye and Izuku.

"David Shield! We know him! Professor David Shield! A top scientist in the research world who received a Nobel Quirk Prize! He was All Might's partner when he lived in America. And he's a genius when it comes to costumes. All Might's Young Age. Bronze Age. The Silver Age. And, of course, the Golden Age. He's the inventor who created each of those iconic looks! We never thought we'd get to meet him in real life. We're just so moved!" Both Nighteye and Izuku start to pounce on David and examine him.

Both Melissa and Mirio chuckles at the weird situation that was going on.

"Well, it seems I don't have to introduce myself." David push them so he could have space.

Both fans gain some composure.

"Uh... Oh, wow. I'm sorry!" Izuku bows in apology.

"Me too!" Sir Nighteye also quickly bows.

"No, don't apologize." David was cool with it.

All Might cough into his mouth signaling David that it's time.

"Listen, it's been a long time. Can you the four of you give All Might and me a little time to catch up?" David asked of them.

"Yeah! Of course!" Izuku completely agrees.

"Melissa. Why don't you take our new friends on a tour around the expo?" David asked of his daughter.

"Sure thing. Papa. Sounds like fun." Melissa felt honored to

"You're not busy?" Izuku expected the daughter of a top scientist to be busier.

"No, I'm honored to show off our hard work to future heroes. Right, this way." She leads all three heroes to the expo.

"Thanks! This is so nice of you!" Izuku said.

"All right! Let's see some flying metal suit!" Mirio was ecstatic.

"Yeah! And Nighteye! Watch over the kids while we're busy!" All Might asked.

"Will do." Sir Nighteye was glad to take on the role.

Everyone leaves the room except for David, Samuel, and All Might, however, David asked Samuel to leave the room also so he wouldn't see All Might's deflated form.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, the three heroes and Melissa were walking down the hall when Melissa got curious.

"So, what do you want me to call you guys?" Melissa asked. "By your real name, or do you have a hero one already?"

"We..." Izuku ponders on this for a second. "Why don't you call me Deku?"

"Deku? That's kind of a strange nickname." Melissa pointed out

"That's what I said." Mirio said before scruffing up Izuku's hair. "But hey, it's still a pretty cool name."

"You can stick with Melissa for me." Melissa said. "Oh! What's your hero name?" Melissa asked Mirio.

"It's Lemillion!" Mirio cheered.

"Lemillion?" Melissa found that name also strange.

While Mirio and Melissa were talking among themselves, Sir Nighteye pulls Izuku aside.

"H-hey, Sir!" Izuku stutters.

"Midoriya... I'm disappointed you failed the final exam. How could you fail!? I had such high hope for you." Sir Nighteye starts to scold the boy for his failure.

"W-well, it's actually because Kacchan wanted to fight me." Izuku explains why it happened.

"Who's Kacchan." The fact that the boy wanted to fight Izuku during an important test already leaves a bad taste in Sir Nighteye's mouth.

"Oh boy..." Izuku knew that if he explains who Katsuki is and why he wanted to fight, Sir Nighteye probably despise the blonde boy forever for his rude attitude. But did he have a choice? "You see..."

While exploring the expo, Izuku tells Sir Nighteye all about Katsuki. Every single detail about him leaves Nighteye's face more and more frustrated.

"And that pretty much it..." Izuku fidgets with his fingers as he watches Sir Nighteye stand still.

"And you told him about One for All..." Sir Nighteye couldn't believe it.

"Y-yes." Izuku answered bluntly.

"I need time to process." Sir Nighteye wonders why to allow a demon child-like Katsuki to know the most important information in the world.

"Ok... I talk to you later." Izuku instantly switches to Mirio's and Melissa's conversation.

"You know, almost everything here was created using different inventions that Papa patented." Melissa told them.

"Amazing." Mirio commented.

"Wow, I bet you're proud of him." Izuku quickly enters the conversation with nervousness in his voice.

"These support items will help heroes around the world. Who knows how many people will be affected because of his hard work." She was amazed by her father's work.

"I think it's great that your dad is someone you can look up to like this." Izuku said.

Melissa turns her head to Izuku. "That because my dream is to become a scientist just like him." She reveals.

"That's lit!" Mirio cheered.

"Oh yeah? So does that mean you're training at the school here on the island?" Izuku correctly guesses.

"Mm-hm. I'm a third year." Melissa told them her grade.

"The I-Island Academy is where everyone who dreams of becoming a scientist wants to go. You must be a real genius!" Izuku believe.

"Oh no, I've still got a lot to learn. Honestly, I should be studying much more." Melissa doubts herself.

"Oh, come on! You're the daughter of David Shield! I'm sure you'll overcome any problem using your brain power!" Mirio comforts Melissa.

"I feel the same. If I'm gonna be a hero like All Might. I've gotta train even harder." Izuku will not fall behind Katsuki.

"But of course, if you feel the need to improve, do so. There's no telling what kind of inventions you could create." Sir Nighteye encouraged Melissa before going back to hating Katsuki in his mind.

"I'm grateful for all the words of encouragement you guys have been giving me lately." She hugged Mirio before hugging Izuku.

"A-ah!" Izuku blushes as he feels her chest on his arm.

"Look like you're having fun, Deku." Ochako appears out of thin air.

Izuku jumped. "Uh...! Huh, Uraraka? What are you doing here?" Izuku asked.

"A classmate?" Mirio asked.

"Yes." Izuku answered.

"It looks like you're having fun." Ochako was a bit jealous seeing Melissa hug Izuku.

Momo pretends to cough to grab Izuku's attention.

Izuku turn and saw her. "Yaoyorozu?"

"You appear to be having a good time." Momo said, suspicious of Izuku's actions.

"Midoriya. I heard everything." Kyoka said with her earphone twirling around like they are ready to box.

"Jiro's Earphone Jack! The ultimate spy tech." Izuku said.

"What's wrong?" Melissa didn't see the problem.

"I didn't tell them I'll be here." Izuku answered.

"Oh, guys, this is my friends Melissa, Togata, and Sir Nighteye. Melissa was just showing us around the Expo a little bit." Izuku introduced them to his classmates.

"Sir Nighteye..." Momo remembers that name.

"Oh yeah! He was All Might's former sidekick." Ochako pointed out.

"Oh! That's why you're here, Izuku." Kyoka said.

"Speaking of All Might. My dad and Uncle Might are good fr..." Melissa was pulled aside by Izuku.

Izuku screams and pulls her aside to talk privately. "I'm sorry. Please don't tell them I came here as All Might's guest. It's kind of a big secret, okay?" Izuku begs Melissa.

"But why is that?" Melissa then jumped a bit when Sir Nighteye enter the conversation.

"For reasons. Just say I bought him here." Sir Nighteye asked Melissa.

"Your secret's safe." Melissa had her lips locked. She turns to the girls. "How about we grab tea at the cafe?"

—————————————————————

Meanwhile later, at an outside cafe.

"Wow! Did you get to work with pro heroes? Like, out in the field?" Melissa asked the heroines.

"Just normal training and few patrols." Ochako didn't think it was that cool.

"I helped out with hostage crisis, but only the evacuation part." Kyoka also thought her experience wasn't cool.

"That's still amazing, though." Melissa was still fond of that.

"Somehow, I ended up in a TV commercial for hair products." Momo was upset by her lack of experience during her internship.

"Sounds like an experience. Lucky." Melissa kept Momo's head up.

"I'm saved. They're not questioning anything." Izuku sighs.

"You ok?" Mirio asked Izuku.

"Yeah." Izuku replied.

Two people handed Izuku, Sir Nighteye, and Mirio their drinks.

"Thanks for waiting."

Izuku recognizes that voice. "I know that voice." He looked up and saw Denki. "Kaminari!"

"Another classmate?" Sir Nighteye asked.

"Yes." Izuku answered. He notices that the short waiter was Minoru. "Is that... Mineta? What're you two doing here?" Izuku asked.

"They needed extra wait staff and since it meant a free trip to the island we applied to work. Right?" Denki looks down at Minoru.

"We get to explore the expo on our breaks. And we make some money. Plus, there's the chance we'll have a passionate encounter with some of the cute..." Minoru and Denki saw Melissa. "Oh, my God. I think I'm in love."

Both students grabbed Izuku aside. "Hey, Midoriya, who's the high-voltage over there?" Denki asked.

"Don't be greedy, introduce us." Minoru wanted to know.

"Well... That's um..." Izuku didn't want to answer these two pervs.

"Ah-!" Both Denki and Minoru were grabbed by the ear by Sir Nighteye.

"Are these future heroes?" Nighteye couldn't and didn't want to imagine these two boys becoming heroes.

"Are they also your classmates?" Melissa asked Momo.

"Unfortunately, yes." Momo sighs.

"Why are you two slacking off- oh." Tenya ran towards Denki and Minoru but saw Sir Nighteye had it covered.

"Wait, Iida?" Izuku was surprised he was here.

Mirio slid next to Melissa. "Wow, there's a lot of classmates here. Hey, let's make a bet on how many of Izuku's classmates are also here." Mirio chuckles.

"Yeah, I bet at least nine." Melissa bet.

"Maybe... ten." Mirio bet.

"I came from a long line of heroes. It's to be expected that we received an invitation to the Expo. But my family was busy, so it's just me." Tenya explains his reason for being here.

"Woah! You must be an amazing hero with all that family knowledge." Mirio complimented.

"Thanks." Tenya smiles at that compliment.

"I wondered if you'd be here. I received an invitation because my father's a shareholder in some of the expo's sponsor companies. It'll be so fun for all of us to go to the preview." Momo explains why she is here too.

"Yeah. And she had a few extra plus ones." Kyoka remembers how she and Ochako won the tickets by playing rock, paper, and scissors with their other classmates. "So, after an impartial game of chance, the two of us ended up joining the fun as her guests."

Ochako shakes her head to confirm it. "The other girls are here. They just can't visit the preview."

"Oh, are they?" Izuku said.

"Due to Sir's connection with All Might, he was invited to the Expo with a plus one-" Mirio was interrupted by Sir Nighteye.

"I had two plus ones and decided to bring Togata and Midoriya here." Sir Nighteye lied.

"But that not..." Mirio was pulled aside by Sir Nighteye to explain why they can't tell anyone Izuku come here with All Might.

"So we're planning to look around together once the expo opens up to the public tomorrow." Momo planned out.

"Here's a thought. Why don't I show you girls the sight?" Melissa suggested.

All three heroines were excited.

"You're sure you have time?" Ochako asked.

Melissa nods her head to answer yes.

"That's awesome!" All three cheered.

"Please take us with you!" Both Denki and Minoru yelled as their ears were still in Sir Nighteye's hands.

The entire cafe and everyone shook and they heard an explosion coming off in a distance.

"Whoa, what was that noise?" Izuku turns to where he felt the explosion coming from.

—————————————————————

Everyone went to investigate the explosion and when they got there they all saw it was from inside some sort of training arena. It was a large mountain filled with villain robots.

"A clearance time of 33 seconds. He's in eighth place!" The female announcer placed Eijiro in eighth place.

"Kirishima?" Izuku wonders how he got here.

"So I'm guessing he's from UA, as well!" Melissa guesses.

"Yeah, he's in the same class as us." Izuku answered.

"Please welcome our next challenger!"

Izuku was stunned to see it was Katsuki. "Kacchan?"

"So that's him." Sir Nighteye analyzes the blonde.

"The Villain Attack course had been reset. Ready, Go!" The female announcer signal Katsuki to get going.

Katsuki flew and destroy each robot faster than before. "Die!" He yelled at the final robot.

"Die?" Nighteye thought to himself. He didn't like the boy, because just by looking at him you could tell he was a very prideful one, and the word die with the devious smile isn't suited for a hero.

"Look at that time! Only 8 seconds! First place!" The female announcer said.

Katsuki landed on the ground, proud of his score.

"Hey. Isn't that Midoriya in the stands?" Eijiro pointed out.

Katsuki looked up and saw Izuku with Sir Nighteye. He blast up and landed in front of the broccoli kid. "Damn it! What are you doing here, Deku?" He yelled.

"Uh, hey there, Kacchan. Maybe calm down a little, because..." Izuku points towards Sir Nighteye.

"So, what?!" Katsuki yelled louder before having his ear grabbed and twisted by Nighteye.

"Behave!" Sir Nighteye's anger harmed. Katsuki's pride a bit.

"Why is that boy so angry?" Melissa asked.

"That's just who he is." Kyoka answered.

"He and Deku are fated rivals." Ochako also answered.

"Midoriya and Togata would make better rivals." Sir Nighteye insulted Katsuki.

"What did you say?!" Katsuki yelled.

"So, Kirishima, you two got asked to I-Expo as well?" Momo wrongfully guess.

"Nah, Bakugo was invited since he win the UA Sports Festival. I just tagged along with him. You guys gonna do this villain course, or what?" Eijiro asked.

"Sure!" Mirio was ready to head down but he was stopped by Sir Nighteye.

"Can you let Midoriya go first?" Nighteye asked kindly.

"Ok, I don't mind." Mirio allows.

"Pfft! There's no way Deku will get a better score than I did- Argh!" Katsuki's ear was twisted again. "Stop it four eyes!"

"Just go, Midoriya." Sir Nighteye demanded.

A little bit later...

"We've got a new challenger coming in at the last minute! Will he end up on the top, or fail in front of the entire Expo?" That last line didn't give him confidence.

Izuku activates One for All throughout his body at 20%. "If I'm doing this, I'm gonna go for it. One for All... Full Cowling!"

"The attack course is set. Ready. Go!" The announcer yelled.

Izuku leaps and blitzes each one of the robots using Blackwhip and Airforce and his punches in quick motivations. All with a smile on his face.

During that Melissa notices that Izuku seems to restrain his power.

"An incredible run! He's in first place at 7 seconds!" That got the crowd to cheer for Izuku.

"He has such explosive speed. And that destructive power. It's just like Uncle Might's! But..." Melissa thought to herself.

"Wow!" Ochako cheered.

"That was a good showing." Tenya complimented.

"You destroyed everyone with your power!" Mirio pats Izuku on the head.

"I didn't think I'd be able to surpass him." Izuku was happy with his achievement.

"Damn it! He is already ahead of me so soon!" Katsuki gloomed over himself.

"That's what I call a hero. Someone powerful who helps others with a heroic smile and not a demonic one." Sir Nighteye told Katsuki before walking toward Izuku to congratulate him.

"Damn it!" Katsuki mumbles to himself. He wonders why does Nighteye despise him so much? Did Izuku say something?

Everyone shook as they felt something burst. They look at the arena and saw Shoto making an ice glider to destroy all the villain bots.

"This is insane! Fourteen seconds! This gentleman has jumped to third!" Everyone cheered for the son of Endeavor.

"Todoroki's here, too?" Izuku was surprised.

"Another one from UA?" Melissa asked.

"Yep! They all answered.

"Your class is amazing! You're gonna be such great heroes." Melissa complimented.

"Oh, please, you're too kind." Ochako blushes.

"Icy Hot bastard is here too?!" Katsuki yelled.

"Togata..." Sir Nighteye grabbed Mirio's attention.

"Got it." Mirio jumped down to the arena.

A little bit later...

"Go!" The announcer yelled.

Mirio sank to the ground which surprised everyone but Izuku and Nighteye.

"What the?" Shoto was eyes widened at where he went.

"Hey, Todoroki! Why are you on the island?" Izuku asked.

Shoto still had his eyes where Mirio was supposed to be. "My father was invited, so I'm representing him."

"Amazing! He tied in first place with 7 seconds!" The announcer yelled.

"What?!" Everyone was stunned. One moment, Mirio vanish, and then the next all the robots were destroyed.

Mirio chuckles phasing up to where everyone else is. "That was a great run!"

"How?" Ochako was curious.

"Simple! It's because of my Quirk: Density Change. I can increase my density to make myself heavier and harder or what I usually do is decrease my density to phrase through solid matter!" Mirio explains his Quirk to everyone.

"Wow!" Tenya said.

"A powerful Quirk indeed." Shoto complimented.

"Nope!" Mirio yelled to everyone. "It's actually because of my skill. My Quirk could potentially lead to fatal results for the user if handled incorrectly, my Quirk is very hard to control. I can turn different parts of my body to be intangible, specific steps need to be taken for me to move through walls and surfaces without me falling through the floor, with each step requiring great concentration, although my extensive training has made these processes far easier for me. And every time I use it to phrase through stuff, everything goes through. Like air, light, and sound."

"That sound really difficult to master." Momo commented.

"It is. Because it was Mirio's determination and handwork that made him number one in the Big 3." Sir Nighteye.

"Big 3?" Izuku never heard of that.

"The Big 3 are the three top hero candidates in all of Japan. And Togata here is number one, making him the closest he is to All Might." Sir Nighteye explains.

"Yep!" Mirio confirmed.

"Top hero candidate... Closest to All Might..." Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto were all stun that Mirio here is the ultimate goalpost.

"Wow! You must be manly to be on the top!" Eijiro said.

"I know." Melissa agrees.

"Yeah! Come we'll tell you more about it." Mirio and Sir Nighteye began to leave the arena area.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, the villains move forward with their attack.

David checks up on All Might's condition and was fearful of what could happen to society when he sees it has worsened since the last time they met.

Later, Denki and Minoru were given tickets to see the Expo by Melissa.

Katsuki and Eijiro got ready to go to the Expo.

David was fond over the early days with All Might saving and beating every villain. He was proud of his friend for making a safe society but was worried that society would be destroyed if All Might's injuries were to worsen.

The villains later make their first move.

Melissa decided to gift Izuku the full gauntlet, which allow him to use 100% of his power without backlash.

—————————————————————

Izuku enters the building where the party for the Expo is supposed to be.

"Sorry about that, you guys..." Izuku notices that barely anyone else was there. There was only Tenya, Shoto, Minoru, Denki, Mirio, and Sir Nighteye. "Uh, where is everybody?" Izuku asked.

"They're not here yet. Does a proper meeting time mean nothing to you people?" Tenya yelled.

"Why are you here, Sir?" Izuku asked Nighteye.

"Well, All Might asked me to make it my responsibility to chaperone you kids." Sir Nighteye answered.

"Oh." Izuku wanted to know something. "So how's your and All Might's friendship going?" He whispers to Nighteye.

"We're taking one step at a time." Sir Nighteye answered.

Ochako comes in in a beautiful dress. "Sorry, I'm late. It took me a while to get ready."

Both Denki and Minoru started to awe her. "Best night ever!"

Two more of the girls, Kyoka and Momo, enter the room. "Apologies for the tardiness. Jiro's feeling shy." Momo said as Kyoka was using her body to hide from the others.

"Jackpot! Yes-" Both Denki and Minoru had their ears pulled by Nighteye again.

"This is fancier than anything I've ever worn before. It feels like a costume." Kyoka was blushing.

Denki was rubbing his ear. "I'm just glad you're not in a t-shirt." Denki joked.

"Even the jacket can't ruin it." Minoru joked too.

Both guys were attacked by Kyoka's earphones.

"Shut up." Kyoka demanded.

"Why would you do that? It was a compliment." Denki lied.

"No, it wasn't." Kyoka knew.

"This is my first time in formal wear. I just borrowed something from Yaoyorozu." Ochako told Izuku the truth.

"It looks really good! Like perfect." Izuku was blushing a bit.

Ochako started to freak out. "Oh, Deku, stop..." She was blushing like crazy. "You don't have to flatter me so much."

"Contain yourself!" Both Tenya and Sir Nighteye yelled at Ochako.

Izuku noticed Mirio still wearing his hero costume for some reason. "Hey, Mirio. Why are you in your hero costume?" He asked.

"Oh! The reason is that I want to do some cool tricks for the party and I can't do that without my costume." Mirio explains.

"Why's that?" Ochako asked.

"Well, the reason my costume doesn't fall off me whenever I phrase through stuff is that it's made out of my hair. Meaning if I would wear regular clothes, they would just fall off. And no one wants to see that." Mirio told them the weird truth.

"Oh..." The whole room said. Then the whole room had their heads turn when two extra figures made it into the room.

"Sup!" Eijiro smiles at the group.

"Hey..." The calm Katsuki said.

"Sorry, we're late. Bakugo took a long time getting ready." Eijiro apologizes.

"Sound like him." Sir Nighteye insulted Katsuki.

Katsuki growls at that comment. "I'll show him."

The final guest has finally arrived. Both Denki and Minoru were awestruck by her appearance.

"Oh, good, I thought I was gonna miss you guys. Let's get downstairs to the party!" Melissa was wearing a blue dress and got rid of her glasses and then redid her hair for the party.

"The headliner had arrived!" Minoru cried tears of joy.

"Mineta, I can't take this much beauty, I think I might die!" Denki told him.

"These tickets were a mistake." Kyoka commented while looking at the two.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, as the party was about to start, the villains were able to get into the security system and use it to their advantage.

"This is an announcement from the I-island security system. We have received a report that an explosive device was discovered somewhere on the I-Expo grounds. I-island will now be in high-alert mode. Your safety is our top priority. Residents and tourists should return to lodgings. Anyone remaining on the street after ten minutes will violate the law." Robotic drones started to drive through the street telling everyone about the information as a shop and stores started close down.

"As a precautionary measure, most of the main island buildings will now be sealed off."

The entire building the heroes were in started to be sealed off with metal walls.

—————————————————————

The villains enter where the party should be and took everyone hostage. They took All Might into capture and threaten to kill everyone on the island as they have taken control of the entire security system and the high-tech robots.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, the main cast was wondering what was going on.

"I'm not getting any signal. It looks like my service is completely blocked." Sir Nighteye announced to the kids.

"Are you serious?" Minoru didn't believe it.

Kyoka tried to get the elevator to unlock but it wouldn't budge. "The elevator's not working either."

"What the heck is going on here?" Minoru worryingly questions.

"It's strange that the system would go on high alert. That's not the protocol whenever explosives are discovered." Melissa found that peculiar.

"Sir. Let's go to the party." Izuku told Sir Nighteye.

"Yes. Because that's the place we can find All Might right now." Sir Nighteye knew what Izuku was getting at.

"All Might is in there?" Eijiro didn't know All Might would be here.

"Oh, thank goodness, we don't have anything to worry about, then." Minoru sighs in relief.

"So, Melissa. Do you know of any way we can get down there without the elevator?" Izuku asked Melissa.

"I could drop in." Mirio said as he phrases through and floor. And a few seconds later he appeared again. "Yeah, there's villains."

"What?!" The whole room screamed.

"Are you sure about that?" Sir Nighteye asked Mirio.

"Scary masked guys with guns pointed at peoples' heads. Yeah, they're bad guys." Mirio told them what he saw.

"Did they see you?" Izuku was concerned if they were really bad guys.

"I don't think so. I was onto a platform that had a window looking down at the whole party. So I was actually in the room." Mirio response.

"But then why isn't All Might doing anything." Katsuki asked.

"Seems like they have him bound. I wouldn't put it past me that they threatening to kill some people if he moves." Mirio suggested.

Melissa remembers how her father is there. "We need to use the emergency stairs. That will at least get us close." Melissa points to the door that leads to the stairs.

"We'll follow your lead, then."

—————————————————————

The villains took David and his assistant Samuel to find an invention. Soon, Izuku was able to get All Might's attention by using his phone as a flashlight through the window looking down on everyone as previously stated by Mirio.

Izuku makes contact with All Might using Kyoka's Quirk. All Might told them that villains have taken control of the tower they're in and they should just escape to safety.

—————————————————————

"We've received All Might's orders loud and clear. He's our teacher. I suggest we follow his instructions and escape this place. Otherwise, we'd be going against his will." Tenya said.

"I'm afraid I have to agree with what Iida is saying. We're still only students. We can't fight these villains if we don't have our hero licenses." Momo agreed with Tenya.

"Well, we do." Mirio pointed to him and Sir Nighteye.

"But even so, we may not be enough to take down this many villains. Someone is bound to get hurt." Sir Nighteye explains why they can't fight either.

"Why don't we get outta here and tell the heroes outside?" Denki suggested to the group.

"It's not going to be very easy to escape. The security here is on the same level as that of Tartarus prison, which is where they keep the most dangerous criminals in the world!" Melissa told the group the reality of that plan.

"Then, all we can do is sit and wait until everything's over, I guess." Denki groans in sadness, wishing he could do more.

"Or we could defeat them without fighting." Sir Nighteye suggested.

"How would that work?!" Katsuki couldn't think of any other way of defeating the villains without fighting.

"Melissa, do you know where the security system is? We could ambush them and take back control." Sir Nighteye asked the young scientist.

Melissa nods. "It's on the top floor of this tower. If these criminals managed to take control of it, then the authentication locks and passwords have probably been disabled. We should be able to restart the system ourselves. We just have to stay off that villains' radar until we can get up to the top floor. That's all. If we do that, the whole island will be safe again." She explains.

"Then it settles. But the only question left is how do we keep on the low for that long?" Sir Nighteye wonders.

"The security system hasn't discovered us yet. That means the villains probably don't know how it works very well." Melissa figures it out.

"So we avoid fighting anyone and try to get the place back to normal. It could work." Shoto agrees with the plan.

"No bad. What do ya think?" Denki turns to Kyoka.

"Let's do it!" Kyoka agrees.

"Many of our enemies are likely gathered there on the top floor." Momo pointed out the flaw in the plan.

"Then if things go for worse, then as a Pro Hero I give you all to fight in self-defense." Sir Nighteye announced to the group.

"Yes!" Katsuki loudly cheered.

"Except for you, Bakugo." Sir Nighteye turns Katsuki's smiling face into a confused one.

"What?!" Katsuki yelled.

"Knowing how you act, you might instigate the attack." Sir Nighteye put down Katsuki.

Katsuki growls at Sir Nighteye as Eijiro tried to calm him down.

"Alright then. I guess it's time to show these crooks our power!" Mirio yelled, ready to go.

Everyone in the room agrees to go out and find the security system to save everyone, including All Might.

—————————————————————

David and Samuel are forced to go upstairs to open the vault to the invention the villains want.

—————————————————————

All the heroes went upstairs. With each floor they climb through, they grow more and more tired.

Tenya stopped and looked at what floor they were on thanks to the wall telling them. "Level 30." Tenya was surprised at how big this tower is.

Izuku turns back to Melissa. "Wait, Melissa. How high does it go?" He asked.

"The 200th floor." Melissa answered.

"The what?!" Denki thought that was way too tall.

"That's way too many stairs!" Minoru complained.

"But it's still better than running into the villains." Momo said.

"Midoriya, can't you use those black tendrils to carry us and run so quick to the top floor?" Denki suggested.

"I can't use my Blackwhip for more than one or two seconds, so I'm not much help here." Izuku explains why that won't work.

Both Denki and Minoru sighed in pain as they needed to rest.

The heroes continue to run up the stairs to the 80th floor where they find a metal barrier blocking the way.

"This route's blocked!" Tenya pointed out.

"What should we do? Break through it?" Shoto suggested.

"On it." Katsuki's hand started to spark.

"If we do that. I'm sure the security system would alert the villains that someone's in here." Melissa didn't think it was a good idea.

"Then why don't we go through the door instead?" Minoru grabbed the handle to open the door to the room, but before he can pull it, Sir Nighteye tightly grabbed his arm.

"Don't!" Sir Nighteye said.

"Ow! Ok! Just let go!" Minoru's arm was hurting.

"So what now?" Eijiro questions.

Mirio tried to weigh the barrier open without success. "Seal shut."

The heroes stand there, lost on what their actions should be.

"We should break the barrier down." Sir Nighteye suggests such a wild idea.

"Wait! Didn't you hear what Melissa said!" Tenya yelled at the Pro Hero.

"I know. But do we have much of a choice? It is either that or let the villains get what they probably want. We're back in a corner and the only way out is to punch a path ahead." Sir Nighteye told the group.

"Yeah... but wouldn't they send backup to kill us?" Mirio said.

"Not if we're fast." Sir Nighteye turns to Izuku. "Young Midoriya... I need you to carry it all up the stairs." He asked.

"But I can't-" Izuku was interrupted by Nighteye.

"I know why you think you can't. But you have to. The ability to be a hero is to push past one's limits to save everyone. I know you can hold Blackwhip for more than a second but you have to. You have to go beyond... Plus Ultra." Sir Nighteye saying that cheesy line inspired Izuku to go forward.

"Ok... I'll do it." Izuku activates One for All throughout his body and slowly starts to grab people with his Blackwhip.

"Don't touch me!" Katsuki yelled before getting the death stare from Nighteye. He froze before giving in. "F-fine..." Katsuki grumbled.

Melissa saw Izuku starting to twitch. "You ok?"

"If I use Blackwhip for too long, my body starts to hurt..." Izuku groans from the pain.

"Just focus! Fight through the pain." Sir Nighteye yelled.

"Alright! Let's do this." Izuku reveals his full gauntlet.

"You kept it?" Melissa was surprised.

"I didn't know how to take it off." Izuku reveals. "But with I can use 100% of my power without backlash right?" He asked Melissa.

"100%?" Everyone was wondering what was 100% of Izuku's power.

"Right. But try a lower percentage to be safe." Melissa didn't want Izuku to run up the stairs in such a narrow hallway. Someone could splat on the wall with a quick turn.

"Ok." Izuku uses 30% and launches a kick to destroy the barrier and then ran up each set of stairs in quick sessions.

—————————————————————

"Somethin's wrong?" The villain Swordkill asked his fellow villain.

A robotic eye villain answered. "A barrier in the stairway was just destroyed."

"What the hell? I thought you scanned each level and they were all clear." Swordkill took his cigarette outta his mouth.

The robotic villain's eye looked through the camera and saw multiple blurs pass through the cameras.

The villains contacted their boss, Wolfram.

—————————————————————

"How fast?" Wolfram questions through their earpiece.

"Fast. They might end up on the top floor soon." Swordkill answered.

"They're after the security system. Damn it." Wolfram grabbed his two most powerful henchmen. A tall and short man. "We can't let those kids escape."

All three villains walk out the door.

"Kids?! Midoriya!" All Might didn't know what the group was planning, but he wasn't liking it so far.

—————————————————————

The three villains enter an elevator to lift them to the top floor.

"Boss, those are no ordinary kids in the tower. They're students from UA High's hero course. They're well trained." Swordkill warns his boss. "Be on alert."

"Have you raised any more barriers to slow them down?" Wolfram asked.

"Yes. But they run past them before they could shut." Swordkill answered.

Wolfram sighs. "We'll handle it. Just send drones to the top floor to help us."

"Right!" Swordkill yelled before ending the call.

—————————————————————

Izuku falls, tired as they make it to the 180th floor.

"Deku!" Ochako was worried about the down Izuku.

"I'm okay..." Izuku groans. "I never hold Blackwhip for that long." He gasps in pain. "It feels like my arms are asleep."

"Bakugo carry Midoriya." Sir Nighteye demanded.

"Alright..." Katsuki didn't hesitate to help his comrade.

Sir Nighteye was stunned for a bit, surprised by the lack of resistance from Katsuki. He immediately runs up the stairs. "Hurry!" He leads the entire group of students up the stairs.

The whole group follows as Katsuki quickly holds Izuku by the arm and follows suit.

"Thanks." Izuku appreciates Katsuki's kindness.

"Shut up. I'm only doing this because I can't let my rival die on the ground." Katsuki hurries up the stairs to not fall behind the group.

As the heroes made it to the 198th floor, they were surprised and attacked by two villains.

"I got ya!" Swordkill yelled as he tried to pierce Sir Nighteye through the chest.

The Pro Hero saw this and dodged. He sweeps the villain's legs and smashes him to the wall using his hyper-density seals, creating a huge crater in the wall.

"Watch out!" Eijiro screamed.

Just then a second Swordkill jumped into the fight. He tried to swing at Nighteye but Eijiro hardened his body to protect the hero.

"You shouldn't have come here." Swordkill told the group.

"You have a second Quirk?!" Eijiro questions.

"Don't change the subject-" The Swordkill screams as he was encased in ice.

Shoto put his hand down as he was done making his ice prison. He slowly walked toward the villain until he was right up to his face. "Why are you villains doing here?" Shoto interrogated the villain. Lifting his hand to threaten the villain that he'll freeze him shut.

"What makes you think I'll tell you?!" Swordkill laughs and he busts through the ice, flying to his other side.

"The hell?!" Katsuki yelled.

Izuku groans. "It seems he has a secondary Quirk that allows him to split himself into two people. He reforming back to one person!"

Swordkill reform back in one. "Ha!" Swordkill created his blade. "I need back up!-" Swordkill tried to alert his buddies but Mirio swoop in and punch him out. Leaving the villains down.

"They're right there?!" Two villains wearing masks started to shoot at the group.

Shoto creates a wall of ice to protect them as Mirio phrase through it and took down both armed villains with a simple punch and kick.

Eijiro break through the ice wall. "Let's go!" He runs up the stairs.

—————————————————————

The heroes finally made it to the 200th. They quickly scouted around looking for the control room. The group jumped when they saw a bunch of security bots in their way.

"Are those robots?!" Eijiro questions.

"Yeah. They're security drones for the island. The villains must've gained access to them and used them to slow us down." Melissa correctly guesses.

"They saw us! What do we do?!" Minoru cries.

"I can just freeze them in place." Shoto touches the floor to freeze the bot from below. But he instinctively create an ice wall instead when a ball of air was coming straight towards.

"What was that?!" Mirio questions.

Just then, the ice wall shattered and reveals two more villains. A purple hulking one and a tall one with webbed hands.

"Stay on your guard." Sir Nighteye commanded.

Katsuki gasped as Izuku let go of him and stood up. "You're in better shape. Good." Katsuki smiles

"Let's see how tough you kids are!" The purple hulk yelled

"Denki!" Momo called for Denki's attention as she readies up to create a sheet that'll protect them from his electricity. She creates the sheet and had everyone hide under it.

"On it!" Denki started to spark with electricity. "2000000 volts!" Denki focuses all his energy on the villains and the robots. "Ha!" Denki had his brain fried due to his attack.

"Loon like he stopped those villains and robots." Mirio smiles but was proven part wrong as the robots were ok while the villains were up, but still hurting from the attack.

"You brat!" The webbed hand Villain tried to swipe at Denki but Katsuki leaps in and grabbed him out the way.

"You idiot!" Katsuki yelled at the brain-fried Denki.

"Right, then! Class 1-A goes on the offensive!" Sir Nighteye demanded.

"We'll deal with the villain! You three just go!" Mirio told Sir Nighteye, Izuku, and Melissa to get a move on.

"Right!" All three said. The three all run away but were blocked by the purple hulk monster.

"No, you don't!" The purple hulking villain tried to block the hero's way.

"One for All!... Full Cowling 50%!" Izuku uppercuts the villain in the chin leaving him stuck in the ceiling.

The three make a run for it as they pass the webbed-hand villain.

"Hey!" The webbed hand villains yelled. He tried after them but then Mirio shoots up and upper kick him. "Ah!" The villain spits out some blood.

"If you want them then you'll have to go through me!" Mirio gave a very serious look before breaking and then laughing. "Hahaha! It's funny because I can go through you but you can't-" Mirio dodges the villain's barrage of attacks. "Woah!"

"Die!" Katsuki yelled as he destroyed one robot after another.

"Bakugo! Didn't Sir Nighteye specifically request for you to not go on the offensive?" Tenya yelled at Katsuki as he kicked open several robots.

"He said not to fight villains! But he didn't say anything about robots!" Katsuki made a valid point.

Many of the other students were holding the robots off fairly decently. Minoru uses his sticky ball to trap the robot as Momo and Kyoka do something similar by using cannon, created by Momo, to also trap the robots as they watch over Denki. Katsuki, Tenya, and Eijiro were all destroying the robots. Ochako was also helping by using her Quirk to decrease the robots' weight lift and then increase their weight to make them crush into each other.

Mirio and Shoto were both fighting the webbed-hand villain.

"Woah!" Mirio dodges another of the villain's attacks. He gulps as he saw chunks of Shoto's ice wall he made during this fight was gone. "His Quirk allows him to erase anything." Mirio guesses.

Shoto was sliding with his ice with the webbed hand villain hot on his tail. He turns and tried to create an ice prison but the villain uses his Quirk to make a chunk of his ice attack into ice balls.

Mirio gasped and realize. "This guy isn't making stuff disappear, he's just displacing it."

"Then let's see if he can displace all of this." Shoto uses his Quirk to create a barrage of ice spikes to try and stab the villain.

"Is that the best you can do?!" The webbed-hand villain laughs as he gets up to Shoto's face.

"This is the best I can do." Shoto raises his arm and blasts the villain with fire.

The villain screams as he feels the chill air start to heat up and expand rapidly before exploding.

"Flashfreeze heatwave..." Shoto announced his super move.

"Amazing!" Mirio ran up and congratulated Shoto on his victory. "Oh!" He punch a robot that was trying to catch Shoto off guard. "Let's deal with these and make it to Sir and the others."

Shoto nods in agreement.

—————————————————————

Sir, Izuku, and Melissa continue to search for the control room.

"Melissa, where's the control room located?" Izuku asked her.

"In front of the central elevator." Melissa answered.

The group made it but only peak around the corner as they saw someone.

"Someone's in there." Izuku stated.

Melissa gasped at what she had just seen. She saw her father, who seem to be using a big, high-tech computer for whatever reason. "Papa!"

"Is it?" Sir Nighteye questions if that is David Shield.

"Why is he up on the top floor, though?" Melissa questions.

"Maybe the villains brought him here. They might need something from him." Izuku believes.

"We have to help him!" Melissa was worried for her father.

"We will." Sir Nighteye promises.

—————————————————————

David Shield was trying to access a passcode for a special device. He smiles as he finally cracks the passcode. "I've unlocked it. Block 1147."

"Wonderful." Samuel runs to where the device should be located. In a small metal box.

"It's opening." David told Sam.

The metal box opened and Samuel grabbed the suitcase with the device inside. "You did it, Professor!" He opens the case to reveal the device. The device looks to be some sort of contraption that is supposed to be placed on your head. "Look, everything is here. It's perfect."

"Finally. I've gotten it back." David cleats his fist and got angry. "All my research. And they just took my device away from me. But now it's mine."

"Just like we planned. And it looks like the villains are holding things down." Samuel believes without realizing what has happened already.

"Thank you. I couldn't have done any of this without your help, Sam." David run up to Samuel to trie and grabbed the suitcase but a voice stop him.

"Papa." Melissa's voice made both scientists stop what they were doing.

"Melissa? No." David turned to see his daughter with the group of heroes. He questions how they got here. "Miss, what are you doing here?"

"What does he mean that it's like you planned it?" Melissa slowly walks toward her father, asking questions. "Don't tell me that you're the one behind this. This was all you? Just to steal something?" She couldn't believe it. "No, it can't be true!"

David sighs. "Yes, it is."

"What?" Sir Nighteye was stunned. Why would All Might's best friend do something like this?

"Papa. How could you?" Melissa questions her father.

Samuel jumps in to defend David. "The professor is only trying to get back what was stolen. The invention inside this briefcase can amplify someone's Quirk."

Izuku gasped at the news. "Wait, is the even possible?"

"Why would you need that?" Sir Nighteye's question.

Samuel explains at the Quirk Amplifier device can increase the power of a Quirk without any backlash, unlike some Quirk enchanting drugs. How I-island sponsors confiscated the device and told them to abandon the device. They were worried about what this device could do if given to the wrong hand. He reveals they hired fake villains to create a distraction, so they could take the device without anyone noticing.

"I don't understand. There's something I'm missing, right? You'll never do this." Melissa struggles to wrap her mind around this.

"I'm so sorry." David apologize.

"That doesn't fix anything!" Sir Nighteye yelled.

"This doesn't make any sense. The Papa I know and love wouldn't act like a villain, no matter what. So why, then? Why?" Melissa begs her father to answer why.

David looks away in shame. "I had to for All Might."

All three gasp. But only Nighteye and Izuku look at each other as they know what David is talking about.

"You three probably aren't aware of this. But his Quirk is disappearing." David told them.

Both Nighteye and Izuku shrunk. They didn't want Melissa to know something like this, and they didn't know that David knew about this.

"However, if he uses this device, he'll be his old self." David retracted his previous statement. "No. His abilities will be even stronger than they were! The number one hero... The Symbol of Peace... can get his strength and fight back again." David smiles. "He can keep saving people. Just like he always has."

"The professor's upset because his friend's power fading. This is happening because All Might passed One for All onto me. He doesn't know." Izuku turns and gulps when he saw Sir Nighteye grinding his teeth together and his veins popping out as his eyebrow and downward.

David runs up to Samuel to grab the suitcase. "Please. Please just let me hand this device over to All Might. There's no time to remake it. When he's better, I don't care what kind of punishment I receive."

Sir Nighteye grunts. "I understand how you feel! But to team up with villains! To put her daughter and other kids in harm's way isn't the way to go about it!"

David gave a confused look like he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Everyone risked their lives. Everyone went through so much. Do you know how dangerous this was? How hard we were trying to save everyone on the island?" Melissa lectured her father on his negligence.

David still didn't know what they were talking about. "No, what do you mean? The villains are fake." He turns to his assistant Samuel. "It's all supposed to be an act!"

"Of course, it was a performance." Wolfram appears out of the shadows. With one of his henchmen by his side. "But the real act was pretending we weren't criminals."

"You're the boss!" Izuku activates One for All. He and Sir Nighteye stood by each other side ready to fight.

Wolfram smiles. Uses his metal manipulation to manipulate the metal rails to trap both Izuku and Sir Nighteye, however, only Izuku was fast enough to dodge it.

"His Quirk lets him manipulate metal." Izuku positions his hand for a flicking motion. "Delaware Smash Air Force 100%!" Izuku unleashes a devastating attack.

Wolfram scoffs and creates a metal wall that took up half the room to block the attack. Even so, Izuku's attack creates nothing but destruction. The whole room was full of nothing but debris and dust.

"Melissa..." Sir Nighteye groans as he is still trapped by his metal restraints.

Melissa look at Sir Nighteye.

"We got your father and Sam. You have to save everyone else." Sir Nighteye told her to find the control room and take back the security system.

Melissa wipes her tears from earlier and immediately gets on it. She leaves the room to find the control room.

Izuku stares at the smoke and the debris, waiting for the villains to make their next move.

"Don't even try." The smoke is clear. Izuku gasped at what he saw. Wolfram pointed his pistol at David's head. Wolfram looks down on David. "You'd be smart not to resist. Sam. Hand it over."

Without heisting, Sam snatch the suitcase from the floor that was laying there because David dropped it. "Right. Uh. Here you go!"

"Sam? This was your plan? You were going to hand it over all along?" David quickly shut up when Wolfram remind him of the gun he was holding.

Samuel stopped. "You're the one who tricked me, professor. I've been your assistant for all these years, and you let them take out work. We could have had fame and fortune. But, no." Samuel started to tear up. "I deserve more. I need to be rewarded. Otherwise, my entire career was a complete waste of time!"

Wolfram grabbed the suitcase and examines it. He turns to Samuel. "Here's the payment I promised you." He shoots Sam in the arm.

Both Izuku and Sir Nighteye gasp.

"No. Why? This isn't part of the plan." Samuel tried to cover the bullet wound.

"Is it not? That's strange. Because it was always a part of mine." Wolfram stopped what he was doing and gasp. He heard a loud beep throughout the room. He look around for Melissa and notices she was missing. He scoffs. "She got control of the system." Wolfram knew Melissa had gotten the security system.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, the students were still fighting the never-ending wave of robots until they suddenly stop.

"What happened?" Katsuki questions.

"They just stopped." Ochako pointed out the obvious.

Tenya smiles. "They must've made it to the control room!"

"I-island's security system is now operating in normal mode." The robots announced.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile, the heroes were freed and took down the remaining villains at the party.

—————————————————————

"Damn it. Now what?" Wolfram's henchman questions.

"We get out of here." Wolfram turns to hear yelling.

"Smash!" Izuku unleashes a devastating smash. But the villain creates a metal wall to block it.

Wolfram looks down on David, both literally and figuratively. "No matter what your reasons were, you've dirtied your hands now. Whether we're real villains or actors is irrelevant. You planned and committed an actual crime here. You're the same as we are. You can no longer remain a respected scientist. Or continue your research without shame. Your life is forever tainted by the darkness of villainy." Wolfram laughs.

All this taunting causes David to tear up, as he knows it's the truth.

Wolfram grabs David by the collar. "And if you want a future at all, you'll be a good scientist and mass produce this device so I can sell it." Before Wolfram can knock David out, Izuku broke through the metal wall.

Wolfram scoffs and creates metal pillars to push back the boy. But before the attacks could land, Izuku was pushed out of the way by someone.

It was Katsuki. "You own me so much, bastard." He said before being crushed by the metal pillars.

"We are here!" Mirio pops outta the ground and springs towards the villain, dodging any attack he sends his way.

Eijiro and Tenya went to immediately aid Sir Nighteye by destroying his metal restraints.

"Where is everyone else." Sir Nighteye asked, worriedly.

"Jiro is watching over Kaminari, Mineta, and Yaoyorozu as they rest." Tenya answered. Fighting all those robots push their Quirks to their limit.

As this was happening, Shoto froze the metal pillars, so Ochako can come in using one of the destroyed robot's bodies to increase its weight and shatter them all.

"There!" Ochako shatters the metal pillars and pulls Katsuki out of the crater.

"Damn..." Katsuki groans.

"Here." Sir Nighteye held Katsuki by the shoulder. He was proud of Katsuki's action. "You did well."

"What?" Katsuki was confused. Was this some sort of trick?

—————————————————————

Meanwhile in the control room. Melissa phones All Might.

"Melissa, what's happening?" All Might frantically ask as he scales his way up the building.

"Oh, thank goodness! Deku and the others are fighting the villains on the 200th floor." Melissa explains what is transpiring.

"Don't worry. I'm almost there!" All Might said as Melissa gave him more details on what going on.

—————————————————————

Meanwhile back to the fight.

"Get out of my way!" Wolfram tried to throw everything metal at Mirio. But the boy just phrases through each of them. "Why bother trying to save a man who causes all of this?" He mocks the heroes

"Because! No matter who it is, we heroes always save everyone with our power!" Mirio unleashes a high-density roundhouse kick to Wolfram's face, making him drop the gun. Mirio slides around Wolfram and grabs both David and Samuel out of harm's way. "Midoriya now!" He yelled.

"Shoot Style!" Izuku leaps forward and delivered a double front kick to put Wolfram out of commission.

The room goes quiet. Everyone goes quiet.

Wolfram's henchman tries a sneak attack from behind Mirio but Mirio just backhands him to knock him out. "We're done here." Mirio said.

"Papa!" Melissa's screaming startled everyone.

Melissa slides towards her father.

"I'm sorry." David cries. "It's my fault..."

"Our fault..." Samuel also took responsibility for his actions after his little stunt.

"It's ok." Melissa smiles, even though she knew everything was not.

A small metal dome was created, separating the scientists from the heroes. It was lifted to the sky as other metal items such as wires and pipes were also lifted to the sky. The wires and pipes slowly started to form a chair and the person who was standing on it was Wolfram using the Quirk Amplifier. "Did you think it'll be that easy?" Wolfram laughs as he tears down the metal roof and crushes it up to be one giant metal ball to throw at the heroes.

"He's using the professor's device!" Sir Nighteye yelled which confuse the other students about what device he was talking about.

"Come back. You can't! Let them go! Don't take the professors! Damn it!" Izuku yelled in distress.

"Don't you dare lose that smile." All Might threw several punches to destroy the metal ball. "It's fine now. Do you know why?" He points to himself as he floats through the sky. "Because I am here."

"All Might is here." Sir Nighteye smiles.

"I'll have you return my friend to me." All Might blitz up the room while dodging each one of Wolfram's metal pillars.

Wolfram levels up by tearing the metal sheets and bolts and infrastructure from the tower to add to his multiple metal pillars that would crush All Might, but the Symbol of Peace simply crushes those pillars with one punch and flew toward Wolfram. Wolfram tried to stop him with more metal pillars but each of them was destroyed with one punch.

All Might form his arms to make an X formation. "Carolina... Smash!" All Might destroy every single metal peace in his way. Everyone was pushed by its wind pressure. "Prepare yourself, villain!" All Might was interrupted by millions of metal wires warping around him, stopping him from unleashing his final attack. "Nice trick, but..." He was grabbed by the neck by Wolfram.

Wolfram's body started to bulk up and turn red. "I heard Sam. Your Quirk is failing you. You no longer have the same unstoppable power you once had."

"Where did this strength come from? All Might cough up blood as his throat was crushed.

Wolfram grabbed All Might by his injury and sneeze it. Making All Might scream.

"All Might!" Izuku screamed.

"Katsuki..." Sir Nighteye looks at Katsuki. "I give you permission to let loose." He pats the boy on the head.

Katsuki gave out a devious smile. "Round face hit me!"

"Ok!" Ochako slaps Katsuki in the face allowing him to float.

Katsuki pulled Shoto aside. "Here's the plan!" He whispers it to his ear and Shoto nods.

"This new power seems to enhance his muscles. He must have multiple Quirks." Then it hits All Might. "No, wait, it couldn't be." He was in disbelief.

"Oh, yes. While we were planning this little plot, I received an intriguing phone call from the man himself." Wolfram confirms All Might's suspicion. "He said he wanted to work with me. To help. When I asked him why he'd bother, he was happy to explain his interest. 'If All Might's friend wants to have a hand in something evil. I will assist in his fall from grace in any way that I can. I regret only that I will not be able to see All Might's face twist in pain when he discovers the truth about the professor.'" Wolfram quotes All for One.

"All for One is behind this?" All Might was stunned to finally know his greatest enemy is still alive.

"What's the matter? Look like you've stopped smiling- uh?" Wolfram notices started to feel and hear ice being formed.

Shoto started to freeze Wolfram's metals.

Katsuki blasted up and shot multiple concentrated explosions. "AP Shot: Auto-Cannon!" He shot at Wolfram so much that he had to create more metal walls to protect himself from the blast. "How can you let yourself get beat by such a lame final boss? Hurry and take him down!"

Shoto started to freeze almost the entire metal madness that Wolfram had created, he even froze All Might's metal wires restraints.

All Might twist and turn to shatter his restraints. He land on the floor and was immediately jumped by more restraints, but he avoid them all with ease. "Thanks for the help, Young Bakugo, and Todoroki!"

"We'll do what we can. We'll help you! We'll go plus ultra." Shoto started to form more ice than his body could handle.

"Iida, let's knock those hunks of metal out of the sky." Eijiro hardened his body.

"Sir Nighteye, take of things down here." Tenya asked of him.

"Where's Izuku?" Ochako questions.

"Damn you all!" Wolfram said as he control several metal cubes and form them into one single giant metal cube to crush All Might. "Farewell, Symbol of Peace!"

All Might watch the giant cube coming straight at him, but he notices his blood spilling out of his mouth. "Darn..."

"All Might, no!" Sir Nighteye yelled.

Izuku leaps over All Might. "Detroit..." He pulls his fist back. "...Smash!" With one punch he destroys the metal cube. His attack push him back and he was almost crushed by the debris but All Might saved him.

"That damn brat..." Wolfram commented.

Katsuki smiles as he feels the chilly air. "It's time! Icey Hot!" He yelled.

"Right!" Similar to the Sports Festival, Shoto created one big ice glacier to stop Wolfram. "Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall!" He yelled. However, the villains created even more metal walls to block the attack. "It's now up to you Bakugo..." Shoto passes out due to his decreasing temperature.

"Todoroki!" Ochako held the decommission Shoto.

Both One for All users lands on the ground safely.

"Young Midoriya! Your body can't handle this. It's too reckless." All Might warns Izuku to be careful.

"Yeah, but..." Izuku's bloody face smiles at All Might. "It's a hero's job to save those in need, no matter what, right?"

All Might was stunned for a second before laughing with glee. "You make a good point. And it looks like I'm in quite a bind without you." He gave Izuku his hand. "Will you lend me your aid once more? Young Midoriya?"

Izuku grabbed it. "Yes, sir!" Both One for All users stood up and look at Wolfram before dashing toward him.

"Let's go!" All Might yelled as he ran.

"Yes, sir!" Izuku follows suit.

"There's no way you can stop me. You're insignificant pests." Wolfram insulted.

"Just shut up and croak already." Katsuki flies up the ice glacier straight towards Wolfram. "Time to take a page outta your shitty book, Icy Hot." Katsuki twist and turn to use Howitzer Impact to collect the chill air and oxygen, but just like Flashfreeze Heatwave, he rapidly heat the air around him making it expand giving his attack even more fuel.

Wolfram yells at Katsuki. "You don't know when to lie down and be crushed." He forms and tosses more metal cubes and pillars to crush Katsuki and the two One for Al users.

But the extra mobility thanks to Ochako's Quirk allows Katsuki to dodge each of them. "You're the one who doesn't know he's beat!"

Izuku and All Might crush each cube and pillar to make sure it doesn't hit anyone from below.

Melissa starts to tear up as she sees the similarities between All Might's and Izuku's heroics.

"This is over!" Wolfram started to tear down the walls and most of the top buildings to create one gigantic metal cube that eclipse the entire tower.

"What's happening?" Ochako asked Sir Nighteye as she still hold Shoto in her arms.

"Ultimate Move: Heatwave Final Explosion!" Katsuki performs an ultimate move that sparks up every single one of sweat from his entire body to deliver one big explosion. The fuel from the collected oxygen and chilly air makes the explosion so big that it severely weakened Wolfram's ultimate attack and destroys any nearby metal material that would've been added to his attack. After the explosion, Katsuki blacked out and was falling to the ground.

"Gotcha!" Mirio yelled as he holds onto Katsuki. Mirio falls past Izuku and All Might as they run up to Wolfram.

"Kacchan..." Izuku saw Katsuki's body which gave him more motivation to end the fight.

"Young Bakugo..." All Might smile at Katsuki's deed.

"You're not half bad... still need a lot of work though." Sir Nighteye looks up to Katsuki both literally and figuratively.

Mirio increases his density to crash to the ground faster and use his body to break Katsuki's fall.

Both One for All ran up to Wolfram and jumped to his level.

"To overcome the crisis in front of you." All Might pull back his fist.

Izuku also pulls back his fist that had a full gauntlet, but he uses Blackwhip to wrap around the support item and reinforce its purpose. "By giving everything you've got."

"And save people." All Might floated beside Izuku.

"No matter the cost." Izuku smiles with All Might.

"That's what makes someone..." All Might's heart was bumping.

"... a hero!" Izuku's body was bumping with adrenaline.

"I'll bring down this entire tower!" Wolfram threw his weakened metal cube.

"Double Detroit..." Izuku's and All Might's were right by each other. "...Smash!" They went through the cube and straight towards Wolfram at godly speed.

"Deku!" Ochako cheered him on from the ground.

"Stop him, All Might!" Sir Nighteye cheered All Might on.

"Go, Midoriya!" Mirio cheered him on.

"Destroy this guy..." Katsuki and Shoto groan through their pain.

Wolfram tried to protect himself from their punch but they broke through his defense. Wolfram screamed as he was defeated. The wind pressure damaged the top of the tower even more. Metal went flying everywhere, even the metal drone was destroyed which frees David and Samuel. David looked up and saw a Young All Might before his vision started to clear and he saw Izuku instead.

The metals started to drop from the sky, it was over.

Shoto with the last of his strength create an ice dome to protect everyone from the falling metal. After a while, Eijiro broke through to see the aftermath of the battle.

"They did it. They stopped him. They beat up that villain!" Eijiro told the others.

Melissa went out to search for All Might, Izuku, and her father. She climb on top of a pile of metal and saw a defeated Wolfram in the distance. The Quirk Amplifier device fell as it broke off his head. She ignored that and continue to search for All Might, Izuku, and her father.

Izuku crawls out of some debris.

"Deku!" Melissa ran towards Izuku.

Izuku turn and saw Melissa. "Melissa!"

"I'm so glad you're alive!" Melissa said.

"Sam. Sam!" David checks the unconscious Samuel's pulse.

Samuel groaned in pain. He opens his eyes to see David.

David sighed in relief. "You're still alive."

Samuel's face turns from happiness to horror when he sees All Might behind David.

All Might slowly walk towards David. "Dave."

David turns with disappointment in his eyes, disappointment in himself. "All Might..."

"I cane to save you, my friend." All Might kneel to be at David's level.

"Thank you." David appreciates that. But didn't think it was necessary after everything he has done.

"Papa!" Melissa's voice echoes through the distance.

"All Might!" Izuku's voice also echoes through the distance.

Both predecessors look in the distance at their successors standing on a metal pile waving at them.

"If you want to thank someone, you should thank Melissa and Young Midoriya." All Might told David.

"He's okay. I can't believe it." Melissa cries but quickly wipes her tears away and looks at Izuku. "I'm so grateful. And it's thanks to you guys. You're how we saved the island."

"We did it together. After all, the only way I made it this far was because I had your Full Gauntlet on my arm." Izuku smiles at Melissa showing her her creation. "Thanks so much for your help."

Melissa smiles back. "We're a good team."

"So..." Izuku scratches his head. "Can you take it off?" He asked her.

"Sure." Melissa press all four of her fingers in a straight line to revert the full gauntlet into a wristband and fall off Izuku's arm.

"It was that easy?!" Izuku was wide-eyed.

Melissa laughs. "Maybe when I improve the Full Gauntlet, I'll make it easier to take off."

"Deku! Melissa!" The rest of the students cheered them both on.

"Midoriya, are you okay?" Tenya asked.

Izuku waved at them and answer. "We're fine up here! All Might and the professors are okay, too."

"But what about the rest of you guys?" Melissa asked the group.

"Todoroki and Bakugo are down because they pushed their Quirks to their limit." Mirio answered.

Katsuki groans but then gasps when Sir Nighteye sat next to him.

"I think you'll be ok, but still have a lot of issues to work on." Sir Nighteye told Katsuki.

"You're not the first person to say something like that." Katsuki groans.

"But with the month ahead of us, we'll work on it and improve your power for you to become a worthy rival to a worthy successor." Sir Nighteye smile at Katsuki.

"Thanks..." Katsuki was happy, but he didn't want to show it.

"I've heard most of what happened from Melissa." All Might told them as he uses his pieces of clothing to bandage up Samuel's arm.

"It's all true. I was so scared you'd lose your light. Scared that the peace you built as a hero would fade away with you. But my ideas and that device were nothing more than ways to maintain the status quo. To ensure that nothing would ever change." David stood up, reflecting on what he has done.

Samuel looks down on himself. David had a good reason to steal the device, but he on the other hand only care about the money. How foolish he felt.

"Even though the future was standing right there in front of me the whole time." Both men look at their kids waving and smiling at their friends. "I just didn't notice it. Look at those two. She wants to become my successor, you know that? And you have Izuku Midoriya. He'll take your place one day, too, won't he?" He guesses there was some sort of connection between the two One for All users.

"He still has a long road ahead. But, in him shines the greatest potential I've ever seen among those who would become heroes." All Might told David the greatness in Izuku.

David no longer had his fear anymore. "I can see it, too. All Might. Hope. A light like yours. That boy has the heart of a hero."

Izuku turns around and notices the sunrise. He smiles at it, ready to face another day.
