Ten years had passed since Izuku made his new friends. Despite his Quirklessness, Izuku continued to strive to be a Hero and trained with the others every day. As they grew older, the friend circle slowly began growing.

Izuku was jogging through the woods, this was part of his daily training regimen. Usually, he would be training with his friends but they were doing other things today. He was so lost in his thoughts that he wound up running into someone else.

"OOF!"

After quickly recovering, Izuku moved to help the person he knocked over. It was a hazelnut brown-haired and blue-eyed girl. From the looks of things, she had been doing some farming.

"Sorry about that!" Izuku nervously said as he extended his hand toward the girl.

"No worries!" The girl replied while smiling as she took Izuku's hand. "My name is Katarina Claes."

"Nice to meet you, Katarina-Chan! I'm Izuku Midoriya." Izuku replied.

The two struck up a conversation and found that they have many things in common such as being All-Might fans as well as wanting to help people who needed it.

Eventually, they parted ways but exchanged phone numbers and from that day on Izuku and Katarina became friends. Katarina would also befriend Izuku's friend group and was quickly accepted as one of the "boys."


Izuku frowned as he sat in the cafeteria with an annoyed look on his face. Katsuki and his cronies were on kitchen duty again and they had served him a rather shoddy lunch just to spite him consisting of a plate of rice with all the burnt parts of it, which was to say it was still edible but rather disgusting to eat hardened rice compared to everything else, the most pathetic-looking fish, and a miso soup with barely any tofu or nori.

"This is immature even for him."

However, today he was joined at his table by three girls.

"What trash did they give you to eat?" The first of the trio of girls asked. She was a tomboyish girl with brown-blonde hair in a boyish cut and milk chocolate-colored eyes.

"It's okay, I'm used to it..." Izuku sighed.

"Looks like those boys at lunch duty are being mean." The second girl said. She had fair skin, black hair, and dark gray eyes.

"Don't worry I'll share some of my food with you!" The third girl said. She was quite plump and had pink hair and beautiful dark blue eyes that looked like galaxies with stars in them.

"Thanks," Izuku replied with a small blush on his cheeks.

The other two girls looked at each other and followed the third girl's example. Soon they were all eating together and chatting.

"So what are your names?" Izuku asked.

"I am Bella D. Hyna." The first girl said.

"My name is Kade Honjou, nice to meet you Izuku!" The second girl said with an absolutely adorable smile. "Just call me Maple if you want."

"And I'm Kirby Sakurai!" The third girl said cheerfully.

"What's your name Greenie?" Bella asked

"I-Izuku Midoriya..."

Later that day Izuku introduced the girls to his group and they all got along well. The trio of girls soon joined the crew and Katarina was quite glad to have more girls in the group.


One day during the weekend Izuku was alone as he was taking a stroll through a park. He was sightseeing when he spotted a black-haired and brown-eyed boy his age. The boy's right arm was in the form of a blue cannon as he fired shots into the trees. Curious, Izuku walked up to the boy, almost scaring him.

"Whoa there!" The boy gasped.

"Oops! Sorry for spooking you but is that your Quirk?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah, it is though I get a lot of flak for it because of the strict gun laws." The boy replied.

"I see, what can it do?"

"My Quirk is [Buster Arms] and it allows me to transform either of my arms into an arm cannon." The boy explained. "Usually I just fire compressed shots of air but I recently found out that my Quirk has a hidden aspect to it. That is, I can copy the Quirks of others and use them as ammunition for my Quirk."

"Amazing! Your Quirk shares similarities with a friend of mine's Quirk!"

The boy was surprised. "Wait, you think my Quirk is cool? No one has ever said nice things about my Quirk except my family."

"Well yeah! Your Quirk is super versatile! There are all kinds of things you can do!" Izuku said excitedly. "I mean, if someone has a Water Quirk, you can turn your cannons into water guns and if someone has a Fire Quirk, you can have flamethrowers!"

"Wow, that actually does sound pretty cool." The boy said.

"It's a hobby of mine, to be honest." Izuku said bashfully.

The boy just smiled. "My name's Aki Light, what's yours?

"Izuku Midoriya."

"Wanna be friends?"

"Definitely!"

And so Aki joined Izuku's friendship circle and with the help of his new friends he was able to become more appreciative of his Quirk. He even did tests to compare [Buster Arms] to Maple's Quirk [Magic Shield] and found out that they make a good combo.

Benio had tried to use his own Quirk, [Artificer], to copy Maple and Aki's Quirks but due to their omnifarious nature, he was unable to do so. He didn't let it bother him since he could just copy Quirks himself with his power.


Currently, the Ten Elites, as Benio had taken to calling them, were heading to school. They were all 14 years old and currently in their last year of Junior High. However, on the way, they stopped to see a giant Villain rampaging through the city. Already, Heroes were on the scene.

The first one to arrive was Death Arms, who possessed the Quirk [Mighty Arms], which granted him superhuman strength focused through his arms, which let him catch a falling radio tower the Giant Villain had knocked over. Helping to keep civilians out of the line of fire was Backdraft, a Rescue Hero whose Quirk, [Water Pump], could create an endless supply of water from the spigots growing from his hands, and manipulate that water at will.

Some of the people noted that the giant villain was just an amateur purse thief who got cornered, and it wasn't long before they found out by whom.

Two Heroes leaped down, one looking something like a classic Japanese delinquent, with a black pompadour, sharp eyes, and a metal bat in his hand, and the other looking like he was wearing wood for armor.

The former was Metal Bat, and he had no Quirk, but he was able to use the ancient form of spiritual energy that all living beings could harness called Haki, which came in handy for him just as much as a Quirk could do. The latter was Kamui Woods, with his Quirk [Arbor], a simple Quirk that let him generate and control wood. Both of them were young up-and-coming rookie sensations in the community and Metal Bat had even been enlisted in the elite Hero Team known as the S-Rankers.

The duo leaped at the Giant Villain, who spouted the usual threats and swatted at them.

"How thick do you think his skin is at this size?" Metal Bat asked.

"Thick enough that anti-tank rifles would be hard-pressed to pierce it," Kamui Woods suggested. "But he'd still feel the pain."

"All I need to know!" Metal Bat said as he jumped toward the Giant Villain and, with great speed, struck him over and over again with his eponymous metal bat.

The giant barely managed to put up a guard as he winced from the bat impacting against his skin, forcing him back.

"Nice work, Bat! Just keep him busy a little longer!" Kamui Woods said as he ran along the train tracks before finding the right position. "You're charged with assault, robbery, and illegal use of superpowers! LACQUERED CHAIN PRISON!"

Kamui Woods extended wooden branch-like tentacles from his fingers that wrapped around the Villain's limbs, restraining him as Metal Bat joined his partner before noticing a third party coming in.

"Looks like we're not the only ones coming! Heads up!"

"CANYON CANNON!"

Kamui Woods noticed and sighed, seeing a large young woman in a skin-tight leotard, a few feet taller than the giant villain, leaping in Kamen Rider style. She immediately dropkicked the Villain, knocking him off the bridge. Cameramen suddenly appeared in droves, trying to get a picture as the attractive woman was bent over while tying up the villain.

"Piece of cake for the world's hottest new superhero. Hello there, everyone. I'm Mount Lady, and my Quirk is [Gigantification]." She gave a flirty wink to her onlookers. "Don't worry, you won't have to deal with this bum anymore~."

As Mount Lady began to shrink to normal size, Izuku's friends noticed him muttering to himself about her appearance while writing in his notebook.

"Again, Izu?" Tony sighed, shaking his head.

But they could see why Midoriya would be taking notes. After all, Mount Lady's entrance had caused a giant dent in the pavement, showing that her power did have its drawbacks.


"Alright students, you guys are all third-year students! It's time to seriously think about your future!" The homeroom teacher of Aldera Junior High said to the class as he dropped the career forms on his table and slapped the top of the stack to emphasize his point as he continued. "I would start handing out these career forms, but..."

With a flourish, he tossed the papers into the air, his serious face morphing into a jolly smile.

"...I assume you all want to become Heroes!"

Everyone except eleven students replied excitedly with a shout and showed off their quirks, some subtle and some not so subtle.

"Yes, yes, you all have truly exciting Quirks, but you must understand the two most important attributes that Heroes must have!" The teacher chided gently. "Now, who here would like to tell us what those two attributes are?"

"A willingness to do what is right!" Izuku answered first.

"The ability to use your power in a way that can help people!" Bella answered the second.

"Right on both counts!" The teacher said proudly.

"Oy, teach! Don't lump me in with these losers!" Barked one Katsuki Bakugou, his feet propped up on his desk. "As if any of them are within my league with their shitty-ass Quirks."

"HEY, BAKUGOU! WE HAVE POTENTIAL TOO, YOU JERK!" Most of the class shouted angrily.

"Could they scream any louder?" Benio grumbled as he was trying to not-so-discreetly focus on the game he was playing on his Nintendo Switch.

"Ah, yes, Bakugo, if I remember correctly, you're applying for UA High, right?" The teacher said as he glanced down at his clipboard.

This caused the class to do a complete 180, muttering in shock and awe.

"Eh? UA High?"

"I heard the cutoff score for this year was 79%, their acceptance rates are very low! The cutoff score is always getting higher and higher!"

"Not only is it the top national school in Japan, but I heard their entrance examination is so harsh that a lot of applicants were injured!"

"That's why all you chatterboxes are all extras!" Katsuki grinned as he leaped onto his desk from his chair in one fluid motion, "I aced the mock exam with the highest score in this school, I'm the only one who's got what it takes to get into UA! I'll surpass All-Might as the #1 Pro Hero, and become the best one in history!"

"Oh, now that I think about it, there are others applying at UA." The teacher pointed out as he went through the list. "Midoriya, Crochi, Panelle, Ghidorah, Ryu, Hyna, Hojo, Claes, Light, and Sakurai."

Katsuki completely froze at that statement as the rest of the students stared in awe at the Squad.

"DEKU!"

Izuku reacted by moving his notebook from safety as his desk exploded, though he calmly sat there without moving an inch, not even batting an eye.

"You damn piece of shit!" Katsuki cussed. "Thinking you and your shitty friends are in the same league as me?!"

"Well, to be honest, we're kinda leagues ABOVE you." Ghidorah pointed out with a grin.

"It's our decision to apply there, Bakugou. You have no control over us." Tony said with his arms folded.

"It's not nice to judge Izuku because he's Quirkless..." Maple said with a pout that just made anyone who saw it want to pinch her cheeks. "Why do you always have to be so mean, Bakugou?"

"Yeah, when are you gonna get your head out of your own anus?" Benio mocked, putting away his Switch as he did so.

"FUCK ALL OF YOU!" Katsuki snapped as he stomped off out of class to blow off some steam, preferably on his locker, which had seen better days.

"You think he's pissed because what we're saying about him is maybe sorta true?" Bella rhetorically asked with a cheeky grin as the teacher sighed, glad that this was their last year here and that this insanity would finally come to an end.


"Thief! Somebody stop him!"

Meanwhile, a Sludge Villain was running from a store, cash stuffed into his body. As he was making his getaway, a stick of a man came out of a convenience store and spotted the fiend.

"There seems to be no end to them, is there?" A nearby civilian sighed.

The skinny man suddenly began to transform, growing taller and muscular until the clothes he was wearing suddenly fit him quite snugly, showing all his muscles in their glory.

"YES, THERE IS!" The now enlarged man said as the civilians turned and gasped in delight. "BECAUSE I AM HERE!"

The Sludge Villain turned around and his eyes widened in horror as he gazed at every criminal in Japan's worst nightmare.

"OH SHIT!"


"So, what do you fellas wanna do today?" Bella asked with her hands behind her back, skipping ahead of her friends.

"I dunno, what do YOU wanna do today?" Benio smirked teasingly.

"I dunno, what do YOU wanna do today?" Kirby giggled.

Izuku was tuning out the eccentrics of his friends to write in his thirteenth Heroics Analysis notebook, putting the finishing touches on his notes for Mount Lady.

Izuku was grateful for his friends. They not only defended him against bullies but helped him grow as a person. He was much more confident and assertive as a result of their influence. He also enjoyed documenting his friends' Quirks as they developed.

He could hardly believe how much stronger his original four friends, Ben, Ryu, Ghidorah, and Tony became compared to when they first met all those years ago. Not to mention that Ryu who was already the biggest of them got taller as they grew older. He was head and shoulders above even All Might now.

"I would never trade my friends for anything in the world!" Izuku thought as he watched his friends banter with each other,

Izuku snapped out of his thoughts when he and his friends all heard a gurgling sound when they entered an alleyway. It was the Sludge Villain!

"Eleven perfectly-sized skinsuits! I'll take the scaley one!"

The Villain tried to force his way down Tony's throat since he was closest but was shocked when something started forcing him out.

"Hey, what gives!? Why can't I enter your body!?"

"Tony-Kun's body is reacting and adapting to you trying to body-jack him!" Izuku pointed out. "It's all part of his Quirk, [Reactive Adaptation]!"

Sure enough, Tony's esophagus and windpipe were contracting and pushing, keeping the foreign body out of his lungs and stomach. Already his instincts were letting his Quirk react to the invader.

"Get off our pal!" Benio shouted as he placed his hands on some of the Sludge Villain's stray mass and ice began spreading across him, slowing him down and allowing Tony to pull him fully out.

The Quirk Ben was using was a simple touch-based Temperature Manipulation Quirk but like every Quirk he had copied and storied into his arsenal, he had trained it to be much more formidable just like how Ghidorah was mastering the omnifarious powers of his Quirk [Devil Lord] and Ryu mastering the spells of the many forms of magic that his Quirk [One Magic] gave him.

As the Sludge Villain began thawing himself out, he heard the sound of a nearby manhole cover flying off.

"HAVE NO FEAR, CHILDREN!" came a deep, booming voice, equal parts friendly and angry. "YOU ARE SAFE, FOR I AM HERE!"

The Squad all stopped to look in shock and awe. Even without his costume, they could recognize the blonde muscleman before them; The Symbol of Peace and Japan's #1 Hero...ALL-MIGHT!

"HOLY MOLY, IT'S ALL MIGHT!" Bella cried, stars in her eyes.

"Shit!" The Sludge Villain shouted, swinging a larger tentacle with the shape of a hand at the end to attack the Hero. All-Might easily ducked under the attack and cocked his right arm back.

"TEXAS SMASH!"

All-Might threw a right straight so powerful from a distance that the wind pressure exerted from the punch sent the Sludge Villain flying, disintegrating into small manageable pieces.

Tony wedged his feet into the ground and grabbed onto Bella, Maple, and Izuku while Ghidorah and Ryu simply stood still, the winds not affecting either of them but blowing their hair around. As for Ben, he turned himself into stone with a Stone Body Quirk to keep himself anchored, Kirby and Katarina hugging onto him while Aki nearly flew off but held onto his shoulders.

Thankfully, All-Might had calculated the strength of his attack so none of the Squad would be affected as much. The friends soon watched as the Symbol of Peace took out some empty soda bottles and stuffed the main body of the Sludge Villain into them.

"Terribly sorry about all that, young ones. Are you alright?" All-Might asked as he finished pocketing the bottle away.

Izuku was the first to snap out of his trance and began geeking out something fierce.

"No way! Did I just see one of All-Might's signature smashes!? That was a rush!"

"Eh, it was a nice breeze but I think he could have shown off something bigger." Ghidorah chuckled, fixing up his hair.

"Oh my gosh, it's really All-Might! In the flesh!" Bella gasped. "We are huge fans of yours!"

"You and Izuku are, the rest of us have our own Heroes." Ben pointed out with his arms folded. "Still, it's so awesome to see you, sir."

"CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH!" Izuku cried out super-fast as he held out his notebook.

"Didn't even hesitate..." Tony sighed, shaking his head.

"I don't see why not! Anything for a fan!" All-Might chuckled as he wrote down his autograph, Izuku beaming brightly as he bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you so much for this!"

All-Might gave a thumbs-up in response. "Well, I should get this evil-doer over to the proper authorities. You stay out of trouble now."

With that, All-Might leaped off in a single bound, the gang watching him go off into the distance with his trademark boisterous laugh.

"Man, he's just...so cool!" Bella gushed. "Darn it, I wish I got his autograph too!"

"There's always next time, Bell," Ben said, patting her on the back. "Now, let's go hit the Arcade and get our minds off this experience."

"Uh, guys, where's Izu?" Ghidorah asked worriedly as the group noticed that the fifth member of their party wasn't with them. It was then that they came to one conclusion.

"THAT FUCKING DUMBASS!"

Except for Kirby and Maple, they were both too much of a cinnamon roll. Instead, they and Katarina went like this:

"IZUKU, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


"Whoa, kiddo! If you wanted a day to hang out, you could just ask! I'm not too busy!" All-Might said, surprised to see Izuku clinging to his leg.

"I'M SO SORRY! THERE'S JUST SOMETHING IMPORTANT I NEED TO ASK YOU!"

All-Might could sense the boy was serious and decided to land on a nearby rooftop. Once he did, he shocked Izuku by shrinking back into the skeletal man he had been before.

"Sorry about that," He said, his voice now a much more normal tone. "So what did you want to ask me?"

All the shocked and flabbergasted Izuku could say in response was this:

"WHAT? HOW? WHY?! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!"


Devil Dragon Stand Knight A/N:

Sorry, I made some mistakes in the first drafts of this chapter but I managed to fix them. Nothing much except we have Katarina Claes from My Life As A Villainess: All Routes Lead To Doom, Maple from Bofuri, a cute chubby human girl version of Kirby and Bella D. Hyna, the OC of a friend of ours, luckyhyna.

We also have Aki Light who is basically Mega Man but with the name taken from that one bad Cartoon Network show. I'm sorry, it was the best I could find to work in the settings of the BNHA Universe.

Alright York, knock yourself out.

Dragon King of the West A/N:

Not much to say but I hope that you guys like this chapter! We will try to update MHA: The Greatest Generation as quickly as possible to catch up to Izuku the Devil Fruit Hero and once we reach this goal then we can sink our teeth into some untraveled road. Until next time, see ya!
