Chapter 19 is finally ready. In all honesty I could have posted this earlier but I put more effort into proofread this chapter more than I have others because reasons. This is a big chapter and while writing and reading it I realized that I had more time to play with before we get into Heroes Rising. Well get to that later but for now enjoy this chapter because some developments and interactions are coming in the near future.


Chapter 19 What is it about ONE

It was night time in the city of Musutafu, an abandoned sake brewery was being used to hold illegal drugs. Men were packaging the product which included, Trigger, LSD, Cocaine, Ecstacy and Heroin and moving it into separate cases to be moved and shipped to several buyers across the country. Hiding in the shadows of the warehouse were ONE and Mirko, they were observing the illegal activity below them before making a move. The two looked at each other before nodding their heads, Mirko jumped into action startling all of the men and began wrecking shop on all of them. ONE observed her from his hiding place, they seem to think she came alone, he noted how she had gotten both stronger and faster since coming back to the dojo. Mirko was putting the smack down on the men with brutal kicks that sent many of them flying and crashing across the brewery.

Reinforcements arrived and though Mirko was outnumbered she still did fine, some of them started to get desperate and began injecting themselves with Trigger. A man with a reptile mutation quirk, a man with a body enhancement quirk and a man with an electricity generation quirk all injected himself with the drug. The reptile man's body convulsed as his muscles bulged and grew bigger and sharp spikes, teeth and claws appeared on his body. The man with the enhancement quirk's body convulsed and grew until he was a giant wall of muscle, and the electric man seemed to become electricity as energy burst from his body in all directions. His power destroyed the area around him and hit some of his friends.

This was the moment ONE had waited for. He had finished his Trigger counter drug and this was the perfect time to use it. The reptile rushed forward to take a swing at Mirko only for his arm to be swatted down, he's shocked to see ONE as in that same motion the vigilante strikes his chin with his wrist, stunning him before slamming a brutal punch to his stomach. This blow sent him crashing into the muscle man, the two hit the wall behind them with a loud crash. The electric villain high on trigger spoke, "Wow! Both ONE and Mirko show up to bust our operation, It's gonna be hella fun turning you two into ash!"

ONE reached into his utility belt and pulled out a bullet, it was a bullet with a needle head containing a blue substance. "I know what Trigger does to you so all I can say to you is..Don't do drugs!" ONE exclaimed as he flicked the bullet at the electric man. The effects of the bullet instantly took effect as the electricity that shrouded his body suddenly dissipated. The man looked at his hands in disbelief when his body suddenly went numb and he fell flat on his face, "What the hell did you do to me?" He asked in disbelief.

One smiled at the downed villain, "Chemistry."

The other two started to get back up and back in the fight when ONE flicked "Nummer" bullets at them, the bullets hit their bodies and the effects of the drug instantly died out as they dropped to the floor unable to move. "Three for three. Good to know they work as well as I expected." ONE said as he got back to the wave of villains coming at him and Mirko. After all of the men in the warehouse were unconscious Mirko and ONE looked around, triumphant. "Well, that was easier than I expected." Mirko said as she did a light stretch.

ONE smiled at the heroine, "Yeah I know right. It's amazing what happens when you use stealth instead of just kicking the door in!" He said jokingly.

Mirko smirked at him, "I stand by my statement, it's still the easier of two options."

"I'd be surprised if you didn't. You call this in, I'm going to try and find some info on the boss of these guys." He said turning to go find a computer as Mirko called the cops.

After making the call she found ONE in a room working with a computer, "Doing a little hacking are we?"

"It's the only real way to find what I'm looking for, Sakito took a lot of precautions to make sure I couldn't get at him online. He's got barrier after barrier on here." He said slightly annoyed.

"How often do you hack villains?" Mirko asked.

"As often as I need to. Admittedly I'm not as good as Intech but I'm not terrible" He said as he continued to hit keys. After a few minutes he seemed to find what he was looking for, "And..Got it!" He said as he suddenly heard sirens in the distance. "Police are on their way, I gotta hurry this up!" He exclaimed as he worked harder.

"You've been tracking this drug lord for a few weeks now right?" Mirko asked.

"I wouldn't call him a drug lord, more of a drug associate. Fortunately the drug trade isn't all that high in Japan, but it IS high in China and people will always find a way. Also the guys we had to beat up tonight, try to have some empathy." The heroine looked at him with a raised brow. "We had to stop this because these drugs are dangerous, but less than ideal circumstances put them in a position where they were forced to make a living outside the law."

The look in her eyes shifted as she turned from him, "I know that, and I tend to save my less lethal kicks for those types."

ONE smiled, "Good to know."

ONE had gotten all the information he needed and put it all on a goober that he gave to Mirko. As the police entered the building ONE used "Phase ONE" to jump through the wall and out of the building before deactivating the technique and jumping off the air and landing on the roof. He waited for a while as the police arrested everyone and confiscated all the drugs, Mirko came outside and gave him a knowing look before he leaped into the city unnoticed with Mirko following behind him. The two met up on the roof of a building, "Our first undercover drug bust is in the books. I gotta admit it's good working with you, Mirko." ONE said with a smile.

"It's good working with you too. You know I'm not a fan of teams but as far as this goes it's alright." She said, smiling back at him.

ONE smiled, "Wow, that's a real compliment coming from you."

"I learn more about you and you keep things entertaining." She said back.

Before ONE could respond, Intech spoke into his cowl, "Hey bro you might want to get to the bridge. You know that escaped convict we've been tracking? Well he's trapped a couple heroes and civilians in a truck and place bombs across the city!" He exclaimed.

"On it." He said before turning to the rabbit hero, "Mirko, we've gotta go!"

On the city bridge leading into Musutafu the escaped villain known as Hyottoko was standing on top of a truck. He was a tall man with seafoam green hair wearing a black business suit and a Hyottoko mask over his face, he was a criminally insane villain who ONE had put away five months prior after foiling his bombings. He was also the cousin of the "Smile Hero: . Police helicopters were shining on him and the assault team of the PD was stationed on the bridge with guns drawn on him. Hyottoko seemed to enjoy the moment as he raised his hands and waved at the copter as if giving a performance before picking up a gas can and pouring it into the hole in the roof of the truck. Inside there were three heroes as well as civilians tied up and gagged as they became horrified as they screamed as the psychopath poured the flammable liquid onto them. "Stop this now you freak!" One of the heroes yelled as gasoline continued to fall on him.

The villain finished pouring the gasoline, "Now that was rude, hero. That hurt my feelings. Should I teach you a lesson so you can be better at your job?" He said sarcastically as he seemed to think to himself.

"No! You don't have to do that! Please just let us go!" Several people in the truck cried out, and the moment they did they all started laughing uncontrollably. The villain's quirk had taken effect and they couldn't stop themselves.

"It sounds to me like you're all having a good time. Don't worry I know how to make it better, the party's about to get REAL hot in here!" He exclaimed with a smile as he took out a lighter and tried to light it but it wouldn't, "Damn it, give me a minute." He said as he kept trying to light the lighter.

After a few tries the villain was able to ignite the lighter and he dropped it into the truck full of people covered in gas. They were horrified as the villain's quirk forced them to keep laughing while the villain laughed as the lighter fell on a puddle of gas and began to spread and set everyone in the truck on fire. Hyottoko in the middle of his laughing in his spotlight didn't register the white blur blitzing towards him as Mirko nailed him with a kick, she then took the extinguisher grenade ONE had given her and tossed it into the truck, it released a substance that extinguished the flames and covered everyone inside. With that taken care of she could put all of her attention on the villain she was rubbing his arm. He looked up at the heroine with disappointment, "Aww, and I went through all of this to get the green boy out here and I got the bunny girl? Talk about disappointment!" He said mockingly behind his mask as he quickly pulled out a knife and got ready to fight.

His comments irked the rabbit, "A disappointment huh? ONE is busy taking care of your bombs. So you'll have to settle with me to be the one to send you flying!" She exclaimed.

The villain just waved his hand, "Oh please chubby bunny if I wanted to play with you I would have found you. I go through all this just to get his attention and he doesn't show." He said, sounding disappointed. "I put real effort into this, hell I know for a fact the non heroes in that truck were saved by him while I was locked up but instead of saving the FLESH he does the NERD thing!" He exclaimed as he dramatically lowered his head before perking back up and looking at Mirko. "Hey chubby bunny, I hear you two are good friends these days, is he a nerd?"

Mirko had a tick mark and was beyond pissed with this psycho, "How should I know." She answered, but before she could continue she began laughing uncontrollably, she had been affected by his quirk, "Outburst" . "You called me "chubby bunny" twice! So now I'm seriously gonna kick your ass!" She exclaimed through laughter as she speed blitzed the villain and decked him in the gut with a side kick.

With ONE, he was using his scanners to searched for the bombs, he had played this game with Hyottoko five months ago and his M.O hadn't changed at all, which meant the bombs he had planted were likely very powerful so he had to move fast. Thanks to his scanners he was able to find the first one on the side of a building, after quickly disarming it he moved on to the next one. After disarming the first one it set off a timer and he had a minute and a half to disarm four more. His scanners allowed him to see the electric trail that connects them and he was able to find three more, all within close proximity to each other. He was stressing with twenty seconds left he couldn't find that last bomb to disarm, after ten seconds a feverishly searching he spotted it in a blind spot on a building and withthout the time to disarm it he tossed it into the clouds with it exploding out of reach of the city.

All the bombs were dissarmed and the bomb squad enroute to pick them up he decided to call Mirko, she should have dealt with Hyottoko by now. "Mirko, I got all the bombs. How are things on your end?"

"I took him down. This joker's going back where he belongs, the pros and people he captured are all safe too. That was good thinking on your part, If you hadn't given me that fire extinguisher this would have been bad."

"That's the beauty of my utility belt, everything I have is for a situation when I might. I've dealt with this guy before so I was sure you would need it."

"Good call…Are you still patrolling for a while longer?"

"I am. I'll meet you on the roof of the national bank if you want to continue working with me?"

"She smiled, "I'll be there, just give me about five minutes to wrap things up here."

"See you there."

ONE made it to the bank and looked out for crime until Mirko arrived. He waited for a while when Mirko showed up, the two talked for a while before he got a call on his hero phone, it was from Mr Jin's Pizza.

"Hey ONE, you hungry?" The owner asked.

"For the best pizza in the city..Always!" He exclaimed.

"I'm happy to hear that. I got a medium, extra pepperoni and bacon ready for you."

"You're too good to me Mr. Jin."

"You bet. It'll be on the roof in your normal pick up spot."

"Yes sir." ONE said before ending the call. He then turned to Mirko, "Are you hungry? I just scored a free pizza."

"What's on it?" She asks.

"It's a medium extra pepperoni and bacon, and it's from the best pizza shop in the city. You've gotta try it at least once!"

Mirko thought about it for a moment as she pulled out her phone to check the time, "Why not, It's my cheat day for four more hours."

The two headed over to the roof of the pizza shop, and found the pizza on a chair on the roof. They sat on the edge, opened the pizza and began to eat. "Ok you were right, this IS pretty good." Mirko said as she finished her first slice.

"I told you."

"You said you got this for free, how did you hook that up?" She asked the vigilante.

"I saved the shop from a villain group who was trying to shake down the businesses in the area a few months ago. After that incident the owner Mr. Jin offers me free pizza once in a blue moon."

Mirko was satisfied with his explanation as she picked up another slice of pizza, as the two ate they talked about their night amongst various other things. "This is good, but it would have been better if you got carrots on it." Mirko said.

"Who puts carrots on pizza?!" ONE exclaimed.

"I do! Got a problem with that?!" She shot back.

"Yes! That's almost as bad as those who put fruit on their pizza. It just doesn't belong! Could almost be considered a sinful act." he said dramatically.

"I like carrots, sue me!" She said dramatically.

"Clearly. You're really stingy with your carrots too, you wouldn't even share one with me when I asked you earlier." He said playfully.

She smirked at him, "My carrots are mine, screw you. And besides, you haven't given me YOUR carrot so why should I give you one of mine?" She said, giving him a flirtatious look.

ONE decided to play along, "I thought rabbits were herbivores? Plus this isn't a carrot, it's a thick long sausage. I would tell you to ask somebody but of course, you already know." He replied in a flirtatious tone.

His words were turning her on. As after discovering his identity and seeing what he's packing in his pants that night she's been patiently waiting for him to give her that big thing. Yeah he was a kid, but he's old enough and given everything he's done and the way he acts plus the more she gets to know him it's clearly just in age. He also had the biggest cock she's ever seen, and since that night in the bathroom she couldn't help but touch herself thinking of what that weapon between his legs could do to her. And what she would gladly do to it. She gave him a sly smile, "Oh I know, and I want to know what you can do with that sausage."

ONE smirked at her, "Make you feel good over and over again." he said in a sly tone.

Her sly smile still present, "Oh don't think you'll be able to satisfy me just because you have a big dick. You'll need much more than that."

"Noted. Remember those words when I make you cum with just one thrust." He said with confidence.

His words ignited a flame within the rabbit hero, "Oooh now I'm getting excited." She responded.

They continued to eat and talk about what they've done today, "I still can't believe you actually made a counter drug to "Trigger".

"What's so unbelievable about that?"

"Because you normally leave that stuff to the forensic scientists and the others who work for the police, heroes don't make that stuff themselves."

"I am that ONE hero unlike any other. Plus I've been putting off making this for a while so I buckled down these past few weeks and after some tests I finally finished it."

"So you're a genius at chemistry?" She asked with a raised brow.

"Among other things." He answered.

They both sat on the roof and looked out to the city and noted how beautiful it is, just looking out to the city and the people from above it was truly amazing. ONE looked to Mirko and saw her ears go on high alert, noting she had detected something just as he had noticed a presence creeping up behind them. He didn't have to turn around to know who it was, "Eraserhead, I'm currently enjoying the best pizza in the city and I swear if you do something that makes me drop this I'm dropping a dragon tornado on your head!" He exclaimed with a hollow threat. The two turned around to see the Erasure Hero: Eraserhead behind them.

"Your stealth could use some work, I could hear you getting close for the past minute." Mirko said in a slightly mocking tone.

"Cut him some slack Mirko, moving without making a sound is an advanced technique that took even me a while to master. For the record I already knew you were coming." He said, pointing to some rooftops in the distance at his ten o'clock. "I saw you clingy to the shadows before jumping across the street three minutes ago."

The Erasure hero had an annoyed look in his eyes, "I didn't come to fight, I came to talk." He said, clearly annoyed.

ONE looked at the man with a raised eyebrow behind his cowl, "Well either you're being genuine or you've finally learned how to hide your malice." He said smiling as he knew he didn't want to fight. "Well if you want to talk let's talk. Can I offer you a slice? It's the best in the city."

"I'm good." He answered dryly as he stepped closer to the two.

"Wow, that is your HUGE loss." ONE stated as he picked up another slice.

Eraserhead sighed as he looked at the two, "You two seem awfully friendly with each other?"

"Believe it or not Eraserhead I'm actually a pretty nice guy when you TRY to know me. Plus having hero friends is awesome, and admittedly Mirko's good company." He said with a smile.

"Well compared to most guys I know, you're easily the most interesting. You're not boring and you're far from a wimp. Plus working with you makes teaming up seem almost bearable." She said with a smirk.

"Wow, once again you're hitting me with real compliments. You're making me feel almost special." ONE said with a smile.

She kept smirking as she turned from him, "Don't get used to it."

"Wouldn't dream of it."

"Have you two been teaming up all day?" Eraser asked.

"More or less. We bumped into each other while stopping a robbery earlier and we've been together ever since."

Mirko chimed in, "I gotta admit this has been one of my busiest days in a while."

"The smartest villains stay in the shadows, but they're all connected to each other in one way or another. And once you find the link, it leads to other villains and their illegal operations." ONE said with a smirk.

"So you're a detective now?" Eraser asked, skeptical.

"I'd have to be Eraser. With everything I've done, most of it wouldn't have been possible if I didn't have an arsenal of detective skills. You said you wanted to talk but you're not doing much of it, you're just asking dry questions. So let me ask you something, Eraserhead. How are you and how has your day been?" He asked with a smile.

He sighed again, "I've been alright, and my day's been relatively peaceful."

"Except for the part when you tried and failed to get the drop on ONE, so now you're stuck doing this." Mirko stated.

"I wasn't trying to get the drop on him." He said back in defense.

"Bullshit and you know it. This has everything to do with the fact that you along with the rest of the top heroes got curbstomped when you tried to use a distress signal to ambush him." She said, clearly mocking him.

"As I recall you declined to join the operation." Eraser shot back.

"Yeah I kinda told her about how everything shook down." ONE said.

"I told them to piss off when they asked me to join, but I didn't know the particulars of what they were planning." She said, honestly.

"As I told you then Eraserhead, your actions were villainous. Now that I've had some time to think about it I'm more disgusted than honored that the top heroes used such a tactic to get at me."

"The plan was to immobilize you, not to fight. Our actions may have been less than ideal, but most of us truly just wanted to help you." He said in a sincere and genuinely honest tone.

"That's what you don't understand, Eraserhead. I don't want your help, and I don't need it. Everytime I see you, you always try to hit me with your black and white B.S of hero ethics. Let me say this to you one last time. This is MY way of being a hero. I don't do this for fame or admiration, I'm simply living my dream. Being what I've always wanted to be the only way I can. So no matter what you do, I'm NEVER giving it up!" He exclaimed.

The man grit his teeth, "We're not ASKING you to give it up. But everything you do as a vigilante sets a bad precedent! If you want to be a hero you HAVE to do it the right way! The quality of the country's heroes as well as their confidence is being questioned and falling everyday and you're a huge reason for that." He said, sounding frustrated.

"One, the quality of Japanese pros isn't my problem. Two, say what you want about me setting a bad precedent, but given some of the things I've prevented I hate to think what would've happened if I did nothing. Which is what you're saying I should have done. And third, If the pros are losing confidence that's a personal problem, one that has a very simple solution. And finally, from my point of view this IS the right thing to do, so forget about trying to convince me otherwise." He said with conviction.

Mirko decided to comment as she noticed the situation getting tense, " This conversation is going nowhere Eraserhead. Plus you know as well as I do he's not the reason most of our heroes suck. Anyone can take down some wannabe thugs and call themselves a hero but how many step up when a truly powerful threat shows up? Moreover, how many can actually deal with said threat? I'm with ONE on this, which is why I don't care that he's a vigilante. He's literally saved millions and he's been at this just over a year, doesn't that include you?" She asked, sure of his answer.

"Yes, he saved me and my students at the USJ, I'm grateful." He said with sincerity. "But he's still an illegal hero, and we can't ignore him and let him do what he wants." He said in a stern voice.

ONE perked up, "Ok will you two please stop talking about me like I'm not sitting right here?"

Eraserhead sighed, "ONE, I don't know your reasons for being a vigilante, You won't give a straight answer. But you HAVE to be competent enough to know that you doing what you're doing will inspire every wannabe hero and hero course flunkie to follow in your path, when not EVERYONE can be as good as you!" He exclaimed.

"That's not my intention Eraserhead, I'm just living my dream! That's all I ever wanted, that's all I've ever done! All I want is to help people, to use my abilities to the best of my abilities to save people with a smile!" He exclaimed.

The older man sighed, "Tell me what happened to you, I can help. There's no way for me to know why you chose this path, but maybe..Even on the smallest level I can understand…When you spoke the other day It was clear a lot's happened to you. I'm a teacher at UA, we can help get you a pro license. Just give us a little trust..Let me help you?" He asked with sincerity.

ONE took in the words of the erasure hero, he didn't doubt that he thought he could help him. But he was a teacher at UA, the same institution that openly discriminated against him and claimed it was for his own good. He admitted Eraserhead had a point but his circumstances were truly unique, no one ever gave him a chance to try and achieve his dream, and he was denied for the same reason by everyone. This man couldn't possibly understand him. "I can't trust you, Eraserhead, or UA…I'm sorry." He said with sincerity.

He picked up the empty box of pizza before turning to Mirko, "I'll see you later Mirko."

"Yeah, see you later." She said in a gentle and understanding tone before ONE leaped from the building into the city.

The erasure and rabbit hero were left on the roof, Eraserhead turned to the rabbit woman, "What do you know?" He asked, narrowing his eyes behind his goggles.

"Nothing at all." Mirko said before jumping away leaving Eraserhead to ponder his talk with ONE.


The next day

In a conference room at the Musutafu police department, heroes have gathered to discuss the latest issue in regards to a recurring problem. The vigilante ONE. Nezu had linked up with detective Tsukuichi to set up this meeting that included most of those who took part in the failed attempt to capture ONE. Though they were preparing for final exams he felt that this was necessary given their latest altercation with the vigilante. They were completely and utterly defeated with ease. Even All Might was no match for the infamous vigilante. Nezu also remembered his words before the fight, and this only increased his curiosity in the illegal hero. He was a young man that had been through so much, whatever his circumstances were, they led him to the path of becoming a vigilante.

Sitting around the table was every hero present at the operations minus Hawks. Everyone sat around the table ready for the meeting to begin, Crust was talking to All Might, trying to somewhat lighten the mood. Endeavor was glaring at the symbol of peace while Best Jeanist was looking stern. Edgeshot sat quietly with his arms crossed while Ryukyuu and Yoroi Musha did the same. Eraserhead, Nezu, Wash and Gang Orca sat quietly as detective Tsukauchi walked in. "Hello everyone, I'm glad you were all able to take time from your busy schedules to come to this meeting. I'm sure you all know what this is about so let me get right to it. "The situation with ONE is now officially out of our control!" He exclaimed.

"His name and reputation have spread across the entire country. It's gotten to the point where even forign powers are aware of him and representatives at the U.N can't hold them off anymore. Every major thing he's done over the past few weeks, from the meteor, the hero killer, the hijacking, the USJ Incident and now the incident in Hosu have sent ripples across the country and the world. Now there's no containing it. It also doesn't help that he's in the media basically everyday, and now he has merchandise popping up in stores across the country. And people seem to LOVE it. As I understand your operation to capture him failed miserably, but did you gain anything that could uncover his identity?"

Nezu clasped his paws, "It's as you said we were utterly defeated. We underestimated his resolve to stick to his path while overestimating our ability to force him off of it." His words made everyone feel ashamed.

"That young man is truly powerful." Yoroi Mushu stated.

"From the very beginning he was in complete control of the situation, I let my pride blind me." Best Jeanist admitted.

Endeavor with a fiery glare turned to All Might, "If you thought taking down that brat would be easy you're a fool. But I want to know, HOW the HELL did YOU LOSE?!" He yelled at All Might demanding an answer. "And I'm not just talking about that damn brat! What about the blue villain that destroyed a part of the city!"

The symbol of peace turned to Nezu who had no words. A video of the full fight with the blue villain was making its way around online, vindicating ONE and showing that he along with the media lied. Turning back to the flame hero, his smile faded as he spoke, "I don't have any excuses, I gave it my all but it just wasn't enough. The blue villain beat me…and I just couldn't get back into the fight." Everyone's eyes widened as they listened to him continue. "And as for ONE…It was incredible fighting him for the first time, I was shocked at how he outclassed me in every way. He was faster, stronger and more skilled than me, I never touched him once. His final attack was something I'd never seen before..It completely overpowered my "Plus Ultra". And the scary part is I could tell he was holding back…I never stood a chance." He finished, with his words shocking everyone in the room.

Everyone's eyes went wide after hearing what All Might had said, Nezu just looked down, while Crust looked ready to cry. Endeavor however had a look of utter disbelief. He had spent all these years and done so much in the pursuit of surpassing All Might, realizing he couldn't, he placed everything on Shoto. And now his ambition has been foiled and obtained by some illegal hero who came out of nowhere, and doing it like it was NOTHING. He had faced the vigilante on multiple occasions and each time he easily defeated him before escaping, hence his animosity towards him. But All Might..He wasn't supposed to lose, he was the most powerful force of nature in the WORLD! Mixed emotions swirled in him at that moment, he felt angry, sad, shocked, disappointed and robbed.

His emotions finally hit a breaking point, "WHO THE HELL EVEN IS THIS GUY?! People like this DON'T just come out of nowhere!" He exclaimed to everyone in the room.

Best Jeanist in spite of his own shock at the news regained his composure, "Calm down Endeavor." The two stared each other down for a moment before the flame hero sat down.

Gang Orca spoke up, "That aside, I can't help thinking about what he said at the shipyard."

"Yes, there was pain behind his words." Edgeshot stated.

Yoroi Mushu chimed in, "We were all there, we all heard what he said..Apparently he was an outcast no one ever tried to understand. And he was shunned for wanting to be a hero."

Nezu spoke up, "That's the impression I got. I was listening during his fight with All Might and he hinted at a time he needed someone to tell him he could be a hero."

"Yeah, I tried to stop the fight and tell him he didn't need to be a vigilante, that he could be a pro." All Might then lowered his head and sighed, "But he wouldn't let me in..To him he doesn't need that validation or approval because he's proven it on his own as ONE." He said with a sad tone.

"Do we have any leads of what his quirk could be, or even how old he is?" Best Jeanist asked.

Tsukauchi answered, "The jury is still out on the former. But given his height and tone of voice we estimate he's in his late teens to mid twenties.

Eraserhead spoke up next, "It should be worth noting that my quirk has absolutely NO effect on him."

"That would mean his quirk is either a mutation type or he doesn't have one right?" Gang Orca asked.

"Well we know he certainly isn't quirkless." Best Jeanist stated.

"Maybe his quirk is considered villainous? Maybe he's obtained all of his power by needing to take from or hurt others?" Edgeshot suggested.

"That's the only thing that makes any real sense." All Might agreed.

Nezu spoke up, "We're still not sure just how many abilities he possesses, making narrowing down a quirk or even several quirks with that specific nature difficult to nail down.

Yoroi Musha spoke up, "Be that as it may, he has some skills. He's been trained and trained well. We may not have lasted long but we saw him fight. Gang Orca, you were going to hit him with a sonic wave but he shoved your head up and kicked you away before you could. You don't just do that. That has to be practiced and coupled with an understanding of both your quirk and fighting style. He became Intangible when dealing with you two, and was able to easily deflect a punch from you and toss you with ease." He said looking at All Might, Best Jeanist and Edgeshot.

Eraserhead looked at him, sure of where he was going with this, "You're saying ONE studies heroes?"

"He MUST have." The oldest hero in the room stated confidently.

"That shouldn't be surprising. We're the most notable heroes in Japan, our quirks as well as our movesets are for the most part easily accessible information…Multiple quirks..Coupled with martial arts prowess..It's a rarely seen combination. Do we have an estimate on just how many abilities he has? The ninja hero asked aloud.

Nezu spoke up, "We can't confirm a solid number. But we can say for certain that he has super strength, speed, durability and endurance. He can fly, produce tornadoes, strong gusts of wind, clone himself, generate fire, fire shockwaves and blades of air and also become intangible and invisible. And those are just the ones we can see, he may have abilities pertaining to his senses."

Ryukyu, who had been listening this whole time, was deep in thought, something that didn't go unnoticed by Nezu. "Is something wrong Ryukyuu?"

At that moment Ryukyu was thinking of how certain she was that ONE was a disciple of Rising Sky. Keizo and Michiko would surely know who he was and she made a point to speak with them about this. However, given everything ONE had said that day, she was hesitant to share that fact with the others, at least for now. "I can't stop thinking about what he said. I asked him to try and help us understand why he's doing this but try as I might I still can't."

Everyone sighed as they recalled the vigilante's words before they fought. The true pain and frustration as he clearly recalled everything that led to him putting on the suit and cowl. Each and every one of them had thought about what he said and they still couldn't understand his reasoning. If what All Might said is true then he has proven he can be a hero dozens of times over, but for him to do it in this way was just bad. Though ONE mainly operates in Musutafu, since his app launch he's been all over the country. Hundreds of incidents have been traced back to him and he's been accepted by the public as a genuine hero. But his infamy has caused issues with the public relations to heroes, their quality being questioned daily while he seems to set a new standard.

"I actually ran into him last night." Eraserhead said, getting the attention of everyone. "I'm sure we are all aware that he played a part in stopping that escaped villain last night. Mirko may have taken him down but according to her he disabled bombs the villain had planted. I saw the two last night and I tried to talk to him..But I didn't get anywhere. His reasons go far beyond not caring about what we think. He genuinely doesn't trust us, he doesn't trust us not to turn on him or shun him. He won't open up to us, I'm certain Mirko knows something, but I only know her by reputation and I don't think she'd tell us anything."

Ryukyu with her arms crossed answered, "You're right on the money there, Eraserhead. No one can make that rabbit do something she doesn't want to do. And If she's actually teaming up with him it means she genuinely doesn't care that he's a vigilante."

Crust suddenly jumped up, "I get that this isn't a popular opinion, but why don't we just give him a special license that allows him to continue what he's doing!" He exclaimed, surprising everyone.

Best Jeanist turned to the shield hero, "You're saying we should give him a pass?"

"Basically! We can't stop him. We can't convince him to become a pro, we can't beat him and we can't even understand his motives. All the more reason to just give him a special license to continue doing what he's doing while reporting his actions to the police! That could actually work!" He said with a smile.

Tsukauchi sighed, "I don't doubt that Crust, but it's not that simple. He set's an extremely bad precedent. If we work with him it could in many ways invalidate the process and ethics of being a hero." The shield hero sat down as his suggestion was shot down.

Outside ONE was walking the streets and making his way towards Musutafu P.D with an envelope in his hand. He was being accompanied by a girl with short, peach blonde hair, glasses and pink-red eyes. This was Kagami Kusakabe, she was a member of Sakai High's newspaper club and after bumping into ONE on the street she asked if she could shadow him for a while which he agreed to. She had asked him constant questions and was writing down all of his answers. "So you are going to the police department to give them the counter drug for "Trigger" that you have created, yes?" She asked excitedly.

"That's right." He answered honestly.

"Fascinating! And you invented this counter drug yourself, Are you even sure it works?"

"This was 90% my creation, and YES, I tested it last night so I'm sure it works."

"What are the effects of this?" She asked excitedly.

"Basically once someone injects themselves with "Trigger" You shoot them with this and the effects done to them cancel, they revert to normal and their muscles are paralyzed making it easy to apprehend them." He answered with a smile.

"Incredible! For you to invent something like this is just remarkable ONE! My article in the school newspaper is going to be HUGE!" She exclaimed excitedly."

"Well I'm happy I can help." He replied smiling.

The meeting was dismissed, as everyone was beginning to get ready to go an officer came in asking for Tsukauchi. Apparently ONE had just dropped off a package, inside was a note with a container holding a blue liquid that according to the note was a counter drug to "Trigger" called "Nummer". According to the note the effects of the drug reverse those who inject "Trigger" to their original state and paralyzes the muscles. All the heroes looked shocked as All Might looked out the window and could see said vigilante flying across the city, clearly having just left the station. Best Jeanist and Eraserhead looked at the container of blue liquid, Jeanist picked it up and inspected it, "So this is supposed to reverse the effect of "Trigger", are we really supposed to believe this?"

"As much as I hate to admit it, this most likely works." Eraser said annoyed.

Jeanist looked surprised, "What makes you so sure?"

"Because he shared it with the police instead of keeping it to himself." The fiber hero took in his words and he admitted he was right.

Since their fight he couldn't get his words out of his head, and the hurt in his voice played on loop. He just wished ONE would open up and tell them why he was a vigilante. But he doesn't trust heroes, he doesn't trust HIM. And the last words he said to him stung as he remembered them. "You couldn't possibly understand what it feels like for the world to dub you as a useless failure and make a conscious effort to keep you that way, despite you having dreams like EVERY. ONE. ELSE." These words ate him as he remembered himself on the ground, defeated. "ONE..What happened to you?" He thought to himself.


It was a Thursday afternoon and Izuku was helping out at the dojo, Izuku was in his gi, being Keizo's assistance as he trained his Wing Chun students. Keizo had asked him to do this as he was by far the best sparring partner the students could have outside himself, and also because Kiyuki was studying for finals. Izuku ran the students through forms and sparred with them while also giving critiques of flaws in their form and how to improve them. Everyone who wasn't familiar with him was amazed by the talents of Rising Sky's strongest disciple. They were even more impressed when he had an intense sparring match with Keizo, their fist's were blurs and their movements were so fluid as they traded blows in the art of Wing Chun. Keizo was as sharp as ever but the student seemed to be even the master as Izuku landed several hits, their blows caused shockwaves to reverberate throughout the dojo causing the building to shake and the students observing to feel the impact, and they STUNG.

Both master and student realized they were getting a little too serious so Keizo catches a punch from Izuku, "I think that's enough for one day." Keizo said with his usual smile.

Izuku turned to the trembling students behind him, who just realized for the first time they were in the presence of such monsters. "Sorry about that." Izuku said with a smile while rubbing the back of his head.

The students got their things and left, with many of them begging Izuku to help them more with him agreeing. That was the last class of the day so Keizo and Izuku were cleaning up the dojo. In the midst of this Izuku had a question. "Keizo?"

"Yes."

"When do you think I'LL be able to become a master?"

The master smiled, "Helping the others today inspired you huh?"

"It's crazy how I've never truly thought about it. But training with the others today reminded me I was just like them at some point. If I never came here I don't know WHO I'd be."

"Well you're wrong about one thing, you were NEVER like them. There's never been a student who's trained on these grounds quite like you Izuku. But to answer your question, you have what it takes to be a master in my opinion, you've learned and mastered your craft with honor and discipline. And when you get right down to it that's all it takes." He said as he got back to cleaning

Izuku smiled at his master's words. The two finished cleaning up and they could hear Michiko talking to someone outside. "First my favorite problem child and now my favorite lowley girl has come to pay me a visit, I'm honored."

"It's good to see you too master." a femine voice replied.

Izuku and Keizo step outside to see Michiko talking to a woman with chin-length blonde hair, swept back with a headband and a long fringe over her right eye. She was wearing a blue jacket over a white hoodie, black skinny jeans and brown boots. She was in her civilian clothes but seeing her face Izuku instantly recognized her. This was then Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu. There was only one reason for her to be here and he knew what it was, Keizo smiled at seeing his former disciple, "Ryuko! It's been a while." He said excitedly.

The dragon woman turned to the man, "Master Keizo." She smiled as she bowed her head to him. "Sorry I haven't visited in so long."

"Keizo chuckles, "No need for apologies Ryuko, you're a top hero these days. So what do we owe the honor of this visit, I assume you have something to ask us?"

"Perceptive as always master. I'll get right to it then..I have questions about the vigilante, ONE. I'm certain that he was a student here and I'd like you to tell me what you know, as I'm sure you know a lot." She said facing her former masters.

Keizo and Michiko shared a look with each other before Keizo spoke, "Come inside Ryuko, let's have some tea." He suggested with a smile.

Izuku, who was silently observing the scene, followed them to the main house. Keizo told him to go make the tea while the three sat down in the living room. From the kitchen he could hear them talking about the old days when she was a student, how little the dojo was changed and apparently the dorm room he usually stays in is the same one Ryuko did. After the tea was ready Izuku poured it into four cups on a tray and laid it in front of the adults. Ryuko picked a cup and took a sip, she let out a breath as she enjoyed the flavor of the tea, "So masters..Can you please give me any information you're willing to share about ONE?"

"What's spurred this on Ryuko? Honestly I'm surprised you haven't asked us about this sooner." Michiko asked.

"Well..Long story short I was involved in an operation along with eight of the top heroes to capture him. We were soundly defeated. But I suspected before that and as I saw him fight in person I was certain he was a disciple of yours just like I was. Now I'm working with the other heroes and Musutafu P.D and at a meeting we talked about him. I didn't tell the others of your connection to him before I came to you first."

Keizo looked at his former student, choosing his word not once turning to Izuku. "Hm, I'm not surprised you were able to figure this out Ryuko. What are the heroes' plans for him if they DO unmask him?"

"That I don't know. But I suspect they'll overlook his vigilante activities and put him on the path to becoming a pro." She answered.

"Have any of you asked him why he isn't, do you have any theories as to why he isn't a pro?"

Ryuko knew Keizo was asking her these questions to gauge her response. She knew he wouldn't outright tell her who ONE is but maybe in his own way he'll silently reveal his motives. "Most of the heroes suspect that his quirk may be considered villainous. Maybe he obtained his power by needing to hurt or take from others. I'm not too sure myself what to think, If I learned anything from you two it's that one's quirk doesn't determine strength. Both of you are the strongest people I know and your quirks are basically perfect muscle memory."

Keizo took a sip of tea, "Ryuko. As a student of Rising Sky I'm sure you know we would handle a student, past or present if they took the strength we helped them attain on the wrong path. All I'm willing to say is that ONE is not one of those. He has his reasons for being a vigilante and we both support him."

Izuku was sitting between the adults just observing the conversation before him. He knew Ryukyu would come asking about him; he's just surprised she came alone. He was also thankful Keizo stood behind him in this situation and was thankful for his master and father figure.

Ryuko just sighed, "I knew you'd say something like that…He said that none of us would be able to understand him, he basically told us indirectly why he's a vigilante but I still don't get it. But I want to..I could hear the pain in his words. Why doesn't he trust heroes, how come no matter how hard we try to get him on the right side of the law he declines? Even to the point he's willing to fight to keep his status as a vigilante?"

Michiko turned to her former disciple, "Ryuko, I want you to take the time to think about this. If you want to understand ONE, try to understand the world we live in, especially with regards to pursuing a hero career. Then take a good long look at your hero's journey for the start to where you are now." She said, meeting her eyes, her words sinking into her former student.

The front door burst open and Mirko walked in, "What's up good people?!" THe rabbit woman exclaimed as she walked in.

"Hello Rumi, how was patrol?" Michiko asked

"The usual." She responded as she walked behind Ryuko and put a hand on her head, "I smelled that our favorite dragon lady had come over so I HAD to say hi!" She exclaimed.

"Hello Rumi." Ryuko said, annoyed.

"Come ON! Why do you have to say it like that so dryly? I assume you came to talk about ONE after you all got your asses kicked?" She asked, still smiling.

"Language." Keizo said.

The dragon lady had an annoyed look, "This coming from the woman who refused to help us?"

"Because I don't CARE that he's a vigilante. You people are the ones stressing and losing sleep over this." Rumi shot back.

Ryuko continued to look annoyed with the woman, "What's YOUR relationship with him? Everyone knows you have one."

Mirko just smirked, "We're friends. Nothing more nothing less."

Michiko smirked at the women, "My favorite problem child and lowly girl are back home again at the same time. Why am I fighting the urge to send you both to your rooms?"

"Nostalgia!" Rumi and Ryuko replied in unison.

Rumi shrugged, "Don't have to tell me twice. I'm going to take a shower and then a nap." She said as she began to leave the house, "Hey Midoriya, can I talk to you real quick?" Izuku got up from his seat and exited the house with the rabbit woman. They begin to walk to the dorm, "Don't worry about her. Those two won't tell her anyway and there's ZERO chance of her finding out."

"Because they'd never think to look for someone like me?"

"Exactly." She responded.

They make it to the dorm, "I'm about to go take a shower. You can wait in my room, ooor~, you can join me?" She asked with a seductive look.

Izuku had a nervous smile, "Uh, I'll wait in your room."

"See you there, stud." She said with a smirk as she made her way to the bathroom.

Izuku was laying on Mirko's bed in his underwear waiting for her to come in, he was a little thirsty so he decided to check her minifridge. He looked around and grabbed a carbonated water bottle and began to drink. He stood up when he heard the door open and in came Rumi Usagiyama, completely naked covered in a towel. "Making yourself at home?" She asked, looking at him.

"A little bit of that, and keeping myself hydrated." He answered.

The woman gave a seductive look as she smiled at him, "Good, because you're gonna need it." She said before throwing her towel to the side and revealing her hot, athletic, naked body in its full glory. His eyes were fixed on her form. Mirko was a beautiful, well built woman and her costume made that clear. Her boobs were roughly as big as Momo's and her ass was toned and thick, and he's imagined on multiple occasions what it would be like for her to sit on his face. The rabbit saw the mesmerized look in his eyes as she approached him smiling with a lust filled look. "See something you like, kid?" She asked, looking up at him.

"Yeah actually. I'm seeing a lot of things I like right now." He answered, looking down at her with a charming smile.

She smirked as she began massaging the bulge in his underwear, "Hm, me too." She said as she dropped to her knees and pulled down his underwear, freeing his dick. She started to lightly stroke it, her eyes going wide in realization, "Wow~. This thing is bigger than I remember." The dick was now a solid, hard twelve inches when she put it over her face, "It's way bigger than my-. Damn~." She smelled it and the scent alone made the pussy start to drip. She gave the tip a kiss before swirling it with her tongue, she then mouthed the side of it before taking the dick into her mouth and frimley sucking it. She bulged her left cheek with it before easily swallowing him all the way to the base with his pubic hair tickling her nose.

Izuku was shocked at this action, he looked at her beautiful face, amazed with his dick in her hot, tight throat. "HOLY CRAP! She swallowed me whole like it was nothing! "DAMN look at all that ASS!" He thought as she started bobbing her head up and down his shaft. She continued to suck and slurp him all while her eyes watered and her pussy made a small puddle on the floor. Izuku stood, gladly enjoying the blowjob. She was clearly very experienced and this felt DAMN good. Rumi looked up at him as she took one of his big balls into her mouth and gently suckled it. Izuku let out a moan from the unfamiliar pleasure, something the rabbit woman noticed as she freed the testicle from her mouth. "Never had your balls sucked before, have you kid?"

Izuku smirked, "Is it that obvious? That feels so GOOD!"

Rumi chuckled a little, "You might wanna tell your girl that." She said as she stroked his dick with one hand while she played with his balls with the other, "Because you've got a nice set of family jewels here. They're the size of pool balls!" She said before taking the other one into her mouth and pleasuring the male. The sounds of sucking, humming and Izuku's moans filled the room as the rabbit woman worked the teen, his balls were big and heavy in her mouth and she was sure he had a lot of cum in them. After a while she freed the cum-filled sack from her mouth and looked at her work. She had a lustful look in her eyes as she stood up looking at him, "This is exactly what I needed." she said smiling as she wrapped her hands around his head and pulled him down into a kiss. The two tongues wrestled for dominance with Izuku beating her while grabbing her thick ass and giving it a squeeze that surprised her. Mirko broke the kiss, "Ah~! You're bolder than I thought." She said sexily.

Izuku gave her a charming smile, "What can I say, I like this bunny's buns."

"Really~." She said before taking him and pushing him onto the bed. Izuku slid back, laying his head on the pillow at the front as Rumi crawled onto the bed with the sexy look of a predator who's cornered her prey. The two kept eye contact until Rumi placed her ass over his face, "If you like my "Buns" so much you better show me." Izuku had a huge smile as his fantasy became reality when she sat on his face, he grabbed her ass as his tongue tasted her womanhood. A wave of pleasure shot through Rumi as she felt the effects of his skillful tongue lashing her pussy. She's been eaten out before, Izuku isn't the first lucky bastard she's sat on but he IS the first to lick and pleasure her in a way she has truly never known. "Ah~, ah~! I'm about to-." She never finished as girl-cum erupted from her and her body flexed with pleasure, this was by far the strongest orgasm in a while. She hasn't felt like this in a LONG time, not even when she did it herself, no man has ever got her off like this, and he made it look so easy.

She fell forward as her body was racked with orgasm but to her surprise the teenage boy let her go just to spread her legs and continue to lick her. "Fuck~!" She let out a couple of deep breaths, "You really know how to use that tongue don't you?!" She exclaimed, still high on orgasm.

He stopped licking her to answer, "I like to think of it as part of my charm." He answered before he got back to pussy eating.

Rumi threw her head back and grip the sheets as she felt another orgasm quickly building up, she looked down at the boy lapping her pussy like a hungry cat. "You know a lot of guys hesitate to go down on me, these thighs could crush your head you know." She said with a smirk.

Izuku circled her clit before answering, "Oh I'm well aware of the danger of this particular spot, and I think it's hot. I'm also not a normal man so give it your best shot..Starting right now." He said as he went back to work.

Rumi's eyes went wide, "Oh~, oh~ fuck! AAAAHHH!" She yelled out as her back arched and she tried in vain to close her legs as Izuku's brute strength held them apart as she felt orgasm after orgasm. His tongue became a blur as it hit her clit dozens of times setting off multiple orgasms that tear through her body. Izuku let go of her thighs and saw her spread out on the bed with her O-face telling him everything he needed to know, and that was that she was very satisfied. He climbed on top of her and gave her a charming smile, "So this is your O-face huh Rumi? It's way cuter than I thought it would be."

Still high on orgasm she managed to speak, she put a hand on his cheek. "Keep giving me what I want and you'll get to see more of it. Remember, you said you could make me cum with one thrust, so let's see it ONE."

"Ask and you shall receive." Izuku said as he took her right boob into his mouth and stroked her pussy with his right hand, the sensitivity causing her to instantly close her legs. Rumi threw her head back as her moans of pleasure filled the room. Izuku grabbed his hard dick and spanked her pussy, she flexed as her sensitivity was too strong. Izuku put it inside her and the woman's eyes went wide as her face became one of pure lust as the dick filled her up perfectly, she could feel him in her womb. Izuke held her thighs and gave her a powerful thrust causing her to instantly squirt. Rumi yelled out in pleasure as her fluids escaped her, Izuku gave another thrust, and then another and each time he did he rocked the rabbit woman's body with orgasm. Rumi was drowning in a sea of orgasmic bliss as he lost all concept of time and all that mattered was her and the teenage boy.

Rumi pulled him into a kiss as another powerful orgasm tore through her. After breaking apart he gave a look that meant ONE thing, they're about to fuck like rabbits. They switched positions with Rumi stretched across the bed while Izuku was on the side fucking her from behind. He perfectly pleasure her as he spanked her right ass cheek and pulled her hair, her mind was blown by how good the sex was.

20 Minutes later

Rumi was riding Izuku reverse cowgirl, her lust filled smile shown as she looked back at the male. "You like that stud, my sweet ass twerking on your thick, long, cock?!" She asked as she squeezed tighter on him and happily bounced her ass on his pelvis.

Izuku smirked as he laid back, "Of course." He answered as he lightly spanked her left ass cheek as she rode him. "You know, I'm getting a few ideas seeing this little asshole winking at me like this."

"HAHAHA! Next time baby~!" She exclaimed him as he felt her cum again.

30 Minutes later

Izuku was holding Rumi up with her back against the wall and her legs locked behind him as he pistoned into her. She bit into his left shoulder as he made her cum OVER and OVER again.

40 minutes later

Girl cum trickled down Rumi's thigh as Izuku mounted and fucked her, he was gripping her boobs and paying with her nipples as he continued to make her cum. Her high sex drive courtesy of her quirk was working against her. On one hand the constant pleasure was driving her crazy and she begged for more, on the other hand it was too much and it was getting hard to take. She's never had sex like this in her LIFE, when she first saw him in the bathroom that day she knew it would be good, but what they've done today goes beyond anything she's ever imagined. She was certain he's ruined her for other men and she was more than comfortable with that, because he was starting to believe that this boy was a literal sex god.

20 Minutes later

Izuku laid back with his arms behind his head as Rumi rode him, she bounced her ass on his dick and was having the time of her life. She's long since lost count of how many times she came but she is putting all the energy she can muster to get another one. "You're sex is so GOOD! I didn't know it could be like this!" She exclaimed as she grinded on him.

"Yeah Rumi, ride it baby." He said, enjoying himself.

Rumi put her hands on his abdomen as she rode him and from the beginning she was more than turned on by his godly physique, but right now after drowning in orgasmic bliss she wanted to get him to cum. She rode him even harder, her thick ass bouncing up and down as sex sounds filled the air, she suddely felt his dick and balls clench. "You're about to cum aren't you?" She asked with a lust filled smile as she continued to ride him. "Go ahead, I wanna fill your hot jizz in me. Don't worry, don't worry, I'm on the pill baby, just blow your load and gimme gimme!" She said as she kept riding him until Izuku reached his limit and raised his hips, releasing a copious amount of his seed into Rumi's womb.

This action also made the rabbit woman slam her ass on the male's pelvis and leaned forward, biting Izuku's shoulder as a powerful orgasm tore through her. She could feel it, she could feel her womb being filled up by this boy. There was so much of it she could feel it overflowing out of her and onto him. Her pussy was throbbing! She not only learned her limit but had gone far past it as she lifted herself up, freeing the male of her entrance and falling on top of him. Izuku laid her beside him and brushed the hair out of her face, she was spent and had the look of a sexually satified woman. "You're…A REALLY good friend Izuku." She said with a smile as she tried to catch her breath, still riding her orgasmic high.

He smiled back at her, "Hm, I do my best. Good to know I didn't disappoint." He began as he leaned into her left ear, "Right, Rumi?" He asked with a charming smile in a flirtatious tone.

Rumi's eyes went wide, from the moment he brain registered those last words, she felt a familiar sensation in her womanhood. She just came..AGAIN. It was a smaller one compared to the others she's had today, but he didn't touch her, he didn't penetrate her, but still brought her to the point of pleasure. She had no words, only thoughts, "He only said my name..And I came!...Izuku Midoriya…ONE…Just what are you?"


Next week

Izuku and Taku had finished their final exams and they were both confident in how they did. Once they were done they were allowed to leave school so they were now on the train heading back home. They talked about the upcoming Expo with Taku still not telling him what he's going to present. Taku decided to head home and relax while Izuku chose to do the same before going out on patrol. When Izuku got home he found his mom reading on the couch while his dad was on the kitchen table helping Eri with writing kanji. They all welcomed him when he entered the home with Eri getting up to hug him. After leaving her he decided to call Momo as she had her practical exam today, by now she's either done it or she's still waiting her turn so he called her.

The phone rang for a while before he heard his love's voice. "Hello Izuku."

"Hey Momo. I just got done with finals and I'm relaxing at home. How'd your practical exam go?"

"I haven't gone yet. It turns out we're not fighting robots but the teachers."

"Really?" He asked surprised.

"Yes. They've split us in teams of two and we're to either capture or escape from our opponent."

"Ok. Given the current state of the country that does make sense. Who's your partner and who are you up against?"

"My partner is unfortunately Bakugo, and we're up against All Might." She said, slightly nervous."

"Wow, the number one hero. I'm assuming you have a plan to capture him that Bakugo has no interest in listening to?"

She sighed, "Yes. That is exactly what's going on. We're actually up next." She said annoyed with the situation.

"Well good luck love. Since you're up against All Might here's a little advice. Use your speed." He said, encouragingly.

Momo hung up and seeing it was her time to go she made her way towards Ground Beta, she ran into Bakugo on the way and the two stayed in silence as they made their way through the gate and entered the training ground. Momo once again tried to plan with him, "Bakugo, I really feel that we should-."

"Shut it Ponytail! I don't need your help!" He exclaimed as he kept on moving.

"Don't be foolish. If we want to defeat All Might we have to strategize and work together."

"I SAID I DON'T NEED YOU TO PASS! He yelled, shocking Momo for a moment. "Just stay out of my way, Ponytail Bitch!"

Momo stopped and took a breath before glaring at the explosive teen, "Bakugo..Call me out of my name, ONE more time, and see what happens."She said threateningly.

He turned around and glared at her without saying a word. In that moment Momo felt a rumble and dipped into an alley just as a powerful gust of wind tore through the city destroying buildings and sending Bakugo flying. He flips and bounces off the ground a few times before stopping himself and the wind starts to die down. Momo leaves from the alley only to face a cloud of dust. "Who CARES if I destroy this city!" The booming voice of All Might called out. "Can you stop me..HEROES?!" The symbol of peace asked in a voice that was far from his usual heroic tone, his voice was reminiscent of a villain.

Momo got in her stance as she prepared to face the pro, "You're really getting into character..All Might."

"Hahaha! But of course." He said, smiling at her.

They both heard an explosion and Bakugo suddenly blasted past Momo right at All Might. "Let's go All Might!" He roared as he threw a right hook that was easily swatted before All Might brought his fist down on him and slammed him to the ground, cracking it and making him bounce then grabbing his face.

Bakugo looks at the top hero in pain and anger, "Predictable. You should work on breaking your habits, hero!" All Might yelled as he tossed him away. He then speed blitzed behind Momo, "Feeling left out Yaoyorozu?"

Momo turned her head, "Not at all. If that was your top speed then I suggest you take those weights off, otherwise this exam will be too easy and devoid of any meaning." She said calmly.

All Might was shocked by her words but he retained his smile,"Oh really?" He said as he threw a punch that phased through the girl, he then felt pain as the girl landed a side kick to his right side making him fly through several walls of a building he just destroyed.

Momo looked in the direction of the pro hidden by a cloud of dust, "I can't match All Might's power or even his durability..But my speed seems to be greater. I could outpace him and cuff him but this is a good testing ground for the technique Izuku taught me." She thought to herself.

In a flash of speed All Might was in front of her in mid swing, everything moved in slow motion as she dodged his punch, and then another, and another. Momo skillfully dodged all of All Might's attacks with minimal effort or movement, "Wow! Maybe I SHOULD take these weights off." He thought as another punch missed.

Bakugo had gotten back up and both his gauntlets were fully loaded. He looked to see Spikey Ponytail making All Might look slow. Veins were starting to bulge on his head as he got angry. She had beat him at the sports festival, no way she was THAT much stronger than him?! He still remembered when she brought Deku here and claimed HE was stronger than her, someone HE couldn't beat. No way in hell both of them were that much stronger than him, he was going to beat All Might right here and now! Momo deflected two punches, creating an opening allowing her to pummel the symbol of peace with a dozen powerful, blurring punches before leaping at him and backflipping off his chest. All Might skids back as Momo creates four exploding shuriken, tossing them at him and then exploding off his chest, shoulder and stomach. She uses the smoke to rush him, she jumps and throws a spin kick on his left side, to her surprise the blonde brings up his left arm to block with her kick cracking one of the weights on his arm.

"Nice move hero! But you'll need to do be-"

"Don't ignore me you FUCKERS!" The two turned to Bakugo just as he pulled the pin on his right gauntlet, firing a massive explosion at both of them. The blast kicks up a bunch of dust with Bakugo looking into the cloud still ready to fight.

"WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!" Momo yelled as she suddenly appeared beside. "You could have hit me with that attack!" She exclaimed.

"Tch. You're fine because you dodged it, I told you to stay out of my way didn't I?" He said, completely indifferent.

Momo was about to give a retort when she saw All Might blitzing towards Bakugo completely unscathed, "She isn't the ONLY one!" He said from his left side, completely surprising him. Before he could react, All Might decked his left gauntlet, destroying it and was about to hit him again when Momo pushed him out of the way. She placed her left hand behind her right and absorbed the punch, but the force still sent her back some distance.

Bakugo threw several explosions at All Might only for him to tank them before he hit him with a punch to the gut, making him spit up. He goes flying back, his body pulsates with pain as he tries to stand back up, All Might walks up to his injured student. "I'm disappointed in you, young Bakugo. Not only are you adamantly refusing to work with your partner, but to completely disregard her while attacking me is as unheroic as it gets. You say you want to be the number one hero but you're becoming the furthest thing from." Bakugo looked at him with anger as he was finally able to stand up. "You have so much potential, you have so much room to grow stronger boy, and I'm not just talking about your quirk."

Bakugo weakly stood in defiance of everything he just said, "Hear me All Might…If I'm so weak I have to rely on extras like her…Then I'd rather lose this!" He said through rough breaths.

All Might raised a fist to punch him, "If that's how you want it, HERO!" He said as he threw a punch that missed the boy who suddenly disappeared.

Momo had snatched Bakugo away before he could be nailed by All Might. She dipped into an alley and laid him down. He looked up at the girl, clearly frustrated. "What did I say, Ponytail?" He said, weakly.

Momo turned from him to face the top hero, "You're terrible…And you should be grateful…That I learned so much from MY hero." She said before leaving to fight.

In a flash the creation girl was in front of All Might, the symbol of peace looked at him slightly confused. "So you came back Yaoyorozu. I must admit I'm surprised. You've proven your speed, you could clearly make it to the gate and pass the exam for both of you. However you've chosen to fight, why is that?"

"It isn't too difficult to understand All Might. My speed is the only advantage I have over you and I could run away, however in this test we're meant to see you as villains, therefore I can't afford to run from a villain like you even if this IS training. And since my partner refuses to help me I'll either defeat or capture you before the time runs out." She said with conviction.

The hero's smile widened at her words before readying for battle, "Then come, Yaoyorozu!" He exclaimed.

Momo closed her eyes as she thought back to a training session she had with Izuku before school started. They were in the garden at her house where she normally trained with Michiko, "Hey Momo, I wanna teach you one of my techniques. Mind you it's not an attack but it's perfect for battle, and it allows you to use the absolute best of your abilities while also conserving energy."

"What sort of technique is this? I'm having a hard time picturing it."

"I'll show you." Izuku said before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he then got into his stance and opened his eyes. "Come at me with all you've got?"

After thirty minutes of attacking Izuku at full strength, Momo was getting exhausted. Not a single one of her attacks got through, Izuku seemed to dodge them at the last possible second and he could quickly counter her and keep her at bay all with minimal movement while no matter how fast she moved or hard she hit the result was always the same. Izuku sat down with her as she lifted herself up, "I take it that's the technique you mentioned."

He smiled back at her, "That's right. It's a technique that even Michiko and Keizo don't know, because I made it up myself. I call it "Flowing Instinct" and it's a very handy technique to have, especially when you have to spar with monsters like Keizo and Michiko. Hell, the first time I ever beat either of them in a match was because I had this."

"How is it done?"

It's a combination of other techniques, mainly the Seikuken, the inner eye and the awakening breath or as I like to call it, "The Abandonment". But there are certain criteria that must be met before you can activate it. First off, your mind must be absolutely calm, meaning nothing, including the fear of failure or death can weigh you down. Number two, you must have a good understanding and read of your opponent's rhythm. And three.."

Back in the present, Momo took a deep breath as she slowly whirled her hands in a flowing motion and took her stance as she exhaled. "And three.."

"Zone in on your opponent with all your heart and soul!" Momo thought to herself while also remembering Izuku saying the same. She opened her eyes and if one could see the Seikuken they would see that Momo was covered in a thin layer of silvery blue aura. She opened her eyes, "The real test begins now All Might." She said, now fully ready.

Momo rushed at the Symbol of peace, appearing behind him in a flash. All Might stopped for a moment as he rubbed his left cheek from the hit she just landed and looked at his arm to see the weights locked to had been shattered. He turned to the girl who just gave him a look. His smile didn't falter, "Very well Yaoyorozu." He said before taking off the weights on his other arm and legs then turning to the girl. "Regardless of how this ends, I really want to meet the person who trained you." He said before they both rushed at each other. All Might threw powerful punches but every time it seemed he would connect Momo was able to dodge at the last possible second. The two become blurs as they move across the training ground, Momo is able to deflect his attacks and land counters that don't have the same power he does but they land and build up while he misses and wastes energy.

Her face while serious didn't shift in the slightest, she was completely zoned in on their fight. Something that amazed everyone watching from the observation room. All Might crossed his arms and rushed at Momo, "Detroit…SMASH!" All Might threw a punch with Momo blitzing right into it, but Momo shifted and avoided his attack. She got close and shoved a fist into his stomach, in that same motion she hit him with a blurring flurry of kicks that stunned him in place. Momo leaps at him and hits him with whirlwind kicks. All Might tanks the hits and comes back at her, Momo continues to dodge and counter, but she falls for a faint and her left side is grazed. She adjusts and quickly creates a trip mine and throws it onto a street light behind him.

She's able to dodge two punches before getting some distance, she then speed blitzes him at her fastest and lands a brutal leopard punch into his gut, this hit does the most damage as he stumbles back. He gets close enough to alert the trip mine which fires a string of web fluid at all mights back and pulls him black before covering him in strong web. "What the hell!" He exclaimed before his right hand was cuffed with his right being pulled behind him and also cuffed, leaving him bound to a street light in some weird yet strong web while his hands were cuffed behind his back.

"You've been captured, All Might."

All Might looked around seeing that he really was cuffed and bound, "HAHAHAHAHA!" He began to laugh out loud. "Impressive. Truly impressive Yaoyorozu." He said, still laughing.

"Well this exam IS on a time clock and If I even had a chance of defeating you it would take more time than we have."

"You planned this from the start.. Having me take off the weights to test yourself, while the entire time you were planning to capture me?"

"To be perfectly honest with you I could have cuffed you at any point during this exam. However I wanted to test my new technique with you at your best. Speed was all I had here and I knew I couldn't match your power or durability so I was hoping to find a limit to the latter. But I would have needed more time."

"I honestly want to know what training you've done to become so strong. You have great control of your quirk and superhuman prowess that isn't related to it, that's always been a mystery to me."

"It's no secret All Might. I merely trained with one of the gods of martial arts. One of many lessons I learned is that the human body is capable of incredible things, though society is so built up on quirks it's important not to forget that."

All Might took in her words, "I see. Well..You pass Yaoyorozu, congratulations!" He said smiling.

"Thank you All Might." She said bowing her head before going to check on Bakugo. She suddenly grabbed her left arm as she suddenly felt pain, she then remembered where it came from. "This hurts! He only grazed me…" She thought as she rubbed her hurting side. "Flowing instinct could definitely use more work."

Back in the observation room everyone had witnessed her basically say she MAY have beaten All Might if given more time. This concluded the final exams with many students happy at their accomplishments while others were dejected. Many of them have overcome the trial the teachers had set for them, and those who passed were going to the summer training camp. The first semester was almost over and they had much to look forward to.


Chapter 19 ends like that. Leave a review because I'm really looking to writing the next chapter leading into Heroes Rising. The heroes hove their own thoughts on ONE, Ryukyu is on the right track but still can't figure it out. The first Izumirko lemon is in the books and I think it was pretty hot. All Might just can't stop thinking about ONE and what he said, Endeavor is both pissed and depressed by what he's learned. Eraserhead shot his shot at getting through to ONE but he doesn't understand him and maybe never will. Come back for the chapter 20 because I'm looking forward to writing it. Next time, ONE talks to All Might and Bakugo, Momo practices her BJ skills on Izuku, ONE helps people and Izuku and Taku go to I-Island.
