It's now early November. About two months have passed since Izuku and Ibara became devils. Both have been training hard for the U.A. Entrance Exam, which was now a little over three months away. "Come on, Izu-kun, you can do it!" Rias cheered from behind him.

Izuku nervously gulped as he looked down from the top of the building he was on. Rias had gone and asked permission for them to use one of U.A.'s training fields for the day. The building he was on wasn't the tallest, only about 10 stories, but that didn't mean he wasn't nervous. Hell, up until about a week ago, he wouldn't dare look down from the patio of his apartment.

Now? Rias was about to make him jump off a taller building to practice with his Dragon Force ability. He already was able to maintain that state for a few hours, now he just needed to learn how to fly with the wings it granted him. So, she had him practice by jumping off some trees at the club building. While he now has better control over his wings, he was still having trouble flying with them. Which is why they came here.

Having already summoned his Boosted Gear and activated Dragon Force, Izuku felt dizzy at seeing the empty cars on the ground, which resemble toys from his current perspective. "Uh… Is this really necessary?"

"It's how I learned," Rias calmly walked towards the building's edge, unfolding her wings. "Just follow me." She practically floated off the building, hovering in the air a couple of meters from the edge.

Izuku watched in slight awe at how graceful Rias was in the air. Though his awe soon turned into embarrassment, his head burning up when the wind fluttered her skirt up, revealing her black lace panties for just the briefest moment.

Rias, not at all embarrassed, smiled at him. "Your turn."

Izuku shook off his embarrassment, suddenly remembering what he was about to do.

"Don't worry. I'll catch you if you fall," she reassured.

Izuku had the distinct feeling that she wasn't being that honest with him about that.

'No time like the present, Izuku.' He gulped and slowly walked towards the edge. A million thoughts were whirling through his head at once. 'Oh man, I'm going to have to do this again eventually. And when did the wind get this strong!?'

It was a massive drop all right. The familiar feeling of vertigo set in and the ground got further and further away. Looking back up at Rias, Izuku saw that she was still smiling, no doubt expecting him to jump off the edge at any moment.

'If I mess up here and Rias can't catch me in time…!'

The image of him becoming chunky salsa on the pavement flashed before his eyes. What was he thinking? This was too much. He couldn't do this… He… He…

[Just relax brat. And have faith.]

Izuku nearly shrieked upon hearing the voice. 'Who was that?'

Izuku didn't get his answer. Instead, the words 'have faith' echoed in his head. Those words reminded him that Heroes could be scared like anyone else, but they still kept going.

Izuku took a deep breath and spread his wings. Once he did, he felt his confidence returning with every passing second. 'This is just the first step of many. Besides, Kacchan did once told me to jump off a building. Might as well listen to him for once.'

Izuku glanced at the miniature city below before gazing up at the skyline, gilded by the setting sun. His wings twitch in anticipation.

'Just have faith.'

Izuku leaped into the open air.

He allowed his body to flip as his feet left the platform. For a second, time seemed to slow and the world went silent. For a brief moment, Izuku didn't feel like he was plummeting to the ground.

He was rising.

Then reality set in and Izuku began to fall.

Well, not falling, more like gliding. When he began to flap his wings, he rose somewhat in the air and speed up.

He pulled up, rocketing upwards a second later, sailing past several glass-covered floors. He began to circle Rias, uncaring of the wind now.

Rias watched in a mix of pride and amusement. The grin spreading across Izuku's face could rival All Might's in her opinion.

Izuku himself felt so happy with the wind nipping at his face, the crisp, cool air seeping into his lungs, and the sun shining brightly in the distance. It all just felt… natural.

"WOOOHOOOO!" He cried out.

Rias giggled, following after her servant in his glee. Reaching out, Rias took hold of his hand. Izuku shrieked when she did so, but relaxed when he realized it was Rias. The two smiled at each other, uncaring of the world, as they continued to fly over the faux city.

After what felt like hours they steered themselves back toward the rooftop where they started. Rias landed first, gracefully doing so without much effort. Izuku's landing… wasn't as graceful. When his feet hit the floor he collapsed, landing face-first on the floor.

"Ow…" Izuku groaned, taking calming breaths. 'I need to work on my landings. But that sure was amazing…'

"You okay?" Rias asked, helping him up.

"Y-Yeah," Izuku took her hand and shakily got to his feet, the adrenaline running its course. "That was… Wow…"

Rias giggled. "It's always an experience, your first time."

His brain was too busy replaying the stunt he just pulled for him to comprehend what Rias said. It was electrifying and terrifying, horrible and wonderful all at the same time. It was so tempting to run back up and do it all over again. Being able to fly was simply so amazing.

As it grew dark the two left for home. The goofy smile on Izuku's face nerve left as he walked home. It was only when he entered the apartment that it gave way to a giant blush, finally realizing how long he and Rias were holding hands when they flew.

That night, Izuku and Ibara were having dinner with Inko, listening to the news as they enjoyed katsudon, Izuku's favorite, to celebrate what he did earlier today. As they continued to eat, Ibara's and Izuku's phones began ringing. "What is it?" Inko asked.

"It's some of our friends," Ibara answered.

Jiro: Yo! We're done!

Izuku gaped at what Kyoka had sent.

Midoriya: Really?! Already?

Buchou: There's no way.

That was Rias.

Yaoyorozu: Yes. Come see for yourself.

Uraraka: Come to the beach tomorrow? I'm in!

Ochako suddenly jumped into the conversation. Ibara then added.

Shiozaki: That sounds like a wonderful idea.

Jiro: Yeah :D! We can even have a beach party!

Midoriya: That actually sounds pretty fun, I'm ok with that.

Buchou: I wouldn't mind ;)

Koneko: I'll sit this one out.

Koneko never did like water for some reason.

Yaoyorozu: Just remember your promise, Rias.

Buchou: I'll have to see the beach with my own eyes first before that, Momo.

Jiro: Well, goodnight everyone. See you tomorrow.

Midoriya: Yeah. Good night guys. See you all tomorrow.

Ending the conversation, Izuku and Ibara put away their phones, continuing dinner. "So what was sit about?" Inko asked.

"Oh, that was Yaoyorozu-san and Jiro-san," Izuku answered. "They finished their training, and we're heading for the beach to help celebrate."

"Be careful, and don't forget to text me when you get there," Inko told her son and Ibara as they were about to leave the apartment. It was unusually warm today, making it perfect to go to the beach.

"We will," Izuku responded as he held a duffle bag that had his clothes and some sunscreen. He was wearing a light yellow t-shirt and dark green swim trunks. "Besides, we're just going to the beach with some friends, there's no need to worry."

"I know," Inko said quietly, smiling a bit. "I'm just so happy that you made some friends." Happy couldn't even begin to describe how she was feeling about Izuku becoming more social and getting more friends. "Ibara-chan, be sure to take care of him."

"I will, Inko oba-san," Ibara said, wavering a white one-piece swimsuit with semi-vertical green stripes.

Inko giggled a bit. She couldn't be happier with how things were going for her son now. Ever since he discovered his Quirk, Izuku has been working hard both physically and academically. And the fact that he was meeting new people. She only ever met Rias but was glad that Izuku had met Yuuto, Koneko, Kyoka, Momo, and Ochako. She was happy he was making new friends. Mostly girls as well. If she didn't know better, she would've thought Izuku was building a harem.

"Have fun you two! I'll be sure to have dinner done when you come back!" Inko waved goodbye as Izuku and Ibara left out the door.

When they arrived at the beach, they saw that it was completely clean. Not a single trace of garbage anywhere. "Oh wow," Izuku gasped.

"It looks so pretty!" Ibara said as she looked through the beach.

"They did a good job," Izuku noted.

"I'll say!" Looking behind them, Ibara and Izuku saw Ochako, wearing a bright pink bikini and a short blue wrap. Izuku blushed upon seeing Ochako, getting a jealous glare from Ibara.

Ochako giggled at Izuku's reaction. "Are we the only ones here?"

"Uh, y-yeah. I-It l-looks l-l-like it." Izuku stuttered.

The three began to settle on the white sand, placing down towels and putting on sunscreen. Once they had finished, Ibara and Ochako began to chat while Izuku sat down, waiting for their friends to show up.

The distinct sound of rock music meant they didn't have to wait long. "Sorry, we're late. Momo couldn't find a good swimsuit." Kyoka called out, wearing a yellow bikini with a black choker. She was carrying a radio, playing American rock music. Behind her was Momo, dragging a cooler and wearing a red string bikini with black highlights, which highlighted her rather mature body.

Once again, Izuku blushed upon seeing them. "I-i-it's f-f-fine!" he stuttered, trying his best to ignore Momo's smooth, hourglass figure. It didn't help that her breasts were nearly the same size as Rias', if not a little bigger.

"You guys did an amazing job!" Ochako beamed, either oblivious or uncaring of Izuku's plight. "I barely recognized this place."

"Thanks, but Momo did most of it," Kyoka said. "I just helped."

"You did plenty, Kyoka," Momo said. "So, where's Rias-san?"

"She and Kiba-san said they would be late," Ibara answered. "They should be here soon."

Right on cue…

"Hey, guys!" The friendly voice of Yuuto called. He was wearing a white t-shirt and dark blue swim trunks.

"Kiba-san, hello," Izuku greeted.

"Nice of you to make it, pretty boy," said Kyoka.

"Where's Rias-san?" Momo asked.

Yuuto looked around awkwardly before giving Izuku a concerned look. "She's coming. Just… brace yourself."

"What do you mean?" Izuku asked, confused by Yuuto's statement.

"Sorry for being late."

Izuku and the girls heard the familiar voice of Rias and turned… where Izuku and Kyoka went lava red. Heading towards them was Rias, wearing a very… revealing swimsuit. Both pieces were hot pink with darker highlights. She also had a small bag over her right shoulder and wore sunglasses.

"W-w-w-whoa." Kyoka muttered as her head turned dark red while steam escaped out of Izuku's ears.

Rias, upon seeing Izuku and Kyoka's reactions, smirked and struck a bit of a pose. "Like what you see?" She said, causing Izuku to release steam through his whole body and Kyoka to have a small stream of blood come out of her nose.

"Buchou! Stop!" Ibara yelled, placing her hands over Izuku's eyes.

Rias giggled at Ibara's protectiveness. "Oh, Ibara. I was just teasing. Izu-kun's reactions are so cute that I can't help myself." Rias looked throughout the beach, seeing nothing but clean sand and crystal blue water. "You two really did it."

Yuuto looked impressed too. "Wow, you and Yaoyorozu-san seriously did all this?"

"Yeah, it wasn't easy… at all," Kyoka said remembering the experience entirely. Honestly, she couldn't recall a single day where they weren't sore and/or aching from head to toe.

"I can tell," Ochako poked Kyoka in the arm. "You and Yaoyorozu-san don't look like it, but you're both buffed."

Momo smiled proudly, "Thanks. So, does that mean…?"

Rias nodded. "We'll do the reincarnation later. Right now, let's enjoy the beach!"

"HAI!"

And so the group spent part of the day having fun at the beach. They didn't swim much though since the water was a little too cold. By the time afternoon rolled around, the group was picking up their things. Rias had brought her Evil Pieces, so there was no reason to delay the reincarnation in Momo's eyes. She was a little excited about becoming a devil, to Ibara, Izuku, and Ochako's… surprise.

"Now then, before we can begin, mind explaining your Quirk?" Rias asked.

"Why yes," a Russian matryoshka doll that had some resemblance to her grew out of Momo's hand. "My Quirk is Creation. I can use my lipids to create any nonliving thing I can imagine, so long as I know its molecular and chemical makeup. But I also have another Quirk," her hand was soon surrounded by sparks of electricity. "I can generate and control lightning."

Ochako, with wide eyes, gasped. "…Wow."

"So cool!" Izuku gasped.

Rias nodded. "I can tell that you're very powerful, even if you exaggerated a few details," Momo and Kyoka notably flinched. Reaching into her bag, Rias pulled out a red chest piece. "I say you're most suited as a Queen," she handed the piece to Momo, who graciously accepted it. Momo was then enveloped by a bright crimson glow. Once it died down, two devil wings appeared from her back.

"Whoa! They look good on you, Momo," Kyoka stated.

Momo seemed almost transfixed on her wings, to the point she didn't notice Kyoka's compliment. She snapped out of it when Rias spoke up. "What about you, Kyoka-chan? Interested in becoming a devil?"

"I think I'll pass for now," Kyoka replied. "I'll let you guys know if I change my mind."

"Very well," Rias nodded. The redhead then looked to Ochako. "What about you, Uraraka-san? Interested in becoming my servant?"

"Uh… I'll think about it?" Ochako replied, not really sure how else to answer.

"All right, then let's head over to the club room, Momo-chan. We'll discuss the full details about your abilities there."

"Yes, Buchou."

Later that night, Rias received an urgent message from one of the rulers of the Underworld, reporting that a stray devil had found refuge somewhere in her territory. She had called up everyone in her group to take care of the task at once. The group of young devils teleported in front of an abandoned manor on the outskirts of town. It was old, really old. Mold was covering the walls, windows were shattered, and paint was peeling off. Clearly, it hadn't been taken care of for years, and it was the perfect place for a stray devil to call home. This particular stray devil had been hiding out for several weeks and lured unsuspecting humans to feast on.

"Izu, Ibara, Momo, since this is your first-time stray devil hunting I need the three of you to observe carefully," Rias instructed as they entered the manor. "Watch how your senpai deals with the stray devil. We don't know how much power it's gained over this time so extra caution is needed."

"Right. Lead the way," Izuku nodded. Ibara, who only had the time to learn a couple of defensive spells, stuck close to Izuku.

Rias nodded before she looked to her Rook. "Koneko, if you would be so kind?"

The small girl nodded mutely before stepping forward to the building and opening the door. Well, it be more accurate to say she knocked the door down with one punch.

As the Gremory group moved inside Momo spoke up. "Stray devils are devils who've gone rogue, correct?" Momo asked, sticking close to Rias, being the most recent and inexperienced. "How come?"

"Devils, like everyone else, are all different," Rias explained, the group walking through a large living room with various broken furniture and equipment scattered about. "Therefore their reasons for turning rogue vary. Regardless, devils still do need to survive as humans do, and should they go drunk with power they often turn to humans for sustenance. This is bad for us in two ways; senseless loss of life and risking exposure of the supernatural."

Koneko, who was walking in front, suddenly came to a stop as something came into her nostrils. She sniffed the air quickly and narrowed her eyes. "It's here." At Koneko's words, everyone tensed and began smelling the strong scent of blood mixing into the air that was already filled with the stench of the rotting manor. They were also alerted by the presence of something very iniquitous waiting for them. Large footsteps thundered in the room.

A soft, yet deranged voice then spoke up. "I can smell something disgusting. But I can also smell something delicious. Is it sweet? Or is it sour?"

"Stray Devil Viser," Rias declared, hands on her hips, "You have abandoned your master, allowed your powers to corrupt you, and committed atrocities in the human world. These crimes cannot be overlooked. By order of the Duke of Gremory, surrender or be destroyed!"

Viser laughed and continued to do so as something landed next to the group with a thunk. It was the body of a young woman, at least what was left of it. Only the head and upper torso remain, everything from the elbows down was gone.

"W-what the…?!" Momo gaged, placing a hand over her mouth to keep herself from throwing up. Ibara and Izuku fared somewhat better, after witnessing Freed's handiwork, though they too were still having a hard time to not throw up.

"My, my," purred Viser as she stepped into view. The upper body of a woman moved towards them from the shadows. Topless, the she-devil was floating well above them, her lower body still hidden in the darkness. In her hands were two spears, fresh blood dripping from them. "You sure do talk big, little girl. How about I dye this room blood red just like your hair?"

'Why is she naked?!' Izuku, Ibara, and Momo all thought, Ibara covering Izuku's eyes as they collectively blushed.

And that's when she showed the rest of her body from the darkness and it was nowhere near as beautiful. From her hips downwards she had the body of a lion, with the front legs ending in claw-like hands and a snake-like tail. Her upper body was the epitome of beauty and lust, but she was clearly a hideous monster.

Momo, Ibara, and Izuku bulged their eyes at the horrific sight. This woman was truly twisted, both inside and out. Yuuto, who took note of their faces, chuckled lightly, "This is what happens to a devil whenever they go out of control. Their bodies and minds get twisted and ugly."

"Twisted is right…" Izuku muttered, no longer blushing at the fact Viser was naked.

"Relax, this should be easy," Rias reassured him. "Yuuto." It was both an acknowledgment and an order simultaneously. With a nod, Yuuto blurred out of existence.

Momo gaped in shock. "Wha… Where did he-"

Yuuto reappeared in midair and, with two blades in his hands, dashed through Viser. The she-devil's arms were cut off with ease, and blood spewed out violently, causing her to scream and thrash both in pain and outrage.

"He's fast," Momo said.

"Momo, do you remember that explanation about Evil Pieces I told you about earlier?" Rias asked.

Momo nodded. "Yes. As your Knight, Kiba-san has unparalleled speed. Combine that with his mastery over bladed weapons and he becomes a skilled warrior, most capable in delivering precise, surgical strikes."

"Correct," as Rias said this, the two forelegs of Vizer's beast half were neatly cut at the knees as Kiba reappeared before her, silver longsword clenched in his right hand. Vizer stumbled before rearing up on her hind legs. She tottered unsteadily before rushing forward to stomp on him. Before she could, Koneko rushed forward. Lifting both hands above her as if to ward off the blow, the little girl easily halted Vizer's advance.

"In contrast, Koneko is a Rook. Her traits include both high defensive capability and absolute strength. Because of that, she can shrug off the greatest of blows and then return them with equal force."

Koneko then pushed upwards, forcing the beast further back.

"…Fly."

She then jumped up and delivered an earth-shattering punch to the beastly stomach of the stray's lower half. With a bang, Vizer was sent flying back into a wall, causing dust to start falling from the ceiling.

"Shiozaki-san is your Bishop, who has enhanced magical abilities," Momo continued. "Midoriya-san is your Pawn, who can promote himself to any other piece except for King when in enemy territory."

"And last but not least there's you, my Queen," Rias said. "As Queen, you are the strongest out of all the Evil Pieces and have the traits of the Rook, Knight, and Bishop all combined." Rias then stepped aside. "Would any of you care to have a shot?"

The three newest members all looked to Viser, who seemed to be on the verge of throwing up. "I'm not sure I have it in me," Ibara admitted.

"Me either," said Izuku.

Rias then looked at Momo. The Queen sighed. "I'll give it a shot." With a flick of her wrist, she summoned a bolt of lightning to strike down on Visor. The stray devil screeched in pain as the lightning scorched her body and burnt her flesh.

Momo suddenly blushed for some reason. "Is everything okay, Yaoyorozu-san?" Izuku asked.

"Uh I'm fine," Momo lied, not wanting to admit that she liked hearing Viser's screams. She didn't understand why but it… turned her on.

Rias walked over to the stray devil and stood before her, seeing the burns, cuts, and bruises covering her body. "Any last words?"

Visor slowly looked up at Rias with a glare, "Just… get it over with…"

Rias' eyes turned red as red and black mist engulfed her hands, "Ashes to ashes…" she shot out a stream of pure destruction, engulfing the stray devil on the spot. The blast quickly vanished, and all that remained of Visor was a trench of black soot. "…And dust to dust." The limbs that Yuuto hacked early also disappeared, melting away into icky black goo.

"Wow, so this is how devils do business," Ibara whispered in awe. Izuku couldn't help but nod in agreement. The things devils have to deal with to keep things from going out of control were nothing to scoff out.

"That's all for tonight. Good work everyone," Rias smiled, clapping her hands together. "You may all go home for the evening."

"Hai, Buchou!" everyone answered. A magic circle appeared underneath the group before teleporting all of them out of the room and disappearing.

AN:

EDIT: Did a minor change to when Momo's explaining her powers.

EDIT 2: Did an overhaul on the first part of the chapter.
