Izuku returned to the dorms after his talk with the principal. As he entered the dorm building he heard the tv blaring from the common room.

"The new number 1 hero is currently in a devastating battle with another one of the League Of Villains nomu creatures!" Reported one of the many reporters as they flew over a city whose buildings were being wrecked by the fight between the number 1 and the nomu. Izuku watched it with horror covering his face.

Not because of the damage caused by the fight.

No because of the nomu the number 1 was fighting.

"High-End?" Izuku asked as he walked towards the screen. Looking at the black skinned form as it sent the hero through a building.

His fellow students looked at him with surprise.

"Do you know that nomu Midoribro?" Kirishima asked looking away from the tv for a moment to look at the green haired boy.

"I don't just know it." Izuku began watching as Endeavor blasting High-End with tendrils of flame. Cutting halfway through it's long neck. Making it's head hand limply as it stared at the hero. "I made it."

Everyone there looked at him in shock. Turning away from the screen as it filled with the bright light of Endeavor's flames as blasted the creature with his most powerful move.

"No!" He cried out in fear as High-End's body was reduced to ash. "No, no, no, no, no, no!" Only for it's severed head to quickly heal so that it could send two sharp tendrils at the hero in a sneak attack.

Heavily damaging the left side of the hero's face and likely damaging his eye as well as slamming him into the ground. Making a small impact crater appear in the concrete.

Izuku approached the screen as Eraserhead came into the common room. The greenette twisted around to his teacher.

"Aizawa-Sensei I-I please! I need to save or stop it!" He cried out as tears began to flow from his eyes. "I created it! It should be me who stops High-End." The greenette fell to his knees. "It's my fault Endeavor is hurt and it's my fault those civilians are in danger!" Izuku's emerald eyes looked into his teacher's shocked eyes. "Please I can calm it down! Please!" He pleaded as his voice cracked with effort.

Eraserhead kneeled in front of the boy. "There's no way we could get there in time Midoriya." He said as he looked up from the boy and at the screen. "Besides I don't think Endeavor would let you call it off."

Izuku twisted to look at the screen as Endeavor chased after the nomu. The hero forced more and more flames out of his body as he chased the nomu who soared through the air. Until he eventually caught up to the creature as he used the feathers Hawks had sent to him to boost his speed.

He punched at High-End who caught his fist in it's mouth. The hero forced his flames down the artificial human's throat as he slammed them both into a building.

Before they rebounded off the glass. Making it crack and splinter as they fell towards the earth. But before they did the flame hero roared in rage and blasted the creature with a super condensed blast of pure heat.

Turning the creature to ash.

And making a scream of horror and grief erupt from Izuku.

In the days after the fight between Endeavor and High-End Izuku became reserved. He refused to spend time with anyone.

Just going through the days with a saddened look on his face.

The other students of 1-A tried to cheer him up. Only for Izuku to slam his door in their faces.

While Mei gave him the space he needed. Likely knowing that she wouldn't be able to help him through something like this... or she got caught up in creation of another one of her "babies".

The greenette just sat on his bed glaring at his wall with eyes that were puffy and red from tears as he thought of the nomu. Eventually fading to sleep as he glared at his wall.

Izuku opened his eyes in a black void. His body felt strange nothing like how he felt the other times he was within his quirk.

He tried to move only to hear a clink as a chain on his arm prevented his movement. Emerald eyes looked around his body. Spotting the chains that were wrapped around his body anchoring him to the ground. Or the black mass of mist that was his body.

It was strange he had never manifested within he quirk like this before.

In the distance he could see two people. Both he recognized.

One was his father and the other was... his uncle.

He watched them debate their philosophies. Trying to bring the other over to their side.

Izuku could see the truth in both of their words. His father gave the quirkless the power they desired and took quirks from those who wished to be normal. While his uncle brought up the evil his father had down in his "good".

Izuku had always wondered how One For All was born. He knew how it was made now... and he wished he didn't.

He had thought his uncle wanted the quirk he had been given. It was what his father had told him. That he had given the quirk to his baby brother because the man had wanted to be able to protect himself from quirk supremacist groups.

But in truth his father had forced the stockpiling quirk upon his uncle.

'But why tell me now?'

"I thought you were finally ready." Came his uncle's voice from the shadows. "Finally ready to know the truth."

His frail uncle laid a hand on his bound shoulder. "Now that you know the truth what will you do nephew."

'I don't know.'

"Well only you can decide what to do with this knowledg-" His uncle began only to stop as a tremor passed through him.

The first Akatani Shinichi twisted in pain as his body was torn apart. Turning into white mist with a scream of pain.

"I thought he'd never shut up." A cold voice spoke as the white mist cleared. Revealing eyes that glowed with a baleful purple light as they glared at him through the dark mist that surrounded them. A vicious smile filled with sharklike teeth appeared in the void along with the eyes. "Well it's been awhile Midoriya Izuku." It spoke with no emotion as it glared at him.

Izuku struggled against the chains that restrained him.

"Don't fight now." A cold hand caressed his face in a all too familiar way as the eyes and smile grew closer. "I want to savor what little control over you I have for now." It said it's freezing breath hitting Izuku's face as a second hand joined the first.

'Who... what is this?'

Even though he didn't speak the thing seemed to know what he thought as it spoke once more. "I am everything you could have and should have been." Light burned Izuku's eyes as he slowly woke. "I am your shadow."
