Izuku-
"Hey, how are you?" I asked Kyoka as she walked out of the gates.
"It's been a day, Aizawa and All Might sensei had us doing all these weird exercises," she complained.
"Heh, well anything interesting?" I asked.
"Well, someone found out All Might's name is Toshinori Yagi," she said.
"Toshinori Yagi-Palace Confirmed," my phone went off with the MetaNav app.
"Huh? What's that?" Kyoka asked.
"Um, well, nothing important," I said. What the hell!? All Might has a frickin Palace? I thought.
"Yeah, you do know that I can tell when you lie," she said, holding a jack level with my eyes.
"This doesn't involve just me," I sighed.
"Fine, so you talk to the people who it does involve and then you tell me," she said, with a grin.
"We'll see, so where do you want to go?"
"Hmm, let's go to the movies."
"All right, but let's watch a scary movie," I said.
"No," she said.
"Why not?" I asked, feigning innocence.
"You know the fuck why," she said.
"Alright," I said. We went to the theater and when we got there I set my bag on my lap.
"So, we are going to talk to the others about All Might's Palace later right?" Morgana asked from his place in my bag. I looked at the cat and gave him a slight glare.
"Did you bring Morgana with you?" Kyoka asked, she only heard him meow.
"It doesn't feel normal to not have him in my bag anymore, and don't complain you love him," I said.
"I will not confirm nor deny that," she said, taking my bag and petting him.
"Ha, I think your girlfriends like me more than you," Morgana said.
"Shut up," I said. We watched the movie and when it was over I walked her back to UA where she was living in the dorms. I then quickly sent a message to the other Thieves and told them to meet up with me in my room above LeBlanc, our hideout.
Location Change-LeBlanc Attic
"Alright, so what is this about?" Yusuke asked.
"I think I have an idea," Futaba said, from her position leaning on me while we were on the couch with Morgana on her lap while she was petting him.
"I'm guessing you were listening to what happened?"
"Yeah, sorry but I'm always listening or recording."
"Eh, I'm used to it now. However, this is about a new Palace I've discovered."
"Oh, who's?" Ryuji asked.
"All Might's," I said.
"What the crap?" Makoto asked.
"You're joking right? The symbol of peace has a palace?" Ann asked.
"W-what?" Haru asked.
"Sadly it's true, I have an idea on why and what it might be," I said.
"I-I don't think I want to deal with this, after the last few I think I'm done being a Phantom Thief," Haru said.
"Alright, that's up to you but just know that if you ever want back then just let us know," I said.
"Thanks, I'll take my leave now," she said, walking out.
"Well, I guess now I can bring up my next issue, Kyoka heard the MetaNav and wants to know what it was about."
"Well, if she finds out she finds out, but I don't think we should just tell her," Futaba said.
"Alright, so I think the place is UA and he sees it as a boot camp," I said.
"UA confirmed-Boot Camp confirmed-Destination confirmed," MetaNav said from my phone.
"Damn, well, I guess it's time to make him change his heart," Ryuji said.
"I say we enter tomorrow," I said.
"We'll follow your orders Joker," Morgana said.
Time Change- Next Day- Location Change- UA Gates
"Well, let's go," I said, activating the MetaNav, we all went through and changed into Phantom Thieves.
"What the crap is this place?" a voice that we all recognize asked.
"Kyoka, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Izuku? What are you wearing? I saw you guys at the gates and went to say hi but then we just went to this place. What is that thing?" she asked, pointing at Mona.
"Ugh, well you said that if she finds out she finds out," I said, looking at Oracle.
"I knew this would happen," she said. "Welcome to the gang," she added, giving Kyoka a huge hug.
"F-Futaba?" she asked.
"Yep, but in this form we call me Oracle, we go by code names."
"I'm Joker," I said.
"Mona."
"Skull."
"Panther."
"I am Fox."
"Queen."
"This is a lot to take in, so what is this place? Who are you?"
"We are the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. This place is called a Palace. We have what are called Persona's and we fight shadows of the real people whose palace this is," Mona explained.
"So, whose is this?"
"This is All Might's," I said.
"What? You have got to be kidding me," she said.
"Sadly no."
"Well, since you're here you can join us, just know that your quirk won't work here," Futaba said.
"Alright," she said.
We walked through gates and saw a bunch of students running by in green tank-tops and shorts.
"Is this how he sees this place?"
"Yep, for him it's a boot camp to make his version of heroes, ones who have strong quirks," I said, not hiding my distaste for his ideology.
"Why do you make it sound like you know him?" Panther asked.
"We met once, let's just say don't place too much faith in your idols, they most often aren't what you expect."
"Hey, you what are you doing," a voice called out.
"Crap," Kyoka said.
"Hey, let go of her," I said, as I turned to see her being held by a drill sergeant.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" a voice that anyone would recognize. "You should be training, if you want to be a hero then you have to train your quirk," All Might said.
"What, no. That's not what matters," Kyoka said.
"Oh, well then beat me," he declared.
"Guys, get her now," I yelled.
"Captain Kidd!" Skull yelled, summoning his persona.
"Johanna!" Queen yelled, summoning her bike.
Skull attacked the soldiers while Queen grabbed Kyoka.
"Oh, you won't get away that easily, Detroit Smash!" All Might yelled, sending an air wave towards Kyoka and Queen.
"No!" Kyoka yelled as a wave of energy surged from her, one we all recognized. We watched as she landed and looked up with a mask that covered her eyes. It was black and had the tear drops that were on her hero costume. "Ahhh," she yelled, ripping the mask off. We watched as a persona appeared behind her dressed in a black marching band uniform only with chains floating around it. "Chemical Romance!"
"You knew this was going to happen, didn't you?" I asked Oracle.
"There was a very good possibility of it happening but I wasn't certain."
"I love you."
"What the crap? So you aren't a hero but one of these villains? All right, men kill them," All Might's Shadow commanded the soldiers. They both transformed into Heavenly Punishers.
"Persona!" I shouted, summoning my High Pixie. We fought them and eventually we got into a hold up. "All out attack!" I commanded. We then all went in and finished them off.
"Argh, this doesn't change anything," All Might said, jumping off in the distance.
"What the crap was that, what the crap am I wearing?" Kyoka asked.
"Um, well that was your persona and I guess I should say welcome to the Phantom Thieves," I said. "Let's pull out for now and meet up at the hideout," I said. We all left the Metaverse and made our way to LeBlanc.
"Hey there Izuku, um, why is Kyoka with you guys?" Sojiro asked.
"She found out," I sighed.
"Heh, I'll make you guys some coffee," he said, snickering to himself.
"So," Kyoka started, after we had all sat down in my room, she sat next to me on the couch and Futaba was on my other side. "You guys are the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?"
"Yes, and let me actually introduce myself," Morgana said, hopping onto the table from Futaba's lap.
"Wait, you can talk?" Kyoka exclaimed.
"Yes, only you guys can hear me however," Morgana said. "But I am human, I just lost my true form. I think."
"So I was petting a person?" Kyoka asked.
"Eh, we all do it and he doesn't mind," Futaba said.
"That is true," Morgana added.
"Well, I guess we need to come up with a name for you, and no not your hero name," I said.
"Well, she looked like a punk rocker," Ryuji said.
"I know, Punk," Morgana said.
"Well, I can get down with that, but why use codenames?" Kyoka asked.
"We don't know what would happen to the person if their shadow heard our names so we don't want to take any chances," I said.
"And the only reason I know is because they had to change Futaba's heart, here's some coffee and curry," Sojiro said, walking up.
"Um, can he hear, um" Kyoka asked, pointing at Morgana.
"Heh, no but I trust that they wouldn't lie to me," Sojiro said, laughing.
"Wait, why did they have to change your heart?" Kyoka asked, slightly glaring at Futaba.
"Oh, um, well, I didn't really like what I was doing. I asked them if they could help me. I was at a dark moment, they helped me learn who I was and who I wanted to be. I guess seeing how Izu didn't really ask who I was or why I needed help and just did, made me fall for him," Futaba said, blushing and trying to hide in her coat.
"Well, then I say it was a good thing then," Kyoka said, crawling over me and giving Futaba a kiss on the cheek, causing her to try to hide her now even redder face. Everyone had a good laugh at that.
Time Change-Now Location-Interrogation Room
"So, you're telling us that a hero student at UA is a Phantom Thief?" Eraser asked.
"Yep, didn't think anything could get past you, did you?" I said.
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because, he's telling the truth," Sae said.
"Your quirk would know that," I said.
"H-how do you know my quirk?"
"Well, Queen's isn't too different," I said.
"What are you talking about?" Eraser asked.
"Simple, her quirk allows her to, how would you put it, make those who lie to you feel the pain. Or at least that's what Queen's does, but yours just gives them a very noticeable tell," I said, staring her in the eyes.
"Wait, no, she can't be one," Sae said.
"Who?"
"Oh, no one of much importance right now," I said.
"Fine, so you allowed your girlfriend to join. What next?"
"Simple, we walked around, but the kicker was when a new face also joined. Your oh so great young detective who could do no wrong," I said, as her quirk made my voice change.
"That was his tell, are you telling us that Goro Akechi is one of you?"
"No, he's a traitor, and I need you to show him this if he passes you on your way out, because I think your time is up by my count," I said, handing them my phone with the MetaNav opened. "Just trust me and your family and students and all will be right. You might even get to hear the whole story then," I said, emphasizing those words.
A guard walked in and told them their time was up. I watched as they left with my phone and I smiled. The guard left and a few minutes later I felt myself enter the Metaverse. I left a copy of myself there and hurried out. I then recovered Sae's treasure and exited the Metaverse. I met up with Eraserhead and Sae by the point where they were told to pick me up. We went to LeBlanc and everyone was in the restaurant and as we all walked in with them supporting me the news announced that the leader of the Phantom Thieves was dead, a suicide discovered by none other than Goro Akechi.
"Izu!" Kyouka exclaimed, running up to give me a huge hug. "Thank you Mr. Aizawa for listening to me," she added, looking at him.
"Well, it certainly helped that Sae's sister also messaged her at the same time that he was going to meet us there and to take him here. So, is this all of the Phantom Thieves?"
"Yes, and thanks sis," Makoto said.
"Well, I can admit that my heart has changed. But now I know why," she said, giving her sister a hug.
"Why are you so beat up?" Futaba asked, joining Kyoka and my hug.
"Well, let's just say that they did their worst, but I survived," I said, smiling.
"Seriously kid, what's your quirk?"
"I honestly don't have one, ask anyone here, ask All Might, ask my mom, ask Bakugo about me," I said.
"I guess I'll just have to believe you."
"So, what's next?" Yusuke asked.
"Next, we take down Goro and the people he works for. Then, we make this world a safe place for everyone," I said.
AN-
So, is this where the flashbacks end? No, they will play a major part of the story, and will Shota and Sae help them? Perhaps, I haven't decided yet. Now let's get to more about the story I do know about. I know that I will tell about them going through at least four Palaces one of which is All Might's, and no Shido isn't the big bad this time. As always follow and favorite!
