Today was a day off and Izuku was already up and ready to go out the door before the sun had even risen. He had told Inko partially about what happened, enough that allowed the green-haired kid to go to the beach where All Might had told him to go. She also told Hellboy to go with him after yesterday's events. She didn't like the idea of Izuku getting hurt or Hellboy getting into fights and hurting people, but she knew the latter was inevitable and that letting him do what he needs to will help Izuku in not getting hurt.

She quickly made them both breakfast, this time was an American food which was Hellboy's favorite: Pancakes. The first time she made them was after the turtle attack eight years ago, Hellboy had told their mom what happened with them. At first she didn't believe them, but then she saw the scratch that Hellboy hadn't even known he got on his tail. It wasn't bleeding too badly actually, but he said he almost didn't feel it. After knowing that he saved the other children, the other parents even came over and made some things for him. He was pretty happy when all the new people came over and even got to meet Katsuki's mom, who was the one that made the pancakes. At first, he thought the were gross going as far as saying they were "Yucky," but when he ate them he flipped the opinion on that immediately.

They left, Izuku wearing his track suit and Hellboy wearing his stretchy long sleeve shirt with a regular pair of jeans. He had the hole in the back for his tail, and had a belt on, which he didn't need because the tail held his pants up anyways. Izuku just assumed he thought it looked cool, which he wasn't wrong. He wore his black combat boots that were designed specifically for his hooves so he felt like he was walking like normal with them on. He brought his sunglasses and trunks too for when the sun rose a bit. Deku thought he was crazy because it was kind of cold out for swimming still, but he insisted.

Then again, I guess he doesn't feel the cold like anyone else. I mean, he can stand in fire and says he feels mostly normal. So I bet it's the same with cold and ice.

"Hey," Hellboy got Deku's attention, "you're mumbling again man."

Izuku scratched the back of his head with a nervous smile, "O-oh, sorry about that!"

"Speak up next time, that's all." Hellboy began to walk in front of his brother to the beach, "But yeah, it's the same thing."

Izuku smiled again, this time with more warmth than nervousness. He sped up to meet Hellboy at his side.

He looked up at his little brother, looking at his face and how different it was to yesterday. Honestly, he scared even Izuku, he always had at some level, but yesterday was different. He could feel his presence of rage as he moved, like the air around him changed. It was much harder to breath, even if the rage was indirect, he felt a lot of sympathy for the villain. He must have been terrified, he must have felt like his life was on the line right there. Had it not been for All Might stepping in, I think Hellboy might have actually ended his life.

The thought scared him, but he brushed it aside. He only would have because he was a villain. He's no murderer, he's only trying to protect people. Deku then thought about what Hellboy is, because he knew he wasn't human to begin with, he told him that he was actually from Hell, it was the whole reason he was given the name he was given. So it wouldn't be unnatural for him to kill someone, especially if he was a bad guy.

Hellboy noticed Izuku was puzzled, the kid wore his emotions like a coat in the winter. He sighed, and stopped turning to him, "Do you wanna talk about it? About yesterday?"

The older brother was hesitant, but nodded. He looked down, nervous. "I mean, you looked like you were going to kill him. You tore his mouth to bits and looked like you were about to take the rest of him."

Hellboy fished for something from his pocket. He brought out a sucker, he tried using an actual cigarette once but Inko had caught him and grounded him for two whole months. So he instead uses suckers when he's not doing anything. "Yeah, I was."

That didn't make Izuku feel too good.

"Listen, he was trying to kill you and Katsuki. It was either you guys or him, he made that line clear once he grabbed him, and from what you told me, almost killed you." Hellboy stopped and turned to look Izuku in the eyes, "What I did isn't heroic, I get that. But let me make it clear that I'm not trying to be a boy scout, I know I couldn't be. That's your role. That's why All Might chose you to inherit that special gift." Hellboy rubbed his nose, hinting at One for All. "I'm no hero, I know that. All I know is that I want to help people and I don't have it in me to follow all the rules to do it. I had to help you two, he was in the way of that, I took care of it."

Izuku shook his head, "How about a deal then?"

Hellboy smiled with a chuckle, "What do you have in mind?"

"We're going to join UA, right? If we both get in, you have to follow the rules. If I don't get in, you get to be a hero however you want." His brother smiled with the offer, holding his hand out.

Hellboy smiled before taking the hand and giving it a good shake, "You know what, I'll take a piece of that pie."

He began walking again with Izuku smiling right beside him.

"You never said what would happen if I don't get in and you do." the red devil pointed out.

Izuku laughed, "Oh, yeah…" he gave a dramatic pause and nervously threw in, "You... have to get a job as a librarian."

"As if!" The older brother laughed as they headed towards the beach.

When they arrived, All Might was in his muscular form facing where they were coming in from. "HA! SO YOU'VE FINALLY MADE IT YOUNG MIDORIYA! AND HELLBOY TOO?"

Hellboy sat on the steps as Izuku went forward to greet All Might. Hellboy responded, "I'm only here because Mom wanted me to. With what happened yesterday, it made her feel better."

"SHE'S A SMART WOMAN TO HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT!" He looked down at Deku, "Now, to get on with your training."

Hellboy was honestly surprised with how much All Might stacked onto Izuku, he told him that within the short period he had to train for the entrance exams from the High School he had to go through a strict training regiment, eat a specific course of meals throughout it and by the end of the time training to move all the junk from one side of the beach to another side. It was no easy task for the kid. This was over the course of a few months, so it wasn't entirely pressing but it was a lot even still. He had to move tires, scrap metal and even refrigerators! He never missed a single day of training, though at some point in between the beginning and now he began pushing himself a little harder than what All Might had told him to do.

Izuku even went out a little to help Hellboy hunt anything on the scale of a gnome that simply vandalized some of the neighbor's belongings. This resulted in the hero scolding him and Hellboy partially for letting him go out so late at night.

Izuku, however, did eventually get done with it and had a good new set of muscles to show for it.

After the last piece of trash was moved, a huge stove that was much heavier than newer models, he let out a victorious scream. All Might arrived during this scream in his skinny form. He stayed back, allowing the curly-haired boy to have his moment. "Would you look at that, he actually did it."

Hellboy turned to him, "Of course he was going to, he doesn't give up so easily."

"I see that now, young Hellboy. He is everything I could want out of a successor."

"So," the hero turned to the red brother, "That means that you are going to be able to give him your quirk, right?"

"Of course, I meant it with every ounce I have in me Hellboy. For, I see myself in him when I aimed to inherit One for All for myself." Hellboy nodded. His brother finally settled and clambered down to where All Might was.

Hellboy grinned, "Well, would you look at yourself! You look like you could take on the world right now."

His brother spoke through gasps of air, "I feel like I already have."

All Might laughed from his stomach, going from his skinny form to his muscular form. "My boy, you've done well! You've gone from a small boy to what I would call a man in such short of time! Now, I call upon you, Izuku Midoriya, to inherit my quirk, One for All!" He reached to the top of his head, plucked out a strand of his hair, and held it out to Izuku, "Now, eat this!"

Both Hellboy and Izuku stood in silence for a second. Izuku was confused and Hellboy was annoyed.

"If this is you idea of a prank, it's not funny." Hellboy stepped forward.

"This may seem strange to you both, but in order for anyone to inherit One for All, it must be transferred via ingesting DNA."

"Has to get to him somehow, right? I guess that would be the better option than anything else." Hellboy shook his head. "You better not be lying or it won't end well for you."

"I assure you lad, I am completely serious."

Izuku took the strand, watching it dance in the wind as he considered his options. He sighed, opening his mouth. Down the hatch I guess. The hair went in his mouth, and after some time of struggling, he swallowed it.

The Next Day

It was the day of the entrance exams. It was basically just two exams, a paper test and a practical test. Both Izuku and Hellboy were confident in their abilities for the paper exam as Hellboy always is able to follow Izuku in studying, though with a little more struggle than him as Izuku himself is a very bright person. It was the practical exams that worried them. Both of them were concerned with Izuku.

There was no sign that One for All was even transferred to Izuku that morning, he didn't even feel different. Hellboy tried to console him, "Well, you know how All Might has to activate it, right? You probably just have to figure out how to do that." The red brother laughed to himself, "Imagine you being as big as All Might! That's something I'd pay to see."

Deku remembered back to the beach before him and Hellboy left, his teacher had given him some advice on activating One for All, "Flex your muscles, let loose and yell SMASH!"

Both him and his red brother were skeptical about this advice, but they had nothing better to go off of. Deku got his typical track suit on as Hellboy just put on a pair of pants, his belt and his combat shoes. Inko had tried to rule against it, but Hellboy insisted.

"Ma, you know how expensive my shirts are sometimes, I'd rather not rip up any of the shirts I have. And I will if I wear them." His point, to Izuku, was valid. Him being big and red would probably make him a target for anything the school was planning on throwing at them. She didn't like it, but she didn't have a way to protest so she had to allow it.

They started on their way after breakfast, which was still the meals that Izuku needed for his diet plan. Hellboy wasn't benefiting much since his body basically just kept it's muscular shape no matter what he ate. They had to ride the train, which Hellboy was refused due to his size, he was way too tall for the train, so he simply jumped on the top and rode from there. When they got to the high school for the written exam Hellboy was considering what types of enemies they would be encountering for the practical. He knew it would be fun for him, but he was trying to consider his brother in all of it too, hoping they would be easy enough for him.

His brother must have been deep in thought too, because he just about fell flat on his face as they walking through the gates. Hellboy would have been the one to save his face had someone else not done it already. Who saved him was a girl with short brown hair. She was wearing a tracksuit too but also donned a brown jacket due to the cold. Her head came below Hellboy's chest, like a lot of people in the city that didn't have a quirk altering their height. Her face was filled with concern towards Izuku, who was in surprise on how he hadn't hit the ground yet.

"Um, are you okay?" She asked calmly.

The shorter brother stumbled on his words, "U-um y-yeah! I mean, fine. I'm fine."

"You should really watch where you're going, you could get hurt." She didn't say it in a condescending way, but with legitimate concern.

Hellboy stepped in, putting his brother back on his feet, "Yeah, he should. Sorry about that, er-"

She popped up, "Oh, I'm Uraraka Ochako. Nice to meet you two!"

Hellboy nodded, moving his hand forward for a handshake, which she took as firm as she could. To him, it wasn't much. "Hellboy Midoriya, this klutz here is my brother."

The shorter kid added, "I-I'm Izuku Midoriya!"

Her eyes widened, "You two are brothers! I would have never guessed it!"

They were interrupted by another student with blue, short hair and glasses. His face was stern and serious with a capital "S." He wore a higher end tracksuit and shorts that showed off his calves, which had what looked like motors coming from them. His shoes were Wheelies, white and blue like the rest of his outfit.

"Stop your loitering! If you're going to take being a hero as a joke then go somewhere else." He walked off immediately.

Hellboy popped his neck, annoyed at the interruption, "I guess he's right." He sighed.

Deku ignored the kid's comment, "Well, I hope all three of us get in!"

Uraraka smiled with an enthusiastic nod, then turned with the brothers to walk inside the academy walls.

The written exam was pretty simple, Hellboy only got stuck on five questions, but he got through the test. Izuku didn't seem to deterred by the test and finished with relative ease, though second guessed himself a lot during it. They were briefed about the practical exam by a hero he recognized from Izuku's notes as Present Mic, which Hellboy didn't bother listening to entirely. But he did get the important bits of it. They were fighting robots which gave different amounts of points depending on the kind of robot it is, they were told after Izuku began mumbling and was told by the blue-haired boy to be quiet, making a bigger scene than the brother was. There was a single-point, two-point and three-point robot as well as a zero-point robot that the teacher explained was an obstacle, dubbed the 1P, 2P, 3P and Behemoth respectively. It was now time for the practical exam and everyone was placed on the bus. Hellboy, again, was too tall for the mode of transportation, which annoyed him even more. He hopped on the top again, riding in silence as the cold air attempted to lick his face with no avail. It was awkward for Izuku inside because he didn't know anyone on the bus except for Bakugou and Hellboy, and neither of them he could really talk to.

They reached a city that separated the students from it via a gate that not even Hellboy could leap in a single bound. The buses stopped and he waited for his brother to get off the bus. When he did, he saw him staring off in the distance. He tracked his eyes to the girl from earlier, then looked back to his brother's attention being brought to the blue-haired boy that interrupted their little conversation before the first exam.

"You're thinking about talking to her, huh?" He looked at her, then at his brother, "You know, she looks like she's trying to focus. If you're trying to sabotage people in this-"

This time, Hellboy interrupted him, "And looks like you're psyching him out, four-eyes." He hopped off of the bus, landing right next to both of them. "So how about you scram."

The kid was taller than Izuku, but still not taller than Hellboy by any means. He looked up to the red devil, looked right into his eyes and backed off, "Fine," he looked back to Izuku, then to Hellboy again, "but you had better not try anything on anyone, got that? I will be the first to stop you."

Deku took his gaze on Hellboy as the boy turned away. The red brother popped his neck both ways, turning to Izuku with a smile. "Alright, now that he's gone we can get started."

The green-haired brother tilted his head, "What? Don't we have to wait for a signal or something?"

He shrugged, "I didn't hear anything about a bell being rang."

Deku's eyes widened as Hellboy picked his brother up with his left hand and leapt toward the wall, digging his Right Fist of Doom into the wall. He used the grip to launch himself to the top after two more leaps, then launched themselves into the city, where robots could already be seen. Hellboy aimed for a rooftop, which had a 1P robot obliviously standing where he landed. He crushed it with his fist, then rose from his pounce.

The loudspeakers came on, "Those two have the right idea! C'mon, what are you waiting for examinees? GET IN THERE AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Heroes jump into the fray of action without being told!" The hero shouted.

Hellboy pounced to the ground below, letting Izuku off so he could move on his own. A 2P robot, which seemed to resemble a green scorpion, came around and tried smacking Hellboy with its tail, which he grabbed and used it as leverage to chuck it right into a building with enough force to topple the face of the building. "Well, there's three points already!" He turned to his brother who was frantically trying to figure out what was going on in the frenzy. Another robot came around to his brother's backside, another 1P robot. Hellboy got in front of its jab, getting a nice cut in his stomach, which he responded with breaking its arm and yanking it out of himself. He used it to smash the robot's glowing red eye into pieces. "Hey, bro, figure out how to use your quirk so we can both do this!" He remarked with a grin on his face.

The stab didn't slow Hellboy down, a 3P robot went in ramming speed to crush him and his brother. He grabbed his brother, jumped on top of the robot, then ripped out its head, pulling the core wires and even the battery with it.

The other students just started pouring in as another 2P robot approached Hellboy. He slammed the core into the robot, causing a small explosion to tear down the robot's body.

In the control room, the moderators were all glued on Hellboy and his brother. Little did he know that for the times he got his brother out of the way he was earning himself rescue points, already getting him to over twenty points!

"Who is that kid, he's a monster!"

"He just got stabbed and kept moving as if it were just a cut."

"Did you see him bring the building down? Holy moley!"

Back in the arena, Hellboy was occupied tearing down robots like they were paper. Some of the other students commented as the flew by, but he didn't care for them, he was having too much fun! After another 2P and 1P robot were broken down by the red devil, a 3P robot was coming through much faster than the other robot. He threw his brother out of the way before he got rammed into a building. Metal could be heard bending and crunching from the inside as the building over was brought completely down. Hellboy was thrown out on the other side where he landed on his back with a sharp pain in his back.

When a 2P robot tried stabbing his head his horns acted like a shield for his skull. The metal bounced back as his head bounced off the ground, giving him enough time to grab one of the legs of the robots and rip it off. He then kicked the robot on its side, stabbing it with the leg of itself. He finished it by twisting the leg inside the robot. A 1P robot tried smacking Hellboy from his side, but was caught by the Right Fist of Doom. He used his other fist to punch the head of it clean off before tossing it around himself right next to a girl with pink skin and hair and skinny, yellow horns sticking from her head.

She stood before it and him bewildered by this large, red man who seemed to tower over her by almost two feet. "I was gonna help you, but it looks like you've got it handled!" She held out her hand, "Mina Ashido!"

He was about to take the handshake but was distracted by a 1P robot bursting from within the building on the other side of the street. It rushed towards the now-named Mina with its hand already taking the initiative to strike. He stepped between them, punching the robot square in the chest. He misjudged the reach of the robot, as the arm of it sent another strike to the right side of his chest, injecting the metal into him. Hellboy groaned before picking up the robot and slamming it back down into the pavement with enough force to break both apart. The robot couldn't move anymore as wires and oil burst out of any hole it could from the robot.

Hellboy turned back to Mina, grinning back to her, "Name's Hellboy. Nice to meet ya. You okay now?"

She took a deep breath, then gave him a a thumb up towards him with a grin, "Totally! Hope to see you in class!"

He carried on and lifted his own thumb on his rocky hand, looking to group up with his brother again and destroy some robots on the way. Meanwhile in the control room they were still ogling at the spectacle of the kid who was sent through a building and was stabbed in the chest but didn't seem to be fazed by it.

Hellboy strolled through an alley to the street where Izuku was left without him. Once he got to the street, he looked around, finding Izuku further into the street and the practice city. He began his jog to catch up with his brother, who was frantically running trying to figure out how and where to fight.

"Hey, have you figure it out yet?" Hellboy inquired.

Izuku shook his head, with a very desperate look on his face. "No! I haven't been able to find anything to destroy!"

Hellboy cursed, looking around the vacant street littered with only a few pieces and hulls of robots that he either destroyed or another student did for him. He turned back to his brother, nodding towards another alley across the street with his head, "Well, may we can-."

The ground began to rumble before he could finish his suggestion. With the shaking, Hellboy could hear the crumbling of buildings not too far away from them. A large crash sounded throughout the suburban arena, something that was creating smoke from toppling buildings. The brothers looked to each other, "THE ARENA TRAP!"

They turned towards where the robot seemed to be. Much to their dismay it had just crashed into their street, bringing the side of a building thrown in multiple directions with pebbles, rocks and boulders being sent forward and littering the streets further! Smoke filled the area and students began scrambling to retreat. Even through the smoke it was easy to see the robot stood above all the buildings in the area, reaching as far as seven or eight stories tall.

Izuku turned towards Hellboy, who barked, "Hey, bro! We gotta-."

He was interrupted by a scream. Down the street and under one of the aforementioned boulders made from a building was a familiar brunette with a tracksuit. She was stuck between two boulders, one she was laying on top of and another that kept her leg between them. And behind her the arena trap which began its descent through the arena towards her, crushing debris five times the size of what she was stuck between.

The brothers took off into a full sprint towards the robot, pushing past the few students who were running through their street.

The boy with the glasses spotted them running towards the robot, "You're supposed to run away from the robot!" He then caught a glimpse of the girl that was trapped. He was hesitant, But I won't get any points even if I do help her. Best thing to do is to go find more robots… Unless. He gasped and looked towards the brothers who were acting to save another person from danger. Of course!

Hellboy and Deku stopped a couple hundreds of yards away from the robot. Hellboy was at a loss, he knew he couldn't reach her in time and his brother wouldn't be any better off. Deku had a plan though, a risky plan but one he felt in his gut.

"Hellboy, throw me at the robot!"

Hellboy was confused, "WHAT?"

His face remained stern when he balled his hand into a fist and flexing his arm, "Throw me at the robot! Trust me, I can do this!"

Hellboy looked at the options and smiled at the ground, then at his brother, "Alright, I gotcha." He grabbed him with his Right Fist of Doom and pulled him back like a football. "BRING THAT UGLY HUNK'A JUNK DOWN, IZUKU!"

He threw him with all of his strength, launching the green-haired brother towards the arena trap like a missle.

Regret immediately filled Izuku, "WHAT WAS I THINKING? THROW ME AT THE BIG METAL ROBOT, AM I STUPID!" As he approached the robot in the air, the plethora of red, glowing lenses tracking him in the air. "THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO THIS! I-!" As he zeroed in on the robot, he thought about all of his training, inheriting his idol's quirk. One for All.

No. It's now or never! He thought back to All Might's advice.Flex your muscles, let loose and yell…

"SMAAAAAASH!"

A massive shockwave came from within Izuku and out into the world as his fist impacted the robot. It moved like it was made out of air, no, like it was lighter than air! It blasted out of his way in seconds, metal cratering where the fist impacted. It sent a loud boom throughout the entire arena and seemed like it could be heard from the moon! Everyone stopped moving and stared as a small kid, an average middle schooler with no quirk, no power, just destroyed the biggest robot in the arena in a single strike. Silence ensued the strike as no one knew what to do or say. Even the moderators in the control room had no idea what to make of it.

Izuku had flown back and up through the air from the strike, purely astonished as he just destroyed something so big, so monstrous. That is, until he started to fall and felt the surge of pain as his right arm dangled in the air behind him like it was made out of jello. His entire arm was purple and bruised, some of his arm was even cut and bleeding in some places. He was plummeting towards the ground now, Crap, I didn't think this far ahead! What am I going to do now! I'm going to DIE! CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! CRA-

Another bit of pain, on his face this time, but a lot less painful than his arm at the moment. He was sent flying through the air, never hitting the ground once. Instead, he floated just four feet above the ground.

Uraraka had slapped him across the face, using her powers to stop his decent. He then fell to the floor after she placed her fingertips together. Hellboy strolled over, a grin grown over his face. "That was one hell of a catch, girly!"

He grabbed the boulder on top of her, shoving it into the air and into a nearby building. He looked down to find her leg was broken, snapped on her shin. Hellboy whistled, offering her a hand.

"I don't think you're getting up on your own." He remarked.

She took his hand, "No, I'm not." He picked her up, bridal style, except with only holding her with his right hand alone. She managed to groan a "Thank you." which Hellboy just shrugged off with a "No problem."

He walked towards his brother, picking him up with the other hand and laughing as he did. "You may have just broken your arm to shit, but that was one hell of a rescue! Good job, man!"

The bell rang for the end of the practical exam as Microphone exclaimed, "I hope you got all the points you needed because the exam is OVEEER!"

The red brother cursed, beginning his stride towards the entrance of the arena.

Deku looked up, realizing one thing about the exam. "I DIDN'T GET ANY POINTS!"
