~IZUKU-SHOPPING MALL~

After class was let out the next day, except Todoroki and Kacchan, went to the mall to go shopping.

Everyone ran off leaving me and Uraraka.

But…

Then she ran off.

Crap… I'm alone… I hate this kind of stuff…

"Kuroshi…" I recognized that voice anywhere, Shigaraki placed his arm on my shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Figured I could see how things are going, our plan will be set in motion soon…"

THAT'S RIGHT!!! Father should be back soon.

"Make sure you're careful… I don't want any of you to mess up," I told him, "But I'd be careful… I'm here with my class so…"

"Izuku…"

Crap, Uraraka…

"It that a friend… Wait… no… that can't be…"

I stood up and began awkwardly walking with Uraraka away from Shigaraki, "What were you… What are you doing?"

"Oh yeah… You're with friends huh? Alright…" Shigaraki began walking away.

"Who was that?" Uraraka asked me.

"Remember the USJ incident…" What am I saying… "That's Shigaraki…"

"KUROSHI!!!" Iida came running down, "I just saw from the second floor… Was that?"

"Yeah…" I sighed.

"You're kidding, in a public-" He caught himself.

"What is it, Iida?" Uraraka asked.

"Nothing," He sighed, "Let's go and report this…"

"You guys go on ahead…" I told them only to have Uraraka grab my hand, "No, he came up to you Izuku… You're coming with us!"

What the…

"Fine…"

Afterward, the police closed the mall and I was taken to the police station. Iida and Uraraka tagged along since they witnessed.

We talked to the officer who was investigating the league of villains.

Soon after All Might met me and Tsukauchi in an Ally behind the station but I just ran off.

What am I supposed to say to him?! I can't tell them about their plan… Father will, no…

But… I wonder...is everyone going to be here?

~NEXT DAY~

I stayed away from the base that night…

I was surprised when Mineta and Kaminari approached me while I was running and asked if I wanted to go to the school's pool to train. First thought, These two… the girls better not be involved…

We stopped by the school and received permission. Maybe these two didn't do something bad?

But nope… as soon as I walked out the door the girls were there…

I was right to invite the others…

We all started training until Iida suggested a break, I wasn't tired or anything I just agreed since it would be nice.

He handed me an orange juice and sat down.

"It's strange… Before I didn't expect to be friends with you…" Iida looked at me, "Even so, I still don't know much about you. No one does, you're a mystery to all of us Kuroshi."

"I realize that. Still, there's not much I can do though," I sighed.

"You're very strong and you've proven that many times before, pardon my curiosity… but why do go back?" Iida asked.

"I guess… It's because…" I thought for a moment, "I need to become stronger, I can't let them see me as weak."

"They think you're weak?" He asked.

"Well… It's hard to explain…" I stood up, "I guess I'm just docile towards them, I'm not too obedient but I do my best to help you all out even if they're against it."

"I see…"

In the end, we ended up racing each other to see who could swim the fastest.

Soon after Todoroki approached Iida and me, "Kuroshi, Iida, What were you talking about earlier?"

"Oh… just about… them…" I sighed.

"Oh, sorry for asking," Todoroki apologized.

"No no! It's alright!" I honestly told him, "I'm just not sure about the summer camp…" I muttered.

"What?" Iida asked.

"NOTHING!!!" I warped out of there and by the boardwalk that overlooked the ocean.

I don't know why I brought that up!?!

"Eh… Izuku?"

I jumped, "All Might!?" I took a breath, "I can't get away from anyone today, can I….?"

"I'm not sure what you mean but, I wish you luck at the summer camp," He told me.

"Right…" I warped out and back to the base.

"IZUKU!!!!!!" I was tackled by Toga, "Izuku! Izuku! Izuku! You're back!!!! I missed you!!!"

"GET OF ME TOGA!!!!" I screamed pushing her away.

She pouted and sat down, "Fine… You're just not around here a lot anymore…"

"Yeah, I realize that… I'm sorry Toga," I sighed.

Geez… This girl is crazy!

"Anyway… About the attack during the summer camp. I was-" I got interrupted by Shigaraki.

"Yes, everyone is going to be there!" He yelled at me.

"How did you-" Again interrupted.

"I TOLD YOU I BEEN FOLLOWING YOU!!!!" He was really mad for some reason, "GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD ALREADY, YOU DAMNED BRAT!!!"

What's his problem today…

"Toga, can you yell at Shi-" Why is everyone interrupting me today!

"Tomura!!! Stop yelling at Izuku!!!" She yelled.

"YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH TOGA!!!" He screamed.

"I will cut you!!!" She threatened.

"Like that even-" Shigaraki was interrupted.

"I WOULD ADVISE YOU STOP THIS NONSENSE AT ONCE!!!" All for One yelled over the TV, "I'll be back soon, so this mess had better be straightened out by then!"

"Yes, Sensei!" Said everyone but me.

"Understand, son?" My father said very agitatedly.

I sighed, "Yeah…"

I went to my room and got packed for the camp, not as I needed to but who cares… I hid my blades in my costume and grabbed my mask.

I didn't like the fact everyone was going to be joining us because… well… they don't know I'm attending UA… they could give me away…

Dabi, Toga, Muscular, Mustard, Magne, Spinner, Moonfish, Twice, Compress, and the chainsaw nomu…

Twice I was ok with… He really isn't all that bad.

~NEXT DAY - AT UA~

"Izuku!!! It's finally time for the training camp in the woods!" Uraraka ran up to me.

"Yeah…" I sighed.

What if she knew? What if everyone knew… They might find out soon after all…

"What's the matter?" Uraraka asked me then after turning pick she ran off and started dancing around with Mina and Kaminari.

What the hell was that?

"There are people in class A taking extra classes!? SO THAT MEANS SOME OF THEM FAILED!!!" Monoma was laughing, "Even though they're supposed to be better than-"

"SHUT UP MONOMA!!!!" I yelled at him as I darted in front of him, "I TOLD YOU BEFORE, USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN TO HELP OTHERS!!!! YOU DAMNED ASSHOLE!!!!"

"eh," He stopped as I walked back to my class group.

Kendo dragged Monoma onto their bus.

We all got on our bus and regardless of what Iida said to do… I sat in the very back.

"Kuroshi?" Sero turned back over his seat to face me, "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah… You've seemed kind if down as of late," Ojiro stated.

I looked at them then out the window, "Hey… can I ask you guys something?"

"Sure," They both said.

"Does family background matter to you?" I asked looking at the road.

That made them think.

"I don't really see a problem if they want to be a hero, even if they come from a bad family, I don't think it matters," Sero said, "If they want to help others, let them!" He smiled.

"I agree, the family background doesn't matter, However…" Ojiro paused, "Why would you ask a question like that?"

"You...No… actually Everyone… Will most likely find out soon," I sighed.

"Kuroshi, do you come from a family like that?" Ojiro asked me.

I smiled, "You could say that, Although… My situation is worse."

"You don't need to talk about if you don't want to Kuroshi," Sero added, "We're your friends, after all, you're cool."

Are you really… no one even knows me… what I've done… Well, I'm certain All Might know about the murder…

"Thank you… Both of you…" I sighed and cut off the conversation.

~BUS STOP~

"Finally, taking a break!" Uraraka walked up to me.

"But where's class B?" I questioned.

Aizawa began to speak over everyone, "No point in stopping without reason. Please join us."

The car that was also there opened up and two girls jumped out, "WILD, WILD PUSSYCATS!!!"

"These are the pro heroes who will be working with us during the camp, the Pussycats," Aizawa told us, "Greet them, everyone."

"Nice to meet you!" We all shouted.

There was this little boy with a red cap with two spikes, horns. He didn't seem very happy, in fact, he looked mad.

"We own this whole stretch of land there. You will be staying at the foot of the mountain," Mandalay pointed.

"Then why did we stop here?" Uraraka asked.

Then everyone around me got nervous.

"It's 9:30 a.m. right now. If you're fast, maybe around noon?" Mandalay stated.

~TODOROKI~

I watched as everyone ran to the bus. Everyone excluding me and Kuroshi.

"Kitties who don't make it by 12:30 won't get any lunch!" Mandalay laughed.

I watched him then he vanished. If he's going now then-!

"Sorry, training camp begins now!" Aizawa yelled.

Pixie-Bob used her quirk to lift the earth and throw us all over the side. We had to escape her and get to camp before 12:30.

~IZUKU~

I ran before hearing the pounding of the ground behind me. Seeing the fire and ice from Todoroki and explosions from Kacchan. I was far enough ahead I don't think Pixie-Bob noticed me vanish. So I decided to become visible once again. I don't like using multiple quirks at once because, unlike my father, I become tired after using many at the same time.

Using One For All I jumped through the trees and rushed through the forest as fast as I could. Looking behind seeing her beasts take to the skies.

Has she noticed me yet?

I could see Tsu and Uraraka throwing a few of them into the air. Teamwork, our class is good at this. Well… them, no so much me.

Then I arrived at the campsite at the foot of the mountain.

No one is here yet… hmm, Well I'm certain the rest of the class won't get here so fast.

I waited around until Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, Aizawa, and that kid arrived at the site.

"Hey! You guys are finally here!" I laughed.

"When did you-?" I interrupted Mandalay, "I noticed something was off and figured it was a test. So, I darted off. Turns out," I warped next them, startling them a bit, "I was right."

"We might be here for a while," Aizawa said, "Why not look around the area Kuroshi?"

I nodded and headed off until I noticed my class was getting closer.

~5:20 P.M.~

"You're all finally here!" Pixie-Bob stated.

"That took quite a while," Mandalay pointed out.

We watched every stumble out of the forest. I was on the roof of the building completely fine, while everyone was all torn up.

"WHAT DID YOU MEAN 3 HOURS!!!" They all yelled.

"That's the time it would have taken us, sorry!" Pixie-Bob laughed, "But your friend here," She pointed to me on the roof, "Got here in less than an hour, and I didnt even realize he had gone!"

Everyone looked at me.

"Honestly, I thought it would take even longer for all of you," Pixie said, "You didn't have as hard of time-fighting my monsters as I thought you would." She signaled me down, so I jumped on down.

"All of you were great, especially you four!" Pixie pointed at me, then at Todoroki, Iida, and Kacchan. "You all acted without hesitation, I noticed that in the beginning," She pointed at Todoroki, "You were glancing around, all calm. You didn't seem to be caught off guard either, either way, you all impressed me!"

"Can I ask a question Mandalay?" I looked at her.

"What is it, Kuroshi?" She smiled.

"Who is this?" I pointed at the young boy.

"Oh, this is Kota. He's the son of my cousin," She told me, "He'll be with us for the week you'll be staying here."

I looked at Kota and he had this kind of death glare at me, and everyone else.

"I don't intend to hang out with guys who want to become heros!" Kota walked away.

What, who are this kid's parents?

"Everyone get your stuff off the bus and put it in your rooms. Then meet us in the cafeteria," Aizawa told us.

I had already got my stuff though so I walked inside.

We all ate and soon after we went to our separate baths. Girls in girls, boys in boys.

Mineta was being a pervert, like normal… So I walked up to him and kicked him into the water. The boiling hot water.

"Kota was that Kuroshi?! Tell him thanks!!" I heard Mina yell over the wall and the next thing I knew, I had Kota falling onto my head.

So I took him to see Mandalay, "Seems he just fainted, thank you."

"I'm glad he's ok but… may I ask you something?" I looked at her.

"What is it?" She questioned.

"About Kota… He has a negative overview of heros, doesn't he? But I can tell just by looking at him… he isn't a villainous child," I said looking away from her.

"Ah… Actually, I wondered if you would bring this up," I looked back at her, "Aizawa told us that you're from a family of villains so your situation is difficult. So I figured you might understand."

"Kotas parents were heros too," Pixie walked in the room, upset, "But we're both killed during duty."

"Two years ago, protecting citizens from a villain… but Kota… didn't fare well with that…" Mandalay explained, "'My parents left me behind,' Is what he said, but even so, the society kept praising them…"

"I understand… there are many opinions in this world and no one is able to say which is right or wrong… And for Kota, it's the same," I said.

~5:30 A.M.~

"Good morning. Everyone today we will begin the training camp. The goal of this is to increase everyone's strength," Aizawa explained, "We'll be working on improving your quirks."

And with that everyone began training which, for most, was utter hell.

"Aizawa?" I walked up to him.

"Right, Kuroshi, Since your quirk is much different than everyone else… What puts the most strain on you?" Aizawa asked me.

"Using multiple quirks for long periods of time. More I use the more stamina it takes up," I told him.

"Alright, then work on using your quirk like that, although keep your distance from the group like everyone else. You're good at controlling your quirk, but it's dangerous," He told me and I nodded.

I walked a bit farther away from everyone and began my hell.

~MANDALAY~

"Aizawa, you neglected to tell us Kuroshi's quirk, what is it?" I asked.

"His quirk is Absorption, it allows him to duplicate and stockpile quirks from those he touches," Aizawa told me, "It's a very powerful quirk, and it's very dangerous. Not to mention the kid's background, he can be pretty violent at times."

"I spoke with him yesterday after he caught Kota and he seemed like a nice kid," I told him.

"He is but there are times when he seems to lose himself, I'm sure you'll notice it at some point," He told me.

"Is there anyone in the class who knows his background?" I questioned.

"Todoroki and Iida, All Might allowed that he tell them since they had the run in with Stain back in Hosu," Aizawa explained.

"That makes sense," I said.

I watched Kuroshi from across the field, he was quite a ways away from everyone and he almost looked worried. He was breathing heavily and released quirks one after another, stacking them atop one another. Soon after about maybe 20 quirks, he fell to the ground.

That must be a lot of strain.

~IZUKU~

My… head hurts… a lot… ow

I was on the ground struggling to get up, I had released 21 quirks then had to cancel them. It's too much on me.

"Kuroshi!! Get back on your feet!!" Aizawa yelled.

~MANDALAY~

Aizawa yelled at him when he stood up, almost as he hadn't used any stamina at all. He was facing the ground than in an instant darted his head up and stared Aizawa in the eyes.

His cold, rage-filled eyes sent shivers down my spine.

"I told you, look at him. You tell him off once and he snaps," Aizawa told me.

"Kuroshi calm down! It's alright!" A girl with brown hair noticed and ran to him, "It's just training, why are you so mad?"

"Uraraka…" Aizawa went to walk to them but I stopped him, "Does she know?"

"No, she doesn't…" He sighed.

I watched Kuroshi basically pop back to his calm state of mind. His eyes went from cold straight to confuse and childlike.

He was completely different…

"I can't believe it, you're right…" I was amazed by this boy.

"So far the ones I know who can calm him down are All Might, Uraraka, Todoroki, and Iida. Well, sometimes others can too. But when he really changes…" Aizawa stopped.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing," He said, "Kuroshi is very strong, you will never see him show weakness, unless unavoidable. Yes, he may get tired or hurt but no matter what situation he is in… he will fight even if it costs him his life…"

"I didn't want to ask him but, he's covered in scars, and his eye… did his family-" I was interrupted by Aizawa, "They abuse him so he will listen… Almost every week the scaring gets worse… and the times he fights back against them… it's almost terrifying to see."

Soon enough class B, Ragdoll, and Tiger arrived.

~IZUKU~

Looks like everyone is here, shit…

Tiger got in front of me, "Hit me with what you've got!"

"Tiger I wouldn't-" Aizawa tried to step in but…

I stopped what I was doing activated One for All in a split moment, vanished, warped behind Tiger, and punched him in the back just enough to send him a few feet. So not very strong, I became visible and laughed.

"What was that!?" Tiger yelled.

"I tried to warn you, Tiger…" Aizawa told him.

I laughed, "Sorry!! Haha!! I thought I'd surprise you!" I stopped and looked at the forest, "Eh…"

Kota… hmm…

"Kuroshi, come over here! Tiger helps them out," Aizawa told us.

I walked over to Aizawa and Ragdoll, "This is Kuroshi."

"Oh, so he's the boy…" Ragdoll looked at me, "You're strong alright!"

~LATER~

We all had to make our own food, curry. Everyone was so tired and my head fucking hurt like hell.

Soon we were able to eat and I noticed Kota wasn't here.

I saw him walking away so I decided to follow him and bring him something to eat.

He was more than a bit mad…

"I told you I did not intend to hang out with you, leave!" He yelled at me, "Everyone getting together to improve… it's gross. You want to show off that badly!?"

"Mandalay told me about your parents, I understand where you're coming from Kota. More than you know…" I sighed, "But she didn't tell me who they are but I know. They're Water Hose."

Kota looked at me, "Shut up… Everyone crazy, calling each other stupid names like, 'Hero, and 'Villain' and killing each other…"

My heart raced, What I did probably was stupid…

"Talking about quirks and stuff…" Kota was upset, "It's because they're all showing off… and you're no better!!! The fact you show off how strong and smart you are, it makes me sick!!!"

"Fine… I'll leave…" I walked away.

~NEXT DAY~

Everything was the same… the same hell of a training session…

We have informed the other teachers wouldn't be showing up like that makes a difference.

"TONIGHT WE WILL HAVE A TEST OF COURAGE WITH BOTH CLASSES!!!" Pixie yelled.

Geez… They should all be here by now… DAMN IT!!! What am I gonna do!!!???

~LATER THAT NIGHT~

When the test began I was so annoyed… I was waiting for so long then I noticed it, the smoke over the forest.

Dabi… it's begun…

I stood there and watched the smoke rise from the trees and ever so slightly my eyes filled with terror and a small smile grew on my face.

Spinner… Magne…

I looked over at them as Magne flew Pixie over to them and threw her on the ground.

"Pixie…" I started to walk forward Mandalay put her hand on my shoulder, "No…"

"Kota…" I looked at the ground and laughed, "Haha… What am I…" My eyes full of terror and my face full of delight I screamed into the starry dark violet sky, as the smoke flew higher my mind fell back into the depths of fear...

"WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?!?!?!!!"

HEY EVERYONE!!! FREAKING HAD TWO DAYS OFF SCHOOL THIS WEEK AND WE ONLY HAD THREE DAHS THANKS TO EXAMS SO WE ONLY HAD TUESDAY WE WERE AT SCHOOL. PERFECT TIME TO WRITE!!!! HERES A LONGER CHAPTER FOR THE WAIT.
