Chapter 5
It's been a week since Izuku and Ochako meet each other and their friendship is slightly awkward, mainly for Izuku as he's not used to having a friend for a long time. Currently, Izuku is walking through the park by himself since Ochako is busy with a couple of her friends in town and currently looking through the news on his phone.
"Hmmm, no new updates on All Might..." Izuku muttered as he looked through a web page dedicated to the number one hero, All Might.
"Makes sense though, even the number one hero will need to take breaks once in a while." Izuku muttered again before looking at an article.
"No news on All Might's Quirk." Izuku thought, staring at the article. Even though All Might is the number one hero, practically no one knows about the true nature of his Quirk. The only thing that people knows about All Might's Quirk is that it's seems to be an enhancement Quirk, increasing his strength.
Izuku has a hunch that Rin may know something about All Might's Quirk, remembering once how he asked her about any possible names for All Might's Quirk and the only answer he got was "It's like a flame, always burning bright." This made Izuku confused as he doesn't understand what she meant.
The dark green hair boy was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't realizing that someone is charging right towards him.
"Gah!" Izuku exclaimed as he felt the person ripping the back from his back.
"Ha! Thanks for the bag, Loser!" The person shouted as Izuku regained his balance.
"H-hey! Give me by bag back!" Izuku shouted before running after him, slipping his phone into his coat pocket.
"Should I use my Quirk? I know that I'm not supposed to use my Quirk in public, but this is an emergency, right?" Izuku thought as he chase after the bag snatcher. It was then that he realized something.
"Hey. Isn't that the villain that escaped from the heroes." Izuku thought, remembering the villain that was seen on the news last week.
"His Quirk is Drill, I wrote it down in my note-book." Izuku thought, becoming excited slightly that he can use is knowledge for good use. The villain glanced over his shoulder to see Izuku chasing after him.
"Tch. Your persistent, aren't you." The villain muttered under his breath as he continues to run. Izuku followed the villain until he found himself the dense tree area of the park. The villain suddenly stopped and turned around. Izuku's eyes widen when he saw the villain raising his free arm which air started to circulate around before starting to spin quickly, forming a drill.
"So, my theory was right. he can focus his Quirk on different parts of body." Izuku thought before realizing that he's running straight into danger.
"Die!" The villain exclaimed as he prepared to punch Izuku when he got close enough.
"This is bad! This is bad!" Izuku thought in his head, starting to panic as he thought of transforming, hoping that the scales with be durable enough to keep him alive.
However, before Izuku could activate his Quirk, someone shouted behind him.
"Texas smash!" the voice shouted and suddenly a huge wind pressure is felt, causing Izuku to be propelled forwards whilst the villain was sent flying backwards.
However, Izuku was more focused on the voice.
"That's...All Might's voice!" Izuku exclaimed in his head before crashing into the villain, hitting the drill Quirk user right in the skull and getting the two of them knocked out.
When Izuku regained conciseness, he felt disorientated.
"Er, what happened to me?" Izuku muttered as he sat up on the bench that he's been laying on.
"You kind of crash into the villain's skull, causing the both of you to become knock out." A voice suddenly answered, causing Izuku to jump slightly before turning around to see...
"All Might!" Izuku exclaimed, staring at the number one hero.
All Might laughed slightly.
"Haha! Glad to see that you're alright." All Might said with his huge smile that's he's well known for.
"Oh yeah, thank you for..." Izuku began to say but stop as he looked around.
"What happened to the drill Villain?" Izuku asked, seeing that the villain is nowhere to be seen.
"The police got him, and this might be yours." All Might said, holding up a bag that is familiar to Izuku.
"Oh, thank you! I thought that I was not going to get it back." Izuku said as he took his bag out of All Might's hand. however, the dark green hair boy became confused slightly.
"How do you know that this is my bag?" Izuku asked, looking at All Might with a small frown.
"Well, I saw the villain stealing your bag and chasing after him and I chased the after the both of you." All Might explained, causing Izuku to nod his head slightly.
"...Plus my attack cause the contents of your bag to spill, which has you names on that notebook of yours..." All Might added sheepishly, causing Izuku to sweat-drop.
"...I see..." Izuku said slowly.
"I couldn't help myself from looking at some of the pages of the note-books, very good analysis of the Quirks written in them." All Might said with a thumb up, causing Izuku to scratch the back of his head with a small smile.
"Heheh. Thanks..." Izuku said nervously.
"It's a good thing that your bag was recovered quickly, it would be bad if the villain read that note-book." All Might said, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"So, how are you being looked after by Rin?" All Might asked, causing Izuku to gain a slightly surprise look on his face.
"How do you know my aunt's name?" Izuku asked, becoming curious as All Might chuckled slightly.
"Hehe. Me and your aunt are old friends." All Might replied, causing Izuku to nod his head, slightly interested. It was then that the dark green hair boy realize something.
"You...remember me from five years ago?" Izuku asked slowly, causing All Might to nod his head.
"Of course! I've may do a lot's of hero work, but I never forget the important ones." All Might replied, causing a small smile to appear on Izuku's face.
"So...How's your Quirk? I've heard that it's difficult to handle because it was forced." All Might asked, causing Izuku to frown slightly.
"It's been painful whenever I've been using the evolution part of my Quirk, but the transformation part is okay." Izuku explained, causing All Might to nod his head, remembering the dragonish form that Izuku was in the first time that All Might saw him.
"Have you made a progress with your Quirk, in terms of making it less painful?" All Might asked, becoming curious.
"Not much, I still feel pain….even if it's dulled slightly." Izuku replied, causing All Might to nod his head slightly.
"Still got a long way to go then." All Might said, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"Yep. Hopefully the pain will disappear faster when I attend U.A. Aunt Rin said that the teachers there are sort of brutal when training students to fully master their Quirks." Izuku explained, causing All Might to nod his head slightly.
"You're not wrong about the brutal part." All Might thought, shaking slightly as he remembers a certain former homeroom teacher of his.
"Is Rin allowing you to attend U.A, considering your...time with Professor Jenze?" All Might asked, knowing that Rin can be protective of those close to her.
"Yes. Aunt Rin is slightly protective of me, but she stills supports my decision of becoming a hero. A dream I have since I was four-year-old." Izuku explained with a smile on his face, causing All Might to nod his head.
"It's nice to see that Young Zwen still have that dream, despite his history and finding out that you thought to be "Quirkless"." All Might thought, remembering what Rin said during the meeting five years ago.
It was then that Izuku's phone rang.
"Er…can you give me a second, All Might." Izuku said as the dark green hair boy took out his phone and looked at who is calling.
"Hm? It's from a Aunt Rin." Izuku commented before answering the call.
"Hi, Aunt. What/Izuku! Where are you?" Rin asked, interrupting Izuku.
"I'm at Sien park." Izuku replied, noticing that Rin sounding slightly panic.
"Oh, that's good to hear." Rin said, sounding relieved.
"Why are you asking, Aunt?" Izuku asked as he became curious along with All Might, who managing to hear the conversation.
"There's a group of villains attacking Myryles shopping center. Please stay away from the area." Rin said before ending the call.
"Well, it's time to get moving. A hero's job is never ending." All Might said as he stood up. However, Izuku wasn't listing to him. "Myryles shopping center...That's where Uraraka and her friends went!" Izuku thought before grabbing his bag and dashing off.
"H-hey! Where are you going?!" All Might called with a surprise look on his face.
"Don't tell me...That he's heading towards Myryles shopping center." All Might muttered before sighing.
"Rin will skin him alive if she spots him there. better make sure that nothings happen to him." All Might muttered again before chasing after Izuku.
When Izuku reached Myryles shopping center, the entrance is crowded with people.
"Where's Uraraka?!" Izuku thought as he peered over the head of the crowd, trying to see the familiar short brown hair.
However, he spotted two girls that Izuku recognize as Ochako's friends. The dark green hair boy made his way through the crowd to reach the two girls.
"Hey." Izuku said, causing the two girls to jump slightly before around.
"Oh! Hi Zwen." One of the girls said, surprise to see him (Ochako mentioned Izuku to her friends).
"What's happening? I've heard that villains are attacking the mall." Izuku asked, causing the other friend to nod her head.
"That's right. a group of villains, led by a guy who has a snow Quirk, suddenly attacked the mall. Most of the people in the mall have manage to escape." The friend explained, causing Izuku to nod his head.
"And what the others who haven't escaped?" Izuku asked starting to feel worried.
"The others are being held as hostages...Ochako is one of them. Don't worry though, there are heroes on the scene." The first friend and Izuku's eyes widen slightly.
"Uraraka is...in there." Izuku thought, starting to feel more worried.
"Which heroes are on the scene?" Izuku asked the two friends.
"Well, Recovery Girl is over there, healing those who got wounded." The second friend began to reply, pointing in a direction where a old lady wearing nurse's clothes who is with a group of people.
"I think that Captain Smoke and Eclipso are in the mall, not sure about the other heroes though." The second friend explained, causing Izuku to frown slightly.
"If Endeavor is here, then that would make things a lot easier for the heroes in beating the villain group. But then there's the hostages, making his attacks limited." Izuku muttered gaining a thinking face.
"There he goes with his muttering." The two friends of Ochako thought, the Zero Gravity Quirk user having told them about Izuku's habit of muttering to himself.
"I know that Aunt Rin told me not to come close to this place. I should leave...but I can't just leave Uraraka." Izuku thought, clenching his fist. The dark green hair boy closed his starting to making a decision. After a few seconds, Izuku opened his eyes again.
"Can you hold my bag please." Izuku said as he passed his bag towards one of the friends.
"W-what are doing?" The friend asked as she and the other friend become surprise.
"I'm going in there." Izuku replied, causing both of Ochako's friends to gain shock expressions.
"Wh-what! Are you crazy?" The first friend asked in a shock tone of voice, causing Izuku to smile slightly.
"Maybe I am. But...I can't just stand here whilst Uraraka is in danger." Izuku explained, causing the two friends to look at each other.
"There's no stopping you isn't there?" The second friend asked, causing Izuku to shake his head before disappearing within the crowd.
"Do you have any idea how he's going to get in?" The first friend asked, causing the second friend to shake her head.
"No idea." The second friend replied simply. Ochako told them that Izuku has a Quirk but haven't told them what sort of Quirk it is.
It was then that a commotion is heard from the back of the crowed, causing the two females to turn their heads. Smiles appeared on their faces when they saw who it was.
Within Myryles shopping center, the heroes are fighting the group of villains.
"What do these villains want here in the first place anyway?" Eclipso thought, frowning slightly.
"The only thing I can think of are the banks, which are located a few floors up..." Eclipso thought before sensing someone dashing towards her. The light/darkness Quirk user turned around just in time to see a villain holding a dagger above her.
"Mist punch!" a voice shouted, and the villain is hit in the face by a fist made out of mist.
"Thanks." Eclipso said as she turned around to see Captain Smoke and giving the pirate themed hero a thumbs up.
"Heh! Heroes need to watch each other's back, right?" Captain Smoke asked, causing Eclipso to nod her head before raising a hand.
"Huh?" Captain Smoke said, blinking slightly under his mask.
"Light arrows!" Eclipso said as arrows made out of light materialized around her before flying in the direction of Captain Smoke.
"H-hey! What are you-!" Captain Smoke began to exclaim but stop when the light arrows went flying past him.
The pirate themed hero turned around just in time to see the light arrows hitting a villain that was slowly approaching Captain Smoke from behind.
However, due to the low intensity of the light in the corridor they are in, the light arrows shattered like glass.
But that gave the pirate themed hero enough time to dash towards the villain and punching them in the gut, effectively knocking them out.
"And I could say the same to you." Eclipso said, smirking under her helmet.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Captain Smoke said, waving a hand in the air.
"Have you figured out why the villains are attacking the shopping center?" Captain Smoke asked, causing Eclipso to shake her head.
"I haven't got a solid idea why they would attack this shopping center. The only thing I could think of is the different bank branches on the floor above us." Eclipso explained, causing Captain Smoke to cross his arms whilst frowning under his white skull mask.
"...Maybe. If they are attempting a bank robbery, they're taking their time about it though, I haven't seen any villains going to these floors." Captain Smoke said, causing Eclipso to gain a worried look on her face.
"You don't think...that this could be a massacre?" Eclipso asked, gaining a nasty feeling in her stomach as she saw a majority of the villains carrying weapons.
"Well...I did saw some dead citizens whilst coming here, so maybe..." Captain Smoke replied slowly, causing Eclipso to gulp slightly.
"It's a good thing that I told Izuku to stay away from this place." Eclipso thought, sighing in relief slightly.
"How many villains are we dealing with?" Captain Smoke asked, causing Eclipso to gain a thinking face behind her helmet.
"I've believe to be nineteen villains, plus the leader, making it twenty..." Eclipso began to reply as she count of her fingers.
"And there's me, you, Death arms and Gunhead fighting them." Eclipso said, causing Captain Smoke to nod his head slightly.
"Guess that it will be our win then...if they weren't taking hostages." Captain Smoke said darkly, causing Eclipso to nod her head.
"Yes. There's the leader himself and six others holding the hostages, all Quirk users I believe." Eclipso said, causing Captain Smoke to hum slightly.
"Let's hope that other heroes decide to show up to turn the tables." Captain Smoke said, causing Eclipso to nod her head.
"Come on. There's villain to knock down." Captain Smoke said, causing Eclipso to nod her head again.
"There. I'd managed to get in without being seen." Izuku thought as he crept through the shopping centre's entrance.
The method that the dark green hair boy used to get into the shopping center is by turning invisible, the same technique used five years ago.
"Now, to find Uaraka and the other hostages." The invisible Izuku thought as he made his way through the shopping center, hearing the sound of battle.
"I wonder which heroes are fighting? I know that Aunt is one of them." Izuku thought, becoming excited.
However, it was then that Izuku notice something on the floor, causing him to stop and a nasty feeling started to appear in his stomach.
"A dead body..." Izuku thought, gulping slightly as he tried to look away from the dead body.
"I'd need to get use to the sight of dead bodies. I will see plenty more in the future." Izuku thought before gaining a sad feeling.
Whilst the aim of being a hero is to protect people, it can't be avoided that some lives will be lost. Izuku tore his eyes away from the dead body and carried on.
"Now, where would I keep hostages in this building?" Izuku thought as he gained a deep-thinking face.
"There's many floors and a complex design to the building, so they could be-" Izuku thought before remembering something.
"The leader of the group has a snow Quirk, so that will mean that it will be cold where the hostages are kept." Izuku muttered, smiling slightly as he gained a plan before making his way deeper into shopping center.
After a few minutes of walking, the dark green hair body felt the temperature dropping slightly.
"It's coming in this direction..." Izuku thought before heading down a corridor. After a while of wondering the shopping center, Izuku found himself in a looking a spacious area and saw the hostages in the center and people, Izuku guessed are the villains, standing around them.
"Now, where's Urarka?" Izuku thought as he scanned the group of hostages, he saw a few people with brown hair, but couldn't see Ochaco.
"Please hope that she's one of the dead bodies around the shopping Center." Izuku pleaded in his head.
"Hey, Boss." One of the villains, who has blue hair, called to a person who is wearing mostly white.
"What?" the boss asked, glancing up from the bench that he's sitting on.
"Can't we just kill these hostages now? I'm getting bored." The villain asked, causing the boss to glare at him.
"Are you an idiot or something? If we kill the hostages, then we have nothing to bargain with when the heroes arrive." The boss explained harshly.
"Bargain? What do they want from the shopping center?" Izuku thought becoming confused as he decided to evolve his body so that it will grow fur, him can't stand the cold any longer.
Ignoring the pain, a now visible Izuku started to hear footsteps and a few seconds later, Eclipso, Captain Smoke, Death Arms and Gunhead made their appearance.
"Give up, villains! This is our victory." Death Arms announced, but the boss kept a calm expression on his face.
"Really? You do realize that me and my boys are holding hostages?" The boss said in a calm manner as Gunhead raised his arms.
"Why do you want, villain?" Gunhead asked, eyeing the other villains through his mask.
"Nothing much. Just the money in those bank branches on the upper floors. You give us the money and we'll hand you the hostages." The boss replied, clasping his hands together.
"Like hell we'll reply to your demands!" Death Arms exclaimed as he took a step forward. However, the boss chuckled slightly.
"Oh, I think you will reply to them." The boss said before standing up and walking to the group of hostages. The boss then took one at random.
Izuku's eyes widened when he saw that it is Ochako he's holding by her hair.
"H-hey! Let go of me!" Ochako exclaimed as she struggled in the air.
"Maybe I should kill this hostage. That will probably make your decision making faster." The boss said as his free arm started to be covered in snow which then hardened, gaining sharp edges.
"You wouldn't!" Death Arms exclaimed, causing the snow Quirk user to chuckle slightly.
"I think I would, Death Arms. And I know that you wouldn't do anything rashly, that's what your most famous for, and that goes for the other three as well." The boss said, eyeing the other three heroes as a smirk appeared on his face.
A frustrated look appeared on Death Arms's face. With Izuku, the evolution Quirk user is thinking fast.
"Uraraka could use her Quirk, causing him to float in the air, that would make things easier for the heroes. But I guess that the coldness is preventing her to think properly." Izuku thought, glancing at the other hostages, seeing them shivering.
"I'm going to kill this girl now and show you four that me and my boys mean business." The boss said before raising the arm that is covered in the frozen snow.
As the snow Quirk user is about to lower the frown arm, aiming to cut of Ochako's neck, something snapped within Izuku.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Izuku roared before dashing towards the snow Quirk user.
"Izuku/Zwen!?" Both Eclipso and Ochako exclaimed in their heads at the same time as Izuku jumped into the air and prepared to punch the boss.
Suddenly, a dark indigo aura surround Izuku's clenched fist and when it made contact with the boss's face, it caused a small shock wave and sent the snow Quirk skidding backwards and crashed into a pillar.
Everyone gain wide eyes as Izuku caught Ochako before she could hit the ground.
"Urarka. Are you okay?" Izuku asked, holding the gravity Quirk user bridal style.
"Yes, I'm fine...?" Ochaco replied before noticing that Izuku's normal green eyes have turn indigo.
However, it was then that Ochako realized the position that Izuku is holding her, causing the gravity Quirk user to start blushing.
"...What hit me?" The boss muttered as he slowly stood up from the ground. When his eyes fell on Izuku, he gained a slight surprise look on his face.
"Well, this is interesting. I didn't expect that there was a fifth hero hiding." The boss said as he glance at the actual heroes.
Due to the masks and helmet covering Captain Smoke's, Gunhead's and Eclipso's faces, no one could see their expressions.
However, Death Arms has a shock expression on his face. Captain Smoke notice the shock expression and jab Death Arms in the stomach with his elbow, causing the Punching hero to realize that everyone could see his shock expression on his face and cleared his face of his shock expression.
The boss examine Izuku's dragon form and smirked slightly.
"Nice Quirk you got there, boy. And also a powerful punch, I can still feel the sting." The boss said, rubbing the place that Izuku punch him.
"However, you made a mistake of letting your emotions get the better of you, making you a rookie, but I can tell that the girl that I was about to kill is close to you." The boss explained, causing Izuku to tighten his hold on Ochako.
"Alright boys, get him." The boss said, causing the villains to start grinning.
"No!" Eclipso yelled and began to charge towards Izuku but was blocked off by three members of the group.
"Tch! What shall I do?" Izuku thought as he eyed the villains that are approaching him and Ochako.
"You better think of a plan fast. Otherwise you're in a world of pain." The boss said, him being one of the villains approaching Izuku and Ochako.
Ochako closed her eyes, starting to feel fear slightly.
"This man won't be in a world of pain." A voice suddenly spoke loudly, causing the villains to stop.
"And why is that?" The voice asked and the villains became tense, knowing who that voice belong to. The hostages, Izuke, Ochako and the heroes began to smile.
Suddenly, someone landed on the space in front of Izuku and Ochako, causing dust to fill the air.
"because I'm here." All Might replied with a grin on his face as the dust disappeared.
"G-great! All Might's h-here." The boss said, becoming scared slightly.
All Might glanced his head around to look at Izuku and Ochako.
"Are you two alright?" All Might asked, causing the two teens to nod their head.
"Now then, Villains..." All Might began to say, turning his attention towards the villains in the room.
"Prepare yourselves." All Might said, his grin widening.
And there we have, Izuku meeting All Might since five years ago and the reappearance of Captain Smoke alone with the appearance of Gunhead and Death Arms. I hope you guys found things mysterious with the change of Izuku's eyes. Please comment and until next time.
Dragon Lord Draco: That's a very cool idea, Izuku being able to gain new Quirks through evolution, but I can't see it happening with the actual Quirks. A example is Izuku making his scales harder, similar to Eijiro Kirishima's Quirk, But Izuku can't gain the ability to make things float like Ochako's Zero Gravity Quirk.
Classy J0K3R: Izuku's dragonish form will undergo a change, but it will happen with the aid of another factor.
RussianAbdicator: Bakugo will make a small appearance before the entrance exam.
