Hello everyone. Ready for a new chapter?
Chapter 24
It's after school and Ochako is heading towards the front doors by herself.
However, her thoughts are miles away.
"I wonder how I can contact, Mr Yagi. I haven't got his phone number and Deku probably won't answer my call..." Ochako thought, becoming depress at the last thought.
"I could probably try to contact Miss Zwen. Deku said that Mr Yagi is/Hello, young Uraraka!" A voice boomed from behind Ochako, interrupting the gravity Quirk user's thoughts.
"EEEEEK!" Ochako exclaimed as she turned around to see All Might.
"Hahahaha. Sorry for making you jump, young Uraraka!" All Might apologies, seeing the shock expression on Ochako's face.
"It okay. I've...been in my thoughts." Ochako explained, causing All Might to nod his head.
"Been thinking about young Zwen?" All Might asked, causing Ochako to blush slightly, even though she knew that All Might was implying about she being worried about the dark green hair boy.
"Yes and...something else..." Ochako replied, causing All Might to become curious.
"And what's that?" All Might asked, causing Ochako to bit her lips.
"Its...about those "ghosts" that appeared around Deku at the UJS." Ochako replied, causing the number one hero to become confuse before realizing that the gravity Quirk user is referring to Izuku.
"What about them?" All Might asked, becoming more curious.
"Well, one of them looked like Deku's, and mine to an extent, trainer, Toshinori Yagi." Ochako replied, causing All Might to freeze, something that the gravity Quirk user notice.
"...That's interesting to know." All Might said, getting back to his usual self, however, Ochako could tell that something is up with All Might.
"Yes, it is. I've been trying to think of a way to contact him. I know that Deku won't answer my calls so that leaves Miss Zwen, Deku's aunt, since Mr Yagi is a friend of hers." Ochako explained, causing All Might to nod his head slightly before frowning.
Ochako started to become nervous at the quietness that All Might has become and jumped slightly when All Might started to speak again.
"Uraraka, can you follow me please. What I'm going to tell you is extremely secretive." All Might said, causing Ochako to immediately become curious before starting to follow the number one hero.
After a few minutes of walking through the hallways of U.A, All Might lead Ochako into an empty teacher's lounge.
"You may want to sit down, Uraraka. What I'm going to show you will certainly shock you." All Might explained, causing the gravity Quirk user to raise an eye-brow but did what she been told.
All Might took a deep breath before steam started to come out of the number one hero's body.
"A-All M-Might! You're s-steaming!" Ochako exclaimed, becoming shock as the steam completely cover All Might's body.
When the steam disappeared, Ochako stared at the person who was now in front of her.
"...Mr Yagi?" Ochako asked, causing the now skinny man to nod his head.
"...YOUR ALL MIGHT!" Ochako exclaimed, her eyes almost coming out of their sockets.
Toshinori immediately rush to the door and closed it.
"I know that it's after school, but please keep your voice down." Toshinori said, causing a still shocked Ochako to nod her head slowly.
"I...always wondered why don't wear a mask, your Quirk cause a physical change as well?" Ochako guessed, causing Toshinori to nod his head as he sat down on the opposite couch.
"Yes. It was quite shocking for me when I first used my Quirk...and slightly embarrassing..." Toshinori said, causing Ochako to become confuse.
"Why do you think I wear baggy clothes?" Toshinori asked, causing Ochako to blink her eyes a few times becoming wide eyes.
"Yes...I see why." Ochako said, causing Toshinori to chuckle slightly.
"So, what's going on with those "ghosts" that appeared around Deku?" Ochako asked once Toshinori stopped chuckling and took a deep breath.
"What I'm going to tell you, Uraraka, involves the truth about young Zwen's second Quirk...well Quirk since his first Quirk isn't a Quirk in the first place..." Toshinori said, adding the last awkwardly.
This cause Ochako to become curious.
"What has Zwen told you about the enhancer Quirk?" Toshinori asked, causing Ochako to think back to the second day of U.A.
"...He said that it suddenly manifested when you were at his and Miss Zwen's house and you sensed that the power of Deku's second Quirk, I mean Quirk, would destroy him...I think." Ochako replied, causing Toshinori to nod his head slightly.
"Well, the truth is that Zwen's enhancer Quirk...was passed down to him." Toshinori said, causing Ochako to become silent for a few seconds before becoming shock.
"WHAT! Is that even possible!?" Ochako asked, completely shock by the news.
"Well, with eighty percent of the population having Quirks, there's a huge variety of different Quirks along with new ones manifesting. So, a Quirk being able to pass between people is a possibility." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to nod her head slightly.
"I guess that makes sense...but who would want to pass a very powerful Quirk to Deku?" Ochako asked, causing the true form of the number one hero to start grinning.
"I think it's obvious if you think about it. Who has a similar Quirk that causes its user to increase their strength ten-folds?" Toshinori asked, causing the gravity Quirk user to gain a blank expression on her face whilst tilting her head to the side.
After a few seconds, Ochako's eyes widened to their fullest and started to point a finger at Toshinori.
"Y-you! you gave D-Deku the e-enhancer Q-Quirk." Ochako replied as her raised arm shook slightly.
"Correct! Izuku Zwen has inherited my Qui-Koff!" Toshinori said before taking to cough.
"Mr Yagi. Are you okay?" Ochako asked as Toshinori continued to cough and the gravity Quirk user could have sworn that she saw blood.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Toshinori said as he wipe the blood away, hoping that Ochako hasn't seen it.
"But why did you pass your Quirk onto Deku? You're...not dying or anything" Ochako asked, becoming scared slightly.
"...I could be." Toshinori said, causing Ochako to become surprise, before taking a deep breath.
"Uraraka. I'm going to show you something that may be disturbing." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to become curious.
The gravity Quirk user's eyes widened when Toshinori lifted his shirt and saw the scar.
"I received this wound in a fight six years ago." Toshinori explained as Ochako's face started to become green slightly.
"Six years ago...Is that what cause your mysterious disappearance?" Ochako asked, causing Toshionori to nod his head.
"Yeah, some people called me foolish of making the decision of continuing my hero work." Toshinori said as he drop his shirt.
"Why though?" Ochako asked, causing Toshinori to frown slightly.
"I think it was because if I completely disappeared, then everyone will think that All Might, the symbol of peace, is dead and all that I have done will be for nothing as villains will take the opportunity to spread chaos." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to gulp slightly.
"So, you decided to search for a successor for your Quirk?" Ochako asked, causing Toshinori to nod his head.
"There were other people searching for a suitable candidate to be my successor, but I wanted to conduct my own search." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to nod her head slightly.
"And you decided to make Deku your successor." Ochako asked, causing Toshinori to nod his head.
"Yes. I saw potential in the young man who already wield the power of evolution by his side. But I had to wait until Zwen got used to being in civilization again. Midnight told me that she and Miss Kindel told your class about Zwen being experimented on." Toshinori added, causing Ochako to nod her head before starting to frown.
"But why did you choose Deku when he already has a Quirk-like ability?" Ochako asked, causing Toshinori to smile slightly.
"It doesn't really matter if my successor already possesses a Quirk or not. My mentor, who was the previous wielder of the stock-pile Quirk before me, already wield a Quirk, saw potential in me and decided to take me under her wing." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to nod her head before realizing something.
"Wait, if it this Quirk was passed down to you, then that make you...Quirkless yourself." Ochako said, causing Toshinori to nod his head.
"That's...scary if you think about it." Ochako said, thinking how the number one hero, whose presence cause crime to decrease every year, is born Quirkless.
"Yes, it is when you think about it. I guess that me and Zwen are similar in a way, both being born Quirkless but having the desire to become a hero." Toshinori said, causing Ochako to nod her head.
"Except that Deku possessed a Quirk-like power that was sleeping." Ochako pointed out, causing Toshinori to sigh.
"Except that part, yes." The true form of the number one hero said, causing Ochako to giggling slightly.
"So, what's the name of this Quirk? You never mentioned a name in any of your interviews. You always pass on a joke or something." Ochako explained as she started to become curious.
"The name of this stock-pile Quirk, which can be passed down from one person to the next, and gets stronger with each passing, is called One For All." Toshinori replied, causing Ochako's eyes to widen.
"All...For...One..." Ochako said slowly, letting the name sink in.
It was then that I thought entered the gravity Quirk user's head.
"So, that's what the ten-mouth training was about. Making sure that Izuku's body can withstand the raw power." Ochako said, causing Toshinori to nod his head.
"That's correct. All those who wield One For All will need a well-built body to contain the immense power of One For All. If they don't, then the Quirk will rip them to shreds." The true form of the number one hero explained, causing Ochako to shiver at thought of Izuku's body getting rip to pieces.
"So those "ghosts" that appeared around Deku were the past wielders of One For All?" Ochako asked, causing Toshinori to nod his head.
"That's correct, their appearance means that Zwen is becoming more synced with One For All. It happened to me once, but they only appeared in my mind's eye. This is the first time that the appeared in the physical world." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to become surprise slightly before nodding her head.
"That's good to hear that they only imprints. You should have what Hagakure said. She came up with the idea that they are people that Zander killed in the past and decided to stick with Deku." Ochako explained, causing Toshinori to shiver.
"That's plain creepy." Toshinori said, causing the gravity Quirk user to giggle slightly However, it was then that Ochako realize something.
"Wait, if Deku has your Quirk, then how are you still able to use it?" Ochako asked, becoming confuse.
"Think about One For All as a fire. When the flames die, what is left are the embers. The previous wielder of One For All will be able to use the "embers" of the Quirk before they disappear." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to nod her head, understanding the concept before realizing something which cause her to become shock.
"Wait! That means that your time as the symbol of peace is limited!" Ochako exclaimed, causing Toshinori to sadly nod his head.
"That's right. the more I use One For All, the quicker the "embers" will disappear and the symbol of peace will be truly dead." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to gulp.
"And my current time of being able to use the "embers" is limited as well." Toshinori said, causing Ochako to become confuse.
"The wound that I showed you caused me to only activate One For All for three hours a day." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to nod her head slightly.
"I guess three hours don't seemed to bad. You always finish your fights quickly." Ochako said, causing Toshinori to smile slightly.
"That's true, but due to the events that happened at the UJS, my time is cut significantly." Toshinori said, causing Ochako to frown slightly.
"...You were pushing yourself over your three-hour limit. Thirteen did say that you almost reached your limit...whilst holding up three fingers." Ochako said, remembering what the space-themed hero said back then.
Toshinori nodded his head.
"That's correct, and due to me pushing past my limit, my hero time is reduced to a mere fifty minutes." Toshinori said, causing Ochako to become shock.
"Fifty minutes!" Ochako exclaimed, causing Toshinori to nod his head.
"Does...Deku knows about the time limit stuff?" Ochako asked, causing Toshinori to nod his head slightly.
"I told Zwen about my three hour limit, but I haven't told him about One For All's "embers"." Toshinori replied, causing Ochako to raise an eye-brow.
"Do you think that...was a good idea, not telling him about the "embers"?" Ochako asked, causing Toshinori to hum slightly.
"I...didn't told Zwen about the "embers" because he looked up to me, as you well know, so, if I did told him, then it will probably break him because he will start telling himself that he's destroying the symbol of peace." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to nod her head slowly.
"Yes. That does makes sense..." Ochako muttered, thinking that she would be devastated if she was in Izuku's place.
"But Zwen's a clever person. He will probably figured it out eventual since I always refer One For All as the Olympic flame." Toshinori explained, causing Ochako to slowly nod her head.
"So, what are you going to do when you are unable to use the "embers" of One For All anymore?" Ochako asked, causing Toshinori to chuckle slightly.
"You let me worry about that. You need to focus on cheering up Zwen. Haven't you." Toshinori said, causing the gravity Quirk user to nod her head.
It's the weekend now and Ochako is heading straight towards the Zwen's residence.
"I hope that Miss Zwen is out. I want to talk with Deku privately." Ochako thought with a determined look on her face and after a while of walking, the gravity Quirk user came across a door.
"This should be their home." Ochako muttered as she glance at the number on the door.
"Well, here I go." Ochako thought as she took a deep breath before pressing the doorbell and waited.
"...Is there anyone at home?" Ochako thought after a minute of waiting.
However, the sound of footsteps from the other side of the door eased Ochako's doubt and after a few seconds, the door opened.
Ochako became surprise at the state that Izuku is in.
Izuku's hair is much more messier and from the looks of the dark rings under the dark green hair boy's eyes, he has little sleep.
The two of them stared at each other.
"...Hi." Ochako said, starting to smiling.
After a few seconds of complete silence, Izuku's eyes widen in shock and starting to close the door.
However, Ochako guessed that this would happened and dive towards Izuku, causing the both of them to crash onto the ground and using her foot, the gravity Quirk user slammed the door closed.
"Get off!" Izuku exclaimed as he struggled to get Ochako off him who has her arms wrapped around his torso.
"I won't!" Ochako replied as she kept a firm hold on Izuku.
This went on for a few minutes before Izuku let out a sigh and slumped his arms onto the ground.
"Why did you came?" Izuku asked, staring at the ceiling.
"Me and everyone else are worried. You haven't shown up in class." Ochako replied, still keeping a firm hold on the dark green hair boy.
This cause Izuku to turn his head to the side.
"Why should they? I'm a monster." Izuku said, causing Ochako's eyes to widen in shock.
"Deku! Your no monster!" Ochako exclaimed as she moved so that she is now on all fours and looking down at Izuku.
"Yes I am. A monster would never their friends." Izuku explained, causing Ochako to bit her lips.
"Deku, you were controlled by that villain. It wasn't your fault." Ochako explained, but Izuku doesn't look convinced.
"You heard him, didn't you? I'm a part of him." The dark green hair boy said, causing Ochako to take a deep breath.
"Does it really matter if you have that villain's DNA? You your own person, Deku." Ochako explained, hoping that Izuku might cheer up.
"That doesn't help the fact that I attacked everyone and almost killed you." Izuku said, not making eye-contact with Ochako.
"Deku, nobody's option has changed about you, even finding out that you part of this Incursion race that Miss Kindle is a part of as well." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to look at her.
"She told that, huh?" Izuku asked, causing Ochako to nod her head.
"Miss Kayama also told the rest of the class about what Zander told us and...you being experimented on." Ochako replied, causing Izuku to freeze slightly.
"She thought it was beneficial to all of us, thinking that telling us the whole story will help you." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to gain a sad expression on his face.
"I don't think so. Everyone will start to think that I'm some freak that is unwanted." Izuku said, causing Ochako's eyes to widen in shock.
"Izuku Zwen! You're not an unwanted freak! You're a kind person with a deep curiosity about Quirks, who has big dreams of becoming a hero and...and..." Ochako trailed off and Izuku's eyes widen when he saw tears starting to appear in the gravity Quirk user's eyes.
"And...the person that I love..." Ochako said before kissing Izuku on the lips.
The sudden move cause Izuku to become shock before starting to kiss back.
This cause Ochako to become shock this time before starting to feel extremely happy.
After a few minutes, the two of them broke a part, panting slightly.
"I'm...glad you think the same way." Ochako said with a huge smile on her face.
"Yeah...I kind of thought that I blow my chance." Izuku said, a small smile appearing on her face.
Ochako shook her head.
"Your such a silly person, Deku. I love you even if you become a complete monster. Remember what I said to you when I first saw you Incursion form?" Ochako asked, deciding to call Izuku's dragonish form by the alien race's name.
Izuku frowned slightly as he shook his head.
"I said that you look friendly, and you still are, even with your new upgrade." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to blink a few times before becoming confuse.
"...New upgade?" Izuku asked, causing Ochako to become confuse this time.
"You...don't remember?" Ochako asked, causing Izuku to shake his head slightly.
"I remember getting controlled by Zander and attacking you guys, but after the point where Aoyama arrived, I remember nothing." Izuku explained, causing Ochako to frown slightly.
"So, those "ghosts" took over Deku's body then." Ochako muttered with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Did you say something, Ochako?" Izuku asked, causing Ochako to come out of her thoughts.
"Its nothing. Come on now, you need some sleep. From the looks of things, you haven't slept at all since the UJS." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to nod his head as Ochako got off him and helped the dark green hair boy onto his feet.
As Ochako guide Izuku to the door with his name-plate on it, a thought entered his head.
"H-hang on a minute! Where are you going to sleep?" Izuku asked, knowing that Ochako want to stay with him for the night. Ochako turned her head and giggled slightly.
"What a silly question, I'm going to sleep with you. I am your girlfriend now after all." Ochako replied, a light blush appearing on her cheeks.
"...!" Izuku's eyes widened as his entire face turned deep red.
And there we have it, Ochako knows All Might's secret and One For All. Finally we have the pairing of Izuku and Ochako in the story, hope you like the scene. Please review and until next time.
Dragon Lord Draco: Yes, they certainly would.
fencer29: Yes, the class would certainly have lots of questions.
Colt Cobra: There are two hints that aliens are involved with the story. The Ruhr meteor in chapter four and in chapter eleven when Recovery Girl was examining Izuku's blood. Sorry about the dialogue.
