*Midoriya's P.O.V*
...
...
Huh? Why can't I speak? What's with this weird dream? Who is that woman? Who are those people, I can only see 5, excluding the brother, the others are too far away for me to see? What is that flaming person... wait, All Might? What is happeni-
"Why do you stand against me? Join me in my conquest. My adorable, foolish, younger brother." A man said. Wait brother?
"Because everything you're doing is wrong! And I can't possibly forgive you! Not a single fiber of your being!" The brother yelled.
This has to be... One for All is showing me it's history via fever dream.
"What a terrible thing to say. And here I was trying to compromise. Isn't there even a tiny bit of open-mindedness in your so called righteousness?" He... who I assume is All for One, said.
"The whole world has fallen into chaos! 'Superpowers' should not be used to fulfill your own selfish desires! You're not thinking of anyone but yourself!" The first holder yelled.
Next was a flash of All for One, taking a Quirk from someone and transfering it to someone else. The man who got his Quirk stolen from was distraught, but the one who recieved the Quirk, was smiling but clearly scared.
"From now on, if I'm ever in trouble. You'll 'elp me, won't you?" All for One asked... as sounds echoed around us.
"Of course aah... Dad, Mom...! Thank you! Thank you! So much...! I will never forget what you've done for me." The voice said, a young voice. A toss up between The original holder and All for One, but that was extraneous information.
"What 'world' do you speak of, brother? What do you see? I see 'People'. And I put my power to use for their sakes." All for One said.
"Coming from you, that's nothing but sophistry...! Just now, what you really did was create two more servants to do your bidding!" The Original Holder yelled.
"I need people who owe me a debt. That way I know they'll come through when needed. But by denying me, you also deny them of their happiness." All for One said, "I have the power to restore order to this world which has lost it's humanity. That said, which one of us is so desparate to force their ego on society here?"
"You call taking advantage of people's vulnerablilites 'Bringing Order'?! You've completely lost count of how many people you've toyed with, used, and thrown away, haven't you?!" The Original Holder asked before someone rushed in and slammed him into the ground.
"Whoa there. Be gentle, now. He's quite frail." All for One said, "I've got a bodyguard now. I've become famous after all."
"I won't forgive anyone who insults him." The bodyguard muttered.
"Aah... you poor thing. How pitiful it is, to be born without a superpower. Without power, one cannot even assert their ideals even so, I still love you, my pathetic younger brother... you're my only family after all." All for One said... before the scene changed. To building... burning destoryed buildings. Quirked people were attacking those without Quirks. But then All for One rushed in and took all of their Quirks.
"I will offer a 'choice' to the powerless. And sinners will be forgiven. I will grant that which you wish. You need only to follow me." He said, as thousands and thousands of people lined up in front of him... all because they were powerless to stop him.
Then the scene changed again...
"Aah... you're still not eating? You poor thing. You've gotten so thin." All for One taunted.
"I refuse... to be manipulated by you." The Original Holder said.
"Isn't it about time you gave up?" All for One asked, "I've united people who wielded their powers for petty crimes in my faction. But there was one group that declined my offer. They refused to accept order. They were a very dangerous existance."
Then an image of people running and a building collapsing appeared.
"So they were killed." He said simply, "But don't get me wrong. I didn't give any orders. My many friends and followers simply translated my thoughts, my desires to bring order, into action. I was happy beyond words...! I simply think it, and everyone takes action on my behalf... it's the stuff of dreams. It's just like the world of that comic we read together, on that day way back then."
"You only read up to volume 3, but there's still more to the story. In that world controlled by the demon king. The Hero of Justice never gave up the struggle and fought through all the pain, and in the end he saved everyone. Did you know, brother? Villains always lose when all is said and done." The Original Holder said... man I wish I knew his name.
Then All for One gripped the Original Holder's face, "Fantasy has become reality! And in reality, things don't go like they do in stories! And now, I will rewrite the reality in which you refused to yield to me!" He boasted, "Because you're so dear to me. I found a superpower that someone even as frail and starving like you can handle! Now join me!"
"Stop it!" The Original Holder yelled in agony... before he collapsed onto the ground.
"I have bestowed upon you, a simple superpower, one that allows you to stockpile within you! Such a small power that can grow to such big heights!" All for One exclaimed before heading towards the door, "Do use it well." Then he left.
The next few images shown the Original Holder training and attempting to fight off All for One, and everytime he fought with him, he failed. That's when... he met with someone.
He plucked a hair from his scalp and handed it to him... but then the image faded to nothingness.
"So you are the ninth holder... I have just about showed you all I wanted to show. It seems you can only use about 40% right now. We've long since passed the point of singularity. But don't worry." He said before grabbing my hand.
"You are not alone."
"GAAH!" I yelled as I shot out of bed... everything is either trashed or destroye- Eri?!
"What is going on Izuku?!" Yuuga asked with Eri by his side, "Are you bottling up something?! You have frightened your daughter! Apologize at once!" He yelled.
He's right... even though it wasn't entirely my fault... she needs to be reassured. I walked over and hugged her, "I'm sorry Eri... just a bad dream... if you want you can go to Grandma." I offered, but she shook her head.
"I-It's fine... I kow nightmares." She said as she hugged me back.
"Sorry about this Yuuga." I apologized as he sighed.
"Don't pay it a second thought... now go to bed." He said before walking out.
"Okay, let's go to sle-" I said... before looking at the destroyed bed. "L-Let's go to the living room."
And order a replacement bed and comforters... and pillows... and everything else that was destroyed.
Yeah... this warrants a visit to All Might.
"You saw the first's memories?!" All Might asked.
"Yeah... it was also All for One's memories as well. Did you experience something like this too?" I asked.
"Yeah. After I saw them, my master... the previous holder of One for All before me, taught me about 'Vestiges'. It's also because I saw that vision that I was able to tell you about the origin of that power." He explained.
"I saw up until he was going to pass on his power. I didn't see whom he gave it to though." I said, "Then he spoke to me directly, saying that I can only use 40% of One for All's power right now, and something about a 'point of singularity'... and said in the end 'You are not alone'."
"Well I've never experienced this, and my master never mentioned it, either. As far as I know, you are the only one this has ever happened to. But..." All Might said before he looked deep in thought.
...
...
"All Might?" I asked as he snapped out of his trance with his re-requisite blood splatter.
"OH! You said you accidentally activated your powers and woke up? Are you hurt?" All Might asked.
"No, but I scared Eri 3/4ths to death. She forgave me but is more wary. Oh, and I need a new mattress and comforter." I said.
"Well that's... better than what could have happened." He said.
"Yeah, I'm relieved she was safe. And rushed over to Yuuga." I said.
All Might nodded, "Well, all we know is that this is something that even I have no knowledge of. This point of singularity might be talking about Quirks, or it might not. And we're not sure if this situation was brought about because of you, or some outside force." He said before looking at me, "Anything else of note?"
"No." I said, "I couldn't see two other people, because they were too blurry." I said, "But point of singularity. So with that... I can think of two different things. One more stupid than the other one." I said.
"Go on?" All Might asked.
"One, and it's the stupid one, all of the former quirk wielders will be in control of my body? Like a mental council? But now that I think about it, you're still here, so that wouldn't make sense." I said, "The second one... is what you said earlier, about Quirks. What if I get their Quirks to add with One for All?" I asked.
...
...
"That would make sense with the 'singularity' aspect." All Might said, "If that is true... and you get all of the previous holders Quirks."
"Then I would be more powerful. That's a given. But here's the thing." I said, "You said you were Quirkless, and the First Holder's Quirk is the passing down aspect. So we have 6 other Quirks we don't know about." I said, "What's your master's Quirk?" I asked.
...
...
"I don't remember." He said.
"HOW CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER?!" I asked as he flinched.
"Ease up on me!" All Might yelled in defense, "She mainly used One for All, she didn't give her other Quirk a second thought because it would be suspicious of her to have two Quirks." He said.
"Valid I guess..." I muttered, "So 6 we don't know about. For all we know, they could be something that is not useful for combat."
"Well we'll just have to wait and see... for now, you should get going the big training session is today." All Might said.
"Oh right." I said as I got up and headed for the door, "Aren't you coming too?" I asked.
"I-I need to come too?" He asked.
"Duh!" I yelled, "That... and Eri wants to see her Great Grandpa."
All Might spat out blood, "Y-You can't possibly be serious!" He asked.
"Of course I am, so hurry up."
"Alright, everyone." I said as I began pacing back and forth, "As you are all aware, a Civil War is brewing. Between us, the Heroes, and the League of Villains. The League is growing not only in ranks, but in weaponry. As such, we must work harder than ever before if we would like to defeat this growing threat." I explained, "As such, we shall be training not only your physical bodies, but also your Quirks. We don't know when the Civil War shall happen... so we must train hard and efficiently." I said as I glanced at All Might, who handed out a stack of papers to everyone. "Our esteemed teachers have worked around the clock last night to give you all these workout regimens, along with meal plans, etc. As you can see... they are pretty freaking strict. Follow them to the T, no over training or under training, any deviations will have the opposite effect of what we want." I said.
"Yes General!" Everyone, even 1-B yelled.
"You shall start those tomorrow, for now, we shall focus on Quirk training." I said, "I'm not going to lie to all of you. For the next... I don't know how long, training will be hard, I would also like to reiterate that while I promised that I would protect all of you, it's not 100% certain you will survive. So I would like to ask one final time. If you would like to still fight against the League. Please step forward." I said.
Everyone stepped forward.
"We're with you all the way General." Itake said as everyone agreed with a salute.
"Thank you..." I said with a salute.
"Then let's get started then."
"Good work today everyone!" I exclaimed as the 3 hour time frame allotted for training was up.
"While what we did may seem small, it's necessary steps, so rest up. We're having a practical tomorrow. 1-A, 1-B, and Shinso will be there." Mr. Aizawa said before looking at Gentle, La Brava, and Rei Rei. "As for you three, you are free to either train tomorrow, or join to spectate."
After that, we were let out for the day, this was the last thing on the schedule after all. We made it back to our dorms... got me some time to ponder One for All.
Singularity... I'm 67% certain it involves Quirks. But what are the Quirks of the past wielders. All Might apparently forgot. So I have no way of knowing at least until his brain freaking remembers... well let's go through what we DO know. All Might is Quirkless, and The Original Holder, we already know it's to pass down Quirks. So that leaves 5 others we don't know jack diddly about. Well... I got nothing new out of that thinking session.
Looks like we'll have to wait and see. Because tomorrow is a practical, that way we can see what the others need to work on... but no point in fretting about it now.
Time to rest up.
