*Komori's (Itake) P.O.V*
All of 1-A, 1-B and Shinso arrived at Field Gamma. Once we arrived Mr. King started explaining the practical.
"Combat Exercises!" He yelled, "This time around it's a battle between Class A and Class B! And the stage will be this selection of training Field Gamma! Each side will be split up into groups of 4, with one team having a group of 5 for Toga and Shinso. And one team from each will battle it out at a time!"
"Four to a team, eh? Sounds fun!" Setsuna said.
"Yeah... wait a minute..." I said as I looked around, "Where's Izuku... and why is Polterpup here?"
"Oh that... there is a problem." Mr. Aizawa said.
"A problem?" Mr. King asked.
"We have a slight change of plans. Instead of fighting each other, you will join together... to fight..."
*SLAM*
"I am here... to fight!" Izuku said.
"To fight Midoriya." He said.
...
...
"WHAT?!" Everyone, including Mr. King and I asked.
"I ran this activity by Midoriya. He said that while this might be fun and a way to handle different situations, he asked that what they should do is learn how to cooperate against a super boss." Mr. Aizawa explained.
"The super boss... being me." Izuku said, "If you want any hope of beating my father, and Twice's clone of him. Then let's see how you stack up against the man who beat him."
"B-But all of us, against you?" Ashido asked.
"Yup. 42, against me." He said, "Which leads me, to my next point. Meet your newest team member." He said as he picked up Polterpup, "Polterpup!"
...
...
"Why?" I asked.
"I had Koji and Tooru train her in the art of stealth. She is our newest member of the recon team." Izuku said, "So here's the mission. You all, against me. Your objective... is to catch me 5 times."
"Only 5?" Bakugou asked.
"Yes, 5 times and you win. But I'm not going to be standing still, and you shouldn't either." Izuku said.
"But how can we hit you?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"Anything goes. Long range, close range, sneak attacks, ganging up, trapping me, hurting my feelings, whatever will help you in the battlefield. Be creative, because I won't fall for the same technique twice." Izuku explained with a smirk, "This will teach you all to work together to defeat a big enemy. So bury your pride!" He yelled looking at Bakugou and Monoma, "Because if you can't hit 5 times in... 45 minutes, then we're doubling Quirk training tomorrow."
"What?!" Everyone yelled.
"Yup. So for all of your sakes, you better do well." He said before zooming into Field Gamma.
... We need a plan.
*Midoriya's P.O.V*
"Hmm... should I stick to the rooftops? Or stay down here? Koji's got his animals..." I said as I looked up to see a bird sitting on a pole, only to fly away once I saw it, "So they have eyes on me practically at all times. Impressive. But knowing where I am is different..."
*Fwoosh* *Fwip*
"Not bad, I see why you got in on recommendations Tokage." I said outloud.
"H-How did you know?!" She asked.
"I felt a small gust of wind from your arm flying towards me, next time go slower... but you're a master strategist, 11th level intellect... so odds are..."
*BOOM*
"That this is a bait and switch." I said as I dodged out of Katsuki's blast. "Since I'm so generous though... I'll count me grabbing your arm a point."
"We don't need your fucking pity!" Katsuki yelled.
"I'm counting it anyway." I snarked as I dodged out of Shishida's grasp, "While that form is powerful, it makes a ton of noise. Save that form for when you're in an altercation... k?" I asked before jumping back up to the rooftops and zooming away. Though I must say... that was an impressive first go. Granted they only got a point because I gave them one, but it was well earned, but that one mistake costed them. I may have a 12th level intellect, but I'm not psychic. But, I'll tell them about that in detail later, for now...
*FWOOSH*
I have large bolts and screws to dodge.
*No One's P.O.V*
"He's dodging everything." Kodai yelled as Yanagi is sending out the projectiles.
"They're not supposed to hit him... just box him in." Yanagi said as Midoriya was surrounded by massive bolts and screws, boxing him in... with Iida.
"Not bad. Not bad at all." Midoriya said as Iida rushed after him. Throwing out punches and swipes in hopes of hitting him, but Midoriya was dodging all of them with ease.
"Got you Izuku!" Behind him Ochako began swiping at him as well. But slower to not hit Iida.
"Uraraka! Iida! DODGE!" Iida and Uraraka moved out of the way, as a bunch of purple balls surrounded Midoriya's shoes. Mineta landed in front of him. "Hahaha! Give up!"
"Not bad, but one thing you should do next time..." Midoriya said.
"What?" He asked.
"Make certain that I can't escape." Midoriya replied as he broke the concrete below him and jumped out of the trap, "BUT I'LL STILL COUNT IT!"He yelled before bolting far away... only to remove his shoes, "Barefoot it is... but still, it's been what? 7 minutes, and they've already gotten two points. Not bad, I might have to step up my ga-"
*FWOOOSH*
Midoriya dodged out of two ice waves going towards him. He smashed them both with ease. "I WAS MONOLOGUING!"
"Villains don't monologue anymore." the two Todorokis said as they encircled Midoriya in a cage of ice. "So does this count as 2 points?" Shoto asked.
"Technically I can still get out, unlike Minoru, Tenya, Ochako, Yanagi and Kodai, I was stuck and they could have captured me had this been a life or death situation, so I gave them the poin-"
*BOOM* *CRASH*
"UNLESS YOU HAVE CANNONS!" Midoriya yelled as he saw 15 cannons perched on top of the buildings.
"The Battle of Bunker Hill." Yaoyorozu started, "It was declared a loss for the Colonial forces of the United State's Revolutionary War."
"However the British Forces recieved heavy losses because of the Colony's onslaught with their cannons. The only reason they lost was because they went through their ammunition supplies. I'll give you a point for the historical reference, and for having a decent set up. If I were any normal person this could be a guarantee surrender... but I'm no normal person." Midoriya said.
"Then take this!" She yelled as she and other students fired off the cannons. Midoriya however caught all of the cannon balls and set them aside. "W-What?" Momo asked.
"Like I said, I'm not anyone else." He said as he tossed the cannon balls back at the cannons, destorying them. Once he finished he turned back towards the Todorokis, "You know... that was a perfect opportunity to catch me." He said before jumping away, "KEEP YOUR HEADS IN THE GAME NEXT TIME!" He yelled before rushing away. "Okay... 3 points in 20 minutes. Enough pity points, they catch me fully or bust. But still... these plans are pretty good, if this were a villain fight, and their minds are solely on capturing and not points, then I would have been caught a long time ago, and they're taking the idea of 'I won't fall for the same thing twice to heart' because their plans were different, if not some small things are similar."
"Aww, I'm so glad you think so highly of us." Midoriya turned to see Ashido and jumped out of the way. "Indescriminant Shock 1.3 Million volts!" He yelled, but Midoriya jumped out of the way the moment he heard 'Indescriminant'. Causing Kaminari to short his brain.
"Maybe yelling your plan wasn't a good idea-"
*Tap*
Midoriya turned to see Monoma has tapped his back, "He wasn't there to catch you, just distract you." He said.
...
...
"There are times where bait is necessary." Midoriya said.
"But we had others in hiding, so should he need back up we would have supplied him with reinforcements." He said.
"... Not bad. You got 4 out of 5 points needed. Oh, and don't go above 5%." Midoriya said before running off.
"... Okay, they have 10 minutes to get me once more. All I have to do is stay away for unti-"
"Izuku!" Midoriya turned to see, Komori standing on the rooftop.
"... All alone? Gutsy." Midoriya said as he turned to face her.
"Don't think I can't take you on by myse-" She took a step, but the side of the building crumbled below her, causing her to fall.
"Shit!" Midoriya yelled as he rushed over to save her, 'Come on, catch her!' He thought as he reached out for her... then, something happened.
Black tendrills extended from his hand and caught her from hitting the ground. Midoriya then brought her closer and took the impact of the fall for them.
"What... was that?" Komori asked as she looked at Midoriya... but his face was completely blank.
"I-Izuku?"
*Midoriya's P.O.V*
Huh...? Aoh I'm here again?! However, in front of me... instead of the Original Holder, it's that bald dude I saw at the end of that fever dream.
"Huh? Looks like I'm on a time limit here... Alright! Listen up kid! The power you just used is my Quirk!" He yelled.
His Quirk, that black stuff was his Quirk?
"Our Quirk factors merged with the core of this power, and have been inside One for All for a loooong time. It's a very tiny core, like a small point inside a flickering ember, or perhaps on the surface of a rippling water. It's the origin of the power concealed by the cultivating power. And as of right now, that core has begun its quickening. It's expanding and growing larger. My Quirk, Black Whip, fits those feelings perfectly. You're lucky that I was the first one. This here's a great Quirk, I'll have you know." He started, "However! That power being accumilated within One for All has also been added to this Quirk. Which means it's been drastically strengthened compared to when I using it!"
So what? How did I activate it? When I thought 'Catch her'?
"Aah!" He yelped as he started to fade, "Whoops I'm vanishing... I'm starting to feel all floaty. Ya see, I only exist inside your heart. So I'm only going to say this once. Keep control of your emotions. Should you use Black Whip, or any Quirk for that matter with anger, then it responds as such." He said, "It's fine to get angry, anger is one source of power. And that's why you must keep control of your emotions, extreme control of your emotions. Now that it's been handed down through eight people, One for All has become enormously powerful. So listen here, boy! From here on out, you're going to manifest 7 different Quirks, including with yours." He said.
Wait... 7?! I have Glass Cannon, One for All, and Black Whip, so 4 others.
"Control your heart, and master us." He said... before everything faded... and I was back in Field Gamma.
"IZUKU!"
*WHAM*
"OW!" I yelled as I fell on my butt, "W-What happened... oh, and you got the 5th point." I said.
Itake smacked me again, "We're not concerned for the points idiot! What happened?! What was that black stuff?" Itake asked.
...
...
I just stood up and looked at a massive screw on the ground. Okay... I'm going to grab that screw. I extended my hand towards the screw as 'Black Whip' extended and grabbed the screw. I lifted it up, and placed it on the ground a few meters away. I couldn't help but smile... but I have to lie. "Seems dear old Dad didn't tell me all I can use Glass Cannon for." I said.
"But what is that?" Itake asked.
"I don't know. I think I'm concentrating my power to create something that can allow me to grab things." I said, bullshitting my answer, "But I don't care what kind of physical answer." I said as I grabbed Tenya, "Does this hurt Tenya?"
...
...
"No, it doesn't." He said.
"THIS IS AWESOME!" I yelled as I set Tenya down gently, "Wait... we can work with this to further our advantage. Monoma, I'm not going to teach you how to do this when you copy my Quirk." I said.
"W-What why?" Monoma asked.
"Because it's a psychological thing. If Dad sees me doing this, and you don't then he'll think you have super strength and speed only, he'll think you have a different Quirk as opposed to Copy. Keep then on edge. If you and I start spewing out black tentacles, then he'll think something is wrong." I said.
...
...
"I see the logic behind that." He said.
"Well, in any case, congratulations, you all got all 5 points." I said.
"But does the last one count? You weren't in the right state of mind." Shiozaki asked.
"Luck is always part of a battle. If the enemy gets a lucky break they won't cripple themselves just to make it 'fair'. If you get a stroke of luck, take it and run with it. And besides... do you really want to fight against this?" I asked as I used Black Whip in demonstration.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then take it and run with it. You all win, congratulations."
We all returned to the main land, I told the staff what happened... they nodded in understanding, except All Might, he had this smile on his face. We're talking after everyone heads into their dorms.
Once that happened I met him in the teacher's lounge. "So what happened?" He asked.
I explained what he told me... he didn't tell me his name, but I explained it to him.
"So let me get this straight. Another one of the former members of One for All, talked to you, and told you that you can use not only his, but the other users Quirks." All Might summarized.
"Yes. Which makes sense. You said that One for All is a 'crystaline' power. So it makes sense that not only has One for All's power has grown, but the other powers would be there too." I said, "But we don't know all the other Quirks. They could be extremely powerful, or they could be useless in a fight but useful somewhere else." I said.
"Looks like we'll have to find out later." All Might said... until my phone started vibrating. Itake.
"I need to take this." I said as I stepped out, before answering the call, "Yes?"
"I know you are lying." She said.
...
...
Looks like we're doing this now.
"Why? Why are you lying to me?" She asked.
Come clean, but don't say anything pretaining to One for All, "It's important that I Don't say anything about the thing I'm lying about." I said, "It's for your safety that you don't kno-"
"You said I could take care of myself." She said, "Didn't you say that I was on par with you in terms of everything?"
"Yes... I did." I replied.
"Then why can't I know what you are hiding?" She asked... before taking a deep breath, "Is there a good reason?"
"Yes. If other people, villains, know about my secret, then they might come after you... and they might... if we get to that point, our kids. I don't want that." I said.
...
...
"I understand... but I would still like to know." She said.
"Itake-"
"If we both know what's happening, if we both know the stakes, then we can work together to prevent it." She said, "But it's your choice, I just wanted to know if you had a good reason to not tell me about this."
...
...
"I'll call you back in a minute, tops." I said.
"Okay." She said before hanging up.
I need All Might's permission before I can tell her though.
"So she wants you to tell her, but in the end is fine with what you choose?" All Might asked.
"Yes, but I feel horrible for hiding it from her. And she's been with me for 6 months now, and we've been friends... for 8." I said.
"... If you would like to tell her, then it's fine." He said.
"R-Really?" I asked.
"Yes, it's fine if one other person knows. That way if words gets out... we know who did it." All Might said.
"That's... very valid. Alright, I'll call her." I said as I stepped out to call her again.
"Izuku?" Itake asked.
"Come to the teacher's lounge, we need to talk."
A knock on the door, "Come in." I said.
Itake entered the room, "All Might? Why are you here?" She asked.
"All will be explained in time. Please, take a seat." All Might said as she sat next to me, "What we're about to tell you, MUST be kept secret. If word gets out, who knows what kind of danger will befall on you two, and your future family, should you get to that point that is."
"I understand." Itake said.
"Then here goes..." I said.
I explained everything about One for All, the power, the passing down aspect, everything. All Might didn't stop me, so I kept explaining, I added the info we just obtained. "So that's... the secret I was holding." I said.
She looked dazed, overwhelmed by the information, "S-Sorry that's a lot to take in... give me a moment." She said.
...
...
"Okay... I'm good." She said.
"So you know why we don't want this getting out?" I asked, "Should any of that... especially the passing down aspect of it, then villains from all over will come after me, you, my family, everyone just to get that power."
"I-I understand... and your secret is safe with me." She said.
"Good." I said.
"Who else knows?" Itake asked.
"All Might, Myself, You, Recovery Girl, Principal Nezu, All Might's old master, and All Might's closest friend in the police force." I listed off.
"Okay, no one else?" Itake asked.
"No one else." I answered.
"Okay, and thank you for trusting me with this info." Itake said.
"Well it was trust... and that if word gets out then we know who to blame." I said.
"I would say that was rude... but it's a big secret, so it's to be expected." She said.
"It's not that we don't trust you to blab, but as opposed to all of the previously mentioned, you're the biggest question mark. Please understand." All Might said.
"I understand. He is my boyfriend after all, I wouldn't know what to do if something happened to him." Itake said.
"Neither would I." I said, I don't even want to know what to do with One for All should I fall...
But that's something to think when that inevitably happens.
*End of Chapter*
(A/N: So as of right now, this story is on Hiatus. We have hit the dreaded wall of Shonen Jump Manga Updates, dun dun dunununun. But that means I can FINALLY update my other stories Hallelujah! And I'll need a story to replace this one for now. So when will this story be back? After the next Manga Arc finishes. That would give me a lot of time to work on the other stories, and the new one I'm working on. So until that comes Glass Cannon is officially on Hiatus.)
