Hey guys welcome back! So I got a review for a suggestion about using 'Dragon Smash' instead of 'Dragon Fist'. (Which is a seriously good point!) Truth be told I kinda forgot about Izuku's crazy idolization of All Might so it slipped my mind to even think about it! So, I've decided to switch to using smashes in some of his moves! Thank you Maikeru Ketteiakasai for the suggestion! About Albion as well...well just wait and you'll see ;). Also, after the USJ arc is when I'll add in my personal arcs and some fluff chapters with our best girls! Have a good one and enjoy the chapter guys!

Pure white. That was all Izuku saw as he opened his eyes. His body groaned in pain as he tried to sit himself up. The last thing he remembered was tying up Bakugou and transferring all of his power to Iida. That's when it hit him.

"The other matches!" Izuku tried to move, but his body was screaming at him not to. He had to go see the other matches. He had so many pages of his journals he had to fill up and he wanted to see his classmates in action. However, once he finally looked around...he wasn't in a hospital even though there was tons of white. Actually...it was only white. There was nothing but Izuku and his hospital bed.

"W-where am I?" Izuku muttered to himself as he forced himself to get up to his feet.

"So you're finally up, eh?" A calming yet powerful voice said behind him.

"Wha!?" Izuku turned around and saw a red carpet leading up to a throne. On top of the throne was someone that didn't exactly fit the image of a king.

"Yo!" The man said as he hopped to his feet. The man was around five seven which was only a little more than Izuku himself. He had brown hair with brown eyes. He was wearing a black blazer with a red shirt underneath along with black pants.

"W-who are you?" Izuku asked as he took a step forward. He was scared yet was curious as to who this man was. He felt...familiar.

"The names Hyoudou! Issei Hyoudou!" Issei said as he walked towards Izuku and held a hand out.

"O-oh nice to meet you Mr. Hyoudou! I'm Izuku Midoriya" Izuku reciprocated the hand.

"Don't worry about formalities, Izuku. I never was a very serious person!" Issei said with a wide grin.

"U-um may I a-ask where we are, I-Issei?"

"Well the easiest way to put…" Issei looked like he was pondering something as he put his hand up to his chin. "We're in your subconscious!"

"W-w-what?!" Izuku said.

"Yep. That was one hell of a fight you put on there. I couldn't even use the second liberation of Ddraig until I was near death! Though it does give a huge kickback. Which is weird it didn't do that to me, but it did make me seriously tired." Issei continued to explain. "Oi Ddraig! Care to explain?"

"W-wait you know about Ddraig?!" Izuku asked seriously confused now.

"Of course I do! I was th-" Issei was cut off by a overwhelming heat that came from a loud voice.

"He was the previous Red Dragon Emperor. He was also the strongest one at that."

"Woah Ddraig! How come you never showed your true form in my subconscious!?" Issei said with a joking voice. Izuku, however, was at a loss for words. He definitely knew what his partner looked like, but this was seriously new to him.

"It seems I remembered most of my past so we should be able to unlock more powers, Izuku." Ddraig responded, completely ignoring Issei. "Anyways Issei how are you still here? I don't remember you dying with an ounce of hatred in you!"

"I tied a piece of my demonic power to the gauntlet so whoever got it would have a bit of a better start than I did. Besides, this kid is insane!" Issei said looking at Izuku. "You've surpassed what I couldn't do till a year after I got Ddraig all in a couple months!"

"M-may I ask how you died?" Izuku said with a slightly wavering voice at the compliment.

"Well, I just died of old age. I was a demon so I should've lived for eternity, but I ended up doing so many reckless things that it all caught up to me. However, I was one of the last devils. Eventually, Big Red, the leaders of each faction, and Ophis herself ended up pairing together to take away all powers from the demons, angels, deities, fallen angels, and so on until everyone was just...human again. However, those that were resurrected had a shorter life span than those who were just regular supernatural entities. Anyways blah blah blah, but look at the world now! Super powers are a reality! That's so freaking awesome!" Issei said getting completely off topic. "I'm sure it would be easy as hell to build a harem nowadays…" Issei said with a sly grin.

"Don't pay attention to him Izuku. His dream was the exact opposite of yours. He wanted to become the harem king and rule over thousands of women."

"Hey I ended up with exactly what I wanted! Though it was hard seeing those girls pass." Issei said with a dejected voice. "However, I promised myself that I would take care of the next user and since Azazel had been long dead I'm sure you have another mentor yourself?"

Izuku nodded. What in the actual hell was happening right now to him? His body was in tatters. His right arm was broken. His head was pounding and to top it all off he was now having a conversation with a harem king that was once a devil that wielded Ddraig and he was the strongest one in history?!

"Well then, I won't steal his thunder, but I want you to give him this. It will manifest itself once you wake up." Issei handed him a box with a green orb as well as a book that looked like a middle schooler made it.

"You certainly haven't gotten any better at life, eh Issei?"

"Oh shut it dragon. I'm helping out your user cut me some slack. I've spent two hundred years not being able to rest because you couldn't find a partner." Issei looking at dragon with a grin. "Anyways, this book will let your mentor know what your power is and how to get better at using it. I'm sure it'll all work out. Also, this orb was described to me as your "potential". Though my potential ruined a lot of people's lives…" Issei said looking to the side.

"How do I use it Issei?" Izuku said looking at the orb in the box. It looked...dead and empty.

"It will activate when you need it. When your desires are at their peak and you need your true potential to become who you want to be!" Issei said.

"What was your potential like Issei?" Izuku questioned.

"Welllll…..let's just say it may or may not have transfered into people causing them to become perverts and then store up erotic energy inside of it allowing me to summon my ultimate weapon, which was the boobs of my first wife." Issei said in one breath and quickly at that. This caused Izuku to blush slightly.

"Y-y-y-y-you don't think mine will d-d-d-do that right?!" Izuku said flustered.

"Oh no no! That only happened because I needed the power up. However, you on the other hand, have immense power inside of you. Whatever Ddraig saw in you...well, it's a hell of a lot stronger than I was at your age! Each Red Dragon Emperor is different and we all use different ways to train and power up. For you you fight for your desire and to protect those in need as well as the ones you care about. In a way me and you are more similar than I thought." Issei said as he ruffled Izuku's hair.

"T-thanks Issei!" Izuku said with a new found respect for his predecessor.

'Izuku! Izuku!'

'Midoriya! Wake up!'

Izuku felt his vision start to waver as he almost fell.

"Woah there!" Issei caught Izuku. "Well, looks like you have people waiting for you, right?"

"Y-yeah I need to see how it's going...as well as Kacchan." Izuku muttered that last part.

"Well, Izuku...you have the potential to be the strongest in the world. Perhaps in history. Though you have some pretty big shoes to fill. Anyways, the rest of my energy is fading and your friends are waiting for you back in reality. So this is it Izuku!"

At this Izuku stood up again as he watched Issei begin to fade from his vision.

"Now go out there and kick some ass kid! Show me the power that's been cultivated by One for All and the power of the Ddraig!" Issei said with a wide grin as he held his fist out for the green-haired boy.

"Right! I'll do my best Issei!" Izuku reciprocated the fist bump and the world around him started to become brighter and brighter. Ddraig watched on as his current and future partner began to fade.

'See ya, Issei…'

"Yeah...later Ddraig! Izuku!" Issei said as the last of his energy faded away.

"Izuku! Izuku!" Mei was shaking Izuku back and forth as he was in his bed. As she was doing so Mina walked into the room carrying ice and a sandwich.

"AH! MEI WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Mina yelled as she ran towards the pair and forced them apart.

"Oh Mina! Hey there!" Mei said with a wave.

"Why were you shaking Izuku?! Are you trying to make his injuries worse?" Mina said with a sigh and hand on her forehead.

"Oh...right." Mei said with a guilty smile. "Anyways, I just realized something as I was checking on him! He broke the limiter I gave him and that shouldn't be possible. There was a military grade quirk neutralizer in that bracelet and when I thought about it I got a little bit excited…"

'Military grade!? Who the hell is this girl?!' Mina thought to herself as she glanced at Izuku.

"R-right…" Mina responded. "WAIT!? He broke a military grade quirk neutralizer?! That's what they use to pacify villains and he broke it?"

"Yeah now you get why I reacted as I did. That baby of mine was super powerful and it took forever to even order it in and to convince Power Loader to let me build it and now...it's gone." Mei replied and looked a mixture of shocked, impressed, and sad. Her babies were her everything after all.

"He's...really reckless, right?" MIna mentioned to Mei.

"Yeah, but with that kind of power who wouldn't be? What is that old pre-quirk saying?" Mei said.

"With great power...comes great responsibility…" Another voice perked up and both girls jumped in their seats.

"Midori!"

"Izuku!"

At the sound of both of his real name yet also his cutesy nickname he blushed. He had never been called by his real name by anyone, but his mom. It made him nervous, but...he kinda liked it.

"Wah!" Izuku yelped as a pink blur all but tackled him.

"A-A-A-A-Ashido?!" Izuku was flustered.

"I was worried about you ya big dork!" Mina said as she replaced her hug with a pat on the head until she was practically shoved out of the way by the other pink haired girl.

"Midoriya! We need to talk now!" Izuku noticed that this time Mei didn't use his first name, but he shrugged it off.

XXXXXXXXX

After around an hour of conversation between the three. The final standings looked like this of the matches looked like this:

Team A vs Team D: Iida and MIdoriya win

Team B vs Team J: Mina and Ochaco win

Team C vs Team E: Tooru and Ojiro win

Team I vs Team F: Tokoyami and Sato win

Team H vs Team G: Yaoyorozu and Todoroki win

"Aw man I wish I could've seen it all go down…" Izuku said with a sign. During their conversation he had learned that not only had he been out for the rest of the school day, but they also told him Bakugou left with Kirishima not too long ago. He felt the desire to talk to his childhood "friend" about it, but he couldn't now. It would be wrong now. However, part of him was happy that his old friend and now rival had made a companion to lean on. It was certainly better than alienating himself towards everyone.

"Yeah, but Midori you were amazing! What was that power?!" Mina said as she acted out what Izuku did during the fight.

"Yes, that is also what I wish to know Midoriya…" Mei said somewhat ominously. "Because that power broke one of my most precious babies!" As Mei finished she held up a bag with Izuku's bracelet in two and the stones completely shattered.

"Wah! Hatsume I'm so sorry!" Izuku said as he genuinely looked like he was about to cry.

"Actually, Midoriya...do you know what this means?" Mei said while looking at the floor.

'Oh no here it comes! She's gonna want nothing to do with me after this! I'm so worthless when it comes to these things!'

For the first time in a while Izuku flinched back pretty harshly as he was expecting a hit to come his way.

Mina and Mei definitely noticed it. They both gave each other a knowing look and we're prepared to ask about it, but not now.

"This means...that my hero partner is probably the strongest student at this school!" Mei yelled out.

Izuku opened his eyes a little bit.

"Wait...W-W-W-W-WHAT?!" Izuku practically flailed his arms around.

"Well, I'm not saying you could beat everyone, actually with the way you are now your fighting style is weak compared to your classes and the other students, but in terms of raw power you surpass everyone! I tested this bracelet on the big three and even they couldn't activate their quirks!" Mei was practically foaming at the mouth at this. This was an obstacle she never thought she'd have to deal with. Someone that was too powerful for her own babies?! Unheard of!

"This means I'll work day and night to come up wi- OH! I GOT IT!" Mei thought of something on the spot and shot up out of her chair. Without another word she sprinted out of the room as fast as humanly possible.

"What just happened…" Mina sat staring at the door along with Izuku.

"Pfft...haha!" Mina bursted out in laughter at their friends antics. Soon Izuku followed her and joined her in her outburst. The pair sat like that for at least 5 minutes before calming down and wiping the tears from their eyes.

"Man she never changes does she?" Mina said with a grin.

"Did you know her before U.A. Mina?" Izuku asked the pink girl.

"Yeah, we went to the same middle school and she was in my class, but she took a lot of time off so she didn't connect with too many people. We only really even talked to each other because of our desire to go to U.A." Mina explained, but paused for a second. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"S-sure, what's up Ashido?" Izuku asked the pink girl.

"Well...what's the deal with you and Bakugou? I mean you don't have to tell me if you don't want to...I was just curious since you guys seem to have a personal grudge on each other. Plus, the things you guys said to each other during the fight." Izuku froze when she asked this. Had he really been that careless to let his emotions get the best of him? However, he was still hurt and suffering from his past. How could he not? When Ashido asked this because she had genuinely cared about him...well, it scared Izuku. The only person who had ever cared about him was his mom for almost his entire life. The boys he'd save from bullying never thought to even thank him. Of course, his "friends" including Bakugou had no care for him either. What if she turned on him and used this to bully him? What if she told everyone and they'd laugh at Izuku? What if she was only being friends with him in order to get this information on his past? What if-

"He's bullied me for my entire life…"

'Wait...WHAT!?' Izuku thought to himself. Why did he say that? Now Ashido was going to ridicule him for the rest of his life. Tears had started falling the minute she asked the question. However, instead of feeling the pain of his past he felt something else.

"Midoriya...I'm so sorry." Mina said as she placed a hand on top of his. If Izuku had the energy or will power to actually blush he might've, but right now he was so drained and surprised at the same time he didn't know what to do so he just gripped Mina's hand as she kept it there. Then...he just let it all out. From the beginning to the end, aside from All Might and all that, but he told her how his quirk developed late so he was called quirkless and bullied all his life. How Bakugou called him worthless constantly and how he told Izuku to kill himself. By the end of Izuku's story Mina couldn't really do anything. Her face looked a mix of mortified and depressed at the same time.

"I...Izuku, do you still consider him a friend after all that?" Mina said as she listened to the crying boy.

"Yes...I still think he can change and he's not all bad, but I!" Izuku stopped mid sentence. "I...I don't know." He said with a dejected tone.

"When I fought him back in the simulation and he used that...explosion attack in the hall...I realize now why I was able to unlock the next stage of my quirk then." Izuku said as he looked at Mina in the eyes with tears streaming down even more somehow. "It was my hatred...my anger and hate fueled my quirk. I think at least...no I know. I could feel it. My power grew with my desire to beat Kacchan. Ashido, I-I-I'm scared of my own power…"

On Mina's side she felt an incredible pain in her heart. This boy in front of her has been through more pain and suffering for his entire life than any one at U.A. and farther will experience. What hit her even harder was the parts she knew Izuku left out on purpose. Through what he told her though she pieced it together. She figured out with Izuku was scared of touch and why he had problems talking to people. She realized why he flinched when someone came at him fast or when they raised their hands. Yet in spite all of that he continued to push on through and stand up again. If it wasn't for the depressing atmosphere then her heart may have skipped a beat when she heard it. The fact this boy had the willpower to keep getting up was insane to her. Was she...developing feelings for Izuku? She felt the urge to protect him and care for him as he does for herself, Uraraka, and Iida. She felt anger for him and wanted to go teach Bakugou a lesson. Mina immediately shot up.

"A-Ashido?! W-where are y-you going?" Izuku was startled by the sudden jolt. His mind immediately went to the dark side. Had he messed this up? Had he said too much? However, Izuku justified that thinking a little too well.

'This is just how things are...I can't blame her.' He gave a weak smile.

"I'm going to go teach Bakugou a lesson!" Mina shouted as she began for the door.

"Ashido wait!" When Izuku heard that he sat up and grabbed Mina's hand as she made for the door.

"Izuku?" Mina said as she stopped and looked back.

"I-it's okay r-really! He hasn't done it in a long time so i-it doesn't bother me!"

"Isn't he constantly a jerk to you though?!" Mina was getting heated now. She couldn't believe someone can be this forgiving. She could forgive most people, but she absolutely hated bullies. Because mutant forms were more the norm now she never had to deal with others ganging up on her because of her looks. She was one of the most popular girls in middle school so maybe she didn't understand where Izuku was coming from.

"I-I promise it's fine really!" Izuku said as he gripped her hand a little harder.

Mina let out a long sigh.

"Alright alright! I won't do anything, but promise me you'll tell me if he does it again, alright?" Mina said giving Izuku a smile. "You're the class cinnamon roll, so we can't have you down!"

"C-c-c-c-c-cinnamon roll?!" Izuku became flustered. "W-who came up with that?!"

"Yours truly!" Mina said looking proud.

"W-w-w-why?!"

"Well-"

"DEKU!"

"MIDORIYA!"

Before Mina could finish Iida and Uraraka burst into the room.

"We heard you were awake so we came running!" Uraraka said slightly out of breath.

"I must apologize for running in the halls! I broke my own code! However, I'm grateful that you're okay!" Iida said with his sharp hand signals.

Izuku filled in his friends with a smile as they all became more and more impressed with as they all told their own versions of the fight to Izuku. He was deeply grateful for these three. His first real friends were now apart of his life for good and he realized that now. However, he could've sworn that Mina kept catching glances at him and it made his heart flutter a bit. He ignored it...for now.

"Hey Ddraig?" Izuku said as he was sitting on the beach waiting. "What kind of person was Issei?"

'You sure you wanna ask that?'

"Of course I do he was not only the last Red Dragon Emperor, but he was the strongest in history!"

'Well, don't blame me if your image of him gets ruined…' Ddraig became with a sigh. 'Issei was definitely one of the strongest people in history for sure. However, the way he got that power was because of the person he was. In short...he was a pervert. A massive pervert. He used my power to rip girls clothes off, talk to their boobs, and even used said boobs to charge up his power. It got so bad one time he literally almost killed a powerful high ranking devil just because she took her underwear off before her bra. Long story short he wanted a harem and eventually got one. For as many faults as he had he was a good man. He cared for his friends and was a natural leader when it came down to it. He had strong desires for love and his future that one of the only reasons he died 200 years ago was because he did so many reckless things it caught up with him. Well, that and the fact the supernatural doesn't really exist anymore thanks to the leaders of the factions. In any case if that kid saw potential in you then it means that you could very well be stronger than he was.'

"W-wow...I don't know whether to feel honored and proud or embarrassed and depressed…"

Ddraig let out a loud chuckle.

'That's how almost everyone felt when they first met him!' Ddraig continued. 'Anyways, you're completely different. Your entire power source itself is One for All. Without your desire to be a hero and the desire to protect those you care for I'd be useless. I chose you 15 years ago because I saw potential in you and so did Issei. So, let's show this world what we can do, right partner?'

"Yeah!" Izuku said with a proud smile. He didn't understand a lot of Ddraig and Issei's past, but he knew he could count on them both. Underneath Izuku's arm was the book that Issei had put together for his mentor, All Might. Izuku skimmed through it and was genuinely surprised. The training was ruthless and the abilities he would soon unlock would be insanely powerful. However, one caught his eye.

*Flashback*

"Hey Ddraig...what's the Juggernaut Drive and why is it crossed out in this book?" Izuku asked from his desk chair as he skimmed through the book.

At the mention of the Juggernaut Drive Ddraig let out a mixture of a gasp and a sigh.

'I won't go into right now, but I'll tell you one thing. The Juggernaut Drive is what took years off of Issei's life span. It's the strongest yet most dangerous form the sacred gear can take on. It used to harness all the anger and hatred of the past wielders since the Juggernaut Drive is what caused them all demise in the end. However, Issei set them all free and let them move on from their ties to me. Partner, you must understand this. If you let your anger and hatred take control and invoke the Juggernaut Drive...it's likely you could destroy all of Japan and more. It will also attract the...no don't worry about that for now. Just focus on training your sacred gear and being able to access the scale mail as quick as possible. The more you enhance One for All, the stronger we get.'

"O-oh alright Ddraig…" Izuku became lost in thought once more.

*End Flashback*

"Oi! Midoriya my boy!" A familiar voice called out from behind Izuku.

"All Might!" Izuku said with a smile as he brightened up.

"Hello my boy. Is there any reason you called me out here so abruptly?" The skeleton man asked.

"A-ah yes!" Izuku said as he lifted the book from under his arm. "Here! This is for you."

All Might put on a curious face.

"What is this? Did you...make this?" All Might said as he looked at the book. It had a leather binding that was held together by a small rope.

"Uh...Well...no, but the whole reasoning behind this is a long story…" Izuku said while scratching his head.

XXXXXXXXX

"So, you're telling me that in your dreams you met the previous user of your One-Off ability and he gave you his blessing and this book for me to help you with?" All Might said as he looked through the book.

"I-In short, yes." Izuku just now realized how crazy he sounded.

"So, where is your "potential"?" All Might asked.

"I...don't know?" Izuku asked as a question to himself and All Might. To this All Might just spat out blood.

"Most likely it's been absorbed into me, but won't activate until Izuku can handle the power or his desire to wield it is strong enough." Ddraig finally piped up.

"Wow...well this, this is a lot to take in my boy." All Might said as he closed the book. "Well I'll read through this and continue to advance your training. Anyways Young Midoriya you should be getting back home since it's getting late. Every good hero needs his sleep!"

"R-right!" Izuku said. However, he felt something was...off. He felt very light yet his motions seemed slow and lethargic. His eyelids started to shut forcefully and his vision began to blur until he felt himself give up. Before Izuku could fall All Might switched to his buff form to catch the boy.

"My boy!" All Might had been startled by this sudden turn of events, however his worry was soon displaced.

"All Might we need to talk…" Izuku's right hand showed a green orb that was now addressing his idol.

"Woah...I don't think I'll ever get used to this!" All Might said with a chuckle, but suddenly became serious. "Is this about Izuku?"

"Partially. First there is a subject in that book, called the Juggernaut Drive, that you must never let Izuku learn more about nor let him use it. Not under any circumstance. Disregard the terminology I'm using, but my past user was a devil under a powerful household so he had more than enough power to sustain the form and his human body for a period of time, but Izuku would be ripped to shreds the second he activated it. In fact, I'm 95% sure he would die almost immediately and a rampaging dragon would be let loose." Ddraig said as he explained their situation, but at the next topic he became even more serious. "I have yet to tell my partner this, but right now there is a unstoppable force among those threatening society. For centuries I have fought with my eternal rival Albion. He is my exact opposite and in every life I choose he is always present. Ever since I attached myself to Izuku when he was born I could feel the power slowly growing from Albion's presence. However, this time...it is not the pure essence that I've come to know over these years. Which leads me to one conclusion...Albion didn't choose his host. He was forced into a partnership by someone. Right now, like I said, Albion is a unstoppable force among the world of heroes, but the heroes also have an immovable object…"

Before Ddraig could even finish All Might knew what he meant.

"Izuku. Right?" All Might had guessed correctly.

"Correct. With your power and time limit remaining on the last of One for All inside you, you would surely die within minutes of fighting Albion in his corrupted state. I can't pinpoint who has him or where, but he's close and it's a malevolent force. We both must make sure Izuku grows as fast as possible before he comes face to face so take the information in the book to heart. If he does not unlock the scale mail by the time they meet...he will die."

Ddraigs words hit All Might like a train. Midoriya could die just because of his own path? What was even more alarming, however, was the mention of a power being forced upon someone. Only one person came to All Might's mind.

'He's finally returned eh? Midoriya my boy...I won't let you die!'

"Thank you for telling me Ddraig. I'll keep an eye out for any outliers in the crime scene."

"Right. Now, my I had to forcefully put my partner to sleep as his wounds need to heal. Would you mind returning him to his house?"

"Of course!" And with that the conversation was over as All Might sped back to Izuku's apartment.

Meanwhile above where the hero in training was there was someone watching them from above. Clad in white and black armor with a massive sword on his back a figure watched from above. His red eyes gleamed in the night sky as he stood up and watched All Might run with young boy in his arms.

"Found you…"
