Track 17

"Hi Ren" – Ren

Katsuki Bakugo ran till he found himself in the park, that park.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT PUSSY SHIT.

Shut up.

OH COME ON YOU SEE HER AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS. YOU SAID THANKYOU TO FUCKING DEKU. HE TOOK HER FROM YOU

No, shut up. She picked him because I was an asshole. I don't want her like that. I have Camie.

YOU CAN HAVE BOTH. YOU DESERVE BOTH. YOU'RE THE BEST THE BEST TAKES EVERYTHING.

No, it has to be earned. Nothing is owed to you.

THE CRUSH THAT DAM PEBBLE. SHOW HER. SHOW THEM ALL.

No, I am better than that. I can be better than that.

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE THE MEDICAITON THIS WEEK. NOW LOOK AT YOU. THE GREAT KATSUKI BAKUGO.

I am not great yet; I will be but not yet. I must prove it.

EXACTLY BY FORCE, REMEMBER CRUSH EVERYONE. THE WEAK HAVE NO PLACE STANDING WITH US. SHED THE DEAD WEIGHT.

They are not dead weight. Camie makes me better; Suki makes me better.

PLEASE CAMIE IS A USEFUL PIECE OF ASS. SUKI WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING LIKE YOUR WORTHLESS PARENTS. JUST MAKE THEM DISAPPEAR. COME BACK TO ME.

Fuck you go away. I won't be that person anymore. I won't be that monster. I will be better. I can be good.

TELL YOURSELF THAT. WE WILL SEE. YOU WILL COME BACK. I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE. YOU CAN RUN FROM EARLOBES AND DEKU AND WHOEVER ELSE BUT I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE.

Katsuki with trembling hands pulled out his phone and texted.

Mr. Explosive: Hey are you there?

Illusionary: Yea, you ok.

Mr. Explosive: No, I need you. I didn't take my meds this week.

Illusionary: Damnit Katsuki why baby? No never mind I have your back up bottle where are you?

Mr. Explosive: I am in the park.

Illusionary: I am on my way.

LOOK AT YOU. SO WEAK NOW. CALLING FOR HELP

Shut up, just shut up.

YOU CAN NEVER SHUT ME UP. YOU MAY QUIET ME FOR A BIT BUT I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE.

Time didn't matter he just sat on the bench till he felt her arms around him. She handed him a pill he just took it.

"I got you baby, I got you."

-End Track-

-Takoba Beach-

"Why does it have to be 5am?" Kyoka asked.

"Because in truth All-Might personally hates you." Izuku said with a smile.

"I knew it, lets go home this is a bust."

"Um, yea, no."

The came around the bend and saw it, mountains, and mountains of trash. On the pier there was the deflated form of All-Might leaning against a truck hold a cup of coffee. Izuku pulled Kyoka's hand and ran over. "Morning All-Might"

"Please young Midoriya, call Mr. Yagi in this form."

"Sorry."

"Good morning as well young Jiro."

"Morning Mr. Yagi."

"So, what happens now?" Izuku asked.

"Well, I wanted to talk with you well both of you. Tell me about your training, about your quirks."

"Well, mine is pretty straightforward it is called Earphone jacks. It gives me exceptional hearing and I can plug into walls to hear stuff in other places. I plan on have support gear that will allow me to amplify my heartbeat and some other sounds."

"I call mine Luminaire. I can absorb sound and can turn it into light. It can make explosions of light; I have been able to make hard forms like shield and ramps. My sensei has been pushing that part hard."

"Interesting, how long have you been training?"

"Sense I was about 6 or 7. It's a small Dojo called The Way. There was My Sensei and my brothers, Nick, Darius, and Chris. But it is just Sensei, Chris, and Me now."

"What happened to the other two?"

"Nick had to go home to take care of his brother, and Darius had to go home. He never said why. I did a lot of endurance training at first, martial arts, then strength and quirk. We would have to attack my sensei and try and get a pebble from his hand. We never did."

"And you young Jiro?"

"I never trained like him, Chris has taught me self-defense, I exercise regularly and lift some weights. But nothing like him."

"Ok then young Midoriya, what is your intentions then with your dojo."

"I would really like to keep training there I believe I can still learn from my master and well Chris is like out big brother, and I don't want to leave him alone yet."

"I can respect that. Now attack me."

"Huh?" Izuku responded.

"I want you to attack me, so I can see where you are at."

"Give me a second." Izuku stopped and concentrated on the sounds around him. Kyoka walked next to him wrapped her arms around him. She extended her jacks to his ears so he could hear her heart beating. All-Might watched and a small smile formed on his lips. Izuku opened his eyes they were shining brightly. "Ok I am ready."

"I won't move from this spot."

"Aww no pebble," Kyoka giggled stepping away.

Track 18

"Remember the Name" – Fort Minor

Izuku stripped off his shirt tossing it aside, removing his shoes as well. He took his stance.

He dashed forward, immediately using his quirk to form a shield. He feinted a right to mid kick, All-Might blocked. Responding with a hard left, Izuku ducked under going for a rising knee strike. He was rebuffed with a swift palm strike shattering his shield sending him tumbling back. He managed to regain his orientation and land of his feet before coming back in. Izuku went for everything his could, kicks, punches. All – Might was able to block or defend. He would launch counter strikes but he made sure to telegraph them so he could judge Izuku's responses.

Izuku was panting hard. He was running out of juice. He had just eaten a good body shot that sent him tumbling away. Rising to his feet, he dashed forward again. A sudden bright flash exploded in front of All-Might, followed by a hard light construct exploding out of the sand hitting him in his injured side. Causing him to stumble slightly, Izuku then used another construct to launch him self and threw absolutely everything into a leaping left hook, at the last second All-Might rocked his head back. Izuku missed. He saw a massive right come arcing down to his face and stop an inch away.

"And your out." All-Might said.

Izuku just nodded.

-End Track-

All-Might extended his hand offering a hand up, which Izuku took.

"Well?" Izuku asked.

"It was impressive, if it wasn't for my superior speed you would have landed quite a few hits. I was most impressed with your final attack, using your quirk in multiple ways to knock me off balance was impressive. If you hand landed your hit what was your next attack."

"I was going to wrap my had in light and try to take out your knee, if that had worked I would have tried to maybe get you in some sort of choke to knock you out. Highly unlikely but it wasn't going my way to begin with at distance."

"Impressive strategy."

"I am going to revise my initial plan for you. I think you are almost there physically. We should be able to get you there in 6 months. I want to meet this Sensei and brother of yours. What do you plan on telling them."

"I would like to tell Chris the truth, he really is a big brother to us."

"Family is important. Now young Jiro, it's your turn."

"WHHAATT?" Jiro yelled.
