3. Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Mechanical Embers

It had only been around half an hour before Mei, Izai and Ichika arrived at the dorms to class 1-A. There they had found Mr. Aizawa standing at the doorway to the inside looking as he usually does, tired and a neutral look on his face. Yet now that look of neutrality while not shown definitely has the feeling of unhappiness to it.

"What are you three doing here?" Aizawa asked with a hint of an upset tone to him.

Izai and Ichika clasped there hands together and bowed slightly while Mei was blissfully smiling Unfazed by anything happening. "We're sorry Mr. Aizawa, we couldn't convince her not to come here because you know her. Once her minds in the zone she can't be taken out." Both Izai and Ichika apologized and explained rapidly with worried expressions.

"Thank you for explaining but that doesn't answer my question. What are you doing here and-" Mr. Aizawa looked at the content of the wagon before looking back and continuing "What you brought over here?"

Izai and Ichika looked back at the wagon to see the rusted up and broken machine with great worry. How could they explain this without getting into more trouble than they seem to be getting into? Just tell him they found a machine in the woods inside UA, certainly not that could get them detention if lucky or expelled at worst. Before they could even think of a way to get themselves out of this situation however Mei began looking directly into Aizawa's face with a smile on her own.

"Pardon the intrusion and the sudden arrival Aizawa. However allow me to introduce MY NEW BABY!" Mei announced with high energy pointing her arms at the content of the cart.

Izai and Ichika were not amused at Mei's outburst. With energy like that they could risk making things worse. Not to mention she never exactly built the thing herself yet she claims as her own. This is trouble waiting to happen. However Mei would continue with her rambling on her new 'baby' and describe what happened.

"during an exploration of the forest I was called to something, something grand. My destiny was calling me and I found this bad boy under the Mugen Tree. From there we picked it up and carried it here were we can study and repair it." Mei exclaimed with high levels of excitement to her tone. Mr Aizawa on the other hand was shocked as to what he heard . A machine found under that tree, well sounded impossible nothing like that could be found until now seems a bit ludicrous. Not to mention the one that found it was a student from the support course, well that's just crazy, he thought.

"Now hold on a minute, are you telling me that this machine was found under THAT tree all this time and no one else even bothered to report it. I call that a bluff Ms. Hatsume."

"Oh but I assure you I did and best of all it spoke to me and my friends. That's how we found it in the first place."

"Okay now I know you're lying to me. There's no way that this thing can talk much less even function. Tell me the truth or else you're getting detention." Mr. Aizawa said with his eyes now red.

Izai and Ichika were now scared, even Mei looked a little uncomfortable around Aizawa now. It seemed as if the story was to insane for Aizawa to even by into even if for a second. Now it seemed as if the three would be punished for something that they never even lied about. Yet salvation would come for them in the voice from earlier. (which had been silent for most of the trip) would speak again to give advice about the situation.

"Ask him to take a closer look at me and I will make sure he will allow you to bring me in." The voice said with quit calmness. Mei and her friends looked at the machine and then back at Aizawa who didn't look fazed by the voice at all.

"Did you not hear the voice, it spoke again?" Izai asked with genuine confusion in his voice.

"What voice I didn't hear a thing." Mr. Aizawa answered with a raised eyebrow. He didn't hear the voice? That raised questions about this thing now more than ever.

"Well it told us that you should take a closer look at it perhaps with that you may be convinced. Hehe." Ichika asked with a nervous look on her face.

Normally Mr. Aizawa wouldn't bother with something so dumb however the machine did present questions. Questions Aizawa never though he would need answers to. So instead of denying it he sighed and began to walk to the wagon holding the deformed machine. He would kneel down and took a closer look, upon so he looked horrified. This machine looked ready to explode or at the very least fall apart. Why present this to class 1-A in person in this state? Sure they would repair it here but why not in the support courses classroom? Yet before he would dismiss this thing, something caught his eye. Around the head there seemed to be some movement, from a bug or something else he couldn't tell.

"Now you didn't tell me this thing could move. I thought it immobile."

"We thought so to, it wasn't moving at all earlier. Why ask is it twitching?" Ichika asked surprised to know this thing could move at all.

Aizawa, against his better judgment decided to move the head a little to get a better look. Upon further inspection he noticed that it was under the eyelid, or at least what he assumed to be the eyelid. Then that would mean the movement must be the eye twitching, though how it's doing that is beyond Mr. Aizawa. He then took one of his hands and began to open the eyelid a little to get a better look at what was happening. He noticed a purple iris with a bloodshot look around the rest of the eye. Whatever happened to this machine must've been pretty rough. The eye kept twitching and looking all around very unfocused like. That is until it looked at Aizawa himself witch then it would dilate into a tiny pupil and catch Aizawa in what looked like a trance.

The two would stare at each other for a while causing the other three to look at each other very worriedly. Did it paralyze him, shock him into a trance, what happened to him they wondered. Izai uncomfortable at what was going on broke the silence.

"Did Mr. Aizawa break? I-is he gonna me alright later today what happened?" Izai asked worried at the sight before them.

"I don't know Izai, I can't explain it to you. Maybe he's paralyzed?" Ichika answered scratching her head in confusion.

Eventually Aizawa and the machine would break eye contact and The Machine would close it's eye again while Aizawa would just stare for a little bit longer. He looked shocked at what he just saw, but no one could tell what caused such shock. He snapped out of it and began to stand back up again, were he sighed and looked at Mei and her friends.

"Alright I will allow you to bring this thing in BUT you will go to class immediately afterwords. Do I make myself clear?" Mr. Aizawa asked with a stern look on his face.

"Y-Yes sir but what did The Machine do to you? You looked frozen in time and honestly any new information on this thing can help us repair it." Ichika asked looking at both Mr. Aizawa and the machine with a raised eyebrow. Mr. Aizawa would simply look back at the machine with a soft expression on his face before answering.

"That information doesn't concern you students. Just get it in the dorm and get to class alright." Aizawa would answer walking away without even looking back at the trio, who where stunned at what happened with Mr. Aizawa and even more confused as to what The Machine showed. Izai looked back at the machine and began to ask a question to it.

"Okay machine answer us this why couldn't Mr. Aizawa hear you when you spoke to us and what did you show him exactly?"

"due to my state my abilities are greatly weakened so I can only speak to a certain amount of people at a time. As for what I showed him, I shall merely say I opened up a bit more of his past that he has forgotten about. Now then shall we set me up on the couch in the dorms living room or just stand out here asking pointless questions?" The voice of The Machine answered with his usual calm and collective tone.

Izai and Ichika sighed at that while Mei looked happy at the progress she could make on this thing. For gods sake's this thing seems to know Mr. Aizawa more personally than it's letting on to be. So Mei immediately begin towing the cart up to the main door while Ichika comes in to help pull the cart, and Izai opens up the doors for Mei and Ichika. Once they are in the dorms living room they see that it is relatively empty, shocking to say the least. They expected at least a few of the students of class 1-A to be in the dorms but apparently they either have all left or some are still asleep as unlikely as that is.

"Hey at least we don't have to explain this to class 1-A yet now come on move the cart to the couch." Izai said breaking the surprised Ichika and Mei out of there trance.

They pull the cart over so that way it was practically next to the couch. Once in position they begin lifting The Machine onto the couch and fix it positioning on the couch. Instead of laying down like a corpse they put it in a sitting position like how it was under the tree, the only major difference is that the legs would be in a more bent position like how one would sit normally in a chair unlike an outstretched position they where in before. After the deed was done the trio high five each other and began to leave the dorm for class. Well Izai and Ichika began to leave Mei on the other hand was still where she was and already began to shine with glee at the opportunity in front of her. The voice sighed and began to speak to Mei, who looked ready to repair right then and there, against Aizawa's order.

"You should head to class Mei I am a patient man and I'm wiling to wait the whole day to start repairs."

"Nonsense you need help and I will help as soon as I can, and that is RIGHT NOW!"

"NO, you would only upset Mr. Aizawa if you did and make you teachers worried at your absence. Besides you have good friends they would want to get to class with you instead."

"please they can wait a few hours for me to finish repair and upgrading you."

"Why are you so insistent on repairing me, and I don't need upgrades thank you. Izai Ichika care to help Mei out of the building?" The machine asked Mei's friend with a tired sounding tone.

Both listened to his request and practically pulled Mei off of him. She was flailing a little bit to get back to her 'baby' and fix them up as good as new, no better than new even. The two struggled to get Mei out the door, but before they could reach outside, The Machine said something that threw them off incredibly so.

"Be sure to keep me a secret from the staff and Deku. I would like to surprise them personally."

Those words the machine said hanged in the air for the three. This machine not only knows of Mr. Aizawa, at least supposedly, but also knows who Deku is. Thou does it mean the actual student with that hero name, or someone else? It did not matter now for they had left the building and where practically carrying Mei to the Support Course classroom. For now any questions they wanted to ask The Machine would have to wait until after school. Until that time came The Machine would rest and wait for there return.

Sometime would past until Mei would return to repair The Machine. Not happened while The Machine was waiting for Mei to return, all it did was listen to the outside world and think. It heard birds chirping, rustling of leaves, and the pattering of feet outside, weather those where students or small woodland creatures he did not know. What he did know was the Mei and Izai, of all people, came back to the dorms far earlier then they thought. Izai explained that apparently Mr. Aizawa convinced there teachers to let them out of class early to work on the 'Special Project' in class 1-A's dorm. The Machine figured something like that would happened but so soon after they left, not what they expected. For clarification it was only 2 hours after they left that they came back to help out. As for why Ichika couldn't show up, well Mr. Aizawa wasn't able to convince her teacher to let her go. Made sense since her quirk wouldn't be the most useful for the repairs but it was interesting to say the least.

Now as for what Mei and Izai where repairing for the machine would be there face because as they said 'it's easier to convince them when I can speak than not at all and struggle against some of them that I am sentient and told you to help me'. So they began repairs right away and already ran into a few problems. For starters the faces components where unlike anything seen at UA, hell in all of Japan. The eyes where made of something Mei couldn't figure out, and the jaw was a complete mess still filled with a few renegade vines caught between joints. However despite theses problems they where making progress on it. The horns where easy to repair, so they started there replacing the tip of the broken horn and changing wires and metal slabs on the other one. For Izai this was enough, but not for Mei, she went about and upgraded them turning them much thicker and having small canons in them that fired high electric charges out of them. At least that's what they're suppose to do no test had been made yet.

After that they moved onto the scalp and ear regions, which mainly had holes and tears. After removing the excess roots left over, and cleaning what little rust was there on the scalp, and the main point of rust being on the scalp, they began patching holes up in the back of the head. No upgrades where made there for Mei saw better upgrades elsewhere such as the front part of the head. The front unlike the back had to be completely removed due to the abundance of holes and tear on it. So once they had removed the slab of metal that was on the front they began molding a new piece of metal in the shape of the old one. In that time however Mei noticed the internal part of the skull. Now of course they deciphered that this thing was very human like however the skull, it was almost one to one that of a humans. It was unlike anything built today, truly advanced machinery must've been used to build this thing. Mei out of curiosity asked The Machine if she could take a look into the skull to get a better understanding of how they worked. The response from the machine was a hissing noise coming from the head and the skull opening up further revealing something truly stunning.

Inside the skull where the normal thing for a machine, wires computer chips and other more advanced components to. However the rest, wasn't anything machine but human, a rather identical image of the human brain was in the skull. Glowing lines covering the whole brain, little wires outside and even a small what looked like a core processor was in the back of the brain. Whether it was for processing information or felling movement, it was uncertain. Unfortunately for Mei she couldn't study further for the machine had closed his skull back up and stated she return to work as soon as possible. Mei was not happy with that however Izai insisted on listening otherwise they'd get nowhere.

They did however find something interesting while on repairs. On the right shoulder of the machine they found writing in what looked like military grade paint. It was very worn and many parts of the paint were just gone making whatever word was there hard to recognize. The good thing however is that what remained gave them just enough to understand what it said.

Proto- 12.

With that information they learned quite a bit on the machine. For one this thing was a prototype of a project of some sort, and it was the 12th one in this project. However many holes still remained, such as what the project entailed, where it was built and exactly what it's purpose was. At the very least however, they asked if they could call it Proto 12 to which The Machine stated it hadn't heard that name in a long time however accepted the name.

So the two continued repairs and after they finished with the top of the head by putting the new piece on, and giving The Machine a name, they moved to the most difficult piece of the head. The main front part, which was in total ruins, the jaw being broken many gashes across the face and even the eyes had to be repaired. Well more like cleaned for as soon as they began repairs on the eyelids Proto 12 stated that the eyes only needed a cleaning and that was all. However looking at them they needed replacement more than a through cleaning. Yet Mei knew that replacing such advanced eyes would be impossible with the technology at hand so against her own judgment that is what she did. As well as also giving them an upgrade, being able to see into Ultra Violet light can be of use in situations Mei insisted it. Proto 12 had no say in it and accepted the upgrades, though they didn't know how useful it was.

So now we are caught up with everything, the top of the head is repaired and cleaned as well as the horns, the forehead has been repaired slightly and the eyes have even been cleaned and upgraded by Mei's hands. Now they had begun repairs of the jaw, cheeks, and even nose which have been utterly hopeless as of now. The nose Mei wanted to upgrade but blew up in the process, not large mind you but enough to bring the nose back to square one. The cheeks wouldn't budge off the face and the jaw itself had to have the excess vines removed from within before repairs could be made. In this process most of the school day had ended and students were beginning to leave the school back to there dorms. This made Izai very nervous as well as Proto 12 voicing some concern on being noticed by Class 1-A earlier than he wanted. Mei on the other hand was ecstatic to show off the progress made to the class, in fact she wanted to run out and inform them now. Izai stopped her of course so for now it was not of concern.

As Mei repaired Proto 12 she began to grow curious of the machines background and asked him a question.

"So Proto 12, how did you find yourself down under the tree? And if it's not of concern are you a villain or a hero?"

"How I was down under the Mugen tree is from my quirk forcing my body above the sky and I landed there. As for being villain or hero? I am something far wilder that doesn't concern you Mei." The Machine answered with a cold tone in his voice. Mei did not bat an eye at that response. The Machine was stunned at that and pressed on with a question of his own.

"You aren't going to ask more about the fact I could very well be a villain and that doesn't concern you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe, you are an interesting woman Mei. Perhaps you will be of more use than I last thought." Proto 12 retorted with a smirk.

"What's that suppose to mean Proto 12? you plan on making her a slave or something?" Izai asked giving a worried look to Mei.

"Certainly not I am simply implying that I wasn't expecting her to answer like that, and perhaps she could be of use as more than a mechanic, perhaps a programmer or even reconnaissance."

"Ya sure whatever you say buddy. I got my eye on you so don't even try anything smart ass." Izai scoffed looking out the window of the dorm.

Proto 12 chuckled at that and allowed him to look out while Mei repaired. As Mei was putting a new bolt in for the jaw, far to large Proto 12 retorted, Izai's face suddenly shifted to concerned fear. Proto 12 out of curiosity questioned why Izai suddenly looked so worried.

"We have a problem coming right now. Class 1-A is here and they're about to enter the dorm."

"WHAT! It's to soon, my jaw isn't repaired yet I can't communicate to them. This is bad."

"Well what to we do then?"

"STALL THEM, I don't care for how long but keep them outside while Mei finishes my jaw. For the love of god Mei fix my jaw NOW!" Proto 12 demanded with fear in there tone.

Izai began bolting out to the door but before he could open it, the door slammed open on him as the students of class 1-A enter the dorm. They are unaware of Mei, her supplies, and Proto 12 in the living room. Mei herself didn't even care that class 1-A was now here far to early for Proto 12's liking, instead she kept fixing the jaw as best as she could. The door closed as Izai walked out from behind the door groaning from pain.

"Whoever slammed the door is an asshole. God now I'm gonna have a headache for the rest of the day." Izai stated rubbing his head looking down at the ground. One of the students of class 1-A, Bakugou turned around and walked right in front of Izai holding his shoulder tightly.

"The fuck did you just say to me extra?"

"You heard me diiii- hi Katsuki pleasure seeing you. Y-y-you know I didn't mean anything about that right heheheh." Izai said nervously, sweat dripping off his face. Bakugou was having none off it and threatened him by using his free hand and causing sparks to fly.

"Alright start talking, why the hell are you in our dorm? You better not give me an answer I don't like."

"Uh I'm only here to help Mei repair her 'baby' I have nothing to do with this." Izai answered sweating bullets and waving his hands defensively in the air.

That answer seemed to have gotten the classes attention as many of them, Bakugou included, turned over to the couch and saw Mei working on Proto 12's jaw unaware that she was being watched. Many were surprised at the site of this machine, while Bakugou and looked more pissed off and ready to break Proto 12 in half. Proto 12 could feel the aura and immediately felt in danger, since his jaw wasn't repaired he couldn't talk to them at all. Bakugou walked right up to Mei and pulled off Proto 12's body easily and pulled her right in front of him. His eyes narrowed with rage and he was preparing his free hand to explode once again.

"Alright start talking, why the fuck are you here and why'd you bring in your trash in our dorms?" He asked with a sneer in his tone. Mei looked a bit nervous at that but still smiled with glee at the recognition of her creation. Izuku, who was around the entrance helping Izai gain his composure, walked up to Bakugou and grabbed his shoulder getting his death glare right at him.

"Kacchan please don't call Mei's inventions trash. Though that is a good question, why are you here with your invention?" Izuku asked Mei and immediately began to shine with glee to answer the question.

"I'm glad you asked Midoriya-"

"OI, DON'T FORGET I ASKED FIRST!" Bakugou yelled as Mei for being oblivious to his earlier question only being answered when Izuku asked.

"Allow me to introduce you to my new baby, Proto 12!" Mei exclaimed with glee gesturing her arms over the Proto 12, who was still on the couch now being poked in the face by Kaminari. Proto 12 was also surrounded by other students from class 1-A, such as Mina Ashido, Tenya Iida, Ochako Uraraka, and Asui Tsuyu just to name a few of them around Proto 12.

"This baby has already shown me SO MUCH in the few hours I've worked on it. It's brain is like that of a humans, it had emotions, memories of a past beyond our knowledge, and best of all seems to show a variety of quirks all at once. This is a monumental moment in human history HAHAHAHA!" Mei explained with basic details and was excited with that last notion of Proto 12's abilities.

While Mei and Izai were relatively calm and happy at that notion, the rest of class 1-A turned back to her with worry. The only other person who could do something like that was All For One and here Mei proclaimed that this machine could have multiple quirks at once and even have untold power within. Whatever this thing had they thought it was a villain manipulating Mei to rebuild it. For that reason many looked uneasy at that statement however, Izuku looked incredibly upset at that statement.

"Now hold on how do you know it has many quirks at once Hatsume?"

"Well to be fair Midoriya we found this thing under the Mugen tree and it did seem to have done something to Mr. Aizawa as well as speak to us in our heads. In short it's a pretty fair statement that it has many quirks." Izai answered looking a little nervous at the looks at him. Izuku only looked more concerned at that statement.

"That doesn't help at all if anything that just reaffirms our worry of this thing being a villain. Proto 12 is it?" Izuku asked looking directly at Proto 12 while those around him were backing away in fear.

"That is true Midoriya and I don't like being called a villain. It's such a crude way to title someone you don't like nor trust."

"So you CAN speak in our minds, but what did you do the Mr. Aizawa? Better yet if you don't like being called a villain than what the hell are you?"

"Hmhmhmhhhahahaha, something beyond your societies understanding as more Mr. Aizawa I shall simply imply that memories play a big part in ones life." Proto 12 answered with a condescending tone and little in the way of answering properly to Izuku.

This did not make him happy and only seemed to have exacerbate the confusion and anger he feels to this thing. Izuku was going to ask more about what that meant when Bakugou walked up to Proto 12 with a hate filled look in his eyes. Mei looked worried as to what was going to happen next and asked not to hurt her baby. Bakugou didn't care and only began to crack his knuckles as if preparing to beat him up.

"Alright since you can't answer us strait then I'll just have to break you bit by bit and turn you into spare parts. Maybe then you won't answer in goddamn riddles." Bakugou stated putting his hand on Proto 12's face.

Yet instead of feeling cold metal or a warmed up metal from the sun, he felt a burning sensation. One that burned and seared right down to the bone on Bakugou's hand. He pulled his hand away screaming out in pain for a brief second.

"Ow what the FUCK that hurt! How did this thing do that?!" Bakugou screamed out looking directly at the machine with a pure blooded rage.

"Young Bakugou, just because I can't move doesn't mean I'm defenseless." Proto 12 retorted with a small faint chuckle.

Bakugou looked ready to blow a fuse at that statement, yet he smiled at the revelation that he could have some fun with this machine as a training dummy. Yet before he could begin to move Izuku moved in front of him along with Izai moving up beside him with a worried yet intrigued look on his face.

"Don't your DARE hurt Kacchan. You're gonna regret that you fowl villain." Izuku said with narrowed eyes.

"Um Midoriya I suggest to NOT antagonize Proto 12. He's just demonstrated that he isn't defenseless and god knows what other tricks it has to hurt you for getting to violent to it."

"Alright that's it, STAY OUTTA MY WAY DEKU! THIS THINGS GONNA REGRET BURNING MY FACE!" Bakugou yelled pushing Izuku away and striding towards Proto 12.

It looked as if Bakugou was about to burn and melt Proto 12's face off and Izuku, still angry from Bakugou's recent burn, insisted that even though he himself wants to hurt it, should think twice before doing so. Bakugou didn't care nor did he listen to his worry and was inches away from Proto 12's face and exploding it right off. Mei was screaming out not to hurt her baby, and Izai was looking worried that something worse was gonna happen.

Before Bakugou could actually touch Proto 12 however, they twitched there fingers a little and the room slowly began to shift. It whirred with a mechanical sense to it all, and little wire like movements were happening all around. The ground began turning dark and shifted with what looked like flames around. The walls became sky and buildings with the main flames licking the roof, which was darkened by smoke and something else. The whole room changed and shifted into what looked like an area on fire and torn apart.

Upon further inspection they saw blood around them and bodies far off but obscured through smoke and a dark presence. Guns could be heard firing along with screaming and the sound of steel clashing against steel. Voices could be heard commanding and screaming out orders, 'Push them back dammit' 'Keep firing' 'They won't last much longer.' just to name a few key ones. However one out of all of them sounded different, calm and stern but smooth and still yelling, yet they said caught there attention 'This shall be All For One's last stand people, keep his elites at bay for our greatest soldier to cripple him for All Might. FOR THE MILITIA!' they screamed out with vigor and courage. That voice got a lot of class 1-A stunned. Whatever this was must've been a war or something that caused All For One to be 'crippled', but what was the Militia and who was there greatest soldier that would cause it. Izuku looked around and back at Mei with a worried look on his face

"What the hell is this? Some trick, a false video, answer me Hatsume, what the hell is going on?"

"I'm not fully sure, perhaps it's not a trick but a memory. Proto 12 must be showing us one of it's memories. Judging by all of this it must be it's last one before they died." Mei answered with glee and a shimmer in there eyes.

"So you're telling me that this thing, Proto 12 was in some war against All For One? Then where the hell is this place, and why does it look so dark?"

"Considering where Hatsume found this thing I think it's safe to say that it is only able to show so much due to lack of power. Not to mention that smoke is covering the sky so that must be effecting this somehow." Iida who was silently watching this and whispering what was happening to Uraraka, answered up with on point analysis.

Izuku nodded with agreement to that, though felt it didn't answer the whole question. Before he could prone on anymore however, a loud bang was heard from the left side of the room. Following this and explosion could be seen that reached far above the smoke along with something coming out of the explosion. At first it looked like shrapnel however the closer it got the more human it looked. Eventually it would appear crashing among the ground, causing large gashes to form around the ground they hit and they would fall slump next to the edge of whatever platform they were on. Class 1-A as well as Mei and Izai stared at the figure for a little bit before hearing a sinister laughter coming from where the explosion was. They turned and found HIM, All For One striding over to the figure with a torn up suit and gashes of there arms. Yet it went further than that, they saw that the face looked bloodied and an eye was closed, the legs to looked bad but still not as bad as the figure.

"In all honesty machine I am impressed you thought that this would work. You are weak and battered, you will be easy to crush as that PATHETIC hero you called Nana. Though I must applaud your attempt to crush what I have built for it is one hell of a moronic move." All For One stated putting his arms out to the machine in a sort of mocking gesture.

At this point the figure had gotten back up, staggering and badly beaten. They were breathing heavily and spat a dark blood out, holding onto there right arm which was bloodied and torn of flesh. It was at this moment did those in view of this realize that the figure, through all the darkness and grim they could see who the figure was. The eyes burned a purple hew with a dilated pupils, the same as Proto 12's eyes. This figure was Proto 12, there greatest warrior was the very machine that was sitting on the couch projecting all of this. This must've been him younger, yet not healthy at all. He looked badly beaten, holding onto his right arm and his legs not being straight at all, bared bloodied teeth through a sneering mouth. His horns had the same missing part as Mei and Izai found him in and sparks were flying off of there body and what looked like lightning coursing through there very body. The whole room was stunned at this moment, for Proto 12 was staring down the worlds most dangerous villain of all time without fear, but rage. They growled at what All For One had said earlier and spoke back with a slightly raspy voice but it was still clear and direct as to what they meant.

"Don't you DARE mention her name you monster. I will not be easy to kill, nor an addition to your damn collection. I WILL BREAK YOU YOU BASTARD AND BURN YOUR FUCKING EMPIRE TO ASH!" Memory Proto 12 yelled with so much rage and fury the very ground around them cracked from the rage.

"Admirable that you believe such false hope, but it will do you no good. You are powerless against me, I AM UNKILLABLE and will NOT be broken by you! You and your pathetic Militia with DIE THIS DAY!"

"Perhaps, but I assure you beast, we are as unkillable as you. Like the phoenix itself, we will rise from any ashes you force us into. Unlike you which with wither and rot into obscurity!" Proto 12 retorted with a sneer and smile on there face.

After that retort Proto 12 lunged at All For One and punched him right in the face causing blood to spill. Then a lower blow to the gut and a high kick to the face one more. All For One fought back with a slash of strange tendrils out at Proto 12. many would hit but many more missed entirely only causing a small amount of pain for Proto 12. they repaid in kindness by making a fire blast to All For One's arm, burning it in the blast. It would heal up and be brought back with a broken arm causing Proto 12 to scream in pain. He then got punched in the face with a massive fist to the face causing a large dent to form and him to be brought back skidding on the ground. Instead of screaming more Proto 12 simply laughed and looked back at All For One with a healed up arm not showing any sign of damage.

"It's gonna take a hell of a lot more than that to kill me imbecile.

"Then I shall take you out with one last blast. This one WILL kill you and I can finally end your Militias pathetic reign." All For One sneered back with a scoff. Proto 12 sighed heavily and shook there head at that

"If I die today then I'll take you with me bastard. Prepare for DEATH ALL FOR ONE-ONE-ONE-ONE-ONE-ONE!" Proto 12 began to stutter and glitch.

In fact the whole room began to shift and turn. The window began to show the outside world and the ground became carpeting once more. All For One, Proto 12 and others in the distance were slowly fading out. Eventually the whole turned back to normal and Proto 12 was steaming. A small explosion was heard and smoke was flowing outside there body. They seemed in pain after showing that.

"Damn I guess that was to much power to handle for me." They said wincing from the pain.

The whole room was silent, Mei looked ecstatic at the new information on Proto 12's past, Izai was impressed that he insulted All For One without a bit of fear. Everyone else however just looked more confused. For one that memory seemed off, like it wasn't fully registered or only showed key moment out of order. Of course the only ones who noticed that at it's fullest were Iida, Izuku, and Shoto of all people. Secondly the fact that Proto 12 was harmed when doing this didn't make any sense to them. Bakugou, who was stunned by the sudden memory, snapped out of it and was more pissed off than before.

"Alright start talking tin can, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!? And DON'T go speaking some bullshit about it and answer PROPERLY!"

"Bakugou calm down, if you didn't hear me that was one of it's memories and-"

"SHUT IT FOUR EYES I ALREADY KNOW THAT! What I want to know is why it showed that to us and even why the FUCK did it look so unfinished!" Bakugou yelled with his hand on Proto 12's face once again ready to blow it up.

"I will answer in time Bakugou, for now calm the hell down and perhaps I shall explain myself."

"I'll calm down when you actually give me an answer tin can."

"Don't call me a tin can imbecile."

"THEN ANSWER DAMMIT WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?"

"Kacchan calm down and he will ans-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP DEKU I NEED ANSWERS NOW!"

"I've had enough of this Bakugou get away from Proto 12 and I shall explain." A voice from the entryway said with a stern rather furious tone.

Everyone looked back to see who it was and it was Mr. Aizawa, not looking happy at all. His eyes were red clearly showing that his quirk was active and he had a grimace on his face. Most of class 1-A were surprised by his appearance, and Izai and Mei were showing respect to the teacher. Mr. Aizawa sighed heavily and looked back at the group eyes back to normal before explaining the situation.

"As you can no doubt tell, this machine is Hatsume's 'special project' at first I thought it was a unique strand of robotic, but after that and what it showed me it has become clear. This thing, Proto 12 is a weapon, a machine built to destroy."

"Now hold on a minute if that's the case then why was it fighting All For One? Better yet what was going on with that memory thing?"

"Quite down and I'll tell you. To explain I first thought it was a weapon but with that memory I now doubt it's purpose. Perhaps it was built as a weapon but went against it's own coding. As for why it was fighting All For One, that was its target I'm guessing, and for the strange jumps and out of place moments, my guess is that it simply was struggling to show it's memories like that. Am I correct Proto 12?" Mr. Aizawa explained then asked looking directly at Proto 12, who was still steaming from the explosion.

"You aren't fully wrong nor right. Due to my condition THAT quirk of showing my memories like that wasn't working at full capacity so I had to improvise. However All For One is more than just a target, more to that story than you'd believe. Also yes that memory wasn't wrong I really did fight All For One before getting stuck under Mugen Tree."

"So you really did fight All For One without any fear? That's so manly dude." Kirishima said tearing up a little at that revelation. Proto 12 sighed at that and gave a response in return.

"Calm down red, it's not that impressive anyways. Besides that wasn't even the only time I fought him."

"YOU FOUGHT HIM MORE THAN ONCE!? That's even manlier Proto 12." Kirishima yelled in surprise of that notion. Mr. Aizawa looked at Kirishima with a stern look on his face clearly showing he wasn't happy being disrupted.

"Anyways with this information I think it's safe to say that this thing should be kept on the premises of UA." Mr. Aizawa said calmly.

Most of the group looked shocked that that was the plan for this thing. Why keep it in UA, better yet the way that was said seemed to have hinted that it was going to be hidden. No one knew why that was the case and some spoke out about the notion, specifically Iida.

"Mr Aizawa I must question your reasoning here. Why must this thing be kept in UA? Would it not be better to tell the public about this things existence instead? Better yet have other mechanic repair this thing instead of a UA student. I can't help but feel you are making a stupid decision with Proto 12."

"Did you forget that this thing fought All For One. If it were known to the public not only would panic begin that someone or something out there made a machine that can use quirks, but many villains may use that opportunity to use this thing against us. You must understand Iida this is for the best to keep not just UA safe from prying eyes, but the whole country. we're not even sure where this thing came from much less why it was sent to fight All For One."

"I understand Mr. Aizawa forgive me for speaking out of place." Iida apologized bowing down at Mr Aizawa.

Mr Aizawa nodded at that then looked over to Mei and Izai. They both looked nervous yet Mei still kept her usual happy face up looking gitty to continue working with Proto 12's repairs. Mr. Aizawa sighed and looked back at Proto 12 still steaming though far less this time. Proto 12's eyes were looking from one window to the other then met up with Mr. Aizawa's.

"If you need my opinion on repairs I would like my jaw to be repaired still. Besides it's almost complete and would be a waste of time to not finish it." Proto 12 said looking at Mei and Izai who in turn looked back at Mr. Aizawa hoping for an answer

"Very well I will allow you to repair there jaw but that's it. After that you will go to your dorms and rest up for more repairs tomorrow. I will allow you to continue working on repairs to Proto 12 with some help from class 1-A. Is that understood you two?" Mr. Aizawa asked with a stern look on his face.

Mei and Izai agreed to that and immediately began to work on Proto 12, where Bakugou was now reluctantly off of him. Mr. Aizawa then turned to the res of class 1-A and stated that there was someone here for Izuku. He walked a little to the corner and revealed that Eri was behind him this whole time. She looked a little nervous as to what was going on however lit up when she saw Izuku come to her and great her happily. Mr. Aizawa smiled at that then turned to look at Tsuyu.

"Tsuyu if were to be so kind to get Eri out of here and treat her to something upstairs real quick. I have to speak with Midoriya in private real quick."

"Of course Mr. Aizawa, lets have some fun Eri kero." Tsuyu beckoned Eri to her.

Eri went and the two went up stairs while everyone else, now fully curious began to ask Proto 12 some questions. Not as if he would answer the more personal ones, yet he did answer a few. However Izuku and Mr. Aizawa would instead walk outside real quick for a private conversation. Izuku looked nervous as Mr. Aizawa stared him down with his usual look. He looked back inside to make sure no one was looking and when the coast was clear began to speak with Midoriya.

"I feel as if I should explain myself problem child, back when I allowed Hatsume to bring Proto 12 in here the machine showed me something."

"What was it?"

"I'm not sure honestly, it was like I in a void and a voice pierced the darkness speaking to me. Stating that I have forgotten to easily and that the Militia would never forget someone. Tell me Midoriya did this thing show off what the Militia is?"

"Not exactly though a voice did say something about glory for the Militia. Do you have any idea what this Militia is?"

"It's an organization no doubt para military probably. Though if this is the second time I have a feeling that whatever the Militia is, was the organization it worked for. Weather they were a villain group or something else we'll have to wait and see if it shows anything else about it."

"I understand sir, however what about the rest of the teachers of All Might? Do they know of Proto 12?" Izuku asked making Mr. Aizawa look down slightly upset.

"No I haven't yet, I was to busy trying to find any evidence on Proto 12 and teaching you young heroes. However I did make plans to speak to them on the matter of this thing. Him being kept on premises isn't official yet and All Might was going to meet him tomorrow. He along with Principle Nezu are the only ones I've truly spoke anything about. Neither know for sure so a meeting shall be held tomorrow to discuss it." Izuku nodded at that and Mr. Aizawa added something. "One more thing, if this thing Proto 12 reveals anything else on it's past to you, inform us immediately. Any new information on it's past will help us in the future understand, problem child."

"Yes sir I won't let you down." Izuku said looking serious about this matter. Mr. Aizawa chuckled slightly before saying one last thing to Izuku for the night.

"Good to here, now go on and get some rest. A lot will be going in the morning after all and you'll your rest." Mr. Aizawa said gesturing to the door.

Izuku nodded and walked in while Mr. Aizawa stayed outside and looked in through the window. He aw Proto 12 talking with the students and, what he could guess, was insulting Bakugou in some way cause he was yelling at him for something. Whatever was going on inside was definitely interesting to say the least yet it still worried Mr. Aizawa. He sighed and began to think to himself 'Proto 12 why do you remind me of someone?' He asked himself as he turned to look out to the view. The sun was setting in the distance and was making a nice orange glow begin to grow across the sky. The view was beautiful and yet something spoke out, as if calling to those that were watching. It seemed like a warning, perhaps a cry for help, Mr. Aizawa did not know. All he did know was that this calling sounded familiar, almost like Proto 12. A figure could even be seen just outside the dorms looking exactly like the younger version of Proto 12. it nodded at Mr. Aizawa and he nodded back before it faded away from sight.

Mr. Aizawa looked around to see where it went and sighed he didn't know what that was. He hoped that in the near future more light could be shed on Proto 12. he took one last look at the sunset before going into the dorms for the night. Whatever happens tomorrow would be one hell of a ride. Yet before the day is to arrive, those tormented must experience a long night, comforted by the memories of a machine.
