Chapter 3: Heroic Meeting
Bakugo was trying to fall asleep. It was hard due his entire day. After all discovering someone he knew since childhood getting his body stolen by a villain right after getting attacked by another villain is nothing someone could easily sleep on.
And Bill's words to him still rang in his head.
She grunted and tried to fall asleep.
He closed his eyes and suddenly his entire room turned black and white.
"What the fuck!" he yelled.
"Congrats on finally falling asleep Sparky Sparky Boom Man!" said a voice.
He turned around and saw Bill.
However he quickly realized something.
"You're Cipher!" Bakugo muttered.
"You got that right! Don't worry I don't need another meat puppet!" said Bill Cipher, "The one right I have right now is working just fine!"
"Then why are you here?" asked Bakugo, "Still want me to join you?"
"Eh… you don't seem like the type." Said Bill, "But something else irked me about you… and I think I got it! You think everyone thinks the way you do."
"What does that mean?" asked Bakugo.
"You honestly think that little cinnamon roll looks down on you?" asked Bill.
"He does!" yelled Bakugo.
Bill stared laughing.
"I'm going to teach you a little thing about empathy!" said Bill.
"What?" asked Bakugo.
That was when everything shifted to a forest… and he quickly recognized that day. The day he fell off the log…
But it wasn't from his perspective… it was from Izuku's. He couldn't move or do anything… just watch from his eyes.
Then he felt it… worry and concern that weren't his own.
It wasn't just seeing things form his perceptive, it was feeling the emotions he felt at the time.
He went through out the various moments of Izuku's life.
Sometimes it was in their childhood hanging out and feeling the admiration that Izuku held for him, other times after they were no longer friends and him trying to defend someone from hurting someone but some of them didn't have anything to do with him.
Such as Izuku watching All Might's debut video.
He felt Izuku's admiration for All Might … and that it felt much different than the admiration Bakugo felt for All Might.
Eventually he got to the other day… when he watched himself blow up Izuku's notebook, tossed it out the window and gave him that suggestion about jumping off the roof.
"I think that's enough for now! But get ready for round two!" called out Bill's voice.
Bakugo found himself in his room, he jolted up breathing heavily.
He was about to put his hand to his face and that was when he froze…
Written on his hand was a message that read "The dream was real- Bill"
Then he noticed something written on his wrist.
"Look what I did to your other hand."
He looked at his other hand… drawn on it was the shape of a turkey with the message "Look a turkey!"
"What the fuck…" he muttered.
At the Midoriya apartment, Izuku spent all night thinking.
There really not much to do.
However one thing he realized was that it was Mabel's name… the name Mabel Pines sounded somewhat familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He decided to get up despite the fact he literally couldn't sleep.
Besides his mother had probably been up for a while.
He went through the doors to find his puppet.
When he enter the living room, he was tackle hugged by Mabel.
"Izuku!" she cheered.
"Oh… hey Mabel…" he said blushing.
He knew it would be weird calling her by her family name for two reasons one was that there were four of them, and the other was the fact that four were clearly American meaning the four of them would clearly prefer their first names.
"I made you something this morning! Don't worry you'll love it." Said Mabel.
She dragged him to the table where he found there were three puppets on the table. All four of them looked like mini versions of him. Each one wearing a different shirt, one was wearing his school uniform, the second was dressed in a little All Might t-shirt and the last was dressed in a t-shirt that had "t-shirt" written on it.
"It's better than using that old beaten up bunny… even if it fits you to a t!" said Mabel.
"Wow thanks! " said Izuku then he realized something, "Wait… didn't you say something about being corporal for just a few minutes a day?"
"I'm master of arts and crafts!" said Mabel.
"She made a very realistic wax figure of me in less than a day…" said Stan form the couch, "Making three little puppets of you is easy!"
He put the puppet wearing his school uniform.
"Morning mom!" said Izuku using the puppet to talk to his mom.
"Good morning." Sighed Inko.
Then she saw he was wearing the puppet with his school uniform.
"Izuku… are you sure you want to go to school?" asked Inko.
"She's right." Said Ford, "You should adjust to what's going on…"
"Knowing Bill he'll probably lay low for a while." Said Dipper.
"Also if the two nerds are telling you should stay home, you should stay home." Said Stan.
"I'll call in sick soon." Said Inko.
"Thanks." Said Izuku.
He switched puppets to the one wearing the "T-Shirt" shirt.
"By the way I was thinking… Mabel your name sounds very familiar for some reason." Said Izuku.
Mabel started laughing.
"You two should tell him first." Said Mabel.
"Tell me what?" asked Izuku.
"Expect for Mabel, the names we gave you were nicknames." Said Ford.
"Really?" asked Izuku.
"Ford is short for Stanford." Said Ford.
"And my real name is Mason." Said Dipper.
"He has a birthmark shape like the Big Dipper on his forehead…" explained Mabel.
"Stanford and Mason…" said Izuku.
Then it hit him like a sledge hammer.
"Mason and Stanford Pines!" yelled Izuku, "Are you really Mason Pines and Stanford Pines!"
Then it hit Izuku again.
"Mabel Pines-Williams!" yelled Izuku.
"Izuku is everything all right?" asked Inko.
"You're THAT Pines family!" yelled Izuku.
"That Pines family?" asked Inko.
"One of the most important families in the history of quirks!" yelled Izuku, "Mason and Stanford were the ones that discovered much of what we know about quirks today! And Mabel! She's the Fighting Mama! One of the biggest fighters for quirk rights back when they were first appearing! She led and army of lumberjacks against an anti-quirk riot!"
"Lumberjacks?" asked Inko.
"The town it happened is a small town in the pacific northwest." Said Ford.
"Oh… I see…" said Inko.
"How… just…" said Izuku.
"Calm down kid… I know you don't need to breathe any more, but calm down." Said Stan.
"We don't have any memories from after the ritual." Said Dipper.
"Really?" asked Izuku.
'When I say 2015 represent! I meant it." Said Mabel.
"It sucks but what you going to do." Said Stan.
"Uh…" said Izuku.
"Yeah… I'm the odd one out." Said Stan, "The best I get is mentioned on Ford's Wikipedia page."
"(Which we've been through is a good thing…)" muttered Ford.
"(Yeah, yeah…)" muttered Stan.
That was when the phone rang.
Inko answered as she was the only one who could. Though it was clear none of them knew who it could be.
"Hello?" answered Inko.
"Hello." Said a rather cheerful voice on the other end, "Am I speaking to Inko Midoriya."
"Yes, this is her." Said Inko, "Who is this?"
"Principal Nezu from UA." Said the voice on the other end who was indeed the principal.
"Is this about my son's application?" she asked.
"No… it's not." Responded the Principal, "But it does involve your son. I'm sure you've heard that our entire staff is made up of pro heroes, including myself"
"Of course." Said Inko.
"Well you see, I have a rare privilege that is only shared by a handful of heroes in the world." Said Nezu, "The knowledge of the entity known as Bill Cipher."
"You know about him?" asked Inko.
"Hm… so I take it that the Spirits of the Pines family has made contact or are there." Said Nezu.
"How…" said Inko.
"As I said, I know all about Bill." Explained Nezu, "Also they're very trustworthy… for the most part… if the stories I heard about Stan are true you might want to keep an eye on your wallet… even if he can only be corporal for a few minutes a day."
"What?" asked Inko.
"You'll understand later." Said Nezu.
Inko looked at Stan for a few seconds then focused back to the call.
"I'll send a car for you and your son later. Afterall this is something we need to discuss." Said Nezu.
"Of course." Said Inko unsure how to react to everything.
"You should bring the Pines with you." Said Nezu.
"I will." Said Inko.
"I'm sorry this happened to your son, but I promise you, I will you as much as I can finding your son's body." Said Nezu.
There was an awkward silence.
"Living body." corrected Nezu.
"I know… it just sounded…" said Inko.
"I completely understand… usually that sentence does have darker connotations." Said Nezu.
"It's okay…" said Inko.
"I will see all of you later then." Said Nezu.
The call ended.
"Who was that." Said Izuku.
"That was Principal Nezu… he knows about Cipher." Said Inko.
"What!" yelled Izuku in shock.
"Oh yes, I believe Nezu was one of the heroes that Marty contacted about Bill." Said Ford.
"Marty?" asked Inko.
"Dipper's great-great-grandson. He's the patriarch of the modern Pines family." Said Ford.
"Wait your decadents know about him?" asked Izuku.
"Of course." Said Stan.
"It would make sense to carry the story throughout the years." Said Ford.
"But I mean…" said Izuku.
"You know the town we're from Gravity Falls?" asked Mabel.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
"It's the paranormal capital of the world." Said Mabel.
"What?" asked Izuku and Inko.
"Yeah… the paranormal exists." Said Dipper.
"These two nerds studied them." Said Stan.
"Ghosts, goblins, ghouls, weird things you've never heard of!" said Mabel, "If it's weird they've studied it."
"From what we can tell, to the world our other selves' research on quirks was groundbreaking… but to them it was just another day." Said Ford.
"What?" asked Izuku.
"You know maybe we should explain everything later…" said Dipper looking at Izuku's very confused face.
"Okay…" said Izuku who wasn't sure how to react to all this.
Sometime later in Aldera JR High, the homeroom teacher was checking the students.
"And Midoriya is absent." Said the teacher.
"He's absent really?" asked one of the classmates.
"Considering he's now a puppet it makes sense he's absent." Said another.
"Wow… how pathetic is that." Said yet another.
Bakugo on the other hand just gritted his teeth and looked down.
The memories of the dream was still going on his head.
Sometime later… a car drove up to the school known a UA.
They discovered a huge problem on the car ride.
The Pines although they were incorporeal, there was something about them that let them ride in vehicles. Like maybe a sense of it or something else…
And whatever it was, Izuku didn't that, whatever it was.
For the first few blocks he was dangling from the car, only being held by his hand that was somewhat corporeal due to the puppet.
Thankfully when the car stopped at a stop light Stan and Mabel grabbed him and held him in the car to make sure it didn't happen again.
Though it was even more awkward as they decided to be invisible during the car ride.
"So Inko had to watch as the puppet her son inhabited was awkwardly force to the back of the car seat, then awkwardly float in a weird position as he was being held by invisible spirits.
"Why did that happen." Said Izuku once they were out of the car.
"Well despite being souls, we're very different autonomy wise" said Ford, "Also there's another big reason I'll explain later..."
"Now's not the time for this." Said Stan.
"Um... do you think you can turn visible again?" asked Inko.
It was clear the woman was stressed out by everything.
"It's okay… it's going to be okay…" said Izuku as the Pines became visible again.
And yes, they did learn that when they were invisible that Izuku could see them.
They heard a throat clear.
They looked down and saw the animal of unknown species.
"Mrs. Midoriya, Mr. Midoriya." Said Nezu.
"You're Nezu!" said Izuku trying to not to freak out at meeting the principal/hero.
"Oh he's so cute!" said Mabel, "I want to pet him! Though I used up today's corporal time…"
"Mabel you can't pet him!" said Dipper, "He's a hero and a school principal!"
"It's quite all right!" laughed Nezu, "Though wanting to be petted by the spirit of the girl who grew up to be the Fighting Mama should be an honor."
Nezu gave Inko and Izuku passes (as they weren't sure if Izuku's puppet would set off the security measures). As they walked through the school Izuku was in awe.
"I can't believe it!" said Izuku, "I'm really here at UA!"
Nezu chuckled at the boy's reaction.
"I wish it was on better circumstances." Said Nezu.
"Hey… where the students." Said Stan.
"Seriously…" muttered Ford.
"It's quite all right. I gave them the day off." Said Nezu.
"Wait… why?" asked Izuku.
"Because the threat of Bill Cipher needs to be addressed by the entire staff." Said Nezu.
"What!" said Izuku, "No way!"
In the staff meeting room, the entire staff waited. Classes were canceled because of a villains that was a big threat.
All Might was there as well. He wasn't a member of the staff yet, he wasn't going to start for another year.
But he had gotten a call from Nezu the day before…
(Flashback)
All Might was breathing heavily, he had just stopped a villain but it really cut into his time.
That was when he heard "A phone call is here! A phone call is here! A phone call is here!"
Yes… that's really is his ring tone.
He saw that it was Nezu.
"Is everything all right?" asked All Might figuring it might have something to do with his paper work.
"Don't worry this has nothing with your paper work." Said Nezu.
"I hate it when you do that." Muttered All Might.
"Actually an extremely dangerous villain has made a move." Said Nezu, "I'm planning for a staff meeting tomorrow and hopefully the victim and his mother will be able to attend."
"Victim?" asked All Might.
"Yes, it was a body snatcher." Said Nezu, "However the way his powers work his victim was removed from his body and is able to communicate by the use of possessing puppets."
"What villain is it?" asked All Might.
"It's one that the public doesn't know about… one that only a chosen few know about." Said Nezu.
All Might knew it couldn't be HIM because of various reasons. However…
"Is he on the same level as…" said All Might.
"No he isn't…" said Nezu, "He's far worse…"
All Might began to cough up blood in shock.
Once he was done coughing up blood, he agreed to be at the meeting.
After all if there was a villain worse than him, then the Symbol of Peace had to be there.
(End of Flashback)
Each of the staff were given packets about Bill but none of them read them yet, after all if it was threat that was worse canceling classes over it would be best to have them guided through what was going on.
Or taking a nap as one of them was doing in a yellow sleeping bag, he was the hero Eraserhead.
"So…" said All Might eyeing the teacher in the sleeping bag.
"This is normal…" said a blonde man with a weird hairstyle and some sort of speaker on his neck who was hero by the name of Present Mic.
Nezu came in with their guests.
All of the teachers informed about how Izuku could only communicate via puppets, but seeing the floating puppet, even with knowledge and living in a world full of super powers seeing it was just concerning.
Though it did get a little funny with what happened next.
"I can't believe it!" he cried out, "I'm in the same room as so many pro heroes!"
He began to squee as he went through the various heroes he recognized.
"Sorry… my son is a big hero fan." Said Inko.
"Wait! All Might is here!" yelled Izuku in shock.
All Might laughed at the boy's reaction.
"I invited him because of how big a threat Bill Cipher is." Said Nezu.
"If you like I could give you an autograph when this is over." Said All Might.
Izuku calmed down from his fanboying and sighed.
Bill did keep his promise on not doing anything to autograph All Might gave him.
"No… it's fine…" said Izuku suddenly rather quietly.
"We really should get to the meeting." Said Eraserhead leaving his sleeping bag going now to sit on a chair.
The staff all looked at the four Pines unsure of who they were.
All Might and a hero by the name of Power Loader who wore a costume resembled some heavy machinery getting the feeling that he looked familiar.
"These four are experts on the villain." Said Nezu, "Two of them look young but they are far older than they appear to be."
They began to meeting with Nezu explaining about Bill Cipher with help from Ford.
The heroes were a little skeptical at first but the fact that Nezu was adamant about everything he was explaining about meant they knew he was telling the truth.
And they knew he wouldn't joke about a villain like this.
Well there was that one April Fool's Day but Recovery Girl (the school nurse) was there and if he tried that again he would be in a world of hurt.
But that's neither here nor there.
"So this is all real?" asked Eraserhead.
"It is…" said Ford, "I have been dealing with Bill for years."
"Wait the Pines family?" asked a hero in a space suit like costume who was named Thirteen, "They know about him?"
"You're kidding." Said All Might finding the papers detailing how the Pines connecting to Bill.
"Pines family might be something of unofficial royalty of quirks, but the truth about their family is that they have been secretly fighting Bill Cipher long before quirks first appeared." Said Nezu.
"I can't believe it." Said All Might in shock.
"You've gone to their party haven't you?" asked a hero dressed like a dominatrix (no… really… and yes… she was a high school teacher) named Midnight.
"A few times, but it's been a while since I last went." Said All Might.
"It's true… all of it." Said Ford.
"In fact these four used a special ritual to help guide the ones that will fight Bill." Said Nezu.
"We're not a group with glowy quirks, we're actually a bunch of spirits." Said Mabel.
"Wait you're ghosts?" asked Present Mic.
"She just said we're spirits." Said Ford, "Ghosts are completely different… in fact…"
"Now's not the time Ford." Said Stan.
"These four performed the ritual about 200 years ago." Said Nezu, "In fact you've probably heard of three of them."
"Oh yes, I believe that's why Nezu didn't introduce us is because you wouldn't believe me. My name is Stanford Pines, this is my twin brother Stanley. And our great Niece and Nephew, Mabel and Mason."
There was an awkward silence in the room.
"I was wondering why you didn't have a meeting with tea." Said Recovery Girl.
"Yes, it's best not to waste it." Said Nezu.
"SERIOUSLY!" yelled all of the heroes besides Recovery Girl.
"Before you ask we don't remember our lives after the ritual…" said Dipper.
"So if you have any questions about what was it like to beat up that mob I wouldn't know." Said Mabel.
"As well as mine and my nephews research." Said Ford.
"I knew I recognized you." Said Power Loader, "Fiddleford McGucket is something of an idol of mine and I know you were good friends with him."
"Wait… Stanley?" asked Midnight.
"Yeah… yeah… I know you've never heard of me, it's always Pacifica." Said Stan, "Not that I can blame them, but I am important to the family even if the if most people don't know about me."
That when it clicked with All Might, how he recognized them.
"Wait a second! Now I know you!" said All Might, "You're the original Mr. Mystery!"
Everyone in the room turned to the Number Hero confused.
"You know me as Mr. Mystery?" asked Stan practically lighting up.
All Might began to blush as he scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"Well… anytime I went to Gravity Falls I would always visit the Mystery Shack… and…" said All Might.
"Okay that is awesome!" said Mabel.
"Yeah… that's actually pretty cool." Admitted Dipper.
"Really?" asked Ford.
"Hey! All Might's a fan of the mystery shack!" said Stan, "How can I not be happy?"
Ford was about to say something but then realized something, "Okay fair enough." He admitted
"The Mystery Shack is a tourist trap the Pines Family runs." Said Nezu, "Most people are unaware of it, as of Stanley's other antics."
Stan paled, "(Oh no…)" he realized.
"You see Stanley Pines does have the same pedigree as the rest of his family but it's just not that well known." Said Nezu.
"What do you mean?" asked Midnight.
"Stanley Pines is the most prolific criminal of the late 20th and early 21st centuries." Said Nezu.
Stan just face palmed knowing that it had to be aired out. Of course the super intelligent animal knows about his crimes.
"It's true… he's done almost everything had has nothing to do with human murder or sexual assault. Tax Evasion, impersonating a dentist, pug trafficking and my personal favorite black mailing a Untied States president!"
"Hey!" yelled Stan, "I'll have you know that I'm innocent of that one, it happened after I performed that ritual! The most I'm guilty of is conspiracy to commit blackmail on a presidential candidate!"
Everyone else in the room stared at Stan in horror.
"How do you even blackmail a united states president!" yelled Izuku practically speaking for the entire room.
"Well you see… back in the 1970's I met business man by the name of Donald Trump and…" said Stan.
"All right… I don't think we need to hear anymore." Said All Might who was pretty much obsessed with the U.S. and had heard how corrupt that president.
"Was that he that really corrupt and stupid one?" asked Present Mic.
"Yeah." Said All Might, "The only reason why he wasn't Impeached or Quinten Trembleyed was because congress sided with him."
Well technically he was impeached, but he wasn't removed from office...
"Quinten Trembleyed?" asked Midnight.
"It's a long story." Laughed Mabel.
"He also was the criminal that invented Burglebezzlement." Said Nezu.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" yelled Present Mic using his quirk which amplified his voice.
Eraserhead had to use his quirk which lets him cancel out any quirks using his eyes.
"Sorry about that…" grumbled Present Mic, "It's just, I had to deal with a burglebezzlement case last week."
"Really?" asked Stan almost happy to hear that people were still performing a crime he invented.
"(That's not something to proud of Stanley.)" Muttered Ford.
"You know this actually explains a lot about the Mystery Shack…" said All Might.
"Now the reason why I told you is that I believe Stanley could still be of help in this." Said Nezu.
"How can a notorious criminal help?" asked Present Mic.
"I believe that Bill Cipher is using Midoriya's body to make ties with criminal organizations." Said Nezu.
"I would put it past him." Said Ford, "He wants to do everything himself this time…"
"But using the body of middle schooler?" asked Midnight.
"How was your body even taken?" asked Eraserhead.
Izuku sighed, "Walking home after school I was attacked by a villain,.. completely separated from Cipher." He explained.
All Might looked at the puppet and knew that there something familiar about it, he went through the packet and found the information about Izuku.
"Shit!" he thought.
"I was knocked out during it… and I met Bill. He said things to me that… well it's not important." Said Izuku, "He said he could do it for me if I give him a puppet… and then he ripped me from my body…"
"What about the villain who attacked you?" asked Midnight.
"Don't worry he was captured." Said All Might.
"How do you know?" asked Eraserhead.
"He was the one who saved me from the villain." Said Izuku, "I don't blame you for not knowing it wasn't me… I mean you didn't even know me… or what my eye color is."
"Eye color?" asked Present Mic.
"When Bill possesses someone they're eyes turn completely gold expect for silted pupils." Said Ford.
"I just thought…" said All Might.
"It was a quirk… it's fine…" said Izuku.
"What is your quirk?" asked Recovery Girl.
"I'm Quirkless." Said Izuku knowing that it would come out.
"Wait… why would he even possess a Quirkless teen?" asked Present Mic.
"I'd like to remind you, we predate quirks." Said Ford.
"He doesn't care about that." Said Dipper, "One of the reasons I'm sure he went after Izuku is because just that, he's Quirkless… he's vulnerable and far more open to manipulation than someone with a quirk would be."
"So how do we take care of him." Said Eraser head.
"First off is removing him from Izuku's body. Chances are if we do that he'll lay low for another century or two before making another move." Said Stanford.
"Did you say centuries?" asked Midnight.
"He's billions of years old. Centuries are nothing to him." Said Stan.
"The long term plan is the Zodiac." Said Ford.
He once again explained the Zodiac.
"Then why didn't you stop him last time with the Zodiac?" asked Eraserhead.
"It's not that simple. We didn't find all 10 symbols." Said Ford, "2 of them we never figured out, 1 of them we did know how to assign it but it was never given to someone, 1 of them was also found but we never informed him…"
"Why?" asked All Might.
"Dipper didn't like the guy." Said Mabel.
"Mabel!" yelled Dipper.
"Yet another did know about Bill… but he was allies with him." Said Ford, "The last besides the ones you can tell we're attached to… merely didn't want to join us in the ritual to make ourselves spirits…"
"Can you even use the Zodiac like that?" asked Recovery.
"No… but we figured out we can pass it out." Said Dipper.
"Dipper chose me." Said Izuku.
"So you chose the guy without a body when you have the same problem?" asked Eraser.
"Hey! He can possess things." Said Mabel.
"Can he can use both hands for puppets." Said Dipper, "Trust me… I know…"
The teachers looked at Dipper's face.
"Don't ask…" said Dipper.
"Don't ask me either…" said Mabel.
"Wait you never… told us what he's trying to do!" said Present Mic.
Ford once again explained the whole thing about Bill being unable to be in this dimension.
"So we're trying to prevent the end of the world?" asked Eraserhead.
"Yes…" said Stanford.
The teaching staff was in shock.
"I know it's a lot of take in." said Nezu, "I know after I was chosen to be informed."
No one said anything.
"Now I know we do have to work with Midoriya with this, which is why, no matter what happens he will be a student next school year if Bill Cipher is still controlling his body." Said Nezu.
"What?" asked Izuku.
"I'm not saying as a Hero Course student though if you do pass it somehow… but you will be allowed in general studies." Said Nezu.
"Really?" asked Izuku.
Nezu nodded.
"I have seen your application for you to join the hero course." said Nezu.
Izuku blushed which somehow made his puppet blush as well.
"But you will still have to take the entrance exam." Said Nezu.
"I know…" said Izuku.
"I also expect you to help Midoriya through the months in various ways." Said Nezu, "Not pass the exam of course, but ways to help with his situation."
The teachers all seemed to agree though a few seemed more reluctant.
Once the meeting was over, All Might approached Izuku.
"Young Midoriya… is all right to talk to you alone?" asked All Might.
"Of course!" said Izuku.
Inko nodded… knowing that All Might was there when Izuku had his body stolen it made sense for the two of talk.
"Excuse me Dipper." Said Nezu approaching the spirit.
"Yes…" said Dipper.
"There's something we need to talk about in my office." Said Nezu.
"Okay…" said Dipper.
In an empty class room, All Might and Izuku talked.
"I wanted to apologize what happened that day." Said All Might.
"I don't blame you didn't know… said Izuku.
"No… I really am at fault." Said All Might, "I chased that villain to you… if he didn't try to take over your body then Bill Cipher wouldn't have taken over your body…"
There was awkward silence between the two.
"Yeah… that's the weirdest thing about that…" said Izuku.
"I know it felt weird seeing it." Said All Might.
"But I don't blame you…" said Izuku.
"No it's not just that…" said All Might, "I knew something was wrong with your body…"
"You had to take the villain to the police…" said Izuku.
"That not the reason why I left you." Said All Might, "What I'm about to show you can't talk to anyone but Nezu and Recovery Girl."
"What do you mean?" asked Izuku.
There was a sudden puff of steam from All Might's body, suddenly the giant of a man with a neat blonde hair (expect for rabbit ear like bangs sticking up) turned into a skeletal pale man with messy hair.
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" cried Izuku.
"Don't worry I'm still All…" said the now shriveled man who then coughed up a lot of blood.
"What's going on!" cried Izuku.
In Nezu's office, Nezu drank some tea while Dipper sat in a chair.
"You don't want any?" asked Nezu.
"No… can't. If we eat or drink something goes right through us." Said Dipper.
"Of course." Laughed Nezu.
"You know the real reason…" said Dipper.
"Yes… I did look into it." Said Nezu, "He does need to know…"
"I know…" sighed Dipper.
Back in the classroom, All Might managed to calm Izuku down and explain the situation.
Namely that five years before he was injured badly in a villain fight. He had lost his stomach and half his repository system.
Izuku stared in shock at the horrific scar.
"Was that during the fight with toxic chainsaw." Said Izuku.
"You really know your stuff." Said All Might, "But no that fight was something that the public doesn't know about."
"But what does this have to do with you leaving?" asked Izuku.
"I can only hold my hero form for three hours a day." Said All Might, "The rest of the time I'm like this… and…"
"You were out of time." Said Izuku.
"If I wasn't I would have taken your body somewhere… because I knew something was very wrong." Said All Might who began to grit his teeth, "But I just it… despite all my instincts saying otherwise."
"It's fine." Said Izuku, "Really… like I said you didn't know…"
"Young Midoriya?" asked All Might, "Why did you make a deal with him?"
"Ever since I was little… I always wanted to be a hero… because of you. I was wanted to save people with a smile on my face just like you… I had a really bad day… with everyone reminding me that I couldn't be a hero… and then getting attacked I was desperate… and I made a huge mistake… and… and… "
He began to cry…
"I don't know if I can stop him… I might have ended the world…" cried Izuku, "All because I wanted to be a hero…"
"The world won't end… we'll stop him." Said All Might.
"But…" said Izuku.
"We'll figure it out…" said All Might, "And I'll help you get used to this…"
"What do you mean?" asked Izuku.
"You know… being stuck in puppets." Said All Might, "Maybe you can use it like a quirk during, the entrance exams."
"I never thought about that." Said Izuku.
"And I'm sure… someone will come up with an idea of something else you can possess." Said All Might.
That was when suddenly Mabel came through one of the walls.
"Hey Izuku! Grunkle Ford and that hero with the armor came up with an awesome idea that you have to try out!" said Mabel.
Then she saw the shriveled up All Might.
"ZOMBIE!" yelled Mabel.
She grabbed her grabbling hook but once again she used up her corporal time so the when she shot it just through the hero.
"Oh yeah! Can't turn corporal! Izuku! I need you to find a karaoke machine!" yelled Mabel.
"Mabel!" yelled Izuku.
"I'm not a zombie…" said All Might realizing that he would have to tell the spirit girl.
And he did tell her about the injury.
"Okay… that's really bad." Said Mabel.
"Sorry for freaking you out." Said all Might.
"It's fine…" laughed Mabel.
"Wait… why do you need a karaoke machine?" asked Izuku.
"It's complicated." Said Mabel, "Oh yeah! What Grunkle Ford wants you to try out!"
"What do you mean?" asked Izuku.
Izuku and All Might followed Mabel into the Support Course work shop. Turned out Ford and Power Loader talked about the possibility of Izuku trying to possess robots.
"We only know puppets work because I was putting on a puppet show when Bill did the same thing to Dipper." Said Mabel, "But because we got Dipper's body back right away we never tested on a robot."
Izuku handed his puppet to All Might (Who was once again in hero form). He approached the robot and went through it.
He felt it… it was like putting on a suit… a big metal suit.
They all watched as the robot seemed to come to life with the camera lens on it turning green.
"Are you in control in there Young Midoriya?" asked All Might.
"I am… it's weird though…" said Izuku as his voice came from the robot.
"Awesome! Now you can be a robot!" yelled Mabel.
"Though I think those robots aren't well suited for Izuku to use." Said Stanford.
"Yeah you definitely have to make the robots look like him!" yelled Mabel, "Oh man! I have so many ideas! IT will be awesome!"
"I wouldn't take many of her ideas." Ford whispered to Power Loader.
"Don't worry… there's always at least one hyperactive crazy student every year." Power Loader told him.
Izuku left the robot, and All Might gave him back his puppet, though it was a little awkward.
All Might smiled at the boy controlling the puppet with a promise to help him no matter what.
After all no matter what Izuku said, he still felt like he was to blame for this.
Sometime later at home, they all decided to relax as it was clear that the Pines were going to be there for a while.
"I'm so glad that All Might is going to help you." Said Inko.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
"Plus with the robot idea, it can be a big help no matter what Bill throws at us." Said Ford.
"Wait… why were you performing a puppet show?" asked Izuku.
"It's not important." Said Mabel, "What is important was that we were able to beat Bill because of that."
Inko got a feel a feeling about what she said and whispered something to her.
"Yeah! It was!" said Mabel.
Inko nodded at her knowing that was the only way to reassure her
While Izuku was confused, and looked at the other three spirts.
"Not going to explain it." Said Stan.
"I don't want to talk about it." Said Dipper.
"I wasn't there." Said Ford.
That was when the doorbell rang.
"Izuku maybe you should get it." Said Inko.
It's probably a good way to make things seem normal for you." Said Ford.
"We're not going to find Bill for a while… so better get used to the puppet thing." Said Stan.
Izuku answered the door and it was Bakugo.
"So you're still a puppet." He muttered.
"Yeah… we don't think we'll find my body for a while." Said Izuku.
"Look I'm just here to deliver your homework." Said Bakugo.
He awkwardly gave the puppet the homework.
"Thanks Kacchan." Said Izuku.
Bakugo flinched thinking back to the nightmare.
Then left without saying anything.
Izuku watched him leave.
"Something's wrong." Thought Izuku.
That night Bakugo tried to sleep… that was when suddenly, everything once again turned black and white.
"Ready for round 2 Bomb Voyage?" asked Bill.
And then he once again experienced a lot of Izuku's memories, once again starting with the incident on the log and ending with the memory him telling Izuku to jump off the roof.
With Bill once again promising yet another night of those memories once they were done…
Next Time: After adjusting to his situation Izuku finally returns to school and realizes something's wrong with Bakugo. Dipper seeing the state of the bully deduces that Bill is behind it and thinks he might know what going on. They need to see if though if Izuku could enter his dreams. Can Izuku do it? Find out next time!
A/N: I would like to remind everyone that it's canon that Stan knows Trump. There was an old twitter thing made when the mayor episode came out and he trolled Trump's twitter page along with other presidential candidates... (has thousand yard state) I miss 2015... it was so simple...
Also the thing Dipper needs to Izuku wont' come up again for a while... but it is very important to the story...
