The story goes up until right after the psycho sister's arc so I guess spoilers for one punch season 3 as well. the alternative path on A03 is to be uploaded later here.

15. Month 2: Week 1: The Hunt Begins

The hunter's threat : Garou, sonic, sitch

Sitch sat atop a podium down in the under belly of the association HQ, he was in front of a presentation board about to speak to his audience.

"I never imagined you'd come, I am Sitch, the leader of the earth is in danger prophecy measures team. E.D.P for short" sitch began

"I'm deeply grateful that the denizens of the underworld would answer my call. Many of you, despite having a high bounty on your heads, still came to the association headquarters in trust that we will not arrest you. that assumption is true we have no plan to arrest any of you"

"The hero's' here are simply a precaution and deterrent to dissuade unruly behavior."

The three heroes sitch referred to were all in the top 10 of the A-class, starting with the 5th highest down to the 7th , heavy tank loincloth, blue fire, and magic man. The three questioned currently sat aside discussing the reason that such criminals would arrive so brazenly into the hero association headquarters. Top assassins, arms dealers, wanted men, and escaped convicts were arrayed in front of the heroes. blue fire and magic man were itching for a fight even despite their numbers the heroes were confident that they could take them out.

"Good now we will be handing out the documents shortly, please read over them well and consider-"

"Where is the hero named saitama? Does he live in this facility? " Sonic's voice shouted over amongst the criminals in the crowd.

"Please save all questions, especially those of which are irrelevant to the topic for the end." sitch said

"Doesn't matter I've gotten what I needed, I'm leaving." sonic remarked

"Without listening to the presentation? I won't let you." blue fire said pointing towards sonic, sonic looked at the hero unimpressed before throwing up the documents he held in his hands.

"The rate of tiger level disasters this month is 6 times the last three years average, are these the omens of danger foretold by the great seer Shibabawa or has it already begun?"

"Y-you, when did you? I haven't passed those out yet!" Sitch said, panicking from his podium.

" If the current disaster threat level continues to rise, the heroes' won't be able to keep up, even the S-class heroes are constantly busy dealing with threats."

"So in other words you're short handed and want to enlist the help of criminals to fight as well. Does that sum it up correctly?"

"Well I refuse, the thought of playing hero nauseates me. I'm leaving." with that said sonic simply disappeared from everyone's sight, but blue fire was more agitated about what he heard then the criminal himself now.

"Is what he said true!? Are you truly thinking of enlisting this scumbs help?" he yelled towards sitch.

"YES! There aren't enough heroes to cover this crisis and many in the underworld possess a hero's strength and I do not ask this of you for free. We will pay you for every monster you kill!" sitch yelled out to the crowd. The crowd was silent until laughing could be heard from a man with white hair that pointed skywards.

"The great seer sure does rock. She predicted the coming of a disaster level god and that threat will be me garou. I admire monsters and you all are the perfect prey to begin my journey."

After the young man said that all hell broke loose, the young man had easily dispatched the three A-class hero's before turning his sights on the criminals themselves. All Sitch could do was radio in for support and keep his head down as the blood started to coat the walls of the lecture hall. Hopefully an S-class hero could arrive to stop this madness but who will show up first he wondered.

---

Sonic was walking down the long street of the association and even from this distance he could hear the commotion brewing in the room that he just left but that didn't matter to him, it wasn't his problem. The trip wasn't a complete waste; he found out where his target lives. He will dedicate himself to training in preparation for his next encounter. Prepare yourself saitama because in the next few days I will be there to end your life. I'll make you regret embarrassing speed-o'-sound sonic twice!

The after party: Geno's group, Saitama, Child emperor's group, darkshine's group, metal bat's group, zombieman, tokoyami, Iida

Everyone in the lodge woke up during the evening, all of the teens went to go check up on Iida almost immediately after waking up and taking care of their hygiene they all almost immediately beelined it for Iida's room even bakugo was with them but they were shocked as they opened the door only to find an equally baffled kirishima staring at a now upright and practically overflowing with energy class president as he was stretching and exercising.

"Greetings! I would have woken you all up earlier as it is unheroic to sleep in so late but given what you all went through last night through the early morning I judged that it was best to let you all rest." Iida said, waving his hand at the shocked faces of his classmates.

"US! Need sleep, what about you!" Mina nearly screamed pointing at the refreshed class president whose body held no injuries of the night before. Iida's smile faded and turned into a serious frown, his lips in a line as he observed his hand and arm, briefly skimming over his recent addition of the new grown mufflers that sprouted from just above his elbow.

"I…I honestly don't know what happened to me. I just feel so full of energy now, all my injuries are gone and my body feels healthier than ever. Who do I have to thank for this?" Iida asked

"Flash." bakugo said simply and crudely, Iida's face frowned even deeper at just the mention of the name, he didn't know if he should thank the man or not given that he was in that state in the first place due to him.

"Speaking of that guy, what happened between you and him?" Jiro questioned. Iida raised his head to meet all of their gazes, he was tempted to lie and say nothing just to spare them concern or worse yet trying to get revenge for him but he decided he would just tell the truth.

He told them of his time with the hero, his time in training which while harsh wasn't completely awful as he had learned a lot from the man in his short time with him but that was about all the positives he could say, during the whole journey to their location the man seemed to not really care about his well being often leaving him come night time and leaving a trial for him to follow during the day, the secrets he hid from him such as the scouts and where he was going during the night just leaving him in the forest while he slept under a roof somewhere else. But what really got everyone attention was their target it was a human trafficking bust essentially but he took no prisoner or captives, everywhere he looked was just dead bodies scattered over the place.

"He didn't even care about the prisoner; he was only there to kill the people that were "annoying" him by sending assassins his way. I found some captives and freed them. After the association picked us up, he took us here to this mountain." Iida explained

"Woah, that's pretty hard core." kirishima explained

"Did any of them survive?" Mina asked nervously, while she held little sympathy for traffickers, she didn't like the thought of just wiping them out without a chance for them to repent for their actions and she believed the others felt the same.

"Only one of them, she was hiding amongst the prisoners and tried to attack me. Once I initially freed them, I subdued her and handed her off to the association." Iida explained.

"That doesn't explain what happened the other day." bakugo said, agitated. Iida let out a sigh before continuing on.

"Once we arrived here, I noticed that flash was a lot more aggressive and hostile towards me than he was previously, ultimately culminating in him leaving me stranded out there in the wilderness with nothing but a map to lead me presumably here." Iida explained

"Why-why would he do that?" Koda questioned

"After I freed the prisoners, I decided to go see if flash needed help, I couldn't see what happened but evidently I had inadvertently got in his way causing….him to lose some hair. " Iida mummer that last bit, but Jiro picked it up anyway, snapping her head forward, eyes wide.

"Wait…did I hear that right? He abandoned you in that storm just because he lost a few strands of hair?" Jiro said in disbelief, followed closely by the gasp of the classmates around them. Iida simply nodded his head and slightly balling his fist, the room was quiet for a moment letting the ridiculousness of the situation wash over them.

"Leaving you is not the only thing he did, did he?" Tokoyami said, earning some surprised looks from the others before Iida nodded.

"Yes, along with abandoning me….he cut down my leg mufflers and said it was "compensation" for his hair. Astute observation of you tokoyami." Iida replied, meeting even louder shocked gasps from the teens in the room.

"I noticed that your leg mufflers were smaller than they were originally once we took off your armor and they are larger than last night's, which confirmed my suspicions. I originally thought it was the bear attack that could have done it but the marks were too clean of a cut." tokoyami said, nodding.

"All that just for some strands of hair? I can't imagine what he would do if you pranked shaved him.`` Kirishima tried to lighten the mood with a joke, it was somewhat effective getting at least a couple of smiles from everyone.

"Yes he is a very mysterious individual to say the least, I definitely wouldn't consider him a hero and I don't know if I ever want to see him again if I'm being honest." Iida remarked.

"And you won't have to if you don't want to , I'm sure that you can pal around with one of us for our time here." Mina said.

"I appreciate it, now what have I missed since I was gone. I know that mineta was turned into a girl. Has that been resolved?" Iida asked

"Yes, it happened around a week ago." todoroki remarked

"Oh my god! Guess what? Midoriya and uraraka are officially going out!" Mina said in absolute joy, clapping her hands.

"That's great news. I must commend them when we return and also lecture them upon proper conduct in such relationships." Iida replied, earning a laugh from mostly everyone in the room.

"Her and Kaminari also awakened similarly to how you did as well." jiro said

"Awakening?" Iida questioned

"It's what we're calling these new abilities gained through circumstance." Todoroki explained. Iida took one more glance at his mufflers on his arms.

"Oh! I want to see Kaminari and Iida race each other now in his awakening form. He was really fast, shrouded in electricity and stuff." Kirishima remarked with a fist in the air.

"Oh your right, that would be cool to see but I think Iida still has him beat now that he awakened to, did you see yesterday? He was so fast." Mina countered.

"What was that even about yesterday?" Jiro questioned looking at the guy's.

"Those monsters wanted to kill us just to get us out of the way," bakugo said with a snarl.

"The cat creature that wanted to kill the lord of the mountain to regain its title, after it was done with us it was going to kill the weakened lord, after they presumed that it dealt with the other heroes." Todoroki explained.

" And you said that they were scared of koda? Why?" jiro asked

"Presumably because they sensed that flash was coming I imagine." Iida said. Koda nodded his head.

"From what I could hear, the cat creature said that something dangerous was coming and to flee but the wolf creature called her a coward." koda replied

"Well that worked out for him splendidly." bakugo said with a snicker, that turned into a frown as he remembered that minotaur from the other day. Barking out a sudden.

"Hey! Did that ox freak say anything?" bakugo asked Koda aggressively.

" I…I …I don't know I was too far away to hear anything if it did." Koda said, rapidly shaking his head and holding his hands up in mock surrender, bakugo let out a grunt but pulled back from the taller boy's face.

"What about that tiger chump? I bet he ran away like the scaredy cat it is.. ``Dark shadow said, popping up out of tokoyami. Koda seemingly stood straighter as he rubbed the back of his head.

"A…actually….it's …down stairs." Koda mumbled, out before leaving the room headed for the stairs to check on them.

"What!" He heard dark shadow scream from behind.

The group heeded downstairs towards the living room and just as koda got down from the stair he was jumped on by the small red cub akaiando.

{finally you're up, I wanted to go up the stairs but the small meanie wouldn't let me.} the cub said, gesturing towards child emperor, child emperor noticed the cub pointing towards him.

"I said no pets upstairs, we caused enough damage already." child emperor said

" Where's torax?" koda asked

"Torax? Oh you mean the tiger? It went out for a moment." child emperor said and just as he spoke the white tiger came into the living room, unlike before where it limped and dragged it's right foot, just like Iida he seemed to be brand new and it's eyes were similar to todoroki in that they were heterochromia the left side was blue and the right side was golden, the tiger stared at koda for a moment before it's stare was interrupted by dark shadow getting in its face.

"Ay, you pussy cat just know that I won the other day you got that."

{I was the one still standing if I recall correctly.} the tiger barked out.

"What did it say?" dark shadow said coming towards koda.

"He..he said that he was the last one standing if he could recall." Koda replied.

"Oooh you" dark shadow was about to dash back at the cat but tokoyami halted him, the last words he said was" let me at em" multiple times before he was fully contained again.

{I'm surprised you decided to stay} koda said

{The cub convinced me to, I need to speak with you. Aikaiando you stay here.} torax said as he made his way outside. Koda was slightly worried about what he wanted to talk about. The cub looked at Koda for a moment before smelling another familiar scent from before.

{Oh, that was your friend too? I'm sorry that my father tried to sacrifice him the other day.} aikaiando, pointing to Iida.

"It said that he apologized for her father's actions the other day, they needed a sacrifice for the lord of the mountain." Koda said to Iida who was shocked for a moment at the news and a bit nervous.

" Where is the creature's father now?" Iida asked, Koda simply shook his head and Iida understood well, the thing did attack him unprovoked no matter what the reasons he couldn't rag on the hero's for defending themselves.

"Her name is aikaiando by the way." Koda said before a loud roar was heard from outside.

"Oh torax wants to talk to me outside, I'll be right back ok?" Koda took a moment to go outside into the snow but he was stopped by Jiro and mina.

"Not without us, we still can't trust them yet to not hurt you." Jiro remarked, and Koda understood he could be a little too trusting at times and having some back up just in case something does happen wouldn't hurt. He nodded and all three of them left outside, to find the tiger out next to the house.

"We'll be right back. " Koda remarked as the group of three left outside.

"What does he intend to do with these creatures, might I ask?" Iida questioned as the cub rubbed against his leg affectionately, the others simply shrugged their shoulders.

"Well your friend suggested that he would use them in his hero work." child emperor piped in. making the group of teens turn towards the child hero.

"And your…ok with that?" Iida asked suspiciously, child emperor just shrugged his shoulders.

"I mean me, specifically don't really have much of a problem with it, personally with his ability to speak with them it opens up so many more opportunities with research into monsters." child emperor replied, excitedly

"So you don't think the association would say anything about them?" Todoroki questioned.

"That I'm not too sure about but they seemed to treat you guys differently than the rest of the heroes so they could allow it, the two don't look that differently from normal animals anyways so I wouldn't really be concerned about it. Not like they have any ground to stand on anyways when it comes to such projects." child emperor said.

"What do you mean by that last bit?" tokoyami questioned

"Just know that association, while presenting itself as humanities noble shield, is still a company and just like any major company there are at the behest of their investors and executives which sometimes like to serve their own self interest over that of the people." child emperor remarked.

"That much was see." bakugo muttered to himself, thinking back to the incident from a couple of days ago.

" Well as long as it doesn't cause problems for us I guess koda could keep them." kirishima said

"Where is Genos and his master?" todoroki asked

"The bald guy is in the kitchen with the others as for demon cyborg he's outside burning the monster corpses." child emperor said.

"Why does he do that by the way?" todoroki asked

"I…don't know, he may think that the scent could attract other monsters perhaps." child emperor said with another shrug of his shoulders, after some further back and forth the teens all began to file into the kitchen to grab something to eat.

---

Koda, Jiro, and Mina all stepped outside and looked towards the left of the lodge where the tiger monster was looking out towards the tree line before turning to look at them.

{You brought your friends? I can't blame you for that, although I think your selection was off if I did want to attack you, neither of them would be able to stop me.} torax said

"What did it say?" mina asked

"N…nothing..just a greeting." Koda lied. As the group approached the tiger monster.

{well what did you want to talk to me about.} Koda responded getting closer and sitting down next to the tiger.

{ the cub said something the other day about getting revenge for his father.}

{Yes and what about it?} Koda asked, getting slightly nervous.

{well you may not know this about monsters but when we eat another monster we have the potential to take on some of their strength, abilities, and memories.} Torax explained getting a surprised gasp from Koda, who was equal parts angry and remorseful.

{You ate akaiando's fathers corpse? Why?} koda asked

{we had a deal between the two of us if either of us died but back to the true subject at hand, how long do you plan on lying to her.} Torax accused, making Koda snap his head his way.

{I didn't-}

{yes, yes you didn't lie to her but you haven't told her the whole truth.} Torax said, koda looked down at the ground in shame.

{are you going to tell her?} he murmured slightly.

{No, I understand why you didn't tell her the whole truth but I would like for her to know eventually.} Torax said.

{I'll try to do it soon} koda replied. The tiger nodded

{on to the next problem that the man dressed in black from previously, given that I haven't seen him around here I assume that's who you blamed for the murder.} Koda nodded.

{well that man was strong he would likely kill the cub if you encountered him again and since she's out for revenge conflict it is down to occur.} Torax said.

{I don't understand what you're trying to say?} koda questioned

{I'm saying that, the cub needs to get stronger in case that happens even with me present for the battle. I'm unsure If I could win against him let alone protect you both as well, the cub will need to get stronger by eating other monsters as well.} torax explained

{O-oh, that…that can be accomplished.. I guess} Koda remarked with some skepticism. The sound of crunching snow and heat marked the arrival of demon cyborg, he took a step forward before sending a threatening glare to the tiger monster before turning to koda.

" Metal bat informed me not to burn the rabbit creature's bodies, I placed them over there." Genos said before heading back inside the lodge, Koda immediately got up and ran over to the designated area, nearly slipping several times before finally succumbing to the ground and tripping up in front of the 7 rabbit corpses, most of them having chunks ripped out of them but one was seemingly cut right down the center, tears border the edges of his eyes threatening to fall.

"Oh my god" mina said in disbelief as she put her hand to her mouth.

"Dang." was all jiro said as well.

{it makes sense now…why the other one wanted to die} torax remarked, koda slowly nodded his head.

{They came to save us, just like these two saved them previously.} Koda gestured to the two girls behind them

{I..see, that's why I have some memory of them} torax said.

"But why did the other one attack us?" mina questioned

"Because it was alone, rabbits are some of the only creatures that can die of loneliness. It wanted to die." Koda said solemnly as he looked over the dead creatures.

"What are we going to do with them?" jiro asked

{If I may make a suggestion, we should let the cub eat them. Before you react, not only would it help the cub get stronger it will also help her trust you more. If you bury them some other predator will just dig them up later. }torax reasoned. Koda let out a sigh, he guessed that torax was right and in some symbolic way they would still be there for him in the form of aikaiando.

{Ok, I'll go get her.} Koda said, standing up and taking one last look at the bunnies before heading back towards the lodge, Mina and Jiro following along with him.

"Sooo, what are we going to do?" Jiro asked again but not receiving a response, she looked towards Mina with a concerned face, the pink girl just returned the favor as both girls continued to follow him as they entered the lodge the cub approached Koda again, he ran hand through the top of its head down its body.

{hey are you hungry?} koda asked

{Starving!} aikaiando replied

{Well torax has a meal for you outside} koda remarked and the little cub yipped with joy running between his legs and passed the two girls.

"He isn't going to you..know?" Mina questioned.

"He is, now let's get something to eat ourselves." Koda said simply, nearly emotionless, making the girls worry even more for their friend.

The group of three joined the others in the kitchen and began to make themselves some breakfast and after grabbing a bite to eat the predictable questions was asked to koda.

"So what did the tiger want to talk about?" Todoroki asked.

"torax wanted to talk to me about the aikaiando the cub." Koda said briefly, taking a breath before continuing.

"I kinda didn't tell her the whole truth about what happened to her father." Koda said, looking down and tapping his fingers together.

"If you did it I assume you had a good reason to." Iida said, and Koda nodded his head.

"Once we found her fathers corpse she was so mad and thought that we did it, I mean technically we did it but not all of us, so I just told her that the convict from before was the culprit which isn't entirely wrong." koda mumbled out.

"If it attacked you or any of the other hero's they surely would have killed it." Tokoyami chimed in, and Koda nodded his head.

"Well that's fine then but how did torax know?" kirishima asked

"Apparently when monsters eat other monsters they gain something from , which includes memories." Koda replied simply, making everyone gasp in shock.

"But doesn't that mean-" jiro started

"yes, they had a deal apparently." koda remarked

"Monsters dynamics are fascinating." tokoyami mentioned casually.

"Well at least everything ended as well as it could." Iida remarked.

"So are they going to be coming back with us or are they staying here?" todoroki asked

"We…well….the cub wants revenge for his father and torax wants to protect the cub I guess so they're both coming along." koda mentioned

After everyone finished up getting breakfast which was essentially brunch for the time of day, the group of heroes began to pack their things up and make their way back down towards hero association HQ. there was a brief surprise of how much bigger aikaiando was when he came back from eating the rabbits as she completely tackled koda again as her size now was around that of a Rottweilers, its red hair was coated with white dots but they seemingly disappeared more and more as they gone through the day. It seemed that torax was right aikaiando was definitely even more attached to him than before even growling at child emperor when he wouldn't let her follow him up the stairs and after some initial dispute he eventually relented allowing the cub to go upstairs, torax hadn't come back yet.

{where did torax go?} koda asked

{He said he was going to look for the former lord of the mountain.} aikaiando remarked, koda was a bit alarmed for a moment and questioned the reason why torax wanted to go visit the lord again but remembered that monsters grew in strength when they eat other monsters so he likely wanted to eat the former lord for his power or he had a vendetta against it. But knowing genos he probably burned the thing after the fight so there wouldn't be much left of it but the second one that bald guy killed could potentially still be out there. That one was even bigger than the one the S-class fought. He was momentarily concerned what torax would do with that power if he attained it. Even just a fragment of that thing's power could be really dangerous, especially if Koda couldn't trust him.

{Don't worry about him, he said he'll be back} aikaiando said laying down against the wall.

"What are you guys talking about?" Mina asked as she entered their room and sat down beside the cub, rubbing it affectionately, the cub nestled into her touch as she did so.

"Torax hadn't returned and I was just curious where he went." koda replied

"Where did it go?" Jiro asked, coming from behind the pink girl.

"It went to check to see if it could visit the former lord's body to eat it." koda said, making the two girls scrunch their faces.

"I don't know if that is such a good idea." jiro remarked

"Yeah this little guy is friendly but that other one is still somewhat unknown. Dark shadow still hates it. " Mina said with a laugh.

"I agree but I guess it's too late to do anything about it, if it did somehow find it, then we'll probably know right away. Oh she is a girl. ``Koda said, gesturing to the little cub.

"oh , sorry little gal." mina said rubbing the cub more.

The group all began to pack up and head out of the lodge, a machine started to make it easy towards the lodge, it was a large cage similar to the one that the rabbits rode in as they got here.

"Where is torax?" child emperor asked

"I…I don't know." Koda said.

"If you're referring to the tiger it's right over there." darkshine said as he pointed at the approaching form of the white tiger. As the tiger was in front of them, the child emperor gestured for it to enter the cage and to his surprise it actually did so without argument, only letting out a huff. Judging by how its size was practically the same as it left, Koda summarized that the tiger's quest was a failure.

"It's sure looking brand new for something that was so injured the other day. Regeneration perhaps?" zombieman commented

"Apparently monsters gain strength from eating other monsters." Tokoyami replied.

"I see, makes sense why it would stay then so it didn't have to fight while wounded." zombieman summarized, earning a nod from his student.

The crew began to make their way back towards the association HQ so the hero's could make their report on what happened. While on their way child emperor began to question torax with the help of koda translating for him.

"So what's this lord of the mountain business anyways?"

{"the lord of the mountain is a title for the strongest creature on the mountain, monsters would battle amongst each other to find the strongest. We were originally in a deadlock between bruinado and myself vs naga(cat monster) and asterius(minotaur) vs rengar(wolf monster) and paddock(buffalo monster). Until that thing came up one day and forced all of us into servitude."}

"So that mammoth creature wasn't here naturally?"

{"No, they appeared one day and due to its strength completely destroyed the deadlock we had."}

"They? So there were more than one of them?" child emperor asked

"That's what we've been trying to tell you." Mina remarked.

{" yes, the male and female creatures suddenly appeared and tasked us with gathering sacrifices for it."} torax explained

"Why?"

{" for any reason a monster does things for power supposedly, although it began to get more agitated as someone kept passing through the previous month something that threatened it but is was to fast for it to track."} torax explained

"That…that was probably flash he told me that the place he was staying in was 400 kilometers away." Iida mentioned

"Wait, he traveled 800 kilometers a day, just to sleep in some lodge?" kirishima said baffled

" That and more, he also found time to create a path for me to follow and to create intricate mazes for me to train on." Iida said.

"Woah, that man is fast." Kirishima remarked in amazement.

"He is the fastest among the S-class heroes." darkshine said

"I would argue tatsumaki could probably beat him in a race." child emperor said.

"Now that's a race I'd liked to see." metal bat said.

"My master would beat both of them easily." genos announced, making the group look at him strangely.

" Anyways, what turned you into a monster? And for how long?"

{"I don't know, there was this strange green butterfly creature with a large singular eye that greeted me upon awakening but left soon after the same could be said about the others, about a year ago now."}

"Interesting so something made you into a monster." child emperor said

"That sounds concerning, a being that's able to turn animals into monsters." zombieman replied

"They also have a higher level of intelligence then regular as well." child emperor said typing on his pad.

{"what happened to the others?"}

"Flash killed Paddock and Ragnar but the other two escaped." Todoroki replied.

{" so naga and asterius got away huh? I guess she's the lord now."}

"Do you think she will cause trouble?" child emperor asked

{" I don't know, she is unpredictable now that she has full reign over the mountain unimpeded."} torax explained

"What about the ox or whatever." bakugo chimed in, the tiger looked at him and let out a chuckle.

{I'm surprised that you're still alive, I guess you weren't worth it to asterius. He was never one to pick on the weak} the tiger said letting out a loud huff in jest, bakugo didn't know why but he was agitated like the tiger was making fun of him and the fact that koda didn't outright repeat what it was saying.

"What. …say?`` Bakugo said through a seething breath.

"I…It said that…asterius was …was playing with you." Koda replied, getting smaller under the fiery blonde gaze which he expected to explode with anger but instead almost simmered down completely, he launched off an explosion from one of his gauntlets towards the trees.

"Yo cyborg, when are my upgrades going to be ready?" bakugo said with a snarl.

"They are close to being completed, once I found out about your weakness to cold I had informed the doctor about it, to better help you." genos said. bakugo just turned his head away and stuffed both his hands in his pockets

"Thank….you" murmured under his breath. Jiro nearly fell back in shock after she heard that from the teens mouth something must be getting to him.

{speaking of the other day, did I help you at all?} aikaiando asked.

{what do you mean?} koda asked down to the cub

{When you did that loud scream yesterday, I felt like I was connected to you in some way, it's hard to explain} the cub replied

{so that was you?} torax said

{you know what he's talking about?} koda asked

{there was a debilitating voice that rang out over the forest but other than being a headache it almost felt like it was asking for something else , of course at the time I denied it immediately just wanting that sound to leave me but perhaps the others listened to it.} torax explained

{Yeah, the bunnies seemed to sync with you just like I did.} aikaiando said.

{interesting, I don't remember anything like-}

" What are you all talking about now?" child emperor asked

"Oh they were talking about some type of synchronization that happened yesterday during the battle but I don't really remember." Koda remarked.

"Oh, oh I think I know what they're talking about! Koda, don't you remember the other day where you punched those monsters away from us?" Mina said.

"Now that you say that, yeah I do." koda said rubbing his chin

"You seemed so fast just showing up there in the nick of time and strong too seeing how you sent them flying." Mina said with a smile and mimicking the blow

"I think I remember something like that, like feedback and that was when the bunnies arrived to help us." koda said

" You should totally try it out now then." Kirishima said wanting to see it in action.

The group stopped for a moment as Koda tried to summon whatever type of ability he had before, he let out another scream with his quirk and felt that familiar feeling from the other day but even stronger now, he felt great and strong although outwardly he didn't see any difference with himself.

"Did it work?" jiro asked

"Well let's see." Koda said as he approached a nearby tree and racked his right hand back and launched it forwards, the force completely removed the top section, forcing it back several feet before crashing into the trees behind it as it continued to move. The stomp officially came to a stop 40 feet down the lane. All of the teens gasped in shock as Koda stared at his fist in shock.

"Well I guess that proves that Koda awakened as well." tokoyami mentioned.

"I knew I made the right choice in sparring them. Now he can be a bit more useful in a fight" metal bat said confidently.

"And that was just from the help of two monsters, could you imagine how strong he could be if he had a hoard of them?" child emperor said

"That depends on if they actually want to help him, monsters aren't usually so nice." zombieman commented

"Koda, hit me next!" Kirishima said with a laugh before Koda stooped down on one knee, suddenly making everyone look at him in worry. Aikaiando rushed forward towards the teen and began licking his face, followed closely by Iida and everyone else. Tears were streaming from his eyes as he thought of the rabbits again, they helped him even more than he realized and they paid the price for it… if he was stronger himself than maybe things could have been different, he began to think of the visions he experienced with that being sending animals to their deaths just to save himself, before aikaiando started to lick his face.

{it's ok…I…don't really know but I have a feeling that they were happy to help you.}

"Koda, are you ok?" Iida asked, koda hugged aikaiando tightly as he answered.

" yeah …I'm fine…just… thinking about what happened the other day with a new perspective." Koda said with some sniffles.

"Well he's still a cry baby." Bad remarked, earning a snowball to the back of the head. He whirled around angrily at the assailant; it was bakugo.

"Shut it pompadour."

"You wanna go you human sparkler." bad remarks, as he put his bat down and started gathering snow.

"Bring it!" bakugo announced back as he threw another snowball at Bad's face, angering the teen even more.

the escalation eventually leading into a full on snowball fight between all of the teens present besides demon cyborg. While everyone else continued to walk forwards, eventually everyone calmed back down enough to continue their trip the teens caught up to the group that continued forward, todoroki briefly amused the idea that bakugo purposely started the fight to lighten the mood and help koda along, although him and metal bat were still verbally arguing amongst each other for sometime before they eventually just ran out of breath and decided to drop it.

The group continued to walk and ask the torax questions about monsters and a plethora of other things when child emperor, child emperor made constant calls towards the association but nothing seemed to have gone through until a sudden emergency frequency was picked up by his computer. Something was happening at hero quarters. At the same instance the teens phone had lit up with a message from uraraka…deku …was in the hospital.

Notoriety: Momo, Asui

"So what makes you want to come down to Q-city with me?" asui asked as both her and asui made their way down into the subway station.

"Well driveknight said that he had some business to attend to and we haven't been able to discuss about my new trainer yet either so it left me with options to explore this world with my friends." momo explained

"Where is kaminari? ribbit." asui asked

"He said that he was going to hang out with Sato and his teacher, I believe." momo remarked

"I see, a fair warning about my hero, he isn't normal." asui mentioned

"As you've mentioned before, another reason I wanted to go with you is because curiosity got the best of me, does he really act like a dog?" momo asked in wonder

"Yes, he acts more like a dog then hound dog man. well at least he can speak, well if he feels like it." asui remarked

"Fascinating." momo said

The two girls got on board the train and went off towards Q-city, momo marveled at the superstructure that was the shelter when she first arrived it was the first time in such an environment it reminded her of a bomb shelter with how reinforced the walls were, even the windows were several inches thick she had no doubt that they were probably made up of a similar composition of drive knights cages which were even stronger than the tungsten in their world. Part of the reason she struggled so much with copying the tech of this world was the host of new elemental mixtures that went into their material which gave them their strength and durability.

The two girls got outside and were greeted by a woman waiting for them, asui introduce her.

"Dalia, this is my friend creationist, she will be with me for the day" asui said, the two girl shook hands as dalia replied

"Hello creationist, as she said I'm dalia I'm the Q-branch community leader. If you want to know anything about this city either for hero work or just personal business, I'm your girl to talk to or the branch committee in general." dalia explained

"Branch committee?" momo asked

"Well yes, all cities have a branch committee, don't you know that?" dalia asked slightly confused.

"Ugh..you could say that we had a sheltered childhood, ribbit." asui defended, glancing at momo before turning back to dalia, with a smile.

"Well anyways, It's good to have the toad of Q-city back in action." dalia said with a laugh as the three slowly got into the car and drive off

"Toad of Q-city?" momo asked

"Your friend here has brought up quite the following with her unique abilities." dalia explained

"I'm a frog not a toad. Ribbit" asui said with a disgruntled tone, making momo chuckle.

"Well it's good that you have fans at least." momo said, nudging the girl on the shoulder.

" It has its downsides." asui remarked but didn't explain further.

The car ride was fast and the two girl got out, upon noticing that watchdog man wasn't there asui instructed that momo should buckle down especially her skirt and she did as instructed just in time to as the notable wind gust signified watchdogs man arrival , blowing both girls hair which way as it began to slowly fade out.

"Well here he is." froppy said gesturing towards watchdog man up on the podium, watchdog man noticed them and then another wind gust singled him moving again but not very far from previously, froppy new where he was located already and judging by momo's flushed face she realized as well before the dogman walked around and sat in front of her.

"Did he just?" momo asked

"Told you he really acts like a dog, watchdog man shake. speak, ``Asui said as she held up a treat in her hand, and watchdog man followed suit raising his paw on Momo's hand.

"You smell like froppy as well, different." watchdog man said with a monotone voice.

"Ugh …..I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take that but thank…you?" momo said hesitantly

"He just means that we are different from the rest of the people here." Asui explained, emphasizing the last word to make her point known. Momo understood what she was getting at and simply nodded in understanding. Momo ran her hand down watchdog man's suit. It felt unrealistically realistic for what appeared to be a fursuit and to handle the wear and tear of his speed that well it would be made of some incredible fabric. And just like that in the blink of an eye without warning he was gone again.

"He sure is something, right? ribbit" asui said

"No, kidding… is that really a suit or is he also a monster?" momo asked curiously

"I don't know…he says that he's not but maybe he just doesn't know? How else would he explain his abilities? Ribbit"

"Maybe technology?" momo suggested

"I haven't seen anything technical in my time spent with him .ribbit." asui replied

"Have you ever seen him with his costume off?"

"Now that you mention it…no I haven't." asui said, putting a finger to her chin.

"Another mystery to add to the world I suppose." Momo said.

After another brief moment with watchdog man as he came back from wherever he was, the two left to travel around the city. The two heroes were mostly committing their services to the community whether it be helping lost children, finding lost animals, or helping people with their shops placing signs on high places or helping place billboards on high places. While momo was happy with helping people in their daily lives she had to admit compared to her previous work with stinger it was mostly a boring affair.

"So monsters don't attack here very often?" momo asked

"Oh no, they do…actually this would be one of the most dangerous places around if it weren't for watchdog man. Every Time he zooms off it's a monster threat somewhere." asui said

"wow but he still returns that quickly?" momo asked bewildered

"Yes, despite how weird he is, he is really strong." asui complemented as another wind passed them by.

"No kidding, I wonder how strong drive knight is. I never saw him fight very much outside of sparring with me and kaminari.`` Momo said she did see that device of his and wondered if that was how truly fights.

The two continued traveling and accidentally had come upon one of the dogman's targets. It was a large dog-like creature with multiple heads, it's body was completely in pieces and one of its severed heads crashed directly into a store front. The area was getting cornered off by the committee for clean up after helping out a bit, the two girls continued on with their journey eventually finding a dispute between two individuals one looked about to reign down blows with a hammer against a down target but both of the girls saw through the plow.

"You can stop pretending now." asui said with a roll of her eyes.

"What I don't know what you mean, this guy is really in danger." the man said holding the mallet "threateningly to drop it on the target which upon any closer inspection could see that it was nothing but a doll dressed up like a guy.

"Whatever you say." asui said before continuing forward. Momo took one more glance at the man who seemed to drop the act as Froppy stopped caring before following her.

"What was that about?" momo asked

"That was some of the more degenerate fans of mine." froppy said with a huff

"Degenerate? Why do you say that?" momo asked

"They…they…just want me to wrap them up with my tongue. They get a kick out of it." froppy said, shaking her head a bit in disgust.

"Why would they want that.." momo asked, perplexed.

"Why would guys want a girl with a long tongue to wrap them up... Especially around certain…areas?" Asui said, trying to get the book worm to understand their logic, her face of confusion suddenly morphed into embarrassment as she pushed both her hands into her face, covering it and apologizing exhaustively.

"It's fine…it …just something I need to get used to…there are perverts in every universe it seems." froppy said so casually that it shocked the girl with how brazen she was about all that and taking it in stride.

The two were thankfully distracted from the conversation as they came upon a real crime being committed; it looked to be a bog standard robbery happening off in the distance. Both girls ran their way over to investigate and trap the robbers inside the store. Stupidly or perhaps humanely momo likes to think the robbers let the civilians run out leaving them with little leverage against the heroes other than to fight them straight up. They opened fire as the two entered the shop but momo countered by summoning a shield to block the bullets, she created her cement gun and fired at the closest robber tagging him directly in the chest with cement dropping him to the ground, another robber rushed at her with a rusty pipe but froppy was their to sweep his feet from under him with her tongue and throwing him toward the other robber. The last one tried to make a run out the back of the bank but momo summoned some bolas and threw it successfully tying up his legs forcing him to fall towards the ground, before the crook could think about untying the device he was clocked over the head by momo's shield.

Froppy called dalia and the two waited for her to arrive, having tied the 5 crooks up to a street corner.

"New trick with the bolas there huh, ribbit" asui said, momo nodded.

"Yes, something shadow ring taught me how to use." momo replied

The two conversed for a moment as Dalia and some of the hero association arrived to take the criminal away. Before dalia left however both momo and asui asked to be taken back towards the train station as they read uraraka's text about what happened to midoriya.

Lighting strikes twice: Pig god, sato, kaminari

Kaminari and sato were both in the gym, sato was currently teaching kaminari the basics of weight lifting and the machines they had going on around the numerous machines they had around the place and what they did, he was just helping kaminari finish another rep when the exhausted lighting user started to complain again.

"Man, I thought you would be having it easy, with a hero like pig god we would have all types of food surrounding us." kaminari said as he dropped the weight and took a breather on the bench.

"Well I thought so at first but nah he's really a good teacher and this is just step one of our routine, I usually have darkshine and kirishima here to train with but with them away, I thought I was gonna be all on my lonesome happy that your here to keep me company, even though you do complain a lot." sato said with a chuckle, punching him on the arm in jest.

"Ow, I don't complain, it's just not what I was expecting." Kaminari said with a slight chuckle.

"Well you should start building up some muscle for that new ability you got."

"Oh yeah, you're right about that, I guess that could help me out." Kaminari said, rubbing his chin.

" See now stop complaining, hey another benefit from muscle training is that you can show out in front of your girl." Sato teased Kaminari, notably flushed thinking about that night again , before shaking his head.

"I don't need muscle to show off, I'm awesome as is." Kaminari said with a grin.

"Whatever you say Romeo." sato remarked

"Hey what's that tube thing?" kaminari said before going over to the object.

"It's the gravity machine we were talking about."

""Woah cool, can I try?"

"ugh …sure but I'm gonna start you off easy. Kirishima and I can barely handle 6x times gravity." Sato remarked before setting the machine up and gesturing for Kaminari to enter.

"Oh yeah? I bet I could." Kaminari said with a challenging grin.

"I would like to test that but this thing could seriously hurt someone if we aren't careful so, we'll just start you out at half that, 3x gravity, lets see if your talking big then." sato said, earning a roll of the eyes from kaminari.

Sato started the machine and instantly saw the smug grin on Kaminari's face turn into a more strained one. He could see the heavy breathing starting to commence and the blood rush from his face as it strained to circulate around his body. Knowing that the yellow haired boy probably wouldn't be able to hear him now, sato gestured for him to start some exercises. Kaminari took a moment to fully realize what sato was trying to convey to him but he got the memo and with some difficulty started to move. His moves were sluggish and stiff for a moment but he was doing good enough with moving despite all the drawbacks.

"Oh darkshine is gone?" pig god said as he walked in.

"Yeah he and some other hero's left out for a special mission they said they will be back sometime today." sato replied

"I see, well in that case how about we go out to K-city to do some patrolling?" pig god suggested

"Awesome can my friend come as well?" sato asked as he gestured to the teen inside the too.

"Sure. but I believe he needs to get out of their" was all pig god said, sato turned to look at his friend, who was now faced down on the ground, panting heavily, sato had accidentally turned the gravity up 2 levels. He quickly turned the machine off before checking to see if kaminari was ok, he was a bit debilitated but that wasn't exactly new for the teen so he bounced back surprisingly quickly. After meeting and greeting pig god the three were off down towards the metro and off towards K-city.

The three hero's got to the city and began their patrol before the two teens left the station sato made sure to have kaminari prepare himself to witness pig god in action pointing to his mouth to emphasize his point, kaminari was a bit confused at first before he remembered as a notable shiver went through his body. God someone that fights by eating their opponent, it was creepy just thinking about let alone seeing it in person. Well, it was a good thing that pig god was on their side, he thought as the group began to walk the streets.

Everything seemed fine for most of their journey and the trip was much more what kaminari expected when palling around with pig god and sato the group visited a number of food shops that had challenges for free food or coupons and pig god beat them all easily which made their food free. There were minor incursions here and there, nothing major, most of which were small crimes such as theft or just helping out in the community wherever they could. Then the monster sirens started to blare, this one was a demon level threat surprising both of the teens, the group made their way over to the scene of the incident passing by numerous fleeing civilians as they went.

As they arrived they were shocked at what they saw in the middle of a roundabout there was what seemed to be like sentient vegetables? There had to be three dozen of them scattering around the circular area in the streets they were at least 10 small potato shaped creatures with razor sharp teeth and multiple eyes sprouting out over their bodies along with several tentacles, along with another 10 pumpkin monsters with vines spread out through their body that they used to move, 8 human sized creatures that looked to be combination of vegetables with with the body of large cucumbers, the last four creatures were the largest towering over 10ft tall these were clearly more tree like than the vegetable monsters below them.

The group also realized that they weren't the only heroes on the scene as well. two heroes' were already in the midst of the monsters fending off the small vegetables as they nipped at their ankles and legs a couple of the monster scattered at their feet, one was a Pinocchio looking individual which had a small puppet that had separated into tiny blades from each of its ligaments and he used them to cut down the potato creatures leaping at him, the next hero got kaminari's attention as he was in some sort of armored suit but every time the man punched blue electricity would cloud his hand discharging when it connected to the small vegetable creature frying them completely.

The four large individuals had forced their hands into the ground where they separated the two hero's throwing them both into the air in opposite directions. The vegetables now closed in on their prey but the three kicked into action, sato went over to help the puppet guy while kaminari went to cover the eclectic dude, pig god just charged forth with his mouth wide open he had already swallowed 5 of the pumpkin creatures whole before charging towards the the tree monsters that shot out razor sharp leaves at the hero.

"Are you good?" Kaminari asked the electric dude on the ground.

"Yeah I'm fine. But I'm running out of juice here in my pack" the dude said standing up.

"Don't worry about that , I'll help you out." Kaminari said as he placed a hand on the guy's backpack before discharging a small amount of electricity into it, well if you count 1 million volts as small.

"Woah! Thanks. What's your name? I'm battery man." battery man said

"I'm charge bolt, so let's fry some shrubs." Kaminari said offering an electrified fist bump battery man responded in kind.

Both battery man and kaminari fought off multiple of the small potato creatures, frying them with each of their punches as they continued through the battlefield, the two emitting bright lights of yellow and blue. Sato and the hero identified as doll master worked together to beat down the rest of the pumpkin monsters sato was barely had to lift a finger as the puppet began spewing bullets towards the monsters scattering most of them besides one that had burrowed under the ground next to puppet master but sato was their to protect the man catching the creature stalk like extrusions swinging it around and smashing it into the ground. Kaminari and battery man grouped up with the two of them to take out the cucumber creatures. They shot out small peas from their hands at the group of heroes and the puppet countered with his bullets. Kaminari shot out his pointers at the three individuals before letting his power go. The lighting struck its target dead on in the center stunning the creatures enough for puppet master to dissect them completely with his sword from his puppet before the puppet reconnected with each other.

The group was just about to turn and deal with the tree monsters next only for everyone to be surprised by the inflated size of pig god sitting there. The group of hero's could barely make out the appearance of one of the tree creatures' hands sticking out of his stomach.

"Well I guess that means we won….yeah." kaminari said in an awkward celebration

The puppet master was calling the association with news of the battle while the others talked amongst themselves.

"You share his ability, I'm really envious of you." battery man told kaminari

"Whose?" kaminari asked

"Volten, he was a pro hero and had an ability similar to yours. He was my inspiration for this power suit I have on." battery man explained.

"Was a pro hero? What happened to him?" sato asked

"Don't worry nothing bad happened, he simply retired to focus on being a martial artist. He had two disciples from what I remember but their names escape me at the moment." Battery man replied

"Cool, maybe I'll run into him sometime." kaminari commented

The group discussed some more while pig god digested his…."food" which surprisingly took way less time then kaminari originally thought it would but as the group was leaving sato immediately grabbed his shoulder and showed him his phone uraraka had messaged them that something was wrong with deku back in A-city. After informing pig god he allowed them to skip out on the rest of their patrols for the day and head back.

Just a normal day: tank top squad

The day was fairly normal for Shoji so far he and his usual group went on with their assignment; the city they were currently traveling towards was fairly out of the way for their usual ventures, directly to J-city.

"Ugh…J-city, home to the greatest pervert in all of the hero association." tank girl noted with a sigh.

"Pervert?" shoji questioned

"J-city is home to none other than the S-class hero puri-puri prisoner." tank philosopher explained

"Hah! Calling a convict a hero is a bit backwards isn't it?" tank girl replied

"He's a convict?" Shoji said in surprise.

"Sadly true, he is a man that….struggles to keep his hands to himself. Men in particular." tank philosopher said

"That's a nice way of saying that he assaults, sexually mind you and harasses people." tank girl replied, tank philosopher merely shrugged his shoulders.

"Should I….be concerned?" Shoji asked with a bit of hesitance in his voice.

"You don't got anything to worry about, I'm fairly sure he's not a pedo, besides recently he's been addicted to his supposed "boyfriends" in prison so he doesn't really target others much anymore" tank girl explained, shoji was relieved and disturbed at the same time, he still had a lot to learn about this new world it seemed.

The group exited the railway into the recently rebuilt shelter, Shoji asked what had happened and the two hero's explained how the city was attacked by some fish monsters calling themselves the seafolk. The group began their patrol walking around the city. It didn't take long for the first monster siren began to blare the group made their way over to the scene to find what looked like a mutated dogs scattering over the landscape, they're were a total of 5 of them, all were large dark black German shepherd's with dark glowing red eyes and twin tentacle like red tails. The fight with the beast was completely one sided; the threat was only regarded as a wolf as they continued on with their journey.

The next monster alarm was a threat level tiger it was a humanoid monster that which had no skin but was covered in boils and blisters, nothing else was really recognizable to the group as the monster had already been slain by another hero this one with flaming hair and equally flaming swords that he used to burn and cremate the creature. The group continued while waiting for the next monster sighting to appear. After a couple more minutes of nothing the group decided to stop and get something to eat. The meal was fairly normal by shoji standards minus a few weird ingredients the chef decided to put in there but he guessed it was just custom for the city.

But the next moment was anything but suddenly the shop doors was brutally ripped open as a large women stepped inside, she was grotesquely big and held an equally oversized purse it was large enough to fit an entire person inside shoji noted, the women hair seeming flowed around her as she let out a terrific screech that began shattering the glasses around the restaurant. If shoji' ears weren't completely defended by the sound he swore he could have heard some sort of complaint against the business and a question about speaking to the store's manager, but all of that was put on hold as security went to restrain the large women.

The purse she carried seemingly moved on it's own accord and knocked the guard back against the wall, the other civilians inside the restaurant quickly fled out the back as shoji sprung into action sprouting multiple arms and attempted to hit the women in the face but the purse was their again blocking the strikes from landing, tank girl rushed low and attempted to sweep the women's legs but the purse was their again blocking the attack, however the attack by tank philosopher caused the purse to notably deform and push the women out of the store front. The crew of three pursued the women outside, the women let out a scratch at the group as she dug into her purse and took out a large plate and flung it at them, the heroes all ducked out of the way and thankfully to as shoji saw the plate embedded itself into the wall behind them slicing deep enough to sink itself in half way through.

The group began to attack the women as she pulled more and more ridiculous culinary equipment from her bag to use against them. After hitting tank girl with a ladle sending the girl flying into a nearby wall, leaving the women exposed, shoji grabbed the women's hand before she could dig back into her mystery purse as tank girl called it, the women was strong almost breaking free from his grip, the purse reacted to its masters distress sprouting knives from it's sides and rising upwards to cut off all of shoji's hands that were restricting her. Tank philosopher used the opening again, this time launching his book and striking the woman directly in the gut, sending her sprawling backwards until she slammed into a telephone pole toppling it over and knocking the woman unconscious.

After recovering the group inspected the lady and reported the incident and they came to collect the lady and her weird purse. The store owners despite the destruction that lay inside thanked the hero's for their service and offered them discounts for next time they come in. The group was going to continue forwards onto their next adventure when Shoji looked at his text messages and saw what uraraka sent. He dismissed himself back to the shelter so he could find out what was going on.

Carrot and the stick: Toru

Toru was going through her training as normal, it was also her second day all by herself as well, tokoyami and zombieman would usually be outside doing their own thing while waiting for her practice to finish so being all alone did put her somewhat on edge, especially if her disguise was blown and she had to explain it to everyone, she had gotten some stares at her occasionally when in entering shade or when it got cloudy as her "skin" would notably take time to adjust to the given lighting. But thankfully Jackie was there as well for her warding off most of the questioning looks with her nonchalant presence, to the girls credit she didn't ask about it either or the excessive amount of makeup she had on her face.

Jackie and her had grown to be good friends over her time in bombs dojo, she would often instruct her on things she was doing wrong abet in a teasing/condescending way but she knew the girl meant no harm and was just playing with her mostly, she even stayed back with her occasionally to train and get better together as she said that it was much easier to get better when training with someone and to have someone to talk to instead of listening to bombs ramblings which she didn't entirely disagree with.

The two were currently sparring against one another again and discussing while doing so.

"So you and the tail guy huh?" the Jackie asked, surprising toru slightly allowing her to get a hit inside of her defense.

"A bit random to bring up all of a sudden but what about him? His name is Ojiro by the way. Toru replied, returning the hit she received with a right roundhouse but the attack was blocked by Jackie.

"Are you two official or in some weird realm in between?" Jackie asked straightforwardly, toru was a bit shocked by the invasive question but I guess after their display the other day it was valid to ask. While blocking a deliberately slow right jab that Jackie threw so that she could probably listen intently on her response the girl was almost like Mina in the way she really loved to ship people together, like some sort of matchmaker, maybe that's why they got along so well.

"I…i don't know…I guess..in the weird in between stage." Toru said, offering another half hearted punch in return which was easily blocked.

"Well what's the hold up, you too obviously seemed to like each other." Jackie offered a sweep, toru easily jumped over the attack before replying with a knee in return aimed at the girl's face which was blocked by the other girl pushing against her knee and to force toru back and following up with an uppercut that narrowly grazed toru's jaw.

"Well?" Jackie said as the girl said nothing.

"I….I don't know ..it's just ..lets say that lifes been very eventful for me to have or think about a boyfriend." Toru explained

"Well I would think about making a move, you never know when someone could come in and steal him out from under you." Jackie said with a grin, only to reel back as Toru delivered a quick right jab nearly scoring a blow directly in her face.

"Woah, there girl. I'm not referring to myself, I'm not that heartless and besides I don't think I could even pull that off." Jackie replied, holding up her hands defensively for another attack.

"Well what about you? You seem to come on to every guy you can get your eyes on? I'm assuming you don't have much luck in the relationship department." Toru said with a teasing grin as the other girl scoffed at the remark , delivering a combo of light punches and kicks towards the girl in retaliation, out of the 10 hit barrage she only was able to land one gut punch making toru take several steps back.

"Did…I… strike a nerve." Toru jested despite being somewhat hurt from the attack.

"Not really, bomb was starting to look over here so I had to make it look like we were really trying." Jackie whispered as she turned her head slightly towards their teacher, toru took a glance and sure enough their teacher was looking over in their direction. She Raised her hand in an ok sign before coming back at the dark-skinned girl. The two continued to spar more seriously now attacking and blocking with more ferocity than previously after 10 minutes passed bomb ended the sparring session giving the group a 15 minute break to recoup themselves for the next activity.

"As for your question, I haven't been in any relationships actually, this is my first year actually looking around for someone and I'm going at it with as much enthusiasm/force as possible but…it seems to throw guys off most of the time." Jackie said with a laugh as she sat down.

"What made you decide now all of a sudden?" toru asked

"ugh …. Let's just say life got in my way as well and I'm just prepared to love again and feel loved again." Jackie said cryptically in a solemn mood. Toru, seeing the change in tone, didn't want to push the topic. After the break bomb instructed them into one of the few excersies that toru actually liked to do when here each student would get in front of those martial arts wooden dummy things that you would always find in movies. The catch however was with these that the appendages that stuck out would rotate when struck and force the user to block the appendage when it came back around, complement this by the appendages being each on different levels and elevations it would prove challenging to complete activity unscaved and to add even more difficulty the wooden paddles weren't completely wooden they had metal duds embedded in them she had assumed that this would incentivize that the students to not only worry about defense but also to continually train their hands and arms to take heavy impacts.

The reason this slowly became her favorite however was that she got to decide the pace of the exercise and what she should focus on in a given moment, she would primarily focus on hands and upper body movements and then slowly transition into the more lower body movements. Now however it also reminded her of time spent with ojiro training together for the past couple of day's. him showing her the ropes of some of his defensive techniques allowed the exercise to be even easier she was now able to do simultaneously do upper and lower body practice which bomb complemented her for, the group practice some more forms and exercise before bomb gave them their next break.

"You know now that I think about it, two of your friends train under master bang, right?" Toru nods.

"And you and that masked guy come here everyday with zombieman…do you… know a guy with red hair..his name is …um…kyrie..I think? He hangs around darkshine." jackie asked

"Kirishima. His names kirishima.`` Toru replied with a small chuckle.

"Yeah him so you do know him…wait …are all of your friends connected to the S-class?"

"Yup, we are." toru replied, earning a shocked face from the dark-skinned girl

"Woah , then you guys are what the deep web was talking about." the girl said in shock.

"So how did you guys even manage something like that? Like are all you just loaded to get that type of special treatment? Or are all of you just that loaded.`` Jackie asked, rocking on the ball of her feet.

"Again, I'm not rich.. We're all just special, a little special is all." Toru explained.

"Uh huh, sure by the way this kirishima he's ..single? He looked really cool when I saw him fighting, he was fighting this other hero named Bone and lost but he put up a good fight and seems like a really cool dude from the little I spoke with him and if he's loaded then maybe he could buy me a phone like yours." jackie said

"Again we aren't rich and the phones that we have are….prototypes of sorts I guess only we have them on the entire continent. "

"The more you talk the richer you sound." Jackie intervened

" Anyways as for his status? I…I'm not really sure he's single but I'm fairly sure he likes another one of my friends, one of my best friends, a girl named mina." toru explained

"So there in a similar thing like you and ojiro." Jackie pointed out

"No, not quite, Mina doesn't really seem to see him like that well at least from what she says but what she does kinda begs to differ in my opinion ." toru said

"So you're saying there's a chance." Jackie said dramatically, earning a laugh from the girl as she went to check her phone and her laugh died in her throat. Jackie, hearing the sudden stop in laughter, looked back and asked what was wrong. Toru showed the girl her message from uraraka. Jackie nodded in understanding before toru took off towards bomb and he agreed to let her go early, at the cost of working hard later on down the line.

The message goes out: Bang's group, Charako, Tatsumaki, Uraraka

The day started out normal enough with the regular jog around bang's dojo but unlike previous times where bang and midoriya would go off to do hero work, ojiro pleaded his case again to go out with charanko to the other utter bewilderment to the teen next to him. Bang just like before relented, inletting the two go off on their own. He noted that charanko had begun to take things more seriously ever since the two left the first time on their hero adventures the first time and he wanted charanko to get the experience as well, help him overcome the fear that was holding him back.

The two completed their set around bang's dojo and unlike previously bang and midoriya had waited for them to, bang even mentioned that the lap they just performed was charanko's best. After a brief conversation the two were off going into different directions to cover more ground around the city.

"Man, why do you want to do hero work so badly?" charanko complained as the two continued to walk

"Oh, come on it isn't that bad , remember the last time? You were complimented by those girls weren't you?" ojiro replied

"Yeah and I swear that those monkey's freaking ripped enough hair out that I'll start balding." charanko said, causing ojiro to laugh.

"If you're scared just say " Ojiro said with another laugh as his fellow disciples glared at him.

"Ay Bang's words not mine" ojiro defended, making the boy suck his teeth in dissatisfaction.

"I'm not scared of anything." charanko murmured under his breath .

"Well then what are you complaining about?" ojiro said.

"I….I don't want to be classified as a weirdo." charanko remarked

"I hardly think people would find you weird because you fight monsters." ojiro said with a small chuckle

"Not the people but the association itself calls people that aren't heroes that fight monster weirdos and the title usually sticks." charanko explained

"Really? That's an interesting way to do things, I guess you could prefer the word vigilante instead?...or I could just call you my sidekick." ojiro said with a smug grin, angering charanko as expected.

"Hey! Don't forget that in terms of the dojo, I am still your senior so if anything you are my sidekick!" he yelled and just as if god wanted to smite the young man, the monster's sirens started to wring off in the distance, almost completely deflating his energy, his hand that was pointing so straightly at him falling loosely down to his side. Ojiro laughed again before letting him have the way and bowing.

"Well "senior" after you." and to his credit charanko did start moving ahead towards the sound of the sirens, whether that was because of the boy's extreme stubbornness to admit defeat or him wanting to show off in front of other people to make himself look good ojiro would never know.

The two arrived at the scene to see a large humanoid monster with serrated claws attacking a couple in a car. The car seemed to be completely totaled as it had seemingly tried to have escaped from the monster but ended up hitting a lamp post behind it, stalling out. The monster was rearing back its sharp claws to completely pierce through the windshield towards the driver seat. Before the claw could completely pierce through to its target however ojiro had hit the creature in the side of its head knocking it sideways and forcing it's claws to carve a jagged path out of the windshield, the couple inside were screaming as the shattered glass splattered all over them.

"Charanko, get those two to safety." ojiro commanded as he put himself between the car and the monster, the monster was vaguely human like but had a massive underbite with a weirdly shaped head all down along his arms were spiky bony extrusions piercing out of his body, ending in the wicked long bone claws that came through his knuckles three on each hand.

"No problem." Charanko's confident attitude melted away to a more submissive one as he immediately followed Ojiro's orders, getting the couple out of the car and running them away down the street. The monster snapped at the sight and yelled after the fleeing couple.

"What! I thought you were so big and bad brad isn't that right mandy! That's why you left, right!" the monster yelled after the couple. Ojiro stepped in front of the monster line of view of the fleeing couple.

"What is it that you want with them?" ojiro questioned, the monster looked at the boy, his anger apparent.

"I want what's rightfully mine." was all the monster said before lashing out at him striking out with a fury of claw swipes the ojiro dodged out of the way sidesteps moving backwards. He used his tail to trapp one of the creature's hands as he thrusted it forwards.

"What is rightfully yours?" ojiro asked the monster, who struggled to pull his arm back from the tail."

"The girl." it said in a deep voice before lashing out with its other arms attempting to stab ojiro in the gut, ojiro released his tails grip on the monster's arm before jumping back to avoid the blow.

"You don't know how it feels to have someone you love taken from you. Over the most superficial thing and I want revenge, then she'll come back for the same reason she left.`` The monster said before putting its arms together and firing off multiple bone spikes in his direction, Ojiro used his tail to defend himself, the bony spikes deflecting harmlessly off of his tail and to the floor. Ojiro didn't really know how to respond to that, as he never was into relationships much in his younger years as he was too focused on his martial art training. But was heartbreak really enough to turn someone into a monster here? The bone spikes barrage ended and Ojiro took that as his que to get out of dodge, unfurling his tail and launching off of it high into the air, just in time as the deranged person began to leap at him with his claws out.

The monster was about to launch more claws at him while he was in mid-air but surprisingly his attack was redirected elsewhere as charanko came back and jump kicked the creature in the face. Sending the monster spiraling away a couple of feet, it recovered enough to move one of its large arms and out of its forms a larger spike shot out towards charanko who panicked and dived out of the way, another large spike came out of the other hand as the monster rounded on him. Charanko just narrowly avoided a spike aimed directly at his groin before another came flying out at his chest, he couldn't avoid that next one and was about to attempt to redirect it but luckily Ojiro was there to protect him. Using his tail to catch the spike mid-air before throwing it away.

"You okay?" ojiro asked, charanko just nodded his head, that familiar trembling already highlighting his features.

"Thanks for the save there, it was only fitting I return the favor, this guy's a little stronger than I thought sure would be nice if my senior helped me out a little." ojiro said in encouragement and the trembling in his features slightly faded as he got up again quickly and with a strangled renewed energy, puffing out his chest before getting into a stance.

"If my junior is asking for help then who am I to refuse." charanko said proudly as he and ojiro got into a stance next to him. Ojiro rolled his eyes before letting a smile grace his lips.

"Alright , we'll protect each other alright?" Charanko nodded in acceptance before both of them charged at the monster.

It fired it's smaller spikes out at the charging duo and charanko fell back behind ojiro letting the boy's tail take the brunt of the abuse as the spikes just bounced off the metal shine, the monster lunged out with it's left claws, ojiro jumped up and out of the way revealing charanko behind him the monster began to strike out with it's right claw but was halted as a downward kick from ojiro caught the monster in the back of the head, forcing the monster back a couple of steps. The two martial artists pressed the attack as ojiro landed back on the ground, charanko used his tail as a springboard to launch himself at the target landing a jump kick towards the monster's chest forcing him back again. Ojiro came up next launching multiple powerful blows into the monster mid section, before drawing back as the monster went to swipe at him again but charanko was there and blocked the strike for him and delivered a powerful snap kick of his own straight to the monster's jaw. The fight dragged on for a couple of more minutes, the two apprentices covering for each other with blocks or parries, Ojiro noticed that the monster skin started to stretch at odd places all around its form. Assuming what was coming ojiro wrapped charanko completely with his tail and just as he expected the strange extensions of skin exploded out words in a shower of bone spikes, ojiro completely focused in as the spikes rushed towards him trying to remembers bangs technique Water Stream Encampment his hands were a blur of motions as he diverted and dodged spike that were aimed his way the technique wasn't perfect and some spikes got through skimming his face and legs drawing some blood but he perfectly protected his major organs and as he unwrapped charanko from his tail both students seemed to share a mind as both targeted the now deflated monster with another one of bang's attacks force palm striking the monster dead center in its chest and sending it flying back crashing into a wall where it slumped over unconscious.

The two looked at each other for a moment both breathing heavily, ojiro smiled and charanko laughed as the two shared a fist bump before moving forward towards the down monster, ojiro had found some rope to restrain it before he called for the association to go and pick it up. To their surprise the women from before came back, approaching the two hesitantly.

"Is ….is he?" the girl inquired

"No, he's just unconscious, you're mandy I assume?" ojiro asked

"Yes." she said looking at the down monster with sympathy.

"He seemed like he had a grudge against you." charanko said

"I…..I…had …hurt him…in the past, I regret it, I really do but I couldn't face him, I….I ..never expected him to turn out like this." Mandy said with a regretful almost teary tone.

"I don't know what happened between you too and I won't ask but I suggest that you apologize for whatever it was. It won't make up for what was done or what he's become but it could help him from here on out. " ojiro instructed

"Thank you and I…I will." mandy replied

The association came and picked up the monster and after a bit of conversation with the workers, they allowed the girl to travel along with them, just to confront him. The two students continued to do hero work for some more time before deciding to head back towards bang's dojo.

---

Uraraka and tatsumaki were once again training in their usual training area , having a brief look around she was kinda glad that tatsumaki had switched her to these black orbs instead of using the crushed rock from the landscape. Scattered around the land were pitches and holes some massive in size of just empty space where rock and ground was formerly. She was currently in the air again doing her aerial exercises as what tatsumaki called them. She levitated several platforms up in the air as she continued to throw rocks at her, unlike previously where she just relied upon her own strength to leap from platform to platform uraraka wanted her to use the black orbs combined with her grappling hook to propel her.

Given that both her and the orbs were under effects of the zero gravity, naturally the higher mass would pull the lower mass in its direction and just like tatsumaki had said when they first started this type of training she could essentially fly indefinitely well at least in one direction. The down side that she hasn't found out a way to reconcile yet is the ability to stop herself. She would be able to stop herself currently using the platforms that tatsumaki was levitating above for her but the impacts of the orbs on the platform would usually end up with it beginning to crumble and get smaller eventually disappearing entirely which made her use her alternative method of stopping herself which was throwing a different orb in the opposite direction to counteract the force, it would work mostly sometimes stopping her entirely or making her begin to lean towards the direction of the second orb fired off.

The problem with this method however became very obvious not only did it leave her a sitting target with a predictable movement path while in mid air leaving her exposed which tatsumaki was almost eager to exploit pelting her occasionally with light taps from small rocks, her only possible of way of moving out of the way was to make herself heavier to make her trajectory at least somewhat more unpredictable. The second problem came just with how she fought, she attacked by throwing her orbs towards the enemy and which meant she would need to keep track that she had at least two orb on her at all times as well on opposite sides and every time she would foolishly forget about that fact tatsumaki would punish her with a hard rock throw to the gut. And it didn't help that she only had 5 orbs at the moment, with each weighing 20 tons each she still had trouble concentrating in general let alone worry about what hand held how many orb.

Thankfully she finally was being brought down from the sky by tatsumaki and uraraka was trying her best not to hurl her breakfast out as she took heaving breaths. Tatsumaki floated idly down beside her.

"You know, do you have to drop everything when you? Release your ability?" Tatsumaki asked as she floated around the girl. Uraraka turned herself over and sat down on the ground and started to think about the heroine's question.

"yes." uraraka said

"Have you ever tried it before?"

"I…guess not, recently no." uraraka said

"Well give it a go." tatsumaki said as she levitated a couple of small fist sized rocks towards her for her to levitate to the girl sitting down, she took the rocks from the air and began to use her quirks on them letting them float in front of her there were 10 of them just staying their levitating, she tried to concentrate on only half of them before pressing her had together again and releasing her quirk unsurprisingly all of the rocks still fell towards the ground. The girl was suddenly plucked in the head by the floating heroin.

"Don't use all of your fingers, dummy." Tatsumaki remarked, uraraka rubbed her forehead before touching all 10 rocks again and concentrated before touching her index fingers together. As she opened her eyes to look she was shocked to see that some rocks had fallen to the ground.

"Ha! Look clueless to your own powers." tatsumaki mocked

"I…I don't know … I have tried this before when I was younger and it didn't work. Maybe it has something to do with my awakening." uraraka pondered out loud.

"Likely story." tatsumaki replied unconvinced

The two girls began to experiment with this new ability of hers, the conclusion that two came up to was that what was dropped depended on how many things were touched, so the first 5 objects would correspond with each individual finger and thumb and after that they would stack upon each other so if she touched 10 objects and tapped her thumbs together than only the first two objects she touched would fall. While uraraka loved the new ability she dreaded having to keep up with even more things with her quirk, especially when dealing with these heavy orbs. if she accidentally missed timed it she could hit herself with those things it would be real dicey for her.

After a few more moments training tatsumaki again flew with her off to her next adventure, this time she found herself on a beach and the threat was immediately in front of her and unlike the day's before where tatsumaki would place her close by the action this time however she placed her right in the midst of it. Crustaceans were flowing out of the water towards the crowd on the beach most of them were essentially giant crab monsters that were almost 3x her size and their were a lot of them to boot, uraraka could spot at least 10 of them coming up from the ocean towards the civilians another interesting point was that the monsters were already being fought back by some other hero's she noticed the tallest among them was a tall dark skinned almost indigenous looking man that held what looked like to be a giant boomerang, another hero was strapped full of dynamite and was throwing them at the creatures as they advanced, another one hero had two what looked like revolvers but fired way to many bullets to consider such weapons to be, and there was another dark skinned hero beside him he almost appeared to hold no weapons but as she grew closer, she noticed that he had a small blade in his hand.

Tatsumaki wished her luck before, dropping her down in the center of the hero's formation and flying off somewhere, the hero's took a moment to look at the new arrival questioningly.

"Ugh…hello?" Uraraka said nervously, waving her hand.

"Well at least the cavalry's here." the man with the blade remarked

"The more support the merrier, I'm the A-class hero air, what is your name?" man with a large boomerang asked.

" I'm the C-class hero uravity." uraraka

"Ok uravity you stay back with fellow c-class hero poison and provide support." air said pointing to poison which was another dark skinned man in a black sweater patterned with skulls on the outer edges as well as wearing a bandana.

"Ok." Uraraka replied, walking over to her fellow hero.

The dynamite hero had just got done throwing another dynamite into the mob of oncoming crabs dispersing the group of five of them before backing away again from one crab that grabbed at his body with it's claws, the cowboy with the guns was already laying into the creatine's monster with his guns creating small holes that whittle the beast down.

"So what's your gimmick?" poison asked besides uraraka, surprising the girl somewhat.

"Oh um, I can manipulate gravity. And judging by your name I assume you can do something with poisons?" uravity questioned

"Something like that, this knife is coated in a deadly poison. I only need one hit to kill most monsters I come up against but these guys? Their skins are too hard for me to get a clear shot and only gun head over there can pierce them. But the holes are way too small for me to reliably get a shot in." poison said with a monotone almost exasperated expression.

Uraraka thought for a moment on what he said before an idea came to mind.

"Maybe I can be of assistance in that regard, these orbs may not look like much but they're heavy, 20 tons each, if I give 'em a large enough wack across the back it should allow you an opportunity."

"20 tons eh? Well I guess you did say you can control gravity eh. We can give it a shot." poison said as the two planned on what they were going to do, the crab monster kept pushing up towards the beach as the heroes' fought them off, air would throw his large boomerang and knock the two crabs over while gun gun would shoot 20 bullets at their underbellies the crabs twitched for several seconds before going limp, dynamite man was currently being attacked by three more crabs using his dynamite to keep them away from him, kicking up tons of sand and scattering the crabs around him but another crabbed rushed through the shower of sand surprising and just as it's claws was just about to rush around his body and threaten to cut him in half the claw simply fell in front of him as something crashed down on top of it, tearing into its armor making a large hole. This was followed quickly by the new arrival and poison landing on top of it and poison using his blade to stab into the creature. The poison had almost immediate effect, completely making the crab foam in the mouth and drop dead.

"That actually worked." poison said in disbelief as the two got down from the crab

"I told you it would." Uraraka said confidently.

"Yo …where did you two come from?" dynamite man asked

"Above, this girl can manipulate gravity." poison said pointing to uravity.

"Cool." dynamite man said in wonder, looking at the girl.

Before the group could converse some more, the other three crabs started to stir and right themselves and began to surround the group of heroes. The uraraka shot out her orbs towards two of the crabs hitting them directly in the chest and forcing them backwards, dynamite had managed to get a lucky throw. he threw a dynamite directly down the other crabs mouth and exploding it out words, dark green blood splattered around them as the lifeless corpse dropped to the floor, the other poison rushed to jump up on one of the down crabs the orbs hadn't managed to crack straight through the undercarriage armor but created a small enough fissure allowing for poison to drive the knife in, just in time to as the large crabs claws was about to dissect both his head from his body but they fell loosely to the ground as foam again started to seek out of its mouth.

The other crab got up and proceeded towards the ocean, along with three others of its kind signaling the end of the battle. The group of heroes' began to gather around in celebration, calling the association to inform them of the battle completion and the participants, uraraka surveyed around just to be sure that nothing was out of the ordinary and nobody was hurt. She found a pause when she spotted some guy walking off with an unconscious woman and decided to investigate. She ran behind them as the two guy's carried the women into an alley they were about to hand her off to someone in the shadows before uraraka piped up.

"Where are you doing with her?" she said confidently down the alley, the two smaller criminals freaked and nearly dropped the girl on the street as they turned to look at the small brown girl.

"I told you not to be followed." the person in the shadows said with a strained feminen voice. The two criminals set the women on the side, uraraka could see the women had a head injury of some kind. The two turned and took out what appeared to be weapons and pointed it at her but it was too late she had already hurled the one of the orbs at the criminals destroying the weapon and dropping the man towards the ground groaning in agony, the other man rushed at her with a blade slicing down and across her chest uraraka blocked the strike with her orb which shattered the knife into pieces. Before punching the man in the jaw, the man recovered quickly returning the favor and launching a punch into the side of the girls head but she was faster than he thought as she ducked the blow and punched him again in the ribs the blows didn't hurt that much but he still felt sluggish from the struggle, after the fifth exchange the man finally landed a punch on the girl hitting her in the face but do to how sluggish he felt it didn't carry the impact he wanted it to. Uraraka hit the man two more times before he fell to the floor unable to move.

Uraraka looked determinedly back down the hallway, the first man she had hit was still on the floor groaning in pain but a shadow stood over him, she had no doubt it was the women the guy's were talking to she was a around 2 meters tall and was extremely obese, nearly taking up half of the 4 foot wide alleyway, she looked down at the man groaning in pain before raiding her large foot and attempting to slam it down on the guy's face, uraraka shot another orb forth at the large women the sound made the large women stop and look back, to uraraka's surprise the large women backhanded the large orb into the side of the wall making it crash into the wall before falling down towards the side.

"I will have you as an appetizer." the woman said with a sadistic muffled tone as she looked at Uraraka through the shadows. Her head seemed too misshapen to be a human which made her think it was a monster. But as the larger women rushed at her at a surprising speed betraying her size and she stepped back out of the alley to avoid the lunging strike before looking again at the women she could see clearly now as the sun lit up her features the large women wore overalls over a white bloody t-shirt but what disturbed uraraka the most was that she wore a pig mask over her head like some sort of twisted butcher.

The large women launched at her again, this time uraraka stepped into the large women lunge and tapped her in her chest before using her new anti gravity and momentum to flip her and slam her into the ground in a innovation of her gravity plus technique, she continued her attack by rapidly slamming her fist into the large women's chest. She managed only seven shots before the large women grabbed both of her hand and attempted to rise off the floor, uraraka thought quickly enough to outstretch two of her middle finger tapping them together an releasing her quirk which dropped two of the 20 ton orbs to the ground, luckily missing the large women below her and hitting the ground the added weight brought both of them down to the ground again where uraraka was able to hit the tall women three more times before a green aura suddenly surrounded her.

"Play times, over…somethings happening at the headquarters and we need to go." tatsumaki said simply.

"Wait there is an injured woman in the alley way, she may really be hurt." Uraraka argued, tatsumaki sucked in her teeth before levitating all of the three people from the alleyway.

Before setting the two men on the ground on one side before the women on the other, the woman was suddenly enveloped in a green cocoon before tatsumaki lifted her off and sent her on her way presumably to a hospital.

"as for these people." tatsumaki said as she lifted her finger behind and flicked it forward, suddenly the form of dynamite man and poisons came sprawling forwards. Levitating in mid air in an upside down fashion .

"You two take care of this for her and don't forget to give her the credit. Got that." tatsumaki scolded, dynamite simply nodded as poison replied.

"Sure, sure just put me down." he said with another monotone but slightly annoyed voice. Tatsumaki obliged and off the two went off towards hero association HQ, she wondered what the reason was for the sudden summon as she marveled at the streets racing down below her, but something caught her interest as they went over the main road leading to A-city, something seemed to be moving fast down their surrounded by what look like green electricity? Could it be? Is that deku down there?

Midoriya and bang had taken off towards the closest disaster area, surprisingly this disaster wasn't caused by a monster crisis at all this time around it was an "ordinary" bank robbery with just the traditional bad guy's and crooks. The fight was over extremely quickly as the two arrived midoriya had used his blackwhip to wrap around all of the fleeing suspects capturing them all. The only problem was seemingly with the police which were at the scene as well, almost all of them mean mugging Midoriya even as he offered the thugs to them. They took the thugs away and almost reluctantly thanked Midoriya for the help as they drove off.

Midoirya was never one to dwell on such things but it really shocked him how much distaste the hero's and police have for each other in this world especially given this world's circumstances compared to their own. The next threat that popped up was a tiger disaster level threat this monster was another strange one; it didn't have many discernible features to its body being almost ghoul-like in appearance, no face, eyes, or ears on its face, its legs seemingly lacked kneecaps as well. Just a long slender body, its body was all black with appendages coming out of its back. It was currently using those appendages to wrap around a car and crush it completely in its grasp.

Midoriya tried to attack it but the creature seemingly vanished from thin air, leaving the car suspended in mid air for a moment before falling midoriya caught the car and gently placed on the ground before gently placing the creature back down on the ground and using his strength to ripped the crumpled car doors off and help the unconscious family out of the car, but just as he reached inside his danger sensed flared again and the creature came back even larger than before and shot out multiple needle like appendages at midoriya and civilians in the car. midoriya wrapped his black whip around the civilians effectively shielding them from the creatures attack but as for midoriya bang was their for him he diverted all of the creatures appendages forcing them to stick themselves into the ground, before the creature could react bang was on him launching a flurry of blows that ended in a piercing fang strike that seemingly completely evaporated the creature from existence. Bang looked at his hands in confusion. What he struck wasn't a completely solid material, more like a combination of smaller things.

"Is…is it gone?" Midoriya asked as he finished checking up on the family.

"I believe so. It's gone but not dead I can assure you." bang said as he surveyed the area.

"What was that thing?" Midoriya asked.

"I do not know but…" bang cut himself off as he vanished from midoirya's very eyes and his danger sense kicked in again making him turn around just to see bang again blocking that creatures attack again but instead of deflecting the appendages bangs grabbed a hold of all of them. Holding the creature there prevented it from moving or so he thought as the creature seemingly disappeared again and appeared elsewhere some distance away.

"I'm not sure that this creature is entirely biological, it may be a machine of some sort." bang said in speculation.

"Are you sure?" midoriya asked in surprise as they looked at the creature again, it certainly explained why it looks like just a walking shadow.

"There may be a controller of some kind, can you not sense it with your ability?" Midoriya shook his head.

"I can only sense that thing, If that thing is artificial, then its user must not have enough bloodlust to trigger my sense for me to track him." midoriya instructed.

bang nodded in understanding well that's one thing the two could work on for the future he thought. He observed his surroundings, the damage was localized to a 100 meter area , the monster didn't seem to have any objective instead of just carnage which wasn't out of the ordinary for a monster but this one seemed different somehow. The place was clear of everyone except for the family that was in the car. Was there a connection bang wondered. The monster attacked again and again it aimed at midoriya which was next to the family of three, midoriya was quick enough to dodge out of the way of the strike and move the family away.

Bang began to formulate a theory, to test said theory he instructed midoriya to pick up the family and take them away from their and just like he expected the shadow creature disappeared and continued to follow midoriya along seemingly teleporting every time the green haired boy traveled more than 50 meters from where the monster stood. So the family must have been connected somehow. Bang stopped midoriya from moving any more before turning to the creature again as it attacked midoriya again, it seemingly ignored bang no matter how many times he would dispel its form with his attacks.

Bang decided a different approach speeding over and separating the family members each just above 50 meters apart from each other just to see where the monster would turn up and the monster appeared next to the kid, it just stood there hovering protectively over it. Midoriya was about to jump into action but bang stopped him.

"What's wrong?" midoriya asked

"I'm not sure of the details but it seemed like the child and that thing are connected." bang said as the two looked over at the pair the creature stared back at them but made no movements towards them, only stared with its blank face. Midoriya was a bit disturbed but after a few minutes nothing happened and he relaxed as bang seemed to be right. So the pair collected the parents and waited for them to wake up, the aberration seemed to have sucked itself back inside of the child's head as all three family members woke up the women was at first shocked and almost saddened by the sight of the heroes before setting her sights on midoriya and noticeably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is my child?" the women asked, sitting up from the ground.

"No worries mam, your child is safe right over there." bang comforted pointing in the direction of the child as midoriya went to bring it over.

"Thank you for not …killing him." the man said bowing in front of bang.

"No, need to thank me but I must ask what is with the child?" bang asked

The parents looked at each other nervously, pondering on what they should tell the legendary hero. The wife nodded her head which signaled that it was ok for him to tell him.

"Our son had a bad case of schizophrenia, he…he was bullied for it at school and but he..hid it from us, eventually it got to a point where…something happened to him, he changed the voices that he could hear began to manifest in his sleep or when he wasn't conscious." the father explained

"And these aberrations are hostile?" bang asked

"Not all of them. Just certain ones are extremely protective of him. Shadowman especially. " the mother defended. Midoriya brought the young boy over towards his parents before crying an apology, midoriya gave the family a moment to make up and recompose themselves before speaking again.

"Have you thought of going to the hero association?" Midoriya asked and almost instantly in response the woman hugged her son tighter.

"NO!...No…no…we feared that….the ..association would deem him too much of a risk ..and …and." she didn't finish her statement as she hugged her son even more, burying her face into the boy's shoulder.

"That's an understandable concern." bang said rubbing his chin.

"I can promise you that they won't hurt him. Me and my friends aren't exactly normal either " Midoriya said earnestly, the parents weren't completely convinced but they thanked the boy for the offer, the family were about to go on foot but midoriya asked to carry them to where they needed to go, he reminded them that his offered still applied if they decided to changed their minds before him and bang left back to the dojo.

As midoriya and bang opened the door to his dojo, they found charanko and ojiro already there, bang's former only pupil was busy helping disinfect some wounds on ojiro's face.

"Is everything alright?" Midoriya asked as he looked over his friend's wounds, his karate gi was slightly ripped on his legs and had some slight scarring on his cheeks which were now covered in bandages.

"I'm fine, we just had a run-in with a tricky monster is all." ojiro said casually.

"Cleary, you seem alright though?" Midoriya said, questioning charanko, he puffed out his chest and folded his arms as he finished patching up ojiro.

"Well of course I am, I am his senior after-" his boasting was cut short by ojiro's tail that slapped the young adult upside the head, charanko yipped out in pain rubbing his head before sighing and mumbling out.

" He protected me from the monster's attack, but he did admit that he needed my help to defeat said monster." charanko pointed out, earning a chuckle from the blonde sitting down.

"That I did, I guess." ojiro replied.

"I'm proud of you for supporting him and I'm equally as proud of you helping young ojiro in his hero duties" bang said with a bow towards ojiro and charanko, charanko bashed in the acknowledgement from his master thanking bang instead for everything he taught him till now, his continuous praise was interrupted by a phone ring tone.

"Oh right your phones have been ringing nonstop for the past 10 minutes now, I think it may be from the association." charanko remarked

"Thank you, I shall take it and then we can begin our training in a few moments." bang said with a nod before going to answer the phone.

The three students sat and waited for as bang was on the phone, the were conversing about the monsters they faced on their journey but midoriya suddenly freezed up as his danger sense flared again, it seemed to have been coming from where bang was and than it magically moved away, the front doors to bang's dojo banged open as wind rushed passed them. Ojiro and charanko were still coming to terms of why midoriya stopped when he suddenly disappeared as well in a billowing of green electricity.

"What the heck was that about?" charanko asked, ojiro shrugged his shoulder before he looked through the open doorway and proceeding around the corner to where bang was on the phone only to see the phone on the ground the person was still on the phone it was a women that sounded to be in distress, ojiro just told the women that bang was on his way before hanging up the phone.

"So what are we going to do?" charanko asked

"I guess we'll wait here, whatever they're dealing with I'm sure the two of them can handle it." ojiro assured him.

Midoriya followed along the trail of anger and hate constantly pursuing the figure which he assumed was bang but he was fast much faster than he's ever displayed when he was with him previously. Midoriya was always teetering on the edge of his danger sense radius forcing him to occasionally use fa jin every few leaps just to stay on that edge. It became obvious where bang was headed as he got on the main road towards A-city but bang seemingly even went even faster than before completely leaving him in the dust but he knew where he was going now so he would just meet him there. If something somehow got under his skin then the situation must have been serious, he hoped none of his friends had got caught up in whatever it was, speaking of friends he was surprised when he got a message from someone checking it was from uraraka but what shocked him was the message it was an image…of him? …from above. He looked up and true enough slowly there she was flying up past him with her hero.

Uraraka waved at midoriya from above, she could barely make out his figure from their distance but suddenly he started to suddenly seem to be getting closer to her until suddenly he was right there next to her. He shot out his black whip to get a hold of her arm as she floated passed but the whip was diverted away and he was trapped in a green aura.

"Hey! I don't give free rides. kid" tatsumaki said as she levitated midoriya in front of her.

" Wait please? He's my…..my..boyfriend." uraraka announced blushing feverishly.

"Is that supposed to mean something to me?" tatsumaki said absently

"Come on? please …I'll try extra hard in our practice. ``Uraraka pleaded, tatsumaki rolled her eyes but levitated midoriya back next to her but she was careful not to put them into the same bubble uraraka noted making her pout slightly.

"Do you know what's going on?" Midoriya asked Uraraka as they floated through the air.

"Not many tatsumaki only told me that there was trouble at the headquarters and they were calling for help. What about you?" uraraka replied

"I don't know much, bang just suddenly left in this direction and I couldn't really keep up with him after he got on the open road." Midoriya replied.

" oh wow, do you think it's something serious?" uraraka asked

"Hmph doubtful, they're probably just wasting our time, like they usually do." tatsumaki said dismissively.

The two just looked at each other for a moment before looking forwards again. Tatsumaki continued onwards and the three finally made it to the association's HQ, tatsumaki had set the couple down before floating inside by herself the teens following along behind her. Something was immediately not right with them as they continued down the hallway they found bloody footprints learning in the opposite direction as well as multiple medical teams carrying people away on stretchers out of a single room, some of the bodies were horribly mangled and brutalized, as the two stepped in the room both teens had to take a moment to scrunch their face at the sheer smell of it all, uraraka had to take another moment to just compose herself combined with her already building nausea from the weight combined with the scene that was in that room nearly made her puke.

Midoriya said that she didn't have to come inside if she didn't want to whatever had happened in there seemed to be over now but she persisted she wanted to be strong not just for him but herself, she placed her orbs on the ground and deactivated her quirk on them before both of the teens headed inside and it was just like they were expecting blood was scattered over the walls and the broken bodies still littered the floor of place along with papers. Midoriya's attention was drawn by the sound of a loud, badgering tatsumaki that was yelling at Sitch for some reason, bang was there next to him. His attention was next drawn by uraraka who had grabbed one of the scattered documents on the floor, one with the least amount of blood on it and had apparently read what it entailed.

"We may have been right about the monsters." Uraraka remarked as she showed Midoriya the papers.

"But even among criminals who could have done this and why?" Uraraka said.

"That's a good quest-" midoriya statement died in his throat as he suddenly felt exhausted and lightheaded, his eyes slowly began to close as if in he was exhausted no matter how hard he tried to keep them open and he suddenly lost his balance and began to fall backwards towards the ground, uraraka reacted almost immediately touching him with her quirk and making him begin to float above the ground, the last things he heard was uraraka calling his name and then everything went dark.

Deliberations: Class 1A

Uraraka was surprised that the first face she saw in the hospital was none other than sero, barging into the room and spotting her and deku laying down on the bed still unconscious. He approached quickly observing the green haired boy for any wounds but found none he turned to uraraka.

"What happened?" Sero asked, his voice deep in worry.

"I….I don't know he was fine one moment and then he just …fell over." Uraraka said her words coming out in noticeable discomfort before she corrected herself and spoke again in a more calmer and upbeat tone.

"The doctors said that he's in a stable condition and that nothing seems to be a problem with him physically." Uraraka explained.

"Is something wrong with his head then? Was it a monster attack?" Sero said, leaning against the wall next to her.

"They couldn't find anything clinically wrong with him but they noted that despite his current state that he has a heightened sense of brain activity and bang said that they hadn't fought a monster that could have afflicted him with anything like this on their patrol." Uraraka replied.

"Do…they know when he will be up again?" sero asked, uraraka simply shook his head.

"No…." she said as the room drew silent again as the two watched deku, the next to enter was Aoyama and Mineta who basically asked the same thing sero did.

This continued to happen until mostly all of their classmates were in the hospital room watching midoriya unconscious form. As night drew closer, the people inside could already hear the violent outburst of bakugo storming down the hall and that meant that the others that were missing were coming as well. Bakugo came in with his usual tone yelling up a storm in the relatively small room as the 19 teens crowded inside almost equally as loudly everyone already inside shhhed at bakugo before he got all of them kicked out of their and the explosive blonde reluctantly agreed, lowering his tone a fragment of what it once was but still probably could be heard next door. Everyone was now caught up to speed on the situation and what had happened to midoriya during the day.

"It's likely the idiots quirk." bakugo remarked after hearing what happened.

"What do you mean?" Iida asked immediately.

"One for all allowed him to speak to the past holders, maybe they needed to speak to him or something." bakugo guessed.

"So you're saying that he's going to be ok?" uraraka asked

"He'll be fine, don't worry…idiot wouldn't kick the bucket that easily." bakugo said in a half complement.

The air in the room seemed to noticeably elevate at his words, hearing that deku was fine and the group turned their attention to the new arrivals, specifically the ones that have been absent for a month now. Before they could really talk about everything the nurse came by and said that visiting hours are up and that the teens needed to leave soon. Iida bowed and said that they will and started to make their way out of the room towards their normal meeting place.

"You're staying uraraka?" Tsu asked as she noticed the girl didn't get up to move and file up like everyone else.

"Yeah, I want to stay here until he wakes up." Uraraka said, froppy smiled and nodded.

"Just don't do anything to him while we're gone." froppy said bluntly, making the girl blush and slam her hands into her face causing her to float upwards but tsu stopped her.

"Wha-what ….why …what are ..you implying ..I would never …we haven't even.." the girls mumbling was hushed by a finger to her mouth.

"I was just joking uraraka. I guess we'll see you two in the morning then" tsu said, calming the girl down.

"Yeah…hopefully." Uraraka said still glum before looking back at deku, tsu turned her head to face her again.

"He'll be ok alright." Tsu said reassuringly, earning a nod from the brunette before she left with the others and informed them of the situation. The last thing Uraraka heard from them was Mina gushing about her staying behind and begging Momo to set up a camera just in case something juicy happened.

The group finally got to their usual meeting place and now the focus was on Iida and kaminari. As the class president again he decided to go first and told the class everything about his time with flash the intense training, to the raid on the human traffickers hide out, to the prisoners he freed and the aftermath of him going through even more gruel training in the snow before being abandoned by the hero in the middle of a blizzard.

"I can't believe a hero would act in such a way over such a simple matter of losing some hair." momo said aghast

"We should totally tell someone about him. That's no way to treat someone, what if you were seriously hurt.`` Sato complained.

" child emperor said that the S-class are nearly untouchable in terms of supervision even if we attempted to tell someone about it, at best he would get a slap on the wrist and that's all." tokoyami replied

"How do you know if he's not just covering for him?" Toru asked.

"I believe him, I learned that one of the S-class heroes is a convict and routinely breaks out of prison to perform hero duties" Shoji explained, earning some shocked gasps and murmurs from his classmates.

"Well I guess that's that then huh? But what about that thing?" ojiro gestured to the small bear creature that was currently chasing mineta around the room forcing the teen to cling to the walls to get away.

"Koda! Tell it to stop! tell it to stop chasing me!" he screamed from the ceiling as the bear creature jumped up at him.

{Aikaiando, you're scaring him} Koda explained, causing the small bear cub to look towards him then back away.

{I was only playing with him, I wasn't gonna hurt him, promise} aikaiando replied before going over and laying down next to him.

"This is aikaiando or just aki for short, she's a cub we met along the way she lost her mother and father and had nowhere else to go so I asked if I could keep her." koda explained

"Isn't she the cutest little thing!" mina said, rubbing its head.

" It's something alright." mineta remarked getting down from the ceiling again

"Is it safe to be here? It is the heart of the hero association after all." shoji remarked

"Child emperor said that it should be ok, he messaged sitch before we got here and he said that he would let people know." jiro replied

"Oh and I don't know if you all read the chat but both Koda and Iida awakened on their journey. Show em Iida.`` Mina said, gesturing to the boy, Iida obliged, raising his hands and showing his classmates the new additions to his arms.

"Oh cool that's just like your brothers isn't it?" toru asked

"It's similar but not quite the same, his was one long muffler but mine are similar to the ones on my legs having multiple mufflers." Iida explained

"How much faster did that make you? Drive knight said that my awakening made me 15x faster than before." kaminari asked

"I…really don't know they're still new to me, after all I haven't really got a chance to try them all all too much." Iida replied

"Ooh we should have a race to see if the fastest in the class changed at all!" toru suggested

"Oh my god, Kirishima said the same thing!" Mina screeched as both girls high fived.

"What about you koda, what does your awakening allow you to do?" ojiro asked in curiosity.

"O-oh me well it allows me to take a portion of the animals I control power for myself even monsters…if they are willing that is."

Koda explained as he used his anivoice and aki responded in kind before he got up and lifted up the couch he and three others were sitting on with a single handle, earning a bunch of shouts and whistles of praise for the boy who shy away from the attention.

"Man, that's so cool. I wonder what mine's gonna be." mineta said

"Given your quirk I bet it be something weird just like you." jiro remarked, before mineta could retort to the taunt momo quickly switched subjects

"sero what about your journey?" momo inquired.

"Well while the trip wasn't as bad as Iida's, I didn't really have to do much of anything the entire time, I mostly just stayed out of the samurai's way mostly…well that was until before we reached the island." sero said

Sero than explained to his classmates of the attack on the ship a week before they got to the island of these fish monsters calling themselves the seafoak, apparently the place their headed was their main capital of their civilization, when they got their it was pretty much like Iida's story the swordsman butchered them all without hesitation. He told the class of how he tried to ask/begg the seafolk to just stand down and let them search for the sword they were looking for but that went how'd you'd expect.

"The seafolk huh? The tank tops reported that their king had attacked J-city before so I guess they took your incursion as a counter attack for that.`` Shoji suggested.

"Yeah I figured that and tried to tell them but they didn't listen, but there was a small kid there as well and I don't know I kind of just acted and helped it escape the slaughter." sero said, receiving a bunch of praise for doing so.

" Are you sure that won't be a problem later?" tokoyami said, stopping all the appraisals cold.

"Are you suggesting that he let them kill a child?" tsu was almost horrified by the response from the dark teen he was edgy but things do have a limit.

"Not at all but this world operated\s differently than our own and while the kid was undoubtedly innocent from the sins of it's species…it wouldn't see it the way we do and would undoubtedly seek some sort of retribution for its kind. Sparing was the right choice but letting it go free could prove to be disastrous." Tokoyami explained his point in more detail, making the others come around to his way of reasoning.

"I'm sure that's the most you ever said in a single sitting tokoyami and that was a very smart way of seeing things sorry for jumping the gun like that." tsu said

"None taken, I can see how you can make the misunderstanding." Tokoyami said simply in return.

"Tokoyami is right as well, monsters can go through explosive growth if they are enraged enough." koda explained, pointing to aki.

"Yeah I know that, one of atomics' samurai's pupils told me as such but I guess I could have handled the situation a little better after all and just like I told him I'll accept the consequences of my actions." Sero said with conviction, balling his fist.

"Just as a hero should." Iida said in complement giving sero a thumbs up for his determination, the rest of the time was filling in the two new arrivals about what has happened since they left which was more or less the same. The only major entries of the month being the awakenings and the shady monsters the association had them re-capture Oh and mina would point out uraraka and midoriya becoming official, toru took a side glance to kaminari the boy noticing and jestering for her to stay quiet and to his surprise she did so. The group discussed some more before all of them headed their separate ways. Both toru and ojiro went to their training area determined to try even harder since their day was cut short. Bakugo left towards his training area and ran into that lady again.

"Oh you returned I had thought I scared you off." the lady said, bakugo countered with a laugh.

" You think you could scare me? Just because you're a higher rank than me, don't think you're better than me." bakugo said offhandedly

"I don't think I'm better, I know I'm better." she said in a tone like it was an obvious fact, bakugo whirled around to face her but found nothing, not even a trail. He sucked his teeth before continuing on to his training area.

The other side: midoriya, Uraraka

Midoriya opened his eyes and he peered at nothing but a dark void before suddenly off in the distance he saw the familiar shape of a crumbling building in the distance knowing what that meant at this point he quickly tried to float himself over to the structure. As he began to float himself in that direction he thought about how he hasn't heard any of the vestiges of one for all since he's got here, he remembered that being had did something to them when he was last here and thought that it somehow got rid of them entirely which slightly scared him for a moment but given that he was still here now maybe he just put them in time out, midoriya thought as he finally managed to get to the dilapidated building reaching his hand up to claps on the edges of the hole.

Midoriya briefly panicked as his hand was grabbed by a larger one and suddenly lifted up but he relaxed as the boisterous voice of the 5th vestige banjo rang free as he was suddenly put into a bear hug.

"My god little guy I'd never thought I would see you again, I thought I was gonna be a goner there." banjo announced before dropping midoriya back to the ground, he could hear another vestige he believed the 6th user En replied.

"You're already dead." in his usual monotone voice, he couldn't see the user specifically talk as there were two other vestiges in front of him besides the 5th that being the 6th vestige nana and the 4th user Shinomori. The next to speak to him was Nana, all might's predecessor and mentor.

"Sorry about what happened a couple of days ago, I've….I've gone through those same emotions before and ….didn't want you to repeat my same mistakes….you're still a kid and you should still have some normality to your life and love is one of them." Nana apologized, Midoriya was initially confused about what she was talking about but as he continued to listen to her he figured out what she was referring to, so that feeling within him was from her.

"You should have seen her, oh my god..she was furious I think that's what woke us up from that thing's sleep spell or whatever." bajo said

"Hell has no fury like a woman scorned. Danger sense was surely flying during that whole debacle.`` Shinomori said, shivering slightly like he was cold.

"Thank you….I…I appreciate your concern. It helped me a lot." Midoriya replied. The four seemed to be about to strike up another conversation when the second vestige voice rang out over the dark void, harsh and serious.

"Are you all just going to sit there and act like nothing is happening or do you want to actually discuss what we brought him in here for." As he finished speaking the three vestiges in front of midoriya all of their smiles and mood were completely 180, the smiles turned into frowns, the upbeat and somewhat cheerful attitude turned into a more solemn and glum look as they all looked at midoriya.

"Come now, it's best to discuss something more light-hearted before getting into the more serious topics." Midoriya heard the first vestige reprimanded the second.

"Tch, whatever…I disagree with what they were talking about. His mind should remain focused on the goal, not some girl, especially with what's going on." the second said dismissing the first.

"What's going on?" Midoriya asked, looking at Nana, she shook her head and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Just be prepared ok." was all she said as all three vestiges went to take their seats now that midoriya could see the entire room, he was directly behind his chair that obscured some of his vision he could see the others vestiges but something in front of him caught his attention, above his chair was something sticking out it was an object almost like a horn and …it was golden? Midoriya took hesitant steps forward, the words the second said just moments prior repeating again and again in his head making him more wired and concerned with every step he took.

When he finally crested the edges of his chair to get a full view of all the vestiges his heart almost stopped as he continued to focus ahead trying to see what the strange object was…his voice was caught in his throat he couldn't speak or say anything only inch himself closer and closer tears threatened to stream down his face at what he saw…..sitting in the chair directly in front of him was all might or what should have been all might's incomplete form but he was more corporeal than ever before the burning man image almost completely melted away into a full complete body which signified that he was on death's door but he also noticed that he was significantly older than he was previously when he last saw him some of his hair began to gray and near the center of his head, but looking at that that brought his line of sight to the truly horrifying discovery near the upper right of his forehead sprouted a massive horn and not just any horn….this was familiar to him he rushed the rest of the way not minding his footsteps and fell right next to the aberration of his master.

He couldn't stop the thoughts swarming amongst his head, his tears that he struggled to hold back streaming down his face freely. He attempted to touch the horn but his hands simply phased through; he retracted his hands before slamming them on the ground. He raised his head up to look his master in the eyes, they seemed so lifeless and gone but somehow still held a fire and Midoriya didn't know if he was just seeing things or not but he could have sworn that he could see his lips moving slightly. He quickly wiped away his tears and paid close attention to his mouth and the words he was making.

"F….fou…four…..re…return?" , " chi….chisa…chisaki?", "tr….trai…traitor…..U…A?"

And then the lips would repeat, the same words over and over again before suddenly he started to revert again his body becoming more and more flame like and transparent his youth was coming back and the horn was getting smaller , this confirmed midiorya's suspicions out right and the tears returned in full force. All might's mouth and features became unreadable again as he was now just a flaming spirit that resembled all might again.

"We ….brought you in here, because of that." the first vestige said quietly.

"All for one isn't just sitting back and letting you enjoy your vacation, things are still happening over there." the second added

"I think he could tell that by what just happened, smart guy." banjo said in retort.

Midoriya didn't move or say anything he remained on the ground just staring blankly at the floor at the information he just received, it brought everything back into perspective for him..he had trouble just digesting what was happening right now. He felt a comforting hand on his back.

"Look, we're here for you, take some time to think about it ok." the comforting voice of nana said and midoriya took her advice shutting his eyes and letting out deep breaths to calm himself down.

The next moment he opened his eyes he was back in the real world but he quickly pointed out not his world, the thoughts of everything was threatening to overwhelm him he found it hard to breath and he was hot all over. He checked his surroundings only to find he was in a hospital bed, no surprise their but what did surprise him was the brunette girl that sat across from his bed, uraraka was sleeping in her chair, he briefly forgot about his troubles for a moment as he watched the girl steadily breathed slowly as she slept, that probably wouldn't be good for her back he thought for a moment before starting to use his black whip and move it steadily towards her he hesitated for a moment as the seconds words rang through his head again but he continued forth on what he was doing carefully wrapping the black whip around her and gently placed her in the hospital bed next to him.

Seeing that she was safely secured in the bed and comfortable he turned his back on her and tried to get some sleep himself, despite being unconscious he still felt exhausted from what he just witnessed and what all might's words could mean but that didn't matter to him as much as what that horn signified…..his body started to vibrate and tremble and he felt extremely hot as if he was suffocating as that horned signified so much…so many people he failed, eri, miro, the teachers, and all might he failed all of them are they ok? Are they even alive right now? Midoriya started to tear up again before he suddenly felt a hand on his back making him freeze completely. He turned around and looked at Uraraka, who smiled at him.

"You're awake." she said, midoriya not trusting his voice simply nodded.

"I….I'm sorry ….for ..you know not asking you to share the bed." Midoriya said quietly, creating as much distance between them as possible, his movement allowed Uraraka to get a good look at his face in the light where she saw his tear stained face and her smile dropped into a face of concern.

"Are…are you ok?" she asked him, midoriya hesitated for a moment. Should he tell her everything he just found out? He didn't even know where to begin with everything.

"Ur..uraraka …it's..I …back home …all might" his voice came out shaky and broken midoriya kept cutting himself off and starting again as more and more emotion started to creep into his voice until he was eventually silenced by a finger from uraraka.

"How about we just get some sleep ok. When you're ready you can tell me later alright?" uraraka stated, midoriya body moved on its own, he brought the girl in for a tight embrace and she returned it after briefly being surprised, he was still shivering in her arms so she began to run her hand through his hair to comfort him which slightly worked, he became more and more calm and his body noticeably relaxed.

"Thank you." was all midoriya said as both of them felt comfortable enough to fall back asleep.

For those that know and think asterius is a little on the nose, YES it's exactly like that actually imagine that's basically how the character looks.

A slightly grim fact about the ending of this chapter, I had just got home from euthanizing my dog(she had a good 14 years with us) which ironically gave me some inspiration in writing that ending scene with uraraka and midoriya.
