Chapter 11: Truth
In his hospital room, Ikuto who after bathing and eating was relaxed in his bed thinking about his friends.
Ikuto: Guys, find Midoriya.
Just thinking about them, but mostly Midoriya, Ikuto remembered the truth about Midoriya's quirk.
Ikuto: Midoriya, I'm sure our friends will take you to the UA. It doesn't matter if you're the One For All carrier. You are welcome to the UA. "Mentally speaking"
Mentally mentioning the One For All quirk, Ikuto also recalls the day he woke up in the Central Hospital a few days after the war between heroes and villains on Jaku.
Ikuto: I still remember the day I learned the truth about your quirk, my friend. "Mentally speaking"
"Flashback"
Ikuto: "Awakening"
Toshinori: I see that your friend is waking up, young Midoriya.
Midoriya: Ikuto...
Inko: "Aiming at Ikuto"
Ikuto: Ahh... My head hurts. Where am I?
Midoriya: I see you woke up, Ikuto.
Ikuto: Midoriya! Where are we?
Midoriya: We are in a hospital.
Ikuto: I see. If I remember correctly, I heard that Shigaraki escaped along with other accomplices of his.
Toshinori: Don't lose hope, young man.
Ikuto: You're right, sir. What? Ah! Sorry, sir! I haven't introduced myself properly! My name is Ikuto Midoriya! "Embarrassed"
Toshinori: Don't worry, boy.
Ikuto: Thank you, sir! Madam, excuse me I didn't introduce myself correctly either!
Inko: Don't worry, son. There's no reason to be embarrassed.
Ikuto: Thank you.
Midoriya: Ikuto, she is my mother.
Ikuto: What? Your mother?
Inko: That's right. It's my pleasure, I'm Inko Midoriya.
Ikuto: My pleasure, ma'am!
Midoriya: "Smiling"
As soon as Ikuto saw Midoriya's mother, he remembered the mother he had in the fake life Garaki created for him. However, the young man wouldn't think about it too much.
Ikuto: This lady reminds me of the mother I had in that fake life. "Speaking mentally and with a slightly sad look"
Inko: Is something wrong with you, boy?
Ikuto: I'm fine, ma'am. Don't worry.
Midoriya: From his look, I would say Ikuto... remembered something that made him sad. "Mentally speaking"
Ikuto: Don't worry either, Midoriya. I am fine. "Smiling slightly"
Midoriya: Okay, Ikuto.
Toshinori: From what young Midoriya said, it is clear that this boy is his clone by having a similar appearance and personality. "Mentally speaking"
Midoriya: Ikuto, I also want to introduce you to All Might.
Ikuto: All Might? But he's not here.
Toshinori: I am All Might, young man.
Ikuto: What? Is it a joke, Midoriya?
Toshinori: "Changing to his muscular form"
Ikuto: What!? "Surprised"
Toshinori: "Returning to his slim form"
Ikuto: Impossible! No way! That's not true! "Screaming disappointed"
Midoriya: Calm down, Ikuto!
Ikuto: It's impossible! "Screaming disappointed"
Toshinori: It reminds me of when young Midoriya saw my true appearance. "Mentally speaking"
Inko: I wasn't wrong. He is the same as my son. "Mentally speaking"
Midoriya: Listen, Ikuto, All Might and I have to talk about something very important with you.
Ikuto: Okay, Midoriya, but I still can't believe this man is All Might.
Toshinori: I don't blame you for that, young man. Young Midoriya was very surprised when he saw my true appearance.
Ikuto: I apologize, All Might. What do you want to talk to me about?
Midoriya: It's about my quirk.
The next thing Midoriya and All Might would tell Ikuto would be about the truth of One For All, its previous carriers, the villain All For One, Tomura Shigaraki and his creator Kyudai Garaki, and at the end of the conversation, Ikuto is surprised.
Ikuto: I can't believe it. I never imagined how special your quirk was. Nor that Shigaraki was a relative of a previous One For All user. What I dislike the most is that All For One just wanted him to get a new body. "Surprised look"
Midoriya: Everything we've told you is true, Ikuto.
Toshinori: You have to help us stop All For One and Shigaraki.
Ikuto: That's what I'll do.
Midoriya: We appreciate your support, Ikuto.
Toshinori: By the way, young Midoriya told me a lot about your battle against Shigaraki. How could you become so strong in just 2 months?
Ikuto: That was thanks to the extremely strong training I had. I will give you the details of my training.
Toshinori: Strong training?
Midoriya: Now that I remember, he mentioned a workout when I met him.
Ikuto: Before my training began, Garaki the insane scientist who created me with Midoriya's blood knew that I would not be willing to obey him, so he created a device to place it on the back of my neck, and thus turn me into his puppet.
Midoriya: Was that how you submitted to his orders?
Ikuto: Yes, but that was not the only function of the device, it also provided me with energy in case I ran out of energy to the point where I wanted to sleep.
Toshinori: Despite that device, did you need to eat anyway?
Ikuto: Yes, I needed at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of refreshment and rest.
Midoriya: When the device was ready and placed on your neck, did your training start?
Ikuto: Yes, my training began when Garaki, ordered Detnerat to make powerful robots for me to start training. At first, I had a hard time fighting these robots, but thanks to the constant mistreatment I received, I was able to awaken my quirk, and I destroyed the robots.
Midoriya: ¿Did you awaken your quirk?
Ikuto: That's right. I couldn't awaken my power, but thanks to hatred I woke it up. That is, I was able to awaken my state called Four Blades – X.
Toshinori: "Pressing the fists"
Inko: "Frown"
Ikuto: When Garaki saw my quirk awakening he became impatient, and he add to my training 4 hours in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Midoriya and Toshinori: "Surprised look"
Inko: Scoundrel! Don't you have pity on a child at least!? "Speaking mentally with an angry look"
Ikuto: Three weeks later, Garaki decided to increase the difficulty of my training, so he stopped using robots, and ordered powerful members of the Paranormal Liberation Front to confront me. Those members were Geten, Dabi and Re-Destro.
Midoriya: Did those three members confront you at the same time?
Ikuto: No, I confronted one by one.
Toshinori: I see that in the end, for Garaki you were nothing more than a puppet.
Ikuto: That's right. Regarding training with those members, I was eventually able to reach the Ultimate Four Blades – X state.
Midoriya: That explains how you became so strong.
Ikuto: Another detail I want to tell you is that I also fought against Gigantomachia days before the war between heroes and villains.
Midoriya and Toshinori: What did you say!? "Surprised"
Ikuto: I faced Gigantomachia, but in a moment, I exceeded my limits against that monster, and I fainted.
Toshinori: You are strong! "Congratulating the young man"
Ikuto: Thank you... "Slightly flushed and with his hand on the back of his neck"
Midoriya: By pushing your limits, were you able to defeat Gigantomachia?
Ikuto: I was able to do fatal damage which was powerful enough to faint him.
Midoriya: ¿Utilizaste Ultimate Four Blades – X?
Ikuto: Yes, but before using that state, I fought in my Four Blades – X state only to be easily knocked down, and right at that moment I was filled with an outsized anger and activated an Ultimate Four Blades – X, but at a much higher level.
Midoriya: You are strong!
Ikuto: I certainly am.
Midoriya: I may not be the one to tell you this, but you must manage your emotions well.
Ikuto: Neglect. Also, I remind you that I was being controlled.
Toshinori: Young Midoriya, remember that you must tell him about what the former users told you.
Midoriya: That's right!
Ikuto: What? Is there anything else I need to know?
Midoriya: That's right, Ikuto. It's about your quirk.
Ikuto: ¿My quirk?
Midoriya: I didn't tell you, but the ancient carriers told me that your quirk was born from One For All.
Ikuto: What? "Surprised"
Midoriya: After Toga Himiko took a sample of my blood, she took a second chance to take more blood.
Ikuto: When was that?
Midoriya: That was when I was taking my provisional license exam.
Ikuto: How is it possible that this crazy girl was present there?
Midoriya: She posed as a girl named Camie Utsushimi who was attacked by the League of Villains.
Ikuto: I see.
Midoriya: The second chance Toga had, was when she pretended to be my friend Uraraka, and by an oversight of mine I ended up injured in the cheek. At the time, I thought it was Uraraka wiping my blood, but in reality, it was Toga taking more of my blood.
Ikuto: Did she ever get Uraraka's blood too? "Mentally speaking"
Midoriya: That second chance to take more of my blood was when I was using One For All.
Ikuto: You mean that she got a sample of One For All that way?
Midoriya: Yes, and that's how your quirk was born. That is, it was born from One For All as a powerful variant.
Ikuto: So that gives me more details about the origin of my quirk.
Midoriya: Another thing I should also inform you is that All For One was the one who ordered Garaki to create you.
Ikuto: Was ... All For One!? "Surprised"
Midoriya: Yes, he wanted One For All one way or another, so he decided to take it based on a creation, which would be you, Ikuto.
Ikuto: "Pressing fists"
Midoriya: The first to get your quirk would be Shigaraki and then All For One by controlling Shigaraki's body.
Ikuto: So that was his goal.
Midoriya: However, one of your main goals is still to get the original One For All.
Ikuto: What I can understand is that my quirk would only be an ace up my sleeve for All For One.
Toshinori: I know that guy very well, so I'm sure he's just as you said.
Midoriya: Ikuto, there are more that previous users told me about your quirk.
Ikuto: Is there more information? Tell me.
Midoriya: It's about why your quirk changes color when you and I try to stop Shigaraki's deterioration.
Ikuto: What caused the color change?
Midoriya: That was because you stopped using your quirk with hate or any other negative feelings.
Ikuto: That explains why my quirk became the same color as yours.
Midoriya: Listen, Ikuto, I still have more to inform you.
After talking more about what previous One For All users told Midoriya to tell Ikuto, Midoriya had to report Dabi to Ikuto.
Ikuto: From everything you have told me, both you and I carry a very big responsibility, Midoriya.
Midoriya: I can't deny that it does. In addition to all that, I must also tell you about the villain Dabi.
Ikuto: What does Dabi have to do with One For All?
Midoriya: He doesn't have to see, but I tell you about him because he turned out to be very dangerous.
Midoriya oversaw telling Ikuto about the origin of Dabi, that because of the excessive irresponsibility of Endeavor among other errors caused the beginning of the villainy of Dabi.
Ikuto: So, Endeavor is to blame for the existence of the villain Dabi?
Midoriya: That's right, but you must know something.
Ikuto: What should I know? Endeavor is nothing but a fraud! "Annoying"
Midoriya: Listen, Ikuto, Endeavor has started to improve its way of being. Simply put, he has strived to be a better hero.
Ikuto: Give me another reason why I should trust him.
Midoriya: I was present at his internships, and he saved his son Natsuo from a villain, and Endeavor told him that he seeks redemption.
Ikuto: "Beginning to believe that Endeavor is trustworthy"
Midoriya: I guarantee we can trust him.
Ikuto: Okay. I will trust Endeavor.
Midoriya: Thank you, Ikuto. Now I need you to give me details about your quirk since the former One For All bearers don't know much about your quirk yet.
Ikuto: Don't miss a detail.
All Might: I must be attentive too. "Mentally speaking"
Ikuto spoke in detail about his quirk to Midoriya, All Might and Inko which left them surprised to learn of the enormous potential that his quirk possessed.
All Might: I'm surprised! "Shocked"
Midoriya: I can't deny I am too!
Inko: How powerful is your quirk, son?
Ikuto: I know. "Smiling"
Midoriya: So the more you train, the more powerful you become?
All Might: And not only that, will your abilities evolve too?
Ikuto: That's right. However, I still don't know my true potential.
Midoriya: You will reach your true potential. I guarantee it. What's more, your abilities surprised me a lot, especially the part where you turned your whole body into light.
Ikuto: I already told you that this was my Speed-X ability. "Smiling"
Inko: This guy is full of surprises. "Mentally speaking"
Ikuto: I also told you that my blades of light can not only cut anything, but can also generate powerful explosions no matter the size of the cut.
Midoriya: Yes, that attack is incredible. Well, Ikuto, I think it's time I told you one last thing.
Midoriya would now be in charge of telling Ikuto that he intends to carry out the defeat of All For One by leaving the UA, but Ikuto would not hesitate to accompany him.
Ikuto: I will accompany you, Midoriya.
Midoriya: I knew you would say that.
All Might: These two guys will have a great future. "Talking mentally and smiling"
Inko: Izuku, please... "Crying and hugging Midoriya"
Midoriya: Huh...! Mum!
Inko: Come home soon! Please! "Crying and hugging Midoriya"
Midoriya: I will! I promise!
Seeing Midoriya by his mother's side, Ikuto got a little jealous deep down, but at the same time he was also happy because Midoriya has her mother's love and support.
Ikuto: I wish I had such a mother if only my life hadn't been a lie. "Mentally speaking"
Inko: "Putting his hand on Ikuto's shoulder"
Ikuto: ¿Eh...? Mrs. Midoriya...
Inko: Take good care of yourself too, son. "Smiling"
Ikuto: "Blushing"
Inko: I assure you that good things await your life.
Ikuto: Yes, Mrs. Midoriya. "Smiling"
Inko: And promise me that you will take care of my son in case everything gets complicated.
Ikuto: I will.
"End of flashback"
Ikuto: Friends, please find Midoriya. What I can do for now is rest to get back into battle. "Talking mentally and starting to fall asleep"
