It's time for Chapter 22 of Electric Heart. This time we get to see more of how Izuku is preparing for the UA Sports Festival and how it gets him into a bit of trouble. But let's not wait any more.

As always I do not own MY HERO ACADEMIA or Marvel or any of their characters

With that, let's begin.

It was two weeks before UA's Sports Festival. And since Izuku was able to sustain flight, he had moved to the next part of his hero suit. While The repulsor and exoskeleton gave him super strength and speed, he was still just a human. Meaning he would need to be able to defend himself, meaning he needed armor.

Video #4 Start.

"Alrighty, after further testing the Repuslor boot, Mark 2, sustained flight is achievable. Meaning it's time to move on to the next stage of Project Hero suit." Izuku walked into the frame carrying a piece of metal that looked like a medieval chest piece, along with a mannequin. He walked further from the camera, where more mannequins had been set up, each with a similar metal chest piece to the one Izuku was carrying. "Because I am still a student of UA and I live in Japan, most forms of Lethal weaponry that do not deal with quirks are not allowed. Luckily I am allowed the repulsors because their main purpose for flight. The concussive force is just a beneficial addition." Izuku set the mannequin on the floor and then slipped the chest piece over it. He then tightened the straps, making the chest piece snuggly hug the mannequin, and then checked the other chest pieces.

"Yeah, beneficiation addition. Didn't you make your gauntlets to destroy the robots for the hero course entrance exam?" Snipe scuffed out of frame. He had been approached by Izuku two days ago. His request was strange, shooting bullets at metal chest pieces, and once Principal Nezu requested the same, Snipe couldn't just say no. One out of fear of Izuku hurting himself, two Snipe's curiosity started to peek. Powerloader gave small updates about Izuku and his project, but the support course teacher kept mostly quiet as if he was afraid that the teacher would warn Class 1-A.

Whether Izuku Midoriya was a threat to class 1-A and 1-A, Snipe didn't fully believe he was. So he had agreed to get a better idea of what Izuku was working on. If Izuku was a threat to the hero course students, would Snipe warn them? No, he would enjoy seeing their looks of surprise.

"True, but they were originally designed for flight. Speaking of allowing lethal weaponry, today we have Pro Hero and UA Teacher Snipe. Today we'll test different materials for the armor for Project Hero suit. A copycat design showed that normal metal such as steel can be effective however it must be thick. Thus resulting in heavier armor and will not allow sustained flight." Izuku said, rechecking the last check piece. Once he retightened one of the straps, he began walking back towards the camera. A big smile was evident on his face and Mei would testify that Izuku had held that smile since figuring out his boots.

"Do you have to spell everything out? Besides, who is even going to watch these." Snipe looked at the camera. He understood why the Media recorded everything, it was literally their job to spread the news. Then again Izuku didn't seem to be doing that, it was as if he was making a digital journal.

"Engineers run the risk of copyright a lot in their career. To help determine who truly invented something first, engineers use dated notebooks and videos. Midoriya here is making these videos to be stored in UA archives, so future support students know the power they hold." Powerloader said, as he helped load the different ammunition Snipe would be firing. They had firearms ranging from the standard 9 millimeters to more heavy-duty ammunition such as Assault rifles and Shotguns. How did Principal Nezu get a hold of these so quickly, especially when most firearms were banned in Japan? The thought the guns were actually Principal Nezu's and he had them on hand and ready to use at any time, crossed Snipe's mind.

"That and I can review them to find issues that I missed on the first go. Kind of like paper versus practice." Izuku said, disappearing from the camera's view. He stepped behind the table with all the different guns, looking them all over as Powerloader finished loading all of them.

"I think that's the first thing I understood coming out of either of yours' months since you first asked me to help you." Snipe said, "So all I need is to fire different ammunition into the metal chest pieces you have. And then we see what kind has better stopping power."

"In layman's terms yes." Powerloader said as he and Izuku stepped behind some bulletproof glass.

"And in japanese." Snipe asked, then immediately regretted it.

"We're testing the impact and tensile strength of each type of metal. We test to see which one can strand the highest ammunition type and which one can handle the most bullets before it bends, snaps or deforms. Then we'll be testing varying thicknesses and comparing weight to see which one is the best option for protection whether still allowing for sustained flight." Izuku said as he grabbed a pair of earmuffs and a pair of goggles. Safety first, as a lesson he was still trying to teach Mei.

"So you aren't min-maxing." That was all Snipe got from the explanation.

"Yes. Along that logic, we are finding the balance between stats." Izuku said, then slipped on the pair of earmuffs and the safety goggles, "Alright, range it hot, fire at will."

"I think you're the first support student that understands safety." Snipe said, loading a magazine into a 9-millimeter pistol trying not to laugh at the knowing nod that Powerloader gave. He chambered a round and aimed at the far right chest piece. He then pointed the trigger and the bullet went flying.

The bullet went flying through the air and went through the carbon fiber chest piece."

"Why did we put that one out there?" Powerloader asked as carbon fiber was practically useless against any bullet that used gunpowder.

Izuku shrugged his shoulders, "Had to have some kind of baseline."

Video #4 End

After much testing with Snipe and several bullets cleaned off the ground, a suitable metal was found. Izuku spent the next day building the files and then sent them to the machines under ClassRoom 6-G. Now he just had to wait to assemble everything.

The assembling went by quickly and Izuku had the suit ready a week before the Sports Festival

Video #5 Start.

"Alright, this will be the last test before the UA's Sports Festival, but I can promise it will be a good one. After many tests with Pro Hero Snipe, we have discovered that using Gold Titanium Alloy will provide the best results for withstanding kinetic force from bullets, while its weight will still allow sustained flight to be achieved. As it only has to be 8 millimeters thick to withstand most firearms. However, for heavier loads than the standard calibres, the thickness has to be increased to 12 millimeters.

"Both options are light enough, however I am a broke high school student and would not be able to afford enough Gold Titanium Alloy to make a suit 12 millimeters thick. However after making many pointless promises to Mr and Mrs Hatsume of Hatsume Industries and to Powerloader and Principal Nezu of UA. I finally have enough to create a suit."

Izuku chuckled a bit as he walked into the frame wearing a full suit of gold armor. The suit covered his entire body, and he held the helmet in his hands, "I know the color is tacky, but it is the same stuff used on Tactical satellites, so should I choose to up into the upper atmosphere, I shouldn't have to worry the cold dead air of space causing ice to form over my suit. But more for myself, than anything else, I can definitely promise a change in color will be done before the Sports Festival. However, despite the horrible color, once the final piece was done, I couldn't wait to try the whole suit out. I spent all night assembling the last few pieces of the suit. And I might have gotten in trouble for not paying attention in class."

Izuku held his arms and hand out as if presenting himself like a trophy, allowing the camera to get a good look at the front suit. He spun around showing off the rest of the suit, but the embarrassed look never disappeared from his face. The suit hugged his figure, only bugling the thigh and lower forearm, as to add space for additional weaponry and in the chest to house and protect the arc reactor. Once he was further in high school, or he might have to wait until he was a pro hero, but eventually he would fill the empty space with the weaponry. Until then he had some idea of what to do that he was allowed to build and use.

"I think it looks good." Mei chuckled and she had been since the first time she saw the full suit. Izuku hadn't allowed her to take any photos yet and she probably won't be able to watch the video, but she had already burned the image into her mind, "You look like a full gold All Might."

"I beg of you for the nth time, please shut up. I'm already embarrassed about the color, I don't need to be hearing it from you." Izuku said, a small blush appearing on his cheeks, and it didn't help that Mei stuck her tongue out at him. He groaned as he fidgeted with his helmet, before resuming with the test, "It's tacky and not very professional. Besides, I look better in green."

"That we agree on," Mei mumbled under her breath, then looked at the camera, becoming worried that its microphone might have caught her words. But again Izuku never really let her watch the videos, so she would probably never find out.

"Let's move onto the actual test. Jabisu, are you connected?" Izuku asked, he raised the helmet up to speak into it.

After a second, the eye turned on a dim blue light filled with the helmet. It blinked in and out for a few moments, before becoming a steady light. The small light illuminates the inside of the helmet, reflecting off the soft form grip that Mrs Hatsume had suggested so the helmet would stay steady on Izuku's head as he moved around. "For you Sir, Always," Jabisu spoke from the speakers within the helmet

"Good." - Izuku slipped the helmet on and a second later a blue light scanned his face and it turned green, signalling the biometric scan was working properly.

"Identification verified, Izuku Sutaku-Midoriya." Jabisu said and Izuku felt the form grip formed to his head, patted down his fluffy hair and formed to his skull.

"Run a full diagnostics check." The internal head's up display filled Izuku's vision. It had a large amount of code, slowly being filtered through as it showed off the different functions of the suit. Wiring pulsing as electricity moved to the different parts of the suit, another showed the exoskeleton with all its joints and hydraulics. Then lastly the outline of the suit finished as the different pieces of armor appeared, the ones meant for defence and ones that had the other purpose of helping to steer while flying.

On the outside the different pieces of armor moved around, testing to make sure everything was put together and nothing was stuck. The forearms opened up to reveal empty slots that would fit small missiles and other weaponry. The calf and thigh flaps opened and closed, while the shoulder flaps moved in and out.

"Everything looks good on the outside," Mei said, giving a thumbs up from behind the camera, having used her quirk: Zoom to watch the intricate hinges and flaps of the suit move in perfect sync. She had spent many nights with Izuku and even saw him working late nights on his own working on his suit. Getting everything perfect, nothing was out of place, the timing of everything down to the last millisecond. Izuku always said the suit was his life goal, and he had just arrived at the starting line. Time to launch the starting pistol.

Izuku nodded to her, then Jabisu spoke up "First sweep of internal coding is clear and suit functionality is at100%. Shutting down to finish fully diagnostics."

"Um, what?" Izuku asked as the lights in his helmet were starting to dim. He wasn't expecting this, nor did he want this. He wanted to fly and nothing was going to stop him. He had waited long enough, safety checks be damned. Izuku could come back to that thought and realized in much dread he was starting to become like Mei.

"Sir there is all terabytes of data to go through before the first test is done. It will be at least two hours before everything is done." Jabisu warned. He had been programmed to keep Izuku safe and allowing Izuku to fly a multi-million dollar suit without it properly being tested first was something he could not allow.

"Yeah no. Master Command: 1A7FB2H0MA." Izuku said and after a second the lights within the helmet brightened again and the HUD reappeared- "We'll start small, not more than a simple aerial maneuver."

"Right away sir." Jabsiu said and returned complete control back to Izuku.

Izuku rolled his finger and said, "We'll start with two per cent." This was more for the camera as Jabisu was about to read Izuku's thoughts through the senses in the helmet. Izuku held his hand up to his side and after a second all four repulsors ignited and Izuku began to slowly lift off the ground. He hovered around the gym, the camera following him around, making Mei have to walk around in a circle to stay out of view. Izuku tried some flips and barrel rolls, nothing too difficult on paper but he quickly found out how hard they were as he nearly ran into the walls a few times.

After ten minutes of flying around, Izuku returned to his initial point and dropped down to the ground. He landed on the ground with a thud echoing through the gym. The face plate flipped up and Izuku was wearing a massive grin.

"Sir shall I commence full diagnostics?" Jasbisu asked and Izuku had to think about it.

Izuku thought flying around the gym would be enough, to see where his skills were. But all that flying just made him want to see the limits of his suit. On paper, they look good, but in life, the limits are never the same. Izuku looked up at the sky, nearly seven months since he began working on his father's design, and nearly two years since he had regained his dream of becoming a hero. Time to see how far he had come, "Nah." Izuku flickered his head down, the face plate responding and closing, "Make sure the air space is clear. Let's go for a ride."

"What are you doing?" Mei asked. She had heard Izuku's side of the conversation but not Jabisu's response, "You aren't seriously thinking about flying around UA. It's restricted air space."

"I got permission from Principal Nezu. I'll be fine. Besides, sometimes you have to run before you can walk." Izuku said, then took off. The force of lift-off knocked the camera and tripod over, along with Mei.

"Izuku I'm going to kill you when you get back," Mei said, through the dust cloud. Other sounds of threats and yells could be made out, but it was mostly static, "Great we're going to need a new microphone." Then a small beep could be heard and the dusty sight of Gym Gamma turned black, signalling the camera had been turned off

Video #5 End

Maybe Izuku could/should admit he was a bit impatient, though he never would. He wasn't going to wait two hours for Jabisu to do full diagnostics, everything looked good on the initial sweep and that was good enough for him. If something was wrong with the suit, Izuku was going to find out now and deal with it later. Though he should have given Mei a warning before taking off. He knew how powerful his repulsors were, and generating enough power to achieve that quick of lift, was more than enough power to knock her to the ground. And maybe he shouldn't have gone flying through the roof of Gym Gamma, leaving a good-sized hole in the progress. He had promised Principal Nezu and Powerloader that he would keep property damage to the minimum, as they already had to deal with that a lot from Class 1-A.

Izuku only looked back momentarily, looking down at the hole he had made, regretting quickly passing as he shot off into the air. He did a few laps around UA's main campus, feeling the speed and power coming from his suit. It was nothing like he expected. Meaning its limits were beyond his initial thoughts, and he was going to find what they were.

As Izuku flew UA's main building, he stopped and looked down at a class of third-years training on one of the outdoor tracks. With the sound of his flying, it didn't take long for the first student to notice him and the plain face student pointed up to Izuku, directing his classmates' attention to Izuku. Feeling the need to give them a show, Izuku waved back and then pointed his head towards the sky. He felt power build up in his repulsor and then with a blast that neared the sound limit, Izuku quickly shot into the late afternoon sky.

As Izuku cleared UA's air space, he asked, "Jabisu, what is the SR-71 record?"

"The altitude record for fixed wing flights is 85,000 feet. While its speed was Mach 3.32." Jabisu said as the information was pulled up on the right side of the heads-up display. Izuku glanced over at it and knew he could easily suppress that record.

"Records were made to be broken, why not see if we can break them today." Izuku said, "Increase to 25% thrust." Izuku felt his arc reactor directing more power to the boot, then he felt his ear pop as his speed increased. The suit began to shake a bit, but then suddenly a sonic boom went off and everything went quiet for a moment, then the sound of rushing air quietly filled the helmet. Izuku was glad he had noise dampeners in the helmet, or he would have gone deaf as the sound alone was a good indicator of how fast he was going

A few seconds later the announcement came from Jabisu, "Congratulations sir, you have broken the attitude record for fixed wing flight. Now might I suggest you return to a level of atmosphere where you can breathe. And a small layer of ice has begun to form on the exterior of your suit."

Izuku took a breath. Alone with his breath being all misty, he could tell the air was starting to get a little thin. That was not a good sign, then Izuku looked over the horizon, he was high above the clouds and could begin to see the curve of the earth, where else was he going to get a perfect sight of the horizon? But a small image of his suit appearing on his HUD drew his attention. The armor over his shoulders and abdomen was turning blue. "The Gold Titanium Alloy was supposed to take care of that."

"Gold Titanium Alloy, is usually coated in a thermal paint to better provide heat transfers." Jabisu said as an image of a satellite appeared then the layers separated showing the different layers between the gold titanium alloy and the thermal paint.

"Crap." Izuku said to himself, he would have to work on that when he got back. So he quickly took one last look around, soaking in the view then he flipped himself down and shot down. Going straight down, he could feel the heat coming from the armor, but it was holding up and keeping the heat away from Izuku. And it helped melt the ice, but that shouldn't be Izuku's go-to solution for ice build-up.

Izuku knew he needed to slow down as a city came into view and then into focus. He forced his arms downwards and increased his gauntlets' power, slowing his descent as flaps over his shoulder popped out to increase drag. Until he stopped a mile above the city, but it wasn't Musutafu. He looked around and recognized it as Fukuoka. He recognized this because this was where his mom's place of business headquarters was. As he overlooked the city, Izuku recalled that Inko had been in the city for the past few weeks, dealing with the issue of her boss missing, something he wasn't supposed to know about. Maybe he could fly over to her work and show off his suit, it might do her some good to know Hisashi's designs weren't for nothing.

"Jabisu locate phone with the number of (84)-555-8638." Izuku requested.

"Locating." Jabisu said, "Warning high velocity objects at 6 o'clock."

"Uh." Izuku said as he turned himself around. In the distance, he saw a red blur coming towards him, and it was coming in hot "What is that?"

And that's Chapter 22 of Electric heart. Izuku has a full Mark 1, while technically Mark 2 from the movies, but I skipped from the cave built one as Izuku hasn't exactly been put in that kind of the situation. And what could possibly be flying towards him, a villain looking to attack him, or a hero that believe him to be a villain. Could Izuku get arrested for illegal quirk usage or maybe for something much worse.

All for next week.

So Next Time: Not the First Meeting.

Review and tell me what you think.
