Within One For All
"Okay, how much of that was us and how much was Izuku?" Roku asked his compatriots. He was elated his grandson was doing so well, if a little worried about his lack of confidence. But, if One for All was to truly help the boy, they needed to tie down his limits.
His wife looked at the other men, an eyebrow raised.
"I haven't let him use Float since Ruby's adorable surprise attack, but I DID feel some of our collected energy go out. And well, no offense honey…."
"Nothing to be offended by." Roku said, motioning his wife to continue.
"If Roku and I didn't give Izu the boost, then who did?"
"Well, don't look at me! I didn't do squat!" Kudo and Danjuro said together. Hikage simply shook his head, showing he'd played no role in the boy's showcase.
"I couldn't contribute much even if I wanted to, so…" Youichi smiled, his gaze turning to one of his saviors.
The only former user who had not said a word since roky asked his question and who was now trying to look an inconpicouis as possible.
"BRUCE?!" Kudo snapped in a shocked and scandalized tone.
"What? We all agreed to let him use our quirks and that side-step exercise is practically Fa Jin for beginners!" The bandana user tried to defend himself. "Sides, he needed to make an impression; establish who was the strongest so the others will follow him despite his baby face."
"Hey! That's MY baby face you're mocking!" Nana snapped at the third wielder, making him cower.
"And what's t6his about 'strongest?'" Kudo asked his number two
"So, in summary?" Youihci smiled to his fellows. "That was about….90% Izuku at the tests. And he didn't even break a sweat!"
"And therein lies a problem." Hikage mentioned. "Grand as he is, we don't necessarily need another Toshinori. If that didn't even tire Izuku out?"
"Oh forget about that crud for a sec, sensei!" Danjuro cut him off. "We're about to get some deets on our kid's pals!"
And with that, the vestiages focused their attention on Izuku's eyes.
Real world
Murakami's, located just two minutes away from UA was primarily a sushi place, but the blind chef behind the stand experimented with flavors from all over the world, as shown with the complimentary gyoza he gave the kids.
Said Gyoza was filled with a perfect blend of cheese, tomato sauce, and tiny bits of pepperoni.
"…I'd kill for you." Denji said as he savored another gyoza, tears threatening to burst from his eyes despite his big, toothy grin.
"…We're um…we're just going to ignore that?" Hajime noted, a little worried.
"I'm guessing dear old dad kept grub to a minimum." Carol mused, fighting back her anger. She'd been just as horrified as Ruby when she heard what the blonde's father tried to do, but unlike Ruby, she knew what she'd do if she ever saw something like that again, laws be darned!
Speaking of Ruby!
"Well, now that we have something in our bellies, how about we go around and say a bit about ourselves?" Ruby suggested. "I…I mean, if you're comfy doing that. Yang says that's what normally happens."
April, having introduced the gang to the restaurant, decided to go first.
"Well, I grew up Quirkless...or so I thought," April said, missing Izuku's shocked look. "Turns out I'm a late bloomer psychic powers: Not on par with the Psycho Sisters mind you, but definitely a bit more versatile in how I can use them."
This peeked Izuku's interest even more; yes, his sisters were indeed powerful, but they admittedly stuck to overwhelming might more than they went for a sneakier/smarter route. They COULD do the latter, mind you.
"Honestly, I was just a talentless nobody until my Quirk came in late, too." Hajime said. "And then I had a lot of expectations placed on me that honestly made me want to go back to being an average nobody."
"Kind of hard to do that as a hero, amigo." David noted, getting a nod from Ruby.
"Maybe, yeah." Hajime chuckled. "But at least as a hero, I'll be able to control which expectations I live up too, right?"
That didn't suit incredibly well with everyone, but from what they gathered, Hajime was ultimately still a very good person who wanted to help people, so they let in slide for now.
"I've always wanted to be a rockstar," Chai said. "Then I met some people that inspired me to try and follow my dream...but also be a rocking hero as well! You should all come by and meet up sometime, you'll love em and they're always looking to meet new fellas and lasses."'
Chai then reached into his coat pockets and handed his classmates each a business card
"Like I said, I was in a gang," David explained. "Long and short, a cute girl and a time-stopping mercenary got me to realize I wanted to do more with my life. Gunhead happened to find me and brought my case to Nedzu. Next thing I know? I'm here and loving every minute of it,"
Izumi looked down at her meal, slurping some ramen before she began to speak.
"My family is an old and wealthy one, so I grew up used to getting anything I wished…except friends. Even when I went to an all gilrs school, my parents were very controlling on everything I did: They didn't even give me money for food at school."
Denji growled at that
"They just assumed school food was beneath me and I could eat whatever I wished when I got home." Izumi hurriedly added, but this did little to quell the anger her classmates were feeling, so she continued. "Then one day, my Quirk awoke and I met my first real friends; a small club that fought off phantoms and spirits that haunted our school. Initially, my parents didn't approve and tried to stop me…but, I'm not entirely sure why, they let me go as long as I kept my grades up and didn't go down the same route as my sister."
Izumi smiled at that; a smile that Izuku and Ruby immediately recognized: The smile of adoration towards your cool big sister.
"I don't know where she is right now, but I do know she's in a biker gang and…well, I guess I always admired my sister for doing such, so I decided to help my club. And one time, Ryukyu was passing by and offered to recommend us all to UA. I was the only one who accepted; little Kurumi is just starting junior high this year, Koito is going to Shinketsu, Haruyuki to an art school and Mai is on the martial arts tour."
Bendy let out a hurrah and nuzzled Izumi's cheek, which made her giggle as she pat his head to get him to settle down.
"Well, Bendy here is the son of famous cartoonist Henry." Lapis explained as the dancing devil in question produced several movie posters and DVDs, which he gave for free. "But he wanted to do something more than just showbiz and well… kinda ran away with his dad's blessings, it's complicated."
Bendy then growled, which Lapis picked up on.
"Also, Henry's partners, especially Joey? Were pricks." She playfully messed with his horns. "And we came here together."
"So, he really can't talk?" Chai asked. "I mean, I know he makes those cartoon sound effects and all, but..."
Bendy gave Chai a look, which made him backtrack his words, holding his hands up defensively.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude or anything!"
"It's okay, Bendy, he was just curious," Lapis said.
"Yeah...sorry about that, little dude." Chai apologized.
Bendy stared at Chai before looking down at his feet. As everyone was about to resume talking to each other about themselves, they heard a strange gurgle that sounded like it was coming through an old-fashioned television made in the 1900s.
"What did you say?" Izuku asked in surprise as everyone looked at the little ink demon.
Bendy made another strangled noise, which once more produced buzzing radio feedback. He tried opening his mouth to let words out but more static came out. Taking another deep breath, he tried again, this time louder, only to suddenly lock up and begin choking, coughing into his hands as ink splattered over them.
"W-Whoa! Slow down there!" David cried, the others growing in similar concern. "You don't need to force yourself to talk if you can't do it!"
Faster than anyone could react, everyone began reaching into their bags, looking for tissues or clothes. Izuku grabbed several pens and offered them to Bendy. This got him some confused looks, but Lapis and Izumi shot him grateful looks, the latter moving Bendy in front of Izuku so he could take the pens, his coughs and hacking getting worse by the second.
And that's when Izuku got an idea:
'Gearshift.'
Instantly, the pens zipped into Bendy and erupted, the ink in them pulling the melting back into place and filling the ink demon with more stamina. Soon enough,
Bendy was back to normal and smiled and as he gave Izuku a thumbs up
Even Mikasa and Blanc were smirking; seemingly impressed by Izuku's quick thinking. The former event knelt down and gave Bendy an affectionate pat on the shoulder.
"It's okay, Bendy. Look, just forget what we said earlier, alright? We don't want you getting hurt." Mikasa said in the tenderest tone her classmates had heard her speak so far: A tone filled with kindness and sweetness they had not yet heard from her. Kindness befitting a future Pro…and that they were all happy to see.
Bendy gave an embarrassed bow and let Lazuil pick him up.
"Well, I was born near Beach City, part of the Gem Dynasty," Lapis explained. "Kind of stuck in Pre-Quirk or ancient times; most of the folks there think they came from the earth. I was terraforming and gardening ever since I could walk when one day, the youngest…I guess you could say 'Princess' ran away and wouldn't you know it, I found her."
"I see..." Elise muttered.
"But it turns out, she was pregnant with some guy in Beach City, and her sisters and mom….Well…I helped her and her guards escape into town and was banished, but after Steven, her baby, cutest little fella, was born, Pi-I mean, Rose…Got me in via a recommendation."
The name slip did not go unnoticed, but was soon forgotten when Lapis got a text and smiled; showing the waving image of a small boy with curly black hair in a pink T-shirt with a yellow star on it, with the message:
'Good luck, Lapis!'
Many cooed at this, with Lapis shooting a thumbs up and heart emoji to the little boy before eyeing Elise to go next.
"I guess it's my turn." Elise sighed. "When I was a child, I was destined to inherit the throne to the kingdom of Soleanna in Europe...but I wanted to experience life outside of my kingdom, to learn and become a proper ruler...so I chose to be a student at UA."
Her classmates all applauded this as Elise shyly waved the praise away, motioning for someone else to go next.
"As for me...I was kind of a bully." Sunset sighed. "But then some girls stood up to me, I tried to humiliate them, they didn't let that stop them, and then they kind of beat some sense into me...now I'm trying to change my ways for the better, and all that here at UA."
Suu began to let out several adorable chirps and coos as she moved animatedly, her face telling a story of adventure and danger, but the glow in her eyes promising a happy ending.
"She says she didn't exactly come here legally," Sunset translated, then paused before smirking. "Huh. Well, like Elise, she's princess of a small nation and got invited to UA for ambassador duty, but along the way she got lost and ended up saving some people in a flooding, so Selkie vouched for…And it seems our lovable Ink demon is covering her tuition."
Suu then nuzzled up to Bendy, making him blush as Lapis and Izumi joined in. The universal response to such a sight was a shared:
"Awwwwww!"
Murkami and his waitress, Fuu, smiled at the scene. If only more days were like this….
"I mostly grew up on an island off the coast," Kairi said. "It was just me and my two best friends, but we wanted to explore the world. I figured Japan was a good place to start and somehow, I wound up getting a recommendation from Majestic."
This rose several questions, but no one pressured Kairi for answers.
"My story is kind of a downer, to be honest." Zero Two began. "Like Elise and Suu, I'm technically the princess of a tribe called 'the Lavasaurs…"
Lapis slammed a hand into her other palm.
"Thought you looked familiar; Yellow Diamond was always fuming about never being able to beat your people. Nice work."
Zero-Two smirked at this, her liking of Lapis assured as she continued.
"But I'm not legitimate. Long story short, the APE company got a hold of my mom's DNA and created me to become like that Hawks fellow, along with a few other orphans they swiped up…."
Zero-Two's face then took on a blush and an adoring smile crossed her face.
"…My Darling among them. The strongest, smartest and kindest too."
Many of the girls cooed and or squealed at this, so it took a minute for Zero-Two to continue.
"It took a bit, but he and I got the other kids to stop obeying Papa just in time for Germany's number one hero, Siegfried, to come and save us. He then sent us to Japan and…much as I waned to stay with Darling, Shinketsu was full and…well, when All Might's school offers you a place?"
"…You have a picture of this 'Darling?'" Kairi asked hopefully, smiling with Zero Two produced a picture of herself and several other kids, all in uniforms. And one boy, with blackish/blue hair, was holding the Lavasaur princess in said picture.
]"I mostly started out as a normal girl, didn't even think I had a Quirk..." Carol said. "Then I was kidnapped by these...people. They did...things to me and awakened my Quirk...not that I particularly like using it."
Again, no one pressured Carol for details. When she was ready, she'd let them know. Despite it all, Ruby got off from her seat and patted Carol on the shoulder, offering her a cookie. Carol smiled and graciously accepted.
"I come from a family of higher-ups in Nintendo. I also have friends who are in similar boats but connected to Sony, Sega, and Microsoft." Blanc said. "Growing up with all sorts of Nintendo games, I guess my Quirk chose to use them as its basis."
"Glad most of you got to grow up normally. My birth parents were killed when I was a little girl and I was almost sold into salvery before my adopted brother and father saved me." Mikasa said bluntly, sipping at her tea.
"…Yeesh. And I thought I had it rough." Denji mentioned, awakardly munching on more dumplings.
"I've always done well in sports and fighting, so I originally was going to become a police officer. But then, Eren, my brother…well…"
She struggled to find the right words.
"We lost our mother and he became so vengeful, he….Well, I want to become a hero to make him proud, pay him back for saving me and
"W-Well, I always wanted to be a Hero..." Teru nervously said. "Then I learned about my Quirk and this Pro Hero actually helped train me. She even gave me a recommendation to UA since she's actually friends with All-Might!"
She then downed her tea and looked to the only classmates who hadn't spoken.
"That just leaves you two."
Izuku and Ruby tensed and did a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Izuku lost (he always went with rock) and went first.
"Well…cards on the table." He started. "While All Might did train me, like April and Hajime, I'm a late bloomer. I just got my Quirk a little less than a few months ago. But I've always wanted to be a hero; just to make people smile and take their worries away. And well…I do kind of have some family involved."
"Yeah, your dad is bleeding Omni-Man!" Chai smirked.
"Please don't call him that, he hates that." Izuku said on reflex as he began counting. "But yeah, dad…Mom is Quatro…my sisters Fubuki and Tatsumaki the Blizzard sisters…"
Lapis, Teru and Kairi's eyes widened in adoration, which filled Izuku with pride in his mother.
"And then there's both of my grandma and grandpas;" Izuku smiled. "Garp the Fist and Great Tactian Tsuru on dad's side, Roku of the Smoke and…"
"NIMBUS?!" Elise screamed in joy, cutting the boy off. "You're her grandson?! Oh my goodness, how did I not see it?! Your grandma saved my country once; my mother told me tales of her when I was growing up!"
"Never mind that; Monkey D. Freaking GARP AND TSURU?!" Sunset, her jaw hanging low, managed.
"I know, that's how I felt!" Ruby beamed.
"Amigo, you're practically Realeza héroe!" David gasped, then remembered what had been said before the tests. "Heroic royalty….And people treated you like crap, because…?"
"…Japan is much less tolerant of Quirkless people." Izuku sighed, making Hajime nod sadly and filling April with rage. "That my family is busy enough and…Well, Katsuki…"
"No." April cut off. "He is NOT a friend. A friend would've jumped in and helped you. Stood up for you. And sorry about your folks and sister, but no. You really should've told them: Maybe this is me just being a silly Westerner, but if anyone messes with one the single digit hero's families? They lose ANY sympathy and deserve whatever they get."
Bendy and Suu nodded in agreement.
"I mean, I grew up under pseudo feudal beliefs, but yeah, that tracks with me too." Lapis added, finishing her soda.
Izuku was taken aback by how angered his classmates were by this. So shocked that a tear escaped his eye. He caught it and realized why it had been shed:
He'd needed to hear that. More than anything. To hear that he had the right to be mad., That they were wrong!
"…Thanks." Izuki managed.
All the others did was smile, although a few, like Carol and Ruby, were already planning to make Katsuki pay for what they assumed (rightfully) he'd done.
Speaking of whom, finally, it was Ruby's turn.
"Well, like Izuku, my family has been in the hero business for a few generations: My dad is Ryusei and my mom was White Swan…"
David smirked at that, revealing he had a Ryusei comic book on his person; one with White Swan on it.
"You can have it if ya want." He said. "I got another at home and…I don't want to assume, but…"
Ruby sighed and nodded.
"Gracias, David."
The cyberpunk smiled at that, then looked over to Chai and explained.
"…White Swan vanished in the line of duty ten years ago."
Izuku, Mikasa, Denji and April's hearts broke for Ruby at that, as did Suu, who couldn't imagine life without her mother.
Ruby smiled sadly as she put the comic in her bag then pulled out a photo.
"Whose the hottie?" Chai asked, his eyes (and many other's, including Susnet) focused on the image of Yang.
"…My sister." Ruby grumbled in an annoyed tone. "And don't bother, she's taken. Plus, anyone who even wants to TALK to her has to impress dad."
Upon seeing Taiyang Xialong, most lost the will to even try. Smirking, Ruby then continued:
"And my grandpa was known the Dark King."
…
…
…
"D-D-Dark King? As in partner to Gol D. Roger?" Carol asked, with a giddy smile, which grew as Ruby nodded. "…Okay, you are now my hero, little Rose girl."
CRASH!
Startled, the kids turned to see several punks messing with the young waitress Fu, a knife at her clothes while another punk held her from behind, gagging her with a cloth.
Murakami himself was on the floor, having been pushed down and clearly struggling to get up, which was not helped by one of the punks, who all smelt of booze, kicking him.
Without a word, they leapt into action, Ruby quickly turning into petals to take Fuu away as Izuku unleashed Black whips to grab the offender's arms, as Blanc manifested a sniper rifle to join Ruby in shooting away their knives. Suu and Bendy then used ink and slime to trip the punks up, and April used her telekines to lift them up long enough for Mikasa and Hajime to knock most of them out, save for the lecherous leader.
Kairi and Elise helped Mr. Murakami to his feet as Sunset created a new staff for him. Teru had already placed a notice on the Hero network and assured the chef a Pro was on their way.
But it was Denji, chainsaw arms already activated, and now with another chainsaw blade and a snarling cybernetic skull, that had moved fastest, now glaring at the punks and leveling his blades dangerously close to their noses and or necks.
"Listen here, ya overpriced shits." Denji growled. "Bad enough you were treating a girl like that; you'd want your mom or sister going through that?! But that girl? That one right there? She gave me food and water. I have rarely had that…So if you ever hurt, scare or make her or her boss uncomfortable again? I will kill you. Understood?"
That was not a threat. It was a promise.
The punks managed to nod, but whimpered as Denji slowly backed away, leaving hjis head in chainsaw mode until he saw the shocked looks of some of his classmates.
"Dang, remind me not to mess with you, man!" Chai noted.
"Y-You were kinda scary..." Teru admitted as Denji made his face return to normal.
"Sorry, lot of pent-up anger and all that..." Denji apologized, rubbing the back of his head.
"Denji. Buddy. I AM anger. At least you got mad for the right reasons. I'd say that's an okay." Carol assured him, then looking at Fuu. "You okay?"
The girl smiled, delivering a kick to one of her attackers.
"Thanks for that, by the way. Usually, it's Mugen and Jin helping me out when I get in trouble."
"Who and who?" Denji asked.
"Two regulars." Murakami smiled. "Sword Quirks, but different styles."
Mikasa was interested in these two; perhaps they'd be a challenge..
Just then, Midnight stepped, her crops at the ready…but when she saw the downed punks, she smiled.
"Oh, my, my, my! Such naughty students." She teased, making the kids wince in fear. "Not even a day at UA and already saving small businesses…"
She spied a smiled Murakami already prepping a sushi plate before seeing Fuu hiding behind Denji, which made her smile warmly.
"hello there." Midnight said to the girl after patting Denji's head. "I know this is probably a scary time, but…?"
"No, no, your students all saved me and Mr. Murakami before things got bad." Fuu assured her. "I think one of them even fixed Mr. Murakami's cane….Wait! Please don't hit them for illegal Quirk usage!"
Midnight gently patted Fuu's head and looked over to her students.
"Now. Sweeties? I'll forget it this once…but know that I am proud of you all. And All Might will be too."
She then deposited a wad of cash into denji's open palms.
"Sweetie, be sure to walk her home and get her something nice."
"Sure, mom." Denji assured her, then looking at the money. "But um…why the moolah?"
Midnight smiled in a playfully evilly way
"Well, a gentleman needs to impress a cute girl, doesn't he?"
..
…
…
It took a now blushing Fuu and Denji a second to realize what the 18 only heroine meant.
"MOM?!"
But she was already taking the punks away, laughing the whole time.
'Mental note; plan for when/if mom, dad and nee-sans meet the others.' Izuku mused.

All was peace. All was calm in the Midoriya home. It was just him and his lovely wife. No work. No worries. Just him, a cup of tea, some rice crackers, a volume of 'Kongoh Banchou' and Inko prepping for their cuddle session.
Hisashi Midoriya was truly and peace.
"HISASHI! HEEEEEELP MEEEEE!"
And now it was over.
"…Hello, Toshi." Hisashi said as he sipped tea to wash down the rice cakes his father had left for him. "What do you want?"
"I CAN'T DO THIS! I CAN'T TEACH BY MYSELF!"
The #1 Pro tossed several sheets of paper; he'd been working on exercise plans for his students, on top therapy session for a few…and it was TOO MUCH! Paperwork at the agencies was easier than this!
"Then get an assistant, you dingus." Hisashi stated, not ready to aid his friend this time: His babies were all growing up and he needed cuddle time with his wife, dammit!
"WHO?! Wait…is your…"
"Sorry. Mom and dad are back on active duty." Hisashi sighed, annoyed that his mother had pulled his father away from being held accountable for breaking another building, when an idea came to him. "Hey, how's Gran…"
"YOU WANT ME TO SUBJECT MY STUDENTS TO HIM?!" Toshinori screamed in horror as he recalled the beatings his mentor gave him; in the eyes of some, they'd seem tamer than what Garp had put him and Hisashi through, but they'd be wrong!
Inko smirked and left to make a call. Toshinori noticed this and quickly ran after her as Hisashi laughed, just watching his wife and best friend scramble around each other like a scene from Tom & Jerry.

The Heroic Public Safety Committee were a government-sanctioned group tasked with overseeing Heroes, keeping an eye on them to make sure they did their jobs and did them right. True to their name, they were dedicated to keeping peace in Japan...even if they had to perform less than moral deeds to do so.
While many believed that Sayaka Grant was the President and acting leader of the HPSC, she was just a figurehead. Years ago, she was just a humble secretary before the original president was killed by a Pro Hero under their employment when she was pushed too far from their methods.
No, the true high authority was the Five Elders. Very few knew about them, only the top-ranking and trusted of Heroes were made aware of them and they kept their identities secret from the public.
Jaygarcia Saturn, the head of Science and Defense. He oversaw all development of Support Items as well as regular inventions and Quirk research. He was also provided funding for those in homeland security.
Marcus Mars, the head of Environment. He handed public relations, media control and clean up from battles. He also controlled what kind of sponsorships and endorsements heroes could accept and which they had to decline.
Topman Warcury, the head of Justice. He oversaw the legal system and was always pulling the strings when it came to Heroes and even certain criminals, if only to ensure the hero and villain system kept running smoothly. Thanks to him, he was able to scout out potential criminals and vagrants to reform under their jurisdiction and train to become Heroes themselves. In a way, he had inspired Nedzu to create Class Might.
Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, the head of Finance. It was thanks to him that the income of the HPSC ran as smoothly as it did, paying for all Heroes and other law enforcements and making sure they were compensated for any issues they faced on the job, along with approving or denying coverage for those displaced or injured in hero battles.
Finally, Shepherd Ju Peter, the head of Agriculture and youngest of the five, looking no older than late forties with his blonde hair. His title was a little misleading: Similar to Marcus and Topman, Shephred was controlled and observed what the civilians saw and heard about heroes, looking for potentials to be Recommended as he had done with Hawks when he saw how talented the boy was.
And what was their primary topic of discussion today?
"I shouldn't be surprised Nedzu would do something like this." Saturn sighed as he went over the roster of 'Class Might' a spy in UA had emailed to him while sipping some tea. "Then again, All Might is slowing down, so I can also see the logic."
"And while we'll have to rework the marketing and merchandise, an entire group of symbols would be great for unifying our nation." Ethanbaron noted as he polished his katana.
"That and foreigners being involved will silence the claims of racism." Marcus was happy to add.
"Racism may not be an issue, but there is nepotism to consider." Topman noted. "Some of these students worry me. Omni-Man and Quatro's son, that Cyberpunk who barely escaped Atom Smasher, the Hope's Peak dropout…And of course, that's not even mentioning White Swan and Ryusei's younger daughter….
Ju Peter's face softened for a minute before scowling.
"It was bad enough that Roger took Figarland's Shanks all those years ago, but then Rayleigh took my own Taiyang…"
"No names." Saturn reminded his brother in rank.
"Oh, how like you Saturn. Pointing out our shortcomings and avoiding your own: Not dealing with the Gem and Lavasaur girls or the living cartoon." Ju Peter snapped.
"They're the American HPSC's responsibility." Saturn retorted. "And yes, I have made mistakes. But I do believe that my bringing Hisashi to our side…"
"No, you LOST him to the United Nations." Ethanbaron cut in, angrily sheething his blade. "He may speak with you, but don't forget WHY he gave you that scar."
Saturn grumbled as his memories took him back to a few years ago…
A lab destroyed, a sobbing five year old girl in her pregnant mother's arms while another baby girl cried…and Omni-Man standing over a bloodied Saturn and several other scientists, glaring with hate.
Quickly sipping some tea, Saturn controlled himself, ignoring his scar as it suddenly ached, the memory of how he got it replaying in his mind….
"Jingko was an idiot to target Tatsumaki all those years ago." Topman sighed. "We'll need to tread carefully around Izuku, especially with what Nighteye shared with us concerning his and All Might's future."
"As always, your focus on avoiding mistakes is appreciated, Topman." Marcus smiled. "You should take notes, Saturn. After all, it was thanks to Topman that Garp and Tsuru are still working in their retirement ages, otherwise we'd be relying on the likes of Sakazuki or Lucci."
Suddenly, a powerful presence was felt as the Elders gasped before getting down on one knee and bowing their heads collectively. A tall shadowy figure with glaring red eyes and a tall crown stepped in, his body masked by a large cloak, making it impossible to discern what he looked like.
"Lord Imu..." Saturn said. "What brings you out of your quarters?"
The man simply known as Imu was the true president of the HPSC and the one the Five Elders answered and came to for guidance.
"Izuku Midoriya...the sole son of Omni-Man..." Imu said in a deep whispering voice. "Tell me EVERYTHING about him..."
"Why ask when I can tell you?" Someone else asked as they entered the room, startling the elders but making Imu smile, especially when the newcomer, floating in the air, sat down in the one free chair, annoying Ethanbaron's.
INHERANT
The next day started out brightly; the classmates catching up at Lunch Rush's café for a cup of coffee (or cocoa in Ruby, Bendy and Ellie's cases) before they made their way to their classroom, eager to truly their start on their journey into heroism.
"Good morning, students." A warm, gentle and most notably, female voice said
"Hey Princess Celest-PRINCESS CELESTIA?!" Sunset said warmly before realizing who was in front of the class:
She was a taller woman with dulled yet still bright hair in the colors of the rainbow, which contrasted her ivory skin and tan business sut with blue pants and heels.
"CELESTIA?!" Izuku and surprisingly, Mikasa, gasped. "The sunrise heroine? Bester of Discord, Grogar and Chrsyalis!? Ender of droughts and global warming?!"
The fact that Mikasa or all people, followed and repeated each and every word out of Izuku's mouth made many stare at her as if she'd grown a second head.
"…She's my idol." Mikasa simply said as she went to her desk.
"…And Sensei's ex." David smirked, Chai joining him
"Most instriguing, mate. Most intriguing, indeed."
The woman giggled and made her way to hug Sunset, who remained frozen in place.
"It's been a long time, Sunset. How are you, my old student?"
Said old student smiled before she promptly fainted…as did All Might when he saw Celestial.
"TOSHI?!" Celestial screamed in worry, her new students joining her in fear for their teacher and classmate.
Within One for All
"I ship it!" Nana and Youichi beamed
"You two would." Kudo grumbled.
Knightmare Lord A/N: I hope Mrotrax likes what I wrote. Sorry I couldn't add much but I did my best with what I could.
The Five Elders and Imu are going to be more in the Grey Zone than they are in One Piece canon. Considering the different world and circumstances, I figured it'd work like that. Of course, they're still going to be assholes, just not as much as they were in their home series.
Mrotrax A/N: EXCELLENTE! Sorry for the wait! Knightmare Lord delivered! My fault this took so long!
Loving the Five Elders and Imu in a grey light? Hope so, because we have plans for them; some good for Class Might, some detrimental…but all bound to shake up the MHA story.
Any ideas who this 'tattler' of Izuku is? Would love to hear!
Hope we did the Bendy scene justice; that was an idea of KML's that seemed to good to pass up.
Before anyone asks: NO, Eren did not do any sort of 'Rumbling' and we will learn what happened to him and the other Attack on Titan characters further down the line. For the moment, just know that his life has been ruined to the point becoming a villain may be the only way he'll live a modest life and that Mikasa, kindness aside, is not wholeheartedly into heroism for heroism sake, but for her family.
And Hiro, Squad 13, Squad Alpha and the other 'Darling in the Franxx' characters will show up later on too, with much character growth and unique quirks too!
Finally, hope Fuu's rescue and ship tease with Denji was alrightl tried to give as many Class Might's students as I could a chance to shine, buit admittedly some of their quirks didn't really work in the situation…
Thanks for waiting, hope this was worth it.
