Ladybug couldn't believe what she had just done. One for All was pulsing through her, and it felt so great. It felt like she just ran a marathon just based on how much energy she used from One for All. Something about being more precise felt really satisfying.
She looked at Midoriya and noticed how shocked he looked. But then she noticed that he kept looking at his hands as if he felt something. She started to grow concerned and hoped that she didn't hurt him.
"Are you okay, Izuku?" Ladybug asked him, "Did I accidentally hit you? I know my aim needs to be worked on, but I actually did it."
"N-No! I-I'm okay, Ladybug," Midoriya said back, "Really! I-I'm just impressed that you got that so quickly. This is great!"
Ladybug smiled back at him and felt ready to try it again as Midoriya set up the empty cans again. Once he got out of the way, Ladybug got her stance and concentrated on One for All flowing through to her finger again. Something about it seemed a little easier than the first time. Once she felt that surge of energy around her finger, she opened her eyes and aimed right at one of the cans.
Then she flicked right at it and was able to knock down only a couple of them with a lot of wind behind it. She smiled, noticing that the difference was there even if she knocked down more than she intended.
"Great job, Ladybug!" Midoriya cried out, "Your precision could be better, but for your first try, I'm really impressed."
"Thank you so much for helping me out, Izuku," Ladybug said back, "I really needed some help with One for All. I can really do a lot of damage with a punch, but I can definitely see this as a big help if I ever had my hands full."
"Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking!" Midoriya cried out with sparkling eyes, "Since you're always using your yo-yo, I thought that this would help you when you need to do something at a moments notice."
Ladybug smiled at him, realizing how much this meant to him. Since he didn't have his Miraculous on him at the moment, she could tell that he was really excited to help her out. Before she could say anything to him, she spotted Cat Noir and AllMight hero training together. Cat Noir was successfully using One for All throughout his entire body. Green neon sparks came off of him, but similar to his cataclysm. Even his eyes looked like they were glowing a little. AllMight smiled at him, really pleased and impressed that he got it right away.
"Good. Can you move in that stance?" AllMight asked him, "One for All might be too much for you right now."
Ladybug and Midoriya were watching him hero training, feeling really good about this.
"Yeah. I can move. I don't have as much of One for All like Ladybug does," Cat Noir said to him, "But I should be able to run around with it."
AllMight smiled and noticed Ladybug and Midoriya watching in the distance.
"Okay Cat Noir," AllMight said to him, "Show me what you've got. You see that obstacle course of cement that Cementoss created in the back?"
Cat Noir noticed it was there for a while, and even some of their classmates were training on them.
"Yeah. What, you want me run up them and back here?" Cat Noir asked him as he stretched out his arms, "I can do that!"
AllMight nodded and could tell that he was a little cocky but confident. Cat Noir got down on all fours to get ready to run. He stretched out his legs and launched right at the obstacle course. The wind picked up around AllMight, shocking him to see Cat Noir running a lot faster than he expected. He tried to watch him, but could barely keep up with him. The only thing he could spot was the neon green sparks that trailed behind him as he ran.
Even some of their classmates caught him running past him and back towards AllMight. Ladybug and Midoriya watched him in shock as he ran up to the top of the obstacle course and ran back. Something about it made Midoriya feel something charging or surging through him. He shook his hand, feeling something starting to come back to him.
Cat Noir ended up stopping right in front of AllMight within twenty seconds. AllMight was shocked to see him not even out of breath as he stood up with neon green sparks running around him.
"Wow. I've never seen anything like that before," AllMight said to him, "Even when Young Midoriya had just gotten my quirk, he wasn't nearly as fast as you were just now. One for All must be enhancing your Miraculous quite a bit."
"Yeah. That's exactly what it feels like," Cat Noir said back as he clenched his fists, "It feels like a surge of energy. Something about it feels so natural to be running around like this."
"Well, I definitely think you'll be in competition with Young Iida and Young Midoriya," AllMight said to him.
"Cool," Cat Noir commented as he looked down at his fists.
"Wow, Cat Noir! That was amazing!" Ladybug cried out, "I've never seen you run like that before, not since that fight with Ground Zero back in Paris."
"Yeah well it looks like One for All enhanced my Miraculous quite a bit, even if it was just a little bit of it," Cat Noir said back with a smile as he stretched.
"Isn't this amazing, Izuku?" Ladybug asked him.
They all looked at Midoriya who was looking at his hands rather curiously. Ladybug thought that it might have to do with Bakugo's Miraculous, but she could tell that he was feeling something else. She could tell that he was feeling that same energy flowing through him.
"Izuku, don't tell me that you could feel that too?" Ladybug asked him with wide eyes.
"Y-Yeah... I could..." Midoriya said to her, "One for All... I can feel it."
AllMight's eyes widened in shock as Ladybug and Cat Noir walked up to him to check on Midoriya.
"It feels like a tiny spark, but I definitely felt something when both of you used One for All," Midoriya explained to them, "I felt it when you flicked at the cans, and I felt it when you ran across Gym Gamma."
Ladybug and Cat Noir shared a look and knew that this probably the best thing that could ever happen to Midoriya. Even AllMight looked speechless to find this out.
"Young Midoriya, does mean that you still have One for All?" AllMight asked him.
"Yeah. I think so, I just can't seem to reach it or activate it like I use to," Midoriya tried to explain.
"Well, maybe you should practice with Katsuki's Miraculous for a while," Cat Noir said to him, "He did say that you could use it. You might as well try it out. Who knows, it might help activate One for All."
Midoriya looked down at his hands and wondered how Bakugo's quirk worked. He already felt really hot in his hero costume as sweat dripped down his arms. He noticed that his sweat was being collected into the gauntlets, which kind of grossed him out. He shook his hands a little to get ready. AllMight, Ladybug and Cat Noir stepped back a bit and hoped not to get hit by any blasts.
Midoriya got in a stance that he's seen Bakugo do a bunch of times before and concentrated on this explosive power. He tried to create a spark from the palm of his hands, but didn't know how it worked. He tried to picture it as One for All and got quite a blast that made him stumble a bit. He was able to catch himself before he fell onto the ground.
"Whoa, that wasn't even a full on blast," Midoriya said to himself.
He tried again felt a more powerful blast shoot out of his hands, causing his arm to be push back a bit. He got ready for it, but it still hurt. He felt the heat coming from his hands, and it made him sweat even more.
"Geez, no wonder he never runs out of explosives. These explosions are so hot, it's making me sweat even more," Midoriya said to himself.
Midoriya spotted Bakugo watching him in the back while he was helping hero train Chloe and Kirishima. Midoriya tried not to pay any attention to him since it felt weird to be using his Miraculous. He smiled however, feeling kind of really good about this.
Midoriya then remembered that Bakugo could propel himself into the air and moved his arms behind him. He took a deep breath in and out and ran for it. The moment he jumped in the air, he let off an explosion that made him propel upwards. He felt a little off since it felt nothing like One for All, but he got the gist of it. Once he felt himself falling towards the ground, he quickly moved his arms towards the ground and let off another explosion. He kept himself in the air, and every time he started falling towards the ground, he would just let off another explosion pointed right at it.
Some of his classmates noticed this and stopped to watch him flying around Gym Gamma.
"Wow! Look at Midoriya go!" Ashido cried out.
"Who knew that he could actually pull off something like that with Bakugo's quirk," Kaminari said back.
"Bakugo, look at Midoriya go! It's looks like he's able to use your Miraculous pretty well," Kirishima said to him, "But of course, he's not as good as you, man."
Bakugo watched Midoriya flying around Gym Gamma and noticed that he was able to stay in the air for quite a while. He looked at him and noticed how natural it looked, it didn't even look like he was struggling to keep himself up. For some reason, it kind of bothered him considering it was still his quirk and not just a Miraculous. He looked down at his hand and noticed that he was sweating a little. He shook it off, knowing full well that now was not the time to get riled up and cause a scene. He had to save it for some other time.
When Bakugo looked back at Midoriya, he noticed that Midoriya had run out of ammo. Midoriya started falling towards the ground as his Miraculous beeped. He was quickly caught by Cat Noir, and Bakugo smiled knowing full well that he didn't pay attention to his ammo.
"That's what you get for not paying attention. My Miraculous may be mine, but not's like how my quirk used to be," Bakugo said to himself.
Midoriya got out of Cat Noir's grasp, realizing that he had ran out of ammo. Bakugo's Miraculous beeped and soon detransformed him, revealing his original hero costume. Sparkky flew out of his Miraculous, and Midoriya grabbed a little snack from his belt for the Kwami to have. Luckily, Midoriya had something spicy for him to eat.
"Oh yes! These things are delicious!" Sparkky cried out as the Kwami grabbed a spicy candy, "Katsuki never gives me anything more than a jalapeño. I know he has spicy candy and snacks, but he doesn't give me any of it."
"Yeah," Midoriya said as he rubbed the back of his head, "Kacchan isn't exactly one to share."
"But I'm his Kwami. If he wants his quirk, then he has to feed me spicy food," Sparkky said back as he ate the piece of candy, "You however actually seem to enjoy having us Kwamis around."
Midoriya couldn't help but smile at Sparkky's comment. He looked back at Bakugo and felt really bad for him. He lost his quirk a while ago, so he understood why he needed a break from his Kwami.
"Hey Sparkky. Maybe you should give Kacchan a break," Midoriya said to the Kwami, "He going through a lot right now. Losing his quirk really hurt him, and I think he just needs some support. It would probably help him a lot if you at least understood where he was coming from."
Sparkky ate the rest of his candy and thought about it for a moment. Midoriya twisted the ring around his finger, hoping that the Kwami would at least consider it.
"Fine. I am his quirk after all. I understand that it must feel really weird for him to suddenly have me as a companion," Sparkky said back, "I'm just hoping that he'll at least share his snacks now."
"I can't promise that," Midoriya said back to the Kwami with a laugh, "But I'm hoping that you and Kacchan can get along better."
"Yeah. I'll try," Sparkky said.
Ladybug and Cat Noir noticed that Midoriya didn't transform right away.
"Why aren't you transforming back? You should train while you still can," Ladybug asked him.
"Actually, I think I want to train without it for a while," Midoriya said back to her, "I was wondering if I could try training with you for bit. Maybe see if I can get One for All to activate."
"Yeah, of course! I'd love to help," Ladybug said to him.
"Do you want to get back to training, Cat Noir?" AllMight asked him.
"Yeah! Let's go," Cat Noir said as they both walked away from Ladybug and Midoriya.
"So when you were using One for All, I could feel it," Midoriya said back as he clenched his fist, "It felt like you activated One for All for me. It was like you could reach out to it for me and help me activate it."
Ladybug's eyes widened in shock, realizing that One for All was starting to connect together somehow and going back to Midoriya.
"Whoa, that's kind of crazy," Ladybug said back, "Well, maybe I can activate it for you somehow. I'll try to activate it, and you try to activate for yourself once I power up."
Midoriya's eyes lit up, noticing that this might work somehow. Ladybug closed her eyes and focused on activating One for All. She could feel it growing and spreading through her entire body. Soon enough, the pink glow came back around her black polka dots and pink sparks came off of her. Midoriya could feel something once she had pink sparks all around her.
"Okay. Now you try it," Ladybug said back to him.
Midoriya closed his eyes and focused on One for All. He tried to activate it, but something about it felt easier to activate than the last time. It was a little hard to reach for it, but he was able to focus on it because of Ladybug. He tried so hard to concentrate on it, but it was like he needed something else. Then he looked at Cat Noir who wasn't using One for All at the moment.
"Cat Noir! Can you activate One for All? Please, I wanna try something," Midoriya asked him.
Cat Noir and Ladybug shared a look and understood what was going on. AllMight held his breath for Midoriya, hoping that this would work. Cat Noir focused One for All and easily activated it. Green neon sparks came off of him, and Midoriya suddenly felt that surge of power coming back to him. Suddenly, he felt One for All spreading throughout his entire body, but something looked different about his quirk. The sparks coming off of him were pink and neon green just like Ladybug's and Cat Noir's. Whenever any of the pink and neon green sparks hit against each other, it started to turn white.
AllMight stood there in shock to see his successor finally have his quirk back. Even his classmates and friends were stopping in their tracks to see him using One for All. They all couldn't believe it, and even Bakugo was thrown off to see him using it.
"Whoa... This feels different..." Midoriya mumbled under his breath.
"What feels different about it, Izuku?" Ladybug asked him, a little concerned.
"It's like... I can feel both of your Miraculous powering it up..." Midoriya tried to explain, "Something about it feels really good... but something is telling me that this might be dangerous to use."
Ladybug and Cat Noir shared a look and wondered what he meant might by that. Then it clicked for Ladybug and got worried for Midoriya. She ran over to him just to make sure he doesn't do anything quite yet.
"Izuku, listen to me. Does it feel like you're wearing both the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous?" Ladybug asked him.
"Y-Yeah... It does..." Midoriya said and then realized it as well.
"Don't move Izuku," Ladybug said to him, "Let us help you at least turn off one of them, okay?"
Midoriya nodded, and Cat Noir deactivated One for All. Midoriya's sparks soon just turned into pink sparks, and he felt a little bit better.
"That was close," Ladybug said as she let go of her breath.
"Yeah. I just really want to be able to use my quirk again," Midoriya said back, "It looks like I have to rely on one of you guys to do it for now."
Ladybug looked at him still activating One for All. She wondered if his upgrades would help him at all. Before Ladybug could even think about grabbing them, Mr. Aizawa called out for everyone to wrap things up and head back to their dormitories soon. Midoriya looked disappointed and deactivated his quirk.
"Oh well," Midoriya said to her, "At least I still have my quirk. Kind of."
"We'll work on it later. At least we somewhat understand what's going on with One for All. That's crazy that you can feel it when I activate it," Ladybug said to him, "I wonder if it works the other way around."
"I just hope that we can get my Miraculous back soon," Midoriya said to her, "I think I just want it back from Chrysalis."
"Don't worry Izuku," Ladybug said as she placed her hand on his shoulder, "We'll get it back soon."
Midoriya and Ladybug grabbed their things and she quickly detransformed before leaving Gym Gamma. Midoriya looked over at Bakugo and looked down at his Miraculous. He didn't want to give it to him in front of everyone since he kind of wanted to talk to him. For now, he decided to keep it with him. He'll give it to him after they get back their dormitories.
Sparkky sat on his head which made Midoriya remember how good it felt to have Dekku with him. He couldn't help but smile at how good it felt.
"I hope you're doing okay, Dekku..."
Another amazing chapter!
Writing this chapter was a lot of fun! Having this connection with One for All between Midoriya, Ladybug and Cat Noir is probably one of my favorite things about this sequel! It'll definitely come back, don't worry! Cat Noir seems to be doing pretty well as well with his super speed! Midoriya really got the hang of Bakugo's quirk for a moment there. Even Bakugo seemed to notice!
Midoriya seemed to have possibly activated the Wish mode with the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous!!
What's going to happen next??
More to come soon!
