Here it is, the 152nd full chapter of Miraculous Quirks released on time as always. Thanks to Ochaco's passionate plea, Izuku has been able to return to U.A. where he can rest and recharge for what is to come. It is time for that now as the time of his vigilante days comes to an end and he gets the needed recovery while the class begins to prepare for what is next. That is all the administrative stuff that I have for you, however, and there are no guest reviews to respond to or questions to answer so I will end this note here. Do keep the reviews coming as I enjoy hearing from y'all. That is all I have for this pre chapter note so that means that it is time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the 152nd full chapter of Miraculous Quirks.

Disclaimer: I do not own either of these great works of fiction.

Chapter 152: Recharging at U.A.

"That water had better be boiling!" Kaminari yelled as he and Kirishima ran through the dorm towards the communal boys' bath carrying a slightly shell-shocked Midoriya in their arms. "We need to clean him up real good so it has to be as hot as he can handle!"

It was only a few minutes after Ochaco's speech and the acceptance of Izuku Midoriya back at U.A. after he left on his solo mission to hunt down the League of Villains but already his classmates were moving as fast as possible. In total it had been almost a month of worry as they tried to figure out what was going, where he was, and how to help him with his self-imposed task. Finally they managed that and ended up having to save him and bring him back to U.A. to rest and recharge for the coming battle with Shigaraki rather than aid him as planned though they'd still aid him in that coming battle.

That in and of itself had been an ordeal and a half. First they barely made it to Midoriya in time to save him from Dictator, a Tartarus escapee working for All for One to bring in Midoriya and who had a Quirk that Midoriya in his weakened and exhausted state couldn't counter due to it using civilians as human shields that were also forced to do Dictator's bidding, only for Midoriya to insist he was fine and reject their help. That too had been expected and what ensued was an attempt to capture him while almost all of them told him how much he meant to them.

It was a tough challenge as it was clear that power wise Midoriya had them all beat even in his current state but he was simply trying to flee rather than fight them. In that vein he broke through everything they tried to use to stop him from Ojiro's tail to Momo's restraint device, Shoji, Kaminari and Dark Shadow working together, Todoroki's ice and even Marinette's Lucky Charm item, none of it could hold him.

Finally though they were able to get to him as a class by working together to send Ida to overtake and intercept Midoriya as he made his final attempt to flee the area. That worked in that Ida was able to catch Midoriya and bring him to the ground where Kirishima caught him and that gave Bakugo his chance to say his peace and apologize for how he'd treated Midoriya over the course of their lives. That was what did it in the end and after that they were finally able to bring Midoriya back to U.A.

There was of course still the challenge waiting for them when they reached U.A. and the civilians hadn't wanted him here but after an impassioned plea from Ochaco and the aid of a few civilians present who Midoriya had saved either before all this in Kota's case or during his time away from U.A. in the case of an ordinary woman with some kind of fox heteromorph Quirk, the crowd was turned in his favor. They finally saw reason and allowed him to stay and recovering, helping him in the end and Class 1-A got to it as well making sure all was good as the rain finally cleared up.

Now that that was sorted, however, it was time for what Midoriya personally needed and what he personally needed the most right now was the hottest bath in the world. Seriously, the dude hadn't bathed for weeks and it was clear he was in desperate need of a hot bath, hot food, and a hell of a lot of sleep. That was why he was back at U.A., to recharge his mind and body as he got back to his peak form because very soon, sooner than anyone realized, the final battle with All for One and Shigaraki would commence.

"Strip him down!" Sero yelled as they got to the washroom and pulled the ragged excuse for clothes and gear off Midoriya. "We need to get every inch of him!"

"I would destroy these but the gear at least can be saved." Adrien said as they all piled into the steamy bathroom as several of them, Adrien included, had gone on ahead to prepare it though Adrien had yet to wash before the bath himself. "The costume though, no I'll have to make a call to get this replaced."

"Hose him off!" Kaminari yelled as Adrien left the clothes in the changing area and walked into the washing area naked like the others to see Ojiro, Kirishima, Mineta, and Kaminari all naked as they blasted a stunned Izuku with hoses in an effort to power was him before the bath. "And now…"

"Dunking time!" All for said at once as they tossed Midoriya into the water.

"Well that was needed." Adrien noted as he quickly scrubbed himself off to join them. "Feels good right? A bath after so long can be just the thing."

"Yeah most things in life can be fixed with a nice, long, relaxing, soak." Kaminari said smiling in the communal tub. "It's just what we all needed."

"Are you lot even dumber than unusual? Morons!" Bakugo yelled from the washing stations a few down from Adrien as he scrubbed off before he rose and turned to those in the bath. "A hosing isn't enough to clean that mess, now he's dirtying up the bathwater. You've got to scrape his skin with steel wool and whole bucket of bleach before he can be in there. At least Agreste and I have the sense to clean up first."

"That sounds like torture, not cleaning." Kirishima said looking over at his buddy. "This is good enough for now. Midoriya needs the hot water most of all and we don't have time. We can handle it once."

"Despite the sincere apology earlier, he's still got that angry attitude." Tokoyami said from the bath, he was one of the ones who'd prepared it so he was already washed and in it when Midoriya arrived. "Not much has changed on that front."

"Bakugo, hold on." Sato said as an angry Bakugo ran at the bath but before he could say anymore Bakugo leapt into the bath right in front of Tokoyami and splashing those in it in the process. "Never mind I was going to say no jumping but it's too late for that now."

"Probably best to just let it be." Adrien said as he finished washing up and walked to the bath to step in and join the others as Bakugo bowed his head in the bath suddenly deep in thought. "That's the drive that got Bakugo this far, his apology was what he needed to break past that barrier and reach the next level he needed to reach as a hero."

"Agreste is right, I was held back by my issues and coming to terms with them and saying what I said has helped a lot in overcoming what was holding me back." Bakugo said his voice low as he looked at the water. "But make no mistake, I'm still going to be the number one hero once all this has been sorted out. That means that all you extras are my rivals though it's mostly Dupain-Cheng and De…er, Izuku, you know that right?"

"Don't force yourself to say my real name if it's hard for you Kacchan." Izuku said as Bakugo splashed him in the face. "It's been a long time and anyway, I've since embraced Deku thanks to Uraraka so I don't mind it like I used to."

"That's the spirit." Adrien said as he moved over to lounge against the wall and watch things. "She really has helped you more than anyone, hasn't she Izuku."

"Yeah she really has." Izuku said with a smile that a few of the boys realized wasn't just for someone who was a close friend. "All of you have in your own ways but I owe her more than anyone since coming to U.A."

"Don't look like that, moron." Bakugo said seeing the look in Deku's eyes and knowing it even if Deku himself didn't, the guy was as dense as always but Bakugo wasn't going to do anything about that as that was Uraraka's secret to share and Deku's realization to come to even if it was painfully obvious. "And nothing's hard for me. I can switch back to Izuku you'll see."

"Well ambition is a good thing for the most part, isn't it?" Sero asked. "We're all aiming for the top after all."

"Hey this is our chance, let's dunk Bakugo as one." Mineta said in a stage whisper. "If we work together we can manage it."

"No way pervert that ain't happening." Bakugo shouted. "You can all try to beat me but only a few of you are actual threats."

"Yeah Marinette won't go down without a fight." Adrien said. "She was number 1 in Paris back in the day, a true symbol in her own right, so she knows what it's like to be at the top. The great Ladybug, the hero beloved by Paris before the Age of Quirks, well Ladybug and Cat Noir but she was the one who was beloved and for good reason."

"You two may have all that going for her and sure Dupain-Cheng is skilled but you never faced competition from what you said so I won't let that upstage me." Bakugo said. "Now that I know the truth I can see how she got her place and it's only driving me to be more than that and unlike you I know how this age works."

"Um, about that." Izuku asked as he turned to look at Adrien. "I know I wasn't really listening earlier but I did hear some stuff and it's hard to forget what Dupain-Cheng said to me or the look she had, it was just like when you got stabbed for me in Jaku so I knew it was serious. Are, are you and her really not from this time period?"

"Yes, we're not of this era." Adrien confirmed with a nod. "We were born in the early 2000s so about 30 or so years before the Advent of Quirks. Thankfully you already know the truth of who exactly Mage is and have met Plagg already so that saves a whole of a lot of time but you left before we could tell you about our own past. We were going to, after what I did in Jaku and what you saw when Marinette's Quirk awakened you deserved to know, but you kinda ran off. Forced our hand a bit actually and we told the whole class right after you told them of One for All."

"Oh, er, sorry." Izuku said unsure what to say to that before part of what Adrien was saying hit him. "Wait, the Mage stuff I get, he said you two knew the truth and this actually makes a lot of sense if you two aren't from this era, but that little creature we saw with Odd-Eye, you know it?"

"Trust me I was as surprised as you when I learned that that wasn't just part of Odd-Eye's eccentric nature." Tokoyami said. "But he was right, Plagg is what he says he is and that is the truest epitome of the abyss for he is it incarnate."

"I'd say that his stomach is the abyss but yeah Plagg was what he said he was, he's the Kwami of Destruction and where my powers first came from." Adrien said as he looked at Midoriya. "Brace yourself Izuku, it's time I told you how Marinette and I got here because you aren't the only one with a big secret. We're united now and you need to know so here is the true tale of Ladybug and Cat Noir."

At that Adrien launched into his true history and that of Marinette right there in the bath as Izuku soaked and listened enjoying the much needed hot water. To say that it was an unbelievable tale would be an understatement and a half but he listened and believed it as the class backed him up, as did Plagg, who decided to join them for some reason. They were all in this together that was true and together they'd win in the end, Izuku knew it and hearing Adrien's story only solidified the bond the class had together knowing that they'd all stand strong as they faced what was about to come.


In the end Izuku was in the bathroom of about an hour as he soaked and cleaned off almost a month's worth of filth and grime before finally getting out, drying off, and changing into clean clothes that someone had gotten for him from his room. They were all clean and refreshed from it so now that they had a brief moment several of them gathered in the common room. However, as they did Izuku noticed that one person, the one he really wanted to see, wasn't there.

"Where's Uraraka?" Izuku asked. "I was hoping to thank her for earlier."

"She's sleeping." Jiro said. "Once she knew that you were safe and she didn't have to worry the adrenaline faded and she crashed, hard. Marinette actually had to carry her to bed and she's not the only one who's gone to bed early after all that's happened."

"Ochaco did her part and went beyond to ensure that you could return." Marinette said with a smile. "Let her rest for now, but you two should talk Midoriya, I know that she'd like it."

"Me too, I do owe her a thanks but you're right it's good that she's asleep now after all that." Izuku said as he looked around those who had gathered in the common room as dusk fell outside visible now that the rain had cleared though those who knew the forecast knew that it was just a lull before a full on storm hit them during the night. "I owe all of you a thanks so thank you for coming to get me and talking sense into me when I was too stubborn to listen to any. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused. I even caused another secret to come out before it should, Agreste just told me."

"Yeah we'd actually decided to tell the class it before you pulled your little stunt." Marinette said. "After Jaku and what happened there it was time to reveal it, especially with the cure back, you just forced our hands a little earlier than planned."

"Yeah keeping One for All from us the whole time was super lame." Mina said from the tables as she grabbed a strawberry from a fruit salad that Momo was preparing. "So was the whole being from another time and magic and what not Marinette, Agreste, that wasn't cool of you."

"Kinda hard to bring something like that up in casual conversation." Adrien pointed out. "And we had no idea how you'd react to suddenly being told that we're actually from the era before Quirks and that our Quirks, while encoded into our DNA like a normal Quirk, aren't something we were born with."

"We'd just sound crazy." Marinette added. "Especially if we dropped the news without proof."

"There was proof though." Momo reminded her.

"Proof that someone other than you could find out." Marinette corrected. "Well we had it but we weren't going to share it until we were ready."

"Fair." Momo said. "The thread I pulled to unravel it all was something few would be able to pull or even notice."

"Yeah that was annoying that you and Hagakure knew and didn't say anything either but whatever." Mina said as she ate the strawberry. "On the bright side, after reading that bonkers confession of yours and then hearing the even more insane truth of how Marinette and Agreste got here, along with the whole magic being real and that Guardian dude being an actual immortal being, nothing will surprise me from now on."

"Yes surprises are no longer going to happen." Tokoyami said from the couch. "I do wish you would have at least told Hawks to return my calls, Midoriya, that was annoying to deal with."

"Sorry about that." Izuku said. "You know why and in hindsight it was a bad idea."

"I know but it's over now." Tokoyami said. "And you're back so that's good."

"Still, I can't imagine how difficult it mush have been to go from Quirkless to wielding a power like One for All." Ojiro said. "At least Dupain-Cheng and Agreste had experience through those Miraculous things so they understood their power before the change, you didn't but you still managed it."

"Yeah even when you kept breaking your bones at the start of it all which would have been a problem for anyone." Sero said. "And still, you pushed through them until you got control, it was painful to watch but impressive."

"What does it feel like?" Ojiro asked. "One for All that is. Can you describe it. Yaoyorozu and Hagakure have kinda described what it's like to use a Miraculous but this has to be different."

"I can't speak to the Miraculouses but I've seen the kinda strength that Agreste and Dupain-Cheng have and with One for All I have a baseline of understanding raw strength." Izuku said as he thought on it. "And I guess that it's kinda like, well, how do I..."

"We all have questions for him but Midoriya's tired." Todoroki said drying his hair from the bath earlier as he joined the group. "We brought him back so that he could get some rest so we should do just that."

"Is that how it is, you walk into rooms already posing for pictures." Mineta complained before he imitated Todoroki. "Yo, do I look cool?"

"Hard no." Sero said crossing his arms as Todoroki sat next to Midoriya. "You can't pull it off at all."

"You lack the natural appeal, Mineta, your nature seeps through so aloof doesn't work for you." Adrien said. "Stick to what you do best and eventually it will work out."

"Says the literal fashion model with a hot girlfriend." Mineta said. "God I'm so jealous of you."

"Yeah one of the best things to come from out unfortunate situation is that we learned who we were under our masks and that we loved each other so we can finally be together." Marinette said as she snuggled up to Adrien maybe rubbing it in a little as Adrien put his arm around her and held her close. "I'm sure there's some perverted dominatrix out there for you Mineta."

"A guy can dream." Mineta said a disturbing look on his face as Todoroki asked Midoriya if he was ok to move it along from whatever Mineta was doing. "Oh to find a woman who can match me, one day when I'm a hero I know I will."

"Thanks for the concern Todoroki but right now I can't sleep." Izuku said which got everyone's attention and a few questions. "At the end of what happened while I was away I acted terribly towards All Might and I haven't apologized to him yet. That's something that I should do in person but he's not picking up his phone so I don't…"

"Er…" Todoroki said as he pointed to the window revealing that All Might was there.

"What's he doing outside!" Izuku yelped.

"Well that's creepy." Adrien said as Marinette jumped a little and separated from her boyfriend just in case. "Kinda thing I'd expect from Mineta not All Might."

"Only for a girl's bedroom, their bathroom, or their changing room." Mineta said with clear pride in his voice as All Might realized he could come in and started to do so. "My balls are perfect for…"

"Nope, enough out of you." Marinette said as a high voltage taser with a print matching her clothes appeared have her hand in a flash of pink sparkles before it fell into her palm and she quickly tased Mineta who convulsed and complained before falling back off the stool to twitch in a drooling heap as Marinette kept the taser in her lap and connected to the pervert just in case he needed another jolt from it. "There we go, let's hear All Might out now."

"Yes, I am here to apologize to young Midoriya for not being of any use to him when he was on his mission to draw out and find All for One." All Might said as he entered and came to a stop in the entrance way and bowed deeply to his pupil hands on his knees. "Please forgive me."

"What, no way, what are you talking about?" Izuku asked nervously as he and several others stood up and greeted All Might. "You helped me a ton out there All Might. I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did without you and I was almost immediately in danger after I left you. If anyone should be apologizing it's me."

"Yeah and if you're going to apologize for your shady behavior then you should ask us for forgiveness as well." Mina complained getting working up. "You can't just take our friend from us, leave some crazy notes, and then ghost us!"

"I know and I am sorry for all that." All Might said as he rose and got serious, he'd just had a run in with, of all people, the Hero Killer: Stain and that had been an eye opening and scary chat that provided some very critical intel for the heroes so he needed to relay it to them. "The day of the final battle is fast approaching. I'm sorry for my actions though, while we thought that it was the best course of action at the time, it wasn't the right one."

All Might paused there as the class gasped at what he'd said and as he did he thought back to his recent chat with Stain. When he'd finally met the Hero Killer he'd given up on being a hero but Stain surprisingly showed him some needed truths, as well as showing him the actions of the last person who he'd saved before retiring as a hero, and now All Might was going to fight no matter what. That and with these kids rising up he was inspired. He wanted to witness the fire in their eyes and the passion in their hearts first hand.

"The details of the battle aren't important at the moment, but there is new intel that will help us formulate a plan of action for it." All Might said. "We expect to have more information in the coming days and when we do we'll need everyone's help to face what is to come. Even I will help despite the limits my weakened body has, I'll still do my best to help out."

"All Might." Izuku said clenching his fist a moment after All Might did as he finished his own statement. "I just want to say that the food you brought me while I was out there gave me the strength to keep going before I lost my way and I am sure that it was because I distanced myself from you and your help. So, from now on, we fight side by side as we face All for One and his forces."

"This is our nation but it's also a symbol of how a nation can prosper in this age so protecting it protects the world." Ida said just as serious. "We will not fail in restoring it to what it once was and remind the world that good triumphs over evil."

"It will be hard but if we can persuade them the kwamis can hopefully aid us as well." Marinette said. "This may not be the era Adrien and I were born into but it's the one we are in now and we've been accepted by it with open arms now that the class knows our truth. It's our era just as much as anyone else and we'll use our Quirks as intended, to defend our new home and life from the chaos coming."

"Thank you all, I know you will all rise to this challenge." All Might said smiling at them and promising himself that he'd show them all that he could stand by their side before he got serious once again. "Anyway, I need to go, I just came to apologize to young Midoriya and let you know to be ready because we expect the conflict to resume soon."

"You're bouncing already?" Mina asked as All Might headed to the door. "You can't stay for a little bit?"

"Yes, time is of the essence and I need to speak with Endeavor and the others who are needed right now." All Might said. "There's still so much that we have to do to get ready for the coming battle so I have to be on hand to lend whatever aid I can."

"Please tell Hawks to at least text me." Tokoyami said. "He is my mentor; I'd like to hear from him and know he's doing ok."

"I'll pass that on." All Might said as he left and the kids went back to the common area.

"Someone's an Angriyami." Mina said as they walked. "You're really annoyed that he's ignoring you, aren't you?"

"I'm just concerned for my mentor that's all." Tokoyami said as they walked. "He faced his greatest weakness in that villa and not just that it was the strongest fire Quirk out there as well. Then that same villain revealed Hawks's past that he'd moved on from as well as the actions that he had to take to save countless lives in an effort to discredit and destroy the number 2 hero. I want to make sure he's doing alright after all that."

"I'm just confused as to why Endeavor and the others won't set up shop here." Sato said. "It would make more sense for them to do so given how well protected U.A. is."

"With how he's seen right now he'd need a really good reason to show his face here." Todoroki said as he approached holding a blanket for some reason. "If they see him they'll think of Dabi and the truths my brother put out there regarding our family, that could be an issue for people given what was revealed. We sold the evacuees on Midoriya, sure, but they're not happy about it. Many of them have no trust in heroes and my father is the one they don't trust the most so it is for the best that the command center not be here but somewhere where he won't be a distraction."

That got to everyone and one of them in particular had an idea from what Todoroki said about the evacuees. It was a little crazy but it could work to at least show the evacuees their appreciation for allowing Midoriya to stay. However, before that could happen Momo noticed something and realized why Todoroki had the blanket.

"Well seeing All Might was just what he needed to calm down and finally fall asleep." Momo said softly and they all followed her gaze to see that Midoriya was sitting on one of the sofas having gone there while All Might left without anyone realizing and passed out. "Finally, Midoriya needs this."

"He does." Todoroki said as he put the blanket on Midoriya to keep him warm, he'd ask Adrien to carry their friend to his bed in time but for now they could just let him sleep. "As Dabi's brother and Endeavor's son I know that there is suspicion and skepticism about my presence here as well. After everything I can't really blame them for feeling like that."

"It's not your fault that your family caused this, you didn't do anything." Kirishima said from one of the other sofas. "You aren't responsible for the sins of your family past or present, no one is."

"I did though." Todoroki said seriously. "I got so obsessed with my bloodline and being better than my father, in rejecting his power and reclaiming my family's name, before coming here that I forgot who I was. Midoriya and Agreste have helped me see that this year and after everything that's happened my head is clearer now so I'll destroy any doubts people have about me and my commitment as a hero. I'll regain everyone's trust and show that I'm not my father or brother."

"Damn now that's some grade A chivalry!" Kirishima said standing and slamming his palms on the table. "You're making me cry manly tears."

"Er that's not really chivalry, at least not in the European concept." Adrien pointed out. "But still, it's the right thing to do even if you aren't to blame for the actions of your family. You've come far Shoto, this will drive it home."

"You know." Jiro said fiddling with one of her jacks as Todoroki nodded at Agreste's words. "Seeing as we've got a bunch of evacuees who aren't fans of ours, we should fix that. It's not a problem at all when you think about it."

At that Jiro used her jacks to grab Kaminari, Momo, and Tokoyami as they were all near her. The others she needed weren't by here at the moment but she'd grab them if need be though she had a feeling that at least one of them would realize what was going on.

"Jiro?" Todoroki asked. "What are you talking about?"

"This is going to be a weird comparison but hear me out." Jiro said. "Back during the School Festival there were a lot of people in the other courses who were on the fence about use because of what we caused U.A. to do with the whole dorm system even though it wasn't our fault that villains kept attacking us. So we did our best to find a way to reassure them and make them feel good. We made that plan to win their hearths through music."

At that Jiro let go of the others and Adrien, who already picked up on it, walked forward to grab Bakugo and drag him over as he grunted and protested at the sudden action. Adrien then passed the explosive boy off to Jiro and moved to stand by Kaminari to complete the set as Jiro held onto Bakugo's shirt as she said her plan.

"Well, I was thinking that if we could do it back then, then I know that we can do it again with the evacuees." Jiro said with a smile. "We just have to give it our all like we always do. Let's show them who we are and that we appreciate them for all that they've done for us in letting Midoriya return. We won't just go back to normal, we can't do that now, so we'll make it better than it was before. If we can do this together then we'll go beyond just like U.A. students should. Who's with me!"

At that there was a slight but muted cheer due to Midoriya still being asleep though he was clearly dead to the world and they all got behind Jiro's idea. It was time for an impromptu concert to lift the evacuee's spirits and begin the preparations for the final battle to come.


"Well that went well." Fei said as she stood atop the roof of U.A. though the other building that faced the main gate and not the one that Ochaco had stood on her cloak on with the hood up as the wind blew and rain fell, the calmness after Midoriya's acceptance broken and a storm now raging through the dark of the night. "I thought there'd be a riot for sure. That is why you told me to come back, right? You were worried that something might go down when his class brought him back."

Fei glanced to the side to where Mage was standing next to her, his cloak wet and billowing in the howling wind though he was doing nothing to keep it off him. They weren't visible to anyone but another Guardian or Sub-Guardian but he'd still not bothered to deal with the weather that was affecting them beyond making sure that they could be heard as they both looked down on where only hours before Izuku Midoriya had been accepted and next to where Ochaco's plea had moved the hearts of the civilians there.

"I wanted you here just in case the worst happened, that is true, but it was also to have eyes on this place." Mage said. "Bringing Midoriya back was the right call, as was Adrien and Marinette telling their secret to their class, this is needed not just for what is to come but for them to move on as a class and be truly united."

"It's almost here, isn't it?" Fei asked. "Sooner than expected as well as it's only been about a month since Jaku."

"I do not know, not even Demos can see what is coming and that means that this will be big but it is clear that this is the calm before the storm." Mage said. "The final battle is coming and the balance between order and chaos will be at stake."

"And there's nothing you can do." Fei said. "I can assist sure, I've already been contacted for the upcoming planning meetings given my special status, but you can't."

"No for I walk that line between order and chaos and this is still a human affair." Mage said. "Unless divine beings intervein on the side of All for One I must remain on the sidelines and watch as I have all year. My oaths have been stretched and I've been able to exact some justice but for now I am simply a bystander to what will happen, the extent of my intervention has come to an end. The rest is in the hands of the heroes, in those of Class 1-A for they are who hold the keys to the future."

"They are an impressive lot." Fei said. "I have seen a little of what you have from teaching them and working with a few so I know that they have the potential but do they have the time? That is the question. This is a needed recharge but will it be enough for the coming war?"

"Perhaps." Mage said. "I just got word from Dominus who is currently dealing with the UN and trust me he's not in a good mood which means that they're not doing anything like always but he was able to give me some intel that is useful. While I doubt this will succeed it has the potential to at least buy the other heroes a few days and in a war like this that could mean the difference between victory and defeat. I've seen it too many times before to know that just a little more time could be the deciding factor."

"What do you mean?" Fei asked. "Is someone coming or something?"

"Indeed and while some heroes want to come but haven't due to the nature of international hero law, one has defied it and we should have realized it would happen the moment Japan fell." Mage said. "She looks up to All Might more than anyone but Midoriya I feel. He saved her life when she was a kid and he was in California a few decades agon and since then she's dedicated her hero career to him down to her appearance and style. To top it off she has a Quirk that can rival Lucky Charm for its esoteric and surprisingly powerful nature."

"Oh so she is coming, I was wondering if she would or not." Fei said. "Doesn't she need permission for this? We're the international agency and even we can't act while this is contained to Japan, with the exception of those of us already stationed here when this went down and who don't hold the rank of Guardian."

"This is a direct violation; she'll lose her hero license at the very least and if she survives she's likely looking at some prison time even with her reputation." Mage confirmed. "But she doesn't care about that right now and really that's for the best. Say what you will about the Americans but that Yankee mentality can be of use at times and right now we need it, cowgirl and all. Beth will be happy, she admires her, but I doubt she'll get to meet her idol."

"America's number 1 hero." Fei said. "Star and Stripe, Quirk: New Order. Many see her as the second strongest hero in the world behind All Might, well unless they are aware of the Guardians' true power, and she's on her way to help the nation of her own idol. That's a boost. If anyone has the potential to at least challenge Shigaraki other than Izuku Midoriya it's probably her."

"It should be but how much of a challenge she will be we don't yet know." Mage said as he looked out. "But one thing is for sure about this, the kids need to use this time to ensure they are ready because if Star fails, and there's a good chance she will, then the war is on and what could the battle for the world in the Age of Quirks will be upon them."

Fei didn't say anything to that, she couldn't. All she could do was stand there with Mage in silence as they looked out over U.A. and the rain fell down on them. The Guardian of Magic was right, the war was almost upon them and Class 1-A had to be ready for that and that readiness started in the morning when they began their last push for it. It was time for their final, greatest, challenge to begin.


Izuku didn't know how long he was out for, or that he was asleep at all for that matter. All he knew was that one moment he was seeing All for One and Shigaraki in his head and the next he was up sitting on a couch in the dorm common room as light filled it from outside, a blanked falling off him and tendrils of Blackwhip coming from the palm of his outstretched hand as Uraraka stood before him a look of surprise and worry on her face.

"Good morning Deku." Ochaco said recovering, she'd woken up and come down to make sure that Deku was ok but he'd suddenly woken up startling her. "You ok?"

"Uraraka, am I, huh, what's going on?" Izuku asked confused as he kept his hand up and Blackwhip out. "I, er…"

"You're awake Midoriya, we were going to put you to bed but Agreste got busy and you were peacefully sleeping at last so we didn't want to disturb you." Kaminari said as he and Mineta approached. "Did you know that you talk in your sleep by the way. It was a little creepy."

"You're safe and sound at U.A. so put those things away they look gross." Mineta said. "That's some hentai crap and it should stick there in that fine art form. I even have some material that I can lend you if you're interested in, er, never mind."

"Oh right sorry." Izuku said as he ended Blackwhip while Ida and Momo walked over and Marinette made another taser just in case Mineta needed some corrective behavioral treatment again, not that that every worked on him but it was still worth a shot and at least he did shut up before he got too graphic. "Forgot where I was for a moment."

"Don't worry, you're safely in the dorm." Ida said. "We're all here for you."

"Yes, we're going to be standing by your side from now on." Momo said as Izuku looked at them and for the first time noticed that not only was she wearing a pair of half rim glasses for some reason but a kwami that looked like a small brown and white horse floated over Yaoyorozu's shoulder, at least he thought it was a kwami as the only other thing like it that Izuku had ever seen was Plagg. "So you don't have to go at this alone anymore."

"Er is that…" Izuku began.

"I'm called Kaalki, Momo's my human at the moment." Kaalki said in a rather upper class Japanese accent. "Long story, not relevant right now though I'm sure Adrien told you the basics of it."

"We've gotten used to the sassy horse that is occasionally with Yaoyorozu, ignore her for now." Kirishima said as Kaalki huffed. "We're all here for you and fighting together as a class."

"Yes so let's get to work." Marinette said as Izuku smiled and rose to his feet. "We all have training to get back to so prepare everyone. Class 1-A stands together to face what is coming."

Izuku nodded at that and for the first time he wasn't afraid because he had his friends with him fighting and standing alongside him in this battle. He wasn't alone because he had them and together they'd all set things right. They'd make people happy and smile again as they world got better and All for One and Shigaraki were finally defeated once and for all.

It was time to end the despair and go beyond as the final war not just for Japan but the world loomed large on the horizon, a war that Class 1-A would face together. Little did they know what was about to come on the eve of war as the final revelation in their class was about to come to light and shake them to their core for one of their number was a traitor.

A little abrupt and a cliffhanger with a known answer but I feel like that is the best place to leave this chapter off. Alas and against all odds I had for myself, I have reached the end of the current anime with this story. I started all this 25 months ago and never once missed a week but now that I am out of the anime material it is time for a forced hiatus due to that. I know I could use the manga; I do read it as soon as it comes out and is translated, but for ease of adaption and smoothness/speed of writing the anime is just better and so I will take a break and await the much anticipated 7th and likely final season of My Hero Academia. Once it is out and the dub is rolling I'll get right back to this. In the meantime though I hope to not be idle as there are still the 3 (and soon to be 4) films to adapt into the Miraculous Quirks universe. I have already gotten the initial and very rough outline for the first film and will begin working on it soon. Rather than weekly, I'm going to draft it all and then edit and upload it and I'm targeting sometime between thanksgiving and Christmas as the start of the upload depending on my IRL life and my other active stories. It is hard to take a break from my longest story but alas I have to but I will be back as soon as the anime resumes and we enter the final arc of MHA and the final arc of this story. That is all that I have for y'all, this was a final wrap up chapter for Deku's return, so I will leave it off here. As always, if you like it or have any questions please let me know in reviews or PMs, I will try to answer them as best I could and post any questions asked between uploads at the start of the next chapter and do follow and favorite this, so you are alerted to future uploads. Do keep the reviews coming as I like hearing from y'all as you enjoy my work, it motivates me to keep producing the best work I can for y'all to enjoy. Until next time.
