3DD

Chapter 3

Katsuki Bakugou was four years old when he learned not all men are created equal.

He had recently heard from his parents that Izuku, his best friend, was Quirkless. Due to having manifested his own Quirk, [Explosion], very recently, Katsuki just brushed Izuku off as hopeless and even occasionally mocked him for still trying to be a Hero.

That all changed when Auntie Inko and Uncle Sashi came home from a cruise that had ended up in the wrong end of a Villain Attack...and Deku wasn't with them.

Katsuki had learned that Izuku had risked his life to save someone and they had both been lost at sea as a result. This made the blonde rethink his entire philosophy; he may have looked down on Izuku for lacking a Quirk but he never wished him dead.

Search parties went out to try and find Izuku but no leads were made and the case was sadly closed. The grief Inko and Hisashi showed made Katsuki strive to become something to be proud of, the kind of hero Deku would have been.

He would get his chance when, on his 8th birthday, he saw an old man being attacked by a Villain. The blonde had rushed in without thinking and hit the villain with his strongest explosion.

Of course, it turned out that the old man had everything under control; he was a retired fighter and hadn't dulled his skills in age…. but he appreciated the sentiment as he finished off the villain.

The man in question was renowned overseas chef and martial artist, Red Leg Zeff. Impressed by Katsuki's courage, Zeff took him on as an apprentice, training him in his ways. He also helped Katsuki out with developing his cooking skills, which he already had impressive displays of even back then.

Then, just after his 11th birthday, Katsuki would get another surprise that'd change his life.

DEVIL

The 11-year-old Katsuki Bakugou was relaxing in bed. He was gazing out the dark evening sky as the stars began to appear.

"Deku...I know in my gut you're not dead. Where the hell are you right now?"

Suddenly, one star began glowing brighter than normal and seemed to be growing larger. Katsuki got out of bed to see what was going on...before quickly realizing the star was coming closer!

"SHIT!"

Jumping out of the way just in time, Katsuki took cover as the star crashed into his room. Surprisingly, as the dust began to clear, it didn't seem like much was damaged. Katsuki waved the smoke away as he growled, prepared to give whatever or whoever this was a piece of his mind...

...only for his brain to short-circuit the minute he saw a girl standing up from where the 'star' impacted...A NAKED GIRL.

"HORIKOSHI, ODA, AND TORIYAMA! PUT SOME FUCKING CLOTHES ON!"

The girl had a petite figure, short bright pink hair, rosy cheeks, and dark blue eyes that seemed to shine like the night sky. She was seemingly confused by Katsuki's flustered reaction, not even seeming to notice or care that she was indecent.

"OY, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING..." Mitsuki snapped as she barged in...only to be met with the naked girl in front of her and Katsuki looking at his mother with a face that screamed "I'm just as fucking confused as you are!".

"Poyo!" The girl beamed.

DEVIL

The girl's name turned out to be Kirby and apparently, she was an alien from beyond the stars who had crash-landed on Earth to escape the destruction of her home planet. Rather similar to a certain Man of Steel, but it still checked out.

With nowhere to go, Kirby was taken in by the Bakugou Family, going under the surname of 'Sakurai'. She and Katsuki, after the awkward first meeting they had, managed to hit it off quite well and soon, they found themselves as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Right now, Katsuki was 14 years old and in his last few months of school at Aldera Junior High, AKA the worst fucking school in Japan. Thank god that Kirby had transferred there to keep him company. There was only so much ass-kissing he could take from the coat-riding extras.

"Alright, you brats, this is your last year of school and you'll be graduating soon!" The homeroom teacher said. "Now, I'd hand out these forms of what occupations you'd want...but let's face it, you all want to be Heroes!"

Katsuki just scoffed as the extras showed off their basic bitch Quirks. Kirby was just snoring away, having already had her lunch in class as well. God Katsuki loved how that girl defied the rules while still being so perky and innocent.

"Oy, teach! Don't bother lumping me and my girl in with these extras! Their Quirks couldn't even get them jobs as a sidekick for some D-Lister!"

While he had learned some humility and empathy, especially with Zeff as his mentor, Katsuki was still brash, cocky, and hot-tempered. Naturally, this pissed off everyone in the class.

"HEY, WE HAVE POTENTIAL TOO, JERK!"

"Shut the fuck up all of you!" Katsuki snapped. "I made a promise to myself that I'd be the kind of Hero who would be there for others! The kind of Hero who always put others before himself! Just like Deku wanted!"

"That Midoriya kid? Wasn't he Quirkless or something?"

"I heard he died on that cruise incident ten years ago."

"Meh, one less powerless loser, don't you think?"

Everyone immediately scooted away from the last person who spoke, who quickly realized what he said and paled as Katsuki loomed over him, a look of murderous rage on his face.

"The fuck you say?"

"…I-I-I-I…"

"That damn nerd gave his life to save someone else. Which of you fuckers can say the same?! TELL ME!"

All was silent, the offending student looked like he had just pissed himself. Katsuki waited a moment before huffing as he sat back down at his desk, kicking his feet back up.

"That's what I fucking thought. Only me and Kirby are becoming Heroes in this shitty class and that's all there is to it."

"Tests, please!" Kirby beamed innocently.

DEVIL

After school, Katsuki and Kirby were walking back home together. The pink-haired girl happily skipping alongside her boyfriend while humming a merry song while the ashen blonde boy merely kept his usual scowl to ward off anybody who would try and bother him and his girlfriend.

"Say, Kaachan?" Kirby asked. "I know that you don't 'do' speeches about 'sappy' stuff, but…"

She paused, trying to find the words.

"…Izuku meant a lot to you, right?"

Katsuki pasued midstride and shuddered, fighting back tears.

"…He was my friend. My only real friend."

"Before me?" Kirby asked, trying to alleviate the mood, which she did judging by the light chuckle her boyfriend made.

"Well, you're way more than a friend." Katsuki smirked, before the memories returned. "…I always thought he was annoying; following me around, praising me…and when I fell once and he tried to help? I…I.."

"You thought he was pitying you when he was just that nice?" Kirby guessed.

Katsuki sighed and nodded.

"And when he died saving someone on that cruise, it made me think; 'Holy shit. I'm a shitty person.' I was going to become a hero njust to prove I was the best, while he? He jsuted wanted to help people. And he did without any kind of Quirk."

Kirby hugged the explosive blonde, patting his head to c

Suddenly, a ringing alerted Katsuki as he took out his phone and checked to see it was a message from his mom...and what he read made his eyes widen in absolute shock and disbelief.

"What does it say?" Kirby asked, looking over her boyfriend's shoulder to read the message:

[COME QUICK. IZUKU'S ALIVE! HE'S HOME!]

DEVIL

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city, a young woman was relaxing by herself, just enjoying the day as she left school.

"Ah, what a relief! School today was MURDER!"

The girl's name was Hilda Toukotoya. She was a tall, slender young lady with long dark brown hair in a ponytail and blue eyes. She wore a white and pink hat, a white tank shirt that reached her waist underneath a black waistcoat, and a pair of denim shorts with white tear details on them. She wore black wristbands with a small pink stripe on both of them, matching black ankle boots with pink laces and soles, and a pair of black socks underneath. She also carried a pink messenger bag around.

Hilda was a spunky, tough girl who was always ready for any challenge thrown her way. She was fearless and competitive as they came but also compassionate and friendly.

"Hey, Hilda..."

The girl beamed and turned to see her best friends.

The first was a tall, lanky, and unassuming young man with pale skin, curly and unkempt black hair, and a pair of glasses covering hazelnut eyes.

The other was a girl with very long dark brown hair tied in two large sock buns above her ears, with two long locks hanging loose to her waist, shorter locks on either side of her face, pale peach skin, and dark blue eyes. She wore a pink and white visor on her head, as well as a salmon pink tank top tied with a bow around her neck like a bikini top under a white quarter-length slim fit top with ice blue sleeves and a fully salmon pink semi-Poké Ball printed on the chest area. On her bottom half, she wore frilly flared mustard yellow shorts over black lycra leggings with salmon pink socks. Her hi-top shoes were ice blue and white with mustard yellow laces.

The boy's name was Benio Torekuroshi, a rather shy and awkward boy who was also a childhood friend of Hilda. He always seemed to be off in his own little world at times and never seemed to pay attention in class, yet managed to do very decently all the same. Hilda often suspected that he might be a night owl.

The girl was Rosa Meihei. She was energetic, adventurous, compassionate, and tended to be a bit slow on the uptake. However, Hilda couldn't ask for a better friend than her.

"Bianca and Cheren are wondering if you're still up to go to the arcade tomorrow after school," Ben said as Hilda beamed, slinging an arm over his shoulder.

"Sounds like a blast! I'm sure we'll have lots of fun!"

"Yeah! Maybe I'll finally beat Cheren's DDR high score!" Rosa added.

Suddenly, the sound of something crashing alerted both teens as they ran to the source. There, they saw an 8-foot-tall bald man with teal skin and twelve arms. Three on his left, three on his right, and six on his back.

"Holy crap, isn't that Gus the Ogre?!" Hilda exclaimed in shock, recognizing the B-Rank Villain.

"Crap, that guy's been rising in the Villain Ranks recently," Ben said. "Guys, we gotta alert the authorities!"

"HELP!"

It was then that the two friends noticed that Gus had a family trapped in his arms. A couple of Pro Heroes were nearby, but they couldn't risk making a move, lest it give the Villain incentive to kill the family.

"Nobody here try anything funny or I'll kill this family!"

Hilda didn't know what happened, it was as if her legs moved on their own as soon as she saw the family had a scared little child. Ben saw this and looked back and forth before running into a nearby alley, quickly taking off his backpack and pulling something out...

Back with Hilda, she picked up a rock and threw it at Gus with the pitching strength of a professional baseball player. The rock hit Gus right in the face, making him scream and let go of the family. Rosa rushed in, taking the opportunity to help guide the family to safety as the Pro Heroes used the opportunity to jump him.

Unfortunately, the multi-armed villain was now pissed off and used four of his arms to knock the Pros away as easily as swatting some insects. He then glared at Hilda as she got on guard, making a 'Come On' gesture. Rosa also turned around and smacked her behind while pulling her eyelid down and sticking out her tongue.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU!"

The people witnessing the action watched in shock as Gus charged at Hilda and Rosa like a freight train before unleashing a barrage of punches with all his arms. Gus grinned madly lost in his rage and bloodlust as blood splatters entered his vision as he rained down a volley of fists with such force it raised a dust cloud around him and Hilda. Finally after what seemed like hours but was only 5 minutes the barrage ended did the agonizing scream of pain entered everyone's ears.

Only, it didn't come from either of the girls.

Gus didn't know what happened, as he was calming himself down he was confident he had just annihilated the little bitches when all of a sudden he felt an agonizing pain in all of his twelve hands. He was able to hold in the scream as he looked at his hands to see if they had been somehow broken. But as he looked down at his hands, his eyes widened in horror as he looked at the bloody, gushing stomps and this time, he couldn't hold in his scream.

"Really? Trying to kill a family and then hurt a girl? Not impressed."

Gus saw that a hooded man in all black had jumped in front of Hilda and Rosa to protect them and his eyes widened. He had heard stories of this man, a man who robbed Quirks from criminals, abusers, and other malicious kinds of people and gave to the less fortunate. He was like a Robin Hood for Quirks and was known by only one name:

The Quirk Judge.

As Gus fell on his ass and backed away, Hilda huffed as she put her hands on her hips. The Quirk Judge had jumped in front of her and used a Quirk that covered himself in unbreakable and sharpened diamonds.

"You know I had him, right?"

"Yeah, Hilda coulda taken him!" Rosa pouted.

"Didn't look like it from where I was standing."

Hilda rolled her eyes but popped her neck from side to side and grinned.

"Can I at least kick this creep where the sun doesn't shine?"

The Quirk Judge couldn't show his face through the black mask that only had two red glaring eye holes, but Hilda could easily tell he was grinning as he nodded.

"Be my guest."

Grinning, Hilda ran toward Gus and reared her leg back before kicking him square in the nuts, making his eyes bug out before his cheeks bulged. He then spat out a large iron ball that fell in front of his groin as he fell over and didn't get back up, foaming at the mouth.

"That hurt to even watch!" One of the Pro Heroes winced as he recovered from the blow Gus had given him.

"And it's live!" Rosa grinned, having recorded the scene on her phone.

"Hey! It's that Vigilante! Stop right there!" The other Pro Hero said as he noticed the Quirk Judge, who simply snapped his fingers and turned into dark mist, which disappeared soon after.

Hilda sighed as the police arrived to detain the crippled and neutered Gus, hauling him away in a prison ambulance. She looked to the nearby rooftops to see the Quirk Judge staring at her and nodding his head before leaving the scene.

She and Rosa knew the true identity of the Quirk Judge. It was a closely guarded secret shared between the three of them.

"Come on, Rosa. Let's go to my place." Hilda said. "Mom's cooking steak tonight."

"Goodie!"

As the two friends left, they didn't know a certain skeletal blonde man had been watching everything unfold.

"Those girls rushed in to save that family at the risk of her own life...Yes, I think I have a feeling one of them is the one."

DEVIL

The Quirk Judge had managed to escape to Hilda's house, where he climbed in through the window before removing his clothes and putting them back into the backpack. As it turns out, he was none other than Ben.

"Good thing I was there. Hilda's got a good Quirk to combat any serious injuries but she knows I can't take any chances. Rosa's Quirk is good too but still..."

After getting dressed back in his regular clothes, Ben headed downstairs to greet Hilda's mother, who smiled as she was cooking dinner.

"Oh, good afternoon, sweetie!"

"Hey, Mrs. Toukotoya."

As if right on cue, Hilda and Rosa came in as well. Her mother quickly ran over to check up on her, a fraught look on her face.

"Hilda, sweetie! Thank heavens! I saw the news that you challenged a Villain by yourself! If that Vigilante hadn't been there..."

"Mom, it's cool. I had it all under control." Hilda groaned. "Besides, that creep couldn't have been able to kill me even if he wanted to."

Hilda's mother just sighed, knowing her daughter was referring to her Quirk, [Optimal Condition].

They had first learned of the Quirk when Hilda was very young, having fallen out of a tree and landed on her head. However, while she did feel pain, there was no skull fracture detected despite the high impact.

The Quirk Doctor immediately got to work and soon came back with the results; Hilda's Quirk allowed her to stay in a permanent optimal state of being. This meant that anything that would detriment her person, such as injuries both external and internal, would immediately heal themselves. It wasn't just injuries either as illnesses, temporary ailments, anything that could cause harm to the body would be undone in seconds.

"Yeah! And I could have backed Hilda up too!" Rosa added.

Rosa's own Quirk was [Absorbtion], which allowed her to absorb and take on the properties of any kind of matter or energy she came into contact with. She could even shapeshift when in a matter-absorbed state.

"Well, alright. But you can't blame a mother for worrying, alright?"

Hilda smiled and hugged her mom as Rosa happily jumped in to hug them both. Ben shyly joined in as well, and the three were happy to allow him in.

A knock on the door broke the tender moment as Ben went to answer it. As soon as he opened the door, he gawked when he saw a certain Symbol of Peace standing in front of him.

"I AM HERE, TO HAVE AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION!"

"ALL-MIGHT?!"

The #1 Pro Hero of Japan just gave a hearty laugh, as if he had expected this sort of reaction.

"U-Um, w-what brings you here, Mr. All-Might, sir?" Ms. Toukotoya nervously asked, just as freaked out as her daughter and her best friends.

"I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOUR DAUGHTER IN PRIVATE IF YOU PLEASE!"

"M-Me? Did I do something wrong?"

"NOT AT ALL! IN FACT, I'D LIKE TO SAY I AM IMPRESSED BY WHAT YOU DID TODAY!"

"I-I'm not following."

All-Might just put a hand on Hilda's shoulder, his proud smile never wavering. He just seemed to radiate an aura of calm and trust that Hilda immediately relaxed.

"I WAS IN THE AREA WHEN I SAW GUS THE OGRE HOLDING THAT FAMILY HOSTAGE. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO INTERVENE WHEN I NOTICED YOU AND YOUR FRIEND RUSHING IN AND DISTRACTING THAT VILLAIN SO THAT THE FAMILY COULD ESCAPE."

"Yeah, it was all a blur, I guess. Thank god the Quirk Judge was there to help." Rosa admitted.

All-Might nodded. He had heard tales about the Quirk Judge and understandably had doubts about him, especially since his abilities seemed far too similar to THAT MAN. However, what he had heard and now just seen helped ease those doubts.

"I SEE, THAT JUST MAKES THINGS EASIER FOR ME. HILDA TOUKO, BECAUSE YOU HAVE PROVEN YOU HAVE THE HEART OF A HERO, I HAVE AN OFFER I'D LIKE TO MAKE AND I DON'T MAKE IT TO JUST ANYBODY!"

"What do you have in mind?" Hilda asked, a little excited now. Was she gonna get a recommendation to any Hero School she wanted?

"I WOULD LIKE YOU TO-HURK!"

Suddenly, much to Hilda, her mother, Rosa, and Ben's shock, All-Might exploded into a cloud of smoke, blood spraying out of his mouth. His entire body had just changed in an instant. Instead of a mountain of muscles, he was now a sickly, gangly-looking man who was almost like a skeleton. His eyes were sunken but the electric blue irises could still be seen somewhat.

And now, Hilda, Rosa, and Ben began freaking out again. Ms. Toukotoya had already fainted dead away from shock.

"WHAT THE-?! HOW-?! WHY-?! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!"

All-Might sighed. "Suppose I should start with the obvious, huh?"

The skeletal man lifted his shirt which now looked way too big for him as the teens winced at a large scar running across the whole left side of his stomach and torso.

"Ugly, isn't it? I got this five years ago facing a dangerous villain. It had my guts spilling out all over it and everything." He put his shirt back down. "Luckily, I had a good friend heal up the worst of it but now I can only be a Hero for 5-6 hours at a time."

"What kind of villain was powerful enough to damage you that badly?!" Ben asked.

"This villain was only known to me and the people I trust with my life. Even among the higher echelons of the government, the Heroics Committee, and even the SCP Foundation, it's a closely guarded secret."

"To have your guts hanging loose and still able to win against whatever horrifically powerful villain you were fighting...that must have been something," Hilda noted.

"Yes, I thankfully had help from Ambrosia and Depestilous. Thanks to their powerful Healing Quirks, I got most of the damage repaired. Still, it was not without its toll, as I've already explained."

"So...what did you even want to tell us about?" Ben asked.

"Well, when I saw Young Hilda risking her life to save that family, I knew immediately she was the one."

"The one for what?"

"To inherit my power, of course!"

"Wait, what? You can have people inherit your Quirk?!"

All-Might chuckled. "You jumped into action while the rest of us stood idly by. You acted like a true hero out there, a rare attribute in our current society."

"So...how does this even work? What even is your Quirk?" Hilda asked. "You've always kinda dodged the question during interviews."

"Because, my girl, like the villain who gave me my injury, my Quirk is also a well-guarded secret. You see...I was born Quirkless, my power was given to me by another. It is a power that has been cultivated since the Dawn of Quirks, growing stronger with each new user..."

All-Might then held his hand out, a glowing light emitting from it as Hilda and Ben stared in wonder.

"The name of this power, the Ultimate Quirk...is ONE FOR ALL!"

"One For All..." Hilda, Rosa, and Ben all whispered in awe.

"I have been looking for a successor for quite some time now. Even I am not immortal and I will one day dip out of the hero scene. When that time comes, I will need someone who is ready to take the mantle." All-Might explained. "But I must warn you, if you choose to accept this, a great gift and a terrible burden will be placed upon you."

The three teens looked at each other worriedly but then their eyes steeled as determination came to the former, turning her head to face the skeletal Symbol of Peace.

"I always wanted to be a badass hero, especially since my Quirk makes me practically invincible! So if this Quirk can help me go even further beyond...LET'S DO IT!"

"No hesitation. Heh, you remind me of myself when I was your age." All-Might smiled. "However, with how much power One For All has accumulated, it could very well risk tearing your body apart if you don't know how to properly harness it."

"No problem!" Hilda smiled reassuringly. "My Quirk, [Optimal Condition], will fix up anything that's broken!"

All-Might was confused until both Hilda and Ben explained the former's Quirk to him. After they were done, he was left quite surprised.

"That is certainly an amazing Quirk. It could very easily mesh well with [One For All]!" All-Might smiled. "I guess both of us lucked out here today, didn't we?"

"You said it!" Hilda laughed playfully.

"Still, I must warn you; invincible and unstoppable are two very different things. Just because you are unable to be hurt or killed doesn't mean you can't still be defeated, after all."

Hilda nodded. "I know."

"Maan, you're so lucky, Hilda!" Rosa beamed.

DEVIL

This was the one thing Izuku had dreaded the most since he returned home to Japan...he was standing in front of his family house. He at least was grateful that his friends had accompanied him to provide emotional support.

"Well, knock on the door," Kazuya said.

"It's been ten years!" Izuku reminded them, half wanting to delay this but half wanting to get them to see how hard this was for him.

"Well, we aren't waiting! And neither should you!" Kohaku huffed.

"What if they moved and this isn't...?" the green-haired boy started.

"Then we'll find them!" Marco argued, annoyingly pointing to the door. "Now. Knock."

With a sigh, Izuku did just that. After a tense few moments of waiting, the door opened, and...there was no one.

"Huh?" A cute voice cooed.

They all looked down to see a little girl, no older than six, looking up at them.

"Um, hi there. I-is this where Inko and Hisashi Midoriya live?" Izuku managed to ask.

The little girl looked up at him, then took a deep breath, her eyes still focused on him before she quickly spun around.

"HEY MOMMY! THERE'S A BUNCH OF BIG KIDS AT THE DOOR, AND ONE OF THEM LOOKS LIKE DADDY IF HE HAD YOUR EYES AND HAIR!"

"Whoa, whoa, WAIT! WHAT THE HECK?!" Izuku cried as he tried to stop the child, only to be greeted by two familiar faces.

"Komeko! Please don't answer the door without..."

Izuku could only stare at his parents who he hadn't seen in ten long years. Inko had put on quite a bit of weight and Hisashi looked a bit more haggard, complete with a heavy amount of stubble on his face. Despite this, Izuku still recognized them all the same.

"I-Izuku..."

"H-Hey Mom...Dad...been a long time..."

DEVIL

It had taken over three hours of crying between the Midoriyas before anybody could speak.

"Who knew their tear ducts were so powerful?" Chikara asked in some amusement and much concern, as he and Sumiko used their Meta Abilities based on King and Merlin's [Disaster] and [Infinity] to restore the water damage.

"Have you forgotten when our training started?" Sumiko smiled at the family sweetly, then recalled the crybaby Izuku had been despite his determination.

"They have every right to sob," Kazuya said, ending the conversation.

"It certainly moved my heart...even though I technically don't have one, being a grim reaper." Milo giggled. Yaato and Makoto lightly chuckled as well.

Eventually recomposing themselves, Hisashi and Inko gave their son a run down on what had happened after he and Hibiki went overboard:

Selkie had searched for days before being ordered to pursue the World Pirates, whom he successfully caught. Sanjuan Wolf was still at large to this day (literally and figuratively), but his bounty had been increased by 300,000 yen for the 'death' of Izuku.

Aside from the Bakugou family, nobody else had given Izuku much thought, some even suggesting Inko and Hisashi try and have a kid who had a Quirk.

"And long story short, I got fired after hearing that one too many times," Hisashi admitted with a chuckle.

"Honey, you punched your co-worker so hard that he's still eating through a straw." Inko clarified.

"I don't care."

"….Yup, you're Izuku's Dad, alright," Yaato smirked. "Honestly, I'd have done the same."

"He was a meanie, and he got hurt!" Komeko beamed, once again hugging her big brother. "Kaachan talked about you a lot, Izu-Nii! He missed you."

Izuku smiled and returned the hug. Already, he had come to bond with the little sister he had only just gotten to know.

"And about five years ago, Komeko here came along," Inko admitted. "She was a surprise…but one I think we needed and adore."

"No kidding, how can one little girl be so freaking adorable?" Kohaku asked.

Suddenly, a large explosion and the sound of a door being ripped off its hinges were heard, startling everyone before an angry voice roared out.

"WHERE IS HE?! WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!"

Everyone jumped when the front door was blasted down and turned to see a young man with spikey ash-blonde hair, crimson eyes, and smoke steaming off his hands.

"KATSUKI, YOU BRAT! WE TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT ANYMORE!" Mitsuki's voice was heard as the boy paid her no mind before looking Izuku dead in the eye.

"Kaachan!" Komeko greeted happily, running to hug the blonde boy, only to pause when she realized he was paying her no mind.

"K-Kaachan-?" Izuku started, but he couldn't even finish his sentence when Katsuki suddenly kicked him square in the face, sending him flying into the wall. Izuku's friends all prepared for a fight before Izuku suddenly rushed forward, having instantly recovered from the blow and headbutted his old friend in the stomach.

"Is that any way to greet a friend you haven't seen in forever?" Izuku smirked, even wiping his lip. That kick had felt like one of Kohaku's regular hits!

"FUCK YOU, YOU SHITTY DEKU!" Katsuki snapped. "YOU DON'T GO DISAPPEARING FOR TEN STRAIGHT FUCKING YEARS AND THEN COME BACK NOT EXPECTING THAT!"

The two boys glared at each other before tears began welling up in their eyes, followed by them hugging each other.

"I MISSED YOU!" They managed. "I MISSED YOU MORE!"

"Is that Kaachan's friend?" A girl with pink hair asked as Mitsuki and Masaru came in after Katsuki.

"Yes, Kirby. That's him." Masaru said, taking off his glasses to clear the budding tears of joy from his eyes.

"Um...what are we? Invisible?" Shun asked bluntly as Makoto elbowed him.

"Let them have this moment, man."

"Read the room, Shun!" Kohaku hissed through her teeth.

Izuku took the time to introduce his friends and Katsuki in return introduced Kirby to Izuku. Needless to say, Izuku was quite surprised by this.

"How the hell did you manage to get a girlfriend, Kaachan?"

"Would you believe me that she fell from outer space and could only say 'Poyo' for the first couple of weeks she lived with us?"

"Thank goodness she's shown to be such a fast learner!" Mitsuki laughed, ruffling Kirby's head as she smiled. "Not to mention her appetite. She put me and Inko to work but it's a good thing she was such a good big sis to Little Komeko."

DEVIL

Everyone had sat down for lunch while Yaato and Katsuki found themselves getting into an epic cooking contest to see who could cook better.

"Eat shit, Ban Hands! I've learned the best from Red Leg Zeff himself!"

"Well, let's see if passed-down knowledge can beat self-taught knowledge!"

When the two boys were finished, they presented their dishes to everyone. Katsuki had made African Ramen while Yaato had cooked up Hardcrab with Fried Beach Rice.

"Yummy!" Komeko mewled happily as she tried both dishes, which only radiated an aura of cuteness toward everyone.

"Well, I'd say both of you boys are plenty talented." Inko giggled.

"You know, Rayleigh told me about Zeff. They met a few times back in the day." Izuku said as he helped himself to both dishes as well.

"Heh, these hands are made for exploding stuff with my Quirk but Zeff taught me how to work with my legs as well," Katsuki smirked proudly.

All in all, everyone had a wonderful time, the mood of the Midoriya household having finally lifted after so long without their son. And he and his friends still had many stories to tell them.

DEVIL

Knightmare Lord A/N:

I decided to add Rosa from Pokemon Black & White 2 to the mix since I feel like she and Hilda bounce off each other quite well.
