The rest of the week passed quickly, and it was soon time for everyone to return home.
"Well kids, this was a hell of a week." Gran Torino chuckled as he saw Izuku and Ben off. "Glad I was able to help where I could."
"Thanks for everything, Gran Torino." Izuku smiled as he and Ben bowed before taking the train.
"I've heard Toshi's already told you about...HIM." Gran Torino said grimly. "But with what you kids have shown, you just might be the ones to take him once and for all if he ever does show his face again."
"We promise, Gran Torino..." Ben said. "He'll never see the light of day again if he tries anything."

"Talk about an awesome week!" Sero said. "I was actually in the thick of it in Hosu!"
"As did I. We helped in stopping a dangerous threat from destroying the city," Shouji added.
"Man, you wound up there?" Eijirou asked. "With me, it was mostly refining my Quirk into a style that was suited to my personality."
"I feel like I can do so much more with my Quirk now," Mina said, patting her big belly. "And don't worry about all this extra weight. My tank is full and ready to go!"
"Thank god that Aizawa-Sensei ordered for our seats to be upgraded so we could sit in them," Kyouka said, her, Mina, and Momo's desks having been enlarged to suit their new jumbo-sized bodies.
Momo nodded. "Still, Tsuru's internship was very informative...regardless of how large I've become now."
"I was able to help deal with some villains too. We were taking down a group of drug smugglers that were posing as stowaways." Tsuyu said.
Fumikage nodded. "My internship with Sengoku the Buddha was most fulfilling."
"Things with the S-Rankers were really enlightening..." Ochako said, having a battle aura around her.
"Yeah, but Iida, Todoroki, and N, you guys were in the thick of it against the Hero Killer!" Denki said as everyone turned to the two aforementioned boys. "What was he like up close and in person?"
"He's rather difficult to describe," N admitted.
"His tenacity is certainly to be admired, and his motives are understandable. The trouble is he's fanatical, narrowed-minded, tunnel-visioned, and completely out of touch with how the world works." Tenya explained. "Not to mention, while he wanted to change the world, he did so through cold-blooded murder. Such actions cannot be condoned under any circumstances."
"To be honest, I thought he was a little cool. But that went out the window when I learned he killed a Pro Hero who had only just graduated." Denki admitted.
"At least now Star Plasma and the 59 other Pro Heroes he's cut down can rest in peace," Shoto said. "And the former Pro Heroes who were left maimed and crippled have also seen justice."
Koby cleared his throat. "All this talk is good, but class is about to start. Let's take our seats, everyone."

During lunch period, Momo was sitting down when someone puller her chair out.
"Oh, so sorry, 1A scum!" Monoma cackled. "But with all your…"
He was silenced by Makoto, who backhanded him into a wall and helped Momo0 up…before nestling inbto her stomach.
"U-um…pardon?" Momo asked.
"You're doing and looking a'okay!" Makoto beamed as he left.
"Oh, um…t-thank you, Makoto.
BONK!
Kohaku had slammed her fist onto Makoto's head and was dragging him back, while she and the others grovelled
"We are so, so, SO SORRY, MOMO!" Kohaku mused. "He never learned resrraint!"
"Oh, um…I-its nothing too bad!" Momo waved off the apology. "Also, you seem to be short two of your brothers."
Worried, Kohaku turned around and then gasped.
"YAATO! CHIKARA!" She called out in a scandalous tone.
Her brothers were interactiong with Kyokua and Mina, respectively.
Well, Chikara was interacting; Yaato was on the ground in pain after being stabbed by Kyouka's earjacks.
"PERVERT!"
"Totally worth it!" Yaato managed as he nursed his eyes. "And pervert I may be, but that…!"
"YAATO!" Izuku snapped.
"….Like you don't check out Ochacko's…" Yaato mumbled, delighted when his captain tensed and looked worried.
Ochacko herself simply smirked knowingly.
"You like it?" She teased.
"…I-like-all-of-you." Izuku hurriedly mumbled, hiding his blushing face in his hands.
Back to Chikara and Mina, the shorter, levitating boy had accidentally bumped into her, but whatever embrassment he migfht've felt vanished as he melted in to the pink skinned girl's folds.
"So warm…." Chikara beamed as he felt his worries vanishing
"Awwww!" Mina cooed as she hugged the smaller boy, then smirked. "You know, most girls only let boyfriends get this close."
"Well then, when are you available?" Chikara asked trying to be as gentlemanly as possible. "It only seems fair we see if we can be more than friends and cuddle buddies…"
Mina paused and thought before smirking.
"Wednesday. After school."
"I shall count the seconds." Chikara smiled as he gently pecked at Mina's hand. "So far, I'm up to three!"
"….Lucky bastards." Mineta and Kaminari seethed together, getting slapped by Tsuyu for their words.
"Be decent human beings, kero."

"I AM HERE! HOPING YOU'RE READY FOR LESSONS AGAIN!"All-Might welcomed Classes 1-A and Izuku's Crew who had changed into their hero outfits."Today we're going to have a race! Take everything you've learned from your internships and apply it here!"
"If it's rescue training then shouldn't we be doing this at the USJ?" Tenya questioned with his hand raised.
"The USJ is designed for natural disaster training, here it's hostage training,"All-Might explained."You'll be competing in groups of ten, five from each class, with each student having a different starting location on the outskirts. The interior is like a maze, and your only means of navigation will be a distress signal I'll be broadcasting from the center of the zone. The first one to reach my location, a simulation of a citizen seeking aid, will be the winner!"
The first group to kick off the lesson consisted of Izuku, Hilda, Ben, Marco, Yaato, Mina, Sero, Oujiro, Tenya, and Carrot.
"It's like this course was built with me in mind!" Sero grinned as he swung above everyone else with his tape.
"Yoink!" Yaato laughed as he zipped past Sero, running across a large pipe, his arms trailing behind him before he had to leap off and start jumping around from ledge to ledge and building to building like a ninja would from tree branches.
Tenya raced through the lower parts, Mina skated along some of the pipes, her newfound bulk not hindering her agility in the slightest, and Oyjiro kept slamming his tail against the various roofs to leap from building to building.
Carrot was running on all fours, using a mixture of her Mink physiology andSoruto zip across the area, using her enhanced senses to locate where All-Might was.
Ben had formed wings made of jagged tendrils that he was using to glide in the air, scanning the area for wherever All-Might was, using a Sonar Quirk to enhance the search area.
"Come on, slowpokes!" Hilda laughed as she raced past Sero and Yaato. "Don't tell me you're falling behind a fatty!"
She was doing well but wound up slipping on a pipe. However, instead of just falling, she suddenly found herself floating in midair. All-Might, who had seen Hilda coming in, was shocked by what he saw.
"OFA chooses now of all times for Young Toukotoya to unlock[Float]? The Quirk belonging to my sensei?'
Suddenly, All-Might felt a hand clasp his shoulder and turned around to see Izuku there with a cheeky grin on his face, having used the[Door-Door Fruit]to create anAir Doorconnected to his starting point.
"DAMMIT, MIDORIYA! YOU REALLY GOTTA CHEESE IT ON THE REST OF US?!" Sero snapped from afar.
DEVIL
After the tests had finished, the boys were getting changed in the locker room.
"Man, the new upgrades Ben gave you rock, Kaminari!" Eijirou smiled. "I saw you grinding on rails like a pro!"
"The blessing you were given has truly been becoming your own," Fumikage added.
"Why does nobody acknowledge mes brillants lasers?" Yuuga pouted.
"Holy crap! I think this hole leads right into the girls' locker room next door!" Minoru called out as he noticed a hole behind a poster. "A present from previous generations passed down to our humble hands...!"
Unfortunately, Mineta was then clobbered over the head by Yamato's club, sending him facefirst to the ground with a smoking bump on his head.
"Sorry, Yamato...I forgot that your pecs are just as fine to look at..."
DEVIL
After class, Izuku and his crew were invited into the teacher's lounge by Toshinori.
"Is everything alright?" Shun asked. "You seem more solemn than usual."
"To be perfectly frank, no. I recently learned something that troubles me greatly." Toshinori said. "Young Toukotoya, I heard that the Hero Killer swallowed some of your blood."
"Don't worry, I had no intentions of passing OFA at the time. Especially since I'm still learning new stuff about it." Hilda said reassuringly.
"Well, that's a relief. But that's not the only thing that is bothering me." Toshinori said. "The Nomu that attacked Hosu were taken into custody...and they had multiple Quirks. I hate to say it but there's only one true way this could happen."
"All For One..." Ben grimly said.
"I had hoped that the blow I had given him six years ago would have done him in but as I feared, he's still around and no doubt guiding the League of Villains from the shadows," Toshinori said. "I'm sorry, Young Torekuroshi..."
Spying the eyes on him and knowing this needed to be said, Ben sighed and composed himself.
"I know this probably will not come to as big a shock as normal but…" He began. "I'm not exactly a normal kid. Heck, I'm not sure I was even born in the convential sense."
The crew, especially the Seraphim all looked intrigued, but also worried. The way Ben talked, it was clear that Ben's creator was nowhere near as benevolent or loving as Vegapunk.
"My earliest memories are me in a tube, Quirks being forced in and out of me. And then I see this fellow in a dark suit with white hair forcing another into me, but this one? It stuck. From what I've been able to glean, it fused with my Quirk factor and became Quirk Artificer."
Ben then smiled and looked at All Might.
"Then, five years ago? Sensei here comes in, fists flying along with a few other UA teachers and Pro heroes. Mom…I mean, Midnight? She found me. Took me away, got me clothes and good food…and then called in a few favors so that I became Ben Torekuroshi Kayama."
The others smiled warmly, fighting back tears in their eyes. All Might grinned, feeling where his old wound used to be and smiling at Ben with pride.
"The best thing that came from horrible day."
"…But you…" Ben started.
"Young Torekuroshi, you are NOT All for One. You were an innocent he ensnared and your actions at this school and with your friends cement mine and Midnight's pride in you."
Ben weakly smiled at that, but then began to worry.
"….What if…?"
"Ben...you still have us." Hilda smiled as she pulled Ben into a hug. "And like we said before, we don't think any less of you."
"And hey, you went on to become a Robin Hood of Quirks before coming here to UA," Kohaku added. "You're awesome no matter what."
Clapping, accompanied by sniffles filled the air and everyone turned to see Midnight smiling brightly and with pride as she stormed in, taking Ben into a hug.
"Mom…." Ben started.
"You worry too much, sweetheart." She cooed. "And you don't have to go about thuis alone."
Ben found his will to deny dying as she melted in his mother's embrace, surrounded by his friends.
"And if that asshole shows his ugly face around here, we'll let him have it!" Katsuki said. "Besides, the creep's gotta be on life support right now after All-Might got through with him."
"You may have a point, Young Bakugou. All For One is certainly not going to be an easy fight, but he only survived against me by the skin of his teeth." Toshinori admitted. "Once Young Toukotya is able to access everything OFA has to offer, I've no doubt you might be able to succeed where I failed."
DEVIL
Meanwhile, in a large tower, Dr. Daruma Ujiko was checking on All For One's life support.
"I wasn't expecting the Hero Killer to be caught, and in such a way that his ideals were shattered. If not for Golden Lion Shiki, Tomura wouldn't be able to gather needed allies for the true League of Villains." All For One said.
"Aren't you concerned?" Dr. Ujiko asked. "Tomura is leaning more towards that arrogant pirate, after all."
"I don't know what he has in mind regarding them," All For One admitted, "But I'm sure I can overcome it. If I was able to survive a battle with All-Might, then nothing could bring me down for good. Those children had better enjoy their transient peace while it lasts..."
Dr. Ujiko sighed. "A shame that girl with the[Optimal Condition]Quirk has OFA. Such a potent healing Quirk would bring your body to its full potential again, allowing you to take control more easily."
"Nothing to do be done about that. Besides, Shiki will certainly be able to help Tomura unite the villains seeking us out. Of that, at least, I can be certain." All For One smirked. "One way or another... I'll make sure that twisted mind is used to become the next me..."
"Are you certain of that?"
The two men turned to see a bored Shiki floating into the room, hands behind his back.
"Shiki." All for One mused. "What brings you here?"
"Is it a crime to check on my dear ex-comrade?" Shiki asked. "Especially after that paragon punk All Might screwed you up so badly and swiped your literal flesh and blood? My, my how far you've fallen, Ichi-boy. Xebec would be disappointed; he had such high hopes for you…."
"Do not speak to the master as if you're his better." Ujiko snapped, only to feel swords at his neck.
"Then you do me the same, you wannabe Frankenstein. Honestly, Ichiro." Shiki sighed. "You probably could've swiped Queen when Rocks fell apart, maybe even bought Ceaser's loyalty but choose to stay in your homeland, nice and safe withy this doomsday cult creator who sold out? I'm disappointed in you."
"I have agents all over the world." All for One recounted. "And do recall, Shiki. That its thanks to my connections Oden, Linlin and Kaido haven't found you yet."
"For which I'm grateful." Shiki smiled, moving to reveal what he had been carrying behind his back. "Which is why I decided to give Tomura-boy…THESE."
In one hand, there was a stone mask with noticeable fangs on the mouth. And in the other hand: A red stone that Shiki placed into the forehead of the mask.
"Aw, you do remember them." Shiki smirked as he saw All for One's life sighs skyrocket and sweat drip down what remained of his face. "It has been 40 years, I wasn't…"
"Surely, you're not that mad, Shiki?!' All for One almost screamed. "Giving Tomura THOSE…?!"
"I am indeed that mad. And don't call me Shirley." Shiki smirked, blowing some cigar smoke into the faces of the two villains. "Tomura-boy is going to follow his own ideals, not yours. And if by some…coincidences….he ends up inheriting the Will of Xebec?...Well, what mentor would refuse such ambition?"
He then glared at his ex-crewmate and his doctor.
"Better to be himself…than anyone else 2.0."
Shiki then took a drag of his caigar and floated away as he entered a portal.
"Sorry for the delay, Dr. Indigo, how goes OUR plan?"
Knightmare Lord A/N:
Back to school with Izuku and friends and since Izuku's Crew already knows about All For One and One For All for the most part, we kinda skipped over some stuff. Hope the family fluff with Ben and Midnight, as well as the shipping starring Momo, Kyouka, and Mina with three of the Seraphim, was up to snuff at least.
Anything you'd like to say, Mrotrax?
Mrotrax A/N:
Shiki is taking Tomura down his own opath and we start some of the shippings!
Hope y'all like and that it was worth the wait!
See ya soon!
