That Time I Got Flung Across Worlds & Fell on my Big Tiddy Redhead GF

by Primordial Vortex

What happens when an aspiring hero student with a reality bending Quirk and a megalomaniac, sore loser of a "Demon Lord" with a thousand Quirks walk into the same hospital? A whole lot of explosions, craters, and a quick, unwanted trip across the multiverse. MHA/DxD crossover, with some One Piece for flavor. Not a full three-way cross. Izuku/Polycule

1. Chapter 1

Hey guys! So, here we are!

My first big crossover. I'm SO excited for some of the bullshit me and my friends have cooked for this. Now, even if you read the original pilot in Quantity of Quirks, I would definitely read this one again. Not only did I add about 8k words to it, but the original pilot had a lot of word vomit in a single scene to set up all the changes due to when I planned to start it. By necessity, I had to showcase everything to set everything up for the crossover, and since the one scene in the fic prior to the yeeting was gigantic battle, it ended up creating a bit of a harried mess with exposition thrown in a bunch of places. I hope this flows a lot better!

And while the pace will definitely still be breakneck for this initial chapter as I want to get to the actual crossover, it won't be quite as harried as in the original pilot.

Yes, this is a harem… obviously. And while I have no intention of turning the bedroom into a full rugby game… yeah, due to the setting, I'm going to be a bit more relaxed on my usual harem rules.

No, I don't care if you hate Rias. Fuck off.

Why did I go with this one for the Izuku that I chose to use in a crossover? Because it was hilarious. Just you wait. You all are NOT ready for the sheer shenanigans me and my friends have planned for this shit. *Nezucackle*

No, there will be no more people coming over from MHA. At least not until the plot is done. Maybe an epilogue.

I hope you enjoy!

Chapter I: That Time I Got Thrown Across Dimensions and Landed On My Big Tiddy Redhead GF Who Is Also A Devil

-]|[-

Izuku was nearly five years old when he heard the words that almost ruined his life.

"You should give it up."

"What?!" His lovely mother said the words, "What do you mean? Is there something wrong?"

"Your Quirk is basic telekinesis, is it not, Midoriya-san?" Dr. Tsubasa asked Inko, with her son Izuku sitting in stunned horror next to her.

"Ah..." Inko let out a little breath, "Well, I call it Attraction of Small Things." She replied, making a few pulling motions with her hand and bringing Izuku's All Might toy back into her hand in three little bursts of motion. He had dropped it because the doctor had quite rudely suggested Izuku give up on his dreams of Heroism.

"...Yes, that is basic telekinesis." He said lackadaisically, "Generally children inherit either of their parent's Quirks. He's yet to exhibit either the Fire Breath or Telekinesis you say he should, and he is very late in life now." He let out a creak, his spine audibly popping as he shifted, using a pointer to tap on an x-ray, "I suppose telling him to give up was a bit lazy and disingenuous of me." He used the pointer to tap a specific part of Izuku's foot, "As you can see here, Izuku does not have a second toe joint, meaning like the rest of the population, he currently most likely has a Quirk. It is very rare indeed for someone to lack the joint and also lack a Quirk. However, that is where the good news ends. First, there IS a possibility that he simply has no Quirk. As I said, it would be a rarity, but not an impossibility. His age does him no favors, as I'm sure you're aware."

Izuku looked both perked up and crushed at the same time. "So..." Inko struggled to get the words out.

Tsubasa shrugged, "There are three other possibilities; First, he may have an invisible Quirk. Something that barely affects his life, such as the ability to digest cellulose (which obviously most of the population lacks.) That is overwhelmingly the most likely option in this scenario. In other words, he has a Quirk, but it won't help him in anything, much less being a Hero."

Inko's teeth ground a little in her mouth, "And the other possibilities?"

Tsubasa stared for a moment, "There's hardly a point in discussing them." He said finally, "No need to get his hopes up only for time to crush them. The possibilities are low enough to nearly be considered statistical anomalies."

"Crush his hopes? Like you're doing now?" She finally snapped, an ugly look on her face. Izuku's eyes widened in surprise as he turned to look at her. It was so rare to see his mom angry.

Tsubasa sighed, "Band-Aids should be ripped off. Very well. The next possibility is that his Quirk is so powerful that his body can't handle it, and has instead locked it away. About a one percent chance." He said blandly, "You see why I didn't want to mention it? The chances are so low they're hardly worth speaking about." He shrugged his shoulders, "And the final possibility is that his Quirk is every bit the Heroic Quirk, but has such ludicrously specific activation conditions that he likely won't ever discover it. Hardly something to put stock in."

"Thank you for your time, doctor." Inko nearly snarled out, standing, and grabbing Izuku's hand, "Let's go Izuku."

…

Later that night, Inko wandered into the darkened room, where Izuku was tearfully watching All Might save people once again. "He saves people… with a smile..." Her heart broke at hearing his tearful voice. He turned, tears leaking from his eyes. She rushed to her son and hugged him, "C-can I be a cool Hero like him, Mom?"

Inko nearly cried, "You can do anything you set your mind to, baby." She replied after a couple seconds. There was a chance. The doctor had said so himself, even if it had been like pulling teeth. It wasn't impossible. She would not be the one to crush his dreams. Never!

-]|[-

"So what, are you Quirkless or not, Deku?" Katsuki asked him.

Izuku wilted a little, "I wish you wouldn't call me that, Kacchan."

"Stop being a Deku and I might stop calling you one." Katsuki shot back with a smirk, "Well? How did it go."

"The doctor was a jerk." Little Izuku mumbled, "He said I might have a Quirk, but also that there was a small chance I don't. He said if I did have a Quirk, it might be too strong for me right now, so it hasn't shown up yet. He also said it might be an in-invi"

"Invisible?" Katsuki always did have a better vocabulary than most of them in the class.

"Yeah!" Izuku nodded, "And he also said I might have a really cool one, but one that is hard to figure out how to use."

"Hmph, stupid Deku." Katsuki groaned, "You can't make things easy, can you? A yes or no would have been less annoying."

"How do you think I feel?" Izuku mumbled, a little annoyed, "At least mom says I can still be a Hero."

Katsuki snorted again, "You better start training and trying to figure your stupid Quirk out then. Can't have my sidekick being a Deku. DON'T start crying!" He pointed imperiously when he saw Izuku start to tear up at his encouragement.

"Thanks, Kacchan." Izuku said, smiling wetly.

-]|[-

Years passed, and no Quirk ever showed up. Almost everyone had started making fun of him and being jerks, though never when Kacchan was around. The bullying from his youth had intensified into outright physical violence. They had pushed, and shoved, and at some point, Izuku had shoved back just to get the boy off of him, and then the fists started to fly. Izuku had nearly been beaten black and blue.

Kacchan had saved him that first time. Just knocked all of his bullies back or out. But Kacchan wasn't about to have a weak sidekick. The second time, he got them all off him and all but spat at Izuku. He would never be a Hero if these chumps could give him a hard time. Izuku had teared up, initially thinking that even his best friend was abandoning him. But Kacchan had other ideas, and damn near slung Izuku at the bullies, telling him to fight for himself.

And so Izuku fought back, damn near trembling and messing everything up. But he had fought. He had defended himself. And that was enough for Kacchan to jump in and help once he started getting overwhelmed.

And so, Izuku had started taking martial arts and training with Katsuki. The two of them had picked up Muay Thai, after watching an old anime. They began taking things much more seriously, putting their hearts and souls into it. They pushed themselves to the edge that their sensei allowed, having had it pounded into their heads that they could hamper their own growth if they went too hard that young. But humans of this era could push their bodies much further than the humans of yesteryear. What would have been far, far too much for kids back then was just tough now. It was as if human bodies had evolved regardless of their actual Quirks.

Katsuki had suggested he get a weapon as well, since he'd seen some underground Heroes with them. With the elephant in the room that was Izuku's Quirk, that would most likely be the outcome for him. Izuku had gotten himself a bokken, and had started learning how to use it. Swords could be scary of course, and by definition would harm any Villains he fought, but they really were the only option. Guns had too many regulations, and his mom would have never gotten one for him.

He never quite could beat Kacchan in any of their spars, because his best friend was just awesome at fighting with insane instincts, and his Quirk gave him an edge Izuku had never been able to overcome. But Izuku never gave up, and every time they sparred, he did just that little bit better.

It hadn't taken long for both of them to realize that he had way better prospects as a Hero than any of the idiots who thought a shitty Quirk was better than no Quirk at all. For all that they had Quirks, and he didn't, they were the ones guaranteed to be D-Listers at best. They didn't have Izuku's drive to improve or his tenacity; beat in by his sensei, his best friend, and his circumstances and desire to overcome his limits.

Things were looking up for him. He had one good friend, and he'd already proven to himself that he could make it with hard work. He and Katsuki were top of the class in every respect, and his Quirklessness had stopped bothering him by the time he was eight. It looked like the doctor had been right and he'd simply been unlucky. Once he was a Hero, Izuku might even hope to meet Dr. Tsubasa one last time. Just to smile and say he proved him wrong.

And then he turned nine, and everything changed.

Izuku was (as Kacchan loved to tease him about) a nerd. He studied Heroes exhaustively. He meticulously analyzed strengths and weaknesses, and passed the time wondering how he could beat Villains with this Quirk or that Quirk.

He also loved fiction. Fantasy. He loved reading stories. Especially older stories from centuries past. For all that Quirks had given them great power and awesome abilities, they had seriously hampered creativity. Pre-quirk video games, books, sci-fi, anime… all of it was so much better than the stuff that came out today. It was Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple that had led them to Muay Thai, and it was One Piece that changed everything for him. Watching Monkey D. Luffy and his crew battle adversity, watching their triumphs and failures, just watching their lives had brought him to highs and lows he had never imagined fiction could bring him to. He loved every bit of it.

And then it happened, "Zoro is so COOL! RYŪMA IS AWESOME!" He squealed as he read the chapter where Zoro cut down Ryūma and took Shusui for his own, "Man, that's so cool! I wish I had a Shusui of my-" The book started to ripple. His words died in his throat as the pages of his manga started to ripple as if they were water someone had dropped a stone into. His breath caught in his throat and his heart beating like a drum, Izuku reached forward and tapped the page. His finger dipped into the page.

Izuku was stunned. This… this was a joke right? NOW of all times? When he'd already long made his peace with it? Tears starting to leak from his eyes, Izuku pushed forward, and his hand dipped into the book. He closed his fist around a shaft, and shakily started to draw it out. Shusuiwas in his hand, and his slack fingers dropped the book, letting the sword escape the pages entirely.

Shusui was in his hand.

Shusui was in his hand.

It was heavy! Way heavier than he expected!

Mechanically, he put the sheathed blade down on his floor and walked over to his shelf. He grabbed some other book and tried to remove something from its pages. It failed. He pinched himself. Shusui was still there, lying innocently on his floor. It was gorgeous.

He slapped himself. It was still there. He ran over and grabbed it, "MOOOOOOM!" He almost crashed into the door in his haste to get out of the room. He heard his mom yelp and drop something, though thankfully it didn't appear to be anything glass judging from the sound. "MOM! MOMMOMMOM IFOUNDMYQUIRK!"

Inko audibly gasped from the other room and started to run towards him, "Oh my baby, that's wonderful! How did you find it?" She opened the door, "What i-S THAT A SWORD!?"

Her shocked scream deafened everyone in a mile radius.

-]|[-

It took all of about six hours for Izuku to analyze the life out of his Quirk. He didn't even remember to call Kacchan in his excitement! First, he had immediately tried to go and get awesome items out of his other bits of entertainment. He tried everything from Mass Effect to Fairy Tail to Harry Potter. Nothing worked. The ability was solely limited to One Piece itself! He'd been a bit disheartened that maybe his ability was a fluke or a one-off, until his mom had told him to just try One Piece again. He'd successfully pulled out both Nami's Clima-Tact and Usopp's Kabuto. He'd then discovered that he could put them back into the manga. The second thing that he'd discovered was that it did not HAVE to be manga that he used his Quirk on. Anything that was officially One Piece would work, including the anime and databooks! The third thing he discovered was that he could not bring flesh and blood characters to life. Any item he could see, and, amazingly, any power he could understand, he COULD bring to life.

Needless to say, One Piece was firmly cemented as his favorite series of all time. And, once he calmed down and remembered, he couldn't wait to tell his best friend! "KACCHAN! I FOUND MY QUIRK!"

Katsuki flinched as Izuku screamed in his ear, "Ah, damn it Deku! What was that fo-... What did you say?!" He finally registered the words as his ears stopped ringing, "You found your fucking Quirk?! Seriously?! After all this fucking time?!" He laughed as the rest of the dumbfounded class stared in shock at the verdette and started mumbling, "What is it!? Come on, don't leave me hanging!"

"One Piece!" Izuku said cheerfully.

"..." The class was silent. "Fucker what?"

Izuku pulled out one of the databooks, flipped open to a page, and stuck his arm into the pages, "ONE PIECE!" He cackled a little maniacally, yoinking the Clima-Tact from the pages again, this time the one Usopp made for Nami after the time skip. He casually conjured a tiny thundercloud. It crackled and drew several flinches. Then he pointed it in a random direction and made one of his bullies flinch and flip backwards over his desk by extending the Clima-Tact just shy of his nose. It snapped back into position as the stunned kids freaked out.

"WHAT THE HELL/FUCK?!" The rest of the class screamed in shock.

Izuku laughed joyfully.

-]|[-

Izuku was vibrating in excitement. He had finally finished the manga, and it had been as amazing as he had expected. He would have to give it a second read through later in more detail. He'd gone through it so fast he was surprised the pages hadn't caught fire. Regardless, he was about to try something that would be amazingif it worked. Chapter 840. Page 14. There was a very interesting item on that page, and Izuku was about to try to pull it out. He reached his hand into the page, and grinned when he felt it touch his fingers. He pulled his hand out, and another book came with it. He started to laugh, "YES!"

In his hands was the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. "...Hope this works!" He opened it up and beamed when he saw the contents, "YES!" He cheered, though as he read on, his enthusiasm dimmed a little. Yes, every Devil Fruit he could think of from reading the story was in the book. Every one of them had descriptions and known abilities. It would have been perfect… but not every fruit had a picture. It made an unfortunate amount of sense. CP9 hadn't known what fruits they had been getting and they certainly had access to the book. Plus, this was from the time when Sanji was a child, so maybe it was less filled out. Oh well, time to experiment before he got himself excited and had it ruined.

He touched the picture of the Mera Mera no Mi… and activated his Quirk. "YES!" He cheered as he pulled the fruit out of the book. He didn't bite it, and in fact put it right back into the book. Now it was time to research. His very first 'little boy' dream fruit was Kaidō's Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryū. He almost couldn't stop himself from just yoinking the damn thing out of the Encyclopedia and chomping on it before he could change his mind. For as awesome as that fruit could be, he knew that it might not be the best option. Not only would he be a tiny noodle for who knew how long like Momonosuke prior to being permanently aged up, but even once he DID get bigger, he wasn't sure how useful it would be. It would just serve to strike terror in any city he was in, and had too much potential for collateral damage.

Plus, he did not want to guess wrong on whether or not it was a Magikarp situation, since the databooks had no information. He exercised self-control, and left the awesome dragon fruit on the 'maybe' list. The Gura Gura no Mi was right out. Awesome power, yes, but every time he punched a Villain in the face he'd do a thousand times more damage than anything they could do. Nika was AMAZING, and so was Mochi… there were dozens to choose from. Before long, he had a solid list of 'highly desirable' fruits, a couple maybes, and a whole bunch of 'no…just no.' There were dozens of fruits that would be amazing to have, but he could obviously only choose one. He wasn't Blackbeard after all.

In the end though, after days of thinking about it, he finally had a fruit in his hand.

Well, "hand" was disingenuous. The massive beast of a fruit was in his arms and had to weigh at least fifty pounds. If he hadn't spent years training, he doubted he'd be able to lift it at all. Half of him thought he should have expected it, judging on who it belonged to in the story. He carefully sat it down and sat, breathing a bit harder. "Izuku, are you sure this is a good idea?" Inko asked him carefully.

"It's my Quirk, mom! It wouldn't hurt me!" Izuku said cheerfully, drawing a wince from his mother. That wasn't necessarily true. She eyed the fruit like it was radioactive. It was a jackfruit obviously, though the size was the only tell. The flesh of the plant was white, and it had a massive stem that twisted upwards. There were light blue swirling designs all over it, making it look vaguely mystical. All in all… it looked like the classic depiction of a soul.

"...I'd be more comfortable if you let me try it first." Inko finally said, still eyeing it like it was going to hurt her baby.

"Okay!" Izuku chirped, and she moved forward, "Not this one!" Izuku said, holding his little arm out in a cute attempt to stop her, "Only one person can eat a fruit at a time. If you eat it, it just becomes a regular fruit." He reached for his book and pulled another fruit out. It was a pink, flower shaped fruit with a stem sprouting out of the top. The swirls on it made curly little "S"-like patterns on the petals. It looked a lot like a large pink dahlia. It was also significantly smaller than his fruit. "Fair warning mom. It's not going to taste good. Like at all. You just need one bite and it'll work. No need to eat the whole thing. If it tastes as bad as the story made it out to taste, I doubt we could eat a whole one anyway."

She eyed it even more distastefully now, before hesitatingly taking a bite. Immediately upon the juices filling her mouth, she gagged and dropped the rest of the deceptive fruit, clapping her hands to her mouth. It was the worst thing she had ever tasted, and it was filling her mouth completely. Her face was as green as her hair as she struggled to chew, falling to her knees as comical anime tears streamed down her cheeks. She dry-heaved multiple times before finally, she couldn't take it anymore and swallowed, not caring if it was chewed enough to go down. She hurriedly downed the full glass of milk Izuku had rushed to get her, but it didn't help much. After panting for a good minute while a worried Izuku stared at her, Inko finally spoke, "Honey...I love you… but if I ever come near one of those things again, I will not be held responsible for my actions."

Izuku giggled nervously, "Do you feel different?"

"No." Inko deadpanned, "-and I will not be happy if I did that for nothing."

Izuku did not like the slightly angry look in his mom's face, "T-try it out then!" He chittered nervously, "Picture your arm and try to picture one on top of my head. The character who used it would cross her arms in front of her chest to concentrate."

Inko deadpanned, but scrunched up her nose and did as her son explained. To her surprise, in a weird sound a picture-perfect replica of her arm including her wristlet appeared on top of her son's head! She let go of her concentration in surprise and it exploded into a shower of pink sakura petals, which floated away and evaporated. "Oh my! I did it!"

"You did it!" Izuku cheered back, "AND IT WORKS! WOOHOO!" He turned to the giant fruit and got close, gulping nervously for the oncoming assault on his taste buds. Gritting his teeth, he practically lunged forward and bit down "YUCK!" He couldn't help but screech, the piece falling out of his mouth as he stuck his tongue out. He grabbed it out of the air and with a look of disgust, stuffed it back in. He turned as green as his mom had as he struggled to chew, crying pitifully like she had. Finally, he forced it down, and then lay back spread eagle on the floor of their home. "...Okay… I'm SO glad I never have to do that again."

"What was your fruit?" She asked curiously, tossing him a bottle of his favorite juice before she continued chugging her own. Izuku grinned and ran out, before coming back with his favorite All Might toy. "Izuku?" She tilted her head curiously as he sat it down.

Izuku closed his eyes and cupped his hands in front of his body, focusing, "Noboru!" Inko gasped as a little ball of bright light exited Izuku's core and floated over to the toy. It sank in and the toy glowed. Izuku grinned in anticipation while Inko stared in confusion.

"It'll be alright!" Inko jumped and Izuku cheered as the toy started moving on its own. It talked. In a very hilariously squeaky version of All Might's voice! "Why? Because I am here!" It posed heroically.

"What the?!" Inko gaped, "Baby what did you do?!"

"I ate the Soru Soru no Mi!" Izuku grinned, "I can manipulate souls now and bring things to life! In the story, one of the characters turned a giant fire engulfing a whole town into a cute little sun! This will be awesome for Hero work!"

"Your SOUL!? But Izuku, isn't that dangerous?!" She shrieked in panic, "Oooh you little rascal, I wish I had read that book first!"

"It's okay!" Izuku waved her off, "The soul can recover! And I can take it back at any time!" He waved his hand, "Soul Pocus!" He drained the tiny bit of soul away and put it back in his body, "See!" All Might fell silent as he did so.

Inko breathed a sigh of relief, "Izuku, you're going to give me gray hair!" She whined, crying cartoon tears again. "You ever make a decision like that again without consulting me first and you're grounded for life!" She probably would have been more convincing if she hadn't been whining.

"Sorry mom." Izuku said contritely.

Inko sighed and got to her feet, "Ugh, that fruit tasted so bad it made me all sweaty." She complained, "I'm going to go take a bath." Izuku froze, and she noticed. "Izuku?"

Izuku looked meek in a way she hadn't seen in a couple years, "Uhhh….I may… have forgotten something about devil fruits." He said, sheepishly.

Inko grew alarmed, "What is it?"

He giggled nervously, "Well, they're called Devil Fruits for a reason." His voice got a little quieter, "It gives you an awesome power but you'll neverbeabletoswimagainandwillsinklikearockpleasedontkillme."

Inko stopped and went over his words in her head. Again. And again. Her eye twitched. Izuku ran away. An arm popped out of the wall and snagged his arm, "Oh Izuku~ Honey~ I just want to talk~ 💕"

Katsuki didn't see Izuku for a month.

-]|[-

"You ate the SOUL Fruit?!" Katsuki asked, gaping. "Damn that takes balls! Big Mom was a giant bitch, but she was scary as fuck. I'm impressed you were brave enough to take that one, Izuku!" Izuku almost squealed. That was the first time in months he'd heard his name out of Katsuki's mouth. The blonde had obviously started reading One Piece when Izuku's Quirk had come in.

"Yep! I even brought my All Might toy to life! It can Detroit Smash hard enough to crack wood and lift about 80 kg!" Izuku said cheerfully.

"Damn, badass!" Katsuki said appreciatively, "And you can fucking kill Villains with it as well!" He said, his teeth in a snarling grin.

"What?! Kacchan that's not Heroic at all! I can't do that!" Izuku protested.

"This is why you're still a Deku, nerd." Katsuki glared at him, "You don't have to literally kill them, dumbass. But if you don't use your powers to the fullest, then you can't be a Hero. You chose this power. You have to use it! Cuz if you just keep using your soul you're going to kill yourself, moron. Auntie Inko must have been livid."

"Yeah she was pretty mad when she read up on our fruits." Izuku replied meekly, trembling in place for a moment.

"Our?"

"Oh, yeah she didn't trust it and wanted to try it herself first. I gave her the Hana Hana no Mi!" Izuku replied excitedly.

"...Has she tried using her Quirk with it?" Katsuki asked, swallowing a little heavily.

"Yep! Her Quirk gets stronger the more arms she uses! She was even able to move a car!"

"Holy shit! Auntie is broken now!" Katsuki said in awe.

"What about you Kacchan? Do you want a fruit?" He asked curiously.

"Pfff, fuck no. I love swimming and my Quirk is already awesome. Nerd." Kastuki replied, turning his nose at the idea.

"What about a RAID suit?" Izuku asked, the idea popping into his head immediately.

Katsuki froze… "Oh fuck yes."

The two ran home, "Hi mom, bye mom!"

"Sup Auntie! Bye Auntie!"

Inko giggled to herself as the two boys sped into the house and into Izuku's room. Izuku ran over to the shelf and grabbed one of the volumes. He immediately opened it up and took a few seconds getting to the correct page. He reached in but held back a grin. "Here you go, Kacchan!"

"Thanks!" Katsuki didn't suspect a thing, "Now how do they activate these things again?"

"Push the button and hold it in front of you." Izuku replied, finally letting his grin out when it was too late to stop it, the white 0 on the black can in full display.

Katsuki was engulfed in light, his own clothes disappearing somehow. A pink light engulfed him, and like magic, cloth and armor started appearing on his body. When it was over, Katsuki was standing there, an angry vein pulsing like it was about to explode on his head… wearing a pink dress that just barely reached his knees (due to his age and height) with a split open top revealing his skinny chest. His hair had somehow been done up in Reiju's coiffed pattern. Completing the costume were the four purple butterfly wings behind him.

Izuku burst out laughing, almost crying at the sight. He fell to the floor and started rolling around in sheer hilarity.

"DEKU WHAT THE FUCK, YOU ASSHAT!"

"What's with all the swearing, KatSUKI?! Oh my!" Inko came into the room and clapped a hand to her mouth, stifling a snicker as she beheld Katsuki in all his… *ahem*... glory. "You look great, dear." She managed to get out, her face rapidly reddening as she struggled to keep it together.

"HOW THE FUCK DO I GET THIS SHIT OFF?!" He roared furiously,

"But Kacchan!" Izuku howled, "I thought you'd want your limbs uncovered because of your Quirk! All the other ones had sleeves and gloves!" He continued howling in laughter.

"DIE!" He lunged for his friend. In the end, Inko had to break them up. They did eventually get the suit off.

-]|[-

Time passed, and Izuku was now ten. His Quirk had changed his life, but it wasn't a one-time deal. It kept changing his life. He grew stronger, faster. He quickly started trying to learn Soru, and after a few weeks of practice in secret, he used it to defeat Katsuki for the very first time. It was the first time Izuku truly believed he could be more than just a sidekick. And then he had the shock of a lifetime when Katsuki managed to copy him, learning Soru to match his best friend in speed.

That was when they truly realized just how broken Izuku's Quirk was. Izuku being able to learn the technique made sense. It was his Quirk. But Katsuki learning it too? That had been entirely unexpected. So, they continued training, trying more and more things from the series, and their growth exploded. Katsuki's explosive Quirk almost became superfluous when both of them realized they could both use the Rokushiki. Explosion was no longer a great equalizer, and became just another tool in Katsuki's arsenal. And then they started learning Haki.

Their training grounds were never the same.

By the time he was eleven, the two were unrecognizable from the young boys who played Heroes. Haki especially had aided Katsuki, allowing him to put far more power into his Quirk without having to worry about damaging his arms.

His access to the series had given both him and Katsuki things they never would have been able to acquire without it. Izuku had started using Shusui as he wanted years ago, but quickly realized the sword didn't really fit him like a glove. He didn't even consider trying to touch Enma, knowing that Haki Vampire probably would kill him without Haki. Instead, he tried other weapons. Everything from Nami's Clima-Tact to Usopp's slingshots to the other fantastical weapons of the series.

In the end, he had settled on something entirely different. Roger's Ace fit his hand far better than Shusui or any of the katanas ever did. It was a golden cutlass with a large handle (large enough for both hands, even) and a saw-toothed hamon along the edge of the blade. However, it wasn't his only weapon. Yamato's Takeru fit him surprisingly well too. People likely would have cringed at the thought of dual wielding a cutlass and huge kanabō of all things, but Izuku made it work. Katsuki hadn't found any weapons he particularly liked, but loved his RAID suit once they started messing with it and getting it to fit him better. Being able to fly without having to waste his explosions was probably his favorite part.

It was in the spring semester before his eleventh birthday that Izuku had one of those ideas. Without really thinking about it, he ran home one day from school and ripped the Ope Ope no Mi from the Encyclopedia and, using Dr. Vegapunk's techniques, 'fed' it to Ace. With that, he'd be able to be the ultimate surgeon and cheat the system!

It didn't work. Or rather, it probably did. He did everything right. He followed Vegapunk's procedures exactly! But he'd been a dumbass and forgotten a crucial fact. The Ope Ope no Mi was not a Zoan. He couldn't even just put Ace back in to 'reset' it! He'd done an experiment long ago to see how his Quirk worked, by taking a less valuable item from the series like Nami's original Bō staff and breaking it. He put the broken staff back inside the pages, and according to the book, it was perfectly fixed. But when he tried pulling it out again, it came out exactly like it had gone in!

He'd WASTED such a valuable fruit like an idiot!

He sulked for weeks, right up until their vacation. He was eleven now, and they decided to take advantage of school being out to go have some fun traveling. They went to South America, starting in Brazil. It was a multi-country trip that lasted basically the entire school break. After Brazil, they spent some time in Argentina, and then Chile. They made their way north though Chile and then Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.

Their final stop on their trip was Venezuela, and it was as if fate itself had brought them there. Lake Maracaibo was the lightning capital of the world, and Izuku was mesmerized by the flashing night sky. He'd made Homies before with his Devil Fruit, but nothing like Big Mom's Special Homies.

That night in Venezuela, he changed that. When everyone had made their way into shelter, Izuku snuck out. With his Kenbunshoku, he felt pretty confident that he wouldn't get hit by any of it. He stood there, admiring the sights for a few minutes, before cupping his hands before him. He nearly went to his knees, having pulled a bigger portion of his soul than he ever had before. It hurt. But a large piece of soul floated in his hand, and he got to his feet. "Be born…" He whispered, holding his right hand to the sky, and allowing the soul ball to fly up. It entered the clouds and vanished, before a flash not unlike a heartbeat lit up the night.

Lightning started to arc, more and more, faster, and faster. The cacophony of a thousand thunderous BOOMS rang through the air, and then his mother realized he wasn't with Katsuki.

"IZUKU!" She screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET INSIDE!" She raced out, forgetting she could just grab him with her Hana Hana no Mi.

But Izuku merely continued to stare up, holding his hand to the sky. His mom tried to pull him in, but by now he was far too strong for his mom to do it. Not unless she used her Quirk with hundreds of arms.

And then a final flash lit the sky, revealing that the storm front had seemingly exhausted itself. The lightning stopped flashing. The thunder stopped booming. And Inko stopped trying to drag him away, "Midoriya Izuku!" She put her fists on her hips as Katsuki, Mitsuki, and Masaru raced out too, "What were you thinking?!"

Izuku smiled, "Be born…" He said again, making Katsuki's eyes widen.

"No way! Deku, did you-" He cut himself off, looking up as the sky started to brighten again.

Izuku finished his shout, "INDRA!" as a loud shriek rang through the air, and then the sound of galloping. An ethereal-looking beast was descending, one they all recognized that should not exist. It had the body of a horse, but it had icy blue skin that looked leathery. Hell, it looked scaly in some respects, and its mane, its tail, and all of its fur looked like literal lightning. Clouds drifted around its hooves, and its horn seemed to glow with an inner light, pulsing with energy.

"Hiya!" Indra landed, leaving behind a little field of electricity with every hoofprint. "Izuku!"

"Indra!" Izuku cheered, launching forward to hug the Kirin. It was WAY cooler than Big Mom's clouds!

"Izuku, what did you do?!" Inko asked in awe.

It was Katsuki who answered, grinning madly, "Finally made one, huh, Deku?"

Izuku grinned as he mounted Indra, "You remember my Homies, mom?"

"Oh no." Inko almost felt like crying. Whyhad she not read that damn Encyclopedia before Izuku ate that damn fruit?!

"Well, THIS is a permanent one!" he grinned, "Also…" His grin widened as his mom paled, "I CAN FLY TOO NOW, KACCHAN!" And then Indra took off with him, racing into the skies where lightning trailed it.

"Damn…" Katsuki smirked, "Okay Izuku, I'll give you this one. That was BADASS!"

"MIDORIYA IZUKU!" Inko shrieked, "GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT, YOUNG MAN!" Izuku couldn't quite hear her, too busy cackling amidst the lightning which could no longer hurt him.

-]|[-

"So, what the fuck were you pouting about for the last month and a half before our vacation, Deku?" Katsuki asked as they explored the Caracas. It was their final day in South America, and they were determined to enjoy it.

That instantly put Izuku in a sour mood again, "Damn it Kacchan, I had forgotten." He grumbled.

"Just spit it out already, dumbass!" Katsuki growled, "You've got a fucking Kirin now! You shouldn't be pouting for shit!" He definitely felt a little jealous about it. It was so cool! And everyone around them was either staring in awe at the beast trotting after them or giving them a wide berth.

"You'd be in a bad mood too if you wasted a really powerful and useful Devil Fruit!" Izuku snapped, "I fed the Ope Ope no Mi to Ace like an idiot! Now I can't give it to someone and it's useless!" Katsuki stopped and stared at Izuku in disbelief. And then he reached up and gave Izuku a Busōshoku-infusedsmack upside the head. Everyone around them twitched as a very tiny shockwave rippled out from the impact. "Ow! What the hell was that for, Kacchan?!"

"For being a fucking moron, Deku." He leered at him, "Fuck's sake, why do you get this Quirk?! You're too fucking dumb to use it!"

"The hell is that supposed to mean?!" Izuku asked indignantly.

"So, the fruit in the sword won't work because it has no conscience, right?" Katsuki asked, really hoping he wasn't going to have to brain his idiot best friend again.

"Yes?" Izuku still looked confused. "OW!"

"…You fucking-" Katsuki grabbed his head and forcibly turned it towards the Kirin. "WHAT'S TWO PLUS TWO, DUMBASS?!"

"FOUR!" Izuku yelped, "Why are you-" And then he stopped, staring at his new Kirin, who was smiling cheerfully. "Kacchan… you're a genius…"

Katsuki facepalmed as Izuku started cackling maniacally. And just turned and walked away when the lightning horse joined in.

-]|[-

"Hey mom, can we go to Hawaii for the holidays this year?" Izuku asked his mom eagerly.

"Hawaii?" Inko blinked, "Why Hawaii?"

"Oh, you know… reasons." Izuku said, shiftily. He even whistled.

"Sus." His mom deadpanned, having heard the term way too many times not to know it.

"Oh, come on!" Izuku pouted, "It'll be fun!"

"Okay." Inko agreed, "But only if you tell me why you want to visit there." She glared at him.

"…"

"…"

"Oh fine." Izuku huffed, "I'ma Homie a volcano!"

Inko facepalmed.

-]|[-

Time went on, and the two boys continued growing stronger. Izuku did indeed make his second Special Homie in Hawaii. He'd needed his Haki covering his entire body just so that he could get close enough to get to work. And that was after climbing up the volcano itself without asking Indra for help! The Homie he created resembled Yamato in shape, but her actual body was made of magma not unlike Te Kā from that old Disney movie Moana.

His Homies were so much cooler than Big Mom's!

Katsuki continued to grow as well. The more he could reinforce his arms, the bigger explosions he could create. His blasts started getting so big that the Quirk Training gyms they frequented could no longer give them access. So, they secluded themselves deep in the forests around Musutafu. Izuku had cut them a huge training ground where there was no one else that could accidentally get hurt while they trained.

And that was just what they did. By the time U.A.'s entrance exam rolled around five years after Izuku first made Indra, he and Katsuki were tied in every way that mattered. Both of them had spectacular grades, earning them the top spots in not only their grades but in the history of that "shitty middle school" (as noted by Katsuki). Izuku had caught up in power, and even surpassed Katsuki (much to the blonde's chagrin). By the day of graduation, Izuku had caught up to his best friend in wins for their spars. Slowly, of course. Katsuki never went down without a fight and still won often enough. But in the end, they both knew that Izuku had slowly started surpassing him.

That hadn't pissed him off as much as he thought it would. After all, it took every single advantage Izuku's broken Quirk afforded him just to catch up to his relatively simple explosive power.

In the end, when U.A.'s entrance exam rolled around, they were outright disappointed. Neither of them had any form of challenge whatsoever. Izuku had spent weeks psyching himself up and when it came down to it, the test had been all too simple even with the hidden bonus. They'd both made it in laughably easily, shattering every record the school had since its inception. And they'd damn well tied doing it too.

School itself had been almost…boring, much to their disbelief. They knew U.A. only accepted the best of the best, but they'd seriously overestimated what that actually meant. The only one who had the same level of training in their class was Todoroki Shōto, but even he had been unable to keep up with them. They'd been so overprepared for U.A. that they kind of floundered. They took to helping their fellow classmates instead, because pitting either of them against any set of the other 38 in both classes was just unfair. Aizawa had forced them to do so once during the Battle Trials in All Might's first class, even threatening expulsion if they didn't give it their all.

Poor Tōru hadn't gotten to do anything. Izuku had just ended it before his invisible teammate could even finish taking off her gloves, apologizing later for not giving her any opportunity to show off. The invisible girl had been flabbergasted, but was a good sport about it. Izuku and Katsuki then practically took over training outside of classes, slowly bringing them all up to a much more competent level. Some of them took to the Rokushiki like fish to water. Tsuyu in particular took to Fishman Judo and Karate like she had been born a Fishman herself. Izuku even handed out quite a few Devil Fruits as gifts to the classmates he grew closer to.

Their homeroom teacher had once hyped-up Togata Mirio as the one closest to taking All Might's place as the Number One Hero once the big man retired. When Izuku and Katsuki casually stomped the League of Villains and captured their ringleaders during their attack on the USJ, he realized that he could probably say the exact same thing about either of those two without it being hyperbole. It had been a sobering thought.

And it made him grin madly, imagining just what his class of hyper-competent monsters would do once they were out of his hair in a few years.

Many months later

Izuku ran through the pristine hospital at full speed. Everywhere he went, he was followed by various other Heroes and Heroes-in-training, who veered off whenever they spotted someone. Mandalay and Ragdoll were close, directing traffic and getting everyone they could out of there. The Devil Fruit he had provided to Ragdoll was proving a godsend, drastically speeding things up.

The second that a Hero identified anyone who wasn't the target, a door would open in midair and allow Heroes to either carry them out or they would send them on through. The entire hospital was being evacuated just in case.

Despite only being provisionally licensed due to his age, Izuku was unquestionably the leader of this mission. Not only had he been responsible for taking out Kurogiri and capturing Shigaraki at the USJ, but he had also gone on to defeatthe Hero Killer mere weeks later.

Stain had been a shocking opponent, and had somehow been able to get around his Kenbunshoku and get a cut on himthrough hisBusōshoku.Izuku had been stunned, but discovered he could break through the man's Bloodcurdle with his Haki. The shock of his Quirk being useless had slowed the man down, and Izuku had been victorious. He had later learned something which had put ice down his spine. Stain had his own Haki. It had been that moment that he truly understood just how dangerous his own Quirk was. It hadn't only been Katsuki and his own friends… anyone with strong enough will could stumble upon Haki. His Quirk had, in essence, increased the literal power scale of his own world.

It had been a sobering thought, and Izuku and his fellow students and teachers had redoubled their training, determined to stay ahead of villainy. By the time Izuku had gotten his Provisional License, he and Katsuki could have debuted well into the top ten. Izuku had gone on to defeat Overhaul singlehandedly weeks after that.

So, it was little wonder that he was trusted to lead this raid. The mission was simple: the capture of Garaki Kyūdai. Izuku had almost collapsed into hysterical peals of laughter when he first saw the face of Dr. Tsubasa staring at him from the target photo.

They all expected All For One to be at the Meta Liberation Army's headquarters, so even Endeavor and All Might had been pulled away from this operation. This was judged to be the safer mission, even if there was a risk of Nōmu appearing.

Of course, Izuku was a very apt leader in the case of Nōmu. He'd handled them before, after all. Finally, with few Heroes left accompanying him, he ran into his target. He grabbed his treasured blade, Ace, and Indra's face awakened on its guard, smiling eagerly. "ROOM!" The Kirin declared, activating the Devil Fruit fed to the Meitō.

Izuku flashed forward so fast he vanished from sight. An audible dicing noise sounded, and the old man's arms and legs simply fell off, though nothing bled. He screamed, not in pain, but in utter shock. The two nurses and doctors who were nearby all let out shouts of terror, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" One of them called, "HOW COULD YOU ATTACK AN INNOCENT OLD MAN?!"

But Izuku wasn't listening. His eyes were glowing green, "You." He eyed the terrified man who had managed to turn to face him, "You don't have a soul." He growled, kicking him in the face. The man immediately melted into a puddle of what looked like clay, and one of the nurses fainted. He turned to the shocked medical staff, "Evacuate immediately! Garaki Kyūdai is suspected of being in league with the League of Villains and at least one other Villain group. He's been seen with a Nōmu." He said, watching as the staff blanched in horror, before he raised his hand to his ear, "Ragdoll! I have four more on my position! Twice's quirk is at play! Garaki was a clone!"

"You got it, Nika!" Ragdoll cheered, before a large door appeared in the air. Man, he loved awakened Devil Fruits.

The staff hurried out as Izuku took off again. His Kenbunshoku Haki alerted him of danger, and he sheathed Ace. He reached behind his back, pulling out Takeru. He grunted as he swung it just as the wall shattered, revealing a mass of white Nōmu. "HAKAI!" He roared, swinging his weapon. Every single one of the enemy bioengineered weapons along with a hundred meters of the building all but evaporated from his might. He was glad that he could sense that everyone except the enemies had already been evacuated. He continued on, moving faster than he had been, until he came upon the hidden room that they'd identified. Izuku didn't skip a beat, tearing through the hidden blast doors and revealing an elevator. "I don't have time for this!" He roared, raising Takeru over his head. With a grunt, he blasted a hole straight through the floor and hopped down.

He fell for a few seconds, before he sensed that he was in the right place. He kicked behind himself with a loud TWACK, using Geppō to launch himself at the wall. With an almighty CRASH, he tore right through the meters of metal and concrete, annihilating everything in his path. He heard the sounds of glass shattering and liquid sloshing and the wet slaps of bodies hitting the floor. He landed amidst the rubble, swung his kanabō to his shoulder, and eyed the terrified doctor who had caused so many problems. "Garaki Kyūdai." Izuku said, taking a step forward, "You're under arrest."

Garaki swallowed, "Johnny! Get me out of her-" He yelled at a very tiny Nōmu: the same one that he'd been photographed with.

Izuku reacted immediately, placing his hand on Ace. His sword started to crackle with lightning, which transferred itself to his hand. "Gungnir!" he yelled, and a blindingly fast and bright bolt of lightning sprang forward, spearing the Nōmu and frying it instantly. "Now," Izuku said, stalking forward with his face as hard as stone, "I said you're under arrest."

"Oh, is he?" A new voice that made Izuku freeze rang through the air.

Garaki sighed in relief, "You're here, master."

Izuku's eyes hardened, "All For One." He hissed, his voice quietly furious. He blanked out the fearful voices that sounded from his headset, reaching up and disabling it.

"Midoriya Izuku. The legendary Soul Hero: Nika." All For One stepped forward out of the shadows, a lazy smile on his handsome face, "My, my, arrogance isn't a trait limited to just Heroes, but you pull it off better than anyone. Naming yourself after the God of Freedom himself! Not even that dolt All Might was ever so brazen as to waltz into my base while I was at the height of my power with no backup. And you're not even out of your first year at U.A. too."

"You were supposed to be at the Meta Liberation Army's headquarters." Izuku bantered with the man, not feeling a lick of fear for the underground's boogeyman. He looked far different than he had the last time Izuku had seen him. The evil man had destroyed several blocks of Kamino Ward even before his fight with All Might had begun, and had appeared on TV. He had been wearing a black, skull-like mask and breathing apparatus; necessary equipment to keep him alive after the mess All Might had made of him during their first fight. Once that had broken, it had revealed a scarred visage that was less face and more potato. The coward had fled with his Warp Quirk to an unknown location, once All Might revealed that 'the Heroes' Battle Station was indeed operational.' AKA, All Might was back to full power and beyond, thanks to Izuku's gift of the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix.

This was not the same face he'd seen on TV. Long white hair… a face that would have been far more handsome if it hadn't been marred by the malicious, superior sneer on his lips… steel gray eyes…

All For One, like his blonde rival, was fully healed. "Ah," he chuckled, "Well, I suppose that makes sense. Not that they'll have much of an easiertime there, of course." He calmly took a seat on what could have been a throne, "Of course, you won't have time to worry about them. You've brought your Quirk and strong body straight to me. I thank you for saving me the trouble, boy. You'll make an excellent Nōmu."

Garaki chuckled maliciously, "I can hardly wait."

Izuku slowly smirked, locking eyes with the old man, "You can't, huh? That's strange, doctor. You could have had my Quirk years ago, after all."

"What the devil are you talking about?!" Garaki barked, immediately nervous. If he had allowed such a strong Quirk slip by him, there could be… punishment.

"Oh, don't act so coy…" Izuku's smirk widened, "Doctor Tsubasa." The old man blanched, "That was the name you were using when you diagnosed me as Quirkless, wasn't it? What was it you told me again? Ah, yes! That I should, 'Give it up.' That '[My] Quirk [could be] every bit the Heroic Quirk, but [had] such ludicrously specific activation conditions that [I] likely [wouldn't] ever discover it.' Sound familiar, Doctor?"

All For One started to chuckle as he took in the trembling of his left hand, "My, you're enjoying this, young Hero. Do stop tormenting my dear doctor. He's quite old, you know. His heart may give out." Despite his words, Izuku could sense his emotions. The revelation had pissed him off.

"Oh, it'll be fine." Izuku waved him off, "Tartarus has excellent medical facilities, I'm told. You'll need them."

"AHAHAHAHA!' All For One laughed in genuine amusement, "Then come at me, young Hero! Prove you're not just hot air!"

"Gladly!" Izuku blitzed forward, but had to abort his attack as numerous Nōmu burst from their tubes and attacked. "Tch! Hiding behind these things, All For One? Coward!"

His kanabō started to glow molten as Pele awakened and left her home. By his side, Indra did the same, revealing his two greatest powers. Indra had grown far larger than he had been when Izuku had first made him. The majestic, ethereal-looking beast was glowing with electrical power. In contrast, Pele looked like anthropomorphic lava. She was huge at 2.63m, and had a blindingly bright inner body that looked more like plasma than molten rock, while 'cooled' magma crusted over her arms, legs, and parts of her body. She had a pair of horns coming out from between her hair, which was simply fire licking down her back, spewing smoke above her. Her mouth and eyes were simply bright lights on her molten face.

Izuku grinned as he grabbed onto the molten Pele, her grinning face melting as she turned into a ball of lava, "Dai Funka!" He yelled, and Pele erupted as he thrust her forward. Lava surged, hitting the Nōmu and setting them on fire. It splattered on the ground and continued to surge, though it was under Izuku's complete control. Every Nōmu it touched burned.

"No! STOP!" Garaki yelled as Izuku started targeting the containers which hadn't burst open, "ALL MY WORK!" He panicked as Izuku began destroying everything around them and all of Garaki's research.

All For One snarled as he hadn't reacted quickly enough, "Enough!" He snapped sharply… before his eyes blazed red and his silvery hair rose up and out of the way.

The magma immediately stopped flowing as Erasuretook effect. Izuku glared hatefully at All For One, "So, you did keep it for yourself." He spat at the man.

"Ahahaha! Of course! Such a splendid Quirk hardly belonged in any hands but my own. And what a marvel it is, when combined with a Quirk that keeps my eyes from ever drying out. I could hold this indefinitely!"

Izuku stared him down as he spoke, before he smiled nastily, "Good for you." And magma surged once more, erupting, and bubbling and spraying everything in sight.

"WHAT?!" All For One finally stood from his throne, "STOP!" He raised his arm, an air cannon far more powerful than anything he had launched at All Might in Kamino bursting from his hand.

Izuku immediately cut his technique off and grabbed Takeru, "HAKAI!" He yelled again, this time blackening his weapon with Busōshoku. The blast of air that erupted from the kanabō was far more cataclysmic than the one it met. An explosion of air blasted everything in the room, shattering test tubes and completely destroying every Nōmu that was not at an adequate stage of completion. The roof caved in, throwing thousands of pounds of concrete down at them. Garaki screamed in terror as he was shielded by All For One with a frantic use of Barrier, stolen from the Shie Hassaikai after they were all arrested.

Above them the roof blew off of the hospital, throwing rubble around the evacuated town. The Heroes didn't dare approach. Not after having confirmed that Izuku was fighting All For One. They had already sent out a distress signal to the other team, but they had their hands full with not only a freed Shigaraki (whose damned Quirk had EVOLVED!), but some strange creature that was even bigger than Mount Lady and was tanking All Might's blows. The students, sidekicks, and pros that made up this team could do nothing more than aid in the evacuation.

As the smoke started to clear down below, Pele wormed her way into the rubble, melting it all and consuming it wholesale.

All For One was growling in fury, "Congratulations Midoriya," He clenched his fists, "You've officially taken All Might's spot as number one on my list." He grabbed his arm which had broken from an unexpected impact, and it blipped before fixing itself. The man had stolen Overhaul as well. No wonder he was able to fix himself over the past few months. "How is it possible that you've continued using your Quirk while I was erasing it?!" His teeth were almost cracking from how hard he clenched his jaw. All their work. All their work.

Izuku smirked, "Fuck you, that's how!"

"Tsk." All For One clicked his teeth, before relaxing and regaining his evil poise. His smirk was nasty, "Fair enough. This three on one however… Hardly fair, don't you think? Why don't I even the odds?" Garaki vanished in a black puddle of goo as beside him, two more puddles of black goo started splattering, revealing two new Nōmu. They were black, and they were definitely High Ends. One was as much of a muscle monster as the original Nōmu from all those months ago at the USJ. The other?

Izuku felt a surge of horror as he took it in. It was tall, spindly, and taking a very familiar crouching pose. "Mi…do…ri…ya…" Its voice grinded in Izuku's ears.

"Ahahahaha!" All For One started to laugh, "Ah, I see you recognize this Nōmu." A myriad of eyes opened up on its flesh, and every single one of them looked directly at Izuku. "Yes, say hello to your old teacher, Midoriya. His body made prime material." Izuku's face was shadowed, his mouth downturned, and his hands held limply beside him. "Erasure may not be useful against you, but it still has more than enough tricks up its sleeves. Go!" He commanded.

The two Nōmu surged forward, the smaller one making much faster time towards Izuku. Its body began to unravel, appearing much like multiple snakes of his old teacher's capture scarf. It was designed to capture and mummify him in inescapable threads.

But they just phased through Izuku's body, the Nōmu howling in shock as its limbs fell off. It hadn't even been able to react before Izuku was behind it. It started to regenerate as Izuku walked away from it and stabbed the charging muscle Nōmu with the Busōshoku-clad Ace, "Surge." Indra had merged back with the blade, and green lightning engulfed the Nōmu. Every single cell in its body lysed, and it crumbled, dead.

"What?!" All For One gasped again, "I made that one to absorb elemental attacks! How could it have been electrocuted?!" It was simple. That was an Ope Ope technique, not a normal lightning attack.

Izuku turned around, catching the remaining Nōmu by the neck as it tried to wrap him up. It kind of succeeded, but Izuku effortlessly held it at bay, his arms and torso blackened with Busōshoku as he blasted it with Haōshoku. All For One staggered, before using his own Haōshoku to try to beat it back. This wasn't the first time Izuku had encountered an enemy that possessed the King's Will, but it was the first time he fought an enemy with a semblance of an idea of how to control it. However, it was still an exercise in futility.

All For One's Haōshoku suffered from the same issues that kept him from being able to steal One For All. He'd always been the strongest around because of his ability to take others' abilities. All For One was lazy. One might even say placid and lacking in determination. The only reason he even had Haōshoku was his desire to dominate all Quirks and be the undisputed dark emperor of the world. That just wasn't enough. He had never struggled. Never had to truly face a near-peer who could truly match him. Never grown. And so, he had maxed out with just regular old Haōshoku, despite knowing there was more that could be done with it.

Izuku through training with All Might and all the struggles from when he was young, had grown past every limit he'd had. Izuku's presence was terrifying, and it wasn't even directed at him. It was focused directly on the Nōmu.

Like every other sentient Nōmu, it now felt something it never had before. Fear. "It's alright sensei." Izuku whispered, his voice sorrowful but his eyes blazing with rage, "You can rest now." He ripped all of the souls inside of it away, though he did not absorb them. He didn't want to risk absorbing his sensei's soul as well. He let them dissipate harmlessly.

For the first time, All For One felt uneasy as Izuku turned to him. All For One immediately used a Quirk he'd acquired just for this occasion: Fear Negation. Never let it be said he did not thoroughly prepare for every possible eventuality. But even with that Quirk active, something about Izuku's face made him contemplate simply warping out to prepare better for next time.

Izuku grabbed Takeru, before his voice rang through the destroyed lab like an avalanche. "ALL FOR ONE!" He roared, leaping above with black lightning crackling around the molten kanabō.

"Shock Negation times five, Elemental Absorptiontimes ten, Barrier, Quirk Reinforcement." All For One quickly recited as his entire body blackened, but ran out of time as Izuku fell towards him. It would have to be enough.

"Kōsanze" Izuku roared as he swung, "Ragunaraku!"

Izuku's kanabō shattered the barrier as if it wasn't even there. Five Shock Negation Quirks, ten Elemental Absorption Quirks,and a Busōshokucoating failed instantly. Izuku crushed All For One into his throne, creating an earthquake that shook the surrounding city. It was more akin to a volcanic eruption as the destroyed hospital exploded.

Everything in a half-kilometer radius simply collapsed, melting as pyroclasts burst from the ground in massive eruptions. The whole city shook from Izuku's strength. It was only Nezu's timely intervention and widening of the evacuation zone that had saved everyone. The Heroes had contacted the diminutive principal immediately once All For One was confirmed to be on site, and had even overachieved in following his orders.

When the smoke cleared, a massive crater was burning where the evacuated hospital once stood. At the center, Izuku stood above his enemy. The man was blackened, his flesh cracked and barely healing from hyper regeneration. And he still was struggling. Izuku raised Takeru once more, ready to end it with another swing. "NO!" All For One bellowed as a massive air cannon erupted from his right hand, ripping into the ground, and creating a blast wave that knocked Izuku back.

The evil man staggered to his feet, pressing his hands to himself, and sighing in relief as he blipped, returning to full health. "What the hell are you?!" He hissed at Izuku as the much younger man glared back. He started using his Warp Quirk to escape, only Izuku immediately snapped a hand into his pocket and squeezed something. "GAHHHHHH!" All For One screamed, falling to his knees and clutching his chest. Warp disengaged immediately, and the pain ended.

"What's the matter, All For One? Leaving so soon?" Izuku snarled, covered in soot, and sweat. He pulled out something that made All For One's stomach drop. A beating heart, encased in a translucent cube. All For One's heart. Surreptitiously stolen from him just in case during the battle by Indra. "Oh, don't worry. This is just insurance in case you try to escape." Izuku said, putting the pulsing organ back inside his pocket. "I want to beat you to death with my own fucking hands." Izuku snarled, far beyond rage at the moment for what had been done to Aizawa.

All For One immediately went into panic mode. Hundreds of black Warp puddles started to appear next to him, disgorging first Shigaraki himself and then an absolutely massive behemoth named Gigantomachia. The entirety of the Meta Liberation Army, the remaining Vanguard Assault Squad, and the remnants of the Shie Hassaikai appeared before Izuku. Every single remaining Nōmu also appeared. All For One snarled at the Hero, "What now, Midoriya Izuku?! You can't face all of us at once!" He didn't even notice the rest of his forces taking in his fear. He had called his entire army for ONE Hero?

Izuku chuffed, quirking a grin, "Yeah, you're right." He drew Ace and turned around, before slicing once vertically and once horizontally. Two giant, glowing purple lines appeared in midair, revealing Indra's last secret. The very first time Izuku had fully ripped a soul out of someone with his Soul Pocus had been Kurogiri's. Though soul was a bit of a misnomer. It had been more of a hodgepodge of screaming souls held together via duct tape for all intents and purposes. The rest of his classmates and Thirteen had been horrified that he had killed someone, up until a pale and shaking Izuku had explained that the thing confronting them had already been dead.

But more than that horrifying discovery, they had discovered that that particular Nōmu was weird among all the ones they had encountered since. Almost its entire body was made of clouds. They had thought it was smog when they first saw it, but it wasn't. They were clouds. They wouldn't have been out of place in any storm cell. And that meant that Indra could eat them. His Kirin had consumed its body and souls after Izuku had ripped them out, and they quickly discovered that doing that had brought along Kurogiri's abilities with it.

The two thin, purple slices in the air violently opened, revealing a shimmering purple void in the air. A massive matchingWarp Gate opened at the Meta Liberation Army's headquarters, and immediately a bright beam of light erupted towards it.

"WHERE WERE WE, COWARD?!" Miruko formed back into herself from the beam of light as she came out the other end of the gate, her legs glowing brightly with the Pika Pika no Mi as she jackhammered into Gigantomachia, knocking its Busōshoku-clad body back nearly a hundred meters. "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!"

Heroes erupted from the Warp Gate in droves, led by All Might himself. Class 1-A followed, with Katsuki landing next to him, "Why do you get all the fucking fun, Deku!?"

Momo realized Izuku was extremely angry, "What's the matter, Nika?"

"These sons of bitches turned Sensei into a Nōmu." 1-A went from calm and determined to boilingin rage. Instantly. Izuku snarled, "You lot can have the rest of them, All For One is MINE!" He dashed forward, cracking the ground beneath him. Indra left its home once more, and the Kirin floated on its darkening clouds. Its body was engulfed by an expanding black cloud leaving only its head and hooves visible as it neighed and charged in front of him. Izuku hopped onto his Homie's back as it galloped into the sky.

"LIKE HELL HE IS!"

The Heroes charged. Bakugō exploded violently from his position, racing past even Izuku. Mei and Melissa had turned his RAID suit into a SPEED demon, enhancing his mobility to extreme degrees and allowing him to use his power for just that, POWER. Geten from the Meta Liberation Army charged in front, using a gifted Hydrokinesis Quirk along with his natural Ice Manipulation Quirk to form a gigantic white tiger of ice. The creation roared, charging at the Heroes.

"FUCKING DIEEEEEEEEE!" Katsuki roared, fist covered in Busōshoku and crackling with explosions. The one that he actually unleashed (with most of the Heroes still behind him and out of range) was like a MOAB going off. The tiger was annihilated instantly, not even getting a chance to melt.

Shōto Todoroki used Soru to get in close with Dabi, flash freezing the man instantly. Dabi quickly ignited, melting the ice around him with his blue fire. "Gotta say…," He smirked, showing all his teeth, "loving these new powers sensei showed us!" His body blackened, allowing him to max out his Quirk. Shōto matched him, "But I wonder, Todoroki! You came right for me! You must have a reason for that, yeah?!" He cackled insanely.

Shōto's teeth ground in his jaw, "I don't give a damn that you were my brother or that you tried to hurt our shitty old man." His own flames turned blue, while his ice blackened and became even colder and harder, "But you tried to hurt Fuyumi." He punched forward, a giant fist made of black ice speeding towards his elder brother, who met it with a fist of blue flames of his own. An explosion erupted between them.

Near the edges, Himiko was pouting. "Awwww, how am I supposed to reach Izu-chan up there?" Himiko whined, before bending backwards and avoiding a flying fist from Setsuna. "Oh, you're a cutie!" She said, smiling wildly, "Sorry, I'd just eat you up, but I'm saving myself for Izu-chan." She whipped out a knife and blackened it with Busōshoku, before stabbing Setsuna. The girl broke into a hundred pieces, avoiding the blade.

Setsuna grinned, "You'll be waiting for a long time then, girlie." She started to sink into the ground before a giant stone version of herself rose out of the earth. And then the arms detached from the body.

"…Oh, that's just not fair." Himiko whined, before beginning to dodge way too rapidly for the massive stone arms to hit her. She then got splashed in the face with black. "Ack! What is that?!" She screamed, spitting wildly while rubbing her eyes. Her natural grace didn't vanish as she continued to dodge even with her eyes closed.

"Ink." Yui said, blandly, twirling a gigantic paint brush in her hands. She rapidly drew a dozen gigantic snakes, "Go get her." The inky black snakes hissed in agreement as they came to life, slithering rapidly towards Himiko.

"SNAKES!" Himiko screamed shrilly, turning around, and running, "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SNAKES?! EWEWEWEWEW! GET AWAY!"

But the snakes were just a distraction. Yui had simply used her awakened Quirk to shrink the distance between one location and the next, appearing to move at ultra-high speed. She appeared in front of Himiko, who gasped and had to choose between Yui and the snakes. She chose Yui, and tried to knife her.

Yui's expression didn't change as she dragged her paintbrush on the dirt, using her Quirk to make a gigantic splash of ink. "Tsunami." A gigantic, expertly drawn tidal wave appeared in front of her.

"…Mistakes were made." Himiko said, before the wave of drawn water crashed into her, crushing her beneath.

Elsewhere, All Might was grinning, his body recovering from the latest attack on it. Truly, the Phoenix Model of the Tori Tori no Mi was the most broken Devil Fruit young Midoriya could have given him. It allowed him to heal his wounds from his first battle with All For One, and gave him intangibility and the ability to heal others as well! Recovery Girl had practically burst into tears the first time he helped her in the infirmary. Now if only this damned beast of All For One's wasn't so damned tough.

"Luna Lanza!" Miruko cried out from behind the beast, driving it forward towards him.

He raced towards Gigantomachia, "DETROIT SMASH!" He roared, his arm blacked and crackling with the black lightning of Haōshoku, before he plowed into the beast. Again, the beast's flesh distended from the impact, and it howled in agony.

But it just would not. Stay. Down! "I WILL DEFEND THE MASTERS!" Gigantomachia cried out, rapidly regenerating the internal damage. It laughed off Endeavor's black fire, growing even larger.

Miruko popped up next to him, "Okay I love the punching bag, but this is getting annoying." She snarled.

"Ha! Yes, this creature is quite annoying. It's not even a good conversationalist." All Might chuckled beside her, before glancing off to the side, "Miruko, go help them." He pointed, "It looks like they're struggling with Muscular and Shigaraki. Your beams are best suited for that lost young man."

"Tch, you're lucky I like you, Number One." Rumi raced off.

Beside All Might, Nejire was floating upside down, "Jeez, that's totally not fair. It's so strong." She pouted, "Nejire Wave, 100%!" She yelled, her arms black with Busōshoku as well. Of the Big Three, she and Mirio were about tied with their skill with it, while Tamaki had good control but not quite as good. Her energy waves were much more compressed and sprang forwards, drilling into Gigantomachia.

"Ahahaha! A good attempt, young Nejire!" All Might praised her as Gigantomachia regenerated.

"Pardon me, I'm just gonna go ahead and cause a giganto problem." Mirio laughed as he launched out of the ground and slipped into the behemoth.

"That was terrible, Mirio-kun." Nejire giggled as the blonde disappeared.

"GRAHHHHHH!" Gigantomachia thrashed as Mirio displayed his insane level of improvement with his Quirk, flashing in and out of intangibility directed by his fledgling Future Sight and keeping his Quirk from naturally ejecting him out. And he was having a party inside the behemoth's body, trying to overwhelm and exhaust the Hyper Regeneration. But it was no use, and he eventually allowed himself to eject out.

"Man, that's some regeneration…" He panted, his body looking like a humanoid Smilodon. He had three sets of gigantic teeth; one in his mouth where they belonged, and another pair in each hand.

"Eww, Mirio-kun, can you stop pulling your teeth out?" Nejire grimaced.

"It's how sabretooths hunted in ancient times, Nejire-chan!" Mirio let out a cackle, as even Nejire facepalmed. All Might was laughing like the dork that he was, the air churning around his fist as he knocked the monster flat on its back, shaking the landscape. And then it started to rain, "Ehh! Aww, I'm going to smell like a wet cat!" The skies were darkening, and black clouds were filling the air. It wasn't only Izuku's doing with Indra. Shōto's battle with Dabi was also throwing vast quantities of steam into the air, and Katsuki's with Geten was as well.

"Izuku-kun is wilding out!~" Nejire replied cheerfully, brushing her bangs back as she turned to look over at the other battles. Izuku had dragged All For One away, and the two had already created another crater away from the main battle. A cataclysmic storm of crackling lightning and spewing lava was erupting from the fight. His Kazan Taifū ultimate move was scary. This poor city was going to be completely annihilated by the time this was over. She frowned, and refocused on Gigantomachia as Ochako arrived, floating next to her on an earthen platform.

"Jeez, this is getting crazy. This thing is way stronger than any Nōmu before it!" The bubbly brunette complained. "Get out of the way! Incoming!" She yelled, raising her arm into the air. Concentric purple rings shot out, phasing through the clouds. Nejire grinned madly as she watched her kouhai.

The clouds burst open, revealing a thirty-meter-wide meteor racing right for Gigantomachia. The impact caused yet another earthquake to rock through the city, and still the beast got up, "What the heck is that thing made of?!" Ochako blurted in shock.

Machia got up, having grown even larger once again. "RAHHHHHHHH!" Its roar was like a sonic attack, blowing Ochako off her floating rock.

"Shit!" She cried out, righting herself in the air and landing somewhat roughly, "Grrrr!" She growled, rushing forward at her fastest speed, "Mōryū!" She yelled, her hands clawed and glowing purple. She thrust it forward and the behemoth's chest distended in the shape of a dragon's talon before the talons pierced its skin and tore open its body. Blood rained down as the gravitational attack heinously damaged their foe, but its Hyper Regeneration was still going strong.

Nejire grabbed her and flew away as Machia's shoulders opened up, revealing what appeared to be slots like on a missile launcher. Bright blazes of fire chased after them before the monster cut them off to punch at All Might.

"What is happening over there?!" Ochako cried, looking out at the site of Izuku's battle with All For One. She could see Indra raining lightning down and plumes of black-lightning-accompanied lava erupting every few seconds. Air cannons all but vaporized buildings, and she could see some fleshy monstrosity pulsing with what looked like black liver spots looking like an ill-put-together Gigantomachia launching Quirks every which way. "Oh, COME ON! HE STOLE OVERHAUL?!" That part of the city was just gone. It looked like a nightmare come to life.

Nejire hissed as she put her kouhai down, "I hope Eri-chan isn't watching this…"

"MIDORIYA IZUKU!" They heard All For One's distorted voice erupting in rage even from here.

They needed to finish this. "All Might, Lemillion, Nejire-chan!" Ochako cried out, "Distract it!"

"You got it!" The three raced at the beast as Ochako clapped her hands together. She needed all of her focus for this. She slapped them into the ground, and pulsed her Devil Fruit empowered Quirk through it. Her fruit had eliminated all of her weaknesses with her original power. And she was about to prove it right now. An old manga had made her stronger, so she had started reading them as well, finding other cool ancient stories. And though in the end, she hadn't liked this one quite as much due to the mediocre second half, it still gave her an idea for an ultimate move. She stood, and once more raced forward. She tagged Gigantomachia before kicking off of it. "Get clear!" She yelled, backing away, and allowing Nejire to grab her once more. "CHIBAKU TENSEI!" She yelled, and the earth cracked.

Gigantic mounds of rock shattered and started aiming directly at Gigantomachia. As the stone and dirt and shattered bits of concrete started pounding into the beast like its body was a magnet, it thrashed and tried to throw her attack off. It was futile. More and more rock crushed its body, until what looked like a small planetoid floated in the air before them. "Excellent work, Uravity!" All Might cried out, grinning madly as the massive sphere cracked and resealed itself and warped from the beast trying to escape its prison. All Might raced forward and placed his hands on it, "I will take it from here!" Blue flames exploded as he turned into his full phoenix form, and began to push, "NORTH AMERICA SMASH!" He roared, and gave the ball a mighty heave. It started flying off into the atmosphere, pushed onwards by the Number One Hero and one of the most promising heroines around. Finally, All Might managed to get it out of the atmosphere, huffing and racing back down towards breathable air. The small asteroid left the planet and flew off into space.

Uraraka had a violent nosebleed as she released her powers, passing out on Nejire's shoulder. "You did good, kouhai!" Nejire tenderly brushed her hair, racing her away from the action.

…

Miruko had raced off towards Shigaraki, catapulting herself towards the Decaying bastard. The man-child's Kenbunshoku wasn't up to the task as her speed was far too overwhelming. Plus, he looked a little crispy. Looks like Midoriya-chan had already fried him a couple times. "LUNA ERUPTION!" She appeared beneath him, her leg already swinging. The lightspeed foot connected with Shigaraki's jaw, fracturing it instantly as the Villain shot into the air so violently he broke the sound barrier. Hyper Regeneration went to work fixing him, but he was out of the fight for now. Just to be sure, she held her arms out and her hands started glowing with light. She clapped her wrists aimed at him, "Luna Flash!" A beam of light shot out of her hands, engulfing the wannabe "Symbol of Anarchy," and beginning to sear every inch of him.

"That's our leader. Kindly cease and desist." A new voice rang out.

Miruko had a premonition in her mind, of a hand touching her and then nothingness. She cut off her attack and appeared in a totally different area so quickly she appeared to have teleported. "Mr. Compress." She smirked, "Sorry, not turning me into one of those nice marbles today."

"Oh, we'll have to see." Mr. Compress smirked behind his mask. He had just wanted to get her to stop attacking Shigaraki. "Though you'll excuse me if I'm not too interested in fighting you of all heroes. So, I brought you a present." He tossed a marble at her, before running the hell away.

"Get back here, coward!" Miruko called, before noticing the marble.

"FUCK YES! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!" Muscular with maximum Quirk usage (his muscles were covering him head to toe) popped out of the marble with glee on his face. "LET'S KILL EACH OTHER!" Each strand of muscle was black with Busōshoku.

Miruko grinned madly as her leg turned into light. "LET'S!" She flashed over, her leg meeting his fist hard enough to unleash a massive shockwave that blew hundreds of nearby fighters away. She rapidly hopped back, "Shock Absorption? Laaaaame."

"What was that?!" Muscular roared, smile gone, "I couldn't even feel that! I thought you were supposed to be strong! Don't disappoint me, Miruko!"

"Didn't feel it?" Miruko's legs blackened and started crackling with Haōshoku's black lightning. She really needed to do something special for Midoriya-chan, "Guess I'll have to try HARDER!" She vanished, hitting her next target with her Luna Eruption. Again, her foe laughed in the air, hacking, and coughing from the absolutely devastating blow to his sternum even through all his muscular armor.

She appeared above him in a flash of absurd speed, before she started somersaulting down towards him, "Luna Arc!" Her axe kick broke his nose and knocked several teeth out as well as he sped towards the ground. Again, she flashed, appearing beneath him and roundhouse kicked him as he passed by her, sending him flying. Again and again, she used her lightspeed to get ahead of him and hit him with crushing blow after crushing blow. Every single hit was accompanied by a fork of black lightning. "WHAT'S WRONG, MUSCULAR?! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO FIGHT?! WHERE'S THAT SPIRIT NOW?!"

Finally, she kicked him towards the ground. His impact cracked the earth and had the two halves of stone rise upwards and seal him in a gigantic coffin. "Luna Barrage!" She spat on the falling stones, "What a waste of hope. I guess Midoriya-chan and All Might are the only ones who can get me going nowadays."

She flashed into light and vanished. Mr. Compress twitched as he was running, his Future Sight having him whirl around and extend his hand. Miruko appeared, her face inches from making contact with his hand. Her red eyes flashed, and her head simply vanished as she practically phased through him. Multiple shockwaves erupted from his back, his mask falling off and blood flying from his lips from the blow. He flew back and she rematerialized facing his back. She buried her knee in his spine, folding him in half very much in the wrong direction. She let him fall down, knowing he was out of the fight and flashed again.

Shigaraki had spent quite some time in the air and had finally hit the ground, ready to go hunt that rabbit bitch who had kicked his teeth in. She appeared above him, a smirk on her face, "Luna Meteors!" As beams of light started raining down on the multi-quirked super Villain, he wondered if perhaps they shouldn't have tried to kill the stupid lightspeed bunny when she wasn't expecting it.

…

No one dared approach the fight between the legendary Quirk thief and the one most people knew would be the future Number One Hero. It was insanity even to just watch it. All For One had managed to heal himself before Izuku dragged him away. Shigaraki had tried to get in the way, but had been nailed with a Gungnir for his trouble. For the one who considered himself 'player one,' Izuku had dealt the greatest insult he possibly could; he'd all but ignored him and left him to face the 'NPCs.'

Moron.

Shigaraki's enhanced Quirk and bodily modifications by All For One and the doctor (which went FAR faster and more simply with Overhaul) were quite powerful, but Izuku trusted his friends and coworkers. Plus, he did nail him with a couple huge lightning blasts fighting All For One.

All For One was currently glaring at him hatefully, "Oh yes…" He hissed, "You've taken quite a bit from me. Perhaps after I am finished with you, I'll pay your mother a visit." He said, begging Izuku to run at him as he activated every Kenbunshoku-enhanced reflex and speed Quirk he had. He'd needed to retool himself nearly completely after facing All Might in Kamino. That was why he'd captured Chisaki and stolen Overhaul, and why he'd stolen Stress from Rikiya. And boy, were those dark spots pulsing on his flesh at that moment.

Izuku's glare sharpened, "You're trying to egg me on." He realized, putting his kanabō on his back. He reached for Ace instead, "Too bad for you. I don't have to worry about that because you're not leaving here alive."

All For One chuckled darkly, a vein pulsing on his forehead, "Oh? What's this?! A Hero contemplating murder?"

"You'd simply break out of any prison we put you in." Izuku replied flatly, "Don't tell me you were expecting an easy win because I wouldn't fight to put you down. What do I look like? Clark Kent? I'm not so much of a self-sacrificing idiot to think anyone could put you down while holding back. All Might broke your face and you still survived to be a nuisance years later. Every single Hero in this operation was given carte blanche for lethal force against you if we had an opportunity." Ace blackened, "Your reign is over, All For One!" He launched forward, Acecrackling with Haōshoku as he slashed.

"Tch." All For One clicked his teeth. Oh, how he hated Heroes with brains rattling inside normally empty skulls. He dodged out of the way, before his own arm was covered in Busōshoku and launched itself out at Izuku, growing many times its normal length. As a new canyon was carved in the stone beneath their feet, Izuku backflipped back onto Indra, rising into the sky. "Coward!" All For One tried to goad Izuku.

The verdette scoffed, "Oh please, you uncreative, two-bit hack of a Villain." All For One snarled at the insult, "You already showed off Overhaul. Do you expect me to just let you touch me?" Izuku was again leading All For One around by the nose. He was already well aware Overhaul wouldn't work against his Haki. That said, there was something to be said about Busōshoku empowering the effect, since Chisaki hadn't possessed it. He would do well to be wary of being touched.

All For One's arm snapped back, "Fine then. Cremation!" A copied version of Dabi's Quirk appeared in his left hand, "Air Cannon times ten! Fusion!" A tornado of blue flames started swirling around his limb. He thrust it forward, allowing it to explode towards Izuku in a massive conflagration.

"What are you up to?" Izuku asked himself as he called for Pele. She melted down his front and formed into his loyal Homie. She opened her mouth, swallowing the oncoming flames and turning even brighter. Even her color turned blue. Suddenly, Izuku went completely stiff and incapable of moving.

All For One chuckled, "Shadow Binding." He smirked at Izuku, his shadow connected to his opponent's, "And now… Shadow Stitching." The shadows themselves looked inky black, and large threads appeared. They pierced Izuku's own shadow, and blood spurted from various areas on his flesh. All in vital areas, despite Izuku's Busōshoku hardening. "I'll have my heart back, Midoriya." The shadows raced upwards like tentacles, one wrapping around Izuku's throat and the other slipping into the pocket he'd seen Izuku stash his heart in. Only it wasn't there! In fact, he couldn't feel anything! It was as if the pocket was positively gigantic! "What?! Where is it! I saw you put it there!" He started to choke Izuku hard, "WHERE IS IT!"

"Sunburst!" Izuku managed to cry out, and Pele started to shine like the sun! The shadows melted away, practically evaporating from the light. 'Thank you, Poke Poke no Mi.' Being able to feed fruits to inanimate objects was a godsend. And luckily, this one was given to an item that it worked with even without a mind to control it. Clothes already had pockets, after all. It just made them bigger.

All For One staggered as the connection was cut, growling out. "Ghost Limbs. Gigantification. Quirk Enhancement times ten!" A massive, ethereal hand appeared above Izuku, mirroring the Villain's palm. All For One swatted down, and the titanic palm crashed into Izuku and put an absurd, palm-shaped crater into the ground. All For One's hands shot out, not towards Izuku, but towards the other fighters. He grabbed onto one of the High End Nōmu as well as the downed Muscular. The two exploded, merging with the arms and returning to All For One. "Pump up, Stress 100%, Gigantification, Air Cannon!" The man grew to an absolutely monstrous size, shadowy muscles rippling across his frame.

All For One launched himself at Izuku, his fist closed. Izuku broke himself out of the ground with a roar, throwing off the giant hand. He avoided the man's attack by launching himself into the sky, watching as All For One's attack carved a huge trench into the earth again. "Kazan Taifū!" Izuku roared as his two homies fused beneath him. He landed on them as the clouds rapidly blackened. Lightning started to rain down, accompanied by molten meteors. It was hell on earth. His lightning fried Villain after Villain as All For One defended himself with a barrier. Finally, it ended as he expended the clouds, and he launched himself at All For One, his arm crackling with Busōshoku and Haōshoku. All For One met him with a massive punch of his own. The projection kept his fist from touching All For One's, and another cataclysmic explosion shattered everything and everyone too close to it, launching them flying. The crater beneath them was two hundred meters across.

They started falling to the ground, but Izuku wasn't satisfied with just that. All For One's punching arm was flapping limply from all of the broken bones, and he was reaching for it with his other arm. Izuku was all bloody as well from his injuries, and the explosion had seared more of his skin and the cutting winds had diced him in places. Despite that, Izuku used Soru to flash forward. Pele had engulfed Ace, and the entire blade was as hot as it could be. He flew past All For One in a twin flash, and geysers of blood erupted from the man's torso as his arms were sliced right off, before the stumps caught fire and started to burn. Even the wind pressure from the movement blew him back. He shrunk, falling flat on his back, and hacking as the air was driven from him.

"My arms!" He howled, unable to use Overhaul or even his original Quirk without his arms! Hyper Regeneration didn't work on flesh that had been turned into charcoal, and the magma Pele had left behind was searing everything! "Damn you, MidoriYAAAAAAAAA!" He howled, arching his back in sheer hatred. He was not going to lose to a complete nobody! Even losing against One For All would have been more acceptable than that! He would not stand for this! He WOULD NOT!

Izuku looked tired as he limped his way towards him, Takeru clenched in his fists, "It's over. You're never going to hurt anyone again." His eyes blazed green as he reared his kanabō behind his head with both hands. "Any last words?"

All For One saw past Izuku, where All Might was pushing a massive planetoid into space. He knew the only thing that could have caused his old rival to do that was Gigantomachia. His most loyal and strongest servant was gone.

And something in him snapped. "You may have beaten me," All For One spat, "BUT I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!" All For One did something he swore he would never do again. He activated a Quirk he'd kept in his repertoire for over a hundred years. It was the original Quirk belonging to the second holder of One For All. At the time, All For One had thought it was a strong boosting Quirk, but one with the side effect of overstraining the body the more it boosted. The Second user had given him somewhat of a fight despite it, and he had figured that he could use other Quirks to mitigate the effects.

He had been wrong.

If the Second's Quirk could be likened to anything else he knew, it was the Eight Gates from Naruto. That damned Quirk overclocked everything. All of his other Quirks had gone out of control, tearing his body apart and landing him in his loyal doctor's emergency care. After he recovered, he swore he'd never use it again.

He broke that promise, embracing the Quirk wholeheartedly, and for a single second he felt like a GOD. Every single one of his Quirks went out of control and his skin had turned lobster red and started steaming, but he could feel that his arms were still gone. "DISAPPEAR!" He screamed madly as Izuku started to spew black sludge from his mouth in ridiculous quantities. Pele and Indra did as well, and Izuku staggered back as he was engulfed.

The boy vanished with his homies, half a second before a titanic foot landed squarely in All For One's stomach, rupturing his insides. "Midoriya-shōnen! WHERE DID YOU SEND HIM!"

"AHAHAHAHA!" All For One cackled insanely, "I have no idea!" He said, before blood started leaking from every orifice in his head before evaporating in a red mist. Way too much blood got coughed out of his lungs as they collapsed. His missing heart had not been returned, but the veins connecting to it started to bleed. Wherever Izuku was, the heart in his pocket was no longer 'connected' to All For One's body via the Ope Ope no Mi. All For One's body straight up started to burn itself out along with his Quirks. Even Hyper Regeneration had failed utterly, beginning to regenerate the missing organ but simply causing it to catch fire too. His body started to blacken, not with Haki, but as if he were being cooked from the inside out. His eyes popped and a blue light shone from the sockets, his nostrils, and his throat. Pieces of him started to crumble into ash, and blew away in the wind. Gradually, every bit of the most heinous Villain this world had known disintegrated. All For One was dead, and not a trace of him remained.

But as days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months, it became clear All For One may have had the last laugh. Not a soul could find a hair of Midoriya Izuku anywhere in the world.

-]|[-

Izuku could not do anything but scream. As soon as that black sludge had engulfed his vision, it became clear that something had gone wrong. He'd appeared in what looked like a normal city, but had been hurtling at speed and crashed into an invisible wall in the air. The air had shattered like a Quake Fruit punch, and he'd broken through it. This one was nothing like the previous one. The entire planet appeared to be volcanic, and advanced technology was seemingly mining it. He had the wherewithal to blacken his entire body with the strongest Busōshoku he could and pull Indra and Pele back into their homes before he hit another invisible wall and crashed through that.

This time the screams weren't of pain, but of shock. His entire body started to unravel as if he were made of strings. Everywhere around him, everything was just string. Everywhere. Even his eyes had unraveled into fiber optic strands, allowing him to see. He crashed through again, and was human enough to be recognizable as such. Not that he could recognize anything. His body was so battered and bruised and sliced up now he hardly had a coherent thought in his head.

…

Doctor Strange took his fighting stance, "I think you'll find our wil-" He stopped talking, as he and Thanos looked off to the side. Both of their faces looked extremely bewildered as they tracked a screaming human with impossibly green hair flying in between them from what looked very much like a dimensional fracture. Finally, they were facing Strange's left where they had started from the right, and the human hit another pane in between dimensions and shattered through that one as well, disappearing.

Thanos looked at Strange in confusion and opened his mouth, his hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet loose and relaxed. And then Tony rammed the spaceship into him. "Piece of cake!" He floated next to Strange, "Was that one of ours?" He asked the bewildered Sorcerer, who legitimately had no answer for the snarky billionaire.

…

Finally, Izuku appeared in a world that quite simply appeared to be a kaleidoscope. Everywhere in every direction were just waves of colors winking between each other. And whatever this place was, it seemed anathema to living beings. Especially one so injured. Izuku's body started to break down, and it was all he could do to grasp Ace and, with hardly a coherent thought in his brain, managed to turn himself and slice a single portal out of there.

…

Rias Gremory was going through some of her paperwork. The school year was just about to start, and she wanted to make sure that all of their permission forms were in order so she and her Peerage could take some trips across Japan. She couldn't wait to see Akihabara in its full glory! She was going to buy so much merch!

Plus, she also had to see if there were any contracts she needed to sort out and reject. Like this one client asking for a Soapland treatment from Akeno. She shook her head. She wasn't sure which idiot had come up with 'Succubae and Incubi' so very long ago, but damn if their 'reputation' didn't make certain things annoying for actual Devils.

Suddenly, a large magical disturbance caught her attention, and her eyes bulged as a tear that looked to be coming directly from the Dimensional Gap opened up near the right-side wall. A green-haired human flew out of it, hitting the floor with crushing speed even for a devil. Her eyes barely caught his unnaturally dark, almost vulcanized-looking black skin before he ricocheted towards the ceiling. He let go of the sword in his hand, and Rias yelped, pushing herself away from the desk just in time for the sword to pierce the wood where she had just been sitting right down to the guard. She turned her chair to the left to get up and out of the way, but was so befuddled and gobsmacked at current events that she wasn't quick enough.

Izuku ricocheted off the ceiling, then the floor again, and then hit the left wall. After that, he spun cartoonishly through the air before her owlish eyes and then crashed right into her boobs face first. Her luxurious leather chair snapped in multiple places from the strain, leaving them both crashing to the floor. She was super glad that it was such a well-padded chair because she was sure even she with her inhuman constitution would have had a concussion after that.

The two lay there, one letting out a groan before finally falling unconscious, the Haki cladding melting away from his skin. Rias merely lay there, utterly stunned. The unconscious boy was between her legs, his face resting on her tits. He was utterly limp. Frazzled, the only thing she managed to blurt out was, "I thought this kind of thing only happened in anime?!"

"BUCHOU!" The rest of her peerage burst through the door, revealing Akeno, Koneko, and Kiba.

They froze, before Akeno smirked, "Ara, ara, what's this?" She took a step back, before all the teasing melted from her face as she noticed the growing puddle of blood beneath the two, "By the Maō, what happened here?!"

"Get him off me, please." Rias managed to say, and Akeno cast a levitation spell on Izuku. He dripped blood and Rias's clothes were all completely ruined. She would definitely be burning them.

"Who is he?" Kiba asked in shock as the boy turned around. He looked to be around their age, but he looked like he'd been put through a meat grinder.

"How did he get here?" Akeno asked.

Rias looked grim, "I'm not sure, but he launched through what looked like a dimensional tear." The three stiffened. She took in his face. He looked so young and innocent despite his heinous wounds and weapons. No less than her other chosen family had. She quickly snapped to a decision, her kind heart directing her, "Please bandage his wounds and give him a quick cleaning, then bring him to my room. Akeno, join us." She started unbuttoning her uniform, "I need a shower…" She mumbled, entering the adjoined bathroom. The rest of her peerage hurried to do as she asked.

-]|[-

The first thing that Izuku realized when he came to was that he was warm. He was warm like he had been wrapped in the finest blankets and comforters in the world. The second thing he noticed was that he felt fantastic. Seeing as how his memories of a great battle were coming back to him, fantastic was the last word he thought he would ever use. He felt beyond fantastic. He felt like he'd never get so great a night of sleep ever again. Again, seeing as how he'd just been in a fight for his life, that was strange. Neither All Might's healing flames, nor Recovery Girl's Quirk had ever done that. The third thing he noticed came when he blearily tried to sit up.

Namely that he could not. His eyes snapped open, taking in the room. It looked normal enough, if decorated in darker colors than he had ever seen anyone do before. It certainly wasn't his room. There was no All Might merch anywhere, and it was certainly not a hospital room! As his eyes cleared up, he looked down. He was naked. Also, not normal.

Two girls sleeping peacefully on his chest, equally as naked as the day they were born and hugging him like a body pillow? VERY MUCH NOT NORMAL! Now, Izuku was no blushing virgin. Miruko had seen to that particular affliction during his second internship with her, after Christmas. And Miruko was gorgeous, with exotic dusky skin, alluring white hair, and even perky, pierced nipples fitting her wild flare. That said…

These two girls were not gorgeous. No, calling them gorgeous was an insult. Both the redhead (which was the most beautiful shade of crimson he'd ever seen) and the darker-haired girl looked as if they had been crafted by divine hands. There was NO WAY breasts so big and impossibly soft could possibly be so perky and bouncy. Healthy thighs were gripping his own legs, their ankles behind his calves. All in all, their bodies were pure sin.

Izuku did the only thing he could in such a situation. He let out a shrill blast of sound that was only detectable by animals, stiffening completely and unwittingly tightening his grip on the two ladies. Oh, and apparently, also by the two girls. They let out twin moans and blearily lifted their heads, "What, morning already?" Even their eyes looked exotic, twin pools of deep blue and radiant violet. "Oh, you're awake?" The redhead mumbled.

The violet-eyed Yamato Nadeshiko yawned, "Ara, what pretty eyes."

"Wh-Wh-Wh-Why are we naked!?" Izuku managed to squeak out, every muscle in his body locked tighter than a miser's wallet.

The redhead yawned too, "You made quite a show when you landed. You were grievously injured and bleeding out." She mumbled, "We had to bring you in to heal you."

Well, that was nice of them! He opened his mouth to thank them, "Okay but why naked?!" Was what came out instead. Stupid vocal cords.

The violet-eyed beauty shrugged, and laid back down without a care in the world. "It's how the healing works." She snuggled into him once more, closing her eyes, "Need to maximize skin contact."

"W-Well, I'm healed now!" He stammered, "S-So I can get up, right?"

"Nope." The redhead mirrored the other girl, having checked the clock and found it was way too early to be getting up, "You're comfy. Go back to sleep."

"I'm going to die…" He moaned, and apparently he'd said it out loud.

"What a way to go, huh?" The dark-haired girl smirked into his chest. "Not sure what you have to be embarrassed about, mister." Her smirk widened, as she teasingly dragged her knee a little bit higher, almost brushing his almost painful erection. She made a show of licking her lips, before pulling her leg back into position.

"Night, night." The redhead said. He tried to protest again, and a crimson, spade-tipped prehensile tail from her made the 'shushing' motion on his lips. Izuku's lips clamped shut, and the tail trailed downwards. The girl was apparently already asleep as her breathing evened out, and yet her tail curled around his left thigh. Apparently the two girls were secretly cats. And like with cats, it was illegal to just try to get up when they were sleeping on you.

So Izuku tried to sleep, but he was wired now. It took nearly fifteen minutes before the adrenaline finally called it quits and he relaxed. And when he did, he realized he was exhausted. He was asleep again within moments.

…

When he next awoke, it was to the girls both getting dressed. He groaned, stretching out and letting out a series of delicious pops. It truly was the best night's sleep he'd ever had.

"Well, good morning." The redhead said, smiling in good humor as she buttoned up her shirt. "Properly this time." She hadn't put panties on yet, and he could see the carpet definitely matched the drapes.

"G-Good morning." Yes, he was still frazzled. Despite that, he made no move to cover up. Seeing as how they'd all already seen everything, it seemed like a wasted effort. He got on his knees on the bed, bowing to the two, "Thank you for taking care of me."

"Ara, it was our pleasure." The dark-haired one smiled playfully, "Hmmm, though seeing a hunk like you bow is nice~" Izuku blushed again. "This one is Himejima Akeno." She bowed to him.

"Ah, Midoriya Izuku." Izuku replied, "A pleasure to meet you, Himejima-san."

"Your last name has 'green' in it? How cute! Nice to meet you, Midoriya-kun." The redhead slipped her panties on as Izuku blushed, "I am Rias Gremory. Or Gremory Rias, here in Japan."

"Nice to meet you, Gremory-san." Izuku then parsed the rest of her statement, "Ah, so we're still in Japan then?" He smiled slightly, "That's good. I was worried I'd landed somewhere else since none of my friends were around."

He didn't notice the two girls share a look, "Well, Midoriya-kun," Rias finished dressing, "Perhaps we should go have breakfast, then? I'm sure you have quite a story."

"T-Thank you for your hospitality," he bowed again." He then looked down and blushed, "I, uhh… I don't suppose any of my stuff is around?"

"We were going to burn it." Akeno replied, making him stiffen, "It was all destroyed. But we noticed it was self-repairing, so we decided to just have it cleaned instead." Rias had all but been salivating at that bit of news once Koneko had stopped by to deliver the news. A lesser devil likely would have stolen it for research.

"Ah, that's good." Izuku said in relief. Thank you, Germa Tech. That could have been disastrous.

"That said, it's not actually clean yet, so we got you this." Rias pointed to the dresser, where what looked like a school uniform was sitting. She smirked a little, "We don't normally have them quite so big, so you were lucky." Indeed, Izuku wasn't sure if he'd been influenced by his Quirk or if his deadbeat dad (who he had never met) was really tall, but he'd clearly not inherited his mother's height. He was 190 cm and very muscular from all the training he'd done since he was young, playing with wooden swords and fighting idiots who thought he was Quirkless.

"Thank you." Izuku said, walking over and grabbing the pants, "…Uh, don't mean to sound ungrateful, but no underwear?"

"As if anything could contain that monster." Akeno immediately shot her shot at the opportunity, a wicked smile on her face. "Ufufufufu." She laughed as she saw even his ears turn red. The two girls went about their business as Izuku quickly dressed, and followed them out.

Rias led him to her office, where AceandTakeru were waiting where they'd fallen. "We tried to pick them up, but I don't think they liked that." She didn't think she had ever heard Yuuto yelp like a girl before.

"Ah… yeah, bad idea." He chuckled a little helplessly, pulling Ace out of the floorboards and casually hefting Takeru over his shoulder. 'Asleep, huh? Eh, let them rest.' He didn't notice Akeno licking her lips as the too-tight fabric of his shirt stretched.

They made their way to the dining room, and Izuku quickly thanked them for the delicious food Akeno had whipped up. Again, the tease had made him blush. Once they were fed and watered, Rias finally asked the question that she had been dying to ask ever since he had first crashed into her. "So, how come you were so heinously injured?"

Izuku blinked, wondering if perhaps they just hadn't seen the news. That was a long shot though. It would have been on the news for weeks! "Uhhh, how long was I out?"

"About fifteen hours." Akeno replied softly.

"Fifteen…" Izuku couldn't contain his shock. How did they not know? Surely someone would have told them! "W-Well, I was a part of the raids on Gunga Mountain Villa and Jaku General Hospital." He furrowed his brow at the non-reactions from the two. He cleared his throat, "N-Not to toot my own horn, but I've been on the news a fair bit from previous battles, and I was leading the Jaku Raid. It should have been all over the news." Their eyes widened slightly, but not with recognition, "We were cooperating with the Police to take down the Meta Liberation Army and All For One?" Still, nothing. In fact, they just shared twin looks of worry. "You have no idea what I'm talking about." He felt numb as the realization washed over him.

Rias bit her lip, "When you arrived here, it was through a dimensional rift. It sealed up quickly, but what I saw made me think of the meager descriptions I've read about the Dimensional Gap." She said softly, but nothing could have softened that blow. "For the record, going into the Dimensional Gap should have killed you."

There was no hint of teasing in Akeno's voice as she said, "I don't think you're in Kansas anymore, Dorothy."

Izuku almost didn't react for a moment, their words ringing in his ears. "No…" Izuku said, dread building within him. His heart started to hammer in his chest as he broke into a cold sweat. He was shaking his head in denial, before raising his fist to his mouth. His breath came faster and faster, and the two ladies inhaled sharply as they recognized the signs of a panic attack.

"Midoriy-" Rias started to say, but Izuku shot to his feet abruptly.

"I-I gotta go!" he said, panicking as his two weapons shot into his hands and he ran from the room blindly, directed only by his Kenbunshoku.

"Midoriya-kun!" The two yelled at his back. "Shit!" Rias cursed in an unladylike manner as they quickly fell behind, watching as Izuku nearly knocked the doors to the Occult Research Club's building off their hinges in his hurry to get out. "Izuku wait!" Rias called, before gaping as he took off into the air hard enough to crack the ground beneath him.

"By the Maō!" Akeno gasped at the sight, watching him fly higher into the air with what looked like repeated kicks off the air itself.

Rias quickly summoned her familiar, "Follow him!" She told the tiny bat, and it shot off after Izuku.

"Oh my!" Akeno hadn't taken her eyes off of him. "This could be bad."

Rias made a magic circle, "Sona!" She yelled into it, "We may have a big problem! Of the memory wiping variety."

"We're on it." Her second-best friend's voice came through the magic circle, realizing this was no time for games or niceties.

"It's a good thing school doesn't actually start for another few weeks." Akeno said, biting her bottom lip.

"Yeah, but who knows where he's going. This could be a disaster." Rias replied, "Get Koneko and Yuuto and join Sona."

"Hai, Buchou." Akeno briskly walked back into the club house.

Rias bit her lip, "Wherever you're going, please just stay out of sight!" She pleaded momentarily, before hurrying to her office and syncing her vision with her familiar.

…

'Where! WHERE!' Izuku chanted as he got higher and higher. He needed to get a sense of where he was. "Indra!" He cried out, and the Homie jarred awake. He was now so high in the air that the cities were starting to get small. Indra formed in front of him, and he hopped on, going far faster now than he had been using Geppō. "Get us higher!" he commanded, and the Kirin neighed before speeding up. Kilometers away where Rias sat, her jaw dropped.

Izuku flew so high he started being able to see most of Japan. The air was getting thinner and thinner, and it wasn't helping. This was enough. They whirled around, and Izuku quickly scanned the landmass. "There!" He knew where Shizuoka and Musutafu were like the back of his hand. The Kirin started galloping down to U.A. as fast as it could. Rias cursed again as he made his way to a somewhat populated area.

Izuku landed down on the mountain where U.A. sat, dismounting Indra. But there was nothing there. It was just a normal mountain with a rocky plateau. "Where…" His vision blurred.

"Izuku… what?!" Indra asked him, equally shaken.

There was no U.A. No town by the slopes. No friends. No teachers. No mom to welcome him home a few kilometers away.

No nothing.

Izuku took a few steps forward before falling to his knees. He crawled forward on them a few more paces before tipping over and falling on his hands as well. Tears leaked from his eyes as he sobbed. A whimper escaped his throat, before he screamed in anguish. "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" His voice was once more like an avalanche as his Haōshoku went out of control. It rang through the entire cliffside as black lightning arced into the sky above them. Rias's poor bat familiar was hit by the wave and immediately passed out, falling from the sky.

Hundreds of kilometers away, Rias screamed as she was knocked from her Mind Walking, feeling cold sweat drip off of her. The lights dimmed, and it was all she could do to keep from falling unconscious. Her nails tore at her restored seat's upholstery as she trembled in fright. How? How was it possible for someone so sweet and innocent, as Izuku had appeared to have been, to be so utterly terrifying? It took her a few moments for her to regain herself and she immediately fought through her fear. She connected again with her familiar, jolting her awake. She flew up and saw that whatever Izuku had done was over. He was sitting seiza now, silent tears leaking from his bowed head. She left her familiar's mind and walked over to the teleportation circle.

…

Izuku paid no mind to the crimson light show, nor the hurried steps. He didn't even react to his name being called. He merely continued letting out shuddering breath after shuddering breath.

Finally, Rias put her hand on his shoulder, "Midoriya-kun…"

"It's all gone." He rasped, hoarsely. As if he had torn his voice box. "Everyone I ever loved… Everything I ever did… All my dreams… Everything I ever knew." His voice was raw with pain as he looked at her. She stepped in front of him as his voice broke once more, "It's all gone…" he sobbed again.

Rias's heart broke as she pulled his head into her chest once more. "Shhhhh… let it all out." She always had been a bleeding heart, hadn't she? It was all she could do to brush her hands through his hair as he clutched onto her like she was his lifeline.

He wasn't sure how long they stayed like that, but it was long enough for him to grow embarrassed that yet again, her heavenly breasts were enveloping him. He finally spoke, "I just… What do I even do now?"

"You let me take care of that." Rias smiled at him, "After that, I'd have to have ice in my chest in place of a heart to not want to help. We can get you enrolled into Kuoh." Her smile turned sad, "I can't help you bring back what you lost, but I can at least help you get a new start."

"Look at me." He chuffed half in amusement, half in recrimination. "Haven't known you for a conscious hour and I've already caused you to go out of your way for me, thrice."

"Not to worry! You can make it up to me easily!" Rias said cheerfully, her eyes sparkling. He couldn't help but smile as he got to his feet, "You only need to answer this very important question."

"Ah." Izuku wondered what she would ask. Where he came from? How he'd grown so powerful? His exercise routine? He hoped it wasn't a date request. He'd probably combust before he could answer. "Sure. What is it?"

She leaned forward, her face alight in excitement, "Was that Haōshoku?"

And mentally, Izuku sputtered. "They have One Piece here too?!"

Rias squealed, before she froze, "Wait, I don't recognize you! By the Maō, are you a walking spoiler?!" She asked fearfully, "Wait. No, why would you ask if One Piece exists here too if you were from One Piece?" She mumbled to herself.

Izuku couldn't help but laugh, "Ah, no, I'm not from One Piece. Wait, does that mean One Piece isn't finished? What year is it?"

"2018." Rias replied, and Izuku stiffened up.

"Oh… did you guys even hit Wano yet?"

"Nooooo!" Rias whined, "Whole Cake Island just ended."

"Ah… Well then yes, I am a walking spoiler." Izuku said, before smirking at her look of horror. She even backed up a step, "After all… One Piece was finished nearly two hundred years prior in my world."

Her jaw dropped, "You're from nearly two hundred years in the future?!"

"Honestly? We should probably compare notes." Izuku said, "I'm not sure what similarities exist between worlds."

Rias immediately realized she was acting stupid. Save the One Piece fangirling for later. "Right." She immediately took a businesslike tone, "I'll probably need to call in some help for all the memory erasures we'll need after your… ahem."

"Memory erasures?!" Izuku gaped, "What in the world for?!"

"…Oh." Rias said after a moment, "Several things started making a bit more sense…" She shook her head and smiled sardonically, "You're right. We definitely need to share notes. Just no spoilers!" She hurried to say.

"Gremory-san, after all you've done for me, I'll let you read the coming volumes." Izuku smiled, and then hurried to catch her as she swayed in shock.

"YOU HAVE THEM?!" She whisper-screamed at him. She grabbed his arm, "We're going back righ-" She stopped, "…" She frowned. "Drat. You can't take a teleportation circle. Only those connected to me can use it."

"Indra." Izuku said, and his Homie sat up.

Immediately, Rias jolted, "I forgot! Is that a Homie?! Big Mom dies?!"

Izuku snickered, "You know what? Let's just save it for that meeting, shall we?"

"Yes." Rias shook her head, and smiled widely as Izuku helped her onto Indra. "This is going to be AWESOME!" She could barely hold back a squeal as she hugged him from behind tightly. She was so excited she forgot she could just fly.

Izuku blushed, "Go!" Indra took off, and Rias let out that squeal as they soared, hidden by a hasty spell from her.

-]|[-

"This is Sōna Sitri." Rias introduced a much shorter, bespectacled young woman with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut, and violet eyes. "She goes by Shitori Sōna here in Japan."

"Nice to meet you, Sitri-san." Izuku bowed.

Sōna greeted him dutifully, "Caused a bit of ruckus, did we?" She smirked at Rias, "And you pulled out all the stops, my friend. What is this about?"

"Sorry for the trouble." Izuku bowed again, before Rias could answer.

All four girls in the room (Rias, Akeno, Sōna, and Shinra Tsubaki) smiled at how polite he was. Rias took command as they all sat down, "To put it bluntly, Midoriya-kun here is a dimensional traveler. Through unknown means that he tells me was a suicide technique by a powerful enemy, he has found himself not only in the past, but perhaps an entirely separate reality."

Tsubaki gasped, "Oh Maō, that would mean that the Multiverse Theory is true!"

Sōna's glasses were glinting, "Fascinating." She said, while inwardly cursing that Rias got all the luck.

"Indeed. Though discovering that fact was what led to our little incident." Akeno smirked at Izuku, who scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"S-Sorry. Discovering that…" His face dropped, and all four of them felt a pang at the morose look that flashed across his face, "Everything I knew was… gone… was too much. I panicked."

"We could hardly begrudge you for that." Sōna said softly, "Rias also tells me you were shocked at the idea of memory wiping. Forgive me, but please, tell us about your world. I would like to know what differences there are."

"We all would like to know." Rias confirmed, "You not knowing about memory wiping suggests quite a few differences."

"Right." Izuku chuckled. Just basic Kenbunshoku when they were traveling back to Kuoh Academy told him that most people here were frightfully weak. Rias herself (as well as the others he had been introduced to such as Sōna) felt bafflingly different from anyone else he had ever met. There was something different about them. "Well, the first thing you should know is that I don't have a precise date for this. We lost a lot after it happened because of upheaval." They all shared concerned looks, "Centuries ago, a baby was born in my world who glowed like a strong lamp. Nothing could explain it."

"Hmm, that sounds like a Sacred Gear." Tsubaki mused, "Why would that be allowed to go public?"

"Not sure what that is." Izuku deadpanned, before continuing, "People thought it was a sign from the divine, while others from the devil." The girls all shared looks, and this time Izuku caught it. He filed it away, "They thought it was a one off. That the baby was special. Destined for greater things. Except then one was born who could stretch like rubber. And then another who could control small amounts of fire. And then another who could breathe underwater." Their eyes slowly started widening, "And eventually, this exploded. Things fell into chaos, as more and more people with Meta Abilities started being born. The humans who were born powerless resented them, and obviously they fought for their own rights."

"You're a X-man!" Rias squealed giddily, making her friends roll their eyes.

Izuku laughed at the cute reaction, "No, but I like your spirit!" She blushed a bit as they all laughed, "The world fell into a Dark Age because of it, and we lost much of what could have been. But we gained so much more. Eventually, by the time I was born an… uncertain number of years later, eighty percent of the population had what came to be known as Quirks."

"EIGHTY?!" Almost all of them couldn't help but blurt out. Only Sōna kept her shock internalized.

"By the Maō… that's amazing!" Akeno breathed out.

"It was…" Izuku smiled bittersweetly, "And because of it, Superheroes became a profession. There were always people willing to use their Quirks for nefarious purposes. I went to U.A. It was the greatest high school for Heroes in the world. Certainly, the best in Japan, at the very least."

"No wonder you thought nothing of just flying out of here on a Kirin!" Rias exclaimed, looking like every birthday for the next ten years had come early.

"These Quirks… were they magical in nature?" Sōna asked.

"No." Izuku shook his head, "They were biological in nature."

"How is that possible?!" Tsubaki gaped at him.

"They were passed on from parent to child in most cases." Izuku explained, "Usually gaining in power as they did so. A first-generation fire Quirk could probably be likened to a campfire. One of my friends had a fire Quirk that was so powerful he could vaporize nearly anything that didn't have a high melting point. He could boil even tungsten." Even Sōna's eyes were wide now, "Sometimes Quirks also combined in ways that could not be explained by anything other than genetics. My best friend was named Bakugō Katsuki. His mother's Quirk allowed her skin to secrete glycerin. It kept her skin soft and smooth and honestly, she looked so young most people thought she was his sister, not his mother." He blushed minutely. Curse that old crush. He didn't notice Akeno filing it away for later, "His father had the Quirk Oxidizing Sweat. It meant that he could sweat a liquid with combustive and somewhat explosive properties. Katsuki's sweat combined both Quirks into a nitroglycerin substitute that he could detonate at will. The largest explosion he ever created was bigger than one of the American's MOABs by a good margin, and he was only sixteen like me. And he could fire them every couple seconds."

And now even Sōna was staring at him, completely slack-jawed. In the grand scheme of things, that wasn't too powerful compared to devil abilities. But it can't have been more than a 10th generation Quirk max, at least if the dates Izuku gave them were accurate. Hell, two hundred years was barely a blink of an eye to the oldest among them. But Bakugō himself was not even twenty years old, and the first of his line to have the Explosion Quirk! THAT certainly merited a lot of interest.

Tsubaki finally spoke, "That's amazing. There must have been outliers to question that knowledge, though?"

"There were." Izuku nodded to her with another smile, "As with any part of the genetic code, random mutations can lead to something completely different. My own Quirk is nothing like either of my parent's Quirks, and I saved a little girl whose Quirk also had nothing to do with the Quirks of anyone related to her. She could Rewind biological matter." Their eyes bugged out again, "It was a random mutation, and that poor girl accidentally rewound her father out of existence when she was just a couple years old." He said sadly, and the girls recoiled in horror. He hurried on, not wanting to recall it. "My own Quirk is also heavily mutated."

Rias quickly forced through the momentary feeling of dread, and was back to vibrating in her seat. "I MUST know! What was your Quirk, Midoriya-kun?"

"Mine?" Izuku laughed, "For your information, most people develop their Quirks by the time they are four years old. My fourth year came and went with nothing. Fifth, the same deal. We legitimately thought I was Quirkless, and most people bullied me a lot for it." Frowns all around, "That was because my Quirk had such a ludicrously specific activation condition that it had to have been divine intervention that allowed me to figure it out. My Quirk is a reality warper."

Rias and Sōna both whimpered, squeezing their thighs. Neither King had to look at one another to know Sōna wanted to challenge her for the right of dibs. Over her dead body!

Izuku didn't notice, though the two Queens did. He continued, "In my world, there was an ancient manga series called One Piece."

The yen dropped, "NO WAY!" Rias stood, slapping her hands on the desk in a mixture of shock, glee, and sheer bloody excitement.

"Yes way." Izuku smiled at her, "My Quirk allows me to bring anything from One Piece to life, with the sole exception being flesh and blood characters." He grabbed Ace, "It's not surprising that you didn't recognize this, Gremory-san." He held the blade out for them to look, "This is the Ō Wazamono Ace. It belonged to Roger."

"Ohhh~" Rias swayed, and fell back in her seat. She didn't even care how undignified she looked. "W-Wait, that means he named Ace after his sword?!" She realized incredulously, getting a snicker from Izuku. "Wait, that means YOU ate Big Mom's fruit!" She looked like she was going to swoon.

"Care to fill in the non-nerds in the room?" Sōna ribbed her friend dryly.

"It is the best series!" Rias declared, mentally adding that she would die on that hill. "And now we have a friend who can bring it to life! You have to read it!"

"I will consider it." Sōna said blandly.

Izuku snickered. That was code for 'never.' He cleared his throat, "Essentially, one of the set of objects from One Piece are called 'Devil Fruits.'" He didn't know, why, but both Akeno and Tsubaki choked/snorted in unladylike manners. Izuku raised an eyebrow, but continued, "In exchange for being cursed to forever be rejected by the sea, you were granted a power based on a single word." He inclined his head at Rias, and she took over.

"Imagine it like this: You eat the Gura Gura no Mi." She grinned, "And from then until the day you die, every punch you throw can cause devastating earthquakes if you wish it."

Izuku chuckled as Sōna looked very interested at the thought, "In my case, I ate the fruit that in the series belonged to a character named Big Mom. It was the Soru Soru no Mi, which as you may guess, allows me to manipulate souls." Tsubaki's jaw unhinged as he grinned. "Noboru." he said softly, allowing a small bit of soul to escape him and enter the table.

Which grew a face. All the girls except Rias (who merely grinned gleefully) goggled as the table started moving around on its own, "Oh, I was once such a proud Cherry! Look at me now!" It spoke, "I may have diminished, but I am still quite exquisite!"

"What…" Akeno asked flatly as Izuku and Rias started to laugh.

Izuku shook his head, "Soul Pocus!" He ripped the soul out and returned it to his body.

Sōna shook her head in disbelief, "I'm at a loss for words." She smiled slightly, "But so very intrigued. You may actually have won this one, Rias. I might actually begin reading it."

"YES! I FINALLY GOT ONE!" Rias cheered, and Akeno and Tsubaki started to laugh.

"Don't get used to it!" Sōna coughed, "But now, it is our turn. And Midoriya-san, I'm not sure how it's possible for our worlds to be so similar and yet so different. The reason I asked if your Quirks were magical in nature is because magic is our bread and butter. It is very much real here. The thing is… magic is hidden from the general populace."

Akeno nodded and took over, "How prevalent is religion in your world? I imagine it may have taken a back seat after Quirks took over, yes?"

Izuku confirmed it, "There are people who still follow the old religions." He remembered Ibara from 1-B, "But they're few and far between. The religions of the world were either compatible with Quirks, had to adapt to the new world, or they died out."

"I see…" Sōna said, before Rias followed up.

"To put it bluntly, Midoriya-kun, in this world, every old legend and myth is real. The old gods are real. The Abrahamic God is real, as is Lucifer and everything in between. The supernatural world fears exactly the same upheaval you spoke about, and so we live alongside the normal humans, but in secret. There are those who are in the know, and there are humans with magical abilities of their own. But in general, we do our best to keep the secret. That was why memory wipes were essential."

"I see…" Izuku looked shocked, "Wow, can't say I ever expected something like that. I really don't think it's the same world at all. There's no way they wouldn't have just revealed it once Quirks became predominant."

Tsubaki nodded, "It would seem rather superfluous to keep the secret at that point. Though I can perhaps think of a few reasons why they would."

"Oh?" Izuku asked curiously.

Rias smiled and stood, "Yes. Believe me, I am quite pleased that religion took a lesser role in your world. I hope it means you will keep an open mind." She revealed her bat wings and her spade-shaped tail. The other girls did the same, barring Akeno, though only Sōna had the tail as well; a midnight blue one. Only pureblooded devils had them. Beelzebub-sama had never quite figured out why. "All of us are Devils."

"Oh." Izuku replied, nonplused, "So that's why you felt so different! Cool." There wasn't a hint of discrimination in his tone. Why would there be? Rias had been one of the nicest girls he'd ever met so far, and he had no preconceptions about their natures to taint his view of them. Other than some holdouts, most religions were barely afterthoughts for most people back home. Shiozaki had been considered a bit of a weirdo for her faith by quite a few people. All in all, them not being human didn't matter to him at all.

Hope you all enjoyed it!

Yes, that was Mustafar. All For One: "Send him to Mustafar!" The Universe: "You mean Musutafu?" All For One: "DID I FUCKING STUTTER?!"

The Avengers cameo had me busting a goddamn gut. No, there will be no further Marvel cameos.

Multiverse of Madness was awesome on my first viewing of it… and then I actually turned my brain back on, and it was no longer as good, sadly. Still, the "crashing through the multiverse" montage was amazing. I just HAD to homage it.

Why did I give Pureblood Devils tails? Why the fuck not?

WHY IS IZUKU SO STRONG?! Have you SEEN DxD? They're fucking overpowered! Izuku ain't shit in this new world compared to the true top tiers.

Why did Izuku not just crush All For One's heart? Because by this point, he was so mad he wasn't thinking straight. He wanted All For One to suffer.

Also, here's some quick clarifications:

Ragdoll: Door Door Fruit. Due to her Quirk, she can open them anywhere she has targets.

Ochako: Gravity

All Might: Phoenix

Yui: Fude Fude no Mi (Kanjūrō's)

Setsuna: Pica's

Mirio: Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Sabertooth Tiger

MIRUKO: FUCKING PIKA PIKA NO MI. LIGHTSPEED BUN IS A GO.

Others were given out, but I couldn't let EVERYONE shine, unfortunately.

Anyway, with this now officially released, it will join the rotation. As always, you can find all currently written future chapters on my Pat re on for early access. It's officially made it to four more chapters backlogged, which is why I started posting it.

Next month's public update will be chapter two. You guys have been waiting long enough. :D
