A/N: Here's Part Two of Ryuujin96's request. I'm gonna be honest, this was getting really big, so Part Three is coming next Friday. Heck, I probably could've made this into its own fanfic if I wanted to. Anyways, I want to give a big thanks to Ryuujin96 not only for being the first to review this fic, but also for being the first to send in a request and just for being the biggest supporter of this fic in general. It makes me so happy that people love reading this!

Deku awoke to feel a strange sensation on his neck. Soon, it became obvious to him that Todoroki was nibbling and sucking on his neck. He gasped when this became apparent to him.

"TODOROKI!"

Deku gently pushed at Todoroki until she stopped nibbling his neck.

"What?" said Todoroki.

Deku frowned. "You know, you could've just woken me up with a kiss!"

Todoroki smiled. "True, but I really enjoy nibbling and sucking people's necks, especially handsome boys."

Deku gave a disbelieving stare to Todoroki, whose smile didn't waver for one second. Then, Deku broke out into a smile of his own.

"Hey Shoko…"

"Yes?"

"Enjoy THIS!"

Deku grabbed Todoroki's well-endowed chest, causing her to let out a loud gasp.

"How DARE you grab those, you impudent commoner!?"

Deku smiled. "Hey, you get what you give!"

"Oh really!? I'll give you something back!"

Todoroki wrapped her arms around Deku and kissed him, and he returned her gesture. Soon enough, they broke away.

"You may be an impudent commoner, but you're still the noblest, most handsome boy I've ever met!" said Todoroki.

"And you're the strongest, most beautiful woman I've ever met!"

"Deku, you're so sweet!"

"I could say the same of you!"

"Let's just get breakfast, shall we?"

After having breakfast, Deku, Todoroki and Bob packed up their tents and blankets before moving on. Thus far, things were going smoothly.

"Ah, what a beautiful day!" said Deku. "I feel like anything is possible today!"

"Wow, you're especially cheery today! Care to explain?"

"What is there to explain? I'm that much closer to finishing my quest, and best of all, I have the most beautiful woman in the world accompanying me!"

Todoroki giggled. "Well, I suppose I'll give you that!"

"Ni!"

Deku and Todoroki froze when they heard that simple monosyllabic exclamation. Standing in their path was a group of knights.

"Who are you?" said Deku.

"We are the Knights Who Say 'Ni'!" said the head knight, a tall man with a long brown beard.

Todoroki gasped. "No! Not the Knights Who Say 'Ni'!"

"The same!"

Deku looked over at Todoroki. "Um…why are we so concerned about these guys?"

"We are the keepers of the sacred words 'Ni', 'Peng' and 'Neee-wom'!" said the head knight.

"Deku, those who hear those words seldom live to tell the tale!" said Todoroki

Deku drew his sword. "Well, we might just be the first!"

"The Knights Who Say 'Ni' demand a sacrifice!" said the head knight.

"Knights Who Say 'Ni', we are but simple travellers who only wish to reach a castle that lies beyond these woods!" said Deku. "If you shall not allow us to reach this castle, then we shall have no choice but to fight you!"

"Ni!"

The rest of the knights continued to pummel Deku and Todoroki with shouts of "Ni!" While Deku seemed to be unfazed, it was clear that Todoroki was having trouble coping with the onslaught, as evidenced by her clutching her ears. Bob was also feeling the pain of having to hear "Ni!" over and over.

"Deku, make them stop!"

"We shall say 'ni' again if you do not appease us!" said the head knight.

"Well, tell us what you want and I won't kill you all!" said Deku.

"We want…a strawberry!"

A dramatic orchestral sting sounded when the head knight made his demand.

"A shrubbery?" said Deku.

"No, a strawberry!"

The same dramatic orchestral sting sounded again.

"Please, don't say 'ni' again!" said Todoroki. "We'll get you a strawberry!"

"You must return here with a strawberry, or else you shall never pass through this forest alive!" said the head knight.

"Knights Who Say 'Ni', though I dislike you, I find you to be just and fair, and we will get you a strawberry!" said Deku.

"One that is sweet and juicy!"

"Of course!"

"And not too expensive!"

"Yes!"

"Now, go!"

Deku, Todoroki and Bob branched off onto a different path, hoping to find a strawberry. They found none growing in the wilderness of Gleifnir Forest, but they soon came upon a small village in a clearing. After giving it some thought, they approached an old woman.

"Excuse us, ma'am, but do you know of any place in this town where we could buy strawberries?" asked Deku.

"No, we have no strawberries!" said the old woman.

"Ni!" said Deku.

The old woman cringed upon hearing this, but nevertheless stood her ground.

"Go away! We haven't any strawberries here!"

"If you don't tell us where we can buy strawberries here, then my girlfriend and I will continue to say 'Ni!'" said Deku.

The old woman cringed again, but continued to stand against Deku, Todoroki and Bob.

"Do your worst!" said the old woman.

"Very well, then!" said Deku. "Ni!"

"No! Never! No strawberries!"

"Ni!"

The old woman let out a wet, hacking cough upon hearing the repeated utterings of "Ni!"

"Ni!" said Deku. "Ni!"

"Noo!" said Todoroki. "Noo!"

"No no no, Todoroki, it's 'Ni'!"

"Noo! Noo!"

"I said it's 'Ni'!"

"Oh, sorry! Ni! Ni!"

The old woman covered her ears in an attempt to shield herself from the barrage of "Nis". However, no matter how hard she tried, she found herself unable to resist such verbal injury, and it seemed that she too would fall victim to this infamous word.

"Stop, you two!" said a mysterious male voice. "Stop, I say!"

Deku and Todoroki stopped saying "Ni" and turned to see who'd addressed them: a man dressed as a commoner wearing a strawberry-shaped hat.

"Are you two saying 'Ni' to that old woman!?" said the man.

"Y-yes…" said Deku.

"What is wrong with you two!? Are you mad!? Have you no sense of decency!? At long last, have you left no sense of decency!? Why, such a sad day it is when such young ruffians as yourselves can be so free and reckless in saying 'Ni' to old ladies! As a seller of fruit, I must protest your disorderly behavior!"

Deku raised an eyebrow. "Wait…did you say 'fruit'?"

"Why yes, I deal in fruit, mainly strawberries. My name is Roger."

"Well, if it's not too much trouble, we'd like to buy some strawberries from you."

"Ni!" said Todoroki.

"Todoroki, you can stop saying 'Ni' now!" said Deku.

"Oh…sorry!"

Having bought a carton of strawberries, Deku, Todoroki and Bob returned to the Knights Who Say "Ni".

"Oh Knights Who Say 'Ni', we have brought you a strawberry!" said Deku.

"Several of them!" said Todoroki. "May we pass through now?"

The head knight took a bite of one of the strawberries and nodded. "This is a good strawberry, perhaps the sweetest and juiciest I have yet tasted. However, there is one small problem…"

"What is that?" asked Deku.

"We are no longer the Knights Who Say 'Ni'."

"Huh?"

"We are now the Knights Who Say 'Tikki Tikki Tembo No Sa Rembo Chari Bari Ruchi Pip Peri Pembo'! Also, we must give you a test!"

"What is this test, Knights Who…Until Recently, Said 'Ni'?"

"Firstly, you must get us…MORE strawberries!"

The dramatic orchestral sting sounded again.

"But we already got you strawberries!" said Deku.

"Then, when you have gotten us the strawberries, you must get us…EVEN MORE STRAWBERRIES!" said the head knight.

Yet again, the dramatic orchestral sting cut through the air.

"Then, when you have gotten us those strawberries, you must cut down the mightiest tree in this forest, with…A HERRING!"

For the fifth time, the dramatic orchestral sting came up. Dissatisfied with the Knights Who Say "Tikki Tikki Tembo No Sa Rembo Chari Bari Ruchi Pip Peri Pembo", Todoroki clenched her fists.

"A herring!?" said Todoroki. "I'll show you what you can do with your herring!"

Todoroki stomped her way over to the head knight. The other knights, genuinely afraid of what might happen to them, ran away, leaving the head knight to stand, frozen in fear by the sight of the approaching Todoroki as she snatched the herring from him and forced him to bend over.

"NO! What are you doing!? You must use that herring to cut down the tree! Please, let me be! I'll do anything you want! I…!"

The head knight let out a high-pitched shriek as Todoroki shoved the herring somewhere where no herring should logically go. Unable to comprehend the pain, he keeled over on the ground.

"Come on, Deku, let's proceed forth!"

"Todoroki, did you really have to do that?"

"When a woman is fed up with someone or something, then yes, she is obliged to do as she pleases!"

Deku smiled nervously. "Heh heh…OK! Let's just keep going, shall we?"

Having passed the Knights Who…Until Recently, Said "Ni", Deku, Todoroki and Bob continued their trek through the forest. Aside from the sounds of various birds and insects, there was nothing to disturb their trek onwards.

"Deku, I've been meaning to ask you…"

"What is it, Shoko?"

"This Gigantomachia…you have no idea where he resides…do you?"

"Exactly where he lives, I couldn't tell you. However, I have a feeling that this 'All For One' you mentioned has something to do with him."

"You really think so?"

"Well, there's only one way to find out."

Eventually, the forest ended, and Deku, Todoroki and Bob came to some grasslands. Not too far off from the grasslands, there was a lake. Proceeding further, not only did they notice a small boat on the shore and a man standing beside it, but across the way, there was a castle.

"That castle…" said Todoroki. "No! It can't be! It's none other than Castle Slayer!"

Deku and Bob gave Todoroki quizzical looks.

"Castle Slayer?" said Deku.

"This is the very castle where All For One is said to reside!" Todoroki briefly glanced at the castle before turning back to Deku. "Nobody who has set foot near that castle has survived! Rumor has it that even to see the castle is death!"

Deku patted the hilt of his sword. "Then let us be the first to do the impossible!"

Deku, Todoroki and Bob galloped onwards to the man with the boat, an old man with scraggly graying hair and an equally scraggly beard.

"Stop!" said the man. "Who would cross the Lake of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see."

"Ask away, my good sir!" said Deku.

"What is your name?"

"Izuku Midoriya."

"What is your quest?"

"To defeat Gigantomachia."

"What is the time it takes for a coconut to rot?"

"Where was the coconut carried from?"

"WHAT!? I don't know that!"

Suddenly, the man spontaneously combusted.

"HELP ME! I'M BURNING UP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

Like many fictional characters, the man's reaction to burning up was to flail his arms about until he dropped lifelessly to the ground rather than stopping, dropping and rolling like any sensible person would do. Once he'd collapsed to the ground, the flames consumed whatever remained of him, while Deku, Todoroki and Bob gave each other curious looks. After this, they got in the boat, and Deku and Bob each grabbed an oar.

"Hold on, I know a faster way."

Todoroki used her ice power to propel the boat across the lake in a matter of seconds. Then, despite not knowing exactly what to expect, Deku, Todoroki and Bob galloped on to the front gate when all of a sudden, Deku heard a yelp, so he turned around, and…

"BOB!"

Noticing that Bob had been shot with an arrow, Deku cradled his body in his arms, while Todoroki created an ice shield to block further attacks.

"Bob, I promise you…you will not have died in vain!"

Just then, Deku heard a groaning sound, only to notice that Bob was still alive.

"Bob, I promise you…you will not have been mortally wounded in vain!"

"Oh, I'm quite all right, actually," said Bob. "I don't think that really broke the skin.

Todoroki dropped her jaw. "Wait…you can speak?"

"Of course! Listen…Deku, Todoroki, my mission is complete here. Go on without me!"

"You shall not go on any further!" said a mysterious female voice.

Deku, Todoroki and Bob turned to see who'd addressed them: a woman with short mint green hair and matching eyes. She wore a black bodysuit, a green hooded cape, chain mail armor, brown leather boots with a fur lining and a black mask obscuring the lower half of her face.

"Who are you!?" said Deku.

"My name is Beros*. All For One has enlisted my aid in his quest to conquer Syrlania, and you shall perish for your intervention!"

"No!" said Todoroki. "It's you who shall perish!"

Beros raised her left hand, formed a bow with it, while Todoroki shot a blast of flames at her. However, Beros managed to dodge it.

"Did you really think you could best me that easily?" said Beros. "Embrace your demise!"

"Deku, I'll distract her!" said Todoroki. "You close in!"

"Right!"

And thus, the battle between Deku and Todoroki vs. Beros began. Todoroki alternated between using her fire and ice not so much to fry or freeze Beros, but to give Deku a chance to close in on her and land a finishing blow. However, in a curious turn of events, Beros turned on Deku and attempted to shoot arrows at him. Fortunately, he was able to block them with his sword, though he needed a clean break in the arrows to really do her in. Then, just when things were looking hopeless, Beros got careless with her timing and got her foot frozen by Todoroki, thus giving Deku that opportunity he really needed…

"NEWCASTLE SMASH!"

In one quick, clean swipe, Deku beheaded Beros.

"Well, she'll never get ahead in life," said Todoroki.

Deku burst out laughing.

"What?" said Todoroki.

"Shoko, I didn't know you had a sense of humor!"

Todoroki shrugged. "I didn't, either. Now then, let's head into the castle."

*A/N: No, Beros is not an OC. She was one of the villains in the movie My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission. Expect to see her in at least one other fanfic of mine.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
