This was impossible.
Bad enough some D-Lister slime piece of trash got the better of him, but now that stupid fucking Deku of all people was trying to save him.
How?
Why?
He's supposed to be powerless. A Deku. A pebble on his way to greatness.
What Katsuki Bakugo was witnessing wasn't a pebble.
It was the entire mountain.
"Come on!" Gozyu Wolf yelled as he ducked, dodged and dived through the Slime Villain's multiple tentacle-like appendeges. This wasn't working at all! None of his attacks affected the damn villain, what was he supposed to do?!
Suddenly, Izuku witnessed an image in his mind of a woman clad in black. A king who carried justice upon the land with her frosty exterior.
That's it! I need to freeze him!
No sooner did the thought enter his mind when the Tega Sword on his hand began to shift, changing into an intricate looking sword. Instinctively, Izuku knew this to be the transformation device known as the OhgerCalibur.
Jumping back to dodge an explosion, he first hit the purple switch, filling the alleyway with the sounds of what sounded like drums of war, as well as a mysterious voice calling out "Pop it on!"
He then twisted the blue switch, hooked the yellow switch, hit the violet switch, pushed the black switch, and finally pulled the red switch in rapid suggestion, filling the space with regal fanfare as his body was cocooned in violet light until...
You Are The King,
You Are The
YOU ARE THE KING!
"Popillon Ohger!" Izuku called out, resting the OhgerCalibur on his shoulder as he blocked a strike with his new purple cape. "Now, you fall! King's Proof!"

It was as though the entire alleyway dropped 30 degrees in an instant, the warm, sunny summer weather replaced with a harsh winter chill as Papillon Ohger slowly and confidently approached the Slime Villain, pulling Bakugo out of his grasp and leading him over to the awaiting Death Arms and Kamui Woods, who, despite the chattering of their teeth, stood in front of Bakugo protectively.
"Blizzard Manifestation!" Izuku bellowed, pointing his blade at the Slime Villain, directing the entire blizzard upon him, slowly freezing him solid.
"No! No! I refuse to go down like this!" The Slime Villain shrieked desperately moving as fast as he could and latching himself onto Mount Lady, now possessing her to cause as much death and destruction as she could.
Fear.
There was no other word to describe what Toshinori Yagi was feeling.
At first, Toshinori was sure he had found his successor. Here was a boy that jumped in to help without thinking, and with his transformation into that Gozyu Wolf form, he was sure that one for all would take him to new heights!
Then the claw transformed into a sword. Okay, that wasn't a big deal. Dual Quirks were rare but they weren't unheard of.
Then the boy transformed again and his heart sank as realization started to kick in. Triple Quirks were biologically impossible. Dual Transformations even more so. Which could only mean that he was given at least one Quirk.
And now there was his cryogenic abilities. That's four Quirks. That could only mean one thing
All For One was alive, and this boy had to be working for him. There was only one thing for him to do.
I'll have to give Mirai a call. He thought grimly. Hopefully that boy he's been training is enough.
Izuku had to think fast. Once again, Tega Sword showed him the way, giving him a vision of how to summon his allies.
"Deku wait!" A voice yelled and Izuku saw Bakugo fighting his way past the heroes protecting him. "You're crazy if you think I'm not fighting with you." he growled. "You owe me an explanation when this is over. That and..." He growled, looking away. "I'm sorry... for what I said. I let my ego blind me to the fact that I was becoming the exact opposite of what I wanted to be. Took me almost dying to see that."
Behind the mask, Izuku couldn't help but smile. He knew, deep down, that Baku-... No, that Katsuki was a good person. Besides, what kind of hero would he be if he couldn't forgive someone? "All in the past, Kacchan." He said. "Now, we doing this or what?"
Katsuki Bakugo actually found himself laughing. "Oh, we're doing this. You got a plan?"
With a smirk, Izuku held down the red switch on the OhgerCalibur before hitting the purple switch.
"Always."
"Shugod! God Papillon!
Suddenly, the winds began to howl as a giant, purple, mechanical butterfly emerged from the heavens, Izuku jumping inside to helm his great Shugod. "Kacchan, keep him distracted while I subdue Mount Lady, yeah?"
"With fucking pleasure." Katsuki growled, clearly ready for some good old fashioned revenge as he grabbed hold of God Papillon, firing explosion after explosion at the Slime Villain.
"Backdraft, can you focus fire on the slime? I think if we dilute his Quirk enough, he won't be able to control Mount Lady. Death Arms, you have the strength. This fight's going to cause a lot of collateral damage. Sorry about that." Izuku muttered the apology sheepishly. "Can you handle the debris, make sure that nobody's hurt? Kamui Woods, you're on containment. If you can make a ball tight enough that liquid can't escape, you can bring him to the proper authorities. Mount Lady... I'm really sorry about this."
Mount Lady gave the giant butterfly an almost imperceptible nod, the only control she had in her body at the moment. It gave a clear message: Do it.
The other heroes couldn't help it, they were in awe. Normally, they'd be arresting this kid under vigilantism charges but... he clearly had a plan and had prioritized protecting the innocent over taking down the bad guys. What else could they do?
They followed his orders.
The water that Backdraft had been using to keep the bystanders away immediately began making their way towards the slime, diluting it. Slowly but surely, Mount Lady regained more and more control of her own body while Izuku did his damnedest to restrain her with his Papillon.
While all this was happening, Death Arms was making sure that nobody got hurt in the crossfire, catching and even punching large chunks of debris into dust.
Finally, Kamui Woods used his quirk to create a Lacquer Chain Prison unlike any he had created before, weaving the wood born from his quirk so tightly that nothing could escape.
The resulting battle didn't last more than a few minutes, the six working like a well oiled machine, handing the Slime Villain off to the authorities, allowing Izuku to finally de-morph in a flash of light.
Sensing the lecture he was about to get from the heroes, and seeing an opportunity to at least partially explain things to Katsuki while they were getting checked up on, he decided to nip that confrontation in the bud immediately. "Before you say anything, I know I can't be arrested for Vigilantism because that assumes that a Quirk was used. Despite what you saw, I am Quirkless." He held up his arm, with his new Morpher resting as a bracelet. "I can't explain how it works because I'm not quite sure how it works myself, but it's all tech based. My dad works at I-Island and he made this for me so I could be a hero despite my lack of a Quirk."
Was it a half lie? Yeah. Hisashi Midoriya did work at I-Island, but there was no way these heroes would buy "Oh, I formed a contract with a mechanical god and now I have the power of hundreds of superpowered heroes from alternate universes casually on my wrist!"
Death Arms understood the predicament the kid was in. He very clearly wanted to be a hero, but a vigilantism charge would kill that dream pretty quickly. Well, what kinda hero would he be if he shattered a poor kid's dream? "No Quirk huh? Well in that case, I have no issues thanking you for your help." He said with a wink. "We'll be waiting for you two."
After that, the two teenagers walked in silence for a bit. "You were bullshitting the extras, weren't you?" Katsuki finally asked.
Izuku nodded. "Only a bit. There's no way they would've believed me. Hell, it happened to me, and I still barely believe it. I keep expecting all this to be an elaborate dream." Izuku admitted. "You gotta promise me that you won't tell anyone. This is the only chance I got."
Katsuki nodded, patiently listening as Izuku explained everything that had happened to him today, and as unbelievable as it sounded, the fact that he was still alive was proof enough to convince him. "Well, you're right, they would've tossed you in the loony bin if you tried to tell them all that." Katsuki sighed. "Alright, listen. We got ten months until the entrance exam. That means you and me? We got 10 months to train to make you as tough as you can be, got it? I can't have you dragging me down."
Izuku couldn't help but grin. Katsuki might've still been a brash asshole, but if this wasn't an olive branch to rekindle their friendship, he didn't know what was.
Maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all.
