"You are going to die."

Those words echoed in Izuku's head as he pushed himself up, wincing lightly and letting out a heavy breath as he turned to Ikari.

"I'm… i… I finally get powers for the first time in my life and they're deadly?! You gotta be kidding me…" He whined, steadying himself against the wall. "Least the skirt was just an embarrassment issue…"

"I'm sorry that this is the case, mister Midoriya…" Doctor Ikari sighed, before gesturing for Toshinori to grab his 'nephew'. "Please, let us return to my office for now. We have learned all we need to in terms of what you are capable of for now, and I would much rather focus on finding a solution to this new issue."

With that, the brown haired doctor walked back through the room, while Izuku and All Might share a look of worry before following him. They soon found themselves settled into chairs, as a heavy silence hung between them, Ikari seemingly deep in thought.

"…Midoriya." Very suddenly, the quirk doctor broke the silence as he looked up to his patience, a calculating look on his face. "Can you… sense this energy inside you at all?"

"Sort of?" Izuku said with a tone of uncertainty, scratching the back of his head with a sigh. "I can definitely sense something is different at least. I can also sense some kind of energy from this hammer, though it feels… different by like a small amount. Well… sorta."

"Sorta?" Ikari raised a brow.

"Well… I can feel something similar in me but ever so slightly different and yet also I can feel something completely different inside." Izuku frowned. "I'm not making any sense, am I? What I mean is I feel like the power itself is different but there's a part that is the same at the same time. There's three other parts as well that feel almost the exact same but a tiny bit different."

"Well, if I translated that right, a part of the light ray inside you has the same energy as the hammer but it's only a very small amount?" The doctor inquired, getting a nod from Izuku. "Well, perhaps that means there is the potential for similar weapons? Either way it doesn't really help us at the moment."

Izuku blinked, before holding his hand out and focusing. Suddenly a white light appeared in his hand which grew and shifted in shape until suddenly a gigantic water gun formed in his hands, making Ikari and All Might jump out the way in surprise.

"Young Midoriya?" His mentor questioned, before his eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, does that not look the same as the one the young girl you saved had?"

"Y-Yeah… and it has the same energy I mentioned." Izuku inspected the 'weapon' as he thought over the implications of that. "I don't know why but this one just felt…. The easiest to call on. Like the other two didn't want to come out."

"Well that is odd. However I need to ask you to refrain from testing more of your powers mister Midoriya, there are already enough complications as is at the moment." Ikari scolded lightly, making the freckled boy blush lightly as a sheepish look came onto his face and he sat down.

"Sorry doctor."

"I understand; it must be hard to resist the temptation to see everything you can do after spending so many years completely quirkless. I need an assistant for this case…" With that, the brunette stood up and started walking towards the door. "I will do my best to be back as soon as possible, until then keep an eye on your nephew, mister Yagi. If there is another episode, try to walk through him it like we did before."

"Understood."

With that, Ikari left, the student and mentor were now alone. Izuku rubbed his hands on his face as he leaned back and All Might just sighed.

"So… I get powers and death comes knocking five minutes after." Izuku commented, morbid amusement running through him. "You don't think that's a sign, do you?"

"Regarding One For All? Hardly." The skinny blond waved away the notion instantly, smiling despite the situation. "My boy, you are going to live to get One For All, then you will live past that and surpass me one day."

"I-"

"And the reason I know that, is because you are Izuku Midoriya!" His mentor said encouragingly, patting him on the knee. "You got through to this point in life, despite everything it's thrown at you. Even when I was… less than stellar with you, you still rushed into action against the slime villain and you're still here. I'm not one to believe in fate or the like, but if anyone was 'destined' to be a hero my boy, it's you. Nothing, not villains, not naysayers and certainly not some random powers are going to stop you. You're gonna show them who you are and then you're gonna go on to be great."

Izuku couldn't help but smile at that. If there was one thing the number one pro knew how to do, it was give an inspiring speech. Unfortunately, it didn't last for long.

"Thanks All Might. Still… I'm kinda scared." He admitted quietly.

"Well, if you ask me, fear is a good thing."

Izuku looked up in surprise.

"Huh?"

"So long as you don't let it dictate you, control you that is. Fear can be an amazing tool, a power we all share. Keeping us safe and alert, keeping us fast when we need to run, adrenaline pumping through us. Fear can be our friend." The blonde said, in a manner that was far too practiced for it to all be off the top of his head. "My predecessor told me that the same day she chose me for One For All."

"Woah really?!" Izuku asked, eyes sparkling with excitement at the thought of finding out about who trained All Might.

"Yes. I don't talk about her much for personal reasons but I felt this would be an acceptable scenario to bring her up. I've remembered it throughout my whole career whenever a task seemed too daunting for even me, it was part of what kept me going after I got my injury. I didn't know if I was going to survive my boy, if One For All would die with me that day as I stood on weak knees and stubbornly tried to carry on. Point is, I was scared… and that's okay." All Might gave his successor a warm smile, which was returned with a soft smile from Izuku. "You're gonna pull through and be just fine, young Midoriya."

"Thanks, 'uncle' Yagi." Izuku said teasingly, making the blonde laugh.

"Why did you go with the uncle angle anyways?"

"Just thought it would make more sense than you being a random stranger considering you know a fair bit about me and they might have questioned why we were hanging out otherwise with our age gap." Izuku explained, making All Might let out an understanding 'Ah.' "Anyways, I-"

He suddenly stopped as his eyes narrowed, an odd sensation running through him. Then…

"AHHHHHH!"

Their faces both shifted to worry from the sound, sharing looks before Izuku rushed to the nearby window, the sound having come from outside.

He was not prepared for the sight he saw.

Musutafu was drowning in sludge. Very familiar sludge.

"No…"

"My boy, what's- Young Midoriya!" All Might's tone was one of concern, and rightfully so as Izuku opened the window and jumped out of it from one of the highest floors in the building. It quickly faded when Izuku began hovering before taking off into the sky. "Oh yeah, he can fly…"

The freckled teen could only stare in horror as he raised higher into the sky and saw a majority of the city had already been drowned somehow. He could sense something so similar to himself out there and yet distinctly different, more negative… more sinister.

And the slime… It looked familiar.

"It can't… it can't be…"

He was caught off-guard by a sudden ringing noise as if a phone was being called. He looked down to the source, seeing his belt, specifically the centerpiece, was flashing a bright green as it continued ringing.

He blasted down back to the window and dropped inside, his skinny mentor raising a brow at the device.

"No idea, but Musutafu is drowning in very familiar looking slime…" Izuku explained, his mentors look shifting to one of horror, before the freckled boy grabbed the flashing accessory, finding it could slip out of his belt and that it had seams in the middle with two hinges at the back. It flipped open to reveal the bottom half had a few simple buttons, two speakers and a small microphone on its otherwise plain cream colour surface, while the top half of this 'device' had a screen which was currently pitch black. it was only like that for a moment however before suddenly-

"AHHHH! HELP! SOMEBODY!"

"Z…Ray…. bla… All….Might…."

Izuku and Toshinori's eyes both felt their blood run cold, sharing aghast looks at what was presented on screen. There, somehow through means unknown to them, the Slime Villain was in the middle of Musutafu with powerful control over his sludge he'd never had before. He was also surrounded by a pure black, sinister aura to Izuku's eyes.

"He's like me…" The teen whispered under his breath, horrified. Then his eyes sparked as realization hit. "Those black lights that shot off! The white lights were with them until they hit me, I bet he was hit by one of the black ones! Which means- Oh no… that means the Slime Villain might be as strong as I am now…"

"Shit! I can't step in like last time, my time limit already suffered enough, pushing myself again could have serious consequences…." The blonde was clearly conflicted, even as smoke was slowly starting to pour off of him but before he bulked up, he noticed his successor who was looking himself up and down. "Young Midoriya… no, you are not a pro! This is not like last time, this could be much worse-"

"But I'm also way stronger now! Plus maybe the white will cancel out the black somehow." He said, lifting into the air as his mentor glared at him. Izuku sighed. "All Might… he's going to be way stronger now right? If you can't step in to fight, I can at least step in to get people to safety, he was kicking the pro's butts before without being this strong. At the least we can see If me being there will somehow cancel him out."

"Alright fine, but only to get people out of harm's way while I think of a solution my boy! It's far too dangerous for you to risk fighting with these powers right now." The blond relented, getting a nod from Izuku who then grabbed the water gun and giant hammer, storing them away inside himself as they glowed before he took one last look at his communicator. He just blinked at what he was presented with.

"Huh, that's handy…"

"What is?"

Izuku showed his mentor the screen, which had information listed showing the exact street the slime villain was on. He also noted there were a few other screens, one which had a list of contacts like a phone, one with a display of his body and one with a list of people Izuku didn't understand the purpose, which currently only had two names on it. 'Toshinori Yagi' and 'Kenzo Ikari'. 'I wonder…'

He didn't have time to waste on it though, so he quickly typed in All Might's number into the contact area, surprised when calling the man worked and even more surprised when he got a video from the blonde's camera. "Well, at least we can stay in touch. Need to check more of this later but I gotta go now!"

"Be careful, Izuku!"

Izuku nodded before flying out the window once more and feeling a little warm inside. That was the second time today All Might had called him by his first name.

He shook his head, kicking up to full throttle instantly and becoming a green blur of energy as he made it to the main area of the city in record time, seeing the slime spreading beneath him.

He swooped down, trying an attempt to recreate All Might's punch from months prior in a futile attempt to see if he could stop the villain through sheer strength… that plan was quickly met with a resounding 'no' as his fist slipped inside the slime before he pulled away and hurried into the air again.

"Crap, need to think of something else and quick." He grimaced, looking around and spotting a fire hydrant. He zoomed towards it in a green blur, punching the hydrant clean off where it was implanted in the ground, trying not to smirk at how good that felt and making water spray out violently. It did manage to make a small amount of the slime weaker and fall apart but it was overall ineffective. 'Wait, water… ah!'

He held out his hands, the water gun forming once more. He wasted no time dunking the nozzle into the slime and pulling on a small slider which sucked up way more of the Slime then Izuku was expecting, managing to clear half the street surprisingly quickly.

The tank filled up on top of the gun and he pulled it off, letting out a small hum. An idea struck him and he held out his hand, grinning when a second empty tank formed.

That was a secondary priority though. He took off once more as a scream ran out and he traversed around and over buildings, spotting bystanders inside the slime or about to be hit by it. He pulled people out as quick as he could and took them to higher ground, as well as trying to suck up the slime in the process.

Every time he filled a tank he wasted no time taking it to a pile he'd started gathering that in the span of about a minute, quickly grew to have an entire pyramid of them stacked up, no longer able to harm anyone.

"Everything going alright out there, young Midoriya?" All Might asked from the communicator, the audio filled with a small amount of static.

"About as good as I can hope for, no one has drowned yet despite how far the slime has spread. He can't have been holding people for too long…"

A group of kids were running for their lives up ahead, Izuku's eyes widening upon spotting them. The furthest behind the pack tripped and fell as the slime began to overtake him.

"Then just keep saving them my boy! And remember, do not fight the-"

The others didn't look back, instead continuing to run right into a street where a car also attempting to escape the slime was incoming.

"HEY, WATCH OUT!"

He rushed straight for the kids about to get hit, quickly taking them out the way of the car which swerved but stopped before any damage was caused, while Izuku spotted the final kid beneath the slime, likely drowning like he once did.

He wasted no time getting the child out, sucking up the slime and taking the kid to his friends before a determined look settled on his face. 'He's willing to kill even little kids like this…' "Sorry All Might, but someone has to stop him now!"

"Midoriya-"

Wasting no time with arguments, the green haired teen shot off towards where the commutator had told him the villain actually was, barely noticing the eyes in amongst the mound of sludge. He took a calming breath. 'It's okay Izuku, people need saving, you can do this!'

"Hey, you want to fill a place up with your slime? Try this on for size!" he shouted as he landed right near the main body, once more sinking in the nozzle and trying to collect the sludge.

However, this time instead of managing to get it all, a tendril wrapped around his leg and he was suddenly flung into a nearby wall, then another and another.

He threw his arms out as forcibly as he could, making the appendage explode off of him only for four more to try to restrain him, each of which he barely dodged as they had almost got him with the element of surprise. 'Note to self… Crashing into walls… isn't fun even with super durability…'

"Z…Ray…. Black… ray… All Might…." The villain groaned mindlessly, seemingly unaware he was even fighting at the moment. "K-Kill… brats…"

Suddenly, Izuku felt his leg being tugged as an appendage got a hold of him, another taking his water gun and throwing it for miles. 'Crap!'

Then he was taken under the sludge, being forcibly held as he tried to escape to no avail. 'Crap crap crap! Don't drown, don't drown!'

He kicked and flailed aimlessly, trying to just get an opening to breathe…

At least he was until he noticed the fact he didn't feel like he was running out of breath at all. In fact he felt like he was still breathing in clean fresh air despite the position he was in. 'Can… can I breathe without air?! Awesome!'

With that sudden revelation he calmed down, looking around and spotting the main 'body' of the slime villain, where his eyes and teeth, his seemingly only biological features were present.

Izuku would have sighed in relief if he could as his chance made itself known to him and a light green energy trail suddenly blazed through the inside of the slime.

Not expecting the teen to swim through him, the villain had been unprepared for his sudden movement. Izuku managed to move fast enough to punch out a few teeth and elbow an eye, making the creature scream before he was violently ejected from the slime from an unexpected powerful blo, finding himself suspended in the air and coughing up sludge. 'Gross.'

Looking down, his eyes widened as he realized the blow that had knocked him out had come from the villain pulling back all the slime it had previously been throwing out, shifting and growing around the centre point until finally a massive sludge giant stood with a blank stare and a rabid growl.

"Z…ray….white…..kill….."

'I don't know if I'd have called him stable before but he's definitely gotten a lot less intelligible.' Izuku thought, eyes running over the creature and noticing only a few people were still inside, eyes closed and motionless. 'No…'

He turned into a green blur, flying back to get enough of a start before barrelling straight into the slime, rolling out the way of an attempted strike that destroyed the top half of a nearby building while Izuku grabbed the victims inside and pulled them out, dropping them all off at a rooftop and quickly turning them to help them cough up any sludge that had slipped inside their throats or noses.

He didn't have long to help them though once one of them woke up, as he heard another set of screams and turned to see the slime villain had picked up a bus and launched it through the streets, several people inside screaming for their lives. 'You have gotta be kidding me!'

He quickly weaved through the tentacles of slime as he took off once more, coming under the bus and punching a hole straight through the bottom of it before he took it into his grasp, quickly levelling it out as he floated down to the ground. "Everyone, jump out!"

The people inside, though in states of shock, wasted no time following his command and all started escaping through the hole he had made. A few gave him odd looks on the way out but most were too preoccupied with running for their lives.

Just when the last passenger departed and Izuku thought he could finally put his attention back on fighting the sludge villain, yet another scream quickly proved him wrong.

"Kids, look out!"

His attention turned to see two kids frozen in fear and following their line of sight he saw a car flying through the air. With a small growl he quickly readjusted the bus in his grasp, blasting around to the front and grabbing it by the grill before flying towards the car and batting it as hard as he could with the bus back into the slime villain, who let out a cry of agony as he was caught in the teeth.

Izuku wasn't done though, spinning in the air for a moment before sending the bus in after the car, managing to briefly knock a hole into the villain, while the bus landed safely in an empty street below, crashing onto Its side.

Instead of reforming the lost slime, the villain shrunk until his 'wound' was gone and he sent a death glare the skirt-clad boy's way. "You… can't stop me… now…. Hero!"

'Well would you look at that? And people say a bus to the face isn't good for you.' Izuku floated in front of the villain, as his mind started running a million miles a minute. 'Okay so he's definitely a little more 'stable' now for lack of a better word. Only got that way cause he shrunk? Maybe the amount of extra slime he's using was messing with his brain somehow…'

"Die… hero… I'm going to… kill you…"

Remembering what he had noticed on the communicator, the list of people a thought occurred to him and he took out the communicator, where All Might was looking in concerned. "My boy! I told you not to fight!"

"Sorry! Too late to back out now though!" Izuku said, flipping through menus until he got to the list with All Might and doctor Ikari's real names on them. He looked up to the gigantic sludge villain with a glare. "Hey, slime! It's Izuku Midoriya! Remember me?!"

The villain growled before a look of recognition came onto his. "YOU! YOU… BRAT! DIE!"

"Your vocabulary has gotten way too limited." Izuku muttered under his breath as he dodged an appendage coming for him. He also noticed 'Hedro Viran' was now on the list of people stored in his communicator. "Fine, you want me? Come and get me!"

With that, the freckled teen rocketed into the sky in a green streak, making sure the slime was just behind him at all times as the villain reached out for him.

"My boy, what are you doing?!"

"Stretching him out, trying to reduce his intelligence. I'm hoping if I stretch him enough his brain or whatever he has will shut down for a while. Unless you have a better idea? Cause I can safely say the 'cancel each other out' theory is not working."

"…Actually I might have an idea. You may be able to repel him with your white light."

Izuku blinked while checking to make sure the slime villain was still coming after him. "But cancelling-"

"Not cancelling my boy, repelling! I have no idea if this will work or not but it's worth a shot. I used to have a classmate who could create energy meant to repel other kinds of energy. She could do things like remove all the electricity in a machine with her power." The skinny blond explained over the communicator while Izuku felt his face start to freeze. His instincts were screaming at him to turn back now before he entered the vacuum of space but his mind knew he had to stretch out the villain as far as he possibly could. "It's just an idea but perhaps you could do something similar to the black lights!"

'Well, we won't know if we don't try.' "Alright, what do I do?!"

"You muttered something about a black aura back in the hospital, I'm assuming that means you can see it still?" His mentor asked and Izuku paused, before focusing on the energy in the air that the sludge villain was exuding. He dodged the incoming barrage of slime and started flying back down to earth as quickly as possible.

"Yeah! Have to focus but I can see it!"

"Alright and I know you can sense your own energy from earlier so you need to try pushing out your energy onto the slime villain! Reach deep inside yourself my boy and bring it all out!"

"Yes sir!"

Izuku's gaze hardened as his body began to glow. His bracelet and anklet trims turned white, his green glow grew brighter and to his eyes his own white aura started to appear around him as he came upon the main body of the slime villain whose eyes had gone blank once more.

"Z…Ray… brat… white… die…."

"Alright 'Hedro', let's see if you can withstand this!" Izuku called as he reached the villain and punched with all his might, hand sinking into the slime villain. There was a brief moment where it seemed ineffective before suddenly the villain glowed black and the black light ray exploded into the sky, before shooting off in another direction. 'Dammit, now that could go to anyone…'

He didn't have time to dwell on that though as the black glow faded away and the villain shrunk, revealing his normal self, the version Izuku remembered from when he'd attacked him and his childhood friend, Bakugou.

"Ugh… stup…id.. brat-ugh…" 'Hedro' suddenly fell forward, crashing against the ground and not moving. 'I'm going to hope that means my plan worked just as well as All Might's.'

Izuku smiled for a moment before he noticed that despite the lack of the black "Z-Ray" as the now unconscious had kept calling it, there was still all the newly created sludge hanging around. He looked up, only to grimace as he saw a barrage of slime coming down.

Looking around, he spotted another fire hydrant and appeared beside it, knocking it clean off where it was embedded in the ground with a punch. Then as water began to spray into the air he quickly formed his water gun again in his hand, quickly sucking up the water into the empty tank before he took off and aimed for the slime, firing a powerful spray of water he was ninety percent sure actually had more water than he had taken into the weapon.

It wouldn't do much but it would at least weaken the sludge enough that it would hopefully not cause any more serious issues for anyone. With that dealt with, he quickly put on a new tank and came to the slime villain, sucking him up into a final tank before he could wake up and potentially escape.

He looked around, spotting a convenience store nearby and rushing inside, finding a roll of bin bags and tearing off a few. He felt slightly guilty for 'stealing' but he felt stopping an incredibly dangerous villain was a good enough reason to be let off the hook. He took off the tank, throwing it inside the first bag before he started wrapping up bags within bags and tying each of them closed. If All Might had been able to seal the villain in a plastic bottle without issue then he should be able to breathe still with this solution as well.

With that handled, he also grabbed a nearby notebook and some stationery, tearing out a page and explaining the basics of the slime villain just whoever found him didn't know how to handle the villain's quirk so no one would accidentally let them loose.

With that done, he dropped the bag and the note into the street, stapling the note to the bag before returning the stationery and notebook where he found them and taking off into the sky, noticing the building where he'd been storing all the slime nearby.

It only took him a couple seconds to make his way over, floating down onto the rooftop and walking towards them. 'Now what do I do with these? Do I just drop them with the villain or-'

"Halt! Who are you?!" A familiar voice asked, making Izuku whip around to see a man in a navy bodysuit, with wooden arms, a wooden belt and a helmet glaring lightly at him. "I've never heard of a pro like you before… "

'Crap, it's Kamui Woods! Quick, think! A name, think of a name.'

"I'm uh- I'm Z-Ray!" Izuku said, standing with as much confidence as he could muster.

"Nice costume, Z-Ray." The pro hero snorted, as he held out a hand, roots starting to slowly grow. 'Oh no.' "Now, are you a pro… or a vigilante?"

"Well, b-before I answer that… these tanks have a-all the extra slime the villain created." The freckled teen explained, very slowly lifting his feet off the ground so that it was almost imperceptible when he was now hovering instead of standing. "Y-You should know what to do with it. A-As for what I am… I'mgonenowbye!"

With that panicked shout he took off into the sky before Kamui could restrain him, flying as fast as he was capable of towards the hospital, where he saw the open window and All Might waving for him to come in.

He quickly sat down on the chair after, heaving out a sigh and looking to see his mentor was looking at him unamused. "For the record, if I was your real uncle, I would be making sure you got grounded tonight for sure."

Izuku flinched but nodded in understanding, only to be caught off-guard when a hand landed on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw a smile on his mentors face.

"On the other hand I'll admit that was rather impressive for your first time fighting a villain and I'm proud of you."

"All Might…." The teen could only smile to himself, before realizing that doctor Ikari was still absent. "Wait how long was I gone?"

"Maybe ten minutes? It definitely wasn't any more than fifteen, I'm not sure where doctor Ikari-"

The lanky man was cut off by the door suddenly opening, Ikari and a woman with red hair hurrying in.

"Sorry, so sorry! It seems there was a large scale villain attack and I was required to help a few victims who were brought in." The doctor explained, looking a little more dishevelled than before. "Fortunately it seems they will all survive but still, I apologize for taking so long after we discovered the severity of your own condition."

"That's alright doctor." Izuku said, honestly more relieved he took so long as it meant he wouldn't have to explain why he was missing. He then turned to the new woman and a thought struck him as he took out his communicator. 'Pretty confident I proved my theory with the villain but can't hurt to make sure.' "Also I um… I think I figured out something about these powers as well, if you'll let me test it? I don't need to do anything intensive or that, just tell someone my 'identity.'"

"I suppose I can allow that." The brown haired man shrugged, watching curiously as Izuku took out his communicator and pulled the list up again. "My assistant by the way, Fumiki Kawano."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Izuku Midoriya." The green haired boy greeted, watching as the woman's name then appeared on the list as a surprised look came onto her face.

"Oh my, you look completely different." She blinked in surprise. "Now that is odd."

"Yeah, well I think I've solved one mystery. If I tell someone my name, they can see how I really look and they'll come up on a list on this." He said, showing them all. Then he noticed a button marked with an 'X' "Actually… I think there is a delete button. May I try it on you?"

"Well, I suppose there will be no harm as this doesn't seem to be the same as your intensive powers." Ikari muttered, before nodding to his assistant."

"Please, go ahead." She gave her permission, so Izuku clicked on the X and a box came up with two options.

' - Temporarily

- Permanently'

He clicked on the permanent option, the name disappearing from the list.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you there, sir." The woman said, before looking around. "Odd… could have sworn someone else was here a moment ago."

Ikari, All Might and Izuku just shared looks.

"It was me miss, Izuku Midoriya." Izuku said, watching her eyes light up in recognition.

"Ah, my that's so… odd! You looked completely different yet again and not like the first time. It's like I forgot you existed for a moment."

"Well, that definitely solves at least part of the mystery of why we were all seeing you as something different." Doctor Ikari said with a small smile, while Izuku used this new found information to delete 'Hedro' from the list of people who knew who he was. He'd been wanting to grab the monster's attention in the moment and hadn't really thought of the potential consequences of revealing who he was to the villain but now, there would be no consequences at all!

"Now then, the reason I brought Kawano with me is because she can sense energy of any sort, which I thought could prove useful for finding out when-"

"Ah, three energy signatures are spiking up inside him!" The woman suddenly interrupted, and as if on cue, searing pain shot throughout Izuku's body for the second time that day as he fell to his knees.

"AHHHHH!"

"Young Midoriya!"

"Quick, focus on what you did last time, bring them under control!"

Izuku's screams didn't stop as his body felt like it was being ripped apart, breathing heavily as he gripped the ground, vision blurring and focus fading. It was worse than before and he could quickly feel his grip on reality fading.

He vaguely registered something being put near his mouth, instinctively swallowing once something that felt a lot like hair was put onto his tongue.

Then… everything went black.
