Brute Force Algorithm Ch. 10

Nekoboy13- do not worry, there is a need for this many, however miniscule they might be, some of the, which is about 4-5 are important, while the rest I assure you are meant to play ONE important, very important role. Which if I divulged, might give away what I plan to do, but your right, I really don't need anymore. So no more after this Chapter

Nakana99- Thank you

Hey guys, I've been gone for a long time, wow eight months sure goes by fast, but I came back, like a seasonal rash. Ready to continue where I left off, first I had computer problems for like two months. Then by that time I had so much college work I didn't even know what to do, I even got promoted at work so I work in an office now so that's nice, but it leaves even less freedom for me now. Sometimes I feel so old now and I'm only twenty. Also please excuse if there are any errors in this chapter, pretty sure there aren't but I could be wrong. Honestly I felt like I forgot something which of course I did because its been eight months. But if you guys spot anything let me know. The next chapter should be right as rain since I wont be leaving sitting on my desktop for eight long months.

Looking back now, this might have been the moment where everything started going wrong…

Izuku's Pov

A few weeks had passed since I had seen Dexter, I have been so caught up in school and training with All-Might, and he with his hero work and business endeavors. I still met up with Bless at school and helped Mei with inventions after school, sometimes bringing the occasional spare part from the lab that was under the do not take policy, reason being that Dexter did not want any tech that are world didn't yet have leaking out. Not dangerous per say but rather ahead of our time by a decade or two.

Bless was rather preoccupied with other things seeing as her mother was trying to connect with her while her father was not around as much, however whether or not the feelings are reciprocated is another matter.

Walking out of the school for the end of the school day was just like any other, sort of bland by now. Not that his lessons were useless, it's just that the only course that I tried putting actual passion in was the hero education classes because any other class just didn't provide a challenge for me and Bless. We saw Bubbles teaching some of the English classes, Buttercup helping out in Physical Education, Bell with filing in the teachers work office and Blossom was the counselor.

Walking down the side walk I saw Bless walking with her mother who always tagged along with her regardless of what disagreement that Bless vocalized. I waved at her and she smiled and waved back. Blossom saw and whispered something into Bless's ear, who then blushed red and speed walked down the street.

As I walked down the street I started heading towards Dexter's company. That would be where I'd usually meet up with All-Might for training, even with an enhanced body there's only so much that I can take. Walking to the building I saw All-Might in his regular civilian form standing out in front of the building.

"Midoriya, my boy, some now we have much to work on." All-Might said

We headed inside of the building and went down into the lab as it had all the equipment needed to test progress. Once we finally reached the bottom floor we found that it was empty devoid of Dexter.

"Hmmm he did say he had a business meeting today, perhaps that is where he currently is." All-Might said

"He's been gone a lot recently, it's like we hardly see him anymore." Izuku said

"That's is the kind of life that he has chosen, an admirable one that I too have done, most heroes make their hero work their primary source of income or use their reputation to get them sponsors, we however do not, we try to build lives and jobs outside of that and it takes a lot of devotion to keep those lives separate." All-Might said

"Yeah I guess." Izuku said still somewhat sad. He had wanted to show Dexter his aced grades in all of his classes, sure it may be a childish thing to think of but Dexter was probably the only one that could appreciate such intellectual perfection. Izuku liked to show that all of that time learning from him was not wasted even if he was going to be a hero.

From there they proceeded to train from either pushing large lab equipment around the room to using a very durable punching bag comprised of a gel almost like putty. We trained together for hours on end just trying to improve my control over one for all. After a while All-Might cell phone rang and he answered it having a conversation that he could only vaguely pick up. After he was done talking he looked at Izuku.

"Midoriya come here!" he called

I went over wondering what he was going to say as he wore a thoughtful expression.

"Midoriya I am letting you know now that I will more than likely be caught up in more work now so I will not be able to supervise your training sessions anymore. However, I do not believe you need me for any practices any longer. To be honest there was never that much I could teach you considering the fact that I had to teach myself. I have pressing matters to attend to." All-Might said

"Its ok I understand." Izuku said

"Good then I will see you at school." All-Might said waving goodbye as he walked towards the elevator.

Izuku stood there thinking about how….silent things were becoming. So he continued practicing with things as silent as ever. Is this what Dexter was used to? It was comforting sometimes, but things get very lonely.

Bless's Pov

"What do you want?" Bless asked tiredly after a long monotonous day of school

"You heading home?" Blossom asked expectantly

As they made their way outside of the school Blossom kept asking questions that Bless would either ignore or answer with a grunt.

As they were at the gate Bless turned around to see Izuku also walking out a little bit behind because they usually went their separate ways after school now that Izuku trained with All-Might more. She still waited by the gate though to say proper farewells for the day. As she waved her mother leaned down and whispered something into her ear.

"So how long have you guys been dating?" she asked

Bless immediately stopped waving and blushed before grabbing her mother's arm and dragging her down the sidewalk. After a while she let go and looked at her extremely miffed.

"What is your problem? Why are you still following me even though I told you my dad said to stay away?" Bless said

"Well I thought I'd accompany you." Blossom said

Right before they left the corner of the school Blossom's sisters and Bell caught up with them flying down to meet up with them.

"Hey." Bell said

"Hiii!" said Bubbles happily

"Sup squirt." Buttercup said smacking Bless in the back

"Ok ok, one I could just barely handle but all of you, you've got to go." Bless said

"Listen were stuck here until your father decides to help us." Buttercup said

"What do you mean when he decides to help you, he doesn't have to do anything." Bless said somewhat irritated

"All's I'm saying is that he has to help us, once we beat him, and were gonna beat him." Buttercup said confidently

"Buttercup you shouldn't be belittling Dexter in front of his daughter." Bubbles said

Bless just continued walking trying to ignore them.

"Haven't you hounded on him enough?" asked Bell

"Listen, if Dorkster actually believes he can beat us then fine, but I highly doubt that someone that does nothing but stay in a stuffy lab all day and night can fight.

Dexter's Pov

Dexter was currently walking through an isle of people melded to their seats in a coating of titanium with the only thing visible being their faces. Everyone was wearing masks as Dexter went person to person removing masks and taking pictures.

"Pardon me, excuse me, hey don't I know you. Ayyyye Mr. Yamato, CEO of that Support Conglomerate. What was its name again? It escapes me at the moment." Dexter said

"What is it that you want?" he asked through gritted teeth

"Nothing….. just pictures, evidence….I kinda got this whole plan going on. Anyways you guys are a part of an underground fight ring, which is really disgusting. I hope you people will make a drastic change in your lives." Positive Dexter said

"Dexter we've gotten everything that you need." Said Kasumi whispering into Dexters ear so that the surrounding people would not hear.

"Excellent lets head out, we still have to meet up with our constituent." Dexter said

Earlier that Day

With so much to do this morning Dexter had to split up for the day in order to tackle today's todo list. While he was in his room he split going over the todays agenda.

"Why the fuck am I handling all the business related shit!"

"Yes, well remember the last time I handled business related contracts." Positive said

"Oh yeah you said yes to the first deal we were presented, you didn't argue at all, I really got to ask, what is wrong with you?" Negative asked

"Hey it seemed like a good idea at the time." Positive said

"Let's just get this day over with!" Negative said

After a while they both had gotten dressed in suits and Negative left for the company building and Positive going to Dextopia

Dextopia

"Good morning everyone, how is everyone doing in paradise?!"

Positive heard a crying cheer with some people waving at him. He then made his way to the tower where the Protocore's energy radiated and where the more combat oriented personal tended to hang out.

Most of the team was monitoring the happenings in the world that involved any underground crime syndicates. They were all listening to radio chatter. This effort was fruitless for the most part, they only ever heard governments or small crime teams. Huge Crime Syndicates tend to send personal messengers so that information only came from word to one mouth.

"Sir!"

"Nice to see everyone going about their business, we do however have a small chore that I want to get over with very quickly." Dexter said before flicking a holo screen from his hand into the center of the room and expanded.

"The CEO's and wealthy individuals involved with support companies from all around the globe counting the USA, Russia, China, Asia and Africa are all flying into London for a convention to show off their equipment that are in their prototype stages. Now while not inherently wrong, it has been noted in the past that their models go missing however this word never actually leave the company, so the public never knows. Criminal activity is also noted to spike during these times. Lastly London is most known for its huge underground illegal fighting rings. Of course after the conventions they stay a week afterwards even though there is no need to. Its just a hunch but I believe some of these powerful people might be involved" Dexter explained

"There will be no confrontation but ill need Houjou and Ben in order to be my guards for show. The rest of you stay on standby." Dexter said

Houjou and Ben then both went to go get ready, after a while they both came out dress as body guards in black suits.

"Ok, lets start heading out, theirs someone who I've been keeping and eye out for. He'll be vital for meeting up with the VIP's without having any huge problems." Dexter said as the three of them walked through a portal.

London

It was currently very misty in the morning with very few people up and about. Their portal opened up in a vacant ally way.

"Our contact will be Morgan Maddox, he's been searched and investigated multiple times in his life by the police, his job unknown, parents deceased and is currently the caretaker of his sister. We'll be paying him a visit." Dexter said

"So where is he?" asked Ben

Dexter then pointed right across the ally way.

Morgan's Pov

Waking up to my alarm clock I got up from my bed and opened the door to my sister's room.

"Come on, wake up, time to get ready for school." Morgan said as he flicked on the light, disturbing his little sister from her slumber.

Going to his room he opened his closet to show the suit that he usually wears when he is working.

"Today's the day Morgan, your gonna walk up to the boss and tellem straight, I can't work here anymore." Morgan said

Morgan had been watching over his sister for about as long as he could remember, one day his parents just up and left without a word. He'd been in so many mob back in the day but had managed to slip away every time right before the cops arrived. He always did have a way with words, it's the reason he got his job in the first place, but now he wants out, its just a matter if they'll let him walk away or not. He's been wanting to live straight now that his sister is starting to wonder how he's been paying for their expenses. Right as he was just about finished tying his tie he heard his sister call out.

"Morgan there some people at the door!"

Morgan stood ramrod straight for a few seconds, his mind cycling through the possibilities, a rival gang…no, his boss…. No, then who, who could it possibly be.

Walking gingerly and swiftly down the stairs he made his way down stairs to see a man in a white suit and two others in black suits.

"Ahhh good morning Mr. Maddock, a pleasure to finally meet your acquaintance. I hope I did not bother you at an inopportune time, there are a few things I'd like to ask of you." The man said

"Uhh I'm kind of in a hurry soo.." Morgan said as he begins to close the door.

"It's a shame, I really thought you wanted out of that job." The man said

Morgan then stopped the door right before it closed, his body tensing up, feeling his body begin to sweat. How did he know, who was he affiliated with, and why come to him, these questions ran through his mind. He was so low on the chain of command that he never really thought he'd be suspected of anything. He didn't play that big of a part, which was both good and bad, he made a good announcer but in the end a person is always expendable.

"Come in." Morgan said slightly forced but believing that he could eventually talk his way out of this.

They sat down in the living room with Morgan sitting on the opposite side of the other people.

"Listen I don't know what you need but I really don't amount to much, so there really isn't much I can do for you guys."

"Oh but Morgan, I believe that there is a great deal of things that you could contribute. You see I require your "word" in order to acquire safe passage into one of your opening nights" Dexter said

"And if I don't?" Morgan asked testing the waters.

"Then we leave." He said

"You just leave, that's it?" Morgan asked

"Well keep in mind that we will be attending the event with or without your word, which will inevitably end with your capture considering once the authorities arrive your name will be on file." He said

"If your doing this regardless of what I say then why bother coming at all." Morgan asked

"As creepy as this sounds I have researched each and every person in your group, you're the only one that has any family worth keeping, your sisters a good kid, so I offer you this one chance, to get out. You can make things slightly less problematic for me and benefit greatly or rot in a cell by the end of the day." Dexter said frankly

Needless to say he made the obvious choice in assisting them which led to where they are now.

Flashback End

"Good good, don't worry gentlemen I'll be putting this information to good use." Dexter said putting the photos in his jacket.

As they walked outside he met Morgan outside.

"You have upheld your end of the bargain, pleasure doing business with you." Dexter said handing Morgan a suitcase filled with specific documents and funds.

"Enjoy!" Dexter said opening a portal and walking thru with his crew

It was already late in Japan by this time.

A Brief recount of Negatives Day

Nope, not gonna happen, and ill kick your ass out of my office were some of the nicest things he had said all day. With his no tolerance for shit one could imagine how dominating Negative was in the office. ProtoLabs was the best up and coming company. Many wanted to make deals with them but only those

willing to conform to him would be accepted. Problems such as transportation of products would be delivered by his company. He didn't really trust others to keep track of everything so as to not be stolen.

Oh how he wanted to punch some of the business men but alas, they'd always run away before he made it across the table.

Blossom

The day had progressed so slowly to anyone else but for her time seems to have flown by.

After she had left Bless a while back she flew right back to the ground of UA, it was already starting to get dark outside. After she got back she walked through the dark and empty halls of UA coming to a stop at a door where light was clearly visible from underneath the door. After she opened the door she walked in silently to see her sisters, Bell and the teachers sitting on one side of the room with a table in front of them. On the opposite side were Katsuki, Todoroki and Uraraka.

"Can we get this over with already, its so fucking late, its already dark outside. You bastards better hurry up and explain why were still here!" Bakugou said exasperated and angry for the large amount of time spent at school.

"Did we do something wrong? Uraraka asked worry evident in her voice because of the whole faculty present.

"Not at all, quite the contrary actually, we have a proposition for you three actually." Said Nedzu

Todoroki just kept silent all the while analyzing the situation.

"Well come on then, fucking say it already." Bakugou

"In just a few weeks' time UA will be having its annual sports festival, these members of our faculty have a bit of a bet going on with another individual, they were wondering if you'd like to be under their tutelage in exchange for one of you three beating the opposing parties choices." Nedzu explained

Todoroki and Uraraka were silent while Bakugou immediately fired off with his choice words.

"What makes you think that I need anyone's help, I'll win this entire thing all on my own, not my fault you made such a stupid bet. If that all you guys got I'm heading home, you guys have wasted my time, my mom gonna blow a fucking gasket." Bakugou said heading out

"What if I told you the person you'd be fighting was Izuku Midoriya." Blossom said with a serious tone

Right before Bakugou was going to open the door he paused with one hand on the door knob

"What does that useless Deku have to do with this?!" Bakugou growled out

"He's been receiving help for quite a while, its one of the main reasons that he had a chance to attend UA. If you want to win we can help."

"You think I can't win without your help!" Bakuguo growled out

"More like we know your gonna lose, and so will the rest of you." Buttercup spoke up

"You see young Bakugou, Midoriya is using a new system of teaching that we will be implementing in a short amount of time, the purpose of which is to pair up students with a hero willing to teach them their trade, experience or just tips. Midoriya and Bless both have a hero willing to give them both private lessons. You've seen how quickly Midoriya can catch on to even the briefest of concepts. He beat you in the practice exam mainly by quick thinking and already knowing your tendencies." Nedzu clarified

"You want to do this with only so little time left until the festival, surely you have something else up your sleeves if you want us to win so badly." Todoroki said speculatively

"Yeah isn't 2 weeks' notice not enough time." Uraraka said nervous about the expectation

"You'll be given some Chemical X that blossom keeps on person at all time." Dib said explaining

"It's something they themselves use that give them a power boost so to speak." He continued

"But what exactly does it do?" Todoroki asked again

"That's the thing were not sure of, Chemical X by its very nature is very unpredictable, Blossom was given Ice Breath, Bubble has a Sonic Scream, and Buttercup can make Tornados, with each one being wildly unique. However, its effect are never permanent and must be taken periodically." Otto then explained further

"How long does it take for it to take affect?" Uraraka asked

"It should be almost instantaneous." Blossom said while producing 3 vials of a black liquid from her inner lab coat pocket.

"This is by no mean mandatory, if you want to leave that's fine but know that no one is allowed to hear anything that we have told you all, especially Midoriya or Bless, is that clear." Blossom said giving them a chance to refuse.

Bakugou wasted no time in grabbing a vial, uncorking it and downing it. He refused to let Deku show him up after all this time, he hated the fact that someone who was so useless for so long to just come and upstage him.

Todoroki took the next vial and drank it moderately. If there was any chance that this would help his ice side of his quirk then he would use it. His hatred for his father made him so distasteful to the fire side of his quirk that he absolutely refused to use it. If there is a chance that he never have to rely on it then he'll take it.

Last was Uraraka who took the last one tentatively before slowly drinking the liquid. If this would help her being a hero easier then she'd be one step closer to helping her parents live happy lives.

After they all drank the vials they felt no different from how they had been before, it was as if nothing happened.

"No playing around with your new powers, you'll each get to test them out tomorrow, until the festival takes place you each will be training with one of the PPG.". Nedzu explained

Todoroki is with Blossom- They both looked at each other with calculating eyes

Bakugou is with Buttercup- "Tch, what are you gonna teach me?" Bakugou said. "I'm gonna teach you some manners right after I kick your butt!" Buttercup responded

Lastly Uraraka is with Bubbles- They both waved happily at each other

"You are all free to go home now, I bid you all a good night." Nedzu said

Every teacher and the three students left until it was only Aizawa and Nedzu left.

"Are you sure this is a wise course of action to take Nedzu, we are directly involving students in a dilemma that does not involve them." Aizawa asked

"Aizawa, if you asked me this entire ordeal is unnecessary, however people like Dexter will do whatever it takes to vindicate themselves, he himself must realize subconsciously that at some point he has to help whether he wants to or not. However, if we were to immediately force him he would hate them more, and if we waited for him to help he would always be unwilling, I plan to fix that problem before such an event can occur. Have you ever seen such a tragic lovers quarrel?" Nedzu finished

"I question if were both seeing the same thing Nedzu." Aizawa said

They both left soon afterwards.

ONE WEEK LATER with Izuku Midoriya

Izuku woke up the when his door opened revealing his mother who woke him up.

"Izuku, dear wake up, we have guests here today, get ready quickly." She said happily

Once he was done he went out to find his mother sitting at the breakfast table along with Dexter and Bless. He sat down at the table as his mother and Dexter were in a conversation, the contents of the conversation being on how proud they each were of their respective children.

"Hey Bed Head!" Bless giggled as Izuku himself realized that he had forgotten to comb his hair as it was all shifted to the right of his head.

"How was I supposed to know you'd guys be here. Whats the occasion anyways?" Izuku said as he tried to fix his hair by ruffling it.

"Well I'm glad you asked, you see Izuku the UA Sports Festival is drawing close, so close in fact that I have so new equipment that I'd like you and Bless to try out, another reason that I am here though is to invite your mother to the Sports Festival. I bought tickets in advance with the best money can buy." Dexter said

"Oh that sound like a great idea, I'll get to see you up close in the festival Izuku." Inko said happily

After that they went through a normal breakfast and afterwards headed out.

"Thank you for the breakfast Inko, it was absolutely delicious, I will have Izuku back before nightfall." Dexter said

Then then got in Dexter's car and drove to the ProtoLabs Company building.

With the hood down all of their hair was blowing in the air.

"I have got a whole lot of stuff for you kids, passing this festival is gonna be like a walk in the park." Dexter said

Both Bless and Izuku were excited to hear about more inventions that they'd get to test. It was practically living the dream. It was impossible to think of what to do next because nothing was ever really outside the realm of possibility.

As they were driving down a winding road on the edge of a cliff a green portal suddenly burst with a shocking boom and a figure crashing out of said portal and making an imprint on the side of the cliff. The figure was clouded by all of the dust that was knocked up due to the force of impact. A tall, fit and muscular form could be seen lumbering through the dirt cloud coughing.

Once the cloud cleared it revealed a man in a black and white suit, the letter D on his chest, and a white cape. His skin was that of a Caucasian, eyes that glowed a bright green, and fiery white hair all accompanied with an ethereal glow.

Izuku and Bless both stood up on the seats of the roofless car while Dexter was crouching down low behind the steering wheel looking on in nervousness. Why? Because he's questioning why this all happens to him.

"OK that just happened, everyone stay here, you have questions and they will be answered afterwards.

"But dad we can help!" Bless said getting up to get out with Izuku doing the same.

"Bless if you step out of this car I will ground you from all electronics, there's probably going to be some form of law enforcement here soon and I am not explaining to them why I let a minor fight, same for you Izuku, I will tell your mother, besides if I'm lucky this won't be a fight, just a friendly talk. NOW STAY!" Dexter said closing the car door.

He took out two metallic orbs from his pockets and squeezed them in his hands as they smushed and molded to his hands crawling across his body until it became his full hero suit.

Walking up to the figure that was still coughing.

"Hey man you ok, you see if you have the time id very much like to know how you came to be in this spot, at this exact time?" Dexter asked point both pointer fingers at the ground.

The figure turned quickly towards Dexter raising a hand that seems to glow green with some form of energy before it died down just as quickly.

"Wait a second, I remember that Russian accent anywhere, Dexter!

"You know me." Dexter asked curiously

"Yeah your that guy that would always say that ghosts don't exist and would get in scientific arguments with my parents, what are you doing here?" he asked with Dexter deadpanning

"Ok, 1 I asked you first, second I still stand by my previous statement, those things are not ghosts." Dexter said

"Oh I was just trying to out run a horde of ghosts in the ghost zone after I took the crown of Pariah." He said pulling out a crown that was surrounded by a even darker green flame.

"Ok that's nice, but one I don't know who that is, and I'm sorry for not asking earlier but what's your name again I know your last name is Fenton." Dexter asked

"Names Danny, this crown belongs to the King of the Ghost Zone, also where'd you get a car like that in times like this? He said looking over Dexter's shoulder

"What are yo…." Dexter started before a ghoulish shriek came from the portal that for some reason still had not closed.

"That should have closed by now!" Danny said getting serious, lighting up both hands with green energy.

"Fucking hell, how many constitutes as a horde?" Dexter asked
" I'd say about one hundred…..give or take about twenty." Danny said

"….Well you look like you've got this handled, ill just be on my way. Dexter said backing up, however right as he was doing so Danny held the left side of his stomach in pain.

Dexter took a sharp intake of air before looking back at Izuku and Bless who were both looking at the portal with just a bit of fear, but also with mild curiosity.

Suddenly a whole swarm of green phantasmal apparitions came rushing out in unison, swirling into the air before coming to a halt and many glowing red eyes staring down at them.

"Come one we got this!" Danny said as he fired ectoplasmic shots at the swarm causing it to charge at the duo.

"Computer transmit any weapon data to my suit that may be useful against these creatures!

"Not enough data to properly ascertain needed items." Computer replied

"Anything to contain this threat?" he asked hurriedly

"Computer do I have anything for a situation like this?" he asked

"Negative." She replied

Danny shot rapidly into the swarm each hit taking down a ghoul. The dust was starting to pick up even more so now.

Dexter created a bright star that flew straight into the swarm and blew up into a bright explosion, unfortunately the only assistance they provided was momentary rest as the ghosts were blinded but harmed in no way.

Both men had slowly kept their eyes on the crowd of ghost as they side stepped in front of Dexter's car with Danny shooting any that attempted to stray from the group and tried to attack on their sides. Seeing that the two men had nowhere to run two with Midoriya and Bless in the car they spread out and all at once charged toward them.

However before they made contact Dexter had made another bright explosion via star. When the light finally died down they all saw Dexter standing in front of his comrade and family, shielding them from the bright light with his cape. They all resumed their charge but as they did their eyes grew wide when as soon as Dexter lowered his cape Danny came into view appearing to be taking a huge breath before letting loose an absolutely loud Ghostly Wail which gave the three humans goosebumps whether or not they were actually scared.

The wail tore through the swarm of ghouls while also creating cracks on the edge of the mountain and uprooting the pavement, blowing it all away. Each and every ghost took the full brunt of the attack and their forms were slowly tearing apart as if small droplets of green goo were being blown off, loosing a piece of themselves bit by bit.

When it all ended every ghost had been turned into nothing more than one large puddle of goo.

Danny immediately took a knee with heavy breathing.

"Man I've done that to many times today." Before he reverted to his black haired, blue eyed state.

"Sometimes…..I really miss how simple life used to be, what happened to bring me to this moment, to this future." Danny said somberly

Now Dexter thought…Danny was indeed a powerful person, and his sudden appearance would more than likely mean more encounters of the paranormal-ish. To tell UA would be giving them another person that would potentially drag him back to his dimension of origin.

"Undoubtably you have many questions, most of which I will be able to answer to a certain degree, while I was not there for whatever you have experience I can tell you how this all began. All I ask is that you control your emotions when this information is given to you" Dexter said

"All this time, the one thing I've been looking for is answers. Not of all the villains, but how this all came to be so easily, so many hero's dead, so many loved ones gone…. forever. If there's anything you know then ill do whatever you ask." Danny said while looking at a worn photo that showed signs of grime and burned edges before then stuffing it back into his pocket.

"Yes…..well we'll have to make it to my home before I can tell you anything else, prying ears and all that." Dexter said

Danny then fell down to tired to get up. Dexter then attempted to pick him up to put him in the passenger seat however he was heavier then he seemed. He kept trying to lift him until he felt and heard a pop in his back. His eyes were wide as he let out a silent scream/groan.

Midoriya and Bless looked at him with a look of both worry and question. Question in the fact that if they really heard what they did.

"Dexter…are you ok….it sounded like your ba…" Midoriya started

"Not one word…I just didn't stretch today" Dexter said with both hands on the hood of the car.

"Bless, be a dear and put Mr. Fenton in the car." Dexter said with a snap of his fingers.

As she did so Dexter started to make his way toward the driver side before he felt something cold enter him, and everything went dark.

IZUKU's Pov

"Dad…Dad are you ok!" Bless said shaking her father, who was unresponsive even though it seemed that he was awake.

Midoriya was about to try something as well before I felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned around to meet Danny who had come out of his short nap form exhaustion. He handed him what looked to be a thermos.

"Your gonna need to put those ghosts in there, just walk up to that puddle and open it." Danny said

I took the thermos walking up to the puddle that looked to had shrank some. I cautiously opened up the thermos before pointing the thing at the puddle. Suddenly the entirety of the puddle of goo was being sucked up into the thermos that looked to impossibly small to contain it all.

As I made my way back towards the car I handed the thermos back to the man. Dexter seemed to have come out of whatever it was that ailed him.

"Come on get in, we still got time to do all that was planned for today, people will come sooner or later" Dexter said

As I got in I had realized that throughout this entire ordeal, not once was I scared or felt fear. More than likely it had to do with the fact that this did not feel anything like a life or death situation. Midoriya was sure that if it was him and Bless in that situation they would have surely lost. Being around such certainty stirred a feeling inside him. If he wanted to be anything like All-Might, the symbol of peace than what would be required of him. Experience was something that Midoriya and Bless both craved. However at every turn Dexter would tell them to wait until they have their hero licenses.

All-Might, the symbol of peace, a pillar that society currently relied on, one that would undoubtably need to be replaced eventually and regrettably, for he too grew weak, just as every human does. It was only by his will and spirit that he held on this long, the power he had given to him slowly but surely running dry.

An image of All-Might appearing in his head holding a multi-colored power that represented One for All.

Then there is Dexter, the man, teacher, and the closest thing he had to a father figure in a sense. He, who had by his own merit, created a thing that could form anything with a mere thought, provided that the user has a more than simple understanding of the inner workings. However as much a Midoriya wished that Dexter would alleviate some of the stress on All-Might as the symbol of peace he knew that would not happen. Dexter helped him because he can view his progress, how he appreciates everything that he does for him, because in a way they were similar. Dexter had no intention of taking up a hero mantle forever, everything he did now he does simply out of spite for the powerpuff girls and his pride to never settle for mediocrity. He was in a way his own symbol, neutral, absolute, he was progress.

In his head an image of Dexter stood looking into his palm with the Protocore there, the reflection visible in his glasses. Unmoving and studying.

He learned one important thing from each, from All-Might it was to never give up, from Dexter it was to adapt.

Before my mind could move on to more nervous thoughts I was disturbed by a friendly touch on my hand, warm and welcoming. I looked to see Bless trying to get my attention, it seems that we had made it to their house.

As they made their way inside the house Dexter had closed one of the guest rooms behind him.

"Computer see to it that our guest receives the appropriate medical attention and watch over him. Also be on the look out for any energy signatures matching this one." Dexter said as his hand lit up with a green thick energy similar to Danny's.

It was so quick I almost believed that it was Proto energy but seeing it so much I could tell the difference between the too…when had he had the time to analyze Danny?

"Come now we have much to do in order to prepare you all for what is to come." Dexter said as he opened one of the many entrances to his lab.

Once we had reached the bottom Dexter walked up to a spacious circular room.

"Bless, sweetie, you've shown me that you have the utmost control, throughout your life, never once have you given me a reason to doubt the path you are taking, even if I do wish you'd choose another profession. So it is my duty as a father to prepare you in any way that I can, which is why I've brought you here. As I said once before your strand of Chemical X is special and far more predictable in regards to your…..our…relatives. While you may or may not be as strong as them one day, your strand of Chemical X is susceptible, malleable, and can be easily manipulated in such a way that I can in fact give you other abilities. The world may one day find out you are the daughter of Blossom, whose standing in the public will far surpass mine, as I have no intention of staying a hero for much longer. However if the world is gonna find out that your related to an important figure…..then it might as well be me." Dexter finished putting a hand on her shoulder.

Bless stood there in silence, what was she supposed to say, she loved that her father cared for her so much but she didn't like the way he was thinking, paranoid as always, fearing that if the world found out that she was related to Blossom, that that would be what she would be remembered as, completely overshadowing him, or maybe even worse should their past relations ever be brought to light. He wanted her to have something similar to him besides intelligence so that she would be remembered as his daughter as well. It was….. unhealthy.

"Thanks daddy!" Bless said hugging him, but also feeling bad to an extent for meeting her mother behind his back.

"As do I sweetheart…..now its time for a POWERUP!" Dexter said "Just step right in and this could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes." Dexter said

She stepped in to the center of the circular cell and a giant glass door closed behind her. Dexter fished out a case of chemicals about the size of a can of soda and inserted it into side of the cell. Whatever was in there was a mixture of orange and purple with some bright shining bits in it. He then pulled a lever on the side and Bless levitated slightly off the ground against her own will. Little particles of light popped into existence, slowly drifting towards her along with arc of electricity popping from the sides and hitting her. Her face didn't look as if she was in any pain, in fact her face looked like she was relaxing, eyes closed, and mouth shut as her body glowed a bright orange.

"She can't hear us while she's in there." Dexter said as he stared at her with tired eyes with hands in his pocket.

"Sometimes I worry, about what is to come, the danger she'll be in….leaving this dimension has crossed my mind a couple of times. But if I did, if we did, she'd hate me, and to be honest it'd be kind of hard to move at this point in her life. Of course, I'm taking your feelings into consideration but how long will I last…." Dexter said

"Anyways lets get on with the Upgrades!" Dexter said changing tune.

He pulled out two syringes from his coat, one being orange and one being blue.

"Wait your just using a needle?" Midoriya said as he became nervous looking at the big needles

"Well yeah, its just two new nanites, for now that is, the others are still a bit…..glitchy to put it mildly. Any who, lets just get this over with quickly so that your body can start adjusting to the changes these new nanites bring." Dexter said

I said down on a lab bed that rose up out of the ground when Dexter tapped his feet on the ground, and with a wave of his hand a screen appeared showing all of my vitals. He then removed the caps off of the needle and looked at the first blue one, flicking it with his finger a couple of times.

"So how goes the training with One for All?" Dexter said as he took out a disinfectant cloth and wiped my arm.

"I can handle anywhere from 15-20 percent in burst, even then its only for a small amount of time before I can feel my arms numbing. I still don't have the control I'd like either, my limbs suffer from recoil, signs that if I didn't have any nanites that my arms were likely to shatter." I explained as Dexter inserted the needle into my arm and started slowly pushing down on the needle.

"That's to be expected, but not nothing to fear, did you know that every time you shatter your bone, it grows back thicker…..well assuming you heal the natural route." Dexter said looking at he needle and paying close attention to the liquid. "Using a quirk to heal is highly ineffective, they usually divert a large portion of the bodies energy to instantly heal, however they heal to their previous state, perhaps even weaker. Probably the reason that some heroes get back off their feet quickly but are back in critical care just as fast." Dexter explained

"Of course in our case that's something I could fix rather easily. Next one." Dexter said removing the needle and setting it down on a table, picking up the other one.

"Dexter, why don't you want to stay a hero, I know you don't like the society but couldn't you try to change it?" I asked

Silence rained for a bit as Dexter started administering the second needle.

"We've already discussed this before Midoriya. That will be your job, I'm already causing massive speculation just by being a hero for the short time that I am required too. I won't do it because I don't believe one man can just change the view of society. Its not even up for debate Midoriya, the world will refuse to change, you may be able change it for a time but humanity always…..always….always goes back to their basics." Dexter said

"Take today for example, you may not see it now, society certainly doesn't, but we slowly but surely heading for dark times, it is inevitable. The fact of the matter is, you won't be able to take All-Might's place fast enough. Others will "attempt" to pick up the slack but fail miserably and be made even harder to do so from forces from my world. All-Might gave you the power to change that, I'm giving you and Bliss these things now, not that you might change the future, but that you may live, because as heroic as heroes may be, heroes can still die. I'm giving you to an even greater chance to accomplish your respective dreams, regardless as to whether or not I believe you can actually carry them out." Dexter said finishing the last dose of new nanites and letting me sit up.

"That's enough about that Izuku, and I don't want to hear another word about this, I already get enough of it from everyone else, I am not a pillar, at least not for society as a whole, I'm not a smiling face, a sparkling personality, or a force of good. I am just a man that wants to live a normal life. As normal as the smartest man in the universe could live." Dexter said being serious before puffing his chest up in pride at the end.

Still even then I could not help but ponder at the time how someone who held such power, wanted to do nothing with it, a question I'm not sure will ever be answered, how as a human being could you not want to help those in need. I loved Dexter like family but even I couldn't comprehend his thought process, I wasn't angry, but it always sounds like he knows what's going to happen, as if humanity was so predictable. But I still believe that anyone can change, so why can't he?

An alarm buzzed letting us know that Bless was done.

A large amount of fog came out of the machine and Bless stepped out flexing her arm.

Ok lets go over your new powers everyone, Computer if you would be so kind." Dexter said holding his hands up to two separate screens.

"Bless, my dear, this list compromises the powers that you should have if everything went accordingly, Star creation, gravity manipulation and wormhole creation are but a few of them. Think of them as the powers I use out in the field but yours are real." He said

"Izuku you were given two new nanites dubbed the Omega-Adaptive Nanite and the Energy-Manipulation Nanite. They Omega nanite lets you adapt to a situation or make someone else power your own, provided that you have the ability to copy them, and the time to study them. You need to have a firm understanding of their quirk. For instance, the Energy Nanite when used in tandem with the omega will let you recreate some quirks.

"Train in whatever way you two may find fit, so long as you both are prepared for the festival." Dexter said leaving on that note

Izuku's Training

Izuku had spent his time exploring the depth and limitations of his new adaptations. Honestly there wasn't much, I had made a few new builds but nothing to extreme, just and oversized electro whip, a twin pair of battle axes, num-chuks, and a hoverboard. I tried make other more complicated builds but they never turned out the way that I wanted them to so the ideas were put on hold for a bit. Control of One For All was still lacking, and I hadn't gotten any better in this short amount of time. Bless was practicing on her own surrounded by a crowd of sparring drones that were encircling her. She gave a smirk before cracking her knuckles and slamming her fists together causing them to take on a bright orangish red hue. She raked her hands across the drones effortlessly, as if she were dancing and they'd melt upon contact, wherever she touched. Hers eyes would glow a bright orange with little trails of light leaving both of her eyes as she moved. Her appearance only changed more drastically the more she used her new powers. Her hair looked like it was extending but in reality it was something similar to stardust, she raked her hands thru the stardust endings of her hair with a bit of the substance in her hands. She crushed it between her palms before removing them and revealing a star in her hand. She threw it in a exaggerated pitch similar to the way a baseball player would throw it. She threw it at all the drones at her front. Behind her a drone raised its fist into the air ready to bring it down on her bu right before it she levitated an inch off the floor and flew down circling around herself, flying into her own hair before disappearing and reappearing somewhere else entirely.

The Sports Festival Arc…..finally begins

Blasts of confetti were going off around a giant stadium as a huge crowd of civilians and heroes were either filing in or buys things at a concession stand. Many hero agencies were present to scout out potential greats in the future. All-Might and Aizawa were both leading the students towards the stadium.

"This my dear students, is where the people will see the progress you have made in order to become a hero worthy of their trust, and where some of the most respective hero agencies will hopefully scout you out. But fear not, so long as you never give up, so long as you follow PLUS ULTRA, I know that each and everyone of you will become great heroes in your own right, in the future." All-Might said

"That being said, the actions and decisions that you all make today and show to the people will also reflect on UA, so you all should take into consideration your actions before you act, remember this is a festival, taking things to seriously will catch you in the heat of the moment." Aizawa said scanning the class. The class heard a noise of feet landing behind them and turned around to see all four PowerPuff Girls touching down. Blossom waved at Bless quickly but some of my other classmates noticed it and thought that it was weird. They honestly hadn't seen them both at the same time but now that they had they noticed a extremely close similarity, everyone stared at Bless as most of them figured it out on the spot and wanted nothing more than to ask and confirm.

Right as they were about to start heading into the stadium when they heard a commotion behind them, catching the attention of the other heroes and hero agencies there.

After the crowd had cleared the way everyone saw that it was Dexter better known to them as Dexstar. The people were amazed and cheering, while the heroes could be seen either muttering amongst each other. He was in his suit walking down towards the stadium with people constantly clearing the way. The soft clanking of metal hitting the stone pathway was the only sound that he was making as he was making his way farther down. He stood for a second, recognizing All-Mights stature amongst the crowd. He made his way toward the crowd of students and teachers and stopped.

"Dexstar, its good to see you, how was your trip here?" All-Might asked

"…" Dexstar said nothing

"Alright class lets head on in, All-Might you and the rest of the teachers head up to the stands for the other heroes." Aizawa said

With the Class

As soon as we were out of ear shot of the heroes the class immediately started bombarding Bless with questions like if Blossom was her mother and why she had never bothered to tell the class.

"What's it like to have a new up and coming hero as one of your parents?"

"What's your dad like?"

"Do you have all of the same powers as your mother?

"What's it like to have four aunts that all basically look the same?"

These were some of the questions that were asked. They kept asking question after question not letting up before Bless finally spoke and everyone listened as they walked.

"Guys I don't even know my mom that well yet, too be honest I only recently reconnected with her." Bless explained.

This caused everyone to go silent afterwards because of the level of importance and seriousness of the subject, none of them knew how to proceed after that.

"Though I guess if my dad wants to, you all might get to see him today, it wont do him good hiding any longer with the moves I've been practicing with my quirk recently." Bless said

Bakugou suddenly piped up from the front of the group.

"Didn't you say your dad was quirkless back in middle school, I knew you guys were trying to hide things from me, you and Deku!" Bakugou said angrily

"Yes, well my father is very secretive about his life in general, he didn't tell me about his quirk until he knew I was old enough not to blabber it out. He had hoped to go thru his whole life keeping it hidden but he's doing away with that secret so that I can be a hero and follow my dreams." Bless said

As we reached the entrance of the stadium we Aizawa stopped before us causing everyone to pause.

"This Sports Festival will be one of the first big steps that some of you will make towards becoming a pro hero, all of Japan and maybe even more will be watching you all today but know that this is in its entirety a learning exercise, so in the grand scheme of things don't put to much pressure on yourself or you'll burn out. And with that said, go show them what it means to be Plus Ultra." Aizawa said in his bored tone.

With Dexter

On his way to the top stand of the stadiums that only top heroes and business men could afford Dexter saw Inko waiting around another part of the hall waiting for him. He made his way towards her to take her towards her seat.

"Inko, glad to see you made it lets, follow me please!" He said ushering her up a flight of stairs as she sputtered not knowing what was going on.

"Y-y-your that new hero everyone's been talking about, how do you know my name?" She asked

"Inko it's me Mr. McPherson, Bless's father!" Dexter said while pointing at himself

"ehhhhhhh, why didn't I hear about this?" She asked half glaring at him

"Well you see, initially I had planned for my identity to be kept a secret, but as I very quickly found out that's not gonna happen, do you know how hard it is to keep a secret identity when you got a kid that's immediately going to be linked back to you, I really didn't think this thru." Dexter said rubbing his chin

"Is there anything else I should know?" She said still half glaring while tapping her foot.

"Uhhhhh, hmmmmm, well, I've been helping you son out with some support gear, my cheating wife is here, and I own a rapidly growing company, also I know All-Might, actually wait, maybe scratch that last one off, it might not count as life changing knowledge. Any who lets make our way off towards our seats." Dexter said

"Ok, but that's a lot to take in." She said processing everything he said

"Also one more thing, UA thought it would be funny to buy my cheating wife a seat next to mine, so can you do me one tiny little favor and switch places with me…pls." Dexter said

"I don't know, what if she just wants to reconcile with you?" Inko said not wanting to be in that awkward situation.

"Inko, I'm not a very emotional person, it's been 15 years, I didn't want to reconcile then, I don't want to reconcile now, it hurts to look at her because, because she makes me feel…." Dexter tried to finish

"Love" Inko said

"Absolute hatred, is more like it, look at it like this Inko, the seed of doubt has been planted when she did what she did. Lets say I forgive her, and everything goes back to normal" Dexter said while still walking next to her up a flight of stairs.

"No matter how much I say l forgive her, no matter how much she promises, there will always be that little voice in the back of my head, it'll drive me mad, it'll make me more paranoid than I already am. Maybe forgive in her is best for her, it might even be best for my daughter…..but to just let that go….its just not within my human nature." Dexter said looking down finishing his explanation with a somber tone.

"Well what if your daughter forgave her, then would you?" Inko asked in curiosity

"…..That..would never happen…she knows what they've done to us, what they've done to me, the choice I had to make the things I had to do to survive. I raised her…..the probability of her forgiving her is 0, it won't happen, it can't happen." Dexter said in finality

"Well then you should be prepared for them to meet sooner rather than later, back when I was raising my son in his childhood, he would always ask about his father and I had nothing to tell him. His father just upped and left without any word as to where he was going. He used to ask so much until he eventually stopped, he grew old enough to know that he wasn't coming back. His father was an amazing man and if he were here right now, even if I was angry with him, I know that he is the only one with answers for the question that my son has." Inko said

They reached the top entering a room filled exclusively with heroes and wealthy business men. Inko was worrying about her attire while Dexter followed lost in thought. He stayed like that even after they reached their seats and Inko sat in between him and Blossom, who had looked like she had wanted to say something.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HEROES AND SIDEKICKS, I'M SURE YOUR ALL PUMPED FOR WHATS ABOUT TO GO DOWN TODAY, I KNOW I AM, SO LETS KICH OFF THIS SPORTS FESTIVAL INTO HIGH GEARRRRRRRRRRR!" Present Mic yelled causing the crowd to roar and confetti cannons going off all around the stadium

"FIRST OFF WE HAVE THE DIVISIONS FROM GENERAL STUDIES, UA MAKES MANY HEROES BUT LET REMEMBER THAT NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES!" Present Mic yelled with the crowd cheering

"NEXT THE SUPPORT DIVISION, HERE TO SHOW US ALL WHAT KIND OF GADGETS WE SHOULD EXPECT IN THE FUTURE! Present Mic yelled while the crowd ooooooood and awwwwhd at the gadgets and inventions that some of the Support students were fitting themselves with.

"LASTLY, YOUR HEROES OF TOMORROW, HERE TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW HARD THEY'VE WORKED IN ORDER TO ENSURE A FUTURE OF PEACE. CLASSSSSSSSSSSS 1-AAAAAAA and CLASSSSSS 1-BBBBBBB" Present Mic drolled out

"LET THE GAMES BEGIN!" Present Mic finished

Dexter spotted Izuku and Bless standing amongst the crowd of students, Bless looked up and smiled waving up, but his paranoia kicked in when Blossom waved back at the same time as him. His stomach felt…..sick.

FORGIVENESS IS POSSIBLE, HOWEVER IT IS NOT PLAUSIBLE

Unknown Ghost Flashback

The ghost woke up with a startle, it looked around trying to remember what had happened, he looked up in front of him to see a face that looked as if it were pressed up against glass, which initially startled the thing. Now it remembered, it and a number of others had attempted to over-shadow the man. The man who was now watching him. He charged at the man, preparing the phase through the wall but he hit the wall face first causing him to reel back.

"Please, do not antagonize the specimens Negative." A distracted voice said.

The exact same man was sitting on the other side of the see through wall or room and was writing things down vigorously.

"Well how else are we going to get rise out of this thing, the other fifty or so aren't exactly any different, we can't study these things if all they do is slam their heads against the wall.

The ghost looked up to see the rest of the ghouls that had attempted to overshadow slamming into the wall together, trying to free themselves.

"Yes well, I was hoping that we'd see the affect of beings caught in IT." Positive said

"Where…are….we?" the ghost asked out loud in a raspy voice. Disrupting their conversation.

"Well shit, one of them finally said something besides death bla bla ghost boy bla bla King Pariah." Negative said demeaning the being

"FINALLY! An interview able subject, tell me, are you beings truly ghost or sentient living masses of energy. What do your kind consume? How do you procreate? For what reason do you exist? How did you all arrive at this location and if you feel any discomfort please describe it to me!" Positive shot off excitingly

The ghost looked confused not sure what to make of the situation.

"OK my turn!" Negative yelled from his side

"Hello, you is stupid shit, we is smart people, how you want to die?" Negative said extremely condescendingly

The ghost did not take to kindly to this and lashed out at Negative who seemed bored.

"You asked where you were, correct? Well ill answer that if you promise to answer just a few of my questions in return, is that fair?" Positive said

The ghost settled down before responding "Yes"

"You entered our mind, in your attempt to overshadow our main conscious. In that attempt, you and your friends were but in IT. Of course we are fascinated by you beings, nothing fascinates us more than seeing what IT does. You see me and my associate over there are best described as two sides of the same coin, however what most fail to realize is that a coin in actuality has three sides. If I had to guess, I'd say you guys are in this area." Positive said manifesting a quarter and dragging his hand across the edge for emphasis

"What was once a thin wall separating me and him is now a room that also contains you supposed "Ghosts"" Positive said

"Now if you could answer some of my questions?" Positive asked

"We will escape and kill everyone of you!" The ghost said refusing to answer

"Well pardon me, I just wanted to know how this felt." Positive said

What was the human talking about? It wondered

Right as it thought that, all the ghost immediately lost the ability to float, crashing into the grey ground. Some of them tried to pick themselves up but found themselves to be stuck, with some of them even sinking into the ground. They were all screaming in agony felling pain but not knowing where it was originating from.

The ghost let out wails, as it dissolved. It begged to the man to let them go but he wasn't even paying attention, he was writing things down, inspecting them all without a care in the world.

"Please, ill tell you whatever it is that you want!" the ghost cried out. It kept calling out towards the man until the man noticed and walked in front of the wall and knelt down.

"SHHHHHHHHH, experiments should only be providing data." Positive said returning back to his table

On Negative's side

"You know sometimes I feel like I should have been the good side, you know, when you think about, I think the most like a human, irrational, still smart mind you, but rage induced nonetheless. Like why was I the Negative side. Why me?" Negative pondered talking to a ghost who was only left up to his throat.

"WHYYYYYYYY, why is this happening to me!" the ghost wailed

"YEAH, you get me man, its to bad your existence is meaningless." Negative said

One by one this continued until every ghost was gone, all gone.
