"Shigaraki." A booming voice called out into the dark room from a computer screen in front of Shigaraki. "You have failed yet again...however, this is good."

"May I ask why Master?" Shigaraki said as he scratched his neck.

"The Noumu may have been beaten, but you gained something more...knowledge of your enemy." The voice said. "My healing process is being quickened because of it. This being is allowing me to continue to take more and more sacred gears to bolster our strength. That boy...Izuku Midoriya correct? That is your destined enemy and All Might's pupil. From here on out it is going to be you versus him. The League is growing however...I'm quite content with your progress."

"Master...thank you." Shigaraki said, more than happy with his masters praise. He had failed in killing All Might and the Red Dragon Emperor, but still got recognition from his teacher.

{Shigaraki, our rival is growing stronger. Ophis has given him more power ever since he reincarnated.} Albion spoke up to Shigaraki and his master.

"Hm...master, may I ask for more sacred gears?" Shigaraki asked. "I need to find more reincarnated gods."

"Shigaraki, you need only ask. I may have taught you, but this is your battle. I will do my utmost to give you what you need, but you'll make the decisions." The man on the screen said.

"Master…" Shigaraki mumbled as he stopped scratching.

"I have the perfect pieces for the next person. Ah...Vritra...it's been a while." The man said with a grin as he began to chuckle as he lifted his hand up to show the darkness coming out of his hand. "With these five pieces you'll be able to find the wielder of Vritra."

"Thank you master...I won't let you down…" Shigaraki bowed before the man nodded and the transmission ended. "Kurogiri...gather everyone."

Shigaraki walked up to the bar they were using as a hideout. It was in some back alleyway and was pretty perfect for what Shigaraki had planned. He had been gathering people for a war on the hero side of the world. Specifically All Might. His master had found him as a child and gave him Albion. At first the dragon was reluctant and like his old self. However, now Albion had bend to Shigaraki's will and became his. Shigaraki had died on purpose and was reincarnated by Great Red at a young age so he was pretty powerful. However, the fight against his rival was unexpected. It had taken him years to achieve the scale mail yet that boy achieved it in only a few months. He needed to get stronger and increase his own League. Due to this Shigaraki had needed to recruit more people. Because of this, there was now three other people with him aside from Kurogiri. Himiko Toga, Dabi, and a villain named Twice who can replicate himself. Of course, his master had given them each a sacred gear. Dabi had the sacred gear of Sword Birth. It allowed him to create swords at his disposal. Because of his fire quirk he was even more of a menace now. He could control where people went and play a huge part in offense. He gave Himiko Toga the Crimson Grimoire. This bracelet allowed her to heal herself as she drew blood for her enemies, which made her already established quirk even stronger than before. Lastly, there is Twice, who was given the sacred gear of the Demon Blood Spawn. They were four small red circular chakrams that could be attached to his body to use for offense, defense, or mobility. It was perfect for his personality. The red chakrams could be duplicated as well. Kurogiri was given Caliburn, a holy sword that was the sword in the stone King Arthur pulled. That one is self explanatory. Soon everyone gathered up in the bar area after coming down from their rooms.

"Everyone...we need to recruit more people." Shigaraki said blatantly.

"Any leads on anyone that can utilize a sacred gear?" Kurogiri asked as he dried a glass right after pouring Shigaraki and Toga two different drinks.

"Not yet. Master is sending a five part sacred gear, but we are only to use one until we find the person who can wield it." Shigaraki explained. "Right now we need to not focus on finding people who can use sacred gears, but focus more on finding people to bolster our forces."

"Okay, so what do you want us to do?" Dabi sighed.

"Toga. Go and find some people underground to seduce and bring them back here. Dabi, go around the back streets and check to see if anyone is offering their services or looking for a group. Twice...just focus on providing assistance to Toga from afar. Kurogiri...find the hero killer and bring him here to talk." Shigaraki ordered his group and they all soon set out to find villains to recruit. Twice made a few replicas of Toga to go around, while Dabi set out for the back alley system the villains had set in place. Kurogiri teleported himself to a different location with Caliburn strapped to his side.

"Now where the hell is that damned God?" Shigaraki cursed.

"You called?" Susanooh opened the door in his uniform. He had a giant grin on his face.

"I can smell the hospital on you...you went to that kid didn't you?" Shigaraki said with an edge to his voice. He slid off of his stool and disintegrated the glass in his hand. "What happened to listening?"

"Yeah yeah yeah, don't worry about it boss. More importantly, I found a someone who could possibly be able to use sacred gears." Susanooh began as he plopped down on one of the couches. "Let me make a joint team. It'll be like our own kind of Injustice League right?"

"Full of people who can wield sacred gears?" Shigaraki questioned. "Good luck finding people who can wield one. Master may not even have enough of the sacred gears collected yet."

"That's not a problem. I can gift others with a small amount of my divinity to give them a source of supernatural power. At that point they can amplify their quirks and use my divinity as a source of power. So the use of sacred gears isn't necessarily important, but it would certainly help." Susanooh said getting a bit more serious. "I'll be straight with you. I want to fight strong people, but right now you need people who can act in the dark that aren't apart of your main crew."

"Hm…" Shigaraki hummed as he scratched his arm in thought. "What do you need and who?"

"Heh, now you're seeing it my way. I was thinking of a team that would do the dirty work of the League. Sort of like a dark ops group y'know? I want a cool name first and foremost. Phantom Mask? Force of Gloom? Shock Council? There's so many possibilities!" Susanooh said. "Ooh maybe even something like the Elemental Corps? Anyway that's beside my point, I need people who can use elements."

"Elemental quirks?" Shigaraki questioned. "Why...would you need that?"

"Frankly, I need people who can work well together. Personally, I'll fight on my own, but if I make a dark ops team I'm going to need people who are able to work well together." Susanooh said with a serious face as he looked over Shigaraki. His plan wasn't fool proof, but it was a start. He needed to be fighting and doing something that would sate his appetite. More importantly, he had a bigger goal in mind. "The sacred gears are scattered all over the world right?"

"According to master...yes." Shigaraki said with a hint of curiosity to his voice.

"Then if this team gets made we could go undercover to recover a large amount of sacred gears. Think about it. More importantly, you know that kid Izuku is going to fight us all at some point. Imagine if your rival fights all of these things and gets even stronger. You'll get the satisfaction of taking him out and you'll prove yourself to the world. Let the kid grow and become even more popular. Then when he's at his peak take him out to cause true despair. We both know All Might is getting weaker. That kid could prove to be even more dangerous than we could even imagine." Susanooh said as he stood up and began to walk towards the door. However, before he could do anything Shigaraki threw a small book at him from where he was sitting. Susanooh caught the book and looked backwards towards Shigaraki. Shigaraki e glared at the reincarnated god with his red eyes covered by the hand on his face.

"Write down what you need. Write down the sacred gears you want to retrieve for your group. Write down any people who you believe to be reincarnations of past entities." Shigaraki turned away and picked up another glass and downed a shot. "Stigma. That's going to be your group name. You'll do the dirty work I can't be bothered to do. Don't fail me."

"Such a tsun…" Susanooh grinned and walked out of the bar and Shigaraki just grunted.

Once Susanooh had left Shigaraki just sighed and flipped open his phone and touched the contact name of Giran.

"Giran. Whatcha need and how much are ya paying?"

"Giran. It's Shigaraki. I need you to find me around 6 people with elemental quirks that have an eye on being a villain." Shigaraki said as he stood up and went up to the back of the bar to his room. Once he got confirmation from Giran that he would find them, Shigaraki flopped onto his bed and narrowed his eyes.

"Albion. I want to kill them both." Shigaraki scratched his arm again.

{In time. Right now you must focus on bolstering your forces and waiting for the opportune time to strike. I believe the U.A. sports festival you've watched every year is happening again soon. This will be a great time to watch the strength of Ddraig and his host. It will also give us insight to the top students quirks.}

"Think our traitor plan will work?" Shigaraki grinned and began to get giddy.

{More than likely.}

"Good...with the supply master will give...we will finally be able to kill All Might."

XXXXXXXXX

"WELCOME HOME!" All of Class 1-A yelled as Izuku walked into the dorms with a few bandages on him and his mouth agape. The first one to shoot towards him was Iida who put his shoulders on the green haired boy.

"MIDORIYA!" Iida said as he shot forward. "Are you okay? Should you be up? Do you need any help!?"

"I-Iida I'm alright!" Izuku said putting his hands up defensively. However, he began to feel the tears well up in his eyes.

'Not again…'

"Iida made him cry!" Kaminari called out with surprise. "A-Are you okay Midoriya!?"

"Y-Yeah...I'm okay I just...have never had something like this before." Izuku said wiping his eyes. "Sorry guys, but what is all this for?"

"For saving us, ribbit." Tsuyu chimed in. "Without you we would have had a lot more trouble, ribbit."

"Yeah Midoriya you were so cool!" Mineta jumped up and was joined by approving nods from Satou, Kouta, and Sero. Tokoyami quickly walked up the young hero and bowed.

"Midoriya...as someone who looks like me I have been avoided my entire life. Not many people would even stand up for me let alone put their life on the line to protect me. On behalf of me and dark shadow, we thank you for protecting us!" Tokoyami bowed deeply along with dark shadow.

"T-Tokoyami?! R-Really it's not big deal! As long as you are okay that's all I care about!" Izuku said as he put his hand up defensively.

"Truly Midoriya you are a man filled with kindness. I'm proud to be able to think of you as my friend." Tokoyami said as dark shadow went over to Izuku and hugged him while crying.

"Midoriya!" Dark Shadow comically cried as he hugged Midoriya.

'This...is weird. I've never been hugged by a shadow before.'

Tokoyami looked embarrassed as he cleared his throat and called back dark shadow.

"Midoriya...should you ever require my help I would gladly do all I could to help you." Tokoyami said with a smile as Izuku smiled and gave him a fist bump. Kaminari and Kirishima were next to roar to life. With their arms over the others shoulder they both yelled.

"There's the cinnamon roll we know and love!" Kaminari yelled with a grin.

"Midoriya...you're truly a man of men!" Kirishima said with pride and flashed a toothy grin.

"Really Midoriya...thank you from the bottom of our hearts." Jirou said as Momo gave him a warm smile. Todoroki was standing next to Momo and flashed Midoriya a nod of thanks before going to sit down on the couch accompanied by Momo.

"Midori!" Tooru jumped towards Izuku and hit him with a weird hug.

"H-H-H-Hagakure!?" Izuku stammered as he wasn't sure where to grab and if he even could grab.

"I was sooo scared and you were so brave in protecting us!" Tooru jumped off of him and Izuku guessed she was smiling at him. "I really appreciate you protecting us all. It means a lot, really."

Ojiro was next as he patted Izuku on his shoulder and Aoyama and Shoji both walked up to the hero.

"Monsieur! You are a true knight! You dazzled like the stars in the night!" Aoyama gave a spin before Shoji sighed and took over.

"Midoriya...thank you truly. You are an inspiration to us all." Shoji gave a smile under his mask and a nod before patting Izuku on the shoulder.

"Everyone...thank you!" Izuku began the water works again as a few of the students glomped him in a giant hug. After they broke and Izuku wiped his eyes he noticed that three people in particular were missing. Bakugou, Uraraka, and Mina. He guessed he was the last person any of them wanted to see. Tooru seemed to notice his change in demeanor as Izuku frantically looked around the room for the three people he knew best. Even if his relationship with one was rocky. Well, it might be all three now.

"Midori...you're looking for Bakugou, Mina, and Ochaco right?" Tooru whispered to him. Izuku blushed frantically and he flailed about due to the close proximity to a girl. Now that he had enhanced senses his smell was very strong and Tooru...had a lot of perfume on. "I'll tell you this. Mina and Ochaco are in their rooms getting ready still. Bakugou is asleep right now, but I'll tell you something pretty amazing."

"W-What?" Izuku was a bit afraid. Tooru was known to be a bit mischievous at times.

"After you got hurt...Bakugou was the first one to yell and charge the villains. I don't think I've ever seen him look so mad before. Even Kirishima said he was surprised about how pissed he was and Kaminari said he could've sworn he saw tears in his eyes." Tooru said as she backed up and walked back towards the group.

"R-Really?" Izuku mumbled as he looked at the girl.

'Ddraig...what the hell?'

'This is...unexpected if this is true.'

'I don't get Kacchan…'

"T-Thanks Tooru!" Izuku said and gave a smile. "I-I'll go find Uraraka and Mina. Then I'll c-come back down!"

"Right!" Tooru said pumping her invisible arm up in the air. Iida patted him on the back and the rest of the group began to finish getting set up. As Izuku was walking up he saw a table with a few wrapped presents on it with a large green and red cake in the middle. Izuku had to keep himself from not crying for the third time since he had got there. As he made his way to the elevator the doors opened and Uraraka came out. The two made eye contact and both of them froze.

"H-Hi?" Izuku choked out before he was immediately sacked by the girl as they both fell to the ground.

"Deku!" Uraraka said on top of him. "I was so worried!"

"U-U-Uraraka!?" Izuku said as he propped himself up while the girl was hugged around him as she nuzzled into his chest. Izuku didn't hate the feeling, but it didn't stop him from being embarrassed to all hell.

"Deku...don't do that ever again..." Uraraka lightly pounded on his chest. "You idiot...I never want to see you like that again."

"Uraraka...I...I promise I'll try to not get hurt like that again, but I can't promise I won't do that again. I mean if I had to protect you I'd do it in a heartbeat…" Izuku said with a blush before his face went even redder once she stopped pounding and looked up at his face with a blank stare. Then it hit him what he had just said. "UOH! U-U-U-Uh! I mean I-!"

Izuku tried to say something before he was cut off by Uraraka's lips pressed up against cheek. The girl had tears running down her face as Izuku's body went stiff. Izuku eventually relaxed into it.

"D-Deku…" Uraraka said with a huge blush. "Thank you. For protecting me. For protecting us all."

"O-Of course!" Izuku said louder than he meant to. He was having trouble realizing what had just happened. Before his mind went wild with weird thoughts and doubts. "Uraraka...I-"

"Deku…" Uraraka put her finger up to Izuku's mouth. "You don't have to decide now. I just...want you to know how I f-feel."

"R-Right…" Izuku stammered before Uraraka got up and pulled the young boy up with her. "So...I p-p-promise I won't make you w-w-wait long."

Uraraka giggled at the boy. "It's okay Deku really. I can wait as long as you need me to."

"T-Thanks Ura-!"

'Call her Ochaco.'

"Thanks Ochaco...it really means a lot." Izuku said with only a hint of confidence. At the sound of her first name the girl blushed and smiled back.

"Right. Now go see Mina. I think she is waiting for you herself. The party isn't going anywhere, right?" Uraraka grinned and patted his back as he walked into the elevator with a huge blush on his face. Once the doors closed he finally let go of his composition.

"OH MY GOD!" Izuku whispered yelled to himself. "Ddraig! What just happened!?"

'Uh, someone showed you their feelings?'

"I know that, but she k-k-k-kissed me!" Izuku freaked out.

'Hasn't Mina kissed you before?'

"Y-Yeah, but still!"

'Maybe she'll go further?'

"Not helping!" Izuku sighed. "I don't know if my heart is ready for all this…"

'Think of it as training? You need to find a limiter to help you out. Best way to do that is through your ambition and your loved ones. Most of my hosts have had huge harems.'

"T-That's…" Izuku had no retort for that. As he tried to figure it out the elevator doors reached the second floor. Izuku slowly walked to his pink friends door and took a deep breath. He was about to knock when he heard a loud gasp and a huge thump on the ground.

"M-Mina!?" Izuku burst through the door. "Are you o...k...ay…"

In front of Izuku was Mina who had been putting on her shorts before falling over. Now she had her shorts off while look directly at Izuku until the boy let his eyes train down her body and he saw something he wasn't expecting. Pink striped underwear with a bear on the front.

"C-Cute?" Izuku said like a question before a pillow was thrown at him.

"W-Wait outside!" Mina yelled with a blush. Izuku fell backwards through the door and Mina shut the door on him.

'I called it.'

'I...tap out.'

'You have the luck of a Red Dragon Emperor that is for sure.'

Izuku just sighed and just laid on the ground staring up at the hallway ceiling until he heard the door open and a voice perked up and told him to come in.

"Y-You can come in now…" Mina said with a slightly wavering voice. This kind of surprised Izuku because he wasn't used to any kind of shy Mina. He slowly got up and walked into the room.

"Hey, M-Mina…" Izuku said with a slight blush. The pink girl walked up to the boy and slowly embraced him.

"Izu...I...I was so scared…" Mina hugged him tight and brought her head into his neck. "When I saw you get hurt and then the water went red...I just lost all hope."

"Mina...I'm sorry." Izuku said as he returned the hug and let his head rest on the top of her head "I just didn't want you to get hurt y'know? When I thought that you could be hurt...I just moved on my own."

"It's okay...I just worried about you a lot. If you hadn't have come back today I probably would have broke down." Mina looked up with a big smile and tears in her eyes. "I don't even know why I'm like this. This hasn't really happened before."

"Yeah...you're not the only one." Izuku said as he held onto Mina and let out a sigh with a smile.

'Ddraig...I feel bad about holding the supernatural world from her. I don't mind All Might's secret, but this won't be the last time I get into a fight like this...she needs to know.'

'That's not my choice to make. However, once she knows she'll be in danger.'

'She'll be in danger if she's anywhere near me.'

'It's your call partner. Either way this girl will stay by you. However, I will say you should wait.'

'Why?'

'Because you'll have to tell this story three different times.'

'Mei, Mina, and Ochaco huh?'

'I'm impressed, you haven't freaked out about them yet.'

'I...I can't say I don't have some sort of eelings for them...I just don't know if I'm ready for that.'

'I won't pressure you partner. However, I'll remind you that you're not limited to only one.'

'Easy for you to say...won't that look weird?'

'I guess it is a bit weird in your society, but does it matter?'

'I...I'll give it a thought.'

'Hm, you're maturing nicely Izuku. A few months ago you would be scared to touch this girl and would barely talk to me about this.'

'Yeah I guess. The years of anxiety and bullying aren't just going to go away...but I can always learn to be better than it.'

'Well said. Now why don't you finish up with Mina and head back down stairs?'

"Hey Mina?" Izuku softly said and patted her head as she backed away from him a bit. "Wanna head down stairs?"

"Yeah...I am the life of the party aren't I?" Mina said with a grin as she wiped her eyes and slapped her face softly with her two hands. "I should warn you prematurely, the rest of the class is wondering about your quirk and I have to admit so am I."

"U-Uh r-really?" Izuku said as he began to sweat a bit. "H-How so?"

"Well, that armor was pretty cool. You looked like a mecha dragon!" Mina said as she flung her arms around being energetic to give emphasis to her words. "Then you laid the smackdown on that villain! Yaomomo and Todoroki want to ask about the relation between you and that villains armor. Bakugou wants to know if you really have a quirk, and I want to know if your quirk is really a quirk."

"W-Why wouldn't it be a quirk?" Izuku said as he backed up a bit. This was certainly unexpected.

"Well just look at it!" Mina said as she grabbed onto Izuku's right arm. "It's a gauntlet thing with some weird thing inside of it!"

"Dragon." Ddraig spoke up and the green circle appeared on Izuku's hand.

"O-Okay I see your point!" Izuku said as he mentally cursed himself for being careless.

"Hey Izu...have you been working out?" Mina asked as she looked at the boy.

"Where did that come from?" Izuku asked with a bewildered look.

"You're not so much as muscly, but it looks like you've gotten really toned. You're also really warm...are you sure you should be up?" Mina said as she looked him over. Now that it was pointed out Izuku noticed. Sure he got muscular from All Might's training, but now he looked like he had been working out for more than just a year. Sure he wasn't Shoji or Satou level of buff, but he was certainly "toned" as Mina had said. As for the warm part, he didn't really notice that, but it would make sense considering he isn't human anymore.

"Y-Yeah, the nurse checked me over and she said I was good to go. S-She even said I healed faster than normal!" Izuku said a little too loudly in his nervousness.

"She? So another woman checked you over huh?" Mina said narrowing her eyes with a teasing voice. "And here I thought that I was special. You're such a womanizer Izu!"

"N-No! W-Wait Mina t-that's not true!" Izuku stammered before Mina burst out in more laughter.

"Hoo...hah...you have got to learn to take a joke Izu." Mina wiped the tears from her eyes as she walked towards her door to head downstairs. "Anyway, shall we?"

Izuku just stared at her with wide eyes and a huge blush.

"..." Izuku sighed heavily. "Yeah…"

The pair went down and were greeted by the rest of the group. They had already began to dig in to the food the rest of the class made, but left the All Might themed cake alone.

"Midoriya!" Kirishima said. "Come join!"

Kirishima and Kaminari waved him over with giant grins. Everyone was in front of the TV and watching a movie about a heroic dragon emperor fighting a evil villain trying to steal his kingdom. Izuku was a little less than amused and a little more terrified.

The group sat down together and Izuku went to the table to get some food. He had just noticed his hunger was pretty extreme at this point. After he piled on food he began to dig while watching the movie with the rest of the gang. After everyone had finished and the movie had ended it was around 4:30 pm.

"Ahhh…" Kaminari laid back on Jirou's lap. "That was pretty damn good."

"Would you get off me?" Jirou pushed him off of her legs with a huge blush while the rest of the group laughed.

"So should we finally have cake and give Midoriya his presents?" Satou spoke up. Kouta nodded next to him and Kirishima roared in agreement.

"Hell yeah!" Kirishima said as he rushed to get the two gifts from the table. One was a box shape and the other was a black notebook wrapped with a red ribbon holding it together.

"G-Guys you didn't have to do all of this…" Izuku said with bewilderment. The last time he had received a gift was technically from Mei and All Might, but the last time he got one like this...was his birthday before Bakugou got his quirk.

"Don't be like that Deku!" Ochaco said with a smile. "We wanted to thank you as much as we could so we decided to give you these."

Izuku began with the notebook as he took the ribbon off and opened it up. The first page was loaded with signatures and kind words the other students had written. Two of the most heartfelt were Ochaco and Mina's who wrote a lengthy and sappy thank you with Mina signing with a kiss and Ochaco a smiley face. Izuku gave a small smile and then was about to close the book before Mina nudged him.

"Flip the pages silly." Mina grinned. Izuku did as he was told and immediately his eyes went wide. From alphabetical order each student had wrote their own pages full of a drawn picture of them with details of how their quirk works, aside from Bakugou and the secretive Todoroki of course. Izuku could feel the tears coming to his eyes.

"Guys...this…" Izuku mumbled as everyone watched. At first they thought he didn't like it as he didn't say anything after, but once they saw the tears most of them jumped up into panic mode.

"M-Midoriya are you okay!?" Kaminari shot up from the floor.

"Yeah it's just... I haven't gotten something like this in so long and it means a lot to me guys." Izuku smiled with a few tears streaming down his face.

"So bright!" Kirishima blocked his eyes as everyone grinned like idiots.

"What do you mean you haven't gotten anything like this Midoriya? Surely, you've received birthday gifts right?" Momo spoke up. Everyone silently agreed while they awaited for a response.

"W-Well, I didn't really have friends before U.A." Izuku began. "My quirk...developed late so I wasn't the most popular kid."

"Bakugou is your childhood friend though, shouldn't he have given you something?" Kirishima brought up.

"Uh, well, I don't…" Izuku was looking for answer. Should he really tell them Bakugou was the one who bullied him? "We kind of drifted apart during middle school...I guess."

"O-Oh, that would explain quite a lot…" Momo said a little sadly.

"Anyways!" Kirishima cut in with a grin and loud voice. "That's all in the past! You have us now!"

The rest of the class gave an affirmative nod and smiled at the boy.

"Now open up your next one!" Kaminari practically was bursting at the sight of the box Izuku was about to open. The green haired hero wiped his eyes and opened up the box.

"W-W-WOAH!" Izuku practically squealed like a fan girl as he opened up a limited edition All Might figure that was only on sale for a few hours before going off the market. "HOW DID YOU GET THIS!?"

"Well we did have help from All Might and the other teachers in getting...but that's not the point!" Tooru said as she threw her hands into the air. "Midori, check the bottom of the foot!"

"Huh?" Izuku turned it upside down and lo and behold there was a signature from All Might himself along with a card at the bottom of the wrapping paper that was signed by most of the teachers and some of the pro heroes who were at USJ when the accident happened.

"Guys...really this means a lot to me." Izuku said as he looked at his friends with nothing but fondness in his eyes. "I really couldn't ask for better...friends."

"Neither could we Midoriya." Iida said as he placed his hand on the young hero's shoulder.

"Now I guess it's time for me to give you guys something in return right?" Izuku said as he took a deep breath. The rest of the class was about to protest before Izuku spoke up before them. "I should tell you guys about my quirk.

The class went quiet as everyone sat down while Todoroki and Momo looked at the young hero intensely as they awaited to see if their theories were correct.

'Either your going to be a really good liar or a idiot for telling the truth. Remember, the less they know about the supernatural world and All Might, the safer they are and the safer you are.' Ddraig reminded the boy.

'Yeah…'

"Alright...well to be honest I'm just as lost as you guys are in all of this, but I have figured out some things on my own." Izuku began. "What I've found out through research is that partner quirks are quite rare and quirks that can produce armor are even more rare. Just like Tokoyami, I have a entity inside me that is connected with me and can help me as you all know, i named him Ddraig from what he has told me about himself. Secondly, the armor that I gain from it is based on my pure imagination. It sort of works like if I drew the armor out and then poured my power into it in order to form it. I guess it kind of works like Yaoyorozu's quirk by using my own power to maintain it. However, what I have noticed is that my body can't handle it because of how late this quirk developed. That's why my body is constantly hurt by my own quirk and I have to try to limit myself. That armored form I took earlier was proof of that. Thirdly, I think I have my own hypothesis as to how I have so many powers."

"Which is?" Todoroki asked with a hint of urgency to his voice.

"Have you ever heard of quirks mutating?" Izuku asked as his friends began to shake or nod their heads in response. "Well, it works by changing a previously made quirk into a new one that is stronger or more efficient. In my case, I think it branched off my original quirk, Ddraig, and continued to create more and more abilities to help me in my fights."

"So to sum it up to what you believe, your quirk relies on the link between you and Ddraig while also being influenced by your own conscious…" Todoroki said. "Then as time progressed you began to acquire more and more abilities to meet the obstacles in front of you."

"Essentially yes." Izuku said putting a hand to his chin. "I've continued to do research on the mutation of quirks and even the possibility of a quirk that can be passed down a family tree, which would explain why I have all of these different powers. However, my quirk also heavily relies on my emotions, which is why I was able to activate my new form for only a short while. I only lived because of my anger which gave my quirk the ability to heal me and recreate the new armor."

"So, you think your quirk has been passed down from generation to generation?" Todoroki questioned.

'Dammit, dammit, dammit! Why did I say something so close to home!' Izuku yelled at himself in his mind.

"Y-Yes, i don't think I could think of all of these things alone." Izuku said to try and tide Todoroki over.

"Interesting...I thought you might have just had multiple quirks, but it seems that instead of that, you simply have a quirk that adapts to the situation at hand." Yaoyorozu stated as she looked towards Todoroki. "This is sufficient wouldn't you say?"

"Yes, but that doesn't answer my other question." Todoroki looked at Izuku sternly. "Why did you have a similar quirk to that villain with the black and purple draconic armor?"

Izuku was stumped at this point, he had forgotten that Mina had warned him and this part completely slipped his mind. He didnt think this one through.

"I…" Izuku began as he looked at everyone. They were all hitched on his every word. "I want to know as much as you guys. What I do know is that that guy had the same situation as me with a adapting quirk, which means that if my theory about my power being passed down from generation to generation then that means that he could also have a similar situation."

"Every force has an equal and opposite force right?" Iida spoke up. "If a quirk as powerful as yours had no opposite, then it could be destructive in the wrong hands. I think your theory could hold some truth Midoriya. I'm proud to call you a friend!"

"It does make sense…" Todoroki said as he looked at Izuku and gave a bow. "Hmph, I'll accept it for now. Thank you Midoriya. For now and for earlier."

The rest of the class seemed content with his answer before the gang all began to go back to what they were doing and asked Izuku a bunch of questions about what he had been doing. Mina and Ochaco didn't leave his side for a second, but Izuku knew he was going to have to eventually leave to go see one of his only other friends: Mei. However, what nobody realized was the person standing behind them all in the kitchen with his back leaning on the counter and his arms crossed. He looked at the ground and grit his teeth in anger.

'Deku has a damn quirk that can adapt to any situation?! No that's impossible! That fucking dweeb couldn't even stand up to me and now he thinks he's hot shit?! Tch, there's something going on and I'm gonna find out what the hell it is…' Bakugou looked downwards as he clicked his tongue and began to go back to his dorm as he shook his head to get rid of his watering eyes. 'How the fuck is that idiot even alive?'

XXXXXXXXX

After the party and talking to everyone, Izuku finally got out of the grips of Mina and Ochaco as he began towards the dorm rooms for the support group. He didn't know what Mei would say, but he had to confront her eventually. She would be pretty pissed, but also happy that he achieved a new power and form. She was his personal support hero of course.

'I'm impressed partner, you were able to dodge their questions with lies that weren't fully lies in themselves.' Ddraig spoke he reached the dorm he knocked on it before a student opened the door and told him that Mei was in the mechanical room fixing some of her babies. Izuku said thanks and ran towards the room as he passed by teachers and students along the way and said hi or was praised by those who had witnessed his bravery. The video was shown to the world after all. Soon Izuku reached the door and as he opened it blue flames came pouring out of it. They washed over Izuku, but did nothing to harm him. He rushed in to see if Mei was alright, but was met with a different sight. Mei was standing before him with a version of his own armor on a stand. However, she was wearing something completely different than her usual attire. She had her usual black tank top, but was wearing blue and black sweatpants along with a blue and white hoodie that had a weird insignia on it that was a blue dragon with the word 'karma' spelling out the body of the dragon. What stuck out most was the blue and black mask on her face though. It covered only the front of her face except her eyes which was left open. It had a lightning bolt right below the middle of the large eye hole and was adorned with two shields with X's in circles on the cheek bones, two horns on the side, and a giant dragon head with two giant horns pointing upwards along with a shield with an X in a circle, but on the X was 4 different words and a symbol in the middle. Izuku just stared at the girl before the door shut behind him and the lights came on. Soon Mei took off the mask and looked at Izuku with a grin on her face along with a shit ton of machines behind her. She walked up to him and booped his nose.

"So when were you going to tell me about the supernatural world? Or did you think I just knew how to adjust a sacred gear because I was just that good?" Mei said as she smiled and looked at Izuku's eyes and open mouth.

"So...want to tell me what happened then I'll tell you my side?" Mei said as she hugged Izuku tightly before the young boy and his dragon counterpart both came to their senses.

"WHATTTTTT!?"

"WHATTTT!?"
