Chapter 1: Quirk of the Soul
Izuku: But she does all OCs that appear in the story.
My Heroes Reborn
By Emma Iveli
Chapter 1: Quirk of the Soul
It was meant to be a simple rescue exercise for Class 1A. A rescues exercise at the USJ (that's Unforeseen Simulation Joint… not Universal Studios Japan). However a bunch of villains showed up thanks to a warp.
Aizawa AKA Eraserhead went to fight the villain while Thirteen, tried to evacuate the students.
Most of the villains went to fight Aizawa, however four of them just watched.
A amorphous black cloud, a strange bird like creature, a man who's costume consisted of many fake hand covering and a woman with white hair wearing a black kimono and cyan hakama.
"So All Might isn't here… I wonder if it has to do with the news." Said the woman.
"What do you mean?" asked the man covered in hands.
"Don't you pay attention to the news Shigaraki." Said the woman, "He had quite the busy morning."
"You could be helping them." Muttered the man named Shigaraki.
"And waste my quirk?" she asked, "I want the next generation not him… Besides it would be far kinder to use my quirk, then for you to just kill them…"
"You seem to be on high horse Priestess." Muttered Shigaraki.
"I might be a member of the League of Villains, but a life is still a life… and it's precious." Said the woman simple known as Priestess.
"I don't know why I recruited you." Said Shigaraki.
"Because I've taken down so many heroes permanently." Said Priestess, "Without a life lost!"
"You're track record isn't perfect." Said Shigaraki.
"Of course not… but no one is perfect." Said Priestess.
"You really should enact your plan." Said Shigaraki, "After all you are quite the boss."
Priestess smirked.
As the students evacuated, the cloud warped in in front of the door, bringing with him Priestess.
Thirteen stood in front of the students.
"The next generation of hero's. So full of ideals and dreams." Said Priestess, "So unaware of the real world…"
The cloud looked at Priestess with it's yellows eyes.
"Oh come now Kurogiri, I can't admire them a little… if only for their naiveté!" said Priestess.
The loud named Kurogiri looked towards the students and Thirteen.
"All Might was supposed to Be Here today, but I see no sign of him." said Kurogiri.
"He's probably busy saving old women and kittens from trees." Said Priestess, "It doesn't matter, word might spread to him if we're lucky."
Priestess began to clap her hands as if in a prayer.
"Wait! You're Priestess!" said Thirteen in shock.
"I am…" said Priestess after she was done praying she lifted her right hand and her fingers turned to red light, "And fortunately for you."
Thirteen looked at her in shock.
"Don't let her fingers touch you!" yelled Thriven to the students.
"What! Why?" asked one of the students a boy named Izuku Midoriya.
"Oh my someone asked, now I'm obligated to have you be one of the ones to experience my Quirk!" said Priestess with a smirk.
Her glowing fingers suddenly extended and they were too fast for any of the students to react.
One of them pricing Izuku, another piercing a blonde student with a tail named Mashirao Ojiro, yet another piercing a girl with black hair put into a side ponytail named Momo Yaoyorozu, the fourth piercing a girl with shoulder length brown hair named Ochaco Uraraka and the last piercing an invisible girl named Toru Hagakure.
"Did I get five? Wait… one of them is invisible, interesting." Thought the Priestess with a smirk.
The red glowing fingers retreated back to her hand returned to normal as all five students fell to their knees in shock.
"You have 30 Seconds Kurogiri to warp them, after all there's a 4 percent chance that any of them will fight back during their Feral State..." said Priestess.
However Priestess noticed two of the students Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima going in or the attack. With Bakugo blowing up Priestess right in the face.
However she quickly recovered.
"I would show you my quirk, but I can't use it for the next 24 hours." Said Prier tress as she got up from the explosion, "Also choosing to attack me instead of the amorphous black cloud behind me that is clearly the one with the warp quirk… wow clever."
Bakugo began to sweat as Kurogiri covered where the students stood in a black dome to scatter them through out the faculty.
However many students managed to getting warped in one-way or another. One of the group that made it was thanks to Tenya Iida, who managed to Ochaco and another student and Rikido Sato.
"So some of them escaped being scattered." Said Kurogiri.
"And one the ones I used my quirk on." Said Priestess, "Well bomb boy wasn't one of them so that's good."
Then she saw that one of the ones who escaped was Ochaco.
"Oh my it looks like one my targets was saved from your warp." Said Priestess.
"Will she attack?" asked Kurogiri.
"Let's see." Said Priestess "If I remember I used my ring finger on her."
She lifted up her ring as it began to glow blue.
"She will fight back, and not one of the 1 percent that will fight indiscriminately… a shame because that would have been interesting if we had a new villain on our hands." Said Priestess, "However something about her past life is quite interesting…"
"I've been counting and the 30 seconds are up." Said Kurogiri.
Ochaco was who was still in Iida's arms suddenly jumped up and ran towards the two villains ready with a palm strike.
However Priestess just dodged it. Then another strike.
"I know you can't hear, but I should say that won't work." Said Priestess, "You're body maybe have it, but it can't let it out so sorry about that."
She then kneed Ochaco in the chest.
"One of you needs to restrain her." Said Thirteen. "She's not in her right mind and she will hurt herself if she continues."
"I got her." Said a student named Hanta Sero, who had the tape from his arms wrap around Ochaco knowing it was about her and not Priestess.
"Wise choice!" said Priestess, "My quirk put into a sort of feral state, she was compete overwhelmed by it that she will attack all foes and protect all friends. And that's what she will do right now… and only that. She knows I am her enemy and she will protect her friends and jading by what she saw it will be no matter what."
""What did you do to her?" demined Iida.
"Well you see…" Said Pretties.
However before she could explain there was a loud explosion from the Ship Wreck Zone.
"You sent one my victims there." Said Priestess.
"I did" confirmed Kurogiri.
"Oh I guess I should see who then!" said Priestess, "It shouldn't take more than a minute!"
Her thumb began to glow blue.
"Interesting, two people who could harness a mystical energy, yet lack the body part to do so…" said Priestess, "I hope her Quirk doesn't make up for hat she is lacking."
In the mountain zone, two students watched as Momo Yaoyorozu beat down the villains extremely easily having created two swords with her quirk.
"I didn't know she could beat them like that!" said a boy named Denki Kaminari.
"There is something very wrong." Said a girl named Kyoka Jiro.
"What do you mean?" asked Kaminari.
"Yaoyorozu!" called out Jiro.
However Yaoyorozu was focused on the fight and nothing else seemed to matter.
"Oh yeah she was hit by the weird quirk." Said Kaminari.
"You only just remembered now." Said Jiro.
Back at the entrance.
Priestess' index finger glowed blue.
"Interesting…" said Priestess.
In the fire zone Mashirao Ojiro was all alone fighting the villains, quite easily.
"He's one of the Priestess' victims isn't he?" asked one of the villains.
"He is." Said another.
That was when Ojiro landed on the ground with his index finger hitting the ground, which then shattered on impact.
Back at the entrance, they saw another explosion at the shipwreck zone.
"It's not him however." Said Priestess, "His instincts would warn him not to be anywhere near the water."
Her pinkie began to glow blue.
"What…" said Priestess after getting the information.
In the Landslide Zone, Shoto Todoroki looked at what was going on with an expression that said "What the hell am I looking at?"
Confetti rained from the sky, music was blaring some somewhere, he was wearing a party hat (and not knowing it) and something was taking down the villains left and right.
Of course it would make more sense if was able to see his invisible classmate beating down the villains. He decided maybe it was for the best to interrogate one of them to get his mind off what was ever was going on.
He grabbed one of the fleeing villains and encased him in ice.
"You'll explain what's going on now!" said Todoroki.
"I think this might be Priestess' doing!" yelled the villain.
"Priestess?" asked Todoroki.
He watched as a cannon appeared from nowhere and blasted the villains away with confetti.
Back at the entrance.
Priestess sighed.
"Well that is Definitely Not the one in the Shipwreck zone." Said Priestess.
There was yet another explosion from the shipwreck zone, that was when something fell from… the celling… it was a body. It was shark like villain, it looked like he was beaten and not only that but burned.
"What have you unleashed?" asked Kurogiri.
"I don't know." Said Priestess, "It's my middle finger. The boy who asked why they should avoid my fingers. I'd rather no flip myself off, but looks like I have to."
Her middle finger glowed blue as she checked her finger.
Then she started screaming. Those students and Thirteen watched her in surprised. Kurogiri looked at her in some concern.
He had known her as an acquaintance for quite a while. Twice had she ever been shaken by her Quirk… both times she just showed up at his bar and demanded "Booze now!"
"I have unleashed a monster! A monster with scruples! Skills beyond anything I have ever seen from a world with powers too… but he didn't have any of those powers! He trained for everything, everything is skills! I have unleashed a monster! The Feral state slightly alters the body for skills such as his! His legs are going to be the world's most dangerous weapon! I have unleashed a monster! I am not exaggerating! They called them the monster trio! And he was the weakest of the three! I have unleashed a monster! I have unleashed monster! I have unleashed a monster! I have unleashed a monster! AND HE WILL REMAIN A HERO!" she ranted.
In the Shipwreck Zone, two students watched in shock as Izuku practically flew and swam around the ship kicking the villains out the water with powerful explosions.
Back at the entrance Priestess continued her rant.
"Black Leg or whatever he call himself in this life will stand beside All Might at the top! Villains will know the pain of his kicks! I have unleashed a monster! I have unleashed a monster!" she contented to rant as she broke into a mad laughter.
Priestess, real name unknown.
Quirk: Soul Revelation. With each of her fingers on her right hand she can make someone regain the memories of their most recent past life. However once she does it she is unable to use that particular finger for 24 hours. Not only that but during the 24 hours she can check the memories herself.
And indeed Izuku Midoriya had remembered his past life as the infamous pirate "Black Leg" Sanji, one of the strongest pirates to ever sail the Grand Line!
And with these memories and skills, he would one day become the World's Greatest Hero!
Next Time: Priestess recovers from her mental break, to come up with a plan to take out Izuku after remembering newly acquired weakness: Women. What will happen: Find out next time!
A/N: Here's the current guide for the reincarnations:
Izuku: Sanji
Ochaco: ?
Mashirao: ?
Momo: ?
Toru: ?
Hope you can guess who is who! I gave some hints... some big some small!
Chapter 2: Feral Stage
Thanks to Priestess' little breakdown she and Kurogiri didn't notice Thirteen instructing Iida to run and get help.
Kurogiri only noticed too late when Iida was out the door.
"I've unleashed a monster! I've unleashed a monster! I've unleashed a monster! I've unleashed a monster!" she rattled off.
However Kurogiri thanks to having some concern about Priestess finally noticed the missing Iida.
"It doesn't matter!" said Priestess.
"What is this about the monster you unleashed?" demanded Kurogiri.
"No of course not!" said Priestess who seemed to be calming down.
She took out her cellphone, which appeared to be a cheap throwaway thing. It made sense for a villain to have a cheap throw away phone.
"Five bars!" she said, "I don't know if anyone noticed yet, but he was taken down…"
In the mountain Zone, Momo stood over someone that had used an electrical Quirk, the fight was one sided, and he had tried to take her hostage, it didn't work.
Back at the Entrance…
It was clear Thirteen was calling for help.
"Now that I'm calm we can take down the biggest threat in this faculty." Said Priestess.
""That monster you unleashed?" asked Kurogiri.
And then another villain came down from the ceiling, burnt and beaten.
"Friction…" she explained.
"What?" asked Kurogiri.
"He learned how to use friction to set his leg on fire." She explained.
She saw how the students were looking at her.
"I know what you're thinking! That makes no god damn sense! But you know what! His entire world made no god damn sense. They used sailing ship but cyborgs are a thing! Island floating around in the sky! And a Starfish learn how to talk because he thought he was human! But that makes no sense! Because starfishes they don't' have no brain! So I'm guessing it's like the scarecrow!" yelled the Priestess.
"Should we do something?" asked Sato unsure how to respond to the villain who had clearly lost it.
"Just let her rant, it's distracting both of them…" said the student Mina Ashido, a girl with pink skin and hair with horns and strangely black sclera.
"We have to get rid of black leg! And I know his weakness!" said Priestess, "That's the only way we can escape!"
A few minutes earlier in the Shipwreck Zone
Three students were tossed into the water thanks to the warp.
One of them was Izuku Midoriya.
The effects of Priestess' Quirk came in stages.
The first stage was Cationic, during this stage the target is cationic for 30 seconds.
One of her classmate however Tsuyu Asui saw him in the water, thankfully her quirk gave her the powers of a frog.
However before she could grab him with tongue Izuku entered Stage 2: Feral.
It's perhaps better to finally go into detail about the stage.
The target enters an intense fight or flight state of mind made up instincts of their past life. Only 4 percent targets fought however, most run and hide. Out of that 4 percent, ¾ fight to protect the people they love recognizing them as friends however that last part is attacking indiscriminately.
However it was already established that Izuku was not part of that 1 Percent that attacked indiscriminately.
Once he entered the Feral Stage he ran towards the shark like villain that was swimming towards him.
No that wasn't a typo, he really did run towards the villain underwater.
IT was a move he created in his past life to outrun a bunch of cross dressers who wanted to make him one of them.
Trying to explain things and give context will only make things worse with his past life.
Well not all the time, but a lot of the time.
Anyway the point is he could move in the water in ways that most people could only dream of.
He saw another water villain swim towards him and he managed to kick him high into the air causing an explosion due to the force.
Tsuyu blinked and carried her other classmate who was sent with them to the surface of the water.
When they got there the small statured classmate cuddled into her breasts.
"For a frog you so have nice boobs." He said.
That was Minoru Mineta, he was the class pervert.
She of course slammed him into the deck of the ship when she jumped up.
She looked at the water with explosions.
"What's going on?" asked Mineta once he recovered from.
"It's Midoriya ribbit." Said Tsuyu.
That was when Izuku jumped out of the water, his entire leg on fire as he kicked the shark like villain away.
"I didn't know he could do that!" said Mineta.
"Something weird is going on." Said Tsuyu.
"What do you mean?" asked Mineta.
"If he was able to do this before why hasn't he used it? Ribbit" asked Tsuyu.
Mineta's eyes widened.
"Wait! Wasn't he hit that weird quirk?" asked Mineta.
"He was." Said Tsuyu.
Izuku landed nearby, as if looking for more of the villains.
"Midoriya?" asked Mineta.
He turned to the two.
And looked at them, both of them froze unsure what he was going to do.
Then his eyes erupted in pink hearts and he danced in a weird way.
"Okay… he is really acting strangely." Said Mineta with sweat drop.
"Ribbit…" said Tsuyu nodding.
However one of the villains in the water tired to use his quirk on the boat, thankfully Izuku sensed it and went in for the attack before it could be done.
They watched as his leg was once again set on fire and launched the water villain in the air, of course this was the guy that was landed a second time.
"He's not attacking us, so that's good." Said Mineta.
"We have to find out what that quirk did." Said Tsuyu.
"Do we have to?" asked Mineta watching him beat down the villains.
"Maybe later. Ribbit." Sighed Tsuyu admitting that maybe waiting until after all the villains were gone if he was kicking that much ass.
Soon enough all of the villains were taken care of.
Izuku looked around the facility. He jumped of the boat, however as he did another warp appeared in in front of him.
The warp sent in to the entrance.
"Are you sure it's wise." Said Kurogiri.
"Yes." Said Priestess, "Once I was able to regain myself I remember his weakness…"
Izuku turned to Priestess.
He was ready to kick her, however he stopped.
She smiled and grabbed his leg and slammed into the ground.
"He's a monster." Said Priestess seemingly going back to how she was before her freak out, "But as I said he's a monster with scruples."
She saw on him and knees him in the back forcing him to the ground.
"Priestess!" yelled Kurogiri.
"His adoptive father made sure he would never hurt a frail woman… this almost got him killed multiple times! I should have realized that before!" said Priestess.
"Priestess!" said Kurogiri.
"I just have to hold him down and run out the clock." Said Priestess.
That was when she was wrapped up with tape.
"What!" she yelled.
Kurogiri grumbled, he knew that Priestess often had a one-track mind and she had completely forgotten that the other students were there.
That was when she was dragged over to the students and Sato punched her hard.
Izuku got up and glared at Sato. It wasn't a "You're my enemy" glare. But rather "When this is all over I'm kicking your ass" glare.
"Why is he looking at me like that?" asked Sato with a sweat drop.
"Something tells me I do want to know. Said Sero with a sweat drop.
That was when Izuku turned towards Kurogiri.
He flew towards the amorphous cloud.
As he did his leg turned black.
The kicked actually launched the amorphous black cloud into the wall.
"Of course Haki worked on him!" laughed Priestess as she got up it was clear she had snapped again, "I've unleashed a monster! He can hurt Kurogiri! I've unleashed a monster! He'll teach other heroes Haki. I've unleashed a monster! I've unleashed a monster! I've unleashed a monster!"
Kurogiri managed to get up. He looked at Izuku but knew that it wasn't a good time to do anything to him, not while he was in the feral stat at least.
He warped to Priestess then warped both of them away.
That was when they all heard a terrible scream coming from the central plaza.
"Oh no!" said Mina.
"Aizawa!" said a student with strange tentacles coming out of his arms named Mezo Shoji.
"Before we do anything we have to…" said Thirteen.
But however before space themed hero could finish their sentence, Izuku had already ran towards where the scream came from. Not only that but he was running in air.
"Hey!" called out Mineta.
Both he and Tsuyu showed up.
"You two are all right! That's good." Said Mina.
They noticed the taped up Ochaco, struggling looking like she was going to help their teacher as well.
"Do you have any idea what's going on with them, ribbit?" asked Tsuyu.
"I do… that villain is known as Priestess." Said Thirteen. "And she can force her victims to relive their past lives."
In the central plaza the strange bird like monster was beating up Aizawa… though beating up was a something of a misnomer.
He was crushing Aizawa.
That was when Kurogiri and Priestess appeared in the central plaza.
"So have to taken out Thirteen and the next generation?" Shigaraki.
"There was a problem." Said Kurogiri.
"Oh really? What?" asked Shigaraki.
"I've unleashed a monster! I've unleashed a monster! I've unleashed a monster!" said Priestess.
Kurogiri faltered, still reeling from the kick.
"What happened!" he demanded.
"Well I scared up royally! I've discovered a brand new power level when it comes to reincarnation." Said Priestess twitching all over, "And he is seriously OP, you know what I'm saying!"
"Please don't speak video lingo." Said Shigaraki
"Yeah… you can pull it off, but I can't." muttered Priestess.
"How OP is he?" asked Shigaraki, "I mean if you're saying that."
That was when suddenly Izuku practically came from the sky and delivered an extremely harsh kick that sent the strange bird like creature reeling and freeing Aizawa.
"His kicks are extremely strong, he can use friction to set his leg on fire giving him more fire power, harness will power into an armor for his legs which not only give them yet another power boost but can harm Kurogiri and also use the same power to predict movement and sense people… Oh he can run in the air and water…" said Priestess with her eye twitching.
"What else has gone wrong?" asked Shigaraki.
"They have gotten in contact with the outside world." Said Kurogiri.
Shigaraki began to starch at his neck.
"It's game over, soon we will be swarmed by Pro-Heroes." Muttered Shigaraki, "We're back at the star screen."
Neither Priestess or Kurogiri said anything else.
"There is no way this can possibly get worse!" yelled Shigaraki.
That was when Momo suddenly showed up and chopped off the strange bird like thing's arm off.
"You have got to be kidding me!" yelled Priestess, "She has a freakin' sword! Why does she have a sword!"
The bird like creature grew another arm and knocked the sword out of Momo's hands.
However she just created another weapon, this time a battle-axe.
"Oh and her quirk makes up for lack of magic!" said Priestess, "Great!"
Izuku looked at Momo and started dancing like earlier, then Momo gave him a look and he stopped.
The two looked at the strange thing.
"So do you think those two can stop Nomu?" asked Shigaraki.
"I don't know… I know nothing about Nomu, so I don't know if I should under estimate or over estimate it." Said Priestess.
"How long do they have?" asked Kurogiri.
"I haven't been keeping track." Said Priestess.
"You know we should see if we can get rid of these two pests before the Pros get here." Said Shigaraki.
"Life is precious." She muttered, "But those two… I've just created two that if they live will be among the strongest heroes in history…"
In the Landslide Zone, Todoroki got the information that he needed and started to leave the Landslide zone.
As he did he discovered a plate of cupcakes in his hands.
"Where did these come from!" he thought.
Meanwhile in the Fire Zone, Ojiro was trying to find his way out, but he couldn't. It was as if he as lost.
Meanwhile with Iida he continued to run, however he stopped when he saw someone on the way there.
Back at the USJ entrance, Thirteen finished their explanation about the Quirk.
"That Quirk is really weird." Said Mina.
"So all five of them remember their last past lives." Said Shoji.
"Yes, and unfortunately, most hit with that Quirk, quit being heroes." Explained Thirteen.
"What!" yelled all of the students in shock.
They all looked at Ochaco.
"However there is a rule of thumb when it comes to her Quirk." Explained Thirteen, "If any hero fights back without hurting their allies, then they will remain a hero."
The students looked hopeful.
"However that was with adults." Sighed Thirteen, "We don't know how it would be like with teenagers."
This caused all of them look uncertain.
Back in the central plaza, Izuku and Momo looked at the creature known as Nomu. Ready to fight.
However unfortunately they were unaware that the feral stage was only temporary as Stage 3: Unconsciousness would soon hit.
And hopefully time would be on their side.
Chapter 3: The Cavalry Arrives
The two students in their feral states looked at the strange creature in front of them. If either were in their right mind neither would want to fight it.
However both were in a feral state with new skills and memories forced upon them. One a great pirate and the other a warrior mage.
Both of them ready to fight.
Izuku's leg was on fire as he kicked Nomu hard, however it didn't seem to affect it.
However Momo then rammed the battle-axe into its shoulder, however it just regenerated from the wound.
"So what are Nomu's quirks?" asked Priestess.
"Super Regeneration and Shock Absorption." Explained Shigaraki.
"I guess I underestimated him." said Priestess, "Unless Haki is able to over power the shock absorption."
"What is Haki?" asked Shigaraki.
"It's a power from his original world. Will power or ambition given form in power." Said Priestess.
What." Said Shigaraki.
"Why do you think I snapped because of him." said Priestess.
"So another Orchestra Rave." Said Shigaraki.
"I wish…" said Priestess, "The girl is another Orchestra Rave! Using her quirk to regain what she lost through reincarnation. Him on the other hand… he lost nothing through reincarnation… everything he had was pure skill…"
"Just why we need to get rid of him." said Shigaraki.
Meanwhile Momo dropped the battle-axe and created a rather large spear.
However before she could attack Nomu, the strange creature readied a punch.
However Izuku pulled her out the way in time.
His leg once again turned back and he managed to get a good hist into the Nomu.
"It looks like the shock absorption is weak against Haki." Muttered Priestess,
"What…" said Shigaraki.
"Just run out the clock… just run out the clock…" muttered Priestess having another breakdown, thoguh small this time.
As she said that however the entrance door suddenly exploded.
They saw the saw the figure standing in the doorway. It was the Hero All Might.
"Have no fear!" called out All Might, "Because I am here!"
"All Might." Said Thirteen.
"I heard about Priestess." Said All Might looking grim.
He gritted his teeth.
(Flashback)
As Iida continued running he saw All Might headed that way.
He explained to All Might about the villains.
"I see… I had a bad feeling about it when I couldn't get in contact with them." He explained.
That's not all, I was told to warn about a villain called Priestess who used her quirk on my classmates!" said Iida.
"What!" yelled All Might.
"It's true, Uraraka, Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, Ojiro and a student I'm unsure about all fell victim." Said Iida.
"Keep going. I have to get to the USJ." Said All Might.
It was clear he was extremely angry and Iida continued on his way.
(End of Flashback)
"Have they fought?" asked All Might.
"I have confirmed both Midoriya and Uraraka. But only them so far." Explained Thirteen, "And neither indiscriminately."
All Might nodded, he noticed Ochaco still trying to escape the tape but Sero was trying to make sure she didn't escape.
He knew he had to fight the remains of the villains.
He ran over as fast as he could in his current state.
Which was still pretty damn fast.
Of course the villains saw that he was here.
"So All Might did show up after all, I guess we got a continue." Said Shigaraki.
"Yeah, but we still need to get rid of those two." Said Kurogiri referring to Izuku and Momo.
"I will be more aware of my surroundings this time." Said Priestess snapping out her latest breakdown.
Kurogiri nodded knowing she meant.
All Might watched the two students fight off Nomu, unsure how to react.
However suddenly Izuku was tackled by Priestess then suddenly Kurogiri surround Momo with his mist.
"Sorry but those two pests." Said Shigaraki, "Nomu! Take care of him."
And so Nomu began to fight All Might.
Priestess watched the fight that the symbol of Peace was having with the strange creature.
"I won't kill you…" she said taunting the boy understand her, "I still think life is precious… after all I've seen so many deaths, including yours. But don't worry someone else will take you out! Once you enter stage 3…"
Izuku struggled sunder her, he tried lifting his leg, but he just couldn't attack.
"Sorry but we both know you can't hit women." Said Priestess with a smirk.
She then looked at up.
She saw 5 students had gathered.
Bakugo had attacked Kurogiri armor, his one weak point (unless hitting him with Haki) while Kirishima had managed to strike Priestess getting her off of Izuku.
"Not again." Muttered Priestess.
The other three students were Todoroki, Kaminari and Kyoka.
"Hey, Todoroki, what's with the party hat?" asked Kaminari trying not to laugh.
"I had no idea this was on me." He said taking it off.
"Seriously?" asked Kyoka.
Both Momo and Izuku got up. Izuku looked at the Nomu and All Might fight, it wasn't going good for All Might Nomu had All might in it's grip, the spot of his scar. He would have glared Kirishima, however his instincts were telling him that this was more important than hurting a woman.
Izuku once again activate his Haki with his leg turning black.
He ran towards the fight.
However he suddenly collapsed, as did Momo. Both of them passed out.
"Oh! Look like times up!" said Priestess.
At the entrance Ochaco finally passed out.
At the Landslide zone all the partying stopped as Toru fell to the ground unconscious.
In the Fire Zone, Ojiro finally fell.
Back in the main plaza…
"What just happened?" asked Kaminari.
"I managed to get all the information about what's going on." Muttered Todoroki, "It's her Quirk, after a certain amount of time her targets pass out."
"It's true…" said Priestess, "It finally overwhelmed their bodies after it overwhelmed their minds."
Priestess looked at them and smirked.
It should now be pointed out that her hair was long and she had a black ribbon tied in her hair.
She untied the ribbon.
"I really didn't want to use this against children, but I have no choice." She said.
It was clear that the ribbon was a weapon of some kind and all of them prepared for it.
Expect for Bakugo who was focused on Kurogiri.
She stretched out the ribbon and grabbed it by his arm flinging him away and getting him off the amorphous cloud man.
"You bitch!" yelled Bakugo as he landed hard into the ground.
"Now, you have to get rid of Black Leg and Titania." Said Priestess, "After all I hate to see them grow up to be heroes…"
"No!" yelled Shigaraki.
They watched as All Might delivered several blows to Nomu and then launched him out of the facility.
"You know what! I'm getting rid of all pretense!" yelled Priestess, "Today's a shitty day! And I'm out! I'm just fucking out!"
She took out a wad of cash out of her kimono. Kurogiri sighed and he created a warp for her knowing what it meant.
"I apologize for everything!" she muttered, "I'm unsure if the Nomu thing would have happened if I wasn't here… but I apologize for the future monster hero and the other powerful hero I just created!"
"Just leave it on the bar." Muttered Kurogiri as Priestess went through the warp.
"Thanks! If you're not back in a half hour… all I say I can't make any promises!" said Priestess as she went through.
The students watched as the villain who targeted their classmates disappeared.
Shigaraki glared at All Might, struggling with what just happened and scratching his neck.
Kurogiri warped over to him.
"Priestess has already left." Said Kurogiri.
"Of course she left." Muttered Shigaraki, "This is game over!"
That was when he was shot.
At the entrance the other teachers had arrived with Iida.
One of them ran over to Ochaco.
"Priestess." Said Thirteen.
"We heard." Said the hero who was named Ectoplasm.
Shigaraki was shaking after all was said and done.
Kurogiri knew that they had to flee with the pros arrived.
He looked at All Might, and noticed Steam coming from him.
"All Might!" yelled Shigaraki deicing to have a speech before he left, "This isn't over for the League of Villains. One day we will kill you! You might be the symbol of peace! But for how much longer!"
With that both villains were warped away.
All Might breathed a sigh of relief glad that the teachers arrived sooner than later.
HEe also knew that his form would last much longer.
He saw that the five students that came to help were looking right at him in awe.
"Shit this is bad!" he thought.
Thankfully another of the teacher Cementoss created a wall between him and the students.
"Hey why did you do that! Shouldn't we see if All Might is okay after that fight!" yelled Kaminari.
Then he was jabbed in the face by Kyoka's earphone jacks.
"He shouldn't be the one we should be worried about." She said.
They looked at their unconscious classmates and teacher.
"We'll find everyone in the class and explain what's going on." Said Cementoss, "We can only hope that at least one of them will continue their education."
"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Bakugo.
"We'll explain when everyone is gathered." Said Cementoss.
Meanwhile in a bar, Priestess was holding her middle finger to her forehead while waiting for Kurogiri's return. She wasn't expecting them to be back less than a minute.
"So you decided to leave the thugs." Said Priestess.
Then she noticed the gunshot wound.
"Where's the first aid kit." Sighed Priestess.
"Why would I want your help." Said Shigaraki.
"Because life is precious including gamer trash." Said Priestess.
"What did you say?" asked Shigaraki, "Especially since I've seen you hit the bottle when things go wrong."
"Three times! And yes I'm counting now!" said Priestess.
"Stop fighting you two." Said a voice.
They both turned to a TV with a captain saying Voice Only.
"I do have some interesting news to report before we started our stupid bickering." Said Priestess, "Why I can't look into the memories of my targets clearly, I've been working on figuring out ways to expand my quirk. I'm starting to be able to sense connections between souls in this life."
"So what does that mean?" asked Shigaraki.
"I was sensing an odd connection between All Might and the monster I unleashed ." she explained.
"A connection?" asked the voice.
"I don't know what it is, but it's strong." Said Priestess.
"I see… it's a good thing that you came back then." Said the voice.
"What do you think the connection is then." Said Kurogiri.
"I might have a theory." Said the voice.
The three continued to discuss things with the voice about the League of Villains with it being clear that Priestess would be a higher ranked member going forward.
Even if in a sense she made things worse for the group.
Back at the USJ, they found all of the targets of her Quirk, they had managed find the other two students who fell victim to Priestess' quirk.
With all of the students found sage and gathered it was decided that Principal Nezu would explain what had happened to the students.
"Their past lives? Seriously?" asked Kaminari.
"Yes it's true." Said Principal Nezu.
"Thirteen gave us the same explanation." Said Shoji.
"Does the reincarnation give the targets new powers?" asked Mina.
"No it shouldn't, it is said that it does help the targets gain muscle mass in order to handle their soul's fighting style, it shouldn't give new abilities unless it's physical based or could replicated by their quirk." Said Nezu.
Those that watched Izuku fight were gaping.
"How strong was he in his past life!" yelled Mineta.
"Oh man! Did you see him fly like that! How did he do that! I couldn't even get a hold of him!" yelled Sero.
"Seriously that pathetic weakling?" asked Bakugo.
"You weren't there…" said Mina, "You didn't see what he did."
Bakugo just gritted his teeth.
"Unfortunately we don't know if your classmates will continue their education." Sighed Nezu, "About 94 percent of her victims stop being heroes."
"You're kidding!" yelled Iida.
"Why?" asked a student with a bird like head name Fumikage Tokoyami.
"They've gained the memories of completely different lives, and not only that but more often than not of a completely different world. With the emotional baggage of their past lives. They know what it is like to die, to lived a completely different life. Usually if the hero was a fighter of some kind or feel like that their past lives were no different hero work then they continue. Usually if they fight back they will continue hero work. However considering their age… I don't know." Said Nezu.
"So they're going to quit?" asked Kyoka.
"Not necessarily." Said Nezu, "But we can't rule that out, we won't know until they're awake and their minds clear which would be for until sometime tomorrow or the day after."
The students were quiet.
"However I already have a plan to help them. After all not every hero quit being a hero." Said Nezu.
Afterward he told them about Aizawa's state and that he as going to be okay.
After doing a few other things including telling the police that they could search the school he called his top choice for who could help the students.
Elsewhere at a hero agency. A hero in his mid 20s with blond hair wearing a with some sort of blue visor on forehead, a set of head phones around neck was on the computer looking up some sort of blue prints.
"There's a call from UA for you." Said a somewhat robotic female voice.
"UA? Why are they calling?" asked the hero.
"Don't ask me, I'm not psychic." Responded the voice.
The hero touched a button nearby.
"You got me." Said the hero.
"Hello this Principal Nezu from UA." Said Nezu on the other line.
"Yeah, I figured when UA called me." Said the hero, "Aiko told me."
"That assistant is really quite amazing." Said Nezu on the other end.
"Let me guess you want me to give a lecture for the support course." Said the hero.
"I wish that was the reason why I was contacting you." Sighed Nezu.
"Why are you calling me." Said the hero.
"There was an incident at one of faculties, a group that calls it self the League of Villains attacked while students were there." Explained Nezu.
"Is about wanting Aiko to help or is there another reason you're calling." Said the hero.
" "One of the villains that attacked Priestess." Explained Nezu.
"What!" yelled the Hero, "Wait! You said students were there? Did she attack any of the students."
"Five students fell victim to her Quirk." Said Nezu.
"What year?" asked the Hero.
"First years I'm afraid." Said Nezu.
"You have got be kidding me." Muttered the Hero, "I take it, you to hire me as a special councilor for them. I mean I am considered to be the unofficial leader of her victims who remained heroes"
"Yes." Said Nezu, "Precisely the reason why I asked. Of course, you don't have to take it…"
"No I want to." Said the hero.
"Thank you so much." Said Nezu, "We'll work everything out when you get here."
"All right! Later!" said the hero.
"See you soon." Said Nezu.
The call ended.
"So… I'm guessing a they group of some kind." Said Aiko.
"Yeah. I'm already getting ideas." Said the hero, "Call Yuzu. I need to ask her a favor."
"Right away!" said Aiko.
With the USJ Incident passed, the five students would have to deal with their new memories… and thankfully they will have someone who knows exactly what they are going through.
Chapter 4: Recovery Begins
Izuku's head had finally cleared. The 3rd stage was unconsciousness. While the 4th and Final Stage was a daze that last for nearly a day, after all the brain had to reorganize itself with new memories.
Of course with everything that happened he was in the hospital.
And Izuku was confused, not only because of the new memories now in his mind.
Memories of an abusive childhood with a madman for a father who had plans to take over an entire ocean. Running away from it thanks to his older sister, ending up stranded on a rock for days nearly starving to death with a pirate who sacrificed so much for him. Eventually working with the man who saved him in a restaurant until meeting a rubber man who recruited him into his rag tag crew. A crew that was his family.
He didn't understand any of it…
And what was stranger was that sometimes he acted like the man from his memories, like flirting with the nurses. Not to mention the sudden urge to start smoking. Among other things.
"What's wrong with me." He muttered to himself.
That was when the door knocked.
"I'm coming in anyways!" said a voice.
It was the hero that Nezu called.
"Izuku Midoriya, right?" asked the hero.
"Yeah, who are you?" asked Izuku.
"My name is Hibiki Kinzoku." Said the hero, "But I'm also the hero Orchestra Rave!"
"No way! I've heard of you!" yelled Izuku going into full fan boy mode, "You're the Music Player Hero! Able to turn music into conclusive blasts that you can use to attack and fly! Not only that but you're a technological genius and sometime about three years ago you became an accomplished inventor."
"Wow! A hero fan boy! Wished someone should have warned me." Joked Hibiki.
"So what of it." Said Izuku suddenly glaring at him.
"Okay… someone has conflicting personalities." Said Hibiki sitting down.
"I'm sorry I don't know what's wrong with me." Said Izuku.
"Let me guess you got a ton of memories from someone from a completely different world stuffed into your head and now you're dealing with the problems that comes with it." He said.
"How… how did you know." Said Izuku.
"You're not the first person to fall victim to that Quirk." Said Hibiki.
"What did she do?" asked Izuku remembering the last thing before everything was a blur after falling victim to Priestess' quirk.
"Made you remember your past life." Said Hibiki.
"Wait… everything that happened…" said Izuku.
"Happened to you in a past life…" said Hibiki nodding.
"What seriously?" asked Izuku.
"It's true." Said Hibiki.
"Everything that happened to Sanji…" said Izuku.
"Happened to you in another life." Said Hibiki, "Which is why your Principal asked me to be a councilor for you and your all other classmates who also fell victim. There's four others. We're going to have a therapy group to talk about everything in about a half an hour."
"Why?" asked Izuku.
"Unless your life was filled to the brim of sunshine and rainbows you have a lot of problems going on inside your head." Said Hibiki.
"No, of course it wasn't." said Izuku.
"Good." Said Hibiki who then stared at Izuku with a sweat drop, "Because if it was that would freak me out! Because one of you classmates did have a life of sunshine rainbows and friendship! And that was would really weird if there were two of you."
"Please tell me you're joking." Said Izuku with a sweat drop.
"I wish!" said Hibiki, "And even if it was… there's still the other emotional baggage… I mean you have friends and family that you will never see again. People who you loved and you loved back… all gone in a snap."
He thought back to his crew and a few other people.
"You're right." Said Izuku.
"So many people are hurting because of her, and I want to help her other victims." Said Hibiki.
Izuku nodded knowing he was right.
"Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!" said Aiko from a device on his belt.
"Seriously…" said Hibiki.
"Come on I'm supposed to give you the same amount of time with each kid and you're only half way done!" said Aiko.
"Sorry…" said Hibiki, "I see you later."
He placed a clock on the nightstand.
"Aiko will tell you when it's time for the session." Said Hibiki, "Don't worry, she'll only enter it when it's time to give you privacy."
"Oh come on! I won't blackmail him with anything." Said Aiko.
"The fact that you keep bringing that up means that you probably will." Muttered Hibiki.
"If I have haven't turned evil yet, doesn't mean Ill suddenly turn evil!" countered Aiko.
Hibiki closed the door to give Izuku privacy.
He began to think about everything. He hated a lot of stuff that happened to his past life but tat the same time it was extremely comforting to know that those memories of that pirate crew were real, the good and the bad times.
However something hit him… a certain thing from his childhood… both childhoods.
"How can that happened twice…" he muttered to himself.
However there was another knock on the door.
"Come in!" he called out wondering if Hibiki forgot something.
Turned out it wasn't Hibiki but rather All Might in his true form.
"Are you feeling?" he asked.
"Better." Said Izuku.
"There's a lot we need to talk about." Said All Might sitting in the chair.
"Yeah." Said Izuku nodding figuring something went down after he was hit by the quirk.
"First off I don't want to burden you with everything if you want to quit being a hero." Said All Might.
"Wait… what?" asked Izuku.
"I guess I have known that you wouldn't want to quit." Said All Might, "About 94 percent of Priestess' victims quit being heroes."
"Why?" asked Izuku.
"Most people didn't have fighting abilities or were anything close to heroes in their past lives." Said All Might, "It quickly got to them and didn't have that drive any more. I have heard of those weren't fighters in their past life counting being heroes, but it's rare."
Before Izuku could explain anything.
"But I already know you were fighter." Said All Might.
"Wait! How did you know about that?" asked Izuku.
"After you were hit the quirk, you entered a sort of flight or fight feral state. Thankfully it allowed you recognize friends and foes. From what I heard you really let loose on many of the villains." Said All Might.
"Wait… if I was fighting why did the hell you think I would quit!" yelled Izuku acting like his past life.
He then started blushing.
"Sorry about that I didn't mean to yell at you like that!" said Izuku.
"It's okay, it's actually very common for people in your situation to switch between the personalities of this life and their past lives." Said All Might.
"Oh okay…" said Izuku.
"Anyways we weren't sure, due to the fact that well… you're the first time she went after teenagers." Said All Might.
"I guess that makes sense." Said Izuku, "But I can't just give up on my dream… I was part of a crew. And each one of that a dream that we each strived for. If I just gave up on my dream in this life, I feel like I would be letting them down."
All Might smiled and nodded.
"I can imagine my captain saying something along the lines of "Go be a hero and share you meat with everyone."" Said Izuku with a sad smile.
There was an awkward silence.
"What?" asked All Might.
"It had to do with his idea on what contuses a hero." Said Izuku going back into Sanji mode, "The shitty idiot had a lot of weird ideas…"
"So a crew?" asked All Might.
"We were pirates." Sighed Izuku knowing it would come eventually.
"Wait… what?" asked All Might.
"Look we were criminals but the government was more often the bad guy! They did a lot of very terrible things all so they could stay in powers." Said Izuku panicking.
"I see…" said All Might.
"Besides we were seen as heroes on so many islands because we saved them." Said Izuku.
"I'm not judging you for being a criminal in a past life, it was a just very surprising." Said All Might.
Izuku breathed a sigh of relief.
"You weren't the captain. So what were you in your past life?" asked All Might, "Considering the fight you put up you were the First Mate at least right."
"I was the cook." Said Izuku.
"Seriously?" asked All Might staring at them.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Izuku glaring at him.
"You know there's other stuff we have to talk about." Said All Might changing the subject.
"About what?" asked Izuku.
"I fought at the USJ." Said All Might.
Izuku froze when he said that.
"You saw that news that morning, did you?" asked All Might.
"I did." Said Izuku.
"I'll be lucky if I hold the form for an hour." Explained All Might, "It didn't help after I heard about what Priestess did to you."
"I'm sorry." Said Izuku.
"It's fine." He said, "These things happen."
Both of them sat silent for a few minutes.
Then All Might saw a plate of cupcakes.
"So I guess you've been getting visitors." Said All Might.
Izuku jumped when he saw the cupcakes.
"Not again!" yelled Izuku.
"What do you mean?" asked All Might.
"They keep showing up!" yelled Izuku, "I asked the nurses and they don't know who's giving them to me! Not only that but their my favorite kind too! It's really freaking me out! I'm scared!"
"It's fine! I'm sure someone is just trying to reassure you with their quirk…" said All Might.
Then he saw Izuku eating them.
"If you're scared why are you eating them?" asked All Might.
"It's a long story…" Izuku sighed as they ate them.
All Might figured out that a past life thing.
After calming down, they both looked at the countdown clock, it had less than 10 minutes on the clock.
"Maybe I should give you some alone time before your therapy session." Said All Might.
"Thanks." Said Izuku.
"Everything's going to change." Said All Might.
"I know you don't have to tell me." Said Izuku in Sanji mode again moving his hands like he was trying to light a cigarette and then caught himself.
All Might looked at him.
"Chain smoker." Sighed Izuku.
"I see…" chucked All Might.
He left leaving Izuku with his thoughts.
"I didn't ask who the other four are." Thought Izuku realizing it, "Oh no… what if one of them… is…"
He paled, he wasn't sure how he could handle Bakugo being one of them, not when he had those memories now.
"Hey! It's time for your therapy session." Said Aiko from the clock.
"Oh…" said Izuku.
"Wait… you have to bring me, I'm the one leading you to the room they set up" said Aiko from the clock.
Izuku held the countdown clock and following her instructions.
"Deku!" called Ochaco.
The breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voice.
"So you fell victim too." Sighed Ochaco.
"Yeah." Sighed Izuku.
He faced her and his eyes turned to hearts.
"Uh… Deku…" said Ochaco.
"Oh sorry about that… "he said getting out of Sanji mode.
"It's fine." Sighed Ochaco then she began to blush a little.
"Is something wrong?" asked Izuku.
"Oh no! Everything's all right!" she said clearly flustered.
"I'm sure it's just your past life personalities." Said Toru making the two jump due to being invisible expect for her hospital clothes, "Oh sorry about that! Didn't mean to scare you."
He mentally breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't Bakugo.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
"I've been dealing with them too… and new weird powers." Said Toru.
"What do you mean new weird powers?" asked Ochaco.
"I don't know." Said Toru with a shrug.
"You know it's rude to leave us hanging." Said Aiko from Toru's countdown clock.
The three headed to the room, right when they got to the room, they saw Momo was there.
"Oh Yaoyorozu." Said Izuku mentally breathing a sigh of relief.
"So it's you three." She said a little nervously.
"Yeah." Said Izuku then his eyes erupted into hearts again.
"Is he all right?" asked Momo.
"Past life personality trait." Said Toru.
"I see." Said Momo with a sweat drop.
They opened the door to find Hibiki there with Ojiro, making Izuku breath a final sigh of relief.
In the room was a small circle of six chairs.
"Good you all made it." Said Hibiki, "I had to bring him in."
"Why?" asked Izuku as he and the girls took seats.
"I'll explain after a few explanations." Said Hibiki, "First off this group will have three rules. The first rule is the most important: What we talk about in the group remains in the group, of course you can tell other people about your own problems, but you can't tell anyone about everyone else's."
Everyone nodded.
"Now the second rule: You have to refer to your past life as if you was you…" said Hibiki, "There have been cases in the past where other victims tried to distance themselves, it didn't end well for them..."
The five teens were concerned by this but agreed to it, it helped for Izuku at least he wasn't trying to distance himself.
"And the final rule…" he said with the upmost seriousness.
The teens were nervous about the rule.
"We refer to each other by either Given names or nicknames." Said Hibiki.
This just made the five teens sweat drop.
"We're going to meeting often, unless you chose to quit the hero course, so we're going to be learning a lot about each other." Said Hibiki, "Also I was American in my past life and it's common to use given names."
"That does make sense." Said Ochaco.
"Just remember the nickname thing." Said Aiko.
"I should also properly introduce you to my assistant Aiko." Said Hibiki.
"Yeah, what is up with that voice any ways." Said Toru.
"Well to be honest I am not human, I am merely an AI." Said Aiko, "In fact my really name is A.I.K.O."
"What does that stand for?" asked Ojiro… well Mashirao.
"It stands for Artificial Intelligence Knows Objectively." Said Aiko.
"Objectively what?" asked Momo.
There were was a small silence before Aiko answered, "That I'm better than you."
That was when that repeating air horn sound effect played causing everyone in the room to sweat drop.
"But in all seriousness this guy likes giving his AIs he builds acronym names." Said Aiko, "And that was the best O word he could come up with."
"Yeah…" sighed Hibiki blushing.
"I'm going to be here for most sessions." Said Aiko.
"Anyways for sessions with a set plan like today I'll use myself as a set example and will sometimes use my friend Yuzu as an example as well."
"Yuzu?" asked Ochaco.
"She's another pro hero who was a fellow victim." Said Hibiki, "You might have heard of Crystal Harmony."
"Wait! I've heard her! She has the quirk Crystallization! It allows her to create any crystal she wants to!" said Izuku going to into fan boy mode then started blushing.
"Still the fan boy." Cheered Ochaco.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
"Wait… why are you best friends with her?" asked Mashirao.
"You see the victims who remained heroes…" said Hibiki.
The four that didn't know this fact was a littlie concerned by that sentence.
"Tend to meet up often in different ways for therapy groups and other littlie get-togethers." Explained Hibiki, "We hit it off and now we consider each other best friends."
"Why?" asked Toru.
"Well it's kind of funny. While we were from different worlds, we were both from America in the same time frame, the late 20th Century/Early 21st century." Said Hibiki.
"Wait… how do you know it was different worlds?" asked Momo.
He thought about the big differences then he remembered a good one to ease them into it.
"Well first off in her world, you know Leap Day?" asked Hibiki.
"Leap Day?" asked Izuku.
"Oh February 29th." Said Toru.
"Yeah, it turns out in her world it's a big deal. There traditions like you eat rhubarb and wear blue and yellow. The holiday figure Leap Day William who comes out of the Mariana trench to turn children's tears into candy. And a 90's holiday movie starring Jim Carrey." Explained Hibiki.
"Who's Jim Carrey?" whispered Ochaco.
"I have no idea." Said Izuku.
"While in my world… well let's just say that I'll get into that later." Said Hibiki, "But she did give me permission to use her sometimes as an example."
He wasn't going to tell everyone thing about Yuzu's past life, the personal stuff was course off limits like the whole about not moving Cleveland to be with a guy and the stuff he really shouldn't talk to teens about like the time she had a three way with James Franco and a body pillow with the picture of an anime girl on it.
It also irked him to no end that she had the better celebrity sex story.
"But yeah she was a comedy writer who worked on some TV shows back in her life." Said Hibiki.
"Shouldn't you be talk about your self?" asked Mashirao.
"I guess you're right." Said Hibiki, "You see another difference between mine and Yuzu's world is something that happened. Heroes not too far off from what happened years ago started appearing. I was the first to go public, although I didn't have anything similar to a quirk. I just had a suit that gave me the power to fight. I had fought many villains in my past life, fought off against a god and alien invaders. Even part of a team… In my past life I was Iron Man."
The five teens were surprised to find out that their we councilor was a Hero in their past life.
After all while they did have interesting abilities from their past life… none of them could be considered heroes in the sense they thought of the word…
