~O~

Midoriya opened his eyes slowly. He without a doubt had passed out for a good few hours. Maybe it was the next day already, but he couldn't tell because there weren't any windows in the area he was being held captive in.

Wait, wasn't he in a small dimly lit room?

This place was way bigger than that. Sure, the lights weren't on but there was this huge screen of glass plate from which light was coming into the area. It was probably separating the area and another room.

An observation panel.

A wide area.

And... Midoriya's hands weren't tied either.

He was free to move.

That's where something clicked in his mind and all the dots finally connected.

'All For One said to help the villains with quirks not a single quirk. So, that means my theory was right! All I have to see now is if the quirk he gave me is the one I thought he would or if it's something else...' Midoriya thought to himself.

As if on cue, the lights in the wide area turned on.

The blinding white lights in the empty far-stretched area stung Midoriya's emerald green eyes for a minute before got used to it. And then there came a voice through some speakers installed in the walls. Midoriya turned to the glass screen and there he saw All For One standing with Kurogiri.

"Glad to see you're on your feet just fine." All For One said, "Just like I thought. If someone was capable of withstanding the current power of One For All , they can sure handle another quirk perfectly."

"Another quirk...?" Midoriya asked, trying to look and sound as much dumbfounded as he could. He couldn't let All For One know anything.

"Why yes, if you haven't noticed yet." All For One replied, "You agreed to help the League, didn't you? Trust me, you are a wonderfully skilled asset we can use in any field we want. But for right now, our biggest problem is getting powerful and unique quirks for creating Nomus."

Midoriya clenched his fists, not in anger but from the high interest that was developing and gradually rising in his brain.

He could see where this was going.

This was it. This was the moment he planned for.

This was exactly how Midoriya thought it would go.

"Due to my sudden break out, I have been quite busy dealing with some things, you see. So, me and my dear successor chose you for this task. You will provide us quirks for Nomus." All For One smiled wickedly, "I gave you a quirk that will allow you to duplicate any other quirk that has been used on you at any given moment but one at a time."

Well, now didn't that ring a bell?

"Isn't that basically the same thing as Copy?" Midoriya asked. He needed as much information as he could have.

"No, no. Not at all. If that was the case, we would have taken that Monoma boy instead. We wouldn't even need go ahead and give him a new quirk." All For One replied.

"Then? What's the difference?" Midoriya asked, curiosity rising in himself.

"You see, this quirk will create a new quirk instead of a copy that will fade away due to some time limit. The quirk you duplicate will be permanently in your body. Unless I force it out of you, which is also the basic reason of giving it to you. The Copy quirk creates a bluff, has a time limit and doesn't primarily works for all quirks. But this, Duplicate quirk gives the user unlimited access to any quirk ever used on him. No time limit. No storage problems. Just use one at a time." All For One explained briefly.

"I see..." Midoriya nodded, taking in all the information.

Meanwhile, on the other end in the observation room, Kurogiri turned to All For One.

"Sir, do you really think this is a good idea? What if he turns his back on us?" Kurogiri asked.

"Don't worry, Kurogiri," All For One said, "I've already used my quirk on him to determine his true motives. He has pure intentions of being a villain. Strange, isn't it? All Might's successor willfully wants to join the dark side. One of those pathetic One For All users finally understand why that quirk was made. He might have acted heroic all along but you never know the true darkness of one's soul. Maybe this is his true nature. This is what he wants to be. His true destiny. To be a villain."

"I see, sir." Kurogiri nodded, "If you trust the boy, I trust him as well."

"Either way," All For One smiled, "I can't wait to see All Might's face when he learns about this."

Back with Midoriya, the boy was standing with his back facing the glass screen and has been trying to analyze his new quirk a little bit by trying to utilize some quirks that have been used on him before. He started with an attempt to create a small explosion. Small enough not to cause any damage or catch any attention from the other two villains talking behind the glass screen.

At first, it didn't seem to work but when given enough concentration and willpower, Midoriya's palm began to spark. One spark. Two sparks. Another. And then, a small explosion.

The green haired boy smiled to himself at his success. He wanted to try another quirk but he was interrupted by All For One midway. The villain wanted him to try out his new quirk regardless of the damage he would to the area.

'No shit. I didn't even think of that.'

Midoriya rolled his eyes.

Anyhow, Midoriya turned around to face him, giving him a deliberate nod. Then, Midoriya stretched his right arm, supporting it with his left one and aimed at an opposite wall. Within seconds, he managed to shoot out ice similar to Todoroki's. Then using his left hand, he let out a huge burst of fire and melted the ice berg right away.

'Just like I thought... I can use Kacchan's and Todoroki's quirk just fine. Which means the more detailed knowledge I have on these quirks, the better I can use them.' Midoriya thought to himself.

He rolled up his sleeves as a wide smirk made it's way across Midoriya's face as he now used his left arm to aim at the roof, right arm right behind the other one.

'The structure of a metal ball...!'

A fairly heavy ball of metal appeared out of his left arm which he then threw upwards and a mere second later used his right one to eject acid and destroyed the ball.

'Creation and Acid are covered!' Midoriya could never be thankful enough that he trained with his whole team during those preparation days.

He was brought out of his thoughts by All For One slowly clapping for him.

"Well, it really is interesting to see how adapted you already are to this situation and how well you can already use that power. So much that feels like you almost knew this would happen. Almost like turning you to the dark side wasn't my plan, it was yours. Interesting, is it not?" All For One said smiling.

"Well, what can I say?" Midoriya smirked, "Except that I've been planning..."

Half or more than half of his own class' quirks were already covered. Half from Class-1-B. The sludge villain's, Gran Torino's, Toga's, Shindo's, Mirio's, Sir Nighteye's, Eri's and Mr. Aizawa's quirks. The list goes on and on.

Just like he planned...

Soon.

Soon, he would reveal his true nature.

~O~

1-A Heights Alliance Dormitories were locked like all the others. No student was allowed to leave their respective dorms building until further notice. It was too much of a risk as said by the principal himself.

Due to the recent kidnapping case, all students — considering how much of trouble magnets they were — were not allowed to even step out of the building. Their homeroom teachers were to fill them up of everything that the school would decide for them. But right now, all teachers were in the meeting room, discussing Midoriya's case.

So, in 1-A's dorms, Shinsou made his way to Midoriya's room.

He placed his hand on the doorknob and gave it a turn.

The door was unlocked.

Just like he was told.

Moving in, he closed the door behind and made his way to the green haired boy's desk. There laid Midoriya's notebook.

Hero Analysis For Future #14

Convenient, isn't it?

A whole new journal, just for one plan.

Every. Single. Detail.

"It's time..." Shinsou said as he picked up the notebook.

Not that Shinsou knew what Midoriya really was planning.

Perhaps,

Midoriya's true nature wasn't the one that meets the eye.
