Taka: So now you know the truth...

Mikoto: I see...

Taka: Your father done so much for your mother. That man spent the rest of his days in highschool helping out your mother. Soon their friendship became more...

Mikoto: But Dad isn't a hero no more...

Taka: Some heroes are like swords, ready to head into any challenge with reckless bravery and confidence that they will succeed. Others are shields, grounded, calculating, ready to protect and serve....However...others falls into the third category: a useless lump of broken hopes and shattered dreams whose only missions in life are to see how long they have in this world...Your father became that third category...

Mikoto: (Because he lost his quirk...)

Taka: You wanted to know why he lost it...?

Mikoto nodded.

Mikoto: Yes...

Taka: Sorry kid...but it's not my place to tell something that could be a touchy subject. Just wait til the day your father is ready to tell you.

Mikoto:....Okay...

That did seem fair...Mikoto felt like he was pushing it. Asking other people who knew his father for so long about his quirk and how he lost it wasn't...any of his business.

Taka: You know...since your father has been ninja like quirk...it would be possible it may have been passed along to you.

Mikoto: Eh?

Taka: Your father original surname, The Ashikaga, used to be a clan where  a prominent Japanese samurai clan which established the Muromachi shogunate and ruled Japan from roughly about 500 years ago before quirks even came into existence. The Ashikaga were descended from a branch of the Minamoto clan, deriving originally from the town of Ashikaga in Shimotsuke province through ninja to samurai skills and abilities.

Mikoto: Would that mean their skills became harden throughout the to quirks came into being?

Taka: I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case kid...even your father wouldn't know about this...but once quirks came into existence. The Ashikaga Clan had also ruled by the power of quirks. Your father's quirk may have been passed down from generation to generation through genes.

Mikoto: So that would mean...

Taka: Like you do with your mother, you also inherited a part of your father's quirk.

...

Mikoto: Oh....

That was the only reaction he could give...

That would explain why was he able to make weapons out of snow.

Oh the irony...

Mikoto: Thank you for telling me this, Taka-Sensei...

-Plus Ultra-

Mikoto: Hey Shouto~!

Shouto: Yukimura...

After the phone call, Mikoto decided to go visit his cousin. He hasn't talked to him in a while...

Both cousins greeted each other in the hallway. Mikoto even noticed that Shouto had on his hero costume.

Mikoto: Going somewhere?

Shouto nodded.

Shouto: Due to me failing the exam. Me and Bakugo have to meet up with Gang Orca to make up for it this week.

Mikoto: Ah yeah. That's where Yin and Kieran are going too. So is this suppose to be a mission?

Shouto: I beg to differ...

Mikoto: Hmm...

Shouto: Something on your mind...

Mikoto: A lot. Apparently.

Ever since he learned Overhaul is using Eri to destroy quirks and Inari ended up almost becoming the vessel as a power source. Mikoto's mind begin to get cloudy once again. Didn't make things better since he learned about the relationship between All Might and Nighteye. Along with Taka's relationship with his father.

He begin to wonder how does Tsuyoi-Senpai fit within all this as well...

Maybe he should ask the older teen someday.

But still....

Mikoto: The League of Villains is working with the Yakuza...with their power in their midst...a lot of destruction is going to take place...

Shouto:....I see...

Mikoto: Gran Torino once said that anyone could do anything if they put their mind to it. So if Overhaul almost gotten his hands upon Inari. Imagine, the outcome will be too late...

Shouto:....

Mikoto: I...just bewildered...by the facts...That man...who tried to kidnapped Inari...who was using a quirk destroying bullet. Those were made by Overhaul.

Shouto had an look of disgust for a moment before it flew back to his non-emotional expression.

Mikoto: Fatgum was angry when he learned and demanded that the heroes should hunt him down. Izuku and Mirio-Senpai are planning to save Eri. A lot is going to happen in the next few days. Right now, the heroes are discussing Eri's whereabouts.

With the meeting over, Izuku, Mikoto, Jack, Destiny, Mio,  Ochako Uraraka, Eijiro Kirishima, Tsuyu Asui, Mirio, Tamaki Amajiki, and Nejire Hado are sitting at two table downstairs.

Izuku and Mirio explain to the others what occurred between them and Chisaki.

Izuku and Mirio are still crestfallen for being unable to save Eri when she was right in their hands.

Mikoto and Tsuyoi then explains their side of the story of what happened with Inari and how his role connects with Eri.

Luna and Destiny looked ready to cry. Who wouldn't after finding out how two small kids being kidnapped and tortured by the cruel hands of adults for the sake of destroying quirks.

Shouta spots his Class 1-A students and talks to them about originally suspending their work-studies since the League of Villains are involved.

Before they start protesting, Shota comments to Izuku that he still has not restored his trust in him yet. However, Aizawa believes that if he stops Izuku, he will simply jump back in again.

Aizawa given Izuku permission to take part in Eri's rescue operation and signifies his decision by fist bumping Izuku's chest.

Luna and Zoe asked Mikoto more questions about Inari.

Jack started being monotonous just thinking about outcome before he started to tell everyone about his and Kirishima encounter with Rappa and Tengai. Kirishima remained silent hearing all this...

Mio and Destiny listened on to his story about Rappa and Tengai working for Overhaul.

Tamaki and Nejire convince Mirio to snap out of his misery, with Nejire telling him that there is no point in feeling regretful.

The same went with Akari and Kyan comforting Tsuyoi about the fact with Inari. He felt guilty for not being able to rescue Inari's parents in time.

Kyan reminds him that he didn't know it was going to happen and he shouldn't take the blame for the boy losing hope in heroes.

Mirio and Tsuyoi agrees with them. Shouta tells Izuku that the hand that barely missed rescuing Eri, he bets that Eri is feeling something other than despair and tells Izuku to keep moving forward, to which a delightful Izuku replies he will.

Though it doesn't soft out the feeling Mikoto now held...

Shouto: So what is the problem?

Mikoto:....Everyone's doing a lot...and here I am...not sure what to do...For some reason, I feel like Kirishima at the moment...not being able to do anything while my best friend and his senpai along with so many get ready to stop Overhaul and save Eri...My mind. My body is shaking, head aching...I want to be a hero much as everyone. But I haven't done much...

Shouto: Well...Maybe you should do something?

Mikoto: Eh?

Shouto: Doing something is better than doing nothing, right...?

Mikoto: Yeah...But I just don't know what to do, Shouto....

Shouto:....I'm sorry if I can't give you the answer......but maybe they can...?

Mikoto: Eh?

Mikoto looked to where Shouto was pointing and noticed three figures standing close by...

Mikoto: A-Akari-Senpai...Tsuyoi-Senpai...Kyan-Senpai...?

Kyan: Yukimura...

Tsuyoi:....

Akari: *Concerned* Are you okay?

Mikoto: Yeah...just a lot going on in my mind....

Shouto: To be honest, you looked like a stressed out hero...

Mikoto: Gee...Thanks for pointing it out Captain Obvious...

Shouto: I am not...

Mikoto: Oh yes you are. Or maybe your oblivious to everything around you.

Shouto: What makes you say that?

Mikoto: You are as oblivious as a brick!!! ( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)

Shouto: *Unamused*....

Mikoto then looked at his Senpais of Class 3-C.

Mikoto: Is there something you guys need...

Akari: Is it okay...if we talk to you...and Inari...?

Mikoto:....Really? Why?

Akari: Because-?!

Kyan beat her to it.

Kyan: We believe it's best that you take part of the-!

Tsuyoi finish the rest of that sentence.

Tsuyoi:...Rescue Eri Operation.

Shouto: ?

Mikoto:.......Eh?
