Izuku wandered doen the street, holding his signed notebook to his chest. All Might had been more than happy to sign it for him, and had even written a word of thanks to the teen.

  His bliss was rudely interrupted by the usual culprit: an explosion.

  Izuku walked a little faster, turning the corner and coming to a halt, blocked by the large crowd of civilians. That didn't stop him from spotting what was going on.

  *The sludge villain? But.. what happened to All Might..?*

  At that moment, an incredibly skinny man wearing All Might's baggy clothes came around the corner after Izuku.

  Izuku took in his appearance, his eyes narrowed, calculating.

  "Transformation type quirk that boosts your strength?" He asked.

  Skinny might sighed, nodding his head.

  "I can only use it for a couple hours a day due to an injury.. I didn't expect my limit to run out so quickly.."

  Izuku turned back around, noting that nobody was watching the two weirdos at the back.

  He raised his hand, the grey liquid dripping to the ground.

  "I need information. Height, weight, measurements, speed, strength. Averages and estimations will do for speed and strength, but the others need to be exact." Izuku told the hero.

  All Might gave Izuku the closest estimations he could, while Izuku focused on the newer image of the hero in his mind.

  After around 30 seconds, All Might sprang forwards, in the civilian clothing the original was wearing.

  "Fear not, for I am here!"

  The fight was quickly over.

  A single punch was enough to blast the sludge away for the second time, and the hostage was set free.

  The crowd cheered, and the media swarmed the double.

  Meanwhile, All Might had made up his mind.

  "Young Midoriya, could you come with me? I'm sure my double can handle the press. He is All Might after all!"

  Izuku nodded, waving to the double and  following the much skinnier hero down a few roads. They arrived at Dagobah beach, and the hero stood on the soft sand, staring over the glistening water.

  "Young Midoriya, I would like to talk to you about my quirk. You see, my quirk is unlike any other, in that it can be passed on to another. As it is passed on it accumulates energy, bestowing great strength upon the wielder. I am the eighth holder of this quirk. I would like you to be the ninth."

  Izuku stared in awe at the hero as he turned to face him.

  "You have shown me that you have the qualities of a true hero, as we can see right here, on this very beach. You cleaned it not for personal gain, but just because you wanted to do something good for others."

  The greenette stammered, unable to say anything.

  "It is called One for All. Do you accept this power?" All Might asked.

  Izuku merely nodded, snapping his agape mouth shut.

  All Might sighed in relief.

  "Alright. Now, how much weight training have you done? What level is your body at?"

  Izuku rolled up his sleeve.

  "Well, I cleaned the beach, which trained muscles I didn't even know I had. I did some basic weight training beforehand to prepare for it, and in the months since I've been doing much more intense training than before."

  Izuku flexed his arm, showing just how much muscle he had packed in there.

  All Might laughed.

  "Your baggy clothes hide your true strength.. in any case, you're already an excellent vessel."

  All Might plucked a hair from his head.

  "Eat this." He said.

  ...

  "..huh?"

  All Might had the decency to look a little embarrassed.

  "You need to eat something with my DNA, that's how it works! Just eat it!"

  Izuku hesitantly took the long strand of blonde hair.

  He took his bottle of water out of his schoolbag, placing the hair in his mouth and chugging the water.

  "Eugh-!"

  Izuku gagged, but forced it down.

  All Might laughed.

  "Excellent. Now, it's getting quite late today, so go home, and sleep on it. I'll be here in the morning, and we can see just how much of One for All you are able to use!"

  All Might 2 marched into the beach, giving Izuku and All Might his signature smile before melting away into mud.

  Izuku waved goodbye to All Might, leaving the beach and walking home.

  Izuku opened the front door and greeted his worried mother.

  "Izuku, are you okay? You were out much longer than you said you would be!" Inko asked.

  Izuku nodded, a smile on his face.

  "I'm fine mum, I just ran into All Might today after training. He's so much cooler in person!"

  Inko and Izuku had katsukdon for dinner, then Izuku headed upstairs to bed.

  He sighed, laying on his back, staring at the ceiling.

  *All Might's power huh..* he mused.

  Izuku's eyes shot open.

  A woman was standing before him in the dark void. She wore an armless black bodysuit, thick yellow gloves and a flowing white cape.

  There was a group of 7 people behind her, all looking around in confusion or curiosity.

  Two of the figures were hard to make out, and another was made of golden mist, but was unmistakeably All Might in his true form.

  Izuku returned his gaze to the woman, taking in more detail.

  She was muscular, impressively so. Her black hair was tied up in a kind of ponytail, while her eyes twinkled with amusement, and curiosity.

  "So you're the ninth, huh? Looks like Toshi found a good one." She said, a soft smile on her face.

  "You're the past holders of One for All.." Izuku said.

  The woman nodded.

  "I'm the seventh, Nana Shimura. I'm sure you recognise the eighth, Toshinori, or as you know him All Might."

  Nana gestured behind herself, where the other predecessors had ceased their examination of the void around them.

  "Where are we? The last thing I remember is falling asleep." Izuku asked.

  Nana laughed.

  "We were hoping to ask you the same question! From what you've told us though, I think we're just in your head. Anyway, what's your name kid?"

  "Izuku Midoriya." The greenette replied.

  Nana smiled.

  "It's a pleasure to meet you Izuku. From now, I don't really know what's going to happen. This has never happened to any of us, but it can't be a bad thing."

  Izuku nodded in understanding.

  The dark void started to get lighter.

  "Well, looks like you're waking up. Have fun training with Toshi!"

  Nana and the others disappeared into mud, the darkness becoming a bright white.

 
  Izuku opened his eyes groggily.

  The last thing he'd seen had given him an idea.
