No one POV: 

"You can do this Minoru, you can do this." Minoru breathed in and out.

"Mineta-kun please. I know you're nervous. However I've seen what you can do. You can do it." Momo reassured him. 

"Hehehe, thanks Momo." He smiled to her.

"Your welcome. Now then. Do you have a plan?" She asked.

"Wha? Why are you asking me for a plan? You're the smart one out of the two of us." Minoru raised an eyebrow.

"Don't sell yourself short."

Minoru's winced like he just got shot in the back.

"( AGHHH......SHORT....)" 

"We are a team as of now and we should share ideas. So if you have thoughts I'd like to hear them."

"Well um, could ya make some good ear plugs? We'll need them for Jirou's sound attacks." Minoru said ribbing his neck.

"Good idea! I was honestly thinking the same." She agreed making two pairs of ear plugs from her arm. 

"Here. Take these." Momo handed him a pair.

"Thanks, Momo-chan." Minoru smiled placing the plugs firmly in his ears. "That should save us some major hearing lost."

"Yes, though it may not completely protect us, their good enough to avoid the full brunt of her attacks." Momo said.

"Okay your turn Momo-chan." 

"Ah yes. Well I figured maybe we could bunker in here with the weapon. Due to my quirk, I can barricade this room off." She explained.

"Huh, yeah that's true. Okay let's bunker here." Mineta gave a thumbs up.

"Excellent." She smiled and began to create steel barricades beams and began to attach them to the door.

"Say Momo-chan?" He gained the girls attention. "Does it like, I dunno. Feel weird? Having all that stuff grow out of you like that?" He asked with a head tilt.

"It used to be a tad bit uncomfortable. Especially with large objects but I got use to it over time." She answered while still working.

"Ah okay, just curious."

"It's fine. Now indulge my curiosity. What's it like to have two quirks?" She asked turning her head back a bit.

"Well, the power up quirk you saw me using in Aizawa's quirk test is a recent addition." He shrugged a bit nervously.

"Ahhh. A latent quirk. A rather rare occurrence." She looked surprised. 

"Yeah, latent quirk. It came around two months ago." 

"That right? Well for just getting it recently, you do seem rather proficient with it." Momo said with an impressed tone.

"Not EXACTLY. I mean. I do catch on to things a bit quicker. If I give something a few good tries I can get the hang of it or at the very least, get a basic understanding of it."

"Though first time I used this power, not gonna lie. Straight up wrecked my arm. The back lash from this quirk is insane." Minoru winched remembering the event as clear as day.

"Oh dear. That's horrible. Are you okay?" She looked at him concernedly. 

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. That was a while ago. Just was a Hell of a lot more careful with this quirk. 5% is my limit."

"Only 5%? You were pretty amazing in the quirk assessment test. If that was only 5%...I honestly shutter to think about you at 100%." She smiled. This earned both a smile and small frown from Minoru.

"Yeah, I do too sometimes." He replied in a rather conflicted tone.

"Hm? Why's that?" She finished with the door and turned to him fully.

"It's kinda complicated. It's a bit hard to explain." Minoru shoved his hands into his pockets, while looking off.

"I see. Nevermind then. I can see it clearly bothers you, so I won't push further." Momo said with a solemn expression. "The next thing I want is for you to feel uncomfortable."

"Hehehe, thanks Momo-chan. ( Hey, I'm doing pretty good. I'm actually just having a normal conversation with her. Had this been with the old me...ehhh. Yeah, rather not think on it. )"

"Um back on track. What do we do if Jirou and Kaminari get passed those barricades?" Minoru asked crossing his arms.

"Well given the nature of their quirks, I doubt either one has the destructive force to do that." Momo answered. 

"Yeah I guess. Kaminari's probably not, however I dunno about Jirou. Her sound blast could be pretty strong." Minoru retorted. 

"Hmmm. Yes you could be right." She said cupping her chin. "In that case, we would have to engage them in combat." 

"Right. I guess you take one and I take one." Minoru stretched. 

"Yes, that would be a smart choice. How skilled would you say you are in hand to hand Mineta-kun?" 

"NOT the best. I was never really much of a brawler. I can take a beating and dodge well. However actually trading blows? That's a bit new for me. I've only recently started practicing actual fighting moves."

"Though I won't lie, a lot of them are moves I've gotten are from fighting games. All mashed together to try and form a fighting style. Moves like those are normally impossible for normal people or well...people without strength/speed enhancing quirks. However I have a quirk just like that so, I can actually pull them off. Also got a few personal tricks too." Minoru smirked eager to show off all he's put together for All Might to see.

"Well as I wouldn't suggest using elements from video games in a real life scenario, you DO seem to know what your doing. So I'll trust you." Momo smiles.

"Phew...( A girl saying she trusts me. Again, new feeling. )" He smiled pulling his yellow bandanna over his mouth and nose.

"That's a nice accessory to your outfit. That big smile on it is very nice."

"Thanks, it was a small reference to my mentor." 

Their conversation was cut short by a loud boom and crash from the door.

"Wow! A-Are they here already?!" Minoru jumped a bit and quickly got into a fighting stance.

"They are...and that boom just now. That was probably Jirou's sound attack, it was more powerful then I thought." She spoke making a metal shield and a long metal rod.

Another sound blast hit the door and it caved in a bit and bending the metal barricades.

"That door won't hold long." Minoru focused and channeled One For All.

"( One For All....Shroud! )" Red marks appear over Minoru's body, then vanish as his purple static aura appeared around him.

"( Yeah, Shroud sounds WAY cooler.~ Wait. Focus! )" Minoru stood ready.

Then with a final sound blast the door busted open and Jirou and Kaminari ran in.

"Now THAT'S how you make an entrance!" Kaminari smirked.

"Focus Sparky."  Jirou kept her eyes fixed on both Minoru and Momo. "Surrender villains and you won't be harmed." Jirou said calmly but sternly.

"Never you...hero scum!" Momo tried sounding evil but wasn't very good at it.

"Let me try Momo-chan. Ahem." Minoru took a breath. "C'mon then. If you've got a death wish, by all means. Step up. Heh, this might fun." Minoru cracked his knuckles quoting a past bully to sound tough.   

"Oh yeah short stack? I might step on you.~" Kaminari joked.

Minoru's eye twitched. "Okay Momo-chan, you take Jirou. I get Blondie." 

"Be careful Mineta-kun. Kaminari's electricity will be dangerous if you get too close." Momo warned him.

"Don't worry. I got long range on my side." He smirked. 

"( After my energy attack at the entrance exams, I expanded on it all through out the week waiting for my results. As I thought before I used it against that giant robot, I knew there was energy stored inside me due to One for All. I use that energy to amp up my body by surging it through me. So the thought came to me. Could I expel that energy outwards? That answer came to a yes. However...)"

"( My arms were kinda sore from that attack. All that energy I was pumping through my arms and out my hands to form that energy ball. The strain was a bit much. So I worked on that. I worked on the channeling and lowered the power output. Now I can do it without a lot of issue, minor soreness but nothing serious. )" Minoru thought to himself.

"You do? Very well. Again, I'll trust you know what your doing." Momo focused her eyes on Jirou.

Jirou didn't waste anymore time and launched a sound wave at Minoru and Momo. Minoru quickly zipped out the way while Momo just held up her shield. The sound wave hit her and pushed her back a bit but she kept on her feet. The ear plugs were working but it didn't completely cancel out the sound waves, though it was enough to avoid significant damage. Kaminari charged at Minoru the second he stopped moving.

"( Just gotta grab em! Then I zap em! )" Kaminari thought. 

Minoru saw him coming and quickly dashed away a great speed.

"( Ah crap, totally forgot this dude can move wicked fast! )" Kaminari gritted his teeth.

"Burst!!!" Minoru's hand glowed a bright purple and he flung his arm. A small purple sphere of energy shot from his hand and flew at Kaminari.

"WOW!!" Kaminari of course wasn't expecting his attack and got hit with it causing him to stumble back. Minoru kept the pressure and swung his other arm resulting in another energy sphere being sent at Kaminari. The attack connected and sending Kaminari tumbling to the ground.

"Wow! Check out the little dude go!" Kirishima chanted.

"What was that!? Didn't see him do that in the quirk assessment test!" Mina looked amazed.

"Hmm. It seems like he's improved on that skill a lot. It's only been a week since the exam. He learns quick." Izuku smiled.

"Oh boy, that move looks even cooler now then it did before!" Ochaco said with joy.

As Kaminari hit the ground, Minoru started chucking sticky balls at him ensnaring him as he tried to get up.

"Ah man! Jeez!" He struggled to get off the ground but the sticky balls held.

"1 down. 1 to go." Minoru looked over and Momo was being kept at a distance by Jirou, who  kept blasting her back with sound blast. Minoru could see Momo needed an opening so he that's what he gave. He charged up two burst attacks and chucked them both at Jirou.

Jirou only noticed in time to dodge one, before getting hit by the other and getting knocked off balance. Momo then took her chance and charged forward, she then swung her metal rod and slammed it into Jirou's knee causing her to kneel forward. Momo followed up with a shield bash sending Jirou crashing to the ground. Momo then placed her foot on Jirou's chest and placed the tip of her rod at Jirou's neck.

"You have been bested. Submit." She spoke in a cold tone.

Jirou gritted her teeth when Momo brought her other foot down on one of her ear jacks.

"Both heroes are unable to continue! The villains win!" All Might's voice boomed.

"Ah man that sucked."  Kaminari whined.

"Your telling me." Jirou groaned as Momo got off of her.

"Hey, A for effort." Minoru smiled trying to console them.

"This is the point of these test. Trial and error to improve." Momo added.

"That is true. Thanks Yoayorozu." Jirou smiled getting back on her feet and dusting herself off.

"Makes it a bit better I guess. Agh...AGH! Help? Please." Kaminari tried desperately to get free from Minoru's sticky balls.

"Ahhh. Hehehe. You may be stuck for an hour or two." Minoru smirked nervously. 

"WHAAAAT?!!?!?" Kaminari yelled.

"Hehehe, rough break Sparky." Jirou tried her best not to laugh at her partner's misfortune.

"Help!!!" She shrieked. 

"Okay, okay calm down. Jirou-chan, Momo-chan. Give me a hand will ya?" Minoru went over to assist Kaminari. Momo and Jirou joined as well.

"Hmm. Quite the sticky situation." Izuku said with a smile.

"Midoriya-kun. No. Just no." Ochaco face palmed. 

"Hahaha! I thought it was pretty funny!" Kirishima laughed. 

"I gotta say didn't expect Mineta-kun to be so badass!" Hanta added.

"Those energy attacks sure were a surprise." Toru spoke up.

"What can I say? He's very resourceful." Izuku said.

"Hahaha! ( Very good Young Mineta! You as well Young Midoriya. You two deserve a personal pat on the back from yours truly later on! As well....as an apology. )" All Might smiled to himself looking toward Izuku.

"( You're not your father. You're your own person and I was a fool to doubt you solely due to your heritage. You will be a fine hero and I plan to tell you this in person. )" All Might regained his resolve and over came his fears of All for One.

He had students to guide to be their best. No matter their background, he would shape them to be the future of this world. This was his promise and duty. He already let Midoriya down once. He would not do so a second time. 

He SWORE it. He would be there for him.

                                                                          ~With Stain.~

Stain was currently walking to a large tree on a grassy hill top within the forest he trained Izuku in. He wasn't current dressed in his usual gear. Instead he had on a simple black jacket, red scarf, a red under shirt, light blue jeans, and brown boots. However he did keep two concealed knifes in his jacket. He stayed as stoic as usual, however as he reached the tree. His hardened and stoic face softened. There was a gravestone cross in front of the tree. On the stone it read.

"Tomo Akaguro. A bright light taken too soon."

As he stopped right in front of the stone...Stain was now gone and the man behind the mask stood smiling. Chizome.

"Hello sister." He smiled warmly and sat down with his legs crossed.

"How are you?" Chizome asked letting a pause of silence fill the air.

"Fine I'd take it. Sorry I haven't visited in a while, I've been kinda busy. Though that's normally my excuse, but I really mean it this time." He laughed a bit.

"I've gone and taken up a pupil. A Izuku Midoriya." Chizome looked down smiling.

"When I first saw him, he had risked his life to save someone in a situation that even pros were hesitating in. He didn't even think. He just acted and he succeeded."

"I knew from that moment, he was a true hero in the making and I HAD to help him reach his potential. To mold him into the hero he could be. Under my tutelage and would stay on the real path of a hero and not be strayed off by...FAKES." He growled and clenched his fists...but looking up at the tombstone instantly brought him peace and he calmed down.

"The boy was so shy, timid. However he had a heart of gold and that's what kept him from giving up. No matter how hard it became. He wanted to be a hero not because he thought he needed to or wanted to. He wants to become a hero for others. With that in heart, he's grown so much!" Chizome spoke with such a proud tone.

"Izuku isn't quite other people I've met either. He's words. He really challenges my ideals and honestly makes me rethink my own views of life. Heh, at first. It honestly kinda pissed me off but now. I welcome it, because it really allows me to really think about all I stand for and what it is a really value."

"I should thank him for that soon. Hehehe!" He laughed rubbing the back of his head.

"Ahhh, jeez. Listen to me ramble. Sorry sister, though not like you'd mind. You'd always love listening to me talk. Even if it was about something boring. That was just the kinda person you were." The dawned a sad smile as he placed his hand on the gravestone. 

"I miss you little sister and I'm okay. I'll come back soon and visit. I promise." He then pressed his two fingers to his lips and then pressed both fingers against the tombstone. 

"Goodbye for now." The man then got back onto his feet and began to walk away.

He spared one last look at the grave before waving goodbye with a big smile on his face. Chizome turned and placed his hands in his pockets as he continued walking. His soft expression hardened back to his stone cold stoic face. 

The mask was placed back on and Stain had returned. His thoughts then turned to his pupil Izuku. He wondered how well he was fairing in school, in all honesty he was worried others would fear his power. Though Izuku did just have this air about him, it just drew people in. As long as he had that going for him, that and his personality combined shouldn't make him too many enemies. He would hope at least.

Only time would tell. Either way it went. He would be there for Izuku. No matter what.
