Tkdboy: Oh, right. Sorry, it's been a while. Hang on.

Soshi: "...Ow."

Fine chose to join us, Soshi.

Soshi: "Well, not necessarily chose, more pressured into it, but yes."

Tkdboy: Anyways, disclaimer.

Chapter 5: Beach Training and Meeting Another Changeling

Izuku had gotten a message from All Might, saying that he was going to be training at the beach.

Soshi was currently sleeping in his lab.

Hansuke was getting ready to meet the others.

And Bachi was up early, being a... busy bee, tending to her hives.

They all got a text from Izuku.

Bachi looks down at her phone to read the text.

Ranma (Bachi's Phone)/Midoriya (Soshi's Phone)/Izu1/2( Hansuke's Phone): Hey~ All Might just texted me where He's training me. Meet you guys on the way!

Bachi looks up at a few bees that were staring at her. "Sorry guys, I'm going to have to cut this short. I'll come back later!" She runs off as her bees return to their hive.

Hansuke read the message and texted back:

Magitech (Izuku's Phone): Will be right there.

He put his phone away and called his hover rocket board. "This will be fun to see."

Soshi... was still sleeping.

Bachi just heads down to the beach.

Hansuke rod right up to the bee girl. "How's the Queen bee doing?"

"She's doing great. Where's my bro? Still sleeping?"

Hansuke sighs. "I think he'd sleep through a goddamn war..."

"Probably..." Bachi says while also sighing.

Hansuke texted him, knowing he made a feature where he'd wake up if texted a specific text.

Hikaru (Soshi's Phone): WAKE UP YOU LAZY ASS!!!

... Aaaaand nothing. Soshi removed that feature.

Hansuke could sense this thought the phone with his Quirk and was grumbling. "He took the feature out of his phone...!" he stated, grinding his teeth and his eyes closed in frustration. "He does this all the time..."

"Hey guys!" called out Izuku, who was running to them.

Bachi turns to look over at Izuku.

Hansuke did the same. "See you're going as Izuku today."

Izuku nodded. "Thought it would be good for my first day."

"Yeah, not a bad idea," Bachi says, "although you should divide your time between genders as equally as possible."

"Of course I will, and you know I always do."

Bachi nods. "Just making sure," she says.

"Geez, do you think I'm a scatterbrain or something?"

"... Literally, with how your personality changes."

Izuku looked confused. "It does?"

"You just seem... sassier when you're Izumi."

"Bachi does have a point," Hansuke agreed. "It's just a bit hard to see at times."

Bachi nods with a bit of a smirk.

"And you become a rule following solder when you're male," Hansuke shot at Bachi.

"Which makes absolutely no sense, given that worker bees are all female, and the males are sex slaves."

"Please don't start up again..." the two flatly replied. "Quirks are weird..."

"Yeah, yeah..."

"It's not as weird as when Soshi becomes a girl," Izuku stated.

"Yeah, it was a real shock," Hansuke stated, still not believing what happened.

Bachi just chuckles at that.

"So when should All Might be here?" Hansuke asked Izuku.

"He should be here in a few minutes... I think..."

Bachi shrugs as she looks around, vibrating her wing muscles to keep herself warm.

"I AM HERE!" called out All Might, making the three jump.

Bachi turns to glare at All Might. "Christ! How did you do that!? I can hear a man breathing from five miles away, and yet you still...!"

"He's All Might," Izuku and Hansuke stated flatly.

All Might just looked sheepish.

"Yeah, but, what, 600 pounds of pure muscle? I should've heard him coming..."

"Learned to be stealth when having to face foes like that.." All Might stated sheepishly.

Bachi just sighs.

"Guess training your hearing to be better is something we should do," Hansuke stated.

Bachi just nods with a sigh.

Izuku looked to All Might. "So I'm guessing I need to train, to gain your power?" he asked,

"Wow, quick one, isn't he?" All Might asked the other two.

"Oh, like you wouldn't believe."

"We sometimes think he has a second Quirk that boost his mental IQ," Hansuke added.

Bachi nods at what Hansuke said.

"Can any of you believe that I can be this smart without a Quirk?" Izuku asked.

"Izuku, you can match me and Soshi in intellect..."

"Yeah..."

"It's not the weird... Right...?" he asked, looking sheepish.

"Honestly? Kinda."

"Sorry, but I have to agree," Hansuke stated.

Izuku had a depress cloud over him.

"Not that that's a bad thing."

All Might coughed. "Maybe we should get to young Midoriya's training?"

"Right, right..." Bachi takes a few steps back, away from Izuku.

Hansuke did the same.

Izuku and All Might walked to the beach... which was covered in trash.

"... Talk about trashed," Bachi said.

"... Was that a pun?" Hansuke and Izuku asked her.

"Yes."

"Don't quit your day job," they stated flatly.

"Hey, I bring in a lot of money being a honey supplier."

"You mean your family business..."

"They only help with the bookkeeping."

"Still family."

"Right..."

______________________________________________________________________________

(A few minutes later)

Izuku was moving a thrown-out fridge, whit All Might on top of it. He was actually moving it, slowly but surely.

Bachi was sitting on an old tire nearby, watching him.

"That's actually impressive he can move that he can move it with him on top of it," Hansuke stated.

"Yeah, though that is a bit of a taunt, sitting on the fridge while he's trying to move it," Bachi says as she starts rolling the tire around.

"Still impressive nonetheless," Hansuke admitted.

"I'm guessing..." Izuku grunted out, moving the fridge and All Might another inch, "that this... is to help me... train... and help clean... the beach... back to... what it was..."

All Might's smile widens. "I'm impressed that you figured that out."

"I've been think... that my fiends might be... right... about my mental capacity... I think it's due to me... having two bodies to turn to... that I also have the capacity to think with two minds..."

His two friends heard this. "Huh..." Hansuke thought. "That could actually make sense. A side effect of his Quirk."

Bachi just shrugs. "Hey. You're the genius here."

"And you just can't keep a thought..." Hansuke stated, flatly.

Bachi blinks. "...Was that an insult?"

"Bachi, everyone knows you're the tough tomboy girl that doesn't care about her grades. Hell you're smart, but you just don't like to show it."

"... You a psychologist too?"

"Comes with the Quirk, need to know how a person changes due to their Quirk nature to get my gear to work properly, so it works like the person's actual Quirk."

Bachi sighs.

"Why don't you try to show people how smart you are?" he asked.

"... I honestly don't know. I kinda don't like putting in the effort."

"So a go with the flow slacker?"

Bachi nods. "Yep."

"... Huh... I thought you'd be angry with me with calling you..."

"Oh no, I'm pissed. I've been taking online anger management courses." She proceeds to throw the tire straight up. When it comes down, she kicks it into a small pile of junk she made, knocking it over.

"... Noted."

"Yep." She looks back over at All Might and Izuku.

Izuku had moved the fridge all the way off the beach, All Might looking like a proud dad. All Might continued laying the pressure on Izuku as Bachi and Hansuke watched.

"Izuku is doing well."

"For now. Knowing him, he'll overdo it," Bachi says while yawning.

Hansuke shrugged. "Got to respect his dedication."

"I guess so."

"Hey guys!" Izuku called to the others.

Bachi looks over at them. Hansuke did the same.

"Can you guys get Soshi?"

"... I mean we tried to. I'll see if he's finally awake."

"No promise though," Hansuke stated.

Bachi nods as she walks off to go wake up Soshi. Hansuke followed her.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Soshi's house)

Soshi yawns as he slowly gets up. He looks over at his project. "...Damn it... I almost finished it too..." He sighs as he takes his narcolepsy medication. There was a knock at his door. Soshi yawns as he goes to open the door. When he opened it, he saw that it was Hansuke and Bachi. "Oh, hello Hansuke, hello Bachi, what-"

Soshi didn't even finish his sentence when Bachi grabs him and starts running back to where Izuku and All Might are.

Hansuke sighs. "At least let him get food..." he muttered to himself, following the two.

Bachi just gives Soshi a honeyed pastry as they go.

The trio made it back to the beach, and there was already a pile of trash on the street. "... Geez, bro works fast."

"... And it looks like he's reached his limit for now," Soshi says, glancing at Izuku. Izuku had collapsed, exhausted.

"Impressive work today young Midoriya," All Might stated proudly. "I see that this might be shorter than I thought it would take."

Bachi blinks.

"... I believe he's due for a break," Soshi says.

All Might nodded. "Good idea. He should get some food and come back in... let's say, an hour."

"No, I can still work," Izuku stated. "I've taken fighting classes, so I'm use to hard work."

"... Dude, you're sweating bullets and struggling to stand," Bachi says deadpan.

"And you do need to eat," Hansuke stated. "Remember, you need the energy for your Quirk as well."

Izuku tried to get up, to show he was fine, but he couldn't. To add to it, his stomach started growing. "... Fine..." he stated in defeat, a pout on his face. "I could use breakfast..."

Bachi throws a honey pastry at him.

Soshi just looks at Bachi.

"... My hand slipped," she says

Izuku caught it on reflex, thanks to his training.

Bachi just blinks as Soshi looks at Izuku. "Nice catch," he says.

"Thanks~" he thanked, biting the treat.

Bachi nods as she goes back to her own thing in the scrap heap.

"What's she doing?" Hansuke asked.

Bachi stacked up some bike tires on a pole and used them as an impromptu punching bag.

"... Huh... Resourceful isn't she?" All Might asked.

"If she wants to be."

All Might looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Bachi is a bit of a genius slacker," Izuku stated. "She's smarted then she lets on, but find's it troublesome."

"... She sounds like Shikamaru from Naruto..." Hansuke stated.

"Yeah, outside of her honey business, she'd rather not put in effort."

"... She sounds almost like Hawks..." All Might stated to himself. Soshi nods.

"Wonder what would happen if they met..." Izuku thought out loud.

"I don't know... I think they would get along, though," Soshi says.

"... She does use her bees like his wings," Izuku stated, finishing the last of the treat.

Soshi nods.

"So what should I do now?" Izuku asked. Hansuke tossed him a water bottle, which he caught. He then drank from it. "Thanks."

"No trouble, and take an hour break like we said," Hansuke started. "You don't want to throw up your breakfast."

"Yeah... maybe put some effort into training Izumi too," Bachi suggests.

"This is Izuku we're talking about..." Hansuke stated flatly. "He puts effort into his training..."

"I'm talking about the girl half."

Hansuke still gave her that flat look, knowing both his halves. Bachi just shrugs as she goes back to punching the tires.

Izuku sighs. "Why does she get like this to me...?" Soshi just shrugs. Izuku gave a deadpan look. "You're helpful..."

"Seriously, though, I have no idea why she's like that."

"Same," Hansuke agreed.

Soshi and Izuku both dish as Bachi eventually does a spinning jump kick that knocks the stack of tires over.

"Good form," Izuku complement.

"Thank you," Bachi says.

"You're welcome," he thanked, smiling at her.

Bachi nods as she starts setting up tires again.

"Young Bachi," All Might called out to her. Bachi looks over at All Might. "Can you set up a few more of those for Izuku and other obstacle?"

Bachi looks at the tire stack, then back at All Might. "Fine. But don't expect them to be nearby." She flies off to find some more useable tires.

"I think it's better that way..." All Might muttered to himself.

Izuku turned to Hansuke and Soshi. "Should I get home and shower? And tell mom about my new training?"

"You haven't told her yet?" Soshi asks Izuku.

Izuku looked sheepish. "I wasn't sure how to bring it up..."

Soshi just stares at Izuku.

Hansuke just facepalmed. "Geez... you can be an airhead at times..."

Izuku just sulks a bit.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Timeskip: A few days later)

Izuku, or Izumi today, was working on cleaning the beach again. She had told her mother about what happened... after she fainted three times, and nearly flooded their apartment with hear tears. She was by herself today, when she heard footsteps. "Oh, hey guys, I didn't think you'd be here this-" she cut herself off when she saw a blond, bun hair girl looking at her with a happy smile. "Uh... Can I help you Ms.?" she asked, not sure what to say.

Soshi was just making his way to the beach. He was tired, as usual.

"I finally get to meet you," the girl said, getting into Izumi's face. Izumi took a step back. "You can transform like I can."

"... Eh?" Izuku just looks at the girl, confused.

"I can turn into others, can you do that as well?" she asked, getting closer.

"W-well, no, that's not how my Quirk works..."

"So how do you transform~?"

"I-I-it's gender-swapping, I switch between being a boy and a girl..." She took a step back again.

The girl stepped closer. "Oh, if I transform into you, will that affect me as well~?"

"W-well that's, uh..."

"Mind if I test it~?" she asked, getting in her face.

"W-what!?"

"I just need your blood~"

"No, that's staying with me!" Izumi shouts as she backs away.

"Ah, but you'd look lovely with the blood color~"

Izumi just backs away, worried.

"Please bleed for me~" she stated, sweetly. She then tried to slash at Izumi with a knife at high speed. Izumi yelps and dodges the attack. "Oh, flexible and fast as well~"

"Months of training!"

"Oh~ You're getting cuter and lovelier with everything you tell me~" she stated, still trying to cut Izumi.

Izumi just kept dodging, not changing because, well, it is still illegal for him to use his Quirk to fight back. Izumi then saw an opening and kicked the knife out of the girl's hand. Said girl back flipped a few times to get her knife back.

Soshi sees this when he arrives. "What's going on here?" He sees that Izumi was getting attacked by the blond girl.

"Hey!" He picks up a metal bar from the garbage pile and jabs it between the two of them, blocking the girl's attack.

"Oh~ You're cute~" she stated bluntly, throwing Soshi off from how random that statement was.

"... What?"

"Let me see if you're cuter with blood~ I need to see it~ Blood is amazing~"

"... Yes, it certainly is, isn't it? The fact that one drop of blood contains hundreds of cells, all of them performing the important task of... you're talking about the taste, aren't you?"

"My 'parent's' wanted me to be 'normal', saying my Quirk is for a villain and shouldn't be used," she stated, sounding a bit melancholy. "But it just calls to me. Wanting me to drink it, to become like that person I like."

"Tragic. But a Freudian excuse is no excuse." He raises the bar as if it was a bo staff.

Before they could keep going, Izuku tied up the girl, using metal cable she found.

"... Should you really be using that? I mean, it's rusted over in several areas."

"It was actually new, like someone just threw it out," she told him.

Soshi blinks. "... Huh. Who would throw out perfectly good cable?"

"Someone who doesn't need it," the blond girl stated, cheerily. "So, are you two going to kill me? Because I'm a dangerous villain?"

"... If we're going to be Heroes, that's the last thing on our minds. For now," Soshi says deadpanned.

"Uh... Aren't you going to ask why she's asking that?" Izumi asked her friend in a deadpan.

"My parents told me that heroes kill villains that are true threats," she answered.

"Being a vampire doesn't make you a true threat. But that doesn't mean we won't lock you into a cell deep underground with no communication with the outside world save for one guard who only comes in to give you food once per day. Just because Heroes are good doesn't mean they're nice."

Izumi hit him over the head. "I should transform you for being more emotional." She stated. "She needs help, not a jail."

"..." He stares blankly at Izumi before dropping the bo staff and calling the others.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Minutes later)

Hansuke and Bachi both came. "Okay, Soshi what's the emergency-?" He stated to ask, but they saw the blond girl tied up. "Please tell us you aren't kidnaping people to experiment with...?"

"She attacked us. Why in Hades would I do anything like that?"

Everyone gave a flat look. "Because you're an emotionless inventor who doesn't see morality like normal people..."

"Even I can see you're like me," the blonde stated.

"I wouldn't go as far as kidnapping people. Rats, maybe, but not humans."

______________________________________________________________________________

(Meanwhile at UA)

At UA a certain animal with a Quirk had a cup of tea, when he had a strange feeling. "Why do I feel like I should be reprimanding someone?" he asked no one in particular, still smiling.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Back at the beach)

Soshi felt like he had the wrath of someone he shouldn't and didn't know why. Soshi shudders a bit before shaking his head. "Regardless."

"... Let me guess, you were being an emotionless idiot again...?" Bachi asked, flatly.

"..." Soshi just sighs.

"... Right on the money it seems," Hansuke stated.

Soshi just looks back at the girl. "Now... what should we do with her?"

Izumi stated bluntly. "Help her."

"Well how the hell do we do that?" Bachi asks, "I ain't giving up my blood."

"... Okay, I think we're missing some information here," Hansuke stated.

"Yeah, she said her parents forced her to abstain from blood," Izumi said.

"Guessing her Quirk needs it?" he asked.

"It does," the blond answered.

Hansuke groans, facepalming. "Quirk withdrawal... Just great..."

Soshi just sighs.

"Uh, fill in for ones who don't know what that is?" Bachi asked.

"It's when a Quirk is suppress, that it becomes hard to control, it worse with people who have to have something specific to go with it, like say blood," Hansuke answered. "The Quirk will force you to want to use it, until you can't hold or take it anymore."

"It's like a drug addiction," Soshi says.

"Yeah," Hansuke nodded. "But it can be fixed."

Bachi looks at Hansuke. "How? Blood drive?" Bachi asks sarcastically.

"Actually, yes," Hansuke answered.

Bachi blinks, dumbfounded by the bluntness of that answer.

"My father has been trying to pass a law for Quirks that need special need, like blood and such," Hansuke answered. "He's seen what can happen to children when they can't get the help they need."

"Guess this is just another example," Soshi says.

"So..." the girl stated, getting their attentions. "You're going to help me...?" She sounded so unsure, like the notion of people helping her was a foreign concept.

"... Not sure what help is, huh?" Bachi questions her.

"People have tried to control my life... I just want to be free and be myself..." she stated. "Is that too much to ask?"

"...If you're killing people, then yes," Soshi says. Bachi then punches Soshi.

"Should I turn him..." Izumi asked.

"Nah," Bachi says.

Izumi sighs. "I still think he should stay his female form."

Bachi shrugs. "Your call," she says.

Soshi gave what was close to a glare. "You will not..."

Izumi uses her Quirk on him.

"Here we go," Hansuke stated.

Soshi... we'll, he barely changes, if at all. All that happens is he gets a C-cup, very slightly wider hips, and rounder cheeks. He already looked a bit like a girl to begin with. She then smiled at them.

"Well now I feel a lot better!" She says.

"Someina," Bachi acknowledges.

The blond blinked. "She did an emotional one-eighty." Bachi nods as Someina does a small happy dance.

"We don't know why she's like this when she turned," Hansuke stated. Someina just does her little happy dance as Bachi sweat-drops.

"Now, uh, Someina, what are your thoughts on...?" Izumi stated to asked, but realized something, they never got the girl's name. "Uh... What's your name?" Izumi asked sheepishly.

"Himiko Toga," she answered.

"Wait, you mean like the wealthy Toga family?" Hansuke asked.

"Wait, that Toga? Really?" Someina asked Toga with a head tilt.

"... And that would make sense... They'd want to force her to be the standard rich stuck-up girl with no flaws..." Izumi grumbled. Someina nods understandingly. Izumi shook her head to get back on topic. "Anyways, now that you're Someina now, what are your thoughts on Toga's circumstances? Unlike your emotionally dead counterpart."

"I think she deserves sympathy. A lot of it! How mean was I earlier...?" Izumi tells her. Someina blinks before going over to a nearby building and slamming her head into it. "Why am I an asshole!?"

"Uh... Why doesn't she remember like how you seem to?" Toga asked Izumi.

"We think her female and male counter parts are split personalities and use the other half of the brain," Izumi answered.

"Like how the right is more for intelligence while the left is for creativity," Hansuke answered.

"... That would explain my soldier male personality and slacker delinquent female..." Bachi muses.

"But you still keep your memories of each other and what you did in each form, like Izumi, me and Katsuki," Hansuke pointed out. "Still don't know why they're so different."

"I think that Soshi and Someina block each other out so they don't have to deal with each other," Izumi theorized. "Might be why they are two different personalities; they are an AI after all."

"Yeah. Remember what the Director did to the Alpha? Soshi...well, Someina could be undergoing something similar, reversing a split personality disorder treatment."

Someina was making a sculpture out of trash.

"In this case, Soshi would be the logic half and Someina would be the creativity half."

Hansuke nodded. "But both are still smart, and make tech, Soshi's being more function than form, and Someina's form than function. Still, both work well."

Bachi nods as Someina finishes the current sculpture and moves on to a new one.

"Uh..." came a voice from behind all of them, making them all turn to see All Might, looking lost and confused at the whole situation. "Mind telling me what's going on, and why there's a girl tied up in cable? And what, I'm guessing who is young Shinzui, making art from the trash?"

All of them sweat-drop and thought, 'Oh boy... This will be a long story...'

To be continued...

______________________________________________________________________________

And that's the chapter. (Turns to see Soshi is now Someina) ... (Turns to Tkdboy) Did you do that?

Tkdboy: ... No.

Someina: "Oh, well, Izumi popped up after we did the intro!"

... I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing...

Tkdboy: Same.

Someina: "Well, that's rude!"

We meant by Izuku coming in and turning you without our permission to come in.

Tkdboy: Yeah, actually, how did he get here?

Someina: "Apparently, Soshi tried to get Izuku to do the outro because he was late for something."

... Has anyone told you your other half is an idiot when it comes to people...?

Someina: "No, but I do wonder what it was he was late for..."

BOOM!!!

Someina: "... something about attempting to make a safe version of Nuform...?"

... Let's end this here before my place blows up...

Tkdboy: Right.

We thank you all for coming and we hope you enjoyed the story, and if you want to see the I was talking about, it's called Izuku One Half By: Emma Iveli.

Tkdboy: I'll have to look into it later.

I recommend it. And with that, we'll see you all next time.

Someina: "Heck yeah!"

Have a good day and stay safe everyone.
