My Hero Characters react to "Izuku the Reincarnated Chef" Chapter 6

Hello everyone and welcome to the 6th chapter of My Hero Characters react to "Izuku the Reincarnated Chef". With me again is my friend, partner, and co-writer/author, JoySeeker101.

Joy: Pleased to be here. This one is a chapter I particularly like, since the Blackie here is a dog modeled after the Blacky of the original Chinese story that is often used in a very comedic way... Think Dog!Saitama, only lazier and with the same Pride of Escanor, if not worse. Both that and my version do talk in third person and call themselves This Lord Dog, after all...

So, Blackie's like Watchdog Man.

Joy: Pretty much, besides The System intervening directly, the Dog is the last security measure both in Bu Fang's Restaurant and Izuku's. Both Lord Dogs are "Deity Class" so to speak, they act only when either REALLY necessary (when Whitey SOMEHOW is not enough) or they are personally motivated, and the latter happens very rarely. Disgustingly OP.

Hey, I don't mind OP if it's done correctly. It can be entertaining.

Joy: Exactly.

Anyways, before we get derailed; whose turn was it to bring in the guest?

Joy: Mine, I suppose. And I brought Coco. He is level-headed enough to do a good job.

Then let's bring him in then.

Coco "I am here already. Should I start?"

Oh, hello Coco, it is good to see you. And yes you can.

Coco: "With pleasure... JoySeeker101 and Light He'art/Xarazechi do not own My Hero Academia, Toriko, Gourmet Of Another World or any other franchise, or any of the characters from said franchise. Only the idea and their Original Characters. Was that good?"

I think it's good. What about you Joy?

Joy: Very good, as expected from the Good Boy of the Heavenly Kings! Bravo!

Coco: "Shall we get the chapter started?"

We shall. And with that, on with the chapter.

Chapter 6: Watching Episode Five, "The Invincible Lord Dog"

(Meeting Room)

Back in the usual meeting rooms, all the love interests of Izuku met up.

"So are we going to discuss about Todoroki and his sister?" Ochako asked.

"I don't think we have a choice... I saw her... She is HOT. Like, 'I am straight, but I can make an exception' Hot. She may seriously be a threat if she doesn't join." Momo answered.

"I don't think she can steal Izuku away," Mina said.

"She wears Sexy Glasses In Real Life. She could manage that."

"Crap!" Many girls swore.

"You think they are both wanting to be with him?" Tamaki asked them all.

"Hard to say, she is a Todoroki. They made Kuudere an Art Form. But I believe Shoto only wants him as a brother, more than Lover... Hopefully." Momo answered.

"Well he did save him," Ochako and Tsuyu pointed out.

"Again, hard to say since Shoto's range of facial expressions is-" Momo stated.

"Poor?" Mina said.

"Lacking?" Tooru added.

"Miserable?" Setsuna said.

"Yes." Momo answered.

"We'll cross that bridge when we need to... so... Who's on to let the Todoroki 'Sexy Onee-san' to join?" Kinoko asked.

Jiro gave her a flat look. "Really... Sexy Onee-san...?"

"I am very outraged at the fact that the description actually works, because if she is who we are talking about... Yeah, I too want Todoroki Onee-san to spoil me. Possibly without clothes on." Rei admitted.

"She is not Bi, unfortunately. For some reason Shoto REALLY insisted upon it. I guess he somehow knew most of us are Bi-Curious and preferred to err on the side of caution." Momo answered, shrugging.

"So Todoroki-neechan is Dicku only?" Yui asked, pouting.

"In a sense, we all are. She is just exclusively Dicku only. No 'Girls Fun Nights' with her." Mina answered.

"Aaaaw! But I wanted to play Scissors-Sisters-Twisters with her!" she answered.

"I can't believe we have reached the point we talk so freely about sex and preferences..." Ibara whined in disbelief. Jiro patted her back, feeling the same way.

"I feel your pain..." Itsuka added, groaning.

"Can we stop talking about Sex," Mandalay ordered. "You girls are too young to talk about such a subject!"

"No." Yui and Setsuna answered, defiant.

"We'll ride the cinnamon bull, with or without your consent." Kyoka added.

"Please ignore them, they are the thirsty ones, just like Mina and Toru. They don't speak for all of us." Ochako said, groaning.

"And you say Mineta is bad..." Tamaki flatly stated at said girls were perverts.

"Big difference: We respect Izuku's boundaries, do not spy on him, nor force ourselves on him with more than hugs or, in extreme cases, kisses. We are trying to pull him out of his insecurities with an onslaught of small acts of intimacy, but the instant we see he is getting nervous or he doesn't like it, we immediately pull back!" Tsuyu answered.

"And he kind of likes it, I did feel something when I sat on his lap." Pony added with a mischievous smile.

"Oh, yes, me and Ochako definitely felt that something." Momo admitted, chuckling.

Ochaco pouted. "At least I didn't make a shrine, like a certain mushroom loving girl."

"To each their own! I am worshiping a couple pictures just as a training for the real deal! You will have to tie it to a rocket to keep my tongue away from those abs of his once we have formed our harem!" Kinoko declared.

"Mood!" Many girls, Tomoko and Pixie-Bob comprised, admitted.

Jiro and Ibara groaned.

"Don't groan. You two ALONE masturbate more than all of us combined while thinking about him." Setsuna said, huffing.

"LIBEL! LIES!" Both girls shrieked, their hair and ear jacks waving erratically.

"Shameful!"

"Mandalay, shut the fuck up." Pixie-Bob said.

"I-"

"You have a green custom Toy named after him. You are no saint either, so shut-up."

"... Okay, I will shut-up..." Shino muttered, ashamed.

"I feel sorry for Izuku..." Toru muttered out.

"I don't know if: 'I have so many girlfriends I don't know whom to satisfy first!' counts as something to feel sorry about," Itsuka answered.

"Aren't you supposed to be the sensible one here...?" Jiro asked the 1-B president flatly.

"I am sensible, but also realistic. The only reason all of this can even just barely work is because he is... Well... Himself. I don't think I would have trusted anybody else with an Harem!" She answered.

"True," they all agreed.

"There's a good saying that should be said," Ragdoll started, "'Girls like Bad Boys, Women like Good Guys~"

"... Is that a real thing, kero?" Tsu asked, finger to her chin in thought.

"More of an unspoken rule, but still valid!" Pixie-Bob answered.

"But it does seem to have merit," Momo stated.

Tamaki shrugs. "I'm not a girl, so I don't know."

"It actually works for boys too, they all want the Femme Fatale when they are young, then turn to the Philosophy of I don't want to be horny, I want Romance, or something like that." Setsuna answered.

"I guess that would be true."

"So do we have anything else to address?" Momo asked.

"I kind of do," Pony said.

"Shoot!" Mina said.

"Once we are done here, once Izu and we all get back...What will happen?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" Yui asked her classmate.

"Will things change between us all? I like having all of us train together, talking, joking, laughing... I-I don't want to go back to our 'Quasi rivalry'. Can we ... Can we stay like this?" She muttered, shy.

"I don't see why not," Momo stated. "We all respect each other. And we can keep up our train with each other with our new powers."

"Thank you!" Pony's smile was truly blinding at hearing that, enough it almost physically melted their hearts.

'To bright,' they all thought.

"So. meeting adjourned?" Momo asked, the first to recover.

"I say we can close it, until we actually do have some major decision to take, I believe we can close it short and get more training done." Itsuka answered.

"Fair enough." Mina and Setsuna answered in chorus.

Momo nodded. "Meeting adjourned until next time." She tabbed the gavel. "I do want to test out the new items I might be able to create." She held up the tablet she was given.

Itsuka nodded in agreement. "I do have training with Knocking Master."

"May as well train a little with our new toys too." Setsuna said, shrugging.

"Indeed." Reiko answered.

"I do have new shrooms to look up now, shroom," Kinoko stated.

The girls and Tamaki nodded, having new things to do, things to train and people to train with. They all headed out.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Kitchen)

Izuku and Komatsu were starting at both ends of the kitchen, both wanting to do a mock cooking battle, both being selected to become Gods of Cooking for their univers.

"Are you sure?" Komatsu asked.

Izuku nodded. "I may have my Quirks and new powers, but I still want to get better at it." He spins a cooking knife like a pro. "So who better to train with than another God of Cooking candidate." He then gave a sheepish smile. "Even if you were picked just recently...~" He then got serious. "But you have more training then I. I may have Zaus' knowledge, but I need to train to use it."

"That is not exactly an issue then, you just need to have the body catch-up to the brain. I can help you with that!" Komatsu answered, smiling encouragingly.

Watching them was the spirits of One for All and Zaus to watch, while Toriko, Fat Gum, Mirko, Tamaki and Setsuno were going to judge the dishes. All Might and Inko were there to give Izuku encouragement while Melk was there for her husband, and to show her two proteges what a Melk knife could really do.

Mei had a gleam in her eyes. "This should be fun to watch~!"

"We'll start slow. First we will go as pure technique: Peeling, Skinning, Cutting and other preparations. Then we'll make a dish. You okay with this?" Komatsu asked.

Izuku nodded. "Sure."

"Good! This may be a Challenge, but it is still a friendly one, remember. That being said, I prepared a few Ingredients of increasing difficulty. We'll start from the easiest and move through them all to the hardest. Who finishes first wins. This will be the first part, got it?"

Izuku nods. "Then after that we'll see who's meal is the better by the judges we selected. If it's a draw, we'll need a tie breaker."

"Making a drink that can go well with what we made," Komatsu stated. "That will be the tie breaker, if we do tie."

All Might took it on himself to be the ref. "Okay you two. You have 10 minutes to peel, skin, cut and other preparations, then present your dishes to the five judges. Are the both of you ready!?"

"Yes sir!" they both shouted, both looking serious at one another.

All Might lifted his hand in the air. "Then, BEGIN!" he shouted, bringing his arm down, making it blow wind around.

Izuku and Komatsu were off like bleers. Komatsu was already ahead, while Izuku was keeping up using One For All at 10% and using Black Whip and Float to skate around and hold all the ingredients in place to do all the preparations at the same time.

"Using his powers with my skills, the boy has talent," Zaus stated to the previous One for All wielders.

"Toshi chose a good kid," Nana stated.

It was close, but All Might was fast enough to know who won the first round. "First round goes to Head Chef Komatsu, for getting his ingredients done in the split second before Young Midoriya! Now you need to cook your dishes and present them. You have 8 minutes left!"

The two of them nodded, and went to work. They were just as fast as before.

"Good to see you're being fair All Might," Merko stated.

"I may be Izuku's teacher, but I will not let him win if he doesn't," All Might stated. "He will have to prove himself on his plate if he wants to win and go to the tie breaker."

Izuku heard this and pushed himself to get better, this awakening Danger Sense. His eyes widened, smiled and he used it to full advantage with his skills. Making sure he heard the voices of the food and knew when the right time was to change things up so the food wasn't in danger of burning or being over/undercooked.

Hikage Shinomori, the fourth user and the original user of Danger Sense smiled. He then talked to the other users quite enough so they could only hear."He just awakened my Quirk. Didn't think it could be useful in a cooking battle though. Kid could probably use it in ways I never thought of if he's this creative."

"Wonder if he can use Smokescreen like a smoker and use it for smoking food." En, the sixth user pondered. "Wouldn't be surprised if he can use Smoke Telekinesis powers with it... What would that be called?"

"I say Living Smoke Cooking has a nice ring to it." Setsuno answered, chuckling.

"And controlling smoke like that is called Typho-Telekinesis," Tamaki answered.

"OOOH! Just the right kind of edgy I like! Nice!" En answered, smirking.

"Really? I thought you would have hated seeing your Quirk used for this." Nana said, impressed.

En shrugged. "Hey, good food is good food, and he can be creative in practicing with it. Hell, if he can make things like Smoke chains and weapons, that would be something I'd like to see."

"It is a good way to train his powers without hurting himself," the first agreed.

"Honestly, as long as he keeps training this hard both to be a Chef and be a great Hero of the people, he can use my Quirk the way he likes." En said.

"Me too." First added.

"Me three."

"Yes, me too." Nana added.

"Wonder what he can do when he unlocks Fa Jin and the other Quirks," third pondered

"I'm wondering what he can do with Gearshift as well," the second pondered.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, although Turbo Cooking sounds scarier than it should." Izuku answered, touched.

"Are you not moving faster with the boost from your Quirk Izuku?" Inko asked her son. All Might and Izuku told her the truth about everything, right before the competition. And the other Quirks he'd be awakening from his successors. "Won't it help you in the long run?"

Izuku shrugs, getting back to cooking.

Moments later, both Izuku and Komatsu were finished with two minutes to spare, both wheeling five dishes/pots of what they made.

Izuku had made five plates of Beef Wellington, it looked like a loaf of bread, but they could smell the other ingredients inside of it.

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019/12/13/dining/mc-beef-wellington/mc-beef-wellington-articleLarge-v2.jpg

Komatsu had made pots of Hungarian Goulash. It had all the toppings and shown on top like a stew, all the noodles under it.

https://www.spendwithpennies.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hungarian-Goulash-21-500x500.jpg

"Wooo! Go, Komatsu! That's my Combo Partner!" Toriko whistled happily, and with a literal river of droll flowing down his mouth.

"Hey now, you need to be impartial, remember," Tamaki told him.

"... Oh... right..." He gave a sheepish smile, scratching the back of his head. "My bad..."

"I have to say, your dish Izuku looks bland on the outside, but I can tell, it's what is inside that what we're looking for," Fat Gum stated. "I take it this represents your beliefs as well. Both as a hero and a chef."

"I can tell that Komatsu's dish is the same," Setsuno stated. "We only see the top, and will have to work to see what's under it as well."

Izuku smiled sheepishly at Komatsu. "Guess we went with the same idea...~"

"And I like that! It means you are taking well to the knowledge of Mister Zaus! I am impressed!" Komatsu answered, smiling proudly.

"Okay, which should we try first?" Mirko asked, looking between the two dishes.

"I say we do cross. We of Komatsu's world will try Icchan's dish first while you others will try Komatsu's. Then we will switch. Sounds good?" Setsuno asked.

"I think that's far," Tamaki stated, nodding in agreement.

"I'm down with it," Mirko stated, giving a thumbs up.

"..Toriko..." Setsuno said.

"What?"

"That is not for you, it's for the judges. Put down the dishes. Just a dish and pot, not all five things."

"Aaaaaw!"

"I'll make it again later, Toriko-san. Promise." Komatsu said, gently.

"Same," Izuku agreed.

"Oookay..."

"Toriko..." Setsuno said, eyes borrowed.

"Oh! Fine!" he said while handling back everything else besides his own share. He had a pout on his face.

"Well then, shall we start the tasting?" Fat Gum asked, taking his pot of Hungarian Goulash, having a giant spoon out, ready to dig in.

"I say... Look at the crust..." Toshinori said to himself with a low voice full of surprise.

"Good coloring, so the heat was managed properly. Tenderness...Yes, just at sight, it has been made properly." It was a mystery how Setsuno could sound that cheerful and yet clearly doing the equivalent of a X-Ray scan to the dishes with her eyes alone.

"Now is for the true test," Toriko stated, getting a knife and fork to eat the Beef Wellington.

"I agreed," Mirko stated, smiling maniacally. She was a hungry bunny. "Shall we then?" she asked.

The group from Toriko and Zaus' world were used to fancy and well-made food, and yet, they were pleasantly surprised to see the new iteration/Reincarnation of the former King of Cooking being already that good; Especially the bread crust carefully wrapped around the meat: crunchy just right and soaked in the meat's own flavor just right without becoming soggy or breaking apart.

The meat itself was a pleasant rosy color as the innermost part maintained a mouth-watering juiciness that just melted in the mouth, all enriched by the spices that had been used to prepare it.

"Hahahaha! Good! Very Good! You are taking-in well Zaus-chan knowledge!" The Knocking Master declared with a loud barking laugh, face just as red as the meat thanks to the numerous bottles of booze he had emptied.

"Oh crap! This is amazing!" In the meantime, the group from the 'Hero World' had once again been reminded of the otherworldly talent of Chefs from Komatsu's world.

The Goulash was just...Heavenly.

The small cubes of meat were just so tender the eaters almost didn't notice how ravenous their mounching had got, too enraptured by the taste; the broth itself warm and smooth and seemingly melting the very soul of the taster, even the potatoes had become like silk, offering just a faint resistance to the bite before joining the rest of the dish that simply flowed down almost by its own volition. The pots turned empty before they could even notice.

"Dang kid's got competition," Mirko stated, looking happy at the meal she ate.

"I agree," Fut Gum stated.

Toriko and Setsuno were eating Izuku's dish, and could taste Izuku's passion in it, along the faint 'aftertaste' of his still being a sort-of-beginner.

Fat Gum and Rush instead, as the Foodies of their group were at an impasse: The skill Level both showed was still far from any frame of comparison they had, how did one judge food made with a Talent that defied the very Laws of Nature of one's world?

Toshinori, as well, felt in heaven. He loved both dishes, but, because of his old wound, he had kind of forgotten what actual good food was so... How to judge something that To HIM was food beyond his wildest imagination? He was just glad he was not one of the judges, he had not the faintest clue about how to judge this! He was in just for the experience!

Inko was in the same boat, she loved her son, but both boys were amazing at their skills.

The other Heavenly Kings instead were surprisingly serious-looking, as used to true Gourmet Food, their brains were revving to full-throttle to analyze EVERYTHING in every single morsel, even Zebra looked uncharacteristically serious when eating, instead of just... Gobbling everything up.

The judges finished both courses, both loving each dish. Mirko decided to be the first to speak. "I'm going to be brutally honest. You both are fuckikng amazing at what you do." she stated, getting a stern look from Inko for the swear. "But I can tell, it wasn't tasting alone that won this. It was the passion of what it was made of. And I'm going to give my vote to greeny here, since I could tell he was putting, not only himself, but those he cares for into his dish, to show what he really has."

"Huhuhu! Well said!" Komatsu answered, nodding along with her reasoning.

"Passion? I tasted a whole LOT of it in this! You two put your soul in this, besides tasting awesome, as I expected, the techniques used were waaaay greater than I have ever seen, even with Rush here." Fat Gum added, smirking wide when the Hero Chef grumbled disheartedly his confirmation to all that.

"That being said...I still need to go with Komatsu-san, because there was that certain spark more." he then said.

"Hohoho! 1-1, uh? Well, I will vote for Icchan, instead. There is a lot of talent there just begging to burst forth and shine, and I believe this first show of Cooking talent needs to be celebrated. You okay with this, Koma-chan?" Setsuno said.

"Of course!"

"Uuuh! I eat soooo well! I always love some roasted meat, it tasted awesome!" Toriko said-

"..."

"So?" Komatsu asked, confused.

"Uh?"

"YOUR VOTE!" Miruko roared.

"AAh! Yes! I forgot... Eeeehm..."

"Just vote for Izuku-san, I won't be offended." Komatsu said, rolling his eyes.

"I really like roasted meat." Toriko said, grimacing.

"I know."

"But it was more than that," Toriko stated, getting serious. "I know your cooking, and it's amazing, not gonna lie, but Midoriya's was better, because he not only used Zaus's know-how, but also used his own powers to amplify it to another level. I may not have liked the way people prioritize Quirks in Izuku's world, but I will not bash him for using every tool in his kitchen drawers to make it seem almost perfect. So that's why he has my vote. He used all his powers to combine something amazing, like his dish, it's on the inside that matters."

Setsuno laughed at Toriko's answer. "Yes, young and a beginner young Midoriya is, he shows that he is someone not to take lightly, otherwise, he'll bind side you with something unexpected~ That's why my vote is Izuku as well. He did like his school said, and went beyond."

Izuku looked shocked. "I-I actually...?"

"And the winner of the second part, by four to one vote, is IZuku," All Might shouted. "That means we have a tie break on our hands people~!"

Komatsu grinned at Izuku. "Guess I'm going to have to do what your school says, and Go Beyond, Plus Ultra Style then if I'm going to beat you."

Izuku had a determined smile on his face. "I won't make it easy, like you said to me."

Just then, multiple fruits and veggies appeared on the tables. "The tie breaker is this, you have one minute to make a healthy, and yet great tasting smoothie or fruit/vegetable juice to wash down the meal that was had," All Might declared. "The winner will be the in training God of Cooking champion until the next match battle."

"Fruit or veggies? TotastegoodIwouldneedtobalancetastesandtextureandcolortonotmakeittooheavyorblandoreventoogreasyand-Mutter! Mutter! Mutter!"

"Well, he is taking this seriously at least." Komatsu commented, amused at Izuku's immediate mumbling fit as he kept looking at everything on the table with unblinking eyes.

"Maybe I should make an Immune Booster? I would need some Orange, Lemon, and Ginger to make the juice..." Izuku mumbled, soon listing off all the Ingredients he knew he needed.

"I think I'll make a Tropical Carrot, Ginger, and Turmeric Smoothie," Komatsu stated.

"Uuuh! Spicy!" Toriko said, smirking.

"I remember we had one of those in that seedy bair in Haiti when-" All Might started saying.

"NOPE! THEY ARE WAY TOO YOUNG TO HEAR THAT STORY!" Nana immediately silenced him, while turning atomic neon red in embarrassment.

"No, no, keep going, I want to hear this~" Daigoro stated, a teasing smile at her.

"Well, there was this guy with a banjo that-"

"SILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENCE!"

"Okay!" Toshinori shrieked in fear.

"Can we get back to the contest..." Mirko asked, flatly.

Toshinori coughed. "Y-Yes. Let's begin the final round. Aaaand... GO!"

Izuku and Komatsu started prepping the fruits and vegetables, along with other items they'd need.

"1 blood or navel orange. Might use both, peel and white pith removed. 1 large carrot scrubbed and coarsely chopped. 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks. 2/3 cup coconut water. 1: tablespoon shelled raw hemp seeds. 3/4 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger. 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peeled turmeric. Pinch of cayenne pepper. Pinch of kosher salt." Komatsu listed, blending all the ingredients together.

Izuku was muttering up a storm, making sure all the Carrot, Ginger, and Turmeric were juiced properly, and mixed together perfectly, bending them together to get the best in taste and benefits of boating everyone's Immunity to the max.

Both were going so fast and giving it their all, some of the watchers were getting dizzy.

"... Komatsu is going pretty slow, for his standards." Coco whispered with a thoughtful expression.

"He is not in an official Cooking Competition, he's doing well in making this balanced, there is no need to rush." Setsuno answered.

"So no rivalry?" Toriko asked.

"Hohoho! Why should there be? We are all friends here! Komatsu-kun will be fundamental in helping our young friend learn how to become a great Chef! It's a friend helping a friend, remember!" The old lady said.

"Times up!" All Might shouted. Izuku and Komatsu made plenty of drinks for everyone.

The two give five glasses to the judges. Even though they were drinks, they could all smell the freshness of the fruits and all that. They then drank them, tasting the flavors of both.

"I can smell the aroma of all the ingredients of the drinks," Fat Gum stated. "That's impressive."

"Another difficult choice?"

"I fear so." The BMI Hero answered.

"Yes, Izuku's drink was simple, but he made it with great passion," Mirko stated. "I can already feel better. But Komatsu's smooth was complex and should have had more trouble making it with the short amount of time he had, but it turned out almost perfect!"

"Difficult is a state of mind, for a Chef, no dish is really difficult." Zaus answered.

"Don't get philosophical on me, old man!" The rabbit shouted at the ghost.

"What Philosophy? Just follow the Voice of the Ingredients, simple as that!"

"Don't hide behind mysticism now!"

"You really are rude, missy!"

"Meh!" she just shrugs.

"Can we get to the voting now?" Tamaki asked, letting out a sigh.

"What the insomniac said. What's your vote?" Zebra asked, grumbling in annoyance.

"Hey now..."

"Shinso is the one that doesn't sleep! Tamaki is just a bit broody by default!" Mirio said.

"Gee... Thanks for the help." he answered, deflating a bit.

"I think I'm going to go with... Komatsu," Toriko declared his vote. "Izuku's Immune Booster Juice was good, but Kometsu's smooth just had a bit more to it."

"I'm going to say Izuku, his drink helped with what we ate and went well with everything," Fat Gum stated, happily.

"While I do agree with you on Izuku's drink, I think Komatsu's was better balanced and mixed well with our meal," Setsuno said, while still studying her empty glass.

"Eh, I don't know, I feel better after Izuku's drink, since he made it to help the body more. I might like my carrots, but I could barely taste them in the smoothie. Carrots are SACRED!" Mirko stated and many rolled their eyes at that.

"So it's 2 votes even," All Might declared. He looked at the last judge. "Young Tamaki, it's your vote that'll break this tie."

Every eye was now on the young man... Staring... Waiting...

Tamaki was sweating nervously at this. "Uh... well... this is tough... Both were excellently made, and both put a lot of thought into their drinks to make them sweet and tangy to mix with our meals nicely. I'm having a hard time picking which one was-"

"Stop stalling!" Rumi and Zebra yelled, interrupting him, and making him yelp.

"Hey, don't shout at him," both Izuku and Komatsu scolded the two battle junkies.

"It's just to help him! Stop babying him!" Rumi said.

"He has a pair! This is no life-or-death matter! He can give his opinion without fear here!" Zebra added.

"Yes but you rushing him could lead to him making a misvote," Komatsu stated.

"We want his honest opinion like what Toriko gave," Izuku stated.

"Both things are valid." Rumi said.

"No they are not. Now PLEASE let him think and vote!" Toshinori answered, facepalming.

Tamaki groaned out, "Why did I agree to this again..." He then sighs. "Like I was saying, since both were good, it was hard to pick. But in honesty... I'm giving my vote to Komatsu for making something great that could have ended badly if he took one misstep in the time he had. While playing it safe is good Izuku, sometimes you need to take a risk, you should know this."

Izuku looked sheepish. "Sorry, I guess Aizawa made me tense by thinking of doing things recklessly without a plan..."

"That guy is just a hard ass..." Zebra stated in a deadpan tone of voice.

"Hohoho! It's a matter of balance, Icchan. But it is not your fault, not everybody can safely tell when to take risks and when not to, and it is not just a matter of knowing your own limits! Sometimes Luck as well plays a big role: you can take a daring decision and win or play it safe and win... It's not something with a clear set of rules, you need to trust your Instincts. And what were your instincts telling you while cooking?" Setsuno said.

Izuku smiles thanks.

"That's a idiotic reasoning you have..." the said voice of Aizawa stated dryly, as he walked in. giving Setsuno a dry look. "If you get hurt doing something reckless, not only does that make you another, you'll also become another victim for your allies to worry about... We have enough knuckleheaded idiots already with All Might and Zebra here..."

"We agree to disagree then, Aizawa-chan. That's what makes Life have such a wondrous taste: we all have different views and opinions. Hohoho! You like to play safe all the time and only take calculated risks, while I prefer to follow my heart and face consequences head-on. And if I die? Well, I die knowing I did my best. Is it wrong? Maybe. Will I change? No, because this is who I am." She answered, gentle smile never faltering.

Aizawa's eyebrow twitched. "You're just like Oboro, and look where that ended up with him..." Aizawa stated, remembering how he let his friend die from his actions.

"I'll take it from here..." Mic said, sighing...

AND decking Aizawa on the nose with a right hook.

"This usually resets him back to normal. Oboro was my friend too, but I treasure every memory of him I have. I don't use him as an excuse to close myself from the world nor to impose my views on others in fear of filling another grave. Golden Cages help nobody, not even who is using them to keep people Safe." Mic explained, nursing his hand.

Aizawa looked away. "If I had been more focused and didn't jump in... Oboro wouldn't had have to-"

"Allow me..." Nemuri as well jumped in, with her own straight punch to his nose.

"Gah! Will you two stop that!" he roared at his two friends.

"Not until you get it through your thick skull. He did it, because he was a hero, he did what was right, even though he died doing so," Nemuri scolded him.

"You-"

"Oh! It's Aizawa Punching day?" Toshinori asked, hulking out a bit more with his Quirk.

"NO!" Aizawa answered, rapidly turning Toshinori's power off before the guy's Skyscraper-wrecking Punch could get any close to his nose. Aizawa sighs. "Look... I just don't want these kids to lose someone while they're still in school... I don't want them to go through the same thing. Life isn't a fairy tale or comic book, when you die, there's no coming back."

"Yes. That is how death works usually..." Zebra said, sounding bitter.

"Hey! Hey! Ichiryu wouldn't want to see you mop around like that! Cheer up!" Knocking Master said immediately once seen the four Kings turn sorrowful.

"Way to kill the mood, Shouta. God forbid people are happy around you." Rumi said, glaring at Aizawa hard enough even he flinched.

"Well...." the voice of light started, surprising everyone. "About your people staying dead in your world..." He looks at Joy. "Should we tell them?"

"Depends, are they ready? Can they shoulder the weight of that bit of Knowledge? It is no small matter, that." The Eye answered, removing the hat to scratch the part of its body under it, and his sounding extremely serious sounded alien coming from him.

"Tell us what...?" All Might asked, not liking where this was going.

"That both Oboro and Dabi are actually Nomus that All For One turned into for his plans to ruin Hero Society and rule everything..." Light stated sternly. "And wants to take Shigaraki's Body as his new vessel..."

"Pretty much. Many branches of Future go in that direction." Joy confirmed.

"W-Which Nomu is Oboro...?" Aizawa asked, hoping they hadn't met his friend yet.

"Do I?" Joy asked.

"They were going to find out soon," Light stated. "Go ahead."

"Remember the guy that opens Portals for the Villains? The Nomu with a body covered in smoke?... Kurogiri?"

Aizawa, Mic and Nemuri's eyes widened in shock. "Y-You mean..." Nemuri asked, coving her mouth in horror.

"If you want to stop the Villains, you will have to kill your friend again. Sorry." The Eye said with a sorrowful tone.

"And who's Dabi?" All Might asked, having a sinking feeling.

"Enji's oldest son who everybody thought died," Light answered. "The death that broke Enji into the man he is today. And his mind altered to believe Enji was always so horrible from the start."

"If you ever needed a reason to kill a Villain, I believe these two things alone should suffice. Even if All for One has a long list of Sins on his back." Joy said, shrugging helplessly.

Zebra looked pissed. "I want to kill this All For One..." he growled out.

"There is a way to save them and help cure them though." the System voice interjected on the conversation. "Host Izuku and Komatsu can use their cooking to return them to normal. They can also help Himiko Toga with her Quirk's mind altering effects due to her parent's carelessness in forcing her to repress her Quirk."

"WE CAN DO THAT?!" Both Chefs yelled.

"I mean... It is a sort of Healing. If you look at it while squinting." Joy said.

"Indeed." Light conceded. "Izuku does do that in-"

"HOOOOOY!" The Eye shrieked and he quickly covered his mouth to not spoil things in Joy's universe.

"NO SPOILERS!" Light shouted, almost slipping out something he didn't mean to from the shock. "Sorry, I was just shocked that it can happen here as well."

"Just keep yourself in check, there are details I would like to keep a secret unless necessary, please." The Eye answered, massaging the sides of its body as if it were his temples.

"It is usually the opposite of how you two interact," Izuku stated.

The two shrug. "It happens."

"We are both Professionals, don't look at either of us goofing off and believe we are cretins. We just know when to have fun and how." Joy said.

"Levity is rare for us, so we cherish and enjoy it when we can." Light added. "Even if I am stoic, I do need simple, funny things to keep me from getting bored."

"Same."

"Like what, you have the three mentioned people here in another location?" Zebra asked, sarcastically.

The three beings in the room said nothing.

Light looked at the others. "We should check on Gaia and Xarazechi."

"Yes, we should. Just in case they need something."

The three vanished.

"I don't like the implications of that..." Melissa stated. Everyone nodded in agreement.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Training room)

In the training room, half of the watchers were in there to test out their new stuff they got from their first and second challenges. The others that had watched and finished the cooking challenge walked in to join as well, some wanting to blow off steam after some variations.

"Zebra Sensei!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu called out, waving to the man. "We could use your help over here!"

"Looks like your two fans are calling for you~" Toriko teased the other King.

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up, smart-ass." Zebra answered, grumbling.

"Hey now, I know you like hanging out with them," Coco stated.

"Liking is pushing it. I am just slightly appreciative to see somebody open to not be a blowhard."

"Uh?" Sanni muttered, confused.

"He is taking the long, roundabout way to say that yes, he does enjoy hanging out with them." Coco said.

Zebra just huffed, walking over to the two students. "So, I'm guessing you want to train with the new items, hn? Got excited for the new toys and whatnot?"

"Yeah!" both shouted, pumped up.

"I want to use my Dumbbells of Arkalayus while in Red Riot: Indestructible Mode to get strong while I punch at you," Kirashima stated.

"Just don't overdo it."

"Yeah, I know! Don't get cocky!"

"No, as in: don't make it too heavy or you will die. Then the floating fuckers will have to resurrect you." Zebra answered.

"Oh... That... Right..." The boy answered, paling a bit.

"And I did take some of the iron supplements given to me, still waiting to eat the edible iron I heard of," Tetsutetsu stated.

"Zaus said he will give it a look at it later, don't rush." Zebra answered.

"The edible minerals from Narnia will come, just be patient," The System voice confirmed. "They need to be extracted from the center of the planet itself." (A/N 1)

"I like having delivery service for pretty much everything." Tetsutetsu admitted, laughing.

"You tell me! So many things to study and try!" Izuku admitted with shining eyes.

"Curb the Nerdgasm, please...?" Katsuki asked with a sigh.

"These sound really good, can't wait to taste them myself. So you better NOT cook them bad, fucker!" Zebra ordered.

"I won't, promise." Izuku answered, determined.

"Good."

"Well then Sensei, want to see if my steel is getting stronger~?" Tetsutetsu asked the man, activating his Quirk.

Kirishima activated his new form and had the dumbbells heavy enough to make his arms sag a bit from the weight. "Ready when you are Sensei~!"

"Good... And I will start slow so I won't hear bitching about it..." Zebra answered, rolling his eyes.

"He is learning! Good!" Toriko shouted with a thumbs-up.

"Fuck off... Let's start."

"We'll make you go harder then!" the two shouted, running at Zebra.

"Better!" The man answered with a savage smile. "I do have some Animal I want to test summon on you two!"

With Mei, Mellisa, Melick and Momo, the four were going over items Momo could create from her new list she got.

"Oh, I want to test this Vibranium Metal here!" Mei shouted, pointing to the compound.

"Starting big already. Can't say I don't appreciate the guts. Just keep a lot of food close-by just in case-" Melk started saying.

"HERE!" Both Komatsu and Izuku said while both carried a giant pot of food, some stew overflowing in meat and other hyper-nutritious ingredients.

"Oh! Well, good. Let's try then."

"This Adamantium is incredible, it's nearly indestructible," Melissa stated, seeing the compound and reading it's discretion. "Knives made by these would be so sharm and never dall. And think of the armor we could make."

"I both hate and love it..." Mei admitted.

"Uh?"

"We can do great things with it, but so can Villains. And I don't like to limit myself just to avoid some cretin hurting innocents with their babies... or even worse, MY Babies..." She said, poutting

"It's called having a conscience." Melk said with a gentle smile.

"... I hate it. Can I uninstall it?"

"Don't joke." the girls answered, chuckling.

"I did see another space metal called Raritanium," Momo stated. "It's another mineral that sounds really durable and with lots of uses."

"Good for armors too. The ones made with that take plasma like champs." Joy said. "And good for spacecraft as well from that univers. Very rare though, hence the name."

"There are a lot of items that are crazy in the multiverse," Melk stated, thinking of all the knives she could forge.

"And that's just metals," Momo stated, looking at all the other items on her tablet. "There's other items, from liquids to gasses as well."

"You have a lot to study and learn, young Momo. The Multiverse is a source of immense knowledge, and why not, many bits of insane new things to learn. Go wild, girl! You can do it!" Joy answered, patting her head in pride.

Momo nodded. "I wonder if I can make items that have magic properties as well...?" Momo asked. "Since magic is energy and not living... I would assume."

"Well we have a while before we have to go back, so let's study and see what you can and can't make," Mei stated, her manic smile on her face.

"Baby steps, though. And feel free to ask, I saw many strange things out there, so I can answer your questions." Joy offered.

"Thanks," the four thanked him. They started chatting and Momo started eating and making some of the items that were sent to the forge for later use, and to see if they could replicate some without Momo's Quirk.

With Eri and Kota, they were being helped by Izuku, Mirio, Nighteye and the Wild Wild Pussycats were helping the kids with Quirk Training.

"You can do it, Eri-chan! I believe in you!" Izuku said, smiling so wide in fatherly pride it almost physically emitted light.

"Thanks, daddy!" Eri said, smiling as well. She was practising on an older looking Apple to try and reverse it to a better, fresher state.

"... My fucking heart melted..." Monoma admitted with a grimace.

"I think a lot of our hearts did," Toriko admitted, holding his chest.

"GO, KOTA, GO! GO, KOTA, GO! YAAAAAAAY!" Meanwhile the WIld WIld Pussycats cheered loudly for the boy.

"Could do without the cheerleader team..." Kota admitted, blushing shyly. He then shot water from his hand, shouting, "Water Dragon!" forming said dragon of water, but only as big as he was. "I did it!" he cheered, awein his voice and eyes.

"YOU DID! I am so proud of you!" Izuku said, proud beyond belief and hugging him tight.

"Thanks, dad!" the kid answered.

"..."

"..."

Complete silence fell in the entire gym

"..." Cough! "Pretend I said nothing." Kota muttered, awkwardly.

Laughter erupted from around them, most in good humor.

"Is Kota my brother now?" Eri asked innocently.

"We are working on it." Pixie Bob answered.

"Yep!" Ragdoll added.

"KYAH!" Shino simply buried her face in her hands to hide from everybody's eyes.

Everyone just laughed harder.

Meanwhile; Ochako, Nana, Knocking Master, and Itsuka were training together. Ochako wanted to get better with flying around and fighting in the air and on the ground.

"It's good to see I have more students," Knocking Master stated, smiling. "And one that can fly, never thought I'd train someone like that~!"

"I spent a week at Gun Head's agency so I know some of his fighting style, but I want to broaden my horizon and learn to fight with other styles as well to help me on both land and sky." Ochoko informed, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "I still want to be a rescue hero, but I don't want to be defencles on the field."

"I think it's a good idea," Nana agreed. "Since Izuku has powers like mine, I can teach you how to fly around properly."

"I really need that, even after the "Food Power-up", I do think I still need help with this whole floating business... Please?" Ochako answered with an awkward smile.

Nana giggles. "I got you."

"So, what should I teach this young wipesnaper first~?" Knocking Master asked. "Maybe have her fly around to try to learn to understand in an instant where she and everything else is? Possibly upside-down too? Ya know? Spatial Awareness stuff. Maybe have her and Itsuka spar to see where the girl's at?"

"That should have been the first thing she learned the moment she got her Quirk. But I recognize that Floating and Floating-related Quirks are so rare that... Well, Good thing we are here to finally fill those gaps." Nana said.

"And I would like a new sparring partner as well," Itsuka stated, looking at Ochako.

Ochako smiles at her." I hope we do well together then~!"

"Hohoho! So excited, lassie! That's good! I hope you will keep-up the hype to the end!" Knocking Master answered, amused.

The two Heroes in training were now sweating.

Toriko was with his friends and some of the pro heroes looking over his new map.

"Man, when they said the multiverse was big... I didn't think this big..." he stated, going over the map.

"Technically it's infinite." Joy said, and Toriko KNEW the Eye was technically smirking at him.

"Hardy-har-har... How do I even read this!?" He said, shaking the map.

"By putting it rightside-up, for starters. You are reading it upside-down." Light said, gently taking the map away to turn it around.

"... I can't believe I had it that way..." he muttered, then saw an arrow that said 'You Are Here'.

"Well you did just get the damn thing," Aizawa stated.

"I heard you need a punch from time to time. For Medical Reasons."

"... You people are Hooligans." Azawa answered, hurting away.

"Hey now, don't be too hard on him now, he just found out his friend is being manipulated like a puppet by All For One now."

"Don't baby him, otherwise he will do something moronic, like kicking out of school an entire class only to re-enroll them the next day just to scare them into compliance." Rin said.

"..."

"Oh my god you did that..."

"At the time it sounded like a good idea." Aizawa admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "They did actually improve after it... And are the top class now..."

"And still ship him boxes full of poo to this day. Literally." Mic added.

"It wasn't a flawless plan, yes." He then chokes Mic with his scarf, eyes glowing in anger and his Quirk. "And you did NOT need to add that last part...!"

"Never forget your sins!" He choked-out. "I am here to guide you to absolut... Absolu... Absolution..."

"Let him go, he is turning blue." Nemuri said.

Aizawa did so, and Mic took in the sweet air. "Oh gods... I thought I was going to pass..."

Aizawa sighs, looking at the floor, actually looking sad and remorseful. "Sorry... Just... After hearing what happened to Oboro..."

"We'll fix that, together. We will save him and give him the rightful rest he deserves instead of being paraded around like a trophy." Mic said, rubbing his neck but smiling all the same.

"We will stop the League, we will." Nemuri added.

"And if Midoriya and Komatsu can fix him so he can be himself again?" Aizawa asked them.

"We'll help him be who he was before," they stated.

"Good for you guys, now if you don't mind... CAN YOU GUY HELP ME FIGURE THIS STUPID MAP OUT!!!!???" Toriko roared in anger and frustration. He was pulling at his hair in annoyance.

Aizawa sighs, but has a genuine smile on his face for the first time in a while. "You're hopeless, you know that?"

"Yes, I am! That's why I ask my friends for help, I know my limits! Now please help meeeeeee!"

"I will, I will. Let me see... Jesus, it does look complex..." Aizawa stated. He then stated, giving Toriko the stink eye. "Did you ask it to add our universe..." he asked, pointing to the 'Ask for worlds/universe to add'.

Everyone gave Toriko a flat look.

"I was about to..." Totriko stated, looking away sheepishly.

Many facepalmed. Toriko just gave a sheepish laugh, doing so.

Just then the speakers came on. "Five minute warning, can the three female members of the Wild Wild Pussycats come by to reserve their prize?" Xarazechi's voice called out.

"Right! We almost forgot!" Joy said.

"In our defense, this is a lot to manage." Light answered, chuckling a bit in self-deprecation. "I do try to remember everything."

The three women grabbed the two and dragged them off to the theater, the others cleaning up and grabbing their things.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Theater Room)

Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, and Ragdoll stood still as Joy drew a circle around them with a chalk, Light and Xara were a bit to the side and mumbling a storm, probably deciding how to tackle their gift to the women.

"Good, this is mostly as a security measure, remain within the circle and don't move around too much, it will give us a better target to lock-on. This is not an easy thing to do, so precision is a must." The Eye said, voice serious.

"Uh... couldn't I just give them an Elixir of Rejuvenation?" Gaia asked them. "Those always work for this as well."

"A ritual is more precise, nowadays it is all potions and elixirs. The Old Ways used to be more trustworthy in results." Light answered.

"True, but if you get one thing wrong in making it, bad things tend to happen" the System told them.

".. True, but it's more rewarding if done properly," Light stated.

"And can't be undone by some arbitrary bullcrap." Joy added.

"... True," Gaia agreed.

"Can you five not talk about this sort of stuff like we're not here in these circles?" Pixie-Bob asked them.

"Hey! It's important! If we screw-up, we'll turn you three into old hags instead of hot teen babes!" Xara answered, annoyed.

"Shutting up..."

"Okay, that looks right, Joy," Light stated, having the circle look identical to the one that was shown.

"Glad to see I still got it. You two instead are ready with the more technical side?" The Eye asked.

They nodded.

"We'll help as well," Gaia stated.

"The System will give this a go as well," the System stated.

The circles start glowing, what look like clocks appearing above the three women. They start rewinding, the three girl's ages reversing as well until they were in their eighteen to twenty range of age. The clocks disappeared and the glow stopped.

"And it's done," Gaia stated, smiling at the three.

"Damn, we're good!" Joy said, chuckling.

"How much you want to bet Midnight and Mt. Lady want the same thing?" Light asked. "And done to Inko as well, if Midnight asked."

"Suckers bet," they all stated.

"Thought so. We'll keep the circle already ready then." He then put a preservation spell on them so they wouldn't get ruined.

Just then, the rest of the watchers walked in, and were surprised to see Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, and Ragdoll were now younger.

"Damn girls, you got your teen looks back~" Midnight teased the girls. Mt. Lady pouted at seeing this.

"We're forever eighteen now~!" the girls stated, at the same time. They then laughed at this.

"Dang," Gran stated. "You think you can do that for me, I ain't no spring chicken. Need to keep these zygoats in shape~!"

Both Izuku and All Might shivered in fear.

"I mean... We can do that, technically..." Joy said, unease.

"In your case, though, there may be complications seeing how much we would need to take you back." Light added, equally unsure.

He waved them off. "You're gods, I'm sure it'll be fine." He then took his seat again. "We got a show to watch first. I hope we get some more deserts soon~!"

"Fingers crossed!" Ryukyu answered, chuckling.

"He likes his sweets, I take it?" Toriko asked, getting a nod from Izuku and All Might.

"Even too much, something bad for his health." Nana answered.

"Oh, shut up! I am old and with a foot in the grave already! Let me enjoy life!" Gran answered, huffing like a spoiled kid, something that made many chuckle in amusement.

Xara shook his head, but laughed lightly, smiling. "Alright, let's get seated and get to the next episode."

Everyone does so. The lights dim, and the screen turns on.

A Chef Rebirth 5:

The Invincible Lord Dog.

UA University – Parking Lot -

Katsuki wore a thoughtful expression while he waited for the rest of the class to board their bus for whatever little expedition their teachers saw fit to tell them nothing about, and even if it was for safety's sake, the young man found the entire thing stupid, to say the least.

"Bunch of paranoid bastards..." he muttered.

"Well this is starting off wonderfully..." Jiro said flatly.

"In my defense, it's not Paranoia if there are actually people out to get us!" Nezu answered, cuckling.

"Oh, no, I get it," Jiro agreed. She pointed her thumb to the blond bomber. "I was talking about him insulting it."

"It's a free world, I have every right to share my opinion!" Katsuki answered, smirking.

"Yeah, well, you don't have to be an ass about it," she shot back.

"I like to believe that it adds character to my answers."

"GNNNNNNN!" The girl just pulled on her own jacks in frustration.

"You can stand to be less of a brute," Sunni stated.

"Ah shove it, pretty boy," Katsuki waved him off.

As of lately, though, his thoughts shifted a bit towards an old acquaintance of his, once dreaming of becoming a Hero, and now working as a Chef in a small restaurant.

"You would have found all this exciting, wouldn't you? Blabbering on and on about everything, always so furiously mumbling about bullshit you find interesting...I wish you were here." Sitting alone in that bus, Katsuki muttered that admission with a long sigh.

He fucked up, that much he could admit at least in the secrecy of his thoughts, he finally saw him after more than one year and Izuku had treated him...Coldly. He didn't like that. And the more he thought about the Chef, the more he found things were strange: the light in his eyes, the posture, the mannerism...He was serving Pro Heroes and was not fangirling about them! What happened to him?!

"Aaaaw! He cares!" Zebra said, laughing.

"That's so cute, Exlodo-boy!" Rumi added, laughing.

"Ah shove it! You're one to talk, Ms. 'I want to bang him to make other girls jealous'! Just admit it, you want to bunny hop on that dick!" Katsuki fired back at the rabbit hero. He then pointed to Zebra. "And you shut it, striped horse lover! I don't want to hear this coming from the guy who's taken Shitty Hair and Iron Moron as students!"

"I can appreciate others, it's just very rare for me to do. Not my fault I only meet bastards or Cocky Assholes in need of a punch or twenty." Zebra answered, shrugging.

"..."

"Rumi?" Ryukyu asked.

"..." Rumi just looked away, but heat could be faintly felt coming off from her face.

"Want me to youngify you after this? Just a couple years." Joy asked her with a whisper.

"... I'll tell you later..."

"I don't know, I think he likes you like this~" Gaia teased her, Ryukyu giggle at her friend being flustered.

"... I hate you all..." she grumbled.

"Izuku too?" Ryukyu asked, smirking.

"... Nnnnoooo?"

"Thought so."

She really wanted to kick someone or something now.

"Something's up with him." he muttered, and he almost didn't notice the bus departing as soon as the last student boarded it. He needed to have that restraining order revoked, there was something wrong with the Nerd and Katsuki needed more freedom of movement to uncover the truth!

He needed to look deeper into that Restaurant, Izuku was supposed to be a bubbly, annoying and ever-excited Nerd, not that block of wood he had met!

"I mean... He only seems that way to those that deserve it in this world," Mina stated, thinking about it.

"Am I that bad? Really?" Izuku asked, looking hurt.

"Has he given you any reason not to be happy with him?" Ochako asked him, pointing her thumb at Katsuki.

"OI! I CAN BE NICE IF I WANT TO!" the blond pomurainion shouted.

"It is true," Light stated. "Actually I saw a world where Katsuki jumped into a river to save a girl and a puppy from drowning."

"Did he eat them after that?" Tetsutetsu asked, with a joking tone in his voice.

"No... but he did scold her for boeing stupid, and she was being lowered by two other kids to save the dog, who then dropped her," Xara told them. (A/N 2)

"I am not a cannibal, effing thank you!" Katsuki said.

"Kacchan is not that bad!" Izuku added.

"This version you know, isn't. Others... Others are that bad and then SOME! Almost unsalvageable." Joy said.

"Well, I like this Kacchan! He is not beyond saving!"

"If you say so..."

At the same time - Jungle World – Forest patch -

"TRUFFLES! GIANT WHITE TRUFFLES AS FAR AS EYES CAN SEE!" an extremely excited squeal reverberated through the entire forest as a young Chef kept digging-up giant white truffles as big as watermelons by the dozens, and all of them of astounding quality.

Contrary to Katsuki's fears, Izuku was STILL the ever-excited, bubbly Nerd he remembered, only now his interest had moved from Heroes to Cooking thanks to his do-over as a Chef, and now that he was in another world and surrounded by Ingredients he had never seen before in both his Lives, he was mumbling nonstop about every Dish he could possibly make once back home.

One of the aspects that assured Izuku he was in another world was that the trees forming the forest were absolutely IMMENSE in size, and it was not just a hyperbole, every single one of them could easily be hollowed-out and turned into apartment complexes. The bright blue leaves most of them supported also helped.

"See~ Deku's still the same~" Ochako stated to Katsuki, pointing at the screen. "He's just stern with you in that universe."

"Sorry if I worry about my friend, woman!" Katsuki snapped, unknowingly letting something slip.

"..."

"I-I Mean-GUEEEH!"

"I KNEW YOU STILL THOUGHT THAT! I WAS RIGHT!" Izuku declared with a happy smile and a hydraulic-press hug that seriously damaged Katsuki's bones.

"Too... Tight... Too... Tight... Nerd... Mercy!" The poor guy begged with a faint voice. Izuku squeaked and let go and Katsuki took a big lung full of air. He then got in Izuku's face and roared at the top of his lungs. "DAMN IT YOU NERD! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME! YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE MORE POWERFUL NOW! THOSE DAMN HACKS OF YOURS ARE NOT FOR SHOW!"

"Don't be a wuss! You always say you can take everything the world throws at you! What's a hug from a friend?!"

"THAT WASN'T A HUG THAT WAS A DAMN ELEPHANT TRAP!!!" The theater was laughing at their antics. He then head locks Izuku and nuggies him.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER! I WON! YOU CALLED ME A FRIEND! ON YOUR OWN FREE WILL! I WON!" Izuku declared... Maybe with a wee-bit-too-deranged smile.

Katsuki's glare intensified, and nuggied him harder. "YOU HEARD NOTHING YOU DAMN NERD, AND I'LL MAKE YOU FORGET IT IF I HAVE TOO!!!" The others were trying to break them apart now.

"I heard about that Tsundere shit, but in real life it is just sad. Drop it, you fucker!" Zebra said while hosting Katsuki in the hair by the back of the neck like a cat.

"Nobody will think any less of you for that. Drop the issue, it's illogical." Aizawa added.

"You two stay out of this!" Katsuki roared, trying to break free of Zebra's grip.

"This is getting nowhere. Miss Inko, did you ever spank him when he was a kid?" Light asked.

"Uhm... A couple times, yes, when I was watching over him for Mitsuki." Inko answered.

"Can you do that again?"

"If I must."

Katsuki's eyes widened, and he broke free, running to the end of the theater. "No way! I'm not going through that again!!!"

"Damn... Midoriya's mom must be something if Bakugou is scared of her," Monoma stated.

"I'll say," Coco nodded, in agreement. "But let's talk about the world Izuku is in."

"Let's, but DAMN, those truffles are big," Toriko satted. Looking at the screen. "Think of the foods you can make with those"

"They really are of great quality too, one alone in our world would literally be priceless, as in impossible to give a price to!" Momo admitted, impressed.

"Yaomomo too can't afford that...Wow...Never thought I would have seen the day of that happening." Mina said, smirking.

"Har-Har-Har." Momo answered, rolling her eyes.

"It must be really good then if they are that much," Ochoko stated, pouting.

"Hey, Komatsu, what can you make from those?" Toriko asked his partner.

"That's a bit wide question, Toriko-san...Off the top of my head I can list over two thousands different recipes with Truffles only, if I add more Ingredients, then I can triple that number, if not more...Truffles, especially white, go well with just about everything if they are top quality." The short Chef answered.

"Well damn..." Mirio stated, looking impressed.

"Now I want some," both Fat Gum and Tamaki stated.

"Huh... I wonder if I can actually make those myself Shroom..." Kinoko pondered. "They are mushrooms after all..."

"... Damn your powers would be useful in our world," Sunni stated.

"And possibly ruin our economy, unless they get heavily regulated." Coco added, sighing.

"Well I would have to learn to make the high end stuff, and that would take a lot out of me," she answered.

"Just don't push yourself too hard, no gain is worth self-harm." The man answered, smiling gently.

She nodded. "I won't. I also have other mushrooms from the multiverse to look up as well."

Light leaned over to the other deities, whispering, "She must never know about the orcs that are from the 40k-vers..."

"We'll leave that as a punishment if they piss us off, Divine Pettiness is within our rights." Joy whispered back.

"I suggest not... Even the System shivers at those things..." the System stated, almost having a shiver in its voice.

"Your judgment doesn't count. You are a being of order, of course Chaos looks icky to you. You are a Chaosphobe." Gaia answered, shaking her head.

"No, they just don't make any sense at times, and The System is an Elder Being."

BANG!

Of course, just like in the Gourmet World of Zaus, every excellent Ingredient was never really alone, but surrounded by other animals mounting guard to it or using it as bait for their own prey, like the giant flock of four-eyed Boars each the size of a truck that had made their home in the same area where those truffles grew.

Luckily Whitey was more than eager to smash its big metal fists on the things' heads to knock them out so to leave Izuku free to collect truffles at his leisure in total safety.

"A male and a female are kept alive, while everyone else will be properly prepared and stored. Remember." Izuku asked the robot.

"Understood." Whitey answered, leaving two adult exemplars alive while giving the finishing blow to the other adults, the young ones instead were permitted to escape.

"UGLYYYYY!" Sanni shrieked in disgust.

"Those look like our Mount Boars, only bigger! Cool!" Komatsu instead couldn't look happier to see those animals.

"Those things look delicious!" Toriko shouted, drooling.

"I could go for a few dozen of those," Zebra agreed.

"I could probably eat a full one," Fat Gums agreed. "Two at most."

"Huh... I wonder if I can use those boars with my Quirk...?" Tamaki pondered. "Wonder what I would get...?"

"Big tusks! Lots of hair! Stubby legs! Four eyes! And-" Nejire started listing, excited.

"I got the picture, I got the picture!" He said, immediately stopping her before she could go on for hours.

"I don't know about the stubby legs, but the others could work," Izuku stated, pulling out his journal. "The tusk could be helpful, and for the fur, it could be armor, if the boar's thick skin and fur is any proof... Theeyescouldgiveyoumorerangetolookaround,and- mutter, mutter, mutter, mutter..." Izuku wrote down, muttering up a storm again.

"You know? That would be the right occasion to shut him up with a kiss," Mirio said, smirking.

Surprisingly, the actual dogpile needed two whole seconds before happening.

"I was saying that to Tamaki..."

"With this, I have collected enough Ingredients to cover the 1-Star and 2-Star level, plus extras to have some reserves that will last me until the breeding program back home is stable." the young Chef said, sighing, while moving to clean the dead boars: removing the skin, separating the meat in its various cuts and so on.

The System's mission was fairly straightforward: Collect Ingredients in great quantities, animals and plants, on a list separated in 'Levels' from 1 to 5, each level representing how difficult it was supposed to be for Izuku to capture/collect them.

And if they were animals, whenever possible he was also supposed to capture a male and female alive that will be put in the breeding area of his Restaurant 'Storage Room' he will be free to visit whenever he wants once returned from this particular trip into the jungle.

20 different 1-Star Ingredients

20 different 2-Stars Ingredients

10 different 3-Stars Ingredients

10 different 4-Stars Ingredients

5 different 5-Stars Ingredients

Momo blinked. "Wait... those truffles... are just a 1 or 2 star...?" she asked in disbelief.

"1 Star." The System said.

"B-But those are worth so much... I-If those are just a 1 star... what the heck is a 5 star...?" Momo asked, he mind seeming to malfunction.

"Very expensive and rare. Ludicrously so. Bankrupting a First World Country for a portion Expensive." Joy said, amused by her horror.

He was dope slapped by Light and Xara. "Stop that..."

"I am not wrong! Jewel Meat is sold for 5 Million Yen per 100 grams raw. (33,862.72 Dollars) And that Pale Boar is even rarer, and you know it, so stop acting high and mighty, I answered correctly." The Eye answered, annoyed.

"You don't have to be a Jerk about it though..." Gaia stated, bluntly.

"Can't always be the butt of the joke. It gets tiring after a while."

"You always seem to be it though," Mt. Lady shot back to the eye, cheekily.

"Well, it's no fun to be. I am not amused."

"It's good fun between friends, you should know it doesn't mean anything bad between us. As a professional to another, respect is a given. Just enjoy the ride." Light answered, patting the Eye on what could be passed as a back.

"Yes, you just need to go with the flow of things," Xara stated.

"I'll trust you on that."

"If things go too far, I'll intervene. Trust me." Light answered.

Luckily plants and animals were not counted separately, Izuku feared how long it would have taken him otherwise, but with how hyped he felt, he was not exactly as worried as he felt he was supposed to be.

"OOK! OOK! OOK!" all of a sudden a loud storm of angry howls echoed all around Izuku, and the source was a crowd of furious monkey-like beings with bright yellow fur and goat horns on their heads appearing from their hiding spot on the trees' foliage, they all glared downwards at the Chef with their purple eyes narrowed into slits while showing their drooling maws in a threatening manner, each fang of theirs was dagger-long and very sharp.

"That should be..." Izuku, unfazed, muttered while perusing the small booklet the System gave him and detailing the Ingredients he could ideally find in that world, all neatly separated by level and 'Deliciousness'.

"Ah-HA! Ram-Monkeys! A 3-Stars Ingredient with tough but delicious meat. That means they will be a good Ingredient for stewing, steaming and much more! And the higher Level is all just because they always attack in big packs!" Izuku said, amazed, while opening a small box he took from a pocket to recover a thin and long needle.

"Damn, another good looking meal," Toriko stated.

"They look like Nomus..." Aizawa admitted.

"I thought it looked more like a miniature Rajang from Monster Hunter." Xara admitted.

"They do have an uncanny resemblance. Only Human-sized." Kirishima admitted.

"The System might send that Host Izuku and Host Shirou there for ingredient hunting..." the System noted to themself. "The System has heard that a lot of the monsters are great."

"I know little of that universe, only slight knowledge, but I do like the cooked food there," Light stated. "You think they should have one of the cat people as helpers in the restaurants as well? They make good food and make it a show for people to enjoy."

"The System will take into consideration this suggestion," the System acknowledged.

"Oh, that would be so cute to see~!" Mina squealed, imagining one of them helping their Izuku.

"Uh... someone cares to explain to us what they're talking about?" Zebra asked, looking confused.

Just then, one of the said cats walked in, bringing him a giant plate of food. "Meeeow~? (A snack sir~?)" it asked him.

"Ah, yes. They only speak in meows." Joy said, laughing.

"He asked if you'd like a snack," Koda translated, understanding the cat.

"Thanks," Zebra thanked, taking the plate and tasting some of the food. "This is really good."

"He's so cute~" Eri stated, in awe.

"Meow~(Thank you both~)" they meowed at the two, leaving.

"Hey Komatsu, think they'd be a hit in your hotel restaurant?" Toriko asked his partner.

"Bit too much hair, but I believe a work-around can be found." Komatsu answered.

"MEOW! (I DON'T SHED!)" an angry meowling was heard from the direction the cat left.

"He said he doesn't shed," Koda translated again.

"OH! I was talking about gloves, and a hair-net on their head. Stuff like that!"

"Meow... (That's workable...)"

"He's fine with that, just be careful of your fazing next time," Koda tells him.

"Yes, they take food preparations seriously," Gaia stated.

"Understood, just need to be up to code is all."

CRACK! CRACK!

Knocking! The favorite hunting method of the people from Zaus world! Good for capturing Ingredients non-lethally by striking the nerves or pressure points that controlled the movement of living creatures with the use of specialized techniques or the use of biodegradable needles fired from various implements, known as Knocking Guns.

With that any beast could be transported alive at the hunter's leisure, however, the location of these nerves was different in every species, so a great amount of knowledge and experience was required to use Knocking techniques or Knocking Guns effectively.

"Hahahaha! That's right! Super complicated, extremely hard to learn and even more to Master, but once you get the hang of it? You can do whatever you want! And make your target do whatever you want! Ultimate freedom! That's why I love it!" Knocking Master said, laughing.

"I may have not been a Supreme Master like him, but I dare say that not many beside Him and Setsuno were better than me at that," Zeus said, chuckling.

"It has its uses, but I still prefer using it to collect Ingredients only, instead of a full fighting style." Setsuno added.

"To each their own I guess," Death Arms stated, shrugging.

"Everyone's methods of fighting are different," Kamui agreed.

As a possessor already of a 'Knocking Patent', Izuku had more than an inkling about how to use it on himself or other beings for an insane variety of Offensive, Defensive, Support and Healing effects: like he just did by stimulating the pressure points of both his own arms, and especially his fists, to make them grow exponentially in size until both arms turned giant and full of enormous bulging muscles.

"Let's capture them all!" he yelled in glee.

"Understood." Whitey answered, eyes flashing red.

The monkeys' eyes too turned blood-shot red out of rage, angry at the small fur-less thing not finding them scary at all.

"Oh, boo-ohh! Their Fee-Fees got hurt....Pansies." Zebra said, rolling his eyes.

"If they hurt now, wait till Whitey deals with them~" Mirko stated, smiling manicly.

"Huhuhu!"

"What are ya laughing at?!" Rumi asked the old man.

"You'll see. I know that look since it is identical to mine. I believe it's time for my Pupil to get into the action!" Zaus said, outrageously proud.

"Oh, this should be fun to watch," All Might stated, wanting to see this.

"Finally a way to measure the actual power of that version of you," Aizawa said, nailing their Izuku with a calculative look.

Yes, they were small compared to the boars, but they were many! And their heads were harder than rock while their claws and fangs were super sharp! Was it SO HARD to get some fear from their prey? They were monkeys with Ambitions! Not some food!

"OOOK!" With a very battle-cry-like roar, the Pack Leader initiated the assault himself, by showing that their ornate twisty horns weren't there just for show as the male used its strong legs to shoot forward like a bullet to headbutt the new Prey to death.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Each of the dozens of monkeys around the Leader as well jumped forward at high speed, soon covering the area in deep craters as the big Monkey-Bullets rained from the sky from every direction one after another.

"Feisty! I like it!" Izuku declared happily, having dodged the first salvo with a forward burst of speed that brought him right in the middle of the monkey group.

"Bodhi Pestle!" giving him the needed opening to nail the Second in Command of the Pack with a bone-shattering right-hook that cracked heavily the monkey's skull and sent it flying.

(Bodhi – From Buddhist Terminology: Enlightenment. So: Pestle of Enlightenment (Punch))

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!" The outrageous act apparently launched the Pack Leader, and every other monkey, in a blood-thirsty frenzy that resulted in all of them attacking both Chef and Robot at the same time. All forty-five of them.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" Izuku couldn't help but shriek as the horde rained on him.

"I think you miscalculated there, Nerd," Katsuki shot at Izuku.

"Very likely, but still feasible," Knocking Master said, thoughtful.

"The only issue I see is the chance of the monkeys hurting each-other in their haste to tear him apart, That would ruin the meat." Toriko added.

"Luckily he can't be attacked by more than six at a time, not enough space for more to jump him. IF he doesn't fall on his back, in that case they all will be able to take at least a bite each." Coco added.

"..."

"...YOU CAN'T SAY ALL THAT THAT CHILL!" Kaminari and Tenya screamed in chorus, horrified.

"Why not? This is a common occurrence."

"It's our friend! We would hate to see him get eaten alive!" Mina shrieked.

"He can do it, believe in him." Melk said.

"We do, but we can still worry about him," Tenya stated, chopping the air.

"You'll see! Now we will watch him wreck them and kick their butss! EZ!" Kirishima said.

"That I wanna see!" Kyoka added, smirking.

"All ready for the super fighting scene of awesome!" Nana said, smirking.

One hour later – USJ Building – Earthquake Emergency Area – With Katsuki -

"Oh come on!" they all shouted in anger.

"You can't just change it like that!" Kirishima shouted, pulling his hair in frustration.

"For once it was not me!" Joy said.

"Not me." System said.

"Me neither." Gaia added.

"Neither us...It just happened." Light and Xara said in chorus.

"God...Goshdarnit!" Katsuki barely censored himself in time, but the rage was still all there.

"Change of plans, I am happy the Nerd is not here!" the young man mentally hissed as he fought against a guy with patched leathery skin tossing blue fire at him.

"Come on, Hero! I want to see how good you are!" The Villain mocked him relentlessly from his hiding spot.

The so-called School Trip had gone to shit as soon as they just entered the damn place! The boss of the Building, Pro Hero Thirteen, was just giving her opening speech when a Portal opened and several Villains walked out, all swaggering and stuff.

"WO! WO! WO! Those two are there already!?" Mic yelled with wide eyes once seen Himiko and Dabi already in the USJ as members of the League.

"Timeline-slippage, remember. It's not just Miss Rumi's age to be different, other things too are." Joy said.

"Yeah, like those two joining early in the League," Light stated.

"And Baku-bro is facing them alone," Kirishima said. "That's not good."

"OI! YOU THINK I'M WEAK!?" no points to who shouted that.

"No, I'm saying you're facing two villains that know how to work together well and know how to outmover even you," he stated sternly.

"I hardly overshot, okay? I know my limits and my strength. Even I would be cautious!" He said.

"But that version of you, Kacchan? That You barely started studying at UA, that's his first real fight against Villains." Izuku said, worried.

"... Shit..." Katsuki's answer came as an extremely-low whisper, but even by looking the all could see how worried he was for his counterpart.

"We are the League of Villains." one of them, a guy with a body apparently made of blackish smoke, had declared once finished HIS speech about the entire class of AU plus teachers being perfect as a first act for their birth; and while Aizawa and Thirteen had been left behind to fight the Monster the Villains brought along, every other student had been neatly divided in groups and teleported by that Kurogiri into different sections of the Building where various other Villains guided by one of the guys that arrived with the Portal were already waiting for them.

He and a couple others were facing the Villain they called Dabi, and the young man's fire was strong enough to repel Katsuki's explosions long enough for him to dodge them, this in turn left enough of an opening to the other Villains to try blind-siding him right after.

"Run a bit more! I can see you can do better than this, kids!" Dabi would also mock them relentlessly from the sidelines at every given opportunity, another thing that angered the students facing him quite a lot.

Katsuki's right eye started to twitch in irritation.

"See it as a blessing. He is underestimating you all enough to toy with you instead of going for the kill, that will actually give them a chance to escape." Aizawa said.

"And that is sheer dumb luck! His Ego is literally helping you all." Nemuri added.

"But for how long?" Torino questioned in dread.

"I don't want to know," Katsuki stated.

With Momo – Fire Disaster Area -

"Can you see her?" Momo asked with a faint voice.

"Not at all," Ochako answered.

The two girls, along with Jiro and Hanta Sero, were at the moment trapped in the Fire-Themed area and put against a blond girl called Himiko that seemed able to melt into the few shadows in the room to disappear.

"Can you tell where she is hiding?" Hanta asked Jiro.

"Too much fire and other sound effects, I can't hear that psycho. But I can easily tell you where the other bastards are!" the girl answered.

"Toga can erase her presence almost completely, and she is doing that in as loud as Hell room, no wonder I can't track her." Kyoka said with a sneer.

"Although... The eyes of that version look too vacuous... Too cloudy..." Torino muttered, confused.

"Can't answer that. Sorry." Joy said.

"There is a lot going on with her, but at that moment, she is still a deadly enemy." Light said.

"Definitely, her agility is no joke." Ochako admitted.

"She will get a whole worse later on," Xara muttered.

They all were covered in shallow cuts as Himiko took clear pleasure in seeing them bleed, thus wishing to prolong the Fun as much as she could.

"It's still something!" the young man answered.

"How much tape can you still make?" Momo asked.

"Not much, and not enough to trap all of them. This fire is making me dry-up faster than normal, soon I won't be able to use my Quirk anymore." he answered.

"I am running low on body fat too, I will be forced to stick to small creations for now." Momo admitted.

"Then we'll need to first leave and regroup with the others." Ochako suggested, and got nods of approval from her friends.

"Things look bad. Too bad." Tsuyu said, croaking loudly.

"Worse than ours," Izuku stated, looking worried for his classmates on screen.

"We had to deal with nameless nobodies, only strong by virtue of numbers and we still pulled through by sheer luck. I am actually afraid to think about how things will play out there with some core members already there." Mezo said, hissing.

"Darkness deeper than we faced, that's for sure." Tokoyami said.

"Honestly, I have no idea how you got out of there alive the first time." Itsuka admitted, sighing.

"Shrooming madness." Kinoko muttered, wincing.

".. I take back everything I said about you guys being glory hogs," Monoma stated.

"We almost died, not a lot to brag about." Momo answered, deflating.

"Hihihihi! Why leave so soon? We are having so much fun!" Himiko's disembodied voice came from their side as the girl swiftly jumped out of their blind side to slash at them with a wicked-looking combat knife.

"JIRO!" Momo yelled while pushing the girl away and watching the blade open a deep cut on her shoulder as a result.

"MOMO!" the other yelled with wide eyes.

"Hihihi! See? See? It's so fuuuun!" Himiko, giggling deranged again, declared before melting into the shadows once more to disappear.

Toriko could tell something was up. "Hey, is there a reason why she turned out like this?"

"Why are you asking?" Katsuki asked. "She's just a damn villain, and shouldn't worry about their kind."

"And that's how most villains are made," Light said sternly.

"Huh?"

"We are the result of our Life Experiences, of the world around us, and our own and others' choices. Give them a run-down, Xara." Joy said.

"She only became like that due to her parents forcing her to suppress her Quirk, saying her Quirk was villanius and needed to act normal to keep their reputation up," Xara stated. "She snapped after seeing a boy she liked bleeding from the nose when she hit puberty."

"Hormones do influence, and are influenced by, Quirks often. Having her powers influence her into losing control just as her brain chemistry was changing as well is not an accident as rare as you may believe." Nezu said.

"Couldn't she get help?" Izuku asked. "Surely her parents could have-?"

"And ruin their perfect image of a normal household with their daughter seeing a psychologist?" Light put up. "They'd rather disown her than live with the 'shame' of a daughter ruining their spotless image."

Inko had a murderous arua around her. Her motherly rage burned from hearing what two parents did to their own daughter. Things were shaking, due to her Quirk being supercharged by her anger.

"Crap! She's gone to Phoenix Mode!" Xara shouted, seeing this in other worlds.

"Someone calm her down before she starts using telekinesis and pulling everyone and everything in!" Light ordered.

"Mom?" Izuku asked with his most innocent voice.

She looked at her son.

"Please don't kill our friends. I am sure her parents can be arrested for that, but hurting innocents is not the right thing to do."

"Why is he baby-talking?" Tetstutetsu whispered.

"Shut-up. It's working." Setsuna answered.

Inko took a deep breath, and calmed down. "I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me."

"Oh, no, I understand," Sunni stated, waving her off. "I, too, would have a few choice words with her 'parents' as well."

"I still want you all to help her when you can," Inko stated sternly to all of them.

"But she's killed multiple people before," Aizawa stated. "That would be adding and abiding."

"Put her on probation then..." she sternly stated, her mother's glare on full force.

"Legally speaking, if we can stretch the term a bit, a case can be made that she is not mentally sound, so... MAYBE, we can salvage something about her through lots of intense therapy, but we are already several years too late. And that means we are literally shooting in the dark in the hope of saving her." Nezu admitted.

"That Himiko there can be saved actually. Yours... a bit more difficult." Joy said.

"All Host Izuku and Komatsu need to do is be given the right ingredients," the System stated. "The System has all the ingredients they need to do so. They just need to prepare it correctly."

"It's not a matter of Health, but of the number of laws broken and people killed too. No Ingredient can fix that." Nezu answered.

"Quirk Suppressed Insanity. There are some recorded cases of it that had been used to-to give some people therapy instead of throwing them directly in prison." Izuku stated. "That might work."

"We'll get to that bridge when we get to it," Aizawa stated, sighing.

"Here! This should hold for now!" Hanta said immediately, and added a long stripe of tape created by his Quirk to the clean piece of fabric the girl created with hers to patch her arm enough to stop the bleeding.

"Thank you. We need to hurry and regroup with the others before that girl kills us a piece at a time," Momo answered with a grateful tone and labored breath.

She and everybody else though were unaware that Something was keeping tabs on what was happening, and that close-call between Momo and Himiko raised several serious Red Flags for the Entity watching.

"Your red flags always spell disaster. Now I am worried." Gaia admitted, looking at the System.

"It means the System's intervention is needed to keep the Host working at top percentage to be the God of Cooking," the System stated.

"Why do I feel you're going to do something over the top..." Zebra stated, flatly.

"Host's safety is paramount. No countermeasure is excessive." The System stated sternly.

"With moderation, please..." Light begged, almost facepalming.

"The System makes no promises," the robotic voice of the entity seemed even colder than usual.

"Note to self... Don't mess with the Elder Gods of Cooking..." Mt. Lady stated, sweating in fear.

"They work on a Threat Level mentality. Too bad they then multiply by one hundred when retaliating. Just be a good kid and it will ignore you," Joy answered, shrugging.

"... Your way of comforting someone is lacking..." Sunni stated flatly to the eye.

"There isn't much comforting to do when dealing with Eldritch Beings" The Eye answered.

"Crisis detected! Likelihood that the girl's death will hinder the Host's Ascension to God of Cooking: 67%. Preparing countermeasures!"

As soon as the System determined the state of Emergency, the plump dog sleeping in front of the closed Green Cloud Restaurant opened its sleepy eyes and frowned immediately.

"So a weakling is putting this Lord Dog's source of Spicy Beef Noodles at risk? Certain Sins deserve Divine Punishment! Woof!" the dog declared with a magnetic, baritone voice full of merciless annoyance.

"You sent the Dog... In the name of Light and Darkness, you really don't know a thing about moderation!" Light said, facepalming so hard the resulting 'Clap!' echoed in the entire room.

"Even I see that as overkill..." Gaia stated, looking flatley at the rainbow ball of light. "And I send out Primate Murder to deal with problems that truely annoy me..."

"Extreme situations, call for extreme answers."

"... I don't know whether I like your way of thinking... or find it annoying..." Zebra stated, flatly.

"You will see..."

"I don't like the way they said that..." Midnight stated.

With Izuku – Jungle World – Night -

The young Chef was at the moment bent over a stone basin having an improvised cooking showdown with the so-called Chef of a semi-primitive tribe of lizardmen he had met while Ingredient hunting, it was either accepting the Challenge or be eaten alive, not much of a choice on the matter.

The System had told him that due to different Time Flow, the ten or so hours he had spent in that Jungle World roughly translated into a single hour in his original world, thus explaining why the Entity told him to not worry about people noticing his absence, if things went properly, he would actually be able to open his Restaurant in time for the lunch rush-hour...IF those lizardmen actually stopped bothering him.

"What is he cooking?" Toriko asked immediately.

"Hopefully something that will stop them from eating him." Ochako answered, grabbing the hand of their Izuku for comfort.

"I'm sure it'll be fine," Izuku said, smiling at her in comfort.

"I'm sure he'll be fine," Toriko stated. "He does have Zaus' knowledge backing him up, as well as his training as well."

"I just hope that a tribe that primitive-looking won't eat him all the same to wash away the shame of losing to an outsider." Nezu said.

"..."

"Just saying." The Rat added once seen the horrified look on everybody's face.

He only had fourteen hours left in his Time Limit and he still had to collect enough 4-Stars and 5-Stars Ingredients to complete his Mission, even if thanks to this Challenge he was forced to take part to mean he could pilfer a couple 4-stars ones when nobody watched.

"5-Stars mean either very rare or very dangerous Ingredients. Where do I look for them?" Izuku thought while adding the fillets of fish to the soup he was making once done removing their very tough, purple-colored skin and scales to show the milk-white tender flesh under it. ('Coral Fish', a 4-Stars Ingredient.)

"You want to meet the God of mountains? You must cook good offering then!" the bulkiest, tallest and meanest lizard man of them all, the Leader, explained while studying the big pot the young Chef was working with.

"But if you lose, we eat you." a near guard added while licking his lips with a long purple tongue.

"I know...I know..." the young man answered with an annoyed sigh.

"They look even too eager to eat him." Mic muttered.

"Sssh! Mic. Don't make me think about that..." Nemuri asked, shivering.

"I agree. I do not wish to think about one of my students being eaten alive," Aizawa stated, glaring at Mic.

Zaus laughed. "They'll have to get the boy first, that's if he loses."

"True, he can just have Whitey or The System to deal wiyth them," Tamaki added.

"Whitey will, if things go south." Aizawa answered,

"Correct." System answered.

Leaving the soup to simmer under a low flame, the Young Chef focused on the second dish he planned for: a giant steak made with the meat of an enormous crocodile-like creature with a scorpion tail the System, in all its unoriginal cringe, named scorpio-dile (4-Stars), a name that made Izuku's skin crawl every time he thought about it.

"Naming things is hard, Host Izuku." the System said once again.

"So you admit that you're bad at choosing names," Zaus stated, smirking at the ball.

"Ah-ha! You admitted it!" Mina added, smirking amused.

"... The System will neither confirm or deny this statement..." the System stated.

"Oh, I can understand the difficulty, I am required to give fancy names to the dishes I make for Hotel Gourmet where I work, and it is extremely difficult to come-up with one every time." Komatsu admitted, sighing.

"Same for my knife. A name has to inspire strength, quality and a lot of other things, it's no easy task." Melk added.

"We have entire classes for that, to be fair, as unfortunately a Hero has to be at least a bit memorable, so the attack names have to sound good, both to inspire hope and...And I hate to say this... To help the Hero's Image." Aizawa admitted, sighing at his admission.

"So you admit that some flash is needed~" Mic teased his friend.

Aizawa glared at him, his Quirk activated. "Shut it, before I shut your mouth for you..."

"Shutting up..."

"Hey now, it's okay to admit that you're wrong," Nana stated.

"True," Zaus agreed. "It shows you're human."

Aizawa grumbled.

Deciding the Ingredient was good enough by itself to not require much extra work to make it tasty, he just worked the tender meat hidden under the bullet-proof skin of the thing into a mouth-watering medium-rare steak releasing thin strands of oily juices whenever he moved it on the flat and thin rock he was cooking it on.

"You would need a 50-caliber rifle to puncture the skin, and yet the meat under it is so amazingly soft and tender..." the young Chef muttered impressed.

A couple of living specimens of the various Ingredients he found in the tribe's cages and nearby river had also been 'borrowed' by Izuku before the challenge even started, and he still played dumb whenever the daughter of the Tribe Leader asked him over and over if he saw her two crocodile 'pets' anywhere once she discovered their disappearance.

Everybody loved the smell of what was cooking but then they gave Izuku a flat look.

Izuku shrank in on himself. "To be far... I wouldn't have known..."

"You could have asked the System first then looked for ones that weren't pets..." Momo stated, in a stern voice.

"Don't be harsh on him. It's that version of him that did it." Nana answered, chuckling.

"Yeah, besides, those don't look like the normal pets someone would have, it's fair to think they were animals for cooking," Banjo stated, agreeing with Nana.

"Still, he needs to ask first before doing something like that," Ochako said, pouting angrily at Izuku.

"Okay, I'll ask The System what animals are pets, and where wild ones are," Izuku said, holding his hands up in surrender.

"You all are being annoyingly petulant just for two crocodiles with scorpion tails that can dissolve the victim organs for them to eat easily, while they are alive. The System recognizes you are Heroes, but walking with that big stick up your backside is still annoying for everybody else, please drop this Holy attitude, it is unrequested, unappealing and annoying. Especially against THIS Izuku that has done nothing." The System answered, sternly.

"... Would be a sick ass pet though..." Jirou stated, thinking of awesome metal and rock album covers that could be made from their looks. "Just need a manticore to go with it..."

"Not saying you're wrong, System, but please be nicer, they are amazing pets, and guard animals," Gaia stated, wanting some herself as pets.

"Then they need to stop trying to crucify somebody that did nothing in this Universe just because their counterpart in another universe did something wrong. Otherwise The System will feel inclined to share the LONG list of Sins each and every counterpart of theirs did. A long list of Disgusting Sins, the System wishes to add, worse than unknowingly capturing deadly pets for food."

This shut the girls up.

Rorororororo!

Several stomachs whined in agony as the guards too close to Izuku went continuously bombarded by the thick waves of aroma coming from the young Chef's Soup and Steak.

"This is torture, Chief! We want some!" one of the guards said with a whining tone.

"No! Offering for the God of Mountain can't be eaten by others!" the Leader answered with a barking growl.

"The God of the Mountain. I hope my hunch is right and the King Python I am hunting for my bonus is the same creature!" Izuku thought while turning the steak on the stone and releasing a new dense cloud of aromatic steam that further tortured the guards making sure he wouldn't try to escape until finished the Challenge.

"A Big Snake?" Sunni asked.

"Won't tell, you know... Spoilers..." Light answered.

"And that means a-" his mouth was covered by Zebra.

"Shut that loud mouth of yours, some of us want to actually see what it is," he ordered the flamboyant man.

Sunni huffed, smacked Zebra's hand away, and looked away. "I like to have all the information, thank you very much..."

"Thank you," Light thanked the King.

Zebra just waved him off.

"Stranger can't win! Father made offerings for God of Mountain, Grandfather made offerings for God of Mountain and I made offerings for God of Mountain!" the lizardman 'Chef' Izuku was fighting with declared while still glaring at the young man.

"You did not remove the fish' skin or innards when boiling it, nor removed the surface fat from the crocodile meat, nor cleaned the stomach before roasting the whole thing on the fire, both will taste too bitter." Izuku answered, finally tired of the thing's jabs at his cooking abilities.

"Stomach and innards stay! That's where the taste is!"

"That's where both animals' feces are!" Izuku snapped back.

"Fe-what?"

"Sorry, mom...Their SHIT, you moron! IF you want to use the innards, you clean them first!"

There was a collective facepalm by all the people who knew how to cook.

"I'll forgive you this time, Alternate Icchan... That guy is dumber than a sack of bricks." Inko muttered in dismay.

"Why is this guy their cook...?" Toriko asked, flatly.

"Family duty, perhaps? He did say his grandpa and father did it before him," Kirishima answered, shrugging.

"I hope they were better than this idiot..." Zerba stated, flatly.

"It's not hard to be better than THAT!" Fat Gum said, laughing loudly.

"Hopefully." Sir Nighteye added.

"Mom was a better cook than him... She actually took time to prepare things properly," Momo said, dryly.

"Cleaning? Why? Who says shit does not taste good?" the Lizardman Chef asked back, annoyed.

"...Pretty much everybody, apparently." Izuku hissed back in answer while pointing at the Tribe Leader and everybody else faces turning even greener than what they already were.

"Chief?"

"I don't know if you use that to cook. Please do not use it any more." the tall Lizardman half-begged while gagging.

"I knew the food tasted strange when he made it! I was right!" one of the guards was heard muttering right after.

Everyone turned green after hearing that.

"Guess they didn't know he did that..." Melk stated, trying to hold down her lunch.

"For the love of good food, keep that guy away from the kitchen." Zaus begged, mor like ordered.

"Urk! I don't need that image in my head! That guy is a criminal." Setsuno added, looking disgusting beyond belief.

"Oh Lord above, I think I'm going to be sick..." Ibara said, looking sickly.

"I'd say give him lessons on cooking... but he seems too damn prideful to learn... And that's coming from ME...!" Monoma said, almost throwing up.

"If MONOMA says you're bad, then you know it's bad..." Itsuka states, wanting to wash her mouth out from imagining what that guy made.

"You others know nothing of good food." the Lizardman chef replied, huffing haughtily.

"Neither do you." one of the Elders countered.

"YOUR MOTHER IS A EGG-BREAKER!"

"HOY! YOU WASH TONGUE WHEN TALKING ABOUT MY MOTHER!" the Elder shrieked back.

"ENOUGH!" The Leader of the Tribe gave a loud roar that immediately silenced the argument, before looking at both Chef's dishes.

"Your food is ready?"

"Yes," both said.

"Good. Bring them to God's Voice, she will tell who is the winner."

"Geez, going at the dude's mom, so humanly..." Kirashima stated, looking unhappy.

"True that," Tetsutestu agreed.

"Egg breaker... For a bird or lizard-based being, that must be the worst insult." Tokoyami said, taking in an hissing breath.

"I think it is," Shihai agreed with him.

"Going for the mothers is a loser's tactic. They are saints." Kautsuki muttered, grumbling.

"Yeah!" Izuku added.

"I wonder who is this Voice of God, actually. A Priest?" Nezu asked.

"Or a seer," Night Eye added.

"Or both," En added.

"Hopefully somebody important enough to sway those people away from eating that Izuku." Coco added, thoughtful.

The 'God's Voice' was an extremely old-looking female Lizardwoman with gray-green scaled skin and only one eye working, the other was dull and devoid of life, she walked while leaning on a tall wooden stick and smelled of burnt herbs.

"This is offering for the God of Mountains?" the old lizard asked with a whisper of voice.

"Yes, Voice of God. Stranger wants to meet the God of Mountain, so he must prepare a better offering than Tribe Chef."

"Then the Voice of God will judge." the old female answered while nearing Izuku.

"..."

"...Your future is Mist to me. How so?" She said once studied him for several minutes.

"I don't know, Voice." the young Chef answered, unsure.

"I think that's the System interfering," All Might states.

"Host Izuku's path is ever changing. And he asked for anonimacy, so the Deal with the System is kept a secret from prying eyes." the System stated.

Night Eyes groans. "Don't I know it... And knowing my counterpart... He's going to try and get answers... No matter what it might take..."

"You always were a wee bit too stubborn and paranoid, my friend." Toshinori answered with a beaming smile and a one-arm-hug to his old friend and partner.

"Might need to take a break and relax from work," David suggested. "Could do you good, but I can tell you're as stubborn as he is." He points his thumb at Toshi.

"I'm not that bad..." Toshinori muttered.

Just then, Izuku's dishes appeared in front of everyone.

"Alright~! Chow time~!" Toriko and Fat Gum cheered.

"Great Power helps you, scary Great Power. This is your offering?"

"Yes. Soup made with the fishes of your grand river and steak made with crocodile meat."

(Crocodile Steak)

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.eatsmarter.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fstyles%2Ffacebook%2Fpublic%2Fcabbage-and-fish-soup-534456.jpg&f=1&nofb=1

(Fish Soup)

"Please, let this weak one taste for you, your offering, Great God of Mountain..." the old lizard said before taking a sip of the soup and a tiny bite of the steak.

"..." and the thing's only working eye widened slightly at the taste of both.

As Izuku expected, the fish soup he made with those five different fishes offered a delicate taste, further enriched by the various spices he added to the stock to create a slightly-dense soup bringing forth the full flavor of the fishes and perfectly framing their tender and flavorful meat, but without the unpleasant smell usually accompanying fish meat in general.

The steak was soft and fragrant instead, with a strong meaty aroma that filled the mouth and tickled the nose at each bite while bouncing between the teeth and caressing the palate whenever one chewed.

Everyone tried it as well, and loved it.

"This is awesome~!" Denki stated, eating his with gusto.

"SO this is crocodile meat! Hell yeah! We need to find a restaurant back home that offers it!" Tetsutetsu said, smirking.

"A-hem!" Tsuyu said while pointing at Izuku.

"I mean... I guess?"

"Awesome!" Tetsutetsu answered, even happier.

"Gator meat is more common in the states," Pony stated, eating hers. "We can head there to get some. Gator jerky is good~!"

"..." Lunch Rush just looked at Nezu in silence.

"... FIIIINE! I'll see if I can fit it in our budget," Nezu answered with a long and LOUD sigh of defeat.

Lunch Rush pumped a fist.

"Shouta, just admit you like it, I can see you forcing down that smile." Nemuri said, chuckling.

"... I like it, but I still prefer my juice packets... If they can make me those, I'll admit it sincerely," he stated.

"You and those goddamn juice packets." Mic muttered with a groan.

"I'm sure I can make something in a thermos/drink holder to take on missions..." Izuku muttered, thinking over what he could make.

"I'll let you see to that..." Aizawa said, waving the problem child off.

"The Stranger wins."

"YOU DID NOT TRY MY OFFERING!" the Lizardman chef yelled in outrage.

"You always prepare the same food, day after day after day. Offering is just the same every time too. No need to try it." the old lizard answered, waving him off, before calling the Chief closer to her to whisper in his ears.

"Yes?" he asked.

"Kick moron to big wolves and keep the Stranger. Good food is a blessing." she said.

"You sure?"

"Best food ever eaten. Your daughter is also raping the Stranger with her eyes since he arrived, if we lucky he is also virile enough to give her many eggs other than good at cooking for tribe. I want to be a great-grandmother soon." she answered.

"E-E-E-EGGS?! I am too young to be a grandfather!" the Tribe Leader shrieked in horror.

Izuku and a lot of the watchers did a spittank after hearing what was said.

Gaia laughs loudly at that. "Harem Protagonist EX skill at its finest. And he has it innately! Hahahahaha! And his is Bisexual as well~!"

"... Do we need to make a meeting about girls and/or guys from other universes joining...?" Ochako asked Momo. "Not saying I mind."

"Who knows? BWahahaha! I am not telling!" Joy answered, amused to no end.

Izuku was red as a tomato, steam coming off his head.

"If they do have lizard traits, keep them out of small cities," Mezo warned. "Some are still backwards. I should know."

Light sighs. "Another one of All for One's chest moves... He wants to make sure everything is in his favor, and that means having people hate for his benefit, and using that hate and twisting it... He plans on making Spinner into another Machia as well..." (A/N 3)

"To be fair..." Izuku said, shocking the others with how cold he was sounding.

"Let's be honest. Unless the Mutation is Pleasing to the eyes, ergo "Horny!", most people look away in disgust. Quirks made kinks reality with Bunny Girls, Cat Girls, Lizard Girls and much more! ... Unless the girl or boy is too much animal-like, then it becomes Icky... Look at how Rumi is treated, or how Tsuyu is treated whenever they see her tongue! All for One must have had no problem exacerbating that issue." He said, sighing.

"... When I thought I couldn't hate this All For One more..." Zebra stated, nearly breaking his armrest.

"I'm starting to see why you warned us about not letting him get his hands on those cells," Setsuno stated. "I fear what a man like him would do with such a thing."

"Steal powers that aren't Quirks..." Izuku thought out loud. "If the cells do enhance people, it's not far off to say it can enhance a person's Quirk as well... They are a part of the body... Now add All For One's original Quirk with the cells..." he was now muttering, writing down ideas and plans incase that were to ever happen.

"Full DNA Theft, just the power-up that fool needs. This is final: those Gourmet Cells MUST NOT get in his hands." Nezu ordered, with a tone of finality.

Yuga was shaking. He knew he had to inform All For One or his parents were dead... but the thought of him getting that power... it scared him. "I need help...!" Yuga shouted, hyperventilating from both fear and worry.

"Whoa, easy there kid," Coco said, rubbing his back. "What's wrong, why are you so scared?"

"I need help! I need help! Please... I-I-I need help...Please...Please..." Yuga pleaded, now crying.

"God, that's a full-blown panic attack!" Vlad said.

"I-I can't take it! I can't take it anymore..." he was now hugging himself, panic and worry in his eyes, but not for himself.

Aizawa went to his student, holding his shoulders. "Yuga, tell me what's wrong."

"I-I can't... If I do... My parents will be..."

"Oh, it's happening." Joy whispered.

"Shh, let him, he needs this just as they need it." Light whispered back.

"I won't spoil it, I am just surprised he is already admitting it."

"Oh, yes, I too admit it is surprising." Gaia agreed.

"You can't tell me that the idea of All For One being able to take powers like ours with ease doesn't scare you as well," Xara whispered.

"Because he can't. Me and Light are too far removed from his world. I am pretty much a Living Concept, while Light is an Angel and Realm Crafter, he can barely understand our existence on a mere superficial level, stealing our powers? That is way beyond his feeble Mortal mental capabilities."

"Lucky you..." the Nobody stated, flatly.

"Yuga, what are you talking about?" Izuku asked.

"N-No I-I can't..." Yuga said, holding his head.

"Uhmmm..." Toriko said, before walking up to him and kneeling down to meet his eyes. "Is it a big secret?" He asked.

"Y-Y-Yes..."

"A scary one?"

"Ye...Yes..."

"You fear that if he knows you told us he will hurt your family?"

"...Yes." Yuga answered, shocked he figured it out.

"Uhm. Does he have a way to tell you talked?" He asked.

"... I think so... I'm not sure though..."

"Can you tell me how that works? Coco is very smart and can figure things out easily, and your Teachers too are! Nezu-san as well. And this not considering Toshinori and those other Ghost Heroes all have faced him directly, they know him... Let us help you and your family. We don't want to defeat All for One, we want to help you." Toriko asked with a gentle smile.

Of all the Heavenly Kings, he indeed was the one with the greatest gift in inspiring hope and trust in others.

Yuga took a shaky breath. "I-If I can tell without him knowing..."

"You can," Light stated. "This place is separated far from your reality, that his powers shouldn't. And we can have it so he gets altered memories of this place if he did do something like that."

"It's time, Yuga. A weight like that is not something shoulders young like yours are supposed to bear." Joy said, voice gentle.

Yuga sighs in relief. "I-I'm the spy... Not by choice... I was born Quirkless, and he told my parents he could give me my Quirk... but it was at a price... He threatened to kill my parents if I didn't do what he told me too... And he said he has insurance that he can tell where things are by seeing through me at times, when he gave me my Quirk..." He looked down at the ground, not wanting to look at anyone. "T-The thought of him getting his hands on those cells... it scared me farther than anything to date... I understand if you all hate me for-"

"How does he look through you?" Nezu and Izuku asked at the same time.

"... Eh?"

"Is it electromagnetic waves? Thought Sharing? Mind reading? Puppetry?" Coco added.

"Sound waves?" Zebra asked.

"Should check the Quirk registry for Quirks able to do that, chances are he stole it/them." Nana said, making Toshinori nod.

"Don't you... Hate me?" Yuga asked, looking lost.

"You are a victim, fucker. You don't hate the Victim, you hate the Bastard that hurts the Victim." Katsui said.

"Yeah, you were in a horrible position," Kirashima added. "You were a hostage, just as much as your family."

"Indeed, we do not blame you for what you had to do to save your family," Iida agreed.

"Would also explain how you have a lot more trouble with your Quirk, like I did. I guess implanted Quirks are likely to hurt the User since they are not natural to the body, but added to it." Izuku muttered.

Yuga had tears again. "T-Thank you..." He then got determined. "I-I wasn't sure of being a hero... but I might be one that helps people like me."

"That is a good thing, very beautiful." Sanni said, grabbing Yuga's shoulder to give it a gentle squeeze.

"As for your earlier question... I felt something in my head when I got my Quirk as well. If I had to guess, it's like a command control that works like what he does to Nomu. He might be able to control me if I were weaker minded."

"Should we remove it?" Komatsu asked.

"Inadvisable." Nezu said. "That will certainly trigger a warning for All for One and he will kill his parents."

"And a spy can be useful to the spied too." Izuku added. "If they can modify his memories to hide his revealing this to us, we can then feed him false info and have the Villains move the way WE want... I-I-If you are okay with this, Yuga-san..." He then said, more shyly.

Yuga smiled. "A double agent... Would be nice for that monster to be on the receiving end of being the one manipulated. ... Sorry, don't mean to sould vindicate there..."

Zebra waved him off. "No need to apologize, the man deserves it."

Eri walked up to Yuga and hugged him.

"Be vindictive. I believe you have earned the right." Aizawa answered, sighing.

"I can help you there~" Nezu said, smiling, a glint in his eye. "I know what it's like to be a test subject."

"I think he's pissed that one of his students was manipulated..." Tina whispered to Mt. Lady.

"Gee... I couldn't tell..." Mt. Lady whispered back, sarcastically.

"Don't be like that, I know you, you want to stomp All for One extra hard now." Nemuri said, chuckling.

"Not going to deny that."

After Yuga finally calmed down, he thanked everyone. "Thank you all for not giving up on me, and I promise to help where I can. And for all I did."

"No need to worry about it, you're already making up for it," Yosetsu statd. "And hey, the attack did help in finding one of All for One's Nomu bases. Momo and I were able to put the tracker on that one Nomu."

"And as an extra, he thinks I lost my Quirk in that fight. When the time comes, I will be right beside you all fighting. Let's see him get up from our combined power!" Toshinori said, smiling and yet determined.

Yuga smiled at all the support. "Thank you..." He then went back to being his drama queen self. "Now, we should get back to the show, oui?"

Katsuki smirked. "There's the flashy bastard~"

"Missed him?" Kirishima asked, smirking.

"Yes and no, but who am I to piss on somebody's parade? Hahahaha!" Katsuki laughed. "He's also got my respect for hanging in this long to help his family. I respect him for protecting the most important thing out there."

"Wow~ Respect from you~?" Monoma teased. "That's a first, if not rare~"

"... I know you are joking... But it still hurts... I can give people my respect!"

"Suuuuuure!" Everybody else answered.

"I can!" Katsuki shouted with a childish whine/anger.

This made everyone laugh, making Katsuki grumble to himself. They then went back to watching the screen

WHAM!

In answer the old lizard whacked him on the head with her wooden staff.

"I say keep him."

"But...Moooom!" the Chief said with a long whine, and getting a second whack on his head from the old lizard.

"Eeeh, I know your pain... As a fellow mother, I too can hear the clock tickling..." Inko said in dismay.

Izuku nearly faceplanted upon hearing that.

"Don't worry Ms. Midoriya he's got plenty of girls to spoil, and give you grand kids later on~" Mina teased. "You do have Eri though and Kota as well~"

"MINA!" Izuku shouted, turning atomic neon red.

"Yes, but the more, the merrier!" Inko said, whining, even while hugging Eri and Kota super hard.

"Well Izuku might charm girls from other universes as well that might come to ours," Momo added-in on the teasing. "Just need to have portal to those worlds so they can visit~"

"Please no!" Izuku begged in fear.

"As if you would actually mind, you Sin-namon roll." Ibara said, tutting.

"... Your Sin-namon roll?" he tried saying.

"Oh yes, all mine." She answered.

"You are an extremely spicy cinnamon roll, due to all the cinnamon~" Ochako stated.

"Pot meet Kettle," Jiro stated, pointing her ear jack at her. Ochako pouted, cutely.

"I am old and want great-grandbabies, and she clearly wants to have his eggs too, she still looks at him in need when he doesn't see her. Keep him in here. We need good food and new eggs to grow a strong tribe."

"Okay, mom..." the Chief relented with a defeated tone.

"Uh? What's happening?" Izuku asked, unaware of his innate talent of attracting hot things working even in other worlds.

"You have no need to worry, Stranger. Say, ever thought about starting a family? Big family?" the Old Lizard Woman answered while she, the Chief and his daughter, Izuku and the Tribe chef and the other lizardmen walked into an ordinary procession towards a big gate made of bones residing in the back of the small village right on the edge of a tall cliff.

"AGAIN WITH THAT RUMOR! I HAVE NOT SUCH POWER!" Izuku screeched.

"AH-HEM!" Mineta, face twisted in pure envy, waved his hands at all the girls from their universe.

"That's just a coincidence." He answered, defiant.

"Oh you sweet summer child~" Gaia said, smiling.

"He is very delusional..." Joy muttered, impressed.

"Her has low self esteem, he's better at it, but he still has to work on it more," Light stated

"... I'm not that much of a charmer... Am I...?" Izuku asked, now worried, but curious.

"Put it like that: you do have a nice smile and are pretty... But would that alone be enough to get in the sight of all of us?" Tooru asked, poking his cheek playfully with a finger.

"It also helps that you're a kind person as well," Ochako stated. "Willing to help anyone you can~"

Izuku looked like he needed time to think this over.

"A couple of times." Izuku answered, unnerved by the strange question and relaxing only when he saw Whitey walk right behind him to shield him from the strange looks the Chief's daughter kept leveling at him from time to time.

She was 'Pretty' in a certain way, and the fact that she dressed in just a tiny loincloth and stripe-bra showed-off the very generous curves Mother Nature bestowed on her, especially the chest with both mounds of her breast being slightly bigger than her head, and her very tall and well-trained physique too was objectively nice...But she just could not capture Izuku's interest, and for some reason he missed, he kept comparing that Lizardwoman to Momo and found her lacking every time when compared to the young Hero Student.

Momo giggled at this. "Good to know you're loyal."

"I have good taste too! ... I mean..." He said, before noticing.

"Yes, you have." Momo answered, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"She is cute, like my old friend, ribbit," Tsu stated, doing her thinking pose. "Almost reminds me a lot of her as well."

"To be fair, she would be able to mingle between us and pass it as a Mutation Quirk, I saw even worse examples of Lizard Humans Quirked. She is still very human looking." Nezu added.

"Not the strangest thing I've seen. Nitro are bird people and some were very good friends of ours" Toriko stated, shrugging. "I judge people on their actions, not on their looks."

"Good to hear that," Death Arms stated, fistbumping the King.

"So, as you can see, if your Harem becomes Inter-dimensional there won't be problems, YAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nezu said with a mad laugh.

"... Hurray..." Izuku answered with less than zero enthusiasm. All his lovers giggled or laughed at this.

Finally the long procession reached the bone gate, next to that the river protecting the back of the settlement was noisily throwing itself down the cliff into a giant waterfall saturating the air in a thin mist of water particles and filling the small lake of the valley below.

"Put the offering on stone, the God of Mountain will accept your offering and give you the Answer you seek." the Old Lizardwoman explained while pointing with her wooden staff at a crudely-made altar made of rock.

"Okay." Patting the belly of the robot following him, Izuku carefully put the pot of soup and giant steak on the stone and took a step back.

"God of Mountain! We have an offering of Stranger for you! Help Strangers find Answers with your Wisdom, we beg you!" the old Lizard prayed with a loud voice.

"Wisdom?" Kyoka asked, snorting.

"Primitive Tribe, put that in perspective." Ryukyu answered, chuckling.

"Not to say all animals are dumb," Toriko shot back. "I've met some extremely intelligent ones."

"Yes, but I am not sure animals there are as smart as yours. Those boars and crocodiles weren't, so..."

BAROOOOOOOOOOOO!

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F5a%2F62%2F47%2F5a6247b1fb3e28b1021ea0238e734bc7.jpg&f=1&nofb=1

Right after that, the Tribe Chief unclasped a big horn from his belt and blew through it, releasing a deafening low tune that echoed on the valley under them.

When the last echoes of the horn died-down, the ground under the group started shaking violently and an enormous shape surfaced from behind the waterfall to climb the mountain upward and meet them.

"...Is that the King Python?" Izuku mentally asked with eyebrows rising up to his hairline.

"Correct, Host! That is the Special Ingredient you need to collect for your Bonus. This Thousand-years-old specimen will be especially tasty once prepared thanks to the extremely sedentary life it has lived in the resources-rich territory around you. Please capture it either alive or dead, dear Host!" the System answered.

"...Easier to say than done." the Young Chef admitted with a low voice.

"Uhmmm. I think I could use Knocking on that." Zaus said with narrowed eyes.

"Oh, I certainly can!" Knocking Master replied, snorting.

"Tch! One Voice Missile and I can kill that fucker."

"Why kill it? My Poison Dressing can knock it out." Coco answered.

"Hn! Just a single hair of mine would be enough!" Sanni countered.

"One... Two... Yeah, a 3 Ren Punch would be enough." Toriko muttered.

"... You people are insane. That thing can swallow ME whole easily, and you want to punch it?" Mt. Lady asked, surprised.

"I wonder if I could kick it hard enough to bash its brains in..." Mirko asked herself.

"I'd use my Quirk to put it to sleep," Midnight stated.

"A good scream too and he would go down," Mic added, smirking.

"... I might use my scarf to ride it and try it out," Aizawa said.

"Can you talk it into being not a menace?" Tooru asked.

"M-Maybe?" Koda answered, unsure. "I-I've never used my Quirk on something that huge before."

"Not sure if my brain washing would work on it..." Hitoshi muttered.

"A Good shock!" Kaminari said, excited.

"Double punch?" Tetsutetsu asked.

"Hell yeah! Double punch!" Kirishima answered.

"Texas Smash?" Izuku asked.

"Yeeep!" Toshinori answered, smiling wide and proud, with a thumbs up.

"Not sure if my Hair Balls would hold something like that... or break the ground or snake skales off if it struggled enough..." Minoru pondered something useful.

"..."

"What? Might happen!"

"We're not saying your wrong, it's just a rare thing when you say something that isn't sexual, and is useful," Mina stated.

"... Somehow that hurts more than being called a pervert..." He admitted with tear-stained eyes, a depressed cloud over him.

"If you are done with the Dick Measuring contest, I say we return to the show." Nezu said, smirking.

Many faces blushed hard at that, the kid's ears covered by an annoyed Izuku and Mirio, all going back to watching the video.

The King Python was a monstrous giant snake with lustrous black scales and a stubby red horn on top of its head, it was a towering beast big enough to easily swallow an entire subway train whole with lots of space to spare in its maw and gut.

"God of Mountains is here. Present him your offering and ask your question after he eats the food." the Chief whispered to Izuku before he and the Old Lizardwoman walked away to leave him and Whitey alone with the thing.

"Hisssss!" a giant pink tongue briefly poked out of the thing's mouth as it neared the offered food.

"That thing is huge!" Mina shouted, her eyes bugging out.

"That's what she-"

"Are you really making that joke, midget?" Zebra asked, actually sounding disappointed more than angry.

"It's a classic..." Mineta muttered, ashamed.

"But seriously... Midori-bro has to get that thing?" Kirashima stated. "How!? I don't think the tribe will like it if he just ups and takes it."

"It does seem to like Izuku's cooking though," Momo stated. "Might tame it that way and have the tribe say he's a god tamer, or something."

"Would be hard to explain to the police back home why his pet snake can work as a substitute train, though." Mic admitted.

"Did you forget I have a dimension pocket..." Izuku remened his teacher.

"... I'll admit that did slip my mind..." he answered, sheepishly.

"A lot of things slip your mind, Mic." Aizawa said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh! Rude, Shouta! So rude!" Mic answered with a dramatic gasp while grasping his heart.

"Wonder if I can make the kid wood for smoking..." Kamui stated, liking the idea of smoked snake meat.

"I want to have some as well," Death Arms Admits.

"YOU CAN'T MAKE OFFER! I MAKE OFFER!'' When he saw the giant snake actually accept the food, the Tribe Chef turned near-insane in rage and tried jumping Izuku with its knife held high.

"STOP!" the Tribe Leader yelled in fear as the noise clearly put the giant snake on alert.

"Killing Intent against Host detected! Entering Battle Mode!" Whitey answered, eyes flashing red, by grabbing the crazed Lizardman by the neck and lifting him.

"AGK!" The lizard gasped in pain, but undeterred by the hold on him, he threw the knife at one of the giant snake's eyes.

"Oh... that's not going to end well..." Snipe stated, already seeing the trajectory of where the knife was going.

"THAT UTTER MORON OF A CHEF!" Komatsu roared in anger.

"That angry?" Tokoyami asked.

"He is disrespecting an Ingredient. We Chefs hate that." Setsuno explained, she too looked at the screen in disgust.

"HE WAS BAD BEFORE, BUT THIS TAKES THE WHOLE DAMN CAKE!" Komatsu started a tirade.

"He disrespected his knife too by throwing it like that. Father would have skinned him alive and used his teeth as a whetstone." Melk added, looking extremely pissed.

"Sheesh..." Katsuki hissed in surprise. He then grinned. "I'm like the sound of your father, more and more."

"Absolute unit of a man, even taller than me!" Toriko said, laughing. "And yet he was the shiest and sweetest guy you would ever meet. He cried a LOT when Komatsu and Melk married!"

"... Why does he sound like he could be related to them..." David asked, pointing to the Midoriyas.

"My grandpa was tall and very shy... God knows if Mister Melk is his Alternate version." Inko admitted, laughing.

"With how the multiverse works... I wouldn't be surprised..." En stated flatly.

SPLOTCH!

"HISSSSSSSHAAAAAAA!" with a tiny spurt of blood, the giant snake threw back its head and released a loud high-pitched shriek.

"NO!" the old lizard woman yelled in horror.

"IF YOU LIKE GOD OF MOUNTAIN, THEN GET IN GOD'S BELLY!" the crazed Chef yelled in glee.

While still thrashing around violently, the giant Python slammed against the cliff-side with its whole body, destroying the altar and the terrain under it and causing a small avalanche when an entire side of the cliff crumbled to dust under the animal's immense weight.

"WHOA!" Izuku yelled as the ground gave-in under him and he found himself falling into the void...And right inside the mouth of the angered giant Snake waiting for him with its maw fully open.

"NO!" Eri screamed, utterly horrified.

"Look at the bright side, at least he now has a way to get the snake..." Kirishima said, trying to look on the bright side.

"DUDE!" Kaminari yelled.

"Hey, I'm trying not to freak out here...!" Kirashima stated, a cold sweat over him.

"HE HAS BEEN EATEN ALIVE! WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING ANYTHING?! HE IS YOUR PRECIOUS HOST!" Ochako shrieked, completely hysterical.

"The System trusts the Host. He'll be fine."

"Trust that one, girl," Zaus stated, smiling. "He'll be fine. We go inside giant animals all the time, or did you all forget about the jewel meat we told you about~?

Everyone was silent, then faced palms. This would be a normal day for Izuku.

"... I completely forgot that you guys do this kind of thing..." Jiro states with a groan.

Inko looked like she was going to pass out from everything.

"He'll be fine as long as he stays out of the stomach," Aizawa tried saying.

"Actually, Snakes can take a long time digesting prey and-" Coco started.

"COCO!" Toriko shouted to his friend.

"... I-I am sorry."

CHOMP!

With a thundering sound, the giant Python swallowed the Chef whole and gulped him down together with the falling food and few hundred kilograms of rocks, before sending a glare to the rest of the Tribe and moving to attack them as well.

"Attempt to detect the Host's life! Switching to Extermination Mode! KILL!" Whitey eyes immediately turned from red to purple, while his left hand sunk into his arm to switch place with the wide blade of a squared butcher knife.

"Wha?" That was how far the Tribe Chef could go before the robot cleaved him vertically in half with a single swing of his arm-blade, before boldly jumping on the giant python's face to fight with it.

"YOU FOOL! GREAT POWER PROTECTS STRANGER! NOW RUIN WILL RAIN ON US!" the old Lizardwoman yelled while taking the hands of both Tribe Leader and his daughter to pull them away.

"But-But! But The God of Mountains!"

"Screw the God of Mountains! Our lives are more important! Iron Thing and Great Power protect Stranger and we offend both! Now we run!" the old thing yelled in fear while dragging both away in a surprising feat of strength for something as ancient as her.

"Okay... Izuku, if you go to a world that is like this, make sure to tie up the moron..." Hanta stated. "It would be kinda cool to see that snake as a pet and can regrow parts with how big it is."

"I mean, Sanni's own pet snake was what? Ten times that?" Toriko asked.

"Hn! One hundred, thank you! My beautiful Quin could literally swallow that worm whole." Sani answered, huffing.

"So, yeah, having that as a pet is feasible... Granted you have lots of space." Toriko said, smirking.

"... You keep forgetting the pocket dimension..." Izuku stated, flatly.

Toriko was dope slapped by Daigoro with Blackwhip. "You're a moron."

"I kind of do, but really, is that pocket a formless void? That's a bit boring for the animals there. They need green fields and lots of sun!" Toriko said.

"The System gave the Host more than a Void. You will see soon."

BOOM! BOOM! THUMP! CRASH!

As they ran, the three could hear the battle between Whitey and the giant snake demolish the gate and the few foolish guards that tried intervening, unfortunately only the chubby robot seemed able to go toe-to-toe with the creature while everything and everybody else just went pulverized by the python's massive tail and body.

"Host must be protected! KILL!" Whitey would roar from time to time while either smashing his big fist on the Python's head or hacking away pieces of its body with the arm-blade, soon turning the giant snake head into a mess of broken scales and flesh dripping blood in astounding quantity.

"HOLY CRAP!" Many yelled.

"A Whitey is not just a Bouncer, it is a machine created to protect Hosts. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY." The added echo to the last part of the answer, did make the My Hero Guys' skin crawl a lot.

"Note to self, make sure to keep on Komatsu's good side when he gets one of those and Blackie..." Toriko muttered.

"You are always on my good side, Toriko-san!" Komatsu answered, smiling blindingly.

"Oh, my Combo Partn-"

"Except when you try stealing a taste while I am still cooking." The smile turned stiff then.

"... I'll be good."

The other Kings snickered at his plight. "That goes for you three as well..."

"Oh, COME ON!" The three yelled as one, they were the good ones!

Melk giggled at her husband's antics. "I take it that since I'm building God Cookware, I'm on your good side, dear~?" she teased him.

"You always are~!"

"SIMP!" The My Hero Boys yelled.

"NEPOTISM!" The Kings chorused.

Rin joined in, teasing her husband as well. "And you'll be taking me with you on your trips to gather spices as well~"

"Wouldn't have it any other way!" Toriko answered, laughing.

"Sniff! Sniff! Smells like hypocrite here!" Mic said, faking long sniffs while smirking.

"Says the guy who does what me and Aizawa tell him to do~" Midnight teased him.

"At least I'm not one who tries to keep away from a lovely lady who likes him~" Mic teased Aizawa about Ms. Joke.

"Somebody likes the hobo?" Sunni asked, a teasing smile on his face.

"Not everybody goes after men with rainbow hair, Princess Celestia." Aizawa answered.

"... Who?" Sunni asked, looking lost.

Gaia brought an image of the Alicorn. "I would have gone with Ragyo... But Sunni would have to be evil~" Gaia teased.

"YOU SAYIN' IMMA HORSE-FACED?!" The King shrieked, losing any form of class he had until then.

"Want some hay?" Aizawa answered, his infamous smile peeking from the scarf.

The other Kings were laughing at Sunni's misfortune.

"'One of the Four Kings Roasted by Another Worlder'," Tina wrote down. "This'll be a headline~"

"Add to it how I murdered his ass! Get over here!" Sunni bellowed, rolling-up his sleeves.

"Sit down, kiddo." Setsuno ordered, nonplussed.

"Tch! You got lucky..."

"Should I show you Ragyo~?" Gaia teased Sunni, doing so anyway.

"See? That's a better example! We are people of class! Of elegance! Of-"

"She is basically a Genocidal Maniac that almost caused the extinction of the human race." System said.

"..."

"So... What was that you were saying about your evil twin sister~?" Zebra asked, mocking the flashy king.

"I. Hate. All of you..." Sunni grunted out, grinding his teeth in anger, making everyone burst out laughing.

"Me too?" Komatsu asked.

"Except you, at least you have some manners... Whenever you remember to use them."

"I... I'll take that compliment." The Chef answered, sighing.

"It's still something," Melk answered, patting her husband's back while chuckling.

Sunni just took his seat again, grumbling at him being mocked.

BADOO!

A rather violent body-slam the snake attempted to shake-off the robot caused another big chunk of the cliff to turn to dust, a piece big enough even the animal couldn't avoid falling down to the valley below, still with Whitey holding onto its nose with one hand and relentlessly slashing down with his arm-blade.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The impact with the ground was terrifying, demolishing hundreds of trees and rising a giant cloud of dust as the giant Python landed head-first on the ground below but finally throwing Whitey away, the robot simply rolled on the floor a couple of meters before returning to his feet with not even a scratch on his body.

"Please tell me that Icchan didn't die on impact..." Inko begged in tears.

"ALL OF YOU SHUT THE FRICK UP! SHE'S BEEN RHETORICAL!" Katsuki yelled immediately.

And MANY slammed their mouths shut before they could actually answer for real and aggravate the woman further.

"Mothers are terrifying..." Toriko stated. "Especially ones with powers..."

"Uh?" Zebra asked, confused.

"Testicles are technically 'Small objects', she can pull them away with her Powers... Do the math." Coco said, grimacing.

"... Ouch." The King grunted.

"And remember what happened when she got truly mad just a few minutes ago...?" Sunni reminded them. "And don't forget atoms as well... she might be able to tear us apart, molecule by molecule... Figuratively and literally..."

Everyone's eyes widened in realization.

"I-I-I am not into that!" Inko shouted, horrified.

"Ignore them, Mom. I know you are good. The Very Best." Izuku answered, as the only one not afraid while hugging her.

"Aaaw, Icchan!"

"I would find it cute, if not for the notion only he would survive her." Monoma said, unamused.

"We better hope the villains don't want to frighten her by threatening her son right in front of her..." Katsuki stated, shiving, but thought the idea was cool, seeing Inko literally ripping into the villain, verbally and physically.

A dark, motherly protective aura admitted from Inko. "If someone dares to hurt my son severely..."

"... Should I not mention what Muscular almost did to me and Koda...?" Izuku asked, sweating.

"Pointing your mother against a Villain is unheroic." Nighteye said.

"Well, you did try to tell him that he was unworthy of my Quirk." Toshinori whispered.

"It was a ruse. Just a ruse to test him. Nothing more." Nighteye answered, and while looking stoic still, he was sweating. A LOT.

Inko looked at her son with a sweet smile that didn't hide her anger. "What did he try to do dear...?"

"H-He wanted to kill me and Kota..." Izuku answered, both boys are now scared of Inko Midoriya's Motherly Wrath.

"Is that so...?" Inko asked, her smile straining, her right eye twitching in anger.

"But I did punch him super hard!" Izuku added.

"Good."

"Into a coma, to be precise." Nezu added. He then had a wicked smile, wanting to see the fun chaos he could bring. "But you did merely destroy your arms in doing so."

"That was a worthy sacrifice." Izuku answered, huffing.

"Please stop doing that, Icchan. Scars are awesome and hot on men, yes... Losing both arms isn't."

"I am trying, Mom! It just keeps happening!" Izuku answered, whining.

"We did fix that, though." Light answered, raising his hand.

"Took Eldritch Being powers!" Joy added, laughing.

"... I don't know how I feel about that..." Inko stated, looking conflicted.

"HISSS! HISSS! HISSS!" meanwhile the giant Python was strangely moving around in clear agony before setting its eyes on the robot and trying to swallow him whole.

"DESTROY!" Whitey in answer welcomed the assault and once avoided the bite climbed again on the snake nose to plunge the arm-blade elbow-deep INSIDE one of the animal's eyes.

"HISSSSS HAAAAAA!" the Python shrieked horribly as it started slamming its head on the ground over and over, desperate to shake-off the chubby robot.

"KILL!" still unsatisfied, Whitey took a hold of the eye the blade was piercing through with his other hand, and with a mighty pull, he managed to gouge-out the giant eyeball of the snake in an explosion of thick blackish blood.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!" Katsuki yelled in glee at the violent spectacle while Izuku and Mirio hurried to cover the kids' eyes.

"Hey! Why are you covering our eyes!?" Kota shouted trying to get free.

"R-18!" Mandalay said.

"Ow, come on!"

"Yeah! Snap him in half!" Pixie-Bob yelled.

"Bad example." The kid's Mom muttered in dismay.

BOOM!

Finally too tired and wounded to fight anymore, the giant python collapsed on the floor with a weak whimper-like sound and its breathing growing rapidly shallower the more blood it lost from its various wounds.

"Host?" Whitey asked once calmed down, blade returning inside his arm to leave its place to a proper hand and eyes once again colored white.

The insane amount of blood covering the robot had also rapidly evaporated thanks to the System, leaving it perfectly clean.

Forcing the almost-dead snake to lie on its side, the robot finally understood why the snake was thrashing around violently in agony during their fight when he noticed a strange bulge appearing on the python's belly at random intervals, as if something was trying to push out from deep inside it.

"He is alive!" Toru yelled in relief.

"Thank God." Mina added, stealthily drying her eyes trying to not be seen by the others.

"You had your doughnuts...?" Tamaki asked, raising an eyebrow. "You do remember he lives to be an old man in this universe, right...?"

"Just because you have the same emotional range of a brick like Aizawa-Sensei, doesn't mean we others have too! I got invested, like in movies!" Mina snapped.

"Uh... Mina... I think you're thinking of me..." Hitoshi stated flatly. Tamaki was in the corner sulking for being yelled at for pointing something out.

"Well, you both act the same! You really, REALLY need to learn to act less robotically. Less Aizawaish!"

And so Hitoshi joined Tamaki in the corner of woe...

"I... I don't have the emotional range of a brick..." Aizawa muttered, actually sounding hurt.

Mina was dope-slapped by Yuga. "You really need to learn meaners Mina, you do this to me as well, always interrupting me..."

"If you would not sparkle every sentence, I would let you finish! You turn us blind every time you say more than three words!"

"LE GASP! That's not true!" Yuga shouted, playfully looking hurt. He then shot back. "And if someone is more bright then mwa it's All Might~"

"WO! WO-WO-WO! I am bright as in All-smiling, I do not produce high-wattage Bishy Sparkles!" Toshinori answered.

"Toshi, don't argue with kids..." Nighteye begged with a groan.

"Yes... please don't..." David agreed, groaning as well.

"As if you wouldn't if you could!" Yuga said.

"I mean, I would, just not all the time."

"It's style!"

"It's annoying." Shoto answered.

Yuga swooned playfully, acting like he was hurt. "You wound me dear sir~!"

Some of the teens were holding back their giggles from Yuga's over dreamitics.

"Booo. Bad performance." Sanni said.

"SHUT YER TRAP!"

"MAKE ME SHUT IT; Dye-job!"

"Ma parole! (My Word!) My hair is naturally blond! Your's is the Dye-Job!"

"Yeah! Next you will say BDSM-Maniac there has not silicone in her chest." Sanni said, huffing. "AND MY HAIR IS NATURAL!"

"MY TITS ARE NATURAL!" Nemuri shrieked.

"It's turning in a free-for-all." Izuku commented.

"Yep!" Mirio answered.

"I am glad they are not singing us out."

"Yep!" He agreed.

"AT LEAST I AM MORE EXPRESSIVE THAN TINTIN THERE!" Monoma yelled.

"I AM NOT TINTIN!" Mirio shrieked, doing a 180 in demeanor.

"ENOUGH!" Light shouted, making everyone go silent.

"Classy, Light. I was about to resolve this myself, in a way calmer manner." Joy said, mid-loading of a revolver gun.

Light hit him, sending the eye flat to the ground, and crushed the revolver into dust.

"It was loaded in sleeping darts, you over-sized parrot."

"Oh... My apologies then." Light apologized. "But with you, anything can happen." He then turned back to the watchers. "Now... please return to your seat... AND CALM THE HELL DOWN!!!"

They all did so, not wanting to get a deity of light mad.

Script!

Finally, the tip of a common kitchen knife branded with I-Island insignia faintly surfaced from a tiny cut on the snake's belly, immediately catching Whitey's eyes that moved towards it with heavy and rapid steps.

"Host is alive!" the robot declared while gently shoving both hands inside the tiny slit Izuku opened on the python's belly from inside to tear a giant hole open for the Chef to walk out of the animal's stomach.

"Ugh! Okay...The first Sortie could have gone better..." he admitted while grimacing at the smelly gastric acids and droll covering him.

"Congratulations to the Host for capturing the Special Ingredient for your Mission!" the System declared with a happy chime while cleaning off the muck from Izuku's body and clothes.

"Hmmm! Lavender! Nice!" the young Chef said once, giving a whiff to his now clean clothes and skin.

"This reminds me of a funny accident! I was eaten by a giant Bear once and had to get out from the butt. Poor Knocking Master avoided me like the plague for weeks! I felt so lonely!" Setsuno admitted, sighing.

"It happens, it's part of the job." Zeus answered, sighing.

Some of the people looked sick from hearing that.

"I promise to never do that... IF that happens to me too." Izuku offered.

"Just try to not get eaten to begin with, dear." Tsuyu said, groaning.

"I.. can't promise that..." Izuku said, looking away, sheepish.

"Unfortunately some Ingredients NEED to be prepared from inside. It's a very thankless procedure." Komatsu said, grimacing.

"... When I thought things couldn't get weirder with you lot..." Death Arms stated, flatly.

"If you don't want to try stew made with Blue Land Whale, that needs to be made from inside the animal, just say so." Toriko answered, shrugging.

"... I... can't tell if you're being serious or not..." Kamui said, with a sweat drop.

"The King Python will be now moved to the Restaurant Storage, and the Ingredients inside the stomach that are still in acceptable conditions will be also counted as properly Captured as per Host's request." the System said, making the giant snake fade away and disappear without a trace, gouged-out eye too.

"Good to know the ones I put aside while in there are still valid for Capture. That means I only need two 5-Stars and one 4-Stars Ingredient left to find to complete my Mission." Izuku said with a sigh of relief.

As the Entity said, the snake was used to easily gorge itself with everything it came across, and that meant a wide collection of good Ingredients was waiting for the young Chef as soon as he arrived inside the python's stomach.

It was at dawn of the following day, after a short pause to sleep, that the young Chef managed to find the remaining Ingredients he needed, one of which a pair of giant bears and their cubs (Categorized as 5-Stars), and as soon as the System transported them into the Restaurant Storage Area the same noiseless explosion of light engulfed both him and Whitey to bring them back to Izuku's original world.

"Those bears are bigger than Gigantomachia! HOW DID YOU CAPTURE THOSE?!" Midnight and Mt. Lady shrieked in horror.

"Fought bigger ones." Zaus, Toriko, the other Kings and Setsuno chorused with a shrug.

"... Of course you did..." the two said in a deadpan.

"Hey, you'll be able to get bigger than him soon," Izuku stated.

"Yes, but fighting a bear your size is never a good plan, even when you and the bear are the size of a skyscraper." Mt. Lady answered, shivering.

"You can defeat a giant bear! You are Mt. Lady, the invincible giant Hero!" he answered, with a thumbs-up and a reassuring smile.

"I'm starting to see why the other girls and some guys like him," she muttered to herself.

Green Cloud Restaurant – Inside the Kitchen -

The same light shone brightly in the spacious room as the young Chef and robot returned home from their little sortie, and a rapid look at the clock on the wall confirmed the System's promise: Izuku had left the restaurant at 6 AM, and after twenty or so hours in there he was back to see the same clock sign 8:32 AM of the same day, barely an hour late for his Breakfast Service, so with still plenty of time for organizing things for lunch.

"Uh! Convenient!" Izuku admitted with a low voice while cracking his back and yawning a little, luckily Gourmet Cells also meant his body possessed 'Superhuman Adaptability', meaning that for him having slept barely four hours was still enough to recover fully, he was just as well rested as a normal guy sleeping for eight hours.

"Thank you for all the help, Whitey. You have been a life-saver!" once given a friendly pat to the amazingly-soft belly of the robot, the young Chef moved the sign on the door to 'Open', unlocked it, opened the drapes obscuring the Restaurant main room completely so to bask in the early morning light...And watched Blackie walking towards the door with cat-like steps once exited from a pitch-black portal and then lie down next to the entrance to sleep, like usual.

"We better get at least a flashback! I won't accept anything else!" Pony said with a petulant whine.

"You really think they wouldn't...?" Katsuki asked flatly.

"We have no control over how events are shown. So it may actually remain a mystery. I just record stuff, I do not take care of Editing." Joy answered, apologetic.

"Good thing we can watch and add parts you miss..." Xara stated.

"God forbid you do not show off."

"You're one to talk..." Everyone said in a flat voice.

"Yes, but I don't brag," The Eye answered, shrugging.

"Liar..."

"Blackie?" he asked.

"Uhrm?" the Dog grunted as an answer.

"You okay? Something happened?" Izuku said, knowing well the Dog pretty much NEVER left his place next to the Restaurant entrance except to sleep inside at night, as far as he knew.

"Don't worry about it. While you were away this Lord Dog has been asked to lend a paw to fix a small issue, nothing a gentle caress of mine could not manage." Blackie answered, sounding overbearingly smug.

"Uh?"

"A small emergency arose where one of Host friend's needed support. Since Host was occupied elsewhere the System simply assured no harm to come to the girl known as 'Momo' by sending Blackie on site. She is now safe and unharmed." the System explained.

"MOMO?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Izuku asked immediately.

"The System will offer a small debrief to the Host while he prepares the Breakfast for the approaching customers and initiates the preparations for the Lunch Dishes. Rest assured no tragedy happened." the Entity answered.

"O-O-Okay. But you need to tell me everything!"

"If it will help Host calm down, the System will."

"Thank you!" Izuku answered, grateful, before welcoming with his usual gentle smile the small group of Customers coming in for breakfast.

While he prepared the pastries and croissants and the coffee and cappuccinos for the customers, he was enraptured by what happened in the few hours he left to visit another world.

"Aaaaw!" Momo gushed, hugging their Izuku hard.

"You care!" She said, smiling wide.

"I think he would be for anyone~" Ochako stated, teasing Izuku.

"Oh, yes! Definitely!"

"A romantic ain't he~?" Toriko teased.

"I have lots of Love to give," Izuku answered.

"We can tell," Mina answered, smirking.

"More than enough for us, I hope!" Setsuna and Kinoko said.

"Yes."

USJ – Main Hall – Earlier that day -

Things were bad, really bad! Even after finally regrouping in the main hall of the USJ and fighting together!

The situation was an utter mess, that much Aizawa could regretfully admit; he was proud of his students because they were holding their own against the crooks that League of Villains had bought along for their merry attack, but whenever one of those that first accompanied the Leader of the group joined the fight, things spiraled into disaster.

"Tell me you have a plan, Eraser! I beg you!" Thirteen begged as she kept battling a guy with a body made of dark smoke.

"Trust me, if I had one I would have already implemented it!" Aizawa yelled back in answer, happy to see the last remaining students rejoin them in the main hall of the place after that smoke guy 'Kurogiri' had first separated them, and all of them looked utterly bruised, meaning they had pretty hard fights too.

And whatever that 'Nomu' thing was, it was now keeping-up with Toshinori of all people! The two hulking brutes were just punching the crap out of each other with both holding nothing back, and neither of the two seemed to make a dent on the other!

Aizawa was gripping his armrest hard in anger.

"God, watching it happen again brings up everything all over again," Katsuki said with a shaky breath.

"Ugh! That thing almost killed me." Tsuyu said.

"All of us. It almost got all of us..." Shoto answered.

"Geez... these guys are sick..." Toriko stated, hating people who would kill kids.

"And they only get worse..." All Might stated.

"Artificially made to have multiple Quirks and absolute blind obedience. No sense of Pain, Fear or Remorse. The perfect soldiers for a Shameless Monster like him." Nezu said.

"Reminds me of those Artificial Animals they used during the war." Zebra said.

"The ones you hunted to Extinction?" Komatsu said.

"Yep."

"... Should I ask...?" Tetsutetsu asked.

"Our own version of those Nomus, only legally-sanctioned by the Government in our case. Some countries bred Animals of the Gourmet World, a very inhospitable part of our planet, to use them for War. Some escaped at the end of the conflict and kept breeding on their own. Until Zebra one day got angry enough he killed and ate them all. Unfortunately they were still legally recognized as Ingredients and Endangered Animals... So he was arrested." (A/N 4)

".. Wouldn't they be an invasive species though...?" Koda asked, being the most knowledgeable on animals. "So he had the right to do so so the ecological system wouldn't go off by them?"

"You need to remember those were basically bio-weapons made by a Government agency, they wanted them gone but still in a way they let them use them again. Zebra left nothing behind once he was done. He had cost them billions of damages." Coco answered.

"EH! They even tasted bad. Weak and disgusting, their money was wasted anyway." Zebra said with a savage smile.

"And his attitude about it didn't help either. So they were extra motivated to punish him."

".. Sounds like they were the idiots for not checking thoroughly on who they were recruiting..." Kirashima stated, dryly.

"Recruiting? I didn't need recruiting! I was there and they pissed me off, so I killed them, easy as that!" Zebra answered, scoffing.

"And the Villages they were terrorizing begged for help. Not that that giant Tsundere will ever admit it." Toriko stage-whispered.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Zebra roared.

"You are indeed a tough guy! But I know I will just need to give you one hundred punches more to be done with you! TEXAS SMASH!" Toshinori declared, still trying to inspire Hope in such a desperate situation.

"F***! They just keep coming!" Katsuki bellowed in anger as he and a few others managed to get into the main hall.

That brat is still cursing, good, they too are fine! Aizawa welcomed that potty mouth like a blessing for the first time since the kid joined his class.

"We...We need to escape, I can't keep this going for much more...I am melting myself in my own acid!" Mina admitted with labored breath.

"What about you, Tenya-san?" Momo asked, looking pale and malnourished, having used her own Quirk to its limits and so with very little fat mass remaining in her body and still weak from the stab wound on her arm.

"I can still fight, but I am running out of fuel as well. They may be weak, but sheer numbers are making-up for it," the tall bespectacled boy answered, gasping for air himself.

"If Mister Blackie has to appear, that would be the perfect moment, before any of us dies..." Tenya muttered, grimacing.

"You were that bad?" Itsuka asked, worried.

"Pretty much, they are having it worse than us, but we weren't exactly that far from looking like that." Mina answered.

"They wrecked those versions of us, don't sugar-coat it." Kyoka said.

"Dang..." Tetsutetsu stated.

"Geeeeeeh..."

"Yeah, Kaminari too is reaching his limit, no more lightning for him." Jiro translated for the others.

"Jiro...Your ear is bleeding." Ochako, swaying on her feet in nausea, asked.

"That knife bitch that is now fighting with Aizawa-sensei almost cut one of my ear-jacks off, it was a miracle if it's just a shallow cut." she answered.

"F***! My shoulders hurt like hell, if I make another bang I will kiss my arms goodbye! SHIT!" Katsuki added, snarling.

"I...I think my leg broke! Sero-chan? H-Help?" Toru asked, being held by the shoulder by Jiro, to help her walk.

"I am thirsty as hell, no more tape for me..."

"That monster dislodged three of my extra arms, I won't be of much help either." Mezo said, teeth clenched hard in anger.

"I can't harden anymore..I...I think I have a couple ribs broken!" Kirishima added.

"Me too. Ribbit!"

"Shota? You okay?" Mic asked, concerned.

"Just... Just bad memories, that is all." He answered.

"And knowing that Oboro was just there...?"

"Y-Yeah... He became a puppet to a monster..." he said, gritting his teeth. "... I truly hope that Problem Child and Komatsu can help save him..."

"I will try my hardest, Sensei! Promise!" Izuku answered.

"Same here." Komatsu added.

"... That's as much hope as I can get..."

Mic giggles. "What if we actually free him, and he becomes a double agent to help us out as well? He'd be helping us like old times."

"I just want him back, Zashi... I want our friend back."

"Me too, Grumpy. Me too." He answered, giving him a one-armed hug.

"Have no fear, Reinforcements are coming." Aizawa yelled while dodging another fast swipe of the crazed blond girl he was fighting with.

"This is taking too long! I am getting bored." Shigaraki declared with a bored sigh as he too finally joined the battle.

"Don't let him touch you!" Thirteen warned in fear as the guy was soon upon Ochako, both hands ready to grab her.

"OCHAKO-CHAN!" Tsuyu yelled while pulling her friend away with her prehensile tongue.

"Kya!" The brunette shrieked in surprise, only to grow relieved when she saw the floor develop a giant hole as soon as the Villain touched it.

"Hey! I wanted to kill that girl!" the Villain roared in offense.

"Stop playing around, we have a mission to complete." Kurogiri answered, using his warping powers to escape Thirteen's Quirk once again.

"I am trying! But she is cheating with that tongue! She isn't playing fair! IT WAS MY PVP FIGHT!"

"Kero! Is this a game to you?!" Tsuyu asked, disgusted.

Nana looked down in shame, feeling guilty.

"It is not your fault! It's that monster that twisted him into that!" Toshinori said to cheer her up.

"Wait, she knows him?" Mic and Toriko asked.

"... He's my grandson... Who was corrupted by All For One..."

"Jesus, how much more Drama do you need to add to your life?" Teppei asked with a groan.

"All For One is someone that will twist anything to get what he wants, he only cares for people to be under his control," All Might stated. "He doesn't care who he ruins to do just that."

"I am just saying that we could visit your place, just to join the line for kicking his ass," Zebra hissed.

"He would get in your head easily, because you get angered easily," Izuku said as a fact. "He'll use anyone to stop you from hurting him. He'd put civilians in your line so you wouldn't be able to use your sound attacks."

"This is why I hate being a good guy; There are too many restrictions." Zebra answered, grumbling.

"We do appreciate the gesture, though. Do not misunderstand. Your offer means a lot, thank you." Midnight said with a small smile.

"Yeah, yeah." Zebra waved her off. He did hide a small smile. He then pointed to the three other Kings. "You guys ain't as annoying as these guys anyways. At least you lot know how to fight properly."

"That's the closest thing to a compliment you will ever get from Zebra. Rejoice." Sanni said.

"You all are hella strange, but you are cool too!" Kaminari said, smirking, giving a thumbs up.

"HOHOHOHO! Yes it is! And I can't wait to finish it with a new High Score! Crush them, Nomu!" Shigaraki ordered with a pleased smile as the hulking figure immediately stopped fighting against All Might to charge the students like a raging bull.

"STOP!" Toshinori ordered in abject horror.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAH!" surprising the kids with its speed, the thing was soon upon them with both fists up in the air to squash them.

"Scatter!" Shoto, eyes wide, yelled, making the other scamper away.

"Ah!" Just as Momo tripped to the floor, Ochako was at her side to help her get back up on her feet, unfortunately leaving them both as easy prey of the monster.

"MOMO! OCHAKO!" Mina shrieked in horror as the two giant fists of the Nomu were about to squash both into a pulp of broken flesh.

"NOOOO!" Toshinori yelled as he desperately tried to reach Nomu before it was too late.

"I can't look! Where is that dog?!" Tooru yelled.

"Any moment! He must appear now!" Tokoyami answered, covering his eyes.

"Come on, big dog!" Dark Shadow shouted.

"Any second now!" Ojiro said, almost begging.

"I AM ABOUT TO DIE! WHERE IS HE!?" Ochako shrieked.

"Woof!"

It was then that the Void got blew-open by an unseen mighty force to show a fissure in Space itself, a hole hovering in the air and showing pitch-black nothingness inside, and whatever force opened that portal it also pushed the Nomu away so violently the creature tumbled like a rag-doll on the floor for a couple of seconds and away from its potential victims.

The entire room went plunged into complete silence as both Sides of the fight were waiting with baited breath to see who would come out of that portal, if reinforcers for the Villains or the Heroes.

"Another Warp Quirk?" Aizawa hissed with narrowed eyes.

"One of us, Kurogiri?" Dabi asked.

"Nobody beside me has a Warp Quirk in our organization." Nomu answered.

To everybody's surprise a rather big pitbull dog with lustrous black fur walked out of the tear in Reality that closed by itself as soon as the animal fully came out, walking between the two groups with elegant cat-like steps until he got in front of both Momo and Ochako and sat down, as if wishing to protect them from the hulking muscled monster that in the meantime had jumped back on its feet.

"Aww! What a cute doggie!" Himiko gushed with a wide smile.

"A stray dog? With such a rare Quirk?" Kurogiri muttered, surprised.

"Not much of a stray if it has a pot belly." Dabi commented.

"H-H-Hey! Isn't that the dog guarding that Restaurant?!" Mineta muttered, gasping.

"Blackie?" Momo whispered, just as surprised.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"There he is... Goddamnit." Katsuki said.

"Last second intervention," Nighteye stated. "Always the hero trope."

"I wouldn't put it past him just being lazy either." Tina said, laughing.

"Either/or," Toriko and Ren stated, shrugging.

"Does this Lord look like a stray to you, brat? Show some respect, or else this Lord's paw will smack you until nothing remains!" Blackie answered with his baritone, magnetic voice carrying forth his overbearing attitude.

"Uh, it talks too. Bit of an inflated Ego, though." Kurogiri answered.

"Why are you here, Blackie?" Momo asked.

"This is a dangerous place!" Ochako added right after.

"Foolish girl! This Lord was enjoying his nap when he was asked to come save your life, and here I am! Last thing I need is for sorrow to affect the young man I swore to protect. Apparently you are precious enough for him. I personally had to make a move." Blackie answered, scoffing.

"Why is he looking at us both, instead of just Momo?" Ochako asked.

"Blame the Kaleidoscope here..." Xara said, pointing his thumb at the orb.

"No? The System gave precise details. The System always does." The System answered.

"If there is a thing they are good at, that is being precise to insane levels." Light said.

Now...The System had already sent Whitey with Izuku into another world, and It also knew the boy was harboring feelings for Momo, so, since the Entity felt that his Sorrow at losing her could potentially hinder Izuku's ascension to God of Cooking, the mysterious System asked Blackie to intervene and save the girl's life.

Problem was that Blackie had only two priorities in life: Fighting a good battle and eating Izuku's Spicy Beef Noodles two-to-three times a day, so the dog hurried to protect the girl as a way to preserve the high quality of his food, reason why in his hurry to leave he missed Who exactly was the girl he was supposed to protect, and since his Pride forbid him from asking for clarifications, he just made sure to look and talk to both girls at the same time while delivering his line, sure that at least one of them was the right one, since both were about to die a messy death before he arrived.

Everybody present could only facepalm HARD at that, even the Eldritch Deities.

"There is your problem... He just was not paying attention..." Joy said, groaning.

"... Remind The System to make sure Blackie pays attention... Otherwise they'll be punished with no noodles for a week to a month..."

"I heard of the cliche of dogs starting the romance in stories and Tv Shows, but I didn't know this extended to polyamorous relationships too." Coco admitted, chuckling.

"Got to remember to buy a dog." Mineta muttered.

"Buy a better personality too, since you are there." Katsuki added, smirking.

"Hardy-har-har... Like you're one to talk, Mr. Explosive Bully."

"EH! I am still Marketable, Midget! Chicks dig Bullies too!" He answered, smug.

"Yeah, to those that like toxic relationships for some reason," Mineta shot back.

"Ah-ha-haaa! This is where you are wrong, AGAIN! Little turd! They like the Bully that they Can Change, as in, that they can smooth out a little bit, not too much, just remove the excessive asshole-ism without ruining the core Bad Boy theme under it. It's a matter of balance, that is what I am offering!" Katsuki explained with a savage smile.

"..."

"I don't know how to face this. It's far too well thought out, for him." Mina admitted, unnerved.

"And very devious." Momo added.

"That too."

"This Lord's noodles are too important! If I have to play babysitter to make sure the Kiddo does not lose Cooking Talent because of Sorrow, then so be it! WOOF!" the black dog thought in determination.

"Izuku was worried about me/Midoriya-San was worried about me?" Both Ochako and Momo thought at the same time.

And while Ochako found strange that a boy she just met already felt she was that important to him, she could not help feeling touched all the same, like Momo was, at seeing the tiny help the young Chef still sent her way; neither could both girls deny feeling a small prickling in their chest as they heard Lord Dog declare how much Izuku found them 'Precious'.

"...This can't be happening..." The System had not the ability to face-palm, but at that moment it REALLY REALLY wanted to.

"It's okay. It's not your fault. It's his Cinnamon Roll Aura. Something outside your control." Gaia said with a gentle tone while patting the mass of light and colors.

"It is far too unpredictable." The System admitted.

"My what now?!" Izuku asked, annoyed.

"The aura you exude day in and day out that makes women want to gobble you up." Mina answered, smirking.

"... Huh?" Izuku asked, looking confused.

"Maybe I should show yo-EEEEK!"

"Down! Down! Not now!" Momo said while spraying her with a water bottle she created and Light filled in cold water, treating the girl like a misbehaving pet.

"You are no fun, Momo..." Mina said playfully, pouting at the rich girl.

"We will sexually assault him once back home. We have a schedule for it, remember. First Ochako than everybody else. Just be patient!" Momo said, coldly.

"..."

"I am sure it is not proper to say all that aloud..." Tenya said with a groan, and facepalming tiredly, he had a blush on his face as well.

Momo turned atomic neon red in embarrassment from her realization.

"..."

"Nerd? You are supposed to act outraged, or at least shy." Katsuki said.

"They said we will have an Org... A Group Thing. A group thing with lots of pretty girls and a very handsome guy." Izuku answered, slightly censuring himself for Eri and Kota's sake.

"... Fair enough." Katsuki admitted.

"Aaw! So you were sent by a friend of theirs? How sweet...And pathetic. NOMU! Kill that fleabag!" the hands-covered Leader of the League commented in cruel mockery, before pointing at Blackie and giving his order to the hulking brute.

"GUAOOOOOOO!" the giant of muscles immediately ignored All Might again to assault the plump dog.

"You dare call your Lord Dog a fleabag? Preposterous!" Blackie's eyes narrowed dangerously while glaring at Shigaraki, he didn't seem to find threatening the charging Nomu enough to even just spare it a glance.

SNAP!

Nobody expected it, everybody in fact looked at Blackie with wide, bulged-out eyes as the dog's mouth merely opened and closed in a blurry of motion to give ONE single bite that completely obliterated the entire top half of the three meters tall mountain of muscles, leaving behind only a small fraction of the Nomu's torso and its legs to fall to the ground in a rapidly-expanding pool of viscous blood.

"OH COME ON! THAT'S TOO MUCH!" Katsuki yelled.

"That is a bit excessive for a flex..." Toriko muttered.

"Do not look at The System, Blackies are just that uncaring of what others think and will show their powers however they want," The System informed, wanting to pinch the bridge of its nose if it had one.

"So even Elder Gods like you can get annoyed by that thing as well...?" Aizawa and Zebra asked at the same time.

"Because it is illogical."

"Oh great... there's three of them..." Mic said, playfully annoyed, getting some of the others to snicker.

"Shut up, Mic!" All three yelled in chorus, making him chuckle harder.

This only made everyone burst out laughing.

Munch! Munch! Munch!

They all heard the dog loudly chewing his mouthful of Nomu while the up-until-now Invincible monster lied dead at his paws, also, none of them could actually explain WHERE all that flesh/meat actually went, considering that Blackie was at best a fifth of the Nomu's overall sizes and so not something a mere dog should feasibly be able to eat whole.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Katsuki loudly swore, neatly encapsulating everybody's feeling at the absurd spectacle they just witnessed.

"Bleach! As expected, it can't even be put on the same plane of Existence of this Lord's beloved Spicy Beef Noodles. What a waste of meat!" Blackie muttered to himself once swallowed the hundred or so kilograms of Nomu he had just bitten off, and even as a dog his expression clearly showed contempt and disgust.

"I don't think All for One planned for his Nomu to be tasty too." Toshinori said with a deadpan face and sweatdrop.

"Don't be pedantic, Toshi." Nighteye said, sighing.

"Be glad that the kids are safe," David added.

"I am! I am! It's just... I was fighting it on equal ground, and that Dog came to kill it just like that." Toshinori said with a small voice.

"You are not really whining about an interloper stealing the spotlight?" Gran said.

"Not really, just... I just wanted to finish what I started."

"So people still know they are safe?" David asked him, getting a nod.

"Man, that guys a trooper," Toriko stated, sounding impressed.

"He made Giving Hope his Life mission, it's just that sometimes he gets too much into it." Nemuri said, giving a friendly pat to Toshinori's back that made him smile sheepishly.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! SPLAT!

Still unsatisfied, the dog added insult to injury and gently patted down with a paw, the collision of the well-manicured thing with what remained of the Nomu exploded the ground and shook the entire USJ Building hard enough many thought the thing would collapse on top of them, and digging a perfectly-drawn, very deep and HUGE imprint of a dog paw covering the entire floor of the main hall; as for what had remained of the Nomu's body, that simply turned into a fine red mist dispersing in the wind as soon as the paw struck. Completely erased from Existence.

Toshinori...Toshinori felt wronged, or even insulted, somehow. He had just declared that Nomu a worthy opponent and something he would need "One Hundred Punches!" of his to beat...And a mere dog instead killed it with a single bite and then disintegrated with a playful pat of a paw.

"Did I offend somebody? Is this Bad Karma showing-up? Why? Was it SO NECESSARY to show me up this badly? What did I do wrong?" All Might thought in sorrow as he coughed awkwardly and shifted to stand next to Aizawa.

"What the fuck happened, Kurogiri?" Shigaraki asked, annoyed.

"I don't know." the other answered.

"That me instead is being Salty. A very Not Plus Ultra Attitude." Toshinori said, tutting in disappointment.

"I love seeing the League confused for their plans going to shit. It suits them." Katsuki said, smirking.

"Guess the kid did you more good then I thought," Gran muttered to himself.

"Guess there's a lot of difference in this universe then yours," Coco stated.

"HEY! ARE YOU A MOB BOSS? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" the young man asked.

"First you call this Lord Dog a Flea Bag and then a measly Mob Boss?! Are you tired of living?!" Now Blackie was really annoyed, and the imperious way he talked and lifted his exquisite paw again clearly showed it.

"WOH! DOWN! DOWN! PUT DOWN THAT PAW! SLOWLY!" Himiko yelled immediately.

"I am no Mob Boss, you weakling! I AM YOUR LORD DOG! A MODERATOR!" showing a bit of knowledge of modern media, Blackie declared haughtily his correct title while giving a lazy pat forward with his paw, and to the others' shock an unseen force slammed with ungodly fury on Shigaraki's body with the force of a world-ending meteor, launching him flying back at insane speed and through the wall behind him, and through other three walls behind that still, each and every time leaving behind a perfectly-cut hole in the shape of a dog paw.

"...."

"HOLY CRAP!" Many shrieked in surprise.

"That's one hell of a paw!" Pixie-Bob said.

"A bit excessive." Sanni muttered, grimacing.

"... Maybe I can get Terry Cloth to do that..." Toriko thought out loud to himself, rubbing his chin. "Would go well with my flying moves..."

"As long as you get him to also have great aim, that looks way too destructive." Rin answered.

"Thanks Rin~" Toriko thanked his wife, smiling.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

What was shocking was that whatever sent the Villain flying, affected him and him only, not even Kurogiri standing right next to the guy was affected.

"SHIGARAKI!" Kurogiri yelled in alarm as he hurried at the young man's side as soon as he saw him crash-landing and his successive boneless tumbling on the floor until he remained in a very humiliating 'Face down, ass up' position.

Both Shigaraki's arms and legs were broken in various parts and twisted at odd angles, his body was covered in bruises and deep cuts, the right eye was swollen completely shut while the left one had been gouged-out and was still bouncing on the floor at few feet from him, the rib-cage had been smashed inward and even the young man's testicles were clearly burst to shreds while every single hair on his entire body had been torn away, just like his clothes, leaving the young Villain completely naked, bald, unconscious and broken.

It was a miracle he was still alive, and Kurogiri almost expected Shigaraki to soon develop a deep-rooted fear of dogs as soon as he woke.

"This should be enough. You can wrap the rest up by yourselves, this Lord Dog has a nap to return to, my Beauty Sleep shall not be interrupted!" Blackie declared while rising again his paw, and once amused himself with the terror he saw in everybody's eyes once they saw him do that, he patted the air in front of him to blast open a new pitch-black tear in Reality.

"I did my part, you stay alive now. He will apparently miss you dearly if you die, and the last thing this Lord needs it's for his Protegee to succumb to Sorrow. Farewell." The dog said that to Momo AND Ochako at the same time before leaving, still secretly unsure and wondering if he actually helped the right girl or not.

"Holy! That's a lot of damage!" Daigoro said with wide eyes.

"So humiliating!" Komatsu added.

"Again... Remind The System to make Blackie to not be a show off and listen to everything... Or else..." The System said.

"Naaah! He did good, that cocky brat deserved it." Zebra answered, waving it off.

"You can not be serious..." Gran asked him flatly. "Maybe you should be taught discipline yourself."

"He is alive, yes? Some humility will do him good. And be honest, with all the people he killed in your world, you NEVER thought about breaking a bone or two of his? AND of that All for One guy?" Zebra asked back.

"..."

"Thought so."

"Touche." Gran admitted, bitterly.

"Bye, Sir! And thank you for the assistance, Sir!" Tenya, either by good manners or fear, answered with a respectful tone and a DEEP bow he did not get up from until sure the Dog was gone.

"That's one Hell of a dog." Aizawa admitted, finally releasing a sigh of relief once the black tear in Space closed by itself and disappeared.

"One of us?" Toshinori asked.

"To Hell if I know!" Thirteen admitted with a helpless shrug.

"Actually, we kind of know who that dog is, and who he belongs to." Mina admitted.

"You know his owner? Are they some Pro Hero?" Toshinori asked once seen the leading group of the League of Villains being forcefully teleported away by Kurogiri once clear they were now at disadvantage.

"I don't remember one of us fighting alongside a dog, I would recall a dog and Hero able to do THAT!" Thirteen answered.

"Actually, that dog belongs to a Chef." Mina answered, sheepish.

"Uh?!"

"He is Blackie, he is the guard dog of 'Green Cloud Restaurant', a restaurant owned by a friend of my family." Momo explained.

"Green Cloud...Wasn't that the restaurant Gunhead doesn't stop gushing about?" Thirteen asked.

"And for good reason," The Thirteen watching stated.

"Thank you." Izuku answered, blushing.

"By the way, what gender are you?" Sunni asked, "You sound like a girl, but you say you're a guy."

"You're one to talk, Mr. Rainbow Mane."

"UGH! I am a man! I just take care of myself, contrary to these neanderthals next to me!" Sanni answered, annoyed.

The two were slapped over the back of the head by Banjo's Quirk. "Stop That! We don't need another insult brawl again!"

"I was just curious about their gender..." Sunni said, pouting, looking away.

"That one." Aizawa answered with a groan, clearly remembering the annoyance at the man's talking nonstop about the place. It was just food, damnit! No need to be so extreme!

Nighteye too had talked about that place to him, Mic and Nemuri, only in a more worried tone while mentioning the need to give it a deeper look since he found-out how some things did not add-up as they should have when he visited that Restaurant.

"Oh! A retired Pro sent us some help then?" Toshinori asked.

"Pfft! Nope! A Quirkless sent his dog to save your ass!" Katsuki answered, tone full of mockery.

"The dog didn't 'Save my ass'! I was doing fine!" All Might answered, mighty annoyed.

"Suuure!"

"I WAS!" Toshinori answered, maybe a bit too petulantly for somebody his age.

"Katsuki-san, don't annoy the Number 1 Hero of Japan, please." Tenya begged with a groan.

"I was just-"

'You say ruuun!'

"I love that song!" Izuku and Kyoka said at the same time, to then laugh amused at the coincidence.

"A good reason for me to use it for you both then!" Momo said, immediately setting the same song for both numbers like her counterpart did.

"If you like that, there's a lot of Geek Metal out there you might like," Xara stated, being the Nobody of Music.

"Nice! Remind me to give it a look later!"

"Here's one I think you might like, based on the Berserk Series," Xara said, snapping his fingers to play "This Is War" by Beast in Black. "It's an awesome song~"

&ab_channel=BeastinBlack-Topic

https://youtu.be/ZOupfOJI6PY

Some of the watchers were beating their heads to the song. "I'll give the full album that song is from later."

"Much appreciated!" Kyoka said with a wide smile.

"I am more of a classical music guy, but I can appreciate some more modern stuff, from time to time." Nezu said.

"Weren't you a Death Metal fan back in the days?" Nana said, smiling fondly.

"Aaah! The days of my rebellious youth! Yes, I was. Yes, I was." Nezu answered, chuckling.

"I should show you some of Old Gods of Asgards songs later," Xara stated, loving that song from Jessie's world. 'Thanks again Ahti,' Xara thought in his head.

"You are welcome."

"EEEK!"

"What?" Light asked.

"NOTHING!" Xara said, forgetting Ahti was a dimensional boeing as well.

"The name? Oh! Izuku Midoriya, sensei! He is our same age." Mina answered.

"Thank you, Ashido."

"...Why does that name sound familiar?" Toshinori muttered, unsure, as a strange cold feeling blossomed in the mouth of his damaged stomach.

And why did he also fear actually learning the truth behind that name?

Meanwhile – UA – Gym

A tall blond young man was standing alone in the middle of the ample room while studying the tall human-sized sandbag while gasping for air; his muscled body was completely drenched in sweat with fat drops loudly rapping on the floor under him, and in the empty room each drop was as loud as an explosion.

"Once...Once again..." the tall young man, Mirio, wheezed with his eyes squeezed shut and his teeth clenching hard.

"Texas..." he said as his sweating immediately tripled in volume, but also evaporated as soon as a new sheen formed, making his entire body release long streams of steam for all around him.

"SMASH!" The right hook Mirio slammed on the sandbag instantly snapped the thick chains holding the thing up and shot the sandbag against the wall where it exploded in a giant cloud of sand.

"NGH! Aah...Aah...Aah..." any form of satisfaction though failed to show-up as Mirio fell on his knees while clutching his chest, his body dropping the power-up state of the One for All Quirk he received from Toshinori instantaneously.

"It hurts...Why does it hurt? M-My heart..." Mirio gasped for breath as he forced himself to stand back up to his feet.

Still with troubled breathing, a splitting headache and with blurry eyes, the young man silently dragged his feet while walking back to the changing room for a rapid shower.

He needed to ask Recovery Girl, he needed to know why whenever he used that Quirk his heart felt about to burst open, he knew he had no history of heart problems so he knew there was something wrong going on, but more importantly: He knew he had to keep it a secret from All Might and Sir Nighteye, he didn't want to disappoint them.

"As I suspected, Quirk Singularity was a step away, that's why dear Midoriya was the only possible candidate." Nezu said.

"And I guess both me and that other Me made the same mistake and didn't listen. The only difference was that That Nighteye got things his way... And Mirio is paying the consequences."

"What are you guys talking about?" Nejire asked them.

"And what is One for All?" Iida asked, sounding confused.

Both Izuku and Toshinori were now sweating HARD, almost literally melting.

"It should be explained in the next episode," Light stated.

The screen turned off and the lights turned back on. "Okay, thirty minute break again everyone. Go get some training in and keep up the good work," Gaia stated. They all did so, leaving the gods to talk to each other. "So... When should we have those three join the rest?"

"I say we will bring in Toga soon," Light stated. "Right when she's being experimented on in the show."

"Yes, please." Joy said, sighing.

"You have a soft spot for her?" Xara asked.

"Yeah? Going to shame me for it?"

"No, you flying eyeball. We are too much friends for me to do it." The Nobody answered. "And I too have a soft spot for her as well, me and Light write worlds where Izuku helps her before she goes on the path of villainy."

"Good. Who are the other two?" The Eye asked.

"Kurogiri/Oboro and Dabi," Light reminded the eye. "We almost got caught when Aizawa asked about that."

"As long as they don't make a mess, why not?" Joy answered, shrugging.

"They are in another area from here," Xara said. "We're just waiting to help them with Izuku and Komatsu's help."

"Should Twice be brought in, to help save him from his fate?" The System asked. "A villain he might be, evil he was not. The System does not like the Hero Association and what they do to keep people in line."

"He is indeed a curious case." Light admitted.

"We'll cross that bridge when we have to," Gaia said. "He is like Toga in some ways, and they do get along well. They can also help him with showing he's the real one after his... unfortunate traumatic event..."

The five nodded in agreement, getting ready to set up the next part.

To Be Continued...

______________________________________________________________________________

And That's chapter 6. And holy heck, we are around 100 pages...

Coco: "A lot of work, indeed."

Joy: A great deal of work, unfortunately, but I am glad this new chapter went like this, the story is coming along nicely.

Indeed. Now next to work is Izuku's Dating Game~

Coco: "That is an enjoyable watch."

Joy: That is a very fluffy one! Very fun to read! XD

And hilarious to write about what happens and who he will be dating. But right now we should end this.

Coco: (Nods) "Indeed."

Joy: As always, thank you all so much for reading this and the original story, we hope to continue entertaining you! We'll see you all in the next chapter! Bye!

Hey, that was my line! But yes, we hope to see you next chapter as well.

Coco: (Bows) "Be safe."

See you later.

Please R&R

(A/N 1) I had to add one of my favorite book series, and yes, this is an actual thing in the books for those who haven't read the books.

(A/N 2) This is a reference to Nine for All by KingVesse. It's a good read.

(A/N 3) It's not shown, but one of the people in the manga does look like a younger All For One, and truthfully... I can see him doing this kinda thing...

(A/N 4) Joy: It is canon that Zebra had been arrested for hunting Animals to Extinction, we just decided that since their nature had not fully been explained, making them super dangerous so to give Zebra's past as an Anti Hero a spin sounded good...We hope you don't mind!
