3 Hell's Training

Reina wasn't one for early mornings though she felt that she had to make an exception considering what she was about to go through. The minute she had woken up, she threw on a simple grey t-shirt with skinny jeans and a black hoodie to cover the cast on her arm, and covered her eye on her forehead; she than tied her hair back and threw on a red baseball hat.

She made simple toast and slapped butter on it making sure that she left a note for her guardian before proceeding out the door and putting on her roller blades. She looked onto her phone and read the text that she had gotten.

"Izuku-kun is with him already." She said as she went down the block like an ice skater in a race, "Man I can't believe I almost overslept again! Hopefully he won't scold me. I've got enough on my plate as it is when I get home."

As she went down the street she couldn't help but think back to the news that she and her friends had heard just two days prior, as a certain someone told Izuku he had been worthy to inherit.

***

-Two Days Earlier-

"Young man… You're worthy to inherit my power."

The words stuck to Reina and Floyd like a head in a vice. They just couldn't believe what All Might had suggested to Izuku. Though Izuku himself was lost in his own thoughts as he was covered in his own tears and snot as his jaw was wide open slightly.

"Did I… Hear you right?" Reina asked.

Floyd had added, "Did you just say, what I think you said?"

"Inherit…" Izuku said, "Your power…?"

All Might laughed, mainly at Izuku, "What's with that face?" He asked, "It's just a suggestion the real show starts after this."

"What do you mean by the real show?" Reina asked curiously.

"Now that's a decision that your friend has to make young Nouki." All Might replied, "He has to decide… WHETHER OR NOT HE'S WORTHY TO INHERIT MY POWER!" Just as he said this, blood started to come out of his mouth again, making the three of them jump.

"It happened again…" She said.

"Of course it did…." Floyd said slumping over slightly.

"Ho-hold on!" Izuku stammered, "What are you saying exactly?"

All Might coughed a little before wiping the blood away from his chin, before replying, "I'm talking about my power young man." The three of them gasped lightly at this before All Might had continued, "You see, the tabloids called my Quirk 'superhuman strength' or a 'boost'. I constantly dodged the question when they asked me in interviews with a funny joke. The reason why I do this is because the Symbol of Peace All Might had to be a natural-born hero. But young children, I'll tell you the truth."

"The truth?" The three of them said in unison.

What All Might had said next had taken the three of them by surprise as he looked to the sky, "My Quirk… Has been passed down to me like a sacred torch."

Their eyes widened in shock at this newfound information. A person's Quirk being passed down!? That was absurd, they all thought in their heads. Though they had heard about some kids having something similar to their parents Quirks though having to inherit, that was a different story altogether!

"You mean to say…" Reina said as she slowly stood up, "... Someone… Actually gave you a Quirk, like in a literal sense?"

"Correct young Nouki!" All Might said, "Now you're catching on!"

Floyd had said, trying to process the information, "Dude… That's some real stuff there."

"It is real, young Aihara!" He said to Floyd, "And now it is your friend's turn."

"Whoa! Whoa!" Izuku said, "Hold on a second! It's true that your Quirk is something hotly debatable as one of life's great mysteries! So much so that not a day goes by when I don't see someone talking about it online!" It hadn't been long before he started to mutter aloud, making the situation awkward, "ButIreallydon'tunderstandwhatyoumeanI'veneverheardofanythinglikethatbeforeinmylife!That'snotevensomethingnotbroughtupinanydebates.WhileitistruethatpeoplelikeReina-chancangetQuirksatbirth,isitevenpossibleforsomeonetobeactuallygivenaQuirk?"

"Oh boy…" All Might said as Izuku continued to mumble aloud, "... Is he okay?"

"He's…" Reina replied hesitantly, "... He's fine."

Floyd had added, "This happens a lot..."

"NONSENSE!" All Might exclaimed, making the three of them jump again, "I may hide a lot of things but I don't lie! The power transfer is the Quirk that I inherited. I was crowned… With One For All."

"One For All?" The three of them said at the same time.

Floyd had said, "Where did I heard that before?"

Reina thought to herself as the word sounded familiar, "One… For All?" Her head had hurt a little as she saw images that were unclear. Though they didn't seem to notice as All Might continued, "That's right! One person cultivates the power and passes on from one person to the next. It is the crystallization of power that spins together voices of those who need help with a courageous heart.

"Why… Are you giving me something so great?" Izuku asked.

Floyd couldn't help but add, "Yeah and Izuku out of all people… No offense."

"No! I'm with you!" Izuku said to Floyd.

All Might had soon replied, "Truth be told, I've been looking for a successor. And then I thought it would be alright if you were to inherit it. You're just a Quirkless hero fanboy, but you were more heroic than anyone else back there!" Izuku felt his tears come back, before All Might had said awkwardly, "Never mind! It's up to you anyway!"

Floyd said facepalming himself, "That's basically repeating the same thing."

"I'll do it." Izuku suddenly said as he stood up and wiped away his tears.

"You decided that quickly?!" Floyd exclaimed.

All Might on the other hand smirked at this, "An immediate reply… That's what I thought you would say!"

"Man welp this is actually happening!" Floyd said, "Hey Reina can you believe--"

Floyd cut himself off when he saw Reina in pain, as All Might and Izuku took notice of her distress as well. "Reina-chan?" Izuku asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"Huh?" Reina said, picking up her head, shaking it a little, "Oh yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, what were we talking about?"

Floyd said as he slapped her on the head, "DUMMY! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU OVERDO IT WITH YOUR QUIRK! WEREN'T YOU LISTENING TO WHAT ALL MIGHT WAS SAYING A FEW MOMENTS AGO?!"

"IT'S NOT THAT, YOU DINGUS INK BOY!" Reina yelled, as she hit him back, "AND FURTHERMORE THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY!"

Floyd couldn't help but yell back, "OKAY MOM!"

"Uhh… Is it always like this with these two?" All Might asked Izuku.

Izuku replied as he tried to get them to stop fighting, "Yes unfortunately! It's been like that for two years. Some say they fight like a married couple."

"WE'RE NOT MARRIED!" They both yelled starling Izuku before they went back to fighting again.

All Might watched as the two started to engage in a fight looking at Reina in particular, as he couldn't help but think to himself, "I can't believe that she's grown up to be so beautiful. He did a good job in raising her right. Though her personality...."

All Might couldn't help but chuckle to himself as watched Izuku get in between them to stop them from arguing.

"She really is a lot like you… Alcina."

***

-Present-

Reina had soon arrived at the beach where she and her friends were supposed to meet up with All Might. Though she was shocked to find what appeared to be a whole mountain of trash as far as the eye could see as she felt the breeze. She looked to see how far it went and it practically went to the far end of the beach and even to the opposite side as well.

"Umm…" Reina said looking at her phone again, "... Is this really the right place?"

She soon got her answer as she heard the sound of Izuku grunting followed by a familiar voice that had said, "Hey! Hey! Hey! This is such a comfy fridge to sit on!"

"FRIDGE!?" She exclaimed.

Reina quickly got off her roller blades and put on her sneakers before running onto the beach. She followed the sounds of Izuku and her jaw dropped at what she had seen. All Might in his Hero form had been sitting on top of an old refrigerator while Izuku had been pulling it. He looked like he was struggling to do so.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Reina yelled.

"Oh young Nouki!" All Might said, "Your timing is impeccable!"

"DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT TALK! WHY ARE YOU HAVING IZUKU-KUN PULL A FRIDGE LIKE HE'S A MULE!?"

"That's simple! It's training!"

"YOU CALL THIS TRAINING!?"

Soon enough Floyd arrived on the scene and he too was taken back by the fact that Izuku was pulling a fridge with All Might on top of it. Floyd had yelled, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! BOOT CAMP?!"

"Good morning Young Aihara!" All Might said, ignoring his question completely, "Nice of you to join us!"

"Oh Floyd-kun, you're here." Reina said before she took notice of the many bruises on his face, "What in the world happened to you?"

"Mom happened..." Floyd replied, "She found out about what I did and I got the punishment of a lifetime."

"Yikes… Glad I don't have a mom like that." Reina said feeling a bit down from saying that.

Floyd soon asked his friend, "Hey, you alright?"

"I'm fine." Reina said with a reassuring smile, "Don't worry."

"So Reina-chan!?" Izuku said as he continued to pull, "Did your Guardian find out about that Villain from earlier!?"

At this point Reina became frozen as she had a deadpan look on her face. Floyd and Izuku got scared when she showed this expression; though it wasn't long before Izuku fell face flat on the floor.

Floyd had asked her, "It was that bad huh?"

Reina didn't say anything as she lifted her arm and rolled up her sleeve revealing her cast. Izuku and Floyd's jaw dropped when they saw that across her cast was written in bold letters, "YOU'RE GROUNDED".

"I woke up one morning to find this written on my cast." Reina said with a deadpan look, "My life is officially over."

"Reina-chan's Guardian is scary…" Izuku said with his voice quivering.

Floyd added as his body shook, "That's even worse than my parents…"

All Might couldn't help but laugh, "That sounds a lot like your Guardian alright!"

"You know him?" Reina asked as she rolled her sleeve down.

"Yes, he and I are acquaintances." All Might replied before taking out his phone as he took pictures of Izuku, "Anyway, onto more important things… You all might be wondering why I called the three of you out here on the beach today?"

"I am kind of curious about that." Reina said, "And why are you having Izuku-kun drag this damn fridge?"

"Yeah All Might." Floyd said, "What gives?"

"Welp, I have three reasons for that!" All Might said jumping off of the fridge, "One is because young Midoriya doesn't have the proper vessel."

This had surprised the three teens, especially that of Izuku. "BUT THAT'S THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE!" Izuku yelled as he was in tears.

"And here come the waterworks." Reina said as she patted Izuku on the head.

Floyd had said to All Might "Nice one, dude."

"Hear me out, young ones." All Might said calmly, "I'm not talking about young Midoriya in general, but rather his physical body."

"Now you've lost me." Reina said as Izuku stopped crying.

All Might soon explained it to them and took what looked to be mug-shots for Izuku, "My Quirk One For All, is the fullest physical people gathered into one. An unprepared body cannot inherit fully."

"Wait, back up a minute." Floyd said, "Suppose Izuku was to inherit your powers the way he is now, what would happen if that were the case?"

"Well Young Aihara…" All Might had said, "If he were to get his Quirk without the proper training, than his body would quite literally explode."

"I'LL WHAT!?" Izuku exclaimed.

"HOLY CRAP, THAT'S EXTREME!" Reina yelled.

Floyd had added, "JUST LIKE CELL DURING THE CELL GAMES!"

"AGAIN, WRONG SHOW!" Reina shouted as she hit him on the head.

"Hold on…" Izuku said, looking around, "... Is that why you had me picking up trash, so that I could train my body?"

"Correct!" All Might said with his thumbs up, "But that's not all! After some research on the internet yesterday, I discovered that this part of the beach has been like this for many years."

"Oh that's right." Reina said, "The currents drift a lot of objects like this on the shore line. A lot of people tend to use this place for illegal dumping since no one comes around here anymore."

Floyd said as he gritted his teeth, "The worst kind of people!"

"Right you are, Young Aihara!" All Might said before turning to Izuku as he went to the fridge before he crushed it flat with only one hand, "Now, Heroes these days are all after the spotlight. Originally, being a hero meant doing volunteer service. Sure, it was boring, but you can't waver from these roots."

As he finished crushing it most of the other trash had gone flying in a random direction clearing the ways in view of the sunset.

"You'll clear this whole section of the beach to restore the horizon!" All Might said, "That is your first step to becoming a hero!"

"Wait, this whole thing!?" Izuku exclaimed.

"But there's trash for miles!" Reina said, "It would quite literally take a lifetime for him to clear this himself!"

"Ah, but that's where you come in, young Nouki!" All Might said.

Reina doubletake at this while Izuku and Floyd merely look at her. "Umm…" Reina said, "... Pardon?"

All Might had approached her as he said, "I'm told that you have a secondary ability that comes with your Quirk. You restrain yourself from using this because of your main ability, am I right?"

Reina let out a sigh, "He told you huh?"

"We've had conversations about it, but you must understand Young Nouki, if you want to become a hero you have to rely on your Quirk sooner or later. For now, I'd like for you to focus on your secondary ability so you'll at least have something to help you with the Villains."

"What would be my training exactly?"

"Simple! You'll help out young Midoriya to get rid of the trash on the beach, with the help of your Quirk and ONLY your Quirk. You can do that without having to show your eye can't you?"

"Yes, but I can't do it for very long so--"

"That is why this kind of training can help you! It'll help you extend the time limit! Oh and don't worry about what your Guardian thinks, he's already approved of this."

Reina couldn't help but slump over this as Izuku and Floyd went to comfort her. "Of course he did…" She said with a monotone voice.

Floyd soon stepped forward raising his hand slightly, "Wait, um All Might sir… Where does that leave me? Do I help out in cleaning up the trash too?"

All Might merely laughed before saying, "Nope!"

This left Floyd to just faceplanted into the sand. He had said in a monotone voice, " Oh… Guess nothing then.."

"Now, now, I didn't say that." All Might said, making Floyd perk up a bit before he continued, "From what I understand you have trouble producing ink for your Quirk, is that correct?"

"Sometimes controlling it is harder." Floyd replied as a little ink leaked from his fingertips.

"Well I was talking with your Mother and Father earlier so we thought up the perfect training exercise for you!" All Might said as he took out what looked to be an ink bottle; The three teens' jaws dropped at this.

"Isn't that…?" Reina said.

"...A bottle of ink?" Izuku finished.

Floyd's jaw was dropped to the farthest as he stammered a little, "Y--y--y--y--You're serious!?"

All Might had said, "Indeed! You already have the physical capabilities of a Pro Hero during your training in America! Think of this as your mental training!"

"MENTAL TRAINING!?" Floyd yelled, "THIS IS MENTAL TRAINING?!"

"That's not all!" All Might said as he took out a ton of paper. "Using your Quirk only you have to draw 101 drawings in order to increase your drawing speed!"

"So that was the other punishment mom was talking about." Floyd said as he slumped over like Reina did before.

"Have no fear, Young Aihara!" All Might said with his smile. "You're the son of the greatest Superhero duo of America! You got this!"

"Yay…" Floyd said still in a monotone voice.

"Man, you don't really sound enthusiastic." Reina said.

Floyd had replied, "You REALLY have no idea.."

All Might had soon cleared his throat before saying, "More to the point, you all want to go to the UA right?"

They all nodded their heads to All Might in reply to this question. "I want to go because it's where you went!" Izuku said with his usual smile, "So… If I'm going to go… I thought it would definitely have to be UA."

"I want to because I want to be able to control my abilities." Reina said, "And if I do, I'll be able to help people, instead of doing more harm than good."

Floyd had said with his fist in the air, "I want to show everyone that this Half-Breed with a 'useless' quirk can be a great hero! And I want to form my own Superhero Team like my Mom did back in New York!" He also added under his breath "And finally beat Bakugou at his own game."

All Might gave them a thumbs up as he said, "All of you have great answers! As you know it's hard to get into the UA without a Quirk. The hardest course by far is definitely that of the UA. In other words…"

The three teens' eyes widened in realization at this as they came to an understanding of what All Might was saying. "The exam is in ten months!" Reina had concluded, "All of us, especially Izuku would have to be prepared by then!"

Floyd added, "And it's a good thing we're training now rather than doing it last minute! Which means..."

"I have to get my perfect vessel by that time!" Izuku said.

"Correct again!" All Might said as he was suddenly holding sets of paper, "That's where this comes in!"

"And that would be…?" Reina asked, "... What now?"

All Might replied as he handed them each the piles of paper, "This is a plan I came up with for all of you! I'd like to call it the 'Aim to Pass: American Dream Plan'! This oughta help you all to achieve your goals! All you have to do is follow this through every aspect of your life!"

The three of them looked at one another before they proceeded to read through it.

"Whoa, even the sleep time is included in this…" Izuku said.

"100 push-ups? 300 pull-ups? A 5 mile run?" Reina read through, "I guess that'll help with the physical part…"

"It's important that you do this!" All Might said, "This can also be a great help to your Quirk! This way you'll have more stamina for when you do use it and not hurt yourself as you easily do!!"

Floyd had read aloud, "Including Brain Teasers, Puzzles, etcetera…"

"Though to be quite frank…" All Might said to them, "This is a super hard schedule. Are you sure you'll be able to follow them?"

Izuku and Floyd looked at each other unsure; though it wasn't long before Reina had said with a smirk, "Compared to the kind of training Scruffy gave me, with my black belt and my kendo training, this will be nothing but a piece of cake! What about you guys?"

Izuku looked up to Reina as he smiled, "I just have to work harder than anyone else, or else I won't be able to! If Reina-chan can do it, than so can I!"

Floyd had soon said with a smile as well, "Where do we start?"

All Might smiled at all of their enthusiasm, and so… The training began for the three of them; the kind of training that many would consider to be Hell.

***

-Two Weeks Into Training; Ten Months Left-

Once more it was an early day at the beach, and currently the three teens were training along with All Might. Izuku was pulling on what looked to be a damaged foot locker, and Reina was struggling to lift an old king sized mattress up off the ground with her secondary ability, as for Floyd he was sitting at the side doing a couple of brain teasers.

"COME ON! MOVE!" All Might yelled as he was in his true form, "CARRY THAT TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE PARK!"

Reina had managed to lift the mattress up off the ground, but only for a few seconds as she felt her head start to hurt and felt her nose bleed a little. She took deep breaths as she wiped the blood away from her nose.

"YOUNG NOUKI, PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT! THAT MATTRESS ISN'T GOING TO MOVE ITSELF!" All Might shouted.

Reina nodded slightly before she started to focus her energy into lifting the mattress again. She kept repeating the process as she did whatever she could to move it; eventually she had passed by Izuku who had still been hauling the old foot locker.

Floyd bit at the end of his pencil as he read out one of the questions in the brain teaser, "Which IS heavier? A pound of feathers or a pound of rocks?"

Floyd thought to himself over and over again as he continued to bite the pencil on his finger; though it wasn't before he tossed the book aside before yelling, "DAMN YOU, BRAIN TEASERS!"

"Don't be like that Young Aihara!" All Might yelled, "You can figure this out! Just think outside of the box! AND DON'T FORGET TO DRINK YOUR INK!"

Floyd couldn't help but groan as he got his bottle of Ink, "Oh yay… Ink..."

***

-Four Weeks in Training-

In the classroom of Aldrea Junior High, Reina couldn't help but nod off as she felt more tired than usual. She had hardly been paying attention to the lessons as she felt herself drifting off into her own dreamland minute by minute while the teacher continued with his lecture. She didn't even realize that Katsuki took notice of how she was.

"Psst! Nouki!" Katsuki whispered as he leaned forward a little in his seat, "Nouki?"

He heard her mumble something incoherent as he poked her a little on the shoulder.

"Nouki! Hey!" Katsuki said as he tapped her on the head.

"I'M AWAKE!" She yelled, making the class go dead silent.

Everyone looked to Reina giving her an awkward look as Reina herself sank in her seat as she turned red from embarrassment. "Nouki-san?" The teacher said, "What did the encounter with the Villain make you sleep deprived?"

"N-No Sensei!" Reina said before looking at her desk, "I'm sorry…"

The students couldn't help but snicker at the way Reina had acted as she did her best to hide herself.

Before anyone knew it, lunch period had come; everyone had either gone to the school cafeteria or had eaten in the classroom. Reina herself had decided to eat lunch by herself instead of eating with Floyd and Izuku. No one had ever gone to the roof of the school, so it had been the perfect place to be alone. Her head had still hurt from all the recent training she and her friends had been doing with All Might.

So far she hadn't told anyone about it, nor did her friends; Honestly who would ever believe them if they said anything?

She heaved a deep sigh at the thought of it all letting the chopstick drop from her lap. She went to pick it up but stopped herself. Instead of picking it up the normal way, she placed her fingers on the side of her head. She concentrated on the single chopstick, trying to get it to move. Though she had gotten to move it for only a few inches from the floor, she felt a sudden ring in her head. The chopstick dropped as she groaned from the pain as she grasped her head as she felt her nose drip a little. She heaved a deep sigh as she leaned back against the fence.

"Damn it…" She mumbled to herself.

She was deep in thought that she didn't realize that someone else had been on the roof. She only seemed to register this when she was handed a handkerchief. She looked up and saw that it was none other than Katsuki, who was looking off in another direction as he was handing the item to her. She smiled warmly before taking it from him, "Thanks." She said, before wiping the blood off of her face.

Katsuki took a seat beside her before he started to eat his lunch.

"I usually see you go to the cafeteria." Reina said to him, "Why? No good food today?"

Katsuki didn't answer her, instead he said, "What's with you today?"

Reina looked at him with a bit of confusion, "What do you mean exactly?"

"You know exactly what I mean." He said, "You, Deku and that Inky Half Breed have been acting weird lately, I'd like to know what's going on!"

Reina couldn't help but laugh a little at the way Katsuki was acting. "What?"

"Are you really that worried about Floyd-kun and Izuku-kun?" Reina asked amused, "You really are so complicated."

"I'M NOT!" Katsuki yelled making, Reina laugh even harder, causing Katsuki's face to turn red, "I just want to know what exactly Deku and Inkhead are up to so that they don't get in the way!"

"Well then, Mr. Number One." Reina said with her usual smile, "We're actually getting in some early training for the upcoming entrance exam for the UA."

"That's not until ten months right?" He said, "Why would you start training now?"

Reina had replied a little hesitantly at this, "Well… Let's just say we could use a little improvement in our Quirks."

Katsuki raised his eyebrow a little at this, but shook his head a little before he drank his soda, "Good luck with that…" He mumbled to himself.

"Actually Bakugou-kun?" Reina said, "If it's not too much trouble… Can I ask you for a favor?"

Katsuki choked on his soda a little before he turned to her, "A fa--fa--fa--favor? What kind of favor?"

Reina shook his head a little before she said, "Well, I was hoping you could coach me in the physical training?"

Katsuki lost the red in his face, before he looked to Reina with a smirk.

***

-One Month in Training; Nine Months Left-

The three of them met on the beach as they did before; While Izuku and Reina were moving the trash on the beach as usual, Floyd was doing quick sketching which All Might had timed to be under five minutes.

Floyd exclaimed as he drew fast, "Oh man! I've never done this since that art competition in the 2nd grade!"

"DRAW FASTER!" All Might yelled, "YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES LEFT!"

Floyd yelled back at All Might as he continued, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMIND ME!"

Soon enough his five minutes were up before All Might looked at what he drew. It was supposed to be a gun but it didn't really look like one. Instead it looked like a child had drawn it on the paper Floyd had used.

"YOU CALL THAT A PISTOL, YOUNG AIHARA!?" All Might yelled before resetting his stopwatch, "TRY AGAIN!"

Floyd groaned slightly before starting again, "Gah! Fine!"

***

-Later that Evening-

Izuku and Reina ran through the mountains of trash with All Might encouraging them while Floyd was drinking several bottles of ink. Though as Reina and Izuku came to halt they noticed Floyd spitting out several gallons.

"Uh… Are you okay?" Izuku asked, a little bit scared.

"You look a bit sick." Reina said.

Floyd said as he gurgled, "Nah, it's cool."

"But you're leaking a lot of it." Izuku said.

Floyd was about to reply but burped what looked to be a bubble of ink before he had said, "Oh God, I'm gonna hurl."

"Well… That's new…" Reina said awkwardly.

All Might couldn't help but shrug as he sighed, "This is gonna take some time."

***

-Three Months In; Seven Months Left-

The summer heat beated down on the beach of the small town as the three of them caught their breath. Reina and Izuku were especially exhausted from today's training as they both felt dizzy from the heat.

"Good lord…" Floyd said, "This is a killer…"

"Oh God… I think I'm gonna--" Reina said before cutting herself off when she started to throw up; most of what she had for lunch ended up hitting Floyds sneaker.

"DUDE! I JUST BOUGHT THESE!" Floyd shouted.

"Sorry Floyd-kun. But I don't think I can--" Reina said before she started to throw up again, this time with Floyd dodging. Just when he thought it was safe Izuku started to throw up as well. Floyd groaned as he said, "Good thing I brought extras sho--"

Just as he says that he started to search around in the bag, he had realized that they were missing, "Hey! Where are my extra sneakers at?!"

All Might replied as he pointed in a certain direction, "I believe she has them."

"Who could have my--?" Floyd said before he was cut off by a familiar voice.

"HEY LITTLE BRO! HOPE YOU DON'T MIND ME USING THESE AS RUNNING SHOES!"

The three teens looked to see a young woman in her 20s with her hair in the shape of a ponytail and brown eyes. Her appearance is Black shorts and a Yellow Tank top with red stripes.

"Isn't that your older sister, Lena-senpai?" Reina asked as she wiped away the gunk before patting Izuku on the back.

"Sometimes I wish it wasn't." Floyd said while gritting his teeth

The woman named Lena approached them, fixing the shoes on her heels a little. She said as she patted Floyd on the head, "Thanks Shrimp! I owe ya!"

Floyd growled as he said, "Bite me!"

Lena soon took notice of Reina and Floyd, and they couldn't help but shrink a little. "H-Hi Lena-senpai." Reina said, stammering a little.

"Lo--Long time." Izuku said, waving a little.

"Oh Lil Izuku! Reina-chan!" Lena said as she gave the two hugs which suffocated Izuku and Reina due to her big chest.

"Hel--MMPH!" Reina exclaimed as she struggled a little.

"Can't breathe!" Izuku said, muffled.

Floyd yelled as he hit his sister, "OI! YOUR BIG BALLOONS ARE CHOKING THEM!"

Lena yelled back at her brother, "OH SO YOU WANT ME TO BEAT YOU UP THEN?!"

All Might shrugged again as he said, "Correction… This is gonna be awhile."

***

-Four Months In; Six Months Left-

Floyd had been timing Reina and Izuku's swimming laps along with All Might who was in his hero form had been surveying them. Floyd had yelled as they swam fast, "GO YOU GUYS! YOU CAN BEAT THE RECORD!"

Floyd didn't realize that All Might had walked to the side until he heard squealing from young women.

"Huh? What's that noise?" Floyd turned and nearly fainted when he saw All Might posing for women.

He yelled at All Might, "ALL MIGHT! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

All Might shushed Floyd before saying, "Quiet young Aihara! I'm trying to mingle."

Floyd yelled, "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING OUT! NOT FLIRTING!"

All Might said as he continued to pose, "I'm not flirting, I'm just giving the fans what they want!"

Floyd once more yelled, "WITH THE WAY YOU'RE POSING, I'M SURE THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY WANT!"

Reina and Izuku eventually both swam back to shore as they were clueless to what was happening.

"That was intense…" Izuku said, before tilting his head a little at what All Might was doing.

"Uhh… What is All Might doing?" Reina asked in-between breaths.

"Don't ask." Was all that Floyd had replied.

***

-Six Months In; Four Months Left (Aihara Residence)-

Floyd tiptoed into the kitchen while everyone in the house did there own thing. He opened the fridge to get a can of soda and from the cupboard he had gotten a bag of chips. It wasn't long before they fell out of his hands, courtesy of his mother.

"YOUNG MAN!" She yelled, "WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT BREAKING YOUR INK DIET!?"

Floyd replied as he rubbed his hands, "Ink only..."

"That's right!" She said, handing him a bottle of ink, "Now go get your younger siblings and older sister, it's time for supper!"

"Yes mom." Floyd said as he got his ink bottle.

He went down the hall towards a room belonging to his younger siblings which had been the twins. When he opened the door he saw the two of them playing video games.

"Oi, Hana, Eliot! Dinner's ready!" Floyd said to the two kids.

"Not now bro! I'm trying to beat Eliot in ARMS!" Hana said as she mashed on the buttons.

Eliot said to his sister, "Haha! Nice joke, but you can never beat me!"

"OI! SAVE YOUR COMPETING AFTER!" Floyd shouted as he grabbed the twins. "Time to eat!"

"NOO! OUR GAME!" Hana and Eliot exclaimed.

Floyd said as he dragged them down the stairs, "Suck it up!"

Floyd soon knocked on another door hearing the sound of loud music just behind the door. He let out a groan before opening the door to a young teen that had what looked to be red dyed hair and wore nothing but black, and he even had what looked to be eye makeup.

"HEY!" He yelled through the music, "HEY SACHIHIRO! TURN THAT MUSIC DOWN! IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!"

"Oh good, it's my older brother." The young man named Sachihiro said with sarcasm as he rolled his eyes, "What do you want now?"

Floyd groaned as he went to unplug the stereo causing his music to come to an abrupt stop, "HEY MAN, WHAT GIVES!?"

Floyd yelled at his younger brother, "DIDN'T YOU HEAR?! DINNERS READY!"

"YOU COULD'VE TOLD ME THAT INSTEAD OF UNPLUGGING MY MUSIC! YOU KNOW HOW IT PUTS ME IN THE ZONE!" Sachihiro shouted.

Floyd shouted back, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THE ZONE?!"

"HEY!" Their mother yelled from downstairs, "YOU BETTER GET DOWN HERE BEFORE YOUR DINNERS' GET COLD!"

"Yes mother..." The two siblings said as they proceeded to head down.

With that the whole family had ate dinner, while Floyd was stuck drinking, not one, not two, but three ink bottles all at once.

"Mommy?" Hana said, "Why is big brother Floyd drinking pen juice?"

Their mother named Josephine had replied with a smile, "That's simple Hana honey! Your father's family friend is training Floyd here for UA. So this is part of his training!"

Floyd said as he gurgled the ink, "Yeah… Great..."

Eliot soon noticed something on his nose, "Uh hey, big bro? I think your pen juice is leaking from your head."

Before Floyd could say anything, he felt everything start to come back up before he stood up from the table and ran straight to the bathroom. The whole family could hear the sound of him spitting out everything from his ink bottles. The twins couldn't help but shudder at the sounds that Floyd had been making.

"Ugh… Gross-out…." Sachihiro said as he rolled his eyes, "... Can I be excused?"

Josephine smacked Sachihiro on the head before saying, "HELL NO!"

Lena sighed as she ate what was on her plate, "Brothers…"

-Seven Months In; Three Months Left-

Summer came and went as the three of them had continued to train. The leaves soon fell from their branches, and even the weather seemed to have changed. All Might riding on a smart scooter with large wheels had been alongside Izuku and Reina, with Izuku carrying an additional weight which had been a mini fridge. Floyd had been alongside them as he rode on a skateboard while reading more of brain teasers in the book while sketching with his free hand.

Reina and Izuku had been taking deep breaths as they ran, but both of them looked far from okay as they continued down the path. Before Floyd and All Might knew what happened, they both collapsed on the ground, out of exhaustion, causing them to stop.

"Hey, what's wrong?" All Might said to the two of them, "There are only three months left! At this rate the two of you won't make it! Do you just want to give up after all of this?"

Floyd had added as he stepped off of his skateboard, "Come on! We're almost there!"

"What do you two want to give up?" All Might said, "Wanna take it easy and rest today?"

"N--no…" Reina said as she tried to stand up, "... We can still--"

She was cut off when she started to cough; All Might soon noticed the way their bodies were as he saw them both shaking.

"Have you two… Been overworking?" All Might had asked.

"You guys don't look so hot." Floyd added.

"Oh we're totally fine…" Reina said in between breaths.

All Might scratched underneath his chin as he had said, "The Aim to Pass: American Dream Plan was to adjust both body and mind to make sure you made it in time for the exams. Unless…"

All Might's eyes widened in realization of the conclusion he came to, "I don't believe this… The two of you… Haven't been sticking to the plan… Haven't you?"

This had surprised even Floyd as he had let out a gasp of shock. He said to the two of them, "Have you two been cutting corners?"

The both of them didn't answer as they tried to recover. All Might had soon said to them, "Overdoing it is going to have the opposite effect! Don't the two of you want to get in?"

Reina was heard laughing a little which earned a look from Floyd and All Might. "What… Kind of a question is that… Don't we want to get in…? That's a stupid thing to ask someone like us…"

"Of course… We do…" Izuku said as he clenched his fist, "But… Reina-chan and I… Can't just get in… She and I… Have to work harder than anyone else, or… We won't be able to catch up…"

"I want to be a hero…" Reina said, "... Like my Guardian… Like you… Like the people that showed me kindness in my life…"

"IDIOTS! The last thing I want is for both my friends to kill themselves because of overworking!" Floyd shouted as he bonked both of them on the head with his sketchbook.

"Do we look like we care!?" Reina yelled at Floyd, making him stop, "No matter what… We'll do whatever takes! I want to be able to do whatever it takes to pay back to all the people that have been there for me!"

"The both of us…" Izuku said in tears, "... Want to be a great hero like you!"

"These two…" All Might thought to himself, ".... They're already looking far into the future… Young Nouki I understand, but as for young Midoriya…"

All Might suddenly turned into his hero form as he picked the two of them up off the ground. "You two are such go-getters!" All Might said with his usual smile as he unknowingly shook them, "I like that! But if that's really the case then you can't really rush things now! But I understand your feelings!"

"I feel dizzy!" Izuku said.

"I think I'm gonna throw up…" Reina said all queasy like.

Floyd had yelled at All Might as he started to hit him with his sketchbook, "THAT'S GONNA MAKE IT WORSE!"

All Might had said, "Oh sorry! But leave this to an old guy to adjust your plan!"

"Wait, you're old?" Reina asked.

"You can't be that old…" Izuku said.

"Am I just invisible right now…?" Floyd asked.

***

Baby mine, don't you cry

Baby mine, dry your eyes

"LEAVE NO SURVIVORS! KILL THEM ALL!"

Rest your head close to my heart

Never part, baby mine

"THERE'S ONE GET HER!"

Little one when you play

Don't you mind what they say

"KILL THE DAMN BRAT!"

Your precious to me

Cute as can be, baby of mine

"Someone… Save me…"

Reina suddenly came too as she heard her phone start to ring. She groaned as she held her head remembering the dream she just had.

A dream like that kept haunting her one day after another, although she could never figure what the dream meant or who the voice who had been singing had belonged to. She never really thought of it before because the dreams would come rarely though… Recently they have been bothering her and more. She didn't really tell her Guardian about it since she didn't want him to worry.

Still… She couldn't help but wonder--

Reina groaned a little when she heard the phone still ringing. She took the phone that lay beside her futon, and looked at the caller ID. Her tired eyes read that it was Izuku. Normally she would just let it go to voicemail, but considering her Guardian hated the noise at this hour, she was compelled to answer it.

"Izuku-kun?" She said after picking up the call, "... It's the middle of the night, why are you calling so late?"

When Izuku replied over the phone, her eyes had slightly at what he said, "Gotcha, I'll meet you there."

She had gotten up from where she slept, put on some proper clothing before she headed out the door as quietly as she could.

***

All Might had arrived at the beach just as the sun started to rise at the beach. Just as he arrived he was met up with young Floyd who had arrived via skateboard. All Might looked at him and saw that Floyd had the biggest smile on his face as if he had been satisfied with something. "Well Young Aihara, you sure look cheerful this morning." All Might said.

Floyd had replied to All Might with a smile, "I think you'll be happy to know I've completed my training All Might! Just in time for the exams!"

All Might clapped at this, "That's great Young Aihara! I knew you would be able to do it! I bet your parents are proud of you!"

Floyd said with his thumbs up, "It was nothing!"

"Shall we go check on your friends?" All Might said.

Before Floyd could reply they heard what appeared to be screaming. They looked up to see that it was Izuku and Reina standing on top of the mountain of trash. Izuku with his shirt off revealing his bare chest and back that had shown muscle definition, and Reina standing on top of another pile wearing a black Nike sports bra with black sweatpants with white sneakers, and she was revealed to have a little muscle definition as well.

Both All Might and Floyd quickly ran over next to the pile as they were in complete shock by what they had seen.

Floyd had said as his eyes widened in shock, "Holy crap.."

"Hey, hey, hey…" All Might said, "The beach is all cleared out! They even cleared the outside of where I told them too!"

Floyd stood on top of the fence before taking a look around the whole beach, "Holy crap! There's not even a speck of trash left! Who knew they would finish until the last minute! I mean Reina I kind of expected but Izuku--Man they're just amazing!"

"Oh my…" All Might started to say, "... Oh my…" He had soon turned into his hero form making Floyd jump at the fact he changed suddenly, "... GOODNESS!"

They both staggered slightly before falling off the pile of trash. All Might had caught Izuku while Floyd caught Reina before they could hit the ground. Floyd said to Reina with a smile as she took deep breaths, "You really went all out this time, dummy."

"Oh hey Floyd-kun, you're here?" Reina said as she groaned.

"Of course I am, but… I guess this means you did it huh?" He asked before helping her to stand.

"Guess we did." Reina said.

"And look at ya!" Floyd said as he pointed to her stomach "You're starting to have pecs like mine!"

"I think they're better than yours." She said as she stuck her tongue out.

"Oh is that a challenge, Ms. Nouki." Floyd asked with a grin.

"Indeed so, Mr. Aihara!" Reina replied with a smirk.

"Ah so I see, they do act like a married couple." All Might said as he still held onto Izuku.

"WE'RE NOT MARRIED!" They both yelled, making Izuku laugh a little with the energy he had. "All Might…" Izuku said looking up to him, "... We did it…"

"Yeah, you really surprised me!" All Might said as he placed Izuku on the ground, helping him to stand, "The both of you did! Teenagers certainly are amazing!" He soon took out his phone showing Izuku a picture, with Reina and Floyd looking over his shoulder. They saw that it was the picture back when they started ten months ago.

"Here's what you looked like before Young Midoriya." All Might said, "But look at you now! You've built up some impressive muscles! The mirage of it maybe barely visible but you've now developed the perfect vessel!"

The three of them looked at one another, all of them realizing what he had been saying. "So… Izuku-kun can get this One For All now?" Reina asked.

"You're exactly right, young Nouki!" All Might said.

Reina and Floyd cheered while Izuku just stood there speechless. "Did you hear that Izuku-kun!?" Reina said, "You did it!"

"Are you happy bro!?" Floyd said with a smile.

Izuku said with a smile before he started to cry, "I feel like I'm cheating… You did all of this for us… I'm too blessed… We're too blessed for this…"

All Might merely laughed as he watched Reina, and Floyd comforted him. "What are you saying after all this time… It was your own hard work." He couldn't help but think.

"All right, you can stop with the leaky eyes of yours. You should be happy about something like this." Reina said.

Floyd had added, "Yeah dude, save the waterworks for another time."

"Now then! It's time for the moment you've all been waiting for!" All Might said to the three teens, "It's time for Young Midoriya's award ceremony!"

The three teens cheered as All Might went to pluck a single hair from his head, handing it to Izuku. "Young Midoriya, "As someone once said to me, 'Something that you recieve is because your lucky and something that you are given is because you are recognized are a different essence.' Take that to heart, young Midoriya. This is a power that you earned because of your own effort."

"Y--" Izuku said as he gulped a little, before he had a stern look, "Yes sir! I understand!"

"This is it Izuku-kun!" Reina said, nudging his elbow, "You're gonna get your own Quirk!"

"Yeah!" Floyd said before asking, "More importantly why did you pluck your own hair?"

"It's simple as to why I did it!" All Might said, "All young Midoriya has to do to inherit my power… Is to eat this."

At this point all of the teens had both surprised and deadpan looks on their faces and for a moment, they stood there in silence as there were nothing but the sounds of the wind and the water crashing onto the shore.

"Huh?" Izuku said breaking it.

".... What…?" Reina said as she started to put it all together before yelling, "WHAT!?"

Floyd had added, "That's… Really gross."

"Well, it doesn't really matter what it is!" All Might said, "As long as young Midoriya takes my DNA it'll be fine!"

"THIS IS WAY TOO DIFFERENT THAN FROM WHAT I IMAGINED!" Izuku exclaimed.

"WHY IN THE WORLD DOES HE HAVE TO EAT YOUR HAIR!?" Reina yelled.

Floyd had yelled as well, "WHAT KIND OF A POWER TRANSFER IS THAT!?"

All Might merely laughed as he said, "Now there's no time! The three of you will be late for the exam!" All Might started to help out Izuku, eating up the hair as he said, "Come! Come! Bottoms up!"

Izuku started to choke and gag as the hair went down his throat.

"WAIT! DON'T FORCE IT DOWN HIS THROAT!" Reina yelled as she tried to pull All Might off of him, "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO!? KILL HIM!?"
