Blue Speedster

Chapter 2

All Might: "Young Midoriya. We need to talk."

Izuku stood up, a concerned look on his face.

Izuku: "A-All Might? What happened? Did villains attack the school again?"

The skeletal man shook his head. He looked down, his ordinarily piercing blue eyes filled with doubt and dimmed just slightly.

All Might: "No. Nothing of the sort. It'd about One For All, and a person I shouldn't have trusted to know it."

He walked past Izuku and onto the first step of a set of stairs that led down to the beach.

All Might: "Come. It's time you learned about everything One For All holds."

Izuku, not making any noise of confirmation or even a nod, followed his mentor. He had never seen All Might so down, like each step pained him more mentally than physically. All Might may have been the strongest, but he was never good at these situations. As soon as they were a bit away from anywhere they could be heard, All Might spoke up once more.

All Might: "Young Midoriya, tell me, what would you do in a situation where you have to let the most important person in your life down?"

Izuku stayed quiet for a moment while thinking.

Izuku: "I'd probably try to explain as best I can that I don't want to hurt them, but it needs to happen."

He didn't see it, but All Might smiled at that.

All Might: "Good, good. Now, onto One For All. You know how this quirk we currently share isn't one I, or even my master, was born with. What you don't know, is how it was born."

Izuku grunted a confirmation, signaling All Might to keep talking.

All Might: "It started way back when Quirks were still being called Meta Abilities with two brothers. One held a quirk capable of stealing, using, and giving quirks. He went by the name All For One. He was big, strong, powerful, and most importantly, the biggest evil this society had ever seen. His brother on the other hand was small and sickly, too frail to stand up to his more powerful brother. This frail man was quirkless, so in what was most likely an act of pity, All For One gave his brother quirk to stockpile power. It was then One For All was born. Mixing with a quirk neither brother knew was there, a quirk with the sole ability to pass itself on, the two became a quirk unlike any other."

He stopped and turned to Izuku, his large tufts of hair blowing in the breeze.

All Might: "Do you understand?"

Izuku nodded.

Izuku: "Yeah. So One For All, was created by this evil All For One, and was turned into a weapon against him. Wait, is HE where your injury came from!?"

All Might nodded slightly, subconsciously holding the area Izuku mentioned.

All Might: "You are correct. I had thought I defeated him there and then, but it seems our fates were as equal as our power. The Nomus that keep popping up are evidence enough. Humans holding more than one quirk that was forced onto them."

Izuku smiled and raised his fist in front of him.

Izuku: "Don't you worry! I'll master this quirk and ensure he's taken care of!"

A sad chuckle emanated from All Might.

All Might: "Kid. There's another part to this conversation. The one I shouldn't have trusted."

Izuku suddenly remembered and quickly composed himself.

Izuku: "Right! Sorry!"

All Might cleared his throat.

All Might: "The one I shouldn't have trusted was..."

He bit his tongue. What does he say? Does he tell.the truth and say Nighteye, or trust his student is smart enough to figure out something isn't right?

All Might: "It's, Sir Nighteye."

Izuku took a step back in shock.

Izuku: "Your old sidekick!? But why!?"

All Might: "He doesn't think you're fit to be my successor."

Izuku looked confused.

Izuku: "But it's your choice. How does this affect anything?"

All Might: "Because, he knows about One For All. He's threatening to leak it's existence if I don't take it from you."

Izuku stepped towards All Might.

Izuku: "But why!?"

All Might looked up and took in a breath to center himself.

All Might: "A video, was sent out all across Japan. One of what looks to be you, murdering civilians in cold blood. We know it wasn't you, but Nighteye wants to use it to force the public into supporting him."

He heard his student take a step forward so he looked back down, to find a green hair in his face.

All Might: "Y-y-young Midoriya!?"

Izuku: "Take it. It would be bad for everyone if that information got out. If this will prevent chaos, then I'm willing to give it all up."

All Might looked to his student to find a determined face with only a small hint of sadness. Tears began to well in his sunken eyes and he took a step back.

All Might: "I-... I can't! I crushed your dreams once, I will not do it again."

Izuku stepped forward.

Izuku: "This isn't about me, it's about people. If that information gets out, who knows what could happen."

Izuku reached forward and placed the hair in the pocket of the jacket All Might was wearing. He then turned around.

Izuku: "All Might, give it to someone right."

He began to walk away and All Might fell to his knees on the sand. Just before Izuku reached the stairs, he heard All Might yell out.

All Might: *Yelling* "I swear I'll fix this!"

Izuku smiled, and left the beach and All Might. All Might reached into his pocket and pulled out the hair.

All Might: "Forgive me, Izuku."

He placed the hair in his mouth and swallowed. What neither knew, One For All resisted.

Deep in a black void, eight pairs of eyes awoke.

1: "Oh my. This isn't good."

7: "Dammit Toshi."

5: "Don't blame the muscle man, it's that other guy's fault."

2: "Right. I vote we stay."

3: "I second that."

4: "Yes. This boy is favorable."

6: "I'm for it. What about you, Sensei?"

5: "Yeah yeah, this kid could be the last"

1: "We must do this quickly, or we maybe separated from the power completely."

7: "What of our powers? If we go, the next user wouldn't get any of it."

8: "$%^<_/=÷× *)][¥}₩"

1: "Are you sure Toshinori? That will prevent you from ever forming again."

8: "~₩£{/="

1: "Very well."

The golden silhouette of All Might sent out energy towards his comrades, siphoning energy from them. As he finished, his energy seemed to become unstable and split. As he was being split apart, the others seemed to get farther and farther away.

7: "Goodbye, Toshi."

8: "Goodbye, Master."

Then, they disappeared and the 8th split into six different pools of energy, awaiting their use. One For All had changed forever.
