(Several Minutes Earlier)

"AAAA-AAAA-AAA-AAAAAHHH!" Midoriya yelled as his face flopped in the strong wind that he traveled against, desperately clinging onto the lifeline that is a leg with his entire body. "WHY IS IT WITH YOU AND ALL MIGHT THAT I'M ALWAYS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR?! AAAAAAAHH!"

"HAAAAAHAHAHAHA! WHADDUYA MEAN?! IT'S HALF THE FUN!" Star replied, cool as can be against the wind in her ever so strong pose. "NOTHING EVER BEATS TRAVELING LIKE THIS! FEEL THE WIND GOING THROUGH YOUR HAIR IT'S AMAZING!"

"IT'D BE A WHOLE LOT BETTER-"

*WHOOSH*

"-IF I WASN'T SITTING ON TOP OF A FREAKING UNITED STATES MILITARY JET!"

*WHOOSH*

"HAAAAHAHAHA! CALM DOWN LITTLE SHRIMP, WE HAVEN'T EVEN HIT TOP SPEED!"

"HUH?!"

"HIT IT BRO!"

"Copy that."

*WHOOOOOOOOOOSH*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

"HU-URFF!" Gagging at the immense speed which he was not accustomed to Midoriya quickly slapped a hand over his mouth in order to keep what threatened to spill out from the inside, inside. His head was swimming and with every second it felt as if his strength would simply cease, and he would drop to his death allllll the way down at the bottom where solid ground awaited him. And to think, today was supposed to be an exciting and special day where after a long period of separation between he and the rest of his friends unification was at last calling for him to answer. But now, he doubts he'll even have the opportunity of seeing a friendly face once more before seeing pavement coming at him in full speed.

Finally. Reunion, at last.

The past few weeks have been a tough, grueling challenge, more difficult than even that of his initial training with All Might before the school year. Binding a connection between the physical world and the spiritual that is the seed of One For All proved a much more tedious and difficult task than one would expect. Then again, it wasn't as if there was a living legend that knew every little detail and every little bit there was to know about when it came to this powerful Quirk. To think that even this deep in the lineage there were still secrets to be uncovered, could only bring about wonders as to what else there is to discover about holding this kind of power. And equally, creating an importance in keeping it away from the one who wanted it back.

Leaps were taken with this power in just weeks alone, how many more will be taken within months, years even? Taking All Might as a base reference the potential One For All held was outstanding, the Symbol of Peace's career records were perfect examples of what this Quirk was capable of. But All Might, despite being the embodiment of heroic perfection, wasn't granted privilege of seeing beyond the veil of this power the way his successor has. To think, so much utility so much free will, so much can be done simply with the essence that which is stored inside of Midoriya's vessel, it was a shuddered breath. One that sent chills down the spine when visualizing the amount of change that can be brewed through the actions taken with this Quirk. To change a life, no, more than that. Perhaps to change the world.

But before the idea of changing the world came a much more pressing matter that needed it's end tied once and for all. Outlining and identifying the suspect of the I-Island attack and pinning onto them their deserved judgement. Amidst the training and recuperation back on the island, secrets lied in wait calling for more direct approaches in order to uncover what truths were to be held. Were it up to Midoriya he would have preferred to acquire his answers in much more civil matters, but given the difficulty he faced in order to acquire them it was unfortunate to see no other way. What's done is done however, perhaps in later times forgiveness may blanket over the embers of anger and bitterness.
