A month had passed since the friendly fights with class 1-B and Izuku had managed to win with his squad that he had. Izuku had continued training in preparation for the big tournament that was coming and he planned on being the winner one way or another. It was also during this time that him and Ochako had gotten much closer than even they thought was possible. Most nights they would end up in each others dorm rooms and the teachers were surprisingly fine with it but pretended not to notice. 

It was the first night in the past little while that Izuku and Ochako wouldn't be staying together as her parents were coming to visit and she hadn't told them about Izuku yet. Izuku was fine with this as he was ready to spend a full day training himself and he had wanted to try some things out. He had just fallen asleep when it began a familiar empty white room was in front of him.

"I know you are here. Come out and say what your going to say." Izuku screamed into the void as the desired person came into view. "Glad to see you remember who I am now. I told you to come see me after Chisaki."

Izuku chuckled. "Well you see you never told me where you were and when on top of the fact that you only ever show up when you want. If you want to talk I am going to go to kamino beach meet there at 10 am or fuck off and leave me alone." 

The figure gave a small chuckle. "Understood." With that the figure disappeared and Izuku slept peacefully. The next morning Izuku waited at the beach and as the time approached 10 there were no signs of anyone approaching. 

"Fucking figures that he wouldn't show up." Suddenly there was a flash of light and a figure stood there in a full cloak. Izuku chuckled at the look of the guy. "Wow even in real life you make it so nobody can see your face. Man your just way to weird so what do you wanna say, I was trying to train today." 

It was fast and Izuku didn't react in time but the figure had its hands on Izuku head and was squeezing hard. Izuku quickly landed a knee into thee figures chest and launched himself back with shockwaves. "I'm guessing you aren't who I thought you were." The figure was on his knees coughing up spit and Izuku shrugged. 

Izuku smiled and walked up to the figure and pulled the hood down of the cloak. "Huh I expected you to be better looking." Izuku said to the man who had no hair burn marks all over his face and a deep gash over his right eye. 

The man looked at Izuku with a clear rage in his eyes. "You understand nothing of the pain I had to go through to get here to help such an ungrateful brat. All you do is complain or be a smartass how am I supposed to help someone who won't take it." Izuku smiled and shrugged. "I don't know but I can tell you this flattery will only get you so far." 

The man snapped again this time Izuku ended up on the ground with his hands under him as the man clenched Izuku's head. "SEE EVERYTHING!" Suddenly Izuku's mind felt like it was being overwhelmed. 

Flashes of images kept occurring and Izuku noticed that the images showed him and his friends dying in a multitude of ways, Izuku couldn't stand it but he couldn't even scream. Then a final set of images appeared. 

One was of Izuku standing face to face with All for One who was bleeding heavily and seemingly begging. The next was of an overwhelming field that was burning. Then the final image was Izuku's head in the hand of some guy who's skin was like liquid fire. 

Izuku awoke on the ground with the figure staring our at the water. "Now you understand the threat. That was the Izuku of my timeline, he was much stronger than any other Izuku I have found. I don't understand why but he did everything with just One for All. The other versions all had powers that made them strong but each one had their flaw that caused them to fall." 

He looked at Izuku. "But you I had hope in, you were unique even among the others. Something allowed you to gain the powers of the others while still being you but YOU aren't the same if it had been him with your power the one from my timeline could of won." 

Izuku stood up. "I understand that you are trying to be good but at the same time fuck your timeline, from what I saw you ran as soon as things began looking bad you ran and hid while many others fought, you thought of yourself and then you realized that he or I or whoever the fuck would be disappointed so you tried relieving your conscience and you couldn't. So you need to accept that you weren't strong enough and that you made a mistake instead of trying to push your problems on other people." 

Izuku dropped into a fighting stance. "Now fight me and I'll show you that whatever that thing was, I will destroy it." The figure smirked and in that moment saw what he had always hoped he would see. "You are right but you're nowhere near the strength you need but I think you can handle the rest on your own." 

The figure rushed at the boy and Izuku launched a bolt of lightning at the man before using shockwaves to launch a knee into the same spot as the lightning's target. The man took the damage and fell to his back and felt himself fading. "Hey kid I just want you to know I think the other you would be proud of you and for what it's worth I'm sorry for the problems I caused." 

As the man's life ebbed away he began turning into sand and Izuku chuckled. "Fuck you, but thanks. You did make me stronger but I would of rather not of gone through the shit you made me go through."
