A Promise to the Ninth and Tenth Generation

"Dude, Mabel, your Mom is a M.I.L.F!" Inazuma told me.

I looked up at him with disgust, "Y-You... What? What did you...?"

"Yeah, you know! Mom I'd Like to-" Inazuma smiled.

"Aaaaaand that's where that shit stops, seriously, I don't wanna fucking hear about your weird ass fantasies." Naoki interrupted.

In the lunch room, it really felt like all eyes were on me, especially after what Tenko did last week. Inazuma has a rather... Weird way of trying to cheer someone up. I needed to focus on getting stronger with all three of my Quirks, even stronger than what I got during the training camp. I haven't really slept and I'm certain that everyone around me can see that. How could I sleep? Especially since it feels as of Tenko could find me whenever he wants to.

"Mabel, you haven't touched your food, is everything okay?" Saizaki asked.

"I'm fine. I've just got a lot to think about." I replied.

"A-Are you sure? You kinda got some bags under your eyes." Zakaza wondered.

"I'm sure, thank you, Zakaza. Please, don't you guys worry about me, alright?" I nodded.

Hopefully they understand, I didn't really feel like talking about the situation. I didn't want them involved in this either. The last thing I needed was any of them getting hurt. After lunch, I went to the teacher's lounge to talk to Deku and All Might about what we needed to do about this whole situation. I've been kind of left in the dark on it, even Mom and Dad don't bring it up to me anymore. I knocked on the door before sliding it open, Deku looked over and both of his eyebrows lowered.

"Mabel? Have you been sleeping?" He questioned.

"I need to know what's going on. What's Tenko doing? Has anyone tried to find me?" I quickly answered.

Deku stood up and walked towards me, "Hey, hey, slow down. Take it easy, okay? I feared this would happen, there's nothing you need to worry about."

"Nothing I need to worry about? Deku, I've got a damn super criminal on my ass, there's nothing to worry about? I... I need to get stronger in order to fight him. You have to... No... You NEED teach me more about One For All." I ignored his concern.

"Mabel, Young Midoriya is right, you don't need to get involved. At least not at this moment you don't." All Might chimed in.

"No... I can't sit here and do nothing! I'm not tired, I'm just fine, alright?! I'll go get answers myself if I have to!" I fumed.

I stormed out of the room, I didn't stop to try and listen to whatever reason they had for keeping me in the dark about Tenko. I was going to get some form of answer by any means necessary. I felt someone grab my arm right before I left U.A.

"I'm not going to even-" I started yelling.

I turned around to see Dad with a look of worry on his face, "Mabel, where are you going? You do realize that school isn't over, right?"

"I... Why haven't you and Mom told me anything about Tenko?" I responded.

"Because we don't want to get you involved. You're a hero in training, not a Pro Hero, Mabel. I understand that you feel like it's your responsibility with 'OFA', but all of us agree that we don't want any of you going through what we had to. Your safety is our top priority, not because we've got a job to do, but because you're our children. It'd be a stupid idea to allow any of you to fight without the proper training." Dad told me.

"But... I-I... I want to help!" I argued.

"Mabel, listen to me, please. I've been in your position before numerous amounts of times, I'm not letting you get hurt neither am I even allowing you to get in the line of fire with all of this. I wouldn't be able to call myself a Father if I let you get hurt after allowing you to help." He responded.

Dad rubbed his thumb underneath my right eye, "You haven't been sleeping, I can tell. Don't lie to me, you've been sneaking out, haven't you?"

"Yes... I have." I spoke softly.

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised, neither can I really be upset, I'd be a bit of a hypocrite. You don't need to do this by yourself, neither do you need to do this at all just yet. I meant what I said about keeping you, Ashi and your Mother safe. I don't care if I have to kill, if I need to do it in order to keep you all safe, then so be it." Dad softly smiled.

He gave me a hug, "B-But what about your image? "

"If I cared about my image over the people I love, I shouldn't have even become a hero in the first place. I couldn't give two shits about my image." He replied.

I hugged him back and rested my head on his shoulder, I'm really glad that Dad was well... My Dad! He stood up and patted my head with a smile.

"I just talked to Aizawa, you're gonna be leaving school a bit early. I've got your stuff in the car already." Dad told me.

"Wait, what? Where are we going?" I wondered.

"You'll see!" Dad chuckled.

I walked out of school with Dad, we made our way to the car, we both got in but he just sat there.

"Alright! Heeeere we go..." Dad bubbled.

He placed his hands on the steering wheel and stared forward with maintaining his usual smile. Although now that I'm thinking about it, it kind of looked more like a "Oh Fuck What Is This" kind of smile.

"D-Dad, you haven't turned the car on." I spoke up.

"Oh! Silly me, of course! I knew I forgot something!" He nervously laughed.

He pressed the push start on the car, he took a deep breath in as he kept looking forward. We ever so slowly pulled out off the street. I just so happened to look over at the speedometer to notice that we were going about 16 kilometers an hour. I looked behind us to notice a plethora of unpleasant looking faces.

"You do realize we should be going at least 40 kilometers right now, correct? I'm sure those people behind us have some sort of job to be at or place." I noted.

"I've never driven a car before." He quickly informed me.

"YOU WHAT?!" I shouted.

He looked over at me, "W-What?! I never got my license until after I left U.A.! It was given to me the same time I got my offical Pro Hero License! Your Mother is the one who drives, I don't need to since I can fly."

"Give me a damn break..." I sighed.

Someone honked at us to which Dad rolled his window down and looked behind us.

"HEY, BUDDY! I'VE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR BEFORE AND MY DAUGHTER IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT! YOU TRYIN' TO GET US KILLED!" Dad shouted.

"GET OFF THE DAMN ROAD THEN, IDIOT!" The man shouted.

"OH, FUCK YOU!" Dad replied.

"FUCK YOU!" The man retorted.

I watched as the man suddenly slowed down alongside the other people that were following behind us. I guess they finally got a look as to who they were talking to, maybe?

Dad sat back down in his seat, "He was a nice man. I think we understood each other quite a bit. So, got anywhere in mind that you're wanting to go?"

"I thought you had a place in mind already?" I responded.

"Nope! I honestly didn't have one actually!" He laughed.

"Hmm... Well, there just so happens to be something I've been wanting from the Kiyashi Ward Mall. Like a lot of things!" I decided.

[35 Minutes Later...]

After an extremely slow drive, we made it to the shopping mall! We stepped out of the car and met up with Mom who had Ashi in some sort of carrier.

"Momo, isn't he a little too old for that?" Dad questioned.

"You look him in the face and tell him that, dear." Mom answered.

Dad looked down at Ashi but we were both hit by his wave of sheer adorableness. His smile was just too bright!

"Hee hee! This is really comfy! Mama made this for me, Papa! Hey, Mabel, whadda doin' here? Why aren't you at school?" Ashi chirped.

"I guess Dad wanted me to come with so I was able to leave early." I explained.

We all walked into the mall, I had a whole boat load of things I was wanting to purchase! I rushed into a clothing shop as I saw something that caught my eye. It was a cute pink crop top sweater! I held it up as Mom, Dad, and Ashi came into the shop.

"Can I get this? Pleeeeaaaasse can I get this? It's super adorable!" I begged.

"I do agree, that is rather adorable, how much is it?" Mom agreed.

"Uhhh... It is... Only ¥2,853!" I told her.

Mom and I both looked at Dad, he blinked a few times with confusion, he pulled out his wallet before nodding.

"Alright, I don't see why not." Dad spoke up.

"Yipee! Thank you so much, Dad!" I beamed.

I not only grabbed that, but I grabbed a whole bunch of different clothes that I also liked. I walked out of the store with them with a bright, content smile on my face.

"Okay, I'm done, let's go home." I told them.

"W-What? Are you sure you don't have any place else you'd like to visit?" Mom smiled.

"Nope, I haven't slept in 4 days and my bed is calling me!" I bubbled.

[Two Hours Later...]

We got home with all of my stuff, thankfully Mom drove home, or else we probably would've been home by tomorrow morning! I practically crashed down into my bed, as soon as I closed my eyes it felt like I was standing up again. I noticed that I was standing next to Deku.

"The hell did you get the kid into, now?" A man asked.

I saw that there were 8 other people in the room with us, one of which, kind of looked like Mr. Bakugo!

"I didn't think that any of this would happen! We all figured that Tenko would be kept locked up in Tartarus, I guess none of us realized that we were just letting All For One bloom." Deku quickly argued.

"Daigoro, no need to pester him, alright? Nobody knew that this would happen." Nana Shimura defended him.

"U-Uh... D-De... Ku...?" I managed to say.

"Ah! You're awake, I'm surprised that your able to speak, I didn't think that you'd be able to do that until you got full control of One For All." Yoichi noted.

"I-Is... T-Tha... T... N-Nor... Mal...?" I questioned.

"Well, it seems as if you were able to speak before, I remember you being able to talk perfectly with me. I suppose that's because all of us are present now." Nana replied.

I looked around the room, the only people I truly knew were Nana and Yoichi, I now know another one's name: Daigoro. Nana and Daigoro both sat back down in their chairs as Deku still stood next to me.

"So, we've had to come to a decision. One For All is something that inspires hope and prosperity, in order to maintain that, it must be passed down through generations. But... In order for those things to be kept, we have decided to do something drastic. With Tenko and All For One at full bloom, we've decided that both of you must keep One For All. If you lose One For All, Izuku Midoriya, then all will most definitely be lost." Yoichi informed us.

"But All Might used up his full power against All For One during the Kamino Incident almost two decades ago, how would I be able to keep it?" Deku questioned.

The Bakugo looking man leaned forward, "We'll make sure of it, plain and simple. You won't have to worry about losing it anytime soon. Afterwards, if you all do manage to kill him, you won't need to worry about transferring it to anyone else anymore."

A world free of All For One's presence? That sounds like a lot of nights of peace and quiet.

"As for you, Mabel Leonidus, you'll be receiving one of our Quirks soon." He continued.

I lowered one of my eyebrows, I looked over as one of them stood up, I could tell he was slightly smiling behind his high collar jacket.

"That Quirk in particular is mine, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is En." He greeted.

I smiled back at him, I couldn't wait to see what his Quirk was! I've never really seen Deku use any of the other Quirks besides those whip things of his. As soon as I closed my eyes, I woke up with Ashi looming over me as he ate peaches.

"How long have you been sitting there?" I wondered.

"Fibe Binbits." He answered while eating.

I sat up and he quickly moved to my lap with his bowl of peaches, "You were asleep for a looooooong time! Mama and Papa asked me to go check on you, oh! Also, what do you want from Mr... Kageeyama?"

"Kageyama?" I corrected.

"Kageeyama!" He nodded.

"Oh, tell them to get me what I normally get!" I giggled.

He nodded and climbed off my bed, he left my room quickly to tell Mom and Dad what I wanted. I looked down at my hand as I let One For All flow to it, whatever that Quirk that En has, I wonder how I'll be able to even activate it? I've been trying to figure out how to use those other Quirks that I've been told I'll get, but I haven't had much luck so far.

[The Next Day...]

"Okay everyone, listen up, your Hero Provisional License Exam is coming up. To get prepared for it, you all will be coming up with special moves to up your arsenal. We'll be heading to Gym Gamma to conduct your training." Mr. Aizawa informed us.

We were all dismissed by Ms. Kaoru and we filed out of the room. I felt someone sling their arm around me.

"Hey, hey, look who's all good now! You got some sleep finally, huh?" Inazuma chuckled.

"Yeah, I actually did. I guess I was worried a lot about stuff." I nodded.

Ishimoto looked over at me, "That's good, I'm glad you're feeling better, Mabel."

I smiled at Ishi as we got closer to the changing rooms. The girls and I entered our changing rooms, I heard some whispering going on from the other side of the wall.

"Inazuma! What in the hell are you doing?" I heard Takumo whisper.

"Ssshhh! I'm trying to see what's in this hole!" He replied.

I looked over towards the wall and noticed an eye sized hole in it. I walked towards it and looked through the hole.

"Huh, there's nothing in here! You think someone stored some stuff here?" Inazuma pondered.

I activated my Overdrive which lit my eye up, Inazuma stared back at me with terror.

"Holy shit! There's a fucking glowing eye in there!" Inazuma shouted.

"What exactly do you think you're doing, Inazuma?" I questioned.

"Woah... How'd you get in there, Mabel?" He wondered.

[15 Minutes Later...]

We got to Gym Gamma and got started with our Ultimate Move training. As I was coming up with a move in my head, I felt someone tap my shoulder.

"Hey, Mabel, could we talk about something?" Ishimoto asked.

"O-Oh, okay! Sure." I agreed.

We walked over behind one of Mr. Cementoss' pillars that he put up for us. I leaned against it as Ishimoto stood in front of me.

"You were worried about that message Shimura sent, weren't you? That's why you didn't sleep, right?" Ishimoto started.

"Yeah, you'd be right. I just... I just didn't want to have you guys get hurt. I've been trying to get as strong as possible as quickly as possible, but it doesn't feel like I'm going nowhere. It's almost as if I'm stuck at 30%, my body's gotten used to the feeling of it, so it's not a strain on me anymore though." I replied.

"Then I'll help you get stronger! I know a lot about... You know what... S-So I can help you out with it! I have all sorts of notes on it now in my journal." He offered.

"Y-You'll help me? Ishimoto, you... You don't have to do all that for me." I reassured him.

He nodded at me, "I know, but I wanna at least do something to pay you back for everything you've done for me!"

I felt my cheeks heat up a bit, I felt someone look around the pillar.

"You two aren't making out back here, are you?" Naoki questioned.

"EYYEAAAH!!" We both shrieked.

Naoki started to drag us by the backs of our hero costumes, "You two goddamn idiots better not be slacking off! You're gonna be training with me!"

"N-Naoki! You're pulling on my hero costume!" Ishimoto whined.

"SHUT IT, ISHIMOTO!" He shouted as he dragged us quicker.

"AAAAAAAAH!" I screamed out in pain.

He threw the both of us in front of him, a devilish grin appeared on his face, I knew we were in for one hell of a training day from what I could tell. Knowing Naoki, this wasn't gonna be good whatsoever!
