Author-chan: Kudos to whoever knows the voice line.

It's been quite some time since the last chapter took place, 8 months to be precise. During that time, Izuku was told to clean up a beach without his quirk to prepare his body for All-Might's quirk, but when he had some free time, he would help train Mira Takahashi in using her newly found quirk. With that in mind, Izuku was currently sitting on top of the last pile of trash he had cleaned up that day, but as he waited for Yagi Toshinori or Skeleton-Might, he just looked at the sunset that made the ocean glisten, truly a beautiful scene.

'Athena, you're at home right now, correct?' He asked through the mental link he shared.

'Yes, is there something you need?' She replied although Izuku could only hear her voice in his head.

'I have a month before the exam, so I'm thinking of going out for a patrol. Maybe I'll make a name for myself before I get to UA.' He joked a bit but as Athena was also the Goddess of Law & Justice, Courage, and Inspiration, she could only wonder how this would affect her vessel.

'Fine, but come home then we'll set out at night. If anything goes wrong or you get severely injured, I'm going to take you everywhere in my physical form.' She ordered as Izuku could feel sweat running down his forehead at the thought of having to go literally everywhere with Athena.

Fun Fact: Athena in Greek Mythology is a virgin.

Either way, Izuku cut the link as he heard the sound of a truck driving towards the beach before stopping close by. So he stood on top of the pile in his workout gear, just without the top to reveal his muscled body and well-developed 6-pack.

"Oh my... Oh my... Goodness!" All-Might dramatically shouted as he turned into his buff form for a second to make it even more dramatic. But Izuku interrupted it as he jumped down beside his sensei when he puffed back to his skinny form. "Kid, you cleaned the entire beach! And in just eight months! I expected you to finish the portion I told you in just 9 months... " He said while scratching the back of his head in embarrassment at the poor guess.

Although it was true, Izuku was told to clean a little less than half the beach for his training, though he may have destroyed a few piles while training with Mira, All-Might doesn't need to know that. "Thank you, sensei. But I have plans later today so I'll have to go home soon." He said in response as All-Might took on a more serious expression.

"Young Midoriya, this world of quirks has a few secrets kept from the world." Said Yagi/ Skeleton-Might as he looked at the sunset while leaning on the railing. "My power, One For All, is one of them. In the first generation of heroes, there were two brothers; the older one with the power to take away quirks and give them to others while the other brother was thought to be quirkless. The older brother took pity on the other and gave him a stockpile quirk that he stole, but soon enough, the younger brother found out that his brother was taking quirks by force. So he fought his brother but was overpowered by the older one, yet he was spared and sought an apprentice to defeat his brother. Eventually, he learned that his original quirk was to transfer quirks by having someone digest his DNA, which leads to One For All being passed down and getting stronger as it is passed between each generation."

After taking in that information, Izuku learned a bit more about the power of One For All and knew All-Might wanted him to pass down the power as it gets stronger. "So you want me to pass it down?" Izuku asked but All-Might turned to look at him at that moment.

"*Sigh* No. You will be the ninth person to receive this power, but I have a feeling that you'll be the one to defeat the older brother, All For One." He said before plucking a strand of hair off his head. "Now... *Holds up hair* Eat this."

Anyone who saw Izuku's face could mistake him for a ghost that got flashed when they tried to haunt someone. Otherwise, his skin turned paler as his eyes shot open in disbelieve, but All-Might slapped that out of him, quite literally too.

"I'm serious, you need to digest my DNA to get One For All. And if you wish to pass it down, you must do the same as long as you wish for it to be passed on to someone else." He said before Izuku shakily grabbed the hair before bringing it in front of his face.

He swallowed down the vomit rising up his throat as his eyes were shaking when he looked at the hair, slowly bringing it to his mouth as he focused on controlling his bodily urges. So using his Body Sumpremacy quirk, he calmed down and put the hair in his mouth before swallowing it in nearly an instant. Then he looked at his hands and body to check if anything changed, yet nothing did, although he quickly felt a pulse throughout his body which made him fall to the ground.

Due to the odd sensation, he tried to get rid of any poison that could be in his body, only making him cough up blood onto the ground as the pain started to pulsate at a faster rate. Slowly, he started to force himself to calm down as he panted and noticed his veins starting to glow all over his body. Eventually, the energy making his veins glow started to glow brighter and more violent, before it became so powerful that it couldn't be contained in Izuku's body and spread like flames around his body.

But suddenly, it all stopped, leaving Izuku panting heavily with what felt like a supernova dwelling inside him and waiting to be unleashed on whatever crossed its path. Yet it was out of his grasp, almost like it waited until he was worthy of its power.

"This power... it's more than I ever imagined... " Izuku said in disbelief as he stared at his hands, then his sensei, who just stood there with a small, yet proud smile. "Thank you, I'll make sure to defeat All For One, even if it kills me." He said as Athena had a flashback to the ending of Kami's Gift although she didn't say anything about it.

"I know you will, but don't you have plans?" Yagi asked as he started to load up the trash into the bed of his truck.

"Yeah... see you later then." Said Izuku in response before starting to run home with a tracksuit on to cover his post-workout body.

After about 10 minutes of straight running, Izuku got to his mom's apartment where he immediately took a shower to wash off and as usual, he walked into his room with only a towel around his waist, but Athena was in his room and looked away blushing once they made eye contact. But Athena left the room with her head down as Izuku changed with a small blush on his face the entire time, eventually leaving the room with a pair of jeans and a light grey hoodie on.

"Sorry, I should've knocked," Izuku said quietly as he walked into the kitchen with Athena who wore her usual white dress as the small and makeshift family ate their dinner of fried fish and a small bowl of Miso Ramen each. "Thank you, Kaa-san. Athena and I will be out for the night." He said calmly as Inko grew a small grin.

"Athena, you're in charge of getting him home. But if you two do something naughty, I'm not stopping you." She said as both Izuku and Athena grew a blush across their cheeks then ran out the door. "*Sigh* Young love... "

As for the goddess and her vessel, they were just outside the apartment and got rid of the dirty thoughts in their head before going onto the roof. Although Izuku was clueless as to what would happen next, Athena kissed Izuku before she was absorbed into his body. And a few seconds later, Izuku's eyes turned into a cerulean blue and his hair turned into a lime-green shade, matching Athea's features besides her actual body.

'Izuku, it may not be much but this should disguise your most definable features besides your body. So put up your hood and start jumping from the rooftops until you find trouble.' Athena's voice echoed through Izuku's head, although he questioned the reality of the situation, he complied and used the Boots of Hermes to jump from rooftop to rooftop.

For a few minutes, he went by looking at a few couples out at night, some families going home, and the occasional hero passing by on patrol. So he kept going until he heard a police siren and started to follow it from the rooftops just in case. And it was a good thing he followed the car since he ended up seeing a woman with the bottom half of a spider, albeit super creepy, a hero team called the Pussy Cats were trying to fend off the villain.

Each of the 'Pussy Cats' had cat themed costumes each with a different color to differentiate them. The first was clad in a red cat-themed costume, her name was Mandalay who could send telepathic messages to select people or anyone in a radius. Then, Pixie-Bob was in baby blue and create creatures out of the earth. Ragdoll, clad in green knew the location of up to 100 people using her quirk. Finally, Tiger the only guy yet in a brown dress still, could stretch and flatten his body at will.

While the villain was pale with black hair and a black dress, but out of the skirt was the body of a spider which made her about 1 story tall. Although Izuku could see that she shot webs from her bum and could climb along the wall, it still seemed like a fair challenge for Izuku's first patrol.

Back to reality, the arachnid woman just robbed a jewelry store but the Pussy Cats were probably close by to respond while the police blocked off the streets with firearms ready, seems a bit overboard but no one really cared. But the villain tried to go for Tiger first before a golem appeared in front of her, which was destroyed with two of her spider legs as she grabbed Tiger, only for him to squirm out of her grasp. Then she turned around and caught Pixie-Bob in a web while throwing Tiger across the street and through a window of the jewelry store, but with probably the most threatening one out of the way, the arachnid used her webs to ball up Pixie-Bob and hang her from a lamppost.

When she turned around to go after Tiger again, Izuku took out his shield before jumping down and cutting Pixie-Bob free, sitting on top of a pile of spiderwebs. "Pixie-Bob, stay quiet and hide. I'll take care of this arachnid." He said in a hushed voice as she looked uneasy before Mandalay spotted her and told her to hide through telepathy.

Once she was hidden, the villain had balled up Tiger as well and was about to go for the support of the team, until she spotted Izuku that is. In an instant, she charged at him and pushed him into the ground by his shield, which actually pushed Izuku back as his feet pushed into the concrete just slightly. But all of the sudden, the woman was pushed back when Izuku used the shield's Reflection ability, so he swiftly threw his shield to cut Tiger free while grabbing the woman's human neck in a chokehold.

"Make this easy for me, I haven't fought a villain in a while after all." He said as the woman used her human hands to attempt to loosen his grip, but that failed as Izuku continued to choke her until she passed out. "This went quicker than expected," Izuku said as he pulled back his shield and jumped to leave but one of Pixie-Bob's gorilla-like creatures grabbed him by the legs, coincidently making his hood go down.

The gorilla held him in one of its hands as it brought him to where the female members of the team were. "Okay, make this quick and tell us who you are so we can give you a ticket for using your quirk without a license." Said Pixie-Bob with her arms crossed as she eyed the boy, but seemed a bit 'interested' as she eyed the boy's body and cute face.

'Straight to the point, huh... ' He thought as he stared at them with a straight face and felt the gorilla tighten its grip. But he tried to find that supernova of power called One For All in his body as a means of escape, and it actually worked, his right hand glowed along its veins before Izuku moved it a bit and released the power it held. Which completely broke the gorilla's hand as Izuku flew towards the rooftops with a broken finger, but stopped to say something. "If you see me again, you can call me Trinity." He said before flying away and putting his hood on to hide the bright hair and eyes Athena gave him.

'Nice name, a fusion of gods and goddesses, Trinity.' Athena said in Izuku's head as he was about to make a snarky retort but Athena spoke first. 'There's a disturbance in the force! Someone or Something from another dimension is coming into this one!'

'Where is it!?' Izuku said as he started to fly a bit higher.

'I can sense it in the business district of the city. It should be big enough for you to see from there.'

And of course, Athena was right as Izuku flew, he could see the heads of a Cerberus peaking out between buildings. As he got closer, he could see the Cerberus had midnight blue fur and one of its heads was serious (middle), the other barking and angry (left), while the last one just had its tongue out as it panted (right). Using the Boots of Hermes, Izuku flew and kicked the serious dog head although he felt bad for animal cruelty.

But after he kicked the three-headed dog, he landed on top of a building before summoning his shield to block a fireball out of the middle head's mouth. "Fireballs? And I thought quirks were weird with humans, a fire-breathing, gigantic, three-headed dog is just on another level." He joked under the cover of his shield while it blocked two more fireballs. But didn't see the mad head about to bite him, which it did and pulled him away from the shield and kept biting through his body.

The mad head bites down on Izuku's abdomen and leg as some of the citizens started to scream louder than when they just saw the giant dog. Anyway, the head bit through Izuku's right leg and abdomen as it swings him around, but Izuku pulled his shield towards him which hit the dog in the face as Izuku kept hitting it with the shield which seemed to be stronger with each attack until the creature stopped biting him and he was dropped onto the ground with a gaping hole through his lower abdomen and leg.

"Think you're so tough, huh!?" Izuku yelled as he felt a bit lightheaded, but managed to stand up and summon his standard longbow and a white quiver with golden decorations appeared on the back of his hip. So he shakily reached for the quiver as three dark purple arrows appeared and he grabbed them before pulling them back with his bow all at the same time. "Alright, eat this! Tri-Shot!" He shouted as the three arrows were released and found their way between each of the head's eyes before they exploded and the heads were disintegrated.

Then the body of the Cerberus feel to the ground and made it shake, but slowly the body started to dissipate as Izuku limped towards it. And by the time he got to where the body was, only a dark purple orb was left, so Izuku stretched out his hand as the orb was absorbed into his body. Once the orb was absorbed, a gun appeared in Izuku's hand.

If you can't bother imagining, look up the Cerberus gun from Final Fantasy.

The gun was a triple-barreled, triple-cylindered revolver, ornamented with scrollwork patterns, a small dog's head in place of the iron sights on each barrel, and a silver chain in the shape of a three-headed dog with a wing hanging from the end of the grip. Overall, the weapon looked menacing and powerful but Izuku used his Weapon Manifestation to make it vanish along with his shield, bow, and quiver before jumping onto the roof to allow Athena to heal him without disturbing anyone nearby.

'Athena, what was that gun?' Izuku asked as he leaned against an air ventilation system on top of the roof he landed on.

'I can answer that for you.' Said a different voice that sounded a little crazy yet feminine. 'Your little Weapon Manifestation turned that Cerberus into a weapon. Oh, sorry I'm Eris or Discordia if you want to call me something else, but I'm the goddess of chaos! And I'll be using you as a vessel.'

'As if Athena's snarky comments weren't enough, now I got a crazy Goddess in my body.' He complained as both goddesses started to get agitated.

'I might as well take your new quirk away!' Eris shouted.

'I thought you loved me!' Shouted Athena in response as she temporarily stopped healing Izuku then started again.

'It's a joke!' He mentally screamed as the two seemed to calm down. 'But what new quirk, Eris?'

'Just a simple one called Combo Star. So your strikes will get stronger if you keep hitting someone, but once you get hit or stop attacking for more than a minute the combo stops.' She explained as Izuku imagined how strong he would get with the combos. 'Quite a monstrous power if you ask me. Especially since it will go up by a percentage of 5% each time!'

And as Izuku's deadly injuries closed up and healed, he chuckled a bit before flying towards his home to sleep on this whole ordeal.

~ Combo Breaker! ~

A/N: Another chapter and I will try to make chapters at least or around 3,000 words. But I hoped you enjoy the story so far with a big puppy biting Izuku.

New Quirk
Combo Star (Requested) - As Izuku attacks someone his attacks will grow stronger by a rate of 5% each time. But if he is attacked or takes a break for longer than a minute, his combo will reset or break.

Chapter's Question
What mythical or legendary creature should Izuku fight and what weapon will he get from it before he goes to UA in about a month?
