(Izuku POV - U.A. Training Ground/ Temporary Monarch Headquarters)

I took a deep breath as I tapped my hand against my knees.

Today was the big day.

Honestly I was more nervous about today beyond anything else I have experienced.

"I can tell that you are nervous as you should be." All Might said in his depowered form. "Even I am nervous about this, but do what I do boy and put on a brave face. Wouldn't want to worry Erika even more then she should be."

"Your right." I breathed out, tears starting to leak from my eyes. "But I still can't help but worry about her. I mean what happens if she dies?!"

"Then she dies. We all knew the risks about this Izuku and we all agreed that that was a possibility. I know that you promised Erika that you would help her, but if she does die she will be free from her curse permanently and I know that you wouldn't want for her to suffer anymore." All Might said sadly, getting me to nod.

"I know, but things wouldn't be the same without her." I sighed out, thinking of the previous month that we had spent together.

(30 days ago)

The day after Erika washed ashore, we returned to the beach with Erika in order to continue my training.

But I was nervous as I saw  All Might with a large bruise on his arm and Erika glaring at him.

"Did a villain do this?" I asked nervously.

If a villain can bruise All Might like that, then I do NOT want to be anywhere close to that kind of villain.

"No it was Erika." All Might said with a glare. "I suggested her help for your exercise today and when I described it she bit down onto my arm with one of her vines. I'm lucky it was the vines as unlike her mouth they do not have rows of teeth. Thankfully I managed to reluctantly get her to agree."

"And that would be?" I asked, fearing for my life.

"We are going to teach you how to dodge. Erika is still capable of spitting out sap, that is thankful not that radioactive. It will still burn though believe me." All Might said while rubbing his bruise and getting Erika to roar at him.

...that was much worse then anything I had thought.

"Your telling me I have to dodge radioactive sap!" I shouted taking a step back.

"It was either that or dodging her vines for 2 hours and considering that they once pierced through skin of the King of Monsters, I was not risking it testing if she could still have that same amount of power on yourself. Besides I believe Erika will take it easy on you, if she thought that this would have seriously injured you then I would probably be eaten by now." All Might said with a shrug, with myself unsure if he was joking about the later or not.

The way Erika growled and impaled one of her vines through a nearby fridge did not help with the matter.

I am going to die!

I had that exact same thought many times before during these past 8 months of training, but this time I mean it!

I was broken from my thoughts when Erika carried me over to her with one of her vines. She lifted me till I was about her eye level with her. She let out a soft roar before fixing me a soft stare.

I guess that she was just tying to reassure me that things would be alright and maybe to prove another point.

That she wouldn't intentionally hurt me.

But evidently if All Might was of any indication anyone else was free game.

"Erika can you put me down now, I believe I am ready now." I said, getting Erika to let out a soft roar before placing me back on the beach.

"Good, now with that settled remember one thing Young Midoriya." All Might said before shifting into his muscular form "Dodge!"

The next two hours were filled with nothing but pain.

(5 hours later -U.A. Training Ground)

I was still feeling stinging all over me from dodge practice this mourning. Despite Erika lowering the power of her sap to the absolute minimum I could still feel some stinging. Thankfully it isn't bruising like on All Might, butI will certainly last a while.

Anyway after 2 hours of that nightmare, All Might has to bring Erika back here for testing as Monarch was beginning to work a temporary base and start finishing the cure.

She reacted the same way as yesterday and All Might had to pry me away from her. He then drove as fast as he could with Erika underneath a tarp, hissing at him along the way.

It was that or explain to people why there was a 12 foot tall plant like being in the back of his truck.

So I was left to continue my usual training methods for the next few hours until All Might came to pick me up, intending to introduce me to the people in charge of working on curing Erika.

It was an understatement to say that I was nervous.

So when we got there I was expecting many thing.

But not Erika chasing a man with red leathery wings in a suit roaring angrily along the way.

Please tell me that he didn't call Erika by that name?

The man immediately spotted us and flew behind me and All Might.

"You're the kid the director said was the one that can calm her down right, then can you please do so!" The man begged as Erika now had her attention toward us.

Her anger stopped upon seeing me and I found a few of her vines wrapping around me.

"Not again!" I managed to cry out as they pulled me towards Erika, who began to muzzle against me once again. "Erika it has only been three hours, so can you please let go?"

The way Erika growled and continued to nuzzle me basically meant no.

"So it is true, you can calm her down." The winged man said in awe, before getting Erika to roar at him. "I probably shouldn't have called her Biollante."

Erika returned in kind by launching a large wad of sap at the man, getting the man to fly away from it.

"That's what you get for provoking her." All Might said in his heroic form, shocking the winged man.

"Holy shit, All Might!" The man said before reaching into his suit and pulling out a photo and a pen. "Can I get an autograph?"

So he was an All Might fan, but still who was this man.

"Now is not the time Agent Aoki." I heard Serizawa order from behind me. Erika stopped nuzzling me and turned me to face him walking up to us with Vivian and a man I didn't recognize.

A man about as tall as All Might and with a scar on his forehead and brown hair and mustache. He wore a lose brown suit and a black muscle shirt.

The way he carried himself told me simply one thing, do not mess with that guy.

The way Aoki paled upon seeing the man only reinforced my suspicions.

"Director, I was just-" "Save it for later Aoki, Dupre is looking for you for provoking Erika. I suggest that you find here and accept your punishment before she finds you. It will not end well for you." The man said, cowing Aoki and causing him to go even paler.

"Of course!" He said hastily before flying off, causing Serizawa to sigh before facing me.

"I'm sorry about that Midoriya, Erika. Agent Aoki is nothing but a trouble magnet at times and his tendency to blunder almost makes it too much to bare at times if he wasn't so effective when he needs to be." Serizawa said, getting Erika to let out a soft roar.

"Apology accepted I take it?" I guessed, getting Erika to nod.

"Alright then with that out of the way, can you please put Midoriya down Erika?" Vivian asked, getting her to let out a reluctant hiss as she put me down. "Now with that out of the way, I believe there is someone that I would like to introduce." She said as the man brushed past her and began to seize me up.

It was only thanks to 8 months of training under All Might and the nightmare that was earlier that I wasn't having a complete breakdown.

But I was pretty terrified and I was sweating up a storm, but I held my ground as best as I could with All Might and Erika right behind me. The later growled with sap dripping from her fangs.

"Gordon I believe that is enough, stop trying to intimidate my protégée." All Might sighed out, getting the man to grunt.

All Might knew this guy? Then again if he was friends with the director of Monarch then it wasn't to strange for him to know a few people in the organization.

"I was just seeing on why you picked the bean sprout over here for an apprentice and got to say not too impressed. Yet there is some potential I will give him that." The man said gruffly before facing me. "I am Agent Gordon and you can only get to call me Agent or Sir, you got it bean sprout."

"Yes, sir!" I said, trying my best not to show how nervous I was.

This man was just that intimidating!

"Good." Was all the man said before walking back over to All Might.

"How long has it been Gordon, 10 years?" All Might asked, getting the Agent to let out grunt.

"That it has Yagi, tell you what. How about one of these days we head out into town and grab a drink like back in the old days." Gordon said, getting All Might to nod.

"Then find it on your own time Agent Gordon." Serizawa said, getting the man in question to nod with a grunt. "Midoriya Agent Gordon here one of the best Agents in Monarch and is the one in charge of the base and subduing Erika should she rampage." Serizawa said, with Erika sending the man a challenging roar.

He did not react at all.

Does anything phase that guy?

"What about the doctors you said would work on Erika's cure?" All Might asked Serizawa.

"They are right here." Principal Nezu said as he approached from behind Serizawa along with two other people in lab coats. An old man with a slightly hunched back, and a tall man with blond hair." Sorry we were late I was just catching up with an old friend, isn't that right Shinzo."

"That it is Nezu." An old man said with a smile before turning to face Izuku. "So you are the one who found Erika then. My name is Dr. Shinzo Mafune, head geneticist of Monarch."

"And I am Dr. Yujiro Tōga, head haematologist of Monarch." Yujiro said with a small smile, a fang peeking out from underneath.

There was something a little off putting about the man, but I can't put my finger on it.

"Nice to meet you two." I said, getting the two the nod and Erika to growl at Yujiro.

"The two of us are in charge of finishing Dr. Shiragami's cure. Judging by the notes and the fact we could have practically an infinite amount of genetic material from Erika with her regenerative capabilities then we could be finished with her cure within the month." Tōga said, get my breath to hitch.

They could get the cure done that soon!

I figured that Serizawa would have had probably some of the best scientists around, but to be finished within a month!

"The two of us have combed over Shiragami's notes and have determined that we can finish the cure soon, but there is a small problem."  Mifune said with a sigh. "A page of his notes is missing."

...what!

Erika let out an ear piercing roar at that and her vines started to lash out at some of the nearby buildings. She stopped after a few seconds, deciding not to rampage.

Though she settled for wrapping one of her vines around me and trying to pull me back towards her.

Why does she keep doing this to me!

"Erika knock it off." All Might sighed out as he grabbed onto her vine.

"So please explain why there is a page missing." Serizawa said, ignoring my plight.

"The reason why he mentioned it on the last page, Shiragami took it out out of fear that if the completed cure was ever made then there would be those who would weaponize it." Toga said, stopping all doubt and causing Erika's grip to loosen.

That was a valid reason, he had lost Erika the first time due to people going after his work and the very start of the series of events that turned her into Biollante.

"Smart man." Gordon grunted out, getting everyone to nod and Erika to let out an annoyed grunt.

"But it will be difficult to finish the cure if we can not finish the cure." Mifune sighed out.

"Then work with what you have and then we can figure it out from there. As for the cure, when can you two start?" Serizawa asked.

"Tomorrow when we get everything set up." Toga said, getting the director to nod.

"That is what I want to hear, now I believe that it might be good to study up on Erika's biology." Serizawa said before a girlish scream broke out in the background. "I believe that Agent Dupre found Aoki, Gordon if you would please make sure he is alright. Last time she ruffed him up, he spent 2 days in hospital bed and wasn't mission capable for a week." He sighed out.

"Fine." Gordon said before facing All Might. The two gave each other a quick nod before he walked off.

"Well if that is all I best be going, someone's going to have to patch up that idiot." Toga said before turning to follow Gordon.

"What about Recovery Girl?" I asked.

"She is currently procuring anesthesia, turns out that Erika's biology can't allow her to fall asleep and with how restless she was after you left  yesterday it took enough anesthesia to knock out 5 grown men and enough sleep gas to drain Nemuri dry that she was able to fall asleep and good thing too, so many teeth!" Nezu said, a little hauntedly at the end.

I guess she tried to eat him again, and the way that she was growing at him suggested that Erika would plan to so again.

"Well if you all need me, I'm going to see if Ken is finished with helping to finish with Monarch's base and Erika's temporary home." Nezu said before sprinting off, probably not risking any chances of it happening again.

"We should do the same, have to make sure this base is up to protocol." Serizawa said before walking away with Vivian follow suit. "Dr. Mifune are you coming?"

"In a few minutes, I wish to have a few minutes with Midoriya over here." He said, surprising both me and All Might.

What did he wish to talk with me about?

"Very well then." Serizawa said as the two walked away.

"Now then, I believe that you can drop the guise All Might." Mifune said, shocking us, especially All Might who dropped his form in shock and coughed up blood.

"How!" The both of us chorused in shock.

"Simple, an old friend of mine told me about you once he heard about me going back to U.A." Mifune said, getting All Might to pale. "He say that you better visit him soon or better yet call him or he will come to you."

"Of course, in fact I will get on it soon." All Might said...fearfully.

Just who was capable of scaring All Might like this!

"Try to do so by the end of the day." Mifune said, getting the Number One Pro Hero to nod rapidly. "Now as for you Midoriya I have to say it is truly an honor to met you."

"And why is that?" I asked as Erika tried to wrap me once again with a vine.

"It is for one reason only, it is that I am glad to have met  you accomplished a childhood dream of mine decades before I did by finding Erika." Mifune said happily.

Wait he couldn't mean.

"You found a Kaiju?" I asked incredulously, getting Erika to let out a small roar in return.

"I did 5 years ago in fact, hibernating on the ocean floor. I was laughed out by the scientific community though, believing that all the Kaiju died out centuries ago despite evidence proving otherwise. Monarch believed me, I helped them find it, and in return I was hired into the organization. Though I did believe that I would never see an awakened Kaiju in my lifetime, but low and behold one right before my eyes and I have the have to chance to cure her. I have almost lived a full life." Mifune said, wiping a tear away from his eyes.

Erika growled at him, wether for nearly tripping a line at her or for happiness I could not tell.

There is one thing that I was hung up though.

"You found a Kaiju?" I asked in shock.

"That is correct, however it is hibernating on the ocean floor and was the first Kaiju discovered in over a century. Erika is the first one discovered to be awake." Mifune said with a smile, but it quickly turned into a frown. "Though I believe that might change sooner or later."

"So you think that there might be another Age of Kaiju?" I asked a little fearfully. The world barely lasted the last one and it took over 200 years to recover from the last one.

"Maybe, but it would answer some things." Mifune said with a sigh. "Including Erika there have been over 3 Kaiju found in the past 3 years." He said before looking over to the shadows. "Do you believe I should tell them?"

Before we could question him, a static buzzing sound filled our ears and made Erika growled in annoyance before it cleared up.

"Looks like she is given me the all clear." Mifune said.

"And I take it that this she is this Agent Dupre that Serizawa keeps talking about?" All Might said, making me nervous. 

I only have what everyone else say about her to go on and it wasn't pretty picture and Agent Aoki's screams from earlier only made it worse. Add in that her ability to manipulate sound was about as great as I thought it would be, I am not thrilled at meeting her.

"You are correct, word of advice though do not get on her bad side. She does not suffer fools easily." Mifune sighed out. " But what I am about to tell you is confidential information. You two must not tell anyone about this, am I clear?"

"Of course."  I said, with All Might nodding in agreement.

"It has do deal with a Kaiju awakening doesn't it?" All Might asked, getting Mifune to nod.

"It was from the 2nd Kaiju we discovered during these past few years not that far from here, in a lake in the Aomori Prefecture dating back nearly 200 million years ago. So whatever this Kaiju is pretty much ancient. Nobody has seen what it looks like physically except for fossils of possible other members of its species. What we do know is that smaller then most Kaiju and is incredibly ancient. There have been signs of activity on the lake bed these past few months, but the environment down there is an inhospitable place for humans to explore even without the risk of waking whatever is down there up. So it is possibly only a matter of time until Erika won't be the only Kaiju awake anymore." Mifune said grimly, not that I blame him.

Another Kaiju awakening, that is something that could go literally anywhere.

During the Age of Kaiju they were literally all over the spectrum with ranginging from protecting and saving humans, to defending their former territories, to hunting humans for sport, or for attempting genocide out of nothing but sheer malice.

It was basically a role of the dice whenever a Kaiju awakens.

I can only hope that this one is benign or else we could all possibly be in for another world ending threat.

I was broken from my thoughts when a telephone rang from inside Mifune's coat.

"I better take this and I suggest you call Sorahiko soon or else." Mifune said before walking off, getting All Might to pale.

Seriously who was this person that was capable of doing that.

"Shit, he is right!" All Might spat out along with some blood. "Young Midoriya I am going to leave you with Erika for a few minutes. I need to make a call and acquire a 1 pointer for your training today."

"So are you going to leave me with Erika?" I asked.

"That and if what happened earlier was of any indication the this Agent Dupre as well." All Might said, getting me to sigh.

So I was alone with Erika and a highly trained agent who could probably kill me if she wanted to from the shadows alone, well that is just great.

Well at least I have Erika here, so I guess I was safe.

"I'll be back." All Might said while walking off, muttering something under his breath.

With him gone I allowed myself to collapse backwards onto Erika's vines as she pulled me closer.

This past half an hour had been almost too much for me to handle.

From old friends, a missing part of the cure, questionable characters, a Kaiju possibly awakening up soon and not that far from here, and someone capable of scaring All Might.

I need a break.

Erika let out a soft growl as she pulled me towards her, I guess she understands what I'm thinking about.

Still two days ago all I was thinking about was becoming a hero, now though...it was manly the same. But a whole new door had been opened to me.

I still had the goal of becoming a hero, but now I wish to help Erika as well and nothing will stop me from reach my goals.

Erika let out a soft growl as she lowered me onto the ground and I leaned against one of her vines.

I know that I have to get ready and stretch before going though the grueling task of shutting down the robot again. But for now all I wanted to do was be around Erika for just a few moments. Something that she seemed to agree with as well.

(Present)

After that day things kind of went into a routine for a while.

Training at the beach and dodge practice with Erika for two hours (shivers), more training, school, hanging out with Erika for a bit at U.A., training with the robot for an hour, and then back to the rest of my schedule before meeting Erika.

While I was not with her, Erika was monitored by a teacher of U.A. per day and several agents including Aoki. From what I can tell she seemed to have a habit at snapping at him if he got too close, something probably due to the fact that she was still sore at him for calling her Biollante. Besides that everyone at the very least seemed to tolerate her, though I am told she is a bit more violtile without myself around.

Considering how affectionate she gets, I can see that.

Serizawa, Vivian, and Agent Dupre left the next day, but they continue to check up on progress from Gordon, All Might, Nezu, the Docters, or myself about Erika's status. Well the former actually, haven't seen any sign of Agent Dupre at the time and I believed she might be checking on the base without being detected.

Something that she later confirmed herself, but none the less equally unnerving.

Mifune and Toga spent most of the time working on the cure. I spoke with them on occasion and manly away from Toga. No hard feelings against him, he seemed like a good man, but even Mifune admits that the man has an questionable presence around him.

Still they get along surprising well, having been partners since Mifune joined Monarch and spent most of the time working in were they tell me their main bases is, in Antarctica.

Considering what emerged there during the Age of Kaiju and the fact I've only heard of a mention of a fourth Kaiju under their watch...I had a possible idea of what was under the ice and prayed to all the gods that whatever is possibly there NEVER SEES THE LIGHT OF DAY OR WE WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!

...okay I think I am good now.

Aside from them, I make an effort to afford Gordon like I could, that man is very intimidating and for good reason as I learned not even a week after meeting him.

Besides that things progressed through that same routine minus a few events. Some of them fun and some of the tense. One of them that makes me flush beet red whenever I think about it...and praying that Kaachan never found out.

Still I would never trade those days for anything, until that day came.

A day that we had to make a difficult choice.

One that I hope will play out alright.

<—— To be continued...——

(Chapter 3 end)

Hey guys Mukuro7 here and I hoped that you enjoyed this new chapter.

First off I would like to say we have reached the Cure arc, a three chapter arc spanning the month between the last chapter and the beginning of this one. This will mainly be to introduce characters and to develope the romance of Izuku and Erika...and a few members of his harem albeit unknowingly. This along with a fair amount of drama will become paramount next chapter and especially the one after it. I hope you all will enjoy the next two chapters, but now let us go over a few things.

As you can tell we had some major revelations here about Monarch and the Kaiju they are looking after right now, something I guess only a true Godzilla fan would recognize or something someone really observant would notice.

Also as you can notice the characters in Monarch are from different forms of Godzilla media with Serizawa and Vivian being obvious along with Gordon. If you can recognize the rest, I will honestly be a little surprised.

Except for one Yujiro Toga, who's relation you can guess immediately and will be fleshed out a bit next chapter...along with the resident gandered that is will make an appearance. So please keep the fan screaming to a minimum until after the A.N.

Now onto the Kaiju, I have decided that there will be a certain amount of Kaiju in this story, a whole whopping 8 with 5 of them already known or hinted at including Erika. I think I left enough hints to clue in on which ones Monarch has under there care, but I will say one thing and that nothing is all that it seems.

Finally onto the harem and that is...

Female Shōto!

The only gender bender I am willing to do for this fic...the online comic was just amazing so here she is.

Anyway that is all for now, leave a review and I will get back to you when I can. 

So until next time...which will be a bit since I just discovered the To Aru series of anime and might plan something on that.

So besides that until then, ciao!
