It was after Christmas when the class was to open up a hero agency on Nabu Island. They were to stay there until a suitable hero could take over their duties. The class was excited when they heard where they were going. Many of them thought it would be a nice vacation away from all the chaos. It has been a week since then and seeing that the island had around 1000 inhabitants the class has been handling small tasks for the locals around the island. The class was stationed in an old building taking calls and going out to aid when available.
Midoriya had mostly been playing chaperone warping the class around the island to where they needed to be. One of the calls was for a missing child named Katsuma Shimano. Most of the class was out so Midoriya decided to take it. Warping into the air he looked down onto the island looking for the little boy. He found him on a hill near the edge of town overlooking the harbour and flew down to him.
"Hey, are you Katsuma?"
The boy looked excited to see Izuku but before he could respond a little girl slid down a slide and stood between the two of them.
"What kind of hero are you? Look how long it took you to get here."
She showed her phone to Midoriya. It displayed a timer reading 7 minutes and 32 seconds.
"I'd say that's pretty good though I'm an exception. Not every hero can fly and teleport."
"Uh... still something could have happened when you were searching. Come on Katsuma let's leave these lazy heroes."
The boy looking unsure followed after the girl. Midoriya shook his head and sighed. That little girl who goes by Mahoro Shimano seemed to have a thing for hating heroes ever since they arrived on the island. Always dragging her brother along with her schemes. Midoriya's phone rang as someone needed to get back to base.
It was the end of the day everyone was tired from running around all day minus Midoriya who was never tried for too long and Bakugou who who just stayed at base reading magazines with the excuse of guarding the agency from villains. From the hallway, many of the townspeople came in carrying plates of food as a thank you for their hard work which the class appreciated. Later at night, Midoriya was in the air relaxing overlooking the lit-up town when Midoriya spotted Katsuma running towards the agency building. Flying down toward him Katsuma quickly yelled at Midoriya.
"There's a villain in the castle ruins."
"You want to come with me to check it out?"
The boy nods as Izuku opens a warp gate to the ruins. Walking through Izuku sees a giant mantis thing in the distance. The villain sees them and runs towards Izuku who flicks sending an air cannon at the beast. The blast goes through the beast not affecting it or the blast like it was intangible. Izuku looks around using quirk sight and sees Mahoro hidden behind a wall. The mantis lunges at Midoriya, its claw aiming to strike him down but it goes right through him. Mahoro gets out of her hiding spot with a pout.
"Can't you at least act scared!?"
"Can't really do that when I know what your quirk is. It's pretty good. You could summon any hero you want to scare off bad guys."
"Then why can't I scare you?!"
"Maybe I'm not scared of Mantises."
Her pout deepens as she drags Katsuma away.
"Bye, Mr. Invincible."
"Have a nice night Katsuma."

The next day came around Midoriya woke up pretty early and did his morning routine. After his run, he had his breakfast as he scanned around the island. Looking out toward the direction of the harbour he sees something he thought he dealt with. All for One but it looked miniscule surrounded by 5 quirks along with another quirk to the side by itself. Midoriya ate the rest of his food put on his hero costume and messaged the class that he was going to check something out.
Warping above where he saw the quirks he sees a ferry with only four people who were on the bridge. Using warp gate Midoriya teleported the vessel closer to the middle of the ocean. The villains noticed this and ran up to the top deck looking around to see who moved them. Midoriya turned off flight and fell straight down onto the top deck and stopped with a quiet thud as soon as his feet touched the deck like stepping down from a curb. He walked towards the white-haired villain who had All for One and used confession.
"Welcome to the middle of the sea of Japan. What were you doing going to Nabu Island?
"I am here to get a quirk to bring me back to full health... Who are you?"
"Seeing that you need to ask that while your groupies are tense tells me you've been under a rock. I'm the Unstoppable Hero : Invincible and I was the one that took down All for One. I can assume the good doctor had given you all for one even if it's a weakened copy."
The villain activated scanning as his eyes turned yellow. Looking at Invincible he sees a rainbow of flame shooting into the air. He had never seen anything like this before and it scared him. He turned around to try and run but Invincible was already in front of him blocking his way. The villain raised his hands and fired light purple lasers from his fingertips. The shots curve around Invincible to try and find a weak point. The laser exploded on contact obscuring him from view and making the villain take a step back.
"Everyone surround him. He's not down yet."
The other members ran around the dust cloud vigilant of any changes. The dust slowly cleared revealing Invincible completely unharmed.
"That's interesting I have something quite similar."
'Impure Beam+Dark Ball'
Invincible raised a finger as a dark ball floated at the tip of it. A dark purple laser shot out at the white haired villain who raised multiple yellow barriers to stop the attack. The laser pierced through and broke a few layers but didn't get all the way through. The villain was breathing heavily with purple veins running across his face. The red-headed girl of the group ran towards him.
"Nine are you okay?"
"I'm fine Slice. Keep your eye on him. I just need to get close."
"Oh, no need for all the fanfare come as close as you like. In fact, I'll let you touch me."
Nine looked confused but decided to not do what he said as Invincible reached his hand out. The other two seemed to have gotten impatient during the stand-off as red mummies connected to one of them rushed Invincible who simply waved his arm causing the mummies to unravel. The other member had a wolf-like mutation quirk with bird talons for hands tried to punch him but as his fist made contact it had no effect. Slice seeing this fired strands of hair from her head at Invincible which also explodes. With a dust cloud obscuring Invincible's vision the villains spread apart to find a way to escape the ship. The wolfman tried to fly away with his newly grown wings but green constructs grabbed onto him and pulled him towards Invincible who grabbed him by his head taking his quirk.
[Chimera taken]
Upon losing his quirk the monstrous features he had receded revealed a large black man with the same dreadlocks he had before. He fell to the ground on his hands and knees looking at his changed form.
"W-what did you do to me?"
"I took away your quirk. Tell me why do you follow Nine?"
"He spared me after decimating a city. He said he saw in me what he once was. Ostracised for something we had no control over. I followed so that we can show them who is truly at the top of the food chain."
"... Sleep."
The man falls unconscious and is sent off to the agency's holding cell. Invincible looked around and the other three were already gone.
"So much for comradery."
Using quirk sight he sees Nine and Slice walking slowly on the lower deck and the mummy guy walking around and creating more mummies. Deciding to save the best for last, he warped to his location. The villain was running around using their quirk on any object in sight until he bumped into Invincible who appeared in front of him. Quickly he sent his golems at him which were easily smacked away causing them to unravel. The man panicked sending his minions at Invincible while trying to run away. Eventually, he finds himself at a dead end with a few minions to his name he turns around to see Invincible looking at him with a bored look.
"Well, I guess this is the end of the line."
The villain doesn't respond as he sends his red bandages at Invincible wrapping them around him. The tension in the villain's shoulders disappears after seeing him converted.
"Sigh for all the strength you're pretty careless."
The bandages suddenly exploded burning the bandages in blue flame. The villain's eyes widen as he backs away into a wall.
"Yeah, that's on purpose like how you led me to believe you had no more tricks."
Invincible grabbed onto his head and took his quirk.
[Mummy taken]
"Sleep"
The villain falls unconscious and is sent to the holding cell as well. Walking out from the depths of the ferry he sees a small lifeboat driving away quickly. Opening a warp gate in front of it, it didn't have a chance to steer clear from the portal which sent them crashing back onto the top deck. Invincible warped himself up there and saw Nine on the floor with Slice trying to help him up.
"That's enough games. It's time the both of you not run like cowards."
Nine gets up supported by Slice. Standing fully he pushes himself off of her.
"Then what are we supposed to do? You've already gotten Chimera and Mummy."
"Your intrepid leader still hasn't shown me his full strength. Like that weather quirk, he's got."
Nine furrowed his brow his eyes glowed red as the clouds above collected and darkened. Flashes of light could be seen in the spinning mass. Lightning came crashing down on Invincible arching across the surface of the deck making it glow red hot. Midoriya stood in the middle of the destruction lightning still arching across his body.
"Not b-"
Two large blue metallic serpents flew at him crashing into his palms with a loud clang.
"Bad and along with this I can see why you took the quirks you did. Unfortunately, I'm going to need you to return them."
Midoriya appeared in front of Nine his hand near his face but an explosion launched Nine away. Nine was pointing the yellow barrier at Invincible. Slice was now right next to Invincible. She turned her hair into large blades slashing and stabbing at him but every strike glanced off his body causing sparks to fly off. In the middle of the flurry, an arm reached out and grabbed onto Slice's face.
[Slice taken]
"Sleep."
Slice falls unconscious her hair falling limp as she is warped away. Invincible looked toward Nine and slowly walked toward him. Nine looked at the scene with fear and a tinge of irony.
'So this is how hopeless it felt for them to fight me.'
Nine responded by using every offensive ability he has. Not seeing a point in not going all out the purple tubes on Nine's back began to inject their contents into Nine making the markings on his face recede and he took off his mask revealing an angry scowl. His eyes glowed red and the clouds above intensified and he raised his hand and summoned the yellow shield which shot out an air cannon at Invincible. The cannon blew some of his hair back but otherwise, it looked like a gust of wind blew by. Purple lasers fired from Nine's hands trying to shoot Invincible away but he just walked through them unaffected as the lasers curved around his body. The metallic serpents flew at Invincible striking like snakes as lightning from above channeled through the serpents increasing their speed. The onslaught continued until Invincible was standing a few feet from a tired and almost completely purple Nine panting heavily and barely standing looking at Invincible who had a bored expression on his face.
"Anything you want to say before this all ends."
"I... was going to change this world. No one would have to feel like they don't belong."
"That is a noble goal. Unfortunately, you done it entirely the wrong way."
Midoriya placed his hand on his head.
[Weather Manipulation taken]
[All for One (weakened) taken]
[Scanning taken]
[Hydra taken]
[Air Wall taken]
[Bullet Laser taken]
[Cell Activation (type A) taken]
"Sleep."
Warping Nine back to base Midoriya gets a call.
"Hello, Midoriya speaking."
"Midoriya where are you right now?"
"Oh, just the middle of the ocean. Did our villains take the restrains well?"
"They seemed so... out of it when they got here. What did you do to them?"
"I just ruffed them up a little they'll be fine. I'll be right back I need to park the ship they stole."
---
When Midoriya returned on the ferry the townspeople were at first confused why a ferry was coming to the island so early. Midoriya flew above the ferry and landed near the crowd to explain the situation. After hearing the whole explanation the townspeople were glad that the villains were not able to get onto the island and thanked Midoriya for his work. After making sure the ferry was properly secured he warped back to the agency for another debriefing to the class. Everyone was glad that the villains were taken care of though Bakugou was mad he didn't get to get a hit in.
After that Midoriya warped back into UA in Nezu's office surprising the Chimera for a moment.
"Midoriya what a surprise. Has your time on the island been fruitful?"
"It is a nice change of pace but that's not why I'm here. I'm guessing you know about Nine."
"Of course. Did you encounter him? Is the class safe? "
"Yeah, they're fine. I was able to intercept them before they were able to get on the island. I wanted to know if you can get me in contact with the people Nine stole from."
Nezu was able to do so and Midoriya visited each and every one to return what was taken from them. All of them were extremely grateful to have their quirks back. After returning all but one he warped back into the island.
The rest of their time there went pretty well. Katsuma had been showing up a lot more near Midoriya always watching him help out around the town with an inspired look in his eye.
"Hey, Katsuma."
"H-hi, sir."
"Oh don't call me that. It makes me feel old. That's an Edgeshot pin you have. You really like heroes don't you?"
"I-I want to be a hero. Just like daddy."
"That is a great dream to have. What kind of hero is your dad?"
"The greatest! I'm going to be just like him."
"Then you're gonna need to train. You're going to need to be strong enough to save everyone."
"But my quirk isn't strong."
"Don't talk about your quirk like that. You haven't even used it to its full potential."
"What do you mean? My quirk only heals other people and myself. Big sis just wants me to stay and be a doctor."
"That's the key, being able to heal yourself. Do you know how muscles grow?"
"Not really."
"Then we have much to work on."
For the next few days, Midoriya taught Katsuma how to train his body while making the best use of his quirk to solidify his progress and efficiency.
---
Katsuma and Mahoro's dad came back after recovering from the villain attack. When the trio got home Midoriya was standing at the pathway leading to their home.
"Hello hero, what caused you to visit us?"
"Just here to return something."
Midoriya held his hand out to the confused father who took it. The man felt weird for a second before feeling whole. He breathed out a sigh releasing a tension he didn't know he had.
"What did you do to Daddy?!"
"Your dad had his quirk taken by a villain. I'm just giving it back like I did for the other quirks he stole."
The kids happily hugged and thanked Midoriya for helping their dad. After a while, it was time to leave. The class got onto their ferry and was slowly pulling out of the harbour. The entire village came and waved them off thanking them for their time there. On the way back Midoriya was seemingly lost in thought looking at his hand which had a small red orb surrounded by lightning.
