This hot spring was full of thickness.

Everywhere Izuku looked he saw sights that other men only dreamed of, the titanic bust of Shoko and Nejire slamming into each other as they wrestled in the healing waters like two massive, squishy kaiju going at it for no real reason. Momo stood in the open shower that jutted out from a rock face, her long black hair was pressed against her back as she slowly scrubbed herself clean before entering the waters. Even Menu's new, much more adult form was on full display as she floated about on an inflatable chair like this was a pool.

Itsuka though, Itsuka walked straight towards him, her vibrant teal eyes sparkled with the raw strength she possessed and all the love in the world for him. Her hips swayed with confidence, the curves of her well-defined stomach danced with every step as her perky breasts bounced. She moved through the water like it was barely there, the steam wafting around her form made her look like some fae emerging from the waters to grant his every wish.

Which wasn't far off from what Itsuka was to him.

It felt like everything that happened started when she was randomly brought into his party and teleported to him. If Menu, or rather, what part of his quirk was in charge at the time, had summoned someone else, his entire life would have been different, and all these wonderful experiences he had wouldn't have happened, he might not have even ended up with four girlfriends and whatever the hell Menu was.

A sexy desktop A.I.

He caught Menu smiling at him, lifting up her drink to him and nodding.

Izuku looked up and saw Itsuka standing in front of him. This was supposed to be their celebration. Their party for a job well done.

So why was she crying?

"Itsuka? I-"

She fell on top of him wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing his cheek several times as the warm water swirled between them. She was warm, soft, comforting, the entire hot spring seemed to vanish from view as he felt Itsuka grip onto him. She let out a long, soft sob, and kissed him again.

"Izuku," her voice was soft, as she moved to sit in front of him, her naked body pressed against his as he wrapped her into the hug. The heat of the healing hot springs, the heat of Itsuka, they were both so different, so completely different. But, he knew exactly which one he preferred.

He felt her breath on her neck as they sat there for a moment. "Itsuka."

She squeezed him tighter. "I was so afraid." Her voice was far too weak for how strong she was. This was a woman that could punch a mountain and win. Someone that stared down a dragon and decided it was a good idea to punch it right in the face. Someone confident in who she was, someone that he could trust without a doubt. She was his reliable pillar of strength. No matter what happened, he trusted her. "I was so so afraid. When I found out that you died that first time I didn't know what to think. I took it for granted. Then. When I found out that you didn't have any extra lives left I tried to just treat it that you were normal. But. when Menu started to fail. When I thought that you died again. I was so afraid."

"Itsuka I-"

She pushed back her tear-filled eyes silencing him. "I don't want to ever feel like that again. So please, the next time you do something so dangerous, I want to be there." She kissed him again, soft yet, somehow demanding, as though all her demands were within that kiss. "That way I can be there to protect you. I love you too much to bear the thought of losing you."

Izuku blinked, stunned by this soft side of Itsuka that was so unlike her at times near tsundere self that he had first fallen in love with. Part of him wanted to protest, to say that he didn't need her protection, but, at the same time, there was no one stronger than Itsuka. He cupped her cheek and smiled at her. "I love you too. Next time, we'll be smarter. About everything. I don't want to have you worry about me."

"I know," Itsuka muttered, moving to sit beside him and placing her head on his shoulders. "I know you're good at what you do, I know that you're going to be an amazing hero, but, I want to make sure you're going to get there. That's why we need to find out what gives you extra lives."

A sly smile appeared on her face and she squeezed his hand a bit tighter. "And make sure that we all have sex regularly." She blinked then looked at him. "Especially like tonight. Can you imagine if you had to do all that over again?"

Izuku felt himself pale at that. Part of him just wanted a nice lazy night where they all laid around and watched movies, just relaxing and enjoying each other while they recovered from today's events.

"That would suck so much. But we might be able to make things work better."

"Or worse, so we really should make a checkpoint." Itsuka's smile grew wider by the second. "By the way that's what our code name for sex is."

"How did I know you were going to say that."

"Because you love me so much?"

"Sure."

Momo appeared from the steam, moving to sit down on the other side of Izuku, unlike Itsuka, Momo was actually smiling, her confident gait adding to her beauty several times over. She kissed him on the cheek, then moved across him, her large breasts pressing into his chest for a moment while she gave a similar kiss to Itsuka. "Did you say everything you needed to say?"

Itsuka nodded. "Yeah, thanks for letting me do that Momo."

"No need to thank me, while I'm happy with our," Momo paused for a moment, tapping on her lip and making a split second of eye contact with Izuku that sent a shiver down his spine. "Uhhh, how did Nejire put it again?"

"Pleasure Party?"

"Super Sinful Squad?"

Momo rolled her eyes at both of them and smiled. "Yes, those, while I'm happy with our arrangement, It's important that we can give each other space to grow. And, I think it goes without saying that everything that Itsuka said applied to me as well right?"

"That you love me and you're going to start calling sex making a checkpoint?"

Momo pouted, "Not exactly."

Izuku squeezed her hand tightly and nudged her. "I understand, in the future, I won't rush in on my own anymore. You two have been with me since the start, I'm sure we're going to keep getting better at this. I don't plan on dying, not until we've lived a long happy life."

"Good." Itsuka leaned in and kissed him on his cheek. "But just in case I'll make sure I'm strong enough that I can punch death in the nuts and bring you back to life myself."

"I wonder if I can make an item that will stop you from dying." Momo tapped her chin.

"You guys should worry more about yourselves. We know that I can be brought back somehow already, but we don't know about you guys." Izuku let out a long sigh and rolled his head back. Morality was such a strange thing to consider. "I really wish I never died that first time, it just feels like there's so much more to think about."

"We're just happy you're still alive Izuku." Momo stroked his cheek softly, then her smile grew wide and dark. "But if you die again I'll kill you."

Right, Momo was basically a Yandere at this point.

"Is it just me," Itsuka whispered in his ear and kissed him on the earlobe. "Or is it kind of hot when she talks like that?"

"You know," Izuku let out a long sigh and smiled at both of them. "I should have known better than to expect the hot springs to stay PG-13 with you two around."

His first two girlfriends laughed and hugged onto him tighter.

It felt so good to finally be back home.

Though, their home had been forcefully renovated by whatever that quirk destroying drug had done to it, and Menu. As it stood everything was currently being rebuilt by Menu save for their new temporary abode.

"He's making his move."

"You need to hurry."

"He's getting stronger."

"You won't be able to stop him now."

"It might be too late."

"You need to act."

Itsuka spun, desperately looking around the swirling black mists that were covering everything. She wanted to talk, she wanted to scream, she wanted to shout, but couldn't, her mouth wouldn't move. She scrambled, trying to claw at her mouth, but found that it simply wasn't there. That black mist had swallowed, her giving her just enough of herself to see, and hear.

Was it intentional?

What was happening?

What was going on? Where was she?

Who was speaking?

"All for One."

"You need to stop him."

"He must be stopped."

"Stop him."

They came into view. Shadows at first. Then, forms. Slowly growing solid as eight of them began to form. Was it eight? No. It wasn' there were only seven. The eight, the eighth wasn't really there. But there were seven. Seven people. Seven wills.

Seven voices.

A pale man stood out the clearest. "One for All. Our Quirk. It was made. Made by him. He gave me a quirk to gather strength. To hoard it so he could make his brother live. But. He didn't know I had my own quirk. A quirk that allowed me to pass it on. And so One for All was born. Our sole purpose is to defeat All for One."

"You can do that."

"You can beat him."

"Before it's too late."

"It's your destiny."

"The time has come. Master our quirks."

"There are Seven of us."

"Master Us."

Itsuka stared for a moment, her eyes going wide. Menu was right. In part. One for All was alive, but it didn't look like a zombie, or however, she had described it at the time. The shadows shifted, for just a moment, a glimpse of what was beneath the figures made Itsuka feel faint. It was her. Shackled. A part of her was bound to this quirk. Was so entangled in it that she had no chance of escaping.

It was just a moment, but Itsuka realized what that was.

That was her quirk as it became fused with One for All.

Itsuka understood why Menu was so afraid now.

"Destroy him."

"Destroy All for One."

"That is your destiny."

"You are the one."

"Stop him."

"Use us."

"Itsuka!" Izuku's voice brought Itsuka out of that nightmare and into abrupt chaos. Black tendrils of energy were lashing out of her arm, destroying the walls and tearing up their beds. Izuku held onto her right arm while Momo was on her left and Shoko held onto her legs, Nejire, Nejire was in the corner, shielding a hurt Menu-chan.

It all came to a stop. And Itsuka felt her body fall a few inches as her head pounded in her skull.

"Itsuka," Momo said with panic in her voice and moved to grab her cheek. "Are you okay?"

Itsuka couldn't speak, her entire body felt numb as she looked around the room. At the destruction, she had caused. She let out a few steady breaths, "I'm fine, how's Menu?"

"I'll be fine." Menu held up her hand and stood, one hand was covering her eye, and there were hints of blood on her cheek. She must have gotten hit hard. It made sense. One for All probably wanted to absorb her. With Izuku's quirk, a quirk that could create free will, there was no stopping something like One for All.

Itsuka understood Menu's choice back then crystal clear now.

She could feel its intent roiling underneath her skin now, she could feel those wills inside of her desperately trying to influence her. It was kind of scary now. But, at the same time, it was trying to warn her, wasn't it?

"What do we know about All for One?" She asked looking at the group.

Izuku answered first, still not letting go of her arm. "I think I remember Overhaul talking about him."

"One for All. It was telling me that I need to stop them. I," Itsuka blinked and swallowed. "I think I need to go and talk to All Might about this."

Shoko blinked, "I have no idea what's going on."

"Oh! Right! You don't know!" Nejire bounced over and glomped onto Itsuka from behind. "You weren't there for it but basically Itsuka has All Might's quirk called One for All because it was supposed to go to Izuku, but Menu-chan got super duper jealous and said no and forced it onto Itsuka instead! But wasn't All Might supposed to like train your or something?"

"Wut?" Shoko just looked more confused, which given how she had fox ears made her all the more adorable with how they were pressed flat against her head whenever she was confused.

"It's a long story Shoko. Sorry," Itsuka shrugged. "But, because of Izuku I didn't really need to train for it, so I actually haven't spent much time with him. But if anyone knows about All for One, he might."

[Sys-admin: Izuku, do you see that?]

Izuku looked from Itsuka to Menu who was still holding her eye from the wound she had received from those black tentacles that had been particularly violent towards her. He blinked and then looked back towards Itsuka. See what?

[Sys-admin: Her Debuff.]

Debuff? The only debuff Itsuka had was that one she got from getting One for All and that one - Izuku felt his heart drop. The debuff duration was dropping. Fast. Months vanishing in seconds as the time seemed to set itself to some new much shorter time. When it stopped Izuku felt like puking. Instead of the years, they thought they had, that timer was now reduced to a few mere months.

[Izuku Midoriya: What should we do?

Sys-admin: Tell them, then, tell Nighteye. I'm going to try and make a dungeon, one that might contain more information on this. But I have no idea if it'll work.

Izuku Midoriya: thanks, and yeah, I guess I have to tell them now.]

Izuku let out a long sigh and looked at Itsuka, he squeezed her hand. "I've been hiding something from you all."

That got their attention. He maintained eye contact with Itsuka, the guilt was not making this easy. "I kept it a secret because I didn't want to worry you over nothing. But, now, I think it might be tied to All for One."

"What is it Izuku?" Itsuka asked, her face was still a bit pale.

"Back when you got One for All, I saw that you got a debuff with it. It was called Doom Foretold. It had a duration of years. But now it's barely a few months. That's all I know."

Itsuka's face firmed up and the color came back to her cheeks. "When does it expire?"

"First week of September."

Itsuka blew a raspberry and huffed. "Well, if we survive, you all better give me one hell of a birthday present."

AN: We're back baby! I hope you all have missed this fic! I feel energized and ready to write this more and more! So stay tuned and get ready for and Itsuka focused arc and one hell of a ride.
