Biokinetic - Chapter 9
🕑 Added 2023-05-23 15:33:26 +0000 UTCAmazingly, it was Midoriya that broke the silence that had descended over the clinic after Kenichi's proclamation, “B-but how?! How can you make All Might that strong again?”
Kenichi focused on Midoriya, his black eyes flashing brightly as he gave a wicked smirk, “Because we shook hands. As disgusting as One For All feels to me, that doesn't mean I didn't get all of its information. I know all eight Quirks that it holds. Specifically for All Might, I can recreate the Transfer and Stockpile Quirks. How did All Might transfer the Quirk to you? I only know it requires a DNA transfer.”
“H-he had me eat one of his hairs. So... c-can you really do that?”
Kenichi smirked, “Easily. And using a hair makes sense. I can create a single hair follicle, maybe make it a brother, genetically speaking. Give it the combined Transfer and Stockpile Quirks, then use my quirk to feed life force into it at an accelerated rate. Once it's powerful enough, I pluck the hair and give it to All Might. Boom! Prime power All Might.”
He looked at the flabbergasted face of All Might and smirked, “Seeing as how I did some maintenance on you, you should be able to feel a massive difference. I'd say you'll feel a good twenty or so years younger with the repair work I did. Ya know, lube up the joints, repair the cracks on the chasis, oil change, so on and so forth.”
At his proclamation, Recovery Girl immediately began to look over and examine All Might as best she could without throwing him into large and expensive scanning machines. At her urging, All Might stood up and began to flex and move his body and joints. There was a look of wonder on his face as he felt none of the aches and pains he'd become used to. He never spoke of the small pains and discomforts he'd accumulated over his time as the number one hero, but there were many. He hadn't been looking forward to dealing with the crippling arthritis he knew would swamp most of his joints in the coming years. Now he felt like he was twenty again and everything felt amazing and easy to move.
While Recovery Girl and All Might worked together to get a new baseline for his skinny form, Kenichi made his way over to Midoriya, “Your treatment is simpler and less taxing. I'm just going to introduce a change to your genetic structure that will offset the energy that One For All is taking from you. There will be a side effect though.”
Midoriya, looking extremely nervous, asked, “W-what kind of side effect?”
“Nothing major, you're just going to have a much larger appetite. The energy has to come from somewhere so I will be modifying your fat cells to be similar to myself and my sisters. You will be able to eat larger amounts of food and store the excess energy in your fat cells. One For All will then take that excess energy instead of robbing you of your own. This will also let it recover any energy you spend faster and increase its maximum output a bit faster to. That means you really need to start treating it as if it's always been a part of you.”
He wanted to remind Midoriya of his advice in Nezu's office. He'd half expected Midoriya to go into a mumble-storm right there and unlock his Full Cowling right there right then. Now it looked like his reminder had triggered the memory as Midoriya lost focus on him and began to mumble while climbing to his feet.
Kenichi stepped back and watched with anticipation as Midoriya took a horse stance and began to channel One For All at the lowest threshold he could. There was the distinctive 'red veins' that Midoriya showed on activating his Quirk spreading over his entire body. Once his fully body was covered green sparks began to appear around his entire body as he pushed his Quirk to a new stage.
All Might and Recovery Girl looked over in surprise when Midoriya began sparking. All Might grinned with pride as he spotted the change to Izuku. Recovery Girl, on the other hand, whacked Midoriya on the back of his head with her syringe shaped cane, “Knock that off! This is a clinic!”
Kenichi snicked, which was exactly the wrong thing to do as Recovery Girl rapped his shin with her cane, “And you! Don't encourage him here, do it outside!”
Kenichi gave an undignified yelp and hopped around clutching his battered leg for a moment until his rapid regeneration healed his bruised shin. It seemed Recovery Girl felt no need to hold back at all when smacking him since she knew he could heal from it quickly. Once he put his leg back down, he gestured to the bed behind Midoriya, “Sit back down and hold out your hand.”
Still rubbing his head, Midoriya complied. Kenichi took his hand in his own and grimaced. Even now just feeling the way One For All was put together sickened him. He had to focus on just breathing for a minute to get the visceral reaction under control. Once he had, he focused on creating what he needed to modify Midoriya's body the same way he had Momo's. Inducing the change was easy, designing it was a bit more difficult. Kenichi focused for a few minutes before he induced the cascading change. Once he felt the change begin, he released Midoriya's hand and nodded, “It's begun. It will take some time, a couple of months at least, for the change to be complete. If you feel your appetite growing, EAT! I've designed your change so that you will feel hungry as the amount of energy stored within your fat cells goes down. Once you fill up your reserves you should only have to maintain them. You will also find yourself much hungrier after extended use of your Quirk. Keep that in mind. It wont be crippling, but you will still feel it, especially if your reserves get low.”
Midoriya looked surprised and studied his hand, “I didn't feel anything Yaoyorozu-san.”
“Call me Kenichi, it's less confusing when my sister is around. And you wont feel anything for at least a month, possibly two.”
After Midoriya nodded his understanding, calling a guy by his first name wasn't nearly as embarrassing as a girl, Kenichi sat next to him, “Don't forget that you have at least six other Quirks to use along with the Stockpiling Quirk.” He crossed his arms over his chest, “Right now it's like you're using the power source, but not the powers themselves. Every Quirk you have will be amplified by the Stockpiling Quirk so learning about it isn't bad, but it's not everything either.”
Midoriya retrieved a notebook from... somewhere and flipped it open to a clean page, “What can you tell me about the other Quirks?”
“I can't give you their names or a complete list of how to use them, but I can tell you the basics at least. The first one has some control over velocity. It'll require some experimentation to lean the limits and full functions. I can tell that it has the potential to greatly boost your speed, and therefore power.”
He let Midoriya write and mumble for a bit. He noted both All Might and Recovery Girl watching the both of them but paid no more attention to them as he continued, “The next Quirk stores and releases kinetic energy. That combined with the first should offer a massive potential power boost. Again, I'm not one hundred percent sure of the mechanics, so experimentation is needed.”
More muttering and writing followed before he continued, “The next one is super straight foreword, it's best described as a sixth sense for negative emotions. You'll be able to sense things like hostility, hatred, anxiety, basically any of the... negative emotions. So yeah, simple.”
“Next is a Quirk that will let you form tendrils of energy that you can control. Their strength is based on your emotions. Unfortunately, it looks like anger is the emotion that makes them the strongest they can be. You'll need to be careful with it, but I can see it adding a lot of utility and mobility to your repertoire.”
Midoriya looked a little surprised at that and frowned. Kenichi could understand why. Anger wasn't exactly something Midoriya was known for. Frankly, he was a big ol' pushover at the moment. Kenichi planned to put forth some effort to help him get over it, but it was mostly up to Izuku to grow his own backbone.
“Next is probably the simplest one. It just lets you generate smoke.” He glanced over at All Might and smirked, “Might be where all that 'steam' around you comes from. Subconscious use of the Quirk.”
All Might and Recovery Girl looked thoughtful at that. Of course, Kenichi knew that was bull since the smoke produced by the Quirk was purple, not white, “Lastly you have...”
All Might cut him off by loudly muttering, “Float, the Quirk of my predecessor, Shimura Nana.”
All Might looked deadly serious, and a bit sad, as he talked about the woman that gave him One For All so long ago. Kenichi nodded, “That's right. It's essentially the ability to fly, slowly.”
All Might shook his head, “Combined with the stockpiled power of One For All it is much faster than it was originally.”
Kenichi smiled and nodded, “I'm sure the same is true for all of the other Quirks. But that's all I know of them.”
It was mostly true, he didn't remember every last detail of every Quirk in the series, just his favorites. What he said about the Quirks within One For All was truly what he could feel about them. Though, feeling them did remind him of a few things and he felt excitement as he thought of what he would be capable of using the Quirks. The velocity Quirk, Gearshift, and the kinetic energy storing Quirk, Fa Jin, could be combined to create massive amounts of power.
The most important one though, was Float. He now had access to flight! The dream of so many people and he would be able to live it! He could barely contain his excitement! The sooner he left the school, the sooner he could tweak himself and start practicing with his new skills. His mobility and power were about to go through the roof!
With the two One For All users, past and present, taken care of, Kenichi climbed to his feet and smiled, “Well, that's all I can do for now.” He focused on All Might, “I'll get to work on making you a new highly charged Stockpiling Quirk but, like I said, it'll take a couple of weeks for me to charge it up.”
All Might's smile was massive as he suddenly ballooned in size, though there was a suspicious amount of moisture located near his ocular orbits, “You don't have to do that, truly, but thank you Yaoyorozu-shonen for everything you've done for me.” He flexed his muscles, especially around his torso, “I haven't felt this good in over half a decade. I even feel I can maintain my muscled form for most of the day now...” He trailed off as his smile fell a bit, “Though, it seems, I will still be limited for only a few hours of actually using the sparks that remain of One For All.”
Kenichi nodded to himself. He'd hoped repairing the damage would give All Might more access to his power, but it didn't look like it had. It honestly made sense since One For All had been passed to Midoriya, “It doesn't matter. Like I said, I'll be remaking at least part of One For All for you.” His smirk grew wicked, “You're going to have to look for a second successor now.”
All Might looked surprised for a moment before stroking his chin, “Hmmm perhaps I shall look into the young man that Sir Nighteye was so insistent on me meeting.”
Kenichi thought about that and smiled to himself. Togata Mirio would be an excellent successor for All Mights second version of One For All. A new branch, a second path to allow a second powerful hero to work towards peace. Hell yeah! Mirio's Permeation Quirk, which Kenichi seriously wanted a copy of, his already excellent strength, and his heroic attitude would make him an excellent second One For All user in the future! Kenichi found himself oddly excited at the prospect of seeing his actions culminate in such a future.
Outwardly, Kenichi just nodded, “Whatever you want, All Might. Just don't go passing it on days after you get it! With the maintenance I did you should be able to be a hero for another decade easy. That way you can properly train up both of your successors.”
All Might's grin became blinding, “I don't even begin to know how to thank you Yaoyorozu-shonen.”
Kenichi just waved him off, “Thank me by remaining the Symbol of Peace for at least another ten years and I'll consider us even.”
All Might gave a heartfelt and hearty laugh at that before flashing Kenichi a thumbs up, “Consider it done!”
After that there was just some minor discussions about repeated visits to Recovery Girl so she could keep an eye on All Might and Midoriya. Kenichi gave his goodbyes and left while she was lecturing the two on what she expected them to do.
As he approached the school entrance, he spotted his sister sitting in a beach chair beneath an umbrella and reading a thick book. When she finally spotted him, she closed the book with a loud snap, crossed her arms beneath her large bust, and gave him a flat look that he knew boded ill for himself. He quickly held up his hands in surrender, “I'm sorry Momo-chan! I had no idea I would be taking so long! I swear I just expected to be talking to Principal Nezu about Aizawa-sensei's actions and their consequences. Instead I got roped into a discussion about Midoriya's Quirk and ended up having to heal a teacher.”
Momo still looked quite irked, she had been waiting for just under two hours, after all. She kept her glare up as she demanded, “Explain, Kenichi-san.”
Kenichi winced, Momo only called him by his name when she was upset, but adding 'san' at the end? She was pissed! Kenichi quickly dashed the remaining distance between them and collapsed to his knees in a perfect dogenza, “Please forgive me Momo-chan! The poor sensei they asked me to heal was missing his stomach, half a lung, and several feet of his intestines. Not to mention all the scaring and other damage done to his body. It took me an hour alone to heal him up.”
Momo's countenance instantly softened. She was inherently a kind person and hearing that someone had been so heavily injured tugged at her heart strings quite a bit. Knowing that her wonderful, if a bit annoying, brother had healed the teacher warmed her heart. She'd been slightly worried about his sudden pursuit of power but knowing he was willing to use his Quirk to heal someone so badly hurt filled her heart with joy. He'd changed over the last year, but it was good to see that his kindness was still there.
She let him sweat in his dogenza position for a bit. She was surely happy he was still a good person but that didn't mean he didn't need to suffer just a bit for making her wait so long. Finally, she uncrossed her arms and stood from her chair, “I suppose, as far as reasons go, healing someone is a good reason for being so late.”
Kenichi risked looking up and saw Momo looking down at him. She'd hidden her smile and maintained a serious look, “But you owe me one onii-san.”
Kenichi gave Momo a tentative smile, “Just name it Momo-chan and if it's within my power I'll grant it!”
“I'll tell you when we're home.”
Kenichi was a little surprised, but nodded and climbed to his feet. If she didn't want to say it here then it was something either private, or embarrassing. He wasn't going to try forcing it out of her here and now and risk angering her further. So, he helped collect the items she'd made while waiting for him and they made their way home.
-----Line Break-----
Once they arrived home the twins put their school items away and made their way to the largest bath in their 'small' manor home. As they washed off the accumulated dirt of the day together, Kenichi addressed Momo, “So what was it you wanted?”
Momo paused in washing her arm and glanced over her shoulder at him, “I want a second Quirk.” Kenichi looked over his own shoulder just to give her a single eyebrow raised in question, “I know how you feel about my Quirk and I agree that it is amazing. However, it still takes me time to make something that's not on my list of special items. I'd like to have something to fall back on in case I don't have time to make something. So, either a defensive or mobility Quirk.”
Kenichi smiled and nodded, “I can do that for you.” He faced away from her and thought about it for a bit, “I've got a few options you can choose from.”
He rinsed himself off and moved into the luxurious tub to soak in its warmth for a while. Momo joined him right afterward and he silently lamented that she was his sister. He knew she was gorgeous and seeing her completely bare was something a part of him had hoped to see many times. However, the main part of him was blasé about it, she was his sister and therefore not a possible target of attraction. Still, he was glad they were safely at home so none of the perverts in his class could hope to catch even a glimpse of his sister. None of those plebeians were worthy of her!
Once she'd settled down in the lightly steaming water he spoke up, “I've collected a lot of Quirks so you're spoiled for choice. My personal recommendations are, Float, which would let you fly. Blackwhip, which would let you create tendrils of energy to sling yourself around with. Hardening would let you increase your durability to weather blows. Hmmm Air Step might be a good subtle one, it would let you create invisible platforms of air to step on and give yourself 3D maneuverability. You could even pass it off as just using your normal Quirk. Just say you're expelling compressed gas from your feet. Hell, you could probably do that for real.”
At this point he was just brainstorming out loud. Momo smiled as he watched her brother working out the best possible way she could get what she wanted. So far, she wasn't disappointed. Especially when he continued with, “Actually, if you can really do that, then I could give you the Float Quirk and you could combine Float and your new technique to give yourself real flight in an emergency. In normal combat, Float could be used to make the amount of gas you need to expel for propulsion significantly less since you wont be fighting gravity!”
He looked expectantly at Momo, who giggled and lifted her foot a little in the clear water. She scrunched her nose a bit as she focused on what she wanted. Continuous creation was something she could already do, so applying it to making a constant stream of gas shouldn't be a problem. She also picked the easiest possible gas, Hydrogen. It was the first element, could be compressed, and would take the absolute least amount of mental effort for her to produce allowing her to focus on the amount and pressure. A moment later her foot began to glow as her Quirk activated and a violent stream of bubbles bust out of the sole of her foot. The force of the expulsion was great enough to push her back tightly against the bathtub wall, “Whoa!”
Kenichi laughed in delight before his eyes widened, “Momo!”
Hearing the excitement in his voice, Momo cut off the flow of Hydrogen and focused on her brother. He was practically vibrating in excitement, “You can produce gasses!”
Confused at the tangent, Momo still nodded, “Yes...?”
His grin grew positively feral, something she found rather cute on him, “One of your quick items is a Gas Mask...” he trailed off.
She nodded, not quite connecting what he meant but she knew he was going somewhere. He didn't disappoint when he finished his thought, “You could easily produce any kind of gas you desire, including knock-out gas, while protecting yourself and allies with gas masks! Granted it would be much less effective when fighting in wide open areas, but if someone gets close you could just blast them in the face with the gas!”
Momo's eyes widened as her own prodigious intellect took his idea and ran with it. She could easily devise several scenarios where just pointing her hand at someone and blasting them in the face could quickly and easily end a melee fight. It would give her another layer of defense, and she realized she could even produce cover by emitting smoke. A gas mask with thermal vision would make sure she wasn't blinded while he opponent was. The two of them quickly got into a discussion of all the ways Momo could use this different aspect of her Quirk. U.A. wouldn't know what hit it.

Now we can see canon is well and truly boned here.
All Might is fully healed and will have a new copy of OFA in a couple of weeks. Why a couple of weeks? Because I'd like USJ to sort of happen as it did in canon without All Might there to mess it up right away.
A second OFA means All Might could decide to give the new copy to Mirio in the future meaning two OFA users working toward a better world. Wont have much bearing on my story really, but it's nifty to know.
More surprisingly, Momo is about to become a better version of Mustard. According to the wiki, Mustard can only produce sleeping gas. Momo could do the same, except she could also produce deadly gasses with ease. Even nerve gas, technically. Just imagine the surprise on someone's face when she throws a punch and when it connects, ejects a blast of knock-out gas right into their face.
Yeah, Momo is as OP as the MC, just in a different manner.
BTW, did anyone else realize she could, technically, copy Bakugo's Quirk? Yup. She could easily produce nitroglycerin and ignite it. I'm not saying the OG Momo should, cause she would probably get severe burns at the least, or blow her hand to bits at the worst. But it is, technically, possible for her. In a similar fashion she could produce and eject napalm to create a flame thrower from her bare hand. So yeah, Momo is way more powerful than she's even able to really show in the original story. Which is sad.
Anyway, I look foreword to seeing what you all think of this chapter!

I do not. I want to see how his interactions come out while I'm writing before I decide. I could pick someone, say Jiro, but find I don't like the way they interact without changing one of them. I hope that makes sense.

Do you have a pair in mind for kenichi ?
