"... Who was the Eighth?" Tokoyami asked.

"All Might. He was born Quirkless, which is the only reason why he survived One For All For 30 years. He suffered an injury that weakened him, he can only be a Hero for three hours a day, and he's losing time fast. My uncle is missing his eyes, hair and requires a life support system just to stay alive. All Might will retire by the end of our second year at the latest"

"... I already told you my answer Midoriya, I'm in" Todoroki said.

"We are too" Dark Shadow and Tokoyami said.

"... Why am I Plague?" Uraraka asked.

"Because I can see the kindness in you, you'd willingly take another's sickness to spare them pain. But you also have a fighting spirit and vindictiveness that'll let you give someone a sickness and not be upset"

"... I'm in" I turn to Yaoyorozu.

"You won't be asking me for gold or precious minerals?"

I chuckle and open my hand, the dirt underneath us lifted and formed a gold block in my hand.

"I can make them myself Yaoyorozu. I don't need to ask you for them since I can craft those myself" I toss the block to Uraraka who barely caught it in shock.

"Wha-?"

"For your parents, it's why you became a Hero right? To help ease their financial struggle? That should get them a lot of money and help with getting some new equipment" I smile.

"Thank you" She said softly, placing the block beside her.

"Then I'm in"

"Very well. I'll start with Todoroki" I stood.

He stood and stepped forward, moving into a keeling position.

"Todoroki Shoto, you have suffered, carried a burden upon yourself that has been symbol of pain and suffering" I rest my hand on his head. "Quirk Modification: Half Hot-Half Cold, removing Half Hot, converting Half Cold into Helheim Frost... You will carry the power of the Arctic Frost of Death, from the Realm of Helheim, Domain of the Norse Goddess of Death Herself, Hel"

His hair lost it's red, becoming snow white.

"Power Bestowal: Thermal Immunity, no longer shall you suffer the pain of your ice, and no longer shall your father's flames be able to harm you. You shall now suffer from being unable to feel the change in temperature, from the Flames of Christianity's Hell, down to the Ice of Hel's Frost. Now stand, Horsemen of Death"

His skin paled and grew slightly greyish, but when he stood there was no burn mark on his face, and both of his eyes were the ice blue of cold arctic ice.

He raised a hand and in it formed dark blue ice, so cold that the air around us felt all the more colder.

"Thank you, my Liege" He returned to his seat and Tokoyami stood, kneeling before me with a removed shirt.

Liege?

"Tokoyami Fumikage, Dark Shadow, for years you have managed to pull the shadows over the eyes of the world, hiding your status as twins so well even your parents are blind to it"

I could see the shock, then amusement of the other three.

"Quirk Modification: Crow Head to Crow Head and Wings" From his back, a set of bones slowly and grotesquely grew from his back, forming skin and muscle, then beautiful midnight black crow feathers. "The years of relying upon your sister to protect you from bullies are no more, Power Bestowal: Blade Feathers"

His recently grown wings shed their feathers, the skin and muscle becoming metal. New feathers grew, becoming black metal blades. A second smaller set of wings formed to help with flight. But the metal was one I only came across once in Africa, Vibranium, it can absorb and redistribute kinetic energy, this variant can also nullify energy for the most part, lightning, vitality, photons, sound, most of them are ineffective to the variant.
