Quirks! Abilities that have become part of the norm in everyday life on Earth. It is unknown how it came to be, though some speculate the reason due to the world's greatest hero, All Might. Supposedly since he came, these 'Quirks' have manifested within the majority of every human (and some animals) in the whole world.

Though, as the increase of humans with Quirks keep going, so do the activities of people using their powers to their own needs. And always becomes villains. No matter where you look, heroes and villains fight for power.

But with in this new day of age, one Quirkless boy will become a legend. One where he will fight for humanity and the lives of the people. And the title they will shout for decades will be known, as Kamen Rider!

A new day rises, as another week of Summer Vacation continued in the States. Out past the city laid a small town, and in one area looked to be that of a nice built house. Up at the top room laid a young boy, sleeping soundly. He had peachy pale skin, dirty blonde hair that looked more messy than it was lead to believe, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly spite it being noon. While his room, while looking like any average teenage boy's room, was filled with many games, all based around being a hero. There was even some posters of other famous heroes that lined his walls.

He turned away in his bed but his alarm was blaring loudly, making him place the pillow over his head. It was futile as he reached for the alarm but couldn't. He reached farther but it only made him fall off his bed. "Ow…" he groaned.

"Cody! It's time to get up!" An order female voice rang out below, "It still maybe summer, but you shouldn't sleep in this late!"

"Ugh… Coming!" He answered her. A soft groan escaping him as he looks at the ceiling with his light blue eyes, "Another day…" He sighed to himself. He slowly got up, stretching his arms and let out a sigh of relief. He yawned a bit before leaving the room and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

As soon as he approaches downstairs, a quick blur whizzes by, knocking him on his rear before feeling a very tight squeeze. "Ugh…. hehe… morning to you too Alice…." He smiled at his young sister. She had short brown hair with yellow highlights, and wearing a bright pink and yellow shirt along with a green skirt.

"Morning Cody!" She giggled, nuzzling him more with a bright smile.

"Have you been into the Treat Sugar again?" He asked her, feeling her flinch.

"M-Maybe…." She admitted.

He sighed, patting her head, "You know, you're not allowed to have that twice in one week… I know you love your Quirk, but having that unique sugar in your system will make you crash…" He said to her.

"Fine…" She puffed her cheeks.

He smiled and patted her head, "But I'll keep quiet, just as long as you don't eat anymore."

"Promise?"

"I promise," He promised, only to receive another death hug from her. They both got up as they walked back into the kitchen, seeing an young woman with long pink hair, wearing a business suit as she was quickly eating her breakfast.

"About time you woke up." she glanced up with a soft smile, "You really should stop being up so late playing all of those video games of yours…"

"It's the closest thing I'll get to being a hero Aurora…" He said softly to her, rubbing his arm. "Besides, I enjoy the games… except those of the shooter genre due to that stupid online player…" He grumbled. Whenever he sees the gamertag of that player, it often irritates him. The gaming community say he is one of the best online players in the shooter game genre. He lost whenever he challenges the game player.

"Please don't tell me that you are upset about that again? Whoever that player is, it sounds like he is enjoying what he does, Cody."

"I still would like to beat him once…" He muttered.

"Regardless, you need to start thinking of your future. You only have a month left until High School starts… And you need to figure out where you want to go?" Aurora said to him. Cody was about to answer before she frowned, "And no. Mom, dad and I already said that you can't join U.A. High. Even if they're allowing people without Quirks into it, we don't want you going there."

"Why not? If they're allowing people without Quirks into the school, I could still join it!" He argued with her.

"Cody, I understand you want to go there but it isn't all fun and games," Aurora reminded. "Life isn't a game either. Either you protect the people or risk everything and lose it."

"But I just-"

"Cody, enough!"

He flinched from her raising her voice, his head lowered as his fist began to tremble.

Aurora's eyes soften as she approached Cody. "Look, I'm sorry…. It's just that…" She took a deep breath. "Sometimes, dreams are simply that… dreams. Believe me, Cody. I just don't want you to get hurt."

"As if you could even understand why I want to do this…." He muttered out loud, storming out of the household.

Aurora was about to intervene but she simply sighed, leaning against her chair as she covered her face from that fight. Alice frowned before she looked up at her older sister, "Is.. Cody going to be alright?" She asked, worried about him.

"He'll… be fine Alice…" She sighed, "I just wish he would understand that we don't want to see him hurt again due to his recklessness…."

(Insert Op - EXCITE - Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Op)

The song quickly begins like that of a chiptune like sound as it shows a loading screen before quickly saying 'Complete'

(I gotta believe...)

After leaving the loading screen, the screen quickly pans towards the UA High as it passes the several students before reaching Ex-Aid as he turns and punches it. Upon shattering showed the title card along with the Gashats of Ex-Aid before Might Action X floats to the center and lights up.

[I don't wanna know beta na shinjitsu nara]

The screen pans above the high sky before quickly lowering down and zooming in to show off Cody, as he sees the ruins of the old town he used to live in before a quick flash showed the Bugsters destroying it before returning to the present.

[I don't wanna know shiranai kata ga ii noni ]

The screen shift towards the Class 1 of UA High, as it shows off the students. Each one chatting away as Cody is chatting away with Izuku, Ochako, Tenya, and Poppy on his mobile screen chat back. With the occasional glare from Katsuki.

[Why, Why, Why, Why? Kitsukeba I Came Too Far]

It then shifts towards a flashback where Cody is being lectured by people with Quirks, his family of classmates, before shifting to where he was saved by All Might, then shifts again as All Might accepts him into the academy as the rest of the teachers are behind them. Even Aurora who stands there unsure that he is ready to be a hero looks at him with distrust.

[Tomaranai kanjiru sono yokan wa, The New Beginning]

Inside an ally, several villains start pouring out from the darkness, led by Genm as they begin to march their way towards UA. Faint images of injured students and people are shown briefly before an image of All Might is on the ground, dead with his students.

[Michi no ryoiki, ima wo kiri hiraku'nda, I gotta believe! (Turn it on...)]

As the mass of villains rush towards the entrance, Cody and Izuku hesitates while the other students march ahead before the shadow of All Might made them turn around. He pats their shoulders as Izuku jumps ahead, while Cody holds up Mighty Action X and presses it, a faint pink glow covering the screen.

[Sotto Excite Excite takanaru, Excite Excite kokoro ga]

A faint image of Ex-Aid LV 1 appears briefly before LV 2 jumps out from behind it. The Action Rider punching, kicking and beating any enemy in it's way as Izuku and the rest of their team helps them out, with their powers.

[Michibi ano basho e, Kakenuku deku dake]

A few more enemies appear before being stuck down by All Might and the other teachers. Several Bugsters being to gather around until more and more heroes appear, helping out what remains of the enemies.

[(Hey!) I'm on a mission right now, (Hey!) I'm on a mission right now]

Faint images of new Ex-Aid forms can be seen before it zooms out to reveal the enemy behind it all, chuckling madly as he turns to see a large vial of Bugster viruses floating in a tank. But it then shifts towards the Aid Den as several unknown Gashats glow, resonating to stop the diseases.

[Excite Excite kotae wa, Excite Excite kotae wa]

With more and more enemies falling towards the ground,everyone backs up, back to back to make sure no more injuries can be given. As that happens Cody takes out the Mighty Action X Gashat before placing it into the Kimiwaza Slot and presses it, as he rider kicks at the screen.

[(One) Kono te mo naka, (Two) Susumu beki life, (Three) Ikiteku dake]

Back at the school, everyone was cheering, laughing and relaxing as they completed the mission. All Might nodding to them all as Poppy pats Cody's shoulder. The young rider smiling as he lifts up the Gashat one last time before looking out at the sky where the title card shows off one last time.

Out in the distance was a ruined town. This was one of the many towns destroyed by an old fight from 5 years ago. It was unknown what happened, but many lives there was lost. And Cody was almost one of them. The young teen sat on one of the rubble of the city, his arms hugging his legs as he continued to look out in the distance as more of those words from his sister, family and others kept ringing in his head.

'Sometimes… dreams are only that….'

'You need to stop this futile dream of being a hero!'

'How could anyone without a Quirk ever hope to be a hero?'

'You need to focus on something else… Than this fantasy dream of yours.'

Cody closed his eyes, holding his hands near his head as he tried to drown out the noise of those voices. 'Why… Why don't they trust me?' He questioned in his thoughts, 'I know it's dangerous… but ever since he saved me…. I know what I wanted to do now… so why… why is it so hard for a Quirkless guy like me, to dream of being the next hero?'

He dreamed of being a hero but unlike his sisters and parents… he was Quirkless. He had no superpowers like them. At first, his dream was crushed, until this year began. When word got out that U.A. High will be allowing Quirkless people to join the school, he finally had the chance to attain his dream!

Until his family got wind of it… He know they mean well, but ever since Quirks became the norm all those ages ago, people like Cody have been stepped aside. And his family believes that he shouldn't pursue it for his safety and think he would do better as what his family has been doing for generations. A Doctor. Something only his family asides from Aurora has been doing in a very long time.

He sighed as he reached in his pocket before pulling out a handheld console. He powered it up before he began to play one of the games he has. The game, he got from his sister, now working for the biggest video gaming corporations in the world. This game was simply an old school platformer named 'Mighty Action X', and the young teen smiled softly as he played.

Games were asides one of his hobbies, was also his escape into this realm he wanted to achieve. But as he kept playing, that old memory from 5 years ago slowly started to come back. One he has done his best to at least repress from the trauma of what he saw… He still wishes he knew what that thing was...

He remembered the fleshy-like creature, shaped like some sort of golem, and caused havoc to the city. After that were three people, two being in strange armor, the first being a knight while the other looking like a technological shogun that he swore had a mix of a motorcycle. Then one that everyone knew of. And the one that saved him from near death and one that made him realize his dream of being a hero.

"I'm still wondering why All-Might was in the States?" He muttered, quickly finishing his level, beating his old record from last month by 20 seconds. "Not to mention those armored guys… no one ever saw them before either… then again there were rumors of two armored people in the past…"

There were indeed rumors that spread about the two warriors he saw. The Blue Knight and Yellow Shogun were what others call them. They merely show up out of the blue, the duo seen all over the world. Even more, how rumors were told that they were the new generation of two legendary fighters known in history.

"Just who were they anyways?" He muttered, before feeling his phone ring. He looked down to see a text from Alice, saying she was worried and would like for him to come home before Aurora comes looking for him. He gulped softly before he replied back and standing up, "Guess I should get going…"

He kicked a small piece of rubble, sending it flying until it hit the wall of a ruined building. However, Cody suddenly heard a whirring noise, making him blink as he turns his head to see the tiny pebble he kicked to one building, actually caused a door to open albeit slightly due to its condition.

"What the?" He got out softly. He began to walk over towards the door, looking over it before he pulled as hard as he could, prying it open to reveal an emergency stairs. He began to walk down it, using his phone to use as a light as he ventured down further into the depths of this hidden area.

The light slowly dimmed revealing his phone's power was dying, causing him to turn off the flashlight function of his phone. He searched for a possible light switch and when he did find it, he flipped it. At first it didn't work until lights began to flare as a large screen activated, showing the initials 'CR' along with several destroyed, ruined tech.

"When… was this here?" He got out, walking around at this ruined lab. Seeing several dried blood splats, bones, and more. There was a battle here… "Was… this where it came from?" He asked himself.

It was nauseating to him as well as the smell of decay still lingering in the room. He quickly raised his shirt, not wanting to have more of that smell enter his nose, not wanting to vomit. Just as he was about to move around more, he stopped as he turned his head to see a very small room that had a gate. He looked around for a key before noticing a key on a ruined table.

He reached for it and grabbed it before going back to the small gate and unlocked it. Once unlocked, he opened it as lights activated once more to reveal a small room that was strangely painted pink. In the center of the room was… an arcade machine? It was pink as it had the words ' Do-Re-Mi-Fa Beat'.

"An arcade console? Were they trying to hide it from whatever attacked them…?" He looked at it more and kicked it gently. What he didn't realize that he actually activated it as the screen glowed.

At first it lighted up but the glow increased, now making Cody aware as he saw the game screen light up before it displayed the name of the game before changing to reveal what looks to be a girl around his age with short pink hair with a small green hat that has been slanted to the side, her eyes were bright red and wearing what seems to be a pop idol outfit you see in Japan. The attire looked to be a yellow blouse with white shoulder and sleeves along with a yellow necktie, complete with a pink and white frilled skirt with several musical notes on it along with pink, yellow and green stockings before finishing off with yellow high heeled boots.

He blinked as he stares at the screen before he saw the character in the game open her eyes, revealing soft brown eyes. "What happened…?" She muttered.

Wait did he just hear that right…?

"Uh…. hello?" He responded, thinking he was crazy and that she would respond back.

The pop idol blinked before seeing Cody. "Ah!" She gasped. "What are you doing here?"

"Uh… I wandered in here after prying the door open. It was sealed shut by the debris." He answered her.

She stared at him for a moment before she lowered her head, the music melody in the game turning slightly sad. "So it really happened… that's why they turned off the console…"

"Um… can you tell me who you are…?"

Before he knew it, her sad expression changed into a happy smile. "I am Poppy Pipopapo~! But you can just call me Poppy!" She answered, getting into a pose as she winked at him.

He smiled softly, "I'm Cody Aldrich." He introduced, "So… Poppy. What exactly do you mean, 'It happened'?"

"Well… I should explain it when I get out."

"Wait.. Get ou-" The console glowed as melodies flew out of the screen as Poppy literally jumped out of the game.

"Ta da~!"

"WA-AH!" He yelped, falling back on his rear. "H-How in the… How did you even do that?!"

"I'm special, Cody," She tapped his nose. "I help out the Cyber Rescue unit with troubles involving a virus that happened 5 years ago."

"Wait Cyber Rescue..?" He recalled the CR initial. "You mean this place is a secret base!?"

"Yep~!" She smiled before looking back at the console. She hopped into the game before the large screen on the other side of the room lit up, revealing her. "And I can travel to any electronic screen, wherever the arcade console is connected to, or any electrical current."

"That's… that's amazing…" He noted before he realized one of her words, "Wait… 5 years ago? You mean… you were apart of that massacre that happened here?"

The music went into its sad mood again. "Yes… but the members of the unit safely locked me away in my console room that you opened. Since the CR thinks that my safety was one of the important matters while Brave and Lazer hold the enemies off."

"Brave…? Lazer…?"

She pointed at the large screen as it displayed two warriors that Cody recognized. One seemed to be a blue knight, with yellow eyes, and a sword, while the second was a yellow cyber shogun, with two scythes and both had a gamepad chest and life bar. "AAHH!" He pointed at them, "Those are the mysterious heroes who fought alongside All-Might!" He got out. "You were there partners!?"

"Yep~! Kamen Rider Brave and Kamen Rider Lazer."

"Kamen Rider…?" He eyes shot up like rockets. "As in the very first Heroes who were Quirkless!? The legends amongst heroes!? The First heroes before Quirks arrived!?"

"Mhm! You sure know your stuff, Cody."

"Well… it's only been my dream to be a hero." He said before his smile quickly turned into a sadden frown, "Or…. at least what I want to be… my sister and parents thinks it's simply a dream…"

Poppy hopped out of the game before making him show a smile. "You gotta turn that sad face upside down, Cody. Dreams may be dreams but they can become reality!" She smiled.

"But how?" He asked her, "Unless you have some special power and give me a great Quirk… There's no hope for me…"

She giggled, "I may be a simple idol but I know something better!" She walked back to the room that held her console and walked over the wall as she began to sing a tune. When she finished, the wall lit up before it opened, revealing a belt similar to the ones Brave and Lazer had. "They also locked this away as well… well one of them at least."

"One of them?"

"There was two but Brave gave one to someone else." She explained, gesturing to the the empty spot next to the buckle. It was a blocky green device, with a fuchsia cover and handle, along with two empty slots to the left of it and the letters 'GD' on it.

"What… is this?" He asked her.

"The Game Driver," She grabbed hold of it along with what looks to be a game cartridge that said the game that Cody knows.

"Wait that game, that's Mighty Action X!"

"You know of it?"

"My sister got me that game due to the company she works for! How did you get hold of one?"

"Oh, this been here for a long while," She giggled. "We were going to find the gamer that held the top score of the game 5 years ago.. But well…" She gestured to the room. "You knew what happened next."

He nods softly, before he blinked in response from her words, "Wait… you were finding the one who held the top score of Mighty Action X?" He questioned her.

"That's correct."

"What about that missing Game Driver?"

"Brave gave it to someone who held the top score of another game genre." She answered.

He nods softly, "Um…. I think I may know who you were looking for…." He said to her. She blinked as Cody reached in his pocket before showing her his game console and see saw the score.

Her eyes widen in recognition. "That's the only score I have seen from one player that is the one to become the next Gamer Rider!"

"Heh…. surprise…." He chuckled softly.

"Well…" She tossed her hand in the air, confetti appearing. "Congratulations! You are the rightful owner of the Gamer Driver!" She handed it to him.

"You're… serious?" He got out, taking the device and game.

"Yep!" She beamed. "Now…" She gestured to the console. "Can you help me move my home?"

"Eh?"

In the construction area of one building, a young man with full on messy hair and slightly pale skin was playing a handheld game. He was wearing a black jacket with purple trimmings on the collar, digital-designed pants, and black shoes. As he was pressing buttons, a voice called out to him.

"Infection will soon begin." He turned his head to see a green-skinned creature that was plant-like with two large bone-like fangs on his back and shoulder, resembling a dragon but had a red spiky arm that held a device with a screen that displayed numbers. "The number of our comrades will grow greatly."

The young man turned his head to the city, "Hey Graphite, can you believe this world will be ours to play with soon?" The now named creature knelled as the two look at the city below as the young man smiled. "Isn't it exciting?"

"Hmph… As long as we can thrive, nothing matters to me anymore…." Graphite scoffed.

"I even heard about these players abilities… Quirks, right?"

"Yes… We've faced one before…." Graphite growled, rubbing a visible wound. "He was lucky…"

"Ne, when do you think we should move to the next stage: Japan?" He asked.

"In Two Weeks…. We'll bring our numbers with us as well… Once we find that Quirk and deal with him." Graphite responded.

"Okay," He got up as the two left the construction area while the young man simply continued to play his game.

"What were you thinking!?" Aurora shouted to Cody. The young teen literally dragged the Do-Re-Mi-Fa Beat machine into the home.

"You say like this is a bad thing…." Cody responded.

"You took an arcade console from the ruined part of the city!? What do you think!?"

"Well, what else was I going to do? Let it rust there? Sides, it works fine…." He crossed his arms.

"Really?" She raised an eyebrow.

He nodded, inserting a coin as the arcade lite up, the game ready to be played as it looked like it was in pristine condition, asides from the soot, dirt, and dents on the outside. "See? I just have to clean it and it will look new." He pointed out.

Aurora crossed her arms before she sighed irritably. "I hope you won't cause trouble with this… entering that area was one thing and taking an old arcade machine from there is another…" She sighed.

"It's fine sis… Sides, it's not like I brought home a stray dog." He noted towards Aurora doing that long ago.

"And look where it gotten to?" She gestured to the now healthy looking dog that was sleeping soundly on the couch.

"Point taken…" Cody mumbled. "Look, I won't take anything else from there, I promise. Scouts honor."

Aurora stared at Cody for a little longer before she sighed, "Alright… I'll let it slide for once."

"Thank you!" He smiled at her.

"Also… later tonight after dinner.. You, me, mom and dad will need to have a chat about your decisions to U.A. High…" She informed him.

A frown forming on his face as his head lowered, "I…. understand…." He answered her. He then did his best to drag the arcade back up into his room, once inside he quickly shut the door and sighed with relief, "Man, that was too close…." He panted.

The screen glowed as Poppy jumped out. "Is your sister someone with a Quirk?"

"Yeah she- wait how can you tell?" He asked.

"I know when I see people who have a Quirk," She giggled as she spun around as light surrounded her. Once it died down, it revealed the young woman now having short brown hair, wearing what seems to be a nurse outfit. "CR is also part of the medical field. Hence why I am able to tell who has a Quirk and who doesn't."

"That's interesting Poppy." He said with amusement.

"Call me Asuna when I am in this disguise," She insisted.

"O-Oh… Of course." He nodded, before bringing out the game she gave him, "So… while I rather not test this right now. How do I work this thing?"

"Well for one," She pointed at the game, more exact the tiny button. "When that is pressed, it will generate a game field, turning the area into a game."

"Then… I just place it into the Driver and then I can fight?" He questioned, looking at it.

"You catch on quickly, Cody," She commented. "However, the enemies that Brave and Lazer fought, they had to go through two levels, while Lazer, three."

"Levels?"

She pointed at the game console as it displayed Brave's Level 1 and 2 forms while it also displayed Lazer's Level 1, 2, and 3 forms.

"Every Rider has a Level that they can achieve. With LV. 1, it's only meant to separate a host from the virus that infected them." She explained.

"Virus?" He turned to her.

"Bugster," She answered. "They are electronic viruses that were first made by video games and are born when people feel very stressed to the point that the Bugster will take over, forming a large Bugster." The screen showed an example of what happened to a host.

"Wait a minute… We're they large orange, flesh like monsters that seemed to be invulnerable towards anything but Quirks?" He asked her.

She nodded "Yet there is one thing Quirks can't do…" She sighed. "Separate the host from the virus."

"So… these things were made to stop these… 'Bugsters'?" He questioned, looking at the game.

"Exactly," She confirmed. "Hence why Brave and Lazer fought them, sometimes Brave does most."

"Oh right, this Lazer guy becomes a bike at first… how is that possible?"

"It's the Gashat's function when he used it."

"Guess I see why they were partnered…" He sighed, "So… Does that mean, 'Mighty Action X' gives me powers of a platformer?"

"That's correct. Lazer is a speedster when I met him. He sees people itching for, and he quotes, 'a race.'" She nodded. "Brave on the other hand, he was rather mute at times but he speaks kindly often. The two would often butt heads but they were a great team when it comes to fighting."

He smiles softly, "They must've been your very best… huh?"

"Yes…" She smiled sadly. "Despite the two always arguing, they are my friends."

"Do… you know what happened to them?" He asked her.

She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them. "Brave and Lazer are in Japan, their home country. Though, Lazer seems to be in a critical condition, and missing a leg, while Brave… seems to have gone off the grid…" she answered him.

"Woah… how did you know that?" He asked in awe.

"The Gashats," She gestured to Cody's. "Lazer must have been in the hospital for quite sometime after that day as for Brave… I think it relates to the missing Game Driver he gave someone."

Cody pondered until it clicked. "Maybe training… hey Poppy-"

"Asuna," She corrected.

"Sorry. Asuna. This other Gashat, what was the other one?"

"Bang-Bang Shooting." The screen showed the said game. "From what I remember, Brave planned on handing it to the top player of the shooter genre."

"Top player… oh great…" He groaned, recalling a gamer he played against online.

"You know something?"

He nods softly, "That jerk keeps entering every shooter I know of! And always gets the top score in everything…" he groaned in annoyance, "No matter what I try, even if I somehow get early access, their he is. Sniping at me and other players alike…. Even using a simple pistol online to win. His Gamer tag.. The0neSh0t. 'One shot ends a player' is his motto, gamers don't know who the person is, he is only mentioned all over the gaming community when it comes to shooters… heck, they envy him..."

Asuna looked at Cody, seeing his reaction, 'Guess it is true… Snipe only cares for games… Nothing else.' She said in her thoughts, disappointed.

Cody then shook his head before returning his attention towards the Gashat, "So… Popp-... Asuna… I'm wondering…" He turned to her, "Is.. it possible if I can use this to get into U.A. High?"

"Well… seeing as how Quirks cannot beat a Bugster since it is dangerous process…" She pondered. "I don't see why not since you and the other person who has the Game Driver, are the only ones able to beat a Bugster while saving the host."

Cody smiled softly, hearing those words from her, "Thank you Poppy…." He said to her, only to notice the time as he sighed, "Best I should head down… dinner will be ready soon…." He frowned softly, standing up. "Just try not to make too much noise or come down. I don't know what they'll say to me bringing home a girl now."

He opened the door, only for him to see Alice who stumbled and fell to the ground as if she was eavesdropping.

"A-Alice?" He got out, his eyes widen as he looked at her, "How… much did you hear?"

His younger sister quickly stood up, "I heard everything!" She beamed.

He groaned to himself, "Alice… please, please! Don't tell them…" He begged her, "This may be my only chance to getting into U.A. High!"

She stared at Cody before looking back at the hall of the house then at him once more. "I won't."

"You… won't…?"

Alice smiled. "You have dreams big brother! I know Aurora thinks dreams are dreams but that doesn't mean we can't make it happen in order for it to come true!"

Cody blinked before he smiled, kneeling down to hug her, "Thank you Alice.." He said happily to her, "So… in return for not telling anyone, you can play this game, all you want." He moved to the side, showing her Poppy and the arcade.

"Who's the nurse?"

"I'm Asuna," She patted the little girl, "Let me show you something." Her smile grew as she spun around, musical melodies forming as she went inside the game, revealing her pop idol form. "In reality, I am Poppy Pipopapo~!"

Alice's eyes widen brightly as she quickly rushed into the room, giggling loudly, "This is awesome!"

"Just try not to tell anyone about this either and again, you'll be able to play this all you want." He offered her.

"Okay!" She looked at the game console then at Cody. "Do you have a quarter?"

The sun began to drop as night quickly began to approach. In the living room Cody sat on the chair, while in front of him were his older sister, along with his parents as the talk about U.A. High was about to began. The young teen was nervous and was showing a very sadden face. It was obvious he knew what they were going to say and he rather just get it over with.

"So…. I know this talk is about U.A. High…." He sighed sadly, "Just tell me the truth and leave me be…"

"Cody, we understand how you feel… really," His father explained. "But you think it is wise to go to U.A? I mean there are plenty of other area to be a hero such as police, firefighters, even doctors."

"I don't want to be any of those…" He denied. "While they do help out….. They don't do anything that will change the world." He looks at them, "The reason I want to be a real hero, like that of All-Might and those two legendary Riders, is because they would have the power to protect the world… I want people to see me and feel safe, never scared, or even fear for their lives….. I don't want to be on the sidelines, knowing others are in danger, I rather be in the center and the target so the people can get out safely."

"Do you know the dangers of being a hero, Cody?" His mother spoke up.

"Yes… I do…" He nodded, "I know the risks are extreme…. But isn't being in this world filled with Quirk's already that extreme? What's the problem if I want to be apart of that world now?"

"We just don't want to see you get hurt Cody, especially after that day…"

He frowned, rubbing his left side, tracing along the deep scar he was given during that day, "I know…." he nodded, "But I want this mom, dad, Aurora." He looked up at them, determined to enroll in U.A. High, "I want to enroll in U.A. and become a hero!"

The three became quiet upon hearing Cody's declaration. The family pondering over his intentions as Aurora looked at him, seeing his determined eyes and the power they held.

"Cody…. Why do you want to be a hero anyways? Why go so far for something that barely many other couldn't do?" Aurora asked him.

Cody slowly lowered his head, looking at his hands. "During that time under the rubble, the time I was in that severe pain from the attack… He came to help me when all others either ran, gave up, or simply ignored me…" He looked at her, "All-Might helped me out and told me that I shouldn't give up. If I want to live, I need to prove to him what made me want to keep going. At first… I didn't know what to think… What to say… But upon seeing him stop those things, I realized that I wanted to do the same thing as him." He fist clenched tightly, "I want to be a protector of the people, one who can defend anyone without fear, and without sacrifice. I want to be a hero, because it calls out to me, from the very depths of my soul."

His parents looked at each other for a moment before looking at Cody. "Alright…"

"Huh?" He blinked.

"We'll let you apply…" his mother said, pulling out an actual application forum to U.A.

"We were discussing this earlier today on the phone. And… we wanted to see why you truly wanted to go there. So.. I pulled a few connections and all you need to do, is write this, and you'll be on a trip to Japan to U.A High…." Aurora said to him.

Cody's eyes lit up with hope. "Really!?" He hugged them. "Thank you! Thank you! I promise I won't let you guys down!"

"Though… I will be accompanying you to Japan. I can't let you live there on your own." Aurora said to him. "We'll leave in a few days to let you get comfortable there…"

"Can I bring the arcade machine?"

"Why do you want to bring that big thing with you? You have enough games as it is." She argued.

Cody tried to find an explanation but how? Like they would believe that the character in the game is actually an assistant for the two Gamer Riders? "Well…" He tried to answer.

"It's cause, it's an old relic to your company, sis!" Alice said, walking into the room. "It's a GENM product, and I think it would be good to show it to your boss."

"What?" She blinked. Alice dragged them to Cody's room, showing the game before pointing at the scratch marks on the very lower corner of the console. "See? When I was about to play it again, I saw that symbol. Isn't it from the place you work?"

"It… it is…" Aurora nodded before sighing, "Guess I literally have no choice but to bring it with us then…. I'll call my boss..." She grabbed her phone and left the room.

Alice and Cody looked at Poppy who made herself known. "So GENM made you and your… home?"

"They also designed the Gamer Driver and the Gashats," She smiled.

"Geez… just how smart are they?" Cody got out, before looking at Alice before hugging her once more, "I seriously owe you big time for this, Alice…"

"Promise me you'll get an autograph from Mount Lady, and we'll be good." She giggled.

"The giant heroine? Heh, consider it done." Cody smiled at her.

"Take care of my big brother, Poppy!" She said to the idol.

"Sure thing, Alice-chan," She waved. "Your brother will be the next Kamen Rider before you can say Do-Re-Mi-Fa."

"Heh, right… Forgot that's what they were called." He chuckled before pondering a name. "Hmm… what about… Kamen Rider Action-Man?" He asked the two for a name.

"Nope!" She twirled around before pointing at Cody. "The name of the Gashat is for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!"

"Ex-Aid?" He blinked, "That's a.. odd name….."

"Extreme Aid." She winked.

"Wait… that's a title for a doctor!" He got out, "Did you make that name because of my parents?"

"That along with my disguise and the CR since they are also a medical team."

He groaned softly, "Great… can't change it now…" He sighed, "Ex-Aid it is… and I thought I would get a cool name like with Brave and Lazer…"

Two weeks passed as the day to Japan and the day before the test to U.A. has come. Cody and Aurora had their bags while the Do-Re-Mi-Fa Beat machine was sent ahead of time. The two siblings hugged their parents and Alice as they get ready to board the plane.

"Now, you do what Aurora says there, alright? We don't want any incident with you at the school." Their mother said to them.

"Mom… I'll be fine…" Cody groaned.

"And stay safe, don't let anyone push you around," His father added.

"Heh, they'll think twice before they can try." Cody smirked softly, before turning to Alice, "And I do hope you all can come once and awhile for either a visit, or at least for vacations."

"I will," She nodded.

"Oh and don't sneak away with those Treat Sugars in the morning," Alice froze as his parents looked at her.

"Alice, what did he mean by that?" Their mother smiled but behind that smile was somewhat a way of showing her upset look.

"I-It's nothing mom!" she chuckled worried before looking away.

Cody chuckled as he looked at the time, "Well.. we should get going." He said, looking at Aurora.

"Right," She nodded as they grabbed their bag and the duo made their way to the plane. The plane ride took a long while as Aurora was sleep. Cody on the other hand was playing his game for a bit. As he played, the screen went static before showing Poppy.

"Poppy, I was in the middle of playing a game!" He whispered.

"I know," She giggled. "As a Rider, you need sleep so get rest."

"Can I play for a little longer?"

"Hmm… nope! Oyasumi, Cody!" The screen went black.

He tried pressing the power button, only to see it not even boot up. He groaned to himself before he laid back, looking at Aurora then out the window, only seeing the blue sky from up high. Everything felt relaxing as he decided to rest his eyes for a bit and play his back-up game.

"Cody, wake up," Cody yawned, seeing Aurora already awake as she grabbed the bags. "We are nearing Tokyo."

"Ngh… alright…" He yawned, stretching in his seat as he did his best to wake up, looking out the window to see the rising sun of Japan. 'We're almost there…. And almost time for U.A High to meet their newest hero.' He smiled in his thoughts.

When the plane landed, the two exited to the shuttle as many people were grabbing their bags. As Cody was playing his game as he waited, he bumped into someone. "Excuse me." He apologized. As he walked by the person, the screen lit up to show Poppy. "Ugh, what is it now?"

"Cody, when you walked by that person, I detected Bang-Bang Shooting!"

Cody flinched, turning back to only see the people who were getting off the plane. "Was he in the plane with me and Aurora?" He asked her.

"Well…"

"... He was studying me… wasn't he?" He questioned.

"A player thinks before they attack, Cody." She reminded. "I'm guessing he was studying those with Quirks…"

"Same thing online… I really hate that guy…" He grumbled. "Does he know about me…?"

"No but I would guess Brave must have sent him here too."

"Still…. Not knowing what he's planning does worry me…"

"Cody! Hurry up already!" Aurora called out to him.

"Coming!" He rushed after his sister.

From one stand, the person that Cody passed by before had his hand posed to that of a gun, aimed at Cody. "Guess a new player has entered the game." He chuckled before saying as his hand was lifted up, "Bang."

It wasn't long before the two reached their rooms. It was in a large hotel, fancy made and given to them thanks to the president of GENM. They had the penthouse for this hotel, and almost looked like something from a mansion. It was a large space, filled with many decors, furniture, paintings and more.

"Woah… and he's letting us live here until Graduation?" Cody turned to Aurora.

"You'll be surprised with how much the industry has after the company first opened." She chuckled. "Tokyo is one of the hotspots for his games. GENM is basically the best gaming company here in Japan. People come to Tokyo just to see the company."

Cody sighs, "And that title use to belong to Nintendo…" He then looked around, noticing one door on the right that had his name on it, "Is… that my room?" He pointed to the door.

"SInce you are attending U.A, you have to have your own place to stay," She answered. "I had to bring that game to your room since you brought it."

"Just… how big is it in there?" He turned to her before she responded by looking up. "You mean… it's big as this entire living room!?"

"Heck, you even have a personal elevator to a train that leads to U.A. I don't know why, but the president insisted on that, especially when he found out you found that arcade. Guess this was one of the ways he wanted to repay you back." Aurora answered him before sighing, "Including even earlier access to any new games they make…"

"Tell your boss he is a saint!" He cheered, making Aurora sigh.

"Fine, fine, just put your belongs in your room." He quickly went to his new room and placed his bags down before closing the door and locking it. The arcade console lit up as Poppy sighed in relief.

"It was getting crowded," She mused. "And it feels good to be back in Japan."

"Glad to see you too Poppy." He smiled, setting his stuff down before looking around, "Man…. How much money does this guy have?"

"From what I can tell, he makes to the estimate of quintillions of dollars. GENM is the dominant game company in Japan."

"And here I thought Downey Jr made too much money?" He chuckled, looking at Poppy. "Well, now that we're here, we have a single day left before U.A begins…"

"Just a moment," Poppy leaped out. "While it can be, you have to train."

"Huh? Train?"

"That's correct, if you want to be a Rider, a Rider has to be prepared." She pointed out. "Before Brave was a Rider, he was a very good Kendo student despite his quiet personality. Hence the boost of an advantage as Brave. He may have played RPG games, he is a very good wielder with a sword. As for Lazer, he used to work at a vehicle workshop, knows his ways around a vehicle. He may be a bit of a delinquent, but he is a good person and in Level 3 form, a very good fighter with double scythes."

"So… how exactly do I 'train'?" He asked her the obvious question.

"Easy! We go to a clearing so we can generate a game field!"

"Wait, you mean we're going out in the town and finding these 'Bugsters'?" He questioned.

"I haven't detected one… yet." She muttered lowly. "But with training, there is a chance to encounter one along the way. So let's go to the best place to practice the armor."

"Wait, wait, I can't let you leave the room, what would my sister think!?" He pointed out.

Poppy giggled, poking him on the nose, "Do not worry! We already have something prepared." She soon pointed behind him. The young teen turned to see a small device, along with what looked to be VR goggles.

"Uh… what's this?" He asked, looking at it.

"It's the Training Simulation Reality. Basically, it's like VR, but only allows you to train with the Gashat that you insert." She explained, "With this, you'll be able to train and know how to use your Gashat before tomorrow. And like any gamer, I know you have the stamina to do it in the late evenings to even early mornings."

She placed on the goggles onto him and made him sit. "So… what am I supposed to do next?"

"You have to focus on it."

"And how am I supposed to do that? I mean, I don't know if I can-" The response he got was a small mallet to the head, knocking him out.

Cody opened his eyes, groaning in pain but when he woke up he found himself on the roof!?

"Poppy!" He shouted out to her.

"Up here!"

He looked up to see a large holographic screen, showing Poppy in her disguise. "And when I'm in my disguise, it's Asuna."

"Why did you hit me with a mallet!?"

"So you can focus on one thing," She answered. "Now that you are in VR, you can begin the training. Your Driver and Gashat should be with you."

He looked down at his hands seeing the two devices before looking up at her, "Still, you could've warned me!" He sighed in annoyance, "Plus what am I training against?"

His question was answered when digital numbers bundled together, forming a single weird humanoid. It had the head of an odd microscopic virus while its humanoid body was that to a bodysuit.

"That you see is a Bugster Grunt, one of the few foot-soldiers that are formed after separating the host from the Main Bugster. They often come in numbers but since this is a first for you, you will fight one."

"Say… Poppy?"

"It's Asuna," She reminded.

"R-Right…. Asuna…" He looked at her, "Why… did they lock you and this Gashat up? As well as power you down?"

"They didn't want the Bugster to destroy the only means to stop them. I may be an assistant, but I know where the Bugsters are as well as the equipment to help the host. The CR and GENM made the Game Driver to stop the world from becoming Bugsters. Imagine having those beings around? They form from the stress of people. Those with Quirks don't realize that they are actually killing the hosts upon defeating the Bugster."

"I-I see…." He looked at the Gashat, "So… with this, I now have a power no one else can hope to understand…."

"You and the other Rider are the only ones to stop them… Brave may be somewhere in Japan while Lazer in the hospital, but they too think it's time someone takes their place. Cody, you are one of the two chosen to fight the Bugsters."

He smiled softly, the first time he heard anyone telling him this as he looks at the Gashat, "Well… then let's begin." He said, holding up the Gashat.

From one rooftop, in reality, the person from before was using a sniper scope to see the people. Most of them having Quirks fighting the bad guys. He sighed, lowering the scope. "Sometimes… life is a Game… other times… reality can hit you…" He mumbled softly, sitting on his bag.

His phone rang, making him reach in and answer. "How's it going?" He said to the person calling him.

"Still on the run as usual, kid." He chuckled, "I take it you met the newest addition?"

"I did, Sensei, though he looks to be 16," He answered. "Even from the States like me."

"Well, he is. Plus he's now going to be enrolled into U.A."

"That school? Seriously?" He blinked.

"It may seem like the wrong choice, but his heart and intentions is pure, just like All-Might." He answered.

"Oh right… that hero…" He muttered softly.

"While we do agree on the heroes being nothing but selfish people with powers, ones like him and that kid are different. Especially of what they hold." He replied. "Heck, if anything, All-Might's predecessor is just like him too. Wanting to be a hero that protects everything than just using it for fame.

"I heard that one kid who had no Quirk literally charged head on against some sludge guy." The young man recalled.

"And he did. Ones who act before even thinking are destined for true greatness. Even the original riders had that along with those vehicle Riders." He replied.

"The Legendary Duo and the team that stopped the end of humanity…" He realized. He never forgot the stories of the two legendary heroes who had no Quirks and defeated an evil organization bent on world domination. As well as the ones that came up even before his master and teammate.

"Do your part, and you can be the 3rd generation of those two." He chuckled.

"I won't disappoint you Sensei," He smiled before ending the call. He reached in his bag, most of it being clothing and such, but he was focused on two items. He grabbed them as one item was now being held while the other now on his waist.

A Gashat and Gamer Driver.

The atmosphere around him changed the moment he held the Gashat, and a small grin etched his lips. "Mission… start."

The day has come. Cody now stood in front of the gates of U.A. High. It was a large building in well… a shape of a giant 'U'. It was awe inspiring as he looked at it with bright hopes. Several students from around the world, all with unique quirks were entering the school as the young teen stood there.

"I never thought in all my life, I would see this in person…" Cody said in awe. He looked at the handheld game console, the screen lighting up to show Poppy. "You weren't kidding about it, Poppy."

"Just remember what you learned in the VR Simulation! And we will continue it tomorrow!" She smiled.

"As long as I don't get hit with a mallet like freaking Super Mario…" He chuckled.

"I said I was sorry…" She pouted.

"Just don't do it again, alright?" He smiled, ready to begin his walk until he was quickly bumped into someone. "Sorry about that."

"Watch it next time then," The person replied hostile. He quickly saw a young teen, with red eyes, and light ash blonde hair that was slightly spiky. He had a glare and ego to boost too.

"Well, maybe if you got rid of that lousy attitude, I might be…." Cody responded.

"What did you say?" He glared as the can in his hand literally exploded, making Cody flinch. "Oh… I recognize that look. You're a Quirkless wannabe!"

"I-I may not have a Quirk, but I'll still get in this school." Cody responded.

"Listen here blondie, people like you don't deserve to be in this school," He stood in front of him. "Those without Quirks fall. It's eat or be eaten. A guy like you wouldn't last a single day here."

"Heh, and you think you will last any longer with that kind of outlook? You might as well sign up for being a Janitor!" He laughed.

Boy did he chose those words badly.

Cody was lifted up slightly as the ash blond had his hand out, making Cody gulp knowing that the fellow blonde has a Quirk, a Quirk of an Explosion since he saw the can explode. "Mind saying that again, wannabe?"

For once, he was unable to say anything right now. And fighting him is an instant expel for him, something he couldn't risk as he remained quiet… for now.

"Hey l-leave him alone, Katsuki!" The ash blonde merely glanced to see a young man with green eyes and black curly with mossy-green highlights. He too was wearing the U.A. Academy uniform and was obviously shaking in fear.

"Well… If it isn't defenseless Izuku. I'm surprised your pathetic ass didn't wind up on the news of being another suicide victim." He smirked. "Guess it takes two bird to kill with one stone, that being two Quirkless people with one stone." He shoved Cody to Izuka. "I'll have a better time squashing you bugs at the testing portion." He scoffed, walking away from the two.

"Geez.. what a jerk…" Cody groaned, seeing the hand from the other teen.

"You… alright? Ka-Chan didn't hurt you or anything?" He asked.

"Nah, just surprised me from his Quirk is all…" Cody took the hand, standing back up, "So… from that comment he made, you don't have a Quirk either?"

"Well… you can say that," He answered. "I-I'm Midoriya Izuku. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise. Cody Aldrich, I'm from the States." He smiled, shaking his hand.

"I can tell," He smiled. "So you don't have a Quirk either…?"

He shook his head, "No… my entire family does, but me? I'm the odd kid out…" He sighed softly.

"You too huh? I can relate to that..."

"Heh, though it took me almost a lifetime to convince my family and older sister to enroll me here…. But here I am and I'm willing to get things going." He smiled at him.

"Kinda like me when I said that to All-Might," Izuku chuckled.

Cody's eyes widen softly, "Wait.. you met All-Might?" He got out. "THE ALL-MIGHT!?"

"Y-Yeah! He even trained me an-"

"Dude…" He gently slapped his shoulder, "That's awesome! The closest I got to him is when he saved my life from some monsters." He said, revealing a rather large scar on his left side.

"Wait, All-Might was at the States?"

"Yeah. 5 years ago." He acknowledged, "Though no idea why he was there though… but I do remember him with the two Riders."

"Wait, the Quirkless Heroes!? I thought they were only rumors!"

"Yep." He smiled. "And they weren't. I saw them in action while I was under some rubble."

"Guess fate has its moments."

"Heh, you're telling me dude." He smiled, "We should get going before every seat is taken."

"Oh! Right!" He nodded, though right when he was about to take another step, he tripped himself, ready to fall face first but… instead he began to float.

"Hehe, you okay?" A rather feminine voice rang out near them. Next to Cody was a young girl, around Izuku's age with short brown hair in a double bang bun, wearing the same uniform as them as she helped Izuku back on his feet. "You should probably watch where you're going, okay?" She smiled, waving at them before walking off.

While the Izuku remained speechless, Cody whistled as he jabbed his elbow, "Looks like you just found your future girlfriend dude." He teased him.

"I-It's not funny!" He stammered.

"I think it is," They turned around to see a young man who looks to be two years older than Cody who has a young complexion. He has light ivory skin, dark brown eyes, and messy yet spiked short hair that is black in color. He was wearing a rather nice and expensive suit but around his neck were military dogs tags, even more he was carrying a military bag over his shoulder.

"Woah, you're applying this late to U.A. High?" Cody asked.

"Enrolling? Nah, I'm here as an assistant, since I'm not wearing that uniform like you guys." He gestured to his suit.

"Wait… assistant?" Izuku titled his head.

"Some cowboy named Snipe."

Izuku started to scream but with delight, "I know him! He's also from the states as well! Texas to be in fact." He pulled out what looked to be a burnt notebook, "His Quirk is hard to figure out, but he's able to fully shoot in any direction, area, or surroundings and always hit his targets! He's known as 'Sharpshooter Snipe'!"

"Hehe…" He chuckled, the irony behind it. If only they know about the other… newcomer soon.

"Man… do you have every Hero in that book?" Cody chuckled.

"Even All-Might's autograph!" He showed the said page.

"Quite the fanboy, aren't ya?" Cody smirked playfully before looking at the older teen. "Do you have a Quirk?"

"Me?" He pondered before he chuckled. He reached to his side before presenting a coin. He looked at the rock that was far from them. "See that little pebble? I can send that little piece of rock into dust."

"Can we see?!" Izuku beamed.

"Sure, why not kid," He flipped the coin a couple of times before he aimed and tossed the coin straight at the rock. The result was the rock becoming nothing while the coin was in its place.

"Holy… crap…" Cody got out, "That's some Quirk…"

"One shot ends a player," He chuckled, waving to the two before walking away.

Cody blinked before his eyes widen, "W-Wait… was he...?"

"What is it?" Izuku asked.

Cody shook his head, probably thinking it wasn't him. He would assume it was one of those people who respect and envy the player 'The0neSh0t'. "Nothing, I thought he was someone I recognized," he answered.

"Uh.. so shall we head to the hall and get ready for the test?" Izuku noted.

"Y-Yeah…" He nodded before the two entered the school.

With the mysterious young man, he was garnering looks from the current and new students. How often do you see a guy their age/older than some, wearing a well-dressed suit? More importantly seeing that he had some form of military background due to the dog tags around his neck and bag he was carrying?

"Say, do you know who he is?" One of the students whispered, though loudly.

"Don't know, he doesn't look like one of the students either…" another student replied.

"He seems like a Quirkless guy, trying to play cool." One scoffed

The young man snorted in amusement but he glanced at the person who said it. "Quirkless? Nope," he chuckled. "You have a name, kid?"

"What it to you, huh?" He scoffed, slowly growing over 10 feet tall, "Think you can handle me, squirt?"

To the young man wasn't afraid, only a change in personality. "All it takes is one shot to end a player," he grinned, flipping a coin before he chucked it at the person. The coin hit the person in the forehead, and with precise force, left a large mark. And in seconds the unresponsive student slowly fell back, showing he was knocked out.

"NO WAY!" Several older students shouted.

The young man posed his hand like a gun, pointed at the now normal student. "Bang." He mused before picking up the coin and placed it in his pocket. "Next time, don't argue with a teacher's assistant."

"Teacher's assistant?" A few got out, more murmurs and whispers began to flow around the school, and becoming something he rather not deal with.

He may be a teen, but even he has his moments that he doesn't want to be bothered. With his personality normal, he glanced at the other students. "See you newbies at the test field. I look forward to see what you all got. Like they say, Mission Start."

Inside the auditorium, all of the first year students gathered in the large room. A huge display sat there as a man with sharp blonde hair, that looked something out of an old time movie from the 70's leather jacket, wearing a uniquely crafted neck collar along with some headphones, stood there.

"Good morning candidates! Today is the day, you all try your best to apply towards being the next set of Heroes! Come on! Lemma hear ya!" He shouted at the crowd, though no response as the room was silent. "Heh, keeping it mellow huh? That's fine, I'll just skip to the basics. Let's talk about how these practical exams for the school goes."

One the screen showed a large area, almost as big as New York City, as the letters on the right showed Area's [A - G] on it, while the left side showed 3 shadowy images of what looked to be robots.

"Huh…. so this is that 'DJ Hero' I've heard about… Present Mic, was it?" Cody said softly, keeping his eye on the teacher and screen.

"Today, you all will be conducting special mock exams. You'll all be split up into different zones to test your abilities and take out the enemies. And attacking other students is a big no-no…." Present Mic informed the students.

Cody looked down at his card, seeing his number as 2235 in Battle Center B. He glanced over, noticing Izuku's was in B as well, while this other guy he met earlier was in A. "Well, at least we don't have to worry about him attacking us, like a bull seeing red." Cody joked to Izuku.

"I-I wouldn't say that out loud, Cody," Izuku waved his hands in panic. "He can hear us even from here."

"It's not like he is listening to us, I mean he is arrogant." Cody pointed out.

"Shut it, you Quirkless American. Or else, I'll turn you to ash…" Katsuki growled, causing Cody to just smirk back.

"And also, you earn points based on their level of difficulty of the three enemies you'll encounter," the man added on.

"Excuse me!" A voice rang out, causing the teacher to stop and put the spotlight on the one who sounded off. In the middle row stood a young teen with glasses, shady blue hair, and wearing a very expensive school uniform, "On the print out, you listed 4 enemies, not 3. If this is an error on official U.A. documents, it is shameful." He stated, "We are exemplary students from all over the world. And we expect the best from the ultimate school that helps brings peace and protection for the world. A mistake like this is unforgivable!" He then frowned, turning around before pointing to Izuku, "And you, with the unkempt hair! You're disturbing the rest of us with your mumbling… Either pay attention or leave. You're distracting us…"

"Sorry…" He replied with a mutter, grasping his mouth.

"Alright, alright. Thank you for that notice, Examine: 7111." Present Mic nodded, showing the last enemy as it showed '0' points. "That one is worth 0 points, its only an obstacle. It's not that it can't be beaten, but there's… kinda no point."

"Hmm… kinda like some raid bosses in some games where they're only meant to distract you from the time… Smart idea." Cody nodded to the logic.

"And now I hope you all are ready for you are about to begin, and remember that the one worth 0 points is only an obstacle. Now… you ready to go beyond?"

Near the entrance to Battle City B, several students began to line up and get ready. Either already wearing the equipment they need to their Quirks, or chatting with one another for some strategy, or help.

Cody sat on the bench near by, waiting patiently for the test to start. He already had his Game Driver equipped on his waist as he held the Gashat in his hand tightly, 'Well… here I am… U.A…. But.. why do I feel so nervous?' He pondered in his thoughts.

"Nervous kid?" He blinked before looking up to see the guy with the dog tags from before.

"O-Oh…. Hey…" Cody responded before nodding, "Uh.. a bit…."

"Heh, that's how some people are," he glanced at the students. "Some just don't see it. Like a game, players can be overconfident and show off."

"Show off…?"

"Sure they have Quirks but they simply show off what they can do," he flipped the coin in hand. "Besides, they will eventually fail if they have too much confidence. It takes one person to stand out from the rest, to show you have what it takes to win the game."

"Heh, I… think I understand…" Cody looked up at the older student, "Thanks…. I needed some pep talk."

"No problem," he waved off and carried his bag.

"W-Wait, aren't you gonna stay for the exam?"

"Me? Like I said before, I'm only here as a teacher's assistant," he answered. "Don't need an exam even if I have a Quirk that isn't at full potential."

"Wait then that shot you did to the pebble..?"

"Eh, just a simple thing I do. It takes one shot to end a player," He said.

"Where... Did you come up with that quote...?" Cody asked him. "Are you one of those people who respect and envy The0neSh0t?"

"Hmm?" He blinked before he chuckled. "Maybe, maybe not. See ya later. Oh! And tell those newbies including that explosion delinquent that I say, they are simply showing off, while you and the short kid… I know you two have good expectations."

Cody nodded, standing up as he noticed Izuku trying to explain himself to that teen who called him out. "Oh boy…." Cody sighed, walking over to them, "Is everything okay, Izuku?"

"Y-Yeah! I mean…" he gulped.

The teen, turned to Cody, glancing upon him, "So.. I take it you're friends with him?"

"Well, we did meet earlier, but I would say yeah." He nodded.

"I see… Did you both plan on working together to mess the other students up, or plan on taking the credit of their tactics." He questioned him.

"What? Heck no!" Cody argued. "Guess that guy was right in a way…"

"Hm? What do you mean?" He asked.

"Uh… well…"

"Alright, applicants of City B!" Present Mic sounded off, gaining their attention, "The doors will open soon, and once inside, start smashing away and figuring out how to get the most points!"

The gate opens, causing the students to quickly enter the area while Izuku and Cody saw what was going on. They quickly followed but they were unaware that a green creature was on a pillar, aiming his device at the individuals. "Hmm…" he glanced at each one, only to find the right host. He aimed the device at the individual. "Begin infection." He fired a round at the made the person, unable to feel it as if there was nothing there.

Cody and Izuku rushed inside, seeing the city empty as no signs of any enemies or students were around, "Crap! Where did everyone go?" He growled, looking around.

"H-How should I know!?"

Cody heard his game pad activate, making him reach for it.

"Why are you playing a game, when we're at lost here?" Izuku panicked.

"Cody, who's he?"

"A friend named Izuku." He smiled at Poppy, "And it's nice to see you too Poppy, but we are busy right now."

"I can see that but someone is infected!"

Cody's eyes widen, "Wait, what?!" He started looking around, now only seeing the wrecked remains of the robots. "And just where? All I see is scrap! Plus, why now? This test is important!"

"A test that can give stress to them, remember what I told you about how Bugsters are born?"

Cody groaned in annoyance, "Not good…. Any idea where the patient is?" He asked her, causing Izuku to be confused even more than before.

"I wish I could tell you… There's too much interference to give me an exact location. You'll just need to do the test and watch out for anyone looking sick." Poppy frowned.

Cody groaned to himself, "Thanks Poppy… I'll keep in touch." He responded, putting the game pad away. He then turned to Izuku who seemed daze yet confused, "Izuku…. I'm going to have to ask you to make sure you keep your eye out, and make sure you don't fight anything big and orange. Got it?" He requested, taking out his Gashat.

"W-Wait, just how did that game character talk? And what do you mean don't fight something big and orange?!"

"I'll explain after this test is over Izuku. But for now, please trust me…" He pleaded.

Izuku stared at Cody before he slowly nodded. Cody smiled, holding up the Gashat as he pressed it, upon doing so a game screen appeared behind him as a fuschia ripple surged throughout the city, along with several blocks.

[MIGHTY ACTION X!]

In other parts of the area, students noticed their surroundings literally went blocky until it went back to normal. Cody got into a pose, waving his arms from left to right, "Henshin!" He called out, before placing the Gashat into the Driver.

[GASHATTO!]

[LET'S GAME! MECCHA GAME! MUCCHA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?]

A small character roulette appeared as it began to cycle through several characters before it stopped on one, Cody simply touched it as it said 'SELECT' before floating towards Cody.

[I'M A KAMEN RIDER!]

What stood there was a chibi armored warrior, short arms and legs, a somewhat fat body and a head as big as his body. The head that now had on was a helmet that has magenta-colored hair that is spiked up to the left. He also had a mouthplate that is a metal underbite and the eyes looked like cartoony eyes. The irises were orange and the pupils were white. There were gamepad buttons that were similar to a Nintendo controller on the chest along with what looks to be a health bar.

"No way… just like the rumors of the previous heroes!" Izuku beamed, stars in his eyes.

In the academy, the teachers were viewing the places the applicants are in, fighting the machines. "Doesn't this year's group look promising?" One person mused.

"Well we can't know for sure," Another replied as a red button showed itself and pressed it. "Their true test is about to begin."

What they didn't know was that in one screen, it showed someone was in pain as digital energy surrounded the figure while on a rooftop, someone was viewing what was happening with the help of a rifle scope.

"Mission start."

Cody sighed softly, looking back at his hands again before turning to Izuku, "Well? What was your first look into me becoming Kamen Rider Ex-Aid?" He asked.

"Ex… Aid?" Izuku blinked.

"Yeah don't ask…" He sighed. "Poppy said that was the name of the armor…"

"5 minutes left contestants!" Present Mic shouted from afar, gaining the attention of the two teens.

"Oh man! We gotta hurry!" Izuku panicked until they heard rumbling. "W-Was that your stomach?"

"No.. that wasn't me…" Cody gulped. The rumbling got louder until they saw a mechanical hands grab the corners of the building. What revealed itself was the machine that was worth 0 points… and it was a big robot. The two gawked in utter shock upon seeing the machine.

"T-That's huge!" Izuku got out, falling on his butt.

"Uh… I don't think I can handle something that big…" Cody admitted, noticing several students running from the large mech, either from the size or what the teacher told them. "Izuku… we need to go, now!"

The young teen was panicking, unable to find any words before he Cody quickly helped him up as the two were about to run. "We're still at zero points!" He panicked.

"Less than two minutes left!" Present Mic shouted.

'We're going to fail…' Cody said in his thoughts, before both of the teens heard a yelp in pain. They soon stopped as they saw that girl from earlier, now under some rubble as she tried to pry it off, but she seemed too scared to react and use her Quirk. "She's going to get crushed!"

Izuku saw what was going on, recalling her words before he quickly rushed towards her. "Izuku, wait!" Cody called out to her. His words didn't reach the teen's ears as sparks began to form in his legs, red lines from his veins glowing as well before he literally jumped towards the machine.

'I thought he didn't have a Quirk!?' Cody gawked. 'Did All-Might had something to do with that!?'

Izuku was quickly approaching the large mech, he reeled his fist back as the very same red lines began to form on his right arm, ripping through his sleeve, 'Remember what he said to you, Izuku… Focus, clench your butts cheeks and yell this from the depths of your heart!'

"SMMMMAAAAAAAAAASH!" He yelled, striking the giant mech as it's head was smashed into bits, leaving barely anything left of the head, as it was crumbled up together. Sparks and bent metal was the only thing that could be shown as it began to crumble to the ground.

"Holy…" Cody got out. He looked up to see Izuku falling, and he seems to be unable to find a way to land too. "Izuku!" He looked around before finding one of the blocks he summoned, rushing towards it as breaking it open. Inside was a smokey grey medal, showing a shadowed figure with the Kanji symbol for 'Fly' on its chest.

"Item Get!" He said, grasping it as the energy formed into him, "Flight!" He then flew straight up into the air, flying towards Izuku before catching him, "Hey! Are you al-" His eyes widen under his helmet, seeing his arm and legs were basically destroyed flesh and bone, barely anything left for him, 'Was this a drawback to his Quirk? Is he that new to it…?' He said in his thoughts.

He landed on the ground, setting him down while Cody fell on his rear as students were in awe from what Izuku did. What felt like minutes, someone approached Izuku as Cody took notice. It looked to be another student, but he had obvious fancy clothing and some odd pearl buckle on his waist. He groaned before he fell to his knees. In seconds a message formed underneath the helmet, it was from Poppy.

"What can she want now?" He said, opening it as it only showed a picture of that teen, and the words "IT'S HIM!" On it.

His eyes widen as Cody swore he saw tiny creatures on the person's neck before they glowed. He soon screamed in pain, as orange data formed around him, growing the teen into an orange blob, and was tall as the gates to the testing city.

"W-What is that thing?!" One of the students pointed to it.

Its arm glowed, making its other arm shrink while the other grow as it swung it to a building, destroying it from its swing. It then took notice of the students as it screeched at them, raising its arm up before it brought its arm down.

"Everyone! Get out of here and get to safety!" Cody shouted out to everyone, turning towards the girl as he quickly got her out of the rubble, "Take Izuku and get out of here with the others!"

"W-What about you!? You can't take on something that big!"

"I'm stopping it, and getting that guy out of that Bugster." He said to her. "And trust me, I'm more resilient to it than you."

"Bug.. ster?" The other then with glasses observed.

Cody nodded, "I can't tell you what it is, but the one thing I do know it, it will either kill you all, or infect you like what happened to him."

The teachers took notice of Area B having an unexpected beast that showed up.

"When did that thing get into the Area?" One of the teachers asked.

"Was this part of their test?"

"No it certainly wasn't…." The principal noted, "But…" He then pointed to the screen, showing the Rider, "I believe we don't need to intervene as of now…"

They saw the belt in the screen, remembering the old tales of the first heroes before Quirks were known. One person, he clenched his hands softly.

'Brave and Lazer weren't kidding… they are back…'

"Look, you two need to take him and get out of here! I'll hold off the Bugster and deal with it accordingly." Cody pleaded to them before bringing his arms up, an energy ring forming and Cody got hold of the 'card' that formed into a mallet that was white with pink trim, with a pink A button and green B button. The top had some pink spikes while the flat end on the front was green.

[GASHACON BREAKER!]

"Alright, time to clear this stage!" Cody announced, flying at the Bugster as he began to strike it. Though, upon doing so a clear image saying 'HIT' briefly appeared from every strike he made on it.

The large beast stumbled back as it brought its arm up and right at Cody. He quickly rolled like a ball to avoid the attack before swinging the mallet to its leg, causing it to kneel. It slowly got back up before backhanding Cody, sending him flying across the area.

"He's in danger!" The girl called out, about to help out until the other teen gripped her shoulder.

"As much as I want to as well… It's obvious he has some Quirk that can allow him to hurt that thing… We can only get him out of here and hope he defeats it." He gestured to the unconscious, injured Izuku.

The beast seemed to now be focused on Cody as it rushed after him, leaving the others alone. "Why is it focused on that guy instead of all of us?"

"Bugsters despise the Extraction System," They blinked as they noticed a gamepad on the ground, luckily not broken.

"Who are you?" The girl asked the gamepad, confused as she picks it up, and turns it over for them to see the screen and the idol on the inside.

"I'll explain it later but you guys must not fight the Bugsters. If you do, you will only kill the host with it."

"K-Kill…?"

"The Extraction System that my new partner is using is the only thing to separate the host from the Bugster, hence the name Kamen Rider Ex-Aid."

"But… won't he get hurt?" She asked Poppy.

"His armor has a health meter, what you see around it has become a game field. You all saw the area change right?" The two students nodded. "Level 1, which he is in, extracts the host from the Bugster and then there's Level 2."

"What's Level 2 for?"

"Exterminating the Bugster."

"HAAA!" Cody let out a battle cry, striking the large Bugster a few times, before jumping up as he pressed the 'B' button three times and upon hitting it, several shockwaves ripple out as the large monster groaned as it deflated before erupted into an explosion, leaving the infected kid on the ground, unharmed.

The teen with glasses rushed to the person but his hand phased through it. "What? How isn't he-?"

"Bugsters have two rounds, you have to beat the Main Bugster in order to win" Poppy said to them.

Cody growled, turning to his left as the rest of the specks hopped up and down before forming the footsoldiers while the one in the center was dark blue in color, its right arm having small conductors while it had a top hat and cape. The grunts' outfits changed into what seems to be chefs.

"Wait, that's Mr. Salty! The boss in Mighty Action X!" Cody got out.

"Hehe… to think you have the power to separate me, boy… But I assure you, he will fade, and I will live!" Mr. Salty said in triumph.

"Heh, we'll see about that." Cody smirked, standing up.

"Now Cody! Access Level two by flipping the panel!"

"Right... " He nodded, "Dai-Henshin!" He said, crossing his arms as his right arm gripped the panel and folded it to the side, revealing a small screen and figure on the inside, the same screen flew out into a pixelated gate as he rushed into it before jumping up.

[GACHAN! LEVEL UP!]

[MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY, MIGHTY, ACTION X!]

His armor literally exploded before he felt his body burst out with the mask of what was called 'Level 1' form becoming back armor. He landed on his feet but lost his balance a bit until they all saw that he was now in a new form. He now had a fuschia colored bodysuit with black lines on his side and the left side of his body going down to the thighs, the said limbs having green bands.

The helmet was similar to his Level 1 form but more thinner to fit his head with the 'hair' having an extra spiky strand and being slightly longer. On the chestplate was the same armor that was identical to the one on his Level 1 form, only this one had some extra armor pieces on the lower sides with a green 'collar'.

His shoulders was covered with armor while the forearms were covered with what looks to be black fabric with pearl colored armor on top, reaching from his elbow to the top of his hand. On both ends are wrapped with green bands on the wrist and biceps while his hands were equipped with magenta-colored armor.

Finally, from his knees to the shins were covered with the same black 'fabric' with the front having gray armor and gray knee pads. The feet have green armored sneakers with both sides being black and have two pinks stripes. Cody landed on the ground, now in this new armor as he stood up, making a pose as the words 'LEVELED UP' briefly showed.

"M-Masaka… You can do this as well?!" Mr. Salty gasped.

"Woah…" The girl got out.

"You know what to do!" He ordered the Bugster grunts as they all charged after him while Mr. Salty observes.

"Let's begin the next level, and clear this game!" Cody declared and charged towards the Bugster footsoldiers.

From afar, the figure snorted in amusement to what he was seeing. "Guess he is enjoying the level." He observed.

With Cody, he was swinging the Breaker left and right thanks to the training as he slammed the mallet on top of one Bugster when it used the mixer to protect its head at first before it quickly switched with the bowl. He just shrugged, smashing through it before turning back and starting taking out of the grunts easily. Sending them into the air, or deep underground with a single hit until they were all destroyed. It was like he was stronger within this new form?

"Seems that you are spicing things up!" He rushed towards Cody who quickly brought his mallet to block the attack but Mr. Salty sent an electric discharge from its hand to the weapon.

"GGGAAH!" He yelped in pain, backing off before he regained some room. He then pressed the 'A' button, as a fuschia sword popped out.

[JA-KIIN!]

"Ja-kiin…" Cody shouted out the call, twirling his blade before he charged in, swiping at the Bugster a few times before he pressed the 'B' button a few times, adding in an extra strike from each hit he made. Each strike showed 'HIT' as Cody continued on as he attacked Mr. Salty left and right. He thrusted his blade at the villain, sending it rolling across the ground.

"Why you…" He growled, weakly getting up.

"Let's end this!" He soon took out the Gashat as he quickly blew on it, before placing it on the holder to his left.

[GASHUN~! GASHAT!]

He then pressed the button the moment it was inserted into the holder.

[KIMEWAZA!]

Fuschia and green energy spiked out and began to form onto his foot, he got into a stance before he pressed the button one last time.

[MIGHTY CRITICAL STRIKE!]

His eyes flashed from the combination charge, as Cody rushed towards Mr. Salty and delivered a series of kicks, each hit being 'Great' until it reached 'PERFECT' on the last hit, sending the Bugster stumbled before it exploded in flames.

[KAISHIN NO IPPATSU!]

A delightful tune began to play as a roulette of Games spun around him, stopping on the Mighty Action X game, with the words 'GAME CLEAR' on it.

[GAME! CLEARED!]

"Yes!" Cody cheered, facing the others until the girl took notice of a few grunts.

"Look out!" She pointed at the Bugsters.

He quickly looked back to see a one last remnant of the virus, ready to attack him but…..

*BANG!*

A loud shot heard from nowhere hit the Bugster, causing everyone to stop as it fell back, exploding.

"What the?" Cody began to look around, seeing where the gunshot came from, only to see nothing. "And only one shot to kill… one…"

From afar, the figure moved slightly from his scope to see his results. "I still got it…" He mused before standing up, the weapon converting into its pistol form and pointed at Cody. "Let's see how well this plays?"

Night came to Japan as everyone was sent home after that, waiting for the results of the test. Cody was heading back to the hotel, and while glad to hear Izuku and the others being alright, was still disappointed. After everything he has done and trained for, he lost his chance…. Not a single robot killed… He was going home and without being in the school once.

"Hey kid." He blinked before looking back to see a thin man with blonde hair, blue eyes, while wearing a white shirt and blue pants.

".. Do… I know you?" He asked, a frown on his face from earlier before looking away.

"I have seen only two others with that belt, the same ones from 5 years ago who helped me out."

"Look… If you want to ask me to use it, forget-" Cody blinked for a moment, "Wait… Helped…'you?'?" He looked back at the thin man, now replaced by a large man, almost 8 feet tall, muscular than anyone else in history, his hair standing tall and a large smile on his face. "N-No way…. All-Might?"

"Not so loud, kid!" He laughed, covering Cody's mouth. He quickly nodded, allowing All-Might to move his hand away. "As I was saying, Brave and Lazer were the only two I know who use that belt."

"S-So… why are you here, now?"

"Well, I was going to give this to you… But seeing how you're here I might as well just tell you now." All-Might said, handing him the envelope, "While you did finish the written exam with flying colors… you did get 0 points on the mock battle… Sorry."

"Oh…" Cody lowered his head. "So… I failed…"

"Heh. Allow me to finish, young man." All-Might said, "While that was the case for the main portion, there were hidden factors."

"Eh?"

"You see, while you all were doing your best to fight the enemies, the U.A. faculty watched every nook and cranny of that city. Watching every move, every action you all took." He explained, "And while we watch, we review their actions and give points to those who we deem of 'Hero Material'. Cody Aldrich… You risked your life for not one, but three students in terrible danger. From Izuku Midoria from falling to his death, to helping Ochako Uraraka from out of the rubble, to saving Yuga Aoyama from becoming a Bugster." He counted off what he did, "We reviewed your work and gave you what you deserved. And those points were that of Rescue Points!" All-Might smiled, "And with 3 lives saved, you were rewarded 85 Rescue Points in your exam… Cody Aldrich, no… Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. You've passed your exam… and are enrolled in the U.A. High, Hero Academia. Congratulations…."

Cody's eyes lit up as he bowed before All-Might, "Thank you, All-Might!"

All-Might laughed as he patted Cody. "No need, and remember, don't let your predecessors down."

"I promise!" He nodded before a question came to mind. "Say, All-Might… when those grunts that were left over… do you know who finished them off? I mean… we saw no one around when it happened and yet someone shot all four easily."

"Unfortunately, I cannot say anything." He shook his head, "Though, all I can say, is that you may not be alone in this school, more than you think." He turned away and walked.

"What did he mean…?" Cody muttered before he blinked at the words All Might just said, "Wait.. how did he know my hero name? I haven't put that on my Information Forum yet..."

All-Might was back in his 'thin form', heading back until he had the same feeling from before. "You can show yourself now."

The figure presented himself as he chuckled in amusement, "Guess a sniper can be found eventually,"

"Why did you help him out back at the school, and when he was heading home?" All-Might asked him.

"A sniper tracks their target after all, All-Might," He reminded. "Kid was in a situation so I thought I would provide… cover."

"Just try your best not to help him out every time… He needs to learn." He crossed his arms.

"I don't plan to big guy." He said. "Besides… a new player shows up? I gotta beat the competition. A player makes their mark after all. One shot ends a player."

The symbol of peace glared at him, "You may think this is a game, but it isn't… If you dare hurt him, I promise you, you won't be able to even touch a game, again…" He warned.

"Don't worry, sensei told me to do what I was assigned. You remember Brave don't you?"

"He was one of my friends.. Of course I do. Wait, sensei… so he's-"

"Bingo, right on the target. Brave gave me a chance, trained me, and see how he views the surroundings. Hence my sensei."

"So he is still alive…." All-Might sighed with relief, "That brings some peace to my heart…."

"Peace can always be broken, no matter the day."

"As long as I fight. That day will never come."

The armored figure shrugged, "Well, I should head back, I am enjoying the view from the rooftops." He flipped a coin and tossed it to All-Might.

"Just be warned…. Due to what happened, it means they are now wanting to target the students and heroes in training…. And you know what they did last time they were able to get their way…." He reminded him, catching the coin.

"Two sides, one result." He muttered. "I am not gonna disappoint sensei," He turned away, the long scarf flowing on his back. "Besides, a mission is what I enjoy doing." He vanished into the shadows.

All-Might stared at the spot he was at before looking at the coin, recalling the statement of two-sides. "For once… I have to agree…"

A/N: Heya minna! Hope you all enjoy this latest addition to my works? ^w^ I have also been wanting to do Ex-Aid for awhile since the series started, and yes I love it alot. And truth be told, this was slightly made during the first 4 Eps, hence the odd choices I've made to the narrative. And there will be some hiccups here and there as the series goes on, but I'll try my best to fix it.

And the reason for having Poppy be the ship is mostly cause I thought it would be a nice idea. There are some female characters of My Hero Academia that I like, but I just felt that Poppy would be a nice idea choice.

Also, yes. I do plan on adding at least 2 Legend Rider Gashats. Ichigou and Drive. Cause out of every Rider, I felt like these two would make the most sense to live and thrive in the world of My Hero Academia. But I have no idea when I'll add them, since for right now I only plan on doing the 1st and 2nd season of My Hero Academia, especially when S-2 hits next year.

So for now, the update for this story WILL be slow. So don't fully expect a new chap every week like with my Rwby fic. And the reason why I wanted to publish this early, would be due to the fact that I may not be able to upload the next Chap of Rwby Vol 3, due to me being in Florida in two days. So, I felt like this would be the perfect chance to give you all something while I'm on vacation for a week.

So, until then, later minna!
