Had this idea for awhile, might as well make it and see it how goes.
"" is speaking
'' is thoughts
Somewhere in the stars above, there are more with hearts of justice. Maybe in this galaxy, maybe in another, in this universe or in another. There are infinite possibilities for the unknown and we still yet to discover.
In the streets of the attacked city of Hosu, there's a great disturbance in the alleyway. It caused the walls to spit out a man into the pile of garbage bags. He stood up and brushes the garbage off of his black jacket and jeans, ruffles it out of his black hair, the bandage wraps around his hands and forearms, and cleans out his red eye mask. He looks around and wonders how he ended up here. He walks out of the alley and looks around, "Am I….in Japan?" he asked himself, "It looks like they been hit with some radiation. Looking so different." What see is everyone has weird and amazing features of their bodies and having powers like it's a normal thing, "Is this the future?" Before he could continue to question this society, he saw an army of monsters with their brains exposed and Frankenstein build. In an instant, he springs into action and with one swing, he took down one of them, "IRON FIST!" When his first hits the monster, it launches the beast into the sky. He continued to fight them, assisting the others who are fighting them. Behind him is a huge man with a beard made of fire and with a fiery attitude while flames flow through the lines of his costume, "Whoa, kudos on the beard."
The man turned and find him annoying, "OI! Quit fooling around and take these monsters down!"
"Geez, quit your yelling. I got this."
"Do you even know who I am!?"
"Ummm Fire Beard?"
"I AM ENDEAVOR, THE NO.2 HERO IN THE WORLD! HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW ME!?"
Before the man in the red mask said anything, he saw a monster about to attack Endeavor, "Look out!" He pushed him out of the way, and use his power, "INFERNO!" He burst powerful flames at the best, roasting it to ashes,
"Who are you?" Endeavor asked,
"I am the Red Mask, but my friends call me Hero" He gave him a big smile as nothing happened,
Endeavor already not liking him, just wants him to go away, "Go help the others in that area!" He points out the direction where to go. And Hero just followed orders and runs towards the area. Endeavor stands and looks around for any more enemies, but alas there is no more.
Hero made it to the others and see they have captured a scraggly beaten man he also sees three boys, one with green hair, one with a scar, and one with holes in his arms. He was about to talk to the boys but then one of the monsters flew and grabs the green haired boy. His body made him run to the boy's aid, "Mighty Jump!" he jumps towards them but before he grabbed the boy, someone beat him to it, it was the captured man and he killed the monster and got the boy by the costume he wears. But it wasn't terrifying than the words he said to everyone present,
"Both this sham filled society…. And the criminals who wield their power in the name of petty mischief…. Are targets of my purge…. All for the sake…. Of a better society…"
Somehow that terrified Hero, it was chilling that it could freeze his spine and paralyzed him for good. He never met someone with words that could make the strongest willed heroes into the most frightened child.
The heroes are trying to figure to deal with the situation since the man has escaped, til Endeavor told them that a villain escaped till he saw him, "Wait?... Is that…" He made eye contact with the beaten man and they grew glares at each other,
"Endeavor…." the man said,
"Hero Killer!" Endeavor yelled while charging towards the hero killer, then begin to throw his fire at him but been stopped by an old man,
"Todoroki, wait!" He stopped him because the boy is next to the killer. But the kid got himself free from his grip, he was ready to defend himself but he grew scared and so everyone else as the hero killer starts walking towards them,
"You fakes... If I don't fix it… If someone isn't stained with blood...!" chills went down everyone's spines as he kept walking despite being beaten up, he kept walking and the sound of his voice is like speaking to Death itself. Like Death itself, here to claim their lives, "If I don't reclaim my hero status…." with each step, the air gets colder, "Come! Just try me…. You fake!" His aura grew and grew, it was a horrible night to be a hero, "The only one allowed to kill me is… ALL MIGHT, A TRUE HERO!"
Everyone stand and fall in fear as they never felt this much despair in their lives, it was the turning point that they won't be able to fight him with their blood frozen and bodies become solid. But suddenly, the hero killer stopped in place as he went out cold. Hero's eyes glowed and scanned the unconscious man's body, it turns out his broken rib fractured his lung, but Hero was so scared he couldn't say a word to everyone. Soon the ambulance came and took those who were injured to the hospital.
Hero, however, was taken to the police department because they don't recognize him as a licensed hero.
Hosu Police Department - Interrogation Room
Hero sits in a barely lit room with the chief of the Hosu Police, a man with a dog head, Kenji Tsuragamae. He gave Hero a good look, scratched his nose and cleared his throat, "So you don't know what a quirk is woof?" he asked,
"Yes," Hero answered,
"You don't know that you have required a license to be a hero, woof?"
"Yes"
"You believed this is the future, woof?"
"Yes"
"What year you come from, woof?"
"2018"
"This is 2018, woof'
"Wait, what? This is gotta be a mistake. There should never be this many people with powers"
"Why you think that, woof?"
"Because in 2018, there's only a handful of people with powers and they're aliens. I'm an alien. How can Earth have this many people with superpowers?" He was baffled by this world, it's foreign to him because he does not know about this world nor it's history,
Tsuragamae looked at him one more time, then talked to him with a straight face, "For about seven generations, 80% of the world has a quirk, woof. And we have no contact beyond our solar system, so alien contact is impossible woof. What are you telling me is that you come from another earth where there are only less superpowered beings and have made contact with alien life? And you are also an alien too, woof?" He finds the alien part very interesting and plausible,
Hero looked at the dog man, shocked that he possibly crossed dimensions or possibly crossed universes without knowing, but he kept his cool and answered, "Yes. I do believe that. And I am not lying to you nor am I insane. I am Hero, hailed from the planet known as Rainbow. Protector of life, bringer of justice, and uniter of peace." He showed no hesitation or fear when he spoke the truth.
The chief of police got up and left the room, he goes to one of his men with a quirk to tell if anyone is telling the truth or not, "Is he telling the truth, woof?"
"Sir, you may not believe this, but he is telling the truth" his boss looked at him with shocked, "I know that's impossible but he is telling the truth." Both of them stood there, wondering what to do with the visitor. And with the news of the hero killer and attack on Hosu, it would be even more chaotic than they can handle. And would cause trouble if the government got word of his origin, "You think this would be a good idea?"
"Yes, with everything else going on. This will be swept under the carpet, woof"
"And what about him?"
"I'll inform All Might and the pro heroes along with the teachers in UA. I'm sure they can have good use out of him, woof" He goes back to the room and speak with Hero, "I'll inform some associates, how good are you with teaching, woof?"
"Well I did a had a part-time job working as a teacher assistant"
"That could be good of a reference. Also, I need you to fill out this application, woof" He gives him an application for a hero license, "Fill it out and we'll see if you qualified woof." Tsuragamae left the room again.
Hero filled out his application with all the honesty he has
Name: Hero/Alias: Red Mask/Age: UNKNOWN/DOB: December 30/Gender: Male/Height: 183 cm/Eye Color: Red/Hair Color: Black/Blood Type: Type A /Quirk: UNKNOWN
He also filled out some questions as an exam. Once he completed his application, the chief came back and review his application, he's impressed by his answers but not his basic information when his age and a quirk are left unknown, "Why are they unknown?"
"I don't know how old am I nor what can I call my quirk'
"That explains why the year of your birth is blank but the name of your quirk is not that hard"
"Well, how can I put this, my powers are multiple. Meaning I have many powers due to being connected to my ancestors. Though they can drain me like batteries in a Gameboy*"
"Interesting" He did some rewriting on his application, "How about this?"
Hero read his revised application:
Name: Hero/Alias: Red Mask/Age: 20/DOB: December 30/Gender: Male/Height: 183 cm/Eye Color: Red/Hair Color: Black/Blood Type: Type A /Quirk: Legacy
"It sounds fitting. Now what?" Hero asked,
The chief of the police have looked over on what to do with the alien visitor, since he probably have no income nor a license to do hero work. What can this man do? He think back and remember that UA will be offering internship to upcoming teachers, "Do you have any experiences in teaching?" he asked Hero,
"Why yes, I took some college courses during my travels. But that is well complicated, I finish all my credit hours but never started an internship because I started another journey. So I never completed my degree. Why you ask?"
"This school is offering paying internship for newcomers, but before I can give them my word about you. I want you to answer me a series of questions about your education knowledge and see how fit you are as a teacher"
Hero just nods and began answering that the chief of police asked him about. Most of the questions were about his mental state, his tolerance towards students, and his teaching method which how is the major thing about the job. Frankly he passed, "Congrats, you seem qualified for the internship. You'll be heading to Tokyo first thing in the morning, you'll be job shadowing a teacher in his class"
"What class is that?"
"Class 1-A of UA High School" He gave Hero a file of the students and information about their quirks, "These student might be a handful for you, but what matters right now is that if you can take it?"
'I'll do it!" He exclaimed, "No job is too small or too big"
"That's good, now if you excuse me. I got to visit some boys in the hospital" He began to leave, "Don't cause too much trouble"
"I won't, I promise you that" He gave a salute to him,
"Also, you might need to update on your costume. You may look strong but you need more protection for yourself," he said, "I wonder though. Why is your name Hero? It sound very strange and generic"
"Well it's the only name I know. I can't remember my real name. I don't even remember who my parents are"
"Oh I am sorry to hear that. Maybe one day you'll find those answers. But for now, try to settle into your new environment." He left the police station.
Hero looked at himself and noticed how he barely can be able to protect himself with just a jacket and jeans, so he comes to a conclusion to get an update on himself. Now he wonders what to do now since he has no one he can turn to or anything that he's familiar with, so he decided to visit those boys that the chief mentioned passing the time.
Hosu Hospital
Hero walked around the hospital, looking around, 'This place is like a normal hospital. Except with extraordinary people' He sees people with added limbs, markings on their bodies, and look like aliens themselves, 'Compare to them, I look human' He then comes across the boy from last night, the same green-haired kid, but now in crutches. He goes to him, "Hey Kid"
He turned to Hero, "Hey you're from last night"
"Sure am What's your name, boyo?'
"Izuku. Izuku Midoriya"
"Midoriya, nice to meet you. My name is Hero"
"Hello Hero" He smiled but then thought of something, "Why are you here?"
"To visit you and your friends" He gave him a bright smile,
"But we're strangers. Why would you visit strangers?"
"Why does a hero save strangers? I simply came to raise your spirits up after last night. I thought it might be traumatic for you guys" His spirit is high and standing tall and proud in front of Midoriya,
"Well, it was. But compared to everything else, it's not that bad" Izuku looked at him in the eye, giving him the reassurance that he's fine, Hero just smiled after looking into his eyes,
"One thing about being a hero, is being able to throw away your fears and focus on the task ahead," Hero said and Izuku agreed, "Maybe I should talk to your friends, I'm sure they would like a good talk to make them feel a bit better"
"Yeah. Maybe you're right"
"Lead the way, broccoli head," he said then follows Izuku to his room where he and his friends are. He opens the door and walks in,
"Iida, I just got off the phone with Uraraka and…"
"Midoriya…" said the boy with the scar on his face, "Iida got his diagnostics" then the boy named Iida explained his injury to him stating that he will be facing long-term nerve damage in his left arm, that he will have complications moving and feeling his left arm. But he also said that he could get better once he gets a nerve transplant, but then he explained his faults,
"When I found out the hero killer, my mind went blank. I should have told Manual before doing anything else. I may hate him, but he wasn't wrong" His mind flashback to his encounter with the hero killer, "So… Until I succeed in becoming a true hero…. My left hand will serve as a reminder."
Izuku looked at Iida with grief, blaming himself for his injuries, 'I should've followed through back then….' he thought, but made a second thought about blaming himself, 'No… Nevermind that. Iida already gets it. Apologizing would be insulting' he spoke, "Iida. I… feel the same way." He raised his fist to him, making a reminder that they will get stronger, "Let's…. Get stronger. Together."
Hero, even though he never met these two, felt a sense of nostalgia from their friendship. He remembered his early days when it was never a life and death situation. Those days become rarer in the later years when your peaceful youth become more chaotic and dire with each step you take. He was going to speak but some beat him to it,
"I'm sorry"
"For what?" Midoriya asked,
"Whenever I'm involved…. It feels like… People's hands get messed up or something"
Hero, Izuku, and Iida stood there in shocked for a second and laughed their asses off, "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! What are you even talking about!?" Izuku yelled,
"Looks like even Todoroki knows how to make a joke," Iida said,
"No, I'm not joking. Just call me "The Hand Crusher"..." Todoroki said,
"The Hand Crusher!" Both yelled while laughing,
"Oh boy. You boys are something! You guys have huge potential as heroes!" Hero said, then Iida turned his head,
"Who are you, sir?"
"My name is Red Mask. But you can call me Hero"
"What an odd name" Todoroki pointed out,
"Well my name is Tenya Iida" He gives Hero a polite bow,
"I'm Shoto Todoroki"
"Nice to meet you boys, I already met your friend, Midoriya" Hero then bowed in response to Iidas,
"Why you come here, Hero?" He asked,
"Well to lift your spirits up. But you boys beat me to it" He sits down on a stool, "You boys got your work cut out for ya. Facing a serial killer, remind the time when I fought demons made of blood. Man those were the times when we were at our prime"
"Demons made of blood?" Izuku asked,
"Yeah, I faced supernatural creatures. Though it wasn't easy, especially when they were indestructible."
"How did you beat them?'
"Well Midoriya, my great great great great great grandmother was a knight under the French army, the one thing I learned is to trust the creator with his blessed items. So I used a sword blessed by a holy man and strike them down with my might." He makes movement how he took them down like an old man telling his stories from the war, "I remember when I got hit by a huge flood and woke up in a new world unknown to me since I never leave my home"
Iida take interest in his stories, "You seemed to have an interesting life, tell us more"
The alien stopped an think what to tell them about, and he thought of a good story, "May I tell you boys about the creation of the universe?"
The three students looked at him with questioning expression, they sit silently as they listen to the man's tale,
"In the beginning, there was darkness, an endless void where there is no life nor color. But then a big bang have erupted and the creator was born and life was blooming, the being have one purpose and it was creation. When the creator created the first world, it bloomed color, it was overflowing with it. It was the brightest and liveliest that was ever created in the pitch black universe. So the creator uses the planet's color and spread it across the universe and thus life began. The planets were created and each one have a unique color that represent what they are. They each stand out in the galaxy they inhabited. But none were special like the first planet that the creator have made. It named the planet, Ota Oowa. Or Rainbow in the common human language."
The three boys were intrigued by his tale of creation, and it's strange origin of colors. Shoto raised his hand, "Why Rainbow?"
"Excuse me?" Hero asked,
"Why is it named Rainbow?"
"Well Ota Oowa is Lakota for many colors, a rainbow have many colors. One of the worlds the creator was interested in, was Earth. One of the people that lived there is the Lakota tribe have an interesting language and meanings. So the origin came from the tongue of the buffalo people."
"What an interesting explanation." Iida said, "You seem quite the storyteller, Hero"
"Why thank you, Iida. I have many tales to tell but there is enough time for another day"
Few Days Later….
UA High School, Class 1-A
The class is back, Sero and Kirishima are making fun of Bakugou's haircut, the girls are talking about their time with the pro heroes. Mina being jealous of Jirou for being involved in actual hero work, and Tsuyu helping out capturing some criminals. Some of the students are talking about the recent of the hero killer and the attack on Hosu. It was loud house of interesting conversations. It wasn't long til their homeroom teacher, Aizawa enters the classroom along with Hero, with that, everyone immediately goes to their seats, "Alright before we begin, please welcome...Red Mask. He is a new intern the school hired to earn his degree in education. He'll be keeping an eye you all, especially you troublemakers." He looks at Izuku with an annoyed glare,
"Please to meet you, I am Hero. I came from America and I am pretty fluent in my Japanese, so you won't have trouble speaking to me. And I hope to be a great help to you all and not much a burden to you all" He sits down next to Aizawa's desk,
"With that done, Everyone begin your report on your internships. You have until tomorrow morning to complete" Aizawa said, "And Hero make sure they don't slack off."
"You got it!" He gives the thumbs up,
Kaminari started mumbling, "What is he going to do? Pat my head?"
"I heard that" Hero said after shocking him with his electric powers,
"OW! How did you hear that?!"
"Enhanced hearing, something you gotta watch out for." And with that, Kaminari stayed silent as the rest of the class worked on their reports. But Izuku gained an interest in Hero and his quirk,
'Hmmmm enhanced hearing and electrical shock? But on the news, I have seen him use super strength and flames. How is that possible? Copying like Monoma?" He then feel a slight pain in his shoulder and met Hero's glaring eyes,
"No daydreaming, Midoriya" He said, "Time is unforgivable and wasting it will make things worse"
"Yes. Hero" He continued his report till the bell ring for the next class. As Hero left the room with Aizawa, he grabbed Hero's shoulder,
"Someone wants a word with you. But he has to teach first. You might want to stick around with the students to have a chat with him" and Hero nods and goes back to the classroom.
Not long after, the Symbol of Peace, All Might has arrived, " I am….Coming through the door like a normal person!" Hero couldn't help but chuckle over his campy personality, "You must be Hero! Nice to meet you"
"Pleasure is all mine" they both shake hands, "So what this class?" Hero asked,
"Battle Training, today we'll test the kids in how much they have grown over the past semester"
"Oh like a fitness test?"
"Sort of. Now everyone, get your hero costumes on and ready, we'll begin right away!"
"Right!" the entire class yelled and left to suit up, leaving the two teachers alone,
"So what do you want to talk to me about?" Hero asked, then All Might looked at him with a sign of curiosity,
"I heard that you are from another world, are you not?"
"I am indeed from a another Earth, but different than yours" Hero then poked his chest, "Also get out of that form, I can tell that is not your real form"
"How is your world any different than ours?" All Might asked then starting to deflate to his original form,
"In my world, heroes isn't a real job. And the supernatural and extraterrestrial life exist, I mean look at my blood" He cuts himself with a pair of scissors and his multi color blood flow out of his arm,
"I see. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. So anyway, the only super powered individuals is my team. Then I passed the torch to those who wanted to do right. Those who believed that injustice needed to be answered"
All Might then puffed up into his muscular form, "I like your beliefs!" He patted his shoulder, "You and I are going to be great friends!"
"I thought we already are?" They both share hearty laugh.
Ground Gamma
Hero watched the students show what they got, he's kinda impressed how they managed to across from point A to point B, it's amazing to see how there are schools that teaches them the basics of mobility. He wonder about his idea for a school, private but more accessible to those who wish to be next generation of heroes. He wonder what this world have in store for him, 'Seriously Hero, a teacher? You save the goddamn world a couple years ago!' Hero feeled annoyed, "Zero, shut up. We- I mean I don't have much of a choice. We don't exactly know anyone here?" Zero in his head starts giving him headaches and hero winces, 'You're lucky that I was still knocked out, otherwise I would talk you out of this' Hero pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "When will you gained a new body?"
'Oh when you start separating me from yours, but you can't because that would knock you and blah blah fucking blah. You know I would gladly wake your ass up if you just do it'
"How about later, I got kids to look over. Though, I have a strange feeling that a deep truth will unearth as long as we stay in this world" His hand started to tremble as he feel chills down his spine, "And I have a feeling that our past will come to haunt us."
A/N: Hey. Thanks for reading this and continue reading the rest. I should point out that Hero is OP, but before you start raging in the comments. First off, his name Hero may be generic and strange as fuck but then again there's a character named Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu so who am I to judge. He take the name to heart since he can't remember what his real name is, why he pick 'Hero' is in the next chapter. Hope you guys give this story a chance. As much as I want to show more of the world I created, but that would be info dumping, so I take it one step at a time.
