(A/N: Okay, this time I'm certain. After a week of planning this story out, I finally have the true story. Sorry to those who liked the story before I deleted it. However, I want to save the Confidant aspect of the previous version for another story I have in mind. But that's all I have to say on that for now. So yeah, it's also my ideaology to delete a story if there is any major change to it. So that way you all will follow this story if you like this story as opposed to following Nothing 1.0... only to find out this story isn't like Nothing 1.0. Anyway enough preamble, here it is.)
...
*Midoriya's P.O.V*
"I walk... through the valley, of the shadow of death. And I'll fear no evil... because I'm blind to it all." I must say, his playing has gotten better, "And my mind, and my gun, they comfort me. Cause I know... I'll beat my enemies when they come. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me... all the days of my life. And I will dwell... on this Earth forevermore. Still, I walk besides the still waters, and they restore my soul. But I can't walk on the path of the right, because I'm wrong. Oh I can't walk... on the path of the right... because I'm... wrong." Playing the guitar... helps a little bit.
"Are you ready to begin training, Izuku Midoriya?" Sensei asked.
...
...
"I won't stop... until I destroy every last one of them" I answered before standing up.
"Of course, and as your Sensei, it's my duty to help you accomplish that goal." He said.
"Yes Sensei."
People... hurt me, so I will hurt them.
...
All Might hurt Sensei... but I have a plan, "Sensei."
"Yes?" He asked still in his life support chair.
"I think I came up with a plan to destroy society as a whole." I stated holding a composition notebook. I despise society, despise this Quirk society... I want to see it die by my own hands.
"Proceed." He said giving him the go ahead to continue.
"If you kill the head the body will die." I started as he opened up my notebook, "If I want to destroy this society I need to kill off the heads."
"Valid logic, so tell me... what are the heads of this society?" He asked me quizically, he wants my plan to be well thought out is his reason.
"Simple. The Symbol of Peace All Might, and the hero schools. The public However, the heads of the hero society are like hydra heads. Kill one two more takes it's place." I explained.
"I see... so what is your plan?"
"Once I obtain All for One, I will infiltrate U.A. I then need to prove my worth to All Might and obtain One for All. However even with those powers I still have not destroyed this heroic society... I need to make my presence known. I will take every Quirk from the U.A's Heroics Department... as well as any Quirks I see like amongs the students. Once that's done I shall start my conquest, ridding the world of heroes and villains a like." I explained.
...
...
"A loose plan, but we shall finalize it in time." He stated before struggling to stand up. All Might crippled him to save those greedy scum. He doesn't know humanity like I do... he doesn't know what they have done to me.
I will soon teach him
...
"Now... tell me your aspirations Young Izuku."
"To destroy this hero society."
"How will you accomplish that goal?"
"By destroying them where they are weakest... their Quirks."
"And what do you wish to accomplish by doing this?"
"Do to them what they did to me. Ruined what's precious to me... leaving me with nothing."
"Because why?"
"Because I now have nothing to lose and everything to gain."
"Excellent... you are ready." Sensei said as he walked closer to me, "You are ready for All for One." I nodded as he placed a hand on my forehead.
"Nggh." I grunted as I felt power coursing through my veins.
"I have passed onto you All for One, the ability to steal and give away Quirks. However, I have only given you just that, it's your duty to build up your arsenal." He explained.
"I will Sensei." I replied.
"I have nothing left to teach you. With your skills and knowledge, you will take over the world in due time." He stated as I stood up to begin my long journey, "But before you depart... allow me to impart on you some advice."
"What is it, Sensei?"
"While you have the power to conquer the world, do not rush progress. The world will be yours, however time is on your side. Utilize it."
"I will Sensei."
"Then you may leave... and good luck."
"Goodbye Sensei." I said as I began walking towards the door... only to stop right before it, "Thank you... for everything."
"I only offered my assistance, this was all your hard work." He confirmed, "Remember that."
...
...
"Yes Sensei."
...
I have a year and a half until I need to apply to U.A. Sensei was kind enough to purchase a small home for me to utilize as a base of operations. It also a mile away from the nearest city of Mustufau, not to mention rather secluded, so no one will bother me. Which will allow me to plan my next steps.
First things first... to figure out my targets. For now I need to stay in the shadows... so small time villains would be best. Like Sensei... no All for One, said I need to do this on my own. So my best course of action is to explore the cities at night, most villains come out at night, that's just simple logic darkness equals cover. As such I shall look for Quirks then.
Moving on from that aspect of my plan, I still need to blend in during the day. I need to go to Junior High, so I can go to U.A. Some small time school so I won't stick out like a sore thumb. As well as somewhere close to home, so a school in Mustufau.
...
...
Aldera Junior High. Seems like a perfect place to blend in. On the low end of grades and test results. Not to mention the closest to home, literally on the outskirts of Mustufau. Not to mention it doesn't require a parent meeting to enroll, they must be desperate for enrollment. Works for me.
School starts in a month for the start of the semester in April. That leaves me a month to find villains with useful Quirks. Not to mention train my own Quirk.
Time to get to work.
...
*SLAM*
"GAH!" The villain I stalked yeled in agony as I slammed her into the wall, "W-What are you?"
"What am I?" I asked rhetorically, "That's simple... I'm someone who was left with nothing... but has the power to gain everything."
"What the fuck does that even mean?!" She yelled as she tried to use her Quirk on me... but failed, "W-What happened to my Quirk?"
"You mean this?" I asked as I used her Quirk against her in an act of irony, making my hair extend and pierce her in the arm.
"Gah!"
"Hair Manipulation... interesting Quirk. Not to mention powerful if used in certain ways." I said as I kicked her in the head, knocking her out... she ran out of usefulness.
So far that's 7 Quirks under my possession. Hair Manipulation, Levitation, Spring, Water Armor, Sharp Teeth, Lockon, and finally Camoflauge. Not bad for the first day, but I should slow it down a bit, I don't want my name to be on the news. I'll take being referred to as a vigilante and not a villain, for now lay low and take this slow. I have a year and a half until I go to U.A.
I best make the most of that ti-
*SLAM*
"... You're cute... just my ty-"
*Fwip* *Slam*
"Want to try that again?" I asked my assailant... a girl about my age, as I gripped her wrist and slammed her onto the wall.
"Oooh aggressive, even hotter!" Okay this girl is crazy. "But you know what would make you hotter?" She asked before she bucked her entire body knocking me off of her, she's stronger than she looks, "If you bleed!"
"No." I said as I used Hair Manipulation to take the knife from her. While she was dazed I shifted the balance of this odd battle. "Now... are you going to attack again? Or are we going to talk?"
...
...
"Talk is good." She said... ignore that terrible grammar Izuku.
"Okay, let's go to the roof." I said as I got off of her and began climbing up the fire escape... only to see her not following, "What's the hold up?"
"Can I like? Stab her?" She asked pointing her knife at the unconscious villain.
"No."
"Come on! She's right there! And extremely cute!"
"You can't just stab whomever you feel like." I responded.
"But!"
"Don't make me come down there and carry you up here."
"... Actually that would be awesome."
...
...
"Fine."
...
"Go my pack mule!" She ordered as I carried her up the fire escape on my shoulders.
"We are not doing this." I said.
"Aww come on!" She whined, "You're super comfortable... like a muscular pillow."
"We're here." I said as I dropped her off, "So what are you doing so late at night?" I asked.
She giggled, "I can ask you the same question cutie." She flirted, "Except I saw everything. You stole her power."
"Yes I did, I stole powers from 6 other villains before her." I explained.
"Woah! That's awesome!" She exclaimed.
"So your turn, why are you out so late at night?" I asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" She asked with a smile, "I'm looking for cuties!"
...
...
"Meaning?" I asked for a translation.
"I want blood." She said with a serious expression, "Blood... I need blood."
So she has an obsession with blood. Quirk dependency probably? Only one way to find out, take her Quirk.
...
...
"So what now?" I asked.
"What do you mean what now?" She asked, "I told you I'm looking for blood!"
Should have expected that to not work. "Fair enough... hold still." I said as I placed my hand on her forehead.
"Ow!" She exclaimed as she gripped her head, "W-What did you do?"
"I took your Quirk to see if it would cure you of your blood dependency... I was wrong. So I gave it back." I explained.
"So you're worried about little ol' me?" She asked before latching onto me, "Aww!"
I quickly shoved her off. "Rude."
"Anyway I don't have time to deal with you. I have work to do." I said as I headed towards the fire escape.
"Hey wait!" She exclaimed before running in front of me, "You're just going to leave me?! Out here in the cold urban jungle?"
"You seem to be able to take care of yourself." I said. But then... she looked genuinely scared. "What's wrong now?"
"I... I've been kicked out of school." She explained, "And... I don't want to stay out here alone."
...
...
"Fine."
"Really?!"
"You'll have to go under a different name." I said.
"Oh that's easy! My Quirk allows me to transform into someone by drinking their blood."
"... Let me guess. You kidnapped a student, and drank their blood to attend school." I explained.
"Yes... needless to say I got expelled. So as far as they know, I'm 'Era Kawakami'. But I'm really 'Himiko Toga'." She explained.
"And what happened to the girl?"
"Details details... all that matters is that they don't know who I am." She cheered... before her excitement died, "But... would you seriously take me in?"
"I said I would didn't I?" I responded.
"But why? I'm a complete stranger... one who literally tried to kill you for blood 2 minutes ago."
She has a point, why am I doing this? I could very easily just leave her to her devices...
'GRAAAHHH!'
'P-Please stop!'
'GAAAAHHH!'
Now I remember...
"Because I see so much of my old self in you."
"W-What?"
"Someone who has lost everything. Someone who is wandering this world, lost and scared... not having a single clue as to where to go or what is the right path. I eventually figured out my path, but wandering the world aimlessly won't accomplish anything."
"So what?" She asked.
"So... I want to help you." I said before walking towards the fire escape, "But it's ultimately up to you."
...
...
"I-I'll come with you." She said as she walked up to me.
"Then stay close. It's a long way from my home."
...
"For someone who says they have nothing... you have a really nice place." Toga commented as she stepped inside.
"I worked my way up to have something. My former Sensei, All for One bought me this house for my plan." I explained... since she's going to be living with me, she might as well learn my goals.
"Which is...?"
"To destroy society as a whole. Heroes, villains, anyone who has wronged me."
...
...
"Like Stainy!" She exclaimed.
"Not exactly." I replied, "The Hero Killer resorts to killing for his goals. I target their Quirks."
"... I get it." She said sounding more serious, "You want to steal the Quirks of heroes. Make yourself stronger while they become weaker."
"Precisely. However, I'm not strong enough to accomplish that goal. As such, I will lay low. Steal useful Quirks from villains. While I would prefer to not be noticed, I would rather be known as a vigilante than a villain."
"But villains Quirks can only get you so far... especially since you will most likely be known as a vigilante, the villains will be more cautious of you." Toga pointed out.
"You're quite intelligent." I commented, "But that is only Phase 1 of my plan. Phase 2... is All Might's Quirk."
"All Might's Quirk?" She asked before her eyes widened in realization, "If you get that... you'll be invincible!"
"It's not that simple Toga." I stated, "All Might's Quirk works differently than any other Quirk. His Quirk can only be passed down willingly, no one can just steal it. Hence why I need to win his favor somehow. But he's looking for a successor as of this moment, because he's severely injured."
"Injured?"
"All for One did it to him. At the cost of him being severely crippled. I combed news articles about All Might's activity over the past 5 years. I noticed that he starts and stops activity after 3 hours slightly more slightly less." I explained, "It's too insignificant for many people to acknowledge, but we know the truth."
"... But wait." Toga interupted, "Even with all of this. What would make All Might choose you for his successor?"
"Simple. All Might with his injury, along with his status as the 'Symbol of Peace', he would want to find a successor as fast as possible, but also as powerful as possible. All Might wants a successor with not only the heart of a hero, but also a powerful Quirk. It's despiration that will net me One for All." I explained.
"But what makes you think he still has it? For all we know he could have given it away already."
"I researched the numerous Hero Schools in Japan. None of the students have a Quirk remotely close to One for All. And if he had it would have been gone by now. Once he has given away his Quirk, One for All, it starts to leave the body of the former host. The more they use it the faster it leaves. All for One kept a close eye on the 4th holder. If he would have given it away his time out on the field as All Might would have dwindled, it hasn't."
"So he still has it..." She pieced together.
"Yes, but who knows how long he will keep it. Or how long a perfect little angel will drop onto his lap. Meaning we need to work fast."
"... But how will those two phases, accomplish your goal?" Toga asked.
"Those two will make it easier... but won't guarantee my victory. Hence why... Phase 3 will start. U.A High."
"... Oh!"
"Yes, U.A is a breeding ground for Heroes, there's a reason why it's the National School, next to Shiketsu. Meaning where there's a breeding ground, there are exemplary Quirks. Once I've inflitrated U.A and made myself appear as a young hopeful hero... their Quirks and the world will be mine. But of course... that is all dependant on who is the cream of the crop who will be admitted. But there will be some Quirks that will be useful to me guaranteed." I explained.
"But why do this? Why take this massive risk? If you get caught, then you'll be sent to hell in an instant-"
"Because they destroyed... everything I've ever loved." I admitted, "Had Quirks, had heroes not existed, then Mom and Dad would still be around... but they hurt them. And left me with nothing."
"You said 'hurt', what happened to them?" Toga asked.
"They were put into a coma. That was 10 years ago, and nothing resurfaced from the incident."
"But didn't you go and visit them?"
"No. I ran from there the moment I saw their bodies, I was too scared to stay. After running for I don't even know how long, All for One picked me up. He told me he knew what happened, and promised to train me to get revenge on those who hurt them. So I focused on my training."
"But you don't know if heroes hurt them, it could be a villain for all we know."
"I'm certain heroes hurt them." I said, "Heroes left me alone... however, villains hurt me, did unspeakable things to me... and that's why I want to destroy both. Make this world pay for what it has done to me and my family."
And nothing is going to stop me.
*End of Chapter*
(A/N: So what I added and taken off... just to reiterate. I removed the 'Confidant' aspect of Nothing 1.0. The reason was, like I said above, was I wanted to keep that for a future story. Now what I've added was more insight to Midoriya's past, and a firm explanation of his plan. Now this is pretty much the only chapter that... stayed mostly the same from Nothing 1.0, everything else after will be different. Again, sorry for re-doing Nothing 1.0, but like I said Rome wasn't built in a day... though this story won't be like Rome, if anything it'll be like... Pittsburg. The Pittsburg of BNHA fanfics... wow that's the perfect testimate to my stories. That's going to be my slogan.)
