(A/N: okay consider this a sequel to the greatest showman one shot I did. These will be a series of musical oneshots. Combining My hero academia with a mixture of songs. Mostly Disney. If you have a song suggestion let me know and I'll see if I can work it in. I already have a few in mind to do.
Now we ain't here to fuck spiders so let's get this bastard on the move!)
Song: Go The Distance From Hercules
Performed by School Boy All Might
The snow gently fell from the sky leaving the city in a peaceful yet murky setting with the dark grey sky above. Toshinori Yagi panted slowly as the adrenaline wears off him. He looked to the side to see the young mother holding her child checking for injuries from the events that just took place.
"Thank you young man. I'm such a fool for not paying attention to the traffic. I can't even begin to imagine what could've happened to my little girl if you hadn't stepped in when you did." The mother spoke on the verge of tears. Yagi placed a hand on the woman's shoulder "There's no need to think like that. Neither of you got hit by the car and you're both safe." She smiled up at him.
Meanwhile a woman in a yellow cape stood on a building above watching the events unfold. She watched on in curiousity and in wonder "He didn't use a quirk. Unless his quirk wouldn't have helped in that situation. She continued watching as Yagi rejoined his friends and brushed off the snow on his school uniform.
"That was pretty dumb Yagi. You could've gotten hurt you quirkless idiot!" Said one friend "Hey come on man. He was just trying to be a hero." Spoke the second friend "Don't mean to be a downer about it but he can't be. What he just did was probably the most heroic thing he'll ever do. You can be a hero unless you have an amazing quirk. It's a harsh truth but it's reality... I'm sorry Toshi." Replied the first friend.
Toshi sighed "yeah I know... I'm gonna head home. I'll see you guys later." The two friends waved goodbye leaving him alone. He looked up towards the sky watching the snow flakes dance downward towards the ground.
"I have often dreamed Of a far-off place" Toshi closes his eyes feeling the snow settle on his face "Where a great warm welcome Will be waiting for me"
He looks straight ahead to see his home City before him "Where the crowds will cheer When they see my face And a voice keeps saying This is where I'm meant to be"
He adjusts his back pack as he begins to walk along side the river. "I will find my way I can go the distance"
He turns towards the river and slowly approaches it "I'll be there someday If I can be strong"
He looks down into the water to see his own reflection looking back at him "I know every mile Will be worth my while"He clenches his fists "I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong"
The woman stood on the foot path infront of him "I'm curious young man. Why didn't you use your quirk to save that woman earlier?" Toshi looked up to see a black haired woman in a hero uniform looking at him with her hands on her hips. He rubs the back of his head nervously "oh uh. That's because I don't have a quirk."
This raised a brow on the hero "really? And yet you still rushed into save her." "Yes. I still wanna be a hero even though the odds are dead against me." Toshi replied.
"Hmm what's your name?" "Toshinori Yagi." The Hero nodded "I'll try to remember that. It's a shame there's not more people like you. Crime continues to rise higher and more and more Villians come out to cause trouble."
Toshi looked towards the river "I wanna change the world some how." The hero looked at the boy with curiousity "oh?" The young blonde turned to face the dark haired woman "I wanna make a world where everyone smiles and live together happily. For that to happen people need a symbol"
The woman looked at the boy confused "A symbol?" The boy nodded "A symbol of peace. The reason crime is on the rise everywhere is because citizens have no one to believe in. They need to rely on someone." He looks down for a moment before looking up at the hero before him "... that's why.. I wanna be the pillar that gives people hope."
The hero crossed her arms "huh.. so that's what drives you to become a hero... Even though you're quirkless." Toshi nodded determinedly "Yes!" The Hero placed her hands on her hips looking at the boy "Haha. Toshinori Yagi... is that right? Those are some pretty funny ideas you got.. you're kinda crazy."
"If a quirkless person wants to be a hero I guess he's gotta be." Toshi simply replied. The hero smiled at the boy "Well then. You've shown me what I needed to know. Together we shall help you become a hero."
Toshi blinked in confusion before looking at the woman "wait what?" She chuckled "I'm gonna train you into this pillar you wanna be." Toshi simply stared in disbelief "but how. What will training do for someone like me who is quirkless." She smirked "You'll learn in time young Yagi. Meet me here Saturday morning and you'll learn more"
She activated her quirk and jumped out of view from the young man. He blinked a few times before feeling overwhelmed with a sudden new found determination.
"I am on my way. I can go the distance." He continues on walking down the path he originally began walking on
"I don't care how far, somehow I'll be strong" He climbs up onto the bridge to cross the river
"I know every mile, will be worth my while" He stand on the middle of the bridge looking out across the city and water "I would go most anywhere To find where I belong"
