Author's Note: So, I think this fandom needs a lot more time travel fic! My little sister and I discussed the idea of a time travel story for this fandom for a bit and I don't know why but it somehow resulted in this. Well, please enjoy the story, folks!
Chapter 1: Live!
The world always categorized people into two types, even from a long time ago.
Superpower or powerless.
Quirk or Quirkless.
Hero or Villain.
And now…
Either you are a person or you are not.
Either you are a person or you are one of them.
Them. The demons. The monsters. The nightmares.
Once a human, tortured and experimented, they became something else.
Something infectious, like a plague.
Noumu. They were once called.
Then, they evolved, becoming something more. Something out of control.
The dawn of apocalypse arrived with them, bringing an end to everything.
So much suffering. Screams of despair. Countless Death.
But…
Despite it all, despite everything that happened, mankind must survive.
They must prevail above all else.
And so, the fate of the entire humanity was entrusted into the hands of one little girl.
Below the black sky, a little girl stood alone on a shattered earth amidst the fallen debris. She looked so tired. Grey ash and dark red blood coating her like a second skin. A child, too young to take part in a war. A warrior. A survivor.
She spread her hands. Wounded. Too skinny.
Holding the hope and power entrusted in her.
In her right hand, All For One.
"Find the trigger." He rasped, grasping her hand with four of his fingers.
"I am sorry. For everything. Please fix this." Shigaraki Tomura, no, Shimura Tenko said with a dying breath, using the last of his strength to push All For One into her.
In her left hand, One For All.
"You can do it. I believe in you. Become a hero for everyone." Even before death, Deku smiled gently, pushing a drop of his blood inside her mouth.
"Will I be able to meet you again?"
"Don't worry, I will always be with you. We will always be with you inside One For All. We will help you. You are not alone, Eri."
Still the same brave eyes and kind smile to the very end, even after the light faded out and the fire of life was extinguished.
For the cause. For the sake of everyone. For the world. For the future. For peace.
With a strong resolve in her heart and a strong determination shining in her eyes, the little girl stepped up to be a hero.
"See you again, everyone." She whispered to the thin air.
Combining All For One and One for all with her own quirk, she ripped the fabric of space and time, opening a black portal that immediately sucked her inside.
She let herself fell into disorientation, traveling to another place and time. Traveling to the past before the world was doomed by the vile creatures. Before the Noumus evolved.
In the few moments of nothingness except the feeling of falling and disorientation, she thought to herself.
What will happen to the past her? To the her of that time? Will she disappear? Erased out of existence because of her doing? Becoming another sacrifice to the cause?
Because victory cannot be achieved without a sacrifice.
It was a sad and hard fact that she learned from the war.
Then, just like that, she landed somewhere at another point of time. There were people around her, sounding startled. It was probably because a little girl with a bloody and dirty appearance just suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"He-hey, are you alright?" A woman asked her, sounding concerned.
She was holding a mic. Just a few feet away from her, there was a man holding a big camera.
Oh, how convenience. Seemed like the goddess of fate finally smiled upon her after everything she made her went through. She focused on that big camera. Her eyes straight to it.
She didn't waste time even in her disorientation. She didn't hesitate even a bit when she called out names. Many names. Real names and aliases in mix. Pro Heroes, top ranks and undergrounds alike, their sidekicks, students and teachers of Yuuei and other schools, the members of the league, villains, vigilantes, the Eight Precepts. Everyone that once fought against the evolved Noumus alongside her in the future or she knew at the very least. Heck, there might even be an Overhaul among the many names she called.
It didn't matter because they were all a human in the end. A person with heart and feeling.
The last thing she knew before she fell unconscious from all the wounds and the aftermath of using those quirks was the sound of her own voice, calling out all the names, calling out Deku, asking them all to help her, pleading to find the trigger, begging to save them all.
To save the future.
Well, what she didn't know was that camera actually broadcasted her to all channels, heroes and villains alike watching and hearing her calling their name for help.
A 'What the fuck?!' pretty much resounded throughout the world and became the most popular three words on that day, coming from the mouth of heroes and villains alike.
In just a few hours after the broadcast, the mysterious girl earned herself one of the top spots in the trending topic.
She was blissfully unaware of the chaos she just created too, still unconscious throughout the entire day.
Author's Note: Okay, that's all for now, I guess. Stress and imagination are pretty much my fuel for writing story but I gotta sleep now because my body demands it even though my brain wants me to keep going. Why the hell did I type that? Anyway, please don't forget to leave kudos and comments on your way out, readers! Tell me your thought on this. Thank you! Love you all! See you in the next chapter! Bye!
