Years ago in China a baby was born. This child was born glowing. This incident changed the world. Ever since then the awakening of superpowers or Quirks happen more and more in the world. Now 80% of the population has a quirk of some kind, this led to the dream profession. Superheroes are real.
Today there are schools that train the next generation of heroes. What defines a hero? Is it someone so powerful they can never loose or is it a person who help others not matter what the cost. Fame, fortune, pride, responsibility; there are many reason why people become heroes. This is the story of a teen who strives for own definition of hero.
In a normal home in Japan a young man looks forward to a new day. This is Keisuke Jackson. Standing a few inches above average height with his brown eyes, matching skin tone, short hair he stood out in a crowd. His father James an African-American man with a thick beard, glasses and bald head was finishing up his coffee as he read the paper.
"Ready for school son?" James ask his son. Keisuke or Kei as he is called at home nodded the affirmative. James would say he is proud of son. Good grades, not getting into(many) fights and always trying to be nice he was want many parents would want in a son.
"Morning everyone!" A loud female voice said.
"Morning Honey."
Honoka Jackson was a Japanese women of average height who looked good for age. She has black hair done up in a pony tail was long enough to read the middle of her back and hazel came into the room with large smile on her face like always. Mrs. Jackson gave her husband and son large hug while grabbing a cup of the holy mocha for herself.
"Already dressed for work I see" Her husband said eyeing her.
She smiled again seeing the look on her husband's face. She was currently wearing her hero uniform that consisted of purple body suit with red boots and domino mask over her eyes.
Honoka Jackson aka The Siren Hero: Banshee
Quirk Banshee: Her vocal cords allow her to modulate her voice to change between a very soothing voice or ultrasonic scream the a can shatter almost anything. However over use can become tire for prolonged used as an ultrasonic scream.
"Yeah I want to get an early start today." She said as she sauntered over to James, swaying her hips along the way.
"If you want I can wear the X-rated version later tonight for you."
At that time Kei knew it was time to leaving or else being there when it got weird. He loves parents, but does what to hear more about there sex life that he had to. Taking his plate to the sink, he turned to the door and put on his school shoes.
"By sweetie" his mom said as he left.
"See you this afternoon" his father said.
"Love you guy." Was he reply, well to be exact it came from a speaker device no larger than a blue-tooth speaker the hung from this belt. The voice was electronic, not like a robot's but more like a young man's voice through a radio. Since he developed his Quirk at a young age Kei couldn't speak. Hearing that voice come from that device always made his parents feel a little guilty about his condition. Despite all the teasing and strange looks, Kei decided that his was going to live his life to the best of his abilities. He was going to be a hero one day.
The way to school was somewhat uneventful. The highlight was seeing a gigantic villain taken down by two new heroes. One you was covered in wood and another who was just as gigantic as the villain.
His school Aldera Junior High was a typical school not to extravagant, but then again everyone from the students to the teachers possessed a quirk.
POV Change: Kei
Its hard to be middle school is almost over. One more step to being a pro hero.
"So as 3rd year student is time to think seriously about the future and what you are going to do with your lives" the teacher began.
"I could pass out some career appitude test, but why bother" he said will taking up some papers(the suggested test) and tossed them in the air.
"I know you all want to go to the hero track". He said smiling. The class cheer with an affirmative shouts of YAY! Everyone showing off the Quirks. One kid has rock skin, one was was yanking at both eyeball clear out of its sockets(Quirks are disturbing at time aren't they). Another boy had stretch fingers while other bloated their cheeks in unbelievable sizes. Only two of us did show off. Me and HIM.
The teacher told everyone to settle down and not uses their Quirks in class.
"Hey teach. Don't lump me in with theses bunch of losers." The young blonde boy who was reclining in his seat. "I'm the real deal, but these guy will be lucky to end up as a side-kick to some busted D-lister. Heh" He said lifting his head so everyone could he his face.
"You think you better than us Katsuki?" A random student said.
"Let's go. I can take you all on." He replied
Katsuki Bakugo. I hate him. Well hate is a strong word. Dad say's you should never hate anyone. I seriously despise his existence. Yeah that better. I've have the displeasure of know him since preschool. Katsuki was alright in the beginning. A little arrogant, but hey we where kid. Well younger kids. After he developed his Quirk his attitude got worst. It got even worst when I was no longer able to speak on my own.
"Huh, you have impressive test results, maybe you will get in to U.A. after all." The teacher commented.
Many of the other students where commenting on this. How hard it was to get in. One even said there was a .2% entry rate.
"That's why it the only school worthy of me." Bakugo said as he jumped on his desk. "I aced all the mock test. I'm the only one at this school that stands a chance of getting in. I'll end up more popular than All Might himself and be the richest hero of all time. People around the world will know my name. And it all starts with U.A. high." He declared.
I shake my head listening to this. This guy loves to hear himself talk. Making declarations about his 'superiority' and how he was going to be better that everyone else. If being a hero was about being a self-center ass then Bakugo has no rival.
"Oh yeah Jackson. Don't you want to go to U.A. too?"
Yes. I want to go to U.A.. Just like my mom and big sister. I want to be the best hero I can be. I want to help people. Inspire others and just do the right thing. If I happen to get a big pay check then that's cool too. Bakugo frozen in place. Everyone began to whisper.
"Does he even have a Quirk?"
"Never seen him use it."
"The silent kid want's to go to U.A.?"
No one is the school knows what my Quirks is. I don't show it off, I can't. More importantly I don't want to. With everyone having superpowers it shouldn't be a big deal. But for me it is more that just that. My mother uses her Quirk responsibly and only when necessary. My father he taught me the just because a Quirk is amazing, it doesn't make me better than anyone else. Hell his Quirk is freaking awesome. Why didn't he become a hero? Well he is a hero. He's my hero.
My train of though was interrupted by Bakugo. With a roar of rage he caused an explosion. On my freaking desk, in my face. Did I mention I despise him? Bakugo's Quirk allows him to secret explosive sweat from him palms. That pretty powerful, I hope he does the world a favor and blows his penis off one night. I fell on my ass on ground. OW! Bakugo looking down literally this time.
"Listen up you mute halfu freak, you're worst than the rest of these losers. You really think they let someone like you in when they could have me?" The explosion boy ask
I get up dusting myself off and reaching for my voice box. Yes I call it my voice box, what else should I call it. I press a button on top of it raising it to the level of my mouth. My thought travel from my head to the device translating my feelings.
"Well I do have a charming personality and great smile" I replied showing my teeth. That got a laugh from the class. That's how it normally goes, Bakugo tries to put me down and I give a smart ass remark. Smoke rises from the enraged blonde.
"What Quirk do you even have? Make everyone else silent?" He yells out.
"God I wish, we could all do without you voice" I responded get more laughs from the class.
"You..." Bakugo started.
"That enough Bakugo" the teacher said. I just wished he did it before my desk got blown up. They day went on uneventful. Class quickly died down as the day went. People still whispered about me going to U.A.. U.A. the number one hero school in the country. I heard stories about it from my mom and sister. Oh yeah I haven't mention her. My sister Ayane graduated from U.A. not that long ago. After graduating she got her own place and does a lot of hero work ranging from stopping the bad guys to rescue work.
Her title is the Charged Particle Hero: Lady Nova. As the name implies her power a based on charged particles. She inherited this from Dad. Lady Nova can fly, fire energy blast, and a lot of other thing. She is also the most lovable, but annoying big sister anyone can ever have. I mean she has scarred me for life from the times she tried to put me in a dress.
But anyway U.A. produces top tier heroes and that is my aim. Nothing is going to get in my way. Not some odd from of communication or some egotistical bully is going to stop me. Preparing to leave school packing my stuff away I reach for my voice box. Before I could grab it Bakugo snatches it up.
"I don't know what you think you doing, but we're not done," Bakugo say clenching my voice box with a sour look on his face. His two side-kicks were with him.
"Fun's over give it back" My voice coming out the box. Bakugo being the ever understanding person decided to blow it up. His two cronies laugh at it. Now if I was some kid that lacked self confidence, I would be sad and hold my head down. I would have let Bakugo walk away without saying a word. However that's not me. He destroyed my voice box. I need to communicate with others. More importantly it was given to me by my parents. So after taking a calming breath I did what any reasonable person would do.
I punched him in the fucking face.
Bakugo falls to the ground and I follow him down continuing to punch him. The side-kicks pull me off of him. He gets up and hits me while being held back.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN SUCKER PUNCH ME! YOU FUCKING LOSER" Bakugo says foaming from the mouth. "I'LL KILL YOU!" he says as explosions gather in his hands.
Shit! I kicked him in the stomach getting him away from me and struggling to get away from the other two. At that time the teacher come in, sees me held by two students and being attacked by a third.
"What is going on here?" the teacher yelled.
The good thing about being perceived as mute has it's advantages. It also help when a teacher sees a 3-v-1 fight. Our parents where notified about the situation. I don't know what happened to Bakugo and his crew, but they left before I did. For me my father told me that we would talk later that evening. My mother just said she was happy I was okay and that she was going to make sure Bakugo never gets into U.A.. As much as I would love for that to happen I asked her not to. I've asked my mom never to come to school as her hero alias. I didn't what special treatment because she was a pro hero. In hindsight maybe that was a bad idea. If everyone new that I was the son of a pro hero maybe they would be unsure about me having a Quirk or atleast Bakugo would get off my back. No I want to be a hero on my own merit.
As I walk down the street I still can't stop thinking about my voice box. I know it's just a blue-tooth speaker, but it was mine. Sure I can just use my cell to speak, but still it's mine. Also it drains my battery. As I go under a bridge I am now thinking about what my parents were thinking. My family know about my 'relationship' with Bakugo. I can't tell you how many times Ayane has chased him around after he would bully me. We have fought a total of 3 times including today. The 1st was after I stopped talking. I won and he has never forgiven me for it. The 2nd was when he was bullying another kid and it was another 3-v-1. I got my ass kicked.
The idea of Bakugo being a hero boggles my mind. He everything that I believe a good hero wasn't. He went by the 'might means right' of justice. Because he has an amazing ability means he can do what ever he wants. If that's true then why shouldn't I?
Piece of shit. Wait until I show him what I can do. He'll be so jealous. I could break him with one... Stop. No, that's not me. If I use my Quirk to hurt people because I can then I'll be no better than Bakugo. No better than a villain.
As I get lost in my thoughts I failed to realize that I was stepping in sludge. Sludge that moves? Before I knew it, I was covered in it. This wasn't some sludge, it was a villain.
"Don't worry too much kid. You'll make a great skinsuit for me to hind in." The villain say as he covers me. I keep my mouth closed, but I can feel it flow into my ears and nostrils. Crap, this is not what I want. I do not want to be a part of a hentai!
"I'm just taking over your body, it will be a lot easier if you just don't fight it." the sludge villain said he begans to cover me in it's mass. He tried stop the movement of my arms so it can't struggle. I clenched my teething thinking. Shit I do not want to die the this. There is only on way out. I was preparing to do the one thing I really don't want to do. I was going to scream and it would be the last thing this bastard ever heard. That or would go it my mouth. I was hoping for the former.
"I didn't know he was in the city, I need to get out of here fast." Oh you'll be going somewhere alright, but in piece. I get my head from out of the slime and take a deep breath preparing to make some noise. Before I could do the I hear another deep voice.
"Have no fear. You are safe. Now that I am here that is." said the voice. I couldn't see anything but I could hear. I heard crashing and movement. The next thing I hear was…
"TEXAS SMASH!"
I felt the force of a gale force wind or my mom's scream. The sludge criminal is dispersed from around me and his mass was spread around everywhere. I land on my back knocked out cold. I then feel someone gently slapping my cheek. I open my eyes and he him. The symbol of peace. All Might. Tall, muscular, blonde hair. Yep that's him and he is bigger in person. My mother told me personally met him and that he was an alright guy. I caught myself before sound could escape my mouth. On the inside I was geeking. He was like 2nd coolest man I look up. I don't care how popular he is, Dad is always my #1 hero.
"I thought we lost you there for second" All Might says smiling at me. I jumped to my feat, scrambling to grab my phone, so I could communicate. All Might apologized for getting me caught up in his work. Saying that he should have been more careful and that the sewer system was complicated to navigate.
He holds up a soda bottle that was not filled with soda. It was filled with a green sludge and eyeballs. I was about to ask him for an autograph and searched around my bad for my notebook only to find it was already signed. I try to get my phone out to speak but he turned around to jump away. As he does I did something impulsive. I grab his leg and held on to dear life as I do.
"Hey what are you doing? I like my fans but this is ridiculous." All Might says while shaking his leg. Like I said it was impulsive, but I had a question only he could answer. We landed on the top of a building. I take a minute to take soundless breath, All Might's back toward me. I raise my phone and let me 'voice' flow out of it.
"Just hold on one minute." I spoke.
"I don't have a minute" was his replay.
"I have one question that only you can answer!" My reply came out in shout.
"What make a true hero?" I know it sounds likes dumb question, but you be surprised what different answers you would get. Some say power make a hero. Others heart. My mother say a true hero does the right thing no matter what and follows their own sense of justice. What I just began to notice was white mist surrounding All Might. It envelops his body. After it disapates I see the true form of the symbol of Peace. No words left my mouth, but from my phone comes.
What the FUCK!?
Chapter 1 Complete
A/N: As you can see it the main character is not going to be Izuku. As much as I like him, but I want to use my own character. He won't be inheriting All for One, atleast not know. For those who are wondering about his Quirk it is, here's a hint. It is based off a Marvel hero who's power involve particles and a quasi-sonic scream.
