Dragon Ball Z and My Hero Academia are both of my favorite anime/manga series of all time! So I came to the decision that I would brainstorm a possible story to write about the two of them together. I know I just published another My Hero Academia crossover with Sonic the Hedgehog, but I came up with the idea for this story first and really wanted it to win the poll. But I was going to put it up anyway, so why complain.

It's time to start this hero training, hand to hand fighting, Ki blasting adventure. With Izuku Midoriya and Son Goku as our lead characters!

You Can Be a Hero, With Ki

Izuku Midoriya was not having a very good day right now. It was all fine this morning when he was watching a group of heroes fight off a villain. But when it came time for school, that was when things started to go downhill for him.

In a world where 80% of the population possesses a superpower, dubbed "Quirks", he had no superpower and was dubbed, "Quirkless."

This caused Izuku to get bullied for most of his life because of his "Quirkless" nature. All of his classmates from preschool to middle school have made his life hard. However, he was bullied the most by his former "best friend", Katsuki Bakugo.

Katsuki and Izuku use to play together a lot when they were younger, but when everyone else in preschool started to developed a Quirk, things started to change. Katsuki's Quirk was called Explosion, which allowed him to create powerful explosions from the palm of his hands. He was praised by all of the other students and was treated with respect. Unfortunately, that only ended up making his big ego grow into thinking that he was so amazing that no could ever measure up to him at anything. He started to think that he ruled the playground and was all invincible. When the other kids ended up developing Quirks of their own none of them were as good as Katsuki's and he started to boss the other kid around.

When Izuku didn't end up with a Quirk and was dubbed Quirkless, Katsuki gave him the nickname, "Deku", which translated to "Defenseless Izuku". Not only that, but Katsuki ended their friendship by using Izuku as a punching bag for his Quirk and physically harmed him.

This went on for years and Izuku lived a tragic childhood like a shounen protagonist. Which leads us up to today, the homeroom teacher that Izuku had revealed that not only Katsuki was applying to get into U.A High...the greatest superhero high school ever, but Izuku was also trying to apply.

Everyone in the classroom laughed at this since Izuku had no Quirk and had no chance at becoming a superhero, or making it into a high school for training future superheroes. In Katsuki's mind, he knew the same thing and even added that Izuku would die in the exam.

But that just wasn't enough for Katsuki Bakugo, he needed to rub his superiority complex in Izuku's face once again to feel satisfied. He and two of his lackeys showed up in front of Izuku after class and using his Quirk to burn Izuku's notebook before tossing it out the window. He even said that Izuku should, "Jump off the roof and hope to have a Quirk in his next life." It was crystal clear that Katsuki only cared about himself and didn't know what being a true superhero meant, because a real hero in training won't say such a thing!

It was a pretty bad day for Izuku so far, but he dealt with this on a daily bases for the last 10 years, so he wasn't going to let today stop him. He'll find some way to get into U.A High and become a superhero like he always dreamed of!

'I'll become a hero and prove everyone wrong, especially Kacchan!' Izuku thought to himself as he clutched his fist.

He was now walking home through a shortcut under a bridge. However, as he was minding his own business, he hears another person's laughter and the movement of liquid. Izuku turned around and saw that a Sludge villain was in front of him with an evil smile on his face.

"You'll make a wonderful disguise, kid." laughed the Sludge villain.

Izuku's heart stopped in fear as he didn't know what to do in this situation. He never expected himself to be cornered by a villain and attacked, but since he lives in a world that's full of them it was bound to happen sooner or later. But he never prepared for this!

Izuku started to struggle as the Sludge villain started to cover him in his slimy body, but he wasn't strong enough to break free from his attacker.

'I am I going to die!? I don't want to die! I can't make mom cry again, I have to be a hero and prove everyone wrong, I need to help others. Someone help me!' Izuku mentally panicked.

"HEY PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE, SLIMY!"

Both Izuku and the Sludge villain's eyes looked at the direction the voice came from and saw just who called the Sludge villain out.

It was a man with spiky black hair that was quite tall and looked to be about 175 cm. For clothing, he wore an orange gi that was secured together by a blue obi that was tied in a knot on the left side of his waist. He also wore blue wristbands the covered nearly his entire forearms and boots that clasp together on the front of his shins. He also has a kanji on the front-left of his shirt.

"Let the kid go, coward!" the man shouted once again.

The Sludge villain took offense to that insult, "Who are you calling a coward!?" he yelled at he let go of Izuku and started to make his way towards the newcomer.

'OH NO! Now he's going to get hurt because of me!', thought Izuku as he looked at the Sludge villain heading towards the bystander.

To the surprise of both of them, the man just disappeared in thin air! He then reappeared behind Izuku and put a hand on his right shoulder, "Later, Ugly!"

Both Izuku and the stranger disappeared from the scene and left the Sludge villain on his own. And it was safe to say that he was less than thrilled at this, "CURSE YOU!"

'I lost a hostage thanks to that guy. I'll need to find a place to hide for a while until most Pro Heroes call it a day!' he thought to himself. So the Sludge villain started to look for a place to hide until it was safe for him to come out and grab a new victim for him to use.

(With Izuku and The Stranger)

The two males suddenly appeared in a flat grassland that was out of the urban area where they were seconds ago. The two of them were now safe from that slimy mess and Izuku could now come to the fact that he almost died, was rescued, and was teleported to a grassland.

"What the...How did we...What's happening?" asked a confused Izuku.

"I just teleported us away from that guy so that he won't find us all the way out here." said the man with a smile.

Izuku then started to calm down a bit now that he was safe from that Sludge villain, and he has this man to thank for it, "Thanks a lot for saving me, Mr. Ummm?"

"Goku. Call me, Goku!" replied the now named 'Goku'.

"Thank you for saving me, Mr. Goku, I would have been dead without you!" signed Izuku.

"You were lucky I was in the area when it happened. I'd hate to think about what would happen if I haven't co...Hey, what's wrong?" asked Goku as he saw Izuku's depressed face.

"Oh, it's nothing." replied Izuku. But in reality, he was bothered by the fact that he couldn't defend himself against a simple villain and needed help from someone who probably wasn't even a hero. He was beginning to think that maybe Katsuki and all of his other classmates were right about him not being able to become a hero without a Quirk. He was starting to get really depressed about all of this now.

Goku decided to find out what was wrong with the kid and placed his left hand on top of the boy's head. He then started to use his abilities to read his mind and find out what's troubling him.

"You should probably just give up."

"Your son is Quirkless."

"I'm sorry, Izuku. I'm sorry."

"Deku the Quirkless wonder."

"There's nothing you can do, Deku!"

"You think a Quirkless loser like you has a chance!"

"Don't enter U.A, nerd."

"You know there is one way you can be a hero. You can only hope to be born with a Quirk in your next life and take a jump off the rooftop."

Izuku looked up at Goku once he saw that he removed his hand from his head. Goku's face had a stern look on it, the kind you find on someone that's greatly disappointed in someone they trusted.

Izuku got a bit scared and took a few steps back away from the man. Goku then turned around with his back facing the green haired boy, "Izuku Midoriya..."

Izuku froze for a moment when he heard Goku say his name, 'How does he know my name? I never told him!?'

"Why do you want to be a hero?" asked Goku in a serious voice.

Izuku was alarmed by the fact that Goku knew his name without him introducing himself, but now Goku had somehow found out that he wanted to be a hero as well. Why was he asking him for his reason for wanting to be a hero?

"I-I-I just want to help people who are in trouble and save the lives of others. I spent my whole life looking you to superheroes because of all the good they do to make this world a better place. My classmates all think that I can't be one because I don't have a Quirk, but I promised myself that I'd never let anyone stop me from achieving my dream of becoming a hero!"

Goku let the words of the young boy sink into his mind for just a moment before he asked another question, "What if the person that you look up to the most told you that you couldn't be a hero without a Quirk? What if All Might said you couldn't be a hero?"

Izuku was left speechless with what he was just asked. Why would All Might out of all people say that he couldn't be a hero? Would All Might believe that he couldn't be a hero without a Quirk too? How would he take the answer from his role model?

"I-I-I. I don't know." said Izuku as he looked down at his feet. He never thought about what would happen if his role model said that he couldn't accomplish his dream.

"Want to know what I think?" asked Goku.

Izuku didn't respond to that, as he was wondering what he would do if All Might told him that he couldn't be a hero. Would that be enough for him to give up and just call it quits? Would he fall into a depression that would doom him of a future at all? Would he ju-

"You can be a hero."

.

.

.

.

Izuku was once again frozen, only this time it was from what he just heard. He looked up from his feet and stared at Goku for a moment to see a smile on that man's face. It was the kind of smile you give someone to make them feel better, but also the one of someone that believes in you!

"W-W-What did you just say?" asked Izuku.

"I said that you can be a hero, Izuku Midoriya." repeated Goku.

Izuku didn't know why this man's opinion mattered so much, or how powerful it was. He clutched his chest and started to bow as he couldn't control his emotions anymore. His eyes started to water as he felt tears coming out of them, he cried tears of joy as he heard the words that he wanted to hear for so long.

Goku just kneeled down towards him and patted Izuku's head to comfort him a bit. He always liked making others feel happy, but tears of joy were a bit too much for him and he started to think that he may have overdone it.

"Wipe away the tears, kid." chuckled Goku as both he and Izuku stood up.

"Why?" asked the young teenage boy.

"Why what?" asked a confused Goku.

"Why do you believe that I can be a hero even without a Quirk? No, better question; how did you know what my name was and that I was Quirkless before I even told you?" asked Izuku.

Goku just chuckled while stretching the back if his head, "Well to answer your first question, despite the fact that I teleported us both away from that Sludge villain, I'm also Quirkless just like you."

Izuku was left without words as he couldn't believe what he just heard, "Huh?"

"As for your second question, I just read your mind and looked through your memories of both your past and today. You shouldn't have been treated like that, because I wasn't treated like that when I was your age." said Goku.

'Quirklees? Teleport? Read my mind? My age?' Izuku's mind was having a hard time wrapping itself around all of this as he was receiving too much unbelievable information all at once.

"I'm guessing you're having a hard time believe that I could do all that stuff while being Quirkless, huh?" asked Goku. He knows that the mention of doing supernatural things without a Quirk seemed impossible, but he had a good answer for it.

"I-If you don't have a Quirk then how could you do all of those things, Mr. Goku?" asked Izuku.

Goku started to explain, "There's a power in this world that not too many know about because it's overshadowed by Quirks. It's a force that's inside every living thing, with a majority of it being found in the center of the body. With enough practice, anyone can draw it out and use it on the outside of the body. It can be used by anyone, both with or without a Quirk. I use it every day ever since I learned how to use it, and this power is called Ki."

Goku created a sphere of yellow energy in the palm of his right hand and showed it to Izuku. But the young boy was unable to see anything in the man's hand.

"Ki?" asked Izuku in confusion.

"Think about it as a Quirk for the Quirkless. With enough practice, you'll be able to use it too!" smiled Goku.

"I don't see anything, Mr. Goku." said Izuku as he looked at Goku's hand again to see if there was something there.

Goku suddenly remembered something important, "Oops, I forget that you can't see my Ki because you haven't learned how to use your own yet, sorry."

Izuku suddenly realized that maybe this could turn out to be an advantage for him. If Ki can only be seen by a person who also uses it, then he could surprise a lot of opponents in battle when he becomes a hero with it!

"How I'm I going to learn how to use Ki, Mr. Goku?" asked Izuku.

"Hahaha! From me of course. From this moment onwards, you're my student!" laughed Goku.

.

.

.

.

.

"Huh?" Izuku was now really confused about what's going on right now.

(2 Days Later)

Izuku still couldn't believe all that had happened two days ago, which lead up to what was happening right now. He was attacked by a Sludge villain, rescued by an ordinary citizen, was told that he could be a hero by that same person, learned that he was also Quirkless just like him, learned that there was another power in this world called Ki, and was made his savior's student so that he could learn how to use it.

'I guess this could turn out to be a good thing since Mr. Goku is going to teach me how I can fight without a Quirk!' Izuku thought to himself.

He was now on his way to Dagobah Municipal Beach Park, which is where Goku told him to meet him for them to start training. Once he got there he saw that the place was a mess. The whole beach was covered in garbage and was a total junkyard!

'Why are we training here?' Izuku mentally asked himself.

He then started to make his way down the stairs before he met Goku at the bottom of them.

"Glad to see you made it, Izuku. And early too, I'm happy to see that you're excited about this." praised Goku.

"Of course, Mr. Goku. I want to learn how to use Ki so that I can be a hero like I always dreamed of. You even said that Ki is a 'Quirk for the Quirkless' yourself." Izuku responded with a face that screamed out determination.

"Alright then, let's get started." Goku took a stick from the ground and started to draw a line down the middle of the beach until he reached where the waves met the shore, "You'll be cleaning up the right side of the beach, while I get the left side." he explained.

Izuku looked at the whole beach and saw just how much garbage was on it. He was glad that he was only going to clean up half of it, "Why are we cleaning it up?" he asked.

"So that you can build up a bit of muscle. If I'm going to teach you how to use Ki, you'll need to have a fit body for fighting. Ki is part of martial arts and you'll be learning how to fight in both hand-to-hand combat and long-range combat with Ki." explained Goku.

"Wow. That sounds amazing!" Izuku was already excited about the idea of being able to fight in both close and long range combat with Ki. He wondered if it will be enough to for him to be ready for the U.A Entrance Exam that was ten months away.

Izuku decided to then ask a question that he should have asked a while ago, "Mr. Goku, why are you helping me at all in the first place?"

Goku just placed his left hand on Izuku's shoulder and looked down at him, "Because it's the right thing to do. When I looked through your memories of your past I didn't like what I saw. You were mistreated by the others kids for being different and not having a Quirk, even your 'best friend' bullied you more than he should have. But that 'Jump off the roof and get a Quirk in your next life' line is crossing the line!"

Izuku was a bit nervous with how angry Goku's voice had become. He must really not like it when other Quirkless people are mistreated.

"I wasn't treated like that when I was a kid and you shouldn't have been either, Izuku. You're a person, with or without a Quirk. So I'm going to train you to use Ki so that you can make it into U.A High and graduate to become the hero you dream of being!" Goku declared with a confident voice.

Izuku felt water in his eyes again as he let out more tears of happiness. He still couldn't believe that there was some in this world that was like him and was going to help him achieve his dream of becoming a hero!

Goku let out a sigh, "Geez kid, enough with the waterworks alright. You need to toughen up a bit." he said.

Izuku started to wipe away the tears, "Sorry, I just can't believe you're going to help me." he smiled a bit.

"I see a lot of potential in you, and I mean A LOT! We're going to bring it out of you and show the world, 'Quirkless doesn't mean worthless!'" Goku smiled as he gave his new student a thumbs up.

Izuku started to feel determination that he never felt before in his life. It made him excited that he was being taught by another Quirkless person that can fight on equal ground with others that have Quirks.

"We have ten months until the U.A Entrance Exams, which should be plenty if we work smart at this training." said Goku.

Izuku was confused by the fact that Goku know that he was trying to get to U.A High, "How did yo-"

"Read your mind." Goku tapped his two fingers against his head as he reminded Izuku.

'I keep forgetting. I've got to remember that he can do that somehow.' Izuku would remember that from now on.

Goku just needed to do one thing before they started, "Before we start, I need to know exactly just how strand you are."

Izuku was now really embarrassed about that part since there isn't much he can do right now, "W-Well I not that strong to be honest with you. I can barely do ten pushups." muttered the young boy.

Goku got down on his knees for a moment, "Just telling me isn't good enough, I'll need to judge your strength by the power behind an attack from you. So, I need to you hit me as hard as you can!" he said.

Izuku was a bit surprised by that claim. He was sure that there must be a better way to show Goku his strength then punching him, but if he was going to get started as soon as possible he'll need to do it.

"OK, I'll hit you-"

Goku cut him off again, "Hold on just a second, I need to make myself clear about something. I don't what you to hit me half as hard, or some kind of percentage. I want you to hit me as HARD as you CAN!"

Izuku took a moment to let the words sink into him. It was clear that Goku wanted this and he knew that if Goku was going to go through the trouble of training him, he himself was going to have to give it his all to not be a burden to the man that was willing to help him, "OK, get ready!" he warned.

Goku decided to remind the kid just what he was looking for, "Remember, as HARD as y-"

"AHHHHHHHH!"

*POW*

Izuku's left fist was now against Goku's left cheek, but it didn't make the man recoil in pain or anything! It was clear that Goku was FAR stronger than Izuku to not be affected at all by that one punch.

'We have a long way to go.' Goku thought to himself.

Fate has allowed these two individuals to meet and change the lives of each other as they both work hard to become as strong as they can. Can Izuku learn how to use Ki effective enough in the ten months that he has left before the U.A Entrance Exam? Is Goku the right man to teach him? Is there more to Ki than Goku's simple explanation?

The answer to these questions will be answered on the next exciting chapter of My Hero Z!

Well, there you have it, folks.

I hope that you've enjoyed the first step of this exciting crossover adventure with two of the more popular manga/anime series joined together to make something new and fun.

I planned on doing this fanfiction first, but since the crossover with Sonic the Hedgehog won the poll, I started out with that one. I just want to point a few things about this story out first in order for you all to have an idea about how this will turn out in the future a bit:

.This is an alternate universe that I'm writing. Therefore, the events of the Dragon Ball series didn't happen and will not happen because the character from that series will have different backstories to fit into the My Hero Academia world.

.Goku is not a Saiyan, he's a Quirkless human.

.Ki is the second source of power in this story, which will make Quirks the first. That way Izuku can still be a hero without one and prove to those that wronged him that 'Quirkless doesn't mean worthless!'

That's all the spoilers that you're going to get. I'll see you in the next chapter and consider this my Chrismats present to you all.

Until next time, remember to goes both, PLUS ULTRA and SUPER SAIYAN!
