So, This is my first real story (fanfic or otherwise) in which i will be attempting to do a crossover between One Punch man and Boku No Hero Academia. Since i'm new to this whole thing any and all criticism is more than welcome. With that said here it is.
PS:English is not my first language so, sorry for any mistakes, grammar or otherwise.
Disclaimer:I own neither One Punch Man nor Boku No Hero Academia.
"Who do you think you are?"
Those words resounded through Garou's mind as he ran through the night. He would need some serious rethinking after all this is settled. He ran until eventually his legs cannot carry him and his mind, hazy. He lost the strength to run and walked to a nearby dark alley.
'Shit, can't go on for much longer, gotta take a rest here.'
He took some trashbags, ripped them apart and used the for cover.
'Hopefully, no one will find me here'
Unbeknownst to him a strange portal opened up in his resting place and took him to an unknown place.
'Ngh.. that was a good rest. Now to find a hiding- what the?!'
When he came to, he noticed the alley that he was in is now different , from the wall patterns to the color. But most Peculiarly, the area outside of the alley was completely different, before the streets were abandoned and empty. Now, instead, the streets are crowded, vibrant and overall, full of life.
'Did i get caught?! No, that's impossible, my position was unchanged and i was still covered in the trashbags from yesterday. If so, what happened?'
Millions of thoughts and scenarios ran through Garou's mind as he tried to piece together what happened between him resting in a dark alley and him transported to a different place. In the end he decided to get out and get some information,
'With my state clothing (or lack thereof), i'd be questioned in a second! My best bet is to get some newspaper, or look at the local signs as discreetly as possible.'
With that in mind, he set out to scout for information about his whereabouts.
After some stealthy sneaking around, he was able to gather some info.
1. He's in a country called 'Japan' and in a city called 'Musutafu'.
2. There are no signs of him being a wanted man.
3. He has never heard of the pro heroes around this area, and it seems they run on a completely different system. Instead of a class rank, the heroes are simply ranked with numbers from the lowest to number 1.
4. In the maps he found, world or otherwise, he was not able to find his home continent.
5. Superpowers are a commonplace and are known as 'quirks'. apparently at one point or another, the humans here evolved and developed powers. Quirkless people are the minority and are sometimes discriminated against.
After all this info was gathered, he was able to smake a few conclusion. The most plausible of all being that he was teleported using some kind of device or someone's power in hopes it will kill him, only to teleport him to an undiscovered planet.
'I guess i got lucky, those pesky heroes tried to kill me, but in the end all they gave me was a chance to start anew.' He looked down to his clothes and overall state. 'Guess i need some new clothes. And some bandages.'
"Good night sir, how may i help you?" The store clerk asked.
"Could you tell me where the nearest drug store is?" Garou replied.
The clerk turned around to see the map before replying. "Sure, just go south 500 meters and turn left. It's right on the corner of the street." The store clerk seems somewhat annoyed that the man in front of him just wanted to ask for directions, but he helped him anyways.
"Thanks man, i appreciate the help. Maybe someday i'll pay you back" Garou thanked the clerk with a smile while heading out the door.
"Nah, don't mention it." The clerk nonchalantly replied. 'Wasn't his shirt a bit ripped just now.' The clerk thought.
"Eh, probably just my imagination"
'Sorry man, gotta get clothes somehow. i'll pay you back when i can.' Garou apologized in his mind while walking to the drug store. After a while he arrived at the drug store and entered.
"Hello there, son. How may i help you?' An old lady on the counter greeted him with a smile.
'Damn, i'm gonna feel bad for this. Sorry granny, i'll definitely pay you back someday' Garou thought in his mind. Before he could do something to distract the granny however, she offered him something.
"Oh my, you're wounded, here, some bandages, take them, no need to pay." The granny said as she gave Garou some bandages.
Garou was at disbelief. He was planning to steal some bandages, and here he was given some for free! "T-Thanks granny, i'll definitely pay you back when i can"
"Don't worry about it son, i can afford giving away some bandages for free" The granny replied while smiling.
"Alright granny, thanks a lot! i'll definitely pay you back!" Garou said as he walked outside.
"Okay, take care, son."
'Damn, what a day. i need to find a proper place to sleep, but for now to the alley we go!' Garou Thought in his mind while he walked to the nearest dark alley he could find.
As he lay down, he thought of the events that took place at the monster association.
"Save yourself, Mister!"
"Kill him before he gets up!"
"Who do you think you are?"
"Who do i think i am, huh?" Garou pondered the question as she falls asleep
-The next day-
'Ah, what to do today, guess i'll look for a job. Who knows, maybe the granny from yesterday knows something.' Garou mused as he walked to the drug store from yesterday.
However, when he arrived the place was trashed and there was police line. Inside the granny was talking to the police about something. So, Garou walked to them to find out what had happened.
"Hey, granny what happened?" He asked.
"Step away kid, this is police business" The officer rather rudely replied.
"It's okay officer, you can tell him what happened."The granny said.
The officer sighed before explaining. "Last night there was a robbery here, they took all the money this old lady have in her safe. Thankfully, they did it when the store was closed, so she wasn't hurt."
"I'm just glad that i wasn't hurt." The old lady said.
After some time the police left, leaving Garou and the old lady alone.
"Say, granny, is there any CCTV footage of what happened?" Garou asked.
"Oh yes, do you want to see it?" The old lady asked back. Garou nodded and the two went to the back room to see the footage.
The footage revealed that the robbers were masked and escaped by car. "The robbers Only took the money and nothing else. Sure they messed up the store a bit, but my money in the bank should be enough to cover it." The old lady replied with a tinge of sadness.
Garou thought of something before replying. "How about i get your money back from them? It's the least i could do for the free bandages last night."
"Oh mo, you don't need to do that. I'll be worried sick iif you chase after these thugs." The lady replied.
"Don't worry about it. I'm strong enough to deal with any city thugs!" Garou insisted on his offer.
"Are you sure? One of the thugs seems to have a telekinesis quirk." She pointed out while focusing on the footage. True enough, the objects seem to be moved without being touched.
"Don't worry. Some lame power won't beat me!" Garou confidently stated.
"Really? What kind of quirk do you have, son?" She inquired
"Well... none." He answered somewhat hesistantly.
"What! No, you definitely can't go chase these thugs. If one of them has a quirk, chances are the rest of them has one to!" The lady scolded him while making what seems to be an angry face, well, the angriest face a nice old lady can make that is.
"Trust me, granny. I have some martial arts skill that is definitely stronger than any of these chumps' power." It was true, everything he saw on the footage does not even come close to what he can do with his martial arts.
The old lady stared at him somberly before sighing. "You know, i used to have a grandson just like you, he was brave and unyielding. Had a sense of justice too. However, he was quirkless, and as such cannot be a hero, instead he opted to become a police officer. One day he chased a criminal that robbed a bank. The criminal was reported to have a dangerous quirk. However, that didn't deter him, he chased him until he finally caught up to him. His last words were the direction in which the criminal escaped to using his radio. He died shortly after. The criminal was caught, but at what cost?" The old lady told her story, looking downtrodden all the time.
Garou looked deep in thought. After a minute or two he replied. "I'm sorry you have to remember something like that because of me." The lady nodded. "However-" She perked up "I promise i will return with your money and my life!" Garou said with such conviction that the granny caved in.
"Alright, alright, i'll let you go." The lady said in a giving up manner.
"Alright! I'm gonna track them down and make them pay!" Garou said while pumping his fist.
"I'll be praying for your safety." The granny said while smiling.
"See you later granny!" Garou said as he walked out of the store.
'Did i make the right choice?' The lady thought as she saw Garou walk out.
'Hmm... let's see here.' Garou mused as he tried to find anything outside the store that can lead to the perpetrators.
'Doesn't seem to be anything here- wait!' Garou lamented before finding what seems to be a drop of blood.
'I wonder..' Garou smelled the blood and suddenly he could see some sort of trace. Maybe leading to the owner of the blood.
'Wha?! Is this an aftereffect of my monsterfication?' Garou thought, surprised. 'Whatever, i can deal with that later. Now i need to deal with this.'
His following of the trace finally lead to a shady building in an abandoned part of the town.
He looked at the building with a feral grin.
"The hunt is on."
"Damn, that old bitch got a lot of money!" Said a rough looking thug.
"Yup, i counted 300,000 yen. I might wanna become a pharmacist if this the kind of money i can make!" Said another thug.
"Alright, enough with the chattering. We will need to move these money somewhere safe." Their boss, who looked like some yakuza boss, ordered.
There is currently, what seems to be a meeting consisting of 12 people. They all are inspecting the things they robbed and are counting the total amount of money.
"Boss, i counted all of them, the amount of money is 500.000 yen!" Reported one of the henchman.
"Good, i'll take half of them, and the rest of you can share them however you want." The boss said.
"Half?! The fuck, boss?! How we gonna get only 250.000 yen?! There's 11 of us and- Argh!" His complain was cut short as he suddenly lost the ability to breathe.
"Remind me, Takeo, what is my quirk?" The boss asked calmly, while somehow choking the thug.
"It- It's called Inscientia Telekinesis- Urgh! It can manipulate the movement of things as long as you know where they are- Argh!" He explains while struggling.
"Now tell me, do you think i know where your neck is?" Takeo nodded.
"Then, calm down and accept your cut." He said while releasing Takeo. He gasped for air while trying to get back to his seat.
"U-um Boss, please be a little more considerate. There's 11 of us and we t-think you could spare just a little more?" Another thug asked quietly.
The boss stared at him for a while until he scoffed. "Alright, we'll decide this later."
"None of you fucks are gonna decide shit."
Surprised, every single thug in the room turned their heads to see a silver-haired man standing in the doorway. He looked angry and glared at all of them.
"Well, lookie here. Who are you kid? A lost teenager? A boy playing hero? Tell me." The boss smugly said while gesturing him over.
"I am a friend of the granny you robbed." Garou said still glaring at him.
"How nice. You're looking to for the money we stole, eh?" The boss asked.
"Yes, and to kick each and every single of your asses." Garou said, now smirking.
"How touching. Shoot him, boys." He ordered.
And as such every single thug in the room grabbed their assault rifles and shot garou until their magazines were empty.
"Ha. Seems like your story ends with a tragedy kid." The boss said, while turning his back and laughing.
"That all you got amateurs?" A voice said.
Shocked. The boss turned back and saw that Garou was unharmed. Not even a single scratch on his body.
"What the-? SHOOT AT HIM YOU FOOLS!" He ordered/shouted at his goons.
So they reloaded and shot him again. Now however, The boss can see what happened. He deflected every single bullet WITH HIS HANDS. The thugs that shot at him now look extremely scared. In reality Garou used his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and combined it with his superhuman senses. It was more than enough to deflect the bullets shot at him.
Garou smirked. "Gotta try a little harder than that." He taunted.
"Grrr, USE YOUR QUIRKS!" The boss ordered.
Every single goon in the room leaped at Garou. However, before any of the thugs had any chance to use their quirks, Garou knocked them out with such speed, that the boss cannot see any of the blows.
"It's just me and you now, pal." Garou smugly said while walking up to the boss.
"D-don't fuck with me!" The boss panicked and used his quirk to hurl every single object in the room to Garou. Unsurprisingly, he simply deflected them back at him.
"Heh, that's all you got?-Ack!" Garou said before getting interrupted.
'Got you! Now all i need is to do crush his neck- Wha?' The boss thought before noticing something. Garou did not look like he's getting choked, instead he looked like he got a hiccup.
"Hmph, Trying to choke me, are you?" Garou asked before letting out a cry. "USHAAA!" He cried out, releasing the boss' grip on his neck.
"I-impossible, NOO!" The boss ran upstairs.
Garou scoffed. "Coward."
Garou chased after him until they got on the roof. The boss looks panicked while Garou looked calm as can be.
"C'mon man be a good sport and give up, yeah?" Garou asked while walking towards the boss.
"Ha.. HAHAHAHA! You've fallen for my trap!" the boss triumphantly said to him.
'Hmm... Oh yeah there's some explosives here and there' Garou mused in his mind.
"TAKE THIS!" The boss shouted. Of course Garou deflected them all.
Garou sighed. "You should realize by now that that doesn-"
He was cut off by a large piece of the building thrown at him.
*BOOM*
"Huff, huff, i'm sure he can't deflect something that big. Now that that's over, let's get back to business." The boss said while walking away.
"Going Somewhere?" The boss looked back to see Garou holding up the The wreckage up with one hand. Shocked speechless, the boss could only sit down.
"Hmph. I thought i could talk you down, apparently not. Well, i'll settle this with the only way i know." Garou said before walking to the boss and knocked him out.
'Oh, that stinks! He pissed himself!' Garou thought while carrying the boss to the meeting room.
Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes were watching him.
Later that day, a scene shocked the residents of Musutafu. A notorious gang filled with quirk users was caught and tied up on a lamppost with a sign that said "Did your job for you, took the money as my reward. Signed G." The heroes and police alike said they are gonna investigate who this 'G' Is.
"Here you go granny." Garou said while handing over her safe back to her.
"Oh my, Thanks sonny. You really didn't have to." The old lady tanked him while accepting the safe. What Garou didn't tell her is that he put an additional 200.000 yen in her safe.
"Don't mention it. it's the least i could do." Garou said.
"I'll always remember this. Thanks sonny."
"You're welcome granny. See you around!" Garou said while walking to the exit.
"Wait!" Garou turned his head. "May i know your name sonny?"
"Oh, the name's Garou. What aobout you granny?"
"My name is Shuzenji Saki"
"Alright, See you around Shuzenji-san!"
"See you around as well, Garo-chan." With that, they parted ways.
'Damn, i forgot to ask her about a job. Oh well maybe next time.' Garou mused as he walked back to the alley.
'Well, time to sleep.' But before Garou could do that someone interrupted him.
"Hey, you!" A tall man with long hair, a plain and worn out look, and scarf approached him.
'Who's this guy?' Garou mentally asked. Before he was answered.
"I am Eraserhaead, a pro hero. and i have some questions for you."
Well, that's it folks. Sorry to leave you on a cliffhanger. I noticed that in the middle of typing that Garou may sound OOC, but i'm trying to make him a little more sympathetic. Plus, he did get that speech from Saitama. So what do you think? Good? Bad? Please leave a review if you think there's something wrong. With that, ciao!
