CHAPTER ONE: A FUTURE GENERATION OF HEROES
"Kozato Rakurai, I want you to inherit my quirk: One For All."
Kozato opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He stood there with a dropped jaw, staring at the Symbol Of Peace's figure bathed in the light of the setting sun, as he recalled the events of the day that led him to this moment.
EARLIER THAT DAY
Kozato tapped his foot as he waited for the final bell to ring, while the teacher pulled out a stack of papers. He cleared his throat to get the attention of the class and spoke.
"I've got your career tests back today, but before I hand them to you, I have one question. I know you're all probably shooting for U.A., so do you really need these?" The teacher asked, a hint of a smile on his face.
The class screamed No at such a volume, the classes down the hall could probably hear them. This was followed by the class displaying their quirks, bursting with pride and bragging how they would blow away the competition in the entrance exam next year.
"Really? I don't know about you, but if anyone's going to blow the competition away, it's going to be Rakurai." The teacher said, after quite a few brags had been shouted out.
The class stared at Kozato, who simply grinned widely at them and rose his hand as it glowed a faint blue. This was followed with roars of either approval or despise, and people starting to form bets months in advance on what his score would be in the practical exam, or how long it'd take for him to lose control and injure someone.
"Alright, alright, settle down." The teacher said as the bell rung.
Kozato picked up his bag and walked out the door, and dashed down the hall. He wore a smile on his face as he exited the school, and began the trek home. He was walking through the streets of Musutafu City when he heard the first shouts. Before quirks were introduced, any sane person would probably call the cops, but instead Kozato ran towards the sound, brimming with excitement. If he was lucky, a villain could be attacking, so he'd have the chance to see pros in action.
He turned the corner and pushed through the crowd that had gathered and suddenly wished he hadn't when he first saw it. The thing was tall and some what muscular, the top of its head exposing it's brain, which had blood shot eyes burrowed into it. At its feet laid a person, who was badly beat. It let out a blood curdling scream and rose it's fist to strike but before it could deal the final blow, there was a blur of green hair and the person disappeared from their original spot.
"No need to fear! Why? Because I am here!"
Kozato's jaw dropped as he stared at the figure before him, a tall person, bulging with muscles. The figure turned and gave the crowd a toothy grin as the air filled with surprised gasps and shouts.
"It's the Symbol Of Peace! Deku!" Someone yelled.
Deku laid the person on the ground gingerly and glared at the villain, and people already had their phones, either taking pictures or calling the police. The villain barreled towards Deku, screeching, and Deku did the same, the two meeting half way in a violent clash.
"Deku has this in the bag, no villain could stand a chance against him!" Kozato yelled and the crowd murmured in agreement.
Deku pummeled the villain with devastating kicks, but Kozato could swear the villain was more muscular than before. Deku somersaulted over the villain and delivered a powerful kick to its back. It skidded to a stop and turned back around as it muscles bulged and expanded underneath it's skin.
QUIRK: SHOCK CONVERSION! By absorbing attacks, the user converts it into muscle mass, increasing their strength and speed. While this partially protects the user from the attack, it is significantly weaker than Shock Absorption.
The villain launched forward with amazing speed and caught Deku by surprise, and punched him square in the chest. He flew backwards and fell to his knees, clutching his stomach. The villain approached him picked him up by the neck, but Deku smashed his fist into the villain's face and it dropped him as it stumbled back. The villain let out an angry screech and the two collided fists, and began to rapidly match punches. The villain's muscles kept getting larger with every punch, slowly beating Deku back as its muscles becoming larger each time they clashed.
Deku grit his teeth in frustration as the villain's blows didn't let up, with no chance for an opening for an attack to its head.
"I-is Deku losing?!"
"No, there's no way! He's the number one hero!"
Kozato looked on in shock as he watched the villain met each of Deku's punches perfectly, as the hero's bright smile turned into a frown as the fight raged on. He hoped Deku could keep it until other pros arrived to help, but he began to doubt it with every punch that the villain turned into muscle mass.
He clenched his fist as electricity sparked off it, and felt something stirring in his heart. He had to help Deku somehow, because there was no way he wasn't going to watch the number one hero get beat down by some freak. He knew it was against the law to display quirks in public, but there were exceptions, right? He looked up at the sky, and saw some clouds. 'Perfect.'
Channeling lightning in his palm, and thrust his arm skyward, the bolt shooting out of his hand and directly into a cloud. The cloud started to turn gray, then black, and then lightning arced towards the ground and collided with his fist.
The crowd backed up and gasped as Kozato felt his body warm up at electricity shot off it. He pulled his right arm back and began channeling a powerful bolt of lightning in it, and shot a blast of it from his left hand. It hit the villain and it punched Deku in the chest, sending him flying, before whipping around towards Kozato.
"THE HELL YOU DOIN' KID?!"
"DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?!"
He ignored the crowd's shouts, as he finished channeling the bolt of lightning, the air filling with the smell of ozone. The villain barreled towards him, and Kozato unleashed the bolt of lightning.
"RAGNAROK BOLT!" Kozato shouted, as the bolt collided with the villain and exploded, thunder ringing out, as an ambulance and police cars arrived and screeched to a halt, pro heroes not far behind it. The villain shot backward from the force and Kozato fell to his knees, clutching his right arm in pain as he looked over it. It was badly burned from charging up that attack, and Kozato instantly regretted over-doing it, thought that regret disappeared when Deku launched himself towards the villain, his arm drawn back.
"DETROIT SMASH!" He screamed, as his fist collided with the villain's face, and Kozato quickly averted his eyes. Judging by the gags he heard, he was glad he did. He looked back up and Deku stood triumphantly over the villain's body, his smile back on his face. Deep down though, he was extremely worried. 'That villain… It was like the ones I've seen when I attended U.A.' His eyes drifted over to the blond-haired boy clutching his arm. On a closer look, he saw his arm was badly burned. 'That kid didn't hesitate to distract the villain, despite the fact he could've been killed. He sacrificed his arm so that I could deal the finishing blow.'
Deku approached the boy and cleared his throat, causing the boy to look up at him, his eyes widening.
"Are you alright, young man?"
"Y-yeah, this always happens whenever I use that attack, so I'm used to it."
Deku offered his hand and Kozato took it, and pulled himself up. He smiled and Kozato smiled back.
"We should get that arm treated, and after that I'll take you home."
Kozato tightened his grip on Deku as they flew through the sky, approaching his house quickly. Deku landed a few blocks from Kozato home, and gulped down air when he finally let go. 'Any longer, and I would've passed out!'
They walked alongside each other in silence for a bit as Deku was in deep thought. The boy, whose name was Kozato Rakurai, had displayed great courage that day, and he believed his search was over. He stopped in front of Kozato and looked back at the boy. He saw his reflection in the boy's electric blue eyes, his bright smile that warmed hearts across the nation, the smile of the hero that never gave up, no matter how hard it got. He remembered the day All Might had told them those words he had yearned to hear for so long.
"You can become a hero."
His eyes were rimmed with tears as his smile widened as he remembered the firmness in All Might's voice when he said those words.
"Kozato Rakurai, today you displayed unwavering courage and self-sacrifice for the greater good without hesitation. These are things that I've seen in heroes today."
He turned and faced the boy, his smile wide, and the tears gone from his eyes, replaced with a fire. A fire that burned with joy and pride.
"What do you plan to do a year from now?"
"I plan to enter U.A. and become a hero. I want to help people, and face evil so they don't have to. I want to be like you."
"If that's true, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for good? To become crippled, or even die to protect those who can't protect themselves?"
Kozato thought on this deeply as he recalled the events of today. How the villain was dead set on killing Deku, and almost succeded. If he was going to be a hero, he would have to be prepared to deal with that everyday.
Kozato nodded his fire in Deku's eyes burned brighter.
"Then I want you, Kozato Rakurai, to inherit my quirk and become the world's greatest hero."
Kozato couldn't believe what he had just said. He looked into Deku's eyes for a hint of humor and found none. He was telling the truth, and nothing but the truth.
"I-I- what?" Words failed him at this point and his mind took a dive. Deku waited for an answer as the boy stared blankly at him, his eyes wide and mouth open.
"Y-yes! I'll do it!" Kozato finally answered.
"Know that what you're getting into won't be easy. My quirk, One For All, is a sacred torch handed down for generations. In fact, I received it from a great hero, All Might."
Kozato was floored, Deku's quirk was the same quirk that All Might had?
"The training to receive it alone will be hard, as without proper training, it will tear you apart. And even after you receive it, the stress it will put on your body will be extreme. Knowing this, will you still accept my offer."
Kozato looked into Deku's eyes, seeing the fire blazing in them, and he was sure Deku saw the fire blazing in his.
"I still accept."
"Then meet me at Dagobah Municipal Beach Park tomorrow, at 5:30 am."
"Yes sir!"
