It's time! After lots of reworking and some consulting with a previous Reader of the original story, with Reverseflash who was a huge help, I can finally get the remastered version out. Now just as a warning, there will be a few changes from the original with the biggest being Izuku's quirk. But I hope you enjoy the story nonetheless.
Bitz Bitz Bitz.
Izuku quickly pressed the button on his alarm clock, putting an end to the infernal sound. After taking a few more seconds to properly wake up, Izuku got showered and dressed into his primary school uniform and went to get breakfast.
Izuku turned on the news to check for recent hero battles that had been going on but unfortunately nothing new had happened. So with nothing else to do Izuku just made breakfast and watched TV until he heard a knock at the door.
When Izuku went to open the door but as soon as the door was released from its lock Izuku heard the sound of an explosion that blasted the door open and sent Izuku back, when the smoke cleared a blond haired boy was stood in a fighting stance, wearing the same uniform as Izuku was.
"DEKU! Your getting sloppy!" The blond said as crackles of light appeared over his right palm before he punched it creating a miniature explosion.
Izuku jumped up on his feat and clenched his fist causing a orange and red flame to consume it as he also got into a stance. "I've never been sloppy Katchan." Izuku said with a smirk and the two rushed towards the other. Instead of the two launching a power punch they instead grasp each others hands and slammed the elbows onto a nearby coffee table as the two began to arm wrestle.
This behaviour was common for the two of them, ever since they were little Izuku and his best friend Katsuki Bakugou or as he called him Kacchan were inseparable. The two always hung out and they even got their quirks on the same day. Ever since then Kacchan has been doing these surprise attacks to test Izuku and to prove which quirk was superior.
While Izuku was against this at first, he quickly grew accustomed to this "tradition" plus it helped Izuku improve his quick so he wasn't against it, he was just glad he managed to convince Katchan to reduce the amount of times it happened so Izuku wouldn't be in constant fear of getting jumped by his best friend.
As the two struggled to overpower the other Bakugou began to speak. "So out of the 30 times this year we've done this, if my maths is right. And trust me it is, I've won 16."
Izuku laughed. "I think you've got it backwards Kacchan, I'm the one who's in the lead." Izuku said still trying to get the edge over his friend.
IZUKU! KATSUKI! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOYT DOING THIS IN THE HOUSE!
Izuku turned to see the source of the voice, with Izuku distracted Bakugou took the chance to slam Izuku's arm down, getting him the win, much to Izuku's annoyance.
"That was cheap Kacchan!" Izuku said annoyed at his friends un-honarable actions.
"Well you shouldn't have let your guard down Deku." Bakugou said giving Izuku a massive smug grin.
"Excuse me. I think you two are forgetting something." The previous voice said.
Both Izuku and Bakugou turned to see a women resembling Izuku in both looks and height standing in front the door frame into the living room with her hands on her hips.
"As I was saying before I thought Mitsuki and I told you too not to do this sort of thing inside the house anymore." The green haired women asked both boys.
"Sorry Mum." "Sorry Auntie Inko." Both boys said as they apologised.
Inko sighed. "At least you never broke anything. This time anyway." Inko said before making her way into the kitchen. "Now let's have a proper breakfast."
As Inko was busy cooking breakfast, flipping the sizzling bacon as she decided to strike up a conversation with the two boys. " So Katsuki, what's got you so excited today?" Inko asked.
"Simple." Bakugou said "Only nine months and we can get out of that sh - I mean awful school and Izuku and I can finally get a challenge and begin our carriers as heroes."
"Besides." Bakugou continued as he playfully pulled Izuku into a headlock and nuggied him. "I have to stop this guy getting soft on me."
Izuku just gained a deadpan expression "Lets see how "soft" you think I am when I set you on fire." Izuku threatened nonchalantly.
"Enough you two." Inko said as she laid two plates of eggs, bacon and sausage in front of the two boys. "Eat up, you'll have to leave and catch the bus."
Once the two finished their meal they caught the train to their primary school. On the way they caught a look at a battle between a new villain and Kamui Woods and a new hero named Mt. Lady who jumped in and stole the win from Kamui Woods, knocking out the large villain.
Bakugou looked at the blond haired heroine with a mixture of surprise and disgust as once making sure villain was unconscious began to but her but forward for the near by reporters to see, and like a moth to a flame they began to take numerous photos, creating an almost deafening sound from all their snap shots. Bakugou then turn away and looked towards Izuku.
"Come on Deku let's get out of he-" Bakugou began before he saw Izuku writing and mumbling like a made man as he write into a jotter with the words hero analysis for the future 13 on the front.
"Herquirkisdefinitelypowerfulbutconsideringhowmuchshegrowsinsizeandthecollateraldamageherattackscausethatwillprobablycostheragencyatonofmoneywhichwillmakeithaorderforhertoclimbtheranks." Izuku mumbled before he was shook on the shoulder by Bakugou.
"Why are you taking notes on her? She's clearly only getting popular because of her looks and her quirk isn't even that special." Bakugou asked logically. "Unless your secretly a closeted pervert."
"W-W-What N-No I-I W-Wasn't-" embarrassingly defended before Bakugou cut him off.
"I was only joking Deku. Come on we'll be late to class." Bakugou said as he walked in the direction of his school causing Izuku to follow.
While Izuku had gotten much better with his stuttering problem and barely did it anymore, Bakugou knew what buttons to press to get Izuku to go into overdrive and it was fun to do at times.
Once Izuku and Bakugou got to school they went through the standard classes with nothing really interesting happening, not until their final period that is.
While Izuku was writing some extra notes he heard his teacher talking about their future careers and aspirations and was prepared to hand out some form of test.
"But who needs those." The teacher declared before tossing the papers in the air. "I know you all want to become heroes." Which caused everyone in class to activate their quirks in order to show off their abilities, this continued until Izuku heard a recognizable voice shout out.
"Teach, don't lump Deku and I in the same teir as these clowns." Bakugou scoffed as he jumped on his table and struck a triumphant pose. "You losers would be lucky to become b list sidekicks at most."
This caused an enraged outburst from most members of the class consisting with "Some nerve" and "What makes you think your so special."
"The only school worthy of our talents...Is UA high!" Bakugou declared once again causing shock and surprise among the class.
UA that school only has a seven percent acceptance rate! It's practically impossible to get accepted!
No way, He and Midoriya are good but not that good.
I wish I had such OP quirks like those two have.
That last statement was only partially correct.
While yes both quirks were powerful, Izuku knew that his never started that way, while powerful Izuku actually struggled with his quirk. Once the doctor analysised him Izuku found out his quirk was simple psychokinesis but with one small difference, Izuku could manipulate the flames. Even though it was slight, he could change their direction, bend them and even freeze them in mid air, when it the form of a fire ball. But the biggest downside was his low constitution or lack of heat resistance. Izuku's quirk could overheat him quirk easily and even burn him if not careful, while his more developed body helped him with his and the fact he had been training his body to handle heat through the use of several electric heaters and candles in his room plus frequent use of saunas.
He had to make his quirk great.
After class Bakugou came and approached Izuku along with two of his followers.
"Hey Deku me and the guys are heading to the arcade. Wanna come?" Bakugou asked his friend.
"Sorry." Izuku apologized "I've got my homework, then training, then that exclude All Might interview tonight."
Bakugou laughed as he walked away. "All right. See you later ya nerd."
"See you later Katchan." Izuku waved as he packed up the rest of his things before making his way out the school.
One Izuku left school school he decided to take the short way to the train station, under a bridge at the side of his school, while making his way under the bridge he heard a strange sound coming from behind him, when Izuku turned around to see the source of the sound he barely had any time to react as a large sentient pile of sludge dashed towards him.
Izuku tried to fight the villain off using his flames his flames but they had no effect of the villain, who quickly wrapped his sludge body around Izuku, trapping him. Izuku tried his flames again but they still had no effect.
"Don't struggle kid, you'll only make this more painful." The villain warned menacingly. "You've got a powerful quirk, to think I'd find such powerful body to take control of."
Izuku increased the power of his flames to its maximum but there was still little to no effect and Izuku's vision was beginning to fade.
"What did I just tell you kid! It's pointless to resist!" The villain shouted still trying to possess the boys body, nearly succeeding in his task before he heard something fast approaching.
NOTHING IS POINTLESS VILLAIN! WHY?! BECAUSE I AM HERE! A voice called out from the distance.
The sludge villain had no time to reach as a yellow blur sped past him, grabbing his body and ripping him off Izuku the force of which destroyed the bridge they were under and splattered the villain all over the concrete path he was previously standing on.
When Izuku came too he was in shock and awe, It was All Might the number one hero! The symbol of peace himself! Standing right in front of him! Izuku went to grab his notebook for All Might to sign but when he went to grab it he saw it was already signed.
"Thank you so much All Might!" Izuku thanked his hero.
"NO PROBLEM KID! SAVING OTHERS IS WHAT A HERO DIES AFTER ALL! BUT IT WAS INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE HOW YOU HELD OFF THAT VILLAIN ALL ON YOUR OWN!" All Might praised as he put on of the two bottles containing the sludge villain into his back pocket.
"A-All Might. Can I ask you something?" Izuku asked hopefully.
All Might was tempted to just leave, while he didn't want to upset the kid, his time in his muscle form was nearly finished and he couldn't stick around. However at the same time it washes fault the boy was nearly killed, so he feels like he owes the kid.
"SURE KID! MAKE IT QUICK THOUGH, I HAVE TO TAKE THIS GUY TO THE POLICE AFTER ALL!" All Might responded
"It's just that." Izuku began. "My quirk is powerful but if I use it too much my body really suffers. Even despite that I still want to become a hero. Is that possible?"
"YOUNG MAN! NO MATTER THE QUIRK ANYONE CAN BECOME A HERO IF THEY HAVE THE DETERMINATION AND DRIVE TO APPROVE THEMSELVES AND SAVE THOSE IN NEED! HEED THESE WORDS MY BOY YOU CAN BECOME A HERO!" All Might declared as he crouched down getting ready to jump away "GOODBYE FOR NOW!"
Just as All Might was going to jump Izuku saw a one of the bottles the villain was in begin to fall out off All Might back trouser pocket, Izuku moved as fast as he could to catch the bottle but accidentally grabbed a hold of All Might so when the number one hero was soaring through the sky, he had a small green haired teen hanging onto him for dear life.
"THAT WAS A DUMB MOVE KID, KNOCK ON THE DOOR TILL SOMEONE LETS YOU IN." All Might said all A's he began to walk away from the still coughing Izuku.
"A-All Might wait! You dropped this!" Izuku cried as he thrust the bottle forward so All Might could view it.
(Oh crap I nearly dropped it. I need to be more careful.) "THANKS KID YOU SAVED ME ALOT OF-Ack" All Might coughed as a cloud of steam began to form around him removing him from the sight of Izuku who was staring unsure what to think of the cloud of smoke in front of him.
Izuku didn't know what to make of what was happening in front of yuk, was this part of All Mights quirk? No that can't be it, there's been no reports of anything like this ever happening before, so what is happening?
Izuku was not prepared gone was the muscular All Might and in his place was a shriveled up skeleton like man with blond hair in the door where All Might was once standing.
"Who are you? And what happened to All Might?" Izuku asked determined to find out the answer as to what was before him.
"Sorry kid. But I am All Might." The blond haired skeleton said with his voice full of bitterness and regret. "You see this." All Might then pulled up his shirt revealing a large wound on his left side, it was a dark purple and looked to be extremely painful, how All Might could even move let alone fight with an injury such as that amazed Izuku.
"Was that caused by Toxic Chainsaw?" Izuku asked as that was the only villain to his knowledge that could even hold a candle to All Might's strength.
"You know your stuff kid, but no, this fight was hidden from the public, a punk like him was no match for me." Dropping his shirt and then taking the bottle from Izuku. "Thanks for the help kid, I really appreciate it."
As soon as All Might took the bottle, he and Izuku heard what sounded to be an explosion coming from a nearby building. The two looked over in surprise only a building on fire along with several pros now arriving on the scene.
"What was that!?" Izuku asked unsure sure as to what was happening, but while he was unsure All Might had a gut feeling about what was going on, which was further reinforced by a faint trail of green slime that was visible at the side of the building. Izuku soon saw this trail as well, causing one mutual thing to run through both their minds.
This is all my fault!
XXXX
Once Izuku and All Might made it off the roof of the building they were on, the two got a good look at the scene in front of them, fire was everywhere several pro heroes tried to help but Death Arms could do no damage to the villain, Back Draft was too busy putting out the fires. Mt Lady couldn't get through the small gaps between buildings and Kamui Woods couldn't handle the heat and was too busy recusing people.
"Damn it, the other bottle must have fallen out of my pocket when I jumped." All Might grunted with frustration. "And there's nothing I can do about it!"
Izuku was in disagreement, he felt as if this was his fault for grabbing on to All Might and the guilt he was feeling on quadrupled when he got a good look at whom the sludge villain's victim was. It was Kacchan. This best friend was about to die and it was his fault.
"Isn't someone going to go save that boy?" a bystander asked, confused as to why, with several pro heroes around no one was saving the blond haired boy.
Izuku didn't remember fully what happened next or how it started but his body just moved on its own, he was running, running straight into the burning building, with people looking it him with shocked and confused stares, the pro heroes tried to interfere but Izuku just kept on running.
"You!" The Sludge villain cried out in anger. "I've already got a new host, so buzz off!"
"D-Deku?" Bakugou slowly spoke out in confusion, having nearly lost consciousness as Izuku continued to run towards him.
Izuku then reached into the side pocket of his school bag and quickly pulled out two rubber (Scottish word of eraser) and using his quirk to give his throw extra power, tossed the two rubbers in both of the villain's large eyes, causing him to wince in pain. Bakugou saw this as his chance, he quickly used the most powerful explosion he could, and it launched him out of the sludge villains grasp, causing him to land next to Izuku. The two then heard a crumbling sound, the already damaged building could not take that massive explosion, plus that damage the sludge villain had already caused, meant the building was starting to collapse and large bits of rubble began to fall from the ceiling and one bit was heading straight towards the two primary school boys. Both Izuku and Bakugou closed their eyes in preparation for the pain, but it never came, after a few more seconds they opened their eyes and the saw that All Might was holding them in his arms. Once All Might saw the two were awake, he placed them down so they could stand up once more.
"ALL MIGHT!" The two shouted out in shock and happiness as All Might stood in front of them with his signature smile.
"SORRY KIDS, HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE THIS OLD PRO FOR BEING A BIT LATE." All Might said in his jovial ton.
Izuku and Bakugou then saw parts of the rubble of the collapsed building begin to move and then the sludge villain jumped out, making a dash towards All Might.
"ALL MIGHT! I'LL KILL YOU!" The sludge villain screamed as he, moved closer and closer towards the pro hero. All Might simply laughed and with little if any effort, he turned around when the villain was inches from his face and slapped him, causing a massive shock wave and once and again reducing the villain to splatters of goo on the ground. Rain began to poor down on All Might due to the sheer power of his punch as everyone cheered for him as All Might raised his hand triumphantly in the air.
After that Izuku got an earful from the pro's about being too reckless and jumping in the fight, while Bakugou got praised even told that he's be loved to be one of their sidekicks by some pros. All Might meanwhile had to leave as he got hounded by the media, Izuku was about to follow Bakugou who was getting taken away in a police car for further questioning, but Bakugou stopped him.
"Kacchan?" Izuku asked confused as to why his friend was stopping him.
"Deku I need to speak to these guys not you." Bakugou responded, "Besides Auntie Inko is probably about to have a panic attack after hearing what happened on the news. It would be best if you went home to stop her from worrying."
"Yeah you're probably right." Izuku agreed. "But will you be ok?"
"Deku I'm fine." Bakugou scoffed as he got into the police car before he opened the window to continue speaking. "But thank you, for saving my ass and everything."
"No problem Kacchan." Izuku responded with a smile.
Bakugou then gained a cocky grin. "But don't more a second believe this means you're stronger than me Deku. I am the one that will become the number one hero. And don't you forget that!"
"We have to go now." The police officer ordered as Bakugou nodded at him. "See you Deku."
"See you Kacchan." Izuku waved as the car Bakugou was in began to drive away.
On Izuku's way home, he actually felt good about himself, even though yes it was his fault the sludge villain got out, Kacchan is safe and no one got hurt, so he is glad about that at least.
Ads Izuku continued to walk he heard a familiar booming voice call out for him as an object sped right in front of him at great speeds.
"YOUNG MIDORIYA!" All Might called out as he turned to face Izuku.
"A-All Might. How did you get away from the press?" Izuku asked.
"SIMPLE YOUNG MIDORIYA, I AM ALL MIGHT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIB-BLEH" All Might coughed out as he changed back to his skinny form spitting out a stream of blood earning a scared reaction from Izuku.
"All Might! Are you ok?" Izuku asked in worry, as he had never seen a man spit out stream of blood before and assumed that meant something was very wrong.
"I'm fine kid don't worry." All Might answered. "Anyway kid we need to talk."
A/N: Oh how mysterious. I wonder what All Might could possibly want. But in all seriousness I hope you all enjoyed this, I worked really hard on I and I'm really excited to continue this story as soon as possible as you can see there is already several new changes to Izuku's personality, relationships and quirk though I believe all these changes will be for the better. But until next time remember to read and review!
