So, it looks like no reboot won, since I still wasn't the biggest fan of the choices I made… I decided to go on a rewrite spree. I will be keeping this rewrite to a first person POV
So, Welcome to the rewrite of Fastest Hero Alive. Hope you guys enjoy it!

"Speech"
'Thoughts'
Future Narration
I was young when I learned that not all men are created equal. When I turned four, I learned that I was part of twenty percent of the world's population born without a quirk, a special ability unique to it's wielder.
Even though I had no quirk, I still strived for a dream that many thought was impossible; to become a great hero like my own hero and Symbol of Peace, All-Might. Sadly, the man shattered my hopes and dreams, leaving me to the future the life of a bystander.
That all changed though, when I was thirteen-years old an act of god rewrote my destiny. At that point in my life, I had no idea if it was for better or for worse.
Around me were the remains of the Tatooin Shopping district. The spot where my friend and bully, Kacchan, had been nearly killed by a villain whose quirk caused him to be made entirely out of sludge, and to be a problem for many of the heroes who came to stop him. In an attempt to save my friend, I had put myself at risk and nearly paid the price; if not for the intervention of All-Might himself, I wouldn't have been able to tell this story to you.
After the fight, while nearly everyone crowded around All-Might and Kacchan, I was cornered by two angry superheroes.
"You moron! What do you think you were doing!?" admonished Kamui Wood
"I mean christ, that sewer trash could a killed ya!" growled out Deathgoro not long after the other hero.
It was still raining from the punch All-Might threw to defeat the villain. I could feel the rain tap on my head and shoulders, as the two heroes continued to chew me out for attempting to do something to save my former childhood friend while they did nothing.
"How could I have stood there and done nothing for Kacchan?" I couldn't even voice a defense, I just sat there accepting the reprimanding, "It was my fault the sludge monster was even able to escape from All-Might."
"Dammit kid are you even listening? We're just trying to keep ya safe," Deathgoro continued "Yer not a hero kid, and I'm guessing by your little stunt that-"
CRaCk
Whatever he was going to say next was interrupted by the crack of lightning. Lucky me I guess.
"Kid…" Kamui Woods sighed, "We're just trying look out for you civilians, go home and think about your future a bit more, Ok"
I just nodded my head, too wrapped up in my own thoughts and shattered dreams. I never noticed the sky glowing, never noticed as a bolt of lightning left the clouds without a noise, never noticing as whispers began to spread through the remaining crowd of people. I only noticed when everyone around me screamed but by then, it was to late.
An intense pain entered my life and I knew nothing more.
The first thing I noticed when I woke up was a soft breeze lazily blowing through wherever I was. Next a sense of cleanliness, that wasn't really native to my bedroom, drifted by my nose. I couldn't keep my eyes closed anymore. Slowly I opened them, finally seeing the white ceiling and and beige walls of the room I was residing in.
'Am I… am I in the hospital?' I wondered to myself, 'What the heck happened to me?'
As I really started waking up, other details started making themselves known to me.
A fly slowly cutting through the air, as if stuck in jello.
The privacy curtains separating my bed being drawn back, revealing a woman in hospital scrubs lazily drifting to the floor as her face sedately morphed into one of fright. Noticing that she wasn't looking at me, I followed her line of sight.
It was then that I noticed the only other person moving at a seemingly normal speed, standing right in the front of me, leaning on the end board of the hospital bed staring me down with a look of complete disregard and disbelief.
'Why didn't I see him' I cautiously thought, 'How…How long has he been standing there?'
The man stood at what I could only assume to be 6 feet, with a plain black t-shirt covering a broad shouldered physique that showed this new person to be at the very least somewhat fit. The stranger's complexion made his western heritage obvious, while his face was somewhat rougher than what I may have been generally used to at the time, with a few small scars crossing over the wrinkles that started showing. Finally the man's greying hair was chopped short, with a receding hairline that left some of his hair into a vague widow's peak.
"Ya know, from what the asshole said, I expected you to be older." The man spoke harshly in a voice that had a light baritone lilt to it, "Someone worthy of the power they just got, not just some random kid."
I shrunk back from the criticism, tears starting to gather in my eyes, before gathering what little courage I could and started asking questions.
"Wh-who a-are you, S-s-s-sir? Wha-what's going o-on?" I was able to stutter out through my barely hidden fear.
"Oh-ho-ho" the man laughed, "You can call me Edward Clariss or, since it's not like anyone else would be able to help you, Teach. Now then, catch me if ya can kid."
With that Edward Clariss raced out of the hospital room door. After a few seconds hesitation, I disappeared through the door in an attempt to catch up.
Little did I know that my meeting with Edward Clariss would send me down the path to become not only the greatest hero but also the fastest hero alive…
…And you can count that as a Flash Fact!
Hope you guys enjoyed the new beginning of Fastest Hero Alive.
Before I can continue on with this story I will be rewriting all of the Rival chapters, some more then others. Just so I can use new ideas that have come to me.
