This is a one-shot. If you want me to make a story out of this, let me know in the reviews. Now, without any further or do,
ARE YOU READY?
Years ago...
"Hey, blonde. You okay?"
A blonde student looked up and saw a hand being offered to him. He grabbed the hand and got up, "Nothing I'm not used to..." The blonde student then looked at the one that helped him up. It was someone around his age, wearing the same uniform yet having black hair and sky blue eyes. The ravenette asked, "Why didn't you just use your quirk?"
The blond scoffed, "Don't have one. I'm Quirkless." To the blond's surprise, the other boy looked excited, "Wait, you too?! Man, you're way stronger than me!"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I'm also Quirkless!"
"No, not that. You said that I'm stronger than you. I'm just skin and bones."
"Not physically, mentally! Geez. People always forget the original heroes."
The blond looked at his new companion, before offering a hand, "I'm Toshinori Yagi."
The companion hummed, "A bit too long for me. How about I call you Toshi instead?"
"Just tell me your name."
"Oh! It's-!"
A few years later...
The black haired boy now had a beige coat and wore a white shirt that had numerous scientific equations in black. He also wore blue jeans and black sneakers.
Toshi now wore a slightly oversized white shirt, black belt, and baggy cargo pants.
Toshi watched as his friend worked in the workshop, sketching out blueprints for a mechanical device as a steampunk-like blade and black gun laid out in front of him.
His friend nodded before grabbing the gun along with a light purple bottle that had the head of a bat etched on it, "Alright, Toshi. After this test, we can go home."
Toshi sighed before smiling a bit as he followed his friend to the testing room, multiple targets moving around.
The tester took a deep breath before speaking, "Bat Bottle with Transteam Gun, Test Number 1." He shook the bottle before twisting the cap slightly and sliding it into the gun like an ammo clip.
A brief purple light showing the face of a bat appeared, before a loud voice intoned,
BAT.
The inventor muttered, "Sound system and light system are okay... Warning loop working... Now... pull the trigger..."
But before he did so, he spoke, "Jouketsu."
A heavy mist enveloped him as the gun announced,
BAT! MISTMATCH! BAT... BA-BAT... FIRE!
A few weeks later...
"HEY! YOU TWO!" The two friends looked back and saw a ginger boy run up to them, flames coming from and licking his hair without harming them. He pointed at Toshinori's friend and demanded, "How come a Quirkless like you are still in hero school?"
The inventor blinked, "Well, the first heroes were technically Quirkless. Besides, I'm taking a different route and using gadgets to save people." The ginger laughed, "Yeah, right! Listen, how about you and I fight? If I win, you drop out."
The inventor sighed, "Who are you, again?"
"Enji. Enji Todoroki."
"Very well, Enji. However, if I win, you will become friends with us."
The next day...
The now trio of friends (well, one currently forced friend) were in the workshop again. Enji glanced at the inventor, "It's scary how you have these ideas, and how many of the inventions you make actually successfully work." Toshinori scoffed, "You jinxed it." The inventor, unfazed my their arguing, commented, "The moment I fail, is the moment that proves that I'm not a god of inventing and just mortal. Anyway, the Cobra Bottle is done. I just need to input the armor." He looked up at the two before offering, "Hey. How about I give you guys an armor system just in case your Quirks are useless."
Enji grabbed the inventor by the collar of his shirt and growled, "Say that again, punk?" The inventor raised his hand in a surrender, pointing out, "There's a new student that came in last year. His name is Shota Aizawa. Get this: his Quirk can negate and cancel the use of other Quirks." There was a dead silence as the information sunk in.
The inventor offered, "I already have ideas for the armor systems, but for only two design themes. One is a robot, the other is a dragon."
Silence.
"Dibs on the dragon."
"No fair! I want the dragon!"
The inventor sweatdropped at their antics, before blinking as he noticed a pink gas filling the room, "Eh...?"
THUD.
THUD.
THUD.
A few months later...
The inventor finished making the bizarre belt buckle. Wiping his brow, he spoke, "Done with programming, and manufacturing." Two... soft things pressed him from behind as a voice giggled, "What kind of pain will you be in?" The inventor sighed, "Nemuri, stop. Get back to sweeping the halls." The female pout, "Party crasher."
She had long hair tied up in a pony tail, a large sweater, shorts, and slippers that had cloth to help with her sweeping job. She adjusted her glasses before leaving the room as the inventor took off his gas mask, looking down at his two friends that were sleeping at their table.
The inventor sighed again before entering the testing chamber, grabbing a yellow gel pouch on the table along with a yellow wrench.
After securing the wrench on the turning bolt, he muttered to himself, "Note to self: Find a better lever than a wrench. Robot Sclash Jelly with Sclash Driver, Test 1." He placed the belt, the Sclash Driver, on his waist. A strap wrapped around him as the buckle rang out,
SCLASH DRIVER!
"Donning indicator, online. Adjust volume later. Proceeding to slide in the Robot Sclash Jelly into the driver." Twisting the cap of the gel pouch, he proceeded to slide the container into the driver, cap first.
ROBOT JELLY!
A looping melody of pistons and clanging metals sounded. "Standby and loaded indicator online. Final armor equipping step: press down the lever." As he pressed it down, he was suddenly overwhelmed with shocks as a huge energy construct of a beaker was made, surrounding him before being filled with a oil-like liquid energy.
With a roar, he pushed through it as the beaker twisted and wrapped around him tightly, the oil turning into a golden transparent energy that resembled gel, before bursting to reveal the armor.
TSUBURERU! NAGARERU! AFUREDERU! ROBOT IN GREASE! BRUAAA!
The yellow armor now had a dark transparent armor over the red visor of his helmet, the piece resembling a more upright rhinoceros horn. The shoulder pads had images resembling robotic arm holders, each having a nozzle pointed downwards.
Instantly, sparks and shocks ran throughout the suit, causing him more pain as he cried and rolled around.
A familiar pink mist quickly flooded the area as he calmed down, quickly taking out the gel pouch before collapsing, the last thing him seeing was Nemuri looking at him worried, running over to him as his armor vanished.
The day after...
The inventor groaned as he woke up, finding himself in the medbay. He looked around and say Nemuri sleeping in a chair right next to his temporary bed.
He sighed, but smiled softly and muttered, "You crazy rebellious girl... what am I going to do with you? It's like you're my... 'Best Match'..."
Unnoticed to him, Toshinori and Enji heard every word and shared a grin before high-fiving each other.
One month later...
The 'quad-squad' ducked behind some rubble, the crocodile villain causing a massive rampage at the mall they're trapped in. Enji peaked around the corner and cursed, "Of all the days to have some time off...!" Toshinori buffed up a bit, "The civilians are in more danger than we are, despite how things look." Nemuri muttered, "If I use my quirk, the males will quickly fall asleep in my general area..." Their inventor thought for a moment, "Here's the plan. Toshi, you go to the civilians that are trapped due to rubble. Enji, keep your flames to a minimal as you head to the food court, and try to find any remaining people and get them to a nearby unblocked exit. Nerumi, go to the children play pen and areas to rescue any kids that are left there."
Nemuri asked as Enji and Toshinori nodded, "But what about you?"
The inventor glanced around the corner, before looking in the four main directions, "A couple miles from here, there's that junkyard of a beach. I'm going to lead that thing over there." The trio looked at him as if he was insane, Nemuri asking frantically, "Are you crazy?! That guy can easily catch up to you in your Night Rogue armor, and can easily overpower you! Daku Shunsai, you need a different plan!"
The now named Daku Shunsai, the Quirkless inventor, fired back, "Nemuri! You're my Best Match, okay? I'm a hero, so I might as well try to be one. If I can save you and everyone here, then I'll take that chance. Got it?" She looked at him with a shock expression, before complaining, "You owe me a date after this, mister!"
Daku chuckled, "Crystal. Now go." He pulled out his Transteam Gun and the Bat Bottle, it's design now a darker purple with a small full image of the bat and it's wings. He slid it in.
BAT.
Daku quickly got up and yelled, getting the attention of the villain, "Jouketsu!" Pulling the trigger, he coated himself in a fog as he quickly ran up to the villain.
BAT! MISTMATCH! BAT... BA-BAT... FIRE!
Small yet loud fireworks exploded, slightly blinding and disorienting the villain before his attention was grabbed and focused.
The suit was mainly black with red and green lines running along the arms. The shoulder pads each had two exhaust valves coming out. The chest plate was a pattern with a golden bat, two more exhaust valves symmetrically exiting at the collar. Finally, the helmet was different, the red and green line having no mirror image with the red on the right side and green on the left. Its visor was also a golden bat, a single black and white stripped exhaust valve coming out of the top of the head like a unicorn.
This, is what Daku dubbed as the Night Rogue armor.
Daku quickly whipped out his Steam Blade and quickly flicked the wheel on it a few times.
ELEK STEAM!
A few rapid and shocking slashes made the villain growl as Daku had his armor sprout wings to crash through the window and fly in the direction of the beach.
During that time, after saving the civilians...
Toshinori chuckled as he led the civilians to safety, "Oi, Enji. Looks like Daku is finally getting serious. Enji laughed, "Yeah. Want to watch what our Quirkless Genius has up his brain?"
All three nodded before Toshinori picked up Nemuri, the news copter quickly flying after them as they made their way to Dagobah Beach. As the trio moved, Nemuri spoke up, "Five American dollars on Daku being flashy for his debut." Toshinori chuckled, "Fool's bet. Especially with his status."
When they arrived, they saw Daku in his Night Rogue armor, firing electric blast after electric blast at the villain. However, the villain dodged one of the attacks and grabbed the Transteam Gun, crushing and breaking it into pieces.
Daku managed to get the bottle out and some distance as the armor crumpled up and vanished. The world waited with baited breath as the villain laughed, "Now your only edge and Quirk is rendered useless! You have no hope with surviving!" Daku grinned and asked, "Are you sure about that?"
The villain looked at him confused as he pulled out a different driver that had a hand crank on the side, and two slots. It was mainly black, save for a big white glassy gear, some pipes, the yellow belt, and the red crank handle.
Daku spoke up, "Forgive me for being cliché, and for saying this, but all you defeated was just a prototype system I kept on upgrading and modifying." He pulled out a red bottle from his pocket. It had the pattern of an engine on it. The villain growled before demanding, "Who are you?! Better yet, who do you think you are?" Daku began, "Well, we haven't decided on our hero names, or our monikers, but I already have something in mind." He held the red bottle in his left hand and the purple bottle in his right.
"I'm the Quirkless Genius: Build! And you, are my test target!"
"QUIRKLESS?! YOU ARE QUIRKLESS?!"
Daku smiled and declared, "Yeah. Now... Shall we begin the experiment?"
He slid the purple Bat Bottle into the slot closest to the big gear in his driver.
BAT!
He slid the red Engine Bottle into the slot farthest from the big gear.
ENGINE!
BEST MATCH!
"Best Match?"
Daku explained, "I think that's enough standing around and talking." He cranked the handle multiple time, a mechanical loop sounding as numerous tubes appeared in front and behind him. In front, a purple fluid curled in the tubes, the back being the same with the red fluid. The result was two pieces of armor that looked like they should be on an oversized snap-on toy.
Daku took a deep breath as the driver asked in an excited tone,
ARE YOU READY?
Daku grinned fiercely and shouted a word.
A single word that would pave the way for every single person in the past, present, and future.
The simple word, that would connect the ones with Quirks with the Quirkless.
"HENSHIN!"
With that word, the pieces of armor moved towards him, snapping together around him like plastic armor on an action figure. A slightly spooky voice announced,
Ankoku no Kidō-ō! BatEngine! Yeah!
The purple parts of the armor was strange. On his left leg, there were slight bat wings at his left ankle. His right arm and shoulder had what looked like folded-up bat wings, but the shoulder was fully extended.
The red armor on the right leg had what looked like wheels at the heel, the left arm having a motor with black bits of protection.
The helmet had the lower left be purple arm with the left visor being the side view of a bat in flight. The upper right had red armor, the right visor looking like a shaft in front of a spinning engine part.
Numerous spotlights focused on him and the villain. Unknown to the group of friends, Daku's debut as Build was being shot live. Nemuri looked in amazement, "That heroic mad genius..." Toshinori laughed, "Dark Mobility King, eh? Fitting." Enji rolled his eyes, "A bit flashy, don't you think?" All three went down to join him in subduing the villain.
Daku, seeing the trio rushing over, laughed before excitedly speaking, using his right hand to trace the top of his 'engine' visor before flicking it with flair, "The rules for victory have been set!"
A year later...
The group of friends walked around, looking in awe at the building they were in. Toshinori still wore a baggy white shirt with green cargo pants. Enji now wore a white tank-top while wearing blue jeans. Nemuri, holding Daku's hand, was wearing a purple t-shirt and black jeans. Daku, somewhat leading the group, didn't have much changes aside from his shirt being white with a black gear pattern on it.
Suddenly, they were approached by a man wearing a Hawaiian shirt and beige pants, sun glasses hanging from his shirt and a lab coat wrapped loosely around his shoulders. The man spoke, "Welcome to the Genm Corporation. I'm Kiriya Kujo. I'm the boss around here." A female voice shouted, "KIRIYA! STOP LYING!" Kiriya laughed before shouting back up at the ceiling, "Fine, Asuna! The truth is I work in the medical morgue."
Three of them (Toshinori, Enji, and Nemuri) recoiled in disgust before Daku reassured, "That just means he tries to find cures for fatal diseases through dead bodies."
[Kiriya Kujo. Coroner at Genm Corp. Quirk: Reckless Revolution.]
Nemuri sighed in relief, "Oh, good." Kiriya nodded, "Asuna, the head's secretary, is currently helping him with paperwork. He's trying to extend to videogames, but is dealing with some legal issues. Please, follow me to our break room."
When the group arrived, they soon got to know about their fellow heroes in the medical field.
[Emu Hojo. Pediatric at Genm Corp. Quirk: L and R.]
[Hiiro Kagami. Surgeon at Genm Corp. Quirk: Precision Slice.]
[Taiga Hanaya. Radiologist at Genm. Corp. Quirk: Radiation Vision.]
Years later...
Daku was working on his Build Driver, before he received a call on his personal phone. Stopping what he was doing, he picked up and answered, "Quirkless Genius, speaking." There was a moment of silence before he smiled and took off his gloves, holding the phone with his shoulder, "Emu! How's it going?" A beat. "Wait... a Quirkless kid that wants to be a hero?" He began to frown, "And he's four... Wait, say that again?" Silence. "You want me, of all Quirkless people, to meet him? Why?"
A flat tone.
"And, he hung up on me. Great. Just... great." Daku stood up and stretched, tidying up his work place before grabbing his coat and walking down to the ground floor, shouting, "Jin! Keep the kids in line! Emu needs me for something!" A blond with a scar on his forehead shouted back, "Got it, boss!"
Daku exited out of the building. It had the sign [Daku's School for the Negatively Gifted]. Daku established the school for people who have Quirks that would've been seen as negative in society. While earning his reputation as the first Quirkless Pro Hero, he also received many criticism for housing 'future villains' and teaching them. None of the comments affected him negatively, though.
Jin Bubaigawara was a man with a Quirk to clone himself, but received an injury after cloning himself too many times. However, Daku found him and later they established a program that later turned into a school, Jin's former instability finally calming down thanks to some therapy with Emu.
Their program not only focuses on the standard education, but also focuses on helping their 'students' train their quirks.
One such student, known as Mustard, found himself being a hero in the medical field. His quirk, Sleep Gas, allows him to generate sleeping gas. With this, he typically uses refillable canisters and fills them with his knockout gas, helping doctors and guards by shipping his sleeping gas to prisons and hospitals. Due to this, Mustard became an infamous hero in the medical community.
Another student, Atsuhiro Sako, found himself helping out the authorities. His quirk, Compress, allowed him to easily store and move villains and civilians with out of control Quirks.
One of the proud graduates, known as Himiko Toga, helps with crime scene investigations. Despite her Quirk only working if she ingests some blood, she helps by showing the authorities whose blood it came from.
When news spread of how the students with 'negative' Quirks are helping authorities and the public, more students noticed and applied to the school, helping with its funding.
At the Genm Corp. Hospital...
Daku walked through the doors, giving a wave to a female as he headed over to the pediatric. Arriving at Emu's office, he politely knocked before opening the door.
Daku entered, greeting as he closed the door, "Emu, you called me over?" He then turned and blinked, noticing (not counting himself) four people in the room. Near the computer, Doctor Hojo was talking with a woman with long green hair wearing a pink sweater, white shirt, and blue skirt. On the examination table, however, was a boy with an orange shirt and blue shorts. The fourth person, who happened to be playing with the child, had black hair and brown eyes, wearing a black jacket and an assortment of colorful clothes.
Daku greeted, "Oh, hello Parado."
Doctor Emu Hojo's Quirk, L and R. It allows him to divide himself into two different beings. One is the doctor himself, but the other is a being that was named Parado. Parado is a sentient manifestation of Emu's hobby of playing video games in his spare time. It was only dubbed [L and R] due to how the separation best represents the theory behind the left and right side of the brain.
As Parado waved, the boy looked and had his eyes widened, holding something in his hand tighter.
On closer examination, Daku found out that is was an action figure of him in his Night Rogue armor.
Daku smiled and crouched slightly, greeting, "You might of heard of me, but I'm the Quirkless Genius: Build, also known as Daku Shunsai. And you are?"
The boy stammered, but said excitedly, "I-I'm Izuku Midoriya!"
Little did everyone know, this small meeting sparked the most famous legacy that was to be known in the history of Quirks.
The Quirk Genius: Build.
Yeah, this has been bugging me for the last few weeks. So, decided to give it a whirl and start it off with this. If you guys want me to continue this, leave a review and let me know.
Oh, and if you want to have this story continue, expect major changes in the story line, but them being relatively close to canon in some sort of way.
Also, other Kamen Riders will eventually be in this story, and some will have Quirks to help make better 'blending' into the work of MHA.
