Change of Life Chapter 1
Izuku Midoriya. Quirkless. Those were the only two things most of his classmates, heck most of his teachers knew about him, and after today it will be all they ever knew about him. Izuku's day was going normally, he woke up, eat breakfast, went to school and began to make his way home, all until he ran to a villain, a Sludge Villain to be precise.
Izuku was thinking about how his former childhood friend Katsuki Bakugou or as he called him Katchan, had just torched his notebook on heroes saying that because of his Quirklessness he had no chance of becoming a hero, something which he'd been told his entire life, including his own mother. As most could imagine this didn't exactly help his self-confidence and caused him to become slightly depressed, this caused him to be completely off guard when the villain attacked, Izuku heard his sinister growly voice and smelt the revolting stench of his sludge, the smell nearly causing him to vomit.
"Hey let me borrow your body, will ya?" a voice snapped him out of his thoughts, "Sorry kid, it'll just hurt for a little while, and then it'll all be over."
And all of a sudden, he was engulfed in sludge as it seeped into his mouth and went down his throat, it tasted horrid, not only that it was also killing him. Izuku didn't know how to react, he couldn't scream for help, he couldn't fight back, all he could was cry as he gasped or air and a bright light got brighter and brighter, Izuku knew it was pointless he tried to get out of the sludge but the villain was far too powerful for him to break away from, especially without a quirk.
"I'd calm down, if I was you, if you don't struggle it won't hurt as much," the sludge tried to reason with him, but Izuku couldn't hear him.
The lack of Oxygen made his limbs go numb, his eyes roll to the back of his head, his life flashed before his eyes, memories of his mother, Katchan, school, his dreams of being a hero, all of these thoughts and regrets entered his brain they were going so fast Izuku couldn't process them all it was all so fast, his mind was racing but his death was slow, everything got darker and darker. And then…
Everything turned black.
Izuku awoke with a small pain on his right cheek, like someone was slapping him at an incredible speed. Izuku then heard a familiar voice up to calling out him. "Hey, hey, boy, wake up, hey–"
"I'm up mum I'm u-" Izuku said in annoyance thinking that it was his own mother waking him up but in fact, as the memories of what happened he saw "ALL MIGHT!"
"Oh, you're awake! That's great!" All Might said as he stood up from his previously crouching position. "I was worried that you might've been badly injured!"
"But I see that you're fine now! So I will go! If you should still be feeling unwell, I would advise you to go to the nearest hospital!" All Might said and turned around, preparing to jump.
"C-could yo-" Izuku stuttered before he said All Might raise his hand out to stop him.
"Already did, my boy! Well, if you are okay, then I must be on my way!" All Might said bending down preparing to jump away, All Might then leaped into the air soaring past several building as he flew across the city. However, something felt off, like he had just again 180 pounds on his legs, he turned his head to see the boy from before clutching his right leg and holding on for dear life.
"That was pretty reckless of you kid." All Might scowled as Izuku began to cough up the large amounts of bugs he had just swallowed while mid-air. "Make sure to knock the door till someone lets you out." All Might finished as he turned to leave yet again.
"Can someone Quirkless like me even become a hero?" Izuku blurted out and asked.
All Might turned back to face Izuku, his normal smile gone and he spoke the words Izuku hated, and wished would never come out of All Might's mouth.
"I am sorry. Truly I am, but no. I don't think you can become a hero, but there are other professions that are plenty heroic, like becoming a policemen or becoming part of the fire service, even with the existence of heroes they are still important and great professions." All Might explained in an unusual sympathetic voice. "Now I must be off." He said as he jumped away, leaving Izuku in a state of shock.
Izuku kept his forced smile, not sure what other expression he could have in his current mood. He should have known better. Everyone told him he could never be a hero. And they were right.
Suddenly Izuku heard a loud explosion to the west of him, smoke filled the air as he could practically taste it. Usually a villain fight would excite him but he felt nothing. For the first time in his life, Izuku just didn't care what some hero was doing or what run of the mill villain was trying to do.
As Izuku left the top of the building his glanced back at the burning building, he recognized most of the hero's there and the villain...The same one from before. Guilt hit Izuku like a truck as he realized one of the bottles must have fallen out of All Might's pockets when he grabbed on to him. This. This was his fault!
Once Izuku got closer he that none of the heroes were actually fighting the Villain, just keeping damage control. Apparently none of their Quirks were right for the situation. Izuku didn't pay much attention, he wanted to see what the sludge villain was doing, it had another person, ready to kill them and take their body just like what nearly happened to him. And it was all his fault.
Making his way to the front, he wanted to see the person he had just condemned to a slow painful death and when he saw sludge's victim Izuku felt a small part of him die inside. It was Bakugou. While he hadn't been friends with the boy for almost a decade, in fact he regularly bullied and assaulted him for his Quirkless status, Izuku still felt awful. He saw the angry but fearful look on Bakugou's face, he saw tons of Quirked people standing there doing nothing, he saw heroes doing nothing. He had to do something, he had to save his friend.
His heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest, it was beating so fast he could practically hear it even with the countless explosions, Izuku's feet moved on its own, he ran past the pros and into the building, he saw Bakugou's head turn to face him, but Izuku pressed on. Izuku then took his school bad and launched several pencils and rulers at the eye of the sludge villain causing him to wince in pain, realising Bakugou.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Bakugou yelled as he gasped for air after his near suffocation.
"M…My body just moved." Izuku said with a small smile, tears pouring down his face as Izuku grabbed Bakugou's arm and threw him towards the heroes he previously passed up.
The sludge villain had now recovered, and he looked almost as angry as Bakugou.
"YOU BRAT! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!" Sludge yelled as he made a slimy tendril preparing to strike at Izuku.
"Now Katchan's out the heroes are coming, you better leave now!" Izuku threatened as Sludge glared at him angrily.
"Then I'll just take your body like I originally planned!" Sludge shouted as he, just like before surrounded Izuku and began to enter his body, Izuku could briefly hear Bakugou shouting for him but his hearing faded pretty quickly.
As Izuku was suffocating for the second time today, he felt happy, he knows his mother will miss him but if he was being honest with himself he was happy he could save his friend and clean up the mess he had made, with no extra Quirk helping him, sludge should be fairly easy to take down, he didn't want to die but if it meant that he could save a life, if he could be a hero, then he could die happy, which he did.
As the last of the dark green sludge entered Izuku's body, his eyes rolled to the back of his head, his heart stopped to beat and his body collapsed to its knees, but despite that Izuku Midoriya died…
With a smile on his face.
A/N: This hurt me, it hurt me a lot, Izuku is by far my favourite My Hero character so killing him off like this made me feel bad, not as bad I will next chapter though, and that's going to be much harder to write.
You might ask why I am doing this then? Well I think it's an interesting premise, I'm taking inspiration from the superior Spider-Man story line, with the villain taking the heroes body and becoming a vigilante, but I just wanted to write something new, most of my stories aside Mimic Hero don't change the canon that much and still follow the vents of the original timeline but this will only have one or two canon arcs in it, so while I know the premise is weird I hope you all enjoyed it regardless. And don't worry the next chapter will be longer.
