There are two types of prophecies, the first and the one izuku was starting to hate more than anything were the ones that couldn't be understood until after they happened, such as the one he wrote down near the end of class
'under trail shall darkness rise, followed by the light, which shall lead you skyward'
only now as he was catching his breath on some roof did he understand what that meant. when he walked through the tunnel a villain made of sludge came out and attacked him and almost killed him. All might then arrived and captured the villain and izuku stupidly grabbed onto the heroes pants as he leapt across the city.
"young man that was incredibly dangerous, now i must be off, just bang on the door and i'm sure someone will come and let you out." hearing the words of his hero he remembered why he had tried the crazy maneuver "wait" he cried, all might kept walking "i will not, i really must be going" izuku held out his hand and faltered slightly, his voice losing his desperation "i just, i just wanted to know if you could be a hero without a quirk. mine isn't overly helpful in combat, but i just want to help people, to smile and tell them that everything will be okay, just like you"
Izuku looked up to see a skeletal man surrounded by smoke, his long blond hair and clothes the only giveaway that this could possibly be the same man as was there not a few seconds before. Izuku was about to freak out but got out his phone and went into his prophecies folder. "wait kid" skelemight spoke, spewing blood. Izuku slightly shook at the event but continued in his file "i'm not taking a photo, i'm looking for.." he trailed off as he found what he was looking for "two sources of light, one with seven the other alone, both are true so calm your tone"
Izuku took a deep breath and looked up to all might "sorry, like i said my quirks not useful in combat but that...i-i needed that, i think" he spoke, all might let out a sigh "what i'm about to say, you must tell no one." izuku gave a firm nod and sat against the railing, lifting his shirt to reveal a massive wound "i got into a pretty bad fight about five years ago, my stomach and half my respiratory system was destroyed, nowadays i can only do hero work for about three hours a day, the rest of the time i look like this" izuku looked at the scar, it looked awful. "in truth i smile to hide the fear i feel. pros are always risking their lives. I cannot simply say, 'you can become a hero even without power'"
The words were harsh and straight forward. izuku was about to cry, about to reply but his eyes suddenly lit up purple "kid" all might spoke, standing from where he sat. izuku was typing frantically into his phone, he stopped and his eyes returned to normal, he rubbed them once before looking at the text. after two seconds he started heading for the door "i gotta go, it was nice to meet you" izuku spoke as he quite literally leapt to the door of the roof and then down the stairs.
all might looked to where the boy had left before grabbing his forehead "uhhh" he groaned "i should have told him to keep it a secret" he mumbled. a sudden boom echoed across the city and all might turned to see a rising tower of smoke.
oo0oo
the second types of prophecies are those that inform you of events you yourself take part in, much like advice but actually helpful if you can find the context. izuku preferred these ones although this one was taking the cake a little 'the darkness will take the giant to a sea of flame' izuku understood what that meant immediately
'the villain from earlier now had bakugo, ('giant' standing for giant pain in his ass) and everywhere was on fire, what izuku was supposed to do about it he didnt know, however he knew he was meant to be here. he brushed his way through to the front and watched as the heroes stood by the side not really helping talking about effectiveness or something. Izuku looked over to the monster that had him earlier and to the blond in his grasp. Bakugo turned to the crowd with scared pleading eyes.
Izuku suddenly found himself running forward towards the rampaging villain and trapped student. with no prophecies to go on he relied on his mind, remembering his notes on hereos he took of his backpack and threw it towards the villains, his stationary fell out and struck the villain in the eye allowing bakugo to get a breath of air "what the fuck are you doing" he yelled before being covered again. Izuku reached the boy and started to claw his way into the villain "you looked like you were begging for help, i couldn't just stand there and watch you die" he spoke through watery eyes.
the villain recovered from his attack and was about to strike at the boy when it was stopped by a large fist "i really am pathetic aren't i, young man, you've shown me i wasn't living up to my own ideals" he suddenly grabs the back of izukus collar as with bakugos and trades fists slamming the villain "detroit smash" he yelled, splattering the villain all over the street, a low rumble was heard above and in the silent awe of the crowd clouds gathered and it started to rain, dowsing the fire no doubt caused by bakugo. Izuku was given the once over by the paramedics before being released to the heroes "hey kid you know what you did was extremely dangerous, you could have gotten yourself killed" one of them spoke "what were you even trying to do" another asked. despite how much he admired the heroes he couldn't help but think it was unfair for them to chew him out when they did nothing when bakugo was in trouble. he left the scene and made his way home, unwanted by the news camera in favor of the number 1 hero.
As the sun set izuku heard a call from behind "deku" bakugo called. Izuku turned around to see a pissed off explosion maker "you didn't save me you hear, even if you damn quirk told you to get me you didn't do jack shit, i had him right where i wanted him" izuku looked down with a small smirk as bakugo stormed off "right where you wanted huh?" he asked the air. he turned around to continue home when al might suddenly skid in front of him "i am here" izuku became alarmed "all might, w-weren't you swarmed by the press" izuku asked all might performed his signature laugh "ahahah, i stand for justice not sound bites, for i am all mi-" he suddenly shrank back to his skeletal form "-ight" he spoke, wiping blood form his mouth. "young man, there are three things i must do. the first is to thank you, if you had not run in then i would not have been inspired to help, your actions saved that young man, so thank you." izuku gave a nod, not trusting his voice to be steady "the second is a correction, i told you that you could not become a hero without power, yet you were more heroic than those sworn to protect the innocent, allow me to rectify my mistake. you young man, can become a hero" izuku let down tears, not bothering to wipe them away, his hero, the number 1 hero all might said that he believes that he can be a hero, that was reward enough. "the third is that i would help you achieve your dream, i offer you my quirk" that caused izuku to pause, all might was offering his...quirk? that didn't seem right, quirks couldn't be passed on except through genetics, unless thats not what he meant which would change the fundamental understanding of quirks as a whole and- "kid" all might interrupted. izuku looked up and realised by the look on his heroes face that he had been mumbling "my quirk is a power, much like a sacred torch of legend that comes passed from one bearer to the next. and i've tagged you as the next in line" izuku listened intently "it's the power to transfer power. and the name of that vaunted ability to which i've been entrusted is none other than: ONE FOR ALL" izuku smiled wider at the name "one man cultivates the power, that man grants it to another. and again it is fostered and passed down, in doing so brave hearts with the unwavering call to save lives can burnish this might!" it was rather impressive "in truth i've been searching for a successor for ages, and now i've finally come across someone i wouldn't mind giving it to. you who, despite having a quirk not suited for battle. you were the one who shined more than any of the other so-called 'heroes'" all might relaxed "but hey, it's still your decision to make, of course. what do you say?" izuku took a second but smiled to himself when he felt no prophecy, this was his decision, and that made him happy "i accept" all might smirked "an instant reply, starting strong kid" suddenly izukus eyes turned purple and he typed his message into his phone. again rubbing his eyes when it stopped he looked at the most direct message he had gotten 'welcome to hell' it read ominously "actually kid-whats you name" all might asked. midoriya let out a small laugh and realized that he hadn't actually told him his name "i'm midoriya izuku" he spoke proudly "young midoriya, i was wondering, what quirk do you posses" all might asked. izuku rubbed the back of his head shyly before looking back to his hero "it's called 'fates debut' whenever my eyes light up purple i record a prophecy relating to my future, the one i read earlier to you was one from a few months ago, i didn't understand it until i met you, then the one i just got i understood right away." all might smirked "thats why you ran into danger" he asked. izuku shook his head searching through his phone "no, it only told me that kacchan was in danger" he spoke showing the text from earlier "giant" he asked. izuku shrugged "as long as i understand them it's okay" he spoke. all might looked in thought for a moment "what did it say when you accepted" he asked. izuku jolted a bit before showing all might the newly added memo. the hero tilted his head back and roared with laughter despite the blood spewing from his mouth. "ahahahahah, well, at least you know what to expect" he replied smiling. they traded contact info and planned to meet up in two days, Izuku had indeed been welcomed into hell, now he just needed to endure it.
