Hello everyone. Out of writer's block and advice from greyking, I decided another story. Also, since I realised how new I am to the site, I can't expect reviews until a story get's 30 or more chapters. You don't need to favorite if you don't want to, or even like it. I just want an honest opinion. This is a co link story with brysainproventure12. This is Class 1A. Enjoy
Chapter 1: A Bad Day For A Monster
A giant man and a fire shooter are battling it out in the city. A crowd forms for the fight, seeing a hero battling a villain was cool after all. The fire man ducks and weaves around the giant man. They then, both looking worn out, come at it for the final clash. The main character … is neither of these men. In fact, it's one kid in the crowd.
He wears a navy blue vest with a flame pattern on the right side. He wears black pants with a spike belt. He wears nike sneakers. He has a small bag on his back. He along navy blue hair and normally has spiked teeth along with orange eyes. Then again, he was too busy sparkling like Luffy looking at meat. 'So cool! Nothing is as cool as a hero battling it out with a villain' he thought as he watched them.
This is Ryukai Claw. "Fanboy?" One man next to him questioned. He jumped.
"Well, I guess a little." Ryukai said in an embarrassed man laughed.
"Don't act so shy, a lot of people fan out over heros these days. Plan on being one?" He asked.
Ryukai grinned. "Of course, geezer." The old man then got angry.
"I'm not that old!" He yelled.
"Sorry!" Ryukai screamed.
Later, At School
After apologising he ran to school after realising he was late. Class then began. "Alright students. Now that you're in your last year of middle school, you need to start to think about your future and what schools and careers your planning." He then looked from his papers and saw no one was listening. "You all plan on hero stuff aren't you?"
"YEAH!" The class cheered showing off their quirks.
"You aren't allowed to use quirks in class!" He screamed. "Now, let's go over people who want to go to U.A.. First up, Chen Ki." A kid with a plain white tee and silver hair smirked.
"Of course a main character like me is going in. Not the background characters though." A bunch of people got angry looks from people.
"Next up, Ryukai Claws." The class stopped a second before turning to the boy in question. He started to sweat but seemed more focused on his book. The teacher kept calling a couple of names but the class only paid half attention. They whispered to each other. "You think they'll take him?"
"I hope not, that would be a scary thought."
"Why should he even join? He would do more bad than good."
The comments kept going about him but he ignored them. 'Just wait till the bell then get out of here.' He thought. Chen stared at Ryugo with malice in his eyes.
After Class, In The Hall
Ryukai just walked with his head down, and hoped to avoid confrontation. "Kaibu!" Ryukai then swore at every entity there was in his head. He turned around and saw Chen and 2 guys behind him. "Are you really planning on going to that school?" He was about to reply until a golden chain erupted from Chen's hand and wrapped around Ryukai.
Chen then marched up to Ryukai and got in his face. "You know, a monster really shouldn't apply to a hero school." He said with a sneer. Chen then pulled out a book from Ryukai's bag. "What do we have here, controlling urges 101." He looked at it for a second before tossing it out a window.
"Hey leave my stuff alone!" Ryukai said with an angry scowl, eyes taking a slit like appearance. Chen then smirked.
"Losing control are we?" Ryukai flinched before his eyes returned to normal. "I wonder how long you can keep everyone else fooled." Chen said while dragging him to the window. "How long until you become the monster you truly are." He then leaned out Ryukai over the window. "I could just drop you out of here right now and get this over with." Ryukai's eyes widened a bit.
"But don't worry." He said as the chains disappeared. "The hero doesn't kill the monster until a deed is done or being done. So you're safe for now." After he got to the edge of the hall he stopped. "You might want to off yourself before I eventually do though, if you want to be a hero so bad. You could save so many lives that way to." Chen said as he and his 2 goons walked away.
Ryukai looked out the window and shook a bit. He saw his book in one of the trees and sighed. 'This day can't get any worse' he thought naively.
Meanwhile, In A Street
A man is running with money in his bag. He had long arms with a pump in each one. Everyone looks at him.
"Oh man, another bank robbery. I wish there was some ingenuity at least." A man says
"Look on the bright side, there could be a cool hero going after him." A woman next to him says.
"I doubt it. Like a big time hero would stop a small time bank robber." Another man in the group says.
"Excuse me." They turn to the sound of the voice and drop their jaws. "A woman told me a bank robber went this way, have you seen him?" They still gape. "Are you ok?"
After that, In An Alley
Ryukai walked into an alley because he wanted to clear his head before heading home. He saw nothing of interest and looked up. 'Sometimes, I wish it could stop. I wish I didn't have this curse.' He thought before remembering some moments in his childhood.
10 Years Ago, At His House
We see a young Ryukai staring at a clock. He waited … nonmoving … ever so patient to-DING. The clock struck 2:59. In that millisecond, he ran to both his parents at a speed that would make ida proud and scared at the same time. "It's three, it's three! TV time, TV time!" He screamed and jumped around his parents.
The dad appeared to have navy blue hair and a cyan eyes. He had toothy grin when his son asked that and put a hand with sharp nails on the boy's head. "TV time eh. Alright then, Let's watch. Ryua, grab us a snack" He said to his wife.
The mom had red hair and orange eyes. She had an impressive hourglass figure. She gave them a warm smile. "Sure thing honey." She went over to the counter and grabbed some crackers.
"Hurry, hurry he'll be on soon!" Ryukai screamed in excitement.
"Calm down honey we won't miss it." The mother assured as she sat down. They then turned on the tv.
"Welcome to a special we call, a day in the life of Deku. Today, you get to experience how the great Deku spends his day." The news broadcaster says. "I think I see him now … TURN THE CAMERA!" She yells at the cameraman. Even Ryukai sweatdropped at this. A figure landed on the street, creating a crater.
The figure was revealed to be a man with a green suit. He had metal plating on his legs. He had large white gloves on him. He wore a mask with bunny ears and a plate that made him look like he was smiling. He then spoke the words that shaped their era. "I AM HERE!"
"It's an honor to have your time Deku. Now what can you tell us about your day?"
"Well I always start the day with a healthy breakfast. Eggs and bacon with some toast and a glass of milk. Then I do my daily training. Push ups, sit ups, and plenty of juice. Then I go to look for any villains." Deku said with confidence.
"And what type of villains can we expect, and what do you think is the best thing to do until a hero arrives?"
"Well if a person is in danger you should see if you can help them without putting yourself in danger. The best course of action is to analyse your opponent and see potential weakness. For example, a fire based quirk could be stopped with something cold. Normally water but ice works to. Then there's fire extinguishers due to the chemical compound being able to nullify. There is also proximity to opponent to worry about. Honestly I think the farther the better if no hero is on the screen. Keeping distance prevents future damage and draws out the battle. Then we can worry about potential cops due to not being able to use quirks in public. Sometimes running can be the best course of action when-"
"Deku!?" He then realised he was mumbling.
"... PLUS ULTRA!" Deku screamed out of nowhere. The family at home sweatdropped at home. But Ryukai still had sparkles in his eyes ever since Deku appeared.
"Deku is so cool and smart! He gives help to everyone! When I get my quirk, I wanna be just like him." A man with blond hair shivered as he felt a chill on his spine.
"Yeah, when you get your quirk, I know you'll be an awsome hero little man." The dad said with a smile.
A Week Later, At The Playground
A couple of 7th grade bullies are taking money from crying kids. "What a bunch of losers, why don't you just let us take this and go away like normal brats." The bully said
"That's our lunch money! Give it back!" One kid said.
"Nah, I think I'll keep it." He then turned his index finger into a whip and hit the kid. "Now scram."
Ryukai saw the scene where the kid that got hit and responded from the only source he knew along with the only way he knew. TV and punching the bad guy. Afterwards the guy glared at him. "Leave them alone."
"You think you're some kind of hero?" He proceeds to use his whip to grab Ryukai's ankle and toss him around. "You have some kind of death wish?" The bully proceeds to kick him repeatedly in the stomach. "Your weak, I bet you don't even have a decent quirk." He kicks him more. As he does so blue fire slowly covers Ryukai's body along with scales. The bully, lost in his attack, is unaware. "You should just shut up and let us do our thing." Meanwhile the dad looking around for his son.
"I take my eyes off him for one second and he's gone." He looked around and saw Ryukai getting beaten up. "Hey, leave my son alo-" He was cut off by a blood curdling cry.
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAA!" That, was when Ryukai lost consciousness.
The Next Day
When you ask him about the time he woke up, Ryukai would describe coming out of water, but drowsy. 'What's going on.' He opened his eyes only to be greeted by a blinding light.
"Ryukai!" He then felt a hug. After his eyes adjusted, Ryukai saw it was his mother hugging him.
"Mom, what's going … on?" He looked around to see he was in a hospital bed. "Why am I at the doctor?" A man walked into the room. He had a stethoscope and a lab coat. He was followed by a police officer.
"Ah, I see you're awake there young man. If you don't mind I would like to ask you a few questions." The Ryua looked like she wanted to protest but Ryukai didn't notice.
"Ok sure." The doctor sat down and pulled out his notebook.
"Now, what's the last thing you remember?" The doctor asked.
"Ummmm oh, I was in the park! Thennnn there was a bully and … I don't know. Was he stopped?" He asked, worried on that last part. The people in the room shared a knowing glance.
The doctor then spoke up. "Well during the fight … your quirk awakened." Ryukai's face lit up like a christmas tree.
"Awesome, now I can be a hero … why don't I remember?" He asked coming back from the sparkle. This time the officer spoke up.
"According to a witness you seemed to have lost control, going into a rage." The officer paused for a moment not sure how to say this. "That bully is dead." At 4 years Ryukai fully didn't fully comprehend death. But from his understanding, he knew it was a bad thing. "Afterwards you tried to attack some other kids. Your father tried to interfere but got hurt badly. He's in a coma now."
Ryukai tilted his head. "What's a coma?" The officer and doctor gave each other a worried glance. The mother held the boy's hand.
"It's when a person sleeps for a long while." Ryukai simply nodded, getting he understood.
"Afterwards the pro hero I can't stop sparkling came in and stopped your rampage. After a fight you lost consciousness." Ryukai sparkled again.
"COOL! A pro showed up!" He screamed. He then realised something and pouted. "And I wasn't awake for it."
A Week Later, At School
A couple days later some of the kids at school heard about the event and started to keep away from him. He didn't get why. 'What did I do?' A couple of tough boys showed up.
"I heard you got your quirk, right?" Ryukai nodded. "Can we see it?" Ryukai smiled.
"Sure!" He said cheerfully. 'For a second, I thought people were avoiding me.' He then focused on his right arm. After learning about his quirk Ryukai tried to reactivate it. He just had to focus on a burning sensation inside him. His arm changed. It grew with blue scales, it had sharp claws on it along with smooth curved blades coming from the front of his arm. But one of the most notable feature was the blue fire.
The doctor said it was incredible for a kid his age due to oxygen being burned at such a fast rate … but Ryukai didn't listen due to age. He was also focused on a weird feeling. He didn't know why, but he didn't like the feeling, and it grew with the more of his body was covered. "What do you guys think, I'm still thinking of a name for it."
The kid smirked. "Wanna play a game?"
"What kind of game?" He questioned. The kid pulled out a deku figure and then stretched his arm.
"We fight to see what that quirk can do. You win, you get the toy." Another kid that looked like a young Chen ki came up.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?"
Ryukai stared at the toy with a sparkle. Then stopped.
"What happens if I lose?" The kid smirked.
"What have you got?"
"My shirt?" The other kids anime dropped.
"No, I meant toy wise." The kid said. Ryukai thought about this.
"Ummm, OH! I have a figure in my pocket for Bomberman." He pulled out a toy that had blond hair and giant grenades on his arms. His face in a snarl. "He's not as cool as Deku, but close enough." Elsewhere Bomberman had the sudden urge to kill the color blue.
The kid leaned to Chen. "Zip it dweb, I wanna see this." Chen looked sad but kept his mouth shut. "So, are you ready?" Ryukai nodded.
The kid stretched his arm and tried to hit Ryukai. In return, he lifted up his arm to block the attack. The kid's arm hit Ryukai's and the result was instantaneous. He pulled back his arm and screamed. There was cuts and a burn mark on it. Everyone turned their head as the teacher came and looked at his arm. She then turned to Ryukai.
"You should be ashamed for hurting a student like this." Ryukai was confused.
"But he-"
"NO! Go into the time out corner now! I will call your mother." She took the kid to the infirmary while Chen looked at Ryukai scared. Ryukai looked around and saw other kids giving him looks.
"But … I didn't do anything." Ryukai said with tears in his eyes.
"Liar, you hurt him on purpose." The friend of the kid, Kid 2, said. The other kids started to play further away from Ryukai, who walked to the corner.
3 Weeks Later, At Home
Ryukai finally understood. He was forced to figure out all the hate looks and treatment because no one would tell him. He understood why Chen started to call him Kaibu. It was short for Kaibutsu (Freak Monster). He understood what death was. He understood it and cried in his room. One lesson in school was to get kids to use the internet, the world was evolving after all. He looked up things and figured it all out. He was a monster.
His mother knocked. "Ryukai, can I come in honey?" Ryukai said nothing for a while and Ryua walked in anyway. "Honey what's wrong?"
"... Mom, am I a monster?" He asked still crying. The mother started to gather tears in her eyes and hug him.
"Your not a monster Ryukai, and i'll make sure to protect you." They sat like that for the next hour.
The Present, Back With Ryukai
He sighed at the memories and started to walk again. Suddenly the criminal from earlier showed up. He looked at Ryukai. "Sweet a hostage, maybe I can use you to get that guy off my tail." He said as he walked toward him. Ryukai grimaced as he changed his arms. "Nice quirk kid, check out mine."
His arms suddenly inflated. He then shot air out the hands to Ryukai. He pulled up his arms to block the punch. Ryukai was pushed back as the criminal waved his hand. "Ow, that's hot. Let's try this." He inflated his arms again but instead of launching he shot compressed air at Ryukai. He put his claws into the ground in order to resist the wind pressure. The criminal laughed. "Not much combat eh? To bad for you." He tried to jump at him again only to be grabbed by a hand.
The criminal turned along with Ryukai toward the man who was the symbol of peace. Deku! "Am I interrupting?" There was a silence. "Ok seriously, why does everyone get quiet when they see me today. It's really annoying you know." Ryukai started to stutter.
"de-De-DEKU!" He then ignored the villain, shoving him out of the way. "SO AWESOME! I'm a huge fan and admirer." He then reached but realised he didn't have his bag. "Oh, can you sign my-crap. I think I dropped my backpack." Ryukai looked over and saw it. He walked over and grabbed it while pulling out a notebook. "Can you sign my book." Deku looked at him for a bit.
'...Wow. Was I like this as a kid.' "Sorry, but I need to to stop the robber. Now as for you." He dramatically turned to the criminal … only for the spot to be empty. "... Damit! I have to go, sorry kid." Deku proceed to jump to the top of the building from wall to wall. Ryukai stared in awe until he was out of sight.
"So cool!" He said still fanboying. He then stopped smiling and looked to his notes. 'I couldn't stop the bad guy. And not only that I help him escape … I wonder if they're right, maybe I am a monster."
