by OmegaDecion

Who hasn't been a kid and dreamed they could one day be a superhero? Well, for one teenage boy, Odie Hisashi, this dream actually becomes true. through a long forgotten part of his ancient family line, dwells power of possibly limitless potential. Naturally, nothing comes without its price. What Odie must accept, is that this price may yet ruin his dream from coming true.

MHA - God Among Heroes

Ch 1: From Humble Beginnings

(Inster: Sirius - Kill La Kill opening 1, english cover by Sapphire)

(The music starts up as colored lights flashed as the intro pulls up, reading "MHA - God Among Heroes". Around were multiple purple gems before the three gods were seen with smiles.)

Starting now

No more rules allowed

Cause I'm throwing off the shackles

(The camera scrolls through Japan through a city before setting sights on UA high school with its students and heroes.)

I'm breaking free and skipping the toll

No stopping me I sprint to my goal

(Odie was seen at the edge of UA, polishing his gauntlets while wearing his armor before looking at the camera and smiled as his necklace glowed purple.)

Even if I lose my way

I'll make it okay

(Through a light and dark glittering void, images of each student from Class 1-A were seen. Iida adjusting his glasses, Tsu cocking her head with her tongue out, Kirishima hardening his arms with a smirk, Sero showing his tape elbows while smiling, Momo smiling while brushing her hair, Todoroki breathing ice with a spark of fire from his left side.)

Healing wounds from the path that I've sown

(Mina cheering, Jiro swirling her earplug lobes, Bakugou sneering with his hands sparking and Izuku throwing a fist up with Uraraka jumping with pumped fists.)

I'll change the threads of fate turn 'em into my own

(The scene changes with darkness around with a dark man and another with multiple hands before seeing a young man in shadows smirking as green, blue, yellow and red energy glowed around him as his eyes shined.)

Shining brightly for all to see

I hold my destiny

(Odie threw his arms out as light and shadow surged around him as his gauntlets ignited light and dark blades curved back to his arm.)

Just like a star

Who knew I'd come this far

(Izuku roared as he surged One for All around his body as his body ignited with power and his body covered in red energy streams and green lightning.)

'Cause life's too short to sit there crying

And I'm too busy flying

(The other students of 1-A showed off their amazing quirks and landed behind Izuku and odie while looking outward of UA)

With luck my guide and friend

I'll see it right through the end

(Odie and Izuku glared ahead while the pro heroes jumped into action behind them as villains, thugs and the two villains from before charged.)

Blazing wildly, burning out

I wanna scream and shout

(The students charged as well as they powered through the villains with All might facing the giant bird man as they clashed their flurry of fists.)

All through the night

Cause I was born to fight

(The students and pros fought the others as odie and Izuku passed by and faced against the mystery villain who smirked and revealed two gauntlet blades as each one glowed red, green, blue, and yellow.)

Until the day I finally reach you

I'll make my dreams come true

(Odie and izuku roared and charged at the villain as the opponent charged as well as they clashed their attacks, colored energy filling the air)

'Cause starting now today

It's time to find my own way

(Odie and Izuku lunged together as they charged all their energy to one punch and clashed with the villain, light filling the screen as the three gods were seen smiling with purple gems around them.)

But with my rules

(We see Odie, Izuku and the rest of class 1-A in front of UA in hero poses with All Might behind pointing outwards with the villains seen in a faded image in the sky with the Title above before the screen went black.)

Musutafu, a city located in the country of Japan. In this beautiful city, humans began to develop incredible powers and abilities that were said to be known in comic books and shows. Around the world, people world wide gained these incredible powers, thus making themselves either heroes or villains. The powers gained by these people were called quirks. 80% of the population of humans hold these powerful quirks. The remaining 20% were known as quirkless people. Many of these quirkless people were fine with no powers and live modern lives.

This story will go down as one of the best, as we dive into the world of two young teens who have different drives, but the same goal. They will fight together, become the best of friends, and be the greatest heroes ever to be known in all of hero history. This is where their story begins.

My name is Odie Hisashi. Ever since I was small, I wanted to be a hero. Most kids would watch cartoons any chance they got. Myself on the other hand, I was watching the news just waiting for a major fight between superheroes and villains. You know, watching the heroes save the day. Seeing them use their powers, doing what they could to make our city safe always filled me with awe.

I say that I wanted to be a hero, but there was one small problem. Just like 20% of the current population, I had been born without a quirk. Not only that, my family line was one of the few that had never had a member who possessed one. Deku was a term other kids would use to poke fun of me. Other kids I grew up with were in the same boat. One kid I remember called Izuku Midoriya, had both parents with a quirk yet he had been born with none. From my elementary school years, Izuku and I were friends that understand each other's dreams. He even told me his own mother gave up on him after they discovered his fate as a quirkless boy. While hurt on the inside, he was still determined to be a hero, no matter what.

Despite not having a quirk of my own, I still wanted to become a superhero as well. Course that was easier said than done. Since I had no way to change my fate, I was forced to focus my efforts on other interests. You see, for the longest time, about six generations or so, my family have been renowned archaeologists. For those who don't know, they are scientists who study old artifacts from Earth's past. My dad was an up and coming one who was taught by his dad. My grandfather was constantly going on expeditions to unknown sites and coming back with all sorts of relics. He would sit me down at the table and show off every one of them and explain what they were. Not once did I see one that didn't perk my interest. They were the coolest things I ever saw.

Today was no different. My grandpa had just come home from his last digsite and my mother was dropping me off. "Alright Odie, behave for Grandpa while I'm gone." She smiled at me.

"Don't I always?" I smiled back and pecked her cheek before jumping out of the car. I raced to his front door and knocked as loud as I could.

A few minutes later, the old man opened the door and grinned down at me. "My word, I wonder who could ever be knocking that eagerly."

"Oh ha ha, Grandpa." I chuckled before hugging his waist. "I missed you."

"I know. You sure have grown since the last time I saw you. How old are you now?" My grandpa asked as he ruffled my hair.

"Ten." I smiled at him.

"Well, you're growing quick." He chuckled. "And you might even be a big hit with the ladies soon, hmmm?"

I gave a shrug. "Girls are weird, I can't understand them."

My response made the man chuckle as he brought me inside his home. "Oh I know, believe me, I felt the same way about your grandmother when we first met."

"Okay, enough girl talk, what did you bring back from your last excavation?" I asked eagerly.

"Not even five minutes here and you're already excited." He smirked and shook his head. We walked into the living room where I saw a few wooden crates. "I think you'll get a kick out these, Odie. We actually found something rather unique." The man sat down and pulled out a photo. "We were digging up in the mountains when one of the workers struck the wall and collapsed on itself. On the other side we found a secluded lake with a massive stone temple built in the center."

I stared at the picture to study the temple. Overall, it was built out of connected structures. A tall rectangular tower in the center with two short yet long rectangles on either side. To be accurate, it looked like someone laid a giant "H" down on the ground and stood a 2 by 4 on its end in the center. "Looks boxy." I replied.

My grandpa laughed. "That it does. Hard to believe that a building like this would be hidden away in the mountains." He pried off a lid to one of the crates and reached inside. "We found quite a few different items inside the temple. These were actually sitting on their own altars." The first item he retrieved and set in my hands was a stone helmet. "This here helmet had a symbol we believe to represent the moon on its altar. Supposedly this used to belong to a goddess named Phylon."

My eyes widened in shock at the stone helmet. "A goddess wore that helmet?"

"That's what the carvings nearby said. Perhaps it was, perhaps it wasn't. I doubt we'll ever know for sure." He took the helmet back and swapped it for another relic. This time it was a long stick that seemed to have a larger portion on one end that was hollowed out. "This staff was explained to belong sun god referred to as Exieon."

Another god to handle a powerful artifact? This was insane, yet awesome! "I think this find of yours was the jackpot, Gramps."

Yet the man had a glint in his eye. "I never said that was it, my boy." My grandpa opened the second crate and pulled out two gauntlets with buckler style shields attached to them. "These were on the third and last altar. If we decoded the carvings correctly, then these belonged to the god who acted as the guardian of the earth, Decion."

"Decion…" I breathed in awe. I turned to my grandfather. "The gauntlets look cleaner than the others."

The old man nodded as he leaned closer. "Sharp eyes you have their lad. We noticed that too. To be honest it's rather puzzling. The same carvings that described the gods depict Decion to be the oldest which should mean these relics should be worse off."

"So what will you do with these gauntlets?" I asked curiously.

"I'll be keeping them here with the others while I study them. Unfortunately none of the Japan history experts have never heard of this temple or its religion so they are reluctant to say these are real. Most likely they'll end up staying with me till I die." The man replied.

"Okay." I nodded sadly and gave the gauntlets one last look. "If it's not too much, can I at least try them on?"

My grandpa smiled. "Ok, be careful though."

I grinned as I slipped one of them onto my right hand. It was still pretty big on my tiny arm, but it looked really cool. One thing that caught my eye was that the right hand one seemed to be a dark color while the left was whitish. My fingers traced over a bit of etched symbols on the right gauntlet...and something weird happened. Before me, the symbols seemed to flicker like a mirage and rearranged themselves into a word I could read. "Order…" I breathed.

"Odie?" I heard my grandfather speak and gently shake my shoulder.

The motion pulled me from my trance as I looked back up at him. "Huh?" I blinked. "What is it, Grandpa?"

"How did you know what those symbols spelled?" He asked and pointed to the gauntlet.

Looking again, they were back in their original form. "I...I don't know."

"Hmmmm…" My grandfather pondered a bit. "What did you notice? Did you feel anything, or maybe a spark of some kind?"

No matter how hard I tried to think back on it, I couldn't explain what happened. "I'm not sure. I just saw its name."

"Name?" The elder asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, this gauntlet is named Order."

"Interesting…" The old man nodded. "You knew the name, yet didn't study any of the ruins or the gauntlets."

I gazed at the gauntlet I had on. "What does it mean, grandpa?"

He gave a soft chuckle. "I don't know, but you sure gave me a mystery to figure out." We put the relics back in their crates before my grandpa reaching into another one. When his hand retreated, I saw him clutching a tiny purple gem in his fingers. "I was going to surprise you with one of these later, but I think you should take one now. The temple was littered with these stones. They were even poking out of the walls. The ruins described them as soul gems. The guardians would bestow these on mortals they deemed worthy to grant blessings. Perhaps this will give you some luck in the future."

I chuckled a bit as he put the gem in my palm. "Luck maybe, but this is just a gem, a cool one, but only a gem. I don't see how these will give humans blessings from the gods."

"Yeah yeah, laugh it up, sunny." The old man chuckled. "Magic may be a myth, but back in the olden days it's said that we had a few relatives that were skilled in magic. Course, that is probably just a load of bologna."

"Hey, I'm willing to believe in anything as long as there is evidence to back it up." I chuckled.

The man laughed and hugged me. "Remember this about myths. All stories, no matter how distorted time makes them, are spawned from something true." I nodded to his words as I put the soul gem in my pocket for later. The rest of the day I spent with him as he continued to go on about the many adventures he had and the wonders he saw. This was how I loved the spend my childhood. Sadly, not all things can go on forever.

Right now, I'm in my last year of middle school. About a year ago, my grandpa died. His old age had finally proved too much and took him in his sleep. He still remains one of the role models of my life. The purple gem he gave me hangs from my neck as a memento of him.

Now a new chapter of my life begins. Today marks the end of my middle school life and the beginning of trying to get into highschool. I still have no quirk, yet that hasn't deterred me from wanting to be a hero. As it turns out, Izuku and I both had the same idea to apply for the top hero school in the city, UA. Although...not everybody was thrilled about this.

Due to our dream, we were harassed by students and other kids our age about us being quirkless and useless. Getting into UA without a quirk is a death sentence some would say. One in particular, wanting to crush our dreams, is Katsuki Bakugou. He has a quirk which he calls explosion. Put simply, he can create explosions from his hands using his sweat. I won't deny his quirk is amazing and powerful. It's his ego, pride and attitude I don't like about him. He always intimidates us and threaten us with his quirk, even attacks us with it as do his two lackie friends. Crazy thing is, he also wants to be a hero. But how can he be one if he is bullying and harassing the two of us or others like a low life thug or villain?

Even with today being the last day of school, it was no different. The teacher sat down in front of us with a smirk. "Now then class, I have some papers here to have you all fill out for your future jobs." Around us, some students were building up their quirks. The teacher grinned and threw the papers he had off his desk. "Ha! What do you all care!? You all want to be in the heroes league!" The students around Izuku and I cheered, showing off their quirks from fire, long fingers, and creepy enough, a quirk that can allow one to pull out their eyeballs. "Course I know some of you even intend on going to UA, Bakugou, even Izuku and Odie."

The second the teacher mentioned us, we could feel the glares from the other students before they burst out in laughter. "Odie and Izuku applying to UA!?" One student laughed. "That has to be a joke, even when they're quirkless!" This wasn't anything new to me, but it still stung to hear them putting me down.

Izuku on his end spoke up. "UA actually got rid of that rule, so Odie and I can be the first two without quirks to role in."

Bakugou grinned. "Oh please, you two deku's don't stand a chance of getting in. You should give up your pathetic dreams of being heroes." His palms crackled with his quirk. "Besides, UA could have someone like me! You two would die in the entrance exam. This school is already crappy, you two really wanna embarrass it by failing so hard?!"

"At least I don't have a quirk that shows off how much hot air I'm full of." I grumbled.

Many of the student's 'Oooooooooo'ed as Katsuki scowled before yelling and slamming a palm on my desk, sending an explosion in front of me. "You wanna repeat that, Deku Odie!?"

"Yes, my point exactly." I spoke with a blank expression.

The end of class came as the students left. I was packing my own stuff while Izuku was looking at the news on his phone with a notebook. He was into heroes a lot, so he actually analyzed them, their quirks, plus their strengths and weaknesses. "Anything interesting, Izuku?" I chuckled.

"Well, I got to see some of the new heroes in action today on my way to school." He answered. "A villain appeared at the station. The new hero Kamui Woods was about to put him in his place with his wood chain imprisonment, but Mount Lady took his spotlight in the end."

"Wow, tough break for him. Guess that means the new girl is doing good for herself." I nodded.

Before Izuku could put his notebook in his bag, Bakugou snagged it from him with an irritated expression. "I don't know what you two dekus are doing, but we're not done here."

"Whatcha got, Deku Izuku's Diary?" One of Bakugou's friends asked as he held up the book. "What? You're seriously taking notes on how to be a hero?"

"That's the dumbest thing ever!" The second lacky started laughing with his friend.

"Alright, very funny guys, give it back to him already." I sighed.

However…

BOOM!

Bakugou straight up used his quirk and scorched Izuku's notebook, causing me to go wide eyed while Izuku screamed in horror. "That's so mean…" My friend whimpered before Bakugou tossed the burned book out the window behind him. This wasn't the first time he's done something like this. Unfortunately, without a quirk there was little I could do except make my towards the door to find the book.

"People are always destined for greatness when they have a powerful quirk." The spiky blonde spoke. "I know for a fact cause I'm good at it." Bakugou's friends wore nervous expressions before he placed his hands on our shoulders as they started burning. "Listen close you two." He spoke as he gave a large smile, and not the friendly kind. "Don't even think of applying to UA or else."

The two of us glanced at each other before the three passed us. "Shame, thought they would put up more of a fight." One of the boys spoke.

As they got to the door, Katsuki stopped and spoke to us. "You know if you two really wanna become heroes, there is another way. Just pray you'll get a quirk in the next life, and take a swan dive off a building." With that, the boys laughed and exited the building.

"Destined to be great my ass. Just cause a monkey can scratch his ass doesn't make him a genius." I huffed and turned to Izuku. His reaction to what Katsuki told him seemed to take a heavier toll. Izuku's head dipped a bit with his hair shadowing his eyes while he clenched his backpack straps. "You gonna be ok, man?"

Izuku gave a small nod. "Telling us to kill ourselves…" He spoke softly. "If we did...what would he do then?"

"You've known him longer than I have, but I don't think either one of us could answer that." I spoke.

The two of us left the classroom and searched for Izuku's book. We soon found it in a pond with koi fish munching on the burned book. "My dreams have turned into fish food…" Izuku spoke sadly. "That's enough, give it back." He grabbed his burned wet book in his hands. "...Damn…"

The book was scorched and soaked with many of the pages ruined. "Sorry man, I know you treasured that thing." I breathed.

We soon left the school grounds and walked down the streets. Izuku looked through the pages that were still in tact with a solemn expression. "I don't get it, Odie...why did we have to be the ones with a dream of being heroes...yet we weren't born with a quirk?"

"Destiny can be a cruel mistress. We have to make the most of the gifts we are given." I replied.

While silent for a moment, Izuku glanced up with a firm look. "You're right. We can still be heroes. We just have to work harder than anyone else." I gave a smile and nod as we walked through a tunnel. However, what happened next changed our lives. When we passed a manhole, we heard it clicking. We turned before our eyes widened. Emerging was green slime, but it formed into a being with yellow and red eyes. "Uh...a Villain?" Izuku asked in horror.

The slime villain gazed at us with a malice filled grin. "You two will be perfect flesh suits for me to hide in." The two of us tried to run, but were easily captured by his liquid like body. To our horror, he began pumping his slime in us from our noses and mouths, and down our throats. We could hardly breath and move from the pain we felt. "Hold still, this will only hurt for a minute, and you two will feel better soon." The villain laughed. The two of us tried to claw the slime off, but it proved useless. "Don't try to escape. My body is made of liquid. Neither of you will leave here." He gave a chuckle. "Thanks for the help kiddies, you two are real heroes to me."

Everything was going black as my breath was fading. Tears formed as Izuku and I feared for the worst.

CRASH!

Following a crash from behind, came a deep voice. "Don't worry, you two are safe...Now that I am here that is!"

The slime villain gasped. "Dammit! I didn't know he was in the city!"

The man ran forward as the slime villain tried to attack him. He dodged and pulled a fist back. "Texas...SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH!" A sudden burst of wind erupted as it hit the slime villain.

"Gaaah! I can't...hold together!" He screeched before exploding in slime, thus freeing us in our weakened states.

I landed on the ground and coughed while breathing in the sweet life giving air. "That...was too fucking close…" I wheezed.

"Glad to see you two are unharmed!" The voice spoke as the two of us looked up. The man who saved us was large, buff even with gold blonde hair with two parts sticking up, and had a large toothy smile. "I would have caught that evil doer sooner, but I lost track of him in the sewers! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

With my sight finally back after the near death experience, I stared at our savior. "Only one guy has that hairdo...All might."

Izuku who was next to me was flushing heavily and trembling. "A-All Might..in the flesh...he looks so much cooler in person!" he blinked. "Ah, I gotta get his autograph…" He darted around his bag for a piece of paper and a pen before noticing his hero analysis notebook. "Please sign my book!" When he opened it, shockingly his signature was already in it. "AH! HE ALREADY SIGNED IT!" Izuku turned to the legend and bowed repeatedly. "Thank you so much! This will be a family treasure! A family heirloom that will be passed down for generations!"

I chuckled. "Guess you can scratch one trinket off you bucket list."

All might chuckled and gave us a thumbs up. "Not a problem young man. Now, I must be heading off." He turned and started stretching.

"Wait, you're leaving right now?" Izuku asked.

"Heroes cannot rest or stop with evil doers among us." The man replied. He took a deep breath and leaped high in the air. "Until then!" Now, you would expect Izuku and I to be heading home now...but Izuku jumped the gun and grabbed his leg, which I had to do as well since I didn't want him to get hurt. "Hey hey hey! What are you two doing!?" He started tugging us off his legs. "Let go, I love my fans but this is ridiculous!"

"No! If we let go, we'll fall and die!" Izuku quickly spoke which got him to stop.

"Oh, you have a point there." He replied.

"There's so many questions we have All Might! We just want to know some things!" Izuku spoke in the wind that flapped his cheeks.

"Okay okay, just keep your eyes and mouths shut." All Might spoke to us. We held onto him while we sped through the air. I did take notice that he coughed and a small drip of blood came out of his mouth. Wonder why.

We soon landed on a building as my friend and I took a breath. "My life...just flashed before my eyes…" Izuku breathed.

I groaned as I sat up. "Uuuuuugh...my stomach doesn't approve of flying…"

"Stay here and knock on the door, and I'm sure someone will come and let you boys in the building." All Might told us as he started walking to the edge of the roof to jump again.

"Seriously? You drop us off here, now you're gonna ditch us?" I asked.

"No time to stop, I have my duties." He replied to us.

"Wait, we want to know something!" Izuku spoke up. "Is it possible for us to be heroes even if we don't have a quirk!?" All Might stopped by his question. "You see...we were born quirkless...but we both have a dream to be heroes...is it possible to amount to anything like you without powers?" While Izuku talked, I noticed a smoke cloud beginning to cover All Might's body.

When it cleared I blinked, but my friend had his head dipped. "Uh, Izuku…"

"Huh?" The boy blinked and looked at All Might. He gasped as we saw a skinny blonde man with blue eyes. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH! What happened to All Might!? You're not him! You're a fraud, an imposter!"

The man sighed. "I assure you both, I am All Might-guh!" He spoke as some blood dropped from his mouth, which scared Izuku.

"Are you alright, All Might?" I asked in alarm.

The deflated hero wiped his mouth. "Yeah, I'll be fine. As to why I look like this, it's like how a man at a pool flexes to look bigger. That's basically what I do, but other than that, this is what I look like 24/7." Izuku and I looked at each other before the man sat. "I'm counting on you both to keep your mouths shut. Don't go telling your friends or people online about it." We grew confused before he lifted his shirt, revealing a horrid scar look on his right side.

A grimace formed on my face. "Yeesh, that just looks painful."

"Painful, yes." All Might nodded. "Gross as well. I got this from a big fight 5 years ago. My respiratory system was completely damaged, and I lost most of my stomach. Took many stitches and time to recover."

"Five years ago? Was that from the battle of Toxic Chainsaw?" Izuku asked.

"Well, you know your stuff, kid." All Might spoke in slight amazement of his knowledge. "No, he got me pretty good at times, but he couldn't beat me. No, this battle was never made public. I had to keep it undercover to not scare the people of the city. They always see me as the symbol of peace, facing foes with my fearless smile. Truth is, I smile to hide the fear deep inside me. And thanks to this wound I have, I can only do hero work for 3 hours a day."

Three hours a day? Man that must've been hard for him to accept. "Do you ever regret what happened to you and wish you had avoided that battle?" I asked.

"Sometimes I do." All Might nodded. "However, it was a sacrifice I was willing to make. My opponent I fought was unlike any you would ever imagine. If I never stepped in, you two or many of the people around wouldn't be here today. While I wish I avoided the injury, It would've been a lot worse if I didn't step in."

I gave a small smile. "My grandfather used to say you could tell which civilizations were the most successful based on which leaders accepted the events of the past and used them to plan the future."

The deflated hero chuckled a bit. "Well, I can't really say I know everything about it one hundred percent, but I know my way around it at times." He studied me for a bit and continued. "You don't happen to be related to a geezer named Frederick Hisashi, do you?"

I blinked. "Yeah, he was my grandfather. How do you know him?"

All might chuckled a bit again. "In my younger days, I met him a few times at his excavations. He was a good man, always showed me a few of his finds."

"Yeah, he was always more than happy to show them off." I smiled and brushed my fingers to the gem around my neck. "This little gemstone was from his last digsite. He gave it to me for good luck."

"And a fine find he made." The man nodded. "How is your grandfather doing by the way?"

My smile faded. "He died...a year ago."

All Might gave me a small solemn frown. "I see. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. You grandfather was a great man."

"I appreciate that." I sighed and glanced to my friend. "So, about what Izuku tried to ask...is it possible for us to be superheroes without a quirk?"

The hero legend was quiet for a moment. "Heroes can do amazing things with quirks that are easily as powerful as them. With them, comes a responsibility and many use them for the good of the world. Can you two become a hero without a quirk...I'm sorry to say, but it's not possible."

Neither myself or Izuku said anything as the hero's words echoed in our heads. "I see…" I breathed.

All might got up and headed for the door. "If you two want to do something good for yourselves try being a police officer. It's not flashy like being heroes, but does good for society." He opened the door. "Listen, it's not bad to have a dream you two, just have those dreams be possible to reach." With that, he left and closed the door behind him.

"Well, that was...disappointing to hear…" I spoke.

I gazed at Izuku, who had a sad look on his face. "Guess All Might's right...we have no chance of being heroes without a quirk.."

The famous hero might have said it was impossible, but to be honest, in the world we live in anything is possible. "Perhaps, but that doesn't mean we have to give up on that dream."

My friend turned to me. "You...really think we can still be heroes...despite what All Might told us?"

"I do, it takes more than a quirk to be a good hero." I spoke. Izuku gazed at me for a moment before an explosion went off in the distance of the city. "What the hell was that?"

"A villain must be attacking the city." Izuku spoke.

I gazed at the rising smoke a smiled. "Hey, how about we watch some heroes up close and personal to cheer up?" The green haired boy thought for a second before a small smile formed and nodded. The two of us left the building not too long after and gathered at the sight where the action took place. However, when we saw what was happening, we saw muscle hero, Death arms and others facing the familiar sight of the slime villain that All might captured a while back. "What the? I thought All Might caught that guy."

It was when Izuku realized. "Those bottles...were in the pockets of his pants...when we grabbed them, they must have fallen out…" He cupped his mouth. "We did this…"

That didn't sit well with me. The villain had already been caught and then we ended up setting him free. I stared at the villian till I noticed something. "Izuku, is it just me or does he have someone hostage again?"

Izuku took a closer look before his eyes widened. "Oh no...that's…"

"GAAAAH!" The sound of a boy roared with explosions going off. "LET GO OF ME YOU SEWAGE BASTARD!"

To our surprise, the villain had taken Bakugou as his newest victim. As much of an asshole he was, it wasn't right for him to suffer from a problem we caused. "We need to help him, Izuku." Not even a second after I spoke, my friend run through the crowd, past the pro heroes and straight for the villain. "Man, wait for me!" I cried out and ran after him.

"No, you crazy kids! You'll get killed!" Death arms yelled to us. We ignored the hero and made a mad dash to our classmate.

"You two again!" The slime villain sneered at us. Not wanting us to get close, he lashed his slime tendrils at us. Izuku on his end avoided the attack, but...I got hit dead in the chest. I gasped in pain and was flung off my feet and into a wall. I did not expect behind me to be a piece of sharp wood, which impaled through my back and outward, but thankfully missed my heart. Course...that didn't make the pain any less intense. I clutched the giant splinter poking out of my chest as my breathing was labored and exroshiating. I coughed as blood flowed out of my mouth and down my chin. "God...dammit all…" I groaned weakly.

"ODIE!" I heard Izuku scream and ran back to me. "Odie…"

"Hahahaha! You shouldn't have turned your back, kid!" The slime villain laughed as he prepared another swipe with his tentacle. Seconds before it struck my friend, I mustered what strength I had left and pushed Izuku out of the way. The villain missed him and struck me again. "Hahahaha! Such waste!"

Before he could strike me a third time, Izuku got in front of me, arms out. "If you want him, you'll need to kill me first!" He yelled, tears streaming his face.

I groaned again. "There's nothing more you can do for me, Izuku. Just save Bakugou, he needs more help than me right now. He still has a chance of making it out of here. Go...NOW!" My friend gazed back at me, tears flowing through his eyes.

"I WON'T!" He yelled, surprising me a bit. He gazed to me, as he forced a teary smile. "Odie...I won't abandon you or Kacchan. I won't leave to let you both die."

"Then why are you still guarding me, go pull him free. If he stays in there too long he's a dead man." I groaned. "Get going!" Izuku nodded before running forward to the slime monster as he grabbed his bag and flung it. The material inside impacted his eye as he screeched, releasing Bakugou as the boy breathed deeply.

"Kacchan!" Izuku yelled and began clawing the slime.

Seeing Izuku attempt to free him made me sigh as I held my gem necklace with my blood covered hand. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. Looks like...I'm out of time."

Just as I was about to close my eyes and let death take me, something strange occurred. An eerie hum filled my head as a ripple of energy pulsed along my body. My skin was tingling as if being shocked while my heart rate quickened. There was a sudden spasm and I slid free of the splinter that had impaled me. Hmmm, perhaps that's not correct. More like the piece of wood phased through the rest of my body causing me to fall. I felt my chest where I had been stabbed and instead of finding a gaping hole I found nothing.

Over with the villain, Bakugou had managed to get a palm free and attempted to blast his captor. "Let me go you green bastard!" The boy shouted and released and explosive projectile. Sadly it wasn't aimed at the villain and came hurtling towards me.

I held my hands in front of me out of reflex. There was a wave of heat that passed over, but nothing else. Somehow the explosion had been absorbed into my hands as the tingling sensation in my body was amplified ten fold. "Wh-what's happening?!" I cried out in alarm. With my hands still pointed towards the villain, a new glow had started to form. It only took a few seconds to build before a beam of golden light shot back at and impacted the slime being. The villain screamed in pain as electricity coursed through him.

Izuku turned to me as his eyes widened and his mouth a gap. "O...Odie…?" Before my friend could move, the slime villain gurgled and erupted in an explosion of goo. Izuku, Bakugou and myself were knocked flying away as the alley was painted with what was left of him.

The audience around us and the pro heroes were gobsmacked by what they witnessed. In the crowd, All Might even saw what occurred and stood speechless. "How is this possible? They told me they had no quirks...yet this kid has one."

After releasing that beam, my body calmed down a bit. My body still felt like I was hooked up to a car battery and I kept twitching on the ground. "Ooooooow…" I groaned.

Not much happened after that. Despite us helping Bakugou, Izuku and I were scolded by Kamui woods and Death arms, saying our actions could have killed us, more to that on me. Bakugou on his end was being praised by the other heroes for his bravery and quirk, even some asking him to be their sidekick.

A couple of the heroes tried to help me up only to either get zapped on contact or have their hands pass right through me. They gave me bewildered looks as I tried to walk away. "Please, just let me go. I feel fine…"

"You're injured, young man. You need to be taken to the hospital." One hero spoke as he tried once more to put me on the stretcher.

I groaned and faced him. "But I'm not injured...anymore." The heroes and spectators gasped to see that the spot in my chest they all saw me get impaled through was completely normal.

This was very strange what my new abilities hold. I always thought I was quirkless….yet near death, a quirk of my own appeared and saved me. What the hell is going on? Even after seeing this, the heroes remained insistent that I go to the hospital as they tried yet again to grab me. "Let me go." I growled and started to run.

That was when the next weird thing happened to me. Before I could take a single step, my feet sank into the ground where I stood. The last thing I saw before my head went under were the looks of shock on the heroes' faces. A second later, I landed face first on my front porch.

My life was turning upside down. So many questions to answer, so much mystery to know. "...what the fuck is going on?" I grumbled to myself. This was only the beginning.
