The Greatest Hero

Edit: This chapter was rewritten on 2/12/19

After RJ asked if he can become a hero as great as All Might, even though he has been behind his entire life, All Might begins to answer but starts coughing up blood and sizzling.

"You know I've always even doubted myself if I could become a hero in the first place since I was quirkless for twelve years. I always wanted to become a hero but everyone doubted that I could calling my quirk weak and a late bloomer. Have you ever doubted that you can become a Hero All Might?" asked RJ.

As RJ continued his life story he saw a skeleton-like figure submerged from smoke and started panicking. All Might all of a sudden was not muscular anymore and looked like an entirely different person.

"A-a-ll Might? What happened to you!?" said RJ.

All Might explains to RJ about his true form and what caused it. He showed him a huge scar that was on his stomach that he got from a fight with a villain that he was defeated by. The fight wasn't made public to keep the " The Symbol Of Peace" title alive. He then explained that he can only be a hero for three hours a day. All Might asked RJ to keep his secret to himself and began to answer his question.

" Young man anyone can be a hero with a quirk. It's a matter of how much you want to become a hero. Action speaks louder than words. You being behind everyone else is your own fault. You believe that yourself. You are holding yourself back by saying you're not good enough. As long as you work harder and faster than anyone else there's no doubt you will become a great hero. Now if you would excuse I must go now. Promise me you won't tell another living soul about my condition young man."

" I won't All Might and thanks for the advice. I'll put them into practice," said RJ confidentially smiling at All Might.

" You can do it!" said All Might giving RJ a thumbs up.

All Might walked downstairs of the building to leave with RJ still looking off into the sky on top of the building remembering what All Might told him. As All Might was walking downstairs he noticed the villain who he captured wasn't in his pocket anymore and heard an explosion from a nearby area in the city. All Might rushed to the explosion immediately.

" I have to work harder than everyone else to improve this quirk. I have to stop slacking off and accepting what people think about my goal to become a hero. No one ca..." said RJ before being interrupted by the explosion.

RJ still on top of the building saw the explosion and ran downstairs to tell All Might about it but realized that he forgot that All Might was at his limit. Knowing this he rushed down to the explosion to see if he can find some other pro heroes to help while on the way there.

" Hey are there any pro heroes around? An explosion just happened like three blocks down!" asked RJ to a woman with her children.

" I think all the pro heroes are already over there. A lot of people went to go see what happened," said the woman.

RJ quickly ran to the explosions to watch the pro heroes in action but not a lot of action was happening. At the scene of the explosions pro heroes were trying to save Bakugo who somehow got captured by the slime villain who escaped. All Might arrived at the scene at the same time as RJ scolding himself for wasting the little time he had and now being unable to do anything. The crowd of civilians were questioning why weren't the pro heroes doing anything and where was All Might.

" Hey why aren't the heroes doing anything. That hostage can be killed at any moment," asked RJ looking at the slime villain rampaging and the pro heroes staying back.

" That's what we're trying to figure out too," said one of the civilians.

' Wait this is my fault. The advice All Might gave me was common knowledge and he wasted his time giving it to me. All Might is at his limit. I need to do something to help,' thought RJ to himself.

When RJ realized who was being attacked by the sludge villain, Bakugo, he rushed in without thought with the pro heroes and All Might in shock. RJ rushed in only thinking of saving Bakugo.

" Hey kid! What are you doing!?" said the pro heroes trying to stop RJ.

RJ quickly dodged one of the slime villains attack by sliding and threw a water shuriken at the the villain's eye stunning him.

" What the fuck are you doing! Are trying to die!?" screamed Bakugo being suffocated by the villain.

" Grab my hand!" screamed RJ reaching out to Bakugo.

Bakugo grabbed RJ hand and he started to pull Bakugo out of the sludge villain. Bakugo almost slipped out but the sludge villain recovered from the attack to his eye and attacked RJ and Bakugo but All Might intervened. All Might, inspired by RJ's bravery, used the little strength he had left over and attacked the villain!

"Detroit Smash!"

All Might blew the villain away saving Bakugo and RJ in the process as well. All the civilians and heroes cheered on All Might as he saved the day once again. The pro heroes were talking to RJ and Bakugo who were still shooken up from the attack.

" Your movement and reflexes are incredible, but you almost got yourself killed pulling off that stunt!" said Death Arms.

" I'm sorry. I just wanted to be a hero," said RJ still mad at himself for letting the situation happen.

" Just leave it to the professionals next time young man. You're not ready to be a hero just yet at your age."

RJ headed home still mad at himself for the situation he created and Bakugo was running after him from behind.

" RJ! I didn't ask for your help! I was fine on my own. If you think I owe you my life or something forget about! Don't look down on me! Tch," said Bakugo.

" Uh... OK?" said RJ continuing to walk back home.

" Don't look down at me since you finally got that quirk of yours!"

As RJ was turning around the corner All Might came from around the corner at lightning speed. All Might wanteed to talk to RJ as he didn't get the chance earlier because of the media.

" I am here!" said All Might.

" All Might!? What are you doing here? How did you even know I was here?" questioned RJ.

"That was easy. You know why? Because I am All Mi…" said All Might who turned into his normal form spitting out blood.

"Young Man I've come with thanks and a suggestion. Your actions caused me to act. You made the difference in that situation something a pro hero like myself should be embarrassed about. You did something many top heroes have done before. Moving before they could think in order the save someone and doing the best they can to turn the situation in their favor. I'm sorry I didn't ask earlier but what is your name?" asked All Might.

" Jamal Hill, but everyone calls me RJ," said RJ.

"Young man you can't just only become a hero. You can become the Greatest Hero." said All Might to a teary-eyed RJ.

If you are still reading this story thank you. This is my first fanfiction that I am writing and would gladly take some critism and questions about the future of this story. The story right now is following the same story of the original's but it will start to change when the new characters of Class 1A are introduced. There are nine returning characters of the Class 1A cast and eleven, including RJ, new characters such as Nejire Hado, Pony, Kendo, etc. Chapters will be longer once we get to the Entrance Exam Arc. Hope you all stay to read up until then. There will also be 100% original story chapters. I don't want this to just be a complete retelling of the story. Once again thank you.
