HankFlamion18: I'm sorry if the story seems a bit rushed. I not too good at putting in details. I will try to build up the story to the best of my abilities
Er kebbabaro: I'm basing this on the main series Megaman(more specifically Megaman 11) If you still are confused, watch a playthrough of the game.
Waffenmia:You have a point in saying that he shouldn't receive OFA. The main focus on the story is his megaman powers, so it would only be regarded as a boost up. So, He won't receive it. But I am keeping Midoriya's canon personality. So he can't ignore him or become an emotionless justice machine. Even Megaman shows emotion in his recent game. Basically, Megaman 11 explains everything you need to know about this. Last thing, you guessed right about the copy abilities, except the part where he can also copy some transformation and mutation quirks
PsychoNighmare: I will consider whether I put Mei in here, maybe having her try and take him apart. The problem is that I don't pay attention to much to her character.
And finally, I want to give an acknowledgment to Izuku1215, the author of the other MHA/Megaman fanfic. You should check out their story because it's very cool.
After Midoriya explained everything he knew so far about his new power, All Might was intrigued. The part about how it was from the future seemed crazy, but it was put to rest the second Midoriya showed the arm cannon.
"So what you're saying is that by using this technology, you will help save humanity from tragic disasters in the future?" He asked just to clarify.
"That's basically what the messages said. Judging by how he described it, it must have some functions that make it extremely useful in battle" Midoriya pondered as he looked at his weapon. From what he had seen so far, the power was not strong enough to battle with. The shit he fired at the villain only made it reel back, even when he hit it in a sensitive spot. The simple solution was to train it and find out more to it.
"Let me guess, you're thinking about training the that power of yours?" All Might suddenly asked. The fact he knew what he was thinking surprised him.
"How did you know?"
All Might dismissed it as just connecting the dots. That or there is the chance that he could read other people's minds.
"Listen, I'm going to make you an offer. I propose that I help you train that power of yours until you've got a good grasp on it" he suggested.
"Huh?WHAAAAT?!" Midoriya screamed in shock. Was there something wrong with his head or ears? There was no way that All Might, Number 1 Pro hero and Symbol of Peace, had just offer to train him. It had to be a dream or hallucination.
"Geez kid. No need to freak out over it" All Might said with a sweat drop.
"B-b-b-but w-w-why?"Midoriya asked, stuttering over every part of his sentence.
"Isn't it obvious? The man said that he sent that machine to help prevent conflicts and disasters that will happen. The fate of the world can be decided on how much you mastered the ability. As the Symbol of Peace, it's my duty to help keep society safe" He explained.
"Yeah, but still.I feel like I don't deserve this chance"
"Midoriya, it doesn't matter who does it as long as you get the proper training" All Might said with exasperation in his tone. "What's important is that you learn the necessary skills to protect society" After that bit a reassurance, his decision was immediate.
"Okay, I accept your training. I need to be learn how to improve my powers so I can rescue!"
"Great, we start tomorrow. Meet me at Dagoba beach at 5 a.m." All Might said with a grin. The two then walked away to go prepare for the next day. With Midoriya, his excitement level was off the charts. He was so close to exploding n euphoria. While he was fanboying, he failed to notice the small voice in his head say, [Solar charging completed, full suit available to deploy],
The next morning
When he woke up to the sound of his alarm going off, Midoriya looked around groggily. His entire room was so dark that no one could see anything. While that normally be the case, he found that he could see everything clearly.
Probably just another ability, he thought as he got off his bed. Within a few minutes, he brushed his teeth, change into a pair of clothes, and was currently eating breakfast. All those he did as silently as possible to avoid waking up his mother, whose soft snoring could be heard. After he finished eating, he quietly walked out of the apartment and began to jog towards his destination.
After about 10 minutes, Midoriya had just reached the beach where All Might asked him to meet. It was 3 miles away from his apartment. Normally, he would be completely winded and on the ground from just doing 1 mile. His body was never the athletic type as he mostly focused on writing notes rather than exercise. Even then, it would take about 10 minutes to complete it. But now, he didn't even feel exhausted at all. It was like he could run back and forth from his home before he even felt tired. Added to the fact how he was about three times faster to how he normally was, the physical boost was amazing. When he got a good look at the beach, he was surprised to see it completely covered in trash. Had All Might not told him it was a beach, he would of thought it was a junkyard. A few minutes later, All Might pulled up in an old pickup truck. He was shocked to see Midoriya there so early.
"Young Midoriya, how did you get here so early?" He asked. "I expected you to show up a couple of minutes after me, not before me" Midoriya simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe it has something to do with that power I got" he speculated. "I noticed how I was faster than normal when I ran"
"That's some boost for a piece of tech. Speaking of which, we should try seeing what you are capable of right now" All Might suggested. "Try using that cannon so we can gauge how strong it is". Midoriya nodded and willed the cannon to appear. In a flash of blue light, he saw that it had appeared as it had before. However, something new happened as well. A light blue suit had covered his entire body from his neck all the way down to his ankles. Over it were blue armor pieces on his arms, legs, and pelvis. They kinda resembled bulky gauntlets. As a finishing touch, a blue helmet with light blue blocks gutting from the top and the side of it. Both Midoriya and All Might were speechless to the sudden change.
"What the hell?!" They both yelled at the same time. The shock lasted for a few seconds before they calmed down.
"What's up with this suit? It didn't appear yesterday" Midoriya said as he began his signature muttering. "There has to be some sort of explanation. Maybe it has to do something with how long it's been with me, like if it needs a certain amount of time to form it to my size. Or it could have something to do with how much energy it needs which again has to do withtheamountoftimeIhadthissoithastohavesomewaytogatherenergyotherthanabatterysource,itcouldpossiblythefoodIeatorsolarpowerbutitdoesnthaveanyformofsolarpanels…" Slowly, his words blended into a heaped up pile of incoherent sounds. It was starting to freak All Might.
"Cut it out!" He yelled after it went on for a few minutes. That snapped Midoriya back to reality and he blushed after realizing what he did.
"Sorry, bad habit of mine" he said while scratching the back of his helmet. "I tend to mutter when I analyze something, it's become something I just do without thinking.
"Fine, back to the main issue. This suit could be a completed form or something, similar to how I change when I use my quirk. Maybe it could make your attacks stronger than last time"
Okay then, now to find a target, he thought to himself. He searched around for an object that was good for shooting at. His eyes fell on an old fridge on the sand. Bringing his arm up, he aimed and fired a shot at it. As he had seen before, a bullet made of energy shot out. When it hit, a small dent appeared.
"So a single shot is strong enough to put a dent in metal" All Might pondered impressively. On the other hand, Midoriya felt somewhat disappointed. He expected some more damage to be done. The shot wasn't that strong, so it had to have some upside. He tried thinking of some examples that could relate to his weapon. It could possibly work similarly to guns, they had some trade offs when it came to how they fire. Thinking about semi automatic guns, he readied his arm again, aiming at the lower half. This time, he fired a couple of shots in rapid succession. They all hit the same spot, making a dent bigger than the first one.
"Impressive, young Midoriya. You figured out how to identify the weaknesses and strengths of your abilities. That's one of the first steps to mastering any skill" All Might congratulated while clapping him on the back.
"The next step is to find different ways utilize it. A good way I found to train it was to try and visualize how it feels like when you use. Try making some image to help you understand". As he closed his eyes to concentrate, he tried remembering what it felt like when he fired off a shot. After a few seconds, he started talking.
"It felt like… firing a slingshot. When I prepared to fire, it was like I was pulling back the rubber band" he explained. All Might just stared at him with a questioning expression. A slingshot? Interesting example for power that is tech based.
"Okay, we'll use that example. Your rapid shot was like you pulling it back a small distance before firing. How about you try pulling it back more to get a more powerful shot" he suggested. As soon as the words left his mouth, Midoriya was already in firing position. He began charging his cannon for a few seconds. It was making a humming noise that sounded like it was from a game. After a few seconds, blue particles started swirling around his arm. He fired the shot towards the same fridge. This shot was a bit larger than a normal shot and it was green instead of yellow. Another difference was that the dent it made was bigger than the one caused by his rapid fire attack. Eager to test more, he started charging again. The same particles appeared after a bit, but he kept on going. After about 15 seconds, the particles changed from blue to yellow. He still kept charging to see if there was anymore levels. When nothing changed after a minute, he fired off the shot. This one was even bigger than the last and was blue. But the most shocking was the difference in power. The green shot made a dent the size of a head. The blue shot made a dent the size of a person. It even knocked the fridge over. Both Midoriya and All Might gawked at the damage.
"That's so cool!" Midoriya gushed as he glanced from his cannon to the fridge. "Who knows how strong it will be when I train it?"
"There you go. Now that we know what you can do right now, we can officially start your training" All Might said as he walked in front of Midoriya.
"So, how will training be like?" He asked curiously. The way All Might laughed to that made him a bit nervous. What really set the danger alert was when he change to his buff form
"For the next ten months, you will train your body to be further enhance your abilities and attend UA High. As for what your training is, you must clean this section of the beach" All Might said while stretching out his arms. Midoriya blinked a few times before he registered what he had heard.
"What?!" He shouted. It seemed a little bit too much for one person to clean all that up in ten months. On top of that, he was even given a work out that outlined exactly everything that he would do for the time being as well. Even his sleep was planned out.
"Isn't this..a bit too much?"
"IT MAY BE DIFFICULT, BUT IT'S NECESSARY TO BE PREPARED FOR UA! THIS ALSO HELPS YOU LEARN TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, AS VERY FEW HEROES DO THINGS THAT WON'T INCREASE THEIR FAME" All Might explained while flashing his signature grin. Midoriya looked from him to the schedule and put a strained smile.
"Yeah, I need to work twice as hard if I want to catch up". From the moment he said that line, ten months worth of hell would follow suit.
