AN: Hellos and welcome to the seventh chapter of Deku the Ajin! I just want to apologize for the fact that I haven't updated in a long time, and just want to say that I would be grateful if you guys didn't give up on this story.
*Ghost walks in front of camera, bowing his head, saying sorry.*
Anyways, I have decided to skip up to the USJ Incident, where things will be slightly from the canon, because I'll be introducing a new character to the mix. Also, I would like to apologize in advance for what is going to happen to Izuku. Also, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but if you guys want, I can rewrite the entire story, with some changes, because it's similar to the canon, the only difference is that Izuku has a second Quirk. Now -
Deku: Wait. W-what's going to happen to me!?
Oh. Izuku. I-I didn't notice you, also, don't worry, after all you're an Ajin in the story, so you have nothing to worry about. A-alright then, let's get this story going!
*Author ignores Izuku's demands, and walks in front of the camera.*
HERE WE GO!
Inside Class 1-A -
It has been a few days since the combat training, and a lot has passed by these few days. For starters, after a massive panic among the student-body, Iida was the only one who took charge, calming everyone down, so he was given the title of Class-Representative. Not only that, but Izuku has been training with Ghost, thinking up ways to use 'One-For-All', without injuring himself and relying on 'Ajin' too often. So far, he has only managed to keep the damage to a minimum, but wanted go beyond that.
He sat in his seat, looking over the notes had about his Quirk, 'Ajin'. So far, he had written down every small detail, every new discovery, even what Ghost does most of the time, but there was one thing he was still wondering about, even to this day. It was the material that is left behind every time he 'resets' and the material that Ghost was made out of.
Since the material was only visible to him, he called it -
"I.B.M?"
"GAH!"
He looked up, and his face lit up when it was close to Uraraka's, whose face was also red all of a sudden. As she backed away, she returned her gaze back to his notebook, still looking at the acronym she read. Not that she could be blamed, for the acronym was written in the center, underlined numerous times, and was surrounded by question-marks. She looked at Izuku, a somewhat expectant look on her face, to which he said,
"It stands for 'Invisible Black Matter'. It's the material Ghost is made out of."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It's just...I don't what exactly it is, all I know is that it's the material Ghost is made out of, and somewhat the reason I can do most of the things with my Quirk."
The more Izuku spoke about his Quirk, the more people came to listen, wondering if being an 'Ajin' truly meant if he was invincible. Uraraka looked at his notebook, and as she read through the many discoveries Izuku had made when testing with it, she found something that was baffling. She thought that she misread what a small text said, but she looked at it again, and looked at Izuku, who noticed what she was reading. The green-haired boy only laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.
He said,
"Yeah...I know..."
"B-But...how?"
People around them noticed that Uraraka was looking at Izuku with a look of disbelief, but then they had a similar look as well, when they heard her say,
"How is water. WATER. Ghost's weakness?"
"Y-you see..."
About 5 Years ago -
A ten-year-old Midoriya was standing inside his school, looking at the rain as it fell from the sky. The rain had started to pour down, but Izuku was the only one that remained inside the school, mentally scolding himself for not bringing an umbrella with him. But, as he looked at the rain, he then looked at his palm, and simply whispered,
"Ghost."
Then, black material formed behind him, his tall friend hunching over behind him. He turned around, and asked him,
"Ghost, do you mind standing over me as I walk back home?"
"No...problem..."
"Thank you!"
As Ghost hunched over, making sure that his body had covered most of Izuku's head, the young boy began to walk, with Ghost following him at the same pace. However, as soon as the two went out in the rain, Ghost stopped in his tracks, and Izuku began to feel rain coming down on him. He turned around, and froze, seeing that Ghost barely moved an inch, becoming nothing more but an intimidating-looking statue. He walked forward, and saw that Ghost didn't move back, or look down at him.
"Ghost...?"
"..."
Izuku wondered how this happened, and still felt the rain hitting his head.
Rain.
Izuku looked at the rain, and then back at Ghost. He muttered,
"Can it...?"
Present Day -
"Needless to say, that one of Ghost's weaknesses is water. I stayed beside him until the rain stopped, and I got sick because of that. After some time, I compared it to a cell-phone's signal, my connection with Ghost was hindered because of that. But, the chances of rain are hard to tell, and then there's the probability of someone having a water-based Quirk, so Ghost's main weakness is how fragile his head is for some reason."
"Wow...I didn't think that was - "
"So that fucking doll isn't as invincible as we thought."
Nearly everyone in the class turned to Bakugou, who was leaning back in his chair, looking at Izuku, or more clearly Ghost. Ghost had made himself visible, most likely doing so after he heard being called a 'doll'. He was about to attack the boy, but was stopped by Izuku. The green-haired boy shook his head, telling him that fighting Bakugou wasn't worth it, which caused Ghost to actually sulk. He then lowered his head, in which Izuku began to rub.
After receiving odd looks, he stated,
"I...actually can't explain this."
That was when Uraraka slowly walked up to Ghost, and began to pet him as well. She silently said,
"He's cute..."
At that moment, their teacher Aizawa entered the classroom, ignoring that two of his students were petting Ghost like some sort of pet. After the two stopped petting Ghost, with him disappearing as well, Aizawa told the class,
"Today you'll be doing some Rescue-Training. There'll be three instructors: All-Might, myself, and someone from the faculty. We'll be heading to one of the off-campus areas, so get ready."
Most of the class went with their costumes, but some of them didn't bring certain things that their costume included, thinking that it might not be useful for this kind of training. Izuku was one of these people, he wore his bodysuit, as well as his claws, but his voice-amplifier and cloak were back in the changing room. Most of the equipment he had were designed mainly to fight Villains, so he figured that he didn't need all of it, but his claws would come in handy for today's training. But, the more he thought about, Ghost would also be useful in the training as well. Ghost was capable of thinking for himself, he was near-indestructible, so he had a numerous amount of reasons to be helpful for today.
Anyways, as the class were now inside the bus, heading to wherever they were heading, some of them were in the middle of a conversation. The topic was about Quirks, which led to Tsuyu Asui, a girl with a 'Frog' Quirk, to look at Izuku, and state with her usual expression,
"You know, Midoriya-chan, your Quirk reminds me of someone, kero."
"Yeah, believe it or not, but it belonged to someone - "
"Hajime Hashimoto. A Villain, correct?"
The class looked at Iida, who looked at Izuku with a concerned expression, before turning their gaze at the green-haired boy, who moved in his seat uncomfortably. He only looked up to confirm Iida's accurate guess, but he really couldn't blame him. After learning that Iida came from a long line of Pro-Heroes, of course they would know about the 'Ajin' Quirk, and especially about Hajime. That was when Kirishima tried to cheer him up, telling him,
"D-don't get so down, Midoriya! Just because you have a Villain's Quirk, doesn't mean you're a - "
"I know I'm not a Villain. But 'Ajin', it's not the Quirk of a Villain. After all, look at Ghost."
Ghost then appeared before Izuku again, and for some reason, the class thought they saw Ghost tearing up, even without the help of tear-ducts, or actual eyeballs for that matter. But, it was still touching at how the Black Ghost rose his fist, in which his partner gave it a fist-bump, smiling confidently at him,
"I'll make something out of 'Ajin', doing more than what Hajime has ever done, with Ghost right beside me!"
"That's right...friend..."
While the two had their moment, Kirishima was in the background, crying manly tears. He said,
"That was probably the most manliest thing I've seen all day..."
Outside the Facility -
The class was standing right before the third member of the Rescue-Training, dressed in their costume that it was impossible what gender they were. The Pro-Hero was dressed in a white, incredibly-puffy costume, that made them look like some sort of astronaut. But, most of the class didn't need to wonder who this person was.
"Whoa! It's the Space Hero, 13!"
"13's one my favorite Heroes!"
That was when 13 had opened the doors leading inside the facility, and the class looked in awe at what was inside. The facility looked much bigger on the inside, resembling like some sort of amusement park. But, instead of attractions you would usually find, there were multiple areas, each one containing a diorama of some sort of disaster, like a destroyed city, and a stormy area as well.
"I created this facility so you could be prepared when facing different disasters! This is the 'Unforeseen Simulation Joint'! Or the U.S.J!"
The class simply thought:
Just like 'Universal Studios Japan'...
Then, the training finally began, but it didn't start off as originally planned. In the center of the building, a portal suddenly opened, with a small army of people coming out. There were two, special individuals that came out of it, giving off a disturbing aura from their appearances.
The first one, some sort of bird-humanoid monster, that was possibly as muscular as All-Might. It wore only tan pants, it's body being a purplish color with scars on both it's arms. But the most disturbing feature about it, was the eyes. They showed no emotion, no...anything in all that matter, it was giving the monster some puppet-like stare.
But it was the second one that really disturbed them. This one was a young male with white-hair, dressed in black clothing, but the most disturbing thing about this person was how there were multiple hands, with plugs where the forearm would be connected, clinging onto his arms. He also had a hand acting as some sort of mask for him, it was a disturbing sight to look at. Even though that the bird-monster looked more threatening than the young boy, the boy gave off some sort of tension that made them feel uneasy.
Aizawa's eyes widened in realization, stating,
"Stand back! Those are real Villains!"
The portal, which a small portion of which began to take a human-like form, actually spoke to the young boy,
"Only 13 and Eraser-Head are here. All-Might should've been here as well..."
"It's a shame, we brought so many friends to meet him. I wonder if he would play if I just killed some of his students?"
As the Villains started to walk forward, heading for the only exit from the facility, Aizawa placed his goggles on, and told 13,
"I need you to take the students, while I buy you some time."
"But you can't take them all on! Your fighting style is mostly for one-on-one and stealth."
"I wouldn't be a Pro-Hero if I only have one trick."
Then, he grabbed onto the wrappings around his neck, and proceeded to fight on the army of Villains below him. As that happened, the students began to follow 13, Izuku the only one staying behind, watching his homeroom teacher take on those Villains with concern and awe. Iida turned to look at him, and said,
"Midoriya! We have to go now!"
"R-right - ARRGGGHHHH!"
As the green haired-boy started to run with his class, he felt a pain so severe that it caused him to shout out in pain, gaining the attention of his classmates. His senses had suddenly became dull as he was slowly losing consciousness, hearing the echoes of his friends shouting. As he was about to succumb to the pain, there was only one shout that stood out from the others.
"IZUKU!"
U-Uraraka?
Ochako Uraraka's P.O.V -
As we were heading for the exit, my blood went cold as I heard Deku-kun scream in pain so suddenly. We turned around, and I had to cover my mouth with both hands from screaming. What we saw was so brutal, shocking, but most of all, confusing. Deku-kun was suspended in mid-air somehow, puncture marks were coming out of his costume, a dark-red substance slowly spreading all over his costume, he looked at what had stabbed him, but then he began to violently cough up blood.
Before we knew it, we were all shouting.
"MIDORIYA!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
"LET'S HELP HIM, DAMN IT!"
But, it was my voice that was probably the most loudest from the class. As I watched my friend - the one who practically saved me as a kid - die before my eyes, I dropped to my knees, and called out to him.
"IZUKU!"
As the light in his eyes finally died out, I lost it. I began to cry, tears falling out of my eyes as Izuku's body was just hovering in place, blood coming out of him. But, we began to hear someone, or something laughing as the space behind Izuku began to reveal itself. Most of the guys in the class were about to charge at it, ready to fight it, but as it revealed itself to us, they stopped, even more confused as we saw who actually stabbed Izuku from behind. I muttered,
"Ghost?"
I slowly stood up, making my way to him, only to be stopped by Iida, who told me,
"Uraraka! Listen to me! That isn't Ghost!"
"H-how can you be so sure?"
"Because Ghost looked like All-Might! This one doesn't!"
He was right.
The one who stabbed Izuku from behind was made from the I.B.M that Ghost was made out of, but that was the only thing that made it similar with Ghost. It's right-hand was larger than it's left-hand, the claws on it's hand were about the size of knives. It's left-hand did not have claws, almost looking like it was actually human. But it was the face that truly made it different, for on the right-side of it's head was a single horn that protruded outwards, and a maniacal-smile was on it's face.
It wasn't Ghost, but somewhat of a knockoff of Ghost. That was when we heard a voice spoke behind us.
"So he's here as well..."
Third P.O.V -
The class turned around, and saw that the one who created the portal was behind them all, the most eye-gaining characteristic about him was the armor that would be around his neck. But he didn't look at the students, for he was looking at the Black Ghost. The Black Ghost, who was still looking at Izuku's body with it's claws sticking out of his chest, looked at the person and simply waved hello, actually getting the man to shiver a bit in discomfort. It finally said, in a calm voice that was also threatening,
"Hey there...Kurogiri-kun..."
"So you're having your...pet, doing your errands?"
"I...am not...a pet. I...am a...black...ghost..."
"Fine, if you're here, then that means that he would be somewhere inside this facility."
"Right...there..."
It pointed at a single direction, in which the man, now known as Kurogiri, began to open a portal in which it began to walk through, with Izuku's body still on it's claw. Seeing that it was going to take away their friend, the class of 1-A went after it, but Kurogiri once again opened portals, separating most of them, heading into different zones of the USJ. The remaining students that weren't sucked away, looked at their foe with caution, while Uraraka was still looking at where the Black Ghost stood.
"What happened to you, Izuku?"
Izuku's P.O.V -
After getting stabbed, all I saw was nothing but pitch black, it was nothing new, but it still scared me, knowing that there's not much to see on the other side. But then again, it might be what an Ajin see every time they die. My senses were dulled dramatically, so I really couldn't understand what was going on, but then I felt something getting pulled out of my chest, and then my body hit something, probably the ground. A few minutes later, my eyes slowly opened again, and I noticed that was still inside the USJ.
I stood on my feet, only to stagger slightly, and felt Ghost grab onto my shoulder, helping me maintain my balance. I looked up to him, knowing that he was concern with my well-being, and asked him,
"Ghost...where are the others? And where are we?"
"Other...came and...attack..."
"Oh yeah, the Villains...and..."
I looked at my chest, and saw that the I.B.M began to peel off my body, and the wounds on my chest started to fade. As I looked at Ghost once again, I asked him,
"What stabbed me?"
"Another..."
"Another...? What do you mean?"
"Another...another...me. Another..."
I backed up, noticing that Ghost was suddenly turning around, his hands holding his head, losing his mind over something. I walked up to him slowly, making myself stand in front of him, and held his head, making him look only at me. I reassured him,
"Ghost, it's okay. It's - "
"Ain't this a nice surprise, ain't it?"
"Yes... it is..."
On instinct, the two of us took fighting stances, and looked at the two mysterious beings in front of us. But when we saw them, we only looked at the two in confusion and shock. One of them, was a Black Ghost, but the right side of it was completely scary-looking. It waved at me, with that demented smile on it's face, making me shudder a bit. Then there was an adult male, with brown hair and brown eyes, a calm smile on his face, possibly being the Ajin of that Black Ghost. He was dressed in a simple pair of dark-blue dress pants with black dress-shoes. On his upper-body, he had a black sweater, with the sleeves rolled up, and on his right hand, he had a glove that had claws on each finger, the tips being red like blood.
He looked at me, and what he said, shocked me,
"My name is Hajime Hashimoto. And this here is Haru."
AN: And that was -
*All Might, Inko, and Kacchan burst into the room, all varying with expressions aimed at the author.*
Kacchan: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?
O-okay, I admit, the ending seemed to be some sort of cliff-hanger, but I did say that a new character would be joining the story. That, and something happening would happen to Izuku...
*Uraraka is the next to come in, being restrained by Iida.*
Iida: Uraraka-san! Please, you have to remain -
Ochako: HOW CAN YOU DO IT!?
I know this is bad, but -
*All Might is angry, and is preparing to use One-For-All.*
All Might: DETROIT...
S-See ya - OH GOD!
