Chapter one: Origins: Izuku Midoriya

Izuku's soul was crushed when the number one hero, all might told him he could never be a hero. Tears built up in his face and heart. However, he decided to let go of his dreams. Ka-chan, his own mother, and now the hero he looked up to the most, told him he couldn't become a hero. Not wanting to pity himself all day, he decided to head straight home.

Izuku took off his shoes and left them on the mat. He greeted his mother, Inko and went straight to his room. He tore down every poster of all might and action figures he ever collected. He was devastated. Tearing down the posters and figures was like killing a part of himself. Inko knocked on the door lightly.

"Izuku are you okay? I hear a lot of noise."

Izuku surprisingly responded in a casual tone despite what he was going through.

"I'm okay mom just doing some remodeling."

"Oh okay well I'm making katsudon for dinner," she responded in a cheerful tone. Katsudon was Izuku's favorite dish. Whenever he had a bad day, eating Katsudon cheered him up. It was almost like a good friend to Izuku.

Several minutes of tearing down everything related to all might was finally gone. He felt depressed, but thought to himself that it was for the better. He had no quirk, no superpowers or even a unique trait. In a world where 80% of the population had powers, people started to favor these powered beings over normal people. 20% of the population was left in the dust to fend for themselves. What was worse is that the quirkless were discriminated against all because they didn't have any cool abilities. Izuku was horrified at the thought but that didn't let him stop him from trying to live a good life. His dream of being a hero was over. However, he could still do good things. Being a police officer, while not the most glamorous, was an honor seeing how they protected and defended. This thought did put a smile on his face, despite the pain in his soul.

Inko called Izuku over

"Izuku!"

Izuku sprinted from his room into their tidy little kitchen.

"Yes, mom?" he responded.

"I don't have the ingredients necessary to complete the dish."

"I was wondering if you could go to the local store and fetch me some things?"

"Sure mom," Izuku responded.

After he received the list of ingredients. He headed to the store. He took an alleyway that leads to the main street where the store is. It cut time by at least 20 minutes. But it wasn't very clean with trash on the ground, a very strong scent that smelled like piss, and very shady entities that met here. Izuku enjoyed strolling along the path. Izuku would have crossed the path without inconvenience if it wasn't for what he heard

"Hey man, when does the job start?" asked a man.

There is another alleyway that leads to another part of the streets. Izuku hid behind a wall hoping he wouldn't get caught. He carefully listened to every word.

"Don't worry, man," a guy with a gun said, "We're going in tonight."

"Yeah, that's what I like to hear," the other man said.

Izuku couldn't believe what he had heard. He wanted to do something about it but he was quirkless. Even if he had a good quirk, he would be outnumbered. So Izuku decided to do nothing. He instead decided to call 911. Izuku reached for his pockets and pulled out his cellphone. Izuku's grip wasn't very firm, and the phone slipped out of his fingers and on to the ground. "Did you hear that?" responded the man getting out his gun.

"Yeah, someone's here," the man with the gun asked

Izuku stood frozen. After having a battle with his conscience, he made a gamble, so he made a sprint for it. He ran as fast as he could not look back. Sadly, one of the members caught and pinned him to the wall.

"How much did you hear brat?!" said of the men with a lot of hostility. The other man took the role of the watch out and made sure no one was looking.

"I didn't hear anything, please!" Izuku begged

"Then why did you make a run for it?!" he asked

"Because I saw guns and robbers and didn't want anything to do with it. It felt obvious to run."

The man with the gun laughed.

"So you think that my gun makes me dangerous?" he said as the gun in his hands started to burn.

"You see, kid, I have a melting quirk," the man explained.

"And now you're in for a world of hurt," the man slowly reached for Izuku's head. Izuku looked around for something he could use. He found a shard of glass. Izuku reached for it and stabbed his tormentor in the chest.

"You little shit!" exclaimed the man in pain.

Izuku sprinted as fast as he could again. But this time he made it out of the alley and into the main streets of Japan. Izuku walked fast so he wouldn't attract attention but still sped up to get away from his pursuers.

Izuku calmed down enough to get on with his day. A part of him wanted to go to the police, but the other part convinced him that the police and heroes would handle the situation

He arrived at the grocery store and looked for the ingredients. The clerk greeted him and Izuku politely greeted him back. Izuku spent 20 minutes looking for them before eventually finding them. He checked out at the counter and started to quickly make his way home because it was night time and his mother would probably start worrying about his sweet precious boy.

"Wow I have to admit the city looks very beautiful at night," Izuku said in astonishment. No one could blame him. The city was lit with bright colorful lights that radiated the streets and people casually talked. Heroes did also help maintain the peace which did put Izuku at peace. However, that soon changed when the screens on the buildings full of ads were interrupted by breaking news.

"We interrupt you with news of a hostage situation taking place," said the news reporter reporting behind the police and heroes. Izuku feels bad and chooses to watch it. However, as he closely watches the news, he notices that the situation is taking place at his apartment complex. Izuku's mental state had taken a crash. His mother was inside, trapped, scared for her life. Izuku dropped everything he had on his hands and rushed to the apartment to check on his mother.

Izuku had finally arrived at the complex. Despite his efforts to head inside the building, the officers just kept him from advancing. Until finally, he broke free and ran straight inside. There were heroes inside, dumb folded by Izuku springing towards the third floor. Halfway he stopped. He remembered something, all might.

"Do you think I can still become a hero, even without a quirk?" he asked the number one hero.

All might have locked eyes with the kid and his face turned sad for a moment.

"Sorry kid, I don't think you can become a hero without a quirk," he said with a genuinely sad face.

Izuku looked down at the ground.

"I-I see then," Izuku said with sadness in his face, but trying his best not to show it.

"It's dangerous work. We don't want people to get hurt ... or worse."

Izuku then starts bolting up the stairs once more.

"Screw you all might," he said

"I'm still gonna save my mom! With or without you."

Izuku was finally on the third floor and he could never prepare for what was next.

"Izuku run!" his mother screamed as he was being held hostage by an assailant.

"You!" Izuku screamed at the assailant. The assailant laughed.

"So kid we meet again."

"So if you live around this area, then this is karma for what you did to me." The man just couldn't stop laughing.

Izuku was terrified. He looked around to see if any hero was trying something. They didn't even try anything. Their faces looked uninterested. Izuku pondered. Why didn't they do anything? Why did he start feeling afraid? They should be heroes. They should inspire hope and a sense of protection. Izuku, however, knew he was on his own. If these heroes weren't gonna save his mother, he would.

"You're right," Izuku started speaking

"I stabbed you in the chest and ran."

The heroes, his mother, and the assailant were surprised.

"Furthermore," Izuku slowly started heading towards the man

"Your friends left you in the dust because of how bad your injury is."

"How do you know?! How in the hell could you have known that!?"

The heroes started actually getting serious about the job because of what Izuku was attempting.

"Because I know that feeling," said Izuku looking at the assailant and looking at his mother's eyes with his mother with pity.

"Let her go, and I'll let you kill me."

Inko's eyes widened as she muffled loudly. The assailant stood there for a second, but then, he chuckled loudly.

The heroes stood there without any idea of how to take care of the situation.

"I see what this is," the assailant said.

The man stood still for a moment, but then shot Inko in the heart.

"M-mother!"

The assailant laughed and shot Izuku in the shoulder. It was a bloody scene. Bloodstained carpets, people screaming, and Izuku holding her lifeless body.

"I-I'm sorry, mother!" Izuku cried

"I failed you."

Izuku felt warm because of blood dripping from his body. He felt so tired and comfortable he just lost consciousness. He was lying on a sea of darkness. No return. No one. Only nothing.

Author Notes:

This is my first ever fanfiction. This is my version if Deku was a villain. I love my hero academia, but sadly lack the resources to watch it fully. So I made sure to do my research on the characters, setting, and conflicts. Please don't spam in the comments. I tried to make the story's tone both light and dark, but I think I made it too light. What do you think? I would love to hear your criticisms thank you for taking the time to read. I hope it wasn't
