A/N: Alrighty, I said I would continue this story if it got enough love so guess what? I'm moving on forward. Updating for this story is simple, when a chapter is done it'll be posted. That's all I got for an announcement here so On to the story!
I do not own My Hero Academia or Dragon Ball.
"You too can become a hero." Six simple words. Six words that meant the world to me. Six words that changed my life forever, not so much as the next ones though.
"You are worth to inherit my power," All Might says looking at me.
'In-inherit?'
"W-w-what?! H-how?!" I exclaim.
All Might laughs, coughing up a little blood in the process.
"You should see your face right now! My power is like a sacred torch, passed down from person to person, getting stronger after each one. It's the strength of all those who held it before me combined. I won't force you to accept though." All Might states with a grin.
"I accept!" I say before I realise it.
"There's the answer I was looking for! Meet me this weekend at Dagobah Municipal Beach early in the morning!" He says excitedly. "Oh and here's my number, if you have anymore questions."
I hesitantly take the number, still unable to process everything that has happened. All Might leaves with a wave and I head home, number in hand. I save his number on the way home when I remember the strangers number in my pocket. Pulling out my phone again I send him a text.
M: Hey? Stranger?
S: Midoriya correct? The guy who I caught?
M: Yeah…. Thats me.
S: Good to hear from you, I take it everything went well?
M: More than you know!
S: Ah, so you accepted.
I freeze for a moment, did he know about All Mights secret?
M: What do you mean?
S: All Might offered you his quirk right?
He does.
M: How did you know that?!
S: My quirk. Remember? I can see your destiny.
M: Oh….. yeah.
S: Anyway, it's getting late right now so if you have anymore questions meet me at the Hungry Hound cafe tomorrow after school ok? I'll send you the address.
M: Ok, I never got your name by the way.
S: Son Kombu, just son is fine.
M: Ok see you tomorrow!
I wanna know more about this guy, should I ask him more questions? No, he said he'll answer my questions tomorrow. Still though, I can't help but feel like I owe him. He did save me after all. Looking up I noticed the street lights began to flicker on and I hurried home before mom gets anymore worried.
Midoriya's House:
I didn't realise it was this late, this is bad. Mom has to be worried sick about me. I quickly make my way up the steps and slip into the house.
"I'm home!" I say slightly louder than normal.
"My Baby! Are you ok!?" She practically shouts while checking me all over for signs of harm.
"I'm fine, really," I say gently grabbing her hands and looking her in the eye, "I promise."
"O-ok, I was just so worried when you didn't come home, and then I saw the news and you still didn't come home and I thought….." She continues on for a while.
Is this what it's like on the other end of my mumbling?
"Mom, I'm ok." I say snapping her out of it.
She looks at more for a second with ready eyes before giving me a shaky smile.
"Yeah, you are," she says before brightening up more, "there's Katsudon in the kitchen!"
I don't even respond but instead bolt off to the kitchen.
Next day
Hungry hound cafe, it's actually surprisingly close to the school which is lucky for me. On the outside it seems like a regular old cafe but inside it looks like a gourmet restaurant. 'I-I can't pay to eat here!' I think.
"Hiya! How are you today?" A young lady with brown hair exclaims, menu in hand.
"I-I-I'm ok! I'm h-here to meet someone!" I panic, she was just too close.
"Ok, name of the reservation?" She asks.
"Son Konbu." I say.
She smiles even brighter.
"So your the boy my son made friends with!" She exclaims, "I'm Sasha."
"It's nice to meet you!" I say bowing quickly.
"It's nice to meet you too kid! Let me go get that boy from the kitchen, take a seat over there in that booth so you two can talk and take this menu to look over!" She says while shoving me, menu in hand towards a booth.
The decor of the room are dark, cozy colors like brown, red that looks like the burning embers of a fire. The booth I'm sitting in is made of a dark room with a glossy finish, everything just feels. Expensive. Taking a look at the menu I notice the items seem to be a decent price, I expected the stuff to be high priced with the look of the place.
"Midoryia." Son says sitting across from me at the booth.
He's wearing a white chef coat with several plastic spoons in the pocket and a pen tucked behind his ear.
Of course sense he snuck up on me I muffle a shriek.
"G-good to see you Ko- Son." I say.
His mother comes back with two glasses of water and a bread plate.
"It's on the house before you say anything, we focus mainly on American style food but dad can cook pretty much anything you want so just ask for something you like." He says waving a dismissive hand.
"O-ok," I say.
Looking back over the menu, and upon recommendation from his mom I order a salmon over a bed of rice.
"You said this was a cafe, but it feels more like a high end restaurant." I say leaning back to appreciate the decor more.
"My dad always wanted a restaurant where people who didn't have as much money as rich people could experience high end food, we even open the place for homeless people two days a week." He says.
"That's awesome!" I say, "is his quirk like lunch rushes?"
"No, my dad is quirkless." He states.
"O-oh."
"Don't worry about it, I'm the only saiyan with a quirk." He states sipping his water.
"What's a…. saiyan?" I ask dumbly.
"An alien race that arrived on earth hundreds of years ago, yes I am part alien." He says holding his hand up.
I nearly choked on my drink before sputtering out an apology then asking more questions with renewed vigor.
"Alien? How did the world not know about this!?" I ask.
"Grandpa Goku generally stayed out of the spotlight, and saiyans have the same looks as humans except for the jet black hair and eyes." He says while pointing to his face, "that said, we never quite remained hidden, we had to use the dragon balls several times to maintain this privacy."
"T-t-that's…..amazing! Are those other powers a result of you being saiyan? What other special abilities do you have? Does this mean there are other passive abilities we don't know about? Maybe they only-"
"Midoryia." Son states.
"S-sorry."
"Anyway no, being saiyan does not mean that I am the only one with access to these powers. I told you yesterday that anyone can use them. Saiyans are a warrior race so we have a natural ability to use it, this also means that we are naturally stronger than humans." He explains.
"C-can I use them?!" I ask suddenly very excited.
"Not if you plan on getting a quirk." He says deadpan.
I look at him confused for a few seconds before he continues.
"All Might's quirk will require all of your ki reserves for it to be active, if you try to use it for anything else the consequences could be dire." Son states simply.
"Doesn't your quirk require you to us this Ki then?" I say.
"Yes, but the amount it uses is nothing compared to my ki store." Son says.
"Here's your salmon kid," A tall buff man with jet black hair and an easy smile on his face says as he sets my food down on the table.
"T-thank you!" I exclaim.
The tall man walks back to the kitchen leaving the pair alone once again.
"That was my father, don't worry though he wouldn't hurt a fly." Son says.
"It honestly looked like he could rip me apart with one hand." I say nervously.
"He could easily," Son says sipping his water.
"Just how strong are you guys?" I ask.
Son is quiet for a moment, he then pulls a Matt black stick from his back pocket.
"This is my medicine, if I were to not take it my saiyan side would destroy the human side." He says.
"H-how do you take it?" I ask.
"It's like a vape/inhaler, anytime I feel myself losing control I just breath it in." He says.
"Do all of you need one of those?" I ask.
Son winces a bit at this question.
"No….. I'm a bit of a rarity, I'm the strongest sayain that's been born in decades. Because of this the sayain instincts want to come out and destroy the weaker human part of me. The medicine lowers my power but keeps me in check." He says breathing in the vapor.
"What exactly would happen if you didn't use it?" I ask.
Son ponders this for a moment before answering.
"I have no clue, I could lose control and die from the human side of me being exterminated, I could destroy most of the city before all might could stop me, hell if I lost control and went to the other side of the planet I could destroy an entire country before someone strong enough arrived to take me down. Death would be the best and most likely option however." Son states.
I ponder what sons told me to this point, him and his family could easily be hero's if they wanted. Their strength is amazing considering they have no quirk.
"Before you ask, we decided long ago we would not be hero's. The only time we step in is when the earth is in danger." Son states.
"Why is that?" I ask.
A smile spreads across sons face.
"To answer that question, I must tell you the story of the first sayain to arrive on earth. He was just a baby when he arrived but he would grow to become the savior of the universe. His name, was son goku."
Hours later and after izuku had his fill of never ending questions answered he left the cafe. Never before would he have though humanity had been through so much, including a mass extinction! Every time goku prevailed however. Goku would have been a better hero than all might if he was alive today.
Looking up towards the sky and picturing the amazing fights that happened so many years ago, izuku couldn't help but feel inspired to be the best he could be. He quickly texted all might.
I: Hey All Might! It's izuku, when would you like to start training?
A: Ahh Young Midoriya, I thought you would never ask. Meet me a dagoba beach at 4 sharp! Bring athletic wear and determination! And make sure to eat breakfast! Cause your gonna go PLUS ULTRA!
I: YES SIR!
Izuku was trembling with fanboy emotions and excitement, 'ohmygodijusttextedallmightandheansweredandimgonnatrainwithhimtomorrow!' He exclaim led inside his head as he practically ran home.
A/N:
Hey readers! It's been tough writing lately with school and the lot but with the COVID-19 virus shutting down a lot of schools I finally have time to write. Unfortunately it's not easy still as I have no internet at the moment to write and upload via desktop and with restaurants closing their doors I can't sit in and write while I eat. But I've been rather depressed lately and writing always helps me lift my spirits! I won't bore you with the details of my life but I'm in a bit of a slump so please don't be surprised if I go a long time without updating. If you need me to explain my situation further then ask me. But I will upload chapters the only draw back is that I do not know when the chapters will get out; only that they will get out eventually.
Anyway later fellas-Orion
