A.N. Alright we're back to the world that start it all. The Prohibited Power by Griffin Strange. Please enjoy as I reopen this restaurant of sorts. I'm sure some of you will get what I'm referencing and if not oh well.
Be warned we might have some possible out of character moments with Dabi but hopefully its not a complete overhaul. ... Ba dum dass. okay terrible joke aside enjoy the reaction to chapter 5 and please fav, follow and review.
"Okay so Eri, we know this might be a little scary but none of the people in this room is going to hurt you, no matter how scary they look." Flare told the little girl. "So we're going to ask if which of them you want to sit with when we start watching the show." Flare asked. The little white haired angel glanced at audience taking a good look at several of them. Some of them looked really funny and weird while others were downright scary. However she had gotten somewhat used to Gregar and Treble and realized that just because they looked scary didn't mean they were bad. She glanced at the tall boy with black hair and the scarred skin; he danced funny so maybe he would be fun to be around despite his scary appearance. Another one was the very big man in yellow with the big grin on his face. Something about him just felt nice and safe. Finally the last person she saw was the boy with white and red hair, who also had scarred skin around his left eye. Eri whispered her choices into the ears of Gregar and Flare. The duo seemed to share a big grin on they explained Eri's choices while Amme covered the girl's ears once more.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT." Endeavour practically screamed, only to be immediately muzzled by the bindings that lay around the room.
"I'm afraid you don't have say in the matter." Gregar retorted.
"It's best to listen to them Endeavour but I assure I will make sure no harm comes to son." Fatgum said as he tried to console the fire hero.
Shoto didn't say anything, opting to just walk over to where Eri was standing. He introduced himself as he extended a hand out to greet her with a very polite monotone. The little girl just stared at him confused. Dabi immediately pulled Shoto back. "I swear you know nothing about children." The older male said as he turned to Eri. "Hey squirt. My name is Dabi, spell D-A-B-I as in D for doggy, A for apple, B for birdy and I for ice." The cremation user introduced with a rather silly sounding voice. He knew he looked ridiculous but considering how important this child was apparently if he made a good impression on her then she might take a liking to him. It's not like this was the most embarrassing thing that happened in this theatre.
"Da-bee." Eri said softly. The cremation user gave her a thumbs up.
Several of the League members and the students of U.A. were trying to hold back there reactions. Toga and some of the girls wanted to gush over how Dabi acted with Eri, bit while Toga was more expressive about it; the U.A. girls tried their best to look unfazed. As for the boys and the other villains, Shigaraki and Twice were doing their best to try and muffle their laughter while the U.A. boys who had met Dabi were just stunned silent. Even some of the heroes didn't know what to say. Dabi merely turned to Shoto and then gave him a light shove forward. "Try again." The older boy ordered.
"Hello." Shoto said this time trying to put more emotion into his voice. "I am Shoto. That's spelt S-H-O-T-O as in S for sunny, H for hot, O for…onion, T for tomato and O for….Octupus." The Todoroki boy reintroduced himself. The reaction from the girls were more expressive this time as they gushed over Todoroki's cute introduction to the little girl while some of the boys felt more annoyed by the girl's more expressive fawning of the half and half wielder.
"Okay so now that's settle let's watch the show." Gregar said.
"But wait I didn't even get to introduce myself." Fatgum exclaimed.
"We're letting the reviewers decided that if they even take not of this." Flare explained.
"The what?"
"Moving on." Flare said as she snapped her fingers and re-adjusted everyone into their seats as the screen lit up.
"And it worked ? He couldn't use his quirk ?"
"No Sensei, Katsuki couldn't do anything ! He looked so lost ... in fact I only used All for One for about ten seconds, I think after that Katsuki was too scared to use his quirk correctly, thank you really !"
"So we're starting after the battle trials." Kirshima stated, "Alright then."
"Hahaha, I'm so proud of my student, tell me, how does it feel to win ?"
"To win ? ... I'm not- ... I should be satisfied but I'm not, I won the exercise yes ... but there were so much possibilities, we could have won without even fighting Katsuki. And in the end I still managed to pick the one plan in which I risked losing"
"Then tell me why ? Why did you do that ?" Sensei knew exactly why, he was forcing Izuku to tell him the reason so that he would be more confident.
"... I had to defeat him, once ... to prove them wrong, to show them that I could become a hero even if I was quirkless, to the students, to Katsuki, to All Might ... to Ochaco"
Ochaco immediately blushed as she heard the other Izuku talk about her. She didn't dare look up as she knew most if not all the girls were looking at her and Izuku. Izuku himself wasn't any less red than her.
"Ah yes ! Your new friend, how is she ?"
"... you mean ... how how ?"
"Well, how are you progressing with her ?"
"Progressing ? ... it's hard, I'm always scared of being weird in front of her or to be some kind of burden ... I know I never had much friends and maybe I'm over exaggerating ... I'm scared of doing things too quickly"
"HAHAHAHA ... You didn't take her on a date yet ?"
"Wait so the big boss is on board with the ship now." Toga exclaimed. "Awesome."
"... no ?"
"You haven't eaten your lunch together ?"
"Only for the entrance exam"
"You didn't do any sort of hangout with her ?"
"No"
"Then you are fine ... oh last question, you two aren't permanently texting each other ? I heard this generation keeps doing that"
"It will always be weird seeing you talk to Izuku like that." Nana commented. "Like seriously the idea of you even having that kind of conversations is like the most impossible thing in my mind." The 7th user explained.
"Believe me he's got a lot of practice on all the wrong things to do with a girl." One for All added.
"So did you if recall." All for One countered.
"Did you ever have these kinds of talks with Shigaraki?" Inko asked curiously.
"No he was always so dense about it and it's not like he had much socializing with how he grew up." All for One admitted.
"Perhaps maybe in our world but it sure seems like he got close to that girl, Vee, from the world we saw before." Nana interjected.
"No we aren't into that really, or else what could we tell each other during the day ?" Izuku's phone rang, it was his mom asking him where he was "I should probably go, thank you again Sensei"
"Those techniques belongs to you now, don't give me all the credits … well I- … yes tonight we won't be doing anything, you have to rest, enjoy your victory"
"Thank you" Izuku bowed at Sensei before running toward his apartment, he was already very late.
"… please be careful"
Ten years ago … day of the incident.
"I swear we are always seeing flashbacks in the world." Mineta complained.
"Perhaps it is for the best." Tokoyami countered. "Most of the other Izuku's have had their journeys start a few months before U.A. with similar startups…the slime villain. This version has no such inciting incident. So learning about him from the flashbacks might be for the best."
Izuku remembers, he always do ... on that day most of the kids he knew received their quirks ... wings, extensible fingers ... explosion.
He didn't get anything ... he went to see the doctor the other day, everyone did ... it's not like the said doctor kept the fact that Izuku was quirkless for himself. Nooooo ...
He shared it with all his family, including his grandson ... maybe he thought that nothing special would happen ? Yes he was innocent like most of the people who made his life a hell.
But Izuku had a very different theory ... he also remembers very well how the "doctor" if he even deserves this title, announced to Izuku and his mother that he was quirkless ... just because he had an extra bone in his foot, he didn't try to look further and ohhh how wrong he was Izuku was "gifted" with the most powerful quirk in the world, and probably the most feared ...
"Powerful maybe, but there are a few quirks I can think of that are more terrifying than AFO." One for All said. He recalled very vividly some memories of two special individuals whose quirks were very powerful. One of them being his idol and the other…he didn't like to think much about the other.
When the doctor announced that he was quirkless he didn't try either to not hurt Izuku, the first things... and almost only things that he said were "you should give up" and "dream stays dream" ... he almost pushed him and his mother out of his office as if they weren't worth his time.
Did you know that when someone receives a quirk their doctor can decide to keep them under observation ? They could "convene" them for a bunch of appointments? ... considering he had a full kindergarten of children it must represent a lot of money right? No need to explain further Izuku's theory at this point.
"That's wrong on so many levels." Ochaco said.
Anyway, most of the kids he knew had received their quirks ... during the afternoon most of them went to play at the park. Izuku was here with Katzuki and a bunch of other kid ... Katsuki was already experimenting with his quirk, just like everyone ... but his test subjects happened to be other kids, it's not like there wasn't any adult around, they simply weren't paying attention. Katsuki and a groupe of other kid that decided to follow him as some kind of leader kept attacking a young boy with an extensible tongue quirk, he couldn't defend himself. Something was wrong with Katuski, he wanted to be a hero so why was he attacking someone weaker than him ? He was laughing, did he find this fun ? Did he find this as fun as how he suddenly turned his back on Izuku because he was quirkless ?
Izuku stepped between them ... he didn't know what he was doing, he didn't know because his legs acted on their own and he didn't know what would happen to him either.
"K-kacchan stop ! You are hurting him !" Tears were already running down his face as he spoke ... he knew he couldn't do a thing, he just hoped for a miracle at this point, but what kind of miracle ? This world gave power to those who didn't deserve any ...
"If I had my way then this world wouldn't have any powers." Chisaki thought having regained consciousness. The Yakuza was not as powerful as once was because so many heroes and villains ran rampant in the world. Had they been without their precious quirks the Yakuza would have been on top.
"What do you think you can do Izuku ?! Get out of my way ! Now !" Katsuki gave a warning punch toward Izuku, creating a small explosion in the process, it wouldn't hurt Izuku but he was more scared than ever now ...
But still "N-no, what you are doing is wrong"
"I'll give it to the kid. He was hero material even back then. It truly is commendable how much he has stayed true to the name." Stain thought. The boy really should have met Knuckle Duster at least with him, he would become a true quirkless hero.
"Move you- ... Damn it !" Something disturbed Katsuki ... Izuku looked behind him, the other mid ran away "you are gonna pay for that !"
Before Izuku could do anything the other kids with Katsuki were holding him, he struggled but it was useless ...
"Don't move alright ? I don't want to miss your face !" Katsuki's hand were sparkling with small explosions, he was approaching his hand from Izuku's face.
"N-no p-please" he struggled even harder "N-NO !" His right arm was free, he grabbed Katsuki's hand to push it away and then- ... he doesn't remember what happened ... something came out from his left hand, this is the last thing he remembers.
Everyone covered their ears as they heard the loud explosion blast through the speakers. Bakugo's blasts were usually loud but seeing as they just watched it from a kid Izuku's point blank perspective, the volume really cranked up.
When he woke up he was in his apartment, resting on the couch, his mother next to him had tears running down her checks ... it hurts everywhere, it burned in fact, but what gad hurt him the most was his left arm, just what happened at the park ?
"Either he didn't gain the quirk factor or the transfer was incomplete." Momo theorized.
"M-my baby Izuku !" She hugged him, despite his physical state.
"M-mom what happened ?" he whispered weakly
"Ka- ... Katsuki's quirk became uncontrollable and you were caught into an explosion" ... no ... it's not what happened, he didn't see it but considering the situation he was in it couldn't be his quirk becoming uncontrollable.
"M-mom ... d-did I make Katsuki do that ?" He felt guilt ... what if he hurt the other children when he tried to defend himself ? What if it was his fault? Izuku tried to stand up but he could only sit on the couch.
"Izuku ! Don't try to do anything reckless, the doctor said that-"
"The doctor is wrong ..."
...
"What ?"
"Mom ... I have a quirk"
Present day.
For once Izuku manage to get up at a decent hour, and reach U.A. without any complication. Maybe this would be a normal day for once ? Ochaco didn't show up on the way to U.A. Izuku assumed she was already in the classroom and he was right, he found her talking with another girl, he couldn't manage to remember her name but he knew she had some kind of mutation quirk, a frog quirk?
"Good morning Ochaco" he said as he sat next to her.
"Hi Izuku ! You look great today, you slept well?"
"I did, I enjoyed our victory from yesterday as you said and-"
"Midoriya !" Called the very recognisable voice of Tenya, as he rest Izuku's notebook on his desk, "Thank you for letting me take a look at your work ! It really helped me and I must say what you wrote is very remarkable !" Everything with Tenya seemed over exaggerated, he was always trying to be respectful and strict.
"I'm glad it helped you" Izuku actually found rude that Tenya interrupted his conversation but he wasn't a bad person so he could forgive him.
After that Tenya walked straight to his desk and sat down.
...
Izuku turned around to look at Ochaco ...
"W-well in fact I don't have anything else to say ..." he admitted
"Haha that's okay ... we didn't receive any timetable for today, that's odd-" Ochaco stopped immediately when she spotted Aizawa entering inside the classroom, everyone did.
"Well, looks like you are getting used to how it works here ... anyway, today you are going to choose your class representative ... I don't care how you do it, just avoid making too much noise" Aizawa took out a sleeping bag from under his desk and casually took a nap in front of everyone.
"Oh great…school politics." Shigaraki groaned. "Can we please skip this?" The decayed user asked.
"No"
...
"Fine ! We should choose our representatives with a vote !" Declared Tenya standing up from his desk.
"That's obvious but ... we barely know each other, and once we have picked our representatives it's not like we might be able to change so easily" debated Izuku
"Izuku is right ... how are we supposed to vote for people we barely know ?" Followed Ochaco.
"Simple, we will vote but we will add one more rule, no one can vote for themselves ..." proposed Momo Yaoyorozu. The students didn't understand the goal behind this proposition.
"H-hey mind explaining ?" Asked Kirishima
"If we vote right now everyone will either not vote or vote for themselves, most likely, so if we impose this rule we might end up getting a class representative that most of the students acknowledge" she explained.
...
"S-so ... are we voting now then?" asked Ochaco, to break the awkward silence.
"Yes, anyone has a few sheets of paper ?" Asked Tenya.
The day of the incident.
Izuku's mom was in the kitchen, trying to do everything in her power to keep her son safe, when Mitsuki called her she felt her world shattering. Now Izuku was barely awake and rambling about having a quirk, about being responsible ... he felt responsible for hurting his friends ... it was already hard for him to live without a quirk and-
"M-mom !" She heard his son yell from the living room. Inko dropped what she currently had in her hand and when she stepped in the living room she saw Izuku staring at his hands ... his hands were emitting red lightings, they were glowing.
"I-Izuku ! You have-YOU HAVE A QUIRK ! MY BABY I'M SO HAPPY-" Inko grabbed her child into her arms, but as she did something hurt her, in her back, it felt like being stab repeatedly ... and then she felt exhausted ... she collapsed on the ground and ... nothing ...
"You know how to control it." One for All whispered to his brother. "I remember we used to rotate the quirks in the team before, sometimes mixing and combining them to get the right power for the situation. You could transfer them without causing pain."
"That may be true, but don't forget I had practice. What we are seeing is Izuku discovering his power on the day itself. If I recall correctly we had less than ideal company when I discovered my quirk but Izuku only has Inko so this might not be so pretty." AFO answered.
...
Izuku didn't understand what happened, his mom was laying on the ground, unconscious, her arms still around his little body. Both of his hands were boiling, the weird red light was gone but the pain was still here. The table, he had to use the table to stand up, he reached out for it but it was too far ... if only it could be clos- ...
Then he saw it, the table twitch slightly, moving toward him for a small centimeter .. he had already seen this ... it was- ... It was ...
His mother's quirk ...
He has his mother's quirk ... back at the playground he created the explosion because he had Katsuki's quirk, he can use his mother's quirk and he used Katsuki's quirk, he can use different quirk if he comes into contact with them-
And as Izuku kept trying to understand what was happening he made a realisation, this weird feeling he had in his hands ... he was pulling something. He was pulling something but it was not physical. It was something hidden inside his mother, just like he did with Katsuki ... he pulled a quirk ... no he didn't pull.
Izuku stole a quirk.
He looked back at his mother, still lying unconscious on the living room's floor.
"He looks like he had just seen a ghost." Fatgum commented.
"P-put it back !" He put both of his hands on his mom's body.
Everyone watched as the tears started to stream down kid Izuku's face.
"Put it back !" He yelled as red lightings appeared.
He was now trembling and every felt some sort of pity for the crying child.
"PUT IT BACK !" He yelled again, raising his voice even more.
Eri looked at the boy nearby. He didn't seem to like his powers. Was he like her? Cursed?
Present day.
The results were ... surprising.
Izuku ended up having four votes, so he was right behind Momo who had seven.
"Well then, that makes me the president and you, Izuku, the vice president" she concluded.
"T-thank you b-but-"
"WHAT THE F*CK ? HOW CAN THIS SHIT HEAD BE ELECTED ?" Screamed Katsuki all across the room.
Izuku was really surprised to see that Katsuki actually cared about such a thing as choosing the class representatives. Of course it was because Katsuki hated above all being inferior in any possible way to Izuku ... he didn't even want to be elected in the first place !
"He was elected in a fair way ! Just like Momo ! What's your problem with him ?"
"SHUT UP FOUR EYES AND-" Katsuki ended up being wrapped up and sent into a wall by Aizawa's scarf.
"Can you ever stop screaming ? ... anyway, I guess you are done now with your little election ... and say I finally managed to sleep for a bit" complained their teacher.
The bell rang, Izuku was surprised that it took an entire hour just to complete a small formality, Aizawa didn't seem to care, he was already sleeping again.
"Congratulation Izuku !" Cheered Ochaco.
"T-thank you ... say ... did you vote for me ?"
"W-well actually I voted for Momo ... I mean ... You are a bit s-..."
"Shy ?" Completed Izuku.
"Y-yes ... so ... I thought it would be stupid to impose you such a responsibility"
"I admit it, I didn't really want to be president but I'm just vice so I guess Momo will do most of the work ... I hope I do not sound lazy saying that"
"Sounds fine ... just avoid saying it out loud, people could misunderstand"
"... b-but then who voted for me ?" Izuku went back to the main question.
"I did !" Yelled Ilda behind Izuku.
"W-why ?!" In fact Izuku was asking if Ilda really needed to scare the hell out of him just to show his presence.
"Because you have natural capacities of leadership ! The way you analysed each people in our class was simply fabulous, it clearly shows that you managed to know each of us in only a few days"
Izuku didn't felt anything as Tenya praised him and his little analysis talents ... he just studied their quirk, he didn't even talk to half of the class at least once or learned their name. And if Tenya voted for him because of the analysis book then Izuku could only wonder why three other people voted for him ... maybe because he was first for the entrance exam or because he completely destroyed Katsuki yesterday? No matter the reason, it wasn't because people thought he actually had the capacities to be their class representative that he got elected.
"I swear that kid is sometimes a genius sometimes an idiot." Dabi commented. "That's the exact reason they voted for you." He muttered.
"Izuku ? Are you okay ?" Tenya was gone now, everyone was.
"W-what ?" He asked confused.
"You ... hum ... while Tenya was talking you ended up staring the ground, he went to have lunch with the others ... I don't think he noticed thought, did you have something on your mind ?"
"N-no it's-"
...
Five years ago.
"Okay some of these flashbacks are nice but they really break the flow a little bit." Mt. Lady commented.
Run.
Do not stop.
Keep running and do not turn back, they won't stop chasing you until you are home.
Five years ... five years during which they made his life a hell, five years since he was officially quirkless, they didn't care, Katsuki didn't care, Izuku didn't know how they could get any kind of pleasure from torturing him. They always had an advantage, they had quirks ... and he didn't. Izuku knew such a quirk couldn't be used ... no ... shouldn't at all. The night he discovered his quirk he was even more broken ... he had a quirk yes but one he would never be able to use, and if he did people would only see him as a villain ...
This world was so wrong, bad people had power and good people had nothing, this universe even found ways to make them less than weak. But right now Izuku had no idea of where he was going ... it was definitely the wrong direction, the houses around him looked very old, even abandoned. He shouldn't be here, there was no one in the streets ... no witness if Katsuki's and his friends ever managed to catch him. Izuku kept going deeper and deeper, the streets started becoming smaller ... and then he met a dead end. The sounds were getting closer, he looked all around him, Izuku prayed for a miracle one last chance to escape.
"P-please ..." he whispered to anyone who was willing to hear him ...
He looked around him again ... a door ... a rusty metal door, without hesitation he tried to open it, Izuku grabbed the handle and pulled with his strength, it barely moved, just enough so he could get on the other side. The footsteps, the explosions, the laughs were still getting closer. Izuku crawled inside the building and hid. After a moment they were gone ... he didn't hear anything else ... Katsuki wasn't complaining about anything or yelling ... it was ... weird. Izuku stood up and carefully looked outside ... there was ... no one ? Then ... Katsuki never followed him? It was ... an illusion? He was losing his sanity ... Izuku chuckled ... the laughed at his own despair and misery ... how much longer would he be able to endure this nightmare? His laugh was cut by a metallic bang ... the door closed violently, something appeared around his body, black strings ? Glowing red ? Before he could say anything Izuku was gagged by the same strings and pulled further into the dark building.
Those who were aware of it already knew what it meant. Those black strings were one of All for One's quirk. One for All recognized them as a weaker version of the blackwhip that user 5 used. It wasn't as powerful as the version that was being cultivated in the OFA quirk but it was still useful when combine with the AFO quirk.
He struggled, he knew it wasn't the right way, this part of the city was completely desert for a reason ! He was dragged below the ground, or rather he was phasing through the ground as if his body was nothing but air. Izuku couldn't see anything, everything was black ... he felt the ground once again after a few seconds and the strings weren't binding him anymore. There was a small source of light ... screens ? This place was strange ... compared to the building above this ... basement ? Yes, this basement was well kept. As he walked closer toward the screens Izuku noticed something else ... an empty hospital bed.
"Now tell me all your secrets" Izuku wasn't quirk enough to analyse what was happening, he felt a hand grabbed his head and his mind went blank.
Everyone recognized the voice. They realized that this was how Izuku met All for One. Shigaraki found it to be kind of interesting. After his decay abilities had manifested he had been on the run and no heroes came. The only person who did come for him was Sensei. This version of Izuku was similar. His powers also manifested but it didn't hurt him as much, his mother was still alive at least. Sensei didn't find this Izuku, Izuku had found his Sensei in that world.
Present day.
"You have to stop going out ... your treatment isn't showing good result" Commented an old man as he was examining a bunch of graphics.
"Did they ever show anything "good" during all these years ?" He asked back angrily, making the old man turn around expressionless "... sorry I- ... I'm not in a good mood today"
"Are you ever ?" He asked again ironically.
"... Tell me doctor ... how many quirkless kid have you examined this month ?" The question came out from nowhere ... why would his master be interested by that ? Maybe the treatment was making him senile ?
"Well when you live to be over 200 years old, I think I am allowed to be senile." AFO muttered to himself.
"And it doesn't feel weird when you realize that you had a child with a woman who is less than a quarter your age." Nana told him as she glanced at Inko.
"In my defence…he told me he was thirty five." Inko defended.
"None ?" He answered unsure
"This year then ?" The old man was starting to understand were this was going.
"... none ... this kid again right ? You never told me who he was, end every time you come back you look nostalgic ... again such a state of mind isn't good for-"
"Shut it with the treatment would you ? I'm dying I'm not stupid. I won't heal any time soon ... no he- ... this kid, he reminds me of myself."
"Like father like son I suppose." Nezu thought. He didn't know the man personally but All for One had garnered quite a reputation being the symbol of evil and all. It was still surprising learning that Izuku was in fact in his son. Even more surprising was when he looked at it all with All Might being taken into account. All Might had adopted Izuku in everything but name. The child of his arch nemesis and neither he nor Izuku realized it.
The old man turned around and took out a piece of paper and a pen "I'm not a psychologist but I'm still your doctor ... I owe you a lot and trust me ... if you could tell me what's wrong then you would feel way better"
"Oh please do not abuse of the situation Tsubasa ..." All for One could see his doctor's face, he didn't need to turn his head around to do so but still he did ... just to add a bit drama in their conversation.
"Go on ... what's on your mind right now ?"
"... I went into his head once ... usually I do not use this kind of quirk, it's exhausting ... but I had to make sure he wasn't a threat at the moment ... and when I did it was so chaotic ... pain ... sadness ... hate ... he didn't have the life I had but we were similar in so much ways ..."
Izuku wondered what he meant. Was he just talking about the quirk or was there more to it? As far as he knew the All for One quirk would technically have made him quirkless but during the emergence of quirks that wouldn't have made much sense as heroes and quirks didn't matter. Not having a quirk back then would have been a blessing. So was the symbol of evil actually bullied when he was younger. Looking to the one he had assumed was OFA, Izuku wondered if they both were bullied and while one became a villain, the other rose above it.
"... Like what?"
All for One would never tell him about Izuku's secret quirk ... he wouldn't to anyone, in fact it was only because of All for One Izuku was still alive ... if he didn't feel it during that first contact then ... let's just say Izuku would still be missing today.
"So you have Stain deeming you as a real hero…and now you have All for One." Shoto commented, "Why do I feel worried that you might end up being a villain in this world."
"Didn't I just answered ?" He glared at the doctor.
"... let's keep it that way ... but maybe you could give me an answer I can exploit ?"
A long time ago ...
He remembers to good old days when the world seemed so small and simpler ... he remembers how chaotic it was at the same time ... quirks. It was almost the end of the world back then, living weapons, weapons that might become uncontrollable one day, who knows?
"And yet we still run that risk?" One for All whispered to his brother.
"The singularity." All for One answered.
"Yeah. OFA has reached that point after 9 generations of power cultivation….I don't think there will be a 10th wielder." One for All said.
"So I guess I win in the end." All for One said.
"Don't count me or my wielders out yet." One for All told him.
What if someone suddenly obtained the power to create a black hole anywhere or to destroy anything in the universe just by snapping his fingers ? At this time everyone lived in perpetual fear.
Heroes didn't exist ... villains didn't either ... those terms could only be used in comics ... ahhh comics, just how many did he use to read with his brother ? Too much maybe, it gave him inspiration, it damned his relationship with his siblings ... and ruined his life.
"Wait did he say siblings." One student noted. This earned Nezu and the three recent wielders attentions. All for One only had one brother. So what did he mean by siblings they all wondered. Nana was even more curious as she had witnessed quite a few memories within the core of the quirk. There were some memories that were sealed within it from her and the other wielders…maybe it was there. (Note: the original fic was written with a typo saying brothers but I changed it siblings here for some…special reasons later on.)
Sometimes he wonders what kind of higher being decided to suddenly give power to the human kind when it was already corrupted ... he doesn't blame this said higher being, after he too received power, the power to control and to manipulate every other power in the universe without any limitations. He was very young when he discovered his quirk ... about six ? It's not like he could have entered in contact with a quirk just by walking into the nearby street, about only 5% of the population had one back then.
"And now it's the reverse."
... ohhhh when he did ... this feeling is like a drug, when he takes a quirk and make it his ... he regrets sometimes that he couldn't give back some ... not that he never had the intention though ... he just couldn't, they were all too precious. He also knew that such a power had to be used for the greater good ... even if it mean becoming the bad person ... the emergence of quirk had led the world to a period of societal collapse ... he could do it, he could control this chaos.
A lot of the other members of the audience found this to be very interesting. All for One was an enigma to all of them and now his thoughts were bare to them. For a majority of them he seemed like a megalomaniac or just someone with a God complex. For those who knew their history had a more rational few…they could see some sort of twisted nobility in it. Let the world burn or try to pick up the pieces.
And he did ...
However what he never tells to anyone is how scared he was ... and always is. He was scared of being unable to achieve his vision. He was scared of being corrupted by his own power. He was scared of being backstabbed.
"It still doesn't excuse all the countless lives you ruined." All Might and One for All growled simultaneously.
"I wouldn't say this was exactly what I felt in this young man but- ... it was so familiar ... so I decided to give him what I never had"
"Guidance?"
"Precisely"
"I guess this is another altercation in the timeline because you had guidance when we were growing up." One for All commented off handily.
"That it might be….I imagine that the different versions of me might be way worse than how I am now." All for one commented.
"That's not reassuring." Nana added. "Not even in the slightest."
Five years ago.
Izuku woke up in the dark ...katsuki, the old building, the black strings ... he remembered what happened and he was only happy to not be dead yet.
"Oh you are awake finally, I thought it would take another hour until you wake up" a voice startled him from behind. He tried to stand up quickly but he didn't notice that he was laying on some kind of table so he ended up falling on the ground.
"Please try to not hurt yourself ..."
"W-where am I ?! W-what is this place ?!" He asked examining his surroundings once again.
"My ... home, sorry about earlier I thought you were some kind of thief ... I had to check your mind, you are free to go"
"Y-you did what?" Izuku managed to ask as he recovered his stance. The voice sighed and a ... man ? Emerged from the shadow, Izuku couldn't tell because the first thing he saw was a black skull and a lot of plastic tubes.
"I checked your mind ... if you came here on purpose then ... let's just say you would not be as welcomed as you are right now ... still you seem a bit disturbed" the man walked closer toward Izuku which made him took a few step backward. Izuku didn't notice as first but the man was massive, and ... something ... something was off now that he had a clear vision of him ... whoever this person was Izuku only felt death emanating from him.
"I wonder when I'll get that kind of threatening aura." Shigaraki wondered. No student dared tell him he already had it with the whole severed hand motif.
"Now tell me ... tea ? Coffee ? ... maybe water ?" The sudden hospitality took Izuku off guard and slightly diminished the man's overwhelming aura.
"U-uh t-tea ?"
"Excellent choice ... though I'm not sure you will appreciate it, I don't have any sugar either ..." the man walked further into the room, that's when Izuku noticed that the previously dark and barren place was in fact fully equipped as a kitchen ... he was still questioning his mental state by the way. "Have a sit ... anywhere I don't care"
"W-..." Izuku tried to suppress the incoming questions and simply obeyed the man, he sat back where he was lying a few moments ago, a metal table ... which seemed to have been used recently ... very recently.
"Don't know what to ask next ? I understand, people needs answers to not lose their composure, any kind of answer is enough nowadays ... anyway" Izuku heard an acute whistling, probably coming from a boiler. "It would be rude to not introduce myself to my ... newfound invitee" He came back with two cups that he dropped near a desk full of computer screens and then he sat in a big office chair, the one in which you expect to either see the richest man in the universe or the bad guy with a claw and a cat in old movies.
"I did not expect the kid to make an inspector gadget reference." Naomasa remarked.
"Inspector who?" Mina asked.
"Inspector Gadget." Naomasa repeated. "It was a famous franchise in the pre quirk era. It was about detective who solved crimes. The detective in question was actually a robot or a cyborg depending on who was the writer." The office explained.
"I'm guessing you were a big fan of him when you were growing up." All Might added.
"Considering he made the detective work look cool, shame he didn't have a gadget polygraph though."
"Robocop was better." One for All remarked.
"Oh please. They would be terminated by the cyberdyne systems model 101." All for One countered.
"I can't give you my name as you wouldn't understand it, and beside you shouldn't know it at all for your own ... good" the man would have say safety ... Izuku knew it judging by the small silence the man made "Now that I answered your question would you tell me how you ended up here ? I saw you running like death was on your back"
He didn't actually see it though. He did saw Izuku running while he was looking into his head but he couldn't watch nine years of someone else's life, he had to keep it short. He wasn't lying earlier when he said that he simply checked his mind to see if Izuku was an intruder or not.
"Y-you-" Izuku tried to say in a polite way that his ... host ? Never answered his question and he never asked one either, the best thing he could do was to answer his questions "S-someone was af-after me and-I-ran-and-h-here" The man grabbed one of the cup ... Izuku would have found this fun because there was no way his host could drink this with the helmet he was wearing but right now the said host was simply too scary to think about anything close to fun.
"I imagine it must have been difficult for you drink with that helmet on Sensei." Shigaraki asked.
"Believe me it was but I'm sure it was even more difficult for All Might to eat with no stomach or use the toilet." All for One countered. The villain was very accurately aware of how much he had damaged All Might so while he had some nightmares of the hero, he also had some pleasant ones when he imagined the hero in those situations.
"... could you please repeat what you just said ? And this time please make sure I can understand"
"R-Right, I-I said that I-w-was running because my fr- ... classmates were trying to ... bully me" Izuku knew what they would do to him but he didn't have to look miserable in front of his host.
"Well this time it's clever ... but ... no one was following you ... so tell me, I know you aren't lying, I don't need a quir-, I mean a lie detector to know that"
Several of the heroes glanced at Naomasa. The detective in question slowly scooted away a little from his seat trying to put more distance between himself and All for One.
"I- ... I- ... I thought they were following me" believe would the correct word to use ...
"... Sorry I should probably not push you to answer" the man grabbed the other cup and handed it to Izuku "it should be cold enough now, enjoy it"
Izuku hesitantly grabbed the cup, it wasn't even tepid ...
"W-why- ... I mean ... A- ... Are you a villain?"
"Wow…wow…..wow." Shigaraki commented. "Sensei is not just a villain…he's a super villain…the number one super villain."
"Isn't that obvious? Ha ... hahaha, it took you so long to ask this question, you really are a special someone. You could say I am one yes ... now tell me, what makes you say that, hum ?" He stood up and walked across the room. "Yes ... is it because my home is dark and scary ? Because I abducted you ? ... no not abducted, I mean you are free to go. In fact, define what's a "villain" would you ? Here and now with your own words" It was almost calculated, he ended up right in front of Izuku.
"A-a villain is- it is someone who uses his quirk t-to do bad things ?" The man stared at him.
"... that's close enough from the "official" definition ... Now here is the problem with your statement, have I done anything wrong ?"
... no ... he didn't, he ... took care of him ? In a way ? He even offered him a drink.
"Now do not give me that look ... well I don't really know what kind of expression you have right now ... I'm half blind to be honest and-" He looked at his arm, there was a small watch but Izuku could tell that this one was worth a lot of money "hum ... 6 PM ... I'm almost sure you should be in your home by now, your parents must be worried about you"
"Y-yes !" Izuku grabbed his backpack which had been dropped next to the table.
"Please accept my apologies for this disagreement, the exit is right behind you ... be careful in the staircase though" Izuku didn't care much about what this man was saying, he had to get out NOW "Oh and feel free to come here, those bullies will never find you here"
Izuku stopped ...
"T-thank you"
Present day.
"H-... he came back ?" Asked the doctor surprised.
"He did ... this time however there was more than an illusion to fear"
"What kind of ... he didn't have all his mind did he ?"
"I think that he simply didn't want to be a public punching bag anymore, makes sense no ?"
Izuku looked at this curiously. He didn't exactly have that kind of luck the other version of him had. He wasn't jealous of the relation with All for One, no, what Izuku was envious about was the fact that this version was able to find someone to open up about and to feel safe from the bullies with. He understood that the other versions they saw didn't have that. They all just met different teachers but this one met his teacher years before the rest of them.
"I wouldn't try to find refuge with you if we just happened to meet ... no offence"
"None taken ... where was I ?"
Five years ago.
Izuku ran down the staircase, he didn't recognise the place at first but he didn't have much time to choose, hopefully he did recognise the rusted metal door ... and this time it was half opened.
"Right on time, I forgive you for not knocking before entering ... tea this time again ?" Izuku was still catching his breath so All for One assumed that he would take some tea again.
"S-sorry ... I-I didn't know where I should go ... they are too used to the way toward my apartment ..."
"I offered refuge in the first place, I brought a chair this time, as this old operation table isn't comfortable right? ... tell me how about we introduce ourselves if we are going to see each other on a regular basis"
"I-I ..." Izuku look rather reluctant to answer ...
"Fine I will start, you shouldn't give your name to strangers, you don't have to give me your family name if you prefer ... just call me Sensei, that's how most people call me"
"I-I'm Izuku"
"Izuku ... I like this name, this is way better than yesterday we manage to have a decent conversation for about one minute so far"
Izuku chuckled slightly, the anxiety that he felt the other day was gone surprisingly "s-so ... what do you do here ? Are you alone ?"
"Hum ? Curious I see, I'm currently healing ... well "healing" such a big word ... I'm trying to, to be honest ... you were right to call me a villain yesterday, and before you go yelling at the closest police station I'm retired ... mostly"
"Retired ? ... that ... that doesn't sound ... normal?"
"Hahahaha, dear Izuku, you didn't thought villains were eternal ... do you ? Even heroes have to retire one day, it's funny when you put it this way, our society needs villain so heroes can exist"
"But villains do not require heroes ... right?"
"That's more of a debatable topic." Nezu explained. "Heroes and Villains are two side of the same coin. They can exist individually but that usually doesn't long. If a villain shows up to cause chaos then a hero will most likely arise to stop them and if a hero exists…villains might still show up to challenge the heroes." The principal shared with them.
"So what you're saying is….it will never end." Shoto deadpanned. "The heroes make the villains and the villains make the heroes."
"That's a pretty accurate statement." Flare told them. "Just look at All for One." She gestured. "When he desire to rule, his brother became the hero to stop him. When he killed the All Might's mentor, All Might came after him and the criminal empire he built and tore it down. In a similar manner there are various cases in your society where either the idea of heroes or the actions of some of them have actually turned people into villains.
"And smart above all ... I understand why you are the scapegoat in this story"
"Sc-scapegoat ?"
"Don't tell me you do not know what it is, here" Sensei put a cup of tea in front of Izuku "now my turn, what do you want to do in your life ?"
"Y-... you wouldn't like it"
"Please, it's a silly conversation between two adults, what could possibly anger me ?"
"...I- ... I want to be a hero"
All for One stared at Izuku, he became silent ... and perfectly still.
"Well ... what kind of hero do you want to be ? It's not because I'm a villain that I necessarily hate heroes"
"Why do I find that hard to believe?" All Might mumbled.
"Would you believe me if I told you I was a vigilante before I became the top villain." All for One countered.
"Wait…you were a hero sensei?" Shigaraki asked.
"It was a different time then….although technically speaking I was still classified as a threat and a menace to society." All for One added.
"Are you referencing Spiderman now?" His brother asked.
"I was actually doing Ben 10." All for One answered.
"I don't understand ... why am I even here ?"
"Who knows ? Because you feel lonely, because you are scared and maybe because you don't really see me as a bad person"
"... you-"
"Answer please"
"I- ... I'm not sure, I really want to be a hero just like All Might, a hero who save the days and bring hope to people with smile" Izuku could swear that he heard Sensei breath under his mask, but this breath probably meant something worse.
"... good ... and what kind of quirk do you have ?"
"Q-quirk ?"
"Yes ! After all it's the power which makes the hero rights ? Now go on ! Show me what makes you special"
"B-but I ... I-" Izuku didn't answer, he tightened his grip around the cup of tea and stared at his reflection.
"Something wrong ?"
"N-no hehehe ... It's just-just ... I don't really ... have one" Izuku expected that his knew "friend" would laugh at him ... and he did.
"Oh yeah this just got bad." Shigaraki said…with worry… no he wasn't worried for Izuku. Well that version of Izuku maybe. AFO Izuku had the makings of being a good little brother. This one in the theatre with him, not so much.
"Hahaha that's a good joke" Izuku gritted his teeth "But ... I know when someone has a quirk or not" Izuku dropped the cup on the ground; suddenly he felt once again the morbid aura around Sensei.
"N-no I-"
"Do not bother about the cup ... show me your quirk would you ?" Before Izuku could do anything Sensei was in front of him and he had a firm grip around his right arm.
"N-No don't !" Izuku struggled to break free, he was stupid, so stupid, if course he couldn't trust a villain even if he was "retired" and "blind".
"It will only take a mome-" All for One intended to use a quirk to force the activation of Izuku's one but what he saw then gave him a sensation of ... pleasure ... and fear. Red sparks ... exactly the same as his ... another All for One, ideas rushed through his mind, plans ... hope. For a moment he was paying attention to Izuku who manage to break free, he was now running toward the staircase.
"W-wait ! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO THAT !" He yelled, grabbing Izuku with the black string quirk.
"L-let me go !" Shouted back the teen as he struggled with all his strength.
"Your quirk ! I know what it does ! I know why you pretended to be quirkless !" he caught Izuku's attention, the boy stopped wiggling "Your quirk ... you can't use it, because you want to be a hero ... and because a hero can't have this kind of power, you weren't running because of me, but because of what you can do ... Do you want to know how I managed to know you had a quirk ? How I knew what it was ?"
"... y- ... yes"
"My boy ... you and I are the only people on this planet that can steal quirks"
The screen faded to black.
"And that's how they met."
"Looks like it."
"Okay so now we'll be doing something a little different." Flare explained.
"Um different how?" Nezu asked.
"So far we've usually been doing this on a one episode/ chapter kind of format with each world. That being said we've only been showing you other worlds." Flare elaborated. "So we are going to change it up a little and this time we're going to show you something from the past in your own world." Flare added.
"Wait…so we'll learn more about each other? Ribbit." Tsu asked.
"Yes. Yes you will." Flare answered. "We're mostly doing it during this world since this is one is already built and our boss likes to have some originality in each arc."
"I don't understand what that means but who are we going to watch first?" Mina asked.
"Well it's only fair that we start with the oldest among you." Flare said. "So we're going to watch a short memory of All for One and One for All in their childhood." The girl said with a grin. This earned everyone's attention both heroes and villains alike as they turned to look at the brothers sitting in the back who were also shocked by what they heard. Flare didn't even give them a chance to respond as she immediately started to short clip. "And for the sake of keeping things clear, they'll be referred to by the names OFA and AFO even if they weren't called that at the time." She added.
"I don't understand why we're the ones who have to come shopping with Ge-Ge." AFO grumbled as walked down the street. He was struggling to hold a few shopping bags in arms, like 3 in each arm. He really hated it when the girls dragged him along to do shopping.
"Wow this is like really far back." Toga noted. AFO looked no older than Deku and a few of the students of 1A.
"Come on brother it's not so bad. Besides Ge-Ge said we could stop by the comics store when we're finished." OFA told his older brother. He had only two bags since he wasn't as physically capable as his older brother.
"Wait isn't anyone else seeing some sort of resemblance here or is it just me." Spinner said as he looked at the screen and then at Deku and Shigaraki. Everyone else followed suit glancing at them. The differences were still there but there was some kind of resemblance between Dek and Shigaraki and AFO and OFA respectively. It wasn't anything major but it was there. Deku's messy hair style and green eyes were present on AFO while OFA shared Shigaraki's skinny frame and hair style and hair colour.
"Another clue." Shoto muttered.
"A clue?" Eri asked.
"It's nothing important." Shoto quickly assured her.
"Those comics are a waste of time anyway." The older brother continued to complain. The two of them were helping gather groceries for the base. Unfortunately for them the person in in charge was Ge-Ge.
"Oh I remember this day." OFA suddenly realized.
"As do I."
"Who's Ge-Ge?" Nana asked OFA.
"You'll see." The first torch bearer responded.
She was the most viable decision at the time because she always went around to the different stores to get the best deals and that usually meant a lot of walking and standing around while their arms got weighed down by more and more bags. Ge-Ge herself was walking right in front of them with a few bags of her own while she checked of the items of her list.
"I was also going to take you to buy the new Hannibal book as well but if it's such a waste of time…." Ge-Ge trailed off.
"Who is Hannibal Lecter?" Toga asked.
"He's a fictional cannibalistic and wicked cultured serial killer." OFA explained. "If I recall the whole series was centre around his exploits." OFA said.
"What's a cannibal?" Eri asked.
"Ummm that's something we'll tell you when you're older." Dabi said quickly. Yeah there was no way they were going to tell her what it was. Dabi then shot OFA a glance that made the older man look nervous.
"No. No it's fine. I love shopping." AFO said with as much fake enthusiasm as he could muster. The older girl merely smiled while AFO's younger giggled at his brother's flustered expression.
"Wow she seems nice. You're sister?" Inko asked.
"No but she sure would have fit the part." AFO said.
The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful. Once they finished buying all supplies they packed it all in the car before heading to the stores for AFO's novel and OFA's comic. Once finished they were about to head home when Ge-Ge spotted something interesting in one of the last stores they past.
"Why wouldn't you two want to go in there?" Mineta said as he recognized the store. Tsu's tongue immediately slapped him on the back of his head.
It was a store neither brother wanted to go in so Ge-Ge told them to wait right outside until she returned. Realizing she might take a while the two boys decided to past the time by reading their new books.
"Despite the obvious differences, the two of them still shared some similarities." Nezu mused as he watched them. "However while one seemed to enjoy reading about heroes, the other was more interested in a serial killer series. Normally that wouldn't be all that significant but seeing where they both ended up." The chimera glanced at the two once more.
"Well what do we have here?" A mocking voice called. Both boys looked up to see four unfriendly faces staring them down. The two of them gulped.
It was so weird for Shigaraki to see the man he grew up to idolize as a child even more so when he was a lot more helpless than some of those brats in U.A. He had always held a constant image of the power figure All for One was in his head, an image that he always aspired to be like. AFO had already assured him multiple times that he was well on his way to becoming a great villain but Shigaraki usually found that hard to believe sometimes as the gap between them was too big. He had thought many times that it would be impossible but seeing the young timid AFO here made him realize he really was ahead of his master.
They tried to scream however the thugs had already grabbed them and pulled them into a nearby alley. Ge-Ge had seen the whole thing from inside the store.
"Normally I would have assumed that maybe she would alert the authorities but considering what we've so seen so far I sincerely doubt that." Aizawa said.
"Now listen here you pieces of crap. Why don't you hand over all your stuff to us and we'll leave you only slightly bruised." The leader threatened. "Otherwise things might get a little…bloody." He said as he revealed a knife to them.
"Or you can let them go before I thrash you all." Ge-Ge said from the behind them. The thugs took one look at her and laughed.
"She doesn't exactly look like the threatening type." One of the villains said.
"It also doesn't help that around that time quirks were only now emerging." AFO explained. "So they wouldn't even consider if she had a powerful quirk to back up her confidence."
"Nice try doll but you should just move along unless you want us to have some fun with a nice little thing like you." One of the thugs said as he licked his lips and cast a predatory glance at Ge-Ge.
"Why do I feel like that guy might be related to Mineta?" Jirou said.
"Oh come one I'm not that bad." The grape hair boy said.
AFO and OFA noticed the vein bulging on Ge-Ge's forehead as they both backed away very slowly only to be stopped by two of the thugs.
"One of the things you never call Ge-Ge is doll. Even to this day I'm tempted to hide when I hear the word." All For One admitted to Inko.
"Wait a minute." Nana realized. "After I got the OFA quirk whenever I heard the word doll I always felt a chill run my spine." Nana explained. "That was you responding to the word doll as well." She theorized as she looked at OFA.
"Yes. Now please stop saying it." He begged her.
"Let me repeat myself one more time." Ge-Ge growled as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a pair of gloves. "Let my boys go or I'll send you both to hell." She growled as she put the gloves on.
"You know…I'm starting to see where Master got his menacing aura from." Shigaraki said.
"Tomura believe me. You haven't seen true fear yet." All for One told him.
"Don't you normally say the gloves are coming of?" Shoto noted.
"Yeah. So I can only imagine there's a reason for her putting them on." Momo explained.
"Maybe she just doesn't want to get dirty from fighting." Denki suggested.
"Ooooh he gonna get it." OFA and AFO thought as they saw Ge-Ge with her gloves on. The leader told Ge-Ge no once more. Unfortunately for him he was really getting on the girls nerves as Ge-Ge snapped her fingers creating a small spark from the glove before a sudden explosion erupted in the alley as a dumpster was sent flying over their heads and landed behind Ge-Ge blocking them from the view of passers-by.
"Did she just…" Ilda stammered
"Make an explosion." Deku finished.
"That looked just as powerful as Bakugo's." Tokoyami noted.
"Oh crap." The thug holding OFA said as he let the boy go and ran away. His comrades tried calling him out but they were stopped when Ge-Ge snapper her fingers a second time and sent the thug who had made the perverted suggestion at her flying.
"Serves him right." One of the ladies commented.
AFO, realizing he had an opening hit, his captor with an elbow to the stomach freeing him before he sprinted away from the man. The man didn't even get to make a sound as Ge-Ge snapped her fingers a third time and sent the man flying into the wall. The two brothers immediately went and hid behind Ge-Ge.
"Last chance. Run now or else." She warned. The warning seemed to fall on deaf ears as rather than run when he had the chance the man lunged for them with his knife. Ge-Ge didn't flinch as she snapped her finger one last time. "Disappear." She said as an explosion larger than the others appeared beneath the man and sent him flying sky high. The man fell back down landing in a dumpster burnt and smoking but still very much alive and unconscious.
"So her quirk allows her to make explosions?" Izuku theorized. "Does this mean she is an ancestor of Bakugo?" He muttered.
"We'll stop you right there." One for All deadpanned.
"Ge-Ge's quirk is not explosions or anything of that sort." AFO explained. "She manipulates the density of the air around her, more specifically the oxygen density. A very weak quirk on its own but anyone person who learns to control the quirk and apply different sciences to it can make it into a powerful weapon." He told the audience.
"Case in point the gloves she put on were specially made to cause sparks when she snapper her fingers." One for All added. "She uses her quirk to make the air denser in certain places and then snaps her fingers to ignite it and cause an explosion only a few of you all are capable of matching. She can also do the reverse and lower the density of the oxygen and temporarily remove it from the area so she can extinguish the flames just as easily as she can make them."
The students and villains were admittedly impressed that such a weak quirk could have been turned into something so deadly especially by someone so young and innocent looking as Ge-Ge. Shigaraki was starting to realize just why his master became so intrigued with quirks and experimenting with them. His master had someone who could have been just as devastating with something as weak as air density.
Once she and the boys had managed to make it back to the car and away from the alley, Ge-Ge pulled both boys into a tight hug, apologizing profusely for leaving them and letting them land in that situation. The two boys assured her it wasn't her fault and that it could have happened to anybody. They were just glad she came back for them. Once everyone was done comforting each other they all got in the car and headed back to the base.
"Well that was that." Flare said. "Pretty short but that's the point. We can't show you everything in chapters so we break it down whenever we can." She explained. "Now how about we grab something eat before we start the next one." She told them.
A.N. So I had some ideas for a story around the emergence of quirks but then realized I might have been spreading myself too thin with the amount of worlds in the story. I am currently at 3 worlds and it might possibly go to 4 as the generator world might split so i have Izuku the nanites as one world and Veena and Shigaraki as the other. So if we check it that's 4 worlds with 4 to 5 chapters for each world. As such i figure i can just put this emergence of quirk story as bunch of one shots at the end of the chapters instead. Like Flare said its experimental.
So as you can see we have this pre mha character called Ge-Ge. If any of you recognized the description of her quirk is inspired by Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist but appearance and personalty wise I'm basing her more on Nepgear from the Neptunia series. I've got several more characters to introduce in that era and they will be based on various other anime, cartoons and game series. I figured i can try that since I'm still getting requests about doing certain worlds and while i can't make complete stories for all of them i can still try and make a character exploring some ideas. Well that's all for now. Fav, Follow and Review as always and I'll see you next time.
