Inko quietly pulled out her phone as she peeked into Izuku's All Might filled room. She had been suspecting Izuku and Ana had discovered their feelings for each other a couple days prior and were just trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. How did she know? Izuku was blushing like crazy when he got home two days ago after school. Now she had proof.
Inside of the room, was Ana and Izuku cuddling as they watched a movie on his laptop. They both had this look of content on their faces, that spelled out, they were dating. She quietly snapped a photo, sending it to Samantha Lee, before entering the room. "Izuku, I made cookies!" They quickly separated from the embrace blushing. "Mom, hi, uh couldn't you have knocked?" She grinned. "Oh, did I need to? I'm fairly sure you weren't doing anything wrong, right?"
"Ms. Midoriya, we were just watching a movie nothing else." Inko frowned, "What have I told you Ana?" "R-right, Auntie." "No! Call me Mom." Inko grinned when she turned around her phone screen, a photo of the two lovebugs cuddling. Izuku and Ana lit up like a stop light. "So, when were you two going to admit you were dating?"
At that point Ana's phone began to ring, and as she pulled it out, she paled. "H-hey mom…" "When were you going to tell me, you were dating?!" Ana put up a weak defense. "We-e-ell we didn't a-admit our f-feelings until two days a-ago so…" Inko stepped in. "So, you haven't gone on any date yet? We are going to have to fix that. SAMANTHA, lets set them up this Saturday evening!" Mrs. Lee heard through Ana's phone. "Inko, that's a great idea, I'll pay for half the date, you pay for the other half, let's get these two on their first date!" The phone wasn't even on speaker.
At this point, Izuku had passed out from the blood rushing to his head, and Ana was not far behind him. Both Inko and Samantha talked over each other proposing ideas before both came up with a rough idea of what to do, bidding each other farewell, as the call ended. Ana quickly shook Izuku awake as he groaned. "A-Ana? I had a weird dream, that mom found out and…" He turned his head looking at his mother, who had this look of pure joy on her face. She then began to flood the room with tears, as she tackled Izuku. "MY BABY'S GROWING UP! I'M SO HAPPY!"
"M-Mom…you're squeezing…to tight." Izuku breathed out as he was crushed under the motherly love that Inko had to give. "P-Please let my b-boyfriend go." Inko promptly let go. "Oh right, sorry Izuku, I'm just so glad. You know what this calls for? A celebration, I'm making both of your guys favorite food!"
"M-Mom?! What? You don't have to do that." Izuku stuttered out waving his hand furiously. "Nonsense, I'm more then happy to." And without another word she left behind the cookies and ran to the kitchen to bake a celebration. She also grabbed her phone, calling up Samantha and her husband to invite them over. Izuku looked at Ana who looked back at him.
"I guess, now that the cats out of the bag, maybe we move to the living room?" Ana simply nodded.
After a long dinner celebrating, Tanaka and Samantha Lee helped Inko cleaned up as Izuku and Ana hung out in the living room watching the news. "We interrupt this broadcast to bring a livestream of the fourth and final physics laboratory in the Mustafa district, at the behest of Endeavor who wanted the show everyone the villain he'll bring down. Let's watch." The screen turned to a live stream from the entrance of the Lab pointing down the street. "Right now, we have word from undercover police, that the cloaked man has been found walking slowly towards the lab and will be in view shortly."
"What are you guys watching?" Ana replied back, "Endeavors going to put the smack down on an evil villain." Samantha poked her head in. "Really? Ok maybe we should watch as well." Both of Ana's parents, as well as Inko left the kitchen to sit on the living room couch as Izuku and Ana sat on the carpet. Izuku was deep in thought. 'Master, are you going to be alright?' Suddenly without warning, Alcor's voice came over the bond. 'Oh, yea of so little faith. Hehe.'
Alcor quietly made his way as the street quickly became deserted. He knew what was coming up and he wasn't the slightest bit worried. His current form was far more solid, and no transparency was to be found. He choose to forgo a lightsaber as such a piece of technology would only lead to far more questions, then letting people believe he has multiple quirks. A concentrated beam of plasma, in a hilt, is a bit out of reach for Earth's technology. He looked around, noting the minor heroes on standby, likely to assist in the capture of the evil villain who snuffed out 12 lives three days prior.
As he kept walking, he noted a bright light that seemed to be coming his way before slamming on the pavement. "You fiendish villain. Today I will bring you to justice. As the Number 2 Japanese Hero, this is my promise!" Alcor made no noticeable reaction to the proclaiming of Endeavors promise for about a minute before responding. "Number 2 hero? I honestly thought you were the Number 1 flaming turd." And the world goes silent. Unlike pushing people's buttons, Alcor dropped a world atlas sized dictionary on the console that is Enji Todoroki.
Endeavor freezes before he lets out one of the most powerful flames, he's got at Alcor, roaring in anger. "YOU VILLAIN! I'M GOING TO ROAST YOU ALIVE." Alcor let out a huff of amusements before dodging the flame canon heading his way. "Tsk, Tsk, if this is the reaction of the Number 2 Hero, I hate to think what other heroes are like." Endeavor then propelled himself towards Alcor, before letting off a blast in the face. Or at least attempting to. At the last second Alcor ducked his head, only singing the hood he was wearing, before kicking Endeavor with a force assisted kick to the chest. Endeavor grunted in pain as he used his flames to stop him from flying, as Alcor brought his right palm to the Hero's face, sparking in black lightning.
Before he could shoot of a burst of lightning at the burly man, Endeavor tilted his head to the side, avoiding the lightning at the last moment. "Oh, fast reflexes, guess I can throw out any hope of you falling quickly." "As if, I'm the Number 2 hero, I will surpass All Might, and that starts with bringing you down!" Endeavor growled out. "So that's what this is, you're not doing this task out of the goodness of your heart, you just want to win a one-sided contest with the number 1 blond idiot alive. A shame that your reasons are so shallow."
The fire user simply growled although pleased that the villain could insult the Number 1 without any fear. "I like you, it's such a shame you decided to be on the wrong side of the law." "Peace is a lie there is only passion." Alcor replied before the lab alarm went off. The hero's eyes widened then narrowed at Alcor. "What did you do, villain?" Although you couldn't see it, Endeavor knew the cloaked man was smirking. "It's culled multitasking, you could learn a thing or two." Leaving the physics lab in tow with the material needed was a second Alcor, matching the one fighting Endeavor. "What on earth? What is that?!" "My blood clone." He replied bored, before giving the mental command for the clone to return to the hideout with the material.
Endeavor's face became red with anger. "Who are you, what are you?!" "Hmm, I suppose I can give out my name to you as a sign of respect for the strength a force null possesses." 'Force null?' Endeavor wondered as Alcor continued. "I am the Dark Lord of the Sith, my name is Darth Alcor." "Fancy title, you make it up?"
"Funny but no, I took this title over three and a half millennia ago." There was this dangerous edge to Alcor's voice as he heard this so-called hero insult one of the longest and most powerful force factions ever to exist. "W-what? I-impossible, quirks have only been around for at most 200 years." Alcor let out a laugh at the naivety of this Pro Hero. "There are things that would shock even the calmest and collected being on this whole planet. Is somebody who should long be dust by this point really that shocking in the long haul?" Endeavor was silent before calling out his attack. "FLASHFIRE FIST." He began to rapidly punch with fists of fire as Alcor calmly dodged. "So, you're finally taking this seriously, alright, I'll oblige you."
With that statements Alcor raised his hands lifting two cars, before jumping back and flinging them at Endeavor. "FLASHFIRE FIST – HELL SPIDER!" He yelled out as the whips of fire cut the two cars into tiny pieces. In response, Alcor sent a burst of black lightning not at the hero, but rather his fire. Lightning traveled up the ropes of fire before Endeavor shut off the quirk, avoiding the shock at the last moment. "What on earth was that?!" Alcor gave a huff of amusement. "Fun fact, fire can conduct electricity." The Number 2 growled. "So, using fire against you won't be the most effective strategy unless I can bring you down fast enough. Alright I'm game."
Endeavor began to condense the fire to his feet and fists in order to make fast attacks, rushing Alcor. As he ducked the attack, he kicked the pro in the chest again, but this time sending into the air. Endeavor steadied himself before dropping down slamming is fists on the pavement. "RAGING ASSAULT – HELL MINEFIELD!" A wave of underground fire made it way towards Alcor as he made a force assisted jump away from the fire. Endeavor bit the inside of his cheek in frustration tasting copper. 'Damn, he's too fast, and using Hellfire Strom will only destroy the surrounding area. Wait where did he go?' "ABOVE YOU." One of the minor heroes in the area yelled. "DEADMAN'S DROPKICK!" Suddenly the heel of Alcor's right foot made a temporary residence on the top of Endeavor's head slamming it on the ground.
"Huh, yelling out an attack actually feels kind of good. Now I know why you heroes yell out special moves." Endeavor pushed himself out of the ground enraged, as some blood dripped down from his face. "THAT'S IT! PROMINCE BURN!" Fire began to erupt all over Endeavors body in an attempt to burn Alcor. As the Sith dodged he laughed at the anger that was rolling off the hot-headed hero. "So full of anger, you should keep that in reign otherwise someone might take advantage."
In a fit, Endeavor let lose flames so bright that they force anyone looking to turn away as the entire area was engulfed in flame including Alcor. After a few minutes of burning, Endeavor felt his limit kicking in, before receding the flames, and looking ahead. There on the ground was a charred corpse with some black rags warped around it. "Ha ha, Yes! Justice wins out!" He raised his fist in victory.
"He, he he, heheahahahahaha!" The hero's face noticeably paled as he brought his fist down. "No…" Out of the body red smoke came filtering out of the mouth and nose. It took the form of a semi-translucent being. This was Darth Alcor, the soul fragment. "Heh, ah man, you destroyed my ride." Unlike the hooded one, this one's face was quite clearly visible. You could tell he was a bit ticked off, but still amused. "H-h-how?" Alcor turned his attention to Endeavor. "Hmm? Oh that, well some Sith are capable of essence transfer. I basically took possession of this body and made it my own. I knew I was going to fight you, and a body was a great way to tip the balance a bit back in my favor."
"W-who?" "Oh that? That was a Quirkless adult I randomly found. But don't worry, when we take over, we destroy the soul and mind of the body, so you didn't kill him, you were just fighting his corpse." The hero looked sick, this villain in front of him was talking so casually of killing someone and puppeteering the cadaver, no this wasn't a villain, not any sense of the word, this was a demon pure and simple, and his instincts were yelling at him to get away as fast as possible. Unfortunately, by the time Endeavor made a move to run, Alcor had already crossed the distance, his hand sparking with blue lightning. "Now hold still, this should only hurt for but a moment." Alcor touched the number 2 hero's head, as his body became charged with force lightning. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed before the lightning stopped, his body smoking.
"Oh damn, I don't have enough time to finish you off, well in the future if you can improve some, I wouldn't be opposed to a rematch." Enji Todoroki made no reaction as the flame beard went out, passing out on the ground. Alcor stepped over his beaten body, speaking in a language that was not recognizable to the others. "Odacon Nuyak Akiva, Odacon Nuyak Xuolis. Fasona Nun Xratonas Kia right: ir Fasona Nun silent." And like a hallucination he disappeared, the only proof he was there was the broken battlefield and the knocked-out hero.
All Might watched as Endeavor got his ass kicked by this villain on TV who displayed multiple abilities seemingly unrelated. He saw the face and knew it wasn't All For One but hoped there wasn't someone else with the ability to steal quirks. The logical part of him thinks these are quirks, but the gut feeling he has is that the man is darker and far more dangerous than All For One ever could be. Funny as he no longer has much of his guts from his battle with All For One. He pulled out his phone to make a call. "Hello Gran Torino? Did you see the news...Yeah, lets set up a meeting with Nedzu."
Katsuki saw and he raged. This must be the master that Deku has and if that's true, then he's capable of all this and maybe more. The Villain didn't even look winded. He began to realize that in the grand scheme of all things he wasn't that amazing. And then that self-realization, turned to self-hatred, which turned to anger, to immense hate for Deku. He knew that the first step was to get him alone and expose him as the villain in the making. Of course, he has to worry of that new girlfriend of his.
He's not blind, he's seen the eyes the two made for each other. But he knows that for the greater good, Deku needs to be taken down, and if it breaks the Quirkless girlfriend's heart then so much the better. Hey, he might even save her life.
All For One lacked his eyes, but the use of many vision quirks made it so he could see quite clearly. Maybe not as easily as before but he could see. And did he see. This Alcor made Endeavor look like a two-year-old trying to bring down a titan. Not only that, but he was toying with the Pro Hero. He could have ended it at anytime but choose not to, in order to gauge the strength of Pro Heroes. His kind of company, but the multiple quirks were disconcerting, before grabbing his phone and punching in a disposable number. "Ahhhhh, this is Giran." He likely was taking a puff on his cigarette.
"Hello Giran, Sensei wants you to track down someone." A chuckle was herd on the other side. "Oh, and can I assume you want the self-proclaimed dark lord?" "That would be correct." "All right, I'll see what I can do, but no promises, this guy popped out of nowhere after all. Say hi to Tomura and Kurogiri for me."
Nedzu was sweating, he just saw the livestream go down, and knew that this was his fault. Maybe not completely but enough to know that he had supplied a villain with technology to further their own goals. Not only that, but he failed as an educator and let an impressionable mind remain with said villain. He failed on so many levels he may as well hand in his license. Before he could pull out a phone to make a call, his body suddenly froze. 'Oh no.'
"Hello Nedzu." Though the crack at the bottom of the door, a red fog rolled in. "Gulp, A-Alcor. What a pleasure." The red fog now solidified, gave a smirk. "I hope you don't mind I let myself in. "N-n-not a-a-a-t a-a-a-all." "You see Mr. Nedzu, I have come here to end out prior agreement for access to UA workshops, I, nor my apprentice need them any longer." Nedzu's already stiff body went even more ridged. "O-o-o-oh-h-h-h, p-perhap-ps we can c-c-c-come to an a-a-a-agreement?"
"No, I don't think I will. Now excuse me while I rip out any memories of myself and my apprentice from your mind." The Sith lord reached his hand into Nedzu's head. He began to rifle though the animal's head looking for the memories taking his time. "Oh, a former lab rat? How appropriate. And what's this, a national secret only known to three people. Gasp, the quirk One For All, how exciting." Alcor's tone was mocking and Nedzu couldn't do anything. "Ah here we are, well old chap, it's been fun, but now, I have to say hasta la vista." He said before ripping out the memories. The resulting pain caused Nedzu to blackout, the last thing he saw, a smirking, yellow-eyed face.
Back at the Midoriya residence, the group was silent. Everybody was shocked, well everyone was except for the young Sith Apprentice. He knew the power his master possessed and was not surprised, although a little offput by the brutality of the beatdown. The TV anchor returned. "Ahh, so Endeavor, he uh, he lost. Um, I hope everyone remains vigilant because this villain is still on the loose. I-I bid you all a good night." A commercial cam on as Inko turned off the TV.
"O-Ok I, I think that enough. Um, Tanaka, Samantha? Why don't you take Ana home? It might be safer if everyone returned home." They could only nod as Ana got her items, and the family of three made their way home. Inko turned to her only child. "So, uh Izuku."
"Master…" It was a hushed whisper, so quiet that I know was sure to have misheard. "What was that Izuku?" This seemed to snap him out of his trance. "Oh, mom sorry I got lost in thought, that, that was brutal. And scary." "It was, how about we go to bed early, after all you need to be up for school. And your upcoming date, this Saturday, should we reschedule or…" Izuku almost looked offended. "No Mom, I'm sure we will be safe. Besides, what are the odds we meet this villain at random." "I-I suppose you're right, Izuku. I just worry." He gave a smile. "I know and I love you for it." He wrapped her in a hug which she returned.
"Ahhhhh, I'm so in love." Izuku melted on the floor of his bedroom after a near indescribable date with his now official girlfriend. After spending another day at school, which was odd, but not unexpected, as Katsuki kept trying to turn him to dust with the death glare he was giving. They planned out an astounding night where they got dressed and went to a fancy café, ordering drinks and delicious deserts before strolling in the park.
"Have a good time with your girlfriend?" Izuku turned his head to towards the bed where his master was laying on. He suddenly got a deep dark cold pit of dread filling his stomach at the tone Alcor bit out girlfriend. "Well, that great for you, I'm glad you've found happiness. And to celebrate, I'm going to be teaching you the next step of Sith training." Izuku swallowed before replying. "W-What's that?"
Alcor gained a demonic grin on his face. "It's quite simple, it's called the Sith Sacrifice. Simply put, kill your girlfriend, Ana Lee." It took a moment before horror and dread set into Izuku's face. "W-w-w-w-wh-a-a-t-t-t? W-wh-y?" Alcor began with small chuckle before blowing up into flow blown laughter. "In order to receive your Darth Title. Did you honestly think Darth Alcor was the name I was born with? It's the next step from Sith Acolyte/Apprentice to full blown Sith Lord."
"W-w-well, w-what i-if I don't want to continue with my a-a-apprenticeship?" Alcor smiled, he was expecting that. "Well, I suppose that's your right to choose, however know that I will no longer teach you and…" Alcor began to chant in High Sith the Darkside flaring to life. Izuku as hit with the sorcery before feeling nothing.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. No Darkside, no force. He didn't even feel the training bond with his master. It was all gone. And Izuku collapsed on the floor tears streaming out of his eyes. He felt empty, void, nonexistent. "Until you complete your task, you shall remain detached from the force, no more levitation, lightning, or even lightsabers, as to get them would require the force to unlock the base. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm gonna say you last for a month before you crack under pressure. Oh, and one more thing, there is no point, so you don't need to train until you complete the sacrifice. Enjoy your temporary or permanent vacation." It was at that moment, Izuku began to realize the folly of seeing Alcor as the father figure he never had and instead saw his as the true demon he was.
Alcor collapsed into his red fog with another laugh, returning to his Holocron. Izuku got the Holocron and began to plead and beg, but Alcor would not answer the calls that were being made. After a half hour, Izuku in anger tossed the Holocron into his closet burying it under anything he could find. Hopefully, he could bury it. 'Like hell I'm going to give in master, I'm stronger than this and I'm stronger than you!' In an attempt to cheer himself up, he failed miserably as he could see through both lies in that thought.
He went to bed crying.
Izuku went to bed sobbing.
He went to bed in mental anguish.
Two weeks later, he had another date with Ana, and despite the joy he felt, his pain was still encompassing. He went to bed, tears beginning to form.
He cried the night away.
Another night, another crying session.
For a month and a half, Izuku went to bed crying. His tried eyes scaring away many of the bullies, and those that attacked flinched at the lack of response from the one the ganged up on. Before one day, the day before the third planned date, the day before his 11th birthday, he stopped crying. 'I swear Ana, tomorrow I will treat you like the princess you are, because when the day ends…'
