Izuku Midoriya, Age: 15
"The U.A. sports festival is soon." Mr. Aizawa said in a grave tone, with a serious expression on his face.
"THAT'S A TOTALLY NORMAL SCHOOL EVENT!" Half the class exclaimed. "The sports festival." They repeated.
Kirishima clenched his fist dramatically. "That's a super normal school event-" he started, before he was cut off by Kaminari's hand in his face.
"Wait a minute." The blond started.
"Is it okay for the sports festival to be held right after villains infiltrated the school?" Jiro finished for him.
"What if they try to attack us again?" Ojiro asked.
"Apparently, they think of it as a show of power to hold the festival right after the villain attack, and that it will show that our crisis management system is firm. Security will be strengthened to 3 times that of any other year, and above all, our sports festival is a good opportunity and it's not something to be cancelled because of some villains who didn't even do that much damage." Mr. Aizawa explained.
"But it's a good reason to cancel the sports festival. I mean, it's just a sports festival, right?" Mineta mumbled. Izuku ignored him in favour of letting Mr. Aizawa continue on.
"Our sports festival is one of the biggest events in the country. In the past, the Olympics were called a festival of sports, and the world was crazy for them. As you know, with reductions in scale and population, they're now but a shell of their former glory. And now, what has taken the place of the Olympics in Japan, is our sports festival." Mr. Aizawa told the class.
Yaoyorozu decided to explain it further to Mineta.
"All the top heroes of the country will be watching, you know." Yaoyorozu clenched her fist, looking more determined than anyone had ever seen her before. "For scouting purposes!" She finished.
Kaminari continued the unnecessary explanation. "After we graduate, it's normal to join a pro agency as a sidekick." Kaminari looked at Jiro and put his thumb up.
Jiro rolled her eyes. "A lot of people don't go independent after that and stay sidekicks forever, though." She turned to Kaminari with an evil glint in her eyes. "Kaminari, I feel like you'd be one of them. Since you're dumb." She teased.
Kaminari seemed to deflate before Mr. Aizawa took over the explanation.
"Of course, joining a famous, higher ranking agency, will get you more experience and fame. Time is limited. If you want to go pro, this event is the door to your future." Mr. Aizawa informed them. "One chance every year; a total of 3 chances. No aspiring hero can afford to miss the U.A. sports festival. If you understand that, then work hard on your preparations, and don't slack off!" Mr. Aizawa exclaimed with an uncharacteristic flair.
"Yes sir!" Most of the students chorused. Izuku just sat there, contemplating whether to invite Ban to watch the sports festival, or to just leave him to figure it out on his own.
"Homeroom is dismissed."
Izuku Midoriya: Age 15
"Even though stuff happened. . ." Kirishima began in the general direction of Tokoyami and Sato. "I'm still getting really excited!" He yelled to the ceiling. Izuku raised an eyebrow in his direction, going completely unnoticed, before turning back down to Chastiefol and Uraraka, who was chattering animatedly to him.
"If we put on a show and stand out, we'll have taken the first step to going pro!" Sero said as he nudged Kirishima with his weird elbow.
"Everyone's so dramatic nowadays." Izuku sighed under his breath. "I guess that's what a few thousand years will do to a species though."
Uraraka stopped chattering for a second, tilting her head in Izuku's direction.
"Did you say something?" She asked. Izuku shook his head and Uraraka brushed it off, resuming her chatter as though there was no interruption.
"So like I was saying, there was this huuuugggeee swarm of bugs!" She exclaimed, her hands making a large circular motion.
"Aw man, coming to U.A. was worth it!" Sato continued the conversation Izuku was paying attention to.
"We are only given a few chances. We must not miss any of them." Tokoyami said, shaking his head. Izuku's attention was drawn away from Tokoyami, Kirishima, Sato and Sero's conversation, by Hagakure saying something to Ojiro.
". . .Kind of nervous now." Was all Izuku caught of the sentence, but he assumed that Hagakure was just telling Ojiro that she was getting nervous. Ojiro was smiling at the invisible girl, listening quietly to her excited talking.
"I need to stand out at the sports festival!" Hagakure continued, cheering.
"Y-Yeah, but you have to try really hard, or the pros might not notice you." Ojiro replied, sweat-dropping slightly.
Izuku shifted his attention over to the blackboard, where Koda was cleaning it. Aoyama was standing beside the timid boy, twirling around and spewing nonsense about standing out too much. Koda didn't say anything to him, only nodding profusely when Aoyama got too close to his face.
Izuku's attention was swept away by Kaminari complimenting Shoji on his brawn.
"There's no point if I can't prove myself useful." Shoji replied modestly. Jiro brought a hand up to cover her mouth, as though she'd thought of something funny, which she quickly shared with the rest of her social group.
"I bet you'll stand out a lot, with your quirk!" She laughed. An image of a Kaminari who'd used his quirk too much came to the forefront of everyone's mind and Kaminari trembled in embarrassment.
"I wonder if it'll be like the Vaizel fighting festival. . ." Izuku thought aloud before realising what he'd said.
"Vaizel. . . ?" Iida asked, slightly confused. "What's that?"
"Nothing. . . Forget I said anything." Izuku shook his head. "Anyways, everyone's getting super fired up." Izuku observed.
"You're not?" Iida asked before he quickly stood up, out of his chair. "We've all enrolled here to become heroes and this is one of our biggest chances to make an impression on society. Of course everyone's getting fired up."
"You have a unique way of getting fired up, Iida." Asui said, preparing to eat lunch with Ashido. "It's weird."
"Do you not feel the same, Midoriya?" Iida asked, his hands moving in weird robot chops.
"Not really." Izuku wanted to reply. He'd seen far more interesting things than a school sports festival, even one belonging to a school for heroes. Instead he replied, "Of course I do."
Suddenly, a dark atmosphere surrounded them, and Uraraka appeared, an expression befitting a demon on her face.
"Let's all do our best at the sports festival!" She growled. Izuku beamed at her.
"Yes, let's!" He agreed. While Iida was busy inspecting Uraraka's face, Ashido popped up in between the two boys and asked what was going on.
"You don't look carefree at all, even though that's what your name means." She pointed out.
A small blush appeared on Mineta's face, and Izuku wanted to bury him six feet deep. The boy opened his mouth to say something, when Asui slapped him over the head with her tongue. Izuku sent her a thumbs up, disguised as a command for Chastiefol, and she winked at him.
"Everyone!" Uraraka growled once again, grabbing the attention of the classmates around her. She pumped a fist up in the air and growled once again. "I'm going to do my best!"
Ashido, Iida and Asui pumped their fists up in a cheer with her. Seemingly satisfied, she turned her attention to the group of four boys on her left. Once again, she pumped her fist up and cheered that she was going to do her best.
The four boys, Sato, Sero, Kirishima and Tokoyami, cheered with her less enthusiastically.
"What's going on though? Your personality's all over the place." One of them asked, after the cheer. Uraraka didn't reply, she simply cheered once again.
Izuku Midoriya, Age: 15
Izuku floated along the hall, Chastiefol in hand, chatting idly with Uraraka when he remembered a question he wanted to ask her.
"Why do you want to be a hero?" He said out of the blue.
"Um. . . I-I um. . . I need the money." She replied, embarrassed.
"I see." Izuku said.
"Wait, that's it? No more questions asked?" Uraraka asked, slightly dubious.
"Why would I need to know more?" Izuku said. "A hero is a profession as well, and everyone needs money to survive in this day and age. Why shouldn't you become a hero for the money?"
"W-Well. . . Ummm. . . I-It's just that you all have much more noble reasons. You're all here because of some sentimental thing that happened in the past while I'm here for money. I feel like I'm just being greedy compared to you." Uraraka admitted.
"That's fine though, isn't it?" Iida piped up, his hands doing funny things again. "Wanting to support yourself isn't greed or something to be ashamed about. Although, it is unexpected." He confessed.
"My family owns a construction company, you see. But we haven't gotten any work, so we're completely broke." She explained, pushing some hair out of her face and looking away shyly.
"Construction." Iida repeated, bringing his hand up to his chin in a thinking position.
"It makes sense. With her quirk, she could bring costs way down if she got licensed." Izuku pointed out. "She could negate the need for a crane."
"My thoughts exactly." Iida agreed.
"I know right?! That's what I told my dad when I was little, but. . ."She paused as though she was recalling a memory of the past. "He wouldn't let me. He said he wanted my dreams to come true." Uraraka said, clenching the hem of her skirt. "That's why. . . I must become a hero and make enough money for us to all go to Hawaii together and for my parents to live a happy, easy life." She finished, looking up at the two boys with determination burning in her warm chocolate eyes.
Iida brought his hands up slowly, before he began applauding the girl in front of him.
Then, All Might appeared in a loud flash of American glory.
"Young Midoriya!" He exclaimed, pointing to the boy in question.
"Yeah? What do you want?" Izuku asked, slightly annoyed at the sudden intrusion.
"Lunch." All Might began, lifting up a lunch box wrapped in a baby blue cloth with a puppy pattern on it. (Honestly, I could reference the anime cloth exactly, but I like puppies, so take that! :) "Wanna eat it together?"
Izuku sighed, but complied anyways, leaving his two friends behind with a small wave, he followed All Might to who knew where.
Eijiro Kirishima, Age: 15
Eijiro was just starting to befriend Bakugo at lunch, when the blond in question drifted off to sleep. Bakugo's head flopped onto the table, startling Eijiro.
"Bakugo?" He began hesitantly. "Are you alright?"
Bakugo did not respond. Eijiro gently rolled the blond's head to face himself.
"He looks so peaceful in his sleep." Eijiro observed.
"No kidding!" Kaminari said. "He looks like a little dog or something when he sleeps."
"The fuck do you want?!" Bakugo suddenly screamed in his sleep, his voice echoing throughout the cafeteria and catching the attention of multiple people. His palms began smoking and soon started exploding in his sleep.
Eijiro pushed and shoved Bakugo, hard, but the blond remained sleeping and exploding. Eijiro didn't know what to do, so he backed away from the table, afraid anything he did would hurt the blond boy.
However, Bakugo soon calmed down. His hands still smoked, but his snarl was gone.
"Do you know someone by the name of Harlequin? He goes by King now though." Bakugo asked in his sleep.
Katsuki Bakugo, Age: 15
Katsuki hadn't been getting enough sleep. It was because of his weird lion dreams, he was sure of it, but he didn't know how to stop them.
That was why it came as no surprise to him when he found himself back in the black place filled with lions, his only company the golden light.
"Katsuki. . ." The light seemed to say, reaching out to touch him.
"The fuck do you want?!" He yelled, igniting his hands.
"I am Escanor." The light said instead. Suddenly, the light grew until it exploded and in a flash of golden light, Katsuki found himself in a forest clearing standing in front of a tall, ginger man with a moustache and a large axe. "I wish to pass my ability on, to you. I think you will be a fine sin of Pride."
Katsuki had heard the sins thing before. He'd never heard the name Escanor, but he knew that the strange man had something to do with Izuku.
"Do you know someone by the name of Harlequin? He goes by King now though." Katsuki asked the strange man. Escanor's eyes flashed in recognition.
"You've met him?" Katsuki nodded. "I see, then that will make my job easier. I trust he's explained everything to you?" Katsuki nodded again.
Escanor nodded before he started glowing golden.
"My time is almost up you see. I've been lingering in this world for many thousands of years, searching for a good successor and I chose you. You have enough pride to become a good successor so I shall transfer my ability to you. It's called Sunshine and it allows my power to grow as the sun rises and drop as the sun sets. I do not know how it will work for you, but I believe it will be something you can activate and disable during the day."
Escanor slowly approached Katsuki, who had no reason to back away, and promptly flicked him on the forehead, blowing his body to pieces along with half the forest that surrounded the clearing.
Katsuki screamed in pain once as his body fell apart and once again as it knitted itself back together.
"Hmmmm. . . The transfer seems to have failed. No matter, I shall try again."
Ochako Uraraka, Age: 15
"I feel Escanor's energy." A voice rang in Ochako's head as she chatted with Iida about Midoriya having lunch with All Might.
"Diane. . ." Ochako replied "Who's Escanor?"
The question was barely finished when a yell sounded throughout the cafeteria. Bakugo had randomly started yelling again.
The yell was followed by a quiet period, after which Bakugo started screaming in pure unbridled agony.
"What's going on?!" Ochako yelled.
"I think Escanor's transferring his ability." Diane replied. "I'm going to take over now, okay?"
Ochako's nod and eye colour change went unnoticed by all but one.
Eijiro Kirishima, Age: 15
Eijiro watched in horror as a person he considered his friend began screaming in unfiltered agony.
Bakugo's stood up in his sleep and began glowing golden before the light flashed and the boy screamed in pain. One of his eyes exploded into a horror-show of blood before seemingly regenerating in a short wisp of golden light.
Amazingly, the blond boy's eyes were still firmly shut in a sleeping position throughout all the commotion.
"H-Hey, Bakugo?" Eijiro tried just in case his friend was awake. "A-Are you alright?"
Bakugo did not respond, but his body glowed golden once again and another scream pierced the air. Bakugo's other eye burst, and blood exploded from this wound, splashing all over those closest to him: Eijiro, Jiro and Kaminari.
His eye did not regenerate this time.
Eijiro sincerely hoped this wasn't a common occurrence for his new friend.
He didn't think anyone deserved that kind of pain.
Izuku Midoriya, Age: 15
Izuku was chatting with All Might about what'd happened at the U.S.J. when he felt the overwhelming presence of Escanor as well as heard Kacchan's scream.
"Excuse me, All Might. I have to go now, it's quite urgent." Izuku said, before grabbing Chastiefol and speeding off in the direction of the cafeteria.
There were another two screams before he arrived at the cafeteria, where all the students were surrounding Kacchan and a couple teachers who were trying to figure out what was going on.
In the crowd, he spotted Diane making her way towards the poor boy who was receiving Escanor's power.
Izuku floated high above the crowd and made a beeline towards Diane who looked like she was about to grow in size just to get through the crowd.
"Diane!" He called as he instructed Chastiefol's guardian form to lift her.
"Hey King! We have to hurry, or that child may not last!" Diane exclaimed pointing towards the center of the crowd. "From what I've heard, he's already lost an eye and three fingers."
"I know." Izuku replied as he floated then towards Kacchan.
They dropped down into the center of the crowd, separating the child from the teachers, before turning to the blond boy himself.
Izuku reached a hand out towards Kacchan's glowing form, connecting his spirit to the two spirits currently residing in Kacchan's body. He shut his eyes and concentrated.
When Izuku reopened his eyes, he saw he was in a clearing. Well, what used to be a clearing. All that remained of the no doubt great forest that surrounded the clearing was a single weeping pine tree.
An explosion caught Izuku's attention and he looked in the direction it came from to see a day form Escanor trying to pass his power onto a slowly dying Kacchan.
Izuku commanded Chastiefol to go ahead of him before he raced towards the pair himself.
When he got close enough to see them, he told Chastiefol to go into pollen garden form and heal Kacchan while he went to talk to Escanor.
"Hey! Escanor!" He yelled, waving his hand.
The tall, muscular man turned towards him, and a look of recognition crossed his face.
"King." The man replied. "It has been far too long since I last met any of you. It's good to see you."
"Same here." Izuku said. "Now, what do you think your doing, trying to transfer all your power to him at once? Can't you see he's dying?"
"I saw that, I merely believed his pride and will would help him adjust to the power." Escanor replied. "I've yet to truly damage him."
"How about you try to transfer Sunshine slowly, gradually increasing the output until his body can handle it?" Izuku suggested.
"I think, I will continue to do it my own way. Please remove your sacred treasure." Escanor told him. Izuku sighed.
"I'll remove Chastiefol after he's completely healed. No arguments or haggling." Izuku turned and crossed his arms, a slight pout on his face.
"Then you leave me no choice but to forcibly remove you from the boy's mind." Escanor said. Izuku's eyes widened and he took off as fast as he could, Escanor right on his tail.
"No, I'm not leaving until the transfer is complete!" Izuku yelled to the ginger man following him. Escanor said nothing, he simply raised Rhitta and swiped.
Izuku dodged, taking the opportunity to turn in another direction while Escanor slid past his turn.
It did not take long for Escanor to catch up, and the second time he swung Rhitta, it connected with King and he went flying out of Kacchan's realm.
Izuku opened his eyes with a gasp. The surrounding crowd had not dispersed and all the people around him were staring with anticipation.
Diane gave a questioning look towards Izuku, who shook his head.
A blinding light shone over the crowd, more vivid and bright than anything else the explosive boy had produced thus far.
Kacchan shone and shone until, suddenly the light disappeared.
Narrator, Age: 780 890 000 932 896
The light shone, bright and far, covering the entire crowd that had gathered around the screaming, glowing boy.
It shone and shone, brighter and brighter, until suddenly, like a lightbulb, the light went out and the boy began floating.
Up and up he went, higher and higher, until he was but 3 inches away from the ceiling of his school cafeteria.
He stopped there. His eyes blinked open with the shining gold of one point three billion volts of electricity. He opened his mouth for another scream, what would be the loudest yet, but nothing came out.
Finally, his body began to glow gold with the overflowing energy once again.
And then, Katsuki Bakugo exploded into a very large amount of dust, creating a nebula of colours in the cafeteria of U.A. High.
MLAAB: Okay so I have no excuse for the lateness of this chapter, I'm sorry. I got an earlky birthday present, a 3D printer, and I started fiddling with that and I've just been a piece of trash lately, floating aimlessly through the cosmos. Anyways, I was sad, now I'm not and I'm back full force. I mean, I won't be updating every week, but I won't make you guys wait so long again.
Onto questions.
Joseph Di Tomaso on FanFiction dot Net asked?: will you continue to update this, I just read it and its really good, don't really know which parts you wrote but the story in general is really good
Answer: Yes. Also, I wrote it all. I adopted it, but I wrote all the chapters you see here.
Guest on FanFiction dot Net asked: How long is this gonna be on hiatus for because it's really good and if you have lost inspiration just tell us
Answer: HIATUS is now over! I have not lost inspiration, just motivation, but I've completely recovered from lack of motivation and I'm back to contributing to society!
Nightmare the Kitsune on FanFiction dot Net asked: Are you going to update?
Answer: This is an update.
TOXIIIM on AO3 asked: Has Bakugou started getting calmer due to him slowly regaining his memories of when he was Escanor? If so, then that would be really cool, to see him mellow out and become more polite like Escanor is in the Anime. Also can't wait to see what his "Buffed Up" form is like, and how everyone reacts.
Also, seeing as how Meliodas, Merlin, and Gowther are still alive in this fic (Meliodas because of the Curse the Demon King gave him causing him to be revived every time he dies, Merlin because of her magical power "Infinity", and Gowther because of him being a doll) can you give us an estimate on when we could be expecting them to make an appearance? And would Merlin be the most likely one to clear up that Izuku is in fact the reincarnation of King, and that all Seven of them have powers from thousands of years ago, and that they aren't quirks, except from Katsuki and Ochako retaining their quirks because of how they reincarnated (You could use Aizawa to prove this).
Answer: I don't plan my stories, so I'm not sure when they'll come in. I'm not sure I want them integrated into society like King, Diane and Ban are, like maybe I'll have one of them sealed away and then unsealed by some idiot and then come and wreak havoc because they don't understand what's going on, but either way, it's my hands that decide it. I'm currently suffering from serious writers' block and I cut my finger, so it physically hurts to type, but hopefully I'll be finished soon. Sorry if this is not useful information, I just need to blab about my thoughts to someone who might not even reply. What I will say for sure though, is that Gowther will be coming in quite soon. I don't think he'll be there next chapter, but he'll enter the scene by chapter 12 hopefully. Also, to everyone who might be reading this: I have no idea how the hell I'm going to put Merlin in, so feel free to comment ideas. I have a bit of an idea for Meliodas and I have a vague thought about what to do for Gowther, but I have absolutely nothing for Merlin. Also, please comment on if you want Elizabeth to make an appearance as well as ideas to plop her in and I'll see if I can fit her in.
(Copy Pasted from AO3 Cause I'm too lazy to rewrite it all.)
JosephDiTomaso on Wattpad asked: Hey, when is the next update
Answer: Right here.
UnordinaryAries on Wattpad asked: He's Escanor!?
Answer: Not quite.
booplecatfish on Wattpad asked: Giant mechanical lions? Dumbasz aliens? Are we watching Voltron?
Answer: No, we are not watching Voltron. Katsuki is.
All right, that's it for questions. Anyways, as an apology, I'm going to write a few facts about me. Feel free to read them if you want, they're all true, no lying.
1. I live in the "Heart" of my continent.
2. I have brown hair that's like a mix of a few hair colours.
3. My current favourite book is the "The Expanse" series.
4. I spend a lot of money.
5. One of my greatest fears are the dark and the black things that it harbors. They smile at me and bear their sharp teeth in twisted grins and ugly growls. Their many eyes open to stare at me and size me up for the inevitable fight that comes between predator and prey.
This chapter was 3,510 words and not edited. I don't plan on editing it either.
I have a few ideas that I might write and post after I'm done this story. Also, I know there are more seasons of The Seven Deadly Sins, but I'm too lazy and busy to watch them, so anyone who wants me to watch it, too bad. I get all my information from the wiki, so I'm sorry that I fucked Escanor up so bad, but I don't think he's going to come back, so the possibility of me fucking him up again are pretty low.
This chapter was brought to you by a few sponsors.
