"ALL MIGHT!" Izuku cried out, tears flowing down his eyes. He watched in horror as his favourite hero struggle to breathe and stay conscious as the man crashes down trying to stop the bleeding. The pro heroes that were there, Cementoss and Snipe, quickly rushed to the scene. Cementoss manipulated the floor into creating a barred cell to contain Mineta. The boy stood still, doing nothing. His breathing was at timed pace, his face had no emotion, hand still gripped around the knife dripping in blood of the Symbol of Peace and his eyes... his eyes were dead and dull.
Snipe tore a piece of his cape, tying it around the wound to put pressure on it and to slow the building.
Izuku fainted, with Kaminari catching him, "Holy crap! He just fainted" The lightning user said, looking around worryingly.
"His quirk is powered by emotions I think..." Katsuki revealed, still looking at All Might, "Deku probably got exhausted from all the emotions he absorbed and used".
"Why would Mineta do this..." Ochako whispered, shocked, "He was a creep but I never thought he'd be actually evil!"
"It's my fault..." Todoroki said, causing everyone to look at him, "I made the blade... I practically injured All Might... Even my ice is evil" He said the last part in his head looking down on his hand.
"Todoroki, quit being an idiot!" A voice said snapping Todoroki out of his thoughts. He stares at where the voice came from, seeing a pair of floating gloves, "It was Mineta who did it, not you! If someone made a gun and a terrorist stole it, would it be the gun-makers fault? No! So, quit being stupid or else I'll kick your balls". Todoroki simply looked confounded, his mind working overtime to ponder over that.
"Look! Recover Girl is here! She's brought help!" One of the students announced. Recovery Girl was walking as fast as she could, whilst paramedics ran ahead of her one holding several medical kits, another carrying a stretcher. Then a whole brigade of police officers rushed in, securing the villains whilst others were putting Mineta in handcuffs, the purple boy still not showing emotion.
Soon enough everyone was being looked after. Most of the students were all right, only needing a kiss from Recover Girl, even Bakugo's arm was good as new, though the elderly doctor told him to not use any explosions until the day after. Unfortunately, Izuku, Nejire and Aizawa were all sent to the hospital.
Though still worried for their friends, one question remained in the student's minds.
"Will All Might be ok?"
Two Hours Later...
"Detective, I assume you did the DNA test and background check on Mr Mineta?" Principal Nedzu says. He had recently come from the hospital holding All Might, in an extremely secure room which only Recovery Girl could access. So far, the Symbol of Peace was currently stable, he would make it... but his hero career may reach its end.
Detective Tsukauchi sighed; the last two hours had been hectic for the man. He pulls out a stack of files, "Yes Nedzu. Minoru Mineta, child of Shin Mineta and Mari Mineta. Born and raised in the Kanagawa Prefecture. Quirk: Pop Off, which produces sticky spheres from his head that he can pluck painlessly and also decreases his height severely" He throws the file at the wall. "All fake."
Nedzu nearly jumped out of his seat. It was very rare for something to surprise him, "What do you mean?"
"There is no birth certificate for Shin or Mari Mineta, no hospital record for Minoru Mineta, no housing record of the Mineta family, and most importantly, the DNA doesn't match" Tsukauchi gives Nezu a piece of paper, giving the information about the ball headed teen's biological information, "But, his blood is a 100% match of this kid. Bai Li, born in Dalian, China. He was recorded as kidnapped child 12 years ago after he was abducted whilst being baby sat. His babysitter was killed, parents died in a mysterious car crash and soon, all living relatives died. His quirk was -is Red Rum, the ability to manipulate the movement of alcoholic liquid" Tsukauchi sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose, "Nezu... You know what this means right?"
The animal principal sighed, as if a thousand dumbbells suddenly piled on his back, "Yes... He's alive. Might I ask about the situation with Mineta?"
"The kid has shown no emotion, and we can't get a word from him." Tsukauchi answers, "We think he might be a sleeper agent, so we're going to try to find the trigger word. We've received the witness reports from the students, so we may have a starting point."
"Well, I hope you have good luck on your side!" Ndezu says cheerily, "I'll have to figure out a way to deal with the media..."
The mouse-bear-dog creature leaves the building, pondering on what Aizawa would look like in a suit.
Several Hours Later
Izuku stands in front of a dragon, verdant scales covering it, emerald eyes piercing through the teen.
Izuku stood still, his breathing slow. The dragon breathes, a gust of wind blowing. Truly a force nature.
Izuku reached out his hand, closer and closer to the beast, before the hand touches the dragon's nose.
Izuku's mouth opens, his right arm now covered in viridescent scales, "Who are you?" The boy asks.
The dragon opens its jaws, set of sharp teeth revealed "You"
Izuku shoots up, sweat dripping down his face. A dream. Just a dream.
The boy looks around his surroundings. A white room, a heart rare monitor next to him. Of course, he's in a hospital. He looks down and sees bandages around his torso. He looks at his right arm, shaking, he grabs it trying to hold it in place and eventually it goes still. "What is happening?" He thinks to himself.
A doctor walks into the room, followed by some nurses, "Mr Midoriya! You're awake!" The doctor sends in the nurses, who started taking checks on Izuku's vitals, "What a relief! We were unsure what was happening to you. You had a fever during your sleep which we chalked up to your quirk!"
Eventually the doctor let some visitors in. Naturally Inko Midoriya rushed in, tears in her eyes, hugging Izuku with enough strength to rival All Might. He learned the situation with his teachers. Thirteen was in a deep sleep due to quirk exhaustion, Aizawa had practically every bone broken, and All Might was stable, Recovery Girl predicted he would be safe. Izuku, though, worried how this would affect his muscle form.
He also learnt that there was a monstrous blob-like villain who attacked the students after he had fainted was a man named Gluttony, his quirk sharing the same name. His quirk allowed him to absorb anything he eats and use it to immediately enhance his body. Downside is that if he didn't get 35,000 calories A DAY, he would go insane and start everything in sight. From Izuku heard, the man was nice enough, but was kidnapped and thrown into a battlefield, starving. Izuku couldn't help but feel pity.
"Hey Midoriya, what happened when you attacked the big Noumu?" Melissa asked, as she, Kirishima and Tsuyu sat inside the room, "You had scales... you were like a lizard!"
"Dragon. I was a dragon" Izuku muttered, to the shock of his friends, "It's a form called... the Dragon Force. I gain the power of a dragon" Izuku remembered the lessons which Animar had taught him regarding the state. It was the most powerful form a dragon slayer could enter, giving them aspects of a dragon. Heightened senses, strength, speed, and attacks were far more powerful. Izuku had no idea that he would ever reach such a level... but the emotions of the Noumu creature. The pain it felt... it was as if multiple people were being flayed alive... Whenever he absorbed and used negative emotions, he would unleash powerful attacks, but at the cost of his ability to remain calm and smart. He would become more instinctual... more like Kacchan. And when he used positive emotions, his attacks would be more controlled, precise, and his state of mind would be better. So, if the Dragon Force which occurred back in the USJ was negatively induced... then what would his Dragon Force be like when induced with positivity...
"Yo, Midoriya?" Kirishima said, causing Izuku to snap out of his thoughts, "You were mumbling there bro".
"Oh! Sorry..." Izuku smiled sheepishly, "It's kind of a habit".
"Also, did you and Hado-Senpai go to the same dojo?" Melissa asks, continuing at Izuku's confused face, "I'm asking because back when you were out cold, Nejire fired a beam at Gluttony, and she said, "Dragon Slayer Secret Arts", so I figured you two found the same martial arts teacher".
Izuku's mind froze. A Secret Art could only be used by an actual dragon slayer! But Animar was the last dragon, right? And he was the only student the dragon took, so that would mean that there's another dragon out there. Holy shit, Holy shit, Holy shit. He would have to talk to the blue haired girl soon.
"I think the USJ did something to his head, Kero" Asui croaked, staring as Izuku kept mumbling, "And he's not stopping..."
Melissa waves her hand in front of the green haired boys face, "Should we... leave?" She asks, unsure, as Izuku stares off into the distance, "My dad mumbles from time to time, but Midoriya is on a whole new level..."
The three head out, still unnoticed by Izuku as his mumbling breaks the sound barrier.
The Next Day
Izuku walked in the streets of Mustufasu, an emerald hoodie complemented by black sweatpants. He had been released from the hospital the day before. Turns out "quirk exhaustion" was quickly gone with Izuku for some reason. Except Izuku knew that he regained magic quickly due to the abundance of the energy within the air.
School was cancelled for the rest of the week, and the green boy was bored beyond belief. Surprisingly, even though he mained Ryukyu on Super Smash Heroes, who got nerfed along with a couple other heroes five months ago, he still destroyed all the online opponents.
"Hey! Stay away!" A high-pitched voice shouted wobblily. It sounded feminine, but akin to a little girl. There was a slight purr in the words, which Izuku remembered was often present in those with animal-based quirks. Izuku turned his body to wear the noise was coming from. An alley.
He rushed to the dark space; consequences be damned. He eyes widened in confusion, shock and anger. There in the alley were two dogs, most likely rottweilers (Izuku never understood dog breeds), growling at a short... person? A person who was in a childish green dinosaur onsie with a cat tail sticking out and orange spikes going down the spine of the costume Ok, not the weirdest thing he's ever seen.
"Hey, mutts! Run off!" Izuku shouted, running in. The dogs looked at the teen like a deer in the headlights and dashed away quickly. The green teen looked down to the child and asked, "Hey, kid. Are you ok?"
The child looked up and Izuku saw her face. To his shock, it was the face of a cat, with orange-red fur*. Her eyes were wide and black, staring at the teen with annoyance, though Izuku didn't really feel fear since the onesie ruined the imposing image the cat was going for.
*(Hexadecimal code: ff6600)
"Who are you calling a kid!" The cat person shouted, "I was about to fly off anyway! I didn't even need your help!" This was naturally contradicted by the tear drops wobbling in her eyes, but Izuku let it slide.
"Well, that would be a good idea except that if you did, you'd get arrested for illegal quirk use" Izuku pointed out, causing the cat girl to smugly smile.
"Well... it's a good thing I don't have a quirk!" The cat jumped up into the air as a white glow emanated from her back. Small, angelic wings sprouted, as the cat floated in the air, "There's not a law against magic, after all!"
Izuku's brain stopped. What. The. Fuck. He started thinking back on everything Animar had told him, and then something popped up, "You're an Exceed!" He shouts, in awe and surprise. A race of magic, before the end of the world before. Cat-like creatures with the innate ability to use Aera-Magic, the ability to fly. The Exceed in front of him faltered in the air, before regaining her balance.
"Y-you know about magic!?" She said, her pupils glistening in wide eyes, "I thought I was the only magical alive! Well apart from that Acnologia guy! But I only heard about him from my parents! Can you do magic? Do you have a quirk? Is your hair actually green? What do you think of my suit? What magic can you do? Hi, my name is..."
Izuku simply stood there, letting the words hit him. Was this how other people felt when he mumbled on? "Hey... uh stop right there..." Izuku said, pausing the flying cat, "Let's start with introductions. I'm Izuku Midoriya, I use Spirt Dragon Slaying magic and I'm quirkless. Now your turn"
The Exceed grinned sheepishly, "My name is Kaida, I can use Aera magic, and I have a quirk! I don't have a name for it and since I'm technically an animal I can't get it registered, without getting chipped! Nice to meet you!"
"You have a quirk!?" Izuku shouted, eyes shining, "What does it do? What type is it? What are its limitations? Can it-" Kaida, chopped Izuku's head with her paws, and though it didn't hurt it did snap Izuku out of his muttering, "Hey! What was that for!".
"Because it felt like looking at an uncomfortable mirror... How about we talk somewhere that's not an alley." Kaida said.
"I know this good sushi place around the corner" Izuku says. The sushi place in question would probably cost this month's pocket money, considering it was quite high-class, but considering he had met a new magic user, the situation called for it.
Kaida starts walking with the emerald teen, grinning. "I think this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship, Izuku Midoriya."
Authors Notes:
AND THEN THEY WALK INTO THE SUNSET, HAPPILY EVER AFTER, THE END!
Nah but anyway, my favourite arc in the anime is happening next so pog.
And yay! Izuku gets his own cat!
I was thinking to name Kaida as Kaiju, but I decided that would be too on the nose, with the costume and all. Well that's it for this chapter. Thanks for all the support everyone! There are more people reading this on AO3 and FFN then I thought there ever would.
Also apparently around 1000 people view this every time I upload a chapter, (well on FFN), so I was wondering, how many of you lot have seen the anime known as Fairy Tail, as a lot of it is incorporated in this fic. I'll put a poll on my profile.
Anyway, Thanks for reading, and make sure to review and follow! Byee
