Ok, screw it. I can't stop myself so here's another story. This time about Shazam.

So let's actually talk about that, the name Shazam that is. They're not gonna be called that. Simply because they can't say Shazam without transforming back into kids, so how would they say it to other people?

Also which one of them would be called Shazam? And what would the other ones be called?

Yeah no, we're just gonna stick with a playoff of Captain Marvel instead.

Lastly, except some things to change about how their powers work. Obviously, they're gonna be nerfed because comic book Shazam is way too O.P. for the MHA universe.

They'll still be really powerful, like REALLY powerful, but not to the point of being broken.

There will also be some other changes because, to be honest, a lot of Shazam's powers don't make sense. He has the Wisdom of Solomon yet gets tricked into saying his own name more times than I can count.

Anyway, let's get this started.

Today was going pretty well if you asked eight years old, Izuku Midoriya.

He and his best friend, seven-year-old Kota Izumi had actually gotten to eat breakfast which was a rare pleasure they only got to enjoy when they had enough food leftover from dinner.

A woman had pitied him enough to give him a thousand yen(that's roughly equivalent to ten dollars) and that meant they could actually buy lunch from a nearby convenience store.

After picking out some Onigiri and paying for it, he and Kota walked out of the store and started making their way back to their hideout.

Things were going good.

Until Izuku took a closer look at Kota as they walked through an alleyway, and noticed he was holding something under his shirt.

"Kota," Izuku said sternly, softly glaring at his friend. "What are you hiding in your shirt?"

"Tch." Kota looked away, his expression unchanging. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes, you do, you just'' tched "me!" Izuku pointed out. "You only ever do that when I catch you stealing now what did you take?!"

"Be quiet, do you want the police coming after us!" Kota turned to his best friend. "Ugh, fine. Look."

Kota from under his shirt took out two Bento sets. "I got dinner."

"Kota you can't just steal things! It's wrong!" Izuku objected, the two stopped in the alleyway, as the typical argument started over again.

"We need it more than he needs a couple yen!" Kota argued.

"That's not the point, it's a crime!" Izuku shouted.

"Is it a crime to not starve to death!" Kota retorted.

"I-ohup!" Suddenly something hit Izuku, knocking him over.

"Izuku!" Kota shouted in concern.

"Owww." Izuku groaned.

The green-haired boy's vision started to refocus, and he saw a white-haired girl, with red eyes and a horn, laying on top of him.

She seemed pretty out of it, clearly, she hadn't been looking where she was going and wasn't expecting to bump into Izuku.

"Uh-uh." Izuku started blushing from having a girl right on top of him and looked away.

"Hey watch where you're going!" Kota scolded her.

"Wha-oh no!" The girl finally realized she'd bumped into someone and had stopped running.

She got up, Izuku followed suit and was about to start running.

"Eri." Said a menacing voice coming from the ally's exit.

The girl froze, and all three of them looked towards the end of the ally.

Standing there, was a man in a large coat with black hair. Wearing some kind of...plague doctor mask.

He had two...well they could only really be described as goons beside him.

The three men walked up to the trio, stopping right in front of the trio of children.

Eri hid behind Izuku, trembling in fear of the man and instantly telling them that whoever this was, was bad news.

"Thank you for stopping my daughter." The man lied. "She can get rather easily frightened, so if you could just give her back to me and run along. That would be appreciated."

Izuku was about to say something, but Kota put out his hand in front of him, gaining his attention so Izuku could see the black-haired boy shake his head.

"Sorry about the trouble sir." Kota walked forward. "But she has something very important to us."

The man raised an eyebrow. "And that is?"

Kota looked both ways and motioned for the man to come closer.

The man gave him a disgusted look but did so anyway, moving forward and leaning down to Kota's level.

And so Kota got close and punched him in the balls.

"UGH!" The masked man was completely unprepared for that and fell over from the sheer shock and pain.

"Boss! Your balls!" One of the goons cried.

"He just hit the boss in the junk!" The other one said.

"Run!" Kota ran away from them as fast as he could, Izuku grabbed Eri and did the same.

"Ah! Go after them, you idiots!" The man ordered the two goons, who had been so stunned by the sheer audacity of Kota. "If they get away, it's your heads!"

With the threat to their lives clear, the goons started running as fast as they could to catch up to the children, who already had a good head start.

The three kids kept on running, already starting to feel tired as their tiny bodies didn't have much stamina, and they could see the men starting to gain on them.

"They're catching up!" Kota pointed out.

"Kota! Let's go to the trains!" Izuku suggested. "I have an idea! Eri I need you to say something when we get there!"

A few minutes later, at the train station.

Adults were going by their normal business until they suddenly heard a cry.

"Help!"

Izuku, Kota, and Eri ran in stopping for a moment to catch their breath.

Eri had "tears" on her face that were actually just water from Kota's quirk, but to the adults combined with her red eyes, made it seem like she was sobbing.

"Bad men! They touched me in my no-no places! And now I can't be a bride anymore!" Eri cried out the line Izuku told her to say.

Many gasps and looks of horror rang among the crowd before many of them moved to act.

"Get them on the train!" One woman said.

"Someone call the police!" Cried a man.

"Get the heroes!" Another shouted.

Meanwhile, a group of people ushered the kids onto the train.

As the train doors closed, the three could see the two men coming in, and getting called quite colorful names by the people.

"Are you ok kids?" A woman asked them.

"Y-yes." Eri sniffed, keeping up the act Izuku told her to put on as best she could although, given the state of fear and shock she was in, that wasn't too hard.

Kota leaned over to Izuku and whispered. "Hey, what did she mean by "she can't be a bride anymore"?"

"I don't know but I heard it somewhere and I know it's a bad thing," Izuku answered.

Just as things were settling down and the adrenaline was wearing off, suddenly, there was a huge flash of light that blinded the three kids.

"Ahh!" Izuku cried out, rubbing his eyes.

"What's going on!?" Kota asked doing the same.

When the light died down, the children rubbed their eyes and looked around.

Only to find that everyone was gone, and they were now alone in an empty train.

"Huh!?" Kota cried out in shock.

"What happened to all the people!?" Izuku asked.

While the two of them were freaking out, Eri looked up at one of the windows and saw...rocks?

Then, the train seemed to go faster, so fast that they all had to hold onto one of the poles so they didn't fall down.

The windows started freezing over and they could see strange lights coming in from the outside.

This went on for several moments until suddenly, the train started to slow down, and eventually come to a stop.

The doors opened, but instead of another train station, they were met with the sight of some sort of cave.

Out of confusion and wonderment, the three children with their eyes wide and their mouths hanging open walked out of the train and into the cave.

"Woah," Izuku said as the three of them admired the cave.

It looked like someone had carved the room out of a cave. There were no lights yet somehow the room remained lit, if dimly so.

The things that drew the most attention, were first, the demon-like statues that stood to the side of the main walkway, and secondly, the six thrones at the end of the walkway.

And then they noticed him. Sitting in the center throne was an old man. He was very skinny and had very long white hair with a long white beard, there was so much of it that they could barely see his face. He was wearing a long robe and some slippers and was holding a long staff with some blue glowy thing at the end.

"Welcome children." He said, his voice hoarse but still loud enough that they could hear it. He got up from his throne and started walking towards them. "My name is Shazam."

Kota gave him a funny look. "Shazam? Really?"

"Yes, I am the last of the wizard council." He explained. "And this is-"

"Ok stop!" Kota stopped him, giving him an irritated look. "Wizards? Wizards aren't real! Who are you!? Where did you take us!? And what do you want!?"

"Kota!" Izuku scolded him, while Eri still hid behind him giving the wizard a cautious gaze. "He was going to explain! Let the wizard talk."

Kota grunted and crossed his arms. "Fine."

"As I was saying." Shazam continued. "This is the Rock of Eternity. Where the wizards once resided. As for why I have brought you here, for that I must tell you a story. There were once six great wizards that made up the wizard council, however, despite our great power, we could not stop the hands of time from claiming their lives as we grew older, and as such, we decided to give our power to special champions that would protect the world from evil. However, the first to give his power, choose poorly, and his champion became corrupt and had to be sealed away by us. The next two wizards did not want to give such great power to anyone else, so over the years, they distributed fragments of their power to newly born children. This is how the power now known as quirks came to be."

"Wait wait wait!" Kota stopped him again. "Are you saying quirks are...magic?"

"Shhh!" Izuku quieted his friend, before looking to the wizard to continue.

"The next two wizards did not wish to be stuck with the burden of choice after the first champion fell." The wizard continued. "And so they gave their powers to me, before passing away, allowing me to live hundreds of years longer, and choose three champions. And now, I choose you three. You shall inherit my power!"

"Really!" Izuku had stars in his eyes, and a grin so big it hurt. After years of being quirkless Izuku, a powerless Deku, could it be that now he was going to get powers of his own?

Eri was also thoroughly shocked. Someone thought she was worthy of something?!

"Really?" Kota looked at Izuku like he was crazy. "You actually believe this? He's obviously lying."

"Should you accept." Shazam ignored Kota. "Put your hands on this staff, and say my name."

Izuku immediately put his hand on the staff and looked at the other two to do the same. "Come on guys do it!"

"I-I…" Eri looked away in shame. "I don't think I'm worthy. I'm just a curse."

"Come on Izuku, this is obviously a load of bullshit." Kota cursed.

"Language!" Izuku scolded.

"But it's true!" Kota said. "And even if it was true! Why us! We're not heroes or champions or whatever! Why not give to a hero! Or I don't know, an adult!?"

"I have yet to find any adult man or woman who both had a pure enough soul, except for one man, who already had so much power." The wizard explained. "As for why I choose you three."

He looked at Izuku. "You have had a heroic spirit since the beginning. And despite your struggles and your setbacks, and even facing all the horrors the world has thrown at you, you have remained pure, unbroken. You refuse to steal even if you must starve, you refuse to hurt others even if they hurt you, and put people first even if you must put yourself at risk."

Izuku was now crying tears of joy. No one had ever praised him like that before. Not since his mom...not since she died.

He turned to Eri. "You have been through horror's that would break the minds of most men, and yet you, a child, remain strong. You did not run from those men because of what they would do to you, but because of what they would do to others, using you. You have no reason to want to help anyone and yet you do, because you are pure."

Eri flinched and became flustered. She had never been praised like that. Ever.

And then he turned to Kota. "And you, despite your pain, despite your words and despite even your thoughts, when the time came you acted immediately to save another person, a stranger to you, and put yourself at risk to do so."

Kota turned away. "Tch, not like I wanted to save her or anything that guy was just a creep who needed to get punched."

"You three are worthy, now place your hands on the staff, and say my name," Shazam repeated.

Izuku was obviously all in, but the other two remained hesitant.

"Come on guys." Izuku pleaded. "If we do this then Eri won't need to worry about those people that were chasing her!"

Eri's eyes widened. She had never even considered it...fighting Overhaul. It just seemed to be an insane idea...but...if she took this power, then maybe, just maybe she could defend herself from him. And she'd never have to go back to that room again."

Slowly, Eri made her way over to Shazam and grabbed his staff.

"Kota! Kota! Kota please!" Izuku begged his best friend.

"Ugh!" Kota groaned, marching over and grabbing the staff. "Nothing is gonna happen anyway, so why not?"

"Now, say my name and you will be imbued with a fraction of the wisdom of Solomen! The strength of Hercules! The stamina of Atlas! The power of Zeus! The fortitude of Achilles! And the speed of Mercury!" The wizard said.

"And who are those?" Kota asked.

"Just say the name already!" Shazam said getting more and more irritated by Kota.

Three looked at each other before looking back at the wizard and saying. "Shazam."

CRACKOOM!

Suddenly three bolts of lightning, stuck down where each of the children stood, and engulfed them in a flash of light.

"AH! Enough with the lights!" Kota complained.

And then he realized that his voice was no longer his voice, it was now much different.

"I feel weird," Eri said, her voice also surprising her, with how mature it suddenly became.

"What happened?" Izuku asked as they all opened their eyes.

And then the changes became much more evident.

Where the children once stood were now fully grown adults, looking to be in about their mid to early twenties. All wearing strange hero-like costumes.

Izuku was now a large, muscular man standing at almost seven feet tall, with a wide chest and large beefy arms and legs; it appears that puberty had big plans for the boy. His hair remained basically the same however his face lost all trace of cuteness in exchange for a more defined handsome face, while still keeping the freckles. His costume was mostly emerald green, except his white cape and hood, his black belt and boots, and the white lightning bolt on his chest.

Kota in comparison to Izuku was lean with a thinner but still muscular body, and at a far more average height. His hair had also gone mostly unchanged but his face did become more mature, looking very much like his father. His costume was mostly blue, except white boots, a belt, a cape, and a hood as well as the white lightning bolt on his chest.

Eri was the shortest of the group before and she still was, being about half a head shorter than Kota, and quite a bit shorter than Izuku. Out of them all, she seemed the most petite, but if you looked closer you could see that she still had a lot of muscle. Like the others, her hair was unchanged but her face did mature, although she did still maintain most if not all of her cute factor. Her costume was mostly red except for some gold trimming that lined parts of her costume, and her golden boots. Unlike the boys, instead of pants, she was wearing a skirt.

The three of them looked at their newly changed bodies in shock and awe, all of them at loss for words.

The first one to snap out of it was Izuku, who got a huge grin on his face. As he could feel the new power in his body. "It worked! It worked!"

Suddenly, Izuku sprinted towards the wizard, moving so fast he became a green blur. "Thank you so much for-wait a minute do I have super speed!"

Izuku started running around the cave, at amazing speeds, putting most top heroes to shame. "I HAVE A QUIRK!"

Eri meanwhile still, wasn't used to the tingly feeling in her bodies, particularly in her hands. She raised them up, only for lightning to suddenly burst out of her palms and hit the roof of the cave.

"EAP!" Eri jumped back, freaked out by her own power.

"Ok. Magic...maybe he wasn't lying." Kota admitted, only for Izuku to suddenly appear in front of him "Ah!"

"Of course he wasn't lying! Look at us! This is so cool! I feel like I could fly!" Izuku gushed, however, he suddenly stopped, as he realized he had started to float. "Oh my god, I can fly!"

Izuku took off and started flying really fast in a circle above everyone.

"Oh." Suddenly everyone stopped and looked back at the wizard, who had fallen face-first on the ground.

Izuku gassed and zipped over to him. "Mr. Shazam!"

Krakoom!

Suddenly Izuku was hit by another lightning bolt and was returned to his true form. "Huh? Where did the magic go!?"

"Ohhh." Shazam groaned as he rolled over. "Your power is not permanent, Anytime you say my name, you transform either into your champion form or your original body."

"Oh uh, Shazam!" Izuku shouted.

Krakoom!

The lightning hit Izuku again, and he turned back into his more powerful adult state. The boy sighed with relief that his newfound power had not been taken so quickly.

Shazam coughed. "Come here children, quickly."

Kota and Eri followed his instructions and walked over to the fallen old man.

Izuku was about to help him back up, but the wizard stopped him. "Do not bother children. My time has come."

"W-what does that mean?" Izuku asked him, his voice laced with concern.

"It means I am about to die," Shazam explained.

Kota and Eri frowned, feeling horrible about watching a man die right in front of them.

"Is there anything we can do?" Izuku asked, tears spilling from his eyes.

"No, it is simply an aging child, nothing can be done about it...well." The wizard looked at Eri. "Not nothing per say, but I do wish to be saved regardless. It is my time. Now hear me, I have much to tell you."

All three of them stood silent, ready to hear whatever he had to say.

"Firstly, none of you are at full power yet." The wizard said. "Your bodies will take time to adapt. And you can only use your powers so much until your bodies completely adapt. Your powers will grow as you do. Learn them well."

"We will sir." Izuku sniffed, still upset about someone dying right in front of him.

"And secondly, with my death, the seals me and the others had placed upon the many great evils in the world, will be undone." The wizard explained. "Slowly, but surely they will break free, and you will need to stop them."

"Wait what great evils?" Kota asked. "What are they? Where are they? How-"

"It is time." The wizard said faintly. "Goodbye children, learn how to use your powers, and become great heroes."

And with those last words, the wizard closed his eyes, and his breathing stopped.

The three of them stood there in silence, for several minutes.

Eventually, Kota spoke up, with the important question of. "So...how are we gonna get out of here?"

Karckoom!

All three of them were hit with lightning, and then suddenly they were no longer in the cave, they were back in the train with all the people back in it.

Everyone gasped at the sudden appearance of the three, with many of them asking lots of questions.

The trio was too confused to answer any of them, as they didn't know what just happened either.

Then the doors opened and people filed out of the train and into the station, and Izuku, Kota, and Eri dazedly followed, still not sure what just happened or what to do next.

And then they heard a familiar voice.

"Eri? Where are you!?"

All their heads turned towards the voice and saw that the masked man and his goons were here, looking for her.

The masked man looked up, and spotted her, and was shocked to see the now older looking Eri.

"Eri?" The man said, still in shock.

At that moment, she panicked.

"Go away!" Eri shouted bringing her arms up, she shot out a bolt of lightning at the man.

The bolt hit and he was sent flying backward, hitting the ground unconscious as his chest emitted smoke.

"AHHHHHH!" All the civilians panicked and started running away, at the sight of a quirk being used in a "villainous" way.

Eri looked down at her hands in shock, and then back at the masked man. "I...I did that? I…"

"They hit the boss! Kill 'em!" One of the goons shouted.

They both took out pistols, causing Kota and Eri to freeze up in terror, but Izuku's protective instinct activated and he stood in front of the both of them.

BANG BANG BANG!

The pistols fired, and the bullets hit Izuku.

Only to bounce off, doing no harm to him.

Izuku blinked, he was frozen in shock for a moment, before his big smile returned. "I'm bulletproof!"

The goons kept firing at Izuku, but the bullets did nothing to him.

Not knowing he had nothing to fear from the bullets' Kota, moving faster than the blink of an eye(and the bullets funnily enough), grabbed both guns and crushed them with his bare hands.

"Looks like we have super strength too!" Kota assessed, with a devilish grin on his face.

He then proceeded to flick both goons in the chest, sending them flying into a wall.

"Haha! Take that assholes!" Kota laughed mockingly.

"Language!" Izuku scolded.

"Oh come on I'm an adult I can swear!" Kota argued.

"Bad words make for bad feelings!" Izuku told him.

Before the argument could progress any further, someone called out to them.

"What's going on here!"

All three of them turned their attention to the speaker, the pro hero, Death Arms.

"Oh my god, it's Death Arms!" Izuku squealed, which sounded super weird with his much deeper voice.

"Hey hero, you're late." Kota mocked. "We already took care of the bad guys."

Death Arms looked at the unconscious villains. "Okay, let me see your hero licenses."

"Uh...we kinda...don't...have...any." Izuku nervously admitted. He had a bad feeling he knew where this was going.

"Well, then I'm gonna have to take you in." Death Arms said, moving towards them.

Kota smirked and started walking towards the hero. "I'd like to see you try, hero."

"Resisting arrest huh? Well buddy you asked for it!" Death Arms cocked his fist back and brought it forward intending to punch Kota in the face with his enhanced strength. Seeing the bullets on the floor told him they had some form of enhanced durability, so he didn't need to hold back much.

However, much to the shock of almost everyone, Kota brought his hand forward and stopped the attack, catching the hero's fist.

FWOOSH!

A slight wind blew in Kota's face due to the force from Death Arms punch, but this did nothing but make his cape flow.

Death Arms was shocked, he had not expected someone to just outright block one of his punches.

Kota smirked confidently. If magic was apparently real and he'd gotten his powers from a wizard then he was pretty sure he was stronger than Death Arms. A hypothesis that had been proven right.

"My turn," Kota said, his devilish grin growing wider.

"Wha-" At speeds, not even a pro hero could react to, Kota uppercut Death Arm's jaw.

FWOOM!

Death arms were sent flying through the roof and high into the sky. The room filled with wind as the punch was so great that it stirred up the air around him.

Izuku gasped. "Death Arms!"

The green boy...man flew up through the roof to chase the hero.

After a few seconds, Izuku caught up to the hero and caught him before he could start falling.

"Oh my god death arms I'm so sorry he didn't mean to do that. He's a nice guy but he's kinda a jerk sometimes and-oh you're asleep." Izuku realized that the hero had actually been knocked out by the punch, and not only that but his jaw was broken.

"Wow," Kota said as he and Eri flew up to Izuku. "I didn't even hit him as hard I could."

"Kota you KO'd Death Arms!" Izuku shouted.

"I know right!" Kota cheered, either not getting or ignoring the panic in Izuku's voice.

"Um, if we beat up a hero, does that mean we're villains?" Eri asked fearfully.

Kota's smile dropped, as the realization of what he'd just done.

"Let's just get him to a hospital and we'll figure out everything at home," Izuku suggested.

"Do you know where to find a hospital?" Kota asked.

"Um...no," Izuku said dejectedly, however, his mood brightened when he noticed police cars and a few ambulances showing up below them at the station. "But they do!"

Izuku flew down towards the ambulance, with the other two following him.

"Hi! Hey!" Izuku says gaining the attention of all the police and paramedics. "I uh...we accidentally knocked out Death Arms...sorry about that. His jaw is broken so I'm just gonna leave him right here."

Izuku placed Death Arms next to a stunned paramedic.

"So uh...bye!" Izuku flew off at top speed, with Kota and Eri following him.

Later, elsewhere.

"Ah, we're finally here!" Izuku said.

The three of them had flown over to an abandoned, mostly destroyed mansion located at the forest at the edge of the city.

"Where...are we?" Eri asked.

"Home," Kota answered simply, as they flew down towards the building.

"It used to belong to some rich villains, but the heroes attacked them and took them all to jail," Izuku explained. "The mansion was abandoned. Me and Kota heard about it and decided to stay here."

As they landed, Eri could see more signs of the battle that had taken place. There were holes and cracks everywhere, some rooms were mostly destroyed, while others stayed somewhat intact. There were burns in seemingly random places as well as some other signs of fighting.

When they reached the door, Izuku had an idea.

"Let's turn back to normal for now," Izuku suggested. "The wizard says our powers are limited so we shouldn't use these forms unless we need them."

Kota and Eri thought about it for a moment, before nodding their heads in agreement.

"SHAZAM!"

Three bolts of lightning came down, turning them all back into children.

They walked in and after a bit of trecking, they reached Izuku and Kota's room. Which was like all the other rooms, but it had two mattresses in it.

"Whew." Izuku and Kota finally let themselves breathe, and seeing the two boys she now trusted start to relax, Eri lowered her guard a bit as well and released the tension she was holding on to.

They were finally home, finally safe.

Now, what were they gonna do?

Ok, you may have noticed I replaced "the courage of Achilles" with "the fortitude of Achilles". That's because the whole courage thing is dumb and let's face it Shazam does not always act with "the courage of Achilles" it would also make a lot of plot holes so I replace it.

Also, I gave Izuku a green suit. His name means green, he looks better in green, Eri gets the red suit.

Anyway, please review and have a nice day.
