"Now lift that fridge off of the beach and onto the truck."
"What!? I can't, I'm only able to lift cans and bottles and suddenly we're dealing with fridges?"
"We don't have the luxury with time Young Midoriya, if you think you can achieve anything at the UA entrance exams in a month's time you can dream on and start planning in a career in the support department, I'm sure you'll do well there with your over analytical mind"
Izuku opens both of his palms and points it at the fridge, trying to recall what Master Windu has taught him, calm down, close your eyes, empty your mind, imagine something that's connected to his hand forming a field around the fridge, and slowly lift.
Izuku has been training for the past year on mastering the force, it was quite the slow process at first, he was forced to meditate, not knowing what to meditate to, eventually finding out that he was able to lift things with the force, similar to how his mother is able to attract small things. He was so excited that day that he even blurted it out to his mother showing her what he could do, by attracting a small paperclip on the table to him. The Midoriya residence that day was flooded, finally unlocking the quirk that he always wanted. It was good too, having the force be so similar to his mother was really easy to write it off as a quirk being passed on.
Since then, he was helping out cleaning up the beach, by lifting and using the force whenever possible. Over the months he has also increased his eating to gain some muscles, can't exactly be a Hero when looking like a wet noodle that flops around when trying to lift or push anything of relevance, some muscle would be required when needed, Windu even taught him how to use the force to surround himself to give a small temporary boost to strength and speed, but it was far too taxing to Izuku to keep using it. First time he used it, he felt a burst of speed for 20 seconds, he felt he was able to do anything, lift anything in sight, after that Izuku was basically too exhausted to do anything for the rest of the day.
Windu said he could enrol in other martial arts so when he doesn't have a weapon in his hand to defend himself with he won't be so useless, he talked about how even with the force punching through Armor isn't a problem, gave a couple of scrap cars that day a real beatdown, it was like that level from street fighter but cooler!
The past few months he also picked up Sword fighting at the recommendation of Master Windu, visiting one of the nearby Dojos that teaches marital arts, it was kinda weird, why would he need to learn sword fighting when having a telekinesis type power?
Enrolled in some Kendo lessons for beginners he was trained in simple sword stances, when with Windu he learnt "Saber forms" he had no idea where he came up with this stuff especially when Kendo and the internet don't seem to have any references to "form 1" and "form 2" which Master Windu uses, but regardless he learnt whatever he could for now. No point questioning Master Windu, half the things he spouts seems to not make sense to Izuku, but regardless he was the only choice Midoriya had to become a Hero and it seem to be working, how else would he be able to launch a can which was 5 meters away from him at a faraway target over 50 meters distance? It wasn't a possible challenge even with his own strength before he started training with master Windu.
Last month Master Windu even asked me to deflect airsoft pellets being fired by airsoft guns around him with a shinai, sounds simple enough just a harder version of baseball, even wearing a mask for protection… only for the mask to not be see through!? How the hell am I supposed to deflect anything without my eyes? It was quite a painful day being pelted by airsoft bbs the whole day.
In school the bullying seemed to cool down for some reason, Bakugou wasn't so aggressive towards the rest of the class since the sludge villain attack. That gave Izuku more breathing room when it comes to his stamina, don't need to deal with Bakugou and gang nonsense when the leader wasn't so aggressive against everyone anymore, something else must have caught his attention.
Master Windu is interesting as well, he doesn't seem to like to have idle chat, his scars even initially made Izuku think he was a Villain in hiding. But after so much time spent with him, Izuku can tell he's a good man, just very cautious. Sometimes Izuku asks about his past and he always tends to brush it off with some sort of excuse.
What Izuku can gather was that he's definitely not local, he hasn't even eaten Katsudon!? How is that possible, the best dish EVER!
The fridge starts vibrating, causing a rattling noise that can be heard even from a distance.
Windu raises his eyebrow, as one of the legs of the fridge lifted off the sands.
"GAAAHHHH" sounded out into the vicinity before the sound of falling to the ground was heard.
"I can't, it's too big" Izuku huffed out
"It's because you don't believe"
"W-whatt? I believed that I could before I tried! as you said"
"Not with that fake ass believe you're trying to cheat yourself with young Midoriya, at this rate, you won't even score a single point in the practical exams"
"b-but"
"But what? By tossing cans and bottles at those robots and hoping they go pop? Even B1 battle droids can take that shit, and a simple gust of wind would probably take them out."
"What are these droids you speak about master Windu?"
"Ah forget what I said, just some common rubbish that I had to deal with before I came here, take a break young Midoriya" waving one hand at Midoriya to relax.
"I don't mean to protrude Master Windu, but you've never told me where you were before you came here" Izuku continues to try his luck.
"It's none of your business, now take a break and clear you mind Young Midoriya, the day is just starting."
…
The next day he was at the Dojo he visits for his martial arts lessons.
"Ah Midoriya, come, prepare yourself, we're training and sparring with students from other Dojos again"
Izuku nods and sounds off that he acknowledges to the sensei, moving down to the main hall, he's continuing the day by sparring with a few random students from other prefectures in karate.
...
At the end of the day after changing out his attire, heavy rain pours into the night. Izuku waits for the rain to subside before going home, how can he be so careless to leave the umbrella at home!.
"Hey" startling Izuku, panning around it's one of the other students from a different prefecture. Orange hair with teal eyes staring right into his, she seems to be around the same height and age as himself, prett-.
"ah, er ah yu" Izuku blurts out, nice going Izuku 10/10 for effort.
"Ah sorry for startling you like that, you're that kid from the local dojo right? The one that seems to hesitate when matched with girls." The orange hair girl commented with a smile.
"mmmmee? Hesiitta-" Izuku continues
"You shouldn't tease a fellow martial artist like this, Kendo-san, especially when he's a yellow belt" a blonde figure with a tail followed behind the orange hair girl. Izuku remembers, both of them were black belts in fighting on the senior side of the hall.
"Name's Ojiro, Mashirao Ojiro, you are?" The tail man said.
"a-hh, Ojrio-san, my name is Izuku Midoriya, n-nice to meet you" Izuku replied
"I'm Itsuka Kendo by the way, nice to meet you as well." The orange hair girl added on.
"Aah Kkendo-san, thank you both for coming over to our dojo to pppractice, we don't have many students to sspar with so it was a great opportunity to learn what he may hhhave missssed" Izuku brightly said but a few shutters.
"Please don't need to thank us, we're just glad we're able to reach out to different dojos to experience different masters and their point of view. Helps prepare ourselves for Hero school" Ojiro comments.
"Hero school? Both of you are applying to Hero school?" Izuku replied
"Yup, both of us are aiming for UA, an-" Kendo replied
Immediately Izuku brightened up, plastering the biggest smile on his face, reaching to his back and whipping out his notebook.
"WHOA, UA!? SAME I'll be going to the UA ENTRANCE EXAM NEXT MONTH, WHAT ARE YOUR QUIRKS, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TRAINING FOR IT, ARE THERE OTHERS APPLYING AS WELL? WHAT'S YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOL? WHA-'' Izuku continues to interrogate the two of them
"Whoa whoa whoa, too many questions asked, at the same time, Kendo-san a little help? As Izuku continues to fire off question after question.
CHOP As Izuku wakes up to the little chop from Kendo to the top of his head pausing Izuku from continuing his barrage.
"aha, sorry, just got a little excited there" Izuku says as he collects himself
"You don't say" as Ojiro scratches his cheek.
"So you're also applying for UA huh?" Kendo asks
"Y-yeah, I a-am, H-hero c-course s-specifically"
"Cool, maybe we'll see each other there, we can compete to see who will destroy the most robots" Kendo says as she slams her fist into the palm of her other hand playfully.
"y-yeah! W-We could" Izuku smiles.
"You were asking about our quirks, right? I have a tail, I guess that's pretty much it haha, it's pretty strong, I think able to bash steel in pretty easy, tom boy there have inflatable hand" Ojiro jokes
"Oh, you're so going down the next time we meet for a spar, just wait till you meet the end of my inflatable hands, and who you're calling a tom boy" she frowns
"I'm just joking chill, you've already bashed my face in a couple of times just now"
"What's a couple of times more for you?" Kendo smirks.
"nothing, I can do this all day" Ojiro snaps
"Both of you already know each other?" Izuku asks.
"Yeah, we do alright, we've been sparring partners at rival dojos for the past decade or so, always the annoying guy who never gives up after getting his ass handed to him" Kendo said
"Yup, I mean, our dojos was just a couple of streets down from each other, whatever the Kendo family sees us participate in, they make sure they're there to beat get their asses beaten down" Ojiro snarked
"Such is life when the 2 of us are aiming for the same thing."
"So, what's your quirk Midoriya-san, we mentioned ours, just curious about yours" Ojiro asks
Izuku paused, other than his mother, he has always dodged this question when people ask, not sure how to explain the force to people especially when anyone strong in it can actually use it with practice… a lot of practice… just like martial arts in a way. But the both of them he can sense isn't strong in the force in anyway, after learning from Master Windu on how to use force sense telling him to use it whenever he can to hone his abilities, but he still can't seem tell the difference between light and dark as his master said it was able to, only thing he seem to get was how much of a ripple each person cause in the force which he assume was how strong in the force each one was considering Windu force was basically a tidal wave from his point of view whilst basically everyone he's met was calm waves.
"Umm, it's like telekinesis, I can pull, push and float objects with my hands" Izuku explains briefly, he doesn't know if the other 2 would buy it, he's never expected to explain his "gift" to others before, the others at school always regarded him as a quirkless loser and avoided him anyway
"Oh, cool, those heard those abilities are common, but when it's really good, it really stands out, with ample training you could move tons of things" Ojiro said
Izuku releases his breath thinking they bought that his powers was telekinesis and was a quirk.
Kendo adds on "So you live nearby? We occasionally come by the dojos in this area and haven't seen you before"
"Y-Yeah, I stay in Musutafu, haven't really went to other dojos to s-spar with others considering I'm still n-new to this"
"It's ok, pretty nice to stay so near to the school you're aiming for huh? I stay in the Chiba area and he in Tokyo, but close enough to each other to beat the shit out of each other often, been coming by Musutafu area more often personally to prepare for UA" Kendo adds.
"Y-yeah it is hhaha, live just 10 minutes from this dojo, so it's c-convenient."
"Great" suddenly says Kendo "it means you know the area, what's good around this area?"
Puzzled by her question "W-What's good?"
"Food silly, wanna hang out over dinner after the rain lets up? Good to know each other once all of us are in UA" Kendo smiles as she says looking at Izuku.
Izuku was shocked, he's never asked to go out with his friends for a meal before, it's a weird feeling being in this position, never really felt that way, small amounts of anxiety starts fuelling his mind, unsure what to do and say, chest starts feeling a sense of panic.
Clear your mind
Izuku repeats in his mind, calming himself, looking at Kendo before saying
"I know this Beef bowl place that's really good" smiling excitedly.
…
"What are you so happy about?" Inko asks as Izuku eats breakfast happily, toast in the in his mouth gleefully eating with one eye looking at the phone, last night was one of his most eventful nights of his life thus far, eating with a couple of friends, they even gave him their numbers, first time a girl gave him a number!
"Ahh, it's nothing, I just made friends at the Dojo that's also planning to go to UA"
"MY BABY IS FINALLY GROWING UP!, IS IT A GIRL!? YOU MA IS TOO YOUNG TO BE A GRANDMA~, YOU GOT-"
Spitting out his milk that he was still drinking in the air replying" WHAT? NO Mum, it's not like that" Izuku says in a panic
Yeah, that was also a very eventfully morning for the Midoriyas
…
"Young Midoriya, it seems you're in a better mood"
"What? Why does everyone say that today?"
"For one you seem to be giggling whenever you're on your phone, my best guess is you've found some good friends"
"haha, it was that obvious huh Master Windu"
"Yeah it was, but I'm not against it, you've seem to make more progress today, so i would say socializing would do your progress some good"
"Yeah, but even with this much progress there's no way I'll be able to clear the beach at this rate, I don't think the truck would even be able to make so many trips to the recycling centre either."
"True, but it's alright, it seems you're not the only one clearing the beach recently."
"I'm not?!"
"Yes, an acquaintance of mine also had the bright idea to train his student like how we are doing"
"Whoa, is his student also like me?"
"Like you as strong in the force? No, the student is not strong in the force, however my acquaintance is" Izuku piqued at that little bit of rare information Master Windu is suddenly giving him, seems like a good day for him.
"Are we going to meet them? Maybe we can even team up to clear the beach faster, master" Izuku responded.
"No, I've already made arrangements with them a while ago, we will clear the south beach while they clear the north"
"Is the student also planning to be a Hero like me?"
"Yes, I've met the student, and I sense good in them and with the goal of being a hero, no doubt the both of you will meet eventually"
"Wow, looks like I have something to look forward to master" Izuku smiles to Windu
"Indeed, young Midoriya"
Knowing Midoriya, he would probably have a mental breakdown if he knew who my acquaintance was, nevertheless amusing to be approached by him, asking how to train a student. Who knew even a Hero of his level needed to take advice from me? How time has passed since my first meeting with him?
***Flashback***
"R4, find us a suitable landing point, somewhere easy to hide ourselves."
"Beeep Duuuuu"
Mace Windu, sitting on the passenger seat of the ship, one hand on the stump of the other, hooded up in a way that is hard to see his face, it was risky taking the publicly available route to Dantooine, but it's not like he had many other choice, the Republic ships are all tracked but he was able to forge a chain code to get onto the transport. He thought of fleeing to other planets, Tython came to mind, but it was too obvious for him to flee to that system. Nar Shaddaa was also another option, no one's gonna notice him among billions of others that look just as homeless as him. But he wanted to see what he could salvage from the old temple on Dantooine before entering exile.
Looking through the terminals in the Jedi archives on Dantooine, looking for a planet one that would seem easy to hide in, he spotted earth, a planet that is still developing, full of abilities and is on the not to disturb list. He takes the planet coordinates and delete all records that indicate that he was ever there.
He needed to move now, it's just a matter of time before the clones patrol this area again. Moving to the underground hangar, seeing many different ships that the order has collected over the years.
He looks at R4, a droid that serves him after the battle of coruscant. "Find me a working ship in the decommissioned hanger" he knows the ships there are not important enough for his pursuers to even notice was gone, but still in working condition, albeit in bad shape.
"Duuuu!" as the robot spits out a data pad.
Windu grabs the data pad with his one hand and takes one look at the ship that his droid found.
"Really? This is the only ship?"
"Ssssuuuuu"
"Why would they plan to recommission this ship?"
"Doo Doo"
It doesn't matter, it was working, in bad shape but was able to fly at a moment's notice and it was fast, for its time at least.
Entering the garage, he looks at his ride out, the Ebon Hawk.
"EEEEEeeeuuuuu"
Hold it together R4, we need to land this quietly!
"Bbbbbweeee! Beeeeeduuu" the droid screams
"What did you mean the engine have a failure?" Shit, what could have gone wrong is going wrong.
"Prepare the escape pods R4!"
"Beeeeeduuu"
"What about the emergency repulsors?"
"Beeeeeduuu"
"Fly by wire?"
"Beeeeeduuu"
"Well what's not damaged?"
"Eeeepooooo"
"Motherfu…Why would I need that now?" Windu screams
"Whatever just land as smoothly as possible on the nearest landmass"
The ship which was trying it's best to stay in control started to enter the earth's atmosphere, slowly giving sight to Windu an island that he can land on, preferably somewhere in the middle. The ship begins to pull up in an attempt to crash land on its landing gear and belly.
..
From a distance a few shadowy figures see a fireball heading straight for the forest by the side of the mountain, shocked, they dial in a number on their phone.
"Hello, You've reac-"
"Patch me to the boss"
*GRRRRUARSHHHHH*
A sound of a crash filled the air, the side of that fireball hit the side of the mountain and started barrelling towards the ground before crashing and coming to a halt in the forest.
The 4 of them nodded to each other before jumping off the watchtower they were perched on.
It's been a bad few days for Windu, betrayed by the very thing he was protecting, betrayed by the people he once considered a comrade, and betrayed by the person he trusted and now crash landing in this forest, one of the hardest crashes he has been in.
"dam, ship had to blow the moment that matters the most, R4, that wasn't a smooth landing i asked for" as he rub the back of his head which took an impact when the ship landed "R4, get me a system diagnostics of the ship"
Only the sound of sparks and fire filled the room, Windu looked around, his vision was blury but he could still somewhat see, before looking at the spot where the droid once was, still in one piece, good, maybe it turned off when the ship landed.
"R4, help me out of here"
He did not get a response.
"Knowing my luck he's wrecked by something" as he crawls out of the seat, taking a look at the droid. "great, just my luck" R4 was crushed by debris almost completely destroying it. He reached to the back of the wreck of a droid looking for where the memory core was, dam, it's dented and protruding something, plugging it out. It may be useful eventually if he can get the resources.
Looking around the ship was in bad shape, literally, it doesn't seem like it's in one piece anymore as he tries to crawl to the neck of the ship, the main hold was completely missing, he don't even know where it went, all he saw was trees fire and debris littering the forest he crashed into. Dam, this certainly is a shit situation to be in, no food, no water and no idea where he is. Crawling out onto the dirt he laid on the ground to get a breather flipping himself up to see the night sky.
Well, at least the archives were right about the atmosphere, breathable without any gadgets. Slowly he hears branch cracking, he senses the presence of life forms around him, slowly approaching, he has no idea if they are animals or living being, could be bandits that comes by to loot whatever's crashed, could be large cats ready to pounce on him, he tries to summon his strength to get up before he hears.
Don't Move
Telepathy? A force user? But he doesn't sense anyone with a strong enough presence nearby.
We're here to help
Windu has no clue if the voice in his head speaks the truth, he doesn't know. Sensing a being right behind him, he can feel that being hand reaching out as he looks up.
" Hey there, don't move, we don't know how injurt you are, relax, just stay with me, heroes are here to help you " This brown hair female spoke to him in basic, good he thinks, this world humans also knows how to speak basic. Sensing another being next to him, seems to be a girl with green hair looking right at him, he sensed no danger from the 2 of them.
"Odd, his profile is not showing up on my search." the green-haired one spoke in a different language, what language is that? Why are they suddenly speaking in a different language?
"I did, worldwide search, he's not showing up on anything"
"Yeah, it's only him I detect, I don't see anyone else"
Who is she talking to, I don't see anyone else talking to her Windu thought, before slowly sitting up
" Whoa whoa, don't move yet, are you able to speak ?"
" Yeah, I am, who are you ?"
" We're local Heroes in the area, help is on the way, do you know where you came from ?"
What? Heroes? Where did I came from? Shoot I forgot that this planet has not made contact with any other parts of the galaxy, if I'm found out I could meet fate worse than death.
" I… don't remember "
" Ok no worries, there might have been a concussion, just don't move too much, you don't seem too hurt, but we can't be too careful. Was there anyone else with you ?"
Interrogation? No, are they the local peacekeeping force?
" No "
" Good, means we got everyone accounted for. Don't worry about anything else, we'll sort this out at the medical centre "
Laying down on a white bed with all kinds of weird things now stuck to him, it seems this is the local way to healing and monitoring the injured, seems kind of slow when compared to a bacta tank, but it'll have to do, he doesn't have enough strength to use the force to heal himself nor does he wants to expose himself so quickly. But he never felt this good since his last defeat, no point wasting this opportunity.
After a small wait, he senses something, a strong presence in the force stronger than the average force sensitive, the door opens to his room, panning to see, he sees a blonde hair with an out of this world hairstyle, with a big ass smile, and an overly built body. He walks to the side of the bed. Windu senses good though, an alarming amount of good, he doesn't know if he's a force user and is using force conceal, disguising himself as a light side user, and he's practically radiating the force.
" Seems you took quite a hit mister, you may have suffered a concussion, but I heard you speak English, Do you remember your name? "
" Yeah, my na- " Windu stops, he doesn't know if giving away his name would compromise him in the future, the archives stated the planet has not been visited, doesn't mean what remains of the republic won't follow him. " me…. Is… I-i can't remember "
" It's all good, mister, it was one of the harshest crashes I saw on video, you were lucky we had Heroes in the area to quickly find you ." Windu looked at All Might and raised an eyebrow " I- ah I forgot to introduce myself, apologies, you might not remember who I am " suddenly his smile became even wider " Name's All Might ".
Chapter 2 Notes:
Now first thing I would like to address, romance, there will be one between Izuku and someone I tagged the two I think I want to try with but it's still early days, it will be a straight relationship, I have no idea how to write anything other than that, there will also be other relationships in the background, all of it will be hinted or explicit. This chapter is setting a small foundation for social links between all the characters.
