Not even gonna try to explain where I've been but just know those stories are not entirely dead if you are waiting on them I'm just trying to find inspiration right now but I have to write this and see if it sticks but then I'll decide which stories I I should write by picking two writing a few chapters each then alternating so any ways let me know if y'all like this let's begin
00000000000000000
"Not all men are created equal that is a truth I would learn at the tender age of four my first ever setback"
"But that's not where this story begins it begins just a few months earlier... when I had entered a world beyond my comprehension"
0000000000000000
A lone child walking through the forest on a summers shaggy green hair and a freckled face with green eyes in a shirt and shorts with a cage and net walking down trodden across the path by his lonesome
"Man it stinks Kacchan was busy today... but catching not a whole lot of fun when your by yourself" the boy said to himself even more down then he previously was
As the boy kept walking and walking staring down at nothing but the road and how own two feet
"Well maybe if I catch something cool I can show it to him" the boy said trying to cheer himself up
With a new vigor the boy started looking up and venturing deeper into the woods looking for bugs
"Would Kacchan think this is cool?"
And looking
"Not this one"
And looking
"Man I can't find anything cool"
And looking some more
"Man I can't find anything today" the boy said down trodden
"Maybe...maybe I should just go home for today" the boy said as he turned to go home a shine from the corner of his eye stopping him in his tracks
As the boy turned around he saw the shine again
"Huh what was that?" The boy asked
As the boys Curiosity got the better of him he slowly got closer to the shine until he saw what looked like a beetle with a golden heart on it
"Ahh cool if I catch that and show it to Kacchan" the boy said with new found excitement the boy grabbed his net and began approaching the bug slowly and slowly as to not scare it off slowly inching closer and closer before finally
"I-I got you" as you the boy threw his net
To miss at the last second as the beetle flies up and dodged the net
"H-huh" the boy said surprised the beetle dodge
The beetle seemed to wait as if it was observing the boy staring at him before flying off
"H-hey wait c-come back!"the boy said in panic of losing it
As the boy saw the beetle fly off the boy gave chase not caring where the beetle was going or how tired he was
"H-hold *huff* on w-wait" the boy said running out of breath
As the boy continued to follow the bug all the way Into a cave eventually it got darker and darker as the beetles gold heart started to dimly glow being the only light soruce to izuku bring him to a halt as the nettle flew farther away before the boy spoke
"I-I don't care how d-dark it is I'm gonna be a hero and I can let something like the darkness stop me" the boy said determined
With a new found sense of courage the boy continued to run keeping his hand close to a wall but following the glowing heart in the beetles back all the same
As he continued following for what felt like almost half and hour it finally started to get brighter and brighter the more the boy kept going forward following the beetle until finally he made it to what seemed like a big opening in the cave with a hole shining down light from the top
"W-what is this place?"the boy aid in curiosity
But for now his curiosity would have to wait as in the center right under the hole stood something point out of the ground like a sword or blade but wierdly shapen jagged and rusting metal
Farther up all the way to the faded brown grip and fading dark green hilt say what the boy had bee following all this time the beetle the fruit of his labor
"I-I've got it now" the boy said slowly picking up and holding his net tightly moving ever so slowly as to not scare the bug off inching closer and closer to the bug before finally
As if planning this the bug golden heart shined a bright blinding light at the boy as he was stepping in mid swing
"W-what the what's going on" the boy said before closing his eyes as tight as he could "my eyes" he yelled
As the light shined the boy mid step in his swing throwing him of balance as he tries to shield his eyes from the blinding light only to fall unable to catch him self
"Ahh!" the boy said falling to the ground still covers by his face trying to keep the light out only to feel himself lose balance and fall to the ground onto the rocks
And as quick as the beetles light had appeared it was gone with the beetle gone and a chain with a beetle on the end of the blade
Meanwhile the light now gone leaving the boy on the ground disoriented and stinging with pain
"O-ow that hurt" the boy said as he tried to get up
Looking for anything to help him stand the boy had grabbed the handle of the blade for leverage
"You're light"
The boy hearing this cause a wave of fear and panic to go over him as he stands much faster
"W-what the...H-hello is someone there" the boy says now spooked looking around backing up slowly
Backing up slower and slower until his back had touched to the blade
"The light from your heart has awoken me"
Hearing the voice again the boy jumps back turning around hoping to see and gain some distance from whoever is stalking him
Only to see the blade embedded in the ground
"W-what is going on?!" He said frightened
As the boy tries to figure out what just happened he notices the blade now had a chain on it and at the end of it a familiar looking bug
"H-hey isn't that the beetle I was chasing?"
Now more confused than anything the boy reaches for the beetle to inspect it grabbing it
"Your heart is the key"
Hearing the voice again after touching the blade the boy jumped back again in fear and surprise inspecting the blade
After seeing the blade still and moving he goes to grab the beetle chain again but this time hearing no voice a silence
Now curios to see if he was just hearing things the boy finally speaks
"Hello is anyone there?" The boy asks
"Hello young one" the voice finally speaks
The boy hearing the voice jumps back a bit more not letting go of the beetle chain
"Um h-hello um I have a question? Are um you this beetle?" The boy asked before hearing an ok
"In a way I am or I should say that the beetle in your hands is apart of me" the voice answered before continuing "but my true form is the very blade you see connected to the beetle" the voice finished
"If that's the case then how are you talking?" the boy said in a thinking manner before his eyes start glowing with excitement "are you someone's quirk!"
"No child I am not what you know as a quirk I am something different" the voice answered with no hesitation
The boy when from shocked to kinda bummed to confused
"B-but wait if you're not a quirk the how are you talking? A-and wasn't I chasing this bug a few minutes ago?" The boy said now with more questions than answers
instead of answering the blade was silent for a bit as if figuring out what to say
Eventually the blade did talk again after finding its answers
"As for your first question I am is what's known as a keyblade a weapon born from and powered the strength of my wielders heart" the weapon now known as a keyblade said before pausing for a second as if to let the boy process what it just said "and as for your second question i had used the beetle from my remaining source of power cause something had awoken me from my slumber" the voice finally finished
The boy now holding the beetle was now in a state of shock and confusion trying to comprehend what he had just heard that apparently this keyblade or what ever it wasn't a quirk and somehow was also the beetle he found
"B-but if your the beetle I found and you said you just woke up so then where's your wielder and what are you hear in the ground" the boy asked
The keyblade was silent for the longest time after the boy heard it speak before the sound of a sad sigh came from the blade before it spoke
"My wielder is unfortunately no longer with us" the blade said with sadness in it voice
"O-oh I'm sorry"sadness filled the boys voice
"Do not be sad child it is not your fault" the blade said trying to reassure the young boy
"I-I know b-but you lost your wielder someone important to you i-it's just so sad" the boy said rubbing his eyes to wipe his small tears away
Hearing the sadness in the boy's voice the keyblade has felt some what touched that someone had felt sympathetic for it
"I thank you boy but it's matters not I have long sense accepted it" the bad said again trying to ease the boy of his sadness "but please if you have more questions feel free to ask it is quite nice to hear someone's voice after so long"
Taken back by the keyblades ability to cheer him up the boy finally speaks "oh um thank you" he says not expecting the keyblade to move on so fast from the subject of its wielder
It didn't take long for the boy to come up with a question "so um what's your name?" The boy asked
"Heh I honestly expected you to ask me that first" the blade said with a hint of amusement in his voice before continuing "but to answer your question I have long since forgotten the name my master once called me a loss of memory from my slumber" the blade answered honestly
"Oh w-wow?!" The boy shocked that someone could forget they're own name from being alone for so long which gave him his own next question
"If you can't remember your own name that how old are you, how long have you been sleeping here?" The boy asked
"while I am unsure of my exact age if I'm certain I've been here for about 100 years give or take" the blade answered him nonchalantly
"100 years! You've been here for that long sleeping!" The boy said shocked more then ever before
"Wait?"
"Hmm? Yes young one what is it?"
"If you've been sleeping here for that long with out your wielder that what about your powers? and what woke you up?" The boy asked even more confused
"Hmm very good question? As for my powers the years have put a toll on me and my powers I have little left and it is dwindling, and as for my awakening I think it was you who did it" the blade answered
"M-me!?" the boy ask genuinely awe struck "I woke you up?" Unable to fathom how "b-but I wasn't even near you until maybe a few minutes ago how did I wake you?" The boy ask now needing to know
"Yes you did awaken me I felt the light from your heart and that awoken me" the keyblade told they boy
"You said that before something about the heart and how your powered by it and also the light in my heart what does that mean?" The boy asked confused
"Ahh yes I had forgotten most people say the heart and the soul are the same thing allow me to explain the soul itself is but and energy source for your body it is your heart that is the collective embodiment of emotions and memories everything you've ever felt and you will ever feel is decided by your heart" the voice explained
The boy trying to wrap his head around this if hearts are just a collection of memories and emotions what power do they hold and does light have to do with it
"But i don't understand if our hearts is just emotions and memories then how do they power anything and what does that have to do with light?" The boy asked
"You see child there are two big forces that keep this world in balance and the forces of light, and the forces of darkness these forces appear in many things such as the hero's you love or the villains you despise" the keyblade said as if explaining something as if it was as basic as breathing
"But I don't understand what that has to do with my heart?" The boy said still failing to grasp the concept
"You see you're heart is something that with all of it's experiences all of the emotions it's felt the emotions it will feel that along with the people around you shaping it will align your heart with one of these two forces which turns those emotions into power" the Keyblade told the child
The boy sat in thought for a moment as if trying to put the pieces together before speaking "so if what you meant when you talked about my light and my heart is that my heart aligned with the light?" The boy asked
"Precisely my boy your heart is as it is intuned with the light itself the blade spoke with joy in his voice
"T-then does that m-mean I can be a hero?" The boy asked with uncertainty
"Hmm what do you mean child"
"W-well you see when I grow up I want to go to a hero school and become a hero but compared to others I'm more timid then the rest and I don't have a lot of courage like others do?" The boy said now a little worried tears starting to form in his eyes
The keyblade at first didn't speak as if figuring out what he should say before finally
"To answer your question I must ask you one as well... why do you wish to be a hero" the blade asked him
"H-huh"
"Tell me child why is it your which to be a hero so bad what is your motivation to become one" the blade asked hoping to hear the correct answer
"well you see I wanna help people" the boy said with no hesitation
"Hmm truly? That is all your wish to do? Just to help people?" The blade asked as if trying to see if the boy was being truthful
"Yeah! There's this hero named all might!" The boy said excited now
"All might?" The blade asked as if telling the boy to continue
"yeah he's the number one hero and the symbol peace he always saves the day with a smile and let them know everything's gonna be ok!" The boy said prepared to go into a rambling
"He seems like a strong and kind person" the keyblade said to the boy in understanding
"He is and I wanna be just like him a strong and kind person who saves people with a smile on his face" the boy said now sombering down but still excited to talk about his favorite hero
"I can see why you like him so much" the blade said as if you could see the somber smile on his face
"That's why I wanna be just like him" the boy said
"Hmmm?"
"A hero who save people with a smile on his face and to let everyone know that it will be ok cause I will be there to protect them that's the hero I want to be" the boy said now looking up towards the hole and the sun above
"Well you know with your heart I believe you can do it" the blade said to give the boy confidence
"Y-you do?" the boy said with hope in his voice
"Indeed I do" the blade said with no hint of doubt in its voice "as long as that is you're true goal then the light in your heart will guide you to it that I can guarantee"
"I-I see thank you" the boy said tear falling from his eye and a smile on his face before the smile slowly faded as a thought came to his mind
"Wait?"
"Hmm?"
"I-I don't understand though if you're wielder left y-you here why didn't he come back for you, and what's gonna happen to you without your w-wielders heart"the boy said now shaking a little
"Well you see young one I was left here by my wielder for a special purpose" the blade said
"A-a special purpose?" the boy said contemplating "like what?" The boy asked
"If you must know I was told to wait for someone" the keyblade answered
"Waiting? Waiting for who?"
"I do not know"
"You don't know?!" The boy said in surprised
"Yes for my wielder said though I may not know their name and they may be no one in particular I will be able to tell that they have been who I have been waiting for" the keyblade answered without a hint of doubt
"B-but what happens to you without your wielders heart?"the boy asked shaky tears in his eyes hoping he wasn't right
Hearing the sadness in the boys voice the keyblade didn't want to tell him but he knew lying would do no good to the boys he finally answered "I will eventually lose my power and my consciousness will fade and I will disappear leaving nothing but my blade form here" the keyblade answered the boy with a grim sounding voice hoping to not have hurt the boy in anyway
"B-but why y-you shouldn't have to g-go a-after being s-stuck her for s-so long I-it's not fair" the boy said griping the beetle tightly tears falling down his face in sadness
"while your words and feelings help me and ease me please do not cry child I do not wish to cause you suffering" the blade said not wanting to see the boys sadness
"B-but y-you shouldn't have t-to" the boy said stuttering over his words
"Please boy let me tell you something"
"H-huh?" The boy said
"You may feel sadness anger and possibly even hatred but no matter the emotions you feel even the sadness you feel now do not let those emotions take over you're heart, do not let them consume you lest you're hearts light is eclipsed by darkness that threatens to over take it" the blade said
"D-Darkness taking over my heart?, c-consuming my light" the boy said still stuttering crying not fully understanding
"Yes in fact I must ask you promise me something" the keyblade said
"P-promise? W-what promise?" The boy said rubbing his eyes.
"This promise is one that is very important to you becoming a hero."
"O-okay I p-promise" the boy said now wiping his eyes with his free hand.
Eventually the boy had stopped crying drying up his tears but still a little sad as the one person who had believed in his dream to be a hero other than his mother. despite himself shy and lacking confidence that as long as he kept the feeling alive of what he wanted to be as a hero that he could do it .
Despite being only a weapon that didn't mean it was less of a person and it gave him a better a little bit of the confidence that he needed he truly felt hope.
Only for the one other person he knew believed in him to one day just disappear after being stuck for 100 hundred years all alone sleeping just to wait for someone to just disappear and possibly alone with, and now the boy had woken him and his energy was now being wasted talking to him and he might not meet the person he supposed to me before his power runs out and he felt like it was his fault.
Just thinking about it wanted to make the boy want to cry again, sure he gave the keyblade someone to talk to after so long but if he hadn't he could have just wait for the person he was supposed to if it he hadn't been for his heart he only wish he could help somehow
"Wait?" The boy said eyes opening up in realization
"Hmmm?" The keyblade said
"H-how about I help you" the boy said still unsure if he could do it
"Hmm?" The keyblade thought in confusion "help me? How would you help me young one?" The keyblade said not even sure what the boy meant
"I'll help you find the person you're looking for the boy said with more confidence
"Hmm how will you do that?!" The keyblade said stunned
"I-I'll take you with me will find them together!" The boy said trying to sell his idea
"..." the keyblade was silent
"..." the boy waiting for his answer
"I-I thank you for your kindness young one but I'm sorry I can not" the keyblade says
"H-huh? B-but why?" The boy said confidence lost and confused
"Even if you were to help me and take me with you I'm afraid without my wielders heart I would quickly lose my power the farther I go, so it is better for me to stay here and wait" the blade explained but not without a hint of sadness in his voice
"... t-then why don't you use my heart!" The boys said stuttering before shouting to the blade
"W-what!?" The keyblade said stunned not expecting the boys answer
"Yeah! If you use my heart I can make sure you don't disappear and we can both look for the person you're supposed to meet, b-besides it'll be easier if we work together!" The boy said a little stuttering but all in all confident this would work
"..."
" ?" The boy said unsure why they boy was quiet
"Sigh" the keyblade heaved even more regret i his breath "I'm afraid that I cannot allow that either" the keyblade said his voice threatening to strain as he did to refuse the boys request
"H-huh b-b-but why now what's wrong!?" The boy said more bewildered now with what felt like tears forming as the answer was fully hitting him
"I'm sorry but the entire reason I am here waiting alone is cause any who would be able to take me would be in grave danger" the blade now starting explain the reality of the situation to the young boy
"D-danger like v-villains?" The boy said now a bit scared
"Similar but more the very forces darkness themselves will come after whoever wields me to get rid their heart" the keyblade said in a tired tone
"S-so if I take you they would take my h-heart" the boy said now using his free hand to clutch at his chest in worry
"Take it, turn it to darkness, or destroy it completely they will do anything to ensure I am not wielded and I cannot drag you into that battle, I am sorry" the keyblade said regret in his voice for having to turn the boy down again hoping to not hurt his feelings but this is the only way to ensure his safety
Hearing that the boy looked down eyes unseeable but obviously squinting as an anger to not help and a sadness as his free hand clenching hard into a fist shaking
Finally they boy seemed to stop still still holding onto the beetle Before getting up from his knees getting up showing with a new fire in his eyes
"Then I guess I'm gonna have to fight" the boy said with a a new found determined tone of voice
"W-what but boy I had just sai-"
"That's why I have to do it !" The stopped him
"How do you intend when you can't even properly wield a pretend sword" the blade asked with a more somber tone to hopefully convince him
"T-then I'll train or I'll study and learn to fight!" The boy said not faltering
"These beings will not show mercy on you you do not have time to train while they come at you at full force!" The keyblade said not faltering
"I'll the practice I get before them then use them as training going up bit by bit so I can keep going and get stronger and stronger" theboy said not faltering
"And what if you get hurt or worse!" The keyblade shouted in worry but with what sounded like sternness
"T-then I'll get back up again and keep fighting!" They boy said now raising his voice
You do not understand! If you fight the forces the darkness to help me then they will eventually take your heart!The way you are now if you help me your heart will fall to darkness!" The keyblade said not raising his voice a hint of desperation in his voice
"Even if that happens I'm still gonna help you!" They boy yelled
"..." nothing could've prepared the keyblade for that "I-I-I I don't understand if you wish to be a hero then why do you persisting helping me this way? What is driving you to throw away your light? to throw away your dream?!" The keyblade asked struggling to understand wanting answers
"My dream is exactly why I am doing this" the boy said
"W-what I don't understand still what does this have to do with your dream?"
"You said the light in my heart would lead me to my dream, my dream to be a hero" the boy said
"I-I did but what does this have to do with-"
"But that's what a hero is to me! Someone who helps and fights for others!" The boy said his voice raising
"T-that's what a hero is someone who's willing to help others! to help the people they care about or even people they don't know who are trapped in the darkness with their light not matter what may happen to them THATS THE HERO I DREAM TO BE!" The boy finished yelling up to the sky
"..." the keyblade was speechless at this boys bravery
"T-that's why I help you and I'll keep on f-fighting as long as it takes if it means people can continue to walk in the light and not be taken by darkness I will do whatever ever it takes!" The boy said his determination
"..."
For what seemed like minutes the keyblade said nothing worrying the boy that something had happened to him before finally
"And if you were to loose your heart to darkness and fall to it?" the keyblade final spoke some tiredness in voice but genuinely curios on the boys answer
"E-even if that happens as long I've help someone out of there own darkness and back into the light, then I would do it with no hesitation! And not matter what darkness I fall to I will always find the way back to my light, that's what my hearts tell me!" The boy said with an assured voice
For a while the blade was quiet again seemingly contemplating his answer before eventually
"Young one-" the keyblade paused before continuing "no before I say anything more I must ask you something" the keyblade said his voice now somber
"Hmm? What is it?" The boy said now confused
"I should have asked you this earlier but what is your name?" The keyblade finally asked
"Oh I'm sorry I completely forgot how rude!?" The boy said in suprise of completely forgetting "m-my name is I-Izuku Midoriya "
"Hmm Izuku that is quite a nice name" the keyblade said the somber smile he had could be heard
"Th-thank you" Izuku said taken back
"No thank you Izuku Midoriya you've opened my view to things and I thank you for you help, but I have one more thing to ask of you?" The keyblade said nothing but appreciation in his voice
"What is it ?" Izuku asked confused
"May you grab my handle and pull me from the ground so we may leave this cave" the keyblade said even more somber but with a hint of sadness in his voice
"O-oh sure!" Izuku said the sadness lost to him
As Izuku stood up letting go of the beetle and using both of his hands to grab the handle of the keyblade and began pulling and struggling using his strength
Eventually as Izuku kept pulling little by little getting the keyblade out before eventually after the final part of the keyblade came out a bright light flashed out forcing Izuku to close his eyes
"W-what?! W-what's happening ?!" Izuku said blindsided and confused
"Thank you Izuku Midoriya for you have made me see" they keyblade said not answering his question
"See? See what ?!" Izuku said still confused
"For you see I know now that you are the one I have been waiting for so long to meet!" The keyblade yelled
"M-me!" The boys said confused and surprised
"Yes you're the one and now I shall bestow the power in your heart as I have waited so long to do so!" The keyblade said
"P-power?" Izuku said now even more confused
"Yes for you shall be given the power to wield the keyblade!" The keyblade yelled
"Power of the keyblade!?" The boy said surprised and not fully understanding what he meant
"Yes for you are the one I have been waiting for the one who will play a role in the third!" The keyblade said
"The third?" Izuku said confused "the third what?" The boy said wanting answers from the keyblade
"I am sorry but I cannot tell you for that is all I know" they keyblade said before sigh and continuing "and unfortunately this is goodbye"
"G-goodbye!? W-what do you mean goodbye!?" The boy said now shocked and confused
They keyblade struggled to find the words "by my wielders order when I bestow the power of the keyblade on the one who I was waiting for I must disappear and seal their memories of me and this moment away in their heart" the keyblade trying not to falter
"S-seal my memories away!" The boys said in suprise as a sadness and shock hit him at once
"Yes and then I will go somewhere to where I don't know, so even if may not remember this is goodbye as we not meet ever ag-"
"Don't say that!"
"H-huh?" the keyblade
"I don't care if you seal my memories! I will remember and one day we will meet again!" Izuku said with a determination in his voice
"As long as the memories will exist in my heart I will remember them and the light will guide us together again! We are connected" Izuku said with the utmost certainty
The keyblade said nothing for a bit before a chuckle came from him before he continued "with you Izuku I believe it, then this is goodbye for now" the keyblade said amusement in its voice
Now with that the light died down enough for Izuku to see he no longer had the keyblade as it was now floating
Slowly the keyblade flies up toward the hole at the top of the cave before shining another flashing light blinding Izuku again
The light now seemed to weaken Izuku making him more tired as he struggled to keep standing still unable to see where he was going
As he struggled to get up he heard the keyblade speak to him one last time
"May your heart be your guiding key Izuku Midoriya!"
And with that Izuku vision faded to darkness
00000000000
"...mghhhh" Izuku groaned
As Izuku began to stir awake groggy eyed standing up rubbing his eyes getting off the grass as the sun was starting to set
"W-what was I doing?" Izuku said looking around trying to process why he was out cold on the ground "let's see I was put bug hunting and then?" He says trying to remember but coming up with not before looking up at sky to see the sun setting
"O-oh no! I gotta get home before mom gets worried!" The boy said now rushing to get up
As Izuku picks up all of his stuff and his net he looks up to see a cave right infront of him
As he continues to look at this cave a single tear flows down his eye to his shock he starts rubbing his eye in confusion
"W-what going on what am I crying for?" They boy said sad but more confused
As the boy picks up his stuff still rubbing his eyes before taking off into the woods back home
"That was the day when my destiny had begun and fate was always watching"
"That was the day when my heart would become connected to so many through the threads of fate"
"That was the day where my battle of light and darkness would begin"
