I'm starting on this early but this story aslways comes back the second I finish a new chapter so I geuss that's a good thing.
000000000000
"And always remember" the voice continued.
"N-no plea-!" Izuku didn't get to finish as his mouth was covered by darkness.
"You are the one who will open all doors".
000000000000
"NO WAIT I'M BEGGING YOU HEL-!" Izuku screamed as he jumped up from his bed.
As Izuku began to look around he noticed that he was back in his room under his covers back in his pajamas.
"Me?" Izuku asked to no one in particular as a wave of confusion had hit him.
Izuku started looking around before realizing again what he saw has been a dream causing him to give a sigh in disappointment.
But then Izuku looks to his hand seemingly seeing if he could summon that light again or his shield something feeling off.
"B-but was it really a dream?" Izuku said mulling it over "it all just felt way to real?" Izuku said trying to wrap his head around it.
"Izuku are you alright!".
Izuku didn't have time to think on it for long as the voice of his mother came muffled from the hallway panic in her voice as he could hear her quickly shuffle to his room.
As she opened the door the face of Inko Midoriya's was one that could be described as of panic and stressed worry as her eyes quickly darted around her room to see her son in bed perfectly fine if not a little confused.
"I-Izuku are you ok sweetie" Inko asked now a mild confusion but still a hint of worry.
Now processing his mom's question Izuku scrambles for the words "y-yeah mom I'm fine!" Izuku says in a hurry as to stop his mother from freaking out about him before looking down scratching his head frown on his face feeling bad "sorry for worrying you like that, it was just a nightmare".
Seeing her son downtrodden Inko quickly changes her mood "d-don't worry about it Izuku!" Inko said trying to cheer up her boy while wanting to explain herself "you were just screaming so early in the morning I thought something was wrong" she said While still trying to cheer Izuku up but struggling to put a positive spin on this.
Hearing this Izuku quickly looked up before look towards his clock.
"It's only 5:30 am!" Izuku thought in surprised as he clock read 5:30 am Saturday March 16th.
Suddenly it had come back to him he just started spring break in a less than a month he'd be back In school his last year before having to take his high school entrance exam.
Suddenly Izuku felt a ping of regret shoot out through his as he clutched his chest looking down feeling a sense of regret.
Seeing her sons current state sent worry to Inko's face.
"I-Izuku are you alright sweetie?" Inko asked with a hint or worry in her voice.
Feeling unable to look up to stare at his mother he weakly answered "yes mom I'm fine" he said.
The answer didn't do anything to help the feeling that something was wrong she felt that she couldn't do much more except assure him "w-well ok I'll be in my room if you need anything Izuku" Inko said trying to let her son know she was here for him as she began to walk back towards his door.
Izuku didn't fully pay attention to that, so many things were flying around his head that the world around him seemed to slow. So many thoughts, regrets, and memories flew around his head.
His life, his dream, and his quirklessness, everything was hitting him at once people stomping on his dreams, him not having a quirk, him being alone for so long with no one but his mother to support him.
But through it all something inside him had told him to keep going a pursue his dream.
But lately some times it felt like that feeling was getting weaker and weaker.
Then that dream had come along and now it had made everything confusing for Izuku.
"But... why it really a dream?" Izuku thought to himself.
For all he knew it was a dream. He pulled video game potions out of no where that were orbs of light, his summoned a shield to fight with and opened a chest with it, he fell from a saying glass window of himself, saw people infront of his school he's never met and fought a shadow version of his childhood friend turned bully, he sunk into a pool of black and purple with creature pulling him down. And the next thing he knew he was in his bed.
Everything he saw and felt pointed to a dream he just had. But something had told him that it was wrong, that it was more than just a dream.
"It-it just felt to real" Izuku whispered to himself looking at his hand.
Inko hearing the whisper stopped in her tracks not letting go of the door hand but turning her body to look at her son.
"Izuku did you say something?" Inko asked her son in as Confusion as he sat there now silent again.
Izuku hadn't heard her so many things were flying around his head his dream,the voice,his school,those people,the shield, and the shadow Bakugo it was all just so much and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.
But suddenly something from his dream had ringed in his head.
"hmm training stamina and body might be in order".
Training?... for so long Izuku thought it was pointless even though he wanted to be a hero even though he was quirkless and he should train he felt that no matter where he'd go to train he'd be put down by whoever or wherever he went to train.
But now his heart was telling him to put heart into it that it was finally time to try Izuku now looking at his hand before clenching into a fist before putting it down he needed to talk to his mom see is she could help him
Suddenly Izuku had realized that his mom was leaving his room so quickly his head moved to his door to try to catch her "mom!" He quickly said only to see her standing by his door.
Seeing her son turn to her out of nowhere caused Inko to jump only for slight worry to fall Izuku faces as he made her jump.
"Y-yes sweetie is there something you need?" Inko said in surprise in mild worry for her son who jumped up calling for her out of nowhere.
Izuku now struggling to make sure he didn't freak out his mother and to find the words to explain stuttering over himself.
Eventually Izuku stopped clutched his chest before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath and looking back at his mother.
Eventually Izuku spoke "I-I would like to go on a diet and training schedule!" Izuku finished a seriousness in his voice.
Inko now looked at her son confused this essentially coming from her son from nowhere.
"I-Izuku w-where is this coming from?" Inko said wondering where did this change and seriousness came from .
When asked that Izuku looked back down now trying to find the words to explain it to his mother while also trying to find the right words so he could be satisfied with words as well.
Finally he spoke up "I want to grow stronger" Izuku paused on how that felt before continuing "to grow stronger, to chase my dream, to help people".
Inko sat there in silence it had been years since they had a talk like this and after everything that has happened over these last few years so she felt she could only sit there and let her son continue.
Izuku now turned his head upwards to his ceiling before continuing "For so long I thought I was pointless, that no matter what I did or how I trained I felt it wouldn't help my chances, for so long I've had people tell me that it couldn't happen for so long i've been told that even if I trained since I was quirkless I couldn't be a hero and eventually I started listening". As Izuku said this his hand on his chest grip harder in a form of frustration.
"F-For so long when I heard this I listened to my head" Izuku finishing to turn to his mother before continuing "now I'm listening to my heart" Izuku finished a confidence in his voice and a smile on his face
Inko now looked at her son tears beginning to form in her eyes it being so long since she's seen her son like this.
Getting her bearings she dry her eyes and steadying herself before talking "a-and what is it telling you Izuku s-sweetie?" Inko asked not only on genuine curiosity but a new found look coming from her son.
It didn't take long for Izuku to answer his mom with not but confidence "it's telling me to train as hard as I can and follow my dream" Izuku said with the brightest smile he had in a while.
Inko now smiling as well wiped her face of tears again before speaking "alright then" Inko said now content.

Friday,March 21st
It had been a busy few days for Izuku as he had sweat dripping down his face falling from his chin as he is running throughout the park.
Getting his dietary schedule was easy to plan and start but finding a workout plan and planning it to both around his free time and when he would go back to school had taken him about a day and a half.
Still even though planning precise schedule took a while Izuku seemed to be going over it and already over working himself as much as he could before he passed out.
He didn't understand why it was just like... like something was telling him to go beyond his limits and push himself.
Izuku eventually slowed down letting himself rest putting his arm up on a tree to steady himself.
As Izuku took a moment to catch his breath he pulled out a note book and a pencil pulling it out to list and after steady himself he began to stand and write while going over the list.
"Hmm seems I went over my quota again today" Izuku said writing down the mules in his journal "o seem to keep doing that" Izuku sat an pondered for a moment before flipping to the next page and continue writing "I'm eventually going to have to regulate myself before I over exert my body to much and disrupt my training.
Izuku eventually stopped writing and contemplating his options before writing in his note book "but then again if I keep going and see a noticeable difference then maybe I can slightly adjust my schedule and dietary plans to further development" Izuku said now right down even faster in his notebook
"But if that happens I might need to increase the work load once I return to school along with school work on top of that" Izuku now righting even faster muttering his words as his pencil speeds across the page.
"What the hell are you doing Deku".
Izuku stopped in his tracks as he heard the voice slowly looking up from his note book to see his former childhood friend turned bully Katsuki Bakugo staring at him, his eyes looking as if they set him aflame.
As Izuku saw Katsuki staring at him with anger he started to grow shaky trying to answer "o-oh h-hey K-Kacchan w-what are y-you d-doing here" Izuku now trying not to anger Katsuki.
This did little as Katsuki scowl quickly grew "you never answered my question you damn nerd!" Katsuki said now raising his voice as the thought of someone like Izuku ignoring him.
Izukus now stumbling to find the words finally started to answer "o-oh y-you know just going for a run g-getting some physical exercise and t-training in you k-know t-that kind stuff!" Izuku said trying to clearly answer Katsuki's question to quell his anger.
Getting this answer only seemed to calm down Katsuki down to a scowl "the hell are you training for you nerd" Katsuki said slowly piecing the reason why "are you trying to train to be a damn hero Deku!" Katsuki said his hands now sparking as a few mini explosions "trying to upstart me!" Katsuki said now starting to yell.
Izuku trying to diffuse the situation began to speak "n-no not at all I'm j-just training so I can try and apply for U.A!" Said now dropping his notebook and hold his hand infront of him shaking then to try and explain "I'm not t-trying to upstart or compete with you at all!".
Hearing this the explosion In Katsuki's hands died down and his face seemed to return to his scowl before Katsuki's turn back around "Whatever just stay out of my way you damn nerd!" Katsuki said before beginning to walk off.
Izuku still curious about something called out "w-wait kacchan!".
Hearing this Katsuki stopped and turned around "what the hell do you want!".
While struggling to say the words he wanted to Izuku eventually asked his question "w-what are you doing here?" Izuku said in confusion of why Katsuki had any reason to come here.
Katsuki turned around seemingly angrier now for some reason not even Izuku could understand before finally speaking "I was trying to clear my mind" Katsuki said now seemingly getting somber but still anger very present "but the second I try to get the thought of you out of my damn dreams of course you show up like that damn pest you are!" Katsuki said letting his hand explode to let out his anger causing Izuku to jump a bit.
But as Izuku processes his eyes widen in realization "w-wait a d-dream?!". Izuku says as surprise washes over his face.
Katsuki hearing this scowls even more "yeah so what!" Katsuki says even angrier.
Izuku seeing this tries once again to calm him down "n-nothing K-Kacchan I-it's just-".
Izuku pauses for a minute contemplating everything about his dream "w-we're we fighting in the dream" Izuku finally speaks out.
Now some of Katsuki anger had died down as a new look or suprise washed over him "how in the hell did you know that?" Katsuki said in genuine surprise.
Seeing this Izuku looked in surprise to but now with genuine curiosity as his dream might have been more than a dream "a-and was I hold a shield in that dream!" Izuku asks another question
Katsuki face went from surprise to genuine shock and now reminiscent of the dream a little anger "how the hell do you know that!" Katsuki said his voice growing as the sparks and explosion appeared again from his hands.
Seeing this Izuku now grew cautious of him before trying to explain himself "I-it's just I had a similar dream so when you said you had one as well I was just curious" Izuku now trying to to do anything to calm Katsuki down.
Katsuki now hearing this seemingly stopped and turned away his major anger subsiding "*tch* what the fuck ever!" Katsuki said before turning his head back around "dream or not a worthless loser like you could never beat me" Katsuki said now walking away.
As Izuku saw Katsuki slowly walk out of sight he breathe a sigh of relief slowly escaped Izuku lips as he picked up his notebook and pencil before his dream was now back in the forefront "It couldn't have just been a dream of me and kacchan both had it... right?"
Izuku realized that clearly this was gonna need more thought than what he previously had did.

Monday, March 31st
The Midoriyas were enjoying dinner Izuku staying on track with his diet and training.
As Inko continued eating she had a small amount worry on her face as she looked up to her son who was eating his food without worry skimming through his note book with his free hand.
Through his training Inko had noticed a slight change in her son one that had been growing more and more and while she knew he had been working hard and going beyond and doing more that what his training called for how much more and his original schedule had been increasing more and more as this last week has passed by.
And while less noticeable there was how he looked.
So she had put it upon herself to have a conversation with him today.
"Um Izuku sweetie?" Inko asked looking at him.
Between bites of his food and flipping of the page he answered "yes mom?".
"Can we have a talk please?" Inko asked hoping he'd catch on
Hearing the seriousness in his mother's voice he looked up to him mom and seeing her face he slowly moved is note book away pushed his plate a bit to the side before placing his hand into the empty space "sure" he said giving his mother his full attention.
Seeing as he was paying attention she began to speak "I know your going back to school tomorrow" she started.
"Yeah" Izuku motioned her to continue .
"And I know you've been working and training hard" she said trying to get to her point.
"Um yes" Izuku unsure of where she was going.
"I-it's just I worry that with all the school work you're going to push yourself to hard" Inko said finally voicing her concerns
To this Izuku started to scratch the back of his head "you think so mom?".
To this Inko nodded her head and continued "it's just it seems every time you push farther and farther beyond your workout limit, to the point where you're exhausted and pass out, not to mention that limit keeps increasing and I'm just worried that you're going to over work yourself" she said finally voicing her full concerns for her son "not to mention your recent growth from that training" Inko said finally finishing
To this Izuku began to look at himself, he had noticed that he had actually grown an inch or two during his training thankfully not to much where he didn't have to by all me clothes and while not fully noticeable if you kept and eye on him throughout his training he had gained some muscle.
At first Izuku thought his over working was somehow paying off but I seemed like and to him like his body was growing more than he was training as if his training somehow doubled heck maybe even tripled his progress.
Feeling it was enough Izuku turned back to his moms look of understanding "I promise to take it easy with my training while school is starting up" Izuku hoping she would understand and accept.
Hearing this put less worry on Inko's heart and with this she nodded and simply said "ok".
And with that they went back to dinner.

Friday, April 6th
The third day of school and Izuku Midoriya was already not having fun.
Nothing had changed some muscles or no muscle we was still a quirkless freak.
"I just need to get through the year, then I'll apply to U.A" Izuku thought to himself in as he held his onto his desk "can't this day be over already though" Izuku thought with a hint of desperation.
Izuku finally took his head off the desk and opened his notebook to the page about the heroes he say today "at least I saw a new hero debut" Izuku said "also gotta right down what I saw kamui woods do maybe flesh out his entry oh yeah and I gotta finish that sketch on ".
As Izuku continued his sketching and notes eventually his teacher came and started talking about a career aptitude test only to immediately throw them into the air as most of his classmates including him would apply for the hero course.
"Well it seems like an obvious Choice the road to becoming someone a person to look up to no wonder everyone want to try it" Izuku thought to himself clutching the middle of his chest"and I'm going to try my hardest" Izuku thought with a new found confidence in chest.
"Hey teach".
"Oh no" Izuku quickly deflated the confidence quickly diminishing.
"Don't lump me with the rest of these extras".
"This can't be good".
"Unlike me the rest of these extras couldn't even make it as decent sidekicks let alone heroes".
"Why do I feel this is going to come back to me somehow".
Just then all of Izuku's classmates burst in an angry screaming at Katsuki.
"You think your better than us Katsuki!".
"You wanna go explosion boy!".
"Come at me you extras I'll take you all in at once!". Katsuki said with his usual smug attitude
"Time to disappear into the background now" Izuku thought as he put his head down.
"Hmm now let's see, you do have pretty high scores maybe you can get into U.A?!" Izuku teacher said seemingly staring in surprise at Katsuki's records.
"He's gonna go for U.A!".
"U.A only has only a point 2 acceptance rate it almost impossible to get in!"
Katsuki was still looking down but you could almost feel the smugness coming from him without even looking "r E that's why it's the only option of me!".
By this point Izuku wasn't really listening to Katsuki declaration he seemed out of thought as if his mind was somewhere else.
At first all Izuku thought about was the dream he had a few weeks ago "I just can't get it out of my head! What is up with this?".
But the more Izuku thought about his dream the more his mind wandered around it.
Light,darkness hearts, the act of connecting l,and the power of a hearts, he couldn't wrap his head around it at first but the more he thought the more it seemed to make sense to him no matter how much his head couldn't wrap his head around it.
Then he thought back to the whole dream the people he met, the chest, the shield, that voice.
Then his mind went back to the shadow Katsuki, the fight, and the shared dream maybe?
While he didn't understand much of it he figured that if they were both sharing the dream and that was really Katsuki he fought then something felt wrong.
Then all of a sudden it hit him, something that the voice said and as he remembered a whole new worry washed over him
"For hearts like yours, those who who are heavily aligned with the light there will always be those close to you who cascaded in darkness!"
With this Izuku finally looked up to Katsuki seemingly still in his speech seemingly no care whatsoever.
But now no matter what has happened between a part of Izuku still cared for Katsuki. And no matter what would happen between them he always knew that a part of would care for Katsuki.
"That's the first thing I think I've realized after so long" Izuku thought as he clutched his chest "b-but Kacchan cascaded in darkness?"
Unfortunately Izuku wouldn't have the time to think on this as the fire awaited him.
"Oh yeah Midoriya you want to go to U.A too right?"
"And there goes my fade away" Izuku now noticing everyone was looking at him
Only for the entire class to burst out and laugh.
"Midoriya are you serious! Hahahahaha!"
"Just because you've bulked up a tiny bit doesn't mean anything!".
No matter how much you bill up with no quirk you can't even apply to the course".
At this Izuku stood up "u-um actually they got rid of the rule so-".
"DEKU!".
Izuku again didn't get to finish as Katsuki hand landed on his desk the explosion sending past the desk behind him onto the ground as he struggled to get up.
"Unlike the rest of these extras you're worth less than they are" As Katsuki said this his hand was smoking tiny explosions going off in the midst of the smoke "you really thinks someone like you is gonna get in when they can have me".
Seemingly trying to diffuse the situation Izuku stuttering over his words dose his best to get them out "n-no I-it's not like that I-I'm not trying to u-upstart you or a-anything!". Izuku now begins to back up before continuing "I-it's just my dream a-and I need to try my hardest!" Izuku said not grabbing his chest.
But is quickly forced to duck as Katsuki's open palm and an explosion goes off right behind him.
"*tch* please! Forget about try you'll die as soon as the exams start" Katsuki said towering over Izuku "this school's reputation is already shitty enough and you want to drag it further by failing the exams" Katsuki said now watching Izuku's face fall as he looks down
Eventually the teacher finally stepped in "alright everyone get back in your seats I still have a class to teach".
Eventually as Izuku got up he began to write down his notes again now with more on his plate over again as he had so much to think again.
000000000
As the school day began to end Izuku began to finish up his notes for his training schedule before take out his hero notes.
"That fight from this morning is all over the news better finish writing up my notes for today".
As Izuku grabbed his notebook it was quickly snatched from his hand by Bakugo and his lackeys.
"I don't know what you think your doing but we aren't done here Deku". Katsuki said as he looks down on Izuku.
"What you got there his diary?".
To this Katsuki showed his lackeys the notebook.
"What is that? A notebook on how to be a hero?"
"Man that's pathetic!"
Hearing this Izuku s to play along for now "hahaha ok guys that's enough give it back please!" Izuku said now extending his hand reaching for it.
Katsuki response was to blow it up.
"Ahhhh w-wait K-Kacchan!".
Katsuki's next response to was to throw it at the window.
All Izuku could do was look with mild confusion and worry for his notebook "w-why" being the only thing who could get out
"Most first rates heroes show potential for early on as early as junior high" Katsuki said seemingly at his calmest "and once in the only one to apply and get accepted into U.A from this school then people will know that I'm the true genuine article".
Hearing this Izuku struggled to form a sentence "b-but I-I"
But Katsuki didn't care what he had to say "so let me put this in an a clear concise way so even someone like you, you damn fucking nerd, don't you even think about applying! you got me?".
To this Izuku could do nothing but stand there and shake in fear of a retaliation
"Man how pathetic you'd think after all this time he'd at least have a little fight on him"
"But then again now he can realize that he'll never be a hero, better late than never I guess"
As they were walking out the room Izuku could only could try to collect himself in hopes to get out of the shaken state as soon as they left.
Then Katsuki stopped.
"You know if you wanna be a hero then there might be a way". Katsuki spoke in a way that Izuku almost hearing the punch of malice that was coming.
"Just pray you get a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off the roof!".
That had set something of in Izuku suddenly as he clenched his hand a found a new found vigor looked at Katsuki with a fire burning his eyes.
Only for Katsuki to look back him and set off a flurry of explosions "got a problem?"
Izuku had now completely lost the vigor he once had and only could stand there shaking as they left.
No one noticed that Izuku's clenched fist had begun glowing for that short ordeal.
000000000
"Idiot you shouldn't tell people to commit suicide" Izuku said now walking towards the underpass from the back of the school "what would you have done if I had jumped". Izuku as he continued to walk home.
As Izuku continued to walking he noticed his notes in the water trying getting swarmed by fish Izuku could only sigh before grabbing the now wet and burned note book out of the water before continuing to the underpass.
As he looked at the notebook Izuku's thoughts began to turn back to what he was thinking before
"That voice was right, you truly are descending into darkness" as Izuku thought about this something inside him resonated with this and a confidences now burned in him "then I will do my best to light your way back even if you hate me for it".
As this Izuku began walking through the underpass all of a sudden the manhole launched up causing Izuku to jump as turn around only to see a giant blob of sludge with eyes and teeth starting at him.
"There we go a perfect skin suit decoy!" The villain said malice and joy in his voice.
As Izuku tried to run away he was immediately was pounced on and completely swarmed him the goo blocking his noisy and mouth forcing his way in.
"Just relax kid and it'll be over soon you won't feel a thing" the sludge villain said trying to for Izuku to stop resting.
So many thoughts we're running through his head.
"Gotta get out of this".
" I can't breathe".
"Even with my new found strength I still can't move".
"Even with my stamina increase it feels like I'll pass out any second".
As Izuku struggled for his thoughts his body eventually became slower and weaker.
"That's it just relax the less your resist the easier it will be for you" the sludge villain said in a cool confidence.
As Izuku slowly got weaker and weaker his mind was racing to Find a solution
"I'm getting weaker I can't make room to breathe" Izuku was quickly was losing eyesight everything was going blurry
"I can't let it end like this, after working so hard". as Izuku body struggled to move his mind was growing foggier and foggier "I can't let end it this especially after the promise I just made to myself.
Suddenly thought and memories had entered Izuku mind.
"Sorry kid it's not gonna happen"
"I'm sorry Izuku! I'm sorry!"
"Useless Izuku!"
"You have gained the power to fight".
"hmm training stamina and body might be in order but otherwise you gotten a hang of your power"
"alright then".
"dream or not a worthless loser like you could never beat me" Katsuki said now walking away.
"May your heart be your guiding key Izuku Midoriya!"
In Izuku's final moment ofconsciousness he had one more thought "wait that last one, what was that... where ...did ...it ...come ...from?".
As Izuku final thoughts went black a faint glow formed around as he stopped struggling the light began to form and smoke began to emerge from where the sludge was touching Izuku.
All of a sudden the slime villain started to howl in a form of pain "aaaaahhhhhh! What in the hell why does it burn is the kid quirk or something"
"Fear for no longer citizen"
"Oh shit!"
"For I am here!"
000000000
"...ke up".
"Hmm".
"Kid... wake...".
"That voice sound familiar".
"Hey kid you need to wake up!".
"Wait that voice!".
At the remembering of this voice Izuku's eye shot opened his eyes.
Only to see his idol right above him.
"Ahhh That's good thought I may have lost you there".
Izuku layed on the ground for a second almost instantly jumping up to action speaking a mile a minute.
"Ohgodit'sAllMightican'tbeleiveyourhere!" Izuku now going a mile a minute.
"Now now young man I get it if you're a fan but tired not to get to over excited now" All Might said for the sole fact they boy was talk a bit to fast to understand.
Hearing this Izuku had calmed down a bit before realizing his opportunity.
"W-wait where's my notebook I need to get an autograph I have to have a pen somewhere" Izuku as he struggled to locate the his supplies before noticing his notebook a little ways behind him on the ground and going to pick it up and open it "wait he already signed it!" Izuku said as he opened the notebook.
Izuku began bowing rapidly "thank you so much I'll treasure this for the rest of my life" he said in genuine gratitude.
All Might simply waved him "do not worry about it young man it is the least I could do for a fan and consider it a thank you!".
To this Izuku looked at All Might In confusion "m-me b-but why are you thanking me? What did I do?".
All Might looked at Izuku before pulling some bottles out one in them having two eyes in them "while I do apologize for not rescuing you sooner as I couldn't find you through this sewer system is pretty hard to navigate, but if it wasn't for you being there when you were and last as long as you did I wouldn't have caught the villain as fast as I did so consider it a thank you and an apology".
To this Izuku could wave his hand infront of his face trying to tell All Might he didn't need to apologize.
All Might now putting the bottles away before giving a slight wave "now then normally after and attack like that I saw no injuries but I have to ask are you hurt anywhere?" All Might said also scanning over him for any bruises or outer injuries.
Izuku then began patting himself down before looking to All Might "no actually I feel just fine".
All Might the nodded "well then good!" All Might then patted the pocket with the sludge villain inside "then I must be off now and take this villain to the police" all might said before bending down about to take a jump.
To this Izuku looked in surprise want come over him "no wait he can't leave yet I have to ask him something!".
"Stand back now I don't want my jump to send you flying!" All Might said before jumping off and thing off.
Only for Izuku grab onto his leg as he takes off as they both go flying.
All Might looked in surprise at the boy grabbing his leg trying to push him off "now young man I know you're a fan but this is to much you have to let go!".
At this Izuku began to panic "wait All Might if I let go now all if I let go now all fall and die!" Izuku continued feeling he needed to explain himself"I-I'm sorry All Might I'm just need to ask you something!".
All Might trying get him to stop "alright alright just hold on and I'll land!."
00000000
After quickly catching his breath Izuku managed to look up only to see All Might beginning to walk away.
"Alright young man just knock on the door and someone will eventually let you in to get back the ground, now I have to get going" All Might said.
Seeing Izuku's chance slipping tried to keep his idol around a bit longer"All Might wait I have to ask you something!".
But All Might wasn't having it "sorry young man but I have no time I have to get going".
As Izuku watch All Might about to take off everything about his quirklessness passed through his head so much of his life,his strife, his struggle, and how he started to work for his dream, he knew he wouldn't have another chance to ask so he decided to go for it.
"Even though I if someone doesn't have a quirk, can they still be a hero?!".
He finally said it, after so long of waiting he finally said it.
This has stopped All Might in his tracks as he started to turn around look at Izuku.
Izuku wait in baited breath for his answer after so long not taking his eyes off All Might.
It was then that All Might started clutching stomach smoke coming from his body.
At this All Might began to panic "n-no! Not now, not like this!".
All of a sudden All Might was enveloped in a faint cloud of smoke.
With the smoke coming out of nowhere a worry filled Izuku "w-what's going on All Might are you doing this?.
As the smoke cleared Izuku saw someone standing in all nights place who hair was raggedy and he looked like he was underweight,sickly, almost skeleton like.
His brain is telling him that this was an imposter and the real all might disappeared.
But something told him this was the real All Might but something was wrong here.
"W-what the A-All Might I-is that you!" Izuku said in bewilderment
To this the skeleton man looked in surprise "you got it in one kid?!, that right I am All Might" All Might said before a slight smirk appeared on his "I'm surprised most would've figured I was a fake".
That did little to get rid of Izuku's worry though "b-but of that's you then why do you look like that!?".
"We'll I guess I should explain" as All Might began to explain he sat down only for blood to gush from his mouth and Izuku freak out in worry only for All Might to hold his hand up as to stop him.
As All Might stops the bleeding he eventually speaks again a slight frown on his face "I am going to have to ask you to not spread this around" All Might looking at Izuku for confirmation for Izuku to nod his head to which All Might began to continue.
"You see about 5 years ago I got into a serious battle and while I ended up winning it left me with this".
As All Might finished speaking he pulled up his shirt to show a ragged injury. Various colors and shades of purple and tan morphing into one focusing on one huge indent the rest of his torso caving into that one spot.
At this Izuku looked in horror at this the symbol of peace injured like that all he could was ask "w-wait 5 years ago does that mean it was toxic chainsaw?"
The smile slightly returned to All Might's face "wow you know your stuff?! but know that punk couldn't do anything like this to me!" All Might before frowning "most of the world has never heard of this fight I've tried to keep it under wraps to never cause panic" All Might said this beforehand looking down at his injury and continuing "still all the same this has devastated me to the point where I am only able to do hero work for three hours a day" All Might told Izuku this know what he was going have to tell him next.
Izuku could only look in stunned silence this was almost unspeakable "only three hours! I just can't believe it!".
All might then looked up to Izuku now getting up from his spot "the reason I'm telling you all of this now is because of your question crime earlier".
Izuku not looked int confusion before remembering but something inside was telling him something was wrong.
And as all might began to compose himself a somber tone had washed over Izuku "So with that I'm sorry young man but without a quirk no I don't think you can be a hero".
That was it.
"I'm sorry but hero work is dangerous".
There it was.
"And without a quirk you will surely have to face a gap that could be too big".
It was finally out he couldn't deny it any longer.
As All Might got up and walked to the door "it's not bad to have dreams young man but you have to be realistic with them you can save live so many other ways there's no need to risk your life" All Might stopped sighing before continuing "I hope you take what I say to heart young man" And with that All Might left.
As Izuku stood there now all alone his entire conversation was playing back with All Might.
"Take what you said to heart, all mine feels is crushed and hurt".
All Izuku's heart felt was a crushing feeling of hurt everything he started to strive for falling apart just as he was putting everything together this feeling was weighing heavier and heavier and heavier.
And heavier... and ...heavier.
Wait... Somethings... was... wrong... it's... to heavy.
As Izuku stood there he began to clutch his chest in an almost sort of pain "what's...happpening...to... me... I... can't... Breathe".
Suddenly Izuku saw flashes of red as so many emotions started swirling around his heart, these weren't his these felt like something was off.
Suddenly flashes of memories that weren't his moved across his eyes so fast he couldn't tell what it was but for some reason they had looked familiar but with all this Izuku couldn't tell what was going on a feeling of sensory overload overwhelming him and suddenly it all stopped, all the emotions all the memories everything that wasn't his, it all disappeared.
And in it's place one voice he knew all to well.
"LET MEEEEEE THE HELLL GOOOOOOOOOO!".
And all of a sudden he was back on the roof top it had been a little bit and know doubt All Might had left the building as could maybe be long gone by now.
But that was now the last thing on his mind after the experience on his mind and in his daze all he could say was one thing.
"K-Kacchan?!".
As soon as the nickname or his childhood friend left his lips and explosion went off behind him causing him to turn his head around to see a gain cloud of smoke rise up.
With that Izuku picked himself up and bolted out of the door.
000000000
"This was bad" was the only running through All Might.
As he thought this he looked all the scene infront of him.
The sludge villain which he had caught had now gotten away and taken a hostage.
"And I'm out of time shit this is bad not securing that bottle was a rookie move" at this all might look down in shame "and after I told that kid he couldn't be a hero here I am doing nothing!".
"Hey wasn't this the villain the one being chased by All Might?".
"All Might! No way?!".
"T-then where is he?".
"There's no way this villain got away from him right?".
At this all All Might could do was look down in shame with his thoughts "I wish I could do something but it can't be helped the only thing I can do is wait for another hero that can-"
"KID STOP!".
As All Might looked back up he saw the kid he had Just had his talk with now running into the danger zone .
"Kid!".
Izuku's mind was running a mile a minute thinking of what he could do to stop the sludge villain and pull Katsuki out.
"I need to figure something out but why do I do!".
Seeing the boy again the sludge villain grew irritated "you again? You damn brat! Stay out of my way!". As the villain said this he launched a tendril down at Izuku.
Izuku had now time to dodge he knew and even with his better fit body he wouldn't be able to gaurd this one unscathed.
As the tendril came down so many things were flying through Izuku's head that the world seemed to slow down he could here the voices of the hero's trying to get to him, he could hear the yelling of pedestrians for him to get out of the way, and he could hear Katsuki calling him Deku.
But the thing that was the loudest were his memories playing for a second time that day
"Sorry kid it's not gonna happen"
"I'm sorry Izuku! I'm sorry!"
"Useless Izuku!"
"You have gained the power to fight".
"hmm training stamina and body might be in order but otherwise you gotten a hang of your power"
"alright then".
"dream or not a worthless loser like you could never beat me" Katsuki said now walking away.
"May your heart be your guiding key Izuku Midoriya!"
"So with that I'm sorry young man but without a quirk no I don't think you can be a hero".
"Is this it the end of my story". Izuku thought to himself
"Have you already forgotten what I told you three weeks ago".
"H-huh?" Was all Izuku thought could respond with.
"It seems you have".
"W-wait! You're that voice from my-" Izuku began to remember.
"What I am is of no importance" the voice cut off that train of thought before continuing "what you need to do is remember the words I had said to you".
"The words you said to me" Izuku had started to follow the voice train of thought
"Yes" The voice continued "I had told you I'd given you the power to fight but to be a hero you must keep you're light burning strong" the voice stopped to let Izuku process for a moment before continuing "now then do you still wish to be a hero?".
With that question Izuku knew exactly what he felt and he answered almost immediately "yes I do more than anything!".
"And even after what Your idol had said to you? Then why did you run head first into this danger?" The voice had said as if testing him.
Izuku didn't "the second I saw Kacchan in trouble my body moved on its own! I have no other reason!".
The voice seemed to approve "good your light is burning strong" before instructingone again "now then let it burn for everyone one to see and hold it within your hand!".
"Hold the light within my hand!" as Izuku thought this he held his hand up and began to glow "and let it burn for everyone to see!" Then Izuku's light he enveloped everyone at the Scene.
"What the!"..
"KID!".
"Young man!".
The light blinded them all for what seemed like minutes before the light finall subsided and as everyone regained their sight
Instead of seeing the corpse of a crushed boy what they say was that boy keeping his ground now with some weapon in His hands.
The sludge villain and Bakugo looking had looked in shock
"What the!".
"What the hell deku!".
The keyblade, Izuku's keyblade.
"My keyblade!" Izuku said not even really thinking about what he said adrenaline pumping through him
The keyblade itself was fairly Long almost three and a half feet it's guard yellow with points at the bottoms with streaks or red a blue and a brown grip Izuku was holding and chain at the bottom showing his costume mask design. Up the bald was a mouth guard design he was playing around with along with the a straight blade with no sharp edge until the very top where it's looked like the top of his hero design except right we're tow and big open part one with a blue heart and one with Golden star.
"What the hell?" the sludge villain said.
"Is that his quirk?" One of the pro said.
None of had said anything and the keyblade began to glow again now blinding the villain but not hurting Katsuki.
"Let go of Kacchan!" As Izuku yelled this the keyblade glowed even more now send out a strong force and pushing the slime villain back.
"W-what the hell is with this power!" As the slime villain said that he eventually was pushed to far back and his entire top half had blown off Katsuki trapping only his legs.
Izuku seeing his chance either still blinded villain reached out his hand for Katsuki "Kacchan! Now!".
Seeing no other option Katsuki takes Izukus hand for him to swiftly pull the rest of him out.
Seeing this the slime villain quickly acted "no you don't you god damn brats!" Quickly launching a tendril at Izuku and Katsuki.
Having no time Izuku quickly puts the keyblade infront of him to try and block the attack.
Only for a giant blur to come toward them and stop the blow.
As the boys looked up all they could say was "All Might!"
"I truly am pathetic" all might said seemingly berating himself "I had said being a hero is too risky without a quirk and yet here you are running head first into danger when you didn't even know you had a quirk and I was nowhere to be seen" All Might now blood slightly coming from his mouth "I should live up to my ideals!" All might said now reeling back his fist.
The villain didn't get a chance to react or retaliate as before he could do anything.
"DEEEEETRRROIIITTT SMASSSSSHHH!" All Might Sent him flying.
And just like that it was over.
00000000
As always being chewed out by adults when someone else was getting praised was nothing new for Izuku Midoriya.
"There was absolutely no reason for you to risk your life like that" death arms said berating the kid
"You could've gotten yourself killed kid" Kamui wood said to him in a disapproving tone
Mean while Katsuki was being praised.
"You were brave out there kid".
"That's one strong quirk you've got".
"Hey when you go pro come down to my agency".
All the heroes on Katsuki were praising him but he wasn't listening just staring at Izuku.
Then death arms spoke up "but then again that quirk of yours was really useful" death arms admitted with a Sort of sigh.
"I have to agree that light along with at weapon were something else" Kamui actually said praising him before continuing "hey if you decide to take the hero route stop by or think about joining my agency maybe I can teach you easy capture after you blind them with your quirk.
"...Huh?"
"M-my quirk?" Izuku asked in confusion
As if on instinct Izuku's keyblade appeared in his left hand shocking both him and Katsuki along with the pro heroes who saw him summon it out of nowhere
"Geez kid a warning would be nice" death arms said on surprise.
"Yes that both a weapon and a quirk so don't just brandish it out of nowhere like that!" Kamui said in a reprimanding tone of voice.
Izuku hearing this quickly sent it away by dropping it as it disappeared in a flash of green light "yes sirs!".
But on the inside Izuku was so shocked but in the shock you could see it in his face "I have quirk" repeatedly going on over and over into his mind so much so that a few tears had gone down his face.
And eventually the pro heroes and authorities had let both of the teenagers go in their way home.
000000
At first Izuku's walk home was quiet as he started to process what had happened summoning his keyblade and her and over again to make sure that wasn't a dream again.
After a while he had stopped in the middle of a backstreet again before summoning it again they keyblade appearing without fail.
"I... have a quirk" Izuku said monotone before he let some tears fall down his face.
But before he could let himself cry for a bit he was interrupted.
"DEKKU!"
as Izuku felt a fear was over him he turned to see Katsuki looking at him anger on his face.
Before Izuku could speak Katsuki eat him to it "what the hell was that back there there's no way you could have a quirk unless you've been hiding it from me all this time!" Katsuki said his fist now sparking in explosions.
To this Izuku quickly moved his hand infront of him"no Kacchan you have it all wrong!" To this Katsuki stopped but still keep a scowl on his face.
Seeing Katsuki stop yelling "Kacchan think about it! I had a quirk I would of shown it to you! a long time ago! What would be the point of me hiding it when i admire so much and I know your better than me!" Izuku trying to get his message across stopped for Katsuki to process before continuing when he saw Katsuki get a grasp on it "my quirk was something I didn't even know I had and I still thought I was quirkless from the beginning of school up until I ran to try and help you! So why would I have any reason to hide this!" Izuku said now his hand on his chest a few tears streaming down his cheeks.
Katsuki seemed to have gotten the message because he quickly turned around "*tch* what the fuck ever!" Katsuki said before turning his head to look "just to let you know I'm not thanking you! And I don't care if you got some new little toy for a quirk I'll still beat you you damn nerd!" and with that Katsuki walked off eventually out of sight and ear show.
After Katsuki had disappeared all Izuku could do was sigh before beginning to head back home.
Only for All Might to cut him off right form another alleyway in his buff form "I am here!"
Izuku quickly looked in shock now letting his question spill out"All Might what are you doing here! Weren't you swarmed my the press!" Izuku said before noticing then asking and "should you you be in your buff form I though you were at your limit!"
To that All Might could only laugh "ahahahahah well you see there is just one answer needed for all of those questions young one! You see for I am ALL MIGH-" he did get to finish to as he puffed back into his skinny form spewing blood
To this Izuku looked in worry only for All Might to hold his had up again to show he was fine.
Eventually he continued "actually young man I wanted to ask you a few things regarding you earlier question.
To this Izuku could only motion him to do so.
See that he could he went straight away "now I thought you said you didn't have a quirk but I saw you summon that weapon and some light to not only stop the enemy but save your friend?"
Izuku could only do the thing he thought it was rational to do which was summon his keyblade to show to All Might before saying "actually All Might I didn't know I had it until it had appeared in my hands" Izuku said answering honestly
To this All Might looked in surprise "Wait? So you're telling me you charged in not know you could do all that?" All Might asked in a genuine but not very big surprise.
To this Izuku could only nod.
With this All Might had a slight smile on his face "and tell me why did you do that?" All Might hoping to get the answer he wanted to hear
At first Izuku don't know how to describe it but after putting his hand on his chest he answered "when you left me on the roof top something happened to me" to this All Might looked at him in confusion "I think I felt Kacchan the boy who was kidnapped in trouble, like a part of him reached out to me! And after seeing the explosion all my body would do was run over to the attack and when I saw him my body moved before I even knew what was going on" to this Izuku saw All Might go from confused to a big smile on his face
"Young man do you know something that all great heroes have in common?" All Might said only for Izuku to look at him in suprise "all of their bodies moved before they could think!" All Might paused as to let the information sink in "just like you did!"
At this Izuku knees buckle as he was on the ground now tears threatening to spill.
"Young man you too can be a hero!".
There it was.
The hope Izuku needed for so long.
But After the moment had passed All Might continued "I deem you worthy to receive my power and take my place!".
And as the crying stopped there was only one thing Izuku could say as he looked up.
"Huh?"
00000000
Few this took longer to write than I thought. Sorry out of know where school swept me up and wasn't able to write for a bit even though I started right after I finished the last chapter but since I'm now on a break I'm hoping to get a few shorter multipart chapters done so I can at least get to the practical exam but for now I'll think I'm gonna take a break until tomorrow.
But a few things first while I'll be leaving up most to interpretation there is one thing I am going to explain and Izuku training and accelerated growth as I have put it and this directly kingdom hearts stuff
Izuku Midoriya
Abilities:
Experience boost
Yeah so I'm gonna add abilities to the roster as I think it's a good way to get creative juice flowing but and few things 1.I won't be using every ability cause some are to broken 2.I will be making abilities not equips like in the game so one way the character gets them they don't come off and while I'll be using the basic of what the abilities do I'll rewrite somethings so it's easier and more practical then video game logic and I'll also put a brief description of the ability once it's added in the chapter I've added it along with a list of them all
So with out further ado.
Experience boost:while training any limit if broken and exceeded with out to much physical damage cause to the body will cause accelerated growth of work on powers and physical attributes .
Hope you enjoy these additions and without further ado I'll see you later.
Also for readers of you want to see pictures of the keyblade and many other things I cross post on Archive and I'll post artwork I'll do for the story. /works/33141376/chapters/85309090.
