A ten year old broccoli haired, freckled face Midoriya Izuku loved staying up at night and watching videos of Professional Heros-- The different abilities he saw, the versatile some of the Quirks or 'superpowers' could perform.
Endeavor had a basic fire Quirk but the things he could do with it; flying, walking on walls, shape manipulation!
He could make himself stronger and faster with the momentum of his fire! It. Was. Amazing!!
Or… or Best Jeanist who could manipulate any type of fabric-- it didn't sound cool or powerful but the way the blonde man used it was amazing; he could stop villains with just a clench of his fists, get other Pros out of the way, make his clothes harder and more durable like armour.
His Quirk proved that no matter the power if used correctly it could help people.
There are tons more examples of Quirks that seemed simple or useless but if used in a more creative way could become powerful and versatile.
Izuku knew it didn't matter what kind of Quirk you had or how lame it seemed-- any power could help!
Maybe even if that power was no power at all and it was just being a little more observant than other people.
Izuku loved writing in his Hero analysis notebook. The greenette loved coming up with weaknesses to impossibly strong Quirks or how to increase the strength of 'weak' ones.
...He also loved studying support equipment but that was for another time.
Take Kacchan's sister for example-- her Quirk was Light-Sweat which allowed her to sweat a highly luminescent substance from her entire body which glowed when activated and gave off a slight heat.
That meant that her skin must have mutated to handle that heat, if only a little and the fact that once activated the sweat stayed where it was making a barrier of sorts between her and the rest of the world.
If she could do that to her whole body and increase the potency of her sweat then she would practically be untouchable to most people!!
He also thought that since it did give off some heat then it must have been a similar compound to nitroglycerin! And If it was and since it was a emitter type Quirk, where she could turn it off and on then she should be able to manipulate it a little and if she could then SHE WOULD NOT ONLY BECOME A SHORT RANGE FIGHTER BUT ALSO A LONG RANGE ONE!!!
...Anyway Izuku loved writing in his hero analysis notebook-- it calmed him.
"Midoriya! stop your blubbering and pay attention! 'OR' wait outside!" Izuku's teacher yelled at him with a deep frown and a twitching eye.
"y..y..yes se..Sensei!" Izuku exclaimed, keeping his stuttering down to a minimum ignoring the snickering from his classmates and the dirty glare from the before mentioned Kacchan or Bakugou Katsuki. His old childhood friend turned bully.
"Deku!!" Katsuki grabbed the Quirk nerd's shirt and banged him on the wall causing a small whimper to leave his throat. "If I told you once, I told you a million times, you need to stop you stupid daydreams and face reality!" Katsuki yanked his notebook out of his tight grasp and scoffed at the title. /Hero Analysis For The Future number six!!/The ash blonde looked at Izuku in disgust.
"You'll never be a Hero you Deku!!" He exploded the notebook until it was nothing but a burnt husk. "If I catch you with anything like that again I will fucking kill you!" He slammed the greenette as hard as he possibly could against the wall causing some of the students around them to either laugh and turn away.
"Ow!" The freckled boy slid down the wall as the ash blonde and his posse left the room.
Izuku hanged his head low as he walk away from his school, "Izu-Kun." "Izu-Niichan!!" two girls waved at the boy. One had long brown hair and perfect pale skin with familiar red eyes that, unlike her brother's, shone with kindness while the other girl had long straight green hair that went to the edge of her back with chocolate brown eyes.
"Mitsuko-Chan.'' He quickly patted the girl's head and went over to his sister and gave her a tight hug and kiss and the forehead. "Kaida-Imoto, how was your day?" Mitsuko pouted and looked away from the boy as the other girl looked at her brother with a bright smile.
"It was good! Mitsu and I get an "A" on the English book report you helped us on." Izuku nodded with a smile. "And during lunch me and Mitsu practiced our Quirks on the roof! I did the trick where you said that I should compress my fire as tightly as possible when it's in my throat and I managed to spit out a blue fire ball!!" Izuku grinned, glad his sister had some fun.
"And you Mitsuko-Chan?" Izuku asked and the brunette brightened up being addressed.
"I managed to create a small ball of light with my sweat!" Izuku chuckled at her exuberance. "I can't wait to tell Kat-Niisan!!" The greenette flinched slightly at the name but managed to keep it under control enough so neither of the girl's saw it.
"Oh yeah! Is it okay if I go over to Mitsuko's?! She got the new Princess Pals: Forever Together and I really want to watch it!" Izuku thought about it for a moment and nodded.
"Sure. I'll walk you home before dark." Both girls squealed and hugged the boy, " "Thanks Izu!! See you later!!" " Both girls ran off leaving the boy in their dust.
Izuku sighed as he watched the two girls run, until they disappeared, "Deku!" Izuku gulped and knew he was in a world of hurt when he heard a familiar growl behind him. "Stop talking to my fucking sister!!"
Izuku wiped the tears away from his puffy red eyes, trying to ignore the burning at his stomach and the bruises everywhere else. 'At least he avoided the face.' Izuku shook his head at the thought. "Kami I'm pathetic." he kicked the dirt in front of him.
The greenette entered the small forest near the park to calm himself. The mix of greens and browns did wonders making his shitty day a little less bad.
As Izuku smelled the pine air he smiled a little, remembering how he and Kacchan spent hours here exploring and playing.
The boy quickly lost his smile, as old memories played in his head. 'How times change.' Izuku thought as he rubbed his chest.
'At least Kacchan is a good enough person to beat me when neither of our sisters can see.' Izuku shook his head and focused on his favorite place in the city.
The deeper he got, the more at peace he felt. He walked for a couple hours just enjoying nature until he came across something unexpected. "What...the...fuck..?" Izuku saw a large ten foot creter with a metal circular...satellite? Right in the middle of it.
The greenette crept closer to get a better look but after a single step, the broken ground gave under his weight and he slid down all the way next to the satellite-like object.
He lightly poked at it and a cylinder shaped object suddenly popped out from the sphere and scanned him, surprising and frightening the greenette. "Shit!!" Izuku crabbed crawled away, trying to create as much distance as possible from the mysterious light.
/D.N.A scan complete. Fifty percent match of Midoriya Hisashi-- conclusion made: Fraternal successor./ Izuku's eyes widened at his absentee father's name. /Access granted to the Omnitrix./ the cylinder object opened to reveal a...wrist watch?
Izuku studied the weird looking watch; It had a raven colored band attached to a circular grey head plate with a white hourglass symbol, thin silver metal straps where the headpiece and band connected with four, tiny grey screws to keep them connected and a small green button on the side. "...Omnitrix?" The white hourglass glowed toxic green and it seemed to come alive and jump towards his face.
Izuku raised his right arm in instinct to protect himself and the watch molded itself onto him, "SHIT!!" Izuku tried to pull the thing off of himself and for a moment the wrist watch seemed to raise a few inches off his skin but a second later, long green vines of energy crawled through his arm and the rest of his body seemed to spark with electricity.
"AGHH!!" the Omnitrix snapped back onto him and refused to budge even a single inch. /Omnitrix has successfully coupled with new user D.N.A./ Izuku eyes bulged at the unfamiliar feminine robotic voice. /New user has not reached full maturity-- Failsafe activated; Master Control locked. D.N.A Scanner locked. Transformation limited to ten aliens.Transformation Timer limited to ten minutes active and ten minutes recharge. Self-destruct locked./ Izuku began to feel lightheaded.
"Aliens.." the boy muttered as he stared at the... Omnitrix. /What is New user's name?/ The greenette blinked at the question.
He hestainted for a moment, "Izuku." he answered and the hourglass blinked twice before returning to its solid green color.
/Hello Izuku. Would you like to be shown your playlist?/ Izuku felt bile rise through his throat.
"Um..could you...get off me?" Izuku asked and the Omnitrix blinked twice and turned bright red.
/I can't do that. I bonded directly to your D.N.A it is impossible to separate us until your death./ Izuku whimpered as the red hourglass became green once more and Izuku promptly passed out unable to cope any longer.
"~Going at the speed of light. He is always there in time! All Might! All Might! Everything is going to be All Righttt~!!" Izuku's eyes fluttered open as his familiar ringtone entered his ears. Izuku's eyes narrowed in confusion as the setting sun temporarily blinded him and after a moment his eyes shot open realizing what was wrong and who was most likely calling him.
Izuku fumbled for his flip phone and quickly answered it. "I'm so sorry my dragon! I'm running a little late but I'll be there in a few minutes I promise!" the greenette could hear a small giggle.
"It's okay Izu-Niichan! I was just getting a little worried! See you soon Izu." Izuku covered his face and shook his head.
'I can't possibly get there in time.' the boy thought to himself as he stood up. He looked around his surroundings and blinked at the metal satellite and his eyes shot to his wrist.
"Oh Kami, it's not a dream!" Izuku screamed in horror. The greenette began to hyperventilate but quickly forced himself to calm down and concentrate and a crazy idea entered his head.
"Omnitrix is there...an alien that can get me to my sister as fast as possible?" The white hourglass turned green in response.
/Yes the Aerophibian from the planet Aeropela would be the optimal choice. The species can travel at supersonic speeds and can fire neuro-shock blasts from their eyes and tails./ Izuku's eyes widened at the description and bit his lip in trepidation.
"How do I change into it?" The greenette asked and steeled his nerves.
/Press the green button and my face will pop up. You will then turn the dial until you have found the alien you wish to change into and press down. You will have ten minutes before you change back./ Izuku nodded and slowly pressed the button and as the Omnitrix said the face popped up and a green hologram of some lava monster was shown.
"is...is this it..?" Izuku asked with confusion.
/No. The Alien looks like what earth would call a manta ray./ Izuku nodded and turned the dial to pass a blind dog monster thing, a large four armed man, and a moth-like humanoid creature until he reached the alien that looked like a humanoid manta ray.
The greenette slowly pushed down the Omnitrix's face and for a single moment he was in pure agony. He could feel all his bones morph and lengthen and combine until the pain disappeared and the transformation was done.
Izuku looked down at himself and saw a dark green colored body, he stared at his arms that almost reached to the floor and his hands which were now clawed with only three fingers which matched his feet. He looked under his arm and saw his 'wings' that were ruby red and stretched from his wrists to a quarter of his tail.
He then felt his hard like bone horns that connected where his nose should be and surrounded his mouth. "This...this is cool." Izuku admitted to himself in a deep gruff voice that sounded nothing like him.
The now green skinned alien reached for his backpack and wondered how he should start flying, he looked towards his chest where the Omnitrix rested. "Omnitrix...how do I fly?" Izuku asked the watch only to get silence in return. "Omnitrix?" After trying several more times to get the watch to respond he gave up.
"Okay..." The alien muttered to himself and started to flip his arms and he soon was lifted a few meters in the air.
Izuku nodded to himself and wiggled his tail from side to side and positioned himself vertically upwards.
Izuku squinted his eyes and concentrated on gaining more air and suddenly he moved several more meters upwards. "So my flying ability is mostly mental. My tail is to balance while I'm in the air and my arms are for directional changes." He muttered to himself and closed his eyes imagining himself gliding upwards until he was above the trees.
Izuku could feel a gentle breeze on his face and after a moment he opened his green eyes and saw that he truly was above the trees. He moved his tail and positioned himself horizontally and slightly closed his wings and focused on going as fast as possible through the air.
"Shiiiitttt~!!" The air rippled across his face as the city blurred, Izuku had to stop several times to repositioned his arms and move in the right direction but after a minute he was flying above Kacchan's house.
He imagined himself on the ground and suddenly he lost the ability to fly and crashed into the ground. "That should have hurted more." Izuku rubbed his head in slight irritation, he pulled himself out of the hole and dusted himself off. "Now how do I change back?" He looked at the green hourglass symbol on his chest and frowned.
"Omnitrix?" Izuku called out the watch but like the times before nothing happened. He tapped the device several times trying to get the watch to turn him back human and began to worry he had to run out the clock somewhere.
A green light suddenly encompassed his entire alien body, illuminating the orange sky and he was human again like the past minute or so never happened. Izuku looked around him to make sure no one saw what had just happened. "I should have probably checked first, th..at's on me." the greenette muttered and walked over to Kacchan's door and knocked.
After a moment the door swung open to reveal a pissed off Kacchan, a smiling Kaida and calm Mitsuko. "He..he..hello Kacchan." he greeted the ash blonde boy as he looked at the wall behind him, he then turned to the two girls who rushed out to hug him.
"I was starting to get a little worried, Niichan but I'm glad you're safe." Kaida told her brother who nodded and kissed her head.
"I'm glad you're safe too, Izu-Kun." Mitsuko told the boy with a slight blush causing Izuku to smile and her older brother's eye to twitch to increase as Izuku patted the girl's head.
"Let's go, my dragon." Izuku told his sister and waved goodbye to the Bakugou's.
"Hey so, why didn't you answer me earlier, Omnitrix?" Izuku questioned the watch as he rested in his room.
/I cannot speak when you are transformed. That function is only available after the D.N.A Scanner is unlocked./ The greenette nodded but he also had another question to ask.
"How did I change back into a human?" Izuku asked with a slight head tilt.
/When you transform your psyche partially connects to my interface. You can change into any alien or back into human once you touch my face with just a clear thought but be warned every time you change you shorten your transformation by two minutes and increase my recharge time by another ten./ The wielder of the Omnitrix nodded in understanding.
"...So what are you anyway?" Izuku asked with curiosity.
/I am the Omnitrix, created by Azmuth the First thinker of Galvan Prime; the smartest being in three galaxies. I was created so other species could learn and understand each other or if an extinction level event happened to any part of the universe I could be used to restore them./ The greenette eyes widened in awe.
"That's...amazing!!"Izuku exclaimed and covered his mouth in embarrassment. "... So can you describe the rest of the aliens I can transform into?" The Omnitrix blinks green twice. "OH! can you also tell me what functions are unlocked."
/Request accepted./ Izuku grinned in excitement and took out a new blank notebook.
The greenette spent the entire night taking detailed notes on the ten aliens the Omnitrix could transform him into and the unlocked features he could use; like the Two way communication, and Bluetooth.
"Izu-Nii time for breakfast!" Kaida called her brother who rubbed the dark bags under his eyes.
"Okay Kaida-Imoto! I'll be out in a second!" Izuku told his sister. The greenette closed his notebook and stashed it in his backpack, yawning all the while.
In the atmosphere of space a large ship floated.
Within the highly advanced alien ship sat a seven foot humanoid crystal like man whose skin was colored amethyst and eyes were a calming sea blue, "A TEN YEAR OLD?!?!" he screamed in horror. "The most powerful device in the universe is in the hands of a ten year old?!" He covered his face and groaned.
"Okay...okay calm down.." he muttered to himself and took several deep breaths. "You know more than anyone that age doesn't determine ability, morality, or maturity." He nodded to himself.
"Let's see what you can do human." he stated as he stared at a live video of the greenette talking to his little sister as they walked to school.
Izuku adjusted his backpack straps as he grinned to the world. Yeah he was sporting several burns and bruises beneath his grey shirt and was made fun of because he had a 'toy' watch on his wrist but that didn't matter.
Izuku...well he still didn't have a Quirk or any sort of power of his own but he had access to a host of abilities that according to the Omnitrix he could do whatever he wanted with them and Izuku planned to become a Hero!
He was going to train with them and enroll into U.A and be like the victory styled blonde haired number one Hero; All Might!
And they couldn't possibly say no! It didn't matter if he didn't have a Quirk now because he did have powers, he was like everyone else! He could truly be a Hero! No more of just dreaming and hoping that he could somehow fulfill his dreams with enough guts, smarts and determination.
"Aghhh!!" "A villain attack!!" "Where is a Hero when you need one?!" a swarm of black sphere drones was flying and shooting at everybody and everything; destroying the streets, cars and buildings.
Izuku was knocked onto the ground and was stepped on several times before he was able to get back up and as he was about to run he heard something. "Kaa-Chan?!?!" a pink skinned girl was screaming at her mother who had a lighter skin tone then her daughter and struggling under building debris, trying and failing to crawl out.
"Mina!! Run! you have to run!!" the woman screamed at her crying child who shook her head in refusal.
"I won't leave you!!" she held onto her mother's hand as a robot floated closer to them ready to shoot the girl and her mother.
"Nooo!!!" The light pink woman closed her eyes not wanting to see her daughter killed but soon flinched as she heard a small grunt, her eyes snapped open and saw something amazing.
"Wow." The small pink skinned and haired child whispered as a large, eight foot, forest green diamond humanoid-like creature, who was wearing a black unitard which had an hourglass symbol protruding out the middle of his chest, stood over them like a shield, his green eyes staring directly into Mina's yellow ones with black sclera.
"He..hello." the creature stuttered slightly in a deep, smooth voice and flinched lightly as he was blasted in the back again.
"Hi." Mina greeted the creature lightly with a small hand wave.
The creature looked at her mother who had her mouth hang open slightly. "Y..yo..you ne..need some help ma'am?" She nodded after a moment. "O..okay...okay.." he muttered lightly, looking at the debris surrounding her and soon came up with an idea.
The crystal creature laid his large hands on the ground, continuing to ignore the hits he was taking as more and more robots gathered behind him and tried to injure him. "Come on...come on...come on; You're a petrosapien! You can do this!" Both mother and daughter stayed silent as the creature tried to encourage himself.
The forest green petrosapien closed his eyes tightly and a circle of crystals slowly came out of the ground, around the trapped woman lifting the impossibly heavy debris off her, freeing her.
The light pink woman scampered out of the broken concrete as fast as possible and held onto her daughter. "Thank you so much!" She looked up to the kneeled creature and brought him into the hug.
Unknown to her, if the creature had the capability to blush it's entire body would be bright red. "W..we..well we're n..not ..done yet, I need you to stay behind me." he broke the woman's hold and turned around guarding them and ignored their horror filled gasp as they saw the several points in his back where he had been wounded. 'At least I don't bleed.'
Izuku took a deep breath and slowly crystal spikes came out of his forearms. He aimed them towards the bots, shot them out destroying two bots and missing the rest. He ignored the bullets hitting him and regrew the spikes and took aim.
He destroyed another three robots and took several deep breaths trying to ignore the growing pain throughout his body.
After another deep breath, four more robots were destroyed.
After every try he began growing the crystal spikes faster, his aim became more focused and before he knew it three minutes had passed and all the robots laid on the ground, destroyed.
Izuku turned around and looked over at the mother, daughter duo. "Are you two okay?" Mina seemed ready to burst into tears seeing her hero with holes across his entire body.
"I...yes." the woman coughed with a watery throat. "We're fine thanks to you. You're a real hero..um whoever you are." she finished with an awkward face as she held tightly on her daughter.
Mina wiggled out of her mother's hug and rushed their savior and hugged his leg. "I'm sorry you got hurt!! I promise I'm going to get stronger so no one has to ever hurt themselves for me again!" Izuku thanked Kami, he couldn't blush.
"It's fine...Mi..mina right?" He asked the pink girl who blushed a slight lilac color and nodded. "It's fine Mina-Chan, I can't even really feel it! I'm... I'm as hard as Quartz!" Izuku knocked on his chest and the girl smiled.
"So what's your Hero name?" Mina asked as she let go of his leg and Izuku's eyes widened and said the first thing that came to mind.
"Um..um..um Quartz! My Hero name is; Quartz!" the pink ten year old girl tilted her head in confusion as her mother copied her expression. "Because I'm a Pro-Hero and not some vigilante who would take the law in their own hands!" he waved off that accusation with gusto.
"You're a vigilante?" Mina's mother's face slightly contorted with suspicion.
"No! I just said I wasn't a vigilante!" Quartz dramatically cried and both mother and daughter stared at him with narrowed eyes and soon the three of them could hear sirens.
The trio stared at each other, the pink duo staring especially intensely at the petrosapien. "I'm going to go! Bye! Have a nice rest of your lives!!" The vigilante ran away as fast as possible.
Mina stared at her hero in surprise as her mother shook her head. "Yeah he was a vigilante."
Mina stared at her mother for a moment, "So Kaa-Chan.. I changed my mind, I wouldn't mind moving here anymore." The woman sighed and shook her head.
"It's not like we have a choice, we already signed the lease." She muttered as they walked towards the now parked policemen and wondered what he was going to tell her husband.
Quartz took a deep breath in an alleyway, leaning against its wall laying a palm across his heart.
He felt the adrenaline leave his body but he continued to take numerous deep breaths for a couple more minutes but soon the Omnitrix face began blinking red and after a moment his body was encompassed with red light and transformed back into human. "Ugh..." The greenette held onto his stomach and lifted up his shirt seeing several deep purple bruises.
Izuku dropped his shirt and sighed into his shaking hands as he dropped onto his ass.
Izuku walked into his apartment and saw his little sister and her friend watching the news, "And in other news earlier this afternoon a swarm of killer drones attacked Musutafu. As most local Heroes were preoccupied with a large drug bust it looked like doom was inevitable but from testimony we gathered a diamond like vigilante appread and destroyed all the drones, protecting two civilians while under heavy fire sustaining injury across his entire body." a blurry picture of the vigilante was shown running away.
"Despite his good work and zero loss of life the police have issued an arrest warrant for the vigilante named Quartz." Kaida seemed in awe as she stared at the t.v and Mitsuko's normal calm face seemed to twist in distaste.
"Cool! Izu-Nii a new Hero showed up!" Kaida exclaimed but Mitsuko scoffed and her face soon twisted into a scowl.
"Didn't you just hear the news lady? They're not a Hero, they're a vigilante! A criminal!" Kaida rolled her eyes.
"Anyone who risks their lives to help people is a Hero Mitsu-Chan! They saved two people and destroyed all the killer drones without hurting anyone." Mitsuko's scowl lessened.
"Maybe...what do you think Izu-Kun?" the brunette haired girl turned to the greenette who seemed to be sweating an awful amount.
"I..I.. think...I'mtiredandneedtogotobed!" Izuku ran to his room confusing both girl's who simply shrugged after a moment and changed the channel.
"Interesting..." The petrosapien muttered as he reviewed his drones video feeds. "He definitely has potential. Let's see how he does with a little more pressure." he pressed a button on his ship's console and shot a torpedo of metal down to earth.
