So it's been a hot minute since I last updated, I just could not be bothered, but I'm here now to give you this chapter and I'll probably update in at least 39 years.
If you don't like this story and feel the need to mention, please do in a way that gives me useful critique, one worded reviews are rather difficult for me to decipher, though that's just because I have 2 braincells working overtime.
"I AM COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" All Might smiled as he entered the class.
Did Izuku hate All Might? No, in fact he still admired his power, with what Izuku knew about his own quirk, he didn't think he would ever be able to get All Might weak enough to consume.
When Izuku asked if he could be a hero, it was more out of curiosity than desperation, he had been beaten by his classmates for a long time and they were going easy on him. If they went for the kill, they definitely would have succeeded. Of course now they would have a bit of trouble against Izuku and his quirk.
Why did Izuku want to be a hero? Simply he wanted to fit in, to have a sense of power at a time where he had none and now he had more power than most could comprehend, if he wanted he could learn anything, be anyone.
Speaking of, one of Izuku's past times did include living the life of his victims, he would go about their day and learn.
It was due to this hobby that Izuku learned more about the criminal underworld than anyone his age should. He knew of heists weeks in advance, heroes who worked with villains to get that extra penny.
But he also learned of a plot to kill All Might, of course he didn't believe it but he was excited to see the outcome, to see the shock when All Might would prevail.
But enough of what has happened, let's go to what will happen.
"BATTLE TRIALS AND WHAT IS A HERO WITHOUT THEIR SUIT" All Might laughed as cases came out the wall.
When it came to his costume, Izuku wasn't sure what to go for, he had this idea to wear a hoodie, but it seemed a bit too edgy for his liking, and so he decided on something that gave the impression he was looking for.
"THEY SAY THE COSTUME MAKES THE HERO, AND SO, FROM THIS MOMENT ON, YOU ARE HEROES!" All Might smiled his usual smile.
In front of him were a variety of costumes, some made with support items to boost their quirk's efficiency, some made for the sake of having a costume, and some made to give a message.
Izuku was one of the latter.
From the feet upwards he wore boots that were accompanied with combat pants, with guards on the knees.
His upper body was concealed under a skin of sorts, like a wetsuit divers wear, on one of his shoulder was a protruding spike like guard and on the other arm, although it didn't have the same shoulder guard, it had a sharp forearm guard with both his hands having fingerless gloves.
But what sent a shiver through everyone was the mask.
Glowing red unfeeling eyes hiding behind the gasmask-type headwear.
The overall colour scheme was mostly red and grey with hints of green around the pads.
Behind the mask, Izuku was smiling at the surprised expressions, however instead of giving off fear.
"Dude, how are you not swimming in sweat under there?" Kaminari asked which had Izuku paused.
"Uhh I don't sweat, you know? manipulation of biomass?" Izuku stammered, seriously Izuku missed killing people, they gave him more satisfying reactions than this!
"What's up with the guards?" Mineta pointed to the fairly inefficient accessories when given Izuku's quirk.
"Ugh" Izuku inwardly facepalmed, the moment was ruined "It's for intimidation, same as the eyes" Izuku breathed out.
"Well it works, you had me shaking for a second there" the guy with the tape quirk smiled.
"But the gas mask, you plan on fighting diseases" Sero added.
In actuality the mask was to hide Izuku's face which usually would be smiling during his brutal displays but of course he couldn't say that.
"Also for intimidation, can we please just continue on before I ask for another costume" Izuku laughed to bring up the mood.
All Might went on to explain the scenario of the battle trial.
Basically, villains would have a bomb in a building and the heroes would have to touch the bomb within 10 minutes.
The only rules were don't go overboard with the fighting and don't damage the building, pretty simple rules which annoyed Izuku.
"So what's our plan?" Kirishima asked as he rolled his shoulder.
His partner Bakugo was silent.
"I don't know" he sighed. Everytime Bakugo fought Izuku, he was beaten, sometimes just knocked out.
"So, how about we split up, you make a bunch of noise, maybe try to lure Izuku away and I can rush Kaminari, his lightning won't be as strong with my hardening" Kirishima grinned as he hardened his arm.
There was a part of Bakugo that didn't believe they stood a chance, but that was easily overshadowed by his overwhelming urge to beat Izuku, to win.
"So you want me to go?" Kaminari questioned Izuku's plan.
"Well if I go, then this would be over in seconds, you won't have an opportunity to show what you can do, plus they would be expecting us to send our most powerful weapon" Izuku explained.
"Wow, prideful much?" Kaminari muttered while grinning, Izuku didn't mince his words, but he was right, the hero team was probably expecting Izuku to greet them first and that gave Kaminari an overwhelming advantage.
"START!" All Might's voice echoed through the faux city.
"Well wish me luck" Kaminari said as he went to leave.
"Good luck" Izuku said as he laid against the wall.
Kaminari quickly popped his head in the doorway "wish it!" He seethed as he continued on his way.
While Kaminari was gone, Izuku placed his hand on the floor, it began to rip and tear as it looked like it merged with the floor, he let his biomass spread, small vein like strings encircled the room, creating a webbed look.
"What the hell?" Jirou spoke as she witnessed Izuku's use of his quirk.
"Is he trapping the room?" Sero asked, he was planning on doing a similar thing with his tape.
"How much biomass is he using? there must be a limit" Yaoyorozu wondered.
"Well they do say your blood vessels could circle the world twice" Tokoyami spoke up as he was also a bit disturbed by Izuku's quirk.
'HE HAS A STRATEGIC MIND, SENDING KAMINARI INSTEAD OF HIMSELF TO SURPRISE THE HEROES' All Might inwardly thought as he watched Kaminari hiding in a room, waiting for his moment to strike.
Bakugo ran in, sending explosions everywhere, giving away his position, while Kirishima hardened his hands and feet to scale the building, his presence hidden by Bakugo's rampage.
He looked through the windows for anything and he figured that they would leave the bomb at the top and he had some good evidence when he tried to look through the window at the top.
A tendril wrapped around him before he could react.
"You can harden your body, can you survive a fall from this height?" Izuku asked as he left Kirishima dangling.
"I think so" Kirishima answered, temporarily forgetting that this was a battle trial.
"Whew, well then, see you next fall" Izuku smiled as he whipped Kirishima into the ground below, not knocking him out but seriously testing the limits of the durability his quirk gave him.
"At least he asked" Kirishima grinned as he pulled himself out of the crater he created.
Kirishima didn't necessarily dislike Izuku, he just didn't seem like the kind of person Kirishima would like to be around, but he was here to be a hero so he couldn't be that bad. Right?
"Come out Deku, I know you're hiding" Bakugo taunted as he kicked open a door, not taking any chances as he let off explosions.
Fortunately for Kaminari, he was in the room next to him and fair to say he was terrified.
When Bakugo kicked open the door to Kaminari, he received a message from Kirishima, in that second that he was distracted, Kaminari let loose.
"KAMINARI AND BAKUGO HAVE BEEN KO'D" All Might informed.
They would later found out that Kaminari and Bakugo attacked at the same time, Kaminari used his full charge and shocked Bakugo who used his explosion in reflex, even if he didn't, Kaminari would be stuck in his dumbed down state.
"Huh that's unfortunate but good job Kaminari for taking down Bakugo" Izuku complemented as he retracted the biomass into himself and waited for Kirishima to appear, he checked the window and Kirishima wasn't climbing so he must've went in the doorway.
"Surprise!" Kirishima ran through the wall as he got Izuku in a bear hug, although his original plan was a suplex, he forgot about how heavy Izuku is.
"Having trouble?" Izuku playfully asked as he jumped, even with Kirishima on his back he was able to move freely as he twisted in midair and pushed off the ceiling, breaking through the floor to the next with Kirishima being the involuntary battering ram.
"Still alive?" Izuku taunted as he felt Kirishima's grip loosen, Izuku quickly got up and was ready to announce his victory but when his legs got kicked out from under him, he realised that Kirishima was only getting started.
"You're strong, can you survive a punch from me?" Kirishima asked as he hardened his arms for emphasis.
"I've been hit by worse" Izuku laughed as he recovered and got into a fighting stance.
"Well then" Kirishima hardened, "may the best man win!" He gave his battle cry as they ran at eachother.
Blow for blow, they still stood, Izuku's mask cracked and broke apart as his smile was shown, Kirishima's sharp edges cut Izuku's face which had Kirishima shocked and apologetic.
"Oh crap man, I'm so sorry" he began before Izuku's smile stopped him, the cut healed.
"No worries man, looks like we're equally matched in terms of durability, and so it's a battle of attrition" Izuku lied, he could probably punch a hole through Kirishima if he wanted, but that's not necessarily recommended especially when the Number One was nearby.
And so they continued, Izuku's weird blood splattering on the wall and Kirishima, whose manly spirit was flaring inside of him.
Eventually Izuku used a semi full power punch, which Kirishima responded with his own final punch, the result would determine the winner.
Kirishima's arm cracked from the fist to the forearm as Izuku's overwhelming power took him out.
"Good fight, I had fun" Izuku smiled as Kirishima panted, the adrenaline preventing him from feeling the pain.
"Deku!" Bakugo was there, shaking as he was still feeling the effect of being shocked.
"Hey Kacchan, aren't you out?" Izuku asked as he walked away from Kirishima, expecting another fight, especially since All Might wasn't speaking up.
"I was knocked down, not captured" he explained as he shakily raised his arm at Izuku.
"Don't you want to grab the bomb? win the trial?" Izuku asked as he already knew the answer.
"You said it yourself, heroes beat villains, and you, are a villain" He said as he pulled a pin.
"So what's yo-" Izuku got interrupted when a great explosion encompassed him.
"Oh my god!" Mina screamed along with most of class A who were shocked and surprised by what just happened.
"Shouldn't you do something All Might?!" They pleaded.
"YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT STUDENTS, MIDORIYA'S QUIRK GRANTS HIM SUPERHUMAN DURABILITY HE SHOULD BE...FINE?!" All Might stopped as he saw.
Most of class A had trouble keeping their food down at what they saw.
One of Izuku's weaknesses is fire and the the force of the explosion was enough to blow off his biomass fortunatly he moved a bit out the way, but it still left half a skeleton of biomass in its wake.
"Bad move Kacchan" Izuku drawled as his jaw reconnected to him, his tendrils sweeping the floor for any salvageable biomass as he dash forwards and grab Bakugo.
"You pissed me off you ant" he threw him into the wall, yet didn't let go as he threw him into the other wall, before spinning and throwing him down the hall, his body slowly healing as he approached Bakugo.
Bakugo raised his arm to use his quirk but Izuku just grabbed it and broke it.
"You piece of trash, you thought that'd work on me?" Izuku kicked Bakugo into the wall, he tried to block the kick but he only broke his forearm.
The level of bloodlust Izuku was letting off right now had Bakugo thinking this was it, as Izuku raised his foot Bakugo felt that at that moment, he was going to die.
A heavy gust of wind stopped Izuku.
"MIDORIYA! I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE ANGRY, BUT THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS LEVEL OF BRUTALITY" All Might appeared as he held back Izuku.
"You're defending him? He could've killed me and you're defending him?" Izuku growled as underneath his skin his biomass was going wild.
It was just like in Aldera, the teachers always defended him, these people at UA were the same, All Might was the same.
"I CAN ASSURE YOU, BAKUGO'S ACTIONS WILL BE REPRIMANDED, AS WILL YOURS" All Might spoke softly.
"Damn it" Izuku pushed off All Might and stomped away as the last of his body was recovered, he wasn't necessarily decent right now so he stormed right out the faux city to the changing room to get some clothes.
Not only was Izuku angry at everyone, he was angry at himself, he nearly threw away his grand plan just because he lost alot of vital biomass to Bakugo.
When Izuku returned to the class, people avoided him, some looked at his side, which was previously reduced to almost nothing.
Yet still, Kaminari and Mineta came to his side.
"Dude, you doing good? seemed to lose it a bit there" Mineta asked.
"Yeah, I didn't see much but I heard you lost all the skin on your side, how are you even alive?" Kaminari smiled.
"I had the biomass to spare thankfully" Izuku lied, at this point he was sure he'd come back from just about anything as long as he had the necessary biomass, "I just got angry and lost it a bit" Izuku added, possibly one of the few truths Izuku has told.
"Well, you did go a bit overboard with Bakugo but I mean, he did let off an explosion that could've killed you" Mineta added.
"Are you joking me? You were going to kill him, you can heal, he can't!" Ochako overheard the conversation and got up in Izuku's face.
"Woah, woah, everyone, calm down" Kirishima acted as a mediator between Ochako and Izuku who looked at her with a stoic expression.
"IT IS MY FAULT, I DIDN'T KNOW THE EXPLOSION WAS GOING TO BE THAT DESTRUCTIVE TO MIDORIYA" All Might chimed in.
"HOWEVER, AS I PREVIOUSLY TOLD MIDORIYA, BOTH WITH BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR ACTIONS" he quickly added.
Ochako's first impression of Izuku was when he skipped her to fight more villains in the entrance exam, and with the way he acts and what he just did, she was beginning to dislike his brutish nature.
As the different trials went on, there was a clear divide between the class, those who thought Bakugo was in the wrong for releasing an explosion of that magnitude in a training exercise, and those who thought Izuku's actions were equally unforgivable in how he retaliated.
"And how is Bakugo?" Nedzu asked Aizawa.
"He recovered, left pretty quickly as well" Aizawa answered.
"At least there's that good news" Nedzu sighed, "so, Midoriya's reaction?".
"I feel it was a reasonable reaction given the context, people with strength enhancements are dangerous when angered, remember that student a couple years ago who broke his classmate's leg when he punched him" Snipe added his piece.
"However that reaction is something we need to be weary of, I recommend not having Izuku and Bakugo participate together in any future exercises, and we should give both of them counselling to reduce the risk of this happening again" Nedzu decided.
The day passed quite quickly after that, with Bakugo and Izuku being given an hour of quirk counselling each, of course their subjects were different with Bakugo receiving counselling appropriate to his quirk and Izuku about strength and being conscientious of his.
They both left at different times, which was fortunate.
However a call was made to their parents which was less fortunate.
"Izuku, we are talking and that's final" Inko said, mustering a stern tone as she tried to move Izuku to the couch.
"Look, I know I was absent when you needed me most, I regret it everyday, but the school told me what you did to Bakugo, that was wrong" she scolded, hoping to get through to Izuku.
"Did they tell you he blew off half my body?" Izuku said as his biomass responded.
Inko gasped as she saw half of Izuku's body recede revealing bone and muscle.
"Or did you just not care? Like usual" Izuku began.
"Actually you are right, let's talk" Izuku said as bruises went across his body.
"My whole life you ignored this" Inko screamed when Izuku's arms and legs broke, and twisted.
"And when I thought I could end it all, I came back" his body then morphed into one of the people who he first killed.
"And now I'm the pinnacle of perfection, untouchable, unkillable" he grabbed Inko by the throat, she gasped for breath.
"I. Am. Right" he squeezed until...
CRACK
"It's ok son, I always knew you were, kill them all" Inko said as she changed back into Izuku.
Heyo, so may have gone a little too far but mainly just trying to surprise people and I know I took a dig at the original design of Alex Mercer, but I mean, am I wrong?
Though that is my opinion and you are welcome to criticise my choice of pretty much using the Prototype 2 blackwatch costume which is similarly edgy, I don't know it just looked cool to me, especially the mask they wore.
For Izuku's characterisation, I'm kind of going for a reasonably serious person surrounded by not so serious people . Of course he will play a fairly fun character around his friends but truly he will pretty much be a good ol' monster inside. I don't want an overly serious story like the first game but more of the comedy in Prototype 2, hopefully you guys don't mind that, well if you do then that's just unfortunate.
