Izuku of「THE WORLD」

by IgnaG-P

We all know the story. The story about a poor powerless quirkless boy, that was bullied, who had his dreams crushed, and that overcame all of that to become the number 1 hero. However, this is not that story. This is the story about a quirkless boy, that was bullied, had his dreams crushed and then, rearranged them into something new. But I didn't say that boy was powerless, did I?

2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2:

A week passed since Izuku's encounter with Tomura. In that time, Izuku kept experiencing those "time stops" randomly, so he deduced: It was his quirk! However, he didn't know how it worked or what triggered it. Izuku had been all week trying all those things the doctor wrote on the list, like going at high speed on the bike, go up to the rooftop or having his head on water for as long as possible(his mother wasn't very pleased at that). However, the power didn't trigger, it only did at random times, like when he was surprised by a bird entering his room. For as smart as four years old Izuku was, he couldn't figure out how it worked.

He went to the park alone: it was only two blocks from his house, and it was a peaceful neighborhood. He initially went to see if Kachan was there, but instead, he found again the blue haired boy. He ran to the boy to say hello, who this time was accompanied by a man made of mist.

-"Shigaraki!"

-"Who's that?"asked a concerned Kurogiri,"Do we know him? Do we know his parents? When did you meet?"

-"Hey, Midoriya. How is it going with this quirk searching?" said Tomura, ignoring the clothed misted who was now mumbling something about security in the swing of the park

-"I think I know what it is" said the green haired boy cheerful, "Though I don't know how to activate it."

-"Well, it's something. So? What is it?"

-"I think I can stop time"

-"WHAT?", asked an incredulous Tomura

-"NANI?", Asked an even more incredulous Kurogiri

-"But that's impossible", said the blue haired kid" quirks only affect the user or objects. Not the whole fucking world!"

-"Language", said the mist,"though he's right. For example my quirk only lets me warp things with my body, because of its composition: it is able to bend space and warp things, but not big things, because it's my body that does the work However yours would mean bending time itself, and stopping the whole universe's time. It wouldn't be your body that's acting, it wouldn't be possible".

-"But then", asked Midoriya,"How come I can stop it"

-"It's probably just your perception that's altered", explained Kurogiri" It's the only logical explanation."

-"But while time was stopped I could move normally."

-"Well, that… actually doesn't make sense"

-"I know Kuro", said Shigaraki" let's take him to Sensei. He'll know what his quirk is"

-"Who's Sensei", asked a curious Midoriya

-"He's the man that saved me. And he knows all about quirks"

-"Tomura," said Kurogiri" I don't think it's a good idea. You know that Sensei doesn't…"

-"We could go right now!", Said Tomura, ignoring Kurogiri as he usually did

-"I don't know…" Midoriya said awkwardly," mom, wouldn't like that a go to a friend's house without telling her…"

-"Well what about tomorrow?" Said Tomura, as he turned to face Kurogiri," That way you can tell your mom and I can tell Sensei!"

-"Ok! Do you want me to bring some toys? I could definitely bring some toys!", Said Izuku, not used to kids actually inviting him to their house

-"I think I could allow that", said Kurogiri," though it's nearly lunchtime. We should get going Tomura"

-"Yeah, yeah, don't be a pest. It's not like we're on a rush or anything…"

-"We're having curry today", said the mist as his yellow eyes teased the kid

-"As I was saying, We should probably get going" said Shigaraki with the same tone as before,"It's actually getting late"

Izuku couldn't help but laugh at his friend's reaction. He was the only kid that didn't treat him like an invalid, or bullied him because of his apparent quirklessness. That reminded him of something

-"Tomura", he asked"what's your quirk"

Seconds passed without anyone saying anything, and Izuku started to think he activated his power again, but Tomura opened his mouth and talked.

-"That's none of your business" he said quietly, looking at the ground. After a pause, he continued, "I'll be tomorrow at this time of the day here"

And with that, him and Kurogiri warped away, leaving Izuku asking himself if he said something wrong, and finally deciding to go home

At the hideout:

Tomura was in his room playing with his Switch, while Kurogiri was cleaning some glasses as usual. However, he stopped as the monitor turned on, revealing the figure of All for One.

-"So", he said," I see you went to the park. And that you have found an interesting kid"
-"Yes sir", said the mist as he put the glass on the counter" Young Tomura was hoping you could help his friend with his quirk"

-"Yes, yes" said Sensei in the more classical villain pose ever: legs crossed, chin resting on the arm and his hand covering half his face. Or as I like to call it: the Lelouch pose, "bring him to me tomorrow. I'll...help him"

-"You're taking his quirk aren't you?", asked Kurogiri

-"No, I'll simply.. help him"

-"You're so taking his quirk"

-"Farewell Kurogiri", and with that, the monitor returned to black

-"He's so so taking the quirk", said Kurogiri as he returned to his activities.

The next day

Izuku had asked his mom about going to Tomura's, and at first she had been almost crying, because it was the first time a kid invited him over. Sure, there was Katsuki, but Inko wasn't really sure about the kid's relationship with his son. So when she was told that his son had a new friend, she obviously said yes. I mean, it's just two kids playing with Allmight figurines, what could go wrong?

Izuku headed to the park, where Tomura was waiting with his guardian. The green haired boy had brought almost every hero related toy he had, hoping to surprise the boy

-"Shigaraki!"

-"Hey, what's up", said Tomura,"You ready?"

-"Ready for what?", asked Izuku curiously

-"We live a little far away, so Kuro here will warp us", he said as he pointed Kurogiri with his thumb

-"Thank you sir!" exclaimed Izuku, something that made the mist blush (though it was a purpler shade of purple, not pink, so not really noticeable)

-"Anyways"said Kurogiri regaining his composure, "let's get going"

And with that the mist and the two kids disappeared, leaving a purple trace.

At the bar, moments earlier:

All for One was already in the bar, waiting for Kurogiri to appear with the kid, with a glass of cognac in his hand. He wanted to obviously gain the quirk of the kid: The power of stopping time. The power to rule over the world. However, his gut was telling him it wouldn't be that simple, and one doesn't just run an empire for 8 generations without listening to his gut. In case he somehow wasn't able to retrieve the power, he had already thought of some things. It just depended on how manipulable the kid was. The adult chuckled as he finished his drink. This power was what he had been searching all this time: Strong enough to stop One for All once and for all. That… parasite had been growing stronger with time, he needed to stop it

Sensei's thoughts were interrupted by the mist appearing with the two kids. The green haired boy was smaller than Tomura, probably two or three years younger. 'Good', he thought 'Impressionable and easy to manipulate'

-"Master", said Kurogiri, as he tilted his head a little,"I have arrived. This is the kid young Tomura was talking about"

-"Yes, I see," said the black haired man, his hands closed,"and he wanted help with his quirk"

-"Y-yes, s-sir" responded Izuku. He didn't know what it was, but there was something about the man that terrified him. It was as if he had some sort of aura, that made breathing hard, and his hands sweat. But at the same time, this… "fear", so to call it, was comforting, as if he knew he was protected by it

-"Well, let's get started then"

Sensei approached the kid, and placed his hand on his head. He tried using his quirk, but it didn't work. He took away his hand en placed it again on his head. It was as this kid's "quirk" ( he wasn't sure if he should call it that way) was made out of sand: It was impossible to retrieve. 'As I thought,' he said to himself, ' it's not actually a quirk'

-"I-is there something wrong?"asked Izuku, starting to get used to the presence of the ominous man

-"No, it's just… you have a really nice hair." said All for One as he started to pet the kid's head. "Anyways, for now, why don't you go play with Tomura? In the meantime, I'll prepare some tests to help you"

-"Allright Sensei", intervened Shigaraki for the first time. He knew he shouldn't talk unless he was given permission, directly or by the context of the conversation. It wasn't that he feared his sensei, no. It was a proof of his respect and admiration toward him.

And so, the two kids headed towards Tomura's room, in the second floor. Meanwhile, All for One had warped with his own quirk to the warehouse where he stored the Nomus. He then entered his computer and started searching in his files. He was looking for a file, a report given to him a long time ago, 160 years ago or so. He finally found it, and clicked on the file, that only had 3 words as title, in all capital letters: "BITES THE DUST".

Tomura's room:

Izuku entered his friend's room and was a little surprised to find that there wasn't much to it: just a bed, a desk with a chair, a closet, and a shelf where lied some books and a DS.

-"So, what do you wanna do first?", asked Tomura," we could play some card game. We could try chess, Kurogiri taught me a little, though I don't understand it really. I mean, why would a horse move in the form of an 'L'. It's just stupid"

-"We could play with the toys I brought!", said Izuku exited," I have this Allmight figure that does a Detroit Smash, and this other one a little bit bigger that says "I am here" whenever you press the button on the back. It's really funny because if you push it repeatedly, it goes "I-I-I-I am-I-I…"

-"Huh", chuckled Tomura" always those damned heroes…"

Izuku didn't know what to respond to that comment. He had never met a kid that disliked heroes. Why would someone dislike them, they help people. But again, Izuku had never met someone that would befriend him.

-"Why… why do you say that?" asked Izuku concerned

-"They're all fakes, they make me want to puke", said Shigaraki, clenching his fists. "Yesterday, you asked me what my quirk was." he reached a pencil he had on the desk, grabbing it with it with every finger except the thumb. "Well it's called Decay" with that, he leaned his fifth finger on the pencil, and it started to turn into dust

-"Woah…" said the green haired kid, amazed "that's a very powerful quirk"

-"Tch. Because of this quirk I lost everything", he said, as he sat on the bed" I used to live with my parents and my grandfather. Apparently, my grandmother was a hero and died even before I got to met her. We lived in a small apartment complex. On day, we were all returning home, after buying some groceries. We were mugged. The assaulter had some kind of quirk that turned his fingers into guns. My father tried to dialogue with the mugger. However, he got impatient, and shot to the sky. It scared me, and I fell to the ground. It was only a week ago that I have discovered my quirk. So when I fell to the ground, I started decaying it. My parents and my grandpa fell to the sewerage, dying instantly. The assaulter however, got away.

-"I'm.. I'm sorry, Shigara…"

-"Don't be", cut the kid" was all my fault. But the thing that infuriates me", he said pointing to the toy, "are this so called "heroes". If they are able to save anyone, with a smile on their face, how come they didn't save mom and dad?" asked Tomura, tears on his eyes" How come they didn't save grandpa? And my grandmother, she calls herself a hero? She was never there for us, even for my father, she just… abandoned him"

Izuku didn't know what to say. He had never heard such a sad story coming from a kid. He had never stopped to think about heroes that way. He never thought that heroes couldn't save everybody.

-"Those, Midoriya", said Tomura, opening his arms as he cried," are the heroes you worship. Hypocrites, that only lets you see the nice side of the story, that only want to look good. This assauter was never caught. Wanna know why? It was just a low level criminal, it wouldn't boost anyone's fame catching him. The only true hero I know is my Sensei, the man that rescued me, that gave me a house, food and a new family. And it just infuriates me that everybody just thinks that heroes are the best. They don't know anything." And with that, he laid at the end of the bed, looking at the ceiling.

Izuku didn't know what to do. He had never had to confront anyone. Heck he never had a true friend except for Kachan, and that kid didn't let his emotions out (that weren't pure rage, of course). However, he laid on the bed with him, staring at the ceiling as well.

-"In that case Shigaraki", he said after a whole minute of silence, " I'll become a true hero, one that will end all problems, and that will never let anything like that happen"

-"Hmph", said the blue haired kid, a little smile on his face "call me Tomura."

A/N:

You thought I wasn't going to upload until next week right? BUT IT WAS ME, DIO.

I felt kind of bad, making the first chapter so short, so i thought i should compensate it;)

It's fucking crazy the amount of support I have received in less than 24 hours, and I can't thank you enough.

I have been asked if Izuku will gain ZA WARUDO's speed and strength, and to clarify that quickly, I will say it here:

No, he won't. He will gain strength and speed through physical training, sot matching ZA WARUDO's, but still, good enough. I have also thought of some other abilities involving the mechanic of time stop, as well as a way to balance it, we don't want Deku to be too OP

Anyways, this time for, real, until next week, thanks for the support, and stay tuned for more!
