As I promised! Here's the next chapter.
Enjoy!
(Revised as of 4/14/20)
All might gave him a nod, "I see. This is indeed a powerful Quirk. You mentioned having six Quirks correct? What's your final Quirk?"
At this, Izuku violently flinched as he looked down. The adults grew worried.
"What's wrong?" Aizawa asked as his eyebrow rose at the boy's strange behavior.
Softly, Izuku spoke, "I'm not exactly proud of this quirk. In fact, it's because of this Quirk that I have all the other Quirks I mentioned."
All Might sat up straighter as he heard something similar to this before, 'Could it be? Does have…?"
He shook his head as he reassured the boy, "Young man, do not be afraid to tell us. That's why we are here, to help you with anything that may be troubling you from your time as a captive. But to do so, we must know. Please. Tell us what your last quirk is." All Might asked softly.
Izuku took a moment to recompose himself as he spoke in a quiet voice.
"My final Quirk… is called Inheritance," he began.
"What does it do?" Aizawa asked.
"… it allows me to copy any Quirk from a person I come with direct contact with, allowing me to use it whenever I want to." Izuku slowly said.
Silence swept around the room. The Pros were in a state of shock. How could they not? They just met someone who claims that they could gain any quirk they wanted as long as they touched someone. A Quirk such as this was extremely useful, unusual, and dangerous. If it were a villain wielding such power, it would have called for great concern.
All Might was shocked most of all, 'It's just like his! Is this boy somehow related to All for One? NO! I can't make any assumptions before I ask him myself.
"Young man," he began as Izuku turned towards him.
"This power… it was given to you, correct?" All might asked, letting out a sigh of relief as he was answered with an affirmative nod from Izuku.
"There are a few limitations, however," Izuku continued as he gained the adult's attention. "While I can copy a person's Quirk, I cannot copy Mutation Quirks for obvious reasons. Hybrid Quirks are also hard to copy, but not impossible."
"How so?" All Might asked.
"If two Quirks were to merge, then they'll evolve into a new Quirk. I can copy this new Quirk, but it'll more likely than not separate the Quirk back into its two original Quirks." Izuku explained.
"Huh, it looks like Evolution did you a bit of favor of gaining more than one quirk from one person," Aizawa commented. Izuku gave him a look of confusion.
"I haven't mentioned how Evolution mutated this Quirk yet," he said as the adult's eye widened once again.
"Evolution allows me to forcibly steal a person's Quirk if I so desired. Since it doesn't make sense for me to have two of the same Quirks, it gives me two options." The Pros leaned in in anticipation.
"I could either store it away so that I may return the Quirk or give it to someone else. Or…" at this Izuku trailed off.
"Or?"
"... I could instantly destroy the Quirk I stole. A kill switch if you will." Izuku finished.
Once again, the room was filled with silence as the Pro Heros let the information properly sink in. Once it did, All Might began,
"That's some Quirk you got there. Is this what you meant by only being aware of the Quirks you have at your current possession?"
Izuku nodded, "That and among other things. The scientists that experimented on me mentioned that other Quirks are dormant inside of me. They said that they manifest in certain situations, although they aren't 100% sure."
"I see. I hope you aren't thinking of using these abilities for your own benefits." Aizawa commented with narrowed eyes.
"AIZAWA!" All Might exclaimed, shocked that the Underground Hero would accuse the child of ever doing such a thing. Nezu, on the other hand, remained indifferent and only focused on the scene that began to unfold.
At this, Izuku snapped to attention, and shook his head furiously.
"NO! I could never! I… I wouldn't do such a thing… I only want to use this power for good! To help people. It's always been my dream since I was younger. Using these abilities for my own selfish reasons would go against everything I dreamed of!" Izuku proclaimed before looking down. "Truth be told, that's the only thing that's kept me going. I had to constantly remind myself who I was and what my dreams were." He glanced back up at them. "I don't want there to go through what I've been through."
The Pro Heros smiled at this. At first, they were worried that the boy might abuse his powers and use them for evil. Now they rest easy, knowing that the young boy only wanted to use his skills for good—a mark of a true hero.
Aizawa gave Izuku a rare smile, "I see. What you're saying right now, it seems like your dream is to one day become a hero. Am I right?"
Izuku nodded furiously, "That's exactly what I want to be! A hero!"
The Pro Heros looked between each other before they came to a silent agreement.
"Very well, Midoriya. Thank you for answering our questions. Follow us outside, and we'll prepare the documents to release you." Aizawa said. "Before we do, though, can you show me how your sixth Quirk works? I'd like to see it for myself."
Izuku blinked, "I don't mind, but… are you sure? I'll be copying your Quirk after all." Aizawa nodded.
"Actually, I would also like to see your Quirk in action as well." Nezu interpreted. "It'll be exciting to see how exactly your Quirk works. So please, do not be afraid to show us. You have our full permission." he finished as All Might nodded in agreement.
"All right. If you don't have any problems, then I'll gladly show you" Izuku relented. "So who's Quirk should I copy?"
The Pros looked at each other before Aizawa spoke up, raising his hand. "Try mine. It's called Erasure."
Izuku gave him a nod before he touched the Pro Hero's hand.
[Emitter Quirk detected…; Duplicating…]
[Quirk: Erasure, Duplication complete]
[Evolution: Max Potential]
Izuku blinked as his analysis was complete, "It's done. Unfortunately, Evolution was unable to mutate it into a new Quirk, but it did give me a time extension on how long I use Erasure. It looks like it's shortening of its maximum duration with repeated use was erased."
'Lucky bastard,' Aizawa grumbled at the benefit Izuku's quirk gave him.
"Can you demonstrate your newly acquired Quirk on All Might here?" Nezu asked as All Might prepared to use his quirk.
Izuku nodded before he focused his attention on All Might, activating the quirk at the same time. At the same time, All Might tried to feel the same familiar sensation whenever he uses his Quirk. To his surprise, he was unable to activate his Quirk, proving that Izuku's duplication of Aizawa's Quirk worked. After a while, Izuku blinked as he deactivated his new Quirk.
"Guess that makes seven."
Nezu smiled at him, "Before we finish, is there anything else you would like to tell us?"
Izuku began to calm down before he started thinking. After a short moment, he nodded his head, "There is actually. I'm not sure how relevant this is now, considering that I'm no longer in their control, but they said I was created to target certain groups."
"And what would these targets be?" Nezu asked.
Izuku turned to look at him before answering, "Heroes and Villains."
Soon after that, Izuku, as well as the Pro Heros, bidding each other farewell before they split their ways.
Aizawa turned towards Izuku and asked, "Are there any family members that we could contact? Even family friends?"
Izuku shook his head, "I didn't have many friends growing up. My father left when I was very young, from what I remember. As for my mother…" Izuku trailed off with a solemn look on his face.
The Erasure Hero nearly smacked his head for not realizing it sooner before he asked. How else was Izuku taken away without them having to use force? Aizawa gave a hard thought before concluding, letting out a sigh as he did.
"If you want, I could take you in with me," Izuku looked at him in surprise.
"Really? You'll do that for me?"
Aizawa gave him a short nod, "I don't mind. After all, it does get pretty lonely back home." he mumbled. Izuku sweatdropped at this before he blinked as he remembered something.
"May I make a request?" Izuku inquired.
Aizawa rose an eyebrow at this, "Go on."
"When I first got my Gas Quirk, it went out of control due to a 'containment breach.'" Izuku began. "Unfortunately, I inhaled too much of my gas, messing up my respiratory system quite a bit. Can I get a gas mask or something of the like to help regulate my breathing?" He asked.
Aizawa pondered for a bit before nodding, "I don't see why not. Should be doable."
"Thank you."
"First, we'll have to sign a few adoption papers, but after that, you're all set. Let's head for the adoption center, alright?" Izuku happily nodded at this.
However, they were interrupted as an earth-shattering explosion was heard from outside.
KABOOM!
Aizawa narrowed his eyes as he focused his attention on the outside of the station.
"What was that?" he asked as he rushed outside to assess the situation.
Not noticing that Izuku was close behind.
Once he was outside, Aizawa began looking around, trying to find the source of the trouble. 'Fire?' He spotted before running towards it. 'Of all the times All Might had to disappear, it had to be now!' Aizawa screamed mentally as he continued running.
Only to dodge when a steel beam nearly impaled him, followed by four villains.
"Well, what do we have here? A hero trying to save people?" One of them taunted.
"Hehe. Hey, let's show him what happens when heroes try to mess with us!" Another taunted as they rushed towards him.
Aiwaza pulled down his goggles as he jumped back to avoid a flurry of punches that came from the third villain.
"Come on, hero! I came here because there's supposed to be a good fight. So, come on! Show me just how strong you are!" The third villain shouted as he used his Quirk Strongarm to shower the Erasure Hero with punches.
"Hey, come on, Rappa! Leave some for us!" The fourth villain yelled as he sent another steal beam towards Aizawa.
'This isn't good. I can't keep dodging forever.' He thought to himself as he avoided the first villain. "I have to erase the big one's quirk if I want to capture the other two. But they keep getting out of my sight!'
Unfortunately, his train of thought distracted him, catching him off balance as he landed. Rappa saw Eraserhead leave himself open and decided to take his moment of opportunity.
"You're done now!" Rappa shouted as he rapidly approached the Eraser hero.
'Crap!' Aizawa cursed as he braced himself for the onslaught of punches.
As Rappa got closer, he readied his Quirk to rain down punches. Only to jump back when a black bladed chain burst from the ground in front of him.
"Huh? What's this?" Rappa questioned as he jumped to safety.
Aizawa blinked, realizing where the chain was coming from and began to look for the source behind it. It didn't take long for him to spot Izuku, who was only a few feet away with an unreadable expression plastered on his face. Aizawa's eyes widened in shock, "WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?!'
One of the villains snuck up behind Eraser and enlarged his fist,
"Don't get distracted!" he yelled, getting ready to smash the hero into the ground.
Only to be kicked away from Aizawa, courtesy of Izuku, who copied his quirk at the same time.
[Transformation Quirk detected…; Duplicating…]
[Quirk: Big Fist, Duplication complete]
[Evolution Quirk: Giantification]
The villain slowly got up, "...ow … what the? What the hell's a kid doing here?"
"Doesn't matter, just some kid playing hero. Why don't we teach this brat a lesson?" One of the villains said with a sinister smirk.
"No." The villains turned to Rappa.
"Leave this brat to me. He interrupted my fight, so now I gotta teach this punk what happens when you mess with adults!" He angrily yelled as he rushed towards the boy.
Eraserhead's eyes widened, "Izuku!" He yelled out in worry before he had to dodge another steel beam.
"Hey, your fight's with us, hero! Don't ignore us just yet!" The villain taunted with a smirk.
Aizawa gritted his teeth, 'Be careful out there, Izuku. I hope your Quirks and abilities aren't all just for show."
With Izuku:
"C'mon kid! I'll show you what a real fight's all about!" Rappa yelled as he rushed towards Izuku.
Once he got close enough, Izuku proceeded to vault over Rappa, touching his back while doing so.
[Emitter Quirk detected…; Duplicating…]
[Quirk: Strongarm, Duplication complete]
[Evolution Quirk: Stronglimb]
'I can't fight this guy with just Giantification. I'll need his Quirk so that I can at least match him.' Izuku thought to himself.
"C'mon stop dodging! Let's give each other a good fight with just our fists!" he said, smiling when he saw Izuku adjusting himself into a fighting stance.
He grew himself bigger using Giantification, 'I'm much smaller than, so I should be able to take him on if I can at least reach him.' Izuku thought to himself.
"Good! You understand where I'm getting at! This is gonna be good! Let's start!" Rappa yelled excitedly, launching himself towards the boy.
Izuku met him halfway, launching his own barrage of punches at Rappa, matching each blow to avoid damage to himself.
"Yes! Now we're talking! You've got some great fight in you, kid! Let's make this a battle to the death!" Rampa shouted at Izuku, who remained silent during their slugfest.
Once he saw an opening, Izuku launched a kick towards Rappa, who threw his arms up to block the attack. From there, he grabbed the young fighter and threw him away. Izuku adjusted himself mid-flight, skitting across the ground into a halt. Summoning a chain, he hurled it towards Rappa, nearly dodging it as the bladed chain smashed into the ground. As Izuku retracted the chain, it pulled him towards Rappa, crushing him with a devastating drop-kick to the stomach.
Rappa's eyes widened in pain, releasing an "Oof!" as he was sent flying into a building, smashing against the structure.
As Izuku landed, he waited to see if Rappa was knocked conscious. A rumbling was heard before Rappa burst from the rubble, shirt completely torn with his pants not far behind.
"Heh...hehe… HAHAHAHA!" Rappa slowly released before it became a burst of full-blown laughter.
"Hahaha...ha...ha...heh… I'll admit… I wasn't expecting that. Not bad kid, you put up a great fight, kid." Rampa complimented with a grin before he fell to one knee.
"It's too bad… if you hadn't hit my weak point, we could've fought for a while longer… I know when I'm beaten. So I'll let you have this victory… I hope… we fight again… someday." he finally released before he slipped into unconsciousness.
Once he knew that the villain wasn't going to be waking up anytime soon, Izuku relaxed, letting out a sigh from the short but tough fight.
'At least the fight wasn't too long as I thought… he was incredibly powerful, even with my Quirks. Him remaining conscious enough to speak to me was proof enough of his strength.' Izuku thought before he rushed back to where Aizawa was, leaving the unconscious villain for the police to collect for later.
From the shadows, a man wearing a plague mask was carefully observing the scene before his eyes glanced towards the unconscious villain.
"Hmm. He should prove to be rather useful."
Aizawa was not having a good day.
Not too long ago, he was part of a raid operation that took several hours to perform and report—making him lose sleep. From there, he had to interrogate a child whom he found during the raid, learning more about the boy as they questioned him. Useful, but still made him lose sleep.
Now he had to fight against three villains who seemed to have more energy than him, while also worrying about the child who he rescued who was currently engaging one of the villains away from the group—making him lose. More. SLEEP!
Aizawa was going to grow grey hairs by the time they were finished.
As he jumped over one of the villains, he launched his capture cloth towards two of the villains, smashing them together before one of them escaped.
"Not bad! But now, try this!" One of the villains shouted before he sent a steel beam towards the Erasure hero.
Aizawa grunted in annoyance before he got out of the way, using his scarf to pull him to safety.
"You're wide open!" The big fast villain exclaimed as he brought his fist down on the hero.
Aizawa noticed it too late, "Dammit!"
In the blink of an eye, several chains were seen wrapping around the villain's fist and pulled him away from the hero.
"What the-?" he was interrupted as several more chains wrapped around his figure tightly, before smashing him to the ground into unconsciousness.
Aizawa looked behind the downed villain, spotting Izuku, who was retracting his chains back to himself, giving the Erasure hero a thumbs up, "You ok?"
Aizawa responded with a small nod, "Yeah. How did your fight go?... And did you get taller?"
The boy shook his head, "The guy's unconscious. I'll explain later after we beat these villains. Sound good?"
The Erasure hero weighed his options. On the one hand, he shouldn't let a boy, no older than seven, help in this kind of situation. On the other hand, he was going low on fumes and needed as much help as he can get. Not to mention that the boy proved to be a resourceful fighter if the fact that he took down two villains by himself wasn't proof enough.
Aizawa nodded towards him and motioned him to get ready, "Let's try to finish this quick. Avoid causing any explosions that may cause property damage, alright?"
Izuku prepared himself, "Right!"
And together, they rushed towards the villains.
The fight didn't last long soon after that. After all three were checked to be an unconscious state, Izuku had them firmly wrapped in his chains until the police arrived. Once they did, Izuku handed the villains off to the police. Unfortunately, they were unable to locate where Rappa was, having been disappeared from where he was left lying behind.
Aizawa joined Izuku by his side, who was sitting in an ambulance breathing through an emergency respiratory mask, coughing every now and then.
"How are you holding up?" Aizawa asked.
Izuku took a long breath of his mask before he responded, "A lot better. If I had this before the fight, then we wouldn't have to worry." he turned his face to face Aizawa, "What about you? Do you have any injuries?"
Aizawa shook his head, "Nothing too serious. I just have to rest for a couple of days. Should be fine by then."
"I see."
There was silence between the two before Aizawa broke it.
"So, those were your abilities, huh? He asked.
Izuku nodded as he watched the villains being placed into police cars, "Yes, but only a small portion. I didn't have to use all my abilities for this fight. Maybe in a larger group, will you see the extent of my abilities."
"I see."
A comfortable silence washed over them once again.
"So… about those adoption papers?"
Aizawa released a soft chuckle.
And done! So what did you guys think? Not bad for my first fight scene. At least in my opinion. Don't worry; I'll try to improve it as the story progresses onto the canon story. Speaking of which, the next chapter is where we officially enter the can arc! Hurry!
What else? Oh! Here's a list of the girls who will be joining Izuku's little harem!
Harem List:
Nejire Hado
Mei Hatsume
Itsuka Kendo
Shoko Todoroki (Female Shouto Todoroki)
Momo Yaoyorozu
Ochaco Uruaraka
Setsuna Tokage
If anyone is wondering, yes, this is the order in which when each girl will join Izuku's harem. You guys can request girls to be added to this list, but the ones that are on the list can't be taken out. Depending on who you ask to be added, it can affect who will be joining when.
Now onto two things:
First: do you want me to start the relationships before or during UA? Personally, I believe I should start before UA, not too far back, though. If you guys disagree, please let me know why and I may reconsider. This may also affect who will be joining when.
Second: Should I have Izuku save Eri early? I have an idea of how, but I'm kind of debating whether or not if I should, which is why I'm asking if Eri should be saved early.
That's all I have to say so please let me know as soon as possible! The next chapter may come late Sunday or Monday.
Enjoy your day!
