New Protector of Earthrealm is Born!
"(Damn it, why am I even here in the first place?)" Izuku asked himself, watching the scene where a villain is attacking with a hostage in literally his sludgy body.
Izuku is somewhat short for his age, his round face framed by a short mess of fluffy dark-green hair which sticks up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular, their irises the same green color as his hair, which at times are very watery, usually stretched quite wide, giving him an innocent appearance. He has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek. He wears his middle school uniform as a plain black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons, accompanied by white sneakers. While at home, he wears a green jinbei over a white shirt, and gray sweatpants.
Izuku had been through a rough day, it was the usually getting insulted and bullied by his former childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo, or Kacchan as his nickname, though his insulted hurt far more than before. Then he met the number one hero himself, All Might, which was the greatest day of his life and even getting his autograph but his heart became broken when All Might said he couldn't become a hero without a Quirk and thus, it was the final straw of realization that he should give up on being a hero.
He was on his way home feeling sad that he now has to put his old dream to rest for good, but he suddenly found himself in the scene where a villain is attacking and he has a middle school student as a hostage. Izuku gasps upon seeing it is Kacchan being consumed by the sludge villain consuming him to take over his body as Kacchan struggles in vain to get out, he also sees the heroes are struggling to rescue him. Two try charging at the villain to pull the boy out of the slimy body, but the villain kept them at bay with either his slimy tentacles or uses Kacchan's Explosion Quirk against his will to push the heroes back.
"Do you want to save him?"
"Huh?" Izuku confused, the voice didn't sound like anyone here.
"Even though he had tormented you for years, do you still wish to save him from death?" The mysterious voice asked again.
"I… I do, but…" Izuku answered, but hesitated as he looks down in shame. Feeling it was his fault that the slime villain All Might caught earlier is loose now.
"Then you must take action. Do not let fear stop you from doing what you believe is right, let your spirit roars and your body moves of that!" The mysterious voice encouraged.
"But I can't, I don't have a Quirk and I could get killed." Izuku trembled in fear.
"Really? Then why are you running to rescue Katsuki?"
"WHAAAAT?!" Izuku gasped suddenly finding himself running toward the sludge villain and Kacchan, not understanding why he is running as if his body is moving on its own.
"Uh, that kid again? I don't need you, drop dead!" The sludge villain lashed a slime tentacle at Izuku.
Izuku didn't have time to dodge as the tentacle is moving too fast for him, but suddenly his body starts to emit sparks of lightning around his body and he suddenly blitz toward Kacchan before the tentacle was a foot over his head as it hits the ground much to the villain's shock. Then acting on instinct, Izuku thrust his hand toward the slime villain's face, somehow unleashing a strong stream of fire at the face temporary blind to loosen his grip on Katsuki allowing him to breath.
"What the… Deku! What are you doing here, and what's with the lightning sparks around you and the fire?" Katsuki confused beyond reason that this shitty nerd suddenly has a Quirk.
"I don't know, my body just start moving and I don't even know how I did all that!" Izuku said as he quickly grabs Katsuki by the collar of his shirt slowly pulling him out the sludge villain's body.
Then all the memories of Izuku's from his childhood to today about him not becoming a hero and never getting a Quirk, and now he found himself with power as if the Gods above have finally answered his prayer as he manage to pull Katsuki out by half way to the bottom half of his body.
"Kacchan… I couldn't just stand there and watch you die!" Izuku said trying to put up a smile.
"Damn it, so it looks like you were more special than I thought. It's too bad I couldn't take over your body, but now you're dead!" The sludge villain said as he raises a huge slime hand to crush Izuku.
The slime hand swings down to crush him, but a large muscle arm blocks the attack and Izuku quickly recognize the large man and that big smile.
"All Might…!" Izuku shocked of seeing him again.
"I really am pathetic. I told you the traits that make a great champion, but I see now I wasn't living up to my own ideal." All Might grunted and rip the slime off his arm and easily pull Katsuki out of the sludge villain's body.
"Pros are always willing to risk their life! That's the true test of a hero!" All Might determined as blood gush out of his mouth.
"DAMN YOU, ALL MIGHT?!" The sludge villain shouted in anger.
"Detroit Smash" All Might unleashed a powerful punch that created a tornado that blew away the villain, and a few seconds later it starts raining as everyone realize that he just changed the weather with a single punch.
"(Wow!)" Izuku thought amazed of All Might feat, glad to see how strong he is up close.
(Later)
Izuku is seen walking home after the incident, and getting scolded by the Pro heroes for jumping into danger like that, and has been thinking of how he did the fire and lightning back there and who was the man he heard from his head.
"Deku!" Katsuki yelled getting his attention.
"Kacchan?" Izuku wondered what he could want right now.
"Listen! I didn't need your help, so don't go thinking I owe you anything! Got it?" Katsuki said angry and walk away heading home growling a little.
"What was that about?" Izuku confused of what Kacchan was trying to say.
Izuku decided not to think about it just and headed home.
"I am here!" All Might entered the scene from a corner.
"All Might, what are you doing here and how did you get away from those reporters?" Izuku asked.
"I stand for Justice! Not soundbites because I, I am All Mi-" All Might didn't finish his sentence as he reverted back to his true, skeleton-like appearance form and coughing out blood making Izuku scream.
"Young man, I came here about the question you asked earlier, but I also wanted to know about that fire and lightning you did. I thought you said you didn't have a Quirk." All Might said, confuse of that.
"I never lied about that, All Might. I didn't know how I did that either, before I knew I was running at the villain, I heard a voice telling to go in to save Kacchan and my body just moved on its own. The fire and lightning, it was almost like someone gave me this power." Izuku tried to explain it the best he could while he is confuse as well.
"Is that so, I can already tell you're not the lying type otherwise I would've thought you were crazy." All Might said.
"I feel the same way about myself too." Izuku concerned looking down at his hand then fire appears on his right hand and lightning on his left hand.
"Well, we can worry about that later. I came here to thank you for what you did, I would have been just a bystander if you haven't jump in to save your friend, that action inspired me to act too despite my limits." All Might thanked.
"Oh no, it was nothing like that. It was my fault that villain escaped you in the first place." Izuku stated.
"I'm not done yet. There are many stories of many heroes, and most of them have one thing in common: their bodies move on their own before they could even think. And that's what you did." All Might said with a heroic serious look in his eyes and Izuku gasps clutching onto his chest and fell on his knees.
Izuku remember what his mom said to him when he was a little boy, apologizing and wish things were different, the words he wanted to hear his mom said was he can be a hero.
"Young man, you too can become a hero." All Might said and Izuku cries of joy that someone finally encourage him to become a hero for real.
"And now, I deem you worthy of my power, my Quirk if you wish to inherit." All Might declared.
Izuku stop crying and look at All Might with confusion of what is he talking about until the world's Symbol of Peace begun to explain about his Quirk called One for All and Izuku is having a major of this truth.
(UA High, Principal Office)
"Well, it would seem I got the approval from the government go on with this plan, that's a good start." A man said smiling and rest on his chair.
This man is not exactly a man per say, he is a short man who appears to be a possible combination of several different animals, including a dog, a mouse, and a bear, which would make him a chimera. He has the head of a mouse with circular black eyes, a large scar over the right one, relatively square-shaped ears with pale pink insides slanting outwards from the top of his head, and an elongated muzzle with a small round nose. His fur is white and has large, dog-like paws with pink pads and a thin tail like that of a cat. He sports a white dress shirt, a dark red tie around his neck, a black double-breasted waistcoat and matching dress pants. He wears orange lace-up sneakers with incredibly thick soles which seem to be quite large on him.
"I'm still against this idea, Principal Nezu, changing UA into something like… this." Another man said, almost sound tiring.
"I was against this idea as well, Aizawa, until the man who came to me about it showed me that sometimes you can't always be merciful to the cruelest and dangerous villains." Nezu mentioned.
This man is Shota Aizawa AKA the Erasure Hero: Eraser Head, he's a slender and tall pale-skinned man with messy, shoulder-length black hair that partially hangs in front of his face and often half-opened black eyes, appearing worn-out. His facial hair remains unkempt and his eyes almost always looked tired and flat. He wears a ragged black outfit that consists of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. He also wears a utility belt, and his signature wrap scarf at all times. He hides a pair of yellow goggles underneath his scarf for when he needs to use them in battle.
"I know the world can be cruel even to the most heroic heroes, but that doesn't mean should stood to their level staining our good name in blood just because one man says otherwise." Aizawa argued.
"You have every right to be angry about this, but as time goes on so are the villains getting more clever and vicious with their ways that they'll kill more innocent people than the few the heroes can save them. I did not want to think of such possibility, I wanted to believe that no hero should have the need to spill any blood even to those of the villains. However, such things are unavoidable." Nezu explained as he turns around on his chair and look out the window.
"The people won't be to please with this once word gets out about UA starting a killing program." Aizawa pointed out.
"I'm aware of that, and they have the right to shout in anger at us, but this will be something those in shadows wishes to do and have known about killing a little longer than most children should actually know." Nezu stated.
"…You're not going to change your mind about this, are you?" Aizawa asked.
"Nope, I made up my mind and I also made a vow to him and the government that I will take full responsibility for this if everything were to go wrong." Nezu explained as he jumps out of his chair and walks to the door.
Aizawa let out a sigh, for as long as he knows this little mouse man, Nezu has always been the type to think things through many times on many occasions that would help benefit the school and how the prepare the next generations of heroes for them to face the world once they graduate from this school. When Nezu told him about this plan and what the new kind of heroes they'll be training starting the next school year, Aizawa thought he has gone insane and try to reason with only to be stop by Nezu's own reason and see truth in his eye. The erasing eyes hero has also understand that sometimes heroes have to make the hardest decisions, especially when it comes to killing their enemies which he hates to admit.
"Okay, and I get it you already got some numbers of students to join UA in this program?" Aizawa asked.
"Yes, he helped found quite some special young ones who are perfect for this program and they also have the intention of wanting to become heroes with kindness and compassion, but also have kill only to those who deserves death." Nezu nodded as they walk out of the office.
"I bet it'll be hard to convince them to join UA." Aizawa said.
"Maybe, but nevertheless they will join UA if they want to stay off being chased by the police and arrest into life sentence in prison." Nezu mentioned.
"I guess we're really doing this. By the way, you never told me who was this man you mention, he must be a pretty big deal to have gotten your attention." Aizawa wondered about the man who gave you the idea for this program.
"Oh, you could say he's a very big deal." Nezu smiled.
"Okay, though I have a little question about the name of the new hero course program. Couldn't you have come up with some better?" Aizawa asked.
"I believe Mortal Kombat fits perfectly, and it was his idea so I can't exactly refuse it." Nezu answered.
(Unknown Location)
High at the very top of a mountain, inside a large ancient Japanese palace within one large and wide room is a man sitting in the middle meditation for quite a long time until his eyes open showing them to be pure white and electric sparks emits form them.
"Everything has been set, now to see how this will turn out in the end as the realm will enter a new path of heroes and some blood in their hands." The man said as his body emits flames and lightning.
He walks to a small pool as it shows him Izuku and All Might talking together before separating to start their training together.
"Izuku Midoriya, a boy destined to become an embodiment of hope. Now with the power of fire and thunder I have given you, along with All Might's One for All will help you face great challenges to save the world from darkness." The man said walking away from the pool and stepping outside on a balcony.
