Hello and welcome to NEW experimental fanfic of Boku no Hero Academia, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, and for the first time, I will incorporate some sci-fi-horror elements here with some character deaths, as this will be more of an action-packed story with some drama and well…violence.

This started when the cable provider I have in the Philippines (CIGNAL TV) have launched a new cable channel called HITS MOVIES, which showed classic movies from the 1970's to the 1990's, in addition to the cable channel HITS TV. While scrolling the HITS MOVIES channel, I came across a 90's movies which is sci-fi mixed with some military-driven plot, which somewhat piqued my curiosity.

The movie that I accidentally got a glimpse of turns out to be the 1997 film Starship Troopers, which kick-started the careers of then-emerging popular movie actors like Denise Richards, Dina Meyer and Casper Van-Dien. Deciding to watch the movie after seeing the ANTAGONISTS of that film, I was curious about young soldiers taking on alien insects, and it piqued my interest.

Suddenly I recall having read the current manga chapters of My Hero Academia, where the pro heroes and the UA students going into war with the Paranornal Liberation Front, and this gave me the inspiration to make a fanfic version based on the movie.

Yup, the fic I'm bringing up will pit pro heroes against alien insects, which comes to question on whethere a pro heroes' Quirk would be a match against something that is of extraterrestrial in origin, and the plot I'm making bears a resemblance to the Paranormal Liberation War arc, with the difference is that the pro heroes won't be facing villains, instead insects.

Izuku Midoriya will be the main character here, and that Class 1-A and 1-B will play a role here, along with the teachers of UA High, as they will also play a role in the upcoming chapters, since they will be the students' GUIDING LIGHT.

Another thing I will say. This chapter will be quite tragic as there will be several character deaths in this story, and some of the UA students will meet random, unexpected demise, and this includes some from Class 1-A and 1-B, so be prepared.

Lastly, I intend to make this an M-rated fic given that the violence level might be upped while I might add a BRIEF love scene, but will go for T-rated for the time being, unless readers of this fic requested for one.

Well then, read on and enjoy!


Ch. 1: Osoroshī hakken

It was quite a day where everything was on the line as some of the pro heroes and its students from various hero academies are involved in taking on a powerful and dangerous threat that threatens society as a whole, in which the now-dangerous Paranormal Liberation Front is on the verge of overtaking Japan when its leader, Tomura Shigaraki is poised to take victory after managing to kill the likes of several Pro Heroes, such as Crust and X-Less, and some numerous other top-ranking pro heroes.

This is because of Shigaraki's Quirk, Decay received massive enhancements thanks to Kyudai Garaki using his connections to hide the experimental procedure inside Jaku General Hospital, but thanks to Hawks, numerous pro heroes band together and assaulted the hideout of the Paranormal Liberation Front and took down several members, while the rest of the other Pro Heroes and hero students invaded the hospital.

Despite their efforts, Garaki's machinations somewhat succeeded, as Shigaraki has awakened and unleashed his enhanced Quirk which resulted in the destruction of the hospital and the surrounding areas of the city, resulting in the deaths of several pro heroes, yet some managed to escape the onslaught, and now Japan is facing an imminent crisis.

In the days that followed, the government and the pro heroes persevered, and thanks in part to Izuku Midoriya, he managed to halt Shigaraki's rampage and through unspecified means, Midoriya was able to overcome Shigaraki's Quirk, and even used Shigaraki's power to inadvertently defeat Gigantomachia for good, thus losing the PLF's main muscles.

Although irritated, he nevertheless acknowledge Midoriya's craftiness and praises the young boy for being a worthy opponent, though he admits that he made a mistake in sparing his life when he held him hostage at the mall several months ago. Shigaraki then states that he will not make the same mistake again and will finish Midoriya right here, right now.

However, Midoriya is defiant and proclaim that he will put a stop to Shigaraki's madness once and for all, which Shigaraki appeared amused for a moment, underestimating the young boy.

"You? What can you possibly hope in defeating me?"

"…"

"You're just a loser…just like All might…"

"I won't…"

"Eh?"

"I won't falter! I'll stop you no matter what!"

"Then come at me, you brat! Prove to me that you can stop me!"

"Shigaraki!"

Both Shigaraki and Midoriya began to rally their respective allies and both sides (the PLF and the UA students) began charging at each other, where moments later casualties began to rise, while Midoriya and Shigaraki began duking it out in a very tense confrontational battle.

However, thanks to the efforts of Class 1-A of UA High, notably such as Midoriya, Shigaraki was somewhat weakened to a degree after losing Gigantomachia and soon the pro heroes are starting to press their forces into attacking the PLF leader, and the process left him in a rather depleted state, and is forced to make a quick retreat.

"Damn it…!"

"Shigaraki…"

"Shigaraki…"

"Shigaraki…"

"Keep fighting! No one gives in! keep fighting till they're all dead!"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

However, Class 1-A went in pursuit as other pro heroes and students were forced to deal with the remaining PLF members who refused to surrender and thus all were dealt into a bloody stalemate that no one had any idea that the main PLF group and Class 1-A are in a high-staked chase that leads them to the outskirts of Mt. Fuji.

However, Shoto Todoroki managed to use his ice Quirk to block the escaping Shigaraki's path, and just as Shigaraki is about to retaliate by using what's left of his Decay Quirk, Shota Aizawa, aka Eraser Head, happened to be among those who join the pursuit, uses his Quirk to ERASE Shigaraki's Quirk, along with the remaining members of the PLF, and there Midoriya, reacting in a defensive impulse, uses a powered-up Full Cowling flying kick, and struck Shigaraki on his chest, rupturing his lungs and chest bone area, and the impact sends him careening back.

The impact sends Shigaraki crashing against a tree, and unfortunately for him, a rather thick branch penetrated his back and the tree branch that punctured the villain was thick enough to puncture his heart and lungs before the back of his head hits a thick rock, busting him open, and these injuries were fatal, which is enough to take him down, and there Midoriya appeared to be horrified at what he just did, even though his actions were justified and in self-defense.

Gran Torino arrived, and having witnessed everything, comforted and assured to Midoriya that what he did is justifiable and that it is right and just.

"Easy, kid."

"…"

"You did what you feel is right. You done well in stopping this madman."

"I…I…"

"It was self-defense, so you have no responsibility, kid."

"But…Gran Torino…"

"it's alright. You saved the day and Japan. Don't feel guilty."

"…"

Soon reinforcements arrived and the remaining PLF members are rounded up, and are being taken into custody, and soon the terror has ended with the defeat of the Paranormal Liberation Front and the death of Tomura Shigaraki, and the news was quickly spread through the television and social media, with many citizens relieved that peace has finally been restored and are glad that the UA students have saved Japan, and possibly the world.

A year later…

The scene shifts at UA High, where Midoriya and his classmates are now in their second year, and are sorted to Class 2-A, and as of now they are in the process of preparing a Christmas party of their at Heights Alliance, and while chatting, they had discussions about various topics, like:

New heroes made debuts and ranked among the top 10

Endeavor remained number one at the Hero Charts

New villain groups make their mark, though not on the threat level comparable to the former PLF

A new emperor and prime minister are sworn in

Taiwan finally gained INDEPENDENCE from China

North Korea seemingly went into a recluse, as there are no reports of any activities, nor its leaders making news

Midoriya is reading the newspaper and noted that North Korea seemed to be BEHAVING, as they usually gain attention whenever they tested out missiles that are suspected to have nuclear warheads, which Bakugo responded by saying that karma has gotten to them and its leaders and military heads may have contracted radiation poisoning or stuffs and are now into hiding to prevent other nations to suspect anything.

"Don't be like that, Ka-chan…"

"Why not? It's their fault…"

"Even so…"

"I'm even betting that South Korea is enjoying a peaceful time…"

"Now, now…we're in Japan, so…"

"Don't be such a boy scout, Deku."

"Eh-heh-heh…"

"Hmph."

As the two rivals are working on the preparations while the rest of their classmates are also working, Todoroki approached the two boys and asked if they would like to have work studies again under Endeavor, which Midoriya said he won't mind, and when Todoroki asked Bakugo if he too wishes to have one under Endeavor, Bakugo thought carefully, and minutes later, he said he won't mind it, as he revealed that Best Jeanist hasn't recovered from his injuries and hence her has nowhere else to go, thus he would go with Endeavor.

Todoroki nodded and said he will make preparations and that by the start of January, they will begin their new work study under the current number one hero, which Midoriya and Bakugo nodded.

"Okay. I'll inform my dad about this."

"Thanks, Todoroki-kun."

"Yeah, thanks a bunch."

"It's nothing."

"Looks like the new year will be a fruitful one."

"As long as Endeavor doesn't play favorites…"

"Ka-chan…"

"What?"

And so by January, Midoriya and Bakugo went with Todoroki as the trio began their work study under Endeavor, and the current number one hero seemingly did not mind, as he is grateful to Midoriya and Bakugo for their role in putting the end to Shigaraki and the PLF once and for all.

At UA High, the scene shifts at Power Loader's workshop, where Mei Hatsume is watching the news on TV, where it shows that the United States of America, England, Russia and China announced that they made and mass-produced space fleet ships that are to be used in outer space for exploration purposes, as many scientists from the said countries stated that they are discovering new planets, intending to see if these new planets are suitable for habitat life.

Hatsume grinned as she felt like wanting to invent one, but Power Loader tells Hatsume to take it slowly, as building a spaceship is no easy task, and it requires at least several dozen scientists and mechanics to make one, not to mention that it would require a lot of money to get parts and other resources, which the support course student sighed, yet is undaunted in making this ULTIMATE BABY her priority.

"Fu-fu-fu…I won't be discouraged!"

"How so?"

"Failure is the mother of invention…even if what I made doesn't work the way I planned…that doesn't mean it would be a waste of time…"

"Geez, Hatsume…you're going to start with that?"

"Eh?"

"You need to be a bazillionaire if you plan on inventing a set of spaceships! You're still in high school and you couldn't even afford to buy a house of your own!"

"Then I'll make a BABY that can make money…"

"That's counterfeiting!"

Elsewhere within UA, Nezu is staring at the window, feeling at peace now that the Paranormal Liberation Front has been vanquished, and peace is finally restored and now society can live in peace and harmony, and while saddened that some pro heroes and other hero students perished in the battle, their sacrifices were no in vain, and he vowed to ensure that the UA students will get the best lessons and make them become great heroes in the future.

Midnight came and noticed the principal staring at the skies, and she approached him, asking if he is okay, stating that he seemed to be a bit depressed, but Nezu assured that he is okay and that he is looking forward to a great tomorrow, now that the threat to society as a whole has been eradicated and school life at UA High will be generally peaceful and upbeat.

"…and I am glad that the PLF has been disbanded…"

"I agree."

"Now the students will look forward to peaceful lessons at UA. You will be among the guides, Midnight-sensei."

"I sure will, Nezu."

"We will prepare the lessons that we've been planning. And make sure they are ready."

"Gotcha."

"Plus Ultra."

"You got that right."

At outer space, the scene shifts at a space station where several astronauts are working outside and are contacted by some other astronauts who are currently near the exit border of Earth's solar system, stating that they detected what appeared to be a moving object, which is the size of a planet and resembled a cross between an asteroid and a planet, whose size is roughly the same as Earth.

The scientists were baffled by what their colleagues just said and tells them to be careful, which the astronauts assured that they will be careful.

"Don't worry."

"We'll be careful."

"Just make sure you don't get carried away."

"We don't know what you would find there."

"Relax. This will be a breeze."

"And if we find something extraordinary, we can share it to the world."

"Fine, but practice caution."

"And contact us if you ran into trouble."

The astronauts then boarded a spaceship and went towards the unspecified planet-like object, which is slowly moving, and after some time, the ship landed, and the astronauts began using the ship's equipment to survey the planet, and after a while they are amazed that this planet is rich in oxygen and it appeared to be habitable, and brought out a camera to record the area so as to show to their colleagues what they discovered.

His fellow astronauts cautioned their colleagues to be careful as they do not know what awaits them and have no idea if there are any life forms in this planet, which they promised that they will be careful and will inform them if anything come up without notice.

"Don't worry. we'll be fine."

"We'll be careful. And we won't do something foolish."

"Just make sure you don't get into something dangerous.."

"We don't know what you would find there."

"Relax. This will be a breeze. We're sure that there are no hostile life here."

"And if we find something extraordinary, we can share it to the world."

"Fine, but practice caution. We don't know what we're about to find here."

"And contact us if you ran into trouble."

As the astronauts leave the ship to explore the landmass they are in, the ones who remained inside the ship began sending mechanical rovers and robots to survey the rest of the land, and after some time the astronauts inside the ship received data, which shows that this planet is habitable and can be a suitable place to live here, and intend to show this to their fellow scientists about this.

However, his colleague received the footage of the data sent to him, and he became horrified at what he just saw, and immediately tells his fellow astronaut about what he saw, and both are surprised to see what they saw in the footage, and now they are becoming wary of this planet.

"What the…?"

"No way…!"

"I can't believe this!"

"This is bad!"

"Damn…we never seen anything like this!"

"What now?"

"We got to recall our colleagues and…"

"Huh? The radio!"

Then they received a call from one of the astronauts who explored the planet, and informed them that his fellow astronaut was killed and ordered his remaining colleagues to escape the planet, stating that the life forms here are dangerous, hostile, and a threat to other life, and told them to flee this planet without him and warn Earth about this discovery.

"What?"

"We can't leave you!"

"Go without me! I'm done for! If you keep waiting, these THINGS will kill you!"

"But…"

"We couldn't…"

"Go! Now! Warn the Earth about this! Our survival depends on it!"

"…"

"…"

The astronauts inside the ship saw their fellow colleague in the live footage is being assaulted, and the surviving ones immediately began taking off, and as they are heading to the skies, the sensors picked up multiple readings, and through the monitor, the astronauts became horrified at what they are seeing, and one of them uses an escape pod to send the recorded footage towards the space station through the use of unspecified means.

As the escape pod is launched into space, the space ship is slowly being assaulted the soon the ship landed and exploded, with no survivors in sight, and after some unspecified moments the escape pod arrived at the space station and the scientists checked it, and saw the tape where they played the footage and they became horrified at what they saw, and they decided to inform Earth about this discovery, seeing that Earth is about to face a threat that is more graver than the Paranormal Liberation Front.

"What the world…?"

"No way…! No way…!"

"I can't believe this! This has to be a sick joke!"

"This is bad! And this is worse than seeing All For One or Tomura Shigaraki standing triumphant…!"

"Damn…we never seen anything like this! It's like…!"

"What now?"

"We send the footage and alert the United Nation! They must be informed of this…!"

"Understood…!"

To Be Continued...


Hope you liked this chapter, as it takes place after the manga, where it deviates a bit and shows that the Paranormal Liberation Front being defeated, and UA High enjoyed peace whilst the scientific world began making some breakthrough by making spaceships and sending scientists to explore other planets to do research.

And now a new threat is approaching after the scientists managed to send the footage of this discovery before being mysteriously slaughtered, and this may seem to bring the hero society to another war…something that makes them face a threat that is not…HUMAN…


Preview:

As the international delegates are shocked by the scientists' discovery…more problem arises as this threat makes itself apparent and LAUCHED an unexpected attack, which the world's armies are having difficulties and prompted pro heroes to go to the frontlines.

Worse, the Japanese national defense made a decree that makes hero students participate in this facing the threat mandatory, which the UA teachers are uncomfortable about, which would soon make Midoriya and his schoolmates realize the magnitude of this threat…

See you in six to eight weeks (around late July or early August)…

Reviews are welcomed, but needed…
