Act 1: Samurai Origins

Izuku's head went blank for a moment, one moment he was being suffocated by that villain, the next he was saved by a blur. When he finally regained consciousness, he sat in stunned silence: All Might, the legend himself, was standing right in front of him. "Wow he's actually here… Ah! I need an autograph!" Izuku then went to grab his notebook only to find- "Ah! He already did it!"

As Izuku began furiously thanking All Might for the autograph, All Might was preparing to make his leave. "All in a day's work young man! Now I must bring our friend here to the authorities!" he said, patting a pair of soda bottles that contained the sludge villain that was about to kill the greenete.

"Huh, is that it? Wait! I need to ask you a question!" Izuku ran towards All Might, he almost grabbed his leg but he was milliseconds too late.

"Thanks for all the support!" With that, All Might jumped off, leaving Izuku behind.

Izuku sat on the ground for a few seconds, still in shock that he actually met All Might in person, he was a bit deterred that he wasn't able to ask him if he could be a hero, but he was happy to be able to meet him in person. After a minute of sitting there, Izuku got back up and continued his walk home.

As he walked, Izuku thought back on what everyone in his life had said to him about being a hero.

'Sorry kid, it ain't happening.'

'I'm sorry Izuku, I'm sorry!'

'He still can't face reality.'

'Don't you dare you get into UA, nerd!'

Izuku was tired of the world constantly pushing him back. If he couldn't be a hero, he'd still do good with a smile on his face.

...

FIVE MONTHS LATER

Izuku sat in his room studying for exams, even if he wasn't aiming for a hero course anymore he still wanted to get into UAs general studies course, as he was studying, his mother walked in. "Sorry to bother you Izuku, but can you help me tidy up the closet?"

"No problem mom." Izuku said, wanting to be helpful. The closet was filled with clothes and heavy boxes but it was relatively easy to clean out. As they were moving everything, Izuku noticed something in the corner: A small black chest with a gold symbol on top. "Hey mom, what's that?"

"Huh? I don't know." She didn't know what the box was, for all she knew it was one of Hisashi's possessions.

Izuku decided to take the chest to his room to look at it further, upon opening it he found several small items: A small pentagonal box, a red disc, a small flip phone and a scroll. Izuku first looked at the box, it had a mechanical look to it and had the kanji for fire (火) on it. He then looked at the disc, it had a repeating pattern on it but he couldn't exactly make it out.

He then looked at the flip phone, it was a bit bulky but nothing out of the ordinary, so he flipped it open. nothing weird at first glance but after applying slight pressure at the sides, the phone unfolded and what appeared to be the end of a paint brush popped out at the top. "Oh jeez what did i do!?" Izuku jumped back from the sudden transformation, after a second Izuku noticed a glow coming from the brush. He made a brushing motion with the phone and a holographic streak of red came from it, Izuku then looked at the pentagonal box and decided to paint the kanji on it. Upon completing the symbol, it solidified with a white outline. Izuku then went for another stroke, but instead, he was engulfed in a bright red light.

When his eyes adjusted, Izuku looked down to see he was now wearing a strange outfit: red boots with a black stripe at the top, black lower body, golden belt with a circular buckle, a sword in a sheath on his left, white gloves with a black stripe at the top, a black stripe going down the red torso that resembled a gi and the same symbol now in gold on the left of his chest. Izuku looked at a mirror on his nightstand to see he was now wearing a helmet with the kanji now becoming a visor.

Then Izuku began panicking. "Ahhhhh! What the!?" He then began trying to get the suit off of him, grabbing at the fabric and trying to find a way to remove the helmet.

"Izuku!? Is everything alright?" In his panic, the noise alerted his mother that something was wrong.

"Oh! Uh everythings fine!" Everything was not fine but Izuku knew that if she walked in and saw him like this, she'd probably pass out. As her footsteps approached the door, Izuku got desperate. "Ga! How do I get this thing off me!? Go away! vanish! Power down!" in a red flash the suit disappeared.

"Izuku!?" Inko opened the door to see her son flustered. "Izuku!? What happened!?"

"I- uh- saw a spider…" Izuku wasn't gonna tell her what happened, especially if he didnt know what happened himself. After she left, Izuku looked at the final item in the chest, the scroll: He unrolled it to reveal the same symbol on the chest and outfit, below it was a set of coordinates. After a quick internet search he found that they led to the forest surrounding Musutafu, Izuku decided that the next morning he'd get some answers.

THE NEXT MORNING

After a half an hour-long train ride, Izuku finally got to the surrounding forest. He began his hike through the rocky terrain, he didn't know what he would find but he was sure he'd get answers. As he got closer to the destination, he could see something through the treeline. When he got near the end of the path, he was able to see it in full: the main building was made mostly of wood with some areas made of concrete, the perimeter was surrounded by a large wood fence with a giant gate. What caught Izuku's attention was the gate, at the top was the same symbol on the chest.

He walked up and pushed the gate open, stepping into the large courtyard, there wasn't much there that couldn't be seen outside the gate, the only thing notable was a training ground with a few practice dummies strewn around. As Izuku walked in further, the gate suddenly slammed behind him. "What the!?" As Izuku turned to see the gate shut, he began to hear the sound of drums. Izuku was then surrounded by figures dressed entirely in black, brandishing white banners with the same symbol on them.

"Who are you!?" Izuku spun around to see a man walking out of the main building, he was old and sporting gold and brown robes. "Speak!"

"A-ah I'm I-izuku Midoriya" Izuku sheepishly responded.

"Izuku Midoriya, State your business!"

Izuku reached into his backpack and pulled out the chest. "I-i found this in my home, I t-think it's a family heirloom."

The man stared at the chest for a moment. 'The Shiba family crest! Could he be…', he then turned his attention to one of the black clad figures. "You there! Check the records!", he then returned his gaze to the teen. "And you… come with me."

The two walked inside, followed by the figures. "W- who are you a-and what is this place?" Izuku asked.

"I am Ji Kusakabe but you will call me Mentor and this is the shiba house, this is the world's first line of defence against the Nighlok."

"N-nighlok?"

"Corrupt ones from another world, hell bent on the destruction of this one." Ji continued. "Centuries ago, the seventeenth head of the Shiba clan and his team battled the Nighlok leader to a standstill and was able to seal them back to the netherworld."

"What happened after they were sealed away?" Izuku asked.

"After he sealed them away, he and his team parted ways to live normal lives in peace. But over the last few decades, cracks have been appearing in our world more and more. It's only a matter of time until the nighlok make their return."

The two entered the main room, it was rather large with red walls and the same symbol on the wall opposite the entrance. In the centre was a table with 3 chairs on either side, at the head of the table was a seat of honour with the symbol hanging over it.

"What's that symbol?" Izuku asked.

"It is the Shiba family crest." Ji explained, One of the figures then stumbled into the room with a scroll clutched in his hand, he ran over to Ji and handed it to him. "Thank you." Ji took the scroll and looked through it, his eyes began to widen at the information on it. "I can't believe it."

"W- what? What is it?" Izuku asked.

"Since the departure of the team, we've been keeping track of their families. I sent him to see if you were a descendant of him and you are, You are a descendant of the Shiba family." Ji said in astonishment, he then bowed to Izuku and the figures did the same.

"W- what?" Izuku said in surprise. "y- you must be mistaken, i- i can't be his descendant."

Ji turned the scroll and showed it to Izuku, it showed a family tree that began with the first shiba head and at the eighteenth began branching out, at one of the ends Izuku saw his name. "No way."

Ji then reached down to the box and pulled out the flip phone. "Midoriya ,you used this yesterday, right?"

"U- uh yeah i accidentally used it and ended up in a weird costume, wait how did you know?"

"We have symbols hidden throughout Musutafu that alert us if a Nighlok appears, but they also detect symbol power." Ji explained. "That 'costume' you dawned was the uniform of the samurai rangers." Ji paused for a moment before asking the teen a question. "Izuku Midoriya, we ask of you to train in the ways of the samurai rangers and defend the world."

"... huh?" Izuku paused at the question, "wait, wait, wait, you've gotta be wrong, shouldn't the heroes be dealing with this? besides, I'm quirkless so I couldn't even stand up to them."

"The Nighlok threat is stronger than any hero, only the power of the samurai rangers is enough to defeat them.'' Ji stated. "And Quirks mean nothing, it doesn't matter if you're weak, the power will not only protect you, but allow you save those who cant protect themselves, it will allow you to become a true hero."

Izuku began to tear up at that statement. 'Someone is finally saying that I could be a hero, it's all I ever wanted!' but then fear began creeping in. 'Although this whole fighting demons thing sounded terrifying, should I just walk away? No, he's told me so much and asked me to do this. At this point, I have no reason to refuse.'

"I accept!"
