MHA/SVTFOE – Chapter 5: Vision of the Future

Carrie had gone up to her room. Sitting in complete darkness, one would think the bright lights of the multiple screens encompassing her computer network standing central on her wall would blind her but it helped her focus herself on her work. She was known for being a hustler, always being the person who you could come to with a problem and be offered the solution, no matter what it was. She had connections everywhere you could think of, from the States to Japan.

With one hand on her computer mouse and the other reaching in a bag of gummy bears, she monitored all the activity in the city. She oversaw all the chaos that sprung forth, collecting all data on everybody across Echo Creek and Musutafu. While the people of the Creek were seemingly a lot more peaceful, although crime was still present, Musutafu was pure chaos. Fights broke out frequently and the residents were no strangers to drugs and alcohol. It also quite a bit of villains, monsters and demons. It's like the South Park of Japan.

However, as she looked upon both cities, she noticed a particular scene. She had noticed All Might appearing in front of Izuku, Marco and Star.

Carrie: (In her mind) "All Might, Japan's number one hero. Age unknown, Quirk unidentified. Symbol of peace in status and reality. Based on how he is speaking, he must've encountered Izuku before the monster incident earlier."

For as serious as she was, she briefly squealed at the prospect of future meetings with the great All Might himself. She saw Izuku on his knees breaking down. How couldn't he? If it was her or any of her siblings, aside from Mile, they'd break out into tears too. She called her siblings to her room to share in her joy. That was when he said it.

All Might: "You are worthy to inherit my power."

As her siblings entered the room, that was the first thing they got to hear. Carrie herself merely made a blank face, muttering the word "interesting". But then, the hustler queen got a very sinister smile on her face.

Carrie: "Very interesting."

Izuku: "Inherit your power?"

Izuku had been shocked and confused by the statement, as were his companions, still listening from a distance. They decided to stay back as Izuku continued with his conversation with All Might. Unexpectedly, All Might began laughing, remarking the shocked expression on Izuku's face as unusual.

All Might: "It's just a suggestion. The real show starts after this. (Sticks his finger up in the air) Listen, young man. You need to decide… (Spews up blood) Whether or not you will accept my power!"

Izuku: (In his mind) "What is All Might saying?"

Marco: "The hell kinda crack this man been smoking?"

Star: "Why do you swear so much?"

Marco: "Home life, but enough about that, All Might's spewing pure nonsense. You can't pass on a Quirk, that's not a thing. Well, unless…"

Star: "Unless what?"

Marco: "Well, I heard from my… Let's call him Godfather, that Quirks who's only ability is to be passed on exist but nothing else. However, if All For One were to pass on another Quirk to such a person, they might combine into something like All Might has."

Star: "Who is this Godfather?"

Marco: "I'm not supposed to talk about it. Another time. Either way, if my theory is correct, than… Ooh boy."

All Might: "I'm talking about my power, young man. The tabloids called it "superhuman strength" and a "boost", and I constantly dodged the question during interviews with a funny joke. Because the Symbol of Peace, All Might, had to be a natural-born hero."

Meanwhile, back in Carrie's room, each of the siblings, having taken a seat, were watching with bulging eyes. All Might was not born with this Quirk? This reveal caused Carrie's anxiety to peek its ugly head, deciding to stop reaching for gummy bears and take out a cigarette instead, offering one to Maria as well.

Carrie: "Interesting, very interesting."

She said before taking out her lighter and smoking it. Back to the actual scene of the reveal, All Might continued his explanation.

All Might: "But young man, I will tell you the truth. (Throws his hands to the sides with his face up like he's praising the sun) My Quirk was passed onto me like a sacred torch."

Izuku: "It was passed onto you?"

All Might: "That's right. And next, it is your turn."

Izuku: "Wait! Wait a minute! It's true that your Quirk is something hotly debated, one of the world's greatest mysteries. So much so that not a day goes by when I don't see someone talking about it online. But well-"

Before he could finish that sentence, Marco gave him a good slap over the head, both him and Star stepping back on the scene.

Izuku: "Ow! What was that for?"

Marco: "Dude, you were about to embarrass yourself by going on a muttering spree in front of the number one fucking hero. I don't think so, we're going to UA soon, Izuku. We can't afford that kind of behavior anymore."

Izuku: "But did you have to hit me?"

Marco: "Alright, I'm sorry for hitting you. (Puts on a serious face, accusingly pointing at Izuku) But if I ever catch you doing some bitch shit like that again, you're getting hit."

Izuku: "I'm fine with that."

While this conversation was going, to the great amusement of Star and Marco's still peeping siblings, All Might realized Marco and Star had been listening in the whole time, causing him a great amount of stress. Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure.

All Might: "Seems your friends we're listening in. And what's this about wanting to go to UA?"

Izuku: "Oh yeah, what did you mean-"

Marco: "Let's be real for a minute, I'm the Avatar, you're about to be the next All Might when he gives you his Quirk, we're gonna dominate! And if Star comes with us, I don't even wanna know how strong we're gonna be! Just imagine it!"

Izuku: "That does sound pretty awesome… And All Might sir, everything you said, it's true?"

All Might: "Yes, everything I've told you, it's the truth. The power to transfer power… That is the Quirk I inherited! I was crowned with One For All!"

Izuku and Marco: "One For All…"

All Might: "That's right. One person cultivates the power and passes it on to another person, who also cultivates it and passes it on. It is the crystallization of power that spins together the voices of those who need help with a courageous heart."

Izuku: "Why are you giving me something so great?"

Star: "Isn't it obvious?"

Izuku: "What do you mean?"

Marco: "In the short time All Might has seen you, you've proven that despite the fact that you're Quirkless, you've got the will, courage and straight up balls to be a hero. You rushed alongside powered individuals when the heroes were being pussies. I'm just saying, if I was you, I would not have the cojones to do that shit. That should mean something."

Those words brought tears to Izuku's eyes, once again.

Izuku: "Th-Thank you guys."

Marco: "Come on man, you need to accept. By my guess, All Might must be in his 40's at least, he's probably looking for a successor. Which is too bad for Mumen Rider but-"

All Might: "The hoodie boy is right. I have been looking for a successor. And then, I thought it would be all right for you to inherit it. I would tell you why but the hoodie boy summed it up perfectly… If a bit crudely."

Marco: "Yeah, get used to that. I'm Marco by the way. Marco Diaz. Nice to meet you, big fan."

Star: "Star Butterfly."

All Might: (Extending a hand to both of them) "Nice to meet you both. Anyway, will you except, young man?"

Izuku: (In his mind) "He said so much to encourage me, and even told me his secret… Is there… Of course there isn't… There's no reason for me to turn him down! (Speaking aloud) I'll do it!"

Marco: "Alright, let's go!"

Star: "Go Izuku!"

All Might: "An immediate reply. That's what I thought you'd say!"

But this would be no easy task to accomplish, to gain this power. It would take a fair amount of effort actually. But Izuku would bare every second of it to achieve his goal. No matter what.

Back in Carrie's room, the siblings continued being surprised at everything they had heard. Maria and Carrie had smoked up their cigarettes, the nicotine putting their mind at ease temporarily. However, before any of the siblings could comment on what they saw, they heard keys jingling downstairs.

Carrie: "Get out."

Maria: "What?"

Carrie: "Marco's not stupid, he knows I've been watching, get out of here."

Maria: "Alright, alright, fine."

Maria and the other siblings cleared the room and each went to their own. Meanwhile, Star went to sit on the couch downstairs while Marco went up to "handle some business" as he put it. That statement left Star wondering whether or not his siblings were going to be good but decided to stay out of their weird siblings dynamics for now.

Marco went up to Carrie's room, not even knocking but just bursting in. Carrie was initially shocked by his sudden entrance but quickly regained her cool, grabbing her bag of gummy bears. She reached out with the bag in hand, offering Marco some, who simply nodded no. He then got his right thumb and index finger to his mouth and whistled loudly, seemingly getting the attention of a large creature. In seconds, a large lizard-like creature came in the room, walking on all fours. At 4 feet 5 on all fours and nearly 8 feet on her hind legs, it absolutely towered over both Marco and Carrie, immediately jumping on top of Marco. Her body was a translucent red and had paws ending in three clawed finger with a fourth exposable digit on each paw. She had red, luminescent fang-like teeth and had no eyes or even eye sockets. She had spines all over her back.

Marco: "Good girl, Boba Tea."

Boba Tea: (Imitating Carrie's voice) "Boba Tea loves you." (Licks his face.)

Carrie: "I thought I told your mutt to stop using my voice."

Marco: "Shut up, Carrie."

Marco proceeded to walk up to Carrie, violently shoving her against the wall with his hands around her throat. Caught off guard, Carrie had no time to defend herself, immediately gasping for air. Marco then grabbed Carrie by the collar and put her head in between Boba's open jaws which were watering, the spit dripping down on Carrie's bedroom floor.

Marco: "Listen, you are not gonna tell anybody about what you heard earlier. Don't try to deny you heard it, I wasn't born yesterday and I know you better than you know yourself. If you even so much as allude to anything about All Might's Quirk or that Izuku inherited it, I will feed you to Boba Tea. Trust me, she doesn't like you."

Boba Tea: (Growls)

Marco: (Lets her go) "Are we clear, Carrietta?"

Carrie: (Coughs) "Yes."

Marco: "Good. And while you're at it, go to therapy, will you? If you wanted to, you could crush me like an empty coke can but as soon as somebody gets within swinging distance of you, you freeze up like a deer in headlights. How well did your mother train you to take abuse?"

Carrie: (Pissed) "Shut up asshole."

Marco: "Maybe when you learn to appreciate what I gave you by dragging your ungrateful ass into this home. I'm tired of being treated like second class. No more."

Carrie: "Fine. Earn that respect if that's what you want. Now, get the hell out."

Marco stepped out of the room after that, Boba following suite.

Marco: "You lot don't need to pretend like you weren't listening to all of that. Just so you know, everything I said applies to the rest of you."

While that sentence incited fear in the sisters who all thought clearly (well, for the most part), Nugget hadn't been paying attention and Mile gave no shits as usual, both brothers merely going on with their strange hobbies.

Nugget: "Hey, you gave us these hobbies, Mile was barely a character before you decided that you could do something with a game called "Whack the Thief." Says a lot about how little time you spend on school too if you got time to think about this shit. Nugget has better grades than you and Nugget has 11 different mental disorders. If Nugget took medicine, Nugget would faint, that's how dumb you are."

Fuck off, you retarded chicken nugget gremlin with your busted ass deck of Yu-Gi-Oh rip-off cards. Next part.

Izuku was walking back home himself after their encounter with All Might. It had started off as one of the worst days of his life but ended as one of the best. It seemed he and Marco would both be able to train and apply to UA despite all odds. On top of that, they had made enemies out of a group of monsters from another dimension and an ally out of a magical princess from the same dimension. It had been a crazy day but it had been enjoyable.

He had been so distracted by everything going on in his mind, he barely noticed the little girl running into him, making her fall down. Regaining his spatial awareness in a split second, he caught the little girl, preventing her from getting a scrape. The girl was small and had bluish, off-white hair, messy and unkempt, running down to her waist. She had big, bright-red eyes and a small, brown horn poking out of the right side of her forehead. She was wearing a plain, short-sleeved dress, which was a dirty, pale tan color. Bandages were wrapped around both her arms and legs, stopping at her wrists and ankles.

Izuku: "Hey little girl, what's your name?"

?: "E-Eri."

Izuku: "Hey Eri, I'm Izuku. Are you okay? Can you stand?"

?: "Eri, you can't go around causing trouble for the heroes. Young man, I'm really sorry, I saw you on the television earlier taking on those disgusting monsters. I'm with you on monsters being hell sent."

The man that walked out looked like a sort of eccentric gangster, walking up in an attire consisting of a giant plague doctor mask, white surgical gloves, three piercings in his left ear, a black dress shirt with matching dress pants, a pale gray tie around his neck and a belt with a long, thin buckle around his waist with over this a dark olive-green bomber jacket with a thick purple fur collar and white lace-up sneakers with tan soles and no socks. It was… Weird to say the least.

Izuku: "Is this your daughter?"

?: "Yes. Come now, Eri."

For some reason, at the thought of returning with her supposed father, Eri began trembling. She held tightly onto Izuku, needing to keep herself from breaking out in tears. Eri whispered to the green-haired teen to "not go" which was enough for Izuku to take into question whether or not it would be the smartest move to let her go back with this germophobic pimp-looking prick.

Deciding to take a massive risk, Izuku grabbed a handful of nearby leaves, channeling Hamon through them to make them take on a circular shape. He then throws it with the flat side against the man, breaking his mask. The man was not only distressed but also broke out in hives. This pissed him off, making him want to kill the boy on the spot, however, once he had opened his eyes, Izuku had already disappeared running off so quick the man hadn't even seen him leave.

The next time Overhaul catches him, it is hands.

Once he had arrived home, Izuku was immediately confronted by his mother.

Izuku: "Hey mom."

Inko: "Izuku! I'm happy you're back, you were out later than usual."

Izuku: "I had to deal with some… Stuff. Anyway, this is Eri."

Eri: "H-hi…"

Inko: "Aww, she's so cute! Are you babysitting her or-"

Izuku: "Yeah, that's the thing, she ran into me while running away from her supposed father and I made a run for it when she asked me to not go so…"

?: "That's my son."

In the background, a man in a dark suit over a white shirt with strong, imposing features, short, white hair and luminous, red eyes, sat with a wine glass in hand, smiling from ear to ear. Izuku pulled the most butthurt face, clearly not happy to see his dad. The old man looked back hopeful, probably because he was intoxicated, because Izuku was about ten seconds away from taking off his shirt and punching out all of his teeth.

Izuku: (Nodding vigorously) "Wow. You got quite the balls to show up again dad."

Hisashi: (Straining his smile) "Well, yeah, had some work to do in town so-"

Izuku: "You won't randomly go on a business trip again? Ugh. Anyway, Eri is gonna need a place to stay so can she stay?"

Inko: "Oh of course she can stay!"

Hisashi: "Fuck, if I care. As long as she keeps her hands of my weed."

Izuku: "You are the worst. Anyway, Eri, is that okay with you?"

Eri: (Nods) "Mhm."

Izuku: "Great, now let me show you to your room."

Eri nods quietly, shyly taking his hand as Izuku took her to the spare room.

Star was still filled with questions about earth so she decided to take Maria's advice and go to Carrie. She got very… Controlling vibes from her but decided to disregard those as merely a bad first impression and marched on. When she was at the top of the stairs, she noticed Marco had just retired to his own room and Carrie's door was cracked open. Star walked in, noticing Carrie on the ground, breathing heavily and clamping onto a bottle of honey.

It was a weird, yet very concerning sight to see. Star rushed over to her, closing the door behind herself. She picked Carrie off the ground and set her down on the bed, taking the bottle of honey out of her mouth.

Star: "Are you okay?"

Carrie: (Irritable) "Yeah, I'm fine, get out."

Star: "I don't think you are."

Carrie looked annoyed, reaching for the bottle in Star's hand. When it was clear, she wasn't gonna give it back, she instead grabbed her pillow, emptying the pillow case to reveal a dozen chocolate bars. She grabbed one, ripped it open in a split second, and bit off a third of the bar easily. Star simply stared her down, making Carrie eat the bar quicker. Eventually, when all the chocolate had been eaten and Carrie's mouth was covered in it, she gave in.

Carrie: "Fine, I'll tell you, that stare's making me uncomfortable."

Star: "So what's going on?"

Carrie: (Deep sigh) "I… Saw you, Marco, and Izuku with All Might earlier and Marco's pissed about it so he put my head in between the jaws of his giant lizard pet. It's no big deal, I'm used to his anger."

Star: "But that's horrible! You're his sister."

Carrie: (Downtrodden) "No I'm not, I'm just some brat he picked up on vacation and has been gnawing at his peace of mind ever since. Just because he's harsh doesn't mean I don't deserve it, I should've minded my own business."

Star: "Listen, I don't have siblings so I don't know what siblings act like but I know they don't resent and threaten each other, then feel bad about it privately instead of apologizing, would it help if I talked to him about it?"

Carrie: "What does it matter? He's gonna drop dead at 20 from a stress-induced heart attack anyway."

Star: "Is your whole family like this?"

Carrie: "Dismissive of everything Marco does, whether positive or negative? Yeah, pretty much."

Star was getting concerned about the strange family dynamics of this household. Every sibling seemed to have something wrong with them, Marco was consistently resentful of the rest of them while they continuously dismissed him regardless of circumstance, and it didn't seem that their parents we're even around.

That's when an idea jumped in her head. If she was gonna be here, maybe she could secretly try to make the siblings more normal or at least get them to get along. Starting with sweet Carrietta right here.

Star: (Big smile) "Well, if you need anything, you can always come to me. You don't have to pretend to not feel bad as long as I'm here."

Carrie: (Smiles) "Thank you. You better not tell anybody though, I got a reputation to uphold. I better not catch anybody selling their shit on my block, you get me?"

Star: (Rolls eyes) "Yeah sure. Alright, byeeee!"

Carrie: "See you later."

Star then walked out of the room, leaving Carrie to her sugar binge as she began thinking of ways to lead the other siblings in the right direction.

On a couch in an unknown location sat two individuals. One a young man in his 20's with pale skin and chapped lips and the other a teenage boy shrouded in the shadows of the room. The two were playing video games in complete darkness, neglecting to turn on the lights so they could see the screen better. It seemed like the teen was about to win. He smiled from ear to ear while the man scratched his neck profusely. Right before the man's avatar was about to be knocked out, he paused the game, upsetting the teen boy.

Teen: "Hey, I was about to win!"

Man: (Raspy) "Hey bud."

Teen: "Huh?"

Man: "Remind me again… What is this plan of yours?"

Teen: "Oh, right. Here's the idea. I apply to UA, get in, I spy so you can easily attack the school at your convenience. I cause some chaos to disorient them, then when we take Japan, I'll reveal myself to destroy their hope."

Man: "Hmm. Good plan."

Teen: "Hey mister?"

Man: "Yes?"

Teen: "Why do you want to antagonize UA?"

Man: (Smiles) "Hmm, well, they're the next generation of heroes. We destroy UA and its students and teachers…"

The man stood up and smiled even wider, inducing the same sinister smile from the two in shadow shrouded men.

Man: "We'll kill the rest of them and this society will decay and crumble to DUST!"

Teen: "And then, they'll see what they did to us."

Both villains, Tomura Shigaraki and his spy, laughed loudly at their plans for the future. This society will crumble and they'll kill all the heroes. Beginning with All Might.

Notes:

My God, it was such a bitch to finish this chapter. All I wanted to say is that the spy is not Toru or Aoyama. Don't start guessing just yet. I can promise it isn't anybody you would be able to guess, at least not yet. It'll probably become pretty obvious though. XD Or just go on my DeviantArt page and get all the spoilers. XDD
