Author's Notes: Read and Review! I'm glad people are enjoying this!
I've been thinking. This chapter was hard to write. This...is Izuku's Debut.
So many things will happen in this chapter alone that will help the story unfold.
A lot of you readers wanted answers about Shigaraki. These Flashbacks are for you. There's even a little scene to explain the lead up to the...I guess you can just say...massacre. I'm thinking that Shigaraki will have a bigger role in this story than I thought. So I'm going to explore that a little more in the next chapter.
Izuku... Gets called out. By the Villains. As a Hero. Live.
I wonder how everyone will handle this? Maybe I should upgrade a few other Villains earlier than I would have... Oh...maybe I should rewrite my ideas to make Alfheim work...That would be interesting...Hmm...
I wish people would question my foreshadowing a little bit. Oh well.
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Katsuki Bakugou. Or who could have been Minoru Mineta.
I've built up the story, but I haven't truly made any conflict. So here it is...
The Debut of ((The Green Dragon Hero)): (Drakon).
Summary: They said he couldn't be a Hero. That there was no way for him to gain a Quirk. Just like how they never thought that a madman would create a Death Game using a virtual reality machine?
The Moonlit Black Cat Guild. It was a small Guild made up of friends that came together from the real world. That was the Guild that Drakon was invited to join.
In one world, Kirito would join alone, he would conceal his level, end up in a trap with his Guild, watched them all die from the trap, and then see his Guild Leader die from jumping off of Aincrad.
That would have been simple enough to follow for anyone. This wasn't that world. This was in a world of Quirks. Of Heroes and Villains.
Even in games Quirks were discussed. Guilds were formed and the Quirk you said you had could have an impact for the leadership of the Guild. The worse was how discrimination worked within the game.
Maybe things would have went different if Kirito had asked about their Quirks. Maybe if he knew more about their situations and he helped more. Maybe...if Kirito hadn't asked him to come join him and he accepted it then things could have gone better.
The Moonlit Black Cat Guild was the first and only Quirkless formed Guild made of real life friends who were gamers and created their own computer/gamer club that now lived in the Death Game.
They did not get slaughtered by a trap in a dungeon.
They did not jump.
They were killed.
Assassinated.
Drakon had walked into their Guild House to ask if they wanted to go do a quest when he saw the objects that were tipped over.
Maddened laughter echoed in the building further down into the rooms of the Guild. Loud sobbing reached his ears. Angry and incomprehensible roars of his Guildmates could be heard.
He raced to the rooms. A single door was open. Emerald bounded behind him with a deep growl. The light of the candle was barely able to be seen.
Drakon's eyes were filled with horror as he saw a humanoid shape turning into pixels and Ducker turned to him with a smile. A whisper of "Protect-". His sentence cut off as he turned to red pixels.
Sachi moved in front of him. A blade tip exited her back. A purple substance was lathered on the silver weapon. She fell as the blade came out. A cry of fear escaped her.
Drakon hollered at the cloaked individual that he could now see. Arm pulled to his side. A Laughing Coffin tattoo was displayed for him to see.
"Quirkless Fucks. Prince of Villains should reward me with this." A feminine voice pierced the air. He could see blond locks of curled hair fall from the woman's face. A black bandana was across her mouth and held on her nose.
Drakon rushed the woman who just jumped back away from the greenette's punch. Her purple eyes seemed to mock him at his failure to protect his team. She laughed before jumping out of the building's window.
Drakon turned to Sachi and Kirito barely ran in before seeing her health bar steadily drop. Drakon held her head. She looked him in the eyes before looking at Kirito in the doorway.
Her last words rang in both of their ears.
"Live."
She shattered. Red pixels fluttered in the air before vanishing.
Kirito stood numb. He barely had enough willpower to hug the smaller boy. To whisper that he wasn't alone.
Kirito struggled to hold him as the boy went through emotions. He cried at his failure. He howled out his sadness. He cursed in bitterness at those that would take his friends.
Then he raged.
It was all Kirito could do to make sure Drakon didn't go after them with his Familiars.
To hunt those responsible.
They should not have let Drakon into this Guild meeting. That was the thought that was given by Klein, Kirito, Argo, and others. They knew this topic would affect him.
His very presence seemed to darken the room as they discussed the symbol of the Laughing Coffin Unofficial Player Killer Guild.
Argo had learned about the Guild through Drakon and had been on the lookout for th. She remembered him paying everything he had for her to look into them and to go out of her way to inform him about anything on the Guild. She was the first to notice his face grow hard and his eyes seemed to dim.
He learned that Kirito was almost killed by a member within one of the Guilds. That Asuna had fought him.That they had used poison to stop Kirito.
Kirito watched as Drakon frowned at the information. Asuna watched as his shoulders tensed. Klein and Agil shifted in their seats as they noticed Drakon's expression.
The Frontline Guilds had wanted to bring the Guild down as more killings were being made daily. So they made a plan for sending them to a game prison on the lower floors. It was only after the name of the hideout was said that everyone knew something was wrong.
He rose abruptly. A snarl upon his lips and a blazing glint of fire in his eyes. His cloak dragged on the floor and Emerald who had laid curled at his feet had moved to his side. Fangs gleamed in the light from the window.
Heathcliff's eyes narrowed. "What are you doing Drakon?"
"Personal business. I have a limited time Quest to do. No need to wait for me.'" He turned his back to the rest of the players around the table and walked stiffly to the door.
"By the way Heathcliff..." His voice went lower. Everyone focused on the boy.
"...I think I know who you are. Thanks."
Everyone watched as the frowned. "What for?"
A half hearted chuckle escaped the lips of the boy. "Do you know that Heroes once fought slayed Monsters? Not criminals. Not Villains. Monsters."
He turned around to face him. "I won't answer why I give you my thanks. I will however give you a small history lesson."
The boys face grew into a grim smile. He looked directly at Heathcliff. "Did you know that the best knights do not have shiny armor? That the best knights had scratches, dents, and that they were always dirty? That it was a symbol to say that you survived and came back home after doing your duty?"
He paused before he nodded to himself. "Did you know that to be called a Hero is to write a story of tragedy?"
A shiver went down their spines.
Heathcliff coughed. "Of course everyone needs a Hero. Myself and the rest here...I don't think we understand what you're trying to say."
Amusement adorned Drakons eyes. "Then I'll be simple. You can play the modern day Heroes who wait around planning. Where you seem to have spies within your ranks."
Drakon waved his arms to show that he meant everyone and continued. "I am going to take my Familiars for a walk. I will be out hunting for Monsters. Please be the Heroes for them will you?"
Everyone paled. Someone shouted "You can't do that!"
Drakon turned to the person. He tilted his head with a smirk. "Do what? Walking? Hunting? Slaying Monsters?
Things that you do within the game?"
Silence was his answer.
Drakon turned to Emerald. "Come on boy. We need to get the rest of our group. I think some of them need to go stretch out their wings."
Minoru Mineta was a coward. He knew that he was unlikely to get into the Hero Course of U.A. or become a Hero. He knew he had an addiction to porn.
Everyone he knew called him out on his flaws. He was small and weak. His Quirk could barely fit in a support role.
When a cloaked man entered the gas station he worked in to help his parents and feed his...addiction...He prayed. Their was something wrong. He could feel that it would take a miracle to survive.
He hated the fear that settled in his heart. He hated his mind going blank. He hated that the mans face had one eye looking straight at him with a malicious grin. The other eye glazed over as he stalked forward like a predator.
"Hey kid? Give me your phone before I kill you." A smirk drifted onto the Villains face.
Minoru's eyes widened in horror as the man lifted him by his hair.
His smirk turned into a frown. "Why am I not dropping you?"
The Villain waved his hand and the boy went with him. A grin on his lips. "Nice. A perfect hostage. Easy access to information too. Let's go find me a Hero to kill."
Muscular just laughed as he saw tears come to Minoru's eyes. "I can't wait to find (Drakon). Hey kid...If you don't wanna die then find out where Izuku Midoriya lives."
The man grinned wide and hummed. "Maybe I can get that sludge dude and a few other guys to distract the Heroes."
The teen whimpered. A choked sob came from his lips. Tears came forth.
The Villain known as Muscular let out a deep laugh into the night air.
Izuku woke up feeling refreshed the next day before hatching another dragon. He had thought things would go better that day after he had forced more energy into his three newest dragons to build them up. Of course, he smiled as he learned about a [Summon Familiar] Skill before walking out of his room.
Then he arrived in the living room where the news was playing. There, he was unpleasantly introduced to the new day.
Inko Midoriya rarely swore. The Hero known as Ryuko also tried to stay away from swearing. Mirko, for all the tough things she did and said, only swore when things were FUBAR.
Of course they couldn't beat Izuku Midoriya swearing a stream of curses from his mouth accompanied by the hissing, growling, wing flapping, slithering, and stomping clawed paws of drakonic creatures.
Keiko Ayano paled as the headline ran on the T.V. screen. A news crew was in a helicopter overlooking a scene.. She almost fainted when she heard a masculine voice howl out for the ((Green Dragon Hero)). She could hear Inko say that the Villain was at their house.
Then Izuku went silent. His eyes narrowed and his jaw tightened. She watched as he trembled. A growl escaped him.
Inko let out a scream that turned into a sob. Tears fled her and she moaned before collapsing even when she was on a couch. Mirko and Ryuko both had to help the woman keep upright.
The mother turned to face Izuku. Their eyes met. A strangled whisper escaped her lips. "Don't."
Familiar voices screamed from the T.V. One specifically yelled "Die!" before an explosion hit something off screen. Inko whimpered.
Keiko watched the news reporter scream about a flood of calls for a person named (Drakon). That the Villainous man was challenging a Hero of SAO. A figure with moving teeth screamed that he was from Laughing Coffin.
That caught Izuku's ears. The women and the girl focused on Izuku. They could hear him grit his teeth.
Keiko took a step back. Mirko tensed as three bigger inhuman roars shook the house. Ryuko stood when she saws his eyes start to glow.
The phone rang and disrupted the focus everyone had on him.
Keiko put the phone that rang on speaker.
Hawks frantic voice came through. "Izuku! The Commission wants you to stay put. Don't leave the house! All Might and other Heroes are heading the call!"
The mans voice hitched. "Oh. This is bad. Ryuko? Mirko? The HPSC knows that you are together for vacation or whatever. They need you both to come. Seven S Class Super Villains are there along with dozens of small fry!"
A pause let everything sink in. Everyone could hear him gasp. "I'll never make it in time! Forget about getting him to-"
Static screeched on the phone before the lost signal dial tone went on.
On the screen the news reporter zoomed in to show Hawks parrying the teeth of a Villain. In another zoom in they saw a blonde boy trying to explode a Sludge Villain. Zooming out showed a large muscular Villain swinging a purple haired kid around.
A Hero Couple just showed up to the scene. The Power Hose Couple. A blast of water hit the main Villain.
Izuku raced to his room as the scene went on.
Lives were on the line.
He had no choice.
They had called him out.
Izuku entered the room. Three sets of eyes stared at him. The strongest of the dragons he had.
"Khione. Vulcan. Raijin. I need you to help me. I'm going to do something reckless. There are people I need to save." Izuku paused. "Please. Help me save them."
Khione stared at him in the eyes. A soft feminine voice let loose from former Boss Monster. "Use your energy Little One. Force it into me. Then do it to Vulcan and Raijin. The creator of Aincrad gave me instructions before the end of our world. Advice to bring the others to battle. You will ride me into the battle Little One."
"Alright. How much should I put in? How do I do it?"
If a snake could grin he knew Vulcan was. A rough voice answered him."Yes. Youngster. Let us help you forge your path. Learn. Expel energy into body.. Rest. You will begin your fight again."
The black dragon nudged him forward to the white and green dragon. "We shall have them learn to mess with your Hoard. Pitiful creatures should know their place amongst us. Go."
Kazuto stared at the television screen with his cousin Suguha. The small family were eating breakfast when the news came on. The meal was going well.
His uncle was reading the newspaper. His aunt was placing the meal down. His cousin was talking about a Kendo Tournament that was coming up.
Of course all goods things come to an end when his Quirk/A.I. daughter points to the screen as a blonde boy was being zoomed in on that was fighting a Sludge Villain. A man and woman were within the sludge body. In a small voice she said "Kacchan."
Kazuto sprayed his water out of his mouth onto his uncle and gagged. Suguha patted him on the back even as his eyes went wide. His eyes went wide.
The teen turned to Yui. He pleaded with the girl. "You've got to be kidding me."
The little girl frowned. "No. Kayaba Akihiko's research was very clear to me and the Cardinal System about everything related to Player (Drakon). His research also had mentions of a former childhood friend turned bully called Katsuki Bakugou who was an influencer of the Player known as (Drakon) as a reason as to why they started to play the Beta."
Kazuto's eyes went wide. "Anything else?"
The girl nodded. "Yes. The Bakugou family is considered the next of kin in the case of his mothers death. The mother and father of the Bakugou household are the Godparents of Player (Drakon). A survey posted at the end of the Beta has the son listed as a brother even if he is not a real brother."
The boy could feel himself paling. "Anything-"
"-Else? Of course! It was located in (Drakon)'s file that he considered the Bakugou's family. It was also noted in the Player (Drakon)s journal entries that the Players known as (Kirito), (Asuna), (Agil), (Klein), (Argo), (Lizbeth), and all of the Moonlit Black Cat Guild are considered family only after their death. His psychological profile states he is willing to use lethal force to save others."
It was then that Kazuto slammed his head on the table and groaned from the pain. Fear and guilt hit him. "So..."
"According to the creator of Aincrad, if (Drakon) has hatched any of the Field Bosses or Hidden Quest Bosses that he would learn how to change their size after learning the [Familiar Shift] Skill along with the [Summon Familiar] Skill." The chipper voice of Yui spoke directly into his ear.
He could hear a loud roar of a familiar dragon boss fill the room. Kazuto looked at the screen in horror as they zoomed in on a green cloaked figure.
Tenko Shimura. Tomura Shigaraki. The Prince of the Underworld. ((Prince of Villains)) or (PoV) in Aincrad.
He stared at the screen in front of him as the news cast caught the live action. To his left sat his Teacher and to the left was the Doctor. He could hear them off in the distance as he focused on the screen.
"Amusing." He could hear his Teacher say. "I wish you had that power. It was unfortunate for that project to fail. I wish I had known about his betrayal earlier. If it still has the same perimeters as what my good Doctor placed then it is likely I cannot take the Quirk. Such a pity. I always wanted a dragon."
The Decay Quirk user only watched as a beam of ice pierced the Sludge Villain from above straight through the middle. The news vehicle moved back and showed a one level building sized white Dragon with green lines and glowing green eyes circling above the Villain before dropping down and spreading a wing to hit a fanged Villain away from Hawks.
He watched as a green cloaked person slide down its back and rushed to the Sludge Villain with a weapon in hand. The blade gleamed the glow of a Skill and he recognized the use of the [Rapid Bite] Dagger Skill. The weapon made him shiver as the person held it out for the crew to zoom in on.
The Doctor was rambling about the waste of resources and to examine his success. Tomura Shigaraki let out a curse as the hood fell. A green glow erupted from him before a snake like creature with arms grabbed the hostages.
As soon as the newly recognized teen and the hostages were out the teen pointed at the Villain with the dagger and the maw of the creature let loose a torrent of flames. A loud roar of victory shook the camera as the white dragon slammed the fanged Villain into the ground and pinning him to it.
Tomura whispered in a scratchy voice. "Teacher."
"Hmm? What is it?" Came the rasping of Tomura's savior.
"I know what you mean about Fallen Heroes." Tomura's hand reached the back of his neck and he scratched.
If he had eyebrows the Super Villain would have raised them. "You do?"
"Whatever plans you have for him...Leave him to me." His voice drifted.
"Child. The only one able to fight me is All Might and his soon to be Successor. Not some artificial Quirk user." Came the reply of the old Super Villain to his apprentice. "Besides you have nothing to do with my decisions. Or are you questioning my judgement?"
Tomura let out a throaty chuckle. "You don't understand. I killed his Guild. I ordered a group to go after an idol in game that grew to be like his sister and ordered another to kill someone that was like a brother to him along with pleasuring himself with a sister figure."
He paused. Muscular was squeezing the head of the male in the Power Hose Hero couple. He watched as another dragon appeared and slammed into Muscular before sending a bolt of green lightning into the mans chest. The man collapsed into the arms of the cloaked figure before he laid them down.
Green lightning arced upon the black blade. A gleam of shining green glowed as the teen took a stance like a rapier user. A streak of green flashed through the Villains arm that held the hostage. In the next moment the cloaked teen could be seen twirling around before parrying the large club of another Villain.
Muscular was screaming in pain. He clutched his arm as he started to twitch. Tomura could hear the news reporter say that the lightning had seemingly cauterized the wound.
The Decay Quirk user grinned widely. "We have a history within the game. We've talked. We've fought. We've been...playing our games. I'm the Joker. He's Batman. I'm Thanos. He's all the Avengers. I'm his Villain. He's my Hero. What more can I say Teacher?"
The Super Villain sighed. "Very well Shigaraki. Do as you will child."
Mei Hatsume flinched as she watched Izuku Midoriya parry the club and twirl before slicing at the ankles of the woman Villain as he slid under her before jumping on her back and slicing into her shoulder. She noticed the family hudling together on the side of the screne with Vulcan in front of them who was grappling with a man who seemed to be made of stone.
A beam of ice smashed into the ground underneath them and the man stumbled. Vulcan's body turned the icy ground into water before forcing the man to fall and allowing the snake body to wrap around the man like a anaconda. Fire flew from its maw as a clawed Villain tried to sneak up on it.
She could see Raijin leap into the air before a green bolt flew right in front of a mass group of small time Villains. The girl would have cheered if All Might hadn't arrived to take out the group. A single Smash! took out the vast majority of Villains.
The dragon glowed before disappearing along with Vulcan. The green cloaked teen flew in the air because of the oversized club right into All Might. It would have been fine until the teen collapsed as a man made of fire raced towards the duo.
All Might lifted the teen in his arms before leaping back from the new Villain. The Sludge Villain could be seen coming at the Bakugou family. The purple haired hostage started tossing balls at an incoming werewolf looking mutant. Hawks was using his feathers as shields against a woman who threw lasers from her hands.
The screen zoomed out to show the giant dragon being slammed in the head by Endeavor. From bad to worse the dragon screeched and let loose the fanged Villain from its paws and glowed green before vanishing. Obvious scorch marks had been seen on the dragons scales.
Then he flew down to where All Might was and caught the attention of the Flame Villain.
The staff of U.A. were in an uproar.
More specifically Power Loader had to be restrained to his wheelchair by Eraserhead and Present Mic in the teachers lounge where a huge T.V. screen was displaying the chaos.
Midnight paled as the normally calm man cursed as a news crew showed a teenage boy who had just collapsed, started to rush towards the Sludge Villain while Endeavor attacked the Flame Villain and All Might stopped the club of the Villain that sent the boy flying.
A body of the Werewolf Villain. slammed into the Sludge Villain and Mirko appeared. She rushed the cloaked teen and steadied him. A green glow surrounded the boys hands and back before he grinned.
Power Loader went still as he recognized the smile. It was a thing that everyone recognized when seeing him in battle on the Frontline of the Death Game. It was a gentle smile that tightened as if to hold back laughter.
More Villains were appearing. More than what was declared moments ago. On top of nearby buildings and alongside the street Villains a small amount of Villains were appearing.
Two glowing green tipped arrows streaked through the air and pierced both the giant wielding the club along with the laser Quirk user. Both were struck in the shoulder. A single black arrow struck the Flame Villain and seemed to be snared by surrounding shadows that cacooned him.
Power Loader let loose a roar of laughter. "What didn't that Dragon Hoarding brat not do? A freaking bow? That was supposed to be impossible to craft or...did the system give it to him in a event?"
Snipe looked on in fascination as the teen took out an arrow from his quiver and put it on the string of a black metal long bow. A zoom up of the teen showed that it had two eastern dragons wrapping around the grip on both sides of the bow with their tail before coming outwards as if they were fangs. Going to both of the tips were western dragons that at the tips both had faces that curved inward to point at the grips.
"A perfect weapon to stab and bludgeon while also providing range." The voice of Nezu squeaked. "He has been very busy if he has learnt that amount of his abilities."
As the principal spoke the teens arrow glowed a luminescent green before it streaked into the air. The arrow burst into green dust before impacting a count of three Villains heading his way before he pulled another arrow and jumped into the air before the first Villain. The arrow struck the leg of the Villain and it showed ice spreading.
The teen slammed his bow into one of the Villains arm who didn't move, ripped it out before slamming the tip into the chest of the last Villain. The Villain with the stab wound screamed in pain as the other Villain was knocked back.
The camera man zoomed out to show that Ryuko had come on scene and was now dealing with a Cyclopes Villain. Mirko was doing a spin kick into a Gorilla. All Might was delivering the hostages to another area with a leap. Endeavor was battling a water and stone manipulating duo of Villains.
Of course the teen wasn't staying still. It seemed the longer he fought, the better off he was. More Villains went for the teen instead of the other Heroes. Eraserhead grunted as the teen made the bow disappear with his right hand glowing before the dagger came back just in time to parry a man with a lead pipe swinging at his head.
"The kids doing decently." The Underground Hero muttered. He watched as a Villain was kicked in his jewels before the teen grasped the pipe, yanked it, and twirled behind the Villain before ramming it where the sun doesn't shine.
A smile came from the Pro. "Nice. I like this kid."
Midnight gasped as the curly green haired teen smirked at the camera before jumping on the Villains back like a step before backflipping and horizontally kicking a Villains face in before falling to the ground on his feet.
Green lightning spread across the dagger. His eyes could be seen glowing in the dark. The hood that had fallen was now on. The camera and news cast zoomed in even closer to hear the teen roar out "Surrender!"
As if it was his moment to shine everyone saw the teen glow ominously before a large number of what could only be called drakonic creatures appeared behind him.
It was then that everything stopped at a standstill. The white dragon huffed out a blast of frost air from its nose. The black dragon curled in on itself like a cat ready to pounce after it turned to face the Villains that were behind the boy along with the snake like one with arms. The slamming of paws from the dog like dragon made the ground tremble as green stone appeared.
On his left arm was an armored snake and on his head poked out a small snout with glowing eyes. From his shadows rose a snake with wings. A small wyven landed on the back of the dog creature.
The HPSC Head's eye twitched. "What the hell did I just watch?"
Her secretary, a middle aged man stood behind her. "Madam? I think you just saw a teen work with numerous Heroes to save hostages."
"He should be labeled as a Vigilante!" The Head growled out.
The man tugged at his collar. "Ma'am. I believe he should be trained."
The woman turned to stare her secretary down. "He's a flight risk. He has too much power."
"Why not send him to a Hero Academy?" Coughed the man.
She hummed. "I suppose that could work. I need to discuss this with the government. Hopefully I can make this work in my favor."
All Might in his crippled form smiled as he watched on the hospitals television screen. He could see the tears in the cloak. Look at the bloody gash that had opened up above the boys left eye.
He had heard a rib snap when he arrived and he had noticed as the boy had risen with a twisted ankle. The Hero knew he had left the boy barely able to breath. He could hear the short and pain filled breaths.
He had looked in to the eyes of that teen and saw passion that burned brighter than he had ever seen. He knew that stubbornness to stand even when it hurt. The idea of showing strength.
He leaned back into the hospital chair and relaxed. He knew about the boy through the HPSC. Specifically Shinji Ame. The talks they had about a man who had dreams to save people no matter the cost who had been taken too early. They had spoken about regrets and symbols in their last talk.
The Number One Pro Hero closed his eyes as he sank into the seat and tilted his head back.
"You were right. He'll make a fine Hero."
