Hello and welcome to another experimental fanfic of Boku no Hero Academia, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, as this will be the second time that the main character would become a hero…in a different way.
This came when I accidentally came across a website that feature several Asian TV and movie series, and as I decided to scroll this site I accidentally came across a certain tv series that was aired way back in 2000. After seeing the title I checked Wikipedia for information, and after reading it, I decided to download the episodes and watched it, which I was enticed due to its deep story.
The said TV drama is Kamen Rider Kuuga. Having watched the Episodes, it inspired me to come up with a fanfic version, which I had to think which anime series would I use to adapt Kuuga, until My Hero Academia came across my head.
Both main characters of the two shows have similar situations, as they were originally powerless, but gained an ability that gave them access to certain powers.
This made me come up with an experimental plot, and now everything is set in motion as I will try this out and see if this would attract fans.
Izuku Midoriya is the obvious main character. While elements of the manga and anime of MHA would be shown, the rest would diverge a bit as it would feature a lot of original plot but will retain the hero society plotline and the such.
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Prologue
Ten years ago…
The scene shifts at an apartment, where a five-year old boy, sporting green, curly hair and having a freckled face, is watching a live footage on his computer, where several pro heroes are seen doing heroic deeds like stopping crime and saving people. The little boy is so fixated that he aspires to become a hero himself when he grows up.
The boy is identified as Izuku Midoriya, and he appeared to be an avid fan of pro hero All-Might. As the little boy is watching in awe and admiration, his mother, Inko, smiled as she felt that her son has found inspiration, and there the little boy told his mom that he wants to become a hero like All-Might, which his mom smiled and said he would one day become one.
"Mom! Look!"
"Yes?"
"All-Might is amazing, right?"
"Yes, izuku."
"Can I become like him?"
"I'm sure you would."
"I'm going to become a hero when I grow up!"
"Yes, Izuku."
However, as fate would make itself apparent, the Midoriya family learned from a doctor that Izuku is Quirkless, and told Inko that they should just give it up, and accept the fact that Izuku is just an ordinary boy and can never become a pro hero, which Inko was in disbelief, asking the doctor how is this possible as she and her husband possess Quirks.
However, the doctor said that Izuku is one of the rare cases where he is born Quirkless and tells her that Izuku should just become an ordinary citizen, attend an ordinary school and live an ordinary life, and tells her that this is how life is, nothing more.
Izuku is heart-broken at this as he feels that his dreams will never be achieved and Inko consoled her son, seeing that he is depressed at this and apologized to her son, though all he could do is cry silently at this as he is forced to face the harsh truth and reality.
"M-mom…"
"Izuku…?"
"C-can…I…still be…a hero…?"
"Izuku…"
"…"
"Oh, Izuku! I'm sorry!"
"…"
"I'm sorry!"
-x-
In the years that passed, Midoriya's status as a Quirkless became known to his neighborhood, and neighborhood bullies uses their Quirk to torment him, mentally, and physically, to the point of badly injuring him, and as a battered and bleeding Midoriya lay on the ground, the bullies are ready to inflict more harm on the hapless boy, seeing that he could not fight back due to lacking a Quirk.
"Hah!"
"Look at that!"
"He really is Quirkless!"
"He couldn't even retaliate!"
"You're a loser!"
"You should commit suicide!"
"Yeah, you're a failure!"
"A trash!"
However, some local pro heroes intervened, where they saw what the bullies are doing to Midoriya. One of the heroes is apparently well-known and the bullies were quite terrified at what they are seeing.
There the pro hero told the bullies that what they are doing is wrong, and made them choose: apologize to Midroiya and turn themselves in, or receive more PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE from the pro hero himself. The terrified bullies quivered like cowards as they recognized the pro hero and kneels down and apologized.
"I AM SORRY!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"WE DIDN'T MEAN TO!"
"SPARE US!"
"FORGIVE US!"
"THE BAD GUYS MADE ME DO IT!"
"PLEASE FORGIVE US!"
"WE'LL DO ANYTHING!"
The pro hero who stood before the bullies is identified as the Fiber Hero: Best Jeanist. There Jeanist's sidekicks showed up and assisted a badly injured Midoriya. They are members of Team Jeanist that is led by Best Jeanist himself, and the sidekicks made a physical assessment on Midoriya and realized that the boy need help.
The other sidekick told Jeanist that Midoriya needs to be taken to a hospital as he is badly hurt, and advises that the bullies be taken to the police and have their parents summoned, as this is needed given what the bullies did, which Jeanist agreed, saying that what the bullies did is unacceptable.
"Best Jeanist. We ought to take these bullies to the police."
"Yeah. And have their parents summoned. What these bullies did is too much."
"It's about time these bullies need to learn a lesson and make them face reality."
"He's right."
"What do you say, Jeanist?"
"We should take them to the police."
"These guys need to know what would happen if they do not stop their bullying ways."
"Awaiting your response, Jeanist."
"Please give us your answer, Jeanist."
Nodding, Best Jeanist tells his sidekicks to tie up the bullies and have them brought to the police station, and the bullies begged not to, as they do not want to get scolded by their parents, and they pleaded loudly not to be taken to the police.
"I AM SORRY! WE DIDN'T MEAN TO"
"FORGIVE US! PLEASE FORGIVE US!"
"WE DIDN'T MEAN TO! WE JUST GOT CARRIED AWAY! HONEST!"
"SPARE US! DON'T TAKE US TO THE POLICE!"
"FORGIVE US! WE PROMISE TO CHANGE!"
"THE YOUKAI MADE ME DO IT! THEY FORCED US TO DO IT!"
"PLEASE FORGIVE US! WE'LL BEHAVE FROM NOW ON!"
"WE'LL DO ANYTHING!"
Jeanist did not listen and tied up the bullies as he and the sidekicks took them to the police while the other sidekick brought Midoriya to the hospital to have medics patch up the boy's wounds. Inko soon learned of this and filed charges, which the bullies' parents took the brunt and are nearly charged but eventually settled in an out-of-court deal as the parents promised to discipline their children.
Inko thanked Best Jeanist for saving her son, which he said it is nothing and told her to tell Izuku not to be dejected, as he can be a hero in other ways just because the boy was born Quirkless, which a grateful Inko said she will tell Izuku about this.
"Oh, thank you! Thank you!"
"It's nothing, madam."
"I'll tell my son what you just told me!"
"It's okay, no sweat."
"I'm very grateful to you for saving my son!"
"Your son will be a fine lad when he grows up. I am sure he can achieve anything in spite of not having a Quirk."
"I know."
"Good."
After that, the Midoriya family went home, and told Izuku what Best Jeanist said and this inspired Izuku to strive in the face of adversity that came to his life, and kept on dreaming even though life is harsh to him.

Present day…
In the next few years that passed, Midoriya is set to graduate middle school in a few months from now, and while walking home one day, he encountered the number one hero, All Might, where a series of events took place, such as the Sludge villain attacking a teen boy, and there All Might went into action and defeated the said villain, but then All Might told Midoriya that since he is Quirkless, he can't become a hero.
"Sorry, young lad. It's impossible."
"Eh…?"
"Since you do not have a Quirk...there is zero chance for you."
"But…"
"I'm sorry, but that's how it is."
"…"
"You should go home, young lad."
"…"
Hearing the words from the hero he greatly admired, Midoriya was disheartened and left, while All Might knew that the young boy had to face the harsh reality as it is impossible for Midoriya to reach that dream if he doesn't have a Quirk.
Several minutes later, Sludge Villain managed to escape and attempted to take a victim. All Might arrived but is hesitant to respond but became impressed when Midoriya went and risked his life to save Katsuki Bakugo from Sludge Villain despite being Quirkless, and though All Might eventually went to save the two boys, the pro hero told Midoriya in a private meeting that despite his heroics, the boy still cannot become a pro hero, much to Midoriya's dismay.
As Midoriya left, All Might wondered if he did the right thing as he can tell that Midoriya is such a dreamer yet he has to face the fact that he is Quirkless and cannot become a hero.

Elsewhere…
The scene shows that at an excavation site where several archeological researchers are digging up something and are rather excited as they felt that they might discover something that might lead them to being recognized as important research teams and would be awarded with a Nobel Prize.
"Oh boy…"
"This is it…"
"The discovery of the new decade…"
"I can't wait to see what's in there…"
"Yes…I'm expecting that we might discover something that would shape the hero society…"
"And make us famous…"
"Yeah…imagine being featured on TV..."
"Then let's get back to work…"
As the excavation team worked double time, they unearthed what appeared to be a tomb of ancient origin, and the team members approached the tomb, and with some help from hired MUSCLE MEN, the tomb was opened and the archeological researchers were a bit disappointed as all they saw is a skeletal remains.
The archeological researchers were debating on whether their efforts are in vain until one of the researchers noticed what appeared to be a rather metallic belt covered in dusts, and there the researcher took it and looked at the object seeing some ANCIENT SCRIPTURES embedded onto the belt-like object.
"Look at that…"
"I never seen anything like that…"
"And there are symbols engraved…"
"I see it…"
"We should translate it…"
"Do you have anyone in mind…?"
"I think so…"
"Come on…we got to decipher it…!"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as I sort of started the story with a bit of canon, such as Midoriya being born Quirkless and the like, though I added a bit of original content by having Best Jeanist save Midoriya from the bullies, and gave him inspiration to face adversity, while the rest of the flashback scene stick closely to the original manga…
So far All Might and Best Jeanist appear in this chapter, but the upcoming chapters, whilst sticking to the Hero Academia plots, would feature some ORIGINAL elements so as to blend the two franchises together in this story.
Preview:
As Midoriya heads home to reflect and consider to resign to fate, an unexpected situation takes place…and Midoriya would soon come across the so-called artifact that the archeological researchers found…
See you in September…
Reviews are welcomed, but needed…
