Hello there before I start I like I'm about to try something so I don't know how well this is going to turn out, but here goes nothing. Oh, by the way, when you notice a change in writing, I just broke my formal writing style. Ahh, school. Well, enjoy the story.

Chapter 3- The awakened beast

Two weeks have passed since meeting Pony. We quickly became best friends as the weeks went on. Pony was very excited to learn about Japan, and I'm also helping her learn Japanese. Mom was ecstatic that I made a friend, so quickly. However, today the daycare was closed for cleaning, due to an accident with a kid discovering their quirk. So today Mom decided to take me to the park and my sister tagged along too. Me and sis played at the park until Mom said it was time to go home. As we walked across the street, my sister talked to mom about what she wants to do as we were walking across the street, a car comes screaming down the road, I notice it's about to hit us. So before I know what I'm doing, I push my mom and sister out the way and brace myself.

The next thing I see is complete darkness surrounding me, but outside is something completely different.

Something going on, it feels like someone has taken control of my body and it also seems that I've been locked away as I see chains surrounding me.

On the outside, the car looks like it crashed into a pole and in the middle of it, all is a little girl. Her skin is completely red with steam pouring out from everywhere, her hair is as red as her skin with the spike on her head contrasting being snow white.

Several heroes arrive on the scene and one captures the men in the car, one checks on the little girl, while a woman and a girl follow close by. The hero is a man known as Dead Arm, he looks like a bodybuilder and is wearing a blue vest and caution tape color headband, and gauntlets. Before he can say anything, however, he is sent flying off into a building by the little girl with a demented smile on her face and taking a fighting stance. As this happens several heroes move in between the woman and girl.

"Don't hurt my daughter! Something's wrong with her, I think it's something with her quirk." The woman yells with concern in her voice.

"We'll try to ma'am." Another hero assures her. The woman then pulls out a phone and starts dialing a number.

"I'm calling your father, I'm sure he knows what to do." The woman says to the girl.

Inside my mind, a figure appears, it's a girl that looks just like me except her hair color scheme is opposite to mine, "W-Who are you?" That's all I can say, due to being scared out of mind.

"I am the rage or true power of your quirk. You can call me, the beast." The beast says in a tone sounding of undying rage.

"No, the second I let you free is the second I damn a million people's lives. All I have left to say is. BEAST BACK IN THE CAGE!" I say this using all the willpower I have to lock her away, but she manages to hold on. Back in the real world, the situation is under control, another hero has joined saying he is the father of the girl. All of a sudden the little girl grabs her head and starts yelling like she's fighting against herself.

A girl then runs up to her and says "Snap out of it!" And headbutting her the young girl then returns to normal and promptly faints in the older girl's hands. The accident was labeled as a quirk discovery, I woke up the next day with no recollection of the incident, I now have red highlights and my eye color has changed to blood red.

I couldn't remember what I did and was forced to go through a series of exams to figure out what my quirk is.

After the tests, the doctors figured out my quirk is activated by damage and I can absorb the damage and convert it into strength. I named it Berserker cause it sounded cool. Everybody was worried about me after the incident, but I manage to calm them down by assuring them it will not happen again if I start training my quirk now. However, the doctors said, I would have to stay in the hospital as they figure out the potential of my quirk. Mom says she'll stay with me. Dad says he'll take Lisa home but before they go, I say thanks to Lisa for helping me.

After three days, the doctors say they're done with the examinations of my quirk and I can go home. The examinations revealed my body temperature spikes to the point where my sweat boils and steams off my skin when my quirk is active, and it grants me increased durability, stamina, strength, pain tolerance, and minor regeneration. They say my regeneration can repair fractures and cuts but not serious wounds. When me and mom return home, my sister and dad set up a party to congratulate me on my return and my discovery of my quirk.

After the party, later that night, me and Thana check on the beast and see she hasn't tried to do anything, I talk to her.

"Listen Beast, I know if I try to keep you locked up you will try to take over me again. So, listen I will let you out, when the situation is desperate, on one condition, if you try to hurt anyone innocent or if I see you try to kill anyone without a reason I will lock you back up. Got it?" All the beast does is nod.

"Good, well see you Thana." That's the last thing I say before going to bed.

The next day, I go back to daycare and see Pony worried out of her mind. She asks where I was for the past few days, I tell her, I was in the hospital due to me discovering my quirk and the examinations I had to go through. I tell her about my quirk and while telling her, I notice two very unique boys, a boy with spiky bleached and another with black messy hair with green highlights or Katsuki Bakugo and Izuku Midoriya.

"Hold on Pony," I interrupt our current conversation, "I'll be back in a second."

I walk up to the two boys and greet them, "Hey there I'm Corteny Tan, who are you?"

"I am Izuku Midoriya, and this is Bakugo, my best friend. Nice to meet you, Cortney." Izuku introduces both himself and Bakugo.

"Nice to meet you guys. I'll talk to you guys later." I leave them to themselves and go back to Pony.

I wonder what I'm going to do with these two before my mind instantly runs with the idea of bullying them. I think that's a choice for them, but I'll wait until Bakugo's quirk shows.

That's when I start the bullying, the reason being that Bakugo will throw all his anger at me and not Izuku, Deku, on the other hand, is so I can toughen him up so he's better prepared for One for All.

"Cortney, who were those boys you were talking to?" Pony asks.

"You shouldn't worry about them. Hey Pony, what do you want to be when you grow up?" I deflect the question by asking Pony what she wants to be.

"I want to be a hero just like my parents!" Pony exclaims tapping her hooves against the floor in excitement.

"Me too. Let's work our hardest to be the best heroes ever." I add.

"Yeah!"

After more time passes, one day I find Bakugo and Izuku playing in a sandcastle, I hear Bakugo call Izuku, Deku, now is the time to put my plan into action.

"Hey Kachy, what are you doing to Deku?" Before Bakugo can respond, I trip up his legs, causing him to face-plant into the sand. Before Izuku can thank me, however, I grab a bucket and fill it with sand and plop the bucket on his head. I then grab both the boys by their legs and lift them up, causing them to dangle upside down.

"Listen here you two I'm going to make your lives a living hell for the rest of our lives. Got it?" I say with the tone of a passive-aggressive neighbor. I drop the boy face-first into the sand before I get an answer from them. I then see the boys that were usually seen with Bakugo and say "I won't hurt you if you don't try to help Kachy or hurt Deku. Okay?" I then leave the playground and go home.

Time goes on and I continue to bully Kachy and Dekuy (I decided to change it to Dekuy to keep a theme) trying not to hurt them seriously except when Kachy tried to hurt me after he got his quirk and covered my clothes in dust from his explosion, I ended up burying him up to his neck. Other than that, nothing notable happens.

Before I know it my seventh birthday comes around and this time I invited Pony, Kachy, and Deku. They all show up, the boys probably because their parents made them.

Before the party starts, I pull Kachy and Dekuy to the side, "All right you two, I told you that if you came to my party then I wouldn't bully you for two weeks." I hold out two fingers. "I'm a girl of my word, so I won't go back on my promise."

"Thank you, Cortney." Dekuy is happy about me easing up on him for two weeks.

"Hmph." Kachy may not sound happy but his face says it all.

"There you are Cortney, I was wondering where you were." Sis drops so she can face me properly, "We can't start the party without the birthday girl. Come on." Sis brings me and the boys back to the party.

At the end of the party, I see what presents I got a figure of All Might from Dekuy and nothing from Bakugo, which I suspected from him and passed that off, and a journal from Pony, which I promise to cherish, once I learn how to write.

I ask her where she got the idea, and she tells me to look inside, and I see a note, which says, "Use this to remember me by." written messily by Pony. I ask what she means.

"I'm moving back to America. I have to go and pack my things before the party's over." She says with as much bravery as she can muster. Before she goes, I stop her and run to my room and grab a band which I haven't worn since I was four and give it to her, I tell her to wrap it around her horns when they grow in to remember me.

She tells me, she will keep in touch before going off. I tell everybody, it would be best if they go home, which they agree with and go home. Right before I go into my room, mom stops me and pulls out a present, I open it and pull out a pair of what looks like MMA fighter gloves. My sister came up with the idea and mom was the one who made them, she added extra padding and a metal plate in front of them to make sure I wouldn't hurt my knuckles.

They're the standard red and have my initials on the front, however, the palms have a Velcro-type material on them, mom says they're there to be able to add extensions on later. Sis and dad say they'll start training tomorrow.

Mom tells me to look inside my present again, I look inside the present again, and see some sorta binding, mom says they're a nano-fiber weave wrap, that she made in order to help soften blows against my chest. I kiss mom goodbye before going to bed and get ready to start training tomorrow.

The next day sis and dad take me to a forest behind our apartment to start training, dad helps me with my quirk while my sister teaches me the bulk of how to fight. We go on for three-hour periods with fifteen-minute breaks. This goes on for a week during which I notice changes going on in my body, I'm eating a lot more, I'm growing much taller than the average woman and my hair is starting to grow out a lot more. I put this to side effects of my quirk, another three weeks go by with my training, one day during one of my breaks, a small puppy comes out of the brush looking injured, it was limping and fell over after a few steps, seeing this causes me to rush over to it. Its whole body is covered in white fur, while its tail is black like it's been dunked in black paint, it doesn't seem to be older than a year it seems like a predator tried to make it lunch, but it managed to get away but not without a taste.

Dad comes around looking at what taking me so long, I turn around with the dog in my arms and ask him if we can keep it after a minute of arguing, my sister comes around and ask if we can keep him. Dad then says we can keep him if we promise to take care of him, we promise. Dad ends training early today in order to get the dog to the vet. We find out he's going to be okay and there are no permanent injuries and that the dog is actually a boy and he seems to actually have a quirk, which causes his tail to leak out paint. I ended up naming him Chibiterasu or Chibi for short, it wasn't that hard of a choice for his name, because of a certain sun goddess' son hiding as a wolf pup.

Me and sis quickly house train Chibi, so mom and dad don't have to worry. The little guy really likes my wraps, he tries to go for them whenever they're exposed, this does end up being good training for my reflexes. One problem, the ink from Chibi's tail drips all over the place so we end taking him to train with us to help him control his quirk.

Chibi is much smaller than most puppies so instead of using a leash, we just put him on our head. However, one day while he was sleeping dad accidentally stepped on his tail, but instead of trying to bite him like most dogs, he instead starts to wag his tail but suddenly stopped and went back to sleep. We look around to see what happened, I then find a small cut on a tree that wasn't there before, then we figure out that Chibi's ink can affect the world around him in different ways.

I dub the attacks brush arts, I manage to get him to try it again, but it seems he doesn't have full control yet, the attacks are either weak and inaccurate, just straight up won't come out, or just leaves black ink in place of the attack.

I call it a day at the very least I did figure out a way to have him use the attack by moving my finger in a crescent across the target, I come with a name for the "attack" even though it barely counts. I call it, brush art slice, but that's all I'll be able to do for a while since I'm starting elementary school tomorrow. I eat, then get ready for school, wondering what's going to happen tomorrow.
