I am pretty sure that everyone, at one point in his or her life, has heard the phrase 'be your own hero.' Well, at least if you read sappy books, you would have, especially the pre-quirk books. Typically, this means that you have to take care of yourself, or you get yourself out of a bad situation.

Of course, with how times are, this phrase can be thrown out of the window for two reasons.

The first is obvious: A hero is an occupation you can go into. It is a job.

The second only applies to me: I'm pretty fucking sure that when that person came up with that phrase, they didn't mean for me to go around at two in the morning beating up assholes while running a mafia illegally.

Now that should have caught your attention.

Hello, bitches! I'm Izuku Midoriya, or Virus to the public, Japan's number one most wanted vigilante and youngest Yakuza boss of the group Mafia at 14.

Before I forget, fuck the police for calling my Mafia a yakuza. I think calling my group a Mafia is more refreshing, but will they accept that?

No! No, they won't! They refer to the Japanese name. I guess the police have more important things to worry about than a name. Oh, extra information for you all: I know a lot of American and English shit because my dad left me for America, and I tried to learn something from there so that we can talk about something. He never did come back.

I need to get back on topic. Sorry, I'm an easily distractable person. You probably have a lot of questions and don't worry! I will answer some of them through my explanation!

Let's start with the basics: Welcome to the world of quirks, aka, superpowers! These quirks can range from being a genius to be able to change the size of your pee-pee! If you can imagine it, someone probably has it! There are no limitations there. About 80% of the population has a quirk. The rest are 'quirkless,' meaning they are pieces of shit as they are the inferior.

Before you call me out for discrimination, I am quirkless, so it's okay. I'm just informing you of the way things are. Continuing, I'm willing to guess that 95% of the quirkless population is elderly as I have never met another quirkless person my age. Don't I feel special?

With the rise of quirks came the rise of heroes and villains into society. As a villain, you can do whatever the fuck you want. It is basically a cooler name for a criminal. However, to become a hero, you have to go to a hero school. Then, you have to get a provisional license to be able to use your quirk to help legally as it's illegal to use your quirk in public.

Doesn't that put a twist on the word heroes?

Of course, we can't forget about the middle line I fall under, which is vigilantes!

Vigilantes are a mixture of both. They do whatever the fuck they want, but they do the job of heroes sometimes. It really depends on their beliefs. The primary law they break is the quirk law that states that you can't use your quirk in public. Then we have me, a quirkless person. Based on that rule, what I do is technically legal if you ignore everything else. However, with the shit I pull, I'm surprised that I am not put as a villain. Let me give you an idea.

Shit I Do to Get in Trouble List

1. Hacking the government (Probably the main reason I am wanted. I know shit I shouldn't know.)

2. Illegal equipment (I promise that metal gauntlets with claws that produce electricity to the point of knocking someone out is necessary.)

3. Disrespecting authority (Honestly, I should be paid for insulting Endeavor (trash hero) at this point. "My electricity burns hotter than you, and I can keep a woman, you abusive bitch.")

4. Inappropriate behavior (I call bullshit on that.)

5. Noise Disturbance (I was doing to the pledge for the city. "You was at the club, bottoms up when I first met you.")

The list can go on. However, I'm sure you want actual story progress.

I'm walking around Musutafu as, through my illegal connections, I have heard that there is supposed to be a villain attack. I should be at school, but due to being a genius, I graduated from college a couple of years ago with too many degrees to count. That's what boredom leads you to. It also guides you starting a mafia full of vigilantes and other things that I will reveal later.

With my horrible social status, I had to disguise myself, so my real self won't get arrested. I have a life outside of Virus. Currently, I have a black wig that covers my left eye that looks emo as fuck. Then, I have red contacts in and a black medical mask to hide my cute face. I'm wearing all black of a button-up long-sleeve, gloves, and skinny jeans. The only other color is my obnoxious red shoes, but they have shock-absorbent, so whatever works! Sure, it's hot but better than be caught and put in a dirty prison cell.

I don't mind the cell before you ask. I care about the dirt and germs in the cell.

A scream interrupts my thoughts, and, unlike most logical people, I run towards it. I avoid bashing into people as I find the scene: some alive DIY slime by chased by All Might.

WAIT, ALL MIGHT!? WHEN THE FUCK DID HE COME INTO TOWN!?

All Might is the number one hero, the Symbol of Peace. That puts a damper on my plans. In the shape I am in, I am not prepared to outrun All Might of all people. For fuck sakes, when he jumps, he leaves a damn crater and can go over buildings! I'm fast, but I look like a Volkswagon Beetle next to a Bugatti!

Wait, doesn't he have a time limit? I know I'm not supposed to know that, but he does, right? It's so obvious if you look over the years of his work because it has been decreasing.

I follow behind them, watching as a legal civilian should. I continue to stalk until the slime goes into the sewers.

That's disgusting. I almost stop my mission right there and call someone else to do it, but I don't. I mean, All Might could do it, but I don't want to push his supposed time limit. All Might is a substantial social figure, but I noticed how he always throws himself in the way. It's disappointing? I can't describe it. He gives the wrong idea of what a hero should be. He's too self-sacrificing.

Someone's probably going to call me out on saying that, but think of it like this; against no other choice, if it were between a person and All Might, I would choose All Might. He can save more lives and is an overall, more significant benefit to society. Most people think at that moment. What people should do is think of the interest in the future. It sucks emotionally but makes sense logically.

I pull out my phone and look through the illegal maps of the sewers. With so many different ways Slimer can go, my best choice is to wait for the slime to pop out. I can guess he is going to the outsides of the city.

I better move.


Later that day, I have the clouds to watch and find shapes with. During the day, I get to watch citizens wander around from the roofs. If I am lucky, there is a street fight. Those get fun to watch. Today is a dull day, though. Most vigilantes tend to work at night in the shadows. Obviously, I work whenever the fuck I want because I run on food and water, not sleep. The only problem is that, during the day, I can't wear my regular clothes and gear. It would stand out too much. I have to look like someone not about to sass the police.

I feel like something should have happened by now.

BOOM!

There we go! I jump the roofs to the location to find the slime has become a fire slime. A for effort slime community. F for not creating a nice one. Of course, people are watching the scene, but the disappointing part is the damn heroes are watching as well!

Like, ahem! Get to work! Chop chop! You don't need your damn quirks! My main question is, why the fuck is the slime not moving? I would suspect it to run. After a quick look, I see why. It has someone in its sludge. Does that mean it can take over bodies? That's what it is pointing to. However, the amusing part is I know this person.

Bakugo Katsuki. My bully when I was still in school. Everyone bullied me, but he was the main one because he had the most potent quirk. His hands produce nitroglycerin, allowing him to create explosions. Those explosions are going off now in an attempt to get the sludge off but to no avail. If anything, they are preventing the heroes from getting close.

I almost want to leave him in there. You know, Karma. However, I was raised with two percent of manners, so I know better. Groaning, I hop from the roof, making sure to do a flip before I land in front of the slime, my shoes taking the shock. I already hear the media going off with the new news.

"Who are you, brat? Going to try and save your buddy here?" The slime taunts. I grin under my mask. This is going to be fun. I pull out my only defense, a pocket knife, and start the act.

"I feel so offended! You don't recognize me?! Oh, the agony!" I dramatize. I can sense the tension in the air.

One of the heroes, Death Arms, I believe, exclaims, " Virus!"

"OH, AT LEAST SOMEONE RECOGNIZES ME! Now, you should know how I work. Heard me around. Let him go."

The sludge thing has the nerve to laugh at me, " Why should I listen to you?! You have no way of beating me!"

I chuckle darkly, bringing my aura up, "However, I have a way of making you blind. You're eyes and mouth are solid, yes? You should know that I don't hesitate. Now, let the boy go."

Huh, so a slime can shiver. Bakugo is dropped from the sludge, and one of the heroes grab him to get him out of the scene. I let up the aura — wrong move. I jump back to avoid some slime getting on me.

"I may not be able to fight with him, but I can fight you one-on-one!" The slime tries to convince itself.

"Really? Turn yourself over to the police. I'm giving you five seconds unless you want never to see again."

I lift it again, and something unsuspected happens.

All Might jumps in front of me and uses his strength to slip the slime apart. He didn't even give him a chance to consider it! He punched him straight in the face! Hell, the place even starts raining because of it!

I chuckle, " Nice to see you up close, especially your ass since you're so tall, but I have shit to do like eating. I haven't eaten in two hours!" I dash without hesitation, ignoring the heroes and hopping over some branches. However, one is easily able to keep up with me. After slipping through some alleyways, I stop and turn around to see All Might. I grin, something he can't see.

"Knew you would follow me. I already know of your true form, so stop wasting time and switch, Yagi."

Okay, maybe that isn't the best way to start a conversation because the skeleton in front of me is coughing up blood.

Ew.
