Prologue: The Heir
Devastated. Was the one thing 5 year old Izuku Midoriya felt when he got his test results from the doctor. He was diagnosed as Quirkless in a world full of Quirks. Quirks were supernatural powers that manifested within someone since the day a baby emitting light was born. Over 80% of the population had quirks while the remaining 20% was Quirkless.
All men were not created equal in this world of supernatural normalcy. Those with quirks looked down on the quirkless as inferiors. Being quirkless made it harder to get jobs, being accepted, living and almost every aspect of life especially to become a hero. Most Quirkless people will even commit suicide to avoid the pain.
For Izuku, it was a shattering endless nightmare. Izuku wanted to be a hero ever since he first discovered them especially his role model All Might. However being quirkless shattered that dream. His friends at school turned into his worst enemies especially his best friend Katsuki Bakugo while others stayed away from him like the plague.
His own father tried to kill him for being quirkless leaving a nasty scar on his mother that would never go away. He was beaten by kids and teachers while no one stopped them from hurting the poor boy. His mother could barely help heal his pain. Izuku's life had all turned to hell for a year and still was.
Yet Izuku still held onto his dream although it was slipping further from him. However everything was going to change and all in one night. For Izuku was going to have an otherworldly encounter. Izuku was slowly easing himself to slumber when he heard something. "H…" A unfamiliar voice spoke to Izuku. "Huh?" Izuku asked curiously sitting up on his bed.
"Help...m...e…" The voice spoke as Izuku's eye widened and he shot of bed. "Is someone calling for help? I got to help them!" Izuku muttered to himself. He could still here the cry for help. Putting thoughts aside, Izuku ran out of the house ignoring how dangerous it was at night. The boy continued following the voice until he came upon a small park.
He looked around to notice a mysterious light coming from the center. Izuku approached the glowing light to see it was actually a strange creature that seemed to be slowly fading away. The creature was made up of glowing light green energy, it possessed arms and hands but no legs, blue armor adorned his beast like head, chest and shoulders and red eyes.
"Hold on! I'll go get help!' Izuku spoke only for the creature. "I'll be gone before they arrive." The creature answered weakly. "Is there anything I could do to help you?" Izuku asked as the being analyzed Izuku before his eyes widened a bit. "Maybe there is kid but it is your decision." The creature answered as Izuku looked hopeful. "If it saves you then sure! I'll do it!" Izuku stated.
"Kid. I need you to allow me into your heart. I have the ability to merge with others if they allow me into their heart. To do this, you need to say this. 'EM Wave Change! Your first and last name. On the air!' Saying these words will allow us to merge into one being. Doing this will allow me to heal within your very body but there is a chance we won't be able to separate from each other. You'll never be human again." The creature spoke as Izuku shocked.
"Then what will I become?" Izuku asked a bit nervous. "You'll become a EM Human Hybrid. Half EM Alien and Half Human with two souls living in your body if it succeeds. I don't know how it would affect you either if it fails. You might end up turning into living EM Waves and never change back. Your soul might even be loss. Or you could even become an abomination and be made into test subject by your own government. If you don't want to do this, then leave me to die. I will not hate you for either choice." The creature spoke.
Izuku was conflicted. He didn't want to turn into a monster and be experimented on but he didn't want to let this poor being to suffer and die in pain. He didn't know what to do until something flashed in his mind. It was something he learned about being a hero. A hero is someone who sacrifices themselves for others to live. At that very moment, Izuku knew what he must do.
"What's your name? My name is Izuku Midoriya." Izuku asked as the creature noticed determination within Izuku's eyes. "Izuku huh? My name is Omega-xis but you can call me Mega for short." Omega-xis answered. "Alright. Let's do this Mega. EM Wave Change, Izuku Midoriya, on the air!" Izuku stated as both of them were consumed in a bright light.
Mega's body had turned into light and merged with Izuku. Izuku cried out in pain as he could feel his entire molecular structure be rearranged causing a large pillar of light to shot out from his body into the night sky. The pillar had woken up everyone in Japan and attracted them to the park immediately including Izuku's mother Inko when she discovered Izuku was missing. Almost every pro hero in the city was at the site including the Symbol of Peace and Number 1 Hero All Might emerge.
"What's going on?" All Might asked as every other hero was clueless but they did know one thing. Who or what inside that pillar was extremely powerful just from the power the pillar easily gave off. They then noticed the shadow of someone and the sound of screaming coming from it. All Might noticed the size and sound of the shadow before his eyes widened. "All of this power is coming from a child?!" All Might stated.
The light had finally began to die down as the pillar dissipated after sending many clouds flying away. Standing on the scorched earth was Izuku but he looked completely different. He stood about 1 ft taller with some muscle, his left hand was the face of Omega-xis, his hair was long and wild, two metal blades stuck out of his back, his clothes had become dark blue jumpsuit with blue armor on his shoulders, chest, head and feet, a red visor was over his head and presented on the armor on his chest was glowing star like jewel.
The transformation then faded as he changed once more. His hair had turned a light neon green, his skin had turned blue and almost metal like, his arms and most of his body was covered in neon green fur except for his chest which had a bit more muscle to them, his fingers were now razor sharp claws as the other head was gone, his eyes were now red and with green pupils, he grew a long energy like tail that was almost flame like, his feet had become beast like, his fur was now a large mane that reached the ground and his ears were beast like along with his nose. Izuku's clothes were torn to shreds from the transformation.
"I...did...it…" Izuku spoke tiredly as he began to fall towards the ground unconscious only for All Might to catch him before he fell. All Might noticed a slightly scorched photo lying on the ground. It was a picture of Izuku and his mother but there was a man on it but he looked completely torn out. The only evidence he was there was the hand and the torn edges. All Might looked at the back and saw something written on it that made his ever present smile vanished.
'Being quirkless means that you are worthless to everyone you know. Being quirkless means you are unwanted and unloved. All the hope that someone quirkless has is just to disappear. I. AM. NOTHING. BUT. A. MISTAKE.' Was written in childish scribbles while there was tear marks on it with the name Izuku Midoriya written on it. 'This kid...was quirkless? If he was… then what did he do?' All Might thought as he saw Izuku's face which was one at peace.
All Might had taken Izuku to the hospital while trying to avoid the media from doing something stupid but the Symbol of Peace had a lot on his mind. A few hours later… Izuku was currently in a hospital room as his mother was sitting next to him holding his hand. Doctors had run tests over Izuku as one of the Pro Heroes Recovery Girl was going through the results with All Might.
All Might kept looking back at the screen of the unconscious Midoriya while looking through Izuku's files. "This doesn't make sense. It says here that he was born and diagnosed as Quirkless and human with no signs of any quirk being hidden in him. Now it's saying that he is half human and half something else. Are these diagnostics right?" All Might asked curiously looking at the old pro hero Recovery Girl.
"It is true Toshinori. We have run these tests over and over again while they come back with the same results. The boy is practically living EM Waves. Changings range from his appearance to twin hearts and a secondary brain yet no other organs or even flesh and bone except for metal skin. His body emits at least 30 gigahertz per a second and his energy level is beyond 10 suns combined yet somehow his body is keeping it stabilized and control without hurting anyone even if he is unconscious." Recovery Girl explained as Toshi then looked over Izuku's files.
What he found made him grit his teeth in rage. "Apparently this kid's life was hell. One of our investigators managed to look into Izuku's mind and pulled out a hell lot of awful memories. This kid has been beaten at his school by students and teachers, his father tried to kill him at age 5, closed and shut in life and this kid was supposed to be put on suicide watch but these actions were hidden by the ones responsible and covered up. It was recorded here that he attempted to kill himself 4 times!" Toshi explained as Recovery Girl was horrified.
"What about his other memories? Maybe one can tell us what happened to him." Recovery Girl asked as Toshi looked through it before finding something. "It says here that he heard someone calling for help in the middle of the night. He found this strange being. The detective couldn't see the rest of the memory clearly but he did make out a few sentences." Toshi spoke as Recovery Girl had paid extreme attention for this one.
"'My name is Omega-xis… EM Wave Change, Izuku Midoriya, On the Air.' That was all that was recorded before he was forced out but I think I might know what happened. Whoever Midoriya encountered must have merged with him and they become one. This Omega-xis fused with Midoriya with this EM Wave Change and the boy ended up like this. But why would the boy do that?" Toshi asked.
"Maybe we can ask the boy because he seems to be waking up." Recovery Girl spoke issuing to the screen to notice Midoriya was gaining conscious. The two had entered to see Izuku had sat up and was looking at his new body while his mother was crying in tears of joy since he was okay. "You're All Might and Recovery Girl. Did you take me here?" Izuku asked curiously. "Yes. Are you okay Izuku? Do you feel strange or anything?" All Might asked with a smile on his face. "I'm fine. I'm feeling much better now. I feel more alive." Izuku answered as All Might and Recovery Girl sat down. They noticed the door had locked itself and the cameras had switched off.
"Judging from your wavelengths, you must have read my files about my past and original body. I know you are in here to discuss about what happened to me and Mega. That's why I locked the door and shut off the cameras because what I'm about to say must be kept secret." Izuku stated surprising his mother and the two Pro Heroes. "Okay Izuku, we appreciate your privacy and will keep this secret." All Might spoke as Izuku smiled warmly.
"You probably seen bits of what happened in the park so I'll explain it. In the middle of the night, I heard someone call for help. I snuck out of my house to look for this person and I encountered Omega-xis or Mega for short. He was dying and I was the only who could save him. He told me that he needed to merge with me so he could heal his body. He told me if I undergo an EM Wave Change which is a mergence between an EM Being and Human.
He told what would happen if it failed but I did it anyway not because I did it for my own gain but because he was dying and it was the right thing to do. It was something a hero would do. When we merged, I was able to see his memories. He is an alien known as an AM-ian from the Planet AM. He had fought alongside a human child in the past known as Geo Stelar and become a powerful hero known as Megaman. He left when his friend had passed away and somehow ended up here on the verge of death.
The EM Wave Change was a success but my body somehow merged us completely. I had lost my human form and it will take years before I regain it. He somehow felt my loneliness and pain so he only called out for me knowing he could help me. He wanted...he wanted to give me a chance to become a Hero like you All Might. We spoke while I was unconscious. He showed me his memories and told me that I could experience something that he had.
He...gave me the ability and chance to become a Hero. He's my friend. To prove I'm not worthless. I don't want things to go back to what they were in the past. Please don't take Mega from me!" Izuku answered as he began to cry while his mother comforted him. 'This boy… I never seen someone suffered so much in my entire life. It's 10 years ago all over again.' Recovery Girl thought looking at Toshi who approached Izuku.
The boy then felt someone's thick arms around him. He looked up to All Might was hugging him. It wasn't one of those fake hugs either but the most sincerest one he has ever felt. "It's okay boy. I...understand how you feel. You had made the right choice in saving Omega-xis' life. Forget what everyone has said and done to you because that doesn't matter. Izuku Midoriya, you can become a Hero. Don't let anyone stop you from doing what is right." All Might spoke as Izuku had cried into Toshi/All Might's arms. For once in his life, these tears weren't of sadness but of pure joy.
Izuku could feel a bond forming between him and All Might. '1st Brotherband has been formed. Brotherband All Might has been created.' A voice spoke through Izuku's head as he felt a new power flowing within him while seeing a link of light form between him and All Might before it vanished. 'My first bond…! A Brotherband with All Might!' Izuku thought as he smiled. Izuku then finally calmed down as All Might let go of him but held the boy's hand just in case.
"Izuku, I will do everything in my power to help you become a Hero. Right now, you're display of power has caught the attention of many both good and bad. A lot will seek you out that's why we will prepare for your future to become a hero. Since you are now on Suicide Watch and a possible target for villains, I'll be taking you and your mother in. We'll be dealing with all of your abusers and they won't get away for what they had done to you whether they be teacher, student or a random kid on the street.
We'll offer your mother a better job to support you along with getting you a better education even if I have to homeschool you myself. I am not letting you be harmed like that ever again." All Might explained as Izuku nodded. "I'll have UA back you up and I'll also become your personal doctor. We need to monitor the changes within your new body and make sure you stay healthy. We'll also help work on your new abilities with assistance from Omega-xis. I'm not having a repeat of 10 years ago on my hands." Recovery Girl explained.
"I'll have to warn you Izuku. Your life will never be the same again. Many will target you for your abilities or for Omega-xis but we promise you that we will do everything we can to get you ready for life's challenges in becoming a hero. What do you say Izuku? Are you ready to become a hero?" All Might asked with a smile on his face. Izuku looked around to see everyone's face having a smile on it and even saw Omega-xis smiling at him.
Izuku wasn't more sure in his life. He had made his decision. "Yes. I'm ready to become a hero. And I have just the name too." Izuku spoke getting their attention. "Really and what is the Hero name you have chosen? We would love to know." Inko asked curiously as Izuku spoke. "I'll be the hero with the power of bonds and the star by his side. One that will never back from evil. A symbol of hope to all! I'll be the Starforce Hero Megaman!" A new legend was born.
