I know what you are thinking. Why does it only say the Power of 4 but not showing any game or show title alongside it? Well. Because this prologue is basically one of my big risktakers. The biggest risks in making stories is using multiple fandoms. Sometimes it's worth like major titles such as Kingdom Hearts, Marvel vs Capcom and Super Smash Bros. It could also be a huge flop like Shonen's Jump Force from what many fans complain about it and what I saw for myself.
This is one of my big risks that I hope pays off unlike a few of the ones I tried over just starting writing fanfics. I'll be throwing over thing you know about the 4 stories out the goddamn window so be warned. This is a Vigilante Route. 4 could mean luck or ill omen. Which is it for you, ye' peck necks?
Fate to many is a very cruel mistress for who she condemned to misery and pain. But what few knew was fate was being commanded by something higher, chaos, order and destiny, her older siblings. It used to be just the 4 of them that kept balance. Fate who determined the end of each individual good or bad. Order to keep every event in place. Chaos to disrupt unwelcomed change. Finally there was Destiny who aided those Fate chosen as her champion. Something her siblings, Chaos and Order, hated about their little sister. Yet one day, Destiny vanished and everything soon fell apart for now Chaos and Order took command.
Order didn't care for what he harmed unless getting the design he always wanted. Chaos just wanted to destroy whatever she touched and bring madness. Chaos and Order were never meant to work together without Destiny or Fate to balance them for it would only bring disaster of prophetic proportions.
It was something Fate warned her older siblings but neither listened to her words. Without Destiny, Fate had no power to stop her older siblings. They chained her up and stole the power to alternate paths of others. Heavenly beings who were supposed to bring balance had now become gods of devastation. Fate could only weep seeing the altered paths of those she once guided. The innocent becoming prey or villainized and the guilty took their spot in the light.
A prince promised happiness and prosperity now become a twisted specter of sorrow and madness, a place of children's dreams now a never ending nightmare, a knight betrayed by his king forever cursed as a beast and a warrior who once knew only hatred to be robbed of his chance at happiness. The only way Fate could stop her older siblings was through a champion she chose. However the lost of her powers wouldn't grant her champion enough power to even match Chaos and Order's champions.
Then hope came in a memory. There existed a power strong enough to topple gods and demon lords. When the aspects of Wisdom, Power, Life and Courage unite with a soul of opposite to their hearts, it created an item known as the Fourth Emblem which symbolizes luck to it's wielders and a grave omen for their foes. She knew of one world who still held a bright soul her siblings had yet to finish writing their fate!
Fate then looked for 4 beings who her siblings cursed into terrible fates, ones whose aspects are what she sought. A specter of twisted wisdom, a devil of corrupted life, a beast of dark courage and a monster of cursed power. "If you hear my words, then please listen to my pleas. There is a child who needs your help. Your fates were never supposed to be written for disaster. Order and Chaos had twisted my power and is wreaking further havoc as we speak. I know I can't change what you have become but please...stop this madness once and for all!" Fate cried as 4 spheres of dark light shot forth from their homes into a new world.
He had to keep running! A boy with green and black mossy hair around the age of 7 was running with streams of tears pouring from his eyes. His name was Izuku Midoriya and this had to be the worst day of his life. Ever since he was born, Izuku didn't know true happiness. His parents loved him and he had a friend but everything around him felt absolutely wrong for a strange reason.
He lived in an age of heroes and where powers called Quirks were normal in life. He was born without one but part of him felt relieved despite that fact and he didn't know why. He didn't know why when he looked at his parents or sister, he only saw black shadows. Or when he looked at heroes but only saw terrifying monsters instead of caped protectors. Yet when he saw a large chunk of villains amongst the mass, they had white auras like something you see belonging to angels.
His best friend Katsuki held the worst one for when Izuku saw his ash blonde childhood friend, he only saw a manifestation of gruesome death. He never understood why he saw these visions. Maybe they were his quirk? But why would his quirk perceive his family and his friends as dangers and monsters? He wanted to know so he told his strange visions to his mother. Now he realized that whatever this power was, it marked them for a good reason.
His mother had suddenly flipped and his world became consumed into a void of twisted blacks and haunting whites as for his mother… She had transformed into a monster in front of his eyes. A giant ghoul with green fiendish eyes all over her stitched, bolted and chimeric with pieces ranging from human to animal, exposed brain and heart, teeth too vast and different too belong to a single animal or creature and green aura that crushed everything smaller than her.
It was like she became a living piece of chaos and it terrified Izuku. "Come back my sweet little Izuku! Mommy only wants to devour you, my tiny Fate child!" It cackled with a voice surely a pure cacophony of people screaming. "You aren't my mommy! You are just a monster! Please somebody, anybody help me!" The child cried for he felt like the string that held his life was ready to snap.
He tripped falling to the floor and could only stare death in the face as the monster that wore his mother's skin was about to take a bite out of him. Yet it never came when something big red and black stood in front of him grabbing the jaws of the monster. He looked with teary eyes at what saved him. It was a giant muscular red skin demon covered in black fur from his wrists, chest, mane, tail and waist down, black dragon like wings, bat wing shaped ears, large claws, razor sharp fangs and glowing yellow eyes crackling with wicked malice.
"So your one of the pups that bitch Chaos owns! I'll enjoy tearing you to shreds! Tell your master, Amon is coming for her!" The red demon dubbed Amon howled tossing the beast away with a brutal swing. "As much as I love good carnage, the kid is first priority." Spoke a distorted male voice wreaking with wicked mischief as something long and purple shot from Izuku's shadow.
It looked like a big and long dark purple noodle like shadow ghost with thin arms, mane of dark violet hair that pointed up at the tips, a face with glowing yellow eyes and mouth that belonged to a child's jack o' lantern. "Heya kiddo! I am the Snatcher! My associates and I will be looking after you from now on, beansprout!" The ghost that called itself Snatcher laughed. "Associates? That big guy works with you? And who's your boss? Associates is a term often used by an employer to call his personal assistants." Izuku explained as Snatcher smile grew larger.
"My! You are a very smart child! Ever thought of getting a degree in Law? I can see the type of beautiful contracts you could craft if you refine that knowledge." Snatcher chuckled. A shriek from the monster grabbed their attention as Izuku saw what looked like chains made of ink ooze from a peculiar creature too small for the amount of ink coming from it. It looked like a malformed cartoon devil from the 20s completely covered in black ink other than the parts that were supposed to be white like the gloves hand, tie and giant jittery grin being a dirt yellow, two horns constantly dripping with too much ink and a limp amongst the almost human body.
"As much as I love wreaking havoc, I hate freaks like you who dare work alongside Order! Chaos should stay chaos and order should keep to itself!" The twisted Devil laughed as the chains squashed the monster's exposed brain. "That devilish darling is Bendy. Like me, his life got messed up by a bunch of stupid peck necks literally. That monster who pretended to be your mum belongs to one of them pecks." Snatcher spoke as Izuku's eyes widened.
"That thing...how long was it impersonating my mother?" Izuku asked as Snatcher frowned. "The moment you turned 4 was the day your mother died. That beast's master had her killed and that mimic take her place. 4 years to nail down your mother's personality and to break your spirit, little shit." Spoke a gruff male voice as a bolt of blue lightning shot down into the beast stopping the exposed heart from beating but the monster was still alive.
A giant bulky beast that looked like an orange tiger man with black stripes, long mane of reddish orange hair, a tail, black fierce markings on his face, razor sharp teeth, long claws and reddish tint white eyes with no pupils landed next to Izuku. "Tora." Izuku spoke as his eyes widened. 'How did I know his name?' The child thought. "Fate was right. You are the reincarnation of Ushio after all. Only Ushio knows the very name he called me after our first battle." Tora chuckled with a grin that despite the teeth was brimming completely with pure genuine happiness.
"Listen well kiddo. Your world was never supposed to turn out like this with Quirks or this false age of heroes. Two corrupt gods had twisted the natural balance of souls into something it was never designed for. Chaos and Order stole the power from Fate and with it had ruined our lives and billions of others. Your vision is a gift from the Goddess of Fate herself to tell the innocent from the pawns. You are the only one capable of thwarting those peck necks' plans. She sent us to protect you and train you to be her champion." Snatcher explained.
"All of us are strong but we can't slay any of these bastards without an ounce of Fate's power. For that to happen, you must accept by your own will to become her Champion." Amon spoke slashing away the mimic that rammed at him. "However if you do, then you'll forever have a target on your back. Those who are pawns of Chaos and Order will hunt you down. Neverending attacks from horrors on both sides!" Bendy garbled.
"Or you can send us back to our personal hells and just die. Your choice to make, boy. Would you lie down and die like a dog? Or will you bite back like the soul you once were?!" Tora questioned as it felt like Izuku's world was spinning. He remembered everything that happened to him and what he once treasured as gold. He saw it all fade away replacing the fake nostalgia with the awful truth. He gritted his teeth and bared fangs.
"I accept!!! I WON'T LIVE A LIE ANYMORE!!!" The child screamed with all his might. "Very well kiddo! Our power is yours and we now are now bound to help you. As before, I am Snatcher, I shall be your enforcer bound by Twisted Wisdom." Snatcher spoke as a blue aura shined on him. "I am Amon! The beast of Cursed Power that destroys our enemies!" Amon howled as a red aura loomed over him.
"My name is Bendy! An Ink Demon who shall be your eternal Corrupted Life! Ahahaha!!" Bendy laughed as a green aura shone from him. "And I am Tora. The monster who'll be your Dark Courage within the evil light." Tora spoke as a yellow light radiated from him. "Uh oh." The fake Inko spoke realizing it's end as Izuku glared daggers at the mimic. "Get out of my face you, Imposter!! I'll never let anymore lies hold me down! Even if the world stands against me...I will still stand proud!!" Izuku cried as a white aura shined from him.
A cross bearing 4 orbs each containing a color from the four connected by white suddenly emerged snaring the mimic and from that cross 4 blades of light sliced the beast apart. The mimic let out a death cry before turning to dust vanishing with the very seal that killed it. "You just witnessed a sample of the Fourth Emblem's power, kiddo. The emblem feeds on creations made from Chaos and Order specifically those who hold fragments of Fate's power.
A lot of these monsters no doubt has taken forms you are familiar with. Family, friends and even your heroes could be ones you must slay. But don't worry, we aren't abandoning you. We'll be teaching you all sorts of abilities and tricks we have in our own unique arsenal. Our lives were already hell, we won't let those peck necks ruin yours either. So what you say kiddo?" Snatcher explained. "Ready to raise some hell?" The other 3 questioned.
It didn't take long for Izuku to smile and a bright determined look to shine in his eyes. "You bet." Two words that was the beginning an adventure like no other. Battle between a group of misfits and two gods. Who will win? It's up to them to decide their fate.
