Thanks for following my story, so the purpose of the fanfic is more on brainstorming ideas or concepts, using inspiration from other sources of fiction; however I haven't liked the idea of characters living the same way of another character, I wanted to try different ways of the characters acted.
Inspiration: N/A
Eldrozul hovers the students and the teaching staff as the instructed them to go on their respective seats.
Midoriya, Uraraka, Iida, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu are on the front row.
Bakugo, Kirishima, Ashido, Kaminari, Sero are the second row.
Tokoyami, Asui, Hagakure, Ojiro, Jiro are the third row.
Sato, Koda, Shoji, Aoyama, and Mineta is the final row.
The teaching staff are on the side of the theater, each has their own seat and balcony to observe the row of students. However, one student was absent from the theater, Kamanari raised his hand "Uh, where's Mineta?"
"Well~" Eldrozul slyly looked at the door to the hallway, where Mineta was strapped into a pod machine with several tubes and cables surround it. His face was covered with a filter mask as his mouth was drooling over for what he was seeing from the machine. He was in his personal heaven, surrounded by many girls of his wildest dreams as he was chasing after them as they were playing around along with him.
"Taken care of, now that's out of the way, we could start the show on the road!" He slammed the device from the side of his chair, excited to show the worlds he'd collected in his free time. His chair has a projector lens at the bottom and the sides had a cup holder and a device that allows him to project the worlds he can observe from the spherical artifacts.
A young boy with an eye patch was walked towards an isolated chamber, nervous but calmed as the man whom the boy with, instructed him to do.
"Remember, you don't have to beat it, rather acknowledge it, make it aware of itself, okay my boy?" A skinny man looked at him, worried about his wellbeing.
"Hey, it's all might, I wonder who's he talking to?" Uraraka asked she placed her finger on her chin.
"Probably Midoriya, he's always with All Might, right?" Iida said, his hands were moving in a chopping motion.
"I think so, but he has an eye patch, why is he wearing it for, was Deku injured?" Uraraka said, worried about her best friend/crush.
"It's alright, I haven't used this quirk in a long time, let alone used it on myself. It's the first time in everything right?" The young man replied to him as he walked towards the chamber, alone and smiling, assuring the man that he's going to be alright.
"A quirk he hasn't used in a long time?" The students of the 1st row were perplexed by that notion, a quirk that hasn't been used for a while.
"Maybe the quirk is dangerous to the user?" Uraraka said, knowing the downsides of a quirk has some terrible effects as covered her stomach, trying to not think about it.
"He said that he hasn't been able to use it that much let alone himself for that matter, how about you, Midoriya?" Todoroki asked his friend, only for the green haired kid in question, starting to the screen as he was drawn by his counterpart's quirk, something he hasn't used.
He closed the door as he sat down at the center, surrounded by mirrors. He sat there, mumbling to himself as his hands grasp the edge of his chair, he stood up hastily and took the eye patch off and activates his quirk, his left eye is pitch black.
"Huh, the abyss in one's soul" Tokoyami muttered out loud.
"I wonder what his quirk would be like, the way he activates, it was similar to Eraser" Midnight observed as the rest of the staff agreed on that similarities.
Eraser looks at the boy on screen, intrigued by the nature of the quirk itself.
As he activates his quirk, viridian flames engulfed the chamber as the same eye becomes blue-green, his quirk is inactive. The flame roared, a figure slowly appears right in front of the boy, in the mirror, the figure cracked a wicked grin.
Eraser's eyes widen as the image suddenly comes to life and interacting with his student "The shadow comes to life"
"Huh?! What does a measly shadow could do!? " Bakugo exclaimed as miniature explosions from his hands.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think Midoriya could control these apparitions of darkness nor he could command to his will" Tokoyami respond to Bakugo's question as dark shadow pops out and looks at the screen.
Eraser looked closer, he couldn't tell if the show was malicious or benevolent to the target, but in this case, people aren't completely immune to their own quirks.
"So, you've finally got to call me out?" The figure asked as it slowly walked towards the boy and it appears in front of him, two figures in the chamber, on closer inspection, the shadow became familiar to the boy, rather an identical image of the boy. Although it's just a shadowy figure, he formed a fighting stance.
The rest of the students were intrigued by the fact that this Midoriya has a vague understanding of how his quirk works or does he? They all ponder why he doesn't want to use it.
"Ha! Even his own shadow knows how worthless Deku is, let alone fight on his own." Bakugo smirked sadistically as he looked at the screen with anticipation of Deku getting beat up.
The rest of the 2nd row, deadpan towards the blonde as they're hoping that Midoriya could put a good fight.
"You can do it, Deku!" Uraraka cheers for her friend for support.
"Calm down, Uraraka. We don't know when this happened, let alone what's going on." Iida said as he does his odd gestures, again.
"I've been watching you, you only completed the physical aspect of your training, but you've been avoiding the fight that you're meant to face." The shadow smirked as reach out to the boy's hand. "Well then, shall we commenced the final part of your training, Midoriya?"
The former and current bearer of One of All had their eyes widen as they know that this is before Entrance Exam for UA. All Might suspect that Young Midoriya completed the transfer of the quirk, but he continued to think that he hasn't known to properly use his own quirk, or does he?
"Is it me or the shadow knew Midoriya personally?" Hagakure said, looking at the two boys surrounded in a chamber of flames.
"This looks so badass! So manly! " Kirishima exclaimed as they're witnessing a cage fight
"I hope Midoriya is going to be okay in there, those flames could seriously hurt him," Ashido said, concerned about his classmates' well-being.
"I'm sure he could handle the heat, right?" Sero asked, trying to make light of the situation.
Midoriya respond back "I wouldn't have it any other way!" He prepares to fight his doppelganger.
"That's the spirit, Midoriya!" Kirishima proudly cheers him on as he flexes his right arm, activates his quirk.
"Show him who's boss!" Uraraka stood up as she raised her fist up to showing her enthusiasm
"Yeah!" The rest of the students and Mic cheered Midoriya on while latter blushed in embarrassment, albeit indirectly since they're cheering the other Midoriya but he's still him nonetheless.
Eldrozul otherwise is enjoying the reaction, smiling all the way through.
He woke up from the tremors, snapping Midoriya out of his trance as he was surrounded by scraps of robotic parts, all scorched from the searing heat. As he rushed towards the source of the rumbling quakes.
The students were disappointed that they previously witnessed was just a flashback, especially the 2nd row, specifically Kirishima and Bakugo, mostly Bakugo.
"Damn it, was that just a fuckin' tease?!" Bakugo was going about to beat someone in the theater room.
"Calm down, Bakugo. I was disappointed as you do, but it's nothing to beat someone up for it, especially Midoriya." He looked at Midoriya, who is looking at the screen intensely.
The rest of the students are amazed at how much bots that the class cinnamon roll just destroyed.
"Wow, look all of those bots," Jiro said as the scenery with Midoriya in looks like a good album cover.
"He does look kinda terrifying in that scenery, ribbit" Tsuyu said bluntly as she placed her finger close to her chin.
"It looks like he's participating the entrance exams, the way he destroyed those robots looks like a villain scene" Power Loader observed as he smirked, noticing the Zero Pointer.
A robot, the size of a skyscraper, terrorized the participating students as they're fleeing for their lives, the fear of death is strong in them as he could see it in their hearts. He couldn't bear it.
The students shudder at the zero pointer, carrying some baggage that goes along with it.
He ran towards the robot, not caring for his own life, as he remembered something that his shadow once told him about before he became a part of him.
"Deku, be careful!" Uraraka said before she remembered that this is the moment where she was saved by him, she hugs around Midoriya's arm, shaking as he reassured her that she'll be okay.
"A part of him?" Tokoyami wonder by that piece of information. He thought of that when he heard the voice of Midoriya again, only for the voice to eerily echo deep, the shadow is monologing to Midoriya in his head.
"A good hero is measured by carrying out the goodwill for others." The voice of his shadow echoed through his mind and his soul, resonates with his spirit, he looked at the young brown haired girl, her leg was buried under robotic parts as the giant robot is closing in on her.
The pros agreed with the shadow, a good hero would always carry out justice and the desire to help others who can't defend themselves.
The students were praying for Uraraka to be okay, Iida only bows his head in shame, remembering that he couldn't do anything about it and runs out of danger, just like everyone else.
As it took reached to a final step, it suddenly goes to a halt, pushed back by an unknown force, she hesitated to look back as someone engulfs in flames drilled onto its chest and burst through it, the flame figure zoomed back to the robot, smashes into bits, blazing fast.
"Yeah! Smash that robot to bits, Man/Deku!" Cheers from the 2nd row, seeing how the robot was smashed into smithereens.
The students cheer as well, enjoying the sheer spectacle of the fight, scratch that, it's not a fight, it's an onslaught.
The pros, on the other hand, were amazed by the sheer force that Midoriya has done, especially All Might, whom he'd witness such power, he thought it's from the usage of One for All, he's partially correct.
"A great hero is measured by not just overcoming the darkness of oneself but for others from within as well." The robot came crashing down as she witnessed something mythical about her savior.
The student enthusiasm quiet down a bit to ponder themselves, what makes a great hero? Is it comes from power, skill, experience or something else that neither of the things mentioned couldn't be obtained but to understood what it meant by.
Tokoyami thought hard about it, he thoughtfully thinks what's going on with the nature of Midoriya's quirk, when that quote popped up, something sparked inside from the back of the mind. "Shadow, Darkness within oneself and others. The shadow psyche"
Shoji noticed the raven head " Did you thought about something?" He didn't get a response as the boy had a lot of things to process.
Uraraka was waiting in anticipation, wanting to know what Deku looks like now. She got her answer and it forever burned in her mind.
As he crouch down, slouches on top of scorching scraps of metal, wings were coated with flames, they appear to be feathered as it leaves a trail of feathers but burns up as it dissipates into the air. His arms were coated with a volcanic surge of energy which stretches out in a cracked vein-like pattern. The soles of his feet were on fire as he slowly turned around and look back at her. His hair and eyes were green but his left side was covered in a viridian color flames as well with a crooked horn sprout on his left forehead.
The students, for the lack of a better term, astonished how Midoriya looked. He looked like he has fallen from heaven and cast down upon the world.
Momo looked at him on the screen, a fallen angel desecrate the inventions of a man like mere toys, Jiro thought that was someone else but it's Midoriya who saved Uraraka, but he couldn't help but feel gravitate towards him, Ashido saw another horn buddy but felt something off about him, something melancholic.
The boys except for Bakugo, however, looked at Midoriya badass and cool. Although, Shoji, Todoroki and especially Tokoyami, vividly saw a vague image of something dark about it.
"If you could guide them not through the darkness by allowing themselves to not fear it, but to use it to cloud distractions and illuminate the truth," Midoriya smiles at her, he glides up close, removed the rubble and reach his hand out
Uraraka smiles back at him on the screen, she thought of him as an angel instead.
Midoriya is writing everything down on his notebook, listing down what are the implications of the quirk and other usages, was the alt. Midoriya's quirk is emitter or transformation, he couldn't know for sure. But he kept his notebook down on the table for future use.
"And that my friend, is what secrets are for, to protect you from the harsh light called truth, darkness shrouds you and use it as your armor." The girl grabbed his hand and he introduced himself "My name is Izuku Midoriya and your name is?"
She was amazed by saving her life, she thanked him with a light head bow. "The name is Ochako Uraraka, nice to meet you, Midoriya!" She replied to him, smiling at him while shaking his hand.
They all smiled at that moment, their first interaction together, especially the way they were acting. Ashido looks at Uraraka with a mischievous grin on her face as she tries to nudge her shoulder a bit, Uraraka doesn't notice the blush on her face before shaking out of her trance and tries to hide her face in embarrassment, for her to activate her quirk on herself, slowly floating away, only for sero to anchor her down a little.
The pros, on the other hand, were contemplating at what the shadow in Midoriya's head meant by something, that until Tokoyami stood up, making a ruckus for which the rest of the students looked at him.
"Yo, Tokoyami what up?" Kamanari asked, only to be quickly responded with a question.
"Eldr, Can I talk to you about what we just saw?" The bird head asked.
"Go right ahead, tell me what you thought about it!" Eldrozul smiles happily
