I forgot to address this in chapter two. I'm sorry that I skimming the important stuff in the manga and anime. I am trying my best to add much of the original story along with some new content added in. Also, is everyone enjoying this fanfic?
Hero stands in a empty site with his students and partner in learning, Aizawa. He was confused why they stopped here and not at a rest stop. But he liked the view of the forest and take pictures of it while not paying attention to what's happening behind him, he turned around and see the students panicking and running towards the bus, "Hey what's going on?" Then the blond and blue cat theme heroine, Pixie-Bob uses her quirk and sends the students over a cliff along with Hero. Mandalay, the red cat theme heroine looked over and see that the students are alright,
"This is our private territory, you can use your quirk as much as you want! You got three hours to reach the facility on foot! Make it through the Beast's Forest!"
Kaminari freaked out by how freaking huge the forest is, "The Beast's Forest!? That sounds like something out of Dragon's Quest!"
Hero popped out of the dirt, "Hey I love that game" the students are not too thrilled about crossing the forest in three hours,
"UA always do this crazy crap" Jirou complained,
"No use complaining. We move forward, students!" Hero exclaimed pointing his finger at the forest like a sword leading the students into battle. But then Mineta ran into the forest carelessly due waiting so damn long to use the bathroom, he encounter a beast made from the earth. It scared the little grape boy so hard, he wet himself. Koda tried to calm the earth beast down but no avail until Midoriya realized that it's made from Pixie-Bob's quirk after saving Mineta,
"Everyone, this beast are made from Pixie-Bob's quirk!" He yelled,
"Well Midoriya, you think the enemy is going to let you go?" Hero asked, "Show me your answer, students!" That answer was too obvious to answer by words, so they answer in a different and effective way,
"FULL COWLING!" The mini All Might punched the beast as Todoroki freezes and buns it along with Bakugo with his sweating palms and Iida's mach 5 kick, thus destroyed the creature. Just when they thought it was over, more beasts are created! HOLY SHIT! Hero stand up and looks at everyone of the heroes of tomorrow, "So what's it going to be?" He asked with a grin on his face, that bastard. He knows their answer from the get go, the students readied themselves for combat, then one of the students asked Hero,
"Hero, are you joining us?"
"What? And you let you kiddies have all the fun if I stayed back? Hell no!" He smirked and charged in to join the fight. Hero and the kids made various combinations on defeating the beasts, but more keep coming and they fighting and fighting and fighting as they continued their path to the facility for the first 3 hours. Now things have gotten slow for them as they walked slow after all that fighting. Hero was still filled with energy, so he carried Iida since his left leg is being dragged too much,
"Hero, this is unnecessary"
"Nonsense, this is what I enjoy doing, helping others. Now shut up and rest a bit" Soon the rest of students starts groaning in hunger and exhaustion till Hero came up with an idea, "Hey who wants to hear a story?" That caught their attention, some know that Hero has lots of stories to tell, some wanted to hear his stories about his days as a 'pro' hero, while some are just too tired to give a damn. And Zero, he wanted to get out so he won't hear Hero's stories as he heard thousands of times before. Though being dirty and tired, the students are all ears into his story, and Hero began the tale.
The Devil and the Traveller
Long ago there was a man, he lost the world. Everything around him turned into a cold black void and it left a empty feeling in his heart. One day, he sold his will to live to have it all back, but nothing happened. So he sold his freedom to do it again, but nothing happened. Then finally he sold his soul to kill all those who have taken his world. The deal was fulfilled and the man killed his enemies but their blood permanently stained his arms as a reminder of his sins. The sins he committed, the sins he have done just to fill the heart that was once empty. Now he is filled with blood lust and rage and the deal he made, it turned him into The Devil.
One day traveller came and wanders the depths of the underworld city, he met The Devil and ask for directions. The Devil played a trick on the man and made go to his doom, but the traveller found his location. The next day, he asked the Devil to find the sweetest fruit, so the demon tricked him into picked the rottenest of fruit, but the traveller ate the sweetest he ever had and shared some to The Devil. That demon was so confuse in why the man is kind to him and why he is sharing with him when the demon wants to harms him, he believed that the traveller will trick him one day, but he is not a fool. The following day, he ask gave the traveller a gift, it was a nothing. He wants the traveller to get angry but it failed, the man loved his gift of nothingness as he appreciates the thought rather than the gift inside. The Devil was angry and tries to fight him, but the traveller gave him a gift as well.
Thought it was a trap but he hesitantly opens the gift and his eyes met a sweater, confused and somehow sad. He wonder why is he so kind to him? Why doesn't he hate him already? The devil ran away and was gone. Days flew by, weeks pass, and months went, the traveller found the devil dying. He hold him like a brother and tries to keep him alive, but no avail. In his final moments, the demon asked the traveller why he never got angry at him and the traveller replied,
"Because you looked like you need a brother to love you." With that, devil finally cries and held on to his brother, not wanting to let go for awhile. The devil died that night, but lived on in the traveller's heart as if he with him, always.
After the hearing the story, the student have a mixed reactions of pure sadness or enjoyment. One side, just tried to keep their tears from escaping their eyes, the idea of a man who lost everything and became a heartless monster finally have someone he can call family. The side is finding the story entertaining as mean of makes a hero, never to be angry at the enemy but to try to have them open up and eventually changed their life for the better.
Izuku asked Hero, "How did you come up with this story?"
Hero froze and kept silence for a while, "When you wander the lands like I have, you bound to share some stories with others" Then Zero looked at him with glaring disappointment, 'That story is barely true.'
For awhile Hero tries to keep the students from passing out fatigue and exhaustion with songs and stories from his past. It was a long struggle but made it to the faculty where they are greeted by the Pussycats and Aizawa. After a few moments about it takes them less time to get to their place and how surprising that they got here less than expected. Then Pixie-Bob looked at Izuku, Todoroki, Iida, Bakugo, and Hero, "You five, I'm guessing with some experiences, allowed you to made you act without hesitation" She then frisky towards them, "Gonna have fun three years from now! I'm marking them as mine!" The boys were blocking away from her, like a she was a creepy fangirl want more than acknowledgement,
"Oi Mandalay, has she been like this?" Aizawa asked,
"Oh. She is reaching that age to get married"
"Wait? You're that old-" Izuku's face is blocked by a nervous Pixie-Bob, who just reminded that she is not old, but then he jumped to another suggestion,"Hey I have been wondering…." He points to a boy with a hat with two front horns, "That boy. Whose child is he?"
Mandalay answered, "Oh that's my nephew. Kota come over and say hello, you'll be spending the week with them." Izuku was first to greet him as he kneel to his height and say hello,
"Hi. I'm Izuku Midoriya, from UA High School Hero Course. Nice to meetcha." He then get punched in the balls by Kota in anger, Iida came to his aid,
"Midoriya!" He turned to Kota, "You ruthless nephew! Why you did that to Midoriya's scrotum!?"
Kota turned angrily towards them, "I can't abide jerks who want to be heroes." Zero took over Hero's body and shouted at him,
"Abide!? How old are you, punk!? They didn't do shit to you!" He growled like a mad dog at the boy, "They want to be heroes because they want to help others, but punks like you don't fucking get it!" He grabs Kota by the shirt with deep tight grip and his voice grew more demonic, "I oughta rip you limb to limb and eat your soul while yo-" He was then blacked out by Aizawa by a vulcan neck pinch. He collapsed to the ground on his back, letting Kota go. And the boy himself is frighten by the look of his blood red eyes and demon like voice as he met a literal demon. Mandalay comforted him and Aizawa tries to move on the subject and deal with Hero/Zero afterwards,
"Alright, the sideshow is over. Go get your luggage from the bus. Drop your things off in your rooms, then come to dinner in the mess hall. After that, you'll bathe. Then it's bedtime. The real training starts tomorrow. Now hurry up," He then goes to Mandalay to explained about Hero and the other soul that resides him, the information he got from All Might.
About 20 minutes later, Hero woke up in a room on the couch, with some neck pain, "Owww….Zero, you really got to control yourself"
'Well sorry for giving that brat a good talking'
"It wasn't our kid to deal with"
'Whatever, at least he'll think twice about talking shit about the kids'
"Wait. you did it for the kids?" Awwww the grinch's heart three sizes"
'Shut up!' Hero laughed a bit then he met Mandalay, "Oh…" The air grew a bit dry as Hero didn't want to upset the woman, "Look, what you saw. It was-" He was interrupted by her,
"I know. Eraserhead told me about this other soul. I will forgive you if you can answer my question. Why you keep that thing?"
"He's not a thing!" He said angrily, but calmed down quickly, "Wait wait…" he took a deep breath, "I'm sorry but it's rude to say that about someone's brother"
"Brother?"
"Yes. Zero is my brother. He resides in me because he didn't deserve to die. He had a hard life before we met and this is not what he deserve. I gave him a place in my body so he can live." He starting to developed tears, "I already lost my family. And I am not ready to lose another." Mandalay looked at him as like he was Kota back then, he touched his shoulders and hugged him. Trying to make him feel that everything is okay,
"I'm sorry… I shouldn't yelled or lose control when you and your team are giving us your hospitality. " His lips were shut by her hand. He calmed down for a it to listen to Mandalay,
"It's fine. But let me explain about my nephew. Okay?" Hero nods and she let go of his mouth and explained about Kota, how his parents died in the line of duty and left Kota behind. Kota that time was too young to understand and that his parents were the world to him, he grew to dislike heroes as he believe his parents left him behind selfishly. Mandalay is all he has left and she hoped for him to get better.
Hero felt pity for the boy as he already went through that experience long ago, he won't forget the day he found out that his parent died years before he returned home. He never shutdown before but somehow he shuts down on everything he is, his confidence, his bravery, and his heroism was gone in an instant. Hero will not let another fall because of his selfishness, "I understand perfectly, I am sorry again that Zero has cause trouble with you and your nephew"
"It's fine, Hero. Now go eat up, you have busy night tonight" Hero nods and left the room then met Aizawa,
"Eraserhead, sorry for Zero's behavior" Aizawa looked at Hero and pats his back,
"Don't do it again" He said then left to check on the students, which confuses Hero a bit, but he paid no attention to it and head off to get something to eat and to begin his night watch duty.
As the night begins, Hero looks at the blue moon and feels the wind as a warning of the incoming danger that lies ahead. Meanwhile in the city, Taro left the alleyway with blood stained on the brick walls as bodies of police officers piled on the ground, he contacted Kuroguri, "I have the location to where the UA students are"
"Excellent. Now return to base, we'll begin our mission tomorrow"
"Yes sir" He was about to leave but a few heroes caught him with blood stains on his hands,
"Stop villain!" said one of them. Taro turned to them,
"You're under arr-" The other hero has been punched by a single precise punch by Taro, he falls back and tries to her quirk on him but Taro's speed was too much for her as her kicks her to a wall. Her skull on the impact, shattered by the brute strength ad abnormal speed he inflicted upon her. The male hero tries to burn but he was the terminator, immune to his fire and he was grabbed by the throat. The feel of someone's palm pressing against his windpipe is slowly killing him, Taro looked at the man whose eyes are telling begging him to let him go, but under orders. He snapped his neck and threw his lifeless body against the dumpster and left the scene. Only for the late comers to come see the carnage that happened that night.
Okay sorry if this is short and rushed but around August, I'm heading back to college and have so much to do till then. Anyway I hoped you guys like the story and give me feedback.
