"Hey kid, you alright?" In front of the 4-year-old Izuku Midoriya was a tall man, he couldn't make out his details but the voice sound so familiar, but yet alien. He got up and thank the man for saving him from his tormentor, Katsuki Bakugo and his lackeys. The green hair preschooler was also met with thanks by another boy his age for defending him from Bakugo, it made kid's day. The man offered Midoriya a ride back to his home, when he accepted the offer, the man picked him up in a fatherly way and run across town to the home the young boy resides.
Mightless wake up from his small nap and rubbed his eyes in frustration, 'The same dream again. Why am I suddenly getting these same dreams again? Are they memories of my broken childhood?' he puts on his outfit and mask then meet up with Taro,
"H-Hello, Mightless" He said with anxiety,
"Taro, don't be afraid to speak. I won't harm you, you are my friend" the villain affirmed, "Ready for the mission?"
"Y-Yes...But why do we have to do it?"
"Because we are going to need an army to form the attack. We are already making the media know about our actions. That was just a warning, the next one will strike fear into the heroes' and students' minds." The two villains walked to their location, an abandoned building, empty and dusty with hooks hanging from the ceiling of the building. Mightless bites into his wrist and bled out his black demonic blood, then it soon formed into a little gremlin like creature at half of Mightless' size. Taro chest winces at the sight of blood and self harm,
"Is this really necessary?" He asked, he twitches a bit trying to take in what he saw contrasting his earlier missions,
"Hey, why are you reacting badly to blood when you done some bloody messy jobs for the League?"
"I-I-I try not to show weakness when I am on missions like those but soon after I will began to throw up and cry a little"
"Geez, you're such a crybaby"
"Sorry…" He looked down in shame, Mightless sighed a bit and placed his hand on Taro's shoulder,
"It's okay, I used to be like you. But now the old me killed himself and this me have taken over" He took five to seven steps away from him and pierced the hooks into his wrists and have his arms hanging up as he wants to be tortured to death, "Fright Night told me some spells….Beat the living fuck out of me and my blood will create an unstoppable army!" He yelled.
Taro was hesitant at first but he gotta be strong and try to kill his weaker self, he made his tight fist and punches his friend hard enough for him to bleed at the mouth, "I'm sorry!" he exclaimed in tears and continued punching him at various parts of the demon villain's body.
Minute by minute, Mightless was draining every ounce of his blood, he mumble some latin to recover his lost blood and heal his body to prevent permanent damage. His blood still look fresh on the ground, the fluid have kept its moisture from the dripping blood from the bleeding villain. Enduring the pain he is given, he started to remember how he ended up in this universe, the memories started to bloom in his pain inflicting mind.
Two weeks ago….
The fallen villain stood in front of the heroes and former members of the League on his knees. Everything he had planned. Ruined. To make the world a better place by purging quirks from the world by betraying everyone that cared about him and killing someone that considered him as her hero. Todoroki, the inheritor of One for All, offer his hand to the defeated boy,
"Mightless...No Izuku Midoriya, please take my hand"
"Why?"
"Someone once told me that no hero was there for you. But I won't abandoned you, let me be that hero for you" He smiled softly at him, hoping for the villain to change his ways for good, "I promised to be that friend you never had, I promised to never leave you to die, I promise to be your hero." Mightless looked up to him, thinking that there are no options left for him, he was willing to surrender. But suddenly he felt time have stopped for a moment and saw the demon that will help him make his ideals a reality, Fright Night,
"So is this how the great Mightless fall? Give up his ideals for a better world to a bunch of hypocrites that will soon go back on their words? I refuse to believe it"
"Who are you?" He asked, his eyes widen at the sight of the man,
"I am Fright Night. I am from an alternate universe where you are a hero, where if All Might didn't give up on you like a pathetic man he is now" He showed the version of Izuku as a hero, with events from the past, present, and future that his counterpart will become the greatest hero. Mightless grew anger inside himself and want to end his misery, that he did not get the happy ending that he always wanted, but his counterpart is living the life that he longed for a long time ago. All he could do is scream in anger and frustration as he watched in envy, over the life the life that was supposed to be his, the gentleman theme demon placed his claws on Mightless' shoulder, "I could take you there and make things right for you. Make you the true savior of that world, only if you joined me" His mask grew a wider smiled as he is certain that Mightless will take his offer,
"I will join…" He looked at Fright Night through his emerald eyes, "If only if I get the chance to rid that world of its false gods" Fright Night smiled in a more twisted way as he heard music in his ears,
"Very well" He shaked his hand and his claws sink into his wrist and thick black ooze fused with his blood, "I will give power unimaginable to these unfaithful bastards!" He laugh sinisterly as Mightless screams from the transfusion as his blood become black, same as he once had but it felt more stronger and less human than what he used to have. Mightless started to rejoice over the birth of a new devil, "Rejoice! A new devil have been reborn! Behold Mightless! The Titian!" He shouted proudly, "Now to break in these new powers, kill them. End this cycle of One for All and All for One" His voice change into a seductive tone, enough to convince the villain.
Time resumed and MIghtless formed claws and stabbed Todoroki in the chest, "What do you know about being a hero?" He spoke in a harsh voice, and his former classmates grew stunned by the sight of him killing him, "The cycle ends here…" His claws went deep into Todorki's heart, killing him instantly as he removed his bloody claws from his chest. All Might and All for One started to fight him and the others joined in, but were stopped by Fright Night's magic. The two men tried to land a punch on him but he kept evading them, All for One uses what left of his power to damaged him, but the powered up teen have hit the killing blow to the man with punch into his respiratory system, the only thing that keeping him alive. All for One grabbed his chest, struggling to breath from his already damaged lungs, but it's futile he breath his final breath of air and fall to the ground. All Might shouted in anger as his former enemy have died easily and looked at Mightless with anger, he charged towards him and lands his fist into his smug as fuck face, "Mightless!" the villain grabbed him by the neck and grinned so wide,
"You were right the whole time, I could never be a hero. No matter what good I bring, others will always demonize me as the scum of the earth" He held his neck in a tight grip, choking him,
"Midoriya….I am...sorry…"
"Sorry? No need, you created the true monster that world have ever seen!"
The students, teachers, remaining pro heroes, and former members of the League watch Mightless choking the former symbol of peace, they want to shout and plead to him to not kill him but their voices were silent, they never reached his ears. They cried out for All Might, but no avail to their hushed cries. At a moment of a blink, Mightless snapped his neck. Everyone scream in terror at the sight of the death of their teacher, friend, and ally. The killer dropped his body like a doll and walked away, "Let's go, Fright Night. I am done here for good. No more All for One and no more One for All"
"Yes. Let's leave this world for good." He opened a portal to another universe and left with Mightless, never to heard from again.
Present
The memories were clear and started to regain conscious while standing a large pool of his own blood. Taro released him from the chains and let him regenerate his wounds and blood. His friend kept speaking in latin and soon some hebrew language, something was taught from Fright Night. Then the blood started to curdle and formed small humanoid creatures, five pounds worth of blood formed a warehouse full of them. Mightless grew hungry suddenly, but his hunger drives him to another food source. Human flesh,
"Taro, call a fake cry for help...we...need to test this out" He said with signs of hunger,
"O-Okay" He ran outside and started yelling around that his friend was attacked by a villain and needed a pro hero to help them, he screamed for half an hour til a group of three pro heroes came to his aid. He lead them to the warehouse and showed them Mightless, pretending to be injured as he still have open wounds and bruises from the pain blood he had to spill. The group ran to him,
"Are you okay?" one of them asked,
"We'll get some help" Then they hear Mightless laugh like a madman and grabbed one of them,
"You already did!" A army of his blood creatures jumped down and start to attack them, they try to fight back but they are overwhelmed by the number of them and none of their quirks consisting of fire, psychonic, and metalizing have any effect on them. MIghtless laugh at their useless effort in fighting back, he knows they will never win against his army, his grin grew into a cheshire smile as he watch the 'fake' heroes began to be killed by the creatures. Each being sliced, diced and chopped to death until Mightless told his minions to back off as he walked to the pile of flesh and began to feast on the pile. He enjoyed that his hunger is calmed as he kept eating human remains while his comrade watches in horror; seeing his friend becoming cannibalistic.
Mightless was finished with his meal and wipe the blood off of his face, he pulled out his phone and called Fright NIght, "Boss, the task is complete"
"Excellent, begin your attack. End those brats before Red Mask shows up"
"Yes sir"
"I also sense you had a snack after you lost great amount of blood"
"Yes, what just happened to me?"
"It is the side effects kicking in, some who become devils will gained some weak spot if the user over or under use his/her powers. Some will have trauma revived in their mind, some get hunger for a specific source, some will die. Now be careful, don't want to end up eating your kind now, will we?'
"No, sir. I will be careful"
"Good. " He hung up.
Mightless walks past Taro, "I hope you're ready. The time is now" He stopped and turn around, "And sorry that you had to see that. I did not intend for you to see me like that"
"It's okay, it's something that I don't understand. I will not hold that against you" Mightless smiled a bit,
"Atta boy." The two villains march with their army, heading to their targeted location.
Meanwhile
At Gran Torino's home, Hero is waiting in living room, looking through a box of things belonging to his mother and father. He soon found his old baby blanket, a blue Lakota star quilt. He remembered having Native American ancestors, he guessed that it was a gift from relatives he never met. He also found a toy cowboy pistol and a old sheriff's badge, belonging to his great great great grandfather from the wild west, guess dad must have kept it for luck. He dig through the box and found a dragon hair clip, possibly belongs to his mother and soon he found her cape and gloves along with his father's damaged hat. His eyes watered when seeing those two in the same box, the parents he knew get to know. The people who gave their life to protect him from harm. His heart ached as his hand clenched to the cape and hat as he wished to meet them. Gran Torino came to his side and placed his hand onto his shoulder,
"Your parents would be proud how you turned out, Akano" he said then gave him a folder, "This has your birth certificate and everything you need as a citizen in this world" The alien holds on to everything, the life he never knew, his parents, and his will to stay strong. As he was at his home, he tries to carry the world over his shoulder but sometimes it is too much for him to handle. The old man rubbed his hair like a grandfather, he remember him as a little tyke. Always such a crybaby and sometimes a tough kid, like the time he manage to flip a table like it was nothing. "How did a baby can do that!?" He wondered and the times Kane and Nana always centered their time around their son, neglecting their hero duties and friends. Their son was a combination of them and their world. They would gave it all up to him. And they did.
The sad hero began to speak, "Thank you, uncle. You and All Might are the only ones who have memories of them. I want to know everything about them. Especially my mother, since my father can be easily search through the archives that lineage provided in my memories. They won't have any for my mother"
"Of course kiddo" then something jogged into his mind, 'Wait...I remember Kane talking about how his memories and powers are connected to those before him. But I wonder if Akano…' he looked at the man who is looking at an old photo album, 'Does he inherited One for All from Shimura!?' He sat down on to his chair, "Kid…" He got his attention, "Did you ever been told about Toshinori's quirk?" He asked,
"No. I know about it can transferable because I analyze Midoriya. What is this quirk?" The old man sighed and gave the man an honest answer, he gave him the history about One for All and that his mother was the seventh user and passed her quirk to All Might, who then passed it down to Izuku, "...Since you are her son, you could have inherited his quirk too. But this is a theory and sound so crazy. There is a possibility that you have it or not"
"I remember that unlike my ancestors, I could give powers to others. I was the only one who can do it, it is possible, like you said, the first user had a transferable quirk and enhanced strength was a bonus and become part of it"
"It could be that your powers from your father have combined with your mother's quirk, creating Legacy"
"Legacy, a thing handed down by a predecessor. One for All, one quirk for multiple people….My quirk is Legacy for All!" He thought that for awhile then changed his mind, "No...how about One for All-Legacy"
"Sounds better than that first idea" They both share a laugh, then Hero carried the box, "Come by tomorrow and I'll tell you more about your mother" the young man gave him the thumbs and and leave the house with a goodbye. The old hero watched him leave and wonder what future will have, especially now there are two One for All inheritors. Among the crowd of people he see, he see blur going past by them.
A mysterious man in ash colored knight like armor with a bucket like helmet running through the crowd of people, looking for someone. Someone he knows, someone who needs to know, 'Dammit Bud, one experiment gone wrong and now I am running through a haystack looking for a needle' before he could continue his run, he see a bank robbery going on. A few crooks stealing bundles of cash running out of the bank, one has a freezing quirk and the other with a slow mo quirk, the slow crook uses his quirk to slow the pro heroes down so they can't reach them in time or at all because the freezing quirk user have freeze their feet, so they can't go anywhere. The perfect crime duo! The speedster runs to them and blocked their path,
"Hey it's Captain Cold and The Tortoise. Together to go to jail together"
"Wait. How did you know our villain names" Captain Cold asked,
"I didn't" the speedster said in deadpanned voice,
"Well whatever! You're going down, punk!" Tortoise yelled, then attempted to slow him down, but the hero dodged it,
"Man. You must have bad eyesight" he laughed then keeps dodging for each attempt the slow theme villain is throwing,
"Don't worry, buddy! I'll help you!" He throws his icy powers at the speedy hero, but same as his partner, he is failing,
"You two can stop a bunch of amateurs, but not the fastest man alive!" He taunted, he sneaky got behind Tortoise, "Hey Cold, are you really cold or just lukewarm!" He yelled,
"Why you little!" He blasted his ice at him, but the hero dodged and freezes his partner instead, "Oh shit…" then his mouth is met with a fist ala Mr.T style,
"Boom goes the dynamite!" He yelled, and quickly grabs some rope and tied him up to his friend, "That's how you take them down in style" then kids and fangirls run to him, all in awe by the debut of the speedster,
"So cool!" one of the grade schoolers said,
"That armor is so cool!"
"Is he one of Ingenium's sidekicks?" one of the girls wondered,
"Probably. Look how he runs!"
The hero calms the group down, "Easy, easy, easy! I am the fastest man alive, Mach Knight!" the crowd goes wild, "Now does anyone know where I can find a man named Red Mask?"
The group all talked at once which had no real answer to where he can find him until he heard an explosion nearby. He looked over and see smoke coming from a stadium like building, one of the people said that a bunch of school students are there and it's possibly a terrorist attack. Mach Knight quickly runs to the scene to see what's going on.
5 minutes ago….
The devil hero is carrying two bystanders, a old man and a little girl, both of them are employees of H.U.C, a organization specializing in rescue training. So far he is performing well with his actions and choice of words like he have done this before. He does whatever it takes to make sure they are safe and taken to help nearby, as soon as he taken them to the standby medics. He told them their conditions and leave the rest to the professionals. He heard an explosion and runs to it, but his senses tells him that they are a few more individuals, he rushed to where the bystanders are, quickly and carefully rescuing them and taking them to medic, the individuals thanked for his efforts and his quick thinking. Zero then ran, having no time for praise since there is danger near.
Zero ran and ran towards the source of danger. He started to grin, filled with excitement as he was waiting for this moment to go all out and beat the shit out of 'villain'. But as soon as he made it, he only see two idiots fighting each other than the villain, he knows one of them, Shoto Todoroki. Zero had a very unamused expression on his face, seeing one of top students is acting like a child with some asshole with a windy quirk. The demon hero try to intervene but things started to escalate with a fiery wind almost hitting a paralyzed student, luckily, Izuku was there and pulled him out of the way. Both Izuku and Zero were rightfully pissed off and yelled together, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?"
Before anything could happen, a gaping hole was made on the stadium and out came an army of black blooded gremlins. Zero eyes started to widen as he knows what these creatures are, "Bloodies!? What are they doing here!?" then came out a darker version of Izuku, Mightless, but now in a black armored version of his costume, the One for All inheritor eyes bulged as he see a mirrored version of himself
"Knock knock" he said,
"Who are you?" Izuku asked, filled with fear,
"I am you. But better"
Well thanks for reading, everybody. Sorry for the short notice but I had so many things to do in college like finals and work. Glad to be able to make a chapter before the end of the year.
So first things first, Hero. He has One for All, but more of the transfering part than the power stock like All Might and Izuku. Why did I decide that? Well I thought it be interesting and see where this goes.
Who is that man that claims to be the fastest man alive? Well that will be revealed next chapter. Also I decided to make two villains that based on Flash's villains, Captain Cold is obvious and the Tortoise? He was the first villain that the scarlet speedster fought.
And, finally, to TheMysteriousBanana, since your story isn't done, I just had to make up an ending to see how Mightless joined Fright Night. Hope you like it.
Okay, see ya guys around, this sunday is my birthday and I am excited. And by the time this chapter is uploaded,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STAN LEE!
Thank you for everything, may you enjoy your birthday with your friends and your wife in the heavens,
