This is my first fanfic. This chapter is more of a prologue to the story that will be in the normal MHA time, canon time starts in chapter 9. More at the end.
Of course, I don't own MHA and all credits to the creator.
A special child was born and unbeknownst to him, his life would change forever…
Chapter 1: Birth of a new world
While looking at his phone, he saw something unbelievable. A 'shining' baby was born in China. "What do they mean a shining baby, did it swallow a flashlight at birth?!"
He was a special teenager born in Europe. He was known to be smart and possessed a small superiority complex. Combining his passion for European history and politics, mixed with grand ambitions, made a dangerous combination. He knew that becoming a new Caesar or Napoleon was not possible, so he decided to just become leader of his nation and write his name in the history books somehow. It all changed thanks to the existence of quirks. While still walking his intended path, he couldn't help but read about these so called 'meta abilities'.
Ten years later and he was now a real politician that became increasingly popular amongst the voters. Meta abilities had sprung up across the globe and both governments and scientists were in heavy debate about their plan of action. A large group of people feared the danger these people could be to society, but a growing group also showed sympathy for the innocent souls that had the world watching. They were still just children. Some scientists announced that this was just a step in evolution, while others saw it as a mutation, a disease that needed to be cured. Governments debated heavily about the Meta Humans and how they should be treated. 'He' was planning his course of action. A new crisis was at the horizon with the growing number of Meta Humans and the divide they caused. "Crisis is opportunity, crisis creates great men. If I could use this to rise to power, rise to the top of the world… Yes I must! Just like how Napoleon rose out of the chaos of the French Revolution, so will I rise from the ashes of the upcoming chaos!" Quickly he started his own party and made himself as the anti-Meta symbol of all of Europe, even inspiring similar movements to pop up in all the world.
Another ten years later and the world was at a divide. The first generation of Meta Humans had become adults and started their own movement to protect their rights. The amount of Meta Humans seemed to increase exponentially and random, causing fear in the normal humans. A new kind of crime also came into existence and became an increasingly large threat to society. Some Meta Humans used their powers for criminal activities or used their power recklessly, causing horrible incidents. Everyone remembers when the news said that a teen had accidentally used telekinesis to lift some cars, but lost control and killed 37 people. Another big event was when terrorists opened a massacre on the streets of Berlin after training young Meta Humans to become child soldiers. The death toll rose to over 10,000 and the divide between normal and Meta Humans turned into open violence on the streets. The normal citizens mobilised and illegal weapon trade bloomed, at the delight of the weapon manufacturers. The police was powerless against these criminals, so the people took over the job. It also became a frequent occurrence that hoards of people would march on the streets to hunt down Meta Humans and protests against the Meta Humans turned into riots. This caused more and more of them to go into hiding.
'He' was delighted to see the world fall into his palm. His voice had become one of the biggest in the world on the matter and he was at the front line of the battle against these dangerous 'terrorists'. He called for an outright ban of public Meta use and a 'temporary confinement' of all Meta Humans to stabilise society. He was aware of the experiments and weaponization of Meta Humans in Second and Third World countries and was jealous that they didn't need to consider feelings and rights. The end justifies the means was his goal to this crisis. He wanted to open experiments to find a cure for this problem. Sadly, consent allowed the Meta Humans to escape and he didn't have the majority yet to bypass ethical rules. Even then, it was only a matter of time until his support grew large enough. The pro-Meta Human party had been under fire for the many incidents that they caused. They weren't really their fault, but 'his' handiwork had already done his job. A Machiavellian till his core, a puppet master with his strings across the entire western world. While he was active in his work life, he also found a supporting wife and had gotten three children: two daughters and his youngest was a son. He raised them as free individuals, but did try to get them into politics with him. His wife and daughters were already part of the party, but he wanted his son to first enjoy youth a bit more. While he was pictured by his enemies as a cold man without a heart, a better father figure could not be found. He was extremely fond of his family and would do anything to protect them. His ambitions for power were slowly overruled by his ambitions to protect his family. As a teen, he had considered the possibility that he had lost his empathy for others, but his family proved that it still existed. Sadly it would not all go his way.
While his son was walking to school with bodyguard protection, reckless Freedom Fighters were playing around with their abilities. The Freedom Fighters were a group that wanted total liberation of the Meta Humans and wished for the ability to be themselves whenever they wanted. They had already been dubbed as a criminal organisation for multiple incidents and their seemingly missing regard towards human life, preferring to play around with their Meta Abilities like little children. This often caused large amounts of damage and injuries to bystanders.
It couldn't have gone more wrong. The reckless behaviour of the Freedom Fighters had caused an incident that would soon be world news. While at his party headquarters, proud father and politician switched on his tv after he heard about another incident that he could potentially use for his cause, but this was not what he wanted to see. His son had been killed in a Meta incident, no... He was murdered. He let a single tear come down from his left eye. His companions tried to comfort him and his phone was going red with all the calls from his friends, but this was not going to affect him. He stormed out of the headquarters while reporters arrived and swarmed him with questions. The whole world was watching his reaction, but he walks angrily and fast towards the government building. He entered the House of Representatives and forcefully took the stage. They had all just heard that this man had lost his son and didn't intervene. The pro-Meta party left the moment the incident came out. "I lost my son because of these criminals, these VILLAINS! I have warned you many times and you do NOT LISTEN! Don't you understand the terror these villains are causing to society!" He bent down and grabbed some papers from his back that formed the first part of a series of the anti-Meta, Protection of the Future Code. At the same time, noise was heard outside the chamber as his supporters arrived to show their absolute support to their protector and saviour. The noise was becoming louder until it resonated from inside the building. Soon the doors burst open with furious people that entered the chamber. He signalled them to stay at the back and not enter the chamber too much. "Today we will pass the first part of the Code that will safeguard our society. If we delay it any longer all hope will be lost and we will fall into anarchy. Speaker, shall we vote? " The speaker gulped and stood up:" All those for the motion, please stand up. Those against, remain sitting." The members of the anti-Meta party stood up and seconds later slowly the other representatives rose up, not wanting to know what the horde of rioters behind them would do if they did not vote as he wanted. Slowly every single person stood up, while knowing what was going on. It was a coup d'état to seize control of the country. They were voting on a law here that they didn't even know the contents of. From the corner of his mouth, unnoticed by the people, a small smirk appeared at finally having made a successful first step to his masterwork.
Days later and the contents became clear, it was worse than they ever imagined. All Meta Humans were forbidden of working or going to school. Their tax would increase with 50% as compensation for the damages they cause. The nation would enter a crisis state until the Meta problem was dealt with. This allowed the president to bypass the democratic processes if he needed to. Funny enough, this same president was good friends with 'him' and he was basically just a puppet for public appearances. All Meta's would now be dubbed as villains. No matter their action. A small reference to how old cartoons portrayed criminals with superpowers. This was something the entire world slowly took over, but they only used it in criminal cases. Democracy took another hit after Meta Humans were excluded from voting or even being in politics itself. All this was in breach with EU-law, but the EU was powerless to stop him. His influence stretched too far. The Pro-Meta party went underground and reformed into the Alliance of Heroes. They became an international organisation wanting to prove the world wrong and wished to show their heroic spirits. Sadly for them, 'he' had already taken control of the world's view of these so called 'heroes'. It was but a matter of time until all the parts of his Code would be passed and he would reign supreme over the Meta humans.
Twenty years later and the world was in the palm of his hands. He expanded his party, opening branches in other countries from Japan to the United States. The man himself stepped up his game and entered the world of the EU, hoping to expand his total control to the whole continent. He was shy of a majority that would allow him to pass his Code of Law. Violence had grown even more with several countries having already fallen to anarchy and civil war in the America's and Africa. Growing fear for similar events in the western world caused his international support to surge. Time was running out as the size of the Meta Humans groups was becoming uncontrollable. The Alliance of Heroes were becoming a thorn in his side, acting as vigilantes, taking down villains and helping civilians. They also renamed their Meta abilities to quirks, as it sounded friendlier and could separate them from past Meta incident cases. This all gained them a small amount of support, but even the smallest amount of support can lead to disastrous consequences and thus needs to be annihilated. Luckily the non-Meta population still remained the very large majority and hatred and jealousy towards the Meta's remained severe.
The elections were coming up. He was leading a majority in the poll so if he could keep it up, he would finally achieve his goals and he could rest peacefully. As it always turns out, fate has another plan. While attending a public rally in Paris, the Freedom Fighters launched a terrorist attack on him. The tens of thousands of supporters scattered and screamed while his bodyguards rushed towards him. A villain with the power to launch explosions rushed towards the stage, opting for a direct assault to defeat the Anti-Meta faction. The one who had conquered Europe metaphorically, froze seeing no way out. "Is this the end? After all I have achieved, after all I did to avenge my son and to protect my family, After all I have done to protect the citizens that are dear to me. Is this how it will end? Am I Caesar in the senate, moments before my legacy becomes untouchable?"
The stage is blown up, his body flies through the air. It lands on the streets where the terrorist kicks it a few times. The other villains take out the guards and many innocent bystanders as collateral. After the army arrives at the scene they flee unharmed and the doctors can finally check the politician's state. His family also just arrived to the gruesome scene of blood and terror. The doctors check his body and tears fall. They turn around towards the family and shake their head. Screams of agony and grief fill Paris and soon the whole world.
The assassination succeeded. He was dead….
Little did he know that this wasn't the end, but only the start of his story…
A/N: Hello again! So this is the first chapter of the story. I hope it is not too bad as it is the first time I wrote anything like this. If you have improvements please tell me!
So this is kind of a prologue to the story. The main story will of course still play out in the modern MHA timeline, so this is just a start. There will be more chapters before the start of the normal MHA timeline, but I don't think it will be a lot. This story is inspired by a dream I had so that is the base of the story, but eventually it will evolve further outside from it. I'm also unsure if I should expand on the past or if I should just use it for backstory, let me know what you would like to see. If there are questions please ask them and I'll try to answer them.
Till the next time!
