Musutafu, Japan

Narrator POV:

It was a normal day in the city. The sun was shining, people were walking in and out of stores. And of course, heroes were combating the scum of villainy. A man with light blue hair that acted like 10-foot-long tentacles was escaping from the local bank with several bags of loot. The heroes Kamui Woods and Death Arms were in pursuit.

"Well heroes. This has been quite the hair-raising experience, but I got to go," the man said climbing a nearby skyscraper.

"I hate the ones who use puns," Death Arms murmured.

"Well, let's go with Plan B," Kamui Woods called to him.

"You got it rookie,"

Death Arms grabbed Woods and threw him up at an incredible speed up towards the villain.

"Here's my new technique. LACQUERED CHAINS PRISON!" Woods yelled, spreading branches on one of his arms, into a spiky trap. But before he could catch the villain, a red blur came out of nowhere, crashing into the two men on the side of the building. Death Arms leap up and caught Kamui Woods, but the man and the red object crashed into a car nearby, nearly cutting it clean in two.

"The hell was that thing?"

Woods waked up to the crash. The tentacle-hair man was unconscious, and while he didn't seem to have any open injuries, he definitely had broken a few bones, and probably a concussion to top it all off. But then he saw what the red blur was. It was a kid. Maybe no more than eight or nine years old. The kid light red hair was a complete mess and his pale complexion was marked with soot, small burns, and dried-up blood. His clothes were a strange matter. He wore a T-shirt and shorts that looked like they belonged to a full grown man.

"Hey, man. You should come look at this," he called to Death Arms.

Woods leaned over to check the child's eyes. After pulling his eyelids up, he saw that the boy's eyes had rolled back into his head. But at least he was still breathing.

"Holy shit… Hey, somebody call an ambulance!" Death Arms cried out as he saw the state of the child. He lifted the kid up slowly. Kamui's eyes widened as he saw blood, at least he thought it was blood, flow up from the ground, into the boy's body.

"The hell?" he thought to himself. "Must be the kid's quirk. But still… how did he get up there, to slam into this piece of trash? And where are his parents?" He nudged the villain's body with his foot, causing the man to twitch. After handing the man to the police, he and Death Arms decided to check up on the kid.

Kamui Woods POV

"Whaddya mean he doesn't have a record?" Death Arms said to the police officer.

"I mean that when we put him through the system, we got absolutely zero matches. No known relatives, addresses, anything. I suppose the best thing to do is wait for the kid to regain consciousness and then ask him." the officer replied.

"Well thanks anyway. We'll be sure to give you any info he's willing to share," I told him.

The officer looked at the the two of them and gave a sharp nod before walking off.

"E-e-excuse me, sirs. The boy is awake," a blonde nurse called to the heroes.

"Seriously. Boy is tougher than I thought he was. Maybe I should ditch you and take him in, eh Kamui?" Death Arms chuckled.

"Thank you Nurse. We'll be seeing him for a little while," I responded Ignoring him.

"O-of course," the Nurse said blushing profusely. She opened the door. Inside, the boy was sitting up, with various parts of his body covered with bandages, that he was removing with no apparent difficulty. It also seemed like the hospital provided him with a new set of clothes that were more his size. After hearing the door open, he glanced up. It was then that Kamui noticed his eyes. They were a deep blood red, and gave him a crazed or even insane look to him. And frankly, they unnerved me.

"How are you feeling?" Death Arms asked.

"Alright, I guess…" the boy responded.

"Do you mind if I ask you a few question?"

"Are you police?"

"We're heroes. I'm Death Arms, and this here is my partner Kamui Woods."

"Hello, there," I interjected.

"Right... So what were your questions?"

"Can you tell us about you? What your name is? Where your parents are?"

The boy looked deep in thought. At first, I thought he might have a case of amnesia but it seemed more like he was trying to decide whether or not to tell the truth about who he was.

"Name's Kasady. Cletus Kasady. And as for other info, to be frank, i'm an orphan who lives on the streets,"

"Oh," Death Arms said and I couldn't really blame him.

"So, uh, how did you get up on the building?"

"Honestly, I don't remember much? What I just told you is all I remember really,"

"Okay, well thank you for your time! We'll send in an officer who can help," Death Arms quickly said and ushered me out. After he closed the door behind him, he glanced up at me and he seemed a little nervous.

"That kid scares the crap outta me. He's something else,"

"That's for sure. His attitude and actions were like he's done this before. And knew exactly how to get out of that situation,"

Suddenly, a team of four doctors rushed in. I stopped one of them to ask what was going on.

"We have to administer sedatives and tranquilizers to the kid. No matter the dosage, they wear off every half hour and he tries to escape. The last time we tried to restrain him, he broke several arms and nose. Of the other doctors," she responded in a hesitant voice.

An adult man's scream came from the room. Death Arms and I looked at each other and got away as fast as we could.

Kasady POV

Oh man, the looks on those two 'heroes' faces were priceless. On the down side, two days after the incident, a police team came in, told me that the info I provided checked out for now as they could find nothing else about me, and were going to take me to the local orphanage to "have a safe place to live in". OH. MY. FREAKING. GOD. This wouldn't end well. My previous situation ended up with me murdering most of my family, nearly getting murdered in return, sent to St. Estes Home for Boys where I was abused by my fellows and the staff, and committed a few more murders. All before I even hit my twenties.

Sitting in the back of the cop car, I couldn't help but feel like I was getting arrested again. Of course, due to Scarlet Witch's morality altering BS, plus Spidey's words, I had already vowed to become a better person. Whoop-de-do… But I thought to reflect on my current situation, while I still had time. So I have reverted back into an eight-year-old, but I can still use the symbiote, however not to the full potential I had back on my original Earth. And on a side node, I could now understand, read, speak, and even write in Japanese perfectly. I have no clue where that one came from. Overall, my situation could have been a lot worse. At least this way, I get a roof over my head and three meals a day for free. I morphed my hand with the symbiote

"Plus I still have you, Carnage," I said talking to it.

"What was that, buddy?" the officer in front asked.

"Nothing. Just talking to myself,"

"Alright. Well, we've arrived to your new home,"

I looked out the window. It was a church-like building. As we drove through the gate, a sign said St. John's Home for Children. I sighed as we came to a stop.

Six Months Later

Narrator POV:

"Come on mom. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" a little girl called.

"Alright Taniko. I'm coming. Honestly I haven't seen you this excited since we saw All Might in person," her mother responded.

"Now before we go, I want you to understand why we are doing this. Things haven't been the same after your father's death. And our home has been feeling… empty, right,"

"Right!"

"So we are doing this so that we can feel like a whole family again, okay?"

"Right!"

The woman sighed. She knew her daughter was intelligent for her age, but being a child meant that she probably wouldn't comprehend abstract reasons, like the one she just gave. All she could be glad for now was that the girl wasn't against this decision. And luckily, her job paid well enough to compensate for an extra mouth to feed.

It was a fairly short drive to orphanage. The two walked into the office of the woman running the orphanage.

"Hello, you must be Mrs. Hiraki," she said.

"Yes. Hey, Taniko, maybe you can go play with the other children,"

"It is a little past lunch so most of them should be in the backyard playground, okay?"

Taniko gave a quick nod and ran off the the backyard. Walking outside, she had to squint her eyes due the brightness of the sun, but when her eyes adjusted she saw about thirty kids playing on various structures or just running around.

"So you're the new kid, huh?"

Taniko whirled around to see three boys, each about twelve years old.

"W-what?"

The tallest of the three, a boy with blonde hair, said "You heard me, new girl. Did your parents run away and leave you alone on the doorstep? Or did they just die, when they saw your ugly face?"

Taniko was about to burst into tears. She didn't know why the boys were acting this way.

"My daddy is dead! S-s-so shut up!" she cried.

"Oh ho! It looks like we hit a soft spot, eh boys. Listen new girl. We run this place you hear me, you little-"

"Why don't you leave the lady alone, smartass?" a new voice called out.

The three boys suddenly looked up in terror. Their eyes widened. Taniko swore she saw one of them piss his pants.

"Crap crap crap! It's Kasady! Run!"

"I never wrote my will!"

"Wait for me, you guys!"

Taniko looked around in bewilderment, not seeing anyone. That is, until she heard laughter coming from above her. A boy, slightly older than her was hanging upside down from a tree on a sort of red thread. He suddenly swung forward and landed in front of her with the grace of a dancer. He held out his hand.

"Hey, my name's Kasady. But you can call me Cletus," he said with a grin.

Cletus Kasady POV

After hearing that a new kid was coming in today, I knew those three idiots would be up to no good. But this was a complete mistake on their part. I suppose it was partially my fault, as I snuck in the new guy so that he wouldn't be immediately targeted. But that set the bullies on a thirst for blood, picking on this girl, who came in with a woman I assumed to be her mom. Not exactly orphanage material. Speaking about her, she had dark hair and pale skin that made her look kinda cute. She wore a white dress and had little slippers on. Her silver eyes were filled with tears. But her strangest feature were the ivory colored horns that curved around the front of her head, with the points facing directly at each other. It wouldn't make for a killer headbutt, but they were pretty stylish.

"Thanks for helping me. My name's Taniko Hiraki," she said in a quivering voice.

"Ah, don't mention it,"

She walked along beside me, sniffling. I tried to lighten the mood so we talked about, anything really. I learned quite a bit about her story. Her parents were originally a crime fighting duo. But, one time, a mission went wrong and her father was ambushed and killed by an unknown villain. The perp was never caught. Her mother retired from being a hero to get a normal job and take care of her daughter. As Taniko grew up, she was inspired by both of her parents and decided that she wanted to become a hero. And with a quirk like hers, she would certainly be able to become one. Eventually we started playing. As for me, I felt strange. I still had all my previous memories, remembered all the atrocities I committed, but my mentality had degraded to that of a child's leading to, well, child-like behavior. Basically, I could start a new life, even on a mental standpoint. Before we knew it, it was well past the afternoon and it was evening. The woman who I assumed to be her mom came out and called Taniko over.

"Allright Taniko. Have you made any friends yet?"

"Only one. That boy over there. Cletus Kasady. He saved me from some bullies. And then we played together. I like him. And his quirk is really cool. Can we take him home?"

I was standing only a few meters away, pretending not to watch the scene. Upon hearing her words, I just sweatdropped.

"Seriously? I'm not something in a toy store window…" I murmured. But I hoped that her words would change my situation. Staying in this place brought back bad memories. And living with a Taniko as a sister...

Her mother glanced over at me with a strange, but warm look. I walked over after she beckoned me forward.

"Thank you for helping my daughter, young lad,"

"No problem, ma'am. 'Was the least I could do,"

For some reason, these words brought sudden tears to her eyes. She quickly said something and then apologized. I was only able to catch a sentence.

"That's what he used to say,"

She got up and bowed to me, to which I bowed in return. She then gently took Taniko's hand and walked out. Taniko looked at me with sad eyes and waved goodbye.

But before they left she whispered something to me, looking hopeful.

"We'll be back for you,"

The next few weeks went by in a blur. I saw Taniko a few times and each time, she seemed more excited to see me. The way the orphanage operated was that families who were willing to adopt could come in every month to meet with the kids and at the end of the month, there would be an assembly where the parents would make their final choice and the lucky kid would be officially adopted. For once, I was looking forward to the assembly. And before I knew it, that day arrived.

Kahori Hiraki POV

On the first time we visited the orphanage, I remember saying that I had never seen my daughter so excited. Well, that was nothing compared to today. She was zipping around the house, literally. With her temporal manipulation quirk, high speeds like this weren't uncommon.

"Taniko! What did I say about using your quirk in the house?"

"Only use it if it helps the situation. But me helping you super-fast can get us there faster! So let's go already,"

I had to use my quirk, Prediction, to catch her.

"So, are we sure about this decision Taniko,"

"I was sure from day one, mom!"

I simply had to smile. I already knew that she was an excellent judge of character.

Taniko POV

The assembly was a lot more fancy than I thought it would be. There were some decorations, and the main auditorium was cleaned up. Also there were some many cookies! I snuck a few extra before Mom could notice with my quirk. After hiding them in the pockets of my pants, I ran behind her. I was going to save a couple for him.

"Can all the children please line up?" the woman who I saw in the main office called.

About fifty boys and girls of different ages lined up. I scanned the line before finally seeing a familiar head of red, messy hair. Cletus was also scanning through the crowd. The longer he looked, the more depressed he seemed, until he finally spotted me. He gave a quick wave, looking much more relieved, but still nervous.

The whole ceremony of other parents selecting students took FOREVER. I nearly passed out from boredom when the lady called out our name. Mom went up to the center and called out for Cletus. For some strange reason, a bunch of students sighed in relief while others either looked at us in pity or stared like we were crazy. Cletus waked forward. Mom bent down and handed him the adoption certificate. I was bouncing with excitement.

"I guess the two of us are brother and sister now. You can stay in my room. We got a new bed. You can share all of my toys. We can play together, and help each other with homework and-"

Cletus suddenly hugged both me and my mom and started crying. We stood there for a few minutes with my- our- mom consoling him. He eventually stood up, wobbling a bit on his feet.

"Sorry about that. And about the sibling thing Taniko. You're right. Let's get going, sis,"

Mom smiled and walked ahead. I held Cletus's hand and walked forward. I looked back at him. He was back to his original attitude, but he first doing something with his quirk. He had created a hand from a tentacle on his back and lowered all of the fingers except the middle, and pointed it at all of the other kids. Many of them looked offended for some reason. The tentacle suddenly vanished when Mom turned around to ask us to hurry up. Cletus and I smiled at each other and ran forward. I couldn't help feeling that the two of us would do everything together. Even become heroes.

Okay so the next chapter is here. Unfortunately, there's not much action as this is to mainly introduce an important OC. So Carnage is now adopted and has a sister who will be joining him in UA. And just to simplify things for later, here is a brief description of Carnage and the two OCs:

Cletus Kasady

Age: 16

5ft 10in

Light red, curly hair

blood red eyes

Quirk: Spider Symbiote

A symbiotic slime monster lives inside of his bloodstream. It covers him to create the demonic monster, Carnage. He gets all of the abilities of Spider-Man: proportional strength of a spider, incredible agility, wall-crawling, and enhanced senses and reactions. With the symbiote, he can create organic webbing that he can use to ensnare enemies or web swing around. It acts like a viscous liquid so it can flow to Casady and onto others or even morph his arms into nearly anything left to Casady's imagination: tendrils, blades, shields, etc. It can also fire bullet-like projectiles of itself that can pierce armor. He can also manipulate the hardness of the symbiote as well as camouflage. Also if a large enough mass of the symbiote attaches itself to organic material, he can control it with his mind. The symbiote also gives 360O vision from any angle on his body. Finally, he can regenerate and heal almost any injury.

Weaknesses: Any part of the symbiote that does not touch organic material within 10 seconds disintegrates. The symbiote also has a weakness to loud and high pitched sounds (albeit only those produced at the force of a sonic cannon) and has a large weakness to strong flames. Encountering either of these will cause the symbiote to retreat back into his body, leaving him vulnerable.

Kahori Hiraki

Age: 41

5ft 5in

Straight & Jet back Hair

Purple Eyes

Quirk: Time Dilation

She can slow down a person's perception of time.

Taniko Hiraki

Age: 15

5ft 2in

Long, straight, jet black hair

Silver eyes

2 horizontal, curved, ivory colored horns

Quirk: Time Alter

This ability allows her to either slow down time or speed it up. She can apply this ability to an individual person, including herself, or use it over an area, creating a 'time bubble'. Slowing down time, the force and object applies decreases while the force increases when time is sped up.

Weakness: Increased or prolonged use tires her very easily.

In the next chapter we'll finally get into the actual story of My Hero Academia. PLUS ULTRA!
