Yay, the next arc! I hope you like the story, and I will keep on posting it.
Thsi is the U.A arc, which will cover everything up until the Tournament. Until then, this is what I have. I hope you enjoy!
*I do not own Boku no Hero Academia*
U.A Arc #1
Izuku and Itsuki packed up their bags and collected all their gear. Itsuki put his fire gauntlets in his bag and a few cans of kerosene. He grabbed his lighter and a bottle of flammable spray. It didn't hurt to be prepared.
Izuku put all his stuff in his bag and grabbed the All Might toy. While it was both of theirs, Itsuki let him have it when they found out he had no quirk. It helped him sleep at night.
But that was a long time ago, and now things were different.
"Itsuki, Izuku." The twins turned around to get a face full of flash. Rubbing their eyes of the camera's light, they got their vision back to see their mother staring at them with tears in her eyes. "I'm so happy that you're both doing this. It makes my heart scream knowing that both of you are going to follow your dreams." She hugged them both, pouring out her heart and soul into the feeling she had.
The two hugged back and smiled. Had it not been for having such a supportive mother, the tow of them might not be where they are right now."Good luck you two. Knock them all off their socks and show them how great the Midoriya are!" They smiled at their mother's confident look.
"Hai!"
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
Both brothers ran side by side, both looking for same class.
"1A, 1A, I can't find it anywhere!"
"I'm just glad we're in the same class together Izuchan!"
"There it is!" Izuku pointed to a little sign sticking out with 1A on it.
"This door is huge!" Itsuki said as they found themselves in front of a door that was taller than three of them standing on top of each other.
"Probably for accessibility." Izuku countered. "I just hope we don't have Katsuki in our class."
Itsuki nodded to that as he pushed open the door.
"Don't put your feet on the desk!"
"Huh!"
"Don't you think that's rude to the U.A. upperclassman and the people who made this desk!?"
"No! What junior high did you go to you side character!?"
Itsuki sighed and looked at his brother. "Nice, you jinxed us." Izuku gave his brother a glare. "Hey, I just got out of a class with him in Aldera, you think I want to be next to him in here too!?"
Iida took notice of the little battle and sped over to the twins. "Midoriya and..."
"Midoriya." Itsuki finished.
"Oh, are you brothers?" Iida asked as he froze his moments. Izuku scratched his face with a smile. "Uh, twins."
"Oh, it is nice to meet you, my name is Iida Tenya, and I was in the exam with Izuku." He looked to Itsuki, "Your brother was fantastic, not only in combat but in his ability to see past the test in front of us."
"Yeah, my little Izuchan is pretty amazing, scoring so high in the test!" Iida nodded.
"Yes, and I would also wish to give you an apology. While I have given Izuku, I know what its like to care about a brother. I apologize for calling him out during the test." Itsuki smiled.
"It's fine. If Izuku accepted your apology, then your good with me." Iida stuck his hand out. "Iida Tenya." Itsuki took the hand in a firm handshake. "Midoriya Itsuki."
"Oh! It's you! The guy who jumped up and saved me!" Izuku and Itsuki turned around and saw the girl who Izuku had saved.
"Thank you so much for saving me! I was worried that you wouldn't get it, but Present Mic said you would be fine! You were so cool, with the green lightning, then jumping up and 'boom!' taking out the robot in one punch!" Izuku smiled at her. "I'm Uraraka Ochaco, nice to meet you, well, we already met, but this is a formal meeting!" She quickly covered. Itsuki smiled.
"Look at you Izuchan! School hasn't even started and you've got boys' and girls' attention." Izuku blushed and gave his brother a pout. "You promised you wouldn't do this in U.A.!" He waved his hands in mock defeat. "You're right, you're right. I'll stop." Izuku shook Ochaco's hand."Nice to meet you, my name is Midoriya Izuku!"
The older twin went up and stuck his hand out. "Midoriya Itsuki, you little hero's older twin." He said as he shook her hand.
"Itsuchan!" Itsuki smirked a little.
"Go somewhere else you want to play friends." Itsuki, Iida, Ochaco, and Izuku all turned and looked to see a scruffy man in a yellow sleeping bag on the floor right behind them. He looked like a giant yellow caterpillar.
"This is the hero course." The man opened up his bag a little to suck on a juice pouch. He then got up from the ground and unzipped it the rest of the way, revealing black clothing and a set of grey scarves around his neck. "It took you eight seconds to quiet down. Time is limited and you kids aren't rational enough." The man kicked the rest of his bag off.
'A teacher, our teacher? Everyone wondered.
'Which means he must be a pro hero.' The twins thought. 'But which one?'
The man turned to the rest of the seated class. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shouta Aizawa. Nice to meet you."
"Our homeroom teacher?" Whispered out Izuku.
"I know it's a bit sudden, but put this on and go out to the field." Izuku and Itsuki looked at each other in confusion. What could possibly happen on the first day of school?
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
"A quirk assessment test?" Everyone yelled in shock.
"What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?" Aizawa brushed off Ochaco's questions. "If yo're going to become a hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events. U.A.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are. That's how the teachers run their classes." He turned to his confused and nervous class. "You guys have been doing these since junior high too, right?" He pulled out a little device that had a list of events on it. "
Physical fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your quirks? This country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their quirks. It's not rational. Well, the Ministry of Education is procrastinating." He turned to Izuku.
"Midoriya, you finished highest in the practical exam, right?" Everyone looked at the twins, who didn't falter the slightest at the attention. Bakugou was seething at not being first...again.
Izuku nodded to Aizawa. "What was your best result for the softball throw?"
"74 meters."
"Then, try doing it using your quirk." Izuku stepped forward and accepted a softball from Aizawa. As instructed, he walked into the circle and knew to get his quirk ready.
The power of One for All coursed through him, making his body glow and red lines appear all over him. 'Focus not only ten percent with full cowling, but an extra 10% to my right arm. It'll be a bit sore for a while, but it will be worth it.'
Everyone looked in wonder, trying to figure out how strong his quirk was. Itsuki smirk, knowing what his brother was thinking of.
Katsuki was seething. 'He had a quirk this whole time and never told me?! He hid this from me! Does he think I didn't deserve to know what he had?!'
Aizawa was prepared to cut off his quirk, but he held back, knowing this boy wouldn't be dumb enough to hurt himself to the point he did during the exams.
The glowing on his body ceased and was replaced with green lightning channeling currents all around him.
'One for All 10%, Full Cowling! 10% increase to my arm, making it 20%.'
He ready his arm back and prepared all his focus into the move.
'SMASH!' He yelled in his head as he launched the ball into the air. Completely frozen in his after throw pose.
Everyone watched in wonder as the ball flew away, bits of the electric power still stuck to it as it flew across the sky.
Aizawa nodded. This kid was a bit reckless, but he had good results. He pulled out his data recorder and showed everyone the results.
803.1
"Wow!"
"Amazing!"
"That much power!"
"It looks fun!"
There were more mutterings in the crowd but Izuki ignored it, only going back to his spot next to his brother who had a megawatt smile directed at him.
Katsuki was looking at him in shock which quickly turned to unadulterated hatred. Before he could even charge forward and destroy the little Deku, he found a wall of fire in front of him which dropped a second later to reveal a smirking Itsuki looking at him over Izuku's shoulder. Several people noticed, including Aizawa, but they didn't say anything about it. They didn't want to get involved with the hot head.
"It looks fun huh?" Aizawa said with blandly, getting everyone's attention. "You have three years to become a hero, will you have that attitude the whole time?" The man gave all of them an evil smile.
"Alright, whoever comes in last place at the end of the eight tests will be judged to have no potential and will be punished with expulsion."
"HUH!"
-;-
Izuku dashed through the 50 meter with One for Al, getting him 2.93 seconds. Itsuki got a 4.13 by making a fireball underneath him and balancing on it with his foot to go forward. (think Aang from Avatar using his air ball)
In grip strength, Izuku scored a 306 kg while Itsuki only scored a 94 kg. Not bad, but not good enough for him either.
In the standing long jump, Izuku easily made it over with an enhanced jump while Itsuki used flames from his quirk enhanced gauntlets to propel him over the dirt. He checked and because he was using his quirk to push the flames and increase the power, it counted.
When it came to side stepping, well, there's a video of a bald headed hero who Izuku mimicked in a sense when it came to speed. Itsuki placed fireballs at either side of his body and used them to help him push back and forth even faster.
At the ball throw, Itsuki lit his ball on fire and used his powers to push it forward until it was long gone, getting him a 622.4 meter distance.
When it came to sit ups, Itsuki did well, but he couldn't really use his quirk for it. Izuku was a bit tired from using One for All so much, so he didn't use it, opting to simply show off his plain physical ability along with his brother. Even without quirks, they were both very fit.
Then there was the seated toe touches. All those years of training flexibility in Yoseikan Budo really paid off.
At the long distance, Izuku used One for All again and did extremely well, along with Itsuki who used his fire creation to make the fire ball once more and rolling his way to a good score.
"Alright, here are the totals." Aizawa said lazily. His data collector released a projection of the results, letting everyone see what happened.
1 Momo Yaoyoruzu
2 Izuku Midoriya
3 Shouta Todoroki
4 Itsuki Midoriya
5 Katsuki Bakugou
6 Tenya Iida
7 Fumikage Tokoyami
8 Mezo Shoji
9 Mashiroa Ojiro
10 Eijiro Kirishima
11 Mina Ashido
12 Ochaco Uraraka
13 Koji Koda
14 Rikido Sato
15 Tsuya Asui
16 Yuga Aoyama
17 Hanta Sero
18 Denki Kaminari
19 Kyoka Jiro
20 Toru Hagakure
Itsuki slapped his brother on the back. "Wow! Second Place! Good job Izuchan!" Izuku was looking over at the Hagakure. Though she was invisible, he could tell that was silently crying.
"Oh by the way, that little thing I said about expulsion...I lied." He said lazily, getting everyone to look at him in horror. "HUH!" Aizawa looked at all of them. "It was to test all of you and see how you would perform under the stress of failure resulting in punishment. A rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your quirks." He finished with a strange smile.
Izuku Itsuki looked over at Hagekure to see she was jumping with joy, obviously happy about staying in U.A. He smiled knowing that nobody would have to be sent home early on their adventure as heroes.
"Deku! How dare you score higher than me!" The twins both turned to see Katsuki charging at both of them. Itsuki summoned up some fire and Izuku prepared for go into Full Cowling.
Before either side could start the first attack, Katsuki was bound up in long grey bindings, which wrapped around his head, neck, arms and body. Everyone looked over and traced the bindings back to their homeroom teacher, whose hair was now floating in the air and his eyes glowing red.
Katsuki gripped one of the bindings, but was in shock that what he hoped for didn't happen. "H-How come I can't blow these up!?"
"Because I'm deactivating it." Aizawa said. Itsuki and Izuku looked and saw a familiar pair of yellow shades with slits hanging in his shirt.
"Y-Your Eraserhead!?" Izuku said in shock. Itsuki wasn't fairing much better. Besides All Might, the older Midoriya felt that erasing people's quirks was probably the most amazing quirk ever.
Aizawa was surprised when Izuku said his name out loud. For the boy to know who he was said something about how engrossed he was with the hero community.
"That's enough, Bakugou. We don't need you attacking other students out of anger." He released the boy and pulled back his grey scarves, his red turning back to their dull black. "We're done here. Head to the classroom, there's handouts of the curriculum and class schedules. When you get back, look over them.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
Everyone was sitting in their seats, waiting for their next teacher in 1A. The day had been pretty normal for both the twins. They went to english, math, and then ate lunch with Ochaco and Iida.
They loved the food Lunch Rush made for them, it was fantastic! But then again, when you live with a certified cook, it makes everything less spectacular in comparison. Thanks mom.
Izuku really hit it off with the pair. Itsuki also liked to talk to the pair, especially to Iida about the exhaust his engines have and how using flame propulsion can lead to some powerful effects.
They also managed to get the number one girl to sit with them, Yaoyorozu, She was nice and talked to all of them about the principles of her quirk. They all then talked about their classes and what they liked to do.
Itsuki thinks he might be able to get Iida into reading Flash or Iron Man.
"I am... Coming through the door like a normal person!" The living legend All Might came through the door, getting amazed looks from all the 1A students.
"It's really him!" gawked Kaminari
"He really is a teacher this year!" Kirishima said in excitement.
"That's a costume from the Silver Age, isn't it?" Tsuya wondered.
"His style is so different, it's giving me goosebumps!" Ojirou shivered.
"I teach Basic Hero Training! It's a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero. You'll take the most units of this subject. Let's get right into it! This is what we'll do today! Combat Training! And to go with that are these." All Might pointed to the wall as panels opened and showed numbers on the outsides of them.
"Costumes based on your Quirk registrations and requests you sent before school started!"
Itsuki and Izuku smiled to one another. They sent their requests in months before and what their quirks were. They were excited to what they would receive.
"After you change, head to Ground Beta!"
"Hai!" Everyone yelled in excitement.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
All Might waited patiently as all his students came out of the tunnel, fully suited up in their uniforms as future heroes.
"They say the clothes make the man, young men and women. Be aware that from now on you are heroes!"
Itsuki and Izuku came out side by side, both very happy with what they received.
Itsuki came out with an burnt orange combat suit with green accents. There were openings in the suit for his gauntlets to slip right in, causing it to look seemless and effective at once. In between the plates of his armor was black fire resistant material. On his head was a similarly colored helmet that had a tinted visor. All in all, he looked and felt like a hero. (Pidge's Paladin Armor in Voltron Legendary Defenders. Except the the white armor is burnt orange.)
Izuku walked out in his own costume, but it was very different from his brother's. He wore a green skintight suit with black and white stylized accents. The black markings made lines around his shoulders and knees and black lines that went down his arms and legs. The white made lines that formed a X with a small circle at the intersection, with a small lightning symbol in the middle. On top of this, he had black wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow armor. He wore a pair of black running shoes and white and black combat gloves. To finish the ensemble, he had a diamond shaped breathing mask (canon) around his neck.
All in all, the twins were very happy that they sent in their requests.
"That's great! You all look amazing!" All Might gave them a brief explanation of the plans for their first basic combat training. Being split into teams of 2, they would take on the roles of villain or hero to decide whether they had to play defense or offense. Capture or recover for the heroes, capture or hold off the heroes until time runs out for the villains.
"Not, we will have a lot box to determine what the teams will be! Please take your paper and find your partner, as they will have the same letter on their's as you do."
Team A: Midoriya (Izuku) and Ochaco
Team B: Todoroki and Shoji
Team C: Yaoyorozu and Midoriya (Itsuki)
Team D: Iida and Bakugou
Team E: Aishido and Aoyama
Team F: Koda and Sato
Team G: Kaminari and Jirou
Team H: Asui and Tokoyami
Team I: Ojiro and Hagakure
Team J: Sero and Kirishima
"And the first battle will be..." All Might pulled one ball from each villain and hero bin. "These teams!"
Katsuki and Izuku stared at each other, one with anger, one with determination.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
Izuku made his way through the corridors, leading Uraraka. "Katsuki will try to come at us ,opting to have Iida stay back and play guard while he has fun."
"You know a lot about him, huh?" She asked curiously. Izuku nodded and his face tightened.
"I used to think that he was a friend, one that I always admired and saw as true hero potential, but then someone finally got it into my head that he was a bully and that his reasons for being a hero were for purely selfish reasons." She nodded.
"So why does he call you Deku?" Izuku cringed at that terrible nickname. "He gave it to me when we were kids, saying how the characters in my name meant Deku, which means useless. I hate that nickname, not only for it's meaning, but for the fact that he still uses it to this day, despite how far I've come." Uraraka smiled at him. "Well, you're definitely not useless. You're amazing Izuku. You scored second in the class, that proves how strong you are!" Izuku smiled to her, but it quickly faded.
"Shh, I hear something." He whispered. "He silently activated Full Cowling, going to 5% for now, but ready to switch instantly if need be.
"DEKU!" Around the corner of a wall came Bakugou, barreling in with his grenade like gauntlets aimed right at the duo. He blasted the spot they were at, smirking in satisfaction at the explosion he created.
"Get out of here Ochaco. I'll hold him off while you take care of getting to the bomb." Katsuki turned around to see Izuku let go of Angel Face, letting her run away.
'That piece of trash! I didn't even see him avoid it!' Katsuki turned around and looked at Izuku menacingly, who was getting into a defensive stance, lightning cackling around him.
"You think you're so great, you little bastard! I'll show you and everyone who you really are! You are below me, a pebble on the side of the street!"
"Katsuki, I let you get away with a lot when we were kids, but not any longer. This is my dream, and nothing will stop it, not even you."
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
Everyone watched the fight with fascination and awe.
Katsuki was definitely powerful , using his quirk to his advantage and having the raw firepower being his attacks, but Izuku was much more refined, using his speed to avoid and evade the blond before going in with quick and forceful impacts wit his elbows, knees, fists, and feet.
Itsuki watched his brother with an ever growing smile. His little brother has come so far. He could safely say that while he has had his quirk all his life, Izuku was already stronger than him in many ways.
Than again, when your brother has the power of All Might, you can't fault him for being so strong. Nevertheless, he's happy for his brother, happy knowing that his little Izuchan can complete his dream without the hardships of being the first quirkless hero.
All Might was impressed with his successor. The boy was making easy work of the blond, who through his power around with ease. While the boy was strong, the small area limited him when it came to using his powers, where the curly haired boy had didn't have to hold back.
That was until he saw Bakugou reaching for the pin in his gauntlet.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
"I don't want to have to hurt you, but you keep trying to do so to me." Izuku said in a defensive stance in from of his ex friend.
"Izuku, I found the bomb, it's on the middle of the fifth floor, but Iida is protecting it and stopping me from getting near it." He heard Uraraka say from his headset.
"Got it, try to get it, but I'll be there to help you soon." He whispered back.
Bakugou was confused, tired, and angry. Very angry. Izuku managed to avoid most of his moves and didn't look scuffed up in the slightest. He had a few burns on his arms guards, but that was it. Katsuki on the other hand had been hit in the stomach, ribs, back of the knees, and in the arms too many times for him comfort. Izuku had years of training his fighting technique, and coupled wit his mysterious quirk, it made him very dangerous.
'Screw everything! I'll blow him away right here and now!'
He reached for the pin in his grenade gauntlet. 'I asked for this to be added to my costume and now that I've build up enough nitroglycerin, it's will definitely blow him away!'
He pulled the pin and watched in cruel happiness as Izuku's eyes widened. A blast of explosion came out the end of his hand, blowing down the corridor and ripping it apart.
The explosion rocked the whole building, causing Uraraka and Iida, who were fighting upstairs, to stumble at the shaking.
When the smoked cleared from the damage, half of the lower levels were blow away, revealing the outside of the building and the rest of the currently unused battlefield.
Izuku was on the ground, his uniform burnt or singed in several places and his body in pain from the shear impact of the attack. Katsuki was very happy with the results.
"What do ya think, eh Deku!? My quirk carried quite a punch! That'll teach you who's number one! You're just a-"
"Shut up already!" Katsuki stopped and watched as Izuku slowly got up, his actions very forced and tired. "I don't care how much you want to push for first, I'm going to win today!"
Katsuki looked like he was ready to bury him where he stood. The blond charged forward with the intent to destroy the little Midoriya.
Izuku charged forward as well and charged up a certain part of his body. 'One for All 20%'. The two charged up with both their fists raised at one another.
*Boom*
Katsuki looked where his fist was supposed to hit his challenger, but found nothing! He looked around for a moment before hearing the sound of busted cement behind him. Turning around, he found something on the ceiling, a large hole that went straight up to the next levels. He screamed in frustration and hatred, making his way to follow the Deku, the one that fooled him again.
-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-
Uraraka was having not luck getting past Iida. He guarded the bomb with all his heart and time was running out. She couldn't use anything around her because he moved everything out of the room, meaning her quirk was not helping much.
"Uraraka!"
"Izuku!" She yelped out in surprise, her hand going to her ear. "What's wrong?"
"I'm heading to you. I need you to have him get away from the bomb! I'll be coming in from behind to touch it, you think you can do that!?"
She nodded. "Hai, I'll do my best!" She ran at Iida, knowing he was faster, but that wasn't her job.
He avoided her hands, making sure to not let her touch him.
"You can't win hero! Your time is growing shorter and I will win, bwahahahaha!" Iida said in mock villainy.
'Man, he's really getting into character.'
She made sure to push him further and further from the bomb. He could get there way before she could, but he didn't take into account her teammate.
The sound of distant impacts against concrete made themselves known to the hero and mock villain. They stopped their game of cat and mouse when an explosion of dust blew out from the middle of the room. When the dust cleared, there was a tired by lightning powered Izuku Midoriya standing there.
And he was close to the bomb. Iida acted quick, moving to get him away from the key to victory, but Izuku was closer than he was and still had some juice in him, allowing him to touch the bomb before Iida could move it or him. "Re-recovered." He said tiredly, his soreness drowning out Iida's cry in defeat.
"With our first team combat test, Hero Team Wins!" All Might's voice sounded through all the speakers.
'Man, I had to punch through four levels of thick concrete to get here using 20%. My arms are so tired and stressed.' He thought as he leaned his back against the fake explosive.
"Izuku!" He looked up groggily to see his cheerful teammate smiling at him. "We did it!" He smiled at her.
"And it was thanks to you." He said tiredly.
She looked at him with confusion. "B-But you were the one to not only distract Bakugou, but also touch it." He nodded.
"But you were the one to find the bomb and to distract Iida. Had it not been for you, I wouldn't have been able to recover it."
Coming out of the hole that Izuku made was a pissed off looking Katsuki. He looked over at Deku and his vision turned red. He stalked forward, despite his 'teammate's' requests and demands that he stopped, as they had already lost.
Katsuki was ready to kill Deku had a certain hero not drawn him of of his moment of pure anger.
Coming out of nowhere, All Might placed a hand on Katsuki's shoulder and stopped his advance "Young Bakugou, please join us in the room with the rest of your classmates. That goes for the rest of you as well. " Izuku nodded. With the help of Uraraka, got up and made his way out of the room, but not before meeting the blond's eyes, who stared at him with an undefinable look. But there was something Izuku could see in his eyes.
Defeat.
