Alastor's Amulet
Hey everyone, welcome to my first fanfiction. I wanted to thank you for reading the first part and I hope you enjoy it.
After being scolded by the pro heroes Izuku flew off trying to get away from the press while flying he heard the strange voice.
Boy how are you feeling, the voice he heard earlier said.
I am feeling fine, great even. Izuku said.
Good now we must talk about you using my power, the voice said.
Your power? Wait before that what your name, Izuku is asked.
Hmmmm I never did introduce myself, no matter my name is Alastor, a crimson lord. The now named Alastor said.
A crimson lord? What is that? Izuku asked.
A crimson lord is an existence, amongst the Crimson Denizens, possessing great power. Because of their large existence, they require a lot of Power of Existence to continue to manifest themselves in your world. Alastor said.
What are Crimson Denizens? And what do you mean to manifest in my world? Izuku asked now more confused than ever.
Sigh this will take a while to explain but first you have to find me. Alastor said.
What do you mean find you I am so confused, what are these powers you gave me, what is going on!? Izuku said hysterically.
Too much was going on at one time and Izuku didn't know what to do, he just got weird powers out of nowhere and he hears a voice telling him all sorts of things, he is beginning to wonder if he is going crazy.
Alastor, seeing the boy's distress and sighed knowing this was a possibility, tried to put too much information onto the boy in a short time. Sighing he said.
Ok boy calm down I will explain everything to you tomorrow just go home and rest for now.
Izuku heeded Alastor's words and went home.
Once Izuku returned home he had calmed down, once he landed the wings made of fire dissipated into nothing but ash. When he entered his apartment he was hit with a barrage of questions from his mother, but once his mother saw how tired her son was she decided to let him sleep and ask questions the next day.
Izuku awoke from his sleep, sighing as he got up and did his morning routine. Once done and dressed he called the crimson lord's name.
Alastor, I am ready to know everything, Izuku said.
Very well then, this is the history of the flame hazes, Alastor said. It had been an hour since Izuku learned the history of the flame hazes and crimson denizens. To be honest he was shocked, now know everything he was shocked to know Alastor chose him to be his new flame haze, or he is once he get Alastors amulet and makes the contract, but lucky for him Alastor is guiding to where it is.

Hey are you sure this is the right place Alastor, Izuku asked.
Affirmative Izuku this is the place, Alastor replied
Izuku could only stare at what seemed to be an old ruined castle from a long time ago. As he looked at the castle. Be for Izuku could enter.
Izuku, you will have to face a trial to get my amulet. Are you ready? Alastor asked the young boy.
Izuku breathed in and out, he steeled his nerves and hardened his determination and answered with all the confidence he had.
Yes!
Izuku entered the building ready for the challenge ahead, Alastor told him he was not going to help him as this trial was Izuku's challenge alone. He dodged his way through the traps as he explored the ruined castle, he was in shock and awe at the size of it, it felt like he was in a maze.
It took Izuku five minutes to find where Alastor's amulet was, as Izuku walked into the room the door behind him shut and a ring of fire was formed, realizing what this meant Izuku got into a fighting stance ready for anything.
A figure soon appeared wearing black skin tight suit with a blackish-gray jacket on, once in the light Izuku blushed seeing it was a woman.
So you're the person Alastor chose, the lady said.
Yha but who are you? Izuku asked the lady in black.
My name is shana the flame haze of Alastor before you, the now named shana replied.
Izuku could only stare in shock, the woman in front of him is one of his predecessors, Izuku now realized just how difficult his trial is going to be.
Shana, seeing how nervous her successor was, sighed.
Hey kid calm down for the trial all you have to do is land one hit on me ok? Shana said.
After hearing this Izuku calmed down and nodded.
Ok this is more doable gotta catch her off guard somehow, Izuku thought
Are you ready, Shana asked the young greenette?
Yha let's get both the older and younger flame haze got into their fighting positions,
Shana was ready to test the young man's worth, while Izuku was ready to prove that he is worthy.
Without saying a word Shana disappeared from the Izuku sight and was upon him trying to hit him with a downwards slash, Izuku barely dodged the slash and went for a clumsy slash to her arm only for it to be easily paired by his predecessor.
There was only one thought going through Izuku's mind.
I'm fucked.
Izuku was tired, sweaty, beaten and battered but most of all he was frustrated, for the past hour he had tried everything he could and still could not hit Shana. He was brought out of his thoughts when Shana delivered a vicious back hand to his face sending his flying, once he landed Shana appeared in front of him.
Just give up you clearly can't win, Shana stated coldly to the young boy.
Never, I will become a hero, he shot back at her.
Please you a hero don't make me laugh, she said mockingly
Shut up
You'll only get yourself killed
Shut up
You're too weak
Shut up
You are nothing
SHUT UP!
With rage he never thought he had Izuku charged at the shocked Shana and clashed swords with her.
I don't care if I'm weak or to slow, I don't care what other people think I will be a hero no matter what it takes, Izuku yelled, the rage he felt turned into burning determination ready to prove all who doubted him wrong and he was going to start with Shana.
With new found skill Izuku had Shana on the ropes trading slash after slash with his predecessor over and over.
I can't keep this up, I have to put everything into one last strike, Izuku thought
Breaking off his clash with Shana, Izuku put his sword to his side and closed his eyes. He channeled everything he had into this last strike, unknown to him his sword started to glow red.
Opening his eyes, Shana was shocked to see them glowing, Shana seeing what was about to happen brought up her sword to intercept the incoming attack.
Izuku breathed in and out and entered his stance. Within one second both Shana and Izuku swapped places, Izuku collapsed and was knocked out while Shana had a cut on her left cheek, she turned around and looked at the boy with a kind smile.
(1 hour later)
Izuku awoke in a room he did not recognize but before he could freak out he heard a voice.
Are you ok, Shana asked the young boy?
Izuku was confused about who this person was until his memories came back, this person is his predecessor Shana who he had fought to prove he was worthy. He remembered the fight and how….and he lost, Izuku wanted to cry and curse the world his only chance to be a hero was now gone, Bakugou was right he really is a useless Deku.
Before Izuku continue his downward spiral into depression Shana's voice broke his thoughts
I'm sorry, Shana said.
Huu why are you apologizing, Izuku asked, confused.
I said such a mean thing to you during our fight, Shana replied.
Ooo no it's fine, Izuku said
No it's not, I did not mean any of those things ok, Shana said.
Re... Really, Izuku asked.
Of course I only said those thing to make you angry ok, Shana said
Its ok I forgive you, Izuku replied
Shana smiled, good now get up it's time for training.
Training? Izuku asked, I thought I failed the trial.
Izuku then saw the faint scare on Shana's cheek, all he could do was smile.
With a sudden rush of energy Izuku jumped into the air and yelled at the top of his lungs.
I DID IT!
(10 Months later)
As Izuku stood in front of the gates to UA high school he heard a voice.
Are you ready Izuku, Alastor asked.
Izuku stood there wearing Alastor's amulet around his neck and wearing Shana's jacket and smiled.
Yha I'm ready, Izuku said with confidence. My adventure begins now.
