Ranger McAleer: While I like the Mythology names, it should be a bit more personalized. Don't worry I'm still accepting suggestions.
CraftClaw: Oh that is too easy, I have a more elegant plan for Bakugou that would make Sidious proud. simply wait and read for future chapters.
Bayoujmd89: Ask and you shall receive.
BloodedgetheReaper2113: Oh he will, just not the obvious way to do so.
LordChalieJ: Not a bad name, but could it be translated to another language to sound cooler?

Izuku was sitting on his bedroom floor, reading a picture book, before a reminder went off. Izuku got up, sat on his bed and repeated the Sith code out loud, like he was supposed to daily. Once done he waited patiently for Alcor to return form his Holocron. Izuku spent the past Friday suppressing his anger at his classmates so another instance of his crushing something does not happen. Kachan had once again left burn marks on Izuku. Thankfully, the burns could be covered up with long sleeves, but every time, Izuku moved his arms he would mildly wince in pain from the still unhealed burns. After waiting for a solid ten minutes, that Holocron came apart and released a red fog, gathering in Alcor's form. Alcor looked down before beginning to speak.
"Your first lesson, I want you to sit completely still and meditate. Mentally reach out and grasp the feeling surrounding you." Alcor said before waiting for the inevitable response form Izuku. "Could w-we do this a-another t-time? Kacchan burned me at school and it still hurts."
Alcor looked at Izuku for what was only a minute, his amber eyes intensifying further. "Apprentice, a sith uses pain as a method to get stronger, to power though. You want to prove Katsuki and everyone else wrong, right?" A nod. "Then take that pain and use it as your motivator. Swear that for every mark left, for every burn caused, you'll deal a hundred, no a thousand times worse, to him and everyone else. And while you plot and plan for your revenge, use that hate to grow even stronger faster. Pretend you are nothing, and no-one will tell, you are more powerful, that you are stronger, that you are hungrier then all others combined. Make your tormentors rue the day they ever messed with Izuku Midoriya." As Alcor went on a tangent, he gained a demented grin that seemed to stretch far more then a human should be capable of. But damn, if Izuku was not listening and learning, gaining a determined look on his face. Putting into practice Izuku used that pain and hate as a focusing point, he sat down and began to mediate.
Izuku followed Alcor's earlier instructions, He used his feelings towards Katsuki and let go of all but that hatred at that moment. He mentally reached into the dark abyss of the unknown, before gasping it. In his mind he comes face to face with a creature that seemed to pull all the light inwards, leaving nothing but darkness. To describe it further is incorrect, as its form seemed to shift, from two legs to 16 legs, from one eye to a hundred. The living darkness growled as it began to walk around Izuku. Alcor's voice cut in from the outside world.
"That Apprentice, is the living embodiment of the dark side. In order to use its power, you must wrestle it and win. Failure to do so will leave you an empty husk that acts only on emotions with no reasoning. Now, grab it and force it to submit, prove you are superior."
Izuku's scared look that was on his five-year-old face disappeared as it once again gained a determined look, before yelling out and jumping onto the darkness. It growled back before attempting to bite down on Izuku's shoulder, Izuku simply twisted his small body before grabbing black fur and tugging hard. It yelped before its neck extended upwards and the head turned 180 degrees, before Izuku headbutted it is face in. Izuku continued to pull at the dark fur that seemed to get thicker or thinner at time, but never letting go, Izuku let one hand go and pushed the head down, before the darkness had enough and bowed its head in defeat. Izuku got off, and as the darkness tried to growl one last time, Izuku simply glared at it as it slinked off into the never-ending abyss that surrounded them. However before leaving the unknown area, Izuku heard a jumble of words that seemed to never end and was impossible to understand.
"̷͕̹́h̴̼̏ṣ̴̀s̸͎͇̓s̵̡̯̃"̸̥̄̇
Izuku was brought back to the real world and looked up from his sitting position to find Alcor once again grinning at Izuku's achievement.
On a far planet that seemed to be mostly covered in lava, a Muun and a human were locked in combat before both stopped and heard it. Somewhere in the unknown, a human child had just fought the dark side and won. As both retracted their sabers. The Muun, Darth Plagueis decided to close in eyes in thought for but a moment before speaking out his mind.
"I sense a new potential change in the Sith objective, perhaps we will meet this force-sensitive, perhaps we will not." His apprentice Darth Sidious sneered before replying. "You must be letting your senses dull, we do not know where this potential is nor should we care. Unless it makes it self-known, we shouldn't bother." While this is what Sidious said, his internal thoughts were otherwise. He could sense it, a human, male child that was barely out of his infantile years, had more raw power then even the current grandmaster of the Jedi order, Yoda. In fear, Sidious made a snap decision, to attempt to gravitate Plagueis away from this potential replacement, using his words subtly to sway Plagueis from looking for this child. He would not be reminisced, if some part of him did not want this child as an apprentice of his own, but he did not know where to start looking without causing suspicion, so he put those thoughts on the backburner, hoping that the darkside would provide him with a solution to this dilemma.
Both Plagueis and Sidious turned and left the training room, walking for a bit, before coming to a room, that was barren. However, the wall had deep scores that seemed to be old, older than it current occupant, a red skinned, Dathomian Zabarak sat on the floor his eyes closed, before snapping open at the presence of his masters. The eyes were amber yellow that seemed to have an uncontrollable anger to them.
Plagueis, called out the Zabrak, "Come maul, we have some training to do." The now named Zabrak, Maul silently followed him, as Sidious stood there for a moment before turning and following the two of them.
The prior day had Izuku learning the basics of the force, after meditating and basic abilities. Levitation, push, and pull, the sort. However, there was one lesson that Alcor pressed Izuku to learn and improve as fast as possible. False Aura of Light. Alcor explained that because, those who are truly Quirkless, are simply force sensitives, that do not know, nor actively use the force, does not mean they do not have it. That gut feeling some get could be explained by the presence of the force subtly pushing them in one direction or another.
False Aura of Light uses the darkside as gloves of sorts, the grabs small amounts of the Lightside. It molds and morphs the Lightside to warp around the user, creating a warm, comforting shield. While the feeling does not affect Force-Nulls, Force sensitives would find whoever is using the Aura, as trustworthy, or a good person.
Izuku, however had only learned it the day prior, and at Izuku's current level of proficiency, it was effective against non-trained Force Sensitives, it would not fool any Jedi Knight worth their title. Alcor said that Izuku was to train the Aura as much as possible, by that, he meant that when Izuku went outside, he was to keep it on and active as much as possible. It was practice of sorts. Alcor would be constantly probing the aura, as much as possible in order to improve effectiveness and Izuku's ability to multitask.
Izuku was out strolling around. He had to promise his mother to not go any further than three blocks form their apartment to get her to agree, but she eventually did. Maybe it was the hero that happened to live near them that help Inko's worries, but Izuku was thankful for the fact he could leave without too many questions. He felt the need that he had to go around for some reason. He questioned Alcor but he denied doing such a thing. When Izuku left, he did not see the smirk on Alcor's face. As Izuku turned a corner, he heard silent crying.
It was a little girl, she had dirty-blond hair, tied in two pig tails, freckles randomly adorning her face, and seemed to have mixed heritage, if Izuku had to guess, Japanese and American. When she opened her eyes, tears leaking free, Izuku noted the chocolate brown. Izuku making a quick decision simply sits down and hugs her.
This causes a flinch out of her in surprise before she accepts it and begins to cry on his shoulder. 5 minutes pass before she is done. She sniffs, as she looks up into Izuku's green eyes, with a silent thank you.
Izuku decided to speak first, "Hi, I'm Midoriya Izuku, i-its nice t-to meet you." He said with a slight stutter. The girl looked down before replying, a small stutter of her own. "I-I'm Ana L-Lee." Before Izuku could reply, Alcor's voice cut into his head. Izuku twitched his hand but she did not notice.
"Don't tell her of the force, or your abilities. That's final." With that said Alcor cut off the communication. Izuku sighed, before starting up a conversation with Lee.
"Why were you alone crying?" Izuku asked, this question receiving a violent flinch form the girl. This caused her to become a stuttering mess, that did not know how to answer. Izuku simply waited, knowing that he himself could have trouble giving answers at times.
"I-I-I'm Q-Q-Quirkl-l-less-s." Ana said almost afraid of his reaction. He was being more kind to her then anyone else was who had discovered this fact, save her parents. His response froze her in place, however. "Really! I'm Quirkless too." Izuku said followed by a spew of nonsense that she could not keep up with. However, with that said, she simply burst into more tears, happy that she had met someone that knew her pain.
They spent the afternoon talking about their respective lives, their prior friends that abandoned them, before exchanging parents phone numbers so they could continue talking, being near his home Izuku invited Ana in to meet his mother. "Maybe next week, my parents are going to get worried if I don't get home soon." Izuku saddened by the fact that he had to say goodbye, immediately brightened up when he remembered he had Ana's home number, knowing he could always call and have a friend that would be with him though thick and thin.
"KAAAAAAAA-SSSAAAAAAANNNNN! I HAVE A NEW FRIEND!" Izuku screamed out when he returned running into his mother's legs with a small oomph. Inko in surprise lifted Izuku up to eye level.
"You have a new friend Izuku?" She asked. "Yeah! Yeah! And guess what… she's just like me!"
"How could anyone be like you, you're one of a kind." She said as she put him down and poked his belly. "No! I mean she's Quirkless like me!" Inko was stunned. The amount of true Quirkless people was slowly going down, as statistics showed, when Inko studied them learning of Izuku's Diagnosis. She had sworn as a mother she would protect Izuku, no matter what. It was a desire to keep him from simply becoming another statistic, after seeing the suicide rates of Quirkless people. However, the odds, were only two percent of the new generation in japan were born Quirkless, plus many parents in shameful displays give up said children, even crimes have been committed that involved selling or killing said children. It was simply miraculous that Izuku found a new friend that shared the same burden that happened to be in his age range.
Inko realizing this could be the answer to protecting Izuku put on a massive smile that beamed light, "Well that's wonderful, I hope I get to meet her. Come on I'll make you dinner and you can tell me all about her."
And so, they did. Inko fixed up a small meal for two, as Izuku talked to an hour strait. Sometimes Inko had to remind him to breath. Izuku described what she looked like, how old was she, a month younger than him, her name, mentioning that she had mixed heritage. He also let lose that they traded numbers, Her home phone and Inko's cell phone. As they were warping up Inko's phone rang, which she put the dishes in the sink and answer it.
"Hello? Yes, this is Miss. Midoriya. Oh, I see, yes he's right here." Inko passed the phone to Izuku who put it up to his ear.
"Hello?" "Hi Izuku!" Ana's voice came in form the other line. "How are you doing?" "Hi Ana, we just ate, and now I'm talking to you!" Izuku and Ana picked up their earlier conversation, and this went on for about half an hour, as Inko just sat there with a smile on her face. She was happy Izuku had found what seemed to be a true friend. Better then those 'Friends' he hung out with. Contrary to popular belief, she was had an eye for small details, and could tell Izuku was hiding burn marks. She did not want to push him, so she went to the pre-school, but they simply dismissed her. And unfortunately, they did not have enough money for Izuku to go elsewhere so she had no choice but to let it slide. As much as Mitsuki was her best friend, it was clear their children would never be again. She tried to bring it up with her, but all that resulting in was Mitsuki smacking the Five-year-old Katsuki. Inko was between a rock and a hard place.
Inko turned to look at the clock, remembering she had to make a call soon, signaled she need the phone back to Izuku, who nodded, and began to wind down the conversation.
"Sorry Ana, Kaa-san needs her phone back, talk to tomorrow?" With a confirmation, he said goodbye and ended the call. He handed the phone back to her.
"Kaa-san, do you think Ana could come over for a playdate next week?" Inko smiled, "I'll have to talk to her parents first, no guarantees, but I'm sure we can set one up." Inko was looking forward to meeting this child that seemed to return the spark to his eyes, Izuku lost when he was deemed Quirkless. She really wanted to thank her. She gained a grin at the teasing opportunity.
"You going to date her when you reach High school?" Izuku was shocked, before developing a blush and putting his face in his hands. "Kaa-san, that's gross." Was all he said as he scurried of to his room locking the door behind him. She simply smiled.
Alcor was siting on Izuku's bed, reading a book he had snatched from Inko's bookshelf. Apparently Inko was a lawyer and having a book on Japanese law helps. He looks up as he hears the door open, close and lock. Izuku looks at him expectantly.
"Master, did you have anything to do with that?" Alcor sighs, "Again no, that was not me. Although I did have to warn you not to tell her. Before you start making a case for this or that, no I am not going to be teaching."
"What, why not!" "Because an apprenticeship means I only have one student at a time, it's not a standard teaching job. Don't bother me again about this."
In a huff, Izuku and began to practice his force abilities. "Oh, and one more thing. You're forbidden form teaching her any of this. Don't argue with me." Alcor's voice was deep and authoritative. Izuku quickly nodded his head, and went back to practice.
'Yes, she'll do nicely. HA HA HA.' Alcor hid his smile, behind the book, Izuku unknowingly setting Ana Lee up to die.
Ana has about 8,500 Midi-clorians.
Izuku still has around 19,000 Midi-clorians. As he gets older and bigger, his count will grow.
Yoda has a count of 17,000.
Darth Sidious has a count of 19,000 himself.
Anakin, had he not lost his limbs, could have had a count between 26,000 and 30,000 easily.
Just some number for Y'all to think on.
