1 vote – Darth Ferno
SupremeDarkTrooper: Thank you, and I can agree with the idea that past Sith can defeat modern Sith, maybe in direct combat, but generally speaking, the rule of two did do a good job of making sure only the best could be considered Sith. That being said, Alcor is not an ordinary Sith and underestimating him, even as a soul fragment, is sure to be your downfall.
DigitalReaper360: Thank you for your kind words.
I do not own My Hero Academia or the Star Wars Franchise.
Both Alcor and Izuku looked at the rodent of a principal that just stood there for a long while before finally blinking. Alcor had this look of absolute shock, as he literally saw all his plans coming apart at the seams. "H-How?!" Alcor pointed at the chimera all but demanding an answer from it.
"Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to give you, as I do not know why you are so shocked. I do not have a quirk to read minds." Nedzu calmly explained to Alcor, amusement dancing in his eyes. "M-Master, when you scanned for life in the building, you said there was no human life, right?" Alcor only nodded, "Yes only a few rodents, wait don't tell me that's a massive rodent. What the kriffing hell, I thought that was a short human with a mutant quirk. Why is there a sentient rat, the size of large dog? Only humans were sentient 3,000 years ago, sentience does not evolve that fast!" Nedzu's teeth showed as his eye twitched in irritation at the rant the yellow eyed man went along with.
"Oh, 3,000 years, you don't seem to be that old." Nedzu said calmly. 'Shit! I revealed something I shouldn't have, what a rookie mistake.' Alcor thought after freezing. "Well, in a world of quirks, anything is possible." "I suppose so, but considering you predate all quirks makes you an oddity."
Alcor looked at Izuku before sending a mental message. "Play along apprentice." "What?" "I said play along." Alcor communicated with a tone of finality. "All right. Would you believe extra-terrestrials?" Nedzu had this glint in his eye that seemed to light ablaze his curiosity. "Oh, well that's interesting, but perfectly feasible." Alcor mouth turned upwards by just the slightest hint, unknown to Nedzu or Izuku, who instead could sense the mind of his Sith master working overtime. "You see, I'm not from this planet, rather I traveled here some 3,000 years ago. I created what could be considered a mental imprint of my own mind in a special device." At this point Izuku playing along, pulled out the closed Holocron. "Of course, as you probably guessed, I retained power, the same power my original could do, by to a much weaker degree. The reason for leaving said device here is to hopefully find a new student to have. Someone with both potential and passion. This young man here is that person." Nedzu hummed before replying, "So is there anyone else that has this potential for this unknown power? Perhaps to be trained?"
Alcor chose his next words carefully. "Perhaps, but I' have not actively sought out another student and will not again. It will be up to my current apprentice here on if he wants to pass on my teaching or not." "I see, well I hope he does choose to pass it on. I would love to see future heroes, using this unknown power." Behind Alcor's eyes were seething rage at audacity of this chimera that future heroes would use Sith teaching, as well as amusement at the naivety of this animal. Not that Nedzu could tell, Alcor had relaxed himself to the point identifying what was on his mind was impossible. "Maybe, but maybe my apprentice doesn't want to become a hero." "Perhaps, but I could simply report you to the Police, leaving the child out of any report."
'This animal, he's trying to make me slip up, a clever predator if I've ever seen one. However, one does not best a Dark Lord of the Sith in a game of wits, not without massive amounts of damage.' Alcor thought to himself. "Ahh, but here's the problem with that, one, even if you could, would the Police actually be able to hold me or not. Second, you would have to report my apprentice, or else you will never find me. I'm curtain the camera's captured my ability to transform right." Nedzu had a bad feeling about this but nodded along. "Right, that red mist ability." "With it I can hide myself in the device shown to you. In fact, due to my unique state, I could be placed at the bottom of the ocean or the vacuum of space and not have anything happen to me. You would never know where I'm hiding."
"And third, what my Apprentice and I use is something that is not a quirk, so legally you can't arrest us for quirk use. This power has its roots back to over 25,000 years ago." Nedzu hated to admit it, but Alcor was right. However… "Oh, but what about breaking and entering, that certainly is a crime." At this Alcor smirked. "Ah, but think about how much this would damage U.A., police reports, unless involving government secrets, are made public 6 months after the initial incident."
"How much it would damage U.A.?" Alcor nodded his head at the rodent of a principal. "Imagine if the public or media got a hold of the fact that only a single man and single child managed to break into U.A. The same U.A. that reportedly has the second highest security in the country, right after the Tartarus Prison. Not only would U.A. suffer from the blood thirsty media, but the HPSC might have to step in to remove you form position if found unsuitable." Nedzu visibly paled as much as he could, in his effort to investigate his curiosity, he had forgotten that U.A. was held to the highest standards. Investigation would be called, and likely U.A. would suffer for decades to come. "I mean, even though you are a hero institution, one that created All Might, Endeavor, and Best Jeanist, you would still lose massive credibility, especially when you can't actually prove anything."
"AH! I'm afraid that's where you're wrong, the camera recording, you overlooked the cameras." Nedzu thought he finally made Alcor slipped up, but the fact that Alcor did not react, filled him with dread. "Oh didn't I? In your mission to satisfy your curiosity, YOU overlooked something. I didn't mess with the camera live feed, only the recording function! True the word of a pro hero can bring you far, but only so far. And what would the media think, that the Principal of U.A. would have Quirkless 6 year old arrested for reportedly breaking into the school, when you have no real evidence. And what would people say if you claimed he has power, when there isn't an ounce of Quirk in his body? Is it the mad ramblings of an animal, or the truth? Humans are not the most intelligent creatures ever to exists, and likely never will be, but that does not mean you can win them over logic or passion. When presented with a near impossible reality, they will choose the easy route."
Nedzu was sweating heavily at this point, knowing he had all but lost to this man, but hopefully he could somehow remedy this. "Well, the m-missing p-parts from the workshop." "True but that would be even worse. Two people breaking in not because of intelligence gathering or malice, but to get some parts that would be difficult to find elsewhere. That unlikely story would only further cement my Apprentice's innocence."
Nedzu was not stupid, he knew when to concede, but he still wanted to keep an eye on young Izuku and the yellow eyed man, however little it may be. "I-I suppose we could just sweep this under the rug, in-in exchange for one thing." Alcor was intrigued, so motioned to the chimera to continue. "In exchange for not pursuing police action, and the theft of all those parts, I will grant young Midoriya here and yourself access to the Support course workshop, when only I'm present, and he will join U.A. as a student." Alcor was surprised, that the rodent would offer this, but instantly knew what this was, a pitiful attempt at trying to monitor the both of them, but the benefits far, far outweighed the risks. 'So you do know who Izuku is' "Very well, however, when it comes to it, my Apprentice will be the one to choose the course he wants not you nor me, and it will be his merits that get him in, no handouts. And you will disable the recording future of the cameras if we arrive in the future." Nedzu was relived at this, it was almost a certainty that Alcor was not abusing Izuku in any way, and simply wanted what was best for the child, but didn't like the stipulation about cameras. "Of course, I wouldn't dare think of it." "Good, because you don't know what I'm capable of and I can tear down any mental shields you try to construct even with the help of quirks." And like that Nedzu's fear came rushing back as his instincts not to piss off this powerful entity. "Y-y-y-ye-e-es-s-s, M-Mr. ?"
"Alcor, Mr. Nedzu." Nedzu once again paled, 'I never gave him my name, knowing who runs U.A. is considered a secret to the general public, it's why we don't allow public cameras on campus. H-He's telling the truth.' It was true, he didn't know what Alcor was capable of and didn't wish to know what horrors awaited him if he tried to rat out the yellow eyed man. "I-I think I need to r-retire to my bed, t-today was an exhausting day. Y-you too, young Midoriya." With that Nedzu walked away, still sweating profusely.
'Oh Nedzu,' Alcor thought, 'you played with fire and got third degree burns all over, you just can't feel them yet.' It was true, many years later, Nedzu would come to regret his decision to indulge to his curiosity as he helped to enable the Sith lord that Izuku Midoriya became.
"Master?" Alcor and Izuku had long left U.A. and went back outside in the crisp nighttime air. "Are you disappointed that you have to go to U.A.?" "N-No Master I wanted to always go there, it's just, I thought you were against Heroes in general." "Perhaps, but every course has it's advantages and disadvantages. If you take the Hero Course, you will get valuable combat experience, but eyes would almost constantly be on you. Taking the Support Course, means more time to create valuable tools, but if you stand out too much, people will start investigating into you. The Business course would give you experience and managing future allies, and resources, but that limits what you can learn. And the General course, means that you would be overlooked by everyone but Nedzu, however as I demonstrated that would not be much of an issue. But that means even less knowledge then Business Course."
"How did you manage to get away with that master?" Alcor smirked. "The key to a successful lie is when to know when to sprinkle in truth, however it did help that most of that conversation was truth. I did study your mother's law books." Izuku nodded to this as they arrived back at his home, Alcor's force compel working its magic on Inko. Izuku retired to his bed to quickly fall asleep, as Alcor smirked at Izuku before dissolving into red fog.
It was now the weekend, and Alcor, as well as his apprentice now were back in the underground space, about to reveal Izuku's new Synth-Crystals. "You ready apprentice?" Izuku took a deep breath, before nodding opening the enclosure holding his four crystals. When he opened it four small gems fell onto the floor. With a simple wave Alcor brought one to his eyes, to analyze, both in the force and physically. "Hmm, a little darker than I thought they would be, but that is a synthetic Adegan crystal all right. All right apprentice, for this next step, I cannot instruct you, only the force can guide you to correctly create a lightsaber." Izuku frowned by nodded before sitting on the ground cross-legged.
Slowly parts began to float out of the box containing lightsaber parts, as Izuku began to take the four crystals floating in the air. Alcor made a point of taking the second box to the corner he had been working on for ship schematics, as he allow Izuku to continued to create his lightsabers.
Time Skip*
And it was done. Laying on the floor was two lightsabers of equal length. Alcor came over to look. They were painted black with highlights of dark green and silver. The grip was a sandpaper texture for grip and the emitter was a two-pointed end extending out by half an inch. Izuku looked at his master before grabbing one of the lightsabers. "Careful, if you did it wrong, the lightsaber will explode!" "MATSER! Why did you say that, now all I could worry about is if I got it wrong!" "Oh, calm down, worse case, I heal you and we try again." Izuku didn't like that proposal but swallowed and turned on his saber closing his eyes.
"Well, how about that." Izuku opened his eyes and what greeted him was not a red saber with a white core, but instead a black core, red hue. Izuku could feel it resonate power and want to be used by him and him alone. He stared at the saber for what seemed like hours but, was in fact only mere moments. Quickly he scrambled to grab the other one, truing it on only to be greeted by the same color. "M-Master, did I do something wrong?"
Alcor shook his head in amusement, "No, quite the opposite actually, you a created a rare type of saber among force wielders, only a handful of Sith have ever used black core lightsabers in the past. I wonder if this means great things for you in the future?" Izuku looked at his master before turning of the saber, beginning the pommel ends of both sabers together. "What are you doing?" Izuku twisted both ends in opposite directs and simultaneously both ends lit up at the same time, as Izuku gave it a few experimental twirls. Alcor was in a rare moment of shock, "Y-you're using electromagnets to connect the two ends together, I didn't even create those, you made them yourself, in order to create a lightsaber that also doubles as a saberstaff, incredible. And because the power cells aren't in the pommel, even if the saber staff is cut in half, you can still use the two lightsabers." Alcor was overjoyed, this was a Sith apprentice that went above and beyond his own expectations, and he was only 6!
"Apprentice," Izuku detached the two parts, shutting the off, "tomorrow I step up your lightsaber training, you will begin to learn form III, Soresu , a defensive form of lightsaber combat, Single saber, JarˈKai or dual saber, and saberstaff training. But for now leave that behind, you need to get home." Izuku didn't want to leave his sabers but knew it would be dangerous if discovered.
"Izuku!" Ana screamed at him as he visited her that Saturday. "How are you doing? Did you do anything interesting since I last saw you?" Izuku began to delve into conversations of heroes, U.A. and other subjects but made sure not to let slip sensitive information. As they played heroes, Alcor remained at Izuku's home, still working on the ship. As Izuku studied under Alcor, went to school, and continued to be best friends with ana, his schedule was quite full and before he knew it he was nine years old.
Izuku slept as Alcor looked outside his window. 'I can feel it, two people are fighting, and they are aiming to kill each other. Individually they are immensely powerful, but because they are destroying themselves, they do not pose a threat present or future. Toshinori Yagi and Hisashi Shigaraki. All Might and All For One, interesting, however, what is odd, is this Yagi is clearly Force Sensitive, yet is fighting a Quirk filled man, on equal ground, without using force powers, the question is how?'
I know what you're thinking and NO! You stop that train of thought. Whether or not the Dad For One theory is correct has now bearing on this story what so ever. I needed a filler name for AFO and Hasashi made the most sense, after all two people can have the same name in MHA, look at Pixe-bob and Ryuku. However, if it is confirmed, I might twist that to my purposes, so until it's confirms in canon, assume it's not the case. Now as I said VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
