ivan1305as: Burning a planet to the ground would seem like something Vitiate or Vader would do. Ferno would see it as a waste.
Guest; A person: Child abuser yes, Alcor would classify as one. But then again, in our world, nearly every Jedi and Sith would classify as one. You ever watch Film theory and the videos regarding the Jedi Order?
Pedophile? No. Alcor is aromantic, meaning he can't form romantic connections with others. He still has sexual attraction but only to those who are adults. Usually ranging from 20 to 40ish. He derives no sexual pleasure from what he does to Darth Ferno.
Also, the uncomfortable scenes were Izuku's work, not really Alcor. And if you don't like them, then skip them. And besides, Darth Ferno sees it as revenge for seven years of physical abuse under Katsuki. Revenge to a Sith means something very different to you or me.
CraftClaw: Thank you for your words of support. It has been more than a month at this point but it's getting better. I hope you enjoy the next chapter.
So, I'm trying out a more consistent upload schedule. The problem is that I have multiple stories all happening at the same time. One Naruto, four My Hero Academia, one Avatar Last Airbender/Korra, one Star Wars, two crossover My Hero Academia; one Naruto the other Star Wars, one Danganronpa, and one Soul Eater crossover. That's nine stories. Not only that but I also have an Isekai Novel that I'm trying to write. I know, overhyped but I wanted to create my own world with my own rules rather then play by the rules of others' worlds. I'm going to have to find the time to balance it all.
Not only that but I have a game company idea. Three games are floating around my head, one like Portal Stories Mel, possibly named Aperture West, another titled Bioshock Underground, and the final is a GTA like game, different characters, mechanics and locations, but similar goal. Rockstar really doesn't like people copying their games, so it must be as different as possible. The issue is I can write storylines, I just don't know how to build games. I likely will be taking courses in using Unreal Engine 4 or Unity, seeing as their free engines with visual design rather than programming.
P.S. I now have a Discord Server. For my Fanfiction Net viewers, go to my Ao3 version of my story. Same Username. Fanfiction does not allow links so, yeah…
Darth Ferno smirked. In front of him was the entranceway for the UA testing facility. Smart, as you never know if a villain is hiding among the testers. Wouldn't want to give a layout of UA to them. Too bad somebody UA would consider to be worse was about to enter and get in. Of course, he didn't really need the layout of the school, considering his own jaunts when he was younger with his master, but a remapping wouldn't hurt to have.
Apparently, he was so occupied with his thoughts that he never noticed the rock in in front of him, tripping. 'Well, that's going to hurt when I fall, but at least it was outside of combat that I made such a mistake. Wait…why have I stopped falling?' The greenette turned his head upwards towards giggling.
"Are you okay?" A rosy cheeked, brown-haired girl asked the Sith Lord in disguise. "I'm glad I got you, that fall looked like it might hurt." Once he was standing upright, the girl pressed her two hands together.
"Perfectly fine. Can I ask what exactly you just did?" The quirk nerd part of Izuku was very curious.
"Yeah, my quirk, Zero Gravity. I nullify gravity when I touch something with all five fingers." She raised her hand and flexed the fingers. Tiny, darkened spots of skin could be seen on the tips. "It's not a super impressive ability, and if I go over my limit, I do hurl. But I'm proud of my quirk."
"Are you kidding? Gravity Negation is one of the most powerful quirks I've ever seen and I spend nearly all my free time analyzing quirks. I mean, it's no All Might strength, but that quirk is easy top ten hero worthy. You could be one of the greatest rescue and combat heroes of all time." Ferno froze, remembering something. "Ah forgive me, where are my manners. My name is Izuku Midoriya, I personally prefer if people use my given name rather than my family name, so call me Izuku."
The girl smiled, practically mimicking the sun's intensity. "Oh, Ochako Uraraka. If I'm calling you Izuku, you can call me Ochako." Izuku looked like he wanted to argue, but a look on Ochako's face killed that argument. "I have a question. What did you mean by Combat AND Rescue? I thought that heroes only had a broad category."
"Actually, hero types are more specialized than one might think. If you want a general listing of category, then there are three. Spotlight, heroes in rankings, Limelight, heroes that do not care about rankings but operate during day hours, and Underground, heroes that keep their identity secret more often than not and operate purely at night, when crime is the highest." Ochako looked like she got it, so the darksider continued. "Now there are more specialized lists of heroes. Combat heroes are people like Mount Lady, Miruko and even Endeavor. While all heroes save people these people are combat oriented first and foremost, meaning their task is to take down a villain ASAP without much regard to damage of property or on the villain's body. Fat Gum and Cementoss are Protection Heroes, those who defend civilian lives first and attack later. They are often confused with Recuse Heroes. Backdraft and Thirteen are examples of Recuse Heroes. They recuse those in danger first and worry about villains to others unless they themselves need to step in. Next are the Capture Heroes. They grab and catch villains efficiently and with minimal damage, knocking the perpetrator out quickly. Kamui Woods, Snatch, and Tiger from Wild Wild Pussy Cats are prime examples of these. And Intelligence Heroes or Support Heroes are usually those who support from the rear lines, Sir Nighteye for example."
"Oh wow, you're so knowledgeable." She was gushing at Izuku's intelligence. "Are there any other types of Heroes?"
"Sort of, there are mixed types of Heroes. For instance, All Might is a Rescue and Combat Hero. His primary task is to save lives, then stop villains. Most Underground Heroes are Capture, Combat and Rescue, with a few specializing in Information and Support roles. Limelight Heroes are usually a mix of all the roles." Ochako had stars in her eyes. "Fun fact, most of UA's Faculty are considered Limelight Heroes as they never bothered to appear on the popularity chart."
"Oh my god! UA! We need to get inside otherwise we might miss the exam." She turned and started to run. "I hope we pass and end up in the same class!" She called out to him.
"I do to!" Darth Ferno called out to her. 'That was fun, having somebody actually listen to my geek talk. Not to mention was also adorably cute.' He paused. 'Wait, where did that come from?!'
The soul fragment of Darth Alcor froze from what he was doing. He felt something. 'What was that?' He waited a moment to see if the feeling came back. 'Must have been my imagination.'
'I want to put in my definition of power, but I don't think it would be quite heroic enough.' Ferno told himself as he looked at a particular question. 'Eh, I'll just put in something along the lines of Power is made to protect not to covet. I'm pretty sure that's what UA was going for.'
The young Sith Lord was breezing though the questions and when he arrived at the essay portion, he wrote what others might think of as heroic. No point in showing his hand early. He finished and with 30 minutes to spare. As it turns out, he might have been the first one to finish.
He got up and handed his test to the proctor, the Voice Hero: Present Mic. "Done already little listener?" The teen nodded. "It's rare for somebody to finish this early. Why don't you go get yourself a drink and use the restroom. Just be back in a half hour."
Darth Ferno nodded as he left to do so, planning his next steps for the physical portion of the exam. As he left the room a hero in a dark suit walked past him. 'Eraserhead.' It was Ferno's only thought as he went to the restroom.
Eraserhead however, kept a trained eye on the young boy until he was out of sight. 'That kid, have I seen him somewhere before? Meh, I'll think about it later.' Despite being healed up, a phantom pain of an old injury decided to show up. The Underground Hero grimaced before walking away. The phantom pains were common for him. After all, it's not every day you get stabbed in the gut by a laser sword.
With a few minutes to spare Izuku got back to his seat. He waited patiently for then test to be called. "Alright, time is up listeners." Some groans could be heard out. "Now don't worry, the test isn't graded primarily on how many you finished but how many you got correct, and how detailed they are. Those who were unable to finish in the allotted time still have a shot of getting in so it's all good. And hey, I'll let you in on a little secret, I was unable to finish the last five question of my exam and I still got in, so let's see some cheerful faces.
That seemed to lower the tension as tests were collected in this very large pile up front. "Now after this explanation, you will all be given 15 minutes to do whatever you need to, use the bathroom, get a snack, or just generally hang out. Afterwards we will be loading up into designated busses to one of four testing sites."
"Now, without further ado, can I get a 'YEAHHHHHH!'?" Pure silence. It almost made the Sith present crack up in laughter, almost. "Eh, that's okay. Now the primary objective is very straightforward. On screen behind me, you will see three villain robots. Each have a numerical value attached. The points are directly proportional to how tough the robots are, so pick your battles. Those who gather the highest of points have the best shot of getting in."
A hand raised at a perfect 180-degree angle. Mic pointed to the hand. "Hit me!"
"Sir, on the pamphlet, I count four villain robots, yet you have only mentioned three. If this is an error, it's a terrible one for a prestigious academy such as UA to commit. Additionally," The blue-haired kid who spoke turned to the most dangerous individual in the room. "You with the unkempt hair. You look bored and have been acting nonchalant about this. If you're not going to take this seriously, that I ask for you to leave. It's distracting the rest of us." For a split second, Tenya Iida thought he saw green eyes flash amber but considering nobody else reacted, he thought he imagined it. Though it did give him a sense of foreboding.
'First chance I get, I'm making sure he trips on his own foot.' Ferno darkly thought. He couldn't kill anyone, but he could cause them some pain.
"I was just getting to that." Present Mic pulled the conversation away. "The fourth villain is more of an obstacle. It has no purpose and doesn't even have a point attached to it. It's better to just ignore the Zero Pointer and move on."
The force rang in Ferno's ear. 'So, what he said about the Zero Pointer was a lie. It does serve a purpose; the question is what?'
"I'll see some of you at the physical exam site." The hero grabbed a large stack of the testes, likely to be taken for grading and left though a door by the stage.
Darth Ferno had a thought. 'Didn't he say our PRIMARY task is to destroy robots? What's our other goal? Hmm, I wonder…'
"What's Up! Can I get a YEAHHHHHH!" The first time was funny, the second time was just sad. "Alright, so behind these doors lays a battlefield shaped like a city. Try to take out as many robots as you can and if possible, keep damage down. We don't deduct points for destroying buildings, but it does get expensive."
The young Sith looked around to give a brief study on all the other students. Aside from a few the others looked weak and pitiful. If he had to guess maybe ten are worthy of entering but not anymore than that. He then noted Ochako looking around nervously. Normally he wouldn't encourage the enemy, but he needs to act heroic, who knows who was watching. But before he could say hi a hand grabbed him.
"That girl is trying to focus, and you want to distract her." Great, the uptight ass is here. "Do you intend to bring others down? You scoundrel."
'What use would I have to, never mind.' "I was simply going to give her words of encouragement, now if you don't-" A loud voice cut in.
"All right everybody, take your places!"
Darth Ferno took a stance near the front, looking into the miniature city that UA had built, labeled testing ground B. He was ready to go at a moment's notice.
"Go!" The voice hero called out unexpectedly for everyone, but Ferno who sensed the intent.
That was his que to (metaphorically) fly and so he did. The voice of the present hero calling out to the others who looked in surprise. Ferno then crushed a Two-Pointer in the head. 'Odd, One for All took a moment to come forward. Usually, it's instantaneous. Hmm, I'll have to investigate it later, for now, time to get some frustration out.'
"That kid with the explosions is taking those robots down fast." One of the faculty said.
"My money's on the pink girl melting all the robots." Another interrupted.
While much of the staff made bets, the heroics teachers, mainly Aizawa, Vlad King, Cementoss, Ectoplasm, and All Might watched silently.
'Go young Midoriya, show them your resolve!' All Might silently cheered for his student.
"Personally, I'm interested in the greed haired kid with the green and black lightning coursing off his body." A soft voice broke though peoples' arguments and All Might's thoughts. "He takes great care not to cause damage to the soundings, and towards other applicants."
All the staff focused on Izuku. "Hmm, he does have potential." Aizawa said, "How many points does he have so far?"
"According to this, he is sitting at 39 points. At the rate he's going, he's going to get in at around 50 points." A red button appeared in front of Nedzu, the one who spoke. "All Might, as the newest staff, would you like to have a shot?"
All Might nodded his head, before pressing down on the button. 'Go PLUS ULTRA young Midoirya.'
"TWO MINUTES REMAIN" Mic's voice on the loudspeaker called out.
'Forty-two, Forty-three, Forty-Five.' Ferno thought to himself as he crushed two more robots. His body was feeling the effects of 10 percent all over. It was staring to take a toll. 'Need to keep going. On the battlefield, nobody will show me mercy because I get a little tired. Keep going you failure of a Sith.'
A rumble interrupted his internal pep-talk. A ten-story high robot, with a zero painted on its chest, rose from the ground. 'What the kriffing hell? What is that, some sort of anime fight bot? You know what, no, I want to know who authorized for that to go against fourteen and fifteen-year-old teens.'
Darth Ferno took a step back. Sometimes you must pick and choose your battles, and without the force and his lightsabers, he can't really bring the Zero Pointer down.
"Ow." A familiar voice cried out in pain.
Darth Ferno looked to see Ochako buried under some rubble, trying to remove it with her quirk, but not fast enough. Normally, he wouldn't sacrifice himself for others, but A, he needed to look heroic, and B, a small part of himself felt like he owed her a debt. He wanted to question the second thought but chose not to in lieu of running towards the Robot.
"What are you doing? It's far to dangerous to run towards that thing!" The blue haired boy from earlier called to Izuku as he ran past. "You're going to get hurt. I'm certain that UA would not allow death to befall a student."
Ferno didn't care. "Guess I'm being a hero." With that Izuku jumped as high as he could with 10 percent and pushed 75 percent of One for All into his left arm and pulled back before throwing it forward. "SMAAAAASSSSHHHHHH!"
In the hidden base Alcor frowned. 'My apprentice has done something incredibly stupid; I can feel it. Not to mention that weird ping again, where is that coming from?'
The UA staff looked in shock, save for All Might who had a giant smile on his face. Nedzu was the first to get over his shock.
"All Might, is…" The confirmation hum was all Nedzu needed to settle his suspicions.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow at the silent communication.
'Oh, Sith hells, I can't use the force to stop my descent and 10 percent won't allow me to save myself, what do I do? His left arm flapped in the wind as his mind went into overdrive. 'No choice, got to use All Might's Detroit Smash to create enough air pressure, my right arm will have to be sacrificed, but at least I can still fight with my legs.' As Ferno gathered the power up, just to let it loose, a hand slapped him in the face and his gravity was negated.
Ferno was let on the ground slowly, as Ochako released her quirk. "You know Ochako, I think we're going to be trading life debts for a while."
"Yea-Hurkk." Was all she could muster before throwing up.
As time was called, Darth Ferno had an afterthought. 'I was falling nearly 45 kph, how did I slow down? Gravity Nullification wouldn't have stopped me because I would keep momentum, and there certainly wasn't enough air friction to do the job.' He took another look at Ochako. 'Wait, her quirk, it's not gravity nullification, it's gravity manipulation. That's…unbelievable. I've never heard of somebody being capable of manipulating gravity like her. Master certainly never mentioned any Sith that could manipulate gravity.'
Darth Ferno felt respect and admiration for Ochako. 'I need to get her on my side, otherwise she will be one of my greater threats.' As he looked up towards the sky, and Recovery Girl engulfed his vison he never questioned why he didn't consider the obvious solution of killing her.
Alcor frowned. 'Something is wrong with Lord Ferno. These pings I've been getting, they're, unsettling. Whatever it is, I need to investigate, AND CUT IT OUT!' The problem was the darkside was offering no solutions at this time and was trying to get him to remain patient.
"It's irrational." The other faculty stopped cheering and looked at Eraserhead. "On one hand the boy has been half-assing this test. That power against the Zero Pointer proves it. But on the other hand, it's like his power is too much and spent barely any training on it. How he thought he could be a hero by coasting along life with a powerful quirk is beyond me.
All Might looked like he wanted to say something, Nedzu beating him to it. "Oh, does that mean you mean to take him and expel him?" The silence was damning enough. "I'm sorry Aizawa, but there are extenuating circumstances that would prevent you from doing so."
"Extenuating circumstances?"
"I'm sorry, but it's not my place to tell." Nedzu turned to the skeleton in the room. "You could ask Yagi here about them but I doubt he would answer.
All Might froze in shock. 'Did he just put me on the spot, what do I do, WHAT DO I DO?'
"Repeat after me…" A distorted, whisper like voice spoke to All Might, who subconsciously mimicked the words of the voice.
"About, ten months ago, I ran into the boy as Yagi." A few eyebrows were raised, but nothing was suspicious. "I saw something in him, something that could become a hero, and took him under my metaphorical wing. At the time, he and I both thought he was Quirkless."
"Wait, what?" Aizawa was confused. 'If that's Quirkless I call BS.'
All Might's semi-fabricated story continued. "He had the toe joint and everything. But as it turns out he was one the rare few to possess a quirk despite his toe joint. We didn't even find out until two months ago." It was very uncommon for those with the toe joint to possess quirks, but it did rarely happen.
Midnight hummed. "How much power was he using during the exam?"
"With some work, we were able to find that he was able to use 10% with some slight discomfort, but no pain. So, against normal robots that was all he was using." Some people leaned forward to hear better. If ten percent could get you in the top 20 on the point scale, how much did he use on the Zero Pointer? "As for the obstacle. It was hard to tell though the monitors, but I'd say, maybe 70 to 80 percent?"
"Why did it take so long for a powerful quirk like that to show?" Some heads turned to Aizawa. It was a reasonable question.
"About that, we have a working theory. When he first used his quirk, all the bones in his arm shattered." Everyone flinched at the mental image. "The thought is that his body wasn't capable of containing it quite yet, so had to build up his body first before he could use the quirk without risking his life. Like mental limiters."
That seemed to satisfy Aizawa. "Fine. If 10 percent is what he's capable of, then I expect him to reach 30 percent by six months. I think that's fair." All Might tried to argue against the Underground Pro. "I'm not going to waste time on a kid who's years behind his peers. It's sink or swim All Might."
Aizawa got up and left the room, leaving the others stupefied. Nedzu then turned back towards the screen, humming in thought.
"Principal Nedzu, are you alright?" Cementoss asked his boss.
"Whenever I look on Young Midoriya's face, I feel like I'm forgetting something." Nedzu muttered as he too got up and left. Wasn't that a scary thought. Nedzu had near perfect memory, for him to forget something, it gave a collective sense of foreboding.
When Darth Ferno woke up from his exhaustion, his first stop was home, to reassure his mother and little brother. They tackled him as soon as he entered.
"My Baby!"
"Big Brother!"
It took practically forever for them to calm down, especially since Inko was informed by phone call about Izuku's broken arm. While Recovery Girl had healed the appendage, a week of physical rest for the arm was recommended. It was fine by Ferno, as he could use the practice of using levitation without the movement of arms. Apparently, he was just powerful enough to do so, while most would have to use gestures to increase control.
Darth Ferno was confident he got in. He compared his score to previous years and ranked right in the middle. While his pride didn't like that, flying under the radar was instrumental in learning as much as possible. A sacrifice to be sure but a worthy one.
After dark came around, and after Inko and Oliver fell asleep, he snuck out though his window, wearing his hood, but not his armor or mask. Eraserhead might have tipped off other underground pros about them, so while a teen in a hood looks suspicious, it's not really something to be worried about.
However the lack of armor and helmet was still a problem, one Mei was trying to fix desperately. She wanted to create a chest and mouthpiece that allowed for the expansion of body armor and a mask respectively. It took a while, but she was able to get the mask/mouthpiece working. The chest piece however, that was another issue entirely. She made very little progress with the tools and techniques provided to her and she's getting very frustrated.
Although she does have an invention she wanted to pass on. Very ambiguous about the tool in question and when asked all she said was to help keep an identity secret.
Darth Ferno arrived at the nearly completed ship. He still didn't understand why Alcor is putting off certain parts, but with One for All needing time to learn and master, Darth Ferno was appreciative of the extra time. Bonus, he now had his own personal room, as the ship's owner. Alcor didn't need a room, and Mei decided to put a bed in the workroom she had claimed. Now the underground base simply acted as storage, for when they gathered furniture, parts, computers or large projects.
He entered the ship and took off his hood, letting go of any restraint. He eyes returned to their now usual color of Amber. His first stop, to report to his master, who likely was meditating at this time. He entered the training room of the ship, Alcor's holocron sitting in the center.
The Holocorn opened without prompt and Darth Ferno bowed to his Sith Master. "Rise Lord Ferno. How goes your infiltration into UA?"
The apprentice stood up and looked into Alcor's eyes. "I am certain to have passed the Entrance exam and will be in the Hero Track. As for which class, I am not certain, but I do predict it will be an eventful group."
"Good. Aside from Nedzu, is there anyone who stands out to you a potential threat."
"A handful of the students that I have encountered do seem like minor threats, but that is only if I let my guard down around them. As far as I can tell, none of them are truly worthy of attention, as they do not posses power equal to the force." Alcor narrowed his eyes for a moment, before relaxing. "I did however note a UA staff member."
"Oh, are they a potential threat?"
"In terms of combat, no. But Eraserhead has encountered me before and could unravel my identity before I am ready to revel myself."
Alcor hummed. "Only if you give off too many mannerisms. Keep some self-control and you'll be fine. Is there anyone else of note?"
Darth Ferno took a moment, contemplating if he should mention the girl with gravity manipulation as a quirk before choosing to remain silent. "No there is no one else who would be a threat, combat or plan wise."
Alcor nodded his head, not noticing the lie. "I believe Mei had something for you. Go check on her." Ferno turned to leave. "Afterwards, try entering your own mental scape, you might find a surprise there."
Darth Ferno raised an eye in confusion before shrugging leaving to go to Mei's workshop. A muffled boom was heard as he approached the doorway. 'Insulating the room with sound dampeners was a good call.'
Darth Ferno triggered the force switch for the door, taking a step in. He waved his good hand in the air, dispersing some smoke in his face. He looked at the pink haired girl on the ground.
"Hi there Lord Ferno. Sorry 'bout the mess." Mei said as she looked up, her faced covered in some soot.
"You're lucky your lab has its own dedicated air purifier and filter, otherwise you would have died of carbon monoxide at this point." Darth Ferno bit out in a drawl. "Master says you have something for me?"
"Ah yes!" She quickly got up, excited to showcase her new baby. She went to a desk on the side of her room and pulled up a piece of metal that had folds and groves in it. "This baby is a blood extractor and storage device."
"Annnndddd, that means what exactly?"
"Well, I noted you have that weird cloning ability."
Mei was talking about the Sith Sorcery, Blood Clone. It was a force intensive piece of art, pioneered by a Sith many millennia ago. He died in combat, but Alcor was able to replicate the ability to a degree of success. For Alcor, when he was flesh and blood, it used a cup of blood to create one physical copy. It would last for 24 hours before running out of blood to maintain its form, thus it dissolved. Darth Ferno shared the same limitation.
The first thing to note was the clone is only half the strength of the user in question. Not in physical strength but in the force. A second weakness that was found, the clone could not copy the quirks of the user or blood used. Alcor and Ferno even tested on Mei's blood and the quirk zoom wasn't copied.
The third thing to note is the version of the sorcery used by Alcor and his apprentice is only a third as powerful as the original user. They could create three clones from one cup, and have them last as long as 24 hours, or have a single clone last 72 hours. A shame, as a long-lasting clone could be very helpful in the underworld, but you make do with what you are given sometimes.
"Yes, I am aware." Darth Ferno replied.
"Well, you place this on your lower back, using some straps to keep it in place. When you press this button, it extracts blood mid battle, and fills up a folding canister. It allows you to create a clone mid battle to assist or…" Ferno cut her off.
"Or have the clone assume the identity of Sith Lord, while the user remains in plain view, proving that they can't be the Sith in question. THAT'S BRILLIANT!" Darth Ferno was genuine in his praise. Prior he had to prepare by safely drawing blood beforehand, but now he could do so at a moments notice. No one could get the drop on him, and he could keep masquerading as an innocent hero student.
Mei blushed a little. "Oh please, anyone with enough smarts could make this baby, I just did it first."
"And that's exactly why you are our most important assets and not somebody else. Tell me, is this a prototype or the finished product."
"Sort of in the middle. I should be done with the final product in about a month. Considering UA doesn't start for another two, that gives you time to get used to it."
Darth Ferno smiled. "Don't let me stop you." He turned before pausing. "Oh, and make sure to go home at a reasonable time, otherwise your parents might ask questions." He said as he left, closing the entryway behind him.
'Time to go home.'
Darth Ferno slid his fingers under the slightly open window of his bedroom. Considering he was a few stories up, it did look odd, but he chose a moment when nobody would be looking to do so. He took off his cloak folding it and hiding it deep under his bed.
The room he lived in got progressively less All Might themed since he was 11. While it still had a poster, and a few bobble head, Inko had determined it to be Izuku simply growing up and becoming more mature. In a way, she was right, just not the same definition of mature.
Izuku pulled out his laptop, checking his email, before spending a little time indulging his habit of quirk analysis. Then it was time to find out what Alcor had meant. The Dark Side was very adamant of him going within his mental scape, and he honestly didn't know what to except. He could sense it wasn't dangerous, but it would be important.
He locked his door, and took up a meditation position on the rug, before delving into his own mind. It was the first time he would ever do so without Alcor's guidance or obstruction.
He didn't expect this when he entered his own mind. Eight entities immediately taking up defensive stances against him, with a ninth smiling like he just won the jack pot and planned to take over the world. The nine in question, all looked different. The one who was off by himself was dressed in a nice suit, with no tie. He had slightly spiky white hair with red eyes. Despite his calm demeanor the individual looked ready to jump at the eight others.
The first was a sickly-looking white-haired man with blue eyes, a Katsuki lookalike standing next to him with a determined face. Darth Ferno hated the lookalike immediately.
Next to the prior entity was a pineapple hired man, with the same determined look on his face. A stringy white-haired man stood next to him, the most striking feature about him being the cracks that ran along down one side of his face. He also looked to be very well built. Another was bald with military themed gear on his person. Despite the instinctual thought of him being a dumbass, Ferno knew he was important.
Darth Ferno immediately knew who the one next to the bald guy was. En, the smokescreen hero, who had died nearly sixty years prior. He was cited as the inspiration for Best Jeanist's look, who wanted to hide his own physical deformation and discovered some old videos. Whenever En used his smokescreen, he always took down Villains faster than the smoke cleared. The interesting thing was many villains would have bruises on their bodies. Some suspected he had a super strength aspect to his quirk, but nobody could prove it.
Then there was the Yellow Glow of what Darth Ferno could call, a sliver of All Might's soul. The one who stood in front of Ghost Might was Nana Shimura. A late pro hero who was mentioned by All Might to be his own mentor. It wasn't long before Darth Ferno released who they were.
"I wasn't expecting One for All to come with this, but I can certainly make use of it." Darth Ferno smiled; eyes glowing fierce. Aside from the man in the suit, the vestiges all nervously gulped.
Darth Ferno meets the vestiges, plus Ghost Might. He can't really be classified as one, seeing as he's a soul fragment, but whatever. Now I'm sure that you are going to wonder how this plays out and I would love to tell you but for now, I need to keep quiet. I will say a few things. I'm skipping the acceptance letter scene in favor of the next chapter.
Aside from the 45 Villain Points, Izuku earned 55 Hero Points, five less than in canon. That gives him an even 100 points, taking second place record from Endeavor who had 97 total points. All Might had 104, earning him top record.
After the next chapter Darth Ferno and the Vestiges as well as the beginning of UA, I'm going to have an intermission chapter of sorts. Darth Sidious vs Darth Alcor. Spoiler alert, Sidious not being a master himself, gets his ass kicked. But the point of the chapter is to introduce the Flesh and Blood Alcor's character, and his unique abilities and tools. Spoiler, the soul fragment Alcor and the Flesh Alcor are so far apart in personality and experience, it's probably easier to rank them as sperate people.
People have noted my old version of grammar was terrible. I hope this version is an improvement for others. I plan to eventually go back and reorganize all my old chapters from all my stories.
