So, I had an idea recently, that takes Age of Calamity, throw in MHA, and tries to make it unique. Originally I had a completely different plot and setup idea, but it was overly messy and convoluted and with a different character. So I hope you enjoy it!
From the depths of a castle under siege, a loud roar is heard, a roar of pain and anger. A roar that speaks of a monster on its last leg, near-death or defeat, one of the two. Going into the castle shows a group of six warriors, facing down a giant purple-red being, with the shape of a human, but not human at the same time. This being is Calamity Ganon.
"Now! One final push!" The blonde-haired woman shouts, encouraging her allies for one final attack. The allies roar in agreement and begin pushing against the giant monster, who realizes that it is going to lose. It roars at them in anger, summoning its own Gate of Time, something it learned when it controlled Terrako. Realizing it doesn't have enough time to set a specific time, it decides to send a majority of it through the portal, as its remanents are destroyed by its enemies' final attack. The portal closes, without them knowing of the escape, of Calamity Ganon.
Over time, the legend of Calamity Ganon, Hyrule, and its people were lost, and when the planet was struck by a massive meteor, all signs of its existence was destroyed, nothing of connection to it currently remains. Even though Hyrule was lost to time, evil never rested, nor did the Curse of Demise. Every generation, there was an evil individual that was born in the world, to try and destroy it, to avenge Demise, even if they never knew it.
This lasted for several thousand years until the rise of Quirks.
Quirks changed everything about the world, Heros became numerous, villains as well.
But Calamity Ganon wasn't lost. He, like Terrako, went through time his a Gate of Time. The main difference is that Ganon didn't have time to plan a time and location to appear in, and combined with his near-dead state, it's no surprise that he couldn't have picked a different time period to end up in.
Though, Izuku Midoriya, quirkless and deemed a useless Deku by Katsuki, would say otherwise.
Pain, that's the first thing I note when I finally exit that accursed portal. Then again, face planting into the ground doesn't make it any better.
I start to push myself up, only to collapse in exhaustion. Fantastic, I am near death, and combined with the fact that I had to sacrifice the parts that would have helped me in this scenario, I am fucked.
I lift my head up, hearing footsteps coming near me, and I growl in pain and annoyance. The footsteps stop before I hear a childish voice whisper out "Deku's first!" before what looks like a spiky blond-haired kid shoves a green-haired, green-eyed in front of me, before fleeing.
I growl slightly, at both the boy and the kid who shoved him in front of me. I once again, try to get up, only to fail. I start to feel my life force draining, and I know my time is up.
Growling myself in anger, I realize I have one choice now, to make sure my power doesn't get lost. Before the boy can react, I grab his head and shove into him my power over malice, and some knowledge on how to use and control it, making it live on, and to make sure the cycle doesn't end. I watch as the flames of Malice enter him, covering him in a cacoon of Malice, empowering him with it, and making him my heir.
As the last bit of power enters him, I collapse, and for once in my life, I feel at peace. How Ironic, a being of Malice and Rage incarnate finally knowing some peace as I die. I do wonder what happened to my original form, as I slowly fade away, my body turning into ash as I die.
For over ten minutes, the cacoon of Malice surrounds the boy, keeping him locked in as the power continues to flow into him, changing the tips of his hair to a purple like the flames, his body slowly absorbing the flames at a slow, careful rate. The flames slowly die down, leaving a small cowl of flame around his neck, of the same color.
Not much on the outside changed for the boy, but the inside is a different story. Now, the Malice lives inside of him, ready to be used by him, as well as making sure his body can handle its power, as he is still young.
Over the course of an hour, the boy's body subtly changes, to be able to house, contain, and control the power he was forcibly given, and finally, he wakes up.
"Oww. My head, body, everything." the boy moans out in pain, rubbing his head. He lifts his head, revealing eyes that are no longer a full green, but instead the Iris has a small circle of purple-red, akin to the flames that engulfed him. "Where the big man go?" the boy mutters to himself, confused.
The boy gets up, moving his head around, confused about where the man went. He then looks down, to see a pile of ash in front of him, about the same size and general shape as the man.
"Did... Did his quirk do that? But he grabbed me and sent something into meidontgetit" The boy proceeds to enter into a confused mutter ramble, trying to make sense of what he has seen, until it clicks for him when he sees a tip of his hair lower into his eyesight. "Did... Did he do something to me? If I am correct, he d-d-d-died in front of me, but why, who was he, and what was his quirk? Was he a villain, a hero, or someone unlucky- Oww!" A branch falls on the muttering boy, knocking him out of his mutters, as he looks up to see the sun is lower than he remembered.
It takes a second, but it occurs to him that he needs to be home soon. The boy starts to run, only to stop due to the pain, and just has to walk home instead.
Unknown to the boy, when that branch hit him, he released some purple mud, that stuck to the branch, and became encased in it.
"Mom, I'm home!" The boy announces as he enters the house, for a slightly pudgy, but not too much, green-haired women to look over at him.
"Hey Izuku," Inko pauses, looking at him closely, confused at something. "Honey, what happened to you?" The slight differences threw off Inko at first, but the voice and mannerisms made her positive that it was Izuku she was looking at, even he looks different slightly.
"Uhh," Izuku hesitates, not wanting to answer, as he isn't sure what to say, and doesn't want to get Kaachan in trouble. "Nothing."
Inko just looks at Izuku, not believing him for a second. "Izuku, you know I love you, but I want you to be honest with me. What. Happened." she says, her voice entering dangerous territory, that speaks of less than pleasant things.
Izuku shuffles nervously, unsure of how to explain what happened, as he doesn't fully know what happened, as his flame cowl flickers slightly. "I was playing with Kaachan, when we found a big guy. He grabbed my head, and then everything went blank. I then woke up, to see the big man as a pile of ash." Izuku says slowly, unsure of how to put it together for it to not sound weird.
Inko just started as Izuku for a few minutes, before she faints.
"MOM!" Izuku screams, running up to her, to try and wake her up.
"Young man, quite frankly, you have turned everything we know about quirks upside down. I don't know if you are the one in a trillion exception to the rule, or if you just happen to be lucky." Izukus doctor roughly says, pointing at an x-ray of Izukus's foot with a stick. "Here's the thing, you have a second joint in your pinkie toe, yet you have a quirk. That much is clear, as you by technicality, should be quirkless." The doctor then starts waving his left hand in a so-so motion, "Then again, we know so little about quirks, that quite frankly, you could just be unlucky to have something most quirked people don't have. So congrats, you have a quirk Izuku." The doctor finishes, pushing the glasses up while looking at the mother-son duo.
"I... I have my own quirk." Izuku looks shell-shocked, looking at his own hands, unbelieving that this is happening to him. Though, unnoticed by both the doctor and Inko, Izukus eyes change to a glassy version of themselves, as if saying he isn't there at the moment. Inko on the other hand, looks more concerned than anything, looking at the doctor.
"I thought you couldn't have a quirk, and a second toe joint." Inko's confusion is so obvious, only a gullible fool who only cares about food could miss it.
"Yes, and I said it possible that he may be just an exception to the rule. I can't say for sure, and I don't think we have the technology to actually find out, as that kind of stuff is far beyond anyone currently. But for all intent, it is HIS quirk. What it is, is hard to say. It's not true fire or mud that he can produce, but it looks ad acts like both, to a degree.
Izuku summons some of the purple mud-like substance, and he gets thought of its name. "Malice." Izuku robotically says, much to the concern of Inko. The doctor, on the other hand, seems intrigued.
"Malice huh? Maybe your quirk is a Calamity of sorts." The doctor chuckles. But he stops, when Izuku, in all his glassy-eyed state, looks at the doctor.
"My quirk. Call it, Calamity."
I know, I post this and leave it on a cliff hanger, when I already have a Doom/MHA crossover being worked on, a PJO/LOZ crossover, a Terraria story, a Megaman Story, a rewrite of an older, worse story, a Dragon Ball story, and an Interspecies Review/LOZ crossover.
Now I make this. I had the idea, and thought 'Most people give Izuku a cool power from other universes, why not take it literally, and spice it up a bit.
Now, I don't plan on having a villain Izuku story, instead, a more dark hero due to obvious reasons.
I just noticed it's short, but like most stories, my first chapter is the 'trying something' chapter.
I hope you enjoyed this, and you don't get mad at the cliffhanger, and the fact I made ANOTHER story.
Have a good day/night, everyone!
