Izuku Midoryia was not having a good day, first his Limited Edition All Might 5th
Anniversary alarm clock did not wake him up on time, then he had to deal with the unfortunate side effects of being quirkless, but that was every day so Izuku could manage, but no it seems Bakugo decided to antagonize him today. Hearing the explosive blond's loud shouts really made Izuku dread turning around.
"Oi Deku!" Bakugo loudly shouted. Grabbing Deku's shoulder he turned that nerd around and yanked the book he was holding from his grasp. "Hero Analysis for the Future #12" and started flipping pages. "I know that you are a weak, pathetic, loser but, you will never have a quirk, let alone one as amazing as mine."Bakugo cruelly smirked "I know that you were writing about me again Deku" Bakugo exclaimed, god how he hated everything about the quirkless loser.
"N-n-n-now l-lets n-not do a-anything here K-Kacchan" Izuku said through his stutter, he nervously tried to grab the notebook back before a sudden explosion to his face made him fall backward.
Bakugo's smirk signaled to Izuku that he had in fact found his page. "What's this? You still can't stand the fact you don't have as good a quirk as me…Is that it Deku?" Before Izuku could manage to say anything another explosion blew the book in two. "Stop writing about me in that damn diary of yours Deku! Or else I will give you a full showcase of what I can do!" the threat lingered in the air before Bakugo made a small "tch" sound before stomping on the notebook and walking away.
Izuku watched his "friend" disappear around the corner before carefully picking up what was left of his notebook. A small sigh escaped Izukus's mouth before dusting himself off and start walking home. "Kacchan is right, he doesn't deserve to be in Hero Analysis" thought Izuku "Hero's should make people feel better" Izuku decided he would not do any homework today and just take the day off.
Finally making it home Izuku looked around for his mom before noticing a sticky note on the fridge reading "Working the late shift at the store. Will be home late" A small smile crept on Izuku's face, not only did he not have to make up an excuse for the mark on his face courtesy of Kacchan but now he can go to the beach. Scribbling a note reading "Went to Dagoba beach, already did homework" Izuku started his journey to the beach only stopping at the convenience store to grab a snack and talk to Mrs. Chen, the sweet older Chinese lady who ran the store.
Arriving at Dagoba Beach Izuku went to the little clearing he made through the trash a few months ago. Settling down Izuku let his mind wander as he watched the calming waves "If I was a hero what would my hero name be? Mini Might… no that's dumb….Might Guy…no that is even worse" Izuku continued to sit there and before long the stars started poking through the golden sky. "I suppose I should be getting back home" Izuku mumbled but before he got up he watched a strange sight. A shooting star broke in half before going almost 2 opposite directions. "That was kinda cool" Izuku thought to himself "Wait arent to supposed to wish on a star? I guess I wish for a quirk" Letting himself have one more glance at the water and then at where the shooting star came from Izuku started walking back home.
In the middle of a small crater miles away from Izuku, a small partially destroyed rock started cooling down now that it was not burning up in the ozone. Slowly oozing out of the rock came a slime-like creature that was pitch black except for a few white veins scattered around its body. The creature seemed to look around before sensing movement to its left. "Host…..Need….Host….." Sensing a small rodent it sent a pitch-black tendril to the rodent and slowly the rodent absorbed all of the black goop giving the alien substance control over its body. The alien, now equipped with movement had one more thought "Need…..New…Host" With a squeak the grubby little rat started marching towards the noisy city, searching for a better host.
The past few weeks have been stressful for Izuku, not only has he not had any time to go to the beach, the school was trying to overload him with boring material that he learned months ago, and Izuku knew that Kacchan was due for some bullying. ."Now that you guys are third year it is time to get serious about your future, but what the heck, you guys all want to be heroes!" The teacher was hyping up the class again, Izuku watched as all the kids started using their quirks in excitement. "Yes you all can make fine heroes, so pick a good school," the teacher said knowing that some students would make better heroes than others.
"Oi teach, don't lump me together with these weak ass EXTRAS" Bakugo yelled out. It looked like Bakugo's ego was going to inflate again. The teacher looked at Bakugo and said "Ah yes Bakugo you are applying to U.A right? There is no doubt in my mind you could make it" The teacher paused for a second before scanning Midoryia's name "oh? Midoryia you are applying to U.A. as well?" Izuku looked around as all the kids slowly turned around.
Whispers and snickering hit Izuku's ears "He could never be a hero" "Who told the defected kid could be a hero?" "I can't believe he actually applied to U.A." Izuku slowly stood up, "w-w-well t-they changed the rule about n-needing a q-quirk so I thought I c-c-c-could at l-least try" Damn his nervous stutter.
All at once the class started to laugh before Bakugo's loud voice settled some of them down "DEKU YOU DAMN NERD I AM THE ONLY ONE TO APPLY TO U.A." Izuku flinched as he knew it meant an "after school chat" with Kacchan. "YOU BETTER NOT APPLY TO U.A. IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!" Bakugo yelled out. The bell rang and before Bakugo went to his next class he whispered "Don't think that we are done here Deku" With a mean glare Bakugo walked off leaving Izuku to dread and worry for the rest of the day.
The school day seemed to fly but Izuku knew he was not getting home safely. At the end of the day, Izuku was grabbing his things when the door slammed shut, Izuku looked up to see Bakugo with two of his so-called "Friends" A boy with a quirk that let him grow his fingernails longer and a boy whose quirk could let him form some rock like appendages.
"H-hey n-n-now Kacchan I r-really d-don't w-want t-t-t-to do this," Izuku said slowly backing away, Bakugo pushed him back before snatching his notebook off his desk and started looking through it while his goons grabbed Izuku.
"YOU BETTER WITHDRAWL FROM U.A. DEKU, ONLY I AM GOING THERE" Izuku winced as Bakugo slowly started ripping pages out of the book. "It is my origin story after all Deku." Bakugo smirked before blasting his notebook "UNDERSTAND!?" Izuku tried answering but was stuttering and muttering so much that they could not understand him. One of the other kids with the nail quirk seemed to be getting impatient and smacked Izuku across the face leaving 4 long scratch marks from his ear to his mouth and nose "Bakugo asked you a question shit head you better answer" Fingernails said before Bakugo blasted his face. "ONLY I AM ALLOWED TO HURT DEKU DUMBASS!" Bakugo screamed at him "ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME IN TROUBLE?!"
Izuku watched as Bakugo seemed to go off on his "friend" before he suddenly turned to him "If you wanted to be a hero so bad I know a way" Izuku's breath hitched hoping Bakugo didn't go there. Bakugo smirked before looking him in the eye and said "Take a swan dive off the roof and pray you get a quirk in the next life" Time slowed down as Izuku just stared at Kacchan…no Bakugo, powerless to say anything as Bakugo grabbed his goons and left, laughing was heard as they walked down the hall.
A few moments passed before Izuku could comprehend what just happened "Oh my GOD. He really told me to kill myself, how could he?!" Tears started forming at the corner of his eyes before he fought them back. "I just have to make it home". Izuku grabbed the scattered and burned pages of his notebook before leaving for home.
The past few weeks had been quite the challenge for survival to the symbiote. Not only had it been almost impossible to find people who could hold him, the "humans" all had a unique power that constantly tried to expel him from their bodies. It was a stroke of dumb luck that he found a sludge-like creature that let him combine, too bad he would soon have to leave this body as well. The sludge monster suddenly panicked as he saw a giant man, All Might? What a strange name, "I wonder what his brains taste like" Venom thought to himself, too bad the sludge was trying to get away in a frenzied state. All Might could have been the perfect host.
Izuku was depressed again, but also angry. Angry at the world. Angry at Kacchan. As he walked under an underpass Izuku barely heard a quiet gurgling sound before he suddenly was covered in sludge. "FINALLY a new coverup!" the sludge villain yelled as he started to take over this green-haired boy's body. "That bastard All Might is still chasing me and I need some camouflage" exclaimed the sludge villain.
Izuku was struggling to breathe, "All Might? Was he here? Will he save me? Will anyone save me?" thought Izuku as he was struggling to breathe he was scratching at his throat desperately trying anything until a new sensation flooded him, it seemed the sludge vill could faze through his skin now, "Is this how I die," thought Izuku as his vision started to get blurry, he saw a big man in a white shirt yell something before passing out.
The Sludge villain was getting angry now, he was taking over this boy just fine then all of a sudden his sludge was not going in as fast as before, was it this boy's quirk? "Hold still little boy this will all be over in about 15 seconds…no in 12 seconds" the villain added before hearing the manhole cover pop up. Turning around he saw what the last thing he wanted to see is but before he could do anything he got hit and saw black.
"THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T TO LATE" All Might exclaimed checking the little boy's pulse and making sure he was alright before grabbing his bottles and collecting the scattered sludge villain. All Might then signed the little boy's notebook before waking him up. Getting attacked by a villain is never easy and by the looks of it this boy got scratched pretty badly from a cat, so it was the least he could do.
Izuku woke up to the smiling face of one of the best and most iconic heroes in the world "A-A-A-All M-M-M-Might! I am y-y-your biggest fan!" Izuku yelled out damn his stutter, but All Might just start to laugh at the overzealous fanboy "I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOU ARE BUT I REALLY MUST GET GOING YOUNG MAN SO PLEASE EXCUSS ME" All Might then crouched down and started jumping away before thinking to himself "Thank goodness I was able to capture this villain, but I feel bad about leaving that boy" getting attacked by a villain was no fun way to spend an afternoon. All Might then heard a noise and looked down to see the same boy riding his pant leg. "WHOA, THERE YOUNG MAN YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE" The young boy then yelled back something about asking a question before All Might finally landed.
Izuku knew that what he did was stupid and dangerous but he needed the answer to his question. Hope crept up into his heart as he readied himself but before he could ask him All Might spit out a lot of blood and turned into a sickly weak man "All Might?" Izuku barely managed to get out.
"Yes, what you are seeing is the real All Might my real name is Toshinori Yagi, a villain injured me 5 years ago and now I am forced to only be a hero for 3 hours every day" All Might choked out "Can I trust you to not blab about my condition young man?" Izuku quickly nodded before turning and picking up the sludge villain bottle that landed across the roof and handing them to all might. Trying to gather the courage to ask the question.
"C-c-can someone become an h-hero without a quirk All Might?" Each syllable came out slowly and Izuku's stomach had butterflies. This was really it. if anyone would tell him if he could be a hero it was All Might. "P-p-please be t-truthful with me" His mom, Bakugo, and his teachers all saying he couldn't be a hero flashed across his mind as he waited for All Might to answer.
Swallowing he owed the truth to this boy "I… am truly sorry young man" It killed All Might to say this but someone had to."I do not think someone could become a hero without a quirk, try to become a police officer, it is a safer and noble profession." With those words, Izuku's world started shattering. "I really must be going young man, it was nice meeting you, please stay safe" After saying that All Might started walking towards the exit door of the roof glancing at the boy before walking down the stairs.
All Might's words felt like a sucker punch straight to the heart. Nobody believed that he could do it. Izuku's mouth dried up as tears started cascading down his cheeks, it took all he had in him to not scream out in frustration. His heart had been ripped out and stepped on by his role model and idol. Suddenly Bakugo's words flashed through Izuku's mind. "If you want to be a hero so bad I know a way, take a swan dive off the roof and pray you get a quirk in the next life" Bakugo's dumb smirking face was stuck in his mind. Izuku slowly started moving toward the edge of the building. "WHY DID I EVER THINK I COULD DO IT?!" "I really am a worthless Deku" Izukus's mind was racing but one thought kept coming back "I am sorry mom" This really is the end. Izuku looked at the ground down below, it was far enough that he would die if he fell. Izuku closed his eyes and started to lean forward.
"NO"
Izuku thought he would fall forward but instead, his body flew backward. Falling on his back Izuku hit his head and just laid there not moving looking at the sky. He did not know how long he stayed there, but he did know that the rough landing quite literally knocked some sense into him. All of a sudden he felt angry, very angry his jaw and hands clenched as pure fury started coursing through his veins. Eyes on fire with determination, Izuku yelled out to the night sky "I WILL DO IT! I WILL BECOME THE BEST HERO AND PROVE EVERYONE WRONG" The anger slowly receded but not the determination in his sewn-together heart "I am going home to tell Mom that it's about time I get serious about becoming a hero, also I am fucking starving" Izuku knew that his life was about to get harder but now not only did he have to prove Bakugo wrong, he also had to prove the number 1 hero wrong.
"I am starting to get excited"
