Chapter 4: Meet Your Heroes
Izuku was having a good morning. On the way to school he had encountered a hero fight. Which included the official debut of a brand new hero by the name of Mount Lady.
Granted it was kind of ruined with the creeps trying to get the "Money shot" as Mount Lady had a giantism quirk but still.
When he got to school, Katsuki noticed his face.
"What got you so happy Deku?" asked Katsuki.
"Oh I saw a villain fight this morning." Laughed Izuku showing off his current notebook, "I saw the debut of a brand new hero! And…"
"All right! All right I get it." Said Katsuki rolling his eyes.
Izuku could tell his best friend was a little jealous.
Soon enough it was time for class.
The teacher was talking about how they were all third years and because of that they had to think about their careers.
But of course he knew everyone wanted to be a hero.
And everyone but Katsuki started to show off their quirks.
"Yes, yes everyone has such fine quirks but remember no quirks in class." Said the teacher.
Katsuki then let off an explosion.
"You think you can be heroes! All of you will end up being sidekicks to some c lister!" yelled Katsuki, "I'm going to go to UA!"
"No way! He's trying not UA!" said one of the class classmates.
"They're acceptance rate is super low!" said another student.
"Midoriya? Aren't you going to try for UA too?" asked the teacher.
Katsuki glared at the teacher, he was one of the ones that didn't like Izuku.
"Well… I…" said Izuku.
Then the class minus Katsuki started to laugh.
"Seriously! He think he can get into UA?" asked one of his classmates.
"Just because his sister got in doesn't mean he can!" laughed another.
"Plus he's Quirkless! Will they even let him in?" asked another student.
"They got rid of the requirement a while ago." Said Izuku.
The class still laughed.
"Shut the fuck up!" yelled Katsuki blowing up.
The class stopped laughing .
"Deku has been pushing himself as hard as he could! Unlike you he's been training!" yelled Katsuki, "He's going to get into UA extras! And none of you have the right to say he can't!"
Izuku started to cry tears of joy… after all Katsuki was one of the few people who believed in. him. After all he helped Izuku train.
"Stop crying nerd!" yelled Katsuki.
"Sorry…" apologized Izuku.
"Stop apologizing damn it!" yelled Katsuki.,
The rest of the class were quiet.
Izuku and Katsuki's friendship was weird.
That afternoon, everyone was getting ready to head home.
"Hey Deku… I'm going to hang out with some extras." Said Katsuki.
"Did… you just call people you were going hang out with extras?" asked Izuku with a sweat drop.
"Whatever…" muttered Katsuki.
"I think I'm going to just head home today." Sighed Izuku.
Katsuki growled under his breath knowing that morning must have affected Izuku much more than he thought.
"Please don't tell my sister what happened." Said Izuku.
Katsuki was still angry.
"Fine but you owe me." Muttered Katsuki.
He knew if he told Hoshiko about what happened it would be a huge mess. So he decided it was better to keep quiet about it for now…
Sometime later Izuku was walking home.
As he was walking he saw a nearby manhole cover suddenly popped up.
He jumped and suddenly a man made of sludge came from the sewer.
"A medium sized skin suit… perfect…" said the sludge man.
He soon enveloped Izuku.
Izuku found himself being suffocated. He was losing consciousness as the vial who was truly a villain was mockingly calling him a hero and it was better not to struggle.
However his thoughts were about other things.
"Please… someone save me…" thought Izuku as he started to pass out.
That was hewn the manhole cover began to move again. However it wasn't because of another villain.
A large figure appeared and with a shout of Texas Smash the sludge vialling was of him.
However due to everything Izuku passed out.
Thankfully it wasn't for long he was out for.
He soon found himself being slapped in the face.
He looked at the person slapping him in the face.
It was a blonde mountain of a man with bunny ear shaped bangs…
In other words All Might his idol.
"I worried there!" said All Might with a big grin, "I thought I lost you!"
"ALL MIGHT!" yelled Izuku.
"That's right! Sorry for you getting stuck in my heroing, the sewer system was much harder to navigate than I thought. Oh and don't worry about the villain." Said All Might.
He held up two bottles and he saw the sludge villain in them with Xs for eyes.
"Wait!" yelled Izuku, "You have to…"
That was when he saw that his hero analysis notebook had All Might's apograph in there.
"You already signed it." Said Izuku.
He picked up his notebook in glee then began to bow a lot…
"Thank you so much this is will be a family heirloom for generations!" said Izuku.
Then he noticed that All Might as doing stretches getting ready to leave.
"Wait you're leaving already?" asked Izuku.
"Sorry! But a hero's job is never done!" said all Might.
"But there's something I really have to ask you." Said Izuku.
"Sorry but continue the support." Said All Might.
All Might place the bottles in his pockets then leapt away.
In the middle of the air he noticed he was heavier.
It turned out Izuku was clutching onto him.
It didn't help that Izuku's face looked like it was going through a wind tunnel.
"Kid! Let go!" yelled All Might.
"If I let go from this height I'll die…" said Izuku.
"Oh… right…" said All Might, "I'll land somewhere... just hide your face."
Izuku nodded and placed his face into All Might's leg.
All Might landed and Izuku was breathing heavily.
"I saw my life flash before my eyes." Said Izuku.
All Might was getting ready for leave.
"Wait… I have a really important question." Said Izuku.
"What is it?" asked All Might who was sweating.
"You see I've admired you since I was little… how you always saved everyone with a smile on your face. And growing up I always wanted to do what you did. However only three people ever really believed in me…" said Izuku.
He didn't notice that that All Might had literally started to steam.
"Only my siblings and Kacchan ever said I could be a hero… but everyone else… so please I need to know… can I be a hero even without a quirk?" asked Izuku.
That was when suddenly All Might suddenly… well the best word was deflated.
He was extremally skinny and was almost a skeleton and his well-kept hair was now a mess.
"Imposter!" yelled Izuku .
"No… I really am All Might…" said the man who started to cough up blood.
Izuku started yelling.
Meanwhile Katsuki was miserable.
Something his mom had always said to him was that he needed to make more friends.
Also Inko had started to join in and then Hoshiko.
Unfortunately Katsuki had the opposite problem as Izuku.
It was people who just wanted to ride his coattails.
They didn't care about him as a person.
And what was worse as what they wanted to do.
"I am not going to a fucking bar!" yelled Katsuki, "I'm trying to get into UA!"
"Okay! Okay! Bakugo… we get it…" said one of them.
"And to think that quirkless loser wants to get into UA." Said the other.
"You know that "quirkless loser" could kick your ass." Muttered Katsuki.
"Yeah… him calling his big sister." Laughed one of them.
"Don't joke about that…" said the other.
The other one had known Katsuki and Izuku since they little.
So he had gotten beaten up by Hoshiko a few times… well more than a few times.
Katsuki rolled his eyes and kicked a nearby bottle.
As it turned out that bottle contained the Sludge Villain that fell out of All Might's pockets earlier.
The three teens.
"Oh what the fuck…" said Katsuki.
Back with Izuku and the very thing and sickly All Might, the hero was explaining why he was so thin.
He had gotten into a fight with a villain that completely wrecked his body. He lost one of his lungs and his stomach in the fight.
Not only that but he could only use his muscle bound form for three hours a day and he had reached that limit.
Izuku was very much horrified by this.
"I'm the guy who's always smiling…" said All Might, "But the truth is I use the smile to hide the fear…"
Izuku was just staring at All Might in shock.
"So no… you can't be a hero… not without a quirk… maybe you can be a doctor or a police officer." Said All Might, "I'm sorry kid…"
All Might left the roof top.
As he did he checked his pockets.
"All right let's get you to the police…" he said.
Then he noticed the empty pockets and the fact the bottles were missing...
Afterwards Izuku made his way down the building and was just wandering after hearing what All Might had told him.
That was when there was there was a voice shouting "SURPRISE HUG!"
And suddenly he was hugged.
Of course it was Hoshiko and Hiroki was with her.
"Hey bro-bro what got you down?" asked Hoshiko.
"It's nothing…" lied Izuku.
Hoshiko stared to glare him.
"WHO HURT YOU?" asked Hoshiko.
"No one I mean... I…" said Izuku.
He looked at his brother.
Hiroki was shaking his head as if saying "Don't drag me into this…"
Izuku sighed and knew he had to come clean.
He told them about his run in wit the villain and All Might.
Hoshiko was absolutely shocked at this.
"Did you tell him everything about your training?" asked Hiroki.
"No…" said Izuku.
"So he just heard Quirkless and said no…" said Hoshiko.
"Well…" said Izuku.
He couldn't tell them about the injury.
"Izuku… what you hiding?" asked Hiroki.
Before he could say any more they heard an explosion.
They all looked at each other.
"Come on! Let's go see what that is." Said Hoshiko.
She figured seeing a fight would be good for Izuku.
That was when they got to where the explosions were coming from.
They saw it was the Sludge Villain… and he was trying to suffocate Katsuki.
"Kacchan?" asked Izuku.
"Wait… isn't' that the villain you told us about…" said Hiroki.
"All Might…" said Izuku then he remembered.
All Might had it in his pockets.
"They must have fallen out when I grabbed onto his leg." Thought Izuku shaking.
He looked at his best friend, he saw the pure fear in his eyes.
And then his body moved on its own.
He ran towards what was going on.
As he ran towards his best friend he came up with a plan.
"The eyes! They're the only solid part of him." He thought.
He grabbed his backpack and threw it at the villain's eyes.
this allowed Katsuki to get free.
"Why you!" yelled the Sludge Villain.
"Kacchan!" cried Izuku.
"It fucking figures!" yelled Katsuki.
The same time Hoshiko and Hiroki were watching in awe and horror.
"Get permission." Said Hiroki.
"Stupid laws…" muttered Hoshiko.
She ran over to one of the heroes.
"Hey! My quirk can help!" she said approaching one of the heroes.
However before she could ask them they saw that the Sludge Villain was preparing to hurt Izuku and Katsuki.
However as it turned out All Might had been watching lamenting not being able to help. But when he saw Izuku run into help he felt something he hadn't felt in a long time.
And he knew he had to get involved.
Despite his limit.
He turned back into his musclebound form and punched the villain once again.
Everyone was in shock by this punch.
Not only did it disperse the sludge the villain but it started raining.
"His punch changed the weather!" yelled someone.
Afterwards the heroes who were there had started to praise Katsuki for "keeping calm" and also praising his quirk.
At the same time they were scolding Izuku.
"You could have gotten hurt kid!" said one of them.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!" yelled Katsuki who had gotten sick of everything.
All of the heroes froze.
"Deku was the only who actually fucking did something while all of you were going to let me die!" yelled Katsuki.
"He's completely right!" said Hiroki.
The heroes turned.
"Hey you shouldn't be here! yelled one of the of heroes.
"I'm his older brother, the police let me through because of that." Said Hiroki.
That shut up the hero. Esspecilly since the two borthers looked alike.
"Katsuki it right." Said Hiroki, "He almost died because none of you thought to go for the solid part of his body."
"Or even his teeth! I saw that he had teeth." Said Hoshiko.
"You're related too aren't you?" asked the hero sighing.
"I'm their big sister." Said Hoshiko.
"But the point still stands you shouldn't be praising Katsuki because all he did was be a victim not when there were ways to help… he could have died or suffered from brain damage…" said Hiroki.
"And Katsuki's one of the smartest students in class! His mom would have pitched a fit if he had gotten brain damage because of you!" said Hoshiko.
"Deku is the one who deserves the praise! Not me!" yelled Katsuki, "So fuck all of you!"
All Might who was surrounded by reporters heard all of this.
"Come on! Let's get out of here…" said Hoshiko, "Let's ask mom if Kacchan could stay over for dinner."
Katsuki snorted, after all Inko was a better cook than his mom.
They all headed home together.
Izuku sighed.
"Zuku is this about what All Might said?" asked Hiroki.
"I mean… all I got was in the way." Said Izuku.
"Deku… don't listen to those idiots!" yelled Katsuki.
"Yeah!" said Hoshiko, "Besides! You're already going viral."
"What?" asked Izuku.
Hoshiko took out her phone.
"Nejire sent me some stuff already asking me things." Said Hoshiko, "Some people already posted some videos."
Nejire was one of Hoshiko's classmates and a good friend of hers.
"You can't let the extras get you down Deku…" muttered Katsuki.
"They're right!" boomed a voice.
That was when All Might suddenly showed up.
"All Might! I thought you were busy with reporters!" yelled Izuku
Before All Might could say a witty line about sound bites, Hoshiko suddenly yelled out "Big Sister Smash!"
And punched All Might in the face.
The three boys all stared in shock and horror.
Thankfully Hiroki who delt with Mabel/Hoshiko in two lives was able to recover first.
But he knew what he said to say shouldn't be said outload so he activated his telepathy to only Izuku and Katsuki.
"Okay… we were never here… on the count of three run…" thought Hiroki to both Katsuki and Izuku.
At the same time. All Might was reeling on the ground after get that punch.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO BREAK MY LIL BRO'S SPIRIT EVEN MORE!" yelled Hoshiko.
"No it's not what I'm doing! I swear!" said All Might, "I'm just here to offer my quirk to him!"
And All Might realized what he just said.
And the boys even heard this as they haddn't run away yet.
"What…" said Izuku.
And then All Might started to cough up blood and once again deflated.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" yelled Katsuki.
And with that things were going to change.
Next Time: Secrets are discovered about All Might... namely his quirk and how he wants Izuku to be his successor. But of course despite being a big secret Hiroki realizes there needs to be some ground rules... namely Inko need to know. What will happen? Find out next time!
