Chapter 1
[First contact]
Quirks
One of the most important things in recent human history. Like wealth or bloodline, they determine a person's place in this new human society. Nobody knows where they came from.
Some say that it was a leap in human evolution, others a virus or bug spread by mice or created in a lab, and some believe that they came from extraterrestrials.
But who knows; After all, the space industry hasn't been fully active in the past 300 years.
Green eyes shined, illuminated by the night sky; they were tracking the path of a cluster of falling stars. "Woh!" The boy says, the sound muffled by the surrounding trees. But a moment later the stars start falling to the ground. Then his eyes widen in worry as one starts heading toward him. "Oh!" He yelps and jumps to the ground, hands above his head.
As the star enters the atmosphere, it starts to burn, leaving a trail behind. And as it comes down it flies above the trees and lands not too far from his location. The noise is louder than any explosion he's ever heard.
A hot moment passes before he dares to stand up, and when everything is settled he stands up.
"What was that? It can't be a comet or an asteroid. So maybe a meteor." He said excitedly. "Who knows what's in it, maybe some heavy metals." He looks around with a grin. "Finders keepers!"
He runs through the forest to the meteor, and as he gets closer he sees the damage done. Uprooted trees, broken rocks, small flames on the dug-up soil, and a smoking crater in the center of it all.
The boy walks in towards the burning crater, illuminating his green hair. The boy looks about 11 years old, wearing a plain white shirt with "Shirt" written on it and dark green shorts. And most noticeably, wide red sneakers.
As Izuku approaches the crater he mutters to himself, referencing the trivia he knows about space rocks, but that stops when he hears the hissing and a sound as if something is unlatching.
The white smoke clears, and what lies before him is no meteor.
A suit made up of bulky, mat-black muscle fibers, connected by meta a metal frame, a helmet made of the same dark material, and a deep red visor.
"Oh.. my."
The suit suddenly opens up, dividing at the shins, chest, and arms. It unfolds entirely, revealing nothing inside, just dust flowing in the wind.
Izuku whips out his phone, takes a couple of pictures, and starts dialing the authorities, but before he could do that; the suit's muscles pulsed, emitting a dim blue light.
Intrigued, he got closer to investigate.
And as Izuku inspected the suit, marveling at its incredible design, he touched one of the hands to get a closer look. He sees hundreds of small needle-like protrusions on the inside of the suit.
And as he went to touch one of them, the glove wrapped around him. "Hey, let go!" He yelled while trying to pry it off himself.
Slowly, bit by bit the suit came to life, attaching itself to Izuku. Moving like a liquid around his body, metal constructs stuck to his back, his legs, arms, and chest. And in between metallic muscles connected everything.
Suddenly in his head, he heard a voice.
Integratingnew DNA profile, initializing core function mode.
"What's happening?!" He asked in panic as the armor traveled around his head, covering his hair.

Finally, the visor locked itself in front of his eyes, and darkness followed suit.
"Get off!" Izuku tried to claw out the visor, but it was too strong. Then a logo made of a split hexagon appeared, stopping him in his endeavor. The darkness was replaced with a clear image of his surroundings, there was no lag when he turned around, and a pale green square appeared on the bottom left. It pulsed once and a white arrow appeared in the center. On his right a bar appeared with three smaller bars under it displaying Power; Armor andStealth.

Mustafu Police Citizen database: Izuku Midoriya - age 12.
"What's going on- what? My voice!" When he spoke, his voice came out as synthesized. And suddenly he heard a sound, like a rustling bush. When he turned around he saw nothing, and merely thinking about seeing what's beyond the trees, his sight zoomed in."Wow" Off in the distance, a dear was snacking on a bush.
Noticing that his senses were heightened he calmed down quicker than ever. Now that he wasn't in a state of panic, he was hearing every sound in a kilometer radius around him. From the burrowing of worms and bugs crawling on tree bark to the falling leaves and animals breathing.
Activating symbiotic bond. Nanosuit 3.0 bond process initiated.
"Nanosuit? Bonding, What's happening?" He asked nobody in particular, but the voice came back.
A symbiotic bond between the Nanosuit 3.0 and its wearer is the process of bonding the nanites with the living tissue of the host. With the bond complete, combat efficiency will improve by 500%.
Alert! The new DNA sample has been successfully integrated into the suit's deep layers, bond efficiency has been increased by 95%.
Izuku inspected himself, unfeeling to the hundreds of needles attaching themselves to him. As he marveled at the complex structures that were the nanofiber (The suit provided the correct terminology: Cry-Fibril) muscles and the millions of hexagons that made them up, he heard sirens off in the distance.
"The police! I need to get home fast." As he thought that, a spinning icon appeared in the center of the HUD.
Finding fastest route… Waypoint mission established, eta - 15 minutes.
As he heard that, the mini-map pulsed again, now showing lines connected to dots leading him home. Then a beam of light passed above him, alerting him of police presence.
When he started to run, he noticed that his steps were incredibly light, almost making no sound. And as he ran, the trees zipped passed him. Off in the right corner, a speed dial popped up, indicating his current speed.
[60 Km/H]
His eyes widened at the speed he was going, and that fraction of a second distracted him from the tree in front of him.
"Oooh Crap!" Not wanting to get hurt, he instinctively put up his arms.
Maximum Armor Activated!
When he hit the tree, he felt nothing, simply going through it like a wrecking ball.
Getting up, Izuku noticed a pattern. When he wanted something, the suit tried to give him access to said thing. So when the police and the heroes rushed towards him, he willed himself to be invisible.
Stealth Mode Activated!
Suddenly from head to toe, he became invisible. Any move he made was soundless, light seemed to pass right through him. And the heroes and police that walked right by him didn't notice a thing.
When he focused on any particular officer or hero, he could hear their conversation as if he were next to them. Slowly, he made his way out of the forest.
"Hey suit, where are you from? I didn't recognize this logo from anywhere." He asked the blatantly intelligent program.
Accessing Cry-Net database… Failed. Cry-Netis not available. The last recorded date and current date are off by 472 years. The only logical conclusion is the transportation to a parallel universe via a collapsing Einstein-Rosen bridge.
Acuracy [97.6%]
"So you're a suit from another universe, that's cool." He marveled at that information. "He who did you belong to before me?"
"Major Lorence "Prophet" Barns. Other relevant data is inexpressible.
"Oh, by the way, can I take you off?"
"Removing the Nanosuit is extremely lethal. [1.6%] survival chance. Symbiosis is 34% complete. The suit can be absorbed into the body at 45% completion, eta 7 Hours 23 minutes 37 seconds."
"Guess I'll wait then."
-2 years later-
"YOU GUYS ARE ALL THIRD YEARS NOW." The teacher yelled, frantically waving a stack of papers around. "IT'S TIME TO START THINKING SERIOUSLY ABOUT YOUR FUTURE!"
As this happened, Izuku sat quietly near the window scanning over his class. His eyes took on a blue tint and in his vision triangles appeared over everyone's head. Looking closer at his teacher, a window popped up displaying all relevant information; Name; Age; Profession, and so on.
"I WOULD HAND OUT THESE FUTURE CAREER FORMS, BUT… I ASSUME YOU ALL WANT TO BE HEROES!" At that, the class raged in excitement; quirks going off, yelling, and celebrating. Thou Izuku and one other remained silent.
Throwing the paper everywhere, he continued."YES, You all have wonderful quirks. But you know that it's against the rules to use them in school!" Before he could finish, another loud voice came from the crowd.
"SENSEI! DON'T LUMP ME IN WITH THESE LOSERS!" An aggressive-looking blond smirked, his legs parched on his desk. "AS IF I HAD ANYTHING LIKE THEIR CRAPPY QUIRKS. Heh."
The class lashed out in outrage at his words. "SHUT UP! EXTRAS!"
"Ah, Bakugou… You, of course, must be aiming for U.A. HIGH SCHOOL." At that, the class quieted down, and they started whispering. "That national school!? The cutoff score this year is 83 right?!"; "I heard they barely accept anyone!"
Jumping up on his desk Bakugou set off his quirk, letting small explosions pop. "AH, THE STUPID CHATTER OF EXTRAS! I ACED THE MOCK EXAM! I'LL BE THE ONLY ONE FROM THIS SHITTY SCHOOL TO GO TO U.A.! HELL I'LL EVEN SURPASS ALL MIGHT AND BECOME THE BEST HERO OUT THERE!"
As his proclamations became more and more outlandish Izuku made an unhappy face.
"MAXIMUM POWER- 12%" The now familiar voice of his suit. Getting up from his chair Izuku raised his hand and whacked Bakugou on his head.
Everyone was silenced as a stunned Bakugou fell back to his chair. "A-a yes, Midoriya; you're also intent on going to U.A., am I correct." At that statement, Bakugou instantly recomposed himself and attacked him.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, SHITTY NERD! I'M THE ONLY ONE FROM THIS SCHOOL TO GO TO U.A."
"Try and stop me then, with your perfect quirk," Izuku responded with a serious face. "Let's see if you're as great as you say." As Izuku taunted Bakugou, their teacher tried to de-escalate the situation. But he failed miserably.
"DEKU!" Bakugou yelled, jumping the teen and letting off an explosion to his face. Smoke filled the area and the aggressive blond tried to retract his hand, but found it to be stuck. Try as he might he couldn't get it out and suddenly he was pulled off the floor and flipped on his back.
As the smoke cleared and Izuku's face was revealed, his left cheek seemed cracked, hexagonal patterns covering that side of his face glowing a pale blue.
"OW OW OW LET GO BASTARD!" Bakugou yelled as his hand was twisted. "Some hero you are Katsuki huh." Izuku let go of his arm and stared at his ex-friend. Long ago they may have been close, but as time went on Bakugou showed his true colors.
Cradling his arm Bakugou sat down, all the while maintaining his death glare at Izuku. "All right everyone, let's calm down and continue with class."
-Later that day-
After school ended and handing out his career plan, Izuku finished up some business with friends and headed home. Wanting to change things up a bit he took another route home, enjoying the scenery. Blooming trees, birds chirping, the smell of cut grass.
Wandering into an underpass and walking under the shade of the trees he talked to himself.
"I can't believe someone can be so pompous." As he walked under the bridge his mini-map pinged with a red dot behind him, and another further away. "Thinking he's better than All Might. Huf. Can't even give me a good challenge. Though I guess very few can harm me now!"
"BIO-SIGNATURES DETECTED, RAPIDLY APPROACHING." The suit AI said matter of factually.
"Want to test that out, kid." A warbly voice said behind him. "WARNING! ATTACK IMMINENT."
A stream of green goo shot towards him, and faster than the eye could see Izuku dodged.
"Hey stand still, I need to get away from him!" The slime tried again, this time Izuku flipped over the attack. So the mass of slime jumped at him, and in an instant Izuku became invisible.
"STEALTH MODE ACTIVATED, TACTICAL VISION ENABLED."
"SCANNING TARGET, WEAK POINT FOUND"
He zoomed in on the slime's eyes, marking them in red. "Hey, Where'd you go?!" The slime asked, and not wanting to get caught he turned tail and ran. But just as he started, the second red dot became larger.
"BIO-SIGNATURES DETECTED"
"Fear not for I AM HERE!" A huge man jumped from the manhole, embedding the cover in the concrete above with his sheer force.
"YOU!" The slime exclaimed in fright and Izuku's eyes widened.
"TEXAS SMAASH!" The man roared as he delivered a punch to the air, creating a concussive blast that splattered the green clime on the inside of the underpass.
Izuku de-cloaked. "All Might!"
"AHH!" All Might yelled in surprise, "Young man don't scare me like that."
"Ah sorry, I was excited, thank you for the save, you're as cool as always."
"No worries, as long as you're safe that's all that matters to me. No did this thug do anything to you?" He asked Izuku, likely making a mental report.
"Well he tried to take over my body, but he failed."
"Such villainy, Don't worry, his kind will be no bother for as long as I AM HERE. Now, have a wonderful day."
"OH! Before I forget, can I have your autograph?" Putting the remaining part of the slime in a plastic bottle, All Might gave him a thumbs up, and before long Izuku was nerding over the No.1 hero's autograph.
Leaping from building to building All Might noticed too late that the bottle in his pocket was missing. He coughed up blood from the surprise.
"Oh, Shit!"
Landing on a building, he deflated and ran into the roof entrance.
"Puff-Puff You gotta calm down Bakugou."
"SHUT UP EXTRA! AND STOP SMOKING. THERE GONNA PUT A MARK ON ME IF THEY SEE ME SMOKING!"
His companion growled, at that.
"SHITTY DEKU, WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS, HE AIN'T NOTHING TO ME, I JUST NEED TO SHOW HIM HIS PLACE." He let out a couple of explosions in his frustration.
The extras chuckled at him, and fingers had the nerve to go on. "Yeah, you showed him his place today Baku-ku-ku." The extra started stuttering, and when he turned to face him his face was riddled with fear, one long crooked finger pointing at something behind him. When he saw the shadow, he turned around.
"That's a real nice quirk you got there boy." The gurgly voice of the sludge unnerved him.
"Shit!" Before Katsuki could do anything, he was aggressively enveloped in the sludge, and as he started releasing explosions and ruining the surrounding areas, it started seeping into his mouth.
"You'll make a nice body suit kid. Your My Hero you know. Hahahaah"
Walking back home, Izuku made a mental checklist for the groceries he needed to buy. And when he crossed the street he heard the explosion.
Not wanting to miss the villain attack he hurried over. "Two in one day, there's barely three in the week in one area. Must have been emboldened by this morning's villain."
As he began running towards the chaos, dark smoke filled the air. Seeing a crowd forming, Izuku jumped on a fire escape, getting a better view of the situation.
"Hey, that villain, wasn't All Might chasing him?" a person asked in confusion.
"Yeah, I saw him earlier!"
"Then what's All Might doing now?"Another asked in worry.
"Somebody needs to step in. He's got a hostage." Some bystanders exclaimed in panic.
"Hay, I can't hold this beam all day. Kamui!"
"I can't, there are people inside these buildings."
Izuku from his perch on the fire escape saw it all happening. The heroes are preoccupied with saving people from the burning buildings. The mass of sludge strangling the hostage.
'Pathetic… I'm so pathetic. Hero.. my ass!" A skinny blond berated himself, watching the events unfold in front of him.
And that's when it happened. The sludge turned a bit, revealing the hostage's face.
RECORDED BIO-SIGNATUREDETECTED - KATSUKI BAKUGOU.
Without thinking about it, Izuku ran. Jumping from railing to railing. The heroes noticed him too late.
[! MISSION UPDATE !] - SAVE BAKUGOU KASTUKI.
(OPTIONAL) - INCAPACITATE AGGRESSOR.
COMBAT STOPWATCH ACTIVATED - 00:00:00:54!
"Stop! You fool!"
The slime turned around at the hero's exclamation, its eyes widening. "YOU AGAIN!"
"What!" Sunken blue eyes focused on Izuku running on the side of the building. And as he ran his skin started glowing a pale blue light. Armor seemingly manifested on him, wrapping around him like a cocoon.
MAXIMUM POWER - 50%"
Izuku jumped, bending the railing from the force. With the suite now fully on, he looked like a super soldier straight from those pre-quirk games. The black muscles that comprised his armor glowed a neon blue.
As he was falling three tendrils shot at him with lightning speed. The heroes and civilians screamed.
MAXIMUM ARMOR
The tendrils splashed harmlessly on him, the force behind them seemingly being absorbed.
"WHAT!"
When Izuku landed, he punched the ground and emitted a shock wave blowing the sludge back, allowing Bakugou to breathe. And with one hand Izuku grabbed his friend-turned-bully, yanking him out of his captor's grasp and throwing him at the rushing heroes.
MISSION SUCCESS.
ALERT! - INCOMING ATTACK.
Dodging the incoming attack the suit highlighted bits of ruble for offensive use, so Izuku rolled out of the way grabbing a brick.
WEAKNESSDETECTED!
CALCULATING FLIGHT PLAN.
CALCULATION COMPLETE.
On his HUD, a line appeared from the brick in his hand to one of the eyes of the slime villain. The information was downloaded to Izuku's brain. He threw the brick dead center in the massive eye, stunning the villain.
"AAAGGHH" He yelled in pain, allowing Izuku to rush him; his armor glowing blue in the process.
With a single hit the stored kinetic energy in the suit released, greeting a concussive blast and ripping the villain into globs; splattering all over the street.
TIME - 00:00:13:87!
The crowd dissolved in an uproar, cheering him on for his heroism. And one by one they started chanting "Armor man" over and over again.
"Hey, you." Death Arms loudly called for Izuku as he approached him.
'Shit!' Izuku thought to himself.
CALCULATING TACTICAL RETREAT.
ROUT FOUND.
"On behalf of us hero-" Before he could finish his sentence Izuku turned invisible.
CLOAK ENGAGED.
"Where'd he go?" Kamui asked a speechless Death Arms.
The giant woman shielding the civilians at the back laughed. "I think you scared him off." All the while All Might in his small form frantically searched the streets for the young man. 'Come on, where are you.'
After the kid turned invisible, he noticed the fallen leaves shifting as if someone was stepping on them; he buffed up and ran toward him.
Turning a corner, he saw the boy just as he became visible again. "YOUNG MAN! I AM HERE!" He yelled.
Izuku seeing All Might running towards him yelled "AHH! ALL MIGHT WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" his voice sounded synthesized.
"I HAVE COME TO THANK YOU AND PERSONALLY APOLOGIZE! BACK THERE IF IT WASN'T FOR MY LAPS IN CONCENTRATION THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED, AND THANK YOU FOR STEPPING IN WHEN YOU DID."
It didn't show but under the mask, Izuku blushed. "It wasn't anything, the other heroes would've done the same."
"BUT they didn't." All Might countered. "Tell me, what were your thoughts when you rushed in to help." The blond hero's smile widened.
"I, I…" He thought for a moment, but nothing came. "I didn't, I just ran in to help."
"MOST OF THE TOP HEROES SHOW SIGNS OF GREATNESS EVEN AS CHILDREN." All Might began. "MANY OF THEM CLAIM THAT THEIR BODIES SIMPLY MOVED ON BEFORE THEY COULD THINK!" A bit of blood dribbled from his mouth.
'Kachan stop this, you're hurting him… I'm not gonna let you hit him!'
"Young man, may I know your name?"
Izuku's mask retracted, revealing his face and his green hair. "Midoriya Izuku, sir."
"Young Midoriya, you have the stuff of heroes. Do you wish to become one?" He asked.
"Yes, It's been my dream for as far as I can remember. I'm applying to your alma matter."
"Then, know that you have my recommendation Midoriya." That shocked him enough to step back.
"But I couldn't. I don't deserve that, I-" he was cut off.
"But you DO. and here you are proving yourself to be a noble soul."
Izuku steeled his face in a determined smile, saluting the hero. "Then I won't disappoint you, sir."
Seeing their conversation coming to an end, and his time running low, All Might prepared to jump.
"Good! And remember PLUS ULTRA/PLUS ULTRA!!" Izuku yelled as All Might leaped off.
"SO COOL!"
ALERT! INCOMING CALL - [MOM]
"Oh no!" Izuku panicked.
'Beep'
He cleared his throat. "Hey mom, whats-!"
"IZUKU!"
