This is an AU. This takes place between the episodes "The Jedi" And "The Tragedy". Also, I'm going to use normal curses instead of the star wars ones.


Mandalorian Din Djarin was looking at his charge, Grogu, with anticipation

"Grogu" Din said

Grogu's ears perked up as he turned to look at him

"You want this ball? If you want it you have to take it from me"

Grogu extended his hands out, closing his eyes, when suddenly, the ball flew straight to his hand

"YES!" Shouted Din in excitement over his young-ish charge's display

"Okay now, that Jedi said to go to Tython, right? Alright let's-" He was cut off by a low rumbling sound coming from Grogu

"Alright, first we'll get you something to eat" Said Din letting out a sigh

"Let's see what planet we're coming across" He said, remembering his ship was still in hyperspace. Unknown Regions? Let's see... not under the jurisdiction of the new republic, and no known imperial activity there, How does that sound?" He asked while turning to Grogu. Grogu, with his head tilted let out an unintelligible babble "Unkown it is then"


*Boom*

A small blonde boy was using his powers to hurt a defenseless, green-haired boy, who, seemingly just sat there and took it. If you were a passenger you'd think, 'Man, why isn't that kid standing up for himself?'

"What do you mean you're quirkless?"

But once you hear that, you'd realize why this was happening.

*Boom*

"You really are a Deku"

*Boom*

"P-Please stop Kacchan"

*Boom*

"Shut up you quirkless freak"

*Boom*

The blonde-haired boy, known as Katsuki Bakugo, was extremely gifted. In their world, there are these powers, called "quirks". These vary from person to person, but, as faith would have it, the green-haired boy that was being beated on, Izuku Midoriya, does not have one. Out of over 7 billion people on this planet, about 80% of the population has one. Unfortunately, he was a part of the rapidly decreasing 20%.

Bakugo was flanked by two kids, his "Followers" as he likes to call them.

"Hey Bakugo, it's getting late, your mom will be mad at you" piped up one of them

"I don't care what the old hag thinks!" Responded Bakugo angrily

Izuku, seeing his opportunity to flee, took it, without looking back. He sprinted away, not caring where his legs took him.

-15 minutes later-

He was crying all the way while running through a forest. Once he realized where he was he paused, calming down from his crying, then, for the first time, took a good look around. He'd been in this forest multiple times but couldn't recognize this part.

'Oh great now I'm lost'

In his short life of 5 years, he'd never felt this lonely. At least when he did, his mother was there. Thinking about his mother made him pause, his eyes stinging, tears threatening to flow at any moment. He decided to focus on where he was going instead

After a few minutes of walking, he came out to a clearing where he saw something that looked like an aircraft, nothing like he'd ever seen. Out of it came a man, wearing a silver helmet with a T-like visor on the front, along with matching silver armor. He also seemed to have some sort of jetpack on his back.

Izuku, intrigued, decided to approach the man

"Excuse me?" He said with curiosity laced in his voice.

Din looked at Izuku, his hand on the side of his hip ready to draw what looked like a gun. He soon relaxed as he saw him, his hand falling from his holster.

"Who are you?"

Silence.

"Are you a hero?" Asked Izuku with a little hope in his eyes.

Din let out a soft chuckle.

"No, no I'm not a hero"

"But you're wearing armor!" said Izuku, as if that should've explained everything

"So?" asked Din in confusion

Izuku took a step back as he reached a frightening conclusion

"Ar-e you a v-villain?" asked Izuku, slightly shaking with fear

"What?"

"I-if you're not a hero and you're wearing armor, th-then you must be a villain!" Was the best thing his 5-year-old mind could come up with

"Kid I really don't know what you're talking about" Said Din while sighing. "Look, it's very late, your parents must be worried sick, so why don't you go home and-"

"I don't"

''What?"

"My parents, they died in a villain attack."

"... I'm sorry for your loss"

"It's fine"

They fell into an awkward pause for a few minutes, until Din broke it

"So, what's a hero?"

Izuku's head turned to face him so fast, you could almost hear his neck crack

"HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A HERO IS?" he asked in disbelief

"Alright, calm down, I know what the word means, but, the way you're using it, I think it might be different"

Izuku took a few moments. He'd never met anyone that didn't know what a hero is ,so it was strange to him.

"W-Well, a hero is someone who uses their quirks to save people and fight villains. And they're really cool too!" exclaimed Izuku in excitement

"Right, so, what's a quirk?"

Izuku was even more dumbfounded than beore

"What's... a... quirk?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"I... How... How Do you not know?"

"Because I'm not from this planet, I don't know how any of this works"

Izuku, walking to take a seat tripped, faceplanting onto the ground.

"What? S-So you're an alien?" Asked the green-haired boy in bewilderment

'I'm guessing this planet hasn't achieved spacetravel yet' thought Din

"More or less"

"So if you're an alien, what are you?"

Really the only reason Izuku believed him was because he was a young child. Was he any older he would've thought the man was crazy

"First of all, I'm human. I am a Mandalorian"

"There are humans out of earth?" Asked the boy in confusion

"Yes" Was the dry answer Din gave

"What's a Mandalorian?"

"Mandalorians are a group of warriors, or at least used to be, most of us are bounty hunters now"

"What's a bounty hunter?"

Din sighed "You still haven't answered my previous question, what are quirks?"

Izuku then started explaining what quirks are.

"So, let me get this straight. Your planet has people with powers, those powers being unique to each one?"

"Yeah, although, I don't have one" Responded Izuku with sadness in his voice

The next few seconds were spent in silence when Din broke it "so, You know any place I can get food here?"

-One hour later-

Back at the landing site, Din opened Razor Crest's hatch, out of it stepping Grogu

"Here kid, I brought you food"

"Woah what is that?" Asked Izuku in awe

Grogu grabbed at the takeout plate Din had gotten him. Inside it were eggs and soup

"This is Grogu"

"What... is he?"

"He's a Jedi. I've been tasked to bring him to them"

"Do other Jedi look like him?"

"From what I understand, It's a title. They come in different species."

Grogu downed the food in seconds, letting out a small burp.

Izuku giggled. "He's cute and funny"

"Yeah, he is"

A pregnant pause broke out before Din spoke

"Hey kid, do you have anyone that's close to you?"

"No, everyone stays away from me cuz I'm quirkless... The kids at the orphanage I live in have been spreading rumors that quirklessness is a thing and that it can spread. That causes other kids to not play with me, and even hate me." Izuku said, sadness clear in his voice

"So you're an outcast... How about I train you as a Mandalorian"

Izuku's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "You'd really do that for me?"

"Yes. by creed I'm practically obligated to take any abandoned children I come across"

"But I'm not abandoned" Said Izuku, confused

"You might as well be. Now, come we will begin your training tomorrow"

"Thank you" Said Izuku softly

They walked in the Razor Crest, the hatch closing behind them. Mando sat down on the pilot's seat, Izuku sitting on the left seat behind him, Grogu on the right. "Sit there, and don't touch anything." Said Din.

"By the way... I never got your name kid"

"I'm Izuku Midoriya. I want to be the #1 hero. At least that's what I wanted"

"... My name is Din Djarin"

"Nice to meet you!" Said Izuku, finally getting his name

Izuku watched in amazement as he saw the earth's blue atmosphere change to the cold darkness of space, then the stars around them stretch, and eventually whirl around them as they jumped into hyperspace


I know my writing isn't the best but I'm trying. also, please give me ideas on where I should go with this as, I wrote this out of impatience because this Idea has been bouncing around my head for a while now.
