It began in China, Qingqing City.
News spread when a first born child in a hospital was given powers no one even thought it was possible. Later on eye-witness confirm that other people throughout the world started to also gain powers, and still have no answers as to where they're coming from. Each individual had different types of abilities. Ice, fire, super strength, super speed, bending metal, growing to the size of a Titan, gravity, and much more. These born miracles were given an official name by the scientist who studied them: Quirks.
Because of these quirks they gave birth to something where citizens of society could be safe and looked up to as idols, it was one that all kids would only find in a comic book but never have imagined to become a reality.
Heroes!
Defenders of japan and hosu city. Protectors of the innocent and the light that brings hope to all hearts of man, women, and children. They were so great and extraordinary people were inspired by them and were encouraged to become a hero themselves. However, there was one Hero that everyone looked up to the most. He was one that brought smiles to all souls that tremble in fear from villains, he was the pillar, the symbol of peace, and his name was All Might.
In the eyes of evil he was unbeatable: his walls were so high there was almost no end to it. His strength and speed were overwhelming, never could they be matched with any hero nor villain; though society and the Internet still wondered what kind of quirk he had, the answer still remained unknown.
That is, until the number one hero All might, met a fifteen year old fanboy then shared with him the secret of his power: This young man had been quirkles since the age of six, he was someone that looked up to his number one hero as an idol and dreamed of becoming just like him, he studied all the heroes from A-to-B including their powers, he was very inspiring to his classmates and his name was Izuku Midoriya.
After the incident with the slime-monster and witnessing the boy's brave stunt he knew then and there that he had found a successor with great potential. He offered the young man to inherit the power he willed witch was known as:
One for all.
Like carrying a sacred torch and then passing it down to another, and then another, as it's passed down to a new user it grows stronger and the walls stretch higher then any tower in the world. Filled by determination he spent ten months of hell building his body up in order to inherit the power; as the final day arrived he completed his training and claimed his reward—by eating a curved yellow hair line. Disgusting indeed but besides that he inherited the power.
Many events had taken place since his first day at U.A. He met new friends with incredible quirks, they experienced their first encounter with the villains and fought them to the end. He lost his first tournament but learned a few lessons from it and his mentor.
He found ways of controlling One for all by using five percent as his limit; and in each of his battles the power within him slowly grew stronger but by what cause? Broken bones and permanent scars. Leading up to today he's still striving on becoming a hero and beating any obstacles in any way he can, however, our young hero and his friends have another adventure awaiting them. One that they'll remember for a life-time.
Northeast China - Daxing'anling Larch
8:30PM
Katsuki Bakugou stared at the horizon with an expression of profound boredom on his face. He tried not to let it get to him, but sometimes waiting for a villain to show up felt like the most mind numbing job as a hero. Earlier today he and his friends signed up for a mission to hunt down an unknown villain, he heard many rumors that this villain they're looking for is dangerous and shouldn't be underestimated. But after all his hardcore training he's now prepared for anything that'll be thrown at him.
"Ugh, this is boring. We've been sitting on our asses for almost two hours now and yet not one damn villain has showed up!" Bakugou complained, laying his back on a rock with his hands behind his head.
Kirishima nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'm with Bakugou on this one. You'd think the villain would show up by now…"
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting hungry." Groaned Mineta, beholding his belly.
"We can't lose our focus though Bakugou," Todoroki said repositioning himself cross legged on a tree branch looking down at him, "Endeavor told us that if we drop even the slightest of our guard down we'll lose him."
"Shut up Icy-hot I know that!" Bakugou shouted up at him.
Ignoring his responsive insult Todoroki turns his head to his other friend who stood behind Bakugou's rock. With a book in hand, Midoriya was writing down what he learned through training. Uraraka and the girls were conversing, Iida stood at the precipice's edge, keeping watch in the hope for the villain's arrival.
Tokoyami, Sero, and Ojiro were overwatching on overhanging branches. Koda was feeding hungry birds. Shouji and Sato sat on top of rocks, gazing into the sky dotted with stars.
"Let's see if I go up like this it'll probably do the trick," he muttered under his breath, "But if I go too fast I might lose balance and miss my target; once we finish our mission I'll have to continue practicing it in order to master it to its full potential, but I also have to make sure I don't use my arms too much, I can't risk breaking them then I already have. I don't want to worry my Mom or All Might, I don't think—"
"Deku-kun?" Uraraka called, pulling her friend out from his deep mind of thoughts and back to reality.
"Yeah, Uraraka-san?" Midoriya returned, glancing back at her as she approached.
"I, well, I know I've asked you this like twice now but… are you sure you're okay?" Uraraka asked, her concern evident by her tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine. You don't have to—" Izuku was about to finish until he felt small vibrations coming from his lower thigh. He tilts his head downward finding the source from within his right pocket, then reaches down and pulls out his phone. Facing the screen before him the phone comes to life revealing an image of the whole mapping area with three green dots in a triangular formation indicating him, and his friends as the green dots on the map.
But that wasn't what got Izuku alarmed. His phone registered a heat bloom about a few yards from their current location. The red dot was moving fast passing through the trees as it pinged every second on the radar. There was no doubt who it was that's running...
"Everyone, the villain's here. Through the woods and he's getting away!" Iida shouted, pointing at the trees.
Izuku narrowed his eyes with determination.
"Let's go!" Immediately One for All erupted in a burst of emerald lightning around his entire body.
The villain was on the move again and this time they're right on his tail without him even realizing it. Bursting with speed, Izuku starts running straight towards the direction their target was going, his friends hurriedly trailing after him. Many animals from all around were startled by the speed and blur of green bolts of lightning passing through the trees. On the right, Bakugou hopped from tree to tree, blasting a few explosives from his palms. He let out a huff hating the thought to be left in second place, small twinkling sparks grew as the palm of his hands began lightening up before creating a boost sending him flying ten feet in the air and going as fast as the speed of light, the wind filled his ears and a smile formed around the corners of his lips as he did so.
Long tower size trees were bent over creating an opening for a large triangular block of ice to rise from the ground. Down on one knee ices' precipice, Todoroki drove it as a transporter to catch up to the pair. Uraraka and the rest of the team sat close behind Shoto.
When they caught up with their leader, Shoto called from above. "Midoriya! Any ideas on how we should take him down?"
"Not yet," Deku replied. "I haven't studied how powerful his quirk is, so watch out for any tricks he might throw at us!"
Katsuki clicked his tongue before telling them clearly. "That bastard's mine you hear me?! Once we catch up to him I'll be the one who'll take him down."
"Kachan.." Said Midoriya turning to his right, his eyes meeting his profile, "It's too risky to take him out on your own; we don't know how powerful his quirk is, so we mustn't underestimate him and be cautious. We need to think of a plan."
"I know!" He shouted.
As they proceeded on their chase, dirt, dust and wind began to pick up. Plants and bushes whipped around violently, leaves and pebbles on the ground being swooped away, pulled towards some anomaly that was taking place.
As the wind grew more ominous. Blue particles begin to spark out and fly around in this contained windstorm, before a small blue ball appears in the road. Shining bright for just a flash, the ball dulls to an almost black shade of color, as it rapidly expands in size. The ball transformed into a large, deep blue circle. Standing almost as tall as one of the buildings in this town, the circular anomaly spins ever so slowly, small blue sparks fly out and dance around it.
Once it came into a complete spin,
Bakugou's sharp eye noticed this as he and his team were beginning to reach him.
The bastard must be tired, huh? Bakugou thought to himself.
felt in his gut that something was wrong and before he could mention it to them he heard.
"Look! He's slowing down. This is our chance!" Izuku's excitement kicked in, then without thinking or hesitating his power boosted and he launched towards him.
"Deku-kun, wait!" Shouted Uraraka.
"You dumb-ass!" Shouted Bakugou.
When the villain heard this a smug grin rose from his lips. The villain leapt into the portal, Izuku followed by jumping in the anomaly, and Uraraka trailed after him as she jumped in as well. Then came Bakugo, Todoroki, until the rest of Class A leapt in after their friend. The only one that didn't straight up jump into the portal was Mineta, who was too hesitant to enter. He would have retreated his foot had he not been grabbed by Shouji; the pair sprinting towards the portal, despite Mineta's protest. Ojiro and Tokoyami were the last to trail after their friends, before the anomaly slowly fades away.
As quickly as it had appeared, the portal vanished.
A/N: And there you have it, young readers! Welcome new readers, to possibly a new fun-filled, adventure written series revolving our favorite characters of Class 1A going toe-to-toe with some of the things they face in different universes. Which is exactly why I dubbed this story, "My Hero Academia: Universal Saga." This will be my take on an alternate universe if Midoriya Izuku and his friends was adventuring in many different universes. I'll be writing their interactions with all the characters, slow character development, and more. Also, this takes place after discovering Ayoyama's betrayal and before the final battle.
One thing I want to help separate this from my other works is the format. In this case, short chapters. Doing the massive long-man chapters can be nice, but it can drain you. So in this case, I'm going to try for shorter chapters that go anywhere from 1-3k in words, with the PoV focusing on one character per chapter. This story was also inspired by ImpulsiveWeaver's story called, Universal DOOM.
This story is a crossover between books, movies, and games. Each chapter will be an arc that will take the U.A students to whatever universe the portal will transport them to. The first arc will feature a horrific game that everyone, including myself, is VERY familiar with:
Dead Space 2.
With all of that said, I'll be taking my leave. See you all in the next chapter, young readers!
