("Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. Yet by the blade of knights, mankind was given hope.")
The voice states as a large symbol of unknown design turned into two Horrors that resembled actual demons before coming together to form a feline's claw and then finally, turning into a knight with a gold hue.
Track playing: The Day from My Hero Academa by Porno Graffiti
In a pitch black void, a sun-like spotlight shone over an empty Garo with no eyes as Taiyō was kneeling down.
(5 A.M. and I hold my breath like the quiet is sinking into the air! Biting my nails on the emergency stairs! Which will tomorrow be? The day has come!)
As he stood up, Taiyō noticed the eye holes glowed from cyan to red, green, blue, purple, and finally orange as he stood up and reached his hand out to it when suddenly, the armor started attaching itself to him!
Just then, he saw images of the previous inheritors with their names for a second each, an ancient Japanese man in a red, white, and black gi with a katana strapped to his hip named 'Raikou', a spiky-haired brunette in white and black trench coat with gold brooch and six other pieces on his shoulders, sleeves, and the straps on the flaps, named 'León Luis', a more modern Japanese man wearing a white trenchcoat over a black skin suit, named 'Kouga Saejima', a younger French blonde wearing red and white checkered-patterned trenchcoat with a pure white inside, a mechanical right arm with black ring being hovered by a tiny floating cat, named 'Adrien Agreste', perhaps the biggest inheritor, a matured French blonde wearing plates of armor on his left shoulder, right hand, and knees over a white jacket with a motorcycle with two large tires, named 'Louis Agreste', and lastly, black-haired Japanese man wearing a black trenchcoat, underneath a leather forearm plate and two small brushes attached to two pelts on the sides of his trenchcoat, named 'Ryūga Dōgai'!
(The night that will never end! The rain that will never stop! They exist in this good-for-nothing world! Isn't it a little strange? I doze off and can't stay standing! It's not like I'm blaming you!)
In the interior of a white tower with a large hall leading out, Taiyō walked from the hallway into the tower, looking in awe at the hundreds of statues that covered the walls before he got over the supposed shock and adopted a composed look. Just then, the whole room flashed brightly as Taiyō covered his eyes with his arms before it calmed down. Moments later, Taiyō became Garo as he began to look at himself, stopping at his new sword.
(Playing alone in a daydream! Will you even be embarrassed of what you imagine there?)
In the woods, a much younger Izuku and Bakugo were looking at each other, with the former looking calm and relaxed, the latter looking arrogant and aggressive, but both looking happy. But years later, they were now standing back-to-back from each other, looking both hardened, the latter showing hatred as the former showed a stoic nature. Finally, Taiyō began to show the same hatred as Bakugo's while his anger got worse before they turned around and punched each other as Taiyō's mechanical fist collided with Bakugo's organic one!
Meanwhile in another black void, hundreds of Horrors flew forth as Jinga charged forward with a joyous smile before transforming into a Horror that resembled human muscle with devil wings, horns, and tail!
(Getting entangled in a maze! Will you say you will go even then? The sound of the starting bell played by the small traveler!)
Seemingly in the same void, but on solid ground, All Might began exchanging blows with a Nomu as Jinga clashed blades with Wataru with his armor on while Kaina shot at the former's back with a metallic brush attached to the scope of a green and blue sniper rifle!
(Don't know, don't know where you're going! Aren't you actually scared? Each step you take is changing! The day has come!)
On a sunny day in the real world, Garo was riding on a golden horse with a red mane as the entirety of Classes 1-A & B around its current user's age appeared beside him, excluding a green knight with a bear theme and two axes on its hips, riding a metallic, green triceratops with Kyoka riding behind!
Moments later, a solar eclipse began to occur as Garo and Jinga charged at each other with opposing armies representing one and the other!
(U.A. High School)
The next day, Taiyō was walking to the school when a mob of news reporters suddenly came out of nowhere as one of them went up to him with a microphone. "Hey, you! Can you tell us how it feels to work so closely with All Might?" "Get that mic out of my face or I'll give you a Sonic colonoscopy with it." Taiyō told her before she backed away. "But if you must know, I think he's doing an ok job. You can tell he actually cares about his students and actively wants to improve, unlike Shota Aizawa." He informed them before heading past the gate.
"Are you one of All Might's students? Tell us, what is the Symbol of Peace like in person?" "Um, what's he like? Well… uh, he's super muscle-y. Yeah." Ochako stated awkwardly. "I mean what is his real personality?" She rephrased.
"How is he faring as a teacher; what are you learning?" "His leadership and wisdom remind me on a daily basis that I attend the world's most prestigious educational institution. Of course, he's the personification of honor and integrity that one would expect, but he's also not afraid to show his students a more humorous side. It's truly a unique opportunity to be under the direct tutelage of-" Before Tenya could continue, he was knocked out by Itsuka, using the flat end of her ax. "Oh, thank god." The reporter said in relief as Itsuka picked Tenya up over her shoulder. "Sorry folks, but he would've kept going until the day ended." She told them before she went into the school, leaving the reporters as the woman sighed. "You know what? I think we have enough information on All Might as a teacher for a while. But what about that one teacher the first kid mentioned?" She muttered at the end before she spotted Shota Aizawa walking up to the gate. "Hello, sir. We were wondering if you've seen-" "All Might's not on campus today. Now get outta here, you've disturbed my students enough already." Aizawa told them in a monotone voice before turning back. "But we also want to know about your teaching methods! One of your students said you want to stagnate them!" She stated, getting him to stop momentarily before he continued walking away. "All right. If the answers won't come to us then-" "No, hold on!" A cameraman tried to tell her, when an alarm sounded and the entire gate was immediately closed by a multi-layered metal wall as the walls also extended! "Hey! What's happening?!" She shouted in shock and surprised as she was inches away from the wall! "That was the school's defense. This gate is the U.A. Barrier." "Defenses?! It could've killed me!" "Yeah, well, it's designed to stop anyone who doesn't have a student ID or special pass from entering the campus." The cameraman explains to her as a man with brown hair and some blonde strands and wore a black duster coat and another man with short clean hair, a pair of glasses, and a black duster. "He's right, though requests for said passes are a pain to get." The former stated as they walked up to the sealed gate and held out a card each, causing a door-sized slit to open up for the two, allowing them to enter before closing behind them. Ten meters away from the, now irritated crowd, a young man with silver hair stared at the gate, wearing an identical device as Glare's on his face. "Prepare to distract the staff on my signal, Tomura."
(Class 1-A)
"Decent work on combat training, you guys. I saw the video feeds and went over each of your team's results." Aizawa stated before he turned his attention to Katsuki. "Bakugo, you're talented, but reckless. So don't sulk about your loss like a child, ok?" "Yeah, whatever." Katsuki muttered before Aizawa looked at Taiyō. "And Midoriya-" "One thing that's nonsensical, and I'll throw you out the window." Taiyō told Aizawa, causing him to sigh. "As much as I would like to criticize you, most of your choices were correct, and your skills are quite remarkable in a good way. Always show your urgency." He told Taiyō before addressing everyone. "Right. Now let's get down to business. Our first task will decide your future." Aizawa told everyone as most of them tensed up. "We already did the Quirk test." "I'm sorry, did I say "future"? I meant reputation. You all need to pick a class representative." Aizawa clarified after Kyoka's statement, lifting the tension. "Pick me, Guy! I wanna be class rep!" Eijiro said. "I'll take it!" "Yeah, not a chance." Kyoka told Denki. "Someone with style would be be-" "I'M TOTALLY THE RIGHT PICK!" Mina yelled out before the whole room was silenced by a high-pitched noise that made everyone cover their ears. Turning to the source of the sound, they saw it was Taiyō using his metal claws to scratch a window to get their attention. "Now I know everybody wants the position for the perks, but there's always a catch. You'll have duties that include dealing with management work, setting reasonable examples to live up to, and being responsible, dependable, & accountable." "He's right." Tenya claimed as everyone now looked to him. "That's not something just anyone can do. Furthermore, you must first have the trust of every student in the classroom. So the most logical way to fill this position is democratically. We will hold an election to choose our leader." "It's pretty obvious you want us to vote for you." Everyone stated as he was now raising his hand high up. "Is this really the best idea?" "We've only known each other a few days, how do we know who we can trust?" Denki and Tsuyu asked respectively. "Besides, everyone will just vote for themselves." "That's why we will only pick from a few to vote for. Myself, who seeks to help you work outside of your comfort zones, Momo Yaoyorozu, who seems to be very perceptive on human behavior, and Tenya Ida, who is very by-the-book." Taiyō informed them. "How come I'm not picked?!" Bakugo demanded as Taiyō walked up to him, seemingly calm. "Because you left a burn-scar on my RIBCAGE, YOU FUCKING DICK SHIT!" He yelled the last part while digging his claws into Katsuki's jaw before shoving his head through the window he scratched as everyone looked at him in shock and/or fear! This caused an awkward silence for a few seconds before Mina spoke up. "Well, now you're not getting my vote."
A few minutes later, the votes were in for the three on the board.
Taiyō Midoriya:9
Momo Yaoyorozu:7
Tenya Ida:1
"All right, the class rep is… Midoriya, and our deputy is Yaoyorozu." Aizawa declared as Taiyō and Momo stood in front of the class. 'Hm. I'm surprised you won after your outburst.' 'You and I both, Zaruba. You and I both.' Taiyō mentally told Zaruba.
(Cafeteria)
"Okay, guys, anything to report?" Taiyō asked Aguri and Takaru as they and the other Knights and Priestess sat around a table. "It's not much, but we finally did get something." Takeru stated as Aguri pulled out a small, gnarly, and jagged knife. "Last night, we saw Jinga attempt to abduct a woman when we stopped him. And when he fled, he dropped a Horror Blade." "Which means he's been infiltrating meeting points for Watch Dogs. So we just have to be ready for when he attacks next." Itsuka claimed as Aguri took back the blade. "That is if he does show up again, but at least we now believe he and Amily are gearing up for something big." Aguri stated before he noticed Ochaco and Tenya walking over. "Looks like we should head out. We'll meet later tonight." He said before they got up and left. "Hey, Dekiru. Can we sit with you guys? It's way too crowded." "I suppose so." Taiyō said as they sat down where Takaru and Aguri were. "So what were you guys talking about?" "It's nothing important. What's important is that you guys think I'm qualified." Taiyō stated as Ochaco and Tenya were eating. "Well that shouldn't be a surprise. You got me to use something other than my Quirk." "Your courage and quick thinking under stress will help make you a worthy leader, despite your outburst earlier. If you had allowed myself and Yaoyorozu to vote, I'm sure We'd both vote for you." Ochako and Tenya claimed respectively. "Yeah, but you don't see candidates vote for themselves in real elections. Although, we do have the choice to either step down or accept the position said election offers." Taiyō stated. "You're right. Wanting a job and being suited to it are quite different things. Observing the Ida family's Hero agency has taught me that much." "Agency?" Ochaco asked as Tenya looked at her. "That's right, you're a relative of the Hero who founded the agency." Kyoka claimed as they looked at her in shock. "Come on, guys, you know having a secret identity in this world was never gonna happen." Itsuka told Tenya and Ochaco. "That's right. If you're going to have an alter-ego, you better have both a convincing cover and have a way of making people forget the similarities." Yoestsu stated before Tenya sighed. "I was asking for this, wasn't I? You see, the Idas have been Pro Heroes for generations. It's in our blood. In fact, are any of you familiar with the Turbo Hero: Ingenium?" "Of course. He's one of the only Heroes we actually respect, alongside those like Ryukyu and Best Jeanist. We take it that you're related to him?" Itsuka asked as Tenya then stood up suddenly with confidence. "He is my elder brother indeed!" "Your family's famous!" Ochaco said in amazement! "Ingenium is an unmatched commander who honors the hero code! As the second oldest Ida son, I strive to be like him! However, I think it might be a bit soon for me to be in a leadership role. Unlike me, you had Uraraka learn a new skill that might be indispensable in the future, and you used Bakugo's weakness to your advantage. A rep needs that sort of insight and willingness." Tenya explained as he sat back down, noticing Ochaco, Kyoka, and Taiyō stare at him. "That's the first time I've seen you smile, Tenya! You should do it more." "What are you talking about? I smile all the time." "Actually, Tenya, you don't." Kyoka told Tenya as a bell rang across the entire school.
(Defense system: Warning:Level 3 security breach. All students, please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion.)
"That can't be good." Taiyō claimed as the students around them panicked, running for the exit!
Meanwhile, within a corridor of U.A., a young woman with black hair, with a white streak, as long as she was tall and a halberd on her back was walking towards the faculty room. "I'm heading for the lounge, Veil." "Excellent, Harmony. Now head for the nearest computer and copy the schedule for the next year to boot." Veil told Harmony through the same device Glare and Tomura have on her face as she entered the room and walked up to a computer before tapping the device, causing it to show her a loading screen for a few seconds before showing her the database.
Back at the cafeteria, chaos ensued as the hallway leading out was backed up and people were stuck! "Ow! This is a total mob!" "Everyone was quick to react! As I'd expect from U.A. students." Ochaco and Tenya said respectively as they were shoved around by the crowd! "Why is there only one exit?! We're gonna get trampled!" Yoestsu shouted as Tenya found himself next to one of the windows! "Who in the world could've trespassed onto campus grounds?" He asked himself before he then noticed the reporters from outside now in the school grounds. "It's… the press that was outside! I was afraid it was some kind of attack on the school, but there's no need to worry, everyo-" Tenya tried to shout out until he was shoved into the window! 'Where are the teachers? Why aren't they taking control?' "Everyone! Stop freakin' out!" Kirishima shouted as he and Kaminari were being pushed back by the crowd! "Taiyō, if you have something for crowd control, DO IT NOW!" Kyoka yelled out as she was separating from the group! "Never thought I'd use this, but there's a first time for everything." Taiyō states before he loads something into his arm and cocks it. And with one punch into the air with his eyes closed, his arm lets out a bright flash which stuns everyone who didn't have their eyes shut in the hallway! "NOW CAN WE STOP BEFORE SOMEONE'S TRAMPLED TO DEATH IN THIS ACCIDENT?!" He yelled out as people were starting to slowly recovered. 'Wait. This is my chance! Just be concise, clear, and confident.' "IT'S JUST THE MEDIA OUTSIDE! THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!" Tenya yelled out to everyone, causing those who had their eyes closed to look at him now, including Taiyō. "EVERYTHING'S FINE! WE'RE U.A. STUDENTS, WE NEED TO REMAIN CALM AND PROVE WHAT WE'RE THE BEST OF THE BEST!" Tenya told everyone as some of the students heard police sirens.
"Sounds like the chaos is over. Fortunately, I have what we need." Harmony claimed as she tapped her device again. "Lord Veil, I have the data. We can put our plan into motion and wipe out this plague." "Good. Take the back way and avoid contact if possible." Veil told Harmony as she was walking out when she was spotted by a blond werewolf wearing a mussel. "What are you doing here?!" He demanded angrily as he then snarled at her, causing her to smirk as she calmly pulled out her Halberd. "Saving the world." She simply said as a yellow suit of armor enveloped her body, now resembling a jaguar!
(Class 1-A)
A good while after the incident, everyone returned to their classes. "It's time, class rep. Let's begin." "Right. First order of business should be figuring out who'll be the class officers, but first I want to make an announcement. As of today, I will be stepping down from my position and handing the reins to Momo Yaoyorozu, thereby making Tenya Ida her deputy." Taiyō informed everyone. "You see, after I stopped the stampede, and prevented injured students from being further harmed, I realized that Tenya found out the cause of the alarm and got everyone in line. I just got their attention." He stated as people agreed with him. "This is a waste of time." "You don't get a say in this!" Taiyō tells Aizawa, who was in his sleeping bag. "If Midoriya is truly alright with this…" Tenya paused as he got up from his desk. "… then I humbly accept. I pledge to carry out the duties of deputy to the best of my abilities!" He finished.
(Infirmary)
Meanwhile, Recovery Girl, Takaru, and Aguri were looking over an unconscious blonde man on one of the beds. "Strange. I've healed his injuries, but his Quirk is still not coming back." "That's because he no longer has it." Aguri claimed as he pulled out a lighter and held a blue flame up to his face as Takaru opened one of his eyes, showing nothing out of the ordinary. "When a Quirked individual is presented with a Madō flame, their eyes react to it like a Horror's, but on a much smaller scale. But with no Quirk, they show nothing." "Not sure why that happens in the first place, but we do know that the reaction can't be recreated after a Horror consumes said Quirk." Takaru stated to Recovery Girl. "Then we were attacked by one?" "Doubt it. Every Knight and Priest would've noticed it. This is worse, much worse."
Back at the gate, the wall blocking the reporters was utterly destroyed as Nezu, a person in a spacesuit, and a black-haired woman wearing a black corset looked at the damage. "How were ordinary members of the press able to bypass our security system?" Nezu asked when a woman wearing angelic-like garbs approached the crumbled gate with a man wearing a uniform similar to Wataru's and a mask. "Ma'am, this is a crime scene, you need to leave." The black-haired woman stated, only to get a mere glance before she turned to Nezu. "Nezu. The next generation is in your hands, and you have butterfingers? That is unlike you." "Apologies, Madam Grace, but some Villain actually managed to infiltrate our school." Nezu claimed as Grace and the Knight walked up to him. "Then what was the motive behind this?" The Knight asked as he lifted his mask enough to show just Nezu, revealing him to be Wataru. "For now, we are unsure if this was purely a show of power… or a declaration of war. Not only that, but someone got inside the building itself and took down Hound Dog, while taking his Quirk."
(Thursday, 1:50 PM/0:50 PM)
"Today's training will be a little different. You'll have three instructors. Me, All Might, and a third faculty member will be keeping tabs on you." Aizawa informed the class as they were now curious. "Sir! What kinda training is this?" "Rescue. you'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks, stuff like that." He stated as most of the class got excited. "Guys, I'm not finished yet. What you wear in this exercise is up to you. And I know you're excited about costumes, but keep in mind that you haven't gotten used to them yet, and they might limit your abilities." Aizawa further explained as he pulled out a button that causes the rows in the wall to present the cases. "This special training's at an off-campus facility, so we'll be taking a bus to get there. That's all, get ready." 'We're doing rescue training? Hm, that's a pleasant surprise.' Taiyō thought to himself.
Moments later, everyone was outside as the bus arrived. "WHERE THE HELL ARE MY GAUNTLETS?!" "Thank All Might. He was able to follow my request and get rid of those to minimize the damage caused by you." Taiyō told Katsuki as Momo and Tenya walked out of the bus. "Alright everyone. Viewing the layout of the bus, Ida and I have formulated a placement plan for everyone to minimize roughhousing and arguments." Momo told everyone as Tenya blew a whistle. Minutes later, everyone was boarded as the bus drove to their destination. "This isn't half bad. Good work, Tenya." "Don't thank me. Thank Yaoyorozu for suggesting that she and I tag along to retrieve the bus. It would've ruined any boarding strategy." Tenya claimed as he sat next to Mina. "And with the layout, we were able to keep you and Bakugo separated at all times." Momo stated. "If we're pointing out the obvious, then there's something I wanna say. About you, actually." Tsuyu said as she turned to look at Taiyō. "What is it, Tsuyu?" "I told you to call me "Tsu"." She told him before continuing. "Your lack of a real left hand. How did you lose it?" She asked as Taiyō looked surprised by the blunt question. "Well…"
(Flashback, 5 years ago)
In a forest, Garo and a gray Knight with a fox motif clashed swords as the latter stomped on the former's right leg, staggering him, before he went for a downward strike! Unfortunately as Garo tried to block the strike, he was too late as the blade went through his arm, severing it as the sword went flying while Garo's armor vanished, revealing Taiyō raving in agony!
(Present day)
"… let's just say, that I lost it due to a reckless Freak, playing 'Hero'." Taiyō said as he took off his metal arm. "Wait. What do you mean by 'freak'?" Kirishima asked. "It's what we call those with Quirks, given that they ruined our lives." Taiyō states as puts the arm back on while glaring at it, suddenly turning it into a lance as everyone near him jumps in shock. "So… sounds like you've experienced the worst of people, to say the least, but it doesn't have to be like that at U.A. or with us." Kirishima claimed as he then looked to Mina. "Take Mina Ashido for example. She looks like one of the furthest things from a human…" "Hey!" "… but she's cheerful and kind. Plus, she's willing to help others no matter what." He told Taiyō as Mina softly smiled at the remarks. "He's right, of course the same can be said about himself. We've both seen some of the bad this world can churn out, but there's always a goody now-and-then!" Mina told Taiyō as his lance-arm returned to normal while his mood lightened.
After a while, the bus arrived at a building with a giant dome and a person in a spacesuit at the stop. "Hello, everyone, I've been waiting for you!" They said with a woman's voice as almost everyone started muttering. "Woo-hoo! Thirteen is one of my favorite Heroes!" Ochaco states with excitement. "I can't wait to show you what's inside!" Thirteen said as she motioned for the class to follow. After entering, they see all sorts of areas. "Holy crap! It looks like some kind of amusement park!" "That's because it was an amusement park, before it was shut down and bought by U.A.. Here, you'll face shipwrecks, landslides, fires both wild and domestic, windstorms, et cetera. I remodeled this facility to prepare students like you to deal with different types of disasters. I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. Or you can call it, U.S.J.!" Thirteen informed them with excitement before Aizawa walked over to her. "Hey, shouldn't All Might be here already? Lemme guess, he booked an interview instead." "Actually, something happened." Thirteen told Aizawa, changing his tune. "Apparently while he was doing hero work, a villain managed to hurt him. He's getting patched up as we speak." "If All Might got hurt, then we can't do anything but proceed in stride." Taiyō told them as they looked at him. "He's right. But before we begin, let me just say some things. Listen carefully. I'm sure you're aware that I have a powerful Quirk. It's called Black Hole, and I can use it to suck up anything and turn it into dust." She told them as Ochaco nodded over-excitedly. "Isn't that due to its high gravitational pull?" "Indeed, which is why my Quirk could also be very much used to kill." Thirteen confirmed, getting Tenya and Ochaco to gasp in shock as the latter stopped. "Some of you also have Quirks that can be dangerous. Or in your case Taiyō Midoriya, the arm that you use can be dangerous due to its versatility. In our superhuman society, all Quirks are certified and stringently regulated, so we often overlook how unsafe they can actually be. Please don't forget that if you lose focus or you make the wrong move, your powers can be deadly. Even if you're trying to do something virtuous like rescue someone. Thanks to Aizawa's fitness tests, you have a solid idea of your Quirk's potential. And because of All Might's combat training, you likely experienced how dangerous your powers can be when used against other people. Carry those lessons over to this class. Today, you're going to learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives. You won't be using your powers to attack enemies or each other, only to help. After all, that's what being a Hero's all about. Ensuring the safety of others.that's all I have to say. Thank you so much for listening." She said as she then bowed to them before they cheered. "Right. Now that's over…" Aizawa was saying when some of the lights went of and the fountain in the center started acting funky, getting everyone's attention as they then looked to the center and saw a black with purple smoke suddenly appear! "Don't move and stay together!" Aizawa told them as they saw a hoard of people come out, along with a young man covered in hands, a man with white hair, a jian sword, and a black corset, and a woman with long black hair and lipstick in a black dress. "Wait, did the training start? I thought we were rescuing people." Kirishima asked as Taiyō turned his arm into a kite shield! "To arms! TO ARMS!" Taiyō yelled out as he drew his sword! "Stay back!" Aizawa shouted, causing some of the students, but enrage Taiyō! "SINCE WHEN DO YOU EVER CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF?!" He yelled out in hatred as the last Villain came out, the Nomu from two nights ago, only now turned into a large Viral Horror with no exposed brain and a thagomizer on a new tail! "Taiyō! A three Horrors just appeared!" Zaruba shouted, catching everyone's attention! "Dekiru… what's a Horror?"
