I did make a promise, didn't I? While there have been times I needed to get rid of some stories due to personal reasons… because of how popular Saiyaman Plus Ultra was, I knew I couldn't let it die. Hence why I'm rebooting it.
Now just to be clear, that doesn't mean EVERYTHING will change. But now that I'm a more mature writer, I learned that I made several mistakes in the main story that I thought I could improve upon. But what I will confirm that is staying is Gohan x Momo since I genuinely support this ship.
I'm sure everyone here has seen and/or heard of the new movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and recently, I saw it. All I can say is WOW IT WAS AWESOME! Finally, Gohan and Piccolo get major screen time instead of the cliche 'Goku and Vegeta come to save the day.' I like those two, but seeing them save the day EVERY time gets really old. Before you guys ask… Yes, I will use Super Hero in this story in some form. Probably won't happen until later on, but it will happen.
With that out of the way, let's get to the actual reboot.
Here we go!
Heroes. Villains.
These words are known throughout the planet Earth. Long ago, a young baby suddenly began to glow as bright as the sun. This child was the very first Quirk user and since then, the number of people with powers grew exponentially. With this new rise of superpowered humans, new laws and regulations grew, as well as a growing tide of chaos.
But little did the world know, even more trouble would come from below the planet and even beyond the stars. Aliens, demons, even conquerors came to Earth, seeking to either rule or destroy the world.
However, despite this, a small group of people fought to protect the planet, though no one knew who these people were.
This is the story of one of these people, who grew to become Earth's number #1 hero.
"Oh my god. Those people are still inside the bus!" A reporter on TV said in dread as the camera showed video of a bus on its side, slowly burning up. Bangs could be heard from inside the vehicle as firefighters tried desperately to put it out.
"If they don't do something soon, those people will burn!"
"Where are the pros?!"
"Hang on, I think… is that All Might?!"
"HA HA HA HA HA!" Coming from the side of the bus was an extremely large man with a very tall and overly-muscular figure. His design resembles a typical western comic book superhero. He has short blonde hair with two distinct bangs that stand up over his head. His hair casts a dark shadow over his face, hiding everything but his deep blue eyes. His costume consisted of a skin-tight blue bodysuit decorated with a red symbol that somewhat resembles a "Y". The symbol is designed with a white diamond at its center, with white lines connected to it that trace from his chest to his back shoulders. The lines were trimmed with the aforementioned red symbol. The symbol appeared to have wings on the sides that ran from atop his torso before ending around his back. Over his back was a similar red and white design absent of the white diamond. Large white patches with red trims covered each side of his hips before ending at his lower thighs. He wore a gold belt that had a silver buckle with red eyes. His forearm sleeves were colored in gold that each had white lines covered in blue accents over his wrists. He had spiked fins on the sides of his arms and his feet were covered in shin-length gold boots trimmed with white and red accents. On his back and under his arms were the survivors of the crash.
"Look, he's got them!"
"HA HA HA HA HA! Fear not citizens, help has arrived!" The man known as All Might declared confidently before he gave a rather large grin. "Because I am here!"
"Wow, he's so awesome!" A young, cheery male voice called out while staring into the TV. The speaker was a young male that looked to be seven with spiky black, unkempt hair and matching eyes. His attire consisted of a purple shirt with matching pants, a sleeveless blue vest with Japanese symbols on them and black shoes. The young boy continued to watch the news report with glee. "Man, being a hero is so cool."
"Hey Goten. What'cha watching, Sport?" An older, much mature voice asked the boy curiously. The speaker was a male in his late teens with pale skin, spiky black hair with a single bang over his right eye and matching eyes. He wore a white button down shirt with a black vest over it, brown pants and black dress shoes. In his hands was a pile of books, each with different subjects to learn from and on his left hips was a yellow book bag.
"All Might just saved a bunch of people from a fire. Check it out!" Goten called out while pointing at the TV, making his older brother raise a brow.
"All Might, that was the eleventh rescue you did this month, how does that make you feel?" The reporter questioned the large hero.
"As long as the innocent are safe, that is all the thanks I need. As I tell all my fans at home, remember these words." All Might then flexed his muscles and smiled proudly. "Go beyond…..PLUS ULTRA!"
"He's the coolest superhero ever, Gohan! I wish I could meet him!" Goten stood up while standing high and proud, putting his hands on his hips while grinning like All Might. "Plus Ultra!" This got a laugh from his older brother.
"That's the spirit, bro. Maybe if you work hard enough, you can enroll in U.A like me." Gohan encouraged the younger boy, much to his joy.
"But that's IF you work hard on your studies." A new voice, this one being female, spoke up from behind Gohan, making the older of the two males turn around. The speaker was an older woman, wearing a yellow uniform with a purple cloth tied on the back with all of her black hair put into a bun and white Chinese earrings.
"Awww. But what does math have to do with being a hero?!" Goten whined to the woman with a pout.
"No butts, young man. It's time to study." The woman, known as Chi-Chi, sternly told her youngest son, making him moan in disappointment before he turned off the TV, walking back to his room. "Now Gohan, I just finished cleaning your Gi, but please don't rip it apart, okay?" She then took out what looked like a purple Gi, offering it to Gohan.
"Thanks mom." Gohan took the Gi before he sniffed it a bit, smiling at the clean smell it gave off. "It'd be a bit embarrassing if I just sweated in my normal clothes."
"Do you have enough pencils?" Chi-Chi asked as Gohan put the Gi in his bag.
"Yup." Gohan kneeled down to tie his shoes.
"Are you full?"
"Ah-huh." He stretched his back a bit as Chi-Chi bit her lower lip.
"Maybe you want me to comb-"
"Mom, I'm fine." Gohan backed away so she wouldn't mess with his hair. He loved her to death, but there were times she went a bit far. "Look, I have everything I need for the test."
"I know you do." The older woman sighed before she smiled at him. "I know your father would be proud of what you're about to accomplish. He's probably smiling at us right now." Both of them laughed a bit since that might actually be true. "Just don't overdo it, okay?"
"Who, me? Never." Gohan jokingly told his mom before she gave him a hug.
"You'll pass. You're the smartest young man I know." Chi-Chi muttered as Gohan softly smiled, returning her hug.
"Thank you. I promise I won't fail." Taking out the new smart phone Bulma got him for his birthday, Gohan checked the time and widened his eyes a bit. "I gotta go!" Ending his embrace with his mother, Gohan gave her a quick wave before he ran towards the door. "Bye mom!"
"Bye sweetie!" As Gohan ran out of the house, Chi-Chi could vaguely see the silhouette of her late husband, making her smile. 'Oh Goku. I wish you were here to see our boy go off.'
As Gohan ran a few feet away from his house, he took a deep breath before shouting. "Nimbus!" One moment later, a strange yellow cloud flew towards Gohan, stopping right in front of him before he jumped on. "Ready? Cause this'll be a long trip. Let's go!" With that, the son of Goku went flying on his magic cloud, ready to take a certain test.
'Musutafu, Japan. Sometime later'
Because of the outrageous distance between Musutafa and his home Mt. Paozu, it took Gohan some time to get to where he needed to go, even with Nimbus. Even though he could have flown himself, Gohan preferred to keep his flying on the down low. The city was rather bustling, with its people greeting each other casually and going about their day. "Wow. So this is where U.A High is, huh? This place looks amazing." Gohan said out loud as Nimbus began to fly lower, though not enough for people to see it. The yellow cloud decided to land Gohan near an empty alleyway, just like in West Coast city. Gohan jumped off the fluffy cloud before giving it a smile. "Thanks for the ride, Nimbus. Wish me luck." Giving it a quick wave, Gohan ran out of the alleyway and into the rather busy sidewalk. He looked at his phone and noticed it was twenty minutes till nine. "Good. Made it with some time to spare." After crossing the street safely, Gohan reached the front of the school and couldn't help but stop in his tracks, taking in the scenery. "Amazing. I wonder if Bulma would ever make a Capsule Corp building here." During the years after the Cell Games, Capsule Corp has been expanding its horizon, cooperating with cities and companies around the country in order to help them grow. It made Gohan wonder if they use capsules in U.A.
"Woah. Check out the cutie."
"Tall and handsome. My type."
"Wonder what school he came from." As Gohan continued to marvel at U.A, he overheard several comments from teenagers his age walking by him, with some girls checking him out.
'Wow. Not even a minute and I already caught people's attention. Great.' Gohan thought while rubbing the back of his head.
"Hey. Are you okay?" A cheery female voice called out, getting Gohan's attention. He looked forward and saw two people: a male and a female talking. He had to raise a brow as he saw the male was floating sideways before the girl helped him get on his feet. Judging by the way she touched her fingers together, he deduced that she used a Quirk. As they talked, Gohan got a better view of what they looked like. The girl had a petite figure with fair skin, big brown round eyes, shoulder-length brown hair which sports two long locks beside her face and a short bob at the back. She wore a brown hoodie with black pants, matching shoes, a pink scarf and a black backpack.
The person she was talking to was a male with green eyes, messy, dark green hair with black highlights and four symmetrical freckles underneath both cheeks. He wore a black shirt and pants, red shoes and a big yellow backpack. The girl giggled a bit as the boy looked at her in shock. "I stopped you with my Quirk. I'm sorry I didn't ask first, but I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you." She then began to walk, but not before giving the boy a wave goodbye. "Well, good luck. Bye." With that, she ran inside, leaving a dumbfound boy and a smiling Gohan.
'She stopped him from falling willingly. I bet she's gonna be a great hero.' Gohan glanced at the male, who suddenly had a victorious smile as a blush crept on his face. 'Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to talk to some of my future classmates.'
Given how this was the first time Gohan was actually GOING to school, he figured it was as good a time as any to socialize.
'I just talked to a girl!' The green haired boy thought happily, though it should be pointed out that he technically didn't say anything. Regardless, this rather crazy day was getting off to a great start, even though he almost fell like an idiot! Nothing could ruin this for-
"Hey."
"AHH!" Hearing someone call him out caused the boy to jump before he fell face first on the ground, getting a few laughs from those walking by him.
"Whoops. Didn't mean to startle you." He slowly looked up, only to see a tall teenager towering over him, offering him a hand. Though he was caught off guard by the newcomer, the green haired teen could tell from the look in his eyes that he didn't mean any harm. "Sorry about that." Gohan offered the boy a hand, which he took before standing up.
"Ummm, n-no. It was my fault." The boy confessed bashfully while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Why don't we start all over? My name's Son Gohan. But you can just call me Gohan." Gohan once again offered the boy a hand, which he nervously shook.
"M-my name is Izuku Midoriya. It's a p-pleasure to meet you, G-Gohan." The newly identified 'Izuku' said with a nervous smile.
"Nice to meet you, Izuku. You applying for UA too?" Gohan asked, not even bothering to use Izuku's last name.
"Oh y-yeah. I'm actually one of two people from my school who applied." Izuku revealed before he blinked a bit. "W-Wait. Did you call me by my given name?"
"That's right! I forgot." Gohan bonked his open hand with a fist, realizing his mistake. "People like to be called by their family name. Sorry."
"N-No no! It's… fine, I guess." Izuku answered while waving his hands before he looked away. "I was just… surprised, So-I mean… G-Gohan."
'Huh. Guess he's shy.' Gohan deduced, given how Izuku was acting. He did a lot of research on Japan and its customs, but since he didn't get out much, he was used to simply calling people by their first name.
"Stupid Deku." For some reason, Izuku suddenly flinched in shock as he and Gohan turned around, only to see an ash blonde male with red eyes walking up to them, wearing a black coat, matching pants and shoes and a white scarf with a blue backpack.
'Deku? I thought his name was Izuku. Must be a nickname.' Gohan thought as he looked at the blonde.
"Oh, Kacchan." Izuku spoke up as the ash blonde male glared at him.
"Get out of my way before I set you on fire." He said in a deadly tone, getting Izuku to jump back, allowing him to walk into the building.
"Hey, that's the guy that fought the slug monster."
"I think his name's Bakugo."
"Man, I wonder what his Quirk is."
"Hey Izuku." The green haired male turned to the half Saiyan, who looked rather confused. "Do you think you can tell me what that was all about? I mean, that guy said he'd set you on fire if you didn't move. That didn't sound friendly."
"Oh, that was the other applicant from my school. His real name is Katsuki Bakugo, but I usually call him Kacchan." Izuku explained, making Gohan raise a brow.
"So he's your friend?" Gohan questioned, only for Izuku to look down.
"We were when we were kids, but now? I don't know." Izuku muttered in a sad tone. Gohan didn't know what happened between the two, but he knew he had to change the subject.
"So what's your Quirk, anyway? I'd love to see it." In the blink of an eye, Izuku went from being depressed to being nervous, something Gohan quickly noticed. "Hey, is something wrong?"
"Oh, i-it's nothing." Izuku let out a nervous chuckle, trying to come up with some sort of excuse. "B-but what about you? What's your Q-Quirk?" Just as Gohan was about to speak…..
"Watch out!" A purple blur flew towards the two, trying desperately to move. Thanks to his instincts, Gohan stepped back, but the same couldn't be said for Izuku, who screamed as the figure stopped just an inch away from him, causing him to fall on his back. "Crap. Sorry about that, greeny." As Gohan helped Izuku stand up, the two got a better look at their uninvited guest. It was a male who was surprisingly shorter than them with fair skin, brown eyes and blonde hair kept up with a hint of purple in the middle. His attire consisted of a purple long sleeved shirt with a lighter purple jacket over it, navy blue shorts, yellow shoes and a red skateboard on his feet. But the strange thing was he had a long purple and white tail swinging on his back and the small cat ears on top of his head. The stranger kicked up the skateboard, catching it with an arm as he grinned at the two. "Man, I was trying to get here without crashing. Looks like I lost a bet."
"Hello." Gohan greeted while extending his hand. "Name's Son Gohan, but you can call me Gohan." The blonde looked at the tall figure that was Gohan before shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Goliath. I'm Odd. Odd Della Robbia." The newcomer introduced himself before glancing at Izuku. "And you are?"
"S-Sorry. My name is Izuku Midoriya." Izuku and Odd shook hands.
"Midoriya and Gohan, huh? Now that's a friendship if I've ever seen one." Odd commented before looking over their shoulders, seeing some female participants walking in the building. "What are you guys doing out here? The ladies are inside."
"Ladies? Inside?" Gohan looked at his phone and gasped as he saw it was 8:55! "The test's gonna start in five minutes!" Izuku gasped loudly and even Odd widened his eyes as his cat tail straightened.
"Awww man! And here I thought I'd be able to meet some ladies." Odd complained in disappointment before he scratched his head. "Aww, screw it. I can do that later. Come on, boys!"
And with that, the trio ran inside.
'Testing hall, 9 A.M'
As luck would have it, the trio were able to make it inside, sitting in their assigned seats. However, much to Izuku's shock, they were each separated: Gohan on the far left, Odd on the far right and himself in the middle. 'Wow. I know there would be a lot of students, but I didn't think the room would be THIS big.' Gohan thought in slight shock. Today, he was about to officially take a test in an actual school rather than his living room with his mother. He looked around the room, trying to find Izuku or Odd. Thanks to his training with Goku and Piccolo, he was able to sense their energy: Odd looked relaxed while Izuku… kinda looked overwhelmed. 'I guess I'm not the only one who's nervous.'
"Excuse me. Is this seat taken?" A cute female voice called out next to Gohan.
"You can go ahe-huh?" As Gohan turned to greet the girl, he discovered no one was there. Though for some odd reason, there was a floating green sweater with a navy blue shirt and gray shoes standing next to him.
"Awesome. Thank you!" The floating clothes then sat next to Gohan, putting down a pink backpack as he kept staring at it in bewilderment. "Wow, this place is so big. I wonder how we'll do on the test."
"Uh-huh." Gohan muttered while blinking, wondering if his eyes were playing a trick on him.
"But I guess if you study REALLY hard, it'll be easy." The floating clothes took out a pencil bag that was decorated with stickers.
"Sure..." The floating clothes then turned to Gohan before giggling, noticing the confused expression on his face.
"You aren't going crazy. I'm an actual girl.." The right sleeve was extended towards Gohan. "My name's Toru Hagakure. What's your name?"
"It's… Son Gohan. But call me Gohan." He reached out and much to his surprise, he felt a small, soft hand grab his own, shaking it. "You're invisible."
"Geez, what was your first clue?" From the tone of her voice, she wasn't angry. Rather she was just teasing him.
"S-sorry, I just never met someone invisible before." Gohan confessed with a nervous chuckle, making the invisible girl giggle once more.
"Don't worry. I'm just messing with you." Toru reassured him. "But it's nice to meet you, Gohan."
"Same here, Toru." Gohan greeted her with a smile. "So, is there a way you can.. turn off your Quirk?" Her clothes moved left and right, indicating that she was shaking her head.
"Not really. I can't really stop it." Toru revealed before she raised her left sleeve, which seemed to indicate she was raising a fist. "But that doesn't mean I can't be a hero!" A bit surprised by her bubbly attitude, Gohan couldn't help but smile. However, before the two could continue, the lights began to turn on as a lone figure was seen in front of the room. They were a tall, slender man with long, spiky blonde hair and a small mustache. He wears a pair of headphones with the word "HAGE" written on the headband and a pair of sunglasses. His outfit consists of a black jacket with an upturned collar complete with studs. He sports a tan, studded shoulder pads, black pants with a red studded belt, black boots, and black fingerless gloves. His neck is completely covered by a directional speaker.
"What's up, U.A candidates?! Thanks for tuning into me, your school D.J." The speaker then opened his arms with a big smile. "Come on, everyone! Let me hear ya!" He then cupped his ear, ready for someone to say something.
… only for the whole room to be silent.
'Tough crowd.' Gohan mentally chuckled while sweatdropping slightly at the lack of response from the candidates.
"Keeping it mello, huh? That's fine, I'll skip straight to the main show. Let's talk about how this practical exam works, okay?" He then pointed his fingers at everyone. "Are you ready?!"
And yet again, no one said anything.
*Clap, Clap*
"Woooooooooo! Go Present Mic!" However, this time, Odd clapped while cheering for Present Mic, who grinned.
"Looks like we got a fan in the audience. Rocking!" Everyone sweatdropped at Odd, who shrugged while giving a grin.
"Oh my god, that's Present Mic. So cool!" Izuku muttered with stars in his eyes. "I listen to his radio show every day of the week. It's so crazy that all the U.A teachers are pro heroes."
"Will you shut up?" Bakugo said with an irritated tone, sitting next to his former classmate.
"Now, just like your application said, today you rockin' boys and girls will be out there conducting ten-minute mock battles in super-hi urban settings." The large tv screen behind Present Mic showed seven groups, each representing a letter from A to G. "After I drop the mic here, you'll head to your specified battle center. Sounds good?" Again, NO ONE said anything in response, even Odd, who looked at his own card while tilting his head.
'So because of the amount of students here, they want to split us up so they can see how we do even better. I wonder what we'll have to face out there.' Gohan thought as he looked at his own card, which had the letter B on it.
"Awww…" Toru moaned as her card had the letter C.
"Looks like we won't be fighting in the same course. Sorry, Toru." Gohan apologized, feeling bad that they wouldn't be in the same testing arena.
"I guess it's okay." Toru muttered before she perked up, 'looking' at Gohan. "Promise when we finish, we'll tell each other how we did, okay?"
"Sure." Gohan agreed with a smile as a 3-D model of several buildings appeared.
"Okay okay. Let's check out your targets." Present Mic got everyone's attention once more. On each corner of the screen, four robot-like shadows appeared with one having 1P, another having 2P and the third having 3P. "There are three types of faux villains in every battle center. You'll earn points based on their level of difficulty, so better choose wisely. Your goal in this trial is to use your Quirk to raise your score by shredding these faux villains like a mid-song guitar solo." Present Mic then pointed at the crowd. "But make sure you keep things heroic. Attacking other examinees is a U.A no-no, ya dig?"
'That seems fair. That way, no one will lose any points if they were attacked.' Gohan had to admit that the system U.A made for the physical test was impressive.In the crowd, a participant raised his hand.
"Excuse me, sir. But I have a question." The candidate asked while standing up.
"Hit me!" The spotlight turned on over the speaker, who was a tall male with tanish skin, dark blue hair and matching eyes, wearing a tan business suit. He lifted the paper he was given earlier, pointing at the fourth robot.
"You've listed four types of villains, not three. With all due respect, if this is an error on official UA materials, it is shameful. We are exemplary students. We expect the best from Japan's most notable school. A mistake such as this won't do." The candidate explained with a professional tone.
*FART*
Before the boy could go on, a loud fart erupted from the right. Odd was seen blowing into his hands, creating a loud fart-like sound. "Nerd!" This got some laughs from those in the room while the candidate glared at him.
"Have you no shame?! This is a respectable school, and you're here making disgusting sounds?" The candidate said to Odd with an angry tone.
"Hey, all I'm saying is that you're talking way too much, bro. There's gotta be a reason, right Mic?" Odd questioned the pro, who snapped his fingers.
"Actually, examinee 5-4-6-1 is right." Present Mic revealed. "The fourth villain type is worth zero points. That guy's just an obstacle we'll be throwing in your way. There's one in every battle center. Think of it as a hurdle you should try to avoid. It's not that it can't be beaten, but there's kinda no point. I recommend my listeners to try to ignore it and focus on the ones toppin' the charts."
"Thank you very much. Please continue." The blue haired male bowed at Present Mic, but not before sending Odd a glare.
'Okay, so instead of focusing on the big guy, I should try to take on the ones with the most points. Good thing there's only one in each center. Otherwise, it would be tough to get any points.' This wasn't the first time Gohan had to fight tiny grunts and leave the big guy alones. Only difference is that he gets points for taking down the grunts.
"That's all I got for you today. I'll sign off with a little present. A sample of our school motto. As general Napoleon Bonaparte once laid down: "A true hero is one who overcomes life's misfortunes." Mm-hm. Now that's a tasty soundbite. You ready to go beyond?" Present Mic opened his arms to the candidates. "Let's hear a Plus Ultra!" Odd whistled loudly while clapping at his idol. "Good luck!"
'Battle Center B, one hour later'
After taking the written portion of the test, the applicants all had a chance to change into more appropriate clothes for practical exam. Standing a ways away from U.A was a large set of buildings, with a sizable gate surrounding it. "So, this is where the practical exam's gonna be, huh?" Gohan said to no one in particular while smiling. He changed out of his nice clothes and into his purple fighting Gi, the same one he had Piccolo create during the Cell games, only he had a red sash around his waist and matching wrist bands. Because he wasn't wearing his white turbin, his impressive pecs were on display, getting some of the girls to look at him with visible blushes.
"Yo Gohan!" The half Saiyan turned to see Odd running up to him, only he was wearing a simple purple shirt, black shoes and white running shoes.
"Hey Odd. What's up?" Gohan greeted his new friend, who noticed his impressive physique. Looking past Gohan, he could see girls practically oogle his body, much to his jealousy.
"Awww Gohan. Why didn't you tell me?" Odd playfully whined.
"Tell you what?" Gohan in genuine confusion as Odd punched his chest.
"Why didn't you tell me you had the body of a greek god? Man, you know how many ladies you can have if you showed off? I'm jealous." Odd explained, making Gohan blink as he looked at his chest.
"Is it really that impressive?" Gohan asked, making Odd shake his head.
"You seriously asked that? Man, you are too innocent." Letting out a tired sigh, Odd looked around and noticed a certain green haired nerd standing not too far away. "Isn't that broccoli head?"
"Broccoli head?" Looking over his shoulder, Gohan immediately saw Izuku, who was wearing a teal tracksuit, looking at the walls intently. "Oh, you mean Izuku."
"Yeah, that's what I meant." Odd said like it was no big deal, making the half Saiyan chuckle.
'So this is it.' Izuku thought, looking at the wall nervously. 'Time to put ten months of training with All Might to the test. Time to give it my all.' Despite trying to sound brave, Izuku began to shiver in fear. 'I will become a hero, just like I always dreamed. I won't let myself down! '
"Ooh Izuku~" A tail snuck behind his head, ticking the back of his ear.
"AHHH!" The most obvious reaction was Izuku jumping in surprise, turning around to see a grinning Odd and an apologetic Gohan standing behind him. "D-Della Robba? G-Gohan? What was that for?"
"Just thought you'd need something to take your mind off the test." Odd said innocently, though there was an evil twinkle in his eye.
"Don't worry, Izuku. Just stay calm and do your best." Gohan encourage his friend.
"Easy for you to say, Gohan." Izuku muttered, though he was grateful for the support. "So this is it, huh? A mock battle." Izuku began to look at some of the other students. "These guys don't seem nervous at all. Some of them even have special gear."
"Now that is downright cheating. I wish I had something cool to use." Odd pouted with his arms crossed.
"From what I can tell, they need that gear in order to use their Quirk." Gohan theorized while rubbing his chin. It was honestly shocking to Gohan how so many people needed such interesting equipment. The only gear he ever used was the Saiyan Armor Vegeta gave him and Krillin during their time on Namek. After that, all he needed were his fists and his Ki. Checking out the other candidates, Gohan's eyes widened as he noticed a head of brown hair. "Hey Izuku. Look." Turning to where Gohan was looking, Izuku gasped as the same girl that stopped him from falling was just a few feet away.
"It's her." Izuku whispered in surprise. Odd looked at the two males before looking at what they were talking about. He put two and two together before a grin grew on his face, wrapping an arm around Izuku's shoulder.
"Midoriya, my man. I didn't know you were a lady killer too." Odd teasingly told the grenette.
"H-huh?" Odd gestured towards the girl before Izuku blushed madly, shaking his head. "N-N-No, it's not l-like that! She just stopped me from falling earlier! That's all!"
"Sssssuuuuurrrreeeee it is." Odd didn't believe that, as evident from his grin. "If you want, I can give you some pointers on how to ask her out. A certified Casanova like myself knows the ins and outs of dating."
'Certified?' Gohan thought with a skeptical expression. Odd kinda reminded him of Yamcha and Krillin as they would try to get girlfriends and end up failing. At least Krillin HAS a wife and daughter. "Listen Odd, Izuku's telling the truth. I saw it." A smile crept on Gohan's face as he placed a hand on the green haired male's shoulder. "Why don't you go tell her thanks? I'm sure she'll appreciate it."
"R-Really?" Izuku didn't look like he was on board with that. Mostly cause it involved TALKING to the girl.
"Not like you're gonna lose anything. Just make sure to get her digits, okay?" Odd whispered in Izuku's ears, much to his embarrassment. Though Izuku was caught off guard by Odd's comment, he had to admit Gohan was right. She DID willingly stop him from falling. The least he could do was go over and say thanks. Giving both his new friends a nod, Izuku slowly, and for some reason, robotically began to walk towards her. "Ooh, he needs a LOT of help, huh?" All Gohan did was chuckle nervously. However, just as Izuku was about ten feet away from the girl, a hand was placed on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw…
'Oh crap! He's here too?!' The person who grabbed Izuku's shoulder was the same glasses-wearing candidate from before.
"Awwww, so close." Odd snapped his fingers in disappointment. The glasses-wearing male looked at the girl that helped Izuku earlier, who was taking a few deep breaths.
"She looks like she's trying to focus on the trials ahead." He said in a matter-of-fact tone before looking sternly at Izuku. "What are you going to do? Distract her and ruin her chances to succeed?"
"No, no, no. Of course not! I-"
"If you had talked to her, she wouldn't be able to focus on the trial, would she?" The male asked with a glare. Seeing Izuku's dilemma, Gohan decided to play peacemaker as he walked up to the two, Odd following suit.
"Hey, he wasn't trying to do anything bad. All he wants to do is thank her for earlier." Gohan calmly explained, though now the male was glaring at him.
"Why don't you take a chill pill. Four Eyes?" Odd spoke up, only for the runner turned to see a tall black haired male and the same disrespectful male from before. Almost immediately, he scowled.
"You again. I would like to discuss your behavior during the test." For some odd reason, he was moving his arms like a robot. "It was beyond disrespectful, something that should not be ignored in this facility."
"What's wrong with having fun now and then? Did someone get dumped by his robot girlfriend?" Odd teasingly ask, only for the male to increase his glare.
"I will have you know that my personal relationships are none of your concern." The others students simply watched as Odd and his new 'rival' began to argue.
'Well, I guess they won't get along anytime soon.' Gohan thought while sweatdropped, with Izuku looking rather uncomfortable.
"Right, let's start!" Present Mic shouted from the top of a tower, getting everyone's attention. "Get moving! There are no countdowns in real battles. Run, run, run listeners!"
"Huh?" Izuku turned back, only to see that everyone else was already running towards the Battle Area. "Awww man! I'm already way behind!"
'With Gohan'
'I kinda feel bad leaving Izuku behind.' Gohan thought as he, along with everyone else, were running through the large sectors of the empty suburbs. Closing his eyes, Gohan began to sense everyone's energy and much to his relief, he could feel Izuku running in the Battle Center. 'Good. Hopefully he can get some points. Speaking of points…'
"Hey, look out!" Some of the candidates stopped as a 3 point robot appeared in front of them.
"Alright, time for some action." Odd said while cracking his knuckles. Much to Gohan's shock, Odd's arms slowly began to grow purple fur as sharp claws appeared on his fingernails. He pounced in front of the large robot, spinning his tail with his fingers. "Hey Robocop! Over here!" Seeing one of its targets, the robot raised its arm and swung it, only for Odd to jump a few feet into the air, landing on the side of a building. "Ooh, so close." Again, it tried to swing at Odd, only for him to jump on its head, looking through the small cravise on its neck. "What happens if I do THIS?" Opening his right paw, Odd stabbed it inside before pulling several wires off the robot, causing it to malfunction before falling face first on the ground. Odd backflipped in the air before landing perfectly, giving the shocked candidates a thumbs up. "That's how we do it, Della Robbia style."
"Woah. Nice one, Odd!" Gohan shouted with a smile, genuinely impressed with his friend's agile movements. He then grew serious as another 3 point bot appeared behind Odd. 'Now's my chance.' Opening his palm, Gohan fired a small beam of Ki, piercing through the robot before it exploded. Odd stayed frozen, even as parts of the robot bounced around him as he looked at Gohan in shock.
"Seriously? First you're taller than me, then you have a rock hard body, and your Quirk lets you shoot lasers?!" A small part of the robot hit Odd on the head, causing him to hold it. "Not cool!" Gohan chuckled a bit before a two point and one point robot appeared. Buckling his legs, Gohan rushed towards the robots faster than the eye could see, tearing them apart with a single punch.
"7 minutes left y'all!" Present Mic's voice echoed through the Battle center.
"Better get moving." As Gohan stretched his legs, more robots appeared in front of him, making him smile. "Here we go!" With that, he ran faster than the eye could see, kicking one of the one point robots in the head before it exploded. Not taking a break, he fired a small barrage of Ki blasts at two three pointers, a two pointer and four one point robots, destroying each and every one of them.
"Check that guy out."
"Hey's wrecking them like they're nothing."
"Man, I wish I had his Quirk!" Smiling, Gohan continued to fire more and more Ki blasts at the robots, causing his score to increase dramatically.
Elsewhere, the glasses wearing male from before began to run at high speed with his engine, yes ENGINE legs. Jumping in the air, he delivered a fierce kick to a two point robot, causing it to explode. "That puts me at 45." The male said while wiping some sweat off his brow.
"32 for me."
"Hey, back off, that one's mine!" Standing in the middle of all the chaos was Izuku Midoriya, who was standing at 0 points.
'At this rate, there won't be any enemies left.' Izuku thought with urgence, tears threatening to fall down his cheeks. 'I'm gonna fail!'
'Teacher's Lounge'
Little did the students know, they were being watched by the Teachers of UA High, as well as the Principal. "Clearly, the examinees have no idea how many villains are present, or their locations." The principal said while leaning against his chair. He appears to be a possible combination of several different animals including a dog, mouse or a bear. He mostly resembles a standing humanoid mouse but possesses dog-like paws and a bear-like face. He has black eyes with a large scar going across his right one. He has a long tail and sports an elegant suit with large orange sneakers. "They have limited time, must cover a vast area, and hunt down every last target. Some use information gathering, while others rely on speed to pull ahead of their peers. Of course, remaining calm under pressure can be a huge advantage, as can pure power and combat ability. The most successful students use a combination of all these tactics. They're the ones who rack up the highest scores."
"Hmmm, I'd say this year's group looks promising." One of the teachers said before glancing at a certain image. "Especially that one." Everyone else turned to see a camera, which showed Gohan taking down robot after robot with a confident smile. He fired another Ki blast before jabbing his arm through the robot's head.
"Wow. He's really racking up his score, huh?" Another teacher said, clearly impressed with the black haired male.
"What was his name again?"
"I think it's examinee number 8-2-3-1, Son Gohan."
"Look at his attacks. Don't they remind you of someone?" As the teachers conversed with who Gohan was, a certain viewer stared at him intently. He was a very skinny man with angular features and long limbs. He has spiky, disheveled hair with two bangs framing the sides of his face. He has a very long neck and his eyebrows are absent. He wore a black business suit with a red tie in the middle. The man rubbed his chin, examining every one of Gohan's moves.
'His fighting style: it's so fluent, yet it holds a lot of power.' He thought, as if it felt familiar. 'Who are you, Son Gohan?'
'Back to the Battle center'
*BLAST*
A hole appeared in a 3 point robot before it fell over, revealing a smiling Gohan with his right hand sticking out. "Okay. I should have about 135 now." He said while rolling his wrist. He had to admit, it was good to fight again, even though he wasn't exactly battle hungry like his dad. Plus. he was getting some much needed exercise. "I wonder where Izuku is. I hope he got a few points at least."
*Rumble*
However, the peace and quiet was cut short when the ground suddenly began to shock. Every examinee turned around, shaking in slight fear as a massive figure walked through one of the buildings, revealing the 0 point robot. It stood several stories tall with eight glowing red eyes on its head. The large robot raised its fist before bringing it down on the examinees, causing a large shockwave to occur. Several feet away from the large goliath was Gohan, who looked at the large machine in shock. "Huh. I guess they really don't hold back on the tests." Since the thing was worth zero points, there was no point in fighting it. 'But what if there's someone that needs help?' Closing his eyes, Gohan began to sense out everyone in the Battle Center. He could tell Odd and that blue haired guy, along with the other examinees were running away from the robot… but he also sensed two VERY familiar power levels standing not too far from the robot. "Dammit!" Gohan quickly used his Turbo Speed, running towards the robot. As he ran, the others looked at where he was running in shock.
"Hey Gohan! You're going the wrong way!" Odd shouted, but it fell on deaf ears. "Man, I hope he'll be alright."
'What are they doing? They know this robot isn't worth any points?' Gohan quickly turned the corner and finally saw what was going on. Izuku was currently looking at the large robot, sitting on the ground while fear appeared on his face. "Izuku!" The young man didn't hear the half Saiyan as he continued to look at the robot in shock. In a way, it reminded Gohan how he felt when he fought the Saiyans, or Frieza for the first time.
"Oww!" And if that wasn't bad enough, a cry of pain echoed in front of Gohan, revealing it to be the girl that saved Izuku from falling earlier. Her leg was currently stuck under some rubble as she tried to crawl out.
'Dammit. There's no point in fighting that thing. But I can't just leave them out to die.' Gritting his teeth, Gohan prepared to sprint to their aid… when he suddenly felt a power level rise.
(Play You Say Run)
'I'm sorry I didn't ask first. But I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you.' Those words. Those simple, yet warm words echoed through Izuku's mind before he stood up and began to run towards the robot.
"Izuku, wait!" Gohan began to run after his friend, fearing that he might not have the strength to defeat the large robot. However, before Gohan could reach Izuku, he felt something glowing in his feet before he jumped high in the air. 'Woah. That power.' Gohan quickly shook his thoughts as he looked back at the girl, who watched Izuku jump with pure shock. 'Right. I have to get her out first.' Using his increased speed, Gohan quickly appeared in front of the girl. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Ummmm, ummm…." The girl couldn't really put any words, both from the shock of the two boys in front of her, and from the pain in her legs.
"Hang on." Grabbing the rubble, Gohan lifted it off of her leg before putting her over his shoulder. "Let's go."
"Wait! What about him?!" The girl called out. Gohan glanced back at Izuku, who clenched his right fist as red veins began to glow, ripping his right sleeve. A smile crept on Gohan's face as he continued to take the girl away from the battle.
"He'll be fine, trust me." Was all Gohan said as he ran away, with the girl watching Izuku fight the giant robot with wide eyes.
'Take note, young man.' All Might's words echoed through Izuku's head as he appeared in front of the robot's head. 'Clench your butt cheeks. And yell from the depths of your heart!'
"SMASH!" With that, Izuku landed a devastating punch to the robot's head, causing it to fall back while exploding from the inside. Every single examinee looked at Izuku in pure shock, though Gohan had a proud smile on his face.
'I knew it. He does have the power to be a hero.'
"Holy shit, he's falling!" Soon, the shock turned to horror as Izuku began to fall down, his right arm and legs flapping along with the wind.
"Oh no!" The girl tried to move, only to be gently pushed down by Gohan. "But why-"
"Don't worry. I got this." Giving her a smile, Gohan quickly rushed towards Izuku.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" As Izuku kept falling, he began to think of ways to try and soften his landing. 'Okay, I jumped using One for All, so maybe I can use it to get down too. Just like All Might, landing should be a piece of cake, right? Right. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right!' Unfortunately, he looked back and saw his broken legs flapping like he was an inflatable arm flailing tube man. 'I'm broken! All Might warned me, and I didn't listen! I can barely contain this power, even after ten months of training! And this is just a hair of his Quirk! I got way ahead of myself attacking that giant villain.' Tears fell out of Izuku's eyes as he grabbed his broken arm. He was trying to act like a Pro Hero, when he couldn't even pull off being a sidekick. 'No! This isn't over! There's gotta be something I can do. Wait, a Detroit Smash! It's the only chance I've got to survive. My legs and my right arm are broken, so just one option. I can do this. But if my timing's off, I'm toast.' With a final decision, Izuku pulled his left arm back, waiting for the right time to use a Detroit Smash. "HAAAAAA!" He continued to get closer, and closer, and closer to the ground, waiting to use his power…
Before he completely stopped halfway.
"Huh?" Izuku blinked as he saw he was barely past the top stories of the empty buildings, and yet he was frozen in the air. Looking down, he noticed the girl, the guy with glasses, Odd and everyone else looking at him with gapped mouths and wide eyes. Even the teachers, who were watching the whole thing, gaped in pure shock. The principal even dropped his freshly made cup of tea when he saw what he saw.
"That was impressive, Izuku." Slowly moving his head down, Izuku was greeted to the sight of an upside down Gohan holding his left leg while freaking flying in the air! No wings, no equipment, NOTHING!
"G-Gohan?" Izuku muttered, making Gohan smile.
"Honestly, I'm proud." Gohan replied with a grin.
"But you… but I… falling… you… big robot…" Izuku was so overwhelmed by what was happening that he ended up fainting, though Gohan still had a firm hold of his leg. Chuckling at his reaction, Gohan moved Izuku's body so that he was carrying him bridal style. As he slowly flew down, he took a closer look at Izuku's body. Both his right arm and legs were broken and red and his energy was almost completely drained. 'What kind of Quirk does he have that does this much damage to his body? It's kinda like dad's Kaioken.' Landing on the ground, Gohan gently placed Izuku on the floor, making sure not to hurt him.
"And that's it. Time's up!" The alarm rang through the whole Battle Center, indicating the end of the practical exam.
"Did you see that dude's attack? I didn't think he had that kind of strength."
"Me either. Looked like some kind of reinforcement Quirk, but...there was something else."
"If he had this kind of Quirk, why didn't he get any points?"
"Probably cause he was messing with us."
"Joke's on him. How's he gonna pass with zero points?"
"True, but that guy who caught him. What kind of Quirk was that?" As the examinees muttered about what they saw, Gohan was kneeling next to Izuku with a small frown.
'Damn, I wish I had a Senzu Bean on me. Or at least bring Dende to heal him.' Gohan thought, trying to figure out what to do to help.
"Very nice. Good work all around. You're all heroes in my eyes, every one of you" Gohan was brought out of his thoughts as a new voice spoke out, getting everyone's attention. The speaker was a short, elderly woman with gray hair styled into a bun that has a syringe looped through it. She wears a doctor's lab coat and a dress with yellow and red vest-like designs on either side, two yellow buttons, and a pink belt. She wears pink boots and has a helmet on her head. In addition, she walks with a cane designed like a syringe. The elderly woman walked up to Gohan and Izuku, with the former standing up. "Especially you, young man."
"Oh, it wasn't a big deal." Gohan bashfully admitted, making the old woman smile.
"Stick your hand out, dear." Doing as he was told, Gohan opened his right hand, only for the elderly woman to give him some candy. "Have some gummies."
"Ummm, thank you." Gohan gave her a small bow as she walked past him.
"Yes yes. Don't eat them all at once, okay?" She walked over to Izuku, who was still unconscious from Gohan saving him. "Oh my goodness. You were hurt this badly by your own Quirk, sonny?"
"Yeah, he was. Do you think you can help him?" Gohan asked with a concerned tone.
"Of course I can. They don't call me Recovery Girl for nothing hun." Recovery Girl answered, making Gohan sigh in relief. He didn't know anyone else aside from Dende who could heal wounds fast, and judging by this woman's power level, she could do just that.
*TCH*
However, instead of emitting green energy from her hands like a certain god, Recovery Girl began kissing the air… before her lips stretched out and stuck on Izuku's head like an Anteater. "Give me some sugar."
"Huh?" Okay, NOW Gohan had seen everything. It wasn't exactly the WEIRDEST thing he has ever seen, but it was up there. But the weirdest part of this was that when Recovery Girl backed up from Izuku, his arms and legs began to glow green before they slowly, but surely healed. "W-Woah. That's amazing."
"Thank you. My Quick lets me heal all wounds as long as they have some stamina left." Recovery Girl explained before she looked at Gohan.. "Are you injured too?"
"Oh, nonono. I'm alright." Gohan waved his hands, not wanting to be kissed like Izuku.
"Anyone else?" Like Gohan, everyone shook their heads. However, a certain engine-legged Quirk User looked at Izuku and Gohan closely.
'I wonder: what if the exam has other parameters I didn't take into account?' He thought before gasping mentally, staring at Izuku's body. 'It's possible.'
"Alright. Now all I need to do is to call someone to help me carry this body." Before Recovery Girl could do anything, Gohan picked up Izuku like before.
"I can take him to your office." Gohan offered kindly.
"Are you sure about that?" Recovery Girl asked with a raised brow.
"It's the least I could do after what he did." A warm smile crept on Recovery Girl's face.
"He truly is lucky to have a friend like you." The nurse confessed, making Gohan look at Izuku for a moment before he smiled.
"I think I'm the lucky one." With that, the two began to walk out of the crowd. However, a certain brown haired girl was looking at Izuku's unconscious body with a small dust of pink on her cheeks.
'One week later, Midoriya Residence'
One week has passed since the entrance exams for UA High were taken. On the day Izuku used One for All for the first time, he spent about a few hours in Recovery Girl's office. He asked her how he got there and she explained how Gohan willingly carried him there. When he asked where he was, she simply said he had to go home after he changed. A small part of Izuku was bummed since he wanted to thank him for what he did, but Recovery Girl told him that they might meet again one day. Right now, Izuku was currently having dinner with his mom, though the atmosphere was rather tense as he was actually looking at his fist with a blank smile. "Izuku?" A worried voice called out. The speaker was a chubby woman with short green hair with a ponytail on the left and matching eyes. She wore a pink sweatshirt with a blue skirt and socks. "Snap out of it. Izuku?"
"Huh?" Izuku looked up to see his mom looking at him like he had two heads.
"Why are you smiling at that fish? Should I be worried about you, honey?" She asked with a worried tone.
"Oh, sorry. I just spaced out for a minute." Izuku said with a nervous smile before he returned to eating his rice. It was true he spaced out, mostly because he thought of how he used One for All and with Gohan actually flying. The thought still freaked him out, but at the same time it was incredible. To be able to fly with any tech or wings, now that was a feat in it of itself. After dinner, Izuku decided to sit on the couch, thinking about his test. 'Based on my own estimates, I barely passed the written part of the exam. Not that it really matters since I ended up with a big fat zero in the mock battle. Not a single point. And ever since the exam, I haven't been able to get in touch with All Might.' A sigh escaped Izuku's breath as his mother looked back at him, smiling at him.
"I know. Waiting for the results is terrible." She admitted softly.
"I guess." Judging from his tone, it was clear Izuku was worried.
"No matter what, I just want to know that I'm proud of you and I think you're really cool, sweetie." Despite her attempt at encouraging her son, all Inko Midoriya got was a 'sure' from Izuku.
'I didn't tell my mom about All Might or his secret. I want him to continue being the Symbol of Peace for everyone, the Number One Hero. Besides, he trusted me. So… I'll keep my mouth shut.' Putting down his phone, Izuku began to lift his small dumbbell while sighing. 'All Might. Somehow, some way, you saw potential in me. But I failed. Maybe you should've given your power to Gohan, or someone else. But I'll keep trying, I promise.' However, as Izuku kept lifting his weight, the door opened as his mom crawled inside, looking rather shocked.
"A letter, Izuku. They came. Izuku, look! You got a letter!" Reaching into her pocket, Inko showed her son a letter with the UA seal on it. "They're here! Your test results from U.A!" All Izuku did was look at his mother in shock.
'A few minutes later'
Izuku decided it would be best if he opened his letter alone in his room, since he didn't want his mom to cry if they did reject him. However, instead of opening the letter right away, he was looking at it rather blankly. Then, he gritted his teeth and began grabbing both sides of the letter, ripping it open to allow the same device Gohan got to fall on his desk. The device turned on as Izuku's TV showed a certain Hero on screen.
"Booya! I am here as a projection now!" All Might shouted, much to Izuku's shock.
"Wait, All Might?! But this is from U.A, isn't it?" Izuku asked to no one.
"I know it's been a while, but with great power, comes a great amount of paperwork." All Might cleared his throat before bowing. "My apologies, young man. The truth is…..I didn't come to this city just to fight villains. You're looking at the newest U.A faculty member!"
"You're seriously going to be working at U.A?!" Izuku tried not to fanboy over what was going on. A hand appeared on screen, motioning All Might to hurry up.
"Alright alright. But I have to show him something first. Wait, I have to do how many of these things? *sigh* Right! So, moving on. Even though you passed the written exam, you got zero combat points in the practical exam. Sorry." He knew it. Even if he got a perfect score on one part of the test, Izuku still didn't have enough to pass. He only wished he had done better, to at least get one point. Tears threatened to fall down his cheeks as he grabbed his pants tightly.
"Fortunately, there were other factors." Izuku looked up in confusion. What did he mean by that? "But before we get to that, I have another surprise. Here, look!" The tv screen next to All Might turned on and what Izuku saw shocked him greatly.
"Excuse us, but do you have a minute?" Gohan asked while walking in the room with the same girl Izuku saved earlier.
"It's that girl, and Gohan. What are they doing?" Izuku questioned in a confused tone.
"They showed up after the exam to talk about you, young man. If you want to find out, listen closely." The next shot showed Gohan and the girl talking to Present Mic.
"You know Izuku Midoriya, the guy with green hair?" Gohan described in hopes to getting through to Present Mic.
"He also had freckles on his face…... it's hard to describe his face." The girl said while scratching her head. "I was wondering, would it be possible to give some of my points to him from the combat exam?" Izuku gasped in complete shock. Did she say…..she WANTED to give him her points.
"Me too." Gohan stepped up with a serious expression. "He was willing to fight that robot, even if it was worth zero points, just to save her. So please, give him half of my points."
"He saved me, even when he didn't have time to get any points." The girl bowed her head. "Please sir, give him our points!" All Might stopped the video before turning back to face Izuku, who stood up in pure shock.
"You have a Quirk, yes. But it's your actions that inspire others. And that's why I'm here. You see, the practical exam was not graded on combat alone." The video resumed playing.
"Thanks for showing up to the station with your requests." Present Mic said as he patted the girl on the head and placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "But there's no reason to give him your points. The kid's chartin' well on his own." Again, the video paused as All Might stepped over it.
"How could a hero curse reject someone who is committed to saving others, no matter the consequences to himself? After all, that is what makes a hero. And that's what my alma mater is all about. Training those who would risk their lives for the greater good. So we have rescue points!" Izuku gasped in pure shock as he saw his own score…..which was 60 rescue points. "A panel of judges watches, and they award points for heroic acts beyond just fighting villains. Izuku Midoriya, 60 rescue points! Son Gohan, 80 rescue points! You both passed exams." Tears began to well up in Izuku's eyes as he held his heart while All Might extended a hand. "Welcome, Izuku. You have made it. You're now part of the hero academia." He clenched his teeth before speaking.
"Thanks All Might." He wiped his eyes before continuing. "And thanks Gohan."
There you have it. The first chapter of the Saiyaman Plus Ultra reboot! As you can tell, this is basically chapter 2 of the original story, though with a little bit of extra content. I know you might be annoyed by this, but that's how things will be. I will try and update the reboot a little more for this year before I eventually catch up with the old story.
I hope you guys are willing to give this reboot a chance. But even so, I will keep the old story up if you wanna just read it for fun.
