A thirteen year old girl hums a little song kicking her feet against the sand below as she sits on a swing, waiting for her friends. She was a little bummed that her brother couldn't join them since he had a few errands to run but as long as he didn't run into Baka-go and his cronies he'd be fine. She has bright orange hair styled into a braid that went down to the small of her back, bright orange eyes with yellow sclera, pale blue skin, and odd light blue patterns on her arms and legs. She was wearing a dark purple t-shirt with light silver wind patterns surrounding a large red bird in the center blue-jean shorts, and white sneakers with music notes on them.
"YO! Middy-Chan!" Turning the girl gave a huge grin as her friends Setsuna Tokage and Reiku Yanagi walked up.
"Sup Set-Chan, Rei-Chan?" Setsuna had dark green hair that went down to her shoulders, black eyes and pointed teeth. She's wearing a light brown shirt with the picture of a large orange quadrupedal dinosaur with red claws, spines and horns with the words 'Rock On Dadango' under the picture. Dark green pants that hugged her legs, and brown low heeled boots.
Reiko has light gray, almost silver hair that covered her left eye that her friends knew was a deep red like her father's, leaving her light blue right eye visible. She's currently wearing a light blue coat with pictures of robed ghosts holding lanterns, white pants and pink shoes.
"Not much Midna-Chan. How are you doing this day?" Reiko asked her arms in their normal position of being raised to her side with her hands hanging down like some in some old ghost stories.
"Not bad. Bit bummed Zuzu couldn't join us since Ka-San had some errands for him to run," Midna replied with a shrug, "How's your training for U.A. going?"
"Great!" Setsuna said with a grin that showed her sharp teeth, "The Hero Rock Lock recently visited and I impressed him enough that he's going to give me a Recommendation to U.A.!"
"Sweeeet!" Midna grinned, giving her friend a high five. The three had met a few years prior on a Legend of Zelda chat room and quickly hit it off. Midna like how the two enjoyed causing a bit of chaos as much as she did, though Reiko enjoyed the more subtle brand of chaos in person. Online she was one hundred percent a meme lord and reveled in it.
"Mine has also been going well," Reiko said, holding her arms up and shaking her hands a bit as the three started to walk off towards a nearby bakery, "I am now able to hold up as much as my mortal form with Poltergeist. How goes your personal training with your spectral skills?"
"It's going well. Still trying to see if I can make bolts of darkness for offense, but no luck yet. I was able to suck Ka-San's car into my shadow last week. Then I popped it back out as if nothing happened. Not a single scratch on it… this time," Midna grinned.
"Sweet," Setsuna grinned, "How about your 'puppies'? How many of them can you have out at once?"
"I'm up to ten at once," Midna giggled, "If there's one thing I love about my Quirk, it's on demand 'puppies' to cuddle."
"And teleportation?" Reiko inquired, "Have you found a way to move from one spot on this material realm to another?"
Midna's grin turned to a pout, "Not yet. I feel like it's possible but I have no idea how to access it."
Setsuna slapped Midna's back with a big grin, "You'll figure it out. If not now, then when we're at U.A.! It's their job to help us reach our full potential! Hope we can see Izu-Kun when we get to your place. His analytical skills are top notch!"
"Does his goal to become a Limelight Hero remain the same or does he now seek some other kind of Support Hero role?" Reiko inquired.
"Limelight Hero," Midna shrugged, "I know he's got the potential but… even with all the training I convinced him to do I don't know if he'll make it in. Baka-go's bullying really did a number on his self-confidence."
Setsuna scowled, "Let's just hope he doesn't get in. If he do…." The conversation was interrupted by a huge explosion coming out of an alley down the street. Just outside the alley were three heroes. Death Arms, a large muscular man with a quirk that increased his arm's strength, Backdraft, a firefighter themed hero who's quirk let him turn his hands into water spigots and release large amounts of water in powerful streams and even form shapes with the water. Such as the 'do not cross' signs he was making to keep the crowd back while his back up water hose support gear was being used to put out the fires the explosion started. And finally a newer hero called Kamui Woods. Kamui Wood's quirk let him turn parts of his body into wood with the hero most commonly making root like vines to capture Villains.
"What the hell?" Setsuna gasped, "What kind of Villain draws the attention of three Heroes and yet is still free?"
"Sadly the information eludes me," Raiko replied, "Perhaps someone will be willing to tell us?"
As the three grew closer Setsuna asked what was going on and learned that a Slime Villain had taken a teenaged boy hostage, and the Heroes were apparently waiting for someone with 'the right Quirk' to get there as backup.
"What do you mean? They have everything they need. Either Death Arm charges in and jumps through the slimeball saving the kid, or Kamui Woods sents his roots out over the slimeball, makes a net and pulls back saving the hostage!" Midna explained, shocked at the stupidity the Heroes were showing and unbeknownst to her a nearby news reporter had noticed her talking and had their partner point his camera at her so everyone would hear the girl's analysis. A couple kilometers away in a large school building, a small being covered in white fur with some visual qualities of a rat, bear and dog wearing a high quality dress shirt and pants watched the news with a gleam in his beady black eyes. This was Nezu the Principle of U.A. the top hero school in Japan.
Back at the hostage situation, another explosion shot through the air, "And where are those explosions coming from!" Midna said quickly growing tired of the constant explosions as they gave her flashbacks to someone she'd rather not think about.
"The hostages Quirk!" A tall man with a Mutant Quirk giving him features similar to a silverback gorilla said, "Some blond kid who's trying to fight back."
"Baka-go," Midna groaned, "I'm guessing he's just flailing and blasting away while trying to get free?"
"Yup," The gorilla man replied as due to his height he over the crowd and could see the blond flailing his arms as the Sluge Villain's body covered most of the hostage.
"So have Backdraft cover Kamui Woods' arms with water first so they're less likely to be flammable then have Kamui save Baka-go," Setsuna scoffed as she crossed her arms.
"Agreed," Reiko stated, "Waiting only gives the Villain more time to remove the hostage from the mortal coil. They should be putting their experience to work instead of simply using the obvious solutions."
"Wait… a kid just ran in!" The gorilla man stated getting the girl's attention, "Small guy with bushy green hair!"
"IZUKU!" Midna screeched her mind racing, "Setsuna give me a lift. Reiko throw me!" Setsuna crouched down slightly and cupped her hands for Midna who put foot in her friend's hands and jumped with all her might while Setsuna grunted with effort as she threw Midna as high as she could. Once above the crowd, Midna felt Raiko's Quirk grab her, Reiko's gray hair floating up showing her red eye Both of the ghostly girl's eyes practically glowing with focus and power.
Flinging her arms forward Raiko threw Midna as hard as she could, flinging the orange haired girl over the crowd, and right over a blond man who was far too skinny to be healthy, his sunken eyes wide. Midna easily landed on the ground, ducked around Death Arms and charged into the alley just in time to see her brother throwing his backpack at the Slime Villains eyes due to those and his sharp teeth being the only physical parts of his body. Grabbing a trash can lid Midna yelled, "Eat this Slimer!" She jumped, spun and threw the lid like a frisbee. Where the backpack made the Villain flinch back in pain, the trash can lid made him roar and drop Bakugo as one of his eyes went flying.
"Bakugo you alright?" Izuku yelled as he helped the blond to his feet. Said blond coughing up the same brown slime the villain was made of.
"Fuck off Deku! I didn't need your or Shadow's help!" Bakugo roared as he turned and released a huge explosion at the villain, sending muck flying but doing no more than enraging the villain.
"THAT'S IT! FORGET MAKING YOU AN INVISIBILITY SUIT EVERYONE DIES!" The Slime Villain roared his lost eye tethering itself to his main body with some slime and returning to him as he shot several tenderals at the teens.
Izuku's and Bakugo's eyes went even as Bakugo felt rage fill him as not only did Deku save him but a D-Rank Villain was beating him! Eyes focused Midna dove at her brother and his old bully, the ground becoming black as her shadow expanded. Izuku and Bakugo let out yelps of surprise as Midna tackled them, the three falling into the ground. The shadow vanished before the tendrils could slam into the ground leaving surprisingly deep craters. Looking around the Villain gave a roar and turned to the Heros making them stiffen, "Fine. I'll just slaughter you since those brats are gone!"
"WRONG!" A booming voice called as a tall heavily muscular figure with gravity defying blond hair yelled as he quickly made his way to the front of the crowd, "YOU WON'T HURT ANYONE ELSE VILLAIN!"
The Slime Villain practically went rabid at seeing the number one Hero All Might, "ALLL MMMMIIIGGGHHHHTTT!" The Slime Villain charged in a blind rage turning most of his body into tendrils to attack.
Pulling his fist back All Might roared, "DETROIT SMASH!" With a powerful uppercut All Might sent a burst of air pressure skyward the shockwaves of the attack scattering the Slime Villain easily as well as putting out all nearby fires. High in the sky all the clouds vanished as rapid change in wind pressure destroyed them.
"Holy shit…" Death Arms said at the sight of seeing All Might in person for the first time on top of the Number One Hero All clearing the sky in a single punch.
In the alley Midna, Izuku and Bakugo rose out of her shadow. Midna got to her feet and pulled the two boys up. Bakugo opened his mouth to speak but Midna cut him off, "Don't bother Baka-go. I know what you're going to say. Come on Bro. Let's get you to the medics just to be safe," As Midna led the two out of the alley after pulling Izuku's backpack and its contents into her shadow she made a mental note to ask why he had that on a weekend when all he was meant to do was a few errands. Izuku is a teenage boy not that much younger than Midna with fluffy green hair wearing a light green shirt with the hylian shield on the front, tan shorts and bright red sneakers.
Bakugo has spiky blond hair, red eyes that always seemed to gleam with an internal fury. The blond was wearing a black shirt with flames at the bottom and the Number Two Endeavor standing proud on the chest, dark red pants and black sneakers.
As the medics began looking over Izuku and Bakugo, the blond grumbling and cursing under his breath the entire time, Death Arms and Kamui started moving towards Izuku serious looks on their faces, "Let me guess," Midna said as she stepped before the two Heroes, "You're going to 'reprimand' my brother and I for doing something that the two of you refused to do?" Midna gained a savage grin as her eyes gleamed making the two pause. Between them Kamui Woods was the only one to go to U.A. and the gleam in the girl's eyes was reminding him of Principle Nezu… something that was making him regret trying to reprimand the green haired kid.
"The two of you were 'waiting' for a Hero with the right Quirk to turn up… when the Villain's hostage was in the middle of drowning," Midna spat having seen Bakugo cough up slime and making the two Heroes flinch, "I'll do you two a favor and point out three… no four ways that the two of you and Backdraft could have saved him," Modna was so focused on her rant she didn't notice a single video camera pointed at her, despite All Might's presence that cameraman had decided to put Midna's rant on air. Something that made Principle Nezu very happy.
"As I said earlier Death Arms could have tried to charge through the slime villain or Kamui Woods throwing out his arms making a net with his root vines then reeled the net back pulling Bakugo out," Here the two Heroes looked at each other ashamed for not realizing that, "That's the first two. Now for combos using only the three Heroes present," The gleam in Midna's eyes shined making Kamui shudder. This girl was definitely reminding him of Nezu now and he sent a silent prayer to any divine being listening that the two would never meet. That damn chimera didn't need a mini him!
"Combo one: If you were worried about the flames from Bakugo's explosions catching Kamui's roots aflame, you could have had Backdraft hose them down. Wet wood isn't very flammable after all," Kamui face palmed. He is a U.A. alumnus! How the HELL did he not think about combination attacks, "Combo two: Kamui wraps up Death Arms in his roots, and launches him towards the villain like a living trebuchet. This way even if Death Arms couldn't pick up the speed to go through the villain himself this definitely would have worked. Between the three of you, Backdraft was the only one doing his damn job!"
As Midna spoke Setsuna and Raiko pushed their way closer and overhead Midna tearing into the two Heroes. They looked at each other and Setsuna gave a feral grin. Midna didn't go on these rants often but when she did… oh boy. The two remember the first time they saw a Midna Rant and that poor sod had stumbled off to rethink his life completely forgetting his original plan of bullying kids, "Didn't think I'd see Middy-Chan ripping strips of Heroes like this before U.A."
"The very fact that these two are receiving this lecture proves they have much to learn despite their status as a Pro," Reiko stated her hair having fallen back into place and a small smile on her face.
In U.A. Prinsible Nezu was cackling like a maniac as he watched Young Midna's lecture on the TV, his tea spilling out of the cup, "Oh my, this girl is amazing! Leaping in out of nowhere, masterfully distracting the enemy in order to save the hostage in a way that had little to no risk of the hostage being injured and now pointing out the obvious flaws in the Hero's plans! Yes, yes my future student! Show them their place!" Nezu's cackling laughter filled the halls of U.A. as he turned on the intercoms letting the entire school hear his borderline crazed joy.
"I don't know what caused this…" Shota Aizawa better known as the Underground Hero Eraserhead muttered from inside his yellow sleeping bag which was lying on a couch in the teachers lounge since he'd expelled his entire class for having no potential, "But my instincts are screaming that it'll wind up being my problem next year…"
After Izuku was checked by the medics, including to see if any slime had found its way into his lungs once they learned he had been attacked by the Slime Villain only an hour before, the medics were pleased to find none. They released Izuku while Bakugo had to go to the hospital due to some slime remaining in his lungs. Izuku, Midna, Setsuna and Reiko decided to just head to the Midoriya household so Izuku could rest away from prying eyes. They walked in silence until they were in a suburban neighborhood not too far from the Midoriya house.
"Not gonna lie Izu-Kun," Setsuna said as she gently put a hand on his shoulder, "You were awesome back there."
"I agree. You were exceptional out there Izuku-kun," Reiko said, giving Izuku a small smile and waving her hands slightly, "I know that one day you will become an amazing hero. Whether you're a Limelight Hero or a Detective Hero like Sir Nighteye."
"Th-thanks Tokage-Chan, Yanagi-Chan," Izuku said with an embarrassed blush.
"It's Setsuna-Chan or just Set-Chan for my friends Izu-Kun, and you definitely count as one as I've told you before," Setsuna said with a kind smile. Normally she'd tease her fellow verdette but after what he went through he deserved a break.
"And it's Reiko-Chan for me, my brave green haired friend," Reiko replied.
Before Izuku could respond, the four heard, "I AM HERE!" As All Might slid to a halt behind them as he flexed his large muscles, "YOUNG MIDORIYA I… oh…" Before their eyes All Might literally deflated revealing the skinny man Midna had jumped over earlier, "I… wasn't expecting you to have company…"
Midna examined the man. He was incredibly skinny, practically skin and bone. Golden blond hair with two long strands going down the sides of his head, eyes sunken so deep into his skull all you could see was pitch black with two blue beads that almost shined like stars. Full of intelligence and burning desire to help people. He was wearing a baggy white shirt, dark green pants held up by a belt with a gleaming steel buckle shaped like a wolf's head and brown combat boots.
Midna scratched her chin in thought. All Might had just appeared then deflated, and glancing at Izuku showed he wasn't surprised at the transformation. Meaning this was the real All Might, and Izuku had met him before. Perhaps All Might had saved him during the first Slime Villain attack? She noticed her friends had also glanced at Izuku as they worked through the situation. Setsuna was the first one to speak, "Let's see… Since Izu-Kun isn't freaking out chances are good you're the real All Might. So your transformation is most likely related to your mysterious Quirk…"
"However since you seemed to physically deflate," Raiko continued, "It is possible you are 'puffing up your chest' as it were…" Reiko then tilted her head slightly as All Might began to nervously sweat, "A Quirk that strengthens the physical form by absorbing oxygen?"
"Unlikely," Midna said as All Might and Izuku just looked shocked at how easily the three girls had accepted the situation and tried to work though how All Might's Quirk worked, "Chances are he wouldn't be able to talk if that's the case. He'd basically be holding his breath but we all know that All Might doesn't shut up when on the job," She sent a teasing grin at the Hero to show she meant no harm, "It's more likely he was injured at some point, but we shouldn't be talking here. Come on. We're almost home where you can explain everything."
"Uhhh…." All Might said nervously, "Maybe that's not…"
"Hey if you want to talk to my brother you will tell me and Ka-San everything," Midna said, sending a glare at the man, "He's been through enough shit with people walking all over him I won't let a Pro do it too!"
"And you might as well tell us too," Setsuna said with a smirk, "We do know about this form so might as well go all the way."
"... I went years without anyone learning this and now five people learn it in one day," All Might groaned, "Alright young ones. Lead the way."
When they arrived at Midna and Izuku's house the door burst open before the siblings were half way up the stairs the door burst open and two people walked out. The first was a tall woman with long green hair tied up in a bun and ponytail, light green eyes that were slightly red and swollen from crying, wearing a pink shirt, ocean blue skirt under a tan apron and forest green slippers. Behind her was a tall man wearing a white shirt, dark green tie, tan detective hat and jacket, white gloves, black pants and black shoes.
"My babies! Are you two alright? No injuries?" The woman asked as she looked over Izuku and Midna, while All Might looked stunned at how the woman reminded him of his mentor and his friend from the police force.
"Naomasa? What are you doing here?" All Might asked.
Naomasa gave a small grin, "I was visiting my sister-in-law and when the attack appeared on the news I figured I'd stick around a little longer to see how my niece and nephew are. Togake-Chan, Yanagi-Chan good to see you two again."
Setsuna and Reiko gave small bows before Setsuna gave a cocky grin, "Good to see you two Tsukauchi-San, Inko-San" All Might's mind was whirling. His best friend was the uncle of Young Midoriya? Well at least this might make telling the story a little easier.
As Inko continued to look over her kids, Midna smiled, "We're fine. I made sure to have the on site medics look over Izuku, and the slimeball never even touched me. Let's head inside, this big lug," Here she pointed her thumb over her shoulder at All Might, "Has something he wants to talk to Bro about. I figured if he has something he has to say to bro, he should tell the rest of us. Having Uncle Naomasa here helps due to his Quirk."
Naomasa gave All Might a quizzical look as the group moved inside, each finding a seat in the living room, "Oh and just so ya know Ka-san… this is All Might's civilian look," Midna said, deciding to get that bit of info out there first, "My best guess is he was injured in a fight that was kept on the down low at some point."
"I… what?" Inko asked as she looked at Naomasa wondering if Midna was pulling a small prank.
"It's true Ink," Naomasa said with a small smile, "I've known him for a few years and Midna is one hundred percent correct. Though I have to ask how you came to that concussion."
"It was simply logical," Midna shrugged, "We saw him deflate from the All Might everyone knows to this human stick figure. Odds are he's able to take his old form thanks to his Quirk. Plus there are always going to be fights between Heroes and Villains kept from the public for security reasons."
All Might burst out laughing before coughing up blood. Pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the blood away he said, "Young lady that is correct, and I must say I'm impressed you were able to piece that much together after knowing me for less than an hour. With a sharp mind like that I'm sure you'll go far in whatever field you desire!"
"Hey Bro's just as smart as me if not smarter!" Midna smirked, "And Setsuna and Reiko aren't that far off either. All four of us are aiming for U.A. and nothing's going to get in our way!"
"Ah… yes," All Might said, "I believe what I have to offer might help with that," Naomasa and Inko looked at each other wondering what All Might was saying, "However before I get to that, my name is Toshinori Yagi please call me Yagi-San in this form or when talking about me. It'll help keep the fact I'm All Might a secret."
"I don't see a problem with that," Setsuna shrugged with Reiko nodding.
"Now… What kind of offer do you have for my son Yagi-San?" Inko asked.
Yagi then gave an All Might worthy grin as he said, "Pardon me for using his first name like this but I would like Young Izuku to become my successor! To inherit my Quirk and become the next Symbol of Peace!"
Author's Notes:
If you didn't read the Author's Notes of Magical Heroine: Hex, I'm writing both stories due to not only saving my vote for last brining the two to ten votes each, but also because I started writing both when I didn't know which one would win, and was having fun with it so... both stories are what you get!
If you get the reference of Midna's shirt… you get a cookie [sadly I have no cookies to give… or eat myself :(
… writing for Reiko is kinda fun ngl. Also I'm going to try to use the correct honorifics more often. No promises on if I can keep it up though.
No, I'm not going to write Midna making someone rethink their life. Use your imagination. :)
Reason why Inko is still tall/skinny is because Midna was there to help keep Izuku out of trouble, though moving the two to HOmeschooling when they were six also helps. As for why Naomasa is related to Hiashi… well we know jack all about Izuku's family outside of Inko so… why not have him be Hiashi's brother?
