Darkest Hero
To you I say hello and welcome back to another chapter of darkest hero. Hopefully this thing will reach a natural conclusion and not just be a dead end fic like I have a problem with doing.
As per the norm the Q and A is here!
Q: 1A never seems to catch a break can they?
A: probably not in this, if you want a more relaxed version either look up the Quirkless AU stories or the combination of "Izuku Midoriya is a little shit" and "1A group chat" tags on Ao3 and Wattpad.
Q: Gura gonna gura?
A: a!
Q: Can't believe Eri is evil! How is it possible?!
A: tag to add: Eri is a little shit. Also trauma can really mess people up and she was subjected to literally being murdered multiple times by overhaul.
Chapter 51: sports festival part 2
The first year classes of UA had been training beyond even the normal for their year, more so those either in the hero classes or trying to get into the hero classes from a different one. For the entire week straight the five gyms on campus had been booked solid from 5am until 6pm when they closed by students from all years and classes in an attempt to improve themselves even the slightest amount.
Unlike the general student body in the school, those who had become involved with supernatural abilities or were supernatural themselves were taken aside the day before the festival by Nezu himself. Outside those who were from Hell in some form or another, Gura, Watson, a green haired girl from 1B with sharp teeth and Azazel had been gathered in the temporary closed Gym Delta which was devided in half between a large matted area made of foam and a swimming pool.
Nezu merely grinned to himself as five minutes after the students arrived, several pro heroes also filtered into the room including the hero Native, Ingenium, Mt Lady and the final one to enter the room, Miruko who immediately glared at Nezu.
"Ah, now that we're all here I'll cut things short, you're all involved in the supernatural in one way or another and frankly trust the HSC about as far as I can toss My Lady in her giant form." Nezu chuckled slightly with his paws folded behind his back.
"Are you calling me fat!?" Mt Lady growled in anger at the rodent.
"Who me? Could be. si ti." Nezu cackled causing said heroine to growl in annoyance.
"Get on with it rat." Miruko scoffed.
"Right, basically the HSC has been majorly overstepping their bounds." Nezu began. "And to avoid them trying to blackmail my students and you lot I plan on revealing the supernatural within these next few weeks meaning use of non quirk abilities is acceptable for the festival."
"Alright but what does this have to do with us?" Native asked with a raised hand.
"I didn't even teach you josh-san no need to raise your hand." Nezu chuckled. "As for what it has to do with you? Everything! HAHAHAHA!"
"Please may we continue?" Azazel asked with a wobbly smile.
"Ah yes, name, quirk, species and powers overview. Yes Miruko everyone has been vetted so no killing or I'm gonna make what I did to time baby look like a mild gust of wind. Kapeesh?" Nezu explained before leveling a flat stare at the rabbit hero.
"Whatever." Miruko scoffed with a roll of her eyes as she folded her arms and cocked her hips to the left.
"Eenie mienee miney Azazel." Nezu grinned smugly.
"R-right!" The woman squeaked slightly as she readjusted her glasses. "I'm Azazel, no last name or Quirk, I'm an Angel from heaven and technically Nezu's aunt."
"That she is." Nezu grinned.
"Hold up, as in like Catholic angels?" Watson asked in confusion. "Also is this some joke? The supernatural isn't real."
"Nope. I'm a demigod. Gura, future queen of the seas!" The short blue and white haired shark girl grinned proudly. "You're here since you're the only one that can keep up with me!"
"That makes too much sense." Watson sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Anyway I'm Gura, quirk is A! Basically I can echo single letters like super dooper mega loudly." The energetic girl practically vibrated on the spot with excitement. "I am a demigod kid of a shark god and I get this super swishy tail and sharp teeth and I breath under water and then there is Glub!"
"Glub?" Native asked in confusion.
"Glub!" Gura chirped as a small shark floating in a sphere of water appeared before her. The small grey fish continued swimming in laps within its confines in a repetitive motion as it surveyed the room. "He's like emotional support and mascot rolled into one, he also isn't allowed out of the bubble unless it's time to kill things."
"I see." Watson have a strained smile as her left eye twitched. "And who gave you them?"
"Uh... I don't know." Gura blinked in confusion. "They've been with me a while now."
"Me next!" The girl from 1B called excitedly. "Name's Setsuna Tokage, quirk is lizard tail splitter, I basically can turn myself into floating chunks and heal any that go missing. I'm one of those lizard people who rule the world!"
"Nice try, killed them off long ago." Nezu chuckled. "Now tell the truth."
"Ugh fine." Setsuna sighed glumly, her enthusiasm vanished. "I worked a summer job before school this year in a place called Mako Bubble Tea cafe across from a church, I've had more run ins with Tanuki and ghosts than I'd like thanks."
"Having volunteered at that church for a few years, yes the Tanuki are a problem there. I had to carry around a bat just to stop them desecrating the tomb stones." Ibara spoke up softly as she nodded in agreement.
"Perfect time for you to introduce yourself." Nezu cackled making the vine haired girl blush in embarrassment.
"I'm Ibara." The vine haired girl stated with a soft smile. "I was born human and possess the quirk Vines which as you see makes my hair into vines that I can control."
"And species young miss." Nezu reminded the former nun.
"I'm a demon." Ibara stated earning an "ooo" from Gura while Watson tensed and Miruko snarled while clenching her fists. "I still have control of my hair and my teeth are now sharper."
"There better be a good fucking explanation rat." Miruko growled in anger.
"Oh hush, she's a cannibal so humans are safe from her." Nezu waved it off.
"Ew." Watson gagged while looking slightly green.
"Please be respectful, I understand such a concept is disturbing for others but it's how I am now." Ibara stated with a slight bow of her head.
"As long as it's eating demons and not humans we have no problems on that front." Miruko scoffed.
"Me next!" Charlie chirped with a large grin. "I'm Charlie Magne, no quirk and I'm Lucifer's daughter, I have shape shifting and limited pyrokinesis, I actually run a hotel for redeeming sinners down in hell."
"The anti Christ? Really?" Mt lady deadpanned at the girl.
"No, that is Danny DeVito. He runs a comedy club in hell." Vaggie chimed in. "Anyway, soy Vaggie, I was quirkless when I died, limited shape shifting and I have this spear." She added as her standard red spear materialised before her.
"Wait a second." Azazel frowned at the weapon. "I'm pretty sure that was the spear I lost a few centuries ago, meh you can keep it anyway, I prefer peaceful solutions rather than violence."
"I'll go next then I guess." Native spoke up. "My name is Martin Josh my quirk is called water filter, I'm able to drink any water source regardless of how polluted or stagnant it is with no real repercussions from it outside of it tasting bad, my father was a shaman who moved from Canada to Japan while my mother is just a normal human. I'm able to channel aspects of the animals sacred to my father's tribe from the strength of a bear to the eyes of a eagle."
"My name is Momo Yaoyorozu, my quirk is creation and as long as I know the atomic composition and it's non living I can make almost anything if I have the lipids." The scarred girl explained. "I did get cursed after accidentally opening a lament configuration and turned into a cenobite."
"Fuck kid that's nasty." Miruko winced.
"Language." Ingenium chidded the rabbit hero.
"Piss off tin Can." Miruko scoffed.
"It's like watching Bakugo and Iida-san." Charlie uttered with wide eyes.
"Me next I guess. My name is Watson, my quirk is called Zoomer, it's a time based quirk that allows me to speed up or slow down time around me giving the appearance of a speed quirk." Watson intoned as she adjusted her monocle. "I am human before anybody asks."
"I-I'll go next." Izuku stuttered nervously. "I'm Izuku Midoriya, I died quirkless almost a year before school began, turns out my mum wasn't human and I inherited being a cenobite from her, after I died my father's quirk started to manifest in pyrokinesis of Greek fire."
"Two cenobites? Nezu what the FUCK?!" Miruko spat at the rodent.
"More than two, his mother has free access between realms and he has a adopted sister who is currently staying in the dorms, poor girl didn't have a easy life before she was rescued." Nezu sighed as he shook his head.
"Me next." Mt lady grinned as she flipped her hair with her left hand and cocked her hips. Native merely rolled his eyes in exasperation. "My name is Yu Takeyama, my quirk is gigantification, I'm human but my family isn't, they couldn't be here today due to schedule conflicts."
"Her adoptive father is a gnome." Nezu cackled. "Infact it may be my fault he isn't here today since I hired him to keep an eye on someone."
"Ingenium, my real name is Iida Tensei." The armored hero spoke up. "I'm aware some of you are in the same class as my little brother, apologies if he is a bit uptight."
"No problem but in still putting coffee in his orange juice." Vaggie replied lazily.
"Ingenium has no formal ties to the supernatural but was brought in due to an encounter he had the other day with a local yokai." Nezu explained while Tensei gave a shudder at the mention of the encounter. "Needless to say the public toilet has been demolished to avoid another incident."
"Let me guess the toilet paper one?" Mt lady asked with a raised eyebrow. When Tensei nodded she merely patted him on the shoulder. "Atleast it wasn't a ghoulie."
"Me next! Mina Ashido I'm a Cambion from Mum's side. My quirk is acid and as long as the PH is 7 or less I can make it but pH of 2 and less starts to hurt after a while. supernatural abilities include my wings and tail basically." Mina shrugged lazily. "Oh and I can lick my elbow!"
"What?" Miruko asked after noticing the look she was getting from Nezu. "Fine... Name's Miruko and I'm half rabbit, call me a bunny and I'll smash your face in!"
"Ahem." Nezu smirked.
"Whatever. My attachment to the supernatural is my parents John and Daisy Blaskovich." Miruko explained bluntly.
"THE SLAYER AND THE BEAST OF ARMAGEDDON?!" Azazel shrieked as she dove behind Mt Lady for cover.
"Really?" Charlie asked. "Hey uh could you please pass on some paperwork? I'd like to try and help with hell's overpopulation through redemption but nobody wants to deliver mail to your family."
"No. Bad Charles, no inviting the mass murderer of demons to the hotel." Vaggie scolded her girlfriend.
"But think of the progress we could make!" Charlie whined.
"Yeah the folks are more likely to kill you than listen and my uncle is more likely to try and seduce your parents." Miruko shrugged.
"So what was the purpose asides a meet and greet...and scaring half of those present?" Izuku asked timidly.
"Simply put I want you all to use non quirk abilities where possible both tomorrow and the following weeks." Nezu explained. "The more open we are about it the more likely it is the HSC is unable to bribe or blackmail people about it. I understand some of you can't use your abilities or lack them entirely but try to keep an eye out for the supernatural and help if needed."
"Uh was that it? If so I have to go back on patrol." Miruko scoffed.
"You're free to go just take one of the packages Azazel-san has." Nezu shrugged it off as Azazel presented a stack of papers. "Otherwise continue on your usual routes and schedules."
[The next morning]
The stadium on the eastern edge of UA's property was packed. Excited pro heroes and family members lined the stadium seats eager to see the show that was to come. All of them wanting to see what the students could do and the heroes and support of the future.
Up in the overseer box Aizawa sighed glumly as he was dragged in by Hizashi who as per usual has chugged a litre of espresso before breakfast and was excited for the festival.
"Why did I get dragged into this?" Aizawa sighed.
"You'd rather spend time with me than your girlfriend. For shame Shota." Hizashi chuckled to himself as he lounged back in the swivel seat by the announcer microphones and monitors.
"She's not my girlfriend." Aizawa growled from the confines of his sleeping bag.
"Sure she's not." Hizashi winked with a smirk, not believing the man at all.
Down bellow the bickering pair of heroes in the family sections of the stands we find Inko fusing over Eri and Toga, Mr. Squishy having been made to stay in the dorms as to not cause worry for the other parents in the stands.
"Hold still dear, it'll stop you turning red." Inko tutted as she tried to apply sunscreen to Toga. The poor vampiric cenobites was trying and failing to avoid having the sunscreen smeared across her skin while Eri who had already been covered in sunscreen was bouncing with excitement as she held a half eaten bag of apple slices in her hands.
"I don't care!" Toga snapped as she tried to turn her face away. "It stinks like soap!"
"Here Kero." A woman spoke up from next to them. Inko blinked in confusion at the appearance of a frog like woman in a formal suit who had sat down next to them and now pulled out a tube of sunscreen from her bag. "My own little ones can't stand the smell either."
"Thankyou, I'm Inko Midoriya." Inko smiled as she accepted the tube and continued to try applying it to Toga.
"Beru Asui." The woman croaked. "My daughter Tsuyu is in 1A."
"Ah my son Izuku's classmate then." Inko chuckled as she finally managed to get Toga into a headlock to apply the sunscreen. "This is my adopted daughter Eri and my future daughter in law Toga."
"Quit it!" Toga growled as she tried to jerk away from the sunscreen.
"Shush Toga you'll burn if you don't which means no stabbing." Inko informed the girl.
"I'll be good!" Toga squeaked.
"Her quirk operates around blood letting and she goes a bit stir crazy if she doesn't." Inko shrugged apologetically at Beru.
"It's understandable kero. I work as a lawyer and focus mostly on quirk discrimination cases." Beru replied as she pulled a business card from her purse and handed it to Inko. "If someone ever tries messing with her based on her quirk I'll help sort it Kero."
"Thankyou." Inko smiled politely.
"Hey inks! There you are!" A firmiliar voice called as a blonde haired individual sat on the chair behind them. "You excited to see our kids kick ass?!"
"Yes Mit-chan I am, you know Izuku's dreamed of being a hero since he was a kid." Inko smiled.
"Oniichan will kick butts!" Eri declared with a serious expression and a nod before she took another apple slices from her bag to eat. "Then we can get more apples to celebrate!"
"Better than my brat at any rate." Mitsuki snorted a laugh before turning her attention to Beru. "Mistuki Bakugo, nice ta meet ya green."
"Beru Asui." The frog quirked woman responded.
"Man Masura is annoyed he had to miss the sports festival, some big shot tore their suit and threatened to terminate his contract if he didn't fix it." Mistuki huffed as she folded her arms and rested them on the back of Inko's chair. "So I've got it recording at home using that smart TV thing we got last month."
[In the waiting area]
The gathered students were arranged into their classes from 1A to 1H with the hero classes being up from and business classes being in the rear. A nervous energy prevailed throughout the students, wondering what exactly their first event would be and if their quirks or abilities were suited for it.
With class 1A Midoriya, Charlie, Momo and Mina were strategizing and trying to find a way for all of them to make it through to the next event when Todoroki walked over.
"Midoriya." He began, gaining their attention. "Objectively speaking I am stronger than you as ice beats fire. I will defeat you."
"H-hey no need to start a war." Izuku squeaked nervously as he waved his hands Infront of himself.
"SHUT IT SHITTY HAIR! I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS!" Bakugo snarled.
"FUCK OFF KAMAKAZI MUTT!" Ochako snapped at the blonde.
"7 out of 10, good originality." Jirou smirked softly to her girlfriend.
Any further bickering was interrupted by the loud voice of Present(ation) Mic(hael) booming over the speakers.
"HELOOOOOOOOOO LISTENERS AND WELCOME TO THE UA FIRST YEARS SPORTS FESTIVAL! I'M YOUR HOST PRESENT MIC AND WITH ME IS MY CO-HOST ERASERHEAD!" Present Mic screamed.
"Why must you scream you damned cockatoo?" Aizawa could be heard growling in anger.
"Aw you know you love me!" Present Mic laughed. "Now let's give a big hand to the students who already survived a villain attack, the brave and the bold, class 1A!"
Hearing the que the class made their way out onto the field to much fanfare from the crowds, it was enough that it made even Charlie falter slightly.
"Up next though they've yet to face real danger give it up for the class with spunk, 1B!" Present Mic boomed as 1B made their way out onto the field, the local copy quirk barer seemed to be lapping up the attention like it was water for a man lost in a desert.
"Up next is the general studies classes 1c, 1d and 1e, they may not of passed the illogical entrance exams but they're more than willing to put in the effort to becoming heroes themselves" aizawa droned on in a bored tone.
"Up next you never know what they're gonna make next be it a automatic belt or a cotton candy landmine it's support class 1F!" Present Mic called loudly as the local inventors made their way out onto the field, many of them clad in gadgets of their own design. "Following then up it's classes 1G and 1H, they're the backbone of any hero agency and as always their folios are available for review by the hero agencies wanting to take them on for internships!"
"Get on with it wasting more time is illogical." Aizawa yawned.
"Now our main judge, the 18 plus hero, MIDNIGHT!" present Mic screamed.
"Hello darlings! Who's ready to see such invigorating youthfulness?!" The heroine called as she cracked her whip.
"And now the student pledge on request of the HSC, KATSUKI BAKAGO!" Present Mic called.
"ITS BAKUGO!" Said blonde screamed in irritation as he stormed over to the microphone stand by the judge stage. Tapping the microphone twice to make sure it was on, he started his admittedly short speech. "I pledge... That you extras are gonna loose! Especially Deku and shitty face!"
"Shitty Pomeranian." Ochako growled softly as she glared at the blonde.
"That's Bakugo alright." Izuku sighed.
Up in the stands Inko had to restrain Mitsuki from jumping over the barriers to tackle her son and beat some sense into the idiot. In the teacher's booth however Present Mic sighed sadly as he handed Aizawa ¥5000 and grumbled to himself about asshole students, thankfully with the microphone turned off.
"Uh wow ... that was a bit of a turn off." Midnight uttered in bewilderment.
"Wait, something that DIDN'T turn her on?" Mina asked in shock.
"Even she has to have standards I guess." Sero shrugged as Bakugo rejoined the group.
"Anyway," midnight cleared her throat as a massive game show style spinning wheel was lifted up on a underground platform behind her. "Let's spin the wheel for the first event!"
The students tensed as the wheel spun, the high pitch clicking of the wheel which started fast now started to slow to a crawl before it ended, the arrow having decided the event.
Midnight smirked to herself as she checked the wheel. "And the first event of the sports festival is..."
End.
Thoughts?
Ideas?
What do you want for the first event?
Annotation: Native in the show has no known true name so I just used the name of his English voice actor with the first and last name swapped.
