Reviews:

TwinstarDragon: thanks for the clarification

TwinstarDragon: might just do that, thanks for the idea. Also, you don't need to write multiple reviews within 20 minutes of each other. If it's your first time reading the chapter, you can put them together. I'm glad that you're enjoying my story, so far

Previously

Izuku's feet began to move without his consent

Now

What - why are my feet moving?! Why am i running? Izuku wondered. Then, he remembered, a memory that he'd almost forgotten amidst all the rage and misery.

Memory start

"Mama, when i get MY quirk, i wanna be a hero, just like all might!" a four year old izuku said.

Memory end

That's right, i wanna be a hero izuku thought.

"kid , come back! You'll get killed!" the voice of death arms cried out.

Izuku ignored him and his limbs turned tiger.

"YOU AGAIN?!" the sludge snarled. The sludge sent a tentacle swipe at izuku.

Izuku dodged the attack with a jump.

The sludge snarled more, but sent tentacle spikes at izuku.

Izuku slashed at the spikes with his claws.

Izuku got close to the head, and slashed at the giant misshapen eyes, to which the villain SHRIEKED in pain. Izuku then YANKED katsuki out of the sludge.

"Death arms, catch!" izuku yelled, before LITERALLY throwing katsuki at the hero.

Izuku was then stabbed in the back.

The pros felt a deep sadness, but then they hear a voice.

"*cough* is that all you got, stabbing people in the back like a damn coward?"

Everyone present, including an almost skeletal hero, were surprised when the body (?) began to move.

Izuku got the spike out of him, his injury healed instantly, and said "i've had ENOUGH of YOU!" then literally splattered the villain all over a few feet.

The pros then approached izuku, and began to lecture him on carelessness. Katsuki, on the other hand, was being praised for his "bravery". Finally, izuku snapped.

"WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP, YOU NEXT TO USELESS SO-CALLED HEROS?!" death arms and kamui woods were stunned into silence. "YOU WANNA KNOW WHY I RAN OUT THERE?! I DON'T KNOW WHY! MY FEET MOVED ON THEIR OWN!" the two heroes were silent. However, a certain near-skeletal hero looked at izuku with surprise. "AND ANOTHER THING," izuku continued. "YOU DON'T GET TO LECTURE ME ABOUT CARELESSNESS, WHEN I DID YOUR FUCKING JOBS FOR YOU! Death arms and kamui woods felt ashamed that they were outdone by a civilian. "NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, YOUR MESS HAD INTERRUPTED MY TIME FOR MY MUSIC TO HONOR THE FEW FRIENDS I'VE EVER HAD!"

And so, after THOROUGHLY giving those two useless pros a lashing that they'll likely never forget, izuku left, to go back to the park.

"DEKU!" katsuki yelled, as he put his hand on izuku's shoulder.

Izuku simply grabbed the hand, and performed a PERFECT judo flip, knocking katsuki out in the process. He simply walked away after that.

"I AM HERE!" all might said as he suddenly appeared.

"AGH!" izuku said, before REACTING, by punching all might in the stomach with a rabbit punch.

"OOF" all might got out. "THAT WAS A BIT MUCH, YOUNG MAN," all might said.

"Sorry, all might, but you shouldn't sneak up on people like that. If you do, then there's a good chance that you'll get hit by your victim out of reflex," izuku said.

"True, i apologize for that. But, i have a question for you, young man: why did you go save that boy that was captured by the sludge villain?" all might asked.

"I don't know why. My feet moved on their own, to be honest."

All might smiled at that. "Young man, throughout history, there have alway been fighters that fight for good. There is ONE THING that most of them do, that shows that they will be a great hero: their feet move, as if they had a mind of their own" all might said. "And that, young man, is what happened to you."

Izuku began to cry, as all might said one thing: "young man, you too, can be a hero"

"Thank you, all might," izuku smiled a bit in sadness. "If only my friends were here to hear that."

"Where are these friends of yours?" all might asked.

"Follow me, all might," izuku said. Then he smirked. "Try to keep up, old man".

"Huh?" was as far as all might got, before izuku's legs turned tiger, after which izuku RAN. "ah, i get it now" all might then followed izuku.

A few minutes later

Izuku led all might to the graves of his three friends in the forest just outside the city. "Not bad, old man. You managed to keep up," izuku said.

"What is this?" all might asked, though he had a sneaking suspicion.

"These, almight, are the graves of the only ones that EVER accepted me. These, all might, are the graves of my only friends," izuku said sadly. "I was actually in the park, where my third friend was murdered, playing the song that all four of us loved to hear, when the explosions started to go off," izuku said.

"Oh," all might said.

Izuku went to the first grave, "my first friend, lykos. I met her when i was six(forgot to put izuku's age in the first part of the prologue. whoops). She was a direwolf, one of the biggest you'd ever seen. She was caught in a trap. I managed to calm her down enough to help her get out of the trap, AND to heal her. Luckily, i recognized ALL of the plants in the area, so i gathered all the healing herbs i could reach, and began to heal her. After that, she accepted me, and she became my first friend." izuku smiled at the memory. "I would sneak out of my home as often as i could, just so we could see each other in this very spot." izuku's smile, then, turned into a frown of deep sadness. "However, one day, while i was playing our favorite song, a poacher decided to try and capture my friend. As he was preparing to use his quirk on us, i ran forward, slammed my hard head into his crotch and, reacting on instinct, grabbedhis knife, and stabbed him in the lung. I went back to my friend, to make sure she was alright. Suddenly, lykos collapsed in pain. She died in my arms. So, with my heart and mind full of grief and rage, i went over to the poacher. The poacher CHUCKLING, said that i was acting as though he had killed my friend. I told him that he DID kill my friend. I told the poacher 'this is for my friend that you just murdered in cold blood, you monster!', then i stabbed him in the heart. I then went back to my friend, hugged her, then cried my heart out. I then told lykos that i'd play the song she loved, and i did."

"Oh," all might said.

Izuku then went to the second grave. "This is yuki. She was a snow fox I met in an alley, after katsuki, the boy i saved, decided to treat me to an EXTRA SPECIAL beating for my birthday that left me near dead. Yuki appeared when i was near dead, and she healed me with a quirk that she had," izuku said.

"She had a quirk?" all might was amazed at that.

Izuku smiled fondly. "Yes, she did. After i was able to move, yuki simply sat in my lap, as if telling me to pet her. So, i pet her for a few minutes." izuku chuckled. After i finished petting her, i put her on the ground, told her i was going home, and i left." izuku then grinned. After i went into my home, my mom pointed to something behind me, and asked 'who's that, izuku?' so, i turned around, saw nothing. But, when i looked to the ground, yuki was there. She had followed me home, without me knowing," he said.

All might chuckled at that.

"When i asked her what she was doing, following me home like she did. That's when she did something that i wasn't expecting," izuku said, then chuckled. "She leapt into my arms and started to lick my face."

All might chuckled again.

Izuku's amused face, then turned depressed. "Not even a fucking WEEK had passed, until she was MURDERED by the very boy that i had saved, earlier today. He said that i don't DESERVE to be happy, unless HE ALLOWED IT," izuku snarled. "He put yuki to LITERAL NEAR DEATH! He started to boast about she deserved that. But, just after he started to speak, i grabbed his head, and SLAMMED his face onto the asphalt." izuku smiled sadly. I gently picked her up, she used what little strength she had left, and heald me. I told her that she should've healed herself. I put her near my face, she licked my nose to tell me she loved me, then her eyes closed. I had a bad feeling in my heart. So, i put my hand in front of her nose, to feel if she was breathing. She wasn't. I BEGGED her not to leave me. But thanks to that asshole, i had lost another friend."

All might was crying, now.

Izuku went and touched the final grave. "This is coco. After the death of yuki, i stayed in my room for a week, playing the song that my friends and i all loved. i only came out of my room for the bathroom or to get something small to eat or drink. I occasionally took breaks, but those breaks only led to crying. I did manage to sleep, occasionally, but when i did, my dreams were all about my friends being murdered."

All might looked as if his heart were about to break

"After a while, my mom took me to a surprise. But, she had to LITERALLY drag me out of my room, and she took my ocarina from me, so i don't regress. We got to where she was taking me. She knocked on the door, a man opened the door. There was a crying sound coming from inside the house. Mom and i went inside. The man told us to wait, left, and came back with the source of the crying. The man gave the source to me. As soon as the object was in my hands, it stopped crying. So, i finally got a look at it: it was a green and red baby bunny. My mom told that this was her way of cheering me up, by getting me another friend."

All might smiled.

"I managed to take care of coco for eight years. But then, one day, i had taken coco to her favorite park. Katsuki attacked me from out of nowhere. Coco did what she could to defend me. Katsuki threw her into a tree, and was about to use his quirk on her, but i got in between katsuki and coco, leaving him to blast my back. I slammed a fist into his nose, went to coco and gently picked her up. She stretch out a paw, but i knew what she wanted. So, i held her close to my face. She pawed my cheek, licked my nose, gave a small smile, and closed her eyes. I put my hand in front of her nose, but she wasn't breathing. I BEGGED her not to leave me, too. But, she did."

"My deep sadness turned into POWERFUL rage. I decided to show the monster, that had MURDERED TWO of my friends, what happens when an innocent person snaps. Oddly enough, my rage FORCED my quirk to manifest. So i used it to give katsuki an beatdown of UNHOLY proportions. After i finished, i gently picked up my friend, carried her here, and buried her," Izuku finished.

All might didn't know how to respond.
