ThonyWrites: Yes he is can you guess who?
Chapter 2: The chosen Tiger
"Stop it Kachan," Yelled a young boy with green bushy hair as he made a sub pair fighting stance coming to the defense of a fellow child.
"How many times do we have to do this, Deku." said a young boy that had sparks dancing off his palms. "A quirkless guy like you should just stay out of our way." as his two lackeys nodded in agreement.
"No, Kachan, you're being a bully and you can't be a hero if you're a bully."
"I'm not a bully," protested the boy, "I'm strong and I'm going to be the number one hero and I'll prove it right now. Let's go boys." as Bakugo proceeded to beat up the other boy.
Unbeknownst to all of them someone was watching the scene unfold, the figure had a massive green on their face as they watched the scene. "Yes you will be perfect."
Suddenly Katsuki Bakugo and his goons stopped as they felt a sudden chill up their spines. "Bakugo then noticed that their original target had already run away, "Come on guys let's go, it's no fun fighting a quirkless Deku." as he and the others walked off leaving the boy faced down in the ground, wallowing in despair.
"I really am useless." said the boy to himself as he lifted his head slightly he saw something in the corner of his eye but as he got to his feet, nothing was there, it was just him in the park and no one else was around. "I guess I was just seeing things." as the boy began to walk off with no direction in mind just following his gut.
~o~
The man who was watching the boy get bullied early walked across the street before entering a luxury car, inside sat a grown man in his early 30s wearing a business suit with silk back blue hair and thin rectangular glasses who was currently looking down at a laptop, only giving the man who entered a passing glance, "Why that boy?" asked the man with glasses.
"Izuku Midoriya is perfect," said the man with the giddiness of a child about to receive a present.
"I found literally every single quirkless child in the country, some that are from wealthy families, I even found one that was the child of assassins, and you pick the child that is from a no named family that has no money or power."
"Oh come now Nichi, you're missing the big picture here." said the man as he grabbed a suitcase and took out a change of clothes.
"Don't call me by that name, I threw out that name years ago." said the man formerly known as Nichi.
"Sorry, old friend, old habits die hard." as the man changed clothes. "Are all the players in place?"
"I haven't gone by Nichi in ten years but yes all the people are in place, and one of our men is leading the boy into place," said the man, "Is all of this really necessary for a pawn?"
"Hmmm, not for a pawn but for a pet absolutely."
"If you wanted a pet we could have gotten you a dog."
"Ooooh, that sounds fun," as the man suddenly got excited like a child, "What do you think, a corgi or a newfoundland."
The man adjusted his glasses as he started getting annoyed, "Get out now before you miss your window."
"Showtime."
~o~
Izuku had no idea why but he soon found himself walking to the beach, Mustafa Beach. "Maybe my brain just knew I needed to relax before I head home." Izuku said to no one as he noticed he was alone on the beach. Though he did notice something else and that was the garbage that was starting to pile up on the beach, "Man this looks bad, someone better clean this up soon or it's gonna turn into a dump."
BOOOM!
"Huh?" Izuku turned around in time to see a man wearing a worn out hoodie and pants with even more looking worn out sneakers land on the beach tossing his bag to the side. "What the heck is going on?" said Izuku as he hid behind some garbage.
"Come on guys, I said I was sorry." said the guy in the hoodie in a joking tone, 'The boy is here hiding behind the garbage, good, watch Izuku and be amazed.'
"Shut it asshole," said a big man wearing a biker outfit, "You're the one that damaged our bikes."
Izuku then saw several other men in biker outfits jump down to the beach to surround the man in the hoodie. 'Oh no, that guy is outnumbered, there are eight of them and only one of him.'
"I said I was sorry and the only reason I hit your bike was because you were about to hit that old lady."
"That doesn't matter, my sweet betsey is wrecked now because of you."
"You named your bike betsey?" said the man in a hoodie before shaking his head, "look you guys don't want to beat up a quirkless person do yeah."
'Quirkless,' as Izuku solely focuses on the man in the hoodie, 'He's quirkless like me.'
"Don't fuck with us." yelled a biker as he charged the man with a crowbar. The man in the hoodie caught the crowbar and easily flipped the biker over his head onto the ground.
"GET HIM!" yelled the leader.
The Bikers did as they were told and charged in all at once. Izuku watched in amazement as he dodged each attack from the bikers while also countering, 'No he's not countering, he deflecting each attack, he's just pushing them away, not even fighting.'
"Fuck this," yelled a biker as he raised his hand as some of the garbage floated in the air forming a sledge hammer, "Eat this!" The man in the hoodie then got into a boxing stance and delivered an upper cutted the trash hammer shattering it. "My Hammer!"
"Quirkless my ass," said another biker as he suddenly bulked up in size. "Since you used yours we'll use ours."
"What, that wasn't a quirk, it was just an uppercut, standard boxing." said the man in the hoodie.
"Then let's box," as the bulked up biker started to throw punches wildly, the hooded man dodged each blow before sighing as he changed stances, the bulk biker then threw a right hook, in an instance the man struck several finger jabs along the man's arms. "AAAHHHH," screamed the bulk biker as he fell down on his back clutching his arms, "What did you do to my arm?'
"That was Lingshu Chi Na, a Chinese martial art that targets one's acupuncture points," explained the hooded man. "It's all just martial arts, anyone can learn it."
"Anyone." said Izuku out loud.
"Huh?" said the hooded man as he looked over at Izuku pretending to notice him for the first time, locking eyes with Izuku.
"Take this!" as a biker slammed his hand into the ground causing a massive amount of sand to leap out of the ground at the hooden man and at Izuku who was behind him.
"AAAHHH," screamed Izuku as he tried to run away from being buried in sand, when suddenly he was whisked off the ground, "Huh?"
"Are you alright?" asked the hooded man who gave Izuku a warm smile.
Izuku nodded to the man before turning back to the bikers and noticed how far away they were, 'What a minute we were so close before now we're at least 10 meters away and he did that all in an instant.'
The hooded man then turned back to the biker, "Okay, we're done here, I was willing to humor you all but a child almost got hurt, we're done here."
"No we ain't," said the Biker leader, "Not until I bring your skin back to betsey." With a massive battle cry he charged, throwing a right hook at him but he moved faster, the biker leader froze as he drew his arm back, "What the hell did you just do?"
Izuku then saw the biker's arm, "He's arm, it's twisted!" shouted Izuku.
"Rakshasa's Palm a strike with a twisting motion," as he raised his arm showing that his hoodie sleeve was torn due to the power of the strike. "One of the techniques of the Koei style." explained the hooded man.
"You damn fucker," said the biker leader as he put his left thumb into his mouth before blowing into it causing his right arm to unwind and popout like normal as if he was made like a balloon. "Too bad for you that won't work on me."
"Kind of figured that was the case with the way you got up after taking that fall off your bike."
"I only fell because you hurt Betsey." Yelled the Biker leader as he charged again.
"And I repeat you were going to hurt the old lady," as he dashed forward meeting the biker leader with a flurry of punches.
The biker Leader just laughed as he took all the blows, "That won't work on me, not with my quirk."
"I was hoping otherwise because this next attack is going to hurt a lot," said the quirkless man as he pulled his right arm back and in a split second Izuku saw as the man's arm tightened and disappear as the Biker leader was suddenly launched backwards several meters landing on his fellow bikers. "Niko style: Iron Breaker!"
"BOSS!" yelled the bikers as they helped their leader lean up a bit.
"What…are …you?" asked the leader.
"I'm just a martial artist," said the man before the biker leader passed, "Now the rest of you take your boss and get lost."
The bikers then scrambled off the beach as they hailed their boss off, "This isn't the last you've heard of the Betsey Riders."
The man in hooded gave them a look of disbelief as they left, "Seriously, the Betsey riders, that's a terrible name for a biker gang." He then turned to Izuku, "Ah hello there young man are you alright? Sorry if we scared you back there."
"That was amazing!" said Izuku with stars in his eyes as he stared up at the man, "Uh My name is Izuku Midoriya, what's your name sir?"
The hooded man pulled down his hood revealing a handsome face with blonde hair with a long ponytail in back, "My name is Fei, Fei Wangfang."
"Mr. Fei, can you teach me how to do that?"
"Huh?" Fei was surprised by the sudden request, 'Wow, that was quicker than I expected.' Fei then quickly collected himself, "I'm sorry, but could you repeat that?"
"Can you teach me to fight like you?"
'Crap I wasn't expecting for it to be this easy, but I can't cave in just yet or the script will be ruined,' Fei scratched the back of his head, "Well why would you want to learn how to fight like me."
"Because I want to be a hero like you."
"Whoa whoa slow your horses young man, I'm not a hero, I'm a civilian martial artist and a quirkless one at that."
"So am I," Izuku practically shouted before becoming quiet again and saying, "I'm quirkless too."
Fei made a stunned face as he looked down at Izuku, "You're…quirkless?"
Izuku nodded, "I am but I've always wanted to help people, to save people with a smile on my face,...but I'm weak." Izuku then looked right up at Fei, "Is it possible for me to become strong like you?"
Fei patted Izuku's "Of course you can ... .how old are you?"
"Seven."
"Seven huh," Fei then looked hesitant before turning away and using his hand to cover his face, 'This is going perfect, maybe I should have been an actor.' He then glanced down at the boy's pleading face. Fei then bent down until he was at Izuku's level, "Look Izuku, I was able to get this strength through years of training and dedication, do you think you can match that resolve?"
"YES!" said Izuku immediately and full of determination.
"Well then let's put that to the test shall we," said Fei as he thought for a moment, "If you can clean up this whole beach in a month, I will accept you as my student and train you in the ways of martial arts."
Izuku looked around and saw the amount of trash around them, it wasn't as big as a dump but he could tell it was a lot. "Okay I'll do it." said Izuku.
"Then you better get started," said Fei as he watched Izuku rush to get his task done.
~o~
Fei walked down the street during the middle of the night as the luxury car from before rolled up and the door opened for Fei, "So how's your new pet?" asked the man with glasses.
Fei got in and shut the door, "He's amazing Nichi," said Fei angerying the other man but he ignored it, "He's driven, he's spent the rest of the day cleaning the beach, he's only scratched the surface but he'll finish the clean by the end of the month."
"Can you at least tell me why, him? There were several other candidates with quirkless brats that would have paid top dollar for you to train their brats."
"If I did that the most I would get would be a sub par pawn, with this I get something even better." said Fei. "By the way did you find the people I was asking for?"
"Yes I've found them," as he handed Fei a tablet. "They should fulfill your requested parameters."
"Excellent, these all will come quite in handy for Izuku."
"Speaking of the brat should I arrange an accident for his parents."
Fei gave the man a look of horror, "Hedeki, that's barbaric, we don't kill people."
The car went silent for a moment, "Pfft." Hedeki had to slap a hand on his mouth to keep himself from laughing as Fei broke out in a full blown laughter. "I can't believe you were actually able to say that."
Fei looked confused, "I thought Hedeki was your new name and all."
"You know that's not what I meant and I've been going by Hedeki Hado for years, even before I got married." explained Hedeki Hado. "Jokes and your pet project aside, we might have an issue moving forward?"
Fei got serious, "Oh and that would be?"
"Hanma broke into one of the arenas and interrupted another match, taking down both combatants."
Fei's face twisted in rage, "What were the assets worth for the fight?"
Hedeki looked through his computer, "A few reconstruction projects all in total worth 170 million yen."
"Hmmm that is an acceptable loss, did the new Ogre say what his reason was for butting into the match he had no part in?"
"He said it was to show his son a true fighter."
Fei's eyes went wide, "His son!"
"Yes, his youngest son to be precise." said Hedeki as he noticed the devilish smile on Fei's face. "Do I even want to know what you are thinking?"
"His youngest son is eight, correct?"
"Yes, wh-...Are you going to kill your pet already?" asked Hedeki as he realized where he was going with this. "He'll die real quick."
"If I sent him in now but in a few years…yes that would be a showdown for the ages, a quirkless kid defeats a Hanma, that would sell newspapers." said Fei as he imagined the pictures on the front page.
"Again, newspapers aren't really a thing in this day and age. Also I hope you keep your imagination closer to earth because right now that idea sounds insane."
"Well of course it does right now, but it will happen, we'll make it happen." said Fei causing Hedeki's eyebrow to raise, "For now just tighten security and call in a few strong fighters with a breathing room of a few months in between each of them, that should distract him for now."
"That shouldn't be too hard, there's over a dozen illegal fighting rings on each continent that have fighters good enough to fight for use, should attract others for Ogre to play with."
"Good, also I might need to borrow some people off the list for Izuku, I'm more driven now to make him the best fighter than ever before, oh and hold off on killing his parents, they might be useful for setting him a good foundation."
"That's far enough I suppose but what are we going to do about the other groups?
"Unfortunately not much for now," said Fei with a sad tone, "We have to wait on the others to start moving now, the most we can do is plan for the outcomes and work on other things in the meantime." he then pressed a button signaling the driver. "I'll check the list, you go home and give the little Hados a kiss good night, oh maybe make a few more with the wife."
Hedeki groaned little, "Nejire alone has the energy of an entire classroom, I don't think my wife can handle any more kids at the moment."
"Can't be any crazier than the underground tournaments we get into." said Fei as he opened the door to get out.
"You want to make a bet on that."
