"Confirming. The subjects are currently stable and their blood and bodies are now adapted to their new quirks." huh? What the? Why does my head hurt? There was the noise of a some machinery around and slowly, I opened my eyes and saw a few people wandering about. In the corner of my eyes, I saw a big booping beeping machine and another guy also seemingly alongside me. Upon further inspection, I saw it was my friend Ethan. Surveying the situation, I saw that I wasn't injured, so this couldn't be an ambulance. Looking from side to side, I saw the people looking through some documents. "Alright, now if we can just inject this mind control blood that Amane provided, these two boys will be fully under our control." I looked to see if I was restrained after that ominous statement, realizing I was.
"Unfortunately, we need to test their bodies durability first. If they're unable to handle their quirks, then we have no need for them. Besides, we need to find out their newfound quirks in the first place." I sighed, "Hey! Don't know about you, but this doesn't feel too comfortable. You mind letting us go?" They looked back at us, before walking up to me. I blacked out as a big fist landed into my gut.
My eyes drifted open once more, I saw myself hooked up to some sort of machine. I saw the people standing holding a lever, before pulling it. I felt a jolt of electricity shoot through my body. I felt as though my very atoms were revolting against me and my body felt like it was becoming increasingly numb. As soon as it began, it stopped and I panted, "W-what the fuck was t-th-that for?" One of them wrote something on a clip board. "Turn it on higher, for both of them." My eyes widened, before I felt an even more intense feeling coursing through every vein, every nerve ending getting assaulted by the very intense feeling of being electrocuted.
I could hear Ethan writhing about and attempting to break out of the restrains. I looked over, painfully and saw that he wasn't any better off than I was, but he did seem to be taking it better. They stopped, "Onto the next tests." I blacked out as a fist hit my gut again as a big guy walked up and punched me.
I'm getting real tired off waking up to scenes like this. I stared as we were dangling over a pool of water. "Let me guess-HMPPFOS!" I held my breath as I was submerged. I looked over at the people as they took more notes.
A minute passed as I felt blackness take me. I was dragged back up. I panted, coughing as I glared at the people, "S…..Son of a……. bitch." I was dunked a few more times for extended amount of times before passing out.
Waking up I realized we were moving in what looked like a shipping container I looked around and saw that my restraints were loosened a whole lot. Slipping a hand out, I reached over and slapped Ethan awake. His eyes opened, and he looked around, before nodding. I slipped my other hand out, before unstrapping him.
Taking a look, I saw a group of guys standing around with a big macho looking man standing and a guy with a metal rod. I lowered myself to the ground as I walked up to one of the people, I charged, shoving him against the wall, slamming his face against said wall. The shipping container's wall dented outwards. Looking at the others, I then leaped up and kneed another person in the gut, before grabbing his face and smashing it to the ground.. "That's for both dunking me and the torturous shock therapy." Ethan looked around, but seemed a bit distressed, before attempting to punch the biggest of the bois. His fist was grabbed by the macho man, who lifted him up and threw him into the wall, Ethan stood up and rushed forward and went to punch again, his punch landed, but there was a fatal flaw with it. 'That's not enough force for a guy that big. The punch itself wasn't that good either. The form is completely wrong as well. Seems he's not as good without a sword.' I noticed as I then rushed forward, jumping up and punched him in the face, before grabbing an arm and using it to get on his back, landing a few good hits onto his neck before leaping off.
As I landed, I swept his leg. Causing him to stumble forward and trip. Ethan rushed forward ducking a swipe from the guy with the metal rod, before kicking him in the testicular region. As ethan stood up, he then charge towards the last guy, thrusting his metal rod into the guy's chest, head, leg, and arms in under a second. He then put his arm behind his back and then wailed on him for upwards of 40 seconds.
The macho man stood up and looked at us. What came next could only be described as an explosion without a spark, fire, or noise. We were just missed as a suddenly force shot next to us as the wall broke, revealing that we were indeed in the back of a semi-truck. Cars suddenly swerved out of the way, creating many accidents that would be a big concern if we weren't currently facing a guy with an unknown power.
"Dammit, now the pros will come won't they? I suppose I'll have to restrain you myself." He aimed his hand towards us as suddenly I felt myself launch back into the edge of trailer stopping myself, I charged forward only for him to aim his hand towards me, before I was launched back once more. 'His hand…' I was then kicked in the ribs and launched back, barely standing up as I yelled, "Restrain? You call that restraining? That almost killed me you fucker! Now I don't know who you think you are, but I've seen enough of your power to know that you need to aim your hand, don't you? Ethan, let's knock this guy into next week." I charged forward, dodging as his hand raised. I then slid under his legs, he turned around, only to be smacked in the back of his head. I launched myself up, grabbing his arm and throwing him over my shoulder as my arms screamed at me to stop working them so hard. "You're REALLY heavy…. Fatty." I said sarcastically. He screamed in rage as he stood up and charged, foregoing his power. Smirking, I rushed forward and slid underneath him as he looked at me, but was unable to stop as Ethan swatted him to the side almost effortlessly.
The macho man slammed his fist onto the ground, standing back up, his hand shot up and I was hit be an invisible force dead on, I could feel my ribs cracking. I grit my teeth as he stood up only to be knocked down with a punch to the neck. I grabbed his shirt, lifting him up. I then wailed on his face. Punch after punch landing into his face. Over and over again. Letting him slump on the ground, I stood on the back of his neck, "That was for the hits. Now, give up. This won't end well for your body otherwise." He struggled to stand and I sighed, "Ethan." He stepped forward, before slamming the rod down so hard, I could hear the metal cracking, knocking the man out. "It's finally…. Over. My ribs…. hurt. I'll just sleep now." I held my chest, before stumbling back and falling out of the semi-truck. I hit the road and blacked out nearly immediately.

"Oh Jeez!" I leapt off the trailer after Kenneth fainted, falling off and onto the road. I threw my rod to the side of the road and snatched up Kenneth while running in the rods general direction. I looked back up the road to see the semi just coming to a stop on the side of the road. The flung open and out stepped the driver. He was grumbling and was evidently annoyed by the events panning out before him. Once he got far enough out he looked into the now very damaged trailer to find mine and Kenneth's handiwork.
"Aughhhhh, Goddammit, you guys! You had one job, ONE JOB! They were already restrained, how did you fuck this up?!" He sighed and put a hand on his face. The sheer unending disappointment radiating off this man could almost be tasted, let alone felt. I placed Kenneth down in the grass and picked up my metal rod, advancing on the driver. He looked back up and sighed once again. "The heroes are gonna show up any minute now, I gotta finish this one quick and hightail it out of here." As I walked upon him I wound up for a good swing from the side, quite worried that he wasn't doing anything to avoid it but there wasn't much else I could do.
I made my move and the metal bar flew quickly towards my foes head. Just as it was about to make contact he suddenly disappeared. I looked around frantically but he was nowhere in sight. In a split second he popped up in front of me and gave me a good punch in the gut before disappearing. I lerched forward, clutching my stomach before I got hit hard in the spine and was knocked on my hands and knees. I got back up and started swinging the rod around frantically and wildly as that was about all I could do. Just as I finished a swing he popped back up and punched me square in the face which left me dazed. He gave a few more punches to my torso and face before grabbing on to my rod. I tried wrench it out of his grasp but found myself stumbling backward, my hands now empty. I grunted, looking around again. He popped up in front of me again and swung the metal bar hard into my stomach and then immediately into my nose before disappearing again. I stumbled, putting my hand to my nose as it started dripping blood and I couldn't breathe out of it anymore. I removed my hand so I could use it to fight but at this point it probably wouldn't make any difference.
He teleported behind me and hit me in the back of the leg, forcing me to kneel down and then hit me in the head again knocking me on to my ass. He swung the metal bar in front of my face before giving me several hits to the face for some odd amount of seconds. I grunted audibly before getting up on my knees. Semi Driver pulled up his shirt and looked at his wrist as if he was checking the time on a watch, but alas there was no watch. He then gave his own hearty grunt. "Come on big boy, get up. Chop chop." Semi Driver walked up to me and started helping me up, dusting me off and getting me to my feet. He then grabbed me by the sides hard. Then the next thing I knew I couldn't feel the ground below me.
The driver stayed in front of me for but a second before disappearing, the feeling of weightlessness taking over as I realized he took me high into the air, looking back I could see the trailer. I flailed as I fell backwards towards the trailer. "Oh god oh god OH GO-" It only took a few seconds to descend upon the trailer. My back banged against the edge of the trailer and I flopped forward and fell face first onto the pavement. I groaned trying even harder to get up again and I was wacked one more time across the back of my head, nearly blacking out. I let my head fall to the ground, pretending to get knocked out. "There! I still don't know how they had so much trouble with you two. I ought to go get the other." I heard him run away from the trailer, probably to obtain Kenneth. I could feel pain all throughout my body, especially my back. It feels like it's nearly broken, I probably wouldn't have the best time ever trying to walk, I definitely broke a few bones by this point. All of a sudden a strange feeling welled up in the center of my being. I opened my eyes as I tapped into this feeling, some electricity sparking up on my hand and a sort of tingling sensation in my hand all the while. My eyes widened as I was surprised at the current event unfolding before my eyes. I heard Semi Driver approaching and quickly flopped back on the ground, making sure not to pass out. I felt his big, stronf hands wrapping around my stumach. I was tossed up on his shoulder haphazardly and was pressed up against Kenneth's big beefy body, my hand resting on his… uhhhh, "slim jim". I started bumping around on his shoulder as he walked towards the semi. I waited just a little bit before making my move. I tapped into that that feeling again and thrust my fingers into semi driver's stomach, releasing a hefty dose of the electricity into him. He immediately lurched and fell down to the ground spasming. I and Kenneth tumbled to the ground as he could no longer support us. I then darted up on my feet and ran over to the metal pole from earlier which was fortunately very near. I ended up getting to it way faster then I had intended or expected and nearly took a tumble getting to it. I picked it up and rushed to semi driver who was currently struggling to his feet. I used some more energy to wind up and deliver a strong swipe to his head, knocking him unconscious. I dropped the rod as all the energy left my body again. "Oof my back. Maybe Kenneth had the right idea, if we ignore him falling off the trailer. Yeah, I think ima take nap, the authorities can take it from here." I fell flat on my face, falling asleep before I hit the ground.

I woke up with a start to the beep of what sounded like a hospital heartbeat monitor thingy. I looked at my surroundings , seeing this was indeed an actual hospital. I sat up, only for my torso to immediately ache. I winced, before I saw Ethan. He was wrapped up in bandages. I slapped him in the face, waking him up. "Come on, we're in a hospital and I'm leaving. I don't like hospitals." I winced a bit in disgust. I saw Ethan take a swig of oxygen through his nose. "Hm, my nose isn't broken anymore, that's nice. Anyway, I'm good with leaving." After I put my clothes back on, I then walked over to the window, opening it up and looking out, we were at least 15 stories up and the roof just above us. "We're going to have to jump onto the top and over to the next building. I suspect if we escape through the front door someone will catch us, you go first." He walked up to the window and looked around, ultimately settling his sights on the roof of the building in front of us. He then wound up and took the jump. Though just as he stretched out to jump a sickening crack emanated and he fell forward. "Ah my back!"
Thinking fast, I grabbed his hand as he fell. "Whoa there. Be careful man. We don't wanna end up back here before we even leave. Now hold on." I started to swing his body back and forth. Gaining momentum, I let go as I swung him towards the roof. "Ow fuck!" I fell back as my arms started aching after the weight of his body left them. "I need to stop lifting things like that."
Looking out the window, I heard footsteps approaching the door. Looking back, I saw it open to reveal a nurse looking at a clipboard. She looked up, our eyes met as I was standing crouched on the windowsill and she ran to stop me. I jumped and grabbed onto the ledge above. Looking at Ethan, he was still laying on the ground complaining about his back. Using such phrases as, "my back." "Oh my poor back." And my favorite, "Help. I've fallen and I can't get up." Chuckling, I helped him up and we made our way over to the edge of the hospital roof and towards the apartment building.
As he recovered, he then took the initiative and leapt to the smaller apartment building. And landed on one of the side alley fire escapes. Smiling, I ran forward, vaulted over and tried to do a trick. As I flew through the air I started losing momentum and I could only bring my arms up to shield myself when I crashed through a window.
By the time we got to the streets, we were tired and currently homeless. I took a look at our surroundings, spotting only a trash filled beach a few meters to the right, and nothing else of interest. We decided to do a check of our belongings. I currently have my phone, my wallet, a lighter for emergency camp fires, and my driver's license. "I suppose we have to find out where in the world we are." I sighed, pulling out my phone to open Google maps.
"No. What? That's not…. Wait…." Looking up, I glanced at Ethan, "I've got some good news and some bad news. Good news: I know where we are. Bad news: we're close to a beach called Dagobah beach." Pausing for a second I sighed, "In Japan." Just as Ethan was about to speak, we heard some groans of exertion coming from the beach. We looked at each other, before looking over to the trash heap that was the beach, seeing a large portion of the cleared beach. In the clearing was a boy of slightly younger age than us. He had dark green hair, freckles and looked rather plain. Beside him was a rather skeletal man with blonde hair.
They seemed to be cleaning this beach. "Maybe we can ask them for directions to somewhere to stay." Ethan nodded, apparently going through one of his periods of silence. We walked forward, our shoes sinking into the sand. "Um, hey?" Suddenly the green haired boy suddenly jumped startled as he looked to see what was going on. Smiling, I teasingly said, "Jumpy aren't ya?" He started to stutter and apologies came out at a rapid fire pace. Not expecting the verbal onslaught that I had unleashed, I sighed. "We're not from around here, you mind pointing us in the direction of a place to sleep?" He stopped his onslaught and stared at me, "S-sorry, around here the only place to sleep without moving in is the hospital. T-there aren't any hotels or anything like that." He looked at us apologetically as the skeletal looking man stood in the back ground. I looked down, "Ah. Shame. So what are you guys doing here cleaning the beach up? Seems like a little much for just two people." I looked over at a nearly crushed car. The greenette looked at the skeletal man,before turning back, "I'm training my body to become a hero." His conviction was intense and I saw it. The only other person I've ever seen this intense was Ethan before sword matches and during video games.
"Cool. I'm Kenneth Richmond and this is my best friend, Ethan Crow. What's your name?" The green haired boy seemed to relax, "My name is Izuku Midoriya." My eyes widened at the name, thinking back to what a scientist has said. 'They wanted to test if our bodies could handle… our quirks. But we don't have any quirks and they don't exist. Unless…. Come to think of it, that hand guy did say something about the pros arriving. I think I got it. But hold on, but that's only something you see in fanfiction and certain webnovels and webtoons.' I smiled, "So, you want to be a hero? You wanna spar later?" A moment of silence passed as Ethan looked at me with a confused look. Midoriya's eyes widened as he looked at me, "W-what?" His voice squeaked out as he tilted his head in confusion. I chuckled, "If you wanna be a hero then you must be able to fight without your quirk right? You know just in case you can't use it? I'm also trying to be a hero, you know." If I knew what I was talking about, then this is the right thing to say. If I'm right, then we are currently in the manga/anime, My hero academia (Or Boku no hero academia if you want to call it that. I don't since it sounds too much like Boku no pico.)
Midoriya flinched at the question and reasoning. "Y-yeah, fighting without a quirk…" deciding to add the final nail in the coffin,no stop pulling all the stops, "You're aiming for U.A too right? I mean of course you are, any hero worth their salt originally comes from there." He started to nod, "That makes sense." He looked at the skeletal man, which I could probably say with certainty is All Might.
"I'm kidding. Anyway, we're still looking for a place to stay and it's getting pretty late. Any suggestions? We're actually from America so we don't have enough yen to rent any apartments." Rubbing the back of my head, I laughed slightly, "We came here with only the plan to take the exam, but never got a place to stay." Midoriya looked a bit worried as he looked at us, "I-I could ask my mom, i-if you could stay for a while."
I looked in shock, "Cool, thanks. You're a lifesaver. I was worried that we would have to live on the streets, cold and moneyless." I then smiled, "we can wait until you're done with your training here however. Maybe we'll train before leaving as well."

'We- I- they- mmmmmmmmm'. We bid Zulu and might say farewell for now as we found ourselves in a separate area of the beach. Me and Kenneth both stared at each other, menacingly.
"...so wow nhat?" Kenneth stared at me, "So I noticed something." He walked forward, "You're not the best at hand to hand are you?" "Pah, not at all! Never thrown a punch before getting here!" He laughed, "I could tell! Your punch wasn't ever going to be enough to do much damage. You didn't turn your body into it or anything. Basically, that punch was pathetic." I shook my head in agony. "Yep, that shounds about righ. I'm definitely not the cream of the caribbean jack when it comes to fisting." Kenneth shrugged, "You are going to fight me." "Yeah, ok. Sounds about right." Me and KeKe spread out from each other and took a fighting stance. 'Alright, ok. My first hand to hand fight. This is going to be challenging. I just have to think back to what I did in the trailer, learn from it and try and improve my punches. If I make a plan that'll also help. Yeah, I'll rip a page out of Sherlock Holmes' book, I'll be unstoppable. Ok, so first-'
I felt a sharp pain on my cheek. Stumbling back, I felt heavy hits around my body. Kenneth stopped for but a moment, before his leg was planted into my face. He grabbed my arm, before twisting it behind my back, "My advice to you, you can think of a plan during battle when you have more information. Until then, the only plan of attack that I recommend is to attack." He then let go of me. "Let's try that again."

After Kenneth and ethan spared a few more times Kenneth snuck out and snagged someone's speaker while they weren't looking. Kenneth's turned on epic training music as Ethan and Kenneth resumed their training. Ethan can be seen trying to punch Kenneth but ends up horribly missing his mark and falling into the ground, with enough force to make a small crater. Kenneth takes this time to put his hand to his face in sheer, unending disappointment before continuing the battle. The scene cuts to Kenneth directing Ethan on the basics of punch throwing. Ethan then uses this knowledge to do slightly better against Kenneth. We now find Ethan exploring and practicing his quirk, draining the battery out of some poor las's car and stranding him.
Then, it shows Kenneth staring at Ethan in surprise, before Ethan is pummeled by an angry driver. After a few cuts to Izuku's house and K and E eating some delicious home cooking, it shows Kenneth's skin seemingly harden as Ethan punches his gut, forcing Ethan to wave his hand in pain. We then go through a few scenes of ethan fighting Kenneth, slowly getting better to the point that he can hold his own for a little bit, but still gets stomped pretty hard. We then cut to Ethan sending a flurry of punches as Kenneth stands there, realizing.
Ethan is then shown covering his fist in electricity as he tries to punch Kenneth, only for Kenneth's body to start absorbing it. Kenneth is shown covering himself in a purple looking shade of what was zoomed in on and shown to be nanomachines, son. They hardened in response to physical trauma as Ethan was shown to not be able to hurt him. It then showed them running into the sunrise as sweat poured down their now much more muscular bodies, determined and ready for what would come next.
...
I stood next to all might and Ethan as Izuku stood atop a pile of trash, screaming in triumph. His body toned much more than the anime would like you to believe. I smiled, before walking towards the beach, catching Izuku as he fell off said pile. "You did great, man. We still have one day before the Exam." I carried him towards Toshinori and laid him on the ground. Deciding that we needed to leave for this next part. "Hey, Ethan. You wanna grab some breakfast?" Ethan shook his head enthusiastically. "Oh yes! I've had a spaghetti taco craving these past few days that must be quelled!" Nodding, I smiled. "Let's head to Mr. Popo's Eatery." We walked away as Izuku started to talk to All Might.
By the time we finished eating, we saw all might, in buff form, walk to us. "Young men, I've seen you around town these past 15 days and I must say that upon seeing your training, I must ask. You're training for U.A aren't you?" I nodded, "Yeah, unfortunately we don't have an application for it yet so I'm hoping that we can just impress enough heroes to get in regardless." He gasped, "Oh, that won't do! I can bring you some applications later today if you come back here to Mr. Popo's Eatery. Very good restaurant, the spaghetti tacos are to die for, I don't know why it isn't immensely more popular than it is, but regardless I shall be off. Thank you for your continued support!" He leapt up into the sky as we stood in shock. Recovering, I looked at Ethan, "What the hell just happened?" Ethan shrugged, "Plot."
