Tape 6 truths and reunions
Tape 6: Truths and Reunions.
Izuku is currently in his last period of school. Well torture chamber should be the apt term for it. Currently tallying his notebook Izuku sees it has been 3 years since he spent a year in his mothers custody only. The entire year he soent with her was hell on earth for him and even his mother knew it. Though she did start immediately trying everything she could to move somewhere else and make life better for izuku. Izuku however stopped her and made sure they stayed. He did it to make sure he got strong against all the evils that demons and man could throw at him. Heck 6 months after being in musutafu Izuku was attacked by a villain when walking by an underpass.
"Still need more testing. I have to figure out how to get to get her responsive." Izuku says as he writes in a notebook. As he walks by a manwhole cover he hears something start rumbling and turns around to see some kind of slime man ooze his way out of the flood overflow drainage pipe and lunge at him.
"Small sized human shield. Would work to hide from that bastard! Come here kid." The slime says as izuku dodges the lazy lunges sent to him. Izuku keeps up the dodging and throws a few punches landing them solidly into the face and teeth of the guy trying to attack him knocking a few of them out.
"Like heck i'll sit still and let you molest me! Ill take you on skidmark!" Izuku says angry that this thing is attacking him like the zombies in the River city dump.
"WHAT?! im not trying to molest you! Im trying to kill you and use your body you little shit!" Izuku and the slime actually stop what they're doing to process what was just said.
"I mean im gonna kill you, stuff myself inside your corpse and Wow, i am bad at this..." The slime says before izuku gets serious and dempsey rolls forward to throw a solid right hook nailing the slime directly in the eye causing the entire pile to spasm in agony and scream out in pain. Izuku acting quickly opens his backpack and puts a disassembled taser back together before loading it with a cartridge and shooting the slime electrocuting the man. Soon around the corner A huge pillar of a man runs into view.
"IT'S FINE NOW, WHY?" The voice bellows before coming into view of the scene before him.
"BECAUSE I AM...YOU'RE TASING THE VILLAIN LIKE HE'S KICKED YOUR PUPPY. GOOD JOB!" The man bellows and gives a thumbs up as izuku looks at the man and gasps. ALL MIGHT is here and was chasing this guy?
"All might? Oh my goodness! Im so happy you're here! This guy was trying to go all skinwalker on me! But i stopped him! Were you chasing him?" Izuku asks as ALL MIGHT nods.
"Yes i was! He had stollen a women's purse and rushed away to hide but i was in the area and chased him down. Sadly he slipped into the runoff drains and tried getting away. Thankfully im quick! So you used a taser and not your quirk to stop him? You know you can use your quirk for self defense and not be charged as a vigilante right?" All might asks as Izuku sighs.
"I'm quirkless sir. I have no quirk to use so i have to improvise. I knocked his literal teeth out punching his face, the only solid part of him, and after he said he'd use my body i accused him of trying to molest me which stunned him long enough to put his guard down and i punched his eye off. Its over there! I put the taser i had dismantled in my bag together and used it on him. Here this is an old air tight laminated plastic container with micromesh air holes. I used it in my school project to show how liquid acts in a vacuum. It should hold slimmer mc kiddie toucher better than those bottles strapped to your waist." Izuku says to the hero knowing he'll have to give a statement to either him or the police and handing off the large case. It fits the slime in no problem. Izuku the whole time stares at all might and just fidgets.
"What is on your mind young midoriya?" ALL MIGHT asks having gotten the name from the tag on the case' lid as Izuku sighs and nods to himself.
"I have a question for you All Might...can a quirkless person become a hero?" Izuku asks as All might is floored by the question. Holding the slime man inside the container firmly he sighs deeply as he speaks with izuku.
"Can a quirkless person become a hero? Hmm, No i think not. Heros need to be ready to risk their lives at a moments notice to save everyone they can and normal everyday people, quirkless included are capable of this act. However, their are just some villains...some monsters who can only be taken out with a quirk. It's not bad to have a dream, young man. Especially about being a hero! However sometimes its just not gonna happen so at times like that just make sure that your dreams are attainable, realistic, understood?" All Might says to Izuku who looks absolutely devastated at All Mights words to him. Izuku just nods to All Might holding back his tears as the sludge villain is taken away by All Might.
Unknown to Izuku All Might is also crying the entire time he's walking away as All Might knowing he just crushed a childs dream and did it to save his life.
After that incident Izuku was devastated and ran home. He didn't cry, he didn't complain and he didn't lament. Instead he resolved himself to remember the very first person in his life to tell him he could be a Hero. Angel Gabby told him he could do anything he put his mind too and by the will of the lord Izuku will become a hero.
Izuku spent 6 months planning out everything he could while still looking for a way to bring back angel Gabby and he started on the first day back at his dads. Starting with engineering classes and building classes. Now however its been 3 years since then. Izuku's room is actually now even more sparse than before. The only hero merch he has is a limited edition signed and voiced Endeavor statue. A lot of his aunt Ryukyu the dragoon hero including a rare dragon form plush pillow and a lot more merch of Mirko the rabbit hero. The entire rest of his room was littered wall to wall ceiling to floor in angel Gabby stuff. He liked mirko a lot. She may be rough and very much a tomboy but izuku liked her. She advocates and is the leader for the equal rights means equal fights party.
Which is primarily a quirkless political group asking and protesting for equal rights among the population basically wanting the same rights as those with quirks. Something ryukyu, Gang Orca, best Jeanist and even american heros like Cathleen Bates, The Flash, spiderman and Static Shock have openly claimed as being an important movement giving full support and funding from them all!
They all were true heros to Izuku. Everyone of them. Izuku sighs as the teacher finally wakes up from his "Meditation" read as sleeping off his hangover. The teacher sees the time and pulls out some papers.
"Okay you little crotch goblins listen up! I have here some future assessment papers im supposed to hand out. But i already know what you're all wanting to do. You're all going to try and be heros arent you?" The teacher says as the class cheers.
"Midoriya, you're planning on going to UA aren't you?" The teacher says with a sickening grin on his face. Izuku knowing he just broke the law by giving that information out to the public. Nothing would be done and he knew it.
"Of course, what gave the impression i was aiming for anything less than the best? By the way thanks for just openly breaking federal law and giving out the highly confidential information on what school a student has applied too for his education. Makes sueing this cesspit a piece of cake." Izuku says as a greenlight flashes and speaks.
"EVIDENCE SENT TO CLOUD." The robotic voice states as he grins only to feel something coming at him from the side.
Sliding out of the way izuku barely dodges Katsuki exploding his desk to smithereens with the use of his quirk. No skin off his nose. The dang thing had threats, slurs and many more things carved into it. All of which he was blamed for.
"YOU'RE STILL AIMING TO BE A HERO YOU FUCKING NULL!" Katsuki says as his hands spark before he clenches them.
"Of course you yapping Pomeranian. My dream has always been to be a hero. Im not giving it up." Izuku says as this is only sort of true. He's been contemplating if it would work or not and All Might held a lot of sway in his decision but he wasn't going to give it up till he either died or got a decent second opinion.
"As if UA would accept a fucking Null in it's halls. You'll be lucky to simply get a beating for LOOKING at its entrance. Here's an idea you fucking Nothing. How about you head to the roof of a tall building, pray for a quirk in your next life AND TAKE A SWAN DIVE OFF A ROOF!" Bakugo says with true vitriol on his voice.
Izuku hears this and goes silent. His eyes close and he has to calm himself down. As this happens the teacher finally speaks up.
"Alright Bakugo, back to your seat. Midoriya get out of this classroom now. You're expelled for causing a disturbance to your classmates, damage to school property and threatening the school with a frivolous lawsuit." The teacher says smugly as izuku just looks at him.
" Bakugo is the one who blew up the desk sir." Izuku says firmly.
"I know but he's an angel. He only broke your desk because you deserved it now leave." The teacher says as izuku merely laughs.
"Katsuki's not an angel he's a devil wearing human skin and a walking terrorist plot also if i deserved to have the desk blown up i guess im sorry i was born since that was his only reason to do it. I'll see you all in hell." Izuku says grabbing his things before leaving. Especially his school project. A prototype capture device designed to spread a gas similar to the hero Midnight and also shrink them down to be contained in the small orb in the center.
Leaving the school grounds Izuku is looking at his notes on his final experiment to bring Angel Gabby back into his life.
"So the only option i have left is that she lives in a broadcast space. It needs to be a live type broadcast. I have to get her back. I'll try as soon as i." Izuku speaks to himself as he writes in his notebook until he hears rumbling again.
Sure enough looking behind him he sees a sort of sludge rise up from the overflow pipes in the underpass.
"oh a medium sized ...YOU LITTLE SHIT I REMEMBER YOU!" The slime villain says angry as it tries attacking izuku. Izuku dodging his frantic strikes.
"Nice to see you again too skidmark" izuku retorts easily dodging the frantic attacks as he slides and glides through the area like a ghost.
"ill turn you into a skinsuit for the humiliation 3 years ago that way i can hide from her! Come here yah little shit!" The slime villain says only to once again get a hard reality check as Izuku Dempsey rolls again and nails the villain in his eye again. This time the punch is so hard it causes the appendage to pop sending the villain into a frenzy as he screams. Izuku aims his hand at the villain turning his hand down revealing the hightech bracelet on his wrist which shoots two high voltage taser lines at the villain who stops dead noticing its different than before.
"Whoa there little buddy. No need to be hasty! Im sure we can talk this out like a-" is all the man gets as while he was talking he tried sneak attacking Izuku who just pushed a button on his bracelet engulfing the villain in a massive outpouring of electricity causing him to scream in agony and pain as someone rounds the corner.
"GET BACK HERE YOU SLIPPERY SHIT! GROPE MY ASS WILL YOU! I'LL...see you getting tased to shit by a kid. Good job little man. Can i try?" The 6' tall tanned skinned woman says. Her rabbit ears and costume giving away who it was.
Mirko walks over to the kid and sees his wrist device connecting the taser lines to the villain and sees a button. Mirko gently pushes it causing the villain to be zapped again. Smirking she pushes it a few more times in short bursts laughing a little bit before giving the overcooked villain 6 seconds of not being zapped before pushing and holding the button for another 10 seconds.
(forgot fanfic doesn't like Hyperlinks. imagine what happened to the south park zimmerman at the electric chair scene. that's what's happening.)
Izuku sighs and walks over to the Villain after mirko had her fun and uses his prototype device. The pink vapor seeps out and around the villain causing him to pass out while shrinking him. A flash of light hits everyone and the villain is now inside the orb at the center. He hands it off to Mirko.
"One villain, extra crispy hold the onions." Izuku says as Mirko laughs a bit as she takes the container.
"Thanks for the help kid. Those devices of yours are awesome. You got some kinda super genius quirk or something?" mirko asks as she tosses the container up and down.
"No ma'am. Im quirkless." Izuku states making mirko smile a little bit and laugh heartily.
"Well shit that's even better. So i heard a little of that before hand. You know this shit swizzler?" Mirko says as Izuku nods once more.
"Yeah, three in a half years ago he tried to go all skin walker on me to hide from all might. I fought him off and knocked out his teeth and tased him then too. This time i hit his eye harder than intended and burst it like it was a water balloon. Mirko can i ask you something?" Izuku says hope filling his heart as he looks at this hero.
"Sure kid, what's on your mind?" Mirko says as she can't help but love this kids spunk.
"Can a quirkless become a hero?" Izuku asks as Mirko sighs deeply not expecting this.
"Listen kid. If it were up to me, id literally change the laws and allow for it to be possible. Personally, Yes i do believe a quirkless like you can be a hero. A damn good hero too if they put their mind to it. I want more quirkless to fight wrongs and be heros in all walks of life. Sadly the laws that are around now PLUS with how the media, public opinion and the damn dirty bastards at the HPSC are running things a quirkless hero will never happen." Mirko says as she gets to izukus eye level seeing him tear up.
"The HPSC and everyone else is so against it they made it near impossible for a quirkless to get literally anything in life even a decent job. As much as i fight against it with the others...objectively i have to say no a quirkless can't be a hero. But personally i say fuck all those assholes. You wanna be a hero? Fucking go for it kid! Ill support you all the way cause hell yes i believe a quirkless can be a hero. Do you know how i know that a quirkless can be a hero?" Mirko asks izuku who's tears changed from ones of disappointment to ones of hope and determination.
"H-How? How do you know?" Izuku asks and Mirko smiles.
"Because, a quirkless just stopped a wanted murderer not once but twice using his own skills and brain. One time when he was what? 10? and another when he was...well you look 14 so ill say that. Not only did you stop him twice you did it so easily with that brain of yours. You kid, you can do anything you put your mind too." Mirko says as she smiles at him. The words she spoke and the smile on her face brings izuku to see Angel Gabby next to her saying the same words. Bringing izuku to tears as he sees that. Mirko sighs and looks off into the sky.
"But not only that. Do you know who the Ghost Faced Killer is?" Mirko asks causing Izukus blood to run dead cold. Of course he knew Ghost Face. After all, It's hard to forget your fathers personal body guard who trained you in literally everything they knew and can fight them to a dead even stand still. Izuku still had the exact duplicate costume Ghost Face gave him before leaving the employ of his father. He shivers at the memories before nodding to her.
"The most notorious and brutal masked serial mass murderer in all of HISTORY! Who killed a total of 300 of the strongest quirked heros in japan and injured 120 more who, when transferred to tartarus, escaped his cell and in his rampage killed another 30 people? Yeah that absolute monster was quirkless. He worked for some big shot villain overlord in River city. If a quirkless could be THAT DEADLY against the hero's they sure as shit can be that deadly to villains." Mirko says as Izuku smiles at Mirko hugging her tightly. His chin resting on her shoulder before she hugs the kid back.
"Go on home kid, i'll take care of this skidmark and get this capture thing back to you." Mirko says as Izuku shakes his head.
"Keep it. Its already patented and more are about to hit the market both in river city, america and Japan. My dad made sure of it. That's the only one in existence right now but it'll do more good with you than it will with me. Call it a gift...a gift for believing in a dreamer like me!" Izuku says smiling as he he takes what mirko said to heart before leaving for home.
Mirko smiling at the new piece of tech she was given and races off to the police station. Looking the device over and finding a "Subdue" button on it Mirko gets curious and pushes it. The button press causes an electric discharge inside the containment orb shocking the perp inside once again bringing mirko to laugh a bit as the slime villain screams in pain.
Izuku runs inside his bedroom immediately and set up his computer. He goes to the streaming platform twitch he had his father revive and set up to gain money on many kinds of streaming genres like vods, games, podcasts and more. It was so successful his father barely had to check on it and just rake in the money through advertisements and mostly simps wanting to see pretty girls do just about anything.
Izuku turns over to his Juke box and hits his remotes power button as the jukebox turns on a vinyl record begins playing.
(Now playingGuardian Angel by Masquerade)
"My memories of her are set in stone inside my heart." Izuku says as he sets up the parameters for the capture software as the song plays. His mind remembering everything Gabby and him have done. Flashing back to his early childhood.
Angel Gabby having an easle and canvas infront of her as she's painting a picture izuku and herself under a shady tree near a pond with a waterfall. Izuku following her instructions but it coming out how any other 6 year olds would.
"That's a lovely painting Izuku!" Angel Gabby says with a smile.
" The live broadcast was how she spoke." Izuku continues saying as another memory played in his mind while he keyed in the tapes to the device he connects to the computer.
Angel Gabby was sitting on a pier with a bucket and a fishing rod giggling at something. The sound is heavenly to izuku's ears.
"That's silly Izuku, people without quirks can't fly." Angel Gabby says with a sidelong glance at him a smile on her face still. As izuku had told her of a villain mirko kicked into the sky
"It was where she lived." Izuku says once more as he loads up his twitch account linking the capture software and the account. Another memory playing in izuku's head as he begins tearing up.
Angel Gabby is lying on her bedroom floor in the dark with a flashlight and a book reading it. Looking up from her book Angel Gabby gives Izuku a loving and patient gaze as she speaks to a silent and crying Izuku.
"Dont worry, we can stay here as long as you need me too." Angel Gabby says while looking at izuku as he nods to her in silence.
"I have to get her live again." Izuku says strongly. While seeing the second monitor come to life with a still image of the first episode of Angel Hare As another memory plays in his head.
Angel Gabby is lying down on a cloud relaxing with her arms behind her head. Izuku mimicing her actions as he too is relaxing on a big plush cloud seat. Angel gaby opens on of her eyes and speaks to izuku.
"I hope you're having as much fun as i am." Angel Gabby speaks before closing her eye again and just continues remaining in izuku's presence sitting in silence just relaxing and being there for him.
"I feel like im going insane without her being here with me. Hopefully live streaming an episode will work. Im letting HER OUT!" Izuku says as he is tearing up still. As more memories play of Angel Gabby.
Angel Gabby has a red Butterfly on her finger as she's talking.
"The color tells other animals that this one is dangerous. We can be dangerous too Izuku." Angel Gabby says as she looks at Izuku with a knowing smirk.
"We can keep them away with just our banner!" Angel Gabby says as she smiles warmly at Izuku.
Seeing everything is set up izuku tabs to twitch and presses the "Go live" button as Angel Hare begins playing on screen.
"Angel Gabby, oh Angel Gabby." Francis says as Izuku doesnt get his hopes up but continues watching and speaks.
"H-Hello? Gabriel? A-Angel G-Gabby?" Izuku says as the beginning plays out like normal with angel Gabby peeking from behind the clouds before floating down to francis.
"Good morning francis, i love to hear you call." Gabby says a bit slowly as she looks at the screen. Izukus tear filled eyes staring at the screen as he breaths somewhat heavily.
"Have you brought a new friend with you?" Angel gabby asks a bit skepticaly as to why someone so old looking is watching the show.
"Yes but i'm fearful angel Gabby. I never know what to say." Francis says looking down in shame like he always does. Izuku knowing it worked because of how different this Angel Gabby is acting to the VCR Gabby. Izuku in surprise gets up from his chair and speaks hastily.
"Oh my g-, wha.. Um it's me! Izuku. I'm here! Do you...remember me?" Izuku asks so fearful this isn't his angel and he'll forever lose her until Angel Gabby smiles.
Her smile is so full of love and caring Izuku is brought to tears as gabby fights against what ever restrictions are binding her and she leaves the computer screen out into the real world. Flying infront of Izuku as she hugs him in her arms.
"I'm so happy to see you Izuku. Just look how well you've grown!" Angel Gabby says holding Izukus hand as she stops the hug. Izuku to his own surprise and the surprise of francis and Angel Gabby leans forward closing his and kisses Angel Gabby square on her lips and wraps his arms around her. The action surprising the angel for only a moment before she closes her eyes and returns the kiss wholely. Her eyes closing in pleasure as her heart soars to new heights she didn't know possible.
Their time together was just begining and both of them knew this.
