KONICHIWA, FOLKS! KAMENCJ HERE WITH A NEW FANFIC COMING RIGHT AT YA!
NOW, I MIGHT BE USING THIS STORY TO TAKE A BREAK FROM CONSTANTLY WRITING POKEMON AND KAMEN RIDER/POWER RANGERS STORIES.
THEY'RE MY FAVORITE TO READ AND WRITE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HIT BURNOUT.
RECENTLY, I'VE BECOME A FAN OF THE MY HERO ACADEMIA ANIME AND AM CURRENTLY STARTING TO READ THE MANGA.
NOW, AS I WAS WATCHING AND READING, I COULDN'T HELP BUT FEEL IT WAS SIMILAR TO A VIDEO GAME I ABSOLUTELY LOVED AS A KID.
BREATH OF FIRE DRAGON QUARTER.
NOW SOME MAY NEVER HAVE HEARD OF BREATH OF FIRE, SO I'LL SAY THAT IT'S AN EXCELLENT RPG SERIES FROM CAPCOM OF ALL COMPANIES.
WHERE THE PROTAGONIST IS A DRAGON.
NOW FOR THIS, I AM GOING TO BE BREAKING A FEW TROPES OF SOME FANFICTIONS IVE SEEN.
1: THIS WILL BE A IZUKU YAGI STORY. HOWEVER! I WILL NOT DO THE USUAL HE DOESN'T GIVE IZUKU ONE FOR ALL BECAUSE HE'S TOO SCARED. I AM GETTING TIRED OF THAT, AND AM GOIJNG TO BE BUCKING THAT TREND.
2: THERE WILL BE AN IZUMI. HOWEVER! SHE WILL NOT BE GETTING ONE FOR ALL, NOR WILL SHE BE A BITCH. HER POWERS WILL BE MAGNETISM RELATED.
3: THERE WILL BE KATSUKI TWINS. HOWEVER! I WILL NOT BE DOING THE TROPE OF THEM BASICALLY BEING GENDER SWAPS OF EACH OTHER. KATSUMI WILL HAVE HER OWN QUIRK DIFFERENT FROM HER BROTHER'S, AND SHE WILL NOT BE BULLYING IZUKU NOR ATTRACTED TO HIM IN ANY WAY!
4: IZUOCHA STORY! I WILL BE TRYING TO GIVE THEM A BOND EARLIER THAN IN CANON, FEEL FREE TO TELL ME IF IT DOESN'T WORK.
5: THIS WILL BE A DARK STORY AT POINTS, GIVEN THE DRAGON QUARTER CONNECTION. NOTHING BLOODY OR GORY (AS BEST AS I CAN DO IT) BUT THOSE WONT BE POPPNG UP UNTIL A CERTAIN POINT.
6: NO SHOTO HAVING A TWIN SISTER. I CAN'T THINK OF A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK IN THIS CONTEXT.
7: INKO WILL BE HERSELF SLIGHTLY STARTING TO GET WEIGHT. YOULL SEE WHY WHEN I BEGIN THIS STORY PROPER.
NOW THEN, LOOK UP WHAT YOU CAN OF BREATH OF FIRE: DRAGON QUARTER, LEARN WHAT YOU CAN, AND LET'S START THE STORY AND GO BEYOND IT!
PLUS, ULTRA!
NOTE: I HAVE ONLY WATCHED UP TO THE USJ ARC OF THE ANIME AND HAVE PARTIALLY GOTTEN SPOILED ON THE ENDING. I WILL DO MY BEST TO STICK TO THE CANON OF THE ANIME, BUT I CAN'T GURANTEE ANYTHING OR HOW GOOD IT WILL BE, SO I ASK FOR SOME FORGIVNESS IF I GET SOMETHING WRONG.
It was a big day for the Yagi family.
"IZUKU! IZUMI! CALM DOWN NOW!" Their mother, Inko Yagi, demanded as they were told to sit in the seat.
"Can you blame them for being excited?" Their father, Toshinori Yagi, told her, as she sighed and used a small power of her Force Pull Quirk to retrieve the All Might toy Izuku had dropped.
"I know, but they don't need to take down the whole clinic for it!" She told her husband as they were now waiting for the results.
Then the personal doctor of the Yagi's came out.
"OK, first, we shall start with you Izumi." Izumi began to bounce up and down with excitement until Toshi put his hand on her shoulder and held her down.
"Your mother's Quirk was called Force Pull, right?" Inko nodded, as she had used that Quirk to pull people out of harm's way and cause chain reactions in old buildings to pin down villains.
"Well, your Quirk seems to be a variation of it." The family was looking excited at this.
"While it is not telekinesis, it does have to deal with magnets. You generate one of the poles from your hands and can change the polarity of an object and increase the strength of the magnetic attraction." The family beamed at this, and Izuku pulled his female twin into a hug.
"WOW, ZUZU! YOU GOT SUCH A COOL QUIRK!"
"Come on. Deku! I am sure your Quirk is going to trounce mine!"
"Now, now, you two. No need to go the good twin, evil twin route." Toshi calmed them down as Izuku clutched the All Might figure in his hands.
Toshi knew that Izuku wanted to become a hero like him.
He could see it in his eyes.
An unwavering sense of justice, refusing to abandon anyone to death, even an enemy.
If his Quirk could work well on his own, he may have already found his successor and he did not need to look far.
But the mood was quickly changed when the doctor frowned.
"That's something that I hoped would have been changed while this was happening." He then brought up an X-Ray of Izuku's left foot.
"When someone gets a Quirk, the earliest signs begin at 4 years old by showing that the left pinkie toe has one joint. Izuku … has the standard two." The family then stopped celebrating, as tears came to everyone's eyes.
"Please, tell me that this isn't true." Toshi begged, having checked with the previous holders of his Quirk.
And they confirmed that they had nothing to do with this.
They did not pull any genes; they didn't screw with Izuku at all.
"Izuku, I'm … afraid that … you're Quirkless." The doctor said as he left the room, to let the family stir in this.
The happiness they felt for Izumi's Quirk?
Gone.
Because they knew the discrimination that their father had to go through his life.
And now Izuku was too.
Inko broke down crying, apologizing repeatedly, like she somehow ruined Izuku's life.
"DEKU! I'M SORRY! I'M SO SORRY! I'M SORRY FOR STEALING YOUR QUIRK!" Izumi sobbed as she and their mother hugged him.
Toshi fell to his knees, as his tears hit the floor, internally screaming to Kami-Sama, asking why he would pull such a cruel prank on Izuku.
Izuku just sat there, staring at his X-Ray photo with tears streaming down his eyes.
Izumi had called him Deku.
Most would think that it was derivative of "DEKIRU" or Wooden doll.
Izumi used it as an abbreviation of "DETERMINED IZUKU" and always wanted them to become heroes together.
Now that dream might have been put in jeopardy.
THAT DAY, I LEARNED THAT NOT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.
THIS WAS THE REALITY I LEARNED ABOUT SOCIETY AT THE AGE OF 4.
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE AS HARD AS THE LESSON THE NEXT WEEK TAUGHT ME.
"Izuku! Could you do something for me?" Izuku ran downstairs the moment his mother called for him.
"We're out of pork and I need it for you and Izumi's favorite Katsudon noodles!" Inko told him as she handed him about five hundred yen to get the amount for the whole family.
"Is this for the D-Ratio test we're supposed to get today?" Izuku asked excitedly, as Inko nodded.
Izuku saluted as he ran out to the nearby grocery store and got the needed pork.
Sadly, he only got about a block back home, when he got pinned by an 8-year-old platinum blond boy, and his father.
"BOSCH! WHAT ARE YOU-" Izuku cried out before they put pressure on his neck, making him choke back his words.
"Getting you out of the neighborhood before you contaminate it, Quirkless Trash." Bosch told him as his father took the pork out of his hands.
"Oh, they will still be celebrating Izumi's D-Ratio, Izuku. But I'm afraid you won't be there." Izuku's eyes widened in terror.
"You see, your D-Ratio was determined to be 1/8192, I am afraid. I know Toshi will be upset, but I am sure the D-Ratio hero of 1/16 won't be bothered with you after we give them Izumi's favorite noodles and her D-Ratio test." With that, Bosch and his father kept Izuku's mouth covered as they went to a trash chute.
"Goodbye, Izuku. May the trash you land in be soft enough for you to survive. And I am sure your sister will become a great hero, getting your father's Quirk." Bosch's father told him as Bosch shoved him down, as Izuku screamed as the light disappeared.
"What is taking Izuku so long?" Inko asked as she paced around the kitchen.
Katsudon noodles were her son and daughter's favorite food.
He would not take this long, especially since the store was nearby.
A knock on the door took her attention away from that.
When she opened it, she was surprised to see her neighbors, Vexacion and his son Bosch, in the doorway.
"Good day, Inko. May we come in?" He politely asked …
As Inko immediately noted the change and the pork cuts she had asked Izuku to get.
She let them in, before discreetly texting her husband.
"Why are you here, Vexacion?" She asked, as Bosch tried talking with her daughter, only to also get the suspicious look.
"Why to celebrate the D-Ratio your daughter got." He answered, as Toshi then came down the stairs with the same look his family was giving him.
"Surely, Vexacion, you mean Izumi AND Izuku's Ratio?" He asked in suspicion, as Vexacion just looked annoyed at the mention of Izuku's name.
"Surely your daughter is your higher priority than that Quirkless tra-" Vexacion then suddenly found himself pinned to the floor by Inko.
"I sent Izuku out to get the pork I needed for both him and his sister! Why do YOU have the change and the pork!?" She angrily demanded as Izumi ran over to her mother.
"Because Izumi's D-Ratio is 1/64! Your D-Ratio is 1/32 and your husband's is D-Ratio 1/16! Your daughter's rank is the same as my son's!" He choked out as Toshi loomed over him.
"What did you do to Izuku, Vexacion?" He growled out, as Vexacion suddenly saw something he rarely saw on his face.
Rage.
"We-well, i…" He choked out before Inko released her hold on him …
And he got picked up by Toshi.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?"
"Hope Toshi takes the news well." Jezuit said, as he and his fellow Regents made their way to the Yagi household.
"And why would he not? His daughter got one of the highest known D-Ratios ever to be born with, minus Vexacion's son." Hortensia said, as she floated beside her compatriots.
"I don't think he's referring to Izumi, he's referring to Izuku." Cupid told her, as her expressionless face stared ahead.
"Ah, yes. Not a fate I would wish upon poor Izuku, but rules are rules I'm afraid. Still, he is deeply rooted as a family person, and he shall get-"
*CRRRAAASSSSSHHHH! *
Something made a huge hole in the front of the Yagi household, which was quite the mansion compared to them.
Minus their leader, or Deamond.
They rushed over, thinking either a Genic or Villain who knew who Toshi was had gotten in and had attacked his family.
Instead, they saw Toshi emerge out of the newly added hole in his house …
Without his signature smile …
And looking like he wanted to KILL whatever it was that was in front of him.
Looking at what had gotten thrown out, the three had a rare look of horror on their faces when they saw Vexacion on the ground …
With his dual arm rolled up to where they thought they should see bones poking out and wheezing as his chest looked super compressed.
They then saw Inko Force Pull Vexacion's son out, and slamming him into a light post, keeping him pinned there and Inko looking like she wanted to DISSECT him.
They looked back and forth, Cupid losing her expressionless face to one of sheer terror, while Hortensia had her eyes opened.
Jezuit began to back away, not because he was guilty of something, as he had no idea what Vexacion did …
But it was clear that the idiot had done SOMETHING for All Might to want to do this, and he did not want to be caught up accidentally with him.
"Vexacion …" The three said as they slowly backed away, as he looked at them pleadingly.
"What the goddamn hell did you DO?" They asked, as All Might turned his head slowly to glare at them.
"DID YOU PLAN ON THROWING MY SON DOWN THE TRASH AS WELL?" He growled out, as they then put the pieces together.
"GOD NO! I WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE THAT! I WOULD HAVE ENCOURAGED HIM TO BEAT THE SYSTEM, TOSHINORI!" Jezuit shouted in terror.
"I was planning to move him, but not through the trash! And making sure you could still contact him!" Hortensia shouted in terror, not wanting to get further on All Might's bad side.
"But his dreams could have led to his death, Toshinori! This might have been for the bet-"
"TEXAS SMASH!" He roared, as he punched Cupid in the stomach before she could finish …
As blood and spit came out of her mouth and she was sent flying into a wall.
All Might glared at Hortensia before he grabbed her head and began to slowly squeeze on it, her screaming in pain until he slammed her into the ground, leaving a crater of her shape in it.
He then looked at Jezuit and growled before walking away.
It might have been embarrassing to admit, but Jezuit felt lucky that all he got was himself pissing his pants when All Might did that and not getting his face caved in.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?" Two voices shouted as a man in battle armor and a patch over his right eye came running …
Alongside a man with white hair, horns like an ox, and his body looking like it was pulsing with energy through orange veins traveling up his body.
All Might glared at them, as they then saw the scene around him.
"Toshinori, what happened!? Did a Villain or Genic get-" The man then saw Inko holding Bosch against a light post, as Vexacion looked up at them, pleading for them to help him.
"Are you here to mock my son as well, Elyon?" Elyon, the white-haired man, looked around confused …
Until he realized a certain someone was nowhere to be found.
He then turned to Vexacion, with a look that terrified Vexacion even more than what All Might did.
"Vexacion, please tell me you didn't just TOSS IZUKU DOWN THE TRASH CHUTE!?" Elyon shouted in terror.
"His D-Ratio was too low for him to stay up here! I thought Toshi would have wanted to forget he had such a failure of a son-"
"DID YOU FORGET WHAT MY D-RATIO AND MY QUIRK STATUS WAS BEFORE I GOT ONE FOR ALL!?" All Might shouted, scaring everyone except his daughter, who was looking down at a trash chute with tears in her eyes.
Or his wife, who began to wrap up Bosch in the lamp post.
"Toshi, surely this isn't the-"
"TELL THEM WHAT IT WAS, ELYON! BEFORE I ASSUME YOU AND DEAMOND WERE IN ON IT!" Elyon backed up at that, realizing how far Toshi had lost it.
"It … it was D-Ratio 1/16,384." He said, as All Might picked up Vexacion by the scruff of his shirt.
"AND!?" He shouted as Elyon flinched.
"And you were Quirkless, just like your son, before your mentor deemed you worthy of One for All."
"And you thought I would have just gotten rid of him because of that?" He challenged Vexacion who was worried about him living for the next few minutes.
Toshi threw him to the ground as he then pulled out his phone, and he left his muscle form.
"What was your D-Ratio, Jezuit?" Jezuit looked nervous as he tried to keep himself from losing it any further.
"1/2046."
"Then that's who will get our protection." Everyone looked at them in terror.
"What do you mean!? Without you here, we will get more Villain and Genic attacks!" Toshi just scoffed as a moving company arrived.
"Better than being up here with idiots such as yourselves!" He told them as the movers packed and loaded all the furniture and belongings the family had.
"You tossed Izuku down that trash chute, meaning he either ended up in Sheldar or Musutafu. I care not." He told them as he and his family got on the rig.
"You treated my family disrespectfully, and now you lost your biggest asset." Elyon tried to make a compromise and keep Toshi there.
"Toshi, I cannot change the key card with your DNA. You must stay safe up here until a new-"
"Oh, I doubt I am going to die to a Genic or a Villain anytime soon, Elyon. And even then, there has not been a dragon sighting worth a damn since YOUR botched attempt." Elyon flinched badly at being reminded of his failure.
"But surely, your daughter would still make a fine-"
"I DON'T WANT ONE FOR ALL!" Izumi shouted, taking everyone by surprise.
"IF TAKING ONE FOR ALL WAS GOING TO RESULT IN THIS, THEN I AM BETTER OFF WITHOUT IT!" Everyone could only watch sadly as the Yagi family left, one of their best lines of defense and best friends, lost because of one arrogant idiot and Izuku's poorly dealt hand.
"I hope it was goddamn worth it, Vexacion." Deamond told him, as everyone just abandoned him and his son on the street.
"JEEZ! These Genic attacks are getting worse by the day." A young boy of about six told his commanding officer, who nodded.
"Indeed, but this is still the best place for beginners." She told him as she adjusted her glasses and looked at her data.
"Trash like this tends to bring the more slow and dulled sense ones here, since it can be good food for them." As such, she and her young student stood ready.
"So, let's give them a reason why they shouldn't be snooping around here." She drew her two blades out while her young student pulled his sword and shield off his back.
They had gotten about halfway through the junk, having sliced 6 Genic Brutes in half when they heard something.
"Master, do you hear … a child crying?" He asked her, as they investigated.
Among the trash, they discovered a green haired boy, no older than 4 years old.
And he was wailing, like something had been taken away from him.
"Hello there, young one. Is everything all right?" His master asked, though she clearly did not expect a good answer.
"Depends on your definition. If being cast out because you are Quirkless and having a D-Ratio of 1/8192 is a reason to save high society, then yes, everything is alright." The boy cried, and just stayed sitting there with his knees to his mouth.
A Genic tried to sneak up on them before his Master skewered him and he evaporated into dust.
"Did you lose your parents? What are their D-Ratios so we can find them." She asked, as he glared.
"My dad's D-Ratio is 1/16, while my mother's is 1/32." They both looked at each other, realizing what had happened.
"What is your name?"
"Izuku Yagi, though I doubt anyone would miss me, except maybe my family if they ever figure out where I am." He told them, as they then sighed.
"What was your dream?" The boy then threw a piece of junk at them, like that had been the wrong thing to bring up.
"MY DREAM WAS TO BECOME LIKE MY FATHER! A HERO WHO ANYONE COULD LOOK UP TO! TO MAKE EVERYONE SMILE! IS THAT SO WRONG TO HAVE DESPITE MY D-RATIO AND NO QUIRK!?" He screeched, as he then resumed crying.
"A noble dream, destroyed by ones who didn't care, and the ones he trusts he was pulled away from." Master said as she knelt to the boy.
"I am Captain Zeno, D-Ratio 1/128. I am the captain of the Rangers." He then stepped forward, looking at the child.
"I am Ryu, D-Ratio 1/8192." The boy looked up in surprise at Ryu.
"What? Why didn't you tell me your last names, and why is a 1/8192 with a 1/128?" They both looked at each other and sighed.
"For those whose D-Ratios are at least 1/4096 or below, your D-Ratio IS your last name." Ryu told him as Zeno then stepped forward.
"Some of us prefer to not use our last name due to traumatic events, and I am the Captain of the Rangers, and we welcome anyone in. Regardless of rank." The boy then stood up and walked over.
"Do you think … do you think I could become a hero despite these … drawbacks?" He hesitantly asked.
"I have seen some of my men become Heroes, yes. Being a Ranger means more than just taking on Villains. We protect the low Ds from the Genics since the defenses and Heroes of that rank aren't as good as the higher ones." Zeno said, as she inputted the data on her tablet.
"Now then, what is your name so I can start the process? And you are going to be my personal student alongside Ryu here." She said as the boy looked like someone had saved him.
"Izuku Yagi. Might change the name to Midoriya, my mother's birth name, but my D-Ratio is 1/8192." Zeno nodded and then looked at Ryu.
"He is going to be your little brother, Ryu. Make sure he is ready." Ryu nodded as Zeno, and he made one last sweep through the trash section before they left for the Ranger base.
THAT DAY, EVERYTHING I HAD WAS STRIPPED AWAY FROM ME.
MY FAMILY.
MY LIFE.
MY PURPOSE.
I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP IN THAT TRASH PILE IF MASTER AND ANIKI HADN'T SAVED ME.
I BECAME A RANGER THAT DAY, THINKING I COULD AT LEAST BECOME A HERO THAT WAY.
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WOULD COME FROM THAT.
HOW I BECAME THE GREATEST HERO THAT EVER LIVED.
CLIFFHANGER!
NOW THEN, THIS IS DEFINITLY SHORTER THAN MOST CHAPTERS I WRITE MOST OF THE TIME, BUT ITS STILL A NICE SETUP OF THINGS TO COME!
NOW TO THOSE WHO ARE WAITING FOR A NEW CHAPTER IN REVAMPED TIMELINE, AMOUR COLOSSEUM, MEGAFORMERS, OR POKÉRIDERS …
THOSE NEW CHAPTERS ARE ALMOST DONE, WORK HAS JUST BEEN MORE STRESSFUL THAN USUAL.
I ALSO ALMOST HAVE THE NEXT CHAPTER OF THE LONG HIATUS STORY DRAGON RANGERS TIME FORCE ALMOST DONE, SO GET EXCITED FOR THE MASSIVE CHAPTER DUMP, FOLKS!
I ALSO AM WRITING MY FIRST THREE WAY CROSSOVER STORY OF MHA, POKÉMON, AND ANOTHER OBSCURE GAME SERIES I LIKED THAT I WANT TO SHOW MORE LOVE IN!
TILL THEN FOLKS, READ MY OTHER STORIES, AND REVIEW!
I ALWAYS READ THEM!
THEN GO BEYOND!
PLUS, ULTRA!
