More than a year had passed since I was taken—since I was dragged into this hellish nightmare. Time had become meaningless, a blurred haze of agony and despair, punctuated only by the experiments that twisted my body and mind beyond recognition. I wasn't even sure if I was still human. Whatever spark of life, whatever sense of self I had left, was hanging by a thread.
The person I used to be—Izuku Midoriya—was nothing more than a distant memory, a ghost haunting the hollow shell I had become. I was a zombie, a walking corpse, moving through the motions of existence with no purpose other than to endure. My mind was barely holding together, fraying at the edges as the relentless torture chipped away at my sanity.
Today was different, though. Today, I was strapped down tighter than usual, my wrists and ankles bound so securely that I could barely move. My heart pounded in my chest, fear coiling in my stomach like a serpent ready to strike. I didn't know what they had planned, but I knew it was going to be bad.
And then he walked in—the man responsible for all of this, the architect of my suffering—Dr. Kuroki. His cold, calculating eyes swept over me, a twisted smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"Subject 13," he said, his voice dripping with false warmth,
Dr kuroki:we've made a lot of memories together, haven't we? So much progress...so much pain.
He chuckled, the sound sending a chill down my spine.
Dr kuroki:But today...today marks the beginning of the main experiment.
My mind raced, trying to process his words. The main experiment? What did he mean by that? What could possibly be worse than everything I'd already been through?
Kuroki stepped closer, his eyes gleaming with a sick excitement.
Dr kuroki:You see, in order to create the ultimate weapon, to kill the Symbol of Peace...my master, All For One, gave me an idea. Why settle for the quirks we already know, the powers we've already seen? Why not create something new? Something...superior.
He threw his head back and laughed, the sound echoing through the sterile, cold room.
Dr kuroki:Why not create...the One Above All?
The name sent a jolt of fear through me, deeper than anything I'd felt before. The One Above All...what the hell was he talking about?
Kuroki's eyes were wild, his grin manic as he continued.
After nearly twenty years of research twenty years of trials and errors, of failures and breakthroughs I finally did it. I managed to create a unique quirk. A gene crafted and created by splicing the cells of the most powerful quirks, evolving them, perfecting them, to create...a supreme one."
My breath caught in my throat. A supreme quirk? No...it couldn't be possible. The idea itself was insane, but then again, so was everything else about this place.
Kuroki paced back and forth, his excitement growing with every word.
Dr kuroki:But there was a problem. A quirk this powerful...the human body wasn't designed to handle it. Every subject I tested it on...died. Their bodies couldn't take the strain, the sheer power of the One Above All. They all...shattered.
My heart was pounding in my ears now, fear turning my blood to ice. I could barely comprehend what he was saying, but the implications were terrifying.
Dr kuroki:But I didn't give up
Kuroki said, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.
Dr kuroki:I created a sequence of experiments brutal, yes, but necessary to force the growth and development of the human body. To push it beyond its limits, to create a...let's say...a vessel that could adapt.
He leaned in closer, his eyes locking onto mine.
Dr kuroki:But even then...they died. Every single one of them. The power was too much, even for those with quirks.
He paused, letting his words sink in, before a dark, twisted smile spread across his face.
Dr kuroki:And that's when it hit me...the theory that changed everything. They all had quirks. Their bodies were already attuned to specific powers, and that's what killed them. But what if...what if I tried it on someone...quirkless?
My stomach dropped as the realization hit me like a freight train. They had targeted me because I was quirkless. That was the reason. That was why I was here, why I had been put through this hell. Not because of who I was, not because of my potential, but because I was born without a quirk. Because I was...Inferno's son.
Kuroki smile widened as he saw the understanding dawn on my face.
Dr kuroki:yes, that's right. You, Izuku Midoriya, were chosen because you were quirkless. Because your body was a blank canvas, ready to be shaped and molded into the ultimate weapon. Ready to inherit...the One Above All.
"No..." The word slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it, a weak, desperate denial. But it was too late. Kurokiri wasn't listening. He was already too far gone, lost in his mad vision of power and destruction.
"It's time," he said, his voice filled with a twisted glee.
Dr kuroki:Time for you to inherit it. To become the One Above All...and kill All Might.
He pressed a button on the console next to me, and the pod I was trapped in began to move. It extended upwards, the restraints tightening around my limbs as it locked into place. A hissing sound filled the room as the pod began to fill with a thick, viscous fluid, cold and suffocating. I could feel it seeping into my skin, burning its way through my body.
And then I saw it the machine that would change everything. A massive, hulking device, with a glass tube at its center, filled with a glowing liquid. The One Above All. The culmination of all my suffering, all my pain, all the horror that I had endured.
Kurokiri stood back, watching with wide, eager eyes as the machine whirred to life.
Dr kuroki:Super strength...super speed...reflexes...and energy manipulation
he muttered, almost to himself.
Dr kuroki:Invulnerability...and the unique ability to adapt. The perfect being. The ultimate weapon.
I wanted to scream, to cry out, but my voice was gone. I could only watch in helpless terror as the machine moved into position, the glass tube aligning with the pod that held me.
Dr kuroki:this is it, Izuku
Kuroki said, his voice filled with an unholy reverence.
Dr kuroki:This is the moment you become...the One Above All.
With a final, triumphant laugh, he pressed the button, and the machine jammed into the pod, injecting the glowing liquid into my veins.
The pain was instantaneous, a white-hot fire that ripped through my body, tearing me apart from the inside out. It was like nothing I had ever felt before, not even in the worst of their experiments. This was something different—something beyond pain, beyond agony.
It was like my very DNA was being unraveled, torn apart and rewritten in an instant. I could feel my cells burning, twisting, evolving into something new, something terrifying. My bones felt like they were shattering and rebuilding themselves over and over again. My muscles stretched and tore, only to knit back together stronger, denser.
I was screaming, my mind drowning in a sea of agony, but there was no escape. The pain was endless, relentless, pushing me to the brink of madness.
But beneath the pain, beneath the fire consuming my body, I could feel something else. Something dark and powerful, something that was taking root deep within me, growing stronger with every passing second.
It was the One Above All.
And it was killing me.
My vision blurred, my thoughts scattering as the pain reached a crescendo. I could feel myself slipping away, my mind cracking under the strain. I was losing myself, losing everything that made me who I was.
And then...there was nothing.
No pain. No fear. No Izuku Midoriya.
Just...darkness.
And in that darkness, I felt it—an overwhelming power, surging through me, filling every cell, every fiber of my being. It was terrifying and exhilarating, like I was standing on the edge of an abyss, staring into the void.
And the void was staring back.
I wasn't Izuku Midoriya anymore. I wasn't a boy with dreams of being a hero. I wasn't even human.
I was something else. Something more.
Something...beyond.
The One Above All.
And as the darkness swallowed me whole, I knew one thing with absolute certainty:
I was truly becoming a weapon,
As the pod finally released me, I stumbled forward, gasping for air. My body felt different stronger, faster, almost alien. I looked down at myself, barely recognizing the figure I saw. My skin was taut, muscles rippling beneath the surface with an unnatural power. Dark green energy crackled around me, sparking off my body like living lightning, the sheer force of the One Above All coursing through my veins.
But even as the energy surged, the pain still lingered, a reminder of the nightmare I had just endured. I could feel it in every fiber of my being, like my entire existence had been rewired, transformed into something else something monstrous.
I was no longer the quirkless boy who dreamed of being a hero. That part of me was gone, buried under the weight of this new power. The One Above All...it wasn't just a quirk. It was something far more terrifying, something that felt like it was too much for any one person to control.
My vision blurred as I took a step forward, every movement radiating power I didn't know how to contain. Dr. Kurokiri stood in front of me, a twisted smile on his face, his eyes gleaming with triumph. He had done it he had created his ultimate weapon.
But the thing about creating weapons...they tend to turn on their creators.
A surge of rage tore through me as I realized what he had done. Everything he'd put me through, all the pain and suffering, all the experiments, had led to this. He had turned me into a monster, and he was proud of it.
No...no more.
Without thinking, I lunged at him, my fist crackling with the dark energy of the One Above All. I was going to kill him. I was going to tear him apart, just like he had done to me. He would pay for everything, for every moment of agony, for every twisted experiment.
But then, just as suddenly as I had moved, I crumpled to the ground. My body felt like it had been drained of all its strength, my limbs refusing to obey me. The power that had been raging through me just moments ago seemed to vanish, leaving me weak and trembling on the cold floor.
Izuku:What's...going on...?
I gasped, struggling to push myself up, but it was like my body was made of lead.
Izuku:Why...can't I move?
Kuroki's laughter echoed through the room, cold and cruel. He stepped closer, looking down at me with an expression of mock pity.
Dr Kuroki:Oh, my dear Subject 13...did you really think it would be that easy? Did you really think you could beat me?
He crouched down beside me, his face twisted into a grin.
Dr kuroki:You see, while we were giving you those pills those lovely, little pills you grew so fond of we weren't just enhancing your body. No, no...we were doing something far more interesting.
My heart sank as his words began to sink in, the truth dawning on me like a cold, dark shadow.
Dr kuroki:Mind control elixirs
Kuroki said, his voice dripping with satisfaction.
Dr kuroki:Mixed with those pills, in extremely small doses, of course. But you...you've taken more than a hundred, maybe even close to a thousand by now, haven't you?
"No..." I whispered, horror flooding through me.
Izuku:No, that's not possible...
Kuroki's grin widened, and he leaned in closer, his breath hot on my face.
Dr kuroki:Oh, it's very possible. You see, Izuku, you've been under my control for a long time now. Every time you took those pills, you were surrendering more and more of your will to me. And now...now you're completely mine.
He stood up, looking down at me with a mixture of glee and disdain.
Dr kuroki:You really thought you could kill me, didn't you? You really thought you could escape. But you're just a puppet, Izuku. My puppet. And now, it's time for you to dance.
I wanted to scream, to cry out, but my voice was gone. All I could do was lie there, helpless, as the realization sank in. I wasn't just a weapon I was a slave. A puppet on strings, controlled by the very man who had created this nightmare.
Kuroki walked over to a nearby console, his fingers flying over the keys as he brought up a series of screens.
Dr kuroki:Now then
He said, his tone shifting to one of cold detachment
Dr kuroki:we've got a lot of work to do. The One Above All is still new to you, still raw and untamed. But don't worry...we're going to fix that.
He turned back to me, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure.
Dr kuroki:You see, Izuku, now that you've got this power, we're going to train you. We're going to push you to your absolute limits break you down, build you up, over and over again until you can control it perfectly. Until you can wield the One Above All like it's an extension of yourself. And by the time we're done...you'll be the ultimate weapon.
"No..." I managed to croak out, my voice barely a whisper.
Izuku:I won't...I won't do it...
Kuroki's smile didn't waver.
Dr kuroki:Oh, you will. You will, because you don't have a choice. You'll do whatever I tell you to do, and you'll do it gladly. Because if you don't...well, let's just say that those little pills you're so addicted to won't be so easy to come by anymore.
My heart sank even further. He had me completely, utterly trapped. I was at his mercy, and he knew it. The thought of going without those pills, of facing the withdrawal, was too much to bear. I was already addicted, already dependent on them to function. And he knew it.
Kuroki pressed another button on the console, and the restraints that had held me down suddenly released. My body slumped to the floor, weak and trembling, but free. For a moment, I thought maybe I could still fight, still resist...but the moment I tried to move, the same paralysis overtook me.
Dr kuroki:There we go
Kuroki said, satisfied. "Now, get up."
I tried to resist, tried to fight against the command, but my body moved on its own. Slowly, painfully, I pushed myself up to my feet, every movement stiff and unnatural. I was no longer in control. My body belonged to him now.
Kuroki watched with a pleased expression as I stood there, swaying slightly, the dark green energy still crackling faintly around me.
Dr kuroki:You're going to be magnificent, Izuku. The One Above All...the perfect being. And soon...soon, you'll be ready.
He walked up to me, reaching out to tap a finger against my chest.
Dr kuroki:But first...we need to make sure you're prepared. And that means training. Brutal, relentless training. We're going to test every aspect of your new abilities—your strength, your speed, your reflexes. We're going to push you until you break, and then we're going to push you even further.
He stepped back, his grin widening.
Dr kuroki:and the best part? You're going to love it. Because every time you push past your limits, every time you grow stronger, you'll get another dose of those lovely, lovely pills. Just enough to keep you going...just enough to keep you hooked.
My body shuddered at the thought, the craving already gnawing at the edges of my mind. I hated it I hated myself for it but I couldn't stop it. I needed those pills. I needed them more than anything.
Kuroki turned away, motioning for one of the guards to step forward.
Dr kuroki:Take him to the training room
he ordered.
Dr kuroki:And make sure he gets the full experience. No holding back.
The guard nodded, grabbing me roughly by the arm and dragging me toward the door. My legs moved on their own, following the command, even as my mind screamed at me to stop, to fight back. But it was no use. I was a puppet now, dancing to Kurokiri's twisted tune.
As we left the room, Dr kuroki voice echoed after me, cold and triumphant.
Dr kuroki:Welcome to your new life, Izuku. The life of the One Above All. The life of the perfect weapon.
And as the door closed behind me, sealing me into my new reality, I realized with a sickening certainty that he was right.
This was my life now. A life of pain, of suffering, of endless torment.
A life where I was nothing more than a tool, a slave to the power I never wanted.
And there was no escape.
Ok so I just wanted to ask
What did you all think about the mha manga ending
I was completely disappointed
Izuku becoming quirkless
And especially class 1a leaving him like that
I would have preferred if izuku lost his life facing shigaraki and his just reminiscing about how he became the greatest hero of all time before he died
That's just my own thoughts I would like to hear about yours
