Chapter 2- 1 Prevailed and 1 failed

29 May / 6:35 Am

Today marked the 2nd day since the incident, now called by various names but one thing was in the centre. . .Deku.

At this moment one of the protagonists of worldwide news stood behind the curtain his ears hearing the raindrops, the horns of cars and voices... far too many for him to understand any, he carefully opened a small gap in the curtain just enough to let his eye see outside.

His light green eyes turned light yellow, with a red dot in centre of his iris.

Several colourful tents lays outside the barricades of police were carefully placed such that another trespasser wouldn't get in.

"How's it like to be famous, eh?"

'you would have said something like that. . .right?' Deku silently gazed at the dark clouds, it hadn't stopped raining since, It was light but gloomy. . . especially for him.

The rain has become his symbol of failure, his weakness and a constant reminder of loss. . . loss of a loved one, yet it weirdly made him calm.

The sun although faint, still peeking through the grey clouds even as the rain fell ever so slightly.

'At least the police are helping with our supplies' he watched a small crowd of people standing in the rain wearing yellow and orange raincoats some with quirks others ready with their cameras, his eyes capturing even the tiniest details from their faces.

He shook his head as it started pulsing with pain, returning his eyes to normal dark green colour.

'Still not used to it'

'it must be a pain for others too' he thought with a sunken smile, although the neighbours were kind enough to not complain and show their sympathy in their own words through the media.

"Hehe you know what all of them said" 

"He was a kind boy. . . I wonder what led to this madness. . . ya. . ." he said with a defeated smile "And the world will always wonder, for what kind of madman would go to such length. . . to help someone quirkle-. . . useless like me"

His mind played all the memories of his. . . his brother since the time they met, their happy moments and their sad ones too, one thing was common in all, they were together in both and now. . .he stood alone.

Deku scratches his head while looking and holds an old photo of him and Jin in kindergarten playing hero and villain him being All Might and Jin wearing a dragon costume.

"Ho-how much more will you do for me. . ." he looked at the golden envelope sticking out from a giant dusty brown sketchbook, with heavy bold golden words written on it Monster hunter.

"I don't want anything. . . I just want to you. . . home" his voice tired as he gently wiped the dust from the glass of the frame.

'Sometimes we never appreciate how precious some things were until we don't and can't anymore.' even then it was a rainy day with thunder roaming in the sky painting it with gloom and death.

There weren't many friends of the Asano family, his father had abandoned them knowing Jin was quirkless in his early life while his mother died. . .in the accident.

'Another reason for the why. . . the list goes on. . . until his smile also worn off'

He remembered seeing the sadness in Jin's eyes his face tired from the years of smiling, all there was left was a cold slab bearing the burden society made for the less fortunate.

Tip 

Before he knew tears slid down on the glass.

'Just like 4 years ago I didn't understand it then. . . I didn't want to. . .and now I do.'

"It feels like a limb of yours is lost"

Knock! Knock!

He raised his eyebrow as he looked toward the door.

"Izuku" his mother called from behind, her eyes slightly red from all the crying jin was her second son, after his mother passed he mostly stayed here in their house, his was more like their video game parlour for them.

She slowly wrapped her arms around him knowing full well how much hurt her son was, even though he had grown a few centimetres tall, she knew how much he cried when he came, with his dress torn and 3 scars etched on his chest to her horror he told what jin did. . . and why he did.

As a mother she was beyond devastated when she heard what had happened... but she still couldn't believe what Deku told her she didn't wanted to believe it, but the golden letter was something she couldn't argue with and only blamed herself.

Knock Knock!

"Hello. . . this is Naomasa Tsukauchi"

"It's fine Mom im ok" he said with an ugly smile trying to copy his friend.

"Y-you can take your time dear there is no rush."

"There is no point in delaying them... we have to answer someday."

'There will always be sun... through the night through the dark. . . you just have to be brave enough to face them first.'

'Yes if not today then tomorrow I have to face reality'

'I am not the useless Deku now...not anymore'

He was beyond tired, rather devastated he didn't know how but he walked somehow to the front door bloodied and all his mother called the ambulance but by the time the reporter had already got the smell of the situation blocking their route, it took some time for police to come.

"I'll be there in a few minutes. . . let me fresh up"

". . .Please take your time sorry for the disturbance" The detective slowly walked away his footsteps echoing in his ears.

"I'll go talk to them first izuku" he simply nodded his head lost in thought

Hearing was the easiest for him to control for some reason, it was more natural maybe something to do with his quiet personality.

He never wanted to experiment with the smell sensors again.

He threw his shirt 3 distinct claw scars more like holes remained on his chest.

The doctors arrived late way too late to save someone for his calibre of injury but they were shocked to find his wound healing itself, they gave him some supplements and took some samples of his blood.

His body a little more toned, although still skinny but much better than before, his dark spots had also vanished, his face had a healthy glow his hair remained the same.

He walked into his room checking which clothes to wear, his clothes were a little too tight for him now.

At the corner of the room lay a simple black shirt and silver loose pants.

'His regular combo'

in the shower, the cold water hit his face reminding of his constant failure as how his friend had made a whole plot just to make him seem like a hero... a hero he wanted yet never deserved.

"You don't need to thank me for the recommendation letter, UA will probably take their sweet time in sending one though hehe" 

'What would you do in this situation Jin. . .what would you do'

_______________________________

A day after we met All might.

Jin had made me skip school today and said he wanted to train and get some steam off, I was sad but. . . it was not as bad, jin still believed they would be great heroes.

"Hey Jin i have a question, why do you think so many heroes die and get hurt and villains just keep popping up even though there is All Might"

"Haaaa" he pushed the washing machine his breath uneven, steam blowing from his mouth.

"Huff water" Deku gave him the bottle from his bag.

"Thanks and that's 2 questions" he snatched the bottle and drank the whole thing.

"HEY wait don't drink the whole thing!"

"Hehe should have told earlier Kid hehe, as for your question" his eyes turned serious and deku knew what was about to come.

"He who knows his enemy shall win 1000 battles and he who fuck around shall be buried in the ground"

"Ahhh would you cut that out already What are you? Sun Tzu or something."

┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

"They call me wise old man for reason though"

(￢_￢;)

"More like Middle school Philosopher"

"High school now"

"... if they pass you. . .you think they will" Deku asked with concern

"Ahaha(￣▽￣)╭

"Well you see I got in a little fight with the teacher so who knows"

(눈_눈)

 "AGAIN?? . . . that not all is it"

(//=_ =//) 

"Ah ha ha w-well i-i I just bashed him a L-little, didn't think he would faint so easily the teacher last year took it like a champ"

٩(╬ʘ益ʘ╬)۶

"FUCKINGGGGG HELLL JIN! YOU'RE GONNA FAIL FOR THE 3RD TIMEEEEE, YOU SHOULD ALREADY BE IN HIGH SCHOOL 2ND YEAR"

"Nahh I got things covered" 

Σ(O_O)

"NANIIII??? DID YOU BRIBE THE TEACHER OR SOMETHING"

<(￣︶￣) > Exactly!

"WHAT THE.... how much did you give"

"Hmm just some present to the teacher's wife... it's gonna be alright"

( : - ‸ - : )

"Wait if she doesn't." Deku asked with concern as Jin has already failed 2 times always picking fights with the teacher, even without quirk he was still strong.

"hehehehe Ohhh she is she surely will hahahhahah" his face twisted as he saw jin rubbing his hand.

"I just wanted to hear your analysis ."

"Well, either way, a hero will always be at a disadvantage, after all how can you win if all you do is react. . .not everyone is All might, the villain already knows about you, your strength weakness and such, as for 2nd question. . . it's more like a skill issue, same for villains, they aren't trained or just some deep flaw in them, we will be very dangerous villains if choose to be though"

He looks back at Deku this time serious for real "No matter what Deku...promise me you will never become a villain...no matter how bad the situation."

"Wow wow where did that come from, i-i am just too weak to be anything... dangerous"

He shakes his head in disapproval "If only you knew how dangerous you are deku, we see what others don't, we excel where they can't no more"

____________________

"...analysis, the way he planned the whole thing from beginning to the end... to the point is scary...even the aftermath i have a long way to go" Deku sucked in a cold breath, the golden envelope was not only was the will of Jin, but it also had many pieces of advice and his SD card for situation analysis and some books he wrote in past.

He grabbed the shirt and pants putting them on in haste.

Checking himself in the mirror he looked a little bigger than earlier clothes jin's clothes were now a total fit for him.

He stared at himself in the mirror trying to look as emotionless as possible. 'All might won't last much longer and when the pillar falls the house comes crashing down,dark days are ahead of us, take every advantage you can to rise faster, the earlier the better.'

"court attention and make other people come to you"

"And how i do that" he began thinking a plan while roaming in the living room when a sudden bold idea emerged in his brain.

"That...ya that would do both...I need to prepare some script first" he rushed toward his room found a pen and a paper on his desk and started writing something.

5 minutes later.

Deku opened the window rain blowing in with the cold breeze.

Standing on the balcony of the apartment, on the 5th floor of the building, highest available, they had to shift up because the reporter tried to break in couple of times.

"Phew" his hands on the railing his mind arcing with the mad plan.

'Haha, this is one horrible plan. . . I would have never tried this in past but things are different now, i-i-i have to take every advantage i can, even if it more like Jin than me, but it never hurts to act like him... excluding beating teachers, smoking and drinking too'

"Here goes nothing"

He tightened his grip and looked back one last time making sure his mother didn't see him.

His finger started to morph into black scally claws, a thin red membrane growing between his fingers, the back of his forearm was covered in cold black scale with wave-like patterns, while the other part was slightly yellow with thin light scales, a single sharp spike came out from his elbows.

His hair turned black with black fur growing from his neck to the back making his back look bigger and buffier, his feet also transformed like his hands, with only difference being the black fur on his calves.

He bends his knee in anticipation adrenaline rushing in.

"Hoff... half just half, no more no less"

He grinds his teeth hands on knee ready for the launch.

"1. . 2 . .three laun-?"

"IZUKU?"

-

BOOOM!

-

"MOMMMMM!" He screamed as he dumped all the power in his muscles suddenly relaxed his muscles, The floor beneath cracked, the window shattered and dust rose in his appartment.

-

SWOSHHHHH!

"IZUKUUUUUU!" his mother screamed in horror as she saw her son flying in the sky the voice clear enough to alert the police and reporter who started to ruffle out of their tents.

"NONNONON I AM GONNA DIE I AM GONNA DIE"

"HUMAN... STUPID! STUPID HUMAN! WINGS... WINGS! FLAP! FLAAAAPPP!" Deku heard a low feral hissing-like sound different than the low mockery-filled growl he thought he heard when jin pierced his chest.

"Y-YOU CAN TALK"

〣( ºΔº )〣

"FUCKINGGGG FLAPPP HUMAN WE DIE DIE DIE WE DIEEEE"

"I DON'T HAVE WINGSSSS!"

(°ロ°) !

"MOTHER FUUKAAAAA"

(ﾉಥ益ಥ)ﾉ

As Deku screamed up in the sky, twice the distance of his apartment yet he still continued to higher, his scream was more like a roar as the reporter frantically started to clicking photos, not knowing what would happen next.

Another being was more if not equally scared as him.

"CHANGE HUMAN CHANGE!"

"WHA- I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" at this time they had crossed the dark sky going even higher than the clouds, Deku tried to move his legs but he couldn't feel them, while he kept moving higher and higher

'This doesn't obey the laws of physics!'

'We are light creatures HUMANN STUPIDDD!'

'Sun is not shiny good, switch me fast human stupid '

"HOWWW"

"CALLL MEEE"

"ahhh who are you?"

"FUCKKKKKK YOUUUUU! GKHKJHHKHKU!" the creature started cursing Deku's ancestor in his own language

Their acceleration stopped and they started falling down piercing the clouds again.

'Black fur black scale doesn't like sun OHH I GOT IT' deku ran his mind fast remembering the hunter of light from jins sketchbook.

-

NARGACUGAAAAAA!

-

Rumble!

-

Just like the last time a thunder rose, green in colour compared to the last one yellowish blue. It connected through the sky and ground.

-

BOOM!

They fell to the ground, covering the entire area with dust

-

KHREEEEEHHHH!

before the reporters and police could handle themselves a high screech rushed in their ears drums.

Most lost balance and fell on their butt as their vision was hazy and ear ringing up, inside the dust they could see a large shadow with thunder yellow eyes and long red eyelids marking them.

few stood frozen on their spot while some police officers reached for their guns.

"Well. . . let's start the interview, shall we"

As the dust started to clear he saw the now half-monster form of Deku with the only difference being his eyes which were full yellow like a real nargacuga and some of his furs turned little silver on the back

Oh and not to mention the Nargacuga who has taken control of his body.

He walks slowly while flashing his devil-like grin his sharp teeth on the display of the world.

7:10 a.m. Japan.
