Izuku has been having a bad day, or at least the moderately good day he had been having turned into a bad day.
Yes he had managed to catch multiple heroes in action, even got to see a debut of a new hero Mt.Lady. But then he had to head to school. And every day he has to spend there is a bad day.
It first started off by the teacher telling everyone that he was planning on going to UA high school, which had the reaction of making the class laugh, both at him and at the absurdity that a quirkless person would even be allowed in such a school.
But it also served to make one person angry, very very angry. Katsuki Bakugo was his childhood friend, and later on his bully when he had not developed a quirk like all the others in their year. Yet Izuku to this day still thought of the brash blonde as his best friend.
Alas it was not meant to be-
"You wanna be a hero so bad? I've got a time saving idea for you. If you think you'll have a Quirk in your next life… Go take a swan dive off the roof!" the blond sneered, his lackeys laughing at the joke the blond told, as if such a thing was meant to be taken as nothing but a joke.
'how can you claim to want to be the greatest hero and say things like that?!' Izuku raged inwardly but couldn't bring himself to respond especially with those explosions coming threateningly from Katsuki's palms-
'who the hell says shit like that and laughs?! Who the hell do you think you are!!!' a voice within Izuku's head raged, surprising him out of his fear
"what you got something to say Deku?" the blond sneered, mini explosions crackling in his palms
"n-no kach-" 'PUNCH HIM IN THE FUCKING TEETH!' without warning the greenet's fist flew and cracked the blond in the teeth, the action surprising him so much that he dropped on the ground, bleeding from his ,now, cracked lips.
Izuku with his fist still outstretched, was ones again frozen, but this time not out of fear but bewilderment,
what had he done? Was the question going through his head, until
'stop standing there and RUN'
The unknown voice yelled once more and Izuku obeyed, grabbing his bag and running out of the classroom,
"DEKU!!!" as a might yell was heard from within.
Yet Izuku Midoriya did not stop, he could not stop, for if he did. He was aware what type of hell he would have to suffer for his actions.
He ran and ran, grabbing his nearly destroyed notebook on his way out of the school, and he continued running until he was out of breath and nearly vomiting. Leaning onto the walls of the underpass he has found himself in, Izuku was gulping down breath after breath of fresh air.
As he was resting, he can't help but think back to the event that lead him here.
'I punched Kacchan! I, the quikless Deku, punched Kacchan! He's going to kill me!!!' he couldn't help but lament the future he had lost for standing up for himself, even considered going back so he doesn't have to face his loving mother as the delinquent he had become, and let the blond take out his anger on him.
'that has got to be the stupidest shit I have ever heard, the little bastard came out easy, a punch to the teeth was least he deserved for the shit he said' the voice in his head said, but Izuku didn't even bother to question the origin of that voice
'No, Kacchan is a hero, will be a great hero. I can't go around punching heroes, tha-that is not very heroic!'
Instead he decided to argue with the voice in his head.
'Hero? Hero?! That kid is nothing but a bully, a villain! No Hero would ever, EVER, tell people to kill themselves!'
'he was joking! H-He must have been joking! He didn't mean what he said… he wouldn't.'
'I don't know how to tell you this kid, but that was pathetic, you are pathetic if you truly believe that excuse.'
It was at this moment that a manhole cover was thrown away and some sort of gelatinous substance seemingly made from sludge started leaking out of the sewers at great speeds.
Startled, Izuku stumbled away from the wall he was leaning on.
"hoho, a medium sized disguise! This would surely be useful to escape that monster!" the sentient sludge gurgled as a humanoid mouth and eyes appeared on its surface.
The sludge reeled back and prepared to attack the frozen middle schooler-
'DUCK!'
The voice shouted in Izuku's head and his body immediately obeyed, the shout awakening him from his stupor.
The sludge, now obviously a villain, launched multiple sludge tentacles at where Izuku's torso was, barely missing him.
"hoh you are a feisty one! I'm glad. Don't worry kid, I'll make good use of your talents" the sludge villain commented as Izuku dodged more and more attacks from him as the voice in his head kept shouting at him to 'Jump! -back step! -Duck!'
but there was only so much a freshly out of breath and physically unfit 14 year old could accomplish, no matter how early he got the warnings.
One tentacle eventually latched onto his calf and he was dragged onto the ground, a few other tentacles were still dodged by rolling away as the voice in his head told him, but the tentacle on his leg continued to grow and soon cover his whole lower body.
"Enough! You've already wasted too much time, stop struggling and I promise to make this quick!" the sludge villain yelled and begun covering more of Izuku's body with sludge, reaching towards his face
Until something bright yellow and very loud, jumped out of the sewer.
"It's all right now, for I AM HERE!" the now revealed number one hero yelled as he pulled back his fist
Izuku couldn't believe his eyes, it was All Might! He was being saved by All Might, the worlds greatest hero!
Izuku was so enchanted by the sight that he stopped struggling altogether, even as the voice in his head yelled for him to 'don't stop moving! COME ON!! DON'T STOP!!' but it was not necessary-
"CAROLINA SMASH!" with a mighty yell, All Might blasted away the sludge villain, splattering him across the underpass. Izuku could barely stop himself from following the villain's footsteps by holding onto the ground, yet even that didn't stop him from being amazed by witnessing All Mights true power in real life.
"HAHAHA! Thank you young man for distracting him while I was finding my way around the sewers! You are a true hero!" standing up, Izuku was subjected to the number one hero's boisterous praise. He couldn't believe his ears, the All Might had called him a Hero!!!
"N-no sir All Might sir! Yu-you are the real hero! You saved me sir, I don't know what I would've done i-if you hadn't arrived!" stuttering, Izuku blushed at the sudden praise. Still not wanting to believe his ears, how could merely jumping around warrant his greatest hero to answer his unasked question that has been haunting him all his life.
"HAHA! Humble one aren't you, No young man don't sell yourself short! Here!" with that all might shoved a bottle of soda near Izuku's face, still stunned, the young man grabbed the bottle with a bow and drank to calm his still hammering heart.
Passing the bottle back to All Might, he dumped out the rest of the soda and filled it up with the squirming remains of the sludge villain.
"Now young hero! I must be off, Justice waits for no man! (an: huzzah!)" With that, he crouched and leaped away above the skyline.
Still amazed the young man watched his childhood idol disappear into the concrete jungle, off to save another hapless civilian. It wasn't until moment later that he remembered one thing-
"AAH! I FORGOT TO ASK HIM FOR AN AUTOGRAPH!!" a distressed shout emanated from the underpass by a young green haired boy still covered in bits of sewage.
Snort
Hearing the sound, the distressed teen immediately turned around expecting to have been seen by someone as he was lamenting his forgetfulness, yet there was no one there
'you sure have your priorities straight.' Again, the same voice was heard but Izuku couldn't find anyone around him while looking around the underpass.
This caused him to look down at the remaining sludge around him with dread alighting within his gut-
'Chill out, the villain has been taken care of.' And again the voice spoke, the dread continued to rise
"wh-where are you, show-w yours-s-self!" with false bravado, Izuku yelled out into the surrounding area
'relax kid, I'm not going to hurt you' yet the voice spoke, not from far away, but from close, real close… almost as if it was inside his own head-
'took you this long to realize it?'
"AAAAAH! Get out of my head!!! HELP! HELP! ALL MIGHT THE SLUDGE VILLAIN IS INSIDE MY HEAD!!!" panicking, Izuku clutched his head and yelled out to where All Might disappeared off to, but no help came
'Jeez kid calm down! I'm not the sludge villain!' the voice in Izuku's head appeared to already tire of Izuku's panic
"you aren't the sludge villain?-" 'no.' "-oh man! I got attacked by TWO different body snatching villains in the same day?!"
'for crying out loud! I'M NOT A VILLAIN!' "You're not?-" 'no!'
"Then if you are not a villain, are you a hero or a vigilante who used their quirk on me?"
'No kid, I, nor my presence in your mind is not the work of an enemy stand cough someone's quirk'
"then… " with that, Izuku began thinking about the events that have transpired through out the day, now realizing the presence of the voice throughout all of them, with it a wobbly grin begun to take shape on his face, tears welling up in his eyes "then that means, you are my- my q-q-quir-" 'No.' and with that, Izuku's simmering hopes were drowned, his growing grin disappearing.
'I aint your quirk kid, sorry to tell you this but you still aint got a quirk.'
"Oh…" with that Izuku began to head home
'don't be so down kid! Cmon! Didn't you hear All Might? He called you a hero, and you held yourself well even without a quirk, now if only you had any training, or preparation and you could've taken down the villain yourself!'
The voice's words, brought back a smile onto Izuku's face, then quickly it was replaced by a pondering expression as he continued his walk
"so wait if you aren't a quirk… then what are you? S-sorry if that's an offensive thing to say! You don't need to answer that!"
'haha don't worry about it kid, no harm done. And to say it in simple terms, Im like your imaginary friend or a guardian angel, but without the angel part… a fairy godfather? umm give me a moment and also, we are going into the crowd and you don't want you to make them think you've gone crazy right?'
"oh umm yes, but how else am I supposed to talk to you?" 'just think kid, I'm inside your mind, you only need to think to talk to me'
"just think? Okay, I'll try" with that, Izuku focused 'stop that! You look like you are constipated! Just think, there is no more nuance to it, no force or focus necessary'
"right, sorry-" 'is this better?'
'yes, see how simple that was?'
'Right! um can you go back to explaining about yourself please?'
'of course, basically I am a person from a different universe-' 'different universe? Really? Are you sure?' 'kid, Izuku, there are children being born in your world every day with the power to warp space, time and even reality at their childish whims and you are questioning the existence of the multiverse?'
'right, sorry please continue'
'Anyway, I am from a different universe, and got a job offer to assist you in achieving your dreams. Sadly that assistance can only come as a guiding voice in your head'
'Wow! Wait assist me? Why me? I'm nothing special, just a quirkless Deku, why would anyone cross the multiverse just to help me? Who would do that?'
'Well, firstly the who- it was ROB-' 'Rob? I don't know any Robs?' 'True, but it doesn't matter. Secondly, we are going to have to work on that self-esteem issue. Thirdly, its not just you, there are similar jobs to help out kids like you, kids brimming with limitless potential yet put down by their own worlds, to reach their goals whatever it may be, and rise as symbols.'
With those inspiring words Izuku couldn't help but feel some doubt
"lim-limitless potential? Me? N-no you must've got-t th-the wron-" 'No, none of that self deprecating bullshit, I'm here for you kid, no one else. So shut up and follow my advice. And soon you will become the greatest hero this world has ever seen-' 'but A-' 'yes, even greater than All Might'
During their walk, without even noticing it, they had stumbled into a crowd that was gathering around the sound of explosions.
Already used to gathering information at hero fights, Izuku skillfully squeezed through the crowd to see what was happening.
Nearing the front, Izuku managed to catch a glimpse of the same sludge that still clung to his school uniform and explosions coming out of the sludge and starting fires.
Looking around Izuku saw multiple heroes holding back the crowd, yet none seemed willing to actually stop the rampaging villain.
"didn't All Might already take care of this villain? How did he escape?" Izuku questioned, looking around to see if All Might would appear to apprehend the escaped villain, entirely dismissing the tall skeleton like blond man in the crowd.
"why aren't they doing anything? Someone has to do something!" Frustrated Izuku continued pushing through the crowd. From the murmurs around him he heard that the villain had grabbed another hostage yet the heroes weren't willing to interfere because they are waiting for someone with a suitable quirk to come. Frustrated he continued pushing through, almost making it to the very front.
'damn it, this is really happening isn't it, screw it. Izuku!' hearing the voice Izuku paused 'what is it?'
'do you remember what I told you? That you could defeat the villain with a bit of preparation?'
That question, caused some of Izuku's frustration to disappear 'yes.'
'okay, reach into your bag and grab all the pencils' he did so 'now, zip up your bag tight and remember what the sludge villains quirk was like, can you decipher its weaknesses?'
All of that didn't even take a few second for Izuku, "eyes and mouth, the body doesn't appear flammable, water could possibly dilute him but could also add to his mass, taking the solid pieces away from the main body destabilizes it"
'perfect, now RUN!' Izuku didn't even hear the command as he had already made it to the front and saw who was taken hostage by the sludge villain, his body moved on it's own.
The heroes holding back the crowd tried to stop him, but his small and slim body managed to pass through without any hindrance
'THROW YOUR BAG! Distract him!' shouldering the tightly shut bag, the heavy mass hit the sludge villain in the face.
"ARGH! You are back you little twerp! What is it got jealous of my new puppet?!" the sludge villain sneered, it's grotesque mouth opening up in a shout.
'STAB IT IN THE GUMS!!!' not even questioning it, Izuku gripped his pencils and stabbed down into the villain's giant mouth, the pencil piercing through it's semi solid weakpoint, causing the villain to scream out in pain.
'Don't let up! Now The Eyes!!' once again, Izuku jumped up both hand clutching pencils and stabbed the villain in the eyes.
"GRAAAAH! UOOU PHUGGIG GIICH!! GILL UOU!!"
The villain reeled back from the pain, blinded by Izuku's attacks. Using the distraction, Izuku grabbed onto the trapped Katsuki Bakugo as the villains hold on him lessened
"DEKU you piece of shit! Cough I don't need your F-cough fucking help!" yet the blond refused the assistance, blasting both the slime and Izuku away from himself.
Now with the hostage free, Izuku dragged himself onto his feet, already used to the brash blond's explosions, and jumped to grab his discarded bag.
'Wait for it! Wait!!'
The bit of reprieve allowed the sludge villain to regenerate most of the damaged tissue, the enraged villain now targeting solely Izuku with multiple tentacles launching at him at tremendous speeds.
yet the kid managed to dodge most if not all of them though the guidance of the voice in his head…
if anyone heard Izuku say that out loud, they'd put him in an asylum.
'HOLD!!!' holding onto the now opened bag, Izuku continued to run around the sludge villain, further angering the sentient slime.
"IM GOING TO KILL YOU! YOU LITTLE SHIT! STOP MOVING!" with a final scream, the villain decided that the tentacles weren't good enough for the job and tried to bite Izuku, that would be its final mistake.
'NOW SCOOP!' "SCOOP!" with a shout that Izuku mirrored, he swung the opened backpack towards the approaching villains face, scooping up it's eyes and nearly dodging It's mouth.
The villain's mouth managed to chomp down onto his body, but its strength had disappeared, the body slowly dissolving, yet Izuku's backpack started shaking, the villain within it raging and trying to break through. But it didn't have much strength to do anything.
With that the crowd erupted into cheers, some even mimicking his shout of 'SCOOP!', to the embarrassment of the kid at the center of the crowds attention.
A bit later, after the situation has calmed down, and the fires handled the pro heroes that were present during the villain attack were scolding Izuku for his brash actions.
"You could've gotten badly hurt! These type of things need to be left to the professionals!" Death Arms proclaimed.
"Public quirk use is a crime, You should know this!" Kamui Woods spoke, with slightly less fervor than his counterpart.
"If it were up to me, you would be dragged to the nearest police station!-" " –But, as you were trying to help out your class mate and friend, we can consider this as self defense, and let you walk off with a warning!" Kamui Woods jumped in.
"Next time you won't get off this easy brat!" Death Arms finished his speech and alongside Kamui Woods turned around and began taking an interview with the press.
Yet through all this Izuku couldn't get the smile that had crawled on his face to dim even a little bit.
Taking a look around, Izuku spotted the blond being treated by the EMTs, sensing his gaze, Katsuki sent a scathing glare at the greenet.
Shrugging, Izuku turned around and continued heading home. Nothing would beat this day, as the best ever day in his life.
And it was all thanks to a special someone… wait- 'do you have a name? I've just been calling you "the voice in my head" all this time'
'now you ask that? After all this time? Don't they teach you kids any manners!'
'sorry!-' 'don't apologize, I'm just messing around. Anway, call me Tenno. I am your Guardian'
'right! its an honor to officially get to know you Tenno, I am Izuku Midoriya. And I wish to become a Hero'
'nice to meet you Izuku Midoriya, this shall mark this day as the beginning of our cooperation to fulfil you dream of becoming a Hero'
'I cannot wait! This will be so much fun!'
'hah! "Fun", oh you don't know what type of Hell I have planned for you Izuku!' 'wha-' 'what? Did you think you could become the greatest hero with just good grades? HAHAHA Im going to mold your body and mind into the greatest weapon this world has ever seen! …I have to make use of all the martial arts techniques I learnt from all those cultivation novels some how.'
'what was that?-' 'Nothing! Now pick up the pace! You wouldn't want to worry your mother now would you?!'
"YES!"
'yes what?!'
"YES SIR!"
'I DIDN'T HEAR YOU MAGGOT!'
"SIR YES SIR!"
And with those shouts, Izuku ran home.
