Chapter 1
"I'm sorry Mrs. Midoriya, your son has a useless guirk" the doctor said as Izuku sat there with his little All Might action, shocked and wide eyed.
"What! Can you please explain?" Mrs. Midoriya asked just as shocked as her son was.
"We ran a number of tests on your son, all came back positive for a quirk but he displays no real power. In these blood tests we took, we found an anomaly in this blood, in all my years of being a doctor I never seen this type of cell. Along with white, red, and platelets, he appears to have a special type of cells. I have no idea how he got these cells but what I do know is that it is unique only to him, there is no record of anyone else having this type of cell. I assume that this is his quirk this type of cell." the doctor said trying to make Inko understand without making the situation worse for her son.
With a sad expression on her face she asked, "Well what do we do now? It has been his dream to be a hero, will he still be able to be a hero?"
The doctor looked at her " As to what to do now, I've sent a sample of his blood to a lab where they can do future test, and to your second question" Turning his attention to Izuku with a sad expression looking down at the floor he continued "I'm sorry son but no you can't become a hero"
This broke Izuku, when he got back to his apartment he didn't say a word to his mother, all he did was walk up to the computer and began to look up All Might rescue videos. After the video had finished he turned around to find his mom was behind him waiting for him to say something. With tears in his eyes he asked, "Can I still become a hero if I have a useless quirk?"
Having no words all she could do was run up to him, wrapping her arms around him, pulling him close she held onto his small body and started to cry. Only thinking to herself , ' I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Izuku for not being able to make your dreams come true'
Izuku decided if people told him he couldn't be a hero then he would just have to be a hero without a quirk, after this he began to become obsessed with quirks and the hero's, he would get to know everything about their powers, weaknesses, and overall stats. He began to write down famous hero's names and take notes on how they used their power. Izuku will become a hero with or without a quirk he would show everyone that he could do it.
10 Years later…
Now in this final year of Junior High (Middle School), Izuku decided to do the best he could to become a hero this meant training. He began to wear 10lb or 4.5kg wrist mounted weights during his workout session, which consisted of push ups, sit ups, and plenty of juice. He started back in this first year of Junior High, so he had built up a decent amount of muscle, not a lot but enough for people to notice that he worked out.
"Alright you little parasites I know it's the end of the year and you are all looking forward to the summer break but don't forget that you have to start thinking were you will go to highschool" his homeroom teacher said trying to calm his class down. " Since you all have dreams of becoming heroes I would think you will all be aiming to get into UA."
"Hey teach, don't throw me into the same category as these losers, I'm way to strong, i'm too out of their league" Bakugo said while having his legs kicked up on the desk and leaning back in the chair. " I will be the only one in this stupid school to get into UA, mark my words"
"Oh yeah Izuku also wanted to get into UA if i'm not mistaken, isn't that right Izuku?" this teacher looked down at his clipboard.
The whole class turned to look at Izuku, Bakugo sat back up right at this news, who started to shot eye daggers at him all the while causing a small explosion in this palms. "Yes that's true," he said as quiet as a mouse. This only enraged Bakugo, placing his palm hard down on Izuku's desk causing an explosion "I thought i told you before Deku, you have no power, no quirk your useless! Why don't you just jump off a building and die maybe you'll get a better quirk in the after life!" After saying this the whole class erupted in laughter all knowing how useless Deku's quirk was.
"But it takes a lot more than a quirk to become a hero" Izuku said while covering his face with a notebook out of sheer embarrassment. " Plus its not like you will ever make a good hero, not with that attitude" he tried to say under his breath but Bakugo heard it
"What did you say you piece of shit!" as Bakugo lunged toward Izuku ready to blast him across the room the final bell had rung and school was now out for summer vacation. Grabbing Deku by the collar "You better watch yourself Deku, if not I'll do this to you" grabbing Izuku's hero notebook he had on his desk, he proceeded to burn it.
Just then something inside Izuku snapped he felt an anger that he never experienced before, something felt like it was crying out almost roaring inside him. "NOOOO!" Izuku yelled as to pushed Bakugo making him let go of his collar and with a swift palm strike to the chest he was able to actually knocked Bakugo a couple feet back.
The look of shock on Bakugo's face said it all, in all the years of bullying and abuse that Izuku had taken he never fought back not even once, he was a kind person and never one to fight.
With the initial shock of actually being knocked back Bakugo said nothing as he dropped the notebook, as he walked out of the class. "What was that? I never felt so angry before and how did I get so strong? Yes i am working out but I shouldn't be able to push Kachan back." Izuku thought on his way back to his house.
He decided to take the shortcut home, which meant he had to go under the bridge that no one ever went under. To his surprise a villain appeared from inside the sewer system, he was completely made of a dirty green sludge. Before Izuku couldn't react in time, the villain began to wrap around his body.
"Don't worry kid it will all be over soon, I just want to borrow your body kid nothing personal but I need to host if I want to get away from HIM." the slim villain said while laughing. 'Well I guess this is where is ends huh, im sorry mom but I just don't have what it takes' Izuku says closing his eyes and accepting his faith.
No sooner than when he closed his eyes he heard someone yell "Evil Containment Wave!"soon the sludge villain was surrounded by a green swirl of energy. The sludge villain dropped Izuku before he got caught in the wave. Snapping his eyes open Izuku could watched as he hid the ground hard.
"What is this!" the sludge villain said has he being pulled towards a small container with a seal that read "Demon Seal" as soon as the villian was inside the container a cork was placed and picked up by a small, bald old looking man, who wore sunglasses, that had a turtle shell on his back and a thick white fu manchu mustache and beard. "Well that was a close one," said the old man as he said walking up to Izuku who was still trying to catch his breath.
"Thank You so much sir, if you haven't showed up when you did then I would probably be dead" Izuku said while bowing as a surprising speed. "Don't mention it kid, come on let's get out of here before the hero's get here, and don't worry about him" pointing at the container " he won't get out unless someone opens it, I should probably leave a note explaining that."
"Come on kid we should get out of here before the pro's arrive, I got just the place where we can talk" he told Izuku.
As he followed the old man who just saved his life, he noticed that he was taking him to Dagobah Municipal Beach Park, which was always covered in trash. Izuku just remembered that he didn't know this man's name.
"Excuse me sir, what's your name?" asked Izuku. The old man stopped right at the shoreline turned around and say "My name is Roshi, and what is your name boy?"
"Izuku Midoriya sir!" said Izuku said standing up straight. "Midoriya ehh, you don't really look like a Saiyan to me? But I sense a great deal of untapped battle power within you." said Roshi eyeing Izuku up and down.
"A saiyan? What is that? And what do you mean untapped power? Like a quirk, that can't be right since I don't have a quirk" Izuku was trying to get answers but wasn't getting any.
"In time I tell you all you want to know, but for now I'll tell you this, with some training you can become a hero. I haven't seen this much potential in someone since my past students! What i'm saying son is that you too can become a hero."
Izuku was not ready to hear those words, but how he longed to hear them. Izuku couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, he fell to his knees, as he started to cry uncontrollably the moment with his mother began to play in his mind. All these years there was finally someone who actually believed in him that he too can become a hero.
After a few minutes of collecting himself he asked Roshi, "When can I start?"
Master Roshi smiled, "I like your enthusiasm kid, meet me here tomorrow, I'll start by answering all the questions you might have, till then go home and rest"
Back With the Sludge Villain
"I could have sworn that I saw the villain go in this direction" After a few more minutes of looking around All Might found a small container and a note. Picking up the note it read 'Do not open sludge villain inside'
"What is this? A seal? It's most impressive that whoever did this was able to contain the villain inside" All Might said pocketing the container. "Whoever this was I have to thank them one day but for now I must go" All Might said to himself jumping away and towards the police station.
'I should really start looking for a successor, my time is quickly running out' All Might thought himself as he coughed out blood.
Training
Master Roshi told Izuku to go home and meet him tomorrow morning to talk about training and to answer some of the questions he had. Once home and enjoying dinner that his mom had made for him, he decided to go to sleep early to prepare for tomorrow.
Dagobah Municipal Beach Park: Izuku walked up to the beach but quickly noticed something, 'Huh? He's not here? He told me to come back here today where is he?.' Turns out he was her but a little preoccupied watching some woman jogging. But before he could approach Master Roshi, he saw the woman slap Roshi across the face and walked off.
"Women today have no respect for the elderly anymore, she didn't even let me see her panties" said Master Roshi with a big hand print on his cheek walking up to Izuku. 'What?! No wonder she slapped you, what are you some kind of pervert' Izuku thought
"Well Izuku I know you a lot of questions and you want answers so go ahead and ask." said Master Roshi putting down his staff and sitting down on a broken refrigerator. Izuku only had 3 questions for Master Roshi, "Alright then, 1st, What is a saiyan? 2nd, What is this power you said yesterday? 3rd, Can I really become a hero with this power?" said Izuku looking at Master Roshi dead in the eyes.
"The first two questions go hand in hand, a saiyan is an alien warrior race who long ago conquered planets, obvisally to do this you need power and saiyans are powerful, this is where you come in. Someone in your bloodline was a saiyan, most likely your father which makes you at half saiyan. Saiyan's also have a strong control over Kiother known as life force energy, every living thing has this Ki, if you are able to draw out your Ki then you can use that for offensive and defensive purposes. Example" Master Roshi extended his arm out and opened the palm of hand towards the direction of a pile of trash. Suddenly a bright ball of yellow energy began to appear, Izuku was mesmerized by this, he's never seen anything like this before. A second later Master Roshi forced the ball of energy away from this hand and towards the trash, once it made contact the trash was vaporized.
Izuku could only stare at what he had just witnessed. 'If I can do that then I could be a hero too!' Turning back to Master Roshi. "And there you have it, you have the potential to his and much more. And to answer your final question, yes, I will train you for when the day comes you will become the greatest hero. But getting results is completely up to you." Master Roshi said getting up and placing his hand over Izuku's shoulder.
Without a second thought, "YES!, please train me! I'll do whatever it takes!" Izuku knew this was his chance to become a hero, so he immediately accepted. "When do we start?" asked Izuku eager to get started. "Right now, but first put this on" Master Roshi said pulling out a giant green colored turtle shell that had two straps like a backpack. Izuku was a little more than confused but he had no reason to refuse. Taking the shell he noticed that it was heavy, "How much does this weight?" asked Izuku struggling with the weight. "About 50 lb or about 23 kilos, this will help you increase your strength as well as your endurance during workouts," said Master Roshi
"Right now as you are you are no stronger than your average human, but with my training you will shatter the human barrier. Simply put you will become superhuman. You have 9 months until your entrance exam so we have no time to waste. I will have to teach you how to draw out your Ki." said Master Roshi clearing out an area for them to sit down on the sand. "Now sit down I'll teach you how to use your Ki" Izuku sat down right in front of Master Roshi, "Now relax, use your emotions to draw out your Ki, feel your energy within you. It should feel like a warm sensation, once you find it grab on to it and focus on bringing out this energy within you" instructed Master Roshi.
Closing his eyes Izuku did what he is told. Only seeing black Izuku focused,'Remember everything that has happened to you, what they have done to you. All the bullying, teasing, and abuse…what is that? A light? It's so warm, that has to be what Master Roshi meant. All I had to do was grab it and focus, then bring it out' Izuku said, he felt it, power rising from his core and running towards his hands this was it! Suddenly a small ball of green energy began to form in his hands.
"Master Roshi, look I did it! And on my first try too!" Izuku said excited at what he just did. 'This kid! I would never have guessed that he would have done so soon, on his first try no less! I may have underestimated his potential.' thought Master Roshi impressed. "Perfect, remember that feeling that is your energy. Now let's call it today but be ready for the next 9 months are going to be hell for you." Izuku got up as the ball of energy disappeared from his hand.
5 Months Until Entrance Exam
It has been four months since Izuku had started training with Master Roshi. To the surprise of Master Roshi, Izuku had already had a mastery over Ki control. Now it was time to teach Izuku hand to hand combat. "Listen kid, since you are half Saiyan, you have the natural ability to grow stronger after every fight. I'll teach you pressure point combat, Karate, and Jujutsu and various other forms of martial arts. Train your body and the stronger and greater Ki will become. And if I see you can master these fighting styles I will teach you a move that took me years to perfect." Izuku would spend the remaining time training his body, his body had to keep up in order to be able to handle his increase in power.
1 Month Before the Exams
Izuku was tired very tired, even at school it was hard for him to stay awake. Master Roshi decided it was time to move onto martial arts training so this meant a lot of sparring, two months to be exact. With the giant turtle shell on his back it made his movements limited but was getting used to the added weight. It didn't help that Master Roshi decided to teach Izuku his ultimate move, which puts more strain on his body. "Man I have another sparring match against Master Roshi today this is going to suck" said Izuku getting ready to leave from his classroom.
Izuku was stopped at the doorway, there stood Kachan his bully. 'Damn it here we go again' thought Izuku knowing what was about to happen. "Deku! You useless crap! How dare you apply to UA! You have a useless quirk and you think you can get in?! Don't even think about showing up or else you will regret it!" yelled Kachan, letting off an explosion that knocked Izuku into the wall. Izuku got up glaring at Bakugo, "Oh what's this? Deku is actually going to fight back?" Bagugo mocked him sparking small explosions in his palm.
Izuku gritted his teeth looking down at the floor in defeat. "That's what I thought...The weak should just shut up and listen to the strong" Bakugo said as he walked out of the classroom, leaving Izuku to his own thoughts.
'Damn it! After all that Master Roshi has done for me I still can't stand up for myself. One day I promise Kachan I will show you that i'm not useless anymore' Izuku thought as he slammed his fist into the wall causing a crack in the wall.
1 week before the Entrance Exam
"Alright Izuku time to test yourself, if you can land a single punch to my face then you win and I'll let you take the week off, Deal?" Said Master Roshi preparing himself to fight. "Deal" responded Izuku in a fighting stance.
"HAAAAAAAAAAA" As a green aura began to form around Izuku he felt his power rise higher and higher, Ki engulfed Izuku like a flame, he was ready. Izuku charged at Master Roshi. Throwing a punch aimed for his head, Master Roshi saw this coming from a mile away.
'Rookie Move' Seeing that this was not going to work, Izuku changed up his attack, he would go for an attack from above. Disappearing from Master Roshi's line of sight, he jumped and with a hard kick aimed down, this caught Master Roshi off guard for a second but smiled quickly after. 'Going for the quick change, I see but its about 200 years to early for you to try to take me head on' Master Roshi thought while dodging Izuku's attack with ease. Izuku was rapidly throwing punches at Master Roshi but none of them connected.
'Damn it! Why can't I hit him, he's too fast for me' Izuku thought as he felt a sharp pain in his neck, in an instant he was knocked out cold. "So much potential, I'm sure you are watching Goku, he reminds me of you when you were a child, this boy I think will one day surpass you" Master Roshi said holding Izuku in his arms.
'Izuku' 'Izuku' 'Izuku, wake up!'Called out an unknown voice. "Huh who said that!?" Izuku said looking around suddenly but noticing that he was surrounded by nothing but a black void. "I must have been knocked out by Master Roshi again. He's too strong for me still, I'll never be able to be a hero if I can't even beat an old man!" Izuku was mad at himself for not being strong enough.
"Hey, enough of that, you're still a kid it's only natural for your power level to be low." Said a man wearing an orange gi with a blue undershirt but what was most surprising was that he had a halo on his head? "Who are you?" asked Izuku curiously.
"Hey there I'm Kakarot, but you can call me Goku, and I'm one of Master Roshi's past students." Goku said smiling at Izuku. "It's nice to meet you Goku, I'm Master Roshi's current student" said Izuku also smiling.
"Oh I know! I can see you training from the other world. Man you are a natural! I can't wait to see how strong you'll become. I bet you will even surpass me on day!"Goku said showing his excitement upon meeting someone like Izuku.
"Other world? What do you mean? And why do you have a halo ring above your head?" Izuku said mumbling out. "Oh that's easy I'm dead!" Goku said with all the calm in the world.
"Dead! What, then how are you talking to me? Wait…..does this mean I'm dead! Oh god no there's still so much I had left to do. Go to U.A., be a hero, kiss a girl." Izuku couldn't help but panic mumble.
"Hey, hey take it easy, you're not dead, just unconscious. Since I'm dead I can't talk to you directly, but I can enter your mind when you are unconscious. Listen, I don't have much time left so I keep it simple. I also see great potential within you and I believe one day you will become stronger than I ever was. So I'll give you the tools you need to make that happen." Goku said placing his hand on top of Izuku's head. Suddenly a yellow glow began to surround Izuku completely. "What is this? Ki? It's so...comforting and warm." Izuku said shocked at what was happening.
After a few seconds the glow faded away, with a sigh Goku removed his hand. "There you go kid! What I just did was give you the last of my remaining Ki and with it all the techniques I've ever learned and some I've copied from my friends in my life time. But I must warn you some of these moves can be dangerous so use them wisely." Goku began to fade away slowly but surely. "Huh so this is it then, well I'll see you later Izuku, you got a lot of talent don't let it go to waste, be the hero you always wanted to be. Oh, almost forgot, you should wake up soon. See you later!" And with that Goku had disappeared.
"That was interesting to say the least. I don't feel any different, but it does feel like I learned new moves, I'll just try them out later." White light began to fill the blackness within the void. Izuku was waking up, to his surprise he was still at the beach. Noticing that the sun was now setting he sat up and looked around. "God how long was I out for? It's already late afternoon?" Izuku asked rubbing his neck.
"You were out for 5 hours" Master Roshi's voice said. 'What 5 hours?! But it felt like 5 minutes!' Izuku thought to himself confused at the time. "So, you got talking to Goku, and judging on your Ki, it looks like he left you a parting gift. Ahh Goku always trying to help, even in death you never change." Master Roshi gets up and walked towards Izuku. "All this time I could have been chasing the ladies but now that Goku helped you out it made my training less meaningful"
"That's not true Master Roshi! You helped me train my body to handle my new powers. Not only that but you also helped me learn various forms of martial arts. So please don't say this was all meaningless." Izuku looked at Master Roshi. 'He has that same spark in his eyes as Goku had all those years ago'
"Thank you Izuku that means a lot to me, now, I know you must be curious about your new moves, but we don't have time to master them. For now take the week off to relax, take it easy, you can even help me pick up some of these sexy ladies. Right one last thing, I won't be here until after your exam, so don't come looking for me" Master Roshi gave Izuku a small push.
"You never change do you, anyway thanks I'll take it easy this week." Izuku said thankfully, Izuku bowed slightly and began to run home. Before he left he decided to turn around and smiled at what he saw. There stood Master Roshi staring out at the sunset on the horizon.
