"Jojo! Come on! I don't want to miss this!"
"Calm down, Deku. The fight barely began."
It has been ten years since the duo met, and to the surprise of the green-haired boy, he and John continue to see each other from time to time. Eventually, this became known to the two of them and gave Izuku a thing that was rejected for him; a friend. Even though they both go to the same school, they are in different classes. Izuku had grown up, still, the loveling nerd that wants to be a hero. He wears his black Japanese student uniform, and his green hair grew more prominent than before. He made his way to the crowd, where a fight between pro heroes and villains was taking place. A new hero, by the name of Kamui Woods, takes on a giant Shark person.
"Awesome! Kamui is fighting! The young superstar who can use Nature's power to his side!" He said with his fan mode activated.
"Good grief. Just take a chill pill already." Said the other person accompanying the green-haired, John Joestar.
Different from the green-haired boy, John had changed, his figure became muscular, and his size was terrifying, standing over 6'5," and his hair grew even more. In comparison, Deku reaches almost up to his chest, and just like him; he too was wearing his Japanese school uniform, the difference was that John had his gold necklace around his neck and his eyebrows became bolder. He would almost be mistaken for an adult if it wasn't for his uniform.
Deku suddenly grabs his friend by the arm, while pointing at the Pro's arm which was becoming some sort of wooden spike. "Check it out! He's going to use it! His special move, Absolute Preemptive Chain Prison!" He yells as the Wood Hero threw his attack name at the giant shark.
('That name is long and stupid.') John deadpanned with a blank expression.
But before the attack could connect, "Canyon Cannon!" A giant kick slams itself against the face of the shark, taking everyone by surprise, even the Pro Hero. Suddenly, hundreds of reporters appeared with cameras muttering 'Is her!' over and over. The newcomer was a very tall young woman with voluminous blonde hair curled into two strands. She wears a purple and cream-colored skin-tight bodysuit with orange stripes. The bodysuit also has three peculiar orange diamond-shaped dots on the purple top that's under her chest. She also wears a purple domino mask with horn-like protrusions on the sides.
"Hey, boys~ This is my debut; I'm Mt. Lady! Nice to meet you!" The gigantic here wink down, catching all men's attention, even the duo.
Well, when you have a beautiful view of a thicc butt to your face, who wouldn't?
"Good grief," John said as he closed his eyes and looked away, removing his blushed cheeks immediately. "Came here to see something worth at least a few minutes, now it's over." He said as he scratched his hair. ('How I wish for a hat right now.'). He turned around as the police were taking care of the monster, the Mountain Girl enjoying the appreciation, and the Wood guy was in four, hurt from being stolen from his spotlight. "Come on, Deku. Will be late for school."
He said but got no answer. He turns to his green-haired friend to see him deep in his thoughts while looking and writing in his notebook. "Gigantification; very common and quite powerful Quirk. The downside would be property damage. Then again, it depends if she can control it at will…"
The purple-haired boy had a droplet on his head at seeing the mumbling habit of his friend before letting out a sigh. With his left hand, which was slightly bigger than a normal hand, he grabs the fanboy by the collar, not even grabbing Izuku's attention, and begins to walk away.
…
..
.
"No! I won't let you kill them!"
"You fucking shit! Die already!"
"Promise me…No matter what...Protect her…"
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAD!"
Eyes open wide awake, yet the body is still calm.
John moves his hand up to his head, caressing it. ('Damn…Same thing again.') He looks around and saw most of the students in his class either talking with each other or gone. Turning his tired eyes to his watch, seeing that it was 3 PM. ('Classes finish already? Good grief. Thank God.') He honestly felt tired to be here, but he had no other choice.
He stretched his arms in the air before he stood up with his bag, causing the residents in the classroom to stare at him.
That's when most of them either look away in fear, shame, or admiration. How couldn't they? He was the biggest guy in the school!
His size and aura intimidated many of them, despite being Quirkless. They don't want to mess with him; not just because of the antic Quirkless-rumor infection, but because they didn't want to piss him off.
They learn the lesson when a teacher tried to place his superiority…John beat him to a bloody pulp for mocking his lack of quirk. The man left with the trauma of tall people.
Not even the principal would do something about him, aside from warning him to cause problems. Because John might look like a thug but he wasn't stupid, far from it, he was an A-grade student, along with Bakugo Katsuki and Izuku Midoriya. He had evidence of the teachers' view of him, and besides the Pomeranian Bomberman, nobody can stop him from heading to the police and giving them the information that would close the school.
John Joestar has the reputation of Aldera High School in his palm. The reason why the school doesn't bother him or Deku anymore. At least, everyone except the explosive idiot.
The tall boy turned his purple eyes to a male student, who was looking at him and immediately looked to the side so that he wouldn't think that he was eyeing him.
"Hey. You."
The male student jumps as he looks forward to seeing John looking down on him. The guy began to sweat in fear as he stood under his shadow, ignoring the question of how he appeared in front of him so fast."Y-Yes?" the male asked in fear. He suddenly watches as the purple-haired boy stretches his hand in his direction. He pales himself as it reaches him until he sees him drop to his size.
"Here. You drop your pencil." John stood up from his knee and extended a yellow pencil. The boy blinked before looking at it. He widened his eyes in shock, remembering that he dropped his pen by accident. "Be careful. I think you don't have many of them with you. You probably keep leaving them on your seat by accident in almost all classes because of how much things cross around your brain." He placed the pencil in the kid's hand before leaving the room.
"T-Thank you!" John heard the boy say before wholly exiting the room.
That's another reason why most of the school doesn't bother him…despite his action, he helps those around him, even when he knows how they view him.
…
..
.
Leaving the school ground, John's first move was to contact Deku. However, he received a text from him that he was heading home, and that he didn't feel too well.
('...With the way he said it, the Bomb asshole must be up to his might and bullying yet again.') John deduces. He knew that Bakugo was in the same class as Izuku, and being the prick he was; it didn't take long for everyone to start bullying him as well.
Of course, when they see him with John, they all become pussies, and these are people who have Quirks and claimed to become heroes. Just go to show how 'great' our new generation is.
Of course, being the cocky, smug, and overhead moron, Bakugo was not intimidated by him, especially when he continued to grow up. You can begin to count how many times they have gone to Detention for fighting.
(Flashback-One of those days)
The blonde bomber had a scowl expression while gritting his teeth. He was sitting in the middle of the detention room. He continues to tap rapidly with his index finger on the table. But what pisses him the most was standing right next to him, resting those feet on the front seat, and feeling nothing but relaxation.
"Fucking Barney! Go fucking take another seat!" Bakugo couldn't stand it. The fact that he must be in a room with a Quirkless boils his rage to the maximum.
"Deal with it, Bomberman. Heroes must sometimes be around things they hate with their lives." John responds to him, checking his nails. "Take this as... training from when you and Deku got to team up."
"Yeah, right! Like if that Nerd will ever be a Hero!" Bakugo shouts with a crazy smile, "He's Quirkless! His dream of becoming a Hero is nothing but waste! Besides, I'm the only one here that's going to take the U.A High by storm!"
"Say what you want." Jojo responds to him, "After all, he's the guy that fought for someone in danger, and you're the guy who can't do shit without a Quirk."
BOOM!
John raised his right arm in time to block the hand palm of the Blonde that was heading to his face. Thanks to Bakugo Quirk, Explosion, he managed to damage part of his Japanese-like sleeves. He looks at the blonde with his trademark look (All Jojo's have it) competing against the anger of the bomb boy. "And this is why I keep calling you Bomberman; I can light the fuse, and you'll explode without a problem," John said with a cold and composed tone.
"And you'll still be the Quirkless guy who seriously pisses me off!" Bakugo responds.
"Is my charm. A charm that has been on the move since we met. So be glad."
They both glare more until Bakugo pulls back his arm and throws a 'Tch!' to the side. John pulls his right hand away, inspecting his wound and pieces exposed. "...If it weren't that you hung out with Deku, I would have called you cool…" he heard Bakugo mutter.
"And if it weren't that you were full of yourself, I would have hung out with you," John answered.
"Like Hell, I would hang with a Quirkless!"
"A Quirkless that got you in detention."
"That's it! I'm murdering you!"
"Bring it!"
(End of Flashback)
('From that day, we both got banned from even fighting with each other. Also why I'm in another classroom.') John thought as he was buying a drink called Barizona in the small market. ('We destroy the room…98% of it was his fault.') He exits the market and moves outside, drinking his paid can of juice. He was about to turn around a corner when suddenly, he felt something collide with him to the side, interrupting his drink. "Hey! What's the big idea?!" He turns to the bottom to see a chubby man on the ground, several packages scattered around him.
Just then, the salaryman, because he looks like a salaryman, jumps skillfully to his feet, panic showing on his face as he moves around to collect the packages. "Oh man, oh man, oh, man! I'm going to be late! Going to be late!" he stacks all his stuff before sprinting away.
John was left with a twitching eyebrow, "The fuck?! You can't just leave without apologizing!" He screams out, but the fat man is far gone already. "Tch! Good grief! Adults these days!" he grumbled as he turns around-
*Tick*
"Huh?" John blinked as he looks down at his feet, feeling something hitting. He saw that right next to his shoe was a weird object. He picks it up to inspect it. Sure enough, it was bizarre.
It was a golden arrowhead with a spade-like hole in the middle of its center.
"Hell is this?" John asked himself as he inspected the golden object. No scratches or dust; it looks to be brand new. ('This must be worth a fortune…Should I take it? I mean, the asshole did run into me and didn't apologize afterward, this could be his karma. Then again, if I steal it, I'm no better than a criminal, what if this is for someone who needs it-')
*STAB!*
"AUHGG!" He suddenly yelps in pain. He quickly looks to the side. He saw that the arrowhead had somehow appeared in his left arm, and it was digging itself into it?!"What the fuck?!" How did it escape his grasp?! Better yet, how did it stab itself in it? He immediately shot his right hand to it, grabbed the broken end, and threw it to the wall. "Good Grief! Aug! It hurts so much!" He gritted his teeth while resting against the wall of the building. He rips off half of the damaged cloth and wrapped it around the wound to stop the blood from leaking. He then took an elastic ribbon from his pocket and wrapped it tightly around the upper part of his injury. "Damn-Shit!" He cursed around as he sat down, his eyes landed on the bloody arrowhead that was inches away from him. "Fucking shit…This thing is-I don't even know what it is!"
He looks around to see his drink inches away from him. Some of the substance spilled out already. He moves to the ground and picks it up quickly, before chugging what it had inside his throat. ('Dammit! Good thing I bought this; should cool me down for a bit until I get home.') He stood up from the ground, grabbing the arrowhead and holding it tight this time, "Screw it! This thing will pay the bill for my wound!" He said.
There sure is an antiquated place to sell it-
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" He suddenly heard an anxious voice from behind. He turns to see the fat man back, searching around frantically for something. "Come on. It must have fallen here somewhere…!" He continues this until he realizes that he was not alone. He looks at John, who had a piss-off expression. Yet his gaze traveled downward to the purple-haired hand, his eyes becoming tiny dots when he saw what he was holding. "You! Is that-AAnd that blood…!" He looks to see the patch-up wound on John's arm before grabbing his head and shaking uncontrollably. "Fuckfuckfuckfuck! I'm so fucked!"
"You gotta damn right, you moron!" John walked to him and grabbed him by the collar, and raised him to his face, "You got ten seconds to tell me what this thing is and how it stabbed me before I deck you on the wall! And you will pay my medical fee!" Usually, he wouldn't be angry at this, but he got hurt by something that could be supernatural, and if the reaction of the salaryman hints anything, is that he knew what this was.
"How am I going to explain this?! The boss is going to kill me now!" The fat man ignores the threat and continues to scream in fear.
That is until his eyes widened and calmed down. "Wait...I...I still can fix this." He then looks at the purple-haired with a hard stare and licks his lips. "I can still fix this…"
Something was wrong, that much John understood.
"Oy old man! You still haven't-" John was about to say stop when he felt a dark presence coming out of the man. Suddenly, the fat guy swung forward, forcing John to let him go and jump away, dodging a sharp knife that almost cut his cheek. The big Joestar jumped back while holding his cheek. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
"Hold still moron! I still need to fix this!" The fat man charges at him at surprising speed. John had little time to jump back as the fat man had slashed his right leg, making him hiss in pain.
The purple-haired boy crashes against the wall, using it to hold himself as blood drips down from his new wound. He glared at the chubby man, who suddenly took a paper out and stabbed the knife into it and to his surprise, the blood swiftly moved around the white sheet, forming words of red. "Let's see…Strength: B, Speed: B, Durability: A, Reflexes: B, Special Powers: None. Hehehehe, so he's Quirkless." The man licks his lips in satisfaction before crouching down, "This will be easier than I thought!"
('What the hell?! Is this some sort of Quirk of his?!') John thought as he jumped away as the chubby man tried to stab him. He didn't have time to breathe as the fatty once again tried to stab him, sending random forward stabs with accurate precision, but since the move was very sloppy, John could jump and dodge in time properly. ('Wait…I remember in the news saying that there was a criminal with the power to learn the status of someone by simply getting blood. Could this guy be?!') He took a risk. He dodges a swipe that grazes his chest, which manages to cut through his cloth and make blood come out.
The Villain rolled through the floor, and once again, took another sheet and stabbed it down. Yet again, words began to form. "Let see…Range: Low. Status: thug-looking student-Wait, he's a student?"
('He is…') John taught as he unbuttoned his damaged uniform, revealing his exposed chest, now with his fourth new wound.
"Gah! It doesn't matter. I still must fix…" Whatever the man was about to say died in his throat when he stared at the Joestar.
However, he felt...different. His purple eyes looked cold, and his eyebrows became more intense.
The villain didn't know why, but he suddenly commenced to sweat uncontrollably. ('W-W-What is this…?! Why do I feel scared all of sudden?!-')
"You are now thinking, "I have the speed advantage through all this!" John said while pointing at him. (Jotaro Kujo Style)
('I have the speed advantage through all this!') The tubby man's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the boy, ('What?! H-How did-He's a Quirkless! What kind of power is this?!')
"Good Grief…" John spoke as he let out a sigh while staring at the arrowhead, "I have no idea what did is nor' what it did…I seriously want to know…But here you come, not only trying to kill me but cutting gashes on my school uniform…" He then glared at the tubby man and shouted at him, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT COST TO BUY THIS CLOTHES?! DO YOU?!"
"...Why…are you mad at your clothes?" The Villain had a droplet. Of all the things he should be worried about, THAT'S what he worried himself about?
"The arrowhead can wait." John suddenly made a pose, he stood straight, his right arm forward and his fingers stretched, his left arm went behind his head, his hand open. "Right now, I'm going to beat you up."
"Tch! Someone got cocky all of a sudden!" The tubby villain charged at him, his knife ready to stab him. This time, John dodged the stabs and began to do so. The fatty started to get angry at not being able to hurt him anymore, causing him to attack blindly.
However, as he was inches away from reaching him again, John threw his right fist forward, but to the shock of the tubby man, it stretched and punched his face so hard, a tooth flew off his mouth, and his jaw got dislocated.
"Gaaaaaah!" The Villain almost fell to the ground, letting go of his knife while holding his bleeding mouth, but was quickly picked up once again by the collar before being thrown and sent crashing through several dumpsters and landing against the wall hard. "What the fuck?!" the villain shout in pure agony while holding his jaw.
What the heck just happened?! He felt like a thousand bricks smash into him in one go! ('I-I didn't imagine things, right?! H-His hand shot forward!') But that can't be! The kid is Quirkless! His Quirk is never wrong!
"Oy. Fat Guy," John spoke as he was walking up to his enemy, hands in his pocket. "What you felt is me getting ready…So I'll give you to the count of five to beg and go away." He said as he cracks his neck bone.
"F-Fucking prick…! What would a punk like you...know the problem I am because of that arrowhead choose you…!" The fat villain said as he groggily stood up. "I need to stop the power...I have to!" Without a break, he threw blood at the purple-haired, which suddenly turned sharp like needles and John only could widen in surprise as he received the full force of them, stabbing itself on his chest, arms, and legs.
Hissing in pain, John stumbled back a bit, but then, his body stops in place. "W-What the?" He couldn't move a muscle.
"Hehehe…Like it? That is my Quirk; Blood Control. By simply throwing blood at my enemies, I can control them at my will! Like this!" He swiped his finger to the left, and John turned to the left. He then made a swing up, and John jumped, and then he raised his pinky finger and thumb finger, raising both of John's arms.
('A controlling quirk.') the purple-haired hummed.
"Normally, I would just kill you with your own body, but I must fix this." The fat man began to move closer to John with another knife in hand. "I must fix this...Before you manifest one…" he reaches the unmoving boy, who has a neutral expression.
"So it's just controlling…so then…hmmm…" John was focused that he ignore the man's words.
"DON'T FUCKING IGNORE ME! I AM GONNA KILL YOU, YOU KNOW?!" the fat villain shouts in anger. How dare this moron ignored him?!
John finally broke from his thought before looking at the fatty, "...Go ahead." He surprises him with his words with a smirk. "Just that you know, the moment you reach me… I'll not be responsible for the broken mess that your face is about to become."
"Trying to act tough in your final moments, eh?!" The villain charges with his knife, going directly at his heart. "Try all you want! My Quirk is unbeatable-"
POW!
The moment he reached him, John's fist was planted in his cheek yet again. However, this time, John quickly grabbed him by the collar before it could fly away. He then pulled his right fist before punching his face at full force, and began to repeat the process over, and over, and over, and over again. Feeling satisfied after fifteen hits, John threw the bloody fat man, who was already on the brink of fainting, into the air. John took a deep breath as he pulled his fists back, just as a red burning light glows around them, burning bright like fire. "Toma Esto, Idiota," John said in Spanish as the fat man came back down, and a massacre occurred, Jojo Style! "Burning Flame Overdrive!" What the fat man felt was nothing but a quick storm of punches hitting his entire body like waves of fires going around his body before being punched one last time in the face, his body was sent flying into an alley, where it crashed through a wall, making a huge dent that cracks the cement. When the dust cleared, the villain was no longer conscious, his eyes were rolled back to his head, and blood and foam dripped from his mouth. His body slides down to the ground; at the same moment, John turns around to leave. "Good Grief…Me sobrepase un poco."
Villain: Salary Man (Name Unknown)
Quirk: Blood Control
Multiple Bones Fractures and Internal Damage
Status: Unavailable to Fight for a long time
Conclusion: RETIRE!
John sighs down as he was now walking away, ('Good thing it worked. Boiling the blood made it lose control of me.') He then took the arrowhead from his pocket, "I guess this will be the pay up for your BS…" He once again put the object away.
But suddenly, he heard an explosion going off not too far away from his position. "What the hell?" Curious, he immediately sprints his way there.
…
..
.
It didn't take much for him to reach the area, and he was welcome by a lot of bystanders screaming and shouting in fear. He made his way to the front of the crowd, who were being held by the Pro Heroes, such as Death Arms and Kamui Woods. John managed to get a good look at what the fuss was.
"Aaargh!" a vicious roar echoed out of a one-lane street, half on fire, buildings turned inside out, and the pavement cracked apart and heaved into many different angles as if an earthquake had just passed. And standing in the middle of the street was a boy getting covered completely head to toe in murky sludge. Explosion after explosion blasted out of the boy's hands as he continued with his devastation, but it was not by his choice. Instead, it was the sludge creature, the thing that now possessed his body, who danced him around like a puppet.
('A sludge monster…What a tricky opponent…Might be good.') John said with amusement before looking around.
"A single-lane street? I can't get in there!"
"Explosive Fire is my weakness!"
"Got my hands full over here!"
"This guy is tricky! He'll just slip off our hold!" He heard the likes of Mt. Lady, Kamui, Backdraft, and even Death Arms shout. "It's hard since that boy's Explosive Quirk is fighting back! It is a minefield; we can't get close to them!"
John's world stops for a moment, everything going slow, very slow. Hell! He wasn't even faced when the sludge monster lost a barrage of explosive blasts, causing debris and hot pavement to shoot out in all directions. Thankfully, the Heroes were there to save them. ('Explosive...Quirk?') As far as he knew, there was only one person that had a Quirk like that...Could it be?!
He glares more at the monster, trying to identify the victim of the sludge monster. He saw the spiky blonde hair and the school uniform of his school-
"Hey, kid!" His thoughts and view were interrupted when the Death Arms appeared. "You need to get back! Civilians must stay back!"
('Shit! He's blocking my view!') John cursed as he tried to move to the side to see, but the Pro Hero once again caught his attention while talking to him to stand back. He tried several times to look past him, but the big guy wouldn't let him! ('For the love of- Just let me see!')
However, while John distracted Death Arms, he didn't see the blonde eyes looking at the crowd…But someone else did.
A familiar green-haired fanboy.
In a quick moment, a green blur finally grabbed the attention of the Pro Hero. "H-Hey! Kid!" John finally had the view, but his eyes widened when he saw Izuku running full speed at the sludge monster.
"Deku!?"
(With Izuku)
He didn't know why he was running.
He didn't understand why his body refused to cooperate to stop.
He didn't understand why he didn't care for the voices of the police and heroes telling him to stop.
He just kept running at the sludge monster.
"The kid..." the sludge monster said as he stared with anger at Midoriya.
"Deku…" Bakugo muttered very weakly as he battled for control.
In a quick moment, the sludge monster pulled back his slimy, tentacle-like appendages, ready to strike down the would-be hero. But in a moment of panic, Deku took his backpack off, and with all his strength, he threw it at the villain. To his luck, his bag was open, and a notebook managed to land in the monster's eye. Taking the chance, the green-haired boy sprinted and latch onto his childhood friend's sludge-covered form. Without wasting any time, he clawed at the grimy slime, tearing off chunks and flinging them aside.
"Kacchan!" he yelled out before he managed to clear the sludge from the explosive boy's mouth.
"You...idiot...Why!?" Bakugo exclaimed while trying to get some hair inside.
"My legs just started moving!" answered Midoriya, his voice carrying over to the crowd behind him. "Why!? I dunno…!" That was wrong, he remembered…
"...Heroes start their careers like you, bodies acted faster than their minds, rejecting them…"
The words of the one who brought him back to believe in his dream. Who has been there to lend his hand, no matter what-
"...A Symbol of Peace who saves people with a smile must never fall to evil…"
The words of the man he admires told the world that everything is going to be okay.
"But…!" And from hearing the words of a critical person, he only had one honest answer. "I… Couldn't let you die!"Though tears started to fill his eyes, and his body shook in fear, Izuku Midoriya still forced a smile to grow on his face.
Back to John, he heard everything that Deku said. As well as the scared look in his eyes, which triggers a memory.
A harsh memory in his mind; an image of a terrified kid looking down with tears in his eyes, and forcing a smile.
"I promised…I'll save you from this curse!"
('...I know...He and I aren't so different…') He clenched his fist, ('He wants to save people just like All Might…I wanted to save her just like he did…') John's body suddenly began to glow purple, feeling his spirit burning hot inside him. ('In the end…')
"I too smile for the sake of others."
"Just a bit longer," the villain roared out as he raised a hand, which grew in size till it was a least as big as Midoriya before swinging it at him. "So stop getting in my way-"
*BAM!*
Before he could finish, he was punched hard in the eye. "GAAAAAAH!"
Deku fell to his butt, followed by hearing a foot hit the ground. He looked to the side and was shocked to see John next to him. "Jojo…"
In a quick moment, the purple-haired grab the hand of Bakugo by the arm, and with a powerful pull, the explosive blonde was out of the sludge monster. "Good Grief…I always need to make sure you both don't get/cause trouble." He said before glaring at the sludge monster, "And you...You seriously pissing me off." He proceeded to pull his right arm, glowing a purple/red aura. "Vete para el Infierno."
And it was then, that it happened.
As John threw his punch, a second arm came out from it. It was a build-muscle arm, purple-skinned, and there were some scars around it, triangle-stripes. The arm balls his hand into a fist as well, and with the combined force of it, both John's fist and the purple fist collide with the sludge monster's face. The result was to plant the villain hard on the floor making cracks on the ground and the buildings to the side while splattering its goo to the side. That made everyone stare in absolute shock, from heroes to bystanders.
"H-Holy Shit!"
"Did you see that?! He planted it hard on the floor with one punch!"
"What kind of Quirk was that!? Strength enchantment?!"
"That does that? Not one I have heard of before."
As heroes and civilians commented around, right at the back of the crowd was a Man, clenching his chest hard as he could with his hand. Suddenly, steam began to spread out of him as he began to grow more than the average size of a human. ('Pathetic...Simply Pathetic!')
Meanwhile, back to the trio, all three boys stare at the crater with their reactions.
Bakugo stares with eyes widened and a baffled expression.
Izuku stares with a jaw drop in absolute fear/fascination.
John stares down with a surprised look as he retracts his fist back before inspecting his arm. ('What…the fuck was that?')
"Oy, Barney!" Bakugo recovers from his shock before shouting at the purple-haired in anger. "The Fuck was that?! I thought you said you didn't have a Quirk!"
"Q-Quirk?" Izuku asks in confusion before noticing that his tall friend was bleeding and covered in slash marks. ('H-He's bleeding?! How?!')
John simply stares at his right arm, turning to both of them with a composed, yet curious look. "I...I don't know either what that was…" ('But...I feel...that it was part of me…') As he thought, he didn't notice the shadow rising from behind him.
"Stupid brat…" the sludge monster muttered out as his eyes were on the big guy. "I was so close...But I'll take your body!" he lunges at John, who only managed to hear a shout as he turns around to see the monster jumping at him with his sludge arm forward. However, before he, Bakugo, or Izuku could do anything, two arms shot forward and stopped the gooey arms.
One was the skin purple right arm that helped him, but the other was from a human being's left arm.
"I'm truly pathetic…" they heard someone say, and to their surprise, they saw none other than All Might, the Number One Pro Hero, stopping the monster. His iconic smile was plastered on his face. "Not only didn't I practice what I preach… I had to let a simple kid remind me of the lesson I must teach!" He clenched his right fist hard, while a left purple arm came out, clenching his hand into a fist as well. "A Pro Hero should always be ready to risk their life!"
"All Mighttttt~!" the sludge monster roars in anger as he focuses his attention on the Hero.
"DETROIT!…SMASH!"
Like comets crashing on Earth, both All Might and the Purple arm slam their fist on the sludge monster. Their combined punches cause a massive shockwave so strong. It didn't just disperse the creature into puddles of sludges, but also sent Izuku and Bakugo tumbling through the ground thanks to the shockwave before being caught by the Pro Hero, while the air current through every hero, police officer, and bystanders crashed down to their butts. As for John, he would have accompanied them, if it wasn't that the purple arm had him hold tight.
Once the explosive atmosphere calmed down, everyone managed to see what had happened. Standing in the middle of the street was All Might, with the two middle-schoolers limps in his grasp. Next to him was John, having trouble standing up, when he got his balance back, both arms disappeared inside him. Moments later, a raindrop started to fall from the heavens above, followed by several more. Everyone stared up in absolute shock.
"Rain?"
"No way…"
"He changed the weather...with one punch?!"
"The weather has changed!"
"Yeah! Only someone like the Symbol of Peace could do something like this!"
One by one, the people began to cheer out while the heroes, finally out of the awed stupor they found themselves in, quickly started to pick up the gooey remains of the knocked-out sludge monster.
While they did that, the muscular hero had his attention on another thing that wasn't their cheers. He turns his head to the barely conscious curly-haired youth, whom he gently let go from his grasp along with his friend.
The boy…The one who is nothing but a Quirkless kid…There's no mistake about it. He is the one he was looking for all this time.
But before he could do anything else, he was suddenly faced with the big student, who simply looked at him. By the impression, All Might thought he would get mad about something. But then, he shocks him as he bows his head to him.
"Thank you...All Might." John thanks the Pro Hero before kneeling and picking Deku and Bakugo up, throwing the green-haired over his shoulder while grabbing the blonde by the collar. "They may not look at it, but these two are important to me…Thank you for saving them." With that said, he turned around and began to leave.
"Hey, kid! Wait a sec! You can't just leave with those two! You all need medical check-ups!" Death Arms shouts at him, but John was already in the crowd, passing by as the people let him through. Nobody dared to stop him. "Hey! Are you hearing-" he was about to continue, only for All Might to place a hand on his shoulder, "A-All Might?"
"...Leave them." The legend of a Hero said as he looked back at John's uniform. "I think those three had enough for the day. Besides, clearing this mess is the priority right now." Still reluctant about it, the Punching Hero nods as he returns to clean the mess.
Meanwhile, the Symbol of Peace just stared back at the trio, and only for a quick moment, he saw the ghostly image of a tall man dressed in a trench coat walking away. His eyes turn slightly open in disbelief. ('That boy...Could it be?')

After dropping Bakugo at his house, John was now heading to leave Izuku at his home. He was around the street where the Midoriya resident was when the curly-haired boy finally woke up from his daze.
"W...Whu…Where am I?" Was the first thing Izuku said before his mind jolted back, "Ah! The sludge monster! Kacchan! All Might!" He looks around to search for them.
"Ouch. My feelings just got hit." Jojo caught his attention.
"Waaaaaah!" His sudden surprise yelp causes Izuku to fall off John's shoulder and land on his butt. "Ouch…" he moans in pain before being pulled up by the collar by John. "Thank-Wait! Jojo!" Izuku forgot the pain and stared at his friend in panic and concern. "Are you okay?! I saw that you have wounds-Ahhhh! You are hurt!" Screaming for a bit, Izuku notices that they were not on the scene of the incident anymore. "W-Wait, what happened!? Where's All Might and Kacchan!?"
"Is over, Deku," John explains to him what had happened, from the one punch to delivering the blonde back home. "Just thank fate that I was there to save you from the lectures, even though you deserve it a little."
"I...I see." Izuku looks down in sadness before smiling just a tiny bit, "I'm glad… Nobody got seriously hurt." ('...Even if I didn't change anything, I'm still glad…Maybe it's time that I chose a more real-') his view was then interrupted as a notebook appeared. He looks at it and notices that it was his Hero Notebook.
"Here. You drop it when you attack the sludge thing." John said as he handed over the notebook to him. "Speaking of which, that sludge monster looked very hurt when you threw your backpack while spilling the content on it. It's weak to attacks getting sent in several places at the same time. You should write that down if you come against another Quirk user like that." He finishes saying.
Through all this, Izuku could only stare at his notebook, feeling hesitant all over his body. Should he tell John what he thinks he should do right now? Even after all the support, he was giving him?
"...Stop asking yourself." John finally lets a sigh out, "You were just thinking, 'How could you explain to him that I feel insecure about being a Hero anymore? Even after all his support?', right?"
"...Yeah...Is just…It's been so long that I kept going after that dream, and today...I feel that I have just been wasting your support…I couldn't help Kacchan. I couldn't fight that monster… Even the best told me to face reality." Midoriya said as he hugged his notebook. "I know that you said that I should forget what others said...But… the reality isn't a person…"
"...Was saving Bomberman a waste?"
"Huh?" Izuku looks up in confusion at the question.
"I asked if saving that explosive moron was a waste?" John asked again.
"What? No!" Deku quickly answered.
"Was being my friend a waste?"
"No!"
"Those notebooks that are full of nothing but your dedication to studying heroes' quirks and all they have. Where they a waste?"
"That…" Izuku slowly looks at one of his notebooks, which has every detail of every hero written. "...No...They weren't."
"Then, tell me." John closes his face to Izuku, shrinking the boy away, "Is being a Hero wasted for you?"
"...I-"
"DEKU! BARNEY!"
A familiar yell caught their attention, and they looked to the side to see Bakugo running at them. He stops like 15 feet away from them, catching his breath.
"Kacchan?" Izuku asked out.
"What do you want? I know you didn't come here to thank us, because apparently, that word is not in your vocabulary." John said in a bored tone.
"Shut up! I came to say that I never asked for any of you both to help me!" Bakugo exclaimed furiously as he angrily stared down at them. "I didn't want your pity, you hear me?! From neither of you! I could have done it myself! Stupid Nerds!" With that said, he spun around and started to walk off in the opposite direction; however, he stopped midway before he turned his head and glared at the purple-haired boy. "And…Jojo! I'll see you at U.A so I can prove to you I'm the superior one!" with that said, he finally walked away.
Back with the duo, they were in complete surprise, "...Did...Did he just call me Jojo?" John asks, being the most surprised of the two. "For ten years, he has only called me 'Barney.'"
"That means...He accepts that you're worth his time, right?!" Deku said.
"...So it seems," John responds although he couldn't stop a small smirk from appearing on his face. "...It looks like there's some hope on that dumb head of his after all."
"Hey, why are you always mean to him?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"...Right. Stupid question." Izuku blushed in embarrassment at what he realized how stupid that was.
"...Back to topic." John turns around, "There are still ten months before the entrance exam for U.A…If by that day, you feel that you don't want to go, I'll respect your decision…But just don't worry about what others said about you and focus on what you can do. If that's not enough, then you know the drill."
"...You're right." Izuku clenched his fist hard, "Until I reach the UA Exam…I can't give up just yet!" With determination in his eyes, he began to walk. "I have to try before I decide!" Those words made John smirk once again.
"I AM HERE!"
Suddenly, out of fucking nowhere, cutting through the path of both boys appeared none other than All Might, posing as he did.
"ALL MIGHT?!" Both boys shout in complete surprise.
"W-W-What are you doing here?! Didn't reporters surround you?!" Izuku asked as he looked around for any mob of people that could be making their way to them.
"Screw that! How did he find us?!" John asked in complete shock that the greatest Hero was in front of him, once again.
The muscular hero let out a hearty laugh. "Shaking them off is nothing to me! After all, I'm All Mi-KOFF!" To John's surprise, the Pro Hero suddenly shot a torrent of blood out of his mouth, and from a muscular body, it changed to a skinny body. The purple-haired boy cleaned his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming, and sure enough, he wasn't.
"A-Ah! Th-This is!" Izuku suddenly appeared in front of John, trying to come up with something.
"...Oy. What the fuck is going on?" John looked at his friend in shock. "Whose this Jack the Skeleton impersonator?"
"Uhmmm, well…"
"I'm All Might, kid." The now skinny hero confessed. "This is my true form."
