Hey everyone! So, I'm taking a break from the Xenoblade fanfiction. I just finished up a one-shot with Nia, Rex, and Mythra/Pyra after the fall from the cliffs of Morytha. If you have no idea what I'm talking about I wrote a fanfiction for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 named The Xanady in Elysium. I've been dealing with life and health problems so I've been pretty AWOL with it. So, while all of that was happening I had an idea from two of my favorite anime/manga. Highschool DxD and My Hero Academia. What if when One For All passed on his quirk to Izuku instead of a strength enhancing quirk he gained the red dragon emperor's power?! This is what this fanfic will cover. Let me know if you guys have any questions! Also, just a side note I'll be adding my own abilities to Ddraig and Izuku, The beginning of the story will be a condensed version of the beginning of MHA along with the changes to Izuku's quirk. As for ships...I'm quite honestly conflicted. So for the few who may read this story let me know who your best girl is! Want Izuku to have a single girlfriend I can focus on? A harem? Maybe two or three girlfriends? Let me know what you think! I will be doing the ships I really enjoy though. (I.E. Kaminari and Jirou, Ojiro and Tooru, Kirishima and Bakugou, and so on and so forth.) I'd say im leaning towards Uraraka, Mina, or Hatsume. So hard to choose! Anyways without further ado enjoy!

The blue sky above was beaming down on the world filling it with hope and light. However, one boy sadly wasn't being filled with that hope. Instead the sky was something he wished he could grasp in his hand. He wished he could feel that hope and light once again, but right now as he walked all he felt was dread and anger. At himself. At life. At his fate. Hell, even his supposed childhood friend Kacchan. The berating he suffered on a daily basis was getting to be too much for the poor kid. His curly green hair hung over his eyes as he looked down at his notebook. As he opened it he saw the signature of his idol. The person he looked up to. The strongest hero in the world. His Hero. All Might had signed the kid's book just after he had saved him from a villain. Izuku thought back to the days previous events.
*Flashback*
"Hey teach! Don't lump me in with these weaklings! I'm the strongest here and soon in the world!" A spiky blonde yelled in defiance at his classes uproar to wanting to become heroes themselves. He saw himself at the top of the food chain. Nobody was better and wallowing on the ground below him was…
"Oh that's right! Not only does Bakugou want to go to U.A. but so does Midoriya right?" The teacher asked mostly harmlessly. Mostly.
At this point there was dead silence. All eyes locked on the timid, small, and currently shrinking into his seat, Izuku Midoriya. Or as Bakugou liked to call him...Deku. Because in his mind. He was worthless for one main reason.
"Ha, good joke teach! That quirkless loser wouldn't stand a chance even if he trained his whole life!" A kid joked from the back of the class. This single joke broke the silence and the class erupted into laughter.
"Is that so Deku?!" Bakugou yelled towards the boy. "You think you're better than me is that is?! Trying to compete with someone who is superior to you!?"
Izuku tried to say something. Literally anything to save himself.
"I...I-I-I…" Words wouldn't form as the spiky haired blonde slammed his hands on the boys desk and steam began to come from the wooden desk.
"Settle down class! Everyone put your quirks away!" The teacher said using his quirk to put his hand on Bakugou's shoulder.
The blonde simply shrugged his hand off and looked toward Izuku.
"Meet me on the roof after school you quirkless twerp." Bakugou said as he grinned towards the now cowering boy.
After school Deku did as he was told. He walked up to roof almost immediately fearing the beat down is he was late. As he walked out the door he felt something hit his legs and his back and the same time. He fell almost immediately onto his face as he books and pencils scattered across the ground.
"Agh!" Deku yelped as his face hit the ground. He slowly got back and held his nose. It had began to bleed as it hit the floor first.
"Hmph, I'm surprised you came you worthless scum." A voice called out from in front of him. Izuku felt himself being picked up by the collar and thrown against the wall. His eyes adjusted to the tears forming and his vision became clearer. Bakugou was holding him up against the wall with one of his notebooks in his hand. Behind him was his lackeys. One with a elastic neck and the other with wings. That must've been the combo that tripped him up.
"So you think you can compete with me just by being a stalker to heroes and everyone around you? I mean, do you really think if you stalk so many people's quirks that you'll somehow get one!?" Bakugou laughed menacingly. His cronies chimed in behind him.
"Well, I'm here to tell you to give up on that dream you quirkless fuck!" As he said this he punched Izuku right in the gut and threw him to the ground. However, this time, Izuku got back and clenched his fists much to Bakugou's dismay.
"Eh!? Wow! Look at that Deku finally grew a pair!" The long neck boy chimed in with a mocking voice.
"Heh, how about that!" Bakugou said as he put his hands to his hips and grinned at Izuku.
"I-I-I w-won't give u-up my dream!" Izuku croaked back holding his stomach and his ground.
This irked Bakugou beyond belief. To the point where what he did seemed even wrong to his lackeys.
Bakugou picked up Izuku once again and socked him the face. He then put his hand on Izuku's stomach and released a small explosion.
"Argh!" Izuku cried out. The small boy was shaking in pain. He thought he was used to the hateful words and bullying, but now he realized he wasn't. Not even close. Tears were streaming down his face at this point.
"No stop Kacchan!" Izuku cried out with wide eyes as he looked onward as Bakugou picked up his hero journal and proceeded to blow it up and grin at Izuku.
"Give it up Deku! You're never gonna be worth anything in this world!" He yelled as he threw Izuku's journal off of the roof into the koi pond.
"If you really want a quirk so badly why don't you follow your journal off the roof and hope you get reborn with one in the next life!"
As Bakugou yelled this he kicked Izuku one last time and proceeded to leave. His lackeys looked at Izuku with a look of...pity. They knew what going against Bakugou meant and decided against it. They quickly ran with their leader and praised him.
"Why...why me…." Izuku groaned out as tears streamed down his face. "How...how can they be so mean?"
Izuku slowly stood up and looked towards the sky. The same sky that used to fill him with hope now looked barren and dark to him. He slowly looked over the edge of the roof. He could...he could end all this pain now. He could hope to gain a quirk in the next life. Hopefully. He could not be quirkless anymore. He took a step. He took another. He continued until he was half off the roof. He looked down towards the ground and the koi pond where his journal was. His eyes were red from crying. They looked sunken in and a dark expression was on his face. Then he thought about his life and an image of his mother, Inko Midoriya, popped into his head. His sweet mom. The only person to truly care for him. His dad left them when Izuku was very young. He barely had any memories and his mom would refuse to talk about him. He thought about what would happen if he left her. He wouldn't do that. He couldn't! That would be selfish. She may have given up on him, but he wouldn't give up on himself or her as a matter of fact. He shrugged his feelings off and straightened himself up.
"Don't give up now Izuku!" He said as he wiped his eyes and straightened out his clothes. Well, there was a giant hole in his blazer, but he only dreaded having to explain to his mom what happened.
Izuku went to get his notebook and collected his things. He continued to walk towards his home as he followed the path under an overpass. It was his usual trek home, but this time he was met with a surprise. A villain appeared behind him and put him in a choke hold of some sort. He slowly felt himself being absorbed into the being behind him.
"Sorry kid, it's nothing personal." The person behind him told the kid as even he looked the kid with pity.
Izuku was going to cry for help, but all he could think about was how this may have been a blessing in disguise. He relented himself to his fate and even the villain seemed to lighten his harsh grip on the boy as the two made eye contact Izuku just closed his eyes and the villain put what was...the equivalent to a hand on top if Izuku's head. Izuku dropped his notebook and let himself pass out.
"Texas...SMASH!" Suddenly a burst of wind blew past the villain and Izuku with no warning. It shocked Izuku awake as he was flung to the ground once again.
"Are you alright young man!?" A voice boomed with confidence and concern.
"A-A-A-A-All Might?!" Izuku screamed as his face flushed. He had just been saved by his idol of all heroes.
"I must apologize young man! I let this villain get away from me while I was distracted! I'm glad you're safe, but for now I have no time to chit-chat so I hope for your support in the future!" His voice bellowed out this and he gave his signature grin to Izuku as he handed him his hero notes. There on the last page was a giant signature from All Might. As Izuku noticed this All Might began to squat as he was about to jump.
"W-w-wait!" Izuku yelped out.
"Hup!" All Might echoed as he jumped into the air. 'Do I feel a little heavier than usual?' He thought to himself as he put his hand up to his chin as he soared through the air.
"YOUNG MAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING! LET GO NOW!" As All Might looked down he noticed the young boy from earlier holding onto his pant leg as he was flying through the air.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Izuku screamed back at the hero.
'Oh...right…' All Might thought to himself. He picked the closest building and aimed to make the impact as soft as possible.
"Oh crap…" All Might muttered as steam began pouring out of him.
Soon he was standing in front of the boy in his regular form after explaining everything to him and after hearing the question that made the boy possibly throw himself into danger for All Might wanted to give the young boy hope. He wanted to. So he replied logically.
"Young man, to be a hero requires more than just conviction and determination. It requires power. The power to save others and make a self-sacrifice for the people you swore to protect. Without a quirk of any kind...there is no way for you to become a hero. You could be a police officer or lawyer however! Those observations and mind of yours are sure to be a asset to society. But as for your dream...it's best to give it up." All might stared at the young man. Those bright and hopeful eyes had now disappeared with teary and dread filled eyes. It pained him to see a young boy like this just because he was quirkless. That certainly hit home with All Might himself.
"Right…" Izuku said as he picked up the notebook he dropped and began towards the door. "Thanks for everything...All Might,,," Izuku began down the stairs and saw All Might stare after him.
*End of Flashback*
And now here he was walking home with a depressed face as he heard a commotion a few blocks away from him.
"It looks like a hero and villain are fighting right now…" Izuku muttered to himself as he subconconsiously found his way towards the fight. He moved past everyone to see who was fighting and lo and behold it was the same slime villain that had attacked him. Izuku looked to his left and saw Bakugou's lackeys being taken care of by heroes. They had only minor injuries, but were fine nonetheless. However, a dark thought crossed Izuku's mind.
Where was Bakugou?
Izuku looked towards the villain ahead of him. He saw Bakugou trapped in the villain struggling to get free blasting every inch of the alleyway.
"That kids insane!"
"Keep fighting kid!"
"Where's All Might!?"
"The heroes are just letting this kid die!?"
It was his fault. Because of Izuku the villain had gotten away, had taken control of Bakugou, and All Might was getting a bad name now and...it was all because of him.
Something in Izuku...just snapped and clicked together like a puzzle. He sprinted. He ran as fast as he could as he blew past the heroes holding the civilians back.
"KID WHAT THE HELL!? GET BACK HERE YOU'LL DIE!" The Hero Death Arms screamed at him.
"Kacchan!" Izuku yelled.
'Why am I running?'
'Why can't I stop?!
'I'm no hero!'
'Duck kid!'
Izuku heard a voice call out from within him and he didn't know what to do so he listened to his head. Izuku ducked quickly and the slime villains attack was dodged. In response the villain roared to life.
'What do I do?! Think! Think!'
As Izuku was running he saw a pipe above the villain about to burst from the constant pressure from the slime, fire, and explosions.
'Hero Page 37! Use your surroundings!' Izuku thought to himself. He picked up a rock after dodging another attack and launched it towards the pipe.
'Please hit!'
To Izuku's hope it hit the pipe and it bursted out with water. The fire around Kacchan started to produce steam from being put out and the villain was sprayed with water in the face. The slime around Bakugou began to slide off from the water and Bakugou got a chance to breathe.
"Deku!? What the hell are you doing here!?" Bakugou yelled out while catching his breath.
"I don't know! My legs! They just started moving!" Izuku said as he wiped away the slime from Bakugou's face and arms. Slowly, but surely Bakugou got free enough to move his arm and though reluctantly at first held his arm so Izuku could grab it. However, before Izuku could grab his arm the villain held his arm up and was going to kill Izuku.
A yellow flash appeared before Izuku as he stumbled back.
"What kind of hero...am I?!" All Might was right in front of Izuku and he currently just blocked the attack heading straight for him.
"DETROIT SMASH!" All Might threw an uppercut to send the villain flying in the air as All Might caught the villain in the 2 liter bottle he had from before. He even caused rain to fall which put out the fire around the area. He stuck a pose and gave a wide smile for the audience as everyone cheered. Izuku and Bakugou were then taken by the other heroes as All Might was being interviewed by reporters and giving autographs to the fans. Izuku was yelled at while Bakugou was praised for his bravery. Soon Izuku was sent home with a warning this time as he walked with his head down.
"Well...time to think about a more realistic dream, right...All Might?" Izuku said as he steeled his resolve.
"I AM...HERE!" A voice boomed from in front of Izuku.
"A-ALL MIGHT WHY ARE YOU HERE!?"
"THAT'S RIGHT! I ESCAPED THE REPORTERS BECAUSE I AM ALL M-" All Might was suddenly cut off by him transforming to his original form.
"AHHH" Izuku yelped in surprise.
"Young man, I came here to apologize to you…" All Might began a lengthy conversation that ended with the one thing Izuku had always wanted to hear.
"Izuku Midoriya, back there you were more heroic than any other hero there including myself...most heroes have stories from when they started and all they can explain is that their legs moved on their own. That's what happened to you...right?"
"Yes!" Izuku sunk to his knees with tears streaming down his face.
"Izuku Midoriya...you can become a hero!"

(10 months later)
Izuku stood on top of a trash heap that was set to be taken to the junkyard and eventually destroyed. In the span of 10 months he devoted his life to training, studying, and cleaning the public beach that had been covered in trash. He cleaned the entire beach, not just the part All Might had told him to clean.
"ARGHHHH!" Izuku roared as the sun came up. Right when he did so All Might had come to check up on his young protege.
"Oh...oh my...OH MY GOODNESS!" All Might Roared to life in his muscle form. Izuku fell and was caught by All Might. In the 10 months he had trained he had grown, got very toned, and was more confident in himself than ever. After All Might had told him he would train him and eventually pass on One For All, Izuku dedicated his life to the work All Might gave him.
"My boy, this was you 10 months ago." All Might showed a picture of the small, scrawny, and crying Izuku from 10 months ago to the new and improved Izuku.
"I guess... I guess I've improved a lot huh?" Izuku managed to say as he stood up.
"It's time my boy…" Izuku nodded he had been waiting for this. "So...eat this!"
"Eh?" Izuku responded with a scared face.
XXXXXXXXX
It had been a week since he had received One for All and Izuku felt no different. However, now he was in front of U.A. ready to take the written and practical exams.
"This...this is just the beginning of my journey!" Izuku said as he took one step. However, this one step led to something worse. He was falling. He had tripped on his first step into his new journey. Bakugou had already walked past him and cussed him out so he knew he didn't have to worry about being made fun of by Bakugou. But everyone was gonna see him on his first day no less!
"Oh shi-!" Izuku said and was about to hit the ground when he suddenly stopped.
"Eh? Eh? Ehhhhhh?!" Izuku said as he just stared at the ground below him.
"Hey! Sorry if I startled you! But it'd be bad luck if you fell right?" The girl in front of him said. She had a sailor uniform on with short brown hair and rosy cheeks. Her smile was almost as bright as the sun in Izuku's eyes.
"Uh..Uh...Uh...YEAH! I mean! Thank you! T-T-T-that's a cool quirk you have!" Izuku somehow managed.
'She smells...really nice...wait why am I thinking that and also how can I smell her so easily and so strongly!?' Izuku didn't know what to think of it so he just brushed it off.
"Thanks! Well, I'll see you in there! Good luck!" The girl said as he began walking up the steps.
Weirdly, Izuku could hear her footsteps and breathing from very far away now. What the hell was happening to him? He could see what seemed like more colors as well. Everything was louder, brighter, and more vivid than ever.
He chalked it up to just being his imagination or a side effect of now having a quirk.
As he began in the presentation was done by Present Mic and Izuku seemingly understood what they were doing. He had to take out some combination of the three robots all while avoiding the fourth one that was worth zero points. The written test was a series of questions based on situations, heroics, and other things relevant to society and heroism. Easy enough.
Finally, it was time for the practical. Based on his own self scoring he predicted that either he aced the written portion or he ranked somewhere in the 90% range. He was content with that. However, the practical was different. He didn't even know how to use his quirk. What was he supposed to do? Maybe he'd ask the nice girl he met what she was going to do and go from there. He spotted her doing some stretching and Izuku made his way over, however…
"Excuse me! I don't know if you're here to mock everyone else or get in the way of others, but it is highly unacceptable! To be truthful you don't look like you belong here. If you're goal is to inhibit others than it would be best for you to leave!" A boy who interrupted Present Mic earlier walked up to Izuku and began spouting off nonsense.
"Uh..I-I-I-I-!" Izuku began, but was cut off when Present Mic's voice boomed over the loud speakers.
"START!"
Almost as soon as he said that everyone stampeded forward. Izuku was knocked towards the ground. He got up and began running. Every time he ran into a "villain" he was knocked down and someone saved him.
(20 Minutes Later)
'No no no!' Izuku was fretting in his head. Present Mic just announced that there was 5 minutes left and Izuku was left with 0 points.
"If I can only just get 1 point…!" Izuku muttered a little too loudly and the girl with brown hair looked over to him. However, everyone stopped when a loud earthquake happened behind them.
"The zero pointer!" Someone from the crowd yelled. Everyone ran. Izuku however, tripped over and was stuck on his back on the ground staring at the menacing robot in front of him.
"Isn't that a little too big?!" Izuku said as the boy with glasses passed him and looked at him with disdain. The boy was just doing what the boy with glasses thought he was there for. To distract and disrupt. He hadn't even used his quirk yet.
"Owww!" Izuku froze and turned around. A voice from in the rubble. A very familiar voice. With his new enhanced senses he could hear, see, and smell who it was. The girl who had saved him earlier from making a fool of himself. The girl who had openly talked to him like a normal person. Someone who could be his...first real friend since he was four.
Adrenaline pumped through Izuku and he stood up with a look of determination in his eyes. While everyone ran away he ran towards the robot.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Izuku yelled as he soared up into the air. He looked down and saw red and green shining over his legs. He was confused, but it wasn't the time for that!
'You don't know how to control me, but listen well Midoriya Izuku! Clench your fist and focus all of your energy into your hand! Show them the power of the Red Dragon Emperor!'
Izuku was scared to be honest. A random deep voice was talking to him from his hand that now had a green glowing circle on it. However, he didn't have time to think about that now he wanted...no he needed to destroy this robot in order to save that girl who saved him before. He did as he was told and focused all of his energy and strength into his fist. Suddenly, a red and green gauntlet with golden lining appeared on his arm. The gauntlet let out multiple loud sounds.
"BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!"
"SMASH!" Izuku yelled even though he was far away from the robot a small crystal like object appeared at the end of his hand and it shot forward. It collided with the robot and instead of what Izuku intended to do it literally destroyed the entire robot. It disintegrated the entire head and body and explosions overtook the rest of the robot. Everyone looked on in awe including All Might himself. This was certainly new to him, but he had his hunches already.
Izuku was left in the air shocked by what he just did. However, as strong as the energy had left so had the kickback to his body. He felt his arm stop listening to his brain. It's like his arm was just dead as well as his legs. He didn't know if they were broken or what, but right now they wouldn't even listen. The gauntlet on his hand had now disappeared so he couldn't even save himself. He was just sent screaming towards the ground.
Suddenly, he was slapped. He was saved by the girl yet again from falling and he couldn't have been happier. He looked at her and gave her a smile and she tried to smile yet threw up.
The last thing Izuku saw was an old woman make her way towards him…

(PRE A/N: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS FOR THE MANGA AND I SUPPOSE THE FUTURE ANIME. IF YOU ARE ANIME ONLY DON'T READ THIS A/N)
Wow that was fun to write. I haven't written anything in awhile let alone feeling this motivated! So in truth, I hate Bakugou. I do respect his character though and understand where he's coming from however. Being a victim of bullying when I was younger I know what Izuku felt like so I naturally hate bullies. However, I hope that Bakugou continues on the path he is right now in the manga right now. I'd like to see him and Izuku become healthy rivals and for him to apologize to the poor kid. Or have Izuku wipe the floor with his ass. It's pretty obvious Izuku would kill Bakugou if he went over 20% in full cowl. 8% had Bakugou at 100% so I can imagine the ass whooping he'd get from Deku especially now that he kicked Overhaul's ass, albeit with the help of Eri. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed and look forward to the next chapter!
