AN: Before I start this story, I would like to explain that this came from my second Neo Project Springboard story of the same name. The idea was that someone else to make it as a challenge. I just wrote the original chapter 1 to experiment. However overtime I did get the urge to write it myself. Don't worry, nobody took the challenge. And before anyone asks, yes I am fully aware of the existence of DynaZenon. So, enjoy
Chapter 1: The Hero from Cyberspace
About a year ago, he tried his best to smile, to hold his head up high, to prove to the world that someone without a quirk could be a hero. But now, Izuku Midoriya would rarely smile. You see, Izuku was born into a world of heroes, where 80% of the planet had something called a quirk, a genetic boost that gave someone powers. Some turn you into human, animal hybrids, some grant you the power to bend the elements to your whim, others well their just plain weird. Izuku however had the misfortune of being one of the 20% of people who didn't have a quirk. For as long as he could remember, Izuku always wanted to be a hero, admiring many of them from the various media sources, or watching battles on the street. But none more so, than All Might, the Symbol of Peace and the greatest hero in all of Japan.
Or rather, he use too.
10 months ago, Izuku was attacked by a slime villain, and saved by All Might. While trying to introduce himself, Izuku learned that All Might's powers were significantly weakened by a villain after he took a bad blow to his repertory system. But what shocked Izuku the most was what All Might told him:
"It's not a bad thing to dream, just think of one more realistic, you can't become a hero,"
It hurt Izuku more than anything else to the point he put all of his All Might memorabilia in storage. Which was pretty much 90% of his room and clothes. Overtime, he forgave All Might, but never forgot what he said. As such, Izuku never attempted to enroll in UA, the top hero school in Eastern Japan. Which despite being quirkless, Izuku would have been at least allowed the luxury of attempting the entrance exam. Instead, he settled for an ordinary high school, Mustafu Prefectural High School, which was located a few blocks from his apartment building. Which is where we start our story, Izuku was packing up for the day, when someone smacked him with a notebook.
"Dude, I swear there's a little black cloud following you everywhere," The kid said with a smirk. His name was Sho Utsumi, a friend and fellow hero enthusiast. He was clad in the school uniform and had dark blue hair, while his eyes were covered by a pair of glasses. Like Izuku, Utsumi always wanted to be a hero and was never taken seriously for it. However unlike Izuku, Utsumi actually did have a quirk called Interface. Utsumi could connect from one computer to other using similar practices of technopathy. However his quirk wasn't deemed fit for combat, and often referred to as tech support because of it. "So, we still on for the Junk Shop today?"
"Of course we are," Izuku said, giving a weak smile. Since becoming friends, Sho and Izuku made it their mission to build their own computer from spare parts. The Junk Shop, was the family business of another friend of theirs, Rikka Takaranda, which is also a part time diner.
"Great, I can help you two tonight, Akane's on a warpath again," The girl in question had walked over. Rikka, unlike the boys, did have her own quirk, one suitable to be a hero, but chose not to take the hero job route. Her quirk was called Refraction Surge. Rikka could make energy weapons and shields by absorbing the light around her. However her older brother, the hero Shinning Knight, was killed by the Hero Killer Stain years ago, and found herself too afraid to take the same path her brother did.
"Let me guess why, it stars with an En and ends with a deavor?" Utsumi asked sarcastically. Rikka nodded.
"Apparently, he's being given an award for valor tonight for that drug bust last month," Rikka said with a shudder.
The trio quickly decided to get out of the school to avoid Akane's anger. You see Akane's brother Ren, the Teravolt Hero Discharge was killed by the second best hero in Japan five years ago, Endeavor, the Flame hero. What had happened was Ren was involved in a drug bust of the illegal Quirk boosting drug Trigger and was exposed to a new prototype version called Trigger Happy. It was here, Ren lost control over his quirk, the ability to control lightning from his body, and began shooting lightning like crazy. Many heroes on the scene tried and failed to use their quirks to stop it. Among them were the Erasure Hero Eraserhead and the R Rated Hero Midnight. However because of the lightning, neither of their powers could work on him. Eraserhead's quirk failed to connect because the bright flashes of light blocked his line of sight, while Midnight's pheromones where being burnt away. It was here Endeavor fired a powerful fireball through Ren's chest, ending his life.
Nobody blamed her for why she hated the hero.
However many were concerned on the actions Endeavor took to stop this. Many people including Rikka, a long time neighbor of Akane, understood why Endeavor did what he did, not that they liked it. Others wanted him arrested for murder. After a yearlong legal battle, Endeavor got off with a six month suspension of his license.
The trio ran out, taking the streets to avoid Akane's anger, when Izuku paused a moment hearing something. Or rather it someone screaming in pain, badly.
"What is it?" Utsumi asked confused.
"Nothing, I thought I heard someone," Izuku admitted.
"I didn't hear anything," Rikka said confused. As the trio continued their trek, the nearby powerlines sparked in shades of red and black.
About an hour later, Akane Shinjo, the girl in question finally returned home, and headed straight into her bedroom, having ditched her stockings. Her parents worked overseas and sent money regularly, so she was often alone. Akane entered her bedroom, which was filled with several shelves filled with kaiju figures. Some she bought, others she created. Akane's quirk was called Sharp point, where she created knifes from her fingers. Using her quirk, Akane was a gifted sculptor, and made her own kaiju figures. At the windows were two computer monitors, situated on top of her large L desk. After putting on her cracked yellow safety glasses, Akane angrily turned to see the report on Endeavor's dinner having brought up the live stream on one computer screen.
"We're here live at the scene of the banquet hall, where several high profile heroes have made a guest appearance," The reporter said with a smile. "The only absentee seems to be All Might, who my sources say, has recently taken up a Teaching job of all things at UA,"
"That bastard," Akane said, as a sole blade came out of her pointer finger, as Endeavor came on screen. She was working on a clay figure at the moment on a saurian kaiju.
"Endeavor, what have you to say about your award tonight?" The reporter asked.
"It's just one more step on my way to replace All Might as the Number one hero!" The fire user said with a deep and menacing laugh.
Infuriated, Akane kicked the computer with such force it spider webbed and pushed back. "I, I hate him, I hate all though fake heroes!" As the monitor fell, the picture on the desk tipped over too. She turned to see it was Ren in his hero costume with Akane in his arm. Ren had black hair groomed into a Mohawk with silver highlights and was clad in a black punk rocker outfit with silver arms, upper legs, and torso with red lightning bolts on the silver parts. Ordinarily he wore clear orange sunglasses, but Akane was the one wearing them. Instinctively, Akane grabbed the picture, held it tight, then cried.
As she cried, Akane failed to notice someone watching from the corner, through dark red sunglasses.
About two hours later Izuku and Utsumi had just about finished installing the next component on their computer, which they called Junk. It looked like an older 90's model with two large towers on either side of the monitor. "Alright Junk is almost done," Utsumi said with a smile. "We just need to add a few more components, and this bad boy will,-"
Izuku's phone went off again, for the fourth time tonight. He sighed annoyed, knowing right away who it was. "Damn it Bakugo,"
Katsuki Bakugo was a former friend of Izuku's who had the ability to create explosions from his hands via nitroglycerin sweat. However what both Izuku and Rikka despised the most about him was how much he rubbed it in that he had a quirk and Izuku didn't. Bakugo was always loud, raging about how he would one day replace All Might as the Symbol of Peace, and how he would destroy anyone who got in his way. Worst of all, he constantly referred to Izuku as Deku, meaning worthless in Japanese.
Reluctantly, Izuku answered the voicemail. "PICK UP YOU DAMNED NERD!" Bakugo bellowed over the voicemail, loud enough for everyone to hear. "I JUST WANTED TO RUB IT INTO YOUR STUPID FACE THAT I GOT ACCEPTED INTO UA AND YOU DIDN'T!"
"You should really block his number," Utsumi said dryly.
"He'd just hunt me down and try to kill me that way," Izuku said with a sad sigh. He walked over to attach a USB cable to the monitor. Just then, Izuku was hit by a powerful bolt of lightning, as he did Junk seemed to activate itself. A red diamond like symbol with a yellow center then appeared on screen, with a loading screen wheel around the symbol. Izuku was then pushed away with incredible force, landing on the couch three feet away.
"What the hell?" Utsumi asked confused as his fingers turned a bright blue coloring. Utsumi raised his hand, activating his quirk. With Interface, Utsumi could see binary coding coming from the computers in front of eyes, then reattach them however needed. "Where'd this come from?"
"Where'd what, that lightning bolt?" Rikka asked concerned as she looked over Izuku.
"No, some really weird operating system, one I've never seen before," Utsumi admitted confused. "I'd almost want to call this military grade,"
"How did that happen?" Izuku groaned, trying to get back to his senses.
"No clue," Utsumi admitted. "Give me some time,"
Later that night, Izuku tossed and turned in his sleep, having a strange dream. It was two giants fighting in a city, but it wasn't one he had ever seen before. The buildings were blue and black and had green, red and yellow circuity weaving through it. One figure was a humanoid figure with gleaming yellow eyes. The other was a cloaked figure with red sunglasses. It was evident who was winning. The humanoid figured tried its best, but couldn't even damage the cloak wearer. It was here, the cloaked being pulled out a giant red sword, and stabbed the other giant.
"GRIDMAN!" Izuku shouted, jolting awake. Panicking a bit, Izuku looked around to see he was in his room. Tired, Izuku decided to go back to bed, hoping he didn't wake his mother. However one question did plague his mind: Who is Gridman?
It didn't make any sense. However just as he was about to pull the covers back onto his body, he felt something on his left wrist. Izuku quickly turned on his night stand lamp to see something strapped to his arm. It was an elongated diamond like device, it was primarily silver with a gold trim and a blue activation button.
"Gridman?" Utsumi asked confused the next day at lunch, eyeing the device on Izuku's wrist. "I've never heard of that hero before," Using Interface, Utsumi was going over the device.
"First that electric attack, now this?" Rikka asked concerned. "I swear Junk is cursed or something,"
"Yes, how nice of you to mock our work Rikka, you're a true friend," Izuku said sarcastically. "I can't even take this thing off,"
"What the hell?" Utsumi said astonished. "That weird operating system seems to be connected to this device."
Groggily, Akane rolled out of bed after the school day ended. She told her mother she didn't feel good and decided to stay home. Slowly, she got up, and walked over to her workstation seeing the finished product. It was a stout lizard like Kaiju with a long brachiosaurus like neck with a head similar to a Chinese dragon. A warped spike was attached to its back on each side of its spinal fins. "Oh Ghoulghilas, I wish you were real, then you could destroy Endeavor for me,"
"What if I could make you wish come true?" A suave male voice asked, causing Akane to jump frightened. Akane slowly turned to see a tall, menacing figure you couldn't call human. The creature was covered in a black cloak with a bladed arrowhead like head sculpt, which was connected to the main body by a series of cables. His black shoulder pads had a red light up stripe going across its body, with chains attached to the top of the cloak. His teeth were an assortment of sky blue squares while his eyes were covered by a pair of red sunglasses. A powerful blue flame completed the look at the back of his head.
"W-who are you?" Akane gasped horrified.
"Apologies my dear, I didn't mean to startle you," The creature said, the teeth on his face died out in rhythm to his vocal pattern. "My name is Alexis Kerib, and I wish to help you,"
"Help me?" Akane questioned confused.
"You see my dear, I'm on the run, this hoodlum Gridman wants to destroy me, and I need a place to hide," Kerib explained, then took the Ghoulghilas figure into his hands.
"You're a criminal aren't you?" Akane suggested, slowly summoning the blades of her quirk behind her back.
"Something like that," Kerib chuckled lightly. "Should you let me hide here, I can help you get rid of anyone you want,"
This caught Akane's attention. She could be rid of Endeavor forever, any fake hero. But the one question remained, how could he do it?
"Prove it," Akane dared.
Alexis Kerib chuckled darkly. "With pleasure my dear," A bright flash of light rushed across his sunglasses as he bellowed.
"INSTANCE ABBREACTION!" The Ghoulghilas figure vanished instantly. There was a powerful thud outside, forcing Akane to look out her window. Much to her shock and awe, Ghoulghilas had come to life as a giant. Its underbelly was colored a bright pink while its back was a light blue color with dark red spikes running down its back. Akane smiled victoriously at this.
At the same time, the device attached to Izuku's arm started beeping wildly like an alarm as he, Utsumi, and Rikka were heading to the Junk Shop. "Now what?"
As if to answer Izuku's question, Ghoulghilas fired a barrage of fireballs into the city. The trio could tell the heroes of Japan were already on the scene attempting to quell the beast. Mount Lady was one of the first to attack, only for the beast to shoot a fireball directly into the giantess's chest.
"NOT COOL!" She bellowed enraged as she fell back.
Strangely, Izuku was drawn to the Junk Shop, knowing how to stop this beast was there. "We need to find Gridman,"
"What?" Rikka asked confused. Jetting off, Izuku headed for the shop.
"IZUKU COME BACK!" Utsumi bellowed at his friend. However his pleas went onto deaf ears as Izuku ran full speed ahead.
Izuku stopped as he reached the door of the Junk Shop, pausing to take several heavy breaths. Just then, Utsumi slammed into him, attempting to stop Izuku. The two tumbled into the store, landing at the back of the couch. As she entered herself, Rikka was grateful no one, including her mother was here.
"What were you thinking?" Utsumi demanded, groaning as he stood up.
"I, I don't know, it's this weird feeling I have," Izuku admitted, getting up too.
"You think you can find this Gridman hero here?" Rikka asked confused, wondering if Izuku should go to the hospital.
"How do you know my name?" A voice asked confused, startling the trio. The problem was it didn't come from Izuku, it didn't come from anyone in the room. Rather it came from the figure on Junk's screen. It was a silver, red, blue, and yellow armored like figure with gleaming yellow eyes. He was wearing a helmet with a small blue orb on its forehead crest.
"You're Gridman?" Izuku asked confused.
"I am, but more importantly, how do you even know me?" The figure explained.
"I don't know, ever since last night I felt like I know you," Izuku admitted, it was here Gridman noticed the device on Izuku's wrist.
"A Primal Acceptor, that must have been what happened," Gridman theorized. This got the human's attention.
"Primal what now?" Rikka asked confused.
"I am a Hyper Agent from the Hyper World, a dimension that exists within what you humans refer to as the Internet," This startled Izuku and the others, the possibility of a being from an alternate reality was right before them more or less. "I was in pursuit of this criminal, Alexis Kerib, but that's all I can remember,"
"Yesterday, I heard someone screaming in pain, that must have been you when you lost to this guy," Izuku theorized himself, going into one of his iconic muttering sprees.
"And how do you not remember losing to this Alexis Kerib thing?" Utsumi asked confused.
"Because he beat me, that badly, he had some sort of edge over me," Gridman admitted sounding unsure. As this was going on Rikka turned on a nearby TV to see coverage of the kaiju attack, needless to say she wasn't happy with what was on.
"To those of you just tuning in, a giant monster has attacked the city," The reporter said from the station. "What baffles many isn't the beast just appeared in town, rather it seems to be headed towards the Offices of the hero Endeavor,"
"Utsumi, how many casualties are there now?" Izuku asked, noticing the other kid on his phone.
"Forty at the moment, no one has died yet," Utsumi answered. "But no one's seen All Might,"
"He should have shown up by now," Rikka pointed out concerned. Izuku was tempted to reveal to the others about All Might's condition, but something was preventing him from doing so.
"Boy, your name is Izuku correct?" Gridman asked concerned.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Izuku asked worried.
"The Primal Acceptor on your wrist is our link, you must have obtained it when I entered this computer yesterday," Gridman explained. "With it, you and I can fuse as one, allowing me into the human world for 10 minutes,"
"Wait, you're asking Izuku to fight?" Rikka demanded horrified. "He doesn't even have a quirk!"
Izuku was silent for a moment, remembering his meeting with All Might, how he said he couldn't be a hero. Izuku then clenched his fist angered. "Let's prove him wrong,"
"Not the time to outdo Bakugo, but I love the enthusiasm," Utsumi said with a smile.
"UTSUMI!" Rikka shouted angered. "We have pro heroes for a reason!"
"Yeah, and they're losing!" Utsumi shot back, pointing to the TV. Several heroes tried and failed to even phase the beast. Best Jeanist and Kamui Woods were failing to restrain the beast, while Death Arms was being thrown from the Kaiju's tail. Ghoulghilas had begun firing a bombardment of fireballs at Mirko, who was barely dodging in time.
"What do I have to do?" Izuku asked firmly.
"Show the acceptor to the screen, hit the button, and shout access flash," Gridman explained.
"Seriously, I'd go with something like "Let's Samurize," or something," Utsumi admitted.
"Alright," Izuku raised his right arm as instructed. "ACCESS FLASH!" Izuku hit the button with his right wrist. It was here, Izuku was converted into a sky blue energy flare and sent into Junk's screen. Back at the battle, Endeavor had finally arrived, eager to show All Might up. . In the nearby alleyway, All Might in his weak form had looked in awe. He had rescued civilians from a fire across town earlier today so he couldn't be right on the scene for this attack.
"Damn it, I'm getting too weak to do this," All Might groaned internally. He did need to find a replacement for One For All, but there wasn't anyone who would work. Well, that wasn't true, there was a potential candidate, but he wasn't ready to be a hero. Just then before anyone could react, a massive light blue energy flare lit up in front of the beast. With a mighty fist raised to the sky came out a giant humanoid figure in silver, red, blue, and black segmented armor. On his back was a pair of thrusters ready to roll. The primal acceptor was embedded into his left wrist armor.
"Hey show off, I'm the giant here!" Mount Lady shouted angered, holding her arms in front of her scorched costume, which had lost most of the fabric in the upper portion, exposing her bare chest. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
"I'm the Hyper Agent, Gridman!" The giant declared, pulling his left fist back as it lit up red with power. "Spark Beam!" Gridman thrusted his fist forward, launching a barrage of energy fist constructs. The attacks slammed into Ghoulghilas, causing it to take several steps back.
"That's Gridman?" Akane demanded angered, watching the events unfold from her computer.
"I believe so," Kerib admitted confused. "He looks different than when I first met him."
"This is so cool!" Sho admitted, seeing the fight through Junk's screen.
Ghoulgilas' neck then extended out of the main body like a snake and wrapped around Gridman's body. He was then lifted several feet in the air as the neck superheated itself. "AH!" As Gridman was burnt, Ghoulghilas threw the titan down into an evacuated building. As his forehead gem started blinking and beeping rapidly Gridman weakly stood up as Ghoulghilas fired a barrage of fireballs.
"BARRIER BEAM!" Gridman's primal acceptor then conjured a pixelated vortex of gold energy pieces that blocked the attack.
"Where'd this guy come from?" Death Arms asked confused as he pulled Kamui Woods out of the rubble.
"Don't know, don't care," Best Jeanist admitted. "I'm just grateful this Gridman guy showed up when he did."
"He's losing," Rikka pointed out.
"No kidding," Utsumi said astonished, seeing Junk spark, while Gridman's vitals started going haywire on screen. "It's not like this thing has," Utsumi began to rant, only to see something they could use. "An exploitable weakness!"
Rikka saw it too, Ghoulghilas' neck, specifically right at the base, was flaking off scales, where the beast was weakest. "Gridman, can you hear us, you have to take out the neck, it's your only shot!"
"I can here you," Gridman's vitals then shot forward on screen. "I hear you, Rikka and Utsumi!" Using his thrusters, Gridman ran full speed as he straightened his left hand. The primal acceptor then generated a medium length blue blade. "GRID KNIGHT SABER SLASH!" With one careful slash, Gridman decapitated the beast. However everyone was shocked with what was underneath. Rather than blood and bone, it was circuitry.
"Damn it, is this thing even real?" Utsumi asked amazed and horrified.
"Maybe not by normal means, but maybe it's a construct quirk or something?" Rikka offered. "Oh hell it's still alive." Despite now being headless, Ghoulghilas then charged at Gridman.
"Let's end this," Izuku said from within Gridman, then paused a moment to figure a wording. "Partner,"
"Gladly Izuku," Gridman thought. "GRID!" Gridman rotated his arms around until they met near his stomach, crossing at his wrists, the acceptor glowing brightly. "BEAM!" Gridman pointed the device at the decapitated beast, releasing a mighty gold colored energy beam, destroying the beast. Everyone cheered at full volume as Gridman vanished in the same light show he arrived in.
"Gridman huh?" All Might admitted impressed. "Now there's a canidate,"
"DAMN IT!" Akane bellowed angered. "THE PRO'S ARE GOING TO MURDER ME!"
"Don't worry about them Akane, I can handle them," Alexis Kerib said darkly, putting his hand on her shoulder. As he did, black energy rushed from Akene to Kerib.
Izuku woke up the next morning to the sound of his phone going off. Groggily, Izuku looked at it to see Utsumi calling at 6 AM. "I'm going to kill him," Izuku groaned annoyed as he answered it.
"IZUKU!" Utsumi shouted stressed. "What do you remember from last night?"
"Aside from the fact I didn't have horrible ringing in my ear caused by you?" He began sarcastically. "I bonded with Gridman for the first time, why?"
"Guess what's all over the news?" Utsumi asked worried.
"The debut of Gridman?" Izuku asked dryly.
"Nope," Utsumi said. "Nothing about a kaiju attack either,"
"What?" Izuku asked, now fully awake.
"Izuku, as far as I can tell, last night's attack didn't happen," Utsumi explained as Izuku looked at his wrist, still baring the Primal Acceptor.
And here's the first chapter. Now before I leave I would like to explain a few things. 1) I will be hybridizing elements from both the anime and live action Gridman shows so expect kaiju from both shows to appear. One from the original series will not be fighting Gridman, won't say which one for spoiler reasons. 2) I won't be including the Neon Genesis Junior High students in this for a security reason. This way the pro heroes won't find out about Gridman so easily. One of them carries four katanas simultaneously, so this is actually for their safety. And 3) I've actually changed Kerib's motives completely for using Akane. To those of you who have read the Neo Project Springboard story this is based off of, you probably know why.
So leave a review and I'll see you next time.
