Chapter 1: I can be a HERO!

Growing up without a quirk is tough, however growing up with 2 quirks is even tougher especially if it changes your attitude. This is the painful realization Izuku has come to realize while growing up. It all started when he and Katsuki were 5.

"Kacchan stop! Can't you see he's crying?!" Izuku said as he was trying to prevent Kacchan from bullying his classmate.

"Shut up Deku! You don't even have a quirk yet you're standing up against me! Who do you think you are huh? You're just a useless quirkless deku so don't you think you can tell me what to do" yelled an aggravated Katsuki while making small explosions with his hands.

Despite all of the hurtful things Katsuki told him he still held his ground and protected the boy from his childhood friend in which the blonde found to be extremely infuriating.

"You're still trying to act as a hero huh? How many times do I have to tell you that a quirkless idiot like you can't be a hero!" said Katsuki as he slowly walks towards Izuku whilst making small explosions hoping it would frighten the boy.

"You're wrong Kacchan, I can still get a quirk! The doctor said I'm might just be a late bloomer. I'm gonna be a hero just like All Might!"

Those words made Katsuki dash towards Izuku with his right arm extended hoping to punch the freckled boy.

These actions by his childhood friend made Izuku crossed his arms in front of him hoping to block the punch although he knew that blocking the explosive with only his bare hands won't lessen the impact.

Just before the punch hit Izuku a wall of light emerged in front of him taking the explosive punch. Izuku's eyes widen seeing that the wall of light, which he thought he created, protected him. His eyes were now golden so as his hair and a white aura emanated from his body but it didn't last very long as Izuku disabled it quickly.

"Kacchan! I-I have a quirk my own quirk! I can't wait to show my mom!" Izuku practically screamed and judging by how Katsuki looked, he too was surprised on what had transpired.

"Deku…what the heck was that? How can that light block my punch?" Katsuki asked Izuku while staring at his fist with a confused look on his face.

Katsuki, however never got a reply because when he looked up, the green haired boy was no longer there and so was the boy he was protecting. This aggravated the blonde even more as he made more explosions with his hands.

That was the first time Izuku manifested his first quirk which is light manipulation although this light in particular is more of a white energy which Izuku controls. He can make barriers using this energy and provide range attacks in the form of arrows that are made purely out of white energy but the distance it can reach is only about 15 meters at most before it disappears.

He can also use this barrier on his body to strengthen it and prevents it from getting serious injuries. His hair and eye color also changes from green to gold and white aura radiates from his body when he activates this particular quirk.

He also discovered that he can also heal wounds using this energy. He was one day running away from Katsuki when he accidently tripped over a rock and grazed his knee. He placed his hand over his knee and suddenly a white glow surrounded his arm and it slowly healed his knee.

The manifestation of his second quirk happened during the sludge villain incident.

Izuku is walking through a tunnel when suddenly the cover of a manhole bursts open revealing a sludge monster ready to capture him.

"Great! A nice body for a disguise. Don't worry kid I'm just hijacking your body. Calm down. It'll only hurt for about 45 seconds... then it'll be all over." The sludge monster spoke as he lunged himself towards Izuku.

Izuku however reacted fast enough and created a barrier large enough to prevent the villain from capturing him.

"Tch… stubborn kid, don't think this weak ass barrier you made can save you." The sludge villain then went around the barrier and swiftly grabbed one of Izuku's legs and slowly engulfed him.

Just as the sludge made its way into his mouth, a booming voice echoed through the tunnel and a gust of wind erupted making the sludge villain scatter all over the floor, walls, and ceiling and release its victim.

Izuku steadied himself and looked around to see who saved him only to find the number one hero standing in front of him.

"A-All Might! Wha-what are you doing here?! Ah… also can you sign this for me?" The green haired boy quickly grabbed his notebook and presented it to the number one hero, completely forgetting about the incident that literally happened a few minutes ago.

"Of course my boy, anything for a fan! He signed the notebook and Izuku just watch while jumping up and down for he could still not believe that he is talking to his childhood hero.

"There we go! I must leave now my boy and bring this troublemaker to the police. Stay safe kid!" The pro hero said as he held onto two bottles that held the villain in place, not noticing that he didn't securely locked it in place, and dashing away from the scene.

All Might jumps from building to building quickly approaching the police station that is now a few blocks away when he feels that his time is running out. He quickly search for the bottles that are currently imprisoning the villain hoping to dropped it off as soon as possible to the police before he reverts back to his deflated form. Unfortunately, the bottles are now gone probably due to his high velocity jumping and he didn't secure it tightly.

"Oh for goodness sake and I call myself the symbol of peace?" sighing, he heard an explosion a few blocks away.

"So that's where you went. I won't let you escape again this time!" He then rushed to the scene but halfway through his running, he reverted back to his deflated form.

"Of course, out of all the times it can happen it has to be now huh? I hope there are pro heroes there." He arrived at the scene and thankfully he saw Kamui Woods, Backdraft, Deathgoro, and Mount Lady trying to apprehend the villain. He noticed that the pro heroes are not doing anything and he wondered why.

He then saw that the villain has captured a middle school student and using him as a hostage. The boy has an explosion quirk and the villain is using him to keep the pro heroes at bay while trying to take over his victim's body.

Seconds passed and the child is slowly being engulfed by the villain. All Might felt powerless as he watched the child trying to free himself from the sludge. He understood that the pro heroes can't take action for their quirks are not suitable for this and it might only make the matters worse. He prayed that a hero with a more suitable quirk would arrive and put this tragedy to an end.

The poor child is now slowly losing his consciousness when all of a sudden a certain figure emerged from the crowd and run passed the pro heroes and towards the villain. Kamui Woods tried to stop the person but it was already too late.

There stood in front of the villain is a middle school student about the same age as the hostage, with green hair and a backpack. The boy shouted something in which Toshinori assumed is the hostage's name. He heard the boy speak to the sludge monster and the villain just attacks the boy. The villain then said something to the boy that made the boy snap.

The green haired boy is suddenly surrounded by a dark aura is being enveloped by shadows. When the shadows dissipated, the boy's hair color changed from green to deep purple and if you look very closely the same change also happened to his eyes, making it the same color as his hair. Attached to his back is a huge scythe which looks like it is made from darkness itself. The aura radiating from his body screams threat and bloodlust.

A few moments ago

"I can't believe it! I just met All Might! Aaaaahh! " Izuku screamed as he walked past the tunnel. "I can't wait to tell mom. But wouldn't she get mad if I told her that I also almost died from a sludge villain? Nah, I'm sure she'll forget about that when I show her All Might's autograph. I can't wait to get back home." Izuku mumbled to himself happily as he walks until his foot makes contact with something making him stop his tracks.

"Huh? What's this? Wait, that can't be… I saw All Might take these away how did these ended up here? Did he drop it by accident?" Izuku noticed that the bottles were now opened and there are a little bit of sludge left at the ground and it trailed off to an open manhole.

"Oh no, someone could be in danger right now! I have to inform the police." Just when he is about to run, he hears an explosion a few blocks away from where he is standing.

Izuku was absolutely sure that those explosions were the cause of the sludge monster who tried to kill him a few minutes ago. Izuku runs towards the sound of the explosions carrying the bottles that All Might dropped hoping to trap the villain inside it again.

He arrived at the scene after a few minutes of running through the alleys only for him to see that the sludge villain has already found another hostage. Thankfully there are pro heroes assessing the situation. Normally, Izuku would have already got his pen and notebook out to take hero notes about the pro heroes in the area but when he saw who the villain has captured he completely froze in place.

There in the middle of the crowd stood the sludge villain suffocating his childhood friend who is trying to pry out of the villains grasp and failing miserably.

"Why aren't the pro heroes taking action? Can't they see that he's running out of breath?! At this point Kacchan won't make it out of there alive, I have to do something!" Izuku mentally said to himself as he clenches his fist tightly.

Izuku's eyes met with Katsuki and something inside him snapped. His feet moved on their own and he is now running pass the crowds and the pro heroes. He has to do something or else Katsuki will surely die from suffocation. He paid no attention to the pro heroes telling him to stop whatever he is planning.

"Kacchan!" Izuku shouted and threw his backpack and successfully hitting the villain directly at its eye. He tried to pry Katsuki out of the villain's hold but to no avail. The sludge monster regains back his senses and retaliates. The villain used Katsuki's explosions, which caused Izuku to be pushed out of the way, and continued to engulf Katsuki.

"Let go of him!" Izuku shouted as he runs towards Katsuki only to meet the villain's sludge dangerously flying towards him at great speed. Fortunately, Izuku manages to conjure up a light shield which protected him from the incoming projectile. The pro heroes kept on shouting for Izuku to get back but he just ignored them.

"Oh? Are you trying to act hero now kid? Well too bad I'm more powerful now that I have this amazing quirk. I'll use this to destroy All Might! Don't worry I'm almost done so why don't you just watch there as I kill this boy." The villain said to Izuku while he pushed more sludge into Katsuki's mouth.

Something inside Izuku snapped after hearing those words escaped from the villain's mouth. Suddenly, a dark aura emanated from Izuku's body and there are shadows swirling around him. The shadows grew in size, as it continues to dance around Izuku, to the point in which his body is no longer visible from the outside.

When the shadows dissipated, everyone saw Izuku standing his ground but his appearance changed. He now has a deep purple hair which was once green and his eyes are also of the same color and filled with fury and resentment.

Izuku's dark aura screams bloodlust and so intimidating that even the villain flinched and seemingly has been frozen in place. He's also carrying a pitch black scythe on his back and shadows are still surrounding him. Some could say he might as well be considered as the embodiment of death itself.

After a few minutes of silence during Izuku's transformation, Izuku shouted at the villain, who is still trapping his childhood friend.

"Didn't I say you fucking let go of him you shit?!" Izuku is now pissed off and he's not going to let this villain continue their bullshit.

The villain regained its composure and attacked Izuku using some of its sludge projectiles.

Izuku just dodges the fast projectiles with ease and in just a blink of an eye, he disappears into the shadows and then reappears in front of the sludge monster. He is now carrying his scythe and with one huge swing, a huge dark shockwave made by his scythe causes the sludge villain to free Katsuki.

Izuku stood in front of the now coughing Katsuki, no longer having a menacing aura and his scythe; his hair and eyes are now back to having their green color, and his vision is slowly fading. He is still not used to this new transformation considering it's the first time he's used it but he managed to last a few minutes which is fortunately, enough to free Katsuki.

Using the few moments of his consciousness he speaks which catches the attention of Bakugou, "Ka-Kacchan, I'm glad you're okay…" As he slowly falls to the ground his final thought is that he managed to save Katsuki and he is now certain that he too can be a hero.

Katsuki watches wide-eyed as Izuku slowly falls straight to the ground but thankfully, Kamui Woods manages to catch him with his branches and take him at the side of the road to give the boy some space to breathe and keep him away from the crowd.

The other pro heroes rush into the scene and took care of the villain whose body parts are now scattered everywhere in sludge form. They've manage to put the villain inside the two bottles that they've found on the middle of the road which they thought was a little strange.

After making sure that the villain is completely concealed inside the bottles and there are no remnants of his sludge on the ground, the pro heroes praised Katsuki for his quirk and his amazing endurance for him to be able to last long while the villain suffocates him but in only fell on deaf ears. Katsuki doesn't pay attention to them for he can only stare at Izuku's unconscious body lying on the ground a few meters in front of him.

Hidden among the crowds, Toshinori Yagi thinks about the incident that happened in front of him. He asks himself on how he can call himself the symbol of peace when he can't even save a single child from a villain. But most importantly, he thinks about the boy who plunged himself head on to the villain and desperately tried to save his friend and successfully doing so.

He finds great potential on this boy 'cause he's pretty sure that the boy can surely become a great hero someday. He possesses the makings of a true hero, a hero whose feet moved on their own when he sees someone in need of saving.
