Phoenix Hero: Reborn

I wrote this story after being inspired by readerdreamer5625 crossover story "Renew" on Archive of Our Own, as my tribute to such a wonderful piece of writing that I look back to read constantly hoping he will load more chapters. I am also writing this story to draw attention to his work to engage viewers, and to perhaps encourage him on continuing "Renew" as his writing in my opinion is much better than mine. As I am not sure I will continue this as my workload is going to become more intense I wanted readerdreamer5625 to know how much his writing has inspired me to enjoy fanfiction, and hope he will come across this different interpretation of his story, which is similar to most My Hero Academia's fanfictions first chapter as the first chapter of My Hero Academia is about Midoriya Izuku's struggling with his quirkless in a world full of quirks, hoping to become a hero against impossible odds. Thank you and I hope you enjoy Phoenix Hero: Reborn

It all started when a baby born in China was born with the very first quirk that caused him to emanate light from his body. What soon followed was an epidemic of people around the world being born with strange and sometimes powerful abilities that sometimes even defined the natural laws set by man such as gravity, physics, thermodynamics, and countless others.

Many scientists and top officials were not sure what had caused such a phenomenon to occur, with theories ranging from a virus that had spread throughout the world causing a new evolution in humans, some form of radiation that was perhaps of a cosmic nature, to the ever popular topic that it was aliens experimenting with the genetic code of humans. Regardless with the emergence of abilities that were soon label by the public as "quirks" spread throughout the world, andwhat was once considered the paranormal became the new normal.

When the total amount of human beings possessing quirks exponentially increasing year after year new laws were soon implemented to regulated them such as: mandatory quirk registration, no public quirk usage with the exception of self-defense and even quirk counseling to assist children in controlling their quirks. However, there were many individuals who soon began to use their quirks for their own purposes to benefit themselves even at the cost of other people's lives. These individuals were soon labeled as villains who became such a problem for governments that they began deploying people to combat these villains as well as to assist and protect people from other forms of natural disasters. These individuals were labeled as heroes who gave rise to the profession of Pro Heroes who were paid by the government based on their notoriety, and their performance as pro heroes, as well as any other forms of compensation ranging from commercial products, to advertisement.

Today eighty percent of the human population possesses some type of quirk while the other twenty percent who do not possess a quirk are given the label quirkless.

My name is Midoriya Izuku, a boy who dreams of becoming a hero, who dreams of having a quirk that can be used in heroics to save others and to become like my hero All Might. "It's fine ? Because I am here!" as All Might strongly announces to the world, as hesmiles carrying people to safety from a pile of burning wreckage shown on video. I watch All Might's debut video on Herotube from my seat filled with glee just the same as I have watched it countless times never getting tired of it. Watching that video had always seemed to fill me with hope and determination for the future, for when I had finally got my quirk. My best friend Bakugou just recently awakened his quirk of producing explosions from his sweat comprised of nitroglycerin, unlocking a world of possibilities for him in the field of heroics. As I have said to my best friend Katchan, my caring mother, and to all the other children in my class is that when I get my quirk I am going to one day become a great hero like All Might.

My mother had the ability to move small objects, while my father who worked overseas had the ability to breathe fire. From what I've heardfrom others is that quirks tend to combine, evolve, and sometimes mutate as they get passed from one generation to another, becoming stronger than original two quirks, which meant that I could possibly acquire some telekinetic or pyrokinetic quirk, which if I could properly train and unleash its capabilities to its fullest would allow me to become a great hero. I waited with anticipation for my quirk to awaken and to one day begin my debut to the entire world.

And then fate played a cruel joke.

That visit to the doctor would forever be edged upon my mind as I recalled every gruesome word he had spoken implying that I should just give up. According to the x-ray of my foot the doctor had displayed in front of me and my mother showing that I had two joints in my pinky toe meaning that I would never develop a quirk in my lifetime. I felt my entire world slipping away from me, my hopes, and my dreams of becoming a hero becoming a pipe dream. After we left the doctor's office and arrived home I went back to watch the video of All Might's Hero debut with the lights offas I felt tears building up in my eyes like floodgates that would burst at any moment as I turned to my mother shaking in a state of disbelieve and fear hoping to her from her the words I most desperately needed to hear as I asked her "Can I… be a hero,too?" she then looked at me crying as she then charged at me with a hug stating "I'm sorry. I'm sorry!"I soon began to cry with numerous tears flowing from my face as I could no longer hold them back, telling myself that those were not the words I needed to hear.

It was on this day that I learned that all men are not created equal.

That night I cried continually about my quirklessness even after I was tucked in by my mother still shedding a few tears as she told me goodnight and closed my door. I looked around my room seeing all the All Might memorabilia that surrounded me and thinking to myself that this all must be some bad dream and when I wake up I will have my quirk and set off to become the hero that will be respected like All Might asI cried myself to sleep.

I had awakened to discover that I was no longer in my room but in a massive white void that seemed too stretched on forever. Confused, I called out into the void asking if there was anyone there, but received no response. I was alone and left to my own thoughts being reminded of the previous day's events and being labeled as quirkless. Tears then dripped from my face as I began to cry while I sat down holding my legs together with my arms, not only being reminded of my condition, but now there was no one in sight and I was alone and scared of what to do next when all of a sudden I heard a voice "Hello crybaby". Startled I broke free of my ball and quickly turned to the direction of the noise to discover a small infant with spiky hair and curly side burns wearing what seemed to be a black suit, a bright yellow pacifier and a fedora. I was still contemplating about why an infant would be in a place such as this that looking much closer at him seemed to have a head that was way bigger than his body with a chameleon on his hat looking directly at Midoriya. The infant looked back at me and stated with a firm voice"Kid didn't anyone tell you it's rude to stare at people" as I shook my head also wiping the tears from my eyes telling him I was sorry.

"It's ok kid no harm no fowl, my name is Reborn by the way, and this little guy on my head is Leon. And despite my looks I am much older than I appear to be so you can call me sir if you like, my I ask who you are" Reborn stated.

Curious about the infant before me I sat down Indian style facing him saying "Umm hello sir my name is Midoriya Izuku nice to meet you". I then followed up that statement asking "Umm Reborn sir my I ask who you are and what this place is". Reborn then looked at me stating "Who I am is not important right now, though as for where we are I not so sure myself".

He then asked me how I got here myself and why I was crying in the first place, as I told him that I was sleeping in my bed when I suddenly arrived to this white void, and that my crying originated from my quirklessness, and my supposed solitude here.

Reborn raised an eyebrow as he askedabout what I meant by my quirklessness, as I stated to him about my situation, and the world I live in which many people had supernatural abilities called quirks. Reborn holding a hand to his chin seemed to come to some sort of understanding that was unknown to me stating that I would mostly likely return home if I went to sleep again. I then went to sleep and after a short while I woke up to discover that I was back home in my bed already morning. I wondered to myself if anything of what I had experienced was real or just a weird dream, as I was shaken from my thoughts as my mom came to my room telling me to get ready for school, with what appeared to be some mild concern on her face.

Adults can be cruel, but often times it was the other children who were truly wicked.

News of my quirklessness had somehow made its way to the ears of the other children unsettling fast, as I heard them whispers of pity and how useless I was despite my teachers saying that being quirkless was fine.

My life began to go down from there as even though I was quirkless I still desired to be a hero, which did not sit well with Bakugou and a few other children who began to bully me verbally and physically from there on out giving me the nickname Deku meaning "one who cannot achieve or do anything". I had returned home that day after a one on three pummeling trying to defend another kid from Bakugou and his goons which left me beaten up and the kid telling me he did not need my help. Lying to my mother is something I do not enjoy at all as I lied to her about my beating saying it was an accident, even though she most likely knew the real reason behind them she never pursued beyond that out of consideration for me. I returned to my bed crying myself to sleep wondering as to why being labeled as quirkless was reason enough for people to treat me like garbage.

"Crybaby what are you doing back here?" as I soon opened my eyes to discover that I was once again back in the white void with Reborn standing in front of me. I then fall on my knees and hands crying my heart and soul out about how horrible my situation had become when I was labeled quirkless and the troubles I had experienced afterwards. Reborn then walked toward me "Hold still crybaby, and don't move" as Reborn then produced golden yellow flames from his hand as he then touches me on the forehead with the flames spreading across my body. Shocked about what had happened I do not move expecting the flames to burn me, but instead leave me with a feeling of peace as I feel the pain that was inflicted to me by Bakugou disappear with my body seemingly healed. I stare at Reborn with amazement stating what an amazing quirk Reborn has at his disposal as he then looks back at me saying that what he did was not the result of a quirk.

It was at that sentence when he stated that the flames he produced were not the result of a quirk that I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. I then looked at the infant with invigorated hope "Reborn is it possible that you can you teach me to use flames like yours".

Reborn then looks at Midoriya with a stern look thinking to himself "Based on what I have gathered about this kid and his world thus far those who are deemed to be quirkless most likely tend to lives most unkind. If human history has shown us anything is that human beings tend to pick on others based on some quality or trait that makes them feel superior, which in this case would be people who have quirks persecuting those who do not. Even though I have taught those other two crybabies in the past, I feel that that I need to know a little more about this kid and his world before I make a decision".

Reborn speaks up "Midoriya why is it that you wish to learn and use flames such as mine?"

"To become a pro-hero, to become a person who is dependable, save people who cannot protect themselves, and to become like my hero All Might" he says with a strong voice with a gleam of determination in his emerald eyes.

Reborn that tells Midoriya "Before I make a decision I want you to do something for me first".

Midoriya calmly asks "what is it that you would like me to do?" trying to hold on to this sliver of hope.

Reborn than tells Midoriya that when he get back to his world he wants him to go online and research topics relating to: the history of quirks, pro-heroes, and of course All Might. He would like it for Midoriya to dig deeper into more complicated subjects such as regulations regarding those who have or do not have quirks, as well as the Vongola Family if they exist in that world, but seeing as though he is a 4 year old child and a bright one nonetheless he will wait for that information when he is older.

Midoriya understanding what he needs to do thanks Reborn and then decides to go to sleep as doing that got him back home the last time. He wakes up to discover that once again it is morning and his mom notifies him to get ready for school, and while he knows that he does not look forward to school he looks forward to when he goes back to see Reborn.

After the school day was over with the nickname Deku becoming a more permanent staple and the bullying from Bakugou, he heads back home and onto his computer looking up the information that Reborn told him to find. He wants to make sure that he is as thorough as possible on the topics Reborn told him to research as well as hoping that Reborn will train him to use searches for as much information as possible until he was told by his mother to get ready for bed. Inko looks at her son with concern as Midoriya is smiling quite joyfully about going to sleep even though the shattering news of his quirklessness was only two days ago, but can only smile back at her little ball of sunshine as she hopes things will get better for her son.

Midoriya then wakes up again to discover he is back in the void, muttering to himself "Hmm it seems that from now on when I go to sleep in my world I will be taken to this place, though I am not entirely sure whether it is my body or my mind that comes here I will need to look further into this".

"Hey kid if you are done talking to yourself, did you get what I asked for" as he appeared behind him scaring Midoriya and causing him to jump into the air.

Regaining his composure Midoriya tells Reborn everything he managed to uncover, and tries to answer Reborn's questions to the best of his abilities.

"Kid I am going to say a few things about your current situation. One, even if I unlock and teach you how to use your flames there is no guarantee that they will work when you get back to your world, or how they will react or become. Second under normal circumstances I would not agree to something like this, but seeing that I have nothing better else to do in this place, I don't mind training you. And finally you must follow my instructions to the letter as I will not only be teaching you combat, and to help you hone your flames but also in academics such as science and mathematics, do you understand" Reborn states.

"I understand please guide me Sensei" as Midroiya bows to Reborn, as Reborn replies back at Midoriya "Don't call me Sensei, Reborn is just fine"

"Ok kid now hold still" as Reborn places his hand upon Midroiya's chest as he is blanketed in flames as Midoriya feels a sense of warmth and an awakening of power that seemed to be asleep inside of him as after a few minutes Midoriya stretches out his hands feeling a connection inside of his soul as he produces some bright yellow flames from his hands.

"Congratulations kid you have Sun Flames, just like me, which should make training you even more simple" Reborn smiles.

Midoriya begins to cry as he smiles at the yellow flames that dance onhis hands as he tells himself that he can become a hero.

"Ok crybaby I think that's enough for today get some sleep, and we will continue your training the next time you come" Reborn says.

Midoriya wakes up from his bed, and jumps out of it as he stretches out his hand hoping to summon the sun flames he generated in the void, only for nothing to happen. "Huh what's going on" a confused Midoriya says.

Throughout his body he feels the way he did when he first summoned his flames being a feeling of warmth, but not only are no flames coming out, he feels this strange disconnect in his world then he did in the void. He then thinks back to the words Reborn had stated about how he was not sure how they would react or become in his world. Midoriya spends the rest of the day thinking about this as he is in school and when he gets home trying all kinds of methods and poses to bring forth his flames with no avail. He mutters to himself "Maybe there is some sort of adjustment period before I can use my flames or perhaps there is some sort of activation method require to remove this disconnect, I will have to talk to Reborn on this matter".He then goes to sleep after a long day, but not before testing his theory on whether or not it is his mind or his body that is sent to the void, and takes out his smartphone connected to a charger and hits record as it is pointed at his bed and then drifts off to sleep.

Midoriya is greeted to Reborn who stands in front of him stating "All right kid this is how things are gonna go down for us from here on out. As you are far too young to experience any hard physical training without it having serious repercussions we will hold off on that until you are around 9 or 10. For now my teachings will consist of training you to bring out the full potential of your flames, and assisting you academically, any questions" as Midoriya feels a powerful aura coming from Reborn.

Midoriya then replies back in a confused tone as he summons sun flames from his hand "Umm yes when I was in my world I could not bring out even the tiniest bit of my sun flames, though I could feel the sense of warmth I felt before. I also felt this weird sensation of disconnect that the flames were inside of me but I could not cause them to come forth, is there some sort of method or process require to awaken them Reborn".

Reborn simply said that he was not sure though perhaps with training and determination he would eventually cause the flames to spring forth. This was a lie as Reborn knew the real reason as to why Midoriya could not bring forth his flames, but had a feeling that given his personality, and nature that given time he would activate his flames eventually.

"Alright kid if you want to be a hero you have to be ready for it both physically and mental, let's get started, seeing as I have nothing better else to do but train you" Reborn smiles.

Time Skip : 10 Years Midoriya Izuku Age 14

Today was the day where our teacher told us to start seriously thinking about our futures and also blurting out to the entire class that I wanted to go to U.A. Academy, much to the amusement of the class and the dismay of Bakugou who yelled out his typically banter of me the quirkless Deku who would never be a hero.

I have been under the teachings and guidance of Reborn for the past 10 years who I know for a fact is not a figment of my imagination.

I remember when I was four when I recorded myself one night to see what happened to me when I slept and entered the void only to find the recording showing me in my bed sleeping peacefully, revealing to me that during my slumber only my mind is taken to void where I would encounter the mysterious being Reborn. The strangest thing that still amazes me is that regardless of the amount of time I spend in the void training with Reborn is that after he calls it a day and tells me to sleep, it is always the exact time for me to get ready for school each morning when I return to my world. I mutter to myself that perhaps there was some form of time dilatation allowing for a synchronization of time between the physical world and the white void.

Reborn had spend the first five years teaching me about the different types of flames, their usages, strengths, weaknesses, and training me to not only improve my control over the sun flames, but to increase their purity as well becoming more golden yellow and bright.

Reborn had told me thatthe sun flames that he and I possessed had the characteristic of Activation.

He states that because of this characteristic, sun flames had the ability to accelerate processes in things, such as in machines, or even living beings. Sun flames can also be used to increase the physical traits of individuals allowing them to perform feats outside of their normal standards, and even possessed the ability to even heal others though overuse could lead to cell much like the word flame, sun flames also had the power to burn objects much like any other fire quirk.

I was shocked when he mentioned its ability to heal others, as healing quirks were extremely rare and valued quirks, especially in the field of heroics where life and death could happen at moment's notice. One popular hero possessing a healing quirk who springs to mind is Recovery Girl who services are valued by governments and heroes alike.

Reborn had mentioned to Midoriya that the strength and purity of these flames were directly connected to one's will and resolve, where people possessing powerful wills and life-force could allow their flames to reach levels where they could unleashed terrifying might. As flames were connected to one's will andlife-force they had the added bonus of allowing the user to decide what the flames could or could notaffect. Midoriya knew that was a big plus towards his efforts.

But, much like most quirks there had to be at least one downside somewhere, which Reborn states that because of their nature in order for users to control and generate these flames requires them to possess high physical and mental strength, and that constant use without restraint could cause someone to pass out, go into a coma or in worst cases die.

Thinking to myself about the massive potential that these sun flames had that if I could bring them out into the physical world they would allow me to be both a fighter and a healer in the field of heroics, a rare combination indeed.

When I reached the age of ten Reborn announced that it was time for me to train my physical body as well. However, as the void was a space where only my mind would be taken there I was not sure at the time how this would work, but of course Reborn already had a solution for that. For the time I would be in the void he along with his pet chameleon Leon who I discovered had the ability to shapeshift into countless forms would put me through trials and exercises to improve my efficiency with my flames, and when I returned to the physical world I would train in the exercises and fighting techniques given to me by Reborn to strengthen my physical body.

Reborn also told me that I needed to make sure I was eating right, and to ask for assistance from my mom on that part.

My mother was still the same caring and loving mother that she had always been, always worrying about my safety, doing her best to bring a smile to my face. Even after the fateful night when I was fourwhen she hugged me in what felt like my darkest hour, blaming herself as ifmy quirklessness was her fault. I have never blamed her for that as I knew it was never her fault, and I loved her must as much as she loved at times when I was asked by Reborn to accomplish tasks that required my mother's assistance, she had always been supportive of me assisting me however she could whether it was food, weights, or even training equipment, even though in her mind she thought that me being a hero without a quirk was impossible.

Reborn had also allowed me to excel academically, especially in the fields of science and mathematics teaching me material way beyond my years. This also cemented the fact that he was real as he was teaching me advanced lectures on these subjects that I knew nothing about, only to verify their authenticity both online and in textbooks. I had to admit that despite his infant like appearance he was a genius.

Reborn also had me look up certain topics in my world that he believe would be in my best interest to look up as well as having me explain exciting events to him, especially fights between heroes and villains which I was more than happy to explain with frightening detail. Though out of all the things he told me to look up in my world one topic stood out the most to me "The Vongola Family". I could find nothing online or in any references in my world that even mentioned their name, and when I told him that I found nothing he told me to forget about it. But in my mind I believe that whoever the Vongola Family is, they were a source of great emotional significance to Reborn.

Reborn in my eyes was more than a teacher to me, he was like a father-figure to me, as growing up my biological father was never around working overseas, who probably didn't want much to do with a son who was quirkless. And despite the harsh training I went through at times and the bullying I endured at the hands of the other children especially Bakugou, he always had my best interests at heart, and always did his best to support me in my endeavors.

After I was labeled quirkless, Bakugou and I drifted further and further apart where I became his number one punching bag to relieve his frustrations, and always told me with an angry overtone that I could never be a hero. I always wanted for me and Kacchan to be friends and try to become heroes together, but after a while I knew that at the moment that would never happen, as I also recalled words spoken by Reborn giving his analysis on Bakugou.

" Kid, Bakugou, or Kacchan as you called him is the way he is because he has been pampered all his life, with people constantly feeding his ego, and never stopping to tell him at times that his actions are wrong. He sees himself as being placed on a pedestal looking down on all others, seeing himself as a perfect being, whobullies, and intimidates anyone who conflicts with his world views including you kid. Often times the only thing that can fix kids like him is for someone to knock him off his pedestal, and make him see that he is not the perfect being he thinks he is, as the world given how it is will always been filled with individuals who are superior to you in some shape or form. In short he is just a big fish in a little pond, who is in for a rude awakening when he steps into the field of heroics."

Even though what Reborn said described Kacchan perfectly, I still wished that we could be friends again just like the kids we once were waiting for our quirks to manifest.

Over the years my desire to become a hero lead me to dabble into hero analysis where I had wrote a least a dozen notebooks detailing the information of heroes and their quirks, analyzing them for their strengths, weaknesses, as well as methods to improve their total capability.

However despite all my efforts, even after 10 years of training with Reborn I still could not bring out my sun flames into the physical world. The feeling of warmth throughout my body had been stronger than it has ever been, and my control over my flames had increases exponentially with the guidance of Reborn within the void, but not once could I bring out my flames in the physical world.

As I was walking under a bridge when school was over, taking a different route to get home hoping to avoid Kacchan, I was feeling down. Bakugou in fit of rage took one of my hero analysis notebooks I had been working on, exploded it before tossing it out a window and into the school's koi fish pond. Then to add insult to injury in one of the worst acts Bakugou could have done and when he is even smiling no less "If you want to be a hero that badly, there's a quick way to do it. Believe that you'll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a last chance dive off the roof."

Even though I was still thinking about today's current events, I had quickly felt a malevolent presence close by thanks to years of training with Reborn who despite his size could fight in ways that would give some of the top 10 heroes a run for their money. Then at that moment an anthropomorphic blob of what appeared to be comprised of green sludgeoozed out of a manhole cover looking at me smiling as it said "a medium sized body… to hide in". It then processed to engulf me as it was suffocating me with its fluid body telling me it would be over in about 45 seconds as I felt it harder to breath, I tried to struggle out of its hold with no avail. As it body was comprised of liquid I could not defend myself or fight back, and at this moment tried with every ounce of will power that I had Itriedto summon my sun flames, but while the feeling of warmth felt like it had reached a boiling point no flames had come out. Just as I was about to pass out I had heard a voice that I would recognize anywhere as a man had burst out of the sewers announcing "FEAR NOT KID!, I AM HERE" quickly followed by "TEXAS SMASH". The move produced a shockwave that caused the sludge villain to explode and have his entire fluid form splattered all over the inside of the bridge. As I had past begun to pass out I was able to verify that the one who had save me was the number one hero All Might thank goodness, as my entire world went black.

I was not sure for how long I passed out for, as All might had awaken me from my slumber by lightly slapping me on one side of my face continuously, and then apologizing for getting me involved in his villain hunt as well as revealing to me that the villain had been contained within a two liter plastic bottle. I was starstruck to see my favorite hero in front of me not only thanking me for apparently stalling the villain even though I almost died, but to also acquire his signature that he had written in all capital letters in my notebook complete with an exclamation mark and a scribble of his eyes and iconic hairwhile I was passed out. Thanking All Might for everything, I so realized I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with the world's number one hero, one on one to speak about my situation of becoming a hero without a quirk. All Might was about to go into one of his long jumps, when in a moment of panic, desperately hoping to get answers I had attached myself to his leg as he jumped feeling the air pressure pulling on my face, when unbeknown to either me or All might that because of my interference the bottle containing the sludge villain fell from his pocket.

I has shocked and heartbroken after my interaction with All Might. Shocked that the hero who I had always looked up towas slowing losing his ability to be a hero, and heartbroken that he much like everyone else had stated that without a quirk, without power, I should forget about ever being a hero, and focus on dreams that are realistic.

This feeling of depression was different from all the others I had experienced, as I always believe that All Might would be different from everyone else, and would perhaps … no this was reality and what All Might said was the reality, and I had always knew that being quirkless would stop me, but then of course that is why I always tried so hard in my studies, quirk analysis, and my training with Reborn that perhaps I could awaken my flames and become a hero.

As I felt like crying again, I heard an explosion from across the street where I saw hundreds of people clustered together as flames were engulfing the entire street, where upon closer inspection I not only saw the sludge villain who almost suffocated me, but also a person who I immediately recognized as Bakugou suffocating within the sludge as he was being puppeteered into using his quirk by the sludge villain. I also saw several pro heroes such as Desutegoro, Backdraft, Kamui Woods, and even the new hero who made her debut Mt. Lady unable to get close to help Bakugou, and doing whatever they could to stop the spread of the fires, and contain the in the crowd were all looking saying that All Might was chasing him, and surely All Might will come to heroically save the day as he always does.

However, Midoriya knew that All Might could not help Bakugou, for he had just earlier learned of All Might's condition and that he already expended his three hour time limit already. Midoriya was blaming himself for causing this disaster, witnessing the look of fear across Kacchan's face that Midoriya knew all too well. Emotions were building up inside Midoriya: fear, pain, sorrow, and worry for his supposed friend where against rational thought he did something completely irrational. He had ran towards the sludge monster in the burning battlefield ignoring all the pro-heroes attempts to stop him and threw his backpack towards the sludge man where a notebook had managed to hit him in the eye partially freeing Bakugou giving him a much needed chance to breathe.

Bakugou then looked at Midoriya confused asking only a simple question "Why?"

Midoriya desperately trying to pull Bakugou free from his liquid confinement, experiencing countless emotions at once with his heart feeling as if it was beating a mile a minute, replied with a strong voice "My legs just started moving! Why? I Dunno! You … You Looked Like You Needing Saving" as tears began forming in his eyes.

The Sludge monster recovered quickly as he strengthen his hold on Bakugou and then proceeded to assimilate Midoriya wrapping him in sludge yelling " You are going to pay for that kid! You and All Might, but for you the end comes now".

The feeling of pain that my body was experiencing was excruciating, as my body felt like it was on a fire and not the one I am used to, as my vision was starting to get blurry as I saw the crowd and heroes in front of me, where to my surprise I saw All Might in his deflated form within the crowd, looking in shock powerless to help.

I was closing my eyes struggling in hopes of breaking free but that much like my dreams of being a hero seemed futile. I felt my mind becoming foggy as I believed that death would soon come for me, muttering to myself on that I was sorry for being such a useless Deku, who could do nothing to help.

When all of a sudden I heard a voice in my head "Kid are you just going to just give up here after everything you and I have been through. You had the guts to try and save this problem child of a friend, when all those pro-heroes and all their quirks stood there powerless, and all without a quirk. Kid I want you to show me that same hope and determinationlike when you first asked me to unlock your sun flames all those years ago. Kid I know deep down you where always hoping that someone would tell you that you could become a hero, but let me tell you what you are doing right now, risking your own life to save another human being and that someone being a kid who has made your life miserable, even in the hands of certain death you Midoriya Izuku are a HERO!"

Those words, those words that Reborn had spoken to him ignited a spark within Midoriya fueled by ten years of repressed emotions, had caused that spark to burst into a mountain of flames, as Midoriya shouted in his mind " I CAN'T LET IT ALL END HERE! I WILL NOT DIE HERE! I WILL STOP THIS VILLAN, I WILL SAVE KACCHAN, APPLY TO U.A. ACADEMY, AND BECOME THE HERO REBORN WILL BE PROUD OF!"

Outside everyone was still reeling from the fact that a kid and a quirkless one at that had jumped into a hopeless situation to try and save the kid held hostage by the sludge monster. They had stood there watching a kid who most viewed as crazy failing in his last ditch effort to save his friend, being under the mercy of the villain as he was wrapped in sludge.

Then all of a sudden something happened.

The quirkless boy who was entangled in sludge began to glow a bright golden yellow color confusing the crowd, and pro-heroes alike. Midoriya then began to glow brighter andbrighter becoming so bright that the pro-heroes and thecrowd could no longer look directly at it comparing Midoriya to the sun.

Muddy at the center of this lightshow began to feel a sense of dread when he shouted a statement he could not finish "WHAT THE …."

At that moment the bright golden yellow light surrounding Midoriya erupted into a firestorm of the highest purity of sun flames that engulfed the entire street reachingheights that made Mt. Ladyfeel small.

The golden flames that had exploded from Midoriya consumed both Muddy and Bakugou as Muddy began to scream in agonizing pain as Muddy along with a entangled Bakugou were ejected toward the pro-heroes by the force of Midoriya's awakening.

(Imagine Midoriya's awakening similar to that of a Saiyan from Dragonball going Super Sayian)

Muddy along with Bakugou landed in front of the pro-heroes just several feet away from firestorm created by Midoriya still engulfed in golden flames as the crowd and the pro-heroes watched with astonishment. Muddy screamed in pain as a result of the golden flames with his grip on Bakugou slipping giving Bakugou a much needed chance to breathe. Shortly afterwards the sludge villain began to let out weaker and weaker cries until the sludge villain had collapsed and splattered across the ground passed out from the pain, his body badly burned with the golden flames surrounding his body extinguishing themselves after his defeat. Bakugou who had broken free from his grip and regained his footing has noticed that there were still some golden flames across half his body but much to the astonishment of him and the crowd, the flames did not burn him. Bakugou, to his confusion began to feel better and better, with the pain inflicted by the sludge villain being replaced with a feeling of warmth by the flames, as they began to extinguish themselves when their task was complete.

With the Villain subdued, and Bakugou saved, everyone's attention had been turned to the street that was currently being consumed in a blaze of gold with everything it touched being burned to ashes.

The pro-heroes quickly shifted their focus to putting out this fire and began to do what they could to stop it from spreading by grabbing fire hoses along with the help of Backdraft shooting pressurized streams of water only for the flames to quickly turn the water into steam the moment it can into contact. After that interaction a wave of golden flames then began to make it way to the crowd as people in the crowd tried to get out of the way where All Might along with a few others got consumed by the flames.

All Might closed his eyes expecting to suffer burns only for a feeling of warmth to spread across his body with the feeling most strongest coming from the wound inflicted by All For One five years giving him a light itching sensation. Confused by this strange phenomenon he slowly opened his eyes to notice that he along with the other civilians caught in the wave of fire were not harmed in any way as they looked just as confused as he was.

All Might could not believe what was going on as he thought to himself "A Flame Quirk of this power, this ferocity burning inanimate objects and people the user consider a threat?" (Direct Quote from Renew)

All Might knew that after all of this was over pro-heroes all over Japan would swarm towards Midoriya to get him as their sidekick. And when Endeavor hears of what this boy can do, he will most likely throw every resource and connection he has, fighting tooth and nail, to have this body as his sidekick.

All Might regaining his composure thought to himself as he was putting together the events that had transpired within the hour. He had meet a quirkless kid who had confessed to him about his dream of becoming a hero only for All Might to shatter that kid's dream stating his quirklessness as a liability. The same quirkless kid who had charged into a dangerous situation to save what he believe to be his friend, when no other heroes could do anything, yelling words that had made All Might realize the hypocrisy of his actions and of not putting his words to practice. A kid who looked to be on the verge of death who had suddenly began to glow a bright golden yellow color and then bursted into flames which had not only burned and incapacitated Muddy but had saved the boy being held hostage with no harm inflicted to him by the flames. A quirkless kid who had now become not so quirkless,making himself known to the entire world.

He also began to notice an important factor, that the torrent of flames in front of him was not going out, as it was continuing to spread leaving Toshinori with a fear that Midroiya could possible burn himself out from the inside by the wakening of his own quirk own quirk. Toshinori began to think hard about how he had hurt Midoriya crushing his dreams even though he was trying to protect him from the dangers of being a hero. Perhaps he could have worded what he said to him better, to where Midoriya would not be in this life threatening predicament.

Toshinori raises his head as he looks straight to where Midoriya had been before and says with a calm voice "Just because I made a mistake, doesn't mean I can't fix it" as he begins to walk towards the street painted in flames as people tell him to turn back, but Toshinori believes that he would most likely be the only one who can help Midoriya in his time of need. Toshinori does not feel the flames causing him pain and instead strangely starts to make Toshinori feel better and better with the itchy feeling toward his wound become more apparent. As he continues to walk toward Midoirya, his figure becomes enveloped in flames as the public and the heroes no longer see him.

Midoriya wakes up to discover that he is no longer in the street at the mercy of the sludge villain but instead in the void. He notices that the void is no longer entirely white, but a fusion of white and bright yellow giving Midoriya the same warm feeling as when he uses his sun flames.

Midoriya's thoughts are interrupted by a voice "Congratulates on awakening your sun flames, I'm proud of you kid."

Midoriya quickly turns hoping to see Reborn, but instead sees a tall man with curly sideburns wearing similar clothing to Reborn, with Leon the chameleon on top of his fedora.

"Reborn?" Midoriya says in astonishment.

"Surprised to see what my true form looks like kid" Reborn replies back.

Midoriya looking at Reborn in awe begins to notice that parts of his body are beginning to fade away in specks of golden light.

In fear Midoriyaasks "Re…Reborn … Reborn what's happening to you?"

"Isn't it obvious kid, I'm fading away,crossing over into the next plane of existence"

Midoriya begins to shed tears, as he sniffles "Is … Is this be...because I used my sun flames in my world? P…P….Please don't go".

"Kid, I'm sorry that I am going to have to leave you, but this was probably going to happen eventually, considering your nature and pension to attract danger leading to life and death situations".

Midoriya begins to realize "Wait you knew, you knew that my sun flames would awaken if I became engaged in life or death situations, why…whydidn't you tell me".

Reborn looks at him slightly frowning "Kid, you honestly think I was going to tell you that so you would go out into dangerous situations playing Russian Roulette with your life. Ifigured given your caring nature, and stubborn will you were going to unlock your flames eventually"

Before Midoriya can say anything Reborn interrupts him "Look kid, I don't have much time before I cross over, and I know you were always curious about who I was so listen up, I won't have a chance to say this again".

Reborn begins to tell him about his whole life in his world from being known as the World's Greatest Hitman, his relationship with the Vongola Family, to the raising of this two students Dino Chiavarone, and Tsuna Sawada.

Half of Reborn's body had already faded away, as he then raises a finger with a ball of golden light forming at the tip which he thenpresses against Midoriya's forehead. "Thanks to the void's properties I am giving you the power of my sun flames and my memories inhopes that you will use them to become a great hero".

Midoriya begins to cry "Please don't go, Please don't leave me".

Reborn then gets on one knee still dissolving his eyes looking directly at Midoriya and says "Midoriya Kid, I want you to know something. I want you to know that I have enjoyed the time we have spent together. I want you to know I am proud of your determination to push forward. I am proud that even in the face of constant opposition you still carried with you a strong desire to help others. And I want you to know that as long as you remember me, a part of me will continue to live on through you".

Midoriya then charges toward Reborngiving him a hug with Reborn then placing his hand on his forehead rubbing it saying "Kid, I know you will become a great hero and know that I will be watching you every step of the way."

Shortly after that sentence Reborn along with Leon dissolve completely into golden flakesleaving behind a crying Midoriya who finds himself back on the street, golden flames burning around him brightly.

Toshinori continues walking till suddenly he hears tears being shed, causing him to run towards the source of the crying.

He then finds Midoriya standing in middle of this firestorm looking at the ground crying. Toshinori looks confused at this scene and thinks "Why is he crying, he had saved his friend, stopped Muddy, and had awakened apowerful quirk thatwill make every hero agency welcome him with open arms, so why is he crying as if he has lost something near and dear to him."

Toshinori stares at Midoriya not sure of what to do next, until he remembers something his teacher and previous owner of One For All told him.

Knowing what to do he stands in front of Midoriya and lightly taps his shoulders causing Midoriya to look at him with tears flowing from his eyes.

Toshinori smiles "Midoriya you will be alright. Why? Because I am Here."

The power of those words hadresonated something inside of Midoriya causing all of the golden flames surrounding them to disappear.

Midoriya looks at Toshinori forming a smile of his own, before passing out.

Thanks to his fast reflexes at that moment Toshinori had caught Midoriya, sparing him a painful encounter with the sidewalk holding the green haired boy tightly in his arms.

Toshinori holding on to the boy for dear life, looks around to see countless eyes staring at him from the heroes to the citizens, looking at his deflated form.

And then to his surprise they all begin to cheer loudly applauding him for his bravery.

This was a strange feeling for him as he was used to this form of positive reinforcement when he was All Might, but getting it while in his deflated form made him feel as if was a new experience for him.

The pieces of Muddy that laid near the entrance of the street were picked up heroes, and placed into containers.

Bakugou was examined and questioned about his experience with some giving him praise on his quirk though he gave it no mind. Bakugou much like most of the people there mainly focused their attention on a unconscious Midoriya being placed into an ambulance with Toshinori accompanying him and taken off for Medical Treatment.

Bakugou looked at the ambulance driving away, wondering "Did that quirkless Deku have a quirk all along" as similar questions followed through his mind.

The media along with some people in the crowd who had taken footage of this whole event, proceeded to broadcast it on television and uploaded to the internet.

People throughout the world were going nuts over Midoriya who after investigating his background had discovered that the boy was previously diagnosed as quirkless. This had sent shockwaves across the globe, that a boy diagnosed as quirkless, never to possess a quirkhad awakened to such a powerful, versatile, and by some a beautiful fire quirk. Videos of the event very displayed in full view from the destruction caused by the fire, the burning of the sludge villain, to the flames burning on a boy leaving him unarmed. People also began to realize that if this was the result of the quirk activating within the boy, what could the quirk be capable of when trained.

One of those viewers was sitting in a dark lit room with a severed hand attached to his face who began to smile

"Looks like a Golden Egg has fallen from the heavens for some brave adventurer to claim for themselves".

As a side note, as this is my first fanfiction, I was trying to limit grammar and spelling mistakes (though there are still going to be some), while going into detail on this story, and man is it hard. If there is a story you like and you see them putting a lot of hard work into it let them know you care.

A Personal shout out to Mugiwara N0 Luffy and his amazing crossover "Thieves Can Be Heroes!" as putting Midoriya as the main character of Persona 5 in the world of My Hero Academia is such an enjoyable read.

I not sure on the direction readerdreamer5625 story will go with "Renew" but in myversion, I was thinking about makingIzuku OP to where his sun flames have evolved becoming incredible powerful when transferring to his world giving it powers away from its canon counterpart, but not to OP to where villains and heroes will have to try and adapt to this powerful new variable as well as seeing the same shy and troubled boy getting into all kinds of trouble we have all come to enjoy. As his sun flames are highly desired by many he will be bombarded by heroes, villains, the media, citizens, and perhaps quirkless groups hoping to use him as a symbol for change. And especially All for One trying to get his hands on it (what a surprise it will be for him to discover that he can't take it because it is not a quirk, though everyone in this world will still think it is).

I was also thinking of perhaps looking at other anime characters who have used fire as their main form of attack such as Ace from One Piece, or even monsters like in pokemon or digimon having him use those same attacks and naming them the same.

Go nuts, and give your support.

Thank you
