Chapter 1: Awakening Will
All Midoriya Izuku wanted was to be a hero. A great hero who would smile proudly while saving others.
He would never be able to fulfill that wish. He tried his best, studying heroes and analyzing them in his notebook, but he could never be a hero. Why?
He was quirkless after all.
Speaking of notebooks, Izuku stared at the burnt remains of his notebook. He had planned to write in it later today, but now it bobbed gently in water as fish nibbled at it.
"That's not fish food, damnit." The boy muttered. His eyes were downcast, teeth firmly biting his lips. Damnit Kacchan, if I jumped you'd be accused for instigating a suicide. Why the hell did you say that?
Izuku looked at the school gate. The day had just ended and many students began to walk out of school. Nobody even cared about what Kacchan had just said to him. Of course nobody cares about quirkless Deku. After that sordid thought he began walking home. As usual he was lost in thoughts, thinking about his quirklessness.
He was always inspired by All Might, the symbol of peace and number one hero, the video of his debut as a hero always inspired Izuku to strive towards becoming a great hero. To learn that he was quirkless had broken his heart, but what had broken his heart even more was…
That line of thought was broken with a loud metallic bang. "A small sized invisibility cloak! Great! Heh heh heh!" Izuku turned face-to-face with a disgusting slime man, his body oozed and in a quick ripple he surged towards Izuku, dragging the boy's body into a nearby alley.
A villain! I don't want to die! Izuku desperately tugged at the slime blocking his mouth, but it was no use, the boy couldn't get a solid grasp anywhere!
"Stop struggling! It'll only hurt for about a minute and then the pain will go all away!" He chuckled. "You're my hero! After I take over your body I should be able to get away from that man. Just a little bit longer!"
I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Tears were pouring down Izuku's face. I don't want it to end like this! Before I could even try becoming a hero!
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye he noticed a shining light hidden behind trash. It stuck out to him, like a beacon, shining a bright blue color. The more he stared at it the brighter it seemed to become. What is this? An inexplicable surge of hope flowed through his body and he reached out to the light.
"Ha ha! You must've gone crazy already kid!"
Izuku ignored the villain's chatter squeezing through the garbage to reach out to the light. He felt something ooze as he pushed it out of the way to get to the light. Maybe he would have felt disgust, if he wasn't already covered in slime. Suddenly he felt it.
"What are you even do-"
A surge of pure power burst through the area around him instantly splattering the villain choking him. Izuku's body was completely freed from the villains grasp and he fell forward clutching the shining object. The boy panted and coughed, getting the remaining slime out of his throat. I can't believe I survived. He brought the object in his hands close to his face to examine it. What is this thing?
It was strangely "O" shaped and looked to be made out of some high tech metal and materials. It almost looks like a metallic face is staring back at me. It was no longer shining, but a blue crystal at the forehead of the "face" looked like it was the source of the light. Did this save me? But how? Izuku continued pondering but was interrupted.
A metallic clang ringed out.
"It's all right! I am here!" A boisterous voice shouted. In a flurry of wind a large figure appeared in the alleyway.
It was All Might. He was in civilian clothes, but it was still All Might!
"Wuh-what!" Izuku stuttered.
"Thank goodness you're all right! Did you take care of this villain on your own?" All Might offered a hand to Izuku, who was still dazed on the floor.
"All-All Might!" Izuku whimpered. "Wait, the villain!" Izuku whirled around gazing at the splattered body of the villain. "Did I…" The boy's body started trembling.
"Don't worry! He's just unconscious. You really helped me out young man! Thank you!" All Might patted Izuku on the shoulder while gesturing to the villain. "Now I need to bring this guy to the police…" The hero muttered as he poured soda out of a bottle and began scooping the villain's body with remarkable speed.
I can't believe it! All Might thanking me! Even though I didn't do anything. Izuku paused. Wait a minute, where did that "O" shaped thing go? Izuku quickly looked around but couldn't see it anywhere. I should have been holding it this whole time…
"Oh! Young man, are you a fan of heroes?" All Might called to Izuku again. He held the boy's notebook in one hand and the villain in a bottle in the other.
"You're already finished collecting him? Wow!" Izuku muttered. "Oh uh yeah! I want to become a hero someday!"
"That's great! I'll leave my autograph in this notebook. With a powerful quirk like your's, you could be a great hero! Now I must go!" All Might gave a quick wave and jumped away. Just like that.
"Wait!" Izuku yelped and tried to run forward but fell over a trash bag. "But I don't even have a quirk…"
Izuku flopped over, facing the sky from the alleyway. What was all that! First that villain, then that object, and then even All Might appeared! He could still remember that feeling of power rush through him when he first touched the strange object. The ground around him shook abruptly and he felt something strange around his body.
"What!" The boy panicked and tried to stand but stumbled a bit. His sense of balance had become way off! He fell and the ground shook. The boy fell near a puddle. Izuku's throat hitched.
Reflected in the puddle was not an image of a freckled, green haired boy. A scary black and red metal helmet stared back from the reflection. A long mane of spiked purple hair jetted out of it and thick armor completely covered the rest of his body as well.
If Izuku was a bit more like his mother he might have just fainted right there. As it was he was having trouble remembering to breathe. Is this me? Did I suddenly unlock a quirk?! Izuku thought to himself for a bit. No wait, I was thinking about that object when this happened. Izuku finally managed to regain his balance and stand, the ground shuddering a bit. He was shocked at how tall he stood now. I'm even taller than All Might! And my hands! Izuku noted in shock that the gauntlets of his armor were not directly attached to the main body of his armor. It still moves and feels almost like regular hands… except regular hands don't levitate.
Izuku peeked out of the alleyway and noticed a small crowd of people had formed. No doubt they must have heard rumors of All Might being here. I can't go home like this! Wait! This happened after I thought about that object. If I remember that feeling again, maybe I can switch back to normal!
Sure enough the armor had vanished and Izuku gently fell to the floor, almost as if gravity had been lowered temporarily. Woah. So it really was that thing! That was amazing! Izuku began walking out of the alleyway, pushing through a disappointed crowd of fans as he made his way home.
With this power, maybe I really can become a hero! Izuku remembered All Might's words: "You could be a great hero!" Even All Might said it. I can do this! With this power I'll become a great hero!
"Ahahahahahaha!" Izuku laughed, mimicking All Might. The people nearby him gave him odd looks but Izuku didn't care! He finally had a shot at his dream! He would make this dream a reality, no matter what others thought of him!
Shortly after his laughter died down, and Izuku walked home quietly. It all passed by quickly compared to the mayhem from before and soon enough he was back at the apartment.
He greeted his mother and they ate dinner together. I can't tell her about this yet, not until I know more about what this power is. What that object is. For now I'll pretend nothing happened today.
With dinner finished Izuku went to his bedroom to sleep, telling his mother that he felt tired today. At least it isn't a lie. He soon fell asleep dreaming about All Might and becoming a hero. He also dreamed of a name, Omega.
AN: First of all I do not claim to own anything from My Hero Academia or any of the Mega Man series. Now with that out of the way I will admit that I was partially inspired to write this by the Mega Man Deku fic but I actually had this idea for a while and only decided to publish it seeing another person publish a similar story. I'm not too sure about including other biometals in this story but if I do they won't be in any of the U.A. staff or students' hands. I could also write about how Model O ended up in this universe but that isn't all that important. The idea I had behind it is that since the fight against Model O takes place in Area N, a place that is essentially in a cyber dimension, it could stand to reason that it might be able to cross dimensions from there. If any of you have any questions just put them in the reviews and I'll try answering them next chapter. Next chapter will be about Izuku exploring Model O's powers, as you can see for now he can only use the outer armor. That'll change later.
If you liked this story please leave a review! If you think there's anything I can improve on please leave a review! Even if you hate this story please leave a review telling me what I did wrong! Thank you!
