Alrain: So here we are back to Gashadokuro, and let's just say that there will be something like mentioning of Gods and such things.
Izuku: It is getting boring of how everything goes cannon and sometimes small changes are likable, but sometimes they are predictable so we try to take a different approach.

Pacific Sea.
"This is ridiculous, Garo," said Izuku walking underneath the water inside the ribcage of Garo who walked in his full-size underwater. Slight rumbles were sent into the ground and the creepy and shaky crackling of bones made the inhabitants of the water swim away, as Garo was walking without any trouble of seeing this all or that he just didn't bother at all to see all of the fish and other predators of the sea swim away from him.
"Sorry, but the feeling of some type of energy was just too great for someone like me to ignore, and we won't be the only ones to ignore this," apologized Garo for shaking Izuku in the middle of the night to go into the sea and into the direction of the middle of the sea, it was so sudden that Izuku got scooped out of the bed by the gigantic hand of Garo and now they were walking in the Pacific Sea.
After a few hours of walking, Garo stopped walking and Izuku who didn't bother to look where they are was using the notes of his telephone to write some training exercises, he may have been able to summon Garo...but there was a giant weakness to it as maintaining the gigantic form was difficult and it gave him some headaches so he decided to use a depowered form of Garo to maintain and make use of his Quirk.
"The weakness of my Quirk...as long as I don't get angry or something like that you won't go out of control?" asked Izuku who was still nervous to talk about the weakness of his Quirk when Garo bluntly told him what the weakness was.
"Yeah, and since I was a former farmer that hated the Samurai for their arrogance and so you need to stay away from them...otherwise they might get a knuckle sandwich which I highly doubt that it will be hero behavior or something you would've wanted to have said about you," it was a tight spot for Izuku since he was classified as Quirkless and now recently classified having a Quirk that can have potential to go against a Pro Heroine like Ryukyu.
"I get it but I am not going to ask if that can be stopped since hate hold in so long must be released so we need to find some opportunity to not make us go on a rampage," hate bottled up for so long only to have it taken away from you would result in even greater rage and hate combined, he had to find a way to get rid of that rage because he felt it and it didn't harm him in any way...well count out the fact that the bottled up rage and hate left him with a slight searing burning heat in his stomach.
"There is a way to actually get rid of the rage," answered Garo as he sprouted out a skeleton arm inside the ribcage and took the phone of Izuku and began scrolling and searching inside of it and he has found something that made him cackle a little bit. "I have found a way~!"
"And what is that way?" asked Izuku now very worried of what they might have to do.
"Well, now that I think about it how we are going to do it or in this case, it is easier said than done for the both of us," said Garo and suddenly the gigantic skeleton frame's energy began to fade a little bit. "But now we have to go back to land if we don't want to drown!"
"What!? You meant that you knew that I would drown despite the fact that you know that you die if I die!?" shouted Izuku with disbelief on how Garo could be so wise and yet so dumb.
"Uhm, I am a farmer and Japanese and we are known to act a little bit on our emotions sans if you are a Samurai with full years of disciplined training," answered Garo sheepishly but Izuku already began to swim upwards when Garo laughed a little when he answered his question and the purple energy began to even fade more prompting to motivate Izuku to swim faster and faster and was able to almost reach the surface.
"GUAH! Next time I make the decisions, Garo!" roared Izuku in rage making Garo cringe as his former instincts truly brought them into trouble.
"...Sorry, those times were times that men were very arrogant and acted in rage instead of thinking through things but don't worry about women! I have never seen them as the weaker and obedient version of humans!" defended Garo himself as he reminded his former life and how he was like and he wasn't proud at all and even as an old man he was quite arrogant and hated himself for it.
Izuku growled at that as the history of Japan was not the brightest one especially for women and what they suffered through and in a way, Izuku hated Garo in a way as the Farmers never did anything to make it easier for them and wives looked more like slaves then beloved ones. "So your only doing this because you want to redeem yourself!?"
"Used to but now for punishment as I can't let go of some memories and also the reason why I am not reacting in rage, you have to lucky that your Quirk as what the people call it isn't a Samurai based one," said Garo as the giant skeleton frame was lying down on the water and Garo moved his body and swam back to Japan as Izuku let Garo handle the swimming as he felt drained, he was lucky that he wasn't any older meaning he would've missed a school day.
"Our training will be one a less dangerous place that could kill us both," said Izuku with a slight growl making Garo nod.
Beach.
Having arrived back at home Izuku was lucky that his mom was still asleep and he got himself some hours of sleep as the energy he emitted was still in its raw energy, making it hard for him to use it since he just got his Quirk recently. He needed to find a way to use his Quirk in a different way as remaining in that Giant form was actually the strongest form, though having awakened it with only half that body there was a slight weakness to it.
Half the body was a bit slow and remaining that form wasn't that hard it lacked a bit in speed, it was dependent on Izuku's motions and if someone got too close that wouldn't be much of a problem since he could retreat into the ribcage. So the only weakness it had was speed and Izuku decided when he would summon the upper half of the body and stay in the ribcage.
Now he was in the park thinking about how he should use his Quirk that wouldn't take too much space and energy and at the same time functionally, so he had to think of something now if he wanted to become a hero. 'Garo, I can only summon a gigantic form of you or can I summon a smaller version of you?'
'Not really, you can adjust the size and it would take less energy to do it and maintain it and all of that,' answered Garo mentally as he tested it out and bones sprouted from the back of Izuku and slowly ribs were formed on him and it was kind of lame as it didn't protect a lot though it did cover his fists and feet meaning he could kick and punch harder.
"Urgh!" this is not going to help me at all!" complained the young boy as he wanted the bones to go further, calming himself down he knew it didn't lie within him as the Quirk is still young and inexperienced like himself.
Now wasn't the time to get angry as he had many years now to hone and train his Quirk to forge the metal in a katana and not a double-edged blade, and Katsuki would not be here to see him train or interrupt him in anything or bother him. Patience was to Izuku literally the key as he needed to be patient and not easy to rill up like Katsuki as Garo warned him that his main weakness was that he had small anger issues and his anger issues never properly disappeared even after several hundred years.
"I need a trainer, but who can train me now as I am?" wondered Izuku as his trainer couldn't possibly fall next to him or something like that.
*BOOM!*
"Uwah!" yelled Izuku in surprise as something next to him exploded and erupted a lot of sand into the air and some of it landed onto Izuku who was already jumping around to get the sand out of his clothes and off of his clothes, what kind of person would come from a high altitude and lands on the Beach without looking if there are any people around? Although he wasn't at fault Garo certainly was at fault as no kid should be this early up and much less be on the beach without a supervisor.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there," came a feminine voice and Izuku looked up to see a beautiful woman wearing a Chinese Dress and had sharp teeth and wearing a headband that contained 4 claws. It was the Number 10 Heroine Ryukyu and Izuku merely gawked that luck was on his side as he got to meet the Heroine with an Ancient Quirk like him!
"Kid?" asked Ryukyu as she looks at the startled face of Izuku and she hoped she hasn't scared the boy too much and that was actually unconscious.
"I-It was no problem, y-you're Ryukyu the Pro Heroine and the Number 10 Hero as well as the 2nd one of the Heroines!" began Izuku excited as part of his obsession with heroes came back, realizing his otaku-side was coming back he got red in the face and immediately killed all his excitement down as he needed to seize this opportunity right now.
"C-Can I ask you something!" asked Izuku.
"Want my autograph?" asked Ryukyu dismissively.
Well, that was actually the first thing he would've asked if he was still Quirkless but he immediately pushed that thought aside as well and shook his head surprising the Pro Heroine a lot. "N-No, I wanted to ask you if you could train me...since my Quirk is a Mythological Quirk,"
"Sure," was the quick reply and Izuku looked baffled how quick she accepted it.
"T-That easily? No thinking about it that I have a rather weak Mythological Quirk?" asked Izuku perplexed and got simply another nod from the Pro Heroine, he expected it to be hard and not this easily this chance given to him.
"Not at all, but you will have to be registered and if you show me good promise with your Quirk I can recommend you to UA," said Ryukyu laughing at the perplexed gaze of Izuku.
"So...when do we actually start?" asked Izuku as he wanted to get prepared as possible and a Pro Heroine as Ryukyu could possibly not have a lot of free time considering her career.
"Hm? I can take you now in and register as my student, you will be getting schooled there instead of a public school but I need to ask you what your Mythological Quirk is," asked Ryukyu.
At that Izuku stood a bit taller when she asked that. "My Mythological Quirk allows me to summon a Gashadokuro, the weakness is that I have to be careful with not getting angry,"
"A Gashadokuro~?"
"Y-Yes, mam!" she was so composed and not even surprised that was a Pro Heroine for you.
Although what Ryukyu was thinking was that by almost giving a kid a heart attack allowed her to find a child with a powerful Quirk and it would be even more powerful if it was trained well. "Okay, I will accept you as my Apprentice and all we need to do is register you as one of mine,"
"One of yours? So you already have some apprentices?" asked Izuku.
"Yes, I do have and don't ask too much since that is an invasion of privacy," said Ryukyu and then she transformed into her dragon form without warning and grabbed Izuku and took off in the air making him scream.
Registration Building.
'I wonder if I will regret this since she is not very delicate, then again when were dragons described as Delicate beings?' groaned Izuku as he lied down on the sofa as Ryukyu went too fast and the loops she made might have not been such a good idea as he puked in mid-air, and they were flying above the city and the obvious scream made it clear it landed on someone and that made Ryukyu fly faster to avoid being seen.
He would prefer any vehicle to travel than to ever travel again on Ryukyu's back.
"A-Are you okay?" asked a boy with black hair.
"N-No, I-I had a rough journey on the back of a Dragon Lady," replied Izuku still looking green.
"Oh, it seems that Ryukyu-sensei did the same again," said Tamaki remembering his experience on riding on the back of Ryukyu and it was pleasant for Mirio and Nejire it wasn't for him as he had eaten lunch at the time and puked, it didn't land safely as the scream came confirming him that he had hit someone with his puke and it only made him feel more nauseous. "I am Tamaki Amakiji, nice to meet you...?"
"I-Izuku, Izuku Midoriya," said Izuku and waved to Tamaki who understood and moved a few steps back, he had done the same thing when somebody tried to get close to him and the person was lucky to have understood him.
"Blergh!" Izuku puked again in the nearby trashcan and already somebody went to go and replace the sack. "I-I guess that I wasn't the only one that had a rough trip on Ryukyu-nee's back,"
"Nope, you aren't the only one and there is special hiring to replace the trashcans for the newcomers," replied Tamaki who gave Izuku a bottle of water which he gratefully took and there was even a trashcan to spit in for him.
"I got that idea when I saw that no one looked weird at me," commented Izuku as his stomach finally calmed down and allowed him to sit straight and see who was in front of him. "I guess your one of her Apprentices or students as the modern term is used,"
Yeah, it seems that having Garo inside of him also affected his language and way of speaking, the word Apprentice was another word used as a student in the Medieval times, luckily Tamaki didn't seem to be bothered by it but Izuku still wanted to clear it. "Sorry for my way of speaking, but my Quirk affects me also a bit in my way of speaking,"
"Ah, I didn't notice that," said Tamaki but now that he thought about it the word Apprentice was rarely used these days. "So you're going to be the newest addition to the team?"
"I think so since my Quirk is classified as a Mythological one and I was lucky to be accepted," said Izuku.
"And what is your Quirk?" asked Tamaki very interested since Ryukyu wasn't that easily convinced, he could see that Izuku was very humble about his Quirk and didn't brag about it so he must have spoken to Ryukyu in a very respectful way and not in an arrogant or too prideful way that he would become very famous.
"My Quirk allows me to summon a Gashadokuro, though I am a late bloomer," added Izuku the last part in and Tamaki then understood and saw the reason that Ryukyu accepted him, he must have been bullied for some time meaning that he never fitted anywhere.
Late Bloomers would become the Greatest heroes of all time since they have learned how to be humble as the friends and classmates they have shown their true colors to them, shock and betrayal would go through them and it would make them think and ask their friends and then they easily tell the truth to him or her.
"So what does your Quirk do?" asked Izuku curiously.
"You'll have to wait and see," said Tamaki and left Izuku with his curiosity not satisfied.
"Hey, be at least happy you talked to someone without stuttering or go in otaku mode...which is annoying as hell and creepy as fuck!" said Garo immediately calming Izuku down with his embarrassment since his looks wouldn't sit well with his excitement, he had to get rid of the excitement and act properly as a normal child.
'Shut it,'
"I do remember someone drooling at a video of All Might saving some people~!" said Garo sinisterly and Izuku immediately shut his own mouth knowing Garo would definitely tell someone if he were to insult him, and he DEFINITELY didn't want anyone to know about his embarrassing side which many have pointed out, and it was bad enough that he remembers every time he got like that and that even his mom pointed it out.
"And you only tend to look at the positive side and don't even know the weaknesses," he was right again that he only looked at the positive side of Quirks and didn't even bother to look what their weaknesses are which was vital information in battle, the second option Izuku wanted to be was a Support Hero and do research of Quirks.
"I'm back and there has been something going on, they are a bit tired of me suddenly taking apprentices even if I have many good ones," said Ryukyu informing Izuku who had his full attention to each of her words.
"So...do I need to pass a test or something?" asked Izuku.
"Yes, you simply need to battle a Pro Hero and prove yourself," said Ryukyu casually while Izuku's jaw pretty much hit the ground.
"M-Me battling a Pro Hero!? Do they expect me to beat him or her or something like that?!" said Izuku who walked next to her.
"You don't have to beat a Pro Hero instead you need to be able to hold your own for a few minutes, show skills, and some other things that are necessary to become a hero," said Ryukyu.
'I don't know if I made the best choice in my life or the biggest mistake in my life Garo, what do you think?' asked Izuku as he had streams of tears flowing out of his eyes and this time they were actually allowed to stream since this was something far bigger than Katsuki (That part was most of his childishness killed off.) and now he had to battle so soon with just a little experience with his Quirk?!
He wanted only some training and tips and nothing further than that! Not to expect to become an Apprentice (He really needed to stop using such words.) of a Pro Heroine and one in the top 10!
"I honestly don't know if you made a good choice or mistake if I had to choose then I will say you had incredibly bad luck," answered Garo.
Room.
"Okay, okay, calm down as you only need to be able to hang on for 3 minutes," said Izuku to himself as he was now in a completely white room made of some alloy that looked strong and brittle at the same time, like some training room that was used for space battle. "The only question is that who I have to battle,"
"And lucky for you, you didn't even jinx yourself," said Garo who sighed in relief that Izuku wasn't an optimistic person.
"I am going to fight you and determine if you are worthy to become a student underneath Ryukyu-sama," said the person and Izuku looked at who he had to battle and it was a girl with long black hair and red eyes and she looked beautiful and the room seemingly got darker when she entered, Izuku's heart beat a bit faster at the sight of the beautiful girl and her eyes that looked like blood-red Rubies.
"My name is Tokoyami Fumikage, just call me Yami," said the girl and Izuku nodded as she gave off the feeling and impression that she was not a girl to be messed with, well, the red eyes pretty much told him that if you did take her lightly you would die but the question was why he never heard of her since he was told that he would be fighting a Pro Hero or Heroine.
"Yeah, don't be confused since Yami-chan over her has the skills of a Pro Heroine and even beat some of the younger generation heroes," said Ryukyu through the comlink and that gave Izuku his answer to his question that didn't make him any less scared, he was fighting someone of his age that had the skills of a Pro Heroine meaning it was going to be even harder for him.
"Now let the battle commence!"
"Dark Shadow!" Yami released a black wave and a giant shadow in the shape of a bird came out of her and made a sign of a falcon (Captain Falcon's Emblem.) and then the wings turned into claws and went straight forward to slash at Izuku.
"GARO!"
"HERE!" shouted Garo coming from behind Izuku and dirt got out of nowhere and Garo came out and crossed his arms as Izuku did it and blocked the claws, Garo opened his mouth and fired off a purple beam that made Yami dodge and not in the way Izuku expected as Dark Shadow's arms placed themselves on the ground and launched Yami off the ground, diving forward Tokoyami twisted her body and kicked Izuku who was caught off guard. "Keep your head straight! You can later study her powers!"
'Although, that wasn't what I wanted to say,' thought Garo who found a way to avoid that Izuku could hear his thoughts, he actually wanted to say that he could later look underneath the cloak of Yami who's attire pretty much made her look sexy as hell. It was black, almost all of her attire is black except for the few ornaments like some birds and chains, a fake black leather short skirt that showed off her long smooth pale legs off and provided good mobility despite that it was a skirt, a black jacket that wasn't too big and looked combined with a military outfit, and a mask to top it off that was black as well and in a similar shape as a butterfly.
"R-Right!" said Izuku and commanded Garo to take a few swings and they looked powerful but it was rather slow and Yami's small form alongside that of Dark Shadow made it hard to hit her and she was able to dodge them all the swings, that alone made Izuku grit that he wasn't making a good impression so he needed to be clever and he was getting tired as well. 'I can never hold it this long with maintaining this form...but I can't afford to lose since I need the training!'
Training a Mythological Quirk was incredibly hard to do and especially one that has little experience or knowledge to handle it.
'Garo, remember what I told you about adjusting our size does that mean the strength will be adjusted?' thought Izuku starting a mental conversation and merely crossed his arms just allowing himself to be hit by Yami.
"Doing that allows you to stay longer in combat and use the mystic energy since it isn't necessary for me to keep the bones functioning without muscles...but now that I think about it I think strength will be less but durability and speed will be increased as well as maneuverability will stay the same," answered Garo back to Izuku who smirked and then Garo made inside his head a realizing sound and nodded and began to work on it.
By Ryukyu, there were a few other Pro Heroes standing by her and saw the fight happening and despite the Mythological Quirk and despite that, they saw that the fight was rather one-sided with only Izuku on the defense while Yami was on the offense.
"Ryukyu, this kid can clearly not make it since he is only on the defensive!" growled Endeavor.
"It is not about whether he gets a hit or defeats her, Endeavor, but merely how long he can last and despite the low experience he had with his Quirk it is nothing he can blame on himself," said Sir. Nighteye.
"I think he will make it!" said Mirio.
"What's makes you so sure! The kid may have a Mythological Quirk but that itself is a weakness! A child is never interested in History so he must only rely on physical attacks and with that speed, he will never hit her!" said Endeavor who scoffed seeing that the battle was drawing on its end as Izuku looked rather tired, meaning it was a draining type of Quirk instead one that required control or focus.
Back to the fight, Izuku had his eyes closed and sweat rolled off his head as Yami's strikes were meeting with Garo's body with full power but he did actually feel that there was less and less power and that Yami was focusing on speed and aiming at the weaker spots, the spine to make the entire skeleton structure get destroyed and collapse allowing her to strike him. He could feel the less and less power she put in every place and aimed it for one place and Yami was taller a bit older then him meaning she would try to take him out in close-combat without Dark Shadow.
"It's ready!" said Garo.
'Pull back all the remaining energy for long-ranged attacks!' the energy was still present and merely existed to protect Izuku from incoming attacks and uphold the structure of his skeleton, the energy could serve for different purposes and now the purple light faded away and retracted back into the ribcage and Izuku was out of sight.
'Why would he do that?' wondered Yami as the spine was now easier for Dark Shadow to break.
"Who cares! The boy is dead!" shouted Dark Shadow with her feminine voice.
The spine was broken and the skeleton collapsed and Yami shoved with Dark Shadow all the bone away and struck in the middle with Dark Shadow's fist, the fight was over and Yami merely sighed hoping that she would get a challenge and perhaps another friend to train along with. She couldn't have everything and was about to leave until Dark Shadow said something to her that made her eyes widen up. 'You don't feel what!?'
The bones underneath Yami moved and exploded and launched Yami back who landed perfectly with the aid of Dark Shadow and looked up to see a fist coming out of the mess.
"Agh! Just in time, I finished the bone armor," commented Izuku who was in full-clad bone armor and looked perfectly fine even being struck by Dark Shadow.
"H-How?" muttered Yami.
"Just adjusting size which I had never practiced before yet since Ryukyu-sensei came in the time I wanted to test it out, now I know it does work instead of years of control," said Izuku who flexed his whole body and checked if there was anything wrong. "Now time to fight!"
Sending himself flying thanks to the bones being at a more concentrated level Izuku was just in time to reach Yami and punched her, but she leans to the left making his incoming fist meet her shoulder but it still hurts and Dark Shadow wasted too much time being in the light meaning her speed dropped a little bit. He went for a second punch but Yami wasn't done yet as she did the split and make Izuku tumble backward and quickly kicked the places that weren't covered in bone.
Izuku wasn't done yet and even if he would lose to her he wouldn't be mad at all, getting back up Izuku held his hands out and shot purple colored skulls at Yami although poorly aimed it still landed near her and exploded in small explosions that left a purple mist behind.
That wasn't smart as the light died a bit down due to the purple not being a light shade and a dark shade that allowed Dark Shadow to reenergize quickly and launched forward striking Izuku across the chest, she did it again and again and the last one sent him flying a bit but making a dive he lessened the impact and jumped forward and punched Dark Shadow across her face and tackled Yami with his shoulder.
Yami only let a second surprise her before bending forward forcing her protesting muscles to obey and made Izuku land face-first on the ground and held him tightly so he couldn't move from the ground and locked his arms with Dark Shadow. The fight was really great and he had proven himself in her eyes that he would be a great asset, though he still failed at lasting as long against her and merely watches as the last seconds were counted down. "H-Heh! I-I win!"
"Y-You did, if I only had an f-few more seconds," muttered Izuku who thought he got the edge now but since it was his first time fighting up close against someone with combat experience it made him nervous, and the weight of his armor was something he wasn't used to as he had pretty much non-existent muscles to uphold the weight. But Yami looked confused that he said he needed a few more seconds and then felt something touching her leg and looked down to see several skeleton arms popping out of the purple energy ready to grab her and they could but stopped when the time was over.
'Oh, well, I did my best at least and it did give me more insight about myself and the Quirk's abilities,' thought Izuku as he let the bones retract back into the nothingness, he was sad but satisfied that he got so much information and it motivated him to do better. 'Thank you, Garo, without your help I would've lost way earlier,'
"Izuku..." muttered Garo feeling that he had failed him into getting the teachings because all he had been doing was shouting at him.
"You passed," came the voice of Ryukyu.
"Heh?" said Izuku opening his eyes in a confused gaze.
Alrain: Yep, was able to update this story and I am still working things out as the exams are still going and also the poll is closed of what type of Quirk Izuku has, now the new poll are examples send to me by PM's though there was only 1...so I made 2 by myself. And sorry that it wasn't visible to any of you but now it is visible!
