Chapter Start!

Izuku stared up at Rezan, a smile on his face. He had spoken with all nine of the wild gods, know known as Loa, and had made up his mind. A single name was rolling through his mind.

"I can see you've made your choice," Rezan spoke, looking down at Izuku.

"Yep," Izuku said, his smile still as bright.

"Speak their name and become their Avatar," Rezan spoke.

"Loa of Storms and New Beginnings, Akunda," Izuku smiled.

"We will do great things together," Akunda spoke as the massive thunder lizard stepped forward.

"What happens now?" Izuku asked.

"Now my power becomes yours," Akunda spoke as storm clouds formed about the two. Lightning danced through the clouds, all moving towards the spot above Izuku.

"Wow," Izuku said, looking up towards the storm.

"Become one with the storm!" Akunda shouted as all the coalescing lightning shot down towards the boy.

"Ah!" Izuku cried out in shock as the lightning struck him. To his surprise, he felt no damage. Instead, the lighting flowed into his body, changing him. A slight dull throb ran down his spine and his through his skull. As quickly as the lighting started, it stopped.

Izuku looked down at his hands, seeing they had shifted into claws. His shoes had been torn away replaced by clawed feet as well. His head snapped up as he felt a new appendage. Looking over his shoulder, the slight of a newly grown tail welcomed him.

"I have a tail!" Izuku shouted in shock. Izuku ran his hands into his hair to see if he grew anything remembering the dull throb in his head. To his amazement, he found a pair of horns.

"You are now The Champion of Akuna, Chosen of the Loa, First of the Loa Priests," Rezan spoke.

"Loa Priest?" Izuku asked.

"As a Loa Priest, you will be able to ask the aid of any of us. As my Champion, I will answer first unless my aid would not help," Akunda explained.

"I think I understand," Izuku said.

"Worry not for now. Rest, return home, we will speak soon," Akunda said as the world around Izuku spun and faded away.

~The Park~

Izuku sat up slowly, his mind fuzzy. Was it all a dream? It was proven very real when he looked to his hands. They were still claw-like. It wasn't a dream.

"How long are you going to sit there, poor-mon?" Izuku's attention shot back towards the bushes he'd met Jani in. Sure enough, the small form of Jani stepped out.

"Jani?" Izuku asked, confused as to why the Loa was there.

"Ol' Jani was asked to watch over you... think of me like a companion that can talk," Jani said before jumping and landing on izuku's head.

"Oh! So cool!" Izuku shouted. "I can't wait to show Mom!" He added before running from the park.

~Home~

"Mom!" Izuku shouted as he ran into his home. "You have to see this!"

"See wha... IZUKU!" Inko screamed, seeing her son round the corner, looking massively different. He had a pair of horns and a long tail now. She was about to hug Izuku when she saw a lizard sitting on his head.

"Izuku... where did you find the lizard?" Inko asked.

"Ol' Jani can explain that," Inko promptly lost her shit.

After a very long talk and a lot of tears, Inko finally had the whole story. Her son had been chosen to be the Avatar of a Loa called Akunda. And in becoming said Loa's Avatar, he gained the horns and tail he now had.

"I... that's a lot to take in," Inko said.

"Lastly, Rezan asked me to watch over the boy, so I'll be living here as well," Jani finished.

"Oh... But my landlord said no pets... Not that you are a pet but," Inko started rambling.

"No worries, Jani know what you meant," Inko could've sworn she saw the small lizard smile.

"Sorry, I have to be very careful. This is the only apartment that I could afford," Inko said.

"Ya be struggling?" Jani asked.

"We're comfortable," Inko replied.

"Ya don't need to be lying to me," Jani stated, his yellow eyes narrowing.

"I've had to dip into my savings a few times, but those are rare," Inko explained.

"Well, we can't be having that," Jani said with a wide grin before literally vanishing before Inko's eyes.

~Later that night~

Izuku had gone to bed, leaving Inko to try and think over what she would do now. Her son could now chase his dream. Truly chase it. She'd have to get him in some sort of training. But what would be best for him now? He'd need a specialized quirk style to best use his tail.

"Oh, course the Marital Arts Pro Hero Tailman," Inko said as she smiled. Pulling out her phone, she quickly dialed her best friend.

"Ko-chan! How've you been? It feels like it's been weeks since we talked," the voice of Mitsuki Bakugo happily spoke.

"Suki-chan, Sorry I haven't called in a while. I've been doing a lot of double shifts lately. But that's beside the point," Inko apologized.

"We can catch up later. I can tell this is an important call," Mitsuki said, her voice going into business mode.

"Izuku got his quirk today," Inko said plainly.

"Congrats... before we move on to the main topic, what is it?" Mitsuki asked.

"It's something weird... like a mix of the pros Godzillo and Thunderhead," Inko explained. (Thunderhead is an OC toss-away hero)

"Wow... so his completely mutated... amazing... Ok, back on subject," Mitsuki said.

"Does your sister's wife still work for Tailman?" Inko asked.

"Oh, you want to get Zu-chan some special training?" Mitsuki asked.

"I figured it would be best," Inko replied.

"Yes, she does. I can call her and ask if she could see if he's taking on students," Mitsuki said.

"Thank you," Inko said, doing her best to hold back tears of joy.

"I'll call her now. We should talk again soon," Mitsuki said before she hung up.

"Well, hopefully, that will help,"

"This should as well," Inko nearly jumped out of her skin as Jani appeared on the couch.

"Jani... don't scare me like that," Inko said with a hand on her chest.

"Sorry, it's in my nature. Now then Ol'Jani has a gift," Jani's clawed hand rose, showing he was holding a small silver-colored coin.

"What is it?" Inko asked as she was given the coin.

"Ancient coin worth a lot of money," Jani said.

"You want me to sell it?" Inko asked.

"Yes, become wealthy and fear no longer," Jani grinned.

"I don't know what to say," Inko said as she looked at the coin.

"Nothing need be said," Jani said with a toothy smile.

"Thank you, Jani... Really you don't know how much this means," Inko said, starting to tear up.

"Oh boy, more tears," Jani said as Inko burst into tears of joy and thankfulness.

~The next day: At school~

Izuku burst into class, a massive smile on his face. "Guys! I got my quirk!" He shouted happily.

"Well, would you look at that. Deku's a finally not useless," one of Izuku's biggest bullies laughed.

"Don't be stupid. Just because he has a quirk doesn't change a thing. He's still just a Deku," Katsuki Bakugo taunted. Izuku sighed and moved to his seat. He had hoped that him getting a quirk would put things back to normal for him. That just maybe he and Kacchan could've become friends again.

"I guess it was too much to ask," Izuku thought.

"Uh... Izuku. what's with the lizard?" Izuku looked towards one of his classmates before looking to Jani, who had appeared on his lap. After a few seconds, he smiled lightly.

"This is Jani; he showed up right after I got my quirk and won't leave my side," Izuku explained.

"As long as it doesn't cause a commotion, I will let it say," The class jumped as their teacher had spoken, yet no one saw him enter.

"Now then, turn your textbooks to page three hundred ninety-four," the teacher spoke.

"Yes, sensei," the class spoke in unison.

~With Inko~

Inko was trying her best not to lose her composure as she held her phone. She was not expecting to get a direct call from Tailman.

"Hello," Inko said as calmly as she could.

"Hello, Midoriya-san. I know this may come as a surprise, but I always take the time to speak with people who wish to enroll their children into my Dojo," Tailman's voice was calm yet surprisingly powerful sounding.

"I... I understand," Inko replied.

"So, firstly, why my Dojo?" Tailman asked.

"My son's quirk gave him a tail that he can control and fight with. And you're the only person I could think of that would be able to help him learn how to control and utilize his new tail the best," Inko explained.

"Interesting, Is your son aiming to be a hero?" Tailman asked.

"Yes, it's his dream to be a hero people can count on," Inko replied.

"What is his quirk?" Tailman asked.

"We're not entirely sure. He grew a spiked tail, horns, his hands and feet shifts to claws, his teeth sharpened, and he somehow generates electricity now," Inko explained.

"Very interesting... Almost akin to Godzillo," Tailman said.

"Very with a dash of Thunderhead too," Inko added.

"Very good... Bring him by the Dojo. I'd like to speak with him before I make my decision," Tailman said.

"Of course... when?" Inko asked.

"Thursday afternoon... say four-thirty?" Tailman replied.

"Thursday four-thirty. We'll be there," Inko said.

"See you then. Have a nice day Midoriya-san," Tailmain said.

"You too, Tailman-san," Inko said as the call ended.

~End Notes~ So there is chapter two's update. I hope you enjoyed it.
