AUTHORS NOTE:
This is the AzureKnight logging in again, and I have decided to write another crossover story. This time, it's going to be between My Hero Academia and the Fate series. And after reading through a few fanfics and tv tropes about Izuku discovering he's a Kryptonian and becoming Superman. Getting bitten by a radioactive spider and training to become the next Spiderman by Peter Parker. Attending Beacon Academy and leading a Team of Huntresses. Or, stealing the hearts of the corrupt as a Phantom Thief. I have decided to give our Quirkless Deku the ability to summon Heroic Spirits of Legends and Myths. This idea came into my mind when I was reading the first volume of the My Hero Academia Manga. And since I'm a massive Fate fan and loyal player of Fate/Grand Order. I'm giving this new fanfic a test-drive. Without further ado, it's time for the beginning of chapter one.
What is a Hero?
A fairy tale told by story?
An ally of justice who helps those in need?
A worker who performs duties for the sake their homeland?
Or a Villain who unknowingly saved the world.
Whether a Hero is defined by those around him, by their own self obligation or their own selfishness, such questions shall forever be a mystery.
It all began in a small city of china. When a newborn infant displayed a rather bizarre ability emanate a lightbulb glow from their body. Soon after, like an unknown plague people all across the globe immediately began to exhibit superhero like powers known today as Quirks.
This life changing event brought about a great change in society. Then in turn gave rise to a new breed of Criminals and Vigilantes, which in turn evolved into Villains and Heroes.
Fantasy became reality.
At present 80% of the world's population consists of superhumans with special abilities
The world is in chaos.
And a profession that everyone once only dreamed about…
…entered the spotlight.
Aldera Junior High, Musutafu, Japan.
Inside the 3rd year classroom at a local high school the students inside were all sitting inside their respective desks as their teacher prepares to hand out some paperwork.
"All right class now listen up." Every student laid their eyes on the homeroom teacher.
"Now as third year students you ought to be thinking about your future career." The teacher held up the papers stacked together for all to see.
"Normally I should be handing these forms to each and every one of you. But…"
The man suddenly tosses all the files out of the way.
"It's obvious that everyone here wants to become Heroes am I right?!"
"YEEAAH!"
The whole classroom roared with excitement as everyone raises their hands high while showing off their Quirks.
"Yes yes, settle down everyone. Now it's against school rules to be using Quirks here."
"Hey TEACH! Don't lump me with those other losers!"
Every student turns their attention towards a spikey blonde-haired boy with sharp red eyes. Who is smugly slouched on his seat his legs crossed on top of the desk.
"As if my Quirk is anything like those awful stage effects. if they're lucky one of them might be enlisted as sidekicks to some cluster d lister."
Such insult did not go underappreciated as most of the class raged in retaliation.
"The hell you'd just say!?"
"Get over yourself asshole!"
"You think you're better than us Katsuki!?"
"Extras should act like extras so Shut Up!"
The teacher immediately interrupted before the scene escalates into a brawl. "Ah yes, Katsuki Bakugo. I assume that you intend to enter U.A. High school am I correct?"
"Wait, that guy is going to enter the National School?"
"That School has a 4.2 acceptance rate."
"There's no way anyone can get accepted into that place!"
The boy now known as Katsuki Bakugo then leaped on top of his desk to confirm his intentions.
"That's right, I'm entering U.A. you wanna know why!" Bakugo gloated. "Because I alone ace the mock tests! I'm the only one at this school who stands a chance at getting in! I'll even surpass All Might himself! THAT'S RIGHT! I'll become the richest Hero in the world! And the only place that is worthy of my ascension is U.A. High!"
"That reminds me, Izuku Midoriya. You also wish to enter U.A. High School too, did you not?"
"…!?"
Katsuki and the rest of the class suddenly froze up as they all slowly turn to stare at the center of the desk. Where a meekly frail looking boy with messy dark green hair and eyes with small freckles on the side of his cheek who is sulking on his desk and slowly raises his head up."
"W- well…I-."
The whole classroom abruptly bursts into a loud hysterical laughter."
"Wait, Midoriya! Are you Serious!?"
"Good Grades aren't enough to get you into the Hero Program, Idiot!"
"Th- that's not necessarily true. Sure, there's no precedent, but-."
*BOOM* "GET REAL, DEKU!" Bakugo suddenly shouted as he slams his hands on Midoriya's desk causing an explosion which destroys the desk and blows the other boy away.
"Did you honestly THINK! That a Quirkless loser like YOU! Can rub shoulders with ME!?" The blonde boy threatens with both of his hands crackling in small sparks of fire, causing the green haired boy to back away towards the corner.
"N- no, I wasn't trying to compete with you Kacchan!" Midoriya tries to reason. "It's been my dream to become a Hero when I was little, and well…" The boy hesitates, figuring out the right words to say.
"The tr- truth is… The truth is that my own Quirk had just started to manifest yesterday, and I thought I might have a chance to enter U.A. High!"
…
…
…
And just like that, the entire classroom that was once filled with laughter and scorn, had just gone deathly silent. Even Katsuki Bakugo who was haughtily mocking Izuku Midoriya for his lack of Quirk stand motionless in shock, the sparks on his hands suddenly fade away. Too stunned in his silence that only one word leaves his libs after a few seconds has passed.
"…what?"
"Yes… it's true. I finally have my own quirk now!" The former Quirkless then stood up. "Look, its right here on my hand." Izuku ushers everyone to gather around to take a closer look at his new Quirk.
On the back of his left hand lies three red marks, shaped into what looks like a smiling face with two rabbit like ears on its head. At first, it would appear to look like a normal tattoo inked on his hand. But, upon closer observation the tattoo would then start to pulse a bright red glow before returning to normal. This process is repeated every half minute before it stopped permanently.
"Wow…Midoriya really did have a Quirk."
"Are you sure about that? A glowing tattoo doesn't look impressive."
"Y- yes. I'm sure that this is definitely my Quirk. To tell you the truth, I'm still trying to figure out how it works." Izuku explained as more people joined in and bombarded him with questions. However, the only person who did not partake in the inquiry was Katsuki who continued to stare at Izuku's left hand.
'Deku…has a Quirk?' A thought spoken from Kacchan's mind.
'That piece of shit Deku has a Quirk!?'
Unknown.
Deep within the Reverse Side of the World. A world cut off from reality. Lies mysteries dwell within this unknown world where beings roam inside long after the Age of Gods has ended. One of these beings, a large dragon. Is currently guarding a sphere holding great power. Patiently waiting for its beloved to come find the dragon sleeping soundlessly, never releasing its hold on the sphere.
Within another place inside the Reverse Side of the World. Lies a paradise filled with greenery and clear beautiful skies. Another occupant within this Utopia rests a young girl laid upon the soft grass. Her white dress and loose blond hair flowing along the small wind. She too, is waiting for her own beloved to find her. Forever hoping and longing for each other.
However, an unknown phenomenon began leak into this ethereal world, rousing the beings that were affected by the singularity. The sleeping girl, is one of those affected by the unknown.
And for the first time since her eternal slumber, the girl's eyes slowly open to reveal green irises.
Aldera Junior High, Musutafu, Japan.
"DEKU YOU WORTHLESS FUCK! WHAT THE SHIT GOING ON WITH YOUR HAND HUH!?" An enraged Bakugo is now holding the helpless Midoriya with one hand by the collar, another hand aimed to blow his head off. It was the end of class, signifying the near end of school and after the teacher bids his students farewell. The top ace waste no time and immediately grabbed the newly Quirk boy, demanding for answers.
"Kacchan- please, let go-."
"I'M THE ONE ASKING QUESTIONS DAMMIT!" Katsuki violently shook the terrified Izuku. "There's no way a piece of shit like you can EVER get Quirk!" Ever since it was discovered that Midoriya had no Quirk. Bakugo has made it his life's work to personally make the Quirkless Deku's life a living hell. As Bakugo would sadistically demonize the defenseless Midoriya in the lowest humiliating abuse far beyond the vilest monsters' standards.
The discovery that a Quirk has manifested from the same Quirkless Deku was a challenge to his authority in Bakugo's point of view.
"This has to be some fucking prank; it HAS to be! You must've got this fake tattoo from some piss ass shop IS THAT IT!?"
"NO!" Midoriya snapped back catching Bakugo off guard. Shocked at the fragile boy's sudden defiance. "This tattoo is MY Quirk! I got it fair and square!"
Katsuki stares aghast at Izuku in a moment before growling and roughly letting him go as Izuku fell on all fours. But before the green haired boy could get up, the blonde viciously stomped on his tattooed hand. Causing a sudden yelp of pain as Bakugo grabs Midoriya by the hair and smashes his face as hard as he can on the hard floor.
"If I see you using your fucking Quirk, I'm throwing you out of the highest goddammed building I could find DEKU!" The angry Bakugo hissed as he releases Midoriya and storms out of the classroom. As he was nearing the exit Bakugo notices a notebook written by Midoriya on top of one of the desks which read "Hero Analysis #13." He then swipes the notebook, destroys it with his Quirk, and with all his strength threw it out of the window, before finally leaving the classroom, slamming the door shut.
"Oww~" Izuku recovered as he stood up with his bruised hand and broken nose. 'Didn't Kacchan knew that he would get in trouble if the teachers caught him doing something like this.' The boy thought as he gathers his things and leaves to find his missing notebook. As he took out his handkerchief to cover his bleeding nose, Izuku reminisces about his past and the events occurring yesterday.
Izuku was child back when his mother was preparing to show an old video clip that was taken. The young Midoriya was hyperactively moving his head back and forth, waiting for the video to start.
"Again? It's almost like you're adding ten thousand views on this old video Izuku, its almost scary." Inko Midoriya said. Clicking the mouse on the thumbnail.
The video shows the remains of the disaster. Large piles of rubble and broken vehicles had been scattered everywhere. The survivors have been carrying the injured out of danger.
["Who is that man!? He just saved a hundred people already in less than ten minutes! Wait!– here he comes again!"]
A booming laughter grabs the attention of the cameraman as he zooms in towards the source of the voice.
Rising on top of the ruined buss is a large muscular man in his blue bodysuit, carrying a few more civilians on his arms and shoulders. His swept back blonde hair with two large tufts at the front, sticking up on top of his head. And a huge smile spread across his face despite suffering a few minor injuries.
["HA! HA! HA! Fear not, citizens! For I Am Here!"] The large man shouted with a tone of complete confidence.
Just who is that man rescuing those people on the screen you ask? Well…this heroic looking individual just happens to be none other than All Might. No 1. Hero, and the Symbol of Peace. His very presence marks a decrease on Villain related activities. It's because of those feats, that All Might has gained the fame, love and support from all who were saved and inspired by that man.
There's not a single person on earth who doesn't know All Might's name. He was everything every child has aspired to be, and the young Izuku Midoriya is one of those children.
"YEAH! When I get my Quirk, I'm going to be a Hero just like All Might!" That was the proclamation the boy has declared.
However,
"You cannot be a Hero." The doctor bluntly told him straight at his face. Brutally shattering Izuku's hopes and dreams.
It turns out that ever since its first discovery, that people are most likely to have powers if they only have one joints in their legs since their rest of the leg has already evolved.
Izuku has two joints in his legs.
There was no hope for him to ever develop a Quirk.
No hope for him to ever become a hero.
This simple fact has left Izuku heartbroken beyond repair. His mother unable to do anything but helplessly watch as her son despairs at his Quirklessnes.
That was years ago.
Then one day ago on this exact morning. The unexpected happened.
Izuku was finishing brushing his teeth inside the bathroom. Just after he rinsed his mouth clean. He takes a look on the All Might toothpaste he was holding on his hand.
Life wasn't the same anymore ever since Izuku discovered he was Quirkless. His best friend Kacchan started bullying him when he found out he can't produce a Quirk. And soon after all the students in his school joined in and began picking on him. The only reason none of the adults found out is because he couldn't bring himself to tell on his former friend.
"If only I had a Quirk." Izuku sighed to himself. None of his misfortune would've happened of he had a Quirk. At this point the Quirkless Deku did not care if he has a useless Quirk. He just, wanted his own Quirk. Any kind of Quirk would do. Unaware that his wish is about to get granted. Izuku then proceeds to open the shower.
Just as his left-hand grasps and turns on the shower lever. Izuku suddenly felt a burning pain of his hand and winces as he let go and retracts his arm.
"Ah!?" Izuku let out a quiet gasp as he rubs his hand on the pain spot that he felt on the back of his other hand. When he gets a clear view on his back hand Izuku becomes puzzled as he gets a clear view on the weird red marks that are etched on his skin.
"A, tattoo?" Izuku rubs his eyes to check if this wasn't his imagination. The young boy clearly did not recall buying himself a red tattoo. While there are indeed a few hardcore fans who had an All Might tattoo on their bodies. Izuku was not one of those fans.
The young boy continues to stare at this red marking on his hand, trying to figure out why it got stuck here. When Izuku let out a surprised yelp as his widened eyes caught something he did not expect to see. Realization dawned on his head.
"MOM!" A massive shout interrupted Inko as turns Izuku rans towards the entrance to the kitchen, the boys face full of mixed emotions.
"Huh!?" Inko was in the middle of cooking to scrambled eggs. "Izuku, what are yo-?"
"Look mom!" Izuku interrupted showing off his back hand to his mother. "I got it! I finally got it!"
"Izuku what are talking about, wait- Is that a tattoo!? Izuku! Where did you…get…this." Inko trailed off when she notices her sons tattoo began glowing a red pulse. Her eyes beginning to water, her legs trembling.
"That…that, is that… is it…really?"
"Yes Mom~" Izuku confirmed. His own eyes tearing up as his mother grabs ahold of his hand to get a closer look. Checking if it's really there.
"It's, it's my Quirk…"
After that, they both check into the doctor to analyze and confirm that his Quirk had been developed. What shocked Inko Midoriya though, was that the doctor couldn't confirm if the tattoo is really a Mutant-type Quirk or a regular tattoo. Explaining that he had never seen that kind of Quirk before. So, it was decided that Izuku Midoriya's tattoo shall be marked as an Abnormal Mutant-type Quirk.
Izuku couldn't care less about any of that stuff.
He finally got his own Quirk.
That meant that he can finally become a Hero.
A Hero like All Might.
Midoriya could've been more blessed. His life is now turning for the better. Kacchan would stop bullying him and they could become friends again. They even get to go to U.A. High School together. The same school All Might went to.
But instead Kacchan got angry and beat up Deku even more harshly than before. Threatening to murder him if he used his Quirk again.
Musutafu, Japan.
"I Really don't get you sometimes Kacchan." Midoriya mummers. His nose stopped bleeding after a while. Now the middle schooler is now walking through some part of town.
As he was entering the tunnel. Izuku gazes upon the red marking on the back of his left hand. Despite getting his own Quirk, he still couldn't figure out what else it does other than flashing a red light out of his tattoo.
Is a glowing tattoo enough to make him a Hero?
…
…
…No.
He already has own Quirk so far, there's still hope for him yet.
The young Midoriya made a promise to himself that day.
That no matter what anyone else says he will have to believe in himself.
Even if his Quirk is useless Izuku will keep on smiling just like All Might!
He then mimics his idol, laughing the same way as All Might. As he was nearing the end of the tunnel Izuku hears something wet behind him. When he turns around his face suddenly turns pale as a green blob starts growing and rising. A pair of eyes and huge teeth pops out, showing off an unnerving grin.
"Hi Kid." The Sludge monster spoked in gurgles. "That's a nice body you have there."
'A Villain!?' His whole body burst a violent shiver. His fear kicking into overdrive. Izuku immediately turns tail and began to run as far away as he could. Unfortunately, the Sludge Villain moved in faster than he could react. And it quickly pinned Midoriya down, clogging his mouth and nose.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you or anything I'm just going to borrow your body for a little while."
Deprived of oxygen, Izuku can only futily claw at the green substance. Both he and the monster failed to notice red marks on his hand flashing faster than normal.
"Don't bother trying, it's not going to work. My body is made out of fluid you see."
"Now you're a real Hero, you saved me the trouble back there. To tell ya the truth I wasn't expecting him to be around town. I gotta bail out fast before he catches up."
'Can't…breathe. Body, getting…weaker.' Izuku feels the last of his energy leave him. His eyes begun to blur.
This isn't fair. He finally has his own Quirk now. Why did this have to happen?
The sludge is nearly enveloping the rest of his body leaving only his hair and eye open.
His last remaining eye darting around, searching for a sign. When far from the other side of the tunnel where he came from. His eye spotted a strange glowing blue circle with carvings on the ground.
'No…'
Without even thinking he unconsciously reaches his free hand towards the circle.
'Someone…'
The tattoo on his free hand and the circle glowing even brighter than before.
'Please…'
A single tear forms on his eye before squeezing shut in preparation for the worst.
'…Help.'
Unkown.
Deep within the paradise on the Reverse Side of the World. The same blonde girl in white who has been previously resting within the green fields, now stands fully awake. Her weary green eyes searches around the land for any disturbances.
Something has awoken her, that much she knew. The girls mind is clouded with suspicion when suddenly she let out a gasp. Both her hands covering her chest when she felt a familiar sensation deep inside her soul.
She was being summoned.
But that shouldn't be possible, she thought she had previously ended her contract when she had decided to destroy the one thing she had been fighting for.
The very same thing that had been corrupted beyond purification.
But why?
Why was she being summoned right here, out of all places?
No…
Then she heard it.
Someone…
It was a voice. A child's voice. A voice which sounded like a young boy.
Please…
That is when it hit her. She quickly figured out what is going on. The previous circumstance regarding her situation will have to be put on hold. She knew that tone all too well. If the girl was being summoned like this. If there was a voice calling out to her in here. It can only mean one thing.
…Help.
And help she shall.
Quickly channeling her Prana, the girls white dress began shapeshifting in a bright light. And in its place the girl now wears a royal dress fitted inside a set of battle armor. Her hair had been tied as well. Another bright light momentarily blinds her vision in a second before fading away to reveal a sword sheathed inside a scabbard floating in front of her.
She knew those two items all too well. Out of all the armaments at her disposal. It was those same treasures that she valued the most.
And thus, The Once and Future King took hold of Excalibur and Avalon. Leaving the land with the same name as the sacred scabbard. Desolate, once more.
Musutafu, Japan.
The Sludge Villain has nearly consumed its latest prey when it suddenly felt a chill up its slime.
'Did that bastard catch up all re-?' a sudden gust of wind slams into the pile of goop so hard its body begins to expand.
"WHAT THE H-!?, WHAT THE HELL AR-!?" The Sludge Villain quickly broke apart. Its body parts splattering in all directions and freeing the trapped Izuku Midoriya out of the tunnel. He was able to stay conscious enough to land on his butt to cough and gasp a large amount of fresh air he was previously depraved from.
'What was that!?' Izuku wheezing through his breaths. 'Did a Pro Hero, just showed up and saved me all of the-!?'
"I, am the Servant of the Saber Class."
Midoriya froze as a feminine voice reached his ears.
"And I have come in accordance to your summons."
Izuku slowly turns to the source of the voice, his rear and hands planted on the ground.
"Your Fate, is my Fate. Your destiny, is my duty. Thus, your will, is my command."
Walking out of the tunnel is a girl looking a year older than him. Golden blonde hair which was tied into a bun at the back. A blue ribbon holding her hair together. Her jade eyes staring straight at him. In her garb, she is wearing pieces of medieval armor fitted on her blue dress. Her chest armor is etched in blue markings. The female Knight looked like she didn't have a sword with her. But Izuku couldn't help but suspect she is hiding something on her right hand.
"And thus, I ask of you..."
The sunlight reflects her majestic form as she steps from within the dark tunnel and into the outside blaze. Shining her with such beauty that even the likes Mt. Lady and Midnight pale in comparison. But the strangest of them all is the Knight's question towards the Quirkless Deku.
"…Are you my Master?"

Izuku's Notes: Man, who would've thought that King Arthur is actually a GIRL!? On the other hand, I'm surprised I could completely write her Stat Sheets. Saber did tell me that all Masters have an ability to see their and other Servants Status. For a Knight, Saber is really good at swordsmanship. She also has dragon blood which gives her an extra boost of Mana. Unfortunately, that makes her completely vulnerable to dragon slaying Quirks. All in all, her stance on chivalry and honorable nature makes her an ideal Hero like All Might. Though, she does tend get terrifyingly competitive sometimes.
AUTHORS NOTE: And that my friends, is the conclusion of the first chapter of MY Heroic Spirit Academia. The reason why Artoria has the near same stats she has when she was Shirou Emiya's Servant back at the Fifth Holy Grail War, is because Midoriya is still Quirkless at that time. And don't go "Oh Azure, didn't you say Izuku already has a Quirk?" Command Seals are not Quirks. and for those of you wondering where the Holy Grail is laying around in the MHA world? Well, you'll be finding out in the next chapter much earlier than you think. And yes, Izuku will still inherit One for All from All Might. The reason for this is that I felt that it wouldn't be fair if Saber would be doing all the fighting for Izuku, even if she is his Servant.
That said, Artoria Pendragon won't be the only Servant who will be attending at U.A. High alongside Izuku Midoriya. There will be more Servants accompanying them once they arrive on the campus for the first time. And since you people LOVE giving Authors annoying reviews on which Servant you want to appear on this story. "A Hero must always be prepared!" as they say.
I have made a list of Banned Servants meaning that I have no intention of adding them on the story OR I have other plans in mind for them.
All Alter Servants, Mordred, Arthur Pendragon (Fate/Prototype), Atalanta, Elizabeth Bathory, Cu Chulainn (Fate/Prototype), Artoria Pendragon (Lancer), Ivan the Terrible, Sieg, Scathach-skadi, Mysterious Heroine X, EMIYA (Kiritsugu, Assassin), Xiang Yu, Jeanne d'Arc, Gorgon, Mecha Eli-chan Mk1 & Mk2.
Of course, such restrictions do not come without a bit of generosity. Which is why I'm allowing you the honor of requesting characters from other Nasuverse works outside of F/GO. Such as Arcueid Brunestud, Shiki Ryougi, Prisma Illya, Chloe Von Einzbern, Miyu Edelfelt, Gray, Altera Larva, Charlamange, and Karl der Grosse.
Welp, I already set out my list. You can either leave an honest review or vote for the next Servant. Otherwise, I'm picking out a random one.
