Molten Core


I always wanted to be a hero growing up, with all Might's speeches, his heroics, his deeds, I had driven my mind to be just like him, my idol.

But when the day I was supposed to draw my quirk came, that I wished it hadn't.


"What was that, Deku!?" staring into the rage filled gaze of Katsuki Bakugo as he approached with his two fellow bullies.

Izuku Midoriya stared back with a sense of held back rage himself as he fearfully tried to defend a student behind him, raised hands shaking in a mixture of rage and fear, the greenette stared at his old friend "Kacchan" with a fearful stare.

"I-I said I wont let y-you hurt him!" shaking his hands as they were held up in a defensive place, Bakugo gave a cruel laugh as he approached.

Standing a head above Izuku who gulped.

"You're "without an individuality", So…" smacking a fist into his left palm to make an explosion.

"Don't think yourself a hero you useless good for nothing!" with one punch with an explosion doubling the pain, Izuku could feel the unknown anger within him rising.

And despite the pain in his mind, a punch lashed out at Bakugo who was stunned by the strike from the useless Deku, reaching a hand to his nose that felt the full impact of Izuku's hit, a trickle of blood was dropping from his nose.

Which caused him to glare at the "Deku" who was coughing on his hands and knees with quivering arms.

"You Hit me?" glaring with murder now at Deku's hit, Katsuki reached for Izuku with a deep scowl as the boy before him was now coughing up blood, making the blonde stop at the sight with his anger replaced by shock and horror.

Looking down to his hands he went to help Izuku who suddenly shot up to face his.

Stunning the bullies as his face was beat red, like he had suffered from a sun burn, that was the theory until his next words echoed between coughs.

"It Burns*Cough Cough*. IT BURNS!" clutching his chest as a glow began to manifest beneath his shirt, Katsuki backed away as smoke began to rise off of Izuku whose hair now caught aflame with green fire, followed by his screams as his shirt blew up in flames.

Making all but Katsuki rush off to find a teacher, leaving Katsuki to watch as Izuku's face began to burn away like paper as red flames replaced the green.


"That day, was the day where I felt the most extruciating pain, leaving me with the rage of a volcano ready to bring Gaia's wrath onto those who hurt the innocent"


Letting out a rage filled roar as the flames jettisoned into the sky, Katsuki was blown off his feet as Izuku stood on shaking feet, showing his now bared torso smoking as his head and lower arms held green and red fire.

Allowing the boys screams to halt into a coughing fit that slowly eased into calm breaths, allowing Izuku to look at his hands, showing the skin to be cracks like magma, reaching for his face, he gasped in horror as he felt the hardened bone of his skull.

Letting out screams of terror until his head was doused by a fire extinguisher, making him cough up the vile tasting foam.

Allowing him to stare at a relieved looking teacher who threw a blanket over his now restored form.

"Midoriya, it's ok now, you're ok now!" feeling his heart rate slow to a crawl as his energy faded, Izuku Midoriya fell asleep, his quirk finally manifesting itself to him and the world.


"That day, was the day my dream came to a mere walking distance, that day, was the starting point of the future hero, known as… Molten Core, the volcanic hero"


Ten years later


Staring at the growing crowds from atop a building he had set up as his small getaway, Izuku Midoyira watched the sight of a thief with a gigantification quirk wreathed havoc over the city, Izuku stared at the sight with a frown at the heroes doing jack shit to keep the raging giant at bay.

Sighing as he stood up from his seat, izuku stared at the giant thief with a calculating gaze, his head and arms ignited into an emerald flame that removed his skun and muscle from his skull, leaving his neck cracked like molten rock.

Taking an archers stance, Izuku raised his right arm straight, aimed directly into the thief's head, his left hand was pointing with a sway with the wind.

Narrowing his sight with a humm, Izuku's outstretched hand send a spear of emerald fire that flew straight and true towards the thief, missing the hero Kamui woods by a metre, the man was about to hold the thief with his quirk, only for the thief to get knocked unconscious from the kinetic force of the emerald fire, allowing Izuku to relax his flames while moving to get his school bag, moving to a steel pipe he slid down it to the street below, leaving the scene with no one the wiser.


Sitting in class with his quirk notes splayed out in front of him, Izuku was noting down more notes of his own quirk, noting down how he managed to not burn another school shirt by concentrating the heat he generated, Izuku sighed with pride before he flipped his notes to another page that had few notes of the newest street hero Mount Lady… shamefully enough the sketch he made left the woman looking quite inviting, sighing while putting down his notes of a few second observation of her arrival to his KO move.

Izuku was about to put down another note until he noticed a shadow looming over him among the chaos of the class celebrating.

Looking up to see Kacchan staring down at the sketch with a raised eyebrow, he looked to Izuku who gave a nervous chuckle.

"You better not be going pervert on me Izzy!" slamming his notebook shut before anyone could see his sketch of Mount Lady, Izuku gave Katsuki a look of betrayal as the blonde gave a smirk of a prank gone as planned.

"You think so low of me Kacchan, you blew a girls skirt off by accident after a sneeze" seeing his friend blush deeply with a scowl at the memory, he attempted to put Izuku into a head lock.

"It was you who put pepper up my nose and you know it!"

"That was payback for when you blew up my notes!"

"It was an accident!" throwing Katsuki over his shoulder and onto a kid whose neck could extend, Izuku turned to Kacchan who gave a growl as he stood up before he was called to be in his seat.

"You heading to the arcade later?" stepping out of the classroom beside Katsuki, Izuku gave a shrug with a yawn.

"Nah, I'm heading home to see what else I can do with my quirk" seeing Katsuki scoff, he petted Izuku on the back.

"Izzy, you can literally cook frozen food in your mouth" giving off a snort at the memory, the two split up with Katsuki giving him a half assed salute.

Giving one himself Izuku walked his way home before he stepped out of a walkway above him, looking over his notes he failed to hear a woosh behind him.

"Hey kid, don't mind if I take over your body for a lil trial!" moving to scream "Villain" Izuku's face was covered by slime as the villain behind him held him in place, forcing him to look into his eye, the villain was about to gloat if not for Izuku's flames igniting, startling the villain as he was forced to solidify as Izuku held his throat with a rage filled snarl.

"Yeah, I do mind" head butting the bastard who held his now bleeding nose and scorched face as it melted into slime.

"You little bastard!" moving to hit Izuku the Villain froze as he stared into Izuku's lifeless skull as it roared with green fire.

Showing his shirt burning away to show a chiselled body any girl would dream of caressing, the slime ball gave out a squeak before being pummelled unconscious.

Allowing Izuku to relax his flames, looking down to his exposed upper body he gave a curse to his carelessness until a sewer grate popped upward, making him turn to see his idol climbing out.

"I AM He…" seeing All might stop and stare at the slime covered villain groaning on the floor as a pile of, well, green slime, All might turned to Izuku who gave a small wave in his shock.

"I AM LATE, it seems"
