CH 1: To Reach out

In the depths of the void a king rests, relishing the darkness of the abyss, many called him a monster, a hunter, a betrayer, but of all those he was a hero. A hero forgotten in time, he who sacrificed everything he had achieved to save the world from chaos and chose to be forgotten in time. He sits laid back on his dark throne surrounded by his subjects whom were subservient and loyal to him.

"Bellion" called out the king to his Grand Marshall, a four winged being made of shadow turned to face his king.

"My Lord, what is thy will?" answered the shadow, the king gazed at his subjects and noted two distinct shadows missing who were normally by his side, his generals.

"Where is Beru and Igris?" he asked the shadow, the Grand Marshal simply grunted "The knight has challenged the insect for the right to stand on your left my king"

The king couldn't resist but bring his hand to his face and massage his temples "They're at it again?" "Come to think of it, Igris has been with me the longest so it makes sense that he would challenge Beru and then Bellion". Before his thought process could go any further, he felt a disturbance within the void, something that didn't belong, so out of place that its presence sent a ripple through the void announcing its arrival, an intruder.

"Come forth" ordered the king and 6 other shadows rose from the ground around the king. From the darkness arose a knight "Igris", a large insect almost humanoid in the way it stood "Beru", a humanoid shadow wielding a large axe and shield "Iron", a shadow distorted as it grew in size and its shape changing to that of a large bear "Tank", a large robed shadow rose its head to show its red orcish face and his large fangs with a scowl "Tusk", lastly a regular looking humanoid shadow stood alongside the assortment of beings with a blank look to its face "Greed"

"Show yourself, I know you're there" he announced. With his announcement a brilliant light appeared ahead of him, the light slowly lessened to reveal the form of an angel with 6 wings. Recognizing the angel, the king visibly relaxed and mentally ordered his subordinates to calm down before someone, namely Beru, does or says something stupid

"It's been a while Shadow Sovereign, how many years has it been since you used the Chalice?" asked the angel. Wanting to get to the point of the conversation because he knew that this wasn't a meeting to know how he's been "I've been well for the most part, having to deal with shadow infighting here and there but can we get to the point of why you're here?" said the king

"A human has acquired the powers of a sovereign, but it seems that the mortal wasn't able to completely get hold of the sovereign's powers, now many humans have powers they call quirks and I fear the worst for earth. The world is in danger of being plunged into Chaos once more, you were the one to stop that calamity from happening and we need your help to stop it once more Sovereign of Shadow. Please…" said the angel

"Many people have asked me for help, or they have demanded something of me but for me, this is the second time that I've heard another earnest request." Said the king as he slowly rose from his throne and extended his hand towards the angel palm facing upwards as a gesture of acceptance "even if you didn't ask this of me I would've helped stop this from happening once more, but…" he trailed off

"what may be the problem?" asked the angel

"my time is over, it's time for someone else to take up the mantle of Shadow Sovereign" said the king as he reminisced about his own journey and ascension. Looking at the angel and what he next said to the angel made his eyes widen in surprise.

"I will choose my successor and you will be his architect as there once was for me, Ruler" said the king as he smirked at the angel with his glowing blue eyes that shined brighter in the darkness of the void.

Scene Break

In this era of superpowers what was once labeled as paranormal became the norm and these 'powers' are called quirks in modern society. The phenomena of where these quirks emerged from cannot be explained but such causes were quickly overlooked due to the rapid changes happening to the world and soon people's dreams became reality and thus Heroes were born, but with the birth of heroes also came with the birth of Villains.

"Take a leap of faith off the roof then maybe when you're reborn you'll have a quirk and stop being so useless Deku!" said an ash blonde haired boy to the green haired boy, a look of distraught and anger clearly imprinted on the green child's face as he turned to face the other boy "You got something to say?" said the blonde while making small explosions on his left hand. It was futile to combat the explosion user, so the boy just put his head down "maybe kacchan is right" letting go of his anger and letting his negative emotions consume him.

Finding his notebook floating on water clearly ruined and burnt he tried to flick the book dry of the water clinging to it, realizing his efforts wasn't going to change anything he put it in his backpack and slowly climbed the stairs to head to the roof. "I want to be a hero to save people and protect them just like All Might" he thought as he clenched his fists "but how could I ever become a hero when I'm quirkless" noticing he was nearing the edge of the roof he grabbed the railing and looked at the horizon "everyone else has a cool quirk that would let them be a hero but why didn't I get one?" he asked no one in particular "I should just go home, I can't let what Bakugou said earlier get to me cause if I did jump off the roof then who would look after mom?" and with that thought he trudged homebound, on his way he noticed a crowd of civilians. Still in his depressed state he chose to drown out the sounds of the crowd with his thoughts and turned his body to the direction of his house.

Continuing his trudge home, he soon saw his house in sight; that was until he felt an invisible force push him around the corner into some sort of portal, some sort of gate.

"UWWAAAAAHHH W-what's happening!" screamed Midoriya being flung off his feet hurtling straight into the portal, with the inability to do anything to save himself from falling into the weird gate way to who-knows-where all he could do was to desperately reach out and shout

"HELP! SOMEONE! AHHH" slowly sinking into the gateway with his arm reaching out to anyone until he was fully pulled inside.

Dead silence. Crackling energy was heard from the gateway before it closed in on itself, erasing its existence along with the boy.

The Boy who dreamed to be a hero, he who reached out for a hero in his time of need.
