Déjà vu, the feeling that you've already experienced a situation before. Every thought, every feeling, every little twitch of the muscles in your body making you feel like the moment you're currently living in has been repeated before. It's a strange feeling. Off Putting. A feeling that can put you on edge for what's to come, especially when you can't remember what comes next.
Izuku woke with a start, landing face down onto the floor of his bedroom followed shortly by his pillow.
"Izuku? IZUKU! Are you ok dear?" his mother said as she ran into his room to help him, a worried tone evident in her voice.
Izuku simply replied with a tired and slightly pained groan before pulling himself up off of the floor, "I'm fine mum, just rolled off of the bed like a dummy." He shot her a smile in the hopes that she would be reassured of his safety, even though all it really did was show how clearly dazed he still was from him fall.
"Alright Izuku," Inko said with a sigh, still visibly worrying for her son, "You're up a bit early but at this point you may as well get ready for school yes?"
Izuku nodded before pulling himself up to get started on his morning routine, noting a dull pain in his wrist, 'Not the best way to begin the morning of my last year in middle school, must have landed on it… hopefully it won't be as bad as last year what with everyone focusing on preparing for exams." he thought.
Izuku made his way out of his bedroom and into the living room, his breakfast being placed on the table as he sat down. As he ate, his mind wandered, trying to remember what he was dreaming of and why it caused him to wake up the way it did. He gave up shortly after he began, in part because he kept coming up with nothing but an odd feeling, like a knot in his throat, but mostly because he noticed the time.
"Bye mum! I'm heading out now!" He shouted as he left the house. Even though he'd woken up earlier, he'd wasted so much time thinking back on the dream that he was leaving at the same time he would have usually left. He walked out onto the path he usually takes to get to his school, following the road towards the train station in an attempt to see some early morning villain apprehension if he was lucky but as he walked, he noted that the action felt off… a sense of strange familiarity taking root in his mind. It shouldn't have raised any sort of flags as this was the same path he's taken everyday for the past 2 years but something about the feeling struck him as odd however he couldn't really put his finger on what it was.
'Strange…' he thought to himself as he continued walking, ignoring the feeling as best he could.
He took his eyes off of the ground and looked up as he was entering a more busy area near the train station when he froze. Blinking quickly as he stared into the crowd of people in front of him, 'What the hell!?' he focused on each individual as little blue… things radiated off of them. They looked like large specks of blue glowing dust or something, quickly dissolving into nothingness after they left the person they were once attached to. Izuku had no idea what he was seeing but maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him so he closed them and rubbed them a bit with his hands in an attempt to either get them to focus properly or get some kind of answer to his question.
He opened his eyes to find that whatever he had seen was gone, as if it hadn't occurred. "Ugh, I'm probably still just half asleep. Or I hit my head when I fe- WAIT!" he shouted, swinging his bag off of his shoulders and reaching inside for his notebook when he stopped, "Why the heck did I do that? I thought I saw something hap-" He was cut off by the sudden sounds of screaming, crashing and other audible signs of destruction being heard from the direction of the train station. Izuku followed the crowd that was forming and looked over to the station when he caught it, a monstrously tall man with a strangely shaped head and brown dreadlocks had become the size of a house and was currently on top of the train tracks. "A Villain eh? It's way too early for this but I may as well get some notes on whichever hero intervenes." he said as he finished his previous action of retrieving his notebook while brushing off the feeling he had before the villain attack began.
"Turning into a monster? What a crazy quirk! What'd he even do?" a man asked.
"He was caught stealing a purse and started this rampage when he was cornered." replied a woman nearby.
Another man butted in and asked,"So there's a hero nearby?" but before they could get a reply, the No. 7 Pro Hero: Kamui Woods appeared, seemingly having been chasing down the villain and finally catching up to him. He started saying something to the villain but from where he stood, Izuku couldn't make it out. What he did pick up on was the Heros' body language as he prepared to unleash one of his Ultimate Moves. "Here it comes!" exclaimed the greenette, " Preemptive Bindin-"
"CANYON CANNON!" Another voice shouted, interrupting Izuku yet again. This one was much louder, and it was pretty hard to miss the person it belonged to as another gigantification user appeared, drop kicking the villain. "Today's my debut! Pleased to meet you all! You can call me Mt. Lady!"
"A HERO DEBUT!" Izuku shouted enthusiastically as he flicked quickly through the pages of his notebook in search of a fresh one. Once he found one, he got to work sketching out her features roughly and writing down some quick notes on her quirk, "Gigantification quirk. It's a common and quite PowerfulQuirkButCouldTheThreatOfPublicDestructionAndIt'sConsequencesForAHeroPossiblyLimitIt'sUses?" he mumbled out loud, causing a mixture of fear, confusion and awe in a few people around him as he started writing down specific details about the personality of the new Hero and continuing his already delayed walk to school.
School was eventful for Izuku. Unfortunately for him though, it seemed that he was going to be stuck living through the same hell he'd been in since he was 4. As it was the first day of their final year, the teacher had talked to the class about their future aspirations and given out forms for them to fill out deciding what they wanted to do. Unluckily for him, the teacher decided that when talking about his students decisions, he would also mention Midoriyas' aspiration to go to UA's hero course… regardless of him being quirkless… this of course led his entire class to laugh at him and his dream as well as causing his childhood friend turned bully Katsuki Bakugou to flip out at him, which in turn meant that he was confronted after class by him, leading him here. Outside the school by the pond. Holding his notebook, now with added burns from the blonde boys' quirk and dripping water from the aforementioned pond. His bully had left him one last message before leaving the greenette alone in the classroom though. "If you want a quirk so badly then how 'bout you take a swan dive off of the school roof and pray for one before you hit the ground? Maybe you'll get one in your next life! Well… if God decides that a worthless Deku like you deserves another chance!"
Izuku had brushed it off without even considering it, "Can't be a hero if i'm dead… plus he's right, what God would even think of giving someone like me another chance?" His head hurt a little bit after saying that, a faint whirring, as well as what may have been an even fainter voice rung in his head. He brushed it off and kept on his way home.
"Oh well. At least he didn't assault me today, I might be able to get back home without any injuries!"
Unfortunately for him, as these things often go, fate had a different plan in store. Before Izuku could understand this, something grabbed him and forced its way over and into his mouth. It was slimy, thick, disgusting and making its way down his throat fast.
"Don't worry kid, just hijacking your body is all." Izuku heard someone or something say in a voice that already uncomfortably resembled wet squelching but was also incredibly muffled as whatever was attacking him overtook his ears and slowly the rest of his body.
As his mind slipped into unconsciousness and his body was pulled away from his control, his vision became filled with the same blue specks that had appeared earlier in the day, overwhelming his senses. A faint "I am here." was barely audible to him but it was too late.
In the darkness that had consumed him immediately afterwards, a voice was heard.
"Hmm, so the wielder of this universes True Monado finally awakens. I hope it's powers are utilised in a way akin to the way Shulk made use of them."

Izuku simply replied with a tired and slightly pained groan before pulling himself up off of the floor, "I'm fine mum, just rolled off of the beeeeeeeeeeeeee-" Izuku froze, droning on and on as he felt the same familiarity as he had done before, the dream so much clearer in his mind. 'WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!?'
