AN - Howdy and welcome to yet another brain child of mine; Bakugou Renew, the first ever SI as Bakugou Katsuki fic! :3

Well at least to my knowledge that is. I mean I could be wrong about that, but so far the only SI Bakugou fics I'm aware of, featured a SI reborn as a sibling of Katsuki not AS the Mr. SplosionMcgee himself. Though do please give me a heads-up if there indeed was another SI-Katsuki fic out there.

Anyhow, down to business, hope you guys enjoy the chapter and leave a Review while at it. :3

BAKUGOU RENEW

=PROLOGUE=

-Musutafu Hospital-
-Late evening, almost midnight-

"Citizen… Bakugou Katsuki, age fifteen…" An elderly man's voice echoed lightly through the room. The interesting part about this person currently reading out the written report on his notepad, is the fact that he has the appearance of a humanoid panda about 6 feet tall with round, but sturdy figure, donned in a doctor's coat (with polo shirt and slacks underneath), small round eyeglasses and a large well trimmed mustache.

(*Cue Present Mic voice*)
Kumamaru Kaname

Quirk: Panda
A self-explanatory Quirk that gives him nearly all the characteristics of a Panda bear.

"...Time of death… Sixteen thirtyfive... date, fifteenth of july..." The elderly panda-man finished the report with a heavy sigh, before giving a look of pity at the dead body of a teenager kid laid before him on the cold steel table with only thin white sheet covering his whole body with the sole exception being his head. The kid who is just about to be put into the cold chambers to preserve the body till the day of his funeral.

A teen who was just about to graduate from Middle-school… Way before his time the doctor thought sullenly...

"Cause of death, sir?" The person accompanying Kumamaru in the Morgue (building adjacent to the Musutafu hospital's main building the two worked in), Stein Franklin, inquired his elder colleague in a deep german accent(1), while writing something in the notepad of his own.

Stein Franklin

Quirk: Muscle Patchwork
a Quirk that gives the user an unique control over the fibers of his muscles. As the name implies; it allows the user to literally patch people up by sewing their wounds close with thread thin muscle fibers acting as makeshift stitches. This also includes lost limbs so long as the wound had been a clean cut, although bones would still require a more direct approach in the old ways, since this Quirk cannot be effectively used on any bone-matter.

Franklin other hand was a lanky man of German descent in his mid-thirties with mismatched eyes and short slid-back ash-grey hair. The most eye catching feature about this man is the fact how he looks exactly like the certain fictional character, Frankenstein's monster, with all the stitches and various patches of mismatching skin littering most parts of his body. Former being the obvious side effect of his Quirk with the latter being caused by the old skin condition of his.

Either way with the name his parents had gifted him with upon birth before the manifestation of his Quirk; the sheer irony of the outcome was certainly not lost on him… Honestly, living in Japan had been a bit of a blessing to him, with the introductory customs the locals here have, with the whole last name first policy, making the people at least ponder a moment before some of them starts referring him FrankinStein again out of habit...

"Asphyxiation from the looks of it..." Kumamaru responded Franklin's query, before giving another forlorn sigh. He then lowered the arm that held his pad and dragged his free hand along the fur of his head.

Franklin couldn't held back from wincing at that. "Jesus… What a horrible way to go…" He said, before furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at the kid's lifeless form. "And to someone so young to boot..."

"Aye..." The spectacled man-bear nodded in agreement, taking his hand off his scalp. He then took another glance at the contents of his notepad. "A shame truly... with such an amazing Quirk, his career as a Hero would've been more than warranted as well..."

There was a moment of silence between the two, working on their respective tasks in peace, until the scarecrow-like man broke it.

"What happened to him anyway?" He asked in curiosity, as he turned his full attention towards his senior.

Kaname stilled, lowering his pad again, before he addressed his colleague with an eyebrow raised. "Haven't you heard? It's still literally all over the news right now."

"I've been rather occupied for the most part of the day with the other autopsies I've been tasked with today, so I haven't really gotten the chance to get up to speed what has happened outside, before the kid got brought here." He made a hand gesture at the corpse before them. "There were some talks about some Slime Villain running rampant downtown at some point in the evening, but that's about it." The German explained.

"I see… Well, you got the gist of it at least. Long story short; right before the whole Slime Villain incident reached its climax; the Villain took the kid here as a hostage and tried to take over his body." He paused in order to take a breather, now comes the most disturbing part. "We managed to extract nearly four liters worth of this thick, sludge-like substance filling young Bakugou's lungs… Likely the residues from the Villain's possession attempt… I can easily speculate this vile procedure must've been immensely painful experience..."

"Scheisse… Where were the Heroes?"

Kaname furrowed his eyebrows in deep frustration. "Oh they were definitely in the area, I assure you..."

"Huh? Then the hell were the Heroes doing!?"

"Nothing." Kaname coldly proclaimed.

Franklin blinked, giving his senior a look of utter disbelief. "P-pardon?"

Kaname let out an aggravated huff. "That's the thing. They did nothing. According to the witnesses; they apparently just stood there and bloody stared as the poor kid literally got his life choked out of him right in front of everyone's eyes!"

"E-ernsthaft!?(2)" The younger man got so incredulous, he ended switching back to his mother tongue by habit.

"Ja." Kaname humored his colleague by responding back in German, while nodding. He was fairly fluent in the said language. Then he continued. "The place was practically flooded with civilian spectators and literally all of them said the same thing. And ironically enough; the only one who acted was a young girl, a mere child from Middle-school, who might've even been Quirkless for the lack of Quirk shown. But even so; powerless as she was... she was the only one who at least tried to do something there…"

Then the fluffy bear-man, started scratching the behind of his left ear in a sheepish demeanor. "And from what I've heard, the girl actually kneed Kamui Woods right in the manbits when the man held her back from rushing in."

The german doctor flinched at that specific tidbit. "Ouch… I'd like to call her brave, but what she did was incredibly reckless, not to mention foolish thing to do if she indeed endangered herself with no ability to back her actions up as you implied." He remarked in a heavily disapproving tone.

Panda nodded in assent. "True, but nonetheless the girl had courage." Then he sighed. "More so than what I can say about the younger Heroes the current generation offers unfortunately... I swear, attention whores the load of em..."

The younger male, chortled loudly at the quip his senior made at the nowaday heroes. "Hehe! Ever the critic I see, Kumamaru-san." Franklin said in a teasing manner, packed with a small grin.

"I pay like a fourth of my paycheck each month in taxes so the government gets to support these upstart heroes of theirs; so you'd expect them to at least do their bloody work properly. The term Hero was born from the selfless acts of self-sacrifice, not from parading around like flamboyant peacocks!" Panda retorted in very stern tone to his stitch-covered colleague.

Franklin blinked. "T-that's… a very fair point…" He admitted musingly, then he shook his head and addressed his senior again. "And then?"

"Hm?"

"What happened from there? Or the girl for that matter."

Kaname merely gave a nonchalant shrug. "All Might happened, saving the girl before she got herself killed, but unfortunately by the time he came, it was already too little too late for the boy..." He finished with a disappointed shake of his head.

It was beyond disappointing if Kaname were to be honest. If even one of the Heroes that'd been present at the time had the balls to act and do what they were supposed to; they may've just bought enough time for the kid to last until All Might arrived… But alas that did not happen...

"I see..." Franklin murmured quietly.

After that, there was another moment of silence between the two, but after few minutes the German doctor decided to break it for one more inquiry. "How did his parents take it?"

Kaname flinched rather harshly (packed with an audible hiss) at the mere remainder of that particular case. "It..." The panda sighed deeply, already feeling like two decades older from the whole incident. He took off his glasses in order to rub the bridge of his muzzle with his clawed fingers. "It had not been pretty… that's all I'm going to say..."

It really was not… to say that the mother had been devastated at the news would be a huge understatement… which is something he could certainly sympathise with, considering there's no worse feeling for a parent to experience than outliving their own young...

Taking the hint, Franklin didn't inquire any further and merely nodded back in response. "Understood, Sir. I won't pry you further about it."

"Thank you, Stein-kun." The panda gave the other man an appreciative glance and placed his glasses back in their place over his eyes, before taking a glance at his wrist clock. It was almost midnight.

"It's getting pretty late... Better wrap things up down here and—"

"*GAAAAASP~~!*"

Needless to say; when you witness a person who had been proclaimed AND confirmed to be very dead 7 hours prior (the body itself having already gone past the Rigor Mortis stage!), suddenly sits up in a coughing fit out of the blue… that tends to raise a reaction out of people...

"KYAAAAAAAAAHHHHH~~!"

With the most common one being the act of screaming one's lungs out with the most high pitched sound possible, something which the two doctors were doing quite spectacular job carrying out, as they hastily backpedaled right against the concrete wall to distance themselves from the risen corpse.

"*Cough!* *cough!* Wha-!? *cough!* What the!? W-where am I!? Why do I feel so stiff!? And where the hell is—!"

"AAAHH~! I-I-IT'Z ZA Z-ZOMBIE~!" Ironically it was Franklin who screamed that one out, while dramatically pointing at the freshly reanimated teen with a finger...

The now newly dubbed "zombie's" gaze immediately zoned-in Franklin's way, with a very offended look, although the kid did seem to do a double-take when he took in Franklin's rather peculiar appearance. "Did this Frankenstein reject-looking motherfucker just call ME a zombie..." Then his eyes landed on the remaining individual in the room. "... And is that a fucking panda!?"

By all means, the said panda should be feeling beyond offended at the manner he was addressed, but instead all he could do was helplessly stare in complete disbelief at the resurrected kid, who quite literally just gave a proverbial middle finger to Death itself.

After about a minute of intense inner debate (once he got his brain dot exe rebooted and all that...), Kaname finally found his voice.

"B-Bakugou...kun?" The elderly doctor, hesitantly called out.

The said kid's eyes then became comically wide, the moment the humanoid panda opened his mouth.

"It fucking talks!?"

Okay, if the earlier remark didn't offend him; this one most certainly did the trick… With twitching eyes, Kaname slowly turned his head to fully address the younger doctor, who still appeared to be literally minutes away from shitting himself...

"C-call the others… Now..."

AN - Ere we go! And the next chapter events would be experienced from Bakugou's side of view… Well the side of the guy now residing Katsuki's head now that is...

Hm? How could he die with the Heroes there you ask? Well take this from my perspective; in canon the way how things looked, if it wasn't for Izuku's interferance, Katsuki may've died by choking, since the minor Heroes around sure as hell did not bother to risk their own necks to rescue him, because their Quirks had been "inconvenient" in the situation, whereas All Might, from the looks of it, managed to push himself to the limits in order to transform because how moved he got from Izuku's selfless actions. Well that's one man's opinion on the whole event.

Also just to clarify before anyone asks; as is mentioned in the story summary; yes, this is a SIOC fic AS Bakugou Katsuki. And no, the sudden resurrection also doesn't imply any "Zombie" nor any form of Undead-themed Quirks. Best explanation I can come up with is that it involved supernatural means with the new soul and a little sprinkle of Plot Convenience.

Now then, what do I have in mind for pairing plans?

Honestly, right now I'm conflicted whether I should proceed with a strict SI Bakugou and Fem-Izuku single pairing or very small harem involving only two girls (FemIzu included) so the second girl is up for vote, though I personally was thinking of going with Nejire, if I were to add a second girl in the pairing.

(1) I'll be frank here… I simply do not have the patience trying to imitate the German accent in written form, so I leave it to your imagination how Franklin may sound like. I tried at first, but after a minute I already felt like I was going to suffer from an aneurysm from the attempt... (￣ー￣；)

(2) "Seriously"
