Detroit Smash! - Special Moves

The first quirk recorded was a baby in the city of Qingqing. After that, many other people began showing special abilities. While the origins of the quirks are unknown, researchers have been able to develop ways to forecast what kind of quirk a person may have, the general age for the quirks to appear, and if you had a quirk or not.

Years have passed, and the quirk population now takes up 80% of the human population. The 20% left were labeled as "Quirkless". Being labeled Quirkless had many consequences. You are considered a cripple. You become a social outcast. Worst of all, you are barred from the most popular profession; Heroes. With the rise of quirks, heroes and villains also became a reality. As you can tell, the suicide rate of quirkless people is always at an all-time high.

After all, being quirkless is a fate worse than death.

"I'm sorry, but you're never gonna get a quirk."

There was loud clatter as the toy a four-old boy was holding fell to the floor. The mother was almost in tears at the callous words of the doctor.

"Are you sure?"

The doctor turned and retrieved a folder. He opened the folder and took out the contents to reveal a x-ray of a foot.

"Ms. Midoriya, there are many signs of a quirk, but there is a universal sign of quirklessness. If you look here on the pinkie toe, he has two joints instead of one unlike everyone else who has a quirk. You said you are fourth generation right?"

Izuku Midoriya had stopped listening as soon as he said he wasn't getting a quirk. If...if he doesn't have a quirk, then how was he gonna be a hero?

"Izuku, honey, what are you doing?" Inko Midoriya walked into the dark room illuminated by the computer in front of Izuku. He turned around looking as if he was barely holding from breaking down.

"M-Mom...can I r-really be a h-hero?" The mother didn't know what to say. She wanted so badly to say yes, but…Inko just runs to her child and hugs the little boy with all her strength.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sooorrry!" The green haired woman sobbed while Izuku had only one thought.

'No mom...that wasn't what I wanted to hear.' Yet neither of them noticed how the glow around Izuku seemed to dim.

"S-Stop it Kacchan! Can't you see your hurting him?!" Izuku shouted shakily. There was a little boy on the ground behind him looking terrified as well. In front of them stood three boys around the same age.

"Get out of my way Deku! Stop acting like your a hero!" The leader of the three, Katsuki Bakugo, had sparks release from his palms. The two beside him released their quirks as well.

Deku's knees were shaking like crazy, but he stood his ground. "No! Why do you have to be so mean?! If you...if you don't stop, I'll never forgive you, Kacchan!" Bakugo snarled before grinning maniacally.

"What can you do? You're quirkless! Without a quirk, your just a pebble waiting to get stepped on!" With that being said, Bakugo and his two lackeys rushed Izuku and started beating on him. Again, no one noticed the unnoticable glow from Izuku has nearly faded out of existence.

"It's not wrong to dream, but it would be better for you to start thinking realistically. There's nothing wrong with being a police officer. It's a respectable job even though most don't think it is." A gaunt man answered Izuku's question with brutal honesty.

The gaunt man in an oversized shirt and pants was really All Might, the number one hero in Japan. A few minutes earlier, he had just saved Izuku from a sludge villain that he had been chasing. The boy had latched onto his pants leg as soon as he jumped. After landing, All Might had ran out of time. He had reverted back to 'Small Might' which made Izuku scream and panic.

After calming the young fanboy down, All Might explained his situation to Izuku. He told him about the wound he received five years before that limited his hero time to three hours. After he was done, Izuku asked his long awaited question.

"Can I be a hero?" Only to be shut down just as quick.

"I'm sorry young man, but it is just too dangerous for someone without a quirk to become a hero. Try to enter the police department if you really want to do some good. While people don't give them enough credit, they do some good work. You can not become a hero." After another apology and plead of silence about his situation, the injured hero walked down the stairs from the roof that he had landed on.

If he had turned around, All Might would have saw the glow around Izuku completely vanish.

Now, Izuku was walking down a alleyway, when he noticed that, in his inattentive state, he had walked straight towards the disturbance he saw earlier.

'How did I get here? Must be from my habit of looking for hero fights.' Izuku thought with a sigh. He walked closer and stopped in shock to see the exact same sludge villain that attacked him free and All Might nowhere in sight. "How? All Might took him ear-" Stopping mid sentence, Midoriya realized how it happend. 'When I grabbed his pants! That must have been when it slipped out. This is all my fault.'

Just a few meters away, a skinny blonde man in oversized clothing was going through the same thing. 'This is my fault! If I had taken out the villain quicker, before it had reached the boy from earlier, none of this would have happened. Everyone is getting hurt and I can't do a thing about it!' All Might grimaced when the memories of a bloody smile surfaced.

"I don't get it why aren't the heroes doing anything." Someone from the crowd asked.

"Apparently, none of the heroes have a quirk suitable to handle the villain. Plus, I heard the guy took a middle schooler hostage." Responded another random person.

'What?! I barely lasted a few seconds before I was almost out. It had to have been a few minutes since this started. I hope he can hold out a little bit longer. Because of my mistake.' Midoriya dwelled in his thoughts. He looked up to get a look of the middle schooler which was the exact moment the villain turned around to face his direction causing his mind and body to go dead cold.

"K-KACHAAAAAAN!" The 'quirkless boy' ran out from the crowd towards the villain.

"Kid! What do you think your doing?!" Death Arms roared after him.

'Young Midoriya!' All Might could only stare in shock as a quirkless boy ran towards his doom without hesitation.

'What am I doing? My legs are moving on their own! Think! What can I do. Aha! Page 25: Use any weak point to distract the villain to end the fight quickly.' Using the momentum of his run, Izuku twisted his body and threw his book bag right into the slide villain's eye.

"Agh!" Getting hit in the eye caused the villain to loosen his grip on Bakugo. The boy gasped for air, and then faced Izuku as the green haired boy clawed at the sludge.

"What are you doing here, Deku?!"

"I don't know! My legs just moved on their own." Izuku gasped out. Izuku was going through so many emotions he didn't know which to pick.

Bakugo stared at him in shock and could only ask.

"Why?" Izuku looked the boy in the eyes to see the fear and hopelessness etched in them. His thoughts went towards all the times he looked in the mirror and saw the same thing. He suddenly had an epiphany.

Why he always felt the need to help someone.

Why he couldn't run away when someone need help.

Why, no matter what, he was going to be a hero.

"B-Because, you looked like you needed help." Izuku said with a shaky smile. Such a simple answer, yet its meaning was not lost to either Bakugo or All Might.

All Might gasped before his body started to enlarge. The sludge villain regained control of Bakugo and cursed at the boy. "I am seriously getting annoyed at your attempts to get in my WAY!" The sludge swung a large hand of slime out ready to hit Izuku. As the villain brought down his arm, Izuku closed his eyes in response. Awaiting the hit that never came, Izuku hesitatingly opened his eyes to see All Might in his hero form blocking the attack.

"I'm sorry, Young Midoriya. I put you down, and now, I'm the one who wasn't the hero. It's about time I PRACTICE WHAT I PREACH! TEXAS SMAAAAASH!"

All Might grabbed both of the boys arms before punching with an incredible amount of force. The air pressure formed from the punch not only blew the sludge apart all across the alleyway, but also sniffed out the fires. Time seemed to be at a standstill till someone felt a raindrop hit them.

"Is it raining?" One of the spectators awed. Soon, everyone was looking up in shock before starting to cheer for the number one hero.

As the news crews began to crowd around All Might, the heroes and medics at the scene took the two boys to get them looked at. As Bakugo was off to the side getting praised for his fortitude against the villain, Izuku was getting lectured on his reckless behavior. The somber green-hair kid walked away with his head down.

Izuku was heading back to his home. "Man. Today has been the worst. Kaa-Chan is probably really worried. She's totally gonna take away my computer privileges." With a groan, he continued on his way till he heard a familiar yell from behind. He turns around to see Bakugo stomping towards him with looking furious.

"I didn't need your help useless Deku! I would have been fine on my own! You didn't do anything! I don't owe you jack shit, you hear me!" Bakugo roared at his former friend. The explosive teen brushed past Izuku and walked away. Izuku stared at his back till the boy was gone before he turned downcasted.

"I really didn't do anything."

"Nonsense!" All Might announce as he sped in front of Izuku.

"All Might! Where did you come from? I thought you were held up by the press." Izuku questioned the large man.

"HAHAHA! Nothing can hold me fo-AGGH!" Blood sprayed out his mouth as he reverted into his true form in a blast of smoke.

"AH! All Might are you alright?!" Midoriya screamed in panic. The gaunt man just waved the young boy off.

"Don't worry about me, young Midoriya. I am used to this." His words caused Midoriya to depress slightly.

"I'm sorry. You had to go beyond you limit because of my mistake." Midoriya apologized getting more and more depressed by the minute.

"Nonsense! If anything, I should be thanking you! If it wasn't for you and your heroic action, I would have been a fake who went back on his ideals. You inspired me to go beyond my limits!" All Might spoke with pride as Midoriya looked up in shock.

"Wha-" Midoriya tried to speak till All Might cut him off.

"A true hero is someone who embodies selflessness. A true hero butts in other people's business even if they are not wanted. At the beginning of every true hero's tale, they say, 'my legs moved on their own.'" Midoriya was clutching his chest where his heart resides. His face contorted in sadness, relief, anguish, and joy. He couldn't help remembering all the times he begged and prayed to hear the words that he most wanted to hear.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sooorrry!"

"No, mom...that's not it."

"Stupid Deku, here's an idea. Why don't you swan dive off the roof and hope for a better quirk in the next life."

"Kaachan...I just…"

"I'm sorry, but you're never getting a quirk."

"The words I wanted to hear..."

"Your better off going into the police department...You can not become a hero."

"I want to be…"

"Young man, you can be a hero." Midoriya was on the ground bawling at this point. He finally heard the words that meant everything to him. Suddenly, without warning, a bright light enveloped Midoriya.

All Might took a step back in shock. His eyes wide in disbelief.
