Chapter 1: Potenital.
Izuku walked just about aimlessly after his encounter with the slime villain and All Might. Even learning about one of his biggest secrets...it but even so...even meeting All Might face to face..he never got to hear the words he always wanted...instead all he got was..."Be realistic."
Well that was a kick in the heart for him. Just really rubbing the fact he's quirkless in his wounds...like it didn't already before but this was just an all time low. He barely even noticed the crowd or ruckus until a loud explosion snapped his mind into focus and the sounds of people panicking, sirens and devastation boom in his ear drums.
"W-Wow what?!" Izuku scurries over to the crowd of people and peers through.
He sees a good potion of the city street destroyed and on fire and in the middle of it is the same slime villain that attacked him! But All Might...he made him drop him...he's out because of him...and was now...ATTACKING KANNCHAN?! Is that Kannchan in that villain?!
"( Oh no...no...no...no...why aren't the pros doing anything!?)" Izuku thought.
Mt. Lady was currently having issues just simply getting to the scene to lend a hand due to the small narrow street. Death Arms couldn't seem get a good hold or hit on the villains odd body. Same with Kamui Woods and Backdraft was busy putting out the fires that Kannchan's explosions were making.
"( No no...this isn't good...times running out and none of the heroes have the right means to stop him! This is my fault...if I hadn't grabbed onto All Might...If I just...I just...)" His thoughts ragged inside his head.
"Damnit! We'll just have to hang on until the right hero shows up!"
"Yeah well time is something we don't really have bub!" Death Arms yelled.
"...KANNCHAAAAAAAN!" Izuku shouted as he bolted pass the crowd and pass the pros.
"Hey kid the hell are you doing?!" Backdraft yelled as he tried to dose the flames around them.
"Gotta help!" Izuku yelled.
"STOP YA DITS!" Death Arms screamed.
"H-Hey Slime guy! Take this!" He then tossed his backpack at the slime villain and the his stuff flopped out and his book struck his eye making him yelp.
Izuku then jumped forward and frantically tore at the slime to try and free the struggling Bakuguo.
"D-DEKU...GET...AWAY...Y-YOU...CAN'T..." He muffled out...
"S-Sorry but...I can't let you die..." Izuku said with a tearful smile.
"It's my fault this happened so...I have...to fix it!" The boy shouted with a burning desire.
This desire surged through his veins and...awakened something within him. Just then a red light seeped from his hands. Red and black static formed around his arms and hands, then at that moment the slime villain let out a huge groan and...began to shrink?
"W-What?" Bakuguo then felt the villains grasp loosen a bit.
Izuku didn't know what was happening but he kept on. Whatever it was it was working! The glow on his arms got brighter as the villain shrunk and shrunk and reverted to a human state. The crowd was awe struck at what was happening while the pros and even All Might in the back of the crowd...
"Agh...What the shit?! How did you do that?! And...AGH! Why can't I use my quirk?!" The villain roared.
"Um...ahhh...yeah...Take that!" Izuku said quickly gathering his things and taking off.
"...Can anyone explain what the heck just happened?" The wood limbed hero said.
"I got no fuckin idea." The big armed hero spoke.
"This is bullshit! My qu-AGH!" The villain is then socked by Death Arms and falls unconscious.
"Take a nap bub." Death Arms groaned.
"Um should we go after the kid?...Make sure he's okay?" Mt. Lady asked.
"No, let's just worry about this one here and put out the rest of these fires." Kamui spoke helping Bakuguo up.
Bakuguo couldn't help but keep staring off in the direction Izuku ran...what was that he kept thinking...how did he do that...and how DARE that loser show him up!
*Back with Izuku.*
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" He ran and he ran...to where he didn't know but right as he was was about to stop and rest something swooped him off his feet.
"Wowowow!" Izuku panicked and struggled as this unknown abductor pounced from building wall to building wall until they reached the top of on building and set him down.
Izuku immediately scurried away to take a good look at this mysterious person...
A tall man with black wild hair, a red headband and a white eye mask and armed to the teeth with blades...Izuku was kinda terrified...this wasn't any hero he recognized...was he a villain?
"You...young man." The armed stranger slowly gets closer...
"W-Who are you?..." Izuku tried backing up.
"I am known as Stain...and YOU..." He then leaped forward.
"AAAH-Huh?"
He was surprised when the man lifted him up in the air with a smile.
"Are a true hero!" The stranger said with an ear to ear smile as he hoisted Izuku up in the air in praise.
Izuku...had never felt more confused...
"R-Really?" His voice sounded almost longingly.
The man then placed the boy onto his feet and continue enthusiastically still with his wide smile.
"Yes really! You a mere child running head first into danger to rescue another with no concern for his safety! Without hesitation into a situations even trained pros were struggling with! That...is true heroism. Nothing is more noble then self sacrifice..."
"Young man...I know it. You will be a great hero."
Izuku was taken back...he felt a wave of emotions flow through him...his eyes welled up a bit and he smiled ever so genuinely...a true smile...and not a forced one.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"O-Oh sorry it's just...no one has ever said that to me..." He said wiping his eyes, getting a grip on his emotions.
"Well with a heart like yours, I can't imagine why not."
"It's...because I was born quirkless...all I ever wanted was to be a hero...like All Might...someone who saves others with a smile...but...I was told I was quirkless...and from that day on...the world and everyone around just seemed to rig that fact in my face day after day, after day...not even counting the bullying..."
The man's face grew visibly upset by this but quickly regained his composure.
"Well your struggles weren't for not and your efforts didn't go unrewarded."He crossed his arms smiling.
"What?...What do you me-...oh! You mean...what I did back there?..."
"Indeed. It seems you had a quirk after all."
"To be perfectly honest...I have no idea what I did there but...I guess your right...I...have a quirk now! I guess I can...um...deactivate quirks?...Or seal them? I'm guessing that's what I did..." Izuku stared at his hands pondering his power.
"It seemed so, whatever it did it depowered him."
"Hmmm..." He stared at his hands and focused trying to see if he could summon the power again...and to his surprise green/black static formed around his hands.
"Wow! Wait...it was red and black when I used it...now it's green and black...we-WOW!" Before he could finish his hand's began to melt and turn green.
The man's eyes widen and took a few steps back.
A green sludge began to cover Izuku and he become a smaller version of the sludge villain!
"Aghh...aghh...w-wow...no...I didn't deactivate that guys quirk...I...I TOOK it..."He spoke with a tone of excitement and fear.
"I see...so your quirk allows you to take away quirks and use them for yourself. A strong quirk indeed." He rubbed his chin.
"I can't believe this...I have such an awesome quirk!"He cheered morphing his whole body into a sludge like creature.
"Hahaha! This is so cool!" He then morphed back with a proud smile on his face.
"Hehehe...well I'm sure you'll put that quirk to good use. Certainly more better then that villain. He wasn't deserving on that power."
"Oh wait...does that mean he's quirkless?...Oh wow...now I feel bad...I stole his quirk...oh boy I even broke a law! I used a quirk on a villain unlicensed!" He went into a frantic panic.
"I wouldn't worry about it. You did something good, yes you did break a rule to do so but you still did a good thing and with no negative draw backs. That counts for something. You saved a life and stopped the villain no one else could before it was too late and neutralized him as a threat without injuring him or using any excessive force." He placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Y-Yeah...I guess your right...besides...I'm sure if I was in trouble those pros would have came after me...since they let me go...I guess...all's well? Hehehe...yeah...besides...he was a bad guy using his power to hurt people. So if that's how he's gonna use his gift then...it's better he not have it." The boy rubbed the back his neck nervously trying to look on the brighter side to this situation.
"I have to agree...now then...boy...I want to ask you something."
"Yes?..." The boy tilted his head.
"How much do you want to be come a hero?" He spoke in a low but stern tone.
Izuku gulped...
"M-More then anything..." He said with courage in his eyes.
"...Very well. Would you like me to train you?"
"Wha?...Train me? Really?!" Izuku beamed in joy.
"Yes. I am a strong fighter and I can teach you all I know. I can teach you how to become a great combatant and how to control your quirk."
"Y-Yes I accept! Mr...um..."
"Stain."
"Stain...jeez that sure sounds like a scary name...say...are you a new hero?"
"No. I'm not a hero." The mysterious man spoke coldly.
"A-Are...you a villain?..." The young boy cowered.
"You could say I'm anti-villain, however don't worry I'm of no threat to you or anyone innocent." He spoke with an earnest tone.
Izuku...wasn't quite sure how to respond to that...he wanted to press on that but he didn't want to run the risk of angering Stain...besides he seemed nice enough...
"Okay...I believe you...and thanks for offering to train...I'll never forget this..." Holds out his hand to Stain and smiles.
"I'm Izuku Midoryia. I'm happy to have you as my mentor Stain." He smiled.
Stain chuckled and shook his hand.
"Anything to help strengthen this generation." Said Stain.
"Now then...meet me near the hiking trail near the local part tomorrow after school. Do NOT keep me waiting." Stain shot a sharp look.
"Ah! Yes sir!" He stood at attention.
"Good. Now let me get you down from here..." Without warning he swooped Izuku off his feet and hopped off the building and preformed a few acrobatics before landing down to the ground.
"AH! Jeez...you could warn me you know?" The boy scuffed getting off.
"Indeed I could...but you really wouldn't learn if I did now would you?" Stain spoke.
"A-...Fair enough..." Izuku stammered.
Stain chuckled again...and Izuku couldn't help but do the same.
"Until tomorrow boy." The man pounced up back onto the roof tops and vanished.
"Man...what a cool guy..." Izuku smiled walking off back home to prepare for tomorrow.
Izuku looked at his hand and smiled.
"I guess...good things really do come to those who wait." The boy smiled.
*With Stain.*
Stain was currently hopping from roof top to roof top grunting.
"( Aghhh...Mt. Lady...your time will have to come some other day...lucky for you...you fake hero...)" He sneered.
"( Though this is worth it. This boy is worthy to be a true hero...and will see he reaches his potential. So for now I'll hold off on purging this society of phony heroes...)"
"( I must say...that is an interesting quirk he has...being able to take away quirks...heh...maybe I could convince him to join me in my crusade. Maybe.)"
"( Either way...only time will tell. )"
He finally came to a stop on top of a large water tank and peered over the city gazing out into the distance.
"Sigh...Hero...I will restore that title." He cursed under his breath.
Too be continued...
*Boom. Hope you enjoyed it. Also Izuku will not inherit One for All in this story and instead the inheritor will be a surprise you'll never guess. Setsuna will be the love interest of Izuku. Also on a plus note Stain has not killed any heroes yet in this current time. Okay bye! Have a beautiful time!*
