Hello, and welcome to a new experimental Boku no Hero Academia fic, and here I will be doing another experiment to see if this would attract readers as this fic will incorporate a mixture of action, adventure and suspense themes as well as adding bit elements of CONSPIRACY. Nostalgia played a factor that led me to come up with this fic mainly due to a HIT video game that was released only in Japan and the US way back in 1998 via the Sony Playstation (now known as the PS 1) console.

Yup, this fic is based on the 1998 Konami game, Metal Gear Solid, which I happened to play it on the PS 1 way back before the year 2000 came. Having played it twice (first which netted me a bandana, and the second time netted me a stealth device), it was enough to bring me back to memory lane. and while the PSP that I have allows me to put on PS 1 files, I chose not to put the MGS file here due to lacking a player 2 controller, which is needed in order to defeat Psycho Mantis, so I settled for a video playthrough to help me come up with a story.

Since this fic will heavily use the plot elements and characters from Metal Gear Solid, Midroiya will be the sole character from Hero Academia to appear, but other BNHA characters will make appearances at the start before the main plot comes in.

Lastly, this fic will be AU, as the setting in the Hero Academia universe will be somewhat different, yet it will retain the pro hero system of sorts, as well as the mentor-pupil relationship between All Might and Midoriya.

Well then, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Himitsu no tōchaku

At an unidentified area within the base somewhere…

The scene shows that the area appeared to be a huge base, which was somewhat abandoned years ago, only to become manned after a group of terrorists invaded the base and uses it as their own headquarters and had several men stationed to serve as lookouts and guards, and to shoot on sight anyone who comes across the perimeters. Front; back; both left and right sides…the men, dressed in snow-proof camouflage, are more than trained professionals.

They are armed to the teeth, wielding high-powered firearms, and they seemed to be doing their assignments well, as they did not mind the atmosphere around them at the present, for it is snowing heavily, in which the visibility makes it difficult for those who are used to the normal visibility of any weather.

At the moment there are about 30 armed guards guarding the base, and each pair took turns in patrolling their surrounding area and are making sure that any threat would be eliminated regardless of whether an unfortunate someone who shows up is armed or not.

One example would be a traveling Eskimo happened to accidentally came across the area, unaware of the impending danger due to the heavy snowfall, and as the Eskimo unknowingly took a step, the armed guards surrounded the poor individual, and the Eskimo raised his hands in a surrendering gesture, and asked if the armed guards are robbers, and told them he has nothing valuable to take, but the armed guards did not respond.

"Whoa! Wait! I'm just a traveler!"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"I don't have any money! I'm not armed! Don't shoot!"

"…"

"…"

"…"

The guards then opened fire and shoots down the Eskimo, and they kept on shooting him even after the victim is already dying, as the guards are tasked to take out any potential threat, and the guards fired several rounds of bullets and only stopped after a minute, and once they confirmed the victim's death, the other armed guards grabbed the dead body and intend to dispose of it to a SAFE PLACE.

The guards who disposed the body then told the other guards that they have disposed the dead Eskimo, and the other guards told their fellow guards to continue monitoring the areas and make sure there are no intruders within the vicinity, and to kill on sight if they see anything moving towards their designated spots, which the guards nodded.

After that, the guards went back to their posts and continued to monitor their surrounding areas.

At a secret military base, which appeared to be somewhere within Asia, where several military heads, diplomats and other high-ranking politicians, are huddling, and it is shown that they are inside a conference room and they appeared to be anxious about something. Something that they are fighting against time and they are working to beat the clock in order to avert a potentially destructive crisis that may or may not happen depending on the results.

The military officials, the diplomats and several key figures of international agencies are dealing with a terrorist that has taken control of an abandoned base that is located at Shadow Moses Island, which is at Alaska. The officials that are convening are from Japan, South and North Korea, China, Russia, England, and the United States of America.

The agencies involved in the meeting include:

- The FBI

- The CIA

- Interpol

- MI-6

- The KGB

The officials are now discussing about putting up some contingency plan in case their mission is unsuccessful, which only added more to the tension as they began arguing on how this crisis happened and who should take the blame, where they began pointing fingers at each other and argued that THE ONE they heard being sent might become a failure and now an internal dispute is threatening to spiral out of control inside the conference room.

"This is all your fault!"

"Me!"

"Wait, calm down!"

"Pointing fingers won't help matters!"

"Maybe it's because…"

"Are you provoking me?"

"So you want to declare war?"

"Gentlemen…stop…"

However, the monitor flashed and someone appeared, where he urged the officials to calm down and not argue among themselves, saying that the secret mission has already began and that they should have faith in this person who is willingly going to stop the terrorists and avert the potential crisis, and save the world from devastation.

The US Diplomat then told the unseen individual at the monitor that he should be held liable given that the leader of the terrorist group ORIGINATED from Japan and is a bonafide TURNCOAT, saying that Japan failed to address the possibility that one of Japan's own rising potential would turn to terrorism and cause a problem, which he pointed out the current crisis they are in.

The official is finally shown, where you can see that the unseen individual is revealed where he turn out to be an anthropomorphic white-colored rodent dressed in a business attire. He is revealed as Nezu, and he acknowledged that the person who turn to terrorism is indeed one of Japan's potential, but went astray, and there Nezu assured to the US Diplomat that the operative he sent will do all he can to stop the terrorists from carrying out the threat.

"Calm yourself, sir."

"Calm down, you say…how can I…"

"I assure you, we are doing all we could…and the operative I sent…"

"Will he be enough to stop this ragtag group from causing a potential apocalypse?"

"Yes."

"…"

"Let us have faith in him."

"…"

The other officials stared at each other before staring at Nezu, and most of them voiced their concern about who would be this operative and how can he fare against a group of terrorists who each possess strong Quirks and that they have hostages as well as taking possession of a nuclear weapon that is set to target certain key countries with the press of a button.

They also asked Nezu if sending one operative is enough to deal with the potential crisis, and Nezu said the person he sent will be more than enough.

"Really?"

"Are you sure?"

"Don't you think this operative you sent would be in a handicap?"

"Fear not. He is the right one for the mission."

"Still…"

"One person against a strong group with almost four times the number of their henchmen…"

"Don't you think that's a bit…"

"He is more than enough. He can stop the terrorists and avert the possible disaster. You have my word on that."

The officials glanced at each other and reluctantly nodded, as they decided to place their hoped on Nezu's words, hoping that this operative would be strong enough to derail the terrorist group from carrying out the threat to cause worldwide murder and possible genocide.

The scene shifts back at the base, where the guards continue to make their rounds amid the increasing intensity of the snowfall, and some of the guards believe that a blizzard is currently happening, and questioned one another if there is really any threat here given the heavy snowfall and there is no way the US Navy SEALS would make their way here given the thick snow, and that travel by sea and air is impossible at this stage given the bad weather.

"Damn…"

"The snow's getting thicker…"

"Yeah, can't see a damn thing."

"Still…our orders are to guard the place and shoot down anyone who is not one of us."

"Hey…want to take a cigar break…?"

"Hmm…are you sure…?"

"Yeah…there's nobody here and there's not a fool who has the brains to come here barefooted…"

"I guess…"

However, the other group of guards came and reminded them why they were hired, and told them to stop complaining as aside from being paid, they will also be part of a successful plan that would cause the top countries to give in to the demands and that they can create more money than they even dreamed of, and told them that they are the best and they should show their BOSS why they were chosen as the guards of this base.

The guards glanced at each other and realized that their fellow guards are right and said that they will do as told as long as they are paid well.

"He's right…"

"Yeah…and we can get more money…"

"So, will you continue following orders?"

"Do that and you'll be rewarded twice the amount."

"Sure!"

"We'll do it!"

"Good."

"Back to your post."

While the guards resumed their patrol, others are seen near the docks, where they watched the waters to see if there are any suspicious swimmers attempting to get by here, and one of the guards saw something and opened fire, which attracted the other guards, and as they arrived, they sighed as it turn out that the guard just fired at a group of penguins, and they told their fellow guard to be mindful and be careful, as a slight carelessness would lead them to trouble.

"Geez…"

"Sorry…I thought they're intruders."

"Don't waste your ammo."

"Yeah…we're not here to do some target practice."

"Sorry about that."

"Just get rid of those dead birds."

"And make sure that they are not to be seen…you know how the boss would react…"

"Okay, okay…"

As the guards resumed their patrol, they are unaware that something is heading to an unmanned portion of the base, and the secret operative stealthily got ashore and looked for a place to hide in preparation for his assigned stakeout. The operative slowly removed his waterproof swim gear and is revealed to be wearing a hero costume of his own. He turn out to be an 17-year old boy who just graduated from UA High School. He is identified as Izuku Midoriya, but in an ironic twist of fate, he appeared less thrilled about this stakeout.

In a series of flashback scenes, it is revealed that Midoriya is originally a Quirkless middle school student who is an avid admirer of Toshinori Yagi, aka All Might. Having witnessed Midoriya's actions in attempting to save a fellow boy despite being Quirkless, All Might decides to pass his Quirk, One For All to Midoriya and did so after training the boy for 10 months.

There Midoriya entered UA High School and began studying in becoming a pro hero, and Midoriya's connection with All Might is kept a secret, which during his schooling, All Might fought his bitter enemy, All For One, in which All Might is forced to use up his remaining Quirk and is now powerless, yet finally defeated his enemy, resulting in the villain's death.

All Might retired and lived quietly yet still have an open communication with some of the military officials and the police. However, through unknown means, the military discovered All Might's connection with Midoriya, and when a former UA High School student went rogue and joined a feared terrorist group, which the group managed to kill some of the best pro heroes being sent to stop them, as well as capturing an abandoned base at Alaska, kidnapping some key persons and took possession of nuclear weapons, the military in Japan, in conjunction with the military from the US, North Korea, China and Russia, decided that they should send someone to Alaska, which the terrorist group have no knowledge about, the military officials covertly abducted Midoriya, and contacted All Might, explaining to him the situation.

Seeing that the situation is indeed grave, All Might decides to talk to Midoriya and Nezu about it, and Nezu persuades Midoriya to take part in this secret mission, and the 17-year old boy reluctantly accepted, on the condition that he would only take orders from Nezu.

Back at the present, Midoriya uses a codec that is hidden inside his left ear, and contacted Nezu, informing him that he is now inside the base.

"Principal Nezu…"

"Yes, Midoriya-kun."

"I got in. I'm inside the base."

"Good. However, you should be careful. Despite having a best Quirk, you cannot use it freely as the targets have good eyes."

"I know."

"Stealth is your weapon for now. Try to go around without being seen. I'll have someone send you the information on the terrorists that you would encounter later on. and be careful. Your mission…"

"I know. To stop them from activating the nuclear weapons and stall the terrorists long enough for allied forces to come here and stop the rest. I'll be careful, Principal Nezu."

"Good luck, Midoriya-kun."

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this opening chapter, and while there's not much action here apart from the introduction is some of the foot soldiers of the still-unidentified terrorists…it did feature some of the Hero Academia characters, such as All Might, Nezu and Midoriya.

Also, I sort of altered some of the plot elements from Metal Gear Solid, in which I had them change a bit in order to fit in with the elements of Hero Academia. Moreover, with Midoriya being the main character, I sort of blend in the elements of the MGS story with MHA, and as stated above, it's sort of an AU, as Midoriya is now portrayed as graduated from UA while a UA Student deserted the school and joined the said-terrorist group. More on that in the upcoming chapters.

Preview:

Midoriya attempts to sneak his way around avoiding confrontations with the armed goons while on a search for some of the hostages he is tasked to rescue…

See you in 6 weeks (probably around the last week of January or early February 2020)…

Reviews are welcomed, but needed…
