Izuku was walking toward the park, he was about to meet up with Ochako. He was excited about his date, just like every time. She was like an angel to him, and even if sometimes she seemed unreal, he wasn't complaining the slightest.

"Fool."

"Not you again," replied Izuku to the voice. It has been playing him for the past few weeks, shortly after he started dating Ochako. It seemed that his past self-doubts never left him, but he wasn't about to give in. She would never hurt him. She was better than that he knew it.

"She's no different than the others. She doesn't care about you, only mother did."

"Stop it, leave me alone!"

"you're choice." the voice left.

He was getting tired of this inner conflict, and a bit worried the green haired teen sighted. "Maybe I should check this up with a spy." but first, he had something more important to do.

He arrived at the park entrance and saw no one. Thinking that he had arrived first, he waited for Ochako. However, she wasn't showing up, and Izuku was getting worried, "maybe she's already in the park." Izuku walked around searching for his girlfriend, without success. "But where could she be," he wondered.

He finally managed to saw her in the distance, walking in the wood area. He tried to call her, but she didn't hear him. So he went after his girlfriend, hoping to catch up with her quickly. As he drew closer, he noticed she was approaching someone else, who revealed himself to be Kaibara. 

"What is she-" before he could finish his question, he saw something that froze him. She hugged Kaibara and kissed him. Something inside him, broke. Like his entire world just fell apart in an instant.

HE ran away, tears in his eyes, not wanting to look at the scene anymore. He ran aimlessly, without paying attention to his surrounding. All he could feel was the pain in his jest, from the betrayal of the person he loved the most. Now he was trying to get away from her, his life, the world, just to be in a place alone. 

At one point, his legs were too tired to continue, so he stopped. He fell on the ground, standing back to a column. Looking around him, he saw that he was at a highway junction at the city's outskirts, the sound of cars and trucks passing by at high speed.

"I told you, didn't I? That she was playing us."

"I just thought, that I could be happy, for once. Since her death, she was the only other good part of my life," cried Izuku. "But, who are you?"

"I am a part of you, the one that will protect you from now on. We can't trust anyone in this world but ourselves. Do you understand?" Izuku nodded.

"Good, and you can call me Ukuzi."

Izuku just sat here, thinking about what went wrong in his life. Ochako, she gave him faked hope only to take it away. She made him believed she loved him, tsch what a load of crap it was. She was just like, no, she was worst than the rest. Because at least the others made no secret that they scoffed at him, while she gained his trust to better destroy him from the inside.

The boy stood up, heavily breathing, holding his fist. He suddenly felt something he had never felt before, a storm growing inside him to destroy everything in his path. It was rage. The metal debris lying around him started to shake. And as Izuku's anger grew, they started to levitate around him. Suddenly he pushed a roar, pouring in it all the years of suffering he had endured,  the mockery, the beating. At the same time, the metal pieces that were flying blew outward, scattered all around him. The metal armament of the columns holding the highway started to shake. The concrete started to crack under the pressure of Izuku's newfound power. It was at this moment that Ukuzi stepped in.

"IZUKU, PLEASE CALM DOWN! I know you're pissed, but if you don't stop, people are going to get seriously hurt!"

Izuku stopped and started looking around him. "Wait! I did that?"

"Yep. Isn't it ironic? Spending our whole life being ostracized for being quirkless, and now look at this," sarcastically commented Ukuzi. The green haired boy almost wanted to laugh, he rose his hand toward a metal place, focusing on it. Slowly but surely, it started to float in the air. 

"Now what," as he let it drop to the ground.

"To be honest, I don't know. You're the boss," replied the other voice.

Izuku thought for a moment before coming up with something. "Guess it is time to disappear."

"Oh, I like that," as Izuku was walking away, back to the orphanage.


Ochako was running in the street. After waking up from her trance at the park and realizing what she was doing, the only thing she had in mind was finding Izuku. From what she understood, a boy named Shinso had brainwashed her into cheating on Izuku with kaibara. The latter had told her everything when he realized she wasn't acting on her own consent.

Flashback

"Izuku is the weak link, so he's the one that we need to strick."

"And how exactly do you expect us to do that?"

"Easy, I can brainwash people. So all I need to do is make her getting intimate with someone else, like you, and make the quirkless witness it."

Kaibara couldn't believe what he heard, "okay so your master plan is to, illegally use your quirk to commit rape?"

"Don't put out the big word. It will be nothing more than a simple kiss, that's all. Nothing too big."

"No, exclaimed Kaibara backing up, "I won't participate in what is basically a crime over a girl. This is just plain wrong even to consider such a thing." He walked off but turned around as he was about to enter the building, "and don't even think of going along with this, because I'll throw you off."

After Shinso was alone, he smugged in annoyance, "It's not like you can stop me."

End of Flashback

Since then, she had a dreaded feeling about Izuku. She needed to find and NOW before something bad happened. Kaibara told her was told that Izuku was living in the orphanage in the area so she quickly ran to the place. Once she arrived, she was meet with a scene of horror. The orphanage was being evacuated as a fire alarmed blasted off. Part of the first floor was visibly burning. 

Panicked, she goes to one of the staff members, "excuse me, ha-have you seen Izuku. He's a boy, a bit taller than me with green messy hair."

The personnel looked around before replying, "I can't see him, I think he's still inside."

Ochako started to rush toward the building before she was stopped. "Where do you think you're going? This is dangerous."

"LET ME GO, I NEED TO SAVE HIM," screamed Ochako, "LET ME GO." However, the adult dragged her away from the scene, trying to calm her down. A call from her phone caught her attention.

"Hello," said Izuku's voice.

"Izuku, wh-where are you? Please tell me you're not inside!"

"Can we drop the act? I know you don't give a damn about me, you never did."

"Izuku please, if this is about what happened in the park, let me explai-"

"There is nothing to explain," he cut her with a dryer voice. "You've mocked us for long enough. You've hurt Izuku in the worst way imaginable, so you have nothing to explained. We know what we saw."

Ochako was confused by what she just heard. "why is he suddenly talking as if he was two persons," she thought.

"Our life was nothing but misery, so now it is time to leave this world in panache."

"Wait please, don't!" However, she was cut short when the first floor of the orphanage blew up, causing the rest of the structure to collapse. 

"NNOOOOOO!!!"

Ochako fell on her knee, as she watched the rest of the ruins burning.

Many of you are going to hate me for this ending. But that's how it is going to be. Be ready for the second arc with Ochako's dealing with the aftermath.
