The Legendary Hero: Deku (Discontinued)

Running from the Past

"I don't believe in living in the past. Living in the past is for cowards. If you live in the past, you die in the past." - Mike Ditka

Four days before the Sports Festival

I was in a dark room looking around at my surroundings. I was alone in a room that had no furniture but I felt the overwhelming power of One for All around me.

"Hello ninth!" I turned around and saw what looked to be a bright star with overwhelming light and energy.

"Who are you?" I asked confused.

"I am the embodiment of One for All," the quirk said. "I am not the users itself but instead a collection of everyone the wielded this overwhelming curse. To be honest this is a first for all the users really."

"What do you mean exactly?"

"This is the first time all previous users tried contacting you all at once. They really want to talk to you, try to warn you about the near future."

"What's wrong about the future, is One for All in danger?"

"Yes it is, but you're the only one that can save it. And the only one that destroy it." I stood there shocked at what the bright star said in complete disbelief. "I know that you are confused right now so please let me explain with the little time we have."

I quickly nodded waiting with anticipation to what the quirk had to say. "One for All is a complicated quirk with almost no weaknesses with other quirks. But there is something within you stopping the progress with One for All. It has been incredibly difficult for not only your physical body to control the new advancements, but your mind is blocking any and all progress to make the quirk stronger. The more and more the previous users try and unlock more power for you to get, there is something within you stopping any and all progress."

I stared with disbelief at what the quirk was telling me. I stood there thinking of the many possibilities of what could've caused the sudden stoppage of progress. "Listen," continued the quirk, "our time is running low so think of something quick. There is mass danger coming your way and really soon. No matter how strong you are physically it does not matter right now, you have to focus and improve everything in your mind right now!"

Slowly but surely the quirk started to slowly disappear right before my eyes but the powerful energy still enveloping me. "Everything that is slowing you down is in your mind! You can do this ninth we believe in you!"

Eight hands came out of the bright star and one by one started to touch my forehead, each hand giving me a huge amount of energy. But I could feel everything they felt throughout their life, their pain, their sacrifice, and their suffering.

"Be a hero!"

With the sudden emotions flowing within me I woke up alone in my bedroom. I quickly looked for someone to hug, someone to tell me it would be ok but no one was there. No one.

I looked at my right hand and saw the remaining power from One for All still lingering throughout my hand. But I looked over to my left, to not see the pinkish vein-like electricity that was One for All, but instead, it was a dark crimson red that was leaking out. It hurt whenever this appeared but one thing was racing through my mind when I saw this raw power.

It was not the power of One for All.

Elsewhere (Same Time Unknown POV)

I awoke from sleep feeling some sort of disturbance within my mind. It was clear that None for All was taking more and more of a toll on my body due to its incomplete nature. But today this is different. It was clear that the quirk was getting stronger now, soon it will be complete with the help of Midoryia.

I got out of bed and walked over to the UA files, each file is written by me, and researched through and through. I grabbed Izuku's file looking at the green mop head that was getting the interest from master.

I opened the file and read the details that I wrote within it.

Name: Izuku Midoryia

Age: 15

Height: 166 cm

Quirk: One for All

Additional Information: Father is deceased, the mother is deceased, the older brother was killed. He is the last of the Midoryia's. Master's plan to kill them all will finally come to an end.

I heard a knock on the door, I turned to see Shigarki opening the door. "The Sports Festival is starting," he said with a scratchy voice with each word he spoke he scratched and scratched his rough skin, "master wants us to both watch it."

I closed the file and threw it on the table and started walking towards the door saying, "let's go watch Izuku Midoryia go crazy!"

Present Time (Izuku Midoryia's POV)

I open my eyes and I look around to see all of the first year students standing in the crowd listening to the "young and beautiful hero" Midnight. I roll my eyes at the outfit she calls her hero costume, 'honestly' I think to myself. 'Who aproves of that costume.'

"ARE YOU SEEING THIS MINETA!!!" Whispered yell Karminari pointing his thumb towards Midnight.

"I ALREADY HAVE SOME GREAT PICTURES!!" Mineta responded.

"Quiet you!" Uraraka said with anger, hitting both preverts upside the head.

'Now that's a woman' I thought to myself.

"And now to give the students pledge is Class 1-A's Katsuki Bakugo."

We stared in silence, with each step he took memory upon memory played in my head, each step echoed through my mind, each step angered me. The punches, the kicks, the fucking words he said to me.

"You should just pray that you have a quirk in your next life. Why don't you take a swan dive off the roof you Deku."

That dumb asshole, each step he took it reminded me that I needed to be better than him. Show him just because I had One for All I could beat him without my quirk. But in the end, during all those years of taking punches from him, I used One for All at our first real fight and still lost.

He finally reached the microphone, everyone waiting for anticipation of what he would say. He looked straight at my eyes, each second felt like an eternity, neither one of us blinked. But I could feel the cold daggers coming from the half-cold, half-hot quirk user.

"I will beat you."

Those four words, what many thoughts was a student promising he was going to win, but in reality, it was a promise to finally put someone he knew in their place.
