Twins of Duality

Chapter 1: USJ Attack! Demaku's First Test!

As the purple mist began to dissipate, Izuku found that he was transported somewhere in the mountain rescue area of the USJ. No villains were in sight.

"Welcome hero." Izuku turned around behind him to find a person in a grey and green zip-up hoodie standing there, the fur filled hood pulled over their head so far that only their mouth and chin were visible, hands in their hoodies' pockets.

"W-who are you?" Izuku shakily asked.

"You may not know me," the hooded figure replied. "But I know you... Deku-kun."

Izuku's eyes widened at the childhood nickname. "How do you know that name?!" Izuku cried.

"Like I said Deku," the hooded person said. "I know you. Even if you don't know me. Although with how much we used to play together back when were younger, I can't see how you wouldn't know me."

It was this moment when Izuku took in the rest of the strangers attire. Their lower body clothes had the same color scheme as their upper body clothes. Grey windbreaker sweatpants with green accents and what seemed to be grey and green metal sabatons as well as metal greaves of the same color scheme as the rest of the strangers outfit. They also had metal fingerless gauntlets on each hand with metal elbow pads and metal shoulder pads.

"So, I met this person before..." Izuku thought to himself. "Though I don't seem to remember having any other good childhood friends other than Kacchan that called me Deku though."

"Of course you don't remember me," the stranger suddenly said. "It was so long ago that only someone with a memory as good as mine could remember it."

"Wait!" Izuku thought. "Why did he only speak after I was done thinking?"

The hooded person giggled and said, "Why, that's because I have a quirk that allows me to read one's thoughts!"

Izuku gasped. He started to take note that the stranger's voice sounded a bit similar to his own, but with a slightly lower pitch. As a matter of fact, the stranger was also the exact same height and body build as Izuku! So, the stranger was male, Izuku figured that much, but he began to wonder, why did the stranger look so similar to him? Was it just a coincidence? Or did the stranger have a transformation quirk that made him look like him?

"I'll ask you one more time," Izuku stated. "Who are you?"

The stranger pulled off their hood to reveal short white hair and a pair of green ski goggles cover their face. "My name is Kaze Tenshi..." said the stranger. "But you may call me... Demaku!" A smile of both joy and seldom covered his face.

At this point it seemed to Izuku that this Demaku person was just a teenage boy like him. The boys white hair also had the same style as Izuku's hair, this showing another similarity between them. Izuku shrugged it off.

"What's your business here?" Izuku asked. "What's a teenager like you doing here? During a villian attack for that matter?!"

Demaku turned his head to the side. "Why, I'm with the LOV of course!" He said holding up his right pointer finger. "But I have no quarrel with All Might nor am I against the Pro Heroes. No, I'm only here for one thing..."

"YOU!" He said pointing at Izuku.

"Me?!" Izuku exclaimed. "Why do you want me?!"

Demaku lowered his finger. "I've had my eye on you for a long time Deku," the teenage villian explained. "I've seen you and that quirk of yours in action. And so, I would like to test you."

Izuku rubbed the back of his neck in confusion. "That's it?" Izuku said. "You just want to test me?"

Demaku placed one hand on his hip and his other in his hoodie. "Why of course!" Demaku exclaimed. "I'd like to see how strong my old friend has become! Is that so wrong?"

Izuku looked around trying to think of a way to get away but he was on the peak of a mountain with a pretty high fall. "Looks like I don't have much of choice." He thought.

The villian clapped his hands together. "Great!" He announced. "Be warned though, we may be best friends, but that doesn't mean I'll go easy on you. Are you ready, Deku-kun?"

Izuku shifted into a fighting stance. "As ready as I"ll ever be!" Izuku declared.

Demaku immediately sprinted towards Izuku with great speed, catching Izuku off guard. Demaku brings his right leg up towards Izuku's head in a roundhouse kick. Izuku brings his arms up and blocks the kick, counterattacking with a One For All powered flick. The force released from his finger sends the villian flying backwards, but he backflips mid air and lands on his feet. A sphere of plasmic energy gathers at his pointer finger. Demaku makes a finger gun with said finger and fires a plasmic bullet! Izuku rolls out of the way just before the bullet could hit. Demaku begins to rapidly fire his finger gun, filling the air with plasma bullets. Izuku ducks, weaves, bobs, and rolls trying his best not get hit by the deadly projectiles. Demaku begins gathering plasma within his pointer finger until it begins to glow white with energy. "One Finger Plasma Beam!" Demaku shouts as a wide beam of plasmic energy is released from his finger.

Izuku pulls his fist back, activating One For All. "Detroit... SMAAAASH!" Izuku punches right at the beam, the air force collides with it creating an explosion! As the smoke clears, both Demaku and Deku are still standing.

"Enough!" Demaku cries. "The test is over, and you passed with flying colors. We will meet again eventually Deku and when we do, you'll be given your second test. So train, become stronger in preparation for the fight to come. Hopefully that quirk of yours won't hurt you when used by then. Until we meet again, good luck on your journey Deku!"

Demaku walked through a purple warp gate and left Deku to reside with his warning of their next encounter.
