The Flora Hero: Overgrowth

Chapter 3: Overgrowth

3rd POV:

"Izuku?" Katsuki suddenly called out as everyone had a face of confusion.

"Hito, isn't Izuku your friend back in middle school that had died?" Kaminari asked Hitoshi as he grabbed his arm, but he was surprised when Hitoshi didn't answer him. He looked to see that his boyfriend that a face of disbelief with tears threatening to fall on his eyes.

"Hmm? What are you looking at and calling me that name, blondy." The mysterious stranger said as he stood up from where he sat and looked down on them with his green and teal eyes. He was looking at them as if they were merely bugs under his feet.

"Izuku! You're alive, but how? I saw you die right in front of my eyes!" Katsuki shouted as tears slowly streamed down his face with his lips quivering slightly.

"Izuku?" The mysterious stranger repeated in a confused fashion that stunned not only Katsuki but Hitoshi as well. "I don't know who that is, you must have the wrong person blondy." The mysterious stranger said with a smirk as this made Katsuki angry.

"You have a scar on your arm!" A voice yelled out that caught the mysterious stranger's attention and everyone else in the alley. Everyone turned their attention to Hitoshi who started to walk in front of everyone to face the mysterious stranger. "The scar on your arm looks like it was sliced that reach all the way to your elbows."

"How do you-" The stranger was then cut off, "Izuku had that same scar on his arm when he saved me from a bully that had a razor quirk. He used his arm to shield me and got his arm cut really badly." Hitoshi continued this time with tears beaming down his eyes from remembering a painful past.

The mysterious stranger was about to say something but a terrible headache hit him that made him put his hand on his head from all the pain. Everyone looked extremely concerned as he started to scream in pain from where he stood.

"Katsuki, Hitoshi," The two turned their attention to Momo who called out to both of them. "If that is really the Izuku you both believe to be then I think that he has amnesia," Momo told them as they both widened their eyes.

"He has amnesia?" Jiro questioned as Momo nodded her head.

"Well from what I can observe he doesn't seem to know his name, he doesn't recognize both Katsuki and Hitoshi who are both his childhood friends since middle school, and having extreme headaches when Hitoshi mentioned a past memory that the both of them should have known. All of these symptoms show the sign of amnesia." Momo assessed as everyone had a realization of the mysterious stranger's situation.

"It's either that is an imposter trying to imitate a deceased person, or that is the actual Izuku with amnesia," Momo added as they heard the stranger scream loudly.

"I'm done with this!" The stranger shouted as giant vines started to grow into the wall where he was standing and started spreading all over the dark alleyway. The vines were decorated with large sharp thorns as the group avoided them.

"I am not Izuku!" He suddenly shouted as everyone turned their attention to him. "I... am... OVERGROWTH!" He declared as his body started to shift and change. Leaves and thorns covered his body, and his hair changed into pink and became longer, as his eyes changed into that of gold and orange. Vines covered in large thorns started to grow out of his shoulders as they made their way to his arms and coiled around them. (His appearance is the same on the cover of this fanfic.)

"Begone." He simply said as he hovered his arms forward and his thorned vines stretched to reach the group.

Katsuki and Hitoshi were caught off guard when the vines were heading straight for them, not having enough time to defend. Luckily, Mina covered her feet with her acid and made her way in front of the two boys at lightning speed. She produced acids from her arms as she splashed them forwards and created a wall that melted the vines.
