Megidramon Deku

The Fake Successor

NARRATOR: A new day presents itself to the students in their new home and in a way their new "neighbors", Izuku after waking up and passing through his morning routine spends his morning seeing if his classmates need any kind of help, after spending the whole morning with his classmates Izuku walk out to meet All Might at his office

IZUKU: *knocking* All Might are you there? it's me Midoriya

AM: oh! Midoriya-shounen come in and have a seat

NARRATOR: Upon entering the room, Izuku sees that it's not just All Might in the room, with him is Mirio and an elderly man with a cane next to them

IZUKU: hello Mirio it's been a while hasn't it?

MIRIO: yo Izuku! i thought i would only see you again in a few days

IZUKU: what do you mean by that?

MIRIO: let's leave it as a surprise ok?

IZUKU: hai~ hai~ by the way who is this jii-san?

AM: he is one of my mentors when I started studying to be a hero

IZUKU: Oh! nice to meet you jii-san, I'm Midoriya Izuku

GT: eh? *puts hand over ear* who are you?

IZUKU:... so All Might what did you want to talk to me about?

GT: OI! don't ignore me!

IZUKU: if you're here you're not just anyone, so acting like a senile old man with memory problems, after all All Might introduced you

GT: tch at least you show respect for the elders, you can call me Gran Torino brat

IZUKU: *smirk* you can count on me kuso-jiji

MIRIO: hahahaha! looking like this, it seems that you are related

AM: *sigh* let's get back to the subject I called you two here for, as this subject relates to you two

IZUKU: You mean it's something related to One For All?

MIRIO: EH!? do you know about it?

GT: did you tell him Toshinori?

IZUKU: I mean it's not hard to imagine that, if you had seen what I could do and found out about that you would probably ask why he not offered it to me, which is exactly what this musclehead did

AM: M-Midoriya-shounen you doesn't have to be so mean

IZUKU: *stern look* if you remember my answer tell me how come you didn't think of it sooner if you were the #1 hero back then? this is not something an adult was supposed to ignore

GT: By the looks of things you turned down the offer right?

IZUKU: of course!

MIRIO: but why?

IZUKU: well I'm going to assume you guys watched the sports festival and saw my dragon form, that was the third time I transformed completely and pretty much everything I did was pure instinct as I didn't have any control over it and I just started to have more control recently, now imagine what would happen if someone who was born with a power so great that they can barely control it is given another equally powerful quirk and that would not only get stronger when transferred but would strengthen what he already had and that is easily influenced by his emotions, what would be the result?

GT: Toshinori you are indeed a big idiot, I agree with the boy you are a musclehead

MIRIO: Sorry All Might, but I have to agree with them

IZUKU: so right after I rejected him I said that instead of a single pillar like he did it was better to have several, otherwise the situation would just get worse and repeat it self, and I consider it a big failure on his part

GT: hmm indeed if he had more people who could match him things might have been different

AM: *crying* I got it the first time, you guys don't have to team up to bully me, *coughing* but back to the point, Midoriya-shounen, Mirio-shounen do you remember when I mentioned about All For One?

IZUKU: he is your nemesis and the creator of OFA

MIRIO: and that there was a possibility that I would have to face him

AM: yes, I'll go straight to the point, that boy I faced was him and he thinks Midoriya-shounen is my successor

IZUKU: AH COM ON! I have enough problems of my own and now some power-hungry nut is going to come after me? *tired sigh* give me a break

MIRIO: that boy? I thought he would be someone with an adult appearance or someone entering their elderly phase

AM: I agree with both, that's why what I'm going to ask you is difficult, I want Midoriya-shounen to pretend to be my successor while Mirio-shounen trains to perfect OFA

IZUKU:..,

MIRIO: sorry I think I didn't hear you right, can you say it again?

AM: please don't make me repeat

MIRIO:... I... I don't know if it is the right thing to do, if I spoke to Sir he would probably tell me to accept this request but... I have to think a little about it

AM: I completely understand and it's completely understandable, what about you Midoriya-shounen?

IZUKU:...

GT: oi! boy!

IZUKU:... I accept with one condition

AM: that will depend

IZUKU: *shaking head* no, either accept it or I'm out, it's up to you to decide

AM: I need to know what it is first

IZUKU: you said I have a target on my back, a lunatic for stealing quirks wants to come after me because he thinks I'm your successor, and that he will do anything to get what he wants, whether i'm the real or false sucessor i won't do what you did

AM: I still don't unders-

IZUKU: I will not abandon my family and leave them in the dark that they have targets behind their backs whose only objective would be to harm me, you are making two mistakes here

GT: what would they be kid?

IZUKU: the first is you chose to fight this battle in the shadows but now you're asking us to do the same, if it's our choice we decide if we remain in the shadows or if we reveal this to the public, you no longer have the right to deny our decision

AM:...

IZUKU: Second, can you really guarantee that AFO will really keep this in the shadows now that he's revealed himself? it is likely that he reveals the truth just to cause some panic not only in the population but also in our fellow heroes

GT:... *sigh* Toshinori what he says makes sense and neither you nor I will be able to find any arguments to refute it, but boy we can't just give you an answer now, we have to think about everything you said

IZUKU: I'll be waiting for your answer so if you'll excuse me I'm going back to my dorm *stopping in front of the door*

AM: Midoriya-shounen?

IZUKU: *turns around with a smile* now that you've heard my opinion on this I might as well accept it but Shiori and Momo will know, Mirio I suggest that you choose two people you can trust and tell them, All Might, Gran Torino as I said you chose to fight in the shadows and alone, now it's our turn to decide

MIRIO: a-are you really going to put yourself at risk like that?

IZUKU: we're being trained to be heroes and that's what they do, plus few things in the world can hurt me so while the target It's me, I can handle it, is there anything else you want to discuss?

AM: I... *sigh* I think that's it for now

NARRATOR: Izuku leaves the room leaving the other three thinking deeply about his harsh, cruel but true words, as well surprising them by agreeing to become a scapegoat, becoming All Might's fake successor, returning to the dorm he spends the rest of the day hanging out having fun with his classmates as if nothing had happened and at the end of the day he gets ready for the classes that would start the next day
