The number one hero All Might! Age, unknown! Quirk, also unknown! Ever since he appeared on the hero scene, his strength has won him undisputed popularity. Every year that he's been active has seen a marked decrease in the appearance rate of villains. His existence alone is a deterrent to villainy. He's a man that lives up to his name as the "Symbol of Peace"!
"I believe you, kid, are worthy of inheriting my power!" All Might yelled.
...what?
Izuku looked at All Might in confusion. "Huh?" He must of gotten the point across because All Might threw his head back and laughed.
"What's that face for?! It's a proposal!! The real work begins here. Listen, my boy..." All Might explained as Izuku stared at him, as if he was waiting for a prank to end.
"I'm asking you..." All Might pointed at Izuku while puking up blood. "If you want to try accepting my power!"
Is All Might messed up in the head or something? Going loopy because of blood loss?
"This concerns my quirk, kid," All Might clarified. "The tabloids like to guess that it's 'super strength' or 'boost power'," he explained. "I avoid the question in interviews by making jokes." Izuku nodded in understanding, but still had no idea where this was going. "Because All Might, the 'Symbol of Peace' has to come off as a natural born hero."
Okay, fair, but Izuku is pretty sure everyone thinks that.
"But my quirk was passed down to me. Like the Olympic torch."
"Passed down to you? Really?" Izuku asked in astonishment.
"Yes and now it may be your turn so-" All Might went to explain but Izuku cut him off by flopping onto the floor and started to theorize.
"H-Hold on a second! To be sure, All Might's quirk is one of the seven great mysteries of the world, and there have been endless debates over what it may be. There isn't a day that goes by without some new theory on the internet. But...well...now he says it was passed down to him. Naturally I have no idea what that means...but more than that, that's not even a theory someone's even proposed before. And that's mostly because we still know so little about what quirks really are in the first place. I mean we use the term 'quirk' to begin with because each power or characteristic is so very particular to a single person-" His voice was cut short of the mumbling word garbage when All Might laughed.
"You really doubt me that much?! Nonsense!"
Izuku started to reply only for All Might to cut him off again.
"I have many secrets but I never lie!" All Might waved him off. "I have the ability to transfer power, that's the quirk I inherited. It is called...ONE FOR ALL! The first person cultivates the power and then passes it on to another. The next refines it and passes it on again. Those crying out to be saved and those with brave and true hearts link to form a crystalline network of power!"
"But all this, why...why me?" It was a scary question that Izuku had to ask.
"I've been searching for a successor for a while now and I believe you are worthy. You may be an admirer with a certain look of wildness in your eyes, but back there, you were more heroic than anyone else! But, of course, this choice depends on you! So, what do you say?"
Izuku thought long and hard. He really didn't have any reason not to accept, especially after indulging all these secrets to him!
"Yes, I accept." Izuku said with a smile, the wolf inside him howling with excitement. All Might grinned.
"A quick answer. I expected nothing less."
----------------------------------------------------------
That night, four paws carried Izuku through the streets of Musutafu. He was too excited to stay indoors; he needed to run around. He felt like he could run forever!
Soon enough, the bright city turned into the quiet forest, and he ran until he hit a cliff, slowing down and sitting down on a rock. He sat down and howled as the wind blew gently, finally letting out what he had been doing since that morning. Now he was howling inside and out.
----------------------------------------------------------
A/N: It's finally done! Sorry for taking so long. I got distracted with college stuff. Hopefully it doesn't happen too often. Anyway, that's it for this chapter! Until next time, fellow misfits and freaks!
