A boy, A battle, and A buddy (DISCONTINUED)

To be or not be a hero pt. 2

All Might POV

As soon as I didn't feel the bottle, I booked it downstairs and out the front door.

I stood on the sidewalk until I heard an explosion about three blocks down. Then booked it again to the scene of the event, silently cursing myself out for my stupidity!

'I let a villain get away not once! but twice!' 'Please let there be no hostages this time, please!!'

However... my fear was confirmed when I reached the source of the explosion.. and a young boy was struggling against the slime monster and trying desperately to get him off with small explosions from his hands...

Izuku's POV
I was left in shock of what just happened. 'Did my childhood inspiration just say that?' ' Maybe it was just a joke..!' ' No, that's ridiculous,  he was so serious'.

Soft but silent cries escaped as I slid to the ground. I knew all along that it was true but I so desperately wanted it not to be. The whole ESA thing was a new factor thrown in just an hour and a half ago.

My thoughts and cries were broken when I heard an explosion about three blocks away. I scrambled to my feet and to the stairway door. Thankfully, All Might forgot to relock it and I slung the door open and went down the stairs as quickly as possible and out to the front door. I sprinted down the sidewalk until I met with the source of the sound. But the face I saw encased in the slime will be one I'll never forget.

"Ka-cch-an.." I muttered to myself, and the look in his eyes just screamed ' Help me'. The pros were doing everything they could but every attempted was futile. ' I bet All Might would have been able to help..' ' But I wasted his time and his energy' 'If I wasn't so insistent on getting a verbal answer this would have never happened'. 

Then one look changed everything. Kacchan gave one final look of ' Help me, please' and it seemed to be directed at me. Next thing I knew I saw sprinting towards the villain, multiple people called out for me to stop even pros but I refused to listen. In the heat of the moment, I remembered my hero notes that I left at home and mentally flipped through until I found a solution.  

I then grabbed an empty soda and chucked it straight into the villain's eye. This caused it to lose focus and grip on Kacchan. Kacchan coughed roughly and sputtered the goo out of his mouth before saying" What on earth do you're doing Deku??". " You just had look that screamed help me and my legs moved on their own!". 

By this point, the villain had regained focus and had its eyes set on me. "You're the brat from earlier!" " Now I can really finish what I started!" It laughed before it tried to suck me into the goop. 

Then like a scene out of a movie, a large silhouette appeared and proclaimed " If YOU'RE gonna finish what you started, THEN SO AM I!" "DETROIT SMASH!". The crowd went wild and started chanting " ALL MIGHT, ALL MIGHT".  And for the second time, my vision blurred out with the last thing I saw being his bright smile. 

When I, again, woke up from passing out, I was surrounded by Pros. Unlike kacchan who was surrounded and being praised by Pros for his bravery, I was being severely scolded by the Pros which made me cry. Which was just the cherry on top of my afternoon. 

After being finally released by the Pros, I walked of the rest way home in thought and silence. Mainly reflecting on my afternoon and what my future holds now. That was until I heard a voice call out to me. "Oi, Deku!" " Turn around you weakling" I spun around to see Kacchan walking up to me. " You didn't need to save me today, I was perfectly fine by myself!" "All you did was get in the way" "Also you dropped this". 

I looked down to see he had my certification paper for my ESA. " Take care of that mutt, ya hear?"See you Monday, Deku" He mumbled before shoving it to me and walking off. ' I will, I promise'. 

I turned back around to start heading home again when All Might suddenly slid in front of me. "Gah! How'd you get here! I thought you were surrounded by reporters!" I studdered quickly which made him laugh. " I am All Might, I can get out of any situation! I also need to make an apology and a correction."."First, I apologize for being so rude, I don't know what got into me" Second, Most heroes have stories from there school days and all they have one thing in common, their bodies started moving on their own and that spurred others to act. When you ran into that fight, you spurred me to act!" "With that being said, I want to tell you that.."

"You can be a hero and I want you to inherit my quirk"

I just fell the to the ground, clenching my shirt in my hand. I couldn't believe that this was real. Without a moment of hesitation I yelled "Yes! I will be your successor!"

"But I've never heard of an inherited quirk in terms of straight giving it to someone..." I trailed off before muttering so quickly it was almost impossible to understand. I was cut short by All Might waking me square on the head. "Stop that, your scaring me, anyway can I count on seeing you Monday morning? 5am sharp at Dagoba Beach for training?"

I jumped to my feet and said "Yes sir! I won't disappoint!"

"Atta boy, also there is one small condition you must follow." You tell anybody and I mean ANYBODY about this, if this got out you and I would be a massive target."Got it?"

"Got it" I replied sharply.

He gave warm smile before jumping away, leaving me smiling like an idiot. I then rushed home because, knowing mom, she's freaking out right now because of the fight and because I was supposed to home hours ago.

And I was correct, The second I got in the door she was all over me about the fight and where I was which, following All Might's rule, told her I took a scenic route and got turned around and ended up at the scene of the fight, then I dropped what I've been holding in all afternoon.

"Mom, I got certificated for an ESA". With tears in her eyes she slung her small body and almost whispered "Anything that helps you, be a better you, I'll take it."

But almost instantly she got up, changed her demeanor, and said in a serious and almost scary tone " But I better NOT end up being the one taking care of it, understood?"

"Y-yup!"

"Great!" she chirped like nothing happened "When can we get the little guy?"

"Well, my therapist said they already dog lined up at a special shelter ment souly for service dogs and support dogs. They said we can get him at our leisure but sooner the better. Also he has to a week long training every 3 weeks and there is a $50 fee to get him." I rambled out.

" His name is Skipper, a golden retriever"
