A Hero's Journey(BnhaxOC)

Chapter 4: One For All Origins

All his life, Izuku was told that he didn't have what it takes to become a hero. He was always put down and looked upon as worthless. The only person who ever believed in him was Hayami. From the very beginning she was always there, praising and encouraging him!! However, her faith alone was not enough to help him achieve his goal. Izuku was ready to give up his dream, that was until his idol, the number one hero All Might, told him he could become a Hero!!

"I hereby deem you, Izuku Midoriya, worthy of my power. My quirk is yours to inherit." stated All Might with his arms outstretched.

Izuku slowly sat up on his knees and gave All Might a quizful look. Inheritance??? Quirks were passed down genetically, never once has a quirk been given to someone of different blood. That was out of the question, impossible!!

"Wait, inherit??? Inherit what?" asked Izuku.

"Hahahaha, you should see your face right now, it's priceless!!!!" All Might said while trying to contain his laughter. "Don't worry, I'm not going to force this thing on you." he took a few steps closer, "Listen young man, this is completely your choice, do you want to accept my awesome power or not?" spews of blood escaped his mouth.

Izuku couldn't speak, he was beyond stunned. Hayami nodded for her father to explain.

"There are a couple of things you should know about my power kid. Journalists always guess that my power is super strength or some kind of invulnerability. When I am asked about it in interviews, I always make a joke and laugh it off to avoid the question. I do this so that the world believes that the symbol of piece is a natural born hero, but I'm not."

Izuku's mouth hung agape, like a fishing out of water. His eyes were wide, staring in disbelief.

"There is nothing natural about my ability" All Might carried on, raising his arms, head tilted slightly backwards. "I wasn't born with this power, it's a sacred torch that was passed on to me by someone else."

"Someone gave you this quirk? No way?!" Izuku uttered.

"That's what she said.." Hayami joked.

"Yes way, and you are next, I can give you my abilities!!! " All Might declared.

"Wait, this is a lot to process!!! I mean it's true that there is a lot of debates about what your quirk truly is but nobody has ever figured it out!! It's one of the world's greatest mysteries!!! People are constantly talking about it online, well... the idea of passing on a quirk and inheriting it is just unreal, I mean I don't think I'm even worthy enough to obtain such great power... this just doesn't make any sense, everyone's quirk is unique...." Izuku prattled.

Hayami sweat dropped at her friend's inner self conflict. Yup, he definitely overthinking it...

"Stop nerding out!!" blurted All Might, snapping Izuku out of his inner turmoil. Hayami let out a small giggle.

"You just have to adjust to your new reality and accept the truth, I can transfer my quirk to someone else, and that's just one facet of my secret.." All Might held out his hand, a glowing white light began to form.

"The true name of my power is One For All!" he revealed, blond locks flowing from the intensity of the power.

"One...For...All" Izuku repeated.

"Yes, one person improves the power and hands it off to another person, it continues to grow as it passes along, it is this cultivated power that allows me to save those who are in need of a hero, the truth behind my strength." voices All Might, clutching his hand into a fist.
