('Thinking')
"Speaking"
~~~~~~~Izuku POV~~~~~~
I was cracking my shoulders and arms as I walked down the hall leading away from the arena. My muscles were tense from the beating I gave that "Moan"ma guy. I normally don't like inflicting pain, but somehow I felt like that was far overdue.
Shoto:" Midoriya"
I looked up ahead to see Shoto leaning against a wall. It seemed like he was waiting for me.
"Whats up Shoto?" I asked still in a good mood, wondering why Shoto had come all this way to speak to me.
Shoto:" I watched your match just now and noticed something. Your Warlord ability looks alot like All-might's quirk. No one really knows much about his quirk and the details of it aren't known. So how is your quirk so similar to his? There is only one answer, Midoriya you are All-mights secret love child aren't you?"
I looked at Shoto, trying to figure out why he wanted to know this. It wasn't really a secret, or at least until Izumi reveals it. Then again, I'm not sure if anyone even remembers the bus ride to USJ. No one has really asked me about Izumi being my sister, or why I have a different last name.
" Why are you asking?"
Shoto:" So you aren't denying it?"
"I'll tell you want you want to know, if you tell me why you need to know. I get the feeling this isn't just about me."
Shoto: "....... Ok, have you heard of quirk marriages?" I gave him a deadpan stare
"I'm familiar with them..... very familiar with them." He just gave me an confused look not understanding. He shook it off before continuing his explanation
Shoto:"I'm the product of one such marriage, my father is the number 2 hero Endeavor. He was unable to beat All-might and become number 1, so he decided if he couldn't he would create a child who would. He bought off my mothers family and forced her into marrying him."
" He believed her Ice-type quirk would offset the drawbacks of his own, after 3 "failures" He got his masterpiece, me. I love my mother, but one day the abuse father became too much for her. She snapped and gave me this." Shoto placed his hand on his scarred eye. " He wasn't happy she damaged his masterpiece and had her locked away in a mental hospital."
" I swore then that I would surpass him without using his flames, thats why I must beat you. Especially if you really are related to All-might."
I finally understood why I felt like Shoto and I were similar. Neither of us had a great family life, or a good childhood.
"Shoto...... I'll tell you want you want to know. I'm not All-Mights secret love child.... but his legitimate, long lost son. However I cast away the Yagi name, and took the name of my adoptive father Hisashi Midoriya."
I proceeded to explain my life's story to shoto, minus some of the classified stuff, I watched as his eyes widened and shock spread across his face. He must not have expect my story to be as bad as his.
Shoto:"Midoriya..... Then those scars and your eye?"
"Yeah, thats all from my time as a captive. Well most of them anyways. So trust me when I say I understand why you hate your old man."
" It probably isn't my place to say this, since I basically was doing the same until someone special gave me a wake up call but..... You won't make it to the top using only half your power."
Shoto got visibly angry at me, he grabbed me by the collar and got up in my face
Shoto:" I thought you understood me Midoriya! You know my pain so why would you say that?!" I lock eyes with Shoto, never blinking or looking away.
"Its because I know your pain that I said it. Someone slapped me with the truth I didn't want to see, and as your friend I'll do the same. Do you want to be a hero just to beat your dad? Or is it because you actually want to be a hero? If its just to beat your dad just go ahead and quit! You'd be no better than Bakugou if thats the case!"
Shoto stood there shocked, his eyes darting around, he loosened his grip on my collar and became lost in his thoughts. I simply stood there, waiting for his reply. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, he took a deep breath and sighed before letting out a chuckle
Shoto:" Midoriya.... No Izuku, we're friends right?" I smiled and nodded " Then as your friend, I'll tell you. You really need to stop making things harder for yourself. I'm going to use his.... no MY full power! I'll beat you and make my way to the top, not for him but because I want to!"
"Good for you Shoto! Only one problem with that, I'm not holding back either! Come at me and earn your spot!" I said giving my friend a light punch in the shoulder. " Go ahead and head back Shoto, I gotta hit the bathroom." After Shoto left I spoke out to our vistor
"You can come out now, Mr. No.2 hero." I said in a cold voice, as Endeavor came around the corner. Right around the time Shoto accepted his fathers side, I sensed his presence. I decided to see how this played out. Now that Shoto revealed his past, he had given me a reason to investigate more about the number 2 hero.
Endeavor:" Good job kid, making my masterpiece finally end his rebellion against me! Now he will fulfil his destiny and do what he was created for! Defeating All-might!"
"Shut your mouth filth. I did it for his future not yours. If I were you, I'd be more concerned about my own neck."
Endeavor:" What did you say to me brat?!" He said raising his voice and flames while looking at me clearly pissed. I maintained my calm exterior, and activated an application of Realize I wasn't suppose to without permission from HQ.
But Endeavor needed a lesson in power, I converted the oxygen around him into carbon dioxide. Putting his flames out in the process while making him unable to breathe.
"I said shut your mouth filth. I'm sure with you being number 2, you know about Parabellum?" I watched as his eyes widened in shock and fear. All while he struggled to breathe. I activate Warlord at 10%, grabbing him by the collar I slam him against the wall
" It seems like you don't have a problem beating children and apparently women? It seems like we need to look into your daily life. You better hope we don't find anything filth, because if we do I, Arclight, will personally make sure you die in a ''Villain" attack. While I'm at it, it'd be in your best interest for your wife to be home. UNDERSTOOD?"
After threating Endeavor abit I changed the air back to normal allowing him to breathe again and walked away. Not willing to deal with him any longer. I made my way back towards the waiting area.
I stopped for awhile to make a call to Dad, informing him of the situation with Endeavor. To get him to get the investigation started, taking advantage of the call.
Dad and I chatted for abit, I updated him on my current life and my relationship with Momo. He told me that he and the others were watching the festival and were proud of me.
Even though they had no doubt I could and would win. Suddenly dad got quiet
Hisashi:" Son......... I Order you to stand down, and head to the infirmary. You are not to retaliate."
"Whats going on Dad?" I grew concerned, Dad gave me an order. Something I can't defy, so that meant something serious must have happened.
Hisashi:"........ I've been watching the matches as we've been talking. Yaoyorozu's match just ended, go see her. Do NOT attack Bakugou."
My blood ran cold, my heart stopped for a second. His words sinking in, while talking with dad I hadn't realized how much time had passed. Momo had her match and dad ordered me to stand down. That could only mean one thing, exactly what I feared happened.
I clenched my fists so hard I drew blood, gritting my teeth I replied
"Understood, Commander.......... I'll call you back." Hanging up I bolted to the infirmary.
Running up to the infirmary, I saw Izumi, Shoto, Mina, and Kirishima standing outside the door. Seeing me both Shoto and Kirishima blocked my way.
"What are you doing?! How is she?!" I asked frantically
Kirishima:" She will be fine Midobro, but it was bad.... really bad. Recovery Girl is looking after her."
Shoto:" She needs rest Izuku, I know you must be worried but all you can do is wait for now."
Mina:" I know Bakugou hates you, but I never thought he'd go so far just to hurt you."
"What did he do Mina?" I asked coldly
Izumi:" He..... blasted her in the face.... after she was down."
"................I see." I turned and started to walk away. Suddenly I felt someone hug me from behind. I look over my shoulder to see Izumi holding on to me.
Izumi:" What are you going to do?" She asked me in a small voice, as if she was afraid of the answer.
"........... I'm going to make a call...... and then pull the teeth out of this problem once and for all." I pulled her arms off me gently, gave her a soft smile and walked off. Once I was away and found a secluded spot I called Dad.
Hisashi:" I have a feeling I know what you're going to ask but go ahead ask. I rather this be by the book Arclight."
" Commander Midoriya, due to recent events and adding past events to his list of misdeeds, I formally request to be allowed to remove the weed known as Katsuki Bakugou. He has repeatedly shown villain-like behavior with no signs of remorse."
Hisashi:" Arclight, are you sure there is no chance of redemption?"
"Positive, Commander. Personal issues aside, he has repeatedly shown aggressive behavior towards his classmates."
Hisashi:".......... Permission Granted, however.... Do not kill him, since this is a special case. We cannot simply kill him, it would draw too much attention to UA. I grant you clearance to use your true ability. Defang him."
"YES SIR!" I said before ending the call. I made my way back towards the arena to wait for my next match. I was focused only on my current mission
~~~~~~~Timeskip~~~~~~~
I won my third round match by default. My opponent for the third round was Izumi, seeing my state and knowing I would let nothing stop me from getting to Bakugou. She merely stepped out of bounds shocking everyone except our 1-A classmates.
Everyone knew the shit storm that was coming. Bakugou's action of doing excessive damage and attacking Momo was a challenge. One directed at me, many of my classmates were afraid I would kill him in front of everyone.
I stood in the arena once more, this time facing Shoto. I felt bad for what I was about to do, I swore to myself that I'd give Shoto a proper match later.
Shoto:" Izuku.... I know you want to beat Bakugou, but I have to go all out. I have my own goal to achieve, but I swear that I will make him pay in your place."
"Thank you for your concern Shoto, but I need to punish him myself. I'm sorry in advance."
Midnight:" Are you ready?! Get set! BEGIN!"
As soon as Midnight started the match, I activated Warlord at 35% while Shoto immediately shot a wall of ice at me. I dashed straight into the ice wall, smashing my way straight through. Once I was free. Shoto combined his flames and ice creating steam to block my vision.
I smiled a bit, glad he really had gotten over his issue. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have the experience I did. I just listened for movement, when my ears picked up on him moving I shot forward and kicked him out of bounds.
"Sorry Shoto, I'll give you a proper match another day."
Midnight:" Shoto Todoroki is out of bounds, Izuku Midoriya is the Winner!"
~~~~~~~~~~~Timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~
PresentMic:" THIS IS IT FOLKS THE FINAL MATCH! WILL THE UNSTOPPABLE MIDORIYA PULL OFF A PERFECT VICTORY?! OR WILL THE EXPLOSIVE BAKUGOU BLOW HIM AWAY?!"
Bakugou:" Shitty Deku! I've been waiting for this chance to prove that you belong at my feet. Did you like my present? Figured I'd show shitty ponytail the view you all should get used to. Me standing above all you losers!"
"..........You really don't get it do you? I gave you a chance to learn, you refused. They say stupidity can only be cured through death, lucky you I'm not allowed to end you....... but you will wish I had killed you after today."
Bakugou:" What the hell are you talking about shitty DEKU?! Are you still saying your better than me?!"
".......... You will be reborn as the thing you hate most." I said coldly
Midnight:" Are you both ready?! Get set?! BEGIN!"
I stood there, waiting for Bakugou to rush me like I knew he would. Bakugou came straight for me, swinging his right fist at me explosion in hand. I merely watched him, not moving at all. Right before he made contact, I activate both Warlord and Realize.
I caught Bakugou's fist with my own. Bakugou was confused, because there was no explosion like he expected. His fist was just neatly tucked within mine. I started applying pressure and digging my fingers into his hand. I could hear his bones starting to crack.
"Wondering why your oh so great quirk didn't go off?" giving him a unamused look.
I suddenly pulled down, pulling on the arm I still had a hold of. A loud pop came from his shoulder. He screamed out in pain as I had dislocated his shoulder. Letting go of his arm, I kicked him away. Not hard enough to throw him out of bounds, I wasn't done with him.
Bakugou:" WHAT DID YOU DO SHITTY DEKU?!"
"I just gave you a taste of your future." I merely stated, all in a monotone voice as if I couldn't be bothered with him. I knew this would enrage him, because I was in fact looking down on him this time.
Bakugou:" FUCK YOU SHITTY DEKU!!!!!QUIT LOOKING DOWN ON ME!!!!" flying towards me explosion in his one good hand. Before he even got close, I raised my right hand and snapped my fingers.
His explosion detonated as soon as I did, blowing him back. He landed on his back, and jumped back up as soon as he could. Confused at what was happening.
"Still confused Bakugou? Do you know how my quirk works? Let me remind you, I can create anything by using matter around me. Its child's play to make anything if I know its make up. I can do something like turning nitroglycerin into water easily. I can also make it unstable enough to go off whenever I wish."
I rushed forward, punched him in the face knocking him back down. With his one good hand Bakugou punched my face. I let it happen, without his explosion he lacked any real power. As he kept punching, I stood there looked him in the eye before locking his arm in place with my own.
I leaned in and whispered in his ear.
" Get used to being powerless..... you know what else I learned? I learned the chemical make-up of a regular person..... or better known as a Quirkless one. Since you hate the quirkless so much, maybe you can take a swan dive."
Bakugou:" What does that mean shitty DEKU?!"
"Exactly what it sounds like Bakugou..... or I guess I should say DEKU? Enjoy your new life without a quirk." I raise my head and slam it down against his.
Headbutting him with a enough force to knock him out. Before Midnight called the match I used Realize and changed Bakugou's chemical make-up into a quirkless one. Making him into what he hated most. A quirkless deku.
Midnight:" Katsuki Bakugou is unable to continue! IZUKU MIDORIYA WINS!
A/N: Sorry I didn't post like normal, had a rough night at work that made me come home way later than usual. So I just went to bed, so sorry about that. As always thanks for reading! See you in the next one!
