Chapter 1: Symbol of Peace

Hey guys! Sonic here, and welcome to a whole new story known as 'My Ghost Academia' I've been waiting to do this one and I hope you're exicted to see what I've got in store for you all.

With that out of the way, let's get started!

XXXXXXXX

"All men are not created equal. I learned that a long time ago."

Currently, on a playground, a toddler with green and black unkempt hair was trembling with tears in his eyes as he stood in front of another boy who was crying a curled up in a ball. "You're being mean Kacchan," the boy said still trembling as he got into a fighting pose. "If you don't stop hurting him...I'LL STOP YOU MYSELF!"

In front of him were 3 boys, one had ash blond hair, another was chubby and the last one had long brown hair. The boys simply smirked as they prepared to gang up on the green head.

"You really wanna try and be a hero?" The ash-blond that the mop-haired kid called Kacchan said with a smirk as he punched his fist into his palm generating an explosion. Meanwhile, the two kids behind him did extraordinary things as well, the chubby one spawned wings and flew up with the long-haired one extended his fingers to completely abnormal lengths,

"As if you could ever be one without a quirk Deku."

The boy called Deku flinched as all 3 boys charged at him. Expecting to be beat up Deku closed his eyes tightly expecting the worse. But right as the boys charging a blur of black and white. Deku opened his eyes and saw the 3 boys had been knocked to the ground. Looking in front of him Deku smiled as he saw a boy with black spiky hair and blue eyes, hands clenched into fists as he stood in front of Deku defensively. "N-Nate!"

Kacchan had sat up from the ground and rubbed his head and growled viciously at the boy in front of Deku. Of course, he would defend that stupid quirkless loser. "Outta our way, Fenton." Kacchan demanded as the other boys got up and glared at Deku's savior.

"Stop it, Katsuki!" Nate said as he narrowed his eyes. "You're being a bully! If you want him, you go through me!"

"Why do you even hang out with him? He's a quirkless wanna be with an unachievable dream. He's pathetic."

Nate stood his ground and clenched his fist defending his friend. "Izuku's not pathetic!" He shouted in his friend's defense. "And with the way you're acting, he can be a better hero then you'll ever be!"

This pissed Kachan off. Kacchan growled and gritted his teeth as smoke came off his hands. "YOU'LL REGRET YOU EVER SAID THAT!"

"BRING IT ON!"

Later both Nate and Izuku were seen beat up laying down on the ground, looking up into the sky. The boy they were trying to defend earlier still crying, but looking down at them.

10 YEARS LATER...

Those same two boys were now seen running through the street wearing identical school uniforms. "Oh, man! Think we missed it?!" Nate asked as he ran behind Izuku.

"No, I think I can see it going on!" Izuku replied as they both continued running.

Suddenly they both came to a stopped as they looked up with awe. In front of them was a group of people that were also watching the event with some watching with similar reactions to the two 14-year-old boys and others were frustrated to the delay it was causing.

Standing on top of some tracks for a train was a giant person with a horse-like head that didn't look too friendly.

"Holy..." Nate began.

"Crap." Izuku finished.

'That's one big super villain!" They both said in unison.

The giant villain let out a roar as he knocked a power pole down with caused it to come falling to the ground. Right before it could land a tall buff man with short white hair wearing a blue vest that left his chest exposed along with a headband, wrist weights and a belt with a color scheme similar to police tape came running in under it and managed to catch it.

The crowd watching proceeded to cheer for the pro hero as he continued to lift up the pole. "Way to go, Death Arms!" A bystander cheered.

"The Punching Hero, Man, I wish I had a quirk that gave me super strength." Another person said.

Just then a divider made of water appeared in front of the crowd keeping them from going any further towards the battle scene. "Everyone, stay back! This area is far too dangerous!" The creator of the barrier said. He was another pro-hero dressed like a fireman with nozzles for hands and a cannon on his back.

"No way, Backdraft the rescue specialist is here!"

"He'll keep us safe for sure!"

"Can't believe this guy is crazy enough to go monster in the middle of the city, and one rush hour. What happened?" A man in a suit asked.

"Just a petty thief. Stole someone's bag and then got himself in a jam." The person next to him answered.

Meanwhile, Nate and Izuku were trying to make their way to the front of the crowd by getting through people. "Uh, excuse us, pardon me and my friend, sorry hehe." Nate said sheepishsly as he and Izuku pushed through the crowd.

"A quirk like that and he's just a bag snatcher, what a waste."

"I got held up, another villain so the trains out, I don't know when I can make it for work." A man who was currently on the phone said.

Just then a figure zoomed above everyone grabbing everyone's attention, including...

"AAAAAH IT'S KAMUI WOODS! WE'RE YOUR BIGGEST FANS!" A group of fans girls squealed making everyone around them uncomfortable.

Although they did grab the attention of Nate. 'Typical.' He thought as he watched said hero the girls were cheering for go to action.

Kamui Woods was a man that appeared to be made of wood with a costume that had a wooden belt, boots, knee pads and mask along with a rose veil on the left side of his belt.

Kamui Woods ran towards the villain as the giant attempted to swat the hero away only for Kamui to dodge causing the villain to tear up the ground. "Get away from me or I'll break you like the toothpick you are!" The villain roared.

Nate and Izuku finally managed to make it to the front of the crowd and got a full view of the action taking place in front of them. "This is gonna be good!" Izuku said with excitement.

"Kick his giant ass!" Nate cheered with the same enthusiasm as his mop-haired friend.

Kamui dodged another attack from the giant has his armed transformed into a wooden vined and wrapped around another power pole. Kamui then proceeded to land on the pole and glare at the villain through his mask as he retracted his arm as it turned to normal.

"Yeah, way to show him Kamui, keep it up!" Nate cheered as he made some punching motions.

"He may be new but he's really making a name for himself quickly!" Izuku added.

"One look at those dopey grins and I know what you two are, you two are fanboys." An old man with 2 spikes coming out of his head called out, pointing towards the two middle schoolers.

"Uh, well..." Izuku stuttered blushing in embarrassment.

"I wouldn't say fanboy, more like a-an enthusiastic supporter," Nate said, scratching his head.

"Uh-huh, keeping tell yourself that fanboy." The old man said causing them to lower their heads in complete embarrassment.

Just then, the giant villain tried to crush Kamui but the wooden hero easily dodged and ran up the villain's arm and proceed to wrap his transformed arm around the giant's wrist. The villain grunted as he swung his arm around and tried to fling Kamui off him.

Kamui unwrapped his vine-arm from the villain and land on top of a train tunnel. "Robbery, assault and illegal quirk usage during rush hour, you a truly are the incarnation of evil," Kamui said dramatically.

This however earned a sweat drop from Nate. 'It's not the worst thing someone could do, it's not liked he killed anyone...I think.' The dark-haired teen thought as Izuku kept watching in awe.

Suddenly Kaumi Woods arm procced to unwrap into multiple vines. This earned an excited gasp from the two fanboys. "Is he about to use it?!" Nate said in anticipation.

"Yeah! His special move!" Izuku responded.

"Come on Woody, show us some fancy moves!" The old man said hoping for a good show.

"The Pre-emptive..." Izuku and Nate said in unison.

"Binding..." Kamui said as he reared his arm back.

"Lacquered Chain Prison!" The fanboys and hero said in unison as Kamui launched a bunch of wooden vines from his arms at the giant villain in an attempt to capture him. But...

"CANYON CANNON!"

Suddenly a woman that was just as big, if not bigger, then the villain came in and kicked the villain right across the face, knocking him down. This caught everyone off guard, Nate and Izuku, the bystanders, Death Arms and Backdraft and especially Kamui Woods.

The kick managed to knock the villain completely unconscious as the giant lady landed and looked down at the villain she took down. She wore a skin-tight suit that left little the imagination. The suit itself was mainly cream colored with purple on the arms, legs, and chest with orange highlights. She also wore a purple mask with horns on them. She had purple eyes and long blond hair.

"Money shot, money shot, money shot..." Guys said as they took pictures of the sexy heroine. Meanwhile, Izuku was looking at them in shock as he backed away a bit with Nate's face exploded bright red.

"No sweat for the latest and sexiest new hero. Hi everyone I'm Mt. Lady. Pleased to make your ass-quaintance." The heroine introduced herself as she shook her butt.

"Money shot, money shot, money shot..." The fanboys continued to say as they took more pictures, with Nate's whole body turning red as he continued to resist looking.

Meanwhile, Izuku was paying them no mind as he dug through his bag with the old man next to him blushing.

"Wait...she's getting all the credit?" Kamui said as he remained still while watching everyone cheer for Mt. Lady.

Nate managed to get rid of his blush and looked towards Kamui Woods with sympathy. 'I guess you win some you lose some.'

After that dispute Mt, Lady shrunk down to normal size. The police restrained the now shrunken villain and put him into heavy restrains even muzzling his mouth, presumably to keep him from going giant again.

Meanwhile, Kamui Woods was sulking while still on top of the train tunnel as Mt. Lady basked in the glory with a face of pure vanity.

"Giganification huh?" Izuku mumbled as he wrote notes in a notebook that had the number 13 on it. This grabbed Nate's attention as he looked over Izuku's shoulder at the notebook. "She certainly has it going for her in terms of looks and attitude that should certainly make her a quick crowd favorite and her quirk is both strong and showy."

"Yeah, but she also has limited space since she can't seem to adjust her height so she's very limited on where she can fully utilize her power without risking collateral damage," Nate added as Izuku added his friend's notes into his notebook.

"What do you two fanboys got there?" The old man from before asked. "You two taking notes in that journal? You boys wanna be heroes to right? Well, I believe in ya!" The old man said giving the two fanboys a thumbs up.

Izuku and Nate practically beamed and gave big smiles to the old man. "Thank you, sir!" Izuku said.

"We won't let you down!" Nate added, with a mock salute.

Aldera Junior High

Currently in a class in said middle high, a classroom full of students wearing matching uniforms of their respective genders were listening to their teacher as he held up some papers, currently Izuku and Nate were also in this classroom with the former continuing to write in his journal and the latter was drawing pictures of ghosts in different shapes or sizes on his desk.

"So..." The teacher began. "As third-year students, you need to start thinking about your future if you wanna get anywhere in this world. I could have you all take a career aptitude test, but why bother?"

Suddenly the teacher's tone took a complete 180 as he threw his stack of paper. "You all obviously wanna be pro-heroes," The teacher said as most of the students cheered on showed off their quirks. Although Izuku simply raised his hand trying not to draw attention to himself, Nate merely rolled his eyes at the others. "Yes, yes, all of you have amazing quirks. But you should all know that quirk usage is not allowed in school, control yourselves!"

"Hey teach!" A cocky voice called out. Everyone turned their attention to a boy who was radiating confidence and leaning back in his chair with his feet crossed on his desk who had familiar ash blond hair. "Don't put me in the same group as these extras. I'm the real deal, but these guys will be lucky to be sidekicks so some busted D-Lister."

This outraged the students as they all yelled in protest to what he just said. "You think you're better than us, Bakugo!?"

"Please, I can kick your asses in less than second." Bakugo said cockily, not seeing the other students as a threat at all.

Nate only grumbled as he got back to darwing on his desk. hoping to zone out Bakugo's arrogant proclaims. He tried not to think about how anyone would wanna be like that jackass.

"Well, you certainly have outstanding test scores. Maybe you will get into UA High." The teacher said causing all the other students to gasp and Izuku to cower a little.

"No way! That's the national school." A female student said.

"They only have a 1/300 acceptance rate." A male student added.

"It's near impossible to get into that school."

Meanwhile, Nate rubbed his head as he and Izuku glanced at each other. 'Of course, he'd apply for that.' Nate said in his head seemingly trying to communicate with Izuku telepathically.

Bakugo then proceeded to jump up and stand on top of his desk. "That's why it's the only place worthy for me of me." He boasted with an overwhelming amount of self-pride. "I aced all the mock test. I'm the only one at this crappy school who could possibly get in. I'll end up more popular then All Might himself, and be the world's next number 1 hero! Everyone on the planet will know who I am! And it all begins at UA High!"

"Oh yeah, Midoriya, Fenton, aren't you two applying to UA as well?" The teacher asked looking at his pad.

'WHY?!' Izuku mentally screamed.

Nate, of course, faceplamed his face while dropping his pencil. 'Damn it, teach! Why!?'

The class stared at the two boys silently before bursting out into laughter.

"You can't possibly be serious? Fenton, I get. But Midoriya!?" A student mocked the two.

"He doesn't even have a chance getting into the hero course without a quirk!"

"Maybe Fenton could get in but I doubt it'd be in the hero course...with his Quirk."

Izuku quickly got up and tried to reason with everyone. "Actually, that's no longer a rule, so I could probably be the first!"

"Yeah, and besides, my there's more to my power than you think," Nate added standing in unison with Izuku trying to support himself and his mop-haired friend. "

Suddenly Bakugo slammed his fist down on Izuku's desk generating an explosion that knocked the green hair teen onto his butt on the floor.

Nate was quick to friend to try and defend him and see if he was ok. "Izuku, are you alright?" He asked with concern as they both looked up at Bakugo who was grinning menacingly at them with his hand smoking. "What the hell, Bakugo!?"

"Listen up, Deku!" Bakugo said emphasizing the nickname he had given his childhood 'friend.' "You're worse than the rest of these damn rejects you, quirkless wannabe! And Fenton, you're nothing more than a Casper-wannabe that can only go through walls! You'll be nothing more than a stupid sidekick making the real heroes look better. Do you really think the school would take either of you two when they could have me? And don't give me that 'unless you try' bullshit!"

"Wait, that's not it Kacchan, honestly!" Izuku pleaded as he backed up against the wall trying to further the distance between him and the bully. "We're not trying to compete against you."

"Yeah, Bakugo." Nate added as he stood next to Izuku. "You don't have to be such a jerk about it. We wanted to be heroes all our lives so we're gonna at least try and shoot for the top." Nate stated with Izuku nodded in agreement.

"Please! Don't make me laugh! You'd two never be able to hang with the best! You two would die in the exams!" Bakugo yelled at them as his hands sizzled and emitted smoke. "Useless Deku and Invisible Fenton! This school already sucks! You wanna make it worse by bombing the exams?!"

As the rest of the students laugh Izuku simply looked down in dejection, as Nate clenched his fist in anger.

Shopping District

Currently, in the same city in an area that had a lot of stores around, a woman's scream could be heard as she covered herself inside some kind of force field outside a shop as a worker from the said store come out shaking his fist in the air. "Hey! Come back here!"

This was directed at someone whose body was made entirely out of green sludge was running away with money in his body with some bills falling out and flying away into the wind. "Someone stop that freak!"

"Don't get your hopes up, buddy!" The sludge person mocked as he ran away. "All this sweet cash is mine!"

Meanwhile, the people around the area were simply watching as the villain ran through the area with the stolen cash. "Hey, where are the heroes at?" One bystander said looking around.

"Yeah, someone should have come in and stopped him already right?"

"They're probably still from that incident at the train station this morning."

As they were all watching and commenting, a person came out of the store holding a grocery bag. He was a very skinny bony that almost looked like a skeleton with blond hair with cloths that were very big for his averagely tall and skinny man.

"Remember when things weren't crazy? You know, when random villains with weird quirks didn't pop up all the time."

"I know right, there's just no stopping them."

Suddenly the skinny man started to grow and increased in muscle mass 1000 fold as his two bands stoop upright with his clothes now properly fitting him. "Yes, there is." He said in a heroic sounding voice.

Everyone turned around to face him and immediately gasp at who they were no looking at. "You know why?" The man said as he stepped out of the shadows of the store to reveal who he was.

Sludge villain had looked behind him only to gasp at his eyes widened in horror at who he was looking at.

With his face sporting a smile that the country, no, the world knew all too well. The skinny man that had suddenly turned buff was revealed to be the number one hero himself....

All Might

"I am here!"

Back at the school

School had just been let out as most of the students left the classroom already making plans with some of their friends. Meanwhile, Izuku was rummaging through his backpack while Nate was on his phone looking through the news.

"Woah, check it out Zu!" Nate said showing his phone to his best friend. "That fight from this morning is everywhere. Man, news sure travels fast these days."

"Yeah." Izuku nodded in agreement. "We should write some notes before we forget anything." Izuku then went to pick up his notebook but right as he did another hand came in and took it from him. Izuku and Nate looked up to see Bakugo looking not too happy at the two while waving Izuku's notebook around.

"I don't know what you two are thinking Deku, but we're not done here," Bakugo said as his two cronies came up behind him.

"Hey, give that back!" Nate said, standing up from his seat.

"What's that? Their diary?" One of the boys asked.

Bakugo showed the book to his two lackeys and saw that the notebook was labeled Hero Analysis for the Future No. 13. "Seriously, future hero notes? That's so lame!" A boy with familiar long brown hair mocked as he held his chest laughing.

"They're dreaming."

"Yeah, it's hilarious. Can you just please give it back." Izuku said just wanting to get the situation over with.

However, Bakugo ignored the green haired boy's pleas as he brought his hands together on the notebook creating an explosion making the notebook extra crispy.

"AAAAAAH!" Izuku screamed as he watched his and Nate's notes get burnt by the explosion quirk user.

"ALL OF OUR NOTES! RUINED!" Nate cried out dramatically.

Bakugo then proceeded to throw the notebook behind him attempting to throw it out the window much to Izuku's horror. But right before it fell out Nate jumped out for it and managed to catch it and skid on the floor with his chest a bit. "I GOT IT, WE CAN STILL SAVE IT!"

"Tch." Bakugo gritted his teeth at his failed attempt to the trash the notebook but quickly brushed it off and faced the one he called Deku. "Most successful heroes show potential early in their life. People simply look at them and automatically know they're destined for greatness." Bakugo said as Nate got back up and held the notebook for dear life so it doesn't get taken again. "Once I get outta this garbage school and into UA that's gonna be how people start talking about me. They'll quickly realize how great I am, the next number 1 hero. And don't think that's just ego, I'm really that good."

"Yeah no," Nate muttered under his breath. Lucky for him no one heard it.

"So petty." One of Bakugo's goons also muttered but like Nate went unheard.

Bakugo then put his hand on Izuku's shoulder giving him a tight grip as smoke admitted from it which caused the freckled boy to tremble even more. "Here's some advice, nerd. Don't apply to UA, or else. That goes for you to Ghost-Freak. Just stick to some school that's full of nothing but future sidekicks, and if you get on my good side, maybe I'll let you join my agency, a future pro like me needs people under him to make him look better." He taunted as he took his handd off Izuku and walked towards the door.

"Look here, you-" Nate was about to say, only to feel Izuku grab his shoulder, giving him a headshake. Reluctantly, Nate frowned and let out a sigh.

"That's just sad. I thought you two had some fight in you, especially Fenton. After all, I heard you two actually train together." The boy with the short light black hair said.

"Mirdoriya finally gets that he'll never be a hero. And Fenton's nothing more than sidekick material. At least they finally get it now then later in life." The boy with long brown hair said.

As Bakugo and his group were walking out of the classroom, Bakugo stopped and looked over his shoulder at Izuku. "Y'know Deku, if you really wanna be a hero, there could still be a way..."

"Pray you'll be born with a quirk in your next life...and take a leap of faith of the roof."

This statement actually caused Izuku to clench his first as he looked back at Bakugo actually letting out a growl and turning towards his childhood friend turned to bully gritting his teeth but still with a face that was terrified.

Bakugo simply raised up his hand and generated small explosions from his hands and grinned menacingly at Izuku. "Anything you wanna sa-"

"?!"

Just then, something happened that caught everyone completely off guard that left everyone frozen in shock. Nate had ran up to Bakugo and slugged him right in the face with his fist sporting a green glow.

Nate first had a faced that showed he was completely pissed at Bakugo...until he realized what he did. Nate's face turned to one of pure shock as Bakugo grunted and rubbed his now bruised cheek. Bakugo looked back at Nate as his hands admitted so much smoke it was amazing that the smoke alarms didn't go off along with a face that showed he was completely lived!

Only one thing came into Izuku and Nate's mind.

"RUUUUUUUUUN!"

XXXXXXXX

Izuku and Nate had somehow managed to lose Bakugo and his poesy as they escaped outside the school and ran to the side of the building and leaned against the wall and started panting heavily. "Phew...okay...I think we lost them." Nate said as he sat down to catch his breath.

"Yeah...I think....my heart...is gonna burst outta my chest." Izuku panted as he put his hands on his knees.

After a moment or two, the two boys managed to catch their breath with Nate still sitting down, looking up at the sky and Izuku leaning against the wall. "Why did you do that?" Izuku asked quietly.

"To be honest, I don't know," Nate answered not actually knowing completely why he just punch Bakugo, BAKUGO of all people. "To be fair, he had it coming for a long time now...the way he was talking about us and especially you. He just told you to kill yourself, you can't just go around telling people that. And when he did say that I just lost control of myself. Besides, what does he or any of those guys know about my power...?"

Izuku listened quietly as he looked toward his dark-haired friend. "Nate..."

"Unlike them, I only had this power for 2 years and I'm still trying to get the hang of it, which is part of the reason I haven't shown anyone else, besides you, my other abilities. I guess this is what when you're a late bloomer, you're far behind everyone else."

"Come on, Nate! Don't say that!" Izuku pleaded trying to change his friend's mood. "Yes, it true that you had your power for a short time, but yours has so many uses to it: You can 'Go-Ghost', turn invisible to get a surprise attack on inspecting villains, sense danger nearby, walk through any solid wall or object, shoot blastes of ecto rays and youcan fly and the fact that you're the only one with this 'Ghost' Qurik is amazing due to how rare it is," Izuku said listing all the different ways Nate's quirk could be used other than just walking through walls. The Izuku's mood shifted to how Nate's was. "Besides...at least you have a quirk."

Nate then looked at his friend who had slumped down next to him. Nate put his hand on Izuku's shoulder trying to comfort the green haired teen. "I'm sorry, I can't even begin to imagine how it felt for you."

"...It was awful." Izuku said as his hair shadowed over his eyes as some tears leaked out.

Nate patted Izuku's shoulder a few times encouraging him to let it all out. The dark-haired then looked at his hands and saw he was still carrying the now burnt hero notebook he saved from getting tossed out by Bakugo. "Here," Nate said handing it to Izuku. "It's a little burnt but...still good, right?"

"Yeah, thanks," Izuku said as he took the notebook into his hands.

The two eventually got up from there spot and began walking home as Izuku remembered everything that lead up to his discovery of his own quirklessness.

XXXXXXXXX

Izuku remembered seeing that video. The video that inspired him in the first place. It was All Might's debut into the hero world. Seeing that muscular hero going right into danger and saving all those people with a giant smile on his face. It all inspired a young Izuku into becoming a great hero that would comfort people with his smile like him.

But then came that day.

The day he found out he wouldn't develop a quirk.

His mother Inko Midoriya had taken him to a doctor that specialized in quirks. After revealing that Izuku had an extra point in his pinky toe while everyone who had a quirk only had one due to the human body developing into a more streamlined version of itself.

Izuku was part 20% of the world...quirkless.

After that, it all fell apart, later that night the 4-year-old was watching the same video of All Might with tears in his eyes with his mother behind him. Izuku had asked his mother if he could still do it, if he could still be someone like All Might, if he could still be a hero.

...but she didn't.

All Inko did was hug her son and cried wishing things were different.

His social life had almost completely turned for the worst as well. As soon as all the kids found out he was quirkless they all turned on him calling him lame and stupid with a young Bakugo that he called and still call Kacchan being the worst giving him the name Deku which means 'worthless' and 'good for nothing' and often bullying him, verbally and physically with all the adults simply looking at him in pity but not really doing anything. Only Nate had stuck with him throughout everything and had still believed in both of them becoming heroes one day. In fact, Izuku and Nate would often meet together and train-making their bodies stronger so Izuku wasn't completely weak...but still, it couldn't even compare to sweating nitro-glycerin-like substance that can explode or covering your body in rocks.

XXXXXXXXXX

Right as the two were about to go through a tunnel Izuku took a deep audible exhale which grabbed Nate's attention causing the dark-haired teen to look back. "Nate, let's not think this way," Izuku said causing Nate's jaw to come down a little bit with his eyebrows raised. "We shouldn't worry about what anyone else thinks. We need to keep pushing forward, especially if we're both going to be great heroes someday. It's like you said, we have to at least try."

Nate quickly caught on to Izuku's words and smiled brightly. "Yeah, you're right Izuku!" Nate said as the two high fived each other. "We can't waste our time sulking worrying about what some jerk thinks. We gotta work hard to prove all those naysayers wrong. Heck, if we work together, I bet there will be no one that could beat us, even All Might!"

"Yeah, all we have to do is believe in ourselves. We just gotta keep smiling like him!" Izuku said with confidence as he raised his fist air and started doing an impression of All Might's laugh as he walked through the tunnel with Nate following suit.

"Watch out world! The two next biggest heroes are coming through!" Nate announced trying to mimic All Might's smile.

But as the two were walking, a familiar sludge was coming up through the sewer grate. As they were approaching the end of the tunnel, Nate suddenly breathed out a cold blue mist from his mouth as his eyes widened, grabbing the attention of Izuku. "What is it?" the green-haired boy asked.

"I think we've got company...and they are not friendly." Nate said, with narrowed eyes.

Hearing a noise from behind them, both boys turned around, only for them to gasp and look on in horror as a familiar sludge person formed behind them and completely coming up from the sewer grate.

"A villain?!" Both boys said in unison as they stood there and watched the sludge villain look down at them.

"Either of you will make the perfect skin suit for me." The villain said as he watched the two boys shake in fear. Izuku and Nate started running away as fast they could. Just then the Sludge Villain lunged himself at them and managed to grab Izuku while knocking down Nate as the notebook fell from Izuku hands onto the ground.

Nate quickly got up and watched in horror as he saw the sludge villain choking his friend with his slime as Izuku struggled to free himself. "IZUKU!" Nate's face quickly turned angry as he got into a fighting stance. "Don't worry, buddy! I'll get you out! Going Gho-!"

The sludge villain growled in response as he raised his hand up and smacked Nate with enough force to send him crashing towards the wall. "Stay outta this, brat! I'll deal with you after I'm done you're your friend. Can't have any witnesses after all." Nate then fell to the ground as his vision became blurry as he watched the sludge villain continue to suffocate Izuku. He tried to stay awake but ultimately fell unconscious.

Meanwhile, Izuku's screaming by all the slime that was being forced into his mouth as he continued to struggle and watch his only friend get knocked unconscious. "Don't worry kid, I'm just taking over your body." The sludge villain said maliciously. "Don't fight back. Trust me, it'll be easier for both of us if you just let it happen. The pain will be quick and fade away just as fast, you won't feel like anything happened at all."

As he was saying this Izuku started to slowly claw at the sludge trying to get it off to him but to no avail. "Claw at me all you want but it won't work, my body is completely made out of fluid." The villain started as tears built up in the green-haired boy's eyes. "Thanks for the help kid, you're my hero." He mocked as Izuku felt consciousness fading. "I didn't know he'd be in the city. So I gotta get outta here before he catches up to me again. Of course, I gotta take care of your little friend there but he shouldn't be an issue."

'I...I'm dying.' Izuku said in his mind as he couldn't even move his body anymore. 'Please, this can't be the end. Nate, anybody please...help...me.'

Suddenly the grate to the sewer shot up grabbing the sludge villain's attention as he looked behind him only to gasp in horror to what he was seeing.

"Do not worry now citizen, you're now safe."

The figured stood up revealing himself to be All Might in his smiling glory as he reassured Izuku as the villain started at him with horror in his eyes.

(Cue: All Might's theme)

"Because I am here."

The villain growled viciously as he tried to whip the number one hero with his arm but All Might easily dodge and started charged at the villain. The sludge villain whipped his other arm at All Might in another attempted to attack the hero but once again to no avail as All Might reared his fist back.

"Texas...SMASH!"

Punching the villain's arm with one of his signature attacks, the sludge was quickly blown away as so much wind pressure was created that the villain's whole body was starting to break apart. "Can't...hold...together!"

And just like that the villain's body was completely blown away with pieces of sludge going everywhere as Izuku's body was freed and allowed to breathe again but still feeling the effects of the attack as he got one last blurry look at All Might before going unconscious like Nate.

'Is that...All...Might?'

(End Music)

XXXXXXXXX

"Hey! Wake up you two! Come on, up and at'em!"

All Might was now currently lightly slapping Izuku and Nate's faces in an attempt to wake the two middle schoolers up. After about a minute or so, the two boys began to stir and regain consciousness.

All Might immediately stopped his light smacking once he saw the two woke up. "Thank goodness! Thought we lost you two." The might hero said as the boys soon realized who was in front of them.

Both boys gasp and screamed as they crawled back quickly. "HOLY CRAP, NO WAY!" Nate yelled as Izuku just screamed. "ALL MIGHT!?"

The number one hero stoop upright as he looked down at the two boys with his usual smile that brought hope to so many people. "Seems you two are moving around all right, after that whole ordeal. Sorry about getting you boys caught up in that back there." He apologized as both boys looked at him with awe with Izuku looking like he was going to break in happiness at seeing the hero he had admired his whole life right in front of him. "I usually try not to get innocent bystanders caught up in my justicing. But I didn't think the sewers could be full of twist and turns, so it was pretty easy to get lost." He finished with a hearty laugh while Izuku had swirls in his eyes and a wobbly smile while Nate looked his jaw dropped and stars in his eyes.

"Anyway, I appreciate the assistance dear boys. Behold! I have captured the slimy fiend!" All Might then relieved some 2-liter soda bottles that had the sludge villain, who was now unconscious, inside them.

Nate managed to somewhat snap out of his daze mostly as Izuku still stared at the Hero in complete fanboyness. "U-um, are you sure that'll hold him?" Nate asked in worry to the villain breaking out.

"Worry not citizen!" All Might reassured. "I'll make sure he's taken care of before he even wakes up."

'The most amazing hero in the entire world All Might! The real thing. In the flesh.' Izuku admired in his mind as he continued to stare at the muscular hero. 'HE'S SO MUCH COOLER IN PERSON!'

"Holy crap, Nate we gotta get an autograph do you have a pen or something?" Izuku quickly said as he checked to see if he had one himself.

"Oh! Yeah, I think I got one in my pocket!" Nate said as he checked his pocket.

Izuku then picked up his hero notebook to find a blank page for All Might to sign only to find...

"HE ALREADY SIGNED IT!" Izuku squealed as he and Nate looked at the page to see All Might's signature spread over two pages with a little drawing of his face, mainly his eyes and eyebrows, in the corner.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR, WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU!" Nate said as he and Izuku bowed repeatedly in thanks.

"YES! WE'LL BE SURE TO TREASURE IT! IT'LL BE AN HEIRLOOM SHARED BY BOTH OUR FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS!" Izuku added.

"Alright!" All Might simply gave a thumbs up not really knowing how to respond to the two boys, especially the one with the green unkempt hair.

"Welp, I've got to head over to the station to hand turn this guy in. Stay safe, citizens. See ya on the flip side!" All Might said as he saluted the two boys.

Izuku and Nate felt a little upset at hearing this. The just get saved and got the autograph of the greatest hero of all time and, just like that, he had to leave. Nate seemed to accept this quickly as he bowed once more with better posture. "We will sir, thank you again for saving us."

Izuku, however, wasn't as accepting to the number 1 hero leaving, at least not without asking him just one very important question. "You already have to go?" Izuku asked as he stepped closer as Nate just watched him.

"Yep, Pro heroes are constantly on the move, looking for crime to stop. I'm afraid it's hard for us to have spare time, that's just part of the job." All Might explained as he started stretching a bit getting ready to leave.

"He's right Izuku, we shouldn't have expected him to stick around." Nate said while still feeling sad that the hero had to leave right after he just got here.

"But...I have to ask." Izuku mumbled, as Nate looked at his friend then back at the Hero, before his face lit up

"Wait... I have an idea."

All Might squatted as he prepared himself to jump, "Well then... I'M COUNTING ON YOU AND YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! "

With that All Might jumped high into the air as he was flying through the sky. Though it wasn't long before he realized that there was something heavy on his leg. He saw that Nate and Izuku were holding on for dear life as they couldn't help but scream.

"I IMMEDIATELY REGRET HAVING THIS IDEA!" Nate yelled through the wind.

" I THINK I'M GONNA BE SICK AGAIN! " Izuku exclaimed.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" All Might said as he tried to get them off, "Let me go! Your fanaticism is too much!"

"WELL WE WOULD LET GO! BUT WE'RE KIND OF HIGH IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW AND WE WOULD QUITE LITERALLY FALL TO OUR DEATHS!" Nate pointed out, though he mentally slapped himself in his mind, remembering he had Ghost powers.

"Oh, good point." All Might said as he stopped what he was doing.

"THERE'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING I WANTED TO ASK YOU! " Izuku yelled, "IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT! "

"Okay! Okay! I get it!" All Might said, "Just close your eyes and mouth in the meantime!"

They did as they were told as they tightened their grip on All Might, leaving an awkward silence between the three of them. They didn't realize that All Might had started to cough a little which resulted in some blood coming out of his mouth. All Might was quick to wipe it off with his arm and made sure Izuku or Nate didn't see it.

'Shit...'

All Might had managed to find a tall building and landed on the roof of it with no one seeing them luckily. Nate and Izuku had let go of All Might's legs and stood up still freaking out from the ride and trying to get their thoughts together.

"That's twice in one day I've had a near death experience." Izuku whimpered out.

Nate had said taking deep breaths, "My life flashed before my eyes for a sec. Though I might need to re-think some choices..."

"Good grief." All Might said, "If you talk to the people downstairs, I'm sure they'll let you down. I am seriously out of time so I really must be going."


"Hold on!" Nate yelled, reaching a hand out. "My friend here would like to--"


"No, I will not wait!" All Might said cutting her off.


"Come on. Just one question,"

"Sorry, I have no time to talk!" He said cutting him off.

"Wait!" Izuku called out, "Please! I just have to know...!"

'You should probably just give up kid.'

'I'm sorry Izuku! I wish things were different!'

'Useless Deku!'

"Sometimes I do feel like I'm useless. That I'll never live up to anything. But no matter what, I won't ever give up on my dream. But please, I have to know..."

"Can I become a hero, even without a quirk?!"

All Might stopped.

"I'm just a regular kid without superpowers. Can I become someone like you?!" Izuku pleaded. Shutting his eyes tight praying that the hero that has inspired him would say the words he'd been wanting to hear his whole life. Words not even his mom as said, that's he's only ever heard from Nate. But hearing it from All Might would truly be a dream come, true. Just hearing the words 'You can become a hero' from the number one hero himself.

This time All Might had stopped completely dead in his tracks and once more there was silence. He turned to Izuku who had his head down the whole time as his hands shook slightly.


Nate had commented on Izuku as he patted him on the head, "You did your best."


"Quirkless?" All Might mumbled.

If this boy truly was how he said he was, then that would mean he was just like...

"Nng!" All Might suddenly grunted in pain. All of a sudden steam started to come off the muscular hero's body as he crouched down a bit in pain. "N-no! Not...now! Not here! D-damn it!"

The only one who seemed to notice that his body started to smoke up was Nate.


Nate tried to get his friend's attention as he said, "Uhhh Zu...?"

Izuku ignored him as he said, "People say that I'm just a weakling with no hope of making it. That not having powers means I'm just some useless nobody in the crowd. Really, the only friend I have is Nate here. He's the only one that stuck with me throughout everyone,"

Nate tried to get his attention again as he said, "Buddy... Something's off."

The greenette still ignored him as he continued.

"But, all of that just makes me want to try harder. To prove everyone wrong..." Izuku said. "...Ever since I was a kid, the idea of saving people just sounds like the coolest thing someone can do. I want to be able to smile in the face of danger to make people feel safe. Just like you!"

"IZUKU!" Nate yelled finally getting his attention attention.


"W-What!?" Izuku exclaimed, startled. "What is it?"


Nate replied as he pointed to where All Might was, "That."


The two of them turned what looked to be a puff of smoke at first, but when the smoke cleared they saw what looked to be an over skinny man with long limbs and neck; the clothes he wore which was a simple white t-shirt and a pair of green cargo pants were baggy on him, and he had on a frown instead of a smile, and his eyes were revealed to be blue and his hair looked more disheveled than it was before.


"..."

This had shocked the duo as they looked to the man with disbelief.


"A-A-A....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Izuku screamed in pure shock.

"W-w-who are you?! Where's All Might! There's no way you're him! You're a faker!" Nate accused pointing at the skinny man who just sighed in response.

"I promise you I am All Might." The skinny man who actually turned out to be All Might revealed but as he finished blood leaked out of his mouth causing the two boys to scream in terror again.
