After hazuki left, Izuku continued his way back home. He was reading his notebook about hero analysis and was completely absorbed in it.
Izuku was walking under a bridge when suddenly the manhole cover shot up, revealing the slime bodied sludge villain running amok in the streets just a few minutes ago.
Seeing Izuku, the villain muttered. "A medium sized body.. to hide in.."
After saying that, the villain pounced into Izuku, engulfing him with sticky liquids.
"Don't be afraid i will only borrow your body. This will only hurt for about 45 seconds, after that it'll all be over." The villain said while trying to get inside Izuku's body through his mouth.
Izuku choked on the sludge villain's liquid, his eyes watered as he find it harder to breathe.
"I'm saved. You're a real hero. I never thought he would show up in this town." The villain said excitedly.
Izuku tried to extricate himself from the villain's grasp by clawing at the liquids restraining him.
Seeing Izuku struggling to escape, the villain said. "No point trying that, im fluid, you see!"
'I can't breathe! My body is getting.. weak..' Izuku thought.
'I'm dying! I'm gonna die!! Somebody help! I'm dying!!'
Izuku shouted, but no sound escaped his mouth. He was being choked by the sludge villain's liquid inside his mouth.
"Fear not kid!! I am here!" Someone's voice suddenly sounded.
A hulking mass of muscles entered his vision as the man came out of the same manhole the sludge villain appeared.
The man pulled his elbow and punched the empty space in front of him.
Suddenly, a gust of mighty wind pressure that was generated from his punch blew the sludge villain away from Izuku.
'All..might' that was Izuku's last thought as he fainted right away.
As Izuku fainted, All Might stored the sludge villain in a plastic bottle. Looked at Izuku carefully and carried him him away. As e got out of the tunnel he looked at his surrounding as muttered.
"Was it just my imagination..? I can feel a faint presence nearby watching and as i defeated this sludge villain the presence disappeared.." He looked at Izuku who he was carrying on his shoulder.
'Was it watching me or this kid?' He wondered.
——-Hazuki's POV——-
After leaving Izuku, I tailed him stealthily and observed the surrounding area.
With my High sense Stat i can clearly feel the sludge villain's movement. He was hiding underground and was traveling at fast speed, not that fast for me though.
As soon as Izuku entered the tunnel, I readied myself and prepared for the worst case scenario. If all might couldn't arrive in time to save Izuku, then I would do it myself. I will restrain myself and only move if necessary.
'Izuku needs this opportunity to become a hero, he needs to receive All Might's legacy. I will only be watching over him and help him if ever All Might comes late.' I thought as I observed Izuku from a distance.
I shifted my attention back in the underground. I can feel the ground vibrating as something or someone approached where Izuku and the sludge villain were.
'All might finally arrived, now I don't have to interfere and Izuku could safely receive All might's legacy.' I smiled while thinking and removed my attention from them.
'All might may have noticed my presence, but can't exactly pinpoint my location. That's good, i would be a shinobi for naught if he can actually find my exact location.' I chuckled at my thoughts.
After that, i tailed All might and Izuku. All might suddenly stopped in a quiet neighborhood without people walking around.
He laid down Izuku in the ground and started tapping him, calling out "Hey! Hey! Hey!".
"Thank goodness! You are okay! Excellent! Apologies.. for hetting you caught up in my villain hunt." All might apologized to Izuku.
After apologizing, All might assured that the villain was already apprehended by him as he showed a bottle containing the sludge villain.
I can see Izuku's eyes sparkling, just from seeing his idol All might. 'He was completely fanboy-ing in his head right now for sure.' I thought as i gazed at Izuku's entranced appearance.
"Ah! An authograph! Where is it?! My notebook?!" Izuku was panicking as he search for his notebook all over his stuff.
"Ah! My notebook..." Izuku paused as he opened his notebook.
"He already did it!" Izuku added as he saw the row of letters written in his notebook after opening it.
"Wow..!! Thank you very much!! It'll be my family heirloom!!" Izuku said the excitedly as he bowed profusely towards All might's direction.
"I need to hand this Villain over to the authorities, you can catch up on the TV!" Said All might strongly as he prepared to get away from that place.
I saw All might bent his knees and exerted force in his legs.
*woosh* All might jumped. In an instant he was already in the skies.
I immediately followed them directly below them, because i know what Izuku did in the original timeline. He grasped onto All might's leg before All might could take off to the skies. In case something went wrong i can catch Izuku.
All might noticed weight in his legs while he was in the skies. He looked back to see Izuku, who was grabbing onto his legs.
"Hey! Now!"
"Release me! Such enthusiasm is just a bit too much!" All might exclaimed.
"If i.. if i .. let go .. now.. I will.. I'll Die.!!" Said Izuku in rebuttal.
"True enough." And All might also agreed in Izuku's statement.
"I...Need to ask you... So many things.. GAHHH!! You..." Izuku explained His reason for grabbing All might. But due to the wind resistance Izuku can't speak properly.
"Okay! Just do me a favor and close your eyes and mouth!" All might requested as he saw the state Izuku was in. Izuku's eyes and mouth were being blown by the wind.
'Damn.' All might thought as he felt his body transforming back into his shabby form.
——-Third person POV——-
While All might was busy looking after Izuku Midoriya, He didn't notice the plastic bottle that was inserted in his pocket fell.
*Woosh*
The bottle fell in the way of 3 Students. The person in front, who looked like the trio's leader look pissed.
"Aren't you friends when you were kids?" The black haired lackey in the back said.
"Yea, so why are you so pissed in him?" The other lackey added in agreement to his friend.
"You wouldn't understand why i am so Irritated in that B*astard." Bakugou said through gritted teeth as he kicked a plastic bottle in front of him.
"Seeing him looking at me with that sarcastic smile which seems to mock me. It pisses me off." Bakugou said as the bottle in his hands exploded. Bakugou used his Quirk.
*GRRRRRRRR* A sound pulled Bakugou out of his thoughts.
"Thought i told you to stop smoking?! Get caught and it'll go on my record too!" Bakugou scolded his two friends when he suddenly heard that sound.
His two friends were silent, frozen in place due to fear, they were trembling as they pointed their finger up-front.
"H-hey..!" They said simultaneously in fear.
"A body... With a good Quirk..!!"
Bakugou suddenly heard a voice behind him. In the next moment he was engulfed in the sludge villain's sticky body.
—A few minutes before—
All might landed on top of a tall building.
"Scary..." Izuku muttered with dead eyes.
"Hopefully the people downstairs will help us get down! I've mo time truly!" All might hoped to get away from that place as soon as possible, his transformation is going to end.
"Wait!! Uh.—" "No!! I will not wait!" Even before Izuku could finish his sentence, All might already impatiently answered.
But Izuku continued his words anyway.
"Can i still be a hero..? Can someone without a Quirk ... Become A hero like you?" As he closed his eyes, Izuku softly asked with hope.
"Quirks are..—" All might's sentence was cut in the middle. It was because of the sudden pain that came from his right rib.
'Oh no, Damn it all..' All thought as he watched his body deflate, with smoke rising up from within him.
Izuku not knowing what happened to All might, Slowly told his story.
"Because i don't have a a Quirk, I... Well, Maybe that's not the only reason. But I've always been picked on.. That's why.. Maybe that's why.. I think that saving people is just about the coolest Thing someone can do.."
"The way you save people with that fearless smile! I want to be the strongest hero Just like yo--" Izuku paused " Whaaaat?!" He can't believe what he is seeing All might who was a hulking mass of muscles suddenly turned into a skinny old man.
"You're All Shriveled? Huh?! A fake?! An impostor?! So thin!" Izuku shouted in extreme shock.
"I am All might." The skinny old man declared. "Whoa! No way!" Izuku exclaimed in shock.
"You know how people hold their breath at the pool? It's like that." All might explained to Izuku's confused look,
"A fearless smile huh..? You've seen the real me kid, But don't write about it on the internet, okay?"
"5 years ago an enemy did this to me." All might added as he suddenly raised the corner of his shirt, revealing a horrible scar that covered his whole right chest until his lower right rib.
All might explained the state of his body to Izuku. He also revealed that he can only work as a hero for 3 hours now.
"Five years ago..? Was that when you fought toxic chainsaw?" Izuku asked, trembling.
"That lowlife? He could never do this to me. That fight was never revealed to the public, I asked it not be be made public. A symbol of peace who saves everyone with a smile must never be daunted by evil...!" All might said, looking dignified in his speech.
"And the reason why i smile is to shake off the overwhelming pressure and fear i feel."
"A pro should always be ready to risk his life. Without power, can i become a hero? I think not." After hearing All might's response, Izuku looked out of himself, despair painted on his face.
All might advised Izuku to give up on being a hero and just become a police, which he can also save human lives. He presented the Hard truth in Izuku's face.
As All might made his way down, He used his hands to feel the bottle in his pockets, but even after a few tries he failed to touch the bottle. He looked down to see the bottle missing.
When a Crashing sound suddenly appeared within the streets directly in front of him. "Oh no!" All might thought.
At this moment Bakugou was trying his very best in removing the Sludge villain away from him. Exploding sounds came from his hands as he tried to pry himself out of the sludge villains grasp.
'As if i'm letting this Mudman take my body for himself..!' Bakugou thought while he was being possessed by the Sludge villain.
Pro Heroes surrounded the Sludge Monster as they tried to rescue Bakugou and Capture the Villain.
Seeing the situation becoming more disadvantageous for him, The Sludge Monster Rampaged, He destroyed everything he could see, Fire broke out in the neighborhood and Fire Hydrant's were broken as they spewed water everywhere.
"A single lane street? I can't get there!" Mt. Lady with her Gigantic body just arrived on the scene But can't enter due to the narrow streets.
"Someone else has to take this guy! Fire is my weakness." Said Kamui Woods while he retreated with Victims entangled on his vines.
Many people were watching the fight cheering for the heroes Victory.
-----------------------
Izuku Midoriya was teary while he was walking, he seems to be thinking of something. His head was bowed and he was blankly staring down while walking.
What All might said still remained in his mind, But he still couldn't accept the truth. He wanted to be a hero that saves people with a smile, he hoped ever since he was a child. And now his Idol said it right in front of his face, it was the only time he felt despair.
Izuku then noticed a crowd of people swarming towards a street, Rising flames can be seen on the street where the people are watching.
Due to curiosity Izuku approached. What he saw Shocked him, the sludge Villain that All might caught was now wrecking Havoc and His friend Katsuki bakugou seemed to be taken as a Hostage.
'How is he here?! Didn't All might already caught him?!' Izuku was shocked.
"!!!!!" He suddenly thought of a possibility. 'All might Dropped him?! Then, This is my fault!'
Izuku saw Bakugou Struggling to escape the Sludge villains grasp. And felt the situation was familiar.
'He's enduring the same pain i felt earlier.'
At this moment Bakugou looked over and Izuku's eyes met his gaze.
Izuki immediately ran towards bakugou, when he was nearing Bakugou he slammed his Bag to the Sludge Villain.
"Kacchan!" Said Izuku, then he used his hands to remove the Sticky liquids on Bakugou.
"You! Why!" Asked Bakugou, irritated by Izuku's Appearance.
"You looked like you are in need to be saved." Izuku responded, tears forming at the corner of his eyes, completely terrified.
When All might saw this Situation, His eyes widened "Pathetic..! Pathetic..!" He said as he Forced Himself to transform into his Massive Form.
Suddenly, All might arrived in front of the trio. He grabbed Izuku Midoriya's and Katsuki Bakugou's hands as he said "The lesson i left you with..! I should practice what i preach! A Pro should always be ready to risk his Life!"
"DETROIT.... SMASH!" All might Punched with all of his remaining strength. A tornado formed as the villain's body scattered everywhere.
Raindrops fell as the weather changed due to The Wind pressure All might's Punch Created.
"Hey hey hey" " He changed the weather with just a single punch!" The masses cheered in awe as they witnessed All might's Majestic Power.
Afterwards, The Police, Firefighters and Pro-heroes entered the scene. The Firefighters Together with the Pro-heroes Cleaned up the mess created by the fight. While the Police coordinated with Other Pro-heroes in apprehending the Sludge villain.
This time Izuku was strictly Scolded by the Pro-heroes about what he did, He did put himself in unnecessary danger after all. On the other hand, Bakugou was praised for his bravery and his amazingn Quirk.
Izuku searched for All might Everywhere to thank him, But he can't Find All might at all. So he Just decided to go home. While he was on his way home, An angry voice interrupted Izuku's thoughts.
"Hey, Deku."
"I never asked you to save me! As if you could! Huh?! I could beat that villain on my own! How could a Quirkless failure like you pity me?! Trying to win me Over? Don't mock me!" After saying all he wanted to say, Bakugou left Spatting curses everywhere.
"I am here!" "HUH?!" Izuku was startled by a powerful voice behind him. All might was there, Displaying his iconic pose and smile.
After finding out where All might came from, Izuku asked What All might was doing there.
"Kid, I have come to thank you and revise what i said earlier. I also have a Proposal...."
"Without you..If i hadn't heard your story... I'd have been fake muscles and insincerity! So, thank you!"
"That.. no .. i mean, It was all my fault from the start! I got in your way, even though I'm Quirkless, I dared to ask if..." Izuku immersed himself in self-blame from what happened before.
If only he hadn't grabbed All might's leg, then that Sludge villain would've never escaped in the first place..
"Exactly! Out of all the people in that place. It was only you! The timid, Quirkless who acted! You Spurred me to Action!!" All might Countered Izuku's negative thought's with his own Words and encouraged the Young man in front of him.
"Most of the top heroes showed greatness even as a child.. Many of them claimed that.. Their bodies moved before they could think!!" All might's words pierced Izuku and stirred something within him.
Memories of the past suddenly rushed into Izuku as All might's words neared It's end.
"That's what happened to you back there, Yes ?!" "Yes!" Izuku Answered While crying.
And All might's last words Struck Izuku the most. It was the words he wanted to hear since he was a child. Since the time he was diagnosed as Quirkless, Izuku wanted to hear these words.
"You CAN be a Hero."
Even Hazuki, who was Watching from afar felt touched for his friend. He can finally achieve his Dream of being a Pro-hero. He felt Sympathy for Izuku as both of them Experienced Trauma when they were Children, The only difference was, Izuku remained positive and didn't give up. While he easily gave up.
'Good luck Izuku' Hazuki thought as he finally Averted his gaze and made his way home.
