Sir Nighteye
Sir Nighteye was having a normal day in his office. The Yakuza was slowly moving again and there were mentions of Trigger being available in the streets. The Yakuza has cleared the streets of opposing factions and owns the street. He was going to look into the reason behind the current resurgence of the old villain group, when his intern ran into room and exclaimed;
"Sir, you have to come and see this news, right away. It's horrible and All Might is mentioned couple of times." Sir Nighteye was very surprised and for a second, he remembered his prediction of his friend's death, but remembered it was not so soon.
"Be concise, what had happened?" Nighteye asked as he started moving to the hall in which the TV is running.
"Sir, A Slime Villain had taken a women hostage and Death Arms, Kamui Woods and Backdraft were on the scene when a 10-year-old boy ran yelling something, overcoming the barricade and distracted the monster by attacking Slimes' eye when Death Arms finally caught him. He started giving orders about attacking eyes, using water and how he was its first victim and almost died before All Might showed up and rescued him, put the villain in a glass bottle and flew away. Hearing about All Might, I came to tell you."
Sir Nighteye nodded and started analyzing the scene in the TV. The woman was dead or at least fainted and rescued by the kids Quirk. He looked for Yagi and he saw him standing in the back of the crowd. Sir Nighteye watched gravely as Death Arms tried to blame the kid and shift responsibility of the death under his watch to recover popularity and he watched amusedly as the Kid tore him and the hero society a new one.
'Whoever this kid is, he is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable in current affairs of our society, but what troubles me is the killing intent the kid already has, even the camera is shaking and the entire crowd except Yagi is frozen.' Nighteye thought to himself.
But two minutes later Nighteye lost all his amusement as the kid levelled murder charges against All Might of all people in National Television. The most harrowing part for him was he could see Yagi in a horror-stricken face in the background frozen too. As the crowd dispersed slowly, Yagi hadn't moved, he was staring at the kid who was walking toward the medical van. The moment Yagi took first step Nighteye knew his friend was going to apologize in national television and in front of the media.
Nighteye doesn't need to use his Quirk on himself to know the impact in Japan if All Might showed himself at this scene. He was horrified, at All Might's short sightedness regarding the matter. Nighteye ran to his office and closed the room so that no one will hear the following conversation.
Yagi Toshinori stared at the kid with regret, even now many people didn't want to believe that he would drop a villain like that. He started walking towards the alley to turn, when his phone ringed with a specific ringtone. A ringtone for his former sidekick and friend, Sir Nighteye. All Might doesn't regret not following Mirai's suggestion for retirement, even though he misses his friend and the analyst of his office whose meticulous plans allowed him to save so many people without many setbacks.
"Now is not the time, Mirai." Yagi picked the phone annoyedly
"On the contrary, now is the perfect time, All Might. Do not approach the scene now, whatever is the truth of the matters is, it doesn't matter, the situation needs a proper thought-out response made calmly and rationally, not your emotional one, if you fly there now the damages will be catastrophic."
"How many times, I have to say to you not to use your Quirk to look into my future Mirai, and if you are wondering, everything the kid said is true about me, The Villain escaped due to my carelessness, even though it was because the kid jumped and grabbed my leg when I jumped to the air. I have to apologise and give him some support now"
"How, foolish of the boy. I don't need to use my quirk to predict about this, All Might, please listen to me, if you go to there now, your good name will be dragged down the mud. "The Symbol of Peace" is not allowed to commit such a rookie mistake like loosing the villain and not looking for him without just cause. Unless you are willing to disclose your reduced form and limit, there is no justifiable way to reason your presence there minutes later after the death and capture of victim other than simple carelessness. The kid is now very emotional as you see, even I can't predict how he will react if he knew you were on the scene and did nothing. He has used the situation to express the truth of our society in a spectacular manner that no amount of false propaganda by the HPSC will wash away the results of that charismatic speech. We can prepare an official statement and you can apologise on national television after thinking things through, please All Might, I am begging you to walk away for now, as your former sidekick and your friend, please trust me." Nighteye finished passionately and in a desperate tone.
All Might thought about the plea by one of the brains behind his attack on AFO's empire and decided to follow through the advice. "OK. For now, I will not respond, meet me at UA. I am going to meet Principal Nezu and Recovery girl, whatever our response will be they knew I was in Mustafu and they should be kept in loop." All Might replied, cut the call and walked away without turning back. A lone tear was slowly dripping down his face.
1 Hour Ago
All For One was resting when The Doctor came running through the door. AFO was annoyed that his rest was interrupted " Doctor, you should have a very good reason for barging into my room at my rest time. You know the pain I am under, so what is it?"
The Doctor cursed himself for not knocking and said; "My Lord, the invisible drone following your son is displaying very interesting visuals, your son was attacked by a Slime Villain and rescued by All Might minutes ago. I have connected the visuals to the display in this room. It will be live in 5 seconds."
AFO was surprised by the curveball that hit his plans regarding his experiment. AFO and the Doctor started watching the situation very carefully.
50 Minutes Later…
"Hahaha…" AFO laughed so hard that the headache he had turned into a migraine. "Well, this is a golden opportunity my dear Doctor. My son has made the first impact against the hero society even without realizing it and it doesn't even need any manipulation from me. That honest oaf will confirm what my son has said and the impact will be huge and if he didn't, then as a proud father I should support my dear son by releasing this video anonymously. Thank you, Doctor, for your vigilance and making sure I saw this in live."
Doctor was happy by the praise; "My Lord, what about the boys future, he has your quirk even a upgraded version as he doesn't need to touch to take them."
"Upgraded version? You can't say that without studying it Doctor, My quirk All For One is a Class 6 first generation quirk, Inko's was a fourth generation quirk and surprisingly a Class 3 quirk, the difference in quirks generation and class is very large. Even I can't predict how it has combined. There is also the problem of adaptation, I can maintain this many quirks because of practice and my body is used to handle the strain of quirks. It took me quite a bit of time to become so. Izuku will also take time".
"I see. What should be done now, my lord? Should we let Izuku go to whatever the will of the women was or an orphanage?" The Doctor asked in curiosity.
"I think it's time for Izuku to meet his dear old loving father and to be groomed as my perfect heir." AFO said with a cruel grin his face.
The President
The women known as Madam President of HPSC was having a normal day. She was content with how the society has been going on and happy that the mess about Lady Nagant was finally over. Finally, she has ascended to the rightful place for her. The most powerful position in the government- President of Hero Public Safety Commission, the Government branch that controls the Heroes, and Japan is blessed with the one of the most powerful men and women in the Top 10 and she controls their fate. The only single hero outside of her control is All Might himself. Any other hero she can sink their fortune and the heroes know it. She is especially happy with herself because she inherited a position, that is almost secure. The new Prime Minister and the Diet owes her for coming into that position, the Eternal Terror called All for One is dead in the hands of All Might, all her enemies have been secretly killed of by using the foolish President and his pet assassin, the she herself manipulated Lady Nagant in offing the former President without anyone being wiser. Everything was perfect in her world as it should be. The only imperfection was UA, it's Rat God and All Might himself.
A knock came from outside and she bid them enter. It was the director of PR and Crisis Management together and she understood that something was wrong in her perfect world.
"What is it? Has All Might finally kicked the bucket for you two to come together?" Madam President asked.
"Madam, I think you should see this news, it's only ended just now and it's viral in every social media and news outlet. Even the international news has started reporting it because All Might is involved."
"Ok, let me watch it." Madam President said and watched the entire video twice.
"So, what is the initial damage and who the hell is this kid? He speaks like he has a quirk for public speaking or for charisma."
"Initial damage is as expected. While the public is heavily debating whether the involvement of All Might is true or false, the public and media surprisingly is in the Kids side regarding Death Arms, Kamui woods and Backdraft. After the speech went viral, as expected social media is getting bogged down by people who is discriminated for their quirklessness, mutant quirk or villain quirk or for having weak and useless quirks but the surprising thing is the amount of messages in for the amendment of quirk laws and to make quirk use legal and daily use of quirks in job and even to save their on lives. In Short, this is the most dangerous thing to occur after the death battle between All Might and the unnamed Shadow King two years ago that leveled a city." Crisis finished
"As for the kid, his name is Izuku Midoriya, age 10, formerly quirk less and studies at Aldera Middle School. I pulled his records, quite average in every subject and records is full of punishments for being nuisance in class and for general troublemaking. The dead woman is his mother Inko Midoriya, quirk: Attraction of small things, no known family. The kid had no quirk, everything in the video is pure natural talent, even though I still don't understand why the speech was allowed to be given in the first place itself or why the camera is shaking as if the camera man is trembling in fear when shooting a 10 year old. The heroes or the police should have stopped him long before he named All Might for the whole world to notice." The PR director finished.
"What about his father? Who is he?"
"Now, this is where things get interesting, Father's name is Midoriya Hisashi, quirk: Fire Breath. Works in America for a company. All education records show average mark. No records for any illegal activity, not even quirk use or being in a villain scene. Nothing. Everything is so unremarkable and not noteworthy that it became remarkable and interesting." PR finished.
"Regulate the Internet and try to curb the negative messages. Make sure our representatives mention the entire speech as foolish due to misunderstanding of the kid due to his age, in the late-night news debates. Contact All Might and enquire what he plans to do? Try to make him give a statement denying everything. Let the police start procedure against the heroes as usual, the public should know we are doing something and tell our investigators to dig into his father. Give the heroes fully paid leaves, for compliance and please allow no more interviews with the kid. Inform the media to cease trying to talk to him again in the follow up, if needed give minority as a reason." Madam President ordered.
As the directors left her office, Madam President cursed herself for thinking everything was perfect as things immediately went downhill. She hoped that no more curveballs hit her and the society she envisioned in the future. She got her envisioned society for 4 years before wrecking balls started falling in it.
Re-Destro commonly known as Rikiya Yotsubashi was preparing for a meeting with top generals of his Meta Liberation Army when, his hacker and online manager came to the room in a hurry and showed him a video of a villain attack involving 3 heroes, a kid using his quirk to try save his mother, to an impassioned speech and the final nail in the coffin, a police complaint in national television. After thinking through Re-Destro said; "Make our online presence start noise about the quirk laws. Create momentum for the voices that will raise in support of the kid and pay our lawyers to represent for the kid as concerned citizen's charity for justice and truth."
Skeptic only nodded with a smile and left the room.
