There’s a saying that goes: Never meet your Heroes. Izuku Midoriya learned that the hard way as All Might who has turned skinny has told him that being a Quirkless Hero is impossible and to give up.
“Am I really gonna quit my dreams of becoming a Hero as All Might told me to?” The young boy muttered to himself as he was walking in the street. Although his dreams are shattered, his will and determination never fade away. He really wants a Quirk now. “I wish I want a Quirk now.”
Well, he got his wish come true.
(Somewhere nearby)
An object was flying around Japan aiming for a worthy successor. Unfortunately, all it found was a disappointment. That is until it spotted a boy. It was about to fly off until it senses something inside him.
Hi-His soul is so majestic. It’s shining like a golden sunset that brings gold into shame. His determination, his will, and his goal. It’s so beautiful!
It has found it. Its first-ever successor! Now time to grant him all the powers of the previous users.
(Back to Midoriya)
Little Izuku hasn’t noticed an object was flying towards him at incredible speed.
“Huh?” He looked up and saw an arrow with a golden tip heading toward him. Izuku’s eyes widen in shock as he failed to dodge in time as it hit him in his left chest.
“Gahh!” He coughed up blood as he fell down and twitched in pain as he began to lose blood. He was about to lose consciousness and his eyelids began to drop down.
‘A-Am I gonna die here?! I-I haven’t achieved my dream yet.’
“You will become a great hero, young child.”
‘Huh? Who’s talking?’
“Wake up, user. It’s not your time yet.”
Suddenly, Izuku’s eyes are opened as he slowly gets up.
“W-What happened?” He glanced at his bloodied uniform. “Oh yeah. I got stabbed by th-THE ARROW!” He then panicked as he opened his shirt to see if his wound is bad.
What shocked him was that the blood on his body is not there. But there’s also a hole that’s a size of a 100 yen coin. And there’s no arrow in sight.
“Huh? Did it heal already? Oh but there’s a hole in it. Mom’s gonna freak out if she finds out about this.”
(Later)
As Izuku went into the street, he spotted a large crowd gathering in panic.
“THERE’S A VILLAIN UP ON THE BUILDING!”
“HE HAS A HOSTAGE!”
The pros, Kamui Woods, Death Arms, and a debuted Mount Lady are in a pickle as their Quirks are not useful against the Sludge Villain.
“Shit! This is not good!” The Wood Pro cursed himself.
“My Quirk is not useful in this.” The Giantess Hero muttered.
Izuku’s eyes widen as not only he saw the Sludge Villain he encountered, but who the hostage is.
“KACCHAN!” Part of him felt the urge to run up and protect himself from the villain. But there’s also doubt as he felt he was worthless, as his childhood friend always said.
“Useless!”
“Worthless Deku!”
“Why don’t you go take a swan dive off the roof?”
Izuku quickly shakes his head. His eyes are now full of determination.
‘No! I have to save him, Quirk or not!’
Somewhere, a figure smiled at the boy’s will.
‘I definitely choose the perfect kid.’
Suddenly, he sprinted towards the crowd with the speed that envied Ingenium.
“Hey kid! Don’t go up there!”
“It’s too dangerous!” The pros are surprised that the boy ran so fast toward the danger.
‘W-What the?! My legs! They’re going so fast!’
The boy quickly ran up to the building as fast as possible. Once he reaches the top, he saw the blond kid looking terrified as he can’t do anything to blast the villain away.
“Get away from him!” The villain looks in Izuku’s direction. Even though he’s shaking with fear, he won’t stop until he saves Kacchan.
“Oh. It’s you again. Two for the price of one. This time, All MIght isn’t here to save you, brat.”
“S-So what?! I don’t care if I’m useless or that All Might isn’t here, I’ll defeat you, villain s-scum!”
“Oh, playing hero eh? Well then…” The villain launches its tendrils toward him. “This will be your last words!”
Izuku’s eyes are still fixating, focused as he threw his fist out.
“ORA!” The impact was so powerful, it not only destroyed the slimy tendrils but causes a large shockwave that the crowd can feel it.
“W-Woah!”
“What was that?!”
The Pros also felt that wave.
“Was that All MIght?” Death Arms said to Woods.
“No. That one is way stronger. Plus, he never said his moves.”
“So, who did that?”
Izuku’s eyes are glaring at the villain as he emits a strong aura that makes him shiver in fear.
ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
Then, a large figure slowly appeared in front of the greenette.
It reveals to be a large and buff man and has long, flowing hair with a darker shade above its eyes and on the bridge of its nose, blurring the distinction between its hair and head. The spaces under its eyes and on its cheeks and chin are a darker color and are divided clearly from the space around its nose and mouth. It wears a cap on its chin, and a metallic headband in three pieces, the central piece of which is shaped as a vertical ellipse. Initially, its facial features were very similar to a certain dolphin lover.
A wavy line runs from each arm to the front of its torso, continuing down its legs. It has a minimal range of clothing and armor, including a short, circular scarf, shoulder pads with a spiral design, long gloves with studs on the back, knee and elbow guards, a loincloth, and short boots.

“W-What the hell was that?” He lets go of the hostage in fear as a ghostly figure is looking at him like a piece of trash. And Katsuki looked at Deku surprised.
Izuku said nothing as he continued to glare at the villain and the color palette changed.
(JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders OST-Stardust Crusaders)
“Yare yare daze. You really pissed me off.” He took a deep breath. Inhale. Exhale.
“ORYAH!!!!” He yelled as both he and the large figure began to pulverize the villain with fast and powerful punches.
“ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!” One by one, each punch provides a mini shockwave that sounds like a shotgun at the villain. Even in sludge form, he felt every single painful punch by the strange and scary phantom and the boy.
“ORA!” The last punch they both threw launched the villain toward the empty space where the crowd is watching. Once the dust was cleared, the Pros saw a bloodied and fainted man with many purple bruises and many broken bones. His mouth has lost some teeth, and his eyes are rolled up.
“H-Holy shit!”
“The villain got knocked the fuck out!”
Two male pros look at each other, all with the same thought.
‘Did the kid do this?’
Mount Lady who was the closest to the scene, saw the boy really did a huge number on that villain.
‘Woah. That was so awesome.’
Back to the protagonist, the Stand disappeared Izuku’s brain began to render. Part of him is excited:
“OHMYGODIHAVEAQUIRK!” But also fear:
“Oh my god! I punched the villain!”
Suddenly, All Might appeared.
“I AM HERE!” Then the number 1 looked around. “A BIT TOO LATE!”
(Later)
While Izuku was faced with scolds by reporters for being reckless and praising Bakubitc-I mean Bakugo, the three heroes felt respect for the bravery of the boy in both saving the hostage and defeating the villain.
“Hey, kid.” He looks towards Kamui Woods. “That was very brave of you to do that. Even I wasn’t that brave to fight off against him.”
“Yeah same here. Hey, can you show me that wicked punch again? I wanna try that in the future.” Death Arms did a one-two punch.
Izuku felt overwhelmed by two male Pros who praised him. Suddenly, a third party showed up behind him and hugged the boy.
“Wow~. That was so courageous of you to do so. Where did that come from?” Izuku’s face did a pretty good impression of a tomato due to the fact that the heroine’s breasts are resting on top of his head.
“W-Well I saw my friend in danger and my instincts told me to save him.”
“Fuhuhu~.” The heroine giggled at the shyness. One moment, he’s a green mean fighting machine, and the next is a sweet boy. It was so cute. “Well, you certainly did the three of us a good impression on you.” She bend down and kissed the boy on the nose. “Thank you, little hero~.”
Izuku.exe has stopped working…
“Mount Lady…” Kamui Woods glared at the woman.
“What?” She shrugged innocently. “I was just giving him a reward.” She gave the petrified boy an autograph of her. “Here. You earned it.”
The remaining Pros have a tick mark on their forehead as they were a bit slow giving the green-haired an autograph.
“Here, kiddo. A gift for saving this city.”
“Mine too.”
Izuku felt like he was in paradise right now. A kiss from Mount Lady AND three autographs? Oh somebody please pinch him!
“Oy, Deku!” Not that kind, but that’ll do.
The four turned to the exploding Pomeranian with a scowling look on his face.
“What the hell was that up there?! Do you suddenly have a Quirk?! Do you have it this whole time?! Are you really looking down on me, you shitty nerd!?” As he approaches, he was stopped by Death Arms.
“Woah Woah Woah, kid. Chill out. This “nerd” here just saved your life from the villain. You should at least be grateful about it.”
“Tsk.” He looked away in annoyance.
“Don’t think this is over, Deku! And by the way, I don’t need your help or anyone’s help! You got that?!” He walks away from sight.
“Geez. And I thought Hound Dog had issues.” Kamui looked at the true hero. “You have to deal with this kid every day?”
Izuku weakly nodded.
“*sigh*. Kids these days. No appreciation. Well\, time to go. See ya later\, kiddo.” Kamui latches onto buildings and swings away with his tree limbs.
“Keep in touch, mossy head.” Death Arms launches with his arms.
“Bye-bye, little hero~. Stay safe~!” Mount Lady turns to her giant form and sprints away.
“…Woah…”
(Later)
“There are so many thoughts I have in my mind right now. Did I gain a Quirk when saving Kacchan? Or did my punch really hit that hard?” Izuku muttered softly as he walks home.
“I’ll explain it to you.”
“W-Who’s there?!” He looked around the streets, looking for the voice.
“Hold on. Let me just-“ A large door appeared in front of him and it opened. The voice then revealed to be a man who is almost as tall as All Might. He wears a black trenchcoat and a dark blue fedora. He also appears to be smoking a cigar.
“Who are you?” Izuku looked at the large man in front of him. He pulls a cigar out and puffs out a large smoke up in the air.
“My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone."
TAKE 2
“My name is Joshua Joestar, or JoJo for short. Current founder of the Stand Arrow.”
“Stand arrow? So it was you who shot me!”
“Well yes. But actually, no.” Izuku was confused by that statement. “It’s true that it was my arrow, but it chose someone who is worthy enough to have this bizarre power.”
“So…It thinks I’m worthy?”
“Kiddo.” He bends down at eye level. “You’re a one in a mil-no. A billion. Not everyone has this type of determination and a golden heart as much as you. Hell, you make my great great great great great grandfather Jonathan Joestar, who may I remind you is a gentleman, looks like a punk. That’s why the arrow chose you to have this power.”
“A-And what power is that?”
The man puts his cigar back into his mouth.
“Stands. It’s an entity psychically generated by its owner, referred to as a Stand User. It generally presents itself as a figure hovering over or near the user and possesses abilities beyond that of an ordinary human.”
“So. What do I have?” The large man was hesitant to say. But he took a sigh, releasing smoke.
“Can't tell, but my guess is that you can access all of them."
“W-Woah! Tha-That sounds awesome!”
“Indeed, my boy.” JoJo takes out a notebook. “Here are the details of all the Stands. Be careful not to drop it.”
“I-I promise to keep it safe!”
“Good. Oh and one more thing. If anyone is suspicious about your Stands, there’s a note written of it.”
Izuku flipped the note and saw the big red words on it.
“Quirk: Phantom
Allows the user to grant them superhuman abilities and strengths based on the previous users it has. Like a torch.
Side effects: May affect MPD.”
“MPD? Why would that affect Multiple Personality Disorder? Mr. JoJo, what does it mean by tha-He’s gone!” Indeed the man was nowhere in sight.
(Midoriya’s Apartment Place, evening)
“I’m home!” Suddenly, he was tackled by his mother, Inko Midoriya. She’s a grown woman with the same hair color and eyes as her son.
“Oh Izuzu, my sweet baby boy! Are you okay?! I saw the news lately, and I was so worried about you! Is that blood on your shirt?!”
“M-Mom. I’m okay, I promise.”
“Are you sure?! I swear you’re about to make me have a heart attack right here. But I’m glad you’re here in one piece. Come on, I’m making your favorite Katsudon.”
“Niceu. Thanks, mom.”
After dinner, Izuku went to his room which are filled with All Might merchandise. He went to his desk and opened the notebook JoJo gave to him.
“Alright. Show me what you have.”
Izuku spends all night researching all of the Stands. He had written out its predecessors, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses in his head.
As he looked into it, he saw a sentence that shocked him. It was from Joshua.
“IF ANYTHING GOES HORRIBLY WRONG, YOU HAVE TO KILL BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!”
Izuku gulped. He was never fond of killing villains or killing in general. But he remembered what happened today. He nearly killed that sludge villain. Maybe, just maybe he will resort to that option if he’s in a pickle. So, he resumes reading the details.
(Dagobah Beach)
Izuku Midoriya has learned about Stands and is here to test out its skills. He’s currently at the dirtiest beach with his cyan jumpsuit and a headband that reads: “MOTIVATE” in Kanji.
“Alright. Let’s see what you got, Izuku.” He took a deep breath.
“Sticky Fingazu!!” He summoned the Stand of the mother of all six of his children.
The Stand is a humanoid with a similar build to Bruno Bucciarati’s. Its face is hidden apart from the mouth by a helmet-like covering adorned with a mohawk-like row of short spikes. Its body is covered in a dark body suit, with the chest and stomach exposed, and has pieces of padded armor over the shoulders, arms and wrists, knees and feet. Zippers varying in size hang from the base of its neck and abdomen, the back of its hands, and the top of its feet.
“ARI!” Sticky Fingers punches the fridge, forming a large zipper on it, tearing it in half in the process.
STAND NAME: STICKY FINGERS
FORMER USER: BRUNO BUCCIARATI
STATS:
STRENGTH: A
SPEED: A
RANGE: C
DURABILITY: D
PRECISION: C
POTENTIAL: D
‘While Sticky Finger is a fast hard hitter, its range, and durability are weighing it down, and its precision is average at best. Not to mention its poor full potential. Maybe I could work this one out if I can try. Maybe increase its durability a little bit?’ Izuku did his signature muttering before spotting someone familiar to him. It was All Might who was teaching a girl with ginger hair with a side ponytail, blue eyes, and wearing a red qipao.
“Remember, Young Kendo. One For All is a very special Quirk that passed down to previous users. Use it carefully. Or you might blow your limbs off.”
“W-What?!” The ginger looked at her teacher in shock.
“Now I know it’s bad. But with enough hard work, and the schedule I will hand it to you, you’ll be the greatest Symbol of Peace.”
“I’ll try.” All Might hands out the training schedule to Kendo “The American Plan” as it calls.
“This is your training plan for the next 10 months.” The future OFA user’s eyes bulged out as she looks into the paper in surprise.
“Even sleep is scheduled…”
All Might turns back to his skinny form, aka Toshinori Yagi.
“When you follow all of these steps, you’ll be an unstoppable hero.” He puts up his signature thumbs up and a toothy smile to her.
Kendo’s eyes are filled with determination.
“I will, Sensei.”
Izuku might be thinking that it was not the appropriate time to interfere with them so he went back to where he started. That is until he accidentally stepped on a newspaper.
“Crud.” He muttered.
Both the Number 1 Hero and the Future OFA user looked at the source of the noise and saw the green-haired boy walking backward. While Kendo remembered him from the news, All Might was surprised to find the kid again on this beach.
“Young Midoriya?”
“Um… Hi All Might.” He sheepishly waved.
“You know him?”
“I-He was the one who saved me from that Sludge villain a few days ago.”
“Oh. Like that one time you-What is that thing?!” She was about to layabout the hostage situation but instead pointed out a strange ghost that is standing behind him.
“Oh him? No no, It’s okay. Sticky Fingers won’t hurt you.”
Kendo and Toshinori both looked perplexed by the name, but Kendo seems to blush due to the name. But she quickly snapped out of it.
“Wait. Is that your Quirk?”
“Technically yes. I’m a late bloomer and I just got it during the rescue. I called it Phantom. It allows me to access many like this one from past users. And I can use it multiple ones at once.” Sticky Fingers nodded.
It still misses mama Bruno.
Kendo thought it was cool, while Toshinori thought it was similar to his, except when it was not.
“But it does come with side-effects though.” Of course, Yagi thought. Such powers like this can come with a disadvantage. “If I use it for over 5 minutes, I’d develop MPD.”
The teacher-student duo looked confused. MPD?
“Young Midoriya. What do you mean by MPD?”
“Well, If I use the stand that I first sent out for too long, I’ll develop some of the past user’s traits.” As Izuku finished saying that, he noticed Toshinori is sweating a little.
“Sir. Are you hiding something from us?”
‘Crap!’ “Nonsense. What could I possibly hide?” His eyes avert both sides.
Izuku walks up to him, wipes his skinny face, then PROCEED TO LICK HIS FINGERS!
Kendo gagged in disgust, while Toshinori just looked at the boy in complete shock.
“Ewwww!!! Why did you do that!?”
“This sweat… This is the taste of a liar! What are you hiding about One For All?! Why can’t you reveal your secrets to us, huh?!” Izuku glared at the Number 1 Hero with answers and he won’t back down from it.
Toshinori was shocked to see that Izuku find him lying just by licking his sweat! That’s actually amazing. Gross, but amazing.
“Y-Yes. There is something that I haven’t told you about OFA.”
He then explains that OFA was created to defeat All For One.
“So…If I train hard enough, I can access many user’s Quirks as well?” Kendo looked like much knowledge has shoved right inside her brain.
“Yes. Eventually, you can unlock all of it and combine it like combo moves in video games.”
“I…I need to sit down. This is too much information for me.”
“Yeah same here.”
“I don’t blame you two. It was a lot to take in.”
A few minutes of silence when this info bomb was dropped. Kendo is going to have the power that can destroy the one true enemy. After the silent treatment, Kendo spoke up.
“Sensei…” He looks at his new successor. “I know that my body is not ready for OFA yet. But I’ll try my best to be the greatest user you’ll ever see!”
All Might smiled brightly at her while Izuku look at Kendo with admiration.
“Oh. And young Midoriya.” Said boy was looking at him. “I apologize for my behavior back when we first met. It was hypocritical of me to do so. I was Quirkless like you as well.”
“You…You were quirkless?”
“Exactly. But I was blessed by my master’s powers and become the Symbol of Peace myself. And yes my boy. You too can become a Hero with or without a Quirk. You have everything the hero has that most don’t. If my mind was clearer earlier, I would’ve given you OFA.”
“It’s true, Midoriya-san. You deserve it better than I do.” Kendo said.
“All Might… Kendo… Thank you both. I’ll do my best to become my own hero! Phantom Warrior!”
Then All Might saw a lot of images of the past Stand users behind Midoriya. All with unique features and all.
‘Midoriya, my boy. You’ll definitely be the greatest Hero of all. With all behind you, I hope you’ll have a brighter future ahead.’
Phantom: Can access many users' past abilities.
If going on 1V1, the user can use multiple Stands at once.
If use the Stand for over 5 minutes, Izuku will develop MPD the first Stand he releases.
If on a big battlefield, Izuku can separate him and the Stand, allowing them to be independent. And the ghost of the former user will emerge and command the Stand like they used to. It won't hurt the user.
