The Dawn of Darkness

The next morning

*Yawn*

The green haired teen lay on his bed, half awake.

That was the best sleep he'd had in ages!

Beep,beep! Beep,beep!

His obnoxious alarm clock started beeping.

He raised his hand to punch it shut, like he always did, and brought his arm down on the snooze button. Smash!Clank!Spin, spin, spin, Plop!

The confused teen looked towards his clock, only to find it smashed under his hand. He quickly got up.

"What the hell...."he muttered buy was in fo a bigger surprise when he saw himself in the mirror.

"Whoa!" Aside from the fact that he was already ripped, thanks to all those years of hard work, all his bruises and burns, even the scars, had   disappeared.

' That's why I slept so peacefully'

Izuku thought.

But before he could analyse things, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Before he could answer, heck, even put his shirt on, Izumi barged in.

"Oi! Deku, you-" she stopped and blushed. She turned away."Just get dressed!" She shouted before getting out.

"Uhh..." Izuku just stood there."What was that about?"

"Why is there a voice in my head? And why am I talking to myself?"

     "Why- Oh shit!" He exclaimed when he saw the time. He was late! He was yet to cook himself breakfast!

A few moments later

After a rushed shower and a couple of burnt toasts, our green head ran all the way to school. He had pretty much forgotten the events of the morning by now. In fact, he was in such a hurry that he didn't notice his increased speed.

"Izumi!" "Present!"

"Izuku!" *silence* "Izuku?" The teacher called again.

Just as he was about to mark him absent, "Present, sir!" Izuku came rushing through the door.

The whole class turned to the quirkless wonder.

"Mr Yagi, you are expected to be on time, do you understand?" "But sir, I-"

"No buts! Go to your seat."

He hung his head in shame while advancing towards his seat.

"Dumbass" Bakugo whispered as he passed by him. The ones around them snickered.

  So, class went on like normal.

  A couple periods later

"As growing wannabe's, you should choose your career carefully," the teacher announced as he picked up registration forms.

"But what use is it, when we all know you wanna be heroes!" He threw the sheets in the air. The class cheered.

"Yo, Sensei!" Bakugo jumped up on his desk."Don't dump me and my gang with these damn extra's!" He laughed.

"We're gonna get into UA, the top!"

  The class protested, but af the same time pondered at his words. Of course, he was right. They were the top students, after all.

"Oh, wasn't Izuku gonna apply to UA as well?"

'**** you' Izuku thought.

"Pfft! Hahaha!" The class erupted in laughter."You can't get in just by studying!" They cackled.

"There's no rule stating I can't enroll!"

Izuku stut- spoke out loud.'Hey, what happened to my stammer?' he thought.

The class must've also noticed, because a few of them quieted down.

"Deku!" Bakugo yelled, advancing fiercely towards him, but an ice wall abruptly stopped him.

"S-stop!" whimpered .....Shoto?  

                                      Nah, it was Shoko.

Everybody was shocked. 'Why would Shoko stand up for quirkless Deku?'

The said person was no different.

'Well, that's new' he thought.

   "Shoko...?" Bakugo was dumbfounded. But before anything could happen, the teacher broke them apart.

"Bakugo, sit down. Shoko, you're going to the principal's office for using your quirk,"said the teacher. Man, talk about unfairness.

"But I-I" -"No buts!"

    "It's okay, Shoko" Izuku spoke up.      "Thank you,"he smiled a bit.

Shoko's cheeks turned a slight , very slight tint of pink as she moved out the door.

Bakugo glared at Deku as he sat down.

At the end of class

Izuku was just packing his bag as he was preparing to leave. As he was doing so, something tingled I'm his ears. Before he knew it, he sensed the source of danger.

Bam!

He dodged to the side as Bakugo's fist collided with his desk.

"Shoko ain't here to save you now, nerd!"yelled Bakugo as he began throwing punch after punch at our Deku.

As for our hero, he was evading each hit smoothly. His tingle, or sense, predicted every move before it hit. He himself didn't know how he was doing it. He had to think things out, but first, he had to get himself out of this situation.

"Aargh!" Bakugo shouted as he wasn't able to get a hold on Deku.

While he was 'busy' with Deku, he didn't notice the whole class gathering around them.

"C'mon Bakugo! Smash him to a pulp!" The class cheered.

That just fired up his ego more, but his patience was running out.

Finally, unable to remain patient, he lost his cool and made an explosion directly aimed at Deku.

Blast!

Not that big, but not exactly small either.

The class cheered and laughed, as they waited for the smoke to clear up.

Katsuki was sure he'd got him this time, but the result wasn't what the class and him had anticipated. His eyes grew wide in shock.

They expected a beat and burnt up Deku, but there he was, standing in front of Bakugo, holding his wrist so the explosion didn't hit him.

_

Well, if Katsuki wasn't angry before, he was raging mad now. He raised his other hand to hit Izuku, and tried to wrench his wrist free from his grasp.

Tried to.

Unfortunately, for him, Deku wasn't gonna be his punching bag no more.

The class watched in awe as he twisted his arm and pushed him away.

As soon as Izuku made contact, he felt a spark escape his fingers.

The ash blonde got electrocuted and fell to the ground.

"S-Shitty Deku," he grumbled as he got up."What the hell have you been doing?!"

Man, Izuku was just as confused as everybody else. But he felt the tingle again, and jumped to evade Shoto's ice.

' I can't stay here' he thought as he grabbed his bag and ran out.

   " Oi! Come back here!" The gang, excluding Shoko, followed in hot pursuit.

*Pant!*Pant!* Izuku came to a corner in the alley. He'd finally lost them. He rested his hand on the wall.

   "Well, now to go home and get this shit sorted out," he said, moving out.

But something held him back.

  His hand, it wouldn't leave the wall.

"Nngh!" Deku tried for the umpteenth time to 'unstick' his hand. Of course, it was in vain. Our hero was panicking.

'What's happening to me? Do I have any shit left?

"Okay, he sighed. "Let's think this rationally," he said, talking to himself.

  Izuku finally calmed down and started to collect his thoughts. 'My bruises got healed, I have a tingle' and so on.

As he was doing so, his hand unsticked and came down. The teen was surprised, but relieved all the same.

"Whew!" He breathed out as he made his way to the house.

              It was getting dark

At the Yagi household

Toshinori was extremely worried. He was stressed over the fact that Izuku now knew about his secret. The shitty person didn't know, or forcibly ignored that he'd failed as a dad.

          Of course, like his wife, all he cared about was Izumi.

  Izuku rushed to the house."I'm home!" He shouted as he made his way to his room.

     "Hold it right there, young man!" Inko yelled. Izuku came to the living room, confused.

Well, oblivious to him, Izumi had told her parents that he had 'bullied' Bakugo in school.

"You are beyond insolent!" Inko scolded, blabbering on and on about all the false things Izumi had told her.

       " Do you have anything to say for yourself?!" Izuku kept quiet.

    At this point, he was boiling inside.

Izumi not just ruined his life, she wouldn't let him live either.

Then, Inko took the cane they always lashed him with. She hit him

Thwack! Thwack!

Izuku was trying to keep it cool. But when Inko raised the stick for a third time, he lost it.

"ENOUGH!" He shouted. Boom!

An energy blast erupted from him. Inko was thrown aback, shocked. Toshinori, who was at the door, lost his balance and fell. Izumi, hearing the boom, ran down.

Izuku was also surprised, but he was too angry to show it.

"Bastard," he muttered.

"Young man, that's no way to to your moth-" "SHUT UP!" He silenced All Might, who was considering changing into his hero form.

   "SHE'S NOT MY MOTHER! NEITHER ARE ANY OF YOU MY FAMILY!"

There was a dreadful silence.

" Izuku,-" Toshinori started.

" You," Izuku glared at him. "I hate you the most."

"Hearing about your quirk was bad enough. But to think my own father was quirkless! Do you know how much pain I went through? To be quirkless, you know how it is, right?!"

This hit AM hard. Yes! Of course he knew how it was to be quirkless! To be trampled and stamped upon, an outcast.

In fact, it was one of the reasons Nana, his master, chose him as her successor. How could he have forgotten his roots?

Man, Nana would be turning in her grave right now.

"Son, I-I," he was at a loss for words.

"Don't call me that. I'm not your son, never was. My father was Hishashi Midoriya. I am Izuku MIDORIYA.

All of them were struck hard by this.

They started to recall everything. But before they could consult him, Izuku went up to his room.

   He passed by Izumi, who was on the stairs.

"Izuku, I-I,-" "Shut up, bitch," he cut her off and slammed his door shut.
