Chapter 6 - Before destiny
These days things seems to be happening too fast, sometimes things just doesn't even make sense even the little he was used to.
Deku watched everything unfold before him through the reflection of the lake 'He is...strong' even though he knew luminous was controlling his body, just for a little he let his mind dream, seeing himself rather than luminous doing all those things 'I wish I had courage like that' he couldn't help
but admire the landing.
he clenched his fist in hope 'I can. . . I have to be!. . .' yet his mind again and again asked what about him.
Is he alive. . .if so. . .now what. . . hasn't he just destroyed his friend's life, maybe it was a curse...a curse to ruin whoever came close to him, he laughed at himself... his foolishness if only I had given up long ago.
He looked up, the night had arrived, a small moon with Saturn-like rings around it, a galaxy of red and blue swirls behind it, it didn't make sense. . . not that he wanted to he just silently watched the dark sky blinking with the red and blue stars. . . Maybe it was an illusion but it didn't matter, comets flew from time to time adding an illusive beauty to the whole place.
In the middle stood the Towering green thunder crashing from the sky connecting with the silver lake.
'Beautiful. . . I wonder what you think of this place. . . maybe this is a reflection of his soul. . .or life' The time seemed to differ in the two worlds, the things have slowed down for some reason.
'You sure you didn't do this?' Nargaret asked him as everything slowed down in the silver lake, she told him how Jin could slow time an hour here was 10 minutes outside.
"no need to feel bad kid" Deku didn't looked back at the voice, he just kept staring at the stars.
"It was all cloudy and dark. . . until one day it wasn't and we sensed an intruder, this place to be a lot bigger before. . . there were many monsters back then. . . but now this is a haven for us plenty of food and a beautiful night sky. . . all thanks to the intruder" She sat beside Deku as she watched the night sky a hail of comets some blue some gold covering the sky.
Deku looked toward her, light falling on them through them as comets danced around the sky "Miss Nargaret do you think. . .he made the right choice" There was a brief silence as she didn't reply deku looked back at the sky his back hunched as he nervously waited for an answer.
The comets have gone "Things don't have to make sense. . . I don't understand that human much, luminous was his partner. . an old cat once told us that bond between human and monster says a lot" Deku was astonished by the little detail that he gained "Were there other humans besides us?"
"Yep. . .a nasty bunch use to call themselves monster hunter. . . but forget about that"
she looked toward him with a silly smile "You are weaker than him, you can't control the things here like he did. . . and he wasn't a coward. . .But he still chose you, if you can't believe in you then believe in him" they both continued to watch the sky the little narga slept on her shoulder.
'After all he was the partner of Luminous. . . the one before destiny' She looked toward narga and Deku, putting a soft smile on her face 'The baby king and a fledgling human doesn't this all make sense now'
"Tell me what he was like, luminous hardly talks to anyone, crazy bastard maybe this runs in the male side of our family."
Deku didn't know where to start from they have know each other for a long time.
"Our mothers were friends, i think they met during my birth, his mother use to be a nurse before. . . His father left them with a huge debt.'
"Unlike me he was different. . .he didn't care what others said, obviously didn't fear them, he was an anomaly having so many friends even without a quirk."
10 years ago
It was just like any other day. . . The reality had yet to crush my dreams even though I didn't have a quirk, I still believed I can be a hero save people and make villains tremble in fear. . just like All might.
"That's mean Kachan l-look you made h-him cry" Deku shook like a dry leaf as he stood in front of a brown-headed boy, trying to stop bakugo and his two goons.
"I WON'T LET YOU HURT HIM ANYMORE."
There was no adult present in the park, even if they were most hardly cared what the children did.
"YOU PLAYING HERO DEKU!?"
"YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A QUIRK" bakugo and his two goons laughed as he ignited his quirk.
Yet they failed to notice something, 2 mischievous brown eyes staring at them from the tree behind.
"FOUND YOU PISS HEAD!"
"WHO SAID THAT?" bakugo turned back yet he saw no one.
"Boss look!" the bald-winged boy pointed at the tree.
Swish!
Swish!
2 water balloon were launched at them.
SPLASH!
"AHH M-MY EYES IT STINGS!" one landed right on Baldy's eyes.
Seeing the balloon come toward bakugo sneered "DON'T TAKE ME LIKE THESE FOOL"
BOOM!
He blast the balloon blasting its content landed on him.
He tried checking his shirt but to his horror he saw blood, red blood painting his clothes
"WHA-WHAT IS THIS" He screamed and fell back in shock.
The baldy still cried in pain holding his eyes "Hahaha it's salt water baldy"
Thud!
The person jumped from the tree a boy little older than us wearing white shirt, red pants and blue shoes a yellow smiley face on his T-shirt, his hands in his pockets, and his face carrying his evergreen smirk.
"As for your piss hair" he made a sad face "YOU KILLED THE BIRD IN THAT BALLOON"
"Now you will never become hero" he said with a grim face at least for 4 year old it was.
Bakugo stood in shock as he also saw some feathers lying on the ground, his mind numb. . . not from the fact that he killed a bird but that he won't be a hero "Y-YOU ARE LYING!" his eyes watery as for the first time he heard someone say he can't be a hero.
"HA ONCE THEY FIND YOU KILLED A BIRD YOU ARE OVER LITTLE FUCKER" he made slit action on his throat, bakugo's eyes red as he saw the blood over his pants and feathers over ground
He glared at the boy with fury "IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU BASTARD" bakugo rushed toward him his hands ringing in explosion.
"WAIT BOSS!" the long-fingered kid shouted as he inspected the blood on the ground.
Jin smiled amusingly as he saw this from the corner of his eyes he looked toward me and the other kid "Found you" his smirk grew larger as he looked toward, he pulled his hand out of pocket and threw white dust blocking out the view.
"GET OVER HERE!" bakugo screamed as he used his quirk blowing the white dust away.
"FUCK OFF PISS HAIR!"
"I WILL KILL YOU!" Bakugo continued using his quirk, not knowing what he was hitting all he knew he hit something.
The playground was filled with smoke and smell of something burning.
I watched everything unfold before me in horror as I thought kachan had killed the boy, now he really won't be a hero.
The smoke cleared
Only for bakugo to find the half-blasted tree leaves were falling on him but the hateful brat he was looking for.
"BEHIND YOU BOSS!" but it was late, bakugo looked below only to see back sole of the shoes hitting on his head, jerking his head making everything swirl around him.
He rushed toward the long-fingered kid "AYE What kind of quirk is that?" he shouted as he rushed toward the boy frozen in fear "D-DON'T COME NEAR ME"
"HAHAHAH YOUR DIALOG SHOULD BE COMING! FINGER FREAK!" even though hurting others was not good that day I felt great seeing them get beaten.
The boy lay on the ground with a swollen cheek crying silently.
"
YOU BASTARD!" The bald boy lunged at Jin. "FUCK!" shocking him as he failed to dodge his headbutt hitting him straight in his chest and grabbing him trying to take him to skies.
"FUCKING BOILED EGG" Jin quickly holds his neck brings his leg back
THOF
"AHHHHHHHHH"
"Ohhh!" we all grimed as Jin's leg hit him right between his legs.
They fell down with Jin sitting on his back, making him bear all the brunt force.
He walked toward me as I gulped nervously "I-i am not w-with them"
"Haha I know" he smirked and brought his hand toward me I hesitantly shook his hand "Ah man your hands are sweating"
"Hehehe" I smiled nervously as he wiped his hands against his tshirt.
"You are deku right? from the midoriya family" he said with a smirk as he eyed me down.
"Ah y-ya my surname is Midoriya although deku?"
"Oh right sorry" his eyebrows jumped as if he remembered something.
"Well, how about your future name being Deku?" I really didn't understand anything about him beats up Kachan and his friends knows my surname and now giving me a hero name. . .What would he say if he knew I didn't have a quirk?
I looked toward Kachan who sat near the tree holding his head as Toru supported him, his long finger wrapped around his shoulder while he dragged Tsubasa with his other hand.
To defeat all of them. . . he might even have a stronger quirk.
"Oh my name is Jin, from the Asano family your mother friend"
"I-i am izuku me. . . WAIT DID YOU MEAN AUNTY ASANO'S ASANO!" my eyes widened in shock.
"Hm do you any other Asano" I shook my head until things kept spinning, i couldn't believe it.
"A-ar-are you quirkless too?" I asked with a very low voice as maybe Aunty was joking.
"Oh ya I am pretty clean"
"Th-then do you still think. . . people. . .people like us can be hero's" my voice began to go hoarse as my panic attack started to kick in.
"HECK YA! we definitely are and you surely will become the 2nd best if not the best hero after all I AM HERE hhahhah jokes aside we definitely will become hero's" Tears started to fall from my face, tears of joy finally someone. . . someone for the first time had told me we can be hero's.
"But now look at the situation. . ." deku zoned out from his weird state. . . it was like he was reliving those moment for the first time again.
He looked at his left Nargarent nowhere to be found "Ahh?" he looked around a little seeing her standing in the distance looking at the thunder with interest.
Deku walked toward her, seeing if the time had returned to normal "Ahaha i-i am sorry I zoned out a little"
Nargaret looked toward him with her eyes squint "Did something weird happen to you kid?"
"W-what I-I don't think so?" he replied with a confused face.
"Hmm i see, so you don't know" She nodded her head trying to appear intellectual
She points her hand toward the thunder trying to imitate luminous stern face "While you were lost in whatever you were lost the thunder changed, it showed this whole movie of a smug kid beating that piss-haired kid and those two clowns. . . he was also talking to. . . small you" her changed to her usual silly look.
Deku again started muttering all the possibilities of this event "HA! Another movie about to come?" she looked toward the thunder in anticipation yet nothing really showed up so she slapped Deku's head.
"AH i-i am sorry it's an old habit of mine"
"So?" she looks toward him suspiciously "What was that??"
"W-well i am not sure but the highest possible outcome is that it shows my memories. . . When i go into that zone mode"
"So there was something wrong with you right"
"W-well you can say that ha-haha" he forced a smile as she her face came too close to him.
'I am thinking nothing I am thinking nothing'
'GRANAA BROTHA MOVES AGAIN!'
"Hump!" she smirked and left walking toward the lake.
'Phew she can't like a girl even though she is a grandma'
"WHAT DID YOU SAY BRAT!"
"N-NOTHING I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING"
Narga looked at his grandma weirdly but didn't say anything " HUMAN STUPID FAST!"
Leaving them behind he ran up to a tree watching the lake as time seemed to have returned normally.
"Oh by the way what happened after that," she asked deku as they also reached the tree she pulled him by collar and jumped on a branch sitting comfortably while deku looked scared "I-I don't know much but it seemed that their mother complained to his mother. . .he beat them one by one after that until they stopped complaining"
"AHAHAH that little brat, i can imagine him doing something like"
"I'll ask Luminous he might know something about it."
On the other side, in the cement room created by Cementoss few reporters alongside Naomasa Tsukauch the detective.
"Well then let's begin the interview. . . I hope you guys have been prepared. . ." naomasa looked at the reporter as they began to shift in their seats. "Don't worry people I have no reason to harm you, the only reason those clowns got beat up was because they put the host's mother at risk, nothing more than that"
COUGH!
"Well then Mr luminous let's start the interview. . . the world is curious to hear your side"
* Next chapter interview.
