Hello everyone. With permission from Lord Wolfe, I present to you: Let's Watch: Apotheosis.
Chapter 0
Izuku Midoriya – known to some as the Hero-in-training Deku – was walking through the halls of UA minding his own business when a flash of light enveloped him. The next thing Izuku knew, he was suspended in midair, before falling and landing with an audible thump. Shaking his head to clear it, Izuku looked around.
He was in chamber of some sort, like ones he had seen in comic books and hero movies. This chamber, unlike the other's he had seen, seemed to be made from clock parts and glass, melded together with a surgeon's precision. Directly in front of him was a large viewing screen.
"Deku?"
Turning his head, Izuku saw that he was not alone. With him where his classmates from Class-1A – all 19 of them. Looking at the brunette who spoke his name, Izuku began to talk.
"Uraraka? Where are we?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out, shitty nerd."
Looking past Uraraka, Izuku saw his former friend, then bully, and now rival and confidant, Katsuki Bakugou glaring at their surroundings. Izuku stood up and opened his mouth -
"Ahh good! You all are here."
Looking up, Class-1A saw a figure descending from above them. The figure was bright blue and wearing a black suit. On the man's forehead, a symbol was carved. The figure was smiling, but not a normal smile. This smile seemed more...amused. Like the figure was watching their lives and laughing at the highs and lows.
"That's a good way to put it."
Izuku started. "Can... can you read my thoughts?"
"Among other things. Now, wait a moment and I'll answer your questions. Just need bring a few more people here."
The room glowed brightly for a second. When the light died down, the students saw several new figures.
"Young Midoriya?"
"Brats..."
"Oh the energetic class!"
"Hmph! Someone better speak up about kidnapping an old man!"
"Well this is different."
"Sensei?"
"Oh, its Izu-kun!"
"...hmmm"
Class-1A started as they took in the familiar figures of their homeroom teacher, the now retired No.1 Hero, an old man in a yellow and white hero suit, the blond-haired member of the Big 3, and...
All for One, Tomura Shigaraki, Dabi, and Himiko Toga.
The Heroes – both in training and pros – and the villains stared at each other for some time before the blue man cleared his throat to get their attention.
"Ahh. Now that everyone is here, let us begin the entertainment."
Aizawa stepped forward, keeping one eye on the villains and one on their capture. "And just who the hell are you? And what do you mean by viewing."
"Hmm. You can call me Jon. That was my name long ago. As for "viewing" ...See Gods and other beings such as myself get bored just watching. So every now and then we'll pluck someone from one of the prime universes of the multiverse and make them entertain us in some manner. You all are here so that I can see your reaction to one of the most...interesting worlds that closely mirrors your own. That clear enough for the dummies in this room."
Shigaraki scoffed before advancing on Jon, flexing his hand. "And why shouldn't I just kill you, then every little hero here."
Jon simply quirked an eyebrow before waiving a hand. The surrounding people screamed, shouted, or in Bakugou's case, cursed loudly as Shigaraki was blown to pieces in a fantastic show of blood and gore, before Jon waived his hand in the opposite direction, restoring Shigaraki to normal.
"That a good enough reason Fuck Hands McGee?"
The villain nodded silently, backing up slowly until he was in line with his compatriots.
"Umm...Mr. Jon."
Jon turned his head to look at Momo Yaoyorozu, the Vice-President of Class-1A. "When you say viewing a world that resembles ours...who in particular will be watching?"
"A good question. To answer that let me do...this!" Jon quickly snapped his fingers and every head, excluding All Might's and Izuku's glowed briefly. Once the glow ceased, the people affected blinked before looking around.
Finally, Shoto Todoroki stepped forward looking at both Izuku and All MIght for a long time before speaking. "So...Izuku you are All Might's successor. You inherited his quirk."
The statement caused all heads to snap towards the former hero and the young student, both of whom paled and looked at Jon who smiled.
"I showed them the day you two met, as well as Broccoli Boy's training up until the day of the exams."
All Might coughed a large amount of blood at that while Izuku began to quiver, refusing to look at his classmates until a hand was placed on his shoulder. Turning, he saw one of his best male friends, Tenya Iida, who looked down at him with a smile. Another hand on his shoulder – Ochaco Uraraka, his best female friend.
"Izuku, no wonder you are such an example as a hero! All Might chose you to be the next Symbol of Peace! What an honor!"
"Deku that's amazing! I already knew you were a hero, but this...this is amazing! I so happy for you."
With those two, the rest of Class-1A began to join in.
"So manly!"
"Dang man that's neat!"
"Congratulations Midori!"
"Yeah! We always knew you would be great!"
"I must agree. You have shown that you'd be a great hero, and this just confirms it!"
"You will be a shining light that penetrates the darkness of this world. Congratulations my friend."
"Monsouir you will be quite dazzling in the future!"
Izuku continued to soak in the admiration of his friends, head spinning. The group quieted down and Izuku looked at Bakugou, who was looking at him, his normal angry expression softened a bit.
"...humph. Guess you'll be a good rival now, Deku."
Smiling with his eyes full of tears Izuku nodded.
(With the Pros + Mirio)
"You absolute moron!" Aizawa said as he softly berated All Might. "You gave an untrained child one of the most powerful quirks in existence, and then sent him into the exams without testing it! How stupid are you!"
All Might opened his mouth before Gran Torino cut him off with words that made the former pro shiver and pale.
"Toshinori, when we are finished here, I will have to give your scrawny ass a lesson in teaching!"
Mirio simply looked at Izuku, who was being mobbed by his classmates. Walking over to them, Mirio tapped his kouhai on the shoulder.
"Midoriya I must say...THAT'S AMAZING!"
Class-1A jumped at their sempai's shout. "NOW THAT YOU HAVE ALL MIGHT'S QUIRK YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE A FORCED TO BE RECKOND WITH! I'LL HAVE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO SIR AS SOON AS WE GET BACK! I KNOW FOR A FACT HE'll LOVE YOU!"
Mirio continued to scream to the class, with both the students and heroes unaware of the third conversation that was taking place.
(With the LOV)
Shigaraki had to resist the urge to scratch his neck in frustration and anger. "That little bastard...He's gonna be the new All Might. I'll kill him!"
"Aww do we have to Shigaraki?" Toga asked, her eyes glued to Izuku, imagining him covered in blood with broken bones.
"Hmph. We should kill him as soon as possible. If he masters All Might's quirk..." Dabi said leaving the rest unfinished. The three villains were cut off from any further plotting by the soft laugh of All for One.
"Sensei?"
"That god has given us the greatest advantage. I knew that the boy had One for All." All for One's mouth spread into a large, mirth filled grin. "But I had no idea...that the boy's past was so sordid with adversity. Tomura, we cannot kill the boy just yet. We must continue to observe him. He could prove to be valuable in the future."
Shigaraki growled while glaring at Midoriya but obeyed.
The three groups began to quiet down, all the while processing the rest of the information that they were presented with. Seeing how All MIght and Izuku met, their training, Izuku's school life...
Silence reigned as the 1A students froze in place, their heads slowly turning to look at Bakugou, who was glaring at the ground, refusing to look at anyone. Kirishima, being the closet both in proximity and as a friend, approached first.
"Bakugou...what you said..."
"It was real."
The confirmation sent a chilling wave through the students, with Izuku being the exception, before it struck him like lightening.
'If you want a quirk so bad why don't you just take a swan dive off a roof.'
Everyone – from Aizawa to the faceless All for One – looked at Bakugou, who was trembling. Finally, it was Kirishima, again, who spoke up.
"Why?"
For what seemed like a while Bakugou remained silent, gritting his teeth with an angered expression on his face.
"I don't know."
Silence reigned once more, until someone broke it.
"You... you asshole!"
Quick as a flash, Uraraka speed over to Bakugou and punched him. The explosive user reeled back, hand clutching his face.
"You treated him like shit! And for what! What the hell did he do to you that was so bad! Was it because he had a dream! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT!"
Uraraka went for another punch, before an arm grabbed her hand and stopped her. Turning the gravity girl opened her mouth to yell at whoever was stopping her only to freeze. Midoriya had stepped in and grabbed her arm and was looking at her with desperate eyes.
"Uraraka please stop. It's fine."
Uraraka wrenched her arm free and turned to fully face her best friend and secret crush. "How is it ok Deku? How? We already knew that Bakugou was a jackass, but this...and he's been doing this your entire childhood. How can you be ok with this?"
"Because I got over it."
That simply answer caused all of Class-1A to look at the green haired power house. "It wasn't easy...but honestly being around all of you, working constantly on One for All, fighting villains...all that I've been through of has helped me put the past behind me. I don't care about what happened back then and I won't get absorbed in the past. I won't clutch onto something that holds no barring onto me anymore. I'm going to be a hero, and so I need to let go of the negative feelings like that. Besides I don't think he meant it. The suicide part at least."
Everyone stared, again, at Midoriya and the amazing display of selflessness that he displayed. Some – Mirio and All Might chief amongst them – smiled at the signs of a true hero. Others were impressed at the resolve which Midoriya showed once, as he had in the past, the resolve which drove all of them to higher and better heights. Bakugou gritted his teeth and looked away. Toga was staring at him, once more, with hearts in eyes, while Dabi stared critically at the green haired boy. Shigaraki was glaring through his father's hand, while All for One turned his head and smiled at the hero-in-training.
Clearing his throat, Jon acquired the everyone's attention. "While this is all very heartwarming, I would like to draw your attention to...this!"
Waiving his hand, a large screen with an old-fashioned movie projector appeared. "As I said before, I'm bored as my usual show of attention is falling behind. So, I brought all of you here to watch another world." Smiling at all the shocked looks on the faces of the gathered mortals Jon continued. "Now, as all of you have seen the memories of Midoriya you know that he accepted One for All after saving Bakugou from the Sludge Villain. However, in this world he didn't even go near the Sludge Villain incident, instead he walked past it and left for home in a fit of anger directed at All Might and heroes in general."
The heroes present looked shocked, with All Might in particular looking heartbroken, while All for One began to grin like a madman.
Waiving his hand again, theatre seats appeared in front of the screen. "Now if you could all take your seats, we shall begin."
CUT! Yea just a prologue chapter. I'll get the next one out when I can.
