Chapter Text
Izuku Midoriya walked home after a harrowing experience.
Earlier that day, Izuku was told to kill himself by his childhood bully - Katsuki Bakugo - because he didn't have a quirk.
"You know if you want to a hero that badly there might actually be another way... Just pray you'll be born with a quirk in your next life, then take a swan dive off the roof of a building!"
After that, he was attacked by a villain made of sludge, but saved by his lifelong hero - All Might. When he asked All Might if he could be a hero without a quirk, All Might said he couldn't.
"In order to answer your question... No. You can't be a hero without a quirk."
And then when the sludge villain escaped, Bakugo was captured by it. The pro heroes there just stood there and did nothing, and when Izuku saw that Bakugo was the one being held hostage by the sludge villain, he rushed in to save him. All Might then defeated the villain, but the other pros then yelled at Izuku for intervening.
"You moron! I can't believe how reckless you are!"
"Help?! A scrawny kid like you?! All you did was make things worse!"
Izuku was now on his way home from that event. He heard footsteps running up from behind him. He turned around to see who it was but instead received a punch to the face.
He fell to the ground and looked up to see Bakugo standing above him with an angry look on his face.
"Kacchan, what are you doing?!" said Izuku.
"YOU DAMN DEKU! YOU THINK YOU'RE ABOVE ME?!" Bakugo shouted.
"I was literally trying to save you!" Izuku cried.
"I DIDN'T NEED YOUR HELP! I WOULD'VE GOTTEN OUT OF THAT SLUDGE FREAK WITH NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER!" shouted Bakugo.
Bakugo then beat Izuku to a bloody pulp.
"Just die, you useless Deku." Bakugo said before leaving.
As Izuku laid on the ground in a pool of his own blood, he saw a hooded figure approaching him, then he blacked out.
The next day...
Inko Midoriya showed up at the Bakugo residence with a worried look on her face.
"Oh, hi, Inko. What brings you here?" Mitsuki asked.
"Have any of you seen Izuku? He didn't come home yesterday." said Inko.
"No, we haven't. Do you think something's happened to him?" Masaru said.
"I have no idea! I called his school and they said they have no idea where he is! The only person I can think of who might have seen him last is Katsuki since he and Izuku were both involved in the incident with that villain made of sludge yesterday." said Inko worriedly.
Mitsuki, Masaru, and Inko turned their heads to Bakugo, who was sitting on the couch and watching TV.
"Katsuki, do you know where Izuku is?" Masaru asked.
He began sweating.
"Uh... No. I haven't." he lied.
Suddenly, the show playing on the TV changed and it showed a hooded man on the screen, the shadows of the hood covering his face.
"Greetings, Japan." said the man.
We see that the hooded man is being broadcasted all over the entire country of Japan.
"Yesterday afternoon, a young man named Izuku Midoriya took his own life." said the hooded man.
"WHAT?!" Inko cried.
"He was bullied for nearly a decade by someone he once called his friend... that person is named Katsuki Bakugo." the hooded man said.
"WHAT?!" Mitsuki shouted.
"Katsuki, is that true?" Masaru asked his son.
Bakugo didn't say anything. He just knew he was fucked.
"Katsuki Bakugo bullied Izuku because Katsuki had a gigantic ego because of his quirk that allowed him to create explosions, while Izuku was quirkless. The teachers at every school they ever attended never did anything about Katsuki Bakugo's bullying because he had a powerful and flashy quirk. Then yesterday when they were in middle school, Katsuki told Izuku Midoriya to pray that he'll be born with a quirk in his next life... then take a swan dive off the roof of the building." said the hooded man.
"YOU SAID WHAT?!?!" Inko and Mitsuki both shouted at Bakugo.
Bakugo started to feel a huge amount of regret. The guilt felt like a huge punch in the stomach.
"Afterwards, on his way home from school, Izuku Midoriya was attacked by a villain made of sludge. He was nearly suffocated to death, but was saved by All Might. Izuku then asked the Symbol of Peace if he himself could be a hero without a quirk... but All Might said he couldn't. The sludge villain had also managed to escape and it attacked Katsuki Bakugo and took him hostage. The pro heroes who were on the scene were cowards and just stood there while Bakugo was being suffocated. But then Izuku Midoriya rushed in and attacked the sludge villain in an attempt to save his former friend. All Might then arrived and defeated the sludge villain and captured it once again. And what happened that? The other pros yelled at Izuku Midoriya and reprimanded him for interfering, even though he saved Katsuki Bakugo's life while they did nothing to help." the hooded man explained.
'Those heroes yelled at my son while they did nothing?! That's it. I'm suing them.' Inko said in her head.
"Once that ordeal was over, Izuku Midoriya was assaulted by Bakugo on his way home and nearly beaten to death by him." said the hooded man.
Inko, Mitsuki, and Masaru glared angrily at Katsuki, who began crying.
'What have I done?' Katsuki said in his head.
"After that, Izuku couldn't take it anymore... and he took his own life. But before he did, he told us all of this. Who are we, you ask? That is not important. We have broadcast this message throughout the country of Japan so that you all may know the truth. Let this be a lesson to and a reminder to those of you who wish to boast about your quirks and your egos: you are not real heroes. If you hurt and look down on those who have a weaker quirk or have no quirk at all, then you are nothing more than a villain." said the hooded man.
And then the broadcast stopped.
Over the next few days, a lot had happened. All over Japan, the public was outraged by this news. There were demands that Bakugo, Izuku's and Bakugo's schools, and the pros who yelled at Izuku be punished.
Meanwhile, Principal Nezu was already planning to file lawsuits against each of the schools Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo attended for not doing anything about Bakugo's bullying.
Aizawa and the rest of the UA teachers agreed that they would track down whoever was behind the mysterious broadcast and recover Izuku Midoriya's body from them to give the boy a proper burial.
Inko planned to file lawsuits against Izuku's schools and the pros who yelled at her son.
And as for All Might? He was enraged by what Katsuki Bakugo had done to Izuku and blamed himself as well for Izuku's death.
'I should've given Midoriya One For All. He had the heart of a true hero. Now he's dead and it's partly my fault.' All Might said in his head regretfully.
He planned to track down Bakugo and arrest him for assault and illegal quirk usage.
And in one part of Japan, a 14-year-old girl named Ochako Uraraka had just watched the broadcast explaining Izuku's death and was enraged.
'That poor Midoriya boy just wanted to be a hero and that Bakugo asshole nearly killed him for it?! What the fuck is wrong with people?!' Ochako said in her head angrily.
And then, everything around her in her apartment began levitating, but once she calmed down the objects stopped floating. She thought it could have been because of her quirk, but then she realized she would have needed to touch something with all five of the pads on her fingertips. She didn't know what was going on with her.
