Hello, and welcome to another experimental My Hero Academia fanfic. Once again a new inspiration struck my head during the post-summer season, and while working on my other fanfictions, I happened to scroll some clips on YouTube, and saw a brief portion about Thor: Ragnarok, where it featured the Hulk. This in turn caused my head to work on a random whim and began to do some research, and this led to coming up with a new fic.

This started after researching on Wikipedia, and in the process, I discovered the VERY FIRST TV series that aired way back in 1978. I began downloading the episodes of that series and watched it at home, where I get to see the two stars, Lou Ferrigno and the late Bill Bixby. Although its TV adaptation is loose due to at that time being aired in the 80's which the writer and director wanting to give audience something take seriously without boring them using the same concept from its comic book counterpart, I find it quite okay and appreciate it a lot.

Bixby's performance as Banner was good, and there my mind started working as it gave me an idea and decided to adapt the Hulk TV series and turn it into a fanfic, and then it struck my mind and decided to have it set in the My Hero Academia universe. Midoriya came to my mind since both he and Bixby's character are somewhat relatable, and the rest is history.

This fic is semi-AU and will only partially reflect the canon version of the MHA universe. This means that while UA Academy would be mentioned, Midoriya won't be enrolling there…

And while some pro heroes from MHA are slated to appear…they are going to have a slightly different role…

You'll soon find out why…

Well then, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 1: Higeki-tekina jōkyō e no jokyoku

Japan.

The country that is located within South East Asia, quite near different Asian countries such as China, Taiwan and the Philippines, is seen and that country is ruled by the Diet, and are handled by the Emperor and the Prime Minister. After their defeat at World War II, the country began to change for the better, and for several decades Japan vastly improved, mostly in the technological department yet their culture and values remained the same, as most Japanese citizens remained hospitable to visitors, residents and tourists alike.

The scene then zoomed further and you can see that the scene shows that the place being shown is Tokyo, which is bustling with people who are walking the busy streets, some riding vehicles, and others riding on bicycles. There are several types of people seen on the streets; adults, children, and even infants being carried by their parents. Businessmen, businesswomen, students, policemen, all kinds of persons are seen, and they were doing their usual activities as if they do not mind it.

Shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.

"Hey!"

"Nice day, isn't it?"

"Today is a good day..."

"I love my job..."

"Life is so good..."

"I wish I have a good day..."

"Lots of money..."

"Lots of girls...".

-x-

The following days, the scene shows that life in Tokyo us business as usual, and it was definitely a peaceful day, where pedestrians are crossing the streets and walking by the sidewalks, many are hanging out at certain places, some went on a date and others are meeting up in front of malls, and some gathered at snack bars and you can see lots of people socializing with one another.

It shows how typical the day is here as everybody is relishing their moments and do not seem to have a care of what would come tomorrow as they all enjoy about what comes today.

"Hey there..."

"Today's a good day..."

"Ah...life is so good..."

"Let's have lunch...?"

"Will you be my girlfriend...?"

"Let's get married..."

"Stop right there!"

"EEEP! COPS!"

The scene later shifts to a residential area somewhere in Tokyo, and there you can see that it is a subdivision where a group of houses are there, which appeared to be ordinary, as it is not posh or extravagant, simply a simple area where the residents there are living normally yet happily, and the subdivision is not quite big, yet it can be improved if the area is under construction where the land developers can put up a huge high-rise residential area such as condominiums and hotels that can cater the rich and financially powerful.

But for now, the said area is occupied by ordinary residents living there.

The scene shifts at an apartment, where a five-year old boy, sporting green, curly hair and having a freckled face, is watching a live footage on his computer, where several pro heroes are seen doing heroic deeds like stopping crime and saving people. The little boy is so fixated that he aspires to become a hero himself when he grows up.

The boy is identified as Izuku Midoriya, and he appeared to be an avid fan of the number one pro hero All-Might. As the little boy is watching in awe and admiration, his mother, Inko, smiled as she felt that her son has found inspiration, and there the little boy told his mom that he wants to become a hero like All-Might, which his mom smiled and said he would one day become one.

"Mom! Look!"

"Yes?"

"All-Might is amazing, right?"

"Yes, Izuku."

"Can I become like him?"

"I'm sure you would."

"I'm going to become a hero when I grow up!"

"Yes, Izuku."

However, as fate would make itself apparent, the Midoriya family learned from a doctor that Izuku is Quirkless, and told Inko that they should just give it up, and accept the fact that Izuku is just an ordinary boy and can never become a pro hero, which Inko was in disbelief, asking the doctor how is this possible as she and her husband possess Quirks.

However, the doctor said that Izuku is one of the rare cases where he is born Quirkless and tells her that Izuku should just become an ordinary citizen, attend an ordinary school and live an ordinary life, and tells her that this is how life is, nothing more.

At their apartment, Inko went to her son's room to check on him and saw that Izuku is facing the computer watching All Might's exploits, but saw that her son is heart-broken at the fact that he is Quirkless, as he feels that his dreams will never be achieved and Inko consoled her son, seeing that he is depressed at this and apologized to her son, though all he could do is cry silently at this as he is forced to face the harsh truth and reality.

"M-mom…"

"Izuku…?"

"C-can…I…still be…a hero…?"

"Izuku…"

"…"

"Oh, Izuku! I'm sorry!"

"…"

"I'm sorry!"

-x-

In the years that passed, Midoriya's status as a Quirkless became known to his neighborhood, and neighborhood bullies uses their Quirk to torment him, mentally, and physically, to the point of badly injuring him, and as a battered and bleeding Midoriya lay on the ground, the bullies are ready to inflict more harm on the hapless boy, seeing that he could not fight back due to lacking a Quirk.

"Hah!"

"Look at that!"

"He really is Quirkless!"

"He couldn't even retaliate!"

"You're a loser!"

"You should commit suicide!"

"Yeah, you're a failure!"

"A trash!"

This made Izuku's childhood life unmemorable and Inko tried hard to make her son realize that all is not lost and that she is sure that something good is bound to happen and that a bright tomorrow awaits him and he shouldn't give up on life.

Inko's love for her son proved to be the factor that made Izuku hold on and persevere the challenges that came and he fought the misfortunes that tried to pull him down, and so far he is able to move past the fact that he is born Quirkless.

In the years that passed, Midoriya attended school, and still he is depressed that he did not have a Quirk, as many of his peers are displaying theirs, and even bragged in going to one of Tokyo's prestigious high schools where they teach heroes-in-training so that when graduated, they can get jobs as pro heroes, and even bragged that they will become famous.

"I'm going to this…"

"Me I'm going to that…"

"Once I graduate I'm gonna be a famous hero!"

"I'll be a popular one."

"I'm gonna be a hero that will attract fangirls!"

"Me too!"

"Glad we got Quirks!"

"Yeah!"

Izuku remained silent as he just stared at his notebook while doing his homework and ignored his classmates as they kept on bragging that once they graduate middle school they would try enrolling at several high schools where they teach freshmen on how to make use of their Quirks and how to become a pro hero, mentioning that they want to emulate popular pro heroes that they saw on the news and on other media.

The students felt that they are entitled due to having Quirks and this made them cocky and arrogant and as they glanced at the silent Izuku, they began to pick on him as they asked what career would he take once he starts high school, which they taunted him by saying that he would become a NEET, or worse, a garbage collector or even a janitor.

"Hah! You suck!"

"You're Quirkless! So you should work at the dumpsite!"

"Or maybe you should work at the park picking up garbage!"

"Yeah! You're a nobody!"

"No Quirk means you're useless to society!"

"So why bother go to school when you should be living at the streets?"

"Quirkess idiot!"

"There is no way you can become a pro hero!"

Izuku just ignored them as he continued to do his homework, not wanting to pick a fight with his arrogant classmates, but then they began using their Quirks and physically humiliated Izuku, almost to the point of injuring him, and the arrogant classmates began kicking him around, taunting him that he is nothing because he is Quirkless.

The other classmates were quite scared to intervene as they had weaker Quirks and opted to turn a blind eye and ignore what is happening, which they told the others to forget what they saw, worried that the bullies might vent their ire on them.

"Its okay…"

"Just ignore them…"

"Then they'll ignore you…"

"That's right…"

"It has nothing to do with us…"

"So it's better to leave them be…"

"Yeah…"

"Just don't mind them…"

A teacher came and told the bullies to go back to their seats, and then told Izuku to get up and take his seat, not bothering to check on the boy despite sporting obvious bruises on his face, showing how incompetent the teacher is, and after several hours, classes ended and Izuku went to the school clinic and the nurse is quite incensed upon learning what happened, and she promised that she will tell the principal about what Izuku told her just now.

As Izuku left the clinic he is about to head for the gate when the bullies began to physically harass the hapless boy again and began using their Quirks, which they reinjured the bruises on his face and body, and there they told him that he is better off dead because everything in this world is Quirk-based, and since Izuku is Quirkless, he has no future for him.

"Haha! You really suck! Big time"

"You're Quirkless! So you should just quit school and be a prostitute!"

"Or maybe you should go to the dumpsite and start picking up garbage for food!"

"Yeah! You're a nobody! Just a dog scavenging!"

"No Quirk means you're useless to society! And that's a fact!"

"So why bother go to school when you should be living at the streets? You are just an excess baggage! So get lost!"

"Quirkess idiot!"

"There is no way you can become a pro hero! You should be a criminal!"

A guard showed up and verbally chases the bullies away, but he ignored Izuku's plight and nonchalantly told him to go home and cry to his mother, saying that there is no place for crybabies in this school, as he went back to his post. A group of adults who happened to be visiting the school saw this and are pissed about what happened and the guard's insensitivity, and they helped Izuku up, asking if he is okay and said that they are willing to help him by complaining to the principal about what they saw.

Izuku was silently sobbing as this situation is almost constant, and as he gets up, he began to clutch his head in pain, as something happened to him as the headache is somewhat unbearably painful as if he felt that his brain is about to split apart, and he knelt down while clutching his head while in pain, which alarmed the persons who are trying to help him.

"H-hey…"

"Are you okay…?"

"Is there something wrong, kid?"

"…"

"I think the beating this kid got must be too much…"

"It looks different…look how he is clutching his head…"

"Hang in there, kid!"

"…"

Concerned, two of the visitors hailed a taxi to help bring Izuku to the nearest hospital while the other took Izuku's cellphone and after scrolling through the directory, contacted Inko and informed her of what is happening to her son, and several minutes later, the scene shifts at the hospital where Inko arrived, and there the kind strangers are there, and after confirming Inko's identity they gave her Izuku's cellphone and explained to her the events that took place before bringing Izuku to this hospital.

Inko became concerned and wondered how this happened and why none of the school officials are doing anything to help her son. She became more concerned after hearing about her son clutching his head and asked them where her son is, and they said that doctors and nurses are checking on him at the moment.

To Be Continued…

Hope you liked this chapter, as it partially mirrors the beginning from the manga, but diverges a bit by omitting Bakugo, since this fic is semi-AU…

Izuku clutching his head in pain…this somewhat foreshadowing something, which will be further elaborated in the upcoming chapters…

Preview:

The Midoriya family gets a shocker once they got the results on what is happening to Izuku…and how this would affect him and his future…

But then a Good Samaritan would offer something to Izuku…

See you Christmas Day… 

Update to this fic will depend on whether reviews would come in…otherwise it would be delayed…

Many thanks to the readers who read and reviewed last chapter, and I am happy with this, which inspired me to bring in the next chapter, where Makoto learned of what caused his fainting, and this would surely devastate him, but then he would get a GLIMMER OF HOPE, which will be shown later…

Well then, read on and enjoy!

Tokyo General Hospital.

The scene shifts at the hospital lobby, where Inko is seen worried after meeting the strangers who brought Izuku here and is incensed after hearing from the concerned strangers about what happened to her son and that none of the teachers or guards have done anything to stop the bullying, and she vowed to complain to the teachers at Aldera Middle School about what the students did to Izuku, and will see to it that her son would get the justice she deserved.

Right now all she can think of is her son and there she saw a doctor and a few nurses are carrying the boy on a stretcher as he is being taken to the x-ray room and this made Inko worried thinking that her son suffered massive head injuries, but the strangers assured to her that Izuku will be okay.

"Don't worry, ma'am…"

"Your son will be okay…"

"We're sure of it…"

"Please stay strong."

"I'm pretty sure it's just a mild bruise…"

"I promise your son will be fine…"

"Yeah."

"So don't panic…"

Izuku Midoriya - an normal teenage boy living with an ordinary family…living in an ordinary neighborhood and leads an ordinary life...but he is born Quirkless, and slowly lives a rather lonely life. However, his ordinary life was shattered upon discovering that he has stage 4 cancer of the brain, and was given less than half a year to live…

Given by an offer from a good Samaritan... Izuku took the chance and underwent a secret chemotherapy session in an effort to eradicate the cancer within him. Then, without the good Samaritan's knowledge, he made a secret chemotherapy session in secret, and an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.

And now, when Izuku Midoriya grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs…

The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter

The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. Izuku Midoriya is believed to be dead. And he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him…

C h. 2 : Miwaku-tekina  ofā

In a matter of minutes, the next scene shows that Izuku is being carried towards the emergency room via a wheeled stretcher after assessing that a thorough check is needed, and after the good Samaritans left, Inko is left alone, worried for her son as she hoped that nothing bad happened to him after being told of what happened earlier at school.

At this point her husband, Hisashi, arrived after getting word of what happened to Izuku via Inko's text message, and there she hugged him as the two saw the medics are taking Makoto to the emergency room to have him evaluated and find out and to see if there are any factors involved, and once the two walked towards the emergency room one of the medics told Mr. and Mrs. Midoriya to wait outside. Once Izuku was taken inside, Inko is filled with worry, but her husband assured to her that their son will be okay.

"Honey...it's okay..."

"Our son...dear, our son..."

"Izuku will be fine."

"But...but..."

"Let the doctors do their jobs...they'll see to it that our son will be okay."

"Izuku...will Izuku be...?"

"Do not worry."

"Dear..."

Inko could only sob as she and her husband had no choice but to await the results from the doctor, and there Hisashi asked Inko what happened, and there she is forced to tell her how some good Samaritans witnessed what Izuku went through.

-FLASHBACK-

As Izuku left the clinic he is about to head for the gate when the bullies began to physically harass the hapless boy again and began using their Quirks, which they reinjured the bruises on his face and body, and there they told him that he is better off dead because everything in this world is Quirk-based, and since Izuku is Quirkless, he has no future for him.

"Haha! You really suck! Big time"

"You're Quirkless! So you should just quit school and be a prostitute!"

"Or maybe you should go to the dumpsite and start picking up garbage for food!"

"Yeah! You're a nobody! Just a dog scavenging!"

"No Quirk means you're useless to society! And that's a fact!"

"So why bother go to school when you should be living at the streets? You are just an excess baggage! So get lost!"

"Quirkess idiot!"

"There is no way you can become a pro hero! You should be a criminal!"

A guard showed up and verbally chases the bullies away, but he ignored Izuku's plight and nonchalantly told him to go home and cry to his mother, saying that there is no place for crybabies in this school, as he went back to his post. A group of adults who happened to be visiting the school saw this and are pissed about what happened and the guard's insensitivity, and they helped Izuku up, asking if he is okay and said that they are willing to help him by complaining to the principal about what they saw.

Izuku was silently sobbing as this situation is almost constant, and as he gets up, he began to clutch his head in pain, as something happened to him as the headache is somewhat unbearably painful as if he felt that his brain is about to split apart, and he knelt down while clutching his head while in pain, which alarmed the persons who are trying to help him.

"H-hey…"

"Are you okay…?"

"Is there something wrong, kid?"

"…"

"I think the beating this kid got must be too much…"

"It looks different…look how he is clutching his head…"

"Hang in there, kid!"

"…"

Concerned, two of the visitors hailed a taxi to help bring Izuku to the nearest hospital while the other took Izuku's cellphone and after scrolling through the directory, contacted Inko and informed her of what is happening to her son, and several minutes later, the scene shifts at the hospital where Inko arrived, and there the kind strangers are there, and after confirming Inko's identity they gave her Izuku's cellphone and explained to her the events that took place before bringing Izuku to this hospital.

Inko became concerned and wondered how this happened and why none of the school officials are doing anything to help her son. She became more concerned after hearing about her son clutching his head and asked them where her son is, and they said that doctors and nurses are checking on him at the moment.

-END FLASHBACK-

As Hisashi and Inko waited, the scene shifts inside the emergency room, where the doctors did everything they could, and managed to stabilize him, and there one of the doctors recommended to have Makoto under go MRI and other procedures to find out the cause of the boy's so-called headaches, just to be sure if this is an ordinary headache.

The Midoriya parents saw their son being taken out from the emergency room, and there the doctor told the parents to wait a little longer as Izuku will undergo MRI to see what caused the fainting, which Inko protested as if she is under the impression that her only child have a disease or something, but her husband urged her to calm down and let the doctors do their job, which made her a bit hysterical as she refuse to believe that something is causing this to their son.

"Honey...it's okay...let them do their job..."

"Our son...dear, our son...are they saying that Izuku has...?"

"Izuku will be fine."

"But...but...no! I refuse to believe Izuku has a...!"

"Let the doctors do their jobs...they'll see to ut that Izuku will be okay."

"Izuku...I swear...our son is very healthy!"

"Do not worry."

"Dear..."

As Izuku is being wheeled away, Hisashi hugged his wife and assured to her that everything will be okay, and said that they must put their trust in the doctors as he knows that is best in treating Izuku, and she reluctantly simmer down as she realized that there is nothing she can do except wait for the news, and prayed that her son would be okay.

-x-

Three days later, Izuku woke up on his hospital room where he somewhat recovered and his mom is glad to see that he appeared to be okay, just as his dad arrived and saw that their son looked quite better. Izuku then apologized for making them worry, but his parents assured to him that everything will be okay and he would go home in a clean slate of health.

"Don't worry, son."

"You'll be okay."

"Once the results come...we're sure that it will be okay."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Trust us, son."

"..."

"It's fine, Izuku."

By then the radiologist came, along with a neurosurgeon, and the two men appeared to be serious as they anticipated that this would be a long and serious discussion, and as the parents await the news, Izuku noted the serious looks in the two men's eyes, and he had a feeling that something is not going to be good, and he braces himself for anything. He also hoped that this would be a temporary thing and not affect his health.

As the radiologist showed the Midoriya parents the printout, both Hisashi and Inko asked the doctor what the results are, and the neurosurgeon sadly told the parents that Izuku's headaches was a delayed symptom, and after conducting MRI, he discovered that Izuku has a Stage 3 Brain Cancer, and is just days away from reaching stage 4.

The Midoriya parents stood still and frozen in shock upon hearing this, and the doctor apologize for saying this as there is no other way to explain this and it is the only way to tell them the results, and Inko went into an emotional fit as her husband tries to calm his devastated wife.

"Honey...calm down..."

"Calm down?! How can I calm down?! Our son...our son..."

"Izuku will be fine..."

"Fine? How can he? He has cancer! Stage 3 cancer! And now he is nearing stage 4?!"

"Let the doctors do their jobs...they'll see to it that Izuku will be okay."

"Stop lying! I won't accept this!"

"Honey...please...calm down... Izuku?"

"Huh? What...?""

The Midoriya parents turn around and saw the shocked look at their son, as Izuku remained still, and is in a state of disbelief upon hearing this, and he could not believe what he is hearing...he is nearing stage 4 cancer...which is on the brain. As tears fell from his eyes...he asked the doctor if he is serious about what he just said, and the doctor calmly, but sadly, confirm it.

"Doctor..."

"Yes...?"

"Is it..."

"Izuku...please calm down..."

"Tell me...just tell me!"

"Yes...what you heard just now...is true."

"No...no!"

"I'm sorry."

The Midoriya parents comforted their son as the doctor offered counseling for the family, as he knew this is a very difficult time for them.

-x-

An hour later, Izuku is sitting at a bench somewhere within the hospital, where he sneaked off as he wanted to be alone. He is still trying to come to terms about his impending death as there is no way of escaping this. And with the financial situation his family is facing, he knew getting chemotherapy sessions are out of the question.

As he is contemplating about committing suicide, he is approached by someone, a teenage girl. The girl is a a shapely and attractive pale-skinned young woman of slightly above average height with quite a round face. She has wavy blonde hair which reaches halfway down her back, two shorter pieces she leaves over her shoulders, side-swept bangs that frames her face, aqua-blue eyes with notable upper eyelashes, some slightly longer ones extending on each side and pronounced lower eyelashes.

She normally wears a white short-sleeved dress shirt with plaid cuffs, a large bow of the same design at her neck, and a dark raspberry pink waistcoat. Accompanying these are pale gray Capri pants, under which are a pair of plaid pink socks as well as a pair of heeled brown boots. She also wears a wristwatch and pink, oval-framed glasses.

The girl approached him and asks if he wants to be cured of his brain cancer which surprised him and asks her how she found out about it. She said that she overheard it an hour ago and said she is sympathetic and is willing to help him to get cured.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"But...how will you..."

"I have a lot of equipment..."

"But..."

"It's okay, you don't need to worry about anything."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

The person introduces herself as Melissa Shield, and she told him that she happened to be a prodigy in physics and radiology, and she said that she happened to have a secret laboratory where she just secretly bought an equipment where she intend to test it, and said that after hearing his situation, she felt that this is her chance to put her talents to good use and offered to help Izuku in using her equipment to eradicate the cancer cells within his brain.

This somewhat entices Izuku as he sees this as an opportunity to get cured, but asks if there is any advance payment or anything of the sorts, but she told him that she is willing to do it for free, which gave the teen boy a glimmer of hope.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure? You might..."

"Don't worry. It will be free of charge."

"I...I don't know what to..."

"It's okay."

"Thanks..."

"Don't worry about it..."

As the two are discussing, they did not notice that someone overheard them, and is piqued by curiosity that Melissa intend to test her untested equipment on a cancer patient, and the person appeared to tall, slender man with black, wavy hair that hangs on one side of his face and short sideburns on both sides. His face is angular with high cheekbones that the girls of 1-A call handsome. He wears thin-framed glasses with large, circular lenses, contrasting with his thin, grayish-blue eyes with mismatched pupils, one white and one black.

He sports a beige blazer over an untucked black dress shirt and dark slacks. He also has a black camera that hangs around his neck when he's reporting. He is identified as Taneo Tokuda, a freelance journalist working for Juzo News, a magazine publisher.

Tokuda happened to pass by and overheard the conversation, which he sensed that something is amiss and intend to follow them to see what Melissa intend to do whether she is going to use Izuku as a guinea pig or not. It turns out that his career is fluctuating and needed an article to report in order to become a relevant journalist and reporter again, and sees that his discovery might help improve his standing at Juzo News.

Hello, and many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story advances as Izuku Midoriya pushes through with the secret experiment to try get rid of his brain cancer and see if it succeeds or if this would cause additional problem for him…

Well, read on and enjoy!

A week before...

The scene shows that after a few days of confinement and medical checkup, the doctors told the Midoriya family that Izuku is now discharged yet they sadly said that there's not much they can do except for chemotherapy yet the Midoriya parents are financially restrained as they couldn't afford it, and Izuku silently resigned to date as he knew that he would die within the year.

As the Midoriya family left, some nurses feel bad for Izuku, as aside from finding out that he is Quirkless and has been discriminated, he got cancer and would die young as he has yet to attend high school.

"Man...I feel bad for that kid..."

"He's so young...and yet he..."

"Getting brain cancer at 14...

"Aside from being born Quirkless and getting discriminated...he got this..."

"And now his parents are scrambling to get money for chemotherapy..."

"But that boy is nearing stage four...can chemotherapy be able to...?"

"Hard to say..."

"Poor kid..."

By then the hospital director showed up and told the nurses to stop gossiping and resume working, which the nurses nodded in acknowledgement, as they scrambled to get to work.

"Yes sir!"

"Yes sir!"

"Yes sir!"

"Yes sir!"

"Yes sir!"

"Yes sir!"

"Yes sir!"

"Yes sir!"

Izuku Midoriya - an normal teenage boy living with an ordinary family…living in an ordinary neighborhood and leads an ordinary life...but he is born Quirkless, and slowly lives a rather lonely life. However, his ordinary life was shattered upon discovering that he has stage 4 cancer of the brain, and was given less than half a year to live…

Ch. 3: Jikken ga Hajimarimasu

A week has passed since the Midoriya family has left Tokyo General Hospital, and things seemed to be business as usual, as the Midoriya family are doing their usual thing, and Inko seemed to be unaware of what her son is thinking at the moment, as Izuku is acting as his usual self, and his mom asks him if he is okay, which he smiled and assured to her that he is really okay.

"Izuku…?"

"Yes, mom...?"

"Are you okay now?"

"Uh…yes…I'm okay."

"Really…?"

"Yes, really…sorry if I made you worried."

"It's okay. As long as you are doing fine…"

"Don't worry."

But underneath his smile and assurance, Izuku is still despondent, as the doctors told him that there is no cure for brain cancer and that chemotherapy is unlikely to help, and all the doctor can say is that they will have to wait till Izuku dies.

While this caused Izuku's parents to mentally grieve, Izuku himself somewhat found a ray of hope as he recalled that he met someone who says that she is willing to help him try to eliminate the cancer cells on his brain for free

- - - FLASHBACK - - -

A week ago…

The scene shifts at Tokyo General Hospital, where Izuku and his parents are waiting inside the doctor's office, where the radiologist came, along with a neurosurgeon, and the two men appeared to be serious as they anticipated that this would be a long and serious discussion, and as the parents await the news, Izuku noted the serious looks in the two men's eyes, and he had a feeling that something is not going to be good, and he braces himself for anything. He also hoped that this would be a temporary thong and not affect his health.

As the radiologist showed the Naegj parents the printout, Mr. and Mrs. Midoriya asked the doctor what the results are, and the neurosurgeon sadly told the parents that Izuku's fainting was a delayed symptom, and after conducting MRI, he discovered that Izuku has a Stage 3 Brain Cancer, and is just days away from reaching stage 4.

The Midoriya parents stood still and frozen in shock upon hearing this, and the doctor apologize for saying this as there is no other way to explain this and it is the only way to tell them the results, and Inko went into an emotional fit as her husband tries to calm his devastated wife.

"Honey...calm down..."

"Calm down?! How can I calm down?! Our son...our son..."

"Our son will be fine..."

"Fine? How can he? He has cancer! Stage 3 cancer! And now he is nearing stage 4?!"

"Let the doctors do their jobs...they'll see to it that Makoto will be okay."

"Stop lying! I won't accept this!"

"Honey...please...calm down... Izuku?"

"Huh? What...?""

The Midoriya parents turn around and saw the shocked look at their son, as Izuku remained still, and is in a state of disbelief upon hearing this, and he could not believe what he is hearing...he is nearing stage 4 cancer...which is on the brain. As tears fell from his eyes...he asked the doctor if he is serious about what he just said, and the doctor calmly, but sadly, confirm it.

"Mom…dad…"

"Izuku…"

"Son…"

"is…is it…true…?"

"…"

"Izuku dear…"

"It's…well…"

"…"

The Midoriya parents comforted their son as the doctor offered counseling for the family, as he knew this is a very difficult time for them.

-x-

An hour later, Izuku is sitting at a bench somewhere within the hospital, where he sneaked off as he wanted to be alone. He is still trying to come to terms about his impending death as there is no way of escaping this. And with the financial situation his family is facing, he knew getting chemotherapy sessions are out of the question.

As he is contemplating about committing suicide, he is approached by someone, a teenage girl.

The girl is a a shapely and attractive pale-skinned young woman of slightly above average height with quite a round face. She has wavy blonde hair which reaches halfway down her back, two shorter pieces she leaves over her shoulders, side-swept bangs that frames her face, aqua-blue eyes with notable upper eyelashes, some slightly longer ones extending on each side and pronounced lower eyelashes.

She normally wears a white short-sleeved dress shirt with plaid cuffs, a large bow of the same design at her neck, and a dark raspberry pink waistcoat. Accompanying these are pale gray Capri pants, under which are a pair of plaid pink socks as well as a pair of heeled brown boots. She also wears a wristwatch and pink, oval-framed glasses.

The girl approached him and asks if he wants to be cured of his brain cancer which surprised him and asks her how she found out about it. She said that she overheard it an hour ago and said she is sympathetic and is willing to help him to get cured.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"But...how will you..."

"I have a lot of equipment..."

"But..."

"It's okay, you don't need to worry about anything."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

The person introduces herself as Melissa Shield, and she told him that she happened to be a prodigy in physics and radiology, and she said that she happened to have a secret laboratory where she just secretly bought an equipment where she intend to test it, and said that after hearing his situation, she felt that this is her chance to put her talents to good use and offered to help Izuku in using her equipment to eradicate the cancer cells within his brain.

This somewhat entices Izuku as he sees this as an opportunity to get cured, but asks if there is any advance payment or anything of the sorts, but she told him that she is willing to do it for free, which gave the teen boy a glimmer of hope.

"Eh…? You mean…?"

"Yes."

"For free?"

"Of course. You do not have to pay."

"I…I don't know what to…"

"It's fine…you need not worry."

"Thanks…"

"It is nothing…"

- - - END FLASHBACK - - -

Izuku is now thinking of a way to go to Melissa's secret lab without alerting his parents, as he is sure that they are against it as they do not believe in such things and he would have to come up with an alibi just to keep them from worrying.

By then Inko called her son saying that lunch is ready, and as Izuku went to the dining room to have lunch, and while having lunch, his dad, Hisashi said that he would try making a loan sonas to get some funds to help on covering the expenses for the planned chemotherapy.

Inko is worried as she felt that the chemotherapy might not be enough, though Hisashi said that he would rather take a chance than just watch their son suffer and die slowly, though Izuku told them that he wouldn't mind waiting, which the Midoriya parents sighed in relief and hugged their son.

As the family bond, Izuku is determined to meet up with Melissa and see if her equipment would really work or not, as he believed that this may be his only way to be cured of his brain cancer.

-x-

In the weeks that passed, life goes on and as Hisashi is working hard to earn money to gather the needed amount to cover the chemotherapy sessions, Inko is getting emotional support from friends and neighbors in regards to Izuku's situation, but a week later, something unexpected took place as one day, Izuku left a letter as he secretly leaves the house to head somewhere between the border of Kyoto and Kobe, where Melissa is staying.

The letter states that Izuku is meeting someone who might hold the key in eliminating his cancer, and asked his parents for understanding and requested that their relatives be kept in the dark about this. Of course his parents were worried and his Inko wanted to call the police and have Izuku be brought back, however Hisashi advised her against it as their son wanted this so as to not burden them.

"Honey…calm down…"

"How can I calm down?"

"Our son wanted this…"

"He's too young! All by himself!"

"He can take care of himself…he wanted to try a method to cure himself of his cancer…"

"But…but what if that person is a fake?"

"Let us have faith in our son…that is all we can do…"

"…"

Several hours later, Izuku arrived at the area, where a research building is stationed, and there Melissa came and greeted him, and there she asks him how is he feeling, in which he said that he felt bad about leaving in secret after weeks of contemplating, but she told him that he did what he had to do, as she is sure that his parents would never let him go.

She then told him that his brain cancer is now at stage 4, and said that they are going to commence the experiment immediately in an effort to slowly eradicate the cancer cells in order to save his life, which Izuku nodded as he wanted to be cured of his disease once and for all so that he can resume a normal life and not burden his family any longer.

"So then, Midoriya…"

"…"

"Are you prepared? By now your cancer is probably at stage 4 by now."

"Yeah…I suppose…"

"This will be a process that cannot be done through shortcut methods…"

"I know."

"Then let us begin. Come inside…"

"Okay…"

The two teens then went inside the building, where it turns out that Melissa manages it all by herself, and outside, the scene shows that Taneo Tokuda, a freelance journalist working for Juzo News, a magazine publisher, stood behind a huge thick tree, watching the scene in secret. Tokuda turns out to have a latent talent in detective stuff, but he chose to use those elements in his part-time job as an investigative reporter so as to help elevate his career.

Since several weeks ago, Tokuda was curious about what Melissa is up to after accidentally overhearing her discussion with Izuku about using some of her equipment in an effort to conduct a secret experiment to cure him of his brain cancer. Just a while ago, he heard Melissa state that Izuku's brain cancer is now stage 4, thus attempts to use chemotherapy is futile as there is no recorded exploits about someone recovering from a stage 4 cancer.

Tokuda intended to find out if Melissa intend to help Izuku or if she has an ulterior motive for doing this, as he wants to know why is Melissa willing to help him for free or if she intend to conduct a grotesque experiment and abandon the younger boy if she either succeed or if her intended experiment ends in an unanticipated failure.

"I will definitely find out…"

-x-

A few hours later, Melissa began to have Izuku undergo a series of radiation therapy using her advanced equipment, which took about more than an hour, and while this process is different from the ones conducted in hospitals in a way of chemotherapy sessions, she took care not to cause discomfort to her patient, and he somewhat felt nothing other than a slight headache, and yet he did not feel anything un-pleasant.

After the session, Melissa uses the CT scan and MRI to check his brain, and told Izuku that the methods somewhat worked, as his brain cancer was reduced to stage 3.3, but cautioned that he may have to wait for at least two days before resuming the next session, and Izuku asks if they can do it at least tonight, but she advised against it as there will be a heavy thunderstorm by nightfall.

"Eh? Wait until a few days from now…?"

"Yes. There will be a severe thunderstorm today…"

"So…?"

"Then chances are there will be lightning storms…and if lightning strikes while performing our secret session…it might affect the equipment…and might put you in jeopardy."

"…"

"Be patient…we have time…"

"…"

"We should not rush…as we managed to weaken the cancer cells in you…"

Melissa urged him to be patient as she knows that the process should not be rushed, and even told him that she cannot perform a second session tonight due to the upcoming thunderstorm, and if they were to do that tonight and the thunderstorm occurs, the lightning that may potentially strike might cause a malfunction on the equipment and might put their efforts to cure him in jeopardy.

She assured to him that once the thunderstorm passes and the equipment is not damaged, then they can resume the second session, and she tells Izuku to wait until tomorrow once the thunderstorm is over and when it is safe for them to continue.

"For now you should rest."

"But…"

"When the storm passes, then we can concentrate."

"…"

"Trust me on this. You will be cured."

"…fine…"

"Good."

"…"

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is no action showed here, the dramatic moments make up for it, and aside from that, this is the first step where the adventure of our main character of this story has commenced…

Also, Taneo Tokuda appeared, and he appeared to be slightly a snooper having come here to spy on what Melissa is doing to Izuku, suspecting that Melissa is doing an ILLEGAL EXPERIMENTAL ACT and believe that she has a malevolent intention by pretending to be a GOOD SAMARITAN…

More on that in the next chapter…

Hello, and many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story advances as Izuku Midoriya pushes through with the secret experiment to try get rid of his brain cancer and see if it succeeds or if this would cause additional problem for him…

Well, read on and enjoy!

After the session, Melissa uses the CT scan and MRI to check his brain, and told Izuku that the methods somewhat worked, as his brain cancer was reduced to stage 3.3, but cautioned that he may have to wait for at least two days before resuming the next session, and Izuku asks if they can do it at least tonight, but she advised against it as there will be a heavy thunderstorm by nightfall.

"For now you should rest."

"But…"

"When the storm passes, then we can concentrate."

"…"

"Trust me on this. You will be cured."

"…fine…"

"Good."

"…"

-x-

Outside the lab, Tokuda is seen standing outside as he is looking around to see if he could find a way to sneak inside as he is intent in finding evidence that Melissa is planning something MALEVOLENT towards a HELPLESS AND INNOCENT boy, believing that she is going to use Midoriya for a GROTESQUE EXPERIMENT, recalling the time when he happened to watch the movie HUMAN CENTIPEDE, and just then his smartphone vibrated, and upon checking it he became dismayed when he finds out that a thunderstorm advisory is shown and now he would have to seek shelter to cover himself from the upcoming heavy downpour that would happen in an hour.

"Just great…good thing I brought a makeshift tent…guess I'll have to find a spot nearby…"

Izuku Midoriya - an normal teenage boy living with an ordinary family…living in an ordinary neighborhood and leads an ordinary life...but he is born Quirkless, and slowly lives a rather lonely life. However, his ordinary life was shattered upon discovering that he has stage 4 cancer of the brain, and was given less than half a year to live…

Given by an offer from a good Samaritan... Izuku took the chance and underwent a secret chemotherapy session in an effort to eradicate the cancer within him. Then, without the good Samaritan's knowledge, he made a secret chemotherapy session in secret, and an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.

And now, when Izuku Midoriya grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs…

The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter...

The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. Izuku Midoriya is believed to be dead. And he must let the world think that heisdead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him…

Ch. 4: Saisho no henkan

A few hours later, it was almost nightfall and as predicted, a thunderstorm occurred, in which heavy rains, along with severe thunder and lightning, ensued, and Melissa offered Midoriya food and warm milk, which the younger boy accepted, while at the same time, he secretly harbored dismay that the next treatment would have to wait till tomorrow or so, due to her advice on not to have the equipment used fearing that a single lightning strike might damage the equipment.

Midoriya is beginning to get somewhat impatient as he wanted to be free of cancer and felt that waiting would take its toll on him, but Melissa assured to him that they have lots of time, and all he has to do is wait for the storm to pass and once it does, then they can resume the session as scheduled, reiterating that things cannot be rushed just as he wanted to.

"Izuku…"

"…"

"Be patient…"

"…"

"I am sure the session will continue…we just need to wait for the storm to pass…otherwise we'd be in trouble if the equipment gets damaged if struck by a lightning bolt…"

"I…understand…"

"I promise…the session will continue as scheduled…"

"Okay…"

Midoriya sighed as he reluctantly nodded as he is forced to wait for the storm to pass. As Melissa went to secure everything else, he went to the door and looked through the glass, where he saw how dark the skies are, rain is falling heavily and that thunder is heard roaring very loud, before several lightning strikes are seen, and Midoriya sighed in dismay and frustration at the fact that his next treatment had to be called off for tonight.

Midoriya was visibly becoming more and more impatient as the hours passed, as it is now 20:00, and he noticed that the thunderstorm is still ongoing with no signs of stopping, and Melissa came and offered him packed dinner, as she tells him that she checked the forecast and said that there is a slight chance that the thunderstorm might end tomorrow, and if ever the weather improves by tomorrow, then they can resume the therapy.

"Be a little patient, Izuku."

"Y-yeah…"

"The storm will pass."

"I know."

"For now, you should rest. There's no point staying awake the whole night."

"I understand."

"Good to hear."

"…"

Midoriya could only stare in dismay at hearing the fact that the next treatment may or may not push through tomorrow as there is a point of uncertainty on whether the thunderstorm would end by tomorrow, as there is no telling whether the next treatment would commence tomorrow anytime or in the next few days. He stared at the windows seeing the downpour is still ongoing and that light from the thunderclouds are flashing.

The 14-year old boy stared in dismay while clenching his fists, as he really wanted to be cured right away and return to his family, and there an idea came to his head as he came up with a way to do something.

-x-

Outside, not far from the lab, a group of teenage delinquents are seen, where they are resting inside a stolen car, and they appeared to be aware about who is inside the lab, and they are somewhat planning to do a blatant prank on their intended victims.

The group of teens appeared to be notorious troublemakers as they gave their pursuers a headache as they always seemed to get away after pulling off a foolish prank, and the scene shows that the delinquents are awaiting for the rain to ease up, and the members are identified as:

- Kokichi Oma

- Hiyoko Saionji

- Nagisa Shingetsu

- Masaru Daimon

- Kotoko Utsugi

- Jetaro Kemuri

- Monaka Towa

The seven of them are discussing on when to make their next strike as each of them appeared to be targeting Midoriya seeing that he is easy to pull off their intended prank, at the same time, seeing that his petite build makes him a good way to piss him off, and they all agreed to make sure to give Midoriya a prank he would never, ever forget.

"So you guys know what to do?"

"Yup!"

"I am!"

"Ready to go!"

"Just say the word!"

"I would love to see the look on his pissed face…"

"Ha-ha!"

The seven delinquents then exchanged HIGH-FIVES as they await for the rain to weaken, and once they find their target in sight, then they will strike and put him in his place.

-x-

A few hours later, it was 23:00, and Melissa is already asleep, and with the rain still ongoing, Midoriya sneaked out and head for the lab room where he had his first therapy hours ago, and he is determined to go through this, confident that the next session would reduce the tumor significantly and would hasten his healing.

As he is preparing the equipment, he made sure that things are in places, and by then the machine is operational, where all he has to do now is set the radiation level to a tolerable input, and once it is in place, all he has to do is strap himself in and begin, but Midoriya decided to head for the toilet first, and while doing so, a stray lightning struck the lab.

Fortunately a lightning rod is attached, thus it cushions the impact of the electricity surge, but an unforeseen situation occurred, as a stray surge of electricity made its way through the equipment, which somewhat increase the gamma radiation surge, raising it to a point where an overdose might prove dangerous.

What's more, unknown to Midoriya, the equipment that he is about to use is already upgraded, and that, along with the sudden electrical surge, would play a role on what would happen next.

By then Midoriya came back, unaware of what happened and strapped himself onto the equipment and began the session, where the radiation treatment commences, and while the effects he had during the first try went well with tolerable feeling, he felt that the effect was a bit strong, but he mentally dismisses it and went on with the treatment, which lasted for about 30 minutes, which he felt a bit nauseous, which is comparable to long bouts of chemotherapy.

After that, Midoriya puts the equipment back to its proper place and turns them off so as to avoid suspicion, and using another equipment, he underwent scanning, where another hour later, he is ecstatic to find out that the tumor somewhat dissolved, and believed that he has been cured, and he is pleased that he went through this even though he had to do it in secret.

"Yes! I'm cured! Now my problems are solved!"

As he left the room and went towards the window, he noted that the weather slightly improved despite the rain is still there, and he decided to take a walk towards the woods to have a bit of peace in privacy, and several minutes later, the scene shows that Midoriya is somewhere within the woods, quite far from the lab, and there he came across the stolen car where the seven teen delinquents are seen, looking appeared to try fixing a flat tire.

The seven delinquents saw Midoriya approaching , where they are ecstatic to see that their prank-pulling session is about to commence, and Oma tells the others on what to do, which the six others nodded in agreement, remembering the plan and when to pull it off.

"Okay…here comes our target! So you guys know what to do?"

"Yup!"

"I am!"

"Ready to go!"

"Just say the word!"

"I would love to see the look on his pissed face…"

"Ha-ha!"

The seven delinquents took their places as Monoka and Saionji pretended to fix a flat tire, where they make sarcastic, melancholic comments, making it appeared that they might die from pneumonia because of the rain, which attracted the innocent Naegi's attention upon hearing their woes.

"Oh no~oh!"

"Wha~at?"

"We can't fix the tire…"

"So whose fault is that…?"

"Er…you?"

"Come on! I'm stuck in this wheelchair!"

"Who will save us…?"

"Poor me…!"

As Midoriya approached them, he asks what is the problem, and there Monaka claims that they had a flat tire and said that they couldn't make much progress as Saionji is not physically up to the task while Monaka herself is confined to a wheelchair. Saionji then mocked Monaka for being a DISABLED and said that no one would marry her, which Monaka verbally retaliated.

Being a kind boy, Midoriya then offered to help in replacing the tire, which the two girls asked if he is serious in helping them, which he nodded, saying that while he has never done this before, he said he would see what he could do, and the two girls secretly grinned, seeing that their target has taken the bait.

As Midoriya grabbed a tool to remove the screws of the rear tire, Monaka gave a hand gesture, signaling the rest of the delinquents to come out of their hiding places and they grappled Midoriya as they tied his hands onto the car with chains, and a surprised Midoriya demanded to know what is the meaning of this, where Saionji laughed and said that he just fallen to their trap and now he is about to get a HEALTHY dose of pranking.

Monaka also laughed as she said that Midoriya is so dumb to fall for a ruse like that, and soon Nagisa, Jetaro, Oma, and Masaru took out kendo sticks and are ready to hit Midoriya, where they told him that tonight is the night he will never, ever forget.

"Surprise!"

"Tonight is your LUCKY night!"

"You're going to get INITIATED!"

"And this will be an experience you won't forget!"

"Ha-ha!"

"This is gonna be fun!"

"Ready guys?"

"Let's do it!"

Midoriya struggles a lot to get free but with his wrist bound in chains, he is a sitting duck, and there Saionji laughed and shriek like a madwoman as she and Monaka began telling the others to start hitting Midoriya, and not to stop until he begs for mercy, but Monaka interjected and said that they should keep hitting the boy until he give all of his money up, which Saionji considers the idea.

"Say…lets torture him a bit…"

"Huh? Why?"

"That way he'll be begging for mercy…and when he does…we'll make him cough out all his money…"

"Hmm…"

"Well…?"

"Good idea!"

"Okay…it's settled…?"

"Right! Boys…hit him!"

With Saionji and Monaka coming to an agreement, the two girls told their fellow pranksters to start the HAZING, and the five delinquents began hitting Midoriya on the back with the kendo sticks, which the impact was tolerable at first, and Midoriya pleaded at them to stop, but fell on deaf ears as they took pleasure in doing their thing.

However, Saionji told Oma to hit Midoriya on his testicles with kendo stick, which he willingly obliges as they want to see their victim cringing and begging for mercy, and the rest urges Oma to do it as they want to see Midoriya get hit on his testicles.

"Come on!"

"Hit him!"

"On his balls!"

"Scramble him!"

"Castrate him!"

"Make him a transsexual!"

"Do it!"

"Ha-ha!"

With his fellow delinquents egging him on, Oma then jabbed the tip of the kendo stick on Midoriya's testicles, and he screamed in pain, which the delinquents laughed in delight, but then an ominous sign took place as rain began to pour hard and thunder roared, which some of the delinquents began to waiver but Saionji urges them to ignore the thunder saying that it is nothing.

However, when Nagisa checked on Midoriya, he stared wide-eyed and started to back away as he is starting to get apprehensive and the others asked him what is wrong, and he told them what happened, but Saionji just laughed when told that Midoriya's eyeballs went WHITE, but when the others checked on their victim, they too began to get worried when they told her that Nagisa is telling the truth about Midoriya's eyes going WHITE.

The scene shifts to Midoriya, where you can see that his eyes, particularly his eyeballs, has indeed went WHITE, and moments later his voice slowly changed tone, where a small growl can be heard, and as Jetaro aimed his flashlight, they saw Midoriya appearing to underwent a CHANGE, as his skin color slowly changed to green, his body changed built along with his height.

Moreover, when his body shape changed, his clothes began to stretch until it ripped, which shows his now revealing muscles. His biceps became muscular as his upper clothes gave way, and so are his legs which also became muscular, thus his pants got ripped along with his shoes. The chains also snapped and Midoriya broke free, and the seven delinquents stared wide-eyed in horror upon seeing what just happened.

Izuku underwent a stunning transformation, from a 5'4 boy to a 7'4 muscular mutated human; green-skinned, and his hair also turned green, yet it retained its signature hairstyle. The mutated Midoriya, now only in its ripped remains of his shirt, ripped pants and barefoot, flexed its muscles and roared aloud, angry and ready to get outraged.

"RRROOOOAAARRR!"

The seven delinquents started to tremble in fear as they believed that they may have picked the wrong target to piss off, and they began to blame one another for what is transpiring right now, and urged one another to do something about it, yet neither one of them wanted to get close to the now-transformed Midoriya, afraid to get close to him.

"Do something!"

"Why me?"

"You were the one who jabbed his balls!"

"You were the one who told me to do it!"

"Quick…you guys do something!"

"No way!"

"Don't want to!"

"I'm going home!"

The Lonely Man Theme (by Joe Harnel)
(Ending theme of The Incredible Hulk)

Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is no action showed here, the dramatic moments make up for it, and aside from that, Midoriya has finally become the titular character itself…

The characters that appeared here are from Danganronpa 2, Danganronpa: Another Episode, and Danganronpa V3, in which they are portrayed as sadistic pranksters…originally I was planning to use the minor criminals who appeared in the USJ arc of My Hero Academia, but I felt that they were too adult and that I needed some characters who are minors and that they could deceive their target with their INNOCENT AURA, thus I came up with using characters from another series, which fits well given that they are able to deceive a fellow minor like Midoriya…

And while they succeeded in pranking their target, taking great joy in their actions only this time they realized too late that what they did made Midoriya into…SOMETHING…and now they are in danger…

More on that in the next chapter…

Hello, and many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story advances as Makoto Naegi pushes through with the experiment to try get rid of his brain cancer, and now the results are shown...which now cause additional problem for him…

Well, read on and enjoy!

Somewhere within Musutafu…

It was a rather late evening, and yet the weather's fine, showing that everything is peaceful within the city, and there the scene shifts at a town, which is bustling with people, as many are walking and loitering around, shops filled with shoppers whilst restaurants are catering hungry patrons, some are dining in and others ordering take-outs.

Some shops are selling clothes and there are banks accommodating customers who wish to deposit their money while others are transacting, such as opening new accounts and withdrawing money from their ATM cards.

The scene shifts to other areas where shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.

"Hey!"

"Nice day, isn't it?"

"Today is a good day..."

"I love my job..."

"Life is so good..."

"I wish I have a good day..."

"Lots of money..."

"Lots of girls..."

The scene later shifts to a certain area, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical in nature - cheaper prices and practicality.

You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.

"Hello...please by our items..."

"They are cheaper..."

"...they are in good working condition..."

"You can try them if you like..."

"I promise you will like them..."

"I promise you will get your money's worth..."

"Here are the items on our display..."

"Pick the one you like..."

The area is thriving and many merchants set up shops to attract passing customers and entice them to buy their products by showing the items and offered cheaper prices while assuring them that the items are in good working condition, and their marketing strategy worked as some passing customers were intrigued after hearing that so e gadgets are being sold in cheaper prices, and they began asking the merchants what items do they sell, and the merchants showed to the customers the items they are selling, ranging from smartphones to android tablets and even laptops.

Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:

- Nintendo Famicom

- Super Famicom

- Sega Mega Drive

- Game Boy Color

- Game Boy Advance

- Neo Geo

- Sony Playstation

- Sega Saturn

- Nintendo 64

In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such classical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.

"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"

"Yes...they are cool..."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."

"Hmm..."

"Would you like to try them...?"

"..."

"I promise you will not regret it..."

By then a passing customer passed by the shop, and he appeared to be a businessman in his mid-20's, and saw the items on display and became intrigued by it and went inside the shop, looking at the consoles on display, and began inquiring about which console is the best to purchase, as he is wondering which one he should choose, and the merchant obliges as he patiently explained each of the consoles' abilities and specialties, and soon he recommended to the customer to buy the Super Famicom, saying that aside from having a lot of RARE games, which are in cartridge form, it was the most popular and well-sold consoles in its heydays, and even said that several games are colorful in terms of graphics and that there a lot of popular games to choose from.

The customer appeared to be enticed yet he wanted to be sure, so he asked the merchant to give him a demonstration, and the merchant obliges, and brought out the Super Famicom and attached it to a flat-screen TV and inserted a cartridge and activated it, and the customer watched in awe seeing that the merchant was not lying, and after testing out several games, the customer is pleased and agreed to purchase the console, and the merchant happily obliges as he prepared a box to put the Super Famicom in and said that as his way of showing thanks, he will give 50 Super Famicom games for 70% discount, which the customer is pleased with this.

"Really? You will sell the games at 70% discount?"

"Yes, sir..."

"Thanks!"

"Please choose the games that you like..."

"I'll take these..."

"Here you go..."

"Thanks!"

"Have a good day, sir..."

After that, the customer got what he wanted, paid the merchant and left, and the other customers were awed in seeing that the merchant had sold a popular classic console to an adult, and they began asking the merchant for opinion on which console is the best besides the Super Famicom, and merchant began to show out the other consoles and offered to show its power and the number of games that are available, and after seeing them, the customers lined up and brought out their money and ordered their desired consoles and its games.

"I want the Sega Mega Drive!"

"The Neo Geo!"

"Give me the Nintendo 64!"

"I want the Game Boy Advance!"

"I want the Nintendo Famicom!"

"I want all of it!"

"Everyone...calm down...form a line and I will accommodate you all..."

"Hurry up, then!"

However, what the people in Musutafu have no idea what is happening at the OTHER SIDE, as a certain incident is taking place…since it's far away, they are unaware of what is about to happen in a few days from now…

Izuku Midoriya - an normal teenage boy living with an ordinary family…living in an ordinary neighborhood and leads an ordinary life...but he is born Quirkless, and slowly lives a rather lonely life.

Ch. 5: Mori no ikari 

At the forest…

The scene shows that the delinquents are HAVING FUN pulling off a TORTUROUS PRANK on their intended victim – Izuku Midoriya, who fell for their trap and is being humiliated and subjected to their foolish activities, unaware of the impending situation that's about to happen.

With his fellow delinquents egging him on, Oma then jabbed the tip of the kendo stick on Midoriya's testicles, and Midoriya screamed in pain, which the delinquents laughed in delight, but then an ominous sign took place as rain began to pour hard and thunder roared, which some of the delinquents began to waiver but Saionji urges them to ignore the thunder saying that it is nothing.

However, when Nagisa checked on Midoriya, he stared wide-eyed and started to back away as he is starting to get apprehensive and the others asked him what is wrong, and he told them what happened, but Saionji just laughed when told that Midoriya's eyeballs went WHITE, but when the others checked on Midoriya, they too began to get worried when they told her that Nagisa is telling the truth about Midoriya's eyes going WHITE.

The scene shifts to Midoriya, where you can see that his eyes, particularly his eyeballs, has indeed went WHITE, and moments later his voice slowly changed tone, where a small growl can be heard, and as Jetaro aimed his flashlight, they saw Midoriya appearing to underwent a CHANGE, as his skin color slowly changed to green, his body changed built along with his height.

Moreover, when his body shape changed, his clothes began to stretch until it ripped, which shows his now revealing muscles. His biceps became muscular as his upper clothes gave way, and so are his legs which also became muscular, thus his pants got ripped along with his shoes. The chains also snapped and Midoriya broke free, and the seven delinquents stared wide-eyed in horror upon seeing what just happened.

Izuku underwent a stunning transformation, from a 5'3 boy to a 7'4 muscular mutated human; green-skinned, and his hair also turned green, yet it retained its hairstyle. The mutated Midoriya, who now facially resembled a different person (he now resembled an Asian version of Lou Ferrigno), is now only in its ripped remains of his shirt, ripped pants and barefoot, flexed its muscles and roared aloud, angry and ready to get outraged.

"RRROOOOAAARRR!"

The seven delinquents started to tremble in fear as they believed that they may have picked the wrong target to piss off, and they began to blame one another for what is transpiring right now, and urged one another to do something about it, yet neither one of them wanted to get close to the now-transformed Midoriya, afraid to get close to him.

"Do something!"

"Why me?"

"You were the one who jabbed his balls!"

"You were the one who told me to do it!"

"Quick…you guys do something!"

"No way!"

"Don't want to!"

"I'm going home!"

The angry creature then approached his nearest targets, which are Saionji and Monaka, and the terrified girls trembled as the green-skinned, HULKING creature approached the two, growling menacingly at the spooked girls, as they are now regretting in picking on Midoriya, due to the fact that they are unaware of what Midoriya went through and now they are facing a dilemma.

The girls trembled further as the creature growled and both Saionji and Monaka attempted to appease the creature in hopes of making him go away and leave them alone without trouble, which the others looked on and hoped that the girls' plan work.

"Easy...easy..."

"Be nice..."

"Good boy...good boy..."

"Doggie wanna bone...?"

"Wanna play fetch...?"

"How about a stick...?"

"Want me to kick your ass...?"

"Saionji!"

However, the creature became agitated and roared loudly, causing the two girls to shriek, hugging each other while urging one another to do something, which did little to help their case as they are too scared to do anything and this only worsen their situation.

"EEEEKKK!"

"KKKYYYAAAHHH!"

"DO SOMETHING!"

"ME?!"

"IT WAS YOUR IDEA!"

"YOU DO IT!"

"NOT ME!"

"I'M BOUND ON A WHEELCHAIR, YOU IDIOT! YOU DO IT!"

The creature then picked up the wheelchair, where Monaka and Saionji are on, and he roared angrily as he threw the wheelchair upward north, where the wheelchair and the two girls are thrown away, where you can here them screaming hysterically for help.

"EEEEKKK!"

"KKKYYYAAAHHH!"

"HELP!"

"I DON'T WANNA DIE!"

"DO SOMETHING!"

"GUYS...CATCH US!"

"WE'RE GONNA FALL!"

"AAAAIIIEEE!"

The remaining boys trembled in terror upon seeing what the creature did to Saionji and Monaka, and now they are too scared to run off, they began to push each other towards the creature as they urge each other to do something and chase it away, which resulted in a bickering among the boys.

"DO SOMETHING!"

"ME?!"

"IT WAS YOUR IDEA!"

"YOU DO IT!"

"NOT ME!"

"I GOT CRAMPS!"

"I GOT AIDS!"

"SOMEONE CALL SUPERMAN!"

In the heat of the moment, the boys accidentally pushed Oma towards the creature, where he accidentally bumped him, where the creature growled as a terrified Oma tries to coax him into joining their group, which the creature only glared in reply, further causing tension among the boys seeing that Oma's tactics isn't working.

"Easy...easy..."

"..."

"Be nice..."

"..."

"Good boy...good boy..."

"..."

"Doggie wanna bone...?"

"..."

The creature stared menacingly at Oma, as things are not looking good, and due in part to his foolishness, Jetaro sneaked behind the creature and uses the kendo stick to jab the creature's testicles, which did not have any effect, and this only angered the creature as he turn around and grabbed the kendo stick and crushed it with his palm.

Jetaro stared in fright at what he saw and the creature grabbed him as he roared in anger, which Jetaro screamed in terror, pleading for mercy, which did not work as the creature only roared in reply and nothing else.

"EEEEKKK!"

"RRRROOOAAARRR"

"KKKYYYAAAHHH!"

"RRROOOAAARRR!"

"HELP!"

"RRROOOAAARR!"

"I DON'T WANNA DIE!"

"RRROOOAARRR!"

"DO SOMETHING!"

The creature then threw Jetaro northwards, where you can see him flown away, his arms and legs waving (anime-style) while screaming in terror. As Jetaro disappeared from sight, the creature stared at the remaining boys and Kotoko, where they started to panic after seeing what the creature did to Monaka and the others, and they feared for their safety.

Wanting to save face, Masaru went in front of the creature and did some KARATE KID gestures in an effort to intimidate the creature into leaving them alone. This did not work as the creature only stare in a menacing way.

"Aaaaiiiiaaah...kkkkiiiiyyyaaah…!"

"..."

"Aaaaiiiiaaah...kkkkiiiiyyyaaah…!"

"..."

"Aaaaiiiiaaah...kkkkiiiiyyyaaah…!"

"..."

"Aaaaiiiiaaah...kkkkiiiiyyyaaah…!"

"..."

Kotoko and Nagisa stared in disbelief at seeing what Masaru is doing, and they wondered if that is going to work, but then they got their answer as the creature roared as he picks up Masaru by his shirt and threw him northward, where he can be heard screaming in terror, and now this leaves Kotoko and Nagisa as the only ones left.

The creature then menacingly went towards the two, and the two terrified pranksters are now trembling with fear as Kotoko tells Nagisa to do something, which he shook his head saying what is he supposed to do facing something like that, which resulted in the two bickering as the creature stood in front of the two delinquents.

"DO SOMETHING!"

"ME?!"

"IT WAS YOUR IDEA!"

"YOU DO IT!"

"NOT ME!"

"I GOT CRAMPS!"

"I GOT CONSTIPATION!"

"SOMEONE CALL THE AVENGERS!"

The two pranksters' bickering only agitated the creature and he grabbed them by their collars, roaring aloud, which caused the two to scream in terror, and the creature angrily threw them northward, where you can hear them screaming before disappearing from sight amid the heavy rain.

After that the creature wandered away, drifting aimlessly into the night, as The creature seemingly possess little of Midoriya's mind, and as the creature wandered within the forest, a group of dogs, possibly wolves (about six of them), showed up, and they appeared to be hungry as they are scavenging for food, and seeing the creature as their nearest target, the wolves settled for him and immediately pounced the creature, attempting to take a bite from him.

The creature only roared in anger as he grabbed two of the wolves by their tails and slammed them on the ground, hurting them which causes them to limp back, and the creature did the same to the other two, then repeated the same action on the two remaining wolves, and the six of them are seen cowering away as they are badly hurt, moaning in pain after being struck like that.

"MMMRRROOOAARR..."

"MMMRRROOOAARR..."

"MMMRRROOOAARR..."

"MMMRRROOOAARR..."

"MMMRRROOOAARR..."

"MMMRRROOOAARR..."

"MMMRRROOOAARR..."

"MMMRRROOOAARR..."

As the wolves fled and disappeared, the creature left and wandered within the forest, where several hours have passed, and the creature went around the forest until ending up in front of the laboratory where Melissa is staying, and the creature slowly sat on a rock, where he seemingly calmed down, and soon the green coloration of his skin started to fade back to its natural skin color; his height decreases; his muscles shrank back.

The creature is once again Izuku Midoriya, and he appeared to be disoriented as he did not seem to recall the events from earlier, other than recalling that he left the laboratory, and to his bewilderment, he finds his clothes ripped and is barefooted. He wondered what happened and why he could not recall anything, which made him wonder what just happened.

By then Melissa came out as she happened to be looking for Midoriya, and is surprised to see him there, but then noticed that his clothes were ripped as she realized that there are wolves in the forest, where she became concerned and asks him if he is okay.

"Izuku!"

"..."

"What are you doing here?"

"..."

"Are you okay?"

"..."

"Did the wolves attacked you?"

"..."

Midoriya could not answer anything due to being disoriented and could not recall anything at the forest, and Melissa decided to help him as she led him inside the laboratory to give him some clothes and asks him what he is doing outside, as she is relieved that he is okay and that the heavy rain has stopped and she intend to continue the treatment, unaware of what Midoriya did to himself last night.

Ch. 6: Jikken-shitsu Inferuno

The scene shifts at the forest, where the time now is 7 am, and Takeo Tokuda, an am investigative reporter, who is moonlighting as a journalist/reporter, walked by, searching for Midoriya, as he is intrigued about him wanting to use Melissa's lab to do a secret chemotherapy session to cure his illness, which he believe that there is an ulterior motive behind this. He arrived last night after managing to do an investigation on Melissa and managed to find the place, and all he needed now is find this laboratory, which is within this forest.

By then he heard cries of help, which he looked around, until he deduced the source of the cries, and looked up, where Monaka, Kotoko, Saionji, Oma, Nagisa, Jetaro and Masaru are seen holding onto the branches of several trees, crying for help, as the trees they are on are too high above the ground, and Tokuda stared in surprise at seeing them holding on to dear life.

"WWAAAHHH!"

"HELP!"

"SOMEONE HELP ME!"

"DO SOMETHING!"

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"

"I'M SCARED OF HEIGHTS!"

"SAVE ME!"

Tokuda then came up with a way and managed to help the seven delinquents to get down safely, but despite this, the seven appeared to be traumatized and still crying, and Tokuda talked to Monaka and asks her what happened, and he raised an eyebrow after being told, which he finds it unbelievable at first until hearing the description of Midoriya's appearance before his transformation.

But since the delinquents do not know Midoriya's name, Tokuda remained unaware about the identity of the creature in question and asks Monaka again, which she gave the same explanation despite her trembling and shrieking hysterically.

"I-it's…l-like th-this…"

"…"

"He was a petite boy…he looked easy to pick on…"

"Then…?"

"We pranked him…then he GREW UP…his clothes ripped…then he…he…"

"You do not seem to be…"

"The brat turn into a green creature! He even thrashed the car!"

"Calm down…"

Though he finds it suspicious, Tokuda took Monaka's word for now and advises the delinquents to go home, which they did, and he can hear them rambling that they promise not to pull spiteful pranks ever again so as to avoid another encounter like that.

"We'll be good…"

"We won't do pranks ever again…"

"Yeah…"

"I don't want to be thrown off again…"

"No more jabbing on the balls…"

"I think I will continue...I am the SUPREME LEADER…"

"Will you knock it off? It was your idea that caused that thing to throw us away in the first place!"

"Yeah! And from this point…I'm quitting doing pranks!"

Tokuda wondered what happened here and why the delinquents made a claim like that, he recall about Midoriya being somewhere here to undergo a secret chemotherapy session, and wondered if the person that Midoriya is seeing has anything to do with this so-called CREATURE the delinquents are claiming, and he decided to move ahead and find this lab.

Tokuda suspected that Melissa might be involved in some kind of illegal experiment, and has a feeling that Midoriya might become a victim and he went ahead, not bothering to go after the delinquents who left in a traumatized way.

As Tokuda walked to another route, a few minutes later he found a wrecked car, which is tilted to its side, and after recalling what the delinquents said about the so-called creature, he started to consider their words and decided to get going.

-x-

At the secret lab, Melissa was surprised as she did a scan on Midoriya, finding out that the cancer cells at his brain were eradicated, and that it did not spread to any part of his body, and while dismayed at first at the fact that he carried out the session without her knowledge, she was quite pleased that the chemotherapy session was a success.

However, when she asked him how he ended up outside the lab and only in ripped clothes, barefooted and disoriented, Midoriya told her that all he remembered is when he attempted to help some younger teens, they began to use spiteful and foolish pranks and his mind went blank, and when he came to, he said that he is surprised that it was already morning and could not recall anything else.

When Melissa checked his arms, she was quite astounded that the bite wounds were almost healed and when told that he does not remember encountering some wolves, Melissa wondered what is going on, and told Midoriya that she will conduct some experiment to see what side-effects he acquired, as she is unsure if he got one from the unsupervised chemotherapy session he got.

"Okay, Izuku…"

"Huh?"

"I will check on you."

"What?"

"You did a chemo session without my permission…all by yourself."

"Well…"

"I need to see if you got any undetected side effects."

"…"

Midoriya was a bit unsure about what Melissa is planning, but after being told of how he ended up outside the lab, and why he could not recall the events after encountering the younger delinquents, he accepted the offer so as to find out why he BLACKED OUT last night, unaware of the fact that he became that creature and manhandled the delinquents for provoking him.

As Melissa and Midoriya head for the dining area, they did not notice that a teenager, having the same petite build as Midoriya's, is seen lurking around, and he turns out to be a thief who is looking for any items that can be converted to cash, and he sneaked inside and remained hidden, intending to find anything he could steal, and once he get what he wanted, he will sneak his way out.

-x-

Much later, the scene shifts inside one of the lab rooms where a huge cell-like device is stored, and Midoriya willingly went inside as Melissa began to check any vital signs and see if there is any side-effects, as she told Midoriya that she checked the machine that he used last night, and informed him that an undetected electrical surge struck the machine, and as Midoriya used the machine, she discovered that it energized the machine, thus Midoriya was accidentally overdosed with gamma radiation.

She told Midoriya that she would see if this might cause new problems as he might develop a new cancer sickness or if that played a role in eradicating his brain cancer, and Midoriya hoped that it is the latter, as he does not want his new-found recovery be in vain.

"Okay…I'll see if the cancer cells are eliminated."

"…"

"And to make sure there aren't any in any part of your body…"

"I hope so."

"Surely you should have been more patient."

"…"

"Okay, here we go."

"…"

After that, Melissa began to have Midoriya undergo some tests, after some 30 minutes the results shown were normal, and the test left him exhausted and drifted to sleep, and Melissa decided to let him remain there so he could rest uninterrupted, as she is still curious on what really happened to him, feeling that something did happen to him.

About 30 minutes later, Midoriya is dreaming, where he recalled the events from last night where the teen delinquents were harassing him, and this bad dream slowly increases the emotional strain on his mind. Melissa then noticed the behavior pattern through the scanners of the machine room he is in, and deduces this and is pondering on whether to go inside and wake him up.

As for Midoriya, the bad dream intensifies as the delinquents in his dream further agitated him until Midoriya's subconscious emotions went out of control, where he got up, screamed angrily, and there Melissa saw his eyeballs went white, and she stared in surprise as she saw Midoriya slowly changing his appearance, as his body mass increases, which his pajama top slowly ripped off, his skin turning green and he is now growling and roaring.

Melissa could only stare in shock upon seeing Midoriya's transformed appearance as the creature is enraged and is banging his way out of his celled room, and she realized what happened, as the accidental overdose of gamma radiation may have cured him of cancer, but now it altered the younger boy's body chemistry.

And she deduced that if Midoriya underwent any emotional stress or negative feelings or emotion, that may trigger the sudden transformation. Her musing was interrupted when the creature managed to break free and roared louder, and is eyeing Melissa.

Managing to compose herself, she attempted to calm the creature by making soothing sounds in a calm way, which appeared to work as the creature is slowly being calmed down as she led him to a couch and had him sit down.

"Shh…"

"…"

"Easy…"

"…"

"It's okay…"

"…"

"There, there…"

"…"

The creature eventually calmed down and went silent, where he slowly changed its appearance, as his body slowly reverted back to its original shape, and Midoriya is back to normal, where he slowly regain his presence of mind and finds himself outside the celled room, and is surprised to see the celled room wrecked, and that he is only in his pajama pants, which was ripped.

He then asks Melissa what happened, where she reluctantly told him what happened, which Midoriya stared wide-eyed at what he was told, and he could not believe what he just heard, but after recalling the events where he encountered the delinquents last night, and after seeing the wrecked celled room and his current state, he is forced to acknowledge what Melissa just said.

"Then…"

"Yes."

"So…I…"

"That's right."

"How…how did…?"

"Calm down…"

"But…"

"Relax."

Melissa calmed him down and said that she will find a way to reverse the process, so that Midoriya won't turn into that creature again, which he nodded as he strives to stay calm as she said that she will start the experiment tonight and tells him that they will stay awake all night in order to ensure that he would not get any more complications.

-x-

Later that night, Midoriya is sitting on a bench outside the lab and is pondering on what to do next. He feels apprehensive at what he has become, and given what Melissa told him, he realized that he may have to stay here for the time being until she managed to eradicate the condition inside his body so that he won't undergo any sudden transformations that might bring harm to others, and he realized that he may have to avoid his family for now in order to spare them from worry should they discover his current condition.

By then Tokuda approached him, having found the lab, and Midoriya saw him, wondering what he wants, and there he approached him and tells him that he is an INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER and JOURNALIST, and said that he saw Midoriya at the hospital a few days back and was being approached by Melissa about giving him free chemotherapy sessions.

Midoriya felt a bit worried as he does not want him to find out what happened to him, and tells Tokuda that it was just an offer and that he is only here to talk, and nothing else. Tokuda wasn't convinced, yet he remained neutral and instead asks him if he heard anything about a GREEN-SKINNED creature lurking within the forest, saying he encountered seven younger teenagers who were hanging by the tree branch and encountered it.

Moreover, he even told him that he saw a car wrecked nearby and said that it could not be caused by a bear that could not possibly lift a car.

Midoriya became more worried as he felt that Tokuda might discover his unwanted secret, and seeing that it was almost time for the experiment, he came up with something just to make Tokuda go away by saying he does not know anything, but his persistence was slowly making him agitated slightly and Midoriya was forced to speak harshly at her just to make her leave.

"Mr. Tokuda…"

"Yes?"

"Please."

"What?"

"Mr. Tokuda…don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

"Is that a threat?"

"A warning. So please…go home."

"…"

Tokuda raised an eyebrow as how he was treated as Midoriya went back inside the lab, but he is determined to see if Midoriya, Melissa and the lab are connected to this so-called creature, and he stealthily followed him, but by the time he reached the front door, it was locked, and he is now thinking of a way to get inside.

Inside the lab, the scene shows that the intruder managed to ransack some items that can be converted to cash, and even stole Midoriya's PRIZED jacket (which included is ID), and even wore it, and is about to steal another item when Melissa caught him and tries to stop him, resulting in a scuffle.

"Hey!"

"!"

"What are you doing?"

"…"

"Drop those things!"

"…"

"Come back here!"

"…"

However, the thief overpowered her and banged her head against one of the machines, causing a wire to be severed, which soon caused a spark, but as the thief is trying to pick up the stolen items, he impatiently kicked a gas tank which accidentally spilled some fuel, causing an explosion which caused a chain reaction as other equipment began to catch fire and exploded.

The resulting noise caught Midoriya's attention and he went inside to see what is going on. There he saw the room is on fire, and more explosions rocked. He then saw Melissa was being struck by debris, and he attempted to help her, but the thief struck Midoriya from behind before throwing him inside another celled room before locking him out.

As Midoriya banged the door and demanded to be let out, the thief taunted him before escaping, only to be caught in an explosion which struck his head, which burned his face beyond recognition, and with the damage he took, the thief is killed. Midoriya saw the fire getting worse, and seeing Melissa in mortal danger, he became frustrated and this triggered his transformation.

Outside the lab, Tokuda heard the sounds of explosions and the flames appearing, which he sensed that something is wrong, and while using his cellphone to call the fire department within the area he is in, Tokuda saw something emerging from the burning lab, which was the green-skinned creature that the delinquents mentioned, and he saw him carrying the injured Melissa, and Tokuda believed that the creature caused the fire.

As he is about to follow them, a strong explosion rocked which the impact sends Tokuda back, knocking him down, and he was too dazed to get up, and he helplessly watches the creature leaving with Melissa in his arms.

A minute later, the creature went to a forested area where he puts Melissa down, and you can see that her head wound was severe, yet she managed to regain conscious, and the creature looked at her, as she weakly touched his cheek, and she expressed her apology that she might not be able to help him in getting cured or how to control the RAGING SPIRIT that dwells within him, but the creature just stared at her in silence.

"I-Izuku…"

"…"

"S-sorry…"

"…"

"G-guess…I can't…h-help…you…"

"…"

"You…got…live…don't…give…"

"…"

After that, Melissa perished, and the creature could only stare in silence before walking aimlessly towards the forest, leaving her lifeless body behind, not looking back as sounds of the fire trucks can be heard arriving, and soon more arrived as the firemen struggled to control the blaze.

Minutes later, police arrived, where they searched the area and found Melissa's corpse, and the police asks Tokuda what happened, seeing that he is the only witness here at the time. There Tokuda told the police what he knows, and the police investigator, and a few cops, raised an eyebrow at what he was told, finding it quite…absurd.

He began to doubt about Tokuda's claim that a human-like creature, green-skinned, carried Melissa here and that the creature is said to be the cause of the explosion which took a life. Tokuda maintained his words and said that he saw everything, and gave the creature a term that would help identify it - the HULK.

"What was that, Tokuda?"

"You heard me."

"The HULK? Is that a joke?"

"No. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Maybe the explosion banged your head…and maybe your imagination…"

"You think I would do something like pulling a prank after seeing what happened?"

"Just because you're a reporter of a famous publishing company doesn't mean you can…"

"Don't you dare provoke me…"

After a few minutes one of the firemen came and said that the fire is under control, and the investigator went to the site, where firemen searched the burnt lab, and after several minutes they found another corpse, where Tokuda stared wide-eyed upon seeing the corpse, which though it was lying face-down, the logo of the jacket shows that it belonged to Midoriya's, and there Midoriya's ID is found. What Tokuda did not know is that the corpse is actually the thief, who happened to have the same build as the real Midoriya, but because his face was burned beyond recognition, he cannot be identified accurately.

The investigator then checked the corpse's body and found Midoriya's ID, which it turns out that the thief stole it and intend to replace the picture with another, but failed to do so. The police investigator checked the ID and found the contact number, and thus he had no choice but to call the Midoriya family to inform them about what happened to the victim – Izuku Midoriya .

Soon Melissa's body, along with the other corpse, are loaded inside the ambulance, and there Tokuda reiterated at what he saw earlier, and yet the investigators doubt his claim about the creature, which sparked a debate between the two until both sides were pacified.

-x-

Several days later, the scene shifts at a cemetery, where the relatives and friends of Izuku Midoriya are assembled, and they tearfully watched the coffin being buried, and the Midoriya parents are crying, as they could not believe that they would lose their son this soon, and though they had a hard time believing that Izuku was presumed to be murdered by the so-called Hulk that Tokuda described, they nevertheless accepted it, and after several minutes, everyone left.

As the cemetery is deserted, the real Izuku Midoriya showed up, looking sullen, as he felt that fate is not kind to him. While he is cured of the cancer, he is cursed with the fact that he could turn into the Hulk if he emotionally loses himself.

He watches the grave and the tombstone where Midoriya's name is engraved, and though he did not like it, he had no choice but to let everyone believe that Izuku Midoriya is dead, so that he could move a bit freely and find a way to cure himself and be free from the creature that dwells within him.

He silently cried as he did not want to desert his family like this but he knew that this is the only way to keep them safe. He does not want everyone, especially the media, to know that he is alive, and feared that if they find out that he is the Hulk, his family will be scorned and he may end up becoming a guinea pig.

Midoriya walked away and pondered on where to go, as he must now make sure that no one knows that he still exist until he manage to find a cure that would free him from his newly-acquired curse.

To Be Continued...

The Lonely Man Theme (by Joe Harnel)
(Ending theme of The Incredible Hulk)

Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is little action showed here, the dramatic moments make up for it, and aside from that, Midoriya has finally become the titular character itself…yet an innocent life is sacrificed in order to bring about the story.

With Midoriya being mistaken for someone else and is BURIED, he now begins his JOURNEY to find a way to cure himself of becoming that RAGING SPIRIT, but in order to do so, he has to let everyone believe that he is dead, thus he will have to use a variety of disguises to keep his cover.

While the upcoming chapters will have action, more of it are like an emotional journey for Midoriya for he will be moving from one place to another to prevent others from recognizing him. With no one to turn to, he will have to deal with it himself.

Moreover, Takeo Tokuda will surely have something to do, as his investigative instinct tells him that he must find this Hulk and prove its existence by finding him, even if it means he would get into conflict with anyone and everyone.

This is sort of a homage to The Incredible Hulk TV series' recurring theme (or gag) between David Banner and Jack McGee (portrayed by the late Jack Colvin).

Preview:

Taking place after this chapter, Izuku Midoriya went to a city to figure out a way on where to start and how to find a way to cure himself, where he would find himself getting embroiled in a situation where he would encounter CORRUPT people…

Yup, this would start a new story arc that might last several chapters…which also include some action from the Hulk…

See you next month…

Reviews are welcomes…

Incredible Izuku

My Hero Academia is owned by Kohei Horikoshi and Bones
Hulk is owned by Marvel Comics
The Incredible Hulk (TV Series) is owned by Kenneth Johnson, CBS and NBC

Hello, and many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story advances as we enter a new story arc, where Izuku Midoriya tries to move on after what happened at the last chapter, and he is about to encounter more hardships as he moves from town to town…

Well, read on and see what the results are…and this is where things take a turn…

Two weeks have passed since that incident, and the scene shifts somewhere within Tokyo, where life goes on, and everything within the streets appeared to be business as usual, where people are walking the streets doing their usual routine, such as going to office, schools, malls, and all of the sorts, and they seemed to be minding their own businesses until…

"EXTRA, EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!"

Some passerby were drawn by curiosity at the newspaper boy's advertising words, where they went to the newspaper stand to see what the fuss is all about, where they looked at the front page of the newspaper where the headlines says "TWO PERSONS MURDERED; THE INCREDIBLE HULK ON THE LOOSE…"

This seemed to piqued their curiosities and some began to buy the newspaper as they felt that this could be an interesting news, as they wanted to read something unique and the latest, while others were dismissive and they asked the newspaper boy if he is selling a cheap promotional alibi, which he said that he is just selling the newspapers and have no hand on whether the front page news is for real or not, saying that the news on the front page is based on what a reporter claims, and nothing else.

"Hey!"

"Is this news real?"

"I bet it's fake news!"

"You better not..."

"I'm just selling the newspaper, sirs, ma'am..."

"Are you sure you're selling this paper?"

"Or maybe you're just..."

If this turns out to be..."

This, however, did little to help, as the passerby who bought the paper read it but saw no pictures, and they began to ask the newspaper boy is this news is real or if it's a fake one, as they are having doubts about the article stating about the so-called Hulk, and they demand that the articles should produce proof if this Hulk exists or not.

"Seriously?"

"..."THE INCREDIBLE HULK"...?"

"Are you playing a prank on us?"

"Where are the pictures?"

"Yeah, where's the proof?"

"Before you run your mouth off you should show proof that this Hulk is for real or not..."

"And not someone like Hulk Hogan...he's yesterday's news!"

"Got that?"

-x-

Meanwhile, the scene shifts somewhere else around Musutafu, until coming to a huge corporate building, where it showed that it is where the news came from, which somewhat rivals that of the Daily Bugle, and the scene shows towards the top of the building where the name is displayed, which says "Juzo News", and there it zoomed towards the 30th floor, where the editor-in-chief, identified as Jinno Kamikaze, is having a rather rough day, as he got several phone calls from netizens who are plaguing him with non-stop queries about the article that is pointing out about the Hulk.

There he is forced to summon someone who appeared to be the cause of all this - his freelance journalist and employee Taneo Tokuda, and there he asks him if he is really serious about the article he publishes, and not as a way to attract attention, which caused him to sigh in exasperation, as he insisted at what he saw several weeks back, saying that he know what he saw, and how the article came to light due to being the SOLE WITNESS on what happened on that fateful night.

Tokuda reiterated that he saw the Hulk, whom he described as a human-like creature with green skin and is somewhat muscular, and said that he believes that the Hulk murdered Melissa Shield and Izuku Midoriya, which he is unaware that Midoriya is actually alive and being the Hulk, and stated that the Hulk is real and that it might commit murder again.

Thinking that his employee is becoming somewhat delusional, he urged him to stop making FANTASY-based articles and do real reporting that is happening around Musutafu, but he slammed his hand on the desk and talked back to his editor-in-chief, feeling insulted that he is thinking that he is crazy, and made it clear that she will show proof that the Hulk is real and show Japan that he means what he said.

"So you are saying that I'm a nutcase now, boss?"

"Tokuda!"

"I did not become an investigative journalist just to make myself look like a literary clown...I based my articles on what I saw...an what I saw on that fateful night that this Hulk caused the lab explosion...and killed two innocent people!"

"But you do not have proof!"

"And that is why I am here...to provide proof and prove that what I wrote is real!"

"Tokuda...you are getting out of line...and I could not tell if you are suffering from delusional stress or..."

"So you do think I'm crazy..."

"That's not..."

As the editor-in-chief and employee are bickering rather loudly, which can be heard outside Jinno's office, the scene shifts outside, where the vice editor, identified as Kyosuke Munakata, is listening, and he too is skeptical about Tokuda's claim about the Hulk, feeling that he is just doing that just to be recognized and felt that he should talk to Jinno about firing him in order to spare the company from further embarrassment. The company secretary, Chisa Yukizome, appeared to be worried, but Munakata assured to her that things will be okay.

While this seemed to calm her down, both were startled when Tokuda bursts out of the editor-in-chief's office, and he looked pissed, where Yukizome asks Tokuda where is he going, and there he tells her that he is going somewhere and find the Hulk, and produce proof that the creature exists, which Yukizome asks if Tokuda is really obsessed, which made him verbally retaliate.

"So now you think I'm crazy?"

"Um...that's not what I..."

"If you have nothing good to say...then don't make any comments!"

"...still, I am worried about you... the boss thinks that..."

"Which is why I'm leaving...I'm going to find the Hulk...and prove it to you...and Japan...that he exists...then you will soon know that I am doing my job professionally...and diligently!"

"So...you're going...right now...?"

"See you later."

"..."

After that, Tokuda storms off, and both Munakata and Yukizome looks on as Tokuda walked out and left, where minutes later they saw him boarded a car and leaves, and Munakata wondered if Tokuda is really serious or is just delusional. While he did receive reports about the arson incident, he still refuses to believe Tokuda's claims, and he secretly intend to talk to Jinno about Tokuda's behavior.

Izuku Midoriya - an normal teenage boy living with an ordinary family…living in an ordinary neighborhood and leads an ordinary life...but he is born Quirkless, and slowly lives a rather lonely life. However, his ordinary life was shattered upon discovering that he has stage 4 cancer of the brain, and was given less than half a year to live…

Given by an offer from a good Samaritan... Izuku took the chance and underwent a secret chemotherapy session in an effort to eradicate the cancer within him. Then, without the good Samaritan's knowledge, he made a secret chemotherapy session in secret, and an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.

And now, when Izuku Midoriya grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs…

The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter...

The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. Izuku Midoriya is believed to be dead. And he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him…

Ch. 7: Shinshigai de no toraburu

Two months have passed since THAT INCIDENT happened back somewhere within Musutafu, and it was still fresh from his mind, and he was both saddened and sullen at the fact that he had to leave the place he was born and grew up, but it cannot be helped as he felt that this is for the best, not only for him but for everyone that he is close to.

The scene shifts somewhere that is far from the city, where you can see what appeared to be a barn, where someone is seen raking and collecting hay, milking cows and doing other odd jobs. The scene zoomed closer where you can see someone, who appeared to have a rather petite build, looking like a teenager, and sports his usual hairstyle.

He appeared to sport a beard, and has a rather sullen look. It turn out that this person is actually Izuku Midoriya, and he is using a fake beard to disguise himself to prevent others from recognizing him, for a very valid reason, even though it emotionally hurts him.

The land owner and his wife noticed that Midoriya appeared silent and sullen since coming here a month ago, and they wondered if something happened to him, unaware of what he went through. Because of the disguise Midoriya used, the couple are unaware of the teen boy's identity.

They were tempted to ask him as they pondered on whether to help him or not.

"Honey..."

"Yes, dear?"

"Have you noticed that guy? He's been like this for the past four weeks."

"Indeed. I wondered if something tragic happened to him..."

"I feel sorry for him."

"What are you suggesting?"

"I am thinking..."

"Eh?"

About two months ago, Midoriya learned that he has a late-stage brain cancer which would cause his imminent death, but was approached by a good samaritan, who happened to be a radiologist, and offered to give him free chemotherapy sessions, which Midoriya accepted and left home in secret as he is determined to be cured.

However, unforeseen factors took place and Midoriya unknowingly got an accidental overdose of gamma radiation, and whenever he gets angry, outraged or having extreme bouts of heavy emotions, it triggers a transformation that would change the shape of his body, transforming him into a 7-foot tall, green-skinned creature that would become the Hulk.

After his first unintentional transformation, he and the samaritan, identified as Melissa Shield, attempted to reverse the process, but another unforeseen factor played a role which caused a fire within the lab, mortally wounding Melissa, despite the creature managing to save her life, but a witness mistook the creature being the killer, and became the suspect of a double-murder after a charred body was found which resembled that of Midoriya's, and is erroneously believe that the body belonged to Midoriya, which Midoriya's family believed it.

After the FUNERAL, when everyone left, the REAL Izuku Midoriya showed up and glanced at the tombstone where his name is engraved. He was heartbroken that his family and friends think that he perished in the fire, but he realized that he must let everyone think he is dead until he find away to cure himself from becoming the RAGING SPIRIT that dwells within him.

He then left and never return, intending to avoid anyone he knows and is forced to use assumed names to avoid detection.

Right now Midoriya, using the assumed name of Izu Mastobeishon, is finishing in collecting the hays, and the land owner came and told Midoriya that his shift is up and paid him, which Midoriya nodded and thanked the owner and is ready to leave, and the land owner asks if he has a place to stay, commenting that he appeared TOO YOUNG to travel, and he offered him a place to stay in their farm.

His wife also offered to ADOPT him if he wants to.

Midoriya sensed that he is being offered a place to stay, and recognized their generosities, but he knew it is risky due to his condition and does not wish to have danger and misfortune befall the couple, and fearing that he might get recognized, Midoriya said that he has a relative somewhere out of town and said that he is going to be okay.

The land owner asks if he is sure, believing that the disguised boy needed some emotional support, but Midoriya kindly declines, thanked him and is getting ready to leave.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"You don't have to go. I can help you get a job so..."

"Thank you for the offer, but I have to decline."

"Are you sure? We can help you if you have..."

"I'll be fine. Thank you. I appreciate it a lot."

"..."

"..."

After that, the disguised Midoriya left the farm and walked quietly towards the main road, uncertain of which place he would end up at, and the couple noted that Midoriya appeared to have something that is burdening him and they wondered if they did the right thing in letting him go, feeling that he might have difficulty in facing whatever problem is hounding him.

The wife is considering in going after Midoriya, but her husband gently tells her not to, guessing that Midoriya is being considerate in not wanting others to be a burden to him, and assured to her that Midoriya appeared to be able to face whatever problem came to his way.

"Let him go, honey."

"But...dear..."

"I believe he is doing this for our sakes."

"Eh? Why would...?"

"He seemed to be carrying some kind of burden...and he does not want to drag us in."

"That poor lad."

"I am sure he can overcome it."

"I hope you are right..."

-x-

Two weeks later, the scene shifts somewhere within the Honshu prefecture, where the place is revealed to be Roppongi, which the place is breamed with lots of landmark, such as shopping district and all, bjt also the place where several high-profile political entities are based, and even high-profile lawyers who became the talk of the town.

The place appeared to be thriving, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical in nature - cheaper prices and practicality. You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.

"Hello...please by our items..."

"They are cheaper..."

"...they are in good working condition..."

"You can try them if you like..."

"I promise you will like them..."

"I promise you will get your money's worth..."

"Here are the items on our display..."

"Pick the one you like..."

The area in question turns out to be Akihabara, and the area is thriving and many merchants set up shops to attract passing customers and entice them to buy their products by showing the items and offered cheaper prices while assuring them that the items are in good working condition, and their marketing strategy worked as some passing customers were intrigued after hearing that so e gadgets are being sold in cheaper prices, and they began asking the merchants what itens do they sell, and the merchants showed to the customers the items they are selling, ranging from smartphones to android tablets and even laptops.

Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:

- Nintendo Famicom

- Super Famicom

- Sega Genesis

- Game Boy Color

- Game Boy Advance

- Neo Geo

- Sony Playstation

- Sega Saturn

- Nintendo 64

In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such ckassical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles such as the Sony Playstation 4, the Microsoft X-Box One and the Nintendo Wii, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.

"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"

"Yes...they ate cool..."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."

"Hmm..."

"Would you like to try them...?"

"..."

"I promise you will not regret it..."

At the streets, a newspaper boy is selling newspaper, announcing the trending news, which somewhat caught the ears of passing pedestrians, as some are interested in the latest news, and even willing to buy the newspaper to read the latest headlines, such as a ROOKIE attorney who won a rather difficult case that led to the exoneration of a victim accused of frustrated murder and exposed the true culprit.

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it! A rookie attorney won a landmark case! Victim exonerated and the culprit exposed!"

"A rookie attorney?"

"That must be the GUY I heard..."

"This is news!"

"I'm gonna read it..."

"Hey! Newspaper boy!"

"I want a newspaper!"

"Me too!"

Much later, the scene shifts inside a subway station where the place is revealed to be Kawasaki City, and it shows that the disguised Midoriya is there, having arrived and found a seat, where he appeared to be disenchanted, disillusioned, jaded and at wit's end, as he is slowly running out of money and had difficulty in finding a temporary job as he finds out that a lot of requirement is needed, which he feels that it is risky as his true identity might be discovered, as he is aware that an INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST is hot on his trail.

He slowly became emotionally detached and began to wonder if he did the right thing in accepting Melissa's offer of being cured of cancer which led to his current condition, which also led to her accidental death and becoming the RAGING SPIRIT that dwells within him.

His musing was interrupted, however, as he heard a commotion, where a lone passenger, who is visibly seven months pregnant, was being harassed by two men, who appeared to be high on drugs, and they are visibly intending to harm the woman's BABY BUMP, and the terrified woman pleaded to the men to stop, but they were so high that they do not care what happen next.

"No...please don't!"

"Check it out!"

"A basketball!"

"We got a target practice!"

"No...it's a soccer ball...let's play football!"

"No...don't! Don't hit my baby!"

"Let's do it!"

"Right on!"

Midoriya was alarmed, as he sees that there were no other passengers around aside from himself, thus there is no one who could come to help her, as he is worried that if he tries to intervene, he might lose control and ended up what he feared most, and tries to ignore the scene in front of him, hoping that someone might come and scare the men away.

Unfortunately, no one came, and the addicted men began to beat up the pregnant woman and began to kick her stomach, she screamed, which the sight made Midoriya compelled to step in and confront the addicts, telling them to stop, which the two men arrogantly confronted him instead. In their drug-induced states, they appeared to be more than happy to beat up someone besides the pregnant woman, seeing Midoriya as an ideal PUNCHING BAG.

"Hey…check this out…"

"Yeah…"

"A pipsqueak perfect for a punching bag…"

"Wanna give it a try?"

"I'm in!"

"Let's do it!"

"Ha-ha!"

"Take this!"

The two men began to punch Midoriya, and then kicked him on his groin before lifting him and threw him at the seats, before continuing in beating up the pregnant woman. The pain he received, his helplessness in helping the pregnant woman, and the sounds of malevolent laughter from the two drug addicted muggers, were enough to put Midoriya in an outraged-induced emotion, and thus, you can see his eyeballs turning WHITE, and the metamorphosis commences.

The scene shifts to Midoriya, where you can see that his eyes, particularly his eyeballs, has indeed went WHITE, and moments later his voice slowly changed tone, where a small growl can be heard, and as the two men slowly stopped after hearing something, while the scene behind the train seats showed that Midoriya appearing to underwent a CHANGE, as his skin color slowly changed to green, his body changed built along with his height.

Moreover, when his body shape changed, his clothes began to stretch until it ripped, which shows his now revealing muscles. His biceps became muscular as his upper clothes gave way, and so are his legs which also became muscular, thus his pants got ripped along with his shoes. His fake beard fell off, which now revealed his full face.

There Midoriya changed into the creature he tried to avoid, and the two men stared wide-eyed in horror upon seeing what just happened.

Izuku Midoriya underwent a stunning transformation, from a 5'3 boy to a 7-foot muscular mutated human; green-skinned, and his hair also turned green, yet it retained its hairstyle. The mutated Midoriya, who now facially resembled a different person (he now resembled someone who looks like a Japanese version of Lou Ferrigno), is now only in its ripped remains of his shirt which fell to the floor, now only in his ripped pants and barefoot, flexed its muscles and roared aloud, angry and ready to get outraged.

To Be Continued...

The Lonely Man Theme (by Joe Harnel)
(Ending theme of The Incredible Hulk)

Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is not much of an action showed here other than a few appearances of a few characters from the visual novel-turned anime - Danganronpa series, serving as Tokuda's colleagues in the Juzo News company, the dramatic moments make up for it, which Taneo Tokuda has begun his search for his target in order to prove to his boss and other peers that his story is real and intends to prove it.

Okay, you probably wondered what this "ace attorney" means and what significance it holds. Yup, this new story arc is partially inspired from another visual novel-turned anime series, Ace Attorney (known in the US as Phoenix Wright), which involves a rookie attorney who would slowly but steadily climb the ranks of lawyers making a name for themselves, which involves Ryuuichi Naruhodo, and his strong sense of justice would motivate him to help, but this also brings in a conflict which will be elaborated in later chapters.

What significance this guy have? You'll soon find out in the next upcoming chapters.

Take note, however, that in this crossover-type story arc, the characters of Ace Attorney/Phoenix Wright series will be addressed in their original, Japanese names, since this fic is set in Japan.

And finally, Midoriya is forced to become…YOU KNOW WHAT…and yet it ended in a cliffhanger. The story arc just started and more are on the way, as the transformed Midoriya is about to ROCK the…you get my drift…

Preview:

Midoriya became the Hulk and caused a ruckus before fleeing, and the ensuing disturbance will no doubt put Midoriya in trouble, and this in turn will attract the attention of a certain attorney…

See you on the next week…

Reviews are welcomed…

Chapter Text

Incredible Izuku

The Incredible Hulk (TV Series) is owned by Kenneth Johnson, CBS and NBC

Hello, and many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story advances as Midoriya goes into action…involuntarily and that would soon land him into trouble…

Well, read on and see what the results are…and this is where things take a turn…

At the road, which leads towards Roppongi, Taneo Tokuda is traveling by taxi and is just 10 minutes away from arriving there, and he is pondering on making his next move, as he realized that his talents as a investigative reporter do have some drawback, as he is unable to guess or deduce the Hulk's next move, and that there were no reports of any sightings, yet he is not deterred and is determined to prove that his story is true and he is bent on proving to his superiors, his critics and detractors that the Hulk is real.

By then the taxi driver just noticed his passenger and slowly recognized him, but then he became skeptical after recalling that he read his article on a newspaper and there he began asking him questions in regard to the article he wrote, as he said that he has trouble believing the story he wrote, stating that there were no pictures to prove that his claim about the Hulk is accurate.

Of course Tokuda is quick to defend his article and vowed that he will prove his claim that the Hulk is real, and promised the taxi driver that he will soon see that the Hulk really exists and is not a made-up story or a fabric of an imagination..

"So…you think you can prove what your articles says?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Still…I'm still having trouble believing your article. A guy…almost 7 feet tall…green-skinned…sounds like you just announced that there's an abominable snowman or a big foot in Japan…"

"I know what I saw…and soon I will prove to you all."

"Looking forward to that, sir…"

"You will."

As the minutes passed, the taxi is nearing the Roppongi district, which just near the subway station, and they have no idea of the situation that is about to take place, and for Tokuda, this is something he would do to make things happen, no matter what it takes and no matter the costs, as he is unwilling to take more criticisms of being a FOOL to the media company where he is working, and he is bent on proving his boss wrong that he is imagining things.

He then glanced at the streets, which was quite busy, and there the taxi driver told Tokuda that they are now at Roppingi, and that this place is a haven for some merchants and shoppers, as well as being a frequent place where politicians and attorneys usually come here to dine, stroll and hold meetings in regards to law and order.

Tokuda just nodded as he is somewhat not interested, only thinking about finding the Hulk and provide pictures to prove his claim.

Izuku Midoriya - an normal teenage boy living with an ordinary family…living in an ordinary neighborhood and leads an ordinary life...but he is born Quirkless, and slowly lives a rather lonely life. However, his ordinary life was shattered upon discovering that he has stage 4 cancer of the brain, and was given less than half a year to live…

Given by an offer from a good Samaritan... Izuku took the chance and underwent a secret chemotherapy session in an effort to eradicate the cancer within him. Then, without the good Samaritan's knowledge, he made a secret chemotherapy session in secret, and an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.

And now, when Izuku Midoriya grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs…

The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter...

The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. Izuku Midoriya is believed to be dead. And he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him…

Ch. 8: Machigatte taiho sa reta

At the subway station, Izuku Midoriya is pondering on what to do next as he has no idea where to go or how to start his mission to find a way to get back to normal, but his pondering was interrupted, however, as he heard a commotion, where a lone passenger, who is visibly seven months pregnant, was being harassed by two men, who appeared to be high on drugs, and they are visibly intending to harm the woman's BABY BUMP, and the terrified woman pleaded to the men to stop, but they were so high that they do not care what happen next.

"No...please don't!"

"Check it out!"

"A basketball!"

"We got a target practice!"

"No...it's a soccer ball...let's play football!"

"No...don't! Don't hit my baby!"

"Let's do it!"

"Right on!"

Midoriya was alarmed, as he sees that there were no other passengers around aside from himself, thus there is no one who could come to help her, as he is worried that if he tries to intervene, he might lose control and ended up what he feared most, and tries to ignore the scene in front of him, hoping that someone might come and scare the men away.

Unfortunately, no one came, and the addicted men began to beat up the pregnant woman and began to kick her stomach, she screamed, which the sight made Midoriya compelled to step in and confront the addicts, telling them to stop, which the two men arrogantly confronted him instead. In their drug-induced states, they appeared to be more than happy to beat up someone besides the pregnant woman, seeing Midoriya as an ideal PUNCHING BAG.

"Hey…check this out…"

"Yeah…"

"A pipsqueak perfect for a punching bag…"

"Wanna give it a try?"

"I'm in!"

"Let's do it!"

"Ha-ha!"

"Take this!"

The two men began to punch Midoriya, and then kicked him on his groin before lifting him and threw him at the seats, before continuing in beating up the pregnant woman. The pain he received, his helplessness in helping the pregnant woman, and the sounds of malevolent laughter from the two drug addicted muggers, were enough to put Midoriya in an outraged-induced emotion, and thus, you can see his eyeballs turning WHITE, and the metamorphosis commences.

The scene shifts to Midoriya, where you can see that his eyes, particularly his eyeballs, has indeed went WHITE, and moments later his voice slowly changed tone, where a small growl can be heard, and as the two men slowly stopped after hearing something, while the scene behind the train seats showed that Midoriya appearing to underwent a CHANGE, as his skin color slowly changed to green, his body changed built along with his height.

Moreover, when his body shape changed, his clothes began to stretch until it ripped, which shows his now revealing muscles. His biceps became muscular as his upper clothes gave way, and so are his legs which also became muscular, thus his pants got ripped along with his shoes. His fake beard fell off, which now revealed his full face.

There Midoriya changed into the creature he tried to avoid, and the two men stared wide-eyed in horror upon seeing what just happened.

Izuku Midoriya underwent a stunning transformation, from a 5'3 boy to a near-seven-foot tall muscular mutated human; green-skinned, and his hair also turned green, yet it retained its hairstyle. The mutated Midoriya, who now facially resembled a different person (he now resembled a Japanese version of Lou Ferrigno), is now only in its ripped remains of his shirt which fell to the floor, now only in his ripped pants and barefoot, flexed its muscles and roared aloud, angry and ready to get outraged.

The two addicts were quite shaken at the sight they were seeing, as they never encountered anything like this, yet due to their drug-induced states, they believe that they are just seeing things and decided to brush off what they saw and claim that they are just hallucinating and continue beating the pregnant woman, and after some kicks, they succeeded in hitting her stomach, and the woman screamed at what they are doing, but the addicts just laughed at their handiwork.

"Ha-ha-ha!"

"Yeah!"

"Kick that son of a bitch!"

"Wanna see blood!"

"Want to see a miscarriage!"

"Come on, bitch! Scream some more!"

"Or we'll kill your baby bitch!"

"Scream! Ha-ha-ha!"

As they are enjoying their homicidal spree, they did not notice that the Hulk is approaching them, and there he roared at the two, which spooked them to a degree as they got a close-up look, and they started to wonder if they really are seeing things or not, and he suggested to his cohort to see if the Hulk is for real or is just a life-sized balloon, which his cohort eagerly agreed, wanting to hurt someone else just for the fun and thrill, due to their drug-induced stats.

"Whoa…"

"Check this out…"

"A balloon!"

"Want me to burst it?"

"Sure!"

"Heh-heh…watch this!"

"Go for it!"

"Here I come!"

As the cohort punched the Hulk, he wailed in pain as he felt he just punch a thick, cemented wall, and he told his partner that he just hit something thick and felt that he broke his wrist, which his partner stared wide-eyed, having seen it and finally got a clear look at the Hulk, seeing that he is not seeing things, and he even got more terrified as the Hulk grabbed his cohort and threw him through the window, and ended up colliding with some passing-through passengers who are about to board the train.

The remaining addict was starting to get scared as the Hulk approached him, and the addict tried to talk his way out, which did little to change the outcome and he began to tremble and beg for mercy, saying that he will give him a lot of drugs as long as the Hulk would not lay a finger on him, which the Hulk only growled in anger.

"E-easy…!"

"Rrrr…"

"Calm down…"

"Rrrr…"

"I…I won't hurt y-you…"

"Rrrr…"

"L-let's…make a deal! Y-yeah…! We can work this out…!"

"RRROOOOAAARR!"

Outside the train, the passengers huddled around at seeing the knocked-out addict, and then at the broken window, as they felt that there is trouble here and assumed that vandals are behind this and they began telling one another to call for the police as they felt that the vandals are drug addicts and that things might spiral out of control if left unrestrained.

The passengers began to complain that things like these always happen at the start of the day and wished that the politicians would do something about the problems such as drug addictions, pushers and the such, feeling that things always happened and that there are times that drug pushers always find a way out when put to trials.

"Goodness…"

"Those addicts…they are at it again…!"

"Can't the politicians do something?"

"It's always like this…"

"Yeah…those pushers must've bribed the judges to acquit them…"

"The justice system sucked…"

"Someone ought to do something…"

"Let's board the train and get out of here…"

However, the passengers' complaining were interrupted when the train door was broken down and fell to the floor, with the remaining addict being thrown out along the way, and there the Hulk came out, roaring aloud and flexed its muscles, and this terrified the passengers as they never saw a green-skinned entity before and believed him to be a monster of sorts, and they began to panic and ran off.

"EEEKKK!"

"KKKYYYAAAHHH!"

"GGYYYAAHH!"

"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?"

"A FLASHER!"

"A MONSTER!"

"SOMEONE SAVE ME!"

"CALL THE COPS!"

As the passengers ran towards the stairs leading to the streets, the Hulk ran off towards the other direction, and in the midst of the panic, this attracted the roaming police, and there they asked the panicking passengers what happened and they were rather taken aback at being told on what they saw, and they had a hard time believing at the description of the attacker.

"What the heck?"

"A green-skinned what?"

"Must be a flasher…"

"Geez…on the first day of the week…"

"Come on…let's find this guy and bring him in…we don't want those pukin' politicians grill us again…"

"Yeah…drug pushers and addicts are one thing…but this…?"

"Let's deal with that later…"

"Yeah, yeah…"

The policemen made their way through and saw the broken sliding doors of the train, and as they peeked inside they saw the woman on the brink of losing consciousness with blood on the floor and they radioed for an ambulance, while another group of policemen looked around and began to search for the intruder, intent to apprehending him to preserve the PEACE of Roppongi.

They began to squabble as they believe that this is the work of drug addicts who terrorizes passengers, and they even refused to believe about the eyewitnesses' claims of a GREEN-SKINNED MONSTER roaming the subway and assumed that it was just a drug addict in cosplay, and decided to try find someone and bring him in in order to avoid getting in the face of politicians who might criticize their department for another claim of ineptness.

"A what…?"

"A green-skinned what?"

"Just ignore them…"

"Geez…what if they're…"

"Come on…a monster in the middle of a subway…? Rubbish! There's no such thing as a Japanese Frankenstein…!"

"Yeah…drug pushers and addicts are one thing…but this…?"

"Just find anyone! If we find one…then we bring him in! That way we have something to show to those blasted bureaucrats!"

"Yeah, yeah…"

Not far, the scene shifts at an area near the staircase, where Midoriya slowly reverted to normal, and he is only clad in his ripped remains of his pants and is barefooted, and as he is trying to figure out what happened, and he slowly realized what just occurred, and he took out a spare fake beard from his pocket and attached it on his face to disguise himself again.

By then the policemen arrived and saw Midoriya, and did not recognize his face or actual because of his fake beard, and they huddled on what to do, and they came to an agreement that they needed a scapegoat to cover the alibi needed to belie the witnesses' claims about a green-skinned monster, and they agreed to use Midoriya as a way to show that the cops are doing their job well, and they began to handcuff Midoriya and took him away, and a disoriented Midoriya asks what is going on here.

"Huh?"

"Come with us."

"Huh? What…?"

"You're under arrest…"

"What…what for…?"

"Frustrated assault…frustrated infanticide through miscarriage…malicious mischief…public scandal…"

"Eh…? I don't…"

"You have the right to remain silent…now shut up and come along."

-x-

At the streets, Tokuda noticed the passengers emerging from the subway tunnel in a state of panic, and the driver wondered what just happened, and Tokuda paid the driver and left, where he approached one of the terrified passengers and asked what happened, and there he is taken aback at what he was told, which slhe felt that this is his chance to take pictures of his target and asks the terrified passenger where the Hulk is.

"Did you just say…?"

"A monster! There's a monster in the subway!"

"What does he looked like?"

"I don't know! And I don't care!"

"Is he tall?"

"Yes!"

"Green-skinned?"

"Yes! Whatever! Just get out of my way!"

Tokuda then made his way towards the subway platform, unaware that his target was already taken away and that he has no idea what occurred there and yet all he could think about is to take pictures of the Hulk and send them to his office.

Hello, and many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story arc will continue as Midoriya is seemingly arrested for the wrong reason, so check out what would happen next as Tokuda is seemingly close in trying to unmask his target...

To find out, read on and enjoy!

At the streets, Tokuda noticed the passengers emerging from the subway tunnel in a state of panic, and the driver wondered what just happened, seeing that the subway passengers are in a state of fear and terror, which the driver thought that something must have set things off, and Tokuda sensed that his TARGET must be there and gave the driver his pay.

"Whoa…now that's what I call a RUSH HOUR…"

"Hold on…"

"Hmm…those passengers looked like they got spooked or something…"

"Got spooked…? Then…! Mister…stop right here!"

"Huh? You getting off…?"

"Yeah…and here's my payment! Keep the change!"

"Hey…you sure…?"

"Yeah…and thanks!"

As Tokuda paid the driver and left, he went towards the stairs leading to the subway and approached one of the terrified passengers and asked what happened, and there he stared in an interested way at what he was told, which he felt that this is his big chance to take pictures of his target and asks the terrified passenger where the Hulk is.

"Did you just say…?"

"A monster! There's a monster in the subway!"

"What does he looked like?"

"I don't know! And I don't care!"

"Is he tall?"

"Yes!"

"Green-skinned?"

"Yes! Whatever! Just get out of my way!"

Tokuda then made his way towards the subway platform, unaware that his target was already taken away and that he has no idea what occurred there and yet all he could think about is to take pictures of the Hulk and send them to his office.

However, Tokuda is seen struggling his way towards the subway as the terrified passengers are pushing him out of the way, and he tried to politely make his way through yet the fleeing passengers only cared about getting to safety.

"EEEKKK!"

"KKKYYYAAAHHH!"

"GGYYYAAHH!"

"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?"

"A FLASHER!"

"A MONSTER!"

"SOMEONE SAVE ME!"

"CALL THE COPS!"

Izuku Midoriya - an normal teenage boy living with an ordinary family…living in an ordinary neighborhood and leads an ordinary life...but he is born Quirkless, and slowly lives a rather lonely life. However, his ordinary life was shattered upon discovering that he has stage 4 cancer of the brain, and was given less than half a year to live…

Given by an offer from a good Samaritan... Izuku took the chance and underwent a secret chemotherapy session in an effort to eradicate the cancer within him. Then, without the good Samaritan's knowledge, he made a secret chemotherapy session in secret, and an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.

And now, when Izuku Midoriya grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs…

The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter...

The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. Izuku Midoriya is believed to be dead. And he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him…

Ch. 9: Ēsu bengoshi

At the subway station, the police drags an already-handcuffed Midoriya away, to the point of manhandling him in a rather inhumane way, as the cops made it appeared that they exerted efforts to bring down the culprit, and as they head for the stairs, one passerby saw how the cops are treating the disguised Naegi, feeling that he just witnessed a police brutality.

He asked them what just happened, which the cop said that the suspect is arrested for assaulting a pregnant woman and causing a violent scene that sparked panic and a stampede. The passerby glanced at the disguised Midoriya and noted his petite and short build, and he suspected that Midoriya is a FALL GUY and pointed out that it can't be him.

However, the other cop shoved the passerby back and threatened to arrest him for obstruction, which the passerby protested.

"Back off, asshole."

"What?"

"Get in the way again or you'll get it."

"That guy can't be the culprit...he..."

"He's the suspect and that is that. Now get lost."

"But..."

"Say another word or we book you in."

"..."

As the cops continued to give Midoriya a rough handling while taking him away, the passerby was secretly recording the scene before sneaking his way around until he saw the assault victim being put on a stretcher, and she is begging paramedics to save her baby.

"Hang in there, miss..."

"Please..."

"We'll get you help."

"My baby...save...my baby..."

"Please relax. We are trained professionals..."

"Save...my baby..."

"We are conducting first aid..."

"Damn it! Save my baby!"

The passerby then asked the remaining passengers what happened, and all they could say is that some prankster is FLASHING and causing trouble, stating that it was tall, muscular, green, and only in a ripped pants. The passerby was quite dumbfounded and asked for clarification, which the remaining passengers said that is all they know and they do not care.

"Huh? A guy you say? Only in his pants? Tall, green and muscled?"

"Are you deaf?"

"That's what I said!"

"The guy must be a flasher!"

"We don't care...just buzz off!"

"We want to get on the train!"

"Scram or else!"

"..."

The passerby, identified as Masashi Yahari, then recalled seeing Midoriya being hauled away, and he rushes out of the subway station and saw the police car pushing Midoriya inside, and asked the cops if Midoriya is the culprit, stating that the passengers he asked claimed that the troublemaker is different in size and built, but the cop threatened to have Yahari arrested if he does not back off, which he backed away as the police car leaves the scene.

Yahari became worried as he felt sorry for Midoriya, believing that he is just a homeless person being made a scapegoat, but then something hit him and decided to head to another direction and hoped that a certain someone might help Midoriya in having his name cleared of any wrongdoing.

Meanwhile, Tokuda was already at the subway station and saw the wrecked train doors on the ground, and while disappointed that he was unable to get a glimpse of the Hulk, he asked some of the passengers here and while some ignored him, others provided some description which gave him some encouraging hope when the descriptions they gave matched that of the Hulk's appearance.

"Yeah...saw it..."

"He's tall..."

"Muscled-looking...makes him pass up as a Schwarzenegger rip-off..."

"I think the guy is on steroids...never seen a guy that muscular..."

"He's green...that's all I can say..."

"I think he's on drugs...running around only in his pants..."

"Told you what I know...got to go..."

"Get lost, asshole."

By then cops came and ordered everyone to vacate the station pending investigation, and when they told Tokuda to leave as well, he stated that he needed to be here to find evidence about the Hulk, showing a tape recording about eyewitness accounts about what the Hulk did several minutes ago, only to be mocked by the cops, saying that everyone is green, such as green with envy and green-minded ones such as perverts.

Another cop then puts on a trench coat and a hat, then a green eye mask, where he said that he is green...as in the Green Hornet. This caused the other cops to laugh aloud and made fun of Tokuda, saying he is such a poor excuse for a reporter who claimed to see a green guy who might be a Martian from outer space.

"Ha-ha-ha!"

"There you have it, sir..."

"The GREEN GUY!"

"Yeah...I'm the Green Hornet! I got a green hat and a green mask!"

"And he's green-minded!"

"Better be careful, sor...he might go green in perversity..."

"He even might shoot out GREEN SPERM..."

"Ha-ha-ha!"

Tokuda glared at the cops for wasting his time and left the scene, unwilling to screw with them as he resumes his search for the Hulk, believing that he is somewhere nearby, and the wrecked train doors are proof of it, and once he finds him, he will take pictures and show it to his boss and coworkers that the creature really existed.

-x-

Somewhere else, the scene shifts at what appeared to be an ordinary-looking office, and is being run by two people, in which the office is a law office, and the two persons, a male and a female, are staying, checking the files that appeared to be cold cases from recent months.

The two person are identified as:

- Ryuicchi Naruhodo

- Mayoi Arisato

Naruhodo is revealed to be the ACE ATTORNEY who made headlines as a rookie attorney who made TURNABOUTS in cases that involves robbery and murder. As Naruhodo is sighing while looking at the files, Arisato was arranging the other files when she saw a newspaper that was dated two months ago, and as she picked it up, she saw an article on the front page, which she showed it to Naruhodo.

After reading it, he sighed and told her not to waste time on articles like that as he thinks that it is just a wrong story at the wrong section, due to the story that he finds it quite absurd and lacked pictures to back up the claim.

"Don't waste time on that."

"Huh? Why not?"

"That article is only a waste of time."

"Really? The article says..."

"...an investigative reporter claiming to see a green-colored creature...dubbed the Hulk...well...because there is no picture, it's difficult to discern if that article is legitimate or not..."

"You think so?"

"I suppose..."

"..."

Suddenly, Yahari barges in and ended up crashing onto Naruhodo, and he is relieved to see him and shook the ace attorney in a comical way, urging him to help a homeless person who is being accused of causing trouble at the subway station.

Naruhodo stared at his friend and asked what he meant, and there Yahari showed him the smartphone video he took where Midoriya is being arrested, then the wrecked train doors on the floor, and the testimonies of some passengers about a green-colored guy in ripped pants scaring anyone. While initially not interested, he slowly relents after seeing the wrecked train door having deep dents.

By then he received a phone call which Naruhodo answered, and the caller turn out to be his friend and fellow attorney, Reiji Mitsurugi. Mitsurugi then told Naruhodo that there was an incident at the subway station where a pregnant woman was assaulted, and that a suspect is being taken in.

There Yahari interjected and said that is what he is talking about, and seeing a connection of sorts, Naruhodo asked Mitsurugi where the suspect is taken, and Mitsurugi said that his contact managed to get the station where Midoriya is taken in.

"...and that is the station where I was told..."

"I see."

"Do you intend to investigate, Naruhodo?"

"I might. From what Yahari said...it is possible that someone was made into a fall guy...and the real culprit is somewhere out there..."

"What do you mean...?"

"Meet me at the place...I'll fill you in."

"Very well."

"Okay. See you, Mitsurugi."

After getting the info, Naruhodo arranged the folders and told Arisato that the cold cases may have to wait as he is going to check out the subway incident and have a look at the culprit, sensing that Yahari may be telling the truth about Midoriya being a scapegoat after seeing him on the footage and noticed the person's height and build.

He also have a feeling that the incident might be connected as he is aware that drug trafficking is on the rise, as well as an alarming increase of drug users. He prepared himself as he is set to head for the police station where Midoriya is being taken.

-x-

Elsewhere, the scene shifts at what appeared to be a secret hideout, where various members of a secret organization are assembled, and the scene zoomed closer where you can see someone sitting at the middle of a meeting, consisting of shrewd businessmen and armed bodyguards. The person in question is wearing a white-colored business suit, eyeglasses and has an obese built.

He is identified as Byakuya the Kingpin, and he is seen eating a plateful of rice and fried chicken as he is hungry due to running a criminal network, and there one of his men arrived to tell him the news which Byakuya looked on in seriousness.

"Sir."

"Yes?"

"The two men are here."

"Really?"

"Yes. We managed to smuggle them out..."

"Good. Bring them here."

"At once, sir."

"..."

The henchman informed Byakuya that the two men who assaulted the pregnant woman are brought here, in which it was revealed that Byakuya the Kingpin has secret ties with some policemen and bribed them to clear the two men and frame someone to take the fall so that the two men won't squeal anything that would lead to his organization's exposure.

Byakuya is also aware that the two men are under his employ yet he is dismayed upon discovering that they have the penchant to use drugs and go high, which would explain why they assaulted the pregnant woman inside the train, but upon getting word that they got injured, he bribed the policemen to surrender the two men into his custody.

As the two men are brought before him, Byakuya is rather surprised to see the two men sporting deep bruises, their heads (almost their entire faces) bandaged, and a huge punch mark on their cheeks, and asked his henchman what happened to them, which the henchman said that he has no idea except that the two men kept on blabbering about a MUSCULAR GREEN GUY that roared LIKE A MONSTER and that the two are shaken to their wits.

"What was that...?"

"That's all that I hear since smuggling them out of the hospital..."

"Green guy they say...?"

"That's what they keep blabbering about."

"Damn."

"Sir?"

"I bet they are high on drugs again..."

"That's what I'm thinking, sir."

The Lonely Man Theme (by Joe Harnel)
(Ending theme of The Incredible Hulk)

Hope you liked this chapter, and while there is no action showed here, it served as an introductory part as it featured characters from two visual novel series.

First, it featured characters from the CAPCOM game, Ace Attorney (aka the Phoenix Wright series), and they will play a role in this story arc. A note here, the characters will be addressed by their original, Japanese names since the setting is in Japan...

Second, the Togami impostor from Danganronpa 2 appeared, where he is being portrayed as the main antagonist, and here in this arc he will be addressed as Byakuya the Kingpin...for a reason…

Midoriya gets arrested, yet this attracted the attention of the ace attorney, thus the main characters of the two different series would meet soon...

Preview:

Ryuuichi Naruhodo meets with Midoriya, who does not recognize him due to the disguise, and offered to help clear his name, only to be turned down. This would attract suspicion as Midoriya doesn't want to go to trial for a reason.

Byakuya the Kingpin is making a move to cover up the subway assault incident, which in turn attracts the characters of My Hero Academia and Ace Attorney series...

See you on the next week…
