Chapter Text
Izuku wasn’t sure if he had gone crazy. Sure, him and Bakugo rarely got along, but he wasn’t about to sit by and let his life end. No way! All Might was wrong, he could be a hero, even without a quirk! Izuku’s hands fumbled around a bit as he struggled to insert the medal into the watch. As he ran forward, he pushed through a few outliers further ahead in the crowd. Whisper flew behind Izuku, bamboozled. “Izuku! You are far too young to throw your life away!” Whisper said loudly, trying to talk over the chain-reactive explosions echoing through the alley. Izuku was going to reply, but he found himself almost being sent flying through the air by a wave of smoke. When he finally gained his footing, he called out to Whisper, but got no reply. “I'm gonna have to do this on my own…” Izuku murmured, managing to insert the red medal into the watch. Izuku’s hand was slightly trembling as he spoke. “I need your help, Blazion!”. As Izuku called out, the watch began flashing and sparkling colors, before a red pillar of light came out. A voice spoke out from the watch. “Summoning; Brave! Sumo shave, Flavo engrave, Flas-” Izuku cut off the watch, and smacked the lens. “Cmon! Activate already!” Izuku blurted loudly. The watch then paused, then spoke with something that sounded like shameful annoyance. “Quick Summon Activated.” Izuku could barely see through the smoke, but he saw a familiar fiery lion Yo-Kai jump out the watch, before the pillar of red light disappeared. Blazion began screaming as usual. “BLAZIIIIIONNNNNNNNNMNNN!!!!” The scream immediately cleared almost all the smoke from the alleyway instantly. The pro heroes on the scene immediately squinted their eyes at the timid, green haired boy standing in the center of the alley. “Get back before you hurt yourself young man!” A random hero stated, but Izuku began running forward towards the sludge monster again, Blazion running beside him. Izuku looked down at the short Yo-Kai before speaking. “Blazion! Could you lend me some of your power to stop that monster?” Blazion…screamed as usual. “BLAZE!” Blazion then dove into Izuku’s body. At first, Izuku thought Blazion had bailed on him, but Izuku felt his fist catch on fire, he instinctively screamed, but it didn't burn his hand. Before he could question much, his body moved on his own, as if he was being controlled. He jumped nearly 20 feet through the air, and delivered a punch to the side of the sludge monster. An eye then popped out on the side of the villain Izuku hit. The villain spoke with rage. “You're that kid who got me caught by All Might earlier! I’ll make your death painful!” Izuku felt his body move on it’s own again, as he jumped out of the way as a green sludge tentacle slammed on the ground. Once he landed, Izuku felt his hand aim forward, poised with fire. He then spoke out. “Blazion! We have to be careful with your fire! My friend is inside that monster!” Izuku was about to run forward and attempt to rip Bakugo out the monster, but a bookbag flew forward, hitting a nearby power box and knocking the faceplate off of it. He then heard someone scream. “Izuku! Shoot something at the box!” Before Izuku could process who it was, his hand shot a fireball at the exposed power box. Causing a blinding electrical blast of smoke and fire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izuku was blinded by the chain reaction. When the light dissipated, he noticed there was still lots of smoke, and the electrical flash bang made the villian let go of Bakugo. As Bakugo was limping away, he made eye contact with Izuku. Despite Izuku’s hair being on fire, and his eyes being reddish orange instead of their usual green hue, Katsuki immediately recognized him. Before he could make a remark, A large, burly, blonde man lands between them, before shouting “DEETRROITT SMASH!”. The wind from the punch causes the sludge villian behind Bakugo to dissipate, the villian then screamed something inaudible before turning into a small speck of slime. All Might then turns and looks down at Izuku, before helping Bakugo to his feet. When All Might see’s Izuku standing there, he’s quite shocked. He thought this boy was quirkless. But All Might says nothing about their previous conversation. “What you just did there was extremely noble young Midoriya…but vigilantism is a serious crime.” All Might felt guilty. The only reason he was able to get the strength to jump into action was because of Izuku and that boy who threw that backpack. Before, he had been reduced to a skinny man watching among the crowd, unable to do anything about the chaos. Izuku rubbed the back of his fiery head. “APOLOGIES ALL MIGHT! MY BODY MOVED WITHOUT THINKING!!” Izuku covered his mouth in slight shock at the outburst, he realized it was Blazion talking through him. All Might ignored the out of character outburst. “I suggest you get out here before the smoke clears Young Midoriya! I wouldn't like you being viewed as a vigilante…” Before Izuku could respond, All Might picked him up, and tossed him to the other side of the alley. With Blazion still possessing him, he landed quite easily. And as if right on cue, the smoke began to clear. And pro heroes and news reporters began pouring into the alley. As Izuku watched the scene, Blazion jumped out of him. “BLAZE!” Blazion gave a thumbs up, before turning into a cloud of purple smoke and disappearing. The second Blazion left his body though, he had a weird feeling…exhaustion? Odd, considering he had lots of sleep and had breakfast and lunch that day. Izuku wanted to run back into the alley and ask Bakugo if he was ok, but All Might was right, if he had been caught being a vigilante, his career as a hero would be over before it started. And so with that Izuku spun around, and began to walk home, before he got very far though, a familiar white ghost called out to him. “IZUKU! WAIT” Izuku turned around and saw Whisper flying towards him. Seemingly out of breath and coughing out smoke. Izuku’s eye’s widened before he replied. “Shoot! Whisper! I a-almost forgot about you!” Whisper put on a shocked expression. “How could you forget the MOST LOYAL, CUNNING, INTELLIGENT YO-KAI BUTLER IZUKU?!” Izuku rubbed his neck in slight guilt. This was going to be a long walk home.

Nathan Adams was a very average boy. He was associated with the word average so much, he actually hated the word. But that didn’t really matter currently. He was present in the crowd during the sludge villain incident. Hell, he was the one who threw the backpack and gave Izuku an opening. Yet all these lame pro heroes and news reporters were swarming that Bakugo kid as if he wasn’t about to become history while fighting that villain. He had even sacrificed his book bag. It just wasn’t his day. Nate dusted off his red shirt and as he murmured. “Guess the stool never gets credit for being stepped on…” He then turned around and began walking home, but the day wasn’t a complete bust. He knew he wasn’t crazy, that was definitely Izuku Midoriya-using a quirk of all things! Nate pulled out his phone as he was walking and shot a text directly to Izuku, opting not to text their group chat. Maybe Izuku wanted to keep his quirk secret? ”Hey dude…when did you get a quirk?” Nate stared at the message a bit before hitting send. Right as Nate stepped onto his home street, a creepy looking, skinny blonde man stopped his path. “Hello there young man!” Nate looked up and practically screamed. “Who the heck are you?!” He said, activating his quirk in his palm. The man put his hands up in surrender. “Now, now! There is no need to be afraid…for I am "All Might!”

“-And that’s reason number 178 of why i’m the best Yo-Kai butler the world has EVER seen!” Whisper said, announcing proudly. Izuku was so out of it, he didn’t realize he was about to jay-walk. Whisper grabbed Izuku by his backpack, quite disappointed. “Izuku! You could’ve hurt yourself!” The sudden jolt from being grabbed snapped Izuku out of it. “Sorry Whisper…” But when Izuku looked up, he saw a man jay-walking from the other side of the street. The man was acting like he had just learnt how to walk yesterday. “Whisper…Is a Yo-Kai doing that?” Whisper yawned as Izuku spoke. “Yo-Kai aren’t the cause of everything Izuku! That guy has probably just…lost his marbles?” Izuku ignored Whisper’s explanation and Shined his watch lens at the man. It revealed a red cat with twin tails atop the man's head, looking like it was waiting to pounce on something. Izuku then grabbed whisper and turned his head to look directly at the cat. “That is DEFINITELY, a Y-Yo-Kai” Izuku said, as he and Whisper stared, trying to figure out what the cat was doing. Suddenly, as a truck came, the cat jumped off the person's head and screamed. “TASTE MY ULTIMATE PAWS OF FURY! NYANYANYAY!!” As the red cat screamed, his paws began moving extremely fast, hitting the front of the truck. Though it did pretty much nothing. The cat then flew into a nearby fire hydrant, as the truck drove off, completely spotless. Instinctively, Izuku ran up to the cat. “Are you ok?!” The cat then looked up, bamboozled. Izuku cut the cat off before it could say anything. “I’m Izuku Midoriya! And this is my Yo-Kai butler, Whisper.” Whisper then bowed at the cat. “Charmed!” The cat then got up, adjusting the circular blue bell on its neck. “I’m Jibanyan…” Izuku noticed the cat’s sad look. “What’s wrong, Jibanyan?” Jibanyan’s ears swooped downwards. “Well…I’ve been training to beat a truck nya…my ownyer’s last words to me were calling me lame for dying from getting hit by a truck.” Izuku’s eyes widened. He had almost forgotten that Yo-Kai are technically dead. “Well I'm not sure what was up with your owner Jibanyan…But you seem pretty cool to me!” Izuku then paused to think. “It’s not about what you can do on the outside…it’s about how you are on the inside! I'm sure you're a great cat!” Despite the very simple speech, Jibanyan was on the verge of tears. “You really think so Nya?” Izuku smiled and gave a thumbs up. “Of course! Maybe one day…you’ll beat a truck and prove your old owner wrong!” Jibanyan was bawling at this point, and before Izuku could say anything, Jibanyan handed him a medal, oddly enough, unlike Blazion’s medal, it was mostly pink. ”Call me whenever, Nya! I mean it! I really needed that!” Jibanyan then turned into a poof of purple smoke, disappearing. Whisper grumbled. “That was a very basic speech for my taste but…at least you got his medal.” Izuku shook his head. “It’s not about giving big speeches or just getting medals…I wanna be a hero to people, AND Yo-Kai!” Izuku looked down at his watch. “And p-part of being a hero is helping others, and sometimes help can be verbal!” Izuku announced loudly, Impressing Whisper. “My my Izuku…I’ve just met you today and you’re already growing!” Izuku smiles and looks at Whisper, before beginning to walk. “Like All Might says! Part of being a hero is growth!” Whisper floats behind Izuku, before raising an eyebrow. “Er…Who’s All Might?

“-And that’s fun fact 287 about All Might!” Izuku said proudly, stepping in front of his apartment door. Whisper had completely zoned out, but snapped out of it as Izuku used his house key and entered his apartment. “Well Whisper…this is my ho- JIBANYAN?” Izuku said, staring at Jibanyan sitting on his couch, eating a chocolate bar. Jibanyan yawned and looked up. “Oh…hey Nyadoriya..” Whisper flew over, flailing his arms. “What is the meaning of this cat?! Izuku demands you leave at once!” Izuku rubbed the back of his head. “It’s cool whisper…it’s not like my mom can see him.” Whisper’s pupils disappeared, as he froze in shock defeatedly. Izuku glanced at the tv and saw an odd music video of attractive women dressed in cat outfits, dancing and singing. “Jibanyan! My mom would kill me if she caught me watching this!” Jibanyan took another bite out of his chocolate bar. “Sorry by the way…I thought I would crash here a bit nya…your couch is realllll comfortable.” Izuku wondered how Jibanyan even got to his house, but said nothing and quietly sat in a chair, looking at his watch. As Whisper and Jibanyan began arguing in the background, he still looked at his watch in awe. He mumbled to himself quietly. “I r-really have…a quirk…I can...I can be a hero!”
