Chapter Text
Everyone has heard of the butterfly effect. The theory that minute changes can have incredible effects down the line.
A butterfly flaps its wings in Africa, and in the Atlantic a hurricane forms.
But sometimes, the butterfly’s wings are as powerful as a hurricane from the beginning, and things change quickly.
Sometimes, butterfly-wing crosswinds blow fate off course.

A series of seemingly random unconnected events occur.
Bribes change hands and four underdogs get elected to political positions. Two in the government. One on the hero board. And one becomes the police commissioner.
The heads of three major news networks are replaced with people sympathetic to a certain cause, or at least liable to be bought.
A skinny man named Toshinori, with clothes too big for his form, trains a skinny boy with a heart too big for his head.
A centuries-old villain gains a simple quirk, one that induces fear and dampens reactions in a radius.
A symbol passes on power to his successor.
The skinny boy, now strong and tall, a young man with green hair and greener eyes, takes the U.A. entrance exam and shatters his arms trying to save a total stranger.
A centuries-old villain silently takes control of the government, and no one is the wiser.
All Might is found dead in an alleyway. His Hero costume massive on his shrunken frame. The only sign of a struggle the skin beneath his fingernails and a gaping hole in his chest.
As a nation mourns, forensics teams sweep through the crime scene and a warrant is placed for the arrest of one Midoriya Izuku. Wanted on suspicion of the murder of Toshinori Yagi, more commonly known as All Might.
A year later, the supervillain Deku is the most wanted man in Japan, maybe even in the world. He terrifies the populace and the government, taking out villainous competition and solidifying his vice grip on the underworld. At least, that’s what the news would have you believe.
Deku’s feud with various villain organizations is brutal and quick, as he systematically eliminates them. It’s assumed that he’s doing so so he can be the ultimate power in villainy.
A task force is formed out of U.A. students and minor pros to hunt him down where others have failed.
But all is not as it seems.
