A Strange Voice, and All For One

"You're an interesting kid," said a deep voice that seemed to come from the window of the shed next to the room.

I panicked and noticed a man outside wearing a black formal suit and a black mask in the shape of a skull, skull with tubes of the same color on its sides that seemed to connect in the back area of the mask, resembling Darth Vader in some ways.

I couldn't say anything because I was confused and my throat hurt from crying and screaming.

The intimidating man calmly opened the window and walked into the room before approaching me.

I hugged my legs and covered my face, hoping he wouldn't hurt me, but he simply knelt down in front of me.

"I know everything that happened to you, Izuku," he said, sending shivers up my spine.

"I completely understand your hatred and sadness, all of this would not have happened if the heroes had done their job well, don't you think so, your loss has affected you a lot and I understand it, so I offer you the opportunity to change society so no one else suffers like you today," the man said as he caressed my hair with his right hand.

Honestly, what the man was saying and transmitting to me and it didn't feel so bad, but I couldn't get several unknowns out of my head.

"My name is irrelevant right now, the important thing is that I have a Quirk called All For One and this allows me to steal, make other people's Quirks mine, and also allows me to give them to other individuals, so it is the most powerful and useful Quirk for you," his words did nothing but confuse me, but before I could ask him, he grabbed me by both shoulders in what I assume was a gesture to make me feel better.

But that's impossible, isn't it, that there was a particularity with the description you're giving me, because someone with that particularity would be far too powerful, and it would be a tragedy if that power fell into the wrong hands?

The man laughed softly before standing up, as if he could see right through me. "I am offering you this Quirk to change this society to your liking, that you shape it to your will, that the incompetent heroes disappear and that your word is law for all, that the heroes will not be an impediment to you and you can manage them as you please, that no one can stop you, and that you will get this society to open its eyes to see that the real problem lies in the very nature of its beloved peace," When I saw him raise a fist, his words held a passion and conviction that unsettled and even convinced me.

My eyes are probably red from crying, but I swear I felt a brief admiration for him in a part of me I didn't know existed; if what this man says is true, I could exact revenge on my mother, make sure no one ever loses a loved one again, I... I could help others as I have dreamed of doing since I was a child.

He returned my gaze and extended his hand. "So, Izuku, what is your response? Do you accept this power to change this society that has turned its back on your mother?" He asked me with a softness that belied how threatening he appears with that mask on, but he still managed to reach me.

I nodded, a little self-consciously. "A-I accept your offer," I said in a broken and hoarse voice, reaching out my hand to shake his, but a sharp pain shot through my body seconds later.

AARRGHHHHHHH!

Every bone in my body felt like it was breaking, and every molecule screamed in agony as if they were stabbing my heart 100 times.

The man wouldn't let go of my hand even after seeing all of my suffering, as if he expected something from all of this pain, did this man want to kill me, was it all a fucking hoax, am I going to die without even making a positive change in society, won't I be able to avenge my Mom!!!?

No, that's not going to happen; I'm not going to die today; I have to live for my mother, who wants me to continue living; and I'm not going to let this man murder me... I will not perish!

GRRUSHH!

I moved my free hand in the blink of an eye to punch the man in the stomach, but everything went wrong.

My arm turned into a large metal blade that went through the stomach of the suited man, who folded in on himself in pain, but he stood for several more seconds before letting go of my hand and kneeling in front of me again, my arm/blade still stuck in him, and the pain eventually stopped.

I'm terrified because of the state of my arm, but then I feel a hand land on my head and realize it's the man who, despite being badly injured, still seems to have something to say to me.

"The transfer of All For One has been successful, Izuku, you may be angry with me later, but it's too late to take it back... and if you happen to see a guy named Tomura Shigaraki, please tell him that I went far away and I won't come back, but I will still follow his goals," the masked man said before coughing into his helmet.

The warm blood gushing from the deep wound I gave him stained my arm, which had returned to its normal shape. After nearly a minute of dry coughing, he fell silent and his hand on my head lost strength, and I stopped hearing his mask's hoarse breathing.

I widened my eyes as I realized this man had died as a result of my actions.

Before anything else, I was taken aback by how quickly the man's corpse turned into black dust that rose into the air before quickly entering my mouth without my being able to avoid it.

I could feel an eerie serenity invade me and a scorching heat run through my body; maybe it was because of that All For One transfer he mentioned, but I feel like I now have the ability to control that Quirk; I don't know how to explain it, but... it's as if it's always been mine.

For the first time in my life, I felt powerful, the feeling of having so many peculiarities inside me is indescribable, I only needed a brief look inside me to understand the amount of dangerous peculiarities that this guy had and still decided to give me, but that's....

I froze as I realized I had pierced the man's stomach with my arm turned into a metal blade, and I remembered the officer's words from earlier: "A villain with metal powers attacked and caused a large sign to fall on a large crowd of innocents... your mother was one of them." It can't be a coincidence that a man with a metal Quirk shows up at my house on the same day that a villain with a similarly described peculiarity murders my mother.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that the man who gave me All For One is the same man who murdered my mother.

DAMN!

In response to my rage, I roared and slammed my fist into the ground, causing the house to shake.

What the fuck did he do it for, what the fuck did he want to prove by murdering my mother, am I a part of some experiment of his or what!!!

I clenched my fists so tightly that my knuckles turned white, gritting my teeth and pressing my forehead against the floor.

I don't understand, I don't understand, but... it doesn't make sense, I'm not... I'm not going to gain anything by losing my cool.

I had no idea where this self-control came from, but after a few deep breaths, I found myself on my knees, arms dangling listlessly, and only my scowl remained.

Whatever it was, that man had a plan for me with that speech, and I'm not going to let him have it.

"I'm offering you this Quirk in exchange for changing this society to your liking!!!

, shape it to your liking, make the inept heroes disappear, and your word will be law for all; the heroes will no longer be an impediment to you, and you will be able to manage them at your leisure!"

For a brief moment, his words tempted me, but if I have this power, I will use it for good rather than evil, and I will not do the will of my mother's murderer.

I might now... I may be alone now, but I will not let anyone lose a loved one. I must not cry any longer; I must be able to bear sadness from now on; I must make my mother proud; I will graduate from UA and be a hero; no one will mock me or prevent me from succeeding.

I've decided that no innocent people will perish while I'm there; instead, I'll transform into a terrifying presence that will terrorize anyone who wishes to cause harm and chaos.

I focused my attention on my fists. Now I... I have to deal with my mother's absence and continue attending school, I have to prepare myself to join UA, but even so, when someone is in danger, I will save whoever needs it, with or without a license.

That is my goal, and I must never lose sight of it.
