Chapter 3
Rin Zwen is over the moon.
This is because she received word that Izuku has regained conciseness and went to the hospital the minute she finished her hero duties.
"I wonder what I should say to him? It's been five years since we have a proper conversation." Rin thought as a small frowned on her face.
"How long have you been here?" A voice asked, causing Rin to jump slightly before turning her head to the side to see a male with black hair and eyes approaching her.
"Mr Aizawa? What are you doing here?" Rin asked, confused as to see the erasure Quirk user.
"I've been asked to come to the hospital in case Midoriya's Quirk decided to become out of controlled, hurting him even more." Shota explained, causing Rin to nod her head.
"I see, that's make sense." Rin muttered in a thoughtful tone of voice.
"How long have you been waiting here?" Shota asked, glancing around the waiting area.
"...Two hours maybe..." Rin replied, becoming sheepish. Shota stared at her for a few seconds before sighing.
"You're that excited to see Midoriya again?" Shota, causing Rin to nod her head.
"Of course. I've been spending the past five years trying to find Izuku." Rin replied, causing Shota to raise an eye-brow.
"You were planning on adopting Midoriya when you found him?" Shota asked, causing Rin to nod her head.
"Absolutely, I was surprised and happy when the chairperson said that I can look after him." Rin explained with a smile on her face.
"How did you begin your search for Midoriya?" Shota asked, crossing his arms.
"Well, my search started when I found out that Izuku got kicked out by his parents and placed in a foster home..." Rin began to explain.
Flashback
"I wonder how Izuku is feeling? He's must be feeling devastated." A younger Rin thought as she approaches the Midoriya residence.
"I know that I should have been here sooner, but there was a huge spike of Villain activities that need to be dealt with." Rin thought again, feeling frustrated that she hasn't had the chance to visit Izuku within two months.
"I wonder if they're in?" Rin asked herself as she press the door-bell. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing a woman with long, dark green hair and green eyes.
"Rin?! This is a surprise." Inko Midoriya said with a surprise expression on her face.
"Hi, Inko. Sorry if I couldn't be sooner. Was kept busy with hero duties." Rin explained as Inko let the light/darkness Quirk user into the Midoriya's residence.
"I understand. It said in the news that was big increase of villain activities within the city." Inko said in an understanding tone of voice.
"How's Izuku? He'd must be devastated, right?" Rin asked, causing Inko to become tense slightly.
"Yes. Yes he was at the time..." Inko said in a tense tone of voice, something that cause Rin to raise an eye-brow.
"Is Izuku in his room?" Rin asked, seeing that the dark green hair boy isn't in the living room.
"..." Inko didn't say anything as she became nervous, something that caused Rin to become suspicious. The light/darkness Quirk user turned her head towards the door that would lead to Izuku's room and notice something.
"Where's the name tag that is usually hanging on the door?" Rin asked, glancing her behind her shoulder. Inko became quiet, causing Rin to frown before walking over to Izuku's bedroom door and opened it.
Her eyes widen when she how bare the room is, all the All Might merchandise that Izuku has collected have disappeared. Rin started to gain a nasty feeling in her stomach.
"Inko...Where's Izuku...?" Rin said, trying to stay calm.
"I...Well...Izuku is/Answer the question, Inko!" Rin shouted, turning around and glared at Inko. The dark green hair women gained an upset look on her face.
"I'm sorry. After Izuku is diagnosed as Quirkless, Hisahi left and people started to say what weak genes I have, not being able to past mine or Hisashi's Quirk onto Izuku. I...couldn't handle the pressure any longer...I'm sorry." Inko explained as she started to cry, referring to her husband.
However, Rin has an emotionless expression on her face.
"Where did you took him?" Rin asked in an emotionless tone of voice.
Flashback
"I immediately went to the orphanage that Izuku was taken but the staff there said that he disappeared." Rin explained as Shota has an unreadable expression on his face throughout the examination.
"Did the staff say anything that could be a link to Midoriya's kidnapping?" Shota asked, causing Rin to shake her head slightly.
"No, they said that Izuku was alone when he disappeared." Rin explained, causing Shota to sigh.
"The staff at that orphanage are supposed to look after the children. They're not doing a good job if they're neglecting their duties." Shota said whilst shaking his head.
"Miss Zwen?" A voice said, causing both heros to turn their heads to see a doctor approaching them.
"Hello, Doctor Stephen." Rin greeted as she stood up.
"Are you here to visit Midoriya?" Doctor Stephen asked, he being the one looking after Izuku whilst his time in Hospital.
"That's correct. I've been waiting here for two hours." Rin said with a smile on her face. Doctor Stephen stared at her for a few seconds before shaking his head whilst chuckling slightly.
"Glad to see that you're excited then." Doctor Stephen said before looking over at Shota.
"Mr Aizawa? What are doing here?" Doctor Stephen asked, clearly surprise to see the Erasing hero.
"I've been asked to come here in case Midoriya's Quirk decided to go uncontrolled." Shota replied, causing Doctor Stephen to nod his head.
"Yes, I understand why. I've heard that Midriya's Quirk was getting improved by force. Most of his body is damaged because of that." Doctor Stephen explained, causing both Rin's and Shota's eyes to widen.
"Can you please take us to Izuku?" Rin asked, starting to feel agitated.
"Certainly." Doctor Stephen replied before heading in a direction, Rin and Shota following him. After a few minutes of wondering the hospital, the three of them entered a ward.
When the light/darkness Quirk user saw a boy with dark green hair and green eyes, a big smile appeared on her face.
"Izuku!" Rin exclaimed before suddenly diving towards the green hair boy.
"Aunt Rin-Gah!" Izuku suddenly yelp as Rin started to hug him tightly. Luckily, Izuku is resting within a private room so little attention got drawn their way.
"Oh, Izuku. Do you know how worried I was when I found out that you suddenly disappeared from the orphanage? I've been searching for you for the last five years!" Rin explained as she step away slightly, eyes glinting slightly.
"Miss Zwen. I think it's best if you treat Midoriya gently, he's still healing, remember?" Doctor Stephen asked, causing Rin to pout slightly but nodded her head.
"You...been searching for me?" Izuku asked with a questioning look on his face.
"Of course, I have. Why shouldn't I have?" Rin asked with a smirk on her face. Izuku started smile.
"I'm just glad...that's all." Izuku replied, however, Rin notice something.
"That's smile...It's different from the one's that he usual have." Rin thought as she stared at the smile. The light/darkness Quirk user realized that Izuke is broken on the inside.
"Professor Jenze...What have you been doing to Izuku?" Rin muttered rhetorically, a hand clench slightly. It was then that Rin notice that Izuku is staring at Shota.
"Izuku. This man here is Shota Aizawa, he's also known as the hero Eraser Head." Rin introduce Izuku to Shota, causing the green hair boy's eyes to widen.
"I've heard about you. Your Quirk allows you to remove the Quirk of anyone in your line of vision." Izuku said and for the first time, Shota smirked slightly.
"You certainly know your stuff, kid. Despite being held captive for five years." Shota said, however, this caused Izuku to feel depress.
"I've...heard people at the laboratory speaking about you..." Izuku explained as Rin glared at Shota, causing the erasing hero to take a step back slightly. The light/darkness Quirk user took a deep breath to calm herself down and turn back to look at Izuku.
"How are you feeling, Izuku?" Rin asked as she notices the bandages on Izuku's body.
"I'm feeling okay, just a few pains here and there." Izuku replied, causing a small to appear on Rin's face.
"That's good to hear." Rin said before taking a deep breath, knowing what the next question she would ask will be hard for the young boy.
"Izuku. What happened to you on the day that you got kidnapped?" Rin asked, causing Shota and Doctor Stephen to glance at her slightly.
"...Well, I wouldn't call it a kidnapping..." Izuku said quietly, causing the two adults (Doctor Stephen already left the room) in the room to become confuse.
Flashback
A younger Izuku can be seen sitting by himself under a bridge that next to the orphanage. He'd been there for two weeks now and the only emotion that he felt mostly these days is bitterness.
The reason for this he felt angry towards his mother who decided to abandon him. Izuku kind of understand why she did it, with all the pressure, but he still felt angry at the fact that Inko Midoriya decided to abandon her own child.
"Better head back inside. The caretakers will probably be wondering where I am." Izuku thought as he stood up and started to head back to the orphanage.
To be honest, Izuku hated the place and can't wait to get away from it. But he'd wondered what will happen to him afterwards.
Those who are born as Quirkless will absolutely find it difficult to have any sort of life, the public finding those with Quirks will be more suitable for a job that their Quirks will be good for. Most suicides nowadays are usually caused by Quirkless people because they can't cope with the life that they lead.
As Izuku took a few steps, the dark green hair boy started to hear something moved behind him. He turned around and became wide eyed when he saw two people, one looking like a spider and the other a crocodile.
"Darn. I thought that we would be able to sneak up on him quietly." The crocodile Quirk user said in a disgruntle tone of voice.
"Well, maybe if you were quieter, the boy wouldn't have heard us." The spider Quirk user said to the crocodile Quirk user, shooting him a glare.
"Your saying it's my fault then?!" The crocodile Quirk user asked in an angry tone of voice. As the two Quirk users argued, Izuku started to back away from the two.
"Why are they doing here? They don't look friendly at all." Izuku thought as he examines the two.
"Maybe I could run to the orphanage and warn them." Izuku thought again as he took a step backwards.
"Oh, no you don't." The spider Quirk user said before suddenly shooting white silk out of one of he's spider legs. Izuku could say anything as the white silk wrapped around him, including covering his mouth.
Izuku fell on the ground and started to move about, trying to break himself free.
"There's no point in trying to break free. That silk is like iron when dry's. So, if you don't have a super strength Quirk, then your completely stuck here." The crocodile Quirk user said with a wide smirk on his face.
This caused the spider Quirk user to sigh angrily before whacking the crocodile Quirk user on the head.
"Do you have to tell the kid that?" The spider Quirk user said angrily.
"What? It not like the kid can do anything against the two of us. And anyway, he will be dead soon." The crocodile Quirk user explained, causing Izuku's eyes to widen with fear.
"Don't worry, kid. You won't be the only one. All the other kids at the orphanage will die along with you. I will make sure that your death will be painless as possible." The crocodile Quirk user said as he crouch down to Izuku's height and the green hair boy began to squirm in his bindings.
"Is this how I will die?" Izuku thought as he watch the crocodile raise a clawed hand into the air.
"...But then again. What's the point of living if I'm Quirkless. I will be completely useless, just like what Kacchan always said." Izuku thought, thinking about his former friend.
Izuku relaxed and closed his eyes, waiting for the crocodile Quirk user's clawed hand to take his life.

"Gah!" The spider Quirk user suddenly exclaimed. This caused Izuku to open his eyes and the crocodile Quirk user to turn his head to see the spider Quirk user slumped against the wall where some of the stones is cracked slightly.
Standing in the place when the spider Quirk user was previously, is a man with short, dark brown hair and indigo eyes. His right leg is in the air, indicating that he kicked the spider Quirk user into the wall.
"Gzzzz, Villains these days are sure lacking in confidence, deciding to kill children." The Indigo eyes man said with a small smirk on his face.
"Why you!" The crocodile Quirk user exclaimed in an angry tone of voice before lunging at the man. However, the indigo eyes male quickly moved out of the way and elbowed the crocodile Quirk user in the back when he passed him.
The crocodile stumbled slightly before falling onto the ground just as the spider Quirk user regained consciousness.
"Hozo!" The spider Quirk user exclaimed before shooting silk at the indigo male. However, the spider Quirk user, the now named Hozo and Izuku became shock when a dark Indigo aura covered the indigo eyes male's hand before swiping it towards the silk, completely destroying it.
"Y-your a Quirk user?!" The spider Quirk user exclaimed in a shock tone of voice. The question caused the indigo eyes male to hum slightly.
"Maybe." The indigo eyes male replied whilst smirking.
"It doesn't matter if you're a Quirk user or not. Let get him, Lozo." Hozo said to the now named Lozo, causing him to nod his head in agreement before the two of them lunged at the indigo eyes man. Both Quirk users draw their hands back, ready to punch the indigo male.
However, the indigo eyes male easily caught their fists, causing Hozo and Lozo to become shock.
"Come on, now. Surely you can do more than that?" The indigo male asked mockingly, causing both animal Quirk users to growl in anger.
"Who is this guy? A Hero?" Izuku thought, still tied up, as he watch the indigo eyes male fought Hozo and Lozo with ease.
After a few minutes, both Hozo and Lozo are beaten badly and panting heavily.
"I must admit, you two sure put up a better fight than I expected." The indigo eyes male commented, examining himself and saw his damaged clothes small scratches.
"But then again, if I had my full power available then that would be different story." The indigo male said, causing Hozo's, Lozo's and Izuku's eyes to widen with shock.
"Lo-Lozo. I think best if we sc-scram." Hozo said in a shaky tone of voice, dread entering the crocodile Quirk user's body.
"Y-yeah." The spider Quirk user agreed, also in a shaky tone of voice.
The both of the turned around and were about to leg it but stop when two hands grab them by their shoulders.
"Really now? Do you really think that it is wise decision to turn your back on the enemy?" The indigo eyes male asked, a smirk appearing on his lips. Before the two Quirk users could do anything, the indigo eyes male turned them around sharply and with both of his fists getting covered with a dark indigo aura again and punch the two of them in the stomach.
Hozo and Lozo both cough up blood as the two of them stumbled backwards.
"Wh...what the heck are you?" Hozo asked, gaining a strange feeling in his stomach from where the indigo eyes male punch him.
"Hm. You don't need to know actual." The indigo eyes male replied before the dark indigo aura around his hands grew bigger and he'd throw the now spheres of dark indigo aura at Hozo and Lozo, causing the both of them to be consumed by the dark indigo aura like fire and the two of them to shriek in pain.
Izuku's eyes widen in horror as he watch Hozo's and Lozo's body disappearing. The indigo eyes male stared at the place where the two Quirk wielders were before letting out a deep sigh.
"Finally. Those two are out of the way." The indigo eyes male said before turning around and looked down at Izuku. The dark green hair boy started to shuffle backwards and try to make noise, attempting to call someone.
"Calm down, would you. At least until I can uncover your mouth." The indigo male said as he crouch down to Izuku's height, causing the dark green hair boy to become confuse slightly. One of the indigo eyes male's hand started to gain a faint dark indigo aura which he place on the silk that covers Izuku's Izuku felt the silk disappearing, he became curious about the dark indigo aura.
"Curious about this?" The indigo eyes male asked, noticing that Izuku is staring at the dark red aura. The indigo eyes male chuckled slightly when Izuku jumped slightly.
"This energy is similar to that of a black hole, young Midoriya." The indigo eyes male explained, causing Izuku to nod his head slightly before realizing something.
"How do you know my name?" Izuku asked, speaking for the first time, causing the Indigo eyes male to smile slightly.
"I know a few things about Izuku Midoirya, such as you being sent to this orphanage because your mother could handle the pressure of having a child that, in today's society, is considered disabled." The indigo eyes male said, and a frown appeared on Izuku's forehead.
"Oh yeah! I haven't told you my name. My name is Zander Crom." The now named Zander said, causing Izuku to nod his head. Zander then glance towards the orphanage.
"You know, the caretakers will be wondering where you are at this point." Zander commented, causing a scowl to appear on Izuku's face.
"Now, now. You don't need to give me that look. I know that you absolutely hate the place. You may be wondering why I came here?" Zander asked, causing a confused look to appear on Izuku's face.
"Didn't you just happen to see those two Quirk users trying to kill me?" Izuku asked, causing Zander to chuckle slightly.
"No, that was just coincidental. The real reason I came here is to take you away from this place." Zander said, causing Izuku to stare at him with eyes full disbelief.
"Yes. You have so much potential, young Izuku..." Zander said before placing a hand on Izuku's forehead. The next thing that Izuku knew if falling into darkness.
Flashback
"The next thing I knew is being at that laboratory and being experimented on." Izuku finished explaining and Rin and Shota glance at each other with knowing looks.
"...Is there something wrong?" Izuku asked, tilting his head to the side as he notice the looks.
"It's nothing for yourself to worry about, kid, but some of the files that we retrieved from the laboratory did mention someone called Zander. So, you kind of help us with describing him." Shota explained, causing Izuku to smile nervously.
"Did...you happen to see Zander during your time in captivity?" Rin asked, becoming nervous slightly as she didn't want to ask Izuku questions.
"I did see him at times, talking to the professor about my Quirk's progress." Izuku explained, causing Rin and Shota to look at each other.
"How painful is your Quirk when you used it?" Shota asked, causing a discomfort look to appear on Izuku's face.
"It's...hurt a lot." Izuku replied, causing Rin to feel angry towards Professor Jenze.
"Well, once your discharged from the hospital, we'll fixed that problem so that you can use your Quirk without hurting yourself." Rin said with a smile on her face.
"...What will happen to me when I get discharged from the hospital, Aunt?" Izuku asked, fearing the worst.
"From now on, Izuku, you will be living with me." Rin replied as her smile grew bigger.
"R-really?!" Izuku asked in a shock tone of voice, causing Rin to nod her head.
"Absolut-Gah!" Rin began to say but exclaimed when Izuku hugged her tightly.
Shota looked at the two with a small smile on his face.
Line break
Deep within a prison, Professor Jenze sat in his cell.
"Why did I end up like this? If it wasn't him, I wouldn't end up in prison." Professor Jenze muttered slightly angrily.
"Hello, Jenze. How does Prison life suit you?" A voice asked, causing Professor Ginues to look up from his cup hands to see a male with dark brown hair and indigo eyes standing on the other side of the bars.
"Zander!?" Professor Jenze said in a shock tone of voice.
"Yep. The one and only." Zander said with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, smirk all you want. Look at the mess I'm in." Professor Jenze said as he stood up and walked over to the bars.
"That's not my fault. It was your android that lead the heroes and police to the laboratory." Zander explained with raised arms in surrender.
"...I guess that's true." Professor Jenze said in a disgruntled tone of voice.
"And anyway, you should be thankful. If it wasn't for me, you would have ending up in prison a long time ago." Zander pointed out, causing Professor Jenze to nod his head begrudgingly.
"I think that's the only way I could have help you with Project Evol." Professor Jenze muttered, causing Zander to smile.
"Bingo!" Zander said in an enthusiastic tone of voice. This caused Professor Jenze to sigh slightly.
"Don't act like that. You were the only one in the country that I could think of that could help me with unlocking Izuku's power...Even if you have to use force." Zander explained and Professor Jenze's eyes widened.
"Y-you knew?" Professor Jenze asked, completely shock.
"I did actual, from the start. I didn't say anything because Earth's environment is unsuitable for Izuku's evolution ability's growth to be normal." Zander explained, causing Professor Jenze to become confuse.
"Anyway, Project Evol is finished, I've been told that the boy has been recovered by the heroes." Professor Jenze explained, changing the subject because he know that Zander will avoid the question that Professor Jenze wanted to ask.
"I know." Zander said, causing Professor Jenze to raise an eye-brow.
"You don't seem upset about it." Professor Jenze pointed out, causing Zander to shrug his shoulders.
"Well, young Izuku will need to be trained so that his powers won't hurt him when he uses them and for the supposed second phase of Project Evol, I will make sure that that's completed." Zander explained, causing Professor Jenze to nod his head.
"By the way, have you been interrogated yet?" Zander asked, causing Professor Jenze to shake his head.
"No, the only pieces of information they will know is the stuff that I've written down. Which is vague because you told me to." Professor Jenze explained, causing Zander to nod his head.
"Good." Zander said before suddenly Professor Jenze felt a sharp pain in his chest. The professor looked down to see a dagger embedded in his chest.
Professor Jenze looked up at Zander as pain spread throughout his body.
"W-why?" Professor Jenze asked weakly.
"I'm sorry, Professor Jenze, But it would be better if I silence you. you know the saying, "dead man tells no tales". Thank you, professor, for all you hard work." Zander said as Professor Jenze's eyes closed and he fell onto the ground.
Zander stared at the dead body for a few seconds before pulling the dagger out of the professor's chest, the blade covered in blood yet the white mineral that the blade is made of can still, yet faintly, be seen.
"Things will become more exciting in the future...my little legacy." Zander said before mysteriously disappearing
