Chapter 3. To Save you even if It means killing you
"What the hell is this man's quirk, portals, weapons that shoots rays, teleportation?! Is he like me or is he born with these quirks?!" AFO thought to himself as he was dodging the hails of golden rays that tailed him, some of which exploded on impact.
"Rarghhh... damnit ALL!" AFO screams.
"Izuku, go wait with your mother, for the question you have I'll answer them when the time is right, but for now stay out of this I'll finish this soon," Gilgamesh said to Izuku while holding his stone tablet and Golden ax targeting AFO.
"O..okay, be careful, please" Izuku answers and ran back to the car, while looking back at both Gilgamesh and his father once more.
Gilgamesh while attacking AFO notice something and looks into the possible outcomes,
"so I wasn't too late after all, if I end this game soon then there is still a possibility."
"Mongrel, I'll applaud you for your fine little show, but you have wasted enough of my precious time, so prepare yourself" after which Gilgamesh summon more staffs and wands out from his Gate of Babylon.
"Big words coming from a nameless brat who just arrived, but With your quirk I can see why your so confident, it will make it more interesting when I take it after I defeat you!" AFO yells out as he continues to fly around the beams shot from the wands and staff.
"Pffhahahaha... haha, nameless? A brat? I have lived far longer then you have imagine, but it's time to show you where you belong Mongrel."
Rapid firing from the Wands and staff begins.
Back in the Car
Inko who was still trapped under the debris, but was worried about both her husband and son as the earth begins to rumble once again.
Izuku quickly runs back and closes the door.
"Izuku! Sweetie are you okay what happen and where is your father?"
Izuku had no tears left but he let out a soft sob before saying, "dad.. saved Allmight, ...he's a hero."
Inko didn't ask any further the haunted face of Izuku, and answer he gave was enough to know what happened. She felt distraught at what happened to Hisashi, but now Izuku needs her so she reached over and hugged him tight, "Izuku, it gonna be okay sweetie it gonna be okay someone will save us."
Outside in the Air
"How is he able to fly?! Is this one quirk or a mutation, whatever it is I must have it!" AFO thought as he blasted back with emitter quirks, smiling as he imagine the possibility of gaining such quirk.
He was finally able to maneuver behind to grab hold of Gilgamesh when a wand appear in front of his hand blocking his way and blasted his hand a hole through it.
"Arrrgghh! How? How are you able to do all of this?!" AFO yells out in pain but was silence by another barrages of beams.
"Silence, I do not need to answer you anything, for you should feel fortunate enough that I even need to acknowledge you, as well as letting you touch one of my many treasures," Gilgamesh replied tiredly and took aim at AFO making sure to finish the job.
"You arrogant brat, I'll show you!" With that AFO threw a piece of building towards Gilgamesh while the other hands charges a beam of plasma energy, and launched it towards him.
Gilgamesh disappeared into Golden dust only to reappear behind AFO knocking him back down to earth and continues to shoot at him.
"Hmm, the charge is complete"Gilgamesh thought to himself.
"Mongrel, you should rejoice for I will show you the power true power of Myself which is the power of Uruk!"
As Gilgamesh finished his declaration, he flew higher and begins his chant
"By my order, ready the arrows!
Use my treasures to show them the power that protects Uruk!
My resolve shall flood the earth!
Melammu Dingir!"
As Gilgamesh was chanting, Sumerian symbols appears and circle around him, the surrounding area soon was darken and then lit up, to show it was all cover in a dust storm, and then a grand city wall appears mounted with turrets, as Gilgamesh floated higher he gave the orders and the city launched the treasures of Gilgamesh towards AFO who was on the ground looking at the scene in this disbelief.
"This is impossible what kind of quirks is this! No no time Kurogiri get me out of here Now!" as a black mist quickly appears around AFO, but he was still too slow as a few weapons were able to nick him before he was fully teleported away.
"Tsk, like a roach still alive but barely sigh* isn't even worth considering a Mongrel, but I better get to it before it to late" Gilgamesh said to himself before flying towards Izuku's location.
Jaku General Hospital, underground Lab
"Dr. Garaki, master is injured please hurry up" Kurogiri calls out as he laid AFO on a surgical table bleeding heavily.
"Master?! How is this possible with his quirks that he collected the bleeding and injuries should've stopped and begin to heal, Kurogiri what was the source of this injury?!" The old doctor known as Kyudai Garaki yells out in horror, he knew of Allmight's strength but nothing should have help Allmight make these type of Injuries that could prevent healing or regenerations with his master quirks.
"I have no idea by the time I appear to take master away I saw a city wall shooting barrages of golden ballistic at master, perhaps it was something in those ballistics?" Kurogiri replies in a panic tone.
"That... that was no simple Ballastic Kurogiri, huff* huff* it was a crimson spear or possibly something within it that's causing this to me huff, I narrowly angle myself or else my head would've been taken off... huff* Kyudai my body is currently going on overdrive with all the healing quirks and regenerative quirk I have, but it's only stopping the injuries not healing it, I need you my friend to help me..." before AFO could finish his words he fainted back onto the table.
didn't waste a single second and went straight to work on AFO, but a burning desire began to form in him what was this Crimson spear that can even harm the strongest combinations of quirks? Is it a quirk or a biological weapon he must find this out.
After weeks of surgery and finding new quirks to try and prevent the injuries from worsening, they were able to save AFO's life, but the end the results were not what AFO wanted.
"Mark my words this isn't over Allmight and you nameless brat!" With that AFO slumps into his chair letting Garaki finish his life support as quirks weren't able to fully heal nor sustain him.
Tokyo, Before Gilgamesh and AFO fight ends
"Hang in there Toshi, don't die on me, what would Nana say to me on the other side if I let you die" an Elderly hero known as Gran Torino thought to himself as he zips his way towards the devastation.
~flashback~
"Night Eye? What do you need?"
"What do you mean Tokyo is under attack by AFO?! how are you sure of that?!"
"Because Allmight is there, and he hasn't responded back for quite awhile after Tokyo's explosion,"responded Sir Night Eye.
"alright I'll head over as soon as possible tell Chiyo to be prepared this won't end good"
~present, or rather after the Noble Phantasm~
"What in the world is that? A giant city wall?!" Gran Torino thought while unable to hold back his surprise, as he lands near Allmight who has blacked out after awhile.
"Izuku, it's over now" Gilgamesh calls out as he opens the car door, causing Inko to panic as a stranger just open their door and she couldn't do much to protect Izuku, but to only hold on to him tighter.
"Mom please calm down it okay he's King Gilgamesh and he saved us" Izuku tried his best to calm his mother.
"Miss I understand your worries, but rest assured I won't do anything to harm either of you, but I am here for more pressing issue its about your husband, there is a chance we can still save him if we can hurry to the nearest hospital."
Gilgamesh revelation caused both mother and Son to look back at him in shock, even though Hisashi received such grievous injuries, he can still be saved.
With that out of the way Gilgamesh launched the debris off of Inko and carried her out to her husband, he was indeed still alive although the breathing was barely audible and heart rate was slow, but he was still alive.
"We'll need to know a hospital or a doctor that are experienced on treating this kind wound, that's the main issue, since we don't it'll be best to take him to the nearest one."
Gilgamesh explain, but before he was prepare to take off with them, Allmight who was slowly waking up and held up by Gran Torino calls out a suggestion.
"I know of a person, she is very cable of working on these type of injuries.. and my Teacher here told me she is prepared for the worst right now so if we can head to Musutafa Hospital she could probably meet us there from UA very soon"
All sides nodded at the suggestion in an agreement, thus Gilgamesh pulled out a strange vessel, and everyone could only stare in awe at the sight of it,
"Usually it's only meant for one, and mainly for myself but everyone gather on, we'll waste less time if we ride my Vimana."
With that the group took off leaving a destroyed Tokyo, where Allmight looked back in pain thinking to himself,
"If I didn't let him get to my head..."
Musutafa Hospital
The group arrive within minutes as they landed in front of the hospital, where Chiyo Shuzenji also known as Recover Girl awaited with Sir Night Eye and the hospitals staff.
Allmight hands Hisashi and Inko over to the staff as they hop off of Vimana. As they were all heading into the Hospital, that's when Allmight notice a person missing the Golden hair young man who saved them. He turned around hoping to bring him along for a few questions and a thank you, but by the time he turned around he was gone just like how he came.
Allmight felt suspicious about the individual as before he completely black out he saw the sheer versatility of the young man quirk,
"could he be related to AFO, but then why does AFO not recognize him, were they acting for a show... better talk with Teacher and Mirai about this sigh* it's been a long day hopefully it can end on a somewhat positive note."
After finishing his thought he rushed in with the hospital staff to treat his head wounds and bruised body.
Hours have past while Inko only suffer some minor leg fractures and bruising on her abdomen she was safe to say the least, Hisashi on the other hand would be a up hill battle.
His internal organs were scramble as one of his lungs were puncture, and his stomach was twisted, ribs were shattered it was a miracle that he was even barely alive at this point.
Recovery Girl and a team of Surgeons did their best but the possibility of survival were null, as even if they were to stabilize him he would only be alive for a mere hours before ultimately succumbing to his wound, not enough time for his organs to heal or be replaced. It didn't help that a invasive materials by product of quirk was making it worse, it seem that AFO had plan to use this on Allmight so he can slowly suffer and be eaten from the inside out.
Izuku sat there in hospital beside his mother who was asleep, after the staff checked him to say he was fine, he opted to stay with his mother in the hospital.
He was glad to hear the news that his father is still breathing but his hope shattered completely as they said it very well just be a lost cause, as the damage was already to much for someone to recover from, but Allmight pushed for this man life to be saved.
Izuku felt powerless, sure he was a kid so what was he supposed to do, but then he heard a familiar voice,
"how long are you just going to sit there, there is still hope for your father meet me at the roof top."
Izuku jumped off his stool and whisper to his mom who was still sleeping that he'll be right back, and immediately ran out of her room.
As he arrived he notice no one was here, just as he was about to leave he saw Gilgamesh standing upon the fences of the roof top looking over the cities, but Gilgamesh disappeared into golden dust only to reappear in front of Izuku.
"Well then hello again Izuku, wish our first in person meeting would've been a bit formal instead of being so tragic..."
"Your...real? Your really King Gilgamesh?" Izuku ask in a hushed tone.
"Haha yes indeed I am King Gilgamesh himself or rather the Heroic Spirit of Gilgamesh that summon from the throne of heroes, but Izuku I'll explain this later as of now your father may not live past sunrise which it doesn't have to be this way, you have the power to change that." Gilgamesh says while pointing at Izuku,
"But.. how, I'm quirkless how am supposed to save my father if even the doctors can't do it," Izuku whimper out those sentences which slightly irritated Gilgamesh.
"Izuku you said that quirks aren't everything and that is true, as of now of course you couldn't do anything, your just a child with no power of your own yet, and let me just say this young one quirks are indeed not everything, before quirks there was alway other powers and an ancient one at that, even without those humanity still achieved so much with only just there mind and body, but Izuku you may not have a quirk but you indeed have power to call your own, more then you will ever know."
Gilgamesh say while gesturing to Izuku once more
"I will teach you this form of power but as of now we won't have time to learn the basics, it is time for you to realize your other abilities which is the ability to summon Heroic spirits called servants to assist you like myself, usually there are specific requirements for summoning servants, but you seem to be a special case as you have by pass quite a few requirements. Here take this,"
Gilgamesh reaches into his golden portal and pulls out a firearm along with a giant Shield of some sort.
"this shield here will be the catalyst for summoning servants, it's not necessary as you have shown, but it will provide a better result, also that pistol is an artifact from the servant you'll need, by having something close to the servant you'll be able to get a more direct results, if you don't the throne will send you servants that fits your personality the most.."
Gilgamesh finished explaining and then asks Izuku,
"So do you think your ready?"
"I have many questions to ask, but you'll be here to answer them later right?" Izuku looks up worried and confuse.
"You have my words, now let's begin, Izuku stand in front of the shield think of your desire to save your fathers life, and hope that the Throne will answer your call" Gilgamesh calls out and places the pistol in center of the Giant shield.
Izuku closes his eyes and wishes hard for someone to answers his call to save his father, and then something click as the shield begins to shine lights of blue, blinding Izuku for a moment.
Then standing in front of Izuku and Gilgamesh was a women, long hair of light pink mixed with silver braided pony tail, and eyes that are close to crimson but lighter in tone, her uniform was neat wearing a red military like dress jacket with a black dress skirt while wearing two heavy bags on her belt, hanging from her belt was the pistol.
"Please rest assured now that I'm here.
Let's save everyone lives.
Even if all lives will have to be sacrificed."
The last line made Izuku confused and a bit scared but no time for worries, as Izuku quickly went up to the young women and introduce himself while explaining his dire situation.
"He..hello my name is Izuku Midoriya, I am sorry to have summon you here all of a sudden but please please, save my dad I don't want him to die."
The women looks at Izuku for a moment but nods right away
"Of course, I will save him by destroying all that plagues him so rest assured, also apologies for not introducing myself early but my name is Florence Nightingale servant of the Berserker class at your service."
With that she nods and grabs Izuku as they hurried off to Hisashi's location, leaving Gilgamesh behind to put away the shield.
"Although dying is a part of life losing those closes to you is something even I wouldn't want, although that's when I begin to have accepted my own mortality back then..."
"Better do something about the surveillance system, I don't want the Midoriyas to be facing more trouble then they need to be," with that Gilgamesh taps on his tablets and disappear from the rooftop.
Izuku been through a lot within the 24 hours, but he doesn't know what to think of this at the moment as he was being carried away like a package by this women know as Florence Nightingale running through the hospital's halls to reach the room his dad was kept in.
The surgery was complete the surgeons could now only monitor his condition as there wasn't much else to do. His body was already to weak and no stamina were left to help them further his treatment.
Doctor as well as Surgeon who had the quirks necessary all needed the patient to be an a certain condition of health in order help ,but in this case Hisashi was already to far gone.
The room was empty as all doctors and surgeons had left, to treat other patients that have also arrived from the same incident. With this small amount of time the pair arrive, letting Nightingale began her work, since the doctors already finish tending to the wound she began by using her skills to further improve the healing process, she use her skill "Nurse of steel"
The room was filled with green light, as colors began to return to Hisashi deathly paled skin, but it wasn't enough as whatever quirk AFO used to attack with was still eating his inside slowly, but still at it.
"Hmm seems that this isn't enough to repel them, very well, Stand back Izuku..." and Nightingale began her chant
"I will purge all that is toxic,
all that is harmful!
For as long as I have this power,
I shall lead everyone to happiness!
Nightingale Pledge!"
As she chanted a giant figure of nurse who look similar to Nightangale appears wielding a giant sword appears and slashed down towards Hisashi, Izuku was afraid of what will happen but a wave of green energy spread throughout the hospital.
Those who Izuku have met within the past hours all feel a wave of energy healing them in certain ways. For Allmight he felt his head Injuries getting better along with his bruised body, Gran Torino was feeling rejuvenated from his quirk jet use, Hospital staffs along with Recovery Girl who helped work on Inko and Hisashi all felt their stamina return.
As for Hisashi the quirk's ability that was eating him away, was completely gone and his health was coming back to him,but his missing and damaged organs would still need to be fixed by the doctors. As of now the Doctors won't need to worry about Hisashi being to weak to handle the process.
Florence Nightingale relay this info to Izuku, how his father is stable but his organs will still need to be fixed or transplant by others.
After which Izuku thanked her and ran to find Recovery Girl who was with his Mother who was now completely healed without any problems, thanks to Nightingale's Noble Phantasm.
Izuku didn't want to lie but told Recovery Girl that his dad seems to look better, at first Recovery Girl thought of it as the optimistic thinking of a child's wish but she couldn't ignore the idea that the critical condition patient was getting better so she left to see Hisashi's condition.
To the Hospital staff surprise Hisashi was Indeed in a much better condition, many of the doctors speculated it was a quirks doing, or a miracle as many of them were feeling better and old back pains were healed, even Allmight joined in on the theory.
Only for them to get scold by Recovery Girl as they forgot for a moment that a patient was still here in dire need of help.
Nightingale like Gilgamesh were no where to be seen.
The surgery continued on without any issue the transplant may take some time to come in as no exact match would fit Hisashi so a artificial lung and stomach was placed in, but a few issue still exist one was Hisashi quirk as it was no longer there, but more importantly is he wasn't waking up.
He was sadly in a coma, possibly from the traumatic near death experience or possibly due the blunt forces of the injuries that impacted him, or maybe the abilities of another quirk.
Recovery Girl and staff gave Inko the run down on what she'll need to do if Hisashi were to be taken care of at home and the number she can call if she needs help.
It was about 4 days before the Inko and Izuku were released, Hisashi on the other hand would need to stay as he was still awaiting transplant. Before they were able to leave, they were stopped by a agent of the Hero Commission
"Hello, Mrs. and Mr. Midoriya my name is Shou Naraku, I am here on behalf of the Hero Commission, we would like to ask you to not say anything about this event of this past Tuesday, if they were to ask, then you are to say that there was a terrorist attack, and Allmight was able to defeat them."
"Umm... but Allmight didn't defeat "them" thou, and why are we going to lie to people, the Villain was defeated..." Izuku was immediately cut off, by Shou Naraku
"Yes , but by a third party none the less, and a villain at that, how would the public feel that Allmight is tossed aside while the Villains fought against each other, it would bring chaos we're lucky the "terrorist" fried any sort recording or else our society would be in a total uproar." Shou retorted with serious but exaggerated movements.
"He...HE wasn't a villain, he saved us even saved Allmight, even if he didn't have a License he was a Hero or at least a Vigilante!" Izuku choked out those last words as he knew Gilgamesh was one of Humanities's oldest Heroes.
"There you have it, you admit it he broke the law, he had no license and he interfered with a job of a pro-hero, I bet that's why Allmight couldn't beat the Terrorist because he had three additional baggage's or four in total that he needed to be worry about, and then when Allmight was about to Win, the Villain just swoop in for the finishing blow taking Allmight win, I thank you boy for providing such an insight on what truly happen," Naraku finishes with a smirk.
"But.."
"Before you say anything else, Izuku Midoriya remember you can only do so much, who will the people believe the Hero Commission and Number one Hero Allmight,
or some quirkless brat with his family who is trying to Justify the actions of a Villain or Vigilante, which by the way their the same if you ask me,"
Inko had enough she was about reply before Naraku cuts her off as well
"Now now I wouldn't say much after all, since your husband is out of commission, income in your house will be slow even if you do get a job you'll have to worry about the money that is needed not only for your home but also that to keep your dear Hisashi alive, we'll happily supply you the money as it is in our responsibility to do so, but why should we help those who agrees with Villains."
with that Naraku's smirk became a feral grin eyes sharpen, Inko didn't care about the money she can worry about that later, for this man insulted not only her son but her family as a whole, and along with their savior so she was going to retort before someone else intervene.
"That enough! please remove yourself from the premises immediately or I'll happily assisted you out," Allmight says while aiding his side were Gran Torino, Sir Night Eye, and Recovery Girl who glared at the agent.
Naraku quickly turns around and his expression changed from his feral grin to a fake businessman smile, "ah, if it isn't our great hero Allmight making sure the victims are safe, truly a good representation of what all hero's should aim for well please have a nice day everyone ," with that Naraku walked off the premises.
The Midoriya's were shaken to see such a horrible man to represent the branch of the Hero Commission but they were surprised to see Allmight and the rest of these heroes as well.
"I am terribly sorry about that, I didn't know the Commission would send someone like that, and for that I would like to formally apologize," with that Allmight gave a 90 degree bow, before both Midoriya tried to get him to raise his head
"I would also like to apologize for a few more things one would be for myself not being able to protect you all back then, and the other sadly, would be to ask you both to agree to this story." Allmight said with an apologetic voice.
"It's fine Allmight, you tried your best, but why must we keep this story up rather then telling the truth like you always do?" Izuku asked with genuine confusion on his face, he knew lies would at times be necessary, but a lie that cost the live of over ten thousand people?
"Because this about the face of the hero society and of Allmight status himself, which as upsetting as its necessary to maintain peace..,"
Night Eye said and continued,
"...If it were any hero joining the fray of the battle we could've awarded that individual or praised their assistance, but not only is this person a Vigilante there is no records of his existence anywhere, along with that no sign of a registered quirk, although we do all agree he did the right deed he still broke the law, and worst he may very well be a fugitive from another country which may cause international issues as well..."
"not only that, this individual was able to fight a foe who almost defeated Allmight, if word got out it won't be that simple thing as yesterday's old news but chaos as villains will be bolder as they know Allmight can be defeated while the civilian will start to feel unsafe that someone is able to defeat Allmight, and a nameless Vigilante(?) Came in and defeated the foe."
Izuku looked down on the floor and Nodded in agreement while his mother patted his back knowing that Izuku is seeing more of the ugly truth that is society.
With that the hero were Filing out the door and letting police officer in to take statements of the events since the Midoriyas are both rested, before that happens Izuku ran up to Allmight and asked him a question he already had the answers to, thanks to three people in his life, but he wanted to see and hear what Allmight had to say.
"Allmight, can someone quirkless still become a hero?"
Allmight hesitated, he heard the things Naraku had said earlier of the boy being quirkless, but he didn't comment on it, now he is asked by the same boy whose father jumped out to save him, and who he promised to save his son and wife he knew he could only say one thing, that would keep the promises of saving Hisashi's son,
"Young Midoriya, what you did that day was very heroic saving me by buying time, but being a pro-hero is dangerous you witnessed it firsthand, you saw what a villain can do and look what Happened to your father and you saw what happened to me, so no, I am very sorry to say it's too dangerous, but there are many other field you can pursue that are just as heroic like the first responders police officer, firefighters, doctors, or even the Japanese defense force there are other fields you can pursue. I am sorry but without a quirk you can't become a pro hero."
With that Allmight gave a small nod letting the officers in for questioning.
"Please forgive me Young Midoriya, but I can't let you throw away your life your father asked me to save" Allmight thought to himself.
Izuku was quickly hugged by his mother who could only glare at Allmight's retreating back, haven't her family been through enough, first her husband was about to die who is now in a coma, then a crude agent delivering a message that is more of a threat then anything, and Now Allmight of all people telling her dear Son to give up his dreams.
Inko knew that being a Hero was dangerous, now even more, she wished Izuku wouldn't choose this career, as a mother she wanted him safe, but she would never tell him to give up a dream that he always held dear to him and she promised that 5 years ago with her husband to support him.
"Izuku? Sweetie are you okay?"
Izuku slowly turned around although it seemed like he was about to cry he quickly wiped his eyes and told her,
"don't worry mom, you and dad believe me and that's all I need, I will be a true hero that will save people with everything that I got!" Izuku finishes with determination in his eyes.
Inko was worried more, but to see her son unaffected and still standing with pride she couldn't help but to hug him once again. "I know you will sweetie I know you'll become the best hero the world will ever know."
Chapter 4. Explanation and Revelation
After a few hours the police have finish taking the "official" statement from the Midoriyas, both mother and son arrived home and immediately collapse onto the couch tired.
A simple birthday trip evolved into this, what was their luck? Since today was a Saturday there was no school, both Inko and Izuku decided to take a nap to rest their tired mind, when they woke up it was almost 7, so Inko went to make dinner.
As she was preparing for dinner she decided to ask some questions that she been bugged out about,
"Izuku, who was that man who saved us, you seem... familiar with him.."
Izuku took a deep breath before saying anything else, what should do, should he lie to his mother who has been through so much, but then he decided to tell the truth,
"Mom before I answer you...can you turn around?"
Which Inko stopped what she was doing to turn around and look at her son,
"Is this fine sweetie?"
"Yes, but I need you to promise me you won't freak out what happens next, can you promise me that?" Izuku asked in a serious tone.
Inko wonder why he would asked that but shrugs it off, what the worst that can happen,
"Sure Sweetie"
"Okay, (deep breath*) King Gilgamesh, you guys there?" With that both figures appear beside Izuku, who looks in relief that they weren't part of a dream, but was cut off from his thought as he heard his mother scream
"Who are you people and what are you doing in my house?!" Inko Screams.
"Mom! You promised, please calm down, I can er... Kinda explain I mean King Gilgamesh will help of course..ummmm"
Both Servants looked at the panic Son and Mother with sweat drops forming on their heads
"This will take sometime to get use to"
Was the thought that both of them had as they could only stare.
Few moments later
"Okay would you all like dinner, before we discuss about this?" Inko asks the servant after slightly calming down.
"We servants don't need nutrients to sustain ourselves, but we do enjoy the occasional food, some more then other, but if it's not to much trouble then I would like some." The one known as Nightingale answers.
"So would I," Gilgamesh follows along.
Dinner was Izuku favorite Katsudon, Gilgamesh and Nightingale seems to have no real preference but were respectful and finished their portions, after everyone was done Inko was the first to speak,
"So where do we start?"
"I guess you could say when I got these symbols on my hands,"Izuku shows his mother.
"But the doctors said..."
"Mom I know what the doctor said but this isn't exactly a quirk nor is it related I think?" Izuku replied
"You are correct Izuku, that isn't a quirk, what you have on your hands is a command seal, but we'll get to that later Midoriya Inko, as Izuku has introduced us earlier my names is Gilgamesh the King of Uruk, humanities earliest hero or first..."
"And I am Florence Nightingale some may know me as the Angel of Crimea"
Inko could only nod her head, but grew suspicious of the two.
"I understand your suspicion, but this is only the start as you two would have no idea of the world your about to be welcome into." Gilgamesh explains.
"There is more to your world then just quirks, magic exist and so does what you humans considered supernatural as well, Gods, Hero's of Myth and Legends, monster, demons and angels all exist, the reason why the world isn't filled with it is because of the modern society awareness and interconnection."
"But many of the mythical beings are also current living in the reverse side of the world, a different plain of existence, if you will"
"Mystery's is what keeps that power, that world of magic alive, but acknowledgement and the beliefs of humans changing, weakens the power and ties to that worlds existence, the more the poeple know the weaker magic gets until it disappears, it has been that way for a long time since my Era know as the age of gods where magic or mana was plentiful and all around, now limited..."
"but I am no longer too sure if this rules of secrecy still apply anymore...something drastic have changed in this world within the last hundred years," Gilgamesh closes his eyes while he raises a hand to stop them before anyone could ask any form of questions about his thoughts.
"Anyways, You see Servants like myself and Nightingale we come from a place called The Throne of Heroes, a place where when ones who completes a goal or deed of great value in humanities history can enter after the individual past on, some are actually there due to the being born from beliefs such as from myths and legends, some are there as a place holder until the time they complete their needed deeds, and there are quite a few more different ways and reason one could end up there..."
"...and no that doesn't mean we are ghost, rather we are know as Heroic Spirits in a form of servants."
"The throne is a timeless place, but when we are there we can be summon back to earth no matter if it the past, future, present, or even in a parallel universe or an alternative universe, by people like Izuku who are called master ,and we become servants, the difference of a servant to that of a heroic spirit is that we aren't at our full capabilities, we are in no way weak but it just means we specialize only in one area rather then all we have in life, for Instance my epic tells tales of my many abilities but here I am only a caster which I specialize in it, rather then what I am in my legends. Also Heroic spirits is our true self and can carry out powers more powerful then this servant form before you, but only the Earth itself, may summon that form usually in a time of great distress. We essentially become copies or clones split off from the main spirit,"
"when we return to the throne where our true selves are at we will retain our copies memories as if they are a book, however copies that are summon to earth shouldn't have knowledge of any previous summoning unless intervene by a familiar individual usually a master, which is another reason I was confused as to why things like this is happening as I haven't met anyone familiar but retain a lot of memories from my other selves."
"In which case I will go look into this myself, I know of a few groups that I can pay a visit to, given that if they still exist in this world or timeline, it hard to know this while we servants are provided general knowledge of eras we arrived in it doesn't give us knowledge on everything in the world so gathering info may take awhile." Gilgamesh says while he looks at the floor figuring out their next possible moves.
"Some faction should still exist, after allhaving two Noble Phantasm activated in one night in prefectures not two far away is sure to attrac some attention and needing cover ups, but That Mongrel name Shou was it, seems like he just needed a scapegoat or someone to pin the blame rather then doing a actual cover, hmmm the situation here is just getting more complicated..." Gilgamesh thought as he grew more concern over what is happening in this era.
"Umm, King Gilgamesh, back on the roof you said I have other abilities it's not a quirk, but do you mean I have or can use magic?" Izuku ask with his eyes gleaming with hope and full of expectations.
"Why, Yes Izuku that would be the case, but it won't be true magic from the age of gods rather, you are capable of using the product of magecraft which was created with science, modern humans called Magus or Magi did researches and develop it, while holding onto the old dreaming of reaching that level one day, but it still quite versatile and some of the highest mage under right conditions were able to defeat some servants but of course those servant weren't exactly my level nor anywhere near it, but magecraft is still much powerful then some quirks, one of these that you may possibly learn allows user to travel between parallel worlds."
"I said I will teach and that still hold true, we'll begin soon after I finishing addressing with a few of my concerns, afterwards we can begin our first few lessons, from history of beings like us, to magecraft, and many other lesson to make you Izuku into a Hero." Gilgamesh points at Izuku with a Prideful smile, and Izuku beams with excitement.
Inko although went through so much stress couldn't help but smile that her Son was going to actually become a hero and was going to be tutor by the King of Heroes himself.
Meanwhile in the background Nightingale saw that Gilgamesh had the information session covered, so she begins to clean the dinner table with care, that turned into a full house cleaning, as she believes a proper lesson must be taught in a healthy and clean environment thus she cleansed the house, not to say Inko was slacking but by the time everyone noticed the house was spotless and sitting at the table was a proud nightingale quietly enjoying tea Inko made early on.
"Oh, before we continue on the topic of training I will tell you about your command seal on your hand. As it's name implies it what is use to command, for Master to use on servants to give undeniable orders, to power up, to heal, the list goes on but it will be used on servants. There is total of three before it vanishes, but your is different it can be replenished unlike the usuals one given out in a Grail Wars that would take form of servant class, but yours seems to stem from Chaldea's Organization, this would probably explains why your Magic Circuits within you seems so strange as it so high, but yours is definitely not from a bloodline of any sorts, but it seems the patterns for the command seals have heavily modified too."
Gilgamesh takes Izuku right hand to take a closer inspection of the command seal, while holding the left hand which wasn't a command seal but he never seen this pattern not even in his previous summon, but chooses to say nothing as unknown factors has already made Izuku's mother seem more worried.
"I feel this maybe enough information tonight as I know this is a lot to take in, but if its alright for me to borrow your computer or laptop for some researches," Gilgamesh asked.
With that Inko nodded, her son apparently summons people now and can learn magic like from her old kid show, "I mean what else can happen."
Midnight
Despite the servant claiming they don't need rest, Inko still prepared a guest room for the two Servants,Nightingale went to sleep, but Gilgamesh took the families laptop away to the roof top to begin a couple of projects along with his researches.
It was around 3:30am when the door open, Gilgamesh didn't bother to hide or disappear as he knew who it was,
"Izuku, its still quite late, I am guessing you can't sleep?" With that Izuku Nodded.
"Hmm figured so after all, these past four days were no simple steps, and finding out the world isn't what you exactly know it as is indeed something to keep you up." As he finishes he closed the laptop and gestures Izuku over to have a seat.
"There will be plenty of time Where I will explain more of magecraft and its history, but I suppose this isn't what you wanted to hear then is it?" Izuku again nods his head.
"Is this perhap about the large oaf, with the arrogant name of Allmight, and what he told you?"
Izuku flinched at someone being disrespectful to Allmight, but then again this is the king of heroes
"Yes..."
"But I am guessing, it also because of your confusion of where you stand, he who you looked up to told you to give up, but I feel he may have his reasons, and although you are quirkless you have powers that would make you different from others, is that what worries you?"
"Mhmm." Izuku answers.
"Well what is your answer then..." Gilgamesh asked because he knew Izuku already had an answer and was just looking for someone to talk to.
"I will still be a hero, even if I didn't have the abilities of magecraft or a quirk, I will still do it, I know that magic isn't the same as quirks but so what, if I can save a person then it's a extra life that I can save with this power, like I said when I first met you Gilgamesh I wouldn't know If I never try, I will give it my all to save everyone that I can reach!" Izuku says while jumping to his feet then quickly apologize as he notice that he wasn't using honorifics.
Gilgamesh seeing this laughs,"haha it's fine if I were in my younger days you would've been gone no matter if you are my master, but it's fine I am glad to still see you still so determined and that you understand one thing even with these powers not all life can be saved, you aren't as narrow minded as that Allmight, and that you will push and give it your all, with that I will allow you to just call me Gilgamesh."
"Can I call you Mr. Gilgamesh then It feel odd not giving you honorifics hehe.." Izuku nervously chuckles while rubbing the back of his head.
"Do as you wish although it sounds odd, as long as you don't give me a distasteful-name It'll be fine."
With that it was complete silence with exception of Izuku asking questions and Gilgamesh answering away as he typed away on the laptop.
At around 5am Izuku finally grew too tired and begin to drift on to sleep. Which Gilgamesh noticed and carried him back to his room, and he returns to the roof to continue on his research and work. As sunrises he decided to call it for the day as he didn't want to work himself to death just yet, but decides to look into the many possibilities of future for Izuku, and then he paled.
"Haha, We're definitely going to need a bigger place, sigh* I wish your here to assist me, like back then Si..."
A Few weeks later, Summer vacation
"Um I appreciate your time teaching my son a bit on magecraft, but do you really think it's necessary for me to put so much money to invest in these specific stocks, and these different companies, I mean I'm not Hisashi but I don't feel like this is a safe plan.." Inko questions as she and Nightingale begins to prepare lunch.
"He may not seem like it but this is one of his areas of expertise," Nightingale answered as she was basically scrubbing the pans and plates till their shining although she did the same yesterday.
Gilgamesh ignored the statement and coughed into his hand, then he pulls out what seems like infinite wealth out of gate," My skill and my personal treasury will replace what's lost if that does happen, at first I was going to simply use my skill and wealth by providing the funds necessary for any future needs, but for a few reason I decided against it first it'll be suspicious if money randomly appears, and another would be you two, because both would refuse, as it would feel wrong , and the ideal of wanting to earn something rather then to be given, which I am not opposed to it."
"Also the funding will provide Izuku and I more equipments along with any materials we need for magecraft, and just in case the Commission for what ever reason do decide to cut their support for Hisashi's condition we'll have no problem covering it at all."Inko nodded at Gilgamesh's explanation.
"Also we should or rather are pulling commander Izuku out of school for next semester and possibly until he enters UA." Nightingale added.
"Wait?! Why should we, I mean I pull Izuku out of school ?" Inko asked in surprise.
"Well Because commanders been hiding this from you, my apologies commander," with that Nightingale pulled off Izuku shirt to show some bruising and slight burn marks that seems like their from a hand Izuku size. These were fresh not from a few weeks ago, not from that incident.
"Wh...hhat, Izu.. sweetie why would you hide this from me why.." Inko begins to cry, Izuku held out his hand shaking them, but put them down,
"Because... I didn't want you or dad to worry, you the most since I was diagnosed quirkless you protected me, and I appreciate it but I know you'll always be worried sick about me for the littlest things so I hid it from you I didn't want you to worry anymore then you have to," Izuku looked down in shame.
Inko cry's while hugging her son saying she sorry just like 5 years ago but this time she decided to say,
"I'm sorry For being such a bad mother, even though you were hurting, but now I know you are one of the strongest people out there and from now on I'll believe you all the way just promise me you'll stay safe okay?"
"I'll try but I don't know if I can be safe working as a hero but I'll try,and mom your the best mom out there," Izuku says while hugging his mother
"So, tell me who did this to you, I think I know who it is but I need you to tell me," Inko ask in a serious tone
"I... I ca.."
"A little angry Pomeranian, named Bakugou Katuski," Gilgamesh spoke up from his newly bought Tablet, before Izuku can reply
"Indeed, his nitroglycerin sweat hand was constantly used to assault Commander, while spiting profanity about commander's status as someone subhuman." Nightingale added in.
Izuku stood still frozen by their blunt but true response, Gilgamesh and Nightingale were and would be able to help Izuku avoid Bakugou's outside assault most of the time but once in school they couldn't, as this would trouble Izuku, since the teachers would call out him being the one to assault Bakugou.
"Those filth that claims to be teachers should have its licenses taken away and locked up, truly a shame, and from what Gilgamesh has shown me the surrounding schools are no better" Nightingale continued.
Izuku's teacher were fine till he he finished 1-2 grade it was when 3rd grade started when he notice they cared less and less about Bakugou 'horseplay'.
"Izuku, I'll go have a chat with Mitsuki and Masaru real quick, you Guys can stay home or go out and eat it will be awhile also don't worry about going to school next semester I will homeschool you, just got to get everything in order."Inko walk out of the apartment fuming and headed straight for the Bakugou's home.
Local Dinner
"Why did you guys do that now Kacchans gonna be in trouble now!" Izuku says as he orders a kids meal of hamburger with potato wedges with orange juice.
Across from him sits Gilgamesh sporting a loose blue dress shirt, while wearing white dress pants and some black dress shoes. To Izuku's side was Nightingale wearing red pleated shirt with a white sleeveless skirt and her usual white boots.
"Well, its simple Izuku because you'll never say it, because it's to keep 'his' dream of being a hero safe, you still believe he can become a hero after all of this? Sigh* if he doesn't change now he won't even fit the basics of the modern standard of a hero," Gilgamesh says as he orders a steak medium rare with a side of Ale.
"He's right commander, this rude individual you called Kacchan isn't your friend,it's not healthy for you to still chase after him and act as if he is, We, well I understand you look up to him as a sign or symbol of always winning, but there are many others you can look up to, you just need time to meet the right people, atleast not him at the time being,also my apologies on not using my skills to heal you as we needed evidence in order for the plan to work out with Inko," with that Nightingale orders a simple house salad with water.
"I know you guys are right and looking after me but..."
"No buts Izuku, your parents raised you too proper which is good but the classmates that beat you docile and socially awkward is making you suffer, and we'll have to change that as well, it's not bad but not always the best, others will take advantage of that," Gilgamesh says, with that Nightingale adds in
"With time you'll grow and see, and so will he hopefully but you'll definitely meet people who will truly be friends with you," Izuku listens and nods his head silently as he think about these words, and looks at the two of his "serv.." no "friends" and smile.
"I may not have to wait and meet them.." and then the food arrived, as food was served Izuku noticed that Gilgamesh was still thinking about something he was about to ask when Gilgamesh asked them both about a trip.
"How would you all like a trip to Antarctica."
Nightingale knew what was there, but Izuku, "wait where are we going?"
Bakugou's Residents
"Welcome Inko, what a surprise how is Hisashi, is he getting better anytime soon, and same with Izuku where is he?"
"Mitsuki.. we need to talk is Masaru and Katsuki home?"
"Yes their both home... do you want to come in..."Mitsuki ask as she never seen Inko like this.
Within a few minutes the Bakugou's all gather in the living room and sat on the couch across from them was a very serious looking Inko midoryia.
"So... wh" as Masaru was about Ask Inko begins to talk.
"Katsuki... why did you burn, insult, and bully Izuku with your quirk?"
Everyone of the Bakugou's froze even Katsuki, but he then return with an answer,
"To show the damn nerd his place, why else would I waste my time on him," Mitsuki and Masaru were shocked that their son admitted assaulting Izuku with his quirk no less.
"Why, what did he do to deserved this" Inko grips her skirt while looking at the boy with tear in her eyes.
"Because, Deku was looking down on me he thinks his quirkless self was better then me, so I taught him his place and everyone agrees with me," Katsuki answers with his a wild smile.
"And How did Izuku look down on you," Inko ask.
"He offered me a hand when I fell into a stream, I was fined didn't need any help but Deku feels like he better then me thinking I was weak needing his hand but I didn't!"
Inko Stood up, "Mitsuki Masura, I think we heard enough and you guys will do something about it because Izuku for as long as this had happen has been hiding this from me and I didn't find out until today, I regret not being there when he needed help the most, but for you two I hope that you can make Katsuki someone who isn't blinded by his pride and ego." With that Inko left closing the door quietly behind her.
"Katsuki? Was what Inko said true?" Masaru said in a serious voice, he was always quiet never really raised his voice and not one to express his anger.
"Yeah, so what the damn nerd had it coming thinking he's better then me, wants to be a hero without the strength to back him up, and couldn't even help his dad when he said he was going to 'save' people what a joke," Katsuki says while not looking in his fathers eyes.
Mitsuki slaps Katsuki across the face,
" You always wanted to be a hero, is this how a hero acts, Brat you better listen up well because I won't say this again but this isn't how someone who wants to be a hero behave like!"
Katsuki clenched his fist while glaring at his mother "Oh, Yeah you old Hag what do you and the old man know about being a hero, Old man gave up his dream because he know he ain't cut for it and you hag never even wanted to be one in the first place!"
"Katsuki!" As Mitsuki was about to scold Masaru held up his arm and look at his son
"Yes, I did have A dream once of becoming a hero but I stopped that dream because I also had future and passion in the field of fashion design, But Katsuki what do you think a hero is?" Masaru asked.
"Someone whose better then everyone else and who always kicking villains asses and winning!" Katsuki answers with a smile.
"What is Izuku definition of being a Hero then?" Masaru continued, which irritated Katsuki.
"I don't know something about helping and saving people, psshhh* damn nerd couldn't even save his dad, plus if they can't save themselves then they ain't worth my time," little did Bakugou know it's those last words that worried his father, and foretold one of his failures in life.
"Katsuki, do you think Allmight thinks like that, he wins yes but he still save others as well, he goes out and rescues as many people as he can, he doesn't always go out to win against villains to gloat, yes winning is important but for the right goal, you as a hero win when the day is safe or the people you are in front of are safe not by actively being out there to pick fights, yes taking down Villains is important but you got to think about the surrounding or else you may cause more harm then good, and I want you to think about your actions when you go to your room When your ready we'll head over to Izuku's place to apologizes, for everything you done, and Katsuki let me just say this the event in Tokyo even with your quirk you won't be able to save me from those terrorist." Masaru says while looking disappointed at their son.
Katsuki's hand started sparking as he was furiously walking up the stairs, "the damn Deku this is all his fault, I'll get you for this I will make you regret being in my way"
"Mitsuki, we should've been there more to guide Katsuki on going to the right path, he has power and he receive to much praise for it but not enough good to deserve them, sigh* I can only hope he learns." Masaru says while sinking into the couch.
"Yeah that Bra..er Katsuki, always did receive a lot of attention but we never really expected this to happen I just hope he can learn or at least start by apologizing to Izuku." Mitsuki says while joining him with some tea.
Midoriya's Residence
"I hope that sent a message, oh well at least Izuku has some company even though they aren't exactly regular friends," Inko thought as she opened the door to see a Bizzare scene.
In front of her were Izuku, Gilgamesh, and Nightingale who were all wearing heavy winter clothing, and its in the near end of July.
"Umm, Sweetie where are you all heading to?"
"Oh Hi Mom says we're gonna go to Antarctica for something." Izuku says enthusiastically.
Inko at first thought it was a joke but then remember, Gilgamesh has a air craft called Vimana, Inko is a easy going person, but under so much stress after this past week and today she kinda had enough and fainted.
"Mom!" As Izuku was about run over and catch her Nightingale caught her instead ready to do her job as a nurse, with that Gilgamesh hurriedly picked up Izuku under his arm and ran towards the apartments roof top, "Gilgamesh we still didn't get my mom's approval, and wait what about Nightingale!"
"Trust me Izuku after a long few weeks and a stressful event like today she'll need a nice rest, plus I don't think she'll allow it anyways,mother's are not to be messed with under quite a few circumstances especially when it comes to their children, so she'll defiantly not want you to go,and don't you worry Nightingale will most likely prefer to do her job as a nurse so helping out your fainted mother, it will be fine, anyways if you need her you can summon her to us," Gilgamesh explains as he hops off the roof with Izuku landing on Vimana which soon flew away towards Antarctica.
Tokyo Imperial Palace same day
"Hohoho, Prime Minister Sakata Motoi what brings you here to my backyard? You usually don't visit till near New Years to give my yearly briefing, unless you feel I am getting too old hohoho, I assure you, I am perfectly fine and when spring comes again I will Shine along side the cherry blossoms." An short elderly bald man who wearing a brownish green kimono says while motions his Koi's to gather as it was their daily feeding time.
Behind the elder was a slightly younger but still aged individual who has a hair of silver not by age but rather naturally as such, and he had a slightly wrinkled face with eyes that one can describe as the dead fish eyes,
"Emperor Tokugawa, you know I don't have much time to freely meet you, and I know despite being 80 you still have a spirit of a 20 years old, but this is important after 100 something years, "servants" have returned to earth, few weeks ago we had to do more then Just a simple cover up for AFO and Allmight but also for the strong Mana outburst of a single servant, a servant summoning, and two Noble Phantasm." Minister Motoi said with full seriousness.
"Hoho? This is indeed interesting has the Church or The members of the Clocktower reached out to us or to that master? Or any other third parties? I thought after the Fuyuki Grail war we agreed to never hold another one and it will be locked away permanently so why did servants appear?" The emperor asked in a amused tone.
"Here are the full report on the events of that night, but to answer your question no for both sides, we were able to cover it up quite well, unless they just choose to not do anything, and no, no other third party besides AFO at the locations, and as for reaching out to us that's also a negative besides those hungry media, and that's still the case the grail is still secured and all Nations agrees to never touch it, so we are still unsure why servants were summoned ,"Motoi answers in all seriousness and a bit tired tone.
"Ho, I see I see, and why bring this up to little old me? Don't you just need me to do some formal ceremony and that's it?" Emperor says,
"As you were one of the few who knows about that world I wanted to ask for your advice sir, what should we do?" Motoi ask while not moving any closer to Emperor Tokugawa
"Don't bother the master for now," was the answer Prime Minister received
"I see, but may I ask why?" Motoi ask while expression still unchanged.
"I am fairly sure We know who the master is based on the reports although We know not of his two Servants are, but I trust the child will grow up to be a fine young man and we should support it, after all it's the first master in a hundred years who summons not for a Grail War, nor for fixing history to prevent humanities end, but just seems to be saving others, why should we corner him he didn't do anything wrong and last I checked those laws only worked on quirks, hoho.."
"...after all we are not the commission, so I say let him grow, as I feel great change will come to this society like Allmight, but not by making a single pillar but rather multiple, and leading society forward, further then where we are today and for the better, as the elders we will watch only and guide the youngster when they need it... speaking of the commission are you planning on doing anything about them? Their program of nurturing a hero isn't really ..." Emperor Tokugawa looks back at Motoi for the first time as he finishes feeding the Koi.
"We're trying our best they been a faction of their own for a bit to long and the management of the Heroes aren't perfect as we can see by some of these Hero's behavior, but we are trying our best, and Emperor I will keep this boy in mind and trust your judgement then, have a nice night," with that the Prime Minister left leaving Emperor Tokugawa staring at the moon with full anticipations in his eyes.
"So a master has appeared after all this time let's see what you will do, Midoriya Izuku, hoho."
