[New Jaku Research Facility - Secure Room]
Bakugo and All Might await in front of a locked door. The former, very impatient asking his senior hero.
Bakugo: "Why is this taking so long? It's a no brainer on what needs to happen for the kid. We're running out of time!"
The elderly All Might would rest a hand on the young hero's gauntlet to assure him.
All Might: "Rest yourself young Bakugo. Nothing like this has ever really happened before in OFA's history. Midoriya is not only trying to do right by this child, but by the spirits past that gave up their lives to make this power exist."
Bakugo: "*Tch*!!!"
All Might: "This is a conversation, that has never happened. But needs to."
******************
Izuku Midoriya.
The 9th user of the transferable Quirk. One For All.
Given to him by the world's greatest hero. Toshinori Yagi.
Fate had brought them together to create a bond almost like no other user of the Quirk had before.
Being the only two quirkless recipients of the power, they had already had their answer. But, this wasn't a simple matter between two people.
Deku had to make sure all were on board.
All 9 wills.
Thus, he mediated, concentrating so deep until he was in a realm all too familiar.
[Vestige Realm - One For All]
In a world where echoes of the past meet the present.
A barren room with nothing but throne-like seats surrounding darkness. Save for Toshinori, all of the users of One For All were accounted for:
Yoichi Shigaraki[Quirk Bestowal]
Kudo[Gearshift]
Bruce[Fa-Jin]
Hikage Shinomori[Danger Sense]
Daigoro Banjo[Blackwhip]
En Tayutai[Smokescreen]
Nana Shimura[Float]
Here, it must be decided on whether or not Kazuto Utarou, will be the 10th user, of One For All.
However, they were all silent. Staring their current successor, as he presents his reasoning.
Izuku: "I know what you all must be thinking. Because you know my heart as well. Each of us had a reason to accept this burden. Forced. Accidental. A Test. To Shelter. A Promise. To Keep Going. To Never Give Up. To Finish. To Dream. In effort to stop one man. His plans, mostly foiled, are still beating like a heart. And are plaguing the futures of many. One of which is fleeting by the moment. I know my answer, but I will give you all what was not given in the past. A choice. A choice to gift this power once again to the future of this world. This child who was born with nothing, as I once was. But I will plead. Please, my predecessors. My heroes. Let us prove the true worth of One For All. To save. "
Silent as they were. All of the vestiges looked to one another. Until the darkness of the realm vanished.
Izuku Midoriya was done conversing.
Walking out the room, he steadily moved passed Bakugo and All Might.
Bakugo: "Deku?"
All Might: "Midoriya..."
Toshinori saw the sharpness in the eyes of his protege. A look that he had seen in his own master and one he had worn himself when he realized Izuku's potential.
His mind was made up.
Deputy Commissioner Takami was monitoring the frail Kazuto, seeing his health decline, awaiting a certain hero.
His worries would practically vanish when he sees Deku enter the room with Kazuto.
Izuku: "Could you all please leave the room for awhile."
"We're still checking his vitals sir."
The intercom speaker would then sound.
Hawks: Please, can medical staff leave the room momentarily. That's an order!
The word of their boss spoke volumes as the room cleared. Leaving only the one of most powerful heroes and a baby.
Deku stood aside of the medical container. There he was.
Chronologically, he was 5 years of age. But he was no less than a few months biologically due to the Rewind serum that pushed him into such a state. The only thing that could possibly save him, was placing a Quirk where there was none.
Izuku observes the boy. His gaze fixed on him. He thinks back on the life he has lived so far.
A Quirkless boy. Watching his heroes on tv and in person. Wanting to just grasp a portion of such an experience.
Yet, what he took a hold on was far more than he could've ever expected.
U.A High School. The League of Villains. His friends. Rivals. The lives he's saved. The lives he's changed. Those that he wished could've been saved.
All was brought upon by the miraculous gift that is of One For All.
While in thought, he takes a small scalpel on the table.
Izuku:"*umph*"
Making a small nick in his finger. Just enough to draw blood.
He stares at the drop of blood upon his finger. The spirits of the Quirk appear behind him.
Hikage(4th): "You are true hero Izuku, never regret yourself. Or your choice."
Daigoro(5th): "Don't be too bent outta shape! We'll take care of the boy just like you helped this power!"
En(6th): "You shown me that my power could be far more useful in death than in life. I'll teach this one the same."
Bruce(3rd): "In war, we're often focus on the fight, and not those who need saving. I'll save this one."
Kudo(2nd): "He'll have time to understand what he's been bestowed. Time that none of us never had. We'll do this...the right way."
Nana(7th): "...such a pure, blank slate."
Looking at the baby. The seventh user thinks back to her own faults. As a teacher, mother, and grandmother. Her heart even as a spirit of pure power continues to ache.
Nana(7th): "I will not fail you, Kazuto."
The first user, the one that was forced to begin this journey all those years ago.
Yoichi(1st): "I remember...the moment my brother placed his hand upon me to forced me unto his vision. Now, what was once upon a time a curse to my life, shall now be used to bless another."
With all of the users behind him, Izuku placed a drop of his blood into a tube transferring it to the infant.
"Yes...let us bless this child...Yoichi..."
