99Chapter 1:
"What's the situation?" The doctor asked the nurse as the hero was laid down the operating table. "The villain knew of his weak spot and stabbed the same spot multiple times. I doubt he intended to kill him since the stabbed area missed any vital spots left on that side."
"A villain ignoring the possibility of killing the Symbol of Peace? Surely pigs have finally learned to fly." The doctor shook his head. "What about the other patient?"
"Bakugou has been shot five times in the spinal cord before hitting his Howitzer Impact. It's severe and the engineers are currently working on a new spine for him." The nurse explained as she handed him the scalpel. "Christ. The villain?"
"Escaped the police but was severely injured. I wouldn't be surprised if they found him dead somewhere."
"Oh please, I've heard of him. The quirkless bugger survived worse than that." The doctor wished he was joking as he stitches the stab wound. All Might's missing lung made it easier for him. He looked back at the nurse. "Who knew a few words from someone could turn another into a villain. Poor kid." The nurse only nodded along.
He was injured. That Howitzer was painful as all hell. A lot more painful than he thought it would. "Nothing personal, Kacchan." Even when he sided with them, he still cared about his former friend. Even if he was the one that unloaded on the explosive hero's spine. He told the League to go without him. They were hesitant but Tomura made them follow through for their own sake. "Good thing I wasn't the leader. I'd hate to leave Tomura behind, too."
He staggered at a wall in an alleyway, blood coming from his chest and burns all over. He was busy trying not to get caught and not bleed out at the same time. His determination finally paid off when he realized that he's near her apartment. "Shit." He's not sure whether he should drop by at a time like this. Definitely not after she found out that he was a villain all along. He wasn't sure if she would let him in, let alone not turn him over to the authorities after he just escaped from Tartarus. "One way to find out." He thought to himself as he knocks on her door.
"Ugh, what type of room service knock at a time like thi-" She froze when she saw him bleeding all over. She covered her mouth in shock at his broken form in front of her. Even after all that, he was still enough of a jackass to smile and wave at her to say hello.
"Izuku?" He nodded when she said his name. His body finally gave out as his eyes rolled at the back of his head and he crashed down to her apartment floor.
Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Much Earlier…
This is a very miserable life. If anything, he was just about ready to jump. He realized how cruel the world really is. Definitely not the best day after someone told you to kill yourself. Izuku only wanted to be a hero but society just can't allow that. He picked up his notebook, and after that, what did life do? Make a villain attack him. Of course. All Might saved him but then told him that he can't ever be a hero due to his state. Just great. He saved Bakugou from the slime monster? He got scolded. Harshly.
"That was incredibly stupid of you to do, kid. You shouldn't have gotten in the way." Kamui Woods said. Izuku knew that the hero telling him this was just concerned for him but he can't say the same for the others. He 'stole' their spotlight. One of them was furious. Mt. Lady, to be specific. "YOU STUPID BRAT!" Bakugou's cousin from the mother side. "WHAT IF YOU GOT CRUSHED HUH? THAT'S BAD PR FOR ME! YOU BETTER BE THANKFUL THAT ALL MIGHT WAS HERE!"
"Backdraft." Izuku mentioned the hero that looks like a firefighter's name. The heroes just looked confused. "Could've splashed Bakugou's hand with water to render his explosions useless. Kamui and Death Arms could have gotten in then and got him out. That way, you could easily turn big and stomp the villain." He said while facing Mt. Lady. Kamui Woods looked impressed but the other heroes were doubtful.
"Oh shut your mouth, smartass. Nobody cares what you think. You might as well sew your mouth shut." Mt. Lady, with every venom in her voice said, before being startled by the words that came out of her own mouth with a gasp. All Might, who was busy with the reporters, pretended not to hear that. Kamui was too shocked by what his fellow hero said. "MT. LADY! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN-"
She shook her own shock away caused by what she said and replaced it with a remorseless look. "Just... get out of my face, kid." She waved him off before walking away. Izuku was still quiet after she said that. It's as if his day can't get any worse. He was already broken after what All Might told him but what she said disintegrated what's left of him. He stood up before running away. "Kid…" Kamui tried to call at him helplessly as he reached his arm out. The hero faced the debuting heroine with contempt. "You went too far, Mt. Lady." The heroine only stayed quiet as she stares down at the floor while crossing her arms.
He was still running and he wasn't planning on stopping. Well, until he sees a handcrafting shop. Filled with threads and needles. There's even a bonus cassette player for the 500th customer. He was the 500th. He bought the set with a cloth mask and went to a public bathroom that almost nobody uses. He wasn't planning on doing this with an anesthetic anyway. "If this is what she wants, so be it. After this, I'll do what HE wants." He may have not been thinking clearly when he sew his mouth shut. The cassette tape came with multiple tapes put into one. Advanced technology and old ones working together. He would smile if he could. Maybe he shouldn't have tightened it up. What's done is done, anyway. He wiped the blood away from his mouth and removed his bloodied uniform, revealing his tank top tightening around his scrawny form. Nothing special.
He was already trying to find the highest point until someone screamed that nickname.
"DEKU!" He only stopped but didn't bother facing his friend. Former friend. "LOOK AT ME YOU USELESS FUCKING NERD!" He's not budging. He can't let him see his face like this.
"TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT ME! YOU GOT THREE SECONDS! THREE!" He's still not looking at him. "TWO!" His hands curled into a fist, shaking. Mixed with rage and exhaustion, he was. "ONE!" He heard an explosion coming towards him but he still didn't turn around. In just a second, he was already pinned down to the ground, facing his bully. He wasn't afraid of him anymore. Not after being afraid too many times. "I DIDN'T NEED YOUR HELP, OKAY?!"
He didn't answer him. His cassette tape did it for him. *Bzzzttt… okay…* The recorder answered with a basic female voice. Bakugou was caught off guard by this before getting angrier than before. He fired off some sparks in front of Izuku's face, burning off his cloth mask, revealing his stitched mouth. He stood up too quickly. He didn't expect to see this. "W-what happened to you?!"
*bzzzzttt… cease and desist… bzzzt*
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOURSELF, DEKU?!" Izuku could feel worry coming out of his bully's mouth. His worry only made him more upset. He clicked his tape recorder again.
*bzzztt… you are…. wvlilclockybzzztt… worried... bzzzttt… now… bakuhatsu* He gave Bakugou a questioning glance with a raised eyebrow. *bzzzttt… you are… wvlilclockybzztt… getting… bzzzt… what do you want for Christmas* He sighed internally as the cassette glitched out and used an entire sentence instead of the cut-out word. The word that was supposed to be cut-out is "Want".
"I'm getting what I… want?"
*bzztt… you wanted… me to… bzztt… jump!* The part where it says "JUMP" was a little too enthusiastic for Izuku's taste but it's the only thing he had. Stupid kid friendly voice tapes.
"Jump? What the hell are you-" Bakugou's eyes widened as he realized what he was talking about. "No… don't you fucking dare."
*bzzztt… isn't that… wvlilclockybzztt… you wanted* He's starting to get used to this cassette. He only missed a single word this time. "I DIDN'T-"
Before Bakugou could answer, he was already running away. All those years of running away made him faster than anyone in class. It didn't take three minutes before Bakugou already lost him. He sighed in relief, finally losing Bakugou. "One thing left to do…" He thought to himself.
He found a nearby tall building. Probably something owned by a company or maybe it's just a condominium. It didn't matter what it is. The guard just assumed that he was a new guy living there. He took the elevator and quickly pressed the button to the topmost floor. He was tapping his foot impatiently as the numbers rise one-by-one. 45… 46… 47… 48… 49… 50… Ironic how calming the elevator music was. It finally opened at the sixtieth floor as the wind flows freely on his face. His stitches stung ever so slightly when the wind touched it. He stepped out to stare at the beautiful city in front of him. He admired it before looking down. He was really high up at the building at night.
*RING RING*
He check his phone. It was his mom. He didn't answer it. He left it beside the elevator. He also left his bag at the railings before climbing over it. He closed his eyes and let go. He could feel the wind running violently across his face. Maybe it was a desperate attempt to save him. Maybe it was just physics class. Either way, he's delusional. "You're finally getting what you want, Kacchan, maybe this will put a genuine smile on your face. Sorry for this, mom..."
He's not sure, but he can definitely feel the ground getting closer. Right up until he felt as if he hit a cloud. It feels denser than normal but a cloud, nonetheless. After passing through it, he fell on something soft. He didn't expect to die on something soft. He opened his eyes to see a very pale teenager, only being a little older than him. Probably nineteen years old. He had a pale blue hair and his mouth looked crack. Izuku tried to stand up, but the pale teen held him back down. He noticed that the teen's pinky finger was not touching him. "Must be part of his quirk? Probably touch activated."
"Whoa, easy there, man. I found you after that slime guy attacked and decided to follow you for some time now. Why did you have to listen to Mt. Lady anyway? Your mouth's gonna be infected if we don't clean that up quick." Izuku raised his eyebrow at the teen, not knowing how to respond. He let his cassette player do the talking.
*bzztt… spite…bzztt* There was an understanding between their eyes when the cassette sounded off. "Ah, I see. Yeah, I heard what she told you. I also heard what you told them. That strategy of yours would have worked, wouldn't it? Ah, never mind about that. Hey, Kurogiri! Do you have any disinfectant there? We gotta make sure this guy doesn't die on us!"
"Yes, Tomura." A black mist appeared out of nowhere. Izuku assumed that they were the one who transported him to this location. The mist materialized a humanoid form before tending to his mouth. It only stung a little bit. "So, you're pretty good at strategizing, right, but the heroes couldn't see that? Well, one of them could, but what could one do against many? How about we make a deal? You can live here but you gotta join us."
*bzztt… please state your identity… bzztt*
"My name is Tomura Shigaraki. You've seen how those heroes treated you, right? Like some stupid noob trying to play a game. In reality, you're actually a valuable strategist for our cause. Maybe even a fighter if Sensei decides to give you a quirk." Give him a quirk? Izuku has no idea what this guy is talking about but it definitely piqued his interest. He glanced curiously at what he said, seeing as how limited his communication is, right now.
"You're interested huh? Well, I gotta warn you. When you join, there's no coming back. Society will shun you even more if they realize what you're about to become. If you don't want to join, I won't force you. We'll even give you some cash to send you on your way. So, what's it gonna be? Join us or nah?" Tomura raised his hand, half-expecting a handshake, half-expecting to be turned down. Izuku wasn't sure so he decided to continue what he was trying to say. "Society's heroes have lost their way. If anything, they're just glorified government agents. Celebrity government agents at that. All Might is their top weapon. Think about it, man! These fools think that a hero is gonna save them when trouble is near. Straight facts, Heroes can't save everyone. Weak ass hero-dependent fucks are what pisses me off the most. I just wanna destroy them so hard."
Tomura paused before continuing, trying to catch his breath. Izuku turned to look at Kurogiri, who was just standing there quietly. "Trust me, man, they'll only TRY to save you when the cameras are rolling or when the people are watching. You've seen it yourself. They're mocking you for doing a HEROIC THING when they're off camera. Those pieces of shits value power over what really makes a hero. You and me? We're just victims to their bullshit. We're the ones that truly needed their help but what did they do? Leave us to die slowly, that's what. What do you say? You wanna be society's villain? Someone that's part of the group that will FORCE these joke of a heroes to fix their shit? What's it gonna be?" That definitely convinced Izuku. He tooked his hand without hesitation and shook it.
"Welcome to the Resistance, kid. The name's a work on progress. We're just a bunch of weirdos striking back at these assholes who call themselves heroes. Looks like you're all healed up, thanks to Kurogiri. Fantastic transport and healer, by the way."
"I appreciate your comment, Tomura."
"Yeah, yeah, let Sensei meet this guy. We need to steal his notebooks. I've read one of it. His knowledge and skills could help us in the future."
"As you wish." The mist man started surrounding Izuku and Tomura with mists. Izuku shifted comfortably on his bed but Kurogiri reassured him that it wouldn't hurt. He could feel some sort of fatherly aura around the mist man.
When the darkness went away, he realized he was in another room. He looked around to see a man sitting on his chair with a machine strapped onto him, turned around. He didn't need to turn around as he spoke to Izuku. The voice felt like it came from someone with absolute authority and power. "So, Tomura has taken an interest in you?"
The answer wasn't needed to be said. The man in front of him knew it. Izuku knew it. "He has shown what you are capable of when he presented me your notebook. I have to say, I'm impressed. Tell me child, or rather, use that cassette player of yours, but can you identify this quirk? If you could guess it correctly, then it is yours." The man said before pulling out a gun and pressing a button. A target came out of nowhere. The man shot at Izuku but the shot was missed. It rebounded from the floor beside the green and black haired teen as it bounces to the ceiling before finally hitting the target. "I know it's an accuracy quirk. He'll give me an accuracy quirk, but I guess, that's all I need."
*bzztt… congratulations…wvlilclockybzztt…you have… successfully… hit… bzzzttt… target…bzztt*
"Correct. I assume you think of it as an accuracy quirk?" Izuku nodded at the man's question. "Very well, here you go. It's a good thing we found you first. My goals and Tomura's don't align, but, he's my successor. I still support him fully as I believe in his dream. I expect you to do the same." Izuku nodded again. "Good." The man in front of him only said before black vein-like claws started reaching for Izuku. He tried to get away but he was stabbed in multiple parts of his body. Instead of pain, he felt as if he was given something. The man was not kidding when he promised Izuku a quirk. After the black claws retracted itself, the man pressed another button. On the table, a revolver appeared with 'Live and Let Die' etched on it. It had a silver color and had a rose etched on the other side.
"This gun came from an old friend of mine. That is his quirk. He gave it to me as a final gift." He tossed the gun at Izuku, who reflexively caught it. "If you need any more of those in your arsenal, I will make it so that it will appear on your doorstep."
*bzztt… what did… bzztt… they… wvlilclockybzztt… call… bzzzttt… him…bzztt* Izuku only heard a hum in return before the answer was given to him. "We called him Civil War."
*bzztt… his name…bzztt… it's... bzztt… mine… bzztt… now…*
"Hmmpphh. So be it. From this day on, your codename shall be Civil War." He waved his hand dismissively before continuing. "Kurogiri, teach him. Make sure he's ready to help Tomura within ten months." The black mist appeared and bowed in front of the man.
"As you wish, Sensei. Come now, child. We have much to do." The black mist surrounds him as he closes his eyes again. There's no going back, and for the first time, Izuku does not want to go back.
This was only because I mained Jacket in Payday 2. That and, I wanted a shot on making a villain deku, but I also wanted a mute deku with a tape recorder so he could still communicate. I don't really know if you could call this a Villain Deku story though. Maybe from the perspective of this alternate reality's society, they are. Still funny though, this is the same society that creates their own villains. Okay, that sounded edgy, but yeah. This is how it's gonna be.
