Skull's Hero Academia

Passing Through Checkpoints and Octopi

When we finally arrived at U.A, the pro hero Hound Dog checked my backpack. After a minute of searching, he glares at me. "What are these boxes and rings for, kid. And why did you bring marshmallows?"

"Well, the rings are to help focus my quirk and are needed to open the boxes. The boxes are opened by using the rings to concentrate my quirk into them and each box has either a familiar or an object. Each color represents a certain aspect of my quirk. I don't think I will need all of them, or even more than a few, but I brought them all just in case. And as for the marshmallows... I don't even know myself. My intuition was telling me I should bring them, and my intuition is never wrong."  I smile brightly. "Intuition..?" I could see that they were all confused. "Yeah.It's part of my quirk. It's basically like a gut feeling, but on a larger scale. It's also more of a subconscious thing. Like I can get a big headache if something bad will happen or I can tell when it will rain because my intuition will tell me that I should bring an umbrella." I shrug my shoulders to say that I don't really know how it works either. I just know what it does. But the detective guy nodded to Hound Dog and he handed me my backpack. "Thanks." Knowing that I passed the checkpoint eased my nerves a little. I was still pretty nervous for some reason, that I will probably find out later.

I looked at the architecture as we walked down the hallways. 'I'm really anxious... I need Oodako...'

"Um, can we please stop for a second. I would like to bring out one of my familiars." All Might stopped for a second, turning around to face me. "I would love to see how those boxes of yours work! Go right ahead young Skull!" He gave me a thumbs up and I smiled at his positive attitude and encouragement. I take off my backpack and set it on the ground. I kneeled down and grabbed my silver ring with a purple stone in it that has a black cloud symbol inside of it. I slip it on and pick up Oodako's box. Carefully, I face the top of the box towards my right hand. I activate my vibrant cloud flames and place the ring inside of the hole.

The top of the box split open and cloud flames came out of it before taking the shape of an octopus. My flames went away and Oodako looked up at me before squealing and launching herself onto my chest. "Hey girl. You excited?" A warm, affectionate smile was clearly shown on my face. Oodako had that kind of effect on me. She was my first animal partner/familiar and we knew each other very well. She, along with the other Arcobaleno familiars, are the only ones who do not need to be fed flames to stay outside of the box. Their boxes are more like a house they live in. It's much bigger on the inside than it appears. While the other box animals require flames to stay outside of the box, like regular box animals.

I gently place my hand on top of her head and pet her lovingly. This simple act always helps calm me down, it has the same effect on her too. "Oodako, meet All Might. All Might, meet my oldest familiar, Oodako." I smirked at All Might's shocked face when Oodako reached out a tentacle for a 'handshake.'

The pro hero shook off his shock and gently grabbed the tentacle to shake it. "Well, it's nice to meet you Oodako...?" It sounded more like a question then it did a sentence. "She has a high intelligence and can understand human speech and many languages including japanese, italian, english, french, and russian." The english, italian, and russian was all me. In my previous life, my father had been russian and my mother was half american and half french, so I grew up knowing all three languages and learned italian and japanese in my teenage years as a language class. It did end up being useful so I was grateful for taking those classes.

Anyways, let's not get side tracked. This is supposed to be a story about my new life, not my past one. We can get to that later. Maybe. But you haven't even seen me cause any chaos yet- And that's the best part! Anyway, I'll stop breaking the fourth wall now and leave you wondering what the heck I am planning... Actually, I'm wondering that question myself. Not even I know what's gonna happen next! Hmph. Stupid author who just writes on a whim and doesn't plan much about the plot other than the important things like who will be reborn as who and the newest answered question of who I will be 'shipped' with. I know who I like and y'all will just have to wait and see.

Kufufufufu.

Oh. We're here already.

So yeah. I have decided two options about Skull/Izuku's future ship. I will not give any details but there are two options, so please vote. Voting will be open for a while.

Option 1

Option 2

Also, here are some personal headcanons for each Arcobaleno in this AU.

Fon: While he won't admit it, he is the most responsible one and is essentially the 'adult chaperon' on most outings.

Yuni: The baby of the fam. The other Arcobaleno have claimed her as their kid and anyone who messes with her will face hell, especially from mama Skull.

Reborn: Secretly overprotective of the others. He once shot a guy for making a comment about Skull.

Verde: Also secretly cares and isn't the robotic scientist he pretends to be. During the earlier days when they first met, he tried to poison Skull's food to see if he was immortal or at least live, and he did.
Collenelo: He only followed them around because of Lal at first, but then he grew rather fond of all of them, especially Skull.

Lal: She would take it easy on Skull because she saw him as a kid at first, but then grew fond of him too.

Viper: While they love to get blackmail of the others and make them pay a hefty price for practically anything from them, they have a slightly lower price for Skull.

Skull: Loves all his fellow Arcobaleno and if Reborn says he can't do something, then he will do it just to piss Reborn off.

For example:

Reborn: "Skull. You are not going to walk a tightrope in platform shoes without a safety net."

Skull: *Successfully walks across a tightrope in platform shoes just to piss Reborn off and prove him wrong and flips him off the entire way.*

Reborn: *Nearly has a heart attack* "Never do that again."

Do you want to see any chapters about back before the curse or about Skull's past? If so, what do you want to see?

I also own and made the picture above. ^^
