Apotheosis

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE VANQUISHED KING

In an old abandoned factory that had been converted into a secret base Izuku sat in a chair staring at a large computer screen. His infinity gauntlet was raised up as he slowly clenched his fist. Behind him a car that he found close by, illegally parked next to a fire hydrant, was slowly being crushed and crumpled into a metal ball.

"This is problematic", he had spent the last three days training with the gauntlet and attempting to crack the secrets of this specific quirk. He had been making great progress with his invention. The D.N.A he acquired, not so much. No matter how many times he scanned the blood sample, the genetics still read as quirkless. Something was missing here. Something he failed to understand about this quirk.

"It seems...I need more data", Izuku said tossing the crumpled car away. Going over to a nearby table he picked up a baggy gray hooded sweater and slipped it on over his black shirt, making sure to cover the gauntlet and hide his hair with the hood. Opening a portal Izuku stepped through to go meet the one person who could provide him with the answers he needed.

THE STATION

"I told you already, I didn't know he was up to something like this", the head of Geonosis's research and development said. He'd been interviewed by the police at the station for the past two hours about their rogue intern Izuku Midoriya.

"He never did anything suspicious or out of the ordinary?" Detective Naomasa questioned.

"He was a brilliant boy dedicated to creating the best hero support devices", the man frowned. "If a monster existed inside him, then he hid it very well"

"Thank you for your time", the officer sighed in disappointment dismissing the man. It was the same with everyone he interviewed. They all had nothing but positive things to say about Midoriya and were honestly surprised that he was actually a villain. His phone rang before he could gather more of his thoughts. Seeing Toshinori's number he answered.

"How's the investigation going?" The hero asked.

"Not well", Naomasa grimaced. "Nobody had a clue about what Midoriya was or what he was secretly up to. Not the people at the company, his teachers, even his own mother didn't know"

"Did he have friends at that school?" Toshinori wondered with hope. "He must have had some"

"From what I was able to gather the boy didn't have any", the detective sighed. "We have no trail, and no leads as to what he will do next"

"It's been four days and he hasn't done anything yet", Toshinori was worried about what the boy was planning. He had over whelming power now, so why isn't he using it?

"He'll have to show himself sooner or later", Naomasa said with determination.

"I have some good news though", he could hear the skinny man's enthusiasm. "I think I found a successor to inherit my power"

"Really? Who is it?"

"He's a third year at U.A named Mirio" Allmight said.

"That's good are you going to pass on One for All to him soon?" Naomasa asked.

"Not yet, I need to correct a mistake first before I retire", Toshinori sighed sadly.

"Midoriya right?" The detective frowned understanding that his friend needed to stop that boy as his last act of heroism.

"A master shouldn't leave their apprentice to clean up his own mess", He created the Izuku that exists now, so it was his job to bring him back.

"Good luck my friend"

"Thanks", He said before ending the call.
