That man said - "You CAN become a hero!"
He shattered all of this useless baggage of depression and gloom surrounding me-
Everyone said I would never make it-
'Huh, Midoriya? He's as useless as Sakura!'
'I believe in hope to all but him- he's godforsaken...'
'I'm sorry Izuku- Your Quirkless because of me- forgive me...!'
Immediately he bowed to All-Might in reverence and respect as two clear lines of tears fell to the ground from his face as he said- "Thank you..."
"You are worthy- YOU ARE WORTHY- now get up Young Midoriya!
You are both my successors- You are BOTH WORTHY to inherit my quirk..."
But as Bardock heard this he immediately went speechless- "What do you mean both- I'm pretty sure I don't need it- or can"
"Now now- this has never been done with the Quirk but if I recall - it should be possible to do but by doing so my strength will become a 1/4 of what it is now due to giving you two a portion of my Quirk meaning through training you will become better at it and grow stronger as you stockpile even more energy."
"But isn't your Quirk natural?"
"No - you see it was passed down to me like an Olympic Torch!"
"I have the ability to store and then give power - {One For ALL} and it is your turn Young Shimura- Young Midoriya!"
"I ACCEPT!"
Said Midoriya as his eyes became sharper whilst wiping his eyes with his blazer.
"But your body isn't ready- honestly your limp noodle body isn't ready for it and if given you would implode -
So we'll have to train you to pass the American Dream Plan-
But Bardock is ready to accept my power now if he wants to-
After training you properly then will I give you my power Midoriya."
"No- Mr Might, I will train alongside Midoriya and accept my power with him-
I have yet to learn much and I believe it is best If we train together-
So that I can gain the strength to protect those who are close to me, my friends, my family and the world from evil threats looming in the Cold Horizons." (I bet you don't get this pun- it's ice cold.)
- Training Regimen Of Ultra Proportions:-
As the training began Bardock and Midoriya got to know each other more than ever before as he gave hints to help improve his fellow hero.
He never thought once in his life as a World Conqueror that he'd ever be considered and become a noble warrior defending the weak and powerless.
It was a change in pace if you will and one he gladly accepted as it helped him focus more whilst his body grew like never before as his cells were in awe of this new optimistic mentality.
It allowed him to tap into his gene pool as it became easier than ever before to smile- yes a human emotion to laugh for real instead of mimicking the life forms around him.
It felt peaceful and almost too good to be true.
"Shimura- listen up the young heroes now that we see all around us and in our faces through the media and the internet-
Well, they're all after fame and financial gain... The lives of those they've saved have no meaning to them they, after all, are paid to do such things.
The first task I've given you and Midoriya is to clean this beach and restore it to its once beautiful natural blue landscape.
I know you can do this and if you two think about even stepping a foot in U.A.
Then you better get a move on Younglings as things are about to get wilder!"
As he said that he overlooked out training on top of an old washing machine-
With my now human body back and my strengthening mutation quirk, I worked harder than I'd ever done before.
I pulled out all the stops as I spent my time divided into four -
1: Iron Tail Regiment
2: Adonis Torso
3: Beefy Beefcake Legs
4: Iron Headbutt
For obvious reasons I suppose- whilst Midoriya focused more on Calisthenics and his newby gains were beginning to show.
But he never really did achieve his bodies potential due to overworking his mind more than his body.
And like they said a slight disconnect between mind and body caused a rift of a soul.
Looking at him it was obvious his eyes were no longer so full of life or vitality instead red hopelessness laid bare.
Walking up to him as I constantly did reps with my tail I interrupted the steadfast dedication that seemed to kill him more than benefit him.
"Midoriya- We have to talk!"
Hearing that the seemingly gloomy persona of his returned - "What is it Bardock?"
With a hard to discern smile, he said- "Bardock it's fine I'm done here any way you can move the leftovers if you want- I'll grab us a coffee."
Walking silently with a look of absence in his eyes whilst his body slouched -
Wretched I say- I hated slouching it disgusted me it was like you were saying to the outside world I'm vulnerable attack me manipulate me and exploit me-
Bardock detested such a scene as it reminded him of when his rival had such a scene after talking to his father who abdicated the throne to him.
It reminded him of Vegeta when King Cold abdicated as his father did give him the new title of King Vegeta the III.
After that announcement before his coronation, he met Bardock-
"Bardock you and I know that I can't engage in any more of our immature squabbles- I'm now to be King in a fortnight.
Leave me alone and hang out with your crew-!"
And as he said this- his back turned as if a heavy burden crushed him to the ground where was the arrogant, playful and slightly bashful Vegeta now?
Bardock knew not as that person ceased to exist...
Instead a hollow - a shell of his former self stood sluggish no longer proud, no longer upright but instead like a puppet that was being puppeteered.

- Back to School:-
Bardock and Midoriya an incredibly mismatched duo stepped through the entrance as they headed to their class.
And all around them were waves of sound wafting about like children with journalistic integrity that seemed to break every two seconds.
"Bardock- Midoriya? What- That's not possible- Why would Bardock-kun hang out with that lame kid with green hair.
He doesn't even have any powers- No it must be he's trying to get on Bardock's good side so that he has a sliver of a livelihood-
Definitely..."
Hearing that with his enhanced senses Bardock merely glared as this was enough for the gossip girls to shut their tin holes.
'Aah- more Bardock-sama look at me more...'
Suddenly his tail spiked up as he felt unnerved hurrying he entered the class and took his seat that gaze was too much to be bear.
But next to him Midoriya began to draw in his Journal of my Future #14 after the fight and hope given by All-Might Deku had made a fresh start from his book 13- to 14.
To signify constant growth if you will.
And listening to me he finally backed up his data as PDFs so that in the future if physical copies were out he had them archived.
Those journals were incredibly helpful as it made battling criminals and even rogue heroes easy-
Why? Well because their weaknesses, level caps, endurance and strength was all documented and updated constantly by Midoriya.
It saved time and was an incredible source of information-
Thank god he saved the thirteenth book from being burnt.
But as he thought his he could distinctively smell some fiery sweat and a blazing gaze of magma being drilled into his cranium.
"What is it Bakugo- I'm sorry for the fight before- I provoked you and due to that we both got heated up in the process.
I admit it was partially my fault so I'm sorry- now can you stop with that glare? It's getting old.
I know you wanna smile and hug me it's fine Bakuho- I mean Bakugo let it be..."
The last part caused me to crackle up in laughter as I tried to suppress it but facing him meant he saw and heard my laughter.
But surprisingly he never said anything- instead, he puffed his cheeks as he folded his arms before looking the other way.
"Disgusting- Bakugo what are you doing? Ew get that pout off of your face it doesn't suit you-"
"Bardock- if you try to embarrass me further I will and I repeat burn you into ash and bones before pissing on your remains you get it-
In that thick gorilla skull of yours!"
"Says the guy who sweats while thinking of me and tries to get real frisky!"
This ticked him off I had mastered pissing him off since well- my life here dealt with Bakugo all the time.
"Gorilla calm down or I will have to burn your pants and even your underwear by accident-!"
"Oh please, Bakuho- we all know you just wanna look at what I have and what you don't!!"
There a human emotion came to being as Bardock grinned at the fellow teen in front who had an attitude problem, to say the least.
It slowly morphed into a serious face with a grimace as he and Bakugo played name-calling and acted like five-year-olds until homeroom began.
———_______———
"Midoriya- could you please read on from excerpt 5- line 14 and loudly please..."
Hearing that Midoriya stood up as he felt unnerved with so many gazes staring at him but Bardocks words rang a bell.
'Calm down be patient and do what you need to do no take-backs- be clear and concise no one likes an idiot with no social skills other than being a fanboy...'
"During the Quirk Revolution- the first child to obtain or rather become something more than human to evolve himself further was a baby in Qing-Qing, China.
He was called the Luminescent Baby- and through the later generations manifestations of such abilities disrupted society until a cultural Revolution took place before we have what we are now.
Through genetic research, it is found that we humans have varying degrees of differences between our non-quirk like forms.
Some genetic differences so huge we appear to be a different race entirely whilst some so small there are no real differences.
It has also been found that external and internal factors determine whether we activate our latent quirks stronger or weaker than what we were genetically designed to achieve.
An example is All-Might a being who most believe possesses Enhanced Strength-
Yet his rapid speed and invulnerable defence could count as a separate or sub quirk depending on what he learnt and how his Quirk was activated..."
Finally, his lines were finished as he sat down however he noted that his peers looked differently at him as if he was a new being.
But what caused this reaction- his increased muscles due to Bardocks advice on muscle repair-
His confidence? His improved self worth his self-esteem?
He didn't know but he liked this feeling of finally some acknowledgement from his peers.
But as he was to carry on he couldn't help but overhear Bakugo and Bardock-
"I hate that series it's so boring and has no action- "
Bardock frowned hearing that -"Not everything is about action sometimes a little bonding with characters is good.
A little R/R is always good to have you know it further develops the plot with a better lead and not those wishy-washy - I love all of you type harem protagonists that you like Bakugo..."
Bakugo's face contorted in displeasure- "How dare you- Boku no Pico is amazing- say sorry now and just so you know Harem protagonists are goddamn awesome-
The absolute intrigue in these built-up heroines and who you want to succeed is an emotional rollercoaster it's amazing and the little bits of cleavage action - I mean fight scenes are hands down perfect!!"
"You are a one-dimensional fool aren't you- can't you understand the feelings between characters instead of those shows where you want everyone to bang some wimpy looking dense as sh*t with a noble and kind personality protagonist who loves his sister who has an unrequited crush on him and he loves petting cats..."
"You two are like an old married couple aren't you two- the way you get excited to retort back to each other I'd say it took decades to master...
You two make a semi-decent couple you know Kacchan- Bardock!'
- Moments Later:-
"Ouch- Damn it Bardock I get hurt enough carrying a fricking microwave what's the point of punching my jaw."
"I was trying to break it Young Midoriya-"
"Say that sh*t again Deku and I'll personally bury you six feet under my piss...!!"
Seeing the two like this he smiled- "See the two of you work together so well- Aaarrrggghhh SAAAAVVVEEE MEEEEE!!!"
"NOT MY JAW, NOT THE RIB-!!"
———_______———
- A Beatdown Later:-
"So I'm surprised Midoriya- I'd thought you'd have altered the plan and done something stupid- I was wrong you did what I asked and followed the program.
Here I was thinking only Young Shimura- was gonna do all of the hellish things I'd made you do!-"
Hearing this he smiled as he looked up at the sun raining it's glistening golden essence.
"In all honesty All-Might it's thanks to Bardock that I even managed to get this far- so thank you Bardock- you're a great friend..."
"Don't sweat it."
Said Bardock as he gave a slight grin whilst leaning against the truck.
Hearing that Skinny-Might suddenly doused the beach in gas as a tall and muscular figure burst out-
"That's EXACTLY what I like to hear!!"
"Friendship and determination to never accept failure to stand up tall and look the sky in the face as you break through the gusts all around you never gonna give up-
That will is unbeatable and unbreakable once tempered to the right point."
"You've achieved something that you'd never have done ten months ago-
Here look at Young Shimura's weak twig legs from ten months ago-
Look at them now-
They look like elephant legs now and no longer are twigs his chest has grown huge and his body has adapted growing talker with it.
Now look at you - that crybaby in the middle with skin and bones- yes you look and now look at yourself...
Do you see a major difference?
Cause I certainly do.
You've cleaned this beach to perfection and you've become ripped I believed in you and you gave it a Hundred+ per cent -
I'm proud of you two now come here time to gain some powers-
You two are now true blue vessels of legends that rivalry has fostered into friendship and brotherhood and that will to grow has been carried out further."
"But- All-Might- you and Bardock helped me I mean if it weren't for the two of you especially Bardock I don't think I'd have been alive that day I met you.
Due to Bardocks will to sacrifice and protect me, I was saved and my destiny was changed!
I thank you two!!"
Bowing his head once again with a smile adorning his face-
He had changed in ten months of social interaction and having a friend changed the way a person interacted and their views on life.
"Take this to heart Younglings- But you've earned this power fair and square- You were destined for this!"
"Now eat this...!"
"Dur- What...!"
"Mr Might- but that's a strand of your hair? correct- That's surely not ingestible- Right!"
"Nah it's fine I don't wanna eat hair- bro that's mad weird that a weird fetish you have Sensei- with the way things are you'll never get a girl other than recovery lady."
"Young Shimura- just shush- no matter what you do this is the only way to acquire the power- as long as you acquire my DNA then you will acquire my powers now take it!"
With his outstretched arm and two strands of hair, the two reluctantly took the hair and ate it-!!
For Midoriya the changes were minimal but for Bardock, just this strand awakened his genetic talent- his body began to bulk and grow as his eyes became completely black resembling All-Might's own eyes whilst his hair stood on end in gold.
He had done it- He had achieved his Genetic Peak and with the limitations of this world his power was also limited as this new bulked form became his new base.
"Woah- this power it's incredible, mesmerising and unholy!"
Midoriya, however, wondered why he didn't look like Green All-Might-
"Well kid- I honestly don't know but from the start, Bardock's Quirk and physique was quite literally made for my power - and in all honesty, it is different for everyone-
Looking at Bardock he's gained my ability to stockpile and using Energy boosting his already strong physique higher but now he has access to energy-
The quirk mutates your Gene Pool- meaning you can receive a different or even the same ability but Bardock has awakened what I did- an increase in strength- hell my DNA even caused his hair to turn blonde and his eyes well you can see them.
But I guess everyone's different- But I gotta go, my young disciples - Hero Duty Calls!"
Saying that All-Might waved at the two of us before his figure was gone and Bardock in question pondered exactly what this was.
It wasn't Super Saiyan- he could feel it was his permanent base- he couldn't de-transform and he tried to believe him but he couldn't.
He just felt stronger and felt like Gravity was of no use to him as he tried to even fly though a few seconds in the air he then fell on his face headfirst eating a lot of sand.
Now his physique had been even more refined his body felt light despite him knowing he weighed more than a hundred and fifty kilograms-
But it felt light as a feather and his new height only amplified this further.
