The Future we Strive For

Summary:

Izuku is thrown into a room with Class 1-A and teachers, their future and lives are thrown into mayhem as they watch a future that only held nightmares and Pain. Can they be strong enough to withstand and fight for a brighter future or will fate lead them to the depths of destruction and despair.

 

Read and find out.

 

Inspired by No such thing as a Painless lesson

Notes:

Hello readers! I know I know I already am writing one story! But I just needed to do this! Also I felt that with shikigari’s powers and abilities I wanted to showcase a future that felt more realistic but also 10 times more cruel than the original. I honestly feel that there should have been more death and gore, so now I’m forced to write because theirs no such thing on Ao3. Also yes the tags are correct and yes it’s not gonna be happy and rainbows.

Chapter 1: The Beginning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tired eyes blinked opened slowly, dark and light filling his vision, the boy looked dazed as he tried to focus.

 

 

 

 

 

Where am I?

 

 

 

 

 

Huh?!

 

 

 

 

 

Suddenly Izuku remembered he was supposed to be in his own room, in his own house. Not…. Wherever the heck he was now….

 

 

 

 

 

As he focused on the state of his body, alarm bells rang in his head as he finally noticed that he was floating in this odd space.

 

 

 

 

 

Ah!?

 

 

 

 

 

Izuku tried to move but it almost felt like being underwater, other than being able to breathe for some reason.

 

 

 

 

 

He was about to panic but suddenly something bright appeared in front of him, the bright light morphed into the form of what appeared to be a woman.

 

 

 

 

 

At the very least that’s what he saw, but he couldn’t exactly see her features and she just seemed….ethereal.

 

 

 

 

 

My child…Izuku…hear me….

 

 

 

 

 

Izuku’s eyes widened as he realized the voice was being heard in his own head…

 

 

 

 

 

What?!

 

 

 

 

 

Who are you?!

 

 

 

 

 

What am I doing here?!

 

 

 

 

 

Do not worry my child…here is the place between time and space…I can be considered a ruler or sovereign over your plane of existence…I can not be considered GOD…but…I am here to give you a choice Izuku…

 

 

 

 

 

Choice!?

 

 

 

 

 

Ruler!?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t understand??

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know this is hard for you to understand Izuku…but I need you to know…that I am giving you the choice to view your future and future of your fated….

 

 

 

 

 

Future?

 

 

 

 

 

My future?

 

 

 

 

 

Why???

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because Izuku….the future that is being formed at this moment is…horrifically…cruel…I myself can not change it…I’m not allowed….but…if you can see the events that will come and change the outcome….maybe you can change the hellish horror that you and your fated will face….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cruel?

 

 

 

 

 

My future….

 

 

 

 

 

And fated?

 

 

 

 

 

 

What happens?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes….if you want to steer away from that future…prevent your friends from hurting….prevent a horror no one can accept…will you accept this deal of mine?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Izuku thought of his loved ones and friends, his mentor and classmates…

 

 

 

 

 

He doesn’t know what sort of horror this being is describing but if he can change it so no one hurts…

 

 

 

 

 

I accept!

 

 

 

 

 

 

But… can you tell me why you’re asking specifically me?

 

 

 

 

 

You hold the largest piece of fate your world carries, but it requires growth and practice…the second largest is consumed and fostered unnaturally….becomes dark and revolting…it wrecks havoc and destroys the fated ones…destroys you in all the ways one can be destroyed without dying…I can only hope what I show you is enough to change that reality….I will be placing you with your fated…they are the ones that grow with you…stay with them…don’t let the future that I show break your bonds…the others also carry fate themselves…go now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Izuku was still processing everything the being was telling him when he felt his body move and suddenly placed in a large room with couches and a large screen television.

 

 

 

 

 

“Ah!”

 

 

 

 

 

“I can talk again!”

 

 

 

 

 

Izuku felt relieved as he stood in the middle of the room, hand on his throat, the feeling of not being able to speak was…not fun.

 

 

 

 

All at once a flash of light was appeared and what could only be a bunch of teens and a couple of adults were thrown onto the ground.

 

 

 

 

 

“Ah!”

“Hey what the heck!”

“Whose hand is that!?”

 

“Ouch! Someone is on my hands!!”

 

 

“Guys are you alright!”

 

 

 

Izuku rushed to the pile of teens who had been unceremoniously dropped, Izuku even saw All Might(in his smaller form), Aizawa-Sensei, and Mic Sensei!

 

 

 

 

 

“Izuku?!”

 

“Midoriya!”

 

 

“My boy Midoriya!”

 

 

“Huh?”

 

 

“Ok guys I’m just confused! Where the heck are we?!”

 

 

 

 

Kaminari looked frazzled as he stood shakily between the fallen group.

 

 

 

 

The teachers having been dropped a foot away from the teens took it much better as they stood up warily.

 

 

 

 

 

“Problem child, pray tell what the heck is going on?”

 

 

 

 

“Uhhhh…”

 

 

 

 

“Midoriya boy, do you know what’s going on?”

 

 

 

 

“Huh who heck is this guy?”

 

 

 

 

Several of the teens finally untangling themselves, wondered who the extremely thin blonde man was?

 

 

 

 

“Not the time Kaminari, Problem child?”

 

 

 

 

 

“Ahh…well…honestly I’m not really sure actually…I was dropped here…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Ahhhhh! What the heck!! What’s going on Deku?!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Uuhhh…well…-“

 

 

 

 

 

I have brought you here lesser fated ones…

 

 

 

 

 

The voice felt loud but quiet, echoing and ringing in their ears, everyone aside from Izuku looked shocked and almost tripped themselves once more.

 

 

 

 

“Who-!”

“What-“

“Omg I’m hearing voices!”

 

 

 

 

Do not fret little ones as I have explained to Izuku…I have brought you here…

 

 

 

 

 

“Who are you and what do you want with my students!?”

 

 

 

 


“Yea and what the heck! I’m pretty sure I was asleep”

 

 

 

 

 

“Yup I most definitely was sleeping, maybe I’m still asleep? Bakugou pinch me!”

 

 

 

 

Bakugou was about to knock Kirishima out but was stopped by the voice.

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to know then you will all have to calm down….as I have explained to Izuku I am an overseer of your plane so to speak…you all will be watching your future…

 

 

 

 

 

“Huh!!! What the heck’s this old hag talking about!! Only I decide my future!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

Suddenly Katsuki’s mouth was closed, his mouth unable to open and spew more curses.

 

 

 

 

 

The others who had been about to yell were shut down completely, they stood still.

 

 

 

 

 

“You! Why would you do that?”

 

 

 

 

 

Aizawa shifted to where Bakugou was trying to open his mouth forcibly, it didn’t look like the boy was in pain, simply extremely angry.

 

 

 

 

 

“Kaachan…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I was saying…You all will be watching a future…it was the most likely future to happen if I were let it be…I…I did not want to see such a reality…but I can not directly change it…only you can change your future outcome…I will be showing secrets and horribly twisted scenes…you will think it can’t be but…this future will happen with a 99.999999999999998 chance…I give this gift in two parts….you will see an immediate future where life continued without my disturbance and the far future of those actions….the far future will only show snippets or short scenes…you may not understand now but you will in the coming days…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aizawa and All Might looked between themselves, if a being as strong as the one who kidnapped them told them that their future was…terrible…then…if they could change it…

 

 

 

 

 

“Is this why we’re all here? Because we have an effect on the future?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes…you all carry shards of fate…able to effect the future to a certain extent…of course Izuku carriers the most fate which is why I gave him the choice to decide if you all were going to watch the future…

 

 

 

 

 

“Problem child?…”

 

 

 

 

 

Yes you will see in the scenes coming…sit and relax…it will be long…and most likely to be   Exhausting to see this future…there are snacks and refreshments…I hope from this you can all prevent the pain that will be shown to you…

 

 

 

 

 

Gone was the voice, her very presence left the room, Bakugou’s mouth was reopened as he spewed more curses once more.

 

 

 

 

 

“God damn old hag!”

 

 

 

 

 

“Bakugou don’t say that! She might close ur mouth again!”

 

 

 

 


“Guys don’t you think we should listen to her?”

 

 

 

 

“Aizawa-Sensei? I think we should sit…”

 

 

 

 

Aizawa pinched his nose as he tried to breath, too much was happening but thankfully the voice wasn’t some villain but some sort of deity.

 

 

 

 

Mic patted the man’s back, clearly confused as the other but just shrugging as there was no point in nagging. Aizawa rolled his eyes at Mic’s nonchalant attitude, man could never be serious.

 

 

 

 

 

All Might walked to Izuku, his hand landing on the boys shoulders, Izuku look up to his mentor.

 

 

 

 

 

“My boy… are you alright?”

 

 

 

 

“Ah yes…she wasn’t scary…she just seemed…hurt…I don’t think she wants to hurt us.”

 

 

 

 

“No me either…or else she could have just killed us…”

 

 

 

 

“Hey stick man who are you?! And what the hell you grabbing onto Deku for?!”

 

 

 

 

 

The class seemed weirded out by the blonde man, ochako and Iida looking to want to get between the pair.

 

 

 

 

“Alright class settle down, Yagi-San is a trusted staff member of the school no need to worry. Now go grab some drinks and snacks, I don’t want anybody to be getting up in the middle of whatever we’re going to be show understood?”

 

 

 

 

“Yes Aizawa-Sensei!”

 

 

 

 

 

The class still passed glances to the odd pair but grabbed their snacks from a nearby table and all of them finding their places on the various large couches.

 

 

 

 

The Baku and Deku squad on opposite ends as the rest in the middle, torodoki and Yaoyorozu closer to Izuku’s side.

 

 

 

 

 

The rest of the teachers muttering between themselves until they all sat behind the class.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lights dimmed and the screen turned on.
