Toshinori looks out of the window of his apartment oaks he gaze to the technological advance city across the bay. Musutafu City was completely devastated with much of the city in ruins and flooded after the epic battle between Izuku and Trixie last year. The sheer cost to rebuild the city and repair the damage from the flood waters which is salt water that cause lots of damage even after the water receded, was in the billions and climbing before Trixie stepped in. Trixie claimed the ruin city as hers as a depot for her tribute that must be gathered for her to pick up now and then.

Lulamoon City is the name of the new city.

It’s the most advance city in the world, that is ruled over by a Tactical droid that was left in charge of the operation. There are depots all over the world where the trash is collected and stored for tribute. All guarded by armies of robots, from the Droid series from the same place where the Tactical Droid came from, to other types.

The robots are all programmed to keep the trash safe for transport. Which they break down into cubes by feeding the trash into recyclers that break anything fed into them into material cubes. The recyclers have showed up everywhere from local junkyards to being used to clean waste water as the machines can’t do anything with water which they just drain into the sewers. Which has made things much cleaner as there are recyclers that filter the smoke from factories, making the sky cleaner. The fabricators also been showing up using the left over cubes and making new things.

The depots also became a place to get rid of unclaimed bodies. The robots just toss the bodies that have no one wanting to pay to take care of into a recycler and break the body into cubes. Which the robots did for free and when protest came up about it, the protesters were asked if they were willing to pay for burial of the bodies? And when the protest continued with attacks on the shipments and robots, the robots reminded everyone that they’re not a free planet anymore. The robots didn’t kill just maim the protesters as living reminders of what happens to those who is in charge. As for anything that happens that cause any kind of delay with the tribute, the robots never let any law enforcement or hero handle it, anyone or group were either executed or maimed. With whole crime groups being wiped out because of them trying to steal from the robots or entire government branches being wipe out with even the government leaders who know about the plan being executed.

Toshinori remembers what happen to the Middle East. The terrorist and others were just too use to people playing by laws while they didn’t and it all came to a shock when the robots didn’t play by the rules they were use to. The robots just executed all the fighters and track down anyone supporting them. The robots drag fighters out into the open and executed them and toss their bodies into recyclers.

The Iran government the source of money for many terrorist cells was overthrown, the oil that made them powerful to begin with made useless as the robots introduced a new biofuel called Blaze that is just as powerful as oil and could be made using the organic cubes from recyclers at a cheap price. Causing the stocks for oil to be all but worthless from what they were before. And with that many Middle East countries to fail as they didn’t had much of anything else to make money with, and the lifestyles they had all went down the drain. (1)

Causing many terrorist cells just to break up as there was no longer any funding. And that the robots track all known terrorist cells, killing them all and those who tried to protect them. Leaving very few men in some places in the Middle East. Which while there was some aide many other countries just left the Middle East to fend for themselves as years of them going with respect my culture but I don’t have to respect yours that’s been projected and not a lot of good examples of a Middle East culture that treats women fairly and not hostile to westerners. There wasn’t that big of a call to help them when they came asking for help, leaving the Middle East to fend for themselves.

The heroes of the Middle East which because of their culture were always few in numbers, the ones who fraught the robots were wiped out. The robots revealed the Sentinels based on the old Marvel comics. But without the badly made programming that allows them to expand from their program. The sentinels could like their comic counterparts adapt to any quick used on them and their energy beams fired from their hands could kill just about any quick user in one shot, and if that fails they just continue to blast the quick user till they’re dead. There was no fighting them, they were just too powerful and easily replaced with new ones. (2)

On the other hand the robots only do that stuff only when they’re attacked first and letting the people govern themselves. Only stepping in when there is an issues that would disrupt the flow of tribute. In cases like that the robots took over and ran the government of the countries they took over. Africa a land known for the warlords and poverty is now advancing as the robots there took over and ran things better. Which many people in those countries welcomed as the robots ruled better and provided security that their old governments couldn’t provide.

As for other countries the old governments continued to run but now are overseen by the robots. When there is an issue that could effect the units of tribute was when the robots would step in overruling the ruling government. Which like things that had needed to be done like building and repairing infrastructure like roads and water pipes. And they made sure that the area around the depots are heavily patrolled and any disorder quickly be put down. Resulting in the area around the depots to be crime free which cause many people to move there for safety.

Toshinori could make out the gold statue of Trixie that was built, with her foot press on the back of a statue on its hands and knees, which is a statue of himself. The plate on the base of the statue, thanked him and the entire hero system of Japan in breaking the spirit of Izuku Midoriya. Without which she wouldn’t had been able to win and now is the owner of their planet. He just lack the resolve and the belief in himself to beat her, even helping her instead of beating her. Because even with a year’s worth of training and being around people who are supportive of him, won’t just make Midoriya into someone who can just beat someone who has years of fighting experience under their belt. He came close for someone who only had one year with no other training to prepare. But there was no way Midoriya was ready thanks to Japan’s culture of telling him that without a quick he could never be a hero. (3)

Trixie did point out that she didn’t needed Midoriya to save her as she could fly on her own and still had plenty of weapons while Midoriya had nothing left to fight with. But Midoriya saving her did cause her not to just enslaved their world just make the give her tribute instead. Which Mr. Awesome said is the best outcome they could hope for, as long as they give the tribute of trash, which is them giving the aliens who conquer their world their trash. It’s better for all of them to go along with it and just leave the robots alone or the goodwill that Midoriya made with Trixie would be wasted.

Toshinori walk away from the window and sat down on the easy chair in front of the tv. He no longer could use the power of One for All as first Midoriya took it and then gave it to Trixie to give them time for him to train. Midoriya didn't show any sign of One for All, as he said he rejects the power that was given to him. He won't be anything like All Might, he would be a better hero than he ever be. And he's currently being mentored by Coop the pilot of Megas XLR as he has taken a liking in being a mech pilot. And has already help Coop in fighting giant monsters and villains using giant mechs or robots.

As for himself, Toshinori now lives in a apartment all by himself as he has nothing left to offer. The school is gone and there is no need for heroes around Lulamoon City as they robots handle things. The heroes and the students have left for other areas in Japan where there are still hero agencies.

But with what happen many of the former teachers couldn't find work and the students also had a hard time finding work. Thanks to how because of them, Midoriya didn't get the training that would had made all the difference in the battle for the planet. Like lots of people who put down Midoriya have been blacklisted because of how badly they treated him, is the reason why he didn't win.

The rest of the world is blaming, Japan for the defeat that cost them their freedom, because of their cultural mindset that tells anyone who doesn't have a power is useless and can't ever be a hero. Which during last months hero school sporting event, Mr. Awesome brought a group of young heroes in training to take part of the even. That they dominated as they used tons of support items and skills, and in the end they all revealed that they're all powerless just like Midoriya. With Mr. Awesome telling them that if Midoriya had the kind of support the kids he brought with him had, their world would still be theirs.

Watching the news Toshinori saw one of the rival schools taking in students without powers, giving them support equipment. So that they be able to be gadget using heroes, with many hero agencies now looking for heroes who don't have powers to join them. With the shame and humiliation that Japan has been facing and a market that's falling because of few people doing business with them. Japan is doing what it can to make themselves look good and showing that they're changing.

But for him, all he could do is live with the regret of failing a young man wanting to be a hero and telling him he couldn't without a power. Unlike how the one who gave him her power, told him he could.

Author's Note

1 - Seeing how much of the wealth of the Middle East comes from oil. What do you really think will happen once that bubble burst?

2 - Seeing how the sentinels in bad futures are able to kill off most of the heroes and villains of Marvel. The quick users in My Hero don’t stand a chance.

3 - Fighting someone who has years of real world fighting experience and not just training. Isn’t what happens in fiction where someone who spent only one year training would suddenly be able to beat someone who has real fighting experience.

Not to mention that training someone who spent years being told that they can’t do anything and will never be anything of worth. Won’t erase all that and give them the will and resolve to win.
