Green Scar

MHA/SVTFoE fic

Premise: One day, Izuku Midoriya disappeared. When he was found, the truth behind his circumstances was nothing anyone expected. No one expected an Isekai with Magical Princesses, War, and Monsters.


Chapter 1.1 Izuku Midoriya, Isekai Warrior



Toshinori had rushed to the police station the moment he'd been called. He nearly tripped over himself in his mad dash to get inside and find the room Tsukaichi had told him to go to. The other officers were nice enough to help, though they were put on edge when they saw the Former Number One running ragged inside their building.

He made it to the third floor and spotted Tsukaichi quickly enough.

"All Might!" The straight laced police officer called.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Toshi had to take a moment to catch his breath. He didn't need more blood discharge. "But…is it true?"

"It's true. He's in the next room." Tsukauchi pointed to the room behind him. It was a holding cell.

Just before the Hero could rush in, Tsukauchi stopped him.

"We need you to get a good look at him first."

"But Midoriya is-!"

"Shh!"

The blonde almost blew a gasket. There were times for decorum but this was his student! Who knows what could have happened to him in the weeks he's been gone!

What if it was a plot by All for One?!

Calm down Toshi!!

The Former number one flinched as that voice echoed in his soul. It felt like his old Master Nana. She'd always scold him when he tried to let his spirit power through things even when he was ready for the consequences.

It's taken years for him to listen. Especially after his forced trip to America to train. Even before with Nighteye.

The voice provided the reason needed to temper his emotions. It reminded him that if things were really bad, then Tsukaichi would have told him on the way. Even now, the Police officer didn't look too worried or horrified. So Izuku had to be of sound mind and body.

And if that was the case, the lad would need the adults to be there to offer a hand and a smile. Like heroes.

Toshinori took a deep breath. Two deep breaths.

It made him cough a bit roughly but he was calmer now.

"Alright, Tsukauchi. I'm ready."

Tsukauchi nodded and opened the side door. Inside was a viewing glass the size of the whole room with recording devices and a table for four to sit at as they watched an interrogation or debrief.

There were other occupants inside.

"Aizawa? Principal?" Toshi asked.

"We were already close by when we got the call." The Quirked Mouse replied, never taking his beady eyes off the glass.

Aizawa nodded in greeting but was doing the same. His usual calm manner was compromised.

Toshi turned to look as well. His heart leapt into his throat.

Green curly hair.
Freckles.
Nervous disposition.

It was his successor. Izuku Midoriya.

The blonde felt tears start to grow in his eyes. He felt a spot light headed and stopped to one knee.

Tsukauchi and Nedzu were beside him in an instant.

"Are you alright Toshi? Is it a fit?" Nedzu asked.

"He's okay…"

The Former Hero's voice was very light so they almost didn't catch it. He also rubbed his shirt sleeve against his eyes.

"He's here. And he's okay. I'm glad. Just so very glad."

They nodded in understanding. They moved him to a chair so that he could regain his strength easier.

Toshinori wiped his eyes and asked. "Are we able to talk to him?"

"Yes. Try to ease him into talking. We'll need a clear profile before we bring his Mother in to see him. For now, we'll let her know he's been found."

"You should show him the picture, Tsukauchi." Aizawa suddenly commented.

Toshi frowned when the policeman flinched but nodded all the same. He picked up a sealed envelope that had been on the table. With a slow hand, Tsukaichi pulled out a single Polaroid and handed it to Toshi.

The blonde's blue eyes only looked for a moment before he dropped it in shock. He picked it back up and studied it hard.

"Is this?"

"We've had some doctors give him a full body check up. It's real." The sad but angry tone wasn't hard to miss.

But who wouldn't be mad at such an ugly scar being put on a young teenager?

It looked like a burn mark. Toshi had gotten a few over the years and seen enough of them to tell. It wasn't too deep so it most likely was a brand of some sort.

But he didn't know of any connections All For One would have with a Butterfly.

Toshi put the picture on the table and walked out. He would find out in a moment. It was time to see his Successor.

-----GS---

Izuku Midoriya was keeping calm.

The smell of the room.
The noises he had heard when he dropped into this world.

It almost felt like a distant dream. A nostalgic one he'd almost forgotten.

But this was home. A world of Quirks and Heroes and Villains.

His home.

He was back in his…his fourteen year old body.

Strangely, this was the one thing that was on his mind and nerves the most. It'd been so long since he was this tall. Or had skin that wasn't laden in as many scars.

Only his original arm scars remained.

That and the Butterfly mark.

Is it messed up that I'm kinda glad it's still there?

It probably was.

Izuku sat up straight when the door opened. Looks like questioning would final-

Izuku gasped.

"All Might?"

"Midoriya..!"

Izuku didn't know if he jumped out of the chair or if All Might was faster. All he knew was they met in a fierce hug.

He did have to ease up since All Might still had injuries of his own but the two of them stuck it out for this moment. Even when the Blond Hero coughed up a little blood and Izuku's tears began to flood the room.

The green haired teen had a moment to sniff his Hero. And it was All Might in the flesh.

This was his world.

"It's good to see you, Midoriya." Another voice called out.

Izuku pulled back and felt his smile grow bigger. "Sensei! Principal Nedzu!"

"That's right. Old Nedzu is here too! Welcome back, Midoriya!" The cheerful mouse replied.

Izuku found himself crying even harder.

-------

It took a moment, more like minutes before the boy had his emotions under a modicum of control. His eyes were red and he had been given a tissue box for all of it.

But he was better about it now.

"So Midoriya," began officer Tsukauchi. "I understand there's a lot of things that we need to discuss."

Izuku's smile faded a little but he nodded. Yes, there was work to do.

"If you're up for it, we'd like to ask a few questions regarding your kidnapping. If at any moment you feel you can't answer, just let us know and we'll stop for now. We'd all like to help you get back to your…well normal Heroic life as soon as possible."

"I understand."

"Good." Tsukauchi nodded before pulling out a notepad and pen. "Firstly, was Shigaraki or the League of Villains involved in your kidnapping?"

"No."

That brought the adults up short. "Really?"

"Yes. Shigaraki," Izuku managed to keep most of the venom out of his voice, "had nothing to do with what happened to me."

Tsukauchi was about to move to the next question when Izuku suddenly asked. "He's missing, isn't he?"

The intense stare from the cop only got worse. The UA teachers also focused on the boy.

The fact is that All For One's successor had gone missing nearly two weeks after Izuku had. It creates a common theory that the up and coming villain had been the mastermind behind the kidnapping. Many dismissed it since the destructive man child would have been boasting of it nearly the next day. Others wondered if it was a sign that he was getting smarter.

At least now, it seems the connection wasn't as clear cut as they thought.

"How do you know that?"

Izuku nodded, his own face growing intense.

"It's complicated but I can explain. I need something."

"What?"

"There should have been some stuff that came with me when I came back. A pair of scissors. Can you bring them here?"

"Midoriya…" Aizawa started.

"Sensei. All Might. Principal Nedzu." Izuku addressed them all. "Please. I can explain a lot but there's a lot more I need to tell you. I can't do it without those scissors."

The boy's eyes met the adults. He didn't flinch or look away from them.

All Might must have seen something in them because he assented. Nedzu did so next, curiosity in his beady eyes.

"This will probably be irrational but we don't have time to waste. Your mother's on her way and she'll need time to see you. Better to get this done quickly so you can let her know you're ok."

With that remark, Tsukauchi had the item brought to their room.

They were…an odd accessory.

They were scissors. Oddly elegant looking scissors. The kind that someone with money would have to show off to others. The Green jewel in the holster had many wondering if it was real.

It sat on the table like a smoking gun.

"Sensei?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you use your eyes on the scissors?" A confused blink from the underground hero. "If you don't mind."

"Are they…powered by a quirk?"

"It isn't. I just want you all to see it for confirmation."

Again, more confusion was had. Aizawa did use his Erasure.

Nothing happened.

"Alright." Izuku nodded and took them in his hand. He gave them a once over, looking at his reflection in the razor sheen. It was different than what should be on there.

With a deep sigh, he began.

"I wasn't kidnapped by Shigaraki or any villain. By all rights, it was an accident."

"An acci-" All Might butted in but Nedzu quieted him down.

"I think I was out to buy some stuff. More merch, I think." He tried to recall it but…it'd been so long. "Well, I was out in the city. One moment just walking down the street and everything was normal."

"Then I was pulled away. By Solaria Butterfly."

The image of a redhead came to him. A warrior woman who could be kind and gun, but too ruthless and drawn to battle and blood to change.

"She used a wand to summon me to her kingdom. It was called Mewni. The whole thing was a mistake on her part. She was kinda headstrong and always ready to dive into something that came off as to her." Unbidden, a chuckle came out of his mouth. "Drove her brother Justin crazy since he had to mind her. Lord knows Glossaryck wasn't going to. But the spell she used was a one way thing and it was gonna take time, years or maybe decades before I could find a way home. So I joined her as a Knight and helped her fight in a war against-"

"Midoriya!"

"Huh?"

Izuku blinked. All four men were looking at him like he had lost his mind.

The boy then realized what he had just said.

"Oh." He said, snapping a finger. "I was muttering without proof. Sorry."

"Maybe you should take a few more moments to recover Mid-"

Whatever Shota Aizawa was going to say, maybe about irrationality or if a memory quirk had been used on the boy, was left unsaid.

Right in front of the cop and the UA teachers, Izuku opened the scissors and pushed the bottom half forward. A simple action that was without consequence.

…Normally.

"What the?!" All Might said.

Tsukauchi dropped his pen and paper. Nedzu was beaming at the phenomena in genuine interest and was most likely puzzling it out.

Aizawa had his quirk activated. Again, nothing happened.

So why was the scissor sticking into nothing?!

"Your quirk isn't working on it, Sensei." Izuku said. "So we can rule this out as anything I'm doing. Quirks don't work on Magic."

"Magic…"

"These are Dimensional Scissors. Made by an…old acquaintance of mine. Using them, people can travel through dimensions." Izuku pulled the item back. There was still a hole in the fabric of reality.

Thankfully it didn't last long.

"These are special. They not only cut through dimensions but through time." He held them up so that everyone could get a good look at them. "It took a long time to get these. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to get back."

"There's more to why I'm telling you all this. I need your help. But first…"

He then asked the bombshell question.

"Do you want to see Mewni?"

Silence dropped on the small room.

The implications of this was…well it was above Tsukauchi's pay grade. He wasn't even sure if he really saw what he did. Only the fact that the far more intelligent Nedzu hadn't said anything to disprove this magic stuff nor Eraser's quirk affecting the scissors kept him quiet.

What the heck do I do with all this?

Suddenly, All Might stepped forward. "I do."

"Toshi…" Nedzu started.

"I have to, Nedzu. I have to find out what happened." The frail Blonde man nodded to his student. "If you would Midoriya, I want to see this kingdom."

"I'll…I'll need to inform my Superiors." Tsukauchi finally said.

"That's fine. It's better that they know. I'll need their help as well."

Well that's not ominous. The adults thought.

Izuku turned to the side and once more punctured reality. This time, he started cutting. He cut enough to make a hole big enough for All Might to step into.

Now with a proper hole, the tear glowed and became a wider portal. On the other side was a blue sky and some sort of building close by. And…the smell of corn?

"Welp, it's magic." Aizawa said, applying eye drops.

Toshinori looked at the portal and nodded. He said he would go first and he would. If he wanted to learn what had happened, he had to be brave and step forward.

Heroes keep going despite their fear.

So with bold strides, Toshinori Yagi stepped through a magic portal.

In another time…
The Butterfly Kingdom…


"What the heck? It's just some kid?"

Izuku blinked. Something had happened. Something weird.

All the buildings he was passing by were gone. The two to three story department stores of Mustafu were replaced with nothing but open blue sky and trees. He was in a clearing that looked more in place in the countryside than here in the big city.

Also everything smelled like corn.

The green haired hero in training did manage to focus on the voice that was talking. His eyes met two teens about his age.

The speaker was a redheaded girl. Her hair was short and almost shaven despite the low braided ponytail. On her cheeks were dark yellow lightning bolts. Combined with the hair, the cheekmarks, the light clothing and steel bracers on her wrists and arms, she looked like a warrior. Kinda like the Warrior Woman comic series.

Though the sword-like item in her hand looked more like a laser sword.

The other person was a boy. Short purple hair that looked cared for and well glossed and a wardrobe that reminded Izuku of French style Musketeer. Maybe something Aoyama would wear. On his face were odd marks too, purplish green four leaf clovers.

The boy sighed as he addressed the girl. "Well this is what happens when Glossaryck isn't around to make sure everything is done correctly. Perhaps if we just waited till he was done with his pudding, Solaria?"

"The spell wasn't even that hard, Justin. I'm already fourteen. I don't need Glossaryck for all my attempts."

"But doesn't this count as a failure?"

"Not yet!"

"Uhm…" Izuku finally spoke up. "Excuse me?"

"Yeah?" Said the Girl.

"Where am I? What just happened? Was that a teleportation quirk? I've never seen one like that. It was pretty much instantaneous and I didn't even notice that I was somewhere else before the flash went away. But that makes this a kidnapping? Am I kidnapped? Why? Wait, who are you working f-"

A hand clamped on his mouth. It was the girl.

"Stop. Talking." She didn't look mad. She just had swirls in her eyes, most likely from the stress of trying to keep up with Izuku's words.

"Amazing." The boy, Justin, was rubbing his chin in wonder. "I've never met someone who could say so much in a little time. I dare say he could get through a royal decree in less than five minutes and we'd have extra time for tea."

The girl, Solaria, sighed and looked Izuku in the eye. "I'm going to speak. You will listen and allow me to explain. Yes?"

Not knowing what else to do, Izuku nodded.

Solaria stepped back and stood straight. A moment to clear her throat, and she made her proclamation.

"I am the one who summoned you to Mewni. I am Solaria, princess and future Queen of this land. My people are beset by the Monster races and without help, they will overrun us in due time. By the power of my Wand, I asked for the aid of a warrior strong enough to help me."

With a flourish, she took her sword and stuck it in the ground.

"I ask you, are you a Champion?"

-----GS------

Mewni…
Present day…


The smell of corn and carrots was stronger on the other side.

He found himself in a courtyard. The decorated lawn furniture and stone seats had the feel of old school money on it. However, Toshinori felt it was oddly familiar.

He took two more steps and got a feel for the place. It felt so real.

The wind.
The grass under his feet.

He even went next to a stone slab that was most likely for sitting and touched it.

It is real. His blue eyes moved around the yard. As he surveyed his surroundings, he noted many things.

For one, this yard carried a garden. A stone garden that he would find in resorts in Japan. It had been tended to recently.

And now that he was looking, he noted the buildings. For a kingdom in a mystical world, the architecture felt more like Japan as well. Grand wooden homes. The castle itself was made of stone and reminded him of a Shogun era more than anything.

That was…odd.

"All Might?" Izuku called out.

Toshi glanced back at the portal. "I'm still here, Midoriya."

"Ah good. Has Usagi bombarded you with questions? Sorry about that."

"Midoriya, no one is here."

"Huh?"

"Intruder!!"

Toshi whipped around and came face to face with rabbits.

Two humanoid rabbits just a hair shorter than he was. They had paws like normal rabbits did but were just elongated enough to function as fingers and thumbs. However, they were dressed in samurai armor stylized in green and light blue. In their hands were spears.

So much like the Tokugawa era. He thought.

The duo stood ready to attack. The brown Rabbit on the left called out. "State your business, Outsider! How'd you get in?!"

"Uh, Fin? There's a portal right behind him. Seems like he used dimensional scissors." The Right and Light Pink Rabbit replied, pointing at said portal with his spear.

"Lou, I wanted to get a confession before we arrested him. Get his side first."

"What if he was lying?"

"We'll find out later! He still needs to present his side. We aren't gonna be like the Butterflies and just go around arresting people."

"Uhhh…" Lou tipped his spear.

"He's literally in our inner sanctum and got here by unknown means, Lou. Stop being pedantic!" The annoyed Fin then refocused on Toshi. "Now come quietly or else."

"Wait!" Called out Midoriya.

A foot stepped through. Then came a whole body.

But it wasn't Izuku Midoirya.

No…It is.

The person in front of him was taller than Midoiriya. He was also older than Midoriya by a good couple of decades. The little gray spots in his hair. The bags under his eyes that were barely going away. He was also as tall as Toshinori was. Though a little more heavier judging from the small pudge on his stomach.

This man wasn't the teenage Izuku Midoriya who had just returned.

This was an Izuku that had grown up. And grew up roughly.

Oh my god…

"He's with me guys. It's fine." Izuku told them.

The Rabbits gaped and immediately dropped down to a knee.

"A thousand pardons, Green Scar!"

"Super sorry, your Highness!"

"Eh?" Toshi looked between Izuku and the two samurai Rabbits multiple times. "Eh?"

Izuku sighed and was about to say something but thought better of it. Probably from saying it before. Instead he asked them to bring a Princess and her Father to the courtyard. The Rabbits scrambled to get the order done.

"Why's it always those two?" Izuku muttered under his breath. He then noticed that his teacher was gaping at him. "What?"

"You're…older."

"Ah. Yeah. Guess I'm about thirty-five, give or take." He rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish grin. "Bit much, isn't it?"

It was.

"Hey, All Might! Is it fine yet?!"

That was Aizawa. "Oh, sorry Eraser! Yes, it's fine! Midoriya is here too!"

"Alright, we're coming through!"

The scruffy teacher and Nedzu both arrived at the same time. Immediately, Aizawa was trying to erase what possible quirk nonsense was happening. And as the final nail in the coffin, nothing changed.

"Well, well. Looks like the grande tale was more of an autobiography after all." Nedzu commented, taking in the sights. "Though the Tokugawa element was a bit of a surprise. Midoriya?"

"Well…I did spend time telling them stories about Earth. My Earth, anyway. And they kinda carried that on when they were building this place."

"Hmm." Nedzu furrowed his brow at the castle itself. "There are some battle scars on it. It had to have been rebuilt."

"Yeah…" No one missed the tone Izuku had. Melancholy and wistful. "A lot happened. Some of it I wasn't here for…"

"Midoriya…" Toshi wanted to say something but wasn't sure what.

"Sorry!"

The Earthlings were joined by a new Rabbit person.

This one was a young girl, running at them at full speed. For some reason, she decided to jump and hop off the walls of the castle in an impressive display of leg strength and parkour. With a flip, she managed to skid to a stop a couple of feet in front of Izuku, tracking some dirt on him.

She was about as tall as Izuku when he was young. She was a full on white Rabbit mixed with a tomboy. The yellow shirt with the words Kick on it and black sporting shorts helped with the image. The little flower next to her ears did add a little more cuteness to her.

She took a few breaths but flinched at the mess she made.

"Sorry, Super Great Grandpa. Cream wanted me for something then I had to use that bathroom. Sorry."

Izuku smiled. "It's fine, Usagi."

He then presented the three teachers with a hand. "I'd like to introduce you to my teachers from My Earth. Uh, are your Hero names fine?"

"Sure."
"Go ahead."
"That's fine."

"Okay then. This is Eraser, my old homeroom teacher." Izuku presented Shota Aizawa first before moving to Toshinori Yagi. "And this is All Might."

Usagi gaped. "The Sleepy Enforcer Eraser and Hero of Might?! The Heroes from the stories?!"

Izuku nodded. The starry look in Usagi's eyes continued for a moment. The two men were used to it.

"But they're really here! Oh my gosh, Scorch and Marco are gonna lose their minds when they find out!" Usagi noticed Nedzu. "Oh! I'm sorry for overlooking, uhm?"

"I'm Principal of UA, Nedzu. Am I a bear? Am I a mouse? The answer is a secret!"

The old description of Nedzu made Izuku smile a little.

Usagi led them inside the palace, Fin and Lou staying back as the portal closed. Aizawa decided to stay behind with the portal. Someone had to maintain communication with Tsukaichi.

They got to see the long and impressive hallway of past Rabbit Rulers.

And it left the three newcomers with more questions than ever. Cause a few of those rulers looked suspiciously like characters they've seen before.

A Buggs who looked so done with everything while a cute yellow rabbit hugged him close. Behind them and doing the peace sign who had an odd Black Duck monster dressed as a Wizard.

A wacky picture of a small beady eyed white rabbit wielding a Hammer with an explosion happening behind him.

There were also intense looking portraits of a large rabbit with a strong overbite that radiated bloodlust. Or a tall rabbit with a red jacket fighting gloves slamming his fists together.

And was one of them a vampire?

Izuku felt eyes on the back of his head but kept walking. Not even he could answer them.

They arrived at the wooden doors to the great hall. The guards opened it for them and they stepped in.

Inside was a wide gymnasium-like hall with rows of retainers standing at attention. At the end of the long green carpet were two occupied thrones.

Anyone would have taken the moment to bow before such an occasion.

However, the three UA staff members were not told to do so. So they took the moment to again give Izuku confused stares and the need for Answers.

A short red rabbit wearing clothes that could only come from a messenger or Page, stood at the front to meet the guests of honor. With a squeaky loud voice, he proclaimed, "Presenting the King and Queen of the Rabbit Kingdom!"

"King Miyamoto and Queen Vanilla!"

The King bore a strong resemblance to a certain rabbit samurai from a comic book back in the Americas.

Samurai style garb of light and dark blue with a Rabbit's foot as the insignia.

Similar scar across his left brow.

And a serious countenance that would be at home in the Japanese history books

The lady was in a kimono that was floral pink and white. However, the designs on the bottom were carrot orange and looked more like lightning bolts. She looked every bit the picture of a calm and nurturing mother.

The royal couple stood up and bowed. Miyamoto spoke first, "It's good to see you back already, Honorable Grandfather. Is your home ready to speak?"

"Not yet. I brought these two here to start things off."

"As you say."

Nedzu stepped forward, "Pardon me, your Highness. Midoriya."

He was given their full attention.

"It seems to me that a problem has arisen that threatens not just your world but ours has come up. It sounds like you could use a lot more Heroes to lend a hand with dealing with it. Is that the case?"

"That is so." Queen Vanilla replied. She then asked Izuku, "Have you not told them yet, Izuku?"

"Grandpa kinda takes a moment to get to the point. Especially if he's got a tangent." Usagi commented.

The green adult looked embarrassed. "I just wanted to give them proof before they saw everything else."

"Didn't the scissors do that?"

"Oh. They certainly have us a bit of a scare but this does give more context!" Nezu chuckled. "But now we have even more questions."

"But first, as for the problem." Nezu's cheerful demeanor changed as he gave his next words the needed weight. "As astounding as it sounds, is it possible the problem is Shigaraki Tomura?"

The aura in the room turned dour.

Miyamoto narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist. It didn't last for Vanilla took his in hers. There was a comforting squeeze, not just for him but for her.

Usagi looked away, clearly uncomfortable.

But Izuku was the oddest one of all. A crackle of energy, of One for All, danced across his body. But the way it manifested was different. Not just the energy but the fact there were more…red cracks along his arms and an odd "x" across his face. To top it off, a single black tendril leaked from his wrist.

He took a deep breath and it all went away.

Izuku presented a hand to Miyamoto, giving him the floor to speak.

"The fiend known as Tomura Shigaraki of the Black Hand is not only an enemy of the Rabbit Kingdom but also of the whole land of Mewni. If you give us the time, we and the Butterfly Kingdom would like to formally help you in apprehending him."

"I see. So things have become much more complicated." Nezu nodded. "I'm afraid I cannot speak for everyone back in Japan, your Highness. We have superiors that we have to bring this news too."

"I understand. Izuku can be the intermediary between us."

"It may be a bit difficult due to his age back in Japan."

The rabbits looked confused.

"When I got back, I turned back into a fourteen year old." Izuku answered. "I'm just a student and Hero-in-training there."

"Oh yeah. You guys don't have teens running quests and stuff right?" Usagi asked.

Nezu answered. "Not without constant supervision and even then they aren't required to handle true danger."

"Huh. Sounds weird."

"Earth's a lot safer than here, Usagi."

Toshinori wondered about that. If things were that dangerous, then what did Izuku need to do to survive? Nevermind having to tangle with Nana's grandchild. Did he get further with One for All?

"Right! Well we will do all that we can. But before all that, there are many people Izuku needs to reconnect with first. Not to mention his kidnapping needs to be explained."

"Oh yeah." Usagi blinked and turned to her Grandfather. "Kinda forgot you got kidnapped the first time. Are you gonna be ok back there Grandpa? Like with your Mom and Dad?"

Izuku tried to imagine how he would break the news to his mother. He looked like he sucked a lemon. "It'll be fine…maybe."

 

[Kalem_Lee]

Mewni…
The Reign of Skywynne, Queen of Hours…
The Butterfly Castle…


Am I still here?

That was the only thought Izuku could conjure up. He just sat there, sitting in seiza, with the most dumbfounded look on his face.

But really, what does one do when they get Isekai'd to a fantasy world?

The boy had read the odd manga or two before going back to his superhero comics. They were fine enough though some of the heroes did go power hungry and become bad guys that a sequel hero had to take care of. Other times the heart of heroic writing petered out and it became more slice of life.

Nothing wrong with that but Izuku was interested in seeing heroes being heroes.

And now here he was.

Can I still be a Hero?

"Look! I'm sorry, Mom! I already apologized!"

Izuku robotically turned his head to watch the argument taking place. It was between the girl who summoned him and the Queen of the castle, her Mother.

Skywynne Lavender Butterfly was a fair skinned lady and dressed in a flowing lavender dress and her short orange hair done in a royal bun. Like her children, she had odd cheekmarks, this time hourglasses. The crown she wore was small but still elegant.

The woman sighed as she looked at her daughter in disappointment.

"I understand that Solaria but we are still stuck with a young boy taken from his home! And judging from your spell, it was a one way attempt. We cannot send him back. Do you understand that?"

"Yes! And I'll handle it! It can't be that hard to make a spell to send him back!"

"Actually, it is." Another voice said.

Izuku got to watch a small blue man float in the air from behind him. The man was staring at him with three eyes. In any other time, the boy would have been shocked and jumped in fright. He still wasn't there yet.

"What do you mean, Glossaryck?"

"Exactly what I mean. It'll be hard to send him back since this is an incredibly new spell. Most of the summons that can be done with the wand all come from the realm of Magic Realm. All of them, new creations made whole cloth."

Glossaryck took hold of Izuku's cheek and made him look left, right and forward.

"This lad came from an actual different dimension. Possibly so far from the Realm of Magic that the connection may be just the itsy bitsies thread." Now he was just pulling on the boy's cheek. "Frankly, a one in a bajillion million chance!"

Izuku wasn't sure if that was good or not.

"So because he was sooo far off, I can't just like, throw him back?"

"He's not a fish, Solaria." Skywynne admonished.

"Nope! Congrats, little Solaria. You snagged yourself a boy!" Glossaryck said with a lazy wiggle of his eyebrows.

"Oh shut up, Glossaryck." She huffed, folding her arms.

After all their talking, Izuku finally managed to find his voice. Mustering himself, he asked, "I'm really stuck here?"

The other occupants gave him different looks. Boredom from Glossaryck while the royals were at least sorry. Skywynne stepped forward and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Please don't worry. I promise on the butterfly name that we will do what we can. It may take some getting used to but Mewni has many things to offer. Like the new academy I've put together for non magical but special children. You seem like the scholarly type so you should excel there."

She then began leading him out of the room. There was a mention of having a room to sleep in for as long as he liked.

Solaria only half listened to that.

She had the most uncomfortable churning in her gut. This really is bad isn't it? What am I supposed to do?

"Just make use of him as you planned."

She glared at Glossaryck.

"He's got nothing else to do. And even if this was an odd misfire, I doubt the wand would bring you someone that you couldn't make use of. You asked for a warrior-"

"Champion."

"Whatever. Someone who's tough and strong and can fight. Despite how soft he looks, there is a power in the lad. So why not keep him close?"

The redhead hummed and glanced at her wand. Was he really the answer that she was looking for?

-------

Izuku was given a room on…he was sure it was like the fourth floor. The castle didn't really have floors like most modern places he knew. He wasn't even sure how many people lived in the castle itself.

The room itself was sparse but big enough for one person. Just a few pieces of furniture, like a bed and a desk.

If this was back in old medieval times, then that meant no personal bathroom.

Still, it gave him a place to rest his head and think.

" Young Midoriya?"

"Uhm, yes Ma-I mean, your Majesty?" That's what you called royals right?

"Call me Skywynne or Queen if you like." The orangette graced him with a smile. "Please don't think too badly of my daughter. I promise she will take responsibility."

"I-I don't blame her! And I promise to not be a nuisance! And to pull my weight!" He bowed to her.

She chuckled. "Worry not. Like I said, we'll find a way to help."

She looked out the window. Nightfall was approaching.

"If you want to rest, feel free. We'll send someone to fetch you for dinner."

With that parting line, Skywynne left him.

Izuku stood in the room for a few minutes before he sat on the cot. It was a little hard but nothing too bad.

So he was stuck here.

I wish I could've spoken to Mom a little more.

"Hey!"

Izuku jumped in fright. He looked around trying to find the culprit. He gaped at Solaria standing at the window.

"You busy?"

"Uh? Whu? No. I was jus-"

"Good." She hopped down and marched right toward him. "Come with me!"

She took him by the hand, which he gasped at(I'm holding hands with a Girl?!) and pulled him toward the window.

"Wait, what?!"

"Calm down! We'll fly down!"

Saying that, she jumped out the high window, dragging Izuku with her. The boy screamed on the way down.

"WIngs Fly!" Cried out Solaria.

With a glow of light, huge red bird wings appeared on Solaria's back. With a few flaps, the downward spiral they were on was changed to an amazing flight into the sunset. They touched down on a small plateau.

Or they would have, had Solaria stuck the landing. Or misjudged Izuku's weight combined with hers.

The two teens round up face first on the ground.

"Was that supposed to happen?" Izuku said with a groan.

"Shut up." Solaria dusted herself off and stood up. "Anyway, there's a reason I brought you here." She presented a hand to the space over the hill. "Take a look."

Izuku joined her. Down below was a vast valley. Wooden huts where the townspeople were going in and out and making merry. The sounds carrying over from below was one of jocularity and fun. There was even some guy streaking and singing before the guards caught him and brought him to the jailhouse.

"They're our subjects. Only recently did Mum decide to expand our lands for all our people. But doing so only invites monsters to come and eat them. We can hold them off but we need more than that."

As she spoke, Solaria took in the sight of the kingdom. Her people that she would be in charge of one day.

She would have many enemies to battle.

A large part of her couldn't wait to break Monster bones. But the other more annoying part of her knew that there was a big thing her Mom was doing and that she would pass it to her.

And if she was gonna make it work, she needed strength. Not just in herself but in her troops.

She looked at her Ch-well new recruit really.

He just didn't seem like a fighter. Can she work with this?

"I'm sorry. For taking you from your world. Should you choose to, I promise to protect you until we can find something for you."

"I can fight."

"And I promise to let you live in the ca-wait what?"

"I-I can fight!" Izuku brought up his fists. Solaria couldn't help glance at the scar on his right arm. It looked kinda cool. "I didn't get a chance to mention earlier but I'm a hero in training. I can help!"

"Oh? You don't really look the type."

"I've kinda been told that before but trust me." He put on his best hero smile. "If anyone needs saving, I'll be there to help."

Solaria just looked at him. Aw man, still not good enough. Maybe if I used a little more teeth?

"Pffthahahahaha!"

And to top it off, she was laughing.

"Well alright then, Shrimp! I'll be sure to grind you into a Hero."

"Uhm…thanks. And my name is Izuku. Izuku Midoriya."

"Alright, Izuku! First we're gonna start you off simple."

------

"If you can break a rock, you can break bones!" Solaria patted the eight foot boulder she managed to find.

Izuku looked at it. Then at her. "That's it?"

"Whaddya mean, 'that's it'? Do you have any idea how much Magic I need to use to push this? As A Knight, we gotta see where your muscles are. They're ok but they need to get better."

I don't think I can even push this an inch without One For All. With that in mind, he called up the power.

He took a stance and let the familiar crackle and buzz of energy course through him. The rush of ten percent felt easier to manage here.

"The heck?" Solaria cried out.

"SMASH!" Izuku cried as he let loose.

His fist collided with the rock, making a loud crash that if it hit the ground would have sent people falling. The rock caved to the pressure and lost a wide amount of mass! It now looked like a three inch depression had been made, like the outer layer shell of an egg had been cracked.

Izuku looked over his handiwork. "Is that good?"

Solaria blinked.

She then shrugged. "It's a start."


---GS----

Mustafu City…
Present Day…


"MY BABYYYY!"

Izuku was barreled over when his mom crashed right into him. Inko had arrived a mite earlier than expected and was brought back to the debrief room to wait. The detective and Eraser didn't really know how to explain where Izuku was so placated her that some talks were being made but he was here and she could see him.

Then a green portal appeared out of nowhere and Izuku stepped out of it with All Might and Principal Nezu.

Inko ignored the portal completely and hugged her baby boy. Relief, grief, and so many emotions exploded out of her just like her tears.

Izuku laid there, almost scared to do anything. But soon he returned the hug. He sat up and just held his mother in his arms.

Soon mother and son were crying together. Both just happy to see each other again. Even if things would never be the same.

She hardly noticed the other men in the room leaving out to give them space. Inko pulled back and gently held her son's face. She couldn't help but check him over for any scar or bruise or anything that could be a wound. But when she got to his eyes, something clicked.

It was Mother's intuition. Something was wrong with her baby.

"Izuku? What's wrong? They didn't hurt you, did they?"

Izuku hesitated. Which only did terrible things for her blood pressure.

"Mom, there's..some things I have to tell you."

"What? Oh god, do you have a scar? Did they take something?!"

"Mom…"

She knew she had to calm down and let him speak. It was just taking her too long to get everything in order.

So imagine her surprise when the world decided to help speed things along.

"Hey Gramps! I'm ready to…"

Inko drew back when she saw a small rabbit girl appear out of that green portal. And now that she was able to consider it, she asked, "Izuku, what is this? And who is she?"

Her son made the most complicated expression until he turned to the girl and bade her come forward. The white rabbit stepped out with a small bag hung over her shoulder.

The girl was staring at Inko.

"Uhm are you the one who helped my boy?" She asked.

"Izuku? It's more like he helped me and my group out a lot more." The older woman was starting to feel weirded out by the awestruck blue eyes on her. "Wow. It's really you…"

"Usagi…" Izuku sighed.

"Sorry Grampa! But it's like…it's Great Grandma! How am I supposed to act?!"

Great what?

Inko's reddened eyes were now boring a hole into her son's head. "Izuku…?"

"Right. Uhm...Mom. This is Miyamoto Usagi."

Inko blinked.

"I know what you're thinking but it's…kind of a coincidence. Ahem. Anyway, she's…your great, great, great…many great granddaughter..?"

The woman could only stare at her fourteen year old son as he presented her with what could only be a fourteen year old girl who he was saying was her great grandchild.

"Sweetie, if you need counseling, I swear we'll get you the best! No amount is too much to help you!"

Izuku sighed. He then pointed to that odd green portal. "I have to show you something."

----RGS---------

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Mom?" The tall man who had taken the place of her son asked. Sure he had Izuku's face and smile but he was almost her age now. This couldn't be her baby.

This had to be a trick. An aging quirk or something. How else could this have happened?

And yet, this whole place. Those rabbit people watching from a distance. This was so beyond what a Quirk could do. And even then why?

A hand touched her shoulder. "Mrs. Midoriya."

She looked at her side. It was Mr. Yagi.

"I'm sorry but…it is true. It's all true."

Mr. Yagi or All Might would not lie to her. Not after promising to take responsibility for helping her son. Not when he had been missing for a month. All Might wouldn't do all this just to play some cruel odd prank on her.

So that meant…

Unable to handle all this in one sitting, she fainted.

-------

"Mom!" Izuku caught her before she could hit the ground. Sadly, the woman was out cold.

"Too much?" Usagi asked.

"Waay too much." Izuku sighed. "We should have waited."

She nodded. "And you haven't even told her about the scar yet."

The two humans and rabbit princess flinched. That was not going to be a fun conversation.

---

Spoiler: [B]Author's Note[/B]

And thats part 1 done. Small glimpses of Izuku's first time in the silly world of mewni and his return to his world. Mostly to safeguard the world against his fatal enemy Shigaraki Tomura but also to see his old family again.

But how does a man rediscover his place in the world? How do you let your mother know she has grandchildren? Symbollically or otherwise?

Those questions and more will be show when we return...

Stay tuned...

 

[Kalem_Lee]

Putting this up to know where we are coming from. If you wanna be surprised for when it comes up, just ignore this.

Spoiler: Background stuff

This timeline is comprised of a Tale of Two Sisters. Izuku has been with two women in his Isekai tale and has had children by them.

Solaria Butterfly the Monster Carver: Eclipsa
Vell the Rabbit Monster: Roger Rabbit, Bloody the Vampire Rabbit, Little Grey, and two more daughters and one son.

Izuku had been in Solaria's company for nearly ten years before he left to join the monsters. In total, he rocked the Mewni landscape for twenty years.

It was during the last five years Solaria's reign and the battles between the Carver and the Green Scar that the Rabbit Kingdom truly crystalized as more than various rabbits banding together under the Green Scar banner. While Izuku shared a commiserating drink with different clans, he would never be the first true Rabbit King on paper.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

A secret location…


The Giant shuffled along.

The earth beneath him rumbled with each step. His strength, capable of breaking whole towns. A single rampage would cost hundreds or close to thousands of lives. And that was only when he was in first gear. If he were to become pissed or commanded by the Master he dearly missed...

The lone scientist watched this with a modicum of concern. Only the type where the plans that he had made for his leader were in jeopardy.

Garaki had no clue what happened to Shigaraki Tomura and his band of misfits. And now close to two weeks of radio silence and no physical signs of them, he feared the worst.

And yet his curiosity only grew.

The round man knew there were no major players that could orchestrate a move like this. The heir for All For One is not one who can just disappear without Garaki's knowing. And yet he did.

Garaki very nearly tore out the last bits of his hair trying to figure it out.

After that, he spent the time trying to locate the wayward league of Villains. And today was the last day.

"I cannot believe I have failed All For One like this…" He wiped his face. Faint traces of sweat were on his hands. He was afraid.

Which was understandable.

This was a screw up monumental to letting that foolish brute All Might escape after Nana Shimura's death.

"Perhaps more calculations on the High End number 32 will calm my ner-

Suddenly at the corner of his eye, he spotted Gigantomachia.

The Mountain Man was standing straight. His dark eyes sparkled with determination.

"There…." He growled as he began running.

"What could get his att-"

The doctor flinched. "But of course! What else could it be?!"

Garaki tapped the keyboards to get a satellite look at the targets while also calling them on the phone. Luckily, he had one of their numbers. He pressed the call button.

Ring.
Ring.
Ring.

Click.

"Who dis?"

He recognized that voice! It was Jin Bubaigawara, the self replicating villain Twice!

"So you all have finally returned!" he shouted over the phone. "It is about time, Tomura Shigaraki!"

At the moment, no response came. In fact, the only sound he could hear was some woman yelling in the background.

"...Ke Up! HandyMan! This is no time for the troops to be sleeping!"

"Knock it off, Mina! He's unconscious already!"

"DROP DEAD SEPTARIAN!"
"I'M HUMAN, YOU CRONE!"

"Get your hands off Our Lord, Mewni scum!"

He recognized Spinner, the reptile heteromorph of the group but not the others. The third voice, he had no recollection of.

The second one just sounded like a mad woman.

Sounds of scuffling could be heard as most likely other members of the league were stopping the woman from accosting the Villain Leader. However, it didn't seem they were having that good of an effect.

"Mina please quiet down! I'm talking to some unknown guy. No seriously! Who the hell is this!?"

"I was the one who gave Shigaraki the Nomu."

The voice of a girl spoke up next. "Oh that old science guy! Shiggy did mention that! So we really are back on earth!"

That was Toga Himiko.

"Ohhhh! So what!?" Twice said. "Anyways, Boss man can't come to the phone on account of being knocked the heck out, Doc!"

"Well it's good to know we actually got back to the right place." An annoyed growl sounded off. The impatience and tone had to be from Dabi. "If we had to go through the Ice zone or that stupid Gobble monster dimension just to get back to this hell hole, I would have thrown these idiots to be eaten."

"We came at Master Shigaraki's request. Get in our way at your own peril, Flame broil!"

"The Master needs adequate space to replenish himself. Is there a dwelling we can take him to?"

Who on earth?

The computer finally found them and displayed a picture.

Garaki blinked.

Where did those hooded figures come from? Their clothing reminded him of the fringe Hetermorph hating quirk groups. However, the figures did not wear skull masks to hide their identities. Instead, they had hand shaped masks on their faces. Charcoal black hands that were much like Shigaraki's own signature style. They totaled twelve in number and their body shapes denoted mix genders and body forms.

Still the question remained: who were they?

But more to the point, what happened to the League?

All of them had tattered clothing and looked like they had been in a fierce battle for their lives.

Compress's mechanical hand was missing fingers and was in dire need of repairs.
Himiko had scars and small blood traces about her. Her blood sucking equipment was almost gone.
Twice and Dabi had arms that needed splints.

But the worst was Shigaraki. Like they said, the man was just lying on his back, completely unresponsive. He was breathing judging from the rise and fall of his diaphragm at least. His top was completely gone, showing multiple bruise marks and fist indents near his abdomen and an obvious black eye on his left one.

The cultist people were surrounding him, as if a makeshift barrier. Perhaps he picked up followers? Odd consider-

"Who in the Rogal Zar are you all talking too?!" shouted the crazy woman again.

The camera feed switched over to her and…

My assessment was correct. The bald scientist's eyes roved over the woman. She was not the picture of mental health.

Disregarding the colorful bubblegum purple of her bun styled hair, the wild almost unblinking status of her eyes and her posture denoted someone with an erratic sleep style and hyper energy. It may even be a wild question if she slept at all. Like the rest, she had clothing damage alongside a broken tooth and a black eye. The spiked helmet on her head was missing what could only be a pointed tip.

And yet, she still had a hold on Shigaraki and was attempting to shake him awake. It took five of those cultists, Spinner, and Compress to get her off.

Once they did, she began to wander around spouting about some Rabbit coming for them.

"What on earth happened to you all?" Garaki asked, at a loss.

"It's a crazy ass story that would be too long to say. Toga got us all Isekai'd to a magic land." Twice replied.

Garaki paused. He needed several moments to parse through what the masked multiple man had said. And yet it didn't make sense.

"...Compress?"

"Despite how short he said it, Doctor, Twice summed it all up quite well." The masked thief replied. He took a seat nearby Shigaraki and sighed in complete exhaustion . "There is magic afoot doctor and we've all experienced it."

Garaki couldn't believe what he was hearing. Just as he was about to say something, the ground began to rumble under the villainous group.

"What the heck?" Spinner questioned as he tried to stay up right.

"Protect the Lord!" One of the cultists shouted. They formed a circle around Shigaraki.

"The Rabbit's here!" The woman Mina shouted a-

Garaki blinked. One moment, the woman looked nearly ninety pounds soaking wet. The next she looked like she was in the same bench press team as Muscular.

"Oh my. Gigantomachia has found you already." Garaki commented.

He began typing on the main computer. He had to get the full story out of them before Gigantomachia squashed them all.

"Who?" Twice and Toga asked.

"The Giant Mountain man that wanted to squish us!" Spinner yelled. "How the hell did you guys forget that?!"

"Because we were on a magical adventure?"

"Not an excuse! I remembered! Dabi remembered!"

"That's because Dabi barely fought him." Toga commented.

The burnt man scoffed. "Because some of us had actual work to do on breaking the hero society. Not playing tag with a Dogman."

The rest of the talk was cut off as the lumbering Giant's head peeked out from the forest. His beady eyes immediately zeroed in on the sleeping Shigaraki.

"Finally…" He grumbled as the greenery was pushed out of the way. "It's been weeks since I last caught you. How dare you disappear…!"

"Oh crud." The League muttered in unison.

"For Solaria!!!!!"

One moment they were preparing to fight. The next Gigantomachia's nose had a dent on it while being pushed back!

"Huh?!" Garaki shouted.

The giant then focused his ire on the gnat that struck him and slammed her into the ground. Just as he was about to deliver another hit, she was up and backflipping out of his fist range. Then she climbed up his arm and front kicked his chin. The mammoth head reared back from the force of it.

But only for just a moment.

Gigantomachia struck back with a full on headbutt!

"WAAAAAAAAH!"

CRASH!

Mina fell into the earth like a meteor. If one were to go looking for her, they would see a five foot deep indent in the ground.

The group could only watch and wait to see what shape the insane but strong woman would be in.

"Ha! You think that's enough to bring me down, Dog Monster!" Mina hopped out of the ditch, dirty but still raring to go. "HAVE AT THEE!!"

Twice started holding his face in exaggerated terror. "She's holding her own against that monster! She's dead for sure!"

"Well she did tank those fists from Midoriya…" Compress sounded just as dumbfounded.

"Big Sis is crazy strong. I think a lot of us would lose our heads if she tried that on us." Saying that, Toga was fiddling with a knife. Did she take out from fear? Probably.

Back at his own hideout, Garaki had very nearly had enough of today's ridiculous discoveries. He had a whole speech prepared for when he and his Master's heir finally met up and the boy was still asleep!

He needed to bring them in from the cold.

"Ok, we're ready!" One of those hand cultists shouted. A woman by the sounds of it! "Lieutenants! Gather close for we're going into hiding!"

"What about Mina?" Toga asked as Twice helped her over.

"What about the Butterfly peasant?"

Spinner nearly smacked her upside the head. "Will you knock it off? She promised to aid Shigaraki and us. That's all that matters."

The cultist grumbled but acquiesced.

Before he could resume his call, Garaki was treated to an amazing sight. The cultists raised their hands in perfect synchronized timing but each one had their hands in different gestures.

The odd moves then produced an odd energy signature and aura to fly from their hands and cover the league. In mere moments, the other energy changed into a black gelatinous mass.

But when the mass fell away, they were all gone!

"..."

Garaki had a lot to answer to his Master for. At least, Gigantomachia had a playmate and the League were back where he should be able to track them.

For now, he needed a stiff drink.

---

Spoiler: [B]Author's Note[/B]

New arc and the League is back in town! With a new crew and a lotta bruises!

Green Scar was not gentle.

This one may go for a bit as I figure out who gets a say this time. But don't worry, Shiggy is just restin. At least Mina has something to do.

Stay tuned.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

Inko Midoriya was shaking. For the second time in her life, she was about to meet some very important people. And just like before, it was tied back to her baby boy Izuku.

The first time was when All Might retired and formally asked to train her son to be a Hero.

That had been heart stopping.

Now though it was even worse.

"Is it really safe?" She asked. She had put on her best business skirt and top. She hoped it looked nice.

"I've been through it many times and it was made by the best in the business." Izuku said with a reassuring smile. "Do you want me to go through first?"

"...If you don't mind."

"No problem, Mom."

He stepped through the green hole in reality. Now alone with her thoughts, Inko began to fidget.

'I'm going to see my son's kingdom. I'm going to see more of his descendants. Oh dear. There's literally no books for this…"

Izuku's head popped back in. He looked…apologetic?

"Uhm. They've brought out the welcome mat. It's a bit much but they mean well!"

That did not help her nerves.

-----

"WELCOME, HONORED MOTHER!!"

Her worry was well placed.

When they arrived, rows of rabbit samurai guards were at the entrance. They were decked out in full regalia and were arranged from small things that almost reached her knees to big bunnies that they tried to match All Might in height.

Her son led her inside as each samurai bowed to her when she passed by.

Inside was even crazier.

Buildings that declared reverence for Izuku's other persona, the Green Scar. Streamers that had his name hung off the tallest buildings and connected them to the next building over. Miles of merchandising like toys, cups, engravings on weapons, lucky charms, masks, etc.

In the streets, the rabbit people danced. Again, the Japanese aesthetic was strong here as Inko recognized the dances as ones she used to dance to. Not just the kimonos but the full hair buns, white face paint, and the theaters. Did Izuku teach them that?

Food stalls had carrots, sweets, meat, and various corn dishes. And when she said corn dishes, she meant it. There was a lot of it.

While odd, this was…kinda nice.

The people cheered as Izuku passed them by but they also made sure to bow to her as well.

Oh dear. Her face began to glow red.

Soon they went into the actual castle.

And there was the royal family Izuku said wanted to meet her. The two parents. The two daughters and the son.

And even more samurai retainers.

"Welcome, Lady Inko, First Mother." A small one white rabbit announced.

And then everyone was bowing.

"Oh my." Inko whispered.

Izuku looked embarrassed too. "Yeah, this is them being restrained."

The King and Queen stepped forward and bowed to her first. Is everyone really going to do this?

"Thank you for coming, Lady Inko. You honor us on this day." said the King.

The Queen presented a hand "Join us for tea? I'm sure Usagi has told you some stories about us. I would be happy to hear them as well."

-----

"And this is when Usagi was taken outside for the first time." Vanilla pointed to the middle of a triptych portrait.

"Oh! That's such a cute dress. She seems more like the sporty type but looks so nice in dresses. Though that glare is something else."

"She gets that from her Father." She turned a page and Inko squealed. "Though she also gets her silly looks from him too."

"She looks so unassuming!"

"Right?"

"I have some old things of Izuku I always keep with me. If you want…"

"Oh please!"

Inko went to fish out her own baby pictures. It was kind of a longshot gamble but since this group were…family, then maybe she could find some common ground. And found it she had.

"Here's Izuku in his old All Might pajamas."

"Oh my! Grandfather looks so tiny!" Vanilla cooed.

"Mama?"

The two looked down to see the youngest daughter of the family. Little Cream and her odd friend Cheese.

"Yes Hun?"

"Scorch's bringing out some dishes…"

Just as she said that, the doors to the patio were flung open. The sole son of the family, Scorch, was carrying two large silver trays, two smaller trays, and one small personal plate at the top, for their lunch. However, they were a tad too big for the boy.

He didn't even make it five steps before he tripped and they slipped out of his hands!

"Wha!" He cried out as the breakable items hovered in the air, mere seconds from falling.

And they would have…if not for the fast feet of the family.

Izuku appeared in an arc of green lightning and caught the two largest plates. Usagi followed in his footsteps and caught the other two.

But that left the last…!

Which floated in the air?

"I got it." Inko said with a wave of her hand. Her telekinesis was a little shaky since she could only pull small objects to her. Luckily the secret meal was just the right weight.

She gently put it on the table with a smile.

The smile then became embarrassed as the rest of the family clapped for her victory.

"Great work on the save Gr-Miss Inko." Usagi said.

Izuku smiled, "It runs in the family."

"Very Heroic." Miyamoto praised, along with the children and his wife as well.

Inko blushed at the praise and settled in for this nice little outing. She couldn't wait for the next
time she could come around.

Maybe this new family isn't so bad. She thought as she took a bite.

She liked the carrot cake the most.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

Izuku Midoriya:Found!!

The headline made waves the moment the police made the statement. One of the interesting first years of UA's trouble magnet classroom 1A had finally been located a month into his disappearance.

Once the call was out, the usual suspects made their rounds.

Many cheered to see a young hero found.
The conspirators kept asking questions on what happened and why.

And the underworld grumbled about another hero making a comeback. And yet, not even the League of Villains copped to being the kidnappers of the runt. It left those in the shadows of society confused and wondering.

Izuku found his face plastered on the internet and found it embarrassing. It's a good thing he had more important things to occupy his time.

"Uraraka. Ida. Mineta…Mina." He recited as he went over his old notes.

Yes, he made notes about his friends and their quirks. He couldn't help it. They were all so interesting and he couldn't help but look at them from what angle he could. What else would a quirkless fanboy do?

But now he needed them for another reason: a refresher.

He had forgotten quite a few things after his twenty year stint in Mewni. Some friends' names had faded in the background and some vehicles just were forgotten about. He needed a moment to remember a bus, for God's sake!

So he needed a review.

And luckily he has help.

------

Usagi held up a card. "The one with many arms?"

"That's…Soji?"

"Mezou Shouji." She turned the card around and showed a tall young man with six arms and covering over his head and face. It looked like a ninja mask actually.

"Ah. He helped save my life back then. When the league kidnapped Kacchan."

"I remember that story. It wasn't a very happy one since it led to that All for One guy." The rabbit shivered. "Crazy to believe he's out there somewhere. Even if he's locked up."

"You don't have to worry about him. He's in the one place no villain has ever gotten out of. The guards there are like…more competent Rhombulus."

"Are they as goofy?"

"No."

Usagi nodded in wonder.

"Ok…next is…a little girl?"

"Little girl?" Did he know… "Wait! Wait! That's Eri!"

"Yeah. Was she a classmate too? I don't remember that story."

"Me and other heroes rescued her from Overhaul. The one who could pull people apart by the tiniest molecule."

Usagi grimaced. "Oh. Ugh. That sounded awful. Ya know, even Star's vaporize spell sounds nicer than that."

There was a knock at the door.

"I have snacks." Inko called out.

"Come in."

The pudgy mother stepped in the room carrying tea and snacks. "How's it going Izuku? Usagi?"

"It's…going."

"Don't worry, you'll remember them in no time." She placed the food on his old bedroom work table. "By the way, Usagi. Are you sure I don't need to do anything more with Izuku's room other than tidy it? We can move the All Might Memorabilia."

"Nah, it's fine Gr-I mean, Miss Inko." She silently thanked the girl. She wasn't ready to be called Grandma yet. "It's a little weird but I don't wanna ruin Grampa's stuff."

She did twitch a little at her son being called Grandfather.

"Though really, I didn't think people made so much stuff for one person. Not even Butterfly Castle had this much dedicated to the past queens. Not even Queen Crestia."

"Never underestimate fans, Usagi." Said the fanboy. "I hope you like it while you stay here."

The two went back to the friend quiz after their little break. Each time, Izuku was a little disheartened that he had forgotten much.

Names misspoken. Events that were close to what happened. Or just flat out forgotten.

He didn't even remember what their rooms looked like when they all first moved into the dorms. It was the first activity they did in their new home.

It opened them up to each other.

"Super Grampa?" Usagi poked him.

"Hm?"

"It's gonna be fine, you know. You can just...hang with them and start new memories. Or heck, just being around them might dig out the old ones. You never know."

It was possible. Echoes of the past have a way of cropping up for people.

Even being in this old room drudged up when he first saw All Might's amazing rescue for the hundredth time. Or when the same man invited him to UA.

However, old memories of friends did remind him of two he wouldn't be able to see again. And the many things he wanted to say to them.

"Usagi."

"Yeah?"

"Are you going to speak with your old friends too? From the tournament?"

She didn't answer immediately. She made odd faces but she didn't answer.

He understood.

He did hope she would one day. Despite the old bad blood, he did think her old gang would get along well with Star and Marco. They were good kids.

Trouble makers? There was no doubt.

But good.

-----GS----

Izuku slept that night. Maybe not peacefully but he slept.

But inside his quirk, One For All, more discussions were going on.

In the mental projection of the quirk, or even the soul room if you wish to call it, there was a stony landscape. Up above was a dark sky with nary a star up there. The only place worth seeing was a stone table depicting All Might's insignia and nine rock-like chairs gathered around it.

In them, the Vestiges of the mighty quirk talked amongst themselves.

"We need a new table. Maybe we oughta just accept it and make it rabbit themed."

The first voice was Daigoro Banjo, the fifth user.

"For the last time, no." The second user, Kudo, rejected the notion with an impatient growl. "There's something more important we need to talk about."

"You finally speaking to the Ki-I mean Midoriya? Can't call em kid anymore."

"No. About All for One. We're finally back here. That means our true battle can resume."

"It already resumed back in Mewni. And things have shifted a lot." Hikage said. "Both sides have had an increase in resources and strength neither would have seen coming.

"But we have the upper hand. Even if he hesitated, Midoriya struck a great blow against Shigaraki. Now we have to make sure he finishes the job."

"We know."

Everyone turned to the sole female member of their group. Nana met Kudo's stare with her own.

"It's gonna take a little time but we'll work to help Midoriya take the plunge. But letting him have his old life for a while will help him focus. Help him remember what he's fighting for."

"Not to mention, make sure he doesn't burn out quicker." En Tayutai said.

"And maybe give him some time to work with the other quirks." Daigoro raised a good point. "Me, Nana, and En when Solaria went bad. But we had to stop really working on it when the War went Bad. They mostly saved his ass with Tomura but more trumps against that decay quirk need to happen."

Magic was the name of the problem. The Vestiges already had a feeling it was crazy strong since it pulled Izuku across time and space and could just do things. And they got a first hand confirmation when the Monster Carver and her Knights fought Izuku. What sucked was that there was no chance for the boy to learn it himself, what with the possible consequences combining it with One for All.

Plus, the fact that the Monsters couldn't use it.

Tomura wasn't so handicapped. Neither him nor his cult.

Kudo huffed but nodded. "Makes sense. He should be far enough to start working with the other quirks. But I vote for Danger Sense to go next."

"Oh?" Said Quirk's original user asked.

"It's extremely useful. With One for All boosting it, we'll get the jump on Tomura should he come sneaking up on us. No offense to En but we shoulda pushed for it over Smokescreen."

The short high collared man waved it off. "None taken. Both are best for evading the enemy."

"Then it's mine after?" Bruce, quirk name Fa Jin and third user, offered.

Everyone mulled this over and figured it may not be a bad idea. Kudo was especially fine with his quirk being on the teaching block last. It seemed he still had reservations on Midoriya even after twenty years. While on a small level they understood but it can be tiresome.

"Also…" The first user, Yoichi, spoke up.

He then pointed, past the table and Midoriya's chair, to something that shouldn't be there.

An elegant door stood in their realm.

It was an ornate door with golden trim lines and was wide enough for two people to walk into. The dominant colors were green and crimson red with yellow door knobs. But it was the imagery on the door that was the eye catcher.

A golden jewel encrusted Butterfly.

"We cannot open it." Yoichi stated.

"It's probably something for Midoriya. Think we should ask him?"

Nana shook her head. "He's busy enough."

Hikage let out a soft chuckle. "Does it seem we have so much going on, we keep having to put it off? Like an eternal keep away."

Bruce nodded. "That's what happens when magic is involved."

All the Vestiges nodded at that.

-----GS------

The Next Day…
UA Academy…

The ride over to the school was pulse pounding.

Izuku's foot was tapping away at the floor even as the city passed him by. He did get to see a couple of old heroes doing daring do so that was a good mood pleaser. The billboards and televisions were thankfully covering Endeavor and his new top five heroes instead of focusing on him. THat was perfectly fine.

"You alright, Midoriya?" asked Toshinori.

"Just. a little uneasy. I should probably say something. Something comforting. Maybe I should smile? But that would be kinda weird since I just got back and maybe seem kinda callous. In fact I think Kacchan might think I'm going crazy and bop me on the head an-"

A hand patted him on the shoulder.

"Breathe Midoriya. One step at a time. Instead of being worried about appearances, just be glad you're among friends again."

Izuku paused and did as his mentor asked. Deep breaths and clear his head. Just focus on the here and now.

The car pulled into UA's gate and went around to the dorms.

It was almost a nostalgic dream. The place hasn't changed in twenty years. And in front of it were people.

So many faces. Some he recognized in an instant.

Others…he would need a little time. But he couldn't mistake the warm feeling in his heart.

The car pulled up. With one last look and nod, Izuku got out of the car first-

"IZZZZUUUKKKUUUUUUU!!!!!"

-and was immediately dogpiled by his old friends.

-------

"We missed ya!"

"Glad to see ya back man! You must have toughed it out by your lonesome!"

"Ribbit. Are you okay?"

"I'm glad that you are with us again in one piece. I know it must have been traumatic and if you ever wish to speak private-"

"I made some muffins. It's not much but a sweet once in awhi-"

"If you need to look at hot chicks, I ca-"

"Not the time Mineta!"

"OK! Ok! Everyone! Calm down!"

Izuku was utterly lost in the sea of voices. Side hugs, friendly pats, and well wishes were practically rained down upon him as he was brought into the building and deposited on the sofa. The noise was deafening but the way everyone moved and tried to get a word in edgewise was just…so warm.

It was one of the happiest sounds he had heard in a long time.

"DEKU!"

And there was that one.

Bakugou stood at the other end of the hall. The blonde was halfway between scowling and making the oddest face to settle on. Beside him, Todoroki waved and said hello to Izuku.

It was odd, seeing him again. Bakugou was only a little taller than him and yet even as they got a little older, he always seemed larger by comparison. The aspect was still there and yet…it was smaller.

Izuku couldn't really describe it.

"Hey Kacchan." He said.

"Bout time you got back! Next time, kick their asses and run."

That's what he's going with…?!

"Got it." Izuku said, with a chuckle.

He's just going along with it?!

It wasn't hard to get a feel on what everyone was thinking.

A girl with earphone-like ears leaned on the couch and asked "But really, you alright Izuku?"

"I'm ok. Really."

"Well if you want some tunes to listen to, just ask. Not all of them feature All Might but they can make ya sing."

Izuku froze. If there was one thing he didn't want to do was sing. Never again.

There's some shuffling going on from the kitchen and suddenly he sees Uraraka being pushed forward by Mina and a taller girl with long black hair. Yaoru or…Yaomomo?

Yaoyorozu! Right.

Uraraka looked frozen stiff as she was brought before him. In her hands was a plate filled with sweets. First and foremost was mochi.

"D-Deku! Here!" She said, presenting it to him. "And welcome home!"

The whole presentation was a little odd but Izuku took the plate all the same. He picked up the mochi first and took a bite. Ah. Strawberry.

"I'm home." He said after a swallow.

Uraraka's smile was the brightest he'd ever seen. It was good to see it again.

----GS------

Bakugou watched Deku from far off. He'd said his piece wanted to get something to drink.

"You're not gonna give him a handshake?" asked Half and Half.

"Hell no."

Bakugou ignored the clambering going on and got himself some juice. He stuck around to see everyone lose their heads at the impromptu welcome party. He wasn't gonna get too close and let loose like them.

Instead he was keeping an eye on Deku.

The reports said that it wasn't the League that captured him. Something about an up and coming group that got lucky with support items to keep him bound. Yeah right.

The blonde could buy it wasn't the League. That dry skinned weirdo woulda paraded Deku on tv if it was him. But an unknown that just caught Deku off guard.

Possible but just too convenient.

He probably wasn't the only one to think that. But for now, they'd have to roll with it. Deku probably won't talk about it if he was asked not to.

So just let it go for now. Bakugou thought as he drank. If anything else happened, he'd just blow it away.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

Back in Mewni…


"Ugghhhh! When is Izuku gonna call us in already?"

Star Butterfly, currently the last Princess-in-name of the Butterfly Kingdom, groaned. She laid back on her bed with a thump, impatience brewing in her body.

Right now, she and her Kingdom were in the process of rebuilding. After the battle that took place between Meteora and the Black Hand, old Butterfly castle took a major beating. They still kicked Shiggy man's butt and sent his group flying! Too bad that they couldn't keep him contained and he escaped.

"More like Toga let him escape…" Star muttered. Her entire visage grew angry yet sad as her mind went to the blonde blood lover.

------

"Wow, Star! You're awesome! You wanna be friends?"

"I used to have a crush but it's been awhile since I've seen him. The other girl that I like misses him too."

"I think you and Marco would be cuter. Or maybe you and Marco and Jackie?"

"Sisters!"

"This Dark Star thing sounds crazy."

"Me and Marco will help you against this Toffee guy. We won't let him hurt you."

"Izuku, Baby! It is you!"

"Sorry Star. I hope I see you again."

------

The Princess almost grabbed her wand and zapped a wall. Very nearly blasted a wall through the already decimated castle. With a growl and teeth grind, she held herself back and just threw a pillow at the wall.

She pulled her knees up to her chin and sulked.

"Stupid Toga…"

Even if she did betray her and bring Shigaraki to her home, Star couldn't help but miss her. She didn't understand why she did all that. If she was gonna destroy everything, why bother befriending Star?

Why be close as sisters when she would steal her blood and fake being her?

Why share secrets that even Star knew were the juicy girly kind that boys were never meant to know?

Why was…why was Toga Himiko so genuine despite being a villain?

"Oh the heck with this! I'm not getting ice cream depressed right now!" She sat up with aplomb and marched to her door. "I'll just go see how everyone's doing."

She left her room in search of someone. Of course, her legs took her right to the medical wing.

"Heheheehe. Oh River!"

Star blanched at the giggling coming from the private room used by her parents. She quickly banged on the door. "Mom! Dad! Please be decent!"

"Star? Come in, Daughter!" Said her father.

Hesitantly, she opened the chamber door and…immediately sighed in relief.

Inside, her Father, River, was tending to her bedridden Mom, Queen Moon. It was kinda cool of him despite the bandages she could see under his shirt.

He was at least in better shape than Moon and her broken foot.

"Oh thank goodness." Star went over and gave both parents quick but crushing hugs. "How are you doing, Mom?"

"River is taking care of me, Star. Other than that, I'm using my time adequately delegating duties to the court and Knights. If we keep this up, we should have much of it repaired in a matter of weeks."

"Shouldn't I just…ya know?" Star wiggled the wand for emphasis. "Actually shouldn't I fix your leg?"

"No dear.."

"Why not?"

-------

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!! My leg! It's fixing itself but it hurts!!!!!"

"Oops." A younger Star says as she watches.

-----

"...We prefer that a skilled physician mage handle it." Both parents said.

Moon coughed. "Anyway, you should only help if help is needed, Star. Right now, we need things to keep everyone busy."

"No quick fixes here, Starling." Her Dad pulled her close and pointed to the window. Out there, she could hear the sounds of hammer on nails and wood, foreman shouting orders on where things go, and so much more. "Everyone wants to pull their weight and get things to do, even if the option of Magic is there. Let them have this."

The Mewni castle would heal but slowly and hopefully for the better.

"Ok." Star thought she got it. Maybe. "So besides doin couple stuff and Castle stuff, ya need me for anything?"

"Only to keep an ear out for your friend Usagi. She's our direct link to the Rabbits and Izuku."

Star frowned. "So I'm still doing nothing."

The parents shared a look. Moon asked, "Perhaps a perimeter sweep?"

"I guess…you two gonna be okay?"

"Our Knights have swords for a reason sweetie. Speaking of, why not take your personal Knight?" The blue haired Ex-Queen smirked. "Make a date of it?"

Thoughts of having fun with Marco did pop up and yeah. It sounded great.

"Ok! But no funny stuff you two!!" She called out as she dashed out of the room.

She knew they were going to be up to kissy stuff once she was far enough. Parents.

Now to find Marco…

----RGS----

She had to ask around for Marco but thankfully Higgs the Squire pointed her to the right place.

Heading to another medical wing of the castle, recently made thanks to the Earthlings like Marco and Izuku's influence, Star walked to a far corner of the wing. This room was sectioned off for magical and security reasons, with guards posted at different times. Star waved to the recent set and went inside, quietly.

Inside was a single bed with one injured person. Marco Diaz, her boyfriend and best guy friend, was sitting by the patient's side, holding her hand. He turned around just as the door opened.

"Hey Star."

"Hey. How is she?"

"Just went to sleep. We talked a bit."

They both looked at Hekapoo.

One of the former Magical High Council like Rhombulus, Omnitraxus, and Lekmet, and creator of the dimensional scissors. She was a friend and confidante to Marco but someone that Star knew of vaguely. Unfortunately recent events have made things complicated.

The Green Scar and hiding Meteora thing.

Even if they said it was for the stability of the Butterfly kingdom, the fact remained they separated a mother from her child and were planning to keep Eclipsa crystalized till the end of time. Star hadn't really thought much of it before all this but now…

Well some of those bad guys were bad guys but Izuku and Eclipsa and Globgor had to be looked over and set free.

The fact that only Rhombulus felt the most bad about it, which was only a little, didn't help.

When the tournament of the Rabbits and the Butterfly Throne problems reached a pitch, the three council members and Glossaryck had a plan to do something. But then the Black Hand and Shigaraki attacked.

Star could only stare at the empty space that used to be Hekapoo's right arm. Now it was just a stump. There was other battle damage to be sure but the stump was an eye catcher. And the cracked skin on the left side of her face.

She looked like a doll that was breaking apart.

"What is it, Princess?" The supposed to be sleeping woman suddenly asked.

"Yikes!"

"Heka, you gotta stop that." Marco scolded.

"Gotta get some kicks, Diaz. Not like I'm going to be moving anytime soon." She smirked for a moment before it fell away. She sighed. "Man, I miss Lekmet."

"Can't the local healers help?" Marco asked. "Don't you guys have a Grand Cleric like in DnD?"

"Lekmet." Star and Hekapoo replied.

"Oh…well that's bad."

"I mean, we've got other healers."

"None of which are that good. I'll heal myself." She tried to sit up but groaned and fell back. "Ok, no good sitting up. I'll just lie here. Dead to the world."

"Don't talk like that." Marco tried to take her hand again but she waved him off. "Are you hungry at least? Need me to fluff the pillow?"

"Knock it off, Diaz. Yer girlfriend's right here."

"And you're still my friend. I wanna make sure you're ok. Are you?"

Star's heart melted at the Safe kid's words. Good ol Marco. Not even Hekapoo's icy heart couldn't shut him out.

"Pfft. I'll be fine." She even turned away as she pouted. "Just go check on Omnitraxtus or something."

"We can't. He's shut himself in his room and made Rhombulus seal the door." Star looked pensive. "Can he heal himself if we just…let him stay in his room?"

Hekapoo hummed. "I guess. You should check on him a lot though or else he'll just be stuck looking at his au vision or worse."

"Like what?"

----------

"Ahhh, true love." Omnitraxus smirked as he sipped on lemonade while he watched the various ways people he knew tripped in and out of love. Especially Hekapoo. Poor girl was made to be a blushing damsel.

----------

"I dunno. Terrible stuff maybe. Now how about taking the safe kid and make the town idiot proof. Imma sleep."

"Let me fluff the pillow." Marco didn't even wait as he did just that.

"Alright, we'll leave ya alone. Just rest and get healed up." Star grabbed Marco's hand and began leading him out.

"Yeah, can't wait to have my court day." was Hekapoo's last parting shot.

"What?" Marco halted at the door.

"Diaz, it's obvious what I was about to do. Attacking royals and sabotaging the Rabbits. Me and the gang are out of a job. We'd be in jail or something if Handyman didn't serve us our butts."

She turned away again.

"Now Glossaryck's gone for good and we're looking at jail. It's better if you leave this nonsense behind, Diaz."

The two teens didn't have a rebuttal. Even if Marco wanted to give one, Star…didn't. She just took him by the hand and left the former Councilor to her thoughts.

Just as they left the building, Marco was immediately hounded by a dragon/motorcycle hybrid. His dragon/motorcycle hybrid.

"Hey Nachos." He patted her on the head and rubbed her chin.

"Maybe we should take her with us." Star asked. "It would get us going faster."

The dragon itself seemed to like the idea. Though she did let her gaze linger on the tent where Hekapoo was. Even a Dragon-cycle had some melancholy over the lady that took care of her when Marco couldn't.

"You ok with that, girl?" Marco asked.

She snorted and revved her engine. That was a yes.

The two heroes of Mewni hopped on and with a strong roar, they sped off to make a survey of the land. Even with some baggage that needed to be addressed, Heroes still had work to do.

----RGS-------

Back in Heroside Japan….


Never in the last decade would these people thought they would be meeting for such ludicrous reasons. While superpowers and the Shadow King All For One tore the world apart, there was still some undercurrent of understanding going on.

People got powers.
One lone Nut takes over.
A Hero comes in and saves the day.

This group, The Hero Public Safety Commission, got breathing room to get back stability thanks to All Might. The Quirk legislation was working. The Criminal rates were down. And there was a rush of income in Superhero marketing and merch. Things looked good.

Then All for One came back and All Might retired.

And to completely blind side them, Magic was now part of the equation. Not just on their side but on the Demon King's protege, Tomura Shigaraki's, side. He was already dangerous thanks to his growth since his master's detainment but now…

"We really are in a comicbook world." Mumbled one of the seated members. A blond man with a severe expression. For the sake of brevity, his name was Pako. "Who would have thought one of the UA kids would become such a liability?"

"Just stop thinking like that. This was a fluke. A random act. What matters is how we deal with the impact." said another member with glasses.

"Let's just be happy that he's open to cooperation. He's not forgotten the authorities and rules despite being away. Especially with the favor he asked for."

"A single relocation and ID is a small price to pay." The President of the somewhat clandestine group nodded. She asked, "And we do have people watching her, correct?"

Pako pulled out a folder with the words "Person of Interest" on it. Inside was a dossier and a picture of a short heteromorphic rabbit woman, at least by their definition.

Big round orange eyes with red rings. A rounded head with an almost plushy looking body. Her fur was white but a close inspection made the white coating look more pointy than normal. Her clothing was just a gray shirt and long black skirt.

Overall, despite the intense frown, she looked cute.

Bloody the Rabbit.
One of two living biological daughters of Izuku Midoriya. There was a lot more going on there but the young man was tight lipped aside from what he asked for. The Committee wanted those secrets but they needed a steady relationship with the so-called Green Scar right now.

"And the other daughter?" asked Pako.

"MIA. Midoriya claims he hasn't seen her since his confrontation with Shigaraki. We do know her name is Eclipsa Butterfly."

So a minor problem at this time. And they don't have a picture for identification.

Well they can acquire one later.

"Well, the eggs in our basket are accounted for at least. We'll be notifying the top ten heroes tomorrow, right?" Pako noted and got nods. "What about the rest?"

"The fewer to know until we have a better understanding, the better. Midoriya and his grandchild's testimony will be enough, even if we are already bringing what we can on Shigaraki's location. Plus, since Midoriya has only recently returned, we can use that as an excuse to get more information and a better profile."

"Should we send a representative to the Kingdom itself?" asked one of the younger members.

"We'll table that. Since everyone is in agreement on our mutual problem, we'll keep things to that. Though more lucrative partnerships aren't off the table."

"Since Midoriya greased the wheels by giving the Rabbits a lot of heroes to cheer on, it shouldn't be too hard."

"Yeah. We could even use Miruko."

Everyone froze. What would Miruko do with knowledge of a Magic kingdom of rabbit people?

"...Let's not get ahead of ourselves." Everyone agreed.

Rabbit Queen Miruko was just silly. There was no way.

"Back to the League. What's the word on that teleporting accomplice, Kurogiri?"

The deliberation would last a little longer but the members left it a little sure of the situation but still antsy. They had to get things contained before Shigaraki had a chance to regroup with his new power base. Or even worse, that giant being that eluded them the last time.

And unfortunately, they weren't the only ones that believed this.

The youngest member at the meeting settled into his home office. Once he was sure that the room was secured, it brought out a secret radio. It only went to one signal and could easily be discarded if needed.

With a flick of the switch, he waited for a reply.

"This is Home, over."

"Cuckoo egg, here. Updating the Disappearance of Izuku Midoriya case, over."

"DIM-Two dash seventeen. Switching to Skeptic."

The mole twitched in glee. He didn't think he'd have a chance to speak to the leader. It'd been ten years since they'd communicated. While he never doubted his contributions to the movement, not touching base directly felt lonely. He especially wished he was working under Curious once more.

Another static ring came around and the strong voice he missed picked up.

"Make it fast, Cuckoo. I have more important information to file."

Unbidden, the codenamed Cuckoo raised his left hand and made an L shape with his thumb and forefinger. He placed it right on his forehead. The symbol of their resolve to change the world.

To make it better. More liberating.

"Yes, Sir."

Long live the Paranormal Liberation Front.
Long live Redestro.

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

And that's the beginning over and done.

Next time evil starts to move. Shiggy-Diggy resumes his quest to be Demon King before dumb sidequests get in his way. Like some liberation front or something.

And we will see that in August.

Till then.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

He looked upon his work.


Miles upon miles of broken buildings. It didn't matter how big or how small, before him they became nothing but garbage and dust. And in his wake, it wasn't just the inanimate that fell.


Bodies were scattered amongst the wreckage. Some were lucky to keep their bodies.


Others were left as just a shoe or a hand.


Tomura Shigaraki did all this.


He'd laid all that was to waste. And he wasn't even the least bit done. There were other worlds out there.


So many places to break and break and break.


Sure he'd leave something for his allies but he was still gonna go full in on this plan.


"..hehe. Hahaahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA!" He laughed as the possibilities of what to reach for next flooded in his head. Nothing was beyond him.


With these Black hands, all shall die!!!


…But…


"Waaaaaahhh…"


The cry of a child. It was coming from behind him.


"...why does it…"


He couldn't finish the words. All he could do was feel the creeping sensation working through his stomach and into his heart. It was fear. That's what it had to be.


But what was Tomura afraid of?


"Waaaaaa…"


He turned around. There were people there. They made the unpleasant feeling worse. Something about them was familiar.


A memory he should recall but didn't want to.


"Waaa…"


Tomura turned away from them. Where was that crying come from?


Who was it coming from?

Who?!


He wanted to go forward but suddenly!


A hand stopped him. A powerful hand that he couldn't find the strength to oppose it. This aura reminded him too much of that guy!


It was too strong!

Too fast!


It turned him around an


Eyes.

Green eyes.

Green lightning.


It was him! That damn kid had grown up to be a Bigger Pain than All Might!!


Izuku Midoriya!

The Green Scar!!


--------


"Ugh!"


"Owww! My aaaaaaaarm!"


Tomura woke up with a groan and feeling like crap. He'd felt pain like this before. Like when he first invaded UA.


"Crap." He rasped.


"My lord! You're awake!"


"The Lord is awake!"


"Praise the Black hand."


Black what? Shigaraki opened his eyes and sat up. In front of him were three rows of black hooded weirdos with hands on their faces.


It took a moment but his memory kicked in.


"Right. The Black Hand. Midoriya and Mewni. I remember now." He then looked at the writhing cult member kneeling as well despite the loss of his arm. "Sorry, Boggle."


"It is fine, my lord. It was my fault for not being quicker. It will never happen again." The oddly mohawked cultist groveled.


"Yeah, yeah." He then took in his surroundings. Just a weird black area. "Where are we?"


"Master." An adult woman in the second row spoke up. She didn't remove the hood but did take off the dark hand covering her face. Rivamarina was her name and her red skin and devilish horns placed her as part of the Demon tribe. "We are in a dark disguise mold meant to hide our presence. We erected it for you and your Lieutenants for safety from the Mighty Giant outside and that menace, Mina."


"Nice. So we did make it back to Earth. Where's the League and what's our time?"


"They went to retrieve supplies. That was an hour ago. We've been on this world for nearly a week."


"A wee-"


He lurched and laid back down, his body exploding in constricting parts of pain.


"Holy…crap…" He rasped as he got himself under control. "I'm still aching from that fight? Where's the damn healer?"


Wordlessly, she pointed to Boggle.


The cult Leader wordlessly watched the human mage work on staunching his new stump.


"Well…crap."


"Not to worry, Milord. Once I Get my hand back, I'll get you back on your feet!"


"Why not now?"


"Both hands help me heal faster."


Well that made sense.


Tomura groaned but let it go. A little more rest shouldn't be a big deal. "Alright, call the rest of the fingers."


The cultists flinched. Tomura raised a brow.


"I'm sorry Master but we cannot." Rivamarina bowed down, head and knees on the ground. The rest joined her.


"Why not?"


"The rest of the Black Hand cult has been separated from us. We only managed to make it here thanks to Lady Toga's odd artifact. We…we don't have enough power to reactivate it or call in the others."


And there was the anger.


Along with the rest of memory before he got beat up.


Those Magic constructs that freak Glossaryck made put up a hard fight. Like Hidden Boss with extra difficulty.


Tomura had been on the way to get the royals and crush them while Midoriya was getting his butt kicked by Mina Loveberry. He'd nearly gotten them if not for the Galaxy monster, Horn girl, and Glass Idiot.


Both the girl and the Galaxy thing had fallen to him. She had clones that swarmed Twice but they were just cannon fodder that were just dust.


The Galaxy Bone Man was rougher since he just seemed to know things. Sucks for him that he didn't think much of the Blackhands. A touch of surprise and Tomura broke his mask.


But that idiot with the crystal powers would not stay down! And Shigaraki had a harder time destroying the crystals too!


The next time he got back to Mewni, that idiot dies first.


So profound and concentrated in his hate, that he needed a moment to calm down. His cult merely shivered in delight and fear of his power. That was kinda weird but Tomura just rolled with it.


Everyone from that magical dimension was a weirdo. Why else would that Midoriya kid wind up an old King of Monsters?


"Alright." He let out a long sigh and decided to move on. "How many of us got here?"


"Just us twelve and your Lieutenants."


"Any of the heavy hitters? Cornuf? Jerajoff? Ina?"


"Unfortunately no, Milord." Rivamarina gestured to the group. "Many of us were mere foot soldiers. So it's just us."


Well crap. He got hit with the Kingdom Hearts Reset.


---RGS-----


The rest of the League arrived in due time. Except for Dabi, who had returned to his previous assignment of recruitment with gusto.


Luckily, Gigantomachia was on his nap so they didn't have to worry about him right now.


"It's about time Shigaraki! A leader has no time to nap! That's for the weak." Mina said when she met up with the group.


"Not everyone is a freak like you Mina."


"No excuses! Anyway, now that you're up, we can get a real war council up. We need to get back to Mewni and reclaim it from the Rabbit and his false kingdom!"


She yelled all this while chowing down on a bowl of rice. The others had brought food from their latest run. They even brought sushi. Tomura himself was putting away bowls upon bowls. Turns out being knocked out for days did a number on your stomach.


"But big Sis we really can't get back. The magic thing is broken." Toga announced with a raised hand.


"What?! How'd that happen?"


"I dunno. It kinda crumbled after I used it. Can you fix it?"


"What do you take me for, Princess Toga?! A genius?"


Well at least she knows some of her limits. Everyone but Toga thought.


But it did show they had a major problem. Without a means to return to Mewni or even Villa Evola, they were cut off from the majority of the Black hands.


"BWAAAP!"


Everyone eyed Twice.


"That's gross! I love this ringtone." The masked schizophrenic said as he pulled out his phone.


An energetic voice spoke, "Good to see you finally awake, Tomura Shigaraki."


"Doctor." He said after a swallow. "Is that bargain still up? I tame the Mountain man and you give me power?"


"But of course, Young man. You, yourself, have certainly never said you've given up on your ambitions. You've even managed to become a dangerous man without my or the Master's watchful eye!"


"The Grind was annoying but a cult's a neat addition. Woulda had that Mewni castle by now if it weren't for Midoriya and his kids. Your Kingdom's defenses suck, Mina."


"Lies! We've survived the worse. Like those Septarians." Mina said, eyeing the one reptile member of the group. He chose to ignore her.


"So we wrestle the big guy and try to win. What then? Let's go on vacation to America!" Twice asked then stated. "Not sure I wanna mess with magic. Is Toga still a magical princess?"


"Wait." Spinner interrupted, holding his chopsticks weirdly. "Didn't you have magic when you used that Star girl's blood? Maybe there's like…magic radiation or something I dunno. Maybe you have some more in the gas tank?"


"Hmmmm." Toga paused and was thinking this over. Her silence attracted everyone's attention. "I don't think so. I needed the wand to bring you guys here."


"Which didn't really work out." Compress interrupted. "While myself and Twice got lost in lands adjacent to Mewni, Spinner was the only one to actually make it to Mewni. Not even our illustrious leader got that far."


"Sorry Tomura."


"Meh."


Rivanmaria also added. "And we merely have the spells acquitted to us. Dimensional travel has been a domain long held by Hekapoo and her scissors."


"So we're screwed. Yup, we're stuck back home!"


"We aren't." Shigaraki dropped his last bowl and stood up.


"We can't go back ourselves but we've got another way back. Midoriya." Tomura got up and stretched. The days of not moving left him feeling out of shape. "The news sites already confirmed he's back and he wouldn't have been able to get here without scissors. And there's no way that guy's just gonna up and leave those rabbits behind. Not just because he's a hero but because of the guilt."


"That does sound like the guy Stain vouched for." Spinner nodded. "And he's no doubt told the rest of the heroes about us."


"Nothing to be done about it. Even if they know where we've been, not even Midoriya knows that much about these guys," he pointed at the Black Hand, "or Gigantomachia. If we time this right, then we can make a real mess of this stupid country. Then Toga can take the scissors from him."


"Yay! I'll get to see Izuku soon!"


"Oh yeah! That traitor must have stolen some scissors from Hekapoo! Let's go rob that monster!" Mina was already on her feet and ready to take off.


"Not yet." Tomura said. "Not until we finish here first. I've left this old stage hanging for years."


"So what?! You deal with the Big man! I take care of the Rabbit! It's as easy as corn pot pie!"


However, before she could get into the groove, Tomura lightly grabbed her. "I said wait."


Whoosh!


Mina effortlessly swiped at Tomura's hand. "We can't wait! You give the Rabbit a moment to rev up his legs and he's already kicked you into the air! Or the Next dimension! Or Worse! We can't let him rest! We have to take him down!"


"Ms. Min-"


She didn't even acknowledge Compress. She was already in her Solarian Knight form, pumping her legs to run or vault jump away!


"Grab her!" Spinner, Twice, and a few cultists dogpiled on the purple haired woman.


"RAAAAHHH!" Unfortunately it wasn't enough to actually stop her. Magical enhancements were a lot more weight than six medium people.


"Don't get in my way, Troops! I'll save us from the Rabbit! I'll avenge Solaria! I'll-"


"Hey Mina!"


The hulking magical warrior paused. She looked down to see long blond hair and the rosy star cheeks that could only come from Mewni Royalty. And the last person to have those was…


"Princess Star?"


"Yup! I came to see ya Mina! Come on, let's go save the Kingdom!"


"Well of course!" Warmth blossomed in the woman's chest. The sense of belonging and fighting alongside a member of Butterfly royal blood. She missed it so much.


She missed the smile of pride that her queen would bestow her. She even missed it when Solaria and Izuku her sworn Knights took to the roads and fields and mountains to fight the good fight.


She wanted that again.


She needed it.


Maybe that's why Star was here! Why else would a sworn sister be doing in this odd place but recruiting for the next battle! And with the wand backing them, it'll be just like the Sun crusades!


Mina would show the Rabbit! She'd correct the mistake of letting him li-

Poof.

"And that's that." Compress said, holding the tiny marble that housed the berserk magical warrior. "Good to know my quirk still works on her."

"My lord, should we not get rid of her?" Asked one of the Black Hands.

Shigaraki shook his head. "She'll be useful later. Just keep her on hand. We already got one rampaging beast to worry about." He then noted Toga was staring at her hands, still looking like Star Butterfly. "Toga?"

"Just thinking." She touched her fingertips together. Almost like she was trying to understand something.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake.

"Looks like we're back to it." Tomura stood up. Break time was over and Gigantomachia was waking up. "Alright I'm in front. Dabi, Rivamarina, Gobbo, we're going in."

Dabi scoffed but got up. "I could use some exercise. This time I'm burning his ear off."

"We await your command my lord!" the cloaked woman yelled.

Gobbo didn't talk but clapped his hands and began conjuring a spell.

Right on time as Gigantomachia launched himself at the group. They evaded it as best they could while Shigaraki moved double time to start the sponge boss battle again. He kept trying to hit the brute to bring him to heel but the guy was stupidly as fast as he was heavy.

Shigaraki didn't want to dust him since that would be the loss of a great pawn his master left him. So he had to rely on his allies and some well placed traps and surprises the dry skinned man had in store.

Yes. Just think about this. Focus on staying alive and dropping his HP.

This was what he needed. Not unanswered questions or vague dreams. Only working towards his ambitions.


Next time, Midoriya. Next time.

Spoiler: Author's Note

New arc begins. Can't wait to get some action in this time.

Focusing on Izuku and Tomura's gonna be tricky. I had the mind to show one more thing but the focus on Shiggy Diggy kept me busy and I liked where the focus is.

H Honestly Mina gave me a bit of trouble on what to do with her. But once the unseen battle began to form in my hand, the incensed and even more unbalanced Mina started to form. Plus she's not a friend of the LoV or Blackhands. Just a wildcard that got snatched in the LoV escape. Only Toga kinda likes her since she met her with Star.

She can still be useful tho. We'll see her later.

Stay tuned.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

Almost Two months ago...

"Well folks, we've had an amazing tourney this year! Not only has the Princess of the Miyamoto's risen to the semi-final rounds but the old Foot Gang are all here too! Not just Hopper the Breaker, but Jab Jab Julie and Baxter Boom!"

The crowd roared in approval.

Even from her seat in the break room, a small part of Usagi was churning with uncertainty. Her gang was all here. Despite her not being around, they kept themselves tough and managed to compete in the Royal Cup. If they had ever made a promise to compete together and against each other, then this was the moment it was kept.

It should have been a happy moment.

But…things change.

Usagi affixed some bandages on her knuckles and feet. The last couple of matches made her work up a sweat, not unlike the fisticuffs she had with Star. Her last opponent, Oblert the Oswald Understudy, was a vicious dude with rapid punches. The moment she got within range, bam! Like fifty punches a second.

But his steps were the worst. Usagi had to keep low and break his stance to overtake him.

It was rather easy.

That said, Oblert was a good sport about it. He'd make a good knight.

"Now will the Fighters please come to the stage?" The Announcer called out amidst the crowds cheering.

Usagi finished up her preparations and left the room. Halfway through, however, she had a visitor.

"Julie." She called out.

"Usa."

Jab Jab Julie, or Julie for short, was the big sister Usagi never had. A long while back, the blonde styled bunny went exploring on her own and managed to win a pair of dimensional scissors. With them, she took the young princess on wild adventures through the dimensions. It broadened Usagi's horizons and helped form their gang.

Too bad it also led to the trouble that saw her separated from her old friends and winding up on earth.

That broadened Usagi's mind further and now the animosity she used to share with Hopper, Baxter, and Julie was gone.

There were more to the Butterflies than just being the magical opposite of the Rabbits.

They had their issues and they were idiots.
And the Rabbits could just be as dumb.

Super Grandpa Izuku assured her of that.

Anyway, Usagi didn't want that old hatred to gain another foothold in her home. Things were only gonna get better when she beat the stuffing out of it and replaced it with something…well nicer.

She didn't know what but she had to find out.

Even if it meant going through her friends.

"You're really going through with this." It wasn't a question Julie asked. In the background, the announcer was giving them the go ahead to fight.

"Yep."

"...Alright then." Julie pumped her fists and bent her knees.

Usagi cracked her knuckles and put up her fists.

"..."

"..."

The bell rang and they attacked.

-----GSRT--------

Izuku watched it all from his spot in the back row. The blue cloak that he'd been given was good enough to hide him from prying eyes along with his old mask. Nary a person gave him a second look.

But that was probably because they were so enamored with the tournament.

Usagi's really giving it her all. He watched his great granddaughter bob and weave around the ring. Her smallish stature afforded her a lot of room to manuever and many chances to try for powerful lunges.

And yet Jab Jab Julie was working to keep up and grab her. She did it once and managed to put a good three jabs to the white rabbit's stomach. The blonde cowboy-like hare was far more sturdy than her tall frame gave her credit for.

But as the round started to draw to an end, Izuku narrowed his eyes. Usagi was hesitating.

She's going easy on her. Don't keep that up Usagi.

----GSRT---

Dodge. Dodge. Attack.

Repeat and close in.

The fight has gone on for minutes. Each one giving ground to take a major strike. A few groans from the audience had come up but the sheer speed of both participants had kept the excitement going.

All the way up to the end of the fight.

"Is that all?!" Julie joked as she stood with her hands on her hips. There were bruises all over her and she was tired.

Usagi was about the same but she was taking a knee. It was helping her take stress off her body but it was gonna be a pain when she got back up.

"Not even close." Usagi replied.

"Well I'm done playing." Julie pumped her fists and tapped her foot. With a big pull back, she surged toward Usagi with a left hook! "Come on!"

Usagi…ran forward into the fist!

"!"

The audience held their breath. Who just runs into a punch?

It was all over.

"Kiyah!"

Usagi pivoted into a spin, dodging the punch and sliding right up to the older bunny. Now with her back on Julie's front, Usagi grabbed her arm with both hands.

Summoning all her speed, she jumped to the edge of the ring and…

SLAM!

…threw her out of the ring!

"Out of bounds!?" The announcer screamed. "Wow! I didn't see that coming! You've seen it here! The princess has thrown Jab Jab Julie out of her ring! She advances to the next round!"

Usagi dropped to her knees and took many breaths. As expected, the fight was a tough one. And yet…

"You didn't really try." She said.

Julie shrugged. 'I just wanted to see if you got any better."

"In the Royal cup?"

"This mattered to you so you gave it your all." She got up and dusted herself off. "I'm a drifter and I've got scissors. This place doesn't really matter to me. It's Hopper you have to really bring it with."

Usagi had a feeling about that.

Just as Julie walked off to leave the area, Usagi called out to her.

"Jules! Maybe…maybe we can hang later?"

It was a long shot. Usagi more or less left them behind when she got mixed up with Earth. But that didn't mean she was done with them or wanted them to stay gone. What was wrong with more friends?

Heck, they'd probably even like Janna.

Julie didn't stop or turn around making the rabbit princess deflate.

"I'll be around. If you wanna hang, we'll hang."

Usagi perked up. She had a moment to see Julie wave before the blonde left the area with her scissors. Hope blossomed in her chest.

Maybe she hadn't lost them all. She just needed to meet with Baxter and Hopper.

Usagi can do this.

She can.

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

There's two more parts here.

And while Usagi and Julie may be on Ok grounds, its not gonna be so for the next parts.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

"Alright gang! We're going out on an adventure!" Star yelled as she stood tall with her gathered group of besties. And her bestie's great grandfather… maybe her granddad too?

Star didn't know. Everyone was trying to get the facts straight about the Festivia thing.

"Uhm, why am I here?" Izuku, the Green Scar, asked. He was looking a lot better after a clean up and healing of those pretty dang bad wounds from before his crystallization. While Lekmet kept him from leaving the mortal coil, his battered body needed more help. Seriously, the Solaria vs Green Scar battle must have been nuts.

Star and the others still winced in sympathy the one or two times they saw the scar.

"Because it's my time to look after you, Super Great Grampa. We gotta get you back into fighting shape." Usagi said, giving the older man a friendly back pat.

"Within reason." Marco corrected. "We're at least going around the area and to a couple of different dimensions. We can't forget the other reason we're gonna be up and about."

Izuku blinked in confusion.

"Himiko."

"Oh." It clicked for him then. "Are you sure about using me as bait though? I'm kinda old now." He even poked at the small belly he had been growing for the past couple of weeks.

"Don't underestimate a young girl in love, Izuku!" Star dramatically rebutted with a pointed finger. "Even the loss of abs could mean nothing to us."

"I'm not included." Usagi added.

"Trust me on this. Plus I know Toga." Star's smile dimmed at those words. "Well I thought I did but what I do know is what she's into. It would explain that weird look she had when we visited Rhombulus's place last time."

Unbidden, an image of Himiko Toga staring at Izuku's crystal prison came to their minds. However, the image was stuck between a shoujo-esque picture of a young maiden looking at her imprisoned princes, forlornly unable to help him.

Before it changed to a scene of a feral Himiko hanging off Izuku's crystal and trying to munch on it to get him out.

Everyone turned to look at Star.

"What? It's what I would have done before blasting magic at it."

"That's not reassuring." Izuku said.

----RGS------

They traveled across Mewni first. It was the easiest task and something to help get Marco experience about the area. And yet somehow the smell of corn never really went away.

They went past Butterfly castle and the Rabbit Kingdom. Off to the further regions where other monster clans hail.

The Septarians were…off bounds at this time.

But they still had friends from all over they could talk to.

----

"Welcome to my swamp, Star girl and friends. And thank you for entertaining my little ones. It is time for exercise!" Buff Frog laughed as his many children began hopping around to play with the visitors.

Marco and Usagi had an easier time getting the kids to play around but stay close to avoid getting lost. Usagi had them hopping along with her as they paraded around the house. These little ones had just started sprouting legs and wanted to put them to good use.

Marco was on hand with the littlest ones who were still technically babies and thus had no legs. He kept them grounded and let them bounce all over him. Wasn't long before he was made into a makeshift roller coaster for them to play on.

Star was helping him by being a play pretend airplane.

Izuku, however, was off to the side watching it all. Most of the kids just looked at him in wonder before they went off to play. He was at least glad they weren't afraid of him.

"Why would they be afraid, Green Scar?" Buff frog asked. "You are still a Hero to many a monster. Though my little ones have only been told the tales and probably can't see it's you."

"I'm still human and well…"

"Oh. Is not worrying. While I teach caution to kids, that doesn't mean I teach distrust."

"Even with the walled off kingdom of the Rabbits?"

That was something Izuku wasn't sure how to feel about. While Imperial Japan was something he was worried may still happen with or without him, the ruling class the rabbits had over their neighbors was worrying.

"Mighty kings and queens come and go. Despite differences, we Frogs are alright. Though maybe one day, we may have Queen as well."

"Sounds good. Though have you given any thought of marrying into the Rabbit family?"

The sound of a record skipping.

"Eh?" Buff asked.

"Yes? Marrying into the rabbits? Bring the communities literally together?"

"Really? You wouldn't mind?"

"It's not up to me but no. Where I was originally born, people of different nations can get together and marry. It may have taken a while and probably a lot of legal stuff but it was possible."

"I am...honored but this old frog is too busy with his children. Perhaps another..." Buff frog still looked mystified at the offer. So much so that Izuku felt a little awkward bringing it up.

Why did I bring it up? He would have smacked himself if it didn't look so weird.

"Hey Grampa!"

The two older men saw the teens and kids coming toward them with rambunctious hips and a few flips.

Usagi got in the front and explained, "Me, Star, and Marco are going to do a look around. You mind watching the little guys till we get back?"

That was what they were doing anyway. Izuku took on the role of watcher this time.

And found himself downright ambushed by the little tykes. Not just with them being on him but by their questions.

Because they had so many of them.

"What can you do mister?"
"Can we have some food?"
"Are you really the Green Scab?"
"Show us a trick!"
"Yeah! A trick! A trick!"

"Ok! Ok!" Izuku laughed as he stood up. So many rambunctious faces and overeager kids. It felt like a blast from the past.

"I do have one trick I can show off today. One sec." He then laid down on the ground and made sure his arms were spread out. "Ok, hop on kids."

They didn't need to be told twice.

Izuku twinged a little from all the little hoppers getting on at once but he shook it off. A strong back was needed for a Hero, even if he was an old one…

"You all on?" He asked. They gave affirmatives.

Ok Nana. Let's do this.

I'm not really doing anything Izuku. This is all you. Just go for it. The Vestige replied.

Izuku called on One for All and felt for the Quirk of Nana Shimura. Float was…well floaty. It reminded him of the fuzzy feeling that came over him when Ura..Uraka?

When his old friend used her quirk on him.

A strange disconnect from gravity and the ground and yet it was him controlling how far he could ascend or descend.

And just as he began to rise..

"Whoa!"
"He's Flying!"
"Hang on to his sides! We're leaving the ground!"

Given the tugs on his clothes and the increased joyous screaming, it's safe to say that this idea was a success. He did make sure not to go too high off the ground. Safety was still first.

He also did requests.

Spinning around, though that was a bit harder to do. He now felt more like Uraka after just two spins.

He also tried turning it on and off while doing handstands.

For the next half hour, Izuku and Buff frog entertained the kids until his granddaughter and her friends returned. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and none of the other monsters have had any disappearances of neighbors or friends. The Black Hand was hopefully keeping their operations out of Mewni proper so that they couldn't be caught.

It was a good news, bad news problem. Hopefully the bad they didn't know about wasn't too great.

"Farewell, friends! We shall keep the swamp safe and let you know if Baddies are around!" The father of the little frogs called out as the group set off for their next destination. His kids shouting after the departing heroes of Mewni as well, with hopes that they come to play again.

But what none of them knew was there was another visitor.

Himiko Toga had been asked to see what the current situation was in Mewni. Even with the addition of the Black Hand to the League of Villains, no one else could compete with her stealth. And being that she and Spinner were the ones that spent the most time in Mewni Proper, she was made head scout for the upcoming battle.

She had a thought to find a milk lady or a page in the knight service to swap with so that she could see Star and Marco again. The Rabbit Kingdom was a no go since like other Monsters, their blood felt weird to Himiko.

If only me and Usa could have hung out more. She was so prickly back then despite how cute that can be.

A shame but for now, she let it go.

Her dimensional knife had brought her to swamp lands in the Monster area of Mewni. She remembered Buff Frog lived here. She liked Buff Frog, he was one of the nicer guys that Ludo had. Too bad Ludo listened to Toffee.

Toga had planned to sneak past Buff and move to Mewni but she paused when her friends and her crush showed up.

Even now, she felt that spark of love.

She wanted to see Izuku.
She wanted to drink Izuku.
She wanted to be him.

Though it felt a bit weird since Usa was like his granddaughter. Himiko was sure she could overcome that little hurdle. Time and space brought her to him after all and it gave her so many new friends!

That had to mean something.

As they left the swamp for the next destination, she wanted to follow them. But she had a job to do.

Little Bloody Bunny had told her it would help the plan. She could find Izuku another time.

Tomura's Hand Crush Party came first.

"Aww, I shoulda taken a picture." She grumbled as she made her way to the castle. That still left the matter of who to see first.

Maybe she could find Higgs…

Spoiler: Author's Note

I may come back to this one. I still want it as just a short 1.5k thing but i think a little more reorganizing may be good. To summarize this is post "Izuku is Eclipa's Dad" revelation and his release. Like the small time skip between the end o the Meteora battle and s4.

Next time we have the actual chapter back.

Stay tuned.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

Spoiler: SPOILERED for Length

The Founding of the Rabbits Kingdom
-Rodger the Second was the official King of the Rabbits following the end of the Green Scar. His Mother Vell was Regent and spent most of her days watching the Border with the remaining Honor guard of his Father. Under Rodgers rule, the Rabbit Castle was cultivated. He would pass the Crown to his little Sister Little Grey who would create the Rabbit Stamp, the official word of their laws, was created in due part to lessons given by the Green Scar.
-During his Reign, Eclipsa Butterfly would come into Queenhood and inherit the wand as her Mother passed away and Alphonse the Worthy, her (adopted) Father became sole parent. While suspicious of the other, Eclipsa did offer the hand of peace that Roger accepted.
-Eclipsa and Globgor courted sometime before this and before Solaria and Izuku's final bout. They still courted despite her marriage to Shastacan.

Peace is Pierced and the Death of Vell
-Unknown to everyone, Izuku's battles with the Solaria Knights took a massive toll on Mina's mind. With Solaria no longer around and the assumption the Monsters were gaining influence in Butterfly castle, her delusions became worse.
-Globgor would petition Eclipsa to run away with him. Despite tensions and with some encouraging words from Alphonse, she leaves the Kingdom and elopes with her monster love. Soon after she gives birth to Meteora.
-Incensed by the rejection and knowledge that his family claim to the throne is dead, Shastacan demands a plot. The MHC arrest and Crystalize Eclipsa for crimes against the Crown and taboo and put a different child on the thrown in place of Meteora. What neither he or the Council knows is Mina learning of the plot and fully embraces the narrative of Monsters trying to take over Mewni.
-While Eclipsa is arrested, Mina and two other Solarian Knights would storm to the border of the Rabbits and Butterfly Kingdom and meet Vell, Bouncy, Thumper, and Kiki and Okimi. Alphonse the Worthy would arrive to try to stop all this in vein. In the fight, the children Kiki and Okimi are killed by Mina and the other Solarian before Vell falls taking the the second Knight with her. Bouncy escapes with Thumper while Alphonse mortally keeps Mina at bay until the MHC arrives.

Nothing but Tension in the aftermath
-Little Grey and Roger mourn their Mother and siblings. The Rabbit Kingdom goes into Days of mourning as well. Bouncy undergoes the bloody path to find any sort of magic or skill to make the Butterfly Kingdom pay.
-Globgor, learning of the treachery of Shastacan and the death of the Rabbits Kingdom Mother devours Shastacan and is crystalized as well.
-The MHC, seeing as they have no Magic Queen to count on and the fear that Izuku gave away his secret powers to his descendants, decide to sue for peace and keep the blame solely on Mina. With only Bloody denying it but not being Queen, Little Grey relents and accepts.
-Festivia Butterfly becomes the new Princess of the Moon Kingdom.

More background info on the rabbit kingdom and what happened after Izuku's defeat.

May get revisions in the future.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

"Is he still outside?" Asked Momo.

The girls and a couple of the guys were in the student dorm's living room. With tomorrow being a day off from classes, it was the perfect time to kick back as the summer air turns toward the autumn.

However, there was a small air of uncertainty for these future heroes.

"Yeah. I can see him from here." Ochaco replied. She was by the window and looking outside at a figure of practicing a series of kicks.

It was Izuku.

Despite the sheen of sweat on his brow, his green eyes were fully locked on perfecting his attacks. The green lighting of his Quirk floated around him gave each blow of his feet an edge of power and swiftness that looked like it could compete with Ida.

If that was the only thing, the gawkers wouldn't be looking so hard.

But when Izuku switched it up with a breakdance that had him upside down and still kicking, they couldn't look away.

Mina was bobbing her head along, imagining a beat Midoriya was dancing to as he got down. "Dang that's cool."

"Can you do that Mina?" Jiro asked.

"Probably if I worked at it but the way he's moving is more than I can do." She did smirk a little. "Cool to see Midoriya do something even more awesome with that practice we did."

"Those are some deadly lookin kicks though."

"The karate Man Ojiro."

They turned to see the tail using plain boy who was giving Izuku an analytical look. "I'm not saying he was a bad fighter before but he's gotten a much better stance and more certainty behind his attacks[."

"He's gonna overtake Ida as the leg man." Hagakure commented.

"While my Reciprico does give me good leg power for combat, I am not just a kicker." Ida rebutted with a cross chop.

"But there's something more about it." Tsuyu spoke up from her seat on the couch. "I was near Midoriya today at the training center. He has a serious gleam in his eye."

"Isn't that Normal?"

"It should be but it felt different."

Suddenly Mineta added to this. "It's because he's got deadly kicks now. Did you guys see that huge rock he was practicing on? He can drill a hole with that kinda kick!" Mineta pulled out a picture on his phone for a reference. "See! He did

A few murmurs continued as the rest began to compare the new style their friend was starting to make. However, Ochaco never took her eyes off the boy practicing.

There is something off. She thought. Before he disappeared, his smile was a lot brighter. But now, it's more subdued. Like there's something big weighing on his mind.

And she expected as much. For all his super strength quirk and how heroic he was, he was still kidnapped.

The whole class was distraught when he was officially declared missing. And there was nothing they could do this time. The teachers were out searching and the media was having a field day. It was agonizing after the first week and no word on anyone taking responsibility.

In the back of her head, she was half expecting Himiko Toga to send a letter and picture of a bound and bloody Izuku. It never came and that was a relief and a dreadful picture in itself.

So they waited and waited. It almost felt like the month was dragging on and on and keeping him away.

Then he came back.

And he was different.

The class knew and they didn't know what it was. The worse was assumed and that bandage he wore over chest all but confirmed it.

Was it a scar like the one on his hand?

Izuku had taken to keeping it concealed as much as he could, from what the boys had mentioned. He didn't sound like it was lingering pain so…

"Ugggh." Ochaco let her face lean on the window. This worrying was just sending her around in circles. And again, she can't really be upfront and ask Izuku!

So what should she do?

"Looks like Midoriya's wrapping up." Shouji called out. "Wait, he's on his phone."

Ochaco looked as well. Izuku's concentration broke at the ringing from his phone on his notebook. When he answered it, however, a smile bloomed on his face.

"Must be his mom." She muttered.

He said something and nodded before he put it away.

The door opened and he bade everyone good night.

"Got a date tomorrow, Midoriya?" Called out Kaminari as a joke.

"Not a date but there is somewhere I wanna go to tomorrow. I just got permission from Aizawa to bring Eri along."

Mineta snorted. "So you do have a date."

Ochaco had a thought. Maybe if she…

"Hey, Deku can I come too?" She asked.

"Huh? Oh, sure."

The gravity user thanked him but then had to turn away as she could feel Mina's malicious teasing aura advancing on her.

Suddenly Tsuyu raised her hand. "Can I come too? Ribbit."

"Awww Tsu! You're intruding on the date." Mina hissed as she slumped on the couch.

Izuku seemed to ignore the byplay. "Sure. The more the merrier. Good night."

The other 2A students gave him a goodnight back.

"Well at least, he seems alright." Said Momo.

Everyone, Ochaco included, nodded. And come what may, they'd all be there to make sure he is.

----RGS------

The next day…


"Eri!!"

"Mr. Deku!!"

The little girl ran up and jumped into Izuku's arms. He wrapped her up in a hug and twirled the two around, Eri laughing with each circle. Izuku even gave her small tosses into the air and made sure to catch her each time.

It was so heartwarming. More than old friends meeting it up, it felt…different.

Like a parent seeing their kids after a brief absence? Ocacho thought.

The idea was a little silly but she couldn't help but think about it.

The way Izuku smiled reminded her of her Dad. There was something in his smile when she saw him and her Mom last. She knew they missed her, especially when they surprised her a coupla months back before the dorms.

"Deku looks like a Dad, ribbit." Tsuyu saw it too.

"Yeah."

"It is cute though."

"Yeah." Ochaco was never gonna deny that.

"Alright, you two. Let's get going."Aizawa called to end the cute scene. Izuku apologized with a blush. Just as they were about to clear the grounds, Aizawa paused to mention something.

"Problem child, one more thing before we go."

"Yes, sensei?"

"During our day out, please refrain from directly engaging criminals."

That brought the students up short.

"What, why?"

"There's still some lingering problems regarding your return. For now, everyone would like you to take it easy and stay near a guardian before they put you back in the grinder. Sorry, but please bear with us for now." Aizawa did look apologetic despite his tired stare.

"But what if he's targeted again, Sensei?" Tsuyu asked.

"You two and I will keep an eye on Midoriya. Though you can absolutely use self-defense, the higher ups think you slowly getting back to fighting form would look better."

Ochaco let out a sigh of relief. While she wasn't sure she agreed with putting him on the bench, so to speak, he wasn't gonna be helpless.

"Is something wrong?" Eri asked.

"Nope! Not a thing, Eri. Deku's just gonna take it easy for today so he can show you around. But me and Tsu will be here to keep everyone safe!" The Gravity hero punctuated her words with a fist to the air.

"We're really tough, ribbit." Froppy added.

Eri seemed to buy it but she did give a questioning glance to Deku.

Who had an odd look on his face.

"Deku?" She asked.

His smile was back on. "Hm?"

"Are you ok?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Really! And yeah, I'd trust these two with my life. Things will be fine, Eri." He patted her head.

That was enough. Eri nodded with a "ok" and thus the trusty team was finalized.

The group made their way downtown by bus and the whole time Eri was fussing over Izuku.The boy managed it with a smile and reassurances that he was fine.

Though his mind and memory started to mess with him a little.

Maybe it was the way that Eri looked up at him, all concerned and still shy that did it. In her stead, he started to see them. The first of his kids.

Roger, a rambunctious little guy ready to take on the world.
Little Grey. She reminded him of Eri the most. A small little thing and quiet. She wasn't ready to come out of her shell yet but when she did, she'd probably take after their mother.

Izuku just hoped she didn't get his muttering.

And then there were the others. Thumper was still just a walking and bouncing baby by then and the littlest ones, Kiki and Okimi, barely had their eyes open when he last saw them.

But then there was…

"Deku?" Eri asked.

He blinked and realized he was going too deep in his memories. The others were giving him odd looks as well.

He shook his head and asked her to repeat her question.

"Where are we going?"

"It's a spot a friend of mine manages. I met her a while back and helped her get settled in. She owns a bakery."

"Ooh." The promise of sweets. The downfall of many a kid.

Tsuyu asked, "When did you meet?"

"A few months ago, literally before UA…I think. I told her I'd stop by when she finally got settled. She actually finished while I was…busy so no time like the present."

The girls nodded. "Will there be candy apples," asked the little girl.

"She mostly does cakes and stuff but she does know how to make them."

"I wonder if it'll compete with what Sato makes?" Ochaco wondered.

However the group was then treated to the sound of whispers on the train.

"Isn't that the kid that disappeared?"

"Should he be walking around outside the school? "

"He's got Eraserhead with him. It's fine."

"But didn't Eraserhead lose him in the first place?"

Tsuyu and Ochaco flinched at the words. Some were mystified and others were harmful. They wanted to speak up about it but knew it would only make a scene and ruin the day out. Aizawa at least was treating it as background noise and seemed to be relaxing.

Izuku, on the other hand, was keeping Eri entertained. It didn't look like she heard the words but Izuku definitely did. And it looked like he didn't care.

This was just something that happened in the world of Pros. Words of praise and words of condemnation. You had to have tough skin to deal with it.

The two girls shared a commiserating nod and vowed to do their part as well.

-----

"It's very cute." Tsuyu commented. Ochaco agreed.

The shop was a little ways toward the east end of the city. It was a ten minute walk but they managed to see the little home slash shop easily enough. It was a two floor cozy place colored earth wood brown with orange highlights on the windows. Right on the top was a picture with three circular images.

One was a cake.
One was a cookie.
And right in the middle was a bunny.

It was called Lil Bunny Hop Sweets.

It had Eri's vote considering the sparkles in her eyes.

"Don't expect too many sweets, Eri. You'll spoil your dinner." Izuku suddenly said.

"What Midoriya said." Aizawa added.

Eri's look of betrayal was epic.

Just as they were about to go into the store, a shout came from up high.

"Hey Izuku!!"

Quick as a whip, Izuku brought his hand up. Everyone was treated to a small girl hopping out of the second floor window and attempting to land on him. He caught her fist in his hand and held her up easily.

The girl was a white rabbit about as tall as Tsuyu with a cocky smirk on her face with light tomboy clothing.

"Heh heh. Not bad, Old man." She said before she got off his hand and landed on her feet.

"Hi Usagi."

"Sup! Table for five?"

"Yes please."

"Got it." She then went into the shop. "Hey Auntie! We've got special customers!"

Ochaco blinked. "That was random."

Izuku blushed in apology before he ushered everyone in.

The restaurant was incredibly comfy looking. Thanks to the abundance of brown and reds, it looked closer to a diner out of a movie. There were five benches in case people wanted in house seating and about five stools at the front counter. A display case showing off a few cake slices and other sweets was also available.

"Usagi, try to be a bit quieter in the store." A direct woman's voice said at the front desk. "Good day to you all, call me Bouncy Miyamoto."

She stepped off her chair behind the cash register and stood before everyone.

Much like Usagi, she was a short white rabbit. However, she was even shorter than Usagi by an inch or two but she was able to look down on Eri. Whereas Usagi's light blue orbs carried a playful edge to them, the other Miyamoto's orange red eyes held a firm wall of iron that belayed her rather cute appearance.

The light orange dress only made her cuter.

So cute! Ochaco managed to keep such thoughts in her head. Calling a grown woman cute was kinda rude.

"Come on, Auntie." Usagi was poking her relative on the arm. The grin she had on spelled nothing but trouble. "You gotta do the greeting. These are first time customers."

The droll stare Bouncy gave her was worth at least five Eraserhead deadpans out of five.

She did, however, acquiesce with a sigh. With a small twirl, she spun around and faced her customers with the brightest, happiest smile possible. A flower petal opened up behind her, as if saying she was a beautiful daisy blooming in the sun.

"Welcome to the Lil Bunny Hop! I'm Bouncy the Bunny! Wanna eat some sweets? Pwetty Pwease?!"

The group of five were stunned speechless.

But then Eri started clapping at the performance. Ochaco did a double take when Izuku started taking pictures with a goofy smile on his face.

-----RGS-----

The heavy package was set down.

"You've got the address right?" The recruiter asked.

The square jawed beastly man nodded. "Yep. Rabbit cake store. Just a few streets away."

"And the job?"

"Cause a stir and go wild with my quirk. Sounds fun." He opened the package. "Oh! Nice set of wheels. It's gonna go great for my performance."

"Happy to be of service." The person made an L with their hand and set it on their forehead. "For Meta Liberation."

"For Meta Liberation."

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

Ok. That's the first part done. The players are set for a false flag operation nd the Meta Libs start playing with fire.

I know I had Bloody using her Vamp name in the reports last time but for a relocation a much cuter name seemed like it wouldn't arose much suspicion. Especially since it helps with her business. The name of the shop was a toss between Lil Bunny Hops Sweets or House of Hare n Delights. The Lil part clenched it.

And yeah the moment I thought about Bouncy doing her routine, zuku was gonna take pics He has to.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

"Whoa…" Marco Diaz was bedazzled.

This place was the future. Sure it was in a different dimension from his own but this could very well be where his Earth was heading. Heck, Magic was real so why couldn't superpowers be real?!

The fact that people with those heto- heteromorphic quirks were just walking around with no one being taken aback was so cool. One guy's head was a Mastodon. Another was a straight up case girl. And look at those Hulkin Arms!

All they had back home was Ms. Skullneck after she became a troll. That definitely didn't count.

But…perhaps they could change that. Maybe they could have actual trolls and magical creatures walking around that easily back in Peach Creek! If they want to, of course!

"Note to self, see about moving Monsters to Peach Creek Earth." He muttered as he wrote it down in a notebook. He then checked his watch. "Oh dang! We're gonna be late to meet Izuku."

Marco looked around for his Girlfriend and Princess but she wasn't next to him.

"Star? Star?" He spotted her near an electronics store. Looks like there was some superheroics going on and the news was delivering it.

"Marco! Marco, look! That guy can make his whole body catch on fire! And not become crispy chicken! And there's another guy with huge wings that's eating chicken! And a magical washing machine!"

"Ok, you almost had me for a second there bu-"

Marco's reply was cut off when there really was a washing machine Hero on TV. "What the heck, Japan?"

"Izuku really undersold the legendary heroes he's got here. I bet that washing machine is the Deadliest of them all. Look at him Marco. That's the eyes of a warrior." Star had a hand on Marco's cheek to keep him focused on the TV.

Almost hilariously, the screen changed to showcase another hero. This time it was a short but muscular woman with rabbit ears and feet. And she was a fast moving powerhouse! One villain with Giant Crab hands tried to snap her in two but she ran right through him and punted him into the sky!

When he came back down, she claimed the win with a foot on his stomach and a savage smile on her face.

The two teens watched in awe.

"...You think Izuku..?"

"Let's not think about it." Marco didn't want to open that can of worms. "Come on. He's gotta be at Blo-I mean Bouncy's by now."

The two proceeded to head back. It still felt interesting walking around and seeing a sci-fi comic book come to life. Really gave a sense of wonder to the other side of the weird shift.

Wonder if there's a future food that I could take back ho-

BLAM!

Marco's thoughts were disrupted by an explosion not far from them. He gaped.

"That's Bloody's place!"

------

A few moments ago…

"It's not my best attempt but I hope you enjoy it." Bouncy said as she presented Eri with a candy apple on a plate.

The group was sitting at the side booth, a few feet from the window. Izuku and Aizawa sat at the ends of the booth while the girls took the rest. Usagi had to go back to keeping the shop clean while Bouncy entertained everyone.

"Thank you." The young girl picked it up and started nibbling. She licked her lips as a wide smile broke out. "It's delicious."

"Why, thank you." The rabbit lady smiled before she took the orders from the students.

Aizawa nodded along with this before abstaining from food and settling on water. Not that he didn't mind the occasional sweet but only on occasion. Besides that, he was keeping the sharpest eye on his charges and his guests.

Even now that he knew Midoriya was a Father, the reality never really hits till you see the child. He should know. Ms. Joke still makes…well jokes about him technically adopting Eri. Though it wasn't as funny as the first time.

Aizawa watched as Bouncy, as she asked to be called, rather cheerfully dote on Eri. The reports and details Midoriya shared had colored many opinions, his own included. Without them, anyone would just assume she was just a small child with a rabbit quirk. Or maybe a doll.

But now that he was closer, something gave a different picture.

She was definitely a grown woman, that weird little cutesy act aside. Her voice and mannerisms compounded the adult image. Not to mention, her stare could be a little combative.

Oddly enough, he could see a little of Izuku in that stare.

He sipped on his glass of water. Well other than a so-called vampire Queen, this seems to be a decent outing. I may have to remember it the next time Eri wants to be out in the city.

He had a hunch that Eri said ok because Midoriya asked. After his disappearance, she almost fell back on staying indoors. Thank goodness Mirio and Tamaki and the others were there to keep her spirits up. Hopefully she didn't start thinking she had to work hard to keep Izuku around this time.

"LOOK OUT!!" A shout came from outside.

The Heroes were on the case immediately. Izuku pulled Bouncy and Eri close and moved them into the booth and away from the door. Tsuyu and Ochaco and Aizawa were ready for battle.

CRASH!!

A wall of pure stone smashed through the front door and spun into an epic pose. It was actually a nearly six foot tall man with square jaw and fatigues. His entire body was covered in stone, the kind used in old fashioned drawbridges.

It covered so much it gave him the appearance of being bald.

But the most peculiar thing was the things on his feet. They had to be a set of futuristic skates since they managed to not only take his weight but they were why he had so much speed and could stop on a dime.

"That's right!"

"Give us the money!"

He also had henchmen.

One was a nondescript skinny man with arms that were longer than normal. The other was short, stout, and had his hands waving about. Nothing to give away what his quirk was.

Long limb then noticed the register. "Boss, the cash is right here!" He reached out and grabbed at it.

Shink!!

"EEK!" He screamed in shock.

A knife has been thrown. It sunk a good few inches into the metal of the register. If the Long limb man had actually grabbed it, he would have lost a finger!

Stone man gaped at the attempt of literal bodily harm. "Whoa! What the hell, Era-"

He saw the capture tape coming right at him!

Thinking quickly, he grabbed his smallest minion and threw him at the tape. It caught the guy instantly.

"Boss what the heck!"

"If I'm caught it's all for nothing! Besides it's just one guy and kids, even if it is Eraser!" He tried to use his quirk but Eraser had him in his sights.

Well that's fine. They had other means of support.

He was sliding around on the skates to try and attack on the side. He didn't need to alert Yun since he was already putting his gloves on. Those long arms and a nice set of boxing gloves with extra oomph was too much for anyone to endure. Especially if they ain't got protection.

Eraser Was on his feet and going for the biggest target in the hopes of settling things quickly. Not a bad plan and quite effective.

Just as Eraser was about to kick out, the trap was ready.

"Gotcha!" The already captured minion shouted as he pointed his head at the Quirk erasing hero. Amazingly, the back of it opened up to reveal a type of ray gun!

At this range, it would hit Aizawa and may cause him to get taken out instantly. Or if he switched his attention quick enough, he could stop the man's quirk from firing and stop the Stone Man from getting his quirk back up and running.

It would be a split second decision that a Pro might have a small problem with.

Unfortunately, the robbers had forgotten which students these were.

From out of Izuku's wrist, a single black whip struck out and knocked into the Leader's jaw. It had him take a stumble back an inch. But it was enough for Eraser's kick to land!

It made the leader fall to the ground so that the Erasing quirk could hit the gun head man and stop him cold.

Uraraka was up next as she jumped over the table and quickly attacked the short guy. She laid into him with a few good punches that left him stunned.

"Eat this!"

She looked up and saw the Long limb stretch out his now boxing gloved hands and get ready to swing at her.

WHACK!

"Doof!" He shouted as a tongue sucker punched him.

It came from something hanging upside on the ceiling. It had to be Tsuyu!

She had gone camouflage and in all the chaos had been forgotten!

"Why you!" Long limb shouted as he hung in and delivered his punch. However, this time he aimed it up to try to hit Tsuyu.

She dropped down and dodged the hit.

He let loose his other arm and it was coming right at her!

She struck out with her tongue again and met the punch. This wasn't a good idea since the material for the gloves was made from metal.

Ow! She flinched at the pain but she did manage to parry the hit.

Just as Long limb was about to pull back Ochaco had him in her grasp. Her now gravity defying grasp.

"What?!" Limb noticed he was floating. "Hey stop! Put me down!"

Instead she pulled.

The loss of momentum and the sharp tug sent him straight toward her…just as Tsuyu jumped in and finished him off with a double kick to the face.

The leader gaped as the whole plan went to crap so easily. Sure they were from UA but he and his crew couldn't even get one hostage! Outrageous!

We're not done yet! "Tora! Ichika! Get in here!"

"Narwhal Blast!"

A weird sound came from outside just as a freaking Narwhal popped into existence and slammed into the back up of his crew.

"Boss help! These crazy kids are-Oof! Ow! Stop!"

"Citizen's Arrest!" Some other kid he didn't know shouted as he took down Tora.

He couldn't believe it.

He, Buchi Sageki, a crook talent extraordinaire, got utterly beaten in an easy job. He didn't even complete the job!

The green haired kid was supposed to take care of everything!

Buchi didn't get a chance to bemoan or try again before Eraser had him captured again. Hands and legs bound and quirk unusable.

A solid victory for the good guys.

-----RGS-----

"We're really sorry, Sir." Marco said to Aizawa and the police.

"Super sorry." Star said as well.

"As long as you understand. Things aren't like America here. We can't have civilians getting injured and jumping into things. Please let an official or a Hero handle it next time."

Ochaco felt a little bad for Bouncy's guests. They had helped a bunch with making sure the bad guy backup was taken down but this was hero stuff. Though Star's…narwhale quirk was the real rule breaker, Marco just jumped in and started kicking butt.

He did have some good takedown moves though. She thought.

The scolding done, the two were released to Bouncy and Sensei Aizawa.

"They already covered everything so I'm not repeating it. I shouldn't say thank you but it was appreciated." He said. It reminded the girl of the hoops a Hero had to go through while being on the side of the law. He then went over to the police to see about the transport of the criminals.

"Eh. I kinda expected a little danger. This place is kinda like back home. But more orderly." Star waved the whole thing off. "Still I can't believe Usagi missed everything."

"No, kidding." Said Rabbit girl grumbled. "I step for like five minutes and I miss the brawl. Should have hopped my way here."

"That would have gotten you in trouble too, Usagi." Izuku replied.

"I probably should have brushed up on that kind of thing a little more."

"It was a weird moment to slack off, Safe kid." Usagi teased. Star giggled while the hoodie wearing boy groaned.

"That said…" Star then swooped over and came to stand next to Ochaco and Tsuyu. "Hi! I'm Star Butterfly. Usagi's rival and…" SHe quickly looked at a cue card. "..an American! Nice to meet you!"

"Hello." Said Tsuyu.

"Hi there!" Ochaco replied.

"I heard you guys took on the bad guys and that's so cool. Real life heroes. Oh and Tsu, you're part frog right? That's cool. I know a guy who's also a frog and he's like the coolest ever. A great family man even. Can we be friends?!"

"Ok."

"Yay! Hugs!" And she went in for the hug.

Well that was nice. Ochaco was fine with making new friends. She did wonder what Star's quirk was.

She then noticed Izuku off to the side with Eri and Bouncy. He was still holding Eri's hand as he talked with the rabbit woman.

"Sorry about all this, Bouncy." He said.

"It's fine. Though it will be a pain to talk to the rebuilders tomorrow." She rubbed her chin. "At least none of the cakes were demolished. I'll have Usagi and Marco deliver the ones close by. I'll have to get the house paper too.."

"If you need help with fixing it, just say the word and I can clear the whole place. Just a coupla minutes an-"

"I think the authorities still have to deal with the scene before anything else." Bouncy then looked at Eri. "I'm sorry if things were scary today, Eri."

"I'm ok. Deku was here."

"It's good to have a hero on call eh?" There was something in Bouncy's voice that made those words sound…a little sad. If Izuku's grimace was any indication, there must have been something Bouncy shared with him about her past.

"Alright everyone, time to go." Aizawa sensei called out.

Tsu was just finishing up exchanging cell numbers with Star with Marco following suit. Ochaco was glad that the home part of the store wasn't broken. Losing cherished memories and a whole house was a terrible thing to happen during villain attacks.

Even if the reconstruction job could go to the Uraraka Construction company, that was a terrible way to think of it. Even if it is true.

Next time, she'd be on the ball more to make sure nothing was broken.

She and the others gathered together to leave. Even if there was some danger it was a nice day out. At the very least, Izuku managed to have fun and sh-Everyone got to connect with him a little again.

The bubbly heroine ignored the redness of her cheeks as she watched Izuku and Eri bid the cake shop a good day.

And when she asked Aizawa if they could come back, the three teens couldn't help but chuckle at how she kept tugging on the unkempt man's leg.

"WATCH OUT!!!"

The shout spooked everyone. Ochaco turned to see the big stone man was back on his feet and in full stone mode!

His arms were outstretched and he was already in mid leap! He was aiming for Bouncy who was only just noticing him!

He was going to grab her! She was in danger! Sh-

WHOOSH!
SLAM!

It was too fast for her to follow.

All she felt was a gust of high wind blowing around her and the others. It was someone moving fast.

They bounced off a wall and wound up right in front of Stone Man and launched one of the strongest kicks she had ever seen. It was like a spiral spinning tornado struck the man right in his center diaphragm. The force stopped the man right in his tracks and utterly shattered the stone covering him.

Were this an ordinary moment, stone man would have been sent flying into a wall or far away. But not this time. The kicker didn't want him to just go.

Instead, the green lightning flowed and the Kicker launched two more strikes, breaking the armor on the criminal's pectorals and keeping him in the air.

The moving shadow touched the ground only once and then he was up above Buchi, leg raised in a near perfect split. His lone eye shone with green anger while a red x-like mark glowed on his face. He was like a death god delivering his sentence of death.

All of it just a setup for a final fierce kick that laid into Buchi's face and set him to the ground.

BOOM!

The attack made a crater that cracked the ground and made a literal hole in it.

All in nearly five seconds.

Ochaco blinked at the figure was standing before the hole.

It was Midoriya. He had moved faster than Sensei or anyone else. He stopped the bad guy and saved Bouncy.

And yet…there was something else.

He was glaring at the defeated bad guy. There was anger in those eyes.

And that ferocity in his attack. Like he almost…

"THANK YOU!!"

The moment was cut off when Bouncy…well bounced and launched a hug at Izuku. One he didn't see coming and nearly freaked out about.

"Wow! That was super scary! Thanks for saving lil ole me!!" Bouncy announced as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Uh, no problem?"

Izuku's confused answer got the crowd roaring in approval. The combined cuteness of Bouncy and Izuku's boyish obliviousness was an instant hit.

Afterwards, things went a more routine route. The robber was retrieved from the hole. The side of his face that Izuku kicked has a big welt on it with a couple of teeth missing. He flinched and tried to scurry away whenever Izuku's eye fell on him and promptly complied to be sent to jail.

One of the police apologized for the near disaster and promised to do better.

With the day now finished, Ochaco and her UA group would head back to the school and rest after a wild day.

And yet, when she thought back to the whole affair, certain questions came to her.

For one, that weird heavy feeling.

While she knew that Deku was making it as he kicked that guy, there was something else. Another feeling that was more razor sharp. And dangerous.

And that brought up the other question: who threw that knife?

They could have stabbed or cut that long guy's fingers with that. It came from behind her so there was only Izuku, Eri and…

No way. Ochaco thought, shaking her head. Bouncy was too sweet and nice. Besides, even then, she probably got lucky. She didn't do it on purpose.

…Could she have?

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

And thats a fight scene done. Hope its to your liking.

Hardest part was deciding what Izuku was going to do. I had thought of a one hit ko but that didn't feel epic enough. I also had to rewrite Bouncy's thank you when i realized she could use it as a way of getting bad eyes off her Dad and solidify herself as cutesy. The knife was a random throw in. Heh.

Marco and Star getting the other guys felt like pure Star vs silliness and i was glad for it. Shame about Usagi but i totally forgot about her in write in. She'll have a better chance next time. Family business isn't done yet.

Stay tuned.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

"You better say something to him, Katsuki!"

"Leave me alone, Hag! Deku's fine!" Bakugou yelled back.

His Mother, Mitsuki, had called a moment ago to ask him about the fight Deku had been in during his day with Aizawa and round face and frog girl. To Katsuki, it sounded good as he put the bad guy down easily enough. Hell, the girls put up decent fights too and no civilian got hit.

All in all, a good win.

"Alright, so I expect a call back later. Be sure to talk! We love you, you brat!"

"Buzz off! Loveyoutoo!" He quickly hung up.

The onlookers were giving him annoying glances so he glared at them all back. As usual they looked away so as to not arouse his attention. Good. I don't need this nonsense when I gotta focus. I'll smoke the last of this retake exam and finally get my license.

Suddenly Todoroki spoke up. "Hey, Midoriya's kicks have gotten pretty cool huh?"

"I don't care."

"It also looks like he's gotten faster." The red and white haired boy was watching a clip of the impromptu kick session on his phone. "You gotta slow it down to see the two kicks to the chest."

"So?"

"You think you can still catch him if you race?"

"Damn right I can." Katsuki bared his teeth at the challenge. "It just means that slowpoke is trying to catch up. He still won't beat me."

The explosive blonde turned away and kept walking. Despite his words, he knew that the opposite was still in place.

He and Todoroki had put off their licenses when Izuku disappeared. Mostly due to the higher ups being worried another attempt might happen during the time. Neither minded because their friend had gone missing and the fact they weren't able to find him grinded gears.

But now things were back on track for them now.

But that didn't mean they weren't still curious about what happened and why. One day, Class 2-A would find out the truth.

----

"Ughh. That brat! He'd better do what I asked before I go over there and noogie him in front of everyone!"

"It's fine, Mitsuki. I'm sure Katsuki will let Izuku know." Bakugou's Dad Masaru said, trying to get his wife's temper down. "Also thanks for letting him know about me too."

"That brat knows how we feel. And he better not rush the love yous next time. There's nothing to be embarrassed about saying that to a parent. Izuku says it all the time, right Inko?"

The chubby mother giggled. "Yes."

Really, it was good to have friends. The Bakugous were really there for Inko, just like All Might. She felt herself getting better already.

"But really though, you are ok right? Have you been drinking enough?"

"Yes. And again I'm so sorry for flooding the house."

"Pfft. It's fine. Weird but fine. And how has little Izuku been since he's been back?"

A bigger smile rose on Inko's face. Though the edges were a bit brittle at the knowledge of what happened to him. Something that she couldn't talk about to anyone.

The government and the heroes asked her to keep quiet.

Izuku himself asked her to keep it quiet.

Inko…she was almost afraid to even touch it. Just seeing it almost made her throw up. She almost asked Izuku to quit being a hero then and there.

But there was too much else going on for her to say it.

Her new extended family were helping. Especially Usagi now that she was spending time in Izuku's room. It was nice to have a kid in her home again.

"Inko?" Mitsuki asked.

"Hm?"

"You still seem down. Wanna go out tonight? We could hang out at a bar."

"Uhm, if you're going out tonight, please remember to call in Mitsuki." Masaru reminded his wife. "Wait, can i co-"

"No sweetie. It'll be ladies night. How about you get a game league going?"

"Well I was hoping to get a bowling league in. Since Katsuki's too busy to go mountain climbing."

"Just tell him you wanna go!"

Inko had a sweat drop as a usual exchange from the two started up. "I don't really drink Mitsuki…" But there was somewhere she wanted to go. And while she couldn't let her friend know right now, she can introduce Mitsuki to her…grandchild.

That is still weird to even think about. "Actually Mitsuki. If you're free soon, there is somewhere I'd like to go."


----RGS-------

At the Lil Bunny Hop Sweets…


"This place rocks!" Star Butterfly yelled as she held a broom above her head. "We've been here for a couple days and we already got into a battle! And we got to see Izuku's friends and that sleepy guy again!"

"The Sleepy Enforcer is kinda neat." Said Usagi. She was finishing off the last specs of glass to be cleaned up. "I think the blushy girl was…uhh…"

Bouncy cut in. "Uravity, the Sky maiden. And the girl was the Folk Hero Froppy." She then wiped off the counter. "When is that contractor going to get here? I need that front door fixed already."

"Why not just let me do the magic thing?"

"Then we'd have the annoyance of questions by onlookers and the police. They seem to be very anti-quick fixes here."

"Not so much for me." Usagi bragged. "Sure I don't have a quirk but they can't stop me from being a Rabbit."

"They'll just bust you for hopping the roofs." Star flashed her tongue. Usagi did the same and they started making faces at each other.

Bouncy rolled her eyes and decided to stand outside and give out flyers to passersby. Better than watching the two silly girls play fight.

Outside, Bouncy did her best to attract attention. She smiled and put on the cutest little face her doll-like body could produce.

Children of course flocked to her. No surprise there.

She even managed to wrangle a few teens interested in sweets and the odd adult. After a while, Star and Usagi came outside to aid her as well.

Watching them try to get attention, it struck Bouncy how odd this felt. Having a Butterfly royal walking within her home alongside Rabbit Royalty. Before meeting her Father again, she would never have seen it happen. Most likely would never have desired it.

Funny how nearly dying and failing so hard you had to make a whole new body could change your views.

"Excuse me?"

She turned and saw a man in a business suit. "Yes?"

"I represent Ebi Construction. I heard about the damages you've endured and was wondering if we could put our names forward to help rebuild your home."

"Oh? I assumed the insurance company would handle it."

"They undoubtedly will but that doesn't mean we companies can't get up and go find our customers." He even added a performance of running in place for the gag. "Now how about I leave behind a little payment plan for our coverage? Just in case you want a little more speed!"

Bouncy considered this. Some expediency would be rather nice.

But the timing of this was suspicious and she didn't want to be under the paper thrall of idiots. Even in Mewni and the Rabbit Kingdom, those money vampires could grow to be a plague. And even if you stomp out a section, they'd return later.

"I'll consider it. Your card?"

He handed her a business card and went on his way, with a pastry of course. Bouncy

"Still say I should just magic up a wall." Star muttered as she peeked over Bouncy. "Ebi huh. Doesn't that mean snake or something."

Bouncy hummed before they all went back inside. Marco would return soon from a delivery and it'll be Stars turn to go make a run. The former rabbit Monarch was considering letting Usagi go with so that the blonde didn't get lost.

Or worse.

"Actually, yes. Usagi, go with Star. I shouldn't have let Marco go it alone either."

"If it's the League yer worried about, Marco's got scissors and skills. He should be fine." Usagi reminded her.

"Not good enough. So long as you all are under my roof, you will have protection." She thought about it. She knew longer had her vampiric magics but her fighting skills would need work. But as a good defense…

"Perhaps I need some of my old toys." She muttered. A slow smile growing on her face.

And unbeknownst to the little shop, they were being watched from across the street. By one with a black hoodie…

-----RGS------

Elsewhere…
In Mewni…


The mansion was especially melancholic and Gothic today. The corridors leading to each room had a touch of darkness and shadows draped the walls, making any who touched them chill to the bone. Long ago, it was housed to a large family of royals but they had long since passed during the wars.

No one really wanted the property so it was just left there to rot.

It made for the perfect hideout. Or home for an odd family.

A child's cry began to echo in its vibrant and foreboding halls. In her crib, Meteora Butterfly was calling out for someone to pick her up.

"Oh don't worry dear." Black gloved hands reached down and hoisted the little one into her arms. "Mother's here."

That let Meteora calm down a little. The rocking helped even more.

Eclipsa Butterfly held her newly restored daughter and carried her out to the living room. There was a rather nice old chair situated next to the wide window. It made for a good scenery spot.

Eclipsa sat and kept rocking her baby girl.

The quiet life here was nice. A good do-over for her family. This time she was going to raise her baby with love and her husband. Away from the problems of the Butterfly line.

She just hoped Star and Moon and River could handle this new status. Star could make an excellent queen. She was already learning so much from her mistakes and those of their family.

"Perhaps we could visit someday? What do you think, Tora?" She asked.

The child made a sound but was trying to reach out at her mother.

She giggled. "Yes. In a few years, you'll be fine to go see Auntie Moon and Cousin Star."

Eclipsa started to lose the smile a bit as another thought began to work its way into her mind. There was one more person that would like to see the baby.

Her Grandfather.

"Hmmm."

Some heavy footfalls let her know her husband has returned. He leaned down so his face was level to hers. "You're still on the fence about the Green Scar, Hunny?"

"You don't need to call him that Globby. He said you can call him Father."

"I know. I know." He turned bashful as he laid down next to them. His size keeping him level with his wife and daughter. "It's just…kinda crazy to be related to your hero."

"The wonder will wear off. Especially when he starts to talk your ear off. I never really understood how he was able to just do that. Or the times he nearly flooded a room with his tears too."

"Hehe. Sounds hilarious. I think I saw that once back then. When he tried organizing with Frog monsters wi-"

He halted. Was it a good idea to mention that?

"With his Wife, Vell?" She asked. Globgor nodded. "It's not a big deal Globgor. He and Mother never married. Besides Bouncy is a perfectly nice young lady…before and after her vampirism at least."

They both shuddered.

Globgor asked for Meteora and picked her up. Holding her above him, the giggling babe tried reaching for him. He slowly pulled her close and let her tap his horns.

"Still, you do want him to meet Meteora right? At least for a little bit?"

"I guess so. He loves her and she is over the moon about him."

"I don't mind waiting if that's what you want. Like you said, his side of the dimension is dangerous since that Black Hand is there. Maybe once he's been taken care of we could try."

It was a reasonable enough compromise.

The simple fact was that Eclipsa still wasn't sure where she fell on the issue of her…birth Father. The loss of her mother was like a chasm between them.

But she did feel heavily guilty. In a way, things did become worse during her reign. If she had been fiercer with Mina, then his other children would have had longer lives. He would have had so many other descendants to spend time with than worrying about her.

Yet he kept his rage and blame solely with the former Butterfly General, Mina.

If Eclipsa were to visit, he'd welcome her family with that smile and waterfall like tears of his.

She had the proof in her pocket.

A trinket that would let her find him with ease. No fuss. No multiple dimensional scissor trips and years.

All thanks to the blood they shared.

"Hun?"

"Hmm?" Globgor was giving her a look. "Oh nothing sweetie. For now, how about a walk outside?"

"Sure. Oh! I'd better get some stuff for dinner too!"

"I could kill for Schnookers bar."

"Please don't, Eclipsa."

"Oh, I won't!" She said this with a cheeky smile.

She was glad for the stroll. Another means to keep her mind off troublesome family issues. Ones she will have to do something about.

But only later.

She had her husband and daughter. That was fine.

Spoiler: Author's Note

Maybe i should lay off the angst a little. Kinda had no idea where to go here since i didnt wanna do a reaction chapter per say. It began to come together when i made up Eclispa's part. Took a moment but i finally introduced her. Now i can pull her in soon.

Next arc may be short. Just a small good time maybe. Maybe reading TUM can help with that.

Stay tuned.

Reignite, Green Scar!!

MHA/SVTFoE fic


Premise: A moment with a family that brings consequences.


Chapter 3.5 Only Business is Family Business


In another dimension…


Her name was Siamal.

She was the last one left.

In the beginning, they weren't even born. The story started, with all things of magic and battle, with Mewni and their magic queens. They carved out a Kingdom for themselves and attempted to grab everything into their rule. Monsters either bent the knee or fought them.

It was a futile effort.

The Butterflies were favored by Magic. That unknown but all encompassing element that changed the world. It changed the rules.

There were challengers to this. Many times Monsters and other mewnians tried to shake the Butterfly hold on the land. They failed.

Even the Rabbit Kingdoms Messiah, The Green Scar, could only wound the Crown but not destroy it.

He did prove that they bled. And that's what other groups tried to do.

The Black Hand rose to the challenge.

They discovered the truth. That magic was not solely of the Butterfly domain.

Not just the fire demons of the Underworld and other magical creatures. Anyone could learn magic. They need only find it.

The first Hand found a way to the realm and was touched by the arcane. They attempted to channel this power to learn necromancy. The lost sacrifices were returned and thoughts of conquest grew.

They failed.

The Butterfly and Rabbits and Lucitors and Pony heads and so many others did not take kindly to the new power. They were afraid of what the Black Hand could do. The reach they could have.

The dreams came to fruition by the founding of the second Hand.

Their true leader came then.

He called himself Shigaraki. By his hands, all creation was laid to ash. He decimated many of the first hand's leadership when they tried to control him.

He spoke of Vengeance on those that held him back. Of a society that wronged him.

And that he hated.

And in that hate, the Black hand opened themselves to him. He could have their lives to do what he wished.

So he opened his own hand and took them into his hate. He promised destruction to those who stood in his way. And in that palm, new life would grow for the Black Hand.

Where they would decide who lived, who died, and who stood at the top.

Soon his other hands came as well.

The Doppelganger.
The Blood Countess.
The Seething Flame.
The Scaly Herald.
And the Magician.

With a Black Hand and a Villainous Hand, Shigaraki would break Mewni!!

But…but this prophecy was not meant to be.

The Green Scar, a human from Shigaraki's realm, reemerged to do battle with their Lord. Perhaps the Green Scar was just one who loved to fight? Or he sensed the Power of Ruin and wanted to test himself against it?

Either way, he and the forces of Mewni rallied against the Black hand.

And somehow…they won.

While the Black fingers struck mighty blows and even decimated one of the pillars of the Butterflies, The Magic High Council, the forces of Mewni rallied something more on their side.

It had to be the Green Scar. If he could give birth to a new Kingdom, then he could conceivably rally others to fight. Even the tumultuous kingdoms with bad blood.

Like a Champion of old. Or a Butterfly Queen.

He hurt Shigaraki.
He hurt the Evil Hand.
And he shattered the Black Hand.

Their Lord fled before he was destroyed and only took the evil hand and a few black fingers with him. The rest had to contend with the Green Scar's hurt forces.

Siamal's parents were one such group. They evaded the retribution and were left with only two choices: give up or find their Lord.

The Black Hand split further. One group went to a different dimension to hide.

Her group instead took the great pilgrimage. They would find their lord and restore him to power. No matter how long it took and how many were lost in the time to get there.

By their black hand, Shigaraki shall rise again!

-----

"For the last time Siamal, you go through the fire dimension, then ice dimension, then meat dimension, hang three dimensions to the left, and go down! We've already gone right of the ice dimension and it was too dangerous to do anything! We lost three members from there alone!" Shouted Siamal's father.

He'd been on the journey since they started nearly seventy years ago. That's what they get for crossing into one of the time quickening dimensions to cut time.

The family was made of Septarians who were brought into Shigaraki's plan to upend the current Order and remake it. But like Toffee, the attempt failed and the rest of their Kingdom ran them out with the rest of the Black Hand. His Grandfather and Father had tried and fallen before they could reach the end. And now their hopes were being pinned on the latest descendant, his daughter Siamal.

"It's no problem Father! I returned before the menace of time could afflict me! I'm still hale and hearty enough for at least three more expeditions!" The dark blue lizard-like young woman replied.

"I can see that but you must keep in contact! You are our herald to the Master and if we lose you, we won't be able to help him! DO NOT SCREW AND WIND U GETTING STUCK IN A WORTHLESS DIMENSION!"

"Aye, Aye!" She yelled with a salute. "Now I'm off!"

"Didn't you just hear me?!" He cried out.

She did and that gave her the courage to leap through the worlds. Armed with not dimensional scissors but a claw gauntlet, she cuts through walls and leaps in to try to find the right combination to find her heart's desire.

Yes. While she is a true member of the Black Hand, there is another reason why she wishes to find the Master.

And that's for love.

Wait for me, Knight Spinner! Don't worry! No matter what has been said about you, I, Siamal won't let the cruel hand of fate keep us away any longer! I'll find you! I promise!

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

A short and silly moment in the Family Business arc. Mostly to show that the rest of Shiggy's army isn't sitting idly. Its hard to find things across time and space and with no knowledge but hey! Maybe an imaginary love can light the way!

Debating on adding more to this arc. Most likely will be in the next one soon enough. That's gonna be short before we get to some real battles.

Stay tuned.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

"I'll see you guys later." Izuku tightened up his shoe laces and prepared to leave.

"Later Deku!" Many of his classmates called out.

"Huh?" Except for Bakugou as he came down into the common room. "The heck's Deku running off to?"

"I've got some errands to run so I'll be out for the rest of the day." Just before he opened the door, a thought came to him. "Oh! Uraraka! You and the others are still on to host Usagi?"

Said girl hopped to her feet and gave a fist pump. "You got it, Deku!"

"What the hell?! UA's letting randos in here?!"

"They're friends of this really good sweet shop Deku took us and Eri to. They're from America and everything."

"Oh yeah!" Denki said as a memory came to him. "I literally forgot about that. Also dang, Midoriya, secret dates right under our noses! You sly fox!"

There were many chuckles from the guys of the class. Ochaco had to look away when she felt Mina's teasing gaze fall on her back. Please don't.

Izuku rubbed the back of his head and looked bashful. "It wasn't like that! Really it wasn't."

"In any case, we promise to be excellent hosts to them! Any friends of yours are friends of ours!" Ida's rousing speech did the trick to rouse interest in the others. Some thought of games to play and cool tricks they could show the new people with their quirks. Ida tried to make a white board itinerary of what they could do before the day was done.

Mineta's suggestion was erased out of hand.

Mina had a whole dance dance revolution idea and was about to get the pad needed for the floor before Jiro tried to hold her back. Kota, bless him, already had his own pet rabbit out.

…Izuku and Uraraka and Tsu had to take him aside to explain Usagi. Hopefully it won't get weird.

Izuku watched it all with a fond smile. The energy and chaos of it really did make him feel like he was back in his old time. The past few weeks had been nothing but fun and a return to form.

He bade them one last goodbye before he went to meet with All Might. The man was giving him a ride to both the Cake shop and the office.

----RGS------

"Thank you for coming, Everyone. I understand you have busy schedules but we appreciate you taking time out for this operation." Tsukauchi said.

The red and blue clad Flame Hero Endeavor nodded as he stood with his arms crossed and his flaming facial hair on. Beside him were three other heroes.

One was Kamui Woods, the current 7th ranked hero on the Hero boards.

The second was Death Arms.

Finally was the Heroine who made her debut nearly a year ago, Mount Lady.

"So any reason we're here with the number one and our pal, number seven?" The strengthening quirk Hero asked. He tapped his against his pocket on reflex, wanting a smoke. "Especially with something this…well, this crazy. Me and Mount Lady are still working the beat."

Other worlds and magic? That was a fresh set silly to dumb on those not even in the top ten.

"It's mostly for compatibility with Kamui woods. According to polls and everyday witness accounts, you three have good compatibility despite the limitations of working within the city. SInce this is a much wider space, we hope you can work to the fullest."

"Yeah but with Endeavor here shouldn't things be wrapped up?"

"My sidekicks would have made for a good team but me and my top members being out and about will get people talking." Endeavor cut in. "If we want to keep this a secret for long, two of the top ten and two everyday heroes should be enough to not arouse much suspicion. Besides, there's enough street heroes that you won't be missed for a couple of hours."

"Why does that sound like an insult?" Both Mount Lady and Death Arms both had tick marks.

"I didn't mean it like that."

He didn't but his face could give them the wrong idea.

The blonde woman looked at the papers again. It wasn't like she wasn't interested. Sure this stuff wouldn't be made public in Japan for a good while but getting on the good side of a whole world should do wonders for her career. Plus wide open spaces with no cars? Heck yeah!

No property damage claims for her!

Tsukauchi got a ring on his phone. "Izuku Midoriya's here. We can begin."

As they shuffled out, Mount Lady muttered, "Feels weird to be going to another world with that plain kid from the sports fest."

"And from the Sludge Villain incident." Kamui added.

"Yeah. Wonder why we keep running into him so much?"

"Perhaps that's just our fate. But hopefully you don't have to shield him with your face this time."

She stuck her tongue out at him. He was gonna get it later.

----------

"Holy crap ki-I mean Dude! What happened to you?!"

Ok not the most hospitable way to talk about someone's appearance after seeing them age up two decades but can you blame her? Sure Midoriya got tall and kinda hot in that older dude way but he seriously needed a nap!

He didn't seem to mind it but she apologized all the same.

The Rabbits were a neat group. Same with the…Mewnis? Mewnians? The magic people that they were neighbors with.

And everyone treated Midoriya with a lot of respect. Like All Might level of respect. Given that he apparently helped build the nation, she can see why.

It may have annoyed her if these guys weren't also in awe of her and the other heroes too. Looks like Midoriya was their one person hype machine. They didn't have a chance to show off their quirks for the adoring, and admittedly cute looking, crowd but just a few waves and a smile would start her rise.

They met the Royals, who she was told were Japanese because of Midoriya, and she had to fight to not make a fool of herself.

The king Rabbit presented them with a magical map of Mewni. It looked colorful and almost holographic with how the ink just appeared and disappeared on its own. It also had a GPS tracker showing them where they were.

The Rabbit face that showed the Rabbit Kingdom was cute and funny.

"There are a few sites out west and near the border of the Butterfly and Rabbit Kingdoms. It's entirely neutral to be frank. We've heard rumblings of mysterious people around it. If you wish, you can go there to check for any of the Black Hand forces and see Mewni on a carriage ride."

"That'll be fine. Will..Deku be our guide?" Endeavor asked.

"I am." That explained why he was in a modified form of his hero costume. It was made to fit his adult form though he kept the mask off. Yu had to give it to the now older…guy, older guy. The mark on his face and his age was oddly cute but mature.

But really the bags under his eyes needed some care.

----RGS-----

"HELLFIRE!!"

The Blonde Heroine was treated to the site of barbequed beast. She then went back to squishing the ones trying to bite her toes. "Quit it, you little gnats!"

"Hey, watch it! We're still on your feet!" Death Arms was having a time of it. It was lucky that his Strength Quirk let him bowl through these beasts with a little effort. He was also assisted by Kamui locking them in place with his roots.

The monsters were a type of chimera beast. Borrowing the bulky frame from the hench guards from some place called Heinous School for Wayward Princesses, some animal pieces were spliced in to make a bunch of bodyguards and foot soldiers for the Black Hand. Many of them escaped during the fight between Shigaraki and Deku. And since everyone was in recovery mode, the beasts had a chance to just roam around.

"Can't believe there are creepy Nomu here too." Mount Lady complained as she scratched the sole of her foot against a broken building. The green mush that was part of their insides was something she didn't want to think about.

"That's not too far off describing them, actually." Deku was a hopping mad bruiser as he went from chimera to chimera. He was kicking the crap out of them from head to toe. One he even punted to the moon.

Yu could only look up and watch the flying beast disappear into the sky.

"Did that one actually reach the moon?" Death Arms asked.

"Probably."

-----RGS----

Kamui Woods was given the lead in the south end forest area. They were meeting with another Kingdom of Monsters. And really, they needed a different name for them. The heteromorphic inhabitants weren't like those chimera. They had education and housing and families. He heard from the reports that there were reforms going around to help integrate them with the Mewnians more.

Maybe Gang Orca can help with that.

"Presenting the Sheep Kingdom." One of the delegates, surprisingly not a sheep, announced.

Out of one of the fanciest buildings in the town stepped a small sheep humanoid. It looked cute enough but much like the town, there was something eerie about the place. He couldn't put his finger on why though.

The Sheep Lord stepped forward, their long red cape being the sole thing that marked them as a leader. Kamui couldn't really tell if the person was a boy or girl though.

They smiled as their eyes landed on Izuku's masked face. "Green Scar. It's been so long."

"It's great to see you all doing so well. Sorry I never made time to visit."

"Just knowing you were alive all this time is enough for us. And please, you don't need that mask here."

"Oh!" He did take it off. "Sorry. I am technically in the hero business so Masks are usually mandatory."

" I understand. Though it is a shame to cover those freckles. You've only become much sharper since last we met."

Kamui was now looking between the two of them. Beside him, Mount Lady was secretly pointing between Deku and the Sheep. Thankfully she didn't say anything out loud.

She and He already knew what speculations on relationships were like. And shippers.

Like heck they were gonna build one here.

The group and the sheep spoke of the remaining threat of Black Hand. None has retreated this far into Mewni as far as this area is concerned. And since they had battled Hekapoo, there was a chance they were just hiding in the other dimensions.

"So we'd need your scissors to go on raids?" Endeavor asked.

Izuku shook his head. "These were specially made to teleport back to our time. They're effectively locked to here in Mewni to Japan."

"Can this Hekapoo then help?"

"Not at this time. For now, she's benched." Izuku looked away. "Not to mention the court hearing she's dealing with. The Rabbits may have a different set they could lend. Not to mention Star herself."

So they had options. That was good.

"Must you leave?" The Sheep Lord asked. They took Izuku's hands into theirs. "We would love to host you all."

"Maybe another time. We're only here for one day and we've made reservations at Butterfly castle."

The Sheep pouted but nodded.

"Well before you go, could you do me one little favor?"

"Anything." Izuku smiled.

One the Sheep Lord returned as they pulled something from out of their cloak. "Would you mind signing this?"

Izuku looked at the item…and went pale white.

"Wha? Wha?"

In the Sheep Lord's hands, there was a book. It was a mixture of purple and green and about as big as a handbook. Or an autograph book.

On the cover was the title of S-Tar Hero. There was even a golden star emblem under the words.

The Heroes didn't understand why Izuku was so spooked.

"Yes. All the wonderful songs you and Prince Justin and the others used to serenade the land. We have been enjoying these wondrous musicals for a long time now."

"But I Destroyed them! All of them! I was sure of it!"

The three heroes, except Endeavor, raised a brow. What was he so panicked about?

"We managed to find some lost manuscripts of your songs. Not all of them made it sadly but we did get your best hits written and we've been performing them."

"But…how…?"

"There was a name on the box we found these in." The Sheep Lord tapped their chin to recall it. "I think it was…Conr-no. Jeral-of course not…oh right!"

"It was Glossaryck!"

Silence…and then!

"DAMN YOU GLOSSARYCK!!!"

----RGS-----

Sometime later…

The sun was setting by the time the Heroes had finished their jaunt across Mewni. Since the time distortion between the Hero Earth and Mewni was way off, it was decided to let the quartet stay the night.

And it was the Butterfly castle that was playing host.

The dinner was a decent affair. A surprising amount of meat and corn. With Mount Lady out loud wondering why there was so much corn. The dinner table was the kind that was usually seen on one of those European royalty shows. So it really was like they had gone overseas.

"Wonder if I can get Knighted while here?" Death Arms asked aloud.

"It's actually quite possible. Izuku here knows the rituals for it." River replied.

"Eh?"

"Well, I do remember a few things…" The green haired man trailed off. His voice then got real low as his mutterings began to take hold. "..surethatSolariajustdidtheswordtapthingbutthatwasjustSolaria.TheremightbeawholeritualthatIneverreal-"

"Ok! Ok! Maybe later, Deku!"

Moon and River chuckled at how embarrassed he looked. Mount Lady not far behind.

"By the way, my good man. Sir Endeavor, is it?"

Said Hero looked up from his food. "Yes?"

"Are you really alright with having your face aflame like that?"

"It's my power."

"Hmm. Quite extraordinary." River began brushing his own beard. "Honey, do you think I coul-"

"No."

"Awww. But it looks so striking on sir Endeavor! I can even picture myself striking a similar countenance as I ride across the plains with Eagle."

Queen Moon paused as she gave it some thought. "While true, I'd rather you kept the beard the way it is River."

"Oh well. But of course my love."

The four heroes just let the romance talk go amongst the couple. It wasn't the first time such matters came out during a funded dinner with investors. Though they did notice that while Endeavor kept his eyes down on the food, Izuku gave the royals a small smile.

It was kinda…heart pulling.

Did he also have that kind of relationship with his Rabbit wife?


----RGS-----

The next day…


It was time to return to Hero Earth.

"I can't believe I just did a whole time wonky adventure today." Mount Lady said as they stood in the open field next to the Rabbit Kingdom. "But I gotta say it was kinda fun, despite being work."

"It felt like one of those adventure manga I used to read." Death Arms laughed. "Maybe next time, I could get in a coupla arm wrestlin matches. That King River's surprisingly buff."

"Should you be saying that outloud like that?" asked Kamui.

"It's a surprise but it's also a compliment."

Off to the side, Endeavor and Izuku were exchanging quick pleasantries with King Miyamoto and his wife Queen Vanilla. Most likely, sealing the deal between them with a handshake for now. The rest of the details would be hashed out later.

Mount Lady began to look around the Rabbit place, even taking note of the guards and the children.

Wait who? She looked back and there was a young rabbit child peeking around the corner. Her cute little sundress said she had to be a little girl, maybe even a princess. In her arms was some sort of blue teddy bear thing. There was another rabbit child behind her. He looked like a martial artist blended with a mysterious kid.

The two kids didn't say anything and just kept staring at wonder.

Yu waved at them.

The girl waved back, slowly smiling at her. The boy just kept trying to look cool.

"Oh, is that Cream and Scorch?"

Yu nearly jumped at the Queen sneaking up on her.

"Children! Come and say hello!" Queen Vanilla called out. With permission from her mom, the little rabbit floated right over, by her long ears. Scorch slowly walked over.

Well ok then.

"Are you heroes like Grampa?" Cream asked.

"Yup. We were even o-" she stopped herself. She almost called herself older. "We made our debut around the sameish time."

"Did you teach Grampa?"

"Not yet but maybe one day."

Then the child got a mystified look in her eyes. "Are you Grampa's girlfriend?"

The group got real quiet over that. Kamui and Death had to look away to cover their chuckles.

"...Hahaha. No." She answered. "He's a little older than me."

"Oh…do you want to be? He's a really nice person. And tall!"

"Cream…" Scorch muttered. Guess someone was feeling embarrassed. "I'm gonna go talk to Grandfather."

The lucky kid decided to leave and see what the other guys were doing. However, instead of walking he decided to hover like his little sister. Not by his ears but by little fire sparks coming off his feet.

"Huh. Guess that's why he got the name Scorch?"

"It's an interesting ability of his. Normally he'd just burp it when he was younger but he's learned to really push the flames around." Vanilla said.

"Neat little quirk." She guessed it was from Deku's side. Though she couldn't help but wonder what other things the Rabbits could add to the guy's lineage. Super strength and rabbits though…

"That's Miruko all the way. Talk about scary."

This time, Kamui and Death gave her terrified looks. And Mount Lady just realized the words she just spoke. If the Number five heroine heard what she just said, Yu would be running her ass out of the city and retiring to the countryside.

"Oh? Who's Miruko?" Queen Vanilla asked.

The blonde screwed up her face. Ok she'd dug a hole for herself. She could get out of it, easy-peasy.

"Oh! Ooh! Mama, she's The Bunny of Caen! Heroine of the Bone Burrow stories that Big Sis read and King Caenerbog liked! Grampa told stories about her way back when! If she's there in Grampa's other house, maybe they can go out!"

"Really…" There was a calculating look in the Queen's eye. Yu tried to sneak away before things could get worse.

She didn't even make it a step before she found a dainty but strong hand on her shoulder. Over her shoulder, the Queen's pretty smile was even scarier. "Ms, Lady, do you mind telling me more of this Miruko?"

Sorry Deku. I'm so sorry.

----NGS----

The portal closed behind them.

Izuku paused to stretch his youthful body. Switching between the two was a weird experience but it also was a bit of a relief. He was also glad to see that some of the belly fat he made during his release from Rhombulus's prison was going away.

They arrived in the private meeting room where Tsukauchi and another man were waiting for them. The report from their first foray has to be cataloged.

"It's very old fashioned." Endeavor summed up as he filled out his portion of the reports. "Bricks and mortars for the Butterflies and the Rabbits. Though their tatami interiors were made by masters of the craft."

"Oh? Would you agree that they would be interested in more mechanization?" Asked the other man, who gave his name as Pako.

They shrugged their shoulders. "We'll worry bout that after the League's dealt with." Death Arms said.

Kamui finished his parts. "I wouldn't mind going back through. You were right about my quirk and that place. I might be able to help excavate more of the old ruins. Find more artifacts."

"We would be happy to have you." Izuku said. "What about you, Mount Lady? Death Arms?"

"Sure, li- Deku."

"Uhhhh." Mouth Lady was avoiding looking him in the eye. "I'll think about it! Buuuut there's probably other heroines that wanna give the fantasy thing a whirl! Like Ryukyuu! Or heck, Miruko!"

Death Arms and Kamui just gaped.

"Oh! We were considering that!" Pako looked a little too enthusiastic about it. "Her schedule interfered but I believe we can convince her to come for a meet and greet."

"I don't mind." Izuku agreed.

Suddenly a knock at the door interrupted them. Another officer pushed the door open before he could even ask permission.

"Sir! There's been an incident at UA!"

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

And taht's part one of the long day done. I'll be coming back here to touch it up.

But Endeavor and our favorite little trio made it Mewni, met some old fans of Izuku, and help pave the way for diplomacy! It felt light on Endeavor since I wasn't sure how to use his comedy. The others were easier, especially Mount Lady. I'll put in more team attacks for the excavation scene.

And yup S-Tar Heroes, Izuku's boyband days are real here. His early twenties was a silly time.

Next time, Hero Earth's part in this little tale.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

"Just like a boarding school." Marco said as he gazed at the dorms the UA super kids were staying in. Heights Alliance was what it's called.

Star however, was looking around. She huffed at the state of the pristine yard work and how clean it was. "It's actually a lot cleaner than I thought it would be. With all these Champions teens our age in there, I'd figure they'd be duking it out all day. Maybe at least a coupla ditches."

"Star, it's a school."

"Peach Creek High had a ditch."

"That was from your football plan, which went terribly wrong."

"Oh yeah." She had forgotten that.

Usagi side eyed her. "Or your Mewberty incident."

"Hey, I fixed the lockers. And got rid of the hearts. Shame I couldn't cure Ms.Skullneck though." Star looked a little sad at that.

Marco hugged to his side. "You tried. Heck even tried to hook her up. So…you tried."

"Yep. Good job, Star." Usagi patted her shoulder before walking. "Now let's go see our super kids."

"Yeah!" Star took Marco's hand and practically ran for the front door. They slid open and there was Ochaco standing there, ready for them. Behind her were three more people: Ida, Momo, and Kaminari.

"Welcome!"

"Please be welcome in our humble abode. We have snacks and tea ready for consumption. I am Ida, class president." He said all this while sophisticated hand techniques.

"Cool. Names Usagi Miyamoto. These are my minions, Star and Marco." The white rabbit said first.

Star looked offended as she pushed her cheek against Usagi's. "Hey! I thought I was the leader!"

"And I reject the minion name!"

"Hey, I'm taking point and helping show you guys around!" The tone of her voice made it seem like she was joking but something said she was serious. Serious about messing with them.

"Anyway, let's party!"

----

Things became a little silly and a little hectic after the first greeting.

But once the kids were inside, the fun really began.

For Usagi, it was a real but wild ride. Having grown up with the stories of the 2A heroes the Green Scar told tales of, she wasn't ashamed to say she was a fan.

Creati the Genie was just as nice as she heard. The fact she was able to take food, eat it, and make handy dandy stuff out of her body was still nuts. The three Mewni reps weren't there to see it but she made a new rice cooker and a crown!

Though Usagi wasn't expecting her to be a princess as well.

She made the elegant stuff look so easy.

Ingenium Swiftleg felt like a weird older brother. Helpful and making all those weird hand moves. Marco seemed to be the only one who seemed to be following along the movements.

Usagi narrowed her eyes. Was there some sort of Earth secret code there?

The only crazy meetings happened when she saw him.

"HOLY CRAP! KING EXPLOSION MURDER!"

Bakugou looked confused but pleased to hear someone call him that.

"Yer that Rabbit Deku met?"

"Yup. Hey, is it true your hair becomes spikier every time you shout?"

"The hell? No!"

"What about you being able to scare villains just by growling?"

"Obviously!"

"When has that ever happened?" Kaminari asked Jirou.

Bakugou then looked her up and down. She was short but she seemed confident. "And you? Can you fight?"

Usagi smirked. "Anytime, anywhere. Still gotta beat my minions first."

That was when Bakugou finally noticed that the blond with the heart cheeks was staring at him too. She even looked like she was about to touch his hair. Till the Hoodie kid stopped her.

"Any new friends of Midoriya are pals of mine." And in came the infamous gremlin of the class. Mineta had a rose in his mouth and was wiggling his eyebrows.

"Not interested." Said Usagi.

"Awww, aren't you tiny? But no." said Star.

Flat Out Rejection.

------

The students put out mats on the carpet so that they could do some dancing. While they all cut a little rug, Usagi and Mina broke out the breakdancing.

A true spark of rivalry was made that day.

-----

Star petted the rabbit that Koda brought to show off.

"This is the softest coat I've ever felt. So nice~." She marveled.

Koda smiled indulgently.

Marco was busy looking between the rabbit and Usagi and wondered if this counted as weird. Judging by how the Rabbit Mewnian was looking at the earth rabbit with a considering eye, perhaps it wasn't that bad.

Awkward moment skipped.

Marco did agree that it was the cutest and fluffiest thing he'd petted in a while.

----

"From the East!" Ojiro declared striking an open hand pose. He also had on his martial arts uniform.

"From the West!" Said Marco with a standard fist pose. He too donned the look of a karate man.

"Look! The Sky is Burning Red!" They crossed hands and raised them to the Sky. "Plus Ultra!!"

The guys cheered in manly approval.

----

"Mega Pony Shine!" Star yelled as she used her wand. In a splash of color, a radiant blue manned pony appeared in the room.

The collected squeal of joy from the girls almost broke the glass from the front door and the windows. In a flash they were fawning over the majestic looking horse. Kota was as well.

"The shining beacon of femininity." Tokoyami commented.

"Oh! I can also make Warnicorns!" Star suggested.

"A what?" Asked Mina.

Suddenly another unicorn appeared. One with rainbow teeth and a sinister look in its eyes as it tensed for battle. It narrowed at the sight of the boys.

"Nono. We're good." Usagi spoke up.

The unsettling being was quickly put away.

"Still your quirk is amazing, Ms. Butterfly." Momo commented.

"Ugh. Please no. Call me Star!"

"Star then. It kinda reminds me of my own except more flashy." To demonstrate, the taller girl held out her arm and started making Matryoshka dolls. She did change up the style to make them look like Star though.

"Oooh." The blonde held up the little thing. She pulled it apart and found another one inside. "That's some awesome magic."

"Izuku mentioned you can make things out of your body." Usagi picked up the smaller doll. She opened it and there was one more even tinier one. "I thought it was a magic trick at first but he mentioned something about food or something."

"Yes! I can transform the carbs in my body to make any item, so long as I know the physical makeup."

"You're a Food Genie." Star said, mesmerized.

Usagi decided to play along. "Grant us another cool thing Food Genie."

THe other girls started to join in, praising Momo the Food Genie and Momo the Princess.

The poor girl merely looked confused.

"Hey wait." Star suddenly asked and pointed at Momo. "You're really a Princess?"

"I'm not really. My family just has wealth. Everyone calls me that."

"Though she is the most regal out of all of us." The invisible Hagakure cut in. "We've seen her raise her pinky and everything."

Star scratched her head. "Aren't you supposed to do that? That's what my Mom had me study."

Usagi shook her head. "I had to do tea ceremony. Though that was both Dad and Mum."

"Wait, are you both rich girls too?" asked Ochaco.

They looked at each other. Something passed between them before they decided on, "Yeah. Kinda."

"Then do you guys have princess dresses?"

"Back home, I do."

"One or two Kimonos at my Aunt's place. Mum and Dad's orders. Please don't ask me to bring them here. Let me have my shorts and skirts." Usagi said.

"But if we did wanna dress up…" Star waved her wand around like a mesmerizing key to fantasy.

"Let's do it!" Mina and Toru yelled together.

"Alright!" Star immediately brought the wand up. With a wave of it, the girls were given European style dresses. Star in a light blue dress she used during her 13th birthday. Mina and Toru had similar designs but in lightest pink and sea green.

"Nice!" Mina said, giving the dress a once over. "Quick do Yaomomo!"

Star raised the wand but paused to check with the Yaoyorozu girl. She nodded and was given a pure white number with golden accents that left her shoulders bare. She even got a tiara! Everyone was blown away by the golden aura of Princess Yaomomo.

Uraraka and Jirou denied the chance. One because of money cautious reasons and the other because she didn't think it would work for her. Despite the objections of her friends.

At last, Tsuyu was given a dress after some convincing and she cleaned up really well. A mixture of turquoise that came with an elegant little hat and an umbrella.

"Definitely more elegant than me." Usagi complimented. Tsuyu just blushed at the praise.

Off to the side, the guys enjoyed drinks and the very cute dresses on very cute girls.

"Life is good." Mineta commented, a cup of tea in one hand. The collective nodded in agreement.

"Ms. Star's quirk seems quite versatile. Is she interested in Hero work?" Ida asked Marco.

"Oh yeah. She's definitely into fighting and helping others. Before her, uhm, quirk manifested, her parents were way into the self defense stuff so she's been training for it. She even knows how to use a war hammer."

Bakugou gave the blonde chatterbox a considering look.

"And yourself?"

"Quirkless. But I am gonna join her when she goes pro."

"A valiant effort."

"Or maybe it's something else." Kaminari teased with wiggling eyebrows. "Come on bro. Give us the deets."

"What deets?"

"Star or Usagi?"

"Oh. Oh! No. No. Star's my girlfriend."

"He freely admits it!" Kaminari was left in shock.

"You lucky jerk!" Mineta cried with bitter tears.

Now the boys had a chance to tease Marco on his "oh so mature" status. Though he seemed to have an odd understanding of Tokoyami.

"Another denizen of the dark. From long since past." Tokoyami nodded. That was all the bird headed young hero said on the subject.

Marco knew what he meant. His bad boy days were more or less behind him but the memories lived on.

"Oooooh Marco~."

You didn't need to be Marco Diaz to know there was menace in those words. The boys turned to see Star now sitting just an inch away from the Mexican boy with a gleam in her eyes. Out of all of them Bakugou and Todoroki were the quickest to get out of the splash zone.

"Yes, Star…?"

She tapped the wand on him. In a flash, the boy's red hoodie and pants were changed. Now he was in a pinkish ballroom dress. Not only that but his hair now sported a long ponytail.

"The girls wanna meet Princess Turdina~!" His girlfriend shouted in glee.

"Haven't seen that in a while." Usagi said with a chuckle.

The UA girls ooohed.

"It's honestly not bad." Jirou commented.

Mina was in serious mode as she looked the boy in princess clothing over. "It's the ponytail. Definitely the ponytail."

Marco rolled his eyes.

"You uh…," he turned to see the other guys scooching the other side of the couch. Kaminari continued his question. "You doin okay, Marco?"

"Yeah. This isn't the weirdest thing to happen to me. It's not even bad. Helped a lot of girls dressed in this."

"He was a brave and honorable princess that day." Star said in respect. Usagi nodded along, no hint of sarcasm or silliness in her posture. Nothing but respect.

Which was immediately broken when Star waved the wand around and shouted, "SO WHO ELSE WANTS TO BE A PRINCESS!?"

"DO IT AND I'LL EXPLODE EVERYTHING!"

"I don't think that's appropriate right now! And Bakugou don't explode things!"

"I don't think I have the face for it…"

"Lies Todoroki! Lies!"

"I still say Jirou should get a Princess dress."

"Shut it Kaminari."

While everyone was just having a laugh at the silly idea, Mineta was boring a hole in the floor as his mind could not compute. "Can a boy really be best girl…?"

--RGS-------

The good times continued to roll on. For a couple of hours, the kids of two different worlds played and talked and showed off their abilities. There was perhaps a side step about not speaking about Izuku, the one person that connected them.

Maybe the time wasn't right.

Or maybe there was a lack of knowledge to know what to ask about.

But that was about to change. All because Kaminari accidentally bumped into something.

------

"Ouch!" The blonde electric boy yelled as his foot collided with Star's backpack. "The hecks in there?"

Just as he asked that, a spark of his quirk ignited, completely by accident. It went into the backpack and hit something. That caught his eye.

"Better hang this up before someone breaks a toe." He reached for it and picked it up from the bottom. Or what he thought was the bottom.

Turns out the bag was upside down and the zipper was open. The mystery item, a circuit board looking cube, fell out with a thump.

It brought the attention of a few in the party. But especially Usagi.

Her eyes went wide when she saw it fall out and its electric blue power start up. "Oh no."

She rushed out of her seat to catch it and put it away! If there was anything she didn't want, it's deal with Quest Buy merchandise!

She dived for it! Just an inch and she cou-

Three other hands touched it first.

And when Usagi crashed onto it and her hand covered theirs-

The cube suddenly came to life.

An aqua blue gleam traveled all through the item, as if it was a circuit piece being outfitted with energy. To add to the strangeness, it started to float off the ground as a small screen for displaying letters appeared on it.

Everyone was on their feet in an instant.

Star held her wand out at the floating object. "Oh no."

"Oh no." Usagi repeated.

"Oh jeez." Marco finished. "I think that's my bad."

"YOU SHALL NOW PLAY…TRUTH OR PUNISHMENT!!" The Box of Truth Commanded.

[Kalem_Lee]

Bloody had been sitting in her cell.

Her Father had protested this since she had done her part for stopping Shigaraki and the Black Hand. Bloody had nearly cried when he vehemently tried to persuade the Rabbit court to let her go.

But for all his good heart, her father had never known her as the monster she was long after he had been taken away.

She let him down gently and told him that she would go willingly.

Something must have broken through to him since he relented. He would still be arguing her case in court and he visited her the very minute visiting hours came up.

It was late but Bloody appreciated the attention all the same.

Visiting hours were done today and she was laying on her bed, letting the time go by. If there was one thing about this high tower prison, it at least gave her enough sunlight to work with. The glow shrinking and changing to moonlight was nice to observe.

Now if only she had better company.

The guards did not speak to her. They feared her and stayed outside the room.

Her meals were placed nearby by a squire who would flee if she glanced his way.

Even if she knew it was coming, it was still hard to deal with.

"It could be worse." Bloody muttered. "Perhaps I could ask Father if I could have knitting material? Or a ball?

"They do usually allow for small toys. Nothing sharp I'm afraid."

The short rabbit didn't flinch but she did tense up. She recognized that voice. She turned her head to look. "What do you want?"

Eclipsa stood in the middle of the room since there weren't any chairs. Her spade laden cheeks creased into a small smile as she took it all in.

"Just appreciating your temporary lodgings. It's a pretty far difference between being crystaled for hundreds of years. Time may have flown by but there's always a feeling you're wasting time." She looked up at the moonlight peeking through. "That looks rather nice."

Bunny didn't say anything and just kept staring.

"Oh the silent treatment?" Eclipsa didn't really mind. "That's a bit mean. I do actually want to wish you well."

"Why?"

"Well as a fellow Queen who went through something similar, I thought I would offer condolences. Trials are quite annoying in my opinion."

"Because it revealed dark secrets that even you didn't know about?"

They both knew what she was referring to.

"Very much so. But there is still a means of getting something useful out of it."

That made Bloody sit up. "What do you mean?"

"My trial revealed the truth of my beloved daughter. And soon I found her again. There must be something you seek as well."

Oh. So that's what she meant. "No. I have no children. I traded that away when I became a vampire. I doubt this new body would allow anything like that now."

"I could-"

"No! No more magic for me." Bloody then sat up. "I appreciate the offer."

Eclipsa nodded. The silence between the two was almost deafening. And really what can be said between two people who were revealed to be sisters recently? Especially in a family that fractured from a long time ago.

"I am sorry about Mina." The former queen finally said.

Bloody tapped down on the anger. Lovberry was still out there but she would be found. She and the dry skinned brat that helped her.

That said, there was something she wondered about.

"Will you speak to Father?" Bloody asked.

"..." The silence was answer enough.

And now what more to do between the two of them? They were sisters by blood and lineage.

But…the bad blood wasn't easily fixed. Mina Loveberry's crimes will forever hang between the two kingdoms. So too would Bloody's revenge and against Cresentia and .

Diplomacy would rise again despite that.

And yet for Bloody and Eclipsa, their own meetings didn't amount to much.

Mina's misdeeds happened under Eclipsa's watch. And there was no guarantee that Bloody 's revenge wouldn't have included Globgor and Meteora. There were chances for things to have become worse between them.

But for now…maybe they can slowly heal.

Eclipsa gave the imprisoned Rabbit Woman a curtsy and said goodbye.

"Farewell Queen Bouncy."

She raised her hand but stopped. "Oh and one more thing about your trial."

"Yeah?"

"If you win, be sure to smile cutely. Izuku was always going on about how smiles can save people. And I'm sure your Father would love to see one on you. It may not be tomorrow but someday."

With a snap of her hand, she disappeared. Bloody was left alone once more.

Tomorrow will be one d
ay closer to her trial. Perhaps she could practice smiling.

One that wasn't so blood thirsty.

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

This is me, saying we're back on track.

Some melancholy here with hope for the future. If I had time, I would have added a bit more spooky. Maybe next time.

Next time, the Party games end.

Stay tuned.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

BOOM!

A small explosion slammed into the cube. Everyone flinched in surprise at the hit and moved away from it as quickly as they could.

Bakugou, however, narrowed his eyes. The smoke cleared and the strange cube was no worse for wear.

"That wasn't a strong hit but it's not even dented." He muttered.

"A little warning next time Bakugou!" Kaminari complained.

Ida had his arms out and legs tensed. If need be, he could evacuate everyone as quickly as possible. "What on earth is that thing!"

"Marco why did you bring that!?"

Oh. That reminded them. Their new friends knew what it was.

The red coat and red handed Marco was waving his hands defensively as he answered. "I was gonna bring it back to Quest Buy! It's been nothing but trouble since Star bought it! Plus she asked me too!"

"I asked that like months ago Marco!"

"We had to deal with Meteora, Hopper, AND the Black Hand! I forgot!" He shouted back.

The two girls paused.

Usagi grumbled. "Ok, that's a good reason. It's been a messy month."

"THE GAME SHALL NOW BEGIN." The party cube announced.

"Ya know, other than the creepy voice, it's kinda neat." Kaminari raised a finger to touch it again but Jirou put it down.

"Let's see if it can take a bigger blast." The resident bomb man was ready for round two.

"Bakugou, do not explode things in the house! For now, it doesn't seem hostile so let's not be reckless and damage property unnecessarily." Ida shouted, performing his Stop Man pose. Thanks to all the attention on him and his words, everyone started to calm down a little.

"So, violent are we?"

Everyone was on guard. No one made that declaration without trying to start a fight.

Suddenly it began to float. Electric blue energy coursed all over it, making the circuit like design come to life. Just before its calm blue changed to blood red!

"Oh god it's gone red! It's pure evil now!" Sero shouted before running towards the door.

He was too late though.

The red energy spread out and all over the room. It even bled through the walls and changed them. Now they looked like the cube. Not just the walls but the floors and the furniture.

Sero tried to go through the doors but couldn't. The knobs completely disappeared and there was no means of unlocking anything. "Guys, we're trapped!"

"I'm on it!"

"Let me help!"

"We'll apologize later!"

Mina, Sato, and Kirishima were up and at the wall. Acid trail and two types of super fists impacted the strange looking wall.

…And did nothing.

"The heck! What is this stuff?!"

"Usagi! How do we stop it!?"

"I don't think we can." She was keeping her eyes on the main cube.

"Todoroki!" Yaoyorozu called out.

" Not a good idea. If this thing can block quirks, it'll leave us in a frozen room and I doubt anyone wants the place chilled," He replied. "Same with a barbecued room."

"A startling reveal." Tokoyami commented. "What should we do?"

The Cube glowed ominously and made a declaration.

" Play the game True or Consequences be on you. The Players shall be:"

The cube spun around before a holographic display shown on its top. It changed four times to show off its players.

"Kaminari Denki."

"Uraraka Ocacho."

"Yuuga Aoyama."

"And Princess Usagi Miyamoto!"

"Princess?" Mina asked. "What, like real royalty?"

"Not the time, Mina!"

"Answer the three questions told to Thee and win the Game! But Lie through your teeth and what is yours, shall be Pain."

"I'm gettin the hell out! Everyone outta my way!" Mineta shouted, a newly obtained hammer in his hand.

"Wait! Wait!" Marco called out, getting the short student to stop. "It's not really THAT dangerous!"

They all looked at him like he was stupid.

"Marco hunny…" Star rebuffed.

"Ok, it can be dangerous but only if you lie about the questions asked. It's pretty much a crazy truth or dare but no dare. All you guys need to do is answer and we go free. Then we'll all promise to never speak of this ever again."

"But why do I have to do this again?" Usagi grumbled. "This is bull-"

"Language." Ida said.

It sounded like a sound plan. But it did leave the four teens with the possibility that embarrassing secrets would be out in the open. Kaminari and Aoyama looked nervous while trying to appear jovial. It was not working.

Ochaco kept a stiff face. She had one or two secretts she'd really like to not think about or get called on. She could already feel Mina's probing stare on her back but at least Midoriya wasn't here.

"Can't we just plug our ears?" Shoto asked.

The whole class blinked. Time came to a halt at the unexpected question.

"If it's important stuff like Marco said, then we don't need to hear it. Yaoyorozu can help with that right?"

The class and visitors just stared at him in silence.

"Hey evil cube, is that cool?" Sato asked.

"That is acceptable."

They sighed in relief.

"Except for the players. They have to hear it."

"Oh come o-"

-------

"Question one."

The four contestants were standing around the cube. Hands erect and ready to strike or run. Around them the rest of Class 2A and their guests stood ready too.

"Who..do…you look up to?"

They almost face faulted.

"Well that's a letdown." Mineta chimed in from the side.

"Hey! We said 'no listening'!" Ochaco shouted.

"It's got a screen to display the question!"

Turns out he was right. There was a screen letting everyone know what was asked.

"Hey wait! Then how do you know what I just said!?"

"Uhhh."

Mineta was looked over. Turns out his earplugs weren't in all the way.

After that little issue was fixed, it was time to answer.

"All Might, duh." Kaminari said.

"Oui. It has to be All Might."

"Mine's still Thirteen."

"The Green Scar."

"Correct." A welcoming little bell chime rang. The first round was over.

Kaminari asked, "Who's the Green Scar? Sounds like a heavy name."

"He's a hero back where I'm from. Super important to my family but not heard of around here." She smirked a little. "He's not a Rabbit but he's got the heart of one."

"Sounds neat. You got any cards with him on it?"

"I'll see about showing them later."

"Question two."

The display boarded flipped through its many many pages for a saucy prompt.

"Who…do you…have a crush on?

SUNNUVA CRAP!!

Ochaco froze in mortal terror. Of all the questions! Of all things that could come up in a stupid truth or dare game!

"Ochaco?" Usagi touched her shoulder.

"I-I'M FINE! TOTALLY!"

"Oh dang." Kaminari gaped. "You actually have a crush?"

"Oh ho ho!" Aoyama now had that knowing twinkle in his eye. My guess was correct!

Ochaco felt like floating away. Now if only she could. Stupid American game!

"ANyway, Moi has no one that makes my heart beat like that. Perhaps in time. Perhaps in time."

"Correct."

The others nodded and said the same thing. Next up…

"Well a guy like me is an appreciator of the ladies and man oh man, there are a lot of them at UA. Like you wouldn't believe…"

"Dude." Usagi deadpanned. The others were also waiting.

THe blonde coughed. His face became red as he tried very hard to not look off to the side, towards a certain someone. "Uhm, we're sure they can't hear us right?"

"They haven't yet." Usagi said.

"Ok then. Ok…" He tried to not look. Again. He failed. "It's Jirou."

"We knew that." Aoyama and Ochaco said.

"WHAT!?"

"That's the cool girl with the ears?" Usagi asked. She got confirmation from the other two. "Not bad, dude."

"Wait! WHen?! How!?"

"Next."

"We're just skipping over me!?"

Ochaco wished the comedy routine went on a little longer. It would have helped give her time to calm her beating heart and the redness in her cheeks.

Was she really going to say it? Out loud?

"I may or may not have had a crush on Star." Usagi suddenly said.

"Used to?" Kaminari looked very interested. Ocacho was thrown off by the sudden confession but she listened.

"It was kinda…awkward. Like a rivalry but we spent time together and I figured out she wasn't as bad as I thought. Marco did help being the point guy trying to get us to talk instead of kicking each other."

"But the flame of love did not bloom?" Asked Aoyama.

Usagi just paused and looked up into space. For a few moments.

"Lots of stuff happened." There was a lot left unsaid there but they figured it would be wrong to pry. "Plus she had it bad for Marco. I even shipped it so…"

That was understandable. And at least they were still friends.

And now, last but not least.

Ochaco sighed. She couldn't really calm down, even while holding her cheeks.

An image of Izuku came to her then. His plain smile and then his excited one.

And that gave her a little courage.

"Deku."

"Correct."

There was a bit of rejoicing. Kaminari had a look of an epiphany suddenly hitting him like a lightning bolt. Aoyama said nothing.

The twinkle in his eye was answer enough.

Usagi however, seemed to be thinking about something. She did pat Ocacho's shoulder and swear herself to secrecy. It was the least she could do.

"Twice you've answered true. Now let's see if three shall spell your doom!"

The four contestants had their game faces on.

"What…is…your relationship…with Izuku Midoriya?"

"We're friends." Said Kaminari.

"Oui."

"Yeah. Obviously."

"..."

They turned to the last contestant. The white Rabbit had a face like she had sucked a lemon.

"Crap." She muttered.

"Usagi?"

The hovering game cube was staring right at her. It knew that she didn't want to speak of this. That would endanger the secret she and her group were keeping from the rest. That was why she didn't tell a lie.

The moment she did, it would win.

Already its tendrils had worked through the red haze. In just a moment it would capture all those foolish teenagers and trap them. No matter how strong they were, it was stronger. It was near indestructible.

It was Magic.

Go on. Lie. Lie so that I can get that kill that was denied me. Truth or Consequences shall have its day! Do it! Lie!!

Usagi took a breath. And-

"Is it a love triangle?" Aoyama asked. "Is there another flower that blooms for Deku?"

"WHAT?!" SHe looked so disgusted. "EWWW! NO! THAT'S MY SUPER GREAT GRAMPA! GROSS!"

…

Silence.

"Oh Come on! "The Game cube wailed as the last correct answer was given. Its main hub flashing green. "This was supposed to be my time! My revenge on you brats! This isn't fair! This isn't FAIR!!"

Unfortunately that was all the time it was given. After the fifth celebratory flash, the personality was shut down. The cube floated in the air. The red energy keeping the teens inside the field changed from the oppressive red to calm blue and was absorbed back into it. Once the energy was gone, the box went dead and fell to the ground.

The group was quiet. THey stared at the cube, waiting to see what other dangers might be in there. Mineta had a hammer ready to break it.

Ching!

ANother compartment opened on the cube. There was a large plate with four slices of cake on it.

A ghostly 'Congratulations' appeared above the prize before evaporating.

"Wait, there was cake in there?" Star asked.

--------RGS--------

The Teachers had arrived on the scene the moment the red prison rose up. THere was a panic that it could have been a villain attack but they were professional and tried what they could to bring down the wall. Once Aizawa's eyes proved useless, they at least narrowed it down to a magical problem.

They called in Izuku immediately for his expertise but it proved to be unnecessary.

The moment he arrived, the magic prison disappeared.

"Huh. Talk about anti-climatic." Present Mic muttered.

The students were gathered in the main hall with their guests. The explanations were easy enough to comprehend and the cube was taken into custody. Right after they took a few more hammers to it of course.

"A truth or consequence game?" Izuku asked. "You couldn't shut it down beforehand?"

"Marco put in batteries and I guess Kaminari is a battery?" Usagi replied with a shrug. "Anyway, this was waaaaay easier than the last time. Even if it went for that stupid crush question."

"Ouch."

"And uh…I had to spill the beans."

"Oh…" That was a pickle.

"But don't worry! Star reminded me of that whole 'lying so hard we believe it thing' so I kinda had to lie and just say I lied. Pretty sure they bought it."

Izuku wasn't as sure. His friends were very smart. And yet, he didn't really mind if they did. He should be the one to tell them though. It was his secret.

But All Might and the Pros did ask him to keep quiet. At least until they had the preparations done for hunting down Shigaraki. He could see the point of that but…time doesn't really wait for people like that.

"So we've all been sworn to secrecy. Sorry Granpa but you're not getting secrets out of me."

Izuku chuckled. "Hehe. I'm not that interested. Secrets are secrets. People will talk about them in their own time."

----RGS----

Oh so she just made up a lie and made it think it was the truth? Neat. Wish I'd thought of that. Also please don't tell Jiro. Please?

Ochaco laid back in her bed. THings had finally calmed down enough and everyone was off to bed. Marco and Star and Usagi apologized but no one really blamed them. Nobody got hurt and they did have a fun time.

Momo did want to learn more about the evil cube but everyone vetoed that plan.

And yet the next day and school were the farthesting thing on her mind. It was what Usagi lied about. Or what she claimed she lied about.

Ochaco got up and went downstairs for something to drink. Everyone was in their rooms so the hallway was quiet at least.

THat is until she got downstairs and saw someone else getting something to drink.

"Hey Bakugou." she called. He was also getting something to drink. Orange juice.

He replied with a "Roundface."

One day she'd get him to say her name.

After getting her glass she was going back up to her room a-

"Hey."

"Hm?"

"That rabbit girl. She said she made up that part about her and Izuku."

"Yes." Not a question. He was just repeating what was said.

"She was lying."

Something she already felt was the case.

"But then what does it mean?" Ochaco asked. "She can't actually be Izuku's granddaughter. That's just silly."

"It's dumb as hell." He agreed. "But that doesn't mean it can't be true."

Ochaco didn't have a response to that. It would have to be something she'll think about. Could she even ask Deku?

Would he tell her the truth?

What even was the truth now?

But at least they had time to think about it. Time to get thoughts in order.

She could do that. She was a Hero.

---RGS----

Elsewhere…
The Next day…


The rumble of the mountain almost made them lose their footing. Collisions the size of houses barely hit them as they use all their strength to evade him. He manages to slam an aggrieved palm into the body of a Black Hand. They hit another one and another, taking three out of commission.

And yet the Decay doesn't stop attacking.

Decayed Hands.
Blood boiling Hands.
Knife wielding Hands.
Magic hands that shrink body parts.
Multiple Hands that try to overwhelm.

They don't bring Gigantomachia down. But he is becoming tired.

"Not long now…," Shigaraki laughed. He jumped on the rampaging giant's arm to score another hit. This battle would be over soon.

And then, he'd get back to crushing everything.

---RGS----

In an alleyway…


One moment things were calm.

The next, a tear opened up in the middle of nothing. Out of the tear flew a small figure donned in a black cloak. She slammed into the ground and laid there.

"Oww!" Siamal groaned. Her hood fell off showing small patches of dirt and what could only be described as rose petals stuck to her face. She coughed a little, spitting up even more petals. "Stupid living flowers."

The Septarian dusted herself off and finally realized something was off.

Nothing had attacked in nearly a minute. Plus the smell didn't smell like charcoal or the screams of far away monsters. She walked down the alleyway and peaked through the opening.

"Whoaaaa…" Her turquoise eyes grew big in wonder.

The colors.
The bright lights.

And the different monsters just walking the streets with mewmans.

"What is this place?"

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

And we are back! This one was hard to do. I tried to make it funny in aspects but I still like it overall.
The reveal had to be downplayed because well, Class 2a had to deal with a malfunctioning toy. Should they take a desperate 'truth' under duress for realsies? Or just accept a screw up happened

That said, a couple may be doubts. Like is Bakugou saw Bloody, his eyebrows may be gettin higher. And Ochaco now is on Usagi's radar. She aint no snitch but she'll maybe get her gramps and Ochaco to hang out. See what happens.

The last part was to put us back on the drama plain. Time for the villains to play.

Stay tuned and stay safe out there.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

Spoiler: Solaria Butterfly

The Monster Carver
The General
Queen of Mewni

Daughter of Skywynne Butterfly and sister of Jushtin Butterfly. On her fourteenth birthday, she was given he Wand and selected to be next Queen. In the building war between Mewnians and Monsters, she decided to summon a Champion to assist her campaign. That Champion was Izuku Midoriya, a Hero in Training from some place called Japan.

Initally she had a low opinion of Izuku but his strength and eagerness to help changed things. She did still think him a wimp for his crying years into their friendship. She was one of the few who bought his Knight and Boy memorabilia. By the age of eighteen, an incident happened between them and it begat a daughter, Eclipsa Butterfly. Solaria figured it out a couple of years later but had found a lover in Alphonse the Worthy.

Afterwards. a monster attack killed her Mother. This drove her war monger tendencies and began the construction of the Solarian Knights.

During her Last campaign, she lost Izuku and gained an enemy in the Green Scar. The similarities in their fighting style incensed her as she thought the monster was mocking her friend. After the founding of the Rabbit Kingdom, she found out they were one in the same and that Jushtin had aided him. She banished Justhin and covered it up with help of the Magic High Commission. With her last remaining friend and disciple, Mina Loveberry, she took the Fight to Izuku at Matching Hills of Jared and Harry.

The area was decimated. The fight ended in a draw. Solaria used the Wand Blade to cut a Butterfly scar in Izuku's chest. In turn, he broke her spine. The MHC rescued both from death but hid Izuku's imprisonment from the Queen. Solaria would live out the rest of her days in regret over her lost friend until the day she died.

If she had met with Vell, perhaps the vigor and hate would lead them to questioning if Izuku was really dead.

Spoiler: Vell the Rabbit

The Scar's Lover
First Rabbit Queen
Spiral Leg

A Rabbit Monster born in the disputed territories before Solaria's Reign began to bring Her War Against Monster campaign. Vell's village was the one that Izuku Midoriya discovered destroyed with just her and a few Rabbits left alive. She cried as she tried to attack Izuku in revenge but his kindness won her over.

Later, they met again when Izuku deserted the Butterfly Kingdom and was battling the Solarian Knights under a fake identity. The locals mistook him for a Rabbit Monster, much to Vell's irritation. Still she joined him and others in their band to defeat the Solarian Knights. For nearly a decade, they fought beside each other and grew to love each other. They had a litter of children, Roger the Second the eldest of them. On the eve of Izuku's final Fight with Solaria, they shared one last kiss.

When he didn't return, Vell assumed leadership of the Rabbit Kingdom and allowed the ceasefire between The Butterflies and the Rabbits. The next decade into the Peace almost ended when Mina Loveberry and a surviving Solarian Knight slew the Youngest of Vell and Izuku's children, with Vell giving her life to harm Mina.

Vell would never learn that Izuku was still alive, incased in Crystal. If she had met Solaria before the latter's death, perhaps a much deeper look into Izuku's supposed death would have happened.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

"-So maybe something to reinforce the shin guards." Izuku explained to Mei Hagakure.

They were in the development studio going over Izuku's costume. He'd gotten lucky that his usual one had managed to fit when he went back to Mewn in it. However, a change up was going to be needed. He couldn't depend on random age ups and downs forever.

"Ahhh. Yeah I can see that. So you're looking for something to dampen the impact on yourself or something with less speed resistance?"

"SOunds good."

"This oughta be neat to do! It'll be a little while before I can get to it since I have other orders though."

"I can wait, Mei. And about the measurements-"

"Oh yeah!" She was suddenly right next to Izuku's face. Much as she usually did when the two talked. Or when she talked to people in general regarding orders.

Izuku did flinch a little but he didn't move back or look away.

"I can handle the adjustments needed for these new measurements you gave me but if there's any issues I need you to let me know!"

"Oh trust me, I will. Wouldn't want to have them rip on me in a fight."

"You don't have to worry about that. You're surprisingly built despite how plain you look." She offhandedly complimented.

Izuku didn't really catch it though.

"Hmm. This is actually not that much taller than you are now, actually." She commented.

Izuku made a face.

Once the business was done, he left with a date for his new clothes and some free time. That is until tomorrow. Tomorrow there will be patrols!

Despite the loss of his spot at the Nighteye Agency, there were other hero agencies looking for new interns. They may be temporary but they got him outside and walking around. Something he was in desperate need of.

He paused to look out the window. The trees were changing, going from green to auburn. Soon it was gonna be the end of the year. Once upon a time it would mean the end of his first year at UA.

Feels like a lifetime ago now. Even before he got taken to Mewni, his school year was insane. Izuku knew that it would entail surpassing All Might and becoming a new symbol of peace.

But then…

White hair and hateful red eyes hidden behind what looked like a Hand prop.

Izuku's fist tightened.

Settle down. He took a breath to get himself under control. He'd been getting antsy lately.

That's because you're wasting precious time. A ghostly voice piped up.

Izuku paused. He spotted a bench nearby and took a seat. Better to be sitting than just standing when he was in a mind conference.

He closed his eyes and concentrated. When he opened them, he was in the dark void of his mind again. The granite table and the chairs were back with each member of One For All sitting in their respective seats, save for All Might.

But that also meant that odd door was here too.

It was still closed and locked. Something he would need to speak to Star about later.

"Let me guess…," Nana started things off. "...Another night of grumbling about going Vigilante?"

"It's also being proactive. With our skills and even the Magic Princesses help, we should be able to find Shigaraki easily. That seeing eye spell-"

"Star's already said no." Izuku spoke up. "She's said that spell only led to trouble for her. If she thinks we're better off, then we are."

"It's also in your daughter's part of the book. And considering how versatile and strong she is-"

"It's part of the darker spells." Izuku narrowed his eyes. "It doesn't matter if we can pay the cost, we're not doing it."

"Let's not. Unicorns and such are nice but my chest still itches from Solaria's blast. ALL our chest itch from it. Not to mention that Toffee guy did a number on that Magic unicorn place when he was mucking things up. Yeah I know Star fixed it up but the way she described it was…ugh." Banjou shuttered.

Toffee's melting and insane ravings was the stuff of nightmares.

"So considering how weird we are, you really wanna add our funky powers to magic?"

"Especially after Mina Loveberry." Yoichi added.

Everyone flinched when the reminder came to them. Mina's fists of fanatical Magic had burned the butterfly scar. They needed something to counter that.

The third user, Bruce, nodded. "Well at least we have a counter with the Princess. She's the only one packing 'good magic' so we need her. Plus her and yer Grankid already have that teamwork thing down."

That was a good point. Izuku nodded to that but made a face.

"You don't want Usagi anywhere near Mina, right Izuku?" He nodded to Nana's question.

"She won't."

Old memories flowed around them. Of a purple haired young woman being brought into a circle of friends. A red Queen saw a strength in the girl and the courage to do what needed to be done. A green Knight saw himself in the girl, someone weak that wanted to be more to be more, especially when they found someone who believed in them.

"We'll make sure she won't."

"Remember Izuku: we can't change the past nor can we control where people's paths will go. Even if the start is similar, that's all it is." The fourth user Hikage Shinomori said, bringing the other man's attention to him.

Izuku nodded but didn't say more.

"We should focus on tactics to secure Mina. After she's dealt with, Shigaraki wll lose a big valuable piece."

A good decision. Mina's strengths were a problem. Perhaps they needed to bring her back to Mewni to level the playing field. There was Rhombulus of course.

"--zuku?"

Someone was calling him.

He blinked and returned to the real world. In front of him-

"Whoa!" He jumped back seeing a pair of luscious skin tight boobs right in front of him. He looked up and saw the smiling face of Midnight the R rated Hero looking down on him.

"Hahaha. Sorry. I didn't even mean to do that!" She waved off his jolt. "I just saw you staring into space with a frown. You alright?"

"Uh, yeah! I'm ok. Sorry Miss Midnight."

"Hehe. Despite being older than me, yer callin me Miss?"

"I uh…I don't know. I mean I'm a teenager again-"

"Lucky duck."

"-plus there's propriety to worry about. I do still think of you and the other Pros as my teachers despite the time gone by. An-"

He got a clap on his shoulder for his blushing mess. "Jeez. Calm down, old man. I was just teasing"

That did not help with his mental image of himself.

"Anyway, I was gonna do some coursework and get some lunch. Mind hanging with me for a bit?"

"I don't mind bu-"

"Great. Come along!" She had him by the shoulder and was bringing him along to a conference room. Midoriya was so startled he just let it happen.

Inside his mind, the vestiges chuckled.

Just like with that Vell woman. Banjou commented. Though he was a bit jealous.

---RGS---


That night…
In the city…

The music was intoxicating. People bounced and moved to the beat, letting inhibitions fall away and just let themselves have fun.

So much like the Bounce Lounge before it shut down. And with less floor spikes. At least that's what her Mother described it. That's where she met her Father and bought him into the Black Hand.

Siamala appreciated the lack of spike. That always sounded like a dumb addition to her. The ones with no wings would be screwed.

So when she discovered this place, Danda Donburi, the young scaly woman did what a young woman would do.

She danced.

Her tail was a bit of an issue but she danced.

"You're a great dancer!" A guy came up and spoke to her over the heavy quick beat going on. He was a lanky teen with beady almost reptilian eyes and short hair.

"I like your eyes!" She replied in kind.

He liked that.

The dance continued on. They got a little closer and considered going to more parties.

This place is amazing! I need to take Lord Spinner here and take it over. I can already see us dancing the night away!

I can't wait!!

----RGS----

"Ugghhh."

"Anything wrong, Knight Spi-"

"Not our codenames or actual names." Spinner said quickly. His eyes darted around to keep an eye out for any heroes on patrol or a cop.

They were in the bad neighborhood areas so the chances of meeting them were high. Not to mention, the more rough customers may try to start something.

Suffice to say, the proclaimed "Knight" was on eggshells.

"But we have gifted you a glamour. None know your true face."

It was true. He was given a normal looking face and managed to keep his red hair. Though the eye bags and the scarf did give off an odd otaku look that just got off a midnight to early afternoon anime watch.

That gave the gecko quirk user mixed feelings.

"But I do understand your frustration a little." This Black hand was a guy with a more square shaped head but still looked undoubtedly human. Not from the same plain as mewnians from what he knew. His name was Dolno. "The call of battle has been stirring in our camp. The need to spread the Lord's will makes one most antsy."

"Not sure about that. I do have a job to do."

"Pray tell?"

"Before I joined Shi-the Boss," and didn't that just make him feel odd to call Shigaraki that. "My goal was to enact the hero Killer's will. Next thing I know I get isekaid and had to fight for my life."

"Such things are common in the realms. I'm almost shocked if it's rarity here."

"It's not that rare."

Memories of certain hate groups made sure he'd never forget that.

Dolno nodded. "Worry not. The time is nigh."

The less said about battling the mountain dog the better.

"Now if you can, please tell me more of this man that brought you to the path of a warrior. He was a part of your group before the Green Scar got him, correct?"

---------

"If I didn't see it myself, I wouldn't have believed it. You really got your hand back." said Giren before he took a small sip of his drink.

Giren was a broker and lawyer-type for the League of Villains. Working with the myth of Shigaraki and Stain being teammates, he managed to amass some clientele to join the burgeoning group in its first iteration.

When the disappearance of Izuku Midoriya happened, he wondered if they were the cause. Since they were underground at the moment he would not receive an answer till now.

Magic was not one he was expecting.

"Yes. All thanks to Izuku Midoriya and his old flame." Compress chuckled under his own disguise. Not a glamour but a dash of makeup and hair dye instead.

He had to keep his skills fresh.

The magician villain nearly reached for his drink with his bandaged but stopped himself. All that training to keep ambidextrous and he was falling into bad habits.

Giren's eyes followed the hidden appendage. Considering how much smaller it was… "The hand was surprising. Kinda creepy though."

"Tell me about it. Healing magic is useful but regrowth has been…disquieting. But I should have it back in days. Perhaps with my quirk in it too."

"So no more robotic hand? Shame. I coulda cut you a deal on a robot punch."

"Well I would like to return the old one. It served me well but it was a little busted."

"Say no more." Giren's phone rang. With a quick pardon, he checked his messages. "Hm. A new client."

"It's good to see business still booming for the young. Our little soiree took so long back there. Years for some. Nearly a decade for our proud leader."

"And yet it's only been a month and change. Guess it's time for me to get back to recruitment eh?"

Compress smirked. "Considering our new friends, we may be up to capacity soon. Speaking of, would you like to join full time?"

"I like you guys but I prefer our arrangement. Besides, I'd be a poor clergyman. Money's the only thing I believe in."

They both laughed.

They talked a little more before deciding to go their separate ways. Plus it was shopping night for the League and Spinner had been chosen to get groceries this time.

Unbeknownst to them, there was another set of eyes watching the bar.

"Subject found. No sign of League agents, just more low level Villains. Should we intercept, Lady Curious?"

"No. Just make note of them in case we do another recruitment drive. Keep to Subject Giren. He'll be meeting our operative soon. Make it quick and quiet."

"Understood."

-----RGS-----

There was a ringing sound coming from somewhere.

Siamala blinked. "What?"

She looked around. The sound was faint but she could still hear it. And it was irritating.

When she followed this guy to his home, she expected some food before she ultimately ditched him after taking what she needed of him. It was a nice little home, save for the dirty clothes.

The dragon-like girl's non-existent ears tried to find where the sound was coming from. She searched the cupboards, the refrigerator, and under the bed. All the places that usually housed interesting things.

"Where the heck is…" She blinked.

Slowly, she figured it out.

She turned her head and finally clicked that it was coming from the guy. He probably wouldn't be answering it, considering his unconscious form. He'd probably be more concerned about the pains across his body.

Siamal patted his pockets and found the device. It was like a mirror but odder. Nothing to place over it to cover the glass.

"Is this a scrying mirror?" She wondered. She put a finger on it and tried to get it to work. It did not and it kept ringing. After three tries, she accidentally swiped it. The screen changed and an interesting D picture turned on. A little box popped up, red stars flashing on it.

"Must be important." She muttered.

Turns out it must be. It gave directions and a missive to go meet with a target. Tomorrow at midday.

Siamal pondered this. This had nothing to do with her and she should just leave before she would have to battle the Knights of this realm. She had a job and a calling to get to.

…Buuuut what if this was a sign?

It looked interesting. Perhaps this was a way to get to an apothecary or informant. If she could find the seedy underbelly, she would be a step closer to finding her lord. THen she could reconnect him with the rest of their army!

She could be a Herald!
Siamala, The Black Herald!

She was so giddy at the idea! She was practically skipping and jogging in place.

"Ooooooh! I'm so excited!!" The Black Hand mage cheered.

"Thank you very much for your help!" She waved to the man she met the night before. "I'll be going now to find my destiny! Maybe we'll see each other again!"

"Oh!" She paused on her way out. "And thanks for your eyes!"

The lanky reptilian quirk man did not reply.

Sometime later, he would be discovered by his next door neighbors. It was from his screaming and cries of being blind.

---

Spoiler: Author's Note

Time for a battle! Siamala-chan is off to rock the boat!

The Villains are almost done with their dumb raid challenge. Man are they gonna be surprised to see a member of their new group wreaking havoc. And what will the heroes do with this new menace?

Stay tuned.

 

[Kalem_Lee]

It was a grisly scene, despite the lack of blood.

The room was in shambles. The tussle had to be short so as to not invite suspicion but also require someone with a lot of strength. No money or other valuables was taken though the fridge was emptied out.

As for the victim…

"He'll live." Said an officer. "After all the screaming, he fainted from the stress and shock. Aside from the missing eyes, his injuries were light. From on sight analysis, they were removed with an act of skill. Little to no scarring on the skull and the blood spots may have come from them."

The guy shivered. "Still this is messed up."

"I agree." The Hero on the scene was taking his own notes. Talla and muscular with light green hair. The white mask hid his face and thoughts and his gatling gun wrists would fit the profile of a brusk action movie like hero but his manner of speaking was calm and friendly. This was Gunhead.

"Considering how long it took to find the victim, we can deduce the attacker is lying low. It could be a case of a quirk going wrong but the missing organs makes things difficult." The officer took more notes and gave them to a second cop to pass around. "Since we haven't had any other reports in the area, we're hoping to apprehend them peacefully. Please be on the lookout, Mr. Gunhead."

"The Gunhead agency is at the police's disposal. I and the interns will make a canvas of the first few blocks for an hour. If we find anything, we'll contact you immediately."

"Thank you." The officer looked over the Hero's shoulder. "Good call on keeping the young heroes outside. I'm still getting the heebie-jeebies from seeing the damage."

"Sadly, they'll see it sooner or later. For now, we just need them focused on finding the suspect."

"As you say."

Gunhead nodded and walked over to the front door. Outside the usual crowd were gathered to see what new commotion had popped up after the Bakery incident and small scale robberies going on. The police had a barricade up and were doing a fine job of keeping the peace.

Hopefully the news won't play up the incident worse than it already has.

The ambulance was ready to leave so at least that was taken care of.

Gunhead walked over to where his group was gathered.

"We'll be patrolling the area. A printout of the suspect will be given soon so be sure to memorize them as best you can. If you see them, alert the pro heroes and hang back." He announced.

In front of him were three teenagers.

One was a tall one wearing a scarf mask. His notable features were the multiple arms sprouting under his main ones.

The second was a plain blond young man with a tail. He was dressed as a martial artist.

"Tentacle Hero: Tentacole. Martial Arts Hero: Tailman."

The two stood straight.

"Stay safe and protect the civilians. Let's work hard."

"Yes sir!" Ojiro said, with a bead of sweat going down his cheek.

Shuji nodded. "We're on it."

---RGS----

In Tartarus…

The demonic figure didn't shift from his chair. His infrared quirk was in fine form today as well. If he moved the wrong way, he'd be shot down.

An annoyance but in his old and decrepit state, it could spell the end.

But what awoke him was that feeling. That familial connection could only be one thing.

"Ahhh. Younger brother, you've finally reappeared." All for One sighed.

It was good to know that his sibling was back to full strength. For months, he was so far away that the former Demon King thought he'd been killed or sealed away somehow. All for One almost became so curious he started planning how to leave. But with Yoichi's return that wasn't needed.

And yet…

"You've changed…" Eyebrowless mass that used to be a face creased. He was frowning. "Something's different. You feel…older? My, my. What adventures have you been having…?"

Curiosity only grew, along with his smile.

---RGS-----

The alleyways were starting to get larger the more she traveled inward. Siamala found them to be convenient and let her move faster than she could walking out in the open. Her cloak, for one, would be too much of an eye catcher.

She needed a moment before she could reveal herself to these Mewmans.

My heraldry shall shake the foundations of this new world. She thought as she pulled the hood of her cloak. It may invite suspicion later if she's caught but the simple fact is, if they don't catch her she's fine.

Siamala came across a few long back alley gates following the advice on the device she got from that guy. It was easy to get past thanks to her wings. She did think about going up to the rooftops and flying from there but that would expose her waay too much. In addition to the Giants that roamed this land, it wasn't worth it.

She did wind up with a new problem.

"Where the hell is this dot going?!" She yelled as she tried to make heads or tails or which way was North and such.

So entrenched in trying to match the dot and her location, she didn't even realize she was walking back out to the main streets.

"Excuse me?"

"Hm?" Siamala looked up. Some other mewman was standing in front of her. He had some metal plating in his ears despite his short and mostly shaggy head.

Actually his ears were literal metal. Interesting.

"Are you lost? Do you need help?"

Surprisingly, he was a wealth of information. She thanked him for his help in guiding her to the appropriate building…which was just a few feet away from her. When it came time for a new Hand Party, she would petition her lord to make him an honorary member.

The building itself was fairly large and carried the scent of alcohol and minimum cooking in the back. A tavern if there ever was one. She liked the milk white sign and the burgundy structure. It reminded her of the homestay her family and group set up just before she began her solo pilgrimage. They had made it their own after taking it from the previous dwellers.

The Pigeon Bikers were haughty but strong adversaries. She learned a lot that day.

Siamla entered the bar.

It was, thankfully, not cramped.

Just about three people in the room so far. Two of them were workers behind the counter.

The other…

"Hmmm? This is interesting." The blond man said. He was looking her up and down. Not in the mate way but as an opponent. "You don't seem like the person I was expecting."

"If you're talking about the phone guy, I took his phone and came here. I want to know what work you do."

"Well that's brazen. I'm just here waiting for a friend."

"Oh." Siamala deflated. "Then do you know where the Apothecary is? Or the local Knowledge man? I'm searching for my lord and I can't afford to waste time in this weird place."

He hummed. He took a moment to take a bite of his meal before speaking. "Well I can at least refer you to someone. If you can pay the fee, of course."

"I do have a few jewels I can part with." SHe took one out of her pocket. The small red bauble was from a Lava Dimension, one her Mother visited in their expedition. Ordinarily, it would be worthless to the Black Hand but since their influence hadn't expanded that far, currency was needed.

The man took it. "Could you give me a moment?"

Rio Kiichi stood across the street.

The metal eared young man had been monitoring the conversation going on in the restaurant for the past few minutes. The Meta Liberation Army had been eyeing Mr. Giren for days but had difficulty securing him.

There was a chance he was on to them. If so, they needed to hurry and apprehend him. He was the key to getting the League of Villains.

One of their agents was supposed to meet him and apply a tracker for a late night snatch and grab. Unfortunately, something happened to him.

And now Rio knew.

"Lady Curious, the Dragon woman was the one who took out Iga." Rio said into a secret transmitter.

"Really? Well that's another mystery solved. Shame we couldn't get the security tapes before the Heroes did but it seems luck is on our side. " The leader in charge said. She made a note of it to send to Redestro. "Keep watching them. We'll claim them both once the other squad shows up."

"Yes, Ma'am." He changed the frequency and returned to the original one.

Giren had seen many a jewel in his work. He could find impurities and determine the value like the best of them. Even the so-called diamonds given off by Quirks, and let me tell ya, those were coveted in the Shadow world. There was no actual basis on how to get the best cut produced by a quirk. Not even Quirk marriages could determine which one would give the right set of genes for potency.

And yet, the gem he was given was far off the cuff. He could see it was a decent cut, maybe worth some triple zeroes. But he couldn't identify where it had come from or what it was.

Hmm. Now isn't that interesting. He put the gem on the table. Good way to assure first timers and keep them from suspecting a surprise.

"Now then, you said you were looking for someone right? Well I can provide some help there." He put on his best charming smile. "Any descriptors? A name?"

Siamala brightened up. She stood with aplomb and spread her arms out as if to hug someone in her glee! "He is the Lord of the Black Hand! With his decaying grasp, the monarchies of the rotten worlds will break! I seek my Lord! Lord Shigaraki!"

Ryu Kiichi spat out a drink of water.

---------

Giren blinked.

"My, my" He said as the words registered. His smile never left his face as his eyes got sharper. "That's a new way to describe the new leader of the league of villains! Well I think I can scrounge up some info. If you don't mind waiting here, I need to make a call."

"Very well!" She sat back down. "...Can I have something to drink?"

---RGS---

"What?!" Compress yelled as he broke off from the battle. He managed to dodge the collateral damage of a huge rock slamming into his face.

But that had been the worst of it lately. It was proof that Shigaraki's plan of wearing the giant brute down was bearing fruit. He'd been getting more breaks, more time to lick his wounds and renew the test. The League had done the same but with less time.

Plus Mina's insanity, loathe the faux magician to admit it, had helped.

He jumped and backflipped back to where the non fighter Black Hands were on standby.

"You have a call, Sir Compress. Your informant partner." Boggle said.

"Oh. Thank you." He took the phone and answered. "Yes, Giren?"

He listened to the call…and blinked. "Pardon?"

The call repeated.

"Oh…hehehehe."

"Sir?"

The mask of Compress made his expression difficult to interpret but the shaking of his shoulders and the giggling was a major hint. The hint became an answer when he burst out laughing.

He was laughing so hard the other Lieutenants caught on.

"Mr. Compress, are you alright?" Called out Toga.

"Better than alright, Ms. Toga!" He then turned to the jumping Shigaraki. "Hey Shigaraki!"

"Yeah!?"

"It seems that luck or magic is truly on our side today! A Black Hand from Mewni has finally arrived!"

Shigaraki paused for a moment, which made him an easier target. Gigantomachia swiped at him three times. The white haired villain did manage to dodge two outta three but a glancing blow sent him to the ground. Hard.

"Protect the Lord! Put the giant to sleep!" Rivamarina commanded.

The other Black hands moved to form a loose circle around the Giant Quirk Villain. It was only thanks to them not being his target that he spared them no mind. They did have to make sure they didn't get stomped to death, however.

Once they were in formation, the Black hand called upon their magic and set to make the biggest sleep spell they could muster. The magic shot from their hands and slammed into Gigantomachia. With this many mages working together, the combined mass of the spell would be deadly to anyone normal.

But Gigantomachia proves he's more monster than normal.

He's still able to move despite the sleep overcoming him. Both his mountain sized fists came together, ready to deliver a hammer style blow to literally break Shigaraki and the very earth he stands on. The Beast raised them high…!

But he fell on his back.

The ground shook as he tumbled down and into unconsciousness. Most of the league was sent to their knees by the shockwave, including all of the Black Hand. The magical cost put them out of commission.

Spinner managed to get to his knees first. "Sigh. Damn good thing about debuffs." He then called out. "I think we got half an hour at best, Shigaraki!"

The Decay Quirk user was taking a seat. Once more covered in bruises but a healing spell would cover it. But his fatigue was another matter.

"Dammit. I ain't gettin up anytime soon." He groaned. "Damn random missions. But if it is one of the hands, we gotta get them before the Heroes do. Toga, Twice. Go with Compress."

"What about Me?!" Mina shouted from behind a tree. Only her legs were visible since she was thrown into it.

"Still need you here!"

"Well Fine!"

"If you guys are goin, you may need this." Spinner walked over to Toga and handed her a small round compact. "Throw it and it stuns people. I only have one since we left before I could get more. It should at least save your butts a little."

"Nothing for me? I'm hurt, Spin. I thought we were bros!" Twice complained with mock droopy arms. "Meh. I'm good without it."

"If the gang is ready, le-"

A loud crash was heard. Not from nearby but from the Magician thief's phone. Sounds and various voices could be heard but no words were able to be pieced together.

And suddenly, the line went dead.

"Let's move." Compress said. Boggle was on hand for a quick use of magic.

One moment the three villains were with Shigaraki. The next, they were gone
