Chapter Fourteen: Announcing the Search

"Dad?" A young five year old Izuku Midoriya started to speak with uncertainty in his voice, looking away from the ice cream that his father had bought him.

"Hmm?" A rather tall man hummed out with interesting, looking down at the young child sitting on his lap with wonder as to what his son wanted to ask of him. The man somewhat stood out compared to everyone else within the park, wearing a plain black suit with a white shirt underneath it compared to the casual clothing that those around him would wear. The upper half of his face wasn't very visible at the moment, being cast in shadows. What stood out the most however was his short white hair which was a stark contrast to his messy dark green haired son.

The father and son duo were currently out and about, being near the park that Izuku normally hanged out in when he was able too, the two sitting on a bench. The young Midoriya rarely had time with his father, mainly due to how busy he tended to be working all over the place. So this was one of the few times in recent years that his dad was able to spend time with him and his mom. The boy didn't blame his dad for being so busy, knowing that he was working hard to provide for both him and his mom.

"What is it Izuku? Something on your mind?" The gentle voice from the white haired man asked to his son, who looked a bit nervous from what he was about to ask, unsure if his dad may find what he might ask odd or dumb.

Hesitating for a moment, the dark green haired boy looked back up at his dad's face before speaking.

"Has… has there never really been a Quirkless hero before?" He couldn't help but ask, since his dad was usually very smart and knew a lot about all kinds of stuff.

The black suited man sighed before looking down at his child, a small frown forming on the man's face as he did so.

"You're still thinking if it's possible to be a hero without a Quirk?" The man responded despite already knowing the answer. Even though it's been a year since the doctor diagnose Izuku as Quirkless, the boy had been told by many that he was living a foolish dream. That without a Quirk he couldn't do anything. Something that had rather pissed the man off, who made sure to do his best to… fix… a few of these problems that plaque his little one.

"Mhm…," Izuku muttered out now looking down to the ground finding it interesting, all while still sitting in his father's lap with ice cream in hand, "You're really smart and mommy always says you know about lots of stuff. So… I was just curious if, since when Quirks popped up, if someone who didn't have one managed to ever become a hero…"

"Izuku," The white haired man started to say, patting his child on top of the head in an affection manner like a father would to his son as he did so, "Both your mother and I have told you, a Quirk does not make the hero, a person does. It doesn't matter that there's none without a Quirk that has yet join such a profession, but if you really wish to become one, Quirkless or not, we'll support you the whole way."

"Really?" Izuku asked with a bit of hope in his eyes. He knew that his dad wasn't a bit fan of heroes, though the five year old wasn't really sure why, tends to look more grumpy when they would be brought up in a conversation, especially if All Might was involve, so the dark green haired child was hoping that despite his father's unusual distain for heroes he would support him no matter how impossible it maybe due to not possessing a Quirk.

"Of course, what kind of father would I be if I didn't support my son?" The man responded with a small smile forming on his face, ruffling the small boy's hair which got him to laugh a little. Seeing the boy laugh happily always brought a smile to the man's face, he hated seeing his child down and depressed, which had become a lot more common in the past year since his diagnosis to be Quirkless.

Picking up the boy and putting him down onto the spot on the bench next to him, the man stood up before looking down at his son once more, a small smile still on his face.

"Come on now, let us go home. I'm sure your mother is waiting for us." The white haired man told his son, knowing that his beautiful and kind wife would no doubt be wondering where they are at this point.

Izuku merely nodded happily before he jumped down from the bench before walking and standing by his dad, his ice cream still in hand to which he proceeded to finish as the two started to head home.

As they left the park and were close to their little abode they called home, the white haired man looked down at the young dark green haired boy whose gaze looked around them as he walked by his father's side before the suited man spoke.

"Izuku." He started to say, getting Izuku's full attention once more as his green eyes looked up at his dad.

"Yes dad?" He replied back with curiosity.

"Hypothetically, if you were to be able to get a Quirk and could choose what it could be, what kind of Quirk would you want?" His father asked of him, somewhat surprising yet puzzling the young boy.

Nevertheless, hearing this question got the five year old to think as he thought hard on it. If he could pick any Quirk to have? That was hard, there were so many types of Quirks out there. Sure he wouldn't mind something like his mom's small telekinesis Quirk, or his dad's fire breathing Quirk, but if he could choose any Quirk? He has so many options. Maybe if he could, he could have flying? Flying was pretty cool. Or maybe-?

He came out of his thoughts when he felt his father cease his movement, causing him to stop walking before he looked up to his father only to be puzzled by his rather shocked expression forming on his face.

"Dad?" Izuku spoke up in confusion and slight worry from the look his father had on his face. Why was he making such an expression? Puzzled, Izuku looked up ahead like his dad was…

…Only for his own eyes to widen in shock and horror.

What the two were seeing? Smoke far in the distance no doubt caused by a large fire could be seen by the two of them, with sirens also being heard faintly in the air...

…In the direction of where their home was at.

"Inko!" Izuku heard his father exclaimed with worry in his tone, before the young child felt his dad pick him up quick before he bolted towards where the smoke was at in an extremely fast paste. If it weren't for the fact that Izuku knowing that his dad had a fire breathing Quirk, he would guess that his dad had a speed based Quirk considering how fast they were going.

Because of that, it hardly took them long before they arrived onto the scene, the sight which would haunt the young Quirkless Midoriya for life.

Before him and his father, the apartment building that they and his mother lived in was completely se ablaze, the intense heat radiating from the monstrous flames could be felt even from their current spots away from the burning building. Multiple Pro-Heroes were on the scene as well as numerous police and medical officers, police cars and ambulances around the area as well.

"MOM!" Izuku shouted in absolute worry, getting out of his father's grip before hitting the group, yet that barely fazed the now worried and horrified child as he ran towards the burning building.

"Izuku!" He heard his father shout out, yet the boy didn't pay any attention as he continued to bolt towards the burning building.

He was stopped however as a couple Pro-Heroes, who saw the young five year old trying to make his way towards the burning apartment building, moved to block his path.

"Child! Stay away! It's dangerous to get too close!" One of them exclaimed to the young child. Normally Izuku would be ecstatic to see heroes in the flesh, however his worry and fear for his mother overtook everything at the moment as he tried to get around the two to no valid.

"MY MOM! IS MY MOM SAFE?!" The child shouted in utter worry, tears starting to form in the young child's eyes.

His father appeared right behind him before he confronted the two heroes, a look of utter rage forming on the man's face to the point that even the two heroes before him found themselves frozen in utter terror for a brief moment.

"My wife! Is she alright?!" Izuku's father demanded to know, having picked up his now worried and fearful son while the two heroes tried to compose themselves.

"There are still people within the building! We're working as fast as we can to get everyone out in-!" One of them started to say.

*BOOM*

Only for a rather large explosion from somewhere within the building to set off, causing a large shockwave that nearly knocked everyone, from heroes, police officers, medical agents, people who were rescued from the building so far, down as they turned around only to see much of the building having collapsed with the little that remained standing still set ablaze.

Time seemed to freeze for the young Midoriya as tears went down his face, now struggling to get out of his father's grip to reach out for the wreckage burning remains of the apartment building before them all, his heart breaking as he realized what happened as he let out one large cry of utter heartbreak a five year old could wail out.

"MOM!"

Eyes of a certain white suited All for One wielding Izuku Midoriya slowly opened as the memory faded from his mind. The villain letting out a groan as he tried to collect his bearings.

"Ugh… haven't dreamed about that in a while…" AfO-Izuku muttered as he let out a yawn, trying to recall what had happened earlier. The last thing he remembered was that stupid Magician version of himself having unleashed some kind of pink smoke towards his direction when he tried to leave the building, now he was waking up here.

He gained a puzzled expression as he quickly realized something was… off. He tried to make any movements only to find himself seemingly stuck in place, as if something was wrapped around him to prevent him from any sort of movement.

'Wait, why can't I move?' AfO-Izuku realized mentally, wondering what was going as his caution grow. And so, he looked downed at himself… only to gain a tick mark from what he was witnessing.

Somehow, he had numerous chains wrapped around him as he stood upright thanks to a bunch of ice that froze his legs in place. And to add insult to injury a piece of paper was taped to his chest that said 'THE BEAST IS SLEEPING. DO NOT DISTURB'.

Naturally, the All for One-Quirk user got pissed off rather quickly.

"That f**king Magician…" He gritted through gritted teeth realizing that his current position was most likely that idiot's doing. He barely knew him yet he already hated his Magic wielding counterpart with a passion.

Not wasting time, activating his Hell-Flame Quirk he quickly melted the chains off of him as well as the ice while burning the paper that was taped to him. Deactivated the Quirk he stole from his own Endeavor back in his own reality, the dark green haired white suited teen patted his shoulders to get any left over ashes off of him before he grumbled to himself once more.

"I'm going to kill that stupid robed me once I see him." He promised, refusing to let the act of Magician humiliating him like this.

As he approached the door of the dorm room he was in in what he figured was still the Class 1-A dorm building, opening the way into the hallway that led to the stairs, his mind drifted back to the dream and memory that he had before waking up. His frown growing from the thought while anger rose within him, recalling that fateful day.

It was on that accursed day, the day that his mother, one of the only two people who truly cared and loved him despite his former Quirklessness, was taken from him. The day that his hatred for villains formed and remained with him to this very day. Apparently, some group of villains had appeared on the news a few days after the incident claiming responsibility for the attack. From what he could finally remember, these freaks figured out who his dad was and decided to hurt his father by attacking where he lived, by attacking his family which this case was his mother to act as if they were the top dogs of the villain underworld.

Their mutilated corpses were discovered the very next day.

Of course, as a child by that point he didn't know that it was his dear old dad behind their deaths, yet the child didn't care at the time who was behind it, he was just thankful that those bastards got that they deserved. His only lament is that he didn't get to see them breathe their final breaths in person.

His fists clutched tight as his anger continued to swell within his very being. From that day onward he only had his father, the only other one who cared and loved him… until the day he was taken from him as well. This time, by the very heroes he once looked up too.

In a way, that day was both a blessing and a curse. He lost his father who at that point was the only who cared about him. Yet the loss of both of his parents was the final nail in the coffin, the utter anguish of losing them bringing out the very power he now wields.

'And now… there are other versions of myself… those who didn't have to deal with the pain and anguish that I had to endure.' AfO-Izuku thought as his anger only grew once more as his expression formed a scowl. It wasn't fair. Sure he didn't know the full stories of these other versions of himself like Scar-Izuku who was the first he met and had to be dragged along with, but no matter what, it was obvious that luck still shined on them no matter what f**ked up world they came from. They had loved ones who believed in them, and gifted with the power he no doubt knew it was One for All, the only Quirk he couldn't forcefully take when he tried to get it from All Might before killing the bastard.

Yet he himself? He was casted aside by everyone except his parents, both who were now long dead, both slaughtered by the hands of both villains and heroes. Left all alone in a world that hated him because he was originally born powerless. Because he was born normal.

His goals haven't change despite the current situation he was in. He would slay this demon that brought him, Scar-Izuku, Broku, Magician and any other alternate double that might have found a way here. Then he will kill the heroes and villains here before returning to his home. This he vowed.

Arriving at the stairs and walking down it, he was greeted with the sight of the main living area and kitchen filled with activity. Everyone seemed to be up and occupied with different things for the time being.

Moving his gaze around the area, he spotted this world's version of himself sitting at the couch alongside his scar covered counterpart, both sitting with Ochaco, Tenya, Yuga, Momo and Tsuyu. Broku was spotting sitting on the ground nearby Mina, Minoru, Denki, Eijiro, Kyouka, and Mezo near one of the other couches. Shouto was eating his breaking along with Tooru, Hanta, Mashirao, Fumikage, Koji and Rikido. Katsuki was with the others occupying the main living area sitting on a chair on his own, his eyes glued to the three different Midoriyas in the area with narrows eyes.

None had noticed his presence yet, to which the villain was thankful for. However his puzzlement grew when he didn't spot the annoying Magician version of himself present in the room.

"Where's that stupid Magic wielding me…?" AfO-Izuku muttered to himself, wanting a word with that annoying robed version of himself.

"I AM HERE!"

'GAH!" AfO-Izuku shouted aloud, having nearly jumped in the air as he quickly turned around only to see a grinning Magician-Izuku standing right behind him.

This sudden yell grabbed everyone else's attention as they turned their heads towards the source, seeing both AfO-Izuku and Magician-Izuku now present in the main area like the rest of them. A few grew a bit uncomfortable from the sight of the white suited Midoriya, while others like Bakugou merely eyed Magician with wary eyes also. Or in the case of Bakugou angry eyes considering that the robed Midoriya put him to sleep yesterday against his will.

Seeing the eyes set on them, Magician-Izuku paid no attention to the glare he was getting from the likes of AfO-Izuku and Bakugou before waving his hands at everyone else.

"Hello everyone! I have awoken from my sleep and I have come!" He announced, summoning a jar of powered milk for some reason out of thin air before it hit the ground, shattering upon impact. Now why he did that, who knows but a few like Mineta and Kaminari felt there was an inappropriate and perverted joke in that action that no one else picked up on.

Figuring that he should speak up, Tenya was the first to respond after clearing his throat from the Magician's sudden reappearance.

"Uh… good morning. I take it you slept well?" The Engine-Quirk user asked as Magician-Midoriya nodded.

"Yep! Slept like a person who wasn't thrown in jail due to owing money to the Polish Mafia," Magician told the dark blue haired teen, choosing to ignore the odd and puzzled expressions he was getting from everyone else from his words. Turning towards AfO-Izuku, Magician grinned once more before speaking aloud to the white suited double before him, "How did you sleep? I'm sure you slept well, since I can put anyone into a deep peaceful sleep when I don't want them trying to leave the building grounds to do random villain stuff."

Hearing that only got the white suited dark green haired male to gain a tick mark on his forehead.

"I'm going to kill you." AfO-Izuku promised which prompted Magician to laugh a bit as he waved the threat off.

"Heh, you can try villain me," Magician responded yet no maliciousness was present in his tone, "Now if anyone needs me, I'm going to get breakfast."

And like that the robed cone wearing dark green haired Midoriya casually walked towards the kitchen to do just that ignoring AfO-Izuku's glare that was sent his way, getting a few of the others to look at the robed male as he did so. Among them was Scar-Midoriya, who recalled the small talk that he had with the Magician last night when everyone decided to hit the hay for the night.

'FLASH BACK, LAST NIGHT'

Knocking could be heard from the other side of the door that led into Magician's dorm room, having been giving to him for the night. Well, not really given, more like he claimed it for himself and no one really objected to it.

Nevertheless, Magician-Izuku heard the knocking while he sat on the ground facing the other way from the door. Turning around slightly, he smiled from the thought of someone was still awake and decided to give him company.

"It's unlocked!" Magician stated loud enough for the one on the other side to hear him.

With that, not even a full moment passed as the door started to open slowly, allowing a certain car covered Midoriya to be seen slowly entering the dorm room.

"Hey uh… Magician. I didn't wake you did I?" Scar-Izuku figured he would ask while closing the door behind him in the process. Magician sat up grabbing his staff that was lying next to him in the process, now turned around to fully face his scar covered double.

"Nope! I was just finishing up a call I had with my pals in the other world I mentioned to you all briefly earlier. Figured I tell them the exciting news of me being in another world that's not my own." Magician told the hero in training in a casual manner.

Hearing that surprised yet puzzled Scar-Midoriya, yet the scarred student didn't question about that any further. He had a different purpose to come meeting the still awake Magician this late in the night when he should be resting. But honestly, the scarred teen doubted he would get much easy rest in the first place.

"I see. Well… I was hoping to ask you something if you don't mind." Scar-Izuku asked, getting Magician to nod in understanding.

"Ah… I think I know what you want to ask of me," Magician started to say as he leaned forward towards the scarred human, before a grin formed on his face as he leaned back, "You want to ask me if I know who this world's version of ourselves will end up with! Sadly I will have to do more research before figuring out who would be the most likely to end up with our native counterpart of this planet, however I strongly feel like he will end up getting a harem of multiple females if I'm allowed to state my opinion on the subject so far-."

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU!" Scar-Izuku unintentionally shouted with a tick mark on his face before slamming his hands over his mouth, hoping that he didn't unintentionally wake anyone up from the sudden outburst.

"Oh really? Then what do you want to know then?" Magician-Izuku asked with his head tilting left a little bit to show off his confusion. What else would his scar double want to ask of him that didn't involve this world's version of themselves and his love life?

Sighing after hearing this, not even going to bother to question why his magic using counterpart thought he wanted to know something like that, before he regained his composure and stared at the cone wearing dark green haired male before him once more.

"Magician, you said that you have been aware and have seen many numerous different worlds, both completely unrelated to our own and supposedly different versions of ourselves. So you must know quite a lot don't you?" Scar-Izuku asked while the robed Midoriya across from his puffed out his chest in pride from the words.

"Of course! I know plenty of things that would make people either awe in delight or scare them sh*tless!" Magician responded with his grin still present on his face. Hearing this, Scar-Izuku figured he would then get straight to the point.

"Then… is there a chance you might know the kind of demon that brought us all here then?" Scar-Izuku asked once more.

That got Magician to blink in both surprise and confusion, not puffing out his chest anymore while looking at his scar covered counterpart.

"You want to know if I might have seen this kind of demon before?" Magician asked, as Scar-Midoriya nodded in confirmation.

"Yes. I know you would not know this specific demon itself, but perhaps you might have seen its kind before at some point from seeing and learning about so many different worlds?" The scar covered dark green haired male figured, hoping that if this Magician was as knowledgeable as he claimed to be, then perhaps there was a chance he might know what kind of foe they were facing to better figure out what to plan against the creature.

Hearing this request got Magician to cross his arms while closing his eyes and humming in thought for a few moments. Luckily the silence would break when the cone wearing robed young man started to speak towards his other self once more.

"I will admit, from what little I've heard about so far doesn't seem to remind me of any demons that I know about," Magician admitted before opening his eyes and looking back at his scar covered counterpart, "Could you perhaps describe to me what the demon looked like? If I know what it looks like I might have a better chance of recognizing it or not."

"Oh, alright," Scar-Izuku responded as he tried to remember the description of the demonic entity that he had encountered before in order to share with the cone wearing robed double of him, "Well… it had red colored skin with green cracks all over it, I think it's an effect of the demon's powers? It had hooves instead of normal feet, possessed a tail and had two tentacles on its face. Its forehead looked kind of bony I guess?"

Scar-Izuku stopped there, hoping that his description of the demon was enough to see if Magician recognized what kind of demonic being it was or not. Hearing this got Magician to hum in thought for a moment, closing his eyes while he did so. Scar-Midoriya waited patiently to see if his Magic using self would know what kind of foe they were facing.

And after a few minutes of silence, Magician-Izuku opened his eyes as he looked back towards his scar covered double with an unreadable expression on his face. The scarred hero in training waited for him to answer… and answer Magician-Izuku did.

"Nope. Doesn't ring a bell."

That got Scar-Izuku to fall down anime style on his back from the lack luster and casual response by the robed Midoriya.

"That doesn't help at all!" Scar-Izuku shouted, recovering from the sudden fall he did while exclaiming at his cone wearing double. Magician merely waved off the annoyance his counterpart had with a grin forming on his face.

"Oh relax, it's kind of exciting actually." Magician admitted, getting the hero in training to be puzzled.

"How is it exciting? This just means we have no idea what this demon really is or what is fully capable of if you don't know anything about it." The scar covered Midoriya pointed out, seeing how that Magician's lack of knowing what kind of demon they were facing only meant it was going to be harder to figure out more about their enemy somewhat responsible for bringing him and his other counterparts to this version of Earth.

"Exactly! This is something new for me to learn! I love learning about new stuff!" Magician-Midoriya responded as Scar-Izuku merely sighed from hearing this. Witnessing this, Magician walked over and put an arm around the scarred Midoriya's shoulders, getting his attention as he looked back up towards the now closed robed dark green haired male, "Oh relax will you? We're going to find out more about this demon and you guys can confront it when the chance comes."

Magician finished his words as he moved his arm off his counterpart, grinning once more as he placed his hands on his hips.

"Now then, I wish to talk about more pressing matters if you're interested. Like how should we make the women here get with their own Midoriya! Since I'm sure you get all the ladies back in your reality, I'm sure you have some good knowledge to pass onto our native double to-."

The closing of a door grabbed Magician-Izuku's attention, blinking in confusion as he looked to see Scar-Izuku no longer in the dorm room, having left the area and closed the door behind him, not wishing to hear whatever embarrassing or idiotic stuff the robed young man was going to go on about.

"…Well that's just rude." Magician muttered to himself, pouting a little from how his other self just left while he was talking.

'FLASHBACK ENDED'

'He doesn't even seem to find the need to find and hunt the demon down as something important.' Scar-Izuku thought as his eyes continued to linger on the robed version of himself who was in the kitchen looking for something to eat. From what he could gather last night, Magician did want to find the demon but mainly to learn more about it not to deal with the problem before it could get worse. Is Magician just not taking this seriously?

"Hey uh, Scar me," Hearing Izuku grabbed Scar-Izuku to snap out of his thoughts before he turned his head away from where Magician was and back towards his native counterpart of this world along with Ochaco, Tenya, Tsuyu, Yuga and Momo, all who were looking back at the scar covered double of their classmate and friend, "You alright? You spaced out for a moment there." Izuku asked in worry for his alternate self, who blinked from the words.

"Oh, yeah I'm fine. Just recalling something that's all…" Scar-Izuku admitted to them, hoping they would leave it at that.

Izuku and the others looked at one another with a bit worry, unsure if the other Midoriya was thinking about something that was bothering him. But they would listen to his words as to not be pushy. They were sure that he was just still trying to get used to being in a different version of his home.

Heck, they were still trying to get used to the fact there were multiple versions of Izuku in their dorm. Especially since one of them looked like he was put into a blender to have so many scars, one of them was a villain, one was taller and bulkier who they needed to make sure remained calm and not freak out, and one was a magician who apparently possesses knowledge about alternate realities being a thing.

Honestly, despite his outward appearance Izuku was struggling to comprehend it all. He had a hard time falling asleep due to the fact there were multiple versions of him under the same roof as him and his friends. It was a lot to take in and process, like how was he supposed to handle seeing other hims walking around? While the others seemed to once more start to say something towards his scar covered counterpart, Midoriya took this chance to glance over towards where AfO-Izuku was standing, the white suited dark green haired teen choosing to keep his distance away from everyone else at the moment, not even bothering to go into the kitchen to get something to eat while he continued to glare at where Magician was at.

'I don't get it… how did I- er, him, go down such a path?' Izuku thought to himself. Out of the four different versions of himself presence, AfO-Izuku was the most confusing yet alarming one to the dark green haired hero in training. Sure, the other three were surprising in their own right, but this other him was a villain, yet the white suited teen claimed to hate villains as he did heroes. And he wielded All for One, the Quirk of the villain of the same namesake that lived for at least over a century, the same villain that One for All was meant to defeat. What happened in his villainous counterpart's world where instead of All Might telling him he could be a hero and entrusting him with his Quirk, he went down the path of evil? Did it happen on that fateful day when All Might saved him from the sludge villain? Or did the divergence happen at a different point in time?

While this was happening, Mina, Minoru, Denki, Eijiro, Kyouka and Mezo were still around the sitting down Broku who looked puzzled as Mina was showing off her phone towards the gentle giant version of Midoriya, who got interest in what the small device was.

"It's a communicator?" Broku asked with a soft tone, as Mina nodded towards the armored Midoriya.

"Yeah, it's called a phone! You can call and text friends and family with it, and it also connects to the internet so you can play games or watch videos on it too!" Mina explained to the dark green haired muscular six feet tall Izuku.

His puzzlement filled expression that he had showed them enough that he had no idea what she was referring too by internet or games. That got a few to frown a little, seeing how this other Midoriya didn't seem to have the luxuries of such things back wherever world he came from.

"We'll explain more on it later to you, how about we show you what we mean yeah?" Kirishima told the giant, who looked more interested from hearing this.

"I would like that…" Broku trailed off with a small smile, getting the others to smile from seeing his interest in their stuff.

"Cool! Let me show you!" Mina exclaimed as she moved closer to the taller Midoriya, sitting down on the couch next to the taller and bulkier Izuku as she had her phone in hand.

"You better not show him anything weird." Jirou told the pink haired and pink skinned female, who pouted from hearing the purple haired Earphone Jack-Quirk user's words.

"I'm not! I'm just going to show him random stuff you normally see people post." Mina replied back to her music playing friend.

After that was done, Mina went on to bring her app up taking her to a certain website where all kinds of videos were at. Going to the trending page, she turned around towards Broku once more with a cheeky grin on her face as she started to speak towards him once more.

"See?" Mina showed him as Broku looked down at the small screened device with interest while the Acid-Quirk user went on while the others watched on nearby, "There are all kinds of videos up! Like here at the recent and trending ones, here's a video about cute cats doing cute things, a video where someone pranks someone else, a video about someone playing a game, a video showing a giant lizard-like Izuku and a giant ape-like Izuku fighting a giant rock monster, oh and a video of-."

She stopped herself as wide comical eyes formed on her face. The others nearby also gained similar comical expressions while Broku merely gained a confused expression.

"Wait what?!" Mina shouted before clicking onto the video before anyone else could say anything else.

She and those around her grouped together and leaned in to see the video on the small screened phone. To their utter shock and surprise, the video that showed from high up in the air from the camera man showed off titan sized entities duking it with one another, two of them being a lizard/dinosaur-like Midoriya covered in scales that was seen shooting lasers out of his mouth like nothing while the other Midoriya resembled some kind of odd ape with dark brown hair instead of the usual dark green hair Izuku was known to have. Both of the colossal sized Izukus were seen fighting against some kind of giant demonic stone golem, the conflict clearly devastating the section of the city of what seemed to be Tokyo.

Naturally, this alarmed the group as Kaminari was quick to let everyone know about this as he turned towards the rest.

"GUYS! YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE THIS!" The blonde Electricity-Quirk user shouted aloud for all to hear.

Naturally this grabbed the attention of everyone, including AfO-Izuku as they all became confuse by the sudden shout that their blonde haired friend emitted and of the worry and surprise noticeable in his tone. Puzzled, they all moved towards where the group of their friends and Broku were at, going behind them and the couch in order to get a look. The only one not among them was Magician-Izuku, who was too busy enjoying a bowl of cereal that he was holding in his hands with a content smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" Momo asked Denki, who merely motioned them to come over with a frantic expression and pointed at the phone Mina was holding, which only confused them all.

Arriving behind the couch Broku, Mina and the others were on or around, they all grouped together and leaned over their shoulders to see what had grabbed their attention. AfO-Izuku of course kept his distance from the others, using some kind of hover Quirk to look over the horde of people before him to see what got them all to act loud and annoying.

When they did, they were all surprised by what they were seeing, none more so than Izuku, Scar-Izuku and AfO-Izuku when saw the sight of two other alternate veriions of themselves in the video. What was surprising also was the fact how different the two other Izukus in the video looked. One of them reminded Izuku of the Pro-Hero Godzillo just more humanoid looking while the other looked like some kind of muscular ape. However, the sight of the giant Infernal the two counterparts were fighting also had all of their attention as the demonic construct tried to eliminate the two Izukus in its way.

No one said a word as they continued to watch the recorded video from last night from how the Infernal looked to be winning to its ultimate defeat by the hands of Burning Godzilla-Izuku and Izuku Kong before the two Izukus emitted loud roars of victory over the ruined section of Tokyo. This caused the video to end, leaving them all in silence for a moment from what they just witnessed.

"SO COOL!"

"GAH!" Everyone shouted from the sudden shout from Magician-Izuku who was now suddenly with them, bowl of cereal in hand as they turned to see the robed Midoriya floating a bit above them in order to get a better look at the video they were watching.

"Don't do that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Sero shouted aloud clenching a hand over his chest to calm his fast beating heart.

Magician ignored the Tape-Quirk user however as Magician practically had stars in his eyes from seeing the two other versions of Midoriya.

"How very interesting! Two versions of myself that are like those two Titan creatures from that one version of Earth! Oh man I wasn't expecting that! I want to meet them!" Magician-Izuku exclaimed with excitement in his tone, excited to see two more doubles of them who seemed to be similar to the two giant alpha Titans back on another version of Earth in another universe through countless alternate realities.

"Interesting?! They ravaged an entire city against whatever that rock monster thing was!" Mineta exclaimed to the robed Midoriya, who merely waved off the shock and somewhat fear in the short student's tone.

"So there are more other mes out there…" Scar-Izuku trailed off, worry in his tone from the implications of what this could mean to this world. Sure he kind of realized more versions of himself might be on this world due to what AfO-Izuku liked to keep reminding him about interfering with that portal the demon tried to open, and what due to the arrival of Magician. But it was still shocking and surprising to actually see more versions of himself.

Izuku, AfO-Izuku and Broku were in the same boat. Broku and Izuku were just confused about it all, while AfO-Izuku merely gritted his teeth from seeing their problem becoming even worse if there were different hims like the two scale covered and fur covered counterparts the size of skyscrapers out there.

'That rock creature… it gave off the same demonic energies as that demon did. Was that thing behind the attack?' AfO-Izuku thought to himself, seeing that the Eredar could summon such a monstrous construct. If the demon could do that, what other tricks did the demonic entity have up its sleeve?

"Turn on the T.V., see if this is on the news." Momo told the others to see if this was being discussed live for all the nation to witness or not.

"I got it!" Hagakuru responded back as the invisible girl ran over to the nearby table before grabbing the remote and proceeded to turn the television on.

Luckily, it activated on the news network as everyone was now paying close attention to the screen before them while Magician continued to casually eat his bowl of cereal while they all heard the two news reporters on the other side of the televised screen.

"Confusion continues to grow as the devastation that took place last night in Tokyo becomes more known throughout the nation," A male news reporter started to speak as the replay of the Tokyo kaiju battle appeared on the scene, showing Burning Godzilla-Izuku unleashing his nuclear pulses against the Infernal with Izuku Kong holding the demonic construct in place to prevent it from able to dodge the powerful attacks unleashed upon it and the section of the city, "So far the two look-a-likes of U.A. student Izuku Midoriya whereabouts are still unknown as construction has begun to rebuild the collateral damage done to Tokyo. People are demanding answers as to what exactly is going on."

"They have every right to demand answers from the devastation unleashed upon not only Tokyo but on Musutafu where those other three duplicates of the U.A. Student were seen engaged in battle earlier yesterday afternoon," The other news reporter started to speak as the woman went on, showing replays of both the battles of Tokyo and of Musutafu involving Scar-Izuku, AfO-Izuku, Broku, Godzilla-Izuku, Izuku Kong and the Infernal, "The remains of the giant rock construct are still being extracted from the ruined section of Tokyo for study in hopes of whenever this was the result of some kind of Quirk. I must say, this whole situation doesn't really make sense to me."

"I'm afraid it's more complicated than that," The other reporter spoke up again as he faced the viewers, his expression unchanging as he continued onward to speak to the audience watching from their homes, "Since the news of the attack last night, there has been more reports of what seemed to be those similar to that of the U.A. student. Take a look at here for example."

With those words said, the screen then showed off a somewhat blurry video that have been recorded from yesterday during the day before the attack on Tokyo. To the surprise of the students and the Midoriyas' while it was hard to see due to the haste and blur this video shown on the news was, they could still see what seemed to be another version of Izuku. The shown clip involved a certain dark green haired teen with a white scaly scarf around his neck and tattered dark brown cloak unleashing a blast of fire towards multiple villains that were confronted on the streets with the surrounding people cheering on the dark green haired Mage afterwards.

'Fire?' Shouto thought in surprise from seeing this despite how blurry the video was showing off the other version of the dark green haired hero student. That was rather interesting, a version of Midoriya who had some kind of fire based Quirk? The others including the different Izukus were just in surprise from seeing this, though for Magician he couldn't help but feel like this other version of Midoriya rang a bell for some reason.

"More reports have been made along with one involving the video just shown. Witnesses in Kofu City have repotted being saved from villains of a human trafficking group by a look-a-like of the student Midoriya that wielded a large blade and odd black armor. Another report involved spotting another double in unusual armor while a group of runners spotted him upon what they described, and I quote, "A dead looking armored horse" near the creak they were running down. Likewise, witnesses in Ono City have reported and spotted two doubles, one in odd golden-like armor while the other seemed to possessed metallic limbs, present walking through the city, however their current whereabouts are a mystery. Last night a report was filed in Kamino Ward when a woman who claimed to have been captured by a group of villains in an alleyway was saved by one she claimed to look similar to the U.A. student yet witnessed him brutally murdered her captors before she got away. These are a few what we were able to get our hands on so far." The female reporter shared with the audience, surprising and shocking the group of students and the Midoriyas, expect for Magician, he was just interested.

Izuku couldn't help but take a step back a bit, his eyes still glued to the scene as some of the others looked at him with worry, though they couldn't blame him for acting this way. It was shocking to hear of all of this. And all within the span of a day. Anyone would no doubt feel overwhelmed by it all.

"One in golden-like armor?" AfO-Izuku questioned with a raised eyebrow from recalling the description of what seemed to be another version of him if the news was calling it correctly.

"One riding a dead looking horse?" Kaminari asked with puzzlement himself. How could a horse look dead looking?

"They all sound so… different from one another." Scar-Izuku muttered as he himself was struggling to process this all. If he was counting it right, then they just found out about seven other versions of himself in the span of a couple of minutes. Seven! Was that all the different hims that were here on this world, or were there still more they were unaware about?

"Two of them… killed people?" Ochaco asked in worry from the mention of the one with the black armor and sword as well as the last other Izuku mentioned last, as she couldn't imagine her own Izuku being able to take a life, let alone in a brutal manner in regards to the last report told to them all by the reporters on the television.

"Wait that's what you're surprised about?" Magician questioned, getting her and everyone else to turn around towards the dark green haired Magic using young man, "There are plenty versions of myself and even versions of you all who I've seen in different timelines where you all took the lives of those who threatened you all."

"What?!" Many of them shouted aloud, getting Broku to flinch from how loud the others were being. The armored bulky dark green haired male was just confused by the whole thing. Why were there so many different hims running around? Was it really because how the scar covered him messed up some portal this demon he and AfO-Izuku mentioned tried to open?

Scar-Izuku remained silent as his gaze looked down at the floor, which didn't go noticed thankfully, otherwise they would see the somewhat guilty expression he had on his face, keyword being somewhat here. AfO-Izuku meanwhile didn't care since everyone already knew he killed before, what with mentioning that he had killed All Might and had taken their Quirks before slaughtering them all back in his own reality.

"Yep! I mean it shouldn't be too surprising, after all there are some really sick f**ks out there who don't deserve the mercy of being spared. I'm sure my doubles here will agree." Magician replied back with a grin on his face, not seeing the big deal about what he admitted.

No one could get an answer in before the news grabbed all of their attention once more, getting them to turn their gazes back towards the screen as the two news reporters started to speak again.

"In other news today, leaked videos from China show something both unusual and dire is taking place within the large neighboring nation of Japan," The male news reporter started to say about a different subject this time involving the large nation of China, catching the students and Midoriyas off guard as the man on the screen continued, "From what was leaked from insiders of the country, inhabitants along with any other living thing like the wildlife and even plant life seemed to have been wiped out by an unknown source. While the cities still stand, not a single living thing remains within these now large ghost towns."

After he said those words, clips from old cameras were shown around one Chinese city's borders, energies seemingly sucked out of any lifeform that was caught from the unknown cause from the city and towards a direction elsewhere in a matter of seconds. Seeing this surprised and horrified the students, while Scar-Izuku, AfO-Izuku and Broku were only surprised, while Magician-Izuku became more curious about this.

"Hmm… now this is an interesting development. I never liked China anyway, their mafias are the worse to make a deal with. Backstabbing sons of b*tches they are. Wonder what's causing this though?" Magician admitted, while AfO-Izuku looked at him with a deadpanned expression.

"What is with you and mafias?" The white suited All for One-Quirk user couldn't help but ask, finding this to be rather stupid to hear.

"Okay look that's none of your business." Magician responded back to the All for One Midoriya in a casual manner, which only ticked off the villain more than anything.

"Quiet I'm trying to listen." Scar-Izuku told them, getting Magician to make a zip motion on his lips in compliance while AfO-Izuku merely glared at his scar covered self from being told what to do.

"Nations like the United States and Japan have offered to send in assistance to whatever is plaguing the Chinese nation, however the Chinese government has denied any help and states that the videos leaked are nothing more than forged propaganda to make China look weak to the rest of the world. However, as the videos shown here as well as those who fled the nation to avoid being silenced who spoke out about the terror prove otherwise. More will be discussed once more information becomes available." The female coworker stated to the audience watching them live, a grim look on her face as she went over the current situation that was apparently affecting the large Chinese country.

Before anyone could say anything else about what they just heard about, a breaking news logo appeared onto the screen as the scene changed to show a news reporter, a rather curvaceous woman with red skin and red hair, in front of the camera as many other reporters were seen flocking behind her.

"We're live as the heroes are about to host a press conference to discuss the current events that has taken place in the past day and night, which is about to start momentary. Hopefully we will be given answers as to what exactly is going on recently." The red skinned woman told those watching from the camera as the scene changed to show familiar faces that the U.A. Students and Scar-Izuku recognized as their own teachers, surprising them from seeing them on the stage they were in.

"Mr. Aizawa is there!" Tenya noticed, seeing the normal media hating hero was there, the only other time the dark blue haired Engine-Quirk user had seem on appear on national television was when Bakugou was kidnapped before the events of Kamino happened.

"All Might, Mr. Nezu, and a few of our other teachers are there also." Izuku noticed, seeing All Might uncomfortable to be present in front of the reporters.

"Guess this must be happening as we speak elsewhere on U.A. grounds." Shouto figured, wondering what they were going to say about the whole multiple Izukus running around.

No one said anything as they paid close attention see what was going to happen, while AfO-Izuku merely glared in anger and disgust at the sight of the heroes on the televised screen, especially All Might.

'WITH THE U.A. TEACHERS'

Yagi felt uncomfortable.

Even when he still had One for All when he would patrol the streets saving as many lives as he could, he never was a fan with dealing with the press. They can act like hungry piranhas wanting to tear into their prey, wishing to ask question after question about every single thing including his personal life. Sure, he knew the press was simply doing their job, but it was still rather a pain to deal with. It was no wonder why Shouta hated to deal with them.

Yet now here he stands, along with Nezu, Erasure Head, Present Mic, Cementoss, Midnight, Snipe, Ectoplasm and Vlad King, being the only ones within the facility to be attending here for the conference to the public. The blonde skinny man envied those like Power Loader who didn't have to be here, wishing he didn't have to be standing here waiting for the press to jump upon them with the many questions they would have.,

However, a hero must overcome all challenges, which included the press asking questions. Besides, they and the public deserve some kind of proper response after all that has been happening in the past twenty four hours.

Toshinori was still plagued about what they have discovered last night when they saw the televised battle between the scale covered Midoriya and the fur covered Izuku and that unusual rock construct that the demon that Scar-Izuku and AfO-Izuku chased after no doubt summoned if Aizawa was right on that one. The former Number One Hero's growing worry merely, well grew when he had heard reports of similar sightings of what seemed to be more alternate counterparts of his successor. The blonde sighed, he knew that the public wanted answers, wanting something to assure them that everything is under control, that something was being planned.

He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Nezu start to speak from his spot in front of his microphone, as the press before him remained silence for now so they can hear the dog-bear-mouse-whatever animal he is Principal.

"As many of you are already aware, unusual events have recently sprung up involving one of our own students in the hero course," Nezu started to say as he continued onward, making sure everyone was listening in closely both before him and from their respective homes due to the cameras recording this live, "We are regretful for any lives that may have been lost during the conflict between these look-a-likes, and for the destruction that has taken place in both Musutafu and in Tokyo. Trust me, if we knew something like this would happened, we would have acted to prevent such unneeded destruction. Now, the focus is to look forward and act on what to do."

Nezu took a breather for a moment before the small unknown animal Principal continued onward with his words as everyone kept on listening to him.

"As we have learned and what you all no doubt now know, more sightings of what seemed to be more duplicates of our student have been reported being seen in numerous parts all over Japan. To ensure no more unnecessary destruction or conflict takes place, we will be working as fast we can to locate these look-a-likes and to bring them in. And so, we will be forming search parties to find them before anything worse can happen like what took place yesterday afternoon and night in regards to Musutafu and Tokyo. Both those at U.A., the police force, and other heroes like the top ten will be brought in to aid us in the search in order to better find these duplicates. Make no mistake, we will not rest until we find them all and figure this out." Nezu informed and revealed to the press about what they were going to do about the current situation.

With that said, numerous reports started to speak all over one another, each man or women trying to get a question in for the heroes to answer. Luckily things clamed down quickly as a black haired news lady managed to ask the first question.

"Question involving the three look-a-likes that battled in Musutafu yesterday, what will be done involving those three? They are still under your watch are they not?" She asked, as the heroes on stage nodded in confirmation.

"Yes, they are still on U.A. grounds. As for them, two of them will be aiding in the search parties while the third one, the one that had been rampaging against the other two, will remain on U.A. grounds to keep an eye over." Nezu announced, knowing that a certain white suited All for One wielding Midoriya was no doubt going to be ticked off from being dragged into this, but in the Principal's eyes, it was both the best way to use his abilities to locate the other Izukus while ensuring a watchful eye on the villainous version of the dark green haired teen. As for Broku, the Principal didn't want to risk the chance of him being set off in some way if he were to be out and about, so he would remain with the students for the time being until something else can be figured out.

That got a bit of a frenzy from the press, but luckily they calmed down again as another reporter, this one being an one eyed man with blonde hair started to ask his own question for his news network.

"Can you explain as to why there are multiple versions of the U.A. student Izuku Midoriya running around in the first place? Is this the result of someone's Quirk going haywire?" He asked to the heroes, with Toshinori becoming more nervous from hearing that, wondering what Nezu was going to say in response to that.

However, it wouldn't be Nezu to answer but instead Aizawa who started to speak up, kind of surprising Yagi for a moment before the black haired underground hero went on to speak in his own microphone before him.

"I'm afraid we still don't know the full scale as to why multiple doubles of our student is out and about," Aizawa lied, knowing that the public wasn't ready yet to be told that these look-a-likes of Midoriya came from alternate worlds thus proving that alternate realities are a real thing. They would just think they were going mad if they announced such a thing despite the walking evidence that were these alternate Izukus, "But we are currently working to get to the bottom of this. But let this be known, we believe in full that this may in fact not be a result of a Quirk."

That got mutters in the crowd once more, especially from the last bit about how this wasn't the result of someone's Quirk. If it wasn't that, then what had caused this whole situation in the first place?

"Excuse me, can you clarify what you mean?" Another reporter who had long green hair and black eyes asked, as she and everyone else were simply confused by what the underground hero could be referring too. Aizawa went on ahead to answer the questioned asked in hopes it would satisfy them.

"We can't say too much at the moment as like we stated earlier, we still don't know the full scale of what has caused this situation in the first place. But from what we have seen so far, it seems highly unlikely to be that of a Quirk. Now whether this is the cause of some machine someone build or even some new kind of power that isn't a Quirk, we have yet to determine the exact." Aizawa told the press, lying a bit since from what they learned from Scar-Izuku and AfO-Izuku when they were brought in, it had something to do with the former interfering with some portal that the unknown demon opened. But he doubted that the public would believe that it involved something akin to that of Magic, if not Magic itself.

Even in the world of Quirks, something akin to Magic existing was something not many people believe could be possible. Someone flying? Of course, it's a Quirk. Super strength? Quirk. Erasure of Quirks like he himself possesses? It's a Quirk itself. So stating that something is in fact some other kind of power and not a Quirk would draw complete confusion or flat out ridicule from people.

The press merely all had confused expressions as they looked towards one another, unsure of this response. They didn't have to wait long as a brown haired female reporter, the same one who had tried to get interviews with the heroes and students before and the one who was at the center of the fight between Scar-Izuku, AfO-Izuku and Broku yesterday when Scar-Izuku saved her and her crew from an attack Broku unleashed.

"Excuse me, when would these search parties begin to find these doubles of the U.A. student?" She asked the heroes on stage before her, figuring she would ask the important question of when the heroes will actually initiate this plan to find these other look-a-likes of the dark green haired hero student.

This time Nezu was the one to answer once again, taking over as everyone listened ash the small unknown animal Principal spoke.

"Good question, be assured that we will begin initiating the search once this press conference is over." Nezu informed the press before him.

Pausing for a moment, he went back to speaking once more as everyone listen in.

"I know it's confusing right now, and everyone has every right to be about this situation. We are facing with something that we know very little about as to how it came to be. Not to mention if there are even more doubles of our student running around other than the ones that have been reported so far. Buy never fear, for we are going to find them all and get to the bottom of this. We will ensure that something like the battles in Musutafu and Tokyo does not happen again. We're all in this together, and together we will solve this. Thank you." Nezu told them all as he along with the other Pro-Hero teachers bowed to the audience before them.

With that, the heroes started to walk off stage as the press tried to get more questions in to no valid. But now, it was time to gather the groups up and begin the search to find all of these different alternate versions of Izuku.

No matter how long it may take, they will achieve this goal before figuring out a way to send all of these different Izukus to their respective home realities.

Alright, here we go. Chapter done finally. Took a while to actually finish this and was kind of a struggle but hopefully I still did alright, but I apologize in advance in case it was just meh. Didn't actually get to the start of the actual search like I wanted, but I'll be sure to get to that next chapter since nothing else should get in the way.

Apologizes if this still took a while, not just for this story but for my other stories to update. We had actually recently got a new puppy so we're focus on getting into a settle schedule involving him while making sure he and my two cats don't try to attack one another, luckily that hasn't happened yet as my cats are tolerating him at the moment at a distance. Except for one of them, who likes to get a bit closer. They keep hissing at him though, but I'm sure things will work out well eventually.

Anyway, enough about that since I'm sure most of you don't care about it at all, what did you think of the chapter? Good? Bad? Let me know.

See you all next time, whenever that will be.
