Chapter 11
HOWYA DOING MY FANFIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS! ZAYDEN STORMVOID BACK AT IT WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER OF MHA WATCHES DEATH BATTLE! Now with less Death Battle in today's chapter.
This chapter is an interlude chapter, ie no Death Battle reactions and a pure plot driven story chapter, so if you aren't interested then you will have to wait for the following chapter, but to those who are interested in the plot of the story and don't want to miss a chapter and not be confused, then welcome aboard! In this chapter, we will seeing the aftermath of the previous chapter and reveal the truth by behind the girls' feelings towards our resident cinnamon roll and Izuku's recent episodes.
But first, to the Reviews:
magical fan18: Thanks and glad that I was able to clear some things about Spawn, and you can also thank the fellow reviewers who helped me with that info. And yeah that does actually sound like a good idea for another fanfic, although given that we still have one or two more games of the Norse chapter of the God of War franchise left and anything could happen, I would advise from assuming that Atreus has any kids or survives past the Norse games. Anything could happen in those games, especially when the directors of games say that everything shown had a purpose and Athena showed up with her version of Liam Neeson's 'I will find you. And I will kill you.'
U: Thanks for the advise and I will add in some of my own tidbits of new information in future chapters, especially the ones that they glossed over the most, like Thor's intelligence.
Mashot Tito: Time when it comes to the multiverse and cosmic level effects is messy and random and do often spontaneously happen, however here in this story, its more that Someone decided to speed up the process or rather withheld it for the appropriate time that said Individual found the most Entertaining. You will just have to see who it is. And if I ever do get to All Might vs Might Guy, heads are gonna roll, secrets revealed, and what happened last chapter will be child's play compared to that.
Darkness Rissing: Thanks! And yeah I expected for a lot of people to be surprised over this decision, and yep Someone of a paracasual, power over reality and physics, and cosmic proportions messed with the system and we will find out who it is here. Nice bonus point there and I agree with it, and no worries, everyone's favorite theorized Touya Todoroki will have his share of love in the future. Its a miracle that she survived. The reason for his visions and episodes will be revealed this chapter but I can say that it was also of a cosmic intervention.
Fortitude501: Glad to see that you got the joke. And yes, I did.
PandakaiLove: Glad to hear that I could fill in some holes in both combatant's history for you and don't worry, I too got in the God Of War train around the latest one sadly and I don't blame you for not knowing about the others beforehand. As for Spawn, he isn't from a videogame, he's from a comic series, that got itself a cartoon show, some video games that I don't know about, and is a DLC character in Mortal Kombat 11, so you can check him out on there, including how awesome he looks, how chilling and cool his voice sounds like, and why he is one of my favorite comic book characters. I genuinely laughed as a I read what your reactions are and did you stare at me like Jim, Michael, Pam, or Dwight? As for your theory, as a fellow theorist and analyzer I dub this theory with the rank of Nailed it! And yes Bakugou's yelling can be annoying at times, but then again that's who he is, asking for Bakadouche to stop yelling like an angry Pomeranian is like asking the sea not to be wet. And yes God of War music is Awesome!
OmniUlShaggyOverexagerated: I see you caught that little tease there, nice. And yes, this theory will poke at the very fragile truth of both the two's past and OFA but they won't outright reveal it...yet, we still have Lots of Death Battles and Interludes to go before we start revealing bombshells like those.
duskrider: This intervention will be cosmic in nature and amusement in purpose.
Steelrain66: Fair enough and I respect your opinion as any human being should to another.
Read4Lyfe: Let's just say that with the plans I have and all the battles to watch that certain secrets aren't going to be kept in the dark. Just like Ian Malchom says about Life, Karma finds a way.
Guest: Its a fun idea to think about, but I would more likely end up making an actual MK 11 crossover story or have the characters react to the last three MK games and have the fatalities as bonus content in between each one.
With all that said, here is the index:

Ad finally, I don't own or take credit of My Hero Academia, Death Battle, or any of the franchises represented in previous and future chapters, they belong to Horikoshi and Bones Studios, the Death Battle channel and Roosterteeth, and the owners of those franchises, respectively.
Now enough talk, Let's Begin!
Interlude 1
Third POV
Class-1A arrived at Heights Alliance, saying goodnight to Mei along the way as she walked towards the Support Course dorms and Class-1B as they went to their dorms.
As they arrived at the dorm they found Mirio playing Super Hero Smash Extreme with Kota, while Eri sat on the couch eating candy apples with a happy smile on her face. Uraraka flinched in pain, remembering the recent Death Battle and what it entailed for her and Eri, the image of her and Eri's...best to not think about it.
"Wow, you're kicking my butt in this game, Kota!" Mirio praised the son of the Waterhouse heroes.
"Of course I am!" Kota said. "Who would ever choose Hawks to fight against Endeavor and expect to win?!"
"My bad!" Mirio laughed it off.
Eri noticed them return and immediately hopped off to meet them. "They're back!" She called out excited.
Mirio and Kota quickly paused their game and walked over to the returning group. "So how was it?" Mirio asked.
Nejire and Tamaki looked at each other nervously before nodding. Tamaki said "Mirio, you might want to sit down for this one. Alone."
Mirio frowned but nodded. He turned to Eri who looked around expectantly. Eri turned to Mirio and asked "Where is Deku?"
"Deku has to talk with All Might for a moment." Uraraka said. "But he made me promise to tell you that he'll be coming back in a little while. Ok?"
Eri looked disappointed but nodded in understanding. "Hey, Eri." Mirio said, gaining the little girl's attention. "Why don't you hang out with the class for a bit while I talk with Nejire and Tamaki for a minute? I'll be back soon."
"Promise?" Eri said, easing her pinky finger.
"Promise." Mirio said smiling.
Eri smiled and walked over to living room with Kota, the little boy nervously asking Eri if she wanted to know how to play Super Hero Smash.
The Big 3 walked outside to catch up on the last Death Battle. Kaminari then said "Oh yeah, we forgot about Mineta! Sero, mind helping me find the scumbag and free him from wherever Midoriya tied him up?"
"Sure." Sero shrugged. "I can't wait to see what Midoriya did to that little shit!"
"I'm not. Perverted scumbag he is, but my friend nonetheless, and I might get nightmares of Midoriya doing the same to me." Kamianri said.
The two walked out in search of the purple ball-haired pervert, leaving the rest of Class 1-A to watch over Eri and Kota while digesting the last battle, and the mysteries that popped out from it.
"Man, that last Death Battle was crazy." Kirishima said, nervously chuckling at the awkward tension. "I know that we were suppose to be watching those videos to learn but...don't you think we are biting off more than we can chew?"
"Yeah." Ojiro said. "We learned that we, the heroes, and even the villains have counterparts in those other worlds. We even found some new moves for us to incorporate."
"Oh yeah!" Sato said. "Wait doesn't Midoriya have the notebooks with all those moves and info?"
"I got it right here." Todoroki said. "Midoriya gave it to me before he left with All Might and teachers."
"Speaking of Midori, what do you guys think about what that video said?" Mina asked. "About Midori's comparison with that Kratos and Spawn guy?"
"I don't know." Shoji said. "Didn't it say that one of Midoriya's similarities to them were because he has multiple Quirks dormant inside of him?"
"Oui." Aoyama said. "It said that. But should we be certain that the video is telling the truth? What if it is misleading or incorrect?"
"You mean to say that everything from that machine was a lie?" Iida proposed. "Perhaps, but it would seem illogical for Principal Nezu to showcase it to us if that was the case. Plus, it knew All Might and Endeavor's civilian identities, and seems to know the identity of that All For One villain from Camino and the name of some mysterious doctor that Midoriya knew. We might have to accept that everything it has shown to us is the truth."
"But if that's true, then does Midoriya really have multiple Quirks?" Torru asked.
"It wouldn't be the first time Midoriya has surprised us." Asui said. "Think about it. Midoriya seems to be a constant enigma in our class. He claims that he is a late bloomer, his Quirk is so unique and powerful, and remember the Joint Class Training where Midoriya's second Quirk appeared? What did he call it?"
"Black Whip." Momo said. "It was those black tendrils that shot out of him. They seemed completely different from his first Quirk."
"The same could be said for Todoroki." Tokoyami said. "His fire and Ice Quirk are direct opposites. Did you manifest any of the two separately?"
"No." Todoroki said. "When my Quirk manifested, I could use both Fire and Ice at the same time. Also, while I got my Fire Quirk from my father, my Ice Quirk came from my mother."
"Bakugou." Uraraka called out the explosive teen who separated from them a few feet away. "You and Deku knew each other before U.A., what were his parent's Quirks?"
"Auntie Inko has a telekinesis Quirk." Bakugou said. "She can move small objects towards her. As for Deku's pops, I haven't ever seen the dude before, but from what Deku said, he could breathe fire."
"Where is his father?" Todoroki asked.
"How should I know, Icy-Hot?!" Bakugou yelled out before he huffed. "All that Shitty Deku said about him was his Quirk and that he went on some business trip in America after he was born."
"That doesn't make sense." Jirou said. "People's Quirks usually are copies or variants of their parents' Quirks. But Zuku's doesn't seem to match either his mother's or his father's."
"But there are some Quirks that are completely different." Kirishima said. "Like Eri's." They looked to the little girl playing with Kota. "From what we know of her after we rescued her from the Hisaikai, her Quirk is completely different from her parents' Quirks. Maybe Midobro is the same?"
"That still doesn't answer the multiple dormant Quirks part." Momo said. "Having a completely different Quirk from your parents, manifesting it late, manifesting another one later, and now multiple other Quirks dormant inside Izuku, it just doesn't add up."
"Well, I don't want to suspect this but, remember that villain that All Might fought that Iida pointed out that the device knew, All For One." Ojiro said. "His Quirk allows him to take Quirks and give them to others, you don't think that maybe Midoriya-"
"Deku Would Never Associate With That Monster!" Uraraka said. "He's By Far The Bravest And Most Determined To Be A Hero Than Any Of Us! There's No Way He Would Ever Be In League With A Villain!"
"I agree." Iida said. "Likewise it would be illogical for Midoriya to have anything to do with the League of Villains given his past interactions with them being clearly antagonistic. I don't believe Midoriya would ever be some secret traitor or in league with the Villains."
"Yeah, he saved both me and Mineta from the Villains back in the USJ, it wouldn't make sense for him to be a traitor and be clearly against them at the same time." Asui said. "And remember how damaged he was after the Training Camp? That kind of near fatal damage isn't something that one can fake or stage."
The students were silent after that, not wishing to suspect their own classmate and friend as a traitor.
"Putting that ridiculous assumption aside, no offense Ojiro." Momo said.
"None taken." Ojiro said.
"The device said that Midoriya's other multiple Quirks were dormant." Momo clarified. "Even if All For One gave Izuku multiple Quirks, they would have been usable from the start not hidden and dormant from even Midoriya himself."
"Well, even if we might not know about this whole other Quirks thing, there is something else that the thing said about him." Kyouka said.
"Right." Momo nodded. "The 'Past Betrayal and Torment from a once ally'. It's what compared him with the likes of Kratos and Spawn and their similar betrayals. But what could it mean?"
"Midoriya doesn't like to talk about his past." Iida said. "Aside from his Quirk manifesting late and his admiration for All Might, he never talks about his life before U.A. Not even to me and Uraraka."
"Could it be that...even if I don't like to suggest it or want to think that it could have happened...but do you guys think that Izuku was perhaps bullied or abused? Especially from a former friend?" Uraraka said.
The class was rendered silent again, the very thought of the smiling, friendly, and most compassionate member of all of them being bullied or abused left a sour and vile taste in their mouths.
"It...It would make sense why he is so shy all the time." Mina said, with growing horror and tears in her eyes. "Maybe he was bullied for so long that he's nervous around everyone thinking that someone would...would..." Mina couldn't continue.
"He does show symptoms of bullying." Momo said. "Shyness, self-demeaning thoughts and words, social anxiety, touch starve-"
"Wait touch starve?" Kirishima said. "What the heck is that?"
"Touch Starve or Touch Deprivation is when someone has little to no physical contact with another living thing." Momo explained, hand gripped over her heart with further worry and concern. "Contact with other people is important for social interactions with others especially around a younger age of development. One time when I put my hand on Izuku's left shoulder-um just to ask a question mind you-he flinched and jumped back at me and for a moment...I thought I saw genuine terror on his face."
The students were rapidly growing more and more concerned over Midoriya, with one in exception growing all the more nervous and fearful.
"But Midobro couldn't have had that little interaction with others." Kirishima said, nervously trying to deny that happy, positive Midoriya could be suffering from such a thing. "I mean I'm sure he must have had some friends growing up. Like Bakubro! You two were friends before U.A., right?"
"Yeah..." Bakugou said, the fire in his voice sounding weak almost nonexistent. "We were..."
The others payed no mind to it, assuming it was just Bakugou being his usual anti-social self. Todoroki however stared at Bakugou with suspicion, pieces fitting together in an image that he almost didn't want to think about. He just continued to stare at the explosive teen with suspicion, almost tempted to imagine him with the same ruthless eyes and flames around his body.
"Touch deprivation doesn't necessarily mean that he was never directly touched or interacted with others." Momo said. "Touch Deprivation also can occur when said victim has little Positive interactions, like hugs, high fives, or the occasional pat on the back from a friend. Touch Deprivation, while low in occurrence and normally occur early in a person's age of development, can be a symptom of someone who has experienced numerous and long standing amounts of bullying and other negative interactions, like abuse and assault."
A thick air of fear and worry hung over the students as they continued talking and coming with thoughts about Midoriya, his past, and the weird interactions that Midoriya had during the video. The Big 3 came back from wherever they went, with Mirio looking pale and angry, probably about Eri's counterpart's fate.
Bakugou flinched as he heard them talk, wishing he could simply walk away without it being suspicious. Bakugou was the only one who knew exactly the device meant, about Deku's multiple Quirks coming from the past holders of One For All, and especially his and Deku's past.
Meanwhile, the girls were increasingly more worried over their crush. Uraraka looked down and thought over what Deku must be going through with the teachers.
Meanwhile...
"Ok, spill it." Aizawa said, looking at group in front of him.
Seating in the teacher's meeting room was Izuku Midoriya with All Might sitting next to him, along with Gran Torino and Revovery Girl. Nezu sat close by at the head of the table while Aizawa stood across from Midoriya and Toshinori.
"S-S-Spill what Mr. Aizawa?" Izuku asked nervously.
"Don't play dumb with me Midoriya." Aizawa said, narrowing his eyes. "You too, All Might. The both of you have been acting weird during those Death Battles, especially that last one where I was told that one of my students has multiple Quirks dormant inside of him and experienced a betrayal and torment from a past ally."
"Plus, during that whole video as those two dunderheads discussed the two fighters, you were behaving erratically, Problem Child." Aizawa said to Izuku. "Suddenly getting angry over Zeus like it was a personal vendetta, knowing information about that Kratos person before the video, describing Spawn's feelings, those out of nowhere headaches I saw you experience."
"And you All Might." Aizawa turned his attention towards the former Symbol of Peace. "When the device said that Midoriya had multiple Quirks inside of him, you were looked nervous and looked like you knew before hand. I'm not an idiot. I want to know what the hell is going on with my student and if it will affect the others."
Izuku and All Might looked at each other nervously. Izuku gazed at All Might and nodded at him, said former pro sighing in defeat before nodding towards Nezu.
"I suppose that it is for the best you know of this Eraser." Nezu said.
For the next half an hour, Izuku, All Might, and the others told Aizawa the truth behind Izuku's Quirk, One For All, Izuku unlocking the dormant Quirks of its past users, and the Quirk's origins tied with All For One.
Aizawa sat down, digesting the heap of information that he was just privy to. "I guess that explains the multiple Quirks part and why you were so interested in Midoriya, All Might. You were training him to be the next you."
"Yes." All Might said. "When Midoriya showed me his bravery, his heroism, and selflessness, I knew then that he was worthy. I spent all of 10 months before U.A. training him so that he could inherit my Quirk without experiencing any negative side effects."
"Such as?"
"His limbs exploding out for one."
Aizawa looked to Izuku and said "So you mean that you took the Entrance Exam without first testing the Quirk out?"
"Well All Might gave me One For All the morning of the exam." Izuku said nervously.
"You gave a Quirkless middle schooler your Quirk, that from what you told me will become stronger than when you had it, and didn't give him any beforehand training with it?!"
"Well, we were on a crunch time." All Might said, rubbing the back of his head.
Aizawa started at the Problem Child of his class and thought 'If what they told me is true, then the first time he used it must have been when he saved Uraraka. It explains why he had so little control over it during the Entrance exam and my fitness test. He only had a Quirk for less than a year and he already has shown impressive growth and skill to keep up and even surpass his other classmates.'
Aizawa sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Does anyone else know about One For All?"
"Aside from the people in this room and All For One himself, my friend in the police department, Detective Tsukauchi, my former sidekick, Nighteye, before he died, and Young Bakugou." All Might revealed.
"Bakugou?" Aizawa questioned.
"A-After the Battle Training in the beginning of the year, I told Kacchan about my Quirk being given to me." Izuku said. "I felt that I needed to explain to him, but he didn't believe me. Then after Camino and the Licensing Exam, Kacchan figured it out and confronted me about it, which led to our fight. All Might showed up and Kacchan agreed to keep it a secret."
"Is there any chance that the students will get affected by this in any way?" Aizawa asked, putting the safety of his class before any one student, no matter how chosen or important.
"I assure you Eraser that Mr. Midoriya's Quirk is well secreted and won't cause any trouble to your class or U.A." Nezu said.
"And the multiple Quirks, how many does Midoriya have left to awaken?"
"Excluding Black Whip's awakening during the Joint Class Training Session and myself since I use the base power of One For All from the First, Young Midoriya still has 5 Quirks left to manifest, each one possibly more stronger than the original users." All Might said.
Aizawa rubbed his eyes and sighed exasperated. "You just keep getting more problematic, Problem Child. Alright, I'll keep this secret. If it were to get out, not only will it cause societal unrest, but make Midoriya a target to every Villain hoping to steal the Quirk of the former Symbol of Peace. Can it be stolen?"
"No." Gran Torino jumped in. "From what Shimura, the 7th holder, told me about the Quirk, OFA can only be passed down by ingesting the current holder's DNA but only if the current holder allows it. It can't be taken forcefully by Quirks like All For One's either."
"But that doesn't mean if it got out that Midoriya would be out of danger." Recovery Girl said. "If it were to get out about One For All, Villains would try and take people hostage so that Midoriya could give them his Quirk."
"Alright." Aizawa said. "That settles the multiple Quirk issue, but what about Midoriya's episodes during the video and the 'past betrayal and torment'."
"That is primarily why we are here." Nezu said. "Mr. Midoriya, how did you feel when these episodes occurred?"
"I...I don't know." Izuku said. "One moment, I just felt normal, then I would feel as if I wasn't myself, like another person's memories and feelings popping up in my head."
"It must have been the memories and emotions of this Kratos and Spawn, your counterparts." Nezu said. "Somehow, you experienced the same emotions this Kratos had towards his family's demise, Kratos's anger towards Ares and Zeus, and Spawn's feelings of rage towards Malebogia and his wife moving in."
"But how is that possible?" Recovery Girl said. "The other students that had revealed counterparts didn't experience these same episodes."
"Could it have been because One For All acted up?" Gran Torino said.
"I'm not so sure, Teacher." Toshinori said. "Midoriya didn't react either during the TMNT Battle Royal and the following video. The blue ninja turtle, Leonardo, was also Midoriya's counterpart, and he appeared for two episodes and yet Midoriya never experience any of the episodes from the last one. Plus, I had my counterpart as Hagar and Zeus and yet I never experienced anything, even if I don't have One For All anymore."
"Huh, seems you have brain up there after all, Toshinori." Gran Torino said. "A shame that you fail to use it most of the time." All Might hunched down in slight depression over his mentor's words.
"Regardless of All Might's bad teaching skills, this does raise the question why Midoriya was affected so vastly from the latest video." Nezu said, ignoring All Might's exasperated 'Come on.' "Could it have been because Midoriya had a deeper connection towards Spawn and Kratos than Leonardo, or could it have been that said combatants were of godly and demonic power?"
"That sounds like a half-ass excuse." Aizawa said
"Doesn't hurt to bring it up if we are to examine all base possibilities." Nezu said. "Speaking of which, there is another possibility to Midoriya's sudden episode, remember what the device said about Midoriya's greater connection towards the multiverse?"
"Yeah." All Might said, perking his head up. "The device also said that there was some unknown cosmic intervention from some unknown person. Could it be that someone hacked into it from the outside?"
"Not likely." Aizawa said. "The note that came with box said that if it sensed any form hacking that it would self-destruct. Also, the device said that it was from some unknown celestial and multidimensional deity and the moment it sensed the intrusion it allowed it. Could something like that be possible?"
"When discussing about the possibilities of a multiverse, some of which we have seen include gods, demons, angels, and magic, I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of some kind of deity of the multiverse." Nezu said. "The box itself was sent from another world."
"Um can I ask something?" Izuku said.
"Of course Young Midoriya." All Might said.
"Um perhaps the only way of figuring out what is going on is by asking the box itself?" Izuku said.
"What do you mean Midoriya?" Aizawa asked.
"Well we have seen that the box can process and comply with questions." Izuku said. "The reason why it said all that information was because we were asking about how I was counterparts to Kratos and Spawn. Maybe if we just ask the box or input some kind of command into it, then maybe we can have some answers to it."
"Hmm, an excellent idea, Mr. Midoriya!" Nezu said. "I'm quite surprise that I didn't come up with it. It's settled then, we will go down to where Power Loader keeps the box in safe keeping and simply ask it. But first, would you like to accompany us, Ms. Tokage?"
A startled yelp came from outside the door, which cause Gran Torino, Aizawa, All Might, and Izuku to stand up in alarm. Slowly, the door opened to reveal Setsuna Tokage, sheepishly smiling.
"Oops." Setsuna said. "Um sorry for eavesdropping." The teachers noticed a suddenly moving object move from the corner of the room: an ear. The ear floated over to Setsuna and reattached itself to her.
"You were listening in our meeting?" All Might asked surprised.
"Yup." Setsuna said.
"How much did you hear?" Aizawa questioned, his eyes narrowed.
"If you mean did I hear about Green Bean being freaking All Might's successor and the whole thing about One For All, then don't worry, I know when to keep a secret." Tokage said. "By the way how did you know I was spying on you guys anyway, Principal Nezu?"
"I have been aware of you following us ever since we left the gym." Nezu said. "I also noticed you slip in your ear before the door closed and the door shaking slightly when we revealed to Aizawa about One For All. My question to you now, is why did you intend to follow and spy on us?"
The confident Setsuna suddenly blushed in embarrassment and started rubbing her neck. "U-Um...I was following and spying because I wanted to learn more about Midoriya."
Izuku suddenly burst into a blushing mumbling mess, something that earned the chuckles of the adults. Setsuna herself wasn't faring any better herself, her face scarlet red from blushing and twiddling her fingers.
"I see." Nezu said. "So I suppose that this attempt at spying was merely a teenage act of curiosity and concern over a fellow classmate."
Setsuna was the twinkle in the mouse-rat thing of a principal's eyes and immediately took it, less her developing crush towards the green bean since the Joint Class Training session were to be revealed in front of said green bean.
"Yeah!" Setsuna said. "Sometimes my curiosity just gets the better of me and I just followed along!"
"And you swear to keep the information you heard a secret?" Nezu questioned further.
"Yes."
"Ok." Nezu simply said , jumping out of his seat. "Then let us continue towards the black box."
"Wait that's it?!" Izuku said shocked.
"Yes. Now don't fall behind." Nezu said, waking by Setsuna and leaving the rest to shake off their shock at the unpredictable teacher and catch up with him.
Meanwhile, Nezu thought 'So Ms. Tokage isn't the leak. I let her tag along to see if she would be wondering where the safe was and to try to steal it but seeing her act so embarrassed towards Midoriya proves that she was simply worried about a school crush. Lucky you, Izuku Midoriya. You have an unofficial harem of girls, if the reactions of your fellow classmates was any indication. Although I might have to let Ms. Midnight teach the students about Sexual Ed sooner than expected.'
As the group walked, Izuku hanged around back to talk with Setsuna.
"So um...Tokage-" Izuku said before Setsuna interrupted.
"Nah none of this last name crap, Great Bean." Setsuna said. "You can just call me Setsuna or even a pen name as just our little secret. You know other than One For All."
"O-Ok, Setsuna." Izuku said. "But speaking of which, did you really spy on us just because you were worried?"
Setsuna blushed before immediately saying "I uh I was, but I was also curious. The other girls of Class-1B can testify that I can get really nose in other's secrets, comes nicely with my Quirk allowing me to be great at snooping on others."
"Oh yeah, I have been meaning to ask you more of your Quirk!" Izuku said, immediately switching from nervous blushing mess to excited Quirk fanboy while also pulling out a notebook out of seemingly nowhere. "You Quirk allows you to separate your body parts and let them fly them around in all sorts of places. How many pieces can you split into? How strong are your pieces when it comes to physical attack power? Can you regenerate your pieces of they were destroyed?"
'Where was he keeping that notebook?' Setsuna thought with a sweat drop as Izuku asked her question after question.
"Well, my Quirk allows me to split myself into multiple different pieces, with the biggest limit I have for being able to split apart is 50 pieces." Setsuna explained. "While they do pack a punch they aren't strong enough to knock someone out immediately so I prefer to strike fast and hard to weaken my opponents down for a decisive blow from me or my teammates. And yes, my pieces can regenerate but it's really taxing on my body so I avoid having my lives get destroyed in battle by going fast, hard, and stealthy."
"That's amazing!" Izuku said. "With your Quirk you could make an amazing scout and tracker! You could stick one piece secretly onto a villain and track them down to their lair, communicate with others heroes or police that are far from you if you separate your mouth and ears to talk and listen..."
Izuku continued to go down a Quirk obsessed though train. Setsuna sweat dropped at seeing Midoriya not only dissect her Quirk's weakness and strength and capabilities, but also do it with just so little information that she said.
'I can barely even keep up with his gibberish talk.' Setsuna thought. 'I can see why Monoma says that he is a nerd but...he looks...cute when he talks like that with so much energy...that shy, sweet smile...
Setsuna snapped out of her ramblings and shook off her blush before snapping a finger over Izuku's face. "Slow down Green Bean! I might be a great listener but even I have limits with the word vomit that you spew out like a machine gun."
"Oh! S-Sorry." Izuku said, shyly retreating into a metaphorical shell.
"But I have to say, you look cute when you get all excited." Setsuna said cheekily.
Izuku went back to a blushing mess that caused Setsuna to laugh.
"But seriously, don't go around telling your class my weakness if we do another Joint Class Training Sesh." Setsuna said. "I don't have a problem with your class like Monoma, but I rather not have my class grill me out for possibly spilling are weaknesses to our 'rivals'."
"S-Sure." Izuku said.
"Hey relax Green Bean, loosen up a little bit." Setsuna patted Izuku on the back. "It's just a little talk between friends, that's all."
Izuku gaped at her and asked "Y-You see me as a friend?"
"Of course!" Setsuna said. "I wasn't lying when I said I was curious about you and now that my curiosity is sated and we talked, yeah I see you as a friend."
Izuku blushed at Setsuna's smile before smiling back and said "I see you as a friend too, Suna."
Now it was Setsuna's turn to blush. 'Suna...I like it.'
Meanwhile, in front of them, the adults practically heard every word.
"They do know that we can hear everything they are saying, right?" All Might said.
"Heh, the kid's got game." Gran Torino said.
Aizawa sighed and said "Why do I feel like Problem Child is getting himself a harem?"
"You saw it too?" Gran Torino said.
"I may be tired but I'm not oblivious to the stares the girls have towards Midoriya and any girl that gets close to him."
"Ah young love." Recovery Girl said.
"You better hope that they take it easy when they find out, Chiyo." Gran Torino said. "I bet you wouldn't want to have a whole group of girls asking for condoms or birth control pills!"
The response to that was a whack to Gran Torino's stomach with a cane (:'(), All Might coughing blood at the thought of his successor being sexual with his classmates, and Aizawa groaning at the unwanted nightmares to come.
They were also unaware of the two blushing green haired teens behind them. They could hear what they were saying too.
Meanwhile, back at Heights Alliance...
The Class-1A girls, Nejire, and Mei, calling in on a video call from a laptop, were huddled around in Mina's room, while the guys and the kids spent the time playing games while waiting for Izuku.
"Okay, no beating around the bush this time, we are getting to the bottom of this!" Mina said dramatically, wearing a fedora and sunglasses.
"Where did you get and why are you wearing a fedora and sunglasses?" Kyouka asked.
"I Said No Beating Around The Bush!" Mina said, dodging the question. "Show of hands, Who here is in Love with Izuku Midoriya?!"
All hands were raised, including Mina's.
"Well fuck." Mina cursed, tossing aside her fedora and sunglasses. "Alright, how did the adorable cinnamon roll woo you?"
Ochako went first, blushing and fiddling with her fingers. "W-Well, it started when Deku saved me from the giant robot in the Entrance Exam. He risked his life to save me, broke his arms and legs to save my life. Even though it meant that he wasted his chance to get points, he didn't think twice on it and just saved me like it was instinct. I was amazed at his strength, resolve, and courage, and overtime, these feelings just got more intense. And whenever someone brings it up or I see another girl with Deku...I just feel all weird and messed up. I knew since the Licensing Exam that I liked him, but I wanted to hold off on saying it because I didn't want to distract him from his goal on being a hero."
"I got attracted to Midoriya same as you, Ochako." Tsuyu said. "I was intrigued from him at first with his strength and how it was similar to All Might, but during the attack on the USJ, Midoriya was so calm and collected and ready to throw himself in danger for me and Mineta's sake. And when Shigaraki was about to decay me and Aizawa stopped him, Izuku immediately tried saving me by attacking that villain. I tried to write off these growing feelings when I find out that you liked him too, Ochako."
"Wait you Knew?!" Ochako asked blushing hard.
"Yeah. Ribbit." Asui said. "But the more I saw Izuku, his adorable shyness, his analytical mind, him forgetting to me Tsu all the time, it hurt to try and forget these feelings. And when Izuku was so broken after the Training Camp, I...I just couldn't take it, seeing him try to save Bakugou."
"So that's why you were so adamant on us going!" Momo said.
"Ribbit." Asui nodded. "It hurt to see him risk his life over and over for others before himself, like a hero. And when I saw him fight against Chisaki during the Raid at the Hisaikai, I found him incredible, I felt drawn to him."
"I know what you mean, Asui." Momo said. "I'm ashamed to say that when I first met Izuku, I didn't think much of him. I saw him as the short, awkward kid that got picked Class President over me. And then choosing Iida over me for Class President didn't really do any favors of my option of him. But over time, I began to see more of him."
"What do you mean?" Ochako asked.
"Remember my fight against Tokoyami at the Sports Festival?" Momo said. "Well, after that I began to have a drop in confidence. I felt so low, so insecure. Todoroki helped in our Final Exams but I still couldn't shake the feelings of whether I deserved to be here or not. Then came Izuku, comforting me, telling me that my Quirk was so unique and amazing and doing that cute rambling of his about they many ways my Quirk can be used, that I was brilliant, resourceful, determined, passionate, and beautiful, heh he became a blushing mess after that last part. But he was my shoulder to cry on, a pillar of support when I needed it, and by then I saw more him."
"He told me that he chose Iida over me not just because he was a great and passionate leader, but because he felt that I was a perfect voice of reason to Iida's well Iidaness, and that he didn't want my creativity to be weighted down by my responsibilities. I use to hate how people treated me like glass, like some fragile jewel, but with Izuku it felt sweet, caring, and trusting that I could take care of myself, he trusted me and so I trusted him. And soon that trust slowly turned to what I feel now."
"That's so sweet, Yaomomo." Torru sniffled.
"Thank you, Hagakure." Momo said. "Tell me, how did you fall for Izuku? I always thought you were interested in Ojiro."
"Yeah no." Hagakure said. "Oji's a great guy but I guess he just wasn't my type. Izuku however, he just clicked with me. Whenever I saw him, he was this sweet, cute, socially awkward guy that would always make a big impact, something I wanted to do myself, because of my Quirk. So I admired that about him. But what really got me thinking about Midoriya like now was one time when he accidentally caught me coming out of the shower with only a towel."
"Really?" Asui said.
"Yeah, he had the cutest large blush on his face and immediately turned away." Torru cooed. "I told him it was alright that he didn't have to look away, you know not much to see when you are invisible. But then Midoriya said something that just stunned me."
"I have to look away!" Midoriya said. "It's not polite to look at a pretty girl while she is undressed."
"I was shocked when he said that and I asked him how did he know I was pretty." Torru said. "He said that he didn't have to know what I looked like to know I was pretty. My bubbly nature, my enthusiasm, my infectious energy, my laugh, those were all he needed to know that I was pretty."
"Aaaaawww!" The girls cooed.
"Yeah, I did the same after he ran off embarrassed." Torru continued. "I started looking at Midoriya differently. I saw how heroic he is, how kind and compassionate, how cute he looks when he is writing in those notebooks of his. But every so often I see when he is alone, he has this look of sadness on him, his eyes looked empty, without that positive energy that he always brings out in people...it hurt my heart to see it. So I whenever I saw him like that I made it my personal mission to make him smile again and have his eyes that I love to see gain life again."
"Ok stop gals, you are making me want to cry!" Mina said, rubbing her eyes.
"What about you Mina?" Ochako asked. "I always thought you were into Kirishima."
"Nah, me and Kiri are just friends." Mina said. "Sometimes I look at him like a little brother, a little brother that I love to tease and feel better. But with Midori, he was different. He was always fun to tease, and he does look cute rambling on and on about Quirks and such. I guess I stared to love him around the Cultural Festival. After we would practice, Midori would always come to me asking for extra lessons. He looked so adorable whenever he missed a step but he kept trying with this determined look. After a few extra lesson, I asked why he was so determined and he told me it was for Eri."
"For Eri?" Momo asked.
"Yeah, Midori told me that when he and Mirio visited her at the hospital, she told them that she didn't know how to smile. Izuku was so intently focused on showing Eri a good time so that she could smile. My heart went so fast I thought I was going to explode. So I worked extra hard to get Midori ready, I even gave him more time to dance in the show before he had to go and set up the pulley for Monoma. And when the show was over, he came over to me and thanked me with such a big smile on his face, showing me that Eri was smiling, and my heart just melted. And I knew then that I fell for him, the boy with the heart of a hero that would go through hell and back to make someone smile."
After a brief moment to wipe away the tears from her eyes she turned to Kyouka. "Alright Jiro, what about you?"
"W-Well, I guess I also started having feelings for him before the Cultural Fetsival." Kyouka said, fumbling with her jacks. "I went to Midoriya for help on how to organize my notes to teach the band."
"That was Izuku?" Momo said.
"Yeah." Jirou said. "And he was so enthusiastic about it that he helped me out immediately. He looked over my notes and he just kept praising me on how good there were and only made some slight tweaks to them and by the time he was done, they looked amazing. I thanked him for helping me but he then suddenly asked why I was so nervous about music if I was so amazing at it."
"I didn't know why I told him, but they way he looked at me with this gentle expression...i-it was like I could tell him anything. And so I spilled the beans and told him how I told my parents that I wanted to be a hero and not a musician like them. I was so guilty because I felt like I was putting all their work teaching me to waste. But then they told me that they were fine with it, saying that it was my choice what to do with my life and that I could be both a hero and still love and do music."
"Then Izuku started spilling to me about his past."
"What?!" The girls cried out in shock.
"W-Well not all of it!" Jirou waved it off. "Just a certain part of it. He told me how ever since he could remember anything that he wanted to be a hero, the kind of hero that saves people with a smile of his face, the kind to give people hope. But nobody truly believed in him. Said that a Quirkless loser couldn't be a hero, that he was worthless. But he never gave up and kept running towards his dream that he was envious of me for having people who believe in me and what I could be."
"I immediately said that he would be the only person envious of me. I started to degrade myself, saying that I wasn't pretty like you gals, but Izuku immediately shut me down and said that it wasn't true. He said I didn't need to look as pretty as others girls, because I was already pretty. I was shocked. He immediately apologized but I just hugged him and thanked him. I knew right then that my heart belonged to Izuku Midoriya."
"Wow." Nejire said. "That was very sweet of him. So Izu of him."
"So what about you Ms. Hado?" Momo asked. "How did you start to like Izuku?"
"Hey hey, none of that Ms. Hado." Nejire said. "It's just Nejire. But as for me and Izu, I guess it all started after the Hisaikai raid. When I saw Izu fighting Overhaul, I was absolutely amazed. He looked so powerful, he looked like All Might with more lightning around him, he kicked Chisaki into the air with one kick! But I knew that he though he was fighting, he was strategizing, he sent Chisaki up into the air to minimize damage and tossed him near the hole and away from the homes. Back then was when I started to look at Izu with more interest."
"Then he visited me with Eri before the Cultural Festival." Nejire continued. "Mirio was there too but when I saw Izu with Eri, like a dutiful father with his daughter, my heart started to beat faster, and even though I may be a little bit of an airhead, even I knew that he was staring at me. I actually got so embarrassed deep down but also pleased that he was looking at me. And not with the looks that most guys have, but rather amazement. I didn't know why then, but I wanted to try extra hard at the talent show."
"So when I saw him with Eri and Mirio during my performance, I was so happy and more determined to do my best." Nejire smiled. "He congratulated when I won and I swore that my heart had more butterflies than when I was on stage. Then after the Cultural Festival, he told me why he was late for the Festival."
"Oh yeah." Mina said. "He said that he was going to get some new rope for the pulley to support Aoyama, but I was curious why it took him so long."
"He said along the way he fought against Gentle Criminal." Nejire revealed.
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah, I was shocked too." Nejire said. "He told me that Gentle Criminal wanted to sneak into the Festival to show his greatness. He told me that he fought him so hard, so determined not to allow him to go through with it because of us. He said that he saw how hard we all worked, how hard I worked, for the Festival, how he promised Eri and wanted to save her from her darkness." Nejire started to tear up. "He then said 'You were working so hard for your dream and you looked so beautiful that I didn't want it to go to waste. I fought so that you all could smile and be happy'." I knew then that I loved him. How couldn't I love a guy so thoughtful, charming, cute, and compassionate as him."
The girls started to tear up too. They all gained a new reason to love Izuku Midoriya.
"Huh, just when you think Muscles can't make you fall for him harder, he just proves you wrong." Mei said over the laptop.
"What about you Mei?" Uraraka asked. "What made you like Deku so much? I always thought you saw him as just a customer?"
"Yeah, at first I saw Muscles as a way to advertise my babies during the Sports Festival and afterwards as a guinea pig to test them out on the field." Mei said. "But over the time that I worked on his gear and talked with him over it, something changed. I noticed how I started to enjoy talking with Muscles, how I was always so eager to have him come in and talk, about his gear or what I'm working on, how much I ft my heart beat faster when he said that he needed me."
"He put up with my admitting my eccentric personality. He helped me test my babies even though he always had that fearful look that they were going to blow up in his face." Mei continued as she looked down, guilt in her face before smiling. "But he would always help me out with a smile, said that it was the least he could do for all I've done for him, said that seeing me smile was payment enough. So I soon pieced it together why I worked so hard to build him his gear, why I spend day and night working on them with more vigor than any of my other babies, which coincidentally are also the ones that don't blow up all or fail. It was because I fell for Midoriya. Cute, oblivious, muscly, passionate, heroic Midoriya."
The girls smiled at that, picturing Izuku in their minds, smiling at them.
"And it doesn't hurt that he's packing." Mei suddenly said.
"EEEEEEHHHHH?!" All the girls cried out, blushing like crazy.
"W-W-What do you mean by that exactly?!" Jirou cured out blushing.
"I-Is this about when you were feeling Izuku up before the Licensing Exam?!" Uraraka blurted out.
"Yep!" Mei said, a blush on her face. "Felt him up to get his measurements just right and boy did I like what I felt. Those muscles, his pecks, his downstairs package..." Mei started to drool, blood leaking from her nose.
"WHAT?!" Momo cried out. "HOW INCREDIBLY BOLD OF YOU!"
"WHAT SIZE IS HE?!" Mina screamed out, her eyes practically oozing pure excitement and desperate want.
The girls moved closer to the screen as Mei whispered it to their ears.
"That's not bad." Mina said.
"Soft." Mei added.
...
The girls' minds momentarily shut down at the last piece of information before restarting. Uraraka started blushing and muttering so much she started to float. Asui was staring at nothing blankly, a small, ever growing blush on her cheeks. Momo hid her face with her hands but they didn't need x-ray vision to see that she was blushing and drooling. Mina's mind went completely blank before her mind flooded with rather descriptive imagery of Izuku while drooling with a nose bleed. Jirou straight up fainted. Hagakure's expression was hard to notice but if you squinted and heard you could see that she was drooling and giggling like a mad woman. Nejire meanwhile had a simple smiling face, however her eyes were wide and clouded and her nose was leaking blood.
The guys and kids at the living room all were completely puzzled when they heard a loud, ear piercing chorus of girlish shrieks.
Back over with Midoriya, Setsuna and the teachers, they reached Power Loader's lab, where the device was hidden and safely secured.
Power Loader noticed them come in and hopped over to them. "Oh Principal Nezu!" He called out. "Glad you are here! Listen about that thing you asked abou-" Power Loader stopped at the pointed look from Nezu. "S-So, what are you here for?"
"For the device, Power Loader." Nezu said. "After Midoriya's recent episodes during the last video, we have decided that the only possible explanation would be asking the device itself. Would you please retrieve it?"
"Sure thing." Power Loader said.
He walked over to the far end of his lab where he pressed onto a piece of the wall and pushed on it. The part of the wall moved back, another piece of the wall next to it sliding open, to reveal a highly technological-looking safe. He pressed a series of codes while Nezu went over to him and the two both stared at a retinal eye scanner. The safe opened to reveal the black box that stored the Death Battle Videos and data.
They moved it to the work table and gathered around it.
"So, um, how does this work?" Izuku said. "Do we press a button or something?"
"Actually," Nezu said as he pressed a button on the side and the device soon activated. "That's exactly how it works."
The device shifted, the top of the box shifting before a holographic screen popped up in front of it.
"DEATH BATTLE BLACK BOX STORAGE DEVICE ONLINE!" The device's robotic voice called out. "HOW MAY I HELP YOU TODAY?"
"Wow." Setsuna said. "That was easy and straight forward."
The teachers looked to Izuku, as if expecting him to ask the question. Izuku gulped nervous. Setsuna placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a supporting smile. Izuku shield back and steeled his nerves.
He looked back to the device and asked "U-Um can you tell me why I experienced those recent episodes during the last video?"
The device responded by scanning Izuku with a red light. "SCANNING INDIVIDUAL WHILE ACCESSING MEMORY LOGS! SCANNING COMPLETE! INDIVIDUAL IN QUESTION TO BE IZUKU MIDORIYA! EVENT IN QUESTION REFERS TO EPISODES THAT OCCUR A FEW HOURS AGO! IS THIS ACCURATE?"
"U-Uh, y-yeah." Izuku said.
"MEMORY LOGS AND VISUAL USE CAMERA DATA OBTAINED DURING THE EVENT IN QUESTION DETECTS A SUDDEN SURGE OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL ENERGY CENTERED AROUND THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL KNOWN AS IZUKU MIDORIYA!" The device said.
"Why did Young Midoriya experience this event and not the other students, teachers, or heroes?" All Might asked.
"CAUSE OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL ENERGY SURGE CAUSED BY TWO KEY FACTORS!"
"And those are?" Aizawa questioned.
"KEY FACTOR NUMBER 1: INDIVIDUAL KNOWN AS IZUKU MIDORIYA HAS BEEN SCANNED AND DETERMINED TO BE A CATALYST AND KEYSTONE FIGURE OF THE MULTIVERSE, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A NEXUS POINT! ONE OF A STILL YET TO BE DETERMINED NUMBER BUT THEORIZED INFINITE NUMBER OF THE EVER EXPANDING COSMOS OF THE MULTIVERSE!"
"Wait so, Green Bean, uh I mean Izuku, here is some kind of important person in the multiverse?" Setsuna said, correcting herself after a pointed look from Aizawa.
"CORRECT!" The device responded. "EACH UNIVERSE IN THE MULTIVERSE HAS A KEY FACTOR AND FOCAL POINT THAT TIES ITSELF WITH OTHER PARALLEL UNIVERSE! SUCH FOCAL POINTS CAN INCLUDE PEOPLE, CERTAIN KEY EVENTS, AND EVEN BIOLOGICAL AND SUPERNATURAL POINTS OF INTEREST! THIS UNIVERSE, DESIGNATED EARTH-626, KEY FACTORS INCLUDE THE APPEARANCE OF BIOLOGICAL ANOMALIES KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC OF SAID WORLD AS QUIRKS, ALL FOR ONE AND THE FIRST USER OF ONE FOR ALL, ACCESS TO THEIR IDENTITIES CLASSIFIED GIVEN TIME ZONE OF SAID UNIVERSE, ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL, TOSHINORI YAGI AKA ALL MIGHT, TENKO SHIMURA AKA TOMURA SHIGARAKI, AND IZUKU MIDORIYA AKA DEKU!"
The group was shocked. All Might was surprised that he was a key factor in the theorized infinite multiverse, and while that was an definite ego boost, he was more worried that his fears over OFA being knowledge to the device were fully realized and Shigaraki to be an important figure too. Izuku shared the same reaction to his predecessor. He then thought of an idea.
"U-Um computer or box or-just whatever, can you possibly restrict mention of One For All and it's connection with me and All Might?" Izuku asked.
"REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGED!" The device said. "FAILSAFE CODE AND VOCAL AUTHORIZATION FROM REQUESTED USER NEEDED!"
"Izuku Midoriya. Code: Um uhhh..." Izuku said, trying to think of a code to say.
"REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGED!" The device said. "FAILSAFE CODE: UM UHHH ESTABLISHED BY IZUKU MIDORIYA! INFORMATION REVOLVING ONE FOR ALL AND CONNECTIONS TO IZUKU MIDORIYA AND TOSHINORI YAGI AKA ALL MIGHT RESTRICTED FROM MENTION UNTIL REQUEST AND FAILSAFE CODE FROM REQUESTED USER!"
"Really, Problem Child?" Aizawa said with a sigh. Izuku rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"At least Young Midoriya is the only one that can access and change that order." All Might said, patting Izuku on the back. "By the way, very smart of you Young Midoriya."
"T-Thanks All Might." Izuku said, embarrassed still but happy at his mentor's praise.
"As wise as Midoriya's decision is, I believe that there is one final reason for Midoriya's episode still to be known." Nezu reminded them. "What is the last reason?"
The device responded with "KEY FACTOR NUMBER 2: OUTSIDE INTERVENTION FROM MULTIDIMENSIONAL INDIVIDUAL!"
"WHAT?!" Izuku yelled shocked. "What do you mean by that?!"
"FROM GATHERED DATA AND INFORMATION FROM DEVICE'S CREATOR, CODE NAME: WIZARD, CERTAIN UNIVERSES OF THE MULTIVERSE ARE WATCHED OVER BY A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO POSSESS INFLUENCE AND POWER OVER THE MULTIVERSE! SAID INDIVIDUALS CAN BE SIMILARLY CLASSIFIED AS DEITIES OR WATCHERS OF THE MULTIVERSE!"
"INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE FOR EVENT OCCURRENCE IS IDENTIFIED BY A SINGULAR NAME: ZAYDEN!"
"Zayden?" Nezu said. "Who is this Zayden?"
"ACCESS TO DATA OVER MULTIDIMENSIONAL BEINGS IS RESTRICTED BY USER: WIZARD!"
"Dammit." All Might cursed. "Can you tell us why he would want to harm Young Midoriya?"
"ALLOWED DATA OVER MULTIDIMENSIONAL BEINGS STATE THAT THEY ARE RESTRICTED FROM HARMING INDIVIDUALS OR DIRECT INTERFERENCE UNLESS GIVEN CLEARANCE BY THE COUNCIL OF RICKS OR BY ANY HIGHER FORM OF MULTIVERSAL INFLUENCE!"
"I don't know. Looked like harming to me." Setsuna grumbled. "Also, Council of Ricks?"
"MESSAGE RECEIVED AND OBTAINED BY MULTIVERSAL BEING KNOWN AS ZAYDEN!"
The group was shocked once again. Nezu frowned wondering if this message was a response to their questions.
What does it say?" Izuku asked.
"MESSAGE SAYS: BECAUSE IT WAS FUN AND AMUSING!"
The group was now full on shell shocked and on guard. Nezu frowned, looking around to see if they could see if this Zayden person was watching them from anywhere. Aizawa frowned too, for so on edge and angry that some multiverse god or something shit harmed his student just for fun.
"Is there any way to safeguard, Young Midoriya from these episodes again?" All Might asked. "Is there any way to also safeguard the other students, teachers, and heroes?"
"EPISODES UNLIKELY TO OCCUR TO OTHER VIEWED INDIVIDUALS DUE TO LESSER MULTIVERSE INFLUENCE THAN AFOREMENTIONED INDIVIDUALS!" The device said. "DEVICE POWER SUPPLY UNABLE TO FULLY HOLD BACK POWER OF A MULTIDIMENSIONAL BEING! HOWEVER, A TEMPORARY IMMUNITY TOWARDS OUTSIDE MULTIDIMENSIONAL ENERGIES RELATED TOWARDS MULTIVERSAL BEINGS OR CONNECTION TOWARDS MULTIVERSAL COUNTERPARTS THAT COULD RESULT INTO EPISODES CAN BE APPLIED TOWARDS IZUKU MIDORIYA! AUTHORIZED CONSENT IS NEEDED!"
Izuku looked to the teachers who nodded. Izuku said "I accept."
The devil responded "PRESS HAND UPON SCANNER BELOW!" The front side of the box shifted to reveal a hand scanner panel. Izuku nervously placed his hand onto the panel. "APPLYING TEMPORARY MULTIDIMENSIONAL SHIELDING!"
Izuku felt a flood of energy rush into him that almost cause him to fall to his knees, nausea and vertigo clouding his sight. Images poured into his mind at lighting speeds that Izuku could process the images before they faded away.
Suddenly, the images stopped and Izuku's wave of nausea and vertigo suddenly left. Izuku almost dropped to the floor but All Might and Setsuna grabbed onto him.
"Izuku!"/"Young Midoriya!" Setsuna and All Might said, concerned.
"What happened?" Aizawa said with alarm.
"SHIELDING APPLIED!" The device said. "IZUKU MIDORIYA IS NOW SHIELDED FROM OUTSIDE MULTDIMENSIONAL ENERGIES! SHIELDING WILL PROVIDE TEMPORARY IMMUNITY FROM FURTHER EPISODES! SHIELDING TEMPORARY AND WILL LIKELY FADE AWAY WITHIN A FEW DAYS OR WITH ENOUGH MULTIDIMENSIONAL ENERGY EXPOSED TOWARDS SHIELD!"
"I guess we can be assured that you won't be having any more episodes, Green Bean." Setsuna said cheerfully.
"Yeah." Izuku said, his voice tired and woozy.
"MESSAGE RECEIVED AND OBTAINED FROM ZAYDEN!" The device suddenly said.
"What does it say?" Nezu asked, a frown of worry on his face.
"MESSAGE READS: DO NOT FEAR I WONT INTERFERE AFTER THIS...MUCH! HAVE A NICE TIME WATCHING THE VIDEOS! I'LL BE WATCHING OVER YOU! AS ALWAYS!"
"Well that's not creepy at all." Setsuna said sarcastically.
"Nezu, should we continue these viewings of the videos?" Aizawa asked. "I find that we are being watched by some multiverse god or whatever to be quite concerning."
"I understand your concerns, Eraser." Nezu said. "However, if this Zayden is to be believed he has already been watching us and is continuing to watch over us regardless of what we do. Plus, the device said that these multiversal beings seem to only be able to watch over us, not interfere so I doubt that this Zayden will reveal anything to the Villains or harm out students and staff. We will continue the videos tomorrow, especially now that we are certain that what occurred with Izuku Midoriya won't repeat or affect the other students, teachers, and heroes."
Aizawa stared at the rodent principal for a while before giving in with a "Fine."
Nezu turned to Izuku and the rest and said "With that I feel that this is enough for one day." Nezu gave a pointed look to All Might before he could raise any objections. "Ms. Tokage, could you please escort Mr. Midoriya to Class-1A's dorm? I feel that after such an experience that Mr. Midoriya is too tired to walk on his own."
"Yes sir." Setsuna said.
With a nod between Izuku and All Might, the two walked out towards the dorms.
As they left, All Might turned to Nezu "Nezu, sir, I know that Young Midoriya has already been through enough, but it doesn't sit right with me just glossing over that other fact the device revealed."
"You refer to when the device said that Midoriya's connection towards Kratos and Spawn were because of some early betrayal and torment from a former ally or friend." Nezu said it as less of a question but more of a statement. "Rest assured All Might that this won't be glossed over or swept under the rug. I have my suspicions of what it entails but I feel it best to leave it unsolved for now."
"I have to for once agree with All Might on this sir." Aizawa said. "I think I have the same suspicions as you and if that is the case, I feel that leaving this issue unresolved could be a recipe for disaster later on."
"And I completely agree, Eraserhead." Nezu said. "But given Midoriya's state, I feel if we pull on that thread that it could also lead to disaster. The boy is obviously overwhelmed with what happened and is likely to face more when he arrives at the dorms. If we push too far, Midoriya might very well unravel or even keep it to himself."
"You believe Young Midoriya would hide it from us?" All Might questioned.
"I saw Midoriya's look when that comparison was revealed and it was a look of both recognition and terror. He knows but if we push him too hard, he will close up and withdraw from us." Nezu said.
Aizawa sighed and said "Fine. I might not like it but we'll follow your lead. I have to go out on patrol soon, so I'll see Midoriya back at the dorms before I go off."
All Might sighed too defeated and walked off with a goodbye.
As Nezu saw them leave, Power Loader reappeared into the room.
"Now," Nezu said. "I believe you were about to tell me that someone tried to steal the device?"
The next morning...
A black limo stopped onto the curb, it's two escorted passengers stepping off by the gates of U.A. High, the rodent principal waiting by the entrance.
The oldest of the two was a man in his late 30's-early 40's, with brown hair, glasses, tall, and wore a regular polo shirt with khaki shorts. Beside him, the youngest of the two, was a 17 year old blonde girl, with glasses, and wearing a blue short skirt and emerald green blouse.
"Welcome to U.A. High." Nezu greeted.
"Wow, this place looks just like Toshi said it was." The man said. "Big."
"Is Izu-I mean Uncle Toshi and Midoriya here today?" The blonde girl asked before blushing and rewording her question.
"Yes they are." Nezu said with a hidden smirk. "I believe they are already finishing up today's classes. You two can inspect the device and see them in time."
"Thank you, Principal Nezu." The man said. "We are really excited to see this 'inter-dimensional black box' for ourselves."
"Of course." Nezu said. "Right this way, Shield Family. Best not delay, I'm sure a few certain friends would very much want to see you again."
AAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNDDDDD SCENE!
Hope you guys liked the chapter and the plot so far. And yes, I am in this story as a typical multiverse watcher and Guardian. Yeah I know, Oooh original. But I actually have already done this on my other story, Welcome to the MCU, and what better way to cause some multiversal shenanigans than little ole me.
Also hope that you guys liked the reason why each of the girls fell for the cinnamon roll and remember that these events are only occurring in my fic's timeline and not in the canon timeline. I wanted for each of the girls to be attracted to a different part of Izuku, like Mina attracted to Midoriya's compassion and determination for others, Momo for Izuku's care, trust, and mind, Kyouka for Izuku's honesty and kindness and so on. As for Tokage, she is one of my most favorite characters out of Class-1B and really underrated and cool and you can expect for some hi-jinks to happen when the girls find out about two more girls after the Green Bean's heart.
And also, yeah David and Melissa Shield are in the house and present for possible future All Might's and Izuku's to meet their gory and gruesome ends in simulated Death Battle fashion. Yeah I know, I'm twisted son of a bitch.
Also, if you guys are wondering why I put a sad smile face after RC whacked Gran Torino...if you are not manga reader don't ask and if you are one, then you might want to check the latest chapter. I send my regards to your future wailing selves.
Also, fun note, this was the longest chapter that I have ever done so far for this series, and you can expect future Interlude chapters to follow the same trend of length and plot importance.
With all that out of the way, hope you guys like the chapter and leave your comments in the reviews, check out my other stories if you like, guess away on which characters will be who in future Death Battles, and keep each other safe and healthy.
This has been Zayden StormVoid and remember to Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!
