Hello everyone and welcome to the last chapter before the Sports Festival Arc! I hope you like these twists. Oh, and before I forget I can't post the scene here do to the sites rules (and because of a bit of a mess with several users who I think hate me). I'm sorry for the tease but I'll post it in Ao3 later for anyone who wants to read it.
I like to give thanks to the last batch of reviewers. So thank you Loralie Gold Dream, s082829, Low-Lying, reynardgautama, Hardcasekara, and nene9131 for your feedback and thoughts. I also like to thank my stories reader favorites and/or followers.

Lillie looked around making sure no one had followed her. Though who would follow her as this section of the city had been abandoned for a few years now. In this area, an old warehouse was her destination. She took a moment to recall that there was once a park here. A nostalgic thought crossed over her as she remembered the first time she came to this world nearly seven decades ago. 'To think how much time has past.' She wondered what changes had happened to her family and to their world.
Walking into the warehouse she looked around. There didn't seem to be any indication that anyone else had been in the building for years. Reaching into her pocket Lillie pulled out an object wrapped in cloth. Opening it a green glow seemed to lit up the building as a jade colored stone. Lillie held it up as its glow started to lit up brighter and brighter. "I figured I would find you here." Lillie turned her head to the side as a figure walked out of the shadows. "After all this one of the places where the Bifrost connects both worlds."
Lillie looked at the man as he walked out. Overhead the bird-lizard creature landed next to him. Lillie stared at the familiar creature. "An archaeopt." Lillie's eyes narrowed as she crutches the stone in her hands and moved it to her side. "So, I see one of Avalon's hunters have ended up in this world by accident."
The hunter had a chuckle at this. Reaching into his pockets he pulled out a glowing ruby red stone. "A lot has changed our Alchemists managed to find a way to make our own Waystones." He clutched his stone in his hand. "Not as precise as yours yes but it gets the job done all the same."
That was unsettling to hear. Lillie didn't expect the Avalon Hunters to ever figure out how to make Waystones. It was a closely guarded secret after all. "You do know who you are dealing with."
"Lilith H. Discordia, or Lillie as your commonly know." The Hunter's hood moved back enough to show his purple eyes staring at her. Behind them, a mix of rage, hatred, and excitement could be made out. "The daughter of Eris Discordia, named after your grandmother the Queen herself Lilith Discordia." The Hunter returned his stone as he took out his two short swords. "I know who you are Princess."
Lillie had a chuckle at this. It had been a while since anyone spoke of that title. A title that held little meaning to her because it wasn't her own. "Well then at least you can tell your fellow hunters who killed you in the afterlife." Her arm glowed as she reached out only for the Hunter to jump to the side.
He smashed with his swords sending lightning bolts aimed at Lillie. The Succubus jumped out of the way taking to the air. "It seems our suspicions on the nature of your telekinesis is correct." He slammed the blades together as electricity arced across the whole building, "There is a brief moment before the grid grabs a hold of your target."
The hunter focused the blades forward as arcs of electricity shot out aimed at Lillie who had only enough time to brace herself. The electricity surged through her body bringing her out of the air. The Hunter wasted no time moving in. As he got closer and was about to swing his blades he was captured in a bluish glow and tossed into the nearby wall. Lillie stood up with her arms both glowing as she picked up the scattered objects in the warehouse. "I may be out of practice," She glared at the hunter as he stood up. "But you don't have what it takes to kill me!"
Her opponent had a smirk at this. He got into a stance ready to rush her. It had been months since his last kill. "Let's test that shall we."
Mina stood at the flats as she looked over the text once again she had to make sure she knew which floor Izuka's apartment was. The back of Mine's mind was telling her just how sudden all of this was. Worry filled her at what Izuka was thinking about this. Stealing her nerves the pink girl walked to the apartment that was listed and knocked on the door. A few seconds later the door was opened as Izuka answered the door.
"Izuka who is it?" Inko asked as she walked up behind her daughter. Mina looked at Inko quickly putting together that this was Izuka's mother. Mina was actually taken back by how normal looking she was compared to her daughter. "Oh, is this one of your new classmates you told me about?"
Izuka gave her mother a nod. "Mom this is Mina Ashido."
Mina waved at the woman after being introduced. A smile formed on her face. "Nice to meet you, ma'am."
A few minutes later Mina was in the apartment as Inko wasted no time asking Mina about herself. The older green-haired woman was so happy to know that her daughter was making friends with her class. Walking into Izuka's room, however, was not what Mina expect. "You have a surprising amount of All Might related things."
Izuka had a blush as she looked away. Of course, she did. All Might was her idol after all. The memory of his words from yesterday still rang in her mind. How he had picked her to take on his role as the Symbol of Peace. "Yeah, I know." Izuka looked at her as the awkwardness started to set in. "So why did you wanted to come over all of a sudden?"
Mina blushed a bit as her mind raced with thoughts. Thoughts of what they could do together. Mina pushed those away. "Well, I wanted to ask about this." She pulled her shirt up a bit and showed her the tattoo-like lines on her back. "They appeared yesterday and I was wondering if you think it had something to do with your bite from yesterday?"
This was a new one for Izuka. For a moment she wondered if this was even her fault. No sudden changes like this rarely happen with Quirks. The only way they do was with sudden genetic changes like what happened to her. "I-I have no idea." She paused looking at the lines as they almost seemed to hug Mina's spine. "Where do they begin?"
Mina had a light blush on her face as she realized what she was about to say. "it begins around the sides of my breasts and continues until just above my..." Mina was about to finish but Izuka got the picture as her full red face was anything to go by.
"M-m-maybe it's temporary?" Izuka was just throwing it out there though something in the back of her mind told her that this wasn't the case. This was yet another thing she had discovered about her Quirk.
Mina let out a sigh. She could feel something like a little voice in the bad of her head telling her to say something. To tell her how she was feeling. It was practically demanding her to speak up. The more she tried to ignore it the stronger it seemed to get. "Screw it." She wrapped her arms around Izuka and looked into her eyes. "Izuka I came here to tell you something," Mina whispered into her ear. "I think I've fallen in love with you."
Izuka's eyes widened in surprise at this. Had Mina fallen in love with after only a few days? 'Did those markings have something to do with it?' Izuka's mind started to move at a rapid pace as possibilities flooded her mind. 'Or did she already have an attraction to me and this is only amplified in it?'
At that moment a voice spoke to Izuka within her head. A voice that she hadn't heard for at least two years. 'Claim your Bride.' For a moment Izuka felt like a daze as Mina kissed her lips. 'Claim the first of many lovers.'
Before Mina knew it Izuka was returning the kiss with an almost ravenous intent. The pink girl was pushed to the bed as Izuka could feel something seem to take over. The sound of a ripped shirt crossed their ears as Izuka ripped apart Mina's clothes.
Lillie swag her fist meeting the hunters own. From the impact, she could tell he was likely wearing a gauntlet under the gloves in order to give him both protection and likely the strength needed to face her. "You know in the seventy years since you left whatever advantages you had over us have slowly faded away!" Out of the wrist of the other glove, a knives shot out which he sang stabbing into her right shoulder. "Avalon is no longer on the defensive we are pulling our weight around!"
The hunter tried to stab her with his short sword but Lillie reacted fast twisting her body and delivering an elbow to his face. "So what you're still just a bunch of islands!"
The hunter sipped the blood coming out of his mouth from his busted lip. A chuckle started before turning into full-blown laughter. "You really have no idea how much thing have changed!" He held his blade in a reverse grip. "Let me give you an idea, our leadership no longer denies that we hunters are not chartered anymore."
That shook Lillie to her core. It was common knowledge to many that the hunters were sponsored. Yet, her grandmother seemed always to hold that back. To hear that they could freely admit to it without any repercussions. Lillie's gaze hardened as her hair started to stand up as her glow surrounded her. Objects all around her were lifted into the air as Lillie shot them each at her opponent. The hunter managed to dodge each of them as he ignited the blade with purple flames.
The hunter brought his sword down attending to cut her head off. Instead, Lillie acted and grabbed the blade. She winced in pain but held firm. A misconception people had about swords was they would always cut through anything so grabbing it would naturally cut you. The reality was that as long as it didn't slide across your skin the blade wasn't dangerous. Still grabbing one on fire wasn't the brightest idea. Lillie dug her nails into his neck causing the hunter to let go of his sword from shock.
With her burned hand Lillie pulled the knife from her shoulder and rammed it into the underside of his jaw. She then quickly jammed her palm into the hilt as the blade priced up through the underside of his skull and finally into his brain. Lillie let go as his body fell limp on the ground. She winced in pain holding her burned and slightly cut palm. Her shoulder was killing her, light burns and bruises mirrored her body. Her injuries would heal away with time. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out the Waystone as the green glow filled the building.
When it faded Lillie was gone with only the fallen body of her opponent being any indication that she was ever in the building. The archaeopt flew down as it looked at its master. Jumping on to his chest the beast bit into the exposed hilt and pulled the knife from its resting place in his head.
The knife landed as the beast jumped off. For a few minutes, nothing seemed to happen. His left hand started to twitch before slowly forming into a fist.
Shoto ate his dinner in silence as he tried to avoid any form of eye contact with the man sitting across from him. The man in question is his father, Enji Todoroki better known as the Pro Hero Endeavor. Neither spoke as the only other person with them Shoto's older sister, Fuyumi Todoroki, watched the two of them.
The atmosphere was as it usually is at the Todoroki household. Enji looked at his son before breaking the silence that usually filled the household. "So, Shoto tell me about your class."
His words caused Shoto to looked at him with a hint of curiosity to his expression. A few seconds passed by before Shoto asked his own question. "Why do you want to know?"
Shoto knew that his father could very likely request the information if he wanted. Endeavor was well known for his investigations. He was right as Enji had looked into the case himself and seen the report. What caught his attention was one student of notice. "I wanted to see if anyone in class stands out to you."
Silence filled the room yet again. In such a sort time Shoto had already come to a few conclusion about many of his classmates. The one that stood out the most to him had to be their newly elected Vice President. "Izuka Midoriya," He stopped as he looked at him. "She possesses a rare hybrid Quirk, got first place in the entrance exam and yet her control over her own power is sloppy."
"Yes, the girl with the three-way hybrid Quirk." Enji's words didn't surprise Shoto in the slightest. Enji had read the information the school was willing to let him read. From the report, it was stated she took out a whole group of them rather easily. Granted they had made a mistake of dropping her off in the zone where she was most powerful but still it was impressive.
The last bit of the report went on how she was able to inflict a devastating burn to Nomu. One which allowed All Might to turn the tide of battle. Enji didn't want to say this but he felt like this girl might be someone who could give his son a challenge. 'Perhaps he'll choose to use his left side come the Sports Festival.'
Fuyumi decided to get in on the conversation. "I take it she's pretty then?"
It was just a little tease to her brother. Shoto while not showing a change in expression at this did pause for a second. Yes, Izuka was physically attractive. That much was very clear. Even her mutations seemed to do her more favors in that regard please her hero outfit was surprisingly good on her. He finally realized he had lost himself in thought for a while. He spoke as if simply stating a fact. "Yes."
His pause at this didn't go unnoticed by Enji. The number two hero didn't put much thought into his son's love life. Then again he was focused solely on his son surpassing him and All Might. 'He is of that age though.'
Izuka Midoriya was as his son put it strange. Her Quirk was a rarity and from when the files put in was rather strong. With limited training and control, if his son was to be believed, She already showed that she had more than enough power behind herself. True she did get to the number one spot due to rescue points. Points earned by taking on a Zero-Pointer and defeating it with one attack.
The man was curious about the girl. Looking down at his now finished plate Enji got up. "I'm going to take a walk I trust you both can clean up the table?"
"Yeah, we kind of always do," Fuyumi answered her father as he walked out of the room. She stopped and looked at Shoto who had just finished eating. "So you wouldn't happen to have feelings for this girl right?" This time it wasn't teasing but an honest question.
Shoto chose to not answer it. After all, he didn't want to think about it.
A few minutes later Enji was walking down the street thinking to himself. Usually when he wanted to think the would be in his gym. However, as he had already trained and after learning the hard way that overtraining yielded fewer is not actually harmful results he settled for a walk. A few of the citizens noticed him yet he thought nothing if them.
His mind was on Izuka and his son. The possibility of a relationship was now crossing his mind. With the connections he had, it would be very easy to arrange them together if his son showed interest. Enji stopped as he looked at the small park grounds. It was here that he met her. His wife Rei Todoroki. With his current thoughts on the matter, he thought to his wife.
In this very moment with his current mindset, some small part of Enji's conscience came out. A realization hit him as to what he was thinking. It started small but slowly it hit him. '...I practically forced Reo into marrying me.'
Finally, like a floodgate that one thought started to make him realize how bad of a husband he had been. It wasn't a sudden thing. No, each thought had to slowly connect itself with another. After a full minute, he turned and walk past the courtyard. His mood rather foul. Most people would tend to realize that they were kind of a horrible person after this. Enji did to a certain point but he was focusing more on another point. 'You stupid idiot it's not your son's defiance that's holding him back it's you!'
The irony that he was holding his son back from filling his potential. Yet, by driving Rei over the edge he caused his son to hate him. A hate that was rather strong and with a will to never back down from it. Enji was brought from his thoughts as he passed by an alleyway. Something raced into him. Naturally, he didn't budge but the same couldn't be said for the person who ran into him.
It was a little girl. Probably no older than six years old. Her hair was grey with red eyes and a single horn on her head. Her outfit looked almost like it was in rags and Enji caught sight of bandages covering both her arms and legs. "Eri there you are."
Enji looked as another figure walled up. A man wearing a bird-like mask. The masked man paused as he looked at the man and almost wanted to curse his luck. Standing in front of him was not the person he wanted to see. 'Great, just what I needed the troublemaker ran into Endeavor of all people.'
Enji picked up on Eri's frighten body language in an instant. Judging by her reactions, the clothes she was wearing and the bandages it was clear that something had happened to her. As for the man in front of him. He matched a description. One for a group who were selling a drug on the black market in recent months that could temporarily turn someone's Quirk off. A case that Endeavor had been working on for a while. "I must apologize for my daughter we were going for a walk…"
Enji held his hand up as he glared at the man. Seriously, what did this guy take him for an idiot? "Your daughter?" He looked at Eri who were terrified of him. "As a Pro hero, I can tell you that just by looking at her it's clear that if you were her father you are guilty of child abuse and neglect." Enji's gaze hardened as flames threatened to escape his hands. "However, your description matches a criminal group called the Shie Hassaikai who are wanted for illegal drug trafficking."
Under the mask, the man, Hari Kurono, was staring at the number two hero. Of course, he would figure out that he was apart of that group. Sad that they couldn't kill the rat in their group sooner. Acting on Instinct Harp pulled out a modified handgun hoping to get a shot in only for Enji to act first. He quickly grabbed his wrist held it out as the gun fired causing a dart to miss. Pain shot through the limb as Enji let his flames burn before delivering a strong punch right to the side of his head managing to knock him out.
With the guy's body going limp Enji let out a sigh. He looked at his knuckle feeling a bit of his anger out. He turned his head over to the little girl who seemed to be hiding in the corner. For a small moment, he stopped as he looked at her. Nothing happened as time seemed to stop for Enji. When that brief moment lifted he bent down on one knee as he spoke to her. "Your safe now."
Eri looked at him for a few seconds. Finally, the little girl raced forward and hugged Enji. Enji was taken back by the rudeness of the hug but returned it. A single call later and the police were taking away the now unmasked man into custody.
Enji looked at the offer as Eri seemed to cling to his leg. With the capture of one of the Shie Hassaikai out of the way, the next question came up about the little girl they had likely kidnapped. There was just one problem though. "Are you serious no one's filed a missing persons report for Eri?"
Turns out there was no missing report for her. The officer in question had looked through every single report in their case file and found none what's so ever. "I'm sorry but without a DNA test we can't know for sure." The officer looked at the girl. "Until then we'll have to put her in foster care."
Eri grinned Enki's legs harder at this. Enji for his part was mostly unconcerned for this. However, a tiny voice in his head. A small part of him that felt something of guilt for what he had done to his family wouldn't stop nagging at him. In the end, it seemed that the small voice had managed to win out. "I'll watch over her until you can figure out where her parents are."
The officer was surprised to hear this. After all, this was Endeavor he was talking too. Still, it was probably for the best. The Shie Hassaikai were believed to be extremely dangerous. Staying with the number two hero was probably for the best. "Very well." Looking down at the little girl holding his leg Enji had a mental sigh.
Izuka looked at Mina as the two were resting in her bed. Well, more like Mina had completely passed out. The green-haired girls face lite up like a tomato. She couldn't believe what had happened. Actually, everything was a bit of a blurt to her. It was almost like something else had taken control of her. Izuka stopped as she could feel that there was something wrong about that.
Not wrong as in the sense of it not being right. No wrong in a sense that it felt like it's how she should be feeling. That was the thought that terrified her. 'It's nothing Izuka just nothing.'
The sound of a moan caught her attention as Mina awoke looking at her with a lazy look. Soon her eyes shot open as she realized that she was in Izuka's bed, they were both naked, and that she recalled Izuka having something extra which she used on her. Mina looked into Izuka's eyes as the two of them paused.
The silence hanged over them was broken when Inko knocked on the door. "Izuka it's getting late I think Mina should head home before it gets dark."
On the other side of the door, Inko was obvious to what had just happened in the room. Despite the size of the apartment, the building was rather soundproof. Add to that Inko was watching her shows which drowned out the faint sounds. 'You know I wonder what they could spend a whole hour and a half doing in there.'
A blood-soaked hand rested at the edge of the doorway to the warehouse. The archaeopt having a crip as it looked up at the hunter. He was still in pain his other arm gripping a hold of his jaw. He had underestimated his opponent. 'Here I was being mad about my modifications.'
In the fight, he managed to recover something. It was partly tired and burned but it was a photo. A photo of another Succubus. It seemed to him that Lillie had not just been here visiting the locals and making a mess. She most likely had a child. 'A target is still a target.'
I figured I begin Endeavor's realization that he's kind of an asshole early. Now, it's not a full realization mind you (he's still obsessed with All Might) but hey baby steps. I really hope this doesn't come across as forced. Oh, right we finally got some worldbuilding to deal with.
The "New" World: A parallel plane tied to Earth via a Harmonic Quantum Entanglement Super Positioning. The world is said to be a dark reflection of the Old World. The world has many names with some of the most known being Asgard, Hell, and Otherworld. Though the Human immigrants (well former slaves technically) tend to call it either Mundus or the New World. While not located in the same space as Earth its still part of the same timestream but in a different dimensional plane. Due to its strange relationship with earth there are ways to tap into the HQESP field and open mini wormholes to and from the two of them.
Succubi Titles: The title of "Queen" doesn't have the same context for Succubi that it does for most. Queen in this sense is similar to having a title like "The Great" or "The Magnificient" a sign of prestige. Hunters mockingly call those who are children and grandchildren of those who hold the title "Princess" despite Princess having another meaning for Succubi.
Cya all next time. Hope you have a great day. :)
