"So what's the next universe exactly?" Izuku asked.
"In this one quirks don't exist and you and like eight other 1-A students form a band." Ranger explained.
"What genre and why eight?" Kyoka asked.
"They perform heavy metal and they thought nine members would make them sound unique." Ranger explained.
"Anything else we should know?" Kirishima asked.
"They wear masks while performing." Ranger explained.
The screen turned on to show Momo standing with the sounds of turntables and keyboards playing in the background as she puts on a mask that resembles a gas mask with the lenses and respirator removed. It then changed to a different gasmask that more resembled a skull. The mask changed a third time to a mask that was more skull than a gasmask. It changed a third time to a more robotic skull with moving eyebrows. The mask changed yet again to a more steampunk looking mask complete with eye and mouth guards. It changed a final time to a more human looking mask with a black hood.
"Ok that was creepy." Kendo said with a look of disgust.
"Well their look changes each album and the masks are so people focus on the music and not the appearance of the band members." Ranger explained.
"Makes sense." Kyoka began before asking, "Who else is in this band?"
"You'll find out." Ranger replied.
The focus shifted to Bakugo with drums playing in the background as he put on a white kabuki mask with black accents around the eyes and mouth. It changed to one similar to the other one but with his hair long enough to reach his arms. It then changed to one with his hair dyed jet black. It was changed to one with a frown and a crown of thorns adding a Christ look. It was replaced with a mask that was brown with no thorns and a pentagram on the forehead and a zipper mouth. The mask was then replaced with one with staples instead of the zipper.
"Of course he would have a christ complex with his." Ochaco pointed out.
"Did he have to desecrate Jesus like that?" Ibara asked
The focus shifted to Kyoka with a bass guitar playing in the background as she put on a mask that resembled a pig. It changed to one similar to the other one but with slits across the mouth. It then changed to a black hockey mask with a grill made of nails and a broken glass pattern with a bullet hole on the forehead. It was changed to one some cracks and a grey coloration. It was then replaced with a gray ogre mask with a patchwork design. The mask was then replaced with one made of metal with an ornate design.
"So I'm what, Hanibal Lector now?" Kyoka asked.
"It's just a design that works." Ranger told her.
The focus shifted to Kirishima with a backup drum being played and a beer keg getting pounded on in the background as he put on a gray mask that resembled a gimp mask with a zipper mouth and a long nose. It changed to one similar to the other one but with a rusted pattern. It then changed to one with no hood over the back of the head with a longer nose. It was then replaced with a mask that had the hood added back and was metallic with sadder looking eyes. The mask was then replaced with one that resembled a tortilla.
"So I go from a BDSM Pinochio to a tortilla." Kirishima commented.
"It was due do executive interference." Ranger explained.
The focus then shifted to Kaminari while a guitar was playing in the background as he put on a mask that resembled some kind of twisted jester with a zipper mouth. It changed to one similar to the other one but with more detailed looks. It then changed to one with less color and all the red changed to black. It was then replaced with a mask that had the zipper mouth connected to the left eye. The mask was then replaced with one that had the zipper mouth and chin removed to let his beard through. It was then replaced with a new mask that more resembled the phantom of the opera with the mouth and chin removed again.
"Manly beard bro." Kirishima pointed out.
"Shame I can't grow one in real life." Kaminari complained.
The focus then shifted to a thin raven haired man in his early twenties while turntables were playing in the background as he put on a mask that resembled an old crash helmet with nails sticking out of it. It changed to a bondage mask with a zipper mouth and still had nails sticking out. It then changed to one with even longer nails sticking out. It was then replaced with a mask that had the nails somewhat shorter with longer ones forming a mohawk.
"Who was that?" Kaminari asked.
"It was Tokoyami. The only reason you didn't recognize him is because he doesn't have a raven's head." Ranger explained.
"Why do I have a feeling he has a mask like that in his actual room?" Mina asked.
The focus then shifted to a non pink-skined Mina with what sounded like pounding on a beer keg was playing in the background as she put on a halloween clown mask. It changed to another clown mask with a pentagram and the number six carved into the face with a section of the brain showing. It then changed to one with bloody bandages covering the face with a red nose sticking out and the top torn off for her hair to stick out of the mask. It was then replaced with a mask that was made of leather and steel and had the red nose was replaced with a golden one. It was then replaced with one that resembled a beaten up clown. She then replaced it with a more shiny version of the clown mask that only covered her face.
"But I hate clowns!" Mina pointed out.
"The only reason you went with it is because your boyfriend thought it looked terrifying and thought it would be cool for a metal band." Ranger explained.
"Who is it in this universe?" Mina asked.
"They'll probably explain it later on." Ochaco explained.
The focus then shifted to Shoto who put on a metal hockey mask that just kept looking angrier and angrier as it changed while a guitar was playing in the background.
"So I'm another guitarist." Shoto said to himself.
"Is it just me, or did his mask look more angry each time?" Momo asked.
The focus then shifted to Izuku who strangely had no music playing while he put on a ghostly mask with green dreadlocks sticking out of the top. It changed to one with a darker face and the dreadlocks more organized. It then changed to a skinless face with multicolored hair instead of dreadlocks. It was then changed to a hairless, featureless mask with a circle around the left eye and looked stitched onto his skull. It was then changed to a more human mask that looked diseased with a permanent smile carved into the cheeks. It was then changed to a translucent mask with a scarf wrapped around the lower half and face paint on underneath with white contacts in his eyes.
"Why do mine look more detailed than the others?" Izuku asked.
"Cause your the lead singer." Ranger replied.
"Like this Deku could sing." Bakugo said before getting silenced by a glare from all the adults present.
The scene changed to close ups of the band members playing and Izuku's mouth while singing and occasionally zooming in on their masks to the side, showing they aren't wearing them in this video.
Go!
Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'm
Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home
Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm
Catastrophic, not again
I'm smeared across the page, and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obscene
Catch me upon all your sordid little insurrections
I've got no time to lose, and I'm just caught up in all the cattle
Fray the strings
Throw the shapes
Hold your breath
And listen
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I'm ripped across the ditch, and settled in the dirt and I'm
I wear you like a stitch, yet I'm the one who's hurt
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions
I've got no right to win, I'm just caught up all the battles
Locked in clutch
Pushed in place
Hold your breath
And listen
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
My end
It justifies my means
All I have to do is delay
I'm given time to evade
The end of the road is my end
It justifies my means
All I have to do is delay
I haven't time to evade
The end of the road!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh!
"Midoria has a really great voice for metal. Why didn't we have him sing at the culture festival?" Mineta asked.
"Cause he didn't want to sing." Kyoka pointed out.
"Nobody asked him if he could sing." Tsuyu reminded her.
"It was impressive." Kaminari pointed out.
"Revelry in the dark." Tokoyami replied.
"You should see what it's like when it's just Midoriya." Ranger suggested while typing into his laptop to pull up a new video.
"What kind of song is it?" Kyoka asked.
"His idea of a christmas song." Ranger replied.
"What do you mean by his idea of a christmas song?" Iida asked.
"It's about how much he hates christmas and why he hates it and it's mostly swears and snark." Ranger explained.
"Sounds sacreligious." Ibara says.
"It's meant to poke fun at the more annoyed drunk people who don't like christmas and not the religious aspects of the holiday." Ranger explained to the bible thumper.
The screen changed to a new scene of a close up of a snowglobe with a guitar playing while Izuku sings in the background
Ho Ho Ho!
It than changed to Izuku's head photoshopped badly onto a green santa suit with two donkeys moving their heads side to side as he sings in a drunken manner as the screen changed to fit his lyrics.
There ain't nothing more depressing than a pine tree
Gussied up candy canes and balls
Those carolers have kept me up for hours
It's Merry Christmas seeping through my walls
Now I'm no wiccan commie or nothing
But there's one damn holiday that I can't stand
It ain't Halloween or Thanksgiving or even April Fools
But it'll surely make a fool out of every man
HA
It than switched to Izuku in a loose fitting Santa jacket while switching between his head being photoshopped onto several stock christmas movies.
If I ain't drunk then it ain't Christmas
You know where to stick those jingle bells
If I ain't hammered it ain't hanukkah
And all you motherfuckers go to hell
If I ain't cockeyed then it Kwanzaa
Joy to the world and jack and coke
If I ain't drunk then it ain't Christmas
Cause I never anything but broke
The scene changes to Izuku, photoshopped on the image from the first verse, on a throne surrounded by stock-image women with a cartoon child coming to sit on his knee midway through the second verse of what could be called, the greatest christmas song ever.
Now every year the malls are just a madhouse
Full of empty pockets, thoughts and smiles
Just the smell of Eggnog makes me vomit
And those colored lights are fucking infantile
I think we collectively as the people
Should rise against this corporate jolly noise
And tell the world:
"Let's buy some piece and quiet for a change"
Before we spend it all on fucking toys.
HA
The scene changes to Izuku photoshopped into the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol before changing to Izuku giving a dual thumbs up while liquor bottles arranged into a snowflake spinning behind him than to Izuku's head photoshopped onto a bodybuilder flexing with two present bows stuck to his nipples.
So if I ain't drunk then it ain't Christmas
You know where to stick those jingle bells
If I ain't hammered it ain't hanukkah
Fa la la la la go fuck yourself!
If I ain't cockeyed it ain't Kwanzaa
Joy to the world of getting stoned
If I ain't drunk then it ain't Christmas
So leave this god damn scrooge the fuck alone.
HA
It than switches to Izuku in his green santa suit while pissing the phrase X-M $ into the snow.
MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS!
Hi Simon.
Everyone was silent at the last one...Except Izuku, who was laughing until he started crying.
"I think we broke him." Mei pointed out.
"He'll be fine." Inko reassured everyone, "He just needs to get it out of his system."
3 HOURS LATER
"Ok, Ok, I'm fine now." Izuku said while still somewhat laughing.
"You sure, cause I got one thing left to show you with this universe." Ranger reminded him.
"Go ahead." Izuku said, now calmed down.
"Ok from the band Slipknot we have Izuku Midoriya also known as Deku here to answer some questions and play something from his new album." A host on a talk show said to his audience.
"I never agreed to play anything." Izuku pointed out.
"Well you are a musician being interviewed." the host tried to reason.
"I'm only the singer man." Izuku replied.
"Agree to dis-agree?" the host asked.
"Fine." Izuku relented.
"Why is that host trying to piss him off?" Kendo asked.
"It's something he likes to do. He thinks it's funny. Unfortunately Izuku doesn't like it when people waste his time or insult his wife and kids so this will not end well." Ranger explained.
"WIFE? KIDS?" Toru asked in shock.
"Who?" Mina asked.
"They'll explain it in the interview.
"So can you put on the mask?" the host asked.
"I didn't bring it with me." Izuku explained, looking more pissed off.
"Shame." the host began, "I've noticed you don't have as many tattoos as most other metal singers, why is that?"
"You see I only want to get tattoos for the things I care about the most, so at the moment I only have the two." Izuku explained.
"Can we see them?" The host asked.
"Sure." Izuku said before removing his shirt and showing a nine pointed star on his back with his and his band member's names in each point of the star, "This one is for the band and all the people we have in it." Izuku explained while turning around, "And this one over my heart is for my wife." Izuku explained while showing a tattoo of a circle inside a square inside a triangle inside a bigger circle, over his heart.
"What exactly is that?" the host asked.
"It's a glype of creation. A symbol of alchemy." Izuku explained.
"And who does it symbolize exactly?" the host asked.
"It's meant to represent Momo Yaoyorozu." Izuku began to explain with a smile on his face, "She came up with the idea of using nine members for the band, the use of masks and she even came up with the name of the band."
"So he's the mastermind of the whole thing?" The host asked, pissing of Izuku even more.
"No she's not." Izuku calmly explained through clenched teeth, "We make all decisions as a band and each member writes a song on each album."
"Ok." The host said with fear before getting a smirk on his face, "Was she your first choice or did she settle?"
"Fuck this. And fuck you!" Izuku said as he took off his microphone and started leaving, "I'm out of here. Don't you dare try to have me or my bandmates on your show ever again."
At this point Izuku left the interview and could be heard cursing out the host from backstage, "Punk ass motherfucker. Where does he fucking get off?"
At this point the screen cuts to black.
"What was that about?" Kaminari asked.
"That particular guy liked pissing off his guests and asking things he really shouldn't have been asking. It should be pointed out that Robert Downy Jr also walked out, as did Quinten Tarentino but he yelled at the host until he started crying on live tv." Ranger explained.
"How was he not fired for that?" Monoma asked, shocking everybody.
"He was under contract. Best they could do is not renew it." Ranger explained.
"What's the next universe?" Ochaco asked.
"The next one is Blink-182 christmas songs." Ranger explained.
Authors Note: Sorry I meant to get this out earlier this week. Slipknot is done. I had to put down Corey Taylor's christmas song cause I think everyone should see it (I could not do it proper justice. Next time: Blink-182 christmas songs. I will be doing all three of them (Mainly cause I just saw their new video) Izuku will be Mark Hopus, Bakugo will be Travis Barker (complete with the tattoos) and Kaminari will be both Matt Skiba and Tom DeLong (Like how I had all the same people as the members of Slipknot despite the lineup changes) I'll be doing christmas/holiday themed universes until christmas.
As Always
Later
