TW: this chapter has some fights and some references to death and conflicts, but other than that it's pretty safe.

Another version of Eraserhead was grading some papers when he noticed that some people arrived there, so he saved the papers for later and sat down again to look towards the visitors.
"Welcome to the classroom, a place to rest after reading intense stories and to share some trivia…" Murmured Aizawa, almost as if he didn't want to be there.
"Come on Aizawa-kun, where's your spirit?" Asked Nedzu as he appeared from Aizawa's scarf, before giving a small bow to the visitors. "Am I a dog, a mouse or a bear? What matters is that I'm Nedzu, principal of Yuuei and Aizawa's assistant!"
"In that case, I would to say that… I'm sorry for my counterpart's actions…" Apologized Aizawa as he suppressed a growl. "How could he do something like that?! I would've tried to research more before doing something that could destroy someone for good!"
"I think it's because your counterpart has a slightly different mindset from yours, Aizawa-kun." Said Nedzu while he served some matcha tea. "Are you aware of the "Ally of Justice" concept?"
"Not at all…" Murmured Aizawa as he took a tea cup. "What does it mean? Is it similar to a normal hero?"
"Yes and no…" Added Nedzu in a neutral tone. "In that reality, an Ally of Justice is someone that fights for the justice they believe in, following at least three different variations, but all focusing in protecting others without asking for anything in return."
After that, Nedzu took some printed pictures to show them to his friend, each one focused on different concepts.
Sacrificing the few to save the many.
Sacrificing the self to save everyone else.
Sacrificing the many to save the few, even a single person.
"You followed the first one in that universe, so you thought that you would be saving Yuuei at the cost of one student…" Murmured Nedzu, being angry at Aizawa's counterpart.
"While I think he deserves that punishment and probably more, I feel I need to ask this…" Said Aizawa as he finished his tea. "Is our Izuku, as well as the other one, an Ally of Justice of the second category?"
"Partially yes, I think… In our reality, I mean." Answered Nedzu as he served himself another cup of warm team. "In the other one though, he feels that as long as everyone else is saved, he doesn't mind dying at all…"
Aizawa somewhat started to understand why his counterpart started to suspect Izuku… If a person does a lot of things without asking for anything in return, it wouldn't make sense, as most people usually expect some kind of reward, even if it's just a small "Thanks", plus the constant increase in power, and his non-existent background…
"Is there a reality when either of us choose the third path?" Asked Aizawa. "I feel I would do it to protect my loved ones from a greater menace, but for a single person… I don't think I could…"
"Don't feel bad about yourself, Aizawa-kun." Answered Nedzu as he offered him some biscuits. "Almost no one could follow that path but… Would you like to see a version of Izuku that did so?"
After nodding, Nedzu put a small Pen-Drive in Aizawa's Laptop, showing him an alternate realm…
"This is a realm that could be shown as a future story, but for now it's just a small opening." Said Nedzu in a concerned tone. "I hope you're ready, because this could be quite shocking."
A multitude could be seen in Musutafu, as a young woman with short blonde hair, a green ribbon in her hair and a white short-sleeved dress shirt with plaid cuffs, as well as a large bow of similar colors at her neck, plus a dark raspberry punk waistcoat, pale gray capri pants and pink socks with heeled brown boots was walking in a daze, almost as if she wasn't there, before nearly falling and watching a small ripple showing her younger self alongside her father, a blonde woman, before changing the screen somewhere else…
That young woman was Melissa Shield.
What will embrace, in the shadow of desire?
Katsuki Bakugou appeared in his hero costume in a strange bluish background, followed by All Might who was looking towards the sky, being in deep thought...
Drowning in pain, abandoning my ideals
Tamaki Amajiki appeared as well, being kneeled while eating some Takoyaki, while Mei Hatsume stood there upside down, before the camera showed her in a normal way, holding some chains in her hands as weapons.
This feels almost like it's a different world, but it's the truth
I'll protect you with these dirtied hands
While watching the star I couldn't grasp
Aizawa stood against Kurogiri, probably being the start of a fight, while Tenya Iida, Tsuyu Asui, Hitoshi Shinsou and Nejire Hadou seemed to be talking to each other, before swapping perspectives towards that of Shigaraki, who was crossing his arms in a very serious way… Before showing a broken city, as well as Izuku, who had a tanner and bigger left arm covered with a yellow, blue and red cloth…
Melissa suddenly broke down and collapsed into tears, starting to sob as she put her hands towards her face, to then release a reddish energy around her, surrounding everything in that thick foggy miasma.
All the mentioned characters started to move as the perspective followed them, before ending with both Ochaco Uraraka and Shoto Todoroki, whom were clearly afraid as they looked at everything around them…
Now I'll brandish my dream like a flash of lightning in the dark
Katsuki attacked Kurogiri with an explosion that sent both flying, before the villain created a ghostly limb with smoke to then approach Katsuki…
As if to cast light upon our entwining lives
Sir Nighteye was running in Yuuei's forest carring Eri in his back, as well as throwing his weighted seals to distract Kurogiri, before facing him directly as the former tanked all of his attacks.
I believe the place I'll reach with the strength I chose… To be paradise…
A corrupted Tamaki was destroying Yuuei's forest in his chimera form, before facing Nejire, who was charging her energy waves as much she could to do the deed.
The world collapsed to show Mirio, to then collapse once more before restoring itself as Nejire attacked Tamaki with everything she got, tears flowing out her eyes as she released one of her best friends from his suffering.
Then, a plump doctor with a moustache and green glasses appeared sit behind a chair, probably plotting something important…
A bond called hope connects us into tomorrow
Let's overcome our unseen sadness
A corrupted Ochaco threw giant rocks at Mei and Hitoshi as the former ran using jet propulsors and the latter used a small jetpack to fly, while a corrupted Shoto was about to release blue flames mixed with ice as cold as absolute zero to end Tenya, Tsuyu and Nejire.
The prayers that well up simply wait for dawn, without fearing they'll be diminished
The scene changed to show more corrupted students as Mina, Denki, Hanta, Neito and Pony created a path for Dr. David Shield to use a special sword to knock them down as he ran towards the core of the lab, before showing Melissa, although her hair was white and her skin was covered in red lines, to then see Izuku fighting Sir Nighteye in a clean fist fight, while Shoto released his ultimate attack, which was tanked by a Shield made by Melissa, Mei and Hitoshi, before showing a smiling Eri and a bright day of Autumn, their reddish, yellowish and brownish colors telling us the dream had finally ended.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Asked Aizawa as he lost his composure. "WHY DOES PROBLEM CHILD HAS FREAKING ALL MIGHT'S ARM?! WHAT WAS THAT CORRUPTION IN SO MANY STUDENTS?! WHY CAN'T I STOP SCREAMING?!"
"That is not my story to tell, Aizawa-kun." Said Nedzu as he took a breath to calm himself down. "Let's say Izuku had to choose between killing Melissa to save countless people, or to risk them while he tried to find a way to save her."
"And he chose to save her…" Said Aizawa as he smiled a bit. "That's my Problem Child…"
"Well, it seems our time is up for now." Said Nedzu as he bowed again before the visitors. "We both thank you sincerely for your visit, so please be ready to withstand the rest of Izuku, Ochaco and their friends's story as they heal their bonds and Open the Doors to their hearts once more…"
"Daddy, can I have some apple ice cream?" Said Eri as she entered the classroom, having woke up from her afternoon nap. "With some fresh apple slices as well!"
"Of course, Eri, don't worry about it." Answered Aizawa as he petted her head a bit, before bowing towards the visitors. "We'll see each other again depending of the choices taken or in the next Omakes so, please take care and have a good day."
"Oh, before I forget!" Said Nedzu in a cheerful tone. "If any of you have questions about the main story and its continuity, feel free to ask and we'll reply to all you when we see each other again!"
"We'll do our best to answers those questions." Added Aizawa in support.
"Goodbye, and please take care!" Said Eri as she waved towards the viewers, before all three of them left the room, closing it for now.

Hello, the author here! :D
Decided to make some Omakes, which will appear once every Arc is completed and in certain moments so, be prepared!
What I planned for Ochaco and Tsuyu's routes in another story was mostly recycled here, so the only route that I could write would be Melissa's xD
While it will have similar elements to Heaven's Feel, some parts would be modified to fit with Boku no Hero's context xD
Once again thanks for all the support, it meant a lot! Please take care and have a good night! :D
