Before we actually dive into the story, I want to make some basic information clear about this story and you might need to know before reading the story. This is a Nomu!Izuku AU as well as a bit of a "Chainsaw Man" crossover. Although, Izuku and some characters are not really Nomu. Allow me to explain this:
"NOMU" is the combination of the Kanji 脳の(brain) and 無(nothingness) which of course means that they are basically mindless soldiers serving AFO and Shigaraki
However, I wanted to differentiate Izuku and a few Characters. While Izuku and other characters are classified as Nomu by the heroes, AFO and the Docter will Classify them as a sort of subspecies known as Kokoromu
"KOKOROMU" is the combination of the Kanji 心(heart) and 無(nothingness). This means that Izuku and a few other characters are "Heartless Soldiers" so to speak, they can think and understand but have no true meaning of a "Heart"
Let's meet the Main Characters of this story shall we?

With the characters out of the way and some of the basic information given for the story.
More backstory on how this happened will be revealed in the story of course, as well as how the Kokoromu differs from Nomu and how they are actually a little more advance than even high-end Nomu's and how they came to be and why they are called Kokoromu, the formation of the HVE Corp. and how they interact with certain characters.
I will also dive into what each of them wants, how they feel, etc.
I also want to let you know, that while these are our main characters in the story, they won't be the only ones showing up, and not all or any of them are gonna make it out alive in the end.
So I'm telling you straight up, this story will not have a happy or even bittersweet ending, it's just what I would call an "Apathetic Ending"
