Hello everyone, it is I, here to bring you yet another chapter of this multiverse reviewing fanfic.

In the last chapter, where we last left off everyone saw the Portal world of Izuku be double-crossed by the Portal world of Denki, who tossed both Izuku and Glados Jiro into a bottomless pit. In this chapter we will see the reactions of the various bnha cast as well as the next universe on our fun little journey.

And what universe is that you may ask? Well, it's none other than the Shovel Knight universe, and this chapter will take place during the order of no quarter boss rush and enchantress boss fight, so that'll be fun. I hope.

Now, before some of you say 'I thought you were doing a stand Izuku chapter?' I am, after the Shovel Knight one. I've compiled the votes and we have a four way tie between BabyFace, White Album, Metallica, and King Crimson. So to help break the tie, here are what to expect for when one wins.

NOTE: these ideas for stand!Izuku are just basic descriptions of what I had in mind.

BabyFace: After unlocking his Stand at the age of four, Midoriya accidentally kills his mother by accident, how he did so is unknown. Fleeing to the streets from fear, Izuku spends the next four years homeless until he encounters one of the Meta Liberation leaders, Curious, who decides to take the boy under her wing. After years of living with the woman, Izuku saw her as a mother figure and even straightened, lengthened, and dyed his hair purple to match hers. Using his stand to the full potential, Midoriya who now has a somewhat perverted attitude, uses the females of the MLA to make his juniors. When the LOV appears, like his adopted mother, Izuku takes an interest in Himiko Toga, as he sees her as the ultimate junior maker.

White Album: Like the original story, Midoriya is born quirkless. However unlike the original, child Izuku was more prone to rage, because of this he would violently attack other children. In this world he never latched on to All Might as he was too busy venting out his rage from the sludge villain. This means he never got One For All, and thus failed the U.A entrance exam. Not only because he lacked the power, but also because of his behavior as well. Instead of being torn up about this revelation, it just enraged Izuku to the point where he forcibly manifested his Stand White Album. Trying out for Shiketsu, Midoriya does pass and gets to show off his true potential during the licensing exam.

Metallica: The story basically starts the same as BabyFaces, only instead of accidentally killing Inko, she is run over by a drunk driver while a nearby hero did nothing. And while the man was arrested and punished, Izuku couldn't forgive so easily, neither the man, nor the hero that let him down. That's why ten years later, at the age of fourteen, when the man is freed from prison Izuku takes his much desired revenge. During those fourteen years, Midoryias love for heros has died, instead seeing how hypocritical they are, Midoriya sees heros no differently than the villains they fight. After killing the drunk driver, he retreats into the criminal underworld, doing all sorts of assassination jobs until on day he is approached by the LOV, and is given the job of killing Stain.

King Crimson: Much like the Canon universe, everything plays out the same, only this time, when told by All Might that he couldn't be a hero, he just…. snapped. All the years of bottled up rage and misery form up into this darker, sinister part that he has no idea exists in his head. Midoriya no longer wanted to be the best hero in the world, he wanted to be something more.

And there you have it. Vote which one you'd like to see the most. Now on with the story.

One last thing though. In order to make this chapter short, I'm not going to make the fight scenes with the Order of No Quarter super detailed. The best I will do for them is explain all the attacks they do, what their strategies are in the main campaign, and then afterwards after one of them is defeated I'll have the casts reactions of the whole fight. So if you wanted a super detailed fights between Shovel Knight Izuku and the other 8 knights, then sorry. I feel like giving them all 30 paragraph fight scenes would just take too long. So yeah, expect the boss fights to be very short and simplified. If you ever played the game before, then it's just the same as the regular boss rush, only with MHA characters, so yeah. Sorry to those who wanted original fight scenes.

Fortunately though the Enchantress fight scene in the second part of this won't just be me listing off her attacks, there'll be some detail and dialogue in it.

And yes, I know that I've been spelling Izukus last name as MIDORYIA instead of MIDORIYA. I think of it like that instead of the other way. I'll try to not do this in the future.

Enjoy!


In the black void, those who had watched the previous universe could only stare at the screen wide eyed at what they had just seen.

"I-I didn't-" Denki said to himself as he felt awful with himself. He had just scene himself, or at least another version of himself, plunge Midoriya and Jiro into a dark and seemingly bottomless pit right after he went full psycho on them. "I-I killed them. Oh god, I killed them." He said in a hushed whisper as he tried to process what he had just seen.

"Kaminari, dude. That wasn't you." Kirishima said as he reached over Bakugou (who couldn't care less about the whole thing) and placed his hand onto the blondes shoulder for reassurance.

"T-thats right Kaminari. That wasn't us, so you've got nothing to feel bad for." Midoryia said to help ease the blond. However, even though he didn't hold anything against the blond, he was still a bit uneasy with what he saw, and it is understandable. After all, if you saw someone you knew killing another you, would you be comfortable being around them?

"But it was still me, a different version of me. Even though he wasn't made from my flesh and blood he still had my face and voice. How can I not feel bad about this?!" Denki asked the two as the feeling of guilt slowly ate away at him.

Meanwhile with the teachers of U.A, All Might's chest throbbed in pain at the sight of seeing his successor falling to an unknown fate. He knew that it wasn't his Midoryia, seeing as he was sitting not too far from the front row, but still it made his heart burn to see the person he considers a son fall to such a fate. While the former hero dealt with his thoughts, the other teachers were discussing what their thoughts to what they had just seen. Present Mic and Midnight found it to be…. disturbing to say the least, while Aizawa himself wasn't too affected from what he saw, however that didn't mean he wasn't slightly unsettled by his blond students sudden power hunger and rage and the fact that he turned another version of one of his classmates into a potato. Meanwhile Nezu could only find the fate Midoryia suffered to be unfortunate, as well as the other version of Denki going mad with newfound power as well. The rat bear creature knew what power could do to a person, but seeing it in effect was quite tragic for him to see. He prayed that none of his staff ,or worse, students would ever become tainted by their own power. As for Power Loader, the engineer made a mental note to never let Mei ever create something with artificial intelligence.

As for the villains, well let's just say there were mixed reactions. For Togas case, she just clung tightly to Izukus arm (much to the boys dismay and embarrassment and to Ochako's jealousy and anger) and just gave Denki a death glare while she made a brief mental note to stab the boy once they return to their world. As for Stain, Dabi, and Spinner their thoughts were somewhat more or less the same, as seeing the greenette "die" didn't particularly cause them to feel any negative emotions for the boy. Shigaraki and All For One on the other hand found themselves smiling at what they had seen, but for each they had different reasons. Shigaraki was obviously joyful due to the fact that a version of one of the major thorns in side had "died" onscreen, but for All For One case that was a different story. The reason why the eyeless villain was smiling was because of that other world's Denki having his little power drunk moment he had when getting hooked up to that strange device. It reminded him of himself when he had found out the nature of his quirk so long ago, and the feeling he felt then was unlike any other. Ah, good times.

As for rest, their reactions were mixed to say the least. For some, like Inko and Eri, they couldn't help but feel cold dread as they watched the sight of the person they cared about being plunged into a dark abyss towards an unknown fate, with the little girl having a few small tears in the corner of her eyes. For others, such as the none U.A heros and Shiketsu students, their feelings were…. different. While they could admit that what they saw was certainly tragic to look at, they didn't particularly feel any strong emotion for watching for the green haired boy nor his friends due to the fact that they barely even know the guy to have any attachment for him. It didn't mean they hated Izuku, it's just that they found it hard to care deeply about watching a different version of him die. As for others like Mustard, well….they just didn't give a shit what so ever.

"Well, that certainly…. something." Present Mic said as he rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably due to the atmosphere around. "Ugh, I know we were watching different universes of our little green listener, but I wasn't expecting something so, well like that."

"Me neither. Hopefully the next one we'll see is a little more….upbeat?" Midnight said as she placed her left hand to the side of her face and lightly bit down one her pinky finger as she stared at the screen, hoping that whatever pops up on the floating black rectangle will have a much more better ending then the last one.

"Please don't jinx it Nemuri. Bad shit always happens when people say stuff like that." Present Mic said, worried that the next world they watch might be just as bad as the last all because the 18+ hero had said something to mess up their chances of viewing a good reality of the residential greenette.

"I'm not jinxing it, I'm just…. speaking my mind is all, and watch your mouth Hizashi there's children around here." Midnight said as her tone became a scolding one towards the end of her sentence.

"*Gulp* S-Sorry." Present Mic replied, almost forgetting about the two little listeners present within the crowd.

"Will you two quiet down already? The screen, square thing is doing something again." Aizawa said in a hushed tone as he used his finger to point towards the screen ahead of them.

Surely enough what the three U.A. teachers, and soon everybody else, saw that the screen was once again flickering as it loaded up the next world that they would be viewing. Mostly everyone had their fingers crossed that the next world they would see wouldn't end on such a grim note like the last.

"Please be a good one, please be a good one, please be a good one." Eri said over and over as she had her hands clasped together, hoping that she didn't see her hero succumb to another grim fate like the last one did.

Once the screen finally stopped it's erratic flashing, everyone in the crowd could now clearly see what was in front of them.


The sounds of howling wind and fierce rainfall could be heard echoing through the halls as the only source of illumination was coming from the windows, allowing the dark green light from the night sky to flow into the hallway. Other than the elegant red rug that laid on the floor, there was no other decorations that made the place seem attractive in the slightest. The entire hall seemed to be made of some kind of brick-like stone, what type though was unclear, making it clearly obvious that the hall belonged to some kind of castle, or some other type of medieval structure. However, the most eye catching thing in the hall was what was inside of it. Slowly making his way through the corridor, a figure clad in light blue armor wearing a helmet of the same color slowly walked through dragging something behind him. The figures armor was worn and chipped in some areas, clearly showing that whoever this was must've gone through several intense battles, and the chest plate resembled that of a….well a shovel for some reason. Perhaps it had something to do with the thing he was dragging behind him, which was in fact, a shovel of all things. However this wasn't e type of shovel one would find in their garden or hardware store, no, instead the shovel he was dragging around looked like it was crossed between a sword and a shovel, as the blade for it appeared to be much sharper than a typical one, and the handle resembled a cross between a sword hilt and a shovel handle. Lastly, there was the figures helmet, which was simply a smooth rounded helmet that had two horns on the sides, which had light cracks and a few chipped areas, and a simple T shaped opening for the face. However the face couldn't be seen at all as somehow only pitch blackness can be seen behind it. The only human feature that could be seen through the opening was a bright green eye on the left side of the opening, which simply looked down at the ground, exhaustion and tiredness evident in its visible pupil.


"Is that Midoryia?" Kirishima asked aloud to no one in particular.

"I…. don't know?" Jiro asked as she squinted at the screen, trying to make out if it was indeed the resident quirk lover. "I can't tell if his face is obscured because of the darkness or it's just the helmet that's doing it."

"Morons! Of course it's that worthless Deku!" Bitchface- I mean Katsuki screamed out towards the resident punk rocker and hardener. "Who else would the stupid screen show if it's not him?! Hell can't you see the damn green eye?!"

"Geeze bro, calm down. I'm just asking, besides, Izubro isn't the only one with green eyes here." Kirishima said defensively while Jiro couldn't help but roll her eyes at the blonde prick, wondering what she did to deserve having him as a classmate.

"What's with the getup though?" Nejire asked curiously as she looked at the armor clad figure with interest.

"I think it's kinda obvious Nejire. Judging by the look of the building and the armor he's wearing, this must be a medieval type world and if that's the case, then the version of Midoryia there must be some kind of valiant knight of some sorts." Mirio said to his airheaded friend.

"A-A knight?" Eri asked curiously. "L-Like the ones from my story books? Does that mean he does things like slay dragons and save princesses?"

'Saves princesses huh?' Both Ochako and Toga thought in unison before the thought of them wearing princess dresses were being saved by their Izuku, wearing white knight armor and having a brave look on his face. This little fantasy caused the two of them to blush slightly.

'Izuku….my very own knight in shining armor.' Ochako thought as she swore she felt her heart skip a beat.

'Izuku-kun, saving me from peril, and living happily ever after with me.' Toga thought as her signature smile crept it's way onto her face.

"Oh course, I don't see why not! " Mirio said enthusiastically, making the small girl smile a bit, if only slightly.

"O-Okay Mirio. B-But I have something else to ask." Looking back at the screen and pointing at the object the other Izuku dragged behind him, she asked the upperclassmen. "W-What's that thing he's dragging behind him? I've never seen the knights in my story books hold something like that before."

"Well that's easy Eri. Clearly that's a…." Mirio trailed off as he took a good look at the thing Izuku was dragging behind him. Despite still having a smile on his face, it was plain obvious that he was dumbstruck at the object. "Shovel?"

"A-A shovel?" Eri parroted, confused herself. And it wasn't just her either, as other people had similar thoughts as the horned girl.

"Uh, does somebody want to explain why knight Midoryia there has a shovel in his hand?" Sero asked Kaminari, Jiro, and Kirishima.

"Well, I….think it's pretty obvious." Denki said, albeit in a tone of uncertainty.

"Oh really? Then please enlighten us?" Jiro said sarcastically.

"Uh? I mean of course. Ahem, clearly the reason why Izuku has a shovel instead of something like a sword or bow is because…. he uses it to save princesses? Y-Yes, he uses it to save princesses who had been buried by evil knights, and uh, are being guarded by giant monster plants, and that's what we're gonna see now. Yeah, that's it, that's what's gonna happen."

Jiro, Kirishima and Sero couldn't help but give the blonde a look that just screamed, 'really dude? Just really?'

"Bro, come on. Even you gotta admit how ridiculous that sounds." Kirishima said as he disappointedly shook his head.

"W-Well, what else could it be used for?" Denki asked as he slowly began to look dejected.

"Whacking people upside the head. Kero." Tsuyu pointed out.

Denki couldn't help but feel completely stupid as he hung his head miserably. "You guys suck, you know that right?" He said sadly as a comical rain cloud appeared over his head.

"Grrrh, will you shut it?!" You know who yelled as he grew tired of all the commentary. "If you wanna see what the loser's gonna do with the shovel then just zip it and watch already!" Crossing his arms he let out an annoyed huff, trying to focus on the damn screen.

"Alright dude, chill." Kirishima said as he tried to ease the explosive blonde's temper before looking back at the screen.


The sound of unrelenting rainfall and the occasional burst of thunder roared outside as S.K.I (Shovel Knight Izuku) continued his way through the hall while dragging behind his weapon of the same name, destroying the elegant rug behind him. The armored figure continued on his path uninterruptedly until he came across a small staircase leading down into a room of sorts. Seeing as how he couldn't turn back, he descended the stairs and entered a small, almost pitch black room that was devoid of any windows leading out towards the outside world. The only light source in the room came from a hole that lied directly in the center of the floor, allowing light to cover most of the ceiling.

The armored Izuku's one visible eye narrowed, making it clearly obvious his hidden face was scowling. Walking into the room and stopping directly in front of the hole, S.K.I tilted his head down and that on the other side there were several wooden beams around the hole, and further down he could see the smallest pinprick of light that was responsible for illuminating the mostly dark room that he was in. However, he couldn't excatly tell what the light source was as it was too far down for him to make out, but he was certain that it had to be a torch or a candle of sorts as the light had a soft yellow glow to it. Not only that, but he swore he could hear noises from down there. Call him mad, but it almost sounded like…. people were talking down there? But about what though?


"I feel like something is about to go down!" Mina said in a hushed tone that was in between excitement and suspense.

"Shut, Up!" Trash fire-I mean Bakugou growled out.


Well, regardless of what the noises were, S.K.I wasn't concerned. He had already vanquished a number of creatures and goons in his journey already, and he wasn't about to back down now. Talking a deep breath and straightening himself out, he said with a deep and noble tone. "Of course that witch would have me go through something like this. Doesn't matter though I suppose, whatever foul tricks she has up her sleeve won't keep me from reaching my destination! Hang on for a little longer Shield Knight, I'm almost there!"


"Shield Knight?" Tsuyu croaked out in confusion.

"Must be Midoriya's comrade in this world. Question is, if this world is anything like the last one, which one of us will be this 'Shield Knight'?" Todoroki asked as he pondered which person he knew could take the role of this apperante knight. Guess their going to have to wait and see.


Without any hesitation, S.K.I bravely jumped into the hole and allowed himself to go falling into the lower floor below him. As he fell the noises that he had heard became close enough for him to figure out that it was indeed people who were talking with one another, but due to the rushing wind he couldn't tell who they were. Not only that, but his nose had also picked the smell of roasted meat, wine, and ale. Was there a feast or celebration of sorts happening below him? Why though, he had defeated all of those vile fiends who served under their cold hearted master, liberated dozens of fortresses and towns from her, and had slain dozens of monsters created from her wicked magic. What reason is there for her to celebrate, and with whom? Guess he was about to find out.

Bracing himself and making sure it was his legs that landed first, S.K.I landed on the ground with a heavy metal crash and miraculously, instead of his legs shattering upon impact, the knighted hero had landed into a kneeling position before quickly getting to his feet and brandishing his shovel, taking on a combat pose. Shifting his gaze across the room, the knighted hero first noticed that not even ten feet away from him, there was another pit in front of him just like in the last room, only instead of it being a simple hole big enough for him to fit through, this one was a giant and seemed to go down forever, and near the edge of the hole he saw device that resembled winches that were used on shipping vessels to bring up the anchor, however instead of having said anchor, the winch simply had chain wrapped around the axle, so he couldn't exactly figure out what its purpose was.

(A/N: I really don't know what that thing the Knights hang on to dear life for is exactly called, so I'm just calling it a winch. If any of you wish to correct me, by all means go ahead.)

However, S.K.I didn't have to think about the oddly placed contraption for too long, as he soon noticed that the voices he heard from earlier had just….ceased. The only thing that could be heard was the constant rainfall going on outside and the occasional bolt of thunder that would roar with a deafening bang. Something wasn't right here.


The atmosphere for most of the crowd grew tense as they could feel the foreboding suspense for what was about to happen while others simply watched the screen with growing curiosity, knowing that something interesting was about to come forth.


S.K.I lifted his gaze away from the hole and simply stared forward as his only visible eye slightly widened. Behind him, he could feel the presence of several others which caused him to tighten the grip he had on his shovel blade and steady nerves to face whatever, or whoever the people were behind him. However, as if they could predicte what he was about to do, one of the figures he sensed behind him spoke out in a voice that was all too familiar to him.

"Are you just going to stand there all night, or are you going to turn around and get this over with? Some of us have much better things to do you know?" A male sounding voice said in a cold, tired and lifeless tone with a hint of despair clearly evident as well.

Subconsciously swallow the invisible lump he had in his throat, S.K.I did as the voice said slowly turned his head around to face the presences he had felt, and once his eyes had gazed over the ones responsible for the feeling he had felt, his shock only grew more as he was presented with eight faces that weren't only familiar to him, but to the audience as well.


"Kero?!" Tsuyu exclaimed as her, Kirishima, and basically most of the class simply stared at the people on the screen with wide eyes.

"I-I can't believe this." Aoyama said with his typical, (and somewhat weird), facial expression. Although, his smile was somewhat faltering and his eyes clearly showed he was just as shocked as well.

Shoto and Dabi seemed to share the same expression as both of them simply stared at the screen with widened eyes and a small gaping mouth, both not believing their own eyes on what's being shown before them.

Class 1-B and their teacher were just as surprised as their 1-A neighbors as well, however one blond classmate of theirs was more shocked than the rest of them. And speaking of teachers, one support course mentor could only look dumbfounded at the screen while his pink haired burden had an expression that was a mixture of shock, curiosity, and excitement.

And for one highschooler turned disposable villain now turned convinced. He couldn't comprehend what he was witnessing as he didn't think he'd even seen it as he wasn't with the league no more.

'I-It's me!' Monoma, Dabi, Shoto, Tsuyu, Kirishima, Aoyama, Power Loader, and Mustard thought simultaneously as gazed at the eight counterparts on the screen.


That it was. Sitting in eight separate chairs with empty plates and cutlery laid out in front of them, (except for Shoto), were the figures of Monoma, Kirishima, Mustard, Aoyama, Dabi, Power Loader, Tsuyu, and Shoto in that order from left to right. Each one wearing a unique outfit and adopting a different expression on their faces.

"!" S.K.I couldn't believe what he was seeing. Eight of the Orders most powerful yet vile generals were sitting out in front of him, and each one didn't even have a single scratch since his last encounters with them. What kind of trickery was that witch trying at?!

"Kerohohoh! Now…. This! This is…. Rich!" Tsuyu was the first one to say something as she stared at S.K.I with a smug grin on her face as she spoke with a vengeful and something similar to greedy voice. Much like her quirky counterpart, her face held the same frog like features except that her tongue was of regular size and her hairstyle was done in the same way. She wore a outfit that consisted of a light brown diver dress with dark brown boots and a glove on her left hand. On her knees and elbows were metallic dark blue pads as well as a brown utility belt with a buckle the same color as her joint pads. The most eye catching pieces of her uniform however was the giant dark blue cannon with a small anchor sticking from it on her right arm and the giant bronze device strapped to her back, and both the cannon and device were connected to one another via a chain that retracted the anchor back into the cannon after it was fired. Sitting next to her was bronze helmet that resembled an old divers mask, complete with a yellow glass porthole, and had a fin like protrusion sticking out from the top of it. S.K.I had to crinkle his nose slightly as the seaweed haired girl reeked of saltwater and fish. Clearly her obsession with riches made her forget to properly clean herself it seemed.

"Ugh, who let this peasant in here to spoil our sumptuous supper?" Monoma asked aloud as he stared at S.K.I in disgust. He spoke in a very regal tone, although it sounded very forced and wasn't that all convincing to be honest. Much like S.K.I, Monoma wore a suit of armor that was somewhat similar to our heroes, albeit his was colored gold instead of light blue. Also, instead of having a few metal pads around his waist and armored legs like S.K.I, Monoma had a golden plate armored skirt on his waist and wore black skintight leggings to cover his lower body, with orange colored armored boots over them. His armor's shoulder pads, instead of being made of rounded pieces of metal, were black and red striped pieces of cloth that puffed outwards, which was reminiscent of the ancient kings from the past. And just like the kings, around his neck was a long elegant red cape with spotted white fur around the edges that was held onto the armor by two ruby encrusted buttons. Like with Tsuyu, he also had a helmet that stood next to him, except this one was a simple golden knights helmet with a capital t visor. However the most eye catching piece of the helmet was the jewel engraved crown sitting on top of it. Of S.K.I didn't know any better, he'd be inclined to believe that he was compensating for something.

"Hardly a surprise that you've yet again set foot where you don't belong…" This time it was Dabi who spoke, who was also the one responsible for the voice from earlier. Dabis attire consisted of a grey suit of armor that had a somewhat skeletal appearance, also had a ironed skirt, and the gauntlets of the armor that had thin protrusions around the elbow. Beneath his armor a was black skin tight suit that completely covered his body from his feet all the way up to his head, however his black hair and face were the only things that the suit hadn't covered up, in fact due to his hair and suit being the same shade of black it was hard to tell where the hair and suit meet. Above his armor, Dabi wore a tattered, red hooded robe that gave him a sinister, death like appearance. Which would make sense considering that directly next to him was a large, red and rustic brown scythe standing right before him, making the audience wonder how someone with such a slim frame could be able to wield such a giant weapon. Like the previous two knights, Dabi also had a helmet as well, however his was just a simple rustic brown face mask with grills on it. Like the real Dabi, this one also had scars on him as well, however instead of looking like burnt skin, this Dabis scarred skin was necrotic, almost making him look like the undead. Fitting, giving his theme. As S.K.I looked over the reaper like figure, he couldn't help but notice that while Dabi's expression was more or less emotionless, he could see that his eyes held pain, despair, sadness and regret, but why?

"We should… Heh, Heh, Heh… Punish you!" Taking his gaze away from Dabi, S.K.I turned his gaze over to Mustard who was the only knight in the room besides him that had his face concealed with his mask. Unlike the previous three knights from before, his uniform was much more simple. He wore a dark, long sleeved cloak which only showed off his armored black and green hands and his armored leggings which were golden in color and had black armored knee pads on them. The cloak had a green belt that held a bag on his waist and green shoulder pads that were connected by a golden rope, other than that though it was pretty much bare. The most unique thing though was his helmet, which looked to be a combination of his WW2 styled villain mask and a plague doctor's mask which made a certain white haired girl in the audience almost experience a traumatic flashback. S.K.I could smell whatever potent potions he had on them, and he doubted any of them were good.

"You're in deep now! We want a rematch!" Kirishima yelled as he slammed his fists on the table and bared his teeth at the blue knight, eager to get his revenge. Like Mustard, his armor was also simplistic. He wore a simple red suit of armor that covered his chest, stomach, and groin while underneath he wore a black bodysuit like Dabi, albeit his was much more baggier. On his legs were red boots with orange knee guards while the feet were yellow and curled. His shoulder pads were simple discs that were emitting flames while his gauntlets were red and had four yellow, mole-like fingers on them. Like the other knights his helmet rested right beside him, and as far as design goes, it was a simple red helmet with a yellow grill plate and on top it was a plume made of flames. Kirishima's face was covered in dirt and sweat, most like a result of digging around too much in the lost city.

"My new plans have no flaws! You can't win this time!" The parallel Power Louder boasted proudly as he raised both his hands into the air, with one of them holding a wrench. Unlike the others, his outfit didn't really match that of a knight, but more of a blacksmith. He wore typical beige button up shirt, brown pants, black steel toed boots, tan leather gloves, and the usually black blacksmith apron. The only odd thing was the shoulder pads that resembled bolts. His helmet was just an armored welders mask with a "scar" running down it. The various oil stains on his face and clothes made it clear to S.K.I that he had been working on something, but what?

"A battle royal then? Marvelous! Who will go first?" Aoyama asked in a gleeful tone. Befitting his French heritage, Aoyama wore an outfit that was reminiscent of a French general. He had army green pants with dark green knee pads and wore black steel toe boots with gold buckles while the steel toes were completely white. His upper body consisted of a green jacket with three horizontal straps and a popped up collar, fine black gloves and the shoulders had yellow pads with strands of rope on them. Attached to his hip was a golden rapier that he had one hand on. And as for his helmet, well it by far was the most eye catching one out of all the knights as it's design was something else. For a visor, it was a simple cross shape, but resting on top of it was a contraption that was made up of some gears, a propeller and two long handles that were most likely used to help steer. It made S.K.I wonder where and how he got such a thing, as he doubted someone like Aoyama was capable of building such a thing.

"Hmph. Pass the salt." Said Todoroki with bored indifference. Unlike the others, Todoroki was the only one who was actually eating anything, which was simply just a large slab of meat on a bone in one hand while the other had a large wooden goblet of ale in the other. Shoto didn't resemble that of a knight, but rather a viking of sorts as Shoto wore a brown robe and a black belt with a silver buckle around his waist. His legs were adorned with brown leather boots with steel tips and knee guards. Wrapped around his wrists and boots were dirty brown straps of cloth while his shoulders were covered in thick, chipped steel plates, each with a spike sticking out from the middle. Covering his neck and back was a large, dirty white fur cape that reached just above his knees. Like Mustard, Shoto too wore his helmet, but unlike the plague doctor, his didn't obscure his face, therefore allowing the audience to see his facial features. Like the vikings from fiction, Shoto's helmet consisted of two metal studs resting on his forehead, with the small one being underneath the larger one, while on the sides of his head were two short horns that curved downward. Other than the helmet though, the things that drew attention to Shoto was the fact that his face lacked the scar that made the Quirk user so identifiable. Not only that, but his hair and skin was different as well. Even though it was covered up by his helmet, strands of Shoto's hair stuck out from the bottom, and instead being bicolored, both sides were completely white. As for his skin, instead of having it's fair complexion, this Shoto's skin was a dull cold grey and looked rough to touch, making him look more rugged like the Vikings of old. The last thing about him, and probably the strangest, was that like S.K.I, Shoto too had a Shovel on his person as well, however instead of being a simple garden tool, his was a massive snow shovel that looked like it could easily tear someone in half. S.K.I couldn't help but ask himself why his old friend decided to join this band of criminals to serve that vile monster.


A few students in 1A let out a small, nervous laugh at Todoroki's comment. However due to what they were seeing they were a little freaked out with what they were seeing, and a few people in the audience had a few mixed reactions.

While mostly everyone was shocked by what they were seeing Stain, Mustard and Dabi, the last two of which had gotten over their shocks of being seen on screen, eyed the image with slight interest while others, like Toga for example, couldn't contain their excitement of what was about to go down. As for Eri however, the sight of seeing the parallel Mustards plague doctor mask brought back some rather…. unpleasant memories that she would rather prefer be dead and buried for good. Seeing how uncomfortable she looked, Mirio placed a hand on her shoulder in a comforting manner, letting her know everything was alright.

"You guys don't think Midoriya's gonna, you know, kill anyone right?" Denki whispered over to Jiro and Kirishima.

"Well we do now jackass." Jiro replied, now having worried thoughts that Izuku might kill the others, especially Tsuyu and Kirishima. "And I don't think you should be putting those thoughts in Kiris head!" She whispered harshly.

"O-Oh, sorry."


S.K.I couldn't believe what he was seeing before him! All of the members of the Order of No Quarter were all sitting here before him, seemingly all healed up from their injuries from his first battles with him. No doubt that vile witch Enchantress most likely used her magic to return them to full health so that they may serve as her final line of defense.

S.K.I tightened his grip on his trusty weapon. Of course she would do something like this. Send out her restored lackeys to whittle down what strength he had left and then take him on when he was at his weakest. It's something a coward like her would come up with on short notice. Doesn't matter though to him in the slightest. He'll take on as many as need be to reach the Enchantress and defeat her! He has to in order to save his companion from the Enchantresses grasp once and for all!


"Enchantress?" One of the students asked

"It must be the leader of this group. The Order of No Quarter, I think is what it's called." Aizawa replied.

'That's a stupid name.' Tomura mentally said. What kinda idiot would name their group the Order of No Quarter. That was something as dumb like a group of villains calling themselves the League of Villains or something like that, ahahaha- hey, wait a minute.


"Hmph! Stand aside plebeians!" Everyone looked over at Monoma to the blond "ruler" quickly got to his feet as he donned his crowned helmet, which completely obscured his entire face in pure darkness like with S.K.I. "As ruler of Pridemoor Keep, I, King Knight, shall be the one to bring down these worthless peasant to enact my well deserved vengeance!"


"Of course he would give himself such a pretentious name." One of the 1B students said under their breath, much to Monoma's displeasure.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!"

"Well, he does have a point. After all you are kinda…. well actually really pretentious to be honest." Setsuna said as she twirled her hair around her finger.

"I am not pretentious! What would even give you such an idea?!"

The blondes response was met with a stare from his fellow classmates as well as most of 1-As students that said, 'really dude?'. After a second of silence, Monoma hung his head as he mumbled something under his breath. Probably not very kind.


S.K.I, who simply stared at the false king with an expression similar to unamusement, craned his head to the side as he held a hand to his hip. "Really? Has the memory of our previous encounter skipped your mind? If my memory serves to correct me, I was able to bring you to his knees in a matter of a few strikes."

King Knight Monoma, or K.K.M for short, growled at the blue figure as he shook his clenched fist. "That was a fluke I say! There is no way someone as lowly as you could bring down someone as elegant and glorious as I! And I shall prove it here by bringing you down in one fell swoop!"

"Funny, if I recall correctly that was the same thing you said to me right before I dethroned you. Well, maybe dethroned isn't the proper word, because that would be implying that you actually were a king."

"W-Why you!" K.K.M shook with rage before letting out a roar and went charging at S.K.I with his scepter held tightly within his hand. Much to the surprise of the crowd however, the golden knight rushed towards S.K.I with such speeds that not only did the blue knight have trouble dodging it, despite the fact that he saw it coming from a mile away, but by the time Monoma realized he had missed and decided to skid to a halt he was already on the other side of the large room.


"What the-?! How the heck was he able to get from one side to another so quickly without that bulky armor and stupid cape weighting him down?!" Setsuna questioned, not expecting her parallel classmate to possess such speed.

"Maybe it could be a Quirk he copied or even an entirely different one on its own." Kinoko questioned.

"Or it could also be magic too. After all there is that Enchantress lady he mentioned earlier, and if the name's anything to go by, magic must exist in this world. Maybe it could've been given to him by her for all we know." Awase said, not quite believing that someone like this Monoma, or any Monoma for that matter, could learn magic.

And while the students of class 1-B continued to talk amongst themselves, Izuku and All Might couldn't help but slightly be reminded of Gran Torino because well, you know, they just saw someone dressed in yellow speed across the room in just a short amount of time.

(Real creative I know.)


"Stand still you blue plebeian so I can show you what happens when you disrespect me, the one true king of Pridemore Keep!" K.K.M said as he quickly spun around and prepared for another charge at S.K.I. However, just as he had began to dash forward and attempt to bash the blue knight with his scepter, S.K.I quickly reached behind his back and (seemingly from out of nowhere) pulled something out before pointing it up at Monoma. In his hand was a golden wand that had a small little ball of the same color on one end while a larger, red crystal ball sat on the other. Surrounding the crystal ball was several golden plates that resembled flames.


The audience watched in sheer confusion on what the alternate Midoriya pulled out and what he was planning on doing with it. However the two most curious to see were none other than Izuku and Mei. Izuku because, well, he was curious to see what his duplicate had planned while Mei was wondering if she could make a baby from what she was about to see.


"I think not! you false golden monarch! Take this!" The crystal ball on the wand began to glow a bright red before quickly releasing two burning white spheres of energy directly at K.K.M who, upon seeing the projectiles flying towards him, began to panic and tried to dodge, but at the speed he was going, his fate had already been sealed.

With both projectiles slamming into him at full force, K.K.M lost his footing and now went tumbling towards S.K.I uncontrollably. Lifting up his shovel blade over his shoulder, the blue knight waited until his foe was close enough, and just when he was, S.K.I swung the flat side of his into Monoma's helmet, crating a sicking metallic bang and causing him to go stumbling back a few feet back before losing control of his footing, making him fall on his posterior in a almost comical manner.


Some of the more immature students and faculty of U.A couldn't help but silently chuckle at the sight of the blonde getting bitch slapped onto his ass by a shovel of all things. The two most noticeable I like to people were none other than a certain greenette and welder of class 1-B, both of whom were currently trying to suppress a snort of laughter at the expense of their classmate.

'Hahahaha! Oh man! He got smacked on his ass by a gardening tool of all things! I never thought I'd get to live long enough to see something so glorious!' Awase mentally wiped away a nonexistent tear in his head as he looked over at his blond classmate, who was currently sulking away in his seat, muttering something negative about class 1-A. Awase couldn't help but roll his eyes before looking back at the screen. 'Hopefully if that Monoma is anything like ours, that 1-A guy will mop the floor with him, and I hope it'll be good.' Awase thought as he prepared to watch the fight, hoping that his parallel classmate would lose. The reason for this was because he, and some of his other classmates such as Manga and Bondo, weren't particularly fond of the smug blond or his annoying obsession over class 1-A. So the chance to see his classmate get humiliated, even if it was a different version of him, was sorta like a dream come true, one he'll most definitely savor every moment of as long as he could.

Setsuna on the other hand simply grinned at the show she was about to see. While she might not have shared the same disdain for Monoma like Awase did, Setsuna wouldn't deny that potentially watching her blond classmate getting beaten black and blue would definitely be entertaining. She just hoped that greenie there didn't, well, use the sharp edge of that shovel.


"Haha! Had enough, you pompous fraud, or must I humiliate you further than I must?" S.K.I asked as he placed a hand on his hip and cocked his head as he watched Monoma slowly rise up from the ground, no doubt clearly flustered behind his golden headwear.

"Grrrr! You overgrown brute! Look at what you've done to me!" He yelled as he gestured at his golden armor, which was now slightly singed. "My glorious attire has been ruined, sullied by you! Do you know how long it will take me to clean up this mess?!"

While K.K.M was distraught over this "travesty" that has befallen him, S.K.I couldn't seem to care less about the false kings whining. "Tch, how pathetic. A true king would never complain over something so miniscule. I don't know what went through the Enchantress's head when she allowed you into her ranks, but what I do know is that you are no ruler. You are nothing more than a spoiled brat who deludes himself with thoughts of grandeur."

"What did you just say?! You- You-?! GRRRAAAHH! I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET SPEWING OUT SUCH LIES!"

[The Decadent Dandy]

And thus, the battle between the false king and the noble champion has begun. Using the same speed and agility he had used earlier during his failed slashing charge, Monoma hopped around the arena in a very flashy manner as he did things such as twirling around in the air. Occasionally he would try to attack S.K.I by either using a paralyzing stomp or, if he was on either side of the arena, would attempt to do a slashing charge with his scepter. However no matter how hard he tried, neither attacks would ever land their target. S.K.I was able to predict Monoma's stomp attack easily, so all he had to do was jump when the golden knight landed and then take wild strikes at Monoma as he tried to pull his scepter from out of the ground. And as for the slashing charge, it was easy to predict as well, the only tricking thing for S.K.I was timing a Pogo jump off Monoma's head as he went by. He did bounce of the golden teens head a few times, however when he didn't land the hit he would simply fire off rounds from the flare wand when K.K.M still had his back turned towards him, so it wasn't that much of a big deal.

A minute after the fight had begun and Monoma was already on his last legs, not really surprising S.K.I not any of the other Order knights. After all he was the weakest out of everyone there without the aid of his heirlooms or special armors, so he really didn't stand much of a chance against the blue knight. However, that didn't mean Monoma wasn't gonna just give up yet. With a wave of his hand, several passages opened up on the walls, causing several large golden horns to slide out before bellowing out a triumphant sound trumpet, causing several metallic shards of brightly colored "confetti" to be launched into the air as the horns retreated back into the wall.

This made things slightly tricky for S.K.I, as he now had to focus on two hazards during his fight, and because of this he was slightly nicked by the "confetti" in some places. However unlike the first time he had dealt with Monoma, were he was still rusty with his shovelry skills, S.K.I Izuku had nothing to worry over as he now knew what he was doing. Because of that, as the last of the "confetti" fell to the ground, S.K.I was able to make quick work of Monoma with a few swift slashes of his shovel. And with the final slash he sent Monoma falling down into the bottomless pit next to them, and as he fell down, he couldn't help but scream in pure terror. The golden monarch continued to scream until eventually his cries died out into pure silence.


The crowd, or basically all of class 1-A and B, a few teachers and some others, stared wide eyed at the screen at the sight they just saw.

"D-Did greeny just kill Monoma?!" Setsuna asked, clearly shocked due to the fact that she just watched an alternate version of her classmate get thrown into a dark pit.

"H-H-Hey now! Let's not jump to any rash conclusions here! We don't know if he actually killed him! I mean yeah he tossed him into that pit thing, but your classmate could've survived! After all, we all did see Mibroryia take a long fall into that room earlier and he came out fine! So maybe your friend did too, ahehe, r-right guys?" Kirishima asked as he looked over at Kaminari and Jiro to see if they agreed with him, only to be met with silence as the two didn't know what to say.

As everyone simply tried to think over what they had seen though, two people in the crowd had their own unique reactions to the scene that has played out before them, those two being Izuku and Monoma obviously. Izuku was clearly far more shocked then everyone else as the thought of his parallel self killing someone was, well, horrifying to him. After all, the thought of him killing someone was enough to get his stomach turning. Sure, there was the possibility that he didn't kill the bratty student of 1-B, because there was the probability of the blonde surviving his fall. That wasn't enough to quell the churning feeling in his stomach though.

As for Monoma on the other hand, well, he was slightly mortified for obvious reasons. (After all, how should one react to watching themselves get tossed into a deep dark pit?) Besides that however, Monoma was also feeling two other emotions, those being unjust anger and humility. The sight of him being humiliated by that no good 1-A runt didn't go down well for him, and the sight of being tossed aside like that into the pit clearly indurated the spoiled boy to no end. Glancing at Midoriya, the blonde didn't care if it was a parallel him or not, nobody would make a fool of Neito Monoma regardless of the reality.


"Hahaha, poor little King Knight! He never stood much of a chance!" Mustard laughed out mockingly, relishing greatly in the false king's demise.

"Tch, what else would you expect from such a childish whelp? Even if he had his heirlooms and strongest armor, he still wouldn't have been able to last very long. He sealed his fate the moment he decided to take such a self destructive challenge." Dabi said with an uncaring tone. He had never liked the golden mamma's boy ever since he met the pampered brat all those months ago during the Enchantresses ridiculous Joustest plot.

Meanwhile as the knights spoke, S.K.I couldn't help but tightly clench his fists as he listened to this vermin spoke. He had just defeated one of their own and yet they shed not even the tiniest amount of care. Truly these so-called knights shared no honor amongst themselves.

"HaHa, indeed." Aoyama said in a haughty tone. "That fool didn't even serve as proper cannon fodder. Just look at our fine blue lad here, didn't even break a sweat. How disappointing." The Frenchmen ended his sentence with a mock frown before his usual smile quickly returned. "Though, now that the weakest one among us is no longer in the picture someone far more competent than that golden fraud could give us a proper show. Question is though, who amongst us shall step up to challenge our dashing azure friend?"

"Me!" Kirishima yelled as he slammed his fists into the table before placing his helmet on and jumping into the table. "I'm gonna be the one to bury this chump for humiliating me with that cheap little gardening tool!"


Those in the audience who knew Kirishima closely couldn't help but feel…. well, slightly odd by his crimson armored counterpart. It was kinda like watching the red head channel his inner Bakugou, except minus the swearing.


"Tch, Mole Knight. Still the same hot headed foreman of the lost city I see? And here I thought some time up here with the fresh surface air would help cool off that distasteful fiery temp-." S.K.I was cut off by the hotheaded knight.

"Shut it tin can! I didn't wait this long for my revenge just to have idle chat!" M.K.K pointed a clawed finger at his opponent. "I just wanna break your stupid digging implement into a million tiny pieces already and bury you in the deepest, darkest hole I can think of! So just shut up already and fight!"

S.K.I simply stared at the mole themed knight before sighing. "Very well then. If you insist." And with that, the green eyed knight took his stance as the audience, both the order knights and our main ones, readied themselves to watch two Titans of the earth duke it out.

[The Claws of Fate]

And with that, the battle between two subterranean titans of digging began.

Much like Monoma, M.K.K used speed during the beginning of his fight as he began by burrowing into the wall behind him before shooting out of it at high speeds towards the opposing wall while trying to skewer S.K.I with his outstretched calls. Fortunately though, S.K.I was able to dodge a few times and even land in some hits everytime the redhead burrowed back and forth between each wall. On the fourth time he bursted out of the wall however, instead of sailing through the air, he landed on his stomach and slid across the arena with his claws still outstretched in front of him. As he slid across, the friction from his claws grating across the ground caused bright, scalding sparks to fly off him making the other Order knights shield their faces as he went by while S.K.I jumped over the crimson knight and avoided being touched by the sparks. Once he was next to one of the arena walls Kirishima quickly got to his and, upon seeing that he had yet to inflict any harm on his blue armored opponent, curled his clawed gauntlet into a fist and slammed them both into the wall, causing stone bricks near the ceiling of the room to loosen before plummeting towards the mole themed knight down below. And once they were close enough Kirishima swung his mighty claws at the slabs of stone, launching them at high speeds at S.K.I who could barely react in time to deal with all of them, leading him to be struck by a few of the bricks.

Once he had finished launching all the stone projectiles at the blue knight, M.K.K quickly burrowed into the ground, leaving behind a large gaping hole in his wake. Realizing what he was doing next, S.K.I quickly spun his head around the entire arena as four piles of dirt (somehow) appeared. Realizing that he had to act quickly, the knight's green eye carefully analyzed each dirt pile carefully, trying to look for a certain yellow grill plate before noticing a small glint of yellow sticking out of one of the piles right in front of him. Without a second to waste, the blue knight bolted towards the pile and slammed his shovel into the mound of dirt before using his strength to uplift the entire thing, thinking he had caught M.K.K. But to his shock, instead of uprooting what he thought was his opponent he completely dug out one of the many giant moles Kirishima kept as pets. Fortunately for him though, the small, beady eyed creature didn't seem all to interested in fighting as once landed on the ground and noticed who it was that shoveled him out of the ground, it scurried to one of the holes M.K.K made when he was burrowing in-between the arenas walling and slid in to avoid getting harmed in the fight.

Though glad he didn't have to deal with the subterranean dweller, he knew that this mistake would cost him gravely. Turning to the other piles, S.K.I attempted to rush forward and dig up another dirt mound, but before he could get close though he was too late. As Kirishima bursted forth from one of the piles, both his and the two decoy ones exploded into a shower of fireballs, pelting S.K.I in a shower of flames as he used his shovel in an attempt to shield himself from the onslaught, with several spots on his armor gaining burnt black smudges. He had more pressing things to worry about at the moment though, because as soon as Kirishima resurfaced he quickly outstretched his claws to the side and with a mighty roar his body exploded into a brilliant burst of flames while the flaming plumb on his helmet became a pillar of flame. As he stood there in an inferno screaming his battle cry, several fireballs danced off his body and landed in random spots of the arena, scorching the ground around them and causing several of the Order knights to duck their heads to avoid being accidentally struck by the flames. As fire rained down from M.K.K's body, S.K.I simply did his best to avoid being caught by the flames while knocking some back at Kirishima with his shovel, giving the crimson knight some damage. After a few seconds of raining down hellfire the raging inferno around Kirishima died down, and as it did the redheads arms dropped to his sides as he panted deeply, clearly somewhat exhausted from both using that attack and being struck by his own projectiles as he did so. But that didn't matter to him in the slightest as he knew he still had a battle to win, so taking a deep breath he decided to continue on with the battle.

The rest of the fight transpired pretty uneventfully after that however, as M.K.K simply repeated the same strategy as before with him digging into walls, launching bricks, making dirt piles, and using his inferno attack yet again. The only difference between his first strategy and his repeat however was when he tossed the bricks at S.K.I a second time. Instead of using his shovel to deflect this time, the blue knight instead pulled out a pair of golden gauntlets that he used to completely pulverize the stones into dust and launch himself quickly at the crimson knight before decking him in the face. Besides that though, the fight was pretty much more or less the same and eventually, just like with the false monarch before, the underground foreman was sent plummeting towards the bottomless pit as S.K.I struck him one last time in the faceplate with his gauntlets, breaking the redheads helmet in two and sending him screaming into the abyss.


As the cast watched the fight, some of the students and teachers who knew Kirishima closely couldn't help but be in awe at the strength and speed their redheaded counterpart possessed. Sure, they knew their Kirishima was strong enough to break through concrete walls when in his hardened state, but he couldn't do things like burrow into the ground at a quick pace or launch stone bricks at fast speeds simply swatting them like flies. And speaking of speed, that was a other subject. While Kirishima might've been strong, his mobility was slightly above average at best, and people knew he wasn't going to be reaching All Might or even Lida speeds anytime. So to see how the parallel Kirishima moved about so quickly, while wearing such seemingly heavy looking armor, was honestly just a sight to see.

However, what really took the cake was when the alternate redhead showed off his apparent pyromancy for the first. The 1-A students couldn't help but stare in awe at the sight of their classmate erupting in a burst of flames like a mighty volcano without taking any damage. Even though he was technically a bad guy in that universe, Kirishima and a certain silver haired teen couldn't help but find the alternate Eijiro's powers to be manly as all hell. Meanwhile a certain green haired and eyed teen couldn't help but mumble up a storm while the two girls sitting next to him either stared in worry and amusement respectively. Midoriya couldn't help it though, every time he saw a new power, or in this case powers, he just felt the urge to pick apart the abilities and learn every little detail he could and what their applications could be.

'With his combined strength and speed, this version of Kirishima could serve as both an excellent rescue hero and combat hero as he could probably help excavate civilians out of collapsed structures while using his flames to keep villains back. But that begs the question, does this Kirishima have a limit to how much heat he can generate like Endeavor or does he not have a maximum output? Also, how was he able to traverse underground like that? Does he have the same senses as a mole or is it something else entirely, like using echolocation? Man, I really wish I had my notebook right about now!' As Midoryia and company watched the rest of the fight, Mei had stars in her eyes when she saw S.K.I whip out his gauntlets to destroy M.K.K's launched projectiles. After seeing the alternate Midoriya use the Flare Wand and now the Dust Knuckles, Mei couldn't help but think about building similar babies that served the same functions as those two relics. She hoped this Midoriya had other neat toys in his arsenal.

As the audience watched the end of the fight however, their excitement and awe quickly died down as they watched the Eijiro look alike get punched square in the face so hard it made him go tumbling into the abyss.

"No, horn buddy/bro!" Mina and Tetsutetsu cried out as they watched the parallel version of their friend go screaming into the abyss. While they knew their friend was still with them, watching that still didn't sit well for neither them or the rest of the crowd.

"Oh man, not again!" Denki yelled out as he gripped his hair. "What is it with everyone being killed by a bottomless pit?!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa bro! We don't know that me or that 1-B guy were killed! For all we know, my other self and his," Eijiro pointed at Monoma. "counterpart could've survived that fall! So let's not go around saying anyone died alright!"

"What?! Kiri, he threw you down a pit that's who knows how deep! Even with all that armor on, your other self would've died from the impact! Even if they did survive the fall, then they would most likely be writhing on the ground, probably paralyzed because all of their bones would be- ow!" Before Denki could finish his sentence, a pair of earphone jacks stabbed themselves into the electric blondes legs.

"Dude," Jiro said in a hushed whisper. "shut the hell up. You're goddamn words aren't exactly helping him out." The rocker pointed one of her earphones at a certain green haired classmate of there's, who was currently looking at the screen in shock and guilt once more at the sight of his counterpart sending someone falling down an unknown fate. Only difference this time though was the fact that he actually liked and knew Kirishima more closely then Monoma, meaning his guilt was far greater.

"Oh, sorry." Denki said as he rubbed the back of his head, feeling like a complete ass now for forgetting Midoryia was sitting close by.

The air around the students and staff around UA grew slightly uncomfortable. While they knew that the alternate Izuku had possibly sent the parallel UA students to their deaths, some were just glad that he wasn't using his weapon to finish anyone off, and hopefully it stays that way. Eri and Kota don't need to see their hero brutally decapitate someone and 1-A (except Bakagou) doesn't wanna see their friend take a life, even if it's a parallel version of him. So if it meant avoiding any gorey deaths, the UA cast would be fine with Shovel Deku yeeting people off the arena, even if it was still uncomfortable to watch. Hopefully what Kirishima said was right and that the people being thrown into the pit did survive.


"Is it over?" Mustard asked as he poked his head out from under the stone table/arena. His plague doctor mask having a few black smudges on it while various spots on his robe had smoke wafting off. Clearly he suffered being struck a few times by M.K.K's fireballs.

"Fortunately, yes." Tsuyu replied as she also removed her head from under the table. Fortunately for her, she was able to avoid being burnt by any stray fireballs. "Kero, what was that red-headed idiot thinking? He could've killed us with one of those! Honestly, I swear."

"It's Mole Knight, what else do you expect?" Dabi replied. "The Enchantresses valued him because he had access to rare metals and valuable minerals. Not because he was the brightest of the bunch."

"Kero, still. To risk almost frying his teammates like a sea bass? What kind of dunderhead does that?" Tsuyu said under her breath.

"It doesn't matter alright, what's happened, happened. What matters now is defeating blue boy here and now."

"Oui, oui! I agree with monsieur Specter Knight! Which of us here shall rise up to ze challenge?" Aoyama asked as he looked around the room, hoping nobody says anything so that he may be the next to challenge S.K.I.

"Hmph. Not me. Still eating." Shoto said, completely disinterested as he took another bite from his almost finished meal before swallowing it down with ale from his almost empty mug.

"Oh! Me! I wanna go next!" Power Loader screamed as he hastily put on his helmet quickly scrambled his way onto the arena. Grabbing a wrench from his pocket, he jumped on the balls of his feet in excitement. "I've come up with a new strategy that I've been just dying to try out! Let me take a crack at him! Please, please, please!"


The UA staff and student body, even some villains and hero's, couldn't help but sweat drop at Power Loaders very…. eccentric behavior.

"That's Higari?" Midnight asked as she stared at the screen in bewilderment, clearly not used to seeing the usually strict Support Course teacher act so…. hyperactive.

"This is just bizarre. He's acting like a kid who just downed an entire packet of pixie sticks." Present Mic whispered as he was taken aback slightly by the alternate Power Loader's personality. The part time DJ didn't even think his co-worker could act like this. It creeped him out if he were to be honest.

However the one person who was shocked by the very hyper personality of the alternate Power Loader was non other than the actual one, obviously. While people could see the Support Course teachers gaping mouth, if one were to look through the eye slots of his helmet they would see that Power Loaders widened eyes filled with shock, embracement, and slight fear within. Now the shock and embracement is understandable, but you're probably wondering why he has fear? Well, it was because the personality of his alternate self was one he was all too familiar with, and it terrified him to know there was a version of him that acted like a certain troublemaking student of his. Turning his gaze to a certain pinkette who had stars in her eyes and an excited grin on her face as she stared at the screen with giddy excitement, he wondered that If his counterpart was as sporadic as his student, then what was that world's version of Mei like? Was she the serious one, or was she much, much worse? He really hoped it was the former, he really did.


"Alright, alright. Just come down before you blow a gasket, geeze." Dabi said in a bored tone, electing an offended 'hey!' from Power Loader, but the undead just continued. "Alright everyone, I guess Tinker Knight here is gonna show us how it's done. Let's see how long he'll last before getting defeated like the last two."

T.K.P.L scoffed at the reapers response. "Jerk." Turning to face S.K.I he spoke. "I'll show them. I'll do what that dunderhead and momma's boy couldn't do and finish you off here and now! Your journey's come to an end Shovel Knight, for now face me, the engineer of the Clockwork Tower, Tinker Knight! And this time, my new plans are foolproof, so you have no chance to win this time!"

While Power Loader was giving his little "intimidating" speech, S.K.I had to suppress snickering at the little man's attempt to be threatening. He couldn't help it, it was just too humorous not to laugh at it. "Tchehe, I'm sorry, but are you serious? Does thou not remember our first encounter weeks ago? What makes you think someone of your frame, stature, and lack of any combat experience has any hope of defeating someone like me, the complete opposite of you?"

"Grrr! Shut up! I'm not going down that easily like last time! I'll send you flying with my brain power alone! So bring it nitwit!"

[The Schemer]

The fight between brains and brawn began, and to say that the fight was intense was…. well, a massive, and I mean MASSIVE overstatement. Because just like the boss music playing, this fit was just plain silly.

How? Well, for the entirety of the fight, T.K.P.L's main and only strategy was to simply run towards S.K.I with his little legs while throwing his wrench, which had the characteristics of boomerang, as a means of attacking. All the while S.K.I simply dodged and kept his distance, not even bothering to attack the blacksmith, not because he was dangerous, oh no, it was because blue knight decided to show pity to the little man and decided to prolong this fight for a little while, wanting to give the mechanic at least a chance.

During the fight, T.K.P.L would occasionally trip up before falling down. After he would pick himself up off the ground he would launch a flurry of wrenches into the air in a sad attempt to hit S.K.I while tears flew out of the visor of his helmet, but he failed miserably.

Literally a minute after the fight began, the shovel wielding knight decided to stop pitying this little man so he can move on. As soon as the inventor tripped over himself, S.K.I immediately reached behind himself and pulled out a small box made up of light navy blue metal plates and on the side of the box was a small gear emblem with the words 'Mobile Gear' carved into it. Tossing the relic towards the ground, the second the steel cube made contact with the floor it exploded into a cloud the same navy color before revealing a strange device that was simply made up of two gears, one standing vertically while another laid horizontally on top. At first the device was completely stationary, but with one small thwack with a shovel, the relic quickly sputtered to life and began moving towards T.K.P.L who was in the middle of lifting himself off the ground. When he noticed the moving platform speeding right towards him, the medieval mechanic could only curse himself for letting one of his inventions fall into the wrong hands before ultimately getting run over by his device. As the Mobile Gear moved across Power Loaders short stature, each time one of the gears teeth landed on him the sound of bones cracking could be heard, causing a shrill cry to emanate from T.K.P.L, but fortunately the device didn't kill him or give him any serious, life threatening wounds.

As the Mobile Gear moved off his body, the device kept moving before eventually slamming into the wall, where it then bursted into a cloud of smoke? Somehow? And with that the fight was seemingly over.


As the audience watched as the fight came to an "end", many of them had different thoughts at what they had just seen. The students for the most part found it sorta hilarious about how this Power Loader didn't seem to have much combat experience and so just flailed about like a child and we're glad S.K.I didn't sentence him to the same fate as Kirishima or Monoma.

The teachers for the most part shared the same sentiments as their students, though some looked over at the support teacher with a questioning look, some being Midnight, Mic, and Yagi. They knew their colleague was a capable fighter, without a doubt. However that was mostly due to the fact that he mostly relied on a mobile mech suit, and they can't remember the last time they saw the ginger haired man fight without it. They sincerely hope he could.

Speaking of said man, while he was glad he wasn't thrown into the pit like the last two opponents, Power Loaders face was currently a tint of red from embarrassment. Even though it was an alternate version of himself, it was still somewhat humiliating to see himself act and fight in such a rookie matter. At least it couldn't get anymore worse than that.

Meanwhile, Power Loaders most chaotic and hectic student couldn't help but stare at the screen in disappointment. When she saw that her teacher would be the one to fight next, she thought she see so many wonderful things that would give her plenty of ideas to make new and unique babies. However the only things of interest was the boomerang wrench and that moving gear platform. Sigh, so much for that she thought.


"Oooowwww!" T.K.P.L slowly lifted himself off the ground as he rubbed his helmets head gently. "Of all the conceivable things I could think of, getting ran over by one of my old prototypes was not one of them." Glaring at S.K.I, he continued. "And you say we're no good miscreants? You, the man who stole one of my things. Hmph, the nerve!"

S.K.I gave off a mocking laugh. "Haha, my apologies Tinker Knight. I just couldn't help myself when Chester presented this to me. It's been of great usage to me. Though, if I must give credit where it's due, I should really by thanking you. Had you not made this little contraption, then my journey wouldn't have been made a little easier, so thank you so much for making me this device. Such a shame you refuse to use your gifts for something better however."

Power Loader saw red. How dare this blue tin can insult him like this?! "Why you- you-! Grrrh! Well if you enjoy that worthless prototype so much, then you'll really enjoy what I have in store for you!" Bringing his fingers up to where his mouth would be, T.K.P.L (somehow?) let out a high pitched whistle. Almost immediately, the right side of the ceiling opened up, causing something large to slip out and fall towards the arena below.

"Sweet mother of alchemy! Take cover!" Mustard exclaimed as he and the other Order knights, sans Dabi and Shoto, quickly ducked under the arena/table as the large object landed on the ground with a loud and heavy bang. Standing a few feet behind Power Loader was the medieval equivalent of doomsday weapon. It was a giant monstrosity of steel and wood as it had large tank treads for feet, a large wooden body with several gears moving about the collar area, it's right arm was a giant spinning yellow and blue drill with the shoulder having three small holes while the left arm had a barrel that seemed like a cannon and it's shoulder plate, which was larger than the right shoulder plate, had large spikes adorned on it. This was T.K.P.L's most destructive invention as of late. The Tinker Tank!

"By the heavens…" S.K.I said as he stared up at the giant war machine. He couldn't believe this, how was Tinker Knight able to rebuild such a large and complex machine within a short amount of time since their last encounter?!

"Bwhahahaha! What's with the surprised look?! Did you really think you'd be able to rid the world of my master piece that easily?! Well think again!" With that T.K.P.L turned towards his creation and, somehow, leapt all the up towards the steampunk mechs cockpit where he then promptly sat himself on the machines seat and began to fiddle with the controls, starting up the massive behemoth with a massive roar and the sound of shifting gears. "Ahahaha! Prepare for the end you little blue tin can, cause when I'm finished with you, you'll be nothing more than scrap!"


A majority of the audience stared at the screen with shocked expressions, (sans Bakagou), with each having their own reactions. For the majority of class 1-A and B, the sudden appearance and size of the Tinker Tank caught them off guard while members of the DekuSquad couldn't help but feel worried for the alternate Izuku. Sure it might've been made from wood and steel, but since this Izuku had nothing more than a shovel and some trinkets, they weren't sure how he'd exactly handle himself against the massive machine.

Meanwhile with the teachers, they're thoughts were more or less the same as their students, however they couldn't help but be put off by the parallel Power Loaders very maniacal behavior. In a very weird way, it almost reminded them of how a certain small mammal behaved during 1-A's final exam. Keyword being almost, because honestly, who could rival his level of crazy?

As for the support teacher himself, unlike everyone else who either had looks of surprise or disinterest on their faces, his held a look of pure terror. Why you may ask? Well, as he stared at the screen he noticed from the corner of his eye that his eccentric pink haired student was too staring at the screen with widened eyes and was practically frothing at mouth at the sight of the large steampunk tank in the screen, no doubt getting all sorts of ideas for building all kinds of machines, and he knew none of them could be good. He made a mental note to himself that as soon as they returned home, he'd book it for the support course as fast as he could and do everything in his power to lock it up tight, because God help them all if she picked up a wrench after watching everything she saw here.


[The Destroyer]

And so, the second phase of the fight began, and unfortunately for our blue clad hero, it won't be as easy as he last.

Despite its size the Tinker Tank only had two attacks, but don't let that fool you. What it lacked in versatility it made up for in power. The first attack was simply the cannon firing off two large, red, fast moving clockwork missiles that made a ear shattering explosion each time it came into contact with the arena wall. One of them was low while the other was high. S.K.I had to duck and weave between the missiles carefully while also avoiding getting crushed by the tanks moving treads. But fortunately for him though, since he had faced this monstrosity before he was somewhat used to the missiles speed, and therefore was able to use them as platforms to help him reach the spinning drill.

This is where the second attack comes in, and also the trickiest part of the fight. While keeping himself on the spinning drill, S.K.I had to use his shovel blade to knock back smaller red missiles that were fired from the holes on the right shoulder with spinning blades for the tips right back towards P.L.T.K. (A/N: Which is something you can do in the game, knock those buzzsaw missiles right back at him. Just like with mole knights fireballs.) It wasn't easy, he would admit, but it got the job done as each time a missile back he knocked back would collide with the mech, it would explode in a shower of flames, splinters, and gears.

Halfway during the fight, T.K.P.L tried to shake S.K.I off by ramming his mech full speed into the wall in front of him, but failed miserably as the blue knight simply jumped in time before the machine collided with the wall. Seeing as how that didn't work, the mechanic threw the war machine in reverse and tried to knock S.K.I off by releasing a torrent of buzzsaw missiles at him. Which would've worked…. that is if he stayed in place. But since he was reversing they all missed their mark terribly. After that, the rest of the fight resumed normally, except the missiles he would fire from cannon being replaced by bouncing red balls. Not that it would matter, because within a matter of seconds, S.K.I had dealt the finishing blow by knocking the last buzzsaw missile into the chest of the Tinker Tank, causing all the inner workings to exploded in a shower of wood and shrapnel before the entire thing to blow apart! Sending both Power Loader and all its pieces to go falling into the abyss.


"NNNNOOOO!" Mei cried out as she watched the massive and intricate steampunk machine come falling apart. Sure, the mech might not have been a very powerful or complex machine by today's modern technology, but it was still an impressive baby to her damnit!

"Your student seems very…. passionate about machine's Power Loader." Yagi said as he and the other teachers watched with raised brows at the sight of Mei beginning to cry comically large tears.

"You don't know the half of it." Power Loader said, albeit in a slightly distance voice as he seemed to have a thousand yard stare. Not because he saw his parallel self fall, but because his mind was still thinking about the different kinds of monstrosities his student would build based off the Tinker Tank. Whatever ideas she must have swimming in her head were honestly far more horrific than watching his alternate self seemingly perish.


As the remains of the Tinker Tank laid scattered across the arena while the last of the smoke cleared, Mustard lifted his head up from underneath the table. "What was that little psycho thinking?! He could've crushed one of use with that thing!"

"Je suis d'accord, for someone who says they value safety over all else, our little friend likes to throw caution to the wind whenever he plays with one of his toys. How two-faced of him." Aoyama spoke out with a slight frown before regaining his trademarked smile. "Though I must admit, Tinker Knights devices truly are quite marvelous, even if they might lack the same flair as my airships."

"And yet it failed to take out our uninvited dinner guest here. So much for it being "marvelous."" Dabi said, his monotone voice carrying a slight twinge of annoyance. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he let out a long sigh. "I spent weeks worth of my own time working hard to assemble an unstoppable order for the Enchantress, risked my life or lack thereof fighting through dozens of strongholds, and sacrificed my freedom to become the final member. I've went through so many hardships to ensure the Enchantress had an unstoppable order, and it's all going to waste because you idiots can't defeat this single buffoon playing at hero. Perhaps I should've searched harder for more competent knights."


That piece of information caught the interest of some of the crowd. Even the league found this bit of info to be interesting, not because they found this little tidbit of lore fascinating, but because they found it to be a slightly humorous coincidence. In their world, after Kamino, their Dabi had to be sent out to recruit others for their league. They just wondered if that Dabi had the same recruitment "methods" as theirs did when he found any undesirables.


"Kero. Don't put yourself on a pedestal there, worm food. In case you've forgotten, you were the second one out of all of us to get their asses handed to them by blue boy here. You're nothing special." Tsuyu croaked out as she glared at the man with patches of necrotized flesh.

"Yes, I know that." Dabi said quietly before slowly grabbing his scythe. "That's why I'm going to redeem myself here and now." As he began to slowly float off his chair and into the air, he glared down at Shovel Knight with his cold gaze. "As one of the Enchantresses minions I, Specter Knight, will do what you fools can't by finishing off this nuisance and avenge my previous defeat." Reaching into his hood, S.K.D pulled his grill plated mask down over his face before pointing his scythe down at the blue knight and raising a fist over head. "Your adventure comes to an end here. It is time for you to embark on your journey to the afterlife!"

With that, sickly green energy began to emit from Dabi's raised fist causing strands of confetti, rubble, and the remains from the Tinker Tank scattered across the arena floated into the air before they began piling together, creating a pair of floating platforms made from the debris of S.K.I's previous three fights. As the platforms formed above him though, S.K.I simply tightened his grip on his shovel blade. "You will not stop me Specter! I will reach the Enchantresses and put an end to her wicked reign!"

"You will draw your last breath!" S.K.D yelled as both he and S.K.I began their final duel.

[The Apparition]

As the fight between the living and dead began to wage on, the two knights quickly adopted their combat strategies that the audience was quickly able to pick up on the longer they watched. For S.K.I, his strategy was fairly simplistic as he quickly jumped into one of the floating platforms above himself so that he would have a better chance of attacking the necrotic villain. Everytime Dabi would get close enough, S.K.I would leap in the air to strike him with his blade and whenever S.K.D would be far away the azure knight would utilize the Flare Wand to pelt the knight with an onslaught of fireballs. However that wasn't the only relic S.K.I would be using in this fight. Whenever Dabi would get to close for an attack or launch his scythe at the heroic figure, S.K.I would pull out a gold and blue heart shaped locket from out of nowhere and activate it's magic properties, causing his body to become grey and transparent as any attacks would phase through him. The Phase Locket has been a life saver during the start of his quest, and he couldn't be more happy to find such a useful relic.

Meanwhile Dabi's combat strategy, while just as simplistic as S.K.I's, was also completely different. As he floated around the area he would either toss his scythe at a specific trajectory in an attempt to hit S.K.I from a distance. Sometimes when he launched his weapon, it would return to him like a boomerang while other times he had to teleport himself in front of the scythes path to retrieve it. Another attack of his was his Judgement Rush attack, where he would quickly fly over to where his opponent was at and would attempt to perform a quick and powerful slash. Besides those two attacks though, Dabi didn't really have much else to offer the fight until the fight was nearing its end. On his last legs, Dabi raised his fist high into the sky and, with the aid of dark magic emitting from said fist, did two things to help him even out the playing field. The first thing he did was summon three pink skeleton minions wearing lime green armor called Boneclangs into the arena, one appearing on each platform and the third bursting from the ground. The second thing he did was completely enveloping the arena in complete darkness, with the only source of light coming from the large window nearby while random bursts of lighting would break the darkness away.

However, even with the additions of these new enemies and hindrance to his vision, S.K.I was completely able to vanquish his foe, causing the darkness to fade away while the platforms broke apart and went careening into the pit below along side Dabi as the remaining Boneclangs disintegrated into nothing.


The crowd somewhat winched slightly at the scene of the villain falling down into the unknown, but they weren't as horrified as before. Once they realized this would become a thing with each opponent Izuku faced, they decided that dwelling on their fate would do them no good and chose to just talk about the fight, even if they were still uncomfortable with the end.

With the villains, Shigiraki made a somewhat crude joke about Dabi not being able to lift such a large weapon due to his frame and said the the alternate fire quirk user was also a Stain fanboy as well, considering that Specter Knight shared similar colors to the hero killer, much to Dabi's ire.

Meanwhile, a certain quirkless third year currently had his hand on his chin as he stares at the screen with intrigue. After seeing the alternate Izuku use that locket to phase from S.K.D's attacks, it reminded Mirio of his own quirk and wondered if such a thing could be possible to create with current science. Don't get him wrong, he has no problem with being Quirkless and his state has not deterred him from being a hero, it's just that ever since he lost his Quirk to that monster Overhaul, well, he has missed that familiar feeling of his Quirk activating, and he'd like to feel it once more even if it was just one last time. But if he couldn't, then he was fine with that. He's just glad he could keep it for as long as he did.


"Well, that was disappointing." Mustard said in a bored tone as he kicked his legs up and leaned back on his chair. "So much for 'redeeming' himself."

"Oui, I agree. All talk but when it came to it he had no finesse whatsoever, just swinging around his blade like a petulant fool. And because of his recklessness, we're now down to four " Aoyama said as he shook his head in a disappointed manner. "Oh well, I suppose it can't be helped now. Let's focus on who should try their hand next. Mademoiselle, médecin?"

"Mmmm." Tsuyu put a finger to her chin as she hummed in thought. "No thanks, kero. I wanna wait just a bit more."

"Me too, heehee." Mustard said. "I wanna be the last one to face him. That way he's all nice and weak for the finishing blow, hehehe."

S.K.I scowled at the plague doctor from beneath his mask, while Aoyama just looked at his two fellow knights lazily. "Oh? Well then…." Trailing off, the frenchman turned towards the only other order knight in the room. "What about you my silent ami? Care to test your might against our petite blue friend here?"

Shoto said nothing as he gave Aoyama a long stare before looking down at the almost meatless bone he held in one hand and the empty tankard mug in the other. With the only two things keeping him preoccupied gone, the viking warrior gave the Frenchman a look that said "sure" before quickly tossing the items in his possession aside and swiftly leapt onto the table with his snow shovel in hand.

"So…." S.K.I said as he eyed down the frigid teen, his visible eye not showing contempt or anger towards his foe, but rather disappointment and sadness. "This is what it has come down to, hasn't it old friend?"


That statement somewhat surprised the crowd of UA students a little. Unlike the previous interactions he had with the other order knights, this version of Izuku didn't speak with any ill-intent towards this version of Todoroki. In fact, given how he referred to him as an "old friend", these two seemed to have shared some sort of history with one another. But what kind of history, some wondered.


Shoto said nothing to S.K.I's comment. Rather, he just gave an indifferent grunt before speaking. "It's not too late to join us, you know. We could use someone of your caliber." The viking lifted his large weapon up and pointed it towards the blue knight. "I'll give you another chance. I suggest you choose wisely."

S.K.I scowled at the once proud warrior before him as he tightly gripped his own blade while taking a combative stance. "You couldn't defeat me the last time we crossed blades with one another. What makes you think that this time will be different?"

Seeing how his friend wasn't going to back down, Shoto let out a disgruntled sigh. "So be it then. This shall be our final duel."

And with that, Shoto slammed his weapon onto the ground, causing various slots in the ceiling to open up and let large clusters of snow to blanket the arena, and everyone else by extension.

Gripping his weapon tightly, S.K.I ready himself as the fated showdown between two masters of shovelry began.

[The Stalwart]

The first to attack was P.K.S who immediately sunk his weapon into the snow covered arena before digging up a massive sphere of snow and launching it towards his foe. Fortunately for our protagonist however, he was able to leap over the snow boulder and get up close to his long-time adversary, where the two would engage in a trade of shovel blades. S.K.I used his like a traditional sword while Shoto swung his around like a battle axe. The parallel Izuku received several slash marks and gashes around his armor while Shoto gained some very nasty cuts. Occasionally, S.K.I would back away from his friends close range onslaught, allowing the grey skinned warrior to dig up and launch massive piles of frost at his target, shaping the snow on the ground into spikes. Somehow? But that wasn't the only thing he would do, as sometimes, instead of trying to bury his acquaintance underneath a snow pile, he would sometimes leap into the air at a surprising height before trying to skewer S.K.I from above.

In between dodging Shoto's long range attacks and the massive swings from his shovel, S.K.I was sweating furiously despite the cold of the snow around him. Unlike his previous fights the rest of the order, fighting against P.K.S was always a hassle, and he was never too sure who would win whenever they crossed blades. Fortunately for him though, he could tell Shoto was slowly succumbing to blood loss, and knew all he needed was one devastating blow to throw him off the edge. And fortunately for him, he had just the relic.

Pulling out the War Horn, S.K.I inhaled deeply before blowing into the instrument, causing a massive burst of sound to encompass from the blue knight and blow both the surrounding snow and Shoto away, careening him and his weapon down into the pit below.


"Fuck." Jiro hissed as she gripped her ears tightly in pain. Sometimes she really hated having much more sensitive hearing.

As Jiro tried to ease the ringing in her ears while her friends consoled her, Ms. Joke saw this as a perfect opportunity to crack a pun at her favorite victi- I mean future husband. "Boy Eraser, your kid really sure did blow away Endeavors kid."

While Emi laughed at her terrible pun, Aizawa felt a fraction of his soul slowly wither away as his friend Hizashi giggled at his friend's misery.


"D-D-Damn th-that Polar K-Knight." Mustard said as he violently shivered in seat while wiping away the snow that clung to his robe. "C-Could that j-jerk have u-u-used di-dirt or s-something o-other than s-sno-w so I-I wou-wouldn't be fr-freezing here?"

"Kero, if he did then he wouldn't really be POLAR Knight now would he." Tsuyu chimed in. "Besides, maybe if you wore something underneath those robes, you wouldn't be shaking like a leaf in the wind."

(A/N: I imagine that since Treasure Knight spends his time in the deep sea while Propeller Knight spends his high in the sky, both would be warm with their clothing because I don't think the bottom of the ocean is particularly warm, unless you're close to an underwater volcano or something, and the higher one gets to the sky the colder it gets. Just wanted to throw that in there for no reason.)

"O-Oh put a sock in it, f-f-fish breath." Mustard aggressively said to the deep sea diver before addressing who would be going next.

"That would be me, mon amie!" Aoyama proclaimed as he quickly donned his helmet and gripped the handles tightly, causing the propellers to roar to life as they lifted the french man into the air before he swiftly landed on the arena floor. Grabbing the hilt of his rapier with one hand, Propeller Knight Aoyama lifted his weapon up while giving out a boisterous laugh. "Ahahaha! I hope you're ready my petite blue friend, because unlike last time, my elegant fighting style shall dazzle you to the point where you have no choice but to succumb to defeat! En garde!"

[The Spin Controller]

With the fight between two advisories of earth and air commencing, Aoyama wasted no time in showing both S.K.I and the audience that despite his personality, he was nothing to scoff at. In between the quick lunges with his blade, to flying around the arena, to even trying skewer Izuku by tossing him into the air and position his blade underneath the falling knight, P.K.A showed that he was quick on his feet and even quicker with his blade as he was able to get a few decent stabs in here or there. Unfortunately for the aerodynamic frenchman however he was not able to dodge all of S.K.I's strikes, and whenever he would try to put some distance between themselves, the blue knight would pull out a relic that resemble a yellow, short-bladed rapier with a propeller located directly where the hilt and the blade met. If Aoyama remembered correctly this relic was known as the Propeller Dagger, and he hated greatly everytime S.K.I would soar through the air and try to stab him. That was his schtick!

When he was getting close to defeat, P.K.A decided it was time to even out the playing field. So, as he flyed high into the air, Aoyama let out a high pitch whistle, causing one of the many airships in his mighty fleet to appear just outside the large window opposite of the giant pit next to the arena. The rest of the fight played out just the same, with the green Frenchman slashing at S.K.I with his saber while trying to blow him away with his propeller helmet while the blue knight tried to keep up with P.K.A. The only difference now however, was the fact that the massive airship outside was now firing steel bombs into the arena, making S.K.I's fight far more dangerous while Mustard and Tsuyu had to duck to avoid getting blasted by said bombs.

The fight was daring, what with our protagonist having to avoid Aoyama's blade and the bombs explosions, but just like with the last fights S.K.I was able to destroy the gyroscopic jesters helmet and send him careening into the pit below. Oddly enough, as P.K.A fell, a rose seemed to fly out from his coat while a stream of comical tears leaked from his eyes in a dramatic manner. The last thing to be heard before he disappeared completely was a long, overdramatic Au revoir.

With the green Frenchman defeated, S.K.I stood victorious as he caught his breath while the airship outside stopped it's bombardment and flew away from sight.


As the crowd watched the parallel Aoyama fall at the hands of defeat, a few individuals had different reactions to the fight they had seen. Some, like Toru and Mina, found P.K.A overdramatic tears from his defeat to be somewhat humorous while a few of the guys, like Sato, gave their french friend a look that said 'really dude?', to which caused Aoyama to nervously chuckle before saying, "Well, what can I say? I just have a flare for the dramatics."

While the 1-A students were busy either snickering or giving deadpan looks at their friend who has a love for being overly dramatic, Mei Hatsume had a billion thoughts running through that hectic thing she calls a mind as she thought about a million different ways she could create a baby that had a similar function to P.K.A's propeller helmet, as well as coming up with ideas for that airship she saw as well. Oh, the thought of being the first person ever to create a moving airship was practically making her giddy with excitement, as something like that would instantly put her on the map in the world of support gear. Why hasn't she thought of that before?! Oh, when she gets back home, she'll need to get to work immediately on making a baby like that!

Meanwhile, as Hatsume was thinking of ways to revolutionize the world of air travel, a certain antigravity girl couldn't help but find herself being interested in the propeller based weaponry she had seen. The thought of being able to fly through the sky has always been something she has wanted to do, and while her Quirk did allow her to reduce her weight, the only direction she could go was up. But after seeing the fight between two alternate versions of her classmates, especially how that version of Deku used some kind of propeller based weapon, she wondered if she could get something similar to help her traverse the skies. Perhaps she could ask Mei to help out after they return home.


"Jeeze, what the heck was that airhead thinking?! Those things could've killed us?!" Mustard asked as he lifted his head out from underneath the arena once the airship outside was gone.

"Kero, I guess that was him being dazzling or something equally stupid." Tsuyu replied in a disgruntled voice. "Either way it doesn't matter. We're down to just the two of us and yet our unwanted guess here is still standing."

"So he is." The plague doctor turned to his aquatic teammate. "Guess that means it's up to you now."

"I guess so. Though, are you sure you don't wanna be the one who takes a crack at him next? After all, I don't want to hear you complain to me about how I got your cloak wet or something."

"Hehehehe, oh don't worry about me. Just make sure you get him all nice and weak as possible before croaking on us, okay?" Mustard said as he pulled out a bottle from his pouch that contained a white, milky liquid. (Which was, unbeknownst to the audience, none other than a water breathing potion.)


"Booo." Ms. Joke yelled as she pointed a thumb down at the bad joke.


"Kero, don't go betting on that scrawny, because unlike those other chumps." Placing her helmet on, the piece of headwear tightly locked itself in place with a loud hiss, making the sea woman's body completely airtight. Now speaking with an echo in her voice, she continued. "I don't intend on losing today. So just sit back, relax, and watch…"

Using her grapple anchor to lift herself from her seat before slamming down onto the arena floor, causing various slots from the ceiling and walls to open up and pour out intense streams of water, quickly flooding the room in its entirety.

Before becoming submerged, S.K.I was able to take a deep breath in just as the waves rushed past his head. But he knew he wouldn't be able to hold it for long, so he needed to hurry.

Once the arena was completely filled with pure aqua, Tsuyu pointed her weapon at her opponent before finishing her earlier sentence. "... As I send this landlubber to the depths of Davy Jones locker!"

[The Bounty Hunter]

Much like her quirked counterpart, T.K.T was quite mobile when it came to underwater combat. Though, unlike our Tsuyu, who used her frog-like reflexes to move around, this one used her grapple anchor to pull herself across the arena at high speeds, causing S.K.I to try and either avoid being struck by the fast moving anchor or colliding against T.K.T's body.

When she wasn't trying to crush him with her anchor or slam into him with intense force, Tsuyu would often fire Caltrops from her grapple anchor, which were small, spikey weapons that were encased in bubbles, allowing them to float in an arc. These weapons dealt decent damage, but we're easy to avoid, which is why T.K.T only fired these weapons when either A, S.K.I was close enough to not be able to dodge in time, or B, when she used her Suction Chest weapon. When in use, this weapon would create a vacuum where both S.K.I and her Caltrops would be pulled in. With these two weapons combined, it was difficult for S.K.I to avoid either being sucked into the chest or being struck by a stray Caltrop. And if he got in the chest, he was easy pickings for Tsuyu's grapple anchor.

Though, throughout the fight, Tsuyu wasn't just limited to staying on the ground. Thanks to her suit, she would often swim to the top of the arena, where she would either try to crush S.K.I with her anchor whenever she was directly above him or perform her most damaging and hard to avoid attack, the Ground Slam. An attack where she would slam her body against the floor, with enough force to create a huge rippling wave that traveled all the way to the arena walls.

The fight with the green haired bounty hunter of the deep was challenging for the blue knight, but with the help of the Throwing Anchor relic, and his sheer will to get the fight over with quickly, S.K.I was able to eventually defeat the amphibious knight and send her careening into the pit below. And with her defeat, the water inside the chamber drained out, allowing S.K.I to quickly catch his breath.


While Tsuyu silently sulked at her defeat as her friends tried cheering her up, some of the U.A students found it impressive that the parallel Midoryia was able to hold his breath for such a long time, while fighting a formidable opponent at the same time. In fact, the greenette himself wondered if he could pull off such a feat himself. He'll have to practice once he gets back to U.A.

"Looks like Midoriya has one more for left." Itsuka said as she stared at the screen, or more specifically, at the hooded plague doctor who was currently wringing water from his cloak.

"Yeah. And it's against that jackass from the training camp." Tetsutetsu said bitterly as he, more or less, glared at the screen. Both he and Itsuka still remember the gas mask wearing middle schooler from the training camp incident, and they weren't particularly fond of the boy, especially Tetsutetsu, which is understandable. After all, you would be too if you were shot at multiple times.

'I hope greeny breaks his teeth in with that shovel.' Tetsutetsu thought to himself. He knew it wasn't manly to have those types of thoughts, but since this punk attacked him and his friends, he couldn't care less.

Meanwhile, said punk was staring at the screen with intrigue as he wondered how his counterpart would fare against the hero course student. Hopefully, he doesn't go out like a chump, he thought.


"And then there was one." Mustard said to himself as he finished wringing out his robes before quickly exploding into a cloud of smoke, only to reappear directly in front of S.K.I via the same method.

"Boom! Hehehehe!" Mustard snickered as he twirled his cane about. "Oh Shovel Knight, you have no idea how long I've waited for this moment since our confrontation back in my Exploditorium. Hehehe, I gotta repay you for when you whacked me in the back of the head when I had my back turned! Hehe, not very honorable if you ask me!" Mustards voice practically dripped with venom at that last bit, though it didn't intimidate S.K.I in the slightest. Rather, he just glared hatefully at the plague doctor before pointing his shovel at him.

"You! What have you done with my essence?! I know it was you who took it in the night, so where is it?!" S.K.I said hatefully as he continued to point his weapon at the mad doctor, threatening to strike him down unless he told him what he wanted.


Some of the crowd raised an eyebrow in confusion at what they heard, especially Izuku and Mustard. What did he mean by 'essence', they wondered? Those who knew the meaning of the word wondered if the parallel Izuku was referring to something like his blood, or more frightening, a part of his soul.


"Hehehehe, I wouldn't worry your pretty little blue head about that. I already put it to good use." Mustard snickered from beneath his mask. "Though now that you mentioned it, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some more of it."

"Keep your vile, disease ridden hands to yourself you wretched cur! You shan't be taking anymore of what doesn't belong to you!"

"Hehehehe, oh Shovel Knight. Who said anything about needing your permission?!" The cunning plauge doctor readied his staff and explosives, causing S.K.I to do the same. "I'll just take it like I did last time!"

[The Vital Vitriol]

The final fight with the last order knight was certainly…. hectic, to say the least.

Unlike the previous knights, who had some sort of strategy or pattern, P.K.M was just a hectic mess as he just either threw or lobbed his bombs around in a sporadic manner while jumping around the battlefield erratically, never staying in one place for to long and always making sure to stay out of arms, or in this case shovels, reach away from S.K.I. Combined with his ability to teleport as well, it made it much more difficult for S.K.I to land any hits in, forcing him to utilize every relic he had in his arsenal to give the plague doctor some damage. Including two never before seen relics known as the Chaos Sphere, a bouncing orb of acid, and the Alchemy Coin, a large gold coin that traveled along the ground.

On the very rare occasions that Mustard did stay in one place, he would summon large glass vats filled with a mysterious purple substance that, if hit with one of Mustard's bombs, would explode into a violet burst of flames. And believe me when I say, they burned like hell.

The fight, for the most part, was pretty much one sided. S.K.I was pelted by bomb after bomb, chipping and cracking his armor in all places with some pieces actually breaking off. It looked like he was actually about to lose to the mad plague doctor quite frankly. However, S.K.I would be damned if this was how he was gonna fall here! He had come too far and went through too much to just fall to some spindly little twit who used cheap tricks to get by. So, with all the strength and stamina he had left, he pushed his way through the explosive force of P.K.M and fought with everything he had until he finished off the doctor with a solid slash of his shovel blade, sending the plague doctor careening into the pit, and thus ending the last of the Order Of No Quarter.


"Yay! You did Mr. Deku!" Eri cheered happily at the sight of her hero defeating the last of the evil knights. Especially Mustard, given how his mask was triggering some rather, let's say, unpleasant memories.

She wasn't the only one who was happy with the parallel greenettes victory though, as Izuku's closest friends, family, and some students from 1-A and even 1-B couldn't help but give him some praise. Though, besides Eri, the person who was most glad for Midoryia was Tetsutetsu, who was extremely happy to see the person who shot him multiple times get their asses handed to them, even if they were from an alternate dimension. The rest of the crowd was, for the most part, indifferent to the whole thing, not really caring about the greenettes victory. However, two people were actually displeased with the knightly Izuku's latest win, those two being the actual Mustard and one Katsuki Bakugou.

"Yeah, hurrah." The gas mask wearing villain said sarcastically to Eric's cheer as he glared at the screen from behind his WW2 gas mask. He suppose he should've seen this coming to be honest. After all, if the last seven fights ended the same way before, what was gonna make his any special? He really shouldn't feel bitter about his alternate self's defeat, but that was kinda easier said than done. Maybe the feeling will go away, he thought, and besides it wasn't all too bad. The sight of himself throwing around chemical explosives with great agility did give him some ideas for revenge against two certain hero course students he despises greatly. Perhaps if he ever gets out of juvie, he'll take up acrobatics in the near future.

As for Bakugou, he's upset at the fact that, well, Izuku was getting praise. Especially over something that his other self did, and even if Deku's other self was here he still wouldn't be deserving of the praise. In his mind, the greenette was only worthy of mockery and ridicule, and anything other than that really grinded the blonde's gears. Hopefully he can leave this godforsaken hellhole soon so he did not have to watch any more versions of the useless nerd.

(Can you tell I really don't like Bakugou yet?)


"I did it." S.K.I said with a heavy pant as he knelt in the center of the arena with both hands on his trusty shovel, using the weapon as support to keep him from collapsing from exhaustion. With a few more heavy breathes the blue knight slowly, but surely, lifted himself onto both feet before standing triumphantly.

"With the Order vanquished at last, nothing is standing in between me and the Enchantress now. Finally, my month's long journey is coming to an end." The blue knight looked around the room for an exit. "I just need to find a way into her inner sanctum. Question is though, how? There appears to be no exit aside from the one I came through. How did the others get in here before?"

As if on cue, while S.K.I was looking for a way out of the enclosed arena, the right stone wall rumbled before quickly sliding open, providing the blue knight a path out.

S.K.I was surprised by the suddenness of the wall opening up, but that quickly subsided as he realized it was probably that witches doing. She was probably watching the whole time and was now beckoning him to come deeper inside the tower. Guess that witch wants to end this once and for all as well. So be it, he thought as he gripped his shovel tightly before running off towards the path. It was time to end this evil once and for all.

However, as he was halfway near entering the entrance, he stopped when he heard the sound of rustling chains coming from behind. Turning around, S.K.I saw that the winch device next to the edge of the pit was pulling something up on its own, causing the blue knight to become cautious. Was this yet another challenge he must endure before facing the Enchantress?


As the winch continued to pull up it's cargo, several people in the crowd had varying reactions. Students from both 1A and B were murmuring amongst one another in confusion, wondering what could be coming up, while some people like Ochaco and Inko hoped it wasn't anything dangerous towards the alternate Izuku. The rest of the cast was curious as well, however they kept to themselves for the most part as they watched the screen.


The winch suddenly stopped just before whatever was attached to the chain could reach the top. At first S.K.I was confused as to why the device suddenly stopped and was about to question what was going on but before he could even speak a faint sound coming from the pit had caught his attention. It sounded like…. was that grunting?


Everyone quirked a brow at this, wondering where this could be leading?


Walking over to the edge before slowly craning his head downwards, S.K.I's eyes widened when he saw what was down below.


"Holy crap." Mina said with a shocked expression as her and her equally shocked classmates couldn't believe what they were seeing. "It's-."


'The Order?!' S.K.I thought, finishing the pink girls sentence.

And he wasn't kidding either. Hanging directly beneath him with a strained expression as he gripped the chain tightly was none other the the Order Of No Quarters "King", Monoma, while the rest of the evil knighthood hung off the blondes cape, each member desperately clinging on to one another for dear life so that none of them would fall into the pit below.


"Have they all just been hanging there the entire time?!" Awase asked, finding the thought of clinging to a chain for dear life for so long bizarre. He doesn't think he could do that without welding himself to the chain.

"Guess so." Setsuna said, finding the scenario insane herself. "Though I'm more surprised that Monoma was able to hold on for so long while other people were hanging on. Either that armor he's wearing has some kinda strength magic, or the others are as light as feathers?"

"Hey!" Monoma said, slightly feeling offended. "Who says that my other self isn't using his own natural strength? After all, it wouldn't be too surprising, considering that I do possess an admirable amount of strength."

"Monoma, you scored last place on the Quirk apprehension test." Setsuna said flatly. "Heck, by the time we were half way done you were already winded. And all we did was the grip strength tests, ball throw, sidesteps, and the fifty meter dash. Trust me when I say you are not strong in any sense of the word."

Monoma's eyes flashed with hurt at the girl's harsh words. "Hey!"


Upon noticing the blue knight staring down at them, Momona locked eyes with him and gave him his best, desperate smile. "G-Give us a hand here Shovel Knight! You wouldn't leave us to hang here!"

S.K.I said nothing in return. Rather, he just continued to stare down at the golden knight as he placed his Shovel Blade on the winch. His visible eye narrowed in concentrated thought as he weighed his options in his mind as he watched the false king barely cling to the chain.

Upon noticing S.K.I's cold, calculative gaze the blonde felt his desperation and fear grow quickly with each passing moment. "W-Would you?"

Again, S.K.I continued to say nothing. Instead he turned his gaze over to the tip of his weapon that rested atop the chain wrapped around the wooden winch. With just enough pressure, he thought, he could easily slice the chain and send Monoma and the rest of The Order plummeting towards an unknown fate, and why shouldn't he? After all, these eight knights had single handedly caused chaos across the land, destroying dozens of villages and ruining countless lives in the process. And all for what? Materials to create some blasted potion? All the forgotten wealth at the bottom of the sea? To rule over a kingdom that wasn't theirs?

Perhaps he should sever the chain. After all, wouldn't that be the right thing to do?


As S.K.I continued to contemplate what he should do, several of the U.A students and some staff began to feel uneasy by the parallel Midoryia's cold stare and silence while the villains were simply curious to what he would do.

"Hey guys, you don't think Midoryia's gonna….?" Denki trailer off, however he didn't need to finish his sentence. His friends, as well as everyone else, were all thinking the same he was thinking.

"I-I'm not sure bro." Kirishima replied in a worried tone.


S.K.I hummed in thought as he twisted the tip of his weapon against the chain. He could make sure none of these corrupt knights would ever bother anyone ever again. All he needed was to apply a little weight and, snap, the Order Of No Quarter becomes nothing more than a distant memory. A part of him told him that he should do it, to avenge all those that had suffered at the hands of these foul monsters, and that it was probably the right thing to do.

However, even though something within him told him to just end these monsters here and now, he knew that the heroic and noble part of him wouldn't allow him to live with doing such a thing. If he were to send these knights tumbling down into an unknown fate, he'd be no better than the villainous knights themselves.

So, pushing down the vengeful thoughts, S.K.I took his blade off the chain and knelt down to help pull the knight's up.


The U.A students and staff, as well as Inko and Izuku, felt a great deal of relief as they watched S.K.I help the Order back up onto the arena while some of the villains felt disappointed by the turn of events.


After finishing helping the last knight, Mustard, up onto the arena, S.K.I took a look around the room to make sure none of the other knights were planning on pulling off a sneak attack.

Fortunately, that was not the case, as the Order Of No Quarter were all sprawled out, resting their aching bodies and trying to recover their lost stamina. Monoma, who was on his hands and knees, was busy mourning both his second defeat and lost ill-gotten gains while Kirishima was mumbling to himself about how the blue knight had a much more superior digging technique. Strangely, Aoyama was the only one in the room sporting a smile, and was saying to himself about how he had never felt so invigorated before, and was questioning if all of S.K.I's adventures were this uplifting.

Seeing that the knights were no longer a threat, the blue knight decided it was finally time to face the Enchantress , and so he headed for the exit. However, before he could reach the threshold, he was stopped by a voice from behind.

"You still intend to go through with this ridiculous farce?" S.K.I turned around and was met with the figures of both Dabi and Shoto standing behind him. The former standing with his arms crossed. "The Enchantress cannot be stopped by any mere mortal. What makes you so certain you'll stand a chance?"

S.K.I did not answer immediately. Rather, he pondered for a brief moment before answering. "I'm not sure, but I must do this. I've come too far to just turn away now. I won't stop until I see this journey through to the very end."

That answer displeased Dabi somewhat. "Then do as you must, doomed hero." And with that, he turned and walked away, leaving behind Shoto.

"I meant what I said. You should still join us."

S.K.I just sighed and shook his head at the arctic knights words. "Until we meet again, old friend."

Turning away from the alabaster haired boy, S.K.I walked further into the Tower Of Fate. After so long, his journey was finally reaching it's crescendo. As he walked through the hall, he wondered. Will he succeed in finally putting an end to this nightmare at last?

Or will his life simply be snuffed out by the power of the Enchantress?


So what do you all think? I know the fight scenes and the character's reactions might've sucked, but I tried my best. Writing about videogames isn't exactly easy for me.

I really hope this was worth the very, very, very long wait. I didn't mean for it to take this long to write the chapter. It's just that I've been busy with other things like my other stories or real life stuff like finding work or a good college.

If you like the chapter though, please feel free to leave a comment, or review, as it helps me know I'm doing something right. If you didn't like the chapter though, that's alright.

P.S: I fucking hate my phones Auto Correct system and small screen. If there are any spelling errors I missed, I apologise. I do much better with a keyboard.
