Chapter 16
Aftermath: Truth Revealed
Izuku was at home lying down on his bed as he was reflecting on what happened at the USJ. After the attack ended he was looked at by Recovery Girl and Kyrie who checked on everyone for injuries. The police came and arrested the ones that were knocked out and collected the statement from the students. His mind also went to Aizawa and Thirteen who were recovering in the hospital due to their wounds from the fight and his final thought went to today.
He told his teachers and classmates that he would tell them the truth in two days and that day had come. He had asked that his mother along with Trish, Lady, Nico and Kyrie be present as well. Izuku got up from his bed and got dressed in a black polo shirt and green shorts as he got out of his room to go to UA where they were already waiting for him. He drove to the school and ran into All Might who was waiting for him as they headed to the conference room they began to talk.
"Young Midoriya, it's good to see you, how are you doing?" All Might asked in his skinny form.
"I'm good All Might, I still can't believe all that happened" Izuku said.
"Yes me too. You'll explain everything once we're there, your mother and friends have already arrived" All Might said.
"I know, looks like it's time I told the truth. I was wondering when this was going to happen and now it's here" Izuku said.
"Will you be telling them the whole truth including your... ancestry?" All Might asked.
"I wasn't planning on it but something tells me that I have to. I don't want them finding out from other sources who'd paint me in a bad light" Izuku said.
"Alright, I know nothing will change when you tell them. When are you planning on telling your fellow classmates?" All Might asked.
"Soon" Izuku said as All Might nodded.
"Alright here we are, let's go in" All Might said as they went into the room.
UA CONFERENCE ROOM
In the room Izuku saw the rest of the teachers. There was Vlad King, Snipe, Recovery Girl, Hound dog, Present Mic, Power Loader, Ectoplasm, and Cementos. All the teachers were there except Aizawa and Thirteen who were still recovering from injury. He saw his mother along with Trish, Lady, Nico and Kyrie and he also saw a man wearing a brown jacket.
"Izuku, I'm glad you were able to come" Nezu greeted his student as he began the meeting.
Izuku stood in front of the rectangular table, everyone eyes on him. Izuku though did not look scared, instead he looked at all the teachers determinedly.
"I would also like to thank you for what you did, you protected the students and defeated something that was made to kill All Might, I thank you for that" Nezu said as he bowed a bit to Izuku.
"Don't mention it, I did was I supposed to do, it's no big deal. Also who's he, I know everyone here but not him" Izuku said pointing at the man.
"Ah, Young Midoriya, this is my trusted friend Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi, he's going to be here listening to what you have to say" All Might said.
"The fact that he's here when you're like this means he knows about your condition" Izuku said to All Might who nodded.
"Before we begin, I would like to know how the kid knows about your weakness All Might, the only ones who know are the staff and some government officials, so how did he find out?" Snipe asked.
"Well... it was kind of an accident" Izuku said as scratched his head sheepishly.
"I met young Midoriya a few months ago, he was attacked by that sludge villain and he took it down just when I arrived and put it in a bottle. He then asked me to sign one of his books that he uses to take notes on quirks and as I was about to leave he grabbed onto me when I was airborne" All Might said as Izuku looked away.
"Wow... what a fanboy" Present Mic whispered.
"Anyways, when I landed I had run out of time and turned back when he was about to ask me a question" All Might said.
"Yep, that certainly made my day. Now onto the real reason I'm here, you want to know how I knew All Blight was a demon and my familiar Griffon" Izuku said as everyone's expression changed.
"It's a long story but we have time. Now allow me to officially introduced myself, my name is Izuku Nero Midoriya but to the rest of the world I'm known as Nero The Devil Breaker" Izuku said as everyone's eyes widened in surprise as he introduced himself.
Izuku looked around and saw their surprise and smiled a bit. "Now I know you have questions so ask away" Izuku said before Present Mic stood up.
"You really expect us to believe that you are the second most greatest demon hunter" he said as Izuku looked at him and then looked around and saw not everyone believed his claim.
"From the looks you're giving me, I can tell you don't believe me so I'll have to prove it" Izuku said as he got up. "Now the media has been unable to see what I look like but they have given the description of the sword I carry. Can anyone tell me that exact description?" Izuku asked.
"According to the reports, its a German Grobes Messer that has a motorcycle like handle. They said it also ignites when he twists the handle" said Detective Naomasa.
"Exactly" Izuku said as the tattoo on his back glowed as the sword came out surprising them. Izuku then stabs the sword on the ground and starts revving it as it began to ignite a bit before he stopped. "So I hope this answer your question, if you want more proof you can ask All Might, he can vouch for me and if you don't believe that you can ask those two" Izuku said as he pointed to Lady and Trish.
"He's telling the truth, after all he called me to inform me what was happening in Redgrave city when that tree appeared" All Might said.
The teachers looked stunned as they looked Izuku who smirked a bit. "Now some of you are wondering, why we let him work with DMC and you're probably thinking along the lines of its child endangerment but in all honesty there is no law on how old you have to be to be a hunter" Lady said.
"Yes, now the world didn't know about demons until that attack in New York, Redgrave has been fighting them since he was about the same age as Izuku, the same can be said about other hunters they start training themselves at young age to prepare for what the underworld throws at them, which is why we prepared Izuku to face them as well, after all it's in his blood" Trish said as the teachers looked at Izuku.
"What do you mean by its in his blood?" Midnight asked as Izuku took a deep breath.
"Listen, what I'm about to tell you mustn't leave this room, you can tell Aizawa sensei when he's better and I'll tell my classmates but that's it" Izuku said as his face became serious. "11 years ago when I was boy, me and my mom were walking through the park one night where we were attacked by a demon" Izuku said as the teachers eyes widened in shock along with All Might, Kyrie and Nico who didn't know this.
"It was a terrifying experience for me and her, we tried to get away but it was too fast for us to outrun, we would have died that day if it wasn't for my powers awakening when I saw it about to kill her" Izuku said as he remembered the power coursing through his body.
"You got your quirk at age 5, people awaken theirs at 4 what happened to you?" Power Loader asked.
"At age 4 I was diagnosed quirkless" Izuku said shocking everyone present who didn't know. "The doctors told me I would never have one because I had an extra joint in my toe, after I found out people started treating me different, like I was cursed, it wasn't easy for me but the one who stood by me and still believed in me was my mom" Izuku said causing All Might to sympathize with him as he remembered that he too was quirkless.
"When I killed it a lot changed for me that day, it lead me to discovering the origins of my family" Izuku said as he was about to continue his mother decided to take it from there.
"A year after Izuku was born his father left, he told me that it was to protect us, but before he did he left me instructions on who to call if we ever needed help and that number belonged to his brother Dante who is now known as Redgrave" Inko said surprising everyone before they began to look at Izuku and saw the resemblance between them.
"How the hell didn't we notice this, he looks like him and he has the same hair color as him" Midnight said.
"Yeah, people don't notice because I didn't want to stand out a lot and I told him not to tell anyone of our relationship" Izuku said.
"So we have the nephew of the world best demon hunter Redgrave and he turns out to be the second best demon hunter next to Redgrave, that's why she said it's in your blood" Present Mic said.
"So, is your father also a demon hunter?" Cementos asked.
"Well... he's a bit complicated but yeah" Izuku answered as he remembered his fathers history that was told to him by Dante.
"How strong is he?" Vlad King asked.
"He and my uncle are even in terms of everything" Izuku said as the others eyes widened.
The teachers knew how powerful Dante was seeing that he took down Endeavour without much effort in the fight they had a while back, the fact that there was someone who was equal to him that isn't a registered hero was surprising to them.
"You mentioned your family origin, are you saying you come from a long line of demon hunters?" Snipe asked.
"Before I get into that, I would like to know if any of you have heard about the legend of Sparda" Izuku said as everyone got quite. "I'll take you silence as a no, okay let me tell you" Izuku said before he was interrupted.
"What does this have to do with you?" Nezu asked.
"I'm getting to that principal Nezu. Now about 2000 years ago there was a war between the underworld and the human world. The underworld was relentless in their plans to conquer and enslave humanity but when all hope seemed to be lost, humanity gained an unlikely ally which came in the form of the devil Sparda, he was held as the greatest warrior in the underworld, his skills and power were unmatched even by the ruler of the underworld Mundus. He took up arms against his own kind and fought for humanity" Izuku said as everyone who was there was interested in the story.
"He faced the hordes of the underworld and won, after that he sealed the gates of underworld with the help of a priestess and he sealed away Mundus on an island very far away from civilization called Mallet island but at the cost of his powers. Sparda then became the protector of humanity, he was given the title of the legendary dark knight as he battled evil" Izuku said as he looked at his teachers.
"Wow, this guy must have been all kinds of powerful if he faced the entire underworld and won" Snipe said in awe.
"He was, anyways 2000 years later Sparda met a woman and settled down, that woman was my grandmother Eva" Izuku said as everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"Are you saying that you're-" Midnight said but was interrupted when All Might put up his hand to tell her to let him finish.
"She later gave birth to twins, my father Vergil and my uncle Dante, the sons of Sparda" Izuku said.
"You're part demon?!" Present Mic exclaimed as Izuku nodded.
"Devil, I'm part devil" Izuku said.
"What's the difference?" Power Loader asked.
"It's simple, demons are the grunts while the devils are their superiors. They show high intelligence and are often cruel and sadistic towards humans" Izuku said.
"So, you're the grandson of Sparda?" Midnight asked.
"Yes, the other demons and devils don't take kind to us because of my grandfather, so in other words they hate our guts with fiery passion" Izuku said.
"Excuse me, while we are all surprised at the situation I would like it if he finished his story" Nezu said.
"7 years after she gave birth they were attacked by demons which led to the death of my grandmother and my grandfather being gravely wounded as he fought them off" Izuku said sadly.
"The one who sent the demons was the Devil king Mundus as he realized that the seal my grandfather placed was weakening but my grandfather survived the attack along with his sons. It was on that day that they swore vengeance against the one responsible, my grandfather trained them for 7 years before he finally passed from the wounds he sustained that day and after that they began their quest to avenge our family" Izuku said as he finished he didn't want to tell them about the personal history between his father and his uncle.
"That's a lot to take in" Cementos said as everyone else agreed.
"Look, I know you're all still surprised at what I just told you so I'll just let you all decide how you want to proceed from here on out. Now if you excuse me I have my classmates to tell as well" Izuku said as he got up and left the room.
"You know I've seen that look a lot in my time and I'm seeing it again in most of your eyes after what he just told you" Lady said gaining the teachers attention.
"What look is that?" Ectoplasm asked.
"That's simple, it's fear" Trish said as some of them flinched at what she said.
"They're right, I see it now and I can tell you're afraid of him now, but he told you all that despite knowing how'd you all react and I have to say that's there's nothing to fear from him" All Might said.
"All Might how can you be so calm, he just told us that he's part devil, and here you are not freaking out and no offense miss Midoriya but seriously how could you fall for someone who half devil?" Present Mic said as he stood up.
"Mic, I'm calm because I already knew about him" All Might said as the other teachers looked at him. "When he told me his story I looked at him and I was surprised at first but then I realized that his family has been fighting against creatures that can threaten the entire human race. It was there and then that I realized that heroism is in his blood. His grandfather fought his own kind to protect humanity, his sons followed in his footsteps and now he is doing the same thing" All Might said as the others looked away.
"His family may have the blood of a devil flowing their veins but to me they have the blood of a hero in them as well" All Might said.
"All Izuku ever wanted in his life was to be a hero like All Might, the kind that saves people with a smile on his face, so before you judge him, you should think about everything he's done so far and tell me if he doesn't deserve to be one" Inko said as she got up and left followed by Nico, Kyrie, Lady and Trish.
"I'll say this from I've seen so far he embodies what it means to be a hero and I will stand beside him even if none of you will because of he is" All Might said and walked out of the room followed by Naomasa.
The teachers stayed in silence for a while before Nezu spoke. "Now All Might is right about the boy, from what I've seen so far he doesn't pose a threat to us and he never will. The boy has done everything to prove that he's on our side and judging him because we now know he's part devil is the same as judging those who look others said weren't fit to be heros because of their appearance or quirks being villainous" Nezu said.
"Personally I think he a great kid and he's going to be a great hero so what if he not all human most people's quirks affect their body and makes them look like monsters but it's their actions that define who they really are" Midnight said.
"I know that and yes I'm a little bit afraid of him but it's just that I'm trying to process all this" Vlad king said.
"Yes, there has never been a situation like this in UA history at all" Cementos said.
"That is true, I guess that means that times are changing, we are in the age where the impossible can become possible, where things of myth have become reality and it our job to prepare the next generation for what's to come" Nezu said.
"We owe him and his family an apology for our hesitance today" Power Loader said as the others agreed.
"Good, we have to prepare the students, I feel something on the horizon and they will need each other when the time comes" Nezu said.
DAGOBA BEACH AT NIGHT
Izuku was staring at the ocean as he waited for his classmates to arrive he got their contact info and told them to meet him at the beach. Izuku was also a bit sad that some of his teachers were afraid of him but he knew the result of telling them and that was it. He couldn't blame them for being afraid, after all demons and devil have done nothing but kill and destroy anyone that stood in their way without remorse so he could fault them for that, he just hoped that they got over it soon.
"Nero" a voice called out to him as he turned around he saw Ochako walking towards him.
"Hey Ochako, thanks for coming" Izuku said as she smiled.
"No problem, I just want you to know that no matter how this turns out I'll be with you every step of the way" Ochako said.
"Thanks, I'm just a bit nervous on how they're going to react to what I'm going to tell them" Izuku said.
"Don't worry about it" Ochako said.
Both of them were talking as they noticed the others began to arrive, the last to show up was Katsuki and Shoto.
"Well, it looks like everyone is here, I really appreciate that you showed up" Izuku said.
"It's no problem for us Midoriya" Kirishima said.
"Now I know you have questions, that's why I asked you to come today so I can get it of my chest, all I'm asking is that you don't interrupt me for what I'm about to tell you and you can't tell anyone about it as well" Izuku said as they looked to each other before they agreed.
"Alright Izuku we'll do that" Tenya said.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
Izuku has finished telling them the same thing he told the teachers about his family, what he was and who he was and he could see that they were all speechless after he was done.
"So hold on you're saying that the legendary Sparda is you grandfather?" Kaminari said in shock.
"And that Redgrave is your uncle" Mineta said as well.
"And that you're the famous Nero the devil breaker" Mina said.
"And that you're part devil" Kirishima said.
"Yes, look I know you're trying to process all this and-" Izuku said but was interrupted by Tenya.
"Listen here Izuku, I know the reason you were hesitant to tell us was the fact the you thought we wouldn't accept you but I speak for everyone here when we say that we don't care about that" Tenya said surprising Izuku.
"Yeah bro, we don't care if you're part devil, you're still the same guy, who fought to protect us from that villain at the USJ" Kaminari said.
"He right dude, your the same guy we chose to be our class rep and the guy we sit next to at lunch and laugh with, you being a devil won't change the fact that you are our friend" Kirishima said as everyone nodded in agreement.
"They're right, you came to UA because you have the same goal as us and that's to be a hero and help people nothing is going or change that" Momo said as Izuku smiled.
"Thank you all for that, I'm grateful to be able to call you guys my friends" Izuku said.
"Hey Bakugou, what do you think about all this?" Sero asked as everyone looked at him.
"I don't care if he's a demon, angel or an alien, he's still the same guy who's ass I'm going to kick" Katsuki said as everyone smiled at his response.
"And you Todoroki, what about you?" Sato asked.
"It doesn't matter what he is, if I start judging him about it I'm no better that those who judge others based on how villainous they look, so it doesn't matter to me at all" Shoto said causing Izuku to smile.
"Thanks a lot I'm really glad to have met people like you" Izuku said.
"So dude, since you're part devil, does the mean you can take on the appearance of a devil" Kyoka asked.
"Yes I can" Izuku answered.
"So can we see it please" Kirishima said as everyone voiced their agreement with him.
"Okay fine, just promise me one thing" Izuku said.
"What's that?" Tokoyami asked.
"Don't freak out" Izuku said as his eyes glowed as his body was engulfed in blue light.
ELSEWHERE
Tomura Shigaraki was pissed that he failed with his assault on UA student and that his goal of killing All Might didn't even happen as All Blight was taken out by that boy.
"Are you still upset about what happened Tomura Shigaraki" Kurogiri asked.
"Of course I'm upset, I'm not just upset I'm furious that the plan didn't work" Tomura said before a man appeared from a seal glowing on the floor.
"I heard you failed in your attack Tomura" the man said as he stepped out of the seal.
"You... what are you doing here?" Tomura asked as he was trying to keep his anger in check.
"Oh me... I came to see how you're doing, I mean is it so hard to believe that I actually care for your safety" the man said in mock concern.
"If you're here to mock me then leave before I turn you to dust" Tomura said as he got up and faced him.
"I would like to see you try boy, you'd be dead before you even move" the man said as he grinned maniacally.
As Tomura was about to make a move he was cut short when a voice came from the tv in the room.
"Enough" a commanding voice came from the screen that caught their attention.
"Master" Tomura said as he looked at the screen.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't rile up my student, after all it was you and your associates that assured us that the demonic enhanced Nomu would perform its task, so the failure also goes towards you as well" the voice said.
"That's also why I'm here, to find out how it was defeated" the man said.
"Tomura, please share what happened at UA" the voice said.
"We did everything according to plan, but when we arrived All Might was even there, so I told Kurogiri to separate the kids so the grunts could pick them off but that didn't work, I had to use All Blight early to deal with the pro hero that was Eraser Head and he was nearly killed until... He showed up" Tomura said with venom.
"Who, All Might?" the man asked.
"No... it was this boy who arrived and went toe to toe with All Blight even when it transformed it was no match for him" Tomura said.
"Can you describe him?" The voice said.
"Yes, he has white hair with green highlights and green eyes, when he fought his body was covered with a blue aura that felt the same as All Blight and green lightning danced around his body" Tomura said.
"Anything else?" The man asked.
"When he fought with All Blight he used a gauntlet that had white lines on it as well as boot with the same design. All I heard was when he said Beowulf" Tomura said as the mans eyes widen a bit.
"Thank you, that would be all Tomura. You can go and rest now, I which to speak with him alone" the voice said as Tomura and Kurogiri nodded and left the room.
"You know who the boy is don't you?" The voice asked.
"Yes, when he said Beowulf, it was then it hit me. In history there is only one creature that had that name and it was sealed in the Teminengru by Sparda" the man said.
"So this boy could be related to this Sparda?" The voice asked.
"Yes, it seems that Beowulf has been turned into a devil arm and if the boy is aware of his devil heritage, it means that the Nomu wasn't simply enough to deal with him" the man said.
"I see, I hope you can do something about him soon, if left alone he could pose a threat to Tomura" the voice said.
"Don't worry, if he does we will deal with him you have my word All For One" the man said as he disappeared in the seal that he arrived in.
ELSEWHERE
"I still can believe what I'm seeing" a man said as he was looking at a city.
"Me too, I been in the underworld world for a while but I never saw this" said another man.
"Who would have thought that the devils would become so civilized, never saw that coming Vergil" the man said.
"Me too Dante" Vergil said.
Both brothers were still in the underworld after cutting the roots and sealing the rift to the underworld. They both traveled the underworld world looking for a nexus point to leave but in their search for it they stumbled upon something surprising.
They found a city filled with devils and these ones looked human. The city was beautiful(think of Asgard on avengers), at first they thought they would be welcomed with hostility but to their surprise they were seeing as they thought all devils and demons wanted their head because of their father. Right now they were waiting to talk to the man in charge, the new king of the underworld.
"He will see you now" a woman said gaining their attention.
The two brothers walked into the room and saw a man sitting on a chair the man had white hair and red eyes, he was slightly muscular( thinks of sirzechs in dxd with those features).
"Ah... the sons of Sparda, it's an honor to finally me you, I've heard so much about you exploits" the man said.
"You must be the king of the underworld then" Dante said as the man nodded.
"Yes, where are my manners, my name is Vali Noctis then new king of the underworld" then now named Vali introduced himself. "Please take a sit so we can discuss some things" he said as he motioned for them to sit.
"Now the thought going through your mind must be what the hell happened here and why are we acting so civil" Vali said as the two of them nodded.
"You see not everyone shared the same view that we should rule over the humans some like your father saw the wrong things we were doing under the name of Mundus, but after your father sealed away Mundus there was a power vacuum that needed to be filled, some wanted warmongers who hated humanity to rule and others suggested that they could leave peaceful with the humans and leave them to their own vices" Vali said as he told them the story.
"With the devils divided on their views on how things should be war broke out as both sides fought for a thousand years until it finally ended and you can tell who won" Vali said.
"So how did you become the king then?" Dante asked.
"There is a rule in the underworld. He who is the strongest shall rule, and after the war that was my father" Vali said.
"He didn't rule with an iron fist like Mundus did, and he led our kind into a new age and as you can see not all Devils here look like the ones you've faced" Vali said.
"Yeah most of them are just walking monstrosity so I'm a bit surprised that they don't look like that but I can still feel their auras" Dante said.
"It's simple Dante, after so many years, they evolved like how humanity evolved to have quirks, am right" Vergil said.
"Yes you are and it's all thanks to your father that this was possible. It was his actions that showed us how to be truly strong" Vali said.
"He always told us that when you fight for something other then yourself you become stronger and from what I'm seeing he was right" Dante said with a smile.
"Wise words, Sparda isn't hated here anymore... well unless you count the old faction" Vali said.
"Old faction?" Vergil asked.
"Yes, I did say a war happened what was left of the ones who wanted to take after Mundus became known as the old faction, those are the ones that still maintain their less civil appearance" Vali said.
"That explains a lot" Dante said.
"Now we thank you for receiving us, but we really must be going now" Vergil said.
"Yeah you wouldn't happen to know a way out of here do you?" Dante asked.
"Of course I'll tell them to prepare a portal for you but first I need to inform you of something" Vali said.
"What's that?" Dante asked.
"I'm sure by now you've felt that something big is going on" Vali asked as they nodded.
"Let me ask you have you heard the legends of the Dark clan" Vali asked.
"No, we haven't" Vergil said.
"Well then I recommend you listen to what I'm about to tell you" Vali said seriously as Vergil and Dante looked at each other.
ELSEWHERE
The man that had just finished talking with All For One appeared in a forest and walked into a building in the middle of it.
"Hello I'm back" the man said.
"What took you so long asshole?" Another voice that belonged to another man said.
"I had a meeting with scar face apparently the demonic enhanced Nomu was defeated by a boy and from his description I think he's a defendant of Sparda" the man said.
"Hm... back in the days we were the most feared Devils of them all and now since we were free all I hear about is Sparda" the other one said.
"Yes... it seems they wiped all traces of us from history what a shame, wouldn't you agree brother" the man said.
"Yes I do" the other one said.
"Don't worry we'll show them our might in time" another voice said belonging to another man.
"Ah... Astarot where have you been" the man asked.
"I've been looking into the humans, some things I asked you to do Kokabiel" Astarot said to the man now known as Kokabiel.
"And what did you find?" Asked the other one.
"They have evolved. The humans are no longer the cowardly welps we once ruled over. They stand tall now but in time we will bring them back to what they once were, and the only way to do that is to break their spirit Zeldris" Astarot said.
"I look forward to that brother, indeed I do" Zeldris said.
"So how do we handle the sons of Sparda?" Kokabiel asked.
"Don't worry once we finish the palace they won't stand a chance against us" Astarot said as he grinned sinisterly.
