Prelude's To The Past

CLANG

The sound of metal clashing rang in the air.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

Izuku and Yamato were locked in serious combat. Izuku had cuts all over his body, he had fought his father to a standstill but fighting with the Yamato was something else. Izuku had expected the sword to utilized his father's darkslayer style but he was caught off guard when he saw something entirely different.

He did recognise that some of the movement were indeed his father's style but it combined with another style that made the blade an impenetrable wall.

Izuku went for an overhead slash but Yamato dodged it and cut Izuku in the stomach before swinging its sword down with a force that blew Izuku back causing him to groan as he got up.

"Damn what the hell" Izuku said as he pushed himself up.

"Is this all you can do?" Yamato said as it looked at Izuku.

"No, I'm not done yet" Izuku said as he was panting heavily as he clutched his bleeding stomach.

"Then show me what you're capable off, show me that you are worthy of my power" Yamato said be it ran at Izuku who got up quickly to dodge its strike.

Izuku then jumped back and sheathed the pseudo Yamato he was using( decided to do it like this, how else is he going to fight the sword) and took the quick draw stance which amused Yamato. Izuku then drew the blade fast and sent a slash at it but Yamato blocked it easily before looking at him.

"Only one slash, I was expecting a lot more. Hmm at least your making progress but let me show you how its done" Yamato said as it took the same stance and did the same thing Izuku did but it was a lot faster.

Before Izuku could react he was hit with multiple slashes that made him bleed more as he screamed silently before he fell face first on the ground. 'That move! it was the same as dad's only this time I didn't see the blade' Izuku thought as he looked up to Yamato.

"You see you still have a small problem when fight" Yamato said as it walked towards Izuku. "And that is you think too much when wielding me and that holds you back" Yamato said as it stood near him.

'I think too much when wielding it?' Izuku thought to himself.

"Today's lesson is over, think about what I said. Now be gone" Yamato said before it spun around fast and sent a slash that sent Izuku flying as all he saw was White.

IN THE REAL WORLD

Vergil and Dante sat patiently as they watched what was happening to Izuku, cut appeared all over his body which told them that he was having a hard time against the Yamato and it had been five hours since he began.

"Damn the sword is really ruffing him up" Dante said.

"I can see that. It wasn't easy for me when I faced it and it was that fight that helped me perfect my style" Vergil said as he looked at his son.

"So how do you think the others are doing?" Dante asked.

"well if I had to guess, I would say that they are trying to figure out how to move it" Vergil said.

"Yeah, I wonder what their reaction was when they saw what we asked them to bring back" Dante said as he smiled.

"They would be in for a surprise. I've been meaning ask how did you get those guys to work for you?" Vergil asked.

"Now that's a great story. You see it all started with-" Dante was about to say when the sword began to glow. They both looked at it and began moving near Izuku.

"You think he did it?" Dante asked but before Vergil could answer the sword sent a pulse that blasted Izuku sending him flying into a tree.

"I'll say no" Vergil said as Izuku grunted in pain.

"Uh, what the hell! Why am I in so much pain?" Izuku asked as he sat up. "And why do I look like a scratching post?" Izuku asked.

"Oh I forgot to mention that whatever injury you receive in there also happens to you out here" Vergil said.

"Great... just great. If you excuse me I'm going to lie down" Izuku said as he passed out.

TWO HOURS LATER

Dante and Vergil had gotten out of the waterfall carrying Izuku who was injured by the Yamato and went back to the HQ where they had Kyrie heal him. He woke up an hour later wrapped in bandages as he made his way to the lunch room and saw Dante and Vergil along with his classmates looking completely exhausted and covered in bruises.

"What happened to you guys?" Izuku asked in an amused tone as he saw most of them with ice packs on their faces.

"We don't want to talk about it" Shoto said as he made ice to his jaw.

"What happened to you?" Kirishima asked as he pointed to his bandages.

"I got turned into a scratching post by that sword and you?" Izuku asked.

"We faced the embodiment of evil" Kaminari said as he was shivering as Dante and Vergil walked in with class 1B and the other teachers.

"What happened to you guys?" Itsuka asked as they sat around the table.

"Yeah, we ran into a problem" Ochako said as she rubbed her face.

"It was a monster" Mineta said as he shook in fear.

"What happened was" Sero said.

FLASHBACK

The students of class 1A were walking through the forest to find the item they were suppose to bring back. So far they hadn't encountered any demons yet which was good thing for some of them.

"Seriously, how far is it?" Kaminari asked.

"We're close, so stop complaining" Momo said as they continued.

When they arrived at the location they saw a big stone lantern which was guarded by some scarecrow demons. They all prepared to fight when the demons noticed them.

"Okay, so how do we do this?" Kirishima asked.

"Let's split them up and take them down" Ochako said as she pulled out her weapon.

They all nodded before they did acted and split up the demons for easy killing. It took a few minutes but they had killed all of them and now they were gathered around the lantern to figure out how to move it.

"Okay I got an idea" Momo said gaining everyone's attention. "Here's what we do, Ochako uses her quirk to make it weightless then we have Kirishima, Sato and Shoji pull it while the rest of us defend them just in case we are attacked" Momo explained.

"That's not a bad idea" Kyoka said as the others agreed.

Ochako made the lantern weightless while Sero tied his tape around it so the others could pull it without any complications. It had been a few minutes since they started moving the lantern and they noticed how quiet it was.

"Its quiet out here" Kaminari said.

"Yeah, a little too quiet" Mineta said as he looked around.

SNAP

"Did you guys hear that" Kyoka said as they stopped a bit and looked around.

"Here what?" Kaminari asked.

"I heard something just now. I think we're being followed" Kyoka said.

"Whatever it is I'll just blast it to hell" Katsuki said as he looked around before he saw something run in front of him. "Over there" Katsuki said as he charged at the figure ignoring the calls of his classmates.

"Seriously that hothead" Ochako said as they heard explosions.

"GET BACK HERE AND DIE!" Katsuki yelled as he chased the creature.

The creature finally ran out before the rest of the class saw it was kangaroo wearing boxing gloves. As soon as they saw what it was they began yelling at Katsuki to stop before Shoto created an ice barrier to stop him.

"Get out of my way icy hot" Katsuki said before Shoto stood in front of him.

"If you would just stop and listen you'll see that all you're doing is chasing a scared animal" Shoto said as Katsuki looked and saw the kangaroo behind the ice before he calmed down(or his version of calm).

"Bakubro you scared him" Kirishima said as he walked up to the kangaroo.

"I'm surprised, I never expected a kangaroo would be in a forest like this" Momo said as she looked at the kangaroo.

"Yeah with all the demons in the forest how is it here?" Mina asked.

"And are those boxing gloves ribbit?" Asui asked.

"Hey there little guy now don't be afraid, we won't hurt yo-" Kirishima was saying before he got sucker punched by the kangaroo sending him flying through a tree.

Everyone looked at the kangaroo with wide eyes as they saw it had knocked out Kirishima. And that was when things went down hill for class 1A.

FLASHBACK END

"You guys ran into punchy" Izuku looked at his classmates with wide eyes as he started sweating a bit.

"Now that's just bad luck" Dante said.

"Serious bad luck" Izuku said as he touched his face.

"You know that thing Nero?" Ochako asked.

"Yeah it's kind of a long story" Izuku said.

"Spill it" Ochako said causing Izuku to sigh.

"We first met punchy two years ago after we took down the previous leader of this place and had just recruited Nico" Izuku said.

"Hold on two years ago but you told the host of that show that you started hunting a year ago which is when your uncle released your name. Did you lie to that host?" Tenya asked.

"Yes I totally did" Izuku said with a very straight face.

"Why?" Tenya asked.

"Look you guys all saw how that interview went and I didn't exactly want my mom and my dumbass uncle getting in trouble for child endangerment" Izuku said as he remembered the interview he did with the host.

FLASHBACK TWO DAYS AFTER THE FESTIVAL

it had been a very noisy two days for Izuku and his family. The revelation of him being Nero along with the appearance of his father had been the talk of the media. They had been trying to get statements from his family and friends but were unlucky with that, normally Dante suggested they just wait until the press calmed down but that changed when Endeavor(hot pants) did an interview saying his uncle was irresponsible for allowing a kid do what he did, that jackass further went on to say that Dante and his mother should be charged with child endangerment. Now that the gauntlet was thrown there was no going back, which leads to their current predicament as they were on live TV with the whole world watching.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome and thanks for tuning in to the show. Today we have three special guest here with me today, you know them they have been the talk of the media for the past two days now. So I would like you to welcome the number three hero Redgrave, the man whose name we didn't know until he was introduced as Darkslayer and the winner of the sports festival and the one who was identified as a famously hunter Izuku Midoriya also known as Nero the devil bringer" The host said as the audience began to clap as all three walked out wearing suits.

"Gentlemen welcome to the show" The host greeted as he shook their hands.

"Thanks for having us" Dante said as they sat down.

"There has been a lot of talk going around for the past two days now and I am glad that we can finally clear the air that hot pants decided to blow" Izuku said as he smiled.

"Alright, now as you know the whole world is tuned in for this interview and I'll start with the obvious question that's on everyone's mind. Who are you people?" The host asked.

"Mr host I think everyone knows who I am already and who he is already" Dante said as he pointed to himself and Izuku.

"Yes they know who you are, as a hero but they don't know your story. In fact you, your agency and your family are a complete mystery and I think it time for the people to know your story" The host said as the three of they looked at each other before the nodded a bit.

"Okay, we'll tell our story" Izuku said.

"Now as everyone knows demons appeared a few years back and that was when I decided to start out as a hero but to me that was just another day. My family has been fighting them for generations,even before quirks became a thing so it's nothing new to us" Dante said as he looked at the host.

"Really, so you're saying you come from a long line of demon hunters?" The host asked.

"Yes, the story of our ancestor happened over two thousand years ago when he help seal the gate of the underworld the home of demons" Vergil said.

"Yeah, they still hate us for that" Dante said.

"So I'm assuming your father and mother taught you everything you know" The host asked causing Dante and Vergil to flinch.

"Our parents taught us everything they knew when we were kids" Dante said as he frowned.

"If I may ask where are they now?" The host asked.

"They're dead" Vergil said as he frowned.

"Oh I apologize if I brought up some bad memories" The host said.

"No its okay, we came here to tell our story after all" Dante said as he took a deep breath.

"As my brother said our family is not liked by the demons. They did everything they could to end our bloodline after so many years of trying they almost succeeded" Vergil said.

"Our mother didn't make it and our father was badly wounded, he died a few years later" Dante said.

"I see and how old were you when it happened?" The host asked.

"We were seven when our mother died and fourteen when our father passed" Dante answered.

"Okay let's get to another reason you are here, the world was shocked to find out that this man beside you is your brother and the father to Izuku Midoriya. So how is it that you have stayed out of the public eyes for so long, Mr Vergil?" The host asked.

"I tend to not draw attention to myself unlike my brother who likes to show off" Vergil said.

"Since when do I show off?" Dante asked.

"Like almost all the time uncle D" Izuku said.

"Everybody is a critic now" Dante murmured.

"Let's just cut it short. They're twin as you can tell but their personality is completely different. My father is serious and my uncle is a goofball. its basically that classic brother scenario" Izuku said.

"Wow, that's all I am to you? a goofball. Seriously no respect, like father like son after all. He gets all that sass from you" Dante said.

"Now let's get to the main reason you are here. After the festival Endeavor went on interview saying how irresponsible you are for getting a child involved in demon hunting and some of them agreed with him" The host said causing Izuku to scoff.

"Sir with all due respect to Endeavor and the critics, all I can say is... that they can kiss my ass" Izuku said as the host widened his eyes.

"Endeavor, he's just pissed that I beat his son at the sports festival and that my uncle has kicked his ass after he found out some certain things about him but that's not important. I came here to tell all the haters and all the critics that they can fuck off, if you have a problem with what I do then that's just your problem, I don't answer to anyone of you jackasses out there and before you throw a bitch fit remember that only those who have been trained and shown that they can handle facing demons are given a license and I proved that. So go ahead and keep bitching its not my problem" Izuku said before he got up and walked off the set.

"Yep definitely gets all that sass from you brother" Dante said as he smiled.

"A little bit of that is mine, the rest is all his mother. A woman after my own heart.

FLASHBACK END

"Anyways, punchy was possessed by a Mongolian fist devil, we managed to get it out of him but its energy stayed with him so now he's a devil enhanced kangaroo" Izuku said as they looked at him like he was crazy.

"And you brought it here and didn't even warn us about it!" Kaminari exclaimed.

"Well it was a fifty fifty chance you'd run into him" Izuku said.

"On the bright side now you know to run whenever you see him" Dante said causing them to groan.

"Who got hit first?" Izuku asked in an amused tone as they all pointed at Kirishima. "Sucks to be you bro" Izuku said as he smiled.

"Well everyone get some rest tomorrow we pick off from where we left off" Dante said as he was about to leave.

"Wait hold on a minute. We've been wondering who they are exactly" Mono asked as she pointed at the interns.

"Yeah you said they worked for you but how come no one knows who they are?" Mina asked.

"Because they like it that way and they have other reasons but its not my story to tell. All I can tell you is that they have been through a lot, but only they can tell you" Dante said as he walked away.

"Just get some rest guys, you're going to need it for tomorrow" Izuku said as he, Vergil and the interns leftbefore the others followed suit. After all this was just the first day of boot camp.
