MHA/SVTFOE - Chapter 3: Origins Part 3
[You're the Mortal the Devil Warned Us About]
(Izuku looked into the eye of one of humanity's greatest plights. A Fear Devil. A type of Devil that has been plaguing humanity since the 1600's, feeding off their fear and causing hundreds to thousands of deaths. They were warmongers, demons, monsters, killers, disgusting and revolting creatures in every single sense or way which made Izuku sick to his stomach just thinking about it.
And his deadbeat dad just had to move to a country infested with them as the son of the most infamous hunter of all things supernatural and satanic.
For fuck's sake, dad.
Izuku tried calling on Alucard but before he could, the Devil attacked him, constricting him with his tentacles and shoving one of them down his throat, slowly choking him. Izuku wished that he hadn't told Alucard to fuck off just moments ago but he did and now it was too late to call him back.
Memories of his grandmother crossed Izuku's mind and he began feeling really stupid for not taking her on her offer to get trained in the usage of Hamon. Since it was used to take on creatures of the night, he would at least be able to burn the Devil long enough to escape and make a run for it.
Izuku thought that by his real name being concealed – Sir Izuku Dracul Victoria Hellsing – He would be safe from Devils but he supposed that just not having a constant target on your back doesn't mean that they won't attack you. Japan is a fucking free for all at the end of the day.
And this particular Devil just got lucky.)
Devil: "You might be wondering if you were specifically targeted. Here is your answer. Yes. You are the mortal Lucifer warned about. If we let you live, you'll help bring down our race and Lucifer would be more than happy to sit back and watch it happen. Ever since he started associating with those kids from that accursed town in Colorado, he's gone soft and I don't plan to see what happens when he's given the tools to end me and my brothers. Goodbye, future symbol of hope."
(What the hell?
What's all this talk of Lucifer and the downfall of his race? And why was he involved? That's a dumb question, it's obviously because he's the future head of the Hellsing Organization, it kind of figures that he would be at least partially involved in the downfall of the Fear Devils but what was this about being a future symbol of hope? It made no sense, if anything, he expected to be a silent protector who worked in the shadows, sitting in a chair and monitoring Alucard from his office, smoking a cigar. Not exactly a symbol of hope, as much as he wished that he could be.
As he was being choked, his Pokéballs fell out of his pockets but they didn't hit the buttons unfortunately, meaning that none of Izuku's Pokémon could save him. He really was about to die all alone.)
Izuku: *In his mind* "I can't break free from his tentacles. I can't breathe. My body… There's no strength… I'm dying… Am I dying? I'm dying… Somebody… Somebody…! No…!"
(Right as he was thinking that, a manhole cover flew at the devil, causing Izuku to fall out of the grasp of the devil. Izuku immediately grasped for air, quickly grabbing his Pokéballs off the ground. He ran towards the direction of his savior as he let out his Pokémon in order to ensure their safety.
It was only after releasing his Infernape, Machamp, Hitmonlee, Togedemaru, Lucario and Eevee, that he actually noticed the man who saved him.
His muscular figure, his golden hair, his magnificent smile. Even his Pokémon stared in disbelief at the man before them. It was him, the symbol of peace.
All Might.)

[Meet the Family]
(Star and Maria had just arrived at the Diaz household and Maria was about to let her in but before she did that, she turned directly towards Star with a threatening aura surrounding her, creeping the princess out.)
Maria: "Listen princess, I have a weird family. Half of my siblings are adopted, most of us have some sort of trauma and I can pretty much bet that you've already earned Marco's ire which isn't good for you because he's pretty much the only nice person in the house so you shut the fuck up while I introduce you because I already know you're gonna fuck this up. Understand?"
(Star did not like the implication that she was stupid or that Maria was bossing her around but Maria was really terrifying so she went along with it. When she entered the house, Maria took her to the backyard. Star was confused at first but realized quickly why.
There in the backyard were a group of teenagers working out. They had all sorts of fitness machines and weights and such all around the place and nearby was a Bluetooth loudspeaker blasting that one song by Lil Nas that's been making the rounds.)
Nugget: "Industry Baby."
(Oh yeah, you break the fourth wall. Anyway, the various teens continued to train whilst jamming to the song because that song be banging. Maria, while seemingly enjoying the music herself too, proceeded to scream at her siblings.)
Maria: "Get your asses over here, we have a new housemate!"
(The siblings proceeded to drop everything and turn of the speaker and line up in front of Star and Maria.)
Maria: "Alright everybody, this is Star. Star, let me introduce you."
(The first sibling Maria went to introduce, a sister, Star could tell that she and Maria were actually blood related because they looked like two drops of water. Same face, same mole, same complexion, the whole shebang. She had knee-length dark brown hair and was slightly shorter than her sister although she seemingly had a bit of a stockier build to her. She wore a dark blue top with a purple jacket over it, a light blue skirt which reached to her knees, a pair of purple sunglasses and bandages wrapped around her wrists and thighs as if she had sparred with somebody.
Most noticeable however was the grey spots which were covering her arms and her fangs which she seemingly tried to hide to no avail. As if she on some subconscious level felt ashamed of them.)
Maria: "This darling here is Mariposa Diaz. She, me and Marco are triplets. Please do not comment on the fact that she drinks blood that's just her Quirk."
(She said whilst giving her sister a sideways hug which Mariposa returned as they pushed their cheeks up against each other. While Mariposa had a large smile on her face, Maria kept her general scowl the whole time.)
Mariposa: "Hey girl, nice to meet you! That dress looks so good on you, I want to wear it!"
Star: "Aw, thank you! I love your style too!"
Maria: "Yup, you two are gonna get along."
(Next up was perhaps the most depressed looking teenager ever. She was a Japanese girl who was fairly tall, about Maria's height, with a very pale complexion and long, straight, ginger hair. She wore a long-sleeved white collared shirt and a pair of blue jeans. She was frowning and she had a permanent thousand yard stare to her, as if she had seen death in front of her own eyes. She had bags under her eyes from lack of sleep which contrasted badly with her pale complexion and made her stare especially terrifying. She leaned on her left leg with her head tilted and hands behind her back as if she was examining Star.
It seemingly looked like whenever nobody was looking that her hair moved in spirals… Infinitely spiraling…)
Maria: "This depressed girl is Kirie Goshima. She was the first to be adopted. Please ignore all the weird stuff she can do involving spirals."
Kirie: *Monotone voice* "Welcome Star. Welcome to the madness. I'm Kirie, carrier of Uzumaki, the Spiral Curse."
(Wait.
Kirie hasn't opened her mouth.
How did Star hear her voice?)
Kirie: "I'd like to tell you how I did that but it's very convoluted so not right now, I want to take a nap after this."
Maria: "Already torturing our new girl, huh Kirie?"
Kirie: "Yes, and I will continue to do such."
Maria: "Please do. Alright, next sibling."
(The next sibling, another sister, seemed to have a bit of an edge to her. She was an American girl who was slightly shorter than Maria, about Star's height, with clear skin and strawberry blonde hair. She wore a plain, white button up shirt and a red skirt which reached until just above her knees. For reasons which Star could not comprehend, she was wearing multiple belts at once around her waist and upper body, seemingly just a fashion statement more than anything. Her right sleeve was rolled up, showing off her tattoo displaying the words Bible verse 1 Samuel 15:3. Just look it up and you'll get why.
The girl was floating in mid-air with her legs crossed whilst she was also holding a notepad and a pen.)
Maria: "This wannabe philosopher is Carrie White. If you have any questions about earth, go to her. I guarantee her answers will be the most disturbing."
Carrie: "I'd like to tell you she's lying but she's not."
Star: "I'm gonna regret asking this but what are those words on your right arm?"
Carrie: "Oh this is a permanent ink marking on my skin called a tattoo. Usually when people get them, it has some sort of great cultural or personal importance to them. These words specifically reference a verse out of the holy book of the Christian religion. You see, my mother was a Christian extremist and she abused me over the littlest "sins" and yet in her very holy book, her God tells his followers to kill men, women, children and infants. I tattooed this on my right arm to always remind myself that even the people who claim to be the purest can hold evil in their heart and I need to be careful with my convictions."
(Wow, that was a lot.)
Star: "Well, that's pretty cool! You got any others?"
Carrie: "I got another one above my genitalia of famous comic book character 'The Thing' with a text bubble that reads "It's slobbering time!". That one speaks for itself."
Star: "…"
Carrie: "…"
Star: "… So…"
Maria: "I'm just gonna introduce you to the next sibling."
Star: "Yeah, do that."
(The next sibling was the boy from earlier, Nugget, who seemed to have found his way back rather easily. Seeing her now, Star noticed a lot about Nugget's appearance more closely. While he was seemingly quite tall, he carried himself with a hunchback, causing him to appear way shorter than he actually was. His sweater was clearly oversized as the sleeves completely covered his hands and arms. He had sandy blonde hair which was very messy, fitting because he seemingly was not aware of his surroundings. His eyes looked blank with no color to them and despite his oblivious smile, Star had not noticed just how goddamn big his fangs were.
He looked like a mentally disabled carnivore.
Also, he was carrying a shovel on his shoulder. Which was dripping a purple liquid.
Wait.
Did he kill that butterfly monster?)
Maria: "This retard here is James De La Fleur but he prefers Nugget. You have already met him, yes?"
Star: *Awkward laugh* "… Yeah."
Nugget: "Don't worry, butterfly girl. Nugget holds no hatred in his heart."
Star: "Well… That's good!"
Nugget: "Nugget supposes so."
(The final sibling Maria went to introduce, another boy… Might be even more intimidating than her. He was an American boy who stood just a bit taller than Maria, maybe as tall as Marco. He had dark blonde hair and Star could've sworn that for a moment he was literally seeing red… Before switching to blue and giving her a smile that felt extremely fake. He had on an orange hoodie and blue jeans, a fairly simple outfit which didn't draw much attention.
So why did he give off such a menacing vibe? He seemed like a nice guy and he was clearly trying to be.)
Maria: "This little psycho is Mile."
(Oh.
Now Star remembered.
Mile's smile vanished instantly and he as silently as an owl flying through the night's sky creeped up behind his sister as if he was about to commit a crime.)
Maria: "Don't let the fake smile or pleasantries fool you. He's just looking to get something from you. And yes, I know he's creeping up behind me. Now Mile, don't do anything you'll regret like when you looked at a yandere and whipped out the dick. Now you gon' have yandere children, is that something you want?"
(Mile in the most disrespectful manner ever completely avoided eye contact with Maria who clearly was trying to have a conversation with him. It wasn't the weirdest thing ever but he seemed to genuinely avoid having to see Maria like he'd be turned to stone if he did. It was a little unnerving.)
Mile: *New York accent that puts Benny Sharp to shame* "All right, you back off Jack the Ripper fangirl. I know what I'm doin', you feel? I ain't just any guy, I'm Mile Blackburn, wherever I go, I be the most dangerous guy in the room, Ayano ain't got nothin' on me."
Maria: "Don't let Yandere-Chan hear that."
Mile: "Bitch, if she hears you call her Yandere-Chan again, I'm gon' be left like an octopus with post-nut clarity, slowly degrading at the bottom of an unpleasant place until I either die of an involuntary hunger strike or somebody hits me with a one way trip to my ancestors."
Maria: "… You know too much about the animal kingdom."
Mile: "And you know too much about Jack the Ripper."
(Star was just confused at this point. What the hell's a yandere, what's an octopus, what's post-nut clarity, who is Jack the Ripper and why would this Mile willingly subject himself to a relationship with a woman like that?)
Nugget: "Nugget suggests you do mini-chapters where Carrie just answers Star's questions about earth."
(That could work.)
Mariposa: "Honey, you've got to stop talking to invisible narrators. This isn't some crappy fanfiction."
(Isn't it?)
[I Have One Question]
(Izuku could still not believe he had come face to face with the great All Might himself. He had so many questions. After having rescued him, Izuku had ordered his Infernape to deliver a Mach Punch in unison with All Might's Texas Smash.)
All Might: "That's quite the Pokémon partner you got there! I can tell you've trained it well! Good job…"
Izuku: "Midoriya! Izuku Midoriya!"
(Izuku said whilst bowing in respect.)
All Might: "Well, Young Midoriya, color me impressed! You were a real help, that Devil won't be bothering folks for a good long while!"
Izuku: "These Fear Devils don't really like my family so honestly, they'll probably just send somebody else in to kill me."
All Might: "Ah, I see, related to Devil Hunters! No worries, your secret's safe with me! As long as I'm around, they won't be bothering you anymore! Also, Chainsaw Man, he's kind of the main member of the Hero Association who deals with Devils. Nice kid but I question his motivation to say the least."
Izuku: "Oh, right! An a-autograph! Where should I-"
(Izuku grabbed his notebook in order to have All Might sign it but to his great surprise, when he opened it, All Might had already signed it. He proceeded to bow profusely.)
Izuku: "He already did! Th-Thank you very much! It'll be an heirloom! A family treasure!"
All Might: "Okay! Well, I'll be heading off now! See you again on the other side of the screen!"
Izuku: "Wait, already?"
(All Might was preparing to take off, much to Izuku's dismay who still had so much to ask. Izuku had to know if he had a chance, a shot to actually be a hero. Even if it was the tiniest of chances. If he could be told by All Might, the number one, that he had a chance, that would finally prove that all the years of suffering were worth it.
Furthermore, this wasn't just for his own sake. His best friend Marco had expressed multiple times to him that his only desire was to prove to his sister that he was not a failure, a desire that was pointless to pursue since Maria was the kind of person who would never be impressed with Marco's success. All Might's opinion wasn't just a saving grace for Izuku's sanity but also Marco's self-worth and dignity.
No, this couldn't be it. Izuku was gonna get his answers at all costs.)
All Might: "Well then, I'm counting on your continued support!"
(As All Might said this, he sprung up into the air, blasting off to places unknown… Only to realize shortly thereafter that the green-haired menace was holding onto his leg for dear life.)
All Might: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Let go of me! Your fanaticism is too much!"
Izuku: "If I… Let go now… I'll… I'll die… !"
All Might: "That's true."
Izuku: "I… Have… A lot of things… I want to ask you directly!"
All Might: "Okay, okay! I get it, so close your eyes and mouth!"
(Izuku opted to do what All Might told him to do. As for All Might himself, a little blood flowed from between his blinding smile.
Shit.
After landing on a nearby building, Izuku was catching his breath, still in shock about the whole situation and dangling on the leg of the number one fucking hero in the air. That said, at least Izuku would get the opportunity to ask his questions to All Might.
If not for him, for Marco's sake.)
Izuku: "Th-that was scary…"
All Might: "Good grief. If you talk to the people downstairs, I'm sure they'll let you down. I seriously am out of time, so I really must go."
Izuku: "Wait! Um…"
(Izuku reached his hand out as he said this, hoping to convince All Might to stay just a bit longer.)
All Might: "No! I will not wait!"
Izuku: "But-"
(As Izuku pulled his hand back, his mind was flooded with memories of everything he has been told about his dream.
You should probably give it up.
I'm sorry, Izuku! I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
What the hell can you do? You're Quirkless!)
Izuku: *To himself* "That might be true… But even so, I…"
(Except it, fate wasn't in our favor!)
Izuku: "Even if I don't have a Quirk, can I become a hero?"
(That question made All Might stop in his tracks. It had been ages since he had even thought about such a thing.)
Izuku: "Can even someone without a Quirk be like you?"
[Bender of Life Itself]
(God fucking damnit.
All that goddamn searching.
All that just to be told that Nugget had found his way home himself without any help.
Served him right for being overly protective of his siblings.
Marco had arrived home a couple minutes ago to find Star was conversing with his siblings on the couch. A movie was playing on tv, Mariposa seemed to get along great with Star, Mile was kind of doing his own thing, tinkering with a drone, generally speaking, it seemed pretty normal.
Marco didn't like it.
Knowing his luck, something was going to ruin it for him because for some reason, Fate and Lady Luck both hate him, decided to team up, gang assault him, and dared him to do something about it.
Challenge accepted.)
Marco: "Hey, I'm back. Thank you for making me waste an hour of my life looking for Nugget when he was already home. How considerate."
Carrie: "Quit complaining and sit down."
(Marco, annoyed as is, listened to his younger sister and sat down on the couch in-between Star and Nugget. Star felt really bad for Marco. He clearly was very annoyed about all the time wasted and nobody was comforting him.)
Mariposa: "Come on big brother, at least you're home now. You want a hug?"
Marco: "Mari, I stopped wanting physical contact years ago. It's too late for that."
Kirie: "Could you be anymore dramatic?"
(Something about that sentence set Marco off. Maybe it was because that was ironic coming from Kirie or perhaps just because he was pissed off, but he didn't feel like just shrugging his shoulders and letting it go like usual.)
Marco: "Oh, I know that the girl who named herself after her curse ain't talking!"
The rest of the siblings: "Oof!"
Marco: "Your sense of humor is more deceased than your parents! It was taking care of you little shitheads what made me like this!"
Maria: "Shit!"
Marco: "So don't think that because you can turn me into a snail that I'm scared of you!"
Kirie: "I. Fucking. Hate. You."
(That was painful to watch.)
Kirie: "Star, if I try to turn Marco into a snail, do be a dear and use your magic to turn him back. Can you do that?"
Star: "Well, that depends on how powerful your curse is."
(Yeah, this is gonna have a bad turn. Marco got off the couch, wanting to avoid Star doing anything bad to him by accident.)
Kirie: "How powerful is your magic then?"
Star: "My wand could accidentally destroy an universe if I'm not careful."
Kirie: "… What the fuck? Who would give a 14 year old that kind of power?"
Star: "My mom apparently."
Kirie: "So what else can you do with that wand?"
Star: "Maybe I could try to gaze your power."
(Here it comes.
Star grabbed her wand and aimed it at Kirie. The wand began to glow for a couple seconds… Before a spider with a top hat came out of the wand and stated that Kirie's power could level cities and continued rising. Putting the weirdness of the situation aside, that both terrified and excited Kirie, the prospect of a constantly rising power level.)
Spider with a Top Hat: "Hey, little thing, that boy over there in the red hoodie, why is his power level so ridiculously high?"
(At that remark, the room was filled with silence. Marco was very aware of his complete lack of power. He was intelligent, sure, and if it came to pure skill, he was sure he could take on a couple of his siblings in a hand-to-hand fight but he can't be all that powerful from just a little bit of karate.
His siblings were just as confused at the statement. It was especially surprising that the spider felt the need to point out Marco specifically. Is he blatantly ignoring the rest of them because they weren't as notable?
Maria, however, did not let her surprise stifle her bitchy behavior.)
Maria: "The genetic failure? The powerless loser? I think you got it wrong bud."
Spider: "… No, I feel a really high power level? Does he hide his powers or something?"
Marco: "Wait, could you please do a deeper analysis or is that not an option?"
Star: "Maybe I can do something!"
(No.
No, no, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, DOOOOOONNNNNNN-)
Star: "Sit still."
(Star aimed her wand at Marco who in surprise of the situation did not physically move but did resist.)
Marco: "Star, please don-"
(But before he could finish, Star shot a beam at Marco, causing a flash of light that blinded the occupants of the room. That wasn't the surprising thing. When the light cleared up, Marco stood there with glowing eyes.
Glowing eyes.
He then shot blasts of fire and air out of his hands, showing some sort of weird mastery over these elements. It was for a short instance and soon after, his eyes stopped glowing but whereas Star looked excited and clapped for the performance, his siblings all simultaneously looked like they saw a ghost.
Well, except for Nugget, that guy doesn't know what's going on ever.)
Marco: "… D-Did I just… You all saw that too right? I'm not just losing it right?"
Maria: "… What the hell just happened?"
(Marco didn't even answer, he went straight to the front door and walked out to places unknown.)
Maria: "Goddamnit princess, go get Marco."
Star: "What? Did I do something wrong?"
Maria: "Give him powers he didn't ask for? Yeah, I don't think you quite understand what all that was about girl, now go get him."
(Star was confused. Marco mentioned earlier that people hate on him for being powerless and remedied that. What's the issue? Putting that aside, Star decided to go after Marco.
Marco himself… Didn't know what to think. He just out of nowhere got glowing eyes and made fire blooms and shit appear out of his hands. Like a Bender. But those had died out nearly 70 years ago during World War 2 when the Nazis attacked the Four Nations and Republic City. As far as everybody knew, the nations had gone into hiding and that was the last anybody had ever heard of Benders.
Either way, if he was the Avatar, that meant that the responsibility of keeping balance, whatever that meant, was in his hands. A responsibility he didn't ask for, given by what is the equivalent of a spiritual parasite leeching of his soul.
Marco wasn't ready for this.
Meanwhile, a frog-like creature was spying on the whole situation from a distance, sinisterly laughing to itself before disappearing back into the bushes.)
