My name is Izuku Midoriya. When I was a kid, I discovered I was Quirkless. But my dream had always been to be a Hero, so I refused to give up. I was ridiculed, pitied, despised…

One day, I got the chance to meet the greatest of them. All Might, the Symbol of Peace. In awe, I asked him if I could become a Hero as well. He said no. I cried that day. I cried so much. In the end, I found myself standing on the edge of a bridge. If even All Might thought I was hopeless, why even try? What was left for me but a life of crushed dreams? They were all right, I would never be anything more than a footnote in other's lives.

But that was when I met my master. All for One was his name, and he was searching for a successor. He saved my life and told me that what All Might had done was wrong. He enlightened me. He showed me the all the failures of the Heroes and of the world I lived in. He showed me how I wasn't the only victim of this world that only values power.

And I promised to change the world. To get rid of all Heroes, no matter the sacrifice. Because Heroes are pests, not saviors. Because Heroes will look at people and only search for power, crashing the dreams of those that don't have any.

I took the name a childhood bully ridiculed me with and made it mine. I was gifted my master's power after he sacrificed himself for the world we wanted to create.

I became the scourge of all Heroes, the man that ended their rule over Japan.

I am All for Deku.

And there is nothing else I would rather be.

"Izuku Midoriya." All for Deku said with a grin Deku had never imagined seeing on his own face. Well, not exactly his own. All for Deku looked three or four years older. His freckles were the same, but his green hair shorter and better kept, he was wearing a suit and tie Izuku had never owned, and there were some wrinkles under his eyes and on his forehead he did not have. He was taller and leaner. It was really like looking at an aged-up version of himself.

"All… All for Deku… How?" Ojiro asked, his voice trembling.

"I am searching for Lemillion, Tailman. Of course we scouted possible hiding spots. I have spent the last half an hour going through each of them, until I finally found you here."

"But… Why?"

"Don't get full of yourself, you are not on my radar. If I wanted to kill you, I would have, but Himiko says she wants to hunt you personally. Jump out of that window and run away for all I care. He, on the other hand" All for Deku walked forward "He is the one I want to know everything about."

Deku felt One for All tremble inside his body, and something else. It was something he had never felt before. It was dread. Sadness, fear… hope. He felt that last one, trembling deep inside the opponent.

It was One for All.

"So, Izuku Midoriya. Compress told me about you. He thinks you are some fake that has an inferior version of All for One. But we know that is not the case, right? You can feel what I have, I can feel the same." All for Deku frowned, a hint of rage in his eyes "You have One for All, don't you?"

Deku looked around. No way out but the window, or trying to use Teleport. And using it so much, especially if he had to carry Ojiro too, was going to strain him. According to the notes, the more someone used Teleport, the harder it was.

"Nothing? Are you not even going to answer?" He asked, "I guess I will just have to get the answer by myself then." He stepped forward, and Deku answered by unleashing Blackwhip. All for Deku grinned even more and responded with an explosion from his hands.

"Kacchan's…" Deku said.

"Even that nickname… Who are you?" All for Deku asked marching forward. Then he punched, and Deku had no choice but to Teleport. He appeared behind his other self and punched all the same, putting the maximum output he could use without crippling himself. A strong gust of wind exploded from his attack, sending every object in the room flying and shattering the glass of the window.

"I'm Deku!" Izuku shouted.

The other Izuku did not budge. He simply held his position despite the punch pressing on his cheek. "Mh, is this your best? Lemillion punched harder. But you have strength and Teleport. The dark thing is new, but maybe it's something I never figured out." He was analyzing him, Deku realized in horror, and ignoring his attack so casually meant he was immune, or very close to it. 'Some Quirk that absorbs impacts, like the USJ Noumu?'

Suddenly, another punch impacted on the back of his head, as Ojiro's fist connected, but the Villain simply chuckled. "Come on, if this one didn't work, why would yours? Anyway, I will have to send Himiko after someone else." His face suddenly changed, amusement in his eyes as a tail emerged from his lower back, before covering itself in rivets and hardening like a rock "No one punches me and lives to talk about it."

Izuku did not even hesitate, throwing himself between Ojiro and All for Deku, using Blackwhip to blunt the impact. The explosion produced by the impact of the tail sent them both flying back, but neither of them was injured. 'Kirishima's Hardening… But Compress had it just earlier…'

"Very heroic of you. The more I look at you, the more is like watching some distorting mirror. You called yourself the Hero Deku, right? There is so much I want to know about you. Where did you come from? Why are you younger than me?" All for Deku casually strolled forward, and Izuku extended Blackwhip while glancing out of the window. A moment later, him and Ojiro were outside.

"Split up!" He said, releasing Ojiro.

"I can't let you…" Ojiro started, but All for Deku appeared between them. Izuku felt his head split, like someone inside was crying in pain, but he recovered and took a step back.

"Now now, it's not fair to run away from a conversation. We have a lot to talk about, Izuku Midoriya."

Izuku jumped forward with a kick, the metallic boots impacting with All for Deku's chest. Surprisingly, that worked, sending him flying. "Run Ojiro!"

Ojiro stared at him a second longer then run away, as All for Deku rose from the rubble of the wall he had been sent flying through, small scratches on his body. "Kicks? That's definitely new." He said, spitting some blood. Izuku noticed a scratch on his upper lip quickly close, disappearing.

"Noumu's Regeneration…"

"So you know the Noumu too. So many questions. Now, however, let me ask you something. Where are you from?"

Izuku opened his mouth to reply with something else… "Musutafu." 'Wait, why did I answer?'

"Same as me. When is your birthday?"

Midoriya jumped forward with another kick, but even like that he could not help but answer "July 15th!" He shouted, as All for Deku ducked before unleashing another Explosion. Midoriya landed a few steps back, without stopping.

"Interesting. How did you get here?"

"I was testing Teleport and suddenly woke up in this place!" He blurted out, before biting his lip. 'He has some Quirk that makes me tell the truth…'

"I see." All for Deku replied, rushing forward with a punch charged with what Deku recognized as One for All. He quickly answered in kind, the kick and punch impacting. Dread and desperation washed into him the moment the two attacks connected. 'Was that All for Deku's One for All?' He wondered, before looking in surprise as he came out the strongest, to his opponent clear disappointment. "Tch, I want to toy with you more, but I have better things to do, so answer this. Where do you think you are?"

"I think this is another world!" Izuku shouted as he tried to hit with a follow-up kick. 'Wait, I do?' He asked himself, suddenly freezing and taking a few steps back 'What am I talking about, that is impossible!'

"A bold theory, but you know what? I think you are right." He launched forward and this time Izuku saw his arm bulge as multiple Quirk formed a giant's arm. The image of what All for One used in Kamino came to mind and Izuku used Teleport again, moving out of the way as the punch hit a wall, obliterating it and the room behind. All for Deku turned around slowly, as his arm reverted to normal "I think you are right, you heard that. There is no other explanation I can think of. You aren't an imposter, or a madman. Neither of those would have One for All, I would have found out both long ago. You are Izuku Midoriya, born July 15th and grown up in Musutafu. Which means, you are me, but with One for All instead of All for One." The other Izuku laughed "I can't believe it, and yet it makes… a bit of sense. You said you were testing Teleport. How far did you try to go?"

"I-Island!" Deku could not help but shout as he unleashed Blackwhip again.

"Fascinating! I never tried it for that long of a jump." He said, before opening his mouth and unleashing a stream of fire that Deku had to avoid by dodging the attack and jumping out of the way.

As he did, he recognized the Quirk. "Dad's…"

"Oh come on, we both know he wasn't using it."

"What did you do?" Deku asked, turning around slowly, a look of horror on his face.

"I just took it. You were not thinking I would kill my own father, right? I only hate heroes and the society they empower." He grinned "Speaking of which, what you just told me is really interesting."

"What?" Deku asked, before jumping to the side as a blast of compressed air flew towards him, destroying another wall. By now, he could hear the distant sound of sirens. Which meant, soon All for Deku was gonna have reinforcement.

"There are more 'One for All' out there. That is the most important information."

"You won't have the chance to use it!" Another voice that sounded familiar to Deku declared, before a punch emerged from the ground, followed by the rest of the body of a man with blonde hair, impacting at full strength against the Villain's chest.

Mirio Togata, or better an older version of him, wearing a tattered cape and a worn-out version of his Lemillion costume and sporting an unkempt beard, glanced back towards Deku "I can't believe Ojiro was telling the truth. I thought he had snapped."

"M-Mirio?!"

"Lemillion!" All for Deku shouted, lunging forward, before a stream of Ice enveloped him.

A taller Shoto Todoroki, his hair black, ran towards them. He had grown an impressive musculature, looking more like his father in build, and now was several centimeters taller than he was in Izuku's time, but Midoriya easily recognized him thanks to the scar "Get running!" He shouted "This won't hold him for…"

An explosion erupted from inside the ice, and the other Izuku emerged from the various chunks. "Tailman can call Lemillion for reinforcements. Did he lie to Toga?"

"No, he was telling the truth. He hadn't seen Mirio or me in years, he just still had Hagakure's number, who then called me." Todoroki said, "And I was meeting up with Mirio." He clenched his teeth "He is using Confession!"

"I noticed." Mirio replied, "You are Izu, right?"

"Y-yes."

"Run."

"What? Why?"

"Because you have One for All! You are giving us hope again!" Mirio shouted as he attacked again with a punch that phased right through All for Deku's hand and hit his face, before recoiling back with a cracking sound as it was stopped by some other Quirk. "I don't know who you are and how you came here, but you can save us!" He smiled, turning to face him "Please, be a better successor than I was."

"Very moving, Lemillion." The other Izuku replied with a grin, before crashing a wave of Todoroki's ice with an Explosion "But let me be clear. He isn't going anywhere."

"And how are you going to stop him, Midoriya?!"

"I am not." He replied, "He is coming back." He said, blocking a kick with his left hand. Deku looked at him in surprise, and the other Izuku smiled "See? You Heroes are all the same, you will always try to help each other. That's why it's so easy to take you out!" And with that he unleashed a shockwave, the same kind Izuku remembered from Kamino. Now the buildings nearby were crushed, turned into piles of debris. Deku coughed as he got back up, gritting his teeth. Todoroki was on the ground close to him, and Deku ran forward.

"Are you ok?" He asked, but the ice and fire user just pushed him away.

"Never get close to me again." He hissed. Izuku nodded slowly before he looked up, where All for Deku was standing, ten feet in the air, looking down to them. Todoroki turned to look at his left, like he had heard something, and immediately unleashed a surge of ice "Mirio, we need to run!" He shouted as Muscular broke through it effortlessly.

"Go, I'll keep them busy!" Mirio shouted.

"Togata! You are the Symbol of Peace!" He shouted, "You need to survive!" He said, before returning his attention to the incoming Hero Suppressor.

Deku acted first and jumped towards Muscular unleashing Blackwhip, blocking the giant mass of muscles in its track. "You tricked me good kid. But it's all right, you let us catch a big fish. For that, I will give you a less painful death." The Villain shouted, before a large flame engulfed him. Izuku retracted the Blackwhip and looked at Todoroki, who just ignored him.

"Run, you idiot! I don't know who thought it was funny to send us One for All inside you of all people, but get out of here or this will be for nothing!" Shoto shouted angrily.

"I don't even know where to go!" Midoriya shouted before using his Air Force to hit Muscular square in the face, blood coming out of the Villain's nostrils.

Todoroki grumbled "Of course." The he took out a phone and throwing it at him "Get out of here and call Hagakure."

"But…"

"I said go! I don't need to see your face another minute! One Midoriya is enough!"

Izuku turned to Mirio, who was fighting against a flying, evil version of himself, then shook his head "I can't!" He shouted before using Air Force again, this time aiming at All for Deku. The air pulse hit him in the head, leaving an opening Mirio used to punch him, but his other self seemed to be perfectly fine. "I am a Hero, and the user of One for All! I am supposed to beat him!"

"Can you?!" Shoto asked as he created another surge of ice quickly followed by fire. The resulting sudden explosion of vapor burned Muscular enough to actually make him scream "Because otherwise what you will be doing is just getting in our way kid! We fought All for Deku for years!"

Midoriya tried to say something, then jumped forward and tackled Shoto. "What are you…" The man shouted, before a large boulder passed just above their heads. Without pausing, Midoriya launched forward Blackwhip to stop another one.

"My my, and here I thought I would manage to take down Todoroki." Mr. Compress said, walking forward. Izuku noticed that his arm was now perfectly healthy, despite being broken a mere hour before. "Surprised kid? You shouldn't be. Of course the first thing our dear leader did was stockpile healing Quirks."

"Compress…" Todoroki said, glancing from Muscular to Compress. "Shit…" He turned to Deku "We are running. Togata! Go!"

"Once you are safe!"

"Stop trying to sacrifice yourself!" The black-haired man shouted, an angry expression on his face, before using the full extent of his Quirk to create a massive wall of Ice. "We are going, now! No buts!" And saying so, after a moment of hesitation, he grabbed Izuku's arm and started dragging him away. Behind them, Izuku noticed the wall of Ice quickly breaking down under Muscular's blow. In response, Todoroki unleashed another burst of Ice, before activating his flame to return his own body back to normal temperature.

Izuku tried to look at Mirio, but the man just pointed a thumbs up toward Shoto, and then continued his battle. Todoroki did not stop, rushing Deku away while releasing ice walls behind them. Once they reached the street, he created one more, blocking the entire road. After running a bit more, Ojiro ended up jumping next to them.

"Situation?" Todoroki asked.

"There were a few Twice waiting for you." He said with a grin, showing a fist covered in mud "Not anymore."

"Good to know. Any sign of Dabi or Toga?"

"Not that I have seen, and the police is only blocking the main street."

"Good." He looked at Deku, then shook his head "How are we supposed to work with this?" He asked staring at Izuku with a look of profound disgust.

"I just call him Izu."

"And what about the everything? I can't even stand looking at his face, Mashirao."

Deku gritted his teeth 'It's not because of me, is because of the other Izuku…' He pulled up his hoodie, covering his face "Better?" He asked.

"Marginally." Todoroki replied. He took his phone back and made a call. "Hagakure, it's me. Yes. The One for All story was real." Todoroki closed his eyes, a short pause "It's… complicated. Yes, Ojiro was right, he has Teleport. We will make our way there, just hang on."

"Where to?"

"Here." Todoroki said, showing him a wobbly video of a storage room. "Use that Teleport of yours to bring us there."

Izuku nodded, and grabbed them both with Blackwhip, focusing on it.

All three disappeared.

-

The three of them crashed on the ground in the same large alley they had just teleported from. Izuku stood back up, and looked around frantically just enough to see that the time was wrong. When he had activated Teleport, it was early in the morning, the sun wasn't even up, but now the sun was at high noon, and there was no signs of a battle. He gulped.

"T-Todoroki, how far was the storage room we tried to Teleport to?" He asked.

Shoto stood up, massaging his head "About one hundred kilometers to the west. I thought that was not too far for…" He stopped, looking up at the sky. "What's going on?"

"Uh, I think… I think we are in another world." Izuku replied.

"What?!" Both Ojiro and Todoroki asked in unison.

"I don't come from your world, I figured that out and even All for… He Thought it was possible. And well, there aren't other explanations, right? It's either that or we are having an enormous allucination."

Todoroki tried to reply, then paused, before finally speaking again "So you think we ended up in another world? But why?"

Izuku shook his head "I don't know! Teleport is supposed to just not work if I go beyond a certain distance, and that wasn't even the case with this. We tested it for one hundred and twenty kilometers, so why did we get sent here?"

"Are you even sure we are in another world?"

"The situation is the same as last time. I teleported and landed in the exact same place, but a completely different time of day."

"Eh, guys…" Ojiro whispered.

"You need to send us back, now!" Todoroki said, walking up to him. Up close, Midoriya realized that this Shoto had the same expression his father had when he was angry. And now he was really angry.

"I don't know how! I have no idea what it is that causes the jump! I don't know if it's the distance I want to travel, or if the time of day and position matter… I didn't even know there were other worlds until ten hours ago!"

"Guys…" Ojiro repeated, now speaking louder.

"Well fantastic! Great! Now we are stuck who knows where, with a kid that has no idea of how to bring us back! Do you realize what this means?"

"Guys!"

"What?!" He asked, turning around, and froze. Deku, looking over his shoulder did the same, and they all saw the same thing. There were Heroes patrolling the street, walking next to the civilians, smiling. For Izuku that was normal. It was what he had always seen as normal, but he noticed Ojiro was crying, though he quickly wiped away the tears. Todoroki wasn't, but even he was shaking slightly.

After a long minute of just staring at the street, Todoroki shook himself out of his stupor and started walking. "Let's go. We need to figure out what kind of world we are in."

Izuku nodded, following Todoroki and Ojiro down the street. Looking around, the world seemed the one he came from. A bit relieved, he took out his phone, but he noticed the battery was dead. 'Of course…' He thought. Looking at the street, he could not recognize any of the patrolling Heroes.

Then Todoroki stopped, pointing at a large screen. Ojiro did the same, and Midoriya turned around to then gape at the screen with wide eyes.

"Hello everyone. This is Number Two Hero, Shouko Todoroki, here to talk you about a new hair product. This revolutionary product from Sayasen Shampoo…" A smiling woman with short white air was talking, showing a bottle of some shampoo Izuku had never heard about before.

Izuku just looked at the screen in surprise, but Ojiro did not. At first low, then stronger and stronger, he started laughing. "Sh… Shouko Todo… Todoroki… M… My, you look really good with long air Shoto." The ex-hero managed to stutter between fits of laughter.

"I will burn your face off." Todoroki replied in a deadpan tone.

"Now Shouko, that's not what a lady should talk like." Ojiro quipped.

"And remember," Shouko continued, as another figure entered on screen "If your husband also has hair problem, Sayasen has a line of shampoo for men. Isn't that right honey."

"Oh no." Ojiro whispered.

"Eh." Todoroki said with a grin, only to then realize what that meant. "Oh no."

"That's absolutely true, darling." A grown up Ojiro Mashirao, with a short beard and a shining smile, said entering the screen.

"We agree to never tell anyone, right?" Ojiro asked.

"Right." Shoto replied, coughing before turning to Izuku "So, is this your universe Izu?"

Midoriya shook his head "Where I come from, you two are of my same age and men. They look to be older than mister Aizawa or miss Midnight, not to mention you are a woman."

"True." Todoroki replied "So there is at least a third universe. Well, does anyone have an idea? I admit I'm a bit lost."

"Should we try to jump again?" Ojiro proposed.

"Maybe, but we have no idea of how this world jumping thing works."

"Well what's the alternative?"

"We find a One for All user that does." Izuku replied. They both turned to look at him.

"How? I don't think every world would know about One for All and All for One. We don't even know if they all have them." Ojiro commented.

"No, but we have the advantage that we already know about it. We can put together clues that people from this world wouldn't."

Shoto thought for a moment, before smiling "Izu is right. We will try to figure out who got One for All in this universe and work from there. Worst case scenario, we can just randomly jump and hope the next universe is better, but if we find someone with the Quirk that knows how to use it we are set."

Izuku nodded, then a thought suddenly popped up as they started walking again "You both know what One for All looked like in your universe, right? I mean, the other Quirks it contained."

"Yes. Teleport, Shade, Float, Bolt… I remember those four."

"So you never saw this?" Izuku asked, releasing a thin Blackwhip.

"Not that I can remember." Todoroki said "But to be fair, Mirio hasn't had the Quirk in years."

"Yes, but even All for Deku said he could not remember a Quirk like mine. It's possible that the Quirk themselves change depending on which world we are in."

Todoroki stopped in his track "Dammit. You are saying it's possible that we are in a universe where Teleport isn't one of the Quirks inside One for All, right?"

Izuku nodded, and Ojiro groaned "Why can't you have a simple Quirk like my Tail? It was so easy to use. And it wouldn't send me in another universe if I used it wrong."

Izuku tried to respond before a realization hit him and he turned to them "You two seem… Oddly relaxed for the situation."

Ojiro laughed "Izu, I'm freaking out right now. I am scared. Terrified. But that's more or less how my entire life has been since All for Deku took power. After a while you either go insane or learn to keep it inward."

"We have been running from him for years. To be honest, what scares me is what's gonna happen while we are away." Todoroki replied, before looking around "Compared from escaping him, this is nice. You can tell people aren't afraid a Hero Suppressor will burst through their wall during lunch, or that Midori… All for Deku will send someone to silence them just because they saw something they shouldn't have."

Izuku sighed "I'm so sorry for…"

"Don't, kid." Ojiro replied "It wasn't you."

Todoroki said nothing, and the three continued to walk.
