Izuku stumbled. Not because he was on a roof this time, but because he was on some unsteady surface. His new wounds stinged. The tingling sound of what he was walking on, some kind of pebbles, echoed in the darkness that surrounded him. He steadied himself and took a step, before wincing. The hit blade that had cut him in the leg and the punch from Toga had left their mark.

"Where… are we?" He asked in a whisper, as his eyes slowly adapted to the darkness. The light was still faint, but he could make out that he was inside somewhere. There were columns, and a roof above his head. He could also feel he was on a slight decline, and looking down he saw something glisten, perhaps some humid stone. A moment later, Epsi extended one of her sensors, and a light shone from it.

"You have a torch?" Izuku asked, surprised, "Power Suit didn't mention it."

"It's just another use of the camera's flash." She replied, before stopping. "Something is odd."

"What is it?" Izuku asked, looking around in the light. They were in an enormous chamber of stone. The walls were far in the distance, and he could see a dark opening beyond.

"Izuku, look down." Izzzuku replied, and Izuku obliged… Before freezing. The ground was shining golden because it was covered in coins, the 'pebbles' Izuku had mistook them for.

"What?!" He asked out loud before he could stop himself.

Both Izzzuku and Epsi immediately shushed him, and he covered his mouth with both hands in response.

"This is bad." Izzzuku mumbled to himself inside Izuku's mind, "A dreamcatcher? Must be a treasure inside this place."

"The amount of CO2 is odd. There should be tens of people in here for this quantity to make sense." Epsi added meanwhile, "Mister Izuku, I hate to since you need medical care, but I suggest…"

"Well then." A deep, rumbling voice asked from behind, as Izuku turned around, looking at the pile of coins shifting and moving. "What do we have here?"

Shining deep green scales, like leaves in a forest, arched outside of the gold, as every lamp in the cave lighted, like someone had manually activated each of them, the fires reflecting on the outright ridiculous mound of coins and jewels Izuku and the other being were standing on. Two large wings spread lazily, the membrane forming them a clearer green, like that of grass. Finally, Izuku found the courage to stare up at the eyes, two enormous emeralds with a black slit for a pupil, the blackest void inside it.

The dragon grinned – and what a sight it was to see a lizard grin – as it showed its size. It dwarfed Ryukyu's transformed form, the dragon Hero probably not reaching the thigh of its legs with her neck kept high. Mount Lady, maybe, could surpass it, and while she was taller the creature would have probably been bigger measuring from his head to his tail.

'How big is this pile of coin if he could sleep under it?' He asked himself.

"Focus Izuku." Izzzuku answered, and it was incredibly odd to hear his voice so serious.

'I… Right. Should we get out?'

"I don't know, this thing is a big problem!"

'Why?'

"Dragons are magical creatures in Magic worlds. They can be masters of the magic arts, and if they have a spell that allows them to travel the Multiverse, they might figure out where you come from and try to follow you if, I don't know, you disappear in front of him right now."

Izuku gritted his teeth, on edge, 'That can happen?'

"Already did once. The League had to figure out how to contain a dragon and…"

"Well, then…" The dragon loomed closer, and Izuku took a step back in fear, in the process almost losing his footing entirely, "It's not polite to not introduce yourself to the one whose home you have entered into, little one."

"I-It was an accident?"

"That does not sound like a name." The creature grumbled, annoyed, "Perhaps I do not need to know who you are. I should just kill you."

'He is… toying with me?'

"Yup, dragons do that. They are basically giant cats really. Just play along, I'll solve this." Izzzuku replied.

"U-Uhm… My name is Izuku Midoriya actually." Deku answered, uncertain of how to continue.

"What a peculiar name." The beast leaned in, at ease, "And do tell, who is Izuku Midoriya? What skills did it use to break inside my personal chambers?"

"W-Well, would you believe me if I said it was an accident?" He tried to smile, but that expression died an ugly death as the dragon's own grin fell.

"An accident made you pass enough guards and traps to kill an army almost unscathed? I'm even more curious." The tone was almost mocking, any hint of joy in the voice of the creature gone. Izuku stepped back subconsciously, realizing this was going south fast.

"Whatever you need to do, do it fast, Izzzuku."

'I said I'm on it, the bastard has mental defenses I need to bypass carefully, otherwise he will notice. Make him talk.'

Izuku slowly stared at the creature. "I-If I can ask, before telling you who I am, who are you?"

The dragon chuckled.

-x-

My name is Izmird, one of the Three Great Dragons.

The Green Ruler, Unmatched Under Heaven, The Honored One, He Whose Fire Melts Mountains, The Master of All Magic… Men and beast, be they enemies or servants, have given me many names. I, prefer the title of Lord Izmird.

For hundreds of years I have ruled over the Green Mountains, crushing any pathetic attempt to come between me and my rightful domain.

I am Lord Izmird.

And all others can only fail to compare to me.

"So, I answered your question, little one. Now answer. Who are you?" The Dragon observed the small human as it tried to come up with an answer. The little thing was clearly scared, as it should have been. Killing him would have been no trouble.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya, a Hero also known as Deku."

The Dragon's mind raced to find a mention of an House Midoriya in the books and tomes he had collected, only to come out blank. How intriguing of a noble family to rise so fast without his notice. Or was this Izuku perhaps the first of its family? In that case, it was a fool, to put the fragile life of a little man on the line without heirs. "A Hero? Why, the last time one with such lofty title came by, it tried to kill me. Is that what you wish too?" He remembered of course. It had broken into his fortress in hopes of challenging him, only to not even make it to the room the new toy of his was standing. A fascinating, if short lived, distraction.

"N-No! No, I only wish to get out of here."

Izmird paused, surprised for the second time in less than ten minutes. Truly, the human was proving entertaining even now. "All the trouble to get in here, and now you wish to leave?"

"It was no trouble actually…" The human's answer left its lips before it could stop itself, but the dragon just laughed. The walls trembled as the ruler's laughter echoed through the room, coins tingling as they fell from his body. The child was now stepping back again, afraid of him while maintaining its footing as best as it could over the pile of coin.

Izmird paused after a few moments, shifting to a more comfortable position over his pile of treasures. What a peculiar human this was. It lacked magic completely. There were traces of past use, including an odd core of power in his head, but no trace of the magic all things were born with. And finally, the bracelet. It had been quiet since he had appeared, but the bracelet had spoken before, using a female voice. Interestingly, his translation spell and mind reading spell had not worked on the object. A sentient Magic Item shielded by both was a rare thing, and one shielded from his detecting magic spell even more. 'To summarize, a human child managed to enter my treasure chamber, not ten meters away from me, with less magic than any other creature in this world, and carrying a magic item. How incredibly interesting.'

The child was squirming, clearly trying to think of a way out. "So, Hero, is Deku the only name people have called you by?" He asked, deciding to see for himself. Ask the right question, and see for yourself, that was his creed.

"Uhm, well I…" The child seemed undecided. Curious, the dragon extended his mind reading spell forward, and examined his thoughts. At first, there was a block, and a powerful one. A peculiar shield built out of incoherent dreams, a barrier more powerful than any he had seen from a single individual, more akin to that constructed by a group of a dozen or more humans. But he wasn't called Unmatched Under Heaven for nothing. Izmird pushed it aside, entering in the child's mind, like a flood through a broken dam.

Confusion, that was his impression.

Whatever the power inside the child's mind was, it was scrambling it. Normally, thoughts were broken in streams of conscious thoughts and seas of unconscious thoughts. The point of his question had been to drag above that sea the conscious thoughts the dragon wanted, namely who this child was. However, something was in the way. The streams were being obscured and blocked by incoherent images, like someone was trying to interfere.

However, whatever was inside the child's mind was severely underestimating him. He started to calmly push those dreams aside, carefully cutting and amending them from the real memories. The process felt long, but in reality he was acting at the same speed of a thought, the tenth of a tenth of a tenth of a second an information took to travel through someone's mind as slow as the passing of the years.

Once he had cleaned the streams, however, he was still puzzled, because there were multiple ones.

A Quirkless – 'A term I do not know, curious' – child is offered to wield a power above everything he has ever wished for. The first appearance of a fated foe, emerging from a shroud of dark fog. A masked man causing him to fear for his death and tremble behind a wall. The mad rush to save a young girl from a foe with a beak. Time spent on a far off island, trying to escape from a foe wielding storms and commanding beasts. A revelation of power and a jump.

That was where the linear thought stopped and seemed to branch.

Questions, too many to answer, on a Quirkless kid that is offered greatness from evil and accepts it. 'All for Deku. Killed friends. Why. Why. Why. Why.' The child's voice resonates, as scattered feelings of regret and fear thunder through the mind. The faces of two man, and more questions. 'Help them. Take them home. Is it right?' The last question is made with two voices, one older, one its own.

A search for a man in his forties, a wife and a daughter. The man opens his hand and fire shines around it, magic – or is that something different – allowing him to control it. A battle against a creature that is man and demon, a victory that comes through the combined effort of a blonde human female and the child. An attack in the night from demons – are they? – and an escape. Questions thunder once more. 'I should have helped. Fireblitz might be dead. Help Itsumi. Save them. Is it right?'

A man in his early twenties, the third one that looks like the child. A ride on horses to a Kingdom of Colfire – a name Izmir does not know, a kingdom and throne that did not exist. A sword called One for All – and the dragon stops for a moment there – that brims with power. A battle against yet another man with green hair, this one using some sort of magic artifact. A struggle that ends with a mistake and disappointment. A talk on luck and fortune. 'I should have beaten him. Am I weak, or am I unprepared? I can beat him?' Many goodbyes, and a revelation that…

Abruptly, Izmird felt the mind he was entering slip away, and shook back to the normal world. Not more than a second had passed since he had made contact with the child's mind, and yet it was gone. He used his spells to sense living creatures, but to no avail. It just wasn't there.

'Teleportation then.' He decided, but now the dragon had more pressing matters to attend to. The one name he had obtained was the Kingdom of Colfire. He needed to know where that was first. The child had escaped his maws, but he was still fascinated by it. He wanted to see what it was.

The Honored One spent a few minutes in contemplation. The memories of the human were garbled, thanks to that dream interference, but he had seen no less than five lives that resembled his own but weren't quite the same. More importantly, some of those depicted structures, cities and events he had no knowledge of. Him, who had spent centuries studying, did not know any of those places.

It left a number of options. The child might have been from another plane of existence, for one. He couldn't claim to know everything, as much as he wished to.

The name Colfire rung again into his mind. 'Research then.' He decided, shaking his body. His wings retracted, his size shrunk, his body changed. Soon after, an elf stood where the dragon had been. 'How long as it been since I took this form?' He wondered, before searching under the pile and picking up the bracelet of knowledge, the stored knowledge of not only his entire life, but the life of all of his other wielders, elven kings and conquerors of millennia ago, before he had acquired that treasure among treasures for himself.

As he sat down and put on One for All, his mind slipped inside it. His last conscious thought outside was one of amusement. 'Perhaps, I can acquire one more One for All.' He thought with a grin.

-x-

Izuku took deep breaths as he landed in the middle of a dark alley. Pitch black sky covered the street, and the hair was cold and humid, like it had just stopped raining – which explained the puddles on the ground. He winced on his wounded leg.

"Ugh, that was close." Izzzuku commented with a sigh, "I almost had him but I didn't expect him to go on the offensive inside your mind."

"He did what?!" Izuku shouted. From his perspective the dragon had asked a question and then, immediately after, Izzzuku had told him to go, to which he had obliged.

"Entered your mind to read it. I tried to garble your thoughts with dreams, but if he pushed aside my attempt at defending he probably also managed to clean your thoughts. I hate mind readers so much…" Izzzuku sighed again, louder this time, "Well, good news is I managed to touch his mind that way – or he touched mine, but it's the same either way – and make him a Beacon. If he pulls a jump we will know. Still, Izuku, you have jumped twice and almost got killed twice, please try to not do it a third time."

"Like I'm trying…" Izuku took a deep breath, before looking at Epsi, "I'm sorry Epsi, do you know where we are?"

The AI didn't answer immediately, her sensors out examining the air and snapping pictures. After a moment, they retracted and the AI turned to him, nodding. "Sorry for the delay. I believe we are in an alternate Musutafu. The satellite information, and the presence of internet, are coherent with this deduction."

Izuku breathed in relief, and slumped on a wall, feeling exhausted, "Can we find a place to sleep?" He asked.

Zuzu-9-Epsilon nodded, "Of course, you also will need to medicate your leg. If you follow my indications, I can lead you to a bed and breakfast that won't ask questions on your injury."

Izuku paused. Of course, there was no way a normal place would look at a teenager with blood on the leg of his pants and not ask at least some questions. "Is it a villain hideout?" He asked.

"Not… necessarily. Just a place for people that don't want to be bothered." She replied, evasively. Izuku nodded, and started to walk following the map Epsi was supplying.

"No toxins, no radiations, no unknown viruses in the air." She supplied, as they walked through a series of back alleys to reduce Izuku's risks of running into other people. They hadn't yet spotted any patrolling Heroes, but that could mean anything. There were always areas of Musutafu where the patrols were more relaxed. "There is however something else. Interesting?"

"What is it?"

"Nanomachines."

Izuku stopped, "Should I be worried?"

"No, they appear to be both inert and unresponsive. I took one for analysis and am running a diagnostic right now, but I theorize those are just remains scattered in the air of a fight that involved an enormous amount of them."

"I guess we really are in a science universe, then." Izuku thought, "This is the first one I reach." Deku looked around. It didn't look too different from home, to be honest. The phones the few people they passed were using seemed normal, and there wasn't any technology that Izuku could recognize as alien at a glance. "I wonder if we can find help this time."

"If you keep up like you have so far, I think we will be lucky if you go back home in one piece. Seriously, a serial killer and a dragon?" Izzzuku's voice cut in, dripping with badly hidden hilarity now that the incident with the dragon was behind them.

"That's true but… Well I don't know what else I could do. I'm just trying to control Teleport but so far it's not working."

"Hey, you shouldn't blame yourself. The first time you were in emotional distress and the second I told you to run." He replied, "Also don't forget, it usually takes more than twenty or thirty attempts before a Teleport user succeeds once at reaching Isaac's home by themselves. Don't get discouraged too much for one or two failures."

Deku nodded, feeling a bit relieved. At the same time, however, knowing it would take that long was agonizing. If it wasn't for the wound at his leg and the aching in his chest, were Toga had hit him with a One for All punch, he would have insisted to try at least a few more jumps for the day. Three seemed atrociously slow. However, he knew that he needed to treat his wounds. "Epsi, are you sure I'm fine in the chest. It still hurts."

"I'm not detecting any worrying sign from your body. Your blood pressure is regular, so I'm sure there is no sign of internal hemorrhages, and similar diagnostics don't seem to show anything else. I believe what you are experiencing is simply your body telling you to take a rest, Mister Izuku."

"Is just… We have only done three jumps."

"And three shall be enough for today. I would have suggested stopping at five or six normally, but given your physical situation and the stress you are experiencing due to both your world's situation and your encounters so far, I must request you rest for the day." Epsi's voice was calm and soothing, but stern. She was making it clear that she wasn't going to be happy if Izuku defied her request, even if he was totally capable too. She was, after all, tied to him.

Still, Deku sighed, "Alright, I… I guess it will have to be enough."

"I guess so. Now, I have researched your alter ego in this world. Once we are in your room, I will lay down my discoveries and we will decide how to proceed."

Izuku nodded, now curious too. He had to admit that finding out who he was in each world was the most interesting part of this journey. He chastises himself for that: he was supposed to be looking for allies, not having fun.

"One and the other aren't mutually exclusive." Izzzuku reminded him, "In fact, curiosity can only help."

After a ten minutes walk, Izuku walked to the door of the building she had directed him to. The hotel was small and had clearly seen better days. The painting was falling off the façade with no one caring to repaint it, and some of the windows were cracked and repaired with only duck tape. At least two AC units had been vandalized, one missing the entire internal section, leaving only a useless shell, and the other just damaged with what seemed to have been some blunt object. The sign was made of neon, and depicted a blue maneki-neko, a cat with the right paw raised, next to the yellow words 'Maneki Hostel'.

"You are sure this is the place?" Izuku asked.

"Yes, it's supposedly cleaner than it might look, incredibly cheap, and no one will ask any question."

"I don't buy the clean part." Izzzuku commented, and Deku had to agree. The place looked like it would be overrun by cockroaches and rats. He sighed, and walked past the door.

The lobby was, however, cleaner than expected. It was lighted quite well by three bright neon lights, and while nothing looked new, there wasn't much dust. The desk was covered in holes, the results of seemingly years of woodworms left rampant. A moment later, Izuku noticed the cats. A large, red cat with long fur was resting on the desk, in a spot made for him with a few blankets. Another black one was walking around the lobby, before perching itself on a nearby chair and staring at them, curious. A third, grey with black stripes, was on the stairs, yawning calmly. A golden maneki-neko stood on the front desk too, waving at a slow rhythm.

"Uh, at least it looks better inside." Izuku commented.

"Glad to know that." A voice replied, and Izuku stared at the desk, confused. There was… no one there. "I'm here." The female voice added, picking up a pen. "Sorry, you barged in at the wrong time." Izuku recognized that voice, but bit his lip before asking. Hagakure – older, judging by the voice, but still her – sighed, "Sorry, you know how it is, those nanotech powers all sound amazing, but when you get a permanent Implant shit can go wrong. My fault really, I shouldn't have trusted that quack."

"Implant?"

"Yeah, I really fucked up. I wanted to be a professional Nanouser and tried to find one on the cheap, and ended up with a permanent shield of invisibility. I mean, I never have to worry about cuts and bruises again, but being invisible is not fun. I get all kind of looks if I go around dressed, and all kind of accidents if I go in the nude. You'd think it should be the opposite."

Izuku had a bit of a hard time processing what she was saying, but he pushed forward, "Uh, I'm sorry."

"Eh, I'll get the money to remove it eventually. So, need a room?"

"Ah, yes actually. A single."

"Sure. It's three thousand yen for the night. Room 505. Check out by 9 AM or you pay the extra day. You can lock the small cat door, or you can leave it open to allow them to come in. But beware, if anything happens to any of them I will call the police."

Izuku nodded, it made sense, and the price was really, really cheap. He opened his bag and took out the money. She counted it quickly – or he assumed she did so – and put it away before handing him the key. He took it, but she didn't let go. "Just so you know, I won't ask if you have an Implant or not, but if you damage something you pay. I had a client once that forgot to mention a disintegration Implant and you better believe he paid for every last thing."

Izuku shook his head, "I don't…"

"Don't say anything." She replied, "It's your deal. The less I know, the better."

That was when Izuku realized that this Tooru Hagakure was really the owner of a place that took in anyone. She hadn't even asked for a document, for crying out loud. Just the money.

He calmly walked to the stairs, sidestepping the yawning cat, and made it slowly to the fifth floor, before opening his room. It was small, only comprised of a bed, a drawer, a tv that looked older than he was, a minute wardrobe and the bathroom, that only had a shower that had seen better days, a sink and the toilet. Izuku looked out of the window, on the lights of the city. It was a sight that should have been different but instead looked oddly alien. He hadn't noticed as much in the Wrestleverse – as Epsi had dubbed it after much deliberation – but here it was clear that Musutafu was a different city once he looked at the part he was more familiar with. A lot of skyscrapers that never existed were there, and a few he knew seemed gone. He couldn't see the place where UA was in his world, but he figured the chance of the school being there were slim. "I wonder how the others are doing." He said to himself.

"Alright, I'm done doing my research on Implants and nanomachines!" The AI announced in that very moment, distracting him. "So, to sum it up, about sixty ago special machines were invented to, essentially, give people superpowers. Originally they were only meant for the military, and that's why many of them were destructive, but soon enough the blueprints were leaked and the criminal underworld started to install them in their own body. So, in response…"

Izzzuku, emerging from Izuku's head, yawned, "Yeah yeah, fight fire with fire, inject it in volunteers, they start to spread further, and today you get them relatively easily if you want to. Am I right?"

"Uh. To an astonishing degree." The AI looked impressed, "How did you know?"

"A lot of science universes follow similar routes." He shrugged, "Midorikawa's world was almost the same, just with power armors instead of nanomachines. And also, technologically advanced."

Izuku frowned, "But if they have this level of technology, why does the city look like mine? It's not like we have seen any big scientific leap aside from those things."

"I… Don't really know." Epsi admitted, "My best guess is that the rest of the tech is still catching up. But you are right, it's weird. Sixty years is eons in technological advancement, in the modern world. I can't imagine why they wouldn't have integrated those nanomachines into everything yet."

"Let's think about that later." Izzzuku interrupted, emerging completely from the teen's head, "The real question is, what about Deku?"

"I found him, as I mentioned. Izuku Midoriya, Professional Nanouser. He works for United Advancement Technologies, a branch of the Yaoyorozu Group. He is also known as the Emerald Knight, apparently. He mostly works in busting down underground Nanousers."

"Underground?"

"There are laws for the installation of the Implants. Anyone that breaks them is considered a criminal, and his job is to hunt them down and… well, hopefully capture them and have their Implant removed."

Izuku nodded. The idea he worked to take away powers wasn't exactly appealing to him, but he understood the difference with Quirks. He sat down and decided it was time to look at his leg. "So, what do we do now?" He asked, removing his pants and examining the wound closely. It wasn't too deep and was already closing up, which was good. He fished out the first aid kit to bandage it.

"For now, you rest." Izzzuku replied, "No point in trying to meet your other you if you are this tired. It sounds like he is a stick in the mud, too, so we need to plan the first contact carefully. His types are the worst."

"First contact?"

"Did you forget one of your goals? This guy sounds like he can give a decent fight. Where were you planning to start recruiting for your problem otherwise?"

Izuku paused. He had not even considered it, but Izzzuku was right. He was supposed to look for allies and this Emerald Knight was the first one he could try to recruit. "You think it will work?"

"How should I know? But you have to start somewhere. If he just says no we can at least recruit him as a Sitting Agent."

"Wait, we can do that?"

"It's not why you are doing this, so don't get too worried about it, but technically if I say it's ok, or Epsi does, you can just ask someone to be a Sitting Agent for the League. Once we are back, I can show this world to Isaac and the other Patrollers so they can organize."

Izuku paused, pondering that. "Well, let's first meet him." He decides in the end, while he finishes bandaging the wound, "I think we need to see what he is like before, right?"

"Right." Izzzuku replied.

Izuku finally finished and put his pants in the sink, washing them. He couldn't do anything for the cut itself, but at least he could make sure it wasn't bloody. Returning to the room after using the shower and washing the rest of his clothes like the pants, to then put them to dry on the window, he put on something for the night and laid on the bed. Absentmindedly, he turned on the television, curious.

Most of the channels looked the same of his own world. Daikaku Miyagi was still the newscaster, though he lacked the horns that had given him a reputation back home. He was talking about how the lowering price of Implants and licenses was beginning to cause more and more people to try and acquire one, and how those issues could be addressed.

He switched channels a couple of times, movies and tv shows both familiar and unfamiliar rolling past until he stopped abruptly on a channel. Because he was on it. A man in his twenties, with short green hair and a large smile, wearing a full set of green armor.

"Hello everyone! This is Emerald Knight, and I am here with Princess Unlimited!" He said, pointing to a woman in her twenties, that Izuku recognized at a glance as Yaoyorozu. She was wearing something reminiscent of her Hero costume from home, a red leotard with a black cape. This one was less open than the one she wore home, and Izuku assumed that was because of the difference between her Implant and her Quirk.

"Hello!" She said, a smile on her face too, "And welcome to the presentation for Yaoyorozu Group's new Implants. I'm sure you are as excited as we are. Now, first…"

The presentation was a show of various nanomachines, Izuku realized. And a lot of those, he noticed, were equivalent to some of his friends' Quirks. A nanomachine that produced electricity in enormous quantity on command, one that stored, amplified and released soundwaves, one that would produce a chemical that acted like glue…

"This makes no sense." Epsi commented, "They want to use those to fight crime? That electricity one can probably solve electric shortages and lower drastically production cost, and that's just the beginning."

"Uh, well, back home a lot of people with electricity Quirks don't enter heroism for that very reason. Kaminari is a bit of an exception."

"Logically." The AI replied, "I'm just confused by this culture."

Izuku could see the point she was making, but he had to wonder if it was that much different from his own world.

"It is." Izzzuku replied in his head, and Deku gasped, "Calm down, I'm just talking, sheesh. Anyway, what I meant is that they aren't born with those. They pay to build them and install them. It's just odd to only Implant them in humans. Something is off."

Izuku nodded, staring at the screen. His alternate self looked very similar to Izo of Greenvalley, he noticed. The Hero of Colfire and the Emerald Knight were almost identical, in the same way him and Dekiru were. As he watched, a question came to mind. "What about One for All?"

"You are looking at it." Epsi replied, "Momo Yaoyorozu inherited the power of One for All, nanomachines capable of stockpiling in a small core enormous amounts of them. I think the ones I found in the air before came from her."

Izuku stared at Momo. She looked similar to the Duchess he had met in Colfire, too. He blushed as he wondered if those two were together like the ones in Colfire had been. He bit his lip. It had been a thought in the back of his mind, he supposed. Momo, Melissa, Mei… even Toga. He was doing his best to not overreact anymore whenever some alternate version of himself mentioned their wife – he was not ten after all – but it was still a weird experience. To see yourself married with different women, sometimes with children… It was an odd experience.

As Momo and Izuku – Princess Unlimited and the Emerald Knight, he suddenly realized, wasn't really subtle about their relation – finished their presentation by showing off an ice-and-fire nanomachine, he sighed and leaned back. He really was alone and so, so far from home.

He just hoped everyone was doing well. Both back home, and at the Headquarters. He closed his fist, thinking at the disaster that had been his first day through the Multiverse. 'I will do better.' He told himself, 'I'm going to save them all.'

(xx)

Man it's late, almost 3 AM, let's do this quickly. Remember to read Echoes of the Multiverse, it's a good side read and it's content will probably come up in some way. Not a mandatory read, since all the necessary contest will be given in the main fic, but I figure you'd want to get all the finer details.

Izmird is a character I was toying with for a long while. For our first non-humanoid Izuku I wanted something interesting and that wouldn't just be abandoned, so dragon in the idea of "that lizard that has studied enough tomes to put a scholar to shame" it was. One fun fact you might have noticed is that Izmird uses 'it' when talking about humans. Funny guy. I didn't really get to go through the Dragonverse, but it's an interesting place.

And then the Nanoverse. Please remember Muscular from the fantasy arc was from the Armorverse, he just happened to have a nanomachine armor. Very different from this world. I decided to finish the day with a calmer world, and the Nanoverse was useful for that. The 'plot' of this world is very interesting, and tbh kinda deserves an Echoes chapter, but I have a long list of those slotted up, so who knows when that will come out.

I do hope you are enjoying the fast Multiverse jumping adventure of Izuku. I have planned a full arc, but of course that doesn't just happen immediately. First, I figured seeing what he comes to meet for a bit is for the best.

Well then, see you soon, and remember to leave a comment! It's more important than you realize.
