"Alright, I'd say we are ready to go." Izuku commented, "You are sure that you want to…"

"Yes."

"Yep."

He sighed as both girls nodded, and looked around. It was late in the morning, and they had decided it was the perfect time to leave, with everyone busy with the clean-up. Izuku had asked Izumi if she thought they should have told someone, but according to her 'Kendo knows I'm leaving to do something related to the Path', and that seemed to have been enough in her book. Izuku honestly suspected Izumi was bad at goodbyes, considering she had defiantly avoided running into any of the others since they had woken up that morning. Her escaping through a window to dodge Iida had been actually quite funny.

"Well, if you are so sure, I suppose we can go. So, you understand what we need to do, right?"

"Focus on the picture while you focus on your mental image of it, so we don't interfere. Yes, we got it." Huanli replied, pointing to Zuzu's screen that was now showing an image of the Star Tower. According to Izzzuku, that should have helped, provided that the two focused on it. Deku had actually brought up to Huanli that if he succeeded, she would have most likely been escorted to the League anyway, but she had just shrugged and said 'They have to catch me first', and Izuku had taken it as a vote of confidence that the girl wouldn't try to mess up on purpose. Izzzuku had decided to enter her mind for the jump either way, just to make sure. If she was going to sabotage his training, they were going to know and have a talk with her.

Not that Izuku really thought she would. Huanli clearly gave great importance to training, he doubted she would ruin his on purpose.

Izuku put a hand on each of their shoulders, using Blackwhip to also grab their arms, and he noticed both girls clench their fists. He figured it had to be for different reasons, considering Huanli was unlikely to be nervous about jumping universe.

He looked at them. Huanli had brought a backpack, that Izuku assumed she had recovered sometime the night before, containing clothes, a blanket and some money of various types. Apparently, Huanli had been surviving by taking part in fighting competitions and using the prize money to buy food and clothes, so she had a lot of different currencies from all over the Multiverse.

Meanwhile, Izumi had refitted her school bag to carry her own clothes instead. She had also showed him a frankly obscenely amount of five thousand yen banknotes, the total being somewhere in the hundreds of thousands, hidden somewhere in it. Izuku had to wonder how she had gotten her hands on so much money, but decided it was better not to ask.

With that final thought out of his mind, he closed his eyes and focused. There was a brief pause, and then they vanished.

-x-

Izuku was falling. He opened his eyes and took in the scenery for a long moment. He was in the middle of the sky, clouds lazily floating at about their same height. The sky was a clear blue, with nothing in sight save for some odd, darker dots in the distance, that might have been airplanes or blimps. Hard to say from there.

Oh, and there was no ground below them. He was falling after all.

Izumi was the first to react, shouting as all three felt the grip of gravity draw them downward. Izuku and Huanli started panicking just an instant later.

"What the heck?!" Izumi shouted, as they continued to fall, only held together by Izuku's Blackwhip.

"Why?!" Izuku shouted, thinking back at what Izzzuku had said. Teleport wasn't supposed to just let him fall to his death.

Huanli was screaming too, though Izuku was fairly sure she was swaring in Chinese.

"What do we do?!" Izumi shouted, before looking at Izuku, "Can't you Teleport again?"

"No! If I'm moving at a certain speed, I keep moving at that speed after teleporting! We would just appear somewhere else while falling awfully close to terminal velocity! I'm not sure even One for All could cushion that!"

"Dammit! Can you stop the fall?!" She asked, looking down and around, before gasping "Where is the ground?!"

Izuku looked around. True to her words, there was no ground in sight. Neither mountains nor plains nor seas. As far as they could see, they were falling through the sky and toward more sky, with no end in sight. They could only tell up and down apart because of the direction they were falling towards. "I… I don't know."

"You know, this would be a great moment for a Quirk!" Izumi replied, and Izuku couldn't help but agree. Nana Shimura had the perfect Quirk for this, Float. But he had never unlocked the Quirk, so it was up to a last minute growth spurt of One for All.

"Come on, come on…" He tried to push himself upwards, but to no avail, "Come on miss Nana, please help!"

Huanli meanwhile had stopped screaming and closed her eyes, before taking a deep breath. "This is going to take a lot out of me." She said, before looking at Izuku, "Let go the arm and grab my legs!"

"What?!"

"Do it dammit!"

Izuku nodded, letting his grip go but no Blackwhip before grasping her ankle and then undoing Blackwhip too. The girl nodded, and closed his eyes. Izuku felt her body grow slightly warmer, and watched her spread her arms apart.

"Second Shape, Shou Quan." She said, Izuku and Izumi staring at her, feeling like they knew what she was planning to do but at the same time unable to believe it. "Zhuque Chibang".

And then they stopped, as if someone had just opened a parachute. Izuku was thankful he had the foresight to use Blackwhip around both his arm and Izumi's, because if it had been up to just their arms, they would have probably had a dislocated shoulder at least.

"You can fly?!" Izumi shouted.

"Not with this much weight on, I can't." Huanli replied, panting as she clearly tried her best to stay still, "Now, can we leave?!"

Izuku nodded, realizing that now they weren't going fast enough to hurt themselves once they arrived. Closing his eyes, he tried to focus on the League, but he knew it was unlikely it would work. With a sudden burst, they disappeared again.

-x-

The group landed in an alleyway, and Huanli gasped in relief as she let her arms fall down before starting to breath heavily.

"Are you… Are you ok?" Izuku asked.

"Give me… a minute. Solidifying Qi… is the basis of Shou Quan, but that doesn't mean… it's not tiring to pull off the… Zhuque Chibang." She kept taking gasping breaths between words, "It's the one technique of Shou Quan that still gives me trouble."

"What was that?!" Izumi asked, "Why were we falling! And toward what!"

"That was the Skyverse." Epsi intervened, lighting up her screen, "EX-022, Skyverse. A universe in which for unknown reason, Earth suddenly collapsed onto its core becoming some sort of super dense object. As a result, it gives off the impression of having no land at all."

"How are people alive in that universe?"

"It luckily collapsed after the birth of Quirks, and not all at once. People spent the decades between the beginning of the collapse and the full fall building giant flying fortresses called Arks that act as flying cities."

Izuku blinked, thinking back at the dots they had seen in the distance. That made sense, but… "I'm not sure the physics of that collapse hold up."

"Welcome to science universes." Izzzuku replied, lazily emerging from Huanli's head, "They are scientific, but only in the sense that the universe has an internal scientific explanation to how something happens. If that happened on another Earth… Well, I'm not really sure what would happen, but I'm fairly sure it would be nastier. Anyway, point is, since the Skyverse has no ground, Teleport just drops you at random in the sky."

"Doesn't that mean I would have just died if Huanli wasn't there?" Izuku asked.

"Eh, you have Float. I think it would have activated. Also, if it somehow didn't, I would have just brought you back to the League. Unlike yours, my Teleport doesn't transmit movement." He sighed, "This is exactly why I was against taking extra people. I can only move one person at a time."

"Right…" Izuku looked around. "Where are we, by the way?"

"Well the previous one was a science-Quirk universe, so this should be Quirk, Quirk-Magic or a world with all three."

Izuku looked around. The road they were walking on was made of cobblestone. It was clearly a sideroad, but still large enough to allow a small car to pass through easily. Or a cart, he supposed, considering both it and the building around gave the impression of being quite old compared to what he was used to, with brick visible. He looked up to see they were clearly western houses too, meaning that he was definitely not in Japan.

"The architectural style is similar to the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Century Iberian Peninsula." Zuzu suddenly supplied. "Although, some elements seem to indicate a different historic progression… I would have to examine further the area, however. It's possible we are further ahead in terms of time and we are just in an historically significant part of town, or that we are in a universe that doesn't share Earth's geography. At the very least, we are in a time before the internet, satellites or, dare I say, electricity being commonplace."

Izuku looked up, and realized what Epsi meant. There were no cables anywhere in sight, meaning that it was logical to assume electricity didn't exist. "Alright, let's take a look around then." Izuku decided, "Although our clothes aren't exactly inconspicuous in another time."

Huanli shook her head, "From my experience, you can just say that you come from a far-off land and they will ignore the clothes. If it's really Spain or Portugal, we will look like foreigners, so that solves the problem."

Izuku nodded and the three moved out of the alley into the main street. Like they expected, the people around were dressed in clothing that reminded Izuku of some movies he had seen. They were not the medieval clothes he had expected, but neither were they modern. It seemed familiar as far as clothing went.

"We should ask where we are." Izuku decided, walking up to the closest person. "Hi."

What? The man asked, in an unsure tone, and Izuku realized he didn't understand. He glanced at the other two, and then remembered it was finally time, so he proceeded to do the gesture to activate Tongues.

"Hi. Uhm, I'm sorry, but we are lost. Could you tell us where we are?"

The man blinked, then seemed to relax a bit, "Of course. If you follow that road, you can reach the port." He said, pointing to the opposite direction from where they had come.

"Thank you sir. Uhm, could I ask a few more questions?"

"Of course." The man replied, though he seemed uneasy again, like he didn't want the conversation to continue much longer.

"Could you tell me what year it is and what's the name of this city? We are trying to settle a dispute, you see."

"Ah. Well, it's the year of our Lord 1559, and this is the city of Valencia." He replied, with a nod, "Are you from the Lands of the Demon Warriors?"

"What?"

"Ah, pardon me, I meant, what's the name… Japan and China?"

"Oh. Yes."

"N-No reason. Have a good day sir." He nodded and bowed his head, before walking away at a fast pace.

"Alright, at least we know we are in Spain." Izumi decided, once Izuku told them what the man had said. "We should go to the port, if he sent us that way there must be a reason."

"Shouldn't we just leave?" Huanli asked.

"Not until we know where we are." Izuku replied, looking down at Epsi. In a world like this, people would have probably noticed her, since there didn't seem to be cellphones or similar tech, so she was hiding as a bracelet. However, a moment later, Izuku felt a voice in his mind, Izzzuku's tone sounding suddenly serious. "This is a problem."

'Why?'

"I know where we are." Izzzuku replied, "And I can't decide if I should tell you to leave or if you have all the reasons in the world to stay."

'What do you mean?'

"This is ES-003, the Inquisitorverse. And it's a bad place for Quirk users."

'Please don't tell me they kill us?'

"I can pretend they don't if you wish."

'Really?'

"It's a Quirk universe where Europe has a stigma against Quirk users. Think your Dark Age of Quirks, but it never stopped. They call you Demon Touched, and well, they don't really like you."

'Then shouldn't we just leave?'

"Normally? Yes. But you want to fight All for One, right? In that case, this is the place for you. Those people fight and kill Quirk users as Quirkless all the time with sixteenth century technology. If you want to find someone that can help face All for One, this is the place."

'But would they help me?'

"I know a man that would." Izzzuku replied, "But it's really risky. And he is dangerous."

'Who is he?'

"The man that killed the All for One and One for All of this world. You."

-x-

My name is Isidro de la Valle Verde, hidalgo by blood and Commander General of the Caballeros Mata-Demonios de la Sacra Cruz, the Demon-Killing Knights of the Holy Cross.

When I was young, a Demon Touched entered my town leading a bandit group and slaughtered my people. For this reason, I joined the Caballeros. Despite my low noble rank, I passed the selection for the rank of initiate of the order and worked for twenty years my way up until I reached the role of Commander.

I have defeated and killed all Demon Touched that dared bring their wielding their demonic powers against the Empire, and in doing so I became known as el Caballero Verde Esmeralda, the Emeraldine Knight.

Until that day, I thought they were the enemy, and that was all, but I have learned much since then.

I'm Isidro de la Valle Verde, el Caballero Verde Esmeralda.

And there is nothing else I would rather be, despite all my mistakes.

Isidro took a sip of his wine and nodded, tasting its delicate after flavor. It was an excellent one, for sure. He sighed and started to examine the letters. Tens of them, all of the same kind: people denouncing the sighting of a Demon Touched. And it was his job to pass through them to see which were real and which were false, like that of all Commander Generals before him.

Each of them had their own unique approach. Some, like Isidro, were cautious and always made sure to not cause trouble to innocent folks. Other, crueler predecessor would just try to persecute everyone, but that was highly inefficient. According to the law, being Demon Touched by itself was not a crime punished by death, only committing any crime as a Demon Touched was. So, when someone declared a Demon Touched neighbor had stolen their farming tools, he had to weight the accusation against the obvious fact it might have just been a family feud.

'This would all be easier if you just stopped this absurd massacre like the Lands of the Demon Touched do.' A voice in his head said. He shook it and went back to work. The law was the law. A Demon Touched that commits a crime is sentenced to death, no matter how small the crime. It was their lot in life. Killing and thievery were one and the same for them, that was the only way to keep them in check.

'Excuses.' A second voice added, this one all too familiar.

"Shut up…" He muttered, grabbing more wine. "Damn him and that cursed blood drop. Is someone else going to try and torment me?"

"Hello Isidro!" A new voice shouted as a ghost appeared in his room, a skeleton with green hair appearing from the floor and standing in mid-air, it's head rotating.

Isidro didn't miss a beat. His sword moved elegantly out of the sheath and cleanly cut through the skull, leaving the upper portion to float aimlessly as the lower one scattered on the floor. Then there was a quiet laugh, and the floating head rotated, revealing a face he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Izzzuku." He said, groaning and sheathing back his sword, "Of course it's you. You realize that sneaking in this place is yet another crime for which you will be punished by death one day."

"And you do realize I told you Quirks and my powers are different things, right?"

"There is no distinction between a Demon Touched and a creature like you to me."

Izzzuku sighed, "Fine, fine. You know, you really are one of the most boring Izukus out there."

"What do you want, Izzzuku? I already made a deal with you and Isaac to hold the execution of anyone capable of teleporting or similar feats until after you examine them, which has caused more than a question from my subordinates in the last five years. We also have an agreement that if one of your protegees stumbles into my world, you get them out of here, so I don't see why you would show up again."

Izzzuku paused, staring at him slowly. "You are doing worse than last time."

"It's none of your business. Explain. Now."

"I have three protegees with me this time around, as you call them." Izzzuku begun, "And they want to meet you."

Isidro raised an eyebrow. Since he had found out about the existence of other worlds beyond his own, he had been admittedly curious of what those other worlds looked like, but his only experience with them so far had been Isaac and Izzzuku. The former was a warrior worth his salt, if his scars and muscles were any indication, and the latter was a nuisance. Still… "I'm the Commander General. People will ask questions if I just allow some weird people to enter our base."

"Don't then. We want you to come see them."

"Of course." He took a deep breath, "Why is that? I doubt they are thrilled to meet someone that for them is probably just a murderer."

"You could go easy on the executions, but it's not why they need you. It's Todos para Uno and Uno para Todos business, catch my drift?"

He froze, "Did you tell them?"

"It's not my role to share. For all they know, you are the man that killed One for All and All for One. Nothing more."

"Good." He walked back to his desk, "I take they want to deal with someone if they ask a hunter for help."

"Sharp as usual. Yes, there are some All for Ones closing trouble in another world. We want to ask for your help."

"Get some armor worth its salt, go for the head, don't think decapitation is enough and make sure to also chop the head into pieces… That sort of advice?"

"What else would we ask a hunter?"

"Of course. Fine, I'll meet them. Just tell me when and where, and promise you will leave afterwards."

Izzzuku grinned. Isidro felt like the man was having far too much fun with this.

-x-

My name is Izuku Midoriya, Hero name Canary, from the city of Musutafu, Japan.

When I was young, for a long while, I lost my ability to truly speak. I believed I was Quirkless, and my environment wasn't the best, so I… closed.

Ironic how different it would have been otherwise. I finally discovered my Quirk, Living Melody, in high school, and since then my life has never been the same.

It had ups and downs, but one thing remains true.

I am Canary, a Hero that brings happiness to the masses.

And there is nothing else I would rather be.

"Alright, are we all ready to go?" Canary asked, studying the six people surrounding him, "Did you take everything you needed?"

Everyone looked at their bags once more, before nodding, and he looked at each of them. Itsuka was stretching her legs in her red cheongsam, preparing to jump. The Green Scar was patting Dekiru on the back, who himself didn't seem much prepared for this. Canary couldn't blame him, really. While travelling the Multiverse was fun once you got the knack for it, the first few times it was scary. Of the two, honestly, the Green Scar's relaxation was the weirder reaction, but when he had asked Isaac he had shrugged and said that version of Izuku was 'a veteran of weird experiences'. It had made him curious, admittedly.

Of course, Spider-Man was the calmer one. He didn't have the same level of experience Canary had, but given his origins he was probably more prepared than most to this.

Then there were the other two. Itsumi was weird. Not as a person, but just the concept of him marrying a female Bakugo was… a thing. He had never put much thought into his love life, admittedly, so he couldn't really tell if he should have felt more than just the mild weirded out. Still, aside from that, she seemed a promising hero in training.

Ojiro, on the other hand was weird for the entirely different reason that he wasn't exactly the Ojiro he knew. The lack of a tail, the slightly more serious look in his eyes… All details that made him remember that he wasn't dealing with the same Tailman.

And well, there was the fact he was older, but that was at worst a slight hiccup in the Multiverse.

He nodded. "Very well. Itsuka, see you on the other side."

The woman nodded, and then brought her closed fists together. For a moment, a strong, warm wind emanated from her body and raised the temperature in the room. Then, she vanished. He waited a few moments, then nodded.

"Couldn't we have gone all together?" Itsumi asked.

"In theory, yes, but my power uses people as an anchor if I want to go in a precise Multiverse. It's safer to use Itsuka, that I know will be in the capital, than picking someone else without knowing what they might be doing. Trust me, I've caught people mid-shower, flying or mid-combat too many times. It's much better to know where your target is."

Itsumi nodded, and he smiled.

Singing was his favorite thing in the world. As the eighth member of their group, Siren, nested herself in his hair, Canary smiled and opened his mouth.

~Across the Multiverse – Dent May/Frankie Cosmos~

As usual, the song flew through his lips, the rhythm and lyrics natural like he had been the one that wrote it. It was a nice song, and one he was fond of for all the experiences it had allowed him to learn.

"Across the Multiverse, we collide…" At that second line, the portal opened. A hole in space flashing red, yellow, black and white, changing until it paused on a bright blue. At that point, he pointed forward, without stopping his song.

His first time across the Multiverse had been an accident. He had found the song while searching online, and of course the image that had come to mind had been that of a portal through the Multiverse. He couldn't imagine what the result would have been in that weird first voyage, as he tried to figure out how the power worked.

Really, it was remarkably easy, just think of a person, and you will appear next to her. "Across the Multiverse, you and I…" He sang, and really that was the point. Appearing next to someone. Of course, focusing was important. If he wasn't thinking about one specific person and truly concentrating on it, he would have just appeared next to a random alternate version of that person, which wasn't always a good thing. He had to fight an evil version of his friends a few too many times.

He watched as the last of the Wanderers walked through the portal, followed by Siren. And as he sang the last few lines, he walked through the portal.

-x-

Itsumi looked around. Apparently, Itsuka had decided to not teleport in the middle of the city, which made sense. It would have probably captured too much attention if she did, especially followed by Canary's rather large portal. Instead, they were on a hill in sight of the capital of Colfire, Hoice. The Castle was still there, standing on the top of the large hill they had fought under, surrounded by those streets and walls she had seen not long ago.

Man, it was weird to think it had been little over a week since they had left that world. Ten days, and it still seemed like ages ago.

He looked around at her companions. Ojiro, also staring at the city. Dekiru, looking around in awe. Itsuka, chuckling at… something. She paused and looked to her left, where Itsuka was looking.

"Izo?" She asked for a moment, before pausing. No, that wasn't him. It was… someone else.

"Sup." The Green Scar said. Except this wasn't the same Green Scar that had been on the other side of the portal. He had lost both the stubble and most of his wrinkles. The height and musculature was about the same, but the hair was a bit longer, and his clothes had also changed.

"You are the Green Scar?!" Itsumi asked, and the Green Scar laughed.

"Ah, it's nice to be back in my twenties." He said, and Itsumi realized why he had looked so familiar: he was about the same age as Izo.

"What happened to you?!" Ojiro asked, noticing the situation at around the same time. His shout came at the same time as Canary and Siren crossed the portal, that closed behind them. Canary was surprised and Siren even more, judging by her indignant pecking of the blonde's head.

"Oh this?" the now twenty-one years old looked at his own body, "Man I forgot how this felt… Well, see, back in my world, I'm in my forties in one dimension, and fifteen in another. That is not how time works – aging shouldn't reverse, after all – so clearly it's a magical effect." He chuckled, "Apparently, that magical effect goes a bit wild in the Multiverse, and starts aging me up and down according to the age of the Izuku of that universe. Though thankfully, it stops at fifteen minimum and forty-five maximum, otherwise, you would have met me as an octogenarian."

"How did you know that?"

"Because I was in my thirties when Isaac found me, reached his same age when we went to his universe, and once I landed in Mariah's universe, where Izuku died at eighty-seven years of age, I became forty-five, so we also found out about the maximum age." He grinned, "So it's back to the twenties for me, so long as I am around here."

"Is that a problem?" Canary asked.

"No, I already had all my Quirks, and my mind doesn't de-age, so everything I've learned is still there. It's just a problem if I go back all the way to my teen years." He looked at Itsumi and Ojiro, "That's why I haven't offered to help you yet. The guy is in Izuku's universe, right? That would put me physically more or less on his same level, not nearly as useful as I could be."

"Still pretty strong."

"Which is why I never said no at helping you." He winked, then cracked his neck and turned to Itsuka and Canary, "Should we go?"

"Sure." Itsuka nodded, taking the lead, while Canary and the others followed in group. As they approached the city, the population looked at them curiously, most likely because, unlike last time, they weren't blending in as much. Itsumi noticed "We are going to meet up with Atura first, get any news, and then from there go to the castle. They would then convince the King or the Prince to give them the prisoners, and try to figure out a way for them to be delivered back to their worlds safely, in the meanwhile keeping them in the cells of the Headquarters.

With that in mind, they made their way up to Atura's house. As they walked, Itsumi noticed a weird tension on the street. It was like the first day they arrived. Where the people still worried about what had happened, after ten days? They seemed to be already recovering before they left.

She put aside the thoughts, and they reached Atura's lab, finding it in the same disorderly condition it had been when they first saw it, the garden scattered with metal pieces. Itsumi was the one that knocked at the door, and soon after Atura opened.

"Itsumi?"

"Surprise!" She said, before noticing her surprise morph in a mixture or relief and… sadness? That didn't seem right. Itsumi waited a moment, then asked, "What is it?"

It was like turning a switch on. "Itsumi, we need your help!" she shouted, grabbing her, before looking around and realizing who her companions where, "All of you? That's… amazing! We will need your help! Oh, if only you arrived earlier…"

"What, what is it Atura?! What's going on?!"

"It's Arkin!" She pointed to the castle, "Three nights ago, his remaining summons attacked the castle, that Claw and the bat monster. We thought he wouldn't dare, or that he would run, I guess, I wasn't the one that took the decisions, but he did! We forgot he had a mole - that was Tenro by the way, the bastard! They freed most of the prisoners, they killed a lot of people, they… they killed Kikora!" Itsumi's breath caught in her throat, at the thought of the elf girl. She had been so kind and friendly to her, and now she was…

And then she realized why she would have died, why Arkin would have gone out of the way to target her. Or the person she was guarding.

"They took Kai back!"

Itsumi's knees hit the ground.

(xx)

Oh boy, here we go again.

The Skyverse is an example of why Izzzuku is there. It's not fun to end up falling through the sky until you hit a super-dense sphere, certainly. Of course, if Nana could just make Float available, it wouldn't have been an issue, but alas, no exploration of a world of flying fortresses for our characters.

Instead, we jump to Spain. The Inquisitorverse is a peculiar one. Considering there are only three Spanish universes, I figured I would go for the one that is interesting to explore. Isidro actually shares the name with the Berserk character, which is something I didn't realize until I reread and realized why the name felt familiar. But it was already done, and I wanted to switch from Isaac for once as alternate Izukus go.

And then, we move to our mission to the Fantasyverse. Oh boy, that one was something I've been waiting to deal with for a while. I'm glad I got to write our first Canary pov, and of course, I got to introduce the Green Scar's rather unique mechanic, but man things went south there afterwards.
