"I myself am... strange and unusual."

– Lydia Deetz (Beetlejuice)


A little over a century ago, the world was a place of normalcy. On July 7th, 2014, an impossible incident had happened. A baby was born with the power to shine brightly. Soon after, these powers started popping up everywhere and were quickly named Quirks.

Over time, normal became the abnormal and the world was filled with heroes, villains, and superpowers. Wars happened, new laws were passed in the quick ascendence of Quirks, chaos was everywhere. It happened so fast in the first two generations of this new age, that the chaos and fear quickly gave way to an era of chaotic peace.

Each new generation, the Quirks became stronger, the heroes became flashier, the world became more chaotic. As of this year, 2118, Generation Epsilon–the 5th Generation in the age of Quirks–is the strongest and biggest generation.

Fumikage and Chiyo are the twin children of Tokoyami Isamu and Tokoyami Tobikuma. The small goth family of four are considered outcasts in society.

Tokoyami Isamu is a talented nurse who has the head and talons of a raven and has a passive Quirk that always keeps a calming aura around him. He was estranged from his family after transitioning and marrying Tobikuma.

Tokoyami Tobikuma is an architect who has the wings of a raven and uses his shadow manipulation Quirk to create models of his designs. He avoids his family and ignores the constant attempts of them trying to take his hard-earned wealth.

Tokoyami Fumikage is the oldest twin who is striving to become a hero, has the head of a raven and has a sentient Quirk considered "villainous". He loves his parents and sister and ignores anyone else's opinions about his family.

Tokoyami Chiyo is the youngest who is also striving to become a hero, has the talons and wings of a raven, and has the same "villainous" sentient Quirk Fumikage has. She would die for her small family and doesn't care what anyone thinks about her as long as her family loves her.

It was quite a strange day when Fumikage and Chiyo were taking the next step into becoming heroes.


"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" A large black shadow impatiently flies around the bathroom. Chiyo rolls her bright red eyes, not pausing her makeup routine.

"We have thirty minutes, Grim," Chiyo thinks, smiling when she finally gets her eyeliner right. She inspects herself in the mirror, making sure everything looked alright.

Her black eyeliner was sharp and even on both sides, a dark red eyeshadow dusting her eyelids. Her lips were painted a matte black, gold snake bite piercings shining in the light. She had a black bridge piercing, and three eyebrow piercings. Two were gold rings on the end of her right eyebrow and the last was black near the middle of her left. There was six piercings in her ears. There are three lobe piercings–one gold on the left and the other two on the right–two black upper helix piercings on the right ear, and a gold industrial piercing on the left.

"Chiyo~! Wanna see Shohei-kun!" The manifested shadow whines, twirling around the 15 year old. Chiyo rolls her eyes and fixes her UA jacket, ruffling her wings.

"You seem to love my boyfriend more than I do, Grim," Chiyo teases, running a hand through her short hair. Grimoire squawks loudly, pushing Chiyo out of the bathroom.

"Hey, hey!" The goth exclaims, stumbling to catch her balance. "Grab my bag."

Grimoire grabs Chiyo's satchel and floats out of the bedroom. Chiyo rolls her eyes with a smile and follows after her Quirk.

"Fumi-chan, you better be up!" Chiyo sings, skipping into her twin brother's room. She leans to the side, a dagger hitting the wall across his door.

"Please do not humiliate me when we meet our peers, Chiyo," Fumikage says, walking past Chiyo and grabbing the dagger.

"Don't barge in on your brother, Chiyo!" Isamu calls from downstairs.

"Chi~! Help!" Oda Shohei, Chiyo's boyfriend and childhood friend, shouts after Isamu. Chiyo smiles brightly and turns around. She skips down the stairs, leaning over the railing.

Shohei was trapped in a giant hug from Grimoire, arms pinned to his sides. His long hair was disheveled and he glared irritably at the shadow monster.

"Hi, Sho. How do I look?" Chiyo says, showing off her school uniform. The only things different about it is the skirt tailored longer, her tie being loose, and her specialized shoes for her talons.

"I'll answer once Grimoire stops suffocating me," Shohei says, making Chiyo roll her eyes.

"Grimoire." Grimoire squawks dejectedly, slowly releasing his hold on Chiyo's boyfriend and returning into her. Shohei fixes his Shiketsu High School uniform and gives Chiyo a lazy grin.

"You'd look better in Shiketsu's uniform," Shohei shrugs. Chiyo pouts and leans on the railing.

"Tragic that our fantasy of being in love at a school that forbids relationships will remain an image," Chiyo sighs, laying a hand across her forehead dramatically.

"What a mad banquet of darkness," Fumikage adds into the conversation, walking past Chiyo and into the kitchen.

"Hey Fumikage-kun," Shohei greets with a raise hand. Fumikage hums back.

"Your brother seriously doesn't like me," Shohei says quietly, silver eyes narrowing. Chiyo waves a dismissing hand.

"He's just upset you helped me beat him in Mortal Kombat," Chiyo says while walking up to her boyfriend. "He's also overprotective."

The two walk into the kitchen while holding hands. Chiyo smiles at her dads as they do their morning routine. Isamu was packing her and Fumikage's lunch while humming cheerfully to himself and Tobikuma sat on the counter, messing with one of his shadow building models while drinking an energy drink.

"We'll be having celebratory dinner tonight, so keep your usual existential brooding short!" Isamu says with a bright smile, handing his children their lunches. Chiyo smiles back just as bright and hugs him.

"I'll make sure to drag Fumi-chan from his room, Dad! Good luck with your client, Papa!" The raven girl says, waving at her focused other father. He hums distractedly, waving back without looking up from his model.

"Didn't you already have celebratory dinner a few weeks ago?" Shohei asks with furrowed eyebrows.

"Dad loves to party. Walk with us to the station?" Chiyo asks with hopeful eyes.

"No," Fumikage says, making his twin roll her eyes.

"It's not cheating. You never said asking for help was against the rules! Stop being so salty," The goth points out while the three walk out of the house.

"I've got to go the opposite way," Shohei points to the right. Chiyo pouts standing on her tips of her talons and giving him a peck on the lips.

"Make lots of friends so I can show off my awesomeness, okay?" Chiyo says while Shohei places his hands on her hips. He smiles softly and kisses her.

"'course," Shohei says, making Chiyo beam and trill.

"We'll be late," Fumikage states. Chiyo rolls her eyes and kisses Shohei one more time before getting out of his hold.

"Okay, okay," Chiyo links her arm with her brother's and walks to the left, waving goodbye. Shohei waves back before turning and walking the opposite direction.

"I still don't get why you hate him so much," Chiyo says with a scowl. Fumikage avoids her glare by playing on his phone.

"Can I not protect my younger sister from suspicious men who may take advantage of her kindness?" The raven asks, making the shorter girl scoff.

"You've known him since we started dating two years ago. How is he still suspicious?" Chiyo asks, unlinking their arms and crossing her own. Fumikage sighs and just rolls his eyes.

"Must I always give an explanation for my suspicions?" He asks irritably. Chiyo rolls her eyes and walks a bit faster. They keep walking in silence, Chiyo staring around the scenery and Fumikage staring at his phone.

"...I thought I'm the twin who believes in conspiracy theories."

Fumikage chuckles and Chiyo smiles softly. Grimoire and Dark Shadow come out and cheerfully squawk at each other while the twins walk towards the station.


Sublime Boyfriend: "Date this Friday?"

Raven Badass: "I would love to."

Chiyo quickly hides her bright smile and pockets her phone. She flaps her wings and turns to Fumikage.

"You're so nervous~!" Chiyo teases the silent goth, grinning sweetly. Fumikage rolls his eyes, fixing his jacket sleeves.

"That is completely fallacious. Where is the evidence for this theory?" Fumikage denies heavily, ignoring how Dark Shadow was snickering while she played patty cake with Grimoire.

"Well, you are fidgeting. And you haven't engaged in conference with me when I discussed going to the witch shop for you," Chiyo states, Fumikage staying quiet.

"You're acting like you are not apprehensive as well," Fumikage retorts, making Chiyo avert her gaze while messing with one of her rings.

"No matter what," Chiyo links one of her arms with Fumikage's, "we're stuck together."

"I hope we are not ostracized then. I do not want to be stuck for eternity with you," Fumikage deadpans, not unlinking their arms. Chiyo smiles cheekily, nudging her twin brother's side.

"You'll never get rid of me!" She exclaims cheerfully, Grimoire resting his head on her shoulder.

"Me neither!" Grimoire squawks, making Chiyo laugh.

"How have I become so ill-fated?" Fumikage sighs dramatically. Dark Shadow pats his head, nodding her head solemnly.

Chiyo giggles at the action before she notices the foreboding building of UA High School. She gasps in awe, her eyes widening.

"Wow," The goth girl breathes out, walking a bit slower in awe.

"I doubt I will ever get tired of this view," She says softly, her wings flapping slightly. Fumikage hums in agreement, also staring up at their new school.

"What a mad banquet of darkness," The raven agrees.

Chiyo inspects their surroundings, seeing other teenagers in the same uniform walking into the school grounds. She frowns slightly, her feathers fluffing up.

"Maybe we should ride our bikes to school. We would be able to avoid people," Chiyo comments as they are slowly pulled into the middle of a crowd of UA students. She purposely ignores the large empty circle surrounding her and her brother.

"But, Shohei-kun~!" Grimoire whines, crossing his arms. Chiyo rolls her eyes at her Quirk's obsession with her boyfriend.

"He doesn't visit in the mornings. Today was an exception, Grim," Chiyo retorts, making Grimoire go back into her to pout.

"So dramatic," Chiyo sighs with another eye roll. Fumikage snorts quietly, taking out his phone.

"Who do you think he learned it from?" The raven states calmly. He grunts in surprise when one of Chiyo's wings hits him upside the head.

"Completely false. He watched too many of those dramas," She defends herself, Fumikage rolls his eyes.

"You watch too much of that absolute garbage," He mutters, dodging Chiyo's wing this time. "You watch too much of those conspiracy theory documentaries too."

WHACK

"You aren't denying it, Chiyo."

"I'll start denying that I pushed you down the stairs to Papa when we go home."

"...We are in Class 1-A, correct?"


Hey! Hope you like the new chapter!

Background information:

1. I don't know where it is on the internet, but I think(?) it's canon that Dark Shadow is a girl, and tbh, I love that.

a. So, Dark Shadow is a girl and Grimoire is a boy.

b. I did opposite genders because of the (POSSIBLY) canon information of Dark Shadow being a girl and Tokoyami is obviously a boy, so Grimoire is a boy while Chiyo is a girl.


Hope you like the story so far! Bye!
