Yelling, cursing, and screaming. Those were the things that Izuku could hear. His mind felt foggy, like he had just woken up. That desire to just go back to sleep until the fog would clear hit him hard.

Izuku tried to move, his limbs felt like he was moving in molasses, slow and sluggish.

He looked up when a particular scream caused him to snap to attention.

There another Izuku stood. This Izuku had white hair that was pin straight that just grazed passed his shoulders. Because his head was turned, Izuku couldn't see this other Izuku's eye color.

'Red. their eyes are red.' He thought with a strange knowing.

This other him had a grown man in his grip. The man was sickly-looking. Pale and frail. He also had white straight hair, the same as the other Izuku. "What's the matter, Uncle? I figured you of all people would be happy that such a quirk got passed on to family."

"Leave-" Izuku took a step forward, but as mentioned before his limbs felt heavy and his movement reflected that. "Stop-" He whimpered. His voice felt weak and way too quiet.

"Dammit-" The man hissed as he tried to grasp and claw on the other Izuku's wrist. He tried to free himself, to get away from the crazed Izuku.

"Oh, Uncle, if it's any consolation, I never expected this either. You can thank Toshinori for this outcome. I'm sure if he never handed over One for all I never would have gotten strong enough to take over."

The man gasped out as the other Izuku tightened his grip on the man's neck. "Don't worry, Uncle dear. I'm not going to do anything to hurt you. Like you and your lackeys have tried to do to me. I'm just going to lock you away in that vault you guys love so much-"

"Stop!" Izuku found his voice. It was loud and echoed all around them. It was more than enough for the other Izuku to slowly turned to look at him. Sure enough, the other Izuku did have red colored eyes.

"Oh. You're awake. Shame, it looks like my time is coming to an end. Don't worry, all I have to do is lock this one away-"

"No! Put him down!" Izuku demanded.

The other him didn't exactly look impressed. He rose a white eyebrow in Izuku's direction. "Are you not aware of what he and the others have been trying to do?"

"Put. Him. Down." Izuku approached despite the slow feeling in his limbs.

"Given the chance, he'll kill you- kill us!"

Izuku didn't back down even as he was face-to-face with his other self. He then reached and grabbed the wrist of the other him. "Release him." He now snarled into a mirror of his own face.

"...Urg." The other him rolled his eyes. "You're no fun." Then he dropped the adult man to the ground.

The man fell to his side and groaned in pain. The other Izuku immediately rounded on him and slapped Izuku's hand off of him. "You are aware they would have killed us last night if I haven't had stopped them, right?"

"Them?"

"Yeah, the seven and a half of them. The other holders of One for all. Once they became aware of my presence they turned on you- on us like a pack of wolves. They want us dead." The other him grabbed him by his shoulders and forced Izuku to look into his red eyes. "I can't hold them off forever, so I locked them away in their precious vault for the time being with no way to escape-"

At that the man that the other Izuku had in his grip got up and rushed at the other Izuku-

The other Izuku sensed this, turned and shot a fire ball in the man's direction nearly hitting the man in the face as white hot flames licked his cheek. "Ah!" The man gasped as he grabbed on to his face in shock.

Izuku grabbed his otherself and pushed him back. He then placed himself between the man and himself. The man known as 'One.' "Enough!" Izuku yelled as he extended his arms out so if his otherself attack, it would only attach him. "You're not hurting One!"

"Yoichi Shigaraki. Also known as our Uncle."

"Shiga…Shigaraki? Like Tomura Shigaraki? Are you also his uncle or his father?"

"Tomachan…I wonder how he's doing." The other Izuku gives a grin like hes reliving a memory. "I hope he's not still angry when I took his decay without his permission and used it to destroy his memory card."

"You need to listen to me, Nine," Yoichi whispered into Izuku's ear. "That is your quirk. We need you to control it. It's too dangerous."

"Control it. I didn't even know I had it. What even is that thing?-" A fireball whizzed right by Izuku's face. The heat licked his face but didn't hit him. Izuku froze as he looked at the fireball that was now smoltering on the ground just a few feet away.

"I am not a thing!" The other him full on snarled as he took a step forward towards the both of them; his face twisted in anger. Izuku acted on instinct as he wrapped his arms around Yoichi in an attempt to keep the man, his uncle, safe. Though it was kind of worthless as Yoichi was taller than Izuku. "I am you. Don't you get that! We are one in the same!"

"Okay. Okay. You're not a thing…" Izuku nodded frantically, keeping his eyes on the other him's hands that were glowing threateningly. He swallowed hard and sucked in a breath. "I apologize."

"Good…"

Izuku swallowed hard as he looked at the other him. He then looked at Yoichi. "How dangerous is he?" Izuku whispered lowly.

"If you don't get rid of him, he'll destroy everything you ever loved. Your father, your brother, your friends. All gone."

Izuku looked back at the other him.

One for all activated and Izuku rushed at the other him. The other Izuku smirked. "Oh? It's going to be like that?"

Then the other him was gone. Izuku didn't even have time to stop; as the next thing he knew the wind was taken clean out of his legs as the other him kicked him directly in the back.

The two of them skidded on the ground before the other him grabbed him by his throat. The same he had Yoichi only moments before. "Did you forget that I have all the quirks you have!? In fact, I have more quirks than you!"

Izuku couldn't breathe. Not with the other him having Izuku by the throat. The other Izuku squeezed. Izuku couldn't even gasp out.

'I didn't want to have to do this…but I'll just have to break his arm!' Izuku tried to focus his object attraction quirk on the bone in the other him's arms.

Nothing happened.

Izuku was starting to feel dizzy from lack of oxygen.

"...Oh! You're trying to use that Object attraction quirk on me? Is that it? Oh. How cute. That quirk was never yours! It's officially mine as I was the one who took it. Same with the fire quirk. In the outside world you can use them. But when we're separated in here you only have one quirk. Meanwhile; I have three! We both share One for all, but I still have Endeavor's quirk and Mom's quirk!"

"W-..." Izuku vision started to tunnel.

"Surprised? Did you really think that object attraction quirk was yours? That it just popped out of nowhere? No, you took it when you were cleaning that beach. You wanted an easier way to clean, so, you took mom's quirk subconsciously. What's funny is, you didn't even know who she was when you took it! Then Toshichan got wise and wiped our memory again. I was so close to coming out that night. I guess it doesn't matter- If you take a step closer I will end you, Uncle!" The other him screamed as he turned towards Yoichi who was trying to sneak up on them.

Red tendrils shot from the other Izuku and surrounded Yoichi, threatening to impale him. Yoichi froze.

"Plea-ple-" Izuku felt his eyes start to roll into the back of his head. He was going to pass out.

"Izuku! Izuku! Just hang on!" His father's voice cut through the air making Yoichi and the other him stop and look up.

The whole world they were in started to shake and crumble around them.

"You need to let him go! Killing him will destroy the place and destroy you in the process!" Yoichi barked aggressively at the other Izuku.

The other Izuku looked at him and made a bit of a face. "If he goes I go…" He almost seemed to muse on the thought. "Tempting…but…I haven't had any fun yet… all thanks to Toshichan. When I get free, I'm taking his quirk and not giving it back."

The whole place continued to shake and crumble, Izuku's grip started to go slack. His body slowing down as his head moved back on it's own. 'Not like this… please, not like this-'

"Ugh. God, I never get to do anything!"

Suddenly Izuku was on the floor coughing while tears fell from his eyes. Yoichi was by his side in a second, the red tendrils gone now while the other Izuku stomped around in anger.

Izuku wheezed pitifully as Yoichi patted him on the back. "Are you okay?" Yoichi asked softly. Izuku responded by coughing and sucking in several fast greedy breaths.

"I hate you." Izuku suddenly snarled at his otherself.

The other Izuku stopped his tantrum and looked at Izuku out of the corner of his red colored eye.

"You're cruel and selfish! You're nothing like me at all! If I would have known you were my quirk I would have preferred to be quirkless! In fact. You're right. You're not a thing. You're an it!" The more Izuku screamed at his otherself the more he was agitating the quirk. Izuku watched as those red eyes shrunk into angry pin pricks.

"You think I want you as my host! You're weak! Your body is so weak that if I take over you get sick!" The other him started to approach. A dark aura about him. He meant business and Izuku pushed Yoichi back reflexively.

"What are you doing?!" Yoichi hissed to Izuku.

"If he kills me, he'll die. Then so be it-"

"One for all-"

"-Will die with me. I don't understand much, I hardly remember, but if he were to die and one for all is gone then…everything should be okay again, right?"

"I-!" It was right as Yoichi spoke did the other Izuku attack. A spark of red lightning all that was left behind. Izuku braced himself-

"Zuchan, don't do this, I can't lose you too!"

The second Izuku paused as did Izuku.

"Toshichan."

"Hichan…"

"Clear!"

Izuku gasped; his eyes shooting open as volts of electricty ran through his entire system.

"He's stabilizing!"

Izuku looked at everyone surrounding him. A doctor holding a defibrillator, a couple of nurses standing by. Then there were his friends and family. All of them with tears in their eyes, their faces worried-stricken.

"Hey, buddy… can you tell me your name?" The doctor asked as he swiftly shone a light into Izuku's eyes.

Izuku squinted against the light as he breathed in an out heavily. "I-Izuku Aizawa…" Izuku whispered softly as the doctor moved the light to his other eye.

"Good, and your birthday?"

"July first…"

"Great. Just great, buddy- Monitor him, make sure his heart-rate stays normal for the rest of the day." The doctor handed a clipboard to the nurse.

"Yes, sir."

"What…what happened?" Izuku whispered as he touched at his head.

Hitoshi and his father wrapped him up in a hug. The hug was tight, but not too tight. Hitoshi let out a soft cry. "Don't scare us like that!" Hitoshi whimpered.

"Your heart-..." His father went quiet, swallowed hard, and then tried again. "-Your heartbeat became irregular while you slept-" His father was the first to let go of Izuku. "It just happened so suddenly-"

Hitoshi shook violently against Izuku. "-Your breathing stopped. It just stopped-"

Todoroki came up next and gently sat on the end of Izuku's bed. He was gentle as he took Izuku's hand. "Iida ran out to get a doctor when he did this you had a seizure." He whispered while his hand shook against Izuku's own. "It was like the USJ all over again. Only, this time I actually got to witness it… I… like All Might said after the USJ… I thought you were going to die."

"We all did…" Iida added in a scared whisper. "It just happened out of nowhere…"

"..." Izuku sucked in a slow breath.

Hitoshi tightened his grip on his brother, not wanting to let go even for a second.

His mind flashed back to his fight with his otherself. The otherself that had him in a death grip. The one that would have killed him probably if not for Hitoshi's voice breaking through. 'Hitoshi is the only thing we can agree on it seems. I nearly gave them all up… how could be so selfish?'

"I'm sorry." He whispered to his friends and family alike. Then, he returned Hitoshi's hug in full.

"Why are you apologizing?" Shouta asked as he sat on the other side of the bed. Aizawa was gentle as he flicked some of Izuku's curls out of his eyes.

Izuku shrugged as tears threatened to perk behind his eyes. "I'm…I'm just sorry for worrying all of you. I seem to be doing that a lot nowadays." his mouth twitched into a frown before he corrected himself.

"It'll be okay." Shouta comforted his son. "We'll get you tested seeing how this is your second seizure. I pray you don't develop epilepsy, but even if you do it's not the end of the world. We can work around it."

'But it wasn't epilepsy… it's the other me. If he attacks me in that dream world we were in, then it seems to effect me out here.' Izuku thought as he looked down at his hands. He looked at his dad for a moment. 'Do I tell him? Would he even believe me? No…don't worry him anymore than you already have. Maybe later but not now.'

"So…I take it we won against Stain?" Izuku asked softly. There was a moment when everyone looked at one another before looking back at him.

"You…you don't remember?" Todoroki asked a little defeated.

Izuku only looked at him with a head tilt. Everyone around him sighed. Everyone except Hitoshi, who just looked confused as his brow furrowed a little. Izuku swallowed hard as he tried to think about the fight with Stain. He remembered Stain kicking him into a wall and then-

-There was a brief flash in Izuku's mind. Him cackling while coming up behind Stain, kicking the villain square in the back was as much force as he could muster without harming himself.

Izuku grabbed on to his face. He grabbed right at his left eye as it felt like an ice pick was drilling itself through his brain. "I-..."

"Don't hurt yourself." Shouta whispered as he grabbed on to Izuku's wrist.

Izuku looked at his father. "I…kind of remember." He whispered softly to his father.

"That's good, but again, don't hurt yourself over it."

"What happened to Stain?"

Both Iida and Todoroki groaned in frustration. "Well, just earlier today we got a visit from the chief of police. Be happy you were asleep." Iida moved a little so he was sitting a little more comfortably. "Todoroki nearly fought him."

"Which was foolish and if we were in school right now I'd punish you for it." Shouta lightly snarled in Todoroki's direction.

Todoroki blushed in embarrassment. "I am not proud, but I was heated. He made it seem like what we did was wrong."

"It was and should all be ashamed of yourselves." Shouta suddenly growled from his spot by Izuku. "You all could have gotten hurt, or worse killed. Iida, you're a smart boy, but you let your emotions get the better of you. You could have died if not for Izuku and Todoroki showing up. This is not what your brother wants. You have to know that."

"I apologize." Iida bowed his head in shame. "I know what I did was wrong and the last thing I ever wanted was for anybody else to get hurt because of my actions. Todoroki, Izuku…I hope you can forgive me." Iida stood and bowed to them.

"Of course we can." Izuku said softly. "I'm just glad we got there before it got worse."

"Agreed." Todoroki nodded towards Iida. "I'm glad you're okay, for the most part." He put his hand on Iida's shoulder gently.

"Good…now to you two!" Shouta now snarled as he focused on Izuku and Todoroki alike. Izuku froze while a small 'eep!' left his mouth. He reached over and grabbed on to Todoroki's hand in shock and fear. Todoroki responded in kind and together they interlocked their fingers tightly.

Hitoshi seemed to glide up beside his father and had both of his hands on his hips and a stern look on his face. He was just there for intimidation alone.

"Do you two know how worried Mic and I were when we returned to the train and you two weren't there?! Do you know how scared we were when you only texted your location and didn't pick up your phone?!"

Izuku lowered his gaze. "It was me. I convinced Todoroki to come along. Please, if you're going to punish anyone, punish me!"

"Oh, I plan to." Shouta huffed matter-of-factly. "Todoroki still went along with you therefore he will also receive punishment."

Todoroki lowered his head and flinched like he was expecting to be hit.

Shouta blinked at this and his tough exterior vanished in the blink of an eye. "I-No, Todoroki. No. I don't hit. What I mean by punishment is that I'm going to run you into the ground with exercise, but I don't hit."

"Be prepared for suicide runs-" Izuku whispered to Todoroki and his father's aura darkened.

"Do you think Mic isn't going to give you the same treatment, Izuku?" His father grinned that sadistic grin. Izuku only squeaked in fear. "You both nearly lost us our teaching license, so you can both expect to be run to the ground."

Hitoshi came up to Izuku and in a very Iida like fashion he chopped Izuku's head with the side of his hand. "Ow! Ow!" Izuku whined when Hitoshi chopped harder the second time.

"I was worried sick about you and you go and do this! You went up against the Hero Killer! Dad doesn't hit, but I do!-"

"Ow! Ow! Ow! OW!" Izuku wasn't prepared for the onslaught of chops his head was going to receive. Hitoshi scrunched his nose up once he was done.

Izuku whined and rubbed the top of his head with a frown and several new sore bumps. Hitoshi then walked away back to Shouta's side. He went back to staring sternly at Izuku and Todoroki alike.

"Yes, well…thankfully neither Mic nor I got our teaching license suspended. You both will be thanking Hawks for sticking up for not just you guys but us as well."

"What did he do?" Izuku inquired.

"Hawks stuck up for you guys for starters, but because there were little to no witnesses to the whole situation, he…well… he took the credit for capturing Stain." Hitoshi answered next. "He didn't have a choice. If you guys took the credit then Dad and Mic would have lost their license and you guys would have been arrested for vigilantism. If Dad and Mic would have taken the credit then it would have hurt their credit as UA teachers because they allowed their students/interns to face off against the hero killer.

"So, Hawks took the credit for catching Stain. It not only helps his credit as a spotlight hero, but it also gives a credible story. That the hero killer actually cornered you guys, forcing you to fight. Hawks swooped in last minute and saved the day." Hitoshi rubbed at the back of his head a little awkwardly. "Tokoyami and I stayed on a nearby roof and didn't engage. So, yeah, we were all scoured from the story basically. You guys weren't named and neither Tokoyami and I aren't even going to be mentioned."

Izuku shut his eyes as he thought about it. "...It's for the best." He finally said after thinking about it.

"I agree." Iida joined in. "Not only is it what we deserve, but this way nobody gets hurt or in trouble."

"That's exactly what I was thinking, Iida."

"I'm only going to say this once. You five are lucky. Yes, Hitoshi this includes you and Tokoyami. Hawks gave you two an order and you both disobeyed. This could have ended worse, one of you- or all of you- could have died! You could have been imprisoned, or, I could have lost my job. I expect better in the future. Much better."

"Yes, Sensei!" All four of them shouted.

"Hey…where is Tokoyami?" Izuku questioned softly as he looked at his brother.

"With Hawks. Hawks let me stay with you until you recovered. So, I need to thank him for that." Hitoshi rubbed at the back of his head.

"What's funny is, you didn't even know who she was when you took it! Then Toshichan got wise and wiped our memory again."

Izuku looked at his twin, his brother, his protector. The words the other him had spewed in his anger. 'Had Hichan actually wiped my memory?...No…No. Hichan would never. That other me was just trying to get under my skin… right? He might not have even meant Hitoshi… he could have meant someone else…

Right?"

"Zuchan?" Hitoshi softly spoke as he tilted his head. "Is everything okay?" He then smiled a small little smile.

Izuku offered a wobbly smile in return. "Y-Yeah… everything is fine… it's just…Toshichan?"

Hitoshi's smile dropped. His eyes quickly started to scan Izuku like he was looking for something out of the ordinary. 'Like white hair…'

"Toshichan? That's a new one. When did that nickname start?" His father asked as he crossed one leg over the other. Hitoshi flinched when his father said the new nickname.

"... I guess it must have slipped. Sorry." Izuku waved his brother off and looked away from Hitoshi.

Izuku could feel Hitoshi's gaze on him. For a moment they locked eyes.

Hitoshi blanched because he knew. He knew that Izuku now knows.

And Izuku had nothing to say to his brother any longer.
