Most of you were probably expecting the evil cycle to come this chapter...well you'll have to wait one more week on that, there's just just a few things we need to cover before then, so enjoy this extra long chapter!


"Happy welcome back party, Izuku-kun!" The scene Izuku walked into was Sullivan shouting this, banners everywhere as the old man clotheslined him for a hug. Opera giving a monotone clap he couldn't tell was sarcastic or not, and his mother looked exasperated.

"Grandpa, this is the fifth party this week." Izuku deadpanned at the man's behavior. "I get that you missed me but don't you think this is a little overboard?"

"Pish posh, there's nothing that I wouldn't do after that horrible woman took away my little Izuku-kun for so long!" Huh, so it was possible for Grandpa to hate someone. Then again, he's only ever seen the side of him that's constantly giving affection to either him or his mother.

"Grandpa, Ameri is one of my friends, besides the position was always going to be temporary." He thought maybe at some point he could join again, maybe at his third or fourth year at Bablys, but he couldn't think much about it with his Mom giving him a teasing look.

"Another lady friend?" Inko asked with a sly grin. No, not again!

"Mom, it's not like that! She's a friend, we just read together sometimes!" He couldn't escape misunderstanding even in his own home.

"What do you read?"

"First Love Memories." He said with a slap on his mouth the moment he finished. He was used to lying at school, he didn't really have anything to lie about at home, at least now with Kachaan and the other's no longer tormenting him.

"So a romance manga? Are you sure nothing is going on?" She asked, and now he realized this was going to be a consistent new torture. Please Kachan, kill him now.

"Oh, speaking of friends, they never got the chance to celebrate your return!" Actually they did, it consisted of Eiko and Clara fighting each other over who would make the 'return to Battler' cake and Azz accidentally blowing it up when one of the candles turned out to be a fuse.

"Oh, why don't you invite them over to hang out?" Mom asked. "Like a sleepover, or at least until it gets late. They could join the party this time."

"That sounds amazing!" Grandpa exclaimed as he stood up. "A chance to show off to Izuku-kuns friends! Oh, so many faces to spoil, it'll be great."

"Shall I prepare the party lights and games? Or the campfire where we can tell traumatizing tales of the occult?" Opera put on a party hat with no hint of irony coming from him.

"Guys, you're really blowing it out of proportion. We hang out enough at school, no need to overwhelm them or give myself the chance to humiliate myself in front of the only real friends I have." The three adults raised an eyebrow at his pessimistic tone. "What, this is the kind of situation I have nightmares about."

"Izuku, Katsuki is no longer a part of our lives." His mother calmly reaffirmed. "I've met your group of friends, believe me, I can tell their good people to keep around. Even Azz is a good friend, if he's had to put up with that crazy mom all this time." She grumbled about the last part.

"And besides, the best case scenario is that the night goes excellent, the probable case is that Master Sullivan humiliates himself." Opera ignored the shout of indignation from the man in question. "The worst case is that they tease you for all the posters in your room."

Izuku blinks on that. Shoot, his room, he needs to put everything in the closet! "Alright, I'll call them, just, try and keep it mellow." He got up to leave. "And don't expect a big turnout. I'm sure they're all very busy right now."


The turnout was literally everyone. Specifically, it was all the members of the young Master's Battler. They would've personally extended the invite to some of his other class members, but maybe that would be putting too much pressure on Izuku. There was a fine line when it came to serving and teasing in this house.

"This house is so big!" Valac shouted with wide eyes. "You have stairs, you have windows bigger than my body! You have lights!"

"Seriously, how bad is your home life, that's just normal house decor." Asmodeus reprimanded. "Like the chandeliers and golden platting."

"Okay you both have very warped perceptions of normality." Eiko spoke as she glanced at the two. "Especially you, Azz. You could learn a lesson or two in humility from Izu! You don't hear him brag about his home life."

"Being in the group alone is a humbling experience." Gaako spoke with an eyeroll. So many colorful demons. Maybe Izuku intentionally ran into oddballs to make up for his supposed 'plain' looks. Nonsense, he was adorable when he dressed like that blonde bunny hero.

"Guy's, you came, yay." Izuku weakly roared. Being in the Student Council must've been more draining than he expected. This party now was absolutely necessary. That's what they would tell the young Master at least.

"Of course we did, I'll go anywhere you go, Izu-kun!" Eiko cheered.

"I'm not missing the chance for some fun games." Clara gave an impish smile.

"And it was either come willingly or my mother comes alone. I feel I made the right call."

"I mostly came because I had no other plans." Gaako gave a shrug. "It was this or stuff some mushrooms and stars in floating bricks." Everyone gave her a look. "My dad has some weird hobbies."

"Is your dad..nope. I'm already questioning reality enough as it is, I'm not going to break my brain anymore than I need to." Izuku groaned. So stressed. The boy really needed to let loose a little. "Alright, come in, and don't mind Grandpa, he's a bit over-caring at times."

The boy was proved right as all the lights cut out, following a spotlight shining down on Master Sullivan with a top hat, dancing shoes, and a cane purely meant for appearances. "Welcome to my humble abode." He let himself fall on the floor, only to roll and come back up standing as straight as ever. "So nice to see the adorable faces my beloved Izuku-kun has gone on and one about! You've really brought a nice shining smile to his face, it's just too cute for this world to handle!" Sullivan buried his hand in Izuku's hair in endless ruffling.

The boy himself grabbed his own face, likely to muffle a scream. Don't worry, clearly they would see it's the man's fault, not yours. "Aw, Izu's a little Grandpa's boy! So adorable! If only he had his bunny suit on!" The Eiko girl squealed, obviously a girl of high intelligence.

"You told him!? Why would you tell him!" Izuku asked his friend.

"Uh, sorry, I..wait, he already knew, right?" Eiko turned to the chair demon.

"I would have, but Kalego keeps destroying the cameras I place around the school. The moment he stops is the moment I stop making him use the cute little tv player." Little known fact, his master was a man of spite. He didn't mind, his kohai needed to learn how to lighten up a little.

"Bunny suit?" Inko walked in to greet her son's friends. "Izuku, is there anything you'd like to..?"

"Nothing, absolutely nothing!" He shouted louder than he needed to.

"It's alright, young master." Opera comforted with a shoulder pat. "I have a fondness for cat ears myself."

"I'M NOT A FURRY!" Ah, tonight was going to be fun.

"It's alright Izuku-kins, I dress up like a puppy for Sin-Sin and Ran-Ran all the time! It's the best way to get smiles from people!" Valac introduced her own brand of logic into the conversation.

"Really?" Izuku genuinely took it into consideration. "Huh, well the transformation at the division party did make me look like a Skvader, but I'm not sure if I could make it look cute enough."

"Is getting smiles from people the easiest way to just get you to say yes?" Asmodeus asked with a curious look. "It feels you're willing to put up with a lot for that."

"Like the time we all did the co-" Valac was promptly tackled by Gaako and Asmodeus.

"Don't say it outloud, you maniac! That's supposed to be our secret!" Gaako placed her scaly hand on the girl's face.

"But I told my mommy about it, so you should probably.."

"Complete that sentence and I'll fallet you for dinner tonight! I don't need my mother imagining me in another dress!" Asmodeus shouted

"Another what now?" Inko asked as the gang froze.

Izuku seemed to have the sense to create a distraction, even if they were curious. "Hey Grandpa, we're getting kinda hungry." That snapped the man into action.

"Of course! No Grandson of mine or his friends will go hungry tonight! Opera, if you will." Might as well. They had their fill of chaos..for the moment that is.


Asmodeus didn't really know what to expect from Izuku's sudden invitation to his household, but initially believed there would be little harm in accepting. Opera was a powerful demon that held themselves together whenever he's noticed them, the Chair Demon was a candidate for the Demon King, and Madam Midoriya..okay, that last one made his spine shiver a little, but as long as he never did anything to harm Izuku, he was fairly certain he'd get out tonight alive. At least eighty percent sure.

Opera was an odd case. They were one of those people nobody got a read on. Well, barring Kalego-sensei, but apparently that was an 'old bond of hatred'. Izuku explained that the two went to school together. He didn't learn much more than that, but the context painted Kalego as a kindred spirit he could possibly confide in...as disturbing as that sounded.

Regardless, the food was marvelous. He ate as one should, civilized and with tasteful and savory bites. "Thank you for the meal, Opera-san. I'm honored to be served such delinquency."

"Thank you kindly, but I'm afraid I didn't make the main dish. You have Madame Midoriya to thank for that." Asmodeus felt like running, but calmed himself. He was better, obviously Miss Midoriya would take note of his progress, right?

"Oh, no need for thanks. Katsudon just happens to be Izuku's favorite dish. I've had a lot of practice preparing it in abundance." She humbly stated. Phew, no glares of fiery hate. He was in the safe zone at the moment.

"It tastes yummy! Thank you Mamadoriya!" Clara shouted, just shoving every bit of food into a bowl and storing it into paste, like an uncultured swine. He repressed his words though, the dangerous woman was too close to hearing range. "It's just like my Mommy's Muffle Muffle Crackle Bang!"

"Alright, seriously, not everyone is aware of nicknames." Gaako spoke from her spot, using a surprising amount of spices on her food. "Still don't know where 'Eistring' came from."

"Oh that's easy, I tore off her.."

"SO WHY IS THIS YOUR FAVORITE DISH, IZU!?" Eiko screeched, not that he couldn't blame her.

"Why?" He asked, seemingly confused at the question. "It just … tastes the best." He shrugged. "Loved it ever since I was a kid, wanted mom to make it every day of the week."

"I convinced him to shorten it down to four days instead. He was very persistent." Izuku's mother chuckled. "I once made a whole table's worth for him, telling him he could eat all he wanted, thinking I could make him sick of it. Obviously, I failed on that front."

Seeing as he once ate an entire table's worth of food without being aware, it made sense in hindsight. "I see, personally I'm a fan of steak. I can't feel the heat so overcooking actually makes it taste better."

"Oh really? I find fish to be more pleasant to cook in all honesty." The mad woman snorted as she said that sentence with an innocent look. Damn it! His own mother sold him out! "It can be eaten fried, steemed, baked, and even raw."

"I like to have something live." Gaako spoke without a hint of mercy as everyone turned. "Cold blooded, just feels good to have something warm inside you."

"Izuku, I won't judge you for the choices you and your friends make, but are you.."

"We don't explore, 'that', at any time, Mom!" Asmodeus never felt more empathy for his friend until now. Now he fully understands the depths of their relationship, one son of an evil mother to another.

"We can if you want to." Eiko offered, blushing like always. "Just putting it out there. We're all friends here. No shame or anything."

"Oh, is this a new game!" Clara asked, and for an instance he didn't feel the need to disrupt her innocence. "I call Izuku-kins for my team!"

"No, he's on my team!" Eiko yelled from across the table. "I met him before any of you did! Saving me was the first time he felt like a hero!"

"I'm not into this, only stating for punctuality sake, but the first one he met was me." Asmodeus decided to put his two cents in.

"Oh, so you're going for the rumors huh?" Eiko grinned as he felt a bulge in his eyes, twitching violently with restrained fury.

"You know it's not like that!"

"Oh right, because you were a douche before Izuku-kins blasted some sense into you." Clara got in on the teasing, her teeth showing off her very evil intent. "Before that, you were just a general grumpy-grump to everyone you met. Izuku-kins did a great job taming you!"

"You can't pull off the innocent act while spitting out vulgarities like that, you know?!" If Asmodeus despised anything, it was hypocrites. Izuku was the exception due to never actively trying to be insane.

Sullivan laughed. "Oh my, what a lively group you've gathered Izuku-kun. Glad to see you within good company." What about the last two minutes conveyed any of that?

"Yeah, it feels nice to be around people I can trust." Izuku confirmed, sending all of them a warm smile. It genuinely felt nice to see it on his face after so many days without seeing it. Maybe that's why Izuku was so gung-ho about trying to make everyone smile around him.

"Well, since we're all done with the dinner course, why don't we do something to help the food settle before heading into the dessert course." Opera blankly stated. Again, it was hard to get a read on the man. He'd love to learn how to keep himself composed, if it meant he could survive around THIS family for long periods of time. "I recently purchased a new game for the young master, and feel now would be a perfect time to bring it out."


Tonight was going great! Everyone thought he was cool so far, and they all loved the dinner! Granted it was Opera's and Inko's dinner, but still. Izuku-kun got to show off his friends and be happy! The greatest joy one could possibly witness. Now all that needed to happen was everyone praising how amazing he was, specifically Izuku-kun, and this will go down as the best party in netherworld history!

"So you play video games a lot?" Gaako asked his beloved Grandson. "I know you're a nerd, but I didn't take you for that type."

"Didn't have many friends growing up, so I mostly looked at solo hobbies you could do at home." Izuku shrugged. "This and hero research were pretty much my bread and butter." He looked at the game. "Then again I don't have any dance skills."

"But what about when we d.." Once again, Asmodeus and Gaako ambushed the young Valac.

"Do we have to put a muzzle on you?!" Asmodeus seethed, planting his foot on her back. "At least this kind of recreation is within my interests of sorts."

"Wow, it's the latest model too." Eiko was looking all over the machine. "Parts are refreshed and polished, how rich are you guys?"

"Eh, just about a few counties or so, give or take." Sullivan waved off the gasping faces. "I would have gone for twenty, but apparently, that's being 'too greedy'." Like demons had such a concept around here. That's what made his little Izuku-kun so special in his selflessness!

"So then." Inko shook off. "You press the steps right?" She asked as she tentatively pressed the arrows.

"Yes, and the one with the highest number of points wins."Opera spoke in their usually calm tone. "Don't worry about points, Inko. It's all in the name of good and safe fun."

"Yeah! I'm going to step on all the pointy sticks and grab all the points!" Clara used that endless vitality and speed of hers to repeatedly press on everyone, regardless of whether she was doing it right.

"The point of this game is about timing and precision, not accumulation, you di.." Inko gave her scary mom look to Asmodues. He felt both fearful and proud of the demon she was growing into! "I'm sure you'll do your best." The boy spoke with gritted teeth.

"Eh, I feel I can do this decently." Gaako spoke with a cracked neck.

"Okay then, to start it says you raise your hand and …" Izuku was cut off as the game announcer icon jumped out of the screen.

"Yoyoyo can I get a hizow!" The little projection called them all out. "You think you devi enough to reach my level!? Hah, I'll be the judge of that, and you all better be grateful for it!"

"I never felt more insulted by pixelated light until now." Asmodeus lit his hands up. "Is it possible for magic to harm holograms?"

"I'll look into it at the next Battler meeting." Eiko spoke with a glare on the little guy.

"I'm still busy with looking after the other little pest that stays around the Battler." Gaako agreed.

"Fun pixie man!" Clara shouted obliviously.

"It's just a recording guys, I'm pretty sure it says that to everyone." Izuku-kun cutely observed.

"Do you really want to test your luck, Greenie?" The apparently sentient A.I called him out. "I don't need eyes to see that you suck the most out of everyone here!"

"Are you aware of the concept of smashing a console?"

"Let's move on shall we!?" Spoke the now sweating sentient A.I. "Get ready to go in one two three, dance!"

Thus began the dance off, everyone doing a strange movement. Please, everyone knows Sumo is the best. Opera did his quick and small side steps, being the little show off that he was. Asmodeus seemed to follow suit, though didn't act as fast as his butler did.

Gaako was actually doing fairly well, not too worried about her speed or actions. Clara just kinda stomped the ground randomly but it somehow gathered a ton of points regardless. Eiko seemed to be the most out of place with her style, trying to act classy despite the fast beat. And Izuku seemed to be doing fairly well himself, laughing with Inko as they went about.

Everyone was doing fine doing their own thing, at least until Eiko grabbed his Grandson's hand and tried to make it a waltz-like routine, making following along with the rhythm harder for them both. Then it got an extra dose of crazy when Clara decided to join in, jumping on the boy's shoulders and making him topple like a domino into Asmodeus. My, my, the boy was quite popular! He wondered who'd the lucky girl would be that would make him a Great Grandfather!

"Times up losers!" Shouted the pixelated demon. "Let's tally up those scores!" Numbers appeared over their heads, spinning. His would be the last of course, he got the best score-he got a six. Lord Sullivan got a six in a dancing game.

Next up was Eiko, with sixty six points. "Woopse, better train up some more." She laughed to herself.

After her with three hundred thirty three points was Izuku-kun. "I feel I did pretty good."

Then with six hundred sixty six points was Inko-san.

Gaako had six thousand six hundred and sixty six points

"Your luck is absurd." Spoke Asmodeus, looking at his own sixty six thousand six hundred and sixty six points vs Clara's sixty six thousand six hundred and sixty five points. "All you did was button mash."

"Are you really surprised?" Izuku looked at the school representative. "How many times has Clara won a game or a fight just by constantly bashing or ramming into something?"

"Smashing solves all life's problems!" His Grandson looked conflicted at his best friend's statement.

And finally there was Opera who.."Oh you can't be serious? Sixty-six million, six hundred sixty-six thousand, six hundred sixty six?" Sullivan deadpanned. Even in hell, this had to be too many sixes in one place.

"It's not a big deal. It was in the hundred millions the last time." Really?! You know what you're doing, don't you!? So this is why Kalego held on to so much spite. Maybe he should give his proper salary back...nah, he still needed to lighten up a little.

"Your butler did this solely for showing off, didn't he?" Gaako concluded.

"I've learned to accept his oddly skilled repertoire at this point." Izuku-kun shrugged. "You should've seen him in one-on-one combat games. Plays the entire game with his tail while ironing."

"Truly a formidable force. I am not sure how well to accept my place, if I only beat Clara by a single point." He rubbed his head. "It makes one question the point of it all at times."

"Don't get your panties all up in a twist." Eiko rolled her eyes. "You got trashed by Izu's powerfully awesome Demon Butler Familiar, that's all. The most important thing to acknowledge here is that my score is right behind Izu! That has to mean something!"

"Yeah, it means you two need to learn how to dance." Gaako rolled her eyes as well.

"But we danced great during.." Clara once again began retailing whatever secret the group was hiding, and again, was met by the duo of Azz and Gaako.

His darling daughter just gave a happy shrug. "Well, that was certainly the most lively the house has been in a while. I have to find more hobbies outside the house." She turned to his butler. "So, I believe we should all be ready for dessert now?"

"NOOOOOOOO!" He shouted, rightfully so, even if it made everyone stare at him questionably. "I-What I mean is, we haven't fully digested our food yet! Surely there's another activity we can do before we dine on something sweet?" Come on brain, think of something.

And it did, the beautiful bastard it was. "How about we all go on a ... Dark Parade?" He spoke in a spooky voice, slipping a bit of magic to make ominous lightning appear in the sky, the blond girl jumping.

"A Dark Parade?" Izuku and Inko asked, causing the others to look at the duo questioningly. No wait, they were looking at him!

"Alright, how uncultured do you keep your daughter and grandson?" Asmodeus asked with an accusatory tone.

"Yeah, Izu being cutely unaware of the world is one thing, but his mother too?" Eiko glared at him menacingly. "I'm starting to suspect something's off. This is something more than just sheltering your kid, especially if you passed it onto the next generation."

"Well, the thing is, I didn't want anyone targeting my darling little Inko when she was young." He tried to justify on the fly, getting a nod from the women when no one was looking, he went on. "There are plenty of people that would target me after all, despite wanting to spoil her Inko wanted a quiet life as a nurse, until they went ahead and let her go for someone with healing magic!" He showed them, stabbing all the head doctors in their sleep.

"Abroad, but that kind of stuff happens all over the Netherworld." Gaako spoke accusatively. "And how come Ms Midoriya doesn't have any horns either?" Stop pointing out logic in his lies! "Izuku said he doesn't have wings or a tail, and if I'm guessing correctly, she can't use magic either, right?"

"No, actually, I can." Inko spoke up, a bit in cold sweat, before levitating one of her son's notebooks into her hand. "I can levitate small objects. The size limit doesn't change but the weight and material is irrelevant."

"Are you saying you could manipulate blood vessels and other internal organs? Is that why you wanted to be a doctor?" Eiko asked with a tilted head.

Inko blinked in genuine curiosity, looking down on her hands. "You know, I never tried it on another Demon." She looked at Asmodeus. "It'll be nice to test it out later."

Clara ran by the pink haired boy, who was now dead on his feet, and ran to his darling grandson. "Are we still being stupid about this? Who cares what magic they do? Who cares if they don't know that much? I hardly know that much, and you all still love me!"

"Love might be too strong of a word." Gaako rubbed her head. "She's right about that though, we've already had this conversation." Haha, the genius of Clara Valac shined through as always! Maybe he'll put in a good word for Izuku for her.

"Anyway,the Dark Parade is where you walk into a scary place! Whoever stays the longest or makes it to the end wins!" Clara went on and explained the rules.

"Oh, test of courage." Izuku nodded. "Wait, are we going into the forest at night?"

"Oh no, I have a much better spot in mind!" Sullivan exclaimed with a dramatic twirl, pulling on a candle fixture in the wall. It snapped right off with the metal, as everyone stared confused. "Right, third from the left, not fourth." He moved a bit before pulling again, this time a secret passage opening up. "The hidden dungeon of the mansion should be absolutely perfect!"

"Why do we have a hidden dungeon?" Izuku tilted his head.

"Why are you just bringing it up now?" Inko pondered.

"We got it for storage purposes, and you never asked." He answered respectively.

"Okay, but if this is a Dark Parade, then wouldn't there be nothing under there since you've moved here?" Asmodeus, the little egg head, put in his own thoughts once he recovered from his shock. "If you didn't clear out the dangers that lurk within it, then that's just plain irresponsible, especially if your magicless grandson lives with you."

"Oh, the barrier on the walls keeps all magic from coming in or out, a perfect defensive fortress. The things that lurks in there still exist and roam to this day without corporeal forms." Sullivan spoke with a mystique in his voice, already planning on getting the horses in place.

"Yay, ghosts!" Clara shouted innocently as she ran in head first.

"She does know that there's no light right?" Gaako asked.

"Stair rolling in the dark!" Better move before she broke something.


The horse put on it's mask, feeling delight in it's plan. First it would sneak out, then make a show of fighting master, then treats would be given! Haha, this would be the most fun it's had in weeks. They hardly ever got to pull the carriage for the young master, so this was a great time to stretch out their legs a little.

The costume was a bit much. They were pretty confident that they were scary enough without the suit and mask, but the master wanted it this way, so who were they to complain? Plus the glowing eyes would make it easier to see them in the dark. Oh, that should be them now.

"I'm just saying, if you have all this space why not put your money here?"

"And leave the banks high and dry? I'm not a greedy coon."

"You already admitted to wanting twenty counties to yourself."

"And I would have done wonderful things by giving them to Izuku-kun."

"Grandpa, I don't even know what I would do with one county, let alone twenty."

"That's easy, Izuku-kins! Build your own amusement park! I got tons of fun ride ideas! I just need your brain and drawly-drawing!"

"Oh, we can totally up Walter Park!"

"Like Walt Disney?"

"Walt who now?"

Alright then, now was the time. The beast let out a stomp on the ground, letting it ring out across the area.

"What the heck is that?"

"Eiko, Clara, get behind me!"

"Izuku, get behind me!"

"Azz-Azz, go kill it!"

"I'm not needlessly risking my life over a simple game!"

"Yet you almost kill someone just because they were chosen over you?"

"Was that the reason!?"

"I was sorry, alright!?"

"Stand back everyone, I'll go check it out." Master spoke in their cool voice, making their way over. Once out of earshot he whispered. "Good job boy, now then, let's drag it out and make the fight look cool." The costumed animal nodded, making some rumbling noises as the old man jumped back. "I thought as much, it's my pet monster." Master announced to the little crowd. "Don't worry, I got this! GRANDFATHER SMA..!"

"GORGON SNAKE!"

"CLOUD FOX!"

"FALFAL!"

What the hell! The horse had to dodge the multiple fireballs lodged at him by a devi damned gorgan! Why was there a gorgan trying to attack him! Then a chill ran up it's legs, oh shit! That Cloud Fox was trying to freeze him! Not that it was doing a good job, those guys only worked well in groups, but not when there's a devi damned gorgan trying to kill him! Then a ball landed by him, a girl running up and catching it with her mouth. This was crazy and insane, what was that thing planning! Was it a trap to make it immobile for the devi damned gorgan!?

Screw this! With a whine, the creature ran with its tail between it's legs. Forget treats, they wouldn't be worth death!


"I'm surprised, Cloud Foxes are usually only effective in groups." Asmodeus complimented Eiko. He was trying, Inko could see that. It just so happens that while she's a forgiving mother, she's hardly a forgetful one either. He needed to suffer just a little more for redemption.

"Been trying out subtle stuff, makes it easier to use for chemical reactions on the projects we use." Eiko smiled. "Plus I didn't bring my big bag, so it was all I could do." A fellow brainiac. Her son needed someone to keep up with his rambles.

"And I helped with everything!" Clara spoke super happy. "I caught the ball before it did, so I won!" Then again, Sin-Sin and Ran-Ran perfectly illustrated how adorable anyone related to Clara was, and she did want cute grandchildren.

"I don't know what's more uncanny. The fact that Familiar/Master dynamics are completely reversed with you two, or the fact that confusion is apparently a real life attack." Her baby observed the entire situation. "It's super effective!"

"You see, that's what our insanity does to the untrained mind, hence why beasts run before they are driven to madness." Gaako snarked. She was nice but definitely not girlfriend material … Please, don't be girlfriend material.

"B-bu-but my plan." Her papa spoke weakly. Guess whatever he had in store didn't pan out. At least the kids were happy. They probably were too used to dangerous situations to notice the patches in the costume of whatever Papa used for the Dark Parade.

"It's fine Papa, they're having fun." She reassured him.

"I know, but I wanted to look cool in front of Izuku-kuns friends." Ah, street cred, that's what he was after. "How can I be Izuku-kun's hero if I don't save him?"

"You're already his hero, sir." Opera spoke up, but not after they took out a camera and took a picture of Papa's disappointment. "Thanks to you, he has friends, and the chance to be a hero himself."

"Opera's right." Inko reassured me. "You save him everyday just by being here for him. That's more than Hisashi ever did, or even me for that matter."

"Of course I'd do that, but what if his friends tease him for having a lame Grandpa?" He asked. He almost over-thinks stuff as badly as Izuku sometimes.

"Not to worry sir, they'll merely call you out on being lame and pathetic, Izuku will be untouched." Opera spoke unapologetically. "Besides, you have noticed the boy becoming more bold in the last few days, right? He'd hardly care."

"That is a fair point. Izuku back in Japan would've never used snark against someone like Asmodeus before, regardless of whether or not they were his friends." Inko recalled the little snides Izuku would slip into conversation every now and again.

"It's the power of their casualty. Demons like Asmodeus and Gaako like to assert themselves by believing themselves superior in some form, in this case it's common sense." Opera went on. "Young Midoriya is just learning and going along with it, until he eventually becomes what he is now."

"I'm telling you, your Gorgan would be a lot more appreciative if you fed it some rats." Gaako spoke out. "Speaking from experience here."

"Seriously, could you please not put the live animal thing on everyone's mind again?" Izuku muttered.

She smiled, watching him joke around. This was nice, watching him hang out with everyone. Eventually Opera ran off. "Alright, now for Plan B, Opera's plan." Papa muttered, as she gained the feeling of him about to do something stupid again. "Let's keep going, we still have the hidden door to reach."

Everyone else just nodded along, caught up in their own conversation to notice her Papa's worried looks. "Opera may be teasing, but he's also loyal. He'll come up with something cool for you to impress the kids."

"S-sure, I know that, but what could it be?" Papa glanced down at shaky fingers. "We've almost reached the end, and there's nothing but a walk-in closet there." Seriously, that level of room just for a walk in closet? She remembered when her closet was barely three feet of room!

They opened the door, now walking into a large pile of boxes. "We're not going to find hidden treasure down here by any chance, Grandpa?" Izuku turned to Papa.

"Haha, yeah, something like that." He answered with a wave of a hand, before turning back to her. "The closest thing I have like that down here are my adorable baby pictures!" He forgot to whisper.

The group looked at the man for a second, then at each other, before shrugging and going along. The point of baby pictures was for a parent to embarrass a child, not the other way around after all. And suddenly the room is filled with a red glow. "Papa, Opera, it isn't capable of actually harming you, right?"

"I don't know." Well, that wasn't reassuring. The red glow burned brighter, revealing some sort of moving dragon skeleton, fiercely roaring to keep them away from itself. "What?!" He remembered to whisper this time. "There isn't supposed to be anything like this down here!"

The kids moved in on their own, sending in the familiars again. But it wasn't going as well as they might've hoped. "What!? The fire doesn't work! How's that possible!?" Asmodeus screeched.

"Well, it is a dragon, and dragons are fire proof." Gaako plainly said. "Honestly, it's basic creature studies. I'd figured you'd know more about this."

"If you're so smart, why don't you do something about it!"

"Just because I'm a dragon, it doesn't mean we all know each other. That's actually pretty narrow minded of you. Also he's a fucking skeleton, cuts out most of my knowledge."

"Eiko, can your Cloud Fox create enough wind to freeze it?!" Izuku cried out to the blonde demon.

"No go. It can only create that kind of power in a pack."

"Alright, Clara!" The girl nodded, pulling out a grenade of all things and throwing it, causing a massive boom along with smoke. The roar afterwards confirmed it wasn't even scratched. "Well that's not comforting."

"Okay, Opera's done a fine job, but I still don't know what's going on." Papa looked to the side, and noticed his butler crouched down behind a crate, held up a device projecting some sort of light. "Of course, the game system. The monster's nothing but a hologram."

"At least the kids aren't in actual danger." She had more trust in Opera's ability to accomplish that than her Papa's, but that didn't make her worry any less. She then noticed a hand signal the cat eared demon made towards them. "Guess that's your cue. Good luck."

"Who needs it?" Her Papa cockily smirks, before glowing in a similarly violently red aura as he approaches the fake creature. "Cease your attack. I shall not let you lay a finger nor fang on my Grandson or any of his friends!" He lifted his arms up. "If you want to eat them, you'll have to do it over my dead and lifeless corpse!" Was that where she picked up her scary voice?

The kids backed away in awe, fear, and respect for the principal of their school. Even Clara, the ever chipper and smiling girl, looked over with a timid and cautious look on her face, as if she was remembering a similar experience. Inko looked over to Opera once more as Papa flung himself in the air. The Butler clicked a single button.

"GREATEST….GRANDFATHER.." Okay, he was dragging it out now, especially with all the flips. "SMASH!" With a single kick, the 'beast' flashed a white light over all of them, and just as suddenly as it came, it disappeared without a trace. "Is everyone alright?"

"Grandpa, that was amazing!"

"Super-duper Devi Cool!"

"As expected of our Chair Demon."

"That was a rush! Izu, you have to take me to explore more dungeons!"

"Eiko, we need to have a serious talk about your interests before it actually starts to become a problem."

Her Papa was basking in the honestly not-at-all-deserved praise, but she would let him have his cool Grandpa status for today. "Great work, Opera. You went all out for everyone today."

"Just doing my job." They simply nodded, though she could tell how happy they were by the wagging of his long cat tale. "Everyone, look, the dragon left something behind."

Sure enough, a small red and gold treasure chest was revealed on the ground where the dragon was. Inko was impressed yet again. She had to do something nice for Opera one of these days. "Well, there's no use in waiting around here any longer." She walked up to the group and picked up the chest. "We might as well take this back up before anything else-AH!" She dropped the chest. "Careful, it has some sharp edges."

"Mom, you're bleeding." Her son pointed to her hand in concern. Everyone around them looked at her appendage in worry.

"Don't worry about it Izuku, I've dealt with worse injuries at the hospital." She tried to sway away any worry, but then almost failed to notice the cloth now wrapping around her hand.

"Allow me, I'd hate to watch your wound suffer exposed like that." Asmodeus had taken off his school ascot to make a make-shift bandage. As he started wrapping her wound a single drop of blood fell from her arm onto his hand. "GGAAAAAAHHH!" He pulled back, gripping his hand as if it was on fire, the irony not lost on her, and simply screamed to the shock of everyone.

"AZZ!" Her baby ran up to him.

"Azz-Azz!" Clara shouted, checking up on him.

The other two said nothing, silently getting close and trying to look at the injury.

"I'm so sorry." Inko started, reaching over to him. "Let me look at-"

Hisssss

The boy … hissed at her, everyone jumping back in surprise as his body burst alight, but it was more of the sound. His eyes were narrowed in on her, slitting a low growl filled his throat. His entire face looked so animalistic. Something inside of her primitive, was screaming at her. She would be hunted, she needed to run away. This man would kill her-she needed to get her baby boy out of here and-

The entire area was cut off by a pressure, one that seemed to knock everyone back into their senses, even Asmodeus, who blinked in genuine fear, and what looked like self disgust.

"Well then, is everyone alright?" Sullivan asked the group. He had simply slapped the pink haired boy across the head. It was apparently enough to snap sense back into whatever came over Asmodeus.

"Yes yes, I'm …" The boy looked over his hand, covering it up, but she caught a glance of what appeared to be symptoms of an acid, or venom. "I'm perfectly fine now." He took one glance at her, and quickly turned away in shame. "If it's the same for everyone, I'd like to have dessert now."

Everyone else nodded quickly, already wanting to forget about what just happened. Some of the kids, such as Izuku and Gaako, kept giving Asmodues concerned looks, while Clara and Eiko glared furiously, but none commented on the danger of the situation, almost like it was normal.

For a while, Inko genuinely forgot an important fact. Her son was going to school with demons, and they would be killed if they were found out.


Desert was quiet, occasional conversation and compliments, but there was an awkward mood caused by Azz being an insensitive jerk. He's the one that got hurt trying to help Mamdoriya, he didn't have to start acting like an animal.

Now all they could do was enjoy the very good dessert, Creamed Demango and assorted fruits. "Yummy." Was all that was said between anyone between the Calamity cult.

After a while Inko, being the lovely woman she was, decided to break the tension. "How about we clean up for you guys? You can hang out in Izuku's room, and check the closet for his hero merch."

Hero merch!? "You mean we can get a look at all the amazing people that inspired Izu to be the great demon he is!?"

"Mom, I-I-uh.." Aw, he was trembling in his own home! Not like she could blame him, that dungeon was intense. "Alright, fine. I guess it wouldn't hurt to show them my hero journals at the very least."

"Yay, notebooks from Izuku-kins are always fun!" Clara shouted, running off.

"Do you even know where to go?" Gaako yelled after her, as Azz, who usually told the girl off, hasn't said anything, simply rubbing his hand the entire time. "Azz, you know we know.."

"I'm positive whatever Izuku has written down in his personal studies shall be enlightening for all of us. Izuku, if you would lead the way." What a suck up. First you try to kill him, and then his mother? How was Izu still able to stand him?

Izuku had a frustrated look, but showed the way to his room anyway. They walked down the long halls before finally reaching the hallowed doors. "Well, here we are. Just, don't be too shocked by what you see. It may seem a little strange at first." He opened the door, and she was certain the view was amazing! So big and fancy!

The view sadly was ruined by the thing in the ring jumping out. "Yahoo! Party with friends! Sleepover! Shall we jump on the bed? Stories in the dark? Spin the bottle?" For once Lizzy made a good suggestion.

"What are you doing here, Shadow-kun?" Clara spoke for the first time since coming out of the dungeon.

"You know me, when the folks are gone, I come out for some fun!" The shadow spun around.

"Even magical entities are scared of their parents." Gaako muttered.

"I'm not scared, I just don't like overexposure. Once the cat's out of the bag, it's hard to stuff it back in, if you know what I mean."

"I do, and I hate it." Izu glared at his ring. "Lizzy, we all had a long day, and I'd just like to end it on a peaceful note before anyone tries anything else crazy."

"You mean how pinky here was nearly killed by your mama?" That quieted everyone down.

"What are you talking about, Azz-Azz attacked Mamadoriya!" Clara pointed out, obviously.

"Oh, then I guess he doesn't mind showing you all his 'uninjured' hand now, does he?" She pointed to Azz's right hand, and he gave the shadow creature a dark look before shuffling it away from view.

"It doesn't matter. There's no excuse for.." Lizzy flew up to him and flicked him on the forehead. "Hey, what was that for?!"

"You moron, if you hide something you're just gonna drive the group wild. And you'd be a hypocrite for all you've heard them spill about." Lizzy then got a reporter outfit from somewhere. "So give us the deets hun."

"Fine, if it makes you disappear faster." He showed off a hand that was scarred with pink patches. "I received these injuries while I was attempting to tend Madam Midoriya's wound. Some of her blood spilt on me, and suddenly my entire body felt like it was being attacked from the inside out."

"Mom's blood?" Izu questioned. Of course he would, it was such a ridiculous lie! How could blood burn someone from the outside.

"It doesn't look good, you should really get that looked at. You know Sullivan has healing magic right?" Gaako tried to suggest. Ugh, she knew Gaako possibly had a thing for the guy, mainly for his sanity equating to 'normal' in this group, but after everything he's done?

"It's fine, I won't cause any more trouble. I'll just wait until I get home and try to fix it there." He tried to hide his hand again, but it was stopped when Izu grabbed it himself. "Izuku, I, I know that there's nothing I can do to compensate for what I've done, but if there's any possible.."

"Give me a knife." Yeah, Izu, stab the bastard! "Clara, you can make one for me, right?"

Surprisingly, Clara wasn't as energized at the idea as she was. Then again, she was the closest to innocence the cult had. "S-sure, Izuku-kins." She created a small blade. "Just don't, don't do anything crazy."

Izu then was given the knife. Come on, stab him, hold the knife like that...Wait no, you're holding it backward Izu. You'll end up cutting yourself-he's cutting himself! "IZU! Stop!" She grabbed the blade out of his hands, but the cut was already deep enough to shed blood. "What are you thinking!?" She loved his danger-junkie antics, but this was going too far! "Don't hurt yourself!"

Izu ignored her cries of concern as he gripped Azz's hand. "Izuku, wait, I.." Azz tried to stop him, but was too late as Izu let some of the blood leaking out fall on Azz's wounds. A faint glow was seen, before Azz's hand was cleared of all pink patches. "It's..better?"

"I only did this once, back at Cutthroat Valley." Izu recalled. "I healed the Guardian's baby, and it in return helped me and Sabnock."

"Wait..I remember you saying something about this." Eiko thought back to their first meeting with Amy. "You actually have healing blood? I've never heard of any bloodline like that before."

"Wait, I thought Mamadoriya makes things float?" Even Clara was getting curious for Devi's sake!

"And I thought you were magicless." Gaako spoke out from her spot, looking between Izu and the wound. "Were you lying or something?"

"It's a misconception." Lizzy spoke, everyone turning to the smoke."Izuku-Kun has magic, but it's unusable. It's flowing so fast throughout his body that it's all mixed in with blood, making it impossible for conventional spells." She went on. "Inko has a similar problem, but the effects …" oh, Azz wasn't lying. "..are different due to her being able to use her bloodline magic."

Izu's eyes widened, apparently this was new information for him as well. "Wait, so because Mom has a qui..because Mom has a bloodline, her blood is toxic for demons?"

"Ding ding ding, the boy wins a prize!" Lizzy shouted, moving to a spot and pulling out a folded up poster. "Let's show it to the crowd!"

"Lizzy don't you dare!" But it was too late, already unraveling and …

"Who the hell is the steroid taking pedophile?" Azz was back.

"Oooh, a smiling scary bunny!" Clara returned as well.

"That looks oddly familiar." Gaako looked at the poster, then at Izuku. "Don't tell me that's why you like being a green bunny?"

"His smile is much more creepy than Izu's." Eiko added honestly. She didn't know why Izu looked up to him, but she would support it.

"It's meant to be reassuring!" Izu exclaimed, and she believed he believed that to be the case. "His name's All Might, and back where I'm from, he's the number one hero of all time. Even more so than Sull..than Grandpa."

"Oh, so All Might did a task better than carrying a mountain through a tornado?"

"Or snapping a continent in half to stop a civil war?"

"Or stopping a fight to the death between two world leaders by introducing ping pong?"

Izu looked a little pale at the list of accomplishments. Did Sullivan not even talk about his heroism to his hero-otaku grandson?! He must be a really bad grandpa. "Well, he's actually changed the weather on multiple occasions. One punch from him can create an entire hurricane of force, or even change the wind pressure in air to make it rain. He's even smashed through an entire mountain at one point in his career."

That … was kinda okay, she guessed. "So he's a Khet(8), maybe even a Tet(9)." Azz observed, rubbing his hand on his chin. "I guess that's impressive if someone like Lord Sullivan isn't around."

"So he's mostly a muscle head?" Gaako added on. "Didn't think you'd admire someone like that, considering how scrawny you are." Okay, he was a little on the small side, but not everyone likes muscles the size of their head, you know.

"I don't admire his power." Izu clarified. "It's just, you know, the way he does it. There was an incident where a boy fell into a river. He jumped in and saved him, but the boy's magic changed the river to vinegar out of panic. After apologizing, All Might's response was "I should be thanking you, my skin feels ten years younger". He just, he does everything so well, he cares after everyone he saves almost as if they were part of his family. It puts a smile on everyone's face."

"So he makes everybody happy, just like you want to?" Clara asked, very invested.

"Exactly. For decades, he's been able to save everyone, never falling, always winning no matter what, and he was able to do it all with a smile on his face." Izu remembered it warmly. "On his debut during a train crash, he saved over a hundred people in less than ten minutes. He swooped in there, and reassured everyone to never be worried because 'I AM HERE'. His mere presence alone earned him the title of the Symbol of Peace."

"Symbol of Peace." Eiko muttered, looking at the man in a different context. She could see it, she guessed, the man was just excited to help people, like Izu. If only his smile looked less menacing, she felt the need to blow a safety whistle looking at it. "It sounds a little cheesy, but if he does it in earnest, I can see how that's possible."

"Izuku mentioned before that the duty of a hero is to put that cheesy lip-service into action. To make those promises into reality." Azz spoke, looking at the man up and down. "Sounds like a lot of work to put on one's shoulders. I admire your determination, Izuku, but I don't envy it."

"Don't try to do everything on your own, Izuku-kins!" Clara poked his chest. "Mighty-Bunny probably does his job well, but 'WE'RE HERE' for you! After all, how can you smile for everyone if you're not happy yourself?"

"Yeah, you need to have your support group, like us. That way you can be an even better hero!" Eiko exclaimed with a hug.

"Also work on your smile, we don't need another creepy man towering over us." Gaako concluded for all of them. "The Chair Demon is scary enough as is without this All Might guy being in the picture. The last thing you want people to add to the rumors is being a pedophile."

"He's not, ugh, fine, I'll work on it." Izu sighed. "People are scared of me enough as it is after being in the Student Council. Disguising myself as a rabbit is getting more and more appealing by the minute."

"Oh, maybe now you'll switch your cosplay costume inspiration from All Might to Miruko, you know, the ACTUAL rabbit hero?" Lizzy poofed her form again, showing a form with shiny white hair and a white leotard with a yellow moon on the chest, and of course, some fluffy long rabbit ears on top.

"Fluffy bunny lady?" Clara asked, she could feel the accusatory tone and agreed with it completely.

"Izu, you don't have any hero merch of this hero, do you?"

"Hey, why don't we jump on the bed now, Clara?" Izu invited the green gremlin to the large king size mattress. "That is an important friendship exercise everyone back home must partake in."

"Bed jumping!" She shouted, completely placated as she went and jumped on the very fluffy looking mattress. Damn it, her hero was too smart for his own good at times!

"You're a little evil mastermind." Azz snorted.

"No, I just know how to survive being around demons. And girls."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Gaako asked. Ah, finally, everything was coming back together. She felt like laughing … and she did. She laughed harder than she had ever done before. She thanked all the Devis and stars that she met Izuku Midoriya.


Gaako sat at the front with the others, waiting for their respective rides home. "So you seriously don't own any transportation?"

"Nope, we just play tag and race our way home. Sometimes we end up in the swamp, but we just play whoever doesn't sink wins." Clara said nonchalantly.

"Eiko, make sure we create some sort of tracker at the Battler for Clara, and for her entire family for that matter." Their president notified her best friend. "See if there's anything we can create to track certain magical bloodlines."

"Already been on it for a while, working out kinks." It was her initial find Izuku plan after all, Gaako saw the work she put into that thing. The woman could do anything she put her mind to."So, we don't have to worry about you hurting yourself just to heal others, right?" She pointed to Izuku's now bandaged hand.

"No, you can be sure of that." Izuku waved off, although it sounded a little too fast for her liking. "I'll find a way to make it work for me eventually. Right now, I still have to master the ring before attempting anything else."

"Well, as your friends, will be sure to hold you to that. You get into enough trouble as it is." Azz pointed out, rightfully so. He then noticed a carriage pull up along with an old man. "Ah, Henry's here. And no mother. This truly has been a spectacular evening." Anti, they'd need some way to visit his home without immediate fear of that woman. Pretty sure they'd get a sex ed course they couldn't handle.

Clara pointed to a lantern. "There's my family! Hey Mommy, hey Konchi, hey Keebow, hey Sin-Sin, hey Ran-Ran!" She waved to the bundle of clones.

"HEY CLARA!" The pile of green shouted back. The poor mother, having to deal with five Claras when they only had to deal with one.

"Oh, here's your dad!" Eiko pointed to a shadow in the sky. Shoot, she thought her dad would've been too busy to pick her up! Please don't be embarrassing, not tonight!

"That's getting pretty big." Izuku noticed. "Are you sure it's...?" Then the shadowy figure made a crater by landing in the forest. Everyone braced for the impact. When the dust cleared it showed a dragon the size of the mansion itself. Spikes adorned its body with green and some minor yellow scales.

"HEY SWEETIE? DID YOU HAVE FUN WITH YOUR LITTLE MINIONS TONIGHT?" Her Dad spoke softly, but his height practically made his voice thundershocks.

"That's … your dad …" Izuku muttered. Yeah, she knows! You don't have to rub how embarrassing he is in front of her! "Okay, either my old home or my new home is being unoriginal here, or the universe just said 'screw it' to my brain." What was that about?

"Dad, I told you they're not minions! The term we have is friends!"

"SURE SURE. HEY THERE EIKO-CHAN, HOW'S YOUR FOLKS BEEN!?" He went on, knowing the conversation was like hitting her head on a brick wall.

"Oh, it's been great! Although Aunt Peach keeps telling me to stay away from you for some reason."

"Aunt Peach, of course." Izuku muttered. Seriously, what was he on about?

"SUCH A LOVELY WOMAN!" The womanizer went on, damn it all! "WELL THEN, LET'S GET YOU GIRLS HOME-"

It was then that Lord Sullivan walked out, looking at the beast and giving an almost nostalgic smile. "Lord Koopa, you never told me you had kids! I could have had so many fun discussions!" Izuku facepalmed, at least now they could empathize over something. Now joining Azz in the 'messed up family' gang.

"LORD SULLIVAN." Her dad growled, oddly quiet. "YOU STILL NEVER RETURNED MY LAWN MOWER!"

"I had to use it for go-karting!"

"Okay, seriously, is all of this just some game show to mess with me?!" Wow, Izuku was going into a full breakdown. Well, the night has been stressful.

"WELL IF I CAN'T USE IT, NEITHER CAN YOU!" Her dad shouted, his mouth now wide open and glowing red.

"What are you … wait no, don't burn down the-!" Tonight was a full on disaster in her opinion.


"Wow, and to think I was kidding when I called her Bowser's Daughter. The power I wield is too much for the word sometimes." Lizzy bragged, very proud of herself. "Come on kid, you can't deny it must've been cool to see such an icon come to life?"

"More surreal than anything else." Her master muttered, staring up at the ceiling in silence. "We were lucky Clara's mom ate that mushroom and grew giant." He rolled his eyes and plopped himself on his bed. "There's so much about this world I still don't understand."

"Well that's just isn't it?" Lizzy spoke. "You're an outsider learning about the world, and I'm your little tour guide to make sure you don't get found out, and I don't vanish from reality!" It was sad when your own existence was dependent on another.

"Not just that." He muttered. "It's… Have you ever heard the expression 'walk a mile in another's shoes'?"

"Of course I have. That's part of the deal being the Envy stealer ring." She rolled her single eye. "When I see a new bloodline, I can't help but wonder what it's like to be them, I wonder why they have something I don't, and I take it for myself and leave them with nothing!"

"Yeah, but I can't be like that." Izuku spoke. "Not the magic part but them, as Demons. I can't experience their lives or their happiness, their pain and sorrow. How the hell can I save someone if I never know what it's like to be them?" He closed his eyes. " I've been lucky to have friends like Clara and Ameri. We've had similar experiences. The others..like Azz, they don't fully get it, and maybe that's my fault."

"How so?" This was a lot more thought into the subject she thought he would have.

"Demon culture was founded differently than humans. When it comes down to it, we're the same, but our desires, our outputs on life...there's more cruelty in the netherworld, but there's more opportunity to grow." His voice was starting to slur. "They have these Evil Cycles they treat as normal, but do their best to make sure they don't fall into them. Their self servingness made a community of genuine happiness." He yawned. "I-if only I could.." He didn't finish his sentence as he finally fell into slumber.

"Wow, you've been overworking your brain about this for a while, haven't you?" She leaned over his unconscious form. "The world is yours for the taking, and yet you hold yourself back." She's seen the boldness grow in him within the past few days, using more magic, planting his feat, but he only did it to a point.

"Well then." Lizzy cracked her non existent neck. Yikes, that always felt weird. "Time to let your old pal Lizzy fix you right up, and give you what you want. Now then, let's get it all down. Demons have Horns, Wings, and a tail." She started gathering magic inside of her palm, mixing it from everyone this boy was connected with, like that time where something grew, she thinks. The before times were weird.

"And the most important part of all." She muttered, placing the magic on his head. "Evil Cycle, you're given an Evil Cycle that's fully stressed out. Enter your Wicked Phase, and become a bad boy." She quietly chanted. This had no chance of backfiring, he would be so happy when he woke up!
