Chapter 5
Everyone was a little excited for what they'll see next. Sure, the one's they have seen were a little out there and bizarre in a few places, but they were at least interesting. And while they have different personalities, it eased their hearts to see that their Midoriya, despite the different upbringings, was still generally a good guy with heroic intentions.
Welp, time to mess with some heads!
Bj popped in with another tape in hand, though he didn't show what was said on it. "Hey guys, just popping in real quick before we start this next viewing for a small removal."
"Removal?" Aizawa said in confusion.
"Yeah, for this next one, I wish to remove Eri from the room."
"What? Why?" Eri pouted, not wanting to leave and miss a chance to see more stories of Deku.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think this next one is... appropriate for you to see." Bj explained, resulting in Eri looking to the side in sadness.
Aizawa raised up a hand to politely comment on the situation. "Excuse me, but I'm not sure if leaving Eri on her own with you is a good idea. No offense, but I don't know if I trust her in your care."
Mirio nodded in agreement. "Aizawa-Sensei has a point. Perhaps I should go with her. I do not mind missing out on a few universes."
"Don't worry about that. I've already considered that. That's why I brought... him." He replied, pointing off to the side. Everyone looks to where he was pointing. Their eyes widen in surprise at who they see.
"Deku?!" Both Eri and Ochako said in shock at once. To the side, we see Midoriya casually walking in. Though he was strangely wearing an apron for some reason.
"Wait, I thought you said Young Midoriya was at home sleeping." All Might pointed out.
Bj nodded. "And he still is. Your Midoriya at least. This Midoriya however is not like yours."
Midoriya politely bowed before them. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. While I have met your counterparts from my universe, I guess this is technically our first meeting."
"You see, this Midoriya comes from a universe much like your own. However, this Midoriya had become Eri's legal guardian. In other words, he's the Eri from his universes adoptive father."
Everyone's jaw dropped at the news. This Midoriya... is a father? That was probably the most bizarre thing they had heard up to now. Eri however, had different thoughts as opposed to the others.
'Lucky her.' She thought. Having someone like Deku as a father would have been miles better than being taken care of by Overhaul. Even now, while her situation has definitely improved, she still would love to be taken care of by someone as kind as Deku.
"Now, with this Midoriya here, he can take care of Eri while we watch this universe." Bj explained.
Eri gasped at the idea.
"Oh right. I actually brought a treat for her." Midoriya said as he pulls out something that had Eri drooling. A shiny candied apple.
Aizawa rubbed his chin as he thought this over. "Well it is Midoriya. I guess if Eri's fine with it we can-"
"Yes yes yes!" She shouted in excitement before rushing out of her seat to Midoriya. She leaps into his arms as he chuckles at her behavior.
Bj smiled at the display before pointing off to the side. "Head that way and you two will find a room to relax in. Its got snacks, a couch, a tv, just about everything you two will need."
Midoriya nodded as he and Eri left the room. Nearly everyone there smiled at how adorable the two were together, making them realize how Izuku would make for a great father in the future.
"Ok, now that that's taken care of, time to get this next viewing started."
Iida raised up a hand. "Mister Bj, none of us asked at the time, but what makes this universe inappropriate?"
"First of all, don't call me that ever again. Second, lets just say the Midoriya in this one is a little... less heroic than what you've seen."
"Wait, what do you mean by th-" Mina started before being interrupted.
"Too late, putting it in!" Bj said quickly before shoving the tape in and disappearing. A few were able to catch what the tape said, however they did not know what it eluded to, as it said...
'The Night'
We fade in on a view of a castle. It was nighttime, so little to no detail could be seen, other than it's dark silhouette against the night sky. In the middle was a tall tower, standing over all the rest. What seemed like a window in it was casting light, showing that someone indeed did live there.
A drum beat began to play as we zoomed in closer and closer to the tower. Inside the tower, we see a pair of hands slowly sliding on gloves in time with the music as the guitar plays, amping the music. Afterward, they then grabbed what looked to be a cape from a stand.
"What's with the music?" Yaoyorozu wondered out loud.
"Well, the others had some music in it right?" Kaminari said.
"Yeah, however, it seems more prominent in this one."
At what appears to be the front door of the castle, someone carefully walks in, revealing herself as a young woman with short-length brown hair, holding a book in her arms. She smiles to herself as she believes the castle to be abandoned.
Everyone was surprised to see said woman, seeing as she resembled someone among them.
"Is that... you Jirou?" Yaoyorozu asked.
Jirou was absolutely befuddled at the sight of her in this universe. "What am I doing there?" She wondered out loud.
"I'm more curious about your brown hair." Mina commented.
Toru nodded. "Yeah, what's up with that?"
Jirou shrugged. "I don't know. It kind of reminds me of my dads. Although his is more of a blonde."
We see the back of the mysterious person from before standing in front of a mirror. From his figure, you can see that he is male, has short and messy green hair, as well as near pale-white skin.
The man could be seen fixing up his outfit before grabbing his top hat and rushing off.
Jirou sets her backpack down as she finds a spot to sit to read, revealing it to be "Twilight." Opening the book, we flash to mans glowing red eyes and wicked grin, showing off his fangs before pulling back to see his full figure, however the upper half of his body is noticeably darkened, covering up his face.
"Pale skin? Glowing red eyes? Sharp teeth? Twilight? Is Midoriya a freaking vampire?" Kirishima asked.
No one was really sure. If he was however, that would explain how Bj said he was a little less heroic. As most of them thought this over, Yaoyorozu couldn't help but think about a vampire Midoriya.
She has read her fair share of Twilight in her off, and couldn't but blush as she imagined the story of said book around herself and vampire Midoriya.
(AN: I have never read or seen Twilight, nor have any intention to do so, so I have nothing to go off of if it is actually as romantic as some say it is. Just wanted to point that out.)
Cast in a pitch-black suit and cape with the inside being red, the man grabs a strange looking cane. The top looked bat-like, with wide wings and sharp ears. Similar to the man, it also wielded glowing red eyes.
Walking down a flight of stairs, the man holds out his cane. The top opens, revealing fire blazing from the inside. He then swings it in front of him, mystically causing the all candles hung up down the hall to light up one by one, eventually reaching over by where Jirou was reading.
"You know, it is pretty dumb to go to an abandoned castle just to read some book. Even if there wasn't a monster there, you don't know what you can run into." Tsuyu pointed out.
Noticing the candles weirdly lighting up, Jirou cautiously stands, looking around to see who could be responsible for this. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew right by her, causing her see at the end of the wall, atop a balcony, stood a strange figure.
We zoom in to see him covering himself with his cape. Moving it aside, we see Izuku Midoriya, or as he's otherwise known as in this universe, as the duke.
Suddenly, out of seemingly nowhere, he starts to go into song.
~The day is the wife whom I elude~
He began as he removed his hat and bowed, knowing it to be courteous when greeting someone.
~The one to whom I should be right~
~Although forewarned by peers and kin, I always get into the night~
This caught nearly everyone by surprise. While part of it was the shock of seeing Midoriya start singing, but it was also the shock of how nice his voice was. This Midoriya's voice sounded deeper and more mature than their Midoriya.
While their Midoriya's voice would constantly crack from anxiety, this one just exuded confidence.
Making his way up to the rails, Izuku jumps down to the lower floor, flapping his cape back as he lands. He smirks at Jirou as he slowly walked over to her. Despite being around the same height, Jirou couldn't help but feel small as this otherworldly figure's strangely large shadow cast over her.
~The night, she calls me, she calls me, she calls me~
Izuku sang, his shoulders shimmying to the music before suddenly disappearing. Jirou looked befuddled, wondering what just happened. Behind her, a dark silhouette of Izuku formed.
~She sways in her velvet dress, and pulls me towards her in the dark.~
Hearing him still singing, Jirou jumped in surprise and looked behind her to see where he was. However, Izuku kept moving just out of her sight, until she went full circle and found nothing.
Placing a finger on her chin, wondering just where he went, Jirou was suddenly startled once more as he popped up right to her side. She tried running away down the hall, wanting to get away from him.
~While the others rest~
~While the others rest~
Izuku instantly sped right past her without her seeing. She looked behind herself to see if he was chasing her, only to somehow almost run into him before stopping himself.
Izuku then, using his cane, knocked Jirou's book up out of her hand and onto the ground, only for the pages to begin flying out of the book. Jirou looked back frighteningly at Izuku, a large smirked still adorned on his face, showing he was having fun toying with her.
"The fiend." Yaoyorozu quietly growled upon seeing Twilight being knocked to the ground.
She tried running for the door, only for Izuku to snap his fingers and cause the door shut and lock. Jirou looked horrified, finding that she couldn't escape from this psychopath.
~Heed the call the time has come~
~Mothers come she is the night~
Izuku continued as he held out his cane to Jirou, a long red cloth shooting out and grabbing her by the arm. He pulls her closer as he sings.
~Come with me to the other side~
Removing the cloth from her arm, Jirou tries running away again, only for more to come after her and wrap around her entire body.
~Make the girl in black your bride~
Lifting her up into the air, the cloth engulfs Jirou before bursting her out, looking noticeably different. She now dawned a dark velvet dress along with pitch black, high-heeled boots, and her once brown hair was now a dark purple.
"Really? What's with the dress?" Jirou groaned into her hands, clearly unhappy with the site before her.
Uraraka gently pats her on the back, trying to comfort her. "W-well, at least it looks pretty. And hey, your hair looks normal."
Despite it not really helping, Jirou did appreciate the thought.
Falling to the ground, Jirou looks over her new clothes in confusion. Because of this, she fails to see more cloth come up behind her and wrap tightly around her waist.
~The night, she calls me~
~She calls me, she calls me~
Izuku starts pulling her towards him, Jirou tries to escape, but finds herself unable to remove the cloth. Coming face to face with Izuku, we suddenly flash to Jirou limply swaying in the air.
~She sways in her velvet dress~
~And pulls me towards her in the dark~
She looks up to see thing strings attached to her wrist, manipulating her arms. Above her is Izuku on his balcony, puppeteering her with his cane as he ammusedly watches her squirm.
~While the others rest~
~While the others rest~
Biting off the string, Jirou manages to remove herself from Izuku grasp, falling back down to the floor. Surprised Izuku jumps down and tries to grab her, only for her to run away down one of the halls.
Izuku groans in annoyance before chasing after her.
"Yeah! You book it girl!" Mina cheered, causing Jirou to smile a bit.
"Though it's not like she can outrun him. You saw how fast he was." Sero pointed out.
Jirou runs up a flight of stairs, only to see Izuku already at the top. He playfully waves at her before pulling down a lever. The stairs suddenly invert into a slide, causing Jirou to slide back down, Izuku following after.
She races down another hallway, Izuku still on her tail. Jirou hides behind a corner and sees Izuku rush right past her, seemingly unaware she was there. Jirou then began to make her way back to the entrance hall. Right when she finally made it to the door, Izuku grasps her wrist before she can even touch the handle.
He playfully wags his finger back and forth, telling her he won't allow her to leave. Suddenly, the two become dark silhouettes over a red background as they start dancing. Well, more like Izuku was dancing and Jirou was just unable to resist.
"I'm still confused. What does he want with Jirou?" Toru said, a befuddled expression on her invisible face.
"Maybe to suck her blood? He is a vampire right?"
Tsuyu placed a finger on her chin in contemplation. "But if that is what he's after, why is he toying with her?"
"Besides, this Midoriya only sucks guys." Bj said out of nowhere.
Everyone looks to Bj bewildered, wondering if they had heard him correctly.
She tried running, only to be pulled back by his cane. He grasps he hand and starts twirling her, making her nauseas.
~It just seems very strange to me~
~Not her quiet lonely streets~
~And draped in all her mystery~
~Could be so sweet and comforting~
Izuku sings as they swing to and fro. Jirou was starting to lose hope in ever leaving this mad man grasp. That is until, during their dance, he dipped her so low she saw the drapes behind her. Her eyes widened as she sees a little light shining through them.
~The night, she calls me~
~She calls me, she calls me~
Looking back up at Izuku, she sees his blood red eyes and razor sharp fangs. An idea sparks in head as she knew exactly how to take down this vampiric menace.
Everyone went silent at what this was implying. While they knew she essentially had no choice but to do so, it was still an unsettling thought. Especially for Jirou as it was essentially her doing the act.
~She sways in her velvet dress~
~And pulls me towards her in the dark~
Izuku sings as he watches Jirou, the girl who has been doing everything she can to get away from him for the past few hours, now suddenly starts going along with him before seductively grasping his chin and backing to the end of the hallway.
He watches in confusion as she becks him forward with her finger, a seductive smile on her face. Izuku looks towards the audience in surprise before suddenly grinning as he walks toward her.
Jirou started getting flustered at her alternate versions action. It was obvious that she was doing it to trick him, but it was still a little embarrassing to watch herself seemingly seduce Midoriya of all people.
~While the others rest~
~While the others rest~
Izuku removes his cape and tosses his top hat aside as he gets closer and closer. Reaching Jirou, Izuku turns towards the audience and wags his eyebrow at them.
"Does he know we're watching this?" Midnight wondered.
"That would explain why he's singing of all things." Aizawa added.
He grabs Jirou's arms and rushes to the end of the hall. He finds a small pillar with a stone gargoyle atop it before smacking the gargoyle away and sitting Jirou atop it.
Izuku leans in towards her as he removes his gloves, not noticing Jirou reaching her arms up to a small rope she assumed would pull back the curtains. While she was close, she couldn't quite reach them.
He then starts untying her corset, revealing more of her cleavage, while also lifting up her skirt.
Everyone was getting noticeably uncomfortable while watching this. Even Mineta, in all his perverseness, did not like watching this take place. While he may love looking up skirts and casually groping girls, even he had his limits.
Jirou couldn't help but get flustered at the image of Izuku forcing himself on her, even if she was pretending to be interested for her plan. It was just something she never thought she'd see, or even think about.
Jirou begins to freak out as she frantically tries to grab the rope until finally... She did it!
Pulling the rope down, each of the curtains start opening, filling the room with sunlight. Surprised by this, Izuku doesn't see Jirou reach for his cane and use it to knock him back, right into the light.
Izuku screams in pain as his body starts to decompose, until finally, he crumples onto the floor, turning into ash.
They all went silent at the sight of Midoriya dying. While yes, this one kind of deserved it, and they saw Midoriya die a lot in the first viewing, they still weren't too comfortable watching it happen again.
In the first one, it was played off for laughs, considering he didn't stay dead for long. But here, they could tell it wouldn't be like the first.
This death was permanent.
Jirou was most affected by this, since she was watching herself do this.
Jirou looks down at Izuku's corpse with an unsympathetic look on her face. She looks up at the audience as her skin suddenly turns pale white, her eyes a blood red, and her ears become pointed... Just like Izuku's
She grins at the audience as she caresses the cane, fading to black as the song ends.
They were all left appalled by the end. None had understood what it meant. Is Jirou a vampire now? Was she one the whole time? Was it because of the cane? No one voiced these thoughts however, except for Mina of course.
"I... wha... how... I have so many questions!"
"Too bad, on to the next one!" Bj said as he snapped his fingers, disappearing from sight.
"Wait!"
AN: Sorry Mina, the show must go on!
Anyway, I really should give credit to Daria Cohen, seeing as her animation, 'The Night' was obviously the inspiration for this chapter. Both the song and animation are amazing, and you guys should really look into both.
The main reason I made this chapter actually was because of a vampire I was working on a while ago. However, since my computer was on the fritz, I lost a huge chunk of the chapter I was writing before I could save. Because of this, I lost the energy I had while writing it, and haven't touched it since. I guess this chapter was a way to satisfy the idea of a vampire fic.
