4 years later
It was a bright and sunny day in Mufasta and people were all hurrying to the same location.
After years of deliberating and many, many, MANY designs and re-designs, a secondary staute was finally being placed next to the one of All Might.
Said Pro, enjoying the last few years of his teaching career, stared at the tarp with anticipation, dread and regret.
"Uncle Toshi!"
He turned to see Melissa floating down with her father in her arms, while her wife Mei nursed their newborn son. Hugging his goddaughter and best friend, Toshi's worries left for a second
"Luz, Amity and Pony's plane was delayed." Melissa sighed. "And since Luz is pregnant, Amity's not letting her fly through her Quirk…."
Melissa knew her fellow Americans were angered by the delay, but also knew they had to do this right.
"Dorothy and Maine send their regards as well." Mei added. "And Noi's working security with Seyru, Kohta, Mukuro, 21 and Ulqi….Poor guys are still taking this hard."
"We all are." Kankei smiled sadly, putting a finger to his lips as he held his sleeping daughter. Kirishima and Mina were nearby and motioned someone forward.
Toshi's smile faded as he saw his successor to his long touted rank: Dynamight, AKA, Katsuki Bakugo, hand in hand with his wife Himiko, visibly pregnant and being supported by her mother-in-law.
"Dang it, Mels. Ya beat me." Katsuki smirked.
"'Dang it'?" Melissa smirked.
"No potty mouith for my grandbaby!" Masaru had outright demanded, making many smile.
"UNCA KA-CHAN!"
Katsuki's sad smile brightened as he knelt down to see a little girl with girl hair and big eyes flying towards him, her little wings flapping in spite of her already definibng gravity.
"Kibo, stay close!" Ocahcko Uraraka hurrided after her daughter, a smirking Nui and Crona not far behind.
"Sorry, mama." The little girl frowned, but giggled when Ochako kissed her.
"Is that our little niece?" A suddenly appearing Masato and Katrianna smiled, the former holding his now elderly father in his arms while Katrianna messed with the little girl's hair.
"HELLOOOOOO SANCTUARY!"
Everyone turned to see Luz, Amity and Pony being carried by Spinel as she dashed at inhuman speeds. Kipo struggled and reached for them, and Amity, ever weak to anything cute, leapt forwards with Luz in her arms to nuzzle her goddaughter's nose.
Soon, the crowd had gathered and Prime Minister Akira Kongo, joined by UA principal Yuno Gasai, Ellie Hodunk, Axol and Bridget, stepped forward.
"Good afternoon. Thank you all for coming." Akira began, his usual stocisim breaking. "While the weather is beautiful, this event is…something I've tried to avoid, shamefully. The truth is…I loved him, as did we all in Sancutary. And I miss him. To see this finally being done in a way we all know he would've been pleased with…both makes and breaks my heart. But, the brother in me is deeply proud to have known this man. And I know for a fact that, while he is missed and always will be, that he did what he had to do with no regrets…and a smile on his face. With that…We present the reason you all came."
Axol pulled down the tarp, revealing a statue of a draconic being hunched forward, as if ready to strike. But his face was calm, kind…and loving. Beneath his clawed feet, it read:
IN MEMORIAM OF IZUKU MIDORIYA, WHOSE SELFLESS SACRIFICE SAVED THE WORLD
Everyone in the crowed, be they from Sancutary, UA, Shinketsu, America or anywhere else, saluted the statue, fighting back tears as Ochako and Kipo were escourtred up to the statue by Shoto Todoroki. Ochacko laid her forehead onto Izuku's and let out a few tears as little Kipo patted the statue's face.
"Hi daddy." She smiled.
And somehow? Everyopne knew that Izuku Midoriya was with the love of his life and the child he never met.
A child his friends…no, siblings, would ensure was happy and loved. And considering all; they went through? That would be easy.
From the start of the original Sanctuary, Knightmare Lord (AKA Joker Curry) and myself had agreed that sadly, our favorite green haired dragon boy would not live to see the better world he and his friends create and that their children live in, although his death does ensure lasting peace and as you see in this chapter, EVERYONE respects him.
Now, KL and myself have only recently decided on the how (NO SPOILERS!), but relax; its not for at least…..30 or so chapters (number likely to go up, it all depends).
This Snippet just came to me and I feel it was a nice wasy to segway into the PROPER reason Snippets was started: For the next while, all Snippets will be the long awaited and pushed back 'origin' chapters for Class Sacnutary. Any takers on whose story you want to see first?
