Izuku was looking to the rooftops across the street for his assailant. He has an arrow in his shoulder. Normally he'd tear it out but the tip was silver so he needed it to stop the bleeding. An arrow whizzed by his head and he moved behind a dumpster. He peeked out from behind the dumpster to see a tall Dark haired woman with some type of cross bow. He recognized it from the Movie Van Helsing. It was actually kind of cool in Izuku's opinion, although he'd always think guns are cooler and definitely better. The kind that had a little barrel and kept shooting. That was all he saw before the cross on the front of the cross bow blinded him. He instantly got back behind the dumpster and rubbed at his eyes. He heard a thud. She must have come down from the roof. He heard footsteps in his direction. Once the footsteps were accompanied by an echo, that told him she was in the alley way with him, he pushed the dumpster as hard as he could. He felt resistance and heard a thud and a groan. He carried her out of the alley, only stopping when her added weight fell off the dumpster.
"So what got you into Vampire hunting?" asks Izuku, "You're actually the first hunter I've met. Am I going to have to worry about more of you after this fight or is it a one and done kind of deal?"
He didn't get a response he did however hear a chain rattle and come closer. He dove to the side and felt the wind from her chain. He continued to dodge her chain as he heard it coming. He really couldn't do anything but dodge. Out of nowhere it just stopped. There was no chain. No attacks. Just silence. He listened for something, anything… a breath. He jumps out of the way in time as he hears metal clang against asphalt. She's using a sword now. What was with that klang sound? Izuku tried to repeat the sound with his teeth but it was more of a click. He dodged. What was that? He clicks again, he dodges again. Is that echolocation? He tried clicking again this time he dove for the blob in front of him. He swung forward. He hit metal and heard a groan and a skidding sound. He dashed forward and grabbed the crossbow he was aiming at her. He would have destroyed the cross blinding him if it were anything else but instead he took it off and threw it away. He jumped back as she swung her sword at him.
"You really aint gonna answer my question. It was just a harmless question. Well harmless to you anyways. The answer could get me killed so I'd really like an answer. I'd answer you if you asked. Do unto others as you'd have done unto yourself and all that." says Izuku.
Izuku began clicking rapidly and jumping around because she was firing at him with her cross bow. His vision was sort of coming back to him. It was sort of like seeing without glasses but he could make out shapes. She was out of arrows it was back to the chain and the sword. She was swinging at him with the chain and whenever he closed the gap she would swing at him with the sword. He was thinking of just stopping the fight and shooting her leg out from under her but it was Christmas he was feeling generous.
"Hey have you ever noticed that like literally nobody shows up for this? Like the part of town you ambush me in is conveniently the side without security cameras. Or that time no reinforcements came along when I was fighting muscular. I assume you know about my fights. If you were looking to kill me you'd probably do your homework on me, right? Or like when I fought Overhaul not a single civilian got caught up in that. Or the times pro heroes have tried to arrest me. Nobody shows up. Like there is just no one there. But whenever I go somewhere without a fight it's super busy. Even if it's a place I fought at in the past. It's kind of weird right?" says Izuku.
"..."
"Are you like mute… or something? No that can't be right you talked to me a little while ago." says Izuku, "Whatever. I guess you don't have to talk. I gotta tell ya I got places to be. I'll just finish this up. I always thought vampire hunters would be a lot stronger. Maybe there are stronger ones out there."
Izuku dashes under her chain, clawed her sword and hit her in the stomach and sent her stumbling. He followed up with a kick to the shoulder to send her on her back. When she landed she dropped her weapons. She scrambled to her feet jumped onto the side of a building and jumped off that to get above him. He saw her reach for a knife. She was gonna try to drop down on him and stab him. Like he'd let her get away with that. He lifts his revolver straight into the air. Yeah he brings his guns everywhere he goes, so what.
"Good luck dodging in mid air, ya dumb ass." says Izuku.
As Izuku was taking aim and talking shit, she threw the knife down. Oh that's not good. He didn't see that coming. The knife planted itself in his forehead and out the back of his head. A sickening squelch sound was heard as his blood shot out of the back of his head onto the white snow below him. With wide eyes he falls back. His grip going limp around his gun as he falls into the now crimson snow. The girl coming in for a landing was the last thing he saw before everything faded to black. Normally when things went black the stayed that way until Izuku was revived. This was different it was bright it was white. Everything was white as far as the eyes could see. Everything except that toll booth looking place to pass through a gate. Someone was in the booth.
"Hey." calls Izuku to get their attention, "Where am I?"
"Heaven of course." says the gatekeeper, "well at least right outside heaven anyways. I have to read all of your sins to let you in there. Before I do that, do you have any questions?"
"I have a couple of questions. First who are you?" asks Izuku.
"My name is Simon Peter. Most know me as Saint Peter." says Saint Peter.
" Like the Saint Peter? Like the apostle?" asks Izuku.
"Correct." says Saint Peter.
" Well in that case, it's a pleasure to meet you." says Izuku.
"Pleasure's all mine." says Saint Peter with a smile.
"Next question. I've never gone to heaven before. What's different this time?" asks Izuku.
"You fell to a holy blade. It opened the gate out of purgatory. Be proud you're in heaven. Not many vampires make it here." says Saint Peter.
"Oh that reminds me. Is there a guy named Vlad Tepis up here?" asks Izuku.
Saint Peter shakes his head. Izuku nods understandingly.
"Can you tell me about him?" asks Izuku.
Saint Peter looks thoughtful.
"I know he's not up here but was he a bad person? I've only heard good things about him and I've wanted to hear what he was really like." says Izuku.
"He… was a very bad man when he was younger. He hurt a lot of good people. As he got older he tried to better himself. He met Ruby. He changed, he tried to be a good man. The things he did when he was younger doomed was no way for him to repent for all of his sins." says Saint Peter.
"What sins?" asks Izuku.
"It isn't my place to tell you the sins of another man." says Saint Peter.
"Alright one last question." says Izuku.
"Ask away." replies Saint Peter.
"Am I gonna get out of here?" asks Izuku.
That question seems to stump Peter.
"I'm not sure. I've never read the sins of a vampire. Although if I'm not mistaken, I heard that looking at a clock or a watch might help somehow. At Least I heard it works in hell. I'm not sure if it will help us at all up here." says Saint Peter.
"Will a phone work?" asks Izuku.
"Does it tell time?" asks Saint Peter.
"Yeah." replies Izuku.
"Try it." says Saint Peter.
Izuku reaches into his pockets… he checks his other pockets. He notices Saint Peter staring at him.
"What are looking at me like that for?" asks Izuku.
"You don't take things with you up here. Just your clothes." says Saint Peter with an amused smile.
"Oh.. right." says Izuku.
"Here I have a pocket watch look at it." says Saint Peter as he pulls it out of his pocket.
"That's a timer." says Izuku.
"No it's a clock." says Saint Peter.
"Dude, that's a timer." says Izuku.
Saint Peter looks at him all confused.
"It's a timer for me, man." says Izuku.
Izuku and Saint Peter's heads perk up.
"It's a timer for you." says Saint Peter, " I have a theory."
"You think I see a timer because when it hits zero I'm gonna go back." says Izuku.
"That's absolutely right. Although that means you've been revived." says Saint Peter.
"Yeah, I wonder who could've done that. Does time work differently up here?" asks Izuku.
"A little bit I think. Not too sure." says Saint Peter.
"Can I see the timer?" asks Izuku.
Izuku's eyes widen as he looks at it.
"What is it?" asks Saint Peter.
"I'm gonna be up here for almost twenty four hours." says Izuku.
"Wait, why?" asks Izuku.
Saint Peter pulls up a thick packet of paper and sets it down on the counter with a thud.
"It's a long list." says Saint Peter.
"I did all that?" asks Izuku incredulously.
"I count all sins but not all sins count against you." says Saint Peter.
"Oh… so most of those are like really petty things I've done?" asks Izuku.
"They always are. Some tend to be amusing." says Saint Peter.
Saint Peter was right about them needing to get started. Izuku was bored out of his mind. He was just sitting here listening to Saint Peter for a bit over twenty three hours. Finally, it was finally over. He could finally enter the gates.
"Wow, yours was prettys short." says Saint Peter.
"That was short?" asks Izuku.
"Compared to some yes. Compared to others not at all." says Saint Peter, "But compared to most, yes."
"So to reiterate, that's it. I can go in. asks Izuku.
"Yeah, I'll show you around it's beautiful." says Saint Peter.
They walk through the gate and the endless white plain turns into a sprawling city. There were stars in the sky. It was beautiful. Maybe the most beautiful thing Izuku had ever seen in his entire life. He'd regret saying what he was about to say. He honestly has no idea what compelled him to say this.
"It's nice as hell up here." says Izuku.
Saint Peter and everybody nearby looks at him with various levels of confusion and shock. The timer hits zero and Izuku disappears from sight. Back in the land of the living Izuku shoots up.
"Oh you're alive." says a voice.
Izuku turns around to see the vampire hunter sitting there.
Izuku looks around for Ruby before saying, "It looks like it."
"I brought you back." says the huntress.
"Yeah but why?" asks Izuku.
"I have a couple of questions." says the huntress.
"Only if I can ask mine after." says Izuku.
"That's fine." says the huntress, "Why do you carry a bible with you?"
"... To read it?" says Izuku.
"Why didn't you crush my cross bow?" asks the huntress.
"The cross on the front." replies Izuku.
"You said you had some questions for me?" says the huntress.
"Ya got a name?" asks Izuku.
"Gabriella Belmont." says Gabriella.
"Like Gabriel Belmont?" asks Izuku.
"I was named after him." says Gabriella.
"Okay, next am I still alive. Don't lie to me." says Izuku.
"You praise the lord right?" asks Gabriela.
Izuku nods. Gabriela nods back.
"Are you gonna get in trouble for not killing me?" asks Izuku.
"The family will understand. A while back, Trevor Belmont worked alongside a vampire. We know you aren't all bad." says Gabriela.
"Okay… one last thing." says Izuku.
"Yeah?" asks Gabriela.
"You're kind of a bitch." says Izuku.
"Mhm. Anyways here is my business card. Call me if you find a monster that you can't beat." says Gabriela.
"You'd kill it wouldn't you?" asks Izuku.
"I would." replies Gabriela.
"I'd call some other people first." says Izuku.
"You really make a terrible vampire." says Gabriela.
"Coming from the huntress who let me live?" asks Izuku.
Gabriela smirks at Izuku, "Coming from the Vampire who I beat?"
"I could have plugged you full of lead a while back… maybe I ain't the best vampire out there." says Izuku.
"Alright well I've got things to do." says Gabriela.
"I planned on going to church." says Izuku.
"What's stopping you?" asks Gabriela.
"This shirt wasn't read when we started. Also how long was I dead?" asks Izuku.
"About a minute." says Gabriela.
"Okay see ya around." says Izuku as he turns and heads home to spend the rest of this Christmas with his family.
Authors Note
So I finally got around to the heaven chapter. Maybe I should have made it a whole chapter but this felt nice to me. I'm still not to sure about bringing Gabriella back. Although I plan on having Izuku beef with a couple dozen vampires in the future and it would be a pretty good time to bring her back. I finally got Izuku to say, "it's nice as hell up here." in the middle of heaven. I think it's even funnier with they way he vanishes right after. Everyone there had to be so confused. They had to be wondering if he went to hell for that joke. I'm kind of thinking about it and I am liking the idea of Gabriela sticking around in the story. Just because a vampire and a vampire hunter just working together and making fun of each other sounds fun to write. I actually enjoyed writing this chapter a lot as well. Also hooray we've hit the five death mark for Izuku. The next chapter is gonna be a little altercation with the sapphire serpent. I actually do have some big plans for the serpent and a bit of syndicate history written for them. I'm not gonna go super far into it but they've been around since before quirks. Also Victor is gonna show up in the next chapter.
One thing I want to say that isn't related to the story at all is that I've changed my name on steam to team rocket official so I can pretend to be Jessie, James, or Meowth while playing team fortress 2 or other games. I'm gonna set a bind to say, "Team Rocket's blasting of agaaaaaaain!" every time I die. It's going to be hilarious. I'm also going to call everybody twerp or some childish insult.
One last thing that's completely unrelated. I've gotten private messages on here from people trying to catfish me. The thing none of them know is that I'm a fat underage loser. It's such a wild and funny concept that I get messages like that. I don't even know what to do with them but I laugh my ass off every single time.

Teuton Wolf: That would actually be super funny. Like I've only heard one of your ideas but I ought to look out for some more. I'd have stuck with the idea you had but I don't want anybody at U.A. to realize that Izuku is Ketuiki at first. Although you are right about one thing, that definitely would have been a pretty awkward situation.
Draconic King: Oh shit is right my guy.
Atomic Dragon 59: Izuku to the dummy trio group chat, "Oh god, oh fuck." Also about Izuku's nonchalance, it was more of him really not wanting to do this on Christmas any other day of the year would be fine. Actually what I just said was stupid that's exactly what nonchalance is. Looking back on a lot of the chapters I've wrote I can firmly say Izuku is straight chilling constantly. He meets the hero killer, the man with the highest body count since All Might's debut. By the end of the night their homies.
Amadeus Amadeus: Izuku probably will put some parental controls on. Either that or Dabi will. Toga probably wouldn't. I don't think Izuku would look down on other people's vices seeing as he is an alcoholic. One thing I'd like to get back to is having Dabi and Izuku sitting around the living room and having one of their heart to hearts or philosophical discussions where Izuku talks about making sure he doesn't look down on other people as long as he continues to be an alcoholic. By all accounts including Izuku's own he's kind of a bum. He dropped out of school, doesn't have a real job, fights people nearly constantly, steals most of his money. The only redeeming factor is his music.
