Sanctuary and the Yurimoto clan vs CRC
Even with Quirks, Halloween was a special time. For on this day, most fears were lessened and outcasts welcomed, even if mostly because the masses thought they were in costume alone. And even if not, what self respecting group wants to assault an innocent person in a costume?
For a small village, that somehow still managed to keep itself hidden for centuries, this year would change everything.
A year ago, the prodigal daughter of the village head had returned with her family. A trip that...honestly went better than one expected.
Now the family was back, and they were not alone
"Thank you again, Mr. and Mrs. Williams." Sidney smiled, grateful to be in her true rat form, along with her family and clan.
"Well, I wish I could take that thanks, but...well, you'll see the real hero later." Sam Williams, best-selling horror author smiled.
"HEY COUS!"
Twin girls, Momo and Mitsu raced towards their little cousin, who waved hello and motioned her friends over.
"Sist, are you sure this'll be okay?" The twins' mother, Yori, asked Emiko Williams, who just smiled.
"Dad and mom need a wake-up call. And with all that drama finished for now, plus that party? If it doesn't do that? At least we can see them getting pummeled."
"Got to say, now I kind of do wanna see that." Kentaro mused, his focus being on his niece introducing her friends.
Fumiko tailed behind, glancing at her grinning parents.
"Who could best father and mother, besides All Might?" Rin asked.
Emiko smiled.
"Rin, before I left Japan, I left something of an impression in the delinquent world. And there's a whole class of high schoolers who took down an army of punks and wannabes. Besides, it'll be nice for Erma and her friends to see a more…city like Japan." Emiko then nuzzled up against her her husband. "And we can have some alone time…"
Sam's face turned red at his wife's words, as did Yori and their other sisters and brother.
"Children." Their parents called out, ending the chatter. "We march, remember?"
CRC
"Sweeties! The party is starting soon!" Mamako, dressed as Minnie Mouse, cooed at the doorstep of a familar, single dormitory at UA High for Heroics...
Nedzu had wanted to go as Ratigan, his favorite Disney character (so what if he was a villain? That rat had personality and presence!) but considering the trouble his students faced (and how rare it was for him and Mamako to go out in public together), he had dressed up as Mickey to accompany her.
After the events of the 97 District Project, Class Sanctuary, in gratitude for all they'd done (especially after Riddler's latest 'game' gave them the credit for the REVOCS war they'd been denied) had been invited to a Halloween party at the newly finished Mufasta Community center bulit by Uraraka Construction with funds from….'Izuku's entrance fee' (AKA money All for One stole from the formerly corrupt HPSC).
"COMING, MOM!" Masato hollered back. "CLASS SANCUTARY! ROLL OUT!"
As the kids descended into the lobby, Jin, dressed as Two-Face, hollered and jeered at them.
Melissa was going as Stars & Stripes while Kohta and Mukuro paired up as Dirty Harry and Lady Blue. Maine and Dorothy had gone as Optimus Prime and Elita-1 while Kaneki had whipped up a Danny Phantom costume.
"Huh. With all the literature you read, would've figured you'd go as the Phantom of the Opera or Quasimodo." Noi, dressed as Wonder Woman, mused.
"Touka was set to go as Sam and refused to wear anything 'frilly'." Kaneki mused. "That and I'd rather not see other gawk at my girlfriend, lovely as she would be, in midevil romani atture. Besides I'm certain I'm not the only 'out of character' choice."
Akira, in a surprise to many, had dressed up as a salaryman…or as much as a salaryman as a 10 foot teen with muscles that would make Schwarzenegger and Stallone whimper at in inadequacy.
Hana had followed in suit by going as
Masato was going as Chojuro from Naruto, partnering with Katrina as Mizukage Mei.
"Honestly Mas. Some eye liner, hair gel and a Gord? You'd make a great Gaara." Luz, now wearing a witch hat and werewolf costume minus the head with special contacts, mused.
"Maybe but last I read, he doesn't have a love interest." Masato mused, bringing Katrina in close.
"My, how forward of a subordinate." Katrina mused
"Can I help it if beauty itself is in front of me?" Masato retorted.
"No, but Beauty is in the eyes of the be-HOOOOOOOLY! DIOS MIOS! SWEET POTATO!" Luz started and then shouted in delight.
Amity had done her hair up in a longer ponytail, died her hair completely purple and dressed like an aviator pilot.
"How do I look? I know you wanted…MPH!"
Luz silenced Amity with a kiss
"…Please stop being so cute, my heart can't take it." Luz whispered. "Don't actually."
"Oy! Get a room!" Tetsuo, dressed as Beetlejuice, mused. "Or let us watch….Don't tell Kaori I said that."
"Going to."
Sho had opted for the robes of a monk and Ulqiorra was, perhaps fitting, a vampire. This annoyed 21, who went as Genie from Aladdin and apparently wanted her boyfriend to do the same.
Ellie had decided to go as a Borg from Star Trek and Crona, after some coaxing and promising from Ragnarök that he'd behave, decided to go as Venom from the old Spiderman comics, a sleeping Alas=Ramus happily asleep on their back. Lucy was Carrie in a bloodstained dress, Nui was dressed as Hercule Pioriot and Yuno has decided to go as Spinel…as the only other pink haired characters she could think up where…lacking and she refused to risk relapse by going as 'Yan-Chan.'
Penny had decided to go as Red Riding Hood and Velvet had dressed up as a pirate. Roromiya decided to go as a reaper, Tang Yun went as a dragon while Kanato was Freddy Fazbear, with Seras deciding to go as Boonie Bunny. This left Axol to go as Bowser, Shiro as as a doctor and Seryu as the late Pro Hero Nimbus, AKA Nana Shimura.
And finally, there was Izuku himself: Wearing a green vest, dress shirt, black jeans and combat boots with gloves, what stood out most was the make-up on his face: He'd lost his draconic appearance to a delinquent's Quirk Eraser bullet, strictly temporary. But he missed his scales and horns, so with some help from Luz and Ellie, he was looking as well as he could.
Spinel, Tae and Himiko had left earlier top help set up the party, and in Himiko's case, a surprise for Katsuki.
"Looking wonderful, babies!" Mamako cooed as she took a picture, hearimng some footsteps. "Now, have a good time!"

"Are you sure you're okay missing the party, Emi?": Bridget, in a priest/nun costume fusion, asked the martial artist, who had decided to dress as Mitsuri Kanroji from Demon Slayer.
"For the kids? Of course." Emi assured her, enjoying the sight of Kanna in a dragon costume, Anya as Zorro and Eri as The Spot. "What about you two?"
The Skycrawler, along with his wife, was dressed as a Kangaroo with their baby in Pop-Step's arms.
"After all the craziness? A calmer Halloween is nice." Koichi mused, sneaking a kiss from his wife and daughter.
"And besides, the baby's not going to need any candy, so we don't have to share!" Pop-Step beamed.
"We're supposed to say….'Merry Christmas?'" The unicorn asked in confusion.
"Now, that is later…quite." Koichi smiled warmly.
"Evil Spirits out, good spirits in?"
"Well…maybe…." The Skycrawler mused, barely heard over the door of the house they were at opening up. At the sight of the kind old lady, the children all announced:
"TRICK OR TREAT!"
It wasn't long before the Orphans realized they were elated to be going trick or treating; their pumpkin buckets already getting heavy with candy, apples and some small toys.
Emi had decided to 'let loose' and was in her true form, many recongizing her as Fatgum's niece and applauding Bridget's costume.
All in all, it was a great evening…until they saw some jeering and leering teenagers picking on a group of kids speaking English.
"Hey." Kanna announced, subtley shocking them with her Quirk. "Leave them alone."
Emi and Bridget readied for a fight, easily scaring the cowards off and earning thanks from the other kids:
One of the boys, a blonde named Terry, was dressed as James Bond. The other, a freckled red head named Connor, went as a cowboy. Amy was dressed as Nobara from Jujitsu Kaisen, and another girl, Sindey, looked like a rat girl.
Then there were the salt and pepper twins and the girl with long black hair dress as Darkwing Duck.
"I'm Momo." The Pepper twin smiled before pointing to her twin. "This is Mitsu and our cousin Erma."
Erma waved cutely
"We're her friends…." The rat girl explained before smirking. "….and her boyfriend Connor!"
Connor blushed and tensed at that, but calmed when Erma held his hand and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Daaaaw!" Pop-Step cooed. "So cute! Reminds me of Koichi and me."
"…We didn't mean until we were teens."
"Shut up, its cute!"
"Are you visiting?" Eri asked, getting nods.
As it turned out, Erma's father, Sam, was an author both Luz and Kaneki followed. One of his books was being made into a movie and he decided to treat his daughter and her friends to a trip to Japan…right around the same time that their extended family was making a journey to the city.
"Say, why don't you join us?" Emi suggested. "We're heading towards the town center…"
"Their parents are heading to the party soon." Anya said, having read their minds.
Erma smiled at the shocked faces of her friends and cousins and gave Anya a handshake.
CRC
The downtown party was in full swing: Jjack O'Lantern carvings, candy give-away trivia games, costume contests and even a few Universal Movies being showcased on a 16 milimeter reel and a tarp.
"You may take as many pictures as you wish, but my students are not doing interviews today." Ippan Josei explained to the press for the umpteenth time. "They fought hard to minimize the 97 district project and need to rest."
"And if any of you have a problem with that?" A wheelchaired and bandaged Lady Nagant growled with a smirk as she revealed her rifle, leveling it at the 'hounds.' "Understand?"
The press all nodded furiously and promised to behave.
"And I'll help!" Spinel, dressed as Pomni from the Digital Circus and wielding a hammer, smiled evilly..before backflipping to one of the games. "C'mon kids! Who wants to whack the Ragyo pinata?"
Many raced to the site; as the 'Ragyo' pinata was the size of a car. Spinel would bust over here for most of the night, but she didn't mind.
Class Sancutary was seated in a gazebo and enjoying some snacks and drinks when they spied their sibling group, Class 1-A, had all gone for a fantasy theme for their costumes this year.
Which suited one Sancutary student, dressed in a scarlt ninja suit well.
"So, Katsuki?" Himiko cooed, batting her eyes at him. "How do I look?"
"…There….IS…..a….God!" Was all the bombastic blonde could say as her marvelled at the sight of his girlfriend in a bloodied kunoichi outfit. Many giggled warmly at his reaction, only to bkush when he took the shapeshifter into his arms and…well, this is a PG rated story.
"Izuku."
The green haired boy turned to see an adorable and beautiful witch of rosey cheeks walking towards him, her eyes filled with adoration that matched the sparkling stars in her dress.
"Ochacko." The Firespitter retuned in kind, breaking away from his friends to embrace his girlfriend. As a more modern and 'creepified' rendition of 'Beauty and the Beast' began to play, the two began to dance happily. So happily, in fact, that it took a minute for Izuku to realise there was no ground
"Nui worked the Gravity Regalia into my costume and Hana fixed my….you know what." The Gravity girl explained with a smile. Izuku's smile grew even more as the two of them enjoyed each other's company.
And they wouldn't be alone: Uliqorra and 21 quickly took to the sky, as did Luz and Amity.
"Hello, Goddess." A normally exicitable voice smiled, and Melissa turned to see Mei Hatsume, dressed up as Brainaic, beckoning her for a dance. Melissa smiled and happily accepted, nuzzling her nose with the pink haired genius she loved.
Luz pulled Amity into a dance, as did Nazuna with Michiru. Kohta offered an arm for Mukuro as Katrina and soon the other couples followed suit.
"Guess who?" Someone asked as they covered Yuno's eyes. The recovering Yandere tensed and teared up as she turned to see her Yuki, dressed as Robin Hood and smiing warmly. They hugged and made their way to the dance floor.
"Hey, do you want to dance?" A pigtailed girl suddenjly asked Crona
"M-me?" Crona asked. "I-I don't know! I don't know how to dance and I don't know how to deal with disappointing people!"
Alas-Ramus reached for the girl, whose friends came forward and asked others in the class to a dance. Seeing the
"Go on, kiddos." Noi gently pushed the reluctant members of her class towards their prospective partners:
Crona danced with a kind girl named Maka, Sho with a volptous girl named Patti, Tang Yun with Patti's sister Liz, Nui with a boy named Kidd and Spinel, on her break, with a loud boy named Black-star while Axol with Black Star's friend Tsubaki.
Dorothy and Maine watched from afar, just content to be by each other just as Emi, Bridget, the Orphans, Pop Step, Skycrawler and the Yurimoto cousins and American visitors made their way to the party.
The kids hurried over to the games with Bridget while Emi observed the dancers, missing the enclave of Yokai enterting the party. Lukcily, someone else saw.
"HELLO, YUREIMOTOS AND FAMILY!" All Might, dressed as Superman, boisterously laughed before leaping away to answer a call. "ENJOY THE PARTY!"
The adults began to converse with civilians, minus Osamu and Anaya, who seethed in their hate for humans dressed as their kin and others. How dare…No, no. Wait just a bit longer….
BOOM!
An explosion rocked the party and all turned to see a small army of skull wearing thugs, wielding Scythes and sickles making their way inside.
"We are the Creature Rejection Clan! For too long we settled for individuals, but thanks to Sancutary blinding the masses, we can no longer stand and allow such a horrid 'celebration! Prepare to be punsished for your ignorance! FOR HUMANITY!" The leader of the skull faced villains roared as they raced onto the scene.
Despite the suddenness of the attack, everyone seemed more…annoyed than anything.
"Really? THESE scumbags? On Halloween?" Penny groaned in annoyance as her classmates had all leapt forward to face the threat on…as did Emiko and her siblings, all cracking their knuckles and otherwise 'warming up'.
"Can't let you kids have all the fun!" The mother of Erma smirked, looking over her shoulder to see Sam holding their daughter and smiling.
"JIRO! MAINE! HALLOWEEN BUTT-KICKING MUSIC!" Noi called out.
(AN: Play 'Die by my Knife' by the Merkins)
"It was either this or Ghostbusters!" Kyoka hurriedly explained.
"THANK YOU!" The Yurimotos hollered back as they leapt into the fray, Kentaro letting out a roar as Rin slithered and wrapped around CRC members before tossing them aside. Fumiko and Mayumi used magic while Emiko, Yori and Ena judo-flipped the ounks that came close to them.
Masato had summoned Susanoo's ribcage to defend the civilians and Rorimoyo and Fumikage had teamed up to deal with those who came close
"…Damned half-breeds." Anya noted at the two students, sensing several other students were descended from Yokai and none as powerful as her grandchildren, so not worth keeping alive….
"SKELATON MASKS ONLY!" Emiko snapped at her mother, actually making the ghost woman back off. Emiko was almost taken from surprise, but Himiko had changed into a Baslisk and bit down on the thug.
With all of the combatants, it was hard to keep track of it all, but the kids were all amazed by how strong these UA students were.
"FORGET THE MASSES! GET THE FIRESTARTER!" The leader managed before Testuo sent him flying.
The CRC members all converged onto Izuku, ready to kill the powerless boy….
They were nursing broken boys and lips by the time he was done.
"If 7 years in a lab staffed with people who hated me, the League of villains, COVERS and Ragyo fricking Kiryuin couldn't kill me, what the hell made you all think you could?!" Izuku snapped indigantly.,
His classmates and friends all cheered at that boast
"B-but your Quirk…!"
Izuku just smirked and knocked the speaker out, his classmaes, Ochacko and Katsuki standing by him.
Just then, something crushed in between the fighters.
"Hey babies and Emi." Mamaku noted.
"Ma." Emiko retorted with a slight bow before she got a good look at Izuku. "Wait…Is that Inko's…?"
"Indeed! Little Izuku himself."
Osamu paused as a memory filled his head
Many years ago
"I am in a bad state, so I'll give you this mercy. Stick to the forests and off beat roads. You and all your Yokai. I'll never bother you again." An immaculate but seething All for One said to a bloodied Osamu. "Now…Leave. And let me bury my brother."
He then picked up Yoroichi's body and took it to a creek they'd loved as children.
Present
If nothing else? This boy would die!
"Osmau, was it?" Mamako asked.
"What do you want, human wench?"
All Mamako did was wave a finger and say:
"BAD."
The tengu and ghost collapased to the ground, their faces frozen in shock and confusion
Emiko was cackling madly, snapping pictures and videos
"I HAVE BEEN WAITING 20 YEARS FOR THAT AND IT WAS WORTH IT!"
For some reason, Ulqiorra smirked at Osamu and his wife's punishment. Everyone joined in this as Endeavour and Best Jeanist collected the CRC members, grumbling they were missing a great party for these losers.
"YO! AIN'T WE SUPPOSED TO BE PATYING?!" Michiru called out. "Jiro! GET SOME MJ ON OR SOMETHING!"
CRC
Suffice to say, Class Sanctuary had new fans in the visitors, with Amity and Luz taking a break from dancing to tell stories of their adventures.
Midnight and Kentaro began to dance with each other, the normally flirtaous heroine calm and sweet with the Oni. Rin ended up in a dance battle with Michiru, Nazuna and Velvet…and actually smiled the whole time.
As it turned out, the whole visit had been arranged by Nedzu, mostly so that he could meet/invite Sidney's clan to live, learn and work at UA
Penny met another visitor from the states; a third year at San Francisco's Kirby's Hero of super heroics named Ben, with a 'Mental Materialization Quirk'
And as the Orphans caught the visitors up on Halloween exclusive Japanese snacks, Nedzu and Mamako watched the whole scene from afar.
It had been a rough start for their students and there was no doubt there was more to come…But for now? It was time to have fun and be happy again.
"HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM SANCUTARY AND THE YUREIMOTOS!"
THE END
A Halloween gift for my dear friend, co-writer and editor Knightmare Lord, crossing over our most successful co-project with his favorite web-comic, Erma. He'd requested another piece which I aim to finish soon, but it's taking longer than I thought. So, here is another story to celebrate Halloween!
This oneshot is indeed canon to the Class Sanctuary verse, taking place a little bit after what KL and I call 'the Tour Arc', so a little after the I-island arc.
Characters from Soul Eater were used for the calmer members of Sancutary's dance partners; inspired by XFangHeartX's Soul Eater/One piece crossover stories.
Happy Halloween!
