Chapter 2: What Makes a Puppet
Izuku Midoriya was not having a good day. It started off well enough. He saw a villain fight on the way to school. Which included the debut of a brand new hero! Granted it was somewhat ruined by a bunch creeps taking pictures of the Money Shot… But it was a good start for the day.
Sadly the rest of the day wasn't the same.
Homeroom, the teacher talked about their goals on entering high school. But he had to bring up the fact that Izuku wanted to go to UA. The best hero school in the country.
But everyone in class mocked him for it, especially his former childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo.
He wanted nothing to than to be a hero, to save everyone he could, and reassure them with a smile on his face, just like his Idol All Might.
The problem was that he was Quirkless. While most of the world had super powers, he didn't.
It got worse after class when Bakugo took his hero analysis notebook, blew up it up with his quirk, tossed it out the window then told Izuku if he wanted a quirk he should jump off the school's roof.
Needless to say Izuku wasn't in a good mood.
And he didn't know just how much the day would get worse.
As he walked under a bridge, a nearby manhole cover began to move, and then suddenly Izuku was engulfed by sludge.
It was villain who's entire body was made of sludge!
"A medium sized meat suit I could wear." Said the villain as he covered Izuku's nose and mouth.
He couldn't breathe.
He was being suffocated.
"No… please don't…" thought Izuku.
"I didn't know he was in town." Said the sludge villain, I have to hide out in your body. And you're just the perfect person… Just a minute and then you won't feel anything anymore. You're a real hero kid."
"Please.,.. someone save me." Thought Izuku as he began to black out.
That was when suddenly the manhole cover popped open.
"Never fear!" spoke a rather bombastic voice as a large figure popped out of the manhole, "For I am here!"
That was when the figure shouted "Texas Smash!"
The villain was torn to shreds by sudden wind coming from the figure.
Izuku looked at the figure.
Then everything turned black and white. As he remained in the air confused as everything seemed frozen.
"What…" said Izuku looked around.
"Geeze kid relax you passed out!" said a voice.
Izuku turned and saw Bill Cipher.
Of course he had no idea the danger the triangle held.
"Oh… uh…" said Izuku.
Suddenly he fell the ground.
"Don't worry you're fine Freckles." Said Bill, "You just got knocked out."
"Oh." Said Izuku.
Bill flew to Izuku.
"The name's Bill Cipher." Said Bill, "And I've been watching you for a long time Freckles."
"What?" asked Izuku.
"It's true…" said Bill, "I've had an eye on you. You're quite the person."
"What do you mean?" asked Izuku.
"You have the drive that I haven't seen in anyone in years." Said Bill, "Especially with that little disability you have."
Izuku looked down.
"I can make you well known." Said Bill.
"What?" asked Izuku confused.
"I just said I can make it so that everyone knows your face." Said Bill.
"What? How?" asked Izuku.
"I have my ways." Said Bill.
Bill turned away from him.
Had it been any other day… maybe Izuku would have bene suspicious.
But today… today after hearing such things... after getting attacked by a villain…
"You can really make me into a hero." Said Izuku.
"I'll make so that everyone will know you." Said Bill still with his back to him.
"Don't listen to him!"
Izuku looked around, he could have sworn he heard a faint voice yell out.
Bill's eye narrowed.
"But I will need something in return." Said Bill.
"Oh… I guess that's okay." Said Izuku, "What is it?"
"I want a puppet." Said Bill.
"A puppet." Said Izuku.
"Everyone loves puppets." Said Bill.
"So if I give you a puppet then you'll…" said Izuku.
"Of course." Said Bill.
He held out his hand which was suddenly covered in a blue fire.
"He's trying to trick you!"
The voice yelled again.
However Izuku was lost in his own thoughts.
"If I give I him a puppet, I can become a hero…" thought Izuku.
Izuku looked at the strange triangle and took his hand and the two shook.
"So… um… how do I give you that puppet?" asked Izuku, "You mentioned something about me being passed out."
"Oh I already found one." Said Bill.
"What?" asked Izuku.
That suddenly Bill pulled him in a strange way.
As he was pulled away color returned.
"What just happened." Said Izuku.
HE looked up and he saw All Might the number 1 hero in Japan… the symbol of peace, his idol… slapping the face of someone trying to get them to wake up.
Then he saw the person he was trying to get to wake up.
It was himself.
He looked down at his body, he was lightly glowing and very pale though his legs seemed to lose color.
And he was floating.
"What's going on! What happened to me!" yelled Izuku, "Why am I over there."
That was when his body woke up.
He saw his body's eyes were now completely gold with slits for pupils and he gave a creepy smile.
IT was Bill controlling Izuku's body.
"Good thing you woke up, I thought I lost you." Said All Might.
"Yep completely fine! Thanks hero!" laughed Bill in Izuku's body… or rather Bizuku.
All Might looked at Bizuku. He a bad feeling about the kid he just rescued. He could feel something off.
Unfortunately he could feel a certain tingle in his chest, he had to leave and soon.
"Don't worry about the villain!" said All Might holding up two empty soda bottle, showing the sludge villain unconscious and stuffed into them.
HE placed the bottles in his pocket and began to do leg stretches.
Izuku was just watching in shock then he realized he should be getting All Might's attention.
"Wait! All Might! Please! That's not me!" yelled Izuku.
"Wait hero!" said Bizuku.
"If you want an autograph! I already gave you one." Said All Might.
"No it's not that!" said Bizuku, "I just wanted to tell you to make sure those bottles are secure. We wouldn't want them falling out of your pockets!"
All Might looked at him again. He had a bad feeling about the kid… one he couldn't shake off.
But he was extremely close to his limit.
"You're right!" said All Might realizing that he was right though.
He fiddled with the bottle to make sure that he wouldn't fall out of his pockets.
"All Might! Please! Look at me!" yelled Izuku managing to fly to in front of the hero.
But it was clear All Might couldn't see him.
In face once the bottles were secure he the legendary hero jumped through the air, and right through Izuku as if he was ghost.
"What's going on!" thought Izuku.
"Oh man! This is so rich!" laughed Bizuku, "Sorry freckles! But you're stuck in the mindscape. I guess you could say you were reduced to a soul or a ghost! No one but me can see or hear you!"
"Why did you do this?" asked Izuku, "I thought you said you would make me into a hero."
"I didn't say anything like that! You only heard what you wanted to hear!" said Bizuku.
Izuku froze as he went through what Bill said to him…
It was true, he never said anything about making him into a hero.
"As for the puppet! Isn't that one of the meanings of the word "Deku"?" asked Bizuku .
"No…" whimpered Izuku.
Bizuku picked up the nearby notebook which held All Might Autograph.
"You know what! I'm in a good mood!" said Bizuku, "I won't destroy the autograph he gave you!"
"Wait!" cried Izuku.
Bizuku ran towards Izuku's apartment with Izuku awkwardly flying behind him.
However on the other side of the tunnel was Dipper.
He gritted his teeth and slammed his fist through the wall, as he wasn't corporal it went through the wall.
A power he and his family discovered through the years was a form of telepathy.
He took a breath and activated it.
"Bill' finally got him" he thought sending the message to his family.
"WHAT NO!" screamed Mabel.
"You're kidding!" yelled Stan.
"What happened?" asked Ford.
"I couldn't enter his dream!" explained Dipper.
"I knew we should tried to enter people's dreams!" said Mabel.
"And all of us are in the US right now." Sighed Ford, "Keep the usual watch on him but it's not a good time to see if he can see you. So make sure you're always out of site. The rest of us will be here tomorrow."
"All right! Let's go to the closest airports and catch planes to Japan!" yelled Mabel.
Dipper sighed followed Izuku and Bizuku.
With Bizuku he got to the Midoriya apartment and took a breath and began to act like a sullen teenager when he entered.
"Oh hello Izuku… how was school today?" asked his mother Inko.
"I don't want to talk to about it." Said Bizuku.
"Oh well… I'll have dinner ready." Said Inko.
That was when Izuku came through the wall and freaked out as he did.
"I'm not hungry." Said Bizuku going into Izuku's room.
"Oh… Izuku…" said Inko looking like it she was about to cry.
"Mom! That wasn't me!" cried Izuku.
He tried to reassure her but he just went through her.
He then flew through the walls into his room.
"Well having fun Freckles?" asked Bizuku.
"Why did you take my body?" asked Izuku.
"I need a meat sack." Said Bizuku.
Izuku stared at the at his possessed body in horror.
"Hey! I know you're thinking about that idiot that tried to take you over earlier but 'm better than him. When I finally reach my goal! I'll give your body back!" said Bizuku, "It's better than being dead! Not to mention you're alive!"
"What are you going to do?" asked Izuku.
"I'm planning to have some fun first." Said Bizuku, "Let's see how long it takes for someone to figure out I'm not you! I'm not counting your mom! Hopefully the depressed act will fool her for long."
Izuku shook and began to cry.
"Sorry kid! But I couldn't pass up an opportunity like this!" said Bizuku.
He began to do Izuku's homework.
"Wait you're doing my homework!" yelled Izuku confused.
"You should be grateful! I know everything!" said Bizuku, "Besides it's part of the whole let's see how long until someone notices!"
Bizuku did Izuku's homework and later went to sleep.
"Wow… it's going to be weird going to sleep for once! But last time I took over someone part of the reason why I was foiled was because of lack of sleep! I have to make sure you're well rested this week." Bragged Bizuku.
Izuku couldn't sleep… he guessed it wasn't something he need like this.
But he watched as his body slept.
The next day, Bizuku continued to act like a depressed sullen teenager to Inko.
"Have fun… at school." Said Inko.
Bizuku only grunted.
Izuku looked at his mother then followed his possessed body on his way to school.
" I told you freckles! I'm the only one who can see you!" said Bizuku.
"I don't care!" said Izuku as he struggled to fly behind Bizuku.
"The only way is if you have a vessel! But I doubt you'll be able to find one!" said Bizuku, "Let's see you chaise after me!"
Bizuku decided to run much faster.
But due to his speed Izuku wasn't able to catch up. He took a break in front of an alley way.
"Hey kid! What he said was right! But you don't need a living vessel!" called out a voice.
"Wait… is he talking to me…" said Izuku.
That was when he saw in the corner of his eye a glowing girl kick over a trash can. He looked over to where the trashcan fell but the glowing girl was gone.
However he saw an old mint green bunny puppet in the trash.
He looked at the puppet.
"Will this even work?" he thought.
Not too longer later at Aldera Jr. High, Bizuku stumbled into class.
He wasn't going to raise flag to Inko.
But he was going to have fun raising those flags to Izuku's classmates.
After all they either hated him or didn't care. It would just be way too much fun to see their bewildered faces.
"Wow… the run to school was crazy!" said Bizuku not even bothering to act like Izuku.
All of Izuku's classmates just stared at him.
Bizuku got to Izuku's seat and sat down.
He put Izuku's things away in the desk, when he had a fun idea.
He accidently slammed the desk closed on Izuku's hand.
Everyone in class stared at him.
"Oh no… what an accident!" laughed Bizuku.
Nearby Katsuki Bakugo looked at Bizuku.
"What are you doing you nerd?" asked Bakugo.
"Just getting ready for school Kacchan!" laughed Bizuku.
Bakugo looked at Bizuku… the two had known each other since they were children, so it was clear he knew something was off.
Bakugo turned away from Bizuku and stared at the front of the class while gritting his teeth.
The classes when normal… well mostly normal. The thing about Izuku was that whenever he'd get lost in thought it would go on a mutter storm.
The fact it didn't happen once during classes was somewhat concerning, but most of the class didn't really care.
When lunch rolled around, Bakugo gritted his teeth.
"Well time for lunch!" said Bizuku.
That was when Bakugo grabbed Bizuku by the collar and dragged him out of the classroom.
"Geeze… what his problem?" asked one of their classmates.
"Probably the whole thing about UA." Said another.
"Like Midoriya can get in." muttered a third.
Bakugo found a place where the two could "Talk" properly.
"Okay! Tell me who the fuck are you and what did do you do to the nerd!" he demanded.
"What?" asked Bizuku.
"You think I'm an idiot! I know you're an imposter!" yelled Bakugo, "Your eyes are a dead giveaway! And you're not even trying to act like Deku!"
Bizuku began to laugh, "Oh man! I wasn't expecting someone to care enough to call me out on the first day! Especially not you Captain Boom Boom!"
"Who are you!" he demanded.
"The names Bill Cipher! I'm not a shape shifter if you're wondering. This is his body. Ripped him out of his body, he's somewhere trying to find someone who could see him! I made him think I could make him a hero! He was so desperate after everything that happened yesterday, now he's floating around somewhere!" Bizuku explained.
Bakugo stared in horror at the possessed body of his usual victim.
"You know, Kid! I like you! I was planning on running off once someone called me out or I got bored." Said Bizuku, "But seeing it was you, you want to team up?"
"What?" asked Bakugo.
"Come on! It will be great! You can run interference for me while I make my plans! Playing around with Freckles' mother telling her things about why I'm not acting like "myself". And once my plans finally come to fruition you can have anything you want!" said Bizuku.
Bakugo, who's quirk allowed him to set off explosions from his hand let loose a very large one.
"You think I'd work with a villain?" asked Bakugo, "I'm trying to be a hero!"
Bizuku began to laugh, "That's a good one!"
Bakugo glared at the possessed teenager.
"Wait… you're actually serious!" said Bizuku honestly surprised.
"What does that mean!" yelled Bakugo.
"Come on! You seriously think you can be a hero after everything you've done." Said Bizuku.
"What do you everything I've done!" demanded Bakugo.
"You want to be better than All Might… right?" asked Bizuku.
Bakugo glared at the possessed teen.
"You think All Might goes around and tells people to kill themselves?" asked Bizuku.
Bakugo froze when he said that.
"Face it kid, you're a villain! Just embrace it already!" said Bizuku.
Bakugo grabbed Bizuku ready to wail on the possessed teen.
"Kacchan! Wait!" yelled Izuku's voice.
The turned and saw a floating mint green rabbit puppet.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" yelled Bakugo.
"Wait… can you hear me?" asked Izuku's voice coming from the robot, "I haven't figured it out completely yet…"
Bakugo's eye twitched… sure he lived in a world with super powers, but this was just weird.
However Bizuku on the other hand was beyond angry.
"PINE TREE!" he yelled out then suddenly spoke English, "(I know you're here! I heard you call out when I made a deal!)"
That was when suddenly Dipper appeared, coming through the wall.
"Bill." Said Dipper.
Izuku and Bakugo both stared at the glowing teenager that appeared.
"(So you taught him the puppet trick!)" said Bizuku.
"(Actually it wasn't me…)" said Dipper.
Stan suddenly appeared.
"(You could have kept a better eye on him.)" said Stan with a smirk.
Followed closely by Mabel.
"(We just got lucky that someone threw away a puppet there)" laughed Mabel.
That was when Ford appeared.
"(It's over Bill!)" said Ford, "(We can do this the easy way or the hard way!)"
Bizuku gritted his teeth, as it was clear that the four would use violence to get him out of the body. With Stan putting on his knuckle dusters, Mabel getting her grappling hook ready and Ford getting some guns ready.
"This might look bad!" said Stan in Japanese to Izuku, "But it's the only way to get your body back kid."
Izuku saw that that Stan was looking directly into his eyes when he said that, while it he was controlling the puppet, it was more like his ghost was putting on a puppet show, with one of his hands inside the puppet.
"Can he see me?" thought Izuku.
Bizuku on the other hand was nervous. He knew 3 or 4 minutes was enough for the body to reject him.
However he noticed something.
"You know bomber man, this was really bad place to drag me to!" laughed Bizuku.
"What?" asked Bakugo.
That was when Bizuku pulled a fire alarm that was near him.
While most of the school was in the cafeteria there were still people in their classrooms, either because they weren't ready to eat or decided to eat in the classrooms.
Students were already running out of their classrooms in a panic thinking it was real.
Bizuku used this opportunity to flee.
"(Damn it!)" yelled Stan.
Izuku decided to try to follow his body.
However Katsuki grabbed the puppet on his hand. Preventing Izuku from following.
"You're explaining everything Deku!" yelled Katsuki.
"What!" yelled Izuku.
"Some villain hijacked your body and you were turned into a fucking puppet!" yelled Katsuki, "I'm pretty sure you need to explain it."
"Oh… yeah…" said Izuku.
However due to the police officers showed up thanks to well.. the fire alarm being pulled.
Bakugo listened into Izuku's explanation to the police officer. About how he was knocked out during a villain attack (a completely different villain he had to clarify). And Bill tricked him.
"Don't worry Midoriya." Said police officer, "There was laws protecting victims of possession quirks. Since it required you from being ripped from your body there's plenty of evidence that it's not you, don't worry you'll be declared innocent for whatever crime he commits in your body."
Izuku didn't respond… he relieved but still.
"Unfortunately I never heard of a villain called Bill Cipher…" said the police officer, "But we will be contacting various heroes to see if they ever have."
"Okay…" said Izuku.
However having his body stolen was something that they needed to call his mother about.
"Izuku…" called out Inko as she arrived.
"Hey mom…" said Izuku nervously.
He cried out when she fainted for seeing the talking, floating puppet speaking with her son's voice.
Bakugo who was nearby scowled.
Just in the whole situation in general. He couldn't help but to think about what Bizuku had said.
""You think All Might goes around and tells people to kill themselves?"
"Why should I even care to what a villain has to say." He thought to himself.
Hours later… Izuku and Inko returned to their apartment, neither one knowing what to say.
"Do you want something to eat?" asked Inko deciding to finally say something.
"I'm not hungry." Said Izuku then realized he had to clear it up, "I don't mean that it's because of everything… I'm not hungry because I don't really have a stomach right now and well…"
"It's okay…" said Inko, "They'll find your body."
Izuku sighed.
They both entered the living room.
That was when both of them got a shock.
The four Pines were waiting for them.
"Who are you! And what are you doing in our house!" yelled Inko.
"Don't worry! We're not here to steal anything!" said Stan, "We're here to help you."
"They're the four that confronted Cipher." Explained Izuku.
"Wait… you are…" said Inko.
"Greetings." Said Ford, "I am Ford Pines, this is my brother Stan, and our great niece and nephew Mabel and Dipper."
Stan nodded at the two, Mabel gave a cheerful wave and Dipper looked nervous.
"You know about Bill don't you?" asked Izuku.
"He's our enemy." Said Ford, "And has been for years…"
"We're sorry you had to get dragged into this." Said Dipper.
"It's fine… I was the one that that got tricked…" said Izuku.
"Don't blame yourself." Said Ford.
"We know exactly what you're going through." Said Dipper.
"Wait…" said Izuku.
"You're not the first person to get tricked that way." Said Ford, "He has a way with words and knows exactly what someone needs to hear to get what he wants…"
"So you…" said Izuku.
"Been possessed by him…" said Ford.
"He did the exact same thing to me when I was 12." Said Dipper, "Thankfully Mabel was putting on a puppet show so that how we learned the trick."
"Oh…" said Izuku.
It was clear that the two families weren't sure what to say.
"I guess you used your quirks to get in here." Said Izuku figuring.
Both Mabel and Stan laughed.
"Really?" asked Ford.
"I don't get it what's so funny?" asked Izuku.
"Listen kid… all four of us are Quirkless… in fact we were born long before quirks first appeared." Said Stan.
"Wait… then how…" said Izuku.
"Easy we're dead…" said Stan.
"WHAT!" yelled Izuku.
Inko looked ready to pass out again.
"Don't pass out again!" cried Izuku.
Meanwhile at UA High… the best hero school in the country, the principal, a rare animal with a quirk (though what type of animal he was unknown, he could have been a mouse, a dog or a bear, but it didn't really matter) was looking over some papers.
That was when he got a call.
"Hello?" he answer.
"Principal Nezu, we have a case. A villain has recently stole the body of a teenaged boy." Said the person on the other end.
"Oh dear." Said Nezu.
"The possessed body hasn't been found. However the boy's soul has been separated, but thankfully he can communicate through the use of puppets. He was able to tell us everything he could. However the villains name isn't on any record we were hoping that you or any of your staff have heard of him. He goes by Bill Cipher."
Princess Nezu froze upon hearing the name.
"Did you say Bill Cipher?" asked Nezu.
"Yes… so you have heard of him." Said the person on the end.
"Unfortunately." Said Nezu, "Would it be all right if I handle it from here."
"Of course!" said the person on the other end.
"Thank you." Said Nezu.
After ending the call he hung up and sighed.
"I really had hoped that I would have to do this… but when the world's at stake." He sighed.
He began to make plan s for a meeting for his staff, including All Might even though he wouldn't start until next year.
After all he was one of the few heroes who knew what Bill Cipher was… and his plans…
Back at the Midoriya residence, Inko managed to not pass out…
Of course the Pines has to explain themselves, telling the two about how they performed a ritual to separate pieces of their spirts to one day act as guides to whoever would fight Bill.
"So you can see and hear me without the puppet." Said Izuku.
"We'll have to check if you see and hear us when we're supposed to be invisible." Said Ford.
"Wait… what?" asked Izuku.
"It's probably a good idea to check once your ma's calmed down." Said Stan.
"Okay." Said Inko.
"Wait… there's something I can check right now!" said Mabel.
That was when she flew over to Izuku. She grabbed him and hugged him tightly.
"What are you doing!" cried Izuku.
"We can touch him." Said Mabel as she still hugged, "Also you really needed a hug! So I gave you one!"
Izuku turned bright red. He did like the fact someone as able to hug him… granted it was a pretty cute girl hugging him. And he didn't know how to react to that.
"Oh you're so cute!" she giggled poking his cheek.
"Mabel maybe you should get off him." Said Dipper then said in English, "(You're giving him the wrong idea)".
"Fine…" pouted Mabel letting go of the poor boy.
They let him calm down a little before counting.
"So how do we beat Bill?" asked Izuku.
"There's two ways. The first one is the short term plan. Get him out of your body." Said Stan.
"Unfortunately one of the ways is to get him out of your body is to hurt and exhaust him so badly that the body rejects him." Said Ford.
"Trust me it sucks." Said Dipper.
"That's actually how I got Bill out of Dipper's body when it happened to him." Said Mabel, "Though a hug part of it was the fact he was really sleep deprived."
Inko looked down…
"What happens if his body dies somehow?" asked Inko.
"Let's try to avoid that." Said Ford, "The good news is that nothing will happen to Izuku as in the way he is now will be unaffected… the bad news is that… well he will be the way that he is for all eternity… never being able to move on… only being able to interact with people with the use of puppets… you won't lose him… but he will eventually lose you… and everyone else he ever gets close to…"
This shook Izuku.
"That should be the absolute last resort…" said Stan, "I wouldn't wish that on anyone…"
"Wait… what about you?" asked Izuku.
"Once our job is done… we'll pass on." Said Ford.
"Our mission would be complete. So it's fine." Said Mabel.
"Wait… what about long term." Said Izuku.
"There's an another ancient ritual." Said Ford, "It requires 10 people. 3 of them chosen by us, 6 of them chosen by fate and the last chosen by a combination of the two. Each one of them is represented by a symbol…"
"Wait how can it be a combination of fate and you?" asked Inko.
Ford held up his hand.
"Well my symbol is a six finger hand… so we would need someone who either has polydactyl or can replicate it with their quirks." Said Ford.
"Why can't you do it?" asked Izuku.
"The ritual involves those 10 people holding hands in a circle." Said Mabel.
"And unfortunately we can only be corporeal for a few minutes a day." Said Dipper.
"And we unlike you we don't have any cool possession powers." Said Mabel.
"So in other words if we're there and we have all 10 of them but we used up the time. We'd miss our chance." Said Stan.
"So I guess I have to have you find the 10 people." Said Izuku.
"Not exactly." Said Mabel.
Dipper placed his hand on the Pine Tree symbol, on his hat. The pine tree began to glow and a ghostly copy of the shape floated over to Izuku.
The hit Izuku for a moment glow the same light blue as Dipper before switching to green before disappearing.
"Wait you chose me?" asked Izuku, "But I just got my body stolen and I don't have a quirk how can I help!"
Stan looked at Inko and gave her a certain look.
Inko understood what the look meant and nodded in a way that conveyed "Yes, but not hard".
Stan got up, walked over to Izuku and slapped him on his head.
"Hey!" yelled Izuku.
"Didn't you forget what we told you? We predate quirks!" said Stan.
"2015 represent!" yelled Mabel.
"What?" asked Izuku.
"That was the year we did the ritual." Said Dipper.
"That predated the first quirk by more than a decade." Said Izuku.
"We don't care about Quirks." Said Mabel, "Well we do… but not in the way that we feel you need them."
"You got that heart and that all that matters." Said Stan.
Izuku smiled at the family of sprits.
"Wait…" said Inko realizing something. "If he predates quirks… then is he?"
"The best term we can use is ancient evil." Said Ford, "He's older than the galaxy…"
"Why did he take Izuku's body?" asked Inko.
"He's physically trapped in another reality called the Nightmare Realm. The only way he can interact with our world is if he takes a host body and uses it. However if one were to breach the denial walls and open a portal to the Nightmare Realm then Bill can enter our world and gain a true psyche form… and if that happens… it would be the end of everything… the world… the galaxy… the universe… all of reality." Said Ford.
Both Izuku and Inko paled when they were told this.
"But why Izuku?" asked Inko.
"Many reasons… he was vulnerable, he was an easy target and many other reasons." Said Ford.
Dipper seemed to grit his teeth when Ford was saying this.
"I see…" said Izuku.
"Sorry for dragging you into this." Said Dipper.
"It's fine… really." Said Izuku trying to brush it off, "Uh… well…"
"Hey it's okay you need time to process this." Said Ford, "I can't blame you."
"It's okay." Said Inko.
Izuku nodded and deiced to take off the puppet so he could have alone time and well go to bed room and process everything.
"Oh would you like something to eat?" asked Inko.
"We're dead…" said Stan.
"Oh… right…" said Inko.
Inko decided to make dinner for herself. Hoping to herself she wouldn't fall back to her old overeating habits.
As she was cooking Stan looked at Dipper.
"(You know… you have to tell him eventually…)" said Stan in English.
"(Yeah… I know…)" sighed Dipper.
Izuku laid above his bed… he eyed the All Might posters that were all around his room.
"I wonder if I'll be able to be a hero like this…" thought Izuku.
Meanwhile in a bar somewhere, a bar tender who seemed to be made of black and purple clouds was cleaning the bar.
That was the door opened and it was Bizuku.
"A child…" said the bartender surprised at Bizuku.
Then he got a feeling from the possessed boy… like he wasn't looking at a young boy, but something else in the shape of a boy.
"I'm looking for your master." Said Bizuku, "I think he can help me with my plans… and I can offer my services for his!"
The bartender narrowed his glowing yellow eyes at the possessed boy. But he got the feeling that Bizuku would be someone that his "Master" would want to meet.
And with that everything was just beginning…
After all only one of the Zodiac has been chosen… and there were still 9 more to go…
And hopefully this time they would get all of them… and finally beat the triangle once and for all.
Next Time: Izuku, Inko and the Pines go to UA when the Principal calls them up... how does he know about Bill and how will his staff react. Meanwhile Bill deicides to start tormenting Bakugo in his dreams... how does he do it through? Find out next time!
