Author's note: Sorry about the delay! I've been playing Star Wars: The Old Republic for a month! But have no worry, I have no intention of subscribing anytime. Because I have no intention of playing it for eternity or paying extra for playing a game while I can do something else more important with the money. Plus,
the whole Oricon mission got me stressed so much that I definitely do wanted to go anywhere near that planet again! So even if I decided to play the game again, there is no heck way I will go anywhere near that planet, let alone do missions there. But that wasn't the only thing, I've been reintroduced to Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss by pure chance, my aunt also needed to get the surgery in order to be able to walk properly once again and lastly, my mental healt to keep up with the thought of posting a chapter weekly or as soon as possible drained me mentally back then.

Back to Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss a bit, I wanted to ask this. Should I write a spinoff of this story featuring Ghost Rider and the denizens of Hell from such series? By making it the spinoff, that means this story about Ghost Rider will be existing within the same universe as the story of New Age of Ignorance as well. In fact, I even planned to bring the elements from Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! into the story too in order to make it feels a bit more MHA in a sense.

Also, there is one question I needed to ask out loud. Should I bring the characters from Love After World Domination into this story? Why am I asking this? Well, the first reason is because I am sort of frustrated at the fact that FanFiction does not have Love After World Domination for to read and write.

And the second reason is because I wanted Daigo, aka Green Gelato, to be related to the Todoroki family as Endeavor's biological nephew and paternal cousin of Dabi, Fuyumi, Natsuo and Shoto. As for how will I have them integrated into my story, I decided to have the Gelato 5 being a team of pro-heroes who retired early because of their own personal interests such as Daigo and Misaki wanted to settle down together, Fudo and Hayato wanted to pursue certain girls they loved and Haru wanted to become a mangaka while the Gekko remained active as a vigilantes' organization with the goal of protecting and improving the conditions of the heteromorphs and the quirkless people. I know that in Love After World Domination, the Gekko was a villains' organization until the relationship between Desumi and Fudo are exposed to the public at the end of the series. But considering how the society in MHA functioned in Japan, the Gekko will still be wanted by the authorities for vigilantism despite not being actual villains. Plus, Fudo and Hayato did not really retire. They just decided to become vigilantes to pursue the girls they loved. Obviously, there will be backlashes against them by both the public and the Hero Comission. But it is their only way. And after reading their profiles, I found that Haru only joined the team because of Fudo while Misaki was personally recruited by Daigo. As for Hayato, I can easily deduced that he most likely joined because he wanted to be more popular in order to get more cute girls to flirt with. So I can see why it is so easy for some of them to retire from being pro-heroes early and the only reason why Fudo and Daigo were willing to go along with early retirement was because they've found their right women.

And should I make Geten as Blizzard's son due to the recent revelation that he is actually part of the Himura family? I used to toy with this idea for a while back when I was introducing Blizzard into this story but never taken it seriously. But now that such confirmation is confirmed in MHA, should I expand this out a little by giving Blizzard a child of his own? And should Seol Hee, aka Luna Snow, be a distant relative whose Japanese ancestor immigrated to South Korea?

Chapter 16 Innocents of Svartalfheim


(Music: Demon Slayer Opening 1 - Gurenge)

Tsuyoku nareru riyuu wo shitta

Boku wo tsurete susume

In the darkness, Izuku Midoriya is on his knees crying after being rejected by his idol, All Might, after he told him that he cannot become a hero without a quirk and using an armor similar to Iron Man is not an option or even being encouraged.
Suddenly, Tomura Shigaraki appears before the crying green-haired boy. The Leader of the League of Villains then offers him a hand to help him stand up. And slowly but surely, Izuku raises his right hand up and take it.

Dorodarake no soumatou ni you

Kowobaru kokoro furueru te wa

Tsukamitai mono ga aru

Sore dake sa

The scene then switches to the group of pro-heroes consisted of All Might, Endeavor, Eraserhead, Present Mic, Midnight, Mount Lady, Kamui Woods, Edgeshot, Death Arms and Best Jeanist are standing proudly before the crowd of the cheering people and the reporters are taking pictures of them. The screen then zoomed out and reveal the darkness above them. In the darkness above the heroes, the mysterious red strings are secretly binded them to the hands of a group of the shadowy figures with glowing red T-shape on their masked helmets, indicating that they're benefactors of the heroes and the de facto rulers of the society.

Yoru no nioi ni (I'll spend all thirty nights)
Sora nirandemo (Staring into the sky)
Kawatte ikeru no wa jibun jishin dake Sore dake sa

The scene then changed to Tomura is putting on his father's hand on his face, Kurogiri emerged from the portal he created, Li Lanying is floating in the air by standing on her flying sword, Mr. Compress is putting on one of his masks, Twice is acting all crazy because he doesn't have his mask on until Himiko puts it on him, Lady Nagant turned her right arm into a rifle, Spinner is putting his sword into the sheath on his back, Magne's adjusting her glasses, Mustard emerged from the purple gas that he released, Blizzard and Dabi are walking out together from an alley and Black Knight is riding on Aragorn's back as the winged steed is flying high into the sky until only their silhouettes can be seen when the Sun is shown above them.

Tsuyoku nareru riyuu wo shitta

Boku wo tsurete susume

The scene changes to total darkness again. Then, it is slowly changed to become bloody red when the enemies of the League of Villains who are neither pro-heores or heroes-in-training but the other villains such as the cultivators who betrayed Lin Lanying from the Ten Rings Sect like as Elder Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar, the Hooded Ghost Slave, the cultivators in black clothing, and the ninjas of the Hand named Kirigi and Kuroyama with an army of zombies in ninja outfits known as the Fists armed with the variety of weapons, ranging from katana to yari, standing behind them.

Dou shitatte!

Suddenly, the scene is changed to Izuku Midoriya as Black Knight is standing alongside with Tomura Shigaraki, Li Lanying, Kurogiri, Blizzard, Dabi, Himiko Toga, Twice, Magne, Mustard, Mr. Compress, Lady Nagant and Spinner on the top of the building in the middle of the night with the wind blowing pass them.

Kesenai yume mo tomerenai ima mo

Dareka no tame ni tsuyoko nareru nara

Nando demo tachiagare

Then, the scene changes to them rush out to confront an army of the Fists, who are firing arrows at them nonstop. Magne uses her giant magnet to hit one of the zombies in the head, crushing it while Mr. Compress uses his quirk to turn another one into a marble. Blizzard and Dabi stand side by side and the former generates a snowstorm that freeze all zombie ninjas in his way while the latter unleashes a swirl of blue fire that instantly burned them all to dead. Mustard simply fires a shot from his revolver into the head of one of the Fists before him while Lady Nagant fires her shot right through the heads of all remaining three zombie ninjas before her and Mustard with a single bullet. Spinner runs around the battlefield and use his sword to behead all zombie ninjas in his way while Twice creates two clones of himself and they create more and more of their own clones to assist the League in the battle against the zombie ninjas. Li Lanying is using her sword to slash at all Fists in her way while nearby, Kurogiri uses his quirk to form a portal to transport all arrows that are heading toward to him back to the Fists that were firing at him while Tomura Shigaraki disintegrates two Fists before him into dusts by touching their heads. Above the battlefield, Izuku Midoriya, in his identity as Black Knight, is riding his winged horse, Aragorn, towards the Giant Fist with Himiko Toga, who is armed with the knives in her hands, sitting behind him on his steed's back. As they're flying toward the Giant Fist, the giant zombie ninja unleashes a mighty and ferocious roar towards them as he's raising the katana in his hands to fight them. In the pocket dimension within the Ebony Blade, Izuku opened his eyes and turn his head to his right to look at the countless of spirits of his ancestors who had wielded the Ebony Blade and became the Black Knight before him. Suddenly, all of his ancestors disappeared and Izuku found himself alone before a giant cage with scary red eyes of Dragon of the Moon glaring down at him.

Sekai ni uchinomesareta makeru imi wo shitta

Guren nohana yo sakihokore

Unmei wo terashite

Izuku, in his Black Knight's identity, is fighting his former friend, Katsuki Bakugo, with the Ebony Blade. Katsuki fires a number of explosions to him but he always dodged successfully in time. Then, Katsuki unleashed a massive explosion to blast Izuku away. However, Izuku stands firm and use the Ebony Blade to block his former friend's attack by pushing the incoming blast with all he has in him. After that, an explosion happened and Black Knight is walking out of the black smoke alone with the Ebony Blade in his right hand.

(Music End)


At the capital of Zahakara, the massive droids army deployed by the A.I.M is still besieging the city. But so far, both sides are still locked in a stalemate because of the bolt cannons on the ramparts keep the invading army from breaching the walls.

As the A.I.M's droid army is still besieging the city, the commanders of the invading army gathered at the command center within the stronghold they established not far from the city of Zahakara for an emergency meeting summoned by a Living Brain known as Cetus after he received the direct contact from the Scientist Supreme. Among the commanders of besieging army are Malekith the Accursed, the Dark Elf with long white hair whose face is sort of split between the normal dark blue skin and the pale skin that is as white as snow in grey armor and black robe, a large male Dark Elf in grey armor who stands at seven feet tall named Algrim the Strong, and two male Dark Elf twins with long black hair wearing white eyeless masks and grey armors with swords in scabbards hanging on their backs named Sourfoot and Scumtongue.

"All commanders are here as you have requested, sir."Said Cetus, the Living Brain with yellow painting on his chest and shoulders, to the holographic projection of the Scientist Supreme.

"Good."Said Scientist Supreme as he is looking at all of the commanders in charge of the siege operation.

"What's the point of this meeting? Did you want to alter the deal or something? It so, then-"Said Malekith with the tone that he is clearly not happy with the possible alteration of the original deal he made with the Scientist Supreme.

"Oh no! You've mistaken! I am not here to alter our deal."Said Scientist Supreme as he's putting up his hands to defend himself from such accusation.

"Then what is this about, human?"Asked Algrim with his natural but deep voice.

"I am here to inform you that Queen Alflyse is not only still alive. But she and her aides have found help, went back to Svartalfheim and is on the way back to the capital."Said Scientist Supreme

"What?! Didn't you say you will have her dealt with back then if she escaped to Midgard?!"Asked Malekith with fury in his voice.

"And according to the most recent report, she had recaptured an airbase and dealt a heavy blow to my fleet. Now, you and you army are trapped alone there with no supply or reinforcement."Said Scientist Supreme

"Should we dispatched some assassins after her, sir?"Asked Algrim

"That will not work. Most of the villages and towns in the desert are occupied by the forces made up of droids as garrisons and all survivors are imprisoned."Said Cetus

"Then just have one of those garrisons of yours stopped her and whoever she brought with her. Utilize the survivors in the towns and villages as hostages if it is necessary."Said Malekith as he turned around and leave the command center with Algrim and the two Dark Elf twins.

"Do as he said, Cetus."Said Scientist Supreme

"As you command, Scientist Supreme."Said Cetus as he turned to one of the Securitrons nearby.

"Also, did the cargo has been delivered before the fleet retreated?"Asked Scientist Supreme

"The new weapons have arrived just in time before I lost contact with the fleet, sir."Said Cetus

"Very good. Used them as you and the other commanders pleased. Either assisting in the siege or dealing with the Queen's forces, I am fine with it. Just secure this world for our cause and put Malekith on the throne as our puppet. The expansion into the rest of the Nine Realms awaited us."Said Scientist Supreme

"As you command."Said Cetus before his superior disappeared from the holographic projector.

"Go get me Sub-Commander Blake. Tell him that he now has the opportunity to test out one of the new weapons."Said Cetus and that Securitron nodded and leave to find the one known as Sub-Commander Blake. Then, General Cetus turned back at the holographic projector and contact one of the garrisons out there in the desert. Once he did, the holographic projection of the Dark Elf with long hair in armor and cape appeared before him.

"Captain Rotjaw."Said Cetus

"General Cetus, may I know why you're contacting me? Is there something you needed from the town that I occupied?"Asked Rotjaw

"Queen Alflyse and her aides have returned. And they're back with reinforcement. If you come across them, make sure all of them are executed."Said Cetus

"Anything else?"Asked Rotjaw

"Yes, spread the words out to the other garrisons. Alert all of them about the possible arrival of the Queen and her forces. Have them dealt with lethal force is authorized and using prisoners as living shields and hostages are permitted."Said Cetus and with that, the transmission between him and Captain Rotjaw ended.

Meanwhile in the Endless Desert, a Harrow piloted by Sir Wormsong is flying across the desert along the Great River. The passengers aboard are the members of the League of Villains, Queen Alflyse of the Dark Elves and Waziria, the Royal Shaman.

After retaken the space station, Sir Wormsong took Mr. Compress, Lady Nagant, Li Lanying, Black Knight and the three Nomu back to the airbase. With Ambassador Amora and her team, the Executioners, decided to stay behind to guard the airbase, the Queen of Svartalfheim, her aides and her allies decided to travel to the capital by using a Harrow. According to the female Ambassador from Asgard, they will encountered some towns and villages occupied by the garrisons left behind by the A.I.M's army on the way to Zahakara. And the first one that they're reaching right now is known as Kalik.

"We will be approaching Kalik soon. And with a Harrow, liberating it will be easy."Said Sir Wormsong

Unbeknownst to him and everyone inside of the Harrow, however, they're being watched. One of the probe droids patrolling the perimeter spotted the Harrow they are using is flying into the direction where the town of Kalik is and immediately sending the signal back to the town's courtyard, which has been converted into the command center for the A.I.M's garrison stationed there, along with the recorded video. At the command center, one of the Securitrons who watched the footage immediately alerted Captain Rotjaw about the enemy's vessel that is arriving soon at high speed.

"Captain! The enemy is in range."Said Securitron Sergent

"Fire at will!"Said Captain Rotjaw and thirty five bolt cannons immediately aimed into the air and begin to fire toward the Harrow!

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

Due to the intense firing from multiple directions, Sir Wormsong is unable to land the vessel and is forced to turn around. Once the Harrow is turned away, the firing ceased. However, Captain Rotjaw knows that this is not over.

"They're escaping. Should we go after them?"Asked Securitron Sergent after seeing the enemy's vessel in retreat.

"No need. Our duty is to keep this town under our control. Have some Gruleks dispatched to hunt them down. And if they survived the beasts, we will always be there waiting for them!"Said Rotjaw as he is looking around him and seeing the Securitrons are bringing the Dark Elves out of their prison cells while also intimidating them, forcing them to cooperate. Male and female, young and old, rich and poor alike, who have been captured and used as hostages and living shields to make sure that Queen Alflyse and her allies will not do anything to harm the garrison without harming her subjects.

"As you said, sir!"Said Securitron before he leaves to relay his commanding officer's order.

Meanwhile behind the ridge not far from Kalik, the Harrow has landed and the Queen of the Dark Elves and the members of the League of Villains are discussing about how to infiltrate into Kalik and take out the A.I.M's garrison instead of flying in by using the Harrow. The problem with this plan is the fact that the Queen and her aides have no knowledge of the ways around Kalik or anywhere else out here in the Endless Desert at all.

"Wait! Hold on! Are you telling us that you do not know the way around here despite being the locals here?!"Asked Tomura

"Well, we spent most of our lives in the Twilight Zone. Unlike here, that place is full of vegetation and water. The peoples who were born and grown up in the Twilight Zone rarely leave it for the desert unless they are merchants, being part of the military or exiled for some serious crimes."Said Waziria

"We only know that there are some towns and villages out here. But that's just it."Said Sir Wormsong

"Terrific..."Said Lady Nagant as she's rolling her eyes.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of rock crashing from the other side of the ridge. Suspected that the enemies have come after them, everyone prepares for an attack. But after waiting for a moment and no attack come, they know something is not right. Curious, Mustard decided to check it out with Black Knight and Himiko accompanied him. Once they reached the top of the ridge and look down, they saw a young adult female Dark Elf is tending the wound of a male Dark Elf who appered to be the equivalent of the male human in his 50's. The female Dark Elf is wearing long sleevless grey robe, brown shoes and has long dark blue hair and yellow eyes while the male Dark Elf is wearing grey shirt, black pants and brown shoes. He is also pot-bellied, has yellow eyes and largely bald.

From behind the ridge, Mustard turned around and inform the others that there are no threats while the Black Knight and Himiko keep their eyes on the two Dark Elves down below. When Waziria, Sir Wormsong and Queen Alflyse arrived to take a look themselves. They smiled upon seeing some of the survivors. Taking this opportunity, Waziria steps out and go down below to meet them on behalf of her Queen.

"Excuse me!"Said Waziria and upon hearing that, the two Dark Elves down below looked up to see the Queen of the Dark Elves, Sir Wormson and some members of the League on the top of the ridge. On instinct, the female Dark Elf immediately drawn a sword from under the robe and get into the fighting stance!

"Whoa! Hold on! Hold on! We're friendly!"Said Waziria but the female Dark Elf before still did not withdraw her weapon. Then, Queen Alflyse herself steps forward and introduce herself to both Dark Elves below the ridge.

"I am Queen Alflyse, the rightful ruler of Harudheen. You both can trusted me and my allies. We're here to help."Said Alflyse

"Forgive me for not believing you, Your Majesty. My name is Mageth by the way. And this is father, Belith."Said Mageth as she is looking down at her injured father with concern in her eyes.

"So... what is the mighty Queen of our people doing out here in the desert?"Asked Mageth while eyeing the Queen and her allies suspiciously.

"We're here to help, of course."Said Waziria

"Can you show us a way to get inside the town? Please, we needed to get in there and free the other survivors."Said Alflyse

"Why do you suddenly care about us, Your Majesty?! Unless you wanted us to take care of one of your scums, you forest-dwellers never cared about what we have to eat in each day like at all!"Said Belith

"Control your tongue, elder. This is the Queen you are speaking with!"Said Wormsong as he is drawing his blade and point it down to him.

"Please, sir. Let us help you. You're injured. With you in that condition, you cannot save the town."Said Black Knight

"My daughter and I need no help! Especially, from those money-hungry selfish bastards from the Twlight Zone! Come on, Mageth! Let's go! We got a town to save!"Said Belith and quickly limp away from the Queen and her group as fast as possible. Without saying a word, Mageth hurriedly runs after her father, leaving Queen Alflyse, her aides and the League of Villains alone.

"You're welcome!"Said Himiko sarcastically as they are going further away from them.

"So... what now, Your Majesty?"Asked Tomura as he's crossing his arms.

"Let's just follow them from the distance. Making sure neither of them see us. They might be able to lead us back to the safest route to enter the town."Said Alflyse

"Wait! You mean we have to walk?!"Asked Mustard

"Any better idea, little one?"Asked Alflyse as she's placing her hands on her hips while also glaring at him. Mustard simply shakes his head as a no.

"Then let's just go."Said Alflyse and she begins to walk after Mageth and her father back to the town. Since the town of Kalik is not far from where they landed the vessel, it did not take long for them to reach the village and catch up with them. But as soon as they arrived, they found Mageth and Belith are under attack by the A.I.M's war droids on the walls and they cannot do anything but hiding among the trees within the woods!

"Kurogiri..."Said Tomura as he's eyeing Kurogiri.

"I got this!"Said Kurogiri and he formed two portals from his hands, allowing Dabi to shoot flames into both portals. At the other ends of both portals, which are right within both bunkers, two massive blue flames blasted out and engulfing all droids stationed there and the machine guns.

"I thought I told you we needed no help from you the forest-dwellers!"Said Belith as soon as he and his daughter are seeing the Queen of the Dark Elves, her aides and the League of Villains approached them.

"Yeah, you and your daughter were so doing well on your own."Said Himiko in the sarcastic tone.

Meanwhile, back at the A.I.M's forces' command center in Kalik...

"Sir, we've lost contact with the outer defense."Said Securitron Sergent

"The Queen and her forces have overrun the town's perimeters. Find out what their next move is."Said Rotjaw

"As you command, Captain."Said Securitron and then, he pressed one of the buttons nearby on the control panel and release two flying semi-sphere-shaped drones with six legs and three eyes with an order to search the enemies around the town and learn from them what their next move is.

Back at the outer walls, the Queen of the Dark Elves and the League of Villains have the walls secured and is now ready to move on further into the village. However, they know that knowing what the enemies have in store for them is also required. So Shigaraki has Spinner and Dabi dispatched to scout ahead along with Sir Wormsong and Mageth since Waziria needed to stay with the Queen. Inside the town of Kalik later on, Sir Wormsong, Mageth, Spinner and Dabi are now walking along an empty street.

"Buildings are just buildings. What really make the city are people who live in it."Said Wormsong as he's looking around himself while walking.

"So... where are they?"Asked Dabi as he's following him behind. Then, they all stopped and Sir Wormsong turned to look at the rest of them.

"Maybe the town's courtyard?"Asked Mageth

"Then we'll go check the courtyard. Can you two cover the area in the south?"Asked Wormsong

"If it will helped finishing this scouting mission faster, so be it."Said Dabi and then he leaves the group for the south of the town with Spinner behind him. After they left, Wormsong and Mageth left for the town's courtyard.

Later in the south of Kalik, Spinner and Dabi are scouting the area alone along the street.

"I'm telling you, Dabi. This is creepy. You think they... killed all of them?"Asked Spinner as he's looking around and see nothing but an empty town.

"Well, there are no bodies. They were driven from their homes. I don't think they had a-"Said Dabi but then, he and Spinner heard something behind them, thus making them stop to take a look what is behind them. But when they turned around, they see no ones.

"Had a what?"Asked Spinner

"Hmm. A choice."Said Dabi

Meanwhile, General Wormsong and Mageth have discovered the command center of the A.I.M's droids forces and are secretly monitoring from their hiding spot. There, they found the survivors are being held hostages.

"It's not going to be easy to get to those heavy weapons."Said Mageth as she's seeing how many of the Securitrons and the Demolishers are standing between them and the bolt cannons.

"There is always a way, young lady."Said Wormsong as he's using the binoculars given to him by Shigaraki to look around the occupied courtyard. And that is when he see a large group of Dark Elves, male and female, young and old, are being held as hostages in the center of the courtyard.

"So they're holding the survivors as hostages. We have to report this to the Queen immediately!"Said Wormsong after he saw the townspeople are being rounded up on Rotjaw's order to be utilized as living shields. Then, he and Mageth get up from their hiding spot and return to Queen Alflyse and the League of Villains.

Meanwhile in the south of Kalik, both Dabi and Spinner heard the sounds of focks falling and decide to check it out. They followed the sounds to their source, only to find a little Dark Elf girl in white dress is hiding behind a crate.

"Nah. That's just a little girl."Said Dabi after he and Spinner saw who is the one making the noise.

"Well, what are we going to do with her?"Asked Spinner

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hold on! Why do we have to do anything? We got a job to do here."Said Dabi

"But we should do something! I said we take her with us!"Said Spinner

"You can't be serious! She will only slowed us down!"Said Dabi and suddenly, the little Dark Elf girl hides behind the boxes again.

"See? She's afraid of us."Said Dabi but then, one of the recon drones appeared behind them not far from they are. But luckily, the drone did not spot them.

"Not us! Quick! Hide!"Said Spinner as soon as he spotted the drone while he and Dabi quickly hide behind the pillars. After the drone is looking and scanning the area for anything unusual, it immediately left the area for somewhere else.

"I guess that the enemies now know we're here. So we better get moving."Said Dabi

"But we can't leave her here!"Said Spinner

"Ugh! Fine! We'll take her!"Said Dabi as he's approaching the little girl.

"Be careful!"Said Spinner

"Don't worry, lizard. I don't think she's armed."Said Dabi as he's reaching his right hand to the Dark Elf girl. But before even Spinner can retort to not call him a lizard, she bit Dabi's index finger.

"AH! Little Elf just bit me!"Said Dabi as he's shaking the hand that she just bit while she tried to make herself looked smaller to disappear behind the boxes.

"Hey, stop it! You're scaring her, man! She most likely thought we're one of those tin cans."Said Spinner as he's removing a blade from himself, drop it on the ground and raise his hands up while also kneeling down before her.

"Do not worry, we're friendly."Said Spinner as he is kneeling before her slowly. However, that is still not enough to convince her because she refused to come out from behind the boxes.

"Wanted some snacks, kid?"Asked Dabi as he's pulling out two packs of choco pies and offer them to Spinner. He then takes one and tear the cake out of the package for the little girl to eat. The little Dark Elf girl comes out of her hiding spot, sniff the cake a little and quickly grab it from Spinner's hand and eat it as fast as possible.

"So now that you made a friend. Can we go?"Asked Dabi as he's turning around and walking away.

"Come on, kid! Come on!"Said Spinner as he's making a hand gesture for her to follow him and Dabi after he stood up.

"Look! She didn't even want to go. The little monster was fine before we came along. So let's move!"Said Dabi as he's turning around and leave. After staring at the kid alone for a moment, Spinner makes up his mind and decided to join Dabi. Unbeknownst to both of them, the little Dark Elf girl immediately runs after them as soon as she finished eating.

Later, somewhere in the town of Kalik...

"So... forest-dwellers?"Asked Himiko

"Hmm? What about it?" Asked Belith

"Why you called Queenie and her pals that?"Asked Himiko

"Long story short. They followed the one called the Discoverer into the Twilight Zone, form civilization there, forget about us and only remembered we existed when they decided to exile political dissidents and criminals into the desert. And when we protested or plead for help, we are ignored. And when we rebelled, they crushed us."Said Belith

"And who is this-"Said Himiko but before she can finished, the grounds beneath her feet suddenly begin to tremble.

The trembling keeps getting nearer and louder. Then, out of nowhere, a 15 feet tall omnivorous bird-headed gorilla-like creature with brownish furs and frills around its neck appeared from the left the League of Villains and the Dark Elf allies! The giant creature looked down at them for a few seconds before unleashing a roar to intimidate them.

"ROAR!"

"A Grulek!"Said Waziria as the creature now identified as Grulek is running toward them.

"A what now?!"Asked Mr. Compress but before anyone can say anything, the Grulek charged at the group while roaring out loud, trying to grab one of them to eat.

"Toga! Watch out!"Said Black Knight as he's immediately takes Himiko's right hand without a second thought and take her with him, thus being the first to leave the group. Then, the rest of them scattered into multiple directions into the empty town before the Grulek can catch any of them. However, one of them us slower than the others.

It looked around and see Belith, who stopped running because of his injury, and stand there to catch his breath. Believing him to be an easy target, the Grulek charged toward the magician-themed villain. As Lady Nagant is trying to get a shot at the creature from the house that she is hiding, the Grulek is suddenly touched by Mr. Compress from behind with its right hand. Soon, the Grulek is turned into a marble and Mr. Compress puts it into one of his pockets.

"Wow! Mr. Compress, that was amazing!"Said Black Knight as he is running out from his hiding spot with Himiko to meet the magician-themed villain.

"Thank you, young man."Said Mr. Compress

"So... what was that thing?"Asked Magne as she's rejoining the group with Lady Nagant and Mustard while looking at the Queen of the Dark Elves and the Royal Shaman, who're also rejoining the group as well.

"A Grulek. It's the most fearsome creature on our world. And there are many more of them out there and they loved all sorts of meats."Said Alflyse

"Hey, guys! Remind me again why do we take this job?"Asked Magne, still pretty much shake up from the first encounter with the Gruleks.

Meanwile back at Spinner and Dabi, who are still patrolling around the empty street. But unbeknownst to them, Dabi at least, the little Dark Elf girl is secretly following them from behind.

"I wondered what happened to her family."Said Spinner after he spotted the little Dark Elf girl was hiding behind one of the pillars that he and Dabi just walked passing by.

"Maybe dead already. But who knows, she might make it out on her own like me."Said Dabi

"Like you?"Asked Spinner and that is when Dabi's eyes go wide, realizing that he spoke too much.

"Forget it..."Said Dabi and Spinner decided to drop the subject, seeing that he does not like to talk about what he went through growing up.

"So... what's going to happened to her? I mean, after we left?"Asked Spinner

"I don't know. And don't get any idea! We're not taking her with us!"Said Dabi as he and Spinner turned around to find her, only to see that she is nowhere to be seen.

"Where did she go?!"Asked Spinner abut when he and Dabi turned around to continue the patrol, they found the little Dark Elf girl is standing before them!

"Hey! There you are!"Said Spinner as he's kneeling down and touch her on the nose playfully with a smile on his face.

"How did she get in front of us?!"Asked Dabi but instead of receiving an answer, she runs away into the direction they are heading.

"No! Don't go that way! That's where one of those flying tin cans headed!"Said Spinner

"Let her go, lizard!"Said Dabi

"I'm not going to let those tin cans take her!"Said Spinner as he immediately runs after the little Dark Elf girl with concern.

"Just trying to keep you alive! No idea why either..."Said Dabi as he's running after Spinner.

As Spinner and Dabi are running after the mysterious little Dark Elf girl, they have to jump across a rock that she crawled through. And when they thought she disappeared after missing her, she revealed herself to them to be hiding behind one of the pillars that is supporting a house.
Her face is full of determination but yet, also sadness. But every time they appeared before her, she puts up a smile before them. Soon, they finally caught up to her in front of one of the destroyed houses.

"Hey! There you are!"Said Spinner as he's running up to her and pat on her head gently as she's standing before the destroyed house, staring at it intentionally.

"Good! You found her! Now let's get out of here!"Said Dabi as he's approaching them from behind. Then, the little Dark Elf girl pulls Spinner's left hand, telling him to go with her. And he decided to do so.

"What are we doing here anyway?"Asked Dabi as he's following them from behind. Soon, all three of them entered a destroyed house. It has two large holes on the ceiling and a large part of the staircase has been destroyed. Once inside, the little Dark Elf girl just stared at everything around her.
After seeing that she did nothing but staring and looking around, Dabi decided to sit down at what left of the staircase while Spinner keeps observing her and the surrounding.

"I guess... this was her home. Poor little thing, she lost it all."Said Spinner with sadness in his eyes after having observed enough. Then, he looked down to his left, found a purple doll in a shape similar to that appeared to be a cross between a weasel and an otter and pick it up. He then walked up to the little Dark Elf girl, whose face looked like she is about to cry anytime, and offer her the doll. As soon as she received the doll, the dam broke and tears streamed down from her eyes like waterfalls. The destruction and the pain brought by war is a lot for her to take as a child.

"It's okay now. We... we're with your Queen and we're here to help."Said Spinner as he's kneeling down before her to comfort her after he stood in front of her. Seeing that he is comforting her despite not understanding a thing he said, the little Dark Elf girl hugs him back while still keep crying. Such an action took Spinner by surprise! After all, nobody has ever hugged him before but his parents.

After seeing such a display, Dabi gets up from where he is and join the group.

"Don't worry, kid. We... we will keep you safe... somehow. I promised."Said Dabi as he's kneeling down to comfort the little Dark Elf girl. She then switched from hugging Spinner to hugging Dabi too. And just Spinner, Dabi is taken by surprise about her action as well! He then comforts her back by patting on her back gently for a few times.
But suddenly, the three of them feel vibrations in the earth and hear the trembing sounds are getting nearer and nearer to them.

Upon hearing the trembling sounds, Dabi, Spinner and the little Dark Elf girl immediatley get up. Just as they're leaving what left of the house, another Grulek appeared. But unlike the other one that attacked the others a moment ago, this one has green fur.

"ROAR!"

"Terrific."Said Dabi sarcastically as he's looking at the hungry giant carnivorous alien predator before him.

"ROAR!"

The Grulek immediately charged toward them. However, Dabi just unleashed massive blue flames from his left hand on the predator! But instead, the grulek jumped across the fire and would have grab him if Spinner did not pull him back inside the house with him. As for the little Dark Elf girl, she is the first who retreated back inside the house and search for the other exit. She then picked up a few rocks from the ground and move them away. As she is clearing the rocks, Spinner and Dabi are getting into the fighting stances, waiting for the moment when the beast will punch through the door to get inside. However, Spinner soon spotted the little Dark Elf girl is clearing the last of the rocks out and is opening a secret door that lead down below! Upon seeing that, he nudged Dabi to follow him. And just as soon as they're getting down there, the Grulek broke through the door and try to snatch Dabi but failed to do so.

Frustrated, the Grulek shakes its head around a few times before leaving the place. Then, it raised its head into the air and smell for other potential source of foods. It smelled two sources of meats. One from where the League of Villains are at the moment and the other one from the the Dark Elf survivors that are being held hostages by the A.I.M's troops.

Later, somewhere inside the town of Kalik, the rest of the League of Villains, along with the Queen of the Dark Elves and her Royal Shaman, are on the move to the courtyard with mission to liberate the survivors and free this town from military occupation. But then, they heard another trembling sounds coming from afar

"Not again!"Said Magne

And suddenly, the Grulek that Spinner and Dabi encountered earlier appeared before them by coming out from one of the streets on the right. It then comes to stand between them, blocking their path while also staring at them intently and hungrily.

"ROAR!"

Then, the Grulek charged a them, intending to capture one of them as its meal! But before it can reached them, Lady Nagant extended the rifle out from her right elbow, loaded it and aim it at the approaching alien predator. Then, she fired the shot and wounding it in the shoulder! This stopped it and make it roar out in pain while holding its wounded right shoulder! Seeing his chance, Mr. Compress quickly runs out, touch it and turn it into a marble.

"Good shooting!"Said Mr. Compress

"Thanks."Said Lady Nagant with a smirk as she's turning her arm back to normal.

As they are about to move on, the manhole nearby suddenly moves on its own! Everyone immediately prepared themselves for another possible attack. But when Dabi and Spinner emerged from the underground, they immediately lowered their guards.

"Dabi! Spinner! You guys are okay!"Said Black Knight

"And who is that little girl behind you?"Asked Himiko as she's pointing to the little Dark Elf girl that is hiding behind Spinner's back.

"The kid who helped us out by leading us through the tunnels, duh!"Said Spinner and upon hearing that, the Queen of the Dark Elves herself approached the little girl.

"Hello little one."Said Queen Alflyse as she's kneeling down before the little Dark Elf girl.

"I can translate what she said for us if you wanted."Said Waziria as she's pulling out the Dream Gem, ready to cast a spell to help the young female Dark Elf be able to communicate with the League of Villains.

"Rana nol djesh igreljy teithas mouha?"Asked Queen Alflyse

"Vaath, kir rana."Said Dark Elf Girl as she's poking her head out to look at the beautiful Dark Elf Queen before her from behind Spinner's back. Then, Waziria casts a spell on the little Dark Elf girl, allowing the humans to hear her speak in their language.

"And can you take us there?"Asked Queen Alflyse in Shivaisith.

"Yes, I can!"Said Dark Elf Girl as she's nodding her head after she replied to the Queen in her native language.

"General Wormsong! We're going to need a diversion. And I believed those three creatures will served well in such roles."Said Queen Alflyse as she's turning to look at the male Dark Elf knight.

"Speaking of them, why didn't you bring them out to help us earlier?"Asked Magne as she's eyeing Mr. Compress, who is standing beside her.

"Forgive me, Miss Magne. A lot happpened ever since we entered this town to the point that I've forgotten that I have them kept as marbles in my pocket."Said Mr. Compress

Sometime later on a cliff near the A.I.M's command center in the village, Li Lanying, Mr. Compress and Lady Nagant are standing there along with Mustard and looking at the occupational army of war machines down below. Then, the magician-themed villain reaches out into one of his pockets, take out three marbles and throw them down below into the middle of the command center. One of the marbles hits the Securitron in the head before falling down to the ground. As the Securiton is kneeling down to inspect the marble that just hit him, Mr. Compress snaps his fingers, turning all three marbles into the fearsome Nomu! And as soon as they are released, they immediately go on to rampage against the A.I.M's droids army!

When the three Nomu begins their rampage, the enemy's army becomes distracted, allowing Queen Alflyse to go in through the secret tunnel along with Black Knight and Toga to free the Dark Elf hostages. Meanwhile, Mr. Compress is still standing over the cliff and simply looking at the battle down below. Then, he takes more marbles out from his pockets and throw them down to the battlefield below. As they're about to land on the ground, Mr. Compress simply snaps his fingers.

Suddenly, the marbles are transformed into General Wormsong, Waziria and the other members of the League of Villains. Back to being normal, they quickly joined the battle. Spinner slices all of Securitrons they can find with his sword while Magne uses her giant magnet to smash all enemies near her. Dabi unleashed a storm of blue fire upon a group of Securitrons and three Demolishers, burning all of them to into scrapped pieces of metals. As for Lady Nagant, she simply turned her right arm into a rifle and begin sniping the unsuspecting Securitrons by one by one in order to assist the Nomu and the others down below.

Kurogiri, on the other hand, simply opened a number of portals there and there by using his quirk, transporting all shots fired by the enemies back at their own forces one way or another. As for Twice, he created clones of the other members of the League of Villains to assist while he is being protected by Tomura and Kurogiri respectively.

And as this is happening, Queen Alflyse managed to free all of the hostages by using a sword borrowed from Li Lanying and with the helps from Black Knight and Toga. Once freed, the Queen of the Dark Elves signaled her people to follow her into the tunnel through the cave she came out earlier with her allies. However, the Securitron Sergent spots them and alert Rotjaw of this. This resulted in him turning around to stop the Queen of the Dark Elves from freeing the captives.

But before he can make it, some of the shots fired by the Securitrons and the Demolishers that have been transported around by Kurogiri's quirk ended up hitting the shells for the bolt cannons, destroying the cannons near them in the process.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

This resulted in Captain Rotjaw to be hit by one of the explosions, injuring him and preventing him from stopping the Queen from rescuing the captives. However, he is not knocked out yet.

"You may have destroyed my cannons. But you will not leave this place alive!"Said Rotjaw as he's aiming his sword at Queen Alflyse, ready to strike her down. But before he can do anything, a knife suddenly flies right into his back, forcing him to let go of his weapon while he's collapsing on the ground.

Queen Alflyse then looked up into the direction where the knife came from and see Himiko is standing with Belith beside her.

"And stay down!"Said Himiko as she's running her latest stabbing victim and snatch the knife out, allowing his blood to spill out. Miraculously, he is still alive, judging by the fact that he is trying to get up despite the bleeding wound on the back. However, the Queen of the Dark Elves given him no chance and kick him right in the face with her right leg, thus knocking him out cold!

Soon, the remnant of the occupational army is defeated and the rest of the League entered the courtyard to see what to do with Captain Rotjaw. And as soon as Tomura arrived with Kurogiri, he knows what to do with the treacherous Dark Elf.

"Kurogiri, can you-"Said Tomura but Kurogiri, knowing what he wanted, obeyed him before he even finish saying it.

"You got it."Said Kurogiri and he immediately uses his quirk on Captain Rotjaw.

"No-"Said Rotjaw but before he can finished, Kurogiri has him warped away.

"Where did you send him? Where is he now?!"Asked Mageth, concerning that he might be back later.

"Don't worry, he won't be coming back to bother anyone here ever again. Right, Mr. Compress?"Asked Tomura

"Indeed..."Said Mr. Compress as he's approaching him and Kurogiri with two marbles in his right hand. Kurogiri then formed another large portal on the ground and Mr. Compress throws the marbles into the air, snap his fingers and allow it to turn back into two Gruleks! Before the Gruleks can harmed anyone, Kurogiri elevated the portal up into the air and take them to the same place he just sent Captain Rotjaw.

A few seconds later, the Gruleks reappeared out in the middle of nowhere somewhere in the Endless Desert. Then, they looked down and find the wounded Captain Rotjaw is staring at them in fear and shock!

"ROAR!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!"Screamed Rotjaw as he begins to get up and run for his life despite his bleeding wound but one of the Gruleks grabbed him and bring him closer to its opening mouth.

Sometime later at Belith's house within Kalik, the Queen of the Dark Elves and her entourage have been invited to stay there for the time being to rest and recuperate. As they are resting, Mageth prepared blue-colored herbal tea for them.

"Here. Have some of our blue tea. It will restored your energies."Said Mageth as she's pouring them cups of blue tea.

"Thanks!"Said Himiko as she's picking a cup of blue tea up and take a sip. Izuku, who is not in Black Knight's identity at the moment, soon joined her.

"Wow! It tasted great!"Said Izuku after he takes a sip of the tea while the blonde-haired girl near him decided to drink some more since she is thirsty.

Unbeknownst to them, however. Their victory is short-lived. Outside in the vast desert, nine A.I.M gunships are flying toward the town of Kalik, which is where they are at the moment. And one of the gunships is carrying a new weapon within it. It is a human-sized chamber with one of the A.I.M's experiments inside.


(Music: Inuyasha Ending Theme 11 - Diamond)

Mou kimi ni aenakute mo

Mae wo muite

Arukidasana kuchanai ima wo

Izuku, in his winter gears, which is a green coat with long arms and green scarf, is standing alone in the light with the darkness surrouding him while it is snowing all around him.

(Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalvaaaa!)

Somewhere else, Tomura, Kurogiri, Li Lanying, Blizzard, Dabi, Himiko, Twice, Mustard, Mr. Compress, Magne, Lady Nagant and Spinner are standing on top of the building as the snows are falling too. The scene then changes to the snowflakes with snows are falling.

Houtou ni taisetsu omou tabi ni

Houtou no jibun wo kakushiteshimau no?
Okubyou wagamama ni narezu ni

Himiko happily plays sled in the empty park with Mustard, who is appearing to be holding on her shoulders for his own life while sitting behind her on the sled while Twice is running after them down from the hill. On the top of the building somewhere in Musutafu, Blizzard and Dabi are secretly observing a villains' attack down below as Endeavor, Burnin, Kido and Onima are rushing to the crime scene to fight the villains. Back inside the Bar with No Name in Kamino Ward, Tomura, Li Lanying, Spinner, Lady Nagant, Mr. Compress and Magne are sitting at the counter while having cups of hot cocoa together while Kurogiri is washing a glass of mug behind the counter.

Kimi ga inai machi wa

Hitori ni wa hirosugiru ne

Doko he arukidaseba ii?

Somewhere else in Musutafu, Izuku is walking alone on the sidewalk as the snows are falling in the middle of the night. Then, the screen is closed up to his face, which is seemed to be sad.

Afuredasu DAIAMONDO

Hoho wa tsutai

The scene then changes back to the front of the Jaku General Hospital with six snowflakes near the edges of the screen, hinting the importance of the hospital and its possible connection with the League of Villains.

Kirakira maiochiru Donna ni kanashii toki mo?
Kizutsukanai Tsuyosa ga hoshii to negau no?

The scene then changes again to the front of the Bar with No Name in Kamino Ward with Izuku is walking toward its door. Later, when the door is opened. The rest of the League of Villains looked up to see that Izuku is entering the bar. Everyone, except for Tomura and Kurogiri, smiles at him, happy to see him return. Like them, he too is happy to see their faces again.

(Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalva. Nalvaaaa!)

The scene then changes to the dancing snowflakes with snows are falling.

Author's note: Originally, I was planning to use another Living Brain as the main antagonist for this chapter. But I scrapped that idea because I wanted the Living Brains to be as great and intelligent as the Super Tactical Droids in Star Wars. After all, the ones who designed and created them are the A.I.M.

By the way, during my absence of this story, I've been thinking more alternate history. Partially because one of my favorite alternate history YouTubers have "lost his way" and also because I've seen more characters have appeared as Black Knights from the past as well. So I took this opportunity to go a little further to explain how the Sublime Ottoman State survived and how Victor von Doom became the Kaiser of Latveria as well. So this will be the current retcon of this world's history. Let's started with the Sublime Ottoman State. During the Italo-Turkish War, the Black Knight of that time intervened on behalf of the Ottoman troops stationed in Libya, thus making it impossible for the Balkan Wars to happen, allowing the Sublime Porte to keep the European territories and making the relations between Britain and Turkey remained firmly secured. As for Austria-Hungary, it was pulled out of the war after Count Vladimir Fortunov launched a rebellion against Kaiser Charles of Austria and deposed him, thus allowing the House of Fortunov to replace the House of Habsburg-Lorraine with the support from the Allies and also reorganized Austria-Hungary into Latveria-Symkaria as well. But later during the World War II, Kaiser Vladimir Fortunov surrendered his country to the German invaders, thus forcing Count Otto von Doom to form a resistance movement against the foreign occupation to liberate Latveria-Symkaria. Of course, this war of liberation ended in success and the House of Doom replaced the House of Fortunov as the new ruling royal family of Latveria-Symkaria with Otto von Doom crowned as the new Kaiser. And yes, I renamed Austria-Hungary as Latveria-Symkaria instead because the seats of political powers have been moved from the Austrian and Hungarian territories eastward to Latveria and Symkaria instead. Plus, Austria-Hungary was always referred either as the Dual Monarchy or just Austria in English most of the times when it was still around in our world anyway. So I see nothing wrong with the country being referred to just Latveria in short while Latveria-Symkaria is the official name. If that's not enough, we have an actual country called Bosnia and Herzegovina in our world to be used as an example here. And yes, the House of Doom still allowed the members of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine to become politicians out of respect. The point of keeping these two multinational states around is to make sure that the Balkans and the Middle East to be fairly stable. Plus, I already decided to make Victor von Doom being a Kaiser anyway. So I think his country has to be quite... well... sizable.

So to sum it up, World War I did break out but it was just Germany and Austria-Hungary against the Allies. And then, a rebellion against Kaiser Charles of Austria happened and Austria-Hungary is reorganized into Latveria-Symkaria and also switched to the Allies in a middle of the war. And if that is not enough, the Ebony Blade has been taken from the Black Knight in Britain and given to his distant relative who happened to be in service of Kaiser Wilhelm II. And to not spoil the surprise but also to sum it up, it turned the tide of the war in Germany's favor until it did not.
Why? Because a hidden cult got involved. What hidden cult? Well, that is a secret for now. But everything will be revealed later on eventually.

And of course, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance!
