"Zuzu? But only Olive calls me that...Dimentio?"
"Dimentio?" Answered the giant shadow. "Olive? Super! Super DimentiOlive! That's it! Thanks for the name, Zuzu!"
"Super DimentOlive?" Izuku questioned. "Why do you sound like Olive and Dimentio? And also like a robot? I hear a mechanical tone in your voice..."
The shadow shrank to a height that was a few inches taller than Izuku. "Zuzu, you don't recognize? Ah, why bother? A reintroduction would do!"
The sound of bells ringing came from the vanishing mist as they walked closer to Izuku. They moved the mist away from their face to reveal Dimentio's mask and blond bangs with a dark purple tip, a stripe of medium purple between them.
"Say, Zuzu...You like to have fun, right?"
As they emerged further from the mist, Izuku saw in more detail what monster the Chaos Heart had created. They wore a blue undershirt with golden buttons down the left side of it, a purple sleeveless coat tossed over it, the coattails coming down to their shins. The pants, still puffy, were a deep blue like the semi-puffy sleeves. Ruff sat at the ends of the sleeves and around their neck, it white with blue outlining the edge and white outlining the rim of the coat. The black pointed shoes now had bells on the ends and blue soles. The jester's hat was a lot longer now, it coming down to their shins, with a deep blue underside. The purple stripes had alternating black stripes going horizontally across their surfaces; it still having the little bells and the yellow diamonds between the sections of purple.
"Zuzu!" They tossed theirself into Izuku's arms. "Wanna play a game, Zuzu?"
"Please don't call me that..."
"Oh, so are you more of an Izuku or Deku person?" They smiled, showing their pale, light blue fangs. The eyes matched those of Dimentio's, except the black eye was entirely black with a red slit pupil, and the yellow eye was now blue with a black slit pupil.
"J-just call me Deku." He dropped them on the ground.
"Ouch! Twice within the same month!" They stood back up and grabbed Izuku's hands. "So, wanna play?"
He took his hands from them. "What?! Are you crazy?! You just tried to kill us, Dimentio!"
"It's Super DimentOlive, Deku."
"Whatever! Why would I trust you? You just almost killed me, mind controlled me, and might I add you tried to take over Olly's world before you had Olive burn it to dust!"
"So...you lied? You lied about being friends?"
"Wait, Olive? Is that you?"
"It's Super DimentOlive! And we won't tolerate being lied to!"
"'We?' What do you mean? Are you Olive or Dimentio?"
"We're Super DimentOlive! And why would you lie to us?!"
Olivia came over. "Super DimentOlive, calm down! Izuku's just confused, is all. He still wants to be friends with you, but the new fusion is confusing him."
"Fusion...? We're not a fusion! We're a person just like you!"
"Did I say fusion? I meant style! The jester style really suits you!"
They pulled up the end of the coat. "You really think so? Thanks, Olivia!"
Olly joined his sister's side. "Livi, what happened? I thought you said it'll kill them."
"It must have forced them into a fusion instead. The Chaos Heart has a power neither of us know about, so my assumption was just a guess."
"We know! We'll send you all to our world of fun and games where we can play all the time!"
"Huh?" Izuku said.
They held out their hand and snapped. Their hands were mostly black, the fingers peach, and their finger tips a deep purple. Blue circular lights sat on their knuckles. "Ciao! We'll see you there!" They vanished in deep purple squares.
Izuku screamed, and heard others also scream, as they were pulled through portals. Izuku landed on the ground. It had a checkerboard pattern on it, made of green and dark green squares. The purple sky held no clouds.
"Um...where are we?"
Super DimentOlive clapped. Izuku noticed they were airborne. "Don't worry! We prepared an introduction! We just need to wait for everybody to arrive."
"Wait..." Izuku spotted Inko in a crowd of people. "Are you teleporting all of Japan here?!"
"And America, and Europe, and...well, basically everywhere. So everyone can enjoy and have fun!"
"This is crazy! Do you know what'll happen when they all get here? They're all going to start attacking you because you teleported us to a death world!"
"Death world? Hahahaheehee!" They gleefully kicked their feet in the air. "You really don't understand, do you? This is a world of fun, not death! Nobody would get hurt, Deku! You're silly!" They smiled, the eyes becoming thin semi-circles with no visible pupils. "We like you, Deku. You're fun!"
Bakugou screamed and charged for them. They swiftly dodged and trapped Bakugou in puppet strings. He stood still and silent. Izuku heard a few people gasp. They picked up the ends of the strings and began dancing, Bakugou mindlessly following their movements.
"You like? It's a little trick called Puppet Strings! Piper taught it to us!" They finished it with a twirl.
"Kachaan! You just-just..." Izuku had no words and instead screamed.
"Hey, hey! He's alright, see?" They yanked out the strings and Bakugou blinked a few times and looked around.
"What the ^&#$...?"
"Kachaan, you're alright!"
"Shut up, Deku!"
"And now that everybody's here..." They began, clearing their throat. They inhaled before being interrupted by Aizawa's scarf.
It shot at them, grabbing them in a chokehold and slamming them to the ground. They flailed around on the ground for a bit before tearing the scarf free from their neck. They stood, keeping an iron grip on the scarf. They pulled Aizawa closer to them.
"Oh, Aizawa. How nice of you to join us." There was a hint of aggression in their voice.
"Stop this at once, villain!" All Might called.
"Oh? Villain? We're not a villain! We just want to play!" They tossed Aizawa skywards, still keeping hold of the scarf. "After all, everybody needs a playdate, and in this realm, we have all the time in the world! Super DimentOlive always provides!"
Aizawa slapped against the ground. He didn't move, but was still breathing.
"Hey!" Bakugou called. "You told Deku you wouldn't hurt anyone!"
"Protection is different from purposefully hurting people, you know!" Their neck sparked. They tossed Aizawa's scarf at the unconscious hero.
"For da Boss!" Tape yelled. He jumped from a giant hourglass, landing right on Super DimentiOlive's shoulders. "Ya like dat mask so much, huh?!"
He went to punch the mask, brass knuckles equipped, when the grabbed his ankle and tossed him to the ground. They grew to a giant size as the black stripes on their hat and the blue lights on their ruff and knuckles glew red.
"You're not being very friendly to us." As they spoke, Izuku noticed their mouth became more jagged rather than curving like normal. They picked up Tape by the head.
"Lemme go, ya freak!" He punched and kicked at the air.
"Heehee..." They grabbed his body with their empty hand and snapped Tape's neck, pulling his head right off.
Izuku forgot, for just a moment, that Tape had no blood or organs because he was just a roll of tape, and nearly passed out because of it. They tossed Tape at Izuku's feet, and his head towards Olly.
"Y-you killed him?!" Olly exclaimed.
"Now, wait a minute!" Their lights faded to blue again, the hat stripes becoming black once more. "Toys break all the time. You just need to fix them right up! Like so..."
They snapped and Tape vanished, reforming-whole-and landing on the ground on his knees. He curled into a ball and started sobbing heavily. Hole Punch went to comfort his friend.
"See? Good as new! Now, back to our little introduction..."
"Fire!"
Izuku noticed the Police forces from around the world waiting for the perfect moment to fire, and they finally got their reason why. Izuku wanted to stop them, for he knew what would come if one of those bullets were to break their mask, but the warning came too late.
The bullet simply bounced off the back of their head. "Hm?" They turned, returning to their small size. "Is this some sort of new game?"
"Hold your fire, hold your fire!" Izuku tried.
They held out their arm. "Now it's our turn to play!"
The officers stopped, but it was a little too late.
Their arm separated into large, thin sections. It reformed itself into a Gatling gun, aimed right at the officers.
"Did we do this right?"
"Olive's weaponized?!" Olivia gasped. "Wait, Super DimentOlive! This isn't a game!"
They stopped charging the gun and turned their head backwards to make eye contact with her. "It's not?"
"No, they're attacking you! Look around, you're scaring everyone! Put the gun away and come down to the floor, please."
"Oh..." They examined the crowd. "You're right. Everyone is so scared of us..." Their arm returned to normal and they gently landed on the ground between Class 1-A and the rest of the world. "We...didn't mean to scare you. We just wanted to make some frie-" They jolted.
Izuku saw Mind Weaver, who was teleported there as well, had stabbed them through the lower back with a knife. He pulled it out, black blood streaming from the wound. He started towards Olly and Izuku.
"What was that...thing? Is this continuation from when you put me and my group in prison? Was that not enough for you?!" He froze. Blood began streaming from his forehead, then his arms and legs, and finally his neck. He fell to the ground with a thud, laying in a pool of his own blood.
Super DimentOlive stood, stumbling on their way from the ground. Their neck and back were sparking with no end. "We're j-j-j-just pr-pr-protec-c-cting ourself-f-f...! E-e-e-everybody loves u-u-us...!"
"You just killed him!" Olivia exclaimed, fear now in her eyes.
"E-e-e-everybody loves u-u-us...!"
Bakugou took the chance of Super DimentOlive's glitching and tackled them. "We'll stop you!"
Without words, they tossed him. Bakugou skid across the floor, ending right at a cliff. He held on with both hands. They came over and slammed their foot on both of his hands, crushing his fingers and causing him to cry out in pain. Izuku came over and attempted to attack them from behind, but was sucked halfway through a portal.
"Kachaan!"
"So, you're the one who hates us...But that's wrong. Everybody loves us. We're loved by everybody."
"Stop gaslighting yourself!" Bakugou fought.
They applied more pressure to his fingers. Olivia finally came over.
"Super DimentOlive! What are you doing? You're hurting him!"
"N-no...! This is protection...! We're protect-protecting ourselves!"
"No, it's not! Bakugou was protecting everyone..."
"Don't say it!" They covered their ears.
Izuku noticed they actually didn't have any ears, but they could still hear nonetheless.
"You," Olivia finished.
"No!" They stumbled backwards, kicking Bakugou off the cliff.
"Kachaan! Why aren't the heroes doing anything?!"
"They trapped everyone except for you, Bakugou, and I when they arrived after what happened with Tape and Aizawa."
Their head glitched out of existence for a second. "I-it can't be true...! We were only being friendly..."
Bakugou used his Quirk to get back up the cliff. "Hey, you!"
They whipped their head in his direction, the bells on their hat jingling.
"Try this one on for size!"
Bakugou did the most powerful explosion he could muster, sending Super DimentiOlive flying. They crashed into a red and white striped tent in the distance, and explosion sounding and fire engulfing the tent afterwards.
Bakugou fell to the ground, panting. "That should've done it. Nobody can live through an explosion like what the *%$# happened to that tent back there."
The fire spread further, and Izuku saw a shadow coming towards them, staggering side to side as they walked.
"I don't think that did the trick, Kachaan."
"Everybody loves us..." They muttered repeatedly as they stumbled over to Bakugou. They held out their hand. "Nightmares of mistakes and your past...How long your dream will last...? That depends on how bad you did..." Their lights turned red, and their mouth became jagged again. "You life, your friends will bid. They'll try to save you...But that, they cannot do."
Bakugou was taken by surprise by hot pink strings attaching to his wrists and ankles. He dangled from the sky, a few inches from the floor.
"A nightmare..." They mumbled.
"We need to save him!" Izuku said.
"Those strings...I wonder if we can get into Dimentio's mind through them. One second." She went over to the fusion.
Their eyes were glowing lime green.
"Super DimentOlive, I know this isn't you! Snap out of this!" She grabbed their arm and shook them. "Please! I know you're a good person! I know you can be a hero!"
"Nightmare..." The strings went after Olivia, but she grabbed them instead.
"Izuku, take them off of Bakugou!"
"Right!" He pulled the strings from his friend and made sure he was okay. He was passed out, but not injured. "Now what?"
"Attach two to yourself and two to me. It'll get these ones on them."
"Are you sure this'll work?" Izuku asked, passing Olivia two strings.
"It's better than nothing. We need to snap them out of this rage mode they went into." She stared up at them sadly. "I know they're a good person...I wish Bakugou wasn't like this."
"Yeah, he wasn't always like this. But...that's what an ego can do to you, I guess." He put one on his left arm and the other on his right leg.
Olivia mirrored his string pattern. "Did it work?" Her eyes suddenly glew yellow.
Izuku's vision was blurred in darkness, and he found him and Olivia standing in an empty space. The only other person there was Dimentio, who was sitting on the ground with his back facing them. Chains held him to the floor.
"This must be Dimentio's mind..." Olivia whispered. "Look, there he is. Let's go talk to him."
They walked over to the jester and heard sobbing. Izuku saw his tears were a normal, clear, color. It was strange seeing that, since before his tears were pitch black.
Izuku cleared his throat and said "Dimentio? Are you okay?"
He flinched away from Izuku, finally turning to reveal he wasn't wearing his mask. "Izuku...? Olivia? How did you get in here?"
Izuku noticed that the black lines on his face and neck were gone. The chains were tightly wrapped around his wrist and ankles.
"You look normal here," Olivia pointed out. "You even have your arms. Is it because this is your mind?"
"Yes, and get out of here!"
"One second, Dimentio. I just want to talk."
He held out his hand. "N-no! Leave me alone!"
He fired a purple beam at her, a quick move of her head causing it to miss. "Listen, we just want to know how to snap Super DimentOlive out of their rage mode."
His expression softened. "Super DimentOlive? So, the Chaos Heart forced us into a fusion so it could reunite...Strange. I don't remember it being able to do that before..."
"I could have gotten more powerful when you were in that hiatus," Izuku suggested.
"Dark magic, after leaving a hiatus, kills the infected faster than it should to catch up with the time it lost. The Chaos Heart is no different. It must have gotten stronger in that time as well, since I was trapped in the-" He blinked. "Wait. Why was I telling you that? I said too much!" He ruffled his hair in frustration. "Graaah!"
"This is your mind," Olivia reminded, "so your thoughts might come to us through your mental form's words. I think the only reason you explained all of that was because you were thinking about it because we mentioned it. Does that make sense?"
"I guess..." He lowered his voice. "You're making no sense, lady."
"That's okay," she giggled. "Not everything I know about magic makes sense to my brother either, and he's smarter than me!"
"Why are you acting like a maniac?" Izuku asked. "It's creepy."
"When I was five...my mother died from some unknown illness. Shortly after that, I woke up in a completely different dimension. I found out I had Dimensia-like 'dimension'- and my stress and sadness make it finally tick. I got my dimension powers from that. I...lost my eye to an Oni Eater when I was just a newborn, so mother gave me hers." He fixed his bangs, Izuku catching a glimpse of his yellow eye.
"That's why your eye is yellow?"
He nodded. "I was made fun of a lot, for being the 'odd one out.' Power Sprites were rare, so my eye and missing father made me a big target. And let's not forget to mention the Normal Sprites and Oni Sprites were extremely racist towards each other. They hated us Power Sprites with a burning passion. Power Sprites are a mix of Oni and Normal Sprites and well...you can figure out the rest."
"That's pretty sad," Olivia said.
"I had one friend. Her name was Piper. She taught me those Puppet String techniques, including the one that brought you here. She was the greatest friend you could ask for until..." He shook his head. "No, that's personal. Too personal. I can't share that."
"That's okay. You can skip that."
He inhaled deeply. "Okay. Thank you for understanding."
"Of course!" She smiled.
"Anyways...you already know about the 'trapped in a dimension without time' thing." He stopped, his stance becoming relaxed. "I wonder how Em's doing...I haven't seen him since that day. Oh, wait...Right. I did that. Almost forgot for a second there..."
Izuku saw the words appearing before them like subtitles as Dimentio muttered to himself.
"Oh...why did I think that was a good idea? Now they're dead because of me. What have I done...?" He wiped tears from his face before remembering Izuku and Olivia were standing there still. "Ah-Sorry! I forgot you two were there!"
Olivia's smile faded. "Oh, you poor thing! You were so hurt, it's no wonder you hurt others! It's what you're used to, so you do the same to everybody you meet."
"That's...very comforting."
"You're so nice," Izuku said, stunned. "I mean, you even thanked Olivia for letting you skip over the part about Piper."
"You can say you met the real me, huh? Not the crazy jester you thought I'd be, huh?"
"I didn't know you were different inside."
"You and I both, kid." He rubbed his forehead. "Look, I like how you wanted to talk to me, but you don't belong here. You should leave." He held out his hand. "This shouldn't hurt, I think."
Izuku slowly opened his eyes to find he and Olivia laying on the ground. Super DimentOlive broke free from the strings. They closed their eyes and shook their head. They rubbed their eyes and opened them. Their eyes were no longer glowing and had returned to the normal way they looked.
"What...happened...? We feel so weak now..." They stumbled around, trying to back away from the cliff edge.
Bakugou finally stood. "Deku? Did you save me from those...things?"
Izuku nodded. "But I'm kind of worried about Super DimentOlive now. They look like they're going to pass out."
And on that, they collapsed.
