Darkest Hero
Hello once more to Darkest Hero, so this will not be a Omake to round things off but it is instead cannonising the cute club in this story. I have been working on this series since 2020 when the pandemic first hit Australia and frankly speaking I'm surprised it has lasted this long given my track record.
As such while cliche here is the Q and A segments taken from both comments and PMs about this story.
Q: Will it be ok to use this series and make an AU of it or a side story?
A: if anyone wants to do a "retelling", Recreation, AU or otherwise of this go right ahead, heck even PM me when you do so, I love reading different things so go nuts.
Q: You used to post once a week or fortnight but you've slowed down to a chapter a month, is this going to discontinue?
A: no it's not going to, atleast not anytime soon. I work most of the week and collect Warhammer 40k miniatures which I paint, writing is usually done in the last hour or two before I go to sleep at night so expect that to impact things.
Q: will you be doing a Collab with other writers?
A: honestly the last time I did a Collab, I was still in highschool and it was on Deviant Art working on a cringy transformers fanfic that has long since been abandoned to the sands of time, along with a Deadpool fic that lasted maybe 4 or 5 chapters tops.
Q: will you be adding Harry Potter elements like dementors or DxD elements like Raynare and the other fallen who attacked Kouh?
A: Harry Potter fandom got real toxic real fast when people started arguing over retcons and JK rolling changing her mind every other day, best leave that one alone for now. Also I already stated a few chapters back I won't be including DxD stuff mostly due to how annoying it is to integrate it into a series like Hellraiser and Hazbin Hotel which have very clear cut ways on how hell works which extremely contradict the DxD series.
Q: Why haven't you done anything with Kaminari?
A: honestly he was supposed to turn up a while ago but I ended up only including Kirishima instead of both of them since I for the life of me couldn't figure out how to include him.
Q: is Ochako's parents gonna be jerks like in the Christmas Omake?
A: nope, they'll be stern sure and rather traditional but understanding to their daughter's choices, definitely not homophobes in this.
Q: why did you write cats there? Isn't goose the only one present?
A: I actually wrote Rats and blood going into the sewers, it for some reason auto corrected to cats.
Q: Do you do fanart for your stories?
A: frankly I do not, I am ok at painting models but do not ask me to draw digital art, look at the mess over on my old Deviant Art account, I haven't improved much to be honest, if anything I got worse with lack of practice.
With those out of the way onto the next chapter. Also yes, I went there.
Chapter 64: Making History part 2
All across Japan people were transfixed on the images coming out of the Yuuei prefecture at the heart of the demonic invasion. Churches were bursting at the seams with how many flocked to them while many more were frantically trying to create makeshift weapons to defend themselves in the event the creatures got loose. The biggest shock came half an hour into the invasion when Mirko and two others were filmed by a long range camera outside the main city fighting the largest creature anyone had seen, it easily dwarfed Mt Lady who had been crippled earlier in the fighting. More worries were spoken between people when a shimmering dome appeared over the city which was cut short as the massive demon exploded after one of the three fighting it jumped off of its head.
Soon the murmurs of fear and worry turned to cautious celebration and cheer over the creature's death as news crews tried to speculate on what was happening inside the city. After the news crew headed by Kirsti had been all but slaughtered asides the main woman herself minutes before the death of the large creature there had been nothing from inside the city asides the repeated SOS messages from the disaster bunkers.
Then all at once every channel was hijacked and the smiling face of Nezu was displayed alongside a small host of individuals seated behind him. "Greetings! Am I a bear, a mouse or a dog? Who knows but it is I the principal of UA, Nezu!"
Briskly walking towards the Yuuei barrier God paused briefly to watch the broadcast on a storefront TV, shaking his head in mild amusement at his grandson's antics before continuing on his way.
"The main threat has been dealt with however in doing so the world has once more been introduced to the supernatural, while we lack representatives for all the various pantheons and factions present within the world you have yet to see we do have some representation." Nezu spoke calmly. "In representation of the biblical hell we have Charlie Magne, daughter of my Uncle Lucifer, heiress of Hell and head of the effort to redeem sinners in hell."
"Hi." Charlie chirped somewhat nervously.
"In representation of the Sumerian pantheon we have Leviathan, goddess of family, Rightful punishments and deviancy." Nezu continued, Inko smiled and gave a polite wave while Eri who had been sitting in her lap gave a bright grin and enthusiastic wave. "As a representative of the Abrahamic factions is Azazel here as grandfather is currently off enjoying his waffles."
"G-greetings." Azazel muttered softly before hiding her face behind her notebook. Her halo and pure white wings on clear display.
"In representation of the cenobites we have in attendance young Midoriya here." Nezu stated with a gesture in Izuku's direction. The verdent teen merely squeaked in fright while sitting ramrod straight before his skull self immolated allowing his skull to be seen with the bare minimum muscle required to move his jaw and rotate his head remaining amiss the green flames. "Representing in an unofficial capacity the unaffiliated factions is miss Jirou minor goddess of music and other yet to be determined domains who only became a deity a month ago by mere chance."
Jirou gave a timid wave of her hand as she refused to look directly at the camera, a soft blush on her cheeks as she did so, her now visible wings twitched nervously behind her and her ear jacks clicked together. Already she could practically feel her parents eyes on her through the camera and was glad she left her phone in the dorms if only to not be interrupted on live television and embarrassed. Out of the cameras view Ochako grinned brightly as she shot her girlfriend a thumbs up. Next to her Vlad King was keeping a bound and gagged Toga from rushing for the blood...again...for the tenth time.
"And finally I myself shall be representing UA as the current principal, I myself am a renegade Abrahamic angel and child of Gabriel, for those unfamiliar with the terminology a renegade deity means one who is trying to or has succeeded in forming their own pantheon, an example would be Zeus or Leviathan here." Nezu shrugged. "This is all merely a informal announcement of the supernatural to the world as a whole, the pantheon summit will take place in two weeks and a more official recognition will be held there. This is not to become a pointless religious squabble either, we would of invited in the Shinto representative but they're out with Son Wukong again to celebrate yet another form of immortality that monkey has."
Inko chuckled softly to herself, Son Wukong was always a source of amusement, asides that one time he got her kicked out of a party back in 17AD when he shoved her causing her at the time mortal form to spill tea on some minor farming god.
"Instead I'll just ask the representatives to give a brief summery about their groups once Leviathan explained what happened." Nezu cackled with a mad grin causing Izuku's flames to burn brighter and higher as he trembled with nervous energy. Charlie leaned over and placed a hand on his knee in support, knowing how her boyfriend was.
"Thankyou Nezu." Inko smiled politely as she took to the podium, Eri smiled happily as she remained held in her mother's arms. "I am Leviathan from the Sumerian pantheon and current patron of the Cenobites that reside within the Labyrinth, what had happened here was the Hero killer got ahold of a copy of the ritual known simply as Makyr's wrath in hell's records and used it to bring forth the Icon of Sin, a creature made of every speck of rage and evil within humanity, and set it loose in the city resulting in the death and distruction you all saw. The city is currently under a Weird Barrier that will stop non humans from leaving on foot or by air once they enter and will last for the next month at most. As for the pantheon I am representing the Sumerians are frankly a mess, for those who study history look up what happened in New York City in the 80s and 90s involving the Ghostbusters, my idiot sister is responsible for the giant marshmallow man and my nephew for encasing the museum in Psycho reactive slime."
"Hi, I'm Eri!" Eri chirped happily. "I run the cute club and like making friends!"
"Come on Eri, let's let the other speak too." Inko smiled softly at her adopted daughter. "This is grown up stuff."
"Okay, bye bye people!" Eri smiled brightly as she waved at the camera, not knowing that this small act had gained the girl a cult following of people who would do anything to protect such a pure smile.
[With the LoV]
One for all was not having a very good day the doctor realised. All he knows is the TV is now a smoke wreck and his boss was now rocking back and forth muttering "oh god she's still alive", "NOT THE CUTLERY!" and "I'm fucking doomed, game over man game over."... Perhaps he shouldn't of tried that new pain killer alternative after all.
[Back at UA]
"H-hello." Azazel stutters slightly as she stood up, still hiding half her face behind her notebook. "I'm Azazel one of the angels of t-the Abrahamic faction, I'm h-here on earth to study love and help the hero hopefuls g-get better. B-basically the Christians, the Catholics, the protestants and the Jewish books are all right for the m-most part, a lot g-got lost in translation and d-due to author bias."
"Me next!" Charlie called with a smile once Azazel had retreated back to her seat in nervousness. With a spring in her step she made her way to the podium. "I'm Charlie Magne, daughter of Lucifer but I'm not the anti Christ, that's my half brother called Dani DeVito. Firstly, worship father if you like but please not near me, it's kind of weird hearing people praise dad when he burns cereal with milk honestly."
Off to the side Zazel quickly flipped through her notebook and scribbled down a few notes before once more closing her notebook.
"Uh hell is basically Detroit but less horrible honestly, or atleast Pentagram the city I grew up in is." Charlie continued, unknowingly spawning forth a meme that would be more widespread and hilarious than the Florida Man memes in America. Detroit Underworld, it's like Detroit but nicer. "There's a lot of different Hells and underworlds, from the Greek ones to the Nordic hell and each one is different. The Greeks use Elysium, Asphodel and Tarterus depending on how good or bad a person was, the Nordic hell used to be for their followers who died outside of battle but it's now reserved for traitors, rapists and murderers... And Loki when he is being an jerk. There's Argent D'nure which used to be a city for a group called the sentinels but is now feral demon territory...there's a lot so uh I'll hand it over to Izuku before I ramble sorry."
"M-me?" Izuku squeaked nervously. Charlie nodded as she gestured for him to take the stand but not before giving him a quick hug and peck on the cheek. "H-hi, I'm i-izuku Midoriya. I uh...I d-dont know m-much about the c-c-cenibites, I w-was raised human a-and have been l-like this a-about a y-year. T-they live in L-Labyrinth a-and they uh worship mum. I-I don't know m-much else." He burried his face in his hands as he shot back to his seat, his flames blazing strongly enough that everything in his immediate vicinity took on a emerald green glow.
"Guess I'm next." Jirou uttered softly as she made her way to the podium. "I won't pretend to know half of the factions I'm supposed to be representing, I've only been a deity for a month or so, also sorry mum, dad, I was planning on telling you after the festival finished. Uh anyway, I know about the Hawaiian, the Easter island, the Egyptian and the Dreamtime deities that I'm representing here, I'm sorry if I offend anyone I am unaware of, I'm currently unaffiliated but I still want to help people get along y'know?"
"Thankyou miss Jirou. For those watching at home and across the globe, I've prepared a digital package on UA's visitor website pertaining to today's events, to Anonymous, try and crash it I welcome the challenge." Nezu cackled loudly as his eyes started to glow gold. "Remember time is meaningless, reality is an illusion, buy gold, byyyyeeeee!"
"What the?" Mayberry yelped as the camera shut off with a burst of yellow static.
[The next day]
Eri smiled brightly as she once more brought down a gavel made of bone onto a wooden block while sitting at a table, morning sunlight could be seen through a crack in the curtains as the sun rose above the horizon. Goose was sitting on her lap purring loudly as Eri absently patted him behind his chewed ear. "I declare this meeting of the cute club open! First order of stuff, new friends!"
"Hello." A nervous Reiko muttered softly.
"Hi!" Dark shadow chirped while Tokoyami groaned softly and burried his beak in his hands.
"Too early." Tokoyami muttered.
"They are Reiko, Kirai and Tokoyami!" Eri chirped. "They're Oniichan's friends."
"Hello." A pair of identical twins in white dresses spoke in monotone.
"FRIEND YAAAAA!" Crite called in it's raspy voice as it threw their head back.
A wet haired girl in a white dress merely gave a throating croaking sound as she stared at Reiko. Reiko in turn gave a growl from the back of her throat which was responded to with a nod from Kayako.
"Frens." Stripe rasped softly with a fanged smirk from a darkened corner of the room, a pair of hot pink sunglasses covered their eyes while a bowler hat sat crookedly atop half their head.
"Why the fuck am I still here?" A ginger doll who had been tied to the chair with skipping ropes snarled in a deep baratone voice. "I though the author forgot about me!"
"Mad revelry." Tokoyami muttered.
"Next order of stuff. Who has something cute to share?" Eri asked.
"We found a new friend." The twins spoke as they put a box onto the table and opened the top, quickly reaching inside they pulled out a black fuzzy and half zombified cat. "We found it in an old cemetary near a Wendigo den."
"Meow?" Goose tilted its head before he spat out a wind up mouse onto the table, the zombified cat instantly sprung forth to play with the toy.
"Aww goose made a friend!" Eri cheered with a bright grin. "Mr stipe?"
"Nah uh. Nup." Stripe uttered while shaking his head, his ears flopping wildly as he did so sending his hat tipping off and into his lap.
"Annabell?" Eri asked.
"Fuck you!" The doll snarled as the table rattled violently.
"Shh." Eri shushed the doll as she held a finger to her lips and frowned at it. "Mean words are for jerk heads. Mr crite did you find anything cute?"
"Bonez." Crite rasped as it held up a small bird skull.
Eri have a soft gasp before a large grin broke out on her face. "We can finish the necklace for Mr Alister now! Then we can get him to join the cute club meetings!"
"I don't know if I should be terrified, offended or annoyed." Tokoyami deadpanned.
"All seem good." Reiko spoke softly as she leaned against Tokoyami's shoulder. "I just wish we had a good movie to watch later tonight."
"Movie!" Stripe called loudly and with a fang filled grin.
"Snow white!" Eri squealed in joy before leaping from her seat and rushing out of the room. "Oniichan, where did we put the reel for snow white?!"
"It's the crack of dawn you idiot don't shout." Annabell growled.
"I get popcorn." Spike hummed before curling into a ball and rolling away, completely ignoring Annabelle's words.
Kayako merely made a throaty croak as she turned to face Reiko.
"Yes cousin, I'll be sure to use protection with my loves." Reiko replied to the ju-on spirit before snuggling upto Tokoyami and kissing the side of his beak making Tokoyami do a double take.
"Reiko! But such mad revelry is best saved for the binding of our souls to one another until death do us part is it not?" The flustered teen asked.
"Hehe, we're gettin lucky." Kirai sang smugly as she did a slight shuffle.
"Hush." Tokoyami shushed his twin, glad that his feathers covered his blush.
"I'm not a religion follower." Reiko shrugged. "I don't mind being early and Its the wrong time of month anyway."
"Mad revelry." Tokoyami could only utter while Kirai cackled loudly, a look of smug satisfaction crossing her features somehow despite being made out of shadows.
A loud slam was heard outside drawing attention to Eri who was now squeaking in joy. "Onii-chan and his girlfriend's had a sleepover and Ibara is hugging everyone with her plant hair...but how did they loose their clothes?"
"Wait Eri no!" Tokoyami panicked as he rushed to pull the small girl away from the door which he firmly shut.
"LOCK IT NEXT TIME!" Dark shadow snapped at the now shut door, ignoring the panicked movements on the other side.
