Chapter 11

Memories Of Revelation

The Next Day: 3pm

Izuku was nervous, I mean he barely had a wink of sleep and a lot of things happened yesterday. Thankfully the owners of the diner found his stuff and gave it back to him.

Izuku looked at his outfit as he wondered if it fit him, he wasn't really keen on fashion and Dan's suggestions were not really his style. So the store clerk of that clothes shop helped him and thought this would fit him.

He wore a black collared button up short sleeve shirt over a white t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans and his classic red shoes.

He checked his phone as it was 3 o'clock, he took a deep breath as he didn't know what to expect. Once he took his deep breath, the nerves started to come back as he then started to write something on his hand with his finger and then placed his hand on his mouth, almost like he just ate his nerves away…which didn't really help.

"Izuku?"

Izuku turned to see Mei in her usual black and red dress, with her tied ponytail.

"O-oh hi Raiden-san,"

She smiled, "Hi, did I make you wait,"

"Huh? Oh, I only got here 5 minutes ago," Izuku reassured her.

She looked at what he was wearing, he dressed quite neatly and not his usual outfit but she didn't mind either way. She had two goals today, one was to observe Izuku closely and make sure nothing attacked him and the other was just to enjoy her time with him.

"You look nice today," she complimented him. Izuku blushed as he scratched his cheek.

"Oh thank you, you look great yourself,"

This made Mei giggle a bit as she walked next to him.

"Alright, then where to then," she asked.

Izuku, despite the nervous wreck he is now, planned for this last night and made sure to make a schedule. First up, the mall. Where she can find all kinds of stuff to look for.

"First stop is Hashbul Central Mall, that way you find any kind of stuff that you like," Izuku said

Mei nodded, "Alright then lead the way,"

Izuku nodded as the two of them started to walk to the Central Plaza of the mall.

"You've finished the chore that your grandfather tasked you," Mei asked.

Izuku nodded, "Yeah I did actually, now he's giving me another task and this is more painful than the other one,"

He remembered what Henry did to him this morning. Izuku shivered at the thought of it.

"But I'll get used to it, but how have you been? Hopefully you didn't get too many missions," Izuku asked.

"It was less than what I normally receive so it wasn't to bad, but other than that it was a pretty normal day," she looked at him.

"I'm guessing you were pretty busy yesterday," she said.

Izuku thought about yesterday, "You can say that,"

Izuku looked at his small notebook he brought for this…date? Or was it just him showing her around, he couldn't tell.

"So Raiden-san, I think we should go to this crepe shop, just to have a little snack while I show you around the mall," Izuku suggested.

Raiden nodded, "Okay, is it good?" She asked.

Izuku nodded, "Yeah, Faith actually showed me that place when I first arrived in the city,"

Mei looked at him as she wondered, did he ever feel lonely. He lost all of his memories, being in a new area with no recollection of any of his memories.

"How are your memories so far Izuku," she asked.

Izuku looked at her as he thought about it, "I… still don't know, everything is still hazy and I can't seem to put them together,"

Mei solemnly looked at him, "I know you want your memories but does it ever make you…feel lonely?" she asked.

Izuku thought about it some more, "Yeah… it does, it does get lonely. I always want to find out who I am but nothing comes up but maybe in my past life… I may have done something I've regretted,"

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I don't know but maybe forgetting is probably my greatest sin, forgetting the people that had a connection with, maybe they moved on or some didn't, I don't know," Izuku answered.

"But even so, I have people here now, I'm sure I'll meet them along the way, someday." Izuku reassured himself.

Mei admired his positivity, even though he still couldn't remember, he was still hopeful.

"I'm glad, I hope you still have this same attitude once you remember," Mei said.

Izuku nodded, "I hope so too," he looked ahead as he saw the entrance to the mall.

"Alright, looks like we're here, let's go to that crepe shop," Izuku said.

Mei nodded, "Lead the way,"

After they got their Crepes, Izuku started to show her around the mall. He showed her all kinds of stores that he knew very well. The clothes shop though, he wasn't an expert so once Mei and Izuku got into one, he was clueless, which made Mei giggle a bit.

He went back to that clothes shop, where he bought his clothes and the store clerk recognized him immediately.

"Oh? Is this your date, my my aren't you lucky," she said.

Izuku blushed in embarrassment, "Um it's not like that promise!"

Mei could only watch him explain what they were doing but in a sense, Mei felt like this was a date, she didn't know why Izuku was flustered so much about it.

"Right~ anyways what can I do for you, here to try on some new clothes? Maybe buy some?" the clerk asked.

"Oh no I'm just showing her some of the stores I go to here," Izuku said.

"Oh please," she looked at Mei, "Wouldn't you like to see this man in a different outfit than his normal," she asked.

Mei was about to say that it was fine until she remembered that one time where she first saw him wear a T-shirt that said, 'T-Shirt'

She questioned it but Izuku acted like everyone was wearing it.

Plus this could be amusing to her, she knew Izuku isn't the one to show off what he wears but she would like to see him in different clothes, what he was wearing now was nice but it couldn't hurt to expand his outfits.

"Go ahead," she said.

Izuku looked at her in shock, "Huh? Wait hold on Raiden-"

"You heard the girl, now I have just the perfect outfit for you!" The store clerk had stars in her eyes as she practically forced him to wear some of the clothes that she offered.

Mei giggled at his reactions as she thought it was cute. Izuku on the other hand was red as a tomato.

After a complete hour of trying new outfits, he only bought one, it was a buttoned up long sleeve that he rolled up to his elbow and Grey pants. Mei said he looked really formal and it looked good on him which Izuku didn't hesitate to buy.

Izuku sighed, "That was a lot of outfits,"

Mei smiled at him, "Sorry, it seemed like a good idea,"

Izuku looked at her, she was smiling more than usual, I mean he only met her at night where they talked, so this was the first time they actually hung out in the afternoon.

And it seemed like she was enjoying it so mission accomplished for Izuku.

He then felt his stomach growl, as held his stomach. Mei noticed as she smiled, "Let's get something to eat shall we?"

Izuku nodded, "Yeah,"

Throughout the day, Izuku and Mei spend their day going to all kinds of shops that Mei was curious about. They then took a break at an arcade which they sat on a bench inside the arcade. They've been walking all day but then Mei found a intriguing shop as she went to the shop, telling Izuku to rest for a bit.

Izuku sat there as he saw a certain claw machine that had a small plush keychain, it was a small red dragon. Now that he thought about it, when he first met her, she had red horns but he didn't see it at all. He didn't want to ask her about it. But seeing the red dragon, kinda reminded him of her horns.

Izuku decided to get it for her, if she accepted it.

As Izuku walked over there, he slotted a coin in there, he had extra arcade coins that he had when he went with Dan. He looked at the one that was easier to get and noticed one that seemed easy to get. If he didn't get it the first time then he wouldn't push it since he watched Dan blow his paycheck on one of these for a figurine.

With Raiden Mei

She walked into the store as she was greeted with a Welcome. It was a jewelry store, it had all kinds of accessories. She saw a Homu bunny that was green. She examined others as well. Spending time with Izuku, she couldn't help but be reminded of her time back at St. Freya.

With Himeko, Fu Hua, Bronya, Kiana. She missed those days, but she couldn't think of that, there was so much going on, she didn't even know that she could ever return. She decided to return to Izuku as she walked out of the store and headed back to the arcade.

As she entered the arcade again, she heard a commotion by one fighting games but paid no mind to it as she headed to the bench where Izuku was supposed to be but he was nowhere to be found.

She looked around to see where he went but she couldn't spot him.

"Holy cow! That green head got some moves," she heard someone shout. She turned towards the commotion again as she saw a glimpse of green hair sitting at one of the arcades.

She walked towards the commotion as she saw Izuku sitting across from someone as he was focused on the game. Then she heard the other person groan in defeat as Izuku let go of the controls.

"Damn he's unbeatable! The kid hasn't lost a match since,"

"One more time, come on!" The other person said.

"I'm sorry but I really gotta get going," Izuku got up from the chair as he grabbed something off the arcade machine.

He was about to walk out of the crowd until he saw Mei watching him in the crowd.

Oh Raiden-san, you're back, sorry did I make you wait," he said.

She shook her head, "No your fine, I just got back,"

They walked out of the arcade, "You seem to be an expert in games like those," Mei said. Izuku just scratched his head.

"I think I'm just average," Izuku said.

"Seeing you play reminded me of another friend," Mei said.

Izuku looked at her, "Oh? Is she an expert?"

Mei thought about it, "I believe so, but I wouldn't really know,"

"Well I would love to play against them someday, oh by the way I got something for you," Izuku said.

Mei looked at him curiously as he brought out a small Keychain that had a red dragon on the end of the chain.

She looked at it in surprise, "A red dragon?"

Izuku nodded, "I wanted to thank you for you know saving me more than once,"

Mei looked at him as she smiled, "You didn't have to,"

Izuku scratched his cheek, "It's fine really, just think of it as a thank you gift,"

She accepted it as she held it, she looked at him as they continued to walk. She looked at the sky as the sun was setting.

"It's getting late, we should probably wrap up this tour," Izuku said.

Mei looked at him as she saw him pull out a small notebook.

"I know a place where we can get an amazing view of the city," Izuku said enthusiastically.

Mei giggled, "Okay, lets go then,"

As they walked over there it was unfortunately closed, the observation tower was closed due to maintenance issues with the elevator.

Izuku had his head low, "Sorry, I should have gotten more information ahead of time,"

Mei patted his back, "It's alright,"

She kind of felt bad as it seemed like Izuku was excited for this. She then thought of something as she then tapped Izuku on the shoulder.

"I have something in mind," Mei said.

Izuku looked at her in confusion as he wondered what she had in mind.

The next thing Izuku knew, he was soaring through the sky. On top of a dragon, Izuku was holding on to dear life as he had a sense of deja vu for some reason. It soared up into the sky.

"Hold on!" He heard Mei say as Izuku had his eyes shut.

"Izuku, you can open your eyes now,"

Izuku slowly opened them as he saw they were above the clouds as the sun was halfway down the horizon line. Izuku was astonished at the site before him as he looked down and saw the city below them.

"Woah…" He was starstruck as he didn't know what to say.

Mei was watching him as they stood on Kurikara. Izuku watched as they soared through the sky.

Izuku then looked at Mei and noticed the red horns on her. Mei noticed his gaze as she looked at him.

"Something the matter? Are you afraid of heights?" she asked.

"Huh no, it's just your horns, they were never there before," Izuku said.

"These only appear when I'm in this form," she answered.

Izuku's eyes glowed in awe, "Valkyries have different forms!"

He was now writing on an invisible notebook again. Mei giggled as she sat down, "You really love taking notes don't you,"

Izuku looked at his hand as he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Ah, it seems I can't get rid of this habit,"

Mei then patted a spot next to her, gesturing to him to sit next to her.

Izuku complied as he sat down, they both were silent as they could only hear the rushing wind blow past them as they soared through the sky. Izuku couldn't help but admire the view when he turned to Mei, she had a solemn expression. It reminded him of Kiana, how she had a sad expression but would hide it with a fake smile.

"Is something wrong Raiden-san?"

"It's nothing, really," she said.

Izuku wasn't satisfied with that answer, he knew something was up.

"You know, I'm willing to listen," he said.

Mei widened her eyes as she looked at him. She smiled a bit, "Are you using my own words against me Izuku,"

He laughed awkwardly, "I mean you listened to me when I was having a rough time, so why not I do the same,"

She smiled as she frowned and looked at him, "Izuku, has anything out of the ordinary happen to you,"

Izuku tilted his head in confusion, "Well I mean aside from getting attacked by Honkai, I don't think so,"

Mei looked at him, "Izuku, if anything happens, please give me a call okay,"

Izuku looked at her as he smiled, "I will,"

Izuku looked ahead as he watched the sun slowly go down, "Raiden-san?"

"Just call me Mei," Izuku widened his eyes as he looked at her.

He gulped as he looked away in embarrassment, "M-Mei-san?"

"Yes?"

"Have you ever tried to help someone but they only pushed you away," Izuku asked.

Mei widened her eyes as she instantly remembered Kiana. She had a solemn gaze, she nodded.

"Yes, and in order to help them, I will stop the danger first before it ever gets to her first," she said.

Izuku nodded, "I wanna help someone, especially you as well,"

Mei looked at him, "Help me?"

He nodded, "I can't help but feel like I should do something, I want to keep everyone safe, no not just that I want to save everyone, I want to protect everyone's smile, so that they can look forward to a bright future,"

Mei widened her eyes at his answer.

He looked up at the sky as the stars started to show. He put his hand in the air, "I want to reach out save people with smile on my face,"

Izuku lowered his hand as he looked at Mei, "I have these powers, I want to use them for good, I want to protect the smiles that everyone has, Faith's, Henry's, Dan's, Gabriel's, everyone in this world,"

Izuku smiled at Mei, "Yours included,"

Mei had a tinge of blush appear on her face as she heard that, her heart skipped a beat for just a second. She wanted to protect the people that she loved, whatever it takes. Izuku was supposed to be only someone that she had to observe but slowly, after talking to him, knowing his situation, his nature.

He was there too, someone that she wanted to protect as well. Izuku then realized what he said was very touchy in a certain confession.

"I mean that since everyone helped me and I just want to repay it back by helping them like you helped me and so did other people and you know not in that kind of way if you know what I mean, or err, you know just forget-"

"I want to protect your smile to Izuku,"

Izuku stopped as he looked at Mei in shock, "I feel the same, I want to protect the people I care about, you're apart of that to now Izuku,"

Izuku smiled as he put his fist towards her, "Then once I get a grasp of these powers, I'll be able to fight, I'll be able to fight alongside you,"

Mei didn't like the fact that he would be able to fight, she didn't want him to risk his life but she had a feeling she would never convince him of it.

"As much as I don't want you to fight against the Honkai, you aren't going to take no as an answer are you," she asked.

Izuku shook his head, "Every Valkyrie risks their life in order to protect others, so why shouldn't I do the same if I have the power to do so, I'm not backing down,"

Mei sighed as she fist bumped his fist, "Then, once you're ready, I'll have your back as well,"

Izuku determinedly smiled, "Right!"

Unknown Location

A low growl could be heard as red eyes opened, it was waiting to be released, ready to unleash havoc.

"Not yet, Prototype,"

The Nomu heard, "We have much to see, you'll be able to wreak havoc soon enough," a puppet was talking to it.

The Nomu's head was clouded with empty thoughts but all it heard was compiling words.

Capture One for All

Kill One for All

The Nomu started to become restless, as it then roared, echoing throughout the dimension, the Honkai Energy inside its body surged out.

With Izuku

Mei dropped him off at his apartment complex as she waved him goodbye. Izuku couldn't help but think about the entire interaction he had with Mei, it's seemed she was relaxed, which was a mission accomplishment for him.

Izuku then received a text as he looked at his phone to see the sender was Mei.

Raiden Mei: Thank you for today, I really enjoyed spending time with you, let's do this again

Izuku smiled in relief as he walked into his apartment with a gleeful smile.

The Next Morning

Henry threw a punch as Izuku blocked it as he then tried to counter with his punch but Henry grabbed his arm and flipped him over.

"Oof!"

Izuku laid there on the ground as Henry looked down at the boy, "You alright kiddo, ready to go again?"

Izuku got up again as he looked at Henry with determination, "Yes!"

Henry was shocked at the sudden enthusiasm but he didn't mind.

"Alright then, let's get going," Henry rushed at him.

Izuku took his stance as he watched Henry's movements. He remembered what he was taught by him.

Dominant hand in the back for strikes and Non-dominant hand for defense. His left hand out more as his right hand backed up.

Henry launched a kick at him as Izuku blocked it as he then grabbed his leg and pulled him towards him and was about to land a strike but Henry bent his knee, closing the distance and pushing himself off of Izuku, making the latter lose his grip on Henry.

The old man launched a punch as Izuku's faint memories started to spark up, he saw a familiar light purple haired woman. He widened his eyes as he ducked under his attack and he twirled his body and shoulder charged Henry which shocked him then he felt a powerful strike on his stomach.

Izuku did a palm strike that sent Henry back a few feet.

Izuku widened his eyes, "Henry! I'm sorry, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but where did you learn how to do that?" He asked.

Izuku looked at his hand, "I… don't know, it was just instinct,"

Izuku wondered, why did he see Fu Hua in his memories? He knew Fu Hua felt familiar, did he meet her in the past? Izuku then widened his eyes in realization, Fu Hua knew who he was.

"Hey kid!"

Izuku snapped out of his thoughts as he blocked a hit from Henry.

"We're still in session,"

"Right!" He responded as he got into his stance and charged at Henry.

After the spar

Izuku rubbed his face as he read a book about the Honkai and what kind of beasts they are and information about all of them. He sat at his desk as he wrote down information that he thought was noteworthy. But he stopped as he thought about what happened today.

He knew Fu Hua felt familiar and that she was someone he knew in the past. That means he needed to find her. He could always go to the Hyperion. He then lifted his head up as he remembered that Theresa gave him a card that was able to contact her.

Izuku thought about it, he really wondered if he should call. He remembered the last time he was with them, how Kiana pushed him away but it seemed it wasn't just him either. Izuku couldn't forget that look on her face, and the way she spoke to herself. It didn't seem right to him, he wanted to change it but he didn't know how to. All he could think of was to talk to her, if he could.

He looked at another book to his right, Faith handed him this book. "Herrschers,"

He grabbed the book as he examined it, he thoroughly read through the contents of the book, Herrschers, godlike beings that are capable of distorting and manipulating the very laws of the universe. And honkai beasts, categorized in different classes, Seraph being the weakest of the classes.

He got up from the table, stacking the books on top of each other as he grabbed his backpack. Henry noticed this from the couch.

"Going somewhere?" He asked.

Izuku turned, "Yeah just taking a break, I'll come back in the evening,"

"Alright, try not to get into trouble," he said.

Izuku just nodded, walking out of the house. It was starting to get cold, winter was approaching soon. He needed to find someone, the person who he believed could tell him who he was in the past.

Fu Hua held the answers that he needed to know but the question was, was she going to tell him? His memories were vague and faint, so in order to fully understand them, he needed to find her.

With Kiana

Kiana laid on her bed as she had an arm over eyes. She hadn't stopped thinking about what she did to Izuku, she didn't want him to be involved with her problems, they were her own. She needed to deal with it, but she did feel bad for giving him the cold shoulder.

"How can you tell me you're fine when you have so much sadness in your eyes!"

The words he said to her kept ringing inside of her head. It was the same as when she fought Mei, but it shouldn't concern them, because this was her mission. She had to…

"How can you tell me to forget it when it's hurting you this much!"

"If saving you is considered a sin, then I'll gladly be a sinner,"

She curled up as a tear started to form, "I'm fine…"

With Fu Hua

She stood on the beach where Izuku cleaned, she gazed at the ocean. Reminiscing in the distant past, she was consumed by hate that it had driven her students away from her. Years of being an immortal and seeing countless lives vanish before your eyes. Fu Hua had seen it all, it was then in that Era, where she met the green headed boy.

"Please, train me!"

"Why do you seek power, for revenge?

"No! To save everyone! To save her!"

She remembered the conviction and resolve he possessed but she also knew how self-sacrificing he was. Even to this day he still is.

The boy was strange to her but she had seen this type before. Always risking their lives for the sake of others. She had seen it all.

"Shishou! I did it!"

She sat on the sand as she continued to watch the sun slowly go down the horizon line.

"I failed…I couldn't do a thing! I'm just a-"

"Ms. Fu Hua!"

She widened her eyes as she turned to see Izuku breathing heavily, catching his breath, almost as if he ran all the way here. Fu Hua widened her eyes as she had a little smile on her face. She knew in fact that he did run all the way over here.

"Forthbright, how did you know I was here?"

"I…had to…call Ms. Apocalypse…in order to find you," he answered, panting heavily.

She saw the look in that boy's eyes, eyes that were looking for answers. The boy looked at her as he took a deep breath.

"Ms. Fu Hua, you know who I am don't you,"

Fu Hua only looked at him with a solemn gaze, she figured. "You saw me in one of your memories didn't you,"

Izuku nodded, "It was when I was sparring with Henry, I had faint memory of you but I couldn't tell what played out in it but I clearly saw you,"

Fu Hua nodded as she turned her head towards the ocean.

"Ms. Fu Hua, who am I?"

Izuku looked at her, hoping to find an answer, hoping to end this amnesia, these riddles inside his head. Finally figuring out why he was here, where did he get these powers.

Fu Hua patted her hand next to her, gesturing for him to sit next to her. He complied as he comfortably sat next to her.

"Forthbright, if I told you, what would you do then?"

Izuku looked at her, "I…"

That was a question that stumped him, what would happen if he found out who he was? What would he do then?

"Until you know what you would after you gain these memories, I cannot tell you,"

Izuku looked at her in shock, "Wait but-"

"Because if you do find out who you were, then the action you do after that could evidently harm you," she said.

Izuku stopped himself as he looked down at the sand. He wanted to know so badly but he also remembered what Mei said to him. But he waited for so long, how long was he going to wait?

Fu Hua got up as she dusted the sand off of her. "These memories will come," she looked at him, knowing what was going in his mind right now, just by looking at his eyes. Fu Hua was notified two days ago of the energy Izuku displayed, she had no doubt about it, he was slowly starting to awaken.

She was also aware of his and Kiana's interaction thanks to Bronya. She couldn't help but smile softly, at his nature. Even if he had forgotten, the most important aspect of himself that he never lost, was always trying to help others.

"In the meantime, enjoy the life you have now,"

Izuku looked at her, "Huh? What are you-"

"Class Monitor, there you are, Auntie wants us to-"

Izuku turned to see Kiana behind them as she froze when she saw him. The two stared at each other for a while as Fu Hua sighed.

"Izuku,"

He looked up at her, "Memories may be forgotten sometimes but your body, never forgets,"

She then walked to Kiana as she pushed Kian towards Izuku which shocked her a bit. She turned to her with a questioning look.

"And don't you have something to talk about with him," she said.

Kiana rubbed her arm as she looked at Izuku. She stayed silent for a bit, Fu Hua could only walk away, "I'll wait until you're done,"

She walked away, leaving Izuku and Kiana alone, it was silent, they could only hear the waves crashing onto the beach.

"So… what did you guys talk about," Kiana spoke up first.

"It was…a memory that I had,"

"What was it?" She asked as she approached Izuku.

"I saw her in a faint memory when I was sparring with someone, so that made me think that she knew who I was but she wouldn't tell me…" Izuku said.

Kiana could stay silent as she didn't know what to say, she was still thinking about how she gave him that cold shoulder before.

"How are you Kiana?"

She looked at him as she put on her usual smile, "I'm fine, just you know a lots going on and stuff,"

Izuku looked at her, knowing that look, "You can talk to me you know,"

"I wouldn't want to waste your time besides I-"

"Kiana,"

She stopped as she widened her eyes, Izuku had a determined look but also a solemn expression, "You've helped me a whole bunch, now I want to return the favor,"

Kiana looked at him as she lowered her head as she brought her knees to her chest. "I…just don't think I deserve it,"

Izuku frowned when she said that, after all she's done now, whatever she had done in the past, it was irrelevant now.

"But you do, Kiana, more than you know, and your friends know it too," Izuku said.

Kiana tightened her grip on her knees, curling and hiding her face even more. "Izuku…I don't-"

"The people that you saved think otherwise Kiana," he interrupted her as she looked at him.

"They didn't see a monster, they saw a person risking their life in order for the other to live, they saw a Valkyrie fighting for them," Izuku turned to her as he determinedly looked at her.

"And that's what I want people to look at me like that, someone that they can rely on,"

Kiana widened her eyes as she didn't say anything, she was in awe.

Izuku scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "It's kinda weird but I want to be like you all,"

"What do you mean like us?" Kiana asked.

"To save people, I want people to look at me and have no fear when they see me, just like when they look at Valkyries," Izuku explained.

"But my powers caused harm to others, the monster inside even…" Kiana couldn't forget it, how she was helpless to do anything that day.

"A quirk is not what makes a person special,"

Kiana widened her eyes as she looked at him, he had a different look on him. No it wasn't that, it was like someone else beside him was there. A man with spiked ginger hair and red eyes, he had a large scar across his nose.

"Your power means nothing without the person behind them,"

Kiana looked at him in shock, she didn't know what to say and what did he say?

"Quirks?"

Izuku shook his head as he rubbed his head, "Sorry, don't know what came over me but,"

He stood up as he dusted the sand off of him, "What I mean is you don't use your powers to hurt others now, your not a monster, your past doesn't define who you are, it's what you do now that makes you who you are,"

Kiana's eyes brightened up a bit as Izuku lend his hand out to her, "In my eyes Kiana, your not a monster, you're a Valkyrie who saves others, a Hero,"

Kiana's eyes teared up a bit as she smiled as she took his hand. She got up and looked at him.

"These powers caused harm to others but I want to make it right, I want to protect the people I care about, I want to use this power…" Kiana looked at him determinedly.

"To fight for all that is beautiful," she brightly smiled at him.

Izuku had a small blush on him as he returned the smile.

Kiana didn't know why but talking to Izuku eased her worries a little. She felt reassurance with his words, remembering her former teacher's last words, a story where she can decide what ending it has. The power she had caused harm in the beginning but talking with Izuku helped her realize it. That using this power that used to cause harm, she can use it to do good things.

"Thanks Izuku," she thanked him.

Izuku shook his head, "Hey now we're even, you've helped me a lot so it's only fair I returned the favor,"

They let go of each other's hand as Kiana stretched, "I should head back to the Hyperion, I'll see ya around?"

Izuku nodded, "I'll see ya around Kiana,"

She turned around, but Izuku started to have a headache as he saw something next to Kiana. It was…her? No, she wore something different from her. He saw black feathers and the girl right next to her turned her head as he saw piercing yellow eyes looking at him.

Izuku widened his eyes as a faint image of a girl with light purple hair appeared in his head.

Izuku shook his head as he blinked, only to see the girl gone as Kiana was already gone. Izuku wondered who was next to her.

Unknown Location

"Is it ready?"

"Yes,"

"Send it out, we eagerly wait for its result,"

Clanking could be heard echoing throughout the domain.

A loud screech could be heard echoing through as a bird-like man that was all white and had red lines glowing all around its body.

Red eyes flashed open as the honkai energy coursed through its veins, building up intensely.

One puppet laughed maniacally, "Let the hunt begin~"

World Serpent HQ

Kevin had his eyes closed, reminiscing in the past, being with the one he fell in love with. The distant past where he lived a normal life…before it all fell apart.

He stood up from his throne as he pulled up a hologram. The hologram was…Izuku, Kevin examined as he pulled up old files, info about someone.

"Izuku…humanity's Last Hope, during the Quirk Era, Izuku had disappeared after facing a Herrscher and a Horde of Honkai Beasts." Kevin read out loud.

He looked up, "Hero name: Deku but also gained another name in his Era,"

Kevin looked below under his hero name reading.

A week later

"Is it ready?"

"preparations all set,"

"Commence the plan, make sure our obstacles don't interfere,"

"we understand,"

Mei was walking as she looked at the paper she held, it was an address, leading to Henry's house. After Faith's promotion, Mei had wanted to know more about the ruined city, not too far from Hashbul.

Plus she also heard that Izuku was over there, so this was a good way to introduce herself.

"Going somewhere,"

Mei widened her eyes as she turned as a puppet grabbed her. She then was pushed into a portal as the paper flew out of her hand.

Another puppet was watching from above, "Now, commencing extraction,"

A portal appeared above the city as a red ball of energy came out of it as it started to radiate Honkai Energy.

With the Hyperion

Kiana, Bronya, Seele, and Fu Hua were gathered at the command room of the Hyperion, they detected an abnormality in the city.

"Theresa what is it,"

"I don't know, Tesla can you-"

"Hello~ Hyperion," a voice echoed out as Kiana looked around as a screen appeared in front of them. She recognized the person on the screen, a doll.

"I am the Herrscher of Dominance,"

Fu Hua widened her eyes as she knew what this type of enemy was. Back in the Previous Era, the Herrscher of Legion.

With Mei

She was shocked, she encountered the puppet but now she was in a domain that had rubble floating aimlessly in the air and surrounded by black and gold Honkai Beasts. She pulled out her blade as she stood ready.

"Why am I here," she asked.

She heard giggling all around her.

With the Hyperion

"You all have been trapped in the Legion Theatre," the puppet said.

They looked around then as they saw rubble floating around them, "When did this happen!" Tesla was shocked as they couldn't pinpoint where they were

"Don't be shocked, you all would've gotten in the way," the puppet said.

Kiana looked at the puppet as she was confused.

"What are you talking about,"

Mei glared at the puppet as it kept laughing.

"Didn't we tell you~?"

Mei and Kiana widened their eyes as they remembered the encounter on the roof.

"Izuku!"

"Hey look, what's that in the sky?" A person pointed out that a red comet was seen above the city.

At Henry's house, Izuku was checking his phone, wondering where Mei was, she said she would be here but he hasn't received a text from her.

"Hey Izuku, check this out," Henry called him as the boy walked in the living room to see the news talking about a red comet.

Izuku then felt a stabbing sensation on his head as it pulsated throughout his body, forcing his body to move towards Henry.

Then it happened in an instant as the red comet erupted into a massive explosion of Honkai Energy as it engulfed the city in a bright red light. Izuku instinctively rushed towards Henry as he shielded him as the shockwave of the blast blew away the house they stood in.

The screen showed the massive explosion as Kiana stared at the scene in horror. As the explosion died down something stood in the middle of the crater it created.

It moved as its muscles started to move and the monster stood up as it looked around. It roared into the sky, an ear piercing screech echoed through Hashbul.

Hashbul Valkyrie HQ

"Honaki Energy is through the roof! Send all Valkyries to the scene!"

"What's the status of that Honkai Beast! What class are we looking at!"

"Sir, the honkai energy is increasing rapidly, it's a Judgment Class Honkai Beast! But I've never seen this kind before!"

"A new honkai beast?! Impossible!"

Everyone was scrambling in the room as the director stared at the screen, "Send all the help we can get, send in the evacuation team on the double!"

"Yes sir!"

Izuku busted out of the rubble, "Henry are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but…the city," Henry looked in horror as the city was in complete ruin.

Izuku was worried, Dan and Faith were in the city. He then spotted a drone flying towards them.

"Please evacuate to the nearest shelter,"

Izuku felt his head go haywire as his vision honed in the center of the crater. A Honkai Beast stood there as a red aura surrounded it.

He felt this before but he didn't know what it was.

"Izuku let's head to the Evacuation center," Henry snapped him out of it.

"Right!"

Legion Theatre

"Is there a way out of here?" Kiana asked.

"I'm searching for every possible solution but it's hard with the energy in this domain scrambling our computers," Einstein said.

"Don't stop Einstein, Kiana, Bronya, Seele, Fu Hua, there has to be another way out, Einstein will scan the domain, you four look another way out, everyone in that city is in grave danger, we mustn't let that happen,"

"Right!"

Mei cut down the honkai beasts as more Imaginary Beast started to show up.

"You better hurry Raiden Mei, before my prototype kills him,"

Mei dashed through her enemies, cutting them down. Time was of the essence.

Kiana's team encountered multiple Honkai beasts that were being controlled by a black gold ball. Kiana got ready as they charged at them.

With Izuku

Explosions could be heard as Izuku and Henry followed the evacuation as many people were huddled together, a shelter zone was located behind a mountain by the city. He kept a lookout for others but he didn't find them.

"Ah! A zombie!"

Izuku turned as a zombie with blades was about to strike down a man. The guards were too slow and weren't going to make it but even if it was one week, Izuku had learned a lot from Henry.

Quickly rushing to aid, he pushed the man. Out of the way as he dodged the blade as he rotated his body, swinging his arm across the zombie's face. Sending it flying on the ground. As it tried to get up, the guards shot it down.

"Everyone quickly, to the evac shelter!"

"Izuku thank you," the man thanked him as Izuku turned to see Gabriel.

"Gabriel, you're okay,"

"Hey don't forget me!"

Izuku turned to see Dan behind him. Izuku let out a sigh of relief. Izuku still looked around, "Have you guys seen Faith?"

They both shook their heads, "She must be helping with the Evacuation, those poor people that were in the blast,"

Izuku looked towards the city, "Faith…"

With Faith

It had only been a day since she was promoted to A Rank… but this was. A living nightmare. She had a broken arm as her comrades were on the ground, some were dead, others were knocked out. All she could do was stare at the monstrosity before her.

She coughed up blood as she looked at the beast, every fiber of hope leaving her.

The Honkai Beast was nothing like anything she had seen, it was almost like a man was combined with a honkai beast. The scars on its body glowed red as Honkai energy leaked out its eyes.

"There…is no way…we can beat this thing…" she gasped for air.

The beast approached her slowly.

"Only S-ranks…are capable of beating…this thing…"

The beast roared in the sky as clouds started to form above the ruined city.

A lone puppet floated above the city as it giggled, "Where are you~? Enemy of the Honkai~"
