An: I said everything last chapter.


Chapter 2:

"How do we turn this thing on?" Mina said as she looked around the screen, the flat piece of light floating completely in the air with no signs of cables or controls.

"Why does it matter, it's just shitty Deku!" Bakugou growled as he turned his head away, making sure to keep the screen in view out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh, come on, Bakubro, it's not like there's anything else to do!" Kirishima grinned as he wrapped his arm around the ashy blond "Besides, how often do you get to see alternate versions of your friends! Maybe there'll even be a version you'll like!"

"As if I'd like anything about Deku!" Katsuki growled before turning a glare to the pink haired girl "This is all your fault, pink hair!"

"Maybe its voice controlled?" Mei said ignoring the temperamental boy as Ashido ran back to the group.

"Hey! Play universe thing!" Toru yelled, her invisible hands cupping around her mouth.

"Hagakure, I don't think that's how it works…" Yaoyorozu sighed, only for the static to disappear and be replaced by white lettering on a black screen.

'Realm display function engaged, prepare universe DC11515CTE-IM-VS-IM. Visual loading… Audio loading…' appeared on the screen, drawing everyone's attention

"See, Yaomomo, sometimes yelling does solve your problems!" the invisible girl giggled as she pats the taller girl on the back, the class's vice-president dropping her head in defeat when the message displayed.

"They've been spending too much time with you…" Aizawa sighed, sending a quick glance at the chuckling Present Mic.

"It's starting!" Mina exclaimed as the screen began to display images began to display.


"Welcome to Earth Prime." A deep, yet familiar voice said from behind a man dressed in a dark, bat themed outfit, prompting him to turn around and look at a similar man dressed in an owl themed uniform "Before there was thought, there was this place. One Earth, with one history, but with the coming of man, came the illusion of free will. With that illusion came chaos. With every choice we make, we literally make a world, history branches in two. Creating one Earth, where we made the choice, and a second where we didn't."

"That's the secret of the universe you know?" the Owlman continue, pressing the screen connected to a large device "Billions of people, making billions of choices, creating infinite Earths; every choice, every cell evolving in a unique way, making a new world."

The screen closed in on Batman's eyes before zooming in on a strange device on the Owlman's hip while he continued "Some so similar you could spend a lifetime searching for any distinction and some so radically different that defy comprehension."

"And all the branches originate here." Batman said as he began to circle his opponent, gesturing to the barren wasteland around them, a yellow, shifting portal open not far off.

"Every version of reality balances vicariously on this singular Earth." The silver suited man confirmed, typing on the screen once more.


"So that's the original Earth?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"What happened to it?" Jirou wondered, watching the screen in awe.

"But, which one is Deku?" Uraraka asked, wondering why both covered their faces.

"I think they both are." Todoroki assumed, gaining a few weird looks "We're already dealing with multiple version and their voices sound very similar."

"How did they even get there?" Iida questioned, the world showed no signs of life.

"Probably through that weird gate thing." Sero said while pointing to the screen.

"They probably used that weird device." Kaminari grinned.

"How they got there isn't important." Aizawa announced earning looks of curiosity "What is important is why they are there, and what that machines does?"


"It seems so different from the earth we know…" Owlman calmly said "I can't imagine what series of decisions lead to this Earth hurtling out of its orbit."

"But, I know this, the source of the cataclysm was the same as it always is…" the silver man said as he finished typing and faced the dark suited man "man."

"You can't be sure of that!" Batman argued, glaring up at his opposite "Anything-"

"You know better." Owlman interjected "Man is a cancer and I've chosen to cut out the disease."

"You're talking about killing-" the dark knight began, only to be cut off again.

"Everyone who ever lived, ever will live." The silver man stated, pressing the screen once more, causing the screen to display an 'Abort' message.


"I guess we know who the bad guy is…" Kaminari chuckled sheepishly, a few glares shot into his direction from horrified students.

"'Killing everyone'?" Mina shuddered in fear "Why would anyone want to do that…"

"Some people just want to watch the world burn…" Midnight sighed, already seeing the effect on her students.

"But, Deku would never-" Uraraka tried to explain, tears swimming in her eyes.

"That isn't Deku, Round Face." Bakugou growled, ending the girl's argument.

"Now we know why they are there…" Shota said calmly, red eyes glaring at the silver man "If that really is the original Earth, then that machine must be some kind of bomb and when it goes off…"

"All Earths will most likely be destroyed…" Nezu finished in a solemn tone, lowering his head in a silent prayer.


"I chose to make the only possible, real choice." Owlman smiled as the machine activate, the noise of electronics powering up rang through the air as lights blinked to life.

"You're insane." Batman stated, crouching down into a combat position.

"Does it really matter? There are alternate versions of me you'd find quite charming." The silver dressed man said as he walked down the stairs. The darker dressed of the two through a set of black orbs at his opponent; the balls bursting into a thick cloud of smoke covered the area. Batman rushed through the smoke and attempted to punch the other man, only for Owlman to grab his fist and shoulder and throw him overhead. Landing higher on the stairs, Batman charged back down attempting an attack once again, only to be dodged and blocked before he was grabbed by the throat and thrown away.

Landing with a small flip, Batman immediately tried to throw three, bat shaped shuriken at Owlman, only for the silver man to swat them away with a flick of his cloak. Owlman went on the offensive, landing a brutal series of blows on his opponent, each strike forcing Batman back, before finishing his combo by stepping onto the dark knight's chest and flip kicking him into the air, sending the bat themed man into a large, stone pillar.


"That's not good…" Kaminari groaned as he watched the one-sided combat.

"You think?!" Mineta screeched, realizing his life was on the line if the bomb were to go off.

"C'mon, Deku, stop being a pussy, get up and kick his bird themed ass!" Katsuki roared his blood pumping as he watched the fight.


"From what I gather, we're very much alike." Owlman said calmly as he approached his opponent, whom was struggling to get back up "Everything about you tells the tale: your attitude, your costume, and your tactics. They all scream of outrage, despair, vengeance."

"What terrible wrong was done to you to set you on this path?" the silver clad man asked before reaching down and grabbing Batman's throat, lifting him into the air and slamming him into the pillar "It doesn't really matter… Nothing matters…"

"What are you going to do?" Batman choked as he struggled to breathe "Talk me to death?"

"Actually…" the villain smiled before letting go of his victims throat and proceeding to punch him across the face before upper cutting him away "I thought I'd beat you to death."

Owlman leapt into the air, aiming to land where Batman was as the dark knight jumped out of the way, leaping up the pillar as his opponent crashed into where he had fallen, and sending chunks of rock shooting outwards. Landing behind the bird themed man, the bat themed hero wasted no time in wrapping his arm around Owlman's throat and bringing a small spray can up to his mouth. Owlman smiled as a shield of glass came down, blocking the gas before he grabbed his enemies hand and elbowed him in the stomach, tossing him over his shoulder and into the ground and throwing him away.

Batman jumped back to his feet as Owlman aimed his wrist at him, firing four gray disks that the hero flipped away from as they exploded on impact. The force of the blast sent the dark knight into the air, where he fired of a grappling hook at the silver clad man, only for Owlman to drop his own smoke bomb and cause it to miss. Back onto the offensive, the villain ran out of the smoke and delivered a powerful blow to Batman's stomach, following up with more heavy hits before punching the hero clean through a rock.


"I don't get it, why isn't Bat-doriya using his quirk?!" Mina asked, clenching her fist as she watched an adult version of her friend get beaten down.

"This is an alternate version; he may not have that quirk and judging by how many gadgets he's been using, he may not have any powers at all." Momo answered, biting her lip as the bat themed man was clearly out matched.

"Is no one going to comment on 'Bat-doriya'?" Sero asked only to be ignored.


"You should have sent your flying man, with his strength he might have had a chance, but you don't trust anyone else to do what needs to be done!" Owlman said harshly as he picked Batman up once again and removed the same device from earlier off of his hip and tossed it aside, ignoring the near desperate reach for it from his opponent "Ha, I feel the same way."

"If we're really a like… you know this is wrong… you must have been a good man once…" Batman pleaded, attempting to talk sense into his opponent.

"No, not good… never good…" Owlman replied as he lifted his fist "After all… I'm only human!"

Owlman delivered two heavy hits into Batman before the dark knight placed his hand over his face, pulling it back to reveal a bat shaped device stuck to the silver helmet. The small machine beeped quickly before exploding, knocking Batman away before he quickly began to run for the bomb.


"Hell yeah! Take that, you jackass!" Bakugou cheered, sparks shooting from his hands.

"Bakugou! Watch your language there are still children present!" Iida chastised as he chopped his arm in the bond's direction.

"Come on, bro, now really not the time." Kirishima laughed, he was happy like his friends but still nervous about the bomb.


Owlman emerged from the smoke as Batman began tapping the screen, scrolling through even more versions of Earth before the silver suited man placed him into a headlock, growling "No more debate, I am going to kill you now, then everyone else!"

Batman looked up at the bomb as another light turned on and groaned "There is a difference between you and me…"

Stepping off of the device the hero flipped out of the hold and over the villain before kicking him into the bomb and throwing a bola, tying him to the machine "We both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us, you blinked…"

Batman pulled out the handheld device from earlier, shocking Owlman as he looked down at his own hip to find it gone, and pressed a single button on it. The end of the device split into three parts as purple lightning danced between the segments and the dark Knight tossed it back to the silver villain. The bomb churned with power as it and Owlman began to glow with a purple hue before, just as the silver dressed man broke his restraints and lunged forward, they disappeared.


"Hell yeah!" the class cheered, jumping in celebration, sans Bakugou.

"He did it!" Toru cheered as she hugged Mina, the cheeks squishing together.

"Indeed, without the bomb being on that Earth, I doubt it will have its intended effect!" Nezu confirmed as he hopped onto Erasure Head's shoulder.

"His goal never was to defeat his opponent in combat, but to get that teleporter from him and move the bomb." Aizawa said in a bored, yet impressed, tone.

"But he had his own, why didn't he use that?" Tsuyu asked, lifting a finger to poke her mouth.

"Maybe his didn't work and that's why there's that yellow portal…" Rikido Sato said, rubbing his own chin.


The bomb reappeared on a barren, ice planet as Owlman finished his lunge. The machine noisily powered up behind the villain as he glanced around before the final light lit up on the machine, 'Abort' blinking one the screen, drawing the silver clad man's attention.

"It doesn't matter…" Owlman stated as the bomb glowed a bright light. The machine detonated in a monstrous explosion that quickly consumed the ice planet before the screen switch back to static.


Silence reigned through the room as everyone stared at the static screen in shock, the celebration cut short by the final images displayed on the monitor.

"Why… didn't he…" Yaoyorozu gasped with wide, confused eyes.

"It's best not to wonder." Shota stated, closing his eyes as he contemplated the events.

"…" for a time, no one said anything, everyone trying to grasp the idea of an Izuku that cared so little for life, even his own.

"Let's watch another!" Mina, Denki and Eijiro exclaimed in unison, eager to see other possibilities.
