Izuku blinks as he floats in a familiar void, looking around. He can't help but be confused about why he is in this familiar void once more. As he looks around, he doesn't know if it's just him but the words around him seem to be brighter. It wasn't that noticeable, but he could at least see shades of gray around the void.

"Ini aneh sekali…(This is so weird…)" Izuku mutters before he froze to hear a familiar glitching noise from the back. He turns around and sees some part of the area seems to look like a glitching computer screen. Izuku can't help but be unnerved by it as the glitch starts to separate itself and shows a shadow from the other side with a pair of glowing golden eyes, staring right through his soul.

"…siapa…lu?(Who….are you…?)" Izuku says with narrowed eyes, holding himself from showing his annoyance. "Lu….muncul lagi ketika gua di sini…..kasih tau gua, lu siapa? Lu mau apa? (You…. appear once more when I am here….tell me, who are you? What do you want?)"

Izuku watches as the shadow continues to stare at him, not uttering a single word. This starts to annoy Izuku, causing him to grit his teeth at the lack of response. Finally, the figure speaks.

"U$*….S!89vl6r/;…" The shadow speaks.

"H-Huh!?" Izuku looks confused as the glitches start to close the hole. "T-tunggu!(W-wait!)"

OFA

"TUNGGU!!! (WAIT!!!)" Izuku shouts as he gets up, frantically letting out a heavy breath as he clutches his chest, wondering what he just saw.

"Midoriya?" Izuku turned his head and saw En look at him in concern. "Is…everything okay?"

"… Yeah," Izuku let out a tired sigh as he slumped down on one of the thrones while En sat next to him. "That dream happens again…"

"The one you saw a mysterious figure? Who says he's your friend?" En asks as Izuku nods while pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I….am annoyed, frustrated, pissed. All I got is vague messages and there's nothing I could do about it!" Izuku shouts in annoyance.

"I think you shouldn't think too much about it. Perhaps over time, it'll make much more sense…" En says as Izuku sighs.

"Maybe…" Izuku mutters before looking around to see that besides En, the rest of the Vestiges are resting. This made Izuku blink in confusion as he didn't expect them to sleep at all.

"Before you ask, yes we all sleeping. No, you didn't wake me up. And no, I have no idea why we vestiges require sleeping despite doing nothing." En replies before looking at Izuku. "How are you feeling? About last night?"

"Mhm…" Izuku says solemnly. "I….feel like many weights lift off my shoulders….It….it's weird, but…I feel…calmer…"

"With how you act earlier, I am dubious about it," En says as Izuku huffs in laughter.

"Oh, screw you, old man," Izuku says as En's eyes twitch before looking away.

"I'm not that old," En grumbles as Izuku chuckles at his reaction. "Anyways, I'm glad that you're okay. We…are unsure how to help other than lending an ear,"

"You guys did a lot already," Izuku says with a sigh.

"We could've done more…" En states.

"Well, it's better than nothing…." Izuku says before he looks up into the sky before he blinks. "Um…is it just me, or does the sky seem brighter?"

"Wait, what?" En says while rubbing his head and looking up, and sure enough, the sky seems to be brighter. At the center, there seems to be a star glowing brighter than usual. "We've… been here for a while and I never noticed it…"

"Any idea why?" Izuku asks curiously.

"Vestige realm is….still a huge mystery for all of us, Midoriya," En says as Izuku sighs, knowing he asks the wrong person about it.

"Well, I think it's not any sign of harm since I am fine," Izuku says before looking up. "… Well, physically, at least."

"Please, don't make jokes about it…" En says in a worried tone.

"Sorry, sorry…" Izuku winces before his body starts to fade away. "I guess I'm waking up now. See you later, En."

"Yeah, and take care."

Izuku's Room, Midoriya Household

Musutafu, Japan

Izuku opens his eyes as he covers his mouth, trying to stifle his groan before he wipes off his eyes. He turns his head to his side to see Hackmon sleeping beside him. Izuku can't help but want to squeal before he silently pulls Hackmon closer and hugs him. To his surprise, Hackmon didn't seem to mind as he nuzzled Izuku's chest.

'Gosh, he's so cute…' Izuku muses before he silently grabs his phone-turned-Digivice, and notices that he receives notifications from others. He first looks at the messages given by Gran.

[Old Geezer]

There won't be training today. You got your ass beaten badly and you need rest!

Izuku's eyes twitch as he reads the message before he simply agrees with it, choosing to rest. Besides, thanks to Gran, he got more time snuggling with Hackmon. People who see what he's doing will probably mock him for being childish, but given how his old life was, he has every right to do so.

Back in his past life, he was always denied to buy something he thought its adorable due to his parents refusing to let him be too 'girly' when he became a teenager. Don't get Izuku wrong, he loves his old parents, but he was a bit miffed about it. It didn't help that his sisters were allowed to buy them until it was too much and their parents were forced to stop buying more.

Well, Izuku shouldn't complain much about it since they didn't say anything regarding Pokemon, Digimon, and maybe Labubu from the Popmart's The Monster. He shakes off his thought before he decides to look at the group chat.

It's too early.

[Invisigirl]

Izuku couldn't help but silently snort at the chat before he decided to respond.

[Fuck Predetermined Fate]

[Invisigirl]

[Lady Economy]

I'm afraid I'll miss some important news if I do.

[The Rock]

This is a friend group chat, not a class group chat.

don't worry about it.

Izuku puts away his phone before looking at Hackmon and continues to nuzzle his chest. Izuku feels the warmth from the dragon-like creature as Izuku remains hugging his partner. They remain in that position until Hackmon suddenly jerks up and notices his current position.

"Good morning, Hackmon," Izuku says as Hackmon looks slightly flustered.

"Umm, s-sorry…" Hackmon mutters. He may display affection, but he never gets to the point that he does it subconsciously. Izuku lightly chuckles as he pats his head.

"It's okay, Hackmon," Izuku says as he gets up, sitting next to his partner. "Hope you got a good night's rest."

"I did…" Hackmon says as he looks at Izuku. "H-hey…Izuku?"

"Yeah?" Izuku asks as he tilts his head.

"….can I talk….about the other Izuku?" Hackmon asks.

"Are you sure? Because I know it's not an easy topic." Izuku says.

"Y-you're able to gather your courage and share the pain of your heart, a pain that is much greater than mine…" Hackmon says while looking down. "I….I am willing to talk about it…." Hackmon yelps as Izuku flicks his finger at his forehead. "W-what was that for!?"

"Don't compare people's pain, that's not something you should do," Izuku says sternly, a hint of grimace visible on his face. "And I would rather if you talk when you're ready, not because you inspire me to do the same by watching me."

"…" Hackmon lowers his ears as he listens.

"….there is no time limit for grief. Take your time…don't rush about it." Izuku says gently. "It….takes me a while...to finally gather my courage to tell anyone about it…"

"…." Hackmon takes a few deep breaths before looking at Izuku. "I….I'm ready…"

"You're sure?" Izuku asks as Hackmon nods rapidly.

"I…my Izuku….he was a hopeful kid….he always wanted to be a hero, his kindness knows no boundary….even towards the person who bullied him," Hackmon says before taking a deep breath. "H-he always believe…Bakugou is his friend w-when it was otherwise….h-he sees him as a friend….t-to the point he believes every single word he said."

"…." Izuku could only listen before gently holding Hackmon's front paw to comfort him.

"I….I always wanted to meet him, you know…? I…I want to talk about heroes with him so badly…..I want to be there to comfort him….I-I want to be there by his side….t-to protect him from that scum called Bakugou…" Hackmon growls at the name. "B-but…..my mentor….Gankoomon, he always told me i-it isn't the time, s-saying I need more training…..t-to make it worse….I…believe him….E-everyday, I told myself t-to be patient…..t-to continue with my training…t-to wait….f-for the right time….."

Hackmon starts to shake violently as Izuku gets worried before gently petting his head, slowly calming the Digimon down.

"T-thank you…" Hackmon says with a heavy breath.

"Easy….don't force yourself…" Izuku says.

"I-I know….b-but I-I want to…." Hackmon says as Izuku nods slightly. "…I…I wait….for 10 human years…all I could do was to…watch….enduring the ache in my chest growing as my Izuku got beaten up…..i-it was until B-Bakugou…..h-he suicide baited him….he, he jumps…..from the school's roof…"

With that, like a dam burst open, Hackmon starts to cry as Izuku gently pulls him into a hug. Hackmon cries as he clutches on Izuku. Izuku grimaces at the entire story, unable to stop thinking of how fate can be cruel.

"I…..I was devastated….I-I lash out at Gankoomon, I-I lash out at the Sistermons…..I-I run away….avoiding them….u-until I meet you…." Hackmon sniffs. "I….I'm the worst, aren't I…?"

"No….don't blame yourself about it…" Izuku says.

"H-how can I? I…I did nothing….I-I listen to Gankoomon….m-my mentor, s-someone I use to respect….a-and it…" Hackmon was unable to finish his sentence and started to shake violently. Izuku keeps hugging him, soothing him as he starts to calm down.

"Going by that logic, then so am I." Izuku says as Hackmon looks at Izuku in shock. "I….did nothing to improve myself before I meet All Might….I did nothing to help Bakugou from growing a big head, believing the teacher would do something about it….. Teachers are supposed to be someone who taught us…."

"…." Hackmon remains silent.

"But….I decided that I was going to do something about it….I improve myself to be a better version of myself…" Izuku says before letting out a sigh. "Sorry…I wasn't very good at pep talk…"

"I-it's fine….t-thanks..." Hackmon says softly as Izuku smiles, wiping off Hackmon's tears as Hackmon holds Izuku's hands on his cheek with his front paw. "I mean it…y-you choose to help….despite having your own problem…"

"It's another reason why I choose to help…" Izuku says. "I…didn't want others to gone through such things…."

"…you are a great hero, Izuku…" Hackmon mutters as Izuku gently rubs his cheek.

"….I don't think I am…" Izuku says quietly before picking him up and opening the door, only to blink as his mom revealed to be outside of the door, crying waterfalls.

"I-I'm sorry!" Inko exclaims as she wipes off her tears. "I…didn't mean to eavesdrop, I-I was going to call you guys about breakfast."

"I-It's okay, Midoriya-san," Hackmon says hastily.

"N—no, it's not," Inko exclaims before pulling both boys into a hug. "I'm sorry you two have gone through so much…" Both of them stay silent before returning the hug. They remain like that for a moment before letting go.

After Izuku takes a shower and changes into his uniform, he, his mom, and Hackmon have breakfast together. Inko listens as Izuku and Hackmon tell her about everything. Izuku tells how he used to have two sisters in his house and how the three of them always acted like a dysfunctional family, much to their parents' exasperations, and how the three of them love to go outside the country for vacations together as a family and any other stuff, some of them baffled and horrified Inko.

Hackmon tells his story when he was in a Digital World, a world that exists parallel to Earth and is linked intimately to human telecommunication networks, where his idol, the Royal Knights reside and protects the world. He told them he wanted to be one of them and was trained by one of the Royal Knights. Inko can't help finding Hackmon's situation similar to Izuku's and giggles about it before Inko starts to tell Hackmon about Izuku's past, flustering the poor boy.

It was a heartwarming moment as the three of them bonded. Izuku and Inko feel like mother and son once more after everything that has happened to Izuku for the past 10 years and keeping everything to himself, unintentionally creates a rift between them. Now, they get much closer than before. As for Hackmon, he feels like getting unofficially adopted by Inko and Izuku.

"All right, I think you two should get going now," Inko says with a smile before patting their back. "We don't want you two to be late, now do we?"

"Yeah," Izuku agrees as he grabs his bag and Hackmon hops onto Izuku's backpack.

"Boys?" Both look at Inko who smiles at them. "Take care of each other." The duo grins widely.

"Of course!" They say in unison before taking their leave. As they walk downstairs, they blink owlishly as they see someone they do not expect at all.

"Eijirou!?"

Meanwhile

UA High

Hanzo is very conflicted, unsure of what he's supposed to do as the future he knows continues to be in complete shambles. Everything that he knows about the future has changed beyond his prediction and knowledge, and right now, he is unsure how to react.

He always makes sure he tries to make changes as subtle as possible, but for some reason, it always fails miserably as a wave in the form of Izuku Midoriya continues to crash onto him. He has no idea how it happens, but for some reason, Izuku Midoriya creates so much impact that he isn't sure that his actions at the early part of canon have to do with it, especially since the entire 10 years, he has been living in Naruhata.

Speaking of Naruhata, he can't help but wonder how are the vigilantes in that area currently doing. Ever since they stopped Number 6's rampage, they have split up and doing their own thing. Hanzo, who was once part of the vigilante, decided to stop and choose to be a hero in a legal way. He is somewhat baffled at how no one connects the dots, but he didn't plan to look a gift horse in the mouth. Hanzo perks up when he sees Harumi and he can't help but to scowl at the girl.

He has no idea who is she, he always draws up blank whenever he tries to figure out who she is so he decides to pay attention to her in case she's a possible villain. And for some reason, she has an unhealthy obsession with Todoroki and an irrational hatred towards Midoriya. Her obsession reminds him of the unhinged MHA fandoms he encountered in his past life in the dark section of social media. Her hatred reminds him of Bakugou and the same MHA fandoms that it's unnerving.

Speaking of villains, he also observed Aoyama, and to the boy's surprise, Aoyama seems to be anxious, and he always constantly observes Izuku ever since he revealed he was quirkless. Did he believe Izuku is also another spy planted by AFO and given a quirk? It is entertainingly wrong, but given what the spy knows, that's the only conclusion he could've made.

And then, another thing that changes so much is the appearance of Hackmon. Like, where did he come from? Since when Midoriya's a Digi-destined? And why did he appear!? So many questions but little to no answers. And at the same time, he can't help but be slightly jealous of him getting a Digimon Partner. He wants one as well.

Harumi notices Hanzo staring at her and can't help but let out a silent huff. She can't help but wonder what is the boy's problem. She has done nothing to him but for some reason, he continues to observe her and scowls at her like she did something wrong.

Speaking of wrong, there are so many wrongs in the current story. Somehow, the 'Deku' breaks his one-sided friendship with Bakugou. That wasn't supposed to happen, that never happened in the story. Only at the 'trashy fanfics' that people somehow like and diss her 'fanfic masterpiece'.

Then, without any reason, Hackmon comes into the equation and he's Izuku's Digimon Partner. Like, how could this be fair? The main character was supposed to get everything and yet, 'Deku' was the one who got them all? She wants her own Digimon partner!

And there's Gran Torino. Like why did he suddenly appear and become UA's teacher!? And when did Deku meet him!? Is that why he's able to excel in everything and even beat Bakugou?! There is so much information she's missing and she hates how nothing is matching her 'meta-knowledge'.

Izuku walks into the class and blinks when he sees two of the unknown people completely deep in thought, distracted by themselves. He always wonders who they are, and he has suspicions that this Hanzo is secretly the other vigilante of Naruhata given the age, the quirk, and his experience during the battle trial. That level of stealth isn't just from training, but from experiences as well. And his lone-wolf attitude during the trial does somewhat make sense, in some way.

Speaking of them, another mysterious person had made their appearance yesterday. Kenshi Takechi. A completely unknown character like Hanzo and Harumi. Izuku doesn't know anymore how to deal with them, so he decides to just accept that the world has changed by the Butterfly and there's nothing he can do about it. Well, other than finding the source or culprits that start the changes before he regains his memories. He needs to make sure if the changes are natural or manmade or he won't be able to relax.

"Izuku?" Izuku turns around to see Hackmon poking his head. "You're okay?"

"…just thinking, Hackmon. No need to worry about it." Izuku says with a smile before scratching his chin, making him purr.

"M-Midori-bro!" Izuku turns to see Eijirou arrive, leaning on the side of the door as he looks exhausted. "W-why…why did you leave me!?"

"Eijirou…" Izuku let out a sigh. "I….am still questioning how in the goddamn world did you miss the bus stop again, and somehow got your goddamn ass in the front of my apartment!"

"I said I was sorry!"

"I don't need apologies, I need answers! How did you get yourself 4 kilometers away from the bus station, where it's located near the exit of a train station!" Izuku exclaims in sheer disbelief. "And don't accuse me of leaving you! I made sure to hold your hand like a goddamn couple so you won't lose, yet you somehow separated from my hand and lost again! 3 times, 3 motherfucking times!"

"I don't know!" Eijirou exclaims as he comically tears up.

"What's going on?" Izuku looks to see Yaomomo looking at Eijirou with a sweatdrop before she looks at Izuku. Izuku sighs before he decided to explain everything. As Yaomomo listens, her expression changes from confusion to incredulous.

"B-but how?! That defies the law of the universe! How did he get so lost?!" Yaomomo exclaims.

"That is the 100 million yen question, Yaomomo-san," Izuku says with a sweatdrop before looking at Eijirou.

"I don't know!" Eijirou exclaims as he cries comically. The president and vice-president duo look at each other.

"…..each one of us take turns to keep an eye on him to not let him get lost?" Izuku suggests. Yaomomo creates a tracker shaped like a watch with her quirk and puts it on Eijirou's wrist. "… And you're wondering why I chose you to be the class president."

"Being the class president requires more than problem-solving skills, Midoriya-san," Yaomomo says.

"That's another proof that I'm one of the least deserved people to take the role," Izuku argues as Yaomomo simply gives him a blank stare. "…oh, come on! Why are you so insisting that I take it?"

"I was unable to do a single thing when everyone was evacuated and people got injured," Yaomomo explains as Izuku froze, not expecting her to give a proper answer. "Yet, you managed to solve the issue without any issues."

"I…..do have issues," Izuku says while scratching his cheek.

"You took charge when everyone was too busy saving their own." Yaomomo points out. "I think that is enough to show you're a great choice."

"…." Izuku slumps down in defeat before he notices everyone is now going back to their seats and he follows suit. Then, Aizawa walks into the classroom with a nonchalant expression.

"Good, now you all learning," Aizawa says as he looks at everyone. "Today, we're going for something different for the Hero Foundation course. There will be me, All Might, and another teacher who will be teaching for this particular lesson." From his pocket, he pulls out a card with 'Rescue' written on it and shows it to everyone.

"We're going to learn about Rescue," Everyone immediately cheered but was stopped by Aizawa glaring at them with his quirk activated. "For this lesson, you can choose to either wear your hero costumes or your gym uniform, I don't care. Now, get changed and meet me at the bus stop at the back of the building." With that, he leaves the class as everyone immediately rushes towards their suitcases and rush towards the changing room.

After changing to their uniforms, they arrived at the bus stop Aizawa mentioned. Iida suggests to Izuku that he should line everyone up based on their student I.D., but Izuku says it's a completely different bus and he welcomes to check if he doesn't believe him. Sure enough, Iida slumps down in defeat, muttering about 'failing to assist the class president' and whatnot, much to Yaomomo's displeasure as she's the vice president.

Currently, Izuku can be seen sitting between Eijirou and Ochako, something that Tsuyu won't stop teasing him about. Tsuyu sits between Yaoyorozu and Ochako while Iida sits between Eijirou and Koda. Hagakure sits across them next to Mina and Kyoka with Kaminari, Sero, Ojiro, and Hanzo next to them. Aoyama can be seen nervously sitting near Todoroki and Bakugou with Tokoyami in front of him. On Tokoyami's side, Harumi and Shoji sit next to him. Izuku let out a sigh as he looked at the new upgrades he got himself. His knuckles are now armored like his boots, he now has a new shirt to replace his destroyed one, some smoke bombs on his utility belt, and a multi-tool.

He won't know if he'll ever use it, but he asks one just in case.

"Hey, Midori," Izuku perks up to see Mina looking at him. "So, can I ask what exactly is your quirk? Is it just super strength or is it something else?"

"Um, it's an emitter-type quirk that allows my body to stockpile energy and release it. I…need a peak physical body to use it or else I'll just shatter my bones to dust, or worse, blow my limbs off." Izuku says as everyone grimaces at the gruesome mental image. Izuku realizes what he just did, and gives them a sheepish look. "Sorry,"

"A-ah, don't be," Mina says, her smile looks strained. "A-anyway, so what's this rumor about you liking either Uraraka or my old classmate Kiri?"

'Hagakure!!!' Izuku exclaims mentally, blushing like crazy. The two students mentioned didn't fare any better as they blush as well. Then, he hears the vestiges laugh in his head as well. 'Traitor!'

"Oooh, I really need to hear more details," Mina says with a sly smirk as Izuku gulps. Thankfully, the bus was fast enough to arrive at USJ and save Izuku from a terrible fate. As they walked out, they saw a huge dome building with a 'USJ' sign on it.

Then, instantly, Izuku's mind clicks as he widens his eyes. He can't believe he forgot the most important day ever and immediately pulls out his Digi-Vice to contact All Might. Immediately, the message was sent and Izuku felt slightly relieved.

"AAH!" Izuku was startled when he felt someone holding his shoulder and shaking violently. Izuku looks to see Ochako fangirling towards someone, a particular hero who wears an astronaut suit (Thirteen). "It's the Space Hero: Thirteen! My favorite Hero!"

"Haha, I am glad to meet a fellow fan," Izuku would've been excited if it wasn't for him forgetting the biggest event that he should've given much more thought about.

'You got yourself too distracted,' Kudo criticizes sternly, but it doesn't sound harsh. 'I understand that a lot of things have happened, and you can't keep track of all of them, but this is just careless.'

'Kudo! Give Ninth a break!' Fifth stated, defending the boy.

'Guys, can we not talk now? We got a bigger issue,' Izuku turned to see the inside of USJ and saw a black swirl at the center of the building. He unintentionally held his breath when he saw the familiar pale blue-haired man (Tomura Shigaraki) walk out of the swirl, hands covering his body. But, another thing that caught him off guard is the people that accompany Tomura, because it's not the Nomu from the canon.

It's a group made up of 3 High-End Nomu. One is a bulky beast with claws, jaws, and tail resembling a T-Rex. One is a skinny beast with a pair of gigantic wings, and a pair of guns on its wrists. Another is a cloaked beast holding a blade made out of bone.

Izuku is completely horrified as the battle of USJ has just gone harder, like a bazillion times harder. He takes a breath before letting out a sigh as he speaks in a dead tone.

"… Well, that's just Prime…"

To be continued
