Family United! A Mother's Love And Grandparents Revealed!

Izuku's POV.

I'll be honest, I didn't really expect much on my birthday, especially after being framed as the UA Traitor and having everyone I ever trusted turn against me. At the most, I expected to spend the summer in my apartment before the lease was up, move back into the dorms the following school year, spend time looking for a new place to live, go to class, and isolate myself from my former friend group and my classmates. Oh, and let's not forget continuing to mourn the death of my mother. I certainly hadn't expected all of this to happen, though!

Seriously! I've had to deal with so many things from the League of Villains to a giant dragon, to a bunch of space soldiers to the private army of some mad queen! And THEN some! Not to mention having a whole new family coming out of the woodwork to protect me from these threats.

So far, I've met my uncle who can use his own nose hairs as weapons, my martial artist aunt, my plasma sword wielding older brothers, one of whom I'm about ninety-eight percent certain is an alien from outer space, my four older sisters who are space mercenaries, an elemental manipulator, and a beast tamer if Hydranoid is anything to go by, my wind controlling younger sister, my four cousins who are an alien, two humans, and a dragon, my Scottish grandmother on my aunt's side, and our family dog who I am convinced has some sort of reality warping power, and most recently, my alien lizard-man father.

I'm not sure if I can handle any more surprises tonight.

But then the shadows surrounding us began to close in and everyone took fighting stances. Those of us with weapons got those ready, and Alice was quick to throw down one of those Gate Card things before sending out Hydranoid who took his true form again.

"What the hell's going…?" Caulifla tried to say.

But Sabine cut her off saying, "Watch out! We're under attack!".

Suddenly, the shadows all around the area merged into one as tentacles grew out and ensnared every one of them! Some tried to fight back, but it was no use. Frieza and Caulifla couldn't break through with their strength or ki blasts, Alice found herself unable to use any abilities to help Hydranoid who was also unable to brute force his way out, and Kanna's electrical powers were completely cancelled out. Anakin and Savage tried to use their Lightsabers to cut through the tentacles while Ben used the Ultimatrix to transform into a giant dinosaur alien that he called Humungousaur, but they were eventually overwhelmed and caught. Kuvira couldn't make the right gestures to use her earthbending or metalbending, while Sabine and Bo-Katan were restrained so tightly that they couldn't reach their weapons. Wendy was hit over the head and knocked unconscious, and Nami just wasn't able to do anything before she had been caught. Even BoBoBo's wiggin skills were useless in this situation! And Muriel? Well, she's not really a fighter and even Courage was caught quickly.

All in all, it's a pretty sucky situation we've found ourselves in.

"Hey, what gives!?" exclaimed Humungousaur.

"I… can't… move!" grunted Kuvira.

"Damn it, whoever you are, release me at once and fight me!" demanded Frieza.

"Oh, and what will you do if I don't?" asks a voice.

I quickly took a fighting stance and looked around. Of all the times for One For All to go silent on me!

But that's when I saw something absolutely nightmarish rise up from the shadows around us. Taking form within the darkness was a gigantic, purple-skinned demon with red eyes, huge, curved horns, bat-like wings, and a large dragon/snake appendage protruding from its chest. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was shaking at the sight of this thing. And I wasn't the only one who was shocked and afraid.

"It can't be…!" gasped Frieza.

"But… but he was destroyed five thousand years ago!" exclaimed Chun-Li.

"Oh my!" gasped Muriel.

Courage just screamed at the top of his lungs at the sight of this demon and looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but here at the moment. I don't blame him.

I gasped as the demon, with a surprising amount of speed for its size, quickly reached down and grabbed me in its gigantic hand and lifted me up to eye level. I soon found myself panicking as I struggled to break free from the demon's iron grip.

"Who are you?" I found myself asking.

The demon replied in a deep, raspy voice, "I am the almighty Zorc Necrophades, Lord of the Shadow Realm. And I have come for you, Izuku Midoriya.".

'Just why the hell am I so popular today? And darn it, Katsuki, now you're starting to make ME curse!' I found meself thinking before I asked, "What do you want from me?".

"Your soul." Zorc replied.

I stopped struggling as my blood ran cold.

"My… what…?" I asked, hoping I had misheard.

"You heard me! I want your soul! With the vast power that lies within it, I shall become the most powerful being in all of creation! And all worlds shall be consumed in shadows!" Zorc exclaimed.

'This doesn't make any sense. First people want to turn me into a weapon, then they want me dead, and now this guy wants my soul!? Pardon my language, but WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!' I thought with heavy confusion and fear.

"Release him at once, you bootleg demon lord!" demanded Frieza.

The alien who claims to be my father.

Zorc merely cackled and said, "What can you possibly do, Frieza? You and the rest of your pathetic family are trapped, weakened and helpless.".

"When I get out of this…!" snarled Frieza.

"You mean IF you get out of it. And if you do, what then? You will try to fight me? No weapon or technique made by a mortal can harm me. Besides…" Zorc made more tentacles and manipulated them into sharp spears all aimed at their vital areas. "You're all already dead! So, when you get to the underworld, tell them to make some room.".

Third Person POV.

Izuku's mind went into overdrive as he tried to figure a way out. He had to weigh his options carefully. Up until now, the only real family he's ever had was his mother, Inko. Sure, Katsuki's parents are his godparents, but they didn't really try to spend time with him after Katsuki manifested a quirk and he didn't. But these people… they came out of nowhere and protected him. They showed him kindness, compassion and love like only a real family can.

Now, he would do the same for them and make the only choice that would protect them all.

"Will you spare them?"

Izuku's question shocked all of them, except for Zorc, who merely glanced at the greenette with a raised eye ridge.

"What?!" the others cried out in shock.

"If you swear to spare their lives… then I will give you what you want." Izuku said.

Zorc's face morphed into a wicked facsimile of a grin. He would kill them all regardless of the agreement, but he would play along if it meant securing his prize easier.

"But of course. If you give up your soul willingly, I'll happily do you the favor of sparing their lives." Zorc said.

"Izuku, no! You can't trust a demon like Zorc, he'll never keep his word!" Nami exclaimed as she struggled harder.

"There's no choice, Nami! Regardless of what they did to me at UA… I am still a hero. And I won't let any innocent lives be taken if there's something I can do to prevent it!" declared Izuku.

With that, Zorc held Izuku at eye level as his eyes began to glow with a sinister red light. Izuku grunted in pain as the shadows encased him in a semi-transparent orb. Tendrils grew out from the orb and reached into the boy as they latched onto his soul and began to slowly pull it out of his chest. Zorc cackled softly as he now had what he wanted in his grasp.

That's when Zorc said to the shadows, "Kill them all.".

"WHAT? NO!" gasped Izuku as he tried to fight off the shadows. "YOU GAVE YOUR WORD!"

"Yes, I did say that, but you see… I lied." Zorc said as he pulled the boy's soul halfway out while saying, "You're so fortunate, Midoriya. Most people have to live with their mistakes, but you get to DIE by yours! And now, with your soul in my grasp, ultimate power shall be mine!".

"I THINK NOT, VILE BEAST!" shouted a voice.

One that clearly belonged to a woman.

Suddenly, something pierced the shadows as Frieza and the others were not only freed from the shadowy tendrils, but Izuku was also freed! And the fragment of his soul that Zorc had managed to pull from him had returned to his body! The boy landed hard on his back, breathing hard and gasping for breath after his soul was almost literally ripped from his body. Cracking open one eye, Izuku saw what had freed everyone as Frieza and the others rushed to his side, with Chun-Li carrying Wendy and the still unconscious Zangya.

It was a woman with porcelain skin, long, spiky blonde hair, and blue eyes. She was currently dressed in silver samurai armor like the kind worn by Samurai warriors in the Sengoku and Edo eras of Japan. She was literally riding on a cloud as if it were a surfboard and held a katana in her hand. Angered at this turn of events, Zorc leaned down to get a closer look at the one who dared to interfere.

"What is this? What form of insect is this?" Zorc asked before laughing as he recognized the woman. "It is you, Mana."

"Yes, Zorc. Your evil cannot abolish the power of righteousness. And now, I am here to finish what the Pharaoh could not five thousand years ago and save my family! Especially my son, whose soul you attempted to steal!" the woman, Mana, declared.

Izuku's eyes widened in shock at her declaration.

"But… but my mother is…" he quietly started to say.

But Frieza helped him to his feet as he said, "Everything will be explained to you soon, Izuku. You have my word.".

Ignoring the rest of the group, Zorc cackled and said, "Are you as ignorant as Frieza? Your mortal blade cannot harm me-"

But Mana ignored the demon and rode her cloud towards him. And once Mana's sword cut Zorc's flesh…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Zorc.

He had actually felt searing agony from the blade strike! He looked down and saw the area where he had been cut glowing as a chunk of his flesh seemed to burn away before it stopped. The demon growled and turned to glare at the Egyptian Sorceress turned Samurai.

"How can this be?" Zorc demanded.

Mana held up her katana and replied, "This sword was forged from and imbued with the strength and power of the human spirit. It represents all that is good. Its purpose is to destroy you and save my family!".

Zorc silently glared for a moment then roared with rage! He stood up as the mouth of the dragon creature in his chest started to glow. Meanwhile, the rest of the group was taking Izuku a safe distance away from the battle.

"Wait, we can't just leave her alone to face that guy by herself!" protested Izuku.

"Don't worry, little bro!" Sabine said as she put her helmet back on. "Mom can handle herself!"

Zorc fired an energy blast from his chest dragon's mouth at Mana, but she flew away on her cloud and deflected the blast with her sword. Zorc fired blast after blast at Mana, but she was too small and too fast for him to hit. Even when she got closer to him, he couldn't land a single hit as she either avoided the blasts or used her sword to deflect them. The demon fired rapid shots as Mana flew close to the ground, and when she was close enough, she struck with her blade and almost cut Zorc's leg clean off! The great demon screamed in pain again as his wound burned away a bit of flesh before rapidly healing itself.

As Mana flew past him, Zorc employed a new ability that he had been given by his 'benefactor' which startled Mana at first, but she was able to dodge as he tried to chomp down and swallow her whole. He roared as it was revealed that he could now shapeshift! He had combined his physical body with that of the snake/dragon in his chest to take the form of an Ampithere Dragon with mighty wings, dagger-like teeth in his great maw, and spikes at the end of his tail!

As Mana flew away, Zorc flew after her! Izuku and the others watched as Zorc's transformed body easily kept up with her. He continued to try and bite down on her with his great maw, but Mana would evade and try to strike back with her sword only just missing her target before being forced to put some distance between herself and the demon. And on the last attempt to bite her, Mana flew up over Zorc's head and cut it clean off at the base of the neck!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" screamed Zorc.

Mana flew away as the demon's body and head crashed to the ground. But then they seemed to turn into a semi-liquid state and merged back together before taking the form of a giant spider creature with a menacing grin, sharp legs, and a skeletal exoskeleton. After circling around, Mana gasped at the sight of the creature before Zorc stabbed through the cloud she was riding with one of his bladed legs, causing her to fall. Fortunately for the sorceress turned samurai, she landed on her feet and quickly started running from Zorc as he gave chase and easily kept up with her.

"I don't get it. Not that I want him to do so, but why didn't he just stab mom when he had the chance?" asked Anakin.

"Because right now, Zorc is a predator. Likes to play with his food first." Chun-Li replied.

Izuku clenched his fist so hard that his knuckles turned white as he thought, 'Darn it, why? Why am I so helpless? So powerless to do anything?'.

A nearby horse neighed as it began to run away, but Mana managed to climb onto its back just as it took off running. She rode away on horseback, but Zorc was still close behind. She forced the horse to suddenly stop as Zorc attempted to flatten her with his massive spider body. The demon scowled as he rose up and tried multiple times to stab her with his sharp legs, but she managed to deflect each one with either her sword or her armor while also getting a few cuts in.

"Yaah!" cried Mana as she cut off the tip of one of Zorc's spider legs and hacked it to nothingness.

She continued to cut through the many legs attacking her, but they were only shallow cuts, and Zorc even managed to get a lucky hit on her back. It didn't cut her, but it did tear the lower half of her tunic a little. Eventually, Zorc got a clean hit and knocked Mana off of her horse and into an abandoned shop. But she quickly recovered and cut the leg that had attacked her twice as she leapt out, revealing that her helmet and shoulder armor had been destroyed and her top had been torn, revealing her left shoulder and the bandage wrappings around her chest which preserved her modesty. But she didn't let something as insignificant as torn armor stop her as she ran to attack Zorc again only for him to jump high with surprising skill.

"AAAAAHHH!" Zorc screamed as he exploded and rained down into dark purple puddles on the ground.

Mana looked around and quickly grew distressed as she realized what he was about to do.

The fragments of Zorc snaked along the ground and filled in the many discarded suits of samurai armor laying on the ground. For it would seem that the shop that Mana had been knocked into was actually an abandoned armory. The fragments not only took over the armor, but they also grabbed any weapons that they could reach. Swords, spears, bows & arrows, the works. All weapons dating back to ancient Japan.

And when they finished forming… Zorc's smirking face appeared on each and every newly formed soldier! Mana gasped at this, not expecting Zorc to try something like this.

'Then again, five thousand years ago, he didn't need to.' Mana thought.

She glanced over to where her family was watching with worry, and managed to send them a reassuring smile before scowling at Zorc as she refocused on the battle.

All was silent for a moment until Zorc and his fellow 'soldiers' began to cackle as they knew that they had the odds stacked in their favor. After all, what could one simple sorceress playing samurai do to destroy a whole army of himself? All she was doing was prolonging her demise! She is a mere paper tiger in front of a storm in his eyes, and he intends to prove it by slaying her right here and now! But not before forcing her to watch as he rips out Izuku Midoriya's soul slowly and painfully!

The Zorcs abruptly stopped laughing after a few minutes as the atmosphere became tense and serious. Mana glanced around as sweat began to accumulate on her brow. Until a single drop of sweat fell from a stray hair in her bangs… and landed on the ground.

The army of Zorcs roared as all at once they charged at Mana with the intent of ending her life! But Mana was ready for them.

She cut off the head of one Zorc's spear and kicked him into three more before spinning on her heel just in time to trip another one over her back and cut the one behind him in half diagonally from the chest down. As another Zorc jumped up and tried to cut her down with his twin swords she ran forward and cut two more Zorc soldiers in half, one horizontally and once vertically before twirling around and cutting him down, too. She cut down three more in one strike, dodged two before slicing them in half just in time to stab one that tried to jump her before cutting down two more.

But before she knew it, several Zorcs armed with spears were charging at her! She managed to cut down a few and cut the spearheads off of some of their weapons but was pushed back as several spears hit her. Fortunately, the remains of her armor prevented her from getting pierced as she cried out and shoved the spears away before getting hit in the back, in the armored spot, by several more.

"UWOOOOOOHHHHH!" she cried out as she fought on.

At this point, Izuku and the rest of his new 'family', pardon him for not being totally convinced yet, watched as Mana went into overdrive cutting down every Zorc Soldier that came at her. She was surrounded on all sides, but she didn't care! In that moment, she wasn't just a mere sorceress. She was a warrior defending those who are most precious to her! She fought so hard that at some points it looked like those slow motion stillframes from those samurai movies that Izuku used to watch with the Bakugos. Before Katsuki got his quirk and started to bully him, of course.

That's when the Zorc Soldiers tried a new tactic. Those who had them slung arrows into their bows, took aim, and fired a hail of arrows at Mana just as she cut down two more soldiers. She swung her sword and managed to cut down several arrows before they could hit her, but she still wound up with several arrows lodged into her torso and upper thighs.

"UWOOOOOOOHHHHHH!" Mana screamed as she fought through the pain.

She continued to fight until the sound of thunder sounded overhead and rain began to fall. Mana grunted as she continued to cut down Zorc Soldiers. And even from the distance they were at, Izuku could see that those that were cut down by the sword that Mana was using ended up burning away and leaving nothing behind. Did this mean that Zorc was getting weaker? As more and more Zorcs were cut down, their armor and weapons scattering upon the ground, one of the Zorc Soldiers, the main Zorc, backed away as fear began to grip the demon. Soon, he was the only one left as Mana stood there in the rain. Her clothes were damaged, her hair was disheveled, and she still had several arrows lodged into her flesh. One would think that she was on her last leg, but no… she was far from it.

Her head slowly turned to look at Zorc as she gave him a glare that would send even the devil running for his life.

And you know what?

That's exactly what Zorc decided to do.

"BAH!" cried Zorc as he ran to, hopefully, live to fight another day.

But Mana had other plans.

"You will not escape!" she exclaimed.

And with a throw that would make an Olympic athlete proud, she threw her sword which stabbed Zorc Necrophades through the back! Landing on the ground, Zorc was soon absorbed into the blade of the sword which turned as purple as his skin. His eyes opened upon the blade and blinked in surprise at what had happened before narrowing as Mana picked up the sword and held it up high.

"Now, let the sword banish this evil demon forever." Mana said.

With that, she held the sword in both hands, raised it above her head, and stabbed the blade into the ground as Zorc was forced from the blade into the ground.

"I WILL RETUUUUURRRRRRrrrrnnnn…!" roared Zorc as he was, not destroyed…

But sealed away! As proven when a giant stone tablet erupted from the ground before Mana's very eyes! Carved into the stone tablet was an image that bore a striking resemblance to Zorc Necrophades himself. And with the sealing complete, the shadows gave way to the light of the moon and the stars, leaving only Mana, Izuku, and the others. Mana sighed in relief and sheathed her sword before using her magic to heal herself up and fix her clothes, replacing her damaged samurai armor with a simple white and gold dress that left her shoulders exposed like that of an Egyptian Priestess.

Izuku didn't really have time to process all that had happened as he suddenly found himself in a warm, comforting embrace. Turns out, Mana had teleported to the group and quickly engulfed the green haired boy in a loving, motherly hug.

"Oh my goodness, Izuku, my sweet little boy! Are you okay? Zorc didn't hurt you, did he?" Mana asked, fretting over the boy.

"Uh, no, I'm… I'm alright." stuttered Izuku.

"Are you sure?" Mana asked as she held Izuku at arm's length. "Please, you can tell mama if you're hurt."

"Wha? Wait a minute!" gasped Izuku, his brain finally beginning to process everything. "Did you just call yourself…?"

"That's right, sweetheart. I am Mana Midoriya. And I am your mother." Mana replied, stroking his hair lovingly.

Izuku was, quite frankly, at a loss for words.

'She claims to be my mother, but… my mother was Inko Midoriya… does that mean…?' Izuku pondered before asking, "You want… to be… my mother?".

"Yes, Izu-Chan. If you want." Mana replied.

She was worried that he might reject her as his mother. And she wouldn't blame him if he did. His own mother died not too long ago, and something like that isn't easy for anyone, let alone a child, to move on from. But Izuku just stared into her eyes and saw nothing but kindness and love. A mother's love. The same kind of love that he thought he would never feel again after Inko died. It was something that he sorely missed and would never turn away.

Izuku said nothing as he just let the dam burst as tears fell from his eyes. He lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Mana, crying out his pent up sadness and frustration. The rest of the group just gathered around as Mana smiled and held the young man in her arms, tears of happiness falling from her eyes as well.

Mana planted a gentle kiss on her child's cheek as she reluctantly broke the hug and stood up to face the rest of her family.

"Is everyone okay?" she asked.

"Yeah… yeah, we're all okay." Nami replied.

"For the most part, anyway." Kanna quipped.

Frieza popped his neck and said, "Cutting it a little bit close there, dear.".

Mana sheepishly scratched the back of her head and said, "Sorry, honey, but I needed to get the proper weapon to defeat Zorc with.".

"Granted, mortal weapons would have no effect on that monstrosity. I can't believe I let him catch me by surprise like that!" Frieza said.

BoBoBo cleared his throat and said, "You know, I hate to interrupt, but we should get outta here before more trouble shows up.".

"You're right, brother. Everyone onto the ship, quickly!" Mana urged.

"What about Zangya?" Wendy asked.

"Bring her aboard, too. Something tells me that she's no longer a threat to us anymore." Mana replied.

Everyone quickly got onto the ship and got themselves situated. Caulifla closed the doors as Bo-Katan tossed Kanna a juice box from the ship's fridge. Frieza sat down on a chair which looked more like a throne while Mana went over to check on him. Kuvira led Izuku to what he assumed to be a dinner table, but with how alien it looked he couldn't quite tell.

"Everyone buckle up. This is gonna be a bumpy ride." Bo-Katan said as she sat down in the pilot's seat with Sabine acting as her co-pilot.

Izuku was seated in the lounge area with Wendy snuggled up next to him, Courage was laying across his lap, Savage sitting across from him while Anakin sat next to him. Muriel went up to the cockpit where Bo-Katan input the necessary commands to get the ship moving to their destination before going back to the lounge.

"Alright, folks, we're taking off." Sabine announced.

And so, the ship slowly rose up from the ground as its 'legs' retracted into the sides which closed up before it started moving forward while slowly gaining altitude.

"Brother, is something the matter?" Savage asked, noticing how deep in thought the freckled greenette looked.

"It's just… you all claim to be my family, but I've never heard of any of you until now. Where did you all even come from?" Izuku asked.

The others stared at him, and they knew that it was time to tell him the whole story.

"It's because you made a wish, Izuku." Nami said, leaning against the seat that Izuku was sitting in.

"A wish?" Izuku asked.

"You wished for a loving family. A family that would love you as you are just as Inko did when she was alive." Caulifla explained, feeling turbulence meaning that the ship was already exiting the planet's atmosphere.

"Does that mean… my wish came true?" Izuku asked, still not quite believing it.

"That's right, Izuku, it did." BoBoBo said before adding, "And before you go saying that it's impossible, remember that we live in a world where almost everyone on the planet has some kind of superpower. They might not all be flashy or powerful, but they're still powers. Need I elaborate further?".

"And we're as real as you believe us to be." Chun-Li added, standing next to Anakin.

"...Really?" Izuku asked.

"What does your heart tell you?" Mana asked.

Izuku looked down at his lap, petting Courage as he stuttered, "I… I want to… I want to believe that you're real.".

"Then we are real, son. But you still have a choice to make." Frieza said. "If you want us to stay then we shall stay, but if you want us to leave just say the word and we shall. I know that it's hard to understand, but we speak the truth when we say that we are here because of your wish. You wanted a family to care for you, and who you could be close to as well. And that is exactly what brought us here. We're flesh and blood just like you are. We can think, feel, laugh, cry, everything that any other sentient being can do. …We can even die if it comes down to it. But if you don't want us here, just say the word and we will leave.".

"That's it?" Izuku asked.

Frieza nodded and replied, "Yes, that's it. So, do you want us to stay with you, son?".

Izuku thought about this for several tense minutes. He was at quite a quandary. He gets a new family, but he can choose to send them away? He felt as though this was all a dream and that he would soon wake up from hitting his head after slipping on that banana peel. It was a truly important choice that he had to make. On one hand he could have a new family that would love and care for him just as his mother, Inko, had when she was alive, and that he could love and care for in return. On the other hand, he could send them away and continue to live a life of pain, misery, and isolation with the very people who had accused him of being a traitor and interrogated him with no real evidence.

He pinched himself hard and felt the pain. This was not a dream. All of this was very much real!

Frieza and the others grew a little concerned when they heard Izuku beginning to sniffle as he began to cry. But when he raised his head, he was smiling as he cried, not tears of pain or sadness…

But tears of joy!

He looked his new father dead in the eye and replied to his question, "Yes, I do!".

"Yay!" cheered Courage.

The happy pink beagle lept up and started assaulting Izuku's face with doggy kisses as the greenette laughed and tried to fend him off.

"Alright!" cheered Anakin as he grabbed Izuku in a headlock and gave him a playful noogie.

"Glad to hear it, brother!" said Savage.

"Well, let's save all that energy, people, because we've got a party to get to." Bo-Katan said from the cockpit.

"Party?" asked Izuku.

"Your birthday party, silly! What did you think we meant?" Sabine replied.

"Trust me, you're going to have the time of your life, squirt." Kuvira said, patting her little brother on the back.

"Oh, what should I wear to the party?" Alice pondered.

"Whatever you choose to wear, you'll look amazing, Alice." Hydranoid said.

"Everyone strap in! We're about to engage the hyperdrive!" warned Bo-Katan.

Izuku looked out the window of the ship to see that the black, starry void of space had turned into a vortex of flashing blue and white lights that would surely cause seizures to people with epilepsy. After about a minute or so, it ended, and Izuku saw that the ship seemed to have landed.

"We're here!" exclaimed Wendy as she practically dragged Izuku off the ship.

"Although, the hyperdrive might have been a bit excessive." Muriel said.

As soon as they disembarked, Izuku found himself in awe as they were in a hangar with various other ships and vehicles the likes of which looked to be at least hundreds of years ahead of Earth's current time!

"Whoa… where are we?" gasped Izuku.

"Izuku Midoriya, welcome to the Frieza Force-1." Bo-Katan said as she stepped out of the ship.

"Frieza Force-1?" Izuku asked as he was escorted to a large elevator.

"It's a giant space cruiser with all of the comforts of home, currently in a synchronized orbit around the planet." Bo-Katan explained.

"So, it's a spaceship?" Izuku asked.

"Space Cruiser, actually." Kanna corrected.

"And we're over Earth right now?" Izuku asked.

"Correct." Anakin replied.

After a brief silence Izuku shrugged and said, "Okay, then. So, where are we going now?".

"To meet your grandparents." Anakin replied. "They're mom's parent's."

"Wait a minute, my what?!" gasped Izuku.

With a ding the elevator doors opened to reveal a rather ornate hallway filled with paintings, statues, many things belonging to rich nobles. Izuku was honestly shocked.

'And I thought Yaoyorozu's family was rich.' Izuku thought.

They soon stopped at a pair of ornate wooden doors that opened as if the red sea was parting for them and revealed two figures within the room.

The first of the two figures was a woman with fair skin, brown eyes and straight blonde hair that parts above her forehead. Her hair has shoulder length bangs that frame her face and the rest reaches her lower back, which she keeps tied in two loose ponytails. She also has a 'tattoo' on her forehead that looks like a light violet diamond. She was wearing a grass green haori with the kanji for 'gamble' on the back inside of a red circle. Underneath she wears a gray kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-gray obi that matches her pants. Her blouse is closed quite low, revealing her sizable cleavage. She wears open-toed, strapped black sandals with high heels. She has red nail polish on both her fingernails and toenails and uses a soft pink lipstick. Around her neck was a necklace that looked to be a green gem attached to a black cord.

The second person was a tall, lean man with light skin and gray eyes. His hair is messy and light-blonde, almost pale, with strands framing the sides of his face and hanging between his eyes, and he has chin stubble. He wears a dark green samue. Over this he wears a black haori, which sports a white diamond pattern along its bottom half, a striped bucket hat, and traditional wooden sandals.

"Izuku, allow me to introduce you to Tsunade Senju-Midoriya, the greatest and most powerful medic in the known universe and current leader of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, and Kisuke Midoriya, the greatest scientific genius in the known galaxy." Savage announced as he introduced each person.

"Mother, I'd like you to meet…" Mana started before she was cut off.

"I know who he is, Mana." Tsunade said with a smile as she stood up and walked to the greenette and promptly grabbed him by the shirt before pulling him into a hug. "Oh, come here you sweet, cinnamon roll child and give grandma a big hug!"

In spite of how surprisingly strong her grip was, Izuku found himself returning the hug and getting used to all of the hugs he's been getting through the night.

"Be careful not to suffocate him, dear. And ease up on the pressure a little, or he's going to need a chiropractor." Kisuke said with a teasing grin.

"Oh, come off it, hun. I finally have another grandkid to spoil!" Tsunade replied before giving a teasing grin to the rest of the grownups in the room and saying, "Unless some of you plan to give me more."

"Gah! Mother, please!" exclaimed Frieza as he and Mana blushed so hard that steam was practically coming out of their ears.

Tsunade just laughed and said, "Relax, ya overgrown gecko, I'm just messing with you!".

"You know, I've been meaning to ask, but earlier, Kanna called Chun-Li her mother, but she's a dragon while Caulifla is a Saiyan. So, how are they her children? Unless she adopted them, or…?" Izuku asked.

"Very astute of you, nephew. You're right, all of your cousins are adopted. Chun-Li and I adopted Caulifla, Nami, Ben and Kanna. But we love them as if they were our own." BoBoBo explained.

Izuku nodded in acceptance of this before turning to Tsunade and saying, "Uh, Grandma? Pardon me for saying this, but how are you my grandmother? You look young enough to be my own mother.".

"Oh, how sweet of you to say that Izu-Chan!~" gushed Tsunade. "Don't let my looks fool you, though. I'm actually in my fifties."

"You're what?! But… HOW?" gasped Izuku.

"I'll tell you about it some other time." Tsunade said.

"Oh! That reminds me." said Kisuke.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small device that looked like a pocket watch. The device sent out a ray of light that scanned Izuku for a few seconds before the light died down. The readout on the device read (15:00-00:00-00:00-00:00-10:06:37).

"Alright, folks! He's in the clear!" Kisuke announced.

"Really?" asked Wendy.

"That's a relief." sighed Nami.

"Yeah, it is." Ben agreed.

Izuku, however, was still confused. And Tsunade noticed this.

"What's wrong, Izu-Chan?" she asked.

"I just wish I knew why everyone was after me today." Izuku asked.

This made Tsunade and Kisuke turn to the rest of the group.

"Oh dear. Could it be that you all forgot to tell him?" Kisuke asked with an aloof grin.

"We didn't really have time to with all of the enemies constantly popping up and attacking. We were more focused on protecting Izuku, so we couldn't tell him." Ben explained.

Tsunade sighed and said, "Okay, I'll give you that.".

Kisuke became totally serious as he turned to Izuku and said, "Izuku, the reason everyone was after you tonight is because of what you are. You are a Celestial Guardian.".

"A what?" Izuku asked.

"A Celestial Guardian. They are protectors of life chosen by the gods to defend the universe from destruction and evil." Tsunade explained. "And when a Celestial Guardian reaches their fifteenth birthday their powers reach a state of awakening."

"What does that mean?" Izuku asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Basically, it means that for the first ten hours of your fifteenth year, your powers are in an extreme state of flux. This is the point where every evil force out there will try to claim those powers by any means necessary. That's why you couldn't use that quirk of yours and why we had to send down the others to find and protect you." Kisuke elaborated. "But since that window of time has passed, your powers can't be taken from you anymore."

"How would they take them from me?" Izuku asked.

"Several ways, actually. Drinking your blood like a vampire, stealing your soul like Zorc tried to do, or having sex with you to take your DNA, which I'm pretty sure Bojack would have had Zangya try to do if he didn't want your powers for himself." Mana replied.

"Or they could just take your DNA in general. We're lucky that the Hair Hunt Troops didn't show up, or they'd try to take your power by shaving your head and harvesting your hair." BoBoBo said.

To which Nami clung to Izuku in a death grip and said, "No, not his fluffy hair!".

But Izuku was still confused about something.

"How could every evil force in the galaxy know about my powers awakening? And how could they know where I am?" Izuku asked.

Savage just shrugged and said, "It's the way of the universe, brother.".

"Alright, everyone, enough of these explanations! It's Izuku's birthday, and it's time to celebrate!" Tsunade shouted.

To which everyone cheered as they were filled with excitement.
