And here we go with another idea, one that's more of a spawn of another fanfiction due to continuously thinking about it in my head. A fanfiction of a fanfiction, if you will.
And it's less of a crossover, this one, and more of a fusion of fandoms...
The Grand Army of U.A.
(Inspired by Legion by CT_2864_Clone_1853034 and Lanterna_Eternal, and Star Wars related media)
When he is four years old, Izuku begins to hear voices in his head.
When he is ten years old, Izuku meets his brother, who happens to also be his quirk.
His name is Jango Midoriya, a stoic, surly individual without much humour to him beyond dry sarcasm and blunt honesty, and he is but one of many clones living in Izuku's head. An army of clones in fact.
Soon enough, years later down the line, the events of canon would play out and Izuku would be taken as an apprentice by All Might, only now he had Jango and the clone in his head at his side.
The entrance exam comes and goes (with Izuku and Jango wielding blaster pistols that had been developed with Izuku's quirk, Izuku a pair of DC-15s commando pistols, and Jango a pair of WESTAR-34 pistols), and Izuku is allowed into U.A., Jango accompanying him as he is part of his quirk. As the days go by, events play out similar to canon, and Izuku ends up spawning two more clones from his quirk, one being the dutiful, straightforward, and bombastically quiet ARC-77, and the other being the ruthless, detached, and cunning ARC-17, the latter of whom makes it a point to routinely criticise hero society as a whole, and regularly points out the simply way to end a fight, A.K.A. kill the opposition, which freaks out not just Izuku and Fordo (Jango is more blithe to it), but also the rest of his classmates in 1-A as well.
During this time, we learn that, strangely in the last ten years, technology in the MHA universe has seen a dramatic leap in advancement, exceeding the dreams of even those in I-Island. Alongside floating ocean defence platforms known as Golans, with three variants that get progressively more advanced with each iteration and all of which can surprisingly float in the air if they could, there is also a growing market in droids, with new machines such as Astromechs and Protocol Droids increasing in commodity alongside security droids such as the GU-series Guardian Police Droids, and worker droids such as the CLL-M2 binary loadlifter.
Not only that, but in the last ten years, there was a sudden breakthrough in theoretical repulsorlift technology, and now new atmospheric ships are being utilised across the world in various different models, such as the T-6 shuttle for executive organisations such U.A. and the HPSC, haulers such as the G9 Rigger and the Baleen-class for freight shipping, Star Commuter 2000s and Shuttle Ferries for bus services, Lancer-class pursuit craft as private craft for heroes during their work, Mobile Tac-Pods for private organisations such as I-Island, military-grade starships such as the Z-95 Headhunters and Cutlass-9 patrol fighters for what little armed forces remained in the age of heroes and villains, and LAAT/ie patrol gunships for police and SWAT forces.
Soon, the day of the USJ would arrive, and as the students and three clones arrive at the building and be confronted by the League of Villains.
But this time, there was something different about the forces that they came with.
The LoV were armed with an army of Battle Droids.
As with in canon, the students would be scattered across the USJ, and the villains and their horde of B1s would hunt them down and trap them in miniature sieges and confrontations, the students making regular usage of the B1s weak frames and general stupidity (because you can't have B1s without them being hapless idiots), only to be cut short by the seemingly endless numbers of the droids and the adaptiveness of the organic villains embedded in their ranks, whom act as melee support like the Bedlam Raider melee units for the droids.
Soon enough, the students are outnumbered and without support as their individual groups are surrounded and forced to surrender to the droids, with the last holdout of students being Izuku and his clones, Jango, ARC-11, and ARC-17, and other students being Ochako, Shoji, Ashido. However, in a surprise attack from both the droids and the Nomu, Izuku and Jango are cut off from the rest of the group, Fordo drags the other three students away, and Alpha slinks off on his own to fight the LoV.
As ARC-77 and the students track down the captured students and teachers, and as ARC-17 begins wiping out entire droid squads on his own, Izuku and Jango are confronted by the Nomu on their own, and Jango sends Izuku away for his own safety.
Jango and the Nomu do battle, but it is easy to tell that he is out of his element. Worse yet, the droids catch up to them, and no matter how many he took down, many more would take their place.
Then, he ran out of rockets. His gadgets were busted, his pistols had run so hot that they'd overheated, and all his strength had left his body.
And in the end, it wasn't the Nomu that killed him. It was a simple B1, who ripped his helmet off, tossed it aside, and shot him in the head. A humiliating, undignified execution.
And Izuku feels his death through his quirk, and goes into a rage.
One for All merges with his quirk, and the Grand Army marches.
Meanwhile, the captured students are brought together into a group, and are horrified by the sight of Jango's corpse being dragged into view by the Nomu for all of them to see. Deciding that it would cause All Might more pain if more than just a clone died on his watch, Shigaraki orders five students to be executed, and Yuga, Mineta, Hagakure, Momo, and Kirishima find themselves lined up on the wall. The B1s arm their weapons and ready to fire...
Only to be cut down by a hail of blue light, as a swarm of clone troopers, decked out in white armour and wielding DC-15s and DC-15As on top of PLEX rocket launchers and Z-6 rotary cannons, emerge from bright green portals to do battle with them.
The clones and droids go to war with each other, whilst ARC-77 and the students with him, armed with DC-17 pistols and a few E-5s that they'd scavenged from the downed droids, launch a rescue operation and free their fellow students alongside ten other clone troopers, all the while ARC-17 makes himself known by killing several villains with his WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle and vibroblades. Even the regular clones begin summarily executing any villains who refuse to surrender.
And all the while, Izuku is continuously spawning more clones to destroy the villains and replace the ones that have been killed by both the Nomu and the droids.
Realising that the battle is turning into a scrim of chaos and that more clones will needlessly die because of it, one CC-2224 begins to coordinate with ARC-17 and ARC-77, as well as with one CC-7567, to organise the clones and coordinate with them to retake the USJ. They finally begin to make progress as well, and are quickly making short work of the droids opposing them.
But at the Nomu's death to the clones and All Might's arrival, Shigaraki and Kurogiri beat a retreat, but not before the latter summons more droids, and Shigaraki orders them to fight to the end and take as many of the clones down with them as they could.
Even with All Might's intervention and the U.A. teachers' arrival, the following Battle of the USJ was long and hard, and ended after a grueling siege on the droids' makeshift fortifications by the heroes and clones, wiping them all out. In the aftermath, all of the students were injured, as were all of the heroes, many clones had died, from dozens to possibly even hundreds, Jango is dead, and now Izuku is in a coma.
In his sleep, Izuku's consciousness is awakened within a strange facility, and is confronted by a stranger that both does and does not have hid face, who simply tells him that this is all part of the plan.
And when he wakes up, he finds himself in a changed world.
In the aftermath of the Battle of the USJ, the students of 1-A are traumatized by what they had gone through, the clones are wounded and reorganising themselves, and all are left mourning for the lives that were lost during the battle. Some of the students, like Ochako and Yuga, would resolve themselves to get stronger and be able to fight alongside the clones once more. Some, like Mineta and Kaminari, would take the moment to reflect on themselves and realise what they were doing before would not be acceptable or positive in the face of death. Others, like Bakugo and Todoroki, would double down on their previous behaviour and thoughts and push it all into their training. Most though, would be just taking the time to mourn the fallen and honour their sacrifice, and Izuku would resolve to grow strong and make sure that what had happened to his friends and brothers could never happen again.
Meanwhile, U.A. is forced to adjust to the existence of an army of clones now suddenly living on their front porch. Nezu would be forced to accommodate for them by tearing down an entire section of the mock city that they used to train their students and remake it into habitable living quarters for them, allowing the clones to make their own base there, alongside barracks, armouries, vehicle workshops and warehouses, and even a small landing pad for possible aircraft as they begin to build their force in the wake of the USJ and the LoV, making themselves an air force out of donated Police Gunships, scavenged Z-95s, and retrofitted Gozanti-class cruisers, as well as a ground force made of Panther police interceptors and Gaba-18 airspeeders. Meanwhile, the clones themselves would split into three primary forces, with several divisions headed by different commanders in between the main groups. First, there was the U.A. guard, who's primary mission was to protect U.A. and its staff, students, and campus, commanded by the hardass CC-1010, the perceptive CC-5869, the selfless CC-4477, and a bruiser of a clone who simply called himself Thorn. Second, there was the unit under CC-7567's command, made up of the five-hundred and one surviving clone trooper regulars of the USJ (the Dominos, Jesse's trio, Denal, and so on), who specialised in specific missions and jobs against the LoV. Finally, there was CC-2224's unit, known as the 212th, who provided overall support for all continuing operations against the droids and villains.
In the wake of the USJ, Nezu decides to employ this new army of clones as a private security force for U.A., and begins sending them out alongside the teachers of U.A. to track down possible leads on the LoV and secure the students of 1-A from anymore droid attacks, sending them across the country and creating several pitched skirmishes between U.A.'s forces and gangs of villains and outposts of droids.
However, many professional heroes would begin to take umbrage with the clones, seeing them as possible replacements to their work and growing weary of them, and several hero agencies refuse to work with them out of worry and discrimination. Meanwhile, members of the HPSC and Japanese Diet refuse to allow the clones into certain positions of security, and when the Sports Festival begins, Nezu decides not to assign the clones as security for the event, both to appease the heroes that dislike the clones - both as a people and an institution - and also because he feels uncomfortable sending people that young into battle once more, and wants to give them a chance to rest and properly mourn their dead.
In the meanwhile, the students train for the Sports Festival, and begin to form friendships, some understandable and others strange, with the clones currently stationed at U.A., and even assisting in helping them find names. Ochako forms a friendship with CC-7567, Captain Rex, and the rest of the 501st, and begins to take up flight training with the clones in the burgeoning pilot corps, and given her own custom Delta-7B Aethersprite light interceptor for her troubles. Reiko grows close to one clone designated as CC-1004, nicknamed Gree due to the slight green colouration of his armour and his fascination with other cultures and races. Iida would form a partnership with one clone commander known as Howzer, but would be constantly irritated by the clone's willingness to bend and flaunt the rules. Mineta and Kaminari would fall under the tutelage of one clone officer known as Mayday, a survivor of the USJ who's armour was torn to pieces and barely being held together by cloth and scraps, and he would begin to teach the two how to properly act and behave around the people that they would soon be fighting alongside. Ashido would become friends with Waxer and Boil, and place herself in CC-2224's - Cody's - care. Yui would grow fond of the equally quiet ARC-77, Fordo, and his ten men, who would name themselves the Muunilinst Ten after their heroics alongside Snipe in Muunilinst City. Todoroki would find a confidant in 99, who was born as a cripple after a malfunction in the quirk's cloning processes and had no power to call his own. Ibara would find a strange friend in ARC-17, Alpha, as the two of them would soon balance each other out and inspire each other, Ibara teaching Alpha the art of temperament and kindness to others, and Alpha teaching Ibara when the time to fight was right and when one needed to throw away preconceived notions in order to get the job done.
However, all was not well with the new partnership between U.A. and the clones. Ibara had started out as a conscientious objector to the clones, and that hadn't gone away, as had the many other people who were protesting against the clones, whether it be because they are the products of a quirk or because they are an armed force with guns and explosives on a school ground. Worse yet, many like Monoma and Shinso have begun antagonising the clones, many like Bakugo are openly dismissive of them, insulting them at any chance, and many of the clones, such as CC-1010, now known as Fox, and others like Faie, are as equally dismissive of the students and heroes, viewing them as unprofessional mercenaries dressed as celebrities.
When the Sports Festival came to pass, many of the students that had taken up training under the clones managed to exceed all the others, gaining top places in the scoreboards and earning both the respect of those who acknowledge the clones and the ire of those who don't.
However, Izuku and the few clones that he was able to bring with him to the Sports Festival take notice of SD-K4 Assassin Droids in the holds and the backrooms, and are only just able to defeat them and stop them from killing anyone before learning that someone linked to the LoV had been able to sneak them in under the nose of the heroes. The Sports Festival comes to pass without any interruptions, but in private, the breach in security calls the competency of the heroes into question.
Following the Sports Festival, Izuku and the students are sent off onto their internships, though this time Nezu decides to send off some of the clones with them as guards to prevent another possible Sports Festival or USJ incident. Izuku is sent off with Rex to Gran Torino, Ochako is deployed to Mirko's agency alongside Jesse, Hardcase, and Kix, Yui heads off with Fordo and the Muunilinst Ten head out with Snipe once more, Mineta and Kaminari head off with Mayday, Hexx, and Veech to the Lurkers, Bakugo is sent off to Best Jeanist with CC-1138, known as the ruthless and perfectionist Bacara, and so on, so forth.
Iida, meanwhile, takes his apprenticeship with Manual in Hosu, searching for Stain, the man who crippled his brother, with Howzer trailing behind him, trying to keep him from getting hurt.
However, it doesn't work, and Howzer and Iida face off against Stain as he stands over Manual and Native.
Only now, something is different about the confrontation.
For you see, during Shigaraki's attempted recruitment of Stain into the League of Villains, a shrouded figure, her identity obscured, was able to appeal to Stain's desires to see the corrupt of hero society purged, and succeeded in at least convincing Stain to trial run a possible alliance between him and the LoV.
As such, when Iida and Howzer confront Stain, they find that the two heroes are already dead, and that Stain is accompanied by a trio of lanky Commando Droids, armed with E-5s and vibroblades.
And that's when an army of droids and villains suddenly appear out of nowhere, and invade Hosu.
From the rooftops above, Shigaraki, Kurogiri, and the mysterious woman with them, who simply calls herself T'ad, watch the carnage from above, and it is revealed that T'ad is the one who summoned the droids, though how that is isn't revealed. It is also revealed that she was the one who rounded up all the villains for the USJ as well, and had recruited more villains as mercenaries for their forces, mainly the lizard hunters from Trandosha Island, and the insect inventors from the Isles of Geonosis and their squadron of Nantex-class fighters, to supplement their forces. When Shigaraki asks why she is so eager to help them in causing so much destruction, T'ad does not answer.
The Battle of Hosu is violent and bloody, and at the start it is hilariously one-sided in favour of the League of Villains and their armies, despite how many heroes they throw at them. It is only when the 501st and 212th from U.A. arrive that the battle turns back into their favour, as they are accompanied by new toys alongside their original air force.
You see, because the clones' original air force was made out of old Z-95s, police gunships, and Gozantis from other organisations, that meant that the clones were beholden to those same organisations and kept in control by them. Izuku didn't like that, and began to use his quirk to design a new fleet of ships for his clones to use.
So, when Ochako comes to Hosu in her Delta-7B, she is accompanied not just by the clones' Z-95s, but a flight of LAAT infantry gunships as well, which make quick work of the squadron of Nantex fighters and dropping off new ground vehicles in the BARC Speeder and the AT-RT, and entire squads of clone troopers.
Soon enough, the clones and heroes quickly made work of the droids and villains, and drive off the lizard and insect mercenaries back to their islands, and Stain and his personal guard of droids are defeated by Iida, Howzer, and the newly arrived Izuku, Todoroki, and Yui and the Muunilinst Ten. Shigaraki and his cadre of villains escape, but not before they pick up Stain from being carted away by the Muunilinst Ten, and induct him properly into the League of Villains.
In the aftermath of Hosu, the clones are celebrated as the saviours of the city instead of the heroes, and the HPSC and Japanese Diet are forced to grant them more positions of power in terms of policing and military duties and expanding their connections beyond just U.A. as they move to hunt down the League of Villains. Japan declares war against the League of Villains, and the 501st and 212th, attack both Trandosha Island and the Isles of Geonosis, wiping out the droids and villains stationed there and putting all of them under martial law. Meanwhile, several smaller battalions, such as the 104th, 13th, 187th, 41st, and 442nd begin tracking down and destroying droid bases and staging ground across Japan and its islands, and move to attack other staging ground along the coasts of neighbouring countries, only to be impeded by those same countries due to not wanting a foreign military force on their soil when their own heroes can take care of the problem.
Meanwhile, the students at U.A. become more and more radicalised and indoctrinated into the militaristic aspects of the clone army, so much so that it begins to seep into how they act and react to the scenarios presented to them in their final exams, and their teachers are disturbed by how their students are acting less like heroes and more like soldiers.
The final exams come and go, and Izuku, All Might, and his friends head off to I-Island for a break, only for T'ad and her army of droids, alongside Wolfram's crew, to arrive in the artificial nation and completely ransack it, stealing all of its technology and holding its people for ransom. It is here where we are introduced to new droid units such as the Destroyer Droid ground units, and the Vulture Droid fighters and Hyena Bombers for the LoV's air units.
Here, Izuku meets T'ad for the first time, and is confused to know that, for some reason, T'ad seems to know him. She knows him very well.
Ochako and the clone's air force arrive to I-Island, backed now by experimental BTL Y-Wings and V19 Torrent fighters, as well as new Nu and Rho-class attack shuttles, and the AT-TE and TX-130 ground transports, and they are able to drive back the droids in the air and drop off the 501st on the ground. T'ad is able to escape with the salvaged technology, and the clones are able to secure I-Island, but they are forced to tow the island to Japanese shores and keep it there, turning it into a permanent outpost and RD department for them.
After the Battle of I-Island, the LoV would be approached by numerous organisations, such as the MLA and Humarise, all seeking protection from U.A. and the clone army, eventually forming into the Confederacy of Villains.
Meanwhile, Izuku is met by a representative of the HPSC by the name of Emilia Karn, not the highest ranking member of the HPSC, but one with significant enough power to go about her own way and use her own assets as well, and she comes to U.A. with a proposal to him:
She wants to merge the Japanese Self-Defence Force and the clone army into one Grand Army of Japan.
Izuku, at first, refuses, but Emilia is quick to point out how the game is changing, and how the League of Villains are unlike any opponent that the heroes have ever faced before. They're a force that can now rival and overpower All Might himself. The clones are the only force that might be able to stop them, and right now they are a private force beholden to no one but themselves, Izuku, and maybe even the rodent, but that's a big maybe. That's more than enough reason for people to worry. Without proper oversight, even with their heroics and feats, people are still going to worry, especially during the recent debacle with the clones asking to enter foreign countries to chase down the League and their droids.
Emilia is right, and Izuku knows it, and she knows that he knows it.
Emilia does not press Izuku for an answer - it's a big question, after all - but she does show him something of significance. She leaves him with the offer of the merger and the concept of the TK Trooper, shows him her own personal guard of Elite Squad Troopers, decked out in black, customised clone trooper armour and gear, and then forwarded him to a group of mercenary trainers and warriors known as the Protectors on an old coastal town known as Mandalore.
Izuku chases up the lead, and with Nezu's permission, he brings in the Protectors to begin training the clones and students, forming new Arc Trooper and Clone Commando units, and commingling them together to form the Special Operations Brigade, conscripting several of the students into their ranks as well. The teachers would try to impose limits on the Protectors' interactions with the students, but the latter would always circumvent their decision and adapt themselves to the warrior culture that the Protectors proliferated.
At the same time, Emilia would quietly gain the trust of a pair of clone troopers designated as CT-6200/8901, nicknamed Moz, and CT-0368/7766, nicknamed Olun, and conscripted them into a secretive, personal unit known as the Covert Ops, who specialised not in doing her dirty work like her Elite Squad Troopers, but in silencing any rebellious elements in not just the hero ranks, but also in the clones as well, in order to secure a smooth transition for an unknown agenda...
Soon enough, the Summer Camp would come to pass, and the LoV would attack with their droids once more. The clones and students would fight back as best they could, but this time they would be handed a devastating loss by the villains and their army, and this time, it would be Izuku that is taken, not Bakugou.
Izuku soon finds himself in the company of All for One, and the two strike up a tense conversation. All for One attempts to convert Izuku to his side, and Izuku is resistant to his demands. All for One then tries to take his quirk, but cannot due to One for All's interference. With that, he leaves him for Shigaraki to talk with.
However, Izuku once again comes into contact with T'ad, and learns just how powerful the League of Villains as become, the new allies they have made that stretch not just across Japan, but also across the south east of Asia as well, and their change into the Confederacy. The talk between the two of them is more relaxed and mutual, though Izuku is still disturbed by how well this woman knows him. The two of them talk about the war that has been fermented between their factions, and what T'ad's possible end goal could be, but she doesn't go any further into it. What she does criticise, though, is Izuku's insistence on being a hero. In her eyes, heroes and villains have become outdated and redundant. Quirks were growing more and more powerful with each generation, and Izuku himself was proof of that. The world needed a strong hand now to keep the peace, and All Might just wasn't cutting it anymore.
Izuku would try to protest this, but T'ad would just counter with facts at each turn. Soon enough, T'ad would leave him on his own, and Izuku would be forced to ponder over her words to him.
Meanwhile, the students and clones track down the Confederacy of Villains to Kamino, and prepare to go to war on them. The teachers attempt to stop them, not willing to risk the lives of children in a possible battlefield, but Emilia in the HPSC vetoes their decision and has the clones and their allies deployed to Kamino.
Soon enough, the heroes and clones arrive at Kamino and go to war with the Confederacy, overwhelming them with their new weapons such as the Juggernaut and their replacements for the V19 and the Z-95, being the V-Wing and the ARC-170 respectively, and cutting down the droids and villains in droves. The battle is long and bloody, and it ends with Izuku being rescued, the Confederacy leadership escaping, and All Might and All for One go to town on each other, their duel so much more bloody than in canon, and ending with the two of them killing each other.
In the aftermath of Kamino, the clones are once more lauded as heroes and placed in higher positions of power, and the Japanese Diet begin footing a bill to nationalise the clone army into part of the Japanese Self-Defence Force. Emilia uses her influence in the HPSC and newfound popularity for her actions during the Kamino event to overthrow the current president and place herself in command of the organisation. With her new power, Emilia approaches Izuku once more and tells him of what the Diet plan to do, and tells him that he has two choices: he can either let the Japanese Government nationalise the clone army and let them do whatever they want with it, or he willingly joins with the JSDF beforehand and allow himself to still hold all the cards.
Izuku chooses to join the JSDF.
With his decision, the clone army and the JSDF merge into one entity, becoming the Grand Army of Japan, and giving them the legal power to begin arresting and detaining villains and suspected Confederacy sympathisers and collaborators. With new terror incidents occurring all across the Asian peninsula thanks to the wider reach of the Villain Confederacy, the local heroes and authorities unable to stop them and their militaries neglected, and elements within the World Heroes Association keeping the organisation stunted and bogged down in bureaucracy, the GAJ are allowed access to Japan's neighbours, such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Cambodia.
However, not all is well within Japan, as the clones begin to employ more and more draconian methods of stamping out the Confederates, up to declaring martial law until the war is over and arresting any protest groups that try to speak up against the growing police state. And with their new allies in the HPSC, begin enacting the mass conscription and recruitment of numerous people into the new Japanese military, first beginning with an expansion of Emilia's Elite Squad division, and then beginning Operation: War-Mantle and the creation of the TK Trooper program. Many of those who protested against this were arrested, intimidated, or quietly silenced by Emilia's personal squadron.
Meanwhile, tensions would begin to arise within U.A. itself, as whilst the former objectors to the clones hadn't left, many more were beginning to feel threatened by the growing militarism that was being exhibited by the students, and disturbed more by the brutalism that the Protectors were teaching them, as well as how many of the more prominent students would now be guarded by a new Clone Commando unit known as the Imperial Royal Guard. Many more would be disturbed by Izuku, as the once kind boy begins to grow more brutal himself, and begin employing darker methods to protecting Japan and its people from the Confederacy.
Not only that, but divisions would arise within the clones themselves, as while most of them would remain loyal, there would be a growing number of them that would begin to question their orders.
The Covert Ops would remain busy.
In the meantime, a small group of students and clones would come together in hushed protest of the growing imperial state and form the Declaration of 2000, in which many heroes and governmental officials would quietly sign as well, which would be a demand for Emilia, Izuku, and the clones to relinquish their powers once this war with the Villian Confederacy was over.
Things would come to a head during the clones' battles with the Confederacy's allies in the Shie Hassakkai, who had been trafficking drugs and children to the Confederates for a profit. When Izuku finds out the experiments that Overhaul had been conducting on Eri, he becomes so enraged at it, that he orders Overhaul and all his men lined up and executed for their crimes.
This begins the split between the clones and the heroes, as many agencies that had once been friendly to the clones begin to distance themselves from them, only to find their funding being cut by the HPSC and their assets redistributed to the GAJ. At the same time, Eri would be brought back to U.A., and although she is grateful of being rescued from Overhaul, she is frightened by the attitude of Izuku and the students around him.
At the same time, one of Emilia's Elite Squad Troopers would leak the entire list of the Delegation of 2000 to her, and she would start using her contracted thugs to begin intimidating and quietly threatening everyone on it, and even silencing a few of them if she had to.
Meanwhile, one clone by the name of Cut would find love in a fellow student named Suu, and the two of them would plan to run away to France, Suu's home country, together. However, he would be hunted down by the Covert Ops Troopers, and would only just be saved by the Bad Batch, a squad of Clone Commandos that deserted from the army upon surviving their own encounter with the Covert Ops, and have become part of an movement helping clones being hunted by the Covert Ops for thinking for themselves, as well as any former heroes and civilians facing persecution, escape the army and Japan via an underground railroad.
Then, suddenly, the Villain Confederacy attack, only this time they target Izuku specifically.
They target his family. They target his mother.
They kill her.
This sends Izuku over the edge. With no more responsible authority figures around him to hold him back, and with Emilia only encouraging his darker, more militaristic tendencies, Izuku, and his allies, clamp down harder on Japan and the surrounding countries in an attempt to weed out the Villain Confederacy, and Emilia begins to have the people who signed the Delegation of 2000 arrested, forcing many of them to go into hiding.
And then, Emilia comes to Izuku with a proposal:
Overthrow the current Japanese government, dismantle hero society through the GAJ, and establish a new imperial state across not just Japan, but all surrounding countries as well.
Izuku accepts, and embraces his darker nature.
The coup is launched on the same day that the Villain Confederacy is defeated once and for all in Jaku. Izuku would design a new variant of clone known as the Purge Troopers, and would send them along with Emilia's Elite Squad Troopers to governmental buildings across the country. In a single night, and with the fervent support of the people, the civilian administration and ruling body of Japan would be replaced by a new imperial government, with Izuku, Emilia, and their allies at its head, with a reach that would spread out to almost the entirety of Asia and beyond.
The people of Japan would celebrate the end of the war and the beginning of a new era of peace, and the new Imperial Army would busy themselves destroying Confederate holdouts and rebellious heroes.
However, as many once formerly heroic U.A. students would become some of the top Imperial agents, many others would be disgusted at what hero society has transformed into and gp into hiding, fearful of what happens to those who desent against the state.
And within the Imperial Army itself, whispers of rebellious thoughts begin to gather around the clones as rumours of Emilia's true identity circulate.
And some clones that have gone to ground have figured out the truth.
Emilia Karn and T'ad are the same person, and she had been able to supply the villains with the droid army through a quirk that was almost identical to Izuku's.
And her real name isn't even Emilia Karn or T'ad. It is Emerie Karr...
And her designation is CT-0002, one of the first clones that Izuku had produced.
The war is now over...
And a Clone Rebellion is beginning.
Kudos to CT_2864_Clone_1853034 and Lanterna_Eternal for giving me the idea of making this recursive piece of idea, thanks a lot.
