Hanta landed on the snow, as he, Ochaco, Kyoka, Mashirao, and Toru had reached the end of the tunnel Izuku went through. "Out of the jungle and into the mountains..." He looked out to the area, holding his tape. They had used it as a harness to get down, and once they saw Izuku was gone, they assumed he arrived here.

"At least our Quirks still work," Toru pointed out to them. "That could've been awkward..."

"Maybe Midoriya took care of the issue," Mashirao theorized while looking over to her.

"He can tell us, but we've gotta find him first," Ochaco glanced around up ahead, seeing no signs of him. "I hope he was able to find Mido too, there's no way of telling where she could've gone." And unfortunately, they still couldn't use their phones or their communicators to contact him or their other classmates. Once they had entered the fortress, Dark Might ensured that they wouldn't be able to call each other...

Suddenly, the snow sunk further into the mountain, catching them off guard. All of them then fell through another tunnel, screaming in alarm as they had no way to stop themselves. A panel opened up somewhere to shoot them out along with the snow, and above them was the golden All Might statue. "What is this?" Ochaco sat up in confusion, looking around.

"Where the heck are we now?" Hanta wondered...as up ahead was Anna with the woman wearing the big hat. She turned to see them, a smirk on her lips.

"Hello, children..."


Back in the dungeon area, Katsuki and his team were still being watched. Although none of them were anywhere to be found strangely enough. The Gollini man sighed in boredom, assuming that they were dead even though he didn't see this happen. "I guess none of those kids are going to make it to my inner sanctum. And here I was looking forward to showing off my costume." His eyes widened as behind him, a huge explosion went off. He yelped as he turned around, unable to see anything but smoke.

"Are you the final boss here?" Katsuki demanded, revealing himself and the others perfectly fine.

"You made a shortcut?! You think you can break the rules and ruin my game?!" The man stood up in alarm. "This is disgraceful player behavior!"

Katsuki simply removed the pin from his gauntlet as he glared. He fired off a huge fiery explosion this time, moving down his hand once he was done. "Yeah? I'm a walking cheat code who's gonna be real mad if you don't tell me where Izuka is."

"Who...?" The man groaned out, Katsuki firing off again at his face and he yelped in pain. "I-I don't know who that is!" He cried out while suffering some third-degree burns.

"Don't lie," Katsuki narrowed his eyes furiously. "Short, cute girl with green hair, dressed like me! The one that the All Might imposter wants to surpass? Now tell me where she is before I blow you all the way to hell!"

Mina, Rikido, Koji, and Eijiro all stared at him in a bit of terror for him essentially torturing the man...Fumikage slowly shook his head in disapproval. A portal appeared seconds later underneath the man and he screamed as he fell. They all stared in confusion, knowing that it wasn't from Izuka. There had been no trace of her ever since she got lost, and even then, she wouldn't use her power like that against anyone. She tended to only use her portals on herself so that she didn't endanger anyone else if she was unfamiliar with an area. And they couldn't forget the fact that she said so herself that she couldn't use her Quirk before she got lost from them.

"Bravo, children!" Dark Might announced from the cameras in front of them, clapping. "But that was just the first act of the show." More golems appeared from the walls, surrounding the group. All of them prepared themselves.

"Do your worst, extras," Katsuki challenged all of them, gritting his teeth. If he could, he would blast Dark Might right about now...


Meanwhile, the flying fortress was still giving off light in the real world, heading towards somewhere.

Izuku woke up, a bruise on his cheek. He opened his eyes, seeing that he was near the brick road again, and seemed to be hanging upside down. "You guys are finally awake." He gasped from the voice, seeing himself tied to the back of the bike. Likewise, Izuka was tied up in front of him. The boy glanced around rapidly, realizing what happened as he remembered the punch.

"Is this really necessary?" Izuka murmured towards the man, though then again, they posed a threat to him earlier.

"Wow, you must've saved our lives back there. I-" Izuku let out a small groan as the hit still hurt. "Thanks a lot."

"Are you okay?" Izuka glanced up at her brother, grunting a little from moving her mouth.

"Just a scratch. He really did a number on you, though," He frowned towards the red mark on her jaw.

"Mm," She winced in pain as it kinda hurt to talk.

"Oh, yeah. I'm Izuku Midoriya. But my hero name is Deku," Izuku finally introduced himself to the man. With everything that had happened, they didn't have time to go over names...

"Izuka Midoriya, his big sister," She felt like because he helped save them, she at least owed him her name. "My hero name is Callista."

"Giulio. Giulio Gandini," He responded while still looking up ahead.

"Great to meet you, Giulio," Izuku gave him a grateful smile. "Thanks again."

"...Yeah, thank you," Izuka looked away, wincing again from her hurt jaw. Katsu's definitely not going to like seeing this when we meet up again...I hope he's okay. He must be really mad after I got separated from them...

"I didn't save you out of good will," Giulio revealed, causing Izuka to look back towards him. "I sensed that you two could be useful to me."

"Still happy to be alive," Izuku remarked, and Izuka gave him a blank look.

"I wouldn't be so right about now, but whatever." She remarked, closing her eyes.

"Deku? That's an unusual name," The man changed the subject, referring back to the hero name. "Even Callista isn't as bad."

Izuku gave a small chuckle, used to that reaction by now. "Yeah, but I like it."

"Ignoring that last part...it just fit, you know? Let's just say I get a lot of inspiration and courage from someone really important to me," Izuka had a small smile, remembering all the times Katsuki inspired her to be stronger, on purpose or not. Izuku let out a little knowing chuckle, glad that Katsuki had helped her change so much. The Izuka sitting in front of him now was far different from how she was when she started UA.

Giulio then glanced back at the two curiously. "You said you're twins, right? How come you don't act like it? It's almost as if you're complete strangers to each other sometimes."

The two blinked at him pointing it out as Izuka closed her eyes, looking up towards the ceiling. "It's...not something I wanna talk about," She admitted after a few seconds.

Izuku cleared his throat awkwardly. "Let's just say...that it's a long story."

"How come? Don't you consider yourselves close?" Giulio looked back up ahead.

"Well, uh..." The two stated in unison, faltering as they glanced at each other briefly. They didn't even know how to answer the question. Because they were close in the past, but now, with Izuku's actions being fresh in their minds...it was still a weird transition from trying to act as civil as possible to trying to have that closeness again.

Giulio drove out into the open before they could answer, thankfully, because they could see the city closeby. "Am I seeing things? There's an entire city here?" Izuku looked up ahead in shock.

"I was in an amusement park before I came across you, and we were in the mountains before. I don't think it's that unbelievable. This is all from one Quirk?" Izuka furrowed her eyebrows as she stared. Not that she doubted one Quirk had unfathomable power, because Galaxy or One for All were obvious examples. But the ability to create an entire illusion of places...she really didn't know how someone like Dark Might didn't come to fruition until now.

"Curious," Giulio murmured as he looked up ahead. They blinked at him and saw that he was looking to the All Might golden statue.


They followed it, and came across all the unconscious people surrounded by rose petals. "No...what happened?" Izuku muttered at the sight in front of him, having no idea what could've caused all of this...

Izuka gasped in horror as some of their own classmates were part of the group as well. "OCHACO! MOMO!" She cried out with fear as she ran forward towards the latter.

Izuku bent down to the brunette, holding her by the shoulders. "Uraraka! Talk to me!" She didn't respond, turning her head away. "Did something knock her out?"

His sister bent down to Momo, shaking her lightly. "Momo? Momo!" The girl shouted and then blinked at the petals as she recognized them. "Those...flowers...aren't they the same as before?" She whispered, remembering the effect Anna had on Izuku when he tried to grab her hand. Izuka then looked up, her eyes shaking as she saw their other classmates, who were in the same state. "I-Izuku..."

He looked up to see the others in the same state. "Everyone? Who did this?" The boy demanded as Izuka ran over to him. She glanced back at the people with a sad expression on her face. Ochaco was the same as everyone else; they weren't waking up.

"They were incompatible with my lady's Quirk. The feedback caused them to pass out," Giulio informed, getting their attention.

"What are you talking about?" Izuku remembered the woman from before as well. "Anna. That was her name?"

"Yes. Ms. Anna Scervino," He answered, causing the girl to look up. She glanced towards her brother, recognizing the name as Paulo said it earlier.

"Hold on...what are you saying?" She looked back towards Giulio.

"What does her Quirk have to do with this?" Izuku couldn't help but wonder.

"Well-"

A scream was heard, and they looked towards the source. Mashirao was being touched by the hand by Anna, rose petals flying around him. They ran over just as he passed out in front of the women.

"Ojiro!" Izuku cried out in worry.

"What?" Izuka opened her mouth with disbelief over what just happened.

"Ms. Anna!" Giulio yelled, but she didn't respond to it at all.

"Lovely," The woman with the hat walked up, noticing them. "I didn't expect fresh specimens."

"Specimens?" Izuku furrowed his eyebrows at the word.

"Dark Might said that too during his call with All Might," Izuka gritted her teeth knowingly. "That's what he referred to everyone else as."

"Those compatible with Ms. Anna's Quirk are turned into soldiers...against their will," Giulio clarified for the twins.

"Yes," The woman gave a small smile. "It's a great honor to serve under Dark Might, the new symbol. He has a place for everybody," She gestured to all the people in the line, as well as those unconscious. "Even those who flail before Anna can still be of use to him. My Quirk will see to that."

After hearing this, Giulio immediately pointed his rifle at the woman. "I take it you're using your ability to brainwash Ms. Anna?"

"It's not brainwashing," The woman responded, placing an arm around Anna. "She's simply watching a pleasant dream play out. Under normal circumstances, I can transfix one person at a time. But since I'm compatible with our little flower here, I can make large groups of people have beautiful dreams simultaneously." The twins glanced at the group of people, still confused on how the woman's Quirk played a part. "Don't worry. I'm not going to leave the three of you out. See for yourself. Welcome to my world," Her eyes flashed red, causing all three to gasp sharply as they started to fade away, unable to stop what was happening...
