Chapter Text
Normal POV
It was a late sunny afternoon in U.A., and Izuku Midoriya aka Deku was done with his classes for today and went back to the Heights Alliance dorm where the other 1-A students are already there. Upon opening the entrance door, he steps inside and takes off his red sneakers. He holds them with one hand and walks in the living room, coming across some of his classmates sitting on the couch: Momo Yaoyorozu was reading a book, Kyoka Jirou was listening to some music on her headphones, Denki Kaminari and Eijiro Kirishima were playing video games, and Hanata Sero was watching them.
“Hi guys!” Izuku called out.
Momo looked up from her book and gave him a small smile. “Welcome back, Midoriya.”
Jirou looks at Izuku, and gives him a thumbs up and a smile.
“Sup, ’Zuku!” Denki said, eyes still focused on the game.
“I just got back after my private training. Now I’m about to head to my room and rest.”
“Alright, man,” Kirishima replied.
As Izuku was walking, his rival Katsuki Bakugou walked past him, his expression being the usual, aloof or sullen.
“Hi, Kacchan.”
“Piss off, nerd.”
Izuku just smiles back, ignoring the insult, and heads up to his room. He opens the door and steps inside, setting his sneakers near the bedpost. He looks at the All Might memorabilia all around the room and smiles to himself; it felt like yesterday when the #1 Hero had given him the Quirk, “One for All.” And now, he’s a part of the heroes. It was like living in a dream.
But now, he’s ready to have some dreams as he crashes on the bed and drifts off to sleep.

??? POV
In another reality, it was very dark but there were many sounds that were heard in the darkness.
“Are you sure about this?” A young female voice was heard. It sounded like she was uncertain of what they were going to do.
“Of course!” Another voice was heard, but it was a male. He sounded a bit older and very tranquil. “After all, it was ordered by the Master himself.”
“I hope so…”
“Why do you say that?” Another female voice was heard, but she sounded a bit older and more confident.
“Because it just seems so, I don’t know, wrong…”
“Well, if anything goes wrong, we’ll inform the Master about it, okay?”
“...alright.”
“I hope you are ready as well, bro.”
“Mhm…” Another voice answered the older man, but it sounded like a younger one.
“Alright then. Let’s get started!”
A loud tap was heard and everything went white.

Normal POV
Izuku Midoriya slowly opens his eyes and yawns. He gets out of bed and heads into the bathroom to shower. Once he is finished, he gets dressed and heads down for breakfast, meeting up with his classmates.
“Good morning, everyone,” he greeted.
“Good morning, Deku!” Ochako Uraraka said with a smile. She was eating her breakfast along with the others.
“Hey, Izuku,” Kirishima said. “I just found this strange box near the front door. I don’t know what it was, but it says it’s for you.”
“What?” Izuku walked to the front door and found a silver box. On top of it was a note taped to it that said, “For Izuku Midoriya. Do not open until you gather everyone.”
“Huh, strange,” he muttered. He takes the box and heads over to the kitchen, calling to everyone. “It says that I’m not supposed to open until we are all gathered together. I guess once we are all done, we can check it out.”
After 45 minutes of breakfast, everyone gathered in the living room, and Izuku stood in front of them.
“So, what’s inside the box?” Mina Ashido asked.
“I don’t know,” Izuku said, checking the box, “but we’re about to find out.”
He opened the box and inside was a gemstone with flowing rainbow colors. Everyone was astonished by its colors.
“Oooh, it’s so pretty!” Mina awed.
‘It looks so valuable! Like it is worth a fortune!’ Ochako thought, as she too felt a sense of awe towards the gem.
Izuku picks up the gem and looks closely at it. Though, that was a bad idea as it shined brightly into his eyes.
“Aah!” he cried out, temporarily blinded and causing him to drop the gemstone. Once it hits the ground, it shatters and the pieces melt into puddles of black paint/ink. They move together and merged into one large puddle, but it continued to gradually grow.
“Uh, what’s happening?” Momo asked.
Izuku regains his eyesight and sees that the black inky puddle is now a large pool as it spreads across the room. Everyone backs away. Bakugo, however, grabs a portion of the ink to blast it away, but as soon as he touches it, his hand gets stuck.
“What the hell?! What is this?!”
Then, in a few seconds, the black goop crawls up to Bakugo’s body and it quickly consumes him completely. Everyone gasped in horror.
Then the large wave of paint briefly forms into the shape of a dragon’s head and roars. The students reacted in terror and began to run, but they were quickly caught by the ink monster, absorbing each of them in its liquid body.
Izuku was the only one left and he ran away, with the wave of paint chasing after him. Unfortunately, he looked behind him to see one wave of paint gushing out of the sections of the dorms and towards him. He looks at another section to see another paint wave coming, followed by another, and another. Soon, the whole portion of the building was filled with paint, blocking any means of escape.
Izuku yelps and covers his body as the waves of paint swallow up their last victim and his body was swimming around in a field of many colors. It was too much for him to handle and soon, his vision went black.
