Chapter 11 - Chapter 10 - Meanwhile on Earth...

Who is more dangerous when angered, Spiderman or Superman?

————————————————————————

In the abyssal hierarchy of the Infernal Realms, Ahzrak stood alone. He was the Prince of Hell. He was the future successor of infinite realm. Born in the shadowed pits of Hell's blackest citadel, Ahzrak grew not in sinew but in dread knowledge gleaned from dark priests.

However, it had all came to a halt when the Slayer had bested him in combat and brutally killed him.

Miraculously, he came back to life, and even felt stronger. He didn't know how it happened, but it was better not to ask questions when something had brought him back to life. He would take his time thoroughly planning his next steps.

Things...unfortunately did not go to plan as he never in his wildest dreams would come face to face with the Slayer yet again. He had built precautions. He had made countermeasures to stop the rumoured killer of the denizens of Hell. And yet, here he was standing in front of him, with the same familiar dark green suit. The same familiar dark black cape.

It was him. The Doom Slayer.

But it wasn't possible. After being revived from his death, the High council of Hell had told him explicitly that the unchained predator had vanished. There was no sight of him at all. But there were rumours of another being destroying their troops.

Of course, he had placed upon him millions of demons to try and stop him, but all of which ended in vain as they all fell by his hand. The new Slayer was starting to cause the fear that the previous Slayer had once wrought.

This was not good for him.

"I really cannot rule as King...so long as you are the only thing they fear..." Ahzrak stated as he summoned his blood spear to combat the Hellwalker.

Izuku responded back by cocking his shotgun and readied his saw-implemented shield. It truly has been a long time since then. Since he left the divinity chamber. Since he became an Immortal. Time really flies as he began from a little squirt 15 year old to a few billion years old entity scourging his way through the infinite realm of Hell.

===============================

(3 billion years back in Hell)

A few hours had passed by as he finally started to blink his eyes open. His head was ringing with a mechanical voice as it was being stretched across his mind. He finally shook his head and looked up as he glanced at the divinity chamber around him.

"Slayer, the process of taking in the essence of the Father in now complete. Welcome, to Godhood."

It finally hit him that he became essentially, a God. 

He didn't say much. In fact...he tried to speak.

"The pain had reached critical levels for you as you screamed so much that you vocal chords had ripped."

News to him, he supposed.

With the powers of a God, he could heal himself if he wanted to, or he could go back to the cave to fix his vocal problems.

He chose not to. He decided that from now on, his actions will speak for himself.

With that he took a step forward out of the chamber, but was surprised when he was already outside the chapel of purity and in fact...a few miles away from Taras Nabad.

He looked back at the trail he left behind as dust was moving all over the place. Shaking his head annoyed, he controlled his speed at a frightening level of adaption and headed back to the Chapel with a relatively normal pace. It took him about 2 minutes before he came back inside the Chapel of Purity.

"It seems you have gotten the hang of the speed. Might I suggest, you test all further enhancements made to your body as you will need time to adjust to the—"

Izuku punched the Divinity machine with relative ease, destroying the entire mechanism. He knows no one will ever come here but just for safety precautions, he will be the only one to ever use such a thing and he doesn't want anyone to know about it. Hell or Human.

"...I stand corrected," VEGA voiced out as if being impressed by his level of strength being controlled, "Slayer if you could please take a look to your left. It seems there has been some physical changes to you."

He raised an eyebrow but turned left to see a reflective mirror bouncing a light at him, but he was a little startled by his appearance.

He looked young again. Not the middle-aged man from before. He looked like he was back in his 20s again, maybe younger? No that it mattered. However he knew that if he entered a beauty competition for the males category he would've been sure to win.

Everything about his face, to his body was enhanced. The rough yet delicate element to his skin, with his eyes a stark green. His hair however had undergone a colour change. Well sort of.

His hair turned black with some root tips of his hair being a shade of dark green, 'I also need a haircut...'

His body was sculpted like a God. His veins ran like cords over his forearms, his shoulders broad and powerful. He was muscular. Not the bodybuilder or strongman muscular, but a well-defined, lean, athletic physique.

He was also tall. Very tall. Izuku put his arm up to his forehead and measured himself. From before when he was 6 foot, to now which he was...he didn't know.

He looked to VEGA's core as he put propped his hand to his forehead, indicating what his height was, "Slayer you currently stand at 6'8" tall or 203cm in height."

He nodded his head up slightly, acknowledging him as he walked back to the console and just as he was about to take VEGA's core out he stopped him, "Slayer."

He paused, knowing that anything VEGA says will help, "There is something hidden in the back walls of the Chapel of Purity. I suggest you break them down and have a look inside."

He raised an eyebrow but nodded as he gathered all his essential's, put back on his green t shirt and pants, before walking to the back walls of the Chapel. Once he reached he held back quite a bit as he punched a hole through, causing debris to fly everywhere and and dust kicking up. Not that he minded as he walked in to see what VEGA wanted him to look for.

To his surprise...there was an armour in a sarcophagus. More specifically, a suit. It mostly had a dark green colour to it, with hints of black and dark bronze added. The helmet also had a more knightly look to it with a dark visor to look through.

The shoulders, forearms and leg plates had spikes all over, yet neatly placed. Under all of it was a chainmail which he guessed was to make it a little more comfortable to wear such an armour. There was also a dark red circular...port? sticking out of the chest plate on the left side.

"That...is the Praetor Suit. It is a nearly impenetrable material of armour, made by a being known as the Wretch. No one knows who this being was, but it made the first set of suits for the Previous Slayer. Please try it on." VEGA advised as Izuku was still looking at it with a sudden gleam of interest.

He started attaching all the plates together and when he finally put everything under his head on, the helmet remained in his hand. He turned it around and slowly placed it on his head.

Standing up straight he gazed around the room as he then looked at his hands, slowly clenching and unclenching them as he broke in the suit. He walked around repeating the motions around his body before it had felt as though it was fully integrated with him.

As he paced around the room, his gaze fell upon a dark cloak of fur hanging on the side. he picked it up looking it at, stretching it out a little to see if it was compatible with him.

It was.

He was finally done here, as he walked out of the Chapel of Purity through the front gates as he flicked the dark fur cloak around him and locking it in his back.

He had almost completely took everything now.

Almost...

There was one last thing he needed before being complete.

The handle. The one shot killer. 

the Crucible.

Fortunately for him, VEGA who was previously in his core processing unit, had now transferred into the Suit as his personal AI, "Slayer, the Crucible is located in a Titan found in the inner layers on Taras Nabad. To restore its power, you must then head into the main church where the covenant of argent energy is. This Argent energy is mixed with the forces of Hell's energy combined withit."

He nodded as he went towards the Titan that fell in battle against the previous Slayer as he climbed up to its chest and took out the Crucible's handle, leaving the blade of Argent wedged in. After which he headed towards the main church in Taras Nabad where he first found the medallion a while back and enountered the pool of energy. With relative ease, Izuku placed the Crucible into the pool and slowly brought it back out. This time with the sword being formed.

He is now in possession of the Demonic Crucible.

There was however, a switch which confused him. Pressing it, the form of the sword diminished as the crucible grew longer and out formed a two sides with a blunt area of fire red Argent Energy.

"Slayer, with this you can now switch between the Crucible's sword form and to its Hammer form." VEGA voiced out.

Impressed by it all, he switched it off and placed it in his dimensional storage. As he headed back, his resolve strengthened even more to kill of all the demons.

"With this, everything has been completed in the Slayer's arsenal. You also have the choice to head back to the Human world. Will you choose to go? Or stay here and finish all of Hell off?"

He didn't answer, but his actions spoke for his words.

He took out his Super Shotgun and loaded it. Ready to kill.

===============================

As he thought back in his mind, Ahzrak was still trying to land a hit with his spear, but Izuku kept dodging with relative ease as he could see all his attacks. The Prince of Hell screamed in anger as he conjured a magic ball of electrical black increasing its size to the become the same diameter as a small moon orbiting Jupiter, before throwing it down.

Izuku switched out to the BFG and fired a full powered shot and vapourised the ball of darkness. Ahzrak, in shock, but quickly gritted his teeth as he summoned more equivalent balls of light and threw it at him. Izuku took out his Crucible and switching to the Sentinel Hammer form, he readied the Hammer before striking the balls of Darkness back at the demon causing the surroundings of him to explode and fall down.

"After...all this time...why...I had planned everything...I threw everything at you...and yet...you still win..." he gritted his teeth in pain as he fell to the ground wounded. Izuku slowly walked to him with a massive, metallic, spiked ball connected to a handle by a chain. It was his trusty flail.

"I hope...whoever is in your destructive path...they will destroy yo—" his words were interrupted as Izuku struck down the flail onto Ahzrak's head, causing it to explode on impact. He drew it back, and hit him again. And again. And again.

For good measures though...hit smashed it on his body again as blood splattered everywhere.

"The Demon Prince of Hell, Ahzrak has been killed. Good Job Slayer." VEGA congratulated him as Izuku nodded before walking out of his Fortress.

"All that is left is defeating the Dark Lord. You are more than ready to take him on." VEGA said as Izuku walked though a portal and stepped back into his Cave of Doom. Daisy and the rest of the toys all came out as they were all having a little party for Daisy's 3 billionth birthday. Izuku took his helmet off as he allowed Daisy to climb up onto his shoulder, not minding the spikes.

Daisy nuzzled into his face as Izuku scratched under her chin. The other toys all clapped. Even the Marauder toy, who didn't want to be there, but also started clapping whilst looking away.

Overtime, Izuku had slowly started to like the toys that came to life. Even though they were toys of the demons, he stilled gave them all a chance and also because Daisy should have friends.

This was his life. And he loved it.

(MEANWHILE back on Earth)

Family was a fickle thing. It can be there to help you and support you. It can be there for a shoulder to cry on aid you through rough moments in ones life. In the tapestry of life, family was like a nest of warmth and love and a place where hearts were nurtured along with souls finding peace.

A bond that which connected the different generations by blood and yet fostered by unconditional love and affection. In the vast expanse of possibilities, there were few who did not adhere to this definition.

3 of which were, the Yagi, Todoroki and Bakugou family.

Once close as friends and family, were now separated like strangers all due to a passage of days.

*7 months and 9 days.

219 days.

Since Izuku Yagi had gone missing.

Since that day, no one found where he was. In this happening, there was a divide.

Rei Todoroki, having remembered the small interaction with her nephew, being brief, cried at night with her husband, Enji, as he sat next to her as she wept, "Th-They neglected him...and...we d-did too..."

"It's not your fault Rei...They were his parents...and for goodness sake...All Might...neglecting his own child..." he remembered what happened that particular day when they all came to visit the Yagi household, to reveal All Might to the children.

===============================

(7 months and 9 days back the day Izuku ran)

"AND WE'RE THE NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER SEVEN HEROES!/And we're the number one and number seven heroes!" All Might and Viridian Storm exclaimed to their daughter.

Izumi was in shock. Her parents, were heroes..? And they were not only heroes but the biggest heroes ever?!

This was amazing! She couldn't believe it. She really was destined to be a hero just like her brot—

...Her brother. Izuku.

She shook. Her parents...who were the number one and seven heroes...had neglected Izuku...

The same people that she looked up too and so did Izuku...for a while...they were the same people that...ignored her brother, much like she did. In fact she did worse.

"W-Wait...s-so you guys are heroes...b-but you neglect Izuku...?" she whispered out as it silenced the room.

The once happy family was once again brought to a sorrowful and downcast mood as All Might looked away in shame whilst Inko had tears already built up in her eyes.

"I-Izumi...w-we d-don't know how it happened..." her mother cried out softly as All Might patted her back gently.

He turned to Izumi with a sorrowful look as he started explaining what his quirk was to her and his history with One for All as well as his condition, to which he powered down.

"Why are you telling me all this...?" Izumi was confused.

All Might who was once sad, started feeling a little brighter as he let out a big smile, "Izumi, we don't want you to be jealous of your brother because...we were thinking of giving him the quirk."

Izumi brightened at the idea. Now Izuku would also have a quirk and they would be heroes together! But...he said he never wanted to be a hero in the first place...

"D-Dad...you remember what he said...he didn't want to be a hero...not after...w-what happened the other night..." she mumbled softly as she uncomfortably shifted, still remembering that God awful night.

Toshinori placed a hand on her shoulder comforting her, "I know...We shouldn't rush this. What we've done to him..." he looked back at Inko who also came closer to the duo and hugged the both of them, "...is something my son will never forgive...but...we can't change what we've done..."

"even though I want to so badly..." he muttered to himself sadly.

"Me too..." Inko added ashamed of everything. She was a hero and she couldn't even be there for her son. That wasn't being a hero. That was being cowardly.

"He said he won't come back though...he'll probably come the next day since he said he's at a friends house..." Izumi said but she was also confused. Who could be Izuku's friend. As far as she was concerned, Izuku didn't have many friends.

She and the duo twins made sure of it. She bit inside her lips remembering that.

"It must be that blonde girl from the news..." Inko added softly as she wiped her tears away, "...they looked like they were close..."

"You're right...when I met them at the ambulance after, they did seem to be a little closer after I left," Toshi inputted as he held his chin in thought.

"I may as well call the rest of the families anyway...your friends will be bound to find out about us two anyway," Toshi smiled at Izumi as she nodded with the mood of the house slowly lifting.

Toshi called the Todoroki and Bakugou families for a family sleepover. They may not be tied to eachother by blood, but they were all such close friends that they were all practically brothers and sisters. (Not for the respective husbands and wives)

They were all invited, but Inko wanted to invite her twin brother, Shota Aizawa Shimura. For those wondering, Inko and Aizawa were the daughter and son of Nana Shimura. It was quite the complicated family.

"Sorry can't come. I'm in Nagoya right now," he bluntly spoke.

'That's Shota for you...' Inko thought with a sigh, "Alright but try to drop by tomorrow if you can."

They all came in as the noise instantly grew with the family friends all meeting and having a gathering together.

Enji and Masaru went over to Toshinori as the both of them sat with him. The three dads all had beer in their hands sitting out in the back garden as the stars filled the night sky. It was still a good 11:30pm as the teens and mothers were all inside.

"Why did you really call us over Toshi?" Enji started off bluntly as he drank from his Guinness.

He sighed as Toshi also drank with Masaru looking up to the sky, but also listening, "I'm going to tell the kids that I'm All Might."

Enji turned to him with his eyes furrowed as Masaru asked, "What made you come to this?"

"...I'm planning on telling them all about my quirk and that...Izuku...will be the one to inherit it," he spoke quietly at first, drinking from his beer as he continued, "...I..have...a moral obligation as a father...to do this for him..." he said as he looked down.

Both the dads looked at the Toshinori as flags were being raised, "Toshi...what did you do...?" he asked.

He gulped audibly as he continued, "...I neglected the boy..." he grit his teeth as tears had started to finally brim up, "...I ignored him...ever since he was announced quirkless..."

Enji looked down, "...Number One and Number Two heroes huh...we were both great heroes but in the end...we're just terribly shit fathers..." he spoke regretfully as he referred to his own son, Toya.

Masaru looked at the two as he sighed and focused on his old friend, who revealed himself as a fraud of a father, "...Did you never talk to him? Or did you just completely forget he existed?"

"...." he didn't say anything which confirmed Masaru's words as the latter clenched his fists. Heroes huh? Number One and Number Two. The both of them really are shit.

"Where is he then?" Enji asked quietly.

"He said he was staying at a friends house...I'm not sure where though..." he said looking to the sky as if contemplating his life choices.

"And you just let him go?" Masaru asked.

"I can't really say anything to him...i can't just tell him to not go anywhere when I wasn't even there for him..." Toshi sighed.

"...And what of Inko? Did she take care of him?" Enji asked assuming that her sister-like friend took care of the neglected son of All Might.

Unfortunately, both of them had silence as Toshinori looked away, "Seriously...the both of you...?" Enji stood up slowly.

Masaru already seeing Enji getting mad went in front of him, "Calm down, let's ask Inko and see if that's the case."

Enji looked down at Masaru as he sighed looking at Toshinori with a regretful sneer, "She better not be right...I may have been a shit father to my own son...but you didn't even acknowledge him in the first place..." he said as Enji and Masaru who looked back at Toshi, sighed as he walked inside the house.

Toshinori on the other hand, was looking down the entire time.

The teens were all still upstairs in Izumi's room, with those being present, Shoto and Shoka Todoroki, Katsuki and Katsumi bakugou and Izumi. Katsuki sat on Izumi's bed laying against the backboard as he played with a rubix cube, "Yo Izumi, where's Deku?"

Izumi flinched. They all noticed it instantly.

"U-Uh...well...he's currently at a friend's house..."

"Huh?!" Katsumi exclaimed as she sat next to Izumi, "Deku has no friends! The only people who he had was us...!" she spoke but the more she did, the more..uncertain she sounded.

"I'm sure he's fine...I-I think it'd be better if we left him alone now...I mean...we passed the the entrance test...we should let him do what he wants..." Shoka voiced out somberly.

Shoto only nodded at his sisters words not wanting to speak. He had done Dek— Izuku dirty for a long time. It would be best to stop now and fix what little friendship they had left.

"Tch. Deku can do what he wants. As long as doesn't become a hero, peri—" Katsuki was about to finish but...

SLAM

A sudden sound came from downstairs instantly caught their attention. The noise resounded around the house and just then...sobs were heard.

Izumi knew whose it was and within seconds, was already out of the room as she bolted downstairs with her friends in tow to see Enji looking furious, whilst Inko was caught in her own sea of tears. To their absolute shock and awe, minus Izumi, All Might was standing next to the Todoroki twin's dad, holding his arm to stop him from breaking the table.

"A-All Might..." Katsuki muttered in shock, seeing his favourite hero. But it was overshadowed by the utter look of shame that was plastered on his face. Why...? Why was the number one hero ashamed..? What did he do?

None of them knew what happened.

But Izumi had an inkling as to who it was about.

"Answer the question Inko?! How long have you been neglecting your own son?!" Enji was about to roar, but calmed down as the kids saw him.

"I-I'm sorry...I-I'm so sorry...." Inko whimpered out as she covered her face. It confirmed Enji's fears as Mitsuki and Rei stood up in shock and betrayal. Their sister was neglecting their nephew.

Why...?

"I...I saw him...the day of the sludge villain incident," Rei muttered out, "..he had a look of resignation on his face almost and he didn't speak much..." not wanting her fears to come true.

"Wait where is Izuku right now?" she turned to the teens, "Is he not up there with you?"

They all shook their heads as they all explained that he was currently at a friends house. All Might slowly powered down much to the group of twins shocked at the revelation that, All Might was Izumi and Izuku's father and not just that. They were also told that Viridian Storm was their mother.

Once again, it slammed them into their faces. The number one and seven heroes had...neglected Izuku...

But not only that. Everything was becoming worse. The guilt was eating them inside as they remembered bullying him. Hard at that.

None of them dared to speak about it.

"Fine. We'll wait for him tomorrow. Then we'll ask him. If he says anything true about what happened here..." Enji warned as he looked at Toshinori and Inko as they both looked down.

The next day came as they all waited for him to come back. An hour after 10am went. Then another. Then another. Eventually...

A whole 6 hours had passed and he has not contacted anyone.

By this time, Detective Tsukauchi came by along with a deprived Aizawa, covered in blood. Inko, being his elder sister, went over to him, "Shota, what happened?!"

He waved her off,"There's nothing, I just saved a girl from death is all."

"Goodness, is she alright?" Rei asked worried for the innocent girls life.

"Yeah, it was a blonde girl, name Mary. A good kid...she had a hole blown through her stomach though," Aizawa spoke bluntly, but everyone could tell there was the worrisome hero.

Flags were raised in the house. Most of which, for different reasons.

Rei and Toshinori remember a young blonde girl from the sludge incident.

The teens all remember watching the news seeing Izuku saving a blonde girl.

"This girl...she wouldn't happen to have very long blonde hair and...glasses right? Did she also look a little...korean?" Rei asked even more worried as Aizawa looked confused but nodded.

"My goodness...that girl was with Izuku that day on the Sludge Incident," the first bomb dropped as they all turned to Rei as she explained what happened in detail that day.

"Wait but...Izuku said he went to a friends house...Mary...was...his only friend..." the second bomb was dropped with Izumi's voice of utter concern and a low depth of despair.

"And that girl you saved had a hole in her stomach?! That means Izuku was there?! Let's go! Where was the home at?" Enji stood up as All Might and everyone else did, ready to look for Izuku.

"It was in Nagoya..."

They all paused. Izuku was in Nagoya? That was an hour away from here, but still it didn't matter. Aizawa looked confused about the whole situation, but then started looking at everyone's face.

Tsukauchi, All Might's good friend, went over to him as he looked up in a grim expression, "All Might...we saw footage of it," everyone looked at Tsukauchi as Aizawa also did, "Everyone, I want you to keep this quiet."

"Izuku...had rushed back to Mary's house and at the front gates an orange portal had opened. Then a...a fire like ball went through the girl's stomach, " they all sucked in a breathe, "...and Izuku in the footage...jumped into the portal before closing..."

Inko crashed down to the ground mumbling 'no' to herself as Rei and Mitsuki also went down with her catching her and holding her.

All Might with eyes wide open in shock, couldnt form anything. A portal and Izuku went through. Likely it was for revenge. Damn it what was he doing?!

'What are you doing Toshi...?!' he roared in his mind.

Enji voiced out as he ordered everyone to clear out and sent in a missing person's report. The young boy, known as Izuku Yagi was missing.

No one could find him. They tried to use all their connections, all their assets to find Izuku in ny trace across the planet. They were biggest heroes after all and yet...

1 month passed...

...2 months...3...6...

...and finally 7 months and 9 days had passed since Izuku had went missing. They were put through with many questions about the past few days and eventually had to come clean with the family feud. To say that their opinions on All Might dropping low was an understatement.

However they had tried effortlessly to find him. 

They couldn't. As if...he had vanished from the planet.

===============================

Since that everyone had become almost akin to strangers to one another. All due to one child. 

One missing child, Izuku Yagi. The boy who was neglected...and abused by his family and friends.

Izumi walked through the hallway as she saw Izuku's closed room. She knocked on it softly, "Hey Izuku...I-I'm going to be training with dad today...with your quirk...one for all..." she started off slowly, "It's been...7 months now...please...come back...I'm sorry i was a horrible sister...please..." her tears were starting to fall, but she wiped them quickly.

Heading downstairs, she saw an uneasy sight. Her mother was once again, on the couch cuddling with a small All Might costume. It was Izuku's All Might onesie that he wore back in childhood.

Her mother had never been the same since then. She kept blaming herself for everything. Even for the smallest of things. She would do everything in her power to help people, but it never filled her heart with her son missing. She had slowly dropped in the rankings down to number 9. 

She didn't care though. All she cared about was wanting Izuku back.

'Me too...please Izuku...please brother...come back...'

___

In hell, Izuku was wondering around, when he sneezed. It was the first time he sneezed in a long time

'Someone's talking about me,' he readied his chainsaw, 'They finna get some.'

"Scanning complete. To permanently charge the demonic crucible, you must obtain the Heart of Sin, in the Icon of Sin's original body. It contains self-sustaining demonic energy."

Izuku beckoned him to continue, "By introducing the Bio-Argent conversion core like the Heart of Sin into the crucible, it becomes a self-sustaining conduit, essentially turning the weapon into a parasitic siphon on Hell itself. The Crucible will feed off the very plane of Hell, no longer requiring recharge but at the risk of corrupting the user overtime."

'Hell corrupt me...you wish...' he thought unamused.

"The cost of this method is that the Crucible becomes a cursed object, now bonded to its wielder's soul, feeding you visions of Hell constantly."

He nodded slowly as he locked onto his next target. The Icon of Sin and it's heart.

Guys guess what I got my first 1 star review from a hater that hasn't even read the whole story XD

(*Also guys I did my maths wrong, he will be in hell for roughly 6 billion years so 6 eons. I checked.

So June. 10 months before entrance exam.

10 months later is April. That is when the UA entrance exams are.

This reflection happened 7 months in, so January. so roughly 3 billion years has passed for Izuku.

When Izumi starts UA in June, another 3 billion years will pass in hell which is when he comes back for a certain Arc during the summer. Which means a total of ~6 eons pass when he comes back. So 1 year one month is when he comes back and that will be August.)

I'll just tell you now, he will come back for the I-Island Arc... 

Gimme your thoughts :)
