The lights had gone out, indicating that everyone had finally gone home. Letting out a sigh of relief, Izuku changed from his cat form to that of his true self.

He was approximately the same height as the high schoolers, about 5ft tall. His hair was as white as the snow, with a set of charcoal black horns jutting out from the sides of his head. Crimson red markings were carved into his flesh, tracing their way over a majority of his body.

'Hmmm. What's this?' Izuku thought. There was a weird sensation emitting from his stomach. It felt like there was a rope of some description slowly tightening around his waist.

'Probably Nezu or Aizawa testing their blood bond.' He reasoned, though it did little to ease his nerves. He had been around for a long time. He didn't like new things.

The sensation suddenly got stronger. Much stronger. And before he knew it, he was getting dragged into the dream realm.

The area he landed it was surrounded in a near fog-like mist, making it difficult to see. However, the sounds of a women screaming in sheer terror echoed all around him.

'What the actual fuck is going on?'

Izuku began walking through the fog, determined to find the source of the screams, and potentially find the one who dragged him here.

After several minutes, or hours of travel Izuku came across the only substance to this realm.

A gigantic chasm stretched out in front of him, dividing the landscape in half. The chasm itself was filled with demons, much like Izuku himself. They screamed in an incoherent rage as they tried to claw their way to the top.

On the far side of the chasm was an astounding sight. All of the Angels had gathered together, their radiance burning him even from that distance. However, there was something quite strange in the way the Angels were positioned. It looked as if they were shielding with their wings, a secret they wanted to keep hidden from everyone, including the Father of All.

On Izuku's side of the chasm was the complete opposite. The Seven Lords of Hell all stood shoulder to shoulder, adorned in their armors of old. It looked as if they were preparing for war. And in front of the Lords of Hell was a single man, shrouded in darkness.

Thousands of demons streamed in from behind the Lords, pouring into the chasm.

'They intend to bridge the gap with my kind.' Izuku realized. Once that was done then they would be free to walk the Earth once more and then it was only a matter of time before they marched against the Heavens once more.

"It truly is an ugly sight isn't it?" A familiar voice asked, appearing at Izuku's side.

The demon spun around in fright, and found himself face to face with the first ever murder.

"Cain, what are you doing here?" Izuku asked.

"Same thing as you I guess. Something summoned me here and I guess I can see why." Cain replied. "I wonder though, what's on the other side?"

And without so much of a warning, Cain leapt into the chasm, dissapering amongst the endless swarm of sin.

Izuku did not know for how long he stood there watching as his kind continued to walk forward. Some he recognized, others he did not.

And then he saw something he never thought he'd ever see. A mortal marching with the army of Hell. This man was freakishly tall, muscles larger then Izuku's head. The black flames that licked his body seemed familiar, though Izuku couldn't tell why.

"I am better, I am stronger..." The man muttered under his breath, pausing at the chasm's edge. Then like everyone else, he toppled forward and fell in.

Izuku couldn't explain what happened in that exact moment. As the man toppled forward, Izuku launched himself towards him and tried catching him. Unfortunately, they both fell. Izuku grabbed the flamming man mid-fall and whilst using all if his demonic strength, threw him back up onto the ledge.

Then Izuku hit the grey mass beneath him, and sunk right to the bottom.
