Chapter 22

Bonus Chapter : Not So Family Friendly

My Hero Acadamia : The Rise of the Memelord

Warning : Lots of unhingeness, cringeness, lack of restraint, gore that you might not see, overzealous democratic gremlins, flag planting, multiversal travel, and a slight hint of genocide.

And guns. Lots and lots of guns.

...

What a way to introduce a new chapter.

Also. I never played Doom, so I apologize if I butcher the storyline or anything.

Also...

THANK YOU EVERONE FOR READING!!! WE ARE PAST 9K VIEWS AND ARE RANKED #3 IN SUPERPOWERS!

Number three in 'superpowers'.

Bruh.

Shrek memes beats Superman.

But anyways, let's Jump right in...

...cause we're going in hot!

Get your popcorn and whatever you call food ready! It's going to be a long one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a place devoid of all things good. A place where those who go there are devoured by the horrors that dragged them there from their home planets. It was a place that you had to to the most unluckiest guy to ever have even come across its existence. Hell. Or as others call it.

Jekkad. The Dark Realm.

No. Not the one from Lego Batman. Or the one underneath your bed.

Once a dimension of beauty, now it was corrupted, and was the home of countless demons.

Was.

Now, it all lay in smoldering ruins. Everything in that dimension was dead.

Dead. Super dead. Like, deader than dead.

In the vast meadows of rocks lay piles of various creatures and monsters. Temples were littered with mutilated corpses of its demonic defenders. In the inner sanctum lay the remains of multiple priests. In the middle of all of this death was one man. Standing there, holding his shotgun, was the Slayer.

One might think the Slayer may have been the one to be responsible for this destruction. But he was not.

Someone else wiped out all things of evil existence in this dimension. A one sided massacre. Doomguy noticed in the distance something that flapped in the blood misty wind.

A single flag. Perched on top a mountain of demon corpses. Towering in the background was the corpse of some sort of giant demon. A walking skyscraper that was felled. It's body was riddled with burns and holes. It's head had been decapitated and placed in front of the body. Almost like as if someone was trying to make art. Doomguy could see it perfectly from the flag. He looked at its symbol. It almost looked like earth.

Doomguy looked around him, surveying the landscape littered with more corpses of demons than sand on a beach. He knew. Someone fought a war here.

And won.

But despite all the carnage and destruction, the Slayer could sense the presence of a powerful being. A being that seemed...familiar...

_____________________________________________

[1 day earlier...]

The Koto Clone Council was having a secret meeting in his secret lair underneath the shed behind Aunty J's house. The room was wide, with a curved table. Chairs lined the outside of the table. On one side of the room was a window. It was a special window, designed specifically for smashing people through. Especially people who gave bad ideas. Sometimes even the people who gave good ones. It was 1:00 AM. It was an emergency meeting. Koto had made a portal gun.

The multidimensional kind.

Koto : "So guys. What should we do with this? There is so many things we could do. We could go into other movies, books, and even games."

Clone #1 : "SpongeBob!"

Koto : "Rejected!"

*Crash*

A robotic arm folded from a hidden compartment in the wall. It fixed a new pane of glass into the window.

Clone #2 : "The Warhammer vs Furry universe?"

Koto : "..."

Clones 3-? : "..."

*Crash*

Koto : "Any other ideas?"

Clone #3 : "Star Wars!"

Clone #4 : "Marvel Cinematic Universe!"

Clone #5 : "Mary Poppins!"

Clone #6 : "That one series with the space cowboy!"

Clone #7 : "Case Closed! The Conan Edagawa one!"

Clone #8 : "Titanic!"

Clone #9 : "Jurassic Park!"

Clone #10 : "Pacific Rim!"

Clone #11 : "Transformers!"

Clone #12 : "Does Minecraft count?"

Clone #13 : "Snow White!"

Clone #14 : "Heck no!!!"

Clone #15 : "Harry Potter!"

Clone #16 : "Batman!"

Everyone got silent and stared at Clone #16.

Clone #16 : "Oh. Sorry. I forgot. Spiderman?"

Clone #17 : "That's probably even worse."

Clone #16 : "Iron Man!"

Clone #18 : "Useless."

Clone #19 : "TMNT?"

Clone #20 : "Cyberpunk 2077!"

Koto : "Ooh. That's good. Aw, man. The tech! But the world sucks! We'll probably actually end up committing murder. And that's bad. We're not bad guys. We're supervillains. Ex supervillains. Besides! That universe is very adult!"

Clone #20 : "But what about Rebecca!?!"

Everyone burst into tears at the mention of Rebecca. Some had even plopped their head down on the table, banging it with their fist in agony.

Clone #11 : "Nooooooo! Rebeccaaa!"

Clone #17 : "She didn't deserve to dieeee!"

Clone #8 : "We gotta save her! And David too! We can't let Lucy be without Daviiiid!"

Clone #19 : "And Songbird!"

Everyone fell out of their seats and groaned in agony at the mention of Songbird. But one of the clones propped himself up.

Clone #14 : "But wait? Didn't she kinda deserve it?"

Koto : "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!"

Clone #14 : "No no no no! WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT! I TAKE IT BAAAAA-"

*CRASH*

Koto and the clones had chucked Clone #14 through the window. Then they all went back to their seats. They were all silent for a few moments.

Koto : "Ok. We can go to the cyberpunk universe and save Rebecca, David, his mom, and So Mi. When we are much older."

Clone #5 : "And kick Kiki in the face! Also give Smasher a couple wacks!"

Everyone : "Yeah!"

Koto slammed his hands on the table.

Koto : "Anyways! Does anyone have another idea? Besides saving everyone in the cyberpunk universe?"

Clone #21 : "What if we invade hell and kill All the demons in the Doom series? We can test our quirk to it's fullest destructive capabilities! And our tech!"

Everyone : "..."

Clone #21 : "..."

*Crash*

Everyone sighed. It was like being at Baskin Robbins. So many different choices, all full of surgery fun.

Koto : "Wait. The Doom thing actually sounds like a good idea. We got the Helldiver memes, holy crusades, holy hand grenades, and American spirit! All in favor!?"

Everyone : "Aye!"

Koto : "For Daisy!"

Everyone : "FOR DAISY!"

Clone #20 : "But wait? How will we fight nearly infinite demons? I mean, when mini boss creates clones, we still have the nanotech, muscle memory, and skills, but clones can't use the meme quirk! How will we kill an entire dimension full of bloodthirsty monsters?"

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Koto : "Well, I can use the Naruto meme to make thousands of clones at once, combined with the superspeed from Sonic using the gotta go fast meme, and a bit Rap God to top it off, I bet I could create trillions of clones in a single second. But then we might have to deal with the fact that the sheer weight of clones might kill me. Death by entity crowding."

Clone #12 "You can go super Saiyan before you do, that way you are practically invincible."

Koto pointed at the clone.

Koto : "Hey! That might work! But it would be so easier if you guys could use my quirk."

Clone #3 : "Our quirk."

Koto : "Our quirk. We've been developing the nanotech more, and we can finally recreate the effects of the quirks of others using their DNA!"

Clone #18 : "USELESS!"

Clone #1 : "Memes are the best!"

All the clones cheered.

Koto nodded.

Koto : "I know, I know! But it's freaking hard to figure out how to share ours! We gotta get to it later. But at least you guys have regeneration, nigh infinite stamina, super strength, speed, inhuman reflexes, thermal and radiation absorption! All from the nanotech in our bodies!"

Clone #20 : "Yeah, but it's boooooring. You have the meme quirk."

Everyone : "Yeah!"

Koto : "OK! I'll figure it out! I have been working on a way to artificially recreate the effects of other people's quirks by analyzing their DNA, then incorporating the data into the nanotech. It will be awesome! Eventually! Anyways, we need resources to fight a nearly infinite army. Any ideas?"

Clone #21 : "Wouldn't it be funny if we like, stole all the tanks from the Russians? And then some?"

Koto : "Someone! Write that down!"

Clone #16 : "Got it!"

Koto : "Any other ideas? I wanna finish this before breakfast."

And so, the night went on.

_____________________________________________

[Later that morning...]

Far into the land of Russia, in the midst of the frozen tundra, was a secret military base. And on this base was a certain general.

General Volkov.

Now the general had been on this base for a while. 20 years to be exact. He had a command of 250 infantry, 50 artillery, and 21 pilots. Why such an army for a small military outpost out in the middle of nowhere?

Because it was one of the largest active storages for Russia's heavy arms vehicles! Mostly tanks. Lots and lots of tanks.

And one nuke.

Supposedly.

Now something woke up the general late at night. He couldn't think of what it could be, but his life had been practically grafted to the base's operations. His body could feel the difference between the slightest vibrations and Volkov knew what would be able to cause the painted brick walls of the compound. Whether it was an incoming plane, a convoy of trucks and tanks, or someone walking up the stairs. He flicked the light switch into the on position.

The lights wouldn't turn on.

Not a problem. He'll just have to get one of the on-site electricians to deal with it. That's what he was thinking, but his gut grew more and more uncomfortable. It was starting to get distressing. Something was very, very wrong.

He turned on a radio. It wouldn't even whisper static. He bolted out of his room, not without donning some pants and grabbing a jacket first. Papers scattered as he vaulted over his desk and burst through his bedroom door. He came out into the hallway and ran towards the emergency exit. It was the lack of illumination from even the emergency lights that his fear was confirmed. EMP.

They were under attack.

General Volkov hit the door with a crash. Not even the fire alarm tripped. He ran down the stairs, even riding on the rail to save time. He opened another door that led to a fire escape on the outside of the building overlooking the central area. He opened the door and looked down at the base. The clamor practically smacked him in the face.

It was chaos.

Everyone was scrambling to defensive positions. Some people even got a couple lights to work using electric quirks, only for them to fizzle out. Gunners were on the walls and pointing their mounted machine guns away from the base and towards any potential enemy that might suddenly appear from the darkness.

General Volkov shouted to get their attention. After a minute of screaming himself hoarse, they finally noticed him and saluted. He had their attention.

General Volkov : "What the hell happened?!?"

One of the step forward. It was one of his officers.

Officer : "We were hit by a powerful EMP! Our electronics were fried, and our radios! We have no communication with the outside! The direction of the surge was omni-directional, which means that it hit us on all sides. We're surrounded."

General Volkov looked at his mechanical watch for the time.

3:45 AM.

The watch also had a small compass, peeking behind the thin hands of the watch. The General noticed a small detail. The compass pointed south west, instead of the north side of the base. Strange.

The General swiftly descended the rest of the fire escape. When his boots hit the ground, he could feel a slight vibration beneath his feet, which was also odd, considering there was no longer anything in the base that functioned. Not even the gasoline generators were working.

The General jogged across the middle of the compound and up the stairs into the machine gun nests on the south west corner. He spoke to the gunner.

Genera Volkov : "See anything unusual?"

Gunner : "No. It's quiet. Not even the wind is blowing."

The General nodded. He looked at his watch again. 3:50 AM.

But something caught his eye. It was his compass again. This time it was pointing in the opposite direction. Northeast.

The General continued looking at his compass, walking along the wall. The compass needle changed directions. It seemed to always point towards the center of the compound. The General kept his watch out, going down the steps onto the frozen ground. He walked towards the center. The needle began spinning around in circles once the General reached the center. It seemed like the very ground was humming beneath his boots.

Volkov called one of his officers.

Officer : "Yes, General?"

General Volkov : "Officer Vlad. What is beneath our feet."

Officer Vlad : "Uh, tanks sir. We keep them in the warehouse bunker. Helps to keep them from frosting. It's fortified, so the levels won't collapse from the weight."

General Volkov : "I know that. But that's not what I'm getting at. Did any of you think to check the storage to see if there were any that may be of use if we are attacked?"

The officer shifted.

Officer Vlad : "Yes sir! But we couldn't get the doors open. The controls were fried."

General Volkov : "Hmm. Perhaps you can open them from the other side."

Officer Vlad : "I wouldn't know, general."

General Volkov : "Then...find out."

Volkov had said that last phrase closer to the officer's face. The officer kept his cool, saluted, then scurried off. Volkov sighed. He pulled out a cigar and tried to light a match. After failing a few times, he put the matchbox away and held out his thumb below the cigar. His thumb glowed and the tip of it ignited, like a candle wick. He lit his cigar with his thumb flame. He inhaled, and puffed a perfect 'O' shape.

A few moments later, the officer ran up to the general. Distressed. He saluted as his body heaved with each breath.

Officer Vlad : "General! Something terrible has happened! The tanks! They're gone!"

The Volkov coughed.

General Volkov : "Gone?! What do you mean, gone!?!"

Officer Vlad : "It's really dark down there, but I believe all the tanks our gone! And in the middle of it all was a strange device! It looks like a....like some sort of heating lamp, but glowing with blue light and making lots of noise. I think it's some sort of emitter."

The General tossed his cigar as he started jogging.

General Volkov : "Well don't just stand there! Show me!"

The officer ran to catch up, then passed General Volkov and led him to an underground maintenance tunnel that bypassed the main gate for the underground warehouse bunker. Officer Vlad opened the last door and beckoned towards the General into the darkness of the bunker warehouse. In the middle of the expanse of shadow was what indeed was a meeting lamp, but reengineered to constantly emit electromagnetic radiation.

Volkov moved closer to the device. He noticed his watch was being pulled off his wrist towards it. He checked his compass, and the needle was pointing towards the device.

Officer Vlad : "Careful. We don't know what it does."

Volkov ignored his officer and walked up to the device. He saw what looked like a breaker with a lever on one side, pointed towards the ceiling. Volkov grabbed the handle and pointed it down.

The noise of the strange machine died down. Its blue light faded, leaving the two in complete darkness. After a minute, the lights started flickering on from one end of the bunker to the other, casting the darkness away with a loud click that echoed with each bulb. The light spread, consuming the darkness and chasing it away to the far corners. In that great space, built to be several times larger than any average warehouse, was...

...absolutely nothing. Well...maybe a spoon.

The General ran his hand through his hair as he pulled off his cap.

This couldn't get any worse. Can it?

Just then, the bunker doors opened, the warning alarms informing everyone whom it may concern to get out of the way. It moved slowly. As soon as it opened up enough, one of the other officers slipped through. He was already out of breath and his face was flushed, but he managed to run all the way to the General. He wheezed as he tried to get his message out. He did a half salute.

Officer : "General Volkov....silos....missiles...gone..."

General Volkov let his hat fall to the ground. He grabbed the officer by the jacket and lifted him up off the ground. The officer didn't even seem to mind, relieved that he no longer had to stand.

General Volkov : "What?!? What do you mean gone!?! Which missiles!?! Ballistic?!?"

The officer shook his head.

Officer : "Nuclear."

Volkov dropped the officer, who fell to the ground, not even bothering to pick himself up.

Volkov was freaking out. How did they get all the tanks out of here?!? Was it even possible?!? It would have taken hours!!!

Officer Vlad approached Volkov.

Officer Vlad : "General. I found this taped to the machine. I think it's a message."

He held out a piece of paper, with a square.

of Scotch tape stuck to the top. He took it.

The paper was a Crayola drawing, with missiles and tanks crudely drawn, like those done by a child. The image depicted an army of tanks piloted by stick figures..one of them was riding a rocket. They were advancing towards a line of monsters, and some larger stick figures with horns. An arrow pointed at them, with the word 'badsies' scribbled on the other end of it. Hovering above the carnage was a sentence written in red Crayola.

'We're borrowing them for a bit! We're going to fight demons!

FOR THE MOTHERLAND!

AND FOR DAISY!'

_____________________________________________

[Koto's Private Island]

(Yes. He has a private island. He scammed an Arabian prince by pretending to be an underground nuclear arms dealer, but instead of sending him yellow cake uranium, he sent him regular yellow cake. With white frosting and strawberries!

Oddly, the Arabian prince then demanded the recipe for the cake Koto gave him. So Koto gave him the recipe. Then, for some reason, the prince forgave him, saying the cake was the most delicious thing he ever had in his life.

Ok boomer.)

The sky was still dark, but it was only a few hours till sunrise. Thankfully, Aunty J was sleeping in, since it was her day off.

Deep underground in the complex facility that Koto had his clones built.

See attached to see the meme he used to build the complex.

Deep inside the complex, hundreds of meters under ground below ocean level, was a giant gym-like room. Imagine an underground USJ-like space.

It was massive.

It was full of an army of Koto's clones. They were busy distributing gear amongst themselves and donning them. A few of them had flags to pair with it.

Koto rode among them on a robotic horse. After they donned their helldiver gear, Koto guided his horse to one end, right in front of the giant portal generator. The clones were cracking jokes and shuffling around, but when Koto was in front of them they all sorted themselves in ranks. Koto coughed and they all stood at attention, which was quite a feat.

It was time for Koto's speech.

Koto : "Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace."

Clone #1: "William Wallace is 7 feet tall."

Koto : "Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his butt."

*scottered laughter*

Koto : "I AM William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight?!?"

Clone #6768 : "Fight? Against them? No, we will run; and we will live."

*assorted nods of agreement*

Koto : "Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies...

Everyone smiled a toothy grin. Koto inhaled deeply. He bellowed out the last phrase.

Koto "That they may take our lives, but they'll never take our FREEDOM!!!"

Everyone cheered and started to shoot their guns into the air....and the bullets stated to ricochet off the ceiling of the room and came back down, killing a couple in a puff of smoke. No one cared.

Koto looked behind him. It was a giant metal portal frame. It pulsed with energy and glowed blue through some cracks between the metal plates. Totally not radioactive.

Koto : Alfred. What's the status on the portal?

Alfred : Things are going smoothly. By your calculations, the portal should open up right above the hellish landscape at approximately 3,000 meters. It will be pointed downwards. Their is just one issue with the spacetime equation.

Koto : WHAT?!?!

Koto looked at the generator, which was now powering up. The light shining between the metal plates glowed brighter. Suddenly, the color changed to purple, and the machine started smoking.

Koto : "Not good! RUN!"

The center of the portal exploded, generating a disk shape mist that started sucking everyone into it, like a black hole. Koto webbed the ground, almost being dragged into it. The army of mini Helldivers were being sucked into it. It was like a vacuum cleaner, and they were mites.

After a few moments, the portal dissipated with a puff. Everything that was being sucked towards it now smacked against the wall behind it, mostly what was left of Koto's clone army.

Everyone got up dizzily. A clone even puked rainbows. Literal rainbows.

Oh wait. It was Koto. Koto puked the rainbows.

Koto : "Uhh. Is...everyone all right?"

Koto looked towards what was left of the portal. He contacted Alfred.

Koto : Alfred! What happened?!?

Alfred : As I was saying, sir. There was an error in one of your calculations. Pulling them up in your augmented reality feeds now.

Complex equations appeared in Koto's vision, like a hologram only he could see. They expanded in front of him, filling up his field of view. Koto pointed towards one and the others grew smaller into the background as the one came forward. Koto's eyes scanned over it. Using his network of nanobot neurons in his brain, he highlighted one part in red and zoomed in on the very end. After a bit of searching he found it.

Alfred : ...

Koto : ...

Alfred : ...

Koto looked at the portal again.

Koto : "Huh. I forgot to carry the one. Oops..."

Koto looked back at his leftover clones. Though he knew they were full of plans and ideas, they still looked up to him as their leader.

Koto rubbed the back of his head and looked around sheepishly.

Koto : "Umm...so...their, um, sacrifice...it will not be in vain...they'll probably be fine..."

A piece of the portal frame fell to the ground with a clatter. Koto looked back at the portal.

Koto : "Probably..."

Koto turned to face his clones. They were all deadpanning at him.

Koto : "Ok! OK! We'll think of something!"

_____________________________________________

[Meanwhile, in Hell]

Clones were screaming at the top of their lungs. Except one, who had a shotgun.

They were falling to the surface of the only planet in the hellish dimension.

They caught fire as soon as they entered the atmosphere. Their suits protected them, as well as the constant enhancements the nanotech in their body gave them. Whenever a clone is created using a meme, it has all the memories and abilities that the original has, except for the original meme quirk. They can't use memes. But the nanotech is also cloned.

This gives them a fighting chance.

One of them, spinning in circles as they fell, shouted something as they approached the surface of the hell planet of Doom Eternal.

They were also on fire.

Clone #2634 : "Someone! Throw a bouncy house grenade! Oh wait! I got one!"

They threw it towards the surface. Its heavier end pointed towards the planet and the other end opened up to reveal a thruster, which activated and accelerated the grenade. It shrunk till it was not visible. The clones could see a proof of dust in the surface, and a small yellow square that was rapidly growing in size.

The clones aimed for the military grade bouncy house pad, diving and falling back in order to create a pillar of falling clones so their combined weight doesn't cause the pad to pop. They got closer and closer, until the bottom end of the pillar was the first to make contact. They all subsequently began bouncing off the pad and onto the ground. When the pad's integrity broke, the rest of the clones used another. They all managed to land safely, except one who accidentally bounced into a pool of lava.

Clone #2658 : "I'm melting! IM MELTING! OH WHAT A WORLD!!!"

Clone #1736 : "Bro. You are literally the only one with the lava resistance armor variant."

Clone #2658 stopped flailing around. He looked at himself. He was floating in the lava.

Clone #2658 : "...Oh."

He then proceeded to paddle over slowly. It took him about five minutes to get to shore. He had miraculously covered a distance of three feet worth of paddling. He dusted himself off.

Clone #2658 : "Alright. I declare myself the leader of this regiment. I want all of you to sort yourselves into squads. Be nice to each other! Share the loot! No bullying allowed! And make sure you rip apart every demon and monster you come across! FOR DEMOCRACY!"

The Clones : " FOR DEMOCRACY!!!"

Clone #2658 : "FOR THE MOTHERLAND!!!"

Clones : "FOR THE MOTHERLAND!!!"

Clone #2658 : "AND FOR DAISY!!!"

Clones : "FOR DAISYYYYYYY!!!!"

Clone #5278 : "Ooh look! A demon!"

Clone #2658 : "KILL IT!!!"

The clones charged at a floating demon with an eyeball in the distance. It was floating beyond a cliff, which dropped sharply into a lower plateau. Beyond it all, in the distance, was a massive city. It was the only structure in sight. That was their target.

The demon was just milling about, just floating. It had wandered from the main force guarding the citadel.

Then, it spotted what looked like the land turning black in the distance, covering the red dirt that made up most of the planet's top layer. The blackness was rapidly approaching, along with a faint sound of thunder. And...music?

(Comment what you imagine is playing)

The demon dilated its pupil to see farther. A few specks of darkness had kept high into the air like fleas to jump above the rest. The demon looked at them. They looked human. They had guns. And there were a lot of them.

They were being attacked.

The demon shrieked a warning to the citadel in the distance, then was attacked by one of the clones that jumped. They ripped out its only eye and shoved the barrel of their gun into the hole. They unloaded their clip into it as it fell to the ground. The rest of the swarm joined. If one were watching, they would only see a sea of clones, with a mound dogpiling the area where the demon landed. There was the sound of ripping and tearing as bits of it flew into the air with buckets worth of blood. In a single moment, it was reduced to scraps.

But it was not enough. For the first time, the clones had the option to test the limits of their body, and what their nanotech could do. Though they may die a horrible death, that is what they were prepared for. It was hunting season. They headed towards the city.

The city of Immora.

_____________________________________________

[Inside the city of Immora]

The inhabitants of the city were scrambling. Zombies, Lost Souls, Pain Elementals, Whiplashes, Doom Hunters, and many others. They all heard the distress call of one of the Pain Elementals. They were about to be under attack.

But the enemy forces were small. Not even ten thousand, while Hell's legions were countless. Even if the enemy was somehow powerful, they will be overwhelmed with the sheer number of demons. And on top of it all, there was one inhabitant who was waiting for someone. Someone powerful. The Slayer himself.

And the one waiting? We'll get to that later.

It's time for war.

_____________________________________________

The mini tsunami of Koto Clones cascaded towards the city of Immora, rapidly approaching. The clones were giddy at the thought of fighting creatures they only saw in video games. There was no fear. Just a kind of...excitement. The kind where you would awaken Dracula so you can see how long he can last under your onslaught of wooden staves, holy hand grenades, and silver sporks.

It was going to be a slaughter.

As the cones approached the city, monsters and demons started pouring out from it to meet them. They assembled into an organized chaos of ranks. They came by the tens of thousands. About 300 meters from the clones army of 8-year-old Helldivers, they stopped. The clones responded in kind. Among the armies of hell, there stood one figure that all the clones immediately recognized. The Dark Lord. The one responsible for ending countless civilizations. The ruler of Hell himself. Or as Koto preferred to call him...

Dave!

*DRAMATIC MUSIC CRESCENDOS!!!!!!*

Dave approached the front of the ranks, stepping between two massive demons that towered above the others like titans. He stood on top of an outcrop of stone, overlooking a small pool of lava that illuminated his form from the bottom.

He spoke.

Dave (The Dark Lord): "I don't know who you are. I don't know why you foolishly come against the forces of Hell. But do know this. If you turn back and -"

Clone #1474 : "WHAT!?! IM SORRY BUT WE CANT HEAR YOU! CAN YOU TRY AND SPEAK LOUDER?!?"

The rest of the clones giggled.

Dave paused. He took a breath, and raised his voice.

Dave : "I am Davoth! Leader of the Legions of Hell! And I don't know who you fools are! Or why your leaders decided to send children as soldiers! But if you surrender now! I'll contemplate giving you a swift death!"

Clone #6494 : "IM SORRY! WE STILL CANT HEAR YOU! DID YOU SAY YOUR NAME WAS DAVE?!?"

Clone #7492 : "HI DAVE!"

Clone #935 : "I REMEMBER YOU!"

Clone #6391 : "DAVE! HOW'S THE WIFE???"

Clone #3836 : "Guys. Stop bullying him. It's mean. He might cry!"

Clone : "IS IT TRUE YOU USE EYESHADOW?!?"

Clone : #4153 : "OR INVENTED HUSHED PUPPIES!?!"

Clone #46 : "IS HITLER HERE? I WANT TO SAY HI!

Clone #7362 : "YOU KILLED DAISYYYYYYY!!!!!!"

The rest of the clones gasped in mock horror.

Clone #5383 : "DESPICABLE!!!!!"

Clone #6392 : "I AM GOING TO RIP OUT YOUR LIVER AND BOIL IT IN MOTOR OIL!!!"

Clone #3285 : "SEND HIM TO THE FURRY DIMENSION!!!"

Clone #3746 : "RELEASE THE BABY!!!"

Clone (The Baby) #2109 : "SKIPPING CUTSCENE!!!!"

The clone shot a rocket at Dave's face.

*BOOM*

A pain elemental intercepted and it was blown to bits. Blood and guts showered the ground. A piece even splatted on the top of Dave's head.

Dave : "So you have chosen...death."

Dave pointed his sword at the horde of Koto's, and his army launched itself at them.

The army of clones responded in kind.

The clones leapt at the horrors of Hell. They were all prey. Hand grenades were thrown first. They vaporized the first ones. Artillery was next, taking out pain Elementals and sewing destruction amidst the ranks. A large rocket fired towards the demons, spiraling chaotically.

With a screaming clone holding onto it for dear life.

Like, imagine a high pitch scream. The one that sounds like a girl's. Now imagine blowing up a balloon, holding the end, then releasing it. It's like that.

*BOOOOOM*

The rocket exploded into the ranks of the demons, taking out a large one with a gun for an arm and a bunch of the little ones. It created a huge column of smoke that sank and carpeted the battlefield, creating a screen.

For a moment, the fighting stopped. The enemy couldn't see the clones. It got really quiet. Some flying demons that flew above the fog were immediately shot down. Now, there was total silence.

Then the demons heard disjointed giggling. In the smoke, they saw a pair of eyes, gleaming yellow. One of the demons approached. The giggling got louder.

Now the demon was only a few meters away. The glowing eyes disappeared.

*BRRRRRRERRRRRR*

*Slice*

The demon was cut in half. It toppled as it's compatriots retreated. A clone leapt from the smoke, wildly swinging a chainsaw as it chased the demons near it. Giddy, bloodthirsty insanity was the only thing you saw in his eyes.

Clone #6272 : "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! DIE!!!!"

The rest of the clones charged through the smoke, cackling madly and wielding melee weapons. Knives, swords, axes, and more chainsaws. It was perfect, since they now were hacking through the zombie regiment. The rest of the clones advanced behind the melee party, spraying the enemies of demons with a chaos Stormtroopers would be proud of, but waaay more accurately. With a healthy dose of explosions. A massive hand smashed a bunch of clones, turning them into smoke. It was a giant demon with horns. The clones looked at it with a kind of aw.

Clone #5729 : "It's a Titan!!!"

The clone army : "Yay!!!!"

Clone #154 : "QUICKLY! DO THE THING!"

Clone #6291 : "Seid ihr das Essen?

Clone #7391 : "Nein! Wir sind die Jäger!"

Several clones naruto ran out from the crowd towards the Titan. The Titan took another swipe at the clones, but they dodged. Some managed to jump on its arm and ran up the limb as the Titan's eyes were peppered by gunners on the ground. The clones reached the shoulder of the Titan, and use grapples to swing around to the base of its neck. They slowly started hacking away. One of them was even using a plastic spoon

Suddenly, the clones trying to hack their way to the spinal cord of the Titan were blasted off by several beams of energy. They fell to the ground and were turned into smoke by the onslaught of demons.

Slowly, the demons started gaining the upper hand, practically drowning the clones in kill counts. The bodies piled up, and the footing was not steady. One by one, the demons took out the clones. They started swarming them, and the clones were now falling back.

Eventually, there was only one clone left. Clone #2658.

The demons converged on #2658. The clone fought with a ferocity that made the weaker demons hesitate to get in range. Those that did were either blasted, or torn apart by a blade. The clone was small, but that made him harder to hit. The demons couldn't reach him with their comrades in the way. And whenever they tried to back away to make more room for the ranged attackers, the clone would jump into the swarm again, swimming in the blood left in his wake.

For two hours, this single clone slaughtered every demon that dared to get too close. Eventually, one of the bigger ones got a good wack in and #2658 went flying. He bounced on a pond of lava and rolled away out of the swarm of demons. He got up, battered and beaten. The nanotech in his body was working overtime keeping him alive, but it was starting to overheat. #2658 took his helmet off, breathing hard and letting the excess steam escape. He looked at the army of demons, and could see even more join in from all directions. Despairing, he used the nanotech in his brain to send out a special distress signal. Hopefully, it could reach into other dimensions. Or not.

There was some shuffling in the hordes of demons. They parted, and Dave walked towards the front.

Clone #2658 : "Is anyone left out there?!? We need backup. Really really badly."

There was silence. No signal. No response. #2568 was the last one. They had lost.

.

.

.

.

.

Then he felt it. A faint signal. Like a ray of hope shining in the darkness. An electronic static against the canvas of silence. A voice responded.

??? : "Cap. Cap, do you read me?"

Cap?

Clone #2658 put a hand to his head in order to concentrate.

??? : "On your left."

Clone #2568 looked to his left. A fountain of sparks appeared in the air, slowly growing into a large circle of a portal. Coming from it was a light. And in the light was three figures.

They exited the portal.

It was three clones. The one in the middle was wearing high tech bulky metallic gauntlets, with the fingers shaped into claws. The other two had on a traditional garb, and one had a spear while the other was equipped with arm blaster bracelets.

Clone #2568 looked in awe. Suddenly, something swiftly flew out of the portal and circled the area. It was another clone.

A clone with red feathered organic wings.

Clone #2568 : "No *BLEEP*ing way."

Koto really did it. He found a way to copy quirks.

More portals opened. Some on the ground, others high in the air. They spread across the horizon.

More clones exited another portal. One leapt out shirtless, dual wielding knives. Another floated after him, a cape billowing majestically behind. Another flew in on rocket boots, dual wielding a pair of blaster pistols. Another swung in with a pair of artificial web slingers. It stood with the others, overlooking the battlefield.

Dave just stared as more and more clones came through the portals, with tanks on the ground, and massive flying ships high in the air. The clone with the claw gauntlets changed as he walked forward, leading a whole army of clones through the portal. Through the portal, one could see the private island that Koto uses as his base of operations. Only now it has a giant city-like fortress on the surface.

Clone #246 : "Ebombay!"

Clone Army : "Ebombay!"

Clone #246 : "Ebombay!"

Clone Army : "Ebombay!"

More clones poured through the portals. Some were flying jets, and one had a giant UFO. Some on the ground came in in robotic horses. And...

Wait? Was that a unicorn? Yep. A robotic unicorn was the head of the Calvary. It even had wings.

Clone #2568 looked around and noticed that some of the original clones actually had survived, and they were coming up out of the distant debris they were hiding under.

All of the sudden, a massive sudden surge of information was transmitted to #2568's nanobot neurons. It was code. Code for a whole library worth of DNA scanned and copied quirks.

And they were being transmitted to all of the clones left alive. A clone popped his head out of the ground like a mole.

Clone #7391 : "OHH YEAAAAH!!!"

The area around the clone exploded, and the clone's size increased several times. Its height now matched the Titan's.

More and more clones poured through the portal like a never ending river. Hundred. Thousands. Tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands, they covered the ground from one end of the horizon to the other, equipped in all sorts of gear and riding in several different vehicles. Warthogs, tanks, helicopters, bombers, minigun jetpacks, powerful robotic exoskeleton suits, mecha, and even a couple of Jagers. They wielded all sorts of quirks. Some even combined them, having wings made of metal, with several shards of red hot feathers that zipped through the air around them like arrows of death.

Others had more grotesque preferations. One's muscles grew all over its body, increasing its size and strength. A plate armor made of bones started calcifying it's surface, forming a protective layer. It's was a knight made of flesh and bone. Another was just a giant blob of black goo, with the clone's body acting as it's heart. It's formed it's gooy exterior imo limbs like a cross between a tiger and an octopus. It even grew teeth. Another grew four spider-like appendages out of its back, mimicing a ghoul.

Something else came flying out of a portal. It was not a vehicle, nor a clone. It was something else.

Or someone else.

It flew around with foot and hand propulsers. It landed next to clone #2568, doing a superhero landing. It was a humanoid robot, dressed in a butler uniform, with a pearly white smooth chrome head. And a face with no features, except from one giant camera lens embedded right in the center of the face. It glowed a faint blue.

Clone #2568 looked up at him.

Clone #2568 : "Who are you?"

The robot stood at crisp attention.

Alfred : "Good to finally see you for the first time. How are you holding up, sir?"

The clone's jaw dropped.

Clone #2568 : "ALFRED!?! YOU HAVE A FREAKING BODY NOW?!?"

Robot Alfred pulled out a tactical shotgun.

Alfred : "More than just a body, sir. There has been a few things that have happened within the last hour. By the way. You have been selected to receive the leading care packages. Good job on surviving this far."

Clone #2568 : "The what?"

Alfred pointed behind him. A rocket shot from a portal, bulky, and carrying something towards clone #2568. It exploded, sending parts everywhere. But one noticeable piece flew in an intended trajectory, straight towards clone #2568. He caught it.

It was a broken Captain America shield. A perfect replica.

Alfred : "You have received one of two of the mobile packages. I take it you know what to prepare for?"

Clone #2568 grinned ear to ear.

Clone #2568 : "Do I!"

Alfred : "Well then...care to do the honors?"

Clone #2568 giggled like a maniac. Then, with a serious expression, he patted his cheeks with his hands. He strapped the broken shield on his arm, then turned towards the army of the damned.

Clone #2568 : "AVENGERS!!!"

He stretched out his arm. There was a whistling sound.

*BOOM!!!*

An object flew into #2568's hand. It was an exact replica of Thor's hammer, but its seams glowed blue and arcs of electricity surged from the handle and into #2568's body. His pupils glowed blue as he smiled a wild grin, electricity cackling all over his body.

Everyone held their breath.

*Alfred cocks shotgun*

Clone #2568 : "Assemble."

The clones roared and charged towards the enemy, bullets flying. Dave said nothing, and pointed his sword towards the clones. The demon army surged forward. There was booming sounds as the armies clashed, tearing at each other. Some clones zipped far behind enemy lines, using their mobility to swiftly jump from enemy to enemy. They crippled enemies with their blades, making them more supseptable to finishers.

The rest of the army followed up, ripping out spines, pulverizing eye sockets, concaving craniums, and slicing poor unfortunate souls down the middle.

It just works.

The giant clone also was getting some action. It waded through the enemy ranks, squashing zombies and drop-kicking those bigger demon giants with a gun for an arm. He sent them flying. It actually grabbed one and started bowling. Then it spotted the Titan demon. And the Titan spotted him. It charged toward him with it's head low.

The clone smiled and took off it's helldiver cape. It dangled it in front of the demon, spinning away as it rushed passed him.

Giant clone : "Ole!"

The demon skidded to a halt and charged towards him again, this time going for a tackle. The clone grabbed him by the horns

, but the demon kept pushing forward. It pushed the clone giant into a lake of lava. It was like stepping into a boiling puddle of mud.

Giant clone : "Owie! Hot hot HOT!"

The clone pulled out a massive knife and plugged it into the Titan's neck. It roared in pain. The clone pulled out the knife and swung around the Titan's body. It wrapped it's arms around the Titan's waist from the back, locking it's hands together.

It lifted.

Giant clone : "And his name is...JOHN CENAAAAA!!!"

*BOOM!!!*

The clone had fliped the Titan over, smashing his head into the ground. It's body fell to the side as it's horns churned the dirt.

The clones looked up and saw the clone doing a helldiver pose.

Giant Clone : "FOR DEMOCRACY!!!"

The clone army : "FOR DEMOCRACY!"

The army cheered and resumed the slaughter. But two of them climbed up the giant clone and each stood on opposite shoulders.

Clone on the left shoulder : "KILL THE DEMON! FOR DAISY! TAKE YOUR KNIFE AND SHOVE IT DOWN ITS THROAT THEN POKE OUT ITS EYEBALLS AND BREAK ITS HORNS! I WANT TO HEAR IT SCREAM!!!"

Clone on the right shoulder : "Hol' up. What are we doing, guys?! These may be demons and monsters, but once upon a time they were living breathing humans. People! With families and loved ones. Just like us! Why are we reveling in their slaughter and destruction?!? Why are we cutting them in half and ripping out their spines? Do they really deserve it? Did they really do anything bad? Are they victims? Are they really the baddies?..."

His lower lip quivered as his eyes started to water. He brought both fists up to his chin.

"...Are we... are we the baddies? *sniff*"

For a moment, the battlefield paused. Clones stopped their violent actions midway, from having a zombie in a chokehold to grabbing a pain elemental by the eyeball.

Clone on the right shoulder : "HA! I'm just kidding. KILL THEM ALL!!!"

The clones resumed their carnage, snapping necks and ripping out eyeballs. One ripped off one arm of one demon and started beating the other with it. The Giant had severed the Titan's head with an oversized knife and was playing soccer with it. It was chaos. A battlefield.

But someone was missing.

Where was Koto?

One of the clones looked around, trying to find him. He grabbed another clone next to him.

Clone #849179 : "Hey. Where's Miniboss?"

The clone just deadpanned at him, then pointed a few yards to his left. #849179 looked to see Koto chasing a zombie with a chainsaw held above his head, cackling like a maniac. Clone #849179 called to him

Clone #849179 : "Miniboooss!

The zombie tripped, rolled over, and screamed in terror as Koto was about to cut him down the middle.

Clone #849179 : "MINIBOOOOOOOOSSSSSSS!"

Koto stopped the chainsaw inches away from the zombie. The zombie took its chance to back away and scamper off, only to be harpooned in the back, then dragged backwards screaming into the mass of bloodthirsty clones. It stopped screaming shortly after.

Koto looked irritatingly at the clone that distracted him.

Koto : "What?!"

Clone #849179 : "Um. How long will we be fighting for?"

Koto : "I dunno."

Clone #849179 : "Well, how long did Doomguy fight?"

Koto thought for a moment, then he realized.

Koto : "Ohhhh....Yep, that's a problem. If only there was a way to kill a lot of demons at once. Hmmm..."

Just then, a bunch of clones died in a straight line. Koto looked towards the origin of the attack.

It was Dave. He had swung his sword in an upstroke and broke the line of combat. His army took advantage. They surged forward, taking out clones left and right before they even realized what was happening. Eventually they reacted, drawing back and launching a counter attack.

Koto looked at Dave. A lightbulb literally appeared above his head. Koto exclaimed in an Australian accent.

Koto : "Oho! I've got an idea!"

Clone #849179 looked at Koto inquisitively. Koto looked back and gave a grin that looked like this.

Clone #849179 realized with horror what Koto was planning.

Clone #849179 : "No!"

Koto : "Heheheheheheh..."

Clone #849179 : "No! Don't do it!"

Koto : "Hahahahahahaha!..."

Clone #849179 : "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Koto activated his quirk.

Koto : "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TACTICAL NUKE! INCOMING!!!"

All the clones in the vicinity heard the alarm, and instantly fled the area. Some stayed behind to continue fighting off the demons. #849179 grabbed Koto and shook him back and forth, his head bobbing like a bobble-head.

Clone #849179 : "You're gonna kill us all you maniac!!!!!!"

Koto : "HAHAHA!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! THIS IS THE GREATEST PLAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!"

Koto's eyes went in different directions. #849179 slapped Koto across the face.

Clone #849179 : "Pull yourself together!!! We might actually die!!! Did you even have a plan on how to survive!?!?!"

Koto : "Fridge."

Clone #849179 : "What?!?"

Koto : "FRIDGE!!!"

Koto pulled out a glowing orb and threw it. It landed at a demon's feet. Moments later, a refrigerator came down and smashed it to pieces.

Clone #849179 : "OH! THE FRIDGE!!!"

Both Koto and his clones scrambled towards the fridge. They got inside and slammed the door, just as the nuke came down.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............."

_____________________________________________

The nuke had exploded, leaving only a smoldering crater in its wake. Everything from miles was decimated and on fire.

But it was already decimated and on fire anyways.

Ok...the area was very flattened...and on fire. There was nothing left alive in sight. Not even Dave.

Just then, a hand burst from the ground. Red, and metallic. It was Dave. He survived.

Dave pushed himself out of the dirt he got buried in and stood up. He looked around. He was standing on the edge of a massive crater that was slowly starting to fill with laval.

Something fell from the sky and crashed on the ground. It was the fridge, fairly scorched, and also on fire. The door of the fridge burst open and out came Clone #849179, wielding a lightsaber.

#849179 attacked Dave, who brought up his sword in defence. #849179 wielded the lightsaber with two hands like a Jedi and while attacking Dave, switched to a fencers fighting style, then a samurai's, a knight's, and then finally he copied Dave's fighting style. In the middle of fighting, #849179 leapt back and brought up his lightsaber horizontally to his face. He took a breath.

#849179 : "Bankai..."

He pressed a button on the lightsaber. Another blade of red light generated on the bottom of the lightsaber. Dave looked at him and redied his sword, with both hands on the hilt and the blade in front of him.

#849179 pressed another button and the color of the lightsaber changed, flashing all the colors of the rainbow while a hidden speaker blasted the nyanyanyanyanyanyanya cat song.

Dave : "..."

#847179 : "Whoopsie! Wrong button!"

#847179 pressed the buttons on the lightsaber, trying to find the perfect song. It went through dozens. There was one for Mortal Combat, the Avengers, Highway to Hell, a random vocaloid song, the theme from Harry Potter, Giorno's theme. And finally...the one he had been looking for...

Dual of the Fates.

#847179 grinned at Dave, letting the music crescendo. Dave just stared at the clone. A judgmental look in his eyes.

#849179 : "Don't-don't look at me like that! Just...just come at me, bro!!!"

Dave : "You all have got to be the strangest...creature... I have ever fought."

Dave swung his sword in a downwards arc. #849179 rolled out of the way. Dave spined around for another arc, sweeping the ground like a Dark Souls boss. The clone rolled again. And again.

Andagainandagainandagainandagainandagainandagainandagai-.

Dave : "STOP MOVING!!!! YOU INSECT!!!"

#849179 rolled once more and brought up his lightsaber just in time to block a heavy attack from Dave. Sparks of plasma showered the ground as the force of the attack forced the ground beneath the clone to break.

#849179 used his lightsaber to push Dave's sword to the side and went for a counter attack, spinning his lightsaber around the blade and striking Dave's arm. It created sparks as it bounced off, leaving only a scorch mark.

Dave : "Your attempts to desecrate this place are...feeble."

Dave pulled up his sword and spun it around in a wide upwards arc towards the clone. The clone knocked it to the side, but Dave kept the momentum of the rotation, but this time striking with the flat end of the blade. It hammered into the clone, sending him flying and knocking his lightsaber away. Dave moved towards #849179.

Dave : "You came here to your death. You and your... comrades. I don't know why you decided to foolishly throw your lives away. Your army is finite. Mine is infinite. Your life is short..."

#849179 tried to scramble backwards, but Dave pushed his sword deep into the clone's chest. The clone gasped as his face turned pale. He coughed and blood spilled out of his mouth.

Dave : "...while mine will never end."

#849179 smiled weakly as his body started to shiver.

#849179 : "You mean...*cough*...like...like your hairline? Ha..."

Dave : "???"

#849178 coughed again.

#849179 : "Yeah, haha, I think you're starting to go bald. Man, you're so old."

Dave : "Any last words?"

#849179 coughed blood again.

#849179 : "Yeah. Six...."

Dave : "..."

#849179 : "..."

Dave : "..."

#849179 : "How's your sister?"

Dave plunged his sword deeper, leaning on the hilt. #849179's eyes started to glaze over as his body started to slowly turn to mist. Yet still, he smiled.

#849179 : "On your left."

#849179 faded from existence.

Dave glanced to his left.

*BONK!*

Koto whacked him with a giant cartoon wooden mallet. Dave was knocked off his feet by the tremendous force of the blow. His armor's helmet was knocked off also, revealing his face. He managed to hold onto his sword. He stabbed the tip into the ground, pushing himself into the standing position.

Dave : "Never has such a cowardly tactic been-"

*BONK*

Dave was sent flying again, this time rolling into a standing position.

Dave : "STOP HITTING M-"

*BONKITY BONK!*

A flurry of attacks struck Dave again. Sending him high into the air.

Koto : "Geppo blitz!!!"

Koto jumped in the air after him, whacking Dave downwards. Koto tucked, rotated his body, and jumped with such a force he accelerated past Dave. He then rotated again so his legs pointed downwards. He jumped in the air with a sonic boom, heading straight for Dave. He wacked him as he went past and spun around to do it again. Koto took a deep breath and activated his quirk.

Koto : "Gotta go fast."

*BONKBONLBONKBONKBONKBONKBONKBONKBONKBONKBONKITYBONKBONKBOBONKBONKBONKBONK!!!!!......BONK!*

Dave's armor was rapidly losing integrity as Koto assailed him non-stop. Finally, Koto wacked Dave to the ground. He struck it and created a crater as a dark crimson cloud of dust obscured his form.

Koto sped down after him, dissipating the dust cloud with his momentum. Dave tried to get away, but Koto (activating his quirk) grabbed him by the leg. He lifted Dave up and slammed him to the ground like a wet rag. He then lifted him up again and slammed him down on the other side. Koto repeated the process for a moment, then slammed Dave down one last time.

Dave's armor had completely lost its integrity, now a husk of its former glory. All attachments and plates were shredded off by the constant stress. But Dave was still alive. He gasped weakly as he lie with his back on the ground. He was disoriented, battered, and could barely even breathe. Eventually, his strength returned and he slowly got up, his armor creaking as loose bits fell from its frame. He looked around for his assailant.

Dave saw Koto a few meters away, looking at Dave's giant glowing sword curiously. Koto held it in his hand. Koto took the blade and walked to Dave. Koto held the weapon at his throat. Dave looked at his own weapon, then back at Koto.

Dave : "Do you have anything to say to your Creator? Before you....wait....now that I look at you...you...were not a part of the Creation of this multiverse..."

Koto cracked a smile.

Dave : "Who are you?...What are you?..."

Koto thought for a moment on how to introduce himself. Then, with the most serious expression, Koto pointed the Crucible to Dave's chest.

(Note : scroll slowly for effect.)

Koto : "I..."

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Koto : "...am Steve."

Dave : "Curse you, Steve. May you never find rest. May the nightmares of the night always keep you awake. And let them plague you even in the light."

Koto burst out laughing and nodded.

Koto : "Yes, yes! I love that! That's perfect! I wish I got a recording of that. Oh and before I forget."

Koto got out a phone.

Koto : "Selfie!"

Koto took a selfie with the Dark Lord's crippled form in the background. He then put the phone away. Dave just shook his head, slightly bewildered by Koto's behavior. Koto brought the Crucible up to Dave's chest.

Koto : "Ok. I'ma gonna stab you now."

Dave just stared at Koto silently.

Koto : "What? I don't really have anything creative for you. I kinda ran out when I blew everything up. And plus, you get stabbed anyways."

Dave said nothing. Koto just stared at him awkwardly. Koto readied himself to kill Dave. To shove the blade through his heart.

Dave looked right into Koto's eyes. Into his very soul.

Dave : "Your weak...I can see it....You're not a killer...Even you know it."

Koto let the weight of the Crucible allow it to drop slowly. Koto looked down.

Dave : "Someone like you...shouldn't be playing war...if you can't finish it."

Koto let the Crucible drop fully and turned to face away from Dave.

Dave : "I have destroyed countless civilizations and races...from one universe to another. I don't know where you came from, but you are clearly not prepared to kill All your enemies. If you don't kill me now, I will just rebuild and get stronger. And I won't stop there. I will track you down to your home universe, kill you and your family, and erase your entire kind. I'll then destroy your world. All for your mistake of leaving me ali-"

Koto : "Shaddup."

Dave stopped talking.

Koto : "I don't want to kill you. I don't want to kill anybody. Unless you happen to be a mindless monster. You are correct. I'm not ready to take a life. Even if it's yours. Even if your pure evil, I won't kill you. Why? Because the whole fact of me being here today was purely for my enjoyment. I like fighting. Especially monsters and demons. I don't think it would be right to take your life purely for the sake of entertainment. I could kill you. You have committed enough atrocities to justify even myself for slaying you. But in case you hadn't heard, there is a line for your head. But I'm not the one in front of it. That privilege belongs to the guy who will come after. And he will slay you."

Dave looked at Koto, trying to see if his eyes would betray his thoughts. They didn't.

Dave : "...So...there is another...who?"

Koto smiled and swung the Crucible onto his shoulder.

Koto : "You'll see. Very soon, in fact."

And with that, Koto turned and walked away.

_____________________________________________

It had been a few hours since the child left for his home world. The Dark Lord looked at the destruction his forces wrought on his realm, and sighed.

Dave : "Can this get any worse?"

Just then,  he heard heavy footsteps behind him.

F***.

Dave : "...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...well, I see you're here...shameful, isn't it?...someone had beat you here, though they spared me so that you might have vengeance. They did not wish to rob you of that. They were... vicious in their conquest. One might think their soul has been corrupted, with the way they reveled in the blood of their enemies.

But they had no quarrel with us. For them, we were mere sport. I was sport to them. I have slayed countless and destroyed many universes before you came. Yet, they treated me as sport. Just one of them overwhelmed my forces with his power, wiping them out with glee. Yet. He spared me. The worst of their enemies. He....It seemed to enjoy facing powerful foes, then ripping them to pieces, tearing out their spines...It is not human, yet it thinks it is. Even the essence of it's soul was not something the powerful forces of Hell could touch..."

*A shotgun cocks*

Dave : "...should you ever cross its path..."

*heavy metal starts*

Dave : "...rip and tear...until it is done...do you have any last words for your creator? Before you kill him?..."

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

??? : "No."

*BANG!*

_____________________________________________

[That morning, in the MHA universe.]

Koto : "WAFFLES!!!"

It was breakfast time, and Aunty J had made a big breakfast of waffles, whipped cream, berries, sausages, bacon, eggs, and everything heavenly. Koto dived right in.

As he was eating, Koto noticed Ms. Joke had yet to have a bite.

Ms. Joke : Wow. You are hungry. Haha.Must have done something fun last night when you snuck out. I didn't see you in your bed. Hahaha."

Oh f***. She was laughing. That was a bad sign.

Ms. Joke leaned in closer, staring Koto in the eyes as he put on his best poker face, sweat sliding from his scalp and down his face. He couldn't let her figure out he made a secret base under her house. Or went to hell to kill millions of demons with an army of clones he made using his quirk. He had to think of something.

Ms Joke : "Where were you?"

...

Koto : "Um... I was...outside."

Ms Joke : "In the middle of the night?"

Koto : "Yes."

Ms Joke : "Alone?"

Koto : "Yes."

Ms Joke : "Doing what?..."

Koto : "..."

Ms Joke : "Want to know something funny? I worry about you. My gut tells me you aren't being very honest, and have been hiding important things from me. Things that I need to know as your guardian for your safety. I can't have you holding in things that might turn into a problem later on in life. So, I scheduled you for some counseling sessions."

Koto swallowed the food he stopped chewing.

Koto : "What?! With who?"

Ms Joke laughed a little.

Ms Joke : "With Mr. Nezu!"

...

Koto : "WHAT!?!?!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

Ms Joke burst out laughing. Koto had a feeling it was an evil laugh.

Ok. Now I'm done with the chapter. Time for me to go and be a responsible person.
