'The Killing Blow'

'The Funeral'

*3rd Person PoV*

This was it, the big day had come. In the middle of the tall meadow stood the entire Midoriya family and many members of Blood Rose's hierarchy, all stood in a large, circular patch of a field of tall grass. "We're like sitting ducks out here if the wops come." Arthur said to his oldest sister as they looked at the large, sort of medieval looking carriage.

"Yeah, well, Genjiro said we should do it in the open." Akira responded in a monotone, her back leaned up against a cart as her silver-haired brother and purple-haired sister walked past the two, making their way to the green-haired villainess that is their mother.

Taking notice of her second oldest son and daughter, Inko turned around to look at Genjiro and Ada, both of them with sorrowful looks on their faces. "Genjiro, Ada." Opening up her arms to invite them into a hug, the two accepted and embraced their mother. "You two have done an amazing job in getting this funeral. I am so proud of you two."

"Thank you mom." Ada said with her left arm around her moms back, her face buried into her mother's shoulder.

"Thanks mom." Genjiro retorted to her, his arm wrapped in a similar fashion to Ada's. Once they separated however, the three gave each other a knowing glance, as if there was something going on behind the scenes.

When the two children walked away from Inko, the villainess greeted both All for One and Shigaraki, who had just arrived with Kurogiri and an accompany of Nomu to stay on guard. "I hope we haven't arrived too late Inko dear." The man of pure, ancient myth said, his hands resting in front of his torso with his arms draped.

"On the contrary Keiki, your timing is impeccable. We were just about to start." She said as she walked up and greeted her partner with a hug, holding the ancient being tightly in her arms.

He wrapped his arms around the green-haired woman for a good minute whilst Shigaraki went and greeted the five Midoriya siblings. "So, you're Izuku's siblings that he spoke so fondly of until recently?" He said with a raised eyebrow and an expression of indifference. "Now, it's not my place to judge you guys at a time like this, no matter how disappointed I might be in the lot of you."

Izuku's younger brothers and sisters all flinched at the sort of harsh tone the sickly looking man used before he sighed and carried on. "That being said, I know you all really cared about him, and I'm sorry for your loss. He was a good friend." He said with absolute sincerity.

This comment helped lighten the spirits of Genjiro, Akira, Ada, Jason and Arthur before the oldest of the five called out to everyone that the funeral was about to start.

"You ready for this Ada? This is a big deal." The silver-haired teen said as he looked to his sister as they walked up to the wagon that Johnny Doggs provided to them for this event.

She turned her head up to her brother and looked deep into his cyan-blue eyes with a determined, but also slightly anxious look. And for good reason. "It's okay, I can do this. This is our brother's funeral, I will not fuck this up like I did with marrying him off. If anyone's going to be setting this thing on fire, it should be me." She responded to her brother, all with a confident face a tinge of nervousness mixed in.

With this being said, the sad event was about to commence. Everyone had gathered with each other, huddled together with their hands set in front of their waists and staying silent as Inko began tearing up. Genjiro, after all he has been through, and no matter how painful this was for him to do, spoke up to address why they were all here today.

"This...This was how Izuku wanted to go...On the smoke." He said with his head facing the ground slightly. "A little secret about the whole lot of us. The truth is...We all died once before...Ada. Me. Akira. Arthur. Jason. Mom...And Izuku. We all had our brush with death, but he was the only one of us to really die before his quirk saved him...We were all spared from a nasty end...And so, when we all reunited, we agreed...That everything after that was extra. And when our time came...We'd all remember."
