Into Vast Familiar Worlds

Endeavor's Pride

Last night was hell, Chris woke up with one hell of a headache, he couldn't remember what the hell had happened last night. He sat up on his bed and opened his eyes, it was completely dark in his room this morning, even with the sun shining through his window. He looked down at his phone and she was still asleep on his phone. He rubbed the back of his head and smelled something burning. He got up and investigated but nothing was on fire. "Bloody hell.. The shit's going on?" He whispered as to not wake her up. This was weird. No fire and the light switch was on but no light in the house would work, when he stepped outside the world got dark for him alone, freaked out he looked in his window and the light was on in his room. "The hell..." He said with a look of serious concern. He went back inside and the house went dark again. Deciding not to worry about it, he turned on his TV which weirdly enough worked with no interference. That wasn't the weirdest part. He hadn't watched My Hero Academia in years but it was playing on his TV. It was the episode that introduced the world's Number 2 hero. Endeavor, cruel father to Todoroki. When he stared at the screen the world went dark completely and fire surrounded him and then out of nowhere he was sucked into the TV. Everything went black and he couldn't see. After awhile, he was able to open his eyes. He looked down and he was animated. One arm was covered in darkness and the other covered in fire. He was more muscular than normal. He went from being bald with a beard to having long black hair and a five o' clock shadow. He donned a silky black suit with a black tie covered in flames and darkness. In fact his whole suit was. He had on a black half mask that covered his nose and stubbly mouth. "Yo look dude! It's the number two Hero! Infernal Darkness!" Some kid said to his friend. The two stood there in awe at their idol. Who the hell were they talking about? No such hero existed in this world. Unless that was... Him?! Now this was really weird. To make things weirder, a walkway of flames that led straight to him appeared out of nowhere and then in the distance came a highly familiar bulky figure. It was the King of Flames himself, Endeavor. "Infernal Darkness. Today is the day we settle this. I took the role of number one as a fluke. I hadn't earned this when Allmight retired. You're the only one on par with Allmight and Midoriya. Come and let me earn this rank!" Spoke Endeavor adamantly. He was serious. This wasn't right. This isn't how this happened. What the hell is going on? He knew he wasn't going to back down though, so he walked forward before Endeavor, as the intensity of his flames worked to overwhelm him. "Doesn't seem I have much choice in the matter Endeavor. Very well." His voice was new. It was raspy and low, not too dissimilar to Dabi. Darkness enveloped the surrounding area to where nothing was left but the ever burning bright Endeavor. Only the flames of Endeavor's was getting weak and losing intensity, the darkness was consuming the fire of his Quirk. Flames flashed and Infernal landed a mighty blow to Endeavor's gut. This infuriated Endeavor and his flames ignited brighter than that of a burning sun, consuming the Darkness around him. Now they could both see each other again and soon went to blows with each other. Each force filled punch emitted shockwaves around them. The intensity was too great for anyone to even watch. These two Master's of Fire were evenly matched. "Infernal, you're really starting to piss me off! Take me seriously damn it! Otherwise this won't even feel worth it! Stop wasting my time you macabre bastard!" Spoke Endeavor with an infuriating and burning passion. "Endeavor.. You bloody fool.. I'm giving it all I have. Calm down. You're the number one for good reason. Sure you didn't beat Allmight to get there, but you endeared and fought your way to where you are. Be proud of that. No one is greater than you at this time." Spoke Infernal Darkness with a struggling tone. He admired Endeavor, his pride was his greatest weapon but his greatest weakness. "I didn't come here for a lecture, I came here to prove I'm the best hero there is!" Shouted Endeavor, now extremely ticked off. "You damn fool... You needn't prove anything, to anyone. All of us know you're the best!" He strikes him once more as he screams, using all his strength in that hit and Endeavor goes flying down the road leaving a crater when he hits the ground. Darkness then surrounds Endeavor and it extinguishes his flames completely, leaving him unconscious. "Rest now... You raging inferno." Spoke Infernal Darkness as he turned away and walked off down the road. He closed his eyes and when he opened them again he was back in his house and everything was normal again. He felt relieved hearing a sweet voice over the phone when he rejoined reality. He smiles and enjoyed the rest of his day.
