Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it is with great honor that I present to you, the sequel.

Izuku's eyes shot open. He slowly sat up, a hand against his head as he grimaced from the killer headache he had. He frowned as he looked around his current surroundings, finding himself at the entrance of an alleyway. He got up and exited, looking around for any distinguishing landmarks that could tell him where he was. That was when he noticed Tokyo Tower in the distance. He frowned at it, for some reason he felt something was off about this situation. He looked down at himself and found that he was wearing some kind of outfit that he didn't remember and while it was a little loose on him, he felt it was important to him. 

He began walking towards the nearest train, his only thought being that he needed to get home. When he found he had no cash or anything anywhere on his outfit, he asked around, and thankfully an old lady passing by was kind enough to pay for his fair. Once he got onto the train he noticed how people were giving him odd looks. Not that he could blame them, he definitely didn't look like a normal highschooler. His outfit looked like it was for combat, with armor plating, reinforced steel boots and gauntlets. And it was also slightly torn and definitely dirty, as if he had been a part of some big battle. 

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his head right before memories began to pour into his head. He bowed his head and grabbed it with both of his hands, a look of fear and surprise covering his face. He remembered now, or at least most of his memories. He remembered that more than a year ago he had met All Might and that he got his dreams crushed. Then he remembered the meeting with the League of Villains, and how he joined them. He then remembered that he began training, and then it skipped forward a few months where he became an important asset to the League while also having honed many skills. He remembered going with the League to the USJ, and how he had fought with Bakugou. Then the guilt and how he had begun to lose himself to his villainous alter ego. Then becoming AFO's successor, and how by then, his alter ego had complete control of him. And then finally, the war, and how he had hurt people before both him and his friends, if he could really call them that, were attacked... and killed. He remembered how he had been badly injured, and that before he lost consciousness, Taigen had grabbed him and thrown him into a portal.

But if that had happened, then things didn't make sense. Why was he perfectly okay? The only sign he had been in a big battle was the condition was his outfit, but his body was perfectly fine. And so was Tokyo, but it should have been almost completely destroyed. And not only was his body fine, but it was back to being the way it had been when he first met All Might. Simply put, he was scrawny, a toothpick, all the muscles and other signs of his training completely gone. His hair was also back to it's normal black and green as if Izuku had never dyed it to begin with.

Izuku felt the pain in his head subside a bit and looked up. His little freak out had earned him even more glances from those nearby. He grinned sheepishly and looked around the compartment. That was another thing, not only his body, but also his mind. At least to a small degree. He felt a hint of his old nervousness and anxiety, though only a bit. Izuku still mostly had his usual calmer and sure personality. Though he was thankful for that change though, because it helped with Deku.

Izuku gave a small start when he heard a voice whispering into his ear, but when he turned to look, there was no one there. He shook his head and looked back forward. When he did, he noticed something that confused him much more than anything else had. Across the compartment from him was a man in a business suit. But it wasn't the man that had his attention, rather the newspaper in his hands. Deku could make out the date, but there had to be some kind of misprint or the man wasn't reading the newspaper from that day. Because the date was from more than a year ago, in fact it was the same day he had met All Might.
