The final group, consisting of Kuriwa, Konju, Manuel, Y Aruke, Tireni and Keisuke, is sent to a world of heroes and Quirks.

But this world is special.

Why?

Keisuke: (lands on the ground, screams) IT HURTS!

Well, it'll soon be revealed.

Kuriwa: (groans) Yeouch.... It hurts so much....

Manuel: (grumbles) I hate portals now.

Tireni: (moans) Agreed...

Konju: (rubs his legs) That was quite the fall.....

Y Aruke: (mumbles under his breath) Where are we, though?....

Somehow, the group landed in UA High School, in front of Ground Beta. It's night time now, so the stars are shining brightly in the sky.

Manuel: (rubs his eyes to look at the others, blinks) Riwa? Tireni?

Kuriwa: (turns, eye widen) Manuel?

Tireni: (turns too, smiles) Manuel!

Manuel: It's nice to see you guys again! (hugs them)

Kuriwa: Ah!

Tireni: Same here!

Konju: (scans the area, spots Y Aruke) RUKE!

Y Aruke: (head swivels over, eyes widen, rushes over to hug him) KonKon!

Konju: (hugs back) It's nice to see you again!

Y Aruke: Agreed!

Keisuke can only watch as these reunions take place, his eyes fractured and blank.

He remembers those times when he walks into the Agency just as they were kissing or hugging, whispering words of love to the other. Giggles would resonate, and while Keisuke laughed it off physically, tears fell into a full bucket inside.

Keisuke: (stays silent, eyes observe the happiness around him sadly, thinks: I'm so lonely..... Why am I so lonely?...)

Even in the Agency, even when he tries his best, Keisuke knows that there's a gap in his heart.

One that can never be filled.

Keisuke: (sighs softly, thinks: Then again, I don't deserve happiness. Not after him....)

Memories of a scream of pain echoes in his mind. Remembering his blood-stained hands perfectly.

The silhouette of a body falling to the ground.....

Keisuke: (shudders slightly)

Tireni: (notices as the trio stop hugging) What's wrong Keisuke?

Keisuke: A-Ah, it's nothing! (fake smile) I was just thinking of Neechan and the rest! 

Tireni: (notes the stutter) You sure? 

Keisuke: (nods) Yep! (chippy tone) Don't worry about me! I'm fine!

Tireni: Okay then....

Kuriwa: (eyes widen) Woah, aren't you Amano Keisuke from Youkai Watch Shadowside?! 

Konju: Eh? Who are you? (is ignored)

Keisuke: I guess you can say that. 

Manuel: (eyes sparkle) Nice! You're so cool!

Keisuke: (blinks) A-Am I? 

Manuel: Yeah! You act as an ambassador between the audience and the other Agency members! Giving them a person to relate with! I've always admired you for that!

Keisuke: (blushes slightly) I-It's nothing much.... I-I just... 

Manuel: You're an amazing character!

Keisuke: (goes red in the face) I-It's really nothing! 

Kuriwa: (sweatdrops) Manuel, leave the poor guy alone. He looks ready to faint from all the blood in his skull. 

Manuel: A-Ah, sorry....

Keisuke: (sweatdrops) It's fine.. I'm just not used to compliments.....

Tireni: (blinks) Don't the Agency usually give you something? 

Keisuke: Not really....

Kuriwa: Why not? 

Keisuke: Well..... 

Seeing Keisuke look uncomfortable encourages Y Aruke to speak up to help him. 

Y Aruke: A-Ano, what are you guys talking about? 

Tireni: (blinks, turns) .... Is it me.... 

Kuriwa: (does the same, looks confused) Or does he look like Aruke-san? 

Keisuke: E-EH?! (looks at Y Aruke as well) H-He does! O-Only he doesn't have the scar on his face!

Y Aruke: S-Scar? (looks perplexed) 

Konju: How can he have one? 

Tireni: I-I think he got it from a major battle or something.... 

Kuriwa: (nods) Don't you know, Konju?

Konju: (shakes head) I don't think so... 

Tireni: I-I see... A-Anyway-

Izuku: Who are you? (soft tone)

The group jumps slightly, slowly turning to look at the source of the voice. 

Their eyes widen upon seeing the trio there. 

Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugou, and Yagi Toshinori. 

Keisuke: E-Erm... 

The scene ends there, with the group looking at each other in confusion.

(The music starts playing as Natsume Amano turns into Shuka's awakened form, then Akino Kin opens up the game system as Ryaku Mizuya opens up his Magical Gates and Young Aruke Kin activates the Nature power.)

(Tadeoniu Ranero and Tireni Remira are in battle stances, both have determined faces on.)

(Kuriwa Mamashi and Kaida Desamu fist bump each other.)

(Touma Tsukinami and Akinori Arihoshi's eyes glow red in unison as they transform into Gentou and Hakushu.)

(They all throw their fists into the air.)

(Chaos is watching over them with a smile.)

生生不息从心出发 Shēng shēng bù xī cóng xīn chū fā It all started from inside your heart

(Everyone is smiling for a camera, and it goes CLICK! Then the title of the story is stamped on the picture.)

Episode 23: Despair's Win (?) In a Hero World

Tireni looks at Kuriwa, who looks at Manuel, who looks back at Tireni, as if asking him to lead the discussion. Y Aruke and Konju look at each other, wondering if they should just step up to do the introduction, while Keisuke is mentally facepalming.

Keisuke: (thinks: Are they just stupid or something? Why are they not doing anything at all?) (looks at the opposite group)

Izuku looks hesitant to speak up seeing their hesitation, while Katsuki sighs in exasperation. Yagi looks ready to facepalm on the spot.

Keisuke: (thinks: Geez, these guys are just awkward....) (decides to speak up) I-I'm Amano Keisuke..... N-Nice to meet you all...

Izuku: (blinks) N-Nice to meet you, Keisuke-kun! (smiles) I-I'm Midoriya Izuku!

Katsuki: Bakugou Katsuki. (blunt)

Yagi: And I am the great Yagi Toshinori! It's nice to meet you, young Keisuke!

Keisuke: (smiles shakily) L-Likewise!

Seeing this, the rest decide to introduce themselves as well.

Tireni: I'm Tireni Remira!

Kuriwa: Mamashi Kuriwa, but call me Kuriwa!

Manuel: Emmanuel Remoas, nicknamed Manuel!

Konju: (grins) Konju Rudi! Nice to meet ya!

Y Aruke: (shy smile) I-I'm Kin Aruke...

Izuku: (smiles back) You don't have to feel shy with us.

Yagi:  Young Izuku is right! We wouldn't try to hurt you!

Katsuki: (shrugs) It depends if you annoy me. If you don't, we're cool.

Keisuke: ("gulps")

Tireni: (notices, eyes narrow, thinks: Who does he remind me of....? Argh, come on, Tireni! Use your brain!)

Kuriwa: Anyway, where are we?

Yagi: (blinks) Do you not know, young Kuriwa?

Manuel: (shakes head) None of us do.

Izuku: You're in UA High School.

Keisuke: W-What's that?

Y Aruke: I-I've never heard of this place.....

Katsuki: How can you not know of this place? It's world-renowned.

Konju: (defensive) Hey, don't say that! Ruke and I don't come from this era!

Tireni: (blinks) ... OH! That explains it! No wonder he looked so young!

Kuriwa: I think Nade once mentioned that he found out about his title when he was 14...

Y Aruke: T-That's my current age...

Keisuke: (nods) Makes sense.

Yagi: But at any rate, what are you doing here? (serious)

Tireni: We just fell in here. (shrugs) We were on our way home, to be frank. 

Izuku: Home? (tilts head) This isn't your home?

Konju: (shakes head) We live in Yukon. 

Manuel: And we live in Medan. 

Keisuke: I-I'm from Sakura New Town... (eyes widen, thinks about the list he had made before falling in, thinks: So THAT's why Medan and Yukon were targeted! Because Tireni-san's group's in Medan, while Yukon was where Aruke-san found out about his title!) (mentally slaps his forehead, thinks: Why did I not think of that?! Of course it's related to Aruke-san!)

Katsuki: At any rate, does that mean that you're dimension jumpers? 

Kuriwa: I guess you can say that? 

Tireni: (shrugs) Sure then. 

Yagi: I see, I see.... 

Izuku: Do you want to go in with us for now? It's kinda late....

Tireni: (shakes head) We can't. We have to get home. 

Kuriwa: (nods) We need to save Aruke-san-

Keisuke: (blinks) What's wrong with Aruke-san? 

Y Aruke: (serious) My future self was kidnapped.

Konju: (nods) That's why we're here. To rescue him. 

Kuriwa: Eeh? Lucky you. The rest of us were thrown in here like fishes out of water. 

Tireni: (looks at Keisuke) You were too, right? 

Keisuke: (nods) Y-Yeah... 

Kuriwa: Now that I think about it, where are the other Agency members? (looks around, as if expecting them to pop up) You guys usually come in a packet. 

Manuel: (smiles) I really want to meet them all! They're so amazing! 

Tireni: (shrugs) True. 

Konju: (blinks) I don't understand what you're talking about. 

Y Aruke: Same here! Who's this Agency you're talking about? 

Kuriwa: Well, they're from Youkai Watch Shadowside, and they're the main characters! There's Amano Natsume, Tsukinami Touma, Arihoshi Akinori and Himeno-

Tireni: Hold on, Kuriwa, I thought Keisuke was the fourth main character. 

Manuel: He's right, Kuriwa! Keisuke IS the last protagonist!

Kuriwa: E-EH?! (eyes widen) I-I didn't expect that! I thought he was a side character!

Tireni: (facepalms) AYAME's the side character, not the other way around. 

Kuriwa: O-Oh.... B-But why was Ayame made Jorogumo's vessel then? 

Manuel: To trick our innocent souls into thinking that she was the Princess! 

Kuriwa: But she was much more important than Keisuke at some point!

Tireni: That's why Manuel's not happy with Level 5 one bit. 

Manuel: (nods) Exactly! I wanted Lizzy to file a case against them, but Liz was like, "No, Manuel, we can't do that just because their characters were misused." (pouts) She doesn't get how sad I was to see virtually NO character development for him. For crying out loud, Natsume got a lot!

Tireni: Well, Natsume's loved more than him, so to speak. 

Kuriwa: She's such an inspiring person! Willing to awaken as Shuka to stop Soranaki is just brave and reckless at the same time! That's why she's so amazing and loved more! She's like a lion!

Keisuke: (freezes, his eyes widen in pure shock)

Manuel: (gasps in shock) How can you say that, Riwa?!

Tireni: Agreed! That's just wrong! 

Konju: (looks slightly at Keisuke, worried that he might be hurt)

Keisuke: (just stays silent, looks down with shadowed eyes)

Y Aruke: (notices, feels worried) Hey Keisuke-kun-

Kuriwa: But she's much more important! No wonder Kenji's backstory was never explained! He wasn't important as well!

Keisuke: (freezes up) Excuse me?.... 

Kuriwa: H-Huh?... 

The trio turns, and their eyes widen seeing them all stare at them. 

Manuel: (covers his mouth) I-I forgot that we weren't alone... 

Tireni: K-Keisuke.... 

Kuriwa: I-I.... 

Keisuke: Huh.... So that's what you think of me?... You think that I'm a shadow.... (laughs softly, but it has sadness in it) Wow.... So that's why everyone hates me... So that's why no one cares for me... Because.... Because I'm just a coward?... (slowly looks up to face Kuriwa, dark eyes) You can say that about me, but NEVER. NEVER INSULT KEN-CHAN! (looks enraged, eyes glow red slightly)

Kuriwa: (backs away on instinct) I-I didn't mean it!

Konju: (looks worried) Oi, oi, Keisuke, calm down-

Keisuke: SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! (snarls) IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND A THING, THEN SHUT YOUR STUPID MOUTH! 

Konju: (mouth opens, then closes) I-I.... 

Keisuke: (growls at all of them before storming off) 

As they watch him leave, Y Aruke scowls.

Y Aruke: Geez, what's his problem? His temper is shorter than mine! And that's impossible!

Konju: S-Sheesh.... It's like his shyness disappeared out of nowhere.... 

"His shyness disappeared out of nowhere"?

Hearing that, Tireni's mental mind map adds it in, and it smoothly finishes the puzzle, revealing his deduction.

The deduction both shocks and terrifies him at the same time. 

Tireni: (eyes widen, he goes pale) N-No way.... I-I can't believe I never saw it....

Kuriwa: Huh? (looks at Tireni)

Manuel: What's up Reni? 

Tireni: I-I.... We need to go after Keisuke! (begins running after him)

Izuku: W-Wait up! (follows him)

The rest look at each other before following them.

Manuel: (catches up with Tireni) What's wrong, Reni? Why are we running like this? 

Tireni: I've been having this weird feeling since I met Keisuke that he reminded me of someone... And I know now who that person is... 

Manuel: (blinks) Who? 

Tireni: (looks at Manuel) Kaede Kayano from Ansatsu Kyoushitsu. Her TRUE self.

Manuel: E-Eh?! (eyes widen) You kidding me?! W-Why? 

Tireni: He kept on complimenting her, when he was smarter than her! He could figure out some cases out unlike her! That's why you liked him, right?!

Manuel: (nods) Y-Yeah! 

Tireni: That's the case here! He's an actor! A pretender! The Keisuke we've seen on the screen was a mask he put up! 

Kuriwa: (overhears) E-EH?! 

Manuel: But why?! 

Tireni: Remember the first episode? The only time he was shown to have bravery?!

Manuel: (eyes widen) Are you saying that....? 

Tireni: (nods) I am! I'm saying that Amano Keisuke was hiding behind a mask because of Kenji's accident!

Kuriwa: N-No way! 

Tireni: Yes way. (grim tone) His fit began because you insulted Kenji. I'm beginning to suspect that their relationship wasn't just as friends. 

Manuel, Kuriwa: W-WHAT?! (jaws drop)

Izuku: (looks at Katsuki and Yagi, worried) All Might... Kacchan... 

Yagi: We must hurry!

Katsuki: Oh! 

Izuku: O-Okay then! (rushes)

Meanwhile, Keisuke is stumbling away. His head is aching, his arms are feeling tired, and his vision is swimming.

Keisuke: Agh... (grips a nearby pole tight) W-What's going on- (brief shift of reality which strengthens the pain) Gah....

A silhouette appears in front of him, a cruel smirk on their face.

?????: Hey there~ 

Keisuke: (eyes widen) I-It's you! 

?????: Ho~ How mean of you~ Can't you call me by my real name? 

Keisuke: I-I don't know your real name! 

?????: But you know I'm a bad person~ 

Keisuke: I-I pulled that conclusion after the first dream! 

?????: Hee~ You really are my reincarnation~ I'm so proud of you~ You could make me even more proud if you could just fall into despair~ 

Keisuke: A-As if I would! 

?????: Come on~ Don't be a coward~ No one cares anyway~

Keisuke: I-I... (goes silent)

With the rest, they're closing in on Keisuke's location.

Tireni: KEISUKE! WHERE ARE YOU?!

Katsuki: Oi, Amano! Get back here!

Izuku: Keisuke-kun!

Kuriwa: Gosh, where could he be?....

Manuel: (looks worried) KEISUKE!

Yagi: This is bad! We must find young Keisuke!

Y Aruke: Keisuke!!

Konju: Come out come out wherever you are! 

Izuku: KEISUKE-KU-

Suddenly, a dark green blast appears out of nowhere, lunging straight for Izuku. 

Izuku: GAH!

Thankfully, the One for All user activates his Quirk and manages to block the attack before it hurts him.

Izuku: W-Who's there?! 

Tireni: (whips out his LS out of reflex)

Y Aruke: (grabs his daggers)

Konju: (prepares his nunchucks)

Manuel: (grips his LS)

Kuriwa: (hand goes to take her LS)

?????????? ??????: Hee~ How cruel of you Izuku~

Izuku: (eyes widen, goes pale) Y-You're...!

A falcon-like creature lands gently in front of them. 

Well, it LOOKS like a falcon, and could have been mistaken for one if it were not for its shiny feathers which shined bronze in the moonlight.

Izuku: (stunned) A-A Stymphalian Falcon! 

Tireni: A what now?! 

Izuku: (is trying to accept this) A-A Youkai Monster... A-And a rare one, too... 

Manuel: (looks confused) A Youkai Monster? 

Izuku: W-Well, t-they're the other mythical creatures in this world... B-But they can also be fusions between them and normal animals.... 

Tireni: (eyes narrow) Judging by the name, I'm guessing that this one is the latter. 

Izuku: (nods) Between a Stymphalian bird and a falcon. 

Stym: (smiles) Nice to see you again I~ Zu~ Ku~

Katsuki: (feels angry) I'm going to explode you! 

Kuriwa: Calm down, Katsuki-san! 

Y Aruke: Yeah! We still need to find Keisuke!

Yagi: You youngsters go off to find him first! Me, young Midoriya and young Bakugou will stay behind! 

Manuel: Thanks! 

Stym: Oh no you don't! Dance of Refuting Bullets! (shoots his feathers towards Manuel)

Y Aruke: Not on my watch! (activates the Blazing style) Blazing Inferno! (makes a fire tornado swirling with leaves, it sucks up the feathers) I'll help out too! 

Konju: If Ruke's staying, then count me in! Tireni, Manuel and Kuriwa should go on ahead! 

Kuriwa: You sure?! (looks worried for them)

Konju: Positive! Just go!

Tireni: Stay safe guys! (they try to make a run for it)

Stym: Not happening! Feathery Twister! (shoots out feathers again)

Izuku: No! (takes out a watch and a medal) I won't let you! 

Summoning!

Help me out, my partner Magik! 

Izuku inserts the medal into the watch, letting a cute jingle sound out before a ribbon shoots up and forms a cocoon in front of him. 

Soon, a grey cloud emerges from within.

Magik: Youkai Demon Magik is ready to help! 

Izuku: Magik, stop that twister! 

Magik: On it, Izuku! Misty Barrier! (exhales some mist which goes in front of the twister and stops it, seemingly absorbing it)

Konju: (eyes widen) Woah! Is he a Youkai Demon?!

Izuku: (nods) Yeah! You know of them?! 

Y Aruke: They're demons who were blessed by Hecate right?! 

Izuku: Correct!

Konju: So you know of both species? 

Izuku: At some point! Magik's my Youkai Demon partner!

Y Aruke: Awesome! 

Stym: (growls) I AM NOT LOSING TO YOU! (lunges for them)

Izuku: As if we're losing! One for All Full Cowling, Shoot Style! (uses his feet to kick Stym back)

Stym: G-GAH!

Katsuki: (appears behind him) AP SHOT! (shoots out an attack which sends him forward)

Y Aruke: (activates the Nature style) Leafy Attack! (aims some sharp leaves his way)

Stym: (dodges unexpectedly, kicks Katsuki and Y Aruke back) 

Y Aruke, Katsuki: (hit the wall, winces in pain) A-Agh.. 

Konju: (eyes widen, before narrowing) How dare you!

Izuku: Kacchan! Aruke! (rushes to help them)

Manuel: (looks back, eyes widen, he stops) GUYS, LOOK!

Kuriwa, Tireni: A-Ah? (turn to look, go pale) K-KATSUKI/-SAN! ARUKE! (they rush back)

Konju: DON'T!

Stym: (smirks, he shoots his feathers at them) 

The trio are about to activate their LSes when suddenly, a pulse is felt by the 6 dimension travellers, making them freeze up in confusion.

This allows the group to get hit by the feathers, which also reflect themselves and hit Konju and Izuku, causing injuries to appear, since Izuku was too absorbed with helping Katsuki. The two yelp in pain as they collapse on the ground, biting their lips to stop the pain.

Yagi: Young Midoriya! Young Bakugou! (concerned)

Stym: Time to end you all!

Keisuke stumbles back to the battlefield, eyes widening in horror as he sees the casualties.

Keisuke: (horrified) W-What the...?! 

Flashback to before the battle began, when Keisuke was silent due to ?????'s words.

?????: (smirks) I'm right aren't I? No one CARES~ Not your friends~ Not your family~ And DEFINITELY not your sister~ She's too wrapped up in her own matters to even care now~

Keisuke: T-That's not true! (defiant) Neechan cares for me!

?????: Really now~ Then why did she seem so happy with Touma, Akinori and Ayame?~ Not you~

Keisuke: They're our friends! Of course she would be happy!

?????: But you don't think so, do you?

Keisuke goes silent hearing that, as if he's contemplating the answer. 

?????: See? You agree with me-

Keisuke: I do... 

?????: (tilts head) Hm~

Keisuke: (looks up, determined) I DO! I BELIEVE IN THEM! I BELIEVE THAT THEY DO CARE FOR ME! SO SHUT YOUR MOUTH NOW! 

?????: (just smirks before dissipating)

Keisuke: ... (sighs tiredly) My Kami, I'll need a LONG break after this... (is about to trek back when he feels the pulse) A-Agh... (grips the pole again) I-I have a bad feeling.... (his footsteps quicken as he runs back)

Back to the present time, Keisuke's eyes are huge and pale, his body shaking terribly. Sweat is falling down his forehead seeing them all injured like that, his knees ready to give in any moment. 

Keisuke: E-Everyone... !

Memories flash through his mind, remembering Kenji's death. His shaking increases recalling it, tears falling to the ground from his fear-stricken face.

Keisuke: (gasps) N-No... T-This can't be happening!.... 

Mushi: (sadistic tone) But it is. 

Keisuke: H-Huh?... (feels terrifies, is ready to run)

Mushi's hand reaches out to hold Keisuke back just before he does so, smirking all the while.

Mushi: I have to say, I NEARLY doubted that you were the one. But once I saw her appear in front of you, it sealed the deal for me. (grips Keisuke tightly)

Keisuke: (struggles) L-Let me go! 

Mushi: Hee~ As if I would~ I can't do it when you're struggling like this~ (hums)

Keisuke: W-What do you want from me?!

Mushi: Mou, how did you know that I was looking for someone? Did you gain her skills? 

Keisuke: I-I just had a feeling.....

Mushi: Your gut's good~ (smiles) But will it be good to suffer through your friends' deaths? 

Keisuke: (goes pale) NO! (instincts kick in, he kicks Mushi back using his right foot)

Mushi: (dodges, chuckles as they keep their grip on him) Nice try, Keisuke. But I'm not your average villain. You were SO predictable. 

Keisuke: P-Predictable...?

Mushi: Yep! (pops the "p")  SOOOOOOOOOOO predictable~

Keisuke: (growls, tugs at Mushi's hand)

Mushi: (twists Keisuke's wrist a bit)

Keisuke: (yelps in pain) 

Mushi: (chuckles) 

Keisuke: L-Let me go!

Mushi: Nope!~ Not until you fall~

Keisuke: (understands their meaning, goes even paler) I-I won't!

Mushi: (smirks) You sure?

Keisuke: O-Of course I'm sure!

Mushi: I think I can convince  you otherwise. (twists Keisuke's arm behind his back so Keisuke is facing the battlefield)

Keisuke: N-NO! (tries to cover his eyes from looking at everyone's injuries)

Mushi: (uses his other hand to pinch Keisuke's arm painfully, making him open his eyes to gasp in pain) Watch and learn, Keisuke. Watch and learn.

Keisuke: I-I won't! I won't fall into despair!

Mushi: (smirks) I can refute that with one word. KENJI.

Hearing that, Keisuke goes pale.

Keisuke: H-How did you...?!

Mushi: (purrs) Who wouldn't? Most people may not see it, but I do.

Keisuke: W-Whatever you try on me, i-it won't work!

Mushi: (dark smirk) It already is working. Tell me, Keisuke, has anyone ever noticed your pain? Your silent screams?

Keisuke: I-I...

Mushi: Not even your beloved Neechan! And she knew that you SAW Kenji die!

Keisuke: L-Leave Neechan out of this! (desperate)

Mushi: (ignores him, whispers) Haven't you always felt alone.... Weak... Scared~

Keisuke: S-Shut up!

Mushi: (dark tone) Why should I? I'm being honest. You know that Kenji's death was YOUR fault. You know that Natsume doesn't even look at you anymore. She only does when she fears for your safety. And even then, that's seldom these days because of her dates with Touma. You know that Natsume always gets hurt because of you. Why are you still like this? Why aren't you coming out, being honest about your true self? The answer to that is simple. (smiles) It's because you're weak. It's because you're a coward. Your facade uses a scared personality, but shouldn't it be your main personality? You're nothing compared to her. You're just trying to run away from the truth.

Keisuke: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!

Mushi: You already are, Keisuke~ You're nothing but a shadow. A forgotten one. Some people say that you should have died instead of Kenji, cause Kenji would be much more useful to the Agency than you. You're just a burden~ You should have died instead of Kenji~ Everyone would be MUCH more happier that way~ Kenji's parents, your parents, Micchy, Whisper, Junior, Ayame, Akinori, Touma, and definitely Natsume, because she doesn't have to protect anyone anymore~ She can have fun with everyone without you being a fifth wheel~

Keisuke: N-NO! (tears up) N-Neechan cares for me...

Mushi: You sure? She's forgotten about you~ Why are you delusional? Why can't you stop being such a selfish brat and accept that she wouldn't care if you were in a coffin?

Keisuke: I-I.... (looks down, his tears fall to the ground) N-No....

?????: This is so boring, Keisuke-kun~ Why don't you just fall into despair already? (can only be heard by Keisuke) 

Keisuke: A-As if I would! N-None of you will succeed!

?????: Eeh~ You're so stubborn~ (dark tone) Say, who DOES care for you in the non-fictional world? 

Keisuke: (freezes) H-Huh? 

?????: Unlike your sister, Touma, Akinori and Ayame, no one spares a glance at you~ They don't care~ They're always calling you a coward~ They hate you~ They say that you're the worst~ 

Keisuke: I-I don't care about that! 

?????: Well, you'll change your mind~ Cause you know what? Kenji is ignored too~ No one looks at him~ It's like he was THAT easy to forget~ So AVERAGE~ 

Keisuke: (eyes widen).... N-No one cares for Ken-chan out there?.... 

?????: Yep~! And it's all YOUR fault!~ 

Keisuke: N-No... NO.... NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (screams, his heart aches)

Mushi: (lets him go seeing this, smirks) Looks like it's happening.

?????: (laughs) How pitiful~ You can't even honour Kenji's name right~ You truly are a failure~ What did Kenji ever see in you~ 

Keisuke: I-I... (soft tone) I don't know.... What DID he see in me?... 

?????: EXACTLY~ Have you FINALLY accepted your lack of worth in a world where your sister will always be better than you?~ A world where there is no need for you?~ If you did, then great~ You have NO idea how long I've been waiting~

Keisuke: (chokes on his tears) P-Please no! K-Ken-chan wouldn't want me to-

?????: KENJI IS DEAD~ ALL BECAUSE OF YOU~ ALL BECAUSE YOU TWO FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER~

Keisuke: (grips his fists tighter) S-Shut up... (weak tone) 

?????: Why should I?~ I'm being honest here~ You're useless~

Keisuke: I-I.......

?????: The only way you can ACTUALLY be useful is to let me take over~ That's your destiny after all~ To fall to the Queen~ 

Keisuke: (goes silent) I....

?????: Come on~ Sheesh, no wonder Kenji died so quickly~ Because you're so slow~

THAT hammers the final nail deep into Keisuke's heart. His tears stop falling, all the fight leaving his body. 

Wait, not fight... 

His HOPE left him... 

And in its place...

And in its place....

DESPAIR comes in and wraps its slippery tendrils around. 

Swirls can be seen on Keisuke's eyes as he slowly gets up, a small smile playing on his lips.

Keisuke: So this is despair... (smiles) No wonder you like it so much.... It feels so... Beautiful... (eyes start glowing red) Ahaha... AHAHAHAAHA..... AHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! (cackles maniacally)

A black mist surrounds Keisuke, engulfing him for a while with only Mushi as a witness to his transformation. From within the mist, two glowing red eyes glow maliciously, a wicked smile dancing cheerfully on his lips. 

?????: Yes... Yes... YES! (laughs happily) I'M FREE! I'M FINALLY FREE! 

Mushi: (grins darkly) Nice to know. Now, I have a little something that you might be interested in doing. 

?????: Hm~ (Keisuke looks at them) I guess that I can help, since you DID help weaken his defences a bit~

Mushi: Great~ Now here's what you have to do...

The scene then switches to the battlefield, where Magik and Yagi are the only line of defence against Stym. Magik is sending attack after attack to block the incoming offence, while Yagi is dealing with the casualties.

Kuriwa: (yelps) B-Be careful! That hurts Yagi-san! 

Yagi: My apologies! I am not skilled in healing people!

Izuku: (winces) I-It's better than nothing! We still have to find Keisuke-kun!

Tireni: (nods) Yeah-

Manuel: Get out of the way! (suddenly pushes Tireni aside as an attack nearly hits him)

Stym: (growls)

Tireni: (sighs in relief) T-Thanks Manuel...

Manuel: It's fine... 

Stym: I'm going to end you all! 

Katsuki: As if we would let you do that! (scowls)

Konju: Yeah! We won't lose to you! 

Y Aruke: Get ready to end this guys! 

All: Oh- 

 A scream of 'pain' echoes through the air, making everyone swivel over to the source of the sound. 

Tireni: (recognises it) KEISUKE!

Y Aruke: Where are you?! 

Keisuke?: (giggles) I'm here~ (is right behind them, blasts them with a dark attack)

Caught off guard by Keisuke?'s sudden appearance, the group is slammed to the wall with Stym, making the Youkai Monster lose consciousness as a dark mist exits his body and enters Keisuke?'s body. 

Tireni: Urgh... K-Keisuke?.... 

Keisuke?: (smirks) Hi there~ 

This Keisuke is now wearing a black jacket with a white shirt underneath, white cargo pants and black sneakers completing the new outfit with a single necklace on his neck.

One that Tireni recognises. 

Tireni: (goes pale) T-That's... !

Keisuke?: (chuckles) Looks like you recognised my little bear~! 

Tireni: (the puzzle pieces fall in once more, completing the bigger picture, he gasps) N-NO! Y-You can't be...! 

Keisuke?: (smirks, holds up the bear for everyone to see)

Manuel: (eyes widen in disbelief) Isn't that a Monokuma from Danganronpa?! 

Kuriwa: T-Then that means that...! 

Keisuke?: Yep~ The great Enoshima Junko, SHSL Despair, is BACK!~ (cackles)

Izuku: (goes pale) N-No....

'Keisuke... is Enoshima Junko's reincarnation?...'

Tireni is trying not to break down due to this revelation, while Kuriwa and Manuel are shellshocked. Y Aruke and Konju look so confused, but Izuku, Katsuki and Yagi look away, unable to believe this....

Junko: (giggles) How despairful to see you all like this! Don't tell me you really thought Keisuke-kun wasn't important~ 

Kuriwa: I-I....  (looks down in shame)

Junko: Aww, why so sad?~ Is it because your end is near?~

Manuel: W-What are you talking about?! 

Junko: (shrugs) Nothing much~ Just THIS! (suddenly blasts an attack at them) 

Tireni: GET OUT OF THE WAY!

The group is about to dodge, but a dark mist stops them from progressing, effectively blocking escape.

Junko: Ahahahaahaa~ (laughs) Goodbye to you all~ Come on, Mushi-kun, let's go now~ (disappears)

Mushi: (is watching from above, smirks before following her example)

Magik: (growls) I have no choice now! Portal, Activate! 

A green portal opens up under the group, allowing them to fall in before closing, narrowly avoiding the attack, which hit the wall behind them, leaving a hole in its place.

Izuku: (sighs in relief) Thank goodness... They should be safe now. 

Katsuki: But Enoshima's back now! 

Yagi: We must warn Leader. (serious) This was an unexpected turn of events. Leader should know what to do. 

Izuku, Katsuki: (look at Yagi, before they nod in agreement)

From above, though, a familiar silhouette is watching them.

?????: (looks worried) I can't believe that this happened... First Aruke's kidnapping, now Junko's return.... I have to tell the others about this... The SRS has to be ready to fight. 

With that, they disappear, leaving no trace of their identity at all.

Jorogumo: What's wrong? 

Ungaikyou: Who are you?! 

Tenade: This is the work of a CG. I'm sure of it. 

Chilly: I think I feel something in that tower!

?????????: Please, help us fix this matter. 

???????: Ahahaha~ This is where you'll meet your end~ 

Touma: G-Gentou! 

Ryaku: Come on guys! We have to hurry! 

Mukuro: I'll help you, Tenade.

Natsume: Time to start a battle!

Lucy: Is that her weak spot?

Chenhua: Woah! That's kinda vicious! 

Bao En: Argh... What was that pulse I felt..? 

Kai: You're better than this!

Rasen: I believe that protagonists make the world a better place! 

Tenade, Touma, Ryaku, Ungaikyou, Bao En, Jorogumo, Lucy, Rasen, Kai, Chenhua, Chilly, Natsume: Next time, on Universal Collision, renaming the Second Jump Arc into the Jumping Arc!

"A Fairy Fight", Written by Discord

Ohohohohohohohohoho~ Have I officially shocked you all~

If you guys still hadn't known, yes, Keisuke is Enoshima Junko's reincarnation, and yes, Keisuke and Kenji were lovers. That's why Keisuke's been hiding behind a mask, when he's actually smarter than he's letting on.

How did you love this twist in the story? I'm really hyping the next few episodes, because we're going to wrap the jumping up and go for a final battle! Yes!

Well, that's all from me! See y'all~
