Izuku wasn't sure what she was expecting. Nothing maybe? For everything to just kinda...stop? Or maybe an after life where she could do everything that she wasn't able to while she was alive. Either way, she didn't think it would feel like this. This...numbness.

Everything was dark, and no sound was reaching her. Definitely not what Izuku was expecting to come after death. And yet she felt oddly okay with it. The darkness gave her eyes relief, the silence gave her ears relief, and due to the strange numb feeling she felt kinda like she was floating. All in all, not a terrible experience compared to what she last remembered.

Then it changed.

The darkness around her turned to a bright white, and in front of Izuku was what she could only describe as a ball of rainbow. Multicoloured light streamed from the ball as it gave her an incredible feeling of strength and love that seemed to radiate throughout her entire being. It was the most amazing thing Izuku had ever felt, and as she stared at the smudge of colours, she saw black figures appear. Figures that were the source of the love and strength that Izuku was feeling. Figures that cared for Izuku more than she could ever know, even if they'd never met her. Figures that would look out for her till the day she died. Figures that had decided that today was not that day.

Izuku didn't know how she knew all these things, but she did. The same way that she knew all these figures had also held the power of One For All at some point in history.

And Izuku smiled.

And Izuku laughed.

And although she couldn't hear anything, Izuku could feel the figures laughing and smiling as well.

And Izuku felt whole, for the first time in a long time.

These figures, these people, were apart of her now, and it felt like they had been missing all her life.

Izuku looked at each person, memorizing what little details she could about each. She never wanted to forget them, because someone had to remember, right? As she reached the last face a sound reach her ears. It made her jump as her environment was previously muted, but it was a sound she knew.

Katsuki.

She looked around her white surroundings but found nothing except from herself and the previous One For All users. She looked back at said users, hoping for guidance, but all she got was the same feeling of laughter. Izuku deadpanned. They were exactly like Toshinori. But then one stepped forward from the rest. It looked feminine, and Izuku could feel the kindness radiating off her as she reached out an arm towards Izuku.

The one before Toshinori.

The thought was pushed into her mind by the figure in front of her and Izuku took a moment I realize what that meant. This figure...this person was the one who trained AllMight. The one who chose Toshinori as her predecessor, and said person was reaching out to her. Like hell Izuku was gonna say no, so she moved towards the figure. She didn't know what the figure wanted, but she could still feel the love coming off the group, especially the figure in front of her. Izuku stifled a laugh at the thought that they felt like protective parents. Watching over her and encouraging her to reach forward. She smiled. Just like Toshinori. And if asked, Toshinori would probably say just like her.

Once within reaching distance, Izuku took a deep breath and grabbed the figure's hand.

Time to wake up Izuku. You still have a lot to do.
