Izumi woke up the next day and saw that she and Shigaraki were still in the Heian Period. She breathed as she pondered what to do. For some reason, she was with the man who was supposed to be her enemy, but now, for some reason, her Return Card would not work, and some of her few select cards would not work either. At least she can still use the central element cards and some of her stronger ones.

"Ah, I see you are up." The woman who sheltered them smiled as she brought some warm miso soup.

"Thank you. Ah, forgot." Izumi stood up and bowed. "I'm Izumi of the Midoriya family."

"A pleasure. I'm Tsuru of the Fujimi Family." The woman introduced herself. "I'll be back, I'll get some water." Tsuru departed.

Izumi then heard Shigaraki stir. "Ugh..."

"Looks like Sleeping Beauty is finally up." Kero said.

"Huh? What? Where am I?" Shigaraki asked as he looked around.

"Hey, Shigaraki," Izumi said, getting his attention.

He then got mad. "What in the world happened?!"

"More like time. We are in the past. The Heian Period to be precise."

Shigaraki looked stunned. "Heian?! That's about 1500 years behind our time!"

"Least you know some history. Did the Mist man teach you?"

"No........My master did."

That made Izumi pause. "So I was right, you do answer to someone else."

Shigaraki was about to respond when they heard a scream.

"Tsuru!" Izumi rushed and found......

A giant creature with demonic features grabbed Tsuru. He looked similar to a squid.

"An oni!" Izumi then got her staff out and summoned Strength to counter the big Oni, making him drop Tsuru as she hid.

"Ah, another mortal, and this one can use magic. Interesting, maybe I should take you to Tarakudo, I can sense your magic is strong." He sneered.

"In your dreams. Firey!" Izumi summoned Firey out and countered the orange squid with a fire blast, thankfully not hitting any foliage.

It went on for a while until something unexpected happened.

Shigaraki appeared and touched the Oni on the side of his face, making it crumble.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" He yelled in pain, getting away. 'Ah, *Hiss* He destroyed my left eye!' "You will pay for that!" He then leaped at Shigaraki as a commotion was raised in a nearby town that was watching everything.

Izumi then remembered she had something to help. She put something in her bag and flung it at the Oni's other eye.

"AH! My eye! What is this stuff?!"

"Spicy pepper and onion mix. Too hot for you?!" Izumi said as the Oni raised his arms.

"My minions come to me. Destroy these humans!" He ordered as shadowy squids appeared to attack.

"Thunder!" Izumi summoned the kaiju and countered the squids as Shigaraki moved to the paralyzed Oni.

"What could you benefit from destroying me?" He asked.

"Nothing. I'm just in a bad mood and need to vent my anger." Shigaraki snarled as he grabbed the Oni's face with both hands, all fingers making contact.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Oni screamed in pain as it died out, and he became nothing but dust.

The shadowy squids writhed in pain before they vanished, too.

The people hiding nearby were shocked as they came out, along with Tsuru.

"You....you defeated Orenji." Tsuru gasped.

"Eh?"

"You alright Shigaraki?" Izumi asked.

"Hail Midoriya and Shigaraki! Orenji is dead!" One person cheered as the others followed.

"Eh? You're happy he is dead?" Shigaraki asked, a bit irritated.

"Of course. Orenji is an Oni general; he made our village miserable for years, hoarding more food for himself here. We practically lived on the brink of starvation." A farmer said.

-------------------
As the sunset over the celebration, Izumi knew they could not stay long.

"We have to leave tomarrow." Izumi told Shigaraki.

"Leave? To where?" Shigaraki said, eating some fish.

"Probablly another town where the Oni are. I recall hearing of them revolving around Tarakudo, the Shadowkhan king. He also wont be happy we killed one of his generals and send another one after us. If my memory of isekai anime is right, we can't leave until he's dead." Izumi said.

"In other words we have to save Heian Japan from an evil force? Ugh." Shigaraki scratched his neck.

"You're a gamer, aren't you? Do you often play a hero because you secretly desire to? I'm not asking you to quit being a villain in our time, but if we want to return home, we must work as a team." Izumi said.

Shigaraki thought this over.

He is in a bad position due to the outcome of the failed invasion. Plus, master is waiting for him.

And if he is lucky, he could lower the majokko's guard enough so he can finally kill her and brag about it to All Might to make him a failure.

"Fine."
