Izumi and Shigaraki found themselves with Guinness, as the only female told him what was going on and that they needed to get back home.

But it was easier said than done.

Since they attacked one of Tarakudo's Generals.

Now they have targets on their backs.

"I can't believe it. One minute I'm getting ready To destroy a bunch of wannabe heroes. And the next thing I know, I have to play nice to one of them To find a way back home and destroy some Demon overlord." Shigaraki grumbled.

"Hey I didn't ask for it to happen either. Some of my cards like Return aren't working either, so we are stuck here until Tarakudo is dead." Izumi said as they traveled.

They also hit a village where Izumi spotted another familiar being.

It was Count D, only he was much younger, hair was long....wait, he doesn't have heterochromatic eyes.....this is Count's great grandfather, Count C.

"Guinness. It's been a while. And I see you brought guests. Bliss is here too. She's in her chrysalis state." He said.

Bliss as well, only she didn't have her wings, and was still a chrysalis.

--------------------
At dinner, Izumi and Shigaraki a bowl of rice as the staple, accompanied by various seafood dishes like grilled fish, dried fish, shellfish, and possibly some vegetables, often served with a soup and pickled vegetables.

Retelling what had happened, Count C looked really happy.

"So it's finally happening. The Green Spring
and the Mourning Death Tree have come to stop him."

Huh?

Guinness looked at the pair. "Well, it has been foretold that a child of the Green Valley and a child of the Mourning Death Tree would appear to unite 10 of the most powerful animals in the world. And put an end to Tarakudo's reign once and for all.

Izumi was surprised but Shigaraki looked like he swallowed something sour.

Him? Be a hero through a prophecy?! Sounds like something for a bad video game.

"How could we be heroes? We are meant to be enemies in our time."

"Shigaraki. Names have power. My name means Spring Green. Yours mean Mourning Death Tree. When it comes to magic, there is no mistake." Izumi said. "And if we want to return home, we need to find the others. And I think I know who else can help."

-----------
In certain areas in Japan, certain animals felt the shift as something big was going to happen.

----------
Meanwhile, another Oni General looked overhead at a village.

"Let's go my Mantis Khan. We'll succeed where Orenji has failed." He smirked.

The Mantis Khan have mantis-like arms and four legs that have spikes on them all over. They are completely black with a dark red, triangle-shaped top covering. They have one, glowing, red eye.

-----
Then the group heard screams.

"Run! It's Aka and the Mantis Khan!" Someone yelled.

Izumi looked out and saw them attacking.

She took out Sleep to slow down the Mantis Khan as she saw the leader.

Aka, was keeping a distance as he saw Guinness turn into his Battlewolf form quickly taking down his minions.

"If I destroy that dog and the boy, it'll be hopeless for them......or rather...." He looks at Izumi.

Shigaraki suddenly saw that Aka was heading for Izumi, and before he knew it, he was standing in front of her, turning Aka's hand into dust.

Aka screamed in pain, and then a new voice emerged, like a bright hum.

It was Bliss, and she was emerging from her chrysalis as a full Divine Moth.

She then took Aka into her grasp and struck him with her stinger, killing him.

With their master gone, the Mantis Khan vanished.

The village rejoiced seeing Aka dead as Bliss floated down.

"Bliss, thank you." Izumi said before she turned to Shigaraki.

"You...actually saved me." Izumi said surprised.

".....I didn't even notice. My legs moved on their own." He said.

Izumi smiled. "Well, thank you anyway."
