As the family shared a joyful moment, Hawk and Izek suddenly entered the room, both with an intense aura radiating around them. Their presence immediately caught everyone's attention.
Hawk: with a serious expression
"Grandfather, something strange is happening to us... Our powers—they've increased dramatically."
Izek: clenching his fists, feeling the energy coursing through him
"It's like a surge we can't control. What's going on?"
Izuku, standing with his arms crossed, chuckled knowingly as he observed the two young men.
Izuku: grinning slightly
"Well, it sounds like your fathers have been up to something reckless again. Maybe their antics triggered the latent powers you both inherited."
Ochaco stepped forward, her eyes filled with concern.
Ochaco:
"Are you both feeling alright? This kind of sudden change can be overwhelming."
Hawk: nodding confidently
"We're fine, Grandma. But this feels... different. Stronger than before."
Izek: smirking slightly
"If our fathers did something to cause this, it must have been something big. Typical of them."
Ellen and Eva exchanged a knowing glance, their brows furrowing slightly.
Ellen:
"Of course, Toshinori couldn't resist meddling with something dangerous."
Eva: sighing
"And Izana probably encouraged him. Those two never learn."
Izuku laughed heartily, his voice filled with pride.
Izuku:
"Whatever the reason, you both need to remember this: your power is your responsibility. Your fathers may have unlocked something within you, but how you use it is up to you."
Hawk and Izek shared a determined look, nodding in agreement.
Hawk:
"We'll figure it out, Grandfather. We won't let it go to waste."
Izek: grinning confidently
"Yeah, this is just another step toward proving we're ready for anything."
Ellen and Eva sat down with Izuku and Ochaco, the weight of their news making the atmosphere tense. Ellen's eyes were sharp, her voice steady but serious as she recounted what Hawk and Izek had been up to in the demon world. Eva, with a more resigned expression, added details about the brothers' bold but reckless actions, their newfound powers, and the dangerous paths they had chosen.
Ellen: sighs
"They've been taking risks without thinking it through, pushing themselves to limits that even we weren't prepared for."
Eva: crosses her arms
"And now, with their powers increased, it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong. They're challenging fate, thinking they're invincible."
Izuku's face fell as he listened, the worry in his eyes deepening. He glanced at Ochaco, who was visibly fuming, her eyes narrowed and fists clenched at her sides.
Izuku: muttering under his breath
"Looks like our boys are about to bring chaos back to our doorstep."
Ochaco's voice cut through the tension, sharp and unwavering.
Ochaco:
"I can't believe this. They've gone too far this time. What were they thinking, risking everything like this?"
Ellen stepped forward, her tone more urgent now.
Ellen:
"We need to bring them back, before their recklessness pulls them into something they can't come back from."
Eva nodded, her expression turning steely as she met Izuku's eyes.
Eva:
"If anyone can reach them, it's you and Ochaco. You both know how to bring them back from the edge."
Izuku exchanged a glance with Ochaco, a silent agreement passing between them. He knew the fight ahead wouldn't just be about confronting their sons but about saving them from themselves.
Izuku: with a sigh of determination
"Then let's get ready. They're not going to face this alone—not as long as we're here."
Ochaco's anger softened, replaced by a fierce resolve.
Ochaco:
"We'll bring them home, no matter what it takes."
Izuku gathered Bakugo and Shoto at his home, the atmosphere tense as they exchanged serious glances. The news of Hawk and Izek's reckless behavior in the demon world had shaken everyone, and Izuku knew it was time for a new course of action. He spoke first, his voice firm.
Izuku:
"We need to put the plans against All For One on hold. Our priority now has to be getting Toshinori, Izana, Ken, and Shoya back. They're already facing enough danger without us pushing them further."
Bakugo: grunts in agreement, arms crossed
"Damn right. We don't need them getting killed before they even face that bastard."
Shoto: nodding solemnly
"Keeping them safe is more important right now. If they come back, we can regroup and come up with a better strategy."
Izuku's eyes narrowed as he thought about how best to get their husbands back without alarming them further. He made a decision and turned to Shoto and Bakugo.
Izuku:
"Shoto, you'll reach out to Karta and Adrean. Tell them to find Toshinori, Izana, Ken, and Shoya and bring them back as soon as possible. Bakugo, I need you to prepare the training grounds here and get everyone ready for whatever comes next."
Bakugo: smirks
"You got it. Let's make sure they know we're waiting, and it's not for a sparring match."

Meanwhile, Shoto contacted Karta and Adrean, who were both stationed in different parts of the demon realm. The two subordinates of Shoya and Ken listened carefully as Shoto laid out the situation.
Shoto:
"Your leaders need to come back to the human world. It's urgent."
Karta: sharp, serious tone
"Understood. We'll locate them and get them back before things escalate further."
Adrean: with a determined nod
"Leave it to us, Shoto. We'll bring them home."
---
In the demon realm, Toshinori, Izana, Ken, and Shoya felt an odd shift in the air. Toshinori looked up at the sky, a frown forming on his face.
Toshinori: to Izana
"I feel like there's a change coming. Do you sense it too?"
Izana: eyes narrowing, scanning the horizon
"It's not just a feeling. Something's happening, and we're about to find out what."
---
Just then, a message arrived through the portal they had set up, relayed by Karta and Adrean.
Karta: voice steady through the communication crystal
"We've been instructed to bring you back, all of you. It's urgent."
Shoya: grins, a rare, light-hearted expression
"Looks like our little break is over. Time to face what awaits us back home."
Ken: smirking
"I don't think we have a choice now, do we?"
Toshinori glanced at Izana and then at the others, a spark of determination in his eyes.
Toshinori:
"Let's go. No more playing around."
Adrean and Karta arrived in the clearing where Toshinori, Izana, Ken, and Shoya stood, their expressions a mix of anticipation and resolve. The two subordinates bowed deeply, their eyes respectful yet full of urgency.
Adrean: with a serious tone, eyes meeting Shoya's
"Lord Shoya, Lord Ken, the plan from the human world has changed. Lord Izuku and the others have ordered you all to return at once."
Karta: glances at Toshinori and Izana, voice resolute
"Lord Toshinori, Lord Izana, it is imperative you come back. There are matters in the human realm that require your immediate attention."
The four men exchanged glances, the weight of their responsibilities pressing on them. Ken crossed his arms, a smirk playing on his lips, while Shoya's eyes narrowed with curiosity and understanding.
Shoya: with a hint of amusement
"Seems our vacation is over. Did they send a full report, or are we just getting the urgent message?"
Karta: a slight smile
"Only what matters most, Lord Shoya. Your families are in need of you."
Toshinori took a deep breath, his expression hardening as he looked at the two subordinates who always called him Lord with unwavering respect.
Toshinori: with a nod of acknowledgment
"Thank you, Adrean, Karta. We'll head back immediately. The sooner we get there, the better."
Izana: eyes sharp and focused
"If this is what it takes to protect them and find out what's at stake, then we move now."
Adrean and Karta moved aside, creating a space for the portal to form. The air crackled with energy as the rift materialized, a swirling mix of dark hues and ethereal light. The four men stepped forward, their minds set on what lay ahead, their resolve strengthening with every heartbeat.
Adrean: to the others, with a touch of reverence
"May the gods watch over you, Lords."
Karta: grins with confidence
"Your journey is far from over, but it's one worth taking. We'll see you in the human realm."
With one last look at the demon realm, Toshinori, Izana, Ken, and Shoya stepped into the portal, their figures disappearing into the light. The moment they crossed over, the human world awaited them with its challenges, family, and the ever-looming threats they were about to face together.
