The Many Faces of Denki
By Storybird

15 Jul, 2023

The day started just like any other at U.A. High School. As always, Class 1-A was bustling with the usual commotion, their shared homeroom echoing with laughter and chit-chat. Little did they know, today was going to be anything but ordinary.

When Denki Kaminari walked in, an inexplicable surge of electricity crackled around him. Despite his usual somewhat goofy demeanor, his face was serious, almost apprehensive. Something was clearly amiss.

Before anyone could question, a blinding flash filled the room, and suddenly, Denki was no longer alone. Beside him stood a group of individuals, each a mirror image of Denki but with marked differences.

Class 1-A found themselves in the company of several Kaminaris from alternate universes(Denki AUs). Confusion swept over the students; each AU carried a unique vibe, from the ethereal God!Denki to the unsettling Dead!Denki.

God!Denki attempted to take the lead, his divine aura shimmering in the sunlit classroom. He tried to calm down the students and explain the sudden intrusion, but the chaos was beyond his control.

Villain!Denki seemed to thrive in the pandemonium. He began chasing the ordinary Denki around the room, his eyes gleaming with mischief and an unsettling glee.

In stark contrast, Kid!Denki was blissfully ignorant of the uproar, his childish laughter ringing through the room as he chased a butterfly that had fluttered in through an open window.

Lost!Denki and Forgotten!Denki were caught in a heated argument. They yelled lyrics from an old song at each other, their voices intertwining in a desperate melody. "Wake me up!" Lost!Denki shouted.

"Wake me up inside," Forgotten!Denki retorted, his face contorting in frustration. The spectacle was as amusing as it was bewildering.

The scene took a darker turn as Dead!Denki attempted to console Suicide!Denki. His eyes were filled with an unspeakable sorrow as he implored his alternate self to abandon his fatal intentions.

Surprisingly, amidst this whirlwind of activity, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Drowned!Denki, who was silently wiping away water that continuously dripped from his clothing onto the classroom's floor.

Quirkless!Denki observed the entire commotion with wide-eyed confusion. Without a unique power to contribute to the chaos, he felt oddly detached from the rest of his counterparts.

Parasite!Denki, a spectral version of Denki with a symbiotic entity attached to him, was oddly still. The creature's tendrils writhed around him, its eyes glowing ominously in spite of the chaos.

In the middle of the room, MiddleSchool!Denki was crying. Overwhelmed by the chaos, he covered his face with his hands and sobbed, the classroom's chaos a stark contrast to his simple middle school life.

Suddenly, a collective gasp filled the room as Villain!Denki hurled a chair towards Denki, his face twisted in a snarl. The ordinary Denki barely managed to sidestep, the chair crashing into a wall behind him.

"Enough!" shouted God!Denki, his voice thundering through the room. He rose, his ethereal form radiating an aura of absolute authority, catching everyone's attention.

In that moment, everything fell into an uncanny silence. All the Denkis watched as God!Denki floated above them, his eyes narrowed and his cheeks flushed from frustration.

"This," he started, gesturing to the group of AU Denkis, "Is not how we were meant to behave." His words were met with silence as all eyes turned to him.

He continued, "We were meant to learn from each other, to understand our different existences, not create chaos." He glared at each alternate Denki, his disappointment evident.

God!Denki's words seemed to resonate with the alternates. One by one, they began to settle down. The room was filled with an awkward silence, the tension so palpable it could be cut with a knife.

The rest of the day was spent in relative calm. The Denkis began to interact with each other and Class 1-A, slowly blending into the environment. Each understood they had something unique to offer and learn from the other.

As the day came to a close, God!Denki gathered everyone. With a solemn nod, he extended his hand, and another flash of light filled the room. When it faded, the alternate Denkis were gone.

Class 1-A, along with Denki, left the classroom buzzing with excitement. They all agreed it was the most chaotic yet exciting day they had ever had. As for Denki, he sported a wide grin, a new understanding of himself etched deep within him.

From that day onward, Denki Kaminari was never the same. He was more understanding, more serious, and more compassionate. He had learned from his AUs, and it showed.

Chaos had descended upon U.A. High School that day, but it left behind invaluable lessons, and a sense of unity that the students of Class 1-A would never forget. It truly was a day like no other.
