Sweet and Soothing Rage.

{POV Ryuu.}

Red; just a sea of red. Hate; like an unquenchable fire. Slaughter; forsake all and destroy all in your path. Fury; release everything, abandon all restrictions. Blood; consume and wash yourself anew. Kill; everyone and everything, leave none breathing in your wake.

It was like a constant mantra that kept repeating in my head as my rage continued to take over. Until a voice whispered.

[Kill him, kill him, kill, kill them all, destroy, rage, break, slaughter, shatter and forsake everything in your path. Give in to your rage, allow it to flow and consume everything you are.]

The voice started whispering in a sweet and soothing voice. Calling out to me drawing me closer and closer to a strength that was beyond berserk.

The crowd was still stunned silent in fear and panic. There were some that were shouting out, screaming telling me to stop, but I was so consumed by my rage that everything was silent.

Yes… I'll slaughter them all. So many are blinded. Yes… it would be so much easier to forsake them all and kill.

It felt amazing, pure, raw, arousing even as I let my rage consume me. So much so that I raised my cane-ax with a cold and large grin.

Some of the other heroes finally reacted as they rushed to stop me.

But I forced them to stop from one single look as a massive amount of bloodlust and killing intent struck them.

"You touched something that you should have never touched. You only have All Might to blame for the consequences. While I'm also at fault for allowing myself to fall to my rage." I spoke with a cold and emotionless voice as I looked across the crowd before looking back to the still screaming broken hero.

"But you, you should have just kept your mouth shut and never should have stepped forward. Now die."

I swung my cane-ax after I finished as multiple voices screamed out in panic yelling at me to stop or for someone to save the fallen hero. But no one moved as they watched in horror while some seemed to watch with anticipation.

But as my blade almost connected with the hero's skull I froze as I heard a very familiar melody enter my ears, breaking me from my rage. As a pair of arms gently embraced me from behind.

"It's ok Ryuu, your mother is fine. Nezu had her released." Mei spoke gently as she started to explain what happened.

"Don't lose to your rage Ryuu, ribbit. You're stronger than that, I know you are," Tsuyu continued with her melodious humming as she also joined Mei in embracing me. "They just wanted to make you out to be the villain they are saying you are."

Tsuyu didn't say anything else as she continued to softly hum as I felt another embrace me from the side.

"You looked so amazing out there Ryuu. And they call themselves heroes as they use villain tactics. They'll think twice the next time when we go out." Toga spoke excitedly as she glared at the crowd.

I felt my mind slowly starting to clear after I started to look at the scene and everyone's expressions. The looks of fear, horror, excitement, disdain, regret… There were so many emotions scattered across the crowd.

But I was still hardly able to hear that sweet and soothing voice in the back of my mind as its mantra still continued.

[You've already fallen, it's only a matter of time. Will you abandon yourself and fall to your rage? Or will you conquer it and make it bend to your will?]

"Mei, Tsuyu, Toga. Thank you," I sighed heavily while closing my eyes as tiredness took over. "I truly did lose this time."

I removed my cane-ax from the broken hero's head as I looked at the person who was responsible for the entire incident, All Might.

"Congratulations All Might. You got what you wanted by involving the media and my own parents in our fight. You're definitely the bigger man, you win this round. But hey at least I didn't fail saving someone important." I spoke loud enough that a silence took over the crowd.

It was so much so that they turned their attention to All Might himself as they saw his shocked and stunned expression. Expecting a response only to see that All Might couldn't respond.

"And that's not even the best part; he's failed twice. Oh and there is also something that I should clear up. I've never forced anyone to join me against their wills or anything the number one hero told you."

Everyone quickly turned around as they looked towards me then back to All Might then back to me as one of them asked a question.

"Then they chose to be a part of your Villain group?"

"What do you mean villain group," Mei asked with a frown. "It was never a villain group, it's an empire. And we all willingly decided to be with Ryuu. You only heard one side of the story from a failing hero."

Mei's answer stunned the asking reporter as another asked a question that gathered everyone's attention.

"Empire? You're saying that he's building an empire?"

"Yes? Are you hard of hearing? Ryuu has shown from the beginning that he has never wanted to be a hero. If you would have asked some of the teachers and those who were close to him instead of hearing one side then we'd be in an entirely different situation." Tsuyu spoke with annoyance as she answered the reporter.

The reporter frowned as Tsuyu answered the question as they looked back to All Might only to see that he had a slight look of panic on his face. Even some of the other heroes that were a part of his entourage seemed to panic.

"Well, it still doesn't justify the horrible and heinous deeds Ryuu-"

"You aren't allowed to use my name All Might. You can either call me Emperor or Khorne since you've started this." I interrupted All Might with a cold tone.

"Still it doesn't justify what Khorne has done. He has killed, kidnapped, and crippled many heros. He has even harmed those close to him by his deeds. Just look at those that surround him." All Might spoke in a loud and smiling voice.

"Especially his own mother and father. Look at what his deeds have brought to them…"

All Might continued to explain everything from his point of view as he boldly claimed the harm I caused to those around me.

"You're not wrong, All Might. I have definitely caused harm to those around me, but those closest to me no," I smiled as I looked at All Might. "You caused that. My mother and father are proud of me and the things I've accomplished. They knew everything that I've done and knew what I wanted to accomplish."

All Might's mouth opened and closed for a few moments before he pointed towards me wanting to say something, but before he could I spoke.

"Sure you've saved many, helped many, and done amazing things. But I'll never hide who I am, unlike you. My parents, comrades, and lovers have always seen me as me. I won't deny the things I've done." I calmly spoke as I started to slowly walk through the crowd.

No one stopped me as they opened a hole allowing me to pass. Some of the hero's did the same, but there were some that didn't.

"Where do you think you-"

The hero couldn't finish as Mei knocked him out with an electrified hook as the other heroes looked on in shock.

"We're going home. The show is over, but if you want to talk then come tomorrow or," Mei smiled shamelessly as she banged her gauntleted fists together as electricity sparked. "You'll have to deal with me."

The other heroes started to pale slightly as they took a step back as they allowed us to pass through. But when we started getting close to All Might, Mei and Tsuyu stopped.

"You've failed as a hero All Might. I real hero wouldn't have done what you did. Tell sensei that I'm no longer going to, U.A." Mei spoke with disdain in her voice as she spoke to All Might.

"I agree with Mei, All Might you've failed. If you go anywhere near my parents," Tsuyu went silent as she glared at All Might. "It'll be the last thing you'll ever do. And I'm also no longer going to, U.A."

All Might was stunned as he looked back and forth between Mei and Tsuyu then back to me as the light in his eye kept changing. Going from dark to light and back and forth.

"Oh and one last thing before I leave All Might." I smiled as I stopped and looked at All Might.

"Deku is waiting."

All Might's face paused slightly before it started to warp in rage as the atmosphere around him started to become heavy until a loud voice spoke up from behind him.

"Calm down Toshinori," A small old man with a cane wearing a white and yellow hero outfit walked out from behind All Might. "You're falling prey to his taunts just like you've done with All For One. Be better and stop falling prey to your own emotions."

All Might sighed heavily as he calmed down and thanked the older man before he looked at me with his patent smile.

"So you're the one who's been causing all sorts of mayhem huh. Oh the names Gran Torino. Will be seeing you soon Khorne, let's go everyone."

Gran Torino quickly introduced himself before he started walking away as the other heroes followed heading back towards the school. The reporters tried to but when Mei gave them a smile they stopped as we started to head back home.
