Hero Or Villain, Good Or Evil, Black Or White...

Chapter 19 - Hero Or Villain, Good Or Evil, Black Or White...

- And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. -

'So this was the answer I've been oblivious to all along, huh? I needed to think of One For All and my Pride of a Saiyan as one power, not two separate powers…. Thus, Pride For All is born!' Izuku thought as he stood in awe of the overwhelming power rushing through him.

Gran Torino smirked as he saw Izuku's new Perfected Full Cowl. 'I have never in my life witnessed an aura of power like his! It's amazing how much potential this boy has. He's going to become a real monster in battle when he masters his Quirk.

'I need to think of Pride For All as my own Quirk, and spread it evenly throughout my entire being. What Kacchan and the others can do as naturally as breathing, I have finally obtained through Perfected Full Cowl. I feel so… relaxed. It's like I don't even need to command my body to activate the Quirk anymore. It just subconsciously does and I have so much more control now. Even at only 1% my power is surging!'

"Get ready! I'm coming at you at full speed now! I'm not holding back! I'm going to go harder on you than I did with Toshinori!"

Gran Torino pulls out a stopwatch from his pocket, "We'll start with three minutes. Let's see if you can try to get a hit on me during that time frame!"

'Wow Gran Torino is moving at ridiculous speeds, but, with this new found power I can see him. I can react to him!' Izuku's aura spikes up and gets into a stance as his power rises up.'

Gran Torino bounces around the room at massively hypersonic speeds just like before. Only this time, Izuku has his eyes on him the entire time.

'I can see… I can see!'

Gran Torino then goes in for a kick to the face, but Izuku sees it coming from a mile away, and then meets with a clash as he stops his kick with a punch.

"Oh okay! You're a lot faster and quicker than before!"

Gran Torino proceeds to jump from wall to wall, side to side, and even hits the chandelier as the speeds he's going at is enough to create miniature sonic booms.

"It seems that you are actually able to react to me this time, boy! Not many people can make a claim like that. You might just be cut out to become the next Symbol of Peace."

From wall to refrigerator, to chandelier, to wall, Gran Torino goes for another strike at Deku. However, he is met with another counter.

'This kid is able to react to some of my fastest speeds.' "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." 'This kid is seriously on another level from any one I have ever seen before.'

Gran Torino starts using his Quirk again to bounce from wall to wall but this time Deku starts to match his very top speeds and goes from wall to wall in unison with Gran Torino.

"Oh? You think you can keep up with me? Pretty bold of you, but let's see if you can back it up!"

Gran Torino then began going 100% full speed, now going even beyond hypersonic speeds and was starting to create gusts of wind that were shaking the furniture of the house.

Deku's eyes widened at seeing Gran Torino's Power Level skyrocket.

"So tell me Big Green, you think you have what it takes to keep up with me at my absolute best?!" Gran Torino asked as Deku stood there bewildered at the display of the old veteran Hero's maximum power.

Deku then smirks cockily, "What made you think that I was going all out this entire time?"

"Huh?"

Deku balls his fists and begins charging up his sparking electric green aura. His power began rising and rising until….

"KAIOKEN!"

Deku's electric green aura transforms to a crimson red ki aura which spikes his hair with up higher than before and his muscles bulged, becoming even more defined.

'Oh My God! This is way more power than I had during the Sports Festival! And I even have more control over it! I don't even feel the drawbacks of Kaioken slowing me down!' Deku said internally as he was even surprised at his new level of ridiculous power. Even while suppressing his power, Deku's power was high enough to bend the earth to at will.

"Oh so you have way better control than you did at the Sports Festival. Perfect! It will be much easier training you now that you actually have a grasp on that huge power pool of yours! Now, let's finish this spar!" Gran Torino shouted as he started jetting across the room.

Deku smirked as he reappeared right next to Gran Torino in a flash of crimson lightning.

Gran Torino gasped as he narrowly dodged a kick to the face from the lighting fast Kaioken Deku.

'I barely even saw him move! He's even faster than Nana and Toshinori combined when they were his age! I better be on my guard at all times! This young man can take down an average Pro Hero… easily!'

Gran Torino jumped up to the ceiling to distance himself from the wrecking ball that was Deku.

Deku then went under the couch. Gran Torino shook his head and chuckled, "Don't be stupid! I can still see you! I can end this one fell swoop!"

Deku then punched the couch up towards the veteran Hero, which blocked his line of sight.

"STOOPID, I'm not even gonna let you get the chance!" Izuku yelled as he appeared right in front of Gran Torino in a flash of crimson lightning.

By the time Gran Torino even knew where he was at, Deku was already powering up his finishing blow.

Deku pulled his right arm back as Pride For All rainbow sparks began to engulf his entire arm. And once he was done powering up his final blow, he yelled with a mighty roar…

"PERFECTED DETROIT SMASH!"

Izuku smashed Gran Torino straight in the face as the old man was sent to the other side of the room with a loud thud. Deku's Smash moved at far beyond regular lightning speeds, so Gran Torino, whose line of sight was blocked, had no way of dodging, blocking, or countering the attack.

After Gran Torino got back, he picked up his stop watch and pressed the stop button as he held the side of his face in pain.

"66 seconds…. You did it in almost a third of the timeI set. Excellent job!"

Izuku, with his Kaioken still active, looked at his fist in awe, "Wow, that Perfected Detroit Smash is leagues ahead of any Detroit Smash I have ever done up until now! And the control was Perfect!"

"You really are something, ain't ya kid? You were able to attack me when I was unguarded through analysis and prediction. You clearly put that big brain of yours to good use. You think many things through before heading in straight first. Something that Toshinori had to learn, develop, and grow into, but you already have that down packed. Just since yesterday you've changed a lot with just one attempt… and you made me actually try dodging seriously. With the rate you're going, you might become a monster," Gran Torino said as he continued rubbing the pain away on his cheek.

Izuku deactivated his Kaioken and Perfected Full Cowl.

"Alright, since you've gotten a firm grasp on your Quirk, let's take a short break and have some breakfast! So go heat up the taiyaki again…"

Gran Torino turns to find the taiyaki fish sprawled all over the floor due to his and Izuku's sparring match….

"They fell!"

"I-I'll go buy more!" Izuku yelled as he ran out the house towards the supermarket to get some breakfast.

'I've still got a long way to go, but I could see the light. Pride For All: Perfected Full Cowling! I'll definitely master this power!'

Izuku's Mindscape…

In the deep space within the mindscape of Izuku Midoriya, the Green Sun which represented One For All, has now changed into something even greater. It was exponentially more potent in size, temperature, and luminosity. The energy it had stored within itself was so much that it almost seemed infinite in power. However, the green sun wasn't the only thing that was generating power.

Around it were eight other stars all revolving around the largest green star. The colors of these stars represented the souls of the previous bearers of One For All. The smaller and weaker ones represented the color of the first users from white to blue, to red, and so on until it all culminated into 9th and final one which was Izuku's massive green star.

All 9 of these stars were powerful on their own. But when put together, they created an energy so strong that it held endless possibilities that not even the most imaginative person on Earth could even begin to fantham.

But… that wasn't the only thing that was lurking within Izuku Midoriya.

To the direct right of the 9 stars, were the Sacred Doors. Numbers I through IV were still there, but they were a lot more buffed up than before. Each of of them had an electric green fire surrounding them. The fire was clearly from the from the green sun of One For All. This made the power stored into each of these doors be multiplied exponentially. This will also allow Izuku to unlock the incredible power stored within these powers a lot more efficiently and easier now.

However, it didn't end there….

Right next to the fourth door, were a new batch of doors that have manifested inside of Izuku's mindscape.

The first one was red in color and had crimson hot flames surrounding it. The numbered Sacred Doors completely paled in comparison to this one. The power it stored was infinitely greater than anything even the Fourth Door could produce. It was in a whole other realm of power. It dwarfed all of the ones before it in size, and there was a giant crimson dragon made of flames engraved on the door as it burned with the heat of a mighty inferno. It emanated divinity as the dragon roared, shaking the very fabric of the universe within the mindscape. Just like the core of Mother Earth, it pulses and swells with bright crimson radiant heat. That red is a clear sign of visceral, primitive power. It is the sparking place for big blasts of raw creation. The energy is so pure and divine. The exquisite crimson energy breathes life into the universe. It is the sonic boom of powerful action propelling one forward. The spark. The red heat ignites the seat of the start of one's physical and spiritual growth. The hot coal of one's perception, and the great fuel-maker for one's desires.

On the door, the word "God" engraved smack in the middle.

The door right next to that was even more powerful and luminant. Instead of red, it was surrounded by blue flames and overall color of the door was light blue. The Sacred Door emanated calmness and inner peace within one's mental state. Compared to the previous door, the power was much greater but it was also more controlled and peaceful. Instead of a red hot raging inferno, it was nice and cool blue flame. But when it needed to, it could get angry, and when it did, its heat and flames put even red ones to shame. This door had a blue dragon engraved on it, and the dragon was a lot more peaceful and rested. It is concerned with the senses of inner and outer hearing, the synthesising of ideas, healing, transformation and purification. Blockage can show up as creative blocks, dishonesty or general problems in communicating one's needs to others.

The word, "Blue" was written in the center of this door.

There was a door right next to that one as well. It was extremely similar to the previous except this time, it was a much darker shade of blue. Take everything that is known about the Blue door and amplify it it by tens of times. The blue flames were much more intense, the temperature skyrocketed, and the amount of pressure that the power was emitting was almost unparalleled. The blue dragon was even more majestic as now it had gained complete mastery over its strength. The dragon contained the power within itself but that didn't mean it couldn't release all of the power if the situation called for it. This dragon represented all of the emotions that fuels the drive of a mighty warrior. This was the peak of its power. The unbridled wrath and pride culminated into the true power of royalty. The royal blue flames bursted out as the heat transformed itself into the power of a True King. A King who had Pride and care for his people. The King would stop at nothing to prove his dominance and to show to his people that he was a King worth following. The King values his people above all else and he will continue to lead them until the day he perished. This was the power of a selfless King, who would sacrifice his whole being just to ensure the safety of all of the people he swore to protect and lead...

The name of this door is… "Evolution"

After witnessing the divine power of all of these Sacred Doors and their majestic auras, one would think that there could not possibly be one more. Surely, there shouldn't be anything else that could top Evolution.

However, they would be dead wrong.

There was one final door that were even greater than any of the previous combined… well technically two.

Located above the 7 previous doors, were two doors that were directly linked with each other. First, there was a smaller door that was black in color with light silver markings. This door marked the beginning of the journey to True Mastery. Even this power was far above of Evolution as it opened up the pathways to grander limits. The power stored within this door kept growing and growing until it leaked out, generating a massive amount of heat. This heat kept on going and going until it lead to something even greater and beyond.

The name of this door is "Omen."

And that heat, it transfers to the door right behind it which was the biggest and most powerful there was. It was completely silver in color, as white hot flames surrounded it. All od the heat that was generated from the "Omen" culminated into the final door which was the epitome of self mastery. The secret of selfishness. This door contained an unrivaled power that even surpassed the gods themselves. It bathed in pure silver light that was reminiscent of the moon. It grants the key of egoism, an extremely rare and advanced mental state. It held transcendent power that surpassed the limits of mortal boundaries. This was the true state with the ultimate offense and defense. This was when a true warrior has perfected both his mind and body. An accelerating rise of energy, not from confusion, but from impulse. This causes the user to only focus on his heart and soul, heating themselves up intensely and wildly. All blocking emotions such as hesitation, panic, rage, sadness, happiness, excitement, greed, envy, lust, pride, fear itself turn to nothing in the flames… and all the Warrior cna feel is himself, his opponents, and the fight. In time, he becomes so hot and fast even such perception grows dim and fades. As he dives into a state deeper than instinct, there he finds… Mastered Ultra Instinct.

The name of this door is "Migatte no Gokui."

All 9 of these doors combined with the 9 stars create the true untapped potential of Izuku Midoriya. His two powers have finally combined into one and have created his Quirk called Pride For All. As the Green Haired Saiyan grows and matures, he will illustrate to the world what it means to be the Greatest Hero Of All Time…

League of Villains Hideout

"So, you want to add me to your numbers? No matter what you want to accomplish, it is necessary to have conviction and desire. Those without it and those who are weak will be weeded out. It is only natural." The Hero Killer Stain said as he stared into the eyes of Tomura Shigaraki, the leader of the League of Villains.

"That's why it turns out like this."

Then, in a burst of speed, Stain pinned down Shigaraki by stabbing his shoulders with his swords. Neither Tomura or Kurogiri could react in time. The Hero Killer's speed was on a whole other level. In a blink of an eye, Stain had already toppled him and seemingly won the fight before it even started.

"Oww… That's too hard. Kurogiri, take this guy back." Tomura grunted as he realized that he made a mistake in trying to recruit the ruthless Hero Killer.

"I-I can't move my body… It must be the Hero Killer's Quirk... " Kurogiri said painfully as his left sleeve was bloodied. It seems like the Hero Killer had also landed a sharp blow on Kurogiri as he attacked Tomura.

"This society overgrown with fake Heroes, where the world itself has lost its true meaning, and the criminals who wave their power around idly should all be purged!" Stain exclaimed.

Shigaraki grabbed one of Stain's swords, "Hey, wait a sec… Not this palm… " He proceeded to use his Decay Quirk to break the sword.

"I'll kill you."

Stain widened his eyes in slight shock as he witnessed one of his swords be broken into pieces.

"You sure talk a lot. Conviction? I don't have anything grand like that." Stain's sword completed disintegrated into dust. "If I had to say… Yeah, it'd be All Might. I feel like I really want to completely crush this society, where trash like that gets worshipped!" Tomura said with a psychotic smile on his face as he reached his palm towards Stain's face. Realizing that he probably shouldn't let Tomura touch him, Stain immediately jumped away and drew a knife as he prepared to fight against the Leader of the League of Villains.

"My last injury was finally about to finish healing… We don't have a healer in our party, you know. Will you take responsibility for this?" Shigaraki proceed to scratch his neck as he angrily looked on upon the Hero Killer.

Stain looked at him in disgust, "So that's who you are…?

"Huh?"

"It seems out goals oppose each other. However, we do agree on one thing-to destroy the present." Stain said as he was able to find some common ground.

"Stop messing around. Go home. Die. I'm the kind of person you hate the most, right?"

"I was testing your true motives. People show their true colors when they are on the verge of death. It's different, but there is 'desire''- a warped sprout of conviction living inside you. How will you bud? It might not be too late to wait until after I've seen that to dispose of you… " Stain said as he outstretched his arms.

"You're gonna dispose of me?" Shigaraki questioned.

"He's moving." Kurogiri stated.

"Kurogiri, I don't want someone as crazy as this to be a party member."

"Tomura Shigaraki, h will be a great asset if he joins us. The negotiations were successful." Kurogiri tried to reason with Tomura.

"My business is done. Now, return me to Hosu. There are still things I must attend to there." Stain said as he licked his lips with a bloodthirsty grin.

Internships - Day 3

Izuku and Gran Torino were once again sparring. Izuku was still currently using 1% of Pride For All: Perfected Full Cowl as he weaved and dodged Gran Torino's attacks. The former Sensei of All Might instructed Izuku to maintain the 1% so that he can be accustomed to it and become second nature to him. He was making good progress as his control was getting better and better each time he fought and was making his way to unlocking the higher percentages of Pride For All.

Both Izuku and Gran Torino met in the middle with a huge fist clash. They then separated as Gran Torino rubbed his chin in thought.

"Let's stop now. If you fight against my tactics more than this, you might fall into weird habits."

Izuku deactivated his Perfected Full Cowl, "I'm not trying to think about tactics right now. Right now, I'm trying to get the hang of my Perfected Full Cowling. Please let us fight some more!"

"No, that's enough. Change into your costume. Let's move on to Phase 2!" Gran Torino said with a smirk on his face.

"Huh?"

Izuku proceeded to change into his Saiyan gear and walked with Gran Torino outside of the front door.

"In other words- Let's go fight some Vllains!" Gran Torino exclaimed as he raised his wooden cane.

"What? All of a sudden?!"

"If you only fight against me, then you will have trouble when you come across a completely different type! The next phase is to let you experience different types and situations! In the first place, this is an internship. Of course you'll be fighting Villains."

"What you are saying is quite right, but don't you think I need more time to prepare myself? I just got this new power. I would like to master it first so that I can use it more efficiently against Villains." Izuku said with concern.

"You've already experienced combat against Villains, right? Besides we're not even gonna touch anything that big. Plus you're a big boy. You are completely capable of handling small fry. You are an exceptional talent so this might actually be a little too easy for you."

Gran Torino waved a taxi cab, "We'll go on a little excursion. Because of the decreasing population in this area, the crime rate is also low. The reason there are a lot of Hero Agencies in urban areas is that there is a lot of crime. And the higher the population density, the more trouble you'll find. Around Shibuya, you'll find lots of small fights that break out on a daily basis."

"By Shibuya, you mean the one in Tokyo?! I didn't think I'd be wearing my Hero Costume in such a fashionable town!" Izuku said flustered as he was a little excited to know that he would be going to the nation's capital.

"You wouldn't get to wear it if you weren't with a Hero, right? Be happy that you'll get to display it on such a wonderful stage!" Gran Torino reassured Izuku.

"Which means, we'll take the bullet train from Kofu heading toward Shinjuku?"

"Yeah."

Izuku narrowed his eyes as he looked out the window in thought, "We will pass through Hosu City… I wonder how Tenya is doing… I'll try to get in touch with him later.

The Hero Killer Stain was standing on the edge of a rooftop before he heard a swirling purple vortex behind him.

"Hosu City looks nicer than I expected." Shigaraki said as he came out through Kurogiri's portal. "So, what are you gonna do?"

"I will reform this city. In order to do so, I require more victims." Stain replied as he looked on at the city below him.

"Is this what you meant the other day when you said you had business to take care of?" Kurogiri asked.

"I see you're someone who understands."

"Hey, what are you trying to say about me?" Tomura said in an offended tone.

Stain outstretched his hands as he took in the view of the city, " 'Hero' is a title given only to those who have accomplished great deeds! There are too many… Too many who act like Heroes but are really money-worshipping. Until this world realizes it's mistake, I will continue to appear."

With that said, the Hero Killer jumped from the rooftop and went towards the city to proceed with his deed of purging the corrupt society of today.

"He talks all high and mighty like that, but basically he's trying to start a grassroots movement, huh? He's so noble I could cry." Shigaraki joked sarcastically.

"You can't make fun of him too much. The reality is that in all the cities where Stain has appeared, the crime rate has fallen. Some critics attribute this to a rise in Heroes' consciousness and shoot him down, though." Kurogiri replied as he realized that Stain did actually have a point.

"That's wonderful! Heroes are working hard to bring down the cost of food, huh? So the 'Hero Killer' is also a 'Hero Breeder'!"" Shigaraki said as he laughed.

"It's too roundabout. We just can't agree at a basic level. And he annoys me… Kurogiri, bring out the Nomus."

A purple vortex appeared as several humanoid monsters came out with their brains exposed. They looked similar to the original Nomu, except they were smaller and were gray in color.

"You think you can get away with stabbing me?I If I want to kill you, I just will. That's all. It will be a wild contest. I will crush your honor and your pride, sir."

Near Hosu City

"Um, this train won't arrive until. Is that okay?" Izuku asked as he was seated next to gran Torino on a train heading to their next destination.

"That's why it's good! There will be more skirmishes then, so it will be more fun!" Gran Torino replied.

Izuku sweatdropped, "It doesn't sound like that much fun, but I guess I understand." Izuku proceeded to open his phone.

"Using his smartphone with someone next to him! Kids these days!"

Izuku looked through his messages with Tenya. He recently sent a message telling him that he will be passing through Hosu today and Izuku asked him how he was.

'He read the message but didn't reply… Tenya usually responds within three minutes of reading the message… We're almost at Hosu Station, huh?' Izuku looked out the window as he worried for his friend.

"Hey, look at that!" A passenger shouted. "That building just exploded!"

"Where? Where?"

"What's going on?" Gran Torino asked.

""Could it be a fire?" Izuku said.

"Passengers, please hold onto your seats." The operated said.

But right as he said , there was a huge crash through the train. Everybody yelled in panic and shock. A Pro Hero was seen getting up as he was bleeding through his mouth due to battle injuries.

"What's with that-?!" Before he could finish his sentence, a large hand smash the Hero's face onto the ground with a violent boom. The perpetrator went inside the train to show himself to the passengers.

"Nomu?!" Izuku shouted in shock. "Where did this come from?"

"Kid, sit down!" Gran Torino told Izuku as he used his Quirk bounce off of the Nomu's head and send him out of the bus straight to a nearby building.

"Gran Torino-Sensei!" Izuku yelled as he ran to the train's opening. He then heard a loud explosion and saw a huge fire on the other side of Hosu city.

"Wh-What is… What is going on?!"

Around the city, there were multiple Nomus causing havoc and chaos all around Hosu city. Civilians were running for their lives as the Nomus set everything on fire. It was a war zone.

"This is good. Let's make this flashy!" Tomura shouted from the rooftop. He laughed in amusement as he sees the destruction that his Nomus stirred.

"Everyone, please calm down! Please return to your seats for now! The Villain is not here anymore! Please wait calmly for the Heroes... " A train attendant said as he tried to get the situation under control.

"Excuse me, sir! I'm getting out!" Izuku said as he activated Perfected Full Cowl and flew away in a burst of green lightning.

"Hey, you! Wait kid, it's dangerous! Hold on a minute… was that just Izuku Midoriya!?"

As Izuku was flying through the night sky, his brain was going a mile a minute.

'They look different, but there can't be that many with their brains spilling out like that. Could it be Nomu's brother? Why here.. ?'

Izuku then proceeded to sense out the Ki signatures of everybody in Hosu city. He found out that there were multiple Nomus sprawled around the city. He tried to look for the source and found out that there were two very familiar Villainous signatures…

'Shigaraki and Kurogiri! No wonder there are so many Nomus that popped out of nowhere! Kurogiri must have transported them here with his Quirk! Crap! I wish I could go straight to them but I don't have any time for any detours. I need to show the fruits of my training… I have to do what I can and save as many people as possible!'

Izuku then realized there were other familiar energy signatures in the area.

"Tenya! Oh no, he's in trouble. His Power Level is going down extremely fast. I also sense other injured people around him. There's also an intense amount of Killer Intent directed at them… it's the Hero Killer! Damn it! I should have know that Tenya was gonna go for revenge. The clues were all right in front of me! I have to go help him quick! But I don't know if I can take the Hero Killer on by myself though… wait a minute.. Hold on is that… "

Izuku closed his eyes as he sensed two other familiar energy signatures. These two were especially... hot.

'It is! Shoto and Endeavor! What a coincidence! This makes this a whole lot easier. Now I got a plan!'

Izuku brought out his phone and sent out a text to Shoto with his location tracking him with it.

Izuku then sensed Gran Torino struggling with a Nomu nearby.

'I should probably lend a hand! These Nomus are significantly weaker than the one I fought at the USJ but they are still extremely tough to deal with for the average Pro Hero. I should also let Gran Torino-Sensei know my plan as well so that he doesn't have to worry about me!'

"It's a Villain!" Civilians shouted as they ran away in fear. Gran Torino came in and and kicked the Nomu away.

"How many years has it been since I've fought in earnest? I've gotten mixed up in something crazy! I won't let you do whatever you want!"

The Nomu screeched as it went to attack Gran Torino. But before it could….

"Perfected Texas Smash!"

Izuku landed a punch to the Nomu straight to the dome. It knocked the creature away as it was knocked out in one shot.

"Izuku?! Boy, didn't I tell you to stay in the train?!" Gran Torino scolded.

"I'm sorry Sensei, but one of my friends is in trouble! He's facing the Hero Killer and if I don't go to help, he will surely suffer the same fate as his brother or even worse! And you know I can't let that happen as long as I'm around!"

"Hero Killer?! Are you out of your mind!? There's no way that you can handle such a Villain on your own! You may be strong but you still have to remember that you're still just a kid and lack experience!" Gran Torino said.

"I'm well aware of that but I already have a plan covered. One of my friends named Shoto Todoroki and his father Endeavor are in Hosu! I've already sent him a text saying that me and him will team up against the Hero Killer, while you , Endeavor, and the other Pros in the area deal with the Nomu. Shoto is an exceptional strong student and is almost as strong as I am! So with our combined strengths, we should be able to take down the Hero Killer no problem! And with you and Endeavor, the Nomus shouldn't even be a problem as his Quirk is especially useful in this situation! I have to do this! I can't just sit around and watch people die! I've already made up my mind!"

Gran Torino sighed, "Well, I guess there's no stopping you. You're just like Toshinori. You just won't sit around and do nothing knowing that you can help. Fine! I'll allow it. I hereby grant you permission to use your Quirk against the Villains! That way you won't get in trouble for using your Quirk without a license. But listen carefully. If for one moment, the situation is looking grim and you know you can't win, grab your friends and leave immediately! Do you understand?!"

"Yes! I'll make sure to stay safe! Thank you Sensei and good luck with the Nomus!" Izuku shouted as he flew off.

"That boy is gonna be the death of me…"

"So noisy… The idiots have come out, huh? I will dispose of them later. Right now… I will do what I should be doing." Stain said. He had somebody pinned to the wall. It was the Pro Hero Native and Stain had reduced him to a bloody mess. It seems as though that the Pro Hero had tried to engage the Hero Killer in battle but was easily outclassed.

"My body… won't move… You bastard… ! Die… !" Native said painfully as he was completely paralyzed. He couldn't do a thing as the Hero Killer continued to have a vice grip on him.

"If you call yourself a hero, you should choose your last words carefully." Stain said as he drew his sword and was ready to deal the final blow.

"S-S-Stop! Please! Don't kill him!"

Stain turned his head to the left to see a black-haired teenage girl with cerulean colored eyes. Her hair was bob-shaped and she had an athletic build. She was wearing a Hero costume that consists of red bodysuit with a white collar trim, a matching V pattern going through her chest and upper arms. She had a white skirt with a red design at the front , as well as a baseball-cap like hat. She has a belt at her waist and straps around her shoulders. This young woman's name was Yui Kodai, who was a member of Class 1-B. She was interning with the Pro Hero Native. When she went on her internship, she did not expect to get caught up in a situation like this. Due to her not making much of a showcase during the Sports Festival, she didn't expect to get much offers. When she signed up to intern with Native, she thought she was only going to learn how to maximize the capacity of her Size altering Quirk. Never in the day would she have believed that she would unironically run into the dangerous Hero Killer Stain as she was patrolling with Native. He wasn't much of a famous Hero so the fact that Stain targeted him was a shock in of itself.

"Kodai no! Run! Leave me and go get help!" Native pleaded as he didn't want to be responsible for his intern to suffer life threatening damage from the infamous Hero Killer.

"I-I-I can't move! And even if I could, I wouldn't run away and leave you by yourself! That's just wrong." Yui said as she coughed. She too was paralyzed as she suffered wounds from the weapons of the Hero Killer. Stain wasn't expecting for the Pro Hero to have an intern with him. She wasn't his target so he was willing to spare her and only focus on Native. But she tried to attack him by shrinking his swords and knives to the point where he would have no weapons to defend himself with. Realizing that Yui was not going to leave him attend to his business, he paralyzed her as well so that he would not get any distractions as he finished his latest purging.

"Well, would you look at that, the young lady is actually Heroic and is concerned for you life, unlike you! Too bad the innocent girl is gonna have to watch as I purge you fake Hero from society!" Stain yelled as he swung his sword to finish Native off.

But before that could happen, a large *clank* was heard as Stain's sword was met with metal.

It turned out to be Tenya Iida as he blocked Stain's sword with his armored leg. However the blow sent Iida backward as he landed on the ground.

"A child wearing a suit… Who is he?" Stain questioned as Iida looked at him with angry eyes.

Yui widened her eyes, 'I know him! That's Tenya Iida from Class 1-A. He made it to the quarter finals of the Sports Festival. He has a speed Quirk! But what in the world is he doing here! It's dangerous!' Yui thought in shock as she didn't expect another First Year student of U.A. to stumble upon the Hero Killer in a random alley way in Hosu city.

"Go away. This is not a place for children."

Iida got up as he stared at Stain, "A scarf as red as blood, carrying blades all over your body… You must be the Hero Killer: Stain! You are, aren't you? I have been chasing you! I did not think I would find you so soon! I am… "

Iida was cut off by Stain pointing a sword at his face, "Your eyes… Are you here for vengeance? Be careful of what you say. Depending on the situation, even children may become my targets."

Iida balled his fist in rage, "Are you saying that I am… not even a target? Then listen, criminal! I am the younger brother of a Hero you attacked. The younger brother of a most excellent older brother! I have come to stop you in his place!" Iida slowly got up as memories of his brother flashed in his mind. The day when he learned that Ingenium was officially retiring and wanted his younger brother to take his name.

"Remember my name for as long as you live! Ingenium. It is the name of the Hero who will defeat you!" Tenya exclaimed with vigor as he finally accepted the name that his brother had passed down to him.

Stain stared at Iida before saying, "I see. Die."

"Like I would!" Tenya yelled as he activated his Engine Quirk and swung a kick at Stain full of pent up rage and aggression. However, Stain swiftly and easily dodged the kick as Iida widened eyes at the amazing speed of the Hero Killer.

"Ingenium. You're brothers, huh? In order to let news of me spread… I let him live."

Stain proceed to stab Iida in the shoulder with sharp spikes from his shoes. He pinned him to the ground as he stepped on him.

"You're weak."

The Hero Killer coldly stabbed Tenya near the shoulder area with his sword as Tenya let out a painful scream.

Yui cringed as she saw one of her peers be utterly defeated by the Hero killer as blood seeped out of his body. Yui is shy, quiet, and reserved girl. She isn't one for violence. She only wants to be a Hero because she cares about the safety and well-being for others. So seeing such a graphic scene in front of her made her want to shut her eyes and cry. The worst part was that she was completely helpless as she paralyzed all over and couldn't move her body at all. So she was forced to witness Tenya get stabbed to death. No young aspiring Hero should have to endure such a trauma like that at such a young age. Especially when you're completely powerless against it.

"You and your brother are both weak. Because you're fakes." Stain said matter of factly.

"Shut up, Villain! He's paralyzed from the waist down due to spinal cord damage! He can't work as a Hero anymore! Tensei is an excellent hero who saved many people… and lead them until now… There's no reason for you to crush him… "

Memories once again flashed through Tenya's head. He remembered the humble words that his brother spoke to him about being a Hero to live up to their family name. A Hero who supports others. Tears began to leak out of Tenya's eyes as depression overtook him.

"He's my Hero… He was an excellent Hero who gave me a dream! I won't forgive you… I'll kill you!"

Stain chuckled in amusement as he witnessed the depressed boy cry, "It's funny that you call me a Villain. But look." He pointed towards Native and Yui. "You have not so much as spared a glance to those injured people. Save that guy and young girl first. Reflect on yourself and save others. Don't use power for yourself. Being taken in by the hatred before you and trying to fulfill your own desires… That is the furthest from what a Hero should be. This is why you are weak. This is why you are a fake. You put your selfish desire of revenge before the selfless desire of saving others from harm. You understand now? That is the hypocrisy of the society of Heroes today. This why I must purge all of them so that this disease of fake Heroes is cured!"

Stain lifted his bloodied sword and brought it to his lips.

"And that is why you must die!"

Stain proceeded to lick the blood off of the sword.

Tenya then felt a painful jolt of shock go through his body sporadically.

"M-My body won't move… "

Stain then readjusted his sword as he pointed it towards Tenya, "Goodbye. You're just an offering to a more just world."

"Shut up… Shut up… "

"If you admire me, Tenya, then I might become an amazing Hero."

"No matter what you say, you are the criminal who hurt my brother!"

As Stain was about to finish the deed he widened his eyes as he felt a new presence enter the battlefield.

"SMASH!"

Just then, Stain was sent hurtling through the alley as an irresistible force punched him with a mighty strength.

Tenya gasped as he looked up to the one who just saved his life.

"Mi… Midoriya…?"

Izuku, who was in his Perfected Full Cowl state, looked towards his friend with a determined expression.

"I came to save you, Tenya!"

Stain looked on in shock as nobody had ever punched him as hard as that.

'That kid… He's the one from Shigaraki's picture...He was number one on his kill list.. He's also the one who shocked the world with his unbelievable feats of strength in the Sports Festival. It seem I've attracted his attention…'

Yui gasped as she looked on who just entered the battle, 'Th-That's Izuku Midoriya! The Class President of 1-A and the winner of the Sports Festival! What is he doing here?! Is he interning here too? And… cool hair!' Yui thought as she witnessed Izuku's new Perfected Full Cowl.

"Midoriya, why?" Iida asked.

"I sensed your energy signature. They also talked about it on TV. That 60% of the Hero Killer's victims were found in places without many people. That's why I searched away from the center of the commotion in the alleyways near Normal Hero Agency. And then I put two and two together and realized that there was a high chance that you were probably hunting down the Hero Killer to avenge your brother. Damn it, I should've seen this coming from a mile away! But thankfully I came just in the nick of time! Tenya, can you move?" Izuku asked.

"No… I can't… move my body... Ever since he cut me.. I think it is his Quirk… "

"It's just as the commentators on TV guessed! So cutting is how he activates his Quirk?" Izuku said. He then looked over to see Native and Yui injured as well.

'I knew I sensed other people nearby! If it'd just been Tenya, I could've carried him away on my shoulder… Damn… this just got a lot more complicated. The Pro Hero Native is here and is that…. Yui Kodai from Class B?! She must have been interning with him and got caught in the crossfire! Great! Now I have to fight him no matter what!'

"Midoriya… Don't get involved! This has nothing to do with you!" Tenya yelled.

Izuku turned around surprised at the words that just came out of his mouth, "What are you saying?"

"Your friend came to save you. That's a great line isn't it? But I have a duty to kill him. If we clash, of course, the weaker will be culled." Stain said as Izuku now stared at the Hero Killer. "Now, what will you do?"

'He's different from the guys at USJ. His eyes are those… of a killer.' Izuku thought as he realized that he was now dealing with a serious person who will not hesitate to kill; him.

'The Pros are busy dealing with the Nomus, and my backup hasn't arrived yet. I have no other choice. It is my duty now to protect the three who can't move and stall for time by myself. I'll try to drive the Hero Killer away if I can!'

"Stop it! Run away! I told you, didn't I? It has nothing to do with you!" Tenya yelled as he practically begged Izuku to not get involved.

"What are you talking about? If you say that, then Heroes can't do anything!"

Tenya widened his eyes at Izuku's sudden outburst.

Izuku balled his fists, "Th… there are a lot of things I'd like to say, but I'll say them later. Right now I have a job to do." Izuku got into his fighting stance. "Meddling when you don't need to… is the essence of being a Hero. I will put my life on the line and protect you all with everything I have! Why? Because it's the right thing to do and that's all the reason I need!" Izuku yelled defiantly as he powered up. His green electric Ki aura flared as the pressure of his Ki created high speed gusts of wind. Everybody present, including Stain, were thunderstruck at the level of power that Izuku was emitting.

"I-Is this really energy from a kid?!" Native said as he never would have thought that somebody so young could have so much raw power within them.

'This is incredible! This pressure is even stronger than when he went all out in the Sports Festival! Just how strong is this guy?! And such a pure resolve! I can't believe I'm in the same grade as him!' Yui said in her head as she had her jaw dropped at such a display of strength. Although the pressure of his Ki was strong, it was also claming in a way. It inspired Hope and told her that everything will be okay as long as he was here. She would dare say that it made him look exquisite. The aura and his vibrant green eyes combined with the raw power and it just created a sense of beauty that made her even blush as his costume outlined his muscular frame.

"Midoriya… just how strong are you?! This power is insane! I've never felt anything like it!" Tenya said as he never witnessed his friend in this state.

Stain smiled in glee, "Yes! That's it! That's what a Hero should be! I like your attitude kid! And it seems as though you have the power to back it up! Now let's see if you can put your money where your mouth is!"

Izuku rushed towards him in an arc of green lightning, 'I have to get close to him in one movement, and strike quickly!'

'To shorten the distance between him and an opponent with a long reach… It was a good decision!' Stain acknowledged Izuku's combat strategy.

Stain then proceeded to draw his sword.

"No! If you get cut-" Tenya yelled.

"I'm well aware!" Izuku shouted back.

Izuku dodged Stain's blade and went through his legs. Stain turned around to counterattack but Izuku wasn't there.

'He disappeared?'

Stain then looked above him, 'No…'

Izuku was above him in the air as he arched his right arm.

"1% Perfected Detroit Smash!"

Izuku landed a clean hit on the top of the head as Stain went tumbling down.

'What's with that movement?! How is he able to control that much power. He's not even breathing hard after that!' Tenya thought as Izuku was much stronger and faster than he remembered.

'Woah, so cool! He was able to weave and dodge his attacks while simultaneously hitting him with a heavy blow! How can someone so big and tall move so fast?!' Yui thought as Izuku's speed was on par with his monster strength.

'Let's go! I got a good hit in! If I can keep, I can actually win this!' Izuku thought.

However, Stain licked his blade. This caused Izuku to feel a jolt of shock spread throughout his body.

'What the? My body… Did he graze me? Are you kidding me?! Such a small graze made me unable to move?'

Izuku looked to see his blood on Stain's sword.

'No… I see… It's blood!'

"You pack quite of a punch kid! But it wasn't powerful enough. It's not that you saw through my movements. You left my field of vision and maneuvered so that you would definitely be able to bring me down… That was what your movements were like. People who are all talk are a dime a dozen, but you are worth letting live. You're much different from these guys." Stain said as he walked to Tenya and pointed his blade towards his face. Izuku was paralyzed making him helpless.

"Damn it! I was careless! Stop it! Please leave him alone!" Izuku shouted but his plea fell on deaf ears as Stain raised his blade ready to strike.

"STOP IT…!"

Right as he was about to end Tenya's life, a torrent of flames stopped him in his tracks making him jump back and dodge.

"One after another…There are a lot of people getting in my way today."

Izuku smirked seeing who had just arrived, "It's about time! What took you so long?!"

"Well your text was kind of sudden. Plus I had to deal with Dad and you already know how he is. You should give a proper heads up in times like this. So yeah, that's my excuse for being late."

Shoto Todoroki stated as his left side was ignited with orange flames.

"T-Todoroki, you too?" Tenya asked.

'He's here too?!' Yui thought in shock.

Izuku grinned, "Glad to see you using your flames! Finally got over your daddy issues, huh?"

"Yeah, thanks to you, I also got over my mommy issues since she came back home. By the way, my parents told me that they invited you to dinner at out home whenever you can."

"No problem! As soon as we get back from our internships, I'll make sure to drop by!"

Shoto then lunged his right foot forward, creating an ice wall to cover Izuku, Native, and Yui.

"But first we have to deal with this! Don't worry. The Pros will also get here in a few minutes. They are almost done with the Nomus!" Shoto said as he launched a fire attack towards Stain who dodged.

"Someone's time will be up soon, huh? This is just like the information about him implies. I won't let you kill these guys, Hero Killer." Shoto said as he stood on guard.

"Shoto! You can't let this guy see your blood! I think he controls his opponents' actions by ingesting their blood orally. That's how he got all of us! He got me because I was careless! Don't make the same mistake I did and keep your guard up at all times!" izuku warned.

"He sucks blood to keep people from moving. That's why he uses blades, huh? I can keep my distance and-"

Stain threw a knife and made a small cut at the side of Shoto's face.

"SHOOT!" Shoto cried out in shock.

"Did I not just tell you to not let your guard down!?"

"You have good friends, Ingenium!" Stain said as he attempted strike Shoto but was blocked by an ice wall.

Shoto saw something in the air, 'A sword?! He threw it at the same time as the knife-'

Stain then reached to lick Shoto's cheek wound but he quickly ignited his flames which forced the Hero Killer back.

'That was close…!' Shoto screamed mentally.

"Watch out! He's super fast so you have to be on your toes!" Izuku yelled.

'He's strong… ' Stain thought as he sliced through an ice wall, only to be met with more ice.

"Why are you two… Why? Please, stop! I've inherited my brother's name. I have to do it… That guy is MINE… !" Tenya yelled.

"You've inherited it? That's strange." Todoroki created another ice defense. "The Ingenium I saw before didn't have that look on his face, though. You've got a lot going on behind the scenes in your family, too, huh?"

"S-Shoto…" Izuku grunted. "Huh?" Izuku noticed that he was able to twitch his fingers.

Stain sliced up the ice walls, "To block your own view against an opponent faster than you… What a foolish plan!" Stain roared.

"I wonder about that." Shoto said as he ignited his left arm only to be stabbed by two knives.

"You're pretty good, too!' Stain said as he aimed his sword towards Native to finally kill him which was his main objective.

"KAIOKEN!"

Izuku grabbed Stain and dragged him through the side of a building.

"IZUKU!" Shoto shouted.

"I can move normally for some reason now!"

"A time limit?"

"No, that kid should've been the last one he got. Neither me or Kodai can move yet." Native said.

'Is this guy's blood type O?' Stain pondered as he knocked Izuku off of him.

"Get back, Izuku!" Shoto shouted as he fired an ice attack. Izuku got out of the way and regrouped with Shoto.

"He takes in a person's blood to keep them from moving. Since I got free first… i can think of three possible reasons. It could be less effective with more people, the amount ingested could affect how long it works, or there could be a difference in effectiveness based on a person's blood type!" Izuku said.

"Blood type…? Mine is B…" Native said.

"So is mine." Yui said.

"I'm type A… " Tenya added.

"Blood type? That's correct." Stain confirmed.

Name: Hero Killer: Stain

Quirk: Bloodcurdle- Just by tasting someone's blood, he can stop their movements for up to 8 minutes. Type O, A, AB, and B. The amount of time he can stop them goes in that order from least to most.

"Even with knowing exactly how his Quirk works, he is still a difficult opponent!" Izuku said as his Kaioken aura flared.

"I wanted to hurry up and carry those two out of here, but he can react so fast, he can avoid ice and fire. I can't leave myself that open. I think our best option is to hold on by avoiding close combat until the Pros get here." Shoto concluded.

"I don't think we have time for that. Shoto, you've already shed too much blood. I'll fight him head on, so you support me from behind! If we work together, we can bring this guy down!"

"That's a pretty big risk, but yeah… The two of us will protect them!"

"Two against one, huh? It won't be easy." Stain said as he got into his stance.

'Tenya, I've been worried about you since your older brother was attacked, because I know well the face of someone who would act on pent-up resentment.'

Izuku launched himself towards Stain as he began to clash with him.

'I also know just how narrow the field of vision can get for someone like that. The day my Mother came home, I told her everything about what had happened and about who I am now. Mother cried and apologized, forgiving me with a smile surprisingly quickly. She said that for me to move forward without anything holding me back would make her happy and be her salvation. The old me would definitely not have been able to choose my old man's agency for the internship. It was so I could experience the fact that he is the Number Two Hero with my own eyes and body and accept that. No matter what a scumbag he is, I had to appreciate the judgment and instincts of the man called the Number Two hero. Everything was so simple! But even though it was simple, I didn't see it.'

"It's your Quirk, not his!"

'Just a few words… Those few words... ' Shoto thought as he supported Izuku with ice and fire as he went head to head with Stain.

"Please stop… I'm already… " Tenya said with tears leaking.

Shoto grit his teeth, "If you want us to stop, then stand up!"

Stain knocked away Izuku. Stain then turned his attention to Shoto as he went to strike the bi-colored teen.

'The only words I can say to you are:'

"Be the Hero he wanted you to be!"

Tenya gasped.

"Ingenium. It is the name of the Hero who will defeat you!"

'What kind of Hero am I? Protected by my friends… Having them bleed for me… !'

"Save that guy and young girl first."

'Hero Killer: Stain. In order to teach him a lesson, I used my brother's name. I only saw what was in front of me… I couldn't see anything except myself…! It's just as you say, Hero Killer. I'm different from them. I'm immature. I can't hold a candle to them! Even so… '

Stain rushed Shoto again.

"Ice and Flame, huh?" Stain said as he made his way to Shoto.

"I would like to see you dodge this!" Shoto yelled as he sent multiple ice shards in his path.

"No one's ever told you? You're too focused on your Quirk. You're being careless!"

Stain then blitzed Shoto as he had his sword in between his arm and shoulder.

'He's a monster!' Shoto thought in shock as he couldn't believe the speed and reaction time of the Hero Killer.

"SHOTO!" Izuku yelled in horror.

'If I don't stand right now… I'll never, ever be able… to catch up to them, or Tensei!' Tenya thought as he got up.

Stain noticed this, 'Damn… it stopped working.'

"Recipro… BURST!"

Tenya landed a thunderous kick as he knocked away Stain and his sword.

"Tenya!" Izuku shouted.

"You got free?" Shoto asked. "That Quirk isn't as great as I thought."

"Shoto, Izuku, this has nothing to do with you two, and I apologize." Tenya said.

"You're saying that again?"

"That's why I can't allow you two to bleed more than this!" Iida said with a new resolve.

"It's no use trying to be reformed for appearance's sake. A person's essence does not change so easily. You will never be anything but a fake who prioritizes his own selfish desires. You are a cancer to society that arps the idea of 'Heroes'. Someone must set you straight." Stain said with conviction as he narrowed his eyes with a violent resolve burning deep within him.

"You're an anachronistic fundamentalist. Teny, don't listen to the logic of a murderer." Shoto said as he tried to make sure that Stain didn't taint Tenya's ideals.

"No, he's right. I have no right to call myself a Hero… Even so… I cannot give in. If I give in, then Ingenium will die." Tenya yelled.

Izuku smirked, "Alright! Now that's the spirit Tenya! I'm all fired up! Let's take this Hero Killer down once and for all!" Izuku shouted as he charged his Kaioken aura and began to show his true power.

"We will see about that!" Stain said as he charged towards Shoto again who responded with a blast of fire.

"Idiot! The Hero killer is after me and that kid in white armor, right? Don't fight back. It'd be better if you ran away!" Native yelled.

"It doesn't look like he'll give me an opening to do that. Something clearly changed just now. He's flustered." Shoto said as he fired more ice walls.

'There's the uncertain element of blood type, and he needs to get in close for it to work. On top of that, it doesn't last very long… Looking at just his Quirk, he's not especially powerful. Taking on multiple opponents alone must be hard for him to deal with. He's gotten desperate trying to kill Tenya and this person before the pros come. He's got crazy tenacity… ' Shoto thought as he kept on spamming fire blasts to keep the Hero Killer at bay.

Tenya tried to activate his Engines but they weren't working. It seems as though the last kick busted the radiator.

"Shoto, can you regulate temperature?"

"I'm not used to it with my left yet. Why? "

"Freeze my legs! Without plugging the exhausts!"

"You're in the way!" Stain yelled as he threw a knife towards Shoto only for Tenya to take the blow for him.

"Tenya!" Izuku looked at the Hero Killer in rage.

'Don't hurt my friends!" Izuku yelled as he flew straight to Stain and punched him in the gut. He then uppercutted him and kicked him to the side of the building. Stain slowly recovered but not without taking some damage.

Izuku looked towards Shoto and Tenya, "You two! Do whatever it is that you're planning and do it quick! I'll hold him off in the meantime."

Stain them reemerged and went straight for Tenya.

"Oh no you don't!" Izuku met with Stain as they clashed.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you killing so many innocent people!? What have they done to you?! They don't deserve this!" Izuku asked as dodged one of Stain's slashes.

"Innocent? Oh my poor boy, they are definitely not innocent and they most certainly deserve everything that's coming to them!"

"How so? They haven't broken any laws have they?"

"Laws?! Exactly, you see that's my point. The system is flawed. They give you laws to make you think that you're doing the right thing but they are not at all. None of these people are Heroes at all. All they care for is fame, fortune, and attention. They couldn't give two shits about the safety of the people or holding true to Heroic ideals. They are hypocrites! Every single last one of them. There are almost no True Heroes left. That's why I must purge this society and create a new and just world! You may believe that you are following a just system, but boy… you are getting played. The higher powers are using you as pawns. They have already place the strings. They discriminate against people based on their Quirks! Not on their drive or passion, but by your Quirk! Something that you are born with! Something that you have no absolutely no control over! You think that's fair and just. To be judged and outcasted by society just because of the luck of the draw!"

Izuku widened his eyes as he processed Stain's words. He didn't want to believe it, but he actually understood some of the things that Stain were referring to. He had experienced it firsthand when he was diagnosed as Quirkless. He was putting the pieces and realized that Stain must have gone through something similar as well. His Quirk was exactly 'flashy.' And it seemed to be more fitting for a Villain even though it had very great uses for a Hero as well. Nonetheless he was probably isolated due to having a different Quirk. He empathized with Stain in a way. It is kind of unfair in the world they live in. Izuku should know that more than anywhere. He was born Quirkless after all. .

Izuku sighed as he looked Stain directly in the eye, "To a degree, I understand what you're trying to get at. I also feel you on the point where we are unfairly discriminated against just because of the Quirks we are born with. It's messed up and it is not right. But! What you're doing is still against the law. And sometimes the law may be unfair, however there is one law that I will never break no matter what! You are murdering so many people in cold blood. Do you understand how terrible that is? You are ruthless. You are a living nightmare and you delighted in every moment of it. You didn't even show a shred of decency or mercy. And that's why it has to end like this? You will have to learn the hard way. How would you feel if it was YOUR life, taken against YOUR will. It's wrong! No matter how you want to look at it, it is WRONG! Period. Point Blank. Bottom line!"

Stain smiled evilly as he stared upon Izuku's determined expression, "You really are something else, aren't you, Izuku Midoriya. Truly a Hero straight to the core! You are the Last of the Real Ones! You're the last of a dying breed! A rare jewel! A true unyielding Heroic Spirit who will stop at nothing to do what he believes is right! But I just have one question for you. Are you going to remain a puppet to this current system and follow the hypocrisy of today's Heroes? How will you end this cancerous cycles of Fake Heroes!?"

Izuku thought long and hard about that, before he came up with a response.

"I-I don't know…. To be honest with you, I've never really given that much thought. But one thing I will tell you… If there's a way to stop it and fix this world, then I damn well will find it no matter what. I don't care what I have to do! I will become the Number One Hero. And I will be the Symbol of Hope that will drive a new generation into a brighter tomorrow! I will beat this. I will bust my ass and work as hard as I need in order to overcome any obstacle in my way. Believe that!" Izuku yelled as he charged up his Ki.

Everybody was shocked at the speech Izuku just gave and his interaction with Stain. His drive and courage to to be the very best was unparalleled. When he said he was gonna do something, you just believed in him. He changed everyone around him as he motivated them to do their best as well.

"You kids are something else!" Native said with a smile on his face.

"You tell him, Izuku!" Shoto shouted with a grin on his face.

"I will do my best to hold true to the ideals of a real Hero just like you!" Tenya yelled.

"I-Incredible…" Was all that Yui could say. Deep within her, she felt a beating sensation that gave her goosebumps and made her flustered when she looked at Deku. 'What is this feeling?'

'Thank you Izuku, and Shoto.' Tenya said mentally as Shoto put ice on Tenya's calves.

'I will fight. I'll throw away my arm!'

"Recipro… Extend!" Iida shouted as he blasted off towards Stain.

"Pride For All: Perfected Full Cowling... "

'If I just…'

'If I just…'

Both Izuku and Tenya simultaneously rushed Stain at full power.

'...have my leg…'

'...have my fists…'

Shoto smiled, "Go get him guys!"

"THAT'S ALL I NEED RIGHT NOW" Both Izuku and Tenya shouted at the same time as Tenya landed Stain with his strongest kick and Izuku landed him with a straight fist to the face.

"They stopped him! Here's my chance!" Shoto said as he got ignited his flames.

However Stain was not down for the count yet. He grab his sword and grazed Tenya's hair.

Tenya grit his teeth, "I will defeat you! This time, you, as a criminal-"

"Keep after him!" Shoto shouted as he launched his fire attack.

Tenya then hit Stain with another Recipro Burst kick.

"And I, as a Hero!"

Shoto landed his fire attack. However the Hero Killer was still conscious.

"What in the world?! How is he still kicking after that!" Shoto yelled in disbelief.

"We hit him with our strongest moves but he's still not out?! What is this guy made of.

Izuku grit his teeth as he saw the Hero Killer still moving.

"I'm not finished yet! I still have one more move I want to try out! KAIOKEN TIMES 3!"

Izuku's power skyrocketed as he cupped his hands into a familiar pose. Cyan energy began to form as an orb of pure power began to grow.

"Detroit….."

The orb of energy began to get bigger and bigger before it reached its maximum size.

"KAMEHAMEHA!"

Izuku fired off the combination energy blast as it completely enveloped the Hero Killer. There was a bright flash of light. After it subsided, there was the Hero Killer Stain… on the ground and Defeated.

Izuku sighed in relief as he deactivated his Kaioken and Perfected Full Cowl.

"It's done. We beat him guys!" Izuku said as he sat to rest.

"Then, let's restrain him and get out to the street. Is there anything to tie him up with?" Shoto asked.

"Just in case, let's take all his weapons off him." Izuku said.

"Good idea."

After Izuku and the others tied Stain up, they went ahead to the street. There they met up with Gran Torino who was relieved to see Izuku alive and well. Other Heroes came onto the scene surprised to see four U.A. students who had already dealt with the Hero Killer, although Yui stressed that she did absolutely nothing as she was paralyzed throughout the entire fight.

Tenya apologized to both Izuku and Shoto for dragging them into this mess. But they told him that it was no problem as what are friends for?

Gran Torino saw something in the sky, "Get down!" He shouted.

A flying Nomu was flying straight towards them.

"A Villain?!"

Then to their shock, the Nomu had taken Izuku and began to fly away with him.

"IZUKU!" Everyone shouted.

'Oh no, if he gets too high, then I won't be able to reach him with my Quirk!' Gran Torino thought.

Unbeknownst to them, Stain had a knife and used it to cut his binds. He then licked the blood of a nearby Hero to slow the Nomu down.

"This society overgrown with fake Heroes… and the criminals who wave their power around idly…"

Stain jumped up and stabbed the Nomu right in the brain. This caused it to fall down, thus saving Izuku.

"...should all be purged."

"This is all… to create a more just society."

Everybody just looked on in shock.

"He saved the boy!"

"Idiot, he took a hostage!"

"He killed someone with no hesitation."

"Anyway, get ready to fight for now!"

"What are you all idiots doing! Save Izuku!" Endeavor roared as now he arrived on the scene.

Stain looked at him with bloodthirsty eyes as his headband came off.

"Endeavor."

Endeavor smirked, "HERO KILLER!" The Number Two Hero was about to send a volley of fire balls.

"Wait, Todoroki!" Gran Torino shouted, stopping him.

"You fake…"

Everybody looked at the face of Stain in horror.

"I must make things right… "

Everyone was shaking in their boots.

"Someone must be dyed in blood…"

Gran Torino stepped back as the killer intent was just too much for him to handle.

"I must take back what it means to be a Hero! Come! Try and get me, you fakes!"

Even Endeavor stepped back as everybody was filled with absolute fear of the Hero Killer.

"The only one I'll let kill me is the True Hero… ALL MIGHT!" Stain yelled as his killer intent made everyone fall to their knees.

"Oh… Is that right?"

Everybody widened their eyes as they heard a deep and strong voice. They looked and saw that it had come from… Izuku.

Izuku began glowing a red fire aura as his hair lifted up and became spikier. His pupils disappeared and his pressure that he was emitting was so strong that it felt… Divine.

"So you think that we're fakes, huh? And that the only person worthy enough to kill you is All Might…. Well let me tell you something…about the Green-Haired Young Man that you're staring at right now."

Izuku walk towards the Hero Killer as his crimson red fire aura kept on expanding and expanding. It was so powerful, that it was sent throughout the entire Universe.

"His whole planet was destroyed. He's the last of a holocaust. He grew up in the dirt. Finding out abruptly how different he was. A kid discovering everyday how cruel the world is. His hopes, dreams and spirit crushed in just a single day. A torture that continued and worsened everyday onwards. But now he has the power to tear the world apart. And he could. With everything it did to him, It should not be his world. You should not be his people. You should be ants to him. Imagine that. Always being on the outside. The pain that would come from always being on the outside. And yet, he took that pain and WILL use it to become the Symbol of Hope."

Izuku then raised his right first. Crimson Divine Ki began to encircle it. He then thrust it forward as a mini red dragon enveloped Stain. There was a crimson flash, and then that was it. Stain was down on the ground, knocked out. Izuku had collapsed. His divine aura now gone he now slipped into unconsciousness.

Deep within the other side of the Universe…

A purple humanoid cat was currently sleeping and having a dream. In that dream, he saw a silhouette. He had seen this same silhouette millenia ago when the Oracle Fish prophesied when he will find a rival that will challenge him in battle.

However, this silhouette began to change. It got taller. The hairstyle changed. And also, he saw 9 stars surrounding it. These 9 stars bathed it in rainbow light, granting it infinite power.

The purple cat woke up abruptly from this dream. He then felt a sensation. A Divine energy that was spreading across the universe and shaking it to its core…

Beerus, the God of Destruction of Universe 7 smiled….

"Finally! I have been waiting for years…. The Return…. Of the Super Saiyan God!"
