As I walked out of the dorms, I couldn't believe everything I was hearing. This guy was a Pro Hero verbally attacking a student, what was this, middle school? That guy was surely compensating for something. I searched for Toga's Heat Energy; she wasn't that far from me! I activated Mode Three and flew off towards it. Hopefully she's doing alright, god knows what that jackass is doing to her! Thankfully, it only took me about 5 minutes to get there, I landed on a rooftop, I saw V.I. Vanilla and Himiko! I jumped down; I saw Himiko's eyes widen with delight.
"Hey, fuck nuts. What's all this about me being a wannabe?" I yelled over to him.
Vanilla turned around and smiled, "Oh, Leonidus! I was wondering when I'd get to talk to you."
"Say, that Toga girl over there, she's a villain, right? From the League? We're heroes, I'm pretty sure you know the deal." He deviously grinned.
"Don't touch me, you aren't a real hero, you goddamn clown." I coldly scowled.
"What's wrong? Are you saying in front of millions of people that you actually like villains?" Vanilla asked.
He flaunted his set up, I was directly in front of the camera, I saw loads of comments erupting on a screen next to it, all with mixed emotions. I could've sworn I seen Rei say something!
"No, I'm saying that people are watching a fraud. YOU'RE the real villain. Himiko's a damn school teacher!" I countered.
Vanilla got up in my face, "Do you wanna repeat that, kid?"
"Sure thing!" I smiled.
I slammed an Overdrive Fist into his face, and he went flying through a wall. I looked over at Himiko and ran over to her. She was still in tears, I ungagged her and untied her. She immediately fell into my arms, hysterically crying.
"He was... H-He was gonna..." She couldn't stop crying.
I could already guess what she was going to say. That sick son of a bitch... Just by his character, I could tell he treats women like Toga as if they're his personal toys. He emerged out of the wall, acting all high and mighty.
"Did you really think that hurt? Come on, someone like you could never hurt me!" Vanilla cockily claimed.
I stared him down, "I wasn't even using all of my Quirk, dumbass. If my Base Mode is enough to push you around, then you're done for. I'll make sure of it."
"Look at that! Ladies and Gentlemen, is Leonidus defending a villain from yours truly?" He asked the audience of the live stream.
I got in my fighting stance; I wasn't sure what his Quirk was, it could be an ice Quirk given his hero name. But I guess you shouldn't always expect the obvious. His entire body seemingly tightened up and his fists turned into steel!
"What the?" I muttered.
"What's wrong? Are you regretting going up against me?" He smirked.
"Just shut the hell up already!" I yelled as I entered Mode Three.
I charged towards him and kicked him in the neck, he just stood there and took it! He grabbed my leg and slammed me into the ground, I noticed that when he moved, his body untightened, his Quirk must be some sort of muscle-like Quirk! I managed to rebound into the air. I used my Overdrive Whip and wrapped it around him. I pulled him into the air and slammed him into the ground as well! I charged up a Diamond Buster and fired it off at him, he used that other quirk of his and took it head on.
"You can't hurt something that's invincible! You're way out of your league, Leonidus!" Vanilla shouted up to me.
I rolled my eyes and darted down towards him. Our fists clashed; Vanilla threw sand in my face. Where'd he get sand?! He clubbed me in the jaw with his steel fist and I crashed into the wall. He punched my stomach, which nearly took me out of my Quirk. His fists kept flying and connecting against me, Vanilla then picked me up and threw me across the alley. I rolled on the ground, barely able to move. I could finally see since all of the sand was out of my eyes. Himiko rushed towards Vanilla and stabbed him in the shoulder with a rusty piece of metal.
"Gah! You damn whore!" Vanilla shouted as he sent Toga flying back with a backhand.
*THIRD PERSON*
Himiko Toga watched on in horror, as V.I. Vanilla walked towards her, taking the piece of metal out of his shoulder.
"Do you really think that was okay? I've got no problem with killing you, you damn rat!" Vanilla roared.
He turned around and looked at Leonidus, who was beaten and broken, trying to muster the strength to move. Vanilla grabbed the camera he was live streaming with and began bragging.
"You see folks? Yours truly has done it again! I'm cleaning these streets one day at a time. As you've all seen, Leonidus was dead wrong! Now watch, as I vanquish another villain!" Vanilla bragged.
He pointed the camera towards Toga, who was heavily crying and desperately trying to find a way out of the situation. She closed her eyes and guarded herself as Vanilla raised the piece of metal to stab her. Leonidus shot up into the air, in a flash, he was in front of Vanilla, holding the "hero's" arm.
"N-NO! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S WRONG!" Alyx roared.
"Oh really? A real hero would've killed this street scum a long time ago! Don't you all agree?!" Vanilla addressed the audience.
Alyx's Quirk started to flare back up once more.
"A REAL HERO... WOULD DEFEND ANYONE, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE!!!" Leonidus screamed.
"OVERDRIVE: MODE THREE, FULL POWER!!" Leonidus yelled.
Alyx had prepared a Flash Cannon, it pushed it against Vanilla's chest and detonated it! Smoke filled the area, and Alyx fell to the ground.
"A-Are you... Alright?" Alyx asked Toga.
Toga wiped her eyes and nodded, Alyx slowly got up and faced her.
"HA! You turned your back, idiot!" Vanilla shouted from the smoke.
Vanilla's fist turned into steel, "STEEL FIST OF DEATH! YOU'LL BE DEAD ON IMPACT!"
His fist connected with Alyx's skull and sent him into a nearby building. A building that Vanilla rigged with explosives.
"Now, just to make sure he doesn't come back..." Vanilla pulled out a detonator and posed.
"Sayonara, wannabe!" He shouted.
He pushed down on the detonator. The building exploded and collapsed completely. Himiko Toga watched on as she saw V.I. Vanilla ruthlessly murder Alyx. She didn't know what to do, was could she do? Vanilla brushed himself off and turned to face Himiko.
"Now, where were we? Remember audience? Wasn't it, 'Violate', right?" Vanilla asked the camera in front of him.
Thousands of people were cheering him on, agreeing with his statement. Back at the dorms, everyone was in shock with what they just saw. Surely, Alyx wasn't dead, right? Vanilla slowly walked towards Himiko, who had her back up against a dumpster. She tried to run from him but Vanilla grabbed her by the throat. Himiko looked at Vanilla and then at the rubble from the building. A familiar violet-blue light started to shine out from it.
"What in the hell are you looking at?" Vanilla demanded an answer.
He looked over and saw the light, he threw Toga to the side. The rubble floated away, showing a terribly bloody and beaten Leonidus, and a pissed off one too!
"OVERDRIVE: INFINITE MODE, FULL POWER!!!" Alyx roared.
The ground beneath him indented and debris flew into the air! Vanilla used his Invincibility Quirk to ready himself, thinking that whatever Leonidus was going to do was simply going to bounce off of him. Alyx charged towards V.I. Vanilla using his full power.
"SUPERNOVAAAAA...!" Alyx shouted as he reeled back his arm.
"FIIIIIIIIIIIISTAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Leonidus screamed at the top of his lungs.
As Alyx screamed this, he connected with Vanilla's face, the sheer power of Alyx's Supernova Fist broke through Vanilla's Invincibility. Alyx pushed his fist further into his face, slamming Vanilla's head into the ground. A whirlwind of Overdrive sprouted from the impact, opening up the dark clouds from above, revealing the moon. Alyx, covered in blood and coughing up blood, roared in triumph before falling backwards unconscious. Toga quickly caught Leonidus and laid him down on her lap. Tears filled Himiko's eyes.
"W-Why...?" She asked.
Toga then started to remember what Kiko told her, "I've never met someone like him, Toga. He truly does mean well, he's not going to be like these other so called "heroes" I think..."
Toga put her hand on Leonidus' bare bloody chest, he still had a pulse!
"After all the hell we put you through... Everything we've done to you was awful... Why did you risk your life...? Just to save me...?" Himiko quietly said.
"He really is a blessing to this world, you know? I'm sure his friends are glad to be around him. Leonidus, he's truly..." She remembered what Kiko said.
Toga held and hugged Leonidus' head, "A hero... A TRUE hero!"
Soon, she heard sirens, a very familiar sound she heard when she was a villain. Police and an ambulance arrived on the scene, so did Hawks. They put Alyx on a stretcher and took him to the hospital. Hawks turned and faced Toga.
"Hey, I never thought I'd see you again. I hear you're a teacher now, right?" Hawks questioned.
Himiko ignored his question and watched as the ambulance drove away, "He saved me, would've any of you 'heroes' done the same?"
Hawks didn't answer her question, instead, he sat there in deep thought. If he was able to reach out to the League, he knew exactly who would come running to him for information. The Hero Association has a lot of crooks, Hawks knew he was one of them, but he did it for a reason. People like V.I. Vanilla do it for shits and giggles.
"I won't let him end up like me, alright?" Hawks told Himiko.
She simply just nodded and Hawks helped her get home. Meanwhile, back at the dorms. They saw Alyx's Supernova Fist, but the feed cut out as soon as he hit the move on Vanilla. Momo shot up and quickly went to the door.
"Where was that? Where?" Momo frantically questioned.
"That looked like one of the alleyways by the Etro Outlet!" Kaminari told her.
Iida stopped Momo, "Yaoyorozu, we can't be heading out this late at night! I'm sure Mr. Aizawa and the other Pro Heroes will address this tomorrow."
Momo stopped and sighed, she walked back towards the common room. Kiko and Dabi heard the news and rushed to the hospital where Alyx would've most likely been at. They both entered the hospital and the front desk attendant looked a bit alarmed.
"O-Oh! Um... H-Hello? How may I help you?" The attendant wondered.
Dabi leaned on the table, "A kid who goes by, 'Leonidus', was taken here, what room are they in?"
The attendant pointed down a corridor, "D-Down the hallway there, it's the very last door on the left!"
Both of them hurried down the hallway, and got to the last door. They entered it, they saw Alyx hooked up to a respirator, he seemed to be on life support! Kiko out her hand on Alyx's head and chest.
"Holy hell! He's on fire!" Kiko exclaimed.
*LEONIDUS P.O.V.*
I slowly opened my eyes, I didn't really have the strength to opened them all the way, but I could see somewhat. I noticed I was in the hospital, there were two people standing next to my bed.
"K-Ki... ko...? D-Da... Dabi?" I croaked
Kiko was cooling me down, "Hey, kid, how are you feeling?"
"I-I'm... Okay..." I responded.
"That's good! That's good..." Kiko smiled.
Dabi walked over, "You're a strong kid, you're gonna be alright."
"T-Thank you... Dabi..." I said before I fell back asleep.
Before I passed out, I could've sworn I heard Kiko crying.
