Toga returned to the base, back in her original form. She still had that sadistic grin on her face, but she was wearing a pair of All Might pajamas.

"Oh Deeku~ I'm baack~" announced Toga, waving hello.

"Why the hell are you wearing that?" Shigaraki growled, glaring at Toga.

"It was all he had, okay?!"

"Wh-Why are you wearing my clothes?" Deku sputtered, starting to panic.

"Toga, why won't you tell us your report? Did you find anything interesting?" asked Shigaraki.

Toga stood up and smiled. "Yep! I not only tons of Izuku's mom's blood, but this notebook too!" Tomura took the notebook out of Toga's hand. He opened it up and read through all of the pages.

"My my, how interesting... Such valuable information. I'll keep it in good hands."

Deku's eyes widened. "Wh-What?! You took my notebook? A-And you hurt my mom?!"

"Kurogiri, turn on the TV." Shigaraki commanded. He did as told and turned on the news channel.

"A 41-year-old woman was just murdered yesterday by what appeared to be a villain who was disguised as the missing UA student, Izuku Midoriya," When a picture of Inko Midoriya showed up, Izuku's eyes widened, "Apparently, the victim was his mother, and it is confirmed that Midoriya is still missing." Then the TV showed a scene of Izuku's house turned into a crime scene investigation. There was police tape everywhere, along with a bunch of policemen. Izuku covered his mouth as tears spilled out of his eyes, "We now go live at U.A. High where the #1 hero currently teaches."

"Tell us, All Might, what are you gonna do about all of this? Even if that student is still missing?"

Izuku stared wide-eyed at All Might. He was smiling. He was fucking SMILING! "We will do everything we can to solve this issue! Do not fear, for I am here! We will not mix up a villain with our student ever again!"

Then with a click of a button, Kurogiri turned off the TV.

Deku was trembling. Why? Why would he smile at a time like this? When his mother died because of his own mistakes?! "No... No, you didn't." He tried to convince himself, gritting his teeth. Everyone eyed Deku and saw that he was growing furious, his blood was boiling.

"What a shame. Those heroes weren't able to save her in time."

Izuku could only face the ground, gritting his teeth. "Y-You planned all of this, didn't you?"

Izuku's heart started to crack.

"We were expecting a hero to show up and stop her, but as you can see, no hero showed up." Shigaraki pointed out, putting emphasis on the word hero.

"It was you who killed her... and nobody came." With every word, Izuku's fists balled up tighter.

Then there was an additional crack.

"A-All Might..." Deku growled, "He didn't... save her..." Tears kept spilling onto the floor like rain, but his fury was starting to grow even worse.

And then another.

"Does he not care?"

The final crack.

Deku finally snapped. His power suddenly flared to life. Then the chains on his wrists and ankles snapped in half. "HOW DARE YOU!" He cried out, tackling Toga down to the ground. Deku had tears pouring out of his eyes as he grit his teeth with anger. He held out his hand with a surge of power rushing through his veins as he punched Toga's face repeatedly. They weren't normal punches, however. Each punch made the floor crack underneath Toga, "YOU MURDERER!"

After about five minutes of punching, Deku finally stopped. He was out of breath as he stood on top of Toga. He was panting heavily as sweat was beading down his face. Toga wasn't moving, but still breathing.

Deku didn't seem to care.

Then he slowly turned his head towards the other villains. "All of you killed my mother and the heroes did NOTHING to stop you!"

"He certainly has changed. The plan is going very well." Tomura thought to himself.

Deku clenched his fists even more. "I will kill all of you..." Deku hissed, showing his vengeful eyes to the villains,"All my life... I was bullied because I was quirkless. Then All Might thought he could use me as a vessel for his own quirk. And now," he choked on his tears, "My mother was killed because of a stupid damn quirk."

Deku threw his chair at the wall as he shouted out in anger, making it break into what seemed to be a million pieces. "There will be no more heroes. No more villains. No more quirks! I fucking HATE THEM ALL!" Following his shout, Deku punched the wall with his own bare hands, causing his knuckles to break and start bleeding, but he only appeared apathetic towards it.

"I'll show everyone just how bad quirks really are..." Deku declared and stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut with a bang.

"Should we go after him?" Kurogiri asked. "Let's leave him be for now. Looks like we finally broke him.

Three more months have passed, and Deku was never rescued. Probably forgotten.

At least, that's what Deku thought.

He was malnourished; he was very thin, pale, and looking ill. He didn't care about that, though. He also didn't care about the 'punishments' anymore. He started to feel no pain from being used to the abuse for so long.

Actually, nothing really mattered to him anymore, except for the guilt of his mother's death. He was devastated, and he felt helpless. He became a hollow shell that has already been broken multiple times.

There was no way to turn him back to his original self.

Deku hated everyone. He hated the villains, the heroes; they were all traitors to him. He also hated himself.

He didn't care if he died.

He didn't care if his friends died.

He didn't care if All Might died.

Nothing mattered to him anymore.

However, he was prevented from attempting suicide. The villains have stopped him multiple times ever since he saw the news of his mother's death.

He was staring blankly at the wall, thinking of all of the things he could do to himself.

Deku eyed at the knife, then his arms.

He rolled up one of his sleeves.

And then there was a slicing sound.

Then the door started to open. Midoriya pulled down his sleeve and looked at the door. Dabi walked in and looked at him. "Shigaraki wants to see you." He set the knife onto his chair and walked out the door with an emotionless expression. Dabi looked at the bloodied knife, then back at Midoriya. Then he shut the door and followed him.

Izuku was standing right in front of Shigaraki with his dull green eyes. "How are you feeling? Had a good rest?" the villain asked, with a slight hint of sarcasm.

"Since when did you care?" Izuku replied without hesitation.

"You certainly have changed, Midoriya. Probably for the greater good."

"What's your point?" The boy asked. Shigaraki scowled internally after Deku's remark. "Someone wants to see you... In person."

"If you're just using me for your entertainment, I am not interested."

"Oh, don't worry. I only wish to speak with you about your new life here with us." A voice from the TV spoke up.

"I am not one of you."

"I am not asking you to be. Tomura will lead you to me, and we can talk more."

"And just who might you be?"

"I go by many names, but you can call me... Sensei."

Deku was standing next to Tomura in a new room, standing in front of a strange man. "Welcome, Young Midoriya. I hope your day has been going well." The strange man said.

"Why did you bring me here?" Deku asked, ignoring the other man's statement.

"Tomura, you may leave now." Shigaraki then left the room and shut the door.

"Now, I have a deal to make with you." "What is there to gain from me anymore?" "You are still of much worth, Young Midoriya. Your power isn't the only thing that matters."

"Then what is the deal?" Deku asked, crossing his arms.

"Do you remember All Might and the other Pro Heroes?"

"Yes."

"Good... I need you to get rid of them for me."

"Why can't you and your villain team do it yourself? Why me?"

"I would do it myself, but I am still recovering from the event from five years ago, as you can see, and the other villains always seem to fail their missions. You, however, are far more capable than those other villains. With your strength and knowledge, the 'heroes' will fall to their demise."

"And what will I get out of this?"

"You remember that fight with the slime creature? How those heroes scolded you when you tried to save your 'friend'? Then All Might thought you were the 'perfect vessel'? The Symbol of Peace is using you, Midoriya, but I would never do the same. You will finally get the recognition you deserve, and you will be free to do as you please. There will be no more rules, no more 'pawns'. Show them how strong you really are, and you will no longer be looked down upon. What do you say?"

Deku looked at him for a couple of seconds to think, "You may kill whoever you please. I believe you have some people that you'd like to get even with?" The man asked. Deku's eyes widened when a sudden flashback of Kaachan appeared in his head.

"Kacchan..."

"So, will you accept our offer?" Deku looked up at the man.

"I guess I have no choice but to follow his orders for now. I will kill him at a better time, once he trusts me."

"Very well."

"You have one month, Midoriya. Do not disappoint me."

Deku wore his hero outfit since it was the only outfit that he had at the moment. Toga found it in his house while she was there. He was wearing an old black cloak over top of it, easily blending in with the crowd.

He was walking through the streets of Musutafu. As he was stuck in thought, he spotted a poster that popped out. He looked up at it on the telephone pole. It had a picture of his face on it. He read the words in his head.

"Missing..." he murmured. He ripped the paper off of the pole and crumbled it up, then threw it on the ground.

"Heroes are worthless... They have rules to follow from the stupid government, and people just bribe them to save the day. It sickens me... They only care about their fame," Deku thought to himself, "Now... which hero should I kill first?" He thought for a moment again, then coming up with an idea. "If I killed a bystander, then maybe Death Arms would be called to deal with the situation. He is a strong fighter who excels in close-range combat. I will have to keep my distance. He is quite slow and not very intelligent, however, so this would be simple. I might even attract All Might. Oh, how he would love to see me again..." Deku smirked evilly as he went into the alleyway, waiting for a victim.

The streets were starting to clear out, which was good for Midoriya. Then he spotted a young man who looks to be in his late 20s.

"Now's my chance." He walked up behind the man once he passed him and held his mouth shut. "It's nothing personal, sir." He said with a smile, holding out a knife from his pocket. The man grew afraid and started struggling for his life, but it was no use. Deku pierced the knife through his gut and dropped him to the floor. He fell to his hands and knees and started coughing up blood. Izuku kneeled down to his height with a smirk.

"Oh, it seems you didn't die yet. Here, let me stop the suffering for you." He grabbed onto the man's neck and snapped it, killing him in an instant. Then, he disappeared into the shadows.

A week has passed, and more murdered victims were reported every day. Wanted posters were hanging all around the city with Deku's face under a cloak. Most of his features were hidden except for his mouth. No one was able to identify the murderer as the missing boy that was gone for almost eight months. The pro heroes were on high alert, searching out for the wanted person, even All Might. The teachers and he were guarding the school, preventing the killer from killing the students.

Deku was in the League of Villains' bar and watched the news play out on the TV.

"About three more murders were reported today, and each of the victims was connected to the school of U.A. Each of the victims was killed by this new villain who people call 'The Demon.' All pro heroes are on high alert for everyone's protection. It is best to stay indoors-" Deku turned off the TV and smirked.

"How come I was able to kill 23 victims in a week and you only injured a couple of people at the USJ attack? Not to mention your little 'camp ambush' as well."

Tomura scowled at Deku. "Don't boast about your accomplishments, Midoriya..."

"Why not? No one even knows what my real identity is yet. The U.A. has a whole documentation about each of you, however."

"He's got a point, sir-" Kurogiri got interrupted by the boy covered in hands.

"Shut up, Kurogiri!" He turned his head towards Deku with an angry look. He wasn't phased by it at all, "Just wait until All Might finds out about you. You're as good as DEAD."

"Clearly you don't know anything about All Might. He wouldn't dare to kill me. I would only become a prisoner if he's lucky enough."

"Don't get cocky with me, boy... You're already getting on my nerves. Master is growing impatient... you should have killed at least one pro hero by now..."

"Those bastards are too afraid to get murdered. They'd rather save their own lives than someone else's. A real hero wouldn't act like that."

"Then maybe you should go find them instead of trying to attract them!"

"Then what would be the point of my plan?"

"You never even told me your goddamn plan!"

"I thought it would be obvious for you, but apparently not."

"By attracting the heroes, the media will follow. There have already been many news reports about U.A. still not finding the 'missing' boy. When everyone sees that their student has turned into a villain, it will be all over. Once the public sees that the heroes haven't stopped the 'bad guys' yet, they will lose their trust in them. Soon the government will shut them down, and there will be no more heroes. Then they will grow vulnerable because of the restrictions. That's when the demon strikes."

"Or is it that you're afraid to fight them at their full strength?"

"If you knew the situation, perhaps you wouldn't start jumping into fights with pro heroes. You're just asking for a deathwish if you choose to defeat them all with no strategy whatsoever."

Tomura clenched his fists. "Just you watch, Midoriya... I will defeat the heroes myself if I have to. I was able to nearly kill one, and I can do it again."

"Wasn't that Nomu? Didn't that creature injure Aizawa while you just stood there and watched?"

Then Tomura held out his hand. "I could kill you in an instant if I wanted to..." "Then what's stopping you?"

"You know damn well, Midoriya... Master wants to keep you alive."

"Then he must really trust me. Such a shame that he hasn't assigned you with this mission."

"Hey guys, I think you should break it up." Kurogiri said, walking in between the two.

"I guess I'll go out and kill more civilians then," Deku walked out of the bar with an evil smirk plastered across his face as he pulled up his hood, "Let's see just how useful their quirks really are."

Bakugou was walking through the streets of Musutafu looking as pissed off as ever. "I can't believe I have to wear this fucking outfit because the teachers are underestimating me. I can kill ten villains in five minutes! JUST WATCH ME, YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!" Bakugou shouted to himself. He kicked down some trash cans out of anger and stomped forward. As he angrily walked his way home, he started smelling something unusual. "Tch. What, are the villains out doing another killing spree again? Pathetic. They have nothing better to do with their li- WHAT THE FUCK?!" he froze in his place when he spotted a corpse lying in the middle of the road, "Sh-shit..." He kneeled next to the corpse to see a stab wound and a broken neck, "It's just like those reported murders... That bitch must be around here!"

When he looked up, he was able to spot more and more bodies in the distance. His eyes widened with shock, "5... 6... 7... 8 people killed already?!" Bakugou shouted to himself.He decided to walk along the trail of bodies. After he passes the fifth person, he spotted a figure in a cloak facing his back towards him. Bakugou could see its bloody hands and stained knife, and knowing him, he ran towards the figure without thinking. "I FOUND YOU, YOU GENOCIDAL MANIAC!" He shouted, lifting up his fist for a punch.

The figure turned his head. "Oh, it's you... I was waiting for a pro-hero to show up..." Deku said. That made Bakugou stop in his tracks.

"I'M A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THOSE STUPID PRO-HEROES, VILLAIN! YOU HEAR ME?!" He shouted. He lunged towards the figure and started storing up power.

"Oh, but of course. However..." His eyes widened when the figure turned around and grabbed onto his fist, "I want quirks to go extinct."

"Who the hell would not want a quirk?! Those quirkless brats can just go kill themselves!"

The figure grinned. "Oh, Kacchan... You never change, do you? What about your missing friend? I hear that he was born quirkless."

"DEKU IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS! I BET YOU KILLED HIM, YOU FREAK!" Then the cloaked man chuckled out loud, "WHAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY, YOU MURDERER?!"

"Oh nothing, it's just... That's the nicest thing you've ever said about me. Are you worried about me, Kacchan?"

Bakugou took a step back. "No fucking way..." He whispered, "Y-YOU'RE NOT HIM! DEKU'S BEEN GONE FOR EIGHT MONTHS!"

"Has it really been that long? My, time flies when you're having fun. Isn't that right, Kacchan?" When the figure removed his hood, Bakugou's eyes widened with fear and shock. Deku laughed maniacally as his old friend stared in silence. He was left almost speechless until he blurted out his name.

"D-DEKU?!"
