D/C: I own nothing.

Izuku yells out for Stain to not kill his friend and the Pro Hero Native. Pleading with his friend to run before his life is taken away. It all feel to death ears and he couldn't help the tears run down his face. He mentally cursed out at the quirk that currently has him unable to move. As he was about to witness the Hero Killer kill his friend, a column of fire that was quickly followed by a column of ice followed after that prevented Stain from killing his supposed prey.

Stain jumped back to get away from the attack but the moment both feet landed on the ground and he froze, he could no longer move. He moved his eyes around wondering why this was happening to him. He saw his shadow extended out towards the entrance of the alleyway and… "Ah… A Nara… never thought I'd see one all the way out here…"

"Tsk…" Shikamaru tsk'ed, he stood at the end of the alleyway with Shoto, both dressed in their hero costumes. The Nara has his hair in tied up in a spiky ponytail, wearing a lose black tank top with a long sleeve mesh shirt underneath it, a pair of black cargo pants and calf high leather boots along with a matching utility belt that is hidden away underneath his tank top. Over the outfit, he has on what appeared to be a heavily worn out short sleeved deer skin coat that goes all the way down to his knees. The Nara has his hand in front of him making a seal that controls the way he uses his quirk. "Remember Shoto… defense."

"Defense… You need to specify your texts, Midoriya… we were almost late."

"Almost." Shikamaru agreed, putting more power into his shadows when he suddenly felt Stain attempting to break his hold on him.

"How… how did you guys get here?"

-.-

Earlier that day…

"You look like a cross of a goth hipster hobo." Shoto stated to Shikamaru once the latter walked out of the restroom after changing into his hero costume.

"Eh, who cares." Shikamaru shrugged, he and Shoto headed toward Endeavor's office to fully start their week-long internship. While the Nara took his time to put on his costume, Shoto and his bastard of a father conversed and once that was said and done, Shoto went out to look for him. It was time for their first task of their week long work place training.

When Shikamaru walked into the office, it was the first time he had seen the supposed hero in some time, but he knew the guy from anywhere. "My dad sends his regards."

With just that set of words, Endeavor tensed visibly so. It caused Shoto to shoot a look at Shikamaru, wondering… wondering how five words could do such a thing to the man that is his father. Oh, this is going to be entertaining.

Endeavor cleared his throat and told the teens that they were going to Hosu to possibly deal with the Hero Killer.

All good. Until Shikamaru realized that he overheard Tenya had taken his own workplace training in the same city… 'This is going to be a drag…'

-.-

"His dad is a glory hog."

-.-

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! FUCK! LET ME GO OR I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"

Ino ignored Katsuki's curses as she walked around the agency rearranging bouquets around the place. Her face pinched up, showing how stressed she is. She got a weird text for Izuku and wonders what is happening in Hosu. Even if she wants to and figure out what is happening, it would take a three-hour train ride to get there and even then, it'll probably be too late for anything. Plus, it helps that the text was sent out to the entire class. Hopefully someone is close enough to go figure out what is happening to the green haired teen.

"BITCH! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!"

"…Unless you want me to transfer my mind into you again… Shut up."

"Or what, bitch."

"I'll make you wear Jeanist clothing!"

"You don't have the balls to do that!"

"Watch me!"

-.-

Shikamaru grabbed hold of Native and attempted to run. The primary goal is to get the down Pro Hero out of there and to get help. That was easier said than done. Stain was making it impossible for him to escape through the chaos. With a grunt, Shikamaru raised a hand and commanded his hand ready to move his shadow. "I am going to give you guys an opening, do not waste it!"

"Got it!"

"Understood."

"Right!"

"Target…" Shikamaru moved his shadow repeated through the shadows around the alleyway, looking for an opening to capture Stain's shadow. The killer knew the game he was playing and attempted to distract him by throwing a knife towards his way. Native attempted to call out for him to move, but within a span of a second, Shikamaru captured Stain and made his shadow rise up to capture the knife just inches of killing the Pro Hero. "Acquired."

Izuku, Shoto, and Tenya did not waste that moment to quickly finish off Stain, knocking him out for the count. Shikamaru only released the villain once he made sure the guy was completely out cold and tied up. "…Wha-"

SLAM!

Shikamaru, Shoto, Tenya and Native watched with wide eyes as an old man propelled himself and slammed himself onto Izuku.

"Dammit kid! Told you to stay put!"

"I'm sorry!"

Seeing as the old man knows Izuku and vice-versa, Shikamaru helped Native regain his footing. The pro hero thanks him and the others for saving him, he then leaned down and whispered to Shikamaru as they watch Tenya apologize for putting Izuku and Shoto in danger. "They don't have licenses to go after villains and this won't look for you either."

"I know. Don't mention this to them yet." Shikamaru whispered back, he turned his head around when he heard people yelling out. It was the city's local heroes and some from Endeavor's agency. "Looks like the cavalry arrived."

Shikamaru as he normally does started to fade into the background. This wasn't his problem anymore, he kept his eyes on the sky and wondered about those weird looking creatures from earlier are all defeated. Probably so. He wasn't looking forward to dealing with the bastard telling him and Shoto off for running off, but hey, if a friend is in need, they got to do, what they got to do.

Endeavor and several others arrived, all of them taking in at the fact four heroes in training managed to take down Hero Killer just themselves, made them wonder how strong they are. Then they began to go over on how to turn in Stain without giving him a chance to escape.

A loud screeching sound disturbs the supposed peace, and the old man cried out for everyone to duck. Shikamaru looked up to see a winged creature fly down towards them, when he saw the creature targeted Izuku, and without hesitation, his feet moved on their own accord to get the teen out of the way before he got captured.

'What a drag…' Shikamaru last thought before he felt he was being dragged into the air by his coat. When he attempted to get the coat off himself, he suddenly felt an odd presence suddenly fall before him and the monster suddenly went stiff, falling back down to earth. Shikamaru braced himself as the hold on his coat loosened enough to escape and plummet back to earth. "Ow…"

Then… the feeling of absolute bloodlust clouded Shikamaru's senses, causing his mind to go blank…

To be continued…
