The Villains Hero

by makoto x chelia

Kenji Mikami, caught between two worlds. Villainy, and Heroism, born from a Villain Father, and a Hero Mother. Choosing to go down the path of a Hero, was hard when no one believed in him. However, that changed the day he met another boy who also was told he couldn't be a Hero, and their story begins now!

26. Remorseful siblings

Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

hellspam; Thanks very much! Yeah, she's quite a good teacher when it comes to social aspects of Hero's society, an area that Kenji lacks in right now. She certainly seemed to mention her huh~? That would be a funny moment huh~? She's certainly training her students quite well, huh~? Yup, we'll be getting into big Himiko moments quite soon. Yeah, Kenji and Stain are going to have quite the conversation. Something like that might happen in this chapter~ And yeah, he's going to arrive after Shoto does as we'll see why at the end of this chapter.

LoamyCoffee; Yup she surely does~

Ericisthebest; Yup, it's her! It was yeah, not everyone in the world is quite nasty to him, just some people~ Yeah, their conversation is going to be quite intense. And thanks very much!

Vizard Masky; Thanks very much! Yeah he surely is learning new things huh~? And yeah, he's helping her as she helps him so it's a good thing between the two of them. Yeah, it was a nice moment to show that not all people are going to jump to Kenji's evil when seeing him doing things. She was trying to help build confidence in that scene, in her own way, she didn't know it would turn quite like that though. They probably do, not everyone would change, case in point Momo's Mother. Yeah, this chapters gonna be intense, and the person...well, he'll reveal himself in the chapter~ He did call them, but a conversation takes little time so...it's going to be quite difficult getting to him in time.

MDNick; Thanks! Eh, I don't have one with him. I don't hate him, he has funny moments but some disturbing ones so I'm indifferent to Mineta. And thanks very much!

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks very much! Yeah, Mt Lady is soaking in all that time~ She is yeah, she's giving him good social lessons, something that would help him with the public. Maybe it will yeah~ They surely are, and indeed, all of them will be better off for this happening to them~ She did yeah, and indeed, Tokoyami and Irina are getting quite close to one another, so when they truly do make it official, it's going to be quite nice. He does yeah, we'll be learning more about that in the near future. He has yeah, Stain's gained an interest in Kenji due to what happened to him in the past, and deems Kenji worthy enough to continue his work since he's been through a lot. He is right in a way, and Kenji will speak about those arguments with him soon.

Ragna; Thanks for the votes! Indeed, it's going to help Momo prepare. Yeah, if Momo was a Villain, she'd be very tough to deal with considering that she could just make a nuke if she wanted. And yeah, she'd probably be able to make diamonds and gold once knowing about it.

Guest; It could be, there is a something between them that we'll discover more in the future~

KarmaChaos5; He surely is yeah, and yeah, Aizawa would be quite shocked if he found out about that. It is yeah, and we'll be delving more into that in the future. Yeah, Kenji and Stain are gonna have quite the conversation between them~ That would be a cool moment from Hikari. And yes, to you as well, Happy New Year!

Bobby Jenkins; Yeah, maybe, we'll have to wait and see about that~ I've never watched any of them honestly. Yeah, I suppose he could. Yeah, maybe~

Anime PJ; Thanks! That's Mt Lady for you~ But when the chips are down, she does come through~ And yeah, they seem to be able to help one another out~ It does yeah, he's quite a complex kind of guy, and as shown with her, he doesn't really wish harm to come to some normal people in the world. Hehe, we'll have to wait and see about that~ And thanks!

AlphaOmega; They surely are yeah, and growing closer to one another. They did yeah, true Hero work indeed~ Well, if he ever found it, it would be rather, fun huh~? Yup Stain's quite dangerous, and what happens, we'll have to wait and see~

Silver crow; Thanks! Yeah, Reaper's quite smart, and managed to tame it without a worry. Kenji's gonna be effected by it in certain ways. Hikari and Gran Torino have a rather interesting relationship, we'll see more of it in the future. It was quite the highlight huh~? It was quite fun, Hikari's quite a good teacher it seems~ Yeah, we'll be learning more of their connection rather soon~ Himiko's quite the odd girl~ Yeah, they were friends in the past~ He wasn't attempting to be scary, if he was, she'd probably would have been scared. Katsuki's having quite the rough time it seems. It was yeah, Kenji and Mt Lady seem to make quite a good team together. Hehe, Shinso's kinda blunt like that. It's gonna be quite interesting yeah~ He is yeah, he can stay like that because of who his Father is, and what he's experienced in his life.

Neonlight01; Yeah, it makes sense on Kenji's part to do something like that. He can yeah~ Yeah, they're gonna have quite a bit of fun~ Yeah, Hikari's quite a good teacher it seems~ He surely does yeah~ Stain's got his ideas for Kenji, they're going to be rather, interesting to say the least~ Reaper will be angry about it.

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!

Remorseful siblings

Coming face to face with him…

With Stain.

His presence was terrifying alone, but for Kenji, he had experienced feelings like this before, so he wasn't afraid.

Honestly, he was curious as to why he was there.

Kenji wasn't a Hero.

He was considered a Villain by the populace.

But, this Hero Killer was there…

Was he going to kill Kenji?

But...he didn't feel fear.

Kenji wasn't necessarily afraid, he was more curious than fearful right now.

When he went to move, Stain flashed towards him at incredible speeds. He barely could react, and he felt Stain's hand on Kenji's arm. But still, no fear was shown.

"Don't worry Kenji-kun, I'm not going to hurt you."

Kenji didn't like how he knew his name. Though it was obvious as to why due to most people knew his name.

"...You know my name? Why do you speak so casually towards me?"

Kenji demanded, but Stain withdrew a blade. The blade twirled around while Kenji looked towards it. He half expected Stain to slash his throat, or stab his body with the knife.

But, surprisingly, he handed it towards him.

"Feel this knife, and tell me what you think."

Kenji didn't get it, but rather than test his patience, while thinking of ways to get out of there, he decided to do just that.

He felt the knife through his fingers, while Stain gave an eerie smile towards him.

"What answer would satisfy you?"

Kenji demanded from the man that was before him.

"Very good question. The answer you give honestly is what I want. So boy, answer the question."

Kenji glanced at the knife once more, before his eyes went towards Stain.

"...The truth is, I feel uncomfortable holding a weapon designed to kill others."

At his honestly, Stain let out a small chuckle.

"Yes, I'd expect an answer like that. That's why you're my chosen Kenji-kun. I want you to follow me."

Kenji wasn't quite sure what Stain was talking about right now.

"...Follow you? To do what exactly?"

"Kill the unworthy of course." At the answer, Kenji wasn't sure if he was happy with it. "You and I can see the darkness of this world. You understand it like me. True Hero's are hard to come by nowadays. They're out for themselves. They don't sacrifice themselves for the sake of others...but, you are different. You do that, while understanding my ideology."

"I'd never understand that!"

Kenji snapped, but Stain grabbed his body, forcing it against a wall, and got too close. Kenji could feel his breath on his face, it felt sickening. But he didn't show any fear. Even with Stain so close, he didn't display fear.

"No fear. Not even a whiff of it. Why is that? People fear me...why don't you?"

Kenji not fearing him, definitely was something that Stain appreciated very much.

"I've stared death down before, you can't intimidate me. You can't use your scare tactics on me. If you came for a fight, then I'll gladly give you one. Otherwise, get out of my sight right now."

"Haha, quite a brave boy indeed. You are quite like your Father." Kenji's face fell into a scowl at that comment. "Sorry, a harsh topic it seems. But your Father, I admire him."

"Because he's also scum?"

"Because he understands this world needs to change as well." Stain clarified. "The Hero's of this world...they let your sister die." Kenji felt his anger rising, his fists tightened. "They let Villain's into your home, and killed your sister. And almost killed you, and your brother. What kind of Hero's would do that?"

"They weren't Hero's for doing that. You're right about them being terrible people. But not all Hero's are like that!"

Kenji argued, but Stain chuckled as a response.

"If that's how you feel, but I know the truth. You and I are very much alike, can't you see that?"

"I'm nothing like you! I don't go around and murder innocent people!"

BANG!

"They're not innocent!" Kenji winced at the tone he used, seeing the fist through the wall right by his head that Stain had done. "Those Hero's are out for themselves, they can't be justice. What's true justice in this world? All Might, that's who. He is a self sacrificing person, and the others have to be judged for what they do."

"And you have that right to judge them?" Kenji spat back in disgust, pushing forward without a care. "Who gave you that right to judge anyone anyway? You murder people. Your ideals aren't right, if you kill people to make your point come across. You need to take a good look at yourself before passing judgement on others. You don't like the Hero's society, right? It isn't perfect, people can see that! But what you do is wrong! Your brand of 'justice' makes you worse than some Villain's. You're nothing but a Villain. You put a friend of mines brother in the hospital, and he might never walk again. What was it that made him unjust exactly? What was it that he did wrong exactly? He was a good person, and you attacked him for no reason! You are just taking out people who you believe is a bad person, yet you have no basis for that other than what little you've seen. You are a terrible person and I'd rather die than ever follow you, you piece of scum."

Stain's eyes narrowed upon Kenji.

He wasn't backing down.

He was showing his strengths.

Actually, this just proved to Stain even more about what he thought was true.

So, rather than be mad, he began laughing.

"Hahaha, you almost had me there. I was tempted to slay you. But, I understand, you're challenging me like a good apprentice would. I like that about you Kenji-kun. I am very pleased with you."

"I'll never be your apprentice! I told you, I am not like you!"

"Then look me in the eye, and tell me that you don't agree with me that Hero's nowadays are selfish and only in it for money, or to make their lives easier."

Kenji...couldn't do that.

He couldn't do what Stain had asked.

Because, on some level, he knew that he was right.

However, he also knew a truth that Stain bypassed.

"...I can't." Stain's smirk grew, but Kenji remained strong. "But, that's not all Hero's. You don't know why they need the money. People need to live, they need money to survive. Yes, I agree that there can be selfish Hero's out there that are greedy, and do it just for fame, and not to better the lives of others. But they don't deserve to die for what they have been doing! It doesn't make sense to me! Death can't be the answer! They need to be Hero's sure, but they don't need to die! Death is the end, you can't help someone grow if they die! Don't you see that!?"

Stain actually was surprised by an answer like that.

He didn't think that Kenji would say something like that.

But he was impressed as well, and he couldn't hide his happiness.

"Maybe you're right in a way. But, you have to understand my thoughts about this. Because, I want you Kenji-kun. I want you to become my successor, and help me in taking down these petty Hero's. You and I have been bred from a similar cloth. You and I can understand one another, more than anyone else. Can't you see that?"

"…I can understand your thoughts on Hero's being selfish. But you have to understand their reasons. Maybe they need money to help others, to help their poor families who can't afford even a piece of bread. People have reasons for what they do. You have to determine if they are good or bad reasons. But no matter what it is, they don't deserve to die for what they've done if it is wrong. Death is never the answer to anyone's life."

"What if someone was targeting someone you love? If you had no other choice, death would be the answer, right? You would kill them, right?"

Kenji ground his teeth together.

"...No, I'd never killed anyone. Even if they were hurting my family, I'd stop them anyway that I could, but I'd never kill anyone. I know what it is like to have someone die before you, it is the worst feeling in the world. Evil exists, I know that it does, but they need to be put away. Death is too easy of a solution for their lives, they have to live with the guilt of what they've done to someone else."

Stain smirked, believing that he found an opening.

"That's where you and I differ it seems, though deep down, I believe you'd do it if you had no other choice. It can be an answer. You have Death within you, your Quirk is Half Death, and Half Life. You realize this darkened world, I'll show you a better life than this. Being confined by society, it isn't the way at all. The world betrayed you, a child, who hadn't done anything wrong. Those so called Hero's you're speaking about, all of them turned their back on you, and even now, they hate you for existing. Tell me that they are Hero's for bullying a child, tell me they're Hero's for attacking you. I researched you and your life, I've seen the people that hate you, those Hero's who are meant to be justice and selfless, found it amusing to allow a child to be attacked, and stand there, doing nothing, seeing an innocent child being assaulted for having a Quirk that he couldn't control, for years. That's disgusting, don't you think?"

Kenji's heart felt affected by those words.

Stain wasn't wrong.

He didn't want to admit it...but he wasn't.

"...I know that, of course I know that...people see me as something terrible...it's true that people did that in the past to me...but I couldn't hurt them...if I did, then I'd be no better than them..."

"That's why, I know you're the perfect person to be by my side. You have the perfect motivation to pass judgement on these people. To me, you're the perfect candidate who I want with me as I judge these people. So, join me Kenji-kun, and together, we'll punish all of the evil Hero's in this world, and make a change to this world, together."

As he said that, Kenji hated what he was saying...

But it made sense.

Stain used his words, to jab at some truths about Kenji's life.

But Kenji wouldn't do what Stain did...but, he could understand the Hero Killer a little more now.

As he thought about it, the door opened, to Kenji's relief/worry for who was going to come through.

"Kenji-kun, it's time to go to..." Mt Lady saw Stain forcing Kenji against the wall, and became immediately enraged. "Get away from him!"

"Get lost, we're speaking here."

Stain casually launched his knife right for Mt Lady's forehead. She was too slow to react, so Kenji stuck out his hand and sent off a strong wave of Death. The Death washed over the knife, and it began eroding out of existence.

But he saw that before he could finish it off, it would hurt Mt Lady.

Kenji put more effort into it, and while his hand began to feel the effects of it, he managed to kill off the knife before it could hit Mt Lady, and then slammed his knee into Stain's stomach, causing him to be pushed back, Kenji jumping upwards, and spun, delivering a devastating kick to his face, pushing him backwards across the room.

Though Stain shrugged off the attack as if it was a flea hitting him.

At the same time, Mt Lady rushed to Kenji, and hugged him tightly.

"Did he hurt you?! Are you okay!?"

The concern in her voice was touching, but Kenji didn't have time to be touched right now.

"I'm alright, don't worry about me Mt Lady-san. We've got to deal with him there."

His hand went forward towards Stain who twirled a knife. Mt Lady stood protectively in front of Kenji.

"You will not touch this boy."

"Sorry, but I don't care about you. Either get out of the way, or I'll cut right through you. You also are someone I deem unworthy."

He said with a menacingly creepy voice.

Mt Lady didn't flinch.

"Then try it, and I'll beat you down. I wont allow this boy to be harmed."

"Then so be it!"

Fast…

He was so fast.

But Kenji wasn't having any of it so he flung his hand outwards, and his Life Quirk activated, allowing chains of Life to erupt from him, and head for Stain. However, Stain sliced through them as easy as butter, though Kenji used that moment to cross the distance with small wings at his feet, and his hand coated with Death energy.

His fist pulled backwards, and went to hit Stain, but Stain dodged the punch and got behind Kenji.

The young boy turned around, only for Stain to have his hand right near Kenji's body.

"You're coming with me!"

Just as he was going to reach him, Kenji's foot was blown upwards, and kicked Stain right in his face, pushing him back ever so slightly but it gave Kenji all the time he needed, and he used his Death to blast Stain right in the chest, forcing his body against the wall, surprising Mt Lady who watched in awe, as Kenji got into a defensive position, seeing minor injuries on Stain's body, noting his incredible durability since he put some good effort into that attack.

"Society is flawed Stain, I agree with you there, it can be unfair to those who aren't seen as normal. Myself, my friend Shinso-san, we've been told we'd be great Villains because our Quirks aren't seen as 'good', some people are born without Quirks and they're seen as useless to a society that is filled with as most would call it, superpowers. Peoples dreams are crushed because they're unlucky to be born without a Quirk, and even if you have a Quirk, it can be seen as evil, or it can be a Quirk that messes with your head. Things do need to change, I agree, but this isn't the answer."

Stain listened to what Kenji had said, and actually gained a smile.

He was rather happy.

"You are quite intelligent, I'm certain I've picked the right person now. I used to be like that, I thought I could change the world with words, and trying to help, but you'll come to see in time that it doesn't work Kenji-kun. You and I understand the darkness of this world, and we are the ones who can change it. You said that I couldn't judge it, but I believe you and I can together. We both have suffered immensely through this society, this society turned its back on you and said you'd never be a Hero. Yet you continue to try and change society, that's what I truly like about you, your drive, your passion for change. You'll see in the future that your methods wont work, and mine do. I don't want needless bloodshed Kenji-kun, I want the people who abuse the rights of being a Hero to be punished for their deeds, and when you come to that realization as well, I will gladly accept you."

Kenji's body shook with his words.

Stain however looked towards Mt Lady who flinched, and pulled out his knife.

Kenji got beside her, and stood defensively of her, while Mt Lady narrowed her eyes.

"It's nice to defend her, but she's just as guilty!"

He rushed towards them both, and when they went to react, from the window, a large black python seemingly made from miasma came through the window, and showed its fangs, snapping towards Stain who was forced to jump away, avoiding the python's attack.

Stain's eyes narrowed at the python.

"I remember this. So that boy back at the USJ truly was his son..."

"USJ..."

Kenji muttered as the python charged for his body once more. Stain reacted with his sword, and went to slice it, but the python span around, avoiding the blade, and caught Stain within his tail, slamming him down onto the ground, the floor almost broke with the impact of the creatures tail on Stain's body, just showing how strong that was.

"W-What Quirk is that?"

Mt Lady wondered, while Kenji knew very well.

It has become very powerful since he had seen it.

But this was no mistaken it now.

From the small creatures, to a large creature like this. It could only be…

"Living Death."

Kenji's voice echoed outwards, as a young handsome man appeared at the window. With thick black hair save for a few strands of white at his fringe, flat like Kenji's own black hair that came down to his neck, and his white eyes. Being a good build for a young man his age, he looked to be quite flattering to the eyes.

"You remembered the name of my Quirk, Kenji."

Kenji's eyes scanned the young man.

His voice had grown deeper.

But the fact that he had midnight black hair with white in it, and those white eyes that even Kenji was stunned by, he knew exactly who this person was.

"...Daisuke."

Kenji's word felt sharp and to the point.

Stain chuckled, standing up from the swipe with only minor injuries on his body.

"Well, the prodigal son has returned."

Daisuke's eyes forced themselves onto Stain's body.

"Stain, trying to take Kenji away like this. For shame. You should have known that if I hadn't come, someone else would have come to stop you. In fact, it seems that Pro's are coming right here, right now for you. Even you can't take them all on yourself."

"Well, maybe you have a point." Stain jumped to the window, while Daisuke put his hand outwards, and a black eagle shot outwards. Stain however cut through the eagle, but noticed that his sword had been eroded ever so slightly, Daisuke twitching his eyebrow as the beast was slain. "But, I have to go now. Don't worry though Kenji-kun, I shall be back for you soon."

Kenji winced as he jumped out of the window.

Daisuke clicked his tongue, and made a bird under his feet, and took off.

"Wait!"

Kenji cried out, and shot from the place he stood, and out of the window, following after his brother. Even as Mt Lady cried for him to stop, he couldn't lose this chance, and followed his brother as he flew after Stain.

---

He went through the city.

He went fast through the city.

He didn't even realize where he was going, he just followed the sight of the speeding Daisuke.

It was tiring that he had to follow him, but he wasn't going to give up now, there was no way that he was going to do that.

But by the time that Kenji caught up, it looked as if Stain had gotten away. Daisuke folded his arms, and clicked his tongue.

"Damn Stain. Elusive bastard."

He murmured, as Kenji landed on the ground near him, panting.

Daisuke's eyes cracked back to see Kenji looking towards him with hope in his eyes, even a few tears as well.

"D-Daisuke...t-that's you! You're really..."

Daisuke couldn't face him.

He felt intense emotions running through him, and had to stop looking at him.

"I'm sorry Kenji, I've got to go."

Daisuke made a lion of Death, and got on its back. He went to leave, but Kenji began to cry.

"P-Please don't go! N-Not again! Please! Don't go again! A-Alright!? Just stay with me!"

Daisuke paused, and looked behind him once more.

He saw the eyes of his younger brother, and how the tears came down like raindrops.

They flowed heavily, and didn't stop shedding either.

Kenji cried hard for Daisuke, clutching his hands together.

"Please don't go...please, not again Daisuke. C-Come back home...Mom's worried about you...it's been so many years...you've changed. You're so tall now...though you were always taller than I am...and...y-you don't have to go...y-you can stay with us...with me...I need you big bro...please stay..."

Daisuke inhaled slowly, and got off his lion.

He walked towards the sobbing Kenji, and it felt like his heart was shattering.

To see his younger brother like that, it was heart breaking, and knowing that he was some of the reason, it was hard for him to accept.

He made it towards Kenji, placing a hand on top of his head, and rubbed it gently.

"Come on now, you're going to make me cry too."

Kenji couldn't take it, and collapsed into his elder brother's chest.

He sobbed his heart out into Daisuke's chest, he couldn't stop the tears from flowing down his face.

Daisuke was stunned.

But, he soon accepted it, and hugged his younger brother tightly. His fingers caressed the back of Kenji's head, as he slowly stroked him, calming the boy. Though Kenji cried into Daisuke's chest, Daisuke was alright with that, and just allowed him to do such things.

"Shhh now, I'm here Kenji, I'm here."

"I-I missed y-you s-so much D-Daisuke..."

"I missed you too. More than you ever could realize. Now come on little bro, don't cry now, I'm here."

With that, Kenji melted, and just clung tightly to his elder brother. He wouldn't let go. This was a dream. If it was, he didn't want to wake up, because he finally reunited with his brother. Besides his Mother, the only other immediate family he cared for.

"W-Why did you go…? I've wanted to ask you for so long...w-was it because I couldn't protect Irina…?"

"There's reasons why I had to go, and no, there's nothing for you to worry about, it wasn't to do with you. Things I'm not ready to talk about. I couldn't stay after what happened, it was so hard. I know that's not an excuse, you and Mom suffered as well. But don't worry about me, I'm alright. I have a decent life for myself now. You Kenji, you've suffered so much, so many times I wanted to come back and keep you and Mom safe...but, I know what I have to do. I'll protect you both in my own ways."

"..."

Kenji didn't know what to say.

But Daisuke's fingers continued rubbing Kenji's head gently.

"Mom needs you, you've kept Mom safe, and allowed her to continue smiling. Never forget that. I have to go now Kenji. I'm sorry."

"But...you don't have to go now...you can stay with us...with me."

Daisuke inhales slowly, and tilts Kenji's head back so their eyes met one another's.

"You know, I wish I could sometimes. But, I still have things I need to do, before I can stop."

"...Daisuke..."

"But don't worry, big brothers watching you. I've got my eyes on you, I'll keep you safe as much as I can. But, if you want to keep your friend safe, being in Hosu might be the way to go. Stain isn't going to stop his ways."

"Hosu...going to Hosu...to protect my friends..."

Daisuke gently stroked the back of Kenji's head, who refused to let go. He wouldn't let his brother go again, he couldn't.

"That's right Kenji, do that and you'll be able to protect your friends. I don't know when he's going to attack, but I do know that he is going to attack. Be safe Kenji, don't die because I couldn't take it. Though I know you'll try and save your friends...you're weird like that, just like Mom. I never got it...but, I get protecting my family."

"Daisuke..."

Daisuke looked around, and knew something was going to happen, so he pulled away from Kenji.

"I'm sorry Kenji, I have to go."

"W-Wait, no! Y-You can't! Please, I need to talk to you more! Please, just stay with me! Please...please stay Daisuke."

Daisuke lowered his brows, and then walked back to Kenji. His hand placed on top of Kenji's head, and then he ran his hand down the back of Kenji's head. Getting to his neck, he patted it slowly, and chuckled.

"You have grown up to be rather handsome. You used to be a snot nosed brat. But look at you now. I saw you win the Sports Festival. Heh, as expected of my brother. He doesn't go down so easily. Despite how the world views you. I know how hard you've had it, and I'm sorry that something like that happened to you. But you're stronger than you know. Sorry Kenji, but I'll come back and see you again."

Daisuke formed a bird under his feet, and took off into the air.

"Daisuke wait!"

Kenji went to follow, but his feet were bound.

He looked down to see a snake of death binding his legs.

"Damn it!"

Kenji unleashed a wave of death, destroying the snakes, and turned to the sky, and saw that he was long gone.

There was no way that he would be able to follow him now, he couldn't fly like that, Daisuke had gone.

"DAISUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Letting out his anguish, and sadness, it was one last attempt to stop him from going.

But, it didn't work, and he didn't come back.

Daisuke however heard the cry and turned briefly, a face of regret coming over him. But, he was going to have to do his best from the shadows to make sure that Kenji would be safe. That's all he could for the moment, and continued to fly out of there.

Kenji was left devastated, and just watched the place where his brother had gone, collapsing to his knees, unable to speak, unable to move.

---

He didn't realize how long he had been standing there, until Izuku finally showed up. Kenji didn't know how he found him, but Izuku rushed over while crying happily, and hugged him tightly, snapping Kenji out of his thoughts.

"Deku-kun, what are you doing here…?"

"Mt Lady-san said that you had gone, and we've been looking all over! We've been looking for over an hour!"

Kenji didn't even realize that it had been an hour that he was stood there. It felt like seconds. He wanted it to be seconds. He wished he could reverse time, so he could have his brother back in his arms...he desperately wished he could have been with his brother.

"An hour...I've been here over an hour huh..."

"You came across the Hero Killer Ken-kun! A-Are you alright!? Did he hurt you!?"

Kenji waved off Izuku's concerns.

"No, I'm alright...Daisuke chased him off."

Izuku was confused at first. But then it became clear when remembering that name.

"Daisuke...y-your brother?! H-He was here?!"

Kenji still couldn't believe it. But it was true, that Daisuke was even there.

"Y-Yeah, he was...he's gone now. He said...he was speaking weirdly, but he was my brother. Damn it, I lost him again...but, he's alive...maybe that's enough for me now...he was still my brother. Still that ass who would be aloof...but, so comforting at the same time...and you came here for me as well?"

"Yes...I was very worried about you Ken-kun. I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Yeah, I'm alright. Sorry for dragging you away from your training."

"No, no. Don't worry. I'd come here for my best friend after all! I'm just glad you're okay!"

Izuku comically burst into tears, Kenji chuckled, patting his head while saying "There there." but Izuku then remembered something.

So he asked directly.

"What did the Hero Killer want with you Ken-kun?"

"That's a good question. Even I don't fully know. I don't know if I can take his words to be truthful. But, he said...he wants me to be his partner...he said that we understood one another...that I was just like him..."

Izuku couldn't believe it.

Kenji didn't hide it.

He didn't want to hide it.

As it was confusing in of itself.

He didn't even want to think about it.

But, if that's what the Hero Killer wanted...then he was going to be worried for his future.

Though what Daisuke said, about Hosu…

He had to make sure that his friend was safe. Definitely he would do that.

---

"What did you say?"

Reaper asked, as Himiko giggled awkwardly.

"Yeah, seems like Stain-chan went to go and see him~"

Reaper looked annoyed as he flexed his fingers around. Due to the fact that Stain actually approached Kenji like that, left a bad taste in his mouth. Though he still wanted Stain in his group, he knew he would have to talk to the man himself.

"I see...damn Stain, he can't keep himself restrained."

"And, it seems that a boy with black creatures made from miasma showed up~ I heard Kenji-kun call it Living Death."

"Living Death...then it was Daisuke who had come to protect Kenji it seems."

"Living Death? So, he makes creatures out of Death energy?"

"Yeah, that's the gist of it. Though if the creature is slain, then some damage is transferred to him, so he can't spam them indefinitely. However, he can make them disappear if he so wishes, and has free control over them, you could call him a genius in the area of fighting, and he's very powerful. He could potentially kill me if he was so inclined."

Himiko was impressed, and she couldn't help but smile wickedly.

"So, he's quite strong then~? And then there's my Kenji-kun, I wonder what's gonna happen with him now? Stain was being all weird, and trying to take him as his apprentice. Makes me shiver, that was awkward~ I almost jumped in and slashed his throat~"

"With Stain continuing, and I've had a report that he's been with Tomura, and with that brat being like he is...Stain likes Hosu, and Tomura hates not being the talk of the town, so he'll probably be unleashing Nomu's soon, Stain's meeting the League tomorrow from what he's said, and Tomura is probably going to try and one up Stain so he'll be releasing Nomu's most likely if I know him which I unfortunately do. Maybe this is our chance to collect some more."

"Ooh my! We're Nomu collecting!?"

Himiko cheered out happily, waving her knife around happily.

"Yeah, seems so. If Tomura is just going to lay them out for us, I might as well collect them."

"Hehehe, you're right Dad~ This is gonna be amazing~"

"Yes, amazing indeed."

"Too bad Kenji-kun isn't in Hosu, then we could have our first date there."

"Yeah if only." Reaper snickered out, Himiko tilting her head. "Either way, seems like I should be making my way over to Hosu with the cleaning up squad of mine to collect me those Nomu's if it goes down like how I believe it is going to be. I'll go tomorrow since Stain said he'll be telling Tomura in person what his thoughts are on his offer, also there's something I want to do before going tomorrow. Closer and closer, I'm going to that realization about what makes it work, and then I'll be able to stop it all by myself. Heh, that bastard will surely be surprised when I manage to take him down. And then we'll begin our new world order."

Reaper grinned happily, while Himiko clapped her hands together again and again, she seemed to be highly excited.

---

After the night he had, Kenji was just glad to be in bed the next morning. Izuku had gone back to his training, Kenji spoke with the police about what happened, along with some Hero's, and talked about Hosu, though they had already had people placed there so he knew that it would make sense.

He didn't really mention his brother. He believed in his brother, and he wanted to make sure that he was safe. Mt Lady also respected that as she believed Kenji knew what to do about his brother.

As he laid in bed, thinking about what had happened during the previous night, he kept thinking about why Stain had come to him, and wanted him. Was he really someone that was like Stain?

It made him wonder about Stain, and what his past was like for him to turn out to be like that.

He sighed, and tossed in his bed, looking out of the window, and saw some Pro Hero's guarding him. Since he had been targeted by the Hero Killer, Hikari had been informed, and had said that she wanted people making sure that he was alright.

Though Kenji wasn't sure if he wanted it, the last time Pro's watched over him, it didn't turn out well for them.

Beside Kenji, Mt Lady slept peacefully.

Somehow, she had managed to get into his bed, and he was alright with that.

Mt Lady groaned, as her eyes cracked open.

Her eyes met Kenji's own who stared at the roof. She raised her body, and clung to his form tightly.

"Kenji-kun, what are you thinking about?"

"...I want to go to Hosu."

Kenji explained to the horror of Mt Lady.

"You can't do that! That Hero Killer is there!"

"He was also here as well. Clearly, it doesn't matter where I am, he's going to come for me. At least in Hosu, maybe I could think of a way to trap him, and stop him from killing anymore Hero's, I need to do something."

Mt Lady took Kenji's face, and stared into his eyes.

"You barely made it out alive last night. If your brother didn't come, then maybe we could be dead right now. Or, you could be in that man's clutches, and you're saying you want to go to somewhere where the Hero Killer has been spotted before? Why do you want to do that? What possessed you to do something like that exactly?"

"Because, a friend of mine is in Hosu, and if I could help him out then...he's going to a darkened path Mt Lady-san. I know what that's like. I have thought about it before, the darkness of this society, and I can't allow a friend to go down that path. His brother was hurt...I can relate. My sister was taken from me, his brother almost was. I don't want Iida-san to go down a dark path."

Mt Lady could see that it was a struggle within his eyes.

But she didn't want to place Kenji in danger.

She also didn't want to piss off Hikari, knowing that if she did, then Hikari wouldn't be pleased.

"But still, the Hero Killer came for you Kenji-kun, you don't want to go and face that monster again."

"If I keep running from my problems, then nothing is ever going to be solved Mt Lady-san. I didn't want to touch my problems for a long time, and I was forced to confront them by my friend Deku-kun, and I'm glad he did. Because, I was stuck in a rut, and I didn't want to move forward. However, now that I can go forward, I finally can see what's going on. And I want to protect my friends. I don't want to confront the Hero Killer, I just want to make sure that my friends are okay."

Mt Lady furrowed her eyebrows.

She knew what he was talking about, and what it must be like. Being targeted by someone like that, and worrying for his friend, that he could sympathize with Iida when it came to sibling love, and how it feels to lose such a thing.

But she didn't want him to be hurt.

She didn't want him to be brought into something dangerous.

"Mt Lady-san, if this was someone you cared for...would you really sit back and wait for something terrible to happen to your friend?"

Mt Lady truly was sure Kenji knew when to hit it right with his words, and how he could sway people. But still she remained strong and sturdy.

"...No, I probably wouldn't. But Kenji-kun, this situation is scary, that Hero Killer, I wouldn't be able to take him down. And I don't think you would be able to do it either. I just want to make sure that you're safe and sound, alright? Trust me, I do understand your thoughts and feelings Kenji-kun, I really do..."

"I just want to help my friend Mt Lady-san. I know it sounds like I'm crazy, but I genuinely think that I could come up with a plan to stop Stain. Yes, he's faster than I am, and his Quirk, from what reports have said, has something to do with paralyzing them, and maybe to do with either their blood, or some other substance. He needs those blades to do it, my power can erode his weapons. I can fight him Mt Lady-san..."

"I know that you can...but, I don't want you to die. Last night was scary...I saw him with his knife towards you, I don't want you to die."

Mt Lady's eyes turned moist, so his fingers brushed her skin, making her blush lightly.

"I don't want to die, and I don't want my friends to suffer either."

For that instant, when he said that, Kenji looked truly manly. She could see his qualities as a Hero, his inner strength, and his determination, and she had to confess that she was turned on.

"I know Kenji-kun, sometimes you have to leave it to the others. Now, I'm going to go and get dressed, wanna watch me~?"

Kenji blushed lightly, and shook his head with a shy face.

"N-No, I couldn't do something like that..."

Mt Lady could see that he was still thinking about it, so she leaned closer, and gently kissed his cheek. His cheeks went through a few shades of red, and his upper body twitched around.

"Don't worry about it Kenji-kun, just don't allow those negative thoughts to overtake you."

Kenji nodded without a word, Mt Lady stood up, and then walked away from the area.

Kenji laid back down on the bed.

He knew Mt Lady meant well, and wanted to protect him.

But he didn't want to be left out, so he could help his friend. And he was sure that Stain would come for him again, no matter what else would happen.

"That bad girl power I got~ I'll abuse it tonight~ Because tonight~ Got poison on my mind~ I got that poison on my mind~"

Himiko skipped along the road happily having just picked up some rare looking fish from a fishermen that Reaper had known, earphones plugging her ears, and was listening, along with singing, to some music.

What she didn't know was that coming the other way, was Tsuyu Asui, who was currently taking a small break from her internship.

As Himiko skipped closer, Tsuyu watched her curiously, she didn't know her, but she felt...she didn't know what it was, but it was as if she had either seen her before, or had met her, or something...

That's when Himiko paused, and looked towards Tsuyu, having felt eyes on her.

Himiko tilted her head, and grinned, taking out her earphones.

"Asui-chan."

"H-How do you know my name ribbit?"

Tsuyu was caught by surprise, so Himiko giggled.

"I saw you at the Sports Festival, you did quite well, didn't you?"

Tsuyu heard the tone she used, it was creepy, but not scary creepy, she couldn't work out what it was like.

Himiko then leaned closer.

"My you're super cute." Tsuyu looked surprised as Himiko came closer. She came so close that they were face to face. While blushing, Himiko said something surprising. "You're in love, aren't you?"

Tsuyu's face dropped, and pinkness came to her cheeks.

"W-What...t-that's..."

Himiko's finger petted Tsuyu's face, as she backed away, but Himiko followed after her.

"It's okay, I'm in love too." Tsuyu's face drops, then Himiko grins wickedly. "I think I know who you're in love with. Could it be Kenji-kun?" Tsuyu gasped, her bottom lip trembled. "Eeeep! It must be! I heard you were called 'Tsu-chan' by Kenji-kun during the Sports Festival! Can I call you Tsu-chan too?! We'd be super best friends!"

"S-Super best f-friends...y-you know Kenji-chan?"

Tsuyu posed the question, trying to move out of the way, but Himiko wouldn't allow her to escape.

"No, but I want too~" She lied and then stroked Tsuyu's face, making her cringe. "Don't worry Tsu-chan, we'll be girls in love together~ Two love sick girls~ We'll get along super fast~ Don't worry, I could tell watching the Sports Festival, I saw the eyes you gave the most hated boy in the world, but to me, he is a Prince that's going to take me in his arms, and we'll fall in love! Eep, we'll be besties and lovers with Kenji-kun all in one!" Tsuyu looked baffled, as Himiko's phone rang. She answered it. "Aww, you're worried about me~? I'm coming now Dad, sorry for taking so long, long wait for the fish, and I just found a new best friend~ I know, she's super cute and we both love the same boy! I'm so happy~! Awww thank you~ Yes, Tsu-chan and I will be best friends forever!"

Tsuyu looked even more baffled, while Himiko pulled away.

She then gave Tsuyu a wink which made Tsuyu flinch by how creepy yet cute she was being.

"Goodbye Tsu-chan, I hope we can continue being besties~"

Tsuyu didn't know what to say, as Himiko left.

She didn't know it yet, but she had met a rival in not only fighting, but in love as well.

---

Irina was looking upon a curious sight.

She saw that Stain had, pinned down both Tomura, and Kurogiri. The latter had finally tracked down Stain, and brought him to join the League of Villain's. But, Stain didn't want to get involved with the League, he didn't believe it to be something that would help him achieve his goal.

Irina was the only one who hadn't been taken down by Stain, she managed to avoid his sword, and Quirk while the others hadn't. She looked down at the stabbed in the shoulder Tomura, and then towards Stain.

"Crazy girl, once more I see you. So, you're with the League of Villain's then. I'm slightly depressed, I really did like you."

Irina raised her head, and then giggled very creepily, which even sent chills down Stain's spine.

"My association is because of my Master, nothing more, Stain-san. My Master ordered me to stay with Tomura-san there while he continues achieving his goals. However, I am not permitted to fight unless ordered to do so. So, do not fear about me fighting against you. I shall do nothing until I'm told otherwise. Consider me an observer of this meeting, nothing more."

Stain stroked his chin.

"I see, I see. So that's how it is. Hearing from this brat, and now seeing that mist man as well, I would rather serve under Reaper, than serve under this League."

Tomura's eyes narrowed angrily.

"That damn Reaper has even got his claws into you!? Heh, that makes sense! Damn fool, you'll see that his group will be obliterated! And I shall be the one who reigns over this world once we kill All Might! And if you don't want anything to do with that, Irina get rid of this trash."

Irina didn't move for a few moments, she just looked at Stain.

Tomura was getting impatient.

"Girl! You will do as I say!"

"You are not my Master, don't mistake that Tomura Shigaraki-san."

"You will do as I say, or you know what will happen to Kenji Mikami-kun!"

Stain's eyes changed at the name, and kicked Tomura in the ribs, making him spit out blood from the impact.

"That boy, is of no consequences of you. I shall be taking that boy for myself."

"No you will not! He's mine!"

"He's too good for you!"

"Yeah right! I've had my eyes on that boy for years, I wont allow you to take him away from me!"

Tomura spat out, Stain looking on with annoyed eyes, while Irina thought "Great, two nut cases are fighting for my brother to join them..." which was ironic considering who these people were.

"He's better than this League, the potential that boy has. He's going to be mine, and I wont allow you to have him. Try and go for him, and I'll kill you myself. He shall be my apprentice. He has the ideal personality for someone like me to take under my wing. Smart, law abiding, inquisitive, and has a good sense of morals. For him to come to my side, is going to be a great joy. Together, we shall punish this world, and take down the Hero's who aren't worthy."

As Stain said that, Tomura placed his hand on the knife in his arm. His full five fingers wrapped around the blade, and Stain was slightly surprised to see that it was beginning to disintegrate, like how Kenji's power did to his knife the previous night.

Tomura then stood up, and glared at Stain.

"Kurogiri, take this trash out of here already."

He demanded, but Kurogiri couldn't move due to what happened with Stain. He used his Quirk on Kurogiri, so he couldn't do anything.

Tomura's eyes narrowed even more, so he turned to Irina.

"You, take Stain out of here."

"I told you, my Master told me to stand here, and observe, he didn't tell me to become involved. Until he does, you can't have me do anything for you, understand that?"

Tomura growled, and quickly took out his phone. He rang his benefactor, and threw the phone at Irina who caught it.

She listened to what he said, and then bowed her head.

"Yes Master, I understand."

Irina walked forward, and allowed her wires to drop down from her fingertips.

Stain looked on curiously, withdrawing a blade.

"Are we fighting crazy girl?"

Stain asked with his deranged smile being brought on.

"It seems to be the case. Though I would prefer not to, I have to make sure that Tomura-san here is safe from you. So, if you try and hurt him, then I will have no choice but to step in and defend him from you. May I be your opponent?"

Stain waved his knife around, and then smirked.

"If you can catch this, then maybe!"

Stain threw the knife forward at blinding speeds. Tomura's eyes widened as he couldn't see it. But Irina did, and using her Quirk, she wrapped wires around Tomura's arm, and brought it to the knife, catching it midair, who used his Quirk to disintegrate it easily.

Stain chuckled with surprise.

"Well, you are better than the average person. Not bad, fast, very fast. I am most impressed with your speeds."

"Thank you, now you may leave before I become serious."

"I'd like to see you become serious!"

Stain shot forward, and appeared before Irina.

"Okay then."

Irina pulled backwards, but Stain slashed at her, so she used her wires to wrap around his arm, pulling it to the side, and then embedded her foot into his torso, Stain being surprised and then Irina flicked her hand to the side, launching Stain away from her body. But, Stain didn't feel much, and span in the air, cutting through the wires, and got on the other side of the bar, holding a hand to his stomach.

Tomura, seeing what Irina did, began to laugh.

"Hahahaha, that's my girl. She is able to even take on the Hero Killer. That's why she's my secret weapon you see? Like in a video game, she's the hidden party member you have to search for, and when finding them, they have stats cut above the rest of them. That's my Irina for you, she's very agile and strong. If you try and fight her, your life might have to be forfeited."

Tomura smirked out, Stain furrowing his eyebrows, while Irina walked towards Tomura, and got into a defensive position.

Stain however continued to chuckle, and held his blade tightly within his hand.

"Maybe you're right, she's strong, beautiful and she's crazy, my perfect type."

Irina cocked her head as Stain lunged for her. She flicked her hands in different ways, and made a wall of ethereal wires, blocking the man's path all together. Stain went to cut through them, but she opened up the wall, and jumped upwards, wrapping her legs around his neck, and tossed him towards the door, outside into the road, where he avoids an incoming car by jumping upwards once bouncing off the ground.

"You may leave now Stain-san. And never return again unless my Master permits it."

"Heeeh, don't worry crazy girl, my goals are clear. I am going to purge the Hero's that don't stand for justice. And I'll be taking Kenji-kun as my own apprentice. I've decided this, and nothing is going to stop me. Not even you. Bye crazy girl, I'm off to Hosu, come if you want, I wouldn't mind dancing with you again."

Irina's eyes narrowed, and she went to move forward, but Stain took off running, the public let out screams as he ran past them at a good speed.

Irina then turned towards Tomura who was aggressively scratching his neck.

"That damn loser, thinking that he is better than we are. Tch, I'm going to show him that the League of Villain's are better than Stain ever was, and even that damn Reaper as well. He might be powerful, but I have my Nomu's for the city to contend with. He said he's going to Hosu? Lets outdo him there. Ooh, makes me giddy with glee, Kenji-kun might see my progression!"

Irina made a slightly creeped out face.

"You seem to be very interested in Kenji. Even more so than ever before."

Irina spoke up, though she truly hoped that he didn't do anything to try and get Kenji now.

"But of course, Irina. Now that Stain is interested in him, I know I made the right choice after all. That boy is definitely going to be mine. No matter how long it is going to take me as well, I will get him, and we will be the ultimate Villain duo together, there would be no one who could stand before us and be our enemies. Kurogiri, prepare for us to leave, we're going to Hosu. Irina, you know what to do, come with me."

Kurogiri bowed his head, while Irina looked on, and then folded her arms.

"Tomura-san is surely going to be gunning for Kenji, and my Master wishes for him as well. How far are they willing to go to get Kenji? I need to do something before they cause massive destruction around Hosu and Stain-san...he truly is after Kenji...damn it, I need to do something...but, what can I do…? If I could protect Kenji somehow...but, I'm supposed to capture him for Master...this is going to be a difficult situation."

Irina folded her arms, and wondered what was going to happen next.

But whatever it was, she knew that she would have to do something. To follow her Master, to protect Kenji.

She was torn.

---

"Aah, take five Kenji-kun!"

Mt Lady said while wiping sweat off her chin, Kenji was dripping with some sweat as well.

They had just had a training session where Kenji was using his Quirk's to defend the area around him while Mt Lady threw large objects at things, it was to enhance his reflexes among other things.

Kenji gave her the thumbs up, and walked off to get some water.

However when he turned the corner, casually sat near the doorway, was Reaper himself, Kenji's Father had his arms folded, his back against the wall, and his eyes on the young boy.

Kenji gasped, and pulled back, but Reaper placed his hand outwards.

"Before you try anything, I haven't come to take you or argue with you."

"That makes a change." Kenji sighed out, looking towards Mt Lady, but she had already disappeared inside. "So, what do you want?"

Reaper leaned off the wall, and began moving closer.

Panic began to enter the young man's heart, and he pulled away.

Upon seeing that, Reaper stopped his movements.

"The Hero Killer came to see you, are you okay?"

Kenji couldn't work out his angle, why he sounded concerned.

"...I'm fine. I've dealt with evil like that before."

"I see, I'm glad you're okay. Anyway, I've noticed that you've begun using Death more, I'm happy for you."

"As much as it hurts, I am half Death so there's no point holding myself back. Did you just come here for that?"

Reaper shook his head.

"No, I wished to tell you something about your Death Quirk. If you're going to use it, don't limit yourself to just using it against enemies."

Kenji knitted his eyebrows together.

"What do you mean?"

Reaper disappeared from sight, surprising the young boy, and then he appeared before him, Kenji pulled back.

"You see, Death kills, anything Kenji. As long as our Death energy can touch it, it can die. Not just objects, but things around you as well."

"Things around me?"

Reaper gained a small smile, which surprised Kenji.

"Yes, that's right. I myself use my own Quirk to kill off gravity's pull just enough to make my movements ever so faster. Once mastering it, it isn't hard having a small almost unnoticeable dome of it around you during fights, so you can increase your speed. Death does that, you see? It kills not only just objects, but can kill things you can't see. Like the air, the gravity, energy, matter, it's like how I killed off the force of All Might's attacks, I couldn't see that force, but I used my knowledge to calculate what I'd need to do, how I'd achieve it, and how to send out my Quirk and that's one of the reasons I could casually trade blows with All Might for so long. You have to be witty to kill things you can't physically see, and be able to fine tune your Quirk along with having the knowledge to do so, but you can do it as well, I have belief in you."

"...Why are you telling me that anyway? What possible gain would you get from this?"

Kenji had to ask, since it seemed quite weird that he would say such things.

"Because I thought you might want to have the answers, and I don't have any personal gain besides teaching my son." Reaper casually jumped into the air, and his feet stuck to a wall, which surprised Kenji. "See this? By killing off the gravity in a special way, you can stick to walls like this. Well, this and some special equipment on your shoes as well. But, you have to be able to fine tune it. Because, if you just kill off everything around you, then you'd kill the air around you, which would make you quite breathless if you catch my meaning. It's a strong but tricky Quirk to master. Don't just think of what seems the most obvious, think outside of the box. Doing this kind of technique is harder than what that gravity girl from your class does where she can just touch stuff and they lose their gravity, this is a constant flow, conscious effort to actually kill off gravity, doing it too much will kill the air around you and you'll eventually suffocate, but it can have good applications to help you move around, but it also does make you light headed considering what happens, but you can get around that with training."

"...You tell me these things, and yet...I don't know if I could trust you...why do you want me to know these things?"

"Because you want to be strong to protect yourself, and others, right?" Kenji nodded slowly. "Then that's why. Here."

Reaper pulled out a book, and tossed it towards Kenji who caught it.

"Is this another guidance book?"

"It is yes, since we can't casually meet like this often, it has my notes on how to use the Death Quirk on a more intimate level, not just straight out attacking, but use it in ingenious ways. But I saw you using it on the ground to shape it into weapons, that was intelligent and using it with your Life Quirk to grow the ground, that was inspired Kenji." His eyes scanned the young boy, as he seemed to be stiff. "Remember Kenji, Death is quite a Quirk, it has some different applications if you use it right. It can be used to attack, and to support yourself, and your movements among other things."

Kenji stared on, he didn't know what to say.

Reaper then breathed slowly.

"No matter what you think of me, I want you to be safe, especially with the unique power you have, someone could use that to cause a lot of panic...even my enemies."

"...My unique power?"

Reaper leaped off the wall, and landed before Kenji. Kenji watched as Reaper petted the young boys head.

Kenji pulled back, Reaper expected that and didn't show any worry about it.

"You're very special Kenji, you don't realize how special quite yet. I'm not saying this just because you're my son either. But, you'll discover in the future...it's something you can do..."

"Something I can do...? Wh-What does that mean?"

"It's something that is...going to change your life...it's something I wish you wouldn't be burdened with."

"Burdened with? What do you mean?"

"It's to do with a certain man named All Fo..." Before he could finish, he heard Mt Lady coming over with a shout, so he pulled back. "I'll tell you another time."

Kenji furrowed his eyebrows, and then stuck his hand out.

"I can't let you leave, you're a Villain."

"Heh, I suppose not my son."

Reaper didn't even seem to care, and was proud that Kenji said that actually.

"By the way, I saw Daisuke again...he isn't involved with you, is he? He said he had things he needs to do..."

"No, he's not involved with me Kenji, don't worry about your brother, he's able to take care of himself. Goodbye my son."

Reaper gave a smirk, and turned, but Kenji couldn't allow it so easily.

"I wont let you leave!"

Kenji thrusted his hand forward, and his Life energy sprang out, formed chains in the air, and wrapped around Reaper's body, who chuckled lightly.

"You know how that chain is formed? Your Mom first used that technique on me years ago when we met in the Sports Festival. It's you connecting the Life in the air that's naturally around and then spreading that Life towards your opponent and binding the natural Life that's around them, isn't that interesting? It's how you make the barriers around you as well, by connecting the Life around you to become a protective dome. You can also move Life, remember that Kenji. That Life and Death Quirk, what a thing huh. Unique, just like you...just like him."

"Him...?"

Reaper casually broke the chains with his Death power, and then jumped into the air. Then Reaper leaped far and fast, going so fast that Kenji was blind sided.

Kenji watched him leave, knowing he wouldn't be able to catch him, and wondered what his Father was talking about, what was special about Kenji?

---

Meanwhile, as that was happening, Endeavour had gone to see Hikari about a few matters. As it happened, she was busy in the middle of training some of her students. Shoto looked between them and saw Momo and Itsuka going at one another strongly, Toru and Shinso seemed to be fighting one another as well, and seemingly had improved their skills a little bit.

"Aah, Hikari. There you are."

Hikari wiped her brow, and glanced towards Endeavour.

"Ooh my, Endeavour-chan, what's going on?"

"Actually, I need to converse with you."

Hikari folded her arms, while saying to the others "Keep going at it, I'll be watching." and then walked towards Endeavour.

"Can I presume this has to do with the Hero Killer?"

"Yes, that's right. We have had sightings that he is within Hosu. Right now, there have been people set up just in case he shows himself. However, I would feel easier if you also joined me during this capturing of the Hero Killer."

"Capturing the Hero Killer...as long as these teenagers would be safe, then I don't see a problem. But, I presume you've been told about the Hero Killer going after Kenji?"

"W-Wait, what!? The Hero Killer went after Kenji-kun!? Is he okay?!"

Hikari saw the worried face of Shoto, and could understand why she was worried.

"Don't worry about him Shoto-chan, he's perfectly fine. The Hero Killer is a mysterious person, but he didn't harm Kenji at all." Shoto wasn't sure if she was relieved honestly. "Either way, if you need me in Hosu, I'll come definitely. I don't want anymore deaths, not while I'm there anyway. I just can't believe that the Hero Killer went for my son."

"Yes that does relieve me Hikari. And you're right. What could he have wanted from a teenager who isn't even a Hero yet?"

Shoto found it rather interesting that Endeavour say 'yet' when referring to Kenji.

"I don't know, and truthfully, I don't want to know. I just want that man caught before he can try and target my child again. Though I don't know what else is going to happen honestly. But I'll be there in Hosu, and heal anyone that needs healing and fight if necessary as well."

Endeavour nodded, folding his arms.

"This situation is surely difficult to comprehend. The Hero Killer going for a child, and then killing these Hero's. He needs to be stopped before the masses become too worried. If that happens...then the future will be uncertain."

"I agree with you, Endeavour-chan. We'll stop the Hero Killer somehow, I don't know how yet, but he wont be doing this for much longer."

Endeavour was pleased about that, and he showed his appreciative face, while Hikari bit her finger, worried for what would happen if they didn't capture the Hero Killer, and what he would have in store for Kenji.

---

That night, Kenji had finished a round with Mt Lady and also trained with her as well. Though he worried for his friends, he knew that Mt Lady was right in the regards of being able to help others. But, he was also determined to do something as well.

While he laid down on his bed, he casually was looking through some message boards about Hosu, and wondered if the Hero Killer had shown up again and was surprised that while he wasn't seen in Hosu, he was seen in other places, and was shown to be running away.

"Stain-san, just what is your goal? Truly? Trying to capture me...I wont allow you to do that to me. But I have to protect others...ugh, damn Hero Killer. If he didn't come to me, I wouldn't involve myself. But if he wants me then it is personal. And my Father...what was he talking about...what's unique about me...? My Quirk maybe...but, what could it be about my Quirk...? He knows something...and it's to do with someone else...but, who is that person...? When he spoke...he seemed almost saddened..."

While he was thinking about what was happening, he continued searching through the internet about information on Stain. He knew some places he could visit, but even he knew that facing Stain by himself was practically suicide. He'd do it if he had too, but he didn't want to meet Stain down a dark alley anytime soon.

As he was waiting around within his room, his phone rang.

He picked it up, seeing that it was Izuku, and he was rather surprised.

So he answered the phone.

[Hey Ken-kun! I'm checking up on you. Are you okay?]

"If you mean no surprise visits from Hero Killer, then I'm fine." Kenji noticed a background noise that was going on. "Where are you anyway? It sounds rather noisy."

[Hehe, I'm actually on a train right now with Gran Torino-san, and we're just passing by Hosu. Speaking of, have you heard from Iida-kun lately? He's still not answering my messages.]

"Unfortunately, he's not answered any of mine either. I don't know what to think about any of this now. He's even more infuriating than the Hero Killer. At least he talked to me...about crazy things sure, but still..."

A chuckling could be heard coming from Izuku.

[You're not wrong, Iida-kun is being like-]

Before he could finish, Kenji heard the sound of something breaking. It sounded like metal, and he also heard the sound of screaming as well. Concern came over him, as he heard the sound of wailing as well.

"D-Deku-kun! What's going on!?"

Izuku didn't answer at first, but Kenji heard [Stay here.] coming from Gran Torino, probably directed at Izuku.

Then Kenji called out once more.

"Deku-kun! Can you hear me?! What's happening?!"

[K-Ken-kun! It's those things again! Those Nomu's! This one is a flying one...is it related somehow? Gran Torino-san is taking care of it, but I'm looking out, and I can see that there are a number of the Nomu's taking down Hero's!]

"Ooh God...Nomu means that it is Tomura-kun as well...and the Hero Killer could be there…Deku-kun! Be careful, alright!? We don't know what they'll be able to do!"

[Y-Yeah, I know! And Iida-kun is out in the middle of this as well...and if he sees this then maybe he'll go for the Hero Killer. We can't let that happen Ken-kun. I'm going to go and search for Iida-kun!]

"I'm not that far away, I'll be able to make it to Hosu in about five minutes if I push it. I'll meet up with you. If you find Iida-san first, let me know, and I'll come running."

[Right, be careful!]

"You too!"

Izuku ended the call, and Kenji jumped off the bed. He got his shoes on, and then he grabbed a few things that he thought he might need. And then he went towards the door, but Mt Lady came walking into the room.

"Kenji-kun, where are you going?"

"Hosu."

Kenji replied, Mt Lady looking on sternly.

"I thought we talked about this. You can't go-"

"My friend is in danger Mt Lady-san. Please don't stop me. Hosu's being attacked by Nomu's, and if that's the case, then I can help out, I know that I can. Even if I don't fight, then at least I can help people escape. Isn't that what you taught me? When that fire was burning, you threw yourself in there to try and help out strangers, why can't I do the same thing? This is about my friends. I need to help them."

Mt Lady huffed, folding her arms.

She didn't like the idea of Kenji going.

But, she also could see his resolve.

"You know, he might be there. That Hero Killer."

"I know that. My friend is going to try and fight him for his brother, I just know he is."

"How do you know he would?"

Kenji gave Mt Lady a calm but determined look.

"Because it's family, and he'll die if he does that. We can't take him alone currently, we aren't strong enough. Before this, I didn't really get the meaning of friendship because I didn't have friends. But now I see it clearly. And if I can save my friend...then I know I've done something good."

Mt Lady was torn.

But if people needed help, then she wasn't going to stand by and do nothing at all.

And she knew that Kenji would follow after her no matter what, so she didn't really have a choice.

"A...Alright Kenji-kun, but don't become involved with anyone that could try and kill you. Okay?"

"Y-Yes, I understand! Thank you Mt Lady-san!"

Mt Lady nodded, and they both took off together. As they did, Mt Lady called people in Hosu and arranged some Hero's to be there to keep Kenji safe.

They ran outside, and Kenji looked towards Mt Lady, explaining something quickly.

Mt Lady was surprised when he said it.

"...You want me to throw you?"

"Yes, in Hosu's general direction, and I'll grab you with a seed vine I have in my pocket, pull you close, and I can use my Quirk to get us there in about five minutes with that head start, and we repeat the process a few times."

Mt Lady wasn't so sure about it, but she used her Quirk, and grew.

She bent down towards him, and grabbed his body, and aimed for Hosu.

"You're sure about this?"

"I've never tested it out before, but yeah, I'm pretty sure, I've seen my Mom do this, and I'm half her so...it should work."

"S-Should?"

Mt Lady said with nerves.

"Yeah, should. Please throw me."

Mt Lady looked quite shocked, but if he was sure...then she had to do it.

"You must really love your friends to do this huh...well, whatever. Here we goooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Mt Lady took a throwers position, and then launched Kenji as far as she could.

He sailed through the air at a high speed, his hair waving around, he turned to Mt Lady and brought out a seed, grabbing her in her smaller form, and brought her closer, until she held onto his body.

"OH MY GOD! THIS IS SCARY AWESOME!"

"I KNOW, RIGHT!?"

Kenji yelled back with a wide smile as they sailed through the air.

"YOU CAN GET US TO THE GROUND, RIGHT!?" Kenji didn't answer, igniting worry within Mt Lady. "KENJI-KUN! YOU CAN KEEP US GOING SPLAT, CAN'T YOU!?"

"YES I THINK SO!"

Mt Lady truly hoped he could...otherwise, it would be the end for both of them.

"OKAY, I TRUST YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!"

Like that, Kenji and Mt Lady sailed through the air like shooting stars.

---

At Hosu, Hikari looked on at the carnage, while Endeavour growled at the sights of what was going on. The Nomu's were causing havoc throughout the city. Hikari looked towards the children that were there, and pushed them backwards, and while she had told them to stay in a safe place, they seemed to have followed her to try and help out, she couldn't blame them really, she probably would have done the same thing if she was them.

"Now everyone, listen to me. This is a dangerous situation, please don't try and be Hero's right now, and leave it to us. I can't believe you girls and boy followed me...but since you did, I'll protect you, don't worry."

Momo and the others nod their heads seriously, seeing the face that Hikari had on at that moment in time.

Endeavour looked around and saw from the sky, that a Nomu was going towards a few people. Gran Torino himself rushed towards him, but Endeavour used his flames to shoot out a strong burst of flames from his palms, setting the creature on fire, while Gran Torino used the jets on his feet to shoot himself backwards.

"Don't worry honoured elder, I shall take care of this."

Endeavour said with a serious face, but Hikari saw the movements of the Nomu.

"Be careful Endeavour-chan! These things have regeneration capabilities!"

Hikari warned, as the Nomu came out of the flames, and went towards him. Gran Torino however shot forward, and slammed it into the ground, stopping its progression.

"My, he's very good."

Momo praised the elder man, Itsuka cringing.

"This surely is going to be quite the battle."

"Aaaah! I don't think that I am ready for this large scale battle!"

Toru cried out, while Shinso furrowed his eyebrows.

Hikari then looked up, to see a Nomu flying down towards them, so she took two seeds out, and she made them grow with her Quirk. They formed large thick vines, binding the Nomu's body and she jumped upwards towards it, spreading her Life wings out, and kicked towards it.

The teens watched as she kicked so hard that the Nomu's body bent from the kick, she then span around and then kicked the Nomu into the ground, it still being bound.

The teens looked on as Hikari inhaled, and then she placed her hand outwards, a seed between her fingers. From the seed, plant life came out, and leaves formed around her. She stuck her hand outwards, and the leaves concentrated to her palm, forming a sword.

"Ooh my! She did that at the USJ, it's one of Hikari-sensei's Super Move's, The Leaf Blade! She can even cut through steel with that with how she enhances the sharpness of the leaves with her Quirk!"

Toru cheered out, seeing how great of a control Hikari had over her Quirk to do that.

"The final blow!"

She shot down like a bullet, her speed being incredible.

The teens watched as Hikari pierced the brain of the Nomu, killing it off. She looked uncomfortable doing it, but because she had to protect others, this is what she had to do.

"Not as strong as the one that was at the USJ."

Hikari muttered, Endeavour looking on and nodded.

"There was a reason you were made the Number Three Hero."

"Thank you, you also dealt with yours quickly. We need to spread our efforts though Endeavour-chan."

"I agree. I'll be sticking around here, it seems like the Nomu beasts as you call them are gathering around here."

"Seems so. Reports are coming in from the North of Hosu that there are some attacks there. I'll go there and help out anyway that I can."

"I got it, then good luck and be safe Hikari."

"Yes, you as well."

The pair nodded at one another, and split up.

Hikari went towards Momo and the others.

"Come along, I can't leave you here just in case something were to happen. Endeavour-chan is right about this being a hot spot for the Nomu's."

"Hikari-sensei, there's got to be something that we can do. Please allow us to help as well."

Shinso brought up, Momo and the others nodding their heads in agreement.

She inhaled slowly.

"...If you see people that need to be moved away, then please help that way, but don't become involved with the Nomu's themselves. They might not be at the same level as the one that was at the USJ, but these aren't weak either. Is that understood?" They all nodded. "Then lets go!"

[Right!]

Following after Hikari, Momo, Itsuka, Toru, and Shinso followed after her the best that they could. Shoto however had other ideas, and had to go and look for Kenji, knowing that he would be coming to Hosu, she just knew it.

---

As the people all disappeared, Reaper walked onto the scene, and looked down at the decaying Nomu. Though it was like that, he picked up the Nomu's deceased body, and held it tightly within his arms.

"Even if you're dead, I can still learn a few things from your corpse, you wouldn't have died in vain, my Nomu comrade."

He murmured, and handed it off to someone else.

Then he turned to see Himiko with some of the others of his group collecting some Nomu, she herself was riding atop of the Nomu that Reaper caught during the USJ which was carrying one Nomu in his arms, Himiko petted the Nomu's head while saying "Good boy, stay here a second, kay?" the Nomu just looked on blankly but obeyed her.

"Dad, we've captured three already, we're taking them back to the base."

"I see, good girl. I'm going to check around for some more."

Himiko nodded...but then stopped, and looked at her phone when she heard a beeping.

She overlooked it, a screen popped up and saw a blinking coming in fast.

"Dad, Kenji-kun's coming here...quite fast it seems."

"Kenji? He's coming to Hosu...how do you know?"

"Tracker."

She replied happily.

"Tracker...h-how did you...actually, I don't want to know."

Himiko did the peace sign while Reaper chuckled awkwardly.

"What should we do Dad?"

Reaper placed a finger by his chin.

"I know Stain's here, and with Nomu's around it could be dangerous...so, why don't you go to his side Himiko? I'll have that Nomu of yours take these bodies back, and I'll keep looking."

Himiko gave him four fingers in the peace sign.

"Leave it to me~ Have fun~"

Himiko waved and ran off.

Reaper directed his people before getting back to work himself, seeing his comrades carrying off some Nomu's.

He licked his finger, and placed it into the air.

"The air is warm tonight...seems like Endeavour's here. Now, it is time to for me to find some good things to play with."

With a smirk on his face, he walked through the city of Hosu, hoping to find some good fun.

---

Mt Lady and Kenji arrived in Hosu in no time at all. Because they weren't that far off, they finally managed to get there, and Kenji saw the carnage that some Nomu's were making. He saw the flames from Endeavour heating up the area, and he saw large thick trees of his Mother growing everywhere, so he knew they were there. Mt Lady clung to him tightly, and was crying for dear life.

"ARE WE DEAD KENJI-KUN!?"

"No, we survived, we're on the ground."

Kenji sweat dropped as he said that, while Mt Lady continued crying.

"ARE YOU SURE?!"

"Yes, please open your eyes."

Mt Lady opened her eyes slowly, and saw in fact that they were alive, and she let out a joyful sound.

"Ooh thank God..."

Kenji saw her stand on the ground, and breathed slowly.

Mt Lady looked around at the situation after calming down, and grimaced.

"It seems that you were right Kenji-kun, this is quite the scary predicament. So much destruction, and you say this isn't the Hero Killer?"

"Yeah, he wouldn't have access to Nomu's, unless he's teamed up with the League of Villain's, these are their territory. But to attack Hosu, what could he gain from this? But I'm worried. I can feel my Mother fighting, and Endeavour as well. And the Nomu's are spread out quite a distance around the city, I don't know what to do though. Who should we go and help first?"

While Kenji was speaking, Mt Lady looked around at the different sights.

"I don't know Kenji-kun, but whatever we do, you stay behind and allow me to take care of it, alright? Those Pro's up there will keep you safe."

She gestured to the detail that had appeared. Kenji knew that Mt Lady called ahead for them to appear, and he was alright with that.

"Alright, I agree Mt Lady-san."

As he said that, a large explosion went off and Mt Lady saw some of the building nearby being destroyed, and the rubble falling down towards some civilians.

"Kenji-kun! Stay here, I'll go and protect these people!"

"Okay Mt Lady-san!"

Mt Lady shifted to her larger form, and rushed towards the targets, grabbing them and moved them out of the way, just before they could be crushed. Kenji knew she'd be able to do it, he was happy that he was seeing her making such moves.

While she was doing that, Kenji shot forward his Life at first, using a barrier mid air to catch the debris, and then he sent off a powerful wave of his Death, crushing the rubble with his powers, and then destroyed it.

Mt Lady then ran around a corner, leaving Kenji in the middle of the street, directing others away...

But he soon noticed that it became quiet...eerily so.

The area was deadly silent, like all Life had been cleared out.

He didn't know why, but something was chilly in the air.

---

When he heard the sounds of something hitting the ground near him, Kenji stopped with a chill going down his spine.

He turned towards them, and saw the two Hero's assigned to watch over him, had been taken out so easily, he was shocked.

"But, how did they...why didn't I feel anything…?"

Kenji didn't even understand.

He couldn't sense anyone nearby.

But they had been taken out by something or someone.

But then he felt a hand on his shoulder, shocking him.

He turned around to see that it was the fox masked girl once more, who he didn't know was Irina. Irina within the fox mask cocked her head to the side, as Kenji pulled away from her, eyeing the young woman up.

"Hello, it seems that we're meeting again. It is unfortunate that you came to Hosu, I have to become involved."

Kenji wondered what she meant.

Why she said it like she did. It didn't make sense to him.

This girl...he thought he knew her Quirk...but the person he thought would have that Quirk, in his eyes, was deceased, so it couldn't be possible, not realizing that in fact it was his sister.

But more importantly, Irina had appeared, he didn't know what she'd do now.

"Y...You're that woman who was at the Sports Festival, controlling Tokoyami-kun! And the one who tried to take Kendo-san! A-Are you apart of this as well?!"

Irina tilted her head to the side wonderfully.

"I am sorry, but I have to take you now, by any means necessary."

Kenji pulled backwards, but then saw the others on the ground, so quickly used his Life chains to wrap them up, and brought them away from the area, placing them to a protected doorway.

"...Are you with the Hero Killer Stain? Is that why you were at the Sports Festival as well?"

That's what he guessed, due to the fact that Stain had just tried to take him.

But, he was way off base.

"No, I do not wish to be concerned with the Hero Killer. He isn't someone that interests me. However, my Master is interested in you, Kenji."

"...You speak familiar to me yet we don't know each other. Just who are you anyway? And what does your Master want with me anyway?"

Irina stepped forward, and waved her fingers around.

"You see, you are important to my Master, and I have to take you in with myself. And that means I am going to have to fight you. So, why don't you come with me right now? If you don't, then I'll have to use some other methods to take you in."

Kenji got into a fighting stance while Irina looked sorrowful through her mask, though Kenji couldn't see it due to said mask.

"If it is a fight you're looking for, then I'll have to give you one. Sorry, but tell your douche Master that I wont be going because I'm going to be saving a friend. The Hero Killer is not going to be taking another friend from me, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand more than you know. People have been taken away from me as well."

Kenji almost sensed something lonely from her at that moment.

But, he couldn't sense much more from her honestly, it was a little disconcerting.

Usually, he'd be able to sense someone, but he couldn't sense anything from her.

Her emotions, or even her herself.

It was like he was looking at someone who didn't exist.

He didn't know how she could do something like that.

But for the moment, he had to make sure that she was moved, so he could go and help his friends.

"Then you know what it means, and if you're going to stop me, then I'll force you to move!"

Kenji yelled out, and sent off a wave of his Death towards her. However, before it could touch her, Irina flicked her finger, and brought out Ibara before him from the shadows. She had vacant eyes, and her hands were put together.

"Will you hurt me to get to her Mikami-sama?"

Ibara said, but Kenji knew it was Irina doing it somehow, so he put his Life hand forward, and erected a barrier of Life to block the Death from touching Ibara.

"Shiozaki-san...she took you...I'm so sorry..." His hand tightened, seeing Ibara in such a state, but then conviction came to him. "I'll save you, I promise!"

He declared strongly.

Ibara however allowed her hair to go forward, and shoot for Kenji at a fast manner.

He pulled backwards, and went to take down her vines, when Kenji felt a punch slam him right in the face. His body was brought off the ground, and was slammed against a wall, denting it harshly.

He winced at the feeling of the punch, then he saw purple orbs going towards his body, so he came out of the wall, and they stuck to the wall, one hitting his chest, so he looked down.

Realizing what they were, he used his Death to kill off the sphere, and looked on to see that it was Sato who had punched him. A controlled Sato at that. Not only Sato, it was also Neito along with Mineta as well, who all were being controlled. Four people were under Irina's thrall.

"That punch...was Sato-san always that strong...?"

Kenji murmured, seeing Irina's wires seemingly giving them energy.

He thought about it, and wondered if she was doing something else other than controlling them.

"You've captured them...you intended to capture Itsuka-san as well, during that day at the park...for what? Your little army?! So you can have someone fight for you as well!?"

His eyes went towards Irina who looked back coolly.

"Maybe that's the case. My Quirk allows me to use these wires on living people. They're my puppets, nothing more."

"That's quite a cold way to describe how you use your Quirk, and on who you use as well. They are living people. Even if you use your Quirk like that, you can't refer to them as your puppets, they're living, breathing people."

"I'm quite a cold person."

She replied with a small voice.

Kenji watched the people he knew all move in front of Irina, as if they were protecting her.

She herself also seemed strong.

He didn't know how he was going to handle this.

"Why are you doing this to them...? They're...They're my schoolmates...why did you take them? They're innocent! Why take them?! Answer me right now!"

"Easy, they have good Quirk's, and can easily be beaten alone if you know how, together they are quite strong, especially with me controlling them." Irina walked forward, placing a hand on Neito's face, giving it a light pat but he didn't respond. "See? Under my full control, they'll do what I want them to do. I caught them specifically to gain you, Kenji."

Kenji looked between them all, seeing their vacant expressions.

"Mineta-san...Sato-san...Monoma-san...and Shiozaki-san...I'm sorry about this...I'll definitely save you! I'll beat this girl!"

Irina didn't show it, but she was internally happy that he said that.

So, she rose her hands, her wires making them raise their hands as well in defense.

"Will you fight your friends like this, to get to me? Can you hurt your friends to get towards me Kenji? Or, will you come with me and save them from being hurt? Or worse, killed? Because trust me, if you hesitate, then I take you to my Master." Irina declared coldly, then lowered her unseen by Kenji eyes. "Please defy me Kenji...please stop me...before I hurt you...for my Master...I have to do this...but you're my little brother so...I'm sorry Kenji, I have to do this for my Master...even if I hate this...I'm sorry, he's going to be watching so I have to try my best...so stop me..."

Kenji looked on towards them all, and wasn't sure what he was supposed to do now.

Fighting these people…

The people that he had grown to know.

His classmates.

People he'd not want to hurt.

Now, he would have to fight them to get close to Irina and even then, they seemed stronger than normal, so it could be even more challenging.

This was a battle that would be so harsh on him.

It was Kenji vs Irina, and some of Class 1A, and 1B as well.

This was going to be rather challenging to say the least.

More than challenging…

To fight his schoolmates to get to Irina...to harm innocents as they were more than willing to harm him.

He needed to find away to free them.

But...

This had become a duel between siblings, a duel, neither would want, but a duel, that was going to happen.

---

End chapter!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope your year is filled with good times!

So, we got the aftermath of what happened with Stain, who tried to recruit Kenji, but his brother came in and saved him! They had a touching reunion between them, even if Daisuke seemed stiff, he still does care for Kenji on a good level. Tsuyu and Himiko met...and in Himiko's eyes, they are now 'super best friends' that's going to be fun, especially when we get to the Forest Training Camp arc. Then Mt Lady tried to protect Kenji and while he understood, he still was determined, and now finds himself in a bind as well, fighting some of his friends. This is going to be tough for Kenji, who's not only fighting his classmates, but also has to fight his own sister! Though he doesn't know it yet, when he finds out...it's going to be tough for him.

Don't worry about Stain though, Kenji will be facing off against him as well.

But, Hikari is in Hosu as well as some others like Momo, Itsuka, Toru, and Shinso. So, maybe they can lend a hand? Or, maybe Himiko is going to lend a hand as well? Speaking of, it seems that Reaper isn't pleased with what Stain has been trying to do, while he wants the Nomu's as well, for what though? We'll be seeing it eventually!

Next time, Kenji vs Irina!

Kenji; Momo, Himiko, Katsuki (fem), Mina, Shoto (fem), Toru, Mt Lady, Midnight, Tsuyu, Jiro, Mei, Nejire, Itsuka, Ibara.

Izuku/Ochaco.
