Hello people. I am your storyteller, and you are my listeners. tonight we continue the fable of the Red Huntress.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" I activated my mothers crossbows and a twin wrist swords of ice formed. I swung them at the Hero Killer., the ice shattering against the steel blade. "I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL! TELL THE DEVIL I SAID HI!" I spun mid air and landed a kick on the side of his head smashing him into the wall. I landed on my feet and swung my fist into his face, but he caught my fist and swung at me, his blade passed clean through my gut, but it didn't cut. My midsection reformed from the spray of petals. I let out a wordless howl as I brought my other fist around and formed a flaming gauntlet over the thorns, my strike hit him in the ribs and I felt something break in him as he was sent sprawling in the filth. The gauntlet shrunk into a bolt that I fired at the injured villain, he deflected it with a knife..
"Your White Huntress' daughter aren't you? So you're also here for revenge?" He growled as he held his side.
"I'm here to put an end to your crimes, my own interests are second to those I serve to protect, but yes I would be lying if I said killing you wouldn't bring a smile to my face." I snarled.
"Then you aren't worthy of being a Hero."
Chapter 30: The Reaper Hero Vs The Hero Killer (lame I know)
As we stood across of the villain, his declaration hung in the air. "Todoroki, keep him away from them. I will handle this" I pulled out my mask and put it on, the click as it expanded. And as I breathed in focusing on the Hero Killer. "It's only right for one to know their loved one's killer name. Who are you?"
"I am Stain, and I will kill all the Heroes that sully what it means to be a hero. You should be more worried about the injured, not with killing me. And that is why you will be made an example of, your mother came after me, and when she was faced with death she cried and begged, like a child." I ground my teeth at that statement, "You're no Hero child. You only want revenge."
"You're wrong, I came after you so you can't hurt anyone, because when you kill Heroes, you do more harm then just snuffing a soul, you harm their families, now you're sins have caught up to you." I shoot forward a Ice wrist blade forming as I swung at him, and again the blade shattered against his, but I brought my right to his face, only for him to grab my arm and toss me over his shoulder, slamming me onto the ground.
"You seek to prevent deaths, yet you seek to kill yourself. What do you intend to achieve like that?" I did a kip-up to avoid his metal souled boot as he stomped down where my head was. "Do you think killing me would improve the world? That won't change the fact that Heroes take advantage of their popularity, such selfless acts shouldn't have a price tag. Yet there is two, All Might and the boy in green are worthy of the title of Hero."
"How ironic then, the richest and most popular hero is the worthy one? Do you not see the fault in that?" I fired leaped onto the wall, planting myself then launching myself into a kick which he block with ease but pushed him back a few feet. "Killing Heroes so those that remain will act more like All Might? What of rescue heroes then? They don't get much fame or notoriety for their work, are they not worthy? A true hero who puts their life on the line!" I formed a pair of swords made of stone which landed heavy strike after heavy strike on his sword.
He lashed out with another strike aiming for my leg but my aura stopped it, but the force of the blow buckled my knee for a second which he used to trip me over onto my back, he pinned me down and held his knife over my throat, I gripped his wrists and fought back and forth to twist the blade back at him. "Why do you fight? Why did you want to be a Hero?" He snarled.
"FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T FIGHT FOR THEMSELVES! I FIGHT SO THAT THE FIGHTING I ALREADY HAVE DONE ISN'T FOR NOTHING! I FIGHT SO MY FRIENDS WON'T GET HURT! YET HERE WE ARE! I CAN'T PROTECT THEM BECAUSE I'M NOT FAST ENOUGH!"
"DAMN IT! FULL COWLING!" Deku appeared over me where Stain was and the Villain was crouching on the ground, holding his side as he coughed up blood. "RUBY STOP BLAMING YOUR SELF FOR STUFF!"
"RECEPRIO BURST!" Iida shot past all of us and his leg impacted Stain's gut, sending him back first into a dumpster. "Ruby, we're your friends, not your burden. We will fight together and protect each other."
"Indeed, after all you have to see that fight him alone is useless. Together we'll bring him down." Todoroki helped me up.
"Let's kick this villains ass." the Pro stood up, "Seems his quirk has worn off. Surrender Stain." He ordered.
"False Heroes. All of you will die." he shoot forward but I was quicker, I fired of a bolt of ice right where he step forming a spike of ice, bat instead he pushed of it throwing several knifes that pierced Todoroki and Iida's forearms. "I will see that the future see's strong Heroes!" He slashed at me but I caught the bade with my hand. Aura sparking around the chipped blade, my left had came up from under and a blade of ice pierced his stomach.
"Don't worry, you'll live." I whisper to him as he gasps for air. "I would leave you for dead, but you have a lot of people to answer two, but as far as I'm concerned, The Hero Killer is dead." I roughly pulled the blade out of him.
"Not bad Little Red." I spun around to face Torchwick and a round exploded on impact with my gut. I was sent flying like a ragdoll, my head smacked the wall breaking my aura and mask from the force of the impact. "Till next time Little Red." he stepped inside a purple portal and vanished.
"Damn it Torchwick." 'I should have known you were waiting to get me.' I slowly got to my feet blinking the blood out of my eyes. I looked over at Stain and he was still fighting. As I watched Deku and Tenya beat him down, Todoroki kept him on the defensive from a distance, the hole where I had stabbed him was charred black.
The pro helped me get stable on my feet, "Your friend stopped the bleeding, but he refuses to stop."
"He's pushed himself to a level not possible with normal training, he must have done some sort of pain resistance training as well, I did some for awhile, but it did more harm then good." I reasoned. "We have to either kill him or knock him out."
"No killing." He scolded.
"No promises." I shot back. I pulled out Crescent Rose and a clip of rubber rounds. "Non-lethal ammo. This should work." I aimed up a shot with his torso and fired, the round impacted with his chest causing him to stagger allowing for Iida to land a kick in his gut while Deku landed a full fist on his chin. As Stain staggered back I quickly swapped to full powered blanks and launched myself at him, hooking him with my scythe an slamming him into the ground. I spun around and slammed the back hook into his chin sending him up into the air. Then Todoroki washed him with flames he landed in heap. "Stay down."
"No, I can't be defeated by false Heroes like you." He staggered to his feet. "I will kill you. I have to kill you."
"You have lost, Stain." Iida looked down on the villain.
"I will not lose to you." He brought up his hand licked the blood off of it and my body stopped working, I fell to my knees as everything went limp.
"I can't move." I landed on my shoulder and the four other slumps told me that the others were also paralyzed.
"It's his quirk, he tastes your blood, and you'll lose control of your body." Deku struggled against the limp invisible bonds his body.
I closed my eyes and pulled on the ancient power, but I couldn't. My body refused to move, I didn't feel the light grow.
"Get Back!" I heard Pyrrha's rough voice as her shield impacted with stains chest. I swear I could hear a wet squelch from him as the disk returned to the Amazon.
"You have a death wish as well?" He growled as blood dripped from his mouth.
"No. I will save them."
And Chapter 30 is done, next time will he finally fall?
