Chapter 32 is here for you my readers.

"Destiny is forged by those who fight." He lashed out, my own blade passing through my stomach without pain. The ashes sparked on the ground once again as I slashed trough his bicep forcing him to drop Milo.

"Destiny... is hideous." I dispelled the fire blade and looked at the man. "Stain what caused you to become this... twisted?" I asked, not expecting a response.

"All Might, he... he fights for those who can't. He fights to protect, he burdened the weight of the world on his shoulders. I wanted to be like him." His breathing came in gasps as he finally succumbed to his wounds.

"Would All Might have killed other heroes?" I asked.

"No... he wouldn't... he'd hate me... I just wanted Heroes to be... honorable." Stain fell over, not dead, but certainly not able to fight.

"You had a vision... that the future would be filled with symbols of peace, but murder wasn't the way... leading by example may bring it into reality."

Chapter 32: A Explanation

I could finally move again. I stood up after getting scolded by Manual for 10 minutes face down on the ground, even after everyone else got up they left me on the ground. As I washed the blood out of my hair and face Pyrrha came over to me. "I'm sorry but wee need to talk." She said while Grabbing my wrist and dragging me back into the ally.

"Pyrrha what is it?" I asked, the look on her face was sad and darkened.

"I only have 7 months to live. The deal that I took was so that I could get you ready for the power of the Fall Maiden. I want to go back, but I can't Ruby, and every time I use the power I have burn up part of my soul." I looked at her my mouth hanging open.

"Pyrrha, I just got you back, I can't lose you again." I said as I hugged her.

"Ruby, the power is burning at my soul even if I try to delay it, I'll still die again." She sucked in a breath of air.

"They why did you use it?" I asked refusing to let her go, her body was unnaturally warm.

"I had no choice." She forced me off of her.

"So... we have to get me ready to inherit the power?" I asked.

"Yes, that means lots of aura training." She nodded. As we walked over to the others.

As we waited for the cops to arrive a small group of heroes arrived with Endeavour and a older Hero who started to tear into Deku. "I think we will be in quite a bit of trouble." I said.

"Have you met yourself Ruby?" Pyrrha asked.

I just stuck my tongue out at her which she caught with her nails. "Bey legt ghoo!" I tried to free myself from the pinch.

A loud screech rang out as a green mass swept past us, and I felt something splatter on my face. "AAAAHHHH!" Deku yelled as he was stolen by a winged Nomu.

As I reached for Crescent Rose I felt something wet slide on my face, the Nomu fell out of the air dropping Deku only for Stain to catch him and stab a knife into the exposed brain of the mutated creature. "This boy is the future of Heroes. And you fools couldn't stop his capture, and you dare to call yourselves Heroes." He laid Deku down on the ground. "I will purge your filth." The air hung stilled as wounded man walked towards us, yet No one could move. No one except...

"Stain, I respect your dream to return heroes to the golden age, but killing isn't the right way." Pyrrha stood in front of him.

"Then how would you do it?" He stopped.

"Leading by example." She took a step towards him as he fell over, unconscious.

If it weren't for her, he would have killed all of us.

I laid in the hospital bed, "It was just a cut on my head." I whined. "Why dose it hurt so much to move?"

"You over extended yourself." Shouto said from his bed in the corner, "Midoriya and I were the luckiest of the four of us."

"Yeah, I didn't break my arms this time." He said while rubbing the back of his head

"But I lost a bit of feeling in my hand." Iida said as he flexed his fingers, having a bit of difficulty.

"Every time I get involved someone's hand get hurt." Shouto said while looking down, "It's like I'm some sort of hand crusher."

"Hey, my hand was my fault." Deku said franticly waving his hand in the air.

"Wait what happened to your hand?" I asked that's when I finally noticed the large scar across his palm.

"The Sports Festival." Deku said.

"Oh." The door to the room opened as three people entered, Manual, Pyrrha and the old man that tore into Deku last night.

"Hi." I say meekly while looking at them. The old man again started yelling at Deku.

"Iida, Ruby, you two caused me so much trouble, you aren't allowed to use your abilities like that." Manual sighed. "And after I told you not to go looking for the Hero killer. What was your plan? Beat him down and hope that's enough?"

"I will admit I didn't think it through." Iida said while bowing.

"I'm sorry." I looked down.

"But your willingness to act is admirable, I think you have what it takes to be a Hero." He smiled at us.

"But you made a amateur mistake, you let you feelings dictate your actions. And it nearly got you all killed." Pyrrha shook her head, "I remember when I did that. The results were less then... agreeable." She said, and I knew exactly what she meant.

"Then what would you want us to do?" Shouta stood up, "Not do anything?"

"No. You should have called for help." A fourth person entered the room, and his head was a...

"AAAAHHHH! So Cute!" I said before covering my mouth.

"I thank you young Hero, hello I am Hosu's police Chief. But as you have broken the laws, that would usually mean that you would lose your ability to be heroes." We all looked down at the ground. "If this were to go public, the media would praise you, but punishment would be unavoidable."

"That is why all credit is going to Manual and Pyrrha." Gran Torino said.

"Yeah about that... why isn't she getting chewed out?" I asked.

"I was ordered to distract and restrain him to the best of my ability by Manual." She said, "That and there was a camera filming us when the Nomu attacked."

"But I would like to thank you all personally for bringing down the Hero Killer." He bowed to us, "The City of Hosu is in your debt."

I leaned out of the window as the wind blew across my face, The others had already left, but I had to stay so that they could make sure that my back wasn't any worse, right now it felt like a pleasant warm towel was on it. 'Mom... We defeated your killer. I'm sorry, I lost sight of what was important for while there. We'll see each other again someday, I will learn to use Thorns as well as you did. I'll find Torchwick and stop the League of Villains, then go home and end Salem.'

Mt phone rang in my pocket as turned from the window. I pulled it out and saw that it was Kiri who was calling me. I answered it with a small smile. "Hey kiri."

"Ruby I'm sorry for not calling, but the hero that Tetsutetsu and I are interning under has us working around the clock. Are you okay?" I could hear the fear in his voice.

"Just a few scrapes and a cut on my head, I'm fine."

"I should have been there, what kind of man..." I could hear his quirk activate.

"Kiri, don't worry, I had Pyrrha." I giggled, he sounded so cute when he got this worked up.

"Yeah about that... isn't she supposed to be dead?" He asked.

"She is, but isn't... it's complicated." I said.

"Everything with you is complicated. Shit he's coming I'll call you back, Bye love you AAAAAAHHHHH!" As my boyfriend returned to his internship I let my hand fall to my side.

"I love you too." I wiped a tear from my eye.
