Chapter 26: Poison of the Past

Shadow looked at the camera on the drone and held up the number two with his fingers. "Two down," He then held the number five. "Five to go, Black Mask." Black Mask watched with eyes of pure anger, he was pissed as he was digging his fingers into his expensive desk.

"I'm coming for your ass and none of those assassins are going to stop me!" Shadow proclaimed as everyone got the message. That this night was not going to end until Black Mask was brought down. Izuku looked at the drone for a few minutes before he left and walked out of the cage. The teen was going to leave, but then he stopped, something caught his eye.

He looked down and saw the gun that Slade tried to use on him during their fight. The gun was CZ P-10 handgun. Shadow picked up the gun and analyzed it, his eyes looked like a child in a toy store. The Family watched as they saw Shadow scan the gun, they knew that look. Their leader did have a gun fascination, just like Bullseye. The teen walked over the ammo clip that he kicked, he grabbed it and loaded it inside of the gun.

"Nice gun." The teen said as he got a feel to gun that was now his, he checked the grip, weight, and sight. When all was good he nodded his head. He was about to go, but thought about his fight with Slade. 'Deathstroke had a utility belt when I fought him, there has to be something that I can use in it.' The teen thought as he flashed to downed assassin.

Shadow looked at Slade and grabbed his collar, he then flashed back to the cage and dropped on the ground. Shadow then looked at his utility belt and snatched it off.

"I'm taking this." Shadow told the down assassin as he was now about to leave, but he came back. "You know what, I'm taking the sword too. You won't need it anymore." Shadow took the sword and before he left he made one last stop to Penguin's office. Everyone saw him disappear from their view and the camera followed him to the stairs where he walked back into the office of Penguin.

Shadow walked through the door where he saw the two girls still unconsciousness, but he didn't pay them any mind. 'I need to be quick about this, the cops will be here soon.' Shadow walked into the center of the room, he closed his eyes and fired an eagle pulse. A sonar was fired off even though no one could see except Izuku and when he opened his eyes he looked toward a portrait hanging behind Penguins destroyed desk.

Shadow walked to the portrait of the north pole with some penguins on it and put his fingers underneath the frame of the painting. Shadow ran his fingers on frame edges, there was nothing till he felt a small button on his index finger. He clicked it and soon the portrait rose revealing a vault. "To easy." Shadow said aloud as he saw the safe with a combination lock on it and it wasn't just that.

The safe had a fingerprint scanner, retina scanner, voice recognition all rolled into one. "Ohh, look that safe." Rouge said with excitement and Remy was no better. The thieves enjoyment for robbery showing as they saw their leader stare at the safe.

Now Shadow could wake up the Penguin and get him to open the vault which will reveal its contents, but he thought of a different and more efficient way to get open. What did he do... well it's simple, he punched it. The punch put a hole in the safe, Shadow then yanked his arm out with the safe coming alone with it.

With the safe removed he could see what was inside and he could say that Penguin had quite the stash. Jewelry, money, guns, a solid gold penguin statue, but none that matter to Shadow. All he wanted was the book that laid in the center, he smiled when he saw it and went to grab it.

Shadow then opened it and saw its contents, the teen showed his teeth when got what he was searching for. Once he got what he came for he dropped the book and began to leave the office. As he was walking out he saw Penguin starting to wake up.

"Uhhh...Wh…What-" Penguins didn't finish as Shadow soccer kicked him in the face.

"Nighty night, Penguin." Shadow said as he left the office and the club. When he got outside he saw that there were drone's on him.

"Hey, cops. Come to the Iceberg Lounge and you will find the Penguin, Electrocutioner, and Deathstroke all knocked out and waiting to be booked. Also drink a lot of coffee because it's going to be a long night." Shadow said with a smile as he flashed away.

With Smoker

Smoker had finally arrived at the Lounge where there were other cops all handcuffing the criminals. Smoker looked around at the damage and sighed, Izuku was long gone and they don't know where he went. The detective heard his phone ring and answered it.

"Naomosa," Smoker answered as he was greeted.

"Anything?" Smoker sighed letting out smoke out from his cigar. Naomosa heard the sigh and guessed what the answer might be.

"Nothing, the kid's gone. No trail, but we did get Penguin and the assassins. Oh, and let me not forget the large amount of military grade weapons, inhibitor collars, and Penguin ledger." Naomasa widen his eyes at that.

Inhibitor collars are designed to shut off a person's quirk. The only people that are allowed to carry them are a select few police stations and the Hero Tribunal's private army. So how did the hell did Penguin get them? Not only that, they also scored Penguin ledger, meaning they have more than enough evidence to put him away for good.

"Are you sure that they are real inhibitors collars?"

"I'm holding one as we speak and yes we tested them and they're the real deal. While I look for the kid, I suggest you have a word with Chief and ask him how the hell does a weapons dealer get hands on military grade collars." Naomasa nodded his head, he will indeed have a word with the Chief of Hosu.

"Also Smoker, you should know that Torino and Endeavor are not from Hosu. Once they get here they've been ordered to bring Izuku in." Smoker widened his eyes at that, Izuku was not going to like that. He wanted to take Black Mask down himself and if anyone gets in his way he will no doubt punish them.

"You know he's not going to listen to them."

"He'll have no choice." Naomasa couldn't see it, but Smoker rolled his eyes. The smoke man knew better than anyone that Izuku has choice, he just often choices the wrong one.

"Alright, thanks for the heads up. I'm about done here, so I'm heading back out. Izuku already has a head start on us."

"Any idea where he's headed?" Naomasa asked as Smoker turned to leave the Iceberg Lounge.

"Penguin said something about a Steel Mill, but the problem is that there are three in Hosu and we have no clue which one Izuku went to." Smoker told Naomasa and the detective formed an idea.

"I'll contact Torino and Endeavor, we'll send them to the two we know and the third-"

"I'll check out."

"I'll send forces to back you up." Smoker nodded his even though he wouldn't need it. He can take care of himself.

"Got it, Smoker out." When Smoker hung up the phone, he got into his car and texted Shadow. It was too dangerous for him to call him with people listen to their conversation. Someone could make him and that would be bad for both him and Shadow.

We got Penguin and everyone else. Endeavor and Torino are inbound to Hosu, heading to Steel Mills.

Smoker sent the text as he turned on the engine of his car and made his way to one of three Steel Mill's. He just hoped that the one he chose was the right one and that Shadow doesn't do anything reckless. Ok, that last one he knew was a stretch.

With Shoto

Shoto exited the cab and the vehicle sped off in a hurry, the driver did not want to be in the city any longer than he has to. Shoto looked around and could see that the streets were empty, he would see the occasional cop car fly by, but as for people it was empty. Everyone was safely in their homes trying to avoid the fights that were about to begin.

"Now I need to find Izuku." Shoto turned on his phone and went to social media, Izuku was the trending topic. He read the tweets and saw the images, from what he saw it seems like Izuku was heading to a steel mill. Shoto put his phone away and began to make his way there, he just hoped that Izuku was there first and not his father.

With Midnight

"Nemuri, he's going to be alright." Yu was telling Midnight as the woman was biting her nails. "He got past the first two and he still looks fine. Izuku-"

"Izuku will keep going." Nemuri interrupted Yu as she looked at her friend with a concerned look. A look You never really sees. "Izuku will keep going, you heard him. This won't stop till he gets Black Mask." Yu didn't know what to say to confront the woman.

She knew that Izuku would keep going, the boy was determined yes, but also reckless. Nemuri has been trying to get rid of that part of Izuku, but the teen is always feel that he has something to prove. That the world is on shoulder.

"He'll be fine." Yu said again but not for Nemru, but for herself. The duo looked back to the screen as the drones scoured the city in search for Izuku.

With The League

"Holy shit, he beat Deathstroke." Killmonger said, surprise all over his voice. He's heard that Deathstroke was the best, yet this kid beat him and it wasn't no lucky win either. Izuku beat Deathstroke with pure skill and skill alone.

"You owe $20." Tomura said as he held his hand out and the mercenary grumbled as he fished a twenty dollar bill out his pocket. He wasn't the only one as many people were paying up for they had lost the bet. A pool was going on what assassin was going to kill Izuku and right now it wasn't looking good. Electructioner and Deathstroke had cost people $2000.

"This kid... I can see why you brought us here." Scandal said as he washed some cups. Tomura stared at the TV as the drones were looking for the green haired teen.

"I get the feeling that he hasn't shown us what he really can do?"

"What are you speaking of Tomura?" Kurogiri asked as he took more orders from customers.

"Has anyone notice those rings on his wrist." Those that fought Izuku already meaning Kurogiri, Killmonger, Terra, all looked at Tomura. "Anyone ever noticed that every time he fights those rings glow because I've seen it when he fought the Nomu and Sabertooth."

"What do you think it means?" Terra asked as she helped Toga with handing drinks out.

"I don't know, but I got a bad feeling that we might find out soon enough." Tomura said ominously as everyone's eyes went to back to the television.

With Trinity

"I just received word that Bullseye is in Japan." Killer Frost told Wesker as the man stared at the large monitor, his eyes never leaving it.

"Where's Shadow?" Wesker asked everyone in the room, basically ignoring that Bullseye and another one of his agents have entered Japan. He didn't care who answered him, he just wanted to know where his creation was.

"The tech heads are searching for him now. They think that-" Killer Frost was interrupted by chairman himself since he already knew the answer.

"He's going to the Steel Mill." Wesker told them and everyone looked at him. The chairman said the sentence like he was certain that he would go there.

"How do you know?" Gero asked.

"Black Mask used a steel mill as a hideout and headquarters before he moved to his penthouse. It's also where he made his enemies being cops, journalist, and pro's disappear on occasion." Wesker told them and Frost decided to ask one question.

"Should I tell Bullseye where he's going?" Wesker smirked and gave his answer.

"No, he'll figure it out. Knowing him like I do, he'll want to make a dramatic entrance."

With 1-A

Ochako lets loose a breath that she didn't know she was holding, she was glad that Deku had survived his fight with Electrocutioner and Deathstroke. Gunhead saw her with her hand over chest and saw how worried she was when that teen was fighting.

"Ochako, tell me about this Izuku?" Ochako was suddenly confused, why would Gunhead want to know about her fellow classmate. Even with the confusion Ochako still nodded and told her teacher about her class president.

"Izuku, is a good person. He's strong, fast, caring, has a big heart, and he saved my life in the entrance exam. When everyone thinks that he some cocky guy that has tons of power, he shows them that he wants the best out of them. He's my best friend." When Gunhead listened to Ochako the more he could tell that there was something between the two.

Perhaps they are in a relationship or maybe they both have a crush on each other. Since he never met Izuku he doesn't know, but since Ochako is here he could just ask her. Besides it will help the girl take her mind off what's happening tonight.

"Ochako, do you like Izuku?" When Ochako heard that question her face quickly became red, she didn't like Izuku. Did she? I mean yeah he saved her from the zero pointer, helped her get to the finals in the sports festival, and let's not forget that he... carried her like princess after her fight with Katsuki and when she got lifted up by him she felt his muscles. Then there's the abs, the many, many abs that he has.

Ochako shook her head trying to get rid of the thoughts and answers Gunhead's question. "N-N-No. Me and Deku l-l-liking e-e-each other. Come on." Gunhead saw right through her and laughed.

"Ah, to be young again." The comment still left the gravity girl with a red face as her mentor continued to laugh. 'Me and Deku... together?'

With the Family

"Tails, where's Shadow?" Rouge asked of her little brother and the fox was busy typing away.

"I got him, he's heading north to a Steel Mill." Tails as he pulled images from the CCTV system, the Family looked at the monitor to see a bike fly one of the cameras.

"Tails, where's the drone you stole?" Blaze asked next as she looked at the monitor with the many camera angles.

"It's follow him and so are the others. It won't be long before everyone realizes where he's going." Knuckles couldn't understand what's going on, he knows Shadow is better than this. It's almost like he wants the cameras on him.

"I don't get. Why is he doing this?" Knuckles said and everyone looked at him now.

"What are you talking about?" Sonic asked his teammate.

"I mean this… this is too easy. Shadow is better than this and yet he's allowing people to see him. Why?" Everyone could see what the muscle man was talking about. Shadow would never let himself be seen so easily, so why is he doing this. Luckily they wouldn't have to way for Sliver answered it the question.

"Because he's sending a message." Everyone now looked to Sliver as he began to explain more. "He's sending a message to father and the rest of Trinity. He's telling him that he's still the weapon that they created and that he's coming for them. Raven you told us that he remembers him, and we all saw the footage with his fight with Sabertooth. It's only a matter of time." Sliver whispered the last part, but everyone heard well enough.

"A matter time till what?" Beast Boy asked.

"A matter time till he regained his memories." Espio said, but that wasn't Sliver's answer.

"That could be a possibility, but I was leaning more to another answer. What if Shadow is realizing that UA won't be able to help him? We know from looking at this that our brother is... well his brutality isn't gone and we know that heroes today are-"

"Soft." Knuckles the word as fact not as an opinion and Sliver nodded his head.

"Yes, they're soft. Shadow wants war with Trinity and he can't do this alone. So that-" Rouge was the next one to cut Silver.

"You think that Shadow is going to leave UA behind to fight Trinity." Sliver didn't answer, but yes, that was his belief.

"I'm not for certain, but yes that is what I believe." Everyone was silent after that. Could they possibly get their brother sooner than they think?

"I solution to all this," Everyone looked to their eldest brother to see what he had to say. "I think we should test Shadow again and ask him all this." Eyes widened when they heard that.

"You want me to go again? It won't be easy as last time, Remy." Mystique told him, but Remy shook his head.

"Not you, he'll tear you to pieces. I was thinking of someone who can go toe-toe with him and see where his mind set is. And there's only person who can do that." Remy looked to Espio and now everyone understood what he meant. If words can't get through Shadow...maybe fist can.

"Find him and fight him. I like it." Before anyone can give any opinions on Espio and Gambit's plan, Tails had called out to him.

"Guys I got him, he's entered the Steel Mill." Tails told everyone as they all turned back to the monitor. Tail's drone had found and now their brother had back from his family, but it's not like he needed or wanted it.

With Shadow

Shadow was near the Steel Mill, he was a quarter mile from it and he was ready. The steel mill was about half way out the city, but it wasn't deep into the woods. Shadow had parked his bike by a nearby building and went up top to survey the area. He knew that there were many Steel Mills in the area, but he knew this had to be the one. Shadow had searched Penguin office and found the address of this Steel Mill in a vault hidden in the bird's office.

He sent out an eagle pulse to confirm his theory that this was the place and he smiled when he saw the red outlines. There had to be dozens of soldiers in the steel mill guarding it and Shadow was ready to fight them all.

"Looks like Black Mask called his boys to tell that I'm coming." Shadow said aloud as he looked through a small scope that Deathstroke had in his belt.

Shadow saw many gunmen guarding the gate with weapons hidden behind them. The guards were dressed like everyday workers in orange jumpsuits and orange hats. They were crawling all over the place, the gate was guarded, the cat walk, rooftops, and even the main gate into the steel mill.

Shadow used the scope some more to survey the area and soon found what he was looking for when he saw the office to the Steel Mill. The office had guards inside as well, but the problem is that he had to get through all goons that were on the ground.

'I could go in, take out everybody in way and make my way to the office. Option two is I can go stealthy and... Oh, who I'm kidding. Option one is way better than option two.' Shadow smiled as he jumped down from the roof, when he landed on the ground he pulled out his phone and changed the song to something hard. Something like The Bloodiest by Jay Rock.

Shadow got on his bike and be revved it up, bringing it to top speed. The engine was roaring loudly as the back tire was digging into the ground making smoke come up. When Shadow let go the bike sped off to the Steel Mill. As Shadow was getting the gate the guards saw him and widened their eyes, the took out their SMGs that they were hiding and fired at the teen. Shadow weaved past the bullets, but bullets flying didn't mean that he would slow down.

Instead he pushed the throttle down to go even faster, he was speeding up on purpose because he had something in mind. He was going to break the gate the only way he knew how, by using the bike as a battering ram.

As Shadow neared the closer and with the intense amount of bullets coming, he grabbed the brake handle and leaned forward to pull of a front ward wheelie. Shadow wasn't done though as he continued to lean forward sending his body into the air, he held on tightly to the bike as his he brought with him into the air. When his feet landed on the ground Shadow with his strength threw a 400 pound bike like it was soft ball.

The guards widen their eyes as they saw the bike coming at them like a fast ball, they jumped the hell out of the way as the motorcycle flew towards the gate. When the bike collided with the gate there was an explosion that alerted everyone where Shadow was.

The viewers watching still had no clue where Izuku was, but they could hear the music and they knew that from the sound of that song Izuku causing some action.

Then they all saw the explosions on the televisions, Shoto who was out saw the smoke in the sky and heading to that direction. Smoker looked out his car window and did a hard U-turn as he made his way to the Steel Mill.

"He's made contact, get to the steel Mill. I repeat all units move to the Steel Mill!" The chief order form his headquarters as officers were mobilizing and getting to their vehicles. Naomasa was next to the chief as he gave the orders, the detective eyeing him closely.

The conversation that Naomasa and Smoker had about inhibitor collars belonging to Penguin was still in his mind. It shouldn't be possible that someone like Penguin had military grade ones, he would brush this off as rob shipment, but the number that Smoker told him made him worry.

"Smoker contacted me and reported that Penguin had military grade inhibitor collars. Collars that only a stations special hero task force and the Tribunal's personal army are allowed to have." The dog looked back at Naomasa with a puzzled look, he didn't know about that.

"How is that possible?" Naomasa shrugged his shoulders.

"You tell me. Inhibitors are not found easily and they are shipped out under secrecy, the only person that could know if they're getting them is a person with your level of access." The chief growled at Naomasa now, he knew what he was doing.

"Are you honestly insinuating that I sold him collars? I took an oath when I took on this job and that was to follow the law. I had nothing to do with this. Penguin must've stolen one our manifest...or I have a traitor in my task force." Naomasa nodded his head.

"That could be a possibility. I'll look into this further while you search for Izuku and tell you're officers that they are are not to shoot him." The dog nodded, but hesitantly. He would prefer his officers to shoot Izuku honestly.

As Naomasa was walking away, he pulled out his phone and texted his Smoker. 'He lied.' Naomasa thought, many people don't know this, but they think that he's quirkless. That's not true.

Naomasa does have a quirk, he just doesn't tell people about it. The only people that know are All Might, Nezu, Gran Torino, and Smoker. Naomasa quirk is called polygraph, basically making him a human lie detector and Naomasa just used it on the Chief. When using this quirk he can read people's blood pressure, heart rate, and psychological levels.

Shadow held his sword in his left hand and the gun in his right hand as he began to run into the steel mill. The gunmen on the roof, catwalks, and inside began open fire at Shadow as came in. The viewers were watching this, but there was only one drone and it was the Family's drone.

They watched as their brother began to take on all the guards all by himself and becoming a one man army, just like he was made to do.

Shadow ran and was immediately met with bullets from above, the weapon flashed to the catwalks above him. When he appeared he fired the pistol at the three guards on the catwalk, once he was done he flashed to the ground and swung his sword a guards gun. Shadow put the gun away for a second as he put his other hand on the sword and began to deliver some hurt.

Everyone saw Shadow destroy the guards with the blade, showing no mercy what so ever. Shadow cut a pistol in half and then drove the sword into the abdomen of the guard, he pulled it out and threw it like a dagger at another gunmen. He hit him in the side and flashed to the sword, he then kicked him to send him flying. Another guard appeared on his right and he dodged the blade strikes for he was wielding dual tomahawks.

Shadow saw the strikes coming again and blocked high with his blade. The strikes were coming in fast, but he was able to deflect them all. The teen parried the strikes and deliver the hilt of the blade into the gut of the giant man.

The large man fell, he was hunched over on his knees with his arms around his stomach giving Shadow the opportunity to finish him. Shadow jumped into the air with his foot over the man's head and stomped down. A loud thud was heard as Shadow brought the man's face down to the concrete with much force.

With the man down and done with Shadow began to make his way to the office of the Steel Mill, he ran into the main building where all the machines were and was met with more gunfire from more of Black Mask's goons.

Shadow using the stolen sword deflected the bullets as they were incoming. The goons were stupefied, their guns were no match for Shadow and they were getting picked off one by one as the teen neared the office.

Everyone watching saw deja vu as Shadow like in the club took everyone out and he did it with ease. Shadow defeated them all with massive blows to the face, legs, ribs, nose, arms, back. He sliced them up with his sword leaving some with cuts on their bodies, the ones with the cuts were the lucky ones. The others that received blows from the sword had lost some fingers and one lost a hand.

The people watching had mixed feelings about what they were seeing, some being the younger generation were cheering Izuku on for his brutality and display of skill. The older generation along with the pros were not liking this.

Yes, the boy skill was unlike anything that they've ever seen, but the way he was defeating these villains was…different. Izuku was not trying to defeat them because it was the right reason. To them it seemed like he wanted to hurt them… punish them… make them feel pain.

All Might watched with concerned eyes as he watched his pupil break another man's arm, basically shattering the bone and he didn't have to be a doctor to know that.

The arm told the whole story as it was bent sideways and looked beyond repair. All Might has gotten to know Izuku over years and this was not him. What he was seeing was something else and that worried him because he gave this person arguably the most powerful quirk on earth.

Tomura and the villains were no better they were watching with concern, this could be their future if they don't play it safe. Izuku has shown them for his battles at USJ and with Stain that he is not in the business of just arresting you. He wants to put you in the hospital. AFO watched this closely, the more he watched Izuku fight the more he saw his former student and son. Wesker fought just like that, with brutality, fear, and ferocity. Like a sadist.

AFO realized long ago that Tomura would need help in achieving his goal, but now he sees that he would need that creation more than ever. "Calculator," AFO called his old contact.

"Are you seeing this shit!?" Calculator screamed as he was like everyone else, he was watching Izuku's decimation of the Steel Mill goons. AFO ignored it and continued on with what he wanted.

"This boy is connected to Wesker somehow, I want you to find out more about him." The statement brought Calculator back down to earth.

"More. You've already looked into this kid already?"

"Yes, the results though... left me unsatisfied. Who… whatever this boy is, is meaningful too Wesker. Just look at him, look at how he fights. It's just like him." Calculator began to see what AFO was talking and swallowed a lump in his throat. One Wesker is bad enough already, but two will set the world on fire.

"Alright, I'll get started. When I get something I call you." AFO nodded his head to his old friend and went back to looking at his monitor with Izuku on it. The elder the villain watching and studying Izuki for more information, for more links, for any connection to Wekser's plan.

Shadow was in front of the office and behind him was the bodies that he had broken, all of the Black Mask's goons were lying on the ground some missing teeth, fingers, and one lost a hand. Shadow didn't care though, he gave them a warning to get out of the way and they didn't take it.

Now they paid the price with their bodies. The teen removed his sword from the shoulder of the goon next to him and with a swipe he got rid of the blood. Shadow sheathed the sword in the scabbard and then grabbed his gun and loaded another clip before entering the office.

Inside the office there were two guards, one on the right corner of the door and the other on the left side. The two were shaking in their boots for they knew what was outside, they heard all the noise and more importantly they heard the screams. Neither one dared to go outside, but now Shadow was coming and they were the last defense. They aimed their guns to the door when they heard it crack open, their fingers tight on the triggers and ready to open fire at a moments notice.

Both guards looked at each then back at the door, they held their breath when they heard footsteps and then the door blew open. The door blew off its hinges and the two guards popped out of their corner opening fire at the entrance, but shot nothing. They were caught by surprise when they felt pain in their backs. They fell to the ground in pain for they had been shot and the one who did it was none other than Shadow.

Shadow had gotten up from the door, the teen used himself as a battering ram. He knew that there were people inside so instead of opening the door and getting hit with gunfire, he decided to improvise.

He took off at full speed and when he came close to the door he turned so his back was facing it and broke through. When his back broke the hinges off the door he got a clear view of the guards and with his trained skill he fired his gun when they exposed themselves.

With the guards done with Shadow got up and took a look around the office. The office was standard nothing special about it at all and that what was bothering him right now. This was starting to feel easy.

Shadow's body began to glow and green lighting began to surround him, and in a blink of an eye he was gone. Everyone saw him disappear from view, they thought that he was gone, but when they would realize that was false when they saw a green streak zoom past the drone.

Everyone continuously saw a green blur past the drone, Shadow was zooming all around the office trying to find any clue that would lead to Black Mask. Dozens of papers were flying into the air as Shadow continued to search the room. When he stopped he was sitting in the chair, his gun on the desk, and his index tapping it annoyingly. Shadow was frustrated, he couldn't find anything. There was nothing!

'This is impossible! Penguin's ledger stated that Black Mask used this place as a hideout and yet there's nothing here. No drugs, no guns, no evidence to tell me where the bastard is. Nothing!' Shadow thought angrily, he was starting to get frustrated, but he calmed himself down. He took deep breaths and began to think. There had to be more to this place, he just has to think. The teen widened his eyes when the thought came to him, he was foolish for not thinking of it in the first place.

Shadow looked to the drone's camera where everyone could see him basically staring at them. "Villain Psychology 101: What do all criminals have in common?" Shadow asked aloud as if he was expecting an answer.

Shadow grabbed his gun, he got up and walked out of the office, he was heading to the garage where the trucks come to deliver the product. Shadow was on the catwalk as he looked down, the bodies that he beat were still there. He jumped down and landed on the ground, then stared at the large open door where the trucks would come in.

"There are many answers to the questions, but I tend to stick with the big three." Shadow spoke again as he looked at the ground, he was staring at the tire marks. He activated his eagle pulse and began to see that there were more, they were just hidden because of the dirt. No doubt to throw off pursers.

Shadow followed the tracks to a wall on the left, the tracks seem to stop there. "One is ego, all villains have an ego. They feel the need to not just beat their enemy, but also prove that they're superior to them in every way." Shadow walked to the brick wall and put his hands all along the bricks, his fingers grazing the bricks.

"The second is power. Power is what they desire, it's what they dream of. Once they get a taste of it, they want more and more of it. Power is the drug that all villains need and it will ultimately lead to their downfall." Shadow spoke again as he hands began to put pressure on the bricks, when he found the right one he felt the brick be pushed in.

"And the third one is…" Shadow pushed the brick all the way back and he heard a loud noise coming from behind. He soon saw the brick wall rise and reveal hidden area with an elevator inside.

"Is a lair. Some reason they all need to have a secret lair." Shadow turned around to face the drone with a smirk on his face. "And that kids are three things all villains share." Everyone was baffled, not only did the kid find some secret lair, but he also gave a lesson on what villains and from the looks of it he was right.

Shadow headed into the lair where an elevator resided, as he was walking he saw a body on the ground. The body was a man in all black suit and he was wearing a black mask on his head. Shadow recognized this man as one of Black Mask's gangsters, but why would he be here. Shadow went over to him and checked his pulse, there was none. This man was dead and he seemed to be dead long before Shadow got here.

Shadow pulled his mask off to see that man's face, he saw that he whatever killed him, it wasn't pleasant. His eyes were open, his mouth was dry, there were scratches all along his face, as if he was trying to get something off of him. The most noticing thing was the black veins on his neck, this was man was poisoned. Shadow looked stoically at the man and put his head back down, there was nothing that he could do for him. Shadow grabbed his gun and emptied his clip, he loaded another and aimed up to fire.

The bullets went in the air and hit the ceiling, bring dust down. He hit nothing, but that didn't make him drop his guard. "There's someone here." Shadow said, everyone heard knew that meant only one thing. The next assassin had arrived, but who?

Shadow knew he wasn't alone, but that didn't stop him from heading into the lift. If there was a chance to get Black Mask then he'd take any risk. Shadow entered the lift and pressed the down button, the lift began to make a loud noise and begun to send Shadow down. As the lift brought the teen down to the lower levels Shadow scanned the area, keeping a lookout for the next assassin.

When the lift came to a stop he got out and walked forward, as he was walking he heard a noise from above. He fired his gun at the pipes above him, but they hit nothing. He saw nothing, but before he left he took one more look at the pipes.

'Their is someone up there.' Shadow thought as he kept walking to the door his eyes never truly leaving the pipes. Unknown to him their was someone right above him and it was Copperhead. Copperhead had snuck into the steel mill and silently followed her target like the snake she was.

Copperhead climbed above the pipes, the movement was silent as she traversed the pipes. She saw the air vent that would lead to the next room and with her incredible flexibility she was able to squeeze through the small vent and make her way to Shadow. When she gets there she will wait for the right moment and then she will strike him with her fangs. Just like all her other preys.

"Guys, let's talk about this." Shadow spoke to the 30 armed gangsters who guns were pointed right at him. When Shadow opened the door he entered a room that seemed to be a drug lab for there were tons of chemicals, drugs, and a processing unit. The gangsters saw him and quickly surrounded him, at this Shadow just sighed and decided to take another route than just fighting.

"Like, let's really talk about this. Look I know most of you are just trying to do a job and I get that, but let's face facts. None of you are going to stop me. I mean I beaten two assassins, took probably hundreds of you guys in the last…let's say 27 hours. They've shot at me with guns, tried to stab me, set me on fire, punch, kick, etcetera. Look, what I'm trying to say is to leave this place and go somewhere far, far, away. Never returned to a life a crime and I won't put anyone of you in the hospital with everyone else. Deal?" All the goons and everyone watching heard Izuku make the threat, all waited to see what the thugs would do.

Shadow saw one on the far left shiver, he could tell that he was afraid. That the mean't that his negotiating tactic worked, maybe they would all just leave. "Fuck you!" And there it was. Shadow sighed and put his head down.

'Let it be known that I tried to the peaceful way. Now it's time for the Shadow way.' After that thought bullets began to spray and Shadow jumped into the air, while in the air he reached in the utility belt and grabbed smoke bombs. Shadow threw them to the ground to provide blind the enemy sight, he then flashed to ground and got to work.

Everyone watching saw bodies fly...like they literally saw them fly. Bodies were hitting the walls, tables, and everything in the drug lab as Shadow sent them flying. As the smoke dispersed everyone could that Shadow was fighting ten of them still and still many surprise he was holding his own.

Shadow ducked under a punch and shot him in the knee, the man screamed in pain as Shadow looked behind and him to see another goon about to fire. Shadow threw the gun at his face, hitting the man in the face and then picked up the already injured and charged forward at the three guards in front of him.

"Shoot him!" One gangster ordered, but the two hesitated as they didn't want to shoot their fellow member.

"But,"

"DO IT!" The man ordered again and this time the two listened as they opened fire at their comrade, it didn't matter to them that their friend was taking the shot and not Izuku.

Shadow used the man's body as a shield as he continued to charge forward, Shadow then with the man in his hand turned and spun. He threw threw the man into the three guards like bowling ball and like pins the guards were knocked down. "Five down, five to go." Shadow said aloud as he turned to face the last five.

Shadow saw one do cartwheel flips to reach him and when she got closer she did an axe kick that Shadow was going to block till he saw the shimmer of light coming from her tips of the shoes, there was a blade there.

Shadow moved to the sighed and dodged the blade, the gangster landed on her feet and swung at Shadow head. The blade now coming from the back of the boot and again Shadow dodged it, but this time he caught her foot. The woman's foot was in his hands and wasn't letting go as he swung her into a wall.

"Four left." Shadow looked at the four to see that the next one step up and he was a big one. By the looks of it this dude had to be 6'5 and was cock diesel for muscles were growing on his ears. The big one charged at Shadow and the teen got ready for impact, the large gangster tackled Shadow and speared him into the wall.

Shadow felt the impact of the spear, but got ready for it wasn't over yet. The large one punched Shadow in the gut sending further into the wall, he did it again, and again, and again. Shadow right now was taking a beating and he was letting it happen, for he was waiting for the right moment to strike.

The large stepped back to get a running stance, he was going to spartan kick Shadow through the whole wall. Shadow was climbing out of the wall when saw the man coming, he smiled. The opportunity had come. As the man got closer Shadow got ready, he was going to have to time this right.

The large man lifted his left leg and threw it into Shadow gut, but he missed as the teen slid down making the large man get his foot stuck. With the foot stuck Shadow went on the attack, he first kneed the man in the groin making squeal and he then brought his elbow down on his left knee. Thus shattering the man leg and bring the big man down. Now there were two.

"Alright, who's next?" Shadow asked as the last two had machine guns in their hands, Shadow thought that they were going to try something, but was surprised when they but their guns down.

"We don't even like these guys. We out." One of the two said and they both left they way came with their tails in between legs.

"Good choice." Shadow offered as he went to go pick up his gun and went took look around the drug room. The teen whistled at all the drugs and chemicals that they were using. It wasn't just coke cain, it was heroine, pills, and even the new drug that's been hitting the streets called KIK. Shadow picked up the inhaler, he read about this drug online.

KIK is a drug made specifically for quirk users, the drug increases the power of one's quirk, endurance of the quirk user, and effects of the quirk. But leaves dangerous side effects. One of the effects being loss of memory and the other is the loss of power. The drug is dangerous…too dangerous, authorities have been cracking down on it, but looks like they haven't done a good enough job it.

"Lot of stuff in here that can go boom." Shadow said as he looked at all the tables, he knew what he was going to do and so did everyone else. And for once the pros can't get mad at him, this was a large drug facility and it needs to go. '

As Shadow was getting ready to destroy the facility, he heard a noise coming from one of the rooms. Shadow turned around and grabbed his gun, he fired his eagle pulse too and found someone hanging in the air. Shadow slowly walk to the room because he knew that the assassin was here as well.

Once Shadow reached the room he slowly, but cautiously opened the door. When he got in he quickly checked his corners like trained soldier in the army, once that was done he would turn his head to see the man hanging like a piece of meat.

Shadow walked to the man and checked on him, unlike the last one he saw in the hidden entrance this man was alive. There were no black markings on his veins, but he was badly beaten and bloody.

Shadow got a good look at him and he knew why he looked familiar to him, this man was a journalist that was writing about Black Mask. It was said that he disappeared, but turns out that he's alive and was just being tortured.

"H-Hel-...Help….me." The journalist whispered tiredly, Shadow could tell that he had been without water for a couple of days, maybe even more. Shadow needed to be quick though, he could tell that this man didn't have much time left.

"Black Mask, he did this, didn't he." The man somehow managed to nod his head, but the Shadow was not done. "Where's he? I need to know where he is?" Shadow pressed the for answer, completely ignoring the fact that the man was dying.

"He's….He's...He's…"The man didn't finish as he fell into unconsciousness, his body was too badly hurt to give anymore answers to Shadow. The teen checked his pulse and sighed, he was dead.

"Damn." Shadow cursed as he released the man from his bonds, he didn't deserve to die like this, hanging like a piece of meat. Shadow grabbed the man before he could fall to the ground and was going to carry him out, he would lay his body near the entrance and get back to the hunt. Unknown to the teen though, a snake was about to strike.

Copperhead was on the pipes above the ceiling, moving from pipe to pipe with deafening silence. Not a sound was made as she twirled her body and slithered to her prey, her green silted eyes on Izuku as she was about to strike.

Before Shadow hoisted the dead man on his shoulders, he felt something or someone near. The hair on his neck stood up at attention and once Shadow looked up he saw his predator. Copperhead had jumped down before Izuku could get the gun out, the assassin made him drop and she then wrapped her legs around his body like a snake trying to prevent its prey from escaping.

Shadow cursed at himself for not being able to see that Copperhead was above him and now he was trapped looking at the snake woman who was licking her lips. Her lime green eyes gleaming with anticipation as she held the legendary Baba Yaga in her arms.

"Mmmm... It's a shame I have to kill you. You're quite the looker and I like that, very much." Copperhead's voice sounded snake like and sexy to some, but the Shadow was not worried about none of that.

"Sorry, you're not my type." Shadow told her as he broke the hold, but Copperhead was able counter that as she moved her body quickly. She had held shadow arm and her leg was wrapped around his neck, strangling him. Everyone was amazed by the flexibility of this assassin, for not many women included could pull of her position.

"Ohhh, I like it when they struggle. It makes it killing you a whole lot more fun." Shadow was starting to get irritated with this women. Using his strength he got his left arm free and moved to attack Copperhead with it, but again the snake woman stopped him when crawl down his body. She wrapped both her legs around his head and spun, Copperhead sent him flying across the room and crashing into the wall.

Shadow bounced off the wall like a ball, when he landed on the ground he shook his head, he had to focus. This was not Deathstroke, this was not going to be some fight on pure skill. Copperhead is much quicker, faster, flexible, and he needed to quicker than her. Shadow got up from the ground and saw Copperhead coming at him, she throw punch which Shadow caught with his own hand.

Shadow didn't hesitate to bring his elbow up to break her arm, a sickening sound was made as Copperhead screamed in pain. Shadow let go of her hand and the woman moved back up a couple feet, the screaming was soon stopped as she began to laugh. Shadow was caught off guard as she jerked her arm and put the bone back in place like it was nothing. The sound was sickening as it made many viewers close their mouth for vomit was about to come.

'Guess, the snake look is not for show. She was able to put her arm back in place like it was nothing, breaking her bones will not be easy if she can repair them and put them back in place.' Shadow concluded as Copperhead came to strike him again, this time he would be prepared.

Copper threw a judo kick at the teen which he caught, but the snake was not done as she used her planted leg and swung it at Shadow's face. The kick sent Shadow to the side and blood was dripping from his mouth, he couldn't believe it. Copperhead licked her lips as she saw the blood be wiped by Shadow, the teen was getting pissed now.

Shadow didn't wait this time and went on the attack, Copperhead with her quickness and limberness was able to dodge all Shadow attacks. Shadow threw a straight punch and the woman ducked underneath and moved to his face. Straight green eyes met green silted eyes as they both were looking each other in the eyes. Copperhead made the first move and struck Shadow with nail before he could flash away when he reappeared he kicked her.

Copperhead took the kick knowing she accomplished what she wanted, when she turned she saw Shadow's unscathed face now have her mark on his left cheek. She licked her lips and a smile appeared on her face, when Shadow saw it he became confused until it him...literally. A wave of pain hit him and he collapsed to his knees.

"Wh-What...did you do to me?" Shadow struggle to say and everyone widened their eyes as the saw the boy shiver. Copperhead laughed as Shadow struggle to get up, it was too late for him now.

"Just wait and see." Copperhead said as she jumped into the pipes above and slithered away. Shadow rushed to his gun and shot at her, but she was long gone. She was gone, hiding in the Steel Mill and hunting him. Shadow coughed aloud as she felt his body be hit more pain.

"Poison." Shadow deducted, but there was something wrong. His healing quirk made him immune to all sickness, diseases, and poisons. Hell, he never even got the common cold. So how the hell is feeling all this?

With Trinity

"I thought Shadow was immune to all poisons and diseases." Killer Frost said as she and the rest go the agents were watching Shadow to get to the drug facility, it seemed just walking was taking all his efforts. His face was sweaty and he was breathing hard, it didn't take a genius to know that he was having a fever over 100.

"Mmmm...yes and no. Self Heal does give Shadow the immunity to all poisons, but there it depends on the poison. Self Heal does not just heal Shadow, but increases the amount of white blood cells in his body. The white ones are shield against foreign disease. Usually he should have enough, but it seems whatever Copperhead concocted is fighting against his army of cells. The poison is spreading faster through his body, faster than even the cells can fight." Wesker told her as he kept a keen eye on Shadow, the camera zoomed in on him and he could see that black veins starting to appear.

"So...what you're saying is that he needs a cure quickly and if he doesn't get one then...Copperhead will have successfully killed him."

"Indeed." Wesker told her as everyone looked back at the monitor, Wesker though had lost his smile. He now looked interested, if Shadow dies it will affect his plan greatly. But he knew that wouldn't happen. His son will prevail because he is Shadow and he does not know defeat. But if not, there is always plan B.

With Shadow

Shadow was feeling terrible, it didn't look good for him as he was leaning on the wall out the facility. His body was hurting, it was screaming in pain with every step he took and he didn't know if he had the strength to make it out this damn steel mill. He saw his veins turn black on his arm, the poison was spreading faster and faster.

"Breath." Shadow told himself as he took deep breaths in, he needed to gather his strength. He would not die here. Shadow mustered all the strength he had and got up from the wall, the pain hit him like lighting as he grabbed his stomach. Even with the pain he continued to walk albeit barely, he was sluggish and his vision was becoming blurred.

'Focus, focus damnit!' Shadow continued to walk to the service lift, when he got there he pressed the button and collapsed on the ground. The teen coughed up the blood as the lift began to move up, Shadow crawled himself to the wall and turned around to lean on it. His vision began to darken and his eyes began too close, the teen shook his head. He had to stay awake.

"Sleep honey." Shadow widen his eyes when heard the voice, he knew that anywhere, but it shouldn't be possible. "Close your eyes and sleep." The voice came again and this time Shadow said the person's name.

"M-Mom." Shadow said tiredly, the voice that was calling out to him was none other than his first mother, Inko. Shadow looked to his left and saw his deceased his mother standing there in the same clothes that she died with on and with a sad smile. His eyes were like saucers, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, this couldn't be real. This shouldn't be real.

"No…no, you're dead. I saw you die." Shadow said defiantly, he knew that this was an effect of the poison. It was making him hallucinate and see visions of his past. Shadow shook his head as he climbed up to stand, sweat pouring down from his brow from the intense pain.

"Just close your eyes honey and then we can be together. All of us can be together. Me, you, your father, and Holiday." Inko tempted him as she got closer, Shadow did something that he thought he would never do. He aimed his gun at her.

"You. Are. Not. Real!" Shadow pulled the trigger and shot his gun at the woman who birthed him. When the bullet hit the hallucination it disappeared leaving Shadow alone in the lift, the teen trigger hand's shivering after the act he just committed. A feeling that he's never had before. Soon the lift came to stop and the gated doors opened, Shadow quickly got out and went to the hidden entrance that he came in from.

As he was walking he saw a woman in a lab coat bleeding on the ground, this made him pause. He knew this woman, this had to be another hallucination. He was certain of that, but the words said next gave him a chill. "You failed me, Shadow. You let me die." Shadow stopped, he dared not look back.

"I'm sorry, mother." The words left his mouth with such sincerity and emotion that you could feel that it was killing him on the inside, but just like with the Inko hallucination he aimed his gun and pulled the trigger. Shadow didn't need to look back to know that he'd hit his mark, he just kept walking. When he got out the hidden entrance he widened his eyes in horror at what was in front of him.

The room was covered in blood and there were bodies everywhere, all dead and all recognizable. All the bodies were people that he knew, people that he called friends, people that he cherished. Bodies of All Might, Nezu, his mothers, Rouge, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Gambit, all his brothers and sisters. It wasn't just them as well it was his classmates. Katsuki, Momo, Shoto, Tenya, Toru, Mina, Minoru, and Ochako. All them laid dead across the floor, the bodies beaten and bloody.

"Deku," Shadow heard Ochako's weak voice and went to her, he held her in his arms as blood was dripping down her mouth. Her costume covered in the color red, the color of her blood. "Wh-Why?" Was that Ocahko could say before loud gunshot came and killed her. Shadow saw her eyes roll back as a bullet hole was on her forehead. The horrified teen looked back saw the culprit, he widened his in horror as he saw the shooter.

The man that killed his friends, his family, his…his Ochako was there wearing an outfit similar to him, but the difference is that his was red and black. There was a mask that covered his mouth, his eyes were red, and his hair red with black highlights. Shadow moved to grabbed his gun, but the man shot his hand.

"Arrggh!" Shadow screamed in pain as his hand was dripping with blood. The teen looked back at the shooter to see him at his face, the man grabbed Shadow by his throat and pulled him up into the air. "Wh-Who...are ...you?" Shadow was struggling to breath, but he was able to ask that question.

The shooter heard the question and decided to answer him by taking off his mask. Shadow saw the murder remove his mask and he face became one of horror as the person he was looking at was none other than...himself.

"I'm you. I'm the real Shadow." Shadow told the Izuku and before he could speak he felt both hands of Shadow on him. Shadow began to strangle him and there was nothing that Izuku as his life began to taken away.

"And I'm taking control now." Shadow said as he snapped Izuku's neck and a white flash appeared. When Shadow opened his eyes he saw that he was being dragged by Copperhead, they were leaving the hidden entrance and in the steel mill main operations.

Shadow played dead letting copperhead believe that she had the upper hand. "Black Mask you better have my money. The kid's dead, looks like my poison finished him off quicker than I thought." Copperhead spoke to the drone as Shadow laid on the ground with foam in his mouth. The snake women had found him half dead in the elevator and took him there, he was unmoving and she knew her poison was finishing him off.

"Maybe I should keep you, Black Mask never said he wanted your body and I could think of many interesting things to do with it." Copperhead spoke to Shadow as she kneeled down to touch his face, but that was a mistake as his eyes snapped open. He grabbed her arm in a vicious and bone crushing grip, preventing her from escaping. He got up as Copperhead was beyond shock, no one has ever gotten up from her poison, but this child did.

Copperhead tried to remove her arm, but it wouldn't budge. She was trapped and when she got a look at his eyes she felt fear. His eyes had changed were no longer the same, for the first time the assassin felt fear.

"Dios mìo." Copperhead whispered as Shadow began to spin and taking her with him, the teen now looked like a tornado. Copperhead screamed as her arm felt like it was being torn off as the sheer speed of his spin. Sonic widened his eyes as he watched this, he knew that move. "

"That bastard, that's my tornado throw!" Sonic pointed out as the family could see that it was indeed Sonic's move, some of them being on the other end of that attack. Once Shadow felt like he gained enough speed, he simply let go of Copperhead's hand and she flew like a bullet from a rail gun. Copperhead crashed into the drone, destroying it and crashed through through the wall that sent her outside.

Everyone lost visual, but screwball made her other drones go to the steel mill. The drone that was destroyed was in the control of the Family and now they lost it. After a few moments everyone was able to see again and they widened their eyes. They saw Copperhead crawling on the ground, but that not what made their eyes so big. What made them so shocked was the fact that she had one arm, her left arm was gone.

The camera turned to the hole that was made and everyone saw a figure walking through the dust cloud. They knew who it was, but for some reason they got a bad feeling when they saw red glowing eyes through the cloud. Copperhead turned her head to look back at Shadow, horror all over her face as the teen was out of the steel mill.

Everyone could see that there was something wrong with the teen, for one innocent green eyes were now a dangerous blood red color and they looked like they had nothing but hatred in them. The second was his face, his face was purely stoic, almost as if he was emotionless machine. Many of them had seen this face before including the students and teachers, this was the face that Shadow had when he had fought Shoto and as terrifying as that was, this was much, much, more scary.

Shadow walked out of the hole his red eyes glaring at the downed assassin, in his right hand was her missing her left arm. The teen held it up to look at and then tossed it to the side like a piece of chopped liver. Shadow hands made fists and his rings began to glow, soon everyone saw a golden aura surround him and this aura began to get small. It began to circulate and go inside of him, when it was done Shadow released a breath of air and cracked his neck.

Copperhead tried to get up, but Shadow flashed to her side and stomped his foot down on her chest. Copperhead felt the impact and coughed up buckets of blood, no doubt ribs were broken and god knows what else.

"Where is he?" Shadow spoke coldly, his voice full with no emotion. It didn't even sound like him, it sounded like a cold machine.

"The poison...How?" Copper struggle to say as his foot was on her chest, his sneaker crushing her.

"I used my Chaos quirk to increase the power of my Self Heal, the power of Chaos allowed Self Heal to develop more white blood cells to fight back against your disease. Your poison was strong, but my body and mind was stronger. Now tell where he is?" Shadow asked again, but Copperhead was defiant.

Copperhead didn't answer him and Shadow decided to put more pressure on her chest, the snake women began to feel her rib cage break with each crack. The assassin bit her tongue to prevent herself from screaming out, but the pain was too much especially when Shadow began to use OFA.

All Might had widen his sunken eyes, his student was using his giving quirk as a method of torture. The Family unlike last time with Penguin had widen their eyes, this was the Shadow that was feared in Trinity and Wesker watched it all with a smile on his face. His son had returned.

Copperhead would eventually reach her breaking point and she screamed and it was the scream of pure pain agony. "Talk!" The hardness in his voice was nothing to joke about, this wasn't the same kid anymore.

"I-I-I'll...talk! I'll Talk! Just let go!" Copperhead begged, she couldn't take the pain anymore. But before Shadow released her, he gave her warning.

"If you lie, I will pop your head like a grape." Shadow warned her darkly and the assassin nodded. She took deep breaths to calm the pain in her body.

"Black Mask let the assassins use his place till the contract went live, he's been there since the start of all this." Copperhead told Shadow and narrowed his eyes, which made the assassin shiver with fear.

"Where is it?" Shadow ordered again, but before Copperhead could give him his answer, the teen felt intense heat behind him. Shadow jumped up into the air and saw a wave a flames come after him.

He saw the flames come straight for him and somehow they took the shape of a lion's head. The lion head went straight for Shadow and the teen flashed out of the way before he could get hit.

He appeared on the ground searching for the attacker, he knew it wasn't Copperhead. So that left only one assassin that could control fire. "Hey Shadow!" Shadow turned his red eyes to the direction of the voice and growled when he saw the man that tried to burn him alive.

"Pyro." Shadow growled, another agent of Trinity had arrived and this time he was not letting him escape.

The drone turned towards the direction and everyone saw the blonde haired individual wearing the orange costume, he had what seemed to be flame throwers on his forearms with tubes connecting to propane tank on his back.

"Hey, mate. Long time no see." The Australian accent was strong in the assassin as Shadow glared at him. Pyro looking at Shadow with a sick glee on his face.

"It's him." Killmonger said, everyone bar looked at him as they saw his eyes filled with anger.

"Who?" Toga asked.

"He's the one that did it. He's one that burned my village, leaving nothing but ash." Killmonger told them as the battle was about to commence.

"Pyro vs Shadow. An interesting fight this will be." Wekser said as he continued to take bites out his popcorn.

Narrator: Shadow has successfully defeated Copperhead, but what has been unleashed now thanks to her poison. What is this real Shadow and what is he going to do to Pyro? Pyro the rogue arsonist has now come face to face with his former comrade. An epic battle comes as Shadow and Pyro do battle. And only one of them is coming out Alive.

To be continued

Chapter 27: Shadow vs Pyro!

"Pyro made his presence felt. What do you want to do?" A female voice spoke the man at the edge of building watching the flames be shot in the air at the Steel Mill.

"I'll get the kid and deal with Pyro." Bullseye said with a smile as he watches the fight between the two agents. "You go the Black Mask's location and get ready."

"Got it. Ohhh...look at this, the little snow-flame has arrived." The woman said as she saw Shoto running into the battle. "Which means his father is not far beyond." The woman licked her lips when she thought about Shoto's father. Bullseye rolled his eyes and told her to focus.

"Keep your pants on, you'll get your chance with Endeavor later. Right now we're going to be helping the kid. Got it?"

"I understand. You just worry about not getting killed by Shadow when he's sees you." Bullseye laughed at the women.

"Don't worry Fire, I can handle the kid. Trust me, he won't be able to kill me so easily." Bullseye said as he watched Shadow dodge flame attacks from Pyro.
