Tenya burst into the hospital room that he was said to come into from his father, the speedster panted like he just ran a few miles even though the hospital wasn't even half a mile away.
"Brother!"
Tenya yelled as he ran to his brother Tensei who was hospitalized after a villain attack.
"Tenya..."
Tensei said weakly to Tenya, his eyes half open as he struggled to maintain consciousness.
"What happened?! T-tell me!"
Tenya cried out as his father spoke.
"Tenya, calm down.. He was attacked by a villain, apperantly he goes by the name Stain."
His father explained with quite a worried expression as well.
"Calm down?! Tensei could have died!"
Tenya retorted, angry with his father who seemed so calm.
"Hey... Tenya, bro, its okay... I'll be fine."
Tensei assured his younger brother.
"I know... I'm probably going to not be able to be a hero after this, my injuries are just that bad.. But hey, if that is the case you can take the name Ingenium and carry on my legacy."
Tensei calmly added.
"B-but..."
Tenya tried to speak but there was a lump in his throat, tears just cascaded down his cheeks as he got up and left the room.
He was both filled with sadness for his brother.. But also rage, he wanted to personally hunt down this villain known as Stain and kill him himself!
The next morning rolled around, it was another school day for the students at UA high and the other students at the other schools around Japan.
Izuku sat up as he awoke, looking over at Kurogiri and Tomura believe it or not.
Usually Tomura wasn't awake at this time so it was suprising.
"Good morning Tomura, Kurogiri."
Izuku said as he went to the counter and sat away from the antisocial Tomura.
"Good morning Midoriya."
Kurogiri said calmly as ever.
"So why is Tomura up?"
Izuku asked, looking up at the smokey man as he stood there idley.
"Master requested that i wake him up around this time, before you woke up we were talking about recruiting new members. We're still low on members after all."
Kurogiri explained and Izuku's eyes widened in interest.
"Yeah true, have you two thought of anyone yet? We need the strongest villains out there to make us even more formidable correct?"
Izuku asked with a innocent smile on his face.
"Yes Midoriya. We haven't thought of any yet and I've been trying to convince Tomura to do some research but he keeps objecting."
Kurogiri replied.
"How about i do some research Tomura? Would that be okay?"
Izuku kindly asked the male in all black.
"Do whatever... I don't care..."
Tomura grumbled, Izuku nodded and went to his room to do some research on villains.
"Wow.. This is the first time Tomura has let me into his room!"
Izuku thought as he sat in his seat, typing in a Google search on the most recent villain attacks.
He read up on several villains, several caught his eye but not more than Stain did.
He killed quite the number of pro heroes, and crippled some as well, more than any of the other villains displayed. His quirk was rather interesting as well, being called Bloodcurdle, apperantly it is able to paralyze people when their blood is digested, though there wasn't any other information on the quirk.
Izuku saw that he was in Hosu city. He wondered if he wanted to go there himself or find another way to contact him.
He decided to consult the league and see their opinions. He closed the tab on the computer and got out of Tomura's seat. He then headed out into the bar and saw the two standing and sitting in silence.
"So, i think i found someone interesting.. His name is Stain."
Izuku announced with a smile as he sat down.
"Is that so?"
Kurogiri asked Izuku who nodded yes.
"Yep! But he's in Hosu city and there isn't any other way to contact him but to meet him in person.."
Izuku slightly stressed.
"Hm.. I see, well shall i warp you there? There isn't any way we can contact him so this is the only way."
Kurogiri insisted and Izuku nodded yes once more, getting up and out of the chair he just sat in.
"You may need a phone to contact me just in case though, Tomura let him borrow yours."
Kurogiri then said, hoping Tomura would follow through wich he reluctantly did, giving Izuku his phone.
Izuku kindly thanked Tomura as a warm smile graced his lips.
Kurogiri summoned a warp gate and Izuku walked through, coming out on the other side wich was atop a building in Hosu city.
Izuku looked for a way down, finding a latter.
He scaled down the building and got to the bottom, hopping off of the latter and wandering around the unfamiliar city.
He had no clue as to where he should look, Hosu city wasn't a massive city but that didn't mean he couldn't get lost.
He walked for about an hour before hearing a gushing sound paired up from impained grunts and he went to check it out.
Stain was standing atop a hero, his sword plunged into his back as the hero killer decked out in weaponry had the hero on his stomach.
Stain glanced over once he heard the sound of footsteps approaching his direction.
He shot a cold, murderous glare towards the boy who came into full veiw, grabbing onto one of his throwing knives.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
Stain asked, yanking his sword out of the hero's back and swinging the sword to the side to get rid of the blood on the blade, effectivley cleaning it.
"M-my name is.. Izuku Midoriya and I'm a villain, part of the organization known as the league of villains."
Izuku somewhat timidly said, trying to choke down all the fear that he felt just being in this indivisual's presence.
"Go on..."
Stain insisted, not letting go of the throwing knife incase Izuku started attacking, the hero killer was definitley a lot smarter than he seemed.
"You see, we're sort of low on members and we were looking to see if y-you wanted to join!"
Izuku squeaked nervously, his hands out and not holding anything to try and ease Stain into dropping his gaurd so the chance of the current confrontation wouldn't shift into a more physical dispute.
"Well what is in it for me?"
Stain coldly asked, his stare deadpan as he looked into the boy's dark green and innocent seeming eyes, Izuku nervously looking into his, blood red eyes that feigned anything but innocence.
"We can further work out the details at the hideout, I'm not really in charge so i can't say exactly."
Izuku said, a noticible quiver in his voice as he spoke.
Stain had a skeptical look in his eyes as he still didn't fully trust Izuku.
Stain let out a small sigh as he turned around and stabbed the hero in the head, ultimately killing him right then and there.
"Fine, let's go."
Stain replied, keeping it short and simple.
Izuku softly smiled and pulled out the phone that he was borrowing, calling up Kurogiri who made a warp gate right away.
"Follow me."
Izuku calmly said as he walked through and exited out the other side, into the bar.
Tomura's gloomy look turned into a more impressed one as a satisfied smile grew on his face.
"Looks like he wants to join after all..."
Tomura stated, shifting in his seat to turn towards the hero killer.
Upon closer inspection, Stain seemed to have a distinct hunch as he stood there, messy black hair wich was pushed up by a blood red headband. Around his eyes and over where his nose would be was cream yellow bandages which went down his back, giving him a very ninja like appearence. There was also bandages wrapped around his arms, starting at the upper bicep and ending around the wrist area. His wrists had black cloth covering them, his left wrist having a watch on it. For bodily wear he was wearing a bullet proof vest, simular to Izuku's, he also had several throwing knives holstered on his ribs, two on each side while there was also another on his left shoulder. On his waist there was a belt and below that was black pants, his knees plated with armor. His boots were tipped with steel spikes, likley meant to draw blood from his opponents. And to top it all off was his blood red scarf which rested on his shoulders and dropped down onto his back, flowing alongside the excess bandages on his face. The main weapon he seemed to possess was his katana, very simular to Izuku's. Overall Stain actually had a simular loadout to Izuku, something that everybody noticed.
"So what are your reasonings for wanting me to be in your dumb cult?"
Stain asked, a bored look in his eyes.
"We simply picked you for your strength, well, Deku did..."
Tomura replied with a smirk on his face still.
"Is that seriously it? If so then I'm out of here..."
Stain said, waving a dismissive hand and attempting to leave but he was interrupted by Tomura who grabbed Stain's left shoulder with four of his five fingers.
"You're not going anywhere until you hear what we have to say!"
Tomura said, a look of malice but also desperation in his eyes as his smile grew bigger.
Stain grabbed one of his knives with his right hand and he shrugged his shoulder to get Tomura's hand off.
Stain then spun around and attempted to throw the knife but the path of the flying weapon was redirected due to Kurogiri's warp gate.
Stain ducked down to dodge the knife which came flying from behind him, it came flying towards Tomura once more.
Tomura let out a wince as the knife cut his cheek, narrowly dodging the knive's full destructive potential.
"How dare you bring me into this, Izuku Midoriya..."
Stain said, starting to rush towards Kurogiri, another knife out ready to cut him.
Izuku stood still, panicked and not really knowing what to do.
Stain jumped over the counter and slashed at Kurogiri, getting some of the blood from Kurogiri's mostly amorphous body.
He then licked the blood off of the knife and paralyzed Kurogiri, making the smokey man fall limp and unable to move.
Stain then glared over at Tomura and Izuku.
Izuku wanted to fight back but didn't know if he really standed a chance against someone with obviously way more skill than he ever possessed.
Stain once more leaped over the counter and pounced on Tomura, stabbing him in the shoulder and grabbing another knife to point at his throat.
"If i-i don't do.. Anything now.. They'll die!"
Izuku thought, letting out a yell as he entered fight mode, moving towards Stain at such a high speed that it could be considered inhuman.
Izuku pulled his katana out and pressed the blade against Stain's neck, threatening to slit his throat.
Izuku didn't like unnessacery violence but when someone threatened others close to him, so in this case, the league, he just felt the need to stop whatever was endangering them.
Izuku suprised even himself with the immense feat of speed that he had displayed, it seems as if his training was finally starting to pay off.
"The hell? A speed quirk?"
Stain thought, not thinking Izuku's speed could be so unnatural otherwise.
"Eh.. Whatever, he won't kill me, i doubt it..."
Stain thought, retaining his composure and beginning to monologue.
"You fools, if all you want is power, you'd be better off dead. No further creeds and convictions will leave weaklings like you in the dirt. The reason i kill isn't because of something as stupid as power but because i want to influence this hero society for the better. I want to purge all the fake heroes from this world, the ones who want money, power, popularity, or any other selfish desire. But i suppose i can make an exception for you villains since you fall into the power category, so without further ado..-"
Izuku listened to Stain's little speech.
"You know hero killer... We're simular in a way, both of us want to change society for the better..."
Izuku started with a small smile on his face.
"You see, i was born quirkless and tormented because of it, i wanted to be a hero but everyone discouraged me... One day, i met All Might and even he discouraged me from becoming a hero... Is that what heroes are supposed to do? Discourage people from being what they want to be, regaurdless if they have a disability or not? I just want to change society's outlook on quirkless people, and show that they too can fight and so that is why i am setting out to kill everyone who has wronged me... You may not agree with everything but hey, at least i have convictions right? Plus, the league are the only people who accepted me for who i am and not my physical prowess, so maybe don't assume everything based on what it seems..."
Izuku monologued, pulling the blade of his sword off of Stain's neck. Stain was about to get up and off of tomura but Tomura started speaking as he grabbed onto one of Stain's blades, disintegrating it.
Stain backed off to avoid suffering the same fate as his blade.
"Heh.. I guess we all have something in common then, huh hero killer? We all want to destroy hero society, watch it burn into the fucking ground!"
He said, slowly getting up onto his feet.
"Hm.. While i don't fully agree with your motives, like Midoriya said. I have to admit that you do have convictions nonethless, even though i don't fully agree with them. So I'll spare you all and i won't dispose of the league as i am curious to see where your convictions lead you into the future. I may join if you manage to impress me..."
Stain said.
"Now may i go back to Hosu? I've got some unfinished buisness."
Stain then asked as Kurogiri got back up, freed from his prior paralysis.
Kurogiri nodded and opened a warp gate for Stain to walk through, wich he did, arriving in Hosu city to kill more of the heroes he deems as fakes.
"I want to go with him... To prove myself."
Tomura insisted.
"Though i may need some more assistance."
He added with a smirk.
"Deku, you're coming too, lets also bring some nomu's to cause some chaos."
Tomura said and Izuku nervously nodded, pulling his sword out.
Meanwhile with Tenya
Tenya was on his internship with Manual, walking around Hosu on patrol, it had been a few days since he's seen his brother Tensei in the hospital.
They mostly made small talk, Manual asking mostly about how it felt to fight in the sports festival.
Tenya didn't seem very enthusiastic to talk about that though as his mind was completley set on Stain at the moment.
"Your mind is set on Stain isn't it?"
Manual asked softly as he walked beside Tenya, the normal hero being quite observant.
"Is that the only reason you are interning with me? Because it doesn't seem that you are interested in anything else, you shouldn't hold a grudge. It's bad for your mental health."
He speculated and then gave the speedster some advice.
"Sorry if that didn't help, or if it made something worse for you, I'm just worried."
Manual then apologized.
"No no, its okay, I'm sure that without your advice I'd be dead by now."
Tenya said, appreciating the hero's genuine kindness while not being so genuine himself. He didn't know what else he would do with his emotions, its not like he can just throw them away and forget, his brother nearly died for christ sake!
Izuku, Tomura and a few nomus stepped out of Kurogiri's warp gate, standing behind Stain who looked down at Hosu city.
"So why are you guys here? To prove yourselves?"
Stain asked with a bit of curiosity.
"Yes.. We're here to do what you came to do, change this city and the heroes, but in our own way."
Tomura answered as the warp gate closed up.
"Do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't get in the way of what i came to do..."
Stain said, getting ready to jump off the building and go finish what he started.
"Actually, i want to come with!"
Izuku said with a look of determination and commitment in his rounded eyes.
Stain looked over his shoulder to see the green haired boy, wondering why he was siding with him all of a sudden.
"Why? Don't you want to cause havoc with handjob back there?"
Stain asked Izuku, Tomura looked a bit irritated when Stain called him handjob, referring to the disembodied hand on his face and the several other hands on his body.
"Yeah, Deku, what the hell is your problem? Why are you siding with him?"
Tomura then asked, frustrated with Izuku as well.
Izuku smiled softly and walked over to Tomura, a calm look on his face.
Izuku leaned over and whispered in Tomura's ear.
"I'm simply going with him to see how he fights, so i can teach myself a thing or two about combat since I'm still quite the hindrance."
Izuku said, Tomura nodding as his plan sounded quite good since Stain was quite the pro when it came to weilding weapons, even his arsenal was simular to Izuku's.
"What are you two whispering about?"
Stain asked Izuku mainly.
"What good would it do you if we told you what we were saying?"
Tomura asked, being quite the smartass at times and now was no exception.
"..."
Stain stood there in silence, not saying anything to either of them for a few moments.
"Lets just go Midoriya."
Stain said as he jumped down, landing and then waiting for Izuku, he knew that Izuku was weaker thsn him, being quirkless and also not very experienced in combat seemingly so if he tried pulling anything off, he'd just kill him right then and there.
Izuku looked down at the high height, it reminded him of the time he wanted to commit suicide almost a whole year ago.
Izuku let out a small sigh as he leapt off the building and landed on his feet, the shock went through his body and caused some intense pain but no major damage.
Izuku let out a small yelp as he started limping beside Stain.
"H-how did that jump not hurt you?"
Izuku asked Stain weakly as he limped.
"I've just been through a lot, lets say that. And because I've been through so much I've learned to endure pain better than most people."
Stain explained to the teen.
"So, why are you coming with me anyways? You didn't answer my question earlier."
Stain then asked, glancing down at the boy.
"Well.. You see, i found your ideology very interesting and i wanted to learn more! I'm a bit of a nerd in that regaurd..."
Izuku timidly said as Stain's ideology was rather unique and did peak Izuku's interest, though he primarily came to learn how to fight and hid his main priority and only revealed his secondary priority.
"Hm... I see."
Stain simply said as the two were walking around in an alleyway wich lead down more alleyways.
"Well you see, i just want to rid this world of its fakes, the heroes who only do what they do for the money and fame. Heroes, like All Might are true heroes and only they shall earn my mercy and respect. I tried telling everyone my beliefs but they just treated me like a crazy person and ignored me... That is why i became who i am today, to stain my hands of the blood from those frauds..."
Stain explained, looking around.
"Hm... I guess we're more simular than just wanting to change the world then huh? We were both thought of as crazy for our respective goals and shoved aside because of it..."
Izuku said, a more trustful smile plastered on his face.
"True, but the fact that you dispise All Might is something that sets us apart..."
Stain said.
"Well i didn't always hate All Might... At one point i was like you are now, well, kinda.. I thought of him as a hero, my hero, someone who motivated me to do my very best and be a great hero! But like i said back at the bar, he told me the complete opposite just because i said i was quirkless... And here i am..."
Izuku said, looking down.
"There is no such thing as a perfect hero, sure, All Might may be great for what he seems, but he believes what everybody else believes... That power is everything and that determines where you go in life, how much options you have for success, how people look at you... So on and so fourth... Society is very god damn cruel, i knew that from a very young age... And i want to change it but also for a more selfish reason, because i want to take my anger out on the world for wronging me, i want to make everyone suffer the consequences of their horrible actions towards me, only then i will be satisfied."
Stain listed as Izuku monologued, not agreeing with every point that he made but still, he knew where he was coming from and understood his motives completley now that they were able to have a calm debate about society, how it works and their respective ideals.
"Hm... You're quite interesting, how about you work with me for a week or two, i want to see your methods of changing society, even if i don't agree with everything you believe."
Stain offered calmly as he walked.
"O-okay! Um.. In turn can you teach me how to fight? I want to get better and I'm not super experienced but you seem to be."
Izuku said, revealing his main motive of wanting to go with Stain, though he got more than he could ask for, instead of just learning how to fight by analyzing his style, he was going to be personally tought, well so he hoped.
Stain let out a small sigh before nodding yes to his offer.
"That will be fine, but just know this, training will not be easy."
Stain said with a cruel smile growing on his face.
The two walked in silence for a while before finding a hero, the one Stain had hoped to find and kill.
"Midoriya, that is Native, one of the heroes I'm setting out to kill, sit back and watch what i do, and learn from what you see."
Stain whispered, Izuku nodded, apperantly there were some more visual based lessons after all.
Stain rushed out from the darkness that they were hiding in, Stain blitzed towards Native with his chipped and worn down sword out ready to stab the unsuspecting hero.
Izuku watched in amazement as he saw how fast Stain moved.
Native's eyes widened as he saw the hero killer coming straight at him. He was about to defend but Stain ran right past the hero, a cut appearing on Native's side.
Blood came from the open wound and Native let out an impained grunt, then raising his hand up weakly to try and use his quirk called Nature Spirit.
Several eagles made out of golden energy started flying towards Stain to try and ward him off but Native felt his body get paralyzed and he fell to the ground, his eagles dissapearing and leaving the hero defenseless.
Stain had his tongue on part of the sword that got covered in Native's blood.
Stain then ran up, grabbing Native's face and driving the back of his head into a wall.
"Foolish fake, how do you even call yourself a hero? All you fight for is fame and recognition, a real hero wouldn't fight for that at all, so di-"
Before Stain could finish speaking he was interrupted by someone in white armor who seemed to have engines for legs.
It was Tenya, sneaking away from Manual to go hunt for Stain as Manual got busy with something else, the several nomus that were causing havoc throughout Hosu city, he was using his quirk to put out some fires, using the water from a fire hydrant to exterminate the flames.
Tenya let out an angered yell, giving away his presence completley.
Stain glanced over at the speeder and he swung his sword out of reflex, knocking his helmet off and revealing his face, his eyes showed off the fact that he wanted revenge.
Stain had an irritated look on his face as he looked down at Tenya.
"Get lost, this doesn't concern you."
Stain advised Tenya who's face contorted into something that expressed even more rage than he's ever felt in his entire life.
"Yes it does!! You injured my brother and i have come to avenge him! His name is Ingenium!!!"
Tenya yelled angirly as he got back up, ready to take Stain on.
"No kid, please... Leave, you'll get killed."
Native weakly advised as Tenya ignored him, going for an engine powered kick.
Stain jumped to avoid the kick and countered with one of his own, the spikes on the front of his boot digging into Tenya's flesh and making him yell in pain.
"You're looking for revenge... Aren't you?"
Stain questioned, a look of murderous intent in his eyes.
"That isn't very heroic, i guess it runs in the family then huh? You're just a family full of fakes."
Stain mocked Tenya, plunging his sword into Tenya's shoulder which elicited a blood curdling and angry scream from the hero in training.
Stain then pulled the sword out of Tenya's shoulder and licked it with his elongated, bumpy tongue.
Tenya felt his body was unable to move, he tried everything in his power to move but nothing happened, he just layed there, hopelessly.
"I guess this is where you die..."
Stain said, a smirk growing on his face as he got ready to finish Tenya off but was met with a stream of fire headed his way.
Stain had a look of suprise grow on his face as he saw the stream of fire coming his way. He jumped into the air and successfully avoided the fireball.
"Who are you? And why are you here?!"
Stain questioned loudly as he stepped in front of his opponent, he had red and white hair, a scar on the left side of his face and multicolored eyes.
"My name is Shoto Todoroki, i came looking for Iida when the chaos with the nomus occured, assuming he came to look for you so now, with my power, i will stop you and save Iida!"
Shoto said with a feirce look in his eyes.
A few days ago at UA.
"All Might, I've made up my decision on if i want your power or not..."
Shoto said calmly as he was in the teachers lounge with All Might, figuring he'd be there.
"All right, what is it?"
All Might asked, his interest peaking as he heard the boy had made up his mind.
The End
Author's note: So i hope you enjoyed this chapter! I enjoyed making it for sure, i know i left you guys off with a little cliffhanger in Shoto arriving to save Tenya but i didn't want the chapter to be too long. Plus i just found the cliffhanger appropriate and i hope you guys feel the same. I also thought it was intresting to have Izuku in this story sort of paralell with the one in canon by getting a mentor in Stain, like how he got Gran Torino in the canon. It was also fun writing Izuku and Stain's little conversation about their ideals and motives and how that lead to Stain taking Izuku under his wing. You all may also be wondering why i changed the rating to Mature, well it's because i didn't want to have to restrain myself from writing what i wanted to since there will be some darker, more 18 topics in the story later on. Maybe even a sex scene, who knows? The possibilities are endless with the rating being Mature. For now i think that is all i have to say about this chapter and the changes of the overall story, i hope you have a good day.
