"So what is your decision? Do you want my power or not?"

All Might calmly asked Shoto as he sat in a chair by a table with his hands folded.

"I'll take it."

Shoto answered, being rather straightforward with his answer.

All Might nodded and stood up, walking to Shoto.

"I am assuming you work on your body on a usual basis and your body is already a good vessel for the quirk, so I'll give it to you now."

All Might said calmly as he plucked off one of his hairs and held it out to Shoto.

Shoto tilted his head in a slight sense of confusion, not knowing what to do with the hair All Might was handing him.

"Um.. All Might, what am i supposed to do with that?"

Shoto asked and All Might started rubbing the back of his head awkwardly.

"Well you see, to properly inherit my quirk you will have to consume some of my DNA."

All Might explained to Shoto who grabbed the hair and put it in his mouth without further questioning, even though the idea was rather unorthodox to him.

He swallowes but his confused expression didn't leave, this time wondering why he didn't feel anything different.

"You'll start to notice more changes once your body completely processes my hair."

All Might said, knowing why Shoto's expression remained confused.

Shoto's confused expression faded away as his face went to a more so blank and emotionless one.

"Internships are coming up quite soon, so i heard from the words of Aizawa."

All Might said, changing the subject.

"Yes, they are. I don't want to do one with my father, but i don't know who else to intern with..."

Shoto said, looking somewhat sad.

"Well i was going to get to that, you see, someone trained me when i was about your age. His name is Gran Torino, I'll take you to him so you could meet the guy and see if you like him or not."

All Might said, slightly trembling at the thought of his mentor.

"Alright, that sounds good. Are we going to him now?"

Shoto then asked, noticing All Might's trembling but not bringing it up as he didn't want to bring up any horrible thoughts that he might have.

"Yes yes, follow me and we'll go to him."

All Might said, walking out of the door and wiping his lips as there was blood coming out from his mouth.

Shoto followed All Might outside the campus and to his car. Shoto got in the passenger seat as All Might got in the driver seat.

The two buckled up and headed to some retiring home where Gran Torino spent the rest of his days in, being a hero veteran.

All Might and Shoto got out of the car and approached the retiring home.

Shoto softly knocked and a short old man answered, likley Gran Torino.

All Might let out a slight wimper as he hid from the retired hero, though Shoto didn't seem to notice.

"Eh, who are you?"

Gran Torino asked Shoto, looking up at him with his cane in hand.

"My name is Shoto Todoroki, i am All Might's successor and he told me to come see you."

Shoto calmly explained and Gran Torino let Shoto in.

"Toshinori's successor huh? Why'd he pick you?"

Gran Torino then asked Shoto as he sat in a chair, Shoto sitting on a couch that was in front of the chair so they were facing eachother.

"Toshinori? Is that All Might's real name?"

Shoto asked.

Gran Torino nodded with a smile on his face.

"Yep, now why'd he pick you?"

Gran Torino asked once more.

"It's because he saw that i was very skilled and also determined to be a hero... I accepted his quirk because he was running out of time and plus, it might help me out in tough situations."

Shoto said, folding his hands as he softly spoke.

"Ah i see! How about we do a little sparring match to see if Toshinori was right about this skill of yours!"

Gran Torino said, hopping out of his chair and looking like he was getting ready to fight.

"There isn't any need, why don't you just watch my fights at the sports festival?"

Shoto asked, not wanting to hurt the old man.

"Ah that? Well i want to see how you would fare against someone like me, and not just some rookie hero in the making. You'll come to see that there is quite the difference between me and them young man."

Gran Torino said, a somewhat sinister smile creeping up on his wrinkled face.

Shoto stood up and let out a small sigh.

"I suppose you have a point, but All Might's quirk still hasn't fully manifested yet so wouldn't it be more appropriate when the manifestation occurs?"

Shoto then asked, feeling the left side of his body start to warm up in case he did need to fight and had no other choice.

"Nah, i want to see why Toshinori chose you as his successor so give me all you've got! Eh.. What was your name again?"

Gran Torino asked, his senile innocence coming back faintly.

"Sho-"

Shoto tried answering but was interrupted.

"Eh forget it, lets just fight already!"

Gran Torino said as he started bouncing off the walls, literally. His quirk seemingly gave him the ability of propulsion through his feet, being able to create thin but powerful streams of air capable of pushing him at inhuman speeds and giving him immense agility.

Shoto's eyes widened in a slight sense of shock as he saw how fast Gran Torino really was. Fire started coming from Shoto's left side as he got ready to shoot a fireball.

He did not care about the potential damage that he'd be causing since Gran Torino didn't seem to either, making impact with the walls and ceiling and making small craters and pushing himself off of them with his quirk, making the craters deeper.

Shoto raised his left hand up, ready to use his fire but couldn't get an exact aim on the speedy old man who zipped and zoomed all over the room.

Shoto's lower back was then hit by Gran Torino, knocking the two toned boy foward some and making Shoto grunt from the pain that came with the kick.

Gran Torino then went around Shoto and threw a kick to his face, making his head spin to the oppisite direction he was kicked in.

Shoto stumbled to the side, starting to get overwhelmed with the insane speed and power of Gran Torino.

All Might looked through a window from outside to observe what was going on, he worried that Shoto was getting beat pretty bad but knew he had the endurance to take the hits. He did cause himself heavy bodily harm most his life, seemingly coming off unphazed.

Shoto was rather frustrated as he couldn't even react since Gran Torino was just so fast.

Gran Torino decided to try and finish Shoto off by flying into his stomach, throwing a powerful punch that sent Shoto flying over the couch he was standing in front of.

"Dammit... I-i give up..."

Shoto said, clenching his fists out of frustration and hating the fact that he couldn't do anything against him.

"Hah, i really don't see why Toshinori chose you over anyone else."

Gran Torino mocked Shoto.

"I'm just not good against agile opponents such as yourself... But i will beat you, just watch you old geezer..."

Shoto said, giving Gran Torino a intense glare.

Gran Torino let out a lighthearted chuckle.

"I'd like to see you try."

Gran Torino said.

"Say, where is Toshinori anyways? He bought you here didn't he?"

Gran Torino then asked, looking around and hoping to find All Might.

"I actually don't know, he's been acting rather strange once we started talking about you. And when we arrived, i think he ran away."

Shoto explained, still rather pissed about his loss.

"Ah i see! Let me go outside and see if he's there, you stay here."

Gran Torino said, walking outside of the retiring home and looking around the perimeter for All Might.

He found All Might hiding in a bush. Gran Torino yanked All Might out and bought him inside the messed up retiring home which had craters all over the place and several appliances were completley crushed.

"All Might, why were you hiding from Gran Torino? You started acting all scared when we came here."

Shoto said, sitting up and looking at his two mentors.

"Well you see, he is... Or was quite tough, and beat the ever living daylights out of me everytime we tried sparring."

All Might explained.

"Yeah and if you don't stop rambling on about how you're afraid of me, I'll do what i did back then to you now. I've still got some fight in me!"

Gran Torino spoke, a challenging smile painted on his face.

"Are you two actually going to fight? If so i should probably leave."

Shoto spoke up, still staring at the two while also taking into account the amount of damage caused to the room.

"No no young Todoroki, we're just kidding around!"

All Might said with a smile.

"How about we leave and start training so you can do better in your next fights with Gran Torino, he prefers fighting to gage your level of skill after all."

All Might added, ushering Shoto to go with him to leave the retiring home.


Currently


Shoto stood in front of the hero killer, his fire wavering all on his left side, illuminating the darkened alleyway that had little to no light to begin with.

Stain had an intense glare in his eyes as he stared his opponent down, not truley wanting to fight him since he did go out of his way to keep his friend safe, even though his friend wasn't all that great in his eyes.

"Stain, d-do you want me to do anything?!"

Izuku asked frantically as he clutched his sword which was still in his hand.

"Yeah, just watch and learn, analyze my fighting style and incorporate my moves into your own style. Then once I'm done with this guy I'll kill off those two fakes..."

Stain said, still not really wanting to fight Shoto but Shoto seemed more than ready to fight Stain if it meant that it'd be keeping his classmate.

"Those two fakes? What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying they're fake heroes?"

Shoto asked with an intense look in his eyes.

"They're just using their own quirks for their personal gains. Like the brother of Ingenium..."

Stain started, pointing his sword at Tenya who layed still, paralyzed from Stain's quirk.

"He's just out for revenge on me for injuring his brother... And he's using his quirk to help him get said revenge."

Stain explained, pulling his sword back to his side.

"And the other one, Native, he's just using his quirk for fame..."

Stain added, pointing his sword over at Native who was also still in paralysis.

"Of course Iida would try and get revenge on the one who injured his brother! You unsympathetic bastard! And for Native, is it really wrong for him to want fame? What if he was ignored his entire life? And he just wanted to get noticed! And being a hero was the best course to getting noticed?! At least they want to be heroes, at least they save people and do good for the world. Unlike scum like you!"

Shoto snarled, his fire growing bigger and therefore brighter.

"Oh? And why do you want to be a hero?"

Stain asked with a slightly agitated smirk on his face as he rolled his eyes.

"It's because... I want to be like All Might, and save people with my power! I don't care about who dislikes my choice for that being my goal, and I'll do whatever it takes to be like him and carry on his-"

Shoto stopped himself, wanting to say that he wanted to carry on his legacy but didn't want Stain or anyone else to be skeptical of something that he might be hiding, like the fact that All Might and Gran Torino have been personally training him for these past few days to get better at both his fire and ice but also One For All, which is another thing he is currently hiding from everyone else.

"Eh... I guess there is more worth in you than there is in these other fakes. I still deem them fakes in my own eyes and there is nothing you can do to prevent me from purging them from this earth."

Stain replied, a murderous glare in his eyes, hoping that would ward Shoto off but to no avail.

Shoto actually got more enraged by Stain's words, shooting a stream of fire towards Stain who jumped out of the way, going high into the air.

Izuku watched in awe as the fight went down right in front of him.

Stain dropped down on where Shoto was once standing, stabbing the ground with his sword and making a loud sound. Shoto simply jumped back to avoid the attack.

Stain then threw one of his throwing knives at Shoto but it got deflected by a large wall of ice made by Shoto.

Stain caught the throwing knife that practically bounced off of the wall of ice, then charging towards said wall of ice with his sword ready to slash.

Stain slashed through the ice, standing on top of what remained, a murderous grin was on his face as he stared down Shoto, on top of the ice.

Shoto let out a growl as he shot some more fire at Stain who once more jumped over but from on top of the ice, making him jump higher and land behind Shoto.

Stain swung his throwing knife like a combat knife, attempting to slash him and draw some blood.

Shoto looked over his shoulder and saw Stain, jumping foward to avoid his attack from behind and then spinning around to face Stain once more.

"You rely your quirk too damn much, it makes you so predictable and easy to read. Give me enough time and I'll have you in a bloody puddle, just like they're going to be."

Stain threatened, referring to Native and Tenya who watched hopelessly.

"Dammit Todoroki go away! This isn't your fight! You'll get killed!"

Tenya suddenly shouted, still blinded by rage.

"Don't you care for your own life Iida? You would have gotten killed or at the very least horribly injured into not being a hero if it weren't for me! Do you still want to be a hero?"

Shoto shouted back, making a wave of ice to get Stain away from him.

Stain went in between the massive spikes of ice that created the wave, being suprisingly agile which is something Izuku noticed and kept in mind.

Stain got in really close and slashed at Shoto with his sword, grazing the boy's arm as he backed away.

Shoto looked down and saw the bleeding cut, knowing that he couldn't let Stain lick his sword now that there was blood on it.

Stain smirked and stuck his long, bumpy tongue out, about to lick his sword and paralyze Shoto.

"Should i use... One For All? It's not perfected yet but... I've got to do something dammit! If his tongue so much as touches that blade I'm done for! And so is Iida and Native! I've got to save them!"

Shoto thought as One For All activated throughout his left arm, fire glowing white hot around his left side. It seemed like he was going for some ultimate attack or something.

"Not only can One For All boost your strength and speed but it can also increase the power of your quirk, I'll use my fire and take this damn hero killer out right here and now!"

Shoto thought, raising his left arm up and getting ready to fire an immensely powerful attack.

Though before Shoto could do said immensely powerful attack, he felt his body go limp and he couldn't move, no matter how hard he tried.

Shoto let out a growl of frustration as he did everything in his power to move, even a toe but nothing moved an inch, just staying as still as a rock.

He deactivated his quirk, knowing it was his friend's demise, and also Native's. All he knew he could do was listen to their suffering as they get murdered in cold blood.

Stain started to approach Native first, running his sword through his stomach, puncturing his intestines which elicited a bloodcurdling scream. The sound of the scream got quieter though as blood started flooding his mouth and preventing him from speaking. Stain wanted to make Native's death as painful as possible.

Shoto listened in pure horror and dread, listening to the once bloodcurdling screams that turned into more.. Bloodgurgling screams.

Stain then peirced Native's knee with the sword, stabbing straight through the bone, breaking his leg while also shedding more blood.

Native regained the ability to move at last but it was too late, he passed out from blood loss, and not too soon after, he died.

Tenya watched and listened in horror, seeing Stain kill Native.

Stain then started approaching Tenya with his sword, ready to kill Tenya like he intended before.

Tenya trembled in fear, but... He felt himself tremble! He regained movement and decided to get up and fight Stain once more. But not to avenge his brother, he simply wanted to save Shoto so he wouldn't suffer a simular fate for saving him.

Tenya activated his quirk, flying towards Stain with a kick to his face, catching the hero killer off gaurd and making him drop his sword.

Stain let out a grunt from the pain that coursed primarily throughout his face.

Stain stumbled back with blood dripping from his mouth as the kick broke his jaw. He spat out a tooth that got knocked out from his gums, though there were several other teeth broken and out of place as well.

Tenya didn't stop his assult though, proceeding to throw a engine powered kick to the hero killer's chest to send him flying into a wall, hitting his shoulder and dislocating it while two ribs were broken from the raw power of the kick.

"S-Stain!"

Izuku shouted with a obvious worry in his voice.

"Get out of here Midoriya! Before those damn fake heroes come and arrest you too!"

Stain shouted, his words slurring due to him not being able to properly talk.

Izuku felt reluctant to do what Stain advised, he didn't want to just leave Stain there to get arrested. The little bit of good in him just didn't want to leave Stain's side!

"B-but you still didn't get to properly train me!"

Izuku shouted.

"Grr... God dammit just fucking leave already! I'll catch up with you!"

Stain yelled, trying to give Izuku some hope so that he would just go away.

"B-but-"

Izuku tried to object before hearing the sirens that got closer and closer as police cars approached the area. Gran Torino had called them once he heard the bloodcurdling screams from around the block and since the nomus attacking were going to be detained by the police, they just sent a few from their postage to go and assist Gran Torino while the others stayed where the incident was taking place. A few heroes who weren't exactly suited for the job of taking the nomus or the disasters on followed to try and support Gran Torino.

Izuku let out a shaky sigh, knowing that he was going to have yet another sleepless night as guilt would likley take over.

He ran away while also hiding from the cops the best he could.

Stain got up from the ground to face Tenya who was in fight mode for sure, getting two surprising hits on Stain while doing immense damage to him, damage that nobody ever has been able to inflict. But then again, he was caught off gaurd and wasn't about to get caught off gaurd again.

Though he knew he had to end the fight quickly, hearing the cops approach.

Tenya felt relief as the cops approaching in their vehicles, the sounds of their sirens blaring in the distance.

Shoto's fingers twitched ever so slightly, his body starting to regain movement once more. With him and Tenya as a team, there was no way that Stain could fight them. Not to mention that the cops and likley a few heroes were coming.

Shoto slowly got up onto his feet and glared intensely at Stain. But Shoto did feel some fear as he heard Native getting killed.

"Give up hero killer! The heroes are on their way here, it'd be foolish to try anything rash. Not to mention that we as a team is too much for you to handle."

Shoto said, Stain grabbing a throwing knife.

Stain threw the throwing knife straight at Shoto who raised his arm up and it got cut rather deeply.

Shoto let out a yell from the pain. He was surprised to see that Stain was still willing to fight.

Stain then rushed in with his sword in hand, ready to murder both of the heroes in training and get away.

The heroes and cops arrived before Stain could reach Shoto and Tenya though.

The cops had their guns drawn and some of the hero's quirks were active.

Stain turned around, stopping in his tracks and giving the heroes a murderous glare that filled them all with fear.

"You damn fakes! Come try and stop me!"

Stain yelled as the news helicopters flew over to record what was going on.

The bandages around Stain's face fell off, revealing what he looked like underneathe the bandages.

There was nothing too special, aside from the fact that his nose was missing, giving his entire face a skull like appearence.

His messy black hair drooped further down his face and the lights from the cop cars illuminated his blood red eyes, making him look like some horrifying monster.

"You can try to take me down but i won't let you!! Only All Might is worthy!"

Stain then snarled, drool coming from his lower lip.

Everybody was paralyzed in fear, even Endeavor, the number two hero.

Shoto and Tenya were also paralyzed in fear, unable to move as if he used his quirk on them.

But then... Stain stopped moving, his pupils went all small and it seemed like he was unconscious. Apperantly one of his broken ribs had peirced through his lungs.

Stain then fell over and the ambulance came to take him to the hospital before throwing him into Tartarus, the prison that holds the most dangerous villains in the world.

Some heroes helped Shoto and Tenya out from the alleyway and tended to their wounds, a few other heroes taking Native to the ambulance to see if he was okay, but they soon realised that he wasn't.


Izuku arrived tp where the nomu had attacked, hoping to find the winged nomu which he hoped would take him back to the league of villains hideout.

But he found nothing, just the city block which was in shambles.

Izuku let out a sigh as he didn't know what to do, he didn't know where to go to get back to the league of villains hideout which made him feel some severe anxiety.

He worried that the cops would come and take him away and he'd never get to see the league of villains again.

He saw some civilians start to gather around the area he was in to see the damage, not really seeming to mind Izuku who was in the center of the area.

Izuku let out a sigh as he started walking away, hoping to find something or someone that could bring him back to the hideout.


The End

Author's note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I apologize for it taking so long to make, i could have made it way sooner but wanted last chapter's cliffhanger to feel like a cliffhanger and not just a minor inconvenience. I'm thinking of starting a new, original arc with this story, It's hard to think of a name for the arc though. Izuku is gonna have to take his previous experience and put himself to the test to see if he can fend for himself in the real world. I think this arc has some serious potential and i hope you all are excited for it like i am! I think that is all i have to say for this chapter so bye!
