A Coming War


As the night finally waned with the dawn of light taking hold. It was only then, at this time, truly have the people of Japan saw… saw in its full nature, its full shape, its full form… the damage, the destruction, and the terror it gave view. At the epicenter of Hosu, a battle… nay, a massacre! Caused by the hands of monsters.

The city itself, although majority of the bout was at its center, none was spared from the crossfire. The epicenter already being called ground ZERO, as nothing was left than the remains of dust and smog from the buildings that were destroyed; livelihoods, homes, and many more, gone in a night's time.

The people outside its destruction, affected by the sheer intensity and force it gave out. For those that were watching, for those that were farther away, none of them could know how it felt to be in Hosu. None of them knew… the palpability of the intent to kill as it radiated all throughout, even those of the likes of children were not spared. The howling of the wind as the periodical intense heat that swept throughout, along with the agonizing screams of a beast and the loud beats of unadulterated destruction that cannot be unheard and unseen. For those that were lucky… PTSD was better, rather than pure and primal fear… no… TERROR it gave forth.

The heroes and villains that were present that time, felt it… feared it… scorned it…

There was even a point that said villains felt pity to those that lived in Hosu, more so with the case of heroes, which actually saw and worked with the mental stresses of the Citizens that reside within the city. The cries for help, the begging to put it to end, and the show of sorrow was ever present, for even though the battle was done from a far. It didn't matter if each blow the two monsters gave out, shaked the cores of all that was in that city.

The ground shaked, the air whistled, and the buildings crumbled even from such distance. Evacuations were already issued, but even that was not enough. It was the final blow between the two that made it unbearable… add to the fact that it was that alone which turned the epicenter, into what ground ZERO is. Nothing but the dust and smog of destroy buildings… nothing but the complete and utter silence that came from it.

Though they had wished for it to stop, none of them knew that the same wish they sought for, was also a double edge sword. The silence it produced, the abrupt void of sound… It was unexpected indeed, for it was that same and abrupt silence which broke many of the citizens within Hosu. The whispers of silence… a void of sound… the nothingness it gave.

All this was shown live for the people of Japan to see.

Along with Genos, now at UA High's clinic, courtesy of All Might himself.

The cyborg could only stay silent, as the air within the clinic turned into a cold and solemn wisp. All Might, just staring at the television, seeing the damages that was done. And regretting for not being able to do anything about it. While Genos, was in deep thought.

"You two should take some rest for now… and I don't think the any of you should be watching the television as is, at least, not for today." Recovery Girl said as she turned off the television, then going back straight towards the inner parts of the clinic with Power Loader in tow, collecting his tools.

Silence remained, but only for a moment, as All Might looked at Genos with a sadden and distraught expression.

"What now?" He asked, though in truth, not wanting an answer.

"What else is there to do? Other than move forward…" Genos answered as he supported himself back up. Then slowly headed out towards the doorway out of the clinic.

"Those people… Genos."

The Demon Cyborg could only stop at his tracks from those words.

"I know that we all should move on forward from this… but Young Genos. I would like to know first from you. How about those people?" All Might looked at the cyborg with nothing but melancholy at this point on. "And don't you dare say they should handle it on their own!" He added in spite.

"…" Silence was the only thing that Genos could give out.

For unlike with the citizens of his own world, his own universe. Those that were already numb to such destructions, those that already accepted it as a norm, those that have already taken to heart, the phrase of "Kill or be Killed"

Unlike them… unlike him, these people, the one's that lived in this world. The people of Japan, the people of an Earth with multiple continents, with multiple countries. They are truly unlike with his.

The complete destruction of City A, one of the major Cities in Genos' world, a city that if it were to be compared to what Japan has, it's far larger than Japan itself. A super continent for those that do not recall. Genos' world is such, a super continent composed of Cities from A to Z, all having their own territories within the super continent, taking each land as is.

When City A… no, more like a country in the standards of All Might's world, when such a country was completely wiped off the map. Sure, sorrows and sadness did reign, but it didn't stayed that long. It only took a couple days for a hefty sum, and about a few weeks for the rest, to completely accept such things. That's the kind of world Genos lives in, that's the kind of mentality and complete disconnect of norms between them and the people here in Japan.

Yet still… what he saw, what he felt… Even though in his world they are hardened to a degree, that such things does not bother them to a point anymore. There is still enough humanity in them… in him, to know that those people. The people that lived in Hosu, the people of Japan, and the people of this world. No matter how unalike they may be to each other, there humanity stays the same.

It angered him, as it also saddened his very soul. To see those eyes, to hear those voices… it distraught Genos to his core, for what he saw, for what he felt, was the same thing he experienced three years ago. The death and destruction of his home town, as he was last living survivor that came from it.

He knows their pain and he knows why All Might is asking him about them.

"All Might… there is one thing I would like to tell you first, before I answer that question. I hope you would believe in my words alone, though I doubt it." Genos said as he went towards the television, taking out a simple USB chord within his inner machinery, then inputting it towards the television.

"As you recall, I was transported here in such a manner, that even now it's hard to believe. And it's because of that, a good amount of time I was wary of all of you. Making me always on my toes as the enhanced sensors Dr. Kuseno gave me was used to its fullest potential. Used to analyze that monster that fought with you, to analyze the so called villains that tried to attack this school."

"My sensors, though I'm giving you information that I rather not give. With a bit of hesitation, I think it isn't worth it to further this problem between us. All Might, my sensors were not just on vision, but on hearing as well, while the other few I won't disclose. So if you haven't realize yet, I'll tell you."

With a bit of surprised shock from All Might's face, a bit of cold sweat came out from his skin, and a bit of realization on the other capabilities of the young lad in front of him.

Genos remained silent as the television slowly showed his own vision… a vision from not so long ago, as it also sounded out what he heard that day. The day in which All Might gave his word to help him go towards the right path, the day in which he first showed his feats for the world to see. A day in which he scorned, but also a day he realized that the people of UA High, was not an enemy, if All Might's soft spoken words about him said other wise.

Genos knows about their fear of him, their doubts, and their tribulations when they saw him for the first time and even more when he fought with Endeavor. He knew they meant good, and that they just fear what he was capable of. He even knew about All Might's secret, because of his own self training to be more wary of his surroundings, it couldn't be helped that Genos was forced to keep his sensors on hearing on, to the max.

Even if it's wrong and a clear invasion of privacy, yet he was in an alien world where people have quirks… powers that could give a normal C-class hero a boost towards becoming B tier and even A. It was only after that mock of a battle did he stopped himself from doing this, out of respect for others own privacy.

The recording continued on, as it also showed the times when Genos' heard of All Might's true secret, along with the young boy named Midoriya. This earned a gulp from All Might, but when then number one hero looked at Genos, he didn't see any form of malintent with such information, as if, Genos doesn't really mind nor care about it. A sense ease came after that.

Then, it stopped as Genos removed the USB cord connected to the port of the Television. He then continued "I know that you people are wary of me, I know that you are afraid of me turning against any of you… and I might have actually done that! But that will only be possible if I hadn't met my master."

Genos looked intently with passion in his eyes towards All Might, as it showed not the coldness of those of a killer or a villain, but those of the kind that are a true hero. "Back then, when I haven't met sensei yet. I was more like a certain A class hero in my world. A man on edge… too eager to eliminate evil. Just like me, he must have gone through something terrible in his past and yet. Unlike me in so many categories."

"If I were that man back then, then maybe now or even before, I would have already killed those Villain and even those Mutant quirked individuals. That's the kind of man you want to look out for, but the one you are seeing now… Is not that man." Clenching his fist as he breathed out a bit of air, the atmospehere earlier before, was slowly fading as something else replaces it.

With a rather proud tone in his voice, Genos said on the top of his lungs.

"I am Genos! The Demon Cyborg, the Disciple of Master Saitama! I am the boy that was saved by Dr. Kuseno and I'm the hero that my master would look highly upon! All Might, here and now I'll tell you. I'm no villain, I'm no killer, for I am a hero of Justice. I eliminate the evils that are true, not of those with petty actions like burglary and the sorts. So keep your mind at peace! All Might, for I won't become something that I am not."

"I'm no monster, I'm a Hero. Remember that." Genos ended as he can finally go outside the clinic then towards his quarters, for he has greater things to do at that point on. For All Might on the other hand, only a bit of shame in himself he felt that moment. The fear of what young Genos might become, the fear of what kind of a person he truly is… all of it went away in mere moments.

"I'm sorry for doubting you. Genos." All Might said as he too proceeded to head out of the clinic. Now, towards to Hosu once more, as the people there need someone that could save them from the dread of Fear… of Terror. And he, is that person they need!


Time went by as the start of day finally reached it's quarter. The sun shining high up above, as it lightened the devastation in Hosu.

Garou battered and bruised to an extreme. His body shaking from the pain as his breathing kept on worsening by the moment. His wounds not healing, as if the damage that came from the Demon Cyborg himself, was meant to stop any forms of such. The searing hot flames of his fists, the hellish beam of pure energy, and even the ungodly force of his JET DRIVE ARROW. 'If it weren't only because of you… old man. I should have been dead by now.' Garou's internal being said to himself, but none of it he'll remember.

His body was now in autopilot, controlled only by his senses, his instincts, his will.

He can't feel his hands, the force it took and countered back was too much, while his legs shake for every step he takes, his eyes blurred from the hazy trance of such fierce fire power he intake. Garou's body could only ask one thing at this point, and it was for it to rest, but such a luxury isn't something given to those of his kind.

'The hypocrisy of it all… Heroes will always be given such biased and unfair abilities. Just the same that those in power will always have the high ground on those that are weak… I HATE it all! I have ENOUGH of it! Why is it, that they would always win? Why would the monster…. Me, always loose. It's not fair! It's not…'

GAROU….


Waking from his trance. Garou found himself in some sort of facility. How he got there and why, he does not know. All that he can get on such predicament, is that he might have sleep walked all the way there…

"Where the hell am I?" Garou asked as he looked around. He was currently in a dark corridor within a certain facility of who knows what. And yet, the place felt like something he was bound to search for in the long run. Something in which Garou did not understand from the way he's feeling at that point.

It took a bit of time, but after a bit of coming to terms with his current situation, Garou decided to just move on after that point… Although, not before noticing something rather strange on his body. Marks of an unknown language covered his entire being, from the chest towards his arms and legs, the only part left that he assumes that doesn't have these marks is his face, though he has yet to confirm it once he finds a mirror or something reflective to see his own reflection.

"Just what the hell are these?" He questioned as he tried to rub the marks off, thinking that it might just be some sick joke of someone marking him with a marker. And yet, such a thing was not helpful at all. The marks cannot be erased. "So these things may as well be written with a permanent marker, or someone tattooed em' on my body without me noticing…" Garou sighed, for even if it were from the two he guessed, such things isn't likely the answer.

"Then maybe this is a sign of my monsterification?" Garou asked himself with a bit of amusement… and yet, he does not know why. Why is he amused by it? and why does it feel like something like this already happened before? As if it came from memories aft-

"AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH" with great pain, the marks lining all around of Garou's body, started to heat up in such intensity that the only thing the hunter could do, was take knee from the excruciating experience. "W-what… is hap-happening, to me?" He asked, but the only thing that came was silence.

The pain was unbearable and yet, Garou did not loose consciousness, as if his will and mind contradicts the feeling his body is being subjugated with. Pain with multiple intense waves came forth, but he did not falter any lower than taking a knee. And then, after what feels like an eternity… it stopped.

Bewildered and distraught, Garou can now stand again, but something felt even more strange than before. He was mad… angered without reason and yet, it felt like it was justified. His mind ached at this point on, ached in a sense that something he has forgotten, was slowly coming back.

"What now?..." He said as he let out a breath, making his body give in from the headache rather than the pain.

His consciousness fades, but not before a light shimmered in his sight. A light that completely took him over, his vision all around, was replaced with whiteness of unbelievable purity. And then, it banished… leaving him in the dark.

"I'll take my time with you Garou…" a voice said as it echoed all throughout. The voice, being somewhat familiar to the hunter.

"You still haven't remember everything yet… have you? Garou." Another voice came, but now it was something more familiar than the first. It, originating just at the back of the hunter. So he looked, but no one was there… only a chain of two handcuff was seen.

"What even in the hell is happening to me?" Garou asked as his surroundings finally cleared from the darkness he was in before. Investigating the area he's in once more, the place looked like a prison cell, and yet, no prisoners… until he looked back once again at the chains he first took notice.

!

With a shocked face, Garou almost jumped at what he saw…

"This… this can't be real? I'm hallucinating, am I?" Garou nervously asked, but was certain it can't be the two cases he said. And so, he looked once more at he chains that has now a body. A body that he knows who it belongs.

"This is me…" He said as he saw his own body in chains, though the chains were more like to keep him in place, rather than to completely imprison him… or his body? It was strange as it was absurd. As there are two of him now, him being the one standing and the other is the one in chains.

It took him a moment, but after a while, Garou decided to ignore the strangeness of his situation… And so, he look once more for the last time towards his other body chained in cuffs. Reaching out his hand towards himself, "Jus-" and as he touched the body, another wave of pain came towards his entire being, Garou once more took a knee as his mind ached and ached and ached…

Memories started to flow in, like a raging tide. Memories of him being cornered like dog by 3 S-Class heroes, memories of a boy named Tareo, memories of a Monster Association, memories of a Worm King, and last of all, a blurred memory of a being of unknown origins.

It all came back, as his body finally stopped its trembling from the pain, with his mind now clear of memories that was lost. And yet, there was still another memory left that felt like it was taken. That memory, was the memory of how he ended up in such a place, and why so.

After the realization of his own-self. Garou woke up from his unconsciousness, for real this time, but the place was even more unfamiliar. "Just what and where in the actual hell did my body go unconsciously… Tsk." Garou said in spite, knowing well that it's his own body moving him around the place… but even so, he was just relieve that his body didn't straight up just went to a sewer or a dumpsite from his unconscious sleep walking.

"Huh… my body still feels like shit though." Garou mused, but ignored it once more, for he has bigger problems to take care of. One of em, is to find out where the hell is he. For looking around, he was still in some kind of facility, but no longer was he in a dark corridor, rather, he was now in a well lit one. His body, Garou assumes, might have brought him even farther inside the facility itself. What may he find in this place, he does not know, but if it's anything less than that King of Worms or that Demon Cyborg, he was certain he could easily take care of it.

Moments passed as Garou walked throughout the facility, there were doors locked all over, but it didn't stop him from looking around. Most were like lounges when he forced himself in said rooms, but a few… were something he did not like to see. Said few were like torture chambers, complete with whatever megalomaniac would want to test on some poor soul.

It made Garou sick, knowing that only a person can do this, making experiments on other living things, unlike monsters that are just guided by their blood lust. One could even argue that a human is more of a monster than a monster itself, but such thinking wouldn't do any good at this point, and so.

Garou destroyed those said rooms as he went back towards the corridors, making his way out of the labyrinth like Facility. It took a bit more time, but after a couple of minutes. Garou finally heard of what he was looking for. Footsteps, different from his own. They were near, and so, following the sound. Garou made his way towards them.

It only took seconds as Garou finally made his way towards the sound. It came from two beings, on his left was a monster to Garou's eyes, its body covered with fur as its face was of a lion, the one on the right on the other hand. It was a person, a human to say the least… wearing a peculiar mask, a mask that Garou remembers all to well.

The two didn't even realized that they were headed towards him, as they were too preoccupied with talking to each other.

"As I said before, and I won't be repeating this to you again you son of a b*tch. There is no way in the ever living Hell, would I ever want to switch with you! I'd take garbage duty for the rest of my life, instead of taking care of that little brat!" The masked man told the Lion like monster on his right.

"Common now, don't be like that. We all know that you like em… hehehe. We all have our fetishes… and you would certainly like a little girl… So why won't you take it? Huh?" The freak said almost convincingly towards the man in mask.

"I may have my fetishes, but no way I'll go that far to change place with you, you f*ckwitt. Plus, I could easily take other brats of my liki-" The man in mask was stopped in his tracks, as if he hit a wall.

"For gods sake! Look where you're go-ing…" His face felt numb, as cold sweat dropped like Niagara Falls out of his body. An Iron grip held his head as his arms were broken without him even realizing it did… He wanted to scream, but his voice never came out, as the man in front of him radiate such air that could silence anyone in near vicinity, he was even sure it was the man's quirk causing it.

He could only try to look at the man, markings of what seems to be an ancient text, was all over his body, as crimson red adored his hair and blacken sclera on both of his eyes, with the somewhat alive black clothing that covered his entire being. And yet with all that, it was the man's entire face that made him piss and shit his pants.

The man in mask wanted to get out, wanted to leave with all his might… but couldn't. All that he could think of now, was if his partner managed to escape, and so he moved his eyes towards his right, but only despair met his gaze. Just like with his arms, broken beyond repair, his buddy's remains was splattered all over the place. Such horror was beyond all that he has seen, and he has seen plenty.

He tried to look back towards the man holding his head in an iron grip, but the strength to do so, was already gone when the said man gazed at him. Those judgeful eyes of a being beyond imagination. He could only gulp on what He would do to him…

"Now… you two said along the lines about a brat… or to be more precise, a little girl. Am I right." It was not a question, the man in mask thought to himself, he knows that this person heard everything that they said, and there was no denying it.

"You have only one option, and you cannot refuse it no matter how much you try." Garou's eyes glared furiously at the man as his grip tightens even further. "Show me where this girl is, and give me a layout of this place." That was a command that made the body of the man in mask, move on its own. He was no longer in control, for fear has taken it all from him. He could only do what he was told to do.

It only took more than a couple of minutes for them to reach the place on where the said girl was, and a bit more for the man in mask to get a blueprint, of the layout of the facility they were in.

Garou took it and once more, looked at the pathetic man in front of him. "W-will… y-you l-le… lllett me… go?" The man was trembling in primal fear, but Garou gave no answer, for to him, after hearing the talk between the two earlier on. That same man with a mask, was no man to him, but rather one of the lowest of low, a scum of a petty monster, and to monsters like so. Garou won't show mercy.

With a swipe of his hand, it, not even registering what just happened, could only widen its eyes as it felt like its head was floating up the sky. It didn't take long to realize though, As the beheaded scum came into a conclusion on what just happened.

With one clean swipe, its head was severed, but not before it being sliced for another time, in a perfect circular pattern. "Scum…" Garou said as he left the limp less body of the degenerate, only then, he continued his way towards the room where the said little girl was being held from.

Finally, at the front door of the room where the child was being held. Garou opened the door with ease as he saw a room filled with toys and whatever the hell a demented caregiver would give to an abused child. It only took a second for Garou to realize this, and a second more to take note of the young girl in front of him.

The girl only surprised Garou even more. 'Was she a monster? A mix of human? A breed from an unholy unity between monster and man?' those were the questions that came into Garou's mind, as he scrutinized the young girl's appearance. "In all aspects, she looks like an ordinary girl… but that thing on her forehead…" Garou thought to himself, as the little girl has this horn sticking out from it.

"I don't feel any monstrous emotions or behavior from her, nor intentions… only fear." Garou said once more to himself as he made his decision. "Hey you. What's your name?" He asked the young girl, but she was reluctant… no, to be precise, she was in shock. For this was the first time she saw of a man like Garou. Unlike with those that came before, Garou was beyond any of them… she could barely breath at the tense air or aura that he was giving out… unknowingly.

She wanted to speak, but couldn't. Her body only trembled as a faint smell ammonia lingered. She can't take it anymore, the others were tolerable, even if they were scary, even if they were beasts… molesters… abusers… but this person right in front of her. A person that looked like the devil himself, she couldn't take it anymore. Her emotions might have been numbed already from the experiments she had to endure… but this, this takes the cake. The pure and unadulterated aura alone, that the man produced in front of her. Was a hundredfold the amount she has witnessed from her caretakers… And so, her eyes slowly watered as her body knelled down from the pressure, as if finally accepting her faith… to be broken and truly succumb to the numbness.

Garou saw this, the face of someone giving away one's own life. Accepting the cruelty of the world. He knows this kind of face too clearly, for it's the same as most of the people in his world has. People that accept the meaningless of life in a world filled with monsters, a world in complete acceptance of the phrase "Kill or be Killed." The sad truth of his world, but the thing is… even though this was common to the normal people around him, this was not normal for a child like her or for children in general.

What made her like this? What cruelty did she endure? And what can he do to even try and help her… a child. Even though it was himself, his intense aura, that did this to her.

The hunter's mind only fell silent, as he tried to think of what to do. So he meditated as he took in some air and out… only then, it came. A memory of an old man came to view… "Hmmm… Huh… I can't believe I'm doing this." With a scratch on his head, Garou knelled down and looked at the young girl. His face, though it was scary to look at, he only breath out and gave a sight to the young girl, a sight that's not just rare for its value, for it was just as rare for its frequency on being seen.

Garou smiled, but not with the usual gut crunching and heart stopping grin that shakes his opponents to their core, but rather, it was a smile of complete and utter kindness… of warmth. A smile that was of the same with his Master, back when he was young, back when he was still training with the old man… back when his Master was not a hero, rather, was a man that he could only call a father to him.

And so, Garou smiled like that, may it be for the last time. A smile that can give warmth to anybody, no matter who they are… a kind and gentle warmth, meant for kids that are in fear, and stupid pupils like him. Garou smiled… as me placed his hand towards the young girl's head and proceeded to pat her.

"There's nothing to worry about anymore. For I am here, and I'll save you no matter what." Garou said in a kind voice, something in which he would scorn if anybody would ever hear him say. Though, there was no point in thinking that at the moment being. For the young girl, was finally able to speak… to cry… to have someone to save her. Just like with him, just like that time he first met his master… his true, in a sense, father, as far as he was concerned… nothing like his worthless parents.

'It's truly a shame…' a silent wisp went by, unknowingly even for Garou.

The young girl cried on his chest, as he hold her tight while patting her head. "Come on then… let's get out of here, shall we?" The young girl only nodded, as Garou carried her on his shoulders. Him, readying himself for a small sprint that the young girl could take, as he reached out the corridor, it was at this moment, the girl spoke for the first time towards Garou.

"Eri… my name is Eri." The young white haired girl said with a soft voice. "Garou." The hunter replied back as the two went out of the facility.


A total of 4 hours went by, as the day turned noon. A certain Cyborg was now waiting for the arrival of four of his students… and a few things… that he sent, after talking with All Might.

The Door towards the training area opened, as four figures came in, along with a few black figures in tow.

"What took you four so long?" Genos asked as he was balancing himself a little bit, for his right leg was still in broken form. The skeleton of the frame only remained, as the outer layer of the armor got either destroyed, or was sliced off in a perfect circular motion.

"We're sorry sensei! It was hard to get this things here on foot. Not much transportation lingered after your bout and all…" The blonde teen said, as he lowered one of the black massed thing on the ground, same with the other three. "So… did we win, sensei?" Mirio asked with a bit of hesitation, though, in truth. He actually just want to know about his masters… condition.

"His Leg…" The four in unison, thought to themselves. Just what kind of battle happened, to give such injuries to their sensei! But not just that… How come, even with a lost leg, is their sensei able to move?!

"Hmmm… you four want to tell something, don't you? Come on then, spit it out." Genos nonchalantly told the four students, knowing well on what they want to question about. "It's about my Leg is it? And how am I still standing?" Genos once again said towards the four, only for them to shakenly nod their heads.

"Hmm… well, I have already come to terms on giving out this information, and… it seems that it won't even matter anymore, since he is here. So, to hell with it." Scratching his head with a bit of disbelief on what he's about to tell the to his four disciples, Genos sighed at such predicaments that led to this moment. "You four. Come here, so I won't need to yell it out loud. I rather not let anymore people to know of this. Just the four of you and some chosen people here in your school."

"Huh…" Genos sighed once more, as the three moved closer to their sensei. This really was one hell of a mess for him. It was already tough enough that the world got to know of his name courtesy of Emika, and more so, of some of his capabilities during his bout with that Endeavor person… And yet, his days here in this world couldn't get even worse than that.

He was given a chance to have someone that can help him, even though it was out of the blue. When Emika came and bearing down the news that she can be of help to him, by having access to a much more detailed set of information towards the happenings in Japan, instead of relying on the internet. Genos was actually a bit relieved on that, not because he couldn't do it himself, it's just that if he did… He will be forced to access restricted areas within the Government of Japan. A thing that he wouldn't like to do, though if it was the only option he has… he will be forced to.

Truly, he was relieved at that moment, though her reasoning on helping him was still a puzzle for his mind to understand. He couldn't say no… for finally, he can have more access to information's that would help him get out of his predicament here. He maybe a hero, he may have a duty to also protect the people here in Japan… but he is not a HERO, so is to say, a HERO of this WORLD. His sensei, Dr. Kuseno, and even his original goal, never left his mind. This is not his home, at the same time, these are not the people that need him. He has other priorities than to stay here, and other plans, other goals and more things to learn from his own master.

And so, information is key. Information of whatever might help him get transported back to whence he came from. Back to his own world, his home. And it was when he saw that black mist like being. Genos hypothesized that it can be of used to him, as such abilities like transportation, was rare, even to this world filled with these so called Quirks. So again, information is key, as without it, Genos wouldn't be able to find a way to go back home.

That's why he felt relieved when Emika told him about being able to help at that category of his problems… it was all well and good, but then He came around. Just like the last time they met, with his Crimsoned Hair and Monstrous strength… Genos didn't think of the possibility that another like him, was sent to this world. Garou was his name, and it's because of him, that made things a lot more difficult for Genos.

He has now in need to change of plans… and those are to instead find a way to get back home first… Now, it is to subdue and or kill Garou now, before he truly starts turning into a monster and going back home second. That was, what he planned at least, but Garou… he was far more than he had expected. And, he was the only one to blame for such a failure. 'I should have… gone full-, no…'

Going back to his sense, he then turned his gaze once more towards the four students, now sitting in front of him, wanting to hear his words as if it were the gospel. Genos could only sigh, for the final time of this day as he begun to speak.

"Listen well, and listen carefully, for this will be the first and the last time you four are going to hear it from me. And I expect the four of you keep this to yourselves." Genos said as he gave an even further emphasis on them not telling anybody about what he's about to say.

The four nodded in unison and agreement. Not wanting to disappoint nor disrespect their sensei. And so, they listened carefully for each words, each sentence, and each paragraphs of text that came out of their master's tongue.

And yet, even being ready for anything, being thought by their master to train not jet their body, but all their mind and soul… to be even ready of threats like those blackened beast they fought earlier in the morning… The words, stories, that were coming out of their sensei's tongue. Even with all of their training, they couldn't even being to believe much of it!

Seeing this, and judging from the scans that Genos was looking at, he could only scratch his head once more, for them to truly believe in him, he'll need to use a projector once more. A thing that he does not want to get at that time, for they have an even more serious thing to get on doing, rather than talking about who he truly is, and where he came from.

So, he only looked at the four with a rather stern and cold look and begun to say his words. "If you four don't believe me or still have your doubts, then so be it, it'll be much better for me. I don't care much anymore at this point of time, for we have a much greater problem to adhere to. And by the looks of it, with those things, and the hero hunter slowly turning into a monster. A war will soon take place, and I need the four of you to be ready, as All Might and the other teachers will soon do their roles for the coming days."

With a bit hesitation and doubt that were still lingering out from the four. They could only try and accept what their master had told them about his… existence and came to be in their world. It was also this time, that some flying droids came inside the training area.

"What are those?" Nejire was the one to ask, "Drones that I sent back towards Hosu, I made them myself." Genos answered quickly.

"I sent them to gather the pieces of me that can still be of use, and luckily…" As one of the droids came closer for them to see. "It looks like most of it is still intact. I'm truly grateful that I have a talented Dr. to rely on." Genos ended. Though, even if most of the parts were still intact, there are still a lot of things that needs to be done and taken in consideration before he could start on repairing himself… like the materials and minerals that he needs to mend the metals back in place.

'Tsk… I guess I can only make that one device functional, huh. While the rest will be scrapped, for I'll need those Chitinous plates for my own. I rather unfortunate predicament to add with the other piles' Genos remarked.

Moving on from the topic of who and where did Genos came from. The four, now focused on the other part that their sensei has told them. And it was about a war that will soon to come, and a war that they themselves, would be a part of. And so, they asked their sensei about it.

"Sensei, about what you said earlier by the way. About the war." Mirio noted to their sensei.

As Nejire also asked at the same time "Yes, about that Sensei. What do you mean by it? And our roles along side it…"

"What will happen sensei? For the coming days and the how come you're so sure about it?" Tamaki added.

Genos remained silent on this, as if he was surprised that the three didn't notice what was about to come… and so, he looked at Shoto Todoroki, wanting to make sure if the kid was also in the dark on what was about to come.

Luckily though, it wasn't the case on Shoto's side, as he was the one that answered the questions of the other three.

"Don't you three noticed yet? Or, is it just that you guys have been training nonstop that the three of you could forget on the happenings not long ago and now? Sensei already has knows of it, and I'm sure the other pros as well. The war they are talking about, is the war of us, against the League of Villains. Haven't you guys even noticed? That time when we arrived at Hosu, about thousands of Villains came in and these black creatures along side them, add the fact that it was also the same time that sensei fought this Garou… this Hero Hunter. What else could it mean other than an upcoming war will soon come?" Shoto ended, as he left the other three with quite a shock at such a detailed thought on about this war that their sensei told them.

Truly, though, instead of being ashamed nor embarrassed, the three were impressed with Shoto's development. It may only have taken days since he has started training with them, but in those days. He has been doing his hardest and to the point that, even such a thing like this… thinking like their own sensei, the three could only be proud of their own lower class men. Mirio almost cried as Nejire was already hugging the half and half teen in tears, crying on how uninformed they are compared to him. Even Tamaki, in his own way, gave his regards by putting a hand on Shoto's shoulder.

"Well, at least one of you noticed." With that alone, the other three stopped at what they are doing and became serious once more. Hearing the words of their sensei and the reasons for what may come from their underclass men. They now know what will be in store for them. And so, they asked once more for one question.

"I guess we now know why, thanks to Shoto here. Haha." Mirio chuckled a bit as he continued on. "Then, I think that just leaves us with one question then. Sensei… what will be our roles?"

To that, Genos gave a rather small smile as he answered them.

"To subdue, Garou. The Hero Hunter."


Nightime came soon as the last veil of light was snuffed out by the darkness of the night's sky.

At her desk with multiple leads and information to be given to a certain Cyborg. Emika Kobayashi was drained and was about to fall to her bed and take a well earned rest… until that certain someone called.

Standing up frantically, Emika cleared her tired voice and picked up her phone, blushing and already heating up a bit, as a call from Genos himself, was something she did not expect to come so soon.

"Um—uhhh, Hi, Genos-kun" Emika said sheepishly as she facepalmed herself out of embarrassment on adding that –kun, part in Genos' name.

"Hmm?" A little bit perplexed on that, Genos ignored it and just continued on. "Emika, you're about to take your rest right?"

"N-no, no. Actually, I was sti-"

"No need to lie Emika, you need your rest, so don't push your self." Genos knew that she was actually overworked, especially after her giving such a detailed report to him, about Garou and what happened that day in the now called, Death Alley.

If it weren't for her efforts, if it weren't for her information. The newly called massacre/now ground ZERO that happened in Hosu between Genos and Garou, would have been an even more bloodier and gruesome scene. That is, if Garou was left unknown. That's why Genos now has a great respect for Emika's efforts, and thanks for her hard work.

"O-ok…" Emika answered softly, as she blushed even more so.

'To think, that even now, he's still thinking of my well being… even when he might be still injured. Genos… why do make it so hard on me.' She said internally as she help her heart, trying to calm herself from the warm feeling she was enduring.

"Emika. Before you take your rest, I want to ask of you one more thing." Genos continued.

"Is it more information about where Garou was, before you two fought? Or is it about those Black Creatures… Nomu's was it? and their connection and probable whereabouts with the League of Villains?" She asked.

"No… it's none of that. Emika, listen well and listen closely. I want you to do this one favor for me alright."

"Alright then, what is it? Genos."

"After a couple of months… weeks, or even days! Emika. If things here start to reach its zenith, I want you to get as many people as possible, out of Japan… but most importantly. You."

This silenced Emika, as if, instead of what should feel like a warning of sorts, it felt like it was a goodbye?

"What do you mean by that Genos? Why leave Japan? Why-"

"Just listen, alright. I'll also tell this to the other heroes and the police force that they have here at UA High. They'll need as much help as possible for what might come for the following days. This war might end in the destruction of Japan… that's why, Emika. I want you to take as much people you can, to convince them and you yourself."

"This isn't a game nor a simple Hero vs Villain cliché anymore. Now that he's here, it might not end well for everyone here in Japan. That's why… that's why I want you to take care of yourself as well. So please, that will be my last favor to ask of you. As much as possible, take and convince as many people you can, and you yourself, to get as far away from Japan. Understood? Please, do understand." And that's the point were Genos, hanged up. Leaving Emika out of words.

"Genos… why? What will you do after you meet him? That man…" Emika could only clench her heart, as now it ached from what she thinks might come, after all of this. 'Genos… just stay alive, will you? For me?' that was her silent wish that night, as she fell down on her bed. Thinking, remembering, and keeping dear memories to heart, for something big will soon to come.


Author's note:

I guess I'm not dead, am I?

Well, I know, I know that things have been slow, and I'm partially to be blamed with that, but do know I have other priorities too… Sadly, "Online Class" and a "Poor Ass Country" doesn't mix well, more so with me being in College…

If they hadn't done such a thing. Things would have been different… but there's not much I can do about it. Our school system is too stubborn, even though a lot of us aren't well equipped. Still, I do feel like I still have a part to be blamed for not posting frequently, and I'll gladly take that criticism, just please. Be gently a bit on me. I can't post as many chapters compared before, add to the fact that I need to re-read them so that the continuity of the story, fits the turn of events.

Anyhow. Enough of pittying myself, here you guys go. A new chapter, I hope it's still on par compared to my other chapters. I'm lowkey, rusty once again from writing things like this. So yeah, if any part of this seems confusing, just say so in the reviews. I'll also be answering any question for those that might ask.

And yes, I'll answer them here on this chapter. I'll update this chapter maybe after a couple of days or weeks, just to answer your questions. The upcoming chapter might take a while, cause I'll now focus with the next chapter of my other fic. The "A Lone Wolf In A Cubs Body" So, heads up on that, those that are following it.

Anyhow. Thank you guys once again for reading all the way through to this point. I wouldn't be able to continue on writing this fic without all of your support.

And oh, before I forget. If you guys found any problems in the continuity of the story. Do tell, it would greatly help me in fixing this chapter if some major thing in it contradicts the story outline from the previous chapters.
