Chapter 36: The Hero Killer
Star looked at the hero killer who wasn't sure if he should attack Shoto or Star and Izuku. After all they were behind a shield;
"Should I drop the shield?" asked Star.
"How does his quirk work?" asked Izuku.
"After we were cut we couldn't move." Said Native.
Izuku nodded.
"I'm dropping the shield…" said Star.
"What?" asked Izuku.
"I can take him.,.." said Star.
"Wait Star you know…" said Izuku.
Izuku sighed knowing that it would impossible to dissuade Star.
Stain looked at them.
He knew he had to stop them.
He readied his sword.
However he didn't expect for Star to point her wand at his sword and to turn into a balloon sword.
"What?" asked Stain.
Stain looked at the girl.
"So it's true… you do have a reality warping quirk,." Said Stain.
Star wasn't in the mood to bring up it wasn't a quirk.
She instead called out "Poison Crystal Cupcake Kiss!"
Stain just batted away the cut cakes with his sword.
However before he could react, Shoto sent out a fireball at him.
Izuku looked at this.
"He's using his fire." He thought happily.
However Izuku knew he should focus on that at the moment, not when they were fighting a very powerful villain.
He had to do had focus on fighting him after all.
Star readied her wand for another spell.
"Super Supreme Gust!" she called trying to blow away Stain.
However Stain was able to piece the ground with his sword to hold on.
"We need to protect them." Said Shoto.
"I know!" said Star.
"I think he means we should get them to safety." Said Izuku.
"Oh right!" said Star.
"At least a good place defend them until the quirk effect runs out." Said Shoto.
Izuku nodded in agreement.
Iida gritted his teeth.
"This is supposed to be my fight…" said Tenya.
Star slowly turned around to look at him .
"Tenya… shut up…" growled Star.
Kid… don't anger her any further…" said Native.
"What does that mean?" asked Tenya.
"It's a girl you angered." Said Native.
Tenya looked at native confused.
Native sighed realizing the kid didn't know anything about angry women…
"Just keep quiet and don't' argue with her…" said Native.
Tenya looked at the look on Native's face, it was a face trying to teach him a valuable life lesson.
"Lesson.. because it's clear you really screwed up with that girl." Said Manual.
That was when Stain decided to try to take advantage of this distraction.
However Star knew he was coming.
However she created another shield which the hero killer slammed into hard.
"Did he forget I could do that?" asked Star.
"I think he wasn't expecting that." Said Izuku..
"Yeah…" said Star.
They managed to get the three that were paralyzed together.
"Star…" said Tenya.
"Really don't want to hear it right now." Said Star.
The two heroes looked at Iida reminding him not to poke the preverbal bear that moment.
They looked at Stain.
"Okay… I'm letting you guys tell me to drop the shield this time." Said Star.
"Really?" asked Izuku.
"Really… it's better to plan out with this guy." Said Star.
"She's right." Said Shoto.
However Stain looked at Star knowing he would have to take her out of the fight first.
And thankfully it was clear how to do it.
Separate her from the wand .
That would be the clear way to beat her.
Star created a massive tiger and a minotaur.
"What?" asked Stain who really wasn't expecting those two things.
The pro heroes had seen Star create a unicorn during the Sports Festival so their weren't surprised by the things she created.
"Now's a good time." Said Izuku.
"Right!" said Star.
She once again dropped the shield.
Stain was ready for whatever they had planned…
And then the tiger jumped at him attempting to maul him.
He didn't get to though as he stabbed and it disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Which did make sense since it wasn't a real tiger but a magical construct.
"Why didn't that work?" asked Star.
No one answered because it was kind of obvious why it didn't work.
After all stab wounds would effect anyone.
That was when the minotaur went in for the attack.
At the same time, Shoto sent out a pillar of ice at Stain.
However Stain was able to cut down the pillar while the minotaur tried to punch him.
However Stain managed to stab to the minotaur.
As he was distraction with that Izuku tried to give him a kick but Stain was expecting it.
Stain managed to stab Izuku.
He was about to lick the blade.
However Star noticed this and realized something.
"Buzzing Bee Blizzard!"
A swarm of bees began to attack Stain.
Stain ended up dropping the blade he used to cut Izuku thanks to the swarm of bees.
The bee stings were harsh. And because of that Stain was unable to do anything.
"That's weird." Said Izuku.
"What is?" asked Star.
"I don't think it's just cutting you will affect you… there's something else he has to do." Said Izuku.
"So there's more to it." Said Shoto.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
At the same time however…
"Look if a girl can summon bees it's never a good idea to make her angry." Said Manual to Tenya.
Tenya didn't know how to respond to this advice.
Back with Stain he tried to fight off the bees but they were bees and very difficult to fight.
But he did get many stings for obvious reasons .
Then Shoto sent some fire at him, thanks to the heat killing the bees he was able to get away.
"Seriously Shoto?" asked Star.
"Apologies." Said Shoto.
"Whatever." Said Star rolling her eyes.
Stain looked at them.
He knew he had to take her out soon.
"Why are you fighting none of this is your business! You have no plans to be a hero." Said Stain.
"He's still may friend… I might be angry with him right now! But I will still fight for him." Said Star.
Stain looked at the princess .
"Star…" said Tenya.
"I don't want to hear you right now…" muttered Star.
Tenya once again quieted down.
Probably time to follow his mentor's advice.
However that is when he felt something.
Like he could move again.
Stain was about to attack Izuku but Tenya got him out of the way.
"Iida." Said Izuku.
"Time ran out." Thought Stain .
"Can you two move?" asked Todoroki.
"No…" answered Manual.
"I still can't." said Native.
"There must be a limit of some kind…" said Izuku, "It could be any sort of variables…"
Star turned her wand into a bow and created magical arrow when she pulled on the string.
"He's about to go on a muttering spree! Protect him!" said Star.
Tenya and Shoto nodded knowing that Izuku.
"It can't be… how many people were put under since Iida and Manual would have happened at the same time…" said Izuku, "Maybe blood types…"
Stain gritted his teeth.
"What are you types?" asked Izuku.
"AB." Answered Manual.
"B." answered Native.
"I am A." said Tenya.
"So it is blood types." Said Izuku.
"That doesn't matter if you know…" said Stain.
Star shot more of the arrow but Stain batted them away with his sword.
"Wait… if it's blood types…" said Tenya looking at Star.
"Actually…" said Star, "Mom explained to me mewman blood and human blood is compatible… and pretty much the same thing." Said Star, "No one knows why but it's true…"
Both Izuku and Tenya were surprised by this… and actually relieved as for a while they both had a nagging feeling in their back of their minds what would happen if Star lost a lot of blood and needed a transfusion… now they didn't have to worry…
Shoto on the other hand was confused unaware of the fact that was from another dimension.
Stain however took advantage of the combination of this brief distraction and the fact that her wand was in the form of a magical bow.
He managed to get the wand out of her hands and knocked away down the alley.
"Now you can use your quirk." Said Stain, "Sorry Princess…"
That was when Star took out a mace from her price.
"What the!" yelled Native.
"Yeah… her purse is bigger on the insane." Said Izuku.
The two battled, with Star blocking his sword with her mace.
He then pulled out another knife and cut her cheek.
Izuku was about to kick him in the head however before Izuku could Stain licked the blade and swallowed Star's blood right before the kick could land.
While Stain was hit, Star fell to the ground unable to move.
"Star!" said Tenya.
"I can't move." Said Star pouting.
"I saw him swallow her blood before my kick landed." Said Izuku.
"Just put me with those two." Said Star, "Or get my wand…, whichever is easier."
They knew she was right.
Tenya knew he had to apologize but realized now wasn't a good time.
But he still was the one to move her.
She was as glaring at him lightly as he did so.
"The princess is down…" said Stain, "I have no intention of killing her."
"Because it would things worse for you?" asked Shoto.
"No." said Stain, "Because even though she is a training to be one, she is honest when she says she won't become one… even though she does have the heart of one…"
"A true hero?" asked Shoto.
Shoto then sent out more ice at him but Stain cut it away.
"Who would be a true hero?" asked Shoto.
"Most heroes are frauds! All they care about is fames and riches… he came at me in revenge!" said Stain, "He's just as much of a fraud as the rest of them."
Tenya gritted his teeth.
"He's right…" said Tenya.
"Iida…" said Izuku.
"I tricked Manual and I broke my promise to Star." Said Tenya, "I shouldn't have gone after him."
The alley was quiet.
"But I still plan to bring him to justice." Said Tenya.
"You should still have your revenge." Said Star, "I was just against you going after him now…"
"Star"! said Izuku somewhat surprised.
"Star… it's fine…" sighed Tenya.
"Considering that you are royalty it would make sense that revenge would be something you approve of." Muttered Stain.
Star glared at the hero killer though wondering what that meant, unaware of the stereotypical backstabbing and revenge schemes that royalty was known for.
And then the real fight began.
Without Star's magic the fight got worse for the students.
Izuku managed to punch Stain hard however Stain did managed to get a cut into Izuku's arm.
Thankfully Shoto managed to attack him before he could swallow any of his blood.
Tenya tried to attack him, however Stain dodged.
Star watched the fight unsure if she could do anything.
"I have no idea what my blood type is…" thought Star, "I'm sure Recovery Girl knows… but I don't…"
She was Blood Type O which thankfully was the shortest.
However it wasn't going over any time soon.
She knew she had to endure it.
That was when Stain managed to get a really bad Cut on Izuku.
Thankfully Tenya managed to kick the blade out of Stain's hand.
"You know you can't change in a single night… you're still a false hero." Mocked Stain.
"I know it takes time to change…" said Tenya, "Because I know someone who has been trying to change for a while now… and learn from their mistakes…"
He didn't want to say outload that it was being forced on them, but yeah… he knew Star was changing.
However this speech allowed Stain to get in a good hit in.
"Tenya!" yelled Izuku.
Star's eyes winded.
And perhaps this was the thing that pushed her…
In Ryukyu's agency, Glossaryck was eating some pudding while watching the news from Hosu when he felt something.
"Oh interesting…" he said as he ate the pudding, "Didn't expect that to happen…"
He counited to watch.
Back in the alleyway Star felt something within her.
Her cheeks marks started to glow as well as her eyes, she started to float.
She shot off a magical blast at Stain, who wasn't able to dodge.
"Star?" asked Izuku.
But she didn't answer as after doing that fete of magic she fell out of the air, thankfully Tenya caught her… even if it as tableful.
"How was she able to do that?" asked Shoto.
"Her mom is able to use magic without the wand…" said Izuku.
"Wait…" said Shoto.
"Now's not the time." Sighed Izuku .
An explanation about magic should come later after all.
"You know I'm still awake." Said Star, "Whatever I just did didn't make me pass out."
"Oh sorry." Said Izuku.
"Can you move right now?" asked Shoto remembering she was affected by the quirk.
"I have no idea." Answer Star.
She tried to move, "That is a no…" she added.
Iida still held on to her.
"Drop me now." Muttered Star.
"IS about you being made at me?" asked Tenya.
"No… you shouldn't be fighting while holding onto me." Said Star.
Tenya blinked at realized she was right.
"And I was laying down before I did this…" said Star.
"I know…" said Tenya.
He looked at Star.
"Star… I'm sorry…" said Tenya.
"Now's to the time to apologize." Said Star, "Just kick his butt… I'm getting tired of this fight."
Tenya placed her on the ground.
Thankfully he knew that the fight would be over soon.
H looked at Izuku.
Both of the knew that they should attack together.
Stain was getting up.
Iida knew what he had to do.
"Recipro Burst!" he called out.
AT the same time Izuku reedified a harsh punch.
And with that Stain was knocked out.
They managed to find some rope in the garbage and tie him up. And take away the many knives and sword he had on him.
"I can move…" said Manual regaining the ability to move.
He got up and lightly smacked Tenya.
"We have much to talk to about later." Said Manual, "But you all need to get checked."
During both fights Tenya did receive massive injuries. Especially a really bad one to his arm during the first one.
That waw when Star started to regain feeling.
"Yes! I can move again!" said Star getting up.
She walked over to her wand.
"Really guys! No one picked up the wand?" asked Star.
"Sorry…" said Izuku.
She looked at the unconscious Stain.
"Should I add more ropes?" asked Star.
"Maybe… I don't know if we can trust garbage rope." Said Shoto.
"It is garbage rope after all." Said Star.
Thankfully Native managed to regain his ability to move.
"None of you got permission to be here… have you?" asked Manual.
Izuku and Shoto didn't say anything.
"Actually…" said Star.
"What really?" asked Izuku.
"When the city is being attacked and I get a message from you and since I have my scissors on hand…" said Star.
"How did you know wo the city is being attacked?" asked Shoto.
"I was watching TV." Said Star.
"Why?" asked Shoto.
"Because I was taking a break…" said Star.
"I see…" said Shoto.
'Yeah… that's not concerning…" said Star farcically .
"Who is he interning with?" Manual aced Iida who had a bad feeling about it .
"I don't think I should explain." Said Tenya.
Not a good idea to explain that he went with her his father after.
That was when several heroes showed up. Including Endeavor, Ryukyu, Nejire and a really short old man… who ended up kicking Izuku in the face.
"Hey!" yelled Star.
'It's fine…" mumbled Izuku,
"IU told you to stay on the train!" scolded the old man .
Indeed that old man was the hero who Izuku was interning with.
He was an older teacher of All Might's and knew about their quirk which was why he was offered.
However the heroes looked around in shock as they saw the tied up hero killer.
"Wait! Is that Stain…" said one of the other heroes.
"Yeah… it turned it out it wasn't the monsters Izuku was fighting but him… it's a really long story…" sighed Star.
"It's fine…" reassured Ryukyu.
Endeavor scowled looking at his son.
However that was when suddenly a Nomu swooped in and grabbed Izuku.
Everyone was shocked at this and thanks to the fight Izuku couldn't right back at much.
However as pointed out Stain wasted up with rope they found the garbage.
He got free, got one of the knives he hide and his person, licked the blood that had gotten on one of the hero's cheek as the Nomu as bleeding due to a wound.
Thanks to the quirk the Nomu went down and Stain stabbed it in the brain.
Everyone nearby watched in horror as the hero killer saved Izuku.
But of course Stain just ranted while excusing a killing intent.
"This boy is a true hero!": he ranted.
He ranted about how corrupt all false heroes were and how Izuku was a true hero. And that the only person who could defeat him was All Might.
However he soon passed out while standing up.
It was clear that this would have an effect for the future.
But still the students had defeated the Hero Killer.
But they didn't know that it would be the need of their troubles, because someone else was planning to make a move, a move that would have further reaching conciseness than any of them thought…
Next Time: Toffee makes his move! The monster henchmen kidnaped Izuku, Tenya and surprisal Shoto from the hospital as well as Ochaco from her internship. Star must confront him and with surpassingly with the help of Ludo and Buff Frog, will she be able to rescue them or will she forced to make a sacrifice? Find out next time!
A/N: I am aware that Manual as type A blood... but I changed it for reasons... namely because he shares a blood type with Iida it would d have changed things... but yeah...
As for Mewman blood... as they are descended from humans it does make sense...
