I kept running, and running, and running, and running away from the death and destruction I caused. Too afraid to hear their pleading cries for help, and too afraid to see their agony plastered on their melted burnt faces.

I already saw enough for any 15-year-old teenager to witness with his own eyes. It was enough for me to pick up Eri, and run off the opposite direction leaving those innocent civilians to suffer and die, because of my own doings.

I remember not stopping to catch my breath, as I left a trail of tears in my path. I didn't realize I had made it home while bashing and crying for mom to open the door in the late night.

Mom was in a state of panic once she saw me holding an unconscious Eri in my arms, and seeing the state we were in. She was immediately in tears and began shooting a 100 questions within a second as we entered the house.

I didn't respond back, or rather I couldn't answer back. My mind was finally broken from all the stress and trauma I endured within a couple of hours. Everything after that went black, and all I could remember hearing was mom screaming my name in a worried panic.

"IZUKU!?"

….

.…

…..…..

The events afterward were a blur to me. I could only recall hearing a medical monitor beeping in my ears, as my eyes kept closed. I had concluded that I was in a hospital at that moment afterward, I couldn't hear nor see anything from the outside world during my stay at the hospital.

I was tormented in my dreams, being reminded of the collapsed buildings that were consumed in flames. The shrieks and cries for help within them. I found myself every time I was reminded of it, just staring at the scene in horror. I wanted to help save them, but my body never responded to my commands. I was frozen into place being forced to relive that moment over, and over, and over, and over. Til the point where I remembered every single detail of the event, as my inner self cried bloody tears, screaming for it to stop and have mercy on me.

...…...To forgive me for my sin. I was trapped in a void full of nightmares that reminded me of the horror I had caused. I just wanted to escape this nightmare I was trapped in, but I….. couldn't.

It wasn't a nightmare either…...but reality. The reality of being the host of two ancient dragons from a different world that has powers to kill Gods, and I used that power to kill….innocent people.

I don't recall hearing Ddraig or Albion talking to me during it all, or rather I just ignored everything all around me to remind myself that I was a murderer now.

...Murderers can't be heroes.

Chapter 3

Reflecting The Pain

"How could you!"

"You killed us!"

"Murderer!"

"Look at what you have done!"

"Damn you to HELL!"

"You killed my family!"

"Mama and Papa aren't here anymore, because you killed them"

"Izuku, honey…...how could you kill…..me"

….

"HHHHHHAU"

I lunged straight up on my bed, my hands outstretched in a grasping fashion as if I was trying to grab something to support me. My breathing was erratic, it felt like I ran on for a long duration of time without stopping to a catch a breath. It didn't help the fact I was drenched in cold sweat either. I noticed it was in the middle of the night from the moonlight entering my window.

It took me a couple of minutes to get my bearings straight, and I was now sitting on the edge of my bed with my face in my palms.

"Just calm down Izuku, it was just a bad dream. You had no control over your powerssssss…." My voice trailed off, I looked up from my hands to see my reflection in the mirror.

I was crying this whole time without even knowing it….. The facial expression I had was keen to that of someone in grief and sorrow.

"I...killed those people, and….didn't even attempt to save them" I whispered to myself, as I got up from my bed and walked over to the mirror. "You…..killed those innocent people without any thought for their well-being"

There was a glazed look in my eyes, as I stared into my reflection. Looking into my eyes I could sense the emotions within me eroding away into nothingness. In such a short timeframe to be exact, I was now reduced to a hollow shell of my former self.

"You killed them. You killed them. You killed them. You killed them" I kept repeating to my reflection, as I absent-mindedly closed my hand into a fist. "You killed them. You killed them. You killed them. You killed them. You killed them. You kilLED THEM! YOU KILLED THEM! YOU KILLED THEM! YOU KILLED THEM! YOU FUCKING KILLED THEM! YOU MURDERER!"

SMASH! CRASH! SMASH! CRASH!

Pant….Pant….Pant…Pant…

I stared intensely at my shattered reflection. I could see the disgust and anger etched on my face, as warm blood trailed down my forehead. My right fist was embedded in the mirror, bleeding profusely as it painted the mirror and wall in black blood.

GWUF….GWUF…...GWUF…..GWUF….

"Izuku!? What happened, dear!? What was with all that screaming!? Did something break!? Izuku open the do…." I drowned out her voice, once my eyes laid silently at my bloodied disfigured reflection.

"Why…..why me? I feel like I'm losing my mind everyday…...My heart hurts so much" I whispered closing my eyes shut, grinding my teeth in pain, as I clutched my heart. "I hate myself so much…... I'm afraid of myself…."

I laid my forehead against the shattered mirror, as I began to cry silently to myself.

*Sobsobsob* *Sniffsniffsniff* *Sobsobsob*

"Izuku, dear!? Please open the door, you're making me worry" My mom begged me.

I turned my back against the mirror and slid down until I was sitting on the shards of glass. I sat there in a limp state feeling my strength leave my body every second.

I stared up at the ceiling absent-mindedly, while belittling myself mentally over and over and over. I was slipping away into a deep depression.

The wounds I created physically kept spewing blood, but I didn't care for my well-being anymore. I allowed the warm blood to seep into my eyes, clouding my vision in dark red. My right hand was cold and numb, even with the warm blood coating it.

I couldn't feel any type of pain from the wounds, but only the numbness that follows after. However, I wanted to feel the pain, because I deserved it for what I have done to those people. Though it never came to me, because life had other plans for me.

That was for me to live with this heavy guilt at such a young age. To break me completely as a human being, until I was nothing more than a hollow shell…...and it's exceeding already. I lost the will to become a Hero after I was labeled a 'Vigilante' on the news channel last week.

That whole week I tried forgetting that horrible event, but every time I tried to. I was reminded of it a hundredfold. I couldn't eat nor sleep, I wanted to punish myself to atone for my sins, but everything I did didn't matter. It wouldn't bring those people back from the dead, and it sure as hell wouldn't be enough for forgiveness. So, I broke my humanity as best as I could.

And finally, I succeeded in doing that tonight….., because the emptiness within me was there for good….Or so I thought.

"Big Brother?!" A faint shimmer of light entered my bloody vision and began breaking through the darkness that surrounded me.

I slowly looked in the direction of the voice…..and there she was….. That snow-white hair glistening from the moonlight was like a path out of the darkness. Those vibrant red eyes stared into my soul, warming me from within.

I weakly reached out with my left arm, "E-E-Eri?" My voice was raspy from the dryness in my throat. "Eri….." I was about to lean forward but stopped myself. I was afraid that if I got any closer, she would disappear for good. So I remained in my spot, slowly lowering my arm to the ground. I lowered my head to hide my bloodied face, in an attempt to not scare her away.

Suddenly I felt something warm and soft grasp my hand gently. Immediately I looked up and saw little Eri holding my hand in her own, clutching it against her face.

I stared dumbly at her unable to process why she would try to comfort such a disgusting human like me.

"B-B-Big Brother, why did you hurt yourself?!" So much worry in that voice, and it was all directed towards me.

You shouldn't be worrying over someone like me. I'm a monster Eri…...monsters don't deserve to be given that type of affection.

"Please stop hurting yourself Big Brother, it hurts to see you suffer!" Eri beckoned.

"I deserve to suffer Eri….. I'm a monster….." I was cut off by Eri's next statement.

"I don't see a monster, but a Hero who saved and freed me from my miserable life. I would never think of you as a monster, but as my HERO!" Eri shouted at the end with some much emotion in it.

Eri immediately hugged me tightly, as I sat there in a limp fashion. Her warmness was spreading throughout my body. I could feel Eri's teardrops land on my back, as she held me.

I didn't respond back with hug myself, but simply sat there crying quietly into her shirt. My mother watched from the doorway in worry, as she saw the bloodied state I was in. Though I ignored her in the end.

On this eventful night, I decided to accept the fact I wasn't going to be the same no more...

Authorities are still investigating the Shizuoka Massacre case, which happened 2 weeks ago. Resulting in a total of 106 dead and leaving 53 in critical condition. Among the deceased, authorities discovered the corpse belonging to the notorious villain, Overhaul

Police Chief, Kenji Tsuragamae, has ruled it to be the actions from a new Vigilante, after watching a recording that a witness took before the massacre occurred. The tape shows 2 unknown individuals with Overhaul. One little girl with white hair, and the one responsible for the deaths, who seems to be a young boy with dark hair

The Police Chief stated, "As a request from the victim's families, the Japanese government, and myself. We wish for the young Vigilante to turn himself in for his own good. Young man, please consider this request". The Japanese Government has already labeled the young Vigilante, The Red Dragon

If you have any lea-

"The Red Dragon, huh?" A deep voice said as he paused the video on the Low-resolution image of Izuku in his Scail Mail. A sinister smile crept on his face, "I look forward to meeting you, one day boy".

To be continued….

Another Chapter update with grammar fixes hopefully it reads better than before. I got rid of chapter 4 because I just hated the contents I wrote for that chapter at the time.

This chapter is short if you haven't noticed it that's because it's more of a filler chapter. This is to show how those innocent people's death affected him mentally. Remember he's just a 15-year-old, so for someone so young to cause that and witness the aftermath of it can fuck them up for good.

So basically Izuku is a kid, who knows the harsh reality he is going to face with the cost of the blood being spilled on both sides. He's mentally broken, but he still has the heart of a true hero within him.

Last but not least, I want to make this clear so you won't forget. Major Character deaths will happen at some point in the story, so beware that possibly one of your favorite characters might die in future chapters!

Don't want to fully spoil anything else, so I'll leave it at that.

Now onto reviews

Hashirama 1710: Thanks, I'm glad you found it awesome!

Lightningblade49: I'll just say this, he's life isn't going to be bright. As for Eri, what do you mean by her tag being removed?

marcoglas92: I'm happy you found my story to be interesting!

TBM10: Haha thanks!

Plasma Dragon 312: Reason he can't use both at the moment is that he's a human. Using both at the same time will put a massive amount of strain on his body. Which could lead to death, if the user keeps using both at the same time. However, that won't be the case later on in the story's development.

animu for life: Neat indeed.

antenesis: Eri isn't part of the harem! She's going to be his little sister lol!

Draxinus: It's not much, but here you go.

MIKE202303: Hahaha! I hope I can entertain you with more awesome chapters!

Dragontitan: Glad you loved the battle, and Izuku's career as a hero...yeah he's going to be great…

Robin the Ylissian Grandmaster: Happy to provide entertaining chapters to my readers. As for Issei, I'm happy you enjoyed his small intro, he'll make more appearances later on in the story.

Drakolf: Glad you pointed that out, but to be honest I suck placing commas in the right place. Hoping it wasn't that bad in this chapter. If it is, then let me know okay. Reality has struck Izuku hard, and it will affect him greatly on his path becoming a hero. Eri will be Izuku's support beam and little sister.

Karlos1234ify: Highlight reels lol! It'll get good later on.

Remzal Von Enili: That wasn't a version of a lesser Juggernaut Drive, that was just him wearing his Balance Breaker.

Guest: I'm happy you like the new cover, I suck at Photoshop lol.

Kratos1989: He'll be able to switch from either one, but it'll just take away some of his stamina. He didn't activate Juggernaut Drive, you'll know when he does. It'll be more destructive and deadlier than base form Balance Breaker.

Johnny Spectre: You already know it, my boy! Eri is too precious to be hurt!

thomaspheasant: Here you go, it might be short but it's still a chapter.

That's all the reviews for now.
