BWOOSH!
Not that alley.
BWOOSH!
Not that one either.
BWOOSH!
This one? Nope.
"Dammit, where are they!?" Blink asked irritated, moving through the chaos. He's sped off ahead, and had already checked a bunch of alleyways, knowing that's where the hero killer liked to strike most.
Unfortunately Hosu had to have some of the most complicated and winding one's possible, making the Omnitrix bearers mission to find Iida and save him all the harder.
BWOOSH!
Empty.
BWOOSH!
Empty.
BWOOSH!
Stain, about to stab Iida.
BWOOSH!
Wait.
BWOOSH!
He came back, and looked down the alley to see Stain holding a blade in the air, ready to bring it down into a bleeding Iida who seemed to be rooted to the spot. Behind them, a pro Midoriya recognized as Native was unconscious on the wall.
Had Iida tried to save him?
"Goodbye, you false scum." Stain said, and Midoriya leapt into actions, kicking the murderer straight in the face and taking his sword away to the other end of the alley, before changing back to his normal form. Stain looked up, cupping his cheek before growling. "Another one of you? You got to be-"
"Iida, are you alright?" Midoriya asked, not even acknowledging the villain.
"I'm… alive. Why are… you here?" The engine teen asked, through laboured breaths. "This is… my fight."
"Clearly not one you're winning." Midoriya said, walking forward. "Paralysis?"
"Yes..."
"Hm. You know your stuff at least." Stain admitted, with a shrug. "But you-"
"Don't start." Midoriya said with a harsh glare. "I already have a whole organisation of liars to deal with. You're stupid, hypocritical ideas aren't worth anyone's time."
"How… dare you?!" Stain asked, glare growing harsh. "Do you not understand how this world is-"
A green flashed engulfed Midoriya as his form shifted, and suddenly in the greenette's place there now stood an alien he almost never used.
Goop.
"Mi...Midoriya…" Iida coughed out.
"I'll do whatever I have to save both of you, Iida!"
Suddenly, the blue haired teen's eyes widened. "Yaoyorouzu…"
Looking back, the now slimy alien confirmed that indeed the creation girl had shown up.
"Dang it, I was really hoping Midoriya would have been wrong about this. What were you thinking Iida!?" She asked, as she and her new mentor took on fighting positions.
"All of you… please just go. This is…"
"Yeah, I've had enough of this." Midoriya said in his wiry voice, launching forward at stain who cut at his body in a futile attempt to stop him. The blade went into the alien's body and his form turned acidic, quickly melting the blade into nothing. "I get that you are angry about your brother Iida, but on the list of stupid things any of us has done so far, this might just make the top of it!"
"You brat!" Stain hissed, turning and launching forward, this time leaping over the alien and aiming for the girls, throwing blades out at them.
Both reacted quickly, metal and magic discs intercepting the knives and breaking them apart. Midoriya turned his attention to the victims, quickly sliding over to them and helping them try to get away.
Stain's eyes turned to see this and he prepared to rush back, but before he could he was suddenly hit in the back by a disc of solid metal.
He turned with a growl, before taking another disc of energy to the face. Shaking his head, he unsheathed two of his blades and rand forth, cutting the next few discs that came his way. "ALL OF YOU WILL BE PURGED!"
"Now, Yaoyo!" Gwen called, and the raven haired girl nodded, running and sliding under the villain, throwing a disc up at his stomach with an adhesive sticking it on. A look of confusion came onto his face, before a beeping sounded and the two heroes closed their eyes, as the miniature flash bang attached to the disc went off and disoriented the hero killer. "Nice going!"
Gwen acted next, grabbing him in a magic lock and throwing him into the air, letting him fall and hitting him with a barrage of discs he could barely avoid as he tried to reorient himself.
On Midoriya's end, he'd managed to get Iida and Native out into the street, as the paralysis on the former finally began to wear off. He tried to stand but he was suddenly stuck to the ground again by a glob of adhesive goop.
"Midoriya! I need to-"
Suddenly, a green slimy hand smacked the blue haired teen across the face quickly shutting him up.
"You could have gotten yourself killed, Iida! Or worse! Do you think this is what your brother would have wanted?!"
"I have too! If I don't, what else am I to do with all these feelings?" Iida asked, and the slimy alien let out a sigh.
"Get help. Seek counselling. Don't go getting yourself killed!" He said, before looking up and grimacing as he saw fire rising in the sky. "Look, there are Nomu all over the place and heroes struggling everywhere. I need to help Gwen and Yaomomo. If you come back in there Iida…"
He didn't finish his threat, as he walked back in. it was very deliberately because he actually had no idea what he'd do, but at least this way it would hopefully keep the idiot at bay.
Before he could walk back in fully, the engine teen's voice called out. "Midoriya… you're using that alien…"
"…Yeah."
"You hate that alien."
"Yeah…"
"….I made you do that, didn't i?"
"…." Midoriya just sighed, not wanting to answer that. He didn't have time to either, as a scream suddenly pierced their ears.
"YAOYO! LOOK OUT!"
And instantly Midoriya was off, quickly bouncing off the walls as he practically flew onto the scene, coming onto one scene he never ever wanted to come across.
Gwen had a throwing blade in her leg, and she'd been rooted in place just the same as the others before had been, unable to do anything but watch in horror at the sight before her.
Stain had Momo on the floor, blade above her neck. Midoriya couldn't melt the blade, not without hitting the girl and melting her throat in the process. Using adhesive slime on the blade wouldn't do any good either…
'No no no no nononononononono-'
"MOMO! YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING!"
"DIE!" Stain screeched, ready to bring his blade down and that's when it happened. Before the blade could come down her hands shot up, aiming at the villains face and out of nowhere a torrent of water unleashed out her palms, throwing the villain straight back along with the blade.
She suddenly collapsed back immediately after while the killer hit the wall and Izuku jumped in, seeing his opportunity. He quickly wrapped up the villain in his strongest adhesive, cocooning him as completely as possible and tearing out all his blades, melting them down.
He tapped the Omnitrix symbol a few times, turning back to normal and letting out a sigh.
"I will purge all of the false heroes. All your friends are nothing but scum!" The villain hissed, making the Omnitrix bearer roll his eyes. Then he realized something.
"Wait my friends but not me?" He asked, before shaking his head, realizing conversing with this maniac was pointless. Suddenly a purple disc struck him in the jaw and knocked him out.
"Sorry… but… just got out." Gwen said with heavy breathes, rubbing her leg in pain. "That's going to scar…"
The greenette was quiet as he turned to his girlfriend, running to her. (Screw maybe's, he thought as he dropped beside her.)
"Hey, Yaomomo? It's me." He said softly, taking her hand and looking down. "It's Midoriya. You in there?"
"Ngh…." She let out a small grunt, as she began to open her eyes and Midoriya sighed in relief. "Did… Did I pass out?"
"Yeah, but you made it possible for me to trap Stain!" He explained quickly, helping her sit up. She groaned and he gently snaked an arm around her neck. "What was that, by the way? It was awesome."
"O-oh… well uh, Gwen told me to work out something no one knew I could do yet, something I could try to use to add a new advantage to my powerset." She explained slowly, holding a hand to her head. "I had the thought that I had to create things like water sometimes for parts of creations so what if I focused purely just on those alone. It ate up way more of my lipids though... God I'm so tired…."
"Well stick with us for now, ok?" he asked, gingerly helping her up with a small smile. "I thought you were a goner for a minute there."
"S-sorry…"
"You know… is it too soon to say it?" he asked, and the girl looked up surprised, cottoning on quickly to what he was asking.
"M-maybe? I don't…"
He held her just that little bit tighter with a soft smile and blush. "Either way, I'm thinking it."
"…Me too."
And so the two just enjoyed each other's warm loving embrace in a moment of calm peace.
SNAP!
Both their eyes immediately turned to Gwen, who had pulled her phone out while they were distracted. She looked up and them and winked. "I'll send you it later. For now, let's not forget we have a murderer to arrest."
Very rapidly, the two's light blushes grew much bigger as they turned and began to walk out. Izuku supported his girlfriend while Gwen limped behind, carrying Stain in a magic grasp so her hands wouldn't get stuck.
They quickly found their way out, where Iida sat being inspected by… Todoroki?
"Huh? Oh hey- OH MY GOD IS THAT THE HERO KILLER?!" A pro shouted in horror, and the greenette looked around. There were a few pro heroes about, including Manual and….
"Endeavour…" Midoriya sighed bitterly, the man giving them a passing looks.
"You brats? Tch, damn pests." Was all he said, crossing his arms. "I should have been the one to take that bastard down."
"You're welcome." Gwen hissed with an unimpressed look. Midoriya took Yaoyorouzu beside Iida and Todoroki, sitting down beside them with her.
"I'm… sorry." Iida said quietly, a look of shame on his face. Midoriya just patted his leg carefully while Momo caught her breathe. That move really had taken a lot out of her. "You had to suffer through something you hate, because of my own foolish actions…"
"Well, we all makes mistakes." Midoriya said with a small teasing grin, just happy to be alive. "Some of us misspell our friends names on birthday cards and others chase down blood thirsty psychopaths. What can you-"
"ENDEAVOUR, STEP AWAY FROM HIM ALREADY!" A pro shouted iin anger and fear, drawing all their attention to the number two pro who was standing right beside stain. Midoriya's eyes instantly widened as he spotted the issue.
The pro's flames were hardening the cocoon, which would make it easy to break out of. He quickly jumped up, hurrying over in case he needed to trap him again. As he took that first step though…
"MIDORIYA! LOOK OUT!" Todoroki yelled and very suddenly buildings where flying past the greenette as a talon reached into his shoulder, the ground no longer beneath his feet. He looked up to see Nomu flying through the air, carrying him along.
It let out a guttural cry and the boy struggled to try to hit his Omnitrix. Literally any alien was better than his human form right now, but he couldn't reach because of how it grabbed him.
A blur shot past, and suddenly the Nomu let out a more pained scream as they fell out the sky. The greenette barely managed to crane his neck to see that Stain had broken free, and had managed to hide a blade from them all.
"I see only one true hero here, and I will not let him be killed by the likes of you." Stain said darkly, as they landed on the floor. Midoriya skidded across the cement, quickly turning to his watch. 'Crapcracpcrapcrap-'
It was red. He'd timed out.
'Oh…' He looked up with horrified eyes, only to see Stain walking away from him in an unsteady gait. His mask fell to the floor and the heroes up ahead froze up, as looks of terror came into their eyes.
Midoriya wasn't under their influence but the overwhelming aura of terror the villain was radiating still managed to keep him in place. This was not how he expected his day to go…
"ENDEAVOUR! YOU ARE ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD!" Stain bellowed stumbling forward, blade in hand. "YOU ARE THE WORST OF THE FALSE HEROES AND I WILL PURGE YOU ALL! THIS WORLD MUST BE DARKENED AND STAINED WITH THE BLOOD OF ALL YOU FALSE IDOLS, THAT CARE ONLY ABOUT MONEY AND FAME, SO THAT ONLY TRUE HEROES REMAIN! YOU ALL-"
Crack
All to suddenly, the villain stopped talking and finally he collapsed to the ground. No one was quite sure what happened but…
It was over. For now.
