(Dabi)
He has watched the fight between Shoto and his classmate a dozen times now. His eyes never left those cyan flames that his brother created, and he'll never forget that look of freedom on his face as he released them around the arena.
His little brother has grown a lot. And he missed all of it.
He still checks on them of course, but fear always kept him back from going back to them. Endeavor, that filth, is still around and kicking.
He won't go back to his family until his flames turn that filth to ash.
"I don't care that your flames hurt you. You'll build a resistance over time. Stop whining, else you'll never surpass All Might." His lips pull back in a vicious snarl at the memory, the temperature in the small abandoned building he's currently using as a refuse spikes and fluctuates for a second before calming down.
What he went through was torture, and he took a portion of Shoto's beatings too before… before he lost it during his venting session in the mountains.
Shoto was born with the exact Quirk that filth wanted, and used his poor sweet mother to create. He can't even imagine the sheer torture and abuse Shoto went through, much less his mother since that filth locked her in a mental hospital.
He so wants to burn that damn thing to the ground and bring her away in his arms, but again, fear holds him back.
He isn't the old Touya anymore, he is a murderer, a Villain, and he works for Japan's Boogeyman, The Man in The Suit and Fedora, or that's what some people call him.
The man appeared and saved him before he could turn himself to ash with his own flames, helped him, healed his body, made it stronger and much more resistant to his own flames, then gave him a choice.
"You can work for me, help me achieve my goals, and I will help you achieve yours with everything I have… Or you can walk through those doors and leave, and you can achieve your goals by yourself." It took him an entire day of mulling over his odds before deciding to accept the man's offer.
He was then put through some experiments, his body was augmented even more, and so was his Quirk. His own self inflicted burns never lasted long as his healing factor had been boosted so that he wouldn't destroy himself by going all out.
A sigh escapes his lips, fingers tracing the smooth skin of his face as he drew his gaze away from his phone.
Would he ever come to blows with his brother? Would he even have the courage to point his flames towards his little brother?
They are in two different worlds now. One is on the side of the greatest Hero in history, and the other is on the side of the greatest Villain that has plagued the world since the dawn of Quirks.
One is alone, the other has a massive empire spanning all over the globe. Friends everywhere, thousands of plans, and so much more.
It was a loosing war… and yet All For One was afraid. He'll never admit it out loud, but it was clear the man was afraid.
Not of All Might, but of the one student that has taken Japan by storm. Not only for having already a record of killing Villains, but also for being known and feared to be as strong, if not stronger, than All Might himself.
And for cursing and flipping off nearly all of Japan on Live TV. No shit All for One is also a big fan of hers.
He sighs again and goes to stand, then stretch his back.
Time to go to Hosu and find that dumb Hero Killer.
(Stain)
His breathing came out heavy and slow, his body feeling hot and his rugged cheeks being slightly flushed.
The stench of blood from the corpses around him heightened his arousal as he stared at the picture of the man that will one day kill him.
"You…" He rasps out, manic eyes turning to glare at the purple haired girl in the same picture. "You aren't worthy to be his successor…" He spits out, spittle flying everywhere as drool pours down his chapped dry lips and bandaged chin.
"Nobody is!" He yells, kicking the mangled corpse in front of him, then removing his chipped and rusty katana out of it's head and giving the bloodied blade a long sniff, then he dragged his tongue along the blade to gather the blood, a shudder of pleasure coursing through his body at the taste.
"You have been bewitched All Might!" He chuckles hoarsely, fingers stroking the form of All Might reverently. "I will cleanse all the filth, and then you can kill me in our final clash!" A shuddering breath leaves his chapped lips.
"I cannot wait to taste your blood…" He whispers, crouching down to push his hands into the puddle of warm blood surrounding him, then drag them across his face.
"More filth awaits… Hosu is filled in it…" He pants hotly, pupils dilating as the stench of blood grows stronger as he inhales deeply.
"I shall purge it all in your name All Might… all for you…"
(Kyoka)
I stare at the large building in front of me, then down at my phone, then up at the building.
Then at the massive fucking bunny ears on top of the white building.
…
Yeah, this is the right fucking place…
I of course picked Mirko as the Hero to intern under for quite a few reasons. One, I want to train with my legs, my acrobatic skills, and how to throw good kicks, and Mirko is the best in all of those.
Second, we have similar personalities and prefer working alone, but for different reasons. I because I can't go all out with others around me while she just hates working in teams.
And third, because we both fucking hate the government. I've seen quite a few of her interviews where she flipped off the Hero Commission and cursed at 'em with such foul language that it makes me proud.
Momo and Tooru went with Edgeshot to train their stealth skills and martial arts since the Hero is an expert in said things.
Ochako, Mina and Aki went to Ryukyu.
Sato, Shoji, Sero and Mineta went to Shishido, a Hero nearly in the top ten.
Kirishima and Todoroki both went to Crust, a Hero in the top five. Mostly because of his incredible Quirk control. His Quirk doesn't make him create hard shields, he can harden his skin like Kirishima, then stretch the hardened part easily to create various shapes, while Kirishima worked hard to achieve the shapes he can.
Todoroki also went there to give Endeavor a big middle finger.
Tenya went to his brother, Ingenium.
Tokoyami went to Yoroi Musha.
Denki went to Best Jeanist.
Tsuyu went to Gang Orca.
And Midoriya went to Gran Torino.
All in all, pretty much all of us received internships offers by top Heroes, which shows just how great the urgency after All Might announcement is.
I sigh, put away my phone, fix the big ass crate with Stereo Heart in it on my back, then step into the agency, which surprisingly looks quite amazing inside.
Plants of all types, an artificial garden, tree and small pond on the right, and dozens of carrots on the left. Carrot plushies and dolls and stickers everywhere.
Damn… She really likes carrots.
The receptionist at the main desk perks up, a woman with slightly dark skin and long black hair with black bunny ears on top of it. She looks very young, maybe a few years older than me, and she kinda resembles Mirko. A sister perhaps.
"Jiro Kyoka?" She narrows her eyes up at me, then looks down at one of the papers on her desk once I nod. "You're early." She hums softly, then smiles up at me with a bit of pity. "Mirko is waiting for you. Go at the end of the hallway and take the elevator to floor minus three." She's gonna attack me on sight, ain't she?
"Thanks." I nod and fix my package, then walk to the right and down the hallway.
"Good luck." The woman mutters softly, making me press my lips in a thin line. She's gonna attack me on sight…
I get into the elevator full of carrot stickers and settle my package aside, then press the button that will take me to my destination. Then my eyes twitches when I notice the details of the damn elevator.
The buttons are made in the shape of carrots, everything being orange in color, and the elevator music being a song about fucking carrots!
I'm gonna go insane here…
Ding!
The elevator dings and the door start to open, so I go to reach for my package, only to smile and lean back as a foot soon enters my vision and smashes into the other side of the elevator, making it shake and denting the metal.
"This is one hell of a greeting." I hum as I turn my head to stare down at Mirko, her back bent in ways I didn't even know were possible as she gives me a feral grin.
"Ya dodged it!" Her feral grin grows even more as her eyes all but glow with pure infectious excitement. "I'm so gonna kick your ass for that!" I snort, a grin spreading across my face too.
"You gotta hit me first!" She barks out a loud laugh, then spins around on the foot still on the ground, turning the heel of her lifted foot towards me face before she lashes it out towards me, making my back and dodge it just barely, then bend further and jump as she rests her hands on the ground to spin around and try to kick my legs from under me, but once again she misses.
The elevator shakes as I land on my back, and I grin up at her as I lift a hand and bend my middle finger back in her direction.
"Oh shit-" Her curse is cut off by a powerful blast of vibrations that sends her flying out of the elevator, giving me time to stand back up and drag my package out of and into the large arena with dozens of white pillars all around the place.
And no Mirko around.
She's jumping around so fast that I can't see her, mostly due to the dozens of pillars also spread around.
Not that it'll help her since I can hear her feet hit the ground, even if it's for barely just a second, her heartbeat, her breathing, the movement of her legs. Everything.
And I can also feel the changes to the vibrations around the area.
My power is just so broken…
"So!" Her voices echoes around the large gym as I crack my neck and knuckles. "Why did ya pick me? Bet ya got a lot of internship requests after the ass kicking ya delivered to the other class!" I snort softly at that, my mind going back to the way I just punched Monoma out of his clothes.
"Also! Ya gotta teach me how to punch fuckers outta their clothes! I laughed my ass off for an entire hour when I saw that!" I couldn't help but laugh softly, then take a step to the right as her foot flashes by the spot where my head was just a second ago, then she disappears again.
"Because we are similar. I prefer working alone." I hum, then dodge another kick aimed to the head with ease. "And because you have skills I need. Mostly your acrobatic ones and your kicking skills." I state, then once again dodge another kick, this one aimed for right knee. I know she isn't serious and these are just probing blows before the real shit comes.
"Now I like what I hear!" Rumi cackles from somewhere as she keeps bouncing around like the way too energetic bunny that she is. "But ya gotta impress me first! Else I'll kick you out!" Oh so this is how she wants to play huh? Fine by me!
"Alright then. Don't whine when I kick your ass." She cackles again as I reach up and turn off the gravity weights on my wrists, around my belly, and around my ankles, then stretch my body as I release a content sigh.
Now I feel like a feather…
I toss my sweater and gravity weights away, leaving myself only in a tank top, then start jumping up and down, using only my toes to proper myself several feet in the air.
The sound of my jumps grew louder and louder as each time I touched the floor a ripple is released through the entire gym.
I breathe out, lock on her position, then turn in her direction just as my toes touch the ground.
My knees bend, and then the whole gym quakes as I blast towards Mirko.
The dozens of pillars are all atomized by the vibration blast I released on take off, making Mirko lose her footing for just a second. But that second is enough for me to reach her.
Her feral grin only grows bigger as she bends her back like a bow to dodge my punch, then sprung back and retaliated with a kick towards the back of my head, but I duck under it and grab her leg with my jacks to stop her spinning momentum.
She stomps the tied leg on the ground hard enough to crater it and give her other leg a chance to whip out towards my face with enough speed and force to leave behind a trail of white condensed air.
I lean my head back and let the kick pass by my face, then pull my jacks back with enough force to make Mirko trip, but she uses her hands to spring up, clearly having learned break-dancing with the way she easily spins around.
My eyes widen slightly when Mirko flips around, resting her feet on the ground, then just vanishes in a terrifying show of pure speed, cratering the ground in the process.
I breathe in, then enter Zenith to follow her sheer speed and retaliate.
I flip around and lash out with a kick, my leg meeting hers in a clash that shook the whole gym from the clash of pure force, speed and vibrations.
I match Mirko's feral grin with my one before we both move.
The gym shakes from every single one of our clashes as I keep my attention on her movements and the way she kicks, then copy them each time, instantly seeing a huge difference between my current kicks and the previous ones.
"You're copying me?!" She cackles, her feral grin full of excitement as she stomps down to a halt, leg spread wide apart and upper body leaned so far down that it was nearly touching the floor. Look at the curve of that ass…
"Now this is getting exciting!"
XxX
"Ouch." I twitch as I rest the ice bag against my bruised stomach while Rumi rested it against her head, both of our heads lowered as her receptionist, who turns out to actually be her older sister, stands before us with a frown and crossed arms.
"You two made the whole neighbor think there was an earthquake." Me and Rumi share a glance, and try not to snicker or laugh. I mean, we did go just a little overboard.
Just a little…
"You destroyed the whole gym." Rumi's sister groaned, as if she could read our thoughts. "There are so many holes in the walls too!" She stomps her foot, and me and Rumi just shrug at the same time.
"Actually it's just three." Rumi points out, and I nod sagely at her words.
"One made by each of us and the third…" We share a look, then just shrug. We managed to land quite a few blows on each other during our nearly twenty minutes long vicious spar, but they were all glancing blows other than the final ones that put a stop the fight.
I could have hit her a lot more using Zenith, but I didn't want to be the winner, I wanted to use that chance to further study and learn more about my Zenith state when fighting against someone that just goes super fast. Since I fought against the Nomu, Rumi is the first one that I actually truly made me need the to use Zenith to keep on fighting.
"Anyway, I'll just have it repaired later. Ain't much of a problem." Rumi shrugs and stands, then stretches for a second before winching at the bruise on her face. I hit her real good there.
"This week is going to be hell…" Her sister sighs, then walks off while pinching the bridge of her nose, with Rumi giving her back a massive grin.
"Anyway Rookie!" I raise an amused brow up at her. "Let's go take a shower, grab a bite to eat, then we'll go out for a few hours to kick the asses of some Villain." Well now, that does sound very exciting and good.
"Also, before we go out I only have one rule." I straighten myself as she crosses her arms and turns to fully face me. "If you see a Villain, it doesn't matter if I am around or not, you have my permission to kick their ass. Don't hold back on me just because of some dumb fucking rules those morons of the Hero Association made. We are Heroes, and saving people comes first. Got it?" Yeah, I'm totally going to enjoy being here with her. She's just so like me.
We took a quick hot shower, a quick yoga lesson given by Rumi herself to help me with my flexibility, which while it's good, it isn't as perfect as hers.
Then a quick meal with carrots. Far too fucking many carrots. Everywhere!
Needless to say that when I ran into a Villain in an ugly ass and dumb looking carrot costume that evening I punched him hard enough he left a hole in the clouds.
Mirko started crying when I injured 'Carrot-Man'...
I really hope everyone's having it better than me at this point…
(Ochako, Aki and Mina)
"Nejire Blast!"
Boom!
"Senpai! Please stop bombarding us!"
Boom!
"Show mercy! Ochako is throwing up rainbows!"
"Wait really!? I wanna see- ack!"
"Get her now! Gang up on her! Tickle the living shit out of her!"
"Guess I found some good playmates for Nejire…"
(Tokoyami)
"Darkness shall rise…"
"I'll fuck you up old man! Ya hear me!? I'll fuck you up in an early retirement- ack!"
"Language, young creature."
"Who the fuck you callin' 'creature' ya sack of shi- ack! Stop hitting me with that fuckin' stic- ack! Ack! Ack! Stop!"
"Darkness swallows everythin- ack!"
"Cease such dark words, young bird."
"… That's racist."
…
"Ack!"
"No talking back."
"Fumi! This fucker is a fuckin' bully!"
(Momo and Tooru)
"Why did you go for the balls…?"
"That's a man weak spot… no?"
"...Fair enough… ouch…"
"Don't worry, she did that to All Might too."
"Hehehehehe~!"
(Midoriya)
"Get over here boy!"
"Please, no more!"
"Brings me back to the old days when I was whippin' All Might into shape! Makes me feel young!"
"You are a monster!"
"Nah, just a senile old man… Who are you again?"
"I'm Midoriya- ack!"
"I didn't ask!"
"Yes you did- ack!"
"Now I feel like I'm kicking a puppy… Again!"
"You monster!"
(Todoroki and Kirishima)
"Has your old man stopped swarming you with messages yet?"
"Nope."
"How many is it now?"
"It had just reached a thousand before I blocked him… now he's sending e-mails."
"… You blocked Endeavor… that's manly."
"Please stop crying…"
"Tears are manly!"
"Snot isn't."
"Fair enough."
…
"Is Crust done giving his speech to us already? I kinda tuned him out after the first ten minutes of talking and ten buckets of tears."
"Nope."
(Tsuyu)
"Kero."
"Why is your face so emotionless?"
"Resting bitch face. Kero."
"… And you can still keep that up after you drop kicked a shark through a boat?"
"I'm cool and adorable like that."
…
"Your classmates have been sending me threats through e-mails for the past day saying that if I hurt you nobody will find my body… could you tell them to stop?"
"Nope. Kero."
"Also, they are serious. Kero."
"Kero."
"Kero."
"Kero."
"Please stop staring straight into my soul…"
"Nope. Kero."
(Kyoka)
Yeah, I'm sure they are doing just fine.
XxX
The days went by fast, and my schedule was quickly set up at the end of my first day.
Quick spar with Rumi in the morning, then shower, then yoga lesson, then we eat, go out to kick ass for a bit or to just patrol until night falls, then do another four hours until midnight, then go back unless things got a bit chaotic and required our presence for a bit more. Which happened only once due to a car accident caused by a robbery.
A kid nearly lost his life in the car crash, and let's just say that the Villain that caused it received one hell of an ass beating from Rumi. Pretty sure knees aren't supposed to bend that way but alright…
"Ya know, I never asked…" I perk up as me and Rumi walk through the main entrance of her agency. "But is All Might a good teacher?" I hum and lean my head back at her question while removing my sonic mask.
"He's gotten a lot better compared to the first two months. He actually made the work-out plans for my entire class and Class 1-B as well, and gives very good advice when it comes to handling certain situations." She whistles softly at that as I lose myself in my memories for a second. He's really gotten a lot better, especially his mood.
Right now there is no more sense of urgency in his actions, and he is always calm, cheerful, and helpful to all of us. That's very good.
"No shit your class is one full of monsters then…" Not really, that's due to our sheer hard work.
"Rumi!" We both perk up and stop as Rumi's sister comes running towards us, face pale. "You need to go to Hosu, right now!" She screams, and I feel my stomach drop.
"The fuck is going on?" Rumi's eyes narrow, and her sister gives her the phone in her hands.
The Live Feed on the phone is horrific.
Dozens of Nomus swarming the street and fighting against Heroes.
Bodies everywhere, destroyed cars, crumbled buildings, large fires… That was hell on Earth.
"Interstellar, let's go." Rumi's face was set in a horrifying frown as she turned around, and I put my mask back on and followed her outside. "Full speed, towards Hosu." I grit my teeth as she shoots off, and the street crumbles beneath my feet as I release a sonic blast and shoot myself into the sky as Rumi breaks the sound barrier and blasts into the distance.
I reach up and press a hidden button beneath my mask, and soon the sound of a ringing phone starts.
It doesn't take long for my classmates to answer.
"Everyone headed to Hosu?" I ask as I blast myself across the sky, never touching the ground as I keep my eyes on Rumi and my surroundings so that I don't go the wrong direction.
Not that I can since I can already see the pillars of smoke and the lights of the large fires around the city.
I'm gonna fucking rip Shigaraki apart.
"Me and Todoroki are already there!" Kirishima's voice comes through, slightly shaky, making my fists clench in anger. "This… guys, be ready for the sight. This shit is… It will stick with us." He breathes out as the others all confirm that they are going there or are already there, making me boost myself forward even faster.
Good thing I asked Mei for a way to communicate with all of my classmates in case of emergencies while out on the field.
"You all, be careful and don't hold back. I want you all back at the dorms, alright?" I breathe out softly. "Keep the communications open just in case you need assistance." I remind them all before focusing back on Rumi as they all give me the affirmative and I lower myself so to land beside a scowling Mirko.
"We need to split up and cover more ground." I nod as I glance down at the street below, with people and cars just flowing through constantly, all running away from Hosu and the disaster that is currently happening there.
"Those things aren't human. Go for the head." I tell her, receiving a quick nod before she blasts off, and I send one last glance at the people below before doing the same.
The clouds above were pitch black and lit up by the massive fires down below, giving the city of Hosu a horrifying eerie look that just made my fury soar.
I flew across the sky as my eyes moved around, taking in everything and all the strange yet similar Nomus. They were all the same, the exact same looks. They weren't like those in the anime, and they were in the hundreds if not thousands!
I grit my teeth in fury as I scan the city in search of my prey, and I finally find the fucker, because of course he wouldn't miss out on staring at the destruction.
They were standing on top of one of the largest buildings in the city, and they had their backs turned on me.
Only reason I am not joining the fray and aiming for them is because maybe if I attack Shigaraki, I can take the attention of all those Nomus away from the Heroes and civilians so to reduce the number of casualties.
Plus I can't go all out with people around! I'd risk killing people by accident!
I kick the amplifier up to fifteen, then blast myself towards Shigaraki and Kurogiri with murder in my eyes.
He barely manages to fully turn around before my fists sinks into his stomach and blasts him down towards one of the buildings a few blocks away.
I'm not done with him yet, but first-
"Boom." The entire building crumbles as I give Kurogiri the middle finger, his whole body blurring as the sonic blasts hits him point blank and sends him flying far into the distance. I don't know if that killed him, but I don't give a fuck.
I'm after Shigaraki's head.
XxX
He barely managed to stand before an armored hand grabbed his hair and slammed his head into the wall with enough force to make it crumble and make him see stars, a wheeze of pain escaping his chapped lips as the severed hand covering fell to the floor.
His assailant lets go of his hair and makes him crumble to his knees, allowing him to vomit blood and his lunch as his shaky eyes focus on the severed hand of his father.
His hands shakily reach for it, but then he freezes when an armored boot stomps on it, shattering it into pieces right in front of his eyes.
"Get up." He lifts his eyes to stare into the pitch black eyes of the girl that utterly destroyed the Nomu at the USJ, making his stomach drop as he cursed his horrible luck. "I need to hurt you a lot more before I am satisfied." She spits, and the veins on his neck and temples bulge.
A feral scream of pure rage flows out of his bloodied lips as he stands and reaches for her face with his fingers, only for her fist to sink into his cheek and send him flying through several more walls.
But he ignored the pain and stood up once more, arms stretched by his side as he snarled at her.
Yet she merely sneers at him with clear disgust in her eyes.
"How does it feel like to need puppets to do your fucking job huh?!" She sneers at him again, making him pause as she spreads her arms to her side in a mocking gesture.
"You needed one to try and kill All Might, and now you need another to bring chaos. This ain't none of your doing. You're fucking useless. Pathetic." She spits at him, and the fury flowing through his veins starts growing even more, his fingers twitching by his side. "Nobody even knows you fucking exist, you're no Villain, you're a fucking nobody!" That was the last straw, and another feral scream of fury flows out of his lips as he charges at her.
And she lets him come in.
His hand was moved aside, and fist was delivered to his side, making him hack up blood and nearly pass out as his ribs cracked under the force of her blow… But the fury in his body kept him awake, and it kept growing.
"I fucking hate you!" He screams before his head was whipped to the side by a punch that sent some of his teeth flying.
He doesn't care that Sensei doesn't want him to not harm her.
He doesn't care about All Might anymore for now.
He only wants to see her crumble and turn to ash beneath his finger!
His anger only kept growing as each of his attacks was deviated and retaliated with ease, bringing further pain to his body as more and more blood flows out of his lips and nostrils through wet coughs.
He snarls as she kicks him across the crumbling hall of the building they were in, and he slams his hands on the ground, decaying the ground as she charges at him, only to nearly lose her footing when the building tilts and starts to crumble.
A bloody grin spreads across his face as he launches himself at her, wanting to use that chance to strike at her- only for her to whirl towards him and for her right fist to sink into the left side of his head, warping it slightly and making his eyeball explode from the force of impact.
A sonic boom makes him blank out for a second as he is sent flying through the crumbling building, plus several others, his body twisting several times as some of his fingers and more of his bones broke on impact.
He rolls to a stop in the middle of a destroyed street full of flaming cars and a few corpses of civilians and Heroes, his hand coming up to cup at the left side of his face, a whimper of pain escaping his lips as he slowly stood.
Only for her to land on the ground not even a few meters ahead of him, completely unharmed, her armor casting an eerie light purple on her half visible face and hair.
"Look what you've done to my face…" He couldn't help himself. He laughed at her. "And back at the USJ too… You killed oh so easily, and are so ready to kill me too." His breathing speeds up as he stomps his foot on the ground out of sheer anger, hating how unfair everything is.
How her powers are so unfair.
How his sensei is more interested in her than him now.
How his first real mission was ruined by her.
How the whole of fucking Japan talks about her!
He hates her with a passion! And now she is back to ruin his second official mission!
"You're supposed to be a Hero, aren't you!?" He screams at her, and freezes when she chuckles loudly.
"Yeah, not yours though." She steps forward, and he takes a shaky step back. "I'm going to be a Hero for those afraid of filth like you." She takes a few more steps forward, and he takes just as many steps back. "As for what I am to you… I'm going to be your fucking nightmare." And then she's on him.
Her fist sinks into his stomach, bending him over her arm and making him vomit blood before he is thrown against the wall of the building behind him.
But she doesn't stop.
Her fists crash against his skull, his sides, his chest, his stomach. Blood and teeth fly everywhere while the sound of bones shattering is covered by the loud crackling of flames and the loud blaring of the sirens.
He tries to retaliate, but then his hands were crushed to a pulp.
No matter what he tried, he was smashed back into the wall violently, his right arm getting bent in ways that shouldn't be possible before her claw-like gauntlets roughly dig into his hair, then bring his face down.
Her armored knee smashes into his face with enough force to shatter his nose, causing even more blood to pour down his face.
And she doesn't stop.
Her knee crashes into his face over and over, each time with more strength than before.
And then his head is smashed back into the wall before a punch sends his broken and bruised form down the street.
"You always ruin everything…" He spits out, trying to stand with his only working arm, yet with a broken and ruined hand. His remaining eye burning with rage and glaring towards the approaching armored figure.
Neither of them notice a drone flying above them, a camera pointed right at them.
"If I don't kill you… you will always ruin everything… I just know it…" Blood and spittle pour down his chin, his face warped and swollen from the beating he just got, giving him an even more terrifying appearance. "I hate it! I hate you! I know that if you'll live, I won't be able to accomplish anything! I won't be able to destroy anything!" He howls through broken and missing teeth, broken and twisted fingers rising to scratch at his now burning itches on his neck and face, bringing him even more horrifying pain.
"I don't give a fuck about your problems. About your ideals and ambitions." Interstellar sneers, her boots turning the concrete under her into powder with each one of her steps, her eyes lingering on the corpses around the street, her bloodied fists clenching by her side.
"This is what makes us Heroes and Villains. This is what makes us Heroes! We are trained soldiers! How many Heroes do you see giving a shit about Villains motives? This is how the government wants us to be, so this is how we'll be!" His eyes widen, and the burning fury within him chills, then comes back as a roaring inferno as Interstellar lifts her fists. "So put your fucking fists up and grit your teeth, because you ain't walking away from here alive." And then the inferno fades, replaced by endless fear.
She was going to kill him.
And he has no power to stop her.
He screams, but not of fury, but out of fear, and turns tail to limp down the street. "Kurogiri!" He screams, hoping the warper would be able to find him, making Interstellar sneer at him, then bend her knees.
"Guys, I have the Hero Killer in front of me. Help would be appreciated."
Only to stop when Sato's voice came through her shared channel with her class, sending chills down her spine.
"Sato! Me, Mina and Nejire are close by! Don't engage directly and just stall him!" Ochako's panicked voice came in through the channel, and Kyoka released a slight breath of relief.
They'll make it. They have to.
XxX
"Todoroki! You holding up fine on your own?!" Crusts worried voice came in through his headpiece, and he taps it a few times as he stares at the hordes of frozen Nomus around him.
He had been separated from Crust and Kirishima when a truck with a gas tank exploded and made several buildings crumble in-between them. He could have used his ice to scale over it, but decided not to since there were people and other Heroes in need of help, and he was also near one of the shelters.
Well, he wasn't the only one to get separated. He heard several of his classmates ended up getting split off due to the sheer number of Nomus and the civilians just swarming over them.
"I think I'm close to their Origin Point since there's hundreds of them around the place." He hums, then lifts his gaze to see that even more of them had appeared now, all standing on top of buildings and looking down at him with their emotionless faces and eyes.
"You aren't wrong about that." A lazy voice answers him before a sea of blue fire swallows the buildings and the Nomus, turning them to ashes in just a few seconds. "And I suggest not getting any closer." Todoroki slowly turns his gaze down the street, where a tall man in a white shirt, black coat and baggy pants with baggy hair and bright blue eyes was approaching him with his hands in his pocket.
Why did he look so familiar?
"Here to help?" Todoroki tilts his head with narrowed eyes, and the man gives a lazy shrug, then narrows his eyes back at the crumbling flaming buildings.
"Just making sure you don't die on me." He raises a brow at the unknown man, but then tenses when several large figures smash on the ground around them.
Out of the dust walk out ten Nomus, still similar to all the others, but a lot bigger and with the skin having now taken a Silver like hue.
"Looks like the bad boys are out now. You might want to bring out the big guns." The man grunts and brings his hands out of his pocket, the temperature skyrocketing and the air warping around him as his hands are soon coated by bright blue flames.
"If you say so…" Todoroki found himself trusting the man's words, and soon the temperature started to fluctuate as his cyan flames flowed out of his body and swallowed the whole city.
His armor and sword soon appeared too, and he slowly entered his stance as the ten Nomus finally took a step forward.
Then moved.
He swung his sword by instinct towards his left, blocking a large fist and repelling it back with a heatwave blast, yet scoffed when the destroyed limb came back in just a few seconds.
"Don't lose focus!" The man shouts, a bright blazing blast of fire swallowing a Nomu that had appeared behind him, sending it back and nearly turning it completely to ash, yet it swiftly recovered and came back to join the others.
Todoroki's eyes narrow towards the ten Nomus, knowing that this will be a rather difficult fight, but he won't back down since one of the shelters is close by.
"Guys, I have the Hero Killer in front of me. Help would be appreciated."
Nevermind, he doesn't have time to hold back or play around.
His sword roars and glows with the brightness and heat of a star, making the man behind him raise a brow, then grin. "Guess I better get serious too." He chuckles aloud before the heat of his own flames reaches insane levels, the asphalt and building around them starting to melt beneath the sheer heat created by them.
The faceless Nomu's flinch back as burns start to cover their silver bodies, but that doesn't stop them from charging forth once more.
Todoroki ducks beneath a punch and slashes the attacking Nomu in half, searing the wound shut with his cyan flames before dropping the temperatures and instantly freezing the two approaching Nomus.
The man behind him used that as his cue and raised the heat once more, releasing an immense blast of blue flames that turned the severed Nomu and the two frozen ones to ashes instantly.
Todoroki flips around as the Nomus in front of him are turned to ashes and lowers the temperatures once more while raising his blade, then slashes it down to create an immense storm of icy winds and ice shards that shredded and froze an approaching Nomu apart.
"I couldn't be more proud!" The man chuckles, and Todoroki finds himself smiling a bit. It was stupid of him… but for some reason he feels like he knows who this person is. They are just far too similar… yet…
Dabi stretches his flaming hands to both sides, then releases massive blasts of blue fire that turn the nearby building into molten scrap while forcing the remaining Nomu's to back up and get in front of him.
Todoroki turns to face his same direction, and his armor fades alongside his sword, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the hundreds of Nomus, these ones the normal weak ones, all swarming towards them from behind the remaining Silver Nomus.
"Guess we need a big blast to take 'em all out…" Dabi hums, then turns to give him a grin. "Wanna do it together?" Todoroki turns his gaze towards him, then smiles and lifts his right hand.
His cyan flames mix with Dabi's roaring blue flames, the air around them warping and bending as the asphalt melts and glows white from the horrifying heat.
A head sized glowing white star of pure destructive heat soon came into being between their open hands, and with a roar, they launched it forward.
The star fades from view, and then a sonic boom roars into existence, blasting Dabi and Todoroki back while the blinding white projectile leaves a molten trench in it's wake for more than a hundred meters before it deviates and flies into the sky and fizzling out.
"Well damn…" Dabi whistles aloud at the destruction in front of him. "Doubt the shitty old man can do something like this." He sneers, then goes to stand and look towards Todoroki. "Good job little bro- Hero." He corrects himself before slipping, but the smile that spreads across Todoroki's slightly pale face showed him that he had heard the slip.
"Kyoka!" His smile soon drops when Ochako's distraught voice comes from his hidden earpiece.
"We didn't make it in time!" His classmates distraught voice instantly makes his stomach drop.
And then pure fury flooded through his veins.
Dabi could only flinch back as the entire city block started melting.

"This has to be the doing of that fool…" Stain hums as he pulls his blade out of the corpse of one of those weird creatures that are now tearing through the city, attacking anything and anyone in sight.
"That building…" His eyes narrow towards the tallest building in the city, an office building of sort. He's sure the creatures are flowing out of that building, but he isn't sure of that yet.
Not that he'd care.
"Come on, this way!" He perks up and turns his head to stare down the street, where several injured Heroes and a few dozen civilians poured out of a nearby building and down the street.
More filthy pretenders…
He goes to follow them, but his instincts suddenly blare, and he jumps to the side just in time to avoid a yellow meteor smashing into the ground.
"Damn it!" A… teenager, he presumes, in a yellow costume and with big lips comes out from the dust cloud while wiping a bit of blood off his face, eyes set in a harsh glare in his direction. "Don't even think of harming those people, Stain." The teenager warns and raises his fists while the Hero Hunter lifts his chipped and rusty Katanas.
"Guys, I have the Hero Killer in front of me. Help would be appreciated." The boy states nervously into the air, probably talking into an earpiece beneath his costume.
Still… back-up, huh? That would be annoying.
"You… You're from that Class 1-A… aren't you?" Stain hums out as he inspects the very large and well built teenager with critical eyes, then grins menacingly when he refuses to answer.
"Looks like one of my targets has served themselves to me!" He cackles madly, then charges towards the Hero in training with a very insane smile on his face.
"All of you will be purged by my own hands!"

"I told you to sit still boy!" Gran Torino shouts at him with a large amount of anger in his voice as his foot lashes out, kicking another Nomu's head into a bloody paste.
"Like hell I'm going to fucking sit still when I know I can make a difference! When my friends are out there!" Midoriya shouts right back at him, One for All flooding through his veins as he rockets through the entire city with Gran Torino right behind him
There we just so many Nomus and civilians! And Sato was in danger too!
"Kyoka!" Ochako's distraught voice makes his world slow down.
"We didn't make it in time!" Sato… Midoriya grits his teeth, pushing away the burning tears threatening to spill out of his eyes, and releases a scream of pure fury as he lashes out with a kick, 35% of One For All flooding through his body and releasing an immense blast of pure force and wind that tears the Nomus in front of him apart, shocking Gran Torino to his core.
"Young Midoriya!" Midoriya gasps as All Might lands heavily right beside him, his smile gone and eyes full of worries. The man had just arrived on the scene all the way from U.A., only to be greeted by this scene.
"All Might!" His tears finally start pouring down his cheek. "It's Sato! He-! The Hero Killer-!" All Might reels back in horror, then the horror turns to anger, and then to fury.
"Young Midoriya." The man rests his large hand on the boy's shoulder. "You're with me." Midoriya blinks away his tears, gulps, then takes a deep breath as he forces One for All to pour through his body at an even higher percentage.
Gran Torino could only stare in shock and awe as the surrounding buildings collapses under the sheer force of their take off, with hundreds of Nomu's falling every few seconds from their onslaught.

"This has to be the most horrific and greatest villain attack of the decade!" The voice of the reporter announced as Nighteye shakily held his teacup in his hands.
"All Might has come to the scene! And the Villains are joining with the Heroes to fight back those creatures! Whatever they are!" Another reporter from another news channel announced, with the dozens of TVs in front of him displaying a different Live Feed of the Hosu Disaster, as it's currently being called.
And then the whole city started shaking.
"W-What's going on now?! Is it an earthqu-"
"I'll fucking kill you alll-"
A distorted roar displaced the very clouds as a portion large portion of Hosu was atomized, a titanic cloud of dust and debris being thrown into the sky as the planes and drones lost control for a few seconds.
A static roar destroyed the massive pillar of dust and debris, the air and city starting to vibrate as entire buildings collapsed and turned into dust under the sheer power of the vibrations.
"The creatures!" Nighteye gulps, a horrible feeling filling his guts as many of the live feeds focused on the thousands of Nomus running in the direction of the explosion, all of them ignoring the Heroes, Villains and civilians in front of them.
Explosion after explosion caused the entire city to shake and quake as the source of it moved at incredible speeds, blasting through entire buildings and hordes.
"What is that in the sky?!" One of the cameras pointed towards the massive hole in the clouds left behind by the distorted roar, and towards the large flying drone and the massive painting that it had now unraveled.
And the girl in bright armor that just placed her fingers against it.
A blinding light filled the dark sky, and out of the painting walked out massive angels with platinum golden wings and weapons.
And then they descended upon Hosu, breaking the sound barrier and tearing through hordes of Nomus with ease.
Just what is going on…?
XxX
"Hecantoncheires!" Shigaraki screamed at the top of his lungs, while holding onto a Silver Nomu that was carrying him away. "Stop her! Kill her! Anything!" He begged as he threw a look back, only to scream in fright at the horrific sight.
Thousands of normal Nomus burst through buildings and jump over them, flooding the street to try and stop the moving monster that was coming after his life, but all they could was just stall her and become bloody smears on the ground as blood and limbs and broken corpses fly everywhere.
She had suddenly gone berserk and decimated a large portion of the city around them, and he had only been saved by a Silver Nomu reaching him just in time for help and bringing him away from the blast radius.
A sudden static screech sends chills down his spine, and the Silver Nomu carrying him threw him far ahead, all the way down the long street, just in time for an immense blast of sound to send the hundreds of Nomus swarming the area flying into the sky, with the closest one being completely vaporized.
The blast hits him hard, making him vomit even more blood as he is sent crashing through a collapsing building and down onto a destroyed street.
He whimpers and turns on his back, then tries to crawl away as Nomu corpses fall from the sky, splattering onto the asphalt and broken collapsed building.
He whimpers again when a figure coated in blood and holding the severed head of the Silver Nomu that was carrying him appears upon the hill of corpses and debris.
"I'm so going to enjoy killing you." He screams in pure terror as her crackling static voice reaches his ear, the horrifying killing intent pouring out of her sending chills down his spine.
It was like standing in front of Sensei!
He tries to move back, but she's on him instantly, and her armored boot smashes down on his broken left arm, making his scream of terror turn to one of pain.
She crouches down and grasps his broken wrist, then pulls.
The sound of tearing flesh was covered by his scream of pain, which intensified tenfold, all the way until he lost his voice.
Shigaraki could only roll on the ground and hold the bleeding stump where his left arm used to be as Interstellar glared coldly down at him.
"You don't deserve to live…" Her voice crackled and popped, the air around her starting to vibrate and bend as she clenched her fists, turning his severed arm to past. "I lost a friend because of you… You filth…" She lifts her boot above his head, and he closes his remaining eye, awaiting for death.
But it never came.
"Could you show him a bit of mercy, just this once?" He gasps and opens his eye as the familiar voice of his Sensei reaches his ears.
He turns his head to see him walk out of the surrounding cloud of dust after the previous blast that sent the Nomus flying, his arms crossed behind his back.
"If it isn't Japan's boogeyman…" Interstellar's voice crackled and popped as her boot came down to rest on his chest. "Here to get your puppet back?" The crackling deepened, and so did horrifying and chilling killing intent pouring out of her.
Neither she or Shigaraki could see the massive grin on All for One's face, hidden by his large menacing mask.
"More like… negotiate." All for One shrugs, and Interstellar hums, then crouches down to lift Shigaraki by his hair and drag him towards the pile of corpses and debris.
She threw him down on the ground and rested her feet on him, then set on a hunched over corpse of a Nomu and crossed her claw like fingers together.
"Alright then." Interstellar releases a crackling hum, her cold pitch black eyes staring straight towards All for One.
"Let's negotiate."
A.N. Yeaaaah… Y'all are gonna fucking hate me, I just know it. But oh well, as I said many times before 'Fuck canon.' It's gonna be my bitch.
Thank you to all of my s, and I apologize for this chapter! I love you all either way! Pat /SamuraiCheem
