Chapter 4:

"Wow," Midoriya said, his voice hushed mainly because of his awe. "Sensei's actually good at fighting by himself against a lot of people, huh?"

Aizawa-sensei, he's, he's awesome! Zach looked down in amazement from a little behind Midoriya, but not yet chasing after the rest of their evacuation class. That quip about not having just one trick to be a hero, that's exactly what I heard in all the training videos. As awesome as some heroes' Quirks are, they need to train in all different things to-

"This is no time for analysis," Iida called back to the two of them. Zach started stepping backwards, nodding his head before spinning and running as Iida kept calling back, "Hurry up and take shelter." Midoriya started running too, and they all ran as a whole class after Thirteen back down the long path from the doors to the top of the stairs. It did not seem as long while they were running it, but before they even got halfway, a black swirling vortex opened up in their path.

The blackish purple shadow guy from before shot out of the ground and rose up twice as tall as the tallest student. "Nice to meet you," he began, his yellow eyes his only feature other than the black mass swirling around him. "We are the League of Villains."

Never heard of them, Zach thought, but he was no less afraid knowing that it was an unknown group than he would be if they were well-known terrorists. "It may be presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves in to the home of heroes, U.A. high school, in order to have All Might, the Symbol of Peace, take his last breath."

Zach's breath caught in his throat, but his scared look started going away. They, what? His eyes narrowed and both fists clenched hard at his sides. They're crazy to come here with that- but, they're not. Todoroki said it, they're fools, but they're not dumb. If they came here knowing All Might would be here… Zach started breathing again, low and angry breaths while his fists clenched tighter and tighter. He had to release his right fist as it was clenching too hard, and he darted his eyes down to his right palm to make sure his nails didn't pierce his glove.

"I believe All Might should have been here. Has there been some kind of change?" The shadowy figure started stretching out to the sides and continued in his deep voice, "Well, that is neither here nor there. This is the part I am to play."

Zach started walking forward, but he was closer to the back of the group, and two others stepped out in front of Thirteen first. The teacher had just lifted an arm and popped open one of his fingers which he would be able to use his Quirk Black Hole through. Kirishima and Bakugo leapt up in the air first though. Kirishima slashed through the portal-user's body and Bakugo made a huge explosion into him, and smoke covered the area for a few seconds. Zach lifted his arms to cover his mouth, while staring forward in surprise that two others beat him to the punch. What was I going to do anyway? Tackle a shadow? Though now that I think about it, what would… His eyes started to widen as a low voice spoke over Kirishima's victorious taunt.

"Oh, that was dangerous," the shadowy figure reformed as the smoke and dust settled down. He had a silver brace around a portion of his shadowy body while his glowing yellow eyes re-emerged on the swirling shadows above it. "That's right. Even if you are students, you are excellent golden eggs."

"This is bad," Thirteen did not feel good about this situation and he shouted, "You two, move out of the way." Kirishima and Bakugo were in his way, and his power was too powerful and imprecise to use without getting them caught up in it.

"My job is to scatter you all and torture you to death!" The portal figure shouted before they could do anything. His body expanded and then shot forward, wrapping around the entire group in front of him. The purplish black cloud engulfed all of them like a wind pushing against them, and only Iida escaped it with a few others. Tenya looked back behind him with the two he pulled out of there, and he shouted at the dome of dark purple shadows, "Everyone!"

Zach heard the shout, but it sounded like it was getting fainter towards the end. Scatter us? Is this- he lowered his arms and got ready to run, but he no longer felt a solid ground beneath his feet. Everything was pitch black and he felt terrified, and then he started falling. The portal that he was falling from was over ten feet off the ground, but Zach swung his arms around and tried flipping himself to land safely. He dropped down on his left knee and right foot, punching his hand down too as he did. He stared down at the floor where he just landed, surprised by how little that hurt. He had focused his landing on areas that he also used for fighting, which meant there were shock-absorbing paddings on the inside of his costume for when he used his martial arts' attacks.

The boy with spiky black hair lifted his head and glared ahead. He thought about what the portal guy said, and he glared straight at the man closest to him. Zach had seen them when he fell out of the air, all over the rocky area around him. I'm in the Mountain Zone, across the building. Where is everyone? Thoughts were racing through Zach's head as he got up to his left foot too, taking his left hand off the floor in front of where his knee had been bent. He glared at the villain in front of him who did not like the way the boy perfectly executed that hero landing, but the villain started smirking as someone crashed into the floor right on his butt and back to Zach's right.

"Yow!" Kaminari exclaimed, sitting up and rubbing the back of his head that also hit down pretty hard. He panicked at the sight around him and jumped up to his feet, then he jumped backwards as a villain near him ran forward and tried swinging a huge rock down at him he was holding with a stretching arm. Kaminari dodged it, but the smash was loud and it scared the blond boy who realized he would have been crushed if he had stayed there. Even worse, the stretching man pulled the rock back to do it again. While that guy brought his arm back though, another villain charged at Kaminari, a fast one with razor-sharp claws sticking out of her furry yellow hands.

Kaminari's eyes opened wide and he started surrounding himself in electricity, only to never get the chance to shock the woman as a foot slammed into the side of her head and sent her off course lifting off the ground. Zach spun around after landing the kick and landed in front of Kaminari facing the other villains. "What is going on?!" Kaminari shouted, right as two girls jumped down from on some rocks above and behind them, Yaoyorozu holding a long metal staff, and Jirou holding a short sword that her classmate had just made for her with her Quirk, Creation.

All the villains charged at once right as the girls jumped out to help their male classmates. "What is with these guys?!" Kaminari yelled while jumping backwards away from a guy slashing a sword at him. Jirou moved forward and swiped her own, making the villain jump back, then the girl with short hair and earphone-jacks for earlobes had to dive to the side as someone fired a projectile at her. It was not the fastest moving, but it was large and almost hit her as she ducked. It slammed into the rock cliff behind her, then Yaoyorozu ran over and swung her staff to protect Jirou who had yet to get up.

These villains, Zach thought while running straight towards a bulky man holding a war hammer, except that when he looked closer he saw that the man's arm itself turned into a hammer at the end. The guy lifted it up and slammed down at the kid running towards him, but Zach sidestepped to his right a small amount, then when the villain changed the direction to try and smash down at the boy dodging, Zach darted to his left while ducking. The hammer swung diagonally over the top of his body, hitting the ground on the right of where he would have been even if he had kept going straight. "There are certain areas of the body you should be especially careful attacking, as you could cause a lot of pain or even permanent injury. However, if the situation calls for it, these are also the same areas where people are most vulnerable." Zach stepped on the man's side so he did not have a clear shot at what would be the most vulnerable, as well as the spot he did not want to attack the most as it would make him feel like the villain in any situation. But here, he thought, while slamming forward his right elbow at the man he was about to run by.

He strafed the villain and kept running while bringing both arms back up, then the large man behind him dropped down to his knees. It took a second for the amount of pain to register to the guy who did not think the child would be able to do it, but as he felt the steel-plated elbow hit him in a kidney, he felt one of the worst pains of his life and could not help but let out a gasp of pain as he fell. His hammer had left a hole in the mountain zone and blasted rocks up with it when it smashed down, but the short kid who just ran by him dropped him in one blow.

He can still move, Zach thought. "Kaminari, zap him," he called out, while running back towards his classmates who were standing in a triangle formation and saying something to each other. Zach sprinted their way as he realized he was isolating himself from his only allies in the area, but he grimaced at the numbers surrounding them.

"I'm telling you I can't," he called out, the same thing he just told Jirou, though he had said it loudly enough that he thought Zach had heard. "All I can do-"

"Is be a stun baton," Jirou said with a smirk, right before kicking Kaminari in the back towards a villain who the boy had just dodged away from.

"What are you-" Zach changed directions to run towards Kaminari, but the blond boy started using his electricity and actually got the man Jirou pushed him into. The large boulder the guy with a stretching Quirk smashed down before came down again, but Jirou spun and her earlobe-headphone-jack connected to her boot, and she fired a condensed soundwave at the boulder that shattered it. The guy swinging his arm down wound up hitting Kaminari with it instead of with the rock, and Kaminari's electricity coursed through his arm all the way to his body.

Even as Kaminari took out a few others, Zach had to dodge to the side and then counter with a strong right hook into the villain's face. The thug got hit and stumbled back, but he grinned back towards the kid who stepped back at the sight of the man's face. He had left a red mark and there was some blood trickling out of the thug's nose, but if anything the guy just looked like he wanted to kill Zach more. Zach looked around and saw so many villains around them, More than I can handle! More than we can handle! He backed up another step, then Yaoyorozu yelled towards him, "Zach get near me!"

Zach spun and started sprinting her way. During their combat training, he had seen how smart their class vice president was. She analyzed the situations quickly, and even back during the first day of class he remembered how she had not been fooled like the rest of them by the expulsion warning. I knew she'd have a plan, he thought, and he saw Yaoyorozu hunch over and her back start to glow. Other villains around them looked towards the girl hesitantly, unsure as to what he power was since she had not shown it since arriving with the other female student.

They don't know her Quirk or they wouldn't just sit there and watch this, Zach thought as he spotted a villain near him stop instead of chasing him when he ran past. "It takes some time," Yaoyorozu said while the blanket popped up above her and shadowed over her and Jirou's heads. "To make something big," she finished, while the blanket spread out to its full size, easily large enough for three people to fit under. Right as it was about to fall over them, Zach dove and rolled under the sheet's edge. He got in the darkness beneath the sheet, and then Yaoyorozu lifted the edge a bit and said, "It's an insulation sheet 100 millimeters thick. Kaminari."

Yaoyorozu dropped the edge of the sheet back down, grinning just like the other two under the blanket with her. "Nice thinking," Zach said, right as Kaminari yelled outside the blanket.

"In that case… I can be really strong!"

Screams of all the villains outside reached the students under the sheet, and they each felt victorious as thuds followed those screams. The villains were dropping one by one, though as Yaoyorozu lifted the sheet, many of them were frozen where they were standing with smoke coming off of their bodies. A few more started collapsing, but as Yaoyorozu started, "Now then, I'm worried about the others-" Jirou spun to Zach and yelled at him.

"Look away!" Zach's face was red and his eyes huge, and his hands shot up to cover his eyes even though Jirou had already gotten in between him and Yaoyorozu. Jirou spun back to the other girl and said, "Your clothes!"

Yaoyorozu nodded, then looked back at Jirou and said, "I can make them again." Her smile then lowered down as she looked at the boy behind Jirou, then back down at her chest. She had only thought of the problem of repairing her destroyed shirt, not the other inherent problem her power was going to cause. Yaoyorozu's eyes shot open wide and she spun from Jirou and Zach, which only made Jirou more nervous.

"Kaminari don't look over here!" Jirou shouted, then they all looked out at their fellow classmate in confusion, because he was walking around out there with a shit-eating grin on his blank expression. Yaoyorozu quickly repaired her shirt then shot up to her feet, and the other two followed her up. Jirou and Zach walked towards Kaminari who had both of his thumbs stuck up, some blood trickling out of his nose, and he was saying 'wee wee weeee!' over and over again.

"Guess he, blew a fuse, or something," Zach mumbled, his cheeks still red as he avoided looking towards Yaoyorozu.

"And he was already an idiot," Jirou added, smirking at the way he looked now.

"Alright, you two," Yaoyorozu said as she looked at them. She did not include Kaminari in the upcoming conversation, because she doubted he would be able to understand it as he was now. The blond boy just kept pacing about while looking like an idiot, while Yaoyorozu spoke to the two who could still handle themselves. "We need to figure out the situation of the rest of the class. If we were sent here, then there's a chance the others were scattered to the other zones."

"Some of the others aren't as capable in fighting situations," Jirou said. She did not mean it as an insult, more she was saying it in a concerned way. "So we should move fast in case they're barely holding off the villains."

Check another area? But, when we know where so many of them are, Zach turned his head and started walking towards the part of the Mountain Zone they were on that had a better view over more of the room. The girls wanted to say something to him about how he wordlessly started walking away, but they saw where he was going and figured that was a smart move to get a look around. If their leaders really think they can beat All Might, that means, they must really have something strong. Something that even Aizawa sensei couldn't handle…

Jirou at that moment started talking about the villain's plan too, and Yaoyorozu turned to her to listen. Both were no longer holding the weapons Yaoyorozu had made for them, because they thought that they had defeated all the villains. That was why the two girls were so confused when Zach spun around and started sprinting the other way, his eyes huge and his fists lifting up. I should have guessed it. With so many weak villains like this, there have to be more who are actually strong in this group if they've managed all this. If they have enough power to think they can beat All Might, then of course, he sprinted as fast as he could towards Kaminari and the villain who had been sneaking up on him.

The villain moved faster when he was seen. "Kaminari!" The idiot who still did not notice the man right behind him spun at the sound of that shout, and then his blank eyes opened wider as he was shoved hard in the side and pushed out of the way. The villain's hand passed Kaminari, but quickly changed directions for the other boy. Zach lifted his head with wide eyes, fear all over his face as the villain in a skull mask looked down through the eye-holes at him.

"You're real good in a close combat fight," the man said, right before Zach screamed out in agony.

The villain's other hand shot down and hit Zach in the back, while the one he had reached forward originally wrapped around the boy's neck and yanked him up. He never gave Zach the time to get back in a fighting stance, or to try and come up with a way to fight him. Zach had pushed Kaminari out of the way, and the villain gained a different hostage. "It's bad luck kid," the villain said while lifting him and turning to face the girls who had started running his way. "Don't move," he said, taking his other hand from behind Zach's back and putting it close to the side of the boy's head. One arm was wrapped around Zach's neck, the other started sparking electricity near his right ear so close that he could feel sparks.

Yaoyorozu and Jirou froze, while Kaminari looked up in confused fear from the ground a few feet away from the villain's feet. He started getting up, and Yaoyorozu shouted, "He doesn't know-"

"I know," the villain said, stopping the girl from panicking and trying something which he knew she might do if she thought he was about to kill Zach. "That's why I went for him. I'd rather not hurt an electricity-type like myself, and I wouldn't have to with him in that state. Not like this one." He said it and the girls looking the villain's way looked back at the hand sparking electricity next to Zach's face. They looked at the blood on it and then back at the boy who was constantly wincing in pain while also darting his eyes to the bloody hand next to him that was so close to frying his brain.

I'm scared. This is bad. He's going to kill me. How bad is my back? It hurts. What do I do? If I start moving my arms he'll kill me. If they try anything he'll kill me! "If you two use your Quirks, I'll kill this guy," the villain said, and Zach's fear skyrocketed at how calmly the man said it. There was no hesitation in his voice, he just claimed that he was going to do it and none of them doubted him.

"Zach," Yaoyorozu said, her voice pained. She did not know what to do, as she wanted to help him but knew moving would have the opposite effect. Her eyes darted over to Kaminari, but he was useless in the situation after discharging so much electricity.

What's he doing? What are they doing? They're not moving, to save me. But, he's- The villain started walking forward as the girls put their hands up. He's going to kill them! He's just getting close, then he'll kill them, then he'll kill me! "If neither of you move, I'll let him go," the masked man said. No he won't! Try something! One of you, just try-

"Electric-types like you and Kaminari are natural-born winners, right?" Jirou began, and the villain stopped walking. What is she doing? Zach thought in panic, though the villain did stop moving to listen to her. "I mean, even if you aren't a hero, there are a ton of jobs…"

It won't work. I can tell what you're doing, I can see your earphone jack! He's experienced! He has us exactly where he wants us! Someone- someone? Why am I waiting for someone to come? "I swear All Might, I'll become a hero. I'll do it without ever using my power to hurt someone!" No! I can't consider that. Even in, this… situation? "Ah!" Zach pulled his head away as the villain moved his bloody sparking hand right up in front of his face.

"Give it up," the man said. "Did you think I really hadn't noticed?" Jirou's headphone jack retracted and stayed in front of her where the villain could see, and all she could do was grind her teeth as her plan was seen through with ease. "A kid's naive thinking only works on dumb adults. Novice heroes shouldn't make light of hostages." Zach's eyes opened even wider and his breath caught up in his throat, his whole body tensing up. "If you two don't put up a fight, I'll let him go."

Both Jirou and Yaoyorozu started sweating worse but they kept their hands lifted as the villain started walking forward. "Someone else's life, or your own? Hahaha," he started laughing and Zach bit down as hard as he could.

Taking it lightly, is that what I'm doing? My life our theirs? That's what it means to face villains! That's what it means to be a hero! His right hand started moving at his side, his thumb curling in while his middle finger did the same. But I can't- his fingers hesitated, but the villain took another step and they moved again. The other villains are getting up, no one is coming to save us! I have to! His thumb pushed up against the material on the bottom of his middle finger, and he dug his fingernail in as hard as he could. He knew it would work because of incidents that had happened in the past which showed him how weak his gloves could be, despite their power-negating qualities. They were made so that he could use his right hand like a normal person, not to be a cage for his hand that he could not get off.

The fabric on his glove started to rip over his middle finger, and Yaoyorozu spotted what he was doing out the corners of her eyes. She did not turn this time though, afraid that by noticing Jirou's attempt at stopping the villain earlier, she had given it away to him what she was doing. Does Zach, have a Quirk? Yaoyorozu wondered, something she had wondered many times but never gotten a clear answer. Can it save us? If so, why does he look so… The entire building shook and the girls darted their eyes around, but they returned them to their enemy just as fast as the man did not react in the same way and just kept moving towards them, his terrified passenger twitching his right hand the whole time.

Jirou got confused by the look on Zach's face, the regret and the guilt coming over it and making him look like he was in so much more pain than just when the villain had attacked him. The villain glanced down at the boy's face that he pulled back using his arm, though he was acting like he was just tightening his hold to make the girls stay where they were. Zach looked up through the holes in the villain's mask and his hand stopped moving. He looked into the eyes of the villain, but this time he did not see a villain's eyes looking back at him. He saw a person's eyes. His right hand trembled as he imagined that day. He remembered how his mom had taken his hand, how she had held it so tightly, and how it had slid out of his grasp when she collapsed.

Tears filled Zach's eyes. I can't- The villain took another step. In his eyes he could see the girls. He could see them staring at him in fear, in confusion. Neither of them, just like him, knew what to do. They couldn't do a thing though. They were stuck like that, because they wanted to protect him. They were letting the villain walk straight up to them, to protect him. "Now," the villain said, looking up at the two girls and smirking at them. "Don't move."

Zach's eyes shot open wide and he opened his mouth, "AHH-"

The girls gasped, and Zach gasped, and the villain behind them started falling forward with two holes in his shoulders and blood splashing out of them. Zach started turning his head back as he fell, his tears still streaming, his mind blanking at the sight of the villain dropping. "This attack," Jirou said. The other villains realized it too, and all of them looked the other way towards the very front of the building and the doors they could just see. They could not see the middle section of the room, but the doors were visible where they spotted a line of teachers. The sight of those teachers made the other villains who had been getting up around them start backing up, and the ones who could move started scattering.

"The teachers," Jirou's smile grew huge. "That was Snipe-sensei's-"

"AHHHHH!" Zach brought his hands up to the sides of his head and let out a scream.

Across the room, Snipe lowered the gun he had fired towards the Mountain Zone. He cursed under his breath and clenched his gun so much harder. I was, too…

Zach turned his head and looked at the man who had been shot in the arms, forced to drop him. He stopped screaming and scrambled back on all fours to the man, and he reached in with his left hand and grabbed the man's mask, pulling it off. "H-Hey Zach," Jirou began, thinking he was about to do something stupid.

Yaoyorozu took a step forward, lifting her hand and opening her mouth to say something. Then she saw the man's face when Zach took his mask off.

"No no no no no," Zach stared at the eyes of the man lying there, half-open. He thought about the feeling he had when his right hand touched the man behind him, when the skin of his middle finger touched his opponent. For a second after he first screamed, he thought that maybe the man's clothes would have made his power fail. It was something he thought about when considering it, but he had decided to ignore since he would not risk it unless he was determined, and if it failed after he would have to figure something else out. It did not fail though.

"Whoa, wh-what is," Jirou stared at the guy's lifeless face, and her heart started racing as she looked from it to the boy who fell back on his butt and put his left hand up to the side of his head. Snipe-sensei's attack, is aimed for non-vital areas. So, so why did he- die? She stared straight at Zach, then the boy looked down to his right while lowering his hand in front of him.

He does have a Quirk, Yaoyorozu thought, but her bottom lip started trembling as she saw the look on his face. He, wants to be a hero. With a Quirk like that?

Zach stared at his hand, at the skin of his middle finger and at the rest of it. He watched as his skin returned from pitch black to his normal skin tone. He kept staring at it, and his face twisted in anger at the sight of the man just in front of him. "I hate you," he whispered, before scrambling up on his knees and grabbing his right hand as hard as he could with his left. He grabbed himself by the wrist as if strangling it, but when that didn't do anything, he balled his right hand into a fist and punched it straight down. "Raaa!" He yelled, before pulling back and slamming it down again. Zach smashed his forehead into the floor because the pain was so much that he tried to stop himself, then he kept punching his fist down over and over again. He must have punched a dozen times before he felt the arms grabbing him. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" He screamed, diving forward instead of getting mad at the two behind him who ran up and tried to stop him.

As soon as he yelled it, Jirou stumbled backwards and then fell on her butt. She pushed her hands on the ground in front of her to move even farther back, because in that shout she did not hear anger at all like she expected he would be with them for trying to stop him. Instead, he sounded terrified. Jirou's heart clenched up and her body covered in sweat, because she realized she just touched the boy who apparently killed the villain with that right hand of his. She had grabbed his right shoulder and upper arm to try and stop him, and she started panting heavily as she saw her life flashing before her eyes.

Yaoyorozu stood closer to Zach even after he shouted it. The boy scrambled back to his feet and spun to stare at the girls behind him, his eyes huge. Not just Jirou and Yaoyorozu, but also Kaminari who looked to be regaining some semblance of sanity as he was back on his feet, were staring at him with wide eyes. Jirou had a terrified look in her eyes, while Yaoyorozu looked down at Zach's hand and said in a stern voice, "Stop it. You're hurting yourself."

Zach looked back down at his right hand and his face twisted in rage, even at the sight of his broken fingers. His glove was ripped up and the last pieces of it fell off as he clenched that had into a fist so tightly his nails cut into his palm. His broken fingers hurt, his forehead too where there was blood trickling out of a shallow cut in it and down right over his eyes. But what hurt the most, was the sight of the man lying on the floor in front of him, between him and his classmates. The teachers came. They came! I was too hasty! I killed a man. I killed someone. I killed a person! FOR NOTHING! The tears filled his eyes and he turned his head to the right.

The boy with short spiky black hair looked to his right and out over USJ. They stood in the Mountain Zone, and he started walking that way. He took two steps, then he froze. He froze while lowering his gaze down to the cliff edge he was nearing. What am I… he stepped back, and he fell to his butt. He brought his knees up to his chest and hugged them with one arm, lifting his other and covering his eyes with it. Kaminari and Yaoyorozu's eyes opened wide as she stared at Zach's back, as his white costume had turned very red below the hole at the top of it close to his left shoulder-blade. Yaoyorozu had completely forgotten about the villain's first blow he got in before taking Zach hostage, and she started running towards the boy's back.

She stopped before getting too close though, and her hesitation made it hard to start making bandages like she had planned. "Zach," she began softly. "It's just your right hand, right? I can touch your back?"

Two figures shot up the side of the cliff and landed in between Zach and the others. Yaoyorozu leaned back, but the scary man in front of her in a pitch black costume was someone she recognized and relaxed after getting a good look at him. "Ectoplasm-sensei-" Kaminari began calling out. Two versions of their teacher who could clone himself had landed in the Mountain Zone, but the one who landed closer to Zach leaned down and picked up the boy curled up there. "H-Hey," Kaminari took a step forward. "What are-"

"I'll get him to safety first," the Ectoplasm closer to them said, while the other flew off carrying their classmate.

It's just a clone, Zach thought as he lowered his arm to look up at the teacher holding him. Back on the mountain, the other Ectoplasm looked down at the body of a man whose eyes were half-open, and the other version flying away with Zach shifted his gaze to the kid looking back at him. If I touch him, when we're this high up, Zach's right hand twitched, but he clenched it into a fist and clenched his eyes shut in pain. Why do I keep- for the first time since- why do I keep thinking about doing it?

A/N Thanks for reading. Leave a review below.

Guest chapter 3 . 4h ago

AceHavok010
Like the premise of the story but I can only imagine that it's the same quirk that Tomura has which is fine but add a scene of them interacting or in some shape or form. For advice and constructive criticism, bring up your vocabulary a bit and spice things up once in a while. Also, develop a style because usually some of the best OC characters have some kind of quirks to their personality. Pun totally intended. Recommendation for that is make him a lot more timid or flinching a lot. Quiet. Stuff that you should stop is the over abundance of flashbacks, there's way too many

Well, we finally get a look at Zach's Death Quirk this chapter. Thanks for the advice(s) in your reviews. I don't really enjoy writing characters who have those kind of quirky personalities, just it seems like a forced way of making a character seem a certain way, or to tell readers what their personality is instead of showing it build up through the chapters. It's why I dislike writing Sanji's character in fanfics, as if he doesn't start shouting about ladies or making a scene when a girl shows up it becomes OOC for him. So Zach's character's personality might not be fully revealed yet, as it shouldn't be since the first few chapters really did focus more on his backstory than the present. Anyway, less (no) flashbacks this chapter, and I hope you keep reading! Thanks for the reviews!

Roxas Itsuka chapter 3 . 15m ago

This is a really good story. It's interesting to see someone with a quirk they despise and yet they still try to be a hero. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed! Haha it's only been fifteen minutes but here's the next chapter! Thanks for the review!
