UA's Saiyan Heroes
"I still don't see why we're out here. Stain hasn't made an appearance in Hosu since Ingenium, and I'm not sensing anyone with blood lust, and we've been at this since I first got here yesterday." Kaen said, patrolling with Mirko, his hero suit, having the addition of his shield on his back between his shoulder blades, and a weapon in a holster on the small of his back.
"That doesn't matter." Mirko said. "A true hero, is someone who never gives up. Even if we don't find him today, I'm certain we'll find Stain someday."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Kaen said. "But still, I can't help feeling something is amiss."
"If your guts telling you something's wrong, then you're probably worried about your situation at home." Mirko said.
"The only thing going on at home, is my Aunt, who I thought long dead, is currently staying with my folks. Not to mention, I'm still not on talker terms with my father." Kaen said.
"Hey, Super Saiyan. Clear your head out. When you're on the streets, protecting the people, you can't allow personal matters to distract you. That's why I chose to work alone, and never form a team with other heroes." Mirko said, smacking him upside the back of the head.
"Speaking of… why is it you broke that mindset, by taking me on as an intern. An' don't tell me the same stuff you told me back at the hotel. You and I both know, that ain't the real reason." Kaen said.
"Perceptive little bastard aren't ya?" Mirko smirked. "Your right. I do have a bit of an ulterior motive. From what I understand, you've already got a provisional license. An' you're skilled at martial arts. I'm wanting to see your abilities in action, and judge for myself how strong you are."
"You didn't get enough from watching the Sports Festival?" Kaen asked.
"I wanna see it in person, seeing it on TV just won't cut it." Mirko said.
"Fine, but if we find Stain, you're gonna see just how powerful I am." Kaen stated.
~Gine/Toshinori~
"So has Kaen made it to his internship?" Toshinori asked, handing Gine a cup of coffee.
"He has, he sent me a text saying he got there just fine." Gine said accepting the coffee from her husband. "Though he said that her agency, was just a hotel lobby."
"That's Mirko for you. She doesn't have an official stationary office. She's always traveling all over Japan to do her hero work, so we can probably expect her to take Kaen across the country during the internship." Toshinori explained.
"I really hope that doesn't happen." Gine said.
"It might."
"So, is there any reason why Kaen hasn't been coming to visit before the Internships started?" Fasha questioned, dressed in a spaghetti strap top, and basketball shorts.
"Kaen and I aren't really on speaking terms. An' quite recently, Athena's stopped speaking to me as well." Toshinori sighed, sitting next to Gine. "For Kaen, the reason is kinda simple, I had crushed the dreams of his friend, Izumi Midoriya, when I myself had been in the same predicament as her, at her age. So, he's avoiding me at all costs, which includes not coming over to the Beach House to visit, while our house is being rebuilt."
"Yikes, no wonder he's not talking to you. But I mean, why rebuild your house, when this one is so much closer to where you both work?" Fasha inquired.
"It's a bit complicated, but we're hoping to keep that a secret, and surprise for when the time is right." Gine said.
"Right now, Kaen is currently taking care of a little girl he rescued from a villain after the USJ attack, and they're both currently living with his girlfriend and her mother." Toshinori stated. "Though, that's not gonna be able to last for very long."
"Speaking of Eri." Gine said, looking at her watch. "Tsuki should be dropping her off pretty soon for some bonding time with us while both Ashido and Kaen are at their Internships."
"It'll be nice to meet the little tyke." Fasha smiled.
"Speaking of, if you're gonna meet her, you need to put on something a bit more appropriate for a child to see you in." Toshinori said.
~Mina~
"Yeah mom, I'm doing fine… It's only the second day of my Internship… Yes I know, I'll keep an eye out for dad, and if he comes after me, I'm sure the hero I'm shadowing, will do what he can to protect me… I get it, and thanks for taking Eri to Kaen's parents. Love you, bye." Mina said, before hanging up her cell phone.
"Everything alright?" Edgeshot questioned.
"Yeah, it's just my mom. She's concerned that with Kaen not around, my dad might try something and kidnap me." Mina sighed, putting her phone away. "But if that happens, I have faith you'll protect me."
"That is my job as a hero." Edgeshot said.
"So, why aren't we in Hosu, looking for Stain like other heroes?" Mina asked.
"Hosu isn't the only place in Japan with crime. We're staying here, because we have crime to work through. Stain is quick and strong. I've faced off against him, and I don't wish for you to have to do the same." Edgeshot said.
"Because he might kill me?" Mina inquired.
"Yes. An' as a student under my care, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that happened."
"You're very sweet Edgeshot. An' I appreciate that you have my safety as your priority."
As Mina and Edgeshot continued to patrol the city, neither of them noticed the pair of goggled eyes, tracking their every move from the shadows of an alley.
~Athena/Ruby/Hatsume~
"I can't believe my stubborn asshole dad." Athena grumbled, sitting back on the Hatsume couch, with Ruby beside her, trying to keep the Saiyan girl calm.
"Easy, stress isn't good for babies. Or is it the other way for Saiyans?" Ruby pondered.
"No, aside from the length of gestation, Saiyan and human pregnancies are the…" Athena paused before she looked to Ruby, a shocked look on her face. "You know?"
"Kaen told us during the pool party dinner." Mei said, coming into the room with a glass of water. "I've actually known since before then, because I picked the lock for the shed, and saw your ship."
"Oh great, now I got this to deal with." Athena sighed.
"Let's deal with one thing at a time." Mei said. "Why are you so mad at your dad?"
"He signed a contract with Endeavor, basically putting Todoroki and I at the altar after we graduate from U.A in three years." Athena said.
"He signed a Quirk Marriage license?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, because Endeavor wants his grandkids to be as strong as All Might. An' if Todoroki and I sign said marriage license, he'll get his wish." Athena sighed.
"Does Endeavor know about Saiyans?"
"No. He thinks our appearances and strengths, are part of our Quirks." Athena said. "But it's because of that strength, he'll think our kids will be as strong as All Might."
"Did you have a say in this?" Mei inquired.
"I should have, but Endeavor had my dad sign it in secret."
"Then there might be a way to help you." Ruby smiled, pulling out her cell phone.
"Who are you calling?" Athena asked.
"Hey, Uncle Qrow?" Ruby asked. "Would you be able to make it to Musutafu sometime soon…? I have a friend, who's in need of your help, yeah it's a Quirk Marriage, and she wasn't present for signing the agreement, or get a say in if she's okay with the Quirk Marriage!"
"Her uncle?" Mei asked, the duo looking at each other.
"Don't look at me." Athena said.
"Alright thanks, we'll see you tomorrow." Ruby smiled, before hanging up.
"What's your uncle gonna do?" Athena asked.
"My Uncle Qrow is a lawyer. An' he specializes in the field of Arranged or Quirk Marriages." Ruby said.
"Wait, Qrow, as in Qrow Branwen, who's a world renowned Lawyer, and can win any case, even with out his Quirk, Bad Luck Charm?" Mei asked.
"You've heard of him?" Athena asked.
"My parents had to give him a call, because my cousin, was forced into a Quirk Marriage, back when I was five, my cousin was in his late teens, so we've got a large age gap between us. We were living in Shibuya at the time, so I don't remember much, I just remember he was so cool defending my cousin in court and won."
"Well you'll get to see him again, in 24 hours." Ruby smiled.
"As much fun as this is, talking about how I'm gonna win this, there's still one problem we need to address." Athena said.
"What's that?" Mei asked.
"Why the hell, did Kaen tell you about Saiyans?"
"That is a bit of a story." Ruby said.
"One with an interesting ending." Mei smiled.
"I'm not going anywhere." Athena said.
"Alright, prepare, for the story of the pool party." Ruby smirked.
~Izumi/Torino~
"Seriously girly, do you always rely on council from Kaen and All Might just to learn how to use your Quirk?" Gran Torino asked.
"Not always." Izumi smiled. "I've been able to handle a fight without their guidance on my own. But Kaen and All Might have been teaching me to fight."
"Glad to see he at least knows how to teach you proper combat." Gran Torino smirked.
Knock-knock-knock…
"Huh, who could that be? No one really comes to my agency anymore. Not since I retired." Gran Torino said.
"Open it and find out." Izumi said with a bit of a smile.
Gran Torino was planning on playing his usual dumb self, but the smile Izumi was giving him, was sending him the message that he probably shouldn't. Turning back to the door, he opened it, thinking it was some sort of salesman trying to pawn off another piece of junk to him, but when he opened the door, he stood there in shock, his walking stick dropping to the floor, as he met his gaze, with Nana Shimura's.
"Surprise old timer." Nana smiled. "Glad to see me?"
"S-Shimura?" Torino questioned. "You, you're awake, and out of your coma."
"I am, an' I have Kaen and his sister to thank for keeping me alive, and saving me from All-for-One's lair." Shimura said. "I've been awake for a while, since February actually."
"I can't believe this." Torino said. "
"Well, are you gonna let me in, or am I just gonna stand here all day?"
"Oh sorry, please come in. Midoriya and I were just going over her overall control of One-for-All. Toshinori seems to have taught her well." Torino said.
"You think All Might was the one who taught me proper control over One-for-All?" Izumi laughed. "Hell no. First lesson he gave me after the entrance exams, I broke both my arms. I'm not even kidding. Kaen taught me proper control, since One-for-All, flows similarly to Kaen and Athena's Ki control. Since he's had more control over that sort of technique than me, a lot longer. But more importantly, what are you doing here? Neither Kaen or All Might mentioned anything about you coming by my internship."
"I came by to see my old friend. But I also have a warning." Shimura said. "If you go out on a patrol, be careful if you go to Hosu, Stain's still at large, and no one is certain on where he is."
"We'll be stopping by Hosu tomorrow on our way to where we'll be doing more of Midoriya's hero training with some actual hands on experience. You can probably check in with them if you want while we wait for our transfer." Torino exclaimed. "You're more than welcome to join us Shimura. That is if those years of comatose haven't taken away your skills or dulled your senses."
"Thanks, but I think I'll stay behind. My hero license has long been expired, so any hero work I do would be considered illegal vigilante work." Shimura stated. "I'm still waiting for a response from the Hero's Safety Commission on getting my license renewed."
"I guess that makes sense. But would you be up for training Midoriya alongside me? You never really got to train Toshinori all that much." Torino said.
"I'd be honored." Shimura smiled.
"I'm in for some hard training, aren't I?" Izumi questioned.
~Iida/Manual~
"We'll patrol Kyoto today to." The normal hero, Manual, said walking along the streets with Iida by his side. "Sorry this is so monotonous."
"No, it's better this way." Iida said, looking around, fully armored with his helmet on.
There was a moment of silence between the pro hero and intern duo, before Manual spoke up.
"Hey, this is kinda hard to ask but, you're after the Hero Killer aren't you?" Manual questioned.
"How did you…?"
"I couldn't think of any other reason why you'd come to my agency. Plus, your Gine Yagi, gave me a call, and warned me about what you might be up to. She's worried about you ya know? Your whole class is." Manual said. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm really glad you did choose my agency, but… you shouldn't be pursuing personal grudges." These words took Iida off guard, as his whole purpose for choosing Manual's agency, was so he could do just that. "We heroes don't have the authority to arrest people or punish them. The only reason why we're allowed to use our Quirks is because of the regulations put on them. That's why, no matter how noble the reason may be, a hero must not use their Quirk for themselves. If a Pro used their power for their own selfish desires, it would be a very serious crime. I'm not saying the Hero Killer isn't incredibly guilty or anything, you just seem like the earnest type you know? I'd hate for you to focus on one goal and ignore everything else."
"Thank you, I appreciate it." Iida said, bowing to him slightly.
"Oh it's fine, as long as you get what I'm saying." Manual sighed. "So, we good?"
'No.' Iida thought, clenching his fists in anger. 'What am I supposed to do, with this burning hatred, if I can't act?'
~3rd Day of the Internship~
"Hope you're ready. We're going out to fight some villains." Torino smirked, his walking stick pointing up in the air. "Shimura, will you hold the fort while we're gone?"
"You can count on me." Shimura said, waving them off, dressed in a pair of jeans, and a T-shirt, with an apron on, and her hair done up in its usual style. "Have fun, and be safe okay?"
"We'll be as safe as can be on tonight's patrol." Torino said.
'When she's unable to do hero work, or she's not training me, she's acts just like an ordinary housewife.' Izumi thought.
"C'mon squirt, times a wasting. Phase2 won't get done on its own."
"Huh, what just like that?" Izumi questioned. "An' don't call me squirt, you're like two feet shorter than me."
"If you only fight against me and Shimura, you'll be in trouble when you come across someone who's the complete opposite." Torino stated. "The key is to let you get experience with different types of villains and situations. This is an internship after all, you really shouldn't be surprised by this. An' if I wanna call you squirt, I'm gonna call you squirt."
"I get what you're saying about the whole experience thing, but I think I still need time to prepare myself." Izumi stated.
"No need to worry. You'll be just fine, we won't be going after anyone that big, we're going after a bunch of small fries." Torino said, hailing a taxi. "An' it won't do us any good hanging around here. Because of the small population in this area, the crime rate is pretty low, that's why there are so many hero agencies in urban areas. There's a lot more crime there. The higher the population density, the more trouble you'll find. Now in Shibuya, we'll have plenty of small fights to break up, I guarantee."
"Wait you mean we're going to Shibuya in Tokyo?" Izumi questioned. "I'm not so sure my costume is stylish enough."
"That costume of yours tells everyone you're a hero, you should be happy to get to display it in such a bright spotlight. Besides, you don't need to put your mask on until we actually start patrolling the area." Torino stated reassuringly.
"I suppose." Izumi thought, pulling her phone out from her pocket.
"What's that now?" Torino questioned. "What are you doing now?"
"I'm trying to get in touch with a classmate of mine. He's Ingenium's younger brother, and he's been acting very different since his brother was forced into retirement after his encounter with Stain. He went to an agency in Hosu, so I'm concerned he might be throwing his life away."
~Kaen~
"We've been at this for a few hours. What's say we take a break, Super Saiyan?" Mirko suggested.
"I'm fine with it." Kaen said.
"Great, you wait here, while I go grab us a couple drinks." Mirko smiled, heading off to the nearest corner store.
Sitting on one of the benches, Kaen looked around, before he took a pose like he was going into deep thought, and closed his eyes. Meditating in public was something he never really liked doing, but this was the only chance he'd gotten to actually try something.
Opening his eyes again, Kaen was in the USJ of his mindscape, and looked towards the fountain of the mindscape, and saw Pinach sparring with Oozaru. After he'd calmed down, Kaen and Oozaru allowed for Pinach to roam free in the mindscape, and he'd spar with Oozaru to pass the time.
"Good, you're channeling your anger into a productive force." Oozaru said, easily deflecting and redirecting Pinach's strikes.
"I guess you've always been a fast learner." Kaen said, coming up to them.
"Tsk, what the hell are you doing here Kaen?" Pinach questioned, angrily.
"I came to try and make peace with you." Kaen stated.
"Oh, so after twelve to thirteen years, you now decide to try and talk things out." Pinach said.
"You talk as if it's my fault that you were sealed away Pinach." Kaen said. "I didn't decide on sealing you away. Mom and Dad chose to do that."
"Yeah, and they sealed me away with your Saiyan Pride, forcing me to take it on and make it one with myself." Pinach said. "Athena's the one who was naturally born without any traits of her Saiyan behavior. She was born with a pacifist nature."
"If I'd known the truth, I'd have stopped them from sealing you away Pinach." Kaen said, stepping up to him. "Please, you're my brother. I don't wanna lose you, like I lost Celeron. We're family, an' I'm willing to do anything to keep from losing you."
"Why not form a pact?"
"A what now?" Pinach asked, looking to Oozaru.
"A pact. It's a sort of contract." Kaen said. "Usually, a contract like that, is associated with demonic summonings, and forming deals with the demons summoned."
"So you're suggesting I'm a demon?" Pinach asked.
"No, a pact can be made between people, not just demons." Oozaru said. "In fact, a pact is what I made with the ancestors of the Saiyan Race, to allow them access to my power during the full moon. In fact, that pact is the entire reason, Saiyans have tails in the first place. Though the pact was forgotten over the millennia, and it was just naturally assumed that the Saiyan race, evolved into having tails."
"So you're a demon?" Pinach inquired.
"I guess you could say that, yes." Oozaru smiled.
"So what would this pact involve?" Kaen asked.
"That would be between the two of you." Oozaru said. "This pact is between you two, so you're the one's who'll have to figure out what your pact will entail."
"First off… I want some time to control the body we share." Pinach said.
"That's understandable." Kaen said. "But you can't do anything villainous, while in control of our body."
"Considering you're trying to be a hero, that's doable." Pinach said.
"Though, we're gonna have to figure out a way to distinguish you from me." Kaen said.
"You two can work out the finer details of your pact another time. Right now, I believe it's time for Kaen to return to his internship." Oozaru said.
"But first… mind changing the scenery to something, less gloomy or school related?" Kaen asked.
"I'll see what I can do." Oozaru smiled.
Closing his eyes, Kaen left his mindscape, returning to reality, and opening his eyes, just before he felt something cold pressed into his cheek, making him jump.
"Damn, if you're that easy to startle, then you might not make it out in the real world as a hero." Mirko chuckled.
"Not funny. I was in deep meditation." Kaen said, accepting the drink.
"What were you doing meditating?" Mirko inquired.
"I was trying to patch things up with my twin brother." Kaen stated.
"You're what?"
"I was born with Chimerism, I absorbed one of my siblings before I was born. That resulted in me developing D.I.D, because of my Chimerism. My body is shared by my brother. But my parents used a therapist with a Psychic Quirk, that forced my brother to be locked away, deep within my subconscious." Kaen explained. "He was freed at the Sports Festival, thanks to what Monoma did, and so since then, I've been trying to make things right with him."
"Damn. That's gotta be rough. Living with two souls in one body? That can't be good for your mental health."
"It's been difficult, but we've been piecing our relationship back together." Kaen chuckled.
"Well, enough sitting around. I think it's about time we get back to our patrol." Mirko smiled.
~Train to Shibuya that Night~
"So, this train isn't gonna get to our destination until pretty late, are you sure that's okay?" Izumi asked Torino, while looking out the window. "Unless we patrol all through the night until morning, we'll have to get hotel rooms."
"That's why I picked it. There'll be more skirmishes at night, so it'll be much more fun." Torino smiled leaning back into his seat.
'Was he an adrenaline junky when he was my age? Is he a hero just for the thrills?' Izumi questioned pulling out her cell phone.
"You kids these days, you're constantly buried in your cellphones." Torino stated.
"I'm checking in on my friend I mentioned before." Izumi Izumi looking through her texts. 'He didn't reply to the texts even though he read it. It's been nearly half an hour since I sent the text. I don't think he's ever waited longer than three minutes at most to respond to something before.' She thought as the conversation at the train station came to mind. 'We're almost at Hosu Station.'
"Hey did you see that?" One guy's voice said from the other side of the train behind them, drawing her attention to their location. "A building exploded."
"What's the ruckus?" Torino questioned.
"Think it's some kind of fire?" Izumi questioned, before she remembered something.
"Passengers, please hold onto your seats." The feminine voice of the train attendant said through the PA System.
The train ground to a halt, before someone was thrown in through the metal wall, tearing it open, and causing a panic to ensue.
"What the hell?" The hero questioned picking himself up.
Acting purely on instinct, Izumi jumped from her seat in a flurry of rose petals, and grabbed the hero, before the hand of the Nomu could grab him, and skid to a halt on the other end of the train, holding the hero's jacket by the hood as the four eyed Nomu peeled back more of the metal frame of the train, causing more panic to ensue.
"Nomu." Izumi shouted. 'Hold on, this Nomu looks different than the one from the USJ Incident.'
"I want you to stay back, you hear me Midoriya?" Torino questioned, jumping from his seat, and using his Quirk to bounce off the walls, and slam into the Nomu, forcing them out of the train car, and into the wall lining the tracks.
"Gran Torino." Izumi called out, as the old pro flew to the city below, dragging the Nomu with him.
Running to the hole in the train car, Izumi spotted a large portion of Hosu on fire, and her eyes widened in horror.
"No way. What the hell's going on here?" Izumi questioned.
~Hosu City Streets~
There was a panic ensuing among the citizens of the city, as a fire raged on, with a large Nomu, similar to the one that attacked the USJ, right in the center of the chaos. The teeth lining its lower jaw were sharp like a wild jungle cats, and its nails were like razor sharp claws. There was one flying above it, with the leathery skin of its wings, shimmering a blood red, with the front part of its brain, and long razor like spikes poking out of its vertebra along its back.
Farther into the city, where there wasn't as much chaos, Manual and Iida were watching the smoke rising from the area.
"What did you say?" Manual asked, talking with the police. "Villains appeared? Don't worry, I can head there right now." Manual said, before turning to Iida. "Stay with me, we're running." As they ran, Iida had thoughts running through his head, about who it might be responsible for this.
'It couldn't be, no this is different; that murderer wouldn't be so flashy.' Iida thought.
As they kept running, Iida stopped as he thought he spotted something in the middle of an alleyway, and his eyes widened upon seeing who was there, and began chasing after him, his feelings of anger and rage, returning, overriding Kaen's words of encouragement.
Meanwhile, deep within the alleyway, Stain was holding up his next victim, and preparing to strike him down, as he looked up in the sky.
"That idiot's making a move. An' he's so noisy, I'll have to dispose of him later." He said, before turning back to his prey, a hero named Native. "At the moment, I have important work to finish here." He said, raising his blade.
"My body. I can't move." Native said, struggling to breathe with Stain's hand covering his face. "You bastard. I-I'll kill you."
"If you call yourself a hero, you should choose your last words with care." Stain said, raising his blade, and angling it to where the chipped edge of the blade was completely visible.
Before he could strike, his attention was drawn to a different person, as Iida came, and tried kicking Stain away from Native, but his attack was countered as Stain used his blade to knock his helmet off, and sending Iida to the ground.
"A child wearing a suit." Stain said. "Who are you?" Iida just looked at him with anger and disdain. "Run, run away from here. This is not a place for children."
"You're carrying blades all over your body, and you're wearing a bloodred scarf. You must be the Hero Killer Stain." Iida said, picking himself up. "It's you right? I've been looking for you. But I didn't think I'd find you so soon. I am…" Iida's words were stopped as Stain pointed his blade in his face, two inches from his nose.
"You're eyes are searing with vengeance. Be careful what you say next. If need be, even someone your age can be my target." Stain said.
"Are you saying that I'm… not even a threat to you?" Iida questioned, clenching his fists. "You listen to me criminal. I am the brother of an incredible hero who you attacked. He's the best older brother that anyone could hope for. I have come to stop you, because he can't anymore. You're going to remember my name, for as long as you live." Iida said, a fire burning in his soul. "I am Ingenium, and I will defeat you. That I promise."
"Then so be it." Stain said. "Die."
"For Tensei." Iida shouted using his thrusters to increase the power of his kick.
Though his attack was quick and powerful, Stain easily dodged it, and kicked Iida in the shoulder, with a spike on one of his boots.
"Ingenium. So you're brothers." Stain said. "I let him live so he could spread the good word, word of me." Stain exclaimed, deepening the kick, and knocking Iida down to the ground face first. "You're a weakling, just like he was." Stain flipped his katana around, and stabbed it into Iida's shoulder. "You aren't heroes, you have no right to be called that. Both of you are nothing but fakes."
"Shut up villain." Iida growled. "You damaged his spine, and paralyzed him from the waist down. He's never gonna be able to work as a pro hero again. My brother was incredible, a caring person who saved many lives. Someone people looked up to. You had no right to take that all away from him." Iida said, gritting his teeth. "He is my hero. My older brother inspired my dream, that one day I could aspire to be a pro to. I won't forgive you, I'll kill you."
"Shouldn't you be worried about saving that guy?" Stain asked, pointing to Native. The sight of the pro cause Iida to freeze up. "So busy with your grudge, you forgot about him. You plan on using your Quirk only for yourself. Completely blinded by a selfish desire for revenge. You're about as far away from being a hero as I can imagine." Stain said, pulling his blade from Iida's shoulder. "An' that's why you'll die tonight." He said, licking the blood from the blade causing Iida to become paralyzed throughout his entire body.
'My body, won't move.' Iida thought.
Flipping his blade around again, Stain raised it above Iida's head preparing to strike him down, and skewer him through the skull.
"Goodbye child. May your death bring upon a better world." Stain said.
"No please… not like this." Iida growled. "Say whatever you want about me. You're still just a criminal who hurt my brother."
As Stain was about to bring the blade down, his attention was drawn to his left, before seconds later he spotted a blur of green electricity jumping from the walls, and before he could react, he felt an impact against his face.
"SMASH." Kaen shouted, slamming his fist into Stain's face, with the maximum percentage of power her body could safely handle of her One-for-All.
The force of the punch sent Stain flying back be twenty feet or so, as Kaen flipped over midair, and landed in front of Iida, beside Native.
"Whose there?" Iida questioned, hearing the power flowing through Kaen's body, looking up with his eyes. "Kaen? How?"
"Don't, you worry Iida." Kaen said, a determined look in his eyes as he glared at Stain. "I'm going to save you."
~Minutes Earlier~
"Seriously? How many Nomu are here?" Kaen questioned.
"You know these things Kaen?" Mirko questioned, fighting against the giant eyeless Nomu Grimm.
"Sort of. They're called Nomu, bioengineered beings of immense power with multiple Quirks. There was one who attacked alongside the villains during the USJ Attack." Kaen explained. "It was designed to take out All Might, but I beat it with no problem. Well, maybe only after I entered a mindless rage fighting Akuma."
"Would you say these are as strong as the one from the USJ Incident?" Mirko asked, trying to help with putting out the fires.
"Some of the bigger ones maybe, but I would say these ones are attracted to negative emotions like fear, or anger." Kaen exclaimed.
"Alright, good to know." Mirko stated before the blazing inferno got bigger.
"Tenya." Manual's voice called out. "Where are you Tenya?"
"Iida's missing?" Kaen questioned.
Kaen turned to where Mirko shouted to, and saw Izumi standing there, with a bus heading towards her. The bus landed on a car, and started up another gas fire.
"Izumi." Kaen called out running to her.
"Kaen, what's going on? Have you seen Gran Torino anywhere?" Izumi questioned.
"No, I've been a little busy with helping Mirko deal with these Nomu." Kaen stated. "Have you seen Iida?"
"No. I haven't, and he hasn't responded to my texts either." Izumi stated.
"Hey Manual. Stop the fire." A hero with bull horns called out.
Kaen and Izumi turned to see Manual running to the torn fire hydrant, and direct the flow of water to put out the fires.
"Why'd you run off by yourself? Where the hell are you Tenya?" Manual questioned, still looking around. "Damn it." He said as he directed the water to douse the flames.
"Wait, Tenya went off alone? Despite what's happening?" Izumi questioned.
"That doesn't sound like something he'd do, unless he's got revenge on his mind." Kaen said. "Izumi you stay here and help with the fires. I'll go find Tenya."
"What are you going to do if you run into trouble?" Izumi questioned.
"I have my provisional license don't I?" Kaen questioned, before running to the hero he was following. "Mirko. I think Iida might be in trouble, please let me go find him and help him."
"What kind of trouble would he be in?" Mirko questioned.
"I don't know, but please, he's my friend I can't leave him alone. I don't wanna go after him without your blessing but I will if I have to." Kaen stated, staring directly into her eyes.
"Fine. But if you run into the Hero Killer, give him hell." Mirko stated.
"Understood." Kaen said, before he ran off with One-for-All coursing through him. "Damn it Iida. I might be overthinking things. I don't exactly have any proof, but I can't just stand by. If I'm right, then Iida is in danger. I have to do something. Guys like Nomu are running wild, in the same place the Hero Killer appeared. I don't even want to imagine it, but I'm afraid I might be right. The League of Villains and the Hero Killer are connected somehow. That means, both the Hero Killer and the League are somewhere in this city this very moment." Kaen said, as he ninja jumped the walls he was between, before launching into the air, to get a birds eye view from the rooftops following the strong smell of blood. "Since Iida wasn't at the fight earlier. He may have stumbled upon Stain, himself." He said, flying down into an alley, following Iida's Ki signature.
Rounding a corner, Kaen's eyes shrank in horror when he saw Stain standing over a downed Iida, his blade poised to strike the youngest Ingenium through the skull. Because he was going so fast, Kaen wasn't able to actually stop, so he instead flipped forward and planted his feet on the wall in front of him, before he zigzagged like that towards them, slamming his fist into Stain's face, knocking the murderer back from his friend.
"Guess I was right." Kaen said.
Stain looked up, and narrowed his eyes, his mind flashing through his memories of when he had been given an offer of recruitment by the League of Villains.
'It's him. The one from Shigaraki's picture.' Stain thought.
"You found him to?" Iida questioned. "But how?"
"I saw it on the news." Kaen exclaimed. "They had some stats about the Hero Killer, most of his victims were found where there weren't many people. So in order to find you, I needed to search far away from the chaos that was going on in the wide open public streets. In the back alleys of Hosu." Kaen exclaimed. "Iida, can you move?"
"No, I think this is his power. His Quirk paralyzes people from ingesting their blood." Iida said.
"Kinda knew that part from the information your brother gave Mirko." Kaen said. "Guess I'm gonna have to start this off by getting you two out of here. But I don't know how I'm gonna do that, while I'm fending off Stain. If only I wasn't alone. Where is Mirko when I need her?"
"What are you talking about?" Iida questioned.
"I'm shadowing Mirko, and she got some information from your brother, when she paid him a visit in the hospital. Blood Curdle, that's the name of Stain's Quirk. It allows him to paralyze anyone who's blood he ingests." Kaen said, glaring at the killer.
"Super Saiyan." Izumi called out, running up behind him.
"Deku, what are you doing here?"
"Mirko and the others have the Nomu situation under control. I followed your Ki as she told me to follow you." Izumi stated.
"Well, your timing is actually impeccable. I could use your help." Kaen said.
"What can I do to help?" Izumi inquired.
"Grab Native and Ingenium, then book it out of here." Kaen said, putting his shield on his forearm, and extending it to its full form.
"I don't think so." Stain declared, throwing knives at Izumi as she reached for Native.
The serrated blades were deflected as Kaen used his shield to block them, after jumping into Izumi's path.
"Go now." He said.
Quickening her pace, Izumi grabbed Native, and Ingenium, before she went running for the other heroes. When Stain tried to run after them, Kaen threw his shield at the murderer, and bouncing off the walls, it struck the villain on the underside of the jaw, and knocked him back. Getting back to his feet, Stain looked at Kaen, just as the shield returned to his arm, making the blood consumer smile.
"Stay down. I will not allow you to go after my friends, or Native." Kaen declared.
"You prioritized their safety over fighting me." Stain said, smiling a bit. "You just might have the potential to be worthy of being called a true hero."
"I don't give a shit about what you think." Kaen growled. "You do not have the authority, nor the right to decide who's a true hero or not."
"I am the only one, who can discern the real heroes from the fakes." Stain declared.
"Shut your mouth." Kaen growled, reaching for the weapon on the small of his back, switching out his shield for it. "You claim your mission is a righteous one. That all your killings are to try and make heroes act more like All Might. Well I can tell you, my old man would be disgusted at hearing you killed all those people in his name."
"Old man?" Stain questioned.
"So I'm going to bring you in, not because of the large reward on your head, not because of the fame it will bring." Kaen said, bringing out the weapon, showing it was a San Setsu Kon (Three piece nunchuck), with the two ends tipped with blades, as he glowered at Stain. "But I will bring you in, because I am All Might's son, and I will stop you from dragging his sense of justice through the mud."
~A/N~
Just a quick response to someone who asked something in the reviews of a chapter22.
The original Saiyan Heroes of U.A story, was a harem one, but with quite a few more girls then in this one. An' the 'fun' mentioned in chapter22, won't be happening for a few more chapters.
I originally wasn't gonna do the harem thing in the last redux, which I didn't, or this one, which is still a bit up in the air, but it looks like it might be something that'll happen.
