UA's Saiyan Heroes
Stain and Kaen looked at one another, their gazes never breaking, as Stain grabbed the hilt of his katana.
"You claim to be the child, of the Symbol of Peace. I find that preposterous. All Might doesn't have any children." Stain said.
"Not officially. He's kept it secret from the public to keep me and my sister safe." Kaen stated.
"I still believe you're trying to deceive me. But one with the heart of a true hero, wouldn't do such a thing." Stain said.
"I told you to shut up about that." Kaen growled, swinging his San Setsu Kon, at Stain, forcing the murderous villain to jump back, as Kaen wielded it with expert ease. "You don't get to choose, who lives and who dies. You don't get to decide who's a real hero or not. You're nothing more then a murderer, who justifies what he does, by claiming it's a righteous crusade."
'His weapon has a longer reach then mine, and he seems to be proficient in using it. An amateur, but one not to be taken lightly.' Stain thought, examining Kaen. "You claim what I do, is just senseless murder. Then don't just show me with your actions, I want you to prove it to me, right here and now, by defeating me."
"With pleasure." Kaen glared, his body lighting up in a milky white aura.
'It's really is him.' Stain thought. 'He's the one Akuma and Shigaraki told me about.'
~Flashback~
Stain stood in the League of Villains bar, his gaze on Shigaraki and Celeron, as the Saiyan villain held his weapons, preventing the murderous vigilante from using his Quirk on any of them.
"Now then, since you've been striped of your weapons, I believe you would be more inclined to hear us out?" Shigaraki questioned.
"Fine." Stain glared. "Let me guess. You must be the ones who attacked U.A, and you wanna recruit me to build up your group again."
"Yeah, it'll be great, you've got so much experience." Shigaraki said.
"An' what's your mission?" Stain questioned.
"For now, our target is to kill All Might. Tear down this society, and rebuilt it in our image." Celeron said. "My personal plans are on hold."
"We like to destroy anything that pisses us off. Like these little brats here." Shigaraki said, holding up a photo of Izumi from the Sports Festival, and Kaen from his fight against Overhaul.
"The young boy, is my annoying little brother, who has a hero complex so annoying, so sickening, even All Might would be sick to his stomach with it." Celeron groaned.
Stain's gaze just darkened, as he glared at Celeron and Shigaraki.
"I was a fool, to think you could offer me anything." Stain growled. "It turns out, you're the type of people I hate most in this world."
"What are you getting at?" Celeron questioned, his gaze narrowing in on Stain.
"The goals of your league, are those of a child." Stain said, putting one foot back. "What meaning, is there to killing, when you don't have real convictions?"
"Master, should I step in?" Kurogiri inquired.
"Let it happen. It's possible, this is the only way he'll learn anything." All-for-One's voice came from the television. "He needs to think of the ways he must grow, how he'll mature. Only then, will he reach his potential."
Stain lunged at Shigaraki, Celeron getting in his path, and throwing a punch at the Hero Killer, but Stain, thrust his arm forward, and swung his foot at the Saiyan, gashing his cheek and drawing blood. Flipping through the air, over Celeron's head, Stain liked the spike on his boot, cleaning it of the blood, and paralyzing the warrior. With his weapons free, Stain grabbed one of his knives, and charged at Shigaraki again, but was intercepted by Kurogiri. However, that attack was stopped, when Stain cut through the mist man's shoulder, drawing blood from him, before he was paralyzed when Stain ingested his blood as well. With no one else to defend Shigaraki, Stain charged at the hand face covered man, and knocked him to the ground with a kick, before pinning him down with one of his knives, through the shoulder. Using another blade, Stain brought some of Shigaraki's blood up from the wound, and paralyzed him as well.
"So you want me to be a part of your crumbling little league." Stain said. "But you won't accomplish anything if you don't have conviction, and desire. Without those, you'll always be an aimless weakling, achieving nothing. That's how you got here."
"Hey now, you're being a little rough now, aren't you?" Shigaraki questioned.
"Kurogiri. The hell are you waiting for? Take this guy back to whatever hole you found him in." Celeron grunted, trying to force himself to move, but failing to.
"I'm sorry, I can't move." Kurogiri said. "It must be the Hero Killer's Quirk at work."
"The word Hero, has lost all meaning in this society. The world is overrun by fakes, and petty criminals like you who chase petty dreams." Stain said, moving his blade closer to Shigaraki's throat, and the hand that covered his face. "They must all be purged."
"What do you think you're doing?" Shigaraki questioned, grabbing the blade. "If you touch this palm, I'll kill you."
'He broke through the effect of my Quirk, all because my blade got near that disgusting mask of his.' Stain thought as the blade Shigaraki grabbed, turned to rusted dust.
"You sure talk a lot Hero Killer." Shigaraki said. "Conviction. Maybe I don't have anything as loaded as that. If I had to choose a desire though… yeah, it'd be killing All Might. If this world wants to worship trash like him, I'll destroy their beloved Symbol of Peace, and then crush them while they're in shock."
Stain jumped back, evading Shigaraki's hand as he swung it at him. He could tell Shigaraki's power was nothing to mess with, especially if it could destroy one of his blades within seconds.
"The last of my injuries was finally about to finish healing, and now this." Shigaraki said, as he began scratching at his chin and neck in irritation. "You should learn not to play with knives. We don't exactly have a healer in our party you know. An' Celeron's stash of Senzu Beans, is on his flying fortress, that somehow rejects him now."
"Shut it, Hand-job." Celeron growled.
"I see your nature." Stain said, shocking Shigaraki. "It seems our goals fundamentally oppose each other. However, this wasn't in vain. We agree that we need to destroy the present."
"I'm over this." Shigaraki said. "Leave, drop dead. We're the kind of people you hate most, right?"
"I was testing your motives." Stain stated, putting his remaining blade away. "People always show their true colors when on the verge of death."
"You bastard." Celeron glared.
"It's abnormal, but there is desire, a warped sprout of conviction, inside of you." Stain said, undoing the effects of his Quirk, freeing Kurogiri and Celeron. "How will it bloom in the end I wonder? Maybe I'll let you grow. If you don't turn out well, I'll take care of you later."
"You think you can get rid of me?" Shigaraki questioned, as Celeron got to his feet. "Kurogiri, someone as crazy as this would be nothing but a problem for the League of Villains."
"Don't know if you've taken a psych evaluation test lately Hand-job, but you're not exactly all there in the head yourself." Celeron grunted, putting pressure on the spot Stain's spike gashed his face.
"Shut it Monkey." Shigaraki growled. "Kurogiri, get rid of him."
"Please reconsider." Kurogiri began. "This man would be a great asset, if he were to join us. I'd say this was a success."
"My business here is done." Stain said. "Now, you will return me to Hosu, there are still several false heroes, I must attend to there."
Kurogiri opened a warp gate back to Hosu, and sensing no deception coming from the warp man, Stain made his way towards the warpgate.
"Hold on Stain, before you go. A word of advice." Celeron said. "My brother, is currently in the hero course, and it's most likely that his little show of power in the Sports Festival, made him catch the eyes of some prominent heroes. From my understanding, the internships usually start up sometime after the Sports Festival, so it's possible he and the hero he'll be shadowing, will come after you."
"You're point?"
"Why are you telling him this you damned monkey?" Shigaraki questioned.
"If he finds you, he will fight you." Celeron said. "An' you better not underestimate him. I made that mistake during the attack on the USJ. He's strong, and he won't underestimate you. But he won't take you seriously until…" He paused for a moment to allow a milky white aura of flames to envelop his body. "…his body, is enveloped in an aura, just like this."
~End Flashback~
'This little brat's body is covered in an aura just like that. So he's taking me seriously from the start. He's got good instincts for a hero in training, but will they be enough, to allow him to survive my blade?' Stain questioned. "Tell me boy. Why do you fight, why become a hero when you know that someone like me, is hunting false heroes?"
"I fight to become a hero, to protect the people of this world, from scum like you." Kaen declared, almost instantly in front of Stain, hitting him square in the face.
Before Stain could fly too far away, Kaen used his weapon to grab him by the throat, and slammed him into the wall, cracking the bricks and building up dust, before the murderer fell to the ground.
"I hate villains like you." Kaen said. "You've caused women to become widows, men to become widowers, children to lose their mother, their father, or even become orphans from losing both their parents. It's monsters like you, who piss me off the most."
"You're here to get revenge?" Stain questioned, forcing himself to his feet.
"No. Revenge is pointless." Kaen said, slamming his knee into Stains face, embedding the murderers head halfway into the wall behind him. "I'm here, fighting you, to prevent anymore people from feeling the pain you've already inflicted on countless others."
"You fucking brat." Stain coughed, falling to his hands, with blood pooling on the ground, before Kaen stomped on the back of his head.
"You have no right, to murder the heroes you don't like, just because they don't match up to your view of how heroes should be." Kaen glared, grabbing Stain by the collar of his shirt, and raising him to look him in the eyes. "I may not be allowed to kill you, even with the provisional license I have, but I can beat you within an inch of your life."
"You're no hero." Stain coughed, spitting up blood. "You're just another fake I must purge."
"I told you, to shut your fucking mouth about that damned self righteous sense of justice. You're no savior, or righteous crusader." Kaen glared, his grip tightening. "You're nothing more, then a psychotic murderer, who justifies his kills, by saying they're in the name of his a self righteous crusade of justice."
"Then I guess it's a good thing, I've recently taken on an apprentice." Stain glared.
"What?" Kaen questioned, before he felt someone grabbing his tail, then followed by pain. 'How were they able to hide from me? Do they know how to use Ki?'
The sudden act of cutting off his tail, caused Kaen to let go of Stain, before he jumped back and away from the fallen Stain, trying to get an inspection of who had cut his tail off. When the moonlight broke through, Kaen's eyes widened in shock, when he saw the orange haired Seryuu, standing next to Stain, as the masked murderer picked himself up.
"Seryuu." He growled.
~Yagi Household~
"I'm sorry to show up, unexpectedly, especially at this late hour." Tsukauchi said, as he was seated across from Toshinori and Gine. "I hope neither of you mind. I know how hectic your lives are right now."
"Please, it's always a pleasure to see you Tsukauchi." Toshinori smiled. "In fact, it's a very much welcomed relief at this point."
"Of course. You're always welcome here, anytime. You're like family to us." Gine smiled. "So, you any closer to making Police Chief yet?"
"I'm close, but not quite there." Tsukauchi said.
"Sorry that I've been pushing this meeting off. I've had my hands full with a few things, I'm not to thrilled about the consequences of." Toshinori said. "One of which, being both my children are no longer talking to me, and Athena's now staying at one of her friends apartments."
"Is there anyone else in the house?"
"My sister in law Fasha, the one I told you was a lucky off world survivor of Planet Vegeta's destruction, and our granddaughter Eri are both downstairs, watching some animated movies together." Gine said. "We won't have to worry about them listening in, and even if they were just playing some games, the basement is soundproof. Neither of them will hear anything going in, and we won't hear anything coming out. So we can talk as freely as we want."
"That's perfect actually." Tsukauchi stated.
"So, how's the investigation?" Toshinori inquired.
"Well, there were a number of villains who attacked the USJ, but we're puzzled by one." Tsukauchi said. "The one Kaen fought, and they called Nomu."
"Ah, that strong bird beaked guy." Toshinori said.
"We went ahead and ran some test on Nomu's DNA."
"I remember that. I was working in the labs of the hospital, and I was the one who did the work, but I never saw the results." Gine said.
"What exactly did you find?" Toshinori inquired.
"First, we're not asking you to help us with the case. Technically, this is a leak. I just felt I owed it to you, to let you know." Tsukauchi explained. "It could lead us to the one in charge."
"What do you mean?" Gine asked, as Toshinori looked shocked.
"After several attempts at interrogation, we realized that Nomu can't speak. He shows no reaction to anything. It's as though, he literally can't think for himself, no matter what's going on around him." Tsukauchi explained.
"What about his bloodwork? What did that uncover?" Gine asked.
"It uncovered who he really in." Tsukauchi said, pulling a photo out from his pocket. "He used to be a low level thug, with a record of assault and extortion. Originally he was reported dead from an overdose of his own supply when he started on dealing illegal drugs. But apparently this isn't the case."
"Why do you think this will lead us to the Mastermind behind the League?" Toshinori asked.
"Here's where it gets interesting." Tsukauchi continued. "Our reports show, that he's been altered drastically. When we analyzed his genetic makeup, we discovered four different people's DNA."
"So someone combined different people's DNA to make this guy. Is he even human anymore?" Toshinori inquired.
"I doubt it. He'd be more akin to a Chimera at this point." Gine said.
"That's not even the worst of it. When we took a closer look at his genetic makeup, we discovered that his base genetics, making him human, had been altered turning him into a Saiyan. The others at the station couldn't identify the genetics, but I recognized it, from the numerous times I'd seen Kaen's medical charts when he was hospitalized after one of his fights."
"I can't tell you how embarrassed I am that most of my medical training was spent dealing with Kaen's fight wounds." Gine said, embarrassed. "Please, continue on about Nomu."
"The transformation to Nomu's body, is a result of drugs and other unknown methods." Tsukauchi said. "To oversimplify it a bit, his body as been genetically engineered, to where it can handle the strain of housing multiple Quirks at once."
"Then his lack of processing power that comes from his brain, is most likely a result of that strain his body bears." Gine said.
"That's the conclusion we came to as well. But we're more concerned about his DNA." Tsukauchi said. "He shouldn't have more the one power. Even if new DNA's introduced, that shouldn't give a person multiple powers. Not unless it's completely integrated into his body. Not all Quirks work like One-for-All."
"There's always Celeron." Toshinori said. "He has a copy of All-for-One, somehow. So it's possible he'd be the one to do that."
"Honey think about it." Gine said. "Celeron's only ambition is to wipe out the human race, by turning it into Saiyans, and making this world, the New Planet Vegeta. He wouldn't do something as actually using his power, to turn humans into Saiyan-Nomu's."
"She's right. Which leaves only one viable option, since Athena hasn't turned to the villainous side." Tsukauchi said.
"It can't be." Toshinori said, jumping to his feet.
"Given the evidence, I think it's a reasonable conclusion." Tsukauchi said. "It's why I came. I had to let you know, immediately. The both of you."
"No." Toshinori said, marching to the window, and beefing up into his All Might form. "It's not possible."
"Honey calm down. Fasha nor Eri know you're All Might, what if they come up and see you like this?" Gine asked.
"I don't care about that right now Gine." All Might said, before turning to look at Tsukauchi. "Don't tell me he's back again."
Unbeknownst to any of them, there was someone listening in on the conversation, as her little tiger ears drew her curiosity to spy, when Kaen's name was first mentioned. An' her eyes were wide in wonder, when she saw All Might standing there, in her grandparents living room.
"Grandpa Toshi, is All Might?" Eri gasped in awe.
~Kaen/Stain~
"Well-well, if it isn't the little slut's older brother, the one who put that damned collar around my neck that somehow shut off my power." Seryuu glared.
"I remember you." Kaen said. "Seryuu Ubiquitous. Last I saw of you, the police were hauling you off to prison, because you tried to murder my sister, your classmate."
"That bitch didn't deserve being in U.A's Support Course. No on in her team did. The world will be a much better place without her in it." Seryuu smirked. "An' word is, she's gotten herself knocked up. Guess all her nights of whoring to get into U.A, like the slut she is, have finally caught up to her. I wonder which of the teachers is the father."
"She's a surrogate, for a mother who needed Chemotherapy." Kaen stated, reaching up to his eyes, and putting his finger and thumb to his eyeballs. "An' you're never laying another hand on my sister, for as long as I live."
"The hell are you doing?" Seryuu questioned.
"You cut my tail off. Which means I don't need these anymore, on a full moon night." Kaen said, removing his hand from his face, bringing out his contact lenses. "I should be thanking you. I hate relying on my Ki for sight when I wear these, especially on the nights of a full moon."
"What the hell's so special about your tail and the full moon?" Seryuu questioned.
"Let's just say that if I'd looked at the full moon, while I still had my tail… you'd be face to face with a real live, King Kong." Kaen smirked, his eyes glowing with power.
Before Seryuu could react, Kaen was in her face, and slammed his knee into her stomach, causing her to spit up her lunch, before she was thrown back by the force of the punch, and hit the wall at the dead end of the alley.
"That's for strangling my…" Kaen was stopped in his tracks, as he felt his body paralyze from out of nowhere. Forcing himself to look to his left, Kaen saw Stain with his blood in his hand, and on his tongue as he ingested the blood, pooling out of the severed tail, Seryuu dropped on the ground, before turning towards him. "Damn it… the blood from my tail." He growled, falling to his knees.
"As I told the younger brother of Ingenium, I will make even a child my prey, if need be." Stain said, forcing himself to his feet. "Strife. Are you able to move?"
"Of course." Seryuu said, walking up to them. "By using my Quirk on any internal injuries I may have, I can reverse the damage instantly, and restore myself to normal." She smirked, slamming the soul of her foot in Kaen's face, sending him backwards into the ground. "As for this filthy heathen, I'd say a swift death is too good for him. I should teach him a painful lesson, before sending him to hell for interfering in our Crusade of True Justice."
"You… bitch." Kaen growled, glaring at Seryuu, as he struggled to fight against her strength, as well as Stains Quirk, before his eyes widened in pain, as Seryuu pierced his shoulder with her arm turned into a blade. 'The hell? She was able to pierce through my carbon fiber mesh?'
"You look surprised." Seryuu smirked. "Carbon Fiber Mesh isn't indestructible you know. But this isn't every day Carbon Fiber Mesh now is it? It's a special blend that makes it strong as steel. Unfortunately for you, tungsten is capable of piercing steel."
"What? You can control the element you make your weapons from?" Kaen growled.
"That's right. All I gotta do to use my Quirk, is think of the weapon I want, the metal I wanna make it from, and how sharp, or powerful I wanna make it should the weapon be a blade or a firearm. Drawback is, if I wanna use bullets, I gotta make a compartment for a loaded magazine. Which is why I prefer sticking to blades."
"Enough talking Strife." Stain said, grabbing his katana blade. "You can have your fun, and toy with him all you want. I'm gonna hunt down Native and the Ingenium brat, and finish what I'd started."
"Okay boss. I'll see you later." Seryuu smiled in a singsong voice.
"Be sure to finish him off before the effects of my Quirk…"
"SMASH." Izumi's voice rang out, echoing through the alley, as she came dashing through the darkness, hitting Stain with a double kick to the chest, sending him into Seryuu just as she turned her head at hearing the echoing cry, and they were both sent flying through the air, and out of the alley and into the open, rendering the murderer unconscious, and undoing the effects of his Quirk on Kaen.
"Izumi?" Kaen grunted as the green haired girl helps him to his feet. "Ah…"
"What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere else?" Izumi questioned, before noticing Kaen's severed tail. "Stain cut off your tail." She panicked.
"No, Seryuu did." Kaen groaned. "But my knees and back are in pain, because of how Seryuu forced me to the ground."
"You just wait right here. I'll take care of it." Izumi said.
"No… I can still fight." Kaen groaned, forcing himself to his feet.
With Izumi acting as his crutch, they left the alley to where Seryuu and Stain landed, and got there, just as Seryuu got Stain off her.
"Bitch. How dare you stop us from completing our righteous mission." Seryuu growled. "True Justice will prevail tonight."
"Izumi, that's Seryuu Ubiquitous." Kaen said.
"That's the girl who tried to kill Athena?" Izumi questioned.
"So you're friends with that slutty cheater as well? She's the only damned reason why I was expelled from U.A. You will all pay for her transgressions, before I finally give her the justice that's coming her way." Seryuu said, her face twisting into an expression of insanity.
"She's insane." Kaen growled.
"No kidding." Izumi said, as Kaen reached into one of his pouches. "What are you doing?"
"I've had something in reserve for a while, it's meant as a last ditch item in battle, sort of like a secret technique or power boosting item in video games. Athena made them for me, after the USJ incident, using the Culinary Alchemy Quirk she got from the Home Ec teacher at Musutafu Private Middle School." Kaen said, pulling a wrapped up piece of candy out from his pouch. "She calls these things, Primal Rage."
"What's it gonna do to you?"
"In theory? It should allow me to be able to fight, like a wild animal, but with a clear conscience, and an awareness of who my friends and enemies are." Kaen said popping the green piece of candy into his mouth. "In short, I'm gonna go wild, like Hound Dog Sensei does when he loses himself to anger." He said, biting down on it.
"Alright, but you better give me all the details about Culinary Alchemy, when all this is over. I wanna be able to catalog it into my notes." Izumi said.
"Don't worry… we can talk plenty, after all this is over." Kaen grunted, neither of them aware of his hands momentarily glowing before he removed himself from Izumi.
"Kaen? Are you okay?" Izumi questioned as Kaen bent forward and fell to one knee, with his arms around his torso, wrapping himself in a pained hug.
"This situation doesn't really call for a Primal Rage, but Athena was never really able to test it out, so be sure to stand back, and take plenty of notes for her, as this is gonna be the field test."
"Come at me, you stupid monkey." Seryuu cried out, before more heroes began to show up.
"Over there, it's Stain, he's unconscious and on the ground."
"An' that must be his rumored accomplice." Another called out spotting Seryuu.
"You two, get away from Stain and that girl, right now. They're dangerous villains. You shouldn't be anywhere…"
"STAY BACK." Kaen shouted, his voice echoing and reverberating with power as his breathing became heavier.
"Kaen?" Izumi questioned stepping away from him.
"Aw, what's the matter little monkey? Afraid I'll kill you?" Seryuu questioned. "What if I went after your sister, and killed her first?"
"She did not just say that." Izumi gulped, as Kaen's body stopped trembling.
Kaen's head was still down, with his eyes overshadowed, as the air around him became still and thick, before his head shot up, revealing his eyes were different, his face possessed a dark red shadow trim around the eyes and over the eyelids like eyeshadow, with golden ember irises.
"You will not, touch my SISTER." Kaen called out, before lunging at Seryuu, leaving imprints of his boots in the ground as he took off, before slamming his fist into her face, and knocking her to the ground, and creating a gale of wind that blew past the others, pushing some of the back.
"Holy crap. Did that kid just kill her?" One of the heroes asked.
"Not likely." Izumi said.
"What do you mean kid?" Another of the heroes questioned.
"He's not a killer. He cares about his sister, and overreacts at times, but he's not a killer. I've known him since we were children. No matter how angry he gets, he'd never willingly kill anyone." Izumi said.
"An' that's a little piece of truth that will always disgust me to my core."
Izumi's eyes widened when her head shot up, and she saw Celeron floating in the air, a wicked smirk on his face as he glared down at Kaen and the other heroes.
"Akuma." Izumi gasped.
"He's here?" One of the heroes questioned, as they all turned their heads, looking up in the air.
"Hello my little prey." Akuma smirked, looking down at them, before his gaze shifted to Kaen. "Oh, and I see my bratty little brother is here as well."
"Celeron." Kaen growled, looking up at his elder brother.
"I believe you have something of mine, that I believe should be returned to its rightful owner." Celeron said, falling to the ground, and landing across from Kaen and his quarry, before noticing Stain and Seryuu lying motionless on the ground. "Oh, I see Stain didn't heed my warning about not underestimating you. But who's this girl lying next to him?"
"His apprentice, she goes by Strife, but her name is Seryuu Ubiquitous. She's the daughter of the I-Island Villain, Ogre." Kaen glared. "I don't really much care for her current state, all I really care about right now, is taking you down."
"I'd like to see you try pipsqueak." Celeron smirked menacingly, before noticing Kaen's gaze. "Oh, looks like you've gotten a bit of a power boost. From what I can tell, you've accessed the power of the Oozaru, without having to transform first. Impressive little brother, I never would have thought something like that would be possible."
"Well, it's kinda hard to transform when I'm missing my tail." Kaen glared, his right eye twitching.
"So I see." Celeron said, noticing the blood pooling around Kaen's feet. "You've lost a lot of blood. Are you sure you're still able to fight?"
"To be honest I'd like to say yes. But I'm at my limit, and the rush of Primal Rage, is already starting to wear off, since the blood in my body, isn't as plentiful as it should be." Kaen said, clenching his fist.
"Well I'm not leaving here, without what's mine." Celeron said, raising his hand before it tensed up into claws.
"You won't be able to take One-for-All away, even if you kill me." Kaen stated. "So your endeavor here is fruitless."
"Well we won't know, unless I try." Celeron smirked, throwing his arm at Kaen.
Moving to the side, Kaen grabbed Celeron's arm, before using his foot to kick his elder brother's legs, and threw him over his shoulder, and slammed him into the ground, before bending his arm the wrong way, causing it to emit a sickening, echoing crack.
Flipping through the air, Kaen slammed his foot on Celeron's chest, and causing his ribs to crack.
"You… how are you so damn strong?" Celeron questioned.
"You're asking a question, to which there is an obvious answer." Kaen glared. "While you've most likely been sitting on your ass, feeling sorry for yourself after losing our battle, and failing to finish me off, I've only been getting stronger, and stronger."
"Fine. I admit you've far surpassed my expectations of your strength, but that does not mean, you've won quite yet." Celeron growled. "Flash Expansion." He called out, a bright light emitting from the palm of his hand, held in Kaen's arm, blinding him.
When the light died down, Kaen was several spaces away from where he'd been, while Celeron was gone, and so was Seryuu.
"Super Saiyan." Izumi called out, running to him as he fell back.
"That's it. I'm at my limit." Kaen said, the markings around his eyes fading away. "If I were to push myself farther, I'd probably pass out from over exhaustion and bloodloss."
"Are you insane kid?" One of the heroes questioned as they came over to his side.
"If you've got a death wish, then there are easier ways to die then to fight Stain or Akuma." Another said.
"MIDORIYA."
Izumi froze up as Torino joined the group, in a burst of air.
"Gran Torino sir." Izumi said, standing at attention.
"I thought I told you to stay on the train." Torino scolded angrily.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't just sit back, and let innocent people get hurt." Izumi said.
"Hmph, well I guess I can't fault you for following your heroic instincts." Torino sighed, before turning his gaze to Kaen. "Well, if it my favorite little pupil."
"Hey gramps." Kaen said, shaking in fear. "H-how've you been?"
"You'd know the answer to that, if you ever called more then just on my birthday and Christmas." Torino said as the other heroes restrained Stain.
"Sorry, but I'm busy with school and training." Kaen said. "Not to mention I'm dealing with fatherhood now and…"
"You're what?"
"Dad didn't tell you? I took in a girl I rescued from a villain, who was orphaned by her mother." Kaen panicked.
Suddenly, out of nowhere and without warning, a flying after a winged Nomu came zooming in, badly injured and missing an eye. Izumi's eyes widened before the Nomu grabbed her, some of its blood spraying about and hitting the female pro hero of the group on the cheek.
"Midoriya." Torino called out, before two figures blurred past him and the other heroes, one of them, licking the cheek of the heroine who's cheek got covered in blood.
The Nomu froze up, unable to move its body, before it began to fall. As its grip on Midoriya was lost, Kaen appeared in front of it, and grabbed her, before twisting around and using One-for-All to empower his legs as he kicked it in the chest. At the same time, Stain appeared above the Nomu, and stabbed it in the brain, effectively killing it, as it landed on top of Kaen and Izumi, pinning them to the ground as it slid to a halt. When the dust settled, it showed Kaen on his side, holding Izumi close, after having taken the brunt of the fall.
"No, Kaen wake up please." Izumi said, turning back to look at him.
Getting out of his embrace, Izumi crawled out from under the Nomu, before reaching to grab Kaen. Her reach was stopped however, when Stain's boot stomped on her back, forcing Izumi to the ground, before he removed it and kept her pinned with his hand.
"The word Hero, has lost all meaning in this society." Stain said, his gaze lower to Kaen's unconscious face. "The world is over run by fakes and criminals like you who chase petty dreams. You must all be purged."
"No way… he's still moving?" Izumi questioned.
"Everything that I do." The Hero Killer began, as he tore his knife through the winged Nomu's brain, cutting it wide open. "Is to create a stronger society."
"Did he just save that kid?"
"He took her hostage you idiot, even the unconscious boy to."
"He just killed that guy with no hesitation."
"Everyone be on guard, we've got a fight on our hands." The female hero said, before they all got ready for a fight.
"Why are you all standing around like fools?" Endeavor questioned coming to their group. "The villain must have flown this way, right?"
"You took care of the rest?" One of the heroes asked.
"Mostly. Things got a little rough at the end." Endeavor stated looking at the situation in front of him. "Hold on, don't tell me that man is…"
"Let go of me." Izumi cried out, struggling under Stains grasp.
Stain was gasping for breath, as he looked back over his shoulder, and spotted the flame covered pro.
"Endeavor." He growled, as his mask began to fall.
"Hero Killer." Endeavor smirked, preparing a flaming attack that would no doubt incinerate Stain.
"Wait Todoroki, don't do it, you'll hit the girl." Torino called out.
Endeavor stopped, when Torino called him out by name, before Stain got to his feet, releasing Izumi from his grasp, and allowing her to free Kaen. Once the Nomu had been pushed off her friend, Izumi looked up and glared at Stain, before her face went white in horror, as his mask fell off.
"You false hero." Stain glared, revealing his slightly disfigured face. "I'll make this right. These streets, must run with the blood of hypocrites. Hero. I will reclaim that word. Come on, just try and stop me you fakes."
Nobody facing against Stain could move, as an overwhelming blood lust fell over them, that seemed to weigh on them all, like they were all being forced to carry 10tons on their shoulders. It was even forcing Endeavor to step back.
"There is only one man, who I'll let kill me. He is a true hero." Stain declared. "All Might is worthy."
Just as Stain said those words, another strong aura appeared from out of nowhere, and the Hero Killer was forced to look over his shoulder, at Izumi. But the girl was frightened, too frightened in fact, to notice that Kaen was no longer in her arms, but rather he was on his feet, his body pulsing with energy, as he was back in the False Super Saiyan form, and an angered look etched onto his face.
"Would you shut your fucking trap about that bullshit, you murderous Nutter?" Kaen questioned, his voice containing a bit of a British accent.
'Kaen doesn't have an accent. So why would he be using one now? Unless he's spent some time in Great Britain that I don't know about.' Torino questioned.
"As my brother Kaen said, you're nothing more, then a mass murderer. Well, you're no longer dealing with Kaen, now you're dealing with Pinach." He growled marching up to the Hero Killer. "I'm honestly quite glad Kaen's unconscious, because he doesn't deserve to keep hearing, the filth spewing from your disgusting, mouth. So just do us all a favor, and piss off you Wanker." As he said that, Pinach had pulled his arm back, and punched Stain straight in the face, pushing his head back a few inches. 'Damn, our body is too exhausted from the fighting, and our weakened state seems to be a drawback of Primal Rage, Kaen best let Athena know that right away.'
It wasn't until a few seconds later, that Stain began to fall over, landing on his back as he was claimed by unconsciousness.
"Did… did he just take down the Hero Killer in one shot?" One of the heroes questioned.
"I doubt it mates." Pinach said, feeling over Stain's bodies. "Kaen's beating did some serious damage to his rib cage earlier. It feels like a few are broken, so there's a chance, one pierced his lung, and my hit just knocked him over just as unconsciousness claimed him."
"Kaen?" Izumi questioned.
"Sorry love, the names Pinach." He smiled.
~Hosu General the Following Day~
"Did you sleep well Yagi?" Iida questioned, standing next to Kaen's hospital bed, but his arms in a sling.
"No, not really, I couldn't really sleep because my mind keeps racing to how Pinach was able to take control while I was out of it." Kaen exclaimed. "An' at the same time, I am still unable to actually move my body. It's another aftereffect of the Primal Rage candy Mina made me. All I can really move, is my head and neck. At least Izumi didn't have to be hospitalized."
"You'll have to explain Pinach and the Primal Rage candy,when you get out." Todoroki sighed, sitting in a chair next to Kaen's bed. "However, that doesn't seem like it's gonna be for a while. The doctor's won't discharge you until you're full rested and recovered."
"You over exerted your body, by fighting Stain and Seryuu, while you were bleeding out. So this is needed." Iida said stated.
"How about you Iida, you doing alright?" Todoroki asked, with an inquisitive look on his face. "Stain was actually trying to murder you and that was before he tried to kill Kaen. Are you feeling all right?"
"I'll be fine." Iida said, moving to his bed. "Just thinking over some things I had done. An' perhaps I could have benefited from thinking a little more clearly."
"You were grieving over your brother's injuries. Anyone would have reacted that way if they were in your shoes." Kaen stated turning to look at him. "We're just glad that you're alive."
"Thank you." Iida said.
Before they could talk anymore, the hospital room door opened up to show Manual, Mirko, and Gran Torino were coming in.
"Oh, so the youngins are awake." Gran Torino said.
"Hi Gramps." Kaen said turning his head to the old man.
"Hey kid." Torino chuckled. "You look terrible."
"I feel terrible." Kaen sighed. "Where's Izumi?"
"Waiting out in the hall. She's worried about you, but wasn't allowed in, because the numbers allowed to visit has been reached." Torino stated.
"Manual." Iida said, his gaze filled with guilt.
"Idiots, the both of you." Torino sighed. "I could yell at you for hours right now, if that would do you any good and the both of you were under my care as interns, honestly with how reckless you were."
"Sorry." Kaen sighed.
"But before I do, you got a visitor." Torino said turning to look at the door.
"We'll just stand here quietly in the corner." Mirko said as she and Todoroki stepped to the side.
Kaen and Iida looked to the door as another person came into the hospital room. Kaen wasn't too shocked to find it was the dog headed Kenji, but he was shocked that he came to their room in person.
"This is Hosu's chief of police, Kenji Tsuragamae." Torino stated.
"Hello, it is a pleasure to meet the both of you. Now down to business." Kenji said gaining their attention again. "So, you're the U.A students who defeated the Hero Killer."
"No sir. It was Kaen, just him." Iida said, directing his attention to the Saiyan.
"Uh, me?" Kaen asked, looking nervous as all attention was on him now.
"Stain has some minor and major injuries. A few cracked and broken ribs, some major bruises, and a few cuts here and there on his body, as well a severe concussion, and a broken nose." Kenji said. "Right now he's under strict guard, getting his injuries tended to. Here's a lesson you should have already learned young man. When Quirks became the norm, the police force sought to maintain the status quo. We decided we wouldn't use Quirks as weapons. That's when Heroes came in, they could do what we couldn't, if they were licensed of course, woof. It would be impossible for the police to condone the use of deadly Quirks, after all we're here to stop such harm from being done. The only reason why pros can use their powers now, is by the strict code of ethics that the early heroes chose to abide by. That's why it's against the law for uncertified people to use their Quirks to cause injury. Whether you were up against the Hero Killer or not, you didn't have the authority to harm the villain. That means you, and your supervisor, Ryukyu, should receive harsh punishment for this gross misuse of your powers."
"Now hold on a minute Fido." Mirko said.
"Mirko, stand down." Torino ordered.
"Sorry old timer, but there's something he should know about Kaen, you as well if you don't already know." Mirko stated. "I gave Kaen my blessing to fight, so as my intern, he's my responsibility. Not only that, known as the Hero Super Saiyan, he already has a provisional license to work with."
"I'm well aware of his legal claim to fighting villains; my lecture was mainly just to scold him on his reckless foolishness, and for the Young Iida." Kenji said.
"Still, even if it's wrong and I didn't have my provisional license, I'd have still fought Stain. Sometimes you gotta break the rules to do what's right." Kaen said, an angered look in his eye.
"Easy kiddo. You might wanna hear him out on the rest first, before you go making up your mind about him." Torino stated.
"What I've said is the official stance at the police department. Of course, punishment would be unnecessary given evidence, and testimony Mirko and those who've fought alongside young Yagi, and even from our own investigation into his legal background, as well as my personal knowledge of his battles." Kenji said. "Due to a news chopper, your fight against Stain was broadcast all across Japan, so it's impossible for the police to cover the capture of Stain as a pro heroes doing. An' since everyone would most likely recognize you from the Sports Festival, it wouldn't be hard to put together what actually happened. But it has been publicly released that you fought with a provisional license, though how you obtained it, has not been made public, as that is no concern of the public's. During the incident with the other Nomu, Mirko had directed you and Midoriya to search the back alleys of the streets to find anyone else who needed to be evacuated. Afterwards, you stumbled upon Stain as he was about to kill Native and the U.A student, your classmate, and stopped him before you had Midoriya get them to safety, while also forced into facing off against him in battle to give Midoriya a safe getaway."
"That would mean Kaen would have to share the credit with Mirko's Agency for taking down Stain and his apprentice, and would be hounded by the media for a while, wanting answers as to how he did it, why he did it, and if he had any ulterior motives behind his actions." Todoroki said.
"Either way I'll still need to take responsibility for being negligent as Tenya's supervisor." Manual sighed.
With a remorseful look on his face, Iida stepped up to Manual and bowed to him in respect and regret.
"I'm sorry. I should have listened to you." Iida said.
"Yeah. You caused us a lot of trouble." Manual said, lightly chopping the top of his head.
"Wait a minute. You said the entire fight, had been broadcast across all Japan?" Kaen questioned, going pale a bit.
"Yes I did. Is something the matter?" Kenji questioned.
"I think I might know what it is." Torino chuckled as Kaen's phone began to ring, showing the caller ID to be Gine's.
"You might wanna answer her Kaen. Don't wanna make things worse than they already are." Kenji sighed.
"I can't. I'm paralyzed from the neck down for the foreseeable future." Kaen said.
"I got it." Todoroki said, picking up his phone, and answering the call, putting it on speaker. "Here."
"Uh… hi mom." Kaen said nervously.
"KAEN YAGI. YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE YOUNG MAN." Gine's voice echoed from the phone.
"Mom, I'm sorry… but I couldn't just let Stain kill Iida." Kaen said. "Also, you're on speaker."
"I understand why you had to fight Stain." Gine sighed. "So why did you put me on speaker?"
"Uh well…"
"Kaen didn't put you on speaker, I did Ms. Yagi." Todoroki said. "Kaen can't even move his body from bellow the neck at this point."
"What?" Gine questioned.
"To be fair mom, it's an after effect of Athena's Primal Rage candy she made for me." Kaen said.
"I'll have a talk with your sister about this. But I will stop by the Hosu Hospital as soon as I can. You better still be there, when I arrive." Gine said, before hanging up.
"That's a relief, I still have a couple days before she arrives. Her work at the hospital will keep her busy, especially when it'll be overrun by the injured victims of the Nomu." Kaen sighed, leaning his head back.
"Don't relax just yet. You've got something else coming your way kid." Torino said opening the door and sticking his head out. "Alright Midoriya, bring them in."
Kaen's eyes went blank, as Izumi suddenly surrounded his bed with tons of gifts, a few boxes, cards, and envelopes stacked up, completely covering his side table.
"What the hell's all this?" Kaen questioned.
"Gifts and other such things from the families of the Hero Killer's victims. When they most likely heard you were in the hospital after the fight against them, they must have thought to send you these, to show their appreciation to you getting justice for their fallen loved ones." Kenji chuckled with a smile.
"Well, now that we've got the formalities out of the way, our business is done here." Torino said, turning to leave with Kenji, before the chief of police stopped.
"Before I forget Kaen." Kenji said. "I'm glad you chose the name Super Saiyan. It suits you."
Kaen was silent, as Kenji just looked at him with his smile, before the Saiyan chuckled, laying his head back on his pillow with a smile.
"Glad you approve, damn mutt." Kaen snickered.
"Kaen, what exactly is your relation with the chief?" Iida asked.
"My dad has a friend in the police force, Detective Tsukauchi, he works under Tsuragamae. I'd sometimes follow him to work when I wasn't in school to see how he does his job at the desk. Usually that mean a lecture from my parents afterwards, and a whole lot of apologizing to Tsukauchi for the inconvenience of watching over me." Kaen chuckled.
"But he was never an inconvenience." Kenji smiled, pulling up a chair. "Whenever he was there, Kaen was never a bother to any of the men. In fact he was more help then a bother. But there was this one time, he somehow managed to get himself locked up in evidence, and to pass the time while waiting for someone to finally notice he was locked away, he reorganized all our evidence crates into a more effective system, leaving us with a lot more space then we had before. After we got him out, he was kind enough to put his system down on paper for us, and labeled which crates, were where."
"I was bored, and I didn't have a provisional license at the time so I couldn't use my Quirk to get out." Kaen said.
"Eventually he became known as the Little Secretary of the Precinct." Kenji smiled.
"Stop you're embarrassing me." Kaen said, turning away from him.
"But it's the truth. Kaen even considered all the work he did with us, as part of his training to be a hero some day, just as strong as All Might." Kenji smiled.
"That's enough." Ken complained. "If you're gonna stick around, the least you could do, is open some of my get well gifts for me so I know what they are."
"Alright, I'll start with this one." Kenji smiled, grabbing a box. "The tag says it's from the Iida Family, the oldest son to be specific."
"Tensei?" Iida questioned.
"So what's in the box?" Todoroki questioned.
"Let's find out." Kenji said, opening the box. "Well this is interesting."
"What? What's in the box?" Kaen asked.
"Looks like an Ingenium styled muscle shirt." Kenji said pulling the shirt out. "An' an Ingenium styled helmet."
Iida walked over and peered into the box, his eyes widening upon seeing what it was.
"That's Tensei's helmet from his hero costume." Iida said. "It's fully repaired and everything."
"There's a note." Kenji said. "It says, thanks for looking after my idiot little brother.' Guess he really didn't take too kindly the news of you going after Stain for revenge on what happened to him."
"I guess not." Iida said, blushing in embarrassment and frustration.
"Still I bet his lectures aren't as bad as…"
"KAEN." Izumi cried out, barging into his hospital room again.
"Izumi? What's the matter?" Kaen questioned, turning his head to look at her.
"It's Mina… She was taken by her father." Izumi said, with more then a bit of panic evident in her voice.
Kaen just looked at Izumi, a look of shock and horror on his face, before his expression turned to one of rage, the golden ember irises, and dark red markings returning to his eyes, with his canines elongating a bit.
