Chapter 14: Aftermath

A News Helicopter was flying towards chaotic Hosu City.

"From the News Chopper to the studio… I'm reporting live from the skies of Hosu City! I'm reporting on a different story but look at this. There is fire and smoke rising from different locations on the streets. Are these from accidents, or from rioting villains? We haven't gotten any information about the situation. I will report as soon as I know."

"Okay, cut".

The Cameraman lowered his camera and looked at the devastation.

"Keep shooting".

The Cameraman was surprised, but lifted his camera and kept filming. "I wonder what that is?"

"Where?"

"Over there. By the water tank on top of the highest building. Can you get it"?

The cameraman aimed his camera towards two figures. It was Shigaraki and Kurogiri. Shigaraki scratched his neck furiously.

"That damn kid".

He used his binoculars to monitor the Nomus. He saw two of the Nomus' heads cleanly cut off and one laying on the ground with his head incinerated. He grabbed his binoculars and turned it to dust.

"Let's go back."

"Were you satisfied with the results, Tomura Shigaraki?"

"The kid killed them all, but the Nomus did cause a huge amount of destruction. It all depends on tomorrow. The world will know who we are".

~Hosu General Hospital (The next morning)~

Talking could be heard outside the door. Iida had just woken up and could hear people outside his door. Iida got up from his bed trying to remember what happened.

"Are you awake?"

"Manual…"

"Stay seated for now. You have a visitor".

Iida sat up as he saw a tall man with the head of a beagle enter the room.

"This is Hosu's chief of police, Kenji Tsuragamae."

"You must be the U.A. student who encountered the Hero Killer, right?"

"Yes."

"When we located you, the Hero Killer was nowhere to be seen. All that was left were two bodies. One belonged to a Pro Hero. The other belonged to you. Since you are a U.A. student, I'm sure you already know that when superpowers were still becoming the norm, the police attached high importance to leadership and standards and made sure Quirks were not used as weapons. And then, the profession of "hero" emerged to fill that gap, woof. For an individual, such as yourself, to use their Quirk, in order to cause injury to anyone, without specific instruction from their guardians or supervisors is a clear violation of the rules. You went after Stain without Manual's notice. We talked with Nezu and have come with one conclusion."

"What conclusion?..."

"You are no longer able to attend U.A. and are no longer allowed to visit Hosu City."

"W… What?"

"Your actions aren't the only reason you've been expelled from U.A."

"What's the other reason?"

"There's a reason why Manual told you to stay seated. Unlike Ingenium's condition, you can most likely recover your ability to walk."

"To… Walk"?!

Iida removed his blanket and saw his legs. They had stitched covering his calves and he couldn't feel them.

"My… legs… I can't feel my legs!"

"You can still recover. Look at your legs. Even if you're not able to feel them, they are still shaking. You will be able to walk again…, however… Your Quirk".

The room fell silent.

"What about my Quirk?"

"The surgeons had discovered something horrifying. When you were on the ground bleeding out, the blood was coming out of your calves. I'm sorry to say this but after the attack… they've diagnosed you as… Quirkless".

~Stain Hideout (8 hours earlier)~

Toga was in the kitchen, preparing herself a cup of ramen while watching a movie.

"Man, I wonder where they are".

Exactly as Toga said that she heard a huge crash on the roof. "What the Hell"?!

~Rooftop~

"HE DESERVED IT"!

"I DON'T CARE"!

Both Izuku and Stain were on the rooftop, trading blows with their weapons. Izuku was pushed back by Stain's katana and Izuku looked towards the Hero Killer and took a fighting stance.

"Why are you getting mad?! Out of everyone! YOU! THE GODDAMN HERO KILLER!"

"WHAT YOU DID WAS UNNECESSARY!"

"In your eyes… maybe."

"What do you mean, "maybe"?!

Izuku put his sword away and crossed his arms. Stain did the same and tried to calm down. Izuku took off his mask, showing his sweaty, bloody, and exhausted face.

"You would've gone after that kid anyways."

"What are you talking about?"

"If he became a Pro Hero, he would be hellbent on trying to find you. I believe he would've found you…, but I know, even if he's gotten much stronger, he wouldn't have a chance. You said that you will try to cleanse this world from all the fake heroes, until the world has realized their mistake, right?"

"And?"

"They never will".

There was a long pause between the two. Stain stood there frozen, wondering what Izuku was talking about.

"Our Society is corrupted. The people in this world, they only believe what Politicians, Pro Heroes, and anybody of the higher class say. They don't care about anybody, but themselves. If you're a villain in this world, then nobody would want to take your side. What I did to Iida, yes, it was brutal…, but I don't think I regret it. He won't get hurt by anyone… and he won't hurt anyone".

Stain crossed his arms and walked towards Izuku. Izuku stood there waiting for him to say something. Anything.

"You really don't regret torturing him."

"I had to sacrifice his Quirk to make sure no one else would get hurt".

There was another long pause. Stain put his right arm on Izuku's shoulder.

"I may be a villain, but I hate needless bloodshed. When you explain the situation, It makes sense. You are right, this society is corrupt. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. Here's some advice, however. You are still a pure-hearted hero".

Izuku's eyes opened wide as he heard those words. Stain crouched down and looked Izuku in his eyes.

"I know that the last thing you'd want to hear, but it's true. No matter what you do, you still want to save others, you still want to help, and you still try to show the world what's right and wrong. Villain or not, you are still you. Do whatever you want with that information, but just remember".

Stain took his hand off Izuku's shoulder and walked past him. "You are a True Hero".

Stain opened the roof door and entered his hideout. Izuku stood there, looking at the sky.

"T… true… hero"?

Izuku fell to his knees while still looking up at the sky. He sat there looking at all of the shining stars that were sparkling in the sky.

"Ha. Why? Heh. Why now"?

Izuku's eyes were fill with tears, even though he tried to keep a smile. He looked to the ground as his eyes kept filling with tears. He grabbed his head and fell on the ground.

"Why? WHY NOW DAMNIT"?!

Izuku began to cry even harder. He tried to lift himself off, but kept crying harder. He began punching the rooftop and cried much louder.

"WHY NOW?! WHY NOW?! WHY NOW?! WHY NOW?! WHY NOW?! WHY NOW?! WHY NOW?! WHY"!

The rooftop now had a little crater from Izuku's constant punches. Izuku just lay there, completely exhausted and sad. As he began to lose conscious, he saw a shadowy figure near the roof door. He reached out, but quickly passed out.

~Stain's Hideout (Present;Rooftop)~

Izuku woke up from his sleep to see himself in his civilian clothes and having a pillow and blanket.

"What the?... ow".

Izuku looked at his damaged right hand, covered in bandages.

"Right. Better go downstairs. I wonder what happened after all of that".

~Stain's Hideout (Kitchen)~

Izuku made his way to the kitchen and saw both Stain and Toga watching the news.

"Look who finally woke up."

"Morning to you too. What's going on?"

"Watch".

Izuku put all of his attention to the T.V. screen. The news headline was "Special Report: League of Villains strike again"? Izuku began listening to the news anchors.

"The three villains arrested and restrained during Hosu City's riots are all men with unknown addresses and identities. Based on their distinctive appearance and the presence of two people NHA TV filmed by chance, there are those saying they are connected to the League of Villains that attacked U.A. High School last month. Around the same time of the incident, The Hero Killer, Stain, has struck again. After the villains were defeated, Stain has killed another Pro Hero and severely injured a U.A. High School Student. The Student who was injured was Tenya Iida, the younger brother of Ingenium. The police are waiting for him to recover, in order to question the young Hero-in-training. This shows how ruthless the Villain is. He will certainly leave a mark in the history of crime in Japan… no, the world. Why does he keep committing crimes? What is he after? No one knows yet…".

Izuku looked at Stain who didn't show any type of emotion.

"... In other news, the police have alerted us to share the following information to you all. During the attack, the Pro Heroes only defeated one of the villains, thanks to endeavor. The other two were actually defeated by a… vigilante"?!

This caused Izuku, Stain, and Toga to pay closer attention.

"This unnamed figure is now wanted by Police. If you happen to see this figure then, report it to the Police or Pro Heroes".

Izuku took a step back as he saw the suit. His Suit

'Shit'.

Stain and Toga both looked back at Izuku.

"That's... your suit."

"I can explain."

"You don't need to".

Stain walked towards Izuku and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"It like I said… Pure Hearted Hero".

Stain let go of Izuku and went to his room. Toga looked at Izuku again.

"Shigaraki is gonna be pissed~"

"I know. Hopefully I can actually explain myself before he tries to dust me."

"Good luck. We have what? 2 days left?"

"Yeah."

"Better make em count. See you for training".

~Unknown Location~

"Last night, just before 8 pm, the two other villains were found decapitated, probably from the Vigilante who was seen".

Kurogiri turned off the T.V. to see Shigaraki's reaction. Behind his mask, Shigaraki gave off a creepy smile when he read and heard the news.

"That's right. Remember our names. Remember what we did."

"What about the Vigilante?"

"What about him?"

"You surely know that's Izuku, correct?"

"I know, but I got what I wanted. The Nomus caused enough damage to the city, in order to forget about the Hero Killer's acts. He just became some secondary story like that U.A. kid".

Genius Office~

"Regarding the incident last night in Hosu City, in west Tokyo. With the defeat of the villains resembling the Nomu who attacked U.A. and the new Vigilante, you are probably all worried about that right now. Yes, it is something I am also very worried about. People tend to only pay attention to big events. However, it is especially at times like this that heroes must remain calm. Chaos can sometimes tempt people and draw out the cruelty that lies sleeping inside them at their core. Which means, it will be business as usual for us today, as well. Let us brace our minds and bodies with our tight jeans."

"Sure, Best Jeanist"!

Bakugou was in the back, trembling in both anger and anxiety. As everyone was dismissed, Bakugou went to sit down and pulled out his phone. He was looking at different articles when one particular story caught his eye. "The return of vigilantes"? Bakugou opened the article and played a clip from the Hosu City attack. There was a similar Nomu from the U.S.J. that was facing off the Pro Heroes.

Apparently somebody didn't get the memo about "Evacuation". The person recorded as different Pro Heroes began attacking the Nomu at the same time. As all of this was happening, a dark figure pulled out their sword and rushed the Villain. With one swing, it's arm was gone. Bakugou kept watching until the clip was caught off as the Vigilante broke out of the Ice and went after Todoroki.

'Those movements…'.

Bakugou's thoughts were interrupted as he got a text message from "Shitty Hair".

"What the hell does Kirishima want"?

As he opened the message, he began to text him.

"Bakugou! Did you hear?!"

"What? I was fucking busy"

"It's about Iida"

"Four eyes? What about him?"

"Didn't you know! He was attacked by the Hero Killer. I just got a text from him. He's not attending U.A. Anymore"!

This got Bakugou to sit up straight.

"He's what"?!

~Gunhead Agency~

"What! Do you know anything else?!"

"No. I just got the text. Weren't you in Hosu City?"

"I was there for one day only. I don't even talk to Iida!"

"Whatever. Did you at least hear about the Vigilante thing?"

"Hmm. Oh, yeah! I've seen it on the news. Why?"

"There's something off about him."

"Off? How so"?

As Uraraka was talking on her phone, Gunhead walked towards her.

"Uravity, we're starting basic training."

"Oh, Right! I've got to go. Tell me later."

"Whatever, Round Face".

Ochaco closed her phone and turned to Gunhead. "Your boyfriend?"

"Oh god no! Unless you call an explosion to the face a way of affection, then he just one of my classmates".

~Stain's Hideout~

Izuku was in the Dojo, meditating. After everything that's happened, he needed to take a break. He tried to clear his mind completely. Clear his mind from heroes, villains, and every single thing he's ever known. He only tried to focus on one thing. 'Control'. He began doing breathing exercises, not opening his eyes.

"Izuku".

Midoriya sighed and looked behind him. Toga was at the doorway.

"What is it?"

"Training. Get off the floor."

"Really. Now?"

"SeE yOu FoR tRaInInG were your exact words."

"You're mocking me."

"Get your ass up".

Izuku did just that and got into a fighting stance. Toga did the same. "Ready when you are."

"Go"!

Toga rushed Izuku and went for a kick. Izuku countered her by pushing her leg away and went for a punch. The Punch didn't land as Izuku felt something sharp on his stomach.

"I win".

Toga was crouched down, holding a knife at Izuku's Stomach.

"How the…"

"When you guys are asleep, I train myself to the brink of collapse… it isn't worth it".

Toga stood up straight and began stretching her arms.

"What do you mean "Not worth it"?"

"After all that effort, you'll get one hell of a hangover. Why do you think I keep trying to go to sleep"?

Izuku didn't like her methods. "You're overtraining yourself."

"Not really."

"Yes really. What are you trying to prove anyway?"

"I'm not trying to prove anything."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not!"

"Yes! You are!"

"I said I'M NOT, MIDORIYA"!

Toga rushed Izuku and tried to attack him. Izuku dodged the knife and pushed her to the ground.

"What is it?!"

"SHUT UP"!

She viciously swung the knife around, trying to hit Izuku. Izuku could tell she was out for blood. Izuku dodged Toga one more time and punched her in the face, making her let go of the knife. Midoriya kicked the knife away and looked back at Toga. She was infuriated.

"Himiko! Just tell me why… AGH"!

In a blink of an eye, Toga got up and kneed Izuku in the stomach. She didn't stop there she pushed Izuku to the floor and kept sending punched to his stomach, chest and face. Izuku didn't fight back this time. As Toga got ready to deliver the final blow, Izuku grabbed both her hands and headbutted her. Toga got off Izuku and looked at him, infuriated. Izuku however, just laid there. Toga got up and grabbed Izuku by his shirt.

"FIGHT BACK!"

"no".

Toga's eyes went from pure rage to regret. Her eyes were quickly filled with tears as she saw what she did. Izuku had a bloody nose, his forehead had a cut that sent blood running down his face, and to top it all off, he began spitting out blood. Izuku got up and walked away.

"Izuku…"

"Don't."

"I'm sorry."

"Me too".

Izuku left the dojo and made his way to the bathroom. Toga just sat there.

'I'm sorry…'

~Toga Household (5 Years ago)~

'... Izuku.'

Toga said as she started hiding in her room.

"They were right! Look in here"!

Three Police officers entered Himiko's parents' room, seeing two dead bodies. "Disgusting".

Toga opened her window to escape, but dropped her lamp in the process.

"No."

"Did you hear that? Go! Go! Go"!

It was 7:24 pm and it was raining. Himiko got out of the house and jumped down, landing on top of a police cruiser.

"Crap."

"Who's that"?!

Toga covered her face with her hoodie and began running away.

"Stop"!

The chase was on. Toga tried to lose the cops, but she knew she wouldn't be able to outrun a car. She hid behind a dumpster and waited for the police to leave. After two minutes, she got up and went down an alley.

"There you are"!

Toga saw the police officer in front of her and immediately ran the opposite direction.

"Where do you think you're going"?!

The police officer grabbed Toga by her hair and arm. "You're coming with me."

"Let go"! Toga went to her jacket and pulled out a knife and stabbed the Officer's arm.

"AGH! WHY YOU LITTLE"!

He smacked Toga and pulled out the knife.

"I'll make you pay"!

The officer pulled out his gun and aimed it at Toga. Himiko covered her face and didn't move. The gun was fired. Toga slowly opened her eyes. The rain made it hard to see, but she knew what was happening. She saw somebody grab the cop's head and turned it into dust. The cop's body fell, shooting out blood.

"Don't just sit there"!

Toga looked up to see a light blue-haired kid's hand in front of her.

"That gunshot already told everyone we're here. It's now or never!"

"R… Right"!

Toga grabbed his hand and was pulled into a dark portal.

~Unknown Location~

The portal opened into a broken down bar. Out of the portal, Toga and her savior came out.

"Shigaraki! Are you ok?"

"I'm fine Kurogiri. I just needed her to live".

Toga got up and got pulled out another knife.

"Who… are you?"

"Jeez kid, calm down. I just saved you, didn't I?"

"Why?"

"We've been watching you, Toga."

"Watching me?"

"We think that you could be an extremely powerful ally."

"In what?"

"The… We don't have a name yet, but all you need to know is that we're villains".

Toga gripped her knife tighter. If they were villains, then she could be in trouble. Villains?

"You can't be villains? You just helped me!"

"Jeez is that what you think villains are like? Just cause we do bad stuff, doesn't make us… bad? I don't know how to describe it".

Toga felt a bit weirded out. She didn't think they were a threat to her though. She put away her knife and sat down.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"Shigaraki, you keep her company, I'll prepare something".

Shigaraki took a seat next to her and looked at her.

"You seem like you have questions."

"I do."

"Ask away."

"Um… who are you? Your name."

"Oh, that. Tomura Shigaraki. The guy who's making you food is Kurogiri… and you're Himiko Toga, right?"

"Uh huh".

Kurogiri came back with two ham sandwiches with melted American cheese.

"I'm sorry if this won't suffice."

"Thank you"!

Without a second thought, Toga grabbed one sandwich and gobbled it up. As Shigaraki saw her reach for the second sandwich he quickly grabbed her hand.

"Hey, hey. Calm down. Try to enjoy the food."

"Oh… I'm sorry. I haven't gotten anything to eat in 2 days, so…"

"TWO DAYS"?!

Kurogiri was shocked at this revelation. Sure, All for One and Shigaraki were monitoring both Izuku and Toga, but neither of them knew that she was starving to death!

"You know kid, you can just say with us. On one condition however."

"What condition?"

"You would need to join the… um… League of villains?"

"Really?"

"I'll probably change it."

"No you won't."

"Will you just join us or not"?!

Toga thought about this. Even if she wasn't a villain, she's still wanted. As long Izuku didn't know, he should be safe, right? But…

"No."

"What?"

"I said no. I really appreciate the offer. I will most likely join you guys in the future, but not now. You guys seem so nice too." "But?" "But if there's one thing I've learned".

Toga grabbed her hoodie and began walking out the door while looking back at Shigaraki and Kurogiri.

"There's no peace for me. There are no heroes, no one to trust, and a curse I have to live with. This is the world we all live in. And I can't, I won't…".

~Stain's Hideout (Present)~

"Let anyone see…". Toga clenched her fist and punched the floor with all her might. "See how weak I am".
