AN: Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well. I was stressing out over a job interview I have tomorrow and wrote this chapter to relieve some stress...don't know why but here you are. Well that's all so let's just jump into it!
Help
Izuku walked out of the portal and into the old warehouse, "So you finally did it" Shigaraki said, walking towards him.
He nodded, "Yeah, he's dead but there is still one more thing to do" off to the side was a laptop, one that Izuku used to plan things out.
"What are you doing?" Shigaraki asked.
Izuku smiled, "Ever seen someone take down a worldwide company with a push of a button?" The villains all looked at each other confused, "Let me show you" hitting the enter button. Izuku uploaded something.
"Now give it an hour and watch his empire fall" Izuku said walking into the other room. "Call me when you see something on the TV about Jones, I'm going to get myself patched up and rest for a bit"
Izuku went over to his apartment, walking in he noticed that blood was still pouring down his arm. "Man Misaka wasn't playing around, she wanted to slice my arm off," Izuku said, pouring alcohol on the wound.
After disinfecting the cut he began to stitch his own arm, "This is going to leave a scar" he said finishing up the stitching. "Oh well I guess that's just another one to add to the collection" Izuku took off his shirt revealing his back and front were all covered in scars, almost all of them came from his training with the League of Assassins.
Izuku went off to take a shower but while in the shower he couldn't shake off a feeling of unevenness. He just killed Jones, he should be happy, but instead he felt...empty. Izuku decided to sleep it off, he could think of what was to come later, right now he was going to sleep.
3 hours later
"Izuku wake up" A voice said waking up Izuku.
Startled, Izuku got up fast and pulled out a knife from under his pillow, "Relax it's me" said Kurogiri.
Izuku relaxed, "Don't startle me, I could have killed you. So what's this about?"
"It's All For One, he wants to speak to you," Kurogiri said, opening a portal behind him.
Izuku sighed, "Alright, let's see what he wants," he said, getting up. After getting changed Izuku walked through the portal.
He was now back in the warehouse, Shigaraki was sitting down, with a monitor by his side that displayed the words AFO. "Ahhh Viper, it's been a while, Shigaraki tells me you achieved your goal"
"Yeah, I did," Izuku said.
"So what do you plan on doing now?" AFO asked.
"Honestly I don't know yet. I was thinking of going after the League of Assassins but I'm not sure yet. Maybe I'll go far away and start a new life" said Izuku.
"I see, then would you be open to the idea of working with us?" Asked AFO.
'I knew this was coming' Izuku thought. "Working for you?"
"Yes, someone of your skill is much too valuable to at least not try to get you on our side" said AFO, Izuku couldn't see him but he could tell from the other side AFO was smiling.
"Hmm, I'll consider it but first I want to know what you have planned. Then and only then I'll see if it's even worth my time" Izuku said with a bit of cockyness.
"You bastard! Don't get carried away" Shigaraki said, getting up from his seat.
"Shigaraki, enough. Sit down and tell him about our plan" AFO ordered.
"Yes sir, well it actually has to do with that girl you met before we left to kill Jones. That girl has a very special quirk, you see she can rewind the time of anything she chooses. With the help of some of the yakuza they managed to use her blood to make these" Shigaraki went over the counter and pulled out a small case, handing them over to Izuku.
"What are these, they look like tranquilizer darts?" Izuku said opening the box revealing 5 bullets.
"Those darts or bullets can erase quirks permanently," Shigaraki explained.
Izuku's eyes went wide, "Is this for real? If can mass produce these, you can restructure society"
"That's the point, we are going to use these bullets to kill the top heroes. So will you join us? With someone with your skill, we can kill the top heroes in no time" Shigaraki said.
Izuku thought back to Eri and the bandages around her body, "How do they get the blood from her?"
"The one called Overhaul, he completely destroys her body and from that he extracts what he needs. When he is finished he rebuilds her for reuse" AFO said.
Izuku closed the case and tossed it back to Shigaraki "Thought so...sorry but I'm going to have to decline. Torturing kids isn't really my thing, so if that's all I think I'll head out now" he said turning away.
"Do you really think you can just walk away?" Shigaraki asked.
"Uh yeah? I mean why couldn't I?" Izuku said, turning back.
"We just told you our plan, do you honestly believe we let you leave with that information" Shigaraki said, taking his hand out of his pocket.
That's when it hit Izuku, "I see, so this was all a trick. You wanted it to end like this, now it seems that I don't have a choice but to join. Let me guess if I don't you'll kill me?"
"I knew you would get it, well I'll ask again. Will you join us?" AFO asked.
"Tell me...is that girl still here?" Izuku asked.
"She is, we were told to take her to our doctor for future testing" Shigaraki said.
"That's good, I guess" Izuku said, taking a deep breath.
"Good? What do you mean?" Shigaraki asked, confused.
"That just means I can take her with me!" Izuku said, pulling out two throwing stars from his pocket, he then proceeded to throw them at Shigaraki hitting the palm of his hands.
"This is your answer Izuku. So be it, you will not live to see the end of today. Get him!" AFO ordered, suddenly the windows of the warehouse were broken and in jumped the rest of the League of Villains.
The blue flame of Dabi was seen as he ran towards Izuku, "Sorry about this man, this isn't personal!" he said, throwing his fire at Izuku.
Izuku quickly jumped out of the way of the fire, only to have Toga come up from behind him, knife in hand. "Sorry about this sweety but i have to do what I'm told or the hand guy will be mad" Toga took a swipe at Izuku cutting at his side.
Counter attacking Izuku grabbed her wrist twisting it back he snapped it, "Yeah I'm sorry too" he said as she let go of the knife. Izuku caught the knife and used it against her, stabbing her in the chest. He finished it off by kicking her in the stomach, causing her to go crashing into the wall.
Izuku couldn't even catch his breath when Dabi used his flames to burn his back. Yelling out in pain Izuku looked at Dabi, "You just made the biggest mistake of your life!" he said as his back was still smoking.
Izuku threw more throwing stars but Dabi slammed his hand towards the ground causing a wall of blue flame to appear in front of him. This in turn burned the stars in mid air, "You're going to have to try harder than that…" before he could even finish Izuku disappeared from view.
Looking around Dabi didn't see him, that's when two knives were plunged into his shoulder popping his shoulder right out of its socket. Dabi screamed out in agony as Izuku pushed the knives deeper, but just as he was going to twist them multiple swords came flying past Izuku.
Jumping back Izuku looked at who threw them, "This is the first time we met Viper. The name is Spinner" said a gecko looking man, he wore gear similar to that of the Hero Killer Stain.
"Oh another swordsmen, I didn't know the league had one. Let's see how good you are" Izuku said, pulling on the swords stuck in the wall.
Izuku ran towards Spinner, gripping his sword. Izuku swung from the side only to have Spinner block it with his own sword. "Oh you blocked it. Not bad but let's see if you can keep up"
Izuku continued swinging his sword and little by little he began to cut Spinner all around his body. As those two fought Twice went to check on Toga, "Hey are you alright? Actually I don't care!" he said with a look of worry.
Toga coughed out blood, "I'm fine...alright Twice it's time"
Twice's eyes went wide, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, now come on! You already know my measurements" Toga said, pulling out the knife from her chest. Twice nodded and quickly went to work creating clones of Toga.
Spinner started to lose ground so in a final desperate attempt he managed to kick Izuku in the stomach pushing him back. Bleeding from all the cuts Izuku made, Spinner prepared his final attack, "I may not be as good as you but I can do this" Spinner jumped on the wall behind him and then to the one across, with each jump he became faster and faster. Soon it looked as if he had afterimages.
Izuku's eyes began to follow Spinner, "Not a bad trick but it's useless if I can see you!" he said, thrusting his sword behind him.
Spinner tried to attack Izuku from behind but only got a sword stabbed into his stomach. "Y-You really are good," he said, spitting out blood. Izuku pulled out his sword and wiped the blood off.
However as Izuku was too into the fight with Spinner, to notice the clones of Toga. "OH Izuku dear!" the voice of dozens of Toga's clones echoed through the warehouse.
Looking back Izuku saw at least two dozen Toga's smiling at him, "Wow this is so creepy"
"You can take down one of me, but how will you do against this many!?" they all said in unison.
Izuku knew he couldn't fight against all of them so he did the one thing he could do, "Guess I'll just have to run" he said pulling out a smoke bomb from his pocket. Throwing it to the ground it immediately exploded causing smoke to fill the room.
Shigaraki was bleeding from his hands when he saw smoke filled the room, "I want him dead by tonight!" That's when he noticed the box of bullets had opened during the comotion. What he found surprised him, there were only 3 bullets in the box. Izuku had taken the other 2!
By the time the smoke cleared Izuku was already long gone. He ran down the halls of the warehouse checking each door for the girl. "Come on, come on where is she!?" He said to himself.
Finally swinging a door open he'd found her on a bed, "Found you" he said running into the room.
Frightened Eri cowered behind her legs, "P-Please don't hurt me" she said crying.
"I-Im not going to hurt you I swear. Remember me…" he said in a calm voice.
Looking up Eri recognized him, "I-Izuku…"
He nodded, "Yeah that's me, listen we don't have much time. We need to get you out of here"
"I-I can't, they will be mad at me" Eri said as her voice trembled.
Izuku saw the fear in Eri's eyes, "Don't worry, if you are with me no one can hurt you"
"D-Do you promise?" said Eri.
"I promise. Now come on let's go" Eri said as Izuku picked her up. Izuku couldn't help but notice that she was so light and undernourished. "We just need to make a stop at the apartment, I need to get something"
With Eri in arms Izuku bursted into the apartment, seeing that no one was there he quickly got a duffel bag that had weapons and some food. "Alright Eri let's go I have everything I need" just as they were about to go out through the door Izuku sensed something was wrong. He quickly wrapped Eri in a hug and no sooner than he did the door exploded spreading blue fire around the apartment.
"Where are you Viper, come on, it's time for round 2" Dabi said walking into his apartment.
"Damn I knew I should have killed him when I got the chance" Izuku said letting go of Eri. "Eri, get behind me, cover your ears and close your eyes.
Eri nodded and did what she was told, Izuku reached into his bag and pulled out a flashbang. Dabi walked into the living room, "Come on Viper! Show yourself" that's when he spotted three glimers of light coming from the hall.
As they got closer Dabi noticed it was more throwing stars, "You already tried this trick once" he said, burning them before they even got close. However he was too distracted by the stars to see that Izuku threw a flashbang at Dabi's feet, by the time he noticed it was too late. A blinding white light appeared followed by a loud explosion.
Dabi was now dazed thanks to the flashbang, this gave Izuku enough time to grab Eri, throw his bag out the window breaking the glass and jump out the window. Landing on the street Izuku looked around to see he was surrounded, "Viper honey, you can't run for me" said now at least 50 clones of Toga's, all armed with knives.
"I-Izuku I'm scared," Eri said, hiding behind Izuku.
"Listen Eri, get on my back and put your arms around my neck. No matter what, do not let go, I need two hands if we want to get out of here" Eri quickly jumped on Izuku's back and put her arms around his neck.
Izuku reached into his back and pulled out twin blades that hand long chains at the end of them. With little time Izuku wrapped the chains around his forearms and ran towards the Toga clones. Thrusting his arm forward the blades flew away from him and into the skull of one clone instantly killing it.
As the others attacked Izuku pulled on the chains recalling them, he then spun around killing a few more, but that's when they started to get smart. They knew if they attacked Eri and used her as a shield Izuku would have to stop attacking. One of the clones jumped into the air and landed behind Izuku, she lunged at Eri ready to snatch her.
Suddenly the sound of metal piercing skin was heard, looking down the clone noticed it had one of the blades stuck in her chest. Izuku had flipped the blade and pushed it behind him before the clone got Eri.
Izuku began to slice his way through the clones but numbers would soon win out if things kept going. I can't protect Eri and fight off the clones at the same time' Izuku thought to himself, just then a knife from one of the clones dug into Izuku's shoulder.
He quickly kicked the clone away but now he was down to one arm, "Damn it" Izuku grunted in pain as he pulled the knife out of him.
"Come on Viper I know you can do better than that" The clones said all at the same time.
Izuku gritted his teeth as he raised his now bleeding shoulder, "I'm just getting warmed up" he once again ran at the clones only to have a blue wall of flames appear in front of him. "Sh*t"
Dabi was back and pissed off, "Nice trick with the flashbang but unlucky for you I don't feel much pain anymore. Now hand over the girl and we might let you back into the League"
"And let you guys torture this girl even more? Not a chance, I'd rather die than let you take her" Izuku said pointing his blade at Dabi.
Dabi sighed, "Alright have it your way" he said, throwing a ball of blue flame at Izuku. Using the blade Izuku sliced through the fireball and jumped at Dabi. The Toga clones jumped at Izuku and in mid air Izuku would whip his chain knocking some of them down. However before the clones fell they threw their knives at Eri, Izuku saw this and quickly twisted his body around.
He managed to deflect a few but some still struck his arms and torso area, Izuku grunted in pain but it was fine Eri was safe. Before he could even land on the ground Izuku was hit on the side by a fireball, this sent him flying towards a nearby building.
Sliding down the wall Izuku grabbed Eri shielding her, hitting the ground. Izuku was bleeding from his arms and legs, "Well it looks like you are done" a voice said pushing through the Toga clones.
Shigaraka walked up to the now beaten Izuku, "Look at you all this for a damn kid" Izuku looked up as blood dripped from his forehead, "Master really thought you would join us, someone like you would be perfect here. You have no family, no friends, no job, no nothing but yet you risked it all for this girl, why?"
"B-Because she reminds me of me when I was little. The look in her eyes was so filled with despair, just like my own. I don't know what she's been through but at this rate she might turn out like me and that's a fate I don't want anyone to have" Izuku said.
"I see, you almost sound like a hero right now. Well doesn't matter once I kill you I'll have my bullets back and rid myself of you. You may have injured my hands but I can still use my quirk" Shigaraki said, reaching out to touch Izuku.
Izuku's eyes narrowed as he saw Shigaraki's hand get closer but that's exactly what Izuku wanted. Taping the heel of his foot to the ground a hidden blade at the tip of his shoes appeared, kicking upward Izuku sliced Shigaraki across the eye. "GAHHHH!" he yelled out as blood poured down his face. "You bastard! My f*cken eye!"
Using this chance Izuku reached into his pocket and cracked another smoke pellet, the smoke quickly disappeared but by the time it did Izuku was gone and so was Eri. With his one good eye Shigaraki saw the pool of blood, "Find them! With those injuries he couldn't have gotten far, find the girl but don't kill her. And if you find Viper, bring him here alive I want to kill him myself"
Hours later with Uraraka
Uraraka just spent the last few hours at the police station talking about the events that happened. Jones was dead and the news got hold of information about his secret underground drug ring, that was information that only Jones had on his personal laptop. The company didn't know who could have gotten that information but Uraraka knew...it was Izuku.
It was now almost midnight when Uraraka got to her apartment, as she walked up the stairs she noticed a girl standing infront of her door. "Are you alright?" Uraraka asked, walking up to the girl, who was wearing a black cloak.
The girl turned to Uraraka and removed the hood, "Are you Uraraka?" she asked, revealing her white hair and red eyes.
"Yeah, are you a fan or something..." That's when Uraraka noticed who she was. "Wait, you're that girl...the one Overhaul had captive. I think your name was Eri right?"
She nodded, "Yeah, I need to speak to with you"
"Wait before that let's get inside, we can talk there," Uraraka said quickly, opening the door to her apartment.
Once inside Uraraka saw someone standing in her living room, "Who the h*ll!" she yelled out. Uraraka wasn't going to wait for the person to move, she lunged at whoever this was.
But stopped when Eri jumped in front of her, "NO! Don't" she said spreading her arms out.
Uraraka stopped and turned on the lights, "VIPER!" she yelled out.
Izuku took a step forward and immediately fell to the ground, Uraraka ran over to check on him and that's when she noticed his back was badly burned. "W-What happened?"
"He was protecting me," Eri said, crying. Uraraka examined his body, he had several stab wounds and was bleeding profusely.
"We need to get him to a hospital…" she said but Izuku grabbed her arm.
"N-No..no hospital...need to keep her safe.." Izuku said, his voice weak.
Uraraka didn't really understand, "Alright, it's been a while but I think I can help him" using her quirk she carried him to the bed. Taking off his shirt and pants she noticed the wounds were much more severe than she thought. "W-Who could have done this to him...he was almost untouchable fighting us. Did he really put his body on the line for this girl?"
Running into the kitchen, Uraraka grabbed a medical kit she had, opening it she found alcohol pads. Izuku winced in pain as the pads hit his open wounds, "Sorry but this is going to hurt, just think of this as payback"
By the end of it Izuku passed out due to the pain and loss of blood, Uraraka walked out of the bedroom to find Eri sitting on the sofa. "I-Is he going to be okay?" she asked.
Uraraka smiled, "He will be fine, he's just asleep,"
"Thank goodness, I thought he would die after what they did to him" Eri said as a tear fell from her face.
"Who did this to him?" Uraraka asked.
"It was the hand guy and his friends," Eri said, thinking back to a few hours ago.
"Hand guy…" That's when it hit Uraraka. "Shigaraki, The League did this to him? Why? I thought he was working with them"
"It's because of me, Izuku found out what they were doing to me and saved me. T-they chased us and Izuku fought them but they eventually got him. This is all my fault.." Eri said, hanging her head.
"No this isn't your fault. I don't know who you think Izuku is but he is a bad man.." Uraraka said but was quickly caught off by Eri.
"He's not a bad man! He saved me!" Eri said yelling at Uraraka. "Izuku only hurts bad guys, he's my hero!
Taken by surprise Uraraka stepped back, "We'll talk about this tomorrow, for now go take a shower. I have some of my old clothes you can wear, after that I'll decide if I should call the cops"
Eri did as she was told and went to bed right after. Uraraka stayed up until the morning thinking about what she was going to do, after all she was kind of helping a villain right now. However after much thought she decided to give Izuku the chance to talk, then she would decide.
The morning came and Izuku was woken up by the sun hitting his face, opening his eyes he noticed he was in an unfamiliar place. "Looks like you are finally awake, good" a voice said. Looking to his left he found Uraraka sitting on a chair, phone in hand.
"I-I actually made it..thank goodness. Is Eri alright?" he asked.
Uraraka nodded, "Yeah, she's sleeping on the couch right now"
"Good, I need to tell you heroes something," Izuku said while relaxing on the pillow.
"What?" Uraraka asked curiously.
"Not only you, this needs to be shared with more heroes" Izuku said. "I need you to call a meeting with that taskforce of yours. I know you can do it, you are a top tier hero"
"You think I'd just do what you tell me? After you killed so many, yeah no chance" Uraraka said, getting up.
"If you don't then all of society will fall" Uraraka stopped.
"You're lying"
"Are you willing to take that chance?" Izuku said, staring at Uraraka.
"Let me ask you something...is it true that you threw yourself in harm's way to protect Eri?" she asked.
Izuku nodded, "Yeah, I did. How about this get me this meeting and I'll surrender, no fuss, no fight, no tricks. I'll just give myself up"
Uraraka was a hero and here was Izuku, the most dangerous criminal laying in her bed, willing to give himself up. "Alright deal, we'll go after you eat some breakfast. Can you stand?"
"Yeah I think I can" Izuku removed the blanket over him, when he did Uraraka blushed. Izuku was standing there without a shirt and no pants, she could see everything.
"P-Put some clothes on first!" She said running out of the room.
Izuku smiled, "That was a cute reaction"
After eating breakfast Uraraka called a meeting at UA with the original task force. Aizawa and All Might agreed to it and set the time for the meeting at 11am, however they didn't know why she wanted this meeting. All she said was it was important to the case.
Uraraka arrived at UA alone, walking to the conference room she opened the door to find everyone waiting for her. "Uraraka you're here, so what is this meeting about? You said it was urgent" All Might said.
"Yeah, it's about Viper," Uraraka said.
"You got some new information?" Aizawa asked, confused.
"Y-You can say that I guess, look...you all trust me right?" Uraraka asked nervously.
Everyone looked at each other, "Yeah of course. Why would you even ask something like that?" Momo said.
"Just trust me when I say that I'll explain everything" Uraraka took a deep breath and opened the door. "Alright you can come in now"
Everyone looked at the door with anticipation, slowly Izuku began to walk into the room wrapped in bandages and with Eri by his side. "Viper!" Aizawa yelled as he jumped over the table and threw his capture weapon.
Izuku grabbed the weapon and pulled, overpowering Aizawa. Seeing this Aizawa tried to kick Izuku but missed, this gave Izuku the chance to punch him square in the chest sending him flying towards the wall.
The rest of the heroes prepared for a fight, Izuku got in front of Eri shielding her. "Enough!" All Might said. "Uraraka we trust you but why is he here? You'd better explain yourself right now"
"I made a deal with her All Might, I wanted her to call this meeting. There's something you all need to know" Izuku said, staring everyone down. "I have information you all should know" he said as Aizawa picked himself up.
"Why would we believe anything you have to say!?" Momo asked with her quirk at the ready.
"Cause if without my information, you heroes will probably be dead by the end of the month. Look I agreed to turn myself in after this so relax and listen" Izuku said.
All Might sat down, "All right, let's see what you have to say"
Izuku reached into his pocket which made everyone put up their guard. "Easy, everything starts with this and her" he said pulling out the quirk eraser bullet.
