Confessions of a Former Bully – Part 2
"The truth may hurt a little while, but a lie hurts forever."

Izuku (Deku/Deathsinger) POV

At the old, abandoned, and dark alleyway where no one could see his notorious wrongdoing, the young man with his formal villainy outfit together with his three captives who were all chained up with warm and heavy chains around their bodies and later hung upside down on a bent metal lamp post. He couldn't help but to laugh sinfully while watching them suffer, with his trusty little notepad on his hand he marked a strikethrough line on their names, concluding that his side objective had finally finished. What the three men realized for a short time that the villain was his former classmate who died a long time ago.

"D'aaaww~ I'm surprised you didn't join that asshole's footsteps in going to the U.A? And now you're all chained up like Karma is giving you a taste of your own medicine. What happened to your boastful attitude towards me, huh?"

"I-It can't be you…."

"Y-You were….t-the one who attacked the…U.A. T-The….Deathsinger?"

"Y-You can't be Izuku Midoriya….he died…years ago.."

"What does it feel like when your bodies are all chained upside down? Hurts, doesn't it? Did you still remember when you were all slaves of my old childhood friend? Always following orders to please him by beating me into a pulp at the back of the school just because I was quirkless? You all treated me like a joke in middle school and now you face the consequences. Hmm?" He let out an evil smirk before manipulating his chains to crush their bodies a bit tightly, resulting in the former bullies moaning in pain.

"G-GGAAAAAHHHHH!"

"Oooh~ I can hear someone just broke his ribs while toying with you three? It's not too much to ask, but I would like to hear your apologetic words from you all otherwise I'd tighten the chains even more and say goodbye to this cruel world~" He chuckled.

They couldn't able to speak nor breathe by the chains until one teen nervously let out an answer.

"W-We're…s-so…sorry…"

Izuku came closer to the teen before placing his hand on other's face, caressing it in a teasing manner. "Hmm? What did I hear? What is it again?"

"W-We're very….very…sorry…I-Izuku. P-Please forgive us…"

Upon hearing those words, the villain let out a chuckle before loosening the grip of the chains to let them breathe properly.

"You all should've said it before I made a knot to kill myself inside my room. People start to care when it's too late. What a hypocrite world we have~" His green eyes turned red before letting his final say.

"Consider this as a gift for my comeback….and I hope you learned your lesson…!" He unleashed multiple red bolts of lightning eldritch power in the large direction, dealing damage to his captives and released powerful sting on parts of their bodies, screaming in pain they received until the moment they passed out, all unconscious.

The villain released them from the shackling chains, placing them on the ground with an emotionless look on his face. He left the scene before muttering.

"Be thankful, I still have a little amount of mercy in this world….this unfair world…"

Bakugo household (Evening).

Kirishima and Todoroki arrived at the house and was welcomed by Katsuki and his parents. His classmates gladly joined the family for dinner and everything went well. The mother, of course, asked so many questions at the two, mostly about their personal and family background in which the two didn't mind at all. They also talked about school and training and it's like a couple of years left before graduating and become a fully pledged pro-hero. Moving forward, they finished eating dinner and the two thanked the parents by bowing before Katsuki assisted them upstairs to proceed to his bedroom.

"Hey, Bakubro! Your mom told me you're a good cook! Every food I ate was so damn good!" Kirishima teased him.

"I was only preparing ingredients and my mom was the one who cooked for us, you idiot. Besides, she doesn't want me to go lazy around this house otherwise I'd get ass whopping again…" He huffed.

Todoroki gave a slight chuckle which the red-haired looked surprised.

"Oh my God, you smiled and chuckled! Probably, the rarest thing I've ever seen!"

"Am I not allowed to have a positive reaction when you're making lame and puny jokes?"

"And yet you were chuckling! Ha!"

"Oh my God…" Todoroki rolled his eyes.

The three arrived at the door as the ash blonde opened it before letting them in. "My room is not that big, but if you want to sleep here afterward then I added some sheets and pillows on the floor. Just place your bags at the side"

"I was expecting a messy and unorganized bedroom, but I really don't mind this neat and clean room you have."

"My room wouldn't be like this if I didn't invite you two in the first place."

Bakugo walked towards the door and closed it before going back to the two. Todoroki found a chair to sit on as his mood started to get serious.

"So….what truth you want us to know about? Whatever the outcome will be, we're still here for you. Don't ever think the whole class will neglect you regardless of what happened"

"Yeah, I won't leave my Bakubro no matter what!" He raised a thumbs up with a wink on his eye.

He let out a sad smile and sat on the bed, under his pillow, he grabbed an old picture of him and Izuku when they were kids and even before he became a hard-headed jerk. He gave the picture to Kirishima and later shared it to Todoroki.

"His name is Izuku Midoriya. I mostly call him 'Deku' as his nickname which I made just to make fun of him when we were kids.." He glanced over at the red-haired. "During the uprising at U.A., the day you passed out from fighting, the time when Todoroki and I managed to fight him and finally broke his mask….the Deathsinger we'd encountered was him all along. So this is the answer you've been asking for earlier."

He raised an eyebrow. "What? That's impossible. How did the Izuku guy become a villain? You two were childhood friends."

Katsuki cleared his throat as he looked at his friends. "I know Todoroki witnessed what Izuku said during his introduction, am I right? Which is why I'm going to tell you my side of the story."

The half-and-half teen slowly nodded.

"My family moved to Musutafu when I was 5-years old and the time that we'd finally settled here by buying a house, there was someone beeping the doorbell at the gate and so my mom and I walked outside of the house and saw a lady holding a welcoming gift and it looked like a big plate of food. She introduced herself as our neighbor a few meters away and behind her was the green-haired shy kid holding an All-Might action figure with a nervous smile. From my first impression of him, he's somewhat reserved and introverted, but open to make friends around the neighborhood."

Flashback

Inko greeted her new neighbor holding a welcoming gift with a smile. "I've noticed that your family have finally moved in and still unpacking some stuff. It's not too much but, please accept my gift. I am Inko Midoriya and if you need assistance on tidying up your home or anything, I'd be glad to do so."

Mitsuki happily accepted the gift with a blush. "Wow, this kind of custom rarely happens these days, but thank you so much! That was thoughtful of you and I really appreciated it. We'll enjoy this gift to my family and I can't wait to taste this! Oh! I'm Mitsuki Bakugo by the way." She chuckled as she noticed there's a young boy hiding behind the mother. "Uhh…is that your kid holding an action figure?"

Inko introduced her son with a smile. "Yes! His name is Izuku and he's my only son. He loves roleplaying as a hero and watching All Might videos on the internet although it shows a little violence."

"U-Uhmm… h-hello.." Little Izuku shyly bowed twice.

"He's so cute! My son admires All Might too and I bet they'd be best friends!" The mother brought her son. "You have a new friend on the block. Come on and greet him."

The little ash blonde's eyes widened upon seeing the action figure Izuku was holding. "Awesome! I love All Might too!" He offered him a hand with a grin. "The name's Katsuki! Katsuki Bakugo."

The other kid blushed a bit before the two made a friendly handshake. "W-Well… I'm I-Izuku…Midoriya.. I-I admire All Might a lot…and I want to be…a hero like him someday.." He chuckled.

"That's my greatest dream too! Heh, you're not bad for a friend. From now on, you're my best friend in this city!"

"E-Eh? B-Best friend? I-Is it…too early?"

"I don't care! We'll play villains and heroes and watch all of All Might's videos on the computer and we'll discover our quirks in the future!" Katsuki placed his hand on other's shoulder.

Izuku's eyes sparkled upon hearing his newly found friend's words. "O-Of course!"

The two chuckled as the mothers just watched their kids making new bonds.

"Your son sure looks confident on my Izuku.."

"That's the Katsuki I raised so it couldn't be helped."

Present

"Okay, that was cute.." Kirishima giggled.

Todoroki blinked "To think that you two were a huge fan of All Might, I used to be a closet fan of him, but since I've finally confessed to you guys, it's not a secret anymore…"

"I don't know if you're trying to be funny or what? Aren't we all a fan of All Might? Of course, we do! You're not a true U.A student if you're not All Might's fan."

"It's not even a mandatory requirement—" . He mumbled.

"Believe me or not, it is—" Katsuki interrupted them.

"Do you guys want me to throw you out of the house and debate all night instead? That is only the first part and I'm just getting started."

The two apologized for being an arse and continued listening to their classmate's story.

"We've become best friends and also part of my life back then. We did silly roleplaying of heroes and villains, doing a crazy re-enactment of All Might's heroic adventures in a public playground, everything friends would do in their childhood years. He was like a little brother to me until that day….everything changed when I finally discovered my own quirk in kindergarten. I felt amazed and very cool, with that I made more friends and forgotten my childhood friend who was always there for me. Though I could still believe one day he would receive his quirk, maybe he was just a late bloomer or just shy to show off his power" Katsuki clenched his fists. "….until I got tired of waiting. I was overconfident, stupid, and always self-centered I parted ways with Izuku. Hell, I even teased him for being unable to do anything or cannot achieve anything which is why my peers and I called him 'Deku'. He didn't mind at the nickname, but from the first reaction of him, he was very upset that I made fun of him. Our bonds had faded when we reached middle school. We rarely talk nor hang out at break time for I have my own group of friends, while Izuku didn't have many friends just because we think that he's one of the weirdos in the whole class. Our parents didn't even know that our spark of friendship isn't there anymore so we decided to keep our thoughts to ourselves. I treated him like shit and teased for being weird and quirkiness. Sometimes, we beat him up at the back of the school after class for no reason at all and ruined the stuff that is special to him.

"Hero Analysis for the Future, huh? What are you gonna do with this trash?"

"P-Please, Kacchan! Give the notebook back to me!"

"You still don't have a quirk and yet you're writing this nonsense? Seriously, Deku when will you stop doing this?" He prepares to blast the notebook he was holding using his quirk, making the teary-eyed Deku plead loudly.

"N-No, Kacchan don't!"

The notebook had scorched and exploded before getting thrown off at the window. Katsuki let out an evil smirk and came closer at Deku.

"What are you gonna do about it, huh? Can you just stop pursuing your ambition to enroll at U.A. and become a hero? You're only getting in my way to achieve my dream! I don't think students and teachers at the school will accept you in open arms for being quirkless. You, already disgust me, Deku."

"K-Kacchan, d-don't say that even without a quirk, I-I can—"

"You can save everyone?!" He cut him off. "That's the most bullshit thing I have ever heard coming from you!" He leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear. "How about this…do me a favor, go up to the rooftop, spread your arms like a wing and jump off the roof. Soon, you'll get a quirk you want….in the afterlife."

He let go of him and turned away. "You'll understand eventually that you're useless without a quirk. Do not test my patience nor dare follow my path, little shit!"

Katsuki stopped for a moment as his tears started to fall. He covered his face using his one hand while the other one hammered it on the bed with frustration and guilt. Todoroki and Kirishima came towards the ash blonde and sat on the bed to comfort him.

"Ba-Bakugo…" The red-haired looked at him with a worried expression.

"Take your time." Todoroki sure understood the pain before he slowly nodded.

"Y-You don't have…an idea…how foolish I was to Dek…to Izuku." He wiped his tears using his wrist before he continued talking with a sob. "A-And then, few days before…our graduation. W-We received unexpected bad news coming from our homeroom teacher regarding Izuku. Our teacher opened the television and the first thing I saw on the screen was a picture of him and later I looked down at the headline that…"

"What is it?" Todoroki looked at him.

"H-He committed suicide by hanging…he died because of me…! All the pain and bullying I gave to him…All because of me." He burst in tears once again, decided not to continue anymore. "Sh-Shoto….Eijiro…he d-didn't die of suicide…I-I killed him….HOW COULD YOU BE A FUTURE PRO-HERO WHEN YOU KILLED YOUR CHILDHOOD FRIEND?! HOW?!"

He silently cries as he grabbed the two for a tight hug. The two, on the other hand, couldn't say anything but they tried to encourage him to stay strong and hold on a little bit.

"I might not understand exactly how you felt before and now, but as I said before…we are here and will always help you. Help me understand the pain you've been going through. I can sense somewhere deep inside your heart that you didn't mean it…you didn't want to happen….and you still care for him even if he changed differently."

"W-We're really sorry, Bakubro…for you had to go through with it."

"T-Thank you…Thank you…for understanding my pain..for being here with me…I-I won't forget this."

Inko Midoriya POV

The mother placed a bowl of Katsudon and lit a white candle at the picture of his 'departed' son, Izuku on the table before muttering a prayer to keep him safe and well in the afterlife.

"Here's your favorite, my Izuku. A generous amount of Katsudon just like you wanted." She smiled and left the dining area to watch the television. Sitting on a sofa and changing the channels for a few seconds until she found the channel where she is binge watching some drama series. A half an hour had passed, breaking news interrupted her show and started to listen to the latest report.

Reporter: We have to cut the program you're currently watching as we bring you the breaking news for tonight. The Hero Council and police force led by Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi have finally identified the person behind Hero-Villain hunter, 'The Deathsinger'. The two parties are confident enough that they have sufficient evidence to prove that the villain's real identity is the late and departed boy named 'Izuku Midoriya' who died three years ago by suicide, but the investigators hinted that a group of League of Villains revived him as the true purpose of bringing this boy's life is still unknown. His last whereabouts were two weeks ago when the said organization invaded the U.A. and he was also present at the scene. Hero wardens from prison made a statement that two shadowy entities with a warp quirk helped him escape the facility. This young boy is still at large, armed and dangerous and if you have encountered this before, don't hesitantly call to the authorities with the numbers on your screen. Take care and stay safe.

After the shocking news she heard ever in her life, her tears suddenly came out and later on dropped on the floor as she couldn't believe on what she saw on the news. Her boy, her baby, her only son Izuku, is alive and turned into a corrupted villain by the forces of evil. She didn't know what to do or how she would react of the outcome. She was just…all speechless and hysterical at the same time.

"M-My I-Izuku…w-what did…they do to him..?" She covered her face with sadness pouring all over to the devastated mother.

All Might POV

"I really wish he didn't make a mistake. Disclosing all the information to the press is not a problem, but why am I still seeking answers for me to come up with a solution to maintain the symbol of peace? The balance of all things?" He made a doubtful thought, thinking about his close friend detective while looking at the night with stars dazzling at the skies.

"This colorful past, the bright and the dark are like a handful of dust. It filters through your fingers, little by little. I wish, for one day I could go back, in another life, I will do things differently."

All Might in a weak and thin form talked to himself at the coast and lasted for almost an hour. He was about to leave when a boy in a black hoodie appeared by his side. The hero slowly approached him and asked.

"It seems you are as well pondering. Care if I join you, young man?"

The boy didn't respond for a few seconds before answering...

"Of course, I wouldn't mind. But first, I would like to have an autograph from you. I used to be a huge fan…." He finally looked at him with glowing red eyes and a slight grin

"Mr. All Might.."
