Out of all 40 students at camp, 15 were in a critical condition thanks to the one villain's gas attack. Eleven had other injuries in various degrees, thirteen got off without a scratch, one was missing. Out of the seven pros, one suffered a head injury, one couldn't be found, leaving nothing behind except a massive bloodstain. And one pro was in critical condition with fatal wounds from attacks from a chainsaw to wounds from a sword. He was close to death till the paramedics arrived, that hero remain unconscious.
Zero, ever since he entered the hospital, he never left Hero's side. He knows Hero's body is healing up quickly but that's not going to get him out of his possible coma. The reborn devil have always wondered about his fallen brother. Is he suicidal? Or so dumb that he's willing to injured himself for the sake of others? Or maybe he is who he is, "Oh Hero….if only you listen...but now at least we know who are facing" He smiled a bit then his stomach growls in great hunger, "Shit. I haven't ate for so damn long" He got up and kinda took Hero's wallet for a few 5000 Yen to get something to eat. He left the room and sees Kirishima, one of Hero's students silently sobbing. Normally, he just doesn't give a shit but since Hero is out of commission, someone gotta comfort the kid, "Hey. Kirishima, right?"
The saddened boy looks up and see the sickly man who bears the resemblance to Hero, "H-Hey…..You look a lot like if Hero and Aizawa fused" Zero chuckled about that,
"As you should know, that I am Zero, Hero's brother." Which spooked Kirishima,
"I thought you're dead when he mentioned you!?" He screamed, then Zero shushed him,
"I was dead. But my soul resides with Hero for a few years. It's a long and complicated story and I don't have time for it. Now what's up?"
The red head turned his face away from him, embarrassed to tell him something, "It's embarrassing…" Zero is kinda annoyed,
"Hey kid. I am not going to laugh or be disgusted. I am not an asshole….well I am but I don't discriminate others," somehow that worked and made Kirishima safe,
"I….I...I...I'M SCARED OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO TO MY BOYFRIEND!" He yelled so loud that it scared some people in the hallway,
"Boyfriend?" He think and put two and two together and realized who he meant, "Wait you and that angry bomb are a couple!?" He yelled and Kirishima nodded, "Well that's...interesting. I just don't know what you see in him"
"And that's why it's a secret. Everyone will question my relationship with Katsuki. Some might be against it…." He slumped down to the ground, feeling even more down than ever. Zero sighed and sits next to him, because he knows what would Hero do,
"Look kid, the one of the things I learned in life is this, if you're friends don't like your relationship with someone they don't like then fuck'em." Kirishima looked at him with a surprised look, "They either suck it up or shut the fuck up because your happiness is what matters. I mean look at me, I am a demon and been hunted like a god by people who hate people like me. Yet Hero defended me and treated me as his equal" Kirishima smiled a bit the punched Zero's shoulder,
"He must be one hell of a manly brother"
"He is. I know one day, he'll be fully happy with a family" Zero rubs his bandages on his arms as he embraced the blessing he is given today. He sighed happily, "Okay now tell me, how it all started"
"Well it started around after our match at the UA Sports Festival…."
A few months back…..
The manly student sits alone in the green room, disappointed in losing the match. He really wanted to go and impress the pros, wanting to be like his idol, Crimson Riot. He got up and began to head to the bleachers where his classmates are but before leaving, the guy he lost to, enters the room, "Bakugou?" He ignored him then walk right past him, the boy sighed then begin to leave,
"Oi, Shitty Hair!" He yelled, gaining his classmate's attention, "Nice effort you put in. Maybe good as Round Face" He still have that pissed off look on his face, but his voice does show he is impressed….kinda,
"Hey thanks man. You were manly out there! Good luck in the finals" Bakugo scowled at that remark,
"I don't need luck" The literal ticking time back grabbed a bottle of water and left the room, but not before slapping Kirishima in the ass, "Wanna do something this weekend?" His face is so pissed off the tiniest bit of blushing is non existent, but Kirishima got really excited and slaps Bakugo's ass in response, which he did not like,
"Yeah sure! We could go to the movies!" Like a puppy, he can't wait for the fun to begin.
Present
"So what happened at the movies?" Zero asked,
"Well we almost got thrown out but people did appreciate Katsuki beating up that guy who won't stop talking on his phone" Kirishima shrugged that one off, "So we ummm went to a photo booth and we took our photos. See." He showed the dark brother a strip of photos, 4 pictures in total, the first two where normal, Kirishima being funny while Bakugo still look the same in those two but then the third showed Kirishima kissing that bomb head's cheek. Zero thought it's going to end with a punch in the face but the last picture showed Bakugo kissing Kirishima in response, much to Kirishima's shocked.
Zero was very surprise at this but find it kinda sweet for both those boy's standards, "Wow. So you two really hit it off then"
"Yep. Though we agreed that it must be a secret. Because you know. We might get harassed by those who don't accept our love….God I still feel like shit! I'm sitting here doing nothing while those...those fucking villains are torturing my boyfriend or whatever the hell they're doing with him! I can't take it, every thought of him being harmed in anyway is getting worser and worser by the minute!" His tears starting to flow more, possibly making Izuku's constant crying look like raindrops. Though Zero can feel his pain and can't really stand to see him crying. Not because it annoys him, it's because he was reminded of himself when he was his age, weak, useless, letting things die. But no more! Not ever again!
Zero grabs the hero-in-training's shoulder and reassured him this, "We will rescue him! Even with the law against us! We will save Katsuki Bakugo!" That lifted up his spirits and the demon a nice tingle inside him, 'Huh so that's what Hero feels everyday. Go figure'
"Hey I'm planning to visit Midoriya, wanna join?"
"Well I got to see my brother's apprentice. Man it's like he's a son to him" He joined Kirishima to see Izuku, who is already being met with concerning classmates.
Midoriya's room
Izuku, first of all had the worst case of broken arms imaginable, he never knew that it would happen because of all that adrenaline in his body, ignoring all sorts of pain until he passed out at the camp grounds after watching his childhood friend get taken by the villains. He is now bedridden with casts on his arms, hoping things aren't than it already is. Then suddenly he is visited by almost of his classmates, except Jiro and Tooru because they have suffered badly from the gas. And Momo is dealing with a head wound from her encounter with the deadly Nomu, but Iida said that it couldn't been worse if Hero didn't showed up, but then they told him about Hero's condition that he suffered a massive wound in the shoulder and the lack of blood type that matches his type when they got him to this hospital. Though all 15 of them came to visit him, until Shoto bluntly said that Bakugo isn't here and they all know why.
Izuku's eye starting to welled up in so much tears, "Recently All Might told about how we sometimes can't saved someone who need saving because they were beyond our reach. So we gotta do our best to save as much people as we can…" His bitter tears flow down his cheeks to the pillows he rested on, "But I COULD reach Kacchan….I had the chance to save him but it turns out like Aizawa said would" He remembered those exact words on the first day at UA, 'You're totally useless after saving a single person' "I couldn't move my body" He tries his hardest to not to cry and try to be the hero he promised All Might to be, but it felt useless to try. He is useless now. Then Kirishima spoke up,
"Then let's go save him now." Everyone was shocked and confused by what he said. Kirishima and Shoto explained they came here yesterday and overhead Momo giving All Might a device to track the villains, she told him that they used on the Nomu that attacked them. The Symbol of Peace was proud of her quick thinking and told he that she is close into becoming a hero.
"So Yaoyorozu could make another device for us?" Iida asked, his eyes filled with disbelief in Kirishima's plan to save Bakugo, "NO! It's just as All Might said. We ought to this matter to the pros! This is not our place to interfere, you fool!"
"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT!? But still! I couldn't do anything" The fanged teen yelled, "When I heard they were after my buddy, I still didn't do anything! I couldn't do anything if I want to…" He holds back his emotions and tries to talk straight, "If I don't act now...forget being a hero, I'm not even a man!" His classmates tries to calm him down but it doesn't stop him, then KIrishima turned to Izuku with encouragement, "He's not beyond our reach just yet!"
The air here have gotten intense as Mina pointed out the plan Kirishima and Shoto made, and Shoto explained that the villains want from Bakugou since they didn't even plan to kill him as they were trying to kill them.
Iida was hysterically pissed off as he thinks they have a sick sense of humor in going out to save their captured classmate even though it's the job for the pros. Zero was dumbfounded by everyone's justification and excuses, why the hell they think that it's not alright to save Bakugo, 'Are they that fucking stupid? If they think the "pros" will have this done easy then they shouldn't be heroes at all. Not everything goes to plan! Not even the best heroes have their plans go accordingly. What the hell?' Zero felt disappointment as he couldn't believe that none don't have that heroic spirit. Why did Hero believe in these kids?
Tsuyu then spoke up, "We're all still shock over Bakugo's kidnapping….so we have to think about this calmly. It doesn't matter how righteous our feelings are. If we start another fight….It we break the law...then we're no better than the the villains!" That broke the straw on the devil's back.
He grabbed Tsuyu by the shirt with hidden homicidal intent, "Listen here you froggy bitch! I don't know you ever think before you speak, but now you are my number one in my kill list!" The students tries to get him to back off but they felt a menacing aura coming from him, "There's a difference in being a hero! And I can tell you are not a hero! Heroes are about risking everything to make sure peace and justice is still intact! We think we give a flying fuck about the law! We break the law for the sake of others, not for our pride or whatever this damn society relies on! We make sure everyone could sleep easy tonight!" Tsuyu started to teared up in fear, but Zero is not letting go, "Who the hell you think are? Thinking you could speak out your mind and get away from it? Huh?!" Everyone started to become scared then Zero turned everyone, "You all are just one big mistake. I don't give a shit about your "still in training" bullshit. Heroes don't always win, if they are filled with ignorance and arrogance! That's what I see in most of you. You don't deserve to be heroes!"
The only person who spoked is Shoto, who still feel fear from the devil hero, "Who are you?"
"I am Zero. Brother of your teacher, Hero…." His bandages became loose, showing a bit of his blood stained skin, a few students noticed it, "I am going to go after that bastard who put my brother in the hospital bed and fucking kill him and make he stay fucking dead" He tires to leave but Shoto froze his feet to the ground, thinking he trapped him,
"You're not going anywhere. Not with the mindset you have."
"Yeah. Killing is wrong." Mina said,
"It's best to let the actual heroes to deal with that man" Shoji added, then suddenly the lights in this room went out. Class 1-A freaked out and see glowing red eyes from the devil's eyes. Fueled by rage, he broke out of the ice trap and roared like a monster,
"You think they handle what we've faced? You think you can handled our demons!"
"Demons?" The class said altogether,
"Me and Hero are not from this world. We are aliens from an alternate universe that somehow ended up in here." He said so seriously then suddenly, Kaminari laughed this off,
"Oh that's funny I can't believe you think that's serious!" Then the air got dry and intense, "Right?"
"No. Have you ever noticed that we did things that makes your head tilt a bit?" Zero asked, :My attack on All Might or Izuku suddenly breathing fire?"
Those two things he pointed did raise questions and proves Zero's point. Especially about Hero and his many powers. They started to add up very quickly, it's actually unbelievable! Before they could question Zero even more, he already escaped. They decided to wait til Hero wakes up, in the meantime, some of the girls came and comfort Tsuyu after the traumatic experience she just faced.
Meanwhile….
Zero run across town like a wolf looking for his prey, trying to get some scent from Fright NIght who is possibly in hiding with the others. It's all in his mind, finding Fright Night and make him pay for what he did. He looked through every alleyway and every hotspot for villains to meet. All he found was nothing. Only ended with bloody dead ends filled with bodies on the streets. Never he knew finding that scumbag was this hard but he's not giving up, though he prayed that Hero would wake up soon so everything that this horrible world has brought upon would be over. Zero remember a song his mother once sing to him, a song from his favorite movie, that same very song that gave him hope for a better tomorrow, "Hush now, my baby. Be still love and don't cry. Sleep as you've rocked by the stream. Sleep and remember my last lullaby. So I'll be with you when you dream…..River, o river, flow gently for me. Such precious cargo you bear….do you know somewhere he can be free?...River, deliver him there…." He couldn't control the fresh tears from leaking from his red eyes. It has been a very long yesterday since he cried like this, having rage and sadness mixed into one, he wants everything to be alright but he knows that nothing comes free nor comes true. He continued his journey then come across a crowd of people watching the press conference of UA, seeing that there are a lot of tension between the reporters and staff. But nonetheless, he continue and came across the best of best in the Kamino Ward and see that the students beat him to it. He silently hides in the shadows by hiding on top of a building to see what happens next. Which means hear a loud crash and see the pros have secured the Nomus and begun their rescue of Rag-Doll, the pro hero that went missing.
Everything seemed to go as easy as planned...or so they thought. From his ears, he can hear footsteps coming closer and closer towards the pro heroes, he is wearing a casual suit, black loafers, and industrial mask that looks like melted Darth Vader helmet(best way I could describe his mask). The heroes try to restrain him but he overpowered them, the Number 4 Hero, Best Jeanist pulls Mt. Lady and Gang Orca away as the villain exploded, knocking the two out and leaving the hero on the ground wounded from the explosion. The villain revealed himself to be All for One, an enemy that All Might told Izuku a while ago, a very dangerous one at that.
Zero felt fear towards the man, but not too scared of him because he face much worse than this, can't say for Izuku, IIda, Kirishima, Momo and Shoto who are terrified by being in the same area of the man, shivering and holding their breath like trying to hide from a predator. Zero must do something, his eyes glow again as he takes his bandages off of his arms, revealing his blood stained arms. The blood have turned black after years and years of being on his arms for that long, he looks at his arms and all the evil he did with them. The memories of murdering those who were guilty of their crimes but the memories of murdering innocents also came into his mind...it won't change the past he lived in but he didn't care. He will save the day.
He jumped in front of the ultimate evil, "Oi bastard, where you keep Fright Night?" All for One was confused because he has no idea who this guy and how he know about his associates under Tomura's leadership,
"My my what kind of hero are you?" He asked,
"The one who kill kick your ass til kingdom come!" He punched him in the face but no reaction nor any movements from him, "What the hell?"
Soon the rest of the League have arrived including Bakugo. Seeing that a pro hero have arrived, Taro was about to intervene. But Tomura stopped him, "He can handle him easily"
"Don't count on it" Fright Night said,
"What do you mean "Don't count on it?"" He asked,
"Wait and see"
Zero throws another punch at All for One, but then he countered it with his powered up fist, neutralizing his attack. But Zero's arm suddenly broke and a bone tore and stick out of his skin, he gritted his teeth and tries to ignore the pain. The powerful villain laugh it off like he already won against him, "Looks like it hurt. I guess you're all talk" Zero laughed creepily and give him a sick twisted smile,
"That I was hoping for"
"Huh?" then suddenly he was unexpectedly stabbed by some black substance, "Gah!"
"This Blood Spike! A very nice trap for you!" His black blood grew spikes out of All for One's shoulder, giving him more pain. Zero laughed likes a mad man as his arm healed up by itself, "I guess you're the one who's all talk!"
'You'll see who's laughing now when I take your quirk away' Then All Might showed up, "All Might…."
Zero turned is head, "About time you show up" All for One puts his hand on his neck, trying to take away his power. He thought he'll take away his ability to manipulate his blood but nothing happened, then he sense something menacing,
"Hey asshole. That's my blood" He punched him, "Now!"
All Might punches All for One as well, but in quick time he rebound and punches back on the two heroes. They slide back from the impact, but still not out. All Might was confused in how he was able to not to lose his powers, "Hey. How did he not take your quirk away?"
"Because I never had a quirk. My body functions different than yours" he explained,
"Who are you?"
"Zero." He charged towards the villain but get punched back with his strength filled with multiple quirks fused to make it powerful. Zero kept attacking and attacking while All Might joined to help. Both put their hardest into beating that monster,
"Iron Fist!"
"Detroit Smash!"
Their combined attacks knocks him back a few steps but he just laugh how pathetic that it might harmed him, he punched them so hard that feel a second fist in their stomachs already. Zero on his knees, feeling pain have started to kick and now he's like a child taking a beating for the first time. He struggles to get up but managed to stand on his two feet, "I'm going to fucking kill if you don't tell me where you find Fright Night!" He yelled but cough out a bit of his black blood.
All For One laughs, "I will sell out my leagues origins. Especially when this will be the night where you two died" He runs up to Zero and punches him, All Might took the opportunity and punches All for One, making him skip a few steps back.
Zero yelled out, "Souls of the Lost!" A few spirits grabbed the villain and Zero punches him into the gravel and dragged him across the grounds like nothing. The league tried to intervene but Fright Night stopped them,
"Don't worry. I gave sensei a gift awhile ago. Those two will be six feet deep soon" His smile get more crooked and jagged. As the fight continued, All for One got up, still looking like he hasn't been damaged much. His arm turned monstrous and pumped up with a new power and he looks at All Might and Zero with a dead stare under his mask,
"Can you survive this?" He turned to a wall, "Izuku Midoriya!" He throws a punch at the wall where the students were hiding.
Zero runs quickly towards them, "Run!" But the blast have already made it pass by him, "Shit!"
All Might looked as his arch enemy with a disgustful expression and ready to beat the living out of him once more, "ALL FOR ONE!" He went beyond Plus Ultra on him as he kept punching him at least 500 time as he did to the Nomu back at USJ. Never before he felt pissed off, but at who? Izuku for disobeying orders, the students that possibly went along with him, or All for One willing to kill the young Midoriya?
The rescue squad quickly get out of the way but Momo accidently stepped on his disguise dress and fall down to the debris, ready to be killed by the blast made the sinister villain. But a black and red blur and grab the prodigy girl out of the way and jumped away. The blur revealed to be a man in a black dyed All MIght hoodie with a red mask around his eyes, a respirator mask with three holes on the sides, dark grey pants with boots with iron sole son the bottom. He also have black hair in a style of a certain someone. Momo looked up to her savior and recognized him, her eyes widen, "Hero?"
Hero stand and looked at every villain he sees and he growls in anger, for harming his students, "It's hero time…."
