Sorry for not posting for a while, school and the projects for school really gets in the way of making these. Plus the story writing block I went through writing this.
Anyways, here's chapter 5
Izuku and Stain begin their journey as partners on the field. Hoping from rooftops examining the area.
The first day was just going over where they were to get Izuku to focus on surroundings, people, and watching to get a feel for things.
The second day was spent watching some new hero. Well, he wasn't really new, he just spent his first 5 years doing the bare minimum.
Izuku felt conflicted about this hero. /He's supposed to be a symbol, sure nothing near All Might but at least he should help out. Was this what being a hero was truly about? Just having a flashy quirk? Is that why All Might said I couldn't be a hero? No, no, this is All Might we are talking about. Maybe it's just this hero./
"Kid, not only do you have to shut up, but you have to realize that this guy, isn't a one of a kind when it comes to heroes. I've been doing this long enough to know that that isn't true. I know you fanboy about heroes too much to realize what they truly are. Not everyone is as good as they seem. Like that Kaachan kid you keep talking about. That is why we must do this, to show the world that heroes aren't what they seem and just manipulate."
"Y-your right, but, killing seems a bit far. What about showing them the error of their ways? That way we change them, and therefore change the world." Stain rolled his eyes with disgust looking away from his protégé.
Stain waits a moment to answer Izuku. "Sometimes I forget you are just a child. One that sees the good that isn't there. I was like you once. Young and hopeful to see the heroes change. I tried doing it just as you said when I started this path. However, the change never happened. They just wanted me dead. So, I decided to show them true fear. And show heroes that they truly don't follow the philosophy they should. Maybe one day, you can change it to be how I envisioned. Maybe not, however, we do need to at least take out the ones who aren't true heroes and use the name for money, power, and more."
"Killing can't be the answer! Right? We can change them! Like Kaachan, I know he can change! He'll be one of the best heroes not only with his powerful quirk but with his words too! We can change them!"
Stain turned around and got right in Izuku's face. Red eyes glowing just like Kaachan's when he got angry. "He was the one who told you to kill yourself! How can he be a hero? Before I even began to train you I could see the scars he gave you! He bullied you, tortured you, verbally abused you, and who knows what else and you believe that that kind of person can truly become a hero? A person with nothing except the duty to save everyone? How? HOW?!?"
"I-I-I-" Izuku's head was in spirals, his entire life was spent with constant bullying and suffering and he believed the head of it all was meant to be a hero? Was Stain right? But, Kaachan's drive, it was as strong as All Might's. He may not be on the path now, but surely he could change, right?
"We've had a long day today, let's head home and get rested for tomorrow." Stain left jumping from roof to roof towards home with Izuku behind him.
1 month later (4 months until UA Exam)
Izuku killed someone. He forced someone to leave this world into the afterlife. He was now, a villain.
Sure, he's hurt people before now during the last month, but Stain was the one who killed him. But now, the blood was on his hands. The worst part is how much this hero reminded him of Bakugo. The attitude, threats, powerful quirk, believed he was a god among men, and attacked those below him.
Izuku wished he could say it was on accident to, but it wasn't. He purposefully killed this man. Stain and Izuku were watching him for a while, almost two weeks, when they found the perfect way to take the hero out. Izuku did the analysis on his quirk, and other things the hero may use, just like what was in his journals, while Stain came up with when to attack, and if Izuku was strong enough to take him out. When they finally attacked him Izuku was only supposed to give Stain an opening. Then, the hero sparks his hand and uses the famous right hook. Izuku however, doesn't see the hero, he sees Bakugo charging at him.
'I've had years to learn to counter this move. I'll prove to you Bakugo that I'm not the same Deku anymore!'
Deku slides to the heroes right, grabs his arm mid punch, and snaps his elbow bending it the opposite way. While the hero screams and tries to recover Deku pounds at him nonstop. Eventually to the point where his gloves are covered with blood. Stain slowly walks over and grabs Deku on the shoulder.
"You got him. Now let's go home."
A month later (3 months before UA Entrance Exam)
It's been 2 months of being on the field and Deku has already made a name for himself. Villains around Japan have heard of Stain and his partner Deku the ruthless hero killers. No return now.
'To think I started this journey to become a hero, or at least a vigilante. What have I become?'
"Deku! Get ready for the next mission!" Stain shouted from outside Deku's room.
"I'm on my way!" 'Is this what I've become? To just be a hero killing villain? If I could see my past self now. He'd be terrified.'
Deku suits up for his next mission and goes out to study a new hero. Every 2 weeks Stain would send Deku out to study a hero then report to Stain what he's learned. Then Stain will decide if Deku should go in alone or if Stain should join.
While Deku is out Stain goes to find his own hero to see if they are worthy. This has been the process they have been repeating for the past 2 months.
2 months before UA Entrance Exam
Shigaraki has begun forming the League of Villains and hiring random thugs to help him destroy All Might.
While having an army of thugs may be enough to defeat some children who are just going through puberty may be enough, pros are going to be there so he tries to recruit other strong foes.
While Shigaraki is currently gaming, Kurogiri is cleaning while watching the news.
"Reports on Stain's killings have just come in for the past month. It's said he's killed a total of 4 heroes just last month alone." One reporter tells the other.k
"So that brings the total amount of hero killings to 25?"
"I believe so. Quite a lot. But he isn't the only hero killer."
"Ah yes, his partner Deku. He's made a name for himself in the past 3 months. "
"Yes—"
"Kurogiri, turn that off. I've had enough of all this talk about Stain. It's been Stain this. Deku that. I've had enough!" Shigaraki slams his hand on the table causing it to decay.
"Now Shigaraki, don't you think Stain or Deku could help you defeat All Might when you attack UA?" All For One states through the T.V.
"I mean, sure they have good stats. But, come on, them? I guess if I need them in my party..." Shigaraki thinks about it for a bit. "Kurogiri, go tell Stain that we would like to recruit him."
"Yes sir." Kurogiri teleports away.
At Stain's Base
Kurogiri teleports to the middle of Stain's Base. As Kurogiri looks around, he sees a flash of red light before Stain appears with a knife to his back.
"Why are you here?" Stain threatened.
"You know why I am here. My master would like to meet you and the child."
"The child? What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. The apprentice you have taken in. Is he not a child?"
"He isn't going anywhere. I know exactly what your master wants with him."
Kurogiri opens a portal right under himself. "Master didn't just want him," Kurogiri says as Stain falls through.
Deku was standing in the hallway watching it all unfold until Stain goes through the portal. Deku jumps right at Kurogiri as he reforms.
Deku punches Kurogiri's gut, which Kurogiri opens a portal there. Deku keeps punching and kicking all around Kurogiri trying to find a weak point while Kurogiri just opens portals to the sky.
Eventually Deku kicks the back of Kurogiri's neck, pushing him into a wall. Kurogiri turns around and his golden eyes stare right back at Deku, unmoving.
Kurogiri begins to cover the entire room and Deku gets absorbed into the darkness.
Deku falls through and as he lands he hears a voice call to him. "Welcome to the League of Villains, kid."
As Deku opens his eyes and realizes he didn't die, he observes the room. 'We're in a bar, they've tied up Stain, only two of them. One has teleportation with so far no limitation, the other... unsure. Lots of weapons to use though, maybe enough space for combat, probably not.'
"Ah, Izuku Midoriya, it is good to finally meet you!" the voice from the TV calls out. "I've heard so much about you. Your skills are incredible if I do say so myself. I've read a couple of your journals. A true masterpiece. Switch a couple of things in that journal and it could easily be made into the heroes worst nightmares."
As Deku looks at the screen, he begins to truly realize how much danger he is in. 'To think, how much about all of the heroes I wrote could be a weapon to them. And, by the sound of this guy, he wouldn't hesitate to kill them. Maybe I should have coded them.'
'No time to get distracted Deku! Focus! They clearly want me, but why? They went through a lot simply to bring me here.'
"Oh, where are my manners. I haven't even explained why we brought you here. I guess your also wondering why we tied up your master. Don't worry about that. Shigaraki, untie Stain."
"Ugh, fine. Can't believe your letting him free."
"Wait, what's going on. Why am I here?"
Stain gets up from his restraints as he turns to Deku. "Well, thanks to all of your missions with me, you've been getting a lot of attention. I didn't want to tell you because I felt it would cause you to do worse with all the stress but here we are."
"You sound like you knew this was going to happen!"
"The point is, you've become a bit too well known and because of it, these guys wanted to recruit you. Hence why we are here."
"Recruit me? For what?!?"
Oh simple, to kill All Might." Shigaraki says nonchalantly.
"You guys want to? Oh, I get it now, this is some test. Alright thanks but I've had my fun. We can go home now Sensei."
"Deku, they're serious."
"What! No, you can't kill All Might! That's impossible."
"Now, now, nothing is impossible, especially killing All Might," the voice on the TV states.
"How are you going to kill All Might? Plus, how are you even going to get All Might to come to the right spot? There are so many things that you'd need to know."
"We have most of that planned, don't worry." Shigaraki states.
"Midoriya, don't you hate All Might? Especially after what he did to you?" the voice asks.
"I-I don't hate, I mean, kinda. I don't know!" Deku begins to panic.
"He abandoned you. Told you you were worthless.Left for dead! Don't you want to show him how WRONG he was? How WORTHLESS he is? How STRONG you are?"
"Yes!" Deku shouts.
"Then join us, and together, we can defeat All Might."
"Alright, I'll join!"
Stain stares at Deku with how easily he was just manipulated. And then leaves as Deku joined the League of Villains.
I've been gone for a while. Hopefully I'll have the next one out sooner.
