Author's note: I know that in the last chapter, Mount Lady didn't even get to develop a crush on Black Knight like at all. But that's the point, I cannot just make her fall in love with him right away. Love takes time for some people. Not everyone is going to instantly fall in love just because that someone you just met turned out to be cool. I heard of that sometimes too. But that cannot be applied to everyone. So that's why Mount Lady told all reporters that she and the other heroes are going to bring him in. But that didn't mean she won't developed a crush on him, of course. I'm not sure how will her feelings for him be affected when it is revealed that he has been part of the League of Villains all along when the news about the U.S.J Incident reached the public. But I guess that if she already developed feelings for him by that time, then I guess her opinion about him will be divided just like those within the Class 1-A after they all survived the attack started by the League of Villains. Now, onward to what the Order of the Hood is. Just like the League of Villains, the Order of the Hood is a villains' organization with the goal of changing the society too. But the members of the Order have different way of doing things from those who are part of the League. However, they are not the main antagonists that I was talking about back then. The Order of the Hood is going to play the role similar to that of the Shie Hassaikai. And yes, this organization actually originated from Marvel like the Black Spectre. However, I also combined it with another organization so that it can have aspects of both groups in one as well. And I know that some of you guys may think why I don't call this group the Masters of Evil, am I right? Well, I have two reasons. The first one is that I actually forgot about that but that reason actually originated from the second reason here, which is the fact that the League of Villains is essentially playing the role of the Masters of Evil of MHA already. Well, in a sense, I think because to me, the League of Villains is somewhat the combination of the Masters of Evil and the Sinister Six. But back to Order of the Hood, I have two reasons that required them to exist in the story. The first one have something to do with All Might's retirement and the second one is related to how will the main antagonists of this story rose to power and dominated the entirety of the Hero Society. If I played my cards right, of course. And I hope I do. Because it's quite a long way to get there. To be exact, I'm still considering the second reason is a good idea or not because what are they doing will give the excuses that the main antagonists needed to seize control of the Hero Society and reorganize it in the image they wanted it to be. And what they wanted won't be good to the League of Villains or the Order of the Hood like at all. But the point is that if I decided to have the Order of the Hood do something stupid and it led to some sort of seizure of power by the main antagonists, nobody may willing to come and join their organization anymore in their war against the new regime imposed by their enemies. By the way, New Age of Ignorance has won the voting poll. So that's why I changed this story's name from New Middle Ages to New Age of Ignorance.

Chapter 4 Meeting The Hero Killers!
A week has passed after the incidents related to the Black Spectre. Izuku is now spending most of his times each day improving his skills in using the Ebony Blade in a secluded area arranged to him by All For One and Kurogiri. Ever since he defeated the Black Spectre, he decided to practice his skills in swordsmanship and horse riding. Sometimes, Kurogiri often brought the other members of the League to come and help him with in practicing his skills. Today, Kurogiri brought with him five other members of the League along with him and Lady Nagant. The first one is a man with reddish brown hair in white tank top, brown pants and metallic helmet named Victor. The second one is a hulking obese man in stitched pale green suit with gas mask on the face and three horns on the head named Stitched Giant. The third one is a short man with face similar to that of a snail in dark blue shirt and dark blue pants named Sickle Claw. The forth one is a young woman in purple bodysuit with sleeves sporting a gray and light purple pattern along with black boots named Needle Hair. The fifth one is also a young woman as well. However, she sported the different hairstyle and also wearing magenta boots, magenta skirt, a magenta sports bra and two large arms bands with dark shades of magenta. Her name is Martial Hair. And they are here today on the request of All For One to teach Izuku how to fight using the Ebony Blade and to help with his horse riding skills.
"My, you're quite a cutie."Said Needle Hair as she's looking at Izuku, particularly at his face.
"Agree wth you, girlfriend. He's definitely a one cute boy!"Said Martial Hair while also looking at Izuku the same way her friend does.
"Um... girls. I think you're making him feeling uncomfortable."Said Stitched Giant as he's pointing out that Izuku does not feel good at all with these two young women are being flirty toward him.
"Psst! Don't worry, big guy! I already have you!"Said Martial Hair as she turned around and hug the green giant in gas mask, thus indicating that she is his girlfriend.
"And I already have Chomper."Said Needle Hair
"You mean the guy who has the head as a venus flytrap?"Asked Izuku
"That's him, kid."Said Needle Hair
"AHEM!"Said Lady Nagant, who's standing beside Kurogiri, and that got the attentions of everyone.
"I brought you guys here to train him. Not to distract him with your love lives!"Said Lady Nagant and that prevent the conversation between them to go further.
"Now, let's start! We'll begin with the melee combat first!"Said Lady Nagant and with that, Victor, Stitched Giant and Needle Hair leave the group to stand aside to watch how will Izuku practices with Martial Hair and Sickle Claw.
"Begin!"Said Lady Nagant and with that, Martial Hair turned her ponytails into blade-like weapons and run toward Izuku with Sickle Claw. As for Izuku, he pulls the Ebony Blade out from the scubbard when his opponents reached him, the fight begin. Martial Hair uses her ponytails turned blade-like weapons tojab at him time and time again. However, Izuku managed to block them easily by using his Ebony Blade. Then, Sickle Claw appeared on his left and attempt to slash him with his right claw. But Izuku turned around and block him easily by using his sword. He then hear Martial Hair is approaching him from behind. So he immediatey pushes Sickle Claw out and turn his attention back to her. When she launched her ponytails turned blade-like weapons toward him, he simply ducks one time and lean his head to his left another time. Now, she is left open. As soon as Izuku approached her, he stops and point the Ebony Blade at her neck.
"I think I won."Said Izuku with a smile on his face. When Martial Hair is about to say yes to him, she sees Sickle Claw is approaching him from behind and ready to grab him.
"I don't think so, kid."Said Martial Hair as she's smirking. And that's when Sickle Claw jumps to tackle him. However, Izuku simply ducks and let Sickle Claw to land on Martial Hair instead!
"OUCH!"Said Martial Hair and Sickle Claw in unison after he clashed down onto her. Izuku then walks up to them and offer one of them a hand, which Martial Hair takes after Sickle Claw himself gets off of her own his own.
"Impressive."Said Lady Nagant after she and Kurogiri have witnessed the whole exercise.
"Should we redo the exercise or move on to the horse riding one?"Asked Izuku as he turned around and look at both of them.
"No need. Your performance is good. However, improvement may still be required."Said Lady Nagant
"Are you... going to train me personally?"Asked Izuku
"Right after another round of you practiced your horse riding skills."Said Lady Nagant and with that, Izuku gives her a nod. Then, he turned to his right and yell for Aragorn to come.
"ARAGORN! TO ME!"Said Izuku and with that, Aragorn suddenly flies down from the sky and landed before him, thus shocking most members of the League of Villains who're there, except for Lady Nagant, who's merely impressed but show no emotions on her face.
"Everyone, this is Aragorn. Aragorn, this is everyone. Well, almost of everyone, of course."Said Izuku, knowing that Shigaraki is still playing video game at the bar at the moment.
"Enough talking, kid. Let's get to work!"Said Lady Nagant and with that, Izuku quickly gets on Aragorn's back. After that, the white winged horse takes off into the air. But of course, he didn't go much high because Izuku instructed him not to since this is the exercise about him riding Aragorn in the closed area. Despite that this is not a closed area, both of them have to pretend that they are in on for the sake of keep the exercise going.
"Now, you three attack! Give them everything you got!"Said Lady Nagant and with that, Victor raises his hands up and begin to open fire from his fingers while Stitched Giant fires lasers from his face. As for Needle Hair, she fires strands of her hair as bullets to them after she harden her hair. Izuku and Aragorn do their best to get pass through the hail of lasers and bullets. Aragorn swirls around while Izuku tries his best not to scream while Aragorn's doing such a move while those lasers and bullets are still not far from their backs. But for most of the time, Aragorn simply keeps flying in the air at the right height while those three down below keep shooting bullets and lasers nonstop. As this is happening, Lady Nagant and Kurogiri also observed how things are going. They looked at how good Izuku is at riding Aragorn to how good Aragorn is at outrunning those lasers and bullets. Once they've seen enough after seeing how fast Aragorn is and how good Izuku is at riding his white winged steed, Lady Nagant calls for the exercise to come to an end.
"STOP!"Said Lady Nagant and with that, Victor, Stitched Giant and Needle Hair stop firing at Izuku and Aragorn. Once they stopped firing at them, the young knight and his winged steed landed on the ground.
"How was our performance, Lady Nagant?"Asked Izuku as he's getting down from his horse.
"A little better than I expected for someone who just started riding a horse, let alone one that can fly."Said Lady Nagant as she's approaching him.
"However, your swordsmanship clearly needs some improvements. But I am not the one who is fit for that role."Said Lady Nagant as she's standing before him. Then, she turned to Kurogiri.
"Kurogiri, a portal to Hosu please."Said Lady Nagant and without a word, Kurogiri transformed himself into a swirl of dark fog that is acting as a portal.
"I know two persons in Hosu City who can help you with your skills with the sword. Now, come along, kid!"Said Lady Nagant as she's entering the portal. Soon, Izuku and Aragorn followed. Once they all are inside, Kurogiri also disappeared as well, leaving the five villains alone.
"Wait! Then how will we get back home?"Asked Martial Hair
"Maybe Kurogiri will come back and pick us up later, I guess?"Asked Needle Hair
A few minutes later, on the rooftop of one of the buildings in the Hosu City...
"Here we are. Thanks for the ride, Kurogiri. And if you don't mind, you can go and pick those five up and return them to the bar with you. I will contact you once we're done here."Said Lady Nagant after she left the portal with Izuku and his white winged horse. With that, Kurogiri simply nods and use his quirk to return to where he came from earlier to retrieve those five villains and return to the Bar with No Name with them.
"So... who are we looking for?"Asked Izuku as he turned to face the former pro-hero turned villain.
"The Hero Killers."Said Lady Nagant as she's looking at the city down below.
Later, inside of an abandoned five-story building in Hosu City, the sounds of slashing and clawing are echoing all across the place. The walls and the paths of floors from the ground floor to the forth floor are soaked with bloods and corpses of zombie ninjas in black ninja outfits who are armed with katana and yari lying dead around on the ground. On the fifth floor, a man in red scarf and black combat suit with yellow bandages wrap around his arms is killing a horde of the zombie ninjas by using a katana in his hands. However, he is not the only one here who is fighting against them. Nearby, a woman with long black hair tied into ponytail in black jumpsuit and black boots is also killing the zombie-like ninjas by using her nails that are 12 inch long each. Their names are Stain and Leady Deathstrike, the duo who are known as Hero Killers! As they are killing a horde of zombie ninjas, two figures are running out through one of the broken windows and landed on the ground safely despite jumping from the very high place. The first man is a thin man in hooded black ninja outfit with a katana sheathed on his back while the other one is a large bulky and muscular man in black ninja outfit with red bandana on his head and a naginata strapped on his back. They are the ninjas of a ninja clan called the Hand and their names are Kirigi and Kuroyama respectively.
"Let's get out of here. We've got what we came here for."Said Kirigi as he's showing his partner a piece of metal in his right hand.
"What about the Fists?"Asked Kuroyama, referring to the zombie ninjas they've left behind to deal with Stain and Lady Deathstrike.
"Let them have their bloody fun with the Hero Killers."Said Kirigi and with that, he jumped away onto the nearest rooftop with his partner and they begin to do the same again until they're disappeared in the far distance.
Back inside the abandoned building, the two Hero Killers are still slaying the zombie ninjas, the Fists, relentlessly and tirelessly. However, there are too many of them to kill. And when one of them is about to struck Lady Deahtstrike down from behind, a shot suddenly popped its brain in the head out of nowhere. This caught the attention of not just the Hero Killers but also the rest of the Fists as well. However, they cannot find the source of whatever that shot that zombie ninja in the building at all. Suddenly, another shot occurred and a zombie ninja near Stain is killed. Unknown to all of them, Lady Nagant is using her quirk and aiming and shooting at those zombie ninjas from the rooftop of the building that located at least two kilometers away from where they are. And the ones who are standing near her are Izuku Midoriya and his white winged horse, Aragorn.
"Good shooting!"Said Izuku, clearly impressed at how precise she was at shooting her targets earlier.
"This is normal to me, kid."Said Lady Nagant as she's aiming her rifle at another one of those zombie ninjas. Once the target is in her sight, she opens fire and kill another one of them!
"BANG!"
As soon as the shot is heard, another one of the Fists is killed by Lady Nagant. After a brief pause occurred because of what just happened, Stain and Lady Deathstrike seized the moment and begin to kill more of the zombie ninjas as many as possible while they are still distracted by three gunshots from earlier. But just as soon as they resumed the massacre, the zombie ninjas ignored the distractions earlier and turned their attentions back to the two Hero Killers. Knowing that Lady Nagant cannot help much, Izuku pulls his sword and say the magic word.
"Avalon."Said Izuku and then, he is encased in Black Knight's armor and cape. Then, he gets on his winged horse and fly toward to the building where Stain, Lady Deathstrike and a horde of the zombie ninjas are at the moment. Then, he and Aragorn crashed through the window and Izuku jumps down and begin to use the Ebony Blade to fight off the Fists while Aragorn begins to kick the zombie ninjas or stomping down on them. The two Hero Killers witnessed their actions and are quite impressed. However, they are only impressed, not amazed. But they have no time to relax, let alone stop by and think about how the newcomer and his horse are fighting against the zombie ninjas, since they too have to fight for their own lives as well! So they continued to slaughter as many as zombie ninjas as many as they can while Lady Nagant is firing shots to the Fists from the top of a building to help them out. As this is all happening, Sir Percival is watching everything unfolded from the pocket dimension within the Ebony Blade. The pocket dimension within the Ebony Blade is a massive and endless dark matter with floating islands connected to one another by land bridges. As he's watching the new wielder of the Ebony Blade is slaying the zombie ninjas, one of his descendants approached him. He's an Englishman with brown hair in black armor, black boots and red cape. His name is Eobar Garrington, the Black Knight from the time of the Third Crusade.
"You haven't told him about the curse."Said Eobar as he's approaching his ancestor from behind.
"He does not need to know that. Not now."Said Percival
"We've already talked about this before. The last thing we wanted is for him to lose control of himself!"Said Eobar
"If I told him such a secret, he might throw the Ebony Blade away!"Said Percival
"And is that a bad thing because?"Asked Eobar
"Without it, he cannot become Black Knight! And the world without Black Knight is the world that he desires!"Said Percival and upon hearing that, Sir Garrington scoffs.
"Well, he is also stuck in here with all of us! Thanks to you!"Said Eobar as he's crossing his arms.
"I have no choice. He is an entity that cannot be killed."Said Percival
"But why the Ebony Blade? Not the Excalibur?!"Asked Eobar
"You know that already. It's because I was among the last ones standing at the Battle of Camlann after Mordred slain the King."Said Percival
"*Sigh* By the very least, maybe we should check on the cage. Seeing if he has make no progress in getting out."Said Eobar
"If that will make you feel better, then so be it."Said Percival and then, both of them transformed themselves into balls of blue light and fly to somewhere else in this endless pocket dimension.
Back to the outside world, Stain has finally killed the last of the zombie ninjas. Once done, he and Lady Deathstrike turned their attention to Black Knight and his horse. As they're approaching him, Lady Deathstrike deactivates her quirk, thus reverting her claws back into her hands. Then, Lady Nagant comes in through the broken window by using another one of her quirk called Air Walk, which was given to her by All For One, and walk up to the green-haired boy in armor and cape and his steed.
"Well, if it isn't my old classmate back then."Said Stain as he's smirking while looking at her with his partner.
"Stain and Lady Deathstrike, the infamous Hero Killers."Said Lady Nagant
"What are you doing here, old friend? Finally decided to join us in our quest to rid the society from the false heroes?"Asked Lady Deathstrike
"That's not why I'm here. I'm here because I wanted you two to do me a favor."Said Lady Nagant and then she rests her left hand on Black Knight, who is now standing on her left.
"I wanted you two to train him how to use a sword."Said Lady Nagant and wit hthat, both Stain and Lady Deathstrike turned to look at the young knight who is standing near Lady Nagant.
"Wait! You're that vigilante who defeated a group of villains called the Black Spectre!"Said Lady Deathstrike, finally recognized who he really is because she saw the news about him defeating the Black Spectre back then.
"Yes, I am. Is there a probelm with that?"Asked Izuku
"On the contary, we like what you did. You fearlessly stepped out of the crowd to save people from that brute and even went further by taking down the entire group and saved those've been captured later. If you are not a true hero, kid. Then I don't know what to call you."Said Stain
"Sadly, the public and the heroes didn't see it that way."Said Izuku as he's looking down at his feed with a sad smile.
"Ahem! Can we get back to the topic, please?!"Asked Lady Nagant in an impatient tone.
"We've saw his performance earlier. Quite impressive but not amazing."Said Lady Deathstrike
"Plus, we have no time to babysit a kid and his pony. We have-"Said Stain but then, Aragorn interrupts him by making the whinny noise with an angry face.
"I think he preferred to be called a steed."Said Black Knight
"*Sigh* But like I said before, we have no time to babysit a kid and his steed. We're on a mission to stop the Hand."Said Stain
"The Hand?"Asked Black Knight
"It's the name of a ninja clan founded during the Sengoku jidai."Said Lady Deathstrike
"The Hand is considered by today's Japan's criminal underworld as a myth. There is even tale that before the emergence of quirks and All For One's rise to power, the Hand was the one that dominated Japan's criminal underworld. But some villains like us know they are real."Said Lady Nagant
"And how do you know them?"Asked Black Knight
"Stain, Lady Deathstrike and I, we used to deal with the people who are ninjas before."Said Lady Nagant and that alone ended Izuku's suspicious feeling about their relations with the Hand.
"But... aren't you two usually going after pro-heroes? What did these ninjas do you to make you feel upset?"Asked Black Knight
"It's because we happened to know what are they planning to do, kid."Said Stain
"We don't know the full details. But we heard that they're going to revive the Hand's power over Japan's criminal underworld."Said Lady Deathstrike
"And that basically means they're plotting against All For One."Muttered Lady Nagant, making sure they won't heard her.
"But... but why? Why are you two doing this? Why are you two fighting them? Why're you two trying to save all villains from being ruled by them?"Asked Black Knight
"We're doing this not for some thugs and goons on the street, kid. We're doing this for innocent people out there!"Said Lady Deathstrike and that alone makes Izuku remembers back when he was fighting against the Black Spectre. He took them down because he wanted to protect the innocent people out there despite the fact that he is now a villain. This has proven to Izuku that now all villains are not necessarily bad people. The public and the heroes can called them villains but that won't stop them from doing good.
"Now, tell me this, kid. Why did you come in and save us while it has nothing to do with you at all?"Asked Stain and that question alone shocks Izuku.
"Well... it's because I can't just let you guys faced them alone. It doesn't matter that am I a villain or not. I will help anyone who needed help!"Said Black Knight and when the Hero Killers heard that, they're motivated and amazed by the boy's declaration.
"Interesting. Interesting indeed."Thought Stain as he's looking at the young knight before him.
"This kid should be a hero! How in the world did he end up becoming a villain?!"Thought Lady Deathstrike as she's also looking down at him as well.
"Such a shame that someone like you ended up as a villain, boy. You're definitely someone who deserved to become a hero."Thought Lady Nagant as she's looking at him with the corners of her eyes.
"Hmm. Maybe... this won't be a waste of time. Alright, I'll take you in as my pupil, boy."Said Stain
"Ahem! OUR. Pupil!"Said Lady Deahtstrike
"Oh! Thank you! Thank you so much! I won't let you two down!"Said Black Knight as he bows before his new teachers several times.
"Thanks, you two."Said Lady Nagant as she allowed herself to smile a little. And with that, all four of them begin to walk toward to the stairs to leave this empty building.
"But first, we have to find those two ninjas and retrieve something from them."Said Lady Deathstrike as she's walk down with Stain, followed by Lady Nagant and Black Knight behind them.
"Can we help you with it? That way, I can learn while being on a mission with you two."Said Izuku and after he said that, both Hero Killers turned to look at one another for a moment while thinking about what he just requested.
"Fine. But you better not slow us down, kid."Said Stain
"He won't. Right, kid?"Asked Lady Nagant
"Of coruse, I won't!"Said Izuku
"That's good to hear. Now, come along! We know a few of the Hand's hideouts in the city. We'll start there first."Said Stain and with that, he and his partner turned around and leave for the stairs that will lead them all down to the ground floor.
Meanwhile, in the Ebony Blade's pocket dimension, Sir Percival and Sir Eobar Garrington are now standing before a giant cage. The cage is very tall and is quite large. Inside, there is nothing but darkness. But suddenly, a pair of red eyes opened up! After that, a giant black claw is launched toward the bars. But as soon as the claw comes into contact with the bars, it eletrocuted the giant black claw with yellow electricity! This makes the owner of that claw to roar out in pain while closing those two red eyes!
"ROAR!"
Once the roar ended, the red eyes reopened while looking straight at Sir Percival and his descendant with anger and hatred. Then, the groaning and breathing sounds are bellowing out while black smokes are coming down from what concluded to be nose. Then, a black dragon head comes out from the darkness while still looking at the ghosts of the two knights before him. The giant black dragon is none other but the Dragon of the Moon himself!
"Just you wait! I will be freed! And when I do, the world will be mine!"Said Dragon of the Moon
Later in the outside world, Izuku is riding Aragorn with Lady Nagant is levitating in the middle of the air and fly along with his horse. As for Stain and Lady Deathstrike, they are going to the Hand's hideout on foot. After 20 minutes, they've finally made it to the first location that Stain and Lady Deathstrike claimed to be one of the Hand's hideouts in Hosu City, which is just a warehouse.
"Here we are."Said Stain as he and his partner are looking at the warehouse before them. Then, Aragorn and Lady Nagant landed behind them. Once landed, Izuku gets off Aragorn's back and pull the Ebony Blade out.
"Avalon."Said Izuku and then, he is transformed into Black Knight. Upon seeing that, Stain and Lady Deathstrike's eyes immediately widen in surprise.
"Now that is one interesting way to change one's outfit."Said Lady Deathstrike, clearly impressed with how Izuku transformed into Black Knight.
"Ahem! I believe we have other engagement at hands that is our priority at the moment."Said Lady Nagant and with that, they all nodded and walk toward the warehouse. As soon as they entered, they see the two ninjas, Kirigi and Kuroyama, are unpacking a number of wooden boxes and looking into every single one of them like they are searching for something.
"I can't believe you forgot where you hid it!"Said Kirigi as he's searching one of the wooden boxes.
"Oh! Excuse me for not coming here for like in months!"Said Kuroyama when he turned around to look at the fellow ninja.
Back to the near entrance of the warehouse, the four villains are observing the ninjas from afar while hiding themselves in the darkness and behind the wooden boxes, making sure they won't know that they are here. As they are hiding, they are also planning on how to take on their enemies as well.
"The plan is simple. I will distract them while the rest of you search the place to get whatever that they are looking for before them."Whispered Stain
"But we don't even know what are they looking for!"Whispered Izuku
"They're looking for some sort a piece of metal for most of the times. No idea how can that help their organization regain control of Japan's criminal underworld, though."Said Lady Deathstrike
Back at the two ninjas, they still continued searching for a piece of metal that one of them hid here in vain.
"Ah! This will take forever!"Said Kuroyama
"And whose fault is that?!"Asked Kirigi as he turned around to face the large ninja. But before their argument could get any further, Stain suddenly jumps out from his hiding spot, pull out his katana and attempt to slash at them, which he successfully did by slashing at Kurigi's left arm.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!"Screamed Kirigi after Stain slashed him at his left arm. Reacted fast, Kuroyama pulls the naginata out to fight Stain to save his partner from being killed by the male Hero Killer. As the large ninja is engaging Stain in a duel, his thin partner uss his right arm to swipe some blood from his left arm and begin to do the hand signs. Once done, he slams his blood-covered right hand on to the ground.
"SUMMONING JUTSU!"Yelled Kirigi and then, a massive smoky explosion occurred and when the white smoke is died down, it's revealed that Kirigi has summoned a group of zombie ninjas called the Fists to fight Stain.
"You won't survive this time, Stain. Get him!"Said Kirigi as he's pointing to the male Hero Killer for the zombie ninjas, telling them that he is the target. Upon receiving the order, all zombie ninjas immediately rushed out to fight him. Seeing the Fists are coming in, Kuroyama quickly disengages the duel and retreat to stand near his partner. As Stain is fighting against the zombie ninjas, the two ninjas turned around to check the rest of the warehouse to find what they are looking for. Unbeknownst to them, Lady Deathstrike, Lady Nagant and Black Knight are also looking for whatever that they are looking for as well.
"Nothing here!"Whispered Black Knight after he opened another one of the empty wooden boxes.
"Same here."Whispered Lady Nagant after she checked hers.
"I found nothing as well."Said Lady Deathstrike after she checked her box.
Back at the fight between Stain and the Fists, the Fists are rapidly losing their nunber as Stain is slashing his katana at them relentlessly. He stabs into one of the Fists before him before pul out and slash at the two incoming zombie ninjas at their chests, killing both of them. One of the zombie ninjas jumps into the air to stab him from behind with a katana. But Stain turned around in time and slash that zombie ninja in half, making it fall into two pieces. However, that is not the end of that zombie ninja since it can still move and try to take on Stain despite having no legs. But Stain simply stabs it in the head, killing it for real this time. Five more zombie ninjas are running toward him as he turned around to face them. With his skills in swordsmanship, Stain slashes at the head of the first incoming zombie ninja, thus beheading it. He then proceeds to stab the second one with his sword in the head before immediately pulling out and cut the third and the forth zombie ninjas in a one single slash, thus killing them both in a single blow. As for the fifth one, he swings his katana at its stomach and cut it in half and kick the upper body to a pile of the wooden boxes before him. Then, the boxes fall down and a metal gauntlet with fingers as claws falls out from one of the fallen boxes with the loud clanking sound. Upon hearing it, the two living ninjas stopped their search and quickly turned around to see the metal gauntlet on the ground.
"There it is!"Said Kuroyama and with that, Kirigi summons more of the Fists to come to fight Stain while his partner, Kuroyama, is retrieving the metal claw.
"I got it!"Said Kuroyama as soon as he grabs it. But then, a shot suddenly hits the metal claw and force him to let go it. Then, he turned around to his right to see that Lady Nagant is aiming her left arm turned rifle at him while Lady Deathstrike and Black Knight are standing by her sides. It turned out that the clanking sound also got their attention as well.
"Next time you move, you will have a hole in your head!"Said Lady Nagant as she's aiming her rifle at him. Without other option, Kirigi swipes some blood from his wound on his left arm and use to perform another summoning jutsu!
"SUMMONING JUTSU!"Yelled Kirigi and then, another group of zombie ninjas appeared after the smoke is died down.
"KILL THEM!"Yelled Kirigi as he's pointing to Lady Nagant, Black Knight and Lady Deathstrike.
"ARAGORN! TO ME!"Yelled Black Knight and then, his white winged horse crashed down from one of the windows from the rooftop and fly through a group of the zombie ninjas and their summoner and his partner, making them all falling on their backs. Once done, he landed near his rider. Seeing an opportunity, Lady Deathstrike quickly activates her quirk, extending her fingers into claws, and run to slash at the fallen zombie ninjas as many as possible while Black Knight runs out to grab the metal gauntlet on the ground, which he can easily take since all fallen zombie ninjas are being slaughtered by Lady Deathstrike while Lady Nagant is aiming her rifle at Kuroyama and Kirigi is injured at the moment.
"I GOT IT! WE CAN LEAVE NOW!"Yelled Black Knight as he's running toward to Aragorn and get on his back. Upon hearing that, Stain and the two female villains quickly leave the warehouse, leaving the two ninjas alone.
Later, at the Hero Killers' hideout...
"Here."Said Izuku as he's giving the metal gauntlet to Stain.
"Thanks, kid. Without it, those two cannot achieve their plan."Said Stain as he's looking at the metal gauntlet with fingers as claws in his right hand.
"So... about training me..."Said Izuku
"We can begin tomorrow."Said Stain
"So for now, just rest. You've been through too much already in one day."Said Lady Deathstrike and with that, Izuku nodded and go to take some rest while Lady Nagant is being left behind with them.
"So... do you mind telling me why someone who deserved to be a hero like that kid ended up becoming a villain?"Asked Stain as he and his partner are looking at Lady Nagant with curiosities in their minds.
"It's... a long story."Said Lady Nagant
Author's note: I've rewritten this chapter to make it better and longer. So with more actions and confrontation with the Hand, I hope you guys will like it. As for what Sir Percival and his descendant, Sir Eobar Garrington, were talking about. It's about the Ebony Blade's curse. And what curse am I talking about? Well, it's a curse casted by the Dragon of the Moon to slowly corrupt Black Knight who wielded the Ebony Blade at the time to become a bloodthirsty warrior, who cannot distinguish who are friends or foes anymore. And during that blind rage, the Dragon of the Moon will takeover the body of the wielder of the Ebony Blade. That's how he will set himself free from being imprisoned within the sword. As for the Hand, it started out with the need for a group of enemies for Stain and Lady Deathstrike to fight before I got another idea to expand their role in the story because I realized I needed a faction that can actually challenge All For One and defeat him. The Order of the Hood may be responsible for All Might's retirement but they have nothing to do with All For One will be imprisoned in Tartarus. According to how I'm planning this right now, of course. However, I'm still wanted All For One to be defeated by Izuku who is being controlled by the Dragon of the Moon because that would be a one spectacular confrontation for sure! Well, I hope. But then again, the Hand is planning on something and maybe, the Dragon of the Moon can take advantage of that. So just give me sometime and I may figure things out eventually. By the way, in case you don't know what the Fists are. I based that from an undead ninja resurrected by the Hand called the Fist. Also, yes. The Dragon of the Moon is one of the main antagonists of the story. But no, he is not the one who will seize control of the Hero Society. His role as the main antagonist is more of this evil demonic reflection that Izuku must overcome as Black Knight for the sake of everyone in the League of Villains and the women in his harem. One more thing, I'm thinking that Lady Deathstrike should be more than just Stain's partner. I'm thinking of turning her into his wife. I know that sound shocking that someone like Stain will have a wife. But if Stain's legacy is all going to just about him killing all false heroes he encountered, then he should have another form of legacy and that required him to have a wife first. Yes, everyone. Stain and Lady Deathstrike will eventually have a child together. This is one of things I've planned from the start but always felt uncertain because I feared that it might ruined Stain as a cahracter. So please tell me that should Stain and Lady Deathstrike become husband and wife and have a child together or not. But personally, I kind of like that idea but always feel quite uncertain about it.
Questions, reviews, suggests, comments, requests and PMs to me would be appreciate.
