A few minutes earlier, chaos was still going on in Hosu as Izuku suplexed the Four-Eyed Nomu that attacked the train, followed by Twilight doing her best to keep it restrained with magical chains.

"Feels like I've learned how to safely channel 32% of OFA's power now. That's a big leap." Izuku thought.

Tony bulked up his arm, covered it in spikes, and encased it in a hard crust to slam down on the trapped Nomu, making sure it was completely paralyzed.

"Was really hoping that freak we saw at the USJ was the only one of these!"

"This one seems relatively weaker than that Nomu, though," Twilight noted. "More than likely it's meant to be a shock trooper."

A Nomu with gargoyle-like wings, pale green skin, and a gas mask was flying around, terrorizing the citizens before it was kicked by a flaming blue.

"Hey! It's Spitfire!"

Sure enough, Spitfire and her team, the Wonderbolts were there, followed by Shoto. Also present was Endeavor, having taken Tempest with him as an intern in place of Shoto since he felt she had the most potential out of those that weren't his son.

"What are you guys doing here?" Ghidorah asked, peppering the Faceless Nomu with body blows. "Looking for Stain as well?"

"Mostly for backup in case he tried to get away!" Endeavor said as he ran along one of the buildings, his flaming boots helping stick him to the side as he threw a javelin of flames at the Winged Nomu. "Wasn't expecting these monsters to show up!"

Spitfire grinned as she used [Flame Racer], which not only granted her Pyrokinesis but also superspeed to the point she could 'fly' in the air, formed a fireball, and flicked it at the Four-Eyed Nomu when it managed to recover, blinding it and allowing Shining Armor to slam it with a giant tower shield.

"Go down, dammit!"

Shoto noticed Ghidorah was resorting to stabbing the Faceless Nomu with bone blades all over its body but it still kept coming at him.

"Ghidorah, that one more than likely can't feel pain!" Shoto called out as he conjured up an ice wall to block the Nomu's path then hit it with a quick flame shot.

"Iida, Hairoiiwa, and Swift Sculpt also wound up in Hosu," Izuku noted as he used [Blackwhip] to restrain the stunned Nomu. "You think they're fighting these things as well? Where do they even come from?"

"I'm no shaman, but I have a very eerie feeling..." Twilight said grimly.

Up above, Tomura was observing the chaos alongside Kurogiri, Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, Sombra, and Tirek.

"I wasn't expecting such powerful heroes to be in Hosu right now. These Nomus weren't designed to be as strong as the one at the USJ. They couldn't hold a candle to All-Might. So any hero even remotely in his league would wipe the floor with them."

"Sensei and the Doctor were able to complete six Nomus so far. The High-Ends and Near High-Ends are still in testing." Kurogiri noted. "These three were the only ones the Doctor was willing to let go."

"It's all we need for this task," Chrysalis smirked. "Sending a message is more than what is needed to make sure our League is remembered."

Tomura chuckled. "Yeah. The Hero Killer may have infamy on his side, but at the end of the day, he's just a childish serial killer playing at social reform."

Back in the present, Izuku ran past Stain after decking him to check up on Tenya while Twilight, Tony, and Ghidorah leaped over to join Swift Sculpt and Terumi.

"We were battling Nomu like the one at the USJ out on the street when Izuku got a premonition about something going on in this alley," Tony explained.

"We got permission from Shining Armor, Gran Torino, and Starswirl to come over here and help out whoever was in trouble. Glad we came, huh?" Ghidorah smirked.

"Wasn't expecting Stain to also be helping the League of Villains in this attack, though," Twilight noted as she cast a healing spell on Tenya's wound.

Stain scoffed as he stood back up. "It's true they tried recruiting me, but I rejected their offer. Our goals are far too different. But your power... And the way you carry yourself... It reminds me so much of All-Might."

"Well, that's because I'm his chosen successor!" Izuku said with determination. "I am The Guardian Hero: Spike, and I won't let you hurt my friends!"

"Iida, are you okay?" Ghidorah asked as Tenya grunted, still struggling to move.

"He only damaged my shoulder, but for some reason, I can't move. Native's paralyzed in the same manner. It's probably his Quirk since it started shortly after he cut me."

"And he licked the blood off his sword too," Terumi added.

"One of us needs to go and get Native to safety while the rest of us handle this creep," Tony said.

"I'll get him out of here," Terumi said. "Out of all of us, I'm probably the fastest."

"Good idea, right now I'm locked onto Stain with my Quirk." Swift Sculp said. "I remember seeing how fast you kids were at the Sports Festival, so with a bunch of targets to keep their eyes on him, it shouldn't be hard to corral Stain."

"But he could still try to run." Twilight pointed out. "I've read about him and seen his stats on TV. He's fast and maneuverable in his own right."

As this was all going on, Izuku silently activated his smartphone to transmit his location to all nearby Pros in Hosu as Terumi helped hoist Native over his shoulder.

"Just to make sure, you kids all have my express permission to engage. We need to keep Stain busy until backup can arrive." Swift Sculp said.

"We should be careful. Just by looking at him, I can tell he's armed to the teeth!" Ghidorah said as he unsheathed a pair of bone blades from his arms.

It was at that moment that Stain made his move to attack, slicing at Izuku, Tony, and Ghidorah since they were closest. However, the three boys were fast and dodged out of the way while Twilight fired a magic blast at the Hero Killer, who jumped clear.

"BONE HYDRA!" Ghidorah shouted, stomping his foot as a hydra skull erupted from the ground and rushed at Stain, who simply jumped off it and then slashed the Beast Prince in the shoulder.

"Ghidorah!" Izuku cried, only to be nicked in the side by Stain's sword, followed by Tony getting a gash across the face.

"That should do it," Stain said as he licked the blood from his sword, activating his Quirk. Izuku gasped as he fell to the floor, struggling to move but Tony and Ghidorah didn't seem all that bothered.

"Izuku!" Twilight cried as she finished healing Tenya and made her way to her best friend.

"So that's how his Quirk works..." Tony said as he began moving again quickly. "Unfortunately, my Quirk is stronger!"

"And my [Blood Manipulation] Quirk pretty much makes me immune to any blood afflictions!" Ghidorah smirked as he flexed his arms to show that Stain's Quirk had done nothing to him either.

"And Tony's Quirk allowed him to adapt to the paralysis quickly!" Tenya realized.

"I just noticed he tasted our blood. Guess that must be the catalyst for his Quirk activating." Tony said.

Stain narrowed his eyes. "So you figured it out. My Quirk is called [Bloodcurdle], when I ingest someone's blood, they instantly become paralyzed. The effect can last up to eight minutes."

"Good to know."

Two streams of flames suddenly rushed at Stain, who quickly got out of the way to avoid being fried.

"More distractions...?!"

Shoto and Tempest had arrived, both of them narrowing their eyes at the Hero Killer.

"We got the call and Spitfire and Endeavor gave us permission to head over here and investigate, engage if any hostiles were in the area if necessary," Tempest said.

"Midoriya, you should really give more details. We were worried we wouldn't make it in time." Shoto said.

"Are you kidding? He had us backing him up!" Tony grinned.

Shoto rolled his eyes before generating an ice sheet from his right leg, forcing Stain to leap into the air to avoid it. The Hero Killer then had to twist around to dodge some electric bolts Tempest shot at him.

"I'm clearly not gonna get the chance to continue my work this night," Stain realized internally. "Soon enough Reciprium will be able to move again. And this new kid... He's the son of Endeavor, but this is one apple that wound up falling very far from the tree. Another true hero in the making. I'd heard good things about the new generation from the news coverage of the UA Sports Festival. I can see it wasn't just all hype."

"Todoroki, Tempest, you need to be careful!" Twilight called out. "The Hero Killer's Quirk works by ingesting blood!"

"If that's true, then we should be fine as long as we keep our distance," Shoto noted, only to be quickly proven wrong when Stain tossed a throwing knife, clipping his cheek.

Before anyone could even blink, Stain was already moving in for a larger cut only to be stopped when Tempest unleashed shadowy claws to strike at him.

"Up above!" Tenya warned.

Shoto and Tempest noticed Stain had thrown his other sword, the distraction letting him get close. He aimed to lick Shoto's wounded cheek, only to be forced back when he lit his entire left side on fire. As he backed up, Stain noticed a perfect line of sight between Native and Terumi.

"If I can just get in one good shot..."

Tenya suddenly began feeling movement return to his body, slowly rising back to his feet as Twilight noticed this.

"Iida, you're moving again!"

"Wait, but he was paralyzed after Native!" Swift Sculpt noted.

Izuku realized something as he also regained movement. "He said he could paralyze someone for up to eight minutes. But maybe it's not a variable he can control. It must have something to do with blood type. Iida, what's your blood type? Mine's Type O!"

"Type A!"

Twilight raised her hand. "I'm Type O!"

"It doesn't really matter with me and Ghidorah. Our Quirks make us immune." Tony said, Ghidorah nodding in agreement.

"Mine's...Type B..." Native weakly said from over Terumi's shoulder.

Stain smirked. "So, you managed to figure it out. The amount of time [Bloodcurdle] can freeze someone depends on their blood type. Type O takes the least amount of time to recover, then Type B, AB, and finally Type B takes the longest."

"Guess you're not the only one with skills in figuring out Quirks, Midoriya," Tony noted as he helped Izuku return back to his feet.

Twilight and Swift Sculpt helped Tenya stand fully straight again, Twilight casting another healing spell just to make sure.

"You doing okay?"

Tenya sighed. "A little numb in places...It's funny, when I first learned that Stain had attacked and hospitalized my brother, I felt a sense of anger. But after learning Stain's motives first-hand... That anger just... Deflated. For how dangerous the Hero Killer is, he's nothing more than a child that never grew up."

"It's fine to be angry. You were wronged and more often than not, anger is the appropriate response." Twilight gently said.

"The important thing is how you channeled that anger. Rather than let it consume you, you internalized it. You focused on what was truly important. But now I'd say it's alright to let loose a little of that aggression." Swift Sculpt added.

Tenya nodded. "My brother once said he thought the coolest people in the world were those who did things for others. It's the reason he chose to become a hero, beyond the expectations of our family. He always felt that my looking up to him made him better. Tensei... Thank you."

Back with the others, Stain dashed toward Shoto and Tempest.

"Hasn't anyone told you that you rely on your Quirks too much? Makes you careless fighters."

"Not when they have help!"

Stain was shocked to receive another punch to the face, this time from none other than Tenya, whose engines were roaring back to full strength.

"I must have been a good five meters away from him, yet he closed the distance in just under a second. Even his brother wasn't that fast!"

He dashed forward to strike, only for Tenya to catch the blade under his knee. With a quick twist, he snapped Stain's sword in two, forcing the Hero Killer to jump back and inspect his destroyed weapon.

"Not bad, kid. I honestly wish more heroes were like you. Then society wouldn't be so screwed up. You aimed specifically to disarm me when you could have easily broken my actual arm."

"Funny, I want to be a hero who helps people but I also really wanna break every bone in your body," Tony said. "Mostly because you're such a whiny creep who doesn't see the full glass."

Ghidorah sniffed the air. "And I can smell the air around you too...you're afraid."

"My Quirk is unreliable in a straight fight, but you all probably guessed that already." Stain admitted. "The fact that it doesn't last forever and is variable depending on blood type is an obvious weakness. I've trained myself to not rely on it in a fight, but even then I'm only used to fighting one-on-one."

"Guess nobody thought to gang up on you until now!" Tony smirked, turning his fingers into sword-like claws.

"If he realizes his own weaknesses, then why isn't he retreating?" Twilight wondered.

"Because he's a sick fanatic," Tempest said, her eyes narrowing. "He's still trying to kill Native and finish his work here, in spite of the overwhelming odds. That's how mired he is in his beliefs."

"If only he could channel that impressive tenacity in a positive direction..." Tenya sighed before grunting as smoke billowed off his engines. "Damn, my radiator has overheated. Todoroki, Tempest, can you two control the temperature of your ice?"

"Yeah, I've had practice with all the powers imbued into me," Tempest said.

"And only with my right side for me," Shoto added. "I'm still learning how to control my left."

"That's all I need!" Tenya assured. "Freeze my engines without plugging the exhaust. That should cool me down enough to keep fighting."

"Don't go broadcasting your strategies, brats!" Stain called out, throwing out a few knives.

Twilight quickly erected a magical barrier wall to absorb the knives, making them disintegrate into atomic particles. Tony even caught one of the knives in his mouth and crushed it between his crocodile-like teeth.

"We'll cover you guys!" Ghidorah shouted as he turned his arm into a dog head made of pure magma. "RED HOUND!"

Stain dodged the attack, feeling the heat licking off his boots in the process. Izuku then quickly unleashed a burst of smoke to conceal his allies' movements.

Stain's eyes widened at this. "No! I need to at least keep an eye on Swift Sculpt!"

As Stain was distracted, Shoto and Tempest were able to cool down Tenya's radiator.

"That should do it! Midoriya, Twilight, Tony, Ghidorah! I'll direct him toward you! Once that's done, you can capture him!"

"Knock him out for us, Reciprium!" Ghidorah grinned.

Tenya got into a running position and with a mighty cry, pushed his engines to their full strength, moving like a silver and blue blur of pure speed.

"RECIPRO BURST!"

Before Stain could realize what was happening, he found Tenya right in front of him. His own instincts kicked in, causing him to backpedal in order to get some distance. Lacking his main swords, he only had his throwing knives to rely on. Sure, he also had spikes on his boots, but he didn't trust that those could pierce Tenya's armor the same way his sword could.

However, before he could even make a move, he was restrained by tendrils of black energy, followed by chains of magical purple energy. He had just enough time to realize it was Izuku and Twilight before he was slammed into the ground by Tenya delivering a spinning kick to his midsection. Before he could recover, Ghidorah slammed his fists into the ground and created chains of mud and stone to wrap around him, completely encasing him.

"It's over..." Swift Sculpt sighed in relief.

With Stain detained, Native was finally starting to move again as Twilight tended to his wounds. As for Stain, Tony, Ghidorah, and Izuku were making sure he was chained up properly.

"He seemed so dangerous up close. Yet a group of kids, barely sixteen years old, were able to take him on and win. The new generation has so much potential." Native noted.

"Well, that's what happens when you work together," Tony smirked, giving Ghidorah and Izuku high-fives. "Call it cheesy, but nothing can stop the power of teamwork!"

"Things out in the streets are starting to die down. Guess the other Heroes were able to take care of the Nomus." Twilight noted as she looked out.

"Geez, you weren't kidding when you said he was armed to the teeth!" Tempest realized as she helped Tony and Izuku lay out all of Stain's weapons.

"Thank goodness we don't have to do a cavity search. I don't think I can handle that right now." Izuku sighed.

"Well, I think he's pretty much resigned to his fate now," Tony noted.

"I called him out earlier before you guys came along," Tenya said. "He couldn't accept that his beliefs were wrong, that the world isn't as black and white as he perceives it to be...but all of us together completely shattered his philosophy."

"The families and friends of his victims can rest easy now," Twilight said. "He won't be hurting anybody anymore."

"In the end, he was just a deranged All-Might fanboy, putting him on a high pedestal when he's just as human as everyone else," Ghidorah said, folding his arms. "Even if there are people that Stain hates out there, I'm pretty sure they can't hide behind their identities when faced with the law."

"And besides, even those people take their jobs seriously. Why else did they take it?" Tempest added. "You can't become popular or rich if people think you're incompetent, after all."

"And he never once considered why people would want fame or money," Twilight said. "Rarity is a generous soul who wishes to use her fame to help spread out and support others in need while Uraraka wants money to support her family."

"Twily!" Shining Armor's voice was heard as he, Gran Torino, Starswirl, Spitfire, Endeavor, and the other pros in the area rushed in. Twilight smiled as she jumped into her big brother's arms in a hug.

"BBBFF!"

"We've got two of the Nomu down," Spitfire said with a smirk. "Endeavor fried the big one's brains into charcoal and I managed to pin down the lanky one. It won't be going anywhere anytime soon."

"Wait, wasn't there one with wings?" Soarin, one of the Wonderbolts, asked nervously.

As if in answer, said Nomu started swooping in. Izuku had already sensed the Nomu as it came it.

"Get back!"

Ghidorah transformed into a frickin' dragon, letting out a powerful blast of plasma from his mouth that hit the Nomu dead-on, melting its wings and causing it to screech as it nose-dived into the ground. This gave Izuku the opening to slam into its exposed brain with a spinning heel drop.

"Well, that worked out better than expected," Starswirl said, stroking his beard.

"Shiny!"

Shining Armor smiled as Cadence flew in, having managed to help out the civilians in danger on the train and reunite with everyone.

"Cadence!"

The married pros pressed their foreheads against each other, happy to see each other safe.

"Hmph, those two..." Chrysalis scoffed as she looked at Shining and Cadence's affection.

"Still sore over that time they beat you when you tried to crash their wedding?" Tirek smirked as Chrysalis looked away.

"Still, the Hero Killer has been beaten, broken, and captured," Tomura noted. "Today wasn't so bad after all."

"But two of the Nomu have been captured and the other is dead." Kurogiri pointed out. "What do you propose we do now?"

"We only wanted them to rampage to let people know we weren't a one-time deal," Sombra said dismissively. "And I think we accomplished that quite nicely.

"Speaking of which, a few old friends of ours are coming over. Seems they're interested in becoming part of the fold," Tirek said. "My brother is also having his broker, Giran, bring in a few capable hands as well."

Tomura chuckled. "I'm looking forward to our new party members..."

And so Stain has been smacked with the hand of reality! But the League of Villains have accomplished what they set out to do and they are making their next plans justly.
