This chapter will contain blood, gore, loss of body parts, and maybe death.
It was a peaceful day for Izuku he woke up and went through his routine. He worked out with more force than usual. He felt stressed. He couldn't explain why but he felt like something bad was going to of the day went by without incident. He visited his mom. He visited Hatsume who was working on compressed weights for heroes with enhanced strength to work out. He decided he would go on patrol despite his sense of impending doom. Him sitting around wasn't going to help with this feeling, if anything it'll just make him feel like a sitting duck. It was dark out by the time he went on patrol. The patrol was calming. Moving around by jumping from building to building was hypnotizing in a way. Midoriya was knocked out of his musings when his enhanced hearing picked up on a far away screaming that turned into a series of screams. With that he was off leaping from building to building as fast as he could. He began to see smoke rise from the direction of the screams. He was finally on the scene of chaos. That was the only word to describe what was in front of him. Fire was everywhere walls were crumbling and people were trapped in a burning building. Heroes were evacuating and some of the cowardly heroes simply ran away screaming they would bring more help. Midoriya knew they had no intention of coming back and did there job for them. He got people from under rubble and carried them to heroes who didn't bother to ask him any questions. When enough people were evacuated he decided to go to where he heard fighting and see if he could help apprehend the villain. When he got there he saw the water hose duo. One was under a large chunk of concrete and the other was about to get hit crushed by the villains powerful hands. The villain was 6'5 blonde and covered in muscle fibers from his ankles to his neck. Midoriya jumps in front of Mr. Izumi and blocked musculars fist. He quickly punches muscular in the chin while he is still shocked about the new arrival. The punch sends muscular stumbling and Midoriya jumps into the air and kicks Muscular in the chest with both feet and lands roughly on his side, while muscular gets launched backwards.
"Are you okay? Can you walk or fight?"asks Midoriya.
"Yeah, let me get my wife out from the rubble over there and we can help you fight." says Mr. Izumi.
"Hey, you're that new vigilante right? What do you call yourself?" asks Muscular.
"Ketsuiki. Who are you?" asks Ketsuiki.
"Names Muscular. Listen I'm gonna kill these heroes it would be nice to kill you but I want to wait for you to get stronger before you and I really go at it." says Muscular.
"I'm strong enough right now." says Ketsuiki.
"If you're sure then I'll beat ya into a bloody paste." says Muscular.
"I doubt it but you're welcome to try." says Izuku as he bounces his shoulders tauntingly.
Muscular swings at Ketsuiki who dodges under it and punches Muscular in the side. Muscular doesn't budge and punches Ketsuiku in the stomach and carries him several feet off the ground. Muscular follows up by punching Ketsuiki in the chest and sending him skidding across the street. Muscular leaps to Ketsuiki and is about to bring his fist down on him when two torrents of water hit him in the back and sends him onto the ground. Ketsuiki takes this chance to get on his feet and regroup with the water hose duo.
"You two keep him off of me when you can hit him and I'll fight up close and try to give the two of you opportunities to hit him." says Ketsuiki.
"We'll follow your lead." says Mr. Izumi.
"We're right behind you." says Mrs. Izumu.
At this point Muscular had already gotten to his feet and was ready to keep fighting.
"Three on one? That sounds like a little fun." says Muscular.
Muscular charges Mr. Izumi but is stopped when Ketsuiki jumps between them and swings at Muscular. Muscular steps back to dodge and jabs at Ketsuiki who steps under it and jabs Muscular in the ribs. The two continue to swing at each other. Ketsuki Uses the knowledge that was transferred to him and Musculars aggressive fighting style to dodge and counter every hit sent his way. Despite Ketsuiki fighting as hard as he can and stepping back to let the water hose duo blast Muscular with powerful torrents of water that send him stumbling back nothing seems to actually affect Muscular. The wide grin on Muscular's face only makes the trio certain that nothing that they do is getting behind his muscle fibers.
"We have an idea that might hurt him we just need you to hold him off for a little while." shouts Mr. Izumi.
"I've got it but try to be quick." says Ketsuiki.
"I'm gonna be honest with you… you don't got it." says Muscular.
Ketsuiki and Muscular begin fighting again but this time Ketsuiki began getting grazed by hits. Despite only grazing him they hit with so much force that each hit shakes him to the bone.
"See without their help you cant hold off against someone like me for long." says Muscular.
Once again the two begin swinging at each other but Ketsuki is covered with bruises and is starting to slow down. With one of Musculars punches Ketsuiki slowed down to much and gets hit in the stomach and gets flung across the street only stopping because he hit a building. Muscular grabs Ketsuiki and throws him into the middle of the street. Muscular then jumps high into the air and tries to land on Ketsuiki and crush him. Ketsuiki barely has enough time to lift his arms to make an attempt at catching muscular, an attempt that doesn't stop the entire attack. The force of the attack tears through the street below them and tears Ketsuiki's suit and shirt along with ketsuiki's back embedding chunks of concrete in his flesh causing him to groan in pain.
"Ketsuiki get down." shouts the water hose duo.
Muscular looks at them as if he forgot they were there and Ketsuiki jumps away while he's distracted. The duo shoots out two beams at the same time. The beams look much denser than any they have used before and when the beams meet they form one stream coming straight for Muscular. He gets sent flying into and through a building across the street. The trio stared at the whole that Muscular just went through for a couple of seconds before sighing.
Ketsuiki chuckles solemnly.
"We won." says Mr. Izumu.
"He won't be hurting anybody anytime soon." says Mrs. Izumu.
"I hate to be contradicting." comes an all too familiar voice from inside the building, " but you're dead wrong."
Muscular walks out of the building and the trio sees that their attack actually damaged him because his fibers were gone and his chest along with his head was bleeding.
"No." Ketsuiki says so quietly it was almost a whisper.
The fibers on Muscular's body come back bigger and denser than before and he charges Ketsuiki who barely has time to put his arm in front of his head to block the punch. A loud crack comes from Ketsuiki's arm as his radius and ulna snap from the force put on them and he gets sent flying away. He tries to get up but winces as he puts weight on his broken arm. He watches the water hose duo get pummeled under Musculars fist. He watches as their blood spills out onto the road beneath them. It's only now that he realizes how hungry he is. Hungry isn't the right word he's starving he needs to drink but he looks the water hose duo in the eyes and knows he can't take theirs. He sees muscular turn and look at him.
"You know you're not put up a pretty good fight. You're real slippery and hard to hit. I had fun it's a shame you're done." says Muscular.
"I'm not done yet." says Ketsuikias his eyes begin to glow as if there's a flame in his eyes.
"Oh, you've still got some fight left in you? You really are great." says Muscular
Suddenly Ketsuiki jets forward far faster than he had been moving before and brings his fangs down on the side of Muscular's face. He feels his fangs pierce Musculars eyes and he feels himself tear through Musculars ear. When Muscular finally manages to throw Ketsuiki off of him he's missing an eye and an ear. While Ketsuiki's wounds normally heal when he drinks blood something else happened. His muscles expanded and his skin rippled throwing off the rest of his already torn shirt and suit. He charges forwards along with Muscular whom is currently howling with anger and pain. Muscular expects to overpower Ketsuiki but Ketsuiki catches Musculars fist and punches him in the ribs and this time Muscular feels it. The two begin trading blows and Muscular starts losing ground and actually losing the fight. It seems Ketsuiki has won the fight when his muscles begin to go back to their normal size and he gets beaten thoroughly. Muscular throws Ketsuiki to the ground. Ketsuiki feels beaten. Like he can hardly move but with the strength he has left he throws his knife at Muscular. What surprises Ketsuiki is that the knife pierces his shoulder. Ketsuiki now realizes how to beat Muscular.
'I can't overpower him I just need something sharp.' thinks Ketsuiki.
Ketsuiki pulls his pistol off of his belt and fires off six shots into Muscular's stomach before Muscular slaps his gun away.
"Alright. You're out of tricks and on your deathbed. I don't hold it against you. Taking my eye and ear I mean. I wanted to kill and you wanted to protect. You gave it a good run but I'm gonna have to kill you now." says Muscular.
Before Muscular can prove his claims to be true he receives a hard kick to the ribs. Ketsuiki looks to see who did it and sees the rabbit hero Miruko standing proudly. Muscular throws a large piece of concrete at Ketsuiki that Miruku kicks into pieces. While Miruko is distracted Muscular jumps away. Miruko gets ready to jump after him.
"Wait." says Ketsuiki.
"I'm not helping some vigilante." says Miruko.
"You don't have to help me but get them to a hospital." says Ketsuiki as he points to the water hose duo.
"Alright." says Miruko as she picks up the water hose duo and jogs off to get help.
Ketsuiki gets up and limps over to his pistol and puts it back in it's belt. It may be the conclusion or the loss of blood but he can't seem to remember how to get home. He decides to wander until he finds it. He leaves a trail of blood behind as he tiredly stumbles through the streets of downtown Mustafa looking for home or a familiar face. He stumbles around for what seems like hours. He limps until he can limp no more. He collapses onto the middle of the sidewalk and rolls over to see the stars above.
'This isn't too bad of a view to die do. Is it ruby?' thinks Ketsuiki.
Ketsuiki was certain he was going to die as soon as he fell uncouncious. Before he lost conciousness he heard two voices one was light, bubbly, and energetic the other was deep, emotionless, and tired.
"Giran said we should look for him around here." says the light voice.
"Yeah, Giran said that but I doubt we'll find him." says the deeper voice.
"Well, if we just keep looking, I'm sure we'll find him." says the light voice.
"Hey… the guy had green hair right?" asks the deep voice.
"Yeah, why?" asks the lighter voice.
"And he would be wearing blue pants with a black tie and mask right?" asks the deeper voice.
"Yeah why?" asks the lighter voice again.
"I think that's him." says the deeper voice.
"Oh good job dabi." calls out the lighter voice.
"Yeah whatever toga. Let's just take him home and patch him up." says Dabi.
Authors Note
Midoriya gaining more muscle mass and strength was not him using musculars quirk because he drank his blood it's just him turning blood into power. I'm really excited to add dabi and Toga to the characters in the story. So I'm probably going to have to keep Izuku away from fighting for a while. I'm very excited for the next chapter. Ruby will be making and appearance and both Midoriya's will talk soon but I won't have Izuku reveal that he is a vigilante just yet. I'm going to wait for a while. I'm thinking either during overhaul or the Nomu arc. I definitely want Izuku to talk to some of U.A's pro heroes after this. They are worried out of their minds. So is Ruby.I also have an original arc planned with lots of twists and turns. I also plan on introducing original character for this arc. As for whether the water hose duo survived their injuries or not you will all have to wait around a week. Also with this chapter this story is finally longer than the original story.
PsychoNightmare: Keep hoping they aren't gone yet and they might not have to go at all.
Big-loaf-of-bread: I think Midoriya with regeneration powers on that level would be really cool but also to overpowered for my story. I'm trying not to make Midoriya overpowered because that's why I felt I had to restart my first version. Although I do think that this version of my story is just a lot better.
AtomicDragon59: I think making Izuku drink the blood of the water hose duo would have been interesting for the story but I wanted to give Izuku a break even if it wasn't a very big one in comparison to what I've been making him go through. I've heard that the way to right a good character is to push their limits but I'm not gonna go that far. I like the idea of Muscular losing more than in canon and I'm glad you presented it. The second I read the comment about Izuku meeting toga I got very excited that you guessed what I had planned. Good Job on that. And for Izuku's interaction with Aizawa and his roommates I'm sorry to say that it's only going to be over the phone. Izuku telling his mom about his vigilantism will happen but it will happen later in the story. It is true that almost dying brings people together. He will have enough near death experiences to get close.
Tiguylerobot: I'm definitely gonna put Eri sooner than in canon but I do plan on having several story arcs between now and the time eri comes into the story. She does need Izuku and he will be there for her.
Amadeus Amadeus: I definitely didn't see Izuku beating muscular in this fight. I think that having izuku's back torn up and having concrete embedded in him was a pretty big injury. It's definitely not as big as a hole in the chest or losing an arm but it is pretty painful and the broken ribs definitely are not doing him any favors. I think with is broken ribs and mutilated back it's sort of like he went through a meat grinder. I think that making Izuku drink an innocent victim's blood would have been traumatic. I like emotional trauma as much as the next guy but if a story is too traumatic I think it feels forced. I think that this chapter will definitely make Izuku more careful around villains now that the thought of losing like he did in this chapter is in the back of his mind. When Midoriya wakes up he will have to come to terms with the fact he mutilated someone. And that is gonna be hard to come to terms with. Also he isn't going to know that the water hose duo had kota until next chapter or maybe later. But when he learns he's going to feel like a failure for letting them get hurt all over again. He and ruby are definitely going to have to have a heart to heart talk about what happened in this chapter. I think having Ruby and maybe even Giran help train him is a good idea. I know that the summer camp arc is far away but I'm excited for it anyway. Izuku's definitely going to tell Kota that he is the vigilante during the Summer camp arc. He might kill or mutilate muscular in the future but for now I think just normal injuries are in the plan for the future.
"He's walking up the side of the zero pointer" says Nezu.
"What do you mean 'He's walking up the side of the zero pointer'?" shouts Aizawa
"I mean he's walking up the side of the zero pointer." shouts Nezu.
Present Mic and Midnight are watching this in the background betting on how far Midoriya makes it up the zero pointer but he breaks both of their expectations by casually strolling to the top of a several story tall fighting robot and punching it repeatedly in the head.
