For the yakuza members, this was no different than any other night patrol looking for any heroes, villains or vigilantes that may try, and fail, to mess with them.

A man with short black hair and patchy beard yawned as he and his other two companions walked through the streets "Can't believe that we have to do this shit every night" he grumbled as he pulled out a pack of cigarettes and placed one of them on his lips before using a snap of his fingers to lit it.

At his side, a woman with a bob of gray hair, rolled her eyes before making a small wave of her hand to push away the smoke with a small gust of wind "Yeah, it sucks but what would you prefer? Talk to the boss about changing your work?" The black haired man didn't speak but answered her question with a glare.

"Will you two just shut up?" Their third member, a red haired man that placed their stone like hands over their ears "It's your endless bickering that make this a living hell"

The trio of goons continued their patrol in silence as they looked at the empty and sleeping city, the only noise that could be heard aside from their footsteps was the howl of the wind as it dragged trash along the streets.

Clank

A sudden noise that reverberated across the sky caught their attention, something close to metal hitting metal and it came from an alley just a few steps away from them, they exchanged looks before the red head let out a breath "It's probably just some dumb cat so stay here" The other two didn't argue with him as they watched him walk into the dark space.

A minute passed.

Then another…

and another…

When five minutes had passed, the two goons looked at eachother confused, the woman was the first to speak "The fuck is taking him so long?" the man shrugged before stepping forward and looking down the alley only to drop his cigar in confusion "What the…"

"What? What is it?" the woman moved to his side only to raise an eyebrow at what she saw.

An empty alley, the only things of note were the two trash cans that were there, one with its lid on the floor.

"Where the fuck did he go?" The man asked as he walked in, followed closely by his female companion "That idiot has rocks for hands, how did he just disappear without making a noise?"

She walked further down the alley looking for any sign of her coworker only to find nothing. It was frustrating and… scary, people don't just simply disappear, something, or someone, had to have done something to him.

That's when a strong gust of wind passed behind her, it felt too sudden and unnatural in a night that until now had been quiet and unchanging, so she turned and a chill ran down her spine as she saw the empty alley.

Except for the still lit cigar burning on the floor.

Her eyes darted around the scene and once again found no traces of anyone other than herself but she couldn't help the sudden dread that began to twist her insides, hands shaking by her sides, she ran to the entrance of the alley and looked around only for her throat to go dry when she saw nothing.

That's when it happened.

The soft sound of steps on concrete accompanied by the sound of dragging something. She turned to where she heard the sound coming, arms raised as the wind began to rush around her and cold sweat dripped down her back.

As the footsteps came closer, the first thing she saw were eyes. Tiny scarlet dots surrounded by a toxic green that seemed to shine with the moon, as they finally walked into view, her blood ran cold.

They were nothing more than a teen, barely a threat, or at least that's how they should be if it wasn't for the fact that in their hands they were dragging behind them her unconscious companions, their fingers digging into their heads with enough strength to begin dripping blood.

"You little shit…" she wanted to sound intimidating but the way his eyes unblinkingly stared at her and his stoic expression didn't even change, her heart start to race "Let them go and I won't break your-"

Her threat was cut short by the sickening crunch and quelch of bone and meat, now with a pale face and wide trembling eyes she looked down at the ground and saw the headless bodies of her companions and the red hands of the boy.

Now, fully shaking, she looked back at the boy who now sported a mad cheshire grin, the edges of which contorted their face in a terrifying way.

The rushing gusts of air disappeared around her as fear took control and her legs gave out under her, with her heart beating out of her chest she could only watch as the boy raised his arm, fresh blood dripping off his fingers, as red sparks began to jump off of him.

Bringing up any remaining strength and throwing away any remaining pride she had, she forced herself to try and drag herself away from the boy but the moment she felt his hand grab the back of her head, she knew it was too late.

Nothing but a stain on the ground remained of her.

--

In the main base of the Shie Hassaikai, subordinates moved busily, some carrying boxes, other large stacks of papers, many wouldn't believe the amount of work that was needed to keep a gang running.

Only two people were not moving and only watched the others work like ants, they were two of the fearsome 'Eight Bullets'. The drunkard Deidoro Sakaki and Joi Irinaka alias 'Mimic'.

They were both making sure their subordinates were working correctly, although Deidoro was spending most of his time drinking, leaving most of the work to Joi in their small puppet.

Knock knock

The entire base froze and turned to the main door, a thick metal gate, as someone had just… knocked on it.

A deep pressure was felt by everyone as they didn't move, the only ones that seemed unaffected were the two Bullets, Deidoro glanced to the puppet on his side which simply gave him a nod, the drunkard began pulling a few knives out of his clothes as he slowly approached the door.

"Knock knock, Pizza delivery!"

The gate and most of the wall, alongside Deidoro, exploded to pieces as Izuku punched through it, freely walking in he looked around the base with a smile "Nice place you got here" looking at everyone in the room his smile suddenly became sharper and a wild glint danced in his red and green eyes "Too bad this will be the last place you'll ever see!"

Every grunt dropped what they were doing and ran at Midoriya whose smile never faltered even at the wave of incoming attacks.

With a simple wave of his hand an ocean of blue flames consumed the frontline of thugs but, either too dumb or too brave, the rest did not stop as they continued their charge.

Smiling even wider, Izuku let blackwhip out as it quickly wrapped around his arms and turned into the form of a gauntlet as he dashed forward, his body already covered in red electricity.

Any kind of common sense left the boy as he became the center of the mosh pit, swinging his fist recklessly as he ripped and teared the villains apart with his bare hands, of course he was also here to sate his appetite.

Grabbing a villain by the head, he pushed All For One into them as they searched them for their quirk, red lines appearing around the part where he had taken hold as the villain screamed in agony and when he was empty, Izuku turned around and used the body as a weapon as he slammed the others.

But these were just the appetizers, slowly he began to move through the waves to where his first target stood, it was faint but he could still see the light inside that doll.

Having had enough of the flies around him, his blackwhipe made gauntlets disappeared as his arms began to change, something he remembered from his fight with Shigaraki as All For One began to develop inside him.

The skin and muscles in his arms began to grow at unbelievable speeds becoming a mass of arms and fingers that he used to push, grab and crush, and just to finish it off, his throat began to shine as he let out a fatal breath of fire around him leaving nothing but ashes.

Joi, on seeing this display of absolute power, understood that he couldn't beat the boy, at least not with his current strength. With no doubt in his mind he pulled out a syringe and stabbed it into the doll and pushed its purpled contents into himself.

Izuku watched with interest as Joi injected himself with Trigger, looking as the small light inside him seemed to shake as it slowly took a purplish tone. Izuku had not been present when it happened last time but he had heard records of others as how the drug affected the power of his quirk so he was excited to see if he could make things more interesting for him.

Joi burst out of the doll panting as his veins popped out, stumbling around he couldn't get a hold of himself as he felt his instincts take hold and fell towards one of the walls and phased into it.

Izuku watched the silhouette of a man move in the walls as a boisterous laugh came from all around him "You are strong brat, I'll give you that!" the wall around him began to shake and move as if an earthquake was happening "But that ends here!"

Simply answering his threat with a smile, Izuku raised his arm and flicked his finger, the force of the compressed air blowing a hole on the walls but Joi's laugh only got louder "I'm not bound to a single object now! The entire facility and its tunnels are me!"

"Then I guess that just means…" Even more sparks appeared around him as his veins glowed a bright red and his skin bubbled before growing into an extra pair of arms before the four of them were enveloped by blackwhip "I just have to tear this place apart until I find you!"

Joi couldn't help the chill that rushed up his spine at hearing the excitement in the kids voice as he realized that this was nothing but a game for him.

That's how their chase of cat and mouse began, with Joi trying to crush Midoriya with wall only for the white haired boy to break through them as he chased after him, even if he shouldn't know where he was the kid was perfectly behind his tail, unfortunately for him Izuku had already used Search on him and he could perfectly pinpoint his location.

With no options left Joi decided to move a room where some of his other Bullets were into the boy's path to either distract him or kill him and who better than their spear and shield combo.

The walls around Izuku shifted once again and his attention shifted from Joi to the sudden pair that were pushed in front of him, both looking equally confused.

Hekiji,a tall, slim man looked around only to notice the young boy that looked at them with curiosity and it would seem like Kendo, who looked the complete opposite of Hekiji, a towering, muscular man, had also taken notice.

"Just what the hell is happening?" Kendo looked down at the young boy as he asked no one but what they didn't expect was to actually get an answer.

"That little bastard broke into the base and already killed thousands of our goons and a Bullet, so make sure to turn him into a stain on the wall!!" As they listened to the agitated voice of Joi, the spear and shield duo couldn't help but think of this as nothing more than an exaggeration even if his appearance was weird with four arms and those red and black gauntlets on them.

"If they lost a kid like this, then that just means they were weak" Kendo mocked his fallen comrades as he approached Izuku who had yet to blink "This will be over in seconds!" he boasted as he pulled his arm back and used his quirk.

His quirk was a simple one, Strongarm allowed him to rotate his shoulders at extreme speeds which allowed him to send a near-endless barrage of bullet punches, add that with his insane strength and the result is obvious.

As he sent his fist forward, the expected happened and Kendo punched a hole through the teeanager in seconds but since the kid had made a joke out of them he decided to make a good example out of the white haired boy by making him a human swiss cheese.

In a blink, more holes appeared on Izuku's body, some were purposefully aimed at his joints so his arms and legs were brutally cut off the rest of him. As the barrage ended the mangled corpse of the boy fell to the ground with a wet splat, Kendo turned around with a scoff, sure that he had taken care of the problem.

Hekiji simply shook his head as he thought about the hassle of cleaning the mess later but he couldn't utter a word as his face went pale and reflexibly used his quirk to create a barrier to cover himself and Kendo.

Surprised by his partner's sudden move, Kendo asks "What are you-" We need to leave, now ." Hekiji interrupts him, his voice shaking with fear as he looks at something behind Kendo.

"That's a really neat quirk you have" the new voice made Kendo flinch as he turned around only to take a step back in surprise as he looked at the kid he had just killed standing perfectly fine. If it wasn't because of the tattered clothes or the severed limbs that remained on the floor he would have thought that he had never touched him.

With an excited smile, Izuku pulled back his own fist as his arm began to bulge and grow in size as red sparks jumped off him "Now let me show you mine"

Hekiji's barrier is as strong as a thick wall of steel so he couldn't wrap his mind as this child broke it with a single punch or maybe it was the fact that the attack had not ended there but continued until his arm had stretched like rubber and made it all the way over to him, making a gaping hole on his chest.

Pulling his arm back, Izuku looked at Hekiji's dead body fall to the ground with a disappointed expression "Boring…" then he turned to look at Kendo who, when he felt the incredible pressure the teenager exudes, took a step back "Guess I'll just take my price"

"You-!!" Before Kendo could even make a move, Izuku was already on him.

In a single move, Izuku thrust his hand deep into Kendo's chest and used All For One causing red lines to burn into the villain's skin as Izuku seemed to casually look for something inside him.

His eyes lit up as the red strings that were searching inside the yakuza's body, a small ball of light that pulsed with energy, the strings got to work like the string of a spider as it surrounded the ball like a cacoon and began pulling it towards Izuku.

Although, the noises that Kendo was making sounded suspiciously a lot like he was choking were annoying him.

A sudden wave of fresh air seemed to pass over him as he absorbed the little orb into his hand and he could feel it fall into place next to the other stars inside of him, making the little galaxy inside of him a little bigger.

Finally pulling his hand back did Izuku realize that the reason Kendo was making those noises was that he had accidentally crushed one of his lungs, well nothing he can do except focus on his captive audience.

Turning back towards the walls he could see in the distance the faint light of Joi's quirk, he was a really slippery guy and Izuku wanted to see if he could entertain him but he had grown bored of him and he had someone else in mind.

Pulling his arms back, he could feel the new captured star inside of him shine brightly as he fed it the energy of One For All and how his own arms were shaking with excitement at seeing the result.

Just like he had seen Kendo do, Izuku sent his fist forth.

Joi had no chance to react as an endless barrage of attacks suddenly rained down on him, each one of those attacks made giant gaps on their base from the tunnels deep within the ground all the way to the outside.

And just like that, his cover had been blown, having been forced out of the wall he had been inside he found himself in the middle of the storm and his brain could barely work as the pain blinded him.

And just like a simple piece of paper, Joi was torn to shreds.

With a dangerous glint in his eyes, Izuku headed deeper into the lair.

--

A small child, a girl with dirty white hair and a strange looking horn on her forehead wearing dirty and ragged clothes, sat curled up in the corner of a small cell looking at the ceiling as she felt the entire world around her shake.

Eri was used to danger, she lived in it, experienced it everyday, so for her something like an earthquake just made her slightly curious.

The muffled sound of sirens could also be heard as the alarms of the entire base sound off.

"Shit, another group lost contact…" One of the guards outside her room complained.

"What is happening out there…" the second guard muttered, clearly worried.

"Don't tell me you're scared" the first guard mocked them "If it was something big than the eight bullets would take care of it and we still have our boss as a last defense"

"I know but the alarms have been going for a really long while and we can't haven't gotten any contact with any of the other groups… maybe, we should-!!" their conversation was sudden as a new much younger voice spoke.

"This place sure is a labyrinth but I should be close now"

"Hey you! How did you get here, what happened to the others!?"

"Oh good, maybe you guys will be able to point me in the right direction!

"You little shi-AAGGH!"

"S-Stop! No!"

Eri closed her eyes and tried her hardest to become smaller, she didn't have to see to know what was going outside, the wet smacks, echoing crunches, pained cries and the metallic smell were more than enough for her to give her a clear image of the conflict outside.

What did surprise her was the sudden quiet that was then followed by the soft jingle of keys, bringing all of her bravery together, she dared to look at the door to see who it was.

She couldn't recognize the person that stood at her door, with a head of striking white curls, a pair of shining emerald eyes that seemed to glow in the dark, cheeks and nose that were covered in dark freckles that were barely visible in the dim light of her room, the boy used the keys to open the lock on her door and easily pushed it open as they carefully walked in.

His eyes slowly looked around the room, a flash of disgust passing over their eyes as they saw the poor condition it was in before settling on her small form. Their eyes widened a little before changing to a much softer look.

She can't help but flinch as he walks up to her, burying her face into her knees again as she waits for the pain to come.

A few seconds pass…

But it never comes.

She tentatively raises her head again and sees that the boy… has sat on the ground next to her, looking at her with the same warm green eyes, he looks at her with such affection that she can't help but be confused by it.

The two just stare at each other, both wait for the other to make the first move and while Eri is dumbfounded by the situation the boy just acts as if he had all the time in the world.

Not knowing what to do in this sudden stalemate she found herself in, the little girl decided to break the silence "W-Who…" her voice came out like a quiet raspy whisper from the lack of use, they didn't like it when she spoke or cried so she kept quiet.

A flash of anger came and went in the blink of an eye as the boy softly answered her question "I'm Izuku Midoriya" he answered with a gentle smile.

Izuku Midoriya

The name echoed in her head, she didn't recognize it from any of the others she had heard so he might be someone that had just joined but what he had done outside didn't make sense to her, so like the curious child she was, she asked "Why are you…"

"Why am I here? Is that what you want to ask?" Izuku asked, since talking was still difficult for her, he wanted to be sure he could answer correctly, and she nodded.

"It's simple" he began "I'm here to get you out of here"

I'm here to get you out of here

The simple way he had said those words made her mind go blank, she had spent years hoping -praying- for her chance to get out of this prison and suddenly this boy comes in and offers her that freedom, it was too much for her little mind.

" Why? "

The question comes out faster than she could process it.

Why was he here? Why was he acting like this to her, so kind, so warm? Why was he helping her? that little question held so much of her that she could barely understand it herself

Her whole life she had been nothing more than a tool for others to use, torn and put back together so many times that she wasn't sure if she was still herself, she was in this cage for something, she didn't know what but she must deserve it somehow.

He should fear her, be disgusted, hate her at the very least, but he just give her his kindness that she doesn't understand

So why…

"Because you don't deserve this" he told her, voice strafy and resolute as one of his hands slowly reached to cup her face, his hand bloody and sticky but oh so warm "They hurt you for no more than their own selfish reasons, they took away the happiness that was rightly yours, you did nothing wrong."

Why did her chest feel so warm?

Before she knew it, her vision became blurry because of the warm tears that had begun to run down her face, as if a pipe had burst inside of her her grief and pain from all those years had begun to spill out of her, all because of this boy -Izuku Midoriya- who had shown her what it meant to be loved.

With trembling lips she began to cry with all her little heart could give as she wailed like a baby for the first time in years, her cries filled with sorrow.

Her small bandaged hands reached for the hand that still tenderly held her face and she grabbed it with all her might, even if it wasn't much, scared that the new warmth she had found would suddenly disappear.

But Izuku wouldn't leave, never again would he lose her.

With his other hand he slowly and carefully pulled her towards him and she practically melted into his embrace as she let her stain his already bloody clothes.

Her little body shook with every sob, a storm of emotions inside her as her walls came crumbling down but even then, right here right now…

She felt safer than ever before.

Minutes seemed like hours as her cries filled the room but all that emotion would tire anyone, and little Eri was no exception as she fell asleep still holding tightly to Izuku, the young time traveler couldn't help but smile as he looked at her small form.

In his last life, when everything seemed to be falling apart, Eri held strong, having lived through a horrible situation for most of her, tragedy wasn't a stranger to her but an old friend so when the villains struck, she didn't falter.

Of course they never let her fight or even get close to the conflict, putting her with the other civilians in bunkers they had made to keep them safe, so when his teacher, their leader, Aizawa made him promise to take care of her when they were finished, it drove a stake to his heart as they both knew that only the younger of the two would make it out.

That promise was one of the things that had kept him going all the way to the day he finally beat All For One, the thought of giving the girl the news threatened to eat him alive, she had gained so much only to lose it all again in such short amount of time, it was as if fate was playing a horrible trick on them.

But now, none of that would ever happen, he will make sure of that, no matter the cost.

Using the arm that the little girl wasn't clinging to, he pulled out one of the phones he had grabbed from one of the grunts and sent his location to Aizawa's number, since this had become a normal thing for the two of them and with the commotion that Izuku had most definitely caused, he had no doubt that the hero would be here in no time.

Throwing the phone away, he carefully grabbed Eri with both his arms and carried her out of the room. He wanted to leave the base as soon as possible but there was still one loose end for him to take care of.

But it would seem that, if the sound of footsteps that got closer to him were any indication, he wouldn't need to go too far.

As Kai Chisaki, otherwise known as Overhaul, finally appeared, a disgruntled expression on his face, he stopped a few feet away from Izuku who had yet to even glance at him, more preoccupied with the small girl in his arms.

"Are you the bastard that threw my base into chaos?" Chisaki asked, his words covered in venom as he glared at the white haired boy.

Izuku didn't answer.

Fingers twitching, he asked again "Who the fuck are you?" Once again, Izuku didn't answer.

Pulling his right glove off of his hand, Overhaul snarled "I said! Who the fuck are-" trhwing his uncovered hand to the wall he was ready to use his quirk to make the kid into nothing more then a piece of abstract art, the only problem was that a sudden blur of black and red interrupted him.

Blackwhip manifested and shot out of Izuku's back in less than a second to wrap around Overhaul's wrist and stop him before he could make a move.

Slowly, Izuku turned his eyes to the yakuza, the center of his eyes ruby red surrounded by toxic green, nothing but pure hatred could be seen in the boy's eyes as he looked at the man.

"She's trying to sleep" even though he was whispering, his voice reached the yakuza leader just as if he was standing next to him as Eri buried her face into his chest.

Overhaul tried to pull his arm free from its restrains but the quirk had a tight hold on him, not even letting him budge from place but Izuku was not done, he had a long list of people he wanted to get revenge on, and Overhaul was really high on his list.

With a simple thought, the grip on the man's wrist tightened, the pain shooting through his body as he tried to rip the tendrill off him only to fall to his knees in pain as Blackwhip only tightened its hold until-

Crack

-Overhaul pulled air, ready to scream as the pain sent bolts up his spine but just as fast as the first one, a new tentacle ripped his bird mask off from his face and covered his mouth muffling his screams.

"Good, that should keep you quiet" Izuku slowly walked closer to the villain, a third tentacle quickly moving to grab the villains left wrist "Now, this is how we are going to do things" Izuku simply placed his hand over Overhaul's face and

Pulled

Overhaul tried to scream as he felt something deep inside of him be forcefully ripped out of its place, it was similar to a hand having punctured his chest, moving his organs aside while looking for something and when the found it, they took a tight grip of it and just as forcefully as they pushed in, they pulled out making a mess of his insides.

Just like that, Izuku had stolen his quirk, made him what the man had always wanted to be.

Quirkless.

Free of the sickness that he had wanted to rid the world off.

So he started breaking.

He finished the remaining wrist he had.

He broke his arms.

Then his hands and fingers.

Next his ribs.

His hip.

Legs.

Knees.

Feet.

He continued to break all of his bones while keeping him gagged so that Eri could sleep and when he ran out of anything to break that wouldn't kill him.

He would force a healing quirk on him until his body was in perfect shape again.

And he would start again.

Break.

Heal.

Repeat.

Break.

Heal.

Repeat.

Break.

Heal.

Repeat.

Break.

Heal.

Repeat.

At some point, the screams stopped.

When Overhaul's eyes became blurry and distant did he pull back the healing quirk.

To finish it off, Izuku wouldn't do anything flashy, this scum didn't deserve that, so he simply raised his foot over the villains head and

Break

--

Aizawa couldn't believe the sight before him.

The sudden mesage that he had gotten from a random number, who he had guest was from his favorite vigilante, had led him to what he could only describe as a warzone.

The broken entrance of a building that in the night looked like the maw of a beast showed hundreds of corpses that had been torn or bludgeoned to death.

Heading deeper inside showed a labyrinth of, or at least the remains of one as it was covered in holes the size of buildings, one of them, the biggest hole of them all, reached all the way to the outside letting the light of the moon through.

As he walked lower, he found rooms filled with even more corpses, some burned to ashes, others with large holes on their bodies and even some that looked to be in the middle of melting.

But nothing could match the sight at the bottom floor.

Sitting with their back to a wall was their student Izuku Midoriya, their once green hair completely gone after being replaced by a snow white, their hands and feet covered in now dried blood as they cradled a small child in their arms and right in front of him, laying unmoving on the ground was a headless corpse.

As Izuku took notice of him, a relieved smile came to his face " Sensei, you made it "
