Todoroki Household

Shoto Todoroki's pov

I just finished getting my clothes on and I am heading for the door. "Hey Shoto, where are you going?" My sister, Fuyumi, asks as she cleans the dishes from lunch. "I'm going to the Hospital." I answer. "Why…You're gonna visit Mom, aren't you?" Fuyumi asks as I simply nod.

"Are you sure? What if something bad happens?" Fuyumi asks in a worried tone. "It's been too long since I last saw Mom." I say. "But why now?" She asked. "Because a… friend showed me that if I want to be a hero, I have to overcome my trauma." I say. "Okay, just…be safe." Fuyumi says. "I will." I say with a smile.

A thought then crosses my mind. "Hey Fuyumi, where's the old bastard? It's too quiet." I ask. "I think an emergency was called in and he went to investigate." Fuyumi answers. "Probably just some nobody." I say as I walk through the door. On the way, I can't help but feel that something is wrong. Why am I even worried for the old bastard?

In the woods

Endeavor's pov

BOOM!

BOOM!

Damn! This may be harder than I thought! Garou and I both deliver blows to each other while zooming around different points of the forest. I fire two fireballs at Garou, but he dodges and a tree gets hit instead. While in the air, I use my fire to spin myself before boosting the ground and slamming my foot on the ground, destroying it. However, Garou seems to see that move coming and dodges.

Not giving him time to rest, I rush at him and delivered punches, with my fists on fire. Garou manages to block the attacks, but not without sustaining burns on his arms. We then proceed to deliver attacks at each other faster than the eye can see. We punch each other in the face, sending us back a few meters.

I prepare to launch another fireball, but Garou moves in front of Manuel's unconscious body. Damn, he's using Manuel as a way to prevent me from using my long range attacks. However, I'm still good in close quarters! "Burning Blows!" I yell as I cover my fists in fire and punch Garou in the gut multiple times. "Gaaahhh! Fists of Flowing Water Crushing Rock!" Garou yells as he redirects my attacks.

I duck under a punch of his and use my fire to boost my arm to try and hit his face. However, Garou jumps up and uses his knee to hit my fist away from him as he uses his other knee to hit me in the head, slamming me into the ground. "GRRRAAAHHH!" Garou yells as he is about to slam his foot on me. However, I launch a massive fire beam at him as he dodges and hits the ground hard. "Bastard! You let me bury you to lure me in!" Garou says, exhausted. I get up from the ground with blood coming from my head.

I see now. He defends himself using Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock. So it is true, this is Silverfang's student. Garou then tears his bandages off as he straightens his bruised, bloody body. Heh, not giving up yet. Good. I want to beat you while you still have energy. Then I can prove that I'm better than All Might.

Garou's pov

This one's tough. His speed is insane and he's got strong fire power. It's clear he'll kill me without hesitation. Busted up like this, it'll take a lot to beat him. Damn it! I turn around with my back facing Endeavor. "Surrender. There is no way that you can escape." Endeavor says, thinking I am trying to escape when I am really getting into position.

The heroes don't know that I have a technique called, Technique Mimicry. Whatever fighting style they have, I can copy with ease. Even if I saw it only once. Like Mirko's fighting style. That's what I need. I have to remember the way she moved. I get on all fours and jump from tree to tree in a blur. "Wait, those are Mirko's moves!" Endeavor yells, seeing me copy Mirko's moves.

I get behind him and jump at him, grabbing his arm. "Gotcha!" I say. I then twist my whole body, with his arm with me, breaking it. "AAAAHHHH!" Endeavor screams. "You see I've always had a nag for breaking muscle headed idiot's limbs! Too bad for you!" I yell.

Suddenly, Endeavor's broken arm let go of a circular device as it grows mechanical limbs and wrap around my neck. It then uses boosters to slam me against a tree and launches wires around me, pinning me to the tree. "Heh, guess those, grr, support devices actually work." Endeavor says, holding his broken arm. Of course he would bring a cheap toy to attack me.

"Hehe, One hero after another." I say. "I must have really gotten your attention. Was there a memo or something." I say with a bloody smirk. "I'm stoked to be this popular." I say. Endeavor then gives me a scowl look. Looks like another speech is coming. "The recent appearance of the evil organization, The League of Villains, has thrown the world as we know it into chaos. The Heroes must focus its efforts and work as one to defeat that threat. We cannot waste time on insignificant nobodies like you." Endeavor says. What did he just call me?! "You think I'm a nobody?!" I yell. "I don't think. I know." Endeavor says as his chest starts to glow. He's preparing his ultimate move!

"Then help me change that, Endeavor!" I yell as I place my feet against the tree. "Prominence…" Endeavor begins his move as his fire starts to get hotter. It doesn't matter as I feel a sudden wave of energy hit me, like I am getting stronger, but I pay no mind to it. "Once I've beaten you, the world will know my name and they will fear me!" I yell. "BURNNNN!" Endeavor screams as he sends a massive blast of fire at me, but I use my new found strength and break the top part of the tree I am pinned too. The blast misses me and I manage to break the wires holding me.

Not thinking, I scooped up the blood from my face and into my hair. "I want everyone to know, no hero is a match for me." I say as Endeavor's face contorts into one of fear. "A monster stands before you! STRONGER THAN ANYONE!" I declare as I feel my strength return, but it feels like I am stronger than before.

Endeavor's pov

Garou managed to break free from the support device and dodge my ultimate move, but that isn't what's scaring me the most. Somehow, Garou's appearance changed. His hair is now dyed with his own blood, causing it to turn red. And his right eye changed drastically. His entire eye is now red with his pupil glowing yellow. Is this a quirk, or something else?

Garou's pov

I feel stronger. Stronger than I was earlier. I will think about it later. After I tear Endeavor apart! I dash at Endeavor at faster speeds as he tries to block with his good hand, but fails as I threw a punch that broke his other arm. "GGGAAAAHHHH!" Endeavor screams.

I don't let up as I use Fist of Flowing Water and destroy all of his pressure points as he falls to the ground. I jump on top of him and continuously punched his face with fast attacks. I promised you I would beat you up worse than the other heroes I've hunted. Time for you to pay for daring to call yourself a hero! I am about to deliver the finishing blow when someone kicks me hard in the face, sending me back some meters.

"W…Wh…What?" Endeavor stutters with his bruised face. "Rest Endeavor. Allow us to handle things from here." An old man says. Another old man appears. "I will help the wounded, you take Garou." The second old man says. "My thanks, Big Brother." The first old man says. "Garou, face to face once again. It's been awhile." The old man says.

"I know that voice." I say, realizing who it is. I look up and see the face of my old master, Bang. "So the world's most annoying geezer finally made it." I say, annoyed that Bang is here. "I'm not sure what the hell happened to you Garou, but I will end it here." Bang declares. "Get up on your feet." Bang demands.

I get up and popped my fingers back in place and took my stance as Bang did the same. We stand there in silence for a while. Neither of us wanted this fight. Why? Why do you keep following me? I only needed you to teach me your fighting style. So why?

(Flash) 10 years ago/ Bang's pov

Garou is breathing hard from climbing the staircase that leads to my dojo. But, he finally makes it and comes face to face with me. "I…*huff*…want you…*huff* to train me." Garou demands. "Who's the kid? Kinda rude, isn't he?" My top student, Sourface, asks. Garou then falls to the ground passing out. "What the hell? Should I toss him out, Master?" Sourface asks.

I think about it for a while. It takes someone of sheer will and determination to climb the long staircase. Perhaps, he has potential. I chuckle before giving my answer, "No. When he wakes up, give him something to eat. As much as he likes.

(Present day)

Garou and I stand still before he gives a devilish smile and attacks me. "Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock!" I yell as blue streaks appear from both our hands and we begin our duel.
