In a bullet train in Hosu
Midoriya's pov
"So, um…This train isn't gonna get there until pretty late. Are you sure that's okay?" I ask Gran Torino (Quirk: Jet). "That's why I picked it. There'll be more skirmishes then, so it'll be much more fun." Gran Torino says with a smile. After everyone in my class picked their internships, I was left without one. Until, All Might said that the retired hero Gran Torino wanted me to learn under him. All Might said that Gran Torino was his teacher back when he was younger. However, All Might seemed scared when giving me Gran Torino's address.
I didn't know why All Might was scared of Gran Torino, but now I know why. When I arrived at his house, he played dead just to mess with me in a creepy way. Then he wanted to fight me to see if I could control One for All. Yes Gran Torino knows about One for All. I didn't want to hurt him since he is old, but I should have been worried about myself.
When we started, he kicked my ass all over the place. I ended up with bruises all over my body. I finally understood why All Might is afraid of him. Gran Torino did give me some advice, saying when I use One for All to spread the power equally throughout my body instead of just one limb. It has helped me a lot.
Now we are heading towards Hosu so I can get some field experience for when I go Pro. Hosu is loaded with crime and is very dangerous. However, that seems not to bother Gran Torino since, in his words, "It will make you less of a pussy." Maybe we just have different ideas about what fun is.
I pull out my phone to see if Iida replied to a text message I sent a while back. "You kids these days. You're constantly buried in your cell phones." Gran Torino says. Iida read the message, but didn't reply. I don't think Iida has ever waited more than three minutes to respond to something before.
Besides going to Hosu to get some field training, I want to make sure Iida is okay after what happened to his brother. "Hey did you see that? A building exploded." A civilian says. "Where?" A female civilian asks. "What's the ruckus?" Gran Torino asks. "Maybe a fire." I answer. "Passengers, please hold onto your seats." Announcement 28A says as the train hits the brakes, hard. Suddenly, a pro hero is smashed into the train as the people start to panic. "What the—" The Pro is cutoff by a creature grabbing his head and smashing it on the floor.
The creature has green skin, wears ripped jeans, and has its brain exposed with eyes on it. "Nomu!" I yell, identifying the creature. "I want you to stay back, you hear me?!" Gran Torino yells as he flies in the air and smashes his foot into the Nomu's head. He then pushes the Nomu off the train through the hole it made and into a nearby building. I look through the hole and see a massive fire happening in the city. "No way…What the heck is going on here?" I ask myself.
No one's pov
The people in the city run as the fire spreads and a Nomu, similar to the one at the USJ, attacks. As the city burns, Shigaraki and Kurogiri watch as Shigaraki laughs at the carnage that is being brought to the city. But his main goal is to kill Stain. Simply because Shigaraki doesn't like him. Kurogiri, however, is conflicted. He wants to make Shigaraki stop this madness, but he can't due to him being a slave to his Master's power. So, all he can do is watch.
In the streets of Hosu
Iida's pov
"What did you say? Villains appeared?" Manuel asks to his comms. "Don't worry. I can head there right now." Manuel says. "Stay with me. We're running." Manuel says as we run. Couldn't be…This is different. That murderer wouldn't be so flashy. We keep running until I stop and looked in an alley. There he is. Stain. I want to go help the people, but I must avenge my brother. Manuel doesn't notice me running into the alley to face Stain.
In the alley
Stain's pov
"That idiot's making a move. And he's so noisy." I say as I look at the smoke rising from the fire. "I'll have to dispose of him later. At the moment, I have important work to finish here." I say as I hold the hero, Native, by the head after I paralyzed him. "My body…I-I can't move." Native says. "You bastard! I'll kill you!" Native yells at me. "If you call yourself a hero, you should choose your last words with care." I say as I ready myself to cut off his head.
Suddenly, a man in armor zooms at me to attack, but I dodge and slash at his helmet, knocking it off. My attacker is just a kid. What is a child doing here? "A child wearing a suit. Who are you?" I ask him. "Run, run away from here. This is not a place for children." I say to the child.
"You're carrying blades all over your body and you're wearing a blood red scarf. You must be the Hero Killer, Stain!" The child says, identifying me. "I've been looking for you, but I didn't think I'd find you so soon." The Child says with hate. "I am—" I cut him off by pointing my blade at him.
"Your eyes are searing with vengeance. Be careful what you say next. If need be, even someone your age can be my target." I say. "Are you saying that I'm not even a threat to you?" The Child asks, clenching his fist. "You listen to me, criminal." The Child says, standing up. "I am the brother of an incredible hero who you attacked." The Child says with tears. "He's the best older brother that anyone could hope for. I have come to stop you because he can't anymore. You're going to remember my name for as long as you live. I am Ingenium, and I will defeat you! That I promise!" Ingenium says.
I remember him. I paralyzed him a while back. And now it seems his brother has come for revenge. He is no hero. "Then so be it. Die." I say.
Iida's pov
"FOR TENSIE!" I scream as I fire up my engines and shoot forward at him. However, he dodges with no effort. "Ingenium. So you're brothers." Stain says, finally figuring out who I am. "I let him live so he could spread the good word about me." Stain says as he uses the spikes on his boots to pierce my shoulder and slam his foot on my head, sending me to the ground.
I manage to turn my head to look at him as he holds his sword at me. "You're a weakling. Just like he was." Stain says, insulting my brother. Stain then stabs me in the shoulder. "You aren't heroes. You have no right to be called that. Both of you are nothing but fakes." Stain says. "Shut up, villain!" I yell, tearing up.
"You damaged his spine and paralyzed him from the waist down. He is never gonna be able to work as a pro hero again. My brother was incredible. A caring person who saved many lives. Some people looked up to. You had no right to take that all away from him!" I yell with hatred.
"He was my hero. My older brother inspired my dream that one day I could be a pro too! I won't forgive you! I'll kill you!" I yell. "Shouldn't you be worried about saving that guy?" Stain asks, pointing at someone. Who's he talking about…wait…Native? "So busy with your grudge you forgot about him. You plan on using your quirk only for yourself." Stain says.
"You're completely blinded by a selfish desire for revenge. You're about as far away from being a hero as I can imagine." Stain says, pulling his blade out of my shoulder. "And that's why you'll die tonight." Stain says, licking my blood off his blade as I suddenly can't move anymore.
Stain readies himself to bring his blade down on my head. "Goodbye child. May your death bring about a better world." Stain says. No, please! Not like this! I'm sorry Tensie! "SMASH!" Someone yells as Stain is knocked off me. I look up to see someone I didn't think would show up. "Midoriya?"
Midoriya's pov
"Don't you worry, Iida. I'm gonna save you." I say to Iida. When I got off the train and found Manuel, he said he lost Iida. So, I went looking while the pros dealt with the Nomu. I figure Iida was looking for Stain. While running, I finally found Iida and Stain. "You found him too? But how?" Iida asks. "I saw it on T.V. They had some stats on the Hero Killer. Most of his victims were found where there weren't many people. So in order to find you, I needed to search far away from the panic. In the back alleys of Hosu City." I explain.
"We have to get help from the pros." I tell Iida. "Ugh…I can't move my body. It must be his quirk." Iida tells me. "Since he cut me, I've been paralyzed." Iida says. "So cutting someone somehow activates his power, huh?" I say to myself. I then see Native unconscious on the wall. If it had just been Iida, I could've picked him up and carried him away myself. "Midoriya, please! Don't get involved!" Iida yells. "This doesn't have anything to do with you!" Iida says. I am confused. "Iida, what are you saying?" I ask.
"You showed up to save your friend's life. You even made a big entrance." Stain says, turning my attention from Iida. "But I have a duty to kill him and this so-called pro. When your friend chose to fight me, it guaranteed that the weaker of us would be culled." Stain says, threatening.
"So, what will you do?" Stain asks me. He's similar to Garou. But his eyes show that of a fanatic. I pull out my phone from behind me to try and call help, but Stain seems to notice and rushes at me. This action causes me to bring my arms up to defend myself, but all he did was throw a knife at the phone, destroying it. Dammit, now I won't be able to call back up!
"You should be careful when trying to call back up." Stain says. I have now choice but to face him alone. Hopefully a pro will come by here. "Midoriya, run away! I told you, this has nothing to do with you!" Iida yells at me. "If you really believe that, then why are you trying to become a hero in the first place?!" I yell back.
"There are plenty of things I'd like to say, but they'll have to wait. All Might was right, though. Meddling when you don't need to is the essence of being a hero!" I say as Stain, for some reason, looks shocked. He suddenly gives me a crazed smile. I rush at Stain as he swings his sword. Gotta get past the sword! I am getting as close as I can so he won't strike me! "No! If you get cut!" Iida yells. Watch the blades! Stain pulls another blade, but I dodge and end up behind him.
He swings his sword behind him to hit me. However, I jump up and used 5% of One for All to punch him in the head. I look up at him after landing, thinking I got him. But, he smiles as he brings his blade to his mouth and licks it. Suddenly I can't move. Did he cut me and I didn't even notice? One graze is all it took?!
I look up at his blade and notice blood. He licks our blood in order to paralyze us. "You're not powerful enough. Is not that you predicted my movements. You just left my field of vision, and maneuvered so that you'd be able to get in a clean shot. But I saw through your plan." Stain explains. "There are countless false heroes around here who are all talk, but I think you're worthy of staying alive. You're different from these two." Stain says as he walks towards Iida to finish him off. "Wait! Don't do it! Stop it!" I yell as he was about to finish him off.
NO! Please! I can't let this happen! I have to save him! "GET AWAY!" I yell as I somehow break through his quirk and charge at him in the blink of an eye and deliver a powerful punch. The punch sent across the alley. "What the—" I stop myself when I notice that instead of just green lightning flowing around me, there is some pink lightning forming around me as well. What's going on?
"How did you break through my quirk's influence?" Stain asks as he gets back up. I honestly don't know either. My body feels like it can handle more than 5% of One for All. I don't have time to think as Stain rushes at me and swings his sword. However, when I went to dodge, it felt like time slowed down a little. I've never moved that fast before. Stain again swings his sword at me, but I dodge and deliver a 20% punch at him. The resulting punch sent him into a building. "M…Midoriya, how did you do that?" Iida asks, shocked. "I…don't know." I answer.
A few minutes later
After Native recovered, he called the other pros to our location. They managed to defeat the Nomu on the loose with barely any casualties. Except one which managed to escape. I am being looked at by a doctor when I hear a familiar voice. "What are you doing here, boy?!" Gran Torino asks as I notice him. "Gran Torino—" I am cut off when Gran Torino flies at me and kicks me in the face. "I thought I told you to stay on the bullet train!" He scolds me. "Sorry sir." I apologize. "Tsk, At least you're okay." Gran Torino says.
He then notices Stain knocked out and tied up by me. "Is that the Hero Killer?!" Gran Torino asks. "Yeah. The kid managed to capture him by himself." Native says. "Hm, pretty impressive kid." Gran Torino compliments me. "But what's with your hair?" Gran Torino asks. Huh?" I am confused. "Your hair looks spickier and the tips are a little pink." Gran Torino says. I look at the mirror in the ambulance and my hair did change slightly. How did my hair change?
"Midoriya." Iida calls my name as I turn to look at him. "You were hurt because of me. I'm truly sorry. I was just so angry. I couldn't…*sob* see what I was doing." Iida apologizes. "I'm sorry too, Iida. You were going through so much by yourself, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. Even though I'm your friend." I apologize as he cries a little. All things considered, if it wasn't for whatever happened to me, I wouldn't have been able to beat the Hero Killer.
Suddenly, a flying Nomu comes out of nowhere as it grabs me with its talons. "Hey, let go!" I yell, trying to escape as it leaks blood. However, it suddenly stops. I look and see Stain rushing at me. He must have licked the Nomu's blood. "The word *hero* has lost all meaning in this society. The world is overrun by fakes and criminals like you who chase petty dreams!" Stain yells as he uses a hidden blade to split the Nomu's head in two. "You must all be purged!" Stain says as I look at him in fear.
"Everything that I do…" Stain rips the blade from the Nomu's body. "...is to create a stronger society." Stain says as he stood up. "Did he just save that kid?" A pro asks. "He took him hostage, idiot." Another answers. "He killed that guy with no hesitation." Another pro says. "Everyone be on your guard, we've got a fight on our hands." A female pro says. But Stain saved me. If he wanted me dead he would've done it by now. Don't they see that?
Stain turns towards the heroes as his mask falls off and reveals that he has no nose. "You false heroes!"Stain yells as he releases a massive amount of bloodlust. "I'll make this world right. These streets must run with the blood of hypocrites! But I will not be the one to do it!" Stain then notices a cameraman recording everything. "GAROU! If you can hear me, continue your work and make this world better!" Stain yells as he slams his foot on the ground.
"Come on! Just try and stop me, you fakes! Even if I die, Garou will continue my work!" Stain yells with all of his rage. Suddenly, he drops his blade. When I look at him, he look like a statue without pupils. His body drops and a doctor with an x-ray quirk comes to check on him. "His ribs…they've all pierced his lungs." The doctor said. Everyone is confused on how that happened, but I know. My punch from earlier. It destroyed his ribcage. I killed him. It can't be. I only used 20%. What's happening to me?
