May Your Heart Go Beyond

by The OC Maniac

Taking place after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3, Sora had just used the power of Waking one last time to Save Kairi, however this drains him of almost all of his power and leaves him just like he would be at the start of every new adventure. Now stranded in an unfamiliar world, he must now become a hero in order to protect this world from the darkness that comes for it.

Chapter 32

[Silence]

The sun had set a few minutes ago. Sora, and Bubble Girl were sitting next to each other on the train, while Centipeder was sitting across the two by himself. The train wasn't crowded as plenty of seats were open, probably because it wasn't as busy at the stations as they would be at day time. Bubble Girl was reviewing some of the wounds she showed Sora how to fix before and Centipeder was reading articles about The Hero Killer. As Sora was finishing up a pretend patch up on Bubble Girl's hand and removing the bandages, the blue skinned Pro noticed something about the boy's mood.

"You seem a little excited, Light Heart." She pointed out.

"Well, yeah." Sora replied, choosing not to deny it. "I mean, it's my first time out on the field now."

"Pretty eager, aren't we." The sidekick stated.

"Of course." The Keyblade wielder confirmed. "I get to go out and help people, and that always makes me happy, so why not get excited?"

She smirked as well as Centipeder, and they continued to enjoy the ride.

"Huh?" A passenger noticed something and spoke up. "Is it just me, or is there a building on fire outside?"

"What?" Another passenger responded, causing the three to wonder what they were looking at.

Centipeder looked out his window and saw what the crowd was seeing. "That's not good." He stated.

"Is there actually a building on fire?" Bubble Girl asked.

"Passengers." The intercom came on. "Please hold on to your seats."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Enemy Strike]

Everyone in the car jerked forward thanks to the emergency brakes being applied and hit the seat in front of them, but that wasn't all. There was a noise that sounded like a crash that came from one car behind them and they also heard some fighting before Sora got up and looked out the window to see a short man in yellow and white tackle some grey skinned guy out of the train and into a nearby building.

"Someone just tackled a guy off the train and into a building." Sora told the Pros as they got back up.

"Someone must have attacked the train." Centipeder stated.

"There's most likely wounded in the car behind us." Bubble Girl pointed out.

"Let's move." The bug headed Pro ordered as the other two nodded.

As the three were about to reach the door, a pair of heated blades stabbed the ceiling and slashed a hole on top of the car, before jumping in and revealing itself to be a Heat Saber.

"Not good!" Sora stated as he saw the Heartless emblem on its shoulder and summoned Oblivion.

Centipeder was first to act and restrained it with his limbs before slamming it to the wall and telling the other two to go, but then the Heat Saber broke free by burning the Pro's arms, forcing him to let go or have his arms melted.

Sora aimed Oblivion and casted a Blizzard spell that stunned it for a moment, then grabbed it and bashed it's face with the Keyblade before it counter slashed and set Sora's jacket on fire, causing him to focus on that before he burns up. Bubble Girl was escorting the passengers to the car in front of them while the two were holding the monster back.

Once everyone was out of the car, she went back and threw some bubbles in between the three of them and the Heat Saber. The Heartless attacked the bubbles while she helped put Sora out and look at the damage done to Centipeder's arms. Thankfully, the exoskeleton like skin wasn't burnt off, just really heated up.

The Heat Saber finished attacking the bubbles and went to attack her, but Sora got in the way and blasted it again with a barrage of Blizzard spells, exhausting his magic and forcing it into a recharge state, but managing to force the Heartless back a bit. Sora didn't take any chance and threw Oblivion at the Heartless' chest, impaling it before charging and kicking the blade deeper in, finally killing it.

He called Oblivion back and turned around to help Centipeder, but then a group of High Soldiers jumped into the car through the hole that was made earlier. They all charged Sora, but this time, Centipeder managed to wrap his arms around most of them and keep them restrained while Sora took out the ones he missed. The Pro then slammed the creatures into each other, dazing them for a moment before Sora took them out.

[Silence]

The three of them took a second to breathe before Centipeder told Sora, "You know you shouldn't be fighting."

"Then why didn't you stop me?" He asked in between pants.

"Because you seem to know how to fight these things." The Pro pointed out.

"I've fought them before." Sora explained. "They'll go after me whenever, and they don't stop when they see me."

[Play KH3 OST Monstropolis Factory]

"Then leaving you out of this fight is impossible now." Centipeder concluded as Sora nodded. He sighed and then began giving orders. "Bubble Girl, get to the other cart and check for any wounded. Light Heart, stick your head out that hole in the ceiling and tell me what you see."

The two did as ordered and Sora jumped out of the car through the hole and reported the damage. "There's a big fight going on outside in the city!" He informed the Pro. "I can see a few things flying and fighting something on the ground!"

"Most likely a Hero group responding to them!" Centipeder stated. "What else?"

Sora looked around and then he heard some metal creaking as he looked to his left and said. "More of them, heading for the car you told Bubble Girl to be!"

"Crap!" Centipeder cursed. "Try to stall as many as you can while I help Bubble Girl escort the civilians!"

"Got it!" Sora said, before the two went to work.

[Play KH3 OST Monstropolis Crisis]

Three Dustfliers, another Heat Saber and a pair of Flare Notes were on top of the train and preparing to enter through the hole in the side. Sora used his flowmotion to blitz his way towards them and slash at the heat blade multiple times, forcing it back a bit and stunning it, but only to be healed by the Flare Notes.

Sora then charged the Heat Saber and baited it to attack him. Once it did, he jumped over it and threw Oblivion at one of the Flare Notes, killing it in one strike. He then called back the blade and threw it once more toward the other but one of the Dustfliers got in the way and took the attack instead. It was injured, but survived.

Sora attempted to try again, but the Heat Saber slashed at him again, nearly hitting him. Then the other two Dustfliers flew into the fray and started to shoot fireballs at Sora, who had to block them, or risk them damaging the train even more. He managed to block the first one easily, but he barely had time to block the second one as the Heat Saber was charging at him once more.

Sora jumped up and landed on the Heat Saber's head. Then he jumped once more and landed on one of the two Dustfliers that attacked him, riding it for a few seconds before finding the Flare Note as it finished healing the injured Dustflier from before. He used his flowmotion and blitzed towards the Heartless, but it saw him coming and spit out a stream of fire in front of it.

Sora noticed this and held Oblivion in front of him and angled it a bit. Once he got the right angle, he managed to have the teeth latch to the body of the Flare Note and he used the momentum of the flowmotion to swing his body around the stream while at the same time, splitting the monster in half before it faded away.

Sora landed back on the car and began to focus as the three Dustfliers were all coming in to attack. He held Oblivion forward and performed Bladefury Eclipse, sending 30 blades out, ten for each of them. They couldn't avoid the attack and were all hit head on, forcing them to back off.

Sora then jumped back as the Heat Saber tried to attack him again. The boy jumped back in and bashed the Heartless' had a few times before dodging it's attempted counter and then striking it hard in the chest and forcing it back again.

Sora then saw two of the Dustfliers coming in for a second attempt and he got ready to finish them. Before they could get a chance to throw their fireballs, Sora jumped on one and yanked its head sideways to force it into the other, causing them to crash mid air before Sora slashed them both dead.

As The Keyblade wielder was about to land on the ground, the third one swooped down and caught him by surprise, grabbing him with its talons on it's feet and then slamming him onto the car and then holding him by the shoulders for the Heat Saber to attack.

The Heat Saber Charged and almost hit Sora, but he got out of that situation by going into dark form, forcing the Dustflier to let go. The boy then threw Oblivion at the final Dustflier, killing it, before calling back the blade and making a barrier to block the next attack that the Heat Saber attempted. Sora rebounded the attack and stunned the Heat Saber again.

Not wasting any time, he used the strength of Dark form to finish off the Heat Saber, since his magic was still recharging.

After that fight was over, he then peeked his head into the hole in the wall and looked to See Bubble Girl treating a badly wounded Hero while any other injured passengers were already treated.

[Silence]

The Keyblade wielder climbed down and back into the car and reported "No more bad guys near the train."

"Good." Centipeder said. "Now we can focus on getting these people to safety."

"Right." Sora replied before looking back at the hole in the wall.

[Play KH1 OST Strange Whispers]

Back at the rooftop, Shigaraki could barely control his excitement as he laughed maniacally and said "Now THIS is a good game! The Nomu make such Great Play things."

"Are you not going to participate in the fight?" Kurogiri asked.

"Don't be stupid." Tomura answered. "My injuries aren't closed yet. That's why I brought those pets with us." He let out another laugh as he announced "Once this night is over, the world will have forgotten you ever existed, Hero Killer."

The Figure sat and let everything around them soak in. They hadn't felt this good in over a decade. It almost felt like a new experience. As they were in the moment, something caught their eye. A Pro Hero dressed in an oddly familiar way had run into a very narrow ally, most likely trying to cut through it and find more people to help try and repel the threat.

About halfway through the alley, he was ambushed by the Hero Killer, and pinned to the wall, his left shoulder blade was cut and bleeding as the Blood licker did exactly that, ingesting some and paralyzing the man. It was then that Stain had noticed the fight as he looked in the general direction of where the skirmish began.

[Silence]

The figure then felt another slight dark presence in the area and glanced to see...Ingenium? No. The helmet is different and the engine tubes are protruding from this person's legs instead of elbows. An admirer, maybe. Or much more likely, a sibling with a grudge. It hardly mattered, as The Hero Killer just swatted the boy away with his blade, slashing off the helmet and a pair of glasses.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST All for the Sake of a Correct Society]

The boy landed hard on his side and Stain seemed to be more focused on the newcomer as much as the Figure was right now. The Blood Licker seemed to want nothing to do with the boy, until he noticed something that the Figure could also see. This boy was glaring at him with vengeful eyes, and that caught Stain's attention. He pointed his katana and seemed to give the boy one chance.

The Figure watched, curious if this boy was going to be the next victim. They observed the young hero wannabe as he seemed to become only even more angry at the Villain. Up next did not disappoint the Figure as the boy spoke up, loud enough to be heard by the Figure, now that they were almost fully invested in this encounter. "You listen to me, Criminal." He slowly stood back up as he continued. "I am the brother of an incredible Hero you attacked. He's the best older brother that anyone could hope for. I have come to stop you, because he can't anymore!" The boy's final sentences were almost snarls as his lust for vengeance peaked. "You're going to remember my name for as long as you live! I am Ingenium, and I will defeat you! That I promise!"

Stain's eyes were now completely focused on the younger Ingenium, full of bloodlust and almost disappointment as he said, "Then so be it." Now he marked the boy as a target for his purge. "Die."

Stain no longer cared about his previous victim, because now, he had to put a child, pretending to be a noble Hero in its place.

[Silence]

"FOR TENSEEEIII!" The younger Ingenium roared as he went for an engine powered kick, but the Hero Killer easily evaded the attack.

Stain remembered the name. "Ingenium, so your brothers." He said as he jumped in the air. "I let him live, so he could spread the good word." While in the air he angled his boot and began his counter. "Word of me." He kicked the boy in the shoulder, piercing through the shoulder with one of the spikes on his boot, then used the bottom of his other boot to slam the younger Ingenium's face to the ground.

The young Ingenium turned his head to look at Stain as he abolished the boy. "You're a weakling. Just like he was." The Hero Killer told him before he held his katana in reverse grip and stabbed the boy in his other shoulder, causing him to flinch from the pain. "You aren't Heroes. You have no right to be called that. Both of you are nothing but fakes."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Evil Of Psychology]

As this was happening, The figure could feel another presence close by, but it wasn't a dark presence. They paid it no mind and continued watching the show. They could barely hear the younger Ingenium speak.

"Shut up, Villain." He responded. "You damaged his spine and Paralyzed him from the waist down. He's never gonna be able to work as a Pro Hero again." The figure could only assume that the boy was still talking, but they couldn't hear it from here, then the boy spoke up loud enough for the Figure to hear him once more. "You had no right to take that all away from him!" He was clearly in pain as he could be seen wincing from finally getting whatever shock was out of his system.

The Figure could also barely see tears forming in the boy's eyes, most likely remembering his brother and using those memories to fuel his vengeful drive. "He is my Hero." The younger Ingenium finally spoke again, his voice starting to crack. "My older brother inspired my dream, that one day I could be a pro too!" He was slowly forming a fist as he declared that "I won't forgive you...I'LL KILL YOU!"

Stain then pointed at the still paralyzed Pro he was about to kill earlier and said "Shouldn't you be worried about saving that guy?" The younger Ingenium looked to where The Villain was pointing and finally noticed the Pro. He was too focused on Stain to see the other Hero in danger. Talk about irony. "You're so busy with your grudge, you forgot about him." Stain continued reprimanding the boy. "You planned on using your quirk only for yourself. You're completely blinded by a selfish desire for revenge. You're about as far away from being a Hero as I can imagine." He pulled out his blade, causing the young Ingenium to grunt in pain, and then held the bloody tip in front of his mouth. "Hahhhh. And that's why you'll die tonight." He licked the blood on the tip and now the Younger Ingenium was stuck in place. The Hero Killer once again held his blade in reverse grip and aimed at the boy's throat, saying "Goodbye, child. May your death bring about a better world."

It was now almost visible for the Figure and they were smiling under their hood. To see that much innate bloodlust in one individual, to the point where it can almost be seen physically irradiating off of him. It was quite impressive to the Figure.

"No please. Not like this." The young Ingenium spoke up once more. He wasn't begging for his life though. He just didn't want to die by the same man who almost killed his brother. More tears were starting to form in his eyes and he then yelled out, "SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO ABOUT ME! YOU'RE STILL JUST A CRIMINAL WHO HURT MY BROTHER!"

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST I Don't Need Pretend Friends]

The Figure then noticed something once more. The same presence that he felt from before but chose to ignore had gotten much, much closer. In fact it was right around the corner, just entering the same alleyway that this was taking place. The Figure then recognized who it was. That same Green haired boy who almost killed himself trying to attack Tomura at that U.S.J. place. But now he seemed much more different. He was slightly illuminated and green sparks were coming off of him, but that wasn't the only thing that caught the Figure's attention.

The Green haired boy then pounced from wall to wall in a fast pace and managed to blitz his way toward Stain, catching the Hero Killer off guard and allowing the boy to land a solid punch on his cheek, pushing him away from the Young Ingenium. "Guess I was right!" The kid said out loud. So this guy was either looking for Stain, or his friend. Either way, he found what he was looking for. "Don't you worry Iida. I'm gonna save you." The boy said, standing between The Young Ingenium and Stain.

The two boys seemed to talk for a second, but the green kid didn't take his eyes off the Hero Killer or drop his guard in any way. It was only after the boy the Figure now knew was named Iida said that he couldn't move that the green haired boy looked at his friend. The boy then looked back forward and then noticed the other injured Pro. Unless there was some kind of strength this kid was hiding that didn't break his bones, then the Figure was sure that the boy couldn't carry both of the victims away.

[Silence]

"Midoriya, please." Iida spoke up. "Don't get involved. This doesn't have anything to do with you."

Stain then decided to speak up. "You showed up to save your friend's life." He noted getting the boy the Figure now knew as Midoriya's attention. "You even made a big entrance. 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."

Midoriya ended up slightly reeling back for a second out of impulse. The Figure was once again impressed. The Hero Killer is only speaking and yet the would be Hero is already doubting himself, even after he landed a solid punch a few seconds ago. Then they noticed the boy had something in his hands. Midoriya pressed something and then put it away before Stain could see what happened.

[Play KH DDD OST Sacred Distance]

Back at the Train, Sora had just finished with helping make a cast for someone who got their leg broken from the first attack. While he was helping Bubble Girl treat the injured, Centipeder was making sure that everyone else was safely inside the cars in front of the damaged cars. When this train eventually starts moving again, the Heroes don't want to risk anyone getting left behind if either of the damaged cars detaches.

Sora was checking on an injured unconscious Hero with Bubble Girl and asked. "Did anyone tell you what caused that hole in the wall in this car?"

"One of the passengers said that a lanky grey man ripped it open and a Hero tackled him off of the train." She answered as she was cleaning some of the cuts on the guy's face before sealing them.

"Someone also said something about a short green guy following him down." Centipeder added as he came back. "Presumably it was the other Hero's sidekick."

"Hmm." Sora pondered as he helped Bubble Girl finish patching the guy up. When he got the guy up and lumped him over to a seat in the next car, he came back and felt his gummi phone vibrate for a second. He took it out and saw a message sent by Izuku, but there weren't any words. He opened it up and saw that it was a location. "Huh?"

"What is it?" Centipeder heard Sora.

"My friend Izuku just sent me his location, but didn't say anything." Sora explained. "He's not the type to send a cryptic message."

"Where's this location?" The bug headed Hero asked.

"It looks like an alleyway at...4-2-10 Ekou Street." Sora said, before zooming out of the map and realizing. "Wait...that's in this City!" The boy looked through the hole in the wall and noticed that the chaos wasn't dying down. "He's out there in the fight!"

"He probably got caught up in the chaos and is calling for assistance." Bubble Girl assumed.

Sora was about to comment on that, but then saw something else. "Uh oh." He uttered.

"What now?" Centipeder questioned.

Sora pointed ahead and the other two pros noticed about ten Dustfliers deviation from the chaos and coming in their direction. "I think they know I'm here."

"Bubble Girl, tell the operator of this train to get it moving." Centipeder ordered. "We need to get these people out of here before those creatures show up."

"That's not gonna stop them from following us or cutting us off before we get to the station." Sora told him.

"This is the only thing we can do right now." He told the boy as Bubble Girl was leaving the car and moving towards the front.

Sora stayed silent for a moment and then said "I'll stay here and keep watch. I'll tell you how close they get."

"Good idea." Centipeder agreed as he walked toward the door to the next car, opting to make sure that the civilians were okay.

Bubble Girl got on the intercom and informed them that the Train is good to go right now and then Centipeder then went back to Sora and asked. "How close are they?"

"They'll be here in about 30 seconds." Sora told him. It took almost the same amount of time to get to the front of the car, so the boy knew that this was going to go badly if he didn't do something.

[Play KH3 OST The Corrupted (No Intro)]

While Centipeder was rushing towards the front to tell Bubble Girl to start the train, Sora watched outside and waited for the right moment. The train began to move and then Sora took a deep breath before telling himself, "I'm gonna get in so much trouble." He then summoned Oblivion and got himself ready. "But I'm not the guy who runs away."

The Keyblade wielder went out the hole in the wall and onto the roof, running in the opposite direction of the train and doing his best to keep pace with its acceleration. He then jumped off the back of it and watched it go before he looked at the threat he's about to face.

He used his flowmotion and blitzed onto the back of one of the Dustfliers holding it by the horns on its head. The Heartless was trying to shake the Keyblade wielder off, but he wasn't letting go. This got the attention of the other Dustfliers and they chose to go after Sora instead of chasing the train. They knew he was a threat that needed to be neutralized.

Sora managed to force the Dustflier he was riding to fly back towards the burning buildings by jerking it's head in that direction. Once it was on course, Sora did his best to keep it flying steady, but then he saw a fireball whiz past him and hit the street below. He looked back up and saw a few more coming towards him. The boy thought fast and forced the heartless to fly up and dodge the rest while also making sure that any more wouldn't damage the city.

He then summoned Oblivion and tried to cast a spell, but was interrupted by the Dustflier he was riding, starting to violently shake him around. Sora unsummoned Oblivion and grabbed the other horn and forced it to keep flying straight, but he knew he couldn't just bring all of them back. He needed to thin out the group somehow.

The boy then got an idea and then forced his Dustflier to fly even higher. Once he was high enough he jumped up and summoned the Kingdom Key, slamming the blade onto the Dustflier and sending it down without killing it. He then began to focus and once he had all his targets in sight, he then used Ragnarok and destroyed all the other Dustfliers with a barrage of blasts. He unsummoned the Kingdom Key and was now in a state of free fall. He controlled his descent slightly and managed to get himself right on target.

As the Dustflier he slammed down earlier had finally regained control and stopped itself from falling any further, Sora once again landed on it. It was a hard landing and it forced the heartless down a bit further, making it collide with the corner of a building and start to fall once again. "Whoa whoa whoa!" Sora exclaimed before he ended up landing on the ground. Thankfully, he was on top of the Dustflier as it had slammed into the ground, unintentionally cushioning the Keyblade wielder's landing.

[Play KH3 OST No Time to Think 2 -cutscene-]

Sora summoned Oblivion and finished the Dustflier off before getting up and looking around for a few seconds. He then heard what was most likely some explosions coming from his right. The Keyblade wielder ran around a corner and noticed that he was basically just outside the battle right now. The boy then took out his phone and then cursed his luck. Izuku was in the opposite direction.

Sora had a choice. Either go help Izuku, or help the Pros repel the Heartless. It was a very hard call for him to make, because while Izuku was his friend, he still had a job to do. Sora grit his teeth and put his phone away. "Just give me a little time Izuku." He said as he began running towards the chaos. "I'll get to you before it's too late."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Serious Shiver]

Back at the rooftop, the Figure, who was now leaning on the side of the water tank, observed as Midoriya had managed to land a second blow on stain, but then wasn't moving after he had landed. The boy must have gotten cut and Stain got his blood. While the Figure was expecting Stain to finish off Midoriya, instead he walked away. They were wondering why, but then the Hero Killer spoke up. "There are countless false Heroes around here who're all talk, but I think you're worthy of staying alive." He said as he went back to Iida. "You're different from these two."

At this point, The Figure once again felt a presence that wasn't dark close by and they were very much heading to the alleyway. Once the Figure saw the person, they remembered him from that sports festival. If memory serves him right, this was Shoto Todoroki? He had cut around the corner and was almost at the alleyway.

The Figure then looked back at Stain and saw him aiming his blade at Iida's head. They could also hear Midoriya pleading. "Wait, don't. Stop it!" Stain raised his blade as Midoriya screamed "GET AWAY!"

[Silence]

Shoto just got there in time and blasted fire towards Stain, forcing the Villain to once again move away from Iida. The Blood Licker seemed to say something but The Figure didn't hear what he said.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Nevertheless Go Beyond]

They did hear the fire user speak as he said "Midoriya. You need to give more details in times like this." He held up a device, most likely a phone. That's probably what the green boy had in his hand earlier that the Figure didn't recognize. "I was almost too late to stop this guy." There was fire looming on his left side and the other two kids had noticed this. Midoriya had asked something that the Figure didn't hear, but he could guess it was how he got here. "How'd I get here?" Todoroki said, confirming the Figure's guess. "Good question. Your message took me a while to figure out."

He put the flames out on his left side. "Next time, try to send more than just your specific location." Shoto then positioned himself as he continued speaking. "But you're not really one to send cryptic messages without a reason, are you?" He then froze the floor and Stain once again jumped up to avoid the quirk. The ice began arching up and it held onto all three paralyzed Heroes. Todoroki ran forward as he reassured the group that "Everything's okay. The Pro Heroes will be here any minute!" He blasted fire a few feet above the ice ant towards The Blood Licker again, making the Villain back off more, while the ice holding the three began to melt and let them slide down to the ice user.

Shoto stood in between the three and Stain as he kept speaking. "You're just what they said you were. But you won't be taking any more lives, Hero Killer." He kept his arm ablaze as he got ready to fight, but then Midoriya spoke up.

"Todoroki!" He called out. "You can't let that guy get your blood! I...I think he controls his enemy's actions by swallowing it! That's how he got us!"

"He ingests blood to keep people from moving. That explains the blades." Shoto understood. "All I've got to do is keep my distance."

[Silence]

Stain shut him up by throwing a knife in his direction, grazing the prodigy student's cheek, while at the same time failing to notice Stain throw his katana in the air above him. The Hero Killer blitzed forward and held a knife as he got ready to attack. "You have good friends Ingenium." He started to slash. "Or you DID." The knife didn't hit Todoroki as the flame user made some ice to block the attack. The Hero Killer then looked up and Shoto did as well, getting him to look at the sword and not at the Blood licker.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Hero Killer]

The Villain grabbed the boy by the shirt and pulled his face closer so he could lick the blood off Todoroki's cheek, but the fire user acted fast and ignited his entire left side to make him back off, then make some ice in between the two. Stain jumped up and caught his sword, slashing through the ice in front of him in a single swipe before Shoto made even more to force him away. The boy switched back to fire and aimed for the man but he was too fast, dodging away from the fire. The flame user kept using his left side and tried to hit the Villain with his flames, but nothing was hitting the Hero Killer.

Thanks to the noise The figure didn't hear what, Iida had said, but was able to figure it out when Shoto replied "You're Ingenium now? Strange." He switched to ice and sent a large barrage to cover a portion of the alleyway to try and hit Stain, but the Villain was able to avoid the attack. "The Ingenium I knew before, never had THAT look on his face." Shoto saw Iida's vengeful face and continued talking while he could afford to. "You've got a dark side. Guess my family isn't the only one."

While the Figure was enjoying the show, Stain had slashed through most of the ice and ridiculed the boy for blocking his field of Vision against a faster opponent. Shoto baited him to come get him but was surprised when the Hero Killer managed to throw two blades into his arms, faster than he could react.

Stain jumped over the boy and said "You're good, kid. Unlike him." He was aiming to stab the Pro.

"WATCH OUT!" The ice user yelled as he was holding his left arm, but then the Figure, as well as everyone else, ended up noticing that Midoriya wasn't paralyzed anymore. It was strange, because that kid was the last one to get hit and the other two still looked frozen. Midoriya dragged Stain through the wall until the Blood Licker elbowed him off and went for an attack. "Midoriya, DODGE!" Shoto ordered as a barrage of ice was sent to separate the two.

The green boy rolled to Shoto and caught his bearing before speaking. The Figure listened closely as the boy analyzed that "He swallows a person's blood to freeze them, but I was the one freed first. I've got three different guesses why. His Quirk could be less effective the more people he uses it on. The amount ingested could play into how long it works. Or there could even be a difference based on a person's blood type." Stain glared at the last guess. That had to be it.

That genuinely impressed the Figure as even they only had the first two guesses in their head. But they didn't let that distract them as they listened to the adult hero say "If it's the last one, my blood type is B."

"I'm...type A." Iida said.

"So you've figured it out." Stain congratulated the boy, confirming that it was the last one. "Bravo. Very impressive." Now that the two kids knew how the quirk works, they could either find a way to use it against the Hero Killer, or to stall for more time. There was no way that the two boys were going to be able to carry the other two without being attacked by Stain. The man was too fast, so they had to stay and fight if they wanted to save the Pro and Iida.

[Silence]

Elsewhere in the city. The Pro Heroes were desperately trying to get some kind of leg up against all the creatures attacking them. There were multiple enemies in the air and on the ground, splitting off the Pros and starting to overwhelm them. A Pro with a red mask and white armor was thrown to the ground and groaned in pain before one of the creatures close by went in to finish him off.

A Blizzard spell had stopped the Flame Core before it hit the Pro and put out the fire engulfing it. Then Sora blitzed toward it and finished it off. The Pro looked up and saw who helped him. "What the...who are you?"

"I'm here to help." Sora said.

[Play KH DDD OST Deep Drop]

Some of the Heartless saw Sora and began to go after him, seeing the Keyblade in his hands and marking him as a threat. The boy responded by meeting them head on. He used his flowmotion and latched himself onto a Red Nocturne that was in the center of the group, using that as an object for him to spin and slash the other Red Nocturnes to pieces. He landed and saw a minute bomb pouncing towards him. Acting fast he caught the heartless and then threw it at the four soldiers attempting to charge him, making the minute bomb blow them up with it.

A female Pro with a red scarf ended up seeing Sora's actions and called out to him. "HEY! What are you doing?!"

"Backing you up!" The Keyblade wielder answered as a Heat Saber came in to attack him, only to be parried and countered.

"This isn't some small street fight, kid!" She yelled before she ducked to avoid a Dustflier trying to grab her with its talons. "Get out of here!"

A few Flame Cores came flying out of the burning buildings and went for Sora, causing him to dodge as he told the Pro. "These guys aren't gonna let me, even if I try!" Sora then saw one of the Flame Cores correct it's course and attempt to hit him while he was in the air. The boy then casted another Blizzard spell when the Flame Core was at point black range. Once it was stunned, Sora finished it off and then landed safely on the ground. "Besides, I've fought and beat these guys before!"

Another Pro that seemed to be dressed like a fish was pointing in the direction of the fire and then a stream of water from a broken Fire Hydrant was suddenly flowing in that direction. The man noticed the boy as well and asked, "Where the heck did you come from?!"

Sora didn't have time to answer that question as the Heat Saber from before attacked him again and he was focused on not getting hit by the burning blades. Once he found an opening, he casted another Blizzard and stunned it. He then threw Oblivion straight at it and it cleaved the Heartless' head, making it vanish. He called the blade back and then saw a Dustflier swoop in to try and grab him. He ducked under it and stabbed it in the stomach area with the Keyblade, before pulling it down pushing the sword further in, to finish it off.

A third Pro with Horns on his head had noticed a minute bomb running towards the kid's back and he managed to get to the boy in time, punting the minute bomb in the air for it to explode and not cause any collateral damage. "I don't know who you think you are, but this place is more than dangerous. Get the hell out of here before you get seriously hurt."

Before the Pro could react, he was grabbed by a Dustlifter and slammed into a wall nearby. The Heartless had attempted to blast the Pro in the face with a fireball, but it was taken out by Sora cutting its head off. The boy then held out his hand and retorted. "And what about you guys? If you get hurt, who saves you?" The Pro who was a bit annoyed at that happening, accepted Sora's help and got back up.

"It's still safer for you to get out of here." He said.

"I'm training to be a Hero." Sora responded. "And I was trained to run toward the danger, not away from it."

The female Pro from before ended up dodging a Flame Core charging her and she rolled over to them. She heard what Sora said and retorted. "Weren't you also taught to only do that once you have a license?"

"Report me after this is over!" Sora prioritized. "We gotta take these guys out before this gets worse, right?"

The two reluctantly nodded and the horned Pro said, "Just don't become a liability."

"I won't." Sora reassured them as he joined the fight. The horned Pro tilted his head and rammed into a pair of Soldiers, slamming them to the wall to take them out. The female Pro saw a minute bomb run towards her and when it pounced, the caught it and threw it away from her, letting it blow up some of the concrete, but not anything else.

A group of Scarlet Tangos and a Crimson Jazz were trying to shoot the water directing Pro, but he aimed the water at the group, disorienting some of them. Sora took the opportunity and ran over to them. Once he was there, he jumped in the air and then slashed all the Scarlet Tangos that were in his reach, leaving only three left. The Crimson Jazz summoned a bunch of Mines around the boy and they all closed in on him. However, right when they were about to hit Sora, the boy once again went into Dark Form, thanks to the fighting from before, he was able to get enough energy to go into the form again. Wasting no time, he dispatched the rest of them and then looked around to find his next target.

A pair of Heat Sabers were attacking a pair of Pros with dark blue face covers. One of them seemed to be wounded from the way he held his arm as if to cover a wound. Sora ran over to those two and just when the Heat Sabers saw him, he twirled Oblivion and held it in reverse grip before executing Zantetsuken on the closest one, launching it into the second one and almost killing it in one strike. Sora then casted one more Blizzard spell at the second Heat Saber, stunning it long enough for Sora to get up close and slash it to ribbons.

The boy looked back at the pair and they were dumbstruck. "What the hell?" One of them exclaimed. "Did that kid just save us?" The other wondered aloud, sounding very annoyed.

Before Sora could answer, he saw a Pro with a Yellow suit and a white mask get grabbed and thrown by a Dustflier towards another Pro who was wearing an orange shirt with shoulder pads. The two collided and were recovering from the attack when a few more Dustfliers were coming in to attack the pair. Sora threw Oblivion toward the pair and when the Dustfliers attempted to grab them, Sora put up a dark barrier around them, causing the Heartless to hit the barrier instead. Before they could get far enough away, Sora closed his fist and shattered the barrier, letting the force take out the nearby Dustfliers.

Sora called back Oblivion and the two Pros he just helped out had noticed him too. "Is this kid seriously turning the tide in our favor?" The Pro with shoulder pads noticed.

"You know what they say." Sora stated. "The more people working, the faster stuff gets done."

[Silence]

Sora ended up getting hit hard by a bulky Pro hero in a ski mask getting thrown at him. The two of them hit the corner of a building and were recovering from the attack. When Sora looked towards where that guy came from, he ended up seeing many things he didn't like.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST A Huge One Appears]

There were multiple Defenders as well as Fat Bandits cornering and beating down a few Pros in that area, and they were starting to split off, but what really caught the boy's attention were the two creatures that weren't Heartless, seemingly working with them, and the worst part, was that they both looked a whole lot like that Nomu guy from U.S.J.

Before Sora could react, one of the defenders saw the pair and launched a fireball towards them. The big guy got in front of him and blocked it, but after that, he fell to his knees, exhausted from trying to fight these things. The defender shot another fireball and Sora got in front this time, blocking it with his barrier before turning back to try and help the bulky Pro up.

He couldn't lift the guy and the Defender began to charge at him. Sora put up his barrier once more to try and protect the big guy, but was surprised to see the horned Pro get in the way and barely block the charge. The two Pros that wore the dark blue face covers came to Sora's side and helped him drag the big guy out of the way. Once that was done, the wounded of the two decided to stay with the big guy and out of the way.

As Sora and the other Pro got back, they saw the Defenders and Fat Bandits were spread out and pushing back the Pros once again. The horned pro had his horns stuck in the mouth of that Defender's shield and was being shaken around by the Heartless. The Pro who controlled water was bashed away from the large column of water spewing from a broken fire hydrant, and while that Defender was there, it froze the water with its shield's ice powers, making that guy unable to fight back.

A Fat Bandit was pelting fireballs at the female Pro as she was taking cover behind a destroyed bus. She was about to go on the attack, but when she turned to go on the offensive, the Fat Bandit was right in her face and went to punch her. She barely dodged it and the Heartless hit the bus instead, melting a hole in the vehicle with it's burning fist. A Pro with stretchy arms was also dealing with a Fat Bandit trying to punch him with a burning fist, but the Heartless also missed that punch. When the Pro tried to attack from the front, he didn't harm it at all. The Fat Bandit countered by lunging itself forward and launching the guy back a few yards.

Sora was about to go help him, but he was quickly grabbed by the hair by a Dustflier and picked up. He tried to retaliate, but the Heartless wasn't budging. The boy finally managed to get the thing to let go by stabbing the leg and making it let go. He landed close to those guys that looked like Nomu, and there were a lot of Red Nocturnes, Scarlet Tangos and a few Crimson Jazzes with them. Things just got a whole lot worse for him as another Defender also joined the fray and went after Sora.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Spread Anxiety]

Back with the Villains, The Figure was impressed with how long the two boys were lasting against the Hero Killer. Midoriya was keeping Stain preoccupied with him while Shoto was constantly supporting his ally if the Blood Licker got any chance to attack. However the two didn't last forever, as Stain managed to graze Midoriya's leg before Todoroki could support him in time. Now with one student out of the way, Stain could focus on the flame user. The boy switched to Ice and sent another barrage towards Stain, but this time, the Villain was able to maneuver around a portion of the attack and keep some ground.

While all this was happening, Iida's eyes had changed from vengeful to regretful and he seemed to say something that Shoto didn't take lightly, as the ice user yelled out "You want to make your brother Proud!?" Iida seemed to snap out of his regret while his friend kept speaking. "Then Stand up and be Ingenium." Stain was cutting through the ice and closing the distance quickly. "BECOME THE HERO HE WANTED YOU TO BE!" Todoroki had switched back to fire and ignited his left side once more, reaching his arm out and shooting flames again.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Go Seize It]

Stain had closed the distance and was about to strike, but he as well as the Figure noticed that Iida was no longer paralyzed and he stood up, roaring "RECIPRO BURST!" as he blitzed forward and snapped Stain's katana in two, with his leg, before continuing his attack and spin kicking The Hero Killer away. The Villain had skidded to a halt but noted the sudden burst of speed. He kept his guard up.

"Iida!" Midoriya yelled, sounding relieved at what just happened.

"You're free too?" Shoto realized. "Guess his quirk isn't as great as I thought it was."

"Todoroki...Midoriya..." IIda spoke up. "This has nothing to do with you. I apologize." He didn't look regretful or vengeful anymore. Now he looked angry, but determined as he said "I'm okay. But I won't let the two of you shed any more blood for me."

Either this kid went through the quickest reformation ever, or he's faking it. The Figure didn't care either way and continued to watch. Stain then spoke up once more, looking to be very angry with Iida's words. "It's no use trying to pretend you're a Hero now. A person's true nature doesn't change in just a few minutes. You'll never be anything but a fraud who prioritizes his own desires. You're the sickness that's infected society and ruined the name Hero! Someone must teach you a lesson."

"You're a fundamentalist lunatic." Shoto stated. "IIda, don't Listen to this murderer's nonsense."

"No." Iida responded. "He's completely correct. I have no right to call myself a Hero, at all." Blood was starting to leak from his shoulder and down to his hands as he continued speaking. "Even so, there's no way I can back down. If I give up now, then the name Ingenium will die!"

"PATHETIC!" Stain roared as he heard enough from the young Ingenium, charging towards his target with the intent to completely destroy him. Shoto pulled the engine legged boy behind him and blasted fire towards the Hero Killer again.

"IDIOT!" The adult Pro yelled, still paralyzed. "The Hero Killer is only after me and that kid in the white armor! Stop fighting back! Just get out of here!"

"I don't think he'd let me run even if I wanted to!" The flame user retorted as he looked and found Stain standing on a blade jammed in the wall to avoid the fire. The Villain jumped to the prodigy student's right and the boy didn't miss a beat, switching to ice to attack once more. The Villain landed on an ice stalagmite and pounced off it to slash through another in front of him then another that was being formed.

The Blood Licker stayed on the move, keeping his eyes almost always focused on the Young Ingenium. The flame user switched back to fire and attempted to blast Stain, but still couldn't hit him. The only thing that the boy could do right now was keep the Villain at bay until either backup arrived, or Midoriya got back into the fight.

Iida looked at his legs and seemed to be annoyed at them for a moment, before speaking up. "Hey, Todoroki! Can you regulate your temperatures!"

"Not well with my left, but yes I can!" Shoto answered.

"You've got to freeze my leg for me!" The Young Ingenium requested. "Without plugging the exhausts!"

Stain jumped up and threw a knife towards the flame user. "You're in the way!" He said, sounding pissed.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST I don't Need Pretend Friends]

Iida got in front of Todoroki and took the hit. The knife pierced through his armor and into his arm. "No! Iida!" Midoriya yelled out, leaning forward. The Figure then noted that he was now free as well, but it seems that Stain is too distracted to notice. They also noticed that Midoriya didn't jump back in just yet. He's probably going to wait for the right moment to strike.

"WHY WON'T YOU STAY DOWN!?" Stain yelled as he threw a larger blade into his target's arm.

"Iida!" Shoto stopped his attack.

"JUST DO IT! HURRY!" The blue haired boy ordered.

If this plan works, then the three kids will have just taken down a seasoned Hero Killer, but if Stain gets his head on straight in time, then there will be two more victims and two broken boys. If Stain fails here, then The Figure will be disappointed. All that talk and praise to get beaten by a bunch of people half his age. "You better not disappoint." They quietly said.

Midoriya began to slightly glow once more, getting ready to jump in once more. Todoroki did as his friend requested and freezed IIda's leg, before going back to shooting fire towards Stain, who was dodging the attacks but still charging towards his target. The Young Ingenium used his teeth to pull out the first blade in his arms while he forced himself to his feet, the second blade falling out on its own. His engine legs furiously roared as the boy yelled "RECIPRO EXTEEEEEEEEEND!" Blitzing forward at an impressive speed.

At the same time, Midoria had pounced forward, ready to join in the fray once more. A piece piece of ice had gashed his leg, bit he fought through the pain and blitzed toward Stain at the same speed as Iida, The Hero Killer had finally noticed the boy but it was too late as he got kicked in the ribs by the Young Ingenium and punched square in the face by the Young Hero.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Overflowing Power]

The Figure watched in disappointment as the mighty Hero Killer Stain was bested by three kids. Even if The Blood Licker tires another attack, he'll get taken out by a second combo attack. As if to prove the Figure right, Stain tried his luck while Midoriya had reeled back a slight bit. The Villain attacked Iida, who dodged and then announced that "I will defeat you Stain! Because you are a Criminal!"

"Don't let him get away!" Shoto yelled out as he sent a blast of fire towards Stain once more.

The Young Ingenium reared up and then delivered a second kick to the ribs as he concluded with "AND I AM A HERO!" Stain had really felt that hit as he was starting to bleed from his mouth, before the fire from Todoroki had reached him, beginning to burn the Villain until he finally conceded to his injuries.

Shoto had created an ice ramp to slide the two down to him as he said "Stand up! Keep fighting!" Only after a few seconds did he and the other kids realize that they had managed to defeat the Blood Licker.

[Silence]

Back at the larger battle, Sora was skidding to a halt from being pushed back by a Fat Bandit landing a punch on him. It stung a bit, but he wasn't out of the fight. The Other Pros were caught up in their own fights with the other Fat Bandits, Defenders, Dustfliers, Red Nocturnes, Scarlet Tangos, Crimson Jazzes and that flying Nomu guy. The Pro who controlled water glanced over at Sora and then yelled " KID! WATCH OUT!" Sora heard that and then turned around to see the big Nomu guy throwing a punch right at him, aiming to crush the kid.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Just Another Hero]

He barely managed to get Oblivion in front of him, but he didn't have time to cast a barrier, so the punch hit the sword. Sora felt the full power of that strike and he was forced to one of his knees, struggling to hold the beast back from crushing him. This combined with so many of the Heartless was gonna be impossible for him to turn around on his own.

Suddenly, a fiery fist had slammed into the big Nomu's ribs and forced the creature to skid back, allowing Sora to catch a moment to breathe. The boy saw who did it. It was none other than Endeavor, but before he could say anything the Number 2 Hero spoke up. "So you can regenerate." He said to the big Nomu. "Well then..." He charged towards the creature and clashed with it, placing his hands on his head as he said "Let's see you come back from this." The Flame Hero ignited the head of the big Nomu and kept ramping up his fire until it turned blue, completely destroying the monster's head. "Incinerated cells can't regenerate."

All of the Red Nocturnes decided to shoot the newcomer with some fire blasts, but the Pro dodged and retaliated with a fire blast of his own, only to watch them get rejuvenated by the flames. Slightly irked, Endeavor was about to try something else, but Sora had casted Blizzard to destroy a few of them, before using his flowmotion to speed over there and take out the rest. "The ones that look like bells and the big floating fiery heads are immune to fire!" The boy informed the Number 2 Hero. "The rest can burn though!"

"Understood." Endeavor replied, not caring about who Sora was at the moment, turning around and finding the closest enemy. The first unlucky heartless was a Fat Bandit. It turned towards the Pro and shot out a fireball from its mouth. The Flame Hero easily dodged and threw a fireball into the Heartless' mouth. It felt its mouth burning as it covered it in response to the attack connecting. While it was preoccupied, Endeavor got up close and punched it square in the stomach, but there was no effect. The Fat Bandit opened its mouth and was about to retaliate, but the Pro jammed his fist in its mouth and then let loose, burning the heartless from the inside, until it disappeared from too much damage.

Sora used his flowmotion to blitz towards the Scarlet Tangos, he elected to save his magic for the bigger threats for now and just went to town on the small Heartless, slashing many to pieces and pursuing any that attempted to get away.

Endeavor had noticed that some of the Pros couldn't do anything and then spoke up. "Any Hero who's quirk isn't suited for this, go help on Ekou Street on District Four!"

"Another Villain?" One of the Pros assumed.

"I don't know. Just do it!" he ordered as he went back into the fight.

Sora was about to speak up, but he was grabbed by a Dustflier and was about to be thrown to the floor. Thankfully, Endeavor saw this and destroyed the Heartless with a fireball, letting the boy land back on the ground uninjured. Once that was dealt with the Number 2 hero spoke up once more to him. "Once you've finished taking out the fire proof ones..."

"Ekou Street!" Sora finished. "Got it!" The boy went back to the action.

Endeavor went back to the fight as well and was now attacking a Defender. He easily got around the shield and was able to attack it from the back. When the creature violently turned its body to retaliate, it also released ice from its shield to try and freeze the Pro, but all it did was melt on contact and slightly cool the man off. The Number 2 Hero then pulled on the shield and forced the Defender to stumble forward into the Hero's fist, as he forced the creature's face to the ground, crushing its head and making it disappear.

Sora had blitzed over to the Flame Cores and began using the rest of the magic he had left, casting multiple Blizzard spells in rapid succession, killing almost all of the Flame Cores from the Barrage. The rest of them enveloped themselves in fire and began charging the boy, but he jumped, flipped, and ducked around every attempt to burn the Keyblade wielder. Once they were exhausted Sora finished them off.

A Dustflier had attempted to shoot Endeavor from the air, but the Flame hero countered and took it out with a fireball. A second one attempted to dive bomb him, but he avoided the attack and grabbed the Heartless by its legs and slammed it to the ground. He was about to finish it off but a Fat Bandit had gotten close and attempted to hit the Pro with a fiery punch. The Pro decided to multitask by using the Dustflier to block the attack, finishing the creature off as The Flame Hero got behind the Fat Bandit to punch it hard enough to make it fall on its stomach. He then burnt its body until it faded to nothing. Endeavor then noticed the fish looking Pro nearby some frozen water and the Number 2 Hero blasted the ice away and let the other Pro use the water to put out the fires in the buildings.

Sora got to the Crimson Jazzes and once again used his physical strength to kill most of them, but the few that got away were giving him trouble as they were setting mines everywhere. With well timed barriers and flowmotion, he was able to finish off the last of the fire proof enemies. He was about to head toward Ekoh Street, but then he saw that the rest of the Heartless were in his way.

"GRAAAH!" Sora had it with them at this point and charged his focus as much as he could. This would definitely use up the rest of his time in Dark Form, but he really needed to get to his friend. A bright blue vortex of fire was made as he yelled out "DARK DIVIDE!" casting out a barrage of dark fireballs that annihilated the Fat Bandits. "SALVO!" Once more a barrage came and took out the Defenders. "One more!" He announced as the final barrage took out the rest of the Dustfliers.

Sora had reverted once more and looked around, seeing the fish guy putting out the fire and the other injured Pros coming too. All that was left was that Flying Nomu, but Sora saw Endeavor was already on it, so he decided to let the Flame hero handle that guy. He took out his phone and started running as fast as he could to Ekoh Street.

[Silence]

Back at the alleyway Stain was tied up and the adult Pro was finally free from the paralysis. He elected to carry Midoriya since the boy hurt his legs, and Shoto had begun dragging Stain out of the alleyway while Iida followed. The Figure watched, still disappointed in the Hero Killer for making the mistakes he did. As the four of them exited the alleyway someone else entered the fray. It looked like an elderly man in a Hero costume.

"What are YOU doing here boy!?" The elderly yelled as he then flash stepped toward Midoriya and continued yelling "I thought I told you to stay on the bullet train!"

Thanks to the noise drastically dying down as the fight was basically over The Figure could hear the group clearly at this distance. They learned that the elderly was named Gran Torino and that he was told to come here by someone else. The Figure was almost certain that Todoroki had bluffed about more people showing up, since nobody else did show, but it seems this guy was just late to the party.

As if on cue, five more people showed up as they were also requested to come here. These guys really were late to the party. Talk about unreliable. The five of them also realized that the Hero Killer was there as well. The man holding Midoriya had put him down and made sure he could stand before working with the other Pros.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Can't Look in the Eyes of Serenity]

"HEEEEEEY! IZUKUUUUUUUUU!" A very familiar voice shouted as the Pros and the kids looked to see who said that. It was Sora, running as fast as he could, breaking right in front of the three students and then taking a few seconds to breath. "I came as fast as I could. What happened?"

"Huh?" Midoriya replied. "Wait, you were here too Sora?"

"My internship had me and some Pros come here so I could learn about investigations by being in one." Sora explained. "But nevermind me. What was so crazy that you sent me your location and nothing else? And why are you so cut up and bleeding?!"

"Oh, that." Izuku remembered. "Well, Iida, Todoroki and I...had a close encounter." He pointed at the man tied up and Sora saw who it was.

"Is that..." Sora started.

"Yeah." Midoriya answered.

"Did you three..." Sora started again.

"Yes." Shoto answered.

Sora looked back at the Hero Killer and replied with "Wow...that's...that's actually really amazing. Wow." He was both surprised and kind of awe struck that his friends managed to do that. Sure, Sora has done much crazier, but these guys aren't him, and Stain lived up to his title of Hero Killer. So yeah, that would be very impressive for the boy.

Then Sora ended up noticing Iida in the back and he spoke up. "Tenya."

"Sora." Iida barely replied back.

"Glad to see you're in one piece." The Keyblade wielder said. "You had me worried when you didn't respond to me for the past few days."

When Tenya heard that, he ended up walking forward and then bowing his head. "You guys." He started. "You were all worried about my wellbeing and two of you got hurt...because of me. I'm truly sorry." Iida was starting to tear up as he continued. "I was just so angry...I couldn't...see anything else."

Midoriya replied first and said "I'm sorry too Iida. You were going through so much by yourself. But I couldn't tell anything was wrong...even though I'm your friend."

Shoto then spoke next, saying "Hey, pull yourself together. You're the Class Rep."

Tenya started to wipe his tears as he replied "Right."

Sora then talked to Iida next. "Yeah, and our friend." He started. "Besides, you think I'm gonna just sit back and pretend nothing's wrong when you suddenly start acting weird? Also, you promised to have a talk with me when we saw each other again."

Iida looked back at the three and realized what good friends he had. There was no way that he was ever going to allow himself to let this happen again. Not only to fulfil his dream, but to also keep his friends out of any more unnecessary harm.

[Silence]

The Figure had stood up, starting to get bored. The mushy mushy sentiment is something that they can live without, but then they noticed something coming rather quickly and then decided to once again watch.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Enemy Strike]

The winged Nomu had managed to survive Endeavor's attack and was now blitzing toward the group at a very alarming speed. The only one who managed to see it coming was Gran Torino who yelled out "GET DOWN!" The other Pros and the U.A. Students heard him, but it was too late, as the Nomu was right there. The Female Pro ended up noticing it as well but couldn't stop it from grabbing Izuku and immediately flying away.

Sora had jumped towards his friend and reached out, but just barely couldn't grab Midoriya, as he fell and stumbled to the floor a few yards in front of the group. Some blood fell off of the Nomu and onto the Female Pro's cheek. Sora had pushed himself up and was about to try again, but the force of the air from the Nomu's wings flapping made it almost impossible for Sora to try anything other than flowmotion. He started to focus and then,

All of a sudden the Nomu had just stopped moving and it began to fall. Sora once again was about to go after Izuku, but then another person blitzed past him. It was Stain as he preached "The word Hero has lost all meaning in this society!" The man cut himself loose with a hidden knife and then pounced onto the Nomu's back. "The world is overrun with fakes and criminals like you who chase petty dreams!" The Hero Killer stabbed the monster in the head and held Midoriya as the Nomu crashed to the ground.

[Silence]

"You must all be purged." Stain concluded as Izuku looked up in absolute shock and terror at who was holding him right now. But the man continued to speak.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST All for the Sake of a Correct Society]

"Ahhhhhhhh. Everything that I do..." The Hero Killer ripped the blade out of the head of the Nomu. "...is to create a stronger society."

Sora was starting to see why this guy was feared by many people. The aura he was giving off was so...intimidating. It was like Vanitas back in Monstropolis.

On the rooftop Shigaraki was pissed and the Figure could easily tell. "Hey hey hey, WHAT THE HELL!" He snarled. "This is no fair! Why'd he have to go and kill that Nomu?! And why is that brat here?" He dropped the binoculars that Kurogiri gave him to watch as he continued to rant. "I'M SO MAD I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY! This is a mess!" He then started scratching again. "Why do things never go the way I want them to?"

Back on the ground, everyone was still processing what was going on. Sora had slowly gotten up, and he heard the Pro Heroes behind him discussing what just happened and to be on their guard.

"Why are you all just standing around like fools?" Another voice spoke up as the Pros looked back to see Endeavor running towards them. "The villain must have flown this way, right?"

"You took care of the rest?" One of the Pros asked.

"Mostly. Thing's got a little rough at the end." The Number 2 Hero then saw Stain. "Hold on… Don't tell me that's..." The Flame Hero started to grin with excitement when he saw the Villain.

Stain however had just the opposite expression as he slowly turned his head and saw "Endeavor..." The bandanna covering his eyes was slowly coming off.

"HERO KILLER!" The Flame Hero had ignited his fist and was ready to go.

"WAIT, TODOROKI!" Gran Torino ordered, causing the Number 2 Hero to stop and see Sora and Izuku in the way.

The Blood Licker had slowly forced himself up and turned around, his white bandana falling off of his face to reveal that his nose was gone, but that wasn't what people were paying attention too.

"You false Hero!" The man said as his bloodlust was almost visible to everyone. Many of the Pros and Shoto were petrified. "I'll make this right." He stepped forward, starting to look like a monster to everyone. Iida was now petrified as well. "These streets...must run with the blood of hypocrites." He took another step forward, snarling and petrifying Gran Torino. "HERO! I WILL RECLAIM THAT WORD!" He took another step forward, standing a few yards in front of Sora, who stumbled backwards out of impulse. "COME ON! JUST TRY AND STOP ME YOU FAKES!"

He felt like an unstoppable force of nature when he said that, and it petrified Endeavor. "There is only one man I'll let kill me. He is a true hero!...ALL MIGHT IS WORTHY!" Stains malefic aura was now visible to everyone that was afraid, almost feeling his drive completely take away all of theirs.

[Silence]

Sora felt completely trapped in The Hero Killer's aura. It really was just like Vanitas. The boy extended his arm next to him, but nothing formed in his hand. The Keyblade wielder quickly looked and saw that was the case and looked even more scared. This man was so terrifying, his heart was so strong and resolute, that at this very moment, Sora couldn't call the Keyblade to defend himself. The boy was petrified.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Anguish of The Quirkless]

Everyone heard a metal clang and all of a sudden, the aura was gone. Everyone snapped out of their trances and looked to see that Stain...dropped his knife. He stood there, motionless, like a statue. Endeavor was the first one to speak. "I think...he's...out cold."

Sora looked at his hand and noticed that it was still trembling. He held it up and waited. After a few seconds of nothing, Oblivion had slowly manifested once Sora was calm enough. The boy slowly edged his way over to Stain, keeping a tight grip on his blade and his eyes glued to the man, before walking around the man and picking up Izuku with his free arm. The two then started to head toward the group as they were starting to calm their nerves.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Master Criminal]

Now, the Figure was mad, but they didn't show any visible sign of it. Stain did so well, only to choke at the end. But then the Figure felt something, and looked around the water tank to see a news helicopter hovering closeby. They chose to remain hidden behind the tank, as to stay anonymous, but on top of the water tank, the other two League members either didn't notice or care.

Shigaraki looked at the dead Nomus with his binoculars, before decaying them. "We're leaving." He growled.

"Are you satisfied with the results, Tomura Shigaraki?" Kurogiri asked.

"Depends on tomorrow's headlines, moron." Tomura said as he left.

The Purple Villain was about to do the same, until he heard a bang on the water tank and looked down to the Figure. "What about you?"

"Warp yourself next to me and out of that news copter's sight." The Figure requested.

Though Kurogiri didn't understand why he shouldn't just climb down, he did as requested and warped next to his anonymous ally. "What is it?"

The figure summoned their blade. "How small can you make your portals?"

[Silence]

Sora had just walked past Stain with Izuku in tow, still holding Oblivion tightly as he did. The Keyblade wielder was very unsure if he should drop his guard until the Villain was put in a brace like the one used for Nomu. He looked at his friend and asked. "You're still ok, right?"

"Yeah." Was all Midoriya could say. He was still recovering from what just happened.

[Play KH BBS OST Shaded Truths]

While everyone was still recovering, they failed to notice a small purple vortex appear in front of the Hero Killer's body. Out of the vortex something had made contact with Stain's chest.

Back on the roof, The figure had just thrusted the tip of their blade through the vortex and was then forming a pitch black orb in their free hand. Once it was finished, they pulled the blade out and then jammed the dark orb through.

The dark orb sunk into the unconscious Blood Licker, causing him to shiver in response to this thing entering his body. His irises were visible once more and they had a very blank expression. The man was quick and picked up the blade that was dropped earlier, before sprinting towards the closest person.

After helping Iida up, Shoto looked back toward his friends and then saw Stain sprinting towards Sora. "SORA! BEHIND YOU!" He yelled.

Sora heard that and turned around to see The Hero Killer with his knife raised. Sora pushed Izuku off of him and towards the others before raising Oblivion and barely blocking the attack. Stain wasn't out of the count just yet.

The unnamed Pros ran forward. Gran Torino flash stepped to get Midoriya out of there and when the other students attempted to run in, Endeavor had pulled them back, ordering the two to stay put. Gran Torino placed Izuku down next to the two boys and was ready to jump back into the fight.

The figure had noticed this from the rooftop and then their left hand began to faintly protrude darkness. They clenched their fist and then watched.

Darkness bursted out of Stains body, creating a small opaque purple dome that rapidly expanded, encompassing himself, Sora, and the unnamed Pros, who flinched at the dome encompassing them, before ceasing its expansion any further. Endeavor and Gran Torino attempted to run in, but when they made contact with the dome, it pushed them back a few feet.

The three students didn't see it back at U.S.J. but they remembered hearing about a dome that looked exactly like this one back during the villain attack that trapped Sora, Ejiro and Katsuki. They realized that Sora was trapped in there with Stain.

[Silence]

On the rooftop, Kurogiri had watched as the Figure had set the stage. "If I may ask, what is it you exactly did to the Hero Killer?"

"I used my weapon to get into contact with his heart." The Figure stated. "Then I manifested some of my darkness and planted it inside of him, to corrupt him." They held their left hand and it had a slight red glow while pitch black aura was swirling around it. "And since it's my darkness inside him, I can command his body so long as it's in there."

"I take it, that will be all then." Kurogiri assumed.

"Not yet." They said, looking at the alleyway where Stain was dragged out of. "I just need one more favor."

[Play KH BBS OST Extreme Encounters]

The Pro Heroes inside the dome once again started running towards Sora, and Stain had noticed this. The Villain skidded his knife toward the teeth of Oblivion and then with the boosted strength and speed he was given managed to force the Keyblade out of Sora's hands before jumping and spin kicking the boy in the side of the head with the heel of his boot, launching Sora away a good distance.

The indian dressed Pro ran to Sora while the other five kept running towards the Hero Killer. Stain pounced forward and landed right in front of the armored Pro with a red helmet, dodging the Pro's attempted attack and jamming his knife to the side of his throat, then pulling it out and kicking him to the Pro with grey hair and goggles.

After that he quickly slashed the Pro with a Yellow suit, cutting the mask before spinning around him to stab the Pro in the back of his leg, forcing him down so the Villain could then kick him in the face with his spiked boot to knock him out of the fight. The Blood Licker then chose his next target.

The Female Pro had her guard up as Stain dashed to her next, since she was the closest. He feigned an attack towards her face, making her cover it with her arms, allowing the Hero Killer to stab her in the stomach and then jerk his knife to the side, cutting a portion of her open as she screamed in pain, falling to the floor and pressing her hands where the wound was.

The Pro with an abstract face was too focused on seeing the female Pro injured that he didn't see the Villain coming, allowing him to stab the Pro in one of his knees, then yank out the blade and stab the other when the Pro stepped back as a response to the pain he was feeling. The Hero Killer was going to try and finish the Pro off, but heard footsteps rapidly approaching from behind.

Stain turned around and saw the grey haired Pro with goggles jump into the air and go for a drop kick. The Blood Licker put his guard up and took the attack easily. The Pro flipped in the air and landed on his feet before closing the distance and going to punch Stain. The Hero Killer easily dodged the first punch, then the second and third and fourth, before countering with a punch of his own to the nose, making the Pro cover it in response to being hit so hard for blood to leak from it. Stain saw some of the Pro's blood on his fist and licked it, paralyzing the man and giving the Hero Killer a free kill.

After checking on Sora and seeing that he was okay, the indian dressed Hero attempted to stop Stain from attacking the paralyzed Pro, but the Hero Killer saw him coming and threw his knife into the Pro's chest, hitting the same cut he made before, allowing the knife to go deeper in the Pro's wound. He fell on his back and was having trouble breathing. Stain then got to the grey haired goggle wearing Pro from before and used his hands to snap the man's neck, letting the Pro drop to the floor after he did that.

A purple vortex had appeared in front of Stain and out of it came the weapons he was stripped of back in the alleyway. Since nobody was getting up right now, he started reequipping himself, putting the knives in their proper holders and hidden blades in their proper hiding spots. Then he saw someone getting back up.

Sora was slowly getting himself back on his feet but then stumbled back onto one knee. That kick was really hard, and since it hit his head, it messed with him for a bit. Once he finally recovered, he noticed that all the Pros around him were bleeding and on the ground. He then saw the man responsible for this slowly walking towards him.

He began to tremble once more but he saw Oblivion and extended his arm toward the weapon, only for it to do nothing. Sora's eyes widened. "Nonononono not again. Not right now." He thought as he tried to call it to him only for it to once again do nothing and stay where it was.

The Hero Killer was getting closer and Sora tried to move but stumbled to his hands and knees. He still hadn't recovered from the kick and was now realizing that he wasn't moving any time soon. He reached out his hand towards Oblivion one more time and silently pleaded for the weapon to appear in his hand but still nothing.

"Child." Stain's voice was heard as Sora looked up and then saw the Hero Killer right in front of him. The Keyblade wielder pushed himself up, but then stumbled back and landed on his rear as he kept his upper body up with one arm. The Villain looked at the boy as if he were judging him.

[Silence]

Sora was understandably intimidated by the Hero Killer. He was currently unarmed and unable to stand at the moment, while everyone else was out of commission. He couldn't call his Keyblade to defend himself and he was at the mercy of a very much insane individual.

"You were the first and only one to jump after your friend." Stain said. "Even when you failed, you were prepared to try again, regardless of the danger." He sounded calm as he spoke, completely different from before. "You also threw him out of harm's way when I attacked you. You put others before yourself. You're on the right path to becoming a true Hero."

Sora didn't know what was going on now. He thought that the Villain was going to attack him, but instead he's praising him for his actions. He finally stopped feeling dizzy, but he didn't dare move, not wanting to risk getting cut up.

"You as well as the boy in green and the one with a scar each have a chance of becoming true Heroes, and are worthy of staying alive." Stain stated, as Sora realized he was talking about Midoriya and Todoroki. "The rest of the people here are nothing but pretenders who I will remove from this world." The Hero Killer looked Sora in the eyes and said "And if you get in my way, I will not hesitate to harm you again."

Sora then realized something. Stain only said that he, Izuku, and Shoto were going to be spared. Tenya wasn't included at all. And considering what happened a moment ago, there was no reason to believe that Stain wouldn't kill him if given the chance. The boy couldn't let that happen at all. It didn't matter if he was scared, or hurt, or unarmed, he wasn't going to let this man hurt his friend.

[Play KH BBS OST Beyond The Door]

Sora struggled for a moment as he forced himself back onto his feet, fighting his fear as he stood up in front of the Hero Killer, looking him in the eyes and saying, "My name...is Sora. A Hero in training." He clenched his fists and continued speaking. "I was taught to use my power to protect everyone I can from anything that tried to do no good." His eyes were no longer displaying fear as determination took its place. "You have attacked, hurt, and threatened so many people, including my friends." He straightened himself and then told Stain "To run away or give up now would be to throw away who I am." He extended his right arm and pointed at Stain. "So I'm not going anywhere, until you're defeated and locked up."

Something in his left pocket began to glow and then a light bright enough to force Stain to cover his eyes emitted from Sora's hand as a Keyblade began to form. As this was happening, he was starting to feel rejuvenated, even feeling a bit lighter on his feet. The light subsided and in Sora's hands, Two Become One was formed. He hadn't seen this Keyblade in a while, but he didn't let this reunion distract him as he got into his signature battle stance, ready to fight and defeat the Hero Killer "You won't kill, hurt, or threaten anyone else after today."

Stain uncovered his eyes and saw the boy was now armed and willing to fight. While this wasn't the time, the Villain couldn't help but smile, proud that a third person in this world was willing to stand against all odds and fight him. He slowly drew two blades and got in a battle stance.

[Silence]

Outside the dome, a blue skinned woman and a big bug wearing a suit showed up asking about Sora. The three students had told them that he was trapped in the dome with the Hero Killer and Endeavor as well as Gran Torino were still trying to either get in or break the thing, but the dome held strong. Everyone could see Sora getting ready to fight him alone and they were all worried that he might be next.

Meanwhile on the roof, The Figure was watching this by themself, as Kurogiri had left after warping Stain's weapons in the dome. They didn't recognize the Keyblade that was in Sora's hands, but if it was anything like the other times he got a new blade, then the power gap between him and The Figure just got smaller, which means that they have to remain anonymous for a little longer. The matchup however was still intriguing. A rejuvenated and newly equipped Sora vs a dark powered Stain. "I doubt this will be boring." They said.

The Hero Killer pounced forward to go on the attack, and Sora dodged out of the way, but Stain threw one of his knives in the boy's direction. The Keyblade wielder swatted the knife away with Two Become One and then dashed towards Stain, slashing at him a few times only for the man to dodge and defend every attack. The Hero Killer thrusted one of his knives forward and made Sora back off, before the Blood Licker tossed a blade in the air above the boy and once again threw a knife towards him.

Sora swatted the second one away, but only just noticed the first blade falling towards him as he barely avoided being cut in the cheek by leaning back. Stain ran up and took advantage of the Keyblade wielder's situation as he slashed for the face once again, causing Sora to lean back even more. The boy spun his blade to reverse grip and stopped himself from falling back.

The Villain once again took advantage of the situation and tried to cut Sora's leg, but the boy activated his flowmotion and blitzed to the closest part of the dome before blitzing back and attempting to strike the Hero Killer. The man parried the rush with the two blades in his hands, but they were shattered afterwards. The Keyblade wielder recovered from the parry and swung at Stain once more, grazing his hair as he ducked under the sword and drew two more blades.

The Hero Killer tried to slash Sora with both blades at once, but the boy jumped over the attack and then slashed downward toward Stain, who quickly let go of the two knives in his hands, kneeled back and then drew and threw two more blades at the Keyblade wielder, who then swatted them away with Two Become One. Sora slashed down toward the Blood Licker again, but he rolled out of the way to avoid getting hit.

Stain tried to kick Sora with his spiked boot, but the boy put his Keyblade in the way and broke some of the spikes on the boot. Sora then tried to attack the leg but the Hero Killer threw another blade that Sora was forced to parry. Stain rolled back a bit before getting back on his feet, but Sora closed the distance with flowmotion and caught the man off guard as he barely had enough time to break another knife parrying the attack.

Sora spun his body around, using the momentum to correct his course again and try to strike Stain in the stomach, but was caught off guard by a hidden blade under the Hero Killer's wristband. He almost felt it on his cheek, but he once again used flowmotion to retreat before getting hit. Instead of coming back however, Sora quickly casted a Fire spell.

Stain dodged it but then saw it circle around to try and hit him again. The man then turned around to see three more fireballs being fired towards him. The Hero Killer dodged two of them and threw a blade at the last one, before taking out another blade and throwing it at the first one. He was focused on the fireballs and didn't notice Sora coming at him until the boy was close enough to attack.

The Keyblade wielder slashed at one of the knives in his hand, breaking it as he then dashed back before the two fireballs closed in. The Blood Licker ducked and spun his body to avoid the fireballs and throw another knife to get rid of one. Sora dashed back in and tried to take advantage of Stain's opening, but the man went for a kick, forcing Sora to block it and break some spikes on his other boot.

Stain pulled out another knife and then threw it toward the boy's foot, making him jump back to avoid it and allow the Hero Killer to recover. The man then threw one more knife at the last fireball to get rid of it, before throwing the last two he had on at Sora that he parried. The Hero Killer took a blade from the ground and blitzed toward the Keyblade wielder, going for another attack, but Sora parried that as well, breaking the knife in his hand.

Stain jumped up and took the two that Sora parried earlier, slashing downwards with both blades, but Sora once again destroyed the blades with a well placed block. Stain dashed back and grabbed two more knives on the ground and attacked Sora with a barrage of slashes, that the boy carefully dodged before timing a pair of blocks that broke the blades in The Blood Licker's hands.

The keyblade wielder executed a barrage of his own slashes, that the Hero Killer had to carefully avoid. Once he found an opening, he shoved Sora back and then rolled over to another knife on the ground and picked it up, only to watch it shatter in his hands as Two Become One was thrown at it, before being called back by its wielder and then thrown again at the Villain.

Stain dodged and got another two knives off the ground, throwing one at Sora, who called back his sword and broke the knife with a parry, then throwing the second blade after the boy casted another Fire spell. Sora used his flowmotion to close the distance once more and attack, but was once again shoved away when Stain found an opening.

The Hero Killer managed to roll and grab the last knife he had, before Sora ran up and tried to attack. Stain feigned an assault toward the sword with his knife and then dropped the blade before it made contact and kicked the boy in the stomach, making him back off and hit the side of the dome while the Blood Licker caught his knife and blitzed forward, aiming for the hand that had the Keyblade.

Sora couldn't block this in time and he was stuck against the side of the dome, so he had to take a gamble. He waited for the right time and just when the blade was about to make contact, he unsummoned Two Become One from his right hand. The knife pierced his hand and Stain was completely focused on that. He was about to pull the knife out, but then he felt something piercing his chest.

[Silence]

Two Become One was in Sora's left hand and was thrusted into the Villain's chest, a light emanating from the tip as the darkness that enveloped Stain had dissipated. The Keyblade wielder pulled his weapon back and kneeled down on one knee, gripping his wrist and biting his lip from the pain he was feeling. The Hero Killer collapsed and then the dark dome began to dissipate.

[Play KH3 OST Final World]

Sora saw Bubble Girl, Centipeder, Izuku, Shoto, and Tenya all running straight towards him, but the boy had other priorities as he yelled out "Help out the other Heroes first!" He gestured toward the downed bleeding Pros. "They're hurt way worse than me!" The sidekicks of Sir looked to see that the boy was right about that and they each went to help a different person. Bubble Girl went to the female Pro and Centipeder went to the Pro with armor and a red mask.

The three students had gotten to Sora and were very much concerned about the knife in his hand, but the boy told them that they'll take care of it after the other Heroes are patched up. Since the Keyblade wielder knew how to treat most of these wounds, and since he couldn't treat them himself right now, the boy instructed his friends on how to patch up some of the wounds. Iida was patching up the hole in the indian themed Pro, Izuku was being instructed on how to wrap the abstract faced Pro's knee wounds, and Shoto was doing the same for the Pro in the yellow suit.

Thanks to everyone prioritizing those wounded, four of the six were able to be saved. Unfortunately, the Pro in armor and red mask and the Pro with grey hair and goggles were dead. As Gran Torino was reporting this to the police on his phone, Centipeder had used his limbs to restrain the unconscious Hero Killer while Endeavor stayed close, keeping an eye on the Villain.

Izuku, Shoto and Tenya were helping the wounded Pros get off the street and on the sidewalk. Meanwhile, Bubble Girl had walked over to Sora and looked at his injury. The boy decided to be the first one to speak as he commented "It's nice to see you again."

"You've got a whole lot explaining to do." She sternly told him as she carefully removed the blade and began bandaging up his wound. Once she finished though, she smiled and then said "But yeah. It's nice to see you in one piece too. More or less."

I bet you all thought that you were gonna have to wait another month before seeing this chapter. I bet you all thought that! Well guess what, when I finished the last chapter I thought to myself "I don't want to stop yet." so I started writing this chapter, then I stopped and realized "I still don't want to stop yet." so I wrote a little more, then I stopped again and realized "I still don't want to stop." And then I wrote a lot more. Then I realized "I just can't stop here." and then I finished it. This is over 30 dang pages of me just not wanting to stop writing, with more than double the words of my previous chapters, and now here we are. The entire battle at Hosu was covered as well as some extra. The boys still got their personal Stain fight, Sora helped the Pros fight off the Heartless and even backed up Endeavor by taking out all the fire proof ones and others. Sora also now has Two Become One and he managed to defeat a dark powered Stain by himself. Lastly, Sora is putting that medical training to use. Now that Hosu is dealt with, up next is the aftermath and then finishing up the internships. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and until I decide to upload again. ;)
