I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR, I AM NOT GOING OFF THE MANGA AT ALL. SO THERE WILL MOST LIKELY BE NO INTERACTIONS WITH OVERHAUL, WHO IS GOING TO BE IN SEASON 4. AS SEEN IN THE SEASON 4 TRAILER. THIS STORY IS ONLY BASED ON THE STORY LINE I HAVE COME UP WITH. I DON'T PLAN ON MAKING THIS FANFICTION WITH THOSE CHARACTERS BUT I PROBABLY WILL MAKE ANOTHER WITH THEM.
Narrow brick lined alleys. Blood stained walls. Lives lost. Number after number and body after body found.
144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150.
Seven new victims of Zero. Usually, there was nothing to be found that would help uncover Zero's identity but this time, there were pieces of evidence left behind by Zero himself to help find him out. It was strange. No villain had ever lead heros on to help figure out who they really were. It was underheard of.
Zero was strange, he was different than most villains. Despite the fact he was 18, he was more level headed in situations than most adults ever are in their lifetime.
His age is one of the facts he had left behind about himself.
He had left behind 4 numbers.
18
15
7
3
The last three numbers didn't make much sense. Using the evidence they had the police and pro heros were attempting to make sense of it.
So instead of a normal hero course class, today the students were given the information from the crimes and were asked to help.
However, they really didn't get anywhere with the information.
When the time came to leave everyone walked to their dorms. Some of the students decided to get snacks and drinks for everyone as they sat down to talk. Water, lemonade, soda, chips, mini sandwiches.
The first one to take a drink was Kaminari, followed by Asui and Jiro.
A few minutes after the conversation began Kaminari stood up complaining of an upset stomach and blamed it on the junk food he had eaten earlier. He walked away towards a restroom and suddenly collapsed.
Everyone stood up in an instant. However, Asui and Jiro stood holding themselves up on the chairs before collapsing themselves.
Iida immediately called for help while Yaoyorozu and Uraraka checked their pulses and breathing. Their pulses fast and breathing unsteady, their bodies burning up.
When help arrived the three were immediately taken to a hospital. Blood tests were taken and it was found that all three of them had a great amount of an unknown poison in their bloodstream.
No one knew how long the effects would last or if it was fatal. But from what the doctors could say they weren't going to wake up for a while. So after a few hours, everyone worried, they went back to the dorm.
Only... Something had happened to it.
When the person in the front opened the doors the came to a halt. What they were seeing was terrifying.
Three bodies lie dead across the floor. Blood splattered over the walls and windows. A mother, father, and son. Each with a knife right through their skull.
151, 152, 153.
An innocent family had been murdered in their absence... Their friend's lives just a distraction.
It made them sick.
Finally, someone reaches in their pocket to call for help only to have their phone destroyed.
A knife flew effortlessly through the phone as it shattered and the knife went into the floor.
"I wouldn't if I were you."
Everyone looked to the corner of the room where the boy sat on the inner ledge between the two windows near the corner.
The boy jumped down only to have Todoroki freeze him in his place.
"You're overconfident, arrogant," Todoroki claimed.
The boy laughed, "Maybe I am, maybe not, who knows!? But..."
In one moment the boy was free of the ice and directly behind Todoroki with a knife to his throat.
"I think you're overconfident."
Todoroki froze in place before the boy took the knife away from his throat giving Todoroki the chance the send his ice back at him.
The boy just stood there as his body was surrounded in ice just leaving his head.
"Tell us who you are you sick bastard!" Todoroki yelled sounding like Bakugo for a moment.
"Stop copying the hot-tempered blond and you can find out for yourself," Todoroki watched as he said this, the boy's eyes smiling.
Todoroki walked up to the boy and reached out his hand to pull back his hood.
His nerves getting to him before he finally grabbed the fabric and pulled it back.
Messy black hair. Sleek and as dark as midnight. You could see his eyes better without the hood. His mask still covering his face.
Finally, Todoroki pulled the mask right off the boy's face. Everyone froze.
A sadistic smile across his face as they all learned his identity.
In a room wreaking of blood. The boy stood there frozen in ice. Smiling with eyes full of pleasure.
"It... it is you..." Uraraka fell to the ground.
The bot suddenly broke free of the ice as someone opened the door. The boy in a burst of speed ran past whoever opened the door, making it unable to see their appearance.
"What happened-" All Might have been the one to walk in, covering his mouth at the sight of what he had seen.
"He... It's him... Zero was our classmate..." Uraraka sat there on the floor traumatized muttering to herself.
All Might had overheard what the girl had said and turned to look back outside.
And there he stood.
Their former classmate.
Out in the shadows of the night.
He walked closer to the light of the street lamp to make him easier to see.
When his face was revealed to All Might, his heart shattered.
"Iida, call the authorities... Now," All Might ordered.
"Awe is that how you say hello to an old student, All Might?" He laughed.
All Might stood in silence, as did everyone else.
"Really, you got nothing!? Hello! What the hell is wrong with you, wake up already!" The boy yelled.
All Might look down and clenched his hands into fists, "Young Midoriya..."
He stood there in silence waiting for a reply from his former teacher.
"You had always said you wanted to become a hero, you had that chance... why throw it away?" He asked.
The boy took a breath, "It's kind of hard not to give in after being tortured for so long. When someone pretends to be you to commit horrible crimes, it gets to you."
He began to laugh, "But after they made me commit a crime myself, my first kill... I realized I couldn't become a hero like you wanted to be."
A few moments passed before any sound registered. Many, many, footsteps came rushing down the pathway to the dorms. Cops and Pros surrounded the entrance.
The boy turned around, "And don't call me that anymore, it's not Midoriya, nor is it Deku..."
The police were aiming their guns at the boy as everyone else stood inside. The pros ready to restrain the boy at the slightest attempt to escape.
The boy sighed as he put his hands in his pockets.
A cop urged him to remove his hands and he did.
"This is boring... if the pawns won't attack then I will," He stated bluntly.
He whipped his arms out to his sides and sent bursts of air around him causing everyone to lose their balance as he jumped into the air.
"I've shattered your hope All Might," He laughed, "I wonder if you'll find it in your heart to forgive yourself. Since this is all your fault. We'll have to talk another time, I won't ask for your forgiveness."
Then he vanished, without a trace. No one would know where he had gone. Even after All for One had been defeated, they never did find the base in the Kamino Ward.
Although he didn't like Shigaraki or Dabi, he respected Kurogiri and Toga. It seemed weird that he respected that crazy chick, but his real reason is that she was kind to him, despite being annoying occasionally. And it wasn't odd to respect Kurogiri, after all, he was smarter than the rest of them. Well, not smarter than him. The young 18-year-old villain named Zero, kill count 153, his quirk given to him by All Might, and the new king on the chess board.
If he made any mistakes he would lose his pawns, or... Have to kill a student at UA. That was not his intention. He was using them to get what he wanted. He knows that those at UA would do anything to get him back to his old self.
He was their friend after all, and even though only for a few weeks, everyone knew who he was at heart.
But know he was only using them, and they didn't know it.
His intentions are unknown to those in the league and everyone around him. A cold-hearted teenager, which manipulative abilities, the new king is controlling both sides of the board.
