Hey everyone I just wanted to let everyone know that I back! I had to take a few days to work!
The next update is going to be The Demon Empress!
I wanted to tell everyone that I am also working on a (K/DA smut fanfic) For people with culture.
Then, I have a couple of one-shots ready in the oven. (Harry Potter, another version of my Overlord Oc, and a few other things!)
I wanted to also take the time to say that, I have read many reviews worrying about Midoriya/Galadriel (romance?) I wanted to say, that, it's more complicated than that. You will have to read to find out! But I like to read theories about what you guys think it will happen.
I want to see if any of you, would understand Galadriel point of view in all this. And if a relationship between them is possible. Like an honest relationship.
I want to hear you guys out!
Another thing. I was wondering if any of you have played Dragon Age. Because I have an idea of fanfic for it.
See you all later!
Chapter 15
The fearless looked of the white-haired girl brought relief to Midoriya. The golden eyes, and the grin on her face, was an open challenge to Stain. The hero-killer licked his lips. The crimson eyes and the mad face would have crushed the courage in anybody. But not Galadriel. She was something else.
Galadriel blocked the assault of Stain [Arcane Shield] and grinning. The white-haired girl brought her fist into Stain's face, shoving him away from her.
Stain growled but took things slowly against her. He knows what she can do. The Sports Festival showed everything he wanted to know.
"You girl. What you said at the Sports Festival was it true?" Stain asked with an intense glare.
Galadriel stared at the hero-killer back with no expression on her face. She was unfazed by the sudden question but thought deeply about what she said at that moment.
"For what I remember saying. The belief of everyone capable of being a hero was the strongest point I made that day. There was something else, but I don't recall it anymore. I should go with the flow," the white-haired girl thought.
"True? Everyone had the potential to do good if they wish. They can be heros, and you don't need a Quirk to be one," Galadriel said with certainty.
"Foolishness. This world is full of fake heroes. They are people who only care for themselves and their appearance, nothing more. They don't care for the people. They care only for the ratings! For the popularity contest, they take part in!" Stain yelled with the fury of a madman.
"That's not true at all!" Midoriya screamed in anger.
The green-haired boy was doing everything in his power to stand up. To fight and help his friends. But those words of the hero-killer. And what he believed made him mad.
"The world of heroes is nothing like that! We fight for something good! To give peace, justice, and hope! Heroes are not perfect! But we help people. We give them the promise of a better tomorrow! That's why we fight! And that's why villains will never win!" Midoriya yelled with all his heart.
The speech of Midoriya was good-hearted. The courage and conviction of doing good because it was the right thing resonated with Tenya and Todoroki. But not so much with Stain and Galadriel. Both of them had a different outlook on life and were more cynical about justice and peace.
Galadriel, for a moment, thought about her sense of justice. It would surely twist Midoriya's mind if he knew about her. The Demon Empress felt a strange feeling deep inside her. How would he react if he knew the truth? That was a question for an answer Galadriel did not want to know.
Galadriel was overjoyed for Midoriya's sense of worth. He was a great person. Very honorable and full of hope. But the world was a sinister place. And Galadriel was no stranger to the obscurity of it. So she could only smile at him. The only thing she could do now was smile.
The infatuation she held for Touch-me was still there. And now, Midoriya was the sole focus of her past feelings. Galadriel was not sure about how much she sees on the green-haired boy yet. But Galadriel realized the unhealthy obsession she had for Midoriya and how problematic was going to be for her. She saw his eyes and felt strange.
"He is not Touch-me. He is not him," Galadriel thought.
"Midoriya is another person. Not him, never him. But I guess at the end of all things. The feelings are still there. I'm so pathetic," the white-haired girl sighed with a sad grin on her face.
The Demon Empress felt the need to hold it together. The whole idea of her still having feelings for Touch-me was pitiful for her. He abandoned her at the first moment he had a chance. For what? Because of the fear of him doing something horrible for his family. Galadriel understood that better than anyone. She does. But it was unfair what he did to her.
And now, in this world. Galadriel discovered a boy with the same sense of justice, who made her feel those same feelings again. It was hilarious. A boy with freckles and green hair. Galadriel wanted to laugh, but it tired her. Both sides of her, the demon and human, seemed to argue about what she should feel.
"He is my toy. Just another one of my toys, for me, only for me! For me to play with it! For me to use him!" A dark voice in her mind hissed.
"He can be a good friend. Different from Nazarick, perhaps? Remember, you can still keep yourself together. You don't have to leave behind the old you," another voice said, with a soft tone and lingering hope.
Galadriel was not as smart as Albedo or Demiurge. But she was not a fool either. She could comprehend the battle going in her mind. It was not only her demon side versus her human side. But the person she was, or the person she could be. Galadriel was going to do terrible things soon. And some of those things could shape the world. Her world.
"I took advantage of Lupusregina. I took Albedo to bed multiple times, and a part of me is thinking of doing something like that to Pinky. I am quite the sick and promiscuous individual. And that's only me thinking about sex. But I know that is not about pleasure. I don't want to take Ashido to bed because of pleasure. I want to do it because is the ultimate form of possession. Of power and authority," Galadriel thought with sick fascination.
Did she love them? Galadriel could not answer that truthfully. She loves Nazarick with everything. There was no doubt in her mind about it. But did she love someone? That was even harder to say.
Her avatar was a Demon Empress. The traits were there for her to do whatever she wanted without feeling guilty at all. And she does not felt that way. Most of the time.
But she seemed sick just thinking about it. But the more Galadriel was around them. The more urge she felt to do what she wanted. To claim them. And she was thinking of excuses already.
"Annoying. This is annoying. I guess every woman has a type of men they like. And Midoriya is my type. The faster I recognize what I feel. The better. Still is not like I am going to do anything about it. We are both… Just too different from each other. Still, I want to be at his side. I wonder if this infatuation would be useless at the end of things?" Galadriel only stared at Midoriya and feeling more comfortable. She shrugged those feelings off for now.
Midoriya was the opposite of her in every way. And the thought of betraying him was getting on her nerves. Galadriel was not a child trying to pretend she was not a hypocrite. That she could defend her actions somehow, but perhaps she didn't have to.
There was little she could do about those feelings right now. They didn't matter to her. Galadriel would not dwell on them. She would keep them deep inside her. For now.
"Perhaps if things were different… Maybe even now I could," that was the last thought of Galadriel before she had to react to what Stain replied to Midoriya.
"The way you speak. You can't change the world or the people living in it! The cancer of today's society is the way they prioritize their own selfish desires!" Stain said.
"I need to set you straight!" With one scream of anger, he attacked one more time. This time Galadriel wasted no time pushing him away.
"[Arcane Expansion Force]"
Thanks to Stain's reactions, he evaded the invisible force. Just like the Sports Festival, he thought.
"Todoroki, keep him away from us. I will bring Midoriya and to us. We need to be together," Galadriel said, and Todoroki could only nod.
"I will not let you!" Stain yelled.
Galadriel rolled her eyes as she went for Midoriya. Todoroki was doing an outstanding job keeping him away. She noticed how he shifted between ice and fire every time Stain tried to cut Todoroki's ice pillars. He has learned a lot from facing Galadriel at the Sports Festival. Todoroki was still struggling with how fast he could use his hand.
But there was an improvement, and he was happy about it.
Galadriel was next to Midoriya, watching the blood pouring out of his leg and arm. She felt fascinated by this scene, and that brought confusion to her.
"Now, I like to see him bleed? That's some weird flex. Perhaps I need to so a therapist," Galadriel thought with an amused face.
"Midoriya, how are you feeling?" Galadriel asked.
"My body feels heavy. His Quirk can paralyze his victim when he licks their blood," Midoriya said.
"Thought as much," Galadriel replied.
"Now hold on, and tried to no grope my breast again," Galadriel said casually, and Midoriya stared at her in confusion.
Galadriel teleported away behind the ice of Todoroki, and next to Tenya and the other pro-hero. He seemed weak after losing so much blood. The white-haired girl was unfazed by the hero at the edge of death.
"Galadriel, he has lost so much blood," Tenya hissed.
While they looked worried about the pro-hero dying for lacking blood. Galadriel was wondering why he was wearing a native costume. To each their own, she thought.
"He is going to die at this rate," Midoriya said.
Midoriya's strength was returning slowly. He stood up, and so Tenya. Both of them looked at Stain, who was having a hard time trying to get closer.
"Midoriya, Tenya, I will heal him. Can you both move?" Galadriel said in a whisper.
Galadriel thought about killing Stain, but she could get into problems. So she let them do it for her, well not really. She wanted to see Midoriya's abilities better. Galadriel wanted to inspect the power-up of the green-haired boy, or her toy. But she would kill Stain if he annoyed her more.
"Yes, I can now," Midoriya said, standing up.
"Tenya, what about you?" Galadriel asked.
"Don't worry about me. I can move, I have to move!" Tenya said with determination in his eye.
"Wow, he looks angry. Engine-kid is angry," Galadriel thought.
"Both of you know what will happen to me when I heal someone. Please cover me," Galadriel said, and took a concentration pose.
Both Midoriya and Tenya got ready.
"[Lesser Restoration]" Galadriel said, and the glooming light came out of her hand.
"I won't let you save him! That fake must die!" Stain screamed at the white-haired girl. But she was not paying attention to him at all.
He threw a few knives at her, but Todoroki could stop them with his ice. Midoriya went on the offensive, and Tenya fueled with hatred and determination. Use the last of his strengths to start his engine again.
Galadriel had a funny look on her face, as she was moving her fingers all over the native hero. Like some kind of, spell. Pandora's Actor thought it could prove useful if she moved the hands around the body of someone while healing. It would create a wonderful scene for her. Or that's what he said.
But Galadriel was having a hard time trying to look cool. She seemed like a person with arthritis having problems with her fingers.
She ignored the hero below her. But looking at the boys behind her. Galadriel saw the way both Tenya and Midoriya fought Stain. Todoroki could push the hero-killer away and trap him with the surrounding ice. Tenya attacked his legs, and Midoriya punched him in the stomach. Normally someone would pass out from something like that, but no Stain.
The hero-killer became more bloodthirstily.
Galadriel thought about how Stain's purpose of killing everyone who he believed to be unworthy of being a hero, keep him going.
"Extreme ideals would keep alive irrational individuals," Galadriel thought.
Stain broke the ice in front of him by sheer willpower. The rabid looked on his face brought discomfort to everyone except for Galadriel. Nothing strikes horror into Galadriel's hearts that the look of a succubus in heat.
"I will kill the unworthy ones! I have to kill the fakes!" Stain blurted with madness.
"Is this guy serious?!" Tenya said, completely stunned.
"I will kill them all! All of them!" Stain yelled, and with an unbelievable speed, he attacked Todoroki.
Todoroki ice was not fast enough and then. Stain's sword incrusted itself on his shoulder. Midoriya yelled, frantic, and gathering his power. He punched Stain, this time directed to his head.
Tenya could kick him one more time on his ribs. And Galadriel could hear the bone-breaking. But they couldn't know Stain's state of mind, because in his desire to destroy fake heroes and everyone unworthy of the title. He could not feel pain at all.
"I will kill you!" The insane looked on his face was enough for Galadriel to move. And using [Arcane Sword] by the pure reaction, she cut off both of Stain's arms.
They only stared at the blood pouring out of the hero-killer. The scream of pain and the arms falling on the ground. But what impressed them, or worried them the most. Was the complete lack of expression or guilt on Galadriel's face. She would not kill him, but she will incapacitate him.
"[Bleeding Wall]" Galadriel cast one of her few supports spell, something that will him alive. Having the hero-killer bleeding to death was going to tarnish her name.
"That would stop him, so annoying," Galadriel whispered the last part, so they could not hear her. But they were not paying attention to what she said, but what she did.
Stain's unresponsive body was on the ground, Galadriel checked him out. And notices the pulse. So he was alive still. She sighed.
"Are you guys good?" Galadriel asked.
None of them answered. They only stared at her.
"Too much?" She said pointing at Stain.
They said nothing, but stare at her.
"Ups," Galadriel said.
They were walking away from the dark alley, drifting and keeping an eye on Stain who was walking behind them. This man's resolution to not die honestly surprised Galadriel. He was not talking, no moans of pain. Nothing.
Each step was heavy, but Galadriel was sure of his awareness.
"These types of persons are dangerous. Their goals and view on life are unshakeable," Galadriel thought.
Then she noticed the look of Tenya, Midoriya, and Todoroki. The native hero was carrying Midoriya, but she could still feel the judging eyes. Or what she thought were eyes of resentment or disappointment. Galadriel was not sure of what to think. Was she too hard? Or maybe they don't trust her anymore for how she acted?
"You are truly brave," Tenya whispered next to her.
This response dumbfounded Galadriel, as she could only stare back at him. Not knowing what to say.
"What do you mean with brave?" Galadriel asked back.
"You didn't hesitate. The way you moved, how you cut his arm with no problem," the engine-kid said.
"I wanted to kill him. I swear to revenge my brother, at any cost. But… I couldn't do anything. And when I saw someone like you, doing something like that. Woke me up. I don't think I could have killed him, even I did it had the opportunity," Tenya replied with guilt in his eyes.
"You are dangerous, Galadriel. But… I don't think you are a bad person. You did what you have to do to protect us, your friends," Todoroki said without looking at her. He was keeping an eye out for Stain, who he had on shackles.
"Friends?" Galadriel whispered.
"Galadriel, you are a good person, don't forget that," Midoriya said with a tired smile.
"Kids these days are strong, truly. Girl, don't think too much about it. You did what you have too," the native hero said, showing a small smile while carrying the green-haired boy.
"They are so weird. I just cut this man's arms and they are acting as nothing happened," Galadriel thought with an irritated face.
"They said, friends. They see themselves as my friends," a small flying old man cut the thought Galadriel abruptly.
He jumped at Midoriya, smashing his feet unto his face.
"I told you to stay behind on the train!" The yellow-old man said with an angry tone.
"Gran Torino!" Midoriya said.
"Who is Gran Torino?" Galadriel asked.
"The hero I'm interning with. But I don't know why he is here," Midoriya replied with a dizzy tone.
"I was told to come here suddenly. But now that I see this," Gran Torino was glaring at Stain and notices the lack of arms.
"What happens? Who did it?" Gran Torino's eyes were gawking at the small group.
"The hero-killer ambush us! It's my fault!" Tenya replied quickly. He looked ashamed, and Galadriel didn't like it. Why hide it? She wondered.
Then another group of heroes appeared. They seemed tired and worried but after looking at the group of students, and the villain without arms. They asked questions about what happened.
"Native! You are alright?!"
"Endeavor told us there was a request for help here, but…"
"But how did you guys defeated him?"
"What happened to his arms?"
The questions were not really helping. And Galadriel could feel the eyes of the old man on her. So she decided to just get on with it.
"I cut them off," Galadriel said.
"You did it?" Gran Torino asked.
"Yes. It was that or our life. I don't regret it," Galadriel's voice was hard as steel, and it took everyone by surprise.
"You don't regret taking some else arms?!" A nameless hero said with a disgusted tone.
"You wanted me to take his life?" Galadriel replied with a snarky tone.
"No! But you must understand that the taking life is bad!" The hero yelled.
"I didn't took his life!" Galadriel hissed.
"But you acted like a villain!" The nameless hero was annoying Galadriel. But before she could reply, the old man spoke.
"Sometimes, there is no other way. I understand, and I believe many of the old heroes who have experienced situations like that would agree," Gran Torino said.
"Thank you," replied Galadriel with a suprise tone.
"No problem girl, I was in those situations too. A while ago. I know that sometimes is kill or be killed," the response of his teacher surprised Midoriya.
"Now stop wasting time and get the police and the ambulance!" The old man yelled.
Galadriel felt a sudden nudge. She turned around and saw a figure coming at her.
"Ah, is that a flying Nomu?" Galadriel wondered with joy.
Galadriel wanted to have another Nomu thing. The last one was not enough for her experiments. But there was no place for her to take this thing to Nazarick. They were learning more about how Quirks work, and how you could recreate them to an extent. So having another Nomu to experiment on, was going to be a great thing for them.
So she took a step forward and then the Nomu grab her. For them, it looked like she lunched herself before Midoriya. To protect him.
"Galadriel!" Midoriya yelled as everyone was watching her being kidnapped.
"Uwa, this is weird. Anyway, I just need to let this thing take someplace far away. So I can capture it and take it back to Nazarick. Sometimes I am so smart!" Galadriel thought with glee.
The pro-heroes were not seeing it that way. For them, the scene was frightening. It took Galadriel away, and she didn't seem to have the energy fight it.
"Someone help her!" Midoriya yelled.
Tenya wanted to start his engine but to no avail. And Todoroki was at a loss of what to do. Endeavor arrived just a few seconds later. And now he was witnessing the kidnapping of his future daughter-in-law.
None of them saw how Stain used his long-tongue to pull out one of his knives from his scar. The madman using the strength of his insane belief. To ran to the Nomu, who fell to the ground once he licked the blood left behind by the creature on one of the hero's cheeks.
"What the…" Galadriel hissed as she fell to the ground. Only to see Stain using his mouth to hold a knife and to stab the Nomu on the head.
Everyone was in shock, the maniac's eyes and his aura of madness brought despair to everyone around him.
"How could he move like that?"
"And with no arms!"
"Is he seriously going to fight us without arms?!"
"I need to purge the fakes of this world! To make a just world!" Stain yelled.
Stain turned around, and the look on his face. The over the edge of lunacy brought chaos to the soul of everyone. But Galadriel, she was the one mad. She was utterly furious about what she happened. The opportunity to take the Nomu was gone since she couldn't contact Nazarick in front of everyone.
Her golden eyes twitched and shape. Galadriel wanted to kill somebody. She was going to kill someone.
"I need to cleanse this world of fake heroes! I need to bring justice! True justice! I must take back what it means to be a hero! Come and get me, you fake heroes!" The bloodlust froze everyone.
"The only one I'll let kill me is the true hero… All Might!" He yelled with sheer passion. The willpower in his voice cannot be mistaken. Stain was crazy beyond redemption.
And while everyone was stunned to move, or to say anything. Galadriel stood up and walked to him. It was at that moment when everyone saw the golden eyes, eclipsing the red ones. They saw a face deformed in anger. The face of Galadriel was unrecognizable.
"Galadriel?" Midoriya whispered, afraid of what he was seeing.
The anger blinded her. And when she was about to rip Stain's head off with her bare hands.
"Do you want to die? I can help with that," Galadriel hissed, and now everyone. Was gawking at her, and her bloodlust. She was lost, but thankfully there was someone there to help her.
