Special Prison For Villain Criminals - Tartarus
Tartarus, the prison where extremely dangerous villains are imprisoned and interrogated under the highest possible security standards.
At this moment a man is walking between his cells, looking for a specific one, this man is being escorted by two guards of the prison with weapons ready for anything, said man is the president of the World Heroes Association.
The president stops in front of one of the prisoner cells. - "Are you sure about this sir?"- One of the guards asked.
- "No... but I have no other option... they need him."- The president said. – "Open the cell."-
The guard listens and opens the cell, inside it is the famous Hero Killer, Stain, he is heavily restrained, sitting down restrained on a large, high-tech chair with a full-body straitjacket.
- "Chizome Akaguro."- The president said.
Stain looks up to stare at the president, the guards pointing their weapons at him.
- "Gentlemen, put down your weapons, I don't think they're necessary, right?"- The president said.
- "Depends…" – Stain said. – "What does the president of the World Hero Association want from me?"-
- "Me... nothing specific... but someone I know does."- The president said. – "You're lucky I owe him a favor."-
This makes Stain a little angry. - "And now who helped you with your dirty work?"- He asked.
- "This has nothing to do with the government... let's just say it's something unofficial."- The president said while taking out a cell phone and dialing a number. – "Someone wants to talk to you."-
The president holds the phone to Stain's ear. – "Who are you and what do you want from me?"- He asked.
- *Really? It's been a long time since we last spoke and this is how you say hello?*- Someone said from the other side of the line, someone that Stain recognized.
- "You!"- Stain said. – "Kid… How come... What the f*ck do you want?"-
- *Straight to the point... you never changed, sensei.* - The person on the other end of the line is Yamikumo. – *Why so angry?*-
- "I remind you that thanks to you I am here."- Stain said.
- *True... But don't worry... because you'll soon get out of there.*- Yamikumo said. – *As I assume the president already mentioned, he owes me a favor, so I'm going to use it to get you out of there.*-
- "First of all, how did you get the president of the World Hero Association to owe you a favor?"- Stain asked. – "Second, what made the president agree to release me? And third and most important... I highly doubt you'll get me out of here just because... what's the catch?" –
- *You don't miss anything, do you?*- Yamikumo said.
- "What he did for me is priceless, my daughter's life is worth more than anything and if for that I must free you I will do so."- The president asked.
- *And you're right... there is a catch in this deal... I will free you but in exchange you will help me with something.*- Yamikumo said.
- "I already told you that this time would be the last time I would help you, find someone else."- Stain said.
- *I offer you freedom and you complain... a shame, anyway, I was hoping you could help me, but well, goodbye.*- Yamikumo said hanging up the call.
- "What the…"- Stain said.
- "Wow... a shame... anyway, I think we're done here."- The president said turning around to leave but...
- "Wait…"- Stain said. – "Call him again." –
The president calls Yamikumo again and puts the phone to Stain's ear. – *Hello?*- Yamikumo said.
Stain sighs. – "What do you need my help with?"- He asked.
- *There is a guy I want to see dead... but he has resources, people who protect him, so I will need the best to be able to kill him.* - Yamikumo said. – *And you are one of the best.*-
- "That guy must have pissed you off too much to want him dead."- Stain said.
- *You have no idea…*- Yamikumo said. – *Anyway... Do we have a deal?*-
- "Fine."- Stain said. – "We have a deal."-
- *Perfect, an acquaintance will go for you, don't worry, she can be trusted.* - Yamikumo said. – *She will give you the details on the way.*-
Without further ado, Yamikumo hangs up the call.
- "That boy really knows how to do things."- The president said.
- "Unfortunately for me."- Stain said. – "Still... I'm proud."-
- "Very well, gentlemen... please release him."- The president said.
With some hesitation one of the guards approaches Stain while the other deactivates the machine guns in the room.
The guard releases Stain and quickly walks away a couple of steps, all while still pointing his gun at him.
Stain takes a few moments to let his body get used to not being tied and little by little he gets up while moving his muscles to relax them after a long time without moving them, as he does that his bones can be heard cracking.
- "How good it feels to be able to move again."- Stain said.
- "Commander, please."- The president said.
One of the guards leaves a briefcase on the floor and kicks it towards Stain who stops it with his foot and opens it to see inside, he smiles.
A couple of minutes later the president and the guards escort Stain out, Stain is once again dressed in his villain outfit. – "Where are my weapons?"- He asked.
- "They will be given to you at the exit."- The president said. – "We want to avoid any accidents."-
- "Whatever…"- Stain said.
- "Hey... is that Stain?!"- One of the inmates said. – "How are they getting him out of here?!"-
- "Hey! Get me out too!"-
- "Stain! Will you continue with your work?! If that's the case, take me with you!"-
Stain ignores the prisoners and simply follows the president.
Going out to the last room before leaving Tartarus, they come across a peculiar scene.
Several guards are pointing at a purple-haired woman who just raises her arms with a mocking smile on her face. – "Please... is that the welcome for a hero?"-
- "You are no longer a hero, Lady Nagant."- One guard said. – "You are on the most wanted list for the murder of the previous president of the commission."-
- "Stand down."- The president said.
- "But…"-
- "I said Stand Down!"- The president said. – "I guess you're the one he sent."-
- "I'm just coming to pick up a package."- Lady Nagant said and then looked at Stain. – "Interesting... that boy does have interesting contacts."-
- "You know the kid?"- Stain asked.
- "I think it's obvious."- Lady Nagant said. – "Should we go?"-
- "Not yet, I need my weapons."- Stain said.
Just then a guard approaches with an open briefcase which contains Stain's weapons.
Once equipped, Stain leaves Tartarus alongside Lady Nagant. – "So... how are we leaving?"- Stain asked.
Lady Nagant does not respond and breaks the window of a police patrol car. – "By car."- She simply said as she climbs into the pilot's seat.
- "Works for me."- Stain said getting into the passenger seat.
Lady Nagant starts the car and prepares to leave but Stain stabs the dashboard of the car with a knife and takes a chip out of it. – "I don't like being tracked."- Stain said throwing the tracking chip out the window.
- "Nice."- Lady Nagant said driving out of Tartarus. – "You better get comfortable... it will be a long trip."-
- "How much do we have to travel?"- Stain asked.
- "We will practically have to cross the country to reach our destination."- Lady Nagant said.
- "Great…"- Stain said.
…

…
Elsewhere in Japan, Yamikumo is waiting. – "It's been snowing a lot lately... although it's probably due to our location..." – He thought.
At that Dabi and Toga return to Yamikumo, each one carrying a backpack on their backs and Dabi with another in his hands.
Both Dabi and Yamikumo are dressed regularly, Toga on the other hand wears something different.
Although she still wears her normal clothes, on top she has a beige trench coat, a blue scarf, a pair of snow boots, and her socks are now thicker to withstand the cold.
- "Here you go."- Dabi said, handing the backpack he had in his hands to Yamikumo. – "Only canned food and bottled drinks."-
- "Perfect, that kind of food lasts longer."- Yamikumo said.
- "We've been traveling on foot for months; how far do we have to keep going?"- Dabi asked.
- "We have to be cautious, if we want to get there we have to avoid the big cities because of the heroes and Tomura's people."- Yamikumo said.
- "How much longer to arrive?"- Toga asked.
- "We have been hiding in Ishikawa, on the outskirts of Kanazawa."- Yamikumo said. – "We moved towards the eastern coasts in Ibaraki avoiding the big cities, then we traveled using the coast towards the north until we reached Sendai where we surrounded the city and continued until we reached Iwate where we surrounded Morioka until we reached where we are, the town of Kosaka."-
- "I understand that we avoid cities but do we really have to go that slow?"- Dabi asked.
- "It is better to be cautious than to risk being a) captured by heroes, b) found by Tomura and his people or c) being discovered by Hiro."- Yamikumo said. – "Besides, you can't complain... it's not like we slept in the middle of nowhere."-
- "For you it's easy to say... you don't feel cold."- Toga said. – "You can warm yourself with your quirk and Dabi is resistant to the cold."-
- "It won't take much anymore... if we continue at this pace we will reach Aomori in a couple of days."- Yamikumo said. – "There we will sneak onto a ferry that will take us to the island of Hokkaido, where our objective is, Daisetsuzan National Park, where Hiro is hiding in his new base."-
- "And will the Sniper Lady and Stain arrive on time?"- Dabi asked.
- "I'm sure of that."- Yamikumo asked.
- "I still can't believe I'm going to meet Stain in person!"- Toga said with excitement.
- "Calm down…"- Dabi said. – "Who am I fooling?! I can't believe it either!"-
- "I'm sure he's excited to meet you two..."- Yamikumo said. – "Now come on, we still have some way to go."-
The trio's trip continues at the same pace, slowly but surely, avoiding the big cities before reaching Aomori.
The days are summarized in walks with light breaks for lunch. – "Man... these things don't have any flavor anymore..."- Toga said.
- "We've been eating the same thing for months... it's obvious that we're already tired of this."- Yamikumo said.
- "This is your fault..."- Dabi said as he throws the empty can at Yamikumo's head, he stops it with his telekinesis before it even hits him.
- "If you want we can go back."- Yamikumo said.
- "No thanks."- Dabi said.
- "When we finish this... what will we do next?"- Toga asked.
- "I don't know about you, but I already have plans."- Dabi said. – "Now that we're on this revenge thing... why don't you help me find and destroy the Himura?"-
- "Himura… Who are those?"- Toga asked.
- "I understand that they are a family of people with ice quirks, they were the first humans to develop an ice quirk."- Dabi said.
- "I never heard of them... yet there are more people with ice quirks without the last name Himura."- Yamikumo said.
- "All ice quirk users are descendants of a Himura, or have a Himura ancestor."- Dabi said. – "The problem with that family is how disgusting they are."-
- "What do you mean?"- Toga asked.
- "These people have the belief in blood purity."- Dabi said. – "They only relate to each other and those who have offspring with someone outside the Himura family are branded blood traitors and expelled from the family."-
- "That's gross."- Toga said.
- "I know and my duty is to put an end to them."- Dabi said.
- "Why do you want to destroy them?"- Yamikumo asked.
- "My mother is a Himura, a blood traitor according to the Himura by marrying my father."- Dabi said.
- "You have never told us who your father is."- Toga said.
- "The green-haired idiot already knows it... but I guess it doesn't hurt to tell you too."- Dabi said. – "My father is Endeavor, the one responsible for making my life shit."-
- "Your dad is Endeavor?! That explains a lot... So that guy from UA with fire and ice... he's..." – Toga said.
- "That fool is my little brother."- Dabi said. – "Just so you know, my name before adopting the name Dabi was Toya Todoroki."-
- "Toya... It has something that I like... Toya... interesting name."- Toga said. – "Wait... in Nabu... you used your real name!"-
- "No... that's not my name anymore, Toya Todoroki is dead and Dabi is what's left of him."- Dabi said. – "So don't call me Toya, he doesn't exist anymore."-
- "Party pooper…"- Toga said. – "So, you were saying…"-
- "Right… My father and the Himura are no different, they only care about status and their ambitions... that is why they must be destroyed, everything that the Todoroki and Himura represent... I am going to burn it to ashes."- Dabi said. – "That's what I'll do once we're done with Hiro."-
- "That's interesting, but I think we need to worry about something before we do what we want."- Yamikumo said.
- "And that is?"-
- "Tomura."- Yamikumo said. – "The doctor said that he will give Tomura a power, that worries me."-
- "Let the heroes take care of that."- Dabi said. – "That's their job."-
- "What if the heroes don't know about that?"- Yamikumo asked. – "What if the heroes don't know about that?"-
- "That... wouldn't be good for us."- Toga said. – "Also... Tomura must pay for what he did, he must pay for Jin-kun's death with his own life."-
- "But if he gets that power... I highly doubt he'll leave us alone..."- Dabi said. – "Damn... don't our problems ever end?!"-
- "If we manage to finish off Hiro, going after Tomura would be very complicated..."- Yamikumo said. – "He has a whole army and we are... five people if we count Nagant and Stain."-
- "And what do you suggest?"- Dabi asked.
- "You said it yourself... heroes, we should..."- Yamikumo said but was interrupted by Dabi.
- "Oh no... don't think I'll help those fools!"- Dabi said. – "Are you crazy?! We are villains! I highly doubt they'll let us help them!"-
- "Yes and I also don't like those people."- Toga said.
- "I'm not saying we help them directly... maybe, I don't know, let's say someone points them in the right direction, someone unknown."- Yamikumo said. – "That suddenly they, in some mysterious way, receive the information they need to stop Tomura."-
- "I like that more now."- Dabi said. – "We show them the direction and let them do the work and we go our way."-
- "Yeah I like that plan."- Toga said. – "Still... do you think those guys have enough power to defeat Tomura if he manages to obtain that power?"-
- "Yes, there is a person with the power to defeat Tomura."- Yamikumo said.
- "And who is that person?"- Dabi asked.
- "She's the green-haired girl that Tomura hates only below me and All Might, Izumi Midoriya."- Yamikumo said.
- "Izumi-chan!"- Toga said.
- "I see... wait... isn't that girl dead? You killed her, didn't you?" – Dabi asked.
- "Let's say... I didn't actually kill her."- Yamikumo said. – "I aimed at an exact point that made it look like I was piercing her heart, but I didn't, all to fool Alpha and gain Tomura's trust."-
- "I would hit you right now but honestly I don't care."- Dabi said. – "If she can defeat Tomura, perfect by me."-
- "So Izumi-chan is still alive!"- Toga said. – "I wonder if we are still friends..." –
- "Anyway... it's time to move on."- Yamikumo said and the three get up, put their things away and continue on their way.
…

…
Hokkaido.
Daisetsuzan National Park
Inside his new base of operations, Hiro is checking some monitors when Alpha appears behind him. – "The preparations are ready."- Alpha said.
- "Perfect, we just need our guests of honor to arrive."- Hiro said while smoking a cigar.
- "Sir... excuse my boldness, but wouldn't it be easier to hunt them down while they're on their way here?" – Alpha asked. – "If they reach Aomori nothing will stop them from reaching Hokkaido and you control all of Hokkaido, it would be as simple as hunting them and you wouldn't even run any risk."-
- "And that all the preparations have been for nothing? No thanks, besides... I prefer to see them in person when they are defeated."- Hiro said.
- "I see... and another thing."- Alpha said. – "It was confirmed that the Hero Killer Stain has been released from Tartarus and that he was seen leaving there along with the fourth target, Lady Nagant."-
- "So the boy used his contacts to free Stain... that's an unforeseen event, but nothing the gold guard can't handle."- Hiro said. – "Be patient Alpha, soon revenge will be mine."-
- "I'll make sure that's the case, Chairman Hiro."- Alpha said.

To be continued.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
We're back with this story, are you ready for these last two arcs?
I have a lot of things planned for these last two arcs.
But first, an apology for not publishing any chapter of any story in recent weeks, I have been busy, now that I have graduated, looking for a job is horrible.
Anyways, in this arc we will focus on Yamikumo and his group against Hiro and the gold guard, finally we will reveal Alpha's secrets and learn more about the Himura family.
In the final arc we will have many things, we will explore more about Shoto and the two bloods that he has, the Todoroki and the Himura, as well as it will also have a power up for our favorite two-color hair boy.
I have so many things planned that I can't explain them all, you'll just have to wait to see them.
Well, nothing, the next chapter we continue with Yamikumo, Dabi and Toga's trip to Hiro, a little calm before the chaos.
The next chapter will be calm, chill and a little fun, but the one that comes after will blow everything up.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
