- "Hello"- People talking.
- "Cool"- People thinking.
- "Let's go!"- All Might speaking.
- "Is now or never"- All Might thinking.
Chapter 13.
Fighting the Shadows.
A couple of days have passed since the internship started, in a city a guy is on a motorcycle at full speed while being chased by Endeavor. – "You'll never catch me!"- The guy said.
Endeavor chases the guy on a motorcycle at full speed. – "It's too fast for a normal bike..."- He thought.
- "You'll never catch me!"- The guy said and the bike increases its speed. – "My quirk allows me to upgrade any gadget I touch... including vehicles."- Endeavor throws a fireball, but the guy dodges it by maneuvering the motorcycle. – "And the improvements do not improve the capabilities of the bike as such!"-
Suddenly the motorcycle's exhaust pipes become larger and release a large amount of smoke which creates a large cloud of smoke which blocks Endeavor's vision.
- "Too easy." - The guy thought but then he noticed several fireballs heading towards him, luckily he managed to evade them, Moe chased him jumping between buildings while throwing fireballs at him. – "Stop trying! You won't catch me!"-
What the guy hasn't noticed is that further ahead, halfway down the road, is Izuku. – "Alright, it's time to use it…"- Izuku thought and then gathered fire in his right hand and began to mold it, however the result is not what he expected. – "This isn't an arrow… It's a fire stick!" - Izuku looks ahead, the motorcycle is approaching. – "To hell with this!"- Taking advantage of the fact that the guy is distracted with Moe, Izuku takes the so-called "fire stick" and hits the guy with it, when the stick hits it explodes into a small flame that knocks the guy off the motorcycle and makes him fall to the ground unconscious. – "It's not what I expected... but I'm satisfied."-

Blaze of Glory: Izuku Midoriya's Fire Hero Chronicles.
…
…
…
- "So, you still can't do the Ignited Arrow."- Moe asked while they eat their lunch.
- "I have the basics... but I still can't make the arrow as such."- Izuku said.
- "Yeah, I saw that, you should call it Ignited Stick."- Moe said.
- "Very funny…"- Izuku said.
- "He just needs to train more."- Endeavor said. – "By the time the internship is over you'll be able to use the Ignited Arrow without any problems."-
- "I sure hope so…"- Izuku said.
After lunch, the day continues like the others, returning to the agency at the end of the day so they can rest.
However, at night Izuku is woken up by someone knocking on his door. – "Firestorm, get dressed and ready, we have work to do."- Endeavor is the onw who knocked. – "I want you in 10 minutes at the entrance."-
After hearing this, Izuku wastes no time and changes into his hero suit and, after stopping by a cafe to finish waking up, he meets with Endeavor and Moe at the entrance. – "Why do we get up at this time?"- Moe asked.
- "I'll explain it to you on the way."- Endeavor said and then left the agency with Izuku and Moe and the three got into a vehicle. – "All right, our job is to protect a research facility."-
- "What kin of facilities are we talking about?"- Izuku asked.
- "They are laboratories dedicated to the development of antidotes."- Endeavor said. – "A new shipment has just arrived today, Common Krait venom."-
- "And what does that have to do with us going there?"- Moe asked.
- "In recent months, several laboratories have been robbed. All of these thefts have been of the same type: snake venom, but not just any snake. The three venoms that have been stolen have been from the most venomous snakes in the world."- Endeavor said.
- "So we can assume that they will try to steal this venom as well, since it is from the second most venomous snake in the world."- Izuku said.
- "Exactly."- Endeavor said.
- "And why do we have to go at night?"- Moe asked.
- "Because all the robberies, except the one a few weeks ago, occurred at night."- Endeavor said.
- "Yes, I heard about that, if they steal at night, why did they attack in the morning that time?"- Izuku asked.
- "It's because of the sports festival, everyone was busy watching the sports festival and these guys took advantage of this to rob in broad daylight without much trouble."- Endeavor said. – "It's clear that they know what they're doing. No one has ever taken advantage of the fact that many people neglect their work to watch the sports festival."-
- "Do we know anything about the people who stole the poisons?"- Moe asked.
- "Almost nothing, it's always the same person who commits the robberies, it's a man... and that's all we know, he always dresses in dark clothing and wears a mask to hide his identity."- Endeavor said as he takes out a picture of Shadow. – "What is most striking is the symbol on the mask, this symbol has been seen several times in other places, but this is the first time it is seen being worn by a person."-
- "More snakes... these people have an obsession with that."- Moe said.
- "Yes, people are calling them, partly jokingly, the Snake Society."- Endeavor said.
- "Snake Society… What a… weird name."- Izuku said. – "They remind me of those old conspiracy theories from the pre-Quirk era, the lizard people, The Reptilian Conspiracy theory."-
- "What's that?"- Moe asked.
- "Before quirks, people thought there were lizard people who secretly controlled the governments."- Izuku said. – "Curious if you realize that there are literally lizard people now."-
- "You know a lot about the pre-quirk era."- Moe said.
- "My younger sister is quirkless, that made me want to know what things were like before quirks were a thing."- Izuku said. – "Anyway, I think we're getting off topic, sorry, Endeavor." -
- "Don't worry, I've already explained practically everything."- Endeavor said. – "We have to keep an eye on the place, make sure we prevent the robbery and catch the thief so we can interrogate him to see if there are other people involved in this and what their plans are."-
- "Understood."- Izuku and Moe said.
After a while the three arrived at their destination, Jinsei laboratories. – "Here we are."- Endeavor said.
At the entrance they are greeted by a guard. – "When they said they were sending a hero, I didn't think they were sending you."-
- "A hero has been killed, it's time to stop the robberies."- Endeavor said.
- "Yes, you're right."- The guard said.
- "A hero died?"- Moe asked Izuku.
- "Yes, Pro Hero Rhino."- Izuku said.
- "Oh…"-
- "You leave this to us, you take care of doing your job without worries."- Endeavor said.
- "Yes sir!"- The guard said.
- "Burnin, Firestorm, our job is to watch the place, we'll take turns watching outside, two will watch inside and one outside, I'll start outside, every hour we'll take turns."- Endeavor said and then gave Izuku and Moe a communicator. – "Report anything."-
- "Yes."- Moe and Izuku said.
Izuku and Moe enter the laboratories where they are assigned to monitor the surroundings of where the poison samples are.
While they keep the watch, Izuku takes advantage of the time to train the Ignited Arrow. – "Still with that, huh?"- Moe said.
- "Yes... I still can't mold my fire into an arrow..."- Izuku said. – "You'll be right about the Ignited Stick in the end."-
- "That was just a joke."- Moe said. – "You know what's wrong with you? You're trying to imitate today's Endeavor."-
Izuku looks at Moe. - "What do you mean?"- He asked.
- "You're trying to do what the current Endeavor does."- Moe said. – "Do you think that when he was a student, he could do what he does now?"-
- "I don't get it…"- Izuku said.
- "For someone who's smart... You don't notice the simplest things."- Moe said. – "Don't try to do things like Endeavor, find your own way of doing them while you're not at his level."-
- "My own way…"- Izuku said to himself.
- "You are really slow at some things..."- Moe said. – "I can't tell you more, it's something you have to discover for yourself."-
Izuku stares at Moe and then returns to his own business, continuing to practice the Ignited Arrow while patrolling the area.
Hours pass and nothing seems to happen, but in the distance, on top of a building, Shadow appears. – "I have arrived."- He said and then saw Izuku patrolling outside. – "There's someone outside."-
- "Must be a guard."- The female voice said form the communicator.
- "From the way he looks he must be a hero, I don't recognize him, he must be new or little known."- Shadow said. – "Judging by his age I assume he is the first option."-
- "Then you should hurry, just because he's a new hero doesn't mean he's weak."- The woman said. – "You already know what to do."-
- "Enter through the roof."- Shadow said and then jumped off the building, but instead of falling to the ground he started walking through the air.
? aka Shadow.
Quirk: Air Walk.
Air Walk grants the user the ability to stand on and control the air around them, granting them levitation.
Quirk granted by All for One.
Shadow lands on the roof of the labs unseen. – "With these new quirks everything is easier."- Shadow thought as he opened a ventilation duct with his sword and entered it, using Air Walk to avoid making noise, or so he thought.
Once reaching his destination, Shadow steps out of the vent, using his form as a whip to prevent the vent from making a sound and falling to the ground, Shadow comes out of the ventilation and with his sword opens the container where what he is looking for is. – "Too easy." - Shadow thought and then tried to take the poison sample but someone grabbed his arm.
- "You're not as stealthy as you think."- Endeavor said.
- "Endeavor…"- Shadow said.
- "I don't know how you avoided Firestorm... But this is as far as you go, villain!" - Endeavor said and then attacked Shadow with a fire punch.
Shadow protects himself by creating a barrier of shadows, however the blow was strong enough to send him flying and crashing through a glass.
Shadow gets up from the ground without any damage. – "My shadows are stronger... interesting."- Shadow thought. – "I didn't expect someone like you to be here."-
- "You killed a pro hero, you have to be stopped."- Endeavor said.
- "I had no other choice, if he hadn't interfered I wouldn't have killed him."- Shadow said. – "I wasn't good at fighting, so I never used to fight people."-
- "So why don't you just give up?"- Endeavor said.
- "I said I WASN'T good at fighting."- Shadow said. – "I have no problem with that now."-
Suddenly some shadows grab Endeavor by the back and throw him away, Shadow tries to go back to take the sample but quickly turns around and creates a barrier of shadows to protect himself from several fireballs that Moe threw at him. – "Don't think you can get away with it!"- Moe said.
Shadow quickly expands his shadow wall to fill the entire hallway and throws it at Moe, luckily a burst of fire destroys the shadow wall. – "I heard some commotion, so I came to see what was going on."- Izuku said arriving at the scene. – "I see this guy snuck into the place."-
- "What a bad lookout you are."- Moe said while throwing fireballs at Shadow.
Shadow charges at Moe and Izuku while dodging the fireballs and with his sword he prepares to attack Moe, luckily, Izuku drives him away with a burst of fire when he is close to Moe.
- "He's fast!" - Izuku and Moe thought but suddenly their own shadows grabbed them by their feet and dragged them through the entrance door and out of the building.
- "I couldn't do that before either." - Shadow thought, then turned around and was greeted by a burst of fire from Endeavor.
- "Let's take this outside, shall we?"- Endeavor attacks Shadow with a burst of fire.
Outside the building, Izuku and Moe get up after being knocked down by the shadows. – "That was unexpected, apparently he has a quirk that allows him to control shadows."- Izuku said.
- "Yeah… I noticed that."- Moe said.
At that moment a sphere of shadows flies out in a burst of fire, the sphere breaks and Shadow comes out of it who uses Air Walk to walk in the air. - "Fighting Endeavor is difficult... But there are also their sidekicks... I should retreat and regroup with the others..." – Shadow thought. – "But…" –
Endeavor leaves the building. – "Burnin, Firestorm, focus!"- Endeavor said and then looked at Shadow. – "He can stay in the air."-
- "He can control shadows and now he can levitate?!"- Moe said. – "This doesn't make sense!"-
- "That doesn't matter!"- Endeavor said as he lights his fist on fire. – "The important thing is to defeat the villain!"-
Endeavor attacks Shadow with a burst of fire, but Shadow deactivates Air Walk to fall and dodge the fire, then reactivates it to make several jumps in the air and head towards Endeavor. – "At these moments I can take on anyone!" - Shadow thought as he creates a sphere of darkness in his hand and impacts it against Endeavor sending him flying.
Izuku and Moe quickly attack Shadow with fire attacks, however, Shadow protects himself with a pair of shadow barriers. – "For shadows, they are quite light resistant."- Moe said.
- "Yes, that used to be my weakness... but not anymore."- Shadow said and then used the shadow barriers to push Izuku and Moe until they both crash into something, Moe with the laboratory building and Izuku with the wall that surrounds the place. – "Now I'm invincible!" –
At that, Endeavor stands in front of Shadow. – "Please, I'm just warming up."- Endeavor surrounds his fists with fire and charges at Shadow, he proceeds to attack Shadow with several fire punches but Shadow defends himself by creating small shadow barriers with each hit as Endeavor breaks them when hitting them.
After defending himself from several blows, Shadow manages to counterattack with a shadow pulse to drive Endeavor away, but he doesn't have time to relax since Moe and Izuku begin to attack him, Izuku attacks him with several punches but Shadow blocks all the attacks with his hands and then kicks him away, Moe attacks him with two kicks and then several punches, Shadow dodges the kicks and then blocks the punches and immobilizes Moe with a shadow, Izuku returns and tries to hit him but Shadow stops his blow with his hand and then slams it against Moe knocking them both down.
Endeavor returns to the fight and prepares his Ignited Arrow and launches it at Shadow, seeing this, Shadow creates another shadow barrier but this time the arrow pierces the barrier, sticking into the ground and exploding in a pillar of fire which burns the right sleeve of Shadow's sweater and his hood, revealing his short black hair. – "Hmm… Interesting…"- Shadow said and then takes out his sword and charges at Endeavor attacking him with several sword blows which Endeavor dodges and counterattacks with fire punches which Shadow blocks with small shadow barriers, this continues for several seconds until Endeavor, dodging Shadow's attacks, takes a step back and without realizing it he went back to a dark place from which the shadows catch him and immobilize him.
- "What the hell?!"- Endeavor said and then used his flames to free himself, however, more shadows caught him again.
- "At night, my shadows are invincible."- Shadow said. – "The night is my ally, at night I am invincible."- Shadow charges at Endeavor and attacks him with his sword trying to finish him off in the same way he finished off Rhino, however, before he can strike with his sword, Izuku arrives and with a fire kick manages to break Shadow's sword, then Moe arrives and frees Endeavor with her fireballs.
- "That was a close one…"- Endeavor thought.
- "Forgive us Endeavor, we almost didn't make it."- Izuku said.
- "You arrived, that's what matters."- Endeavor said. – "Let's focus on this guy."-
Shadow looks at his broken sword and then throws it to the ground, places his hands on the ground and begins to gather a large amount of shadows on the ground, thus creating a tower of shadows. –"Games are over, I already lost too much time."- Shadow creates several palm-sized shadow shuriken and throws them at his enemies.
Izuku and Moe dodge the shuriken while Endeavor destroys two shuriken with fire punches. – "As you said... games are over."- Endeavor attacks with a burst of fire against Shadow who protects himself with several shadow barriers and then counterattacks with several shadow shuriken but Moe destroys them by throwing several fireballs. – "Heh… This is just the warm-up."-
Unbeknownst to Shadow, Izuku climbed onto the roof of the building and launched himself at Shadow with a fire punch from behind. – "Hmm… If that's your plan…"- Shadow said as suddenly what appears to be a bone emerged from his back. – "It's too pathetic."-
Blood spurts out, some glasses break, Izuku falls to the ground, his face covered in blood, Endeavor and Moe look in surprise as Izuku's body falls to the ground. – "What the hell was that?!"- Moe said with surprise. – "Isn't he supposed to only be able to manipulate shadows?!"-
- "Yes, but that's not my only quirk."- Shadow said.
? aka Shadow.
Quirk: Spearlike bones.
Spearlike Bones allows the user to generate cone-shaped spears made of bone on any part of their body. Their size and length of these spears, as well as how many are released, can be increased and are capable of quickly and easily puncturing into human flesh.
For his part, Endeavor just looks at Izuku's body on the ground, the boy seems to have passed out, his face is full of blood, his glasses were destroyed and he has a large cut on his face, the cut runs from his right cheek diagonally passing through the bridge of his nose until reaching his left eyebrow, luckily his eye was not damaged.
However, for a moment, Endeavor sees something else, the image of a girl with short dark purple hair, her face covered in blood, but unlike Izuku, her entire right face is destroyed, as if it had been exploded. – "No… Not again…"- Endeavor thought and then looked at Shadow, his face changed to one of fury. – "It wont happen again!"- Endeavor charges at Shadow and attacks him with a strong fire punch that destroys Shadow's shadow barrier but Shadow uses Spearlike Bones to pierce through Endeavor's palm.
- "Too predictable..."- Shadow said and then used his shadows to throw Endeavor against the rock wall and go through it, then he created a couple of shadow barriers to protect himself from Moe's fireballs. – "Another one that is predictable..."- Shadow attacks with several spearlike bones against Moe but she takes a couple of pieces of fire from her hair which take the form of a pair of fire swords with which she cuts the bones, however she does not realize that Shadow created a shadow shuriken which he throws at her.
Seeing this, Moe jumps back to dodge the shuriken but suddenly a giant fist of shadows hits her and sends her flying and then crashes into the wall, right next to her, Endeavor emerges from the rubble. – "Burnin, get up."- He said.
- "I'm on it…"- Moe said as she gets up from the ground.
- "I've already finished one of you..."- Shadow said, starting to gather all shadows in a large sphere of shadows and still remaining suspended in the air thanks to Air Walk and with a couple of shadow barriers to protect himself from attacks.
- "Burnin, get ready, I'll use Prominence."- Endeavor said.
- "Won't that leave you overheated?"- Moe asked.
- "That's why I need you to be ready, I'll destroy his attack and defenses with Prominence and you attack him with everything you have to defeat him."- Endeavor said.
- "And if it's not enough?"- Moe asked.
- "Then I'll use Flashfire."- Endeavor said.
- "Isn't it too risky?"- Moe asked.
- "There is no other option!"- Endeavor said but suddenly.
Crack!
Shadow turns to his right and watches as a fire arrow pierces his shadow barriers. – "What the…"- Shadow barely said it before the arrow exploded into a pillar of fire, causing Shadow to lose focus and the sphere to be destroyed, he managed to stay in the air thanks to Air Walk.
- "That was… Ignited Arrow?"- Endeavor said as he and Moe looked in the direction the arrow was thrown from.
- "Don't count me out yet!"- Izuku said, his face is full of blood but he is awake. – "My face hurts... but I'll worry about that later."-
The smoke from the attack disperses to reveal Shadow, his jacket completely burned away leaving only his gray t-shirt and his mask gone, having been destroyed by the fire explosion. – "It seems I guessed wrong... that boy is stronger and more resilient than I thought."- Shadow thought.
- "I don't recognize this dude…"- Moe said.
- "Not all the masked people hide their faces because they are known people."- Endeavor said. – "Firestorm, come here!"-
- "I'm ready to help!" - Izuku said as he meets up with Endeavor and Moe.
- "I see you made it."- Moe said.
- "I followed your advice."- Izuku said.
Shadow stares at the trio. – "Enough!" - Shadow screamed, his voice showing emotion for the first time. – "I'm not going to lose... I'm going to fulfill my mission!"- Shadow attacks his enemies with multiple spearlike bones.
- "It's time to end this!" - Endeavor said and the three charge at Shadow dodging the bones, Endeavor and Moe flying in Shadow's direction and Izuku using the bones to swing at Shadow, also using his fire as a boost.
- "I won't lose!"- Shadow said as he attacked with more bones.
- "I'll take care of this!"- Moe said as she destroyed the bones with the fire from her hands, transformed into swords.
- "You won't stop me!"- Shadow said as he gathers shadows and creates a large fist of shadows.
- "I got this!"- Izuku said as he gathered fire in his right hand, then with his left hand he took the fire and using both hands he created the two points of the fire arrow.
(Author Note: If you know Jujustu Kaisen, it's basically how Sukuna creates his fire arrow when he faced Jogo in Shibuya.)
- "Ignited Arrow!"- Izuku launches his fire arrow with which he destroys the shadow fist.
From the smoke caused by the explosion emerges Endeavor who is right in front of Shadow. – "I told you I was warming up!"- Endeavor said as he gathers fire in his right fist.
- "No… I won't lose!"- Shadow said as he creates a shadow barrier to protect himself.
- "That will no longer save you from defeat!"- Endeavor said as he hit the shadow barrier with his fire fist, to Shadow's surprise the barrier was destroyed. – "Jet Burn!"- Endeavor hits Shadow with the punch and then launches a burst of fire which drags Shadow until he crashes into the ground creating a crater upon impact.
Once the fire and smoke disperse Shadow is on the ground unconscious. - "Heroes always win at the end!"- Endeavor said.
- "We won…"- Izuku said.
- "Alright! That's how it's done!"- Moe said.
Izuku smiles and looks at the ground in front of him is a piece of Shadow's mask, the piece of the forehead where the snake symbol is, Izuku takes it and looks at it for a few seconds and then looks at the sky where Endeavor is, his mentor, Izuku's smile grows more. – "Someday I'll be like him, I'll be as cool as him!"- He thought.
In the distance two people look at the scene, the first is a woman with green skin, red eyes with black sclera, her hair is made of leaves which seem to form a ponytail, her clothing consists of a tight gray and white body suit, a dark green jacket with a high collar which only reaches below the chest, a dark green belt, black boots with green soles and black fingerless gloves, she has the snake symbol tattooed on her right cheek. – "Shadow lost."- She said.
The other person is of unknown appearance as she is covered in a full body suit, although you can see that she is a woman by seeing her figure since the suit is tight to the body, the suit is purple with gray, gray and green boots with golden knee pads and shoulder pads, she has a gas mask in the shape of a skull and two red horns, she also carries a giant gray metal hammer. – "Too illogical, he shouldn't have taken the risk."- She said. – "Something must have happened, any ideas Flora?"-
- "That doesn't matter, Toxin."- The green woman, now identified as Flora, said. – "Our first defeat, but as the saying goes, we lost the battle, but not the war."-
In Flora's hand is what they were looking for, the poison of the Common Krait
- "Shadow made an illogical decision to confront Endeavor and his interns, but it gave us the opportunity to enter and leave undetected."- Flora said.
- "The police will be here soon, we have to go and report."- Toxin said.
- "Let's go."- Flora said and the two of them leave the place.
Shortly after the police arrive, Endeavor hands Shadow over to the police while Izuku wipes the blood off his face, once Shadow is handed over, Endeavor reunites with Izuku and Moe. – "Good job, we could have done better, but in the end we won."- Endeavor said.
- "My face hurts…"- Izuku said.
- "That's going to leave a mark."- Moe said.
- "We faced the enemy thinking that we would have an advantage with the numerical advantage and we were overconfident, that will not happen again."- Endeavor said.
- "To be fair, him having multiple quirks took us by surprise."- Moe said.
- "Yes, I'm aware of that..."- Izuku said while touching the wound on his face. – "Ouch!"-
- "Don't touch the wound, you'll infect it!"- Endeavor said.
Shadow walked silently towards the police van, he has been defeated, it is illogical to try to escape, but, one thing is still missing.
- "When the first one falls, the time for us to reveal ourselves will have arrived."-
Shadow remembers those words of the high priest, looking around he sees that there are newscasts covering what happened, the moment is right, Shadow begins to walk towards the cameras.
- "Hey! What do you think you're doing?!"- The policeman says, this draws everyone's attention, including the cameras.
Endeavor prepares for anything, but for some reason does nothing.
- "In this moment of victory, you only taste defeat, you ask why."- Shadow said to the cameras, everyone is silent. – "We are the snake society, we are those who see everything and know everything, we will save the world from its greatest problem."-
Shadow's words, though devoid of any emotion or feeling, sink deep into everyone present.
- "You, who dares to interfere in our plans, know that we hold no grudge against you, we know why you do things, as owners of the truth we will not rest until we heal everyone."- Shadow said as he slowly approaches the camera. – "Salvation has already begun."- Shadow stops until he is face to face with the camera.
- "And we are hopeless to stop it."-
…
…
…
To be continued.
Next chapter: Confessions.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
A longer chapter than usual, but I was inspired and the truth is I wanted to finish this part of the story, finally we have more about the snake society, in the future we will know more.
I don't have much to say honestly, Izuku learned the Ignited Arrow and that's technically it, Shadow, the first enemy has been defeated.
The next chapter will close the arc.
Like I said, I don't have much to say, so...
Well nothing, in the next chapter we will continue with this.
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.
