"We'll be transferring your remaining family to a safe location, and plans are already underway in regards to your safety. The badges you were given are still authorized, and can only be taken by Mrs. Shiozaki, whenever she wants to wake up. We will transfer you to another agency who gave you offers and you will-"
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO! JUST FIND ME THE PEOPLE WHO MURDERED MY FATHER! FIND THE LEAGUE OF VILLAINS! NOW!"

You were currently at the police station inside of a room that was cleared out so that police and other pro heroes could speak with you both in regards to the safety measures being taken in protecting both Ryu's and your family. You were informed that your father and 21 were both taken to a different, secluded, home where no one could find them. Ryu's family were kept hidden from everyone except for a few trusted officials. As you were leaned against the wall, the meeting concluded and both of you were free to relocate to your new agencies. You chose to go with Momo since she was close by, but what surprised you was when Ryu chose to go with the agency Todoroki was at. It was a quiet walk out of the station, and once you were both outside, you both stood there in silence, still trying to take everything in.
"I'm sorry, Ryu...I truly am..." You told him.
"Me too..." He replied.
"He was like another father to me, I'd do anything for that man. I'd trade my life for him. You know tha-" You spoke but he cut you off.
"Y/N..." He said as you went silent. "There is one thing I must know..." He said.
"What is it?" You asked.
"...Is it wrong to kill for payback?" He asked.
"Ryu, wait-" He cut you off again.
"It's only right. An eye for an eye, you know the saying. Y/N, they have chosen to attack us warriors thinking that we are inferior to them. I cannot stand by and wait for them to be captured and tried. I need to to get them now." He said.
"We'll get them as soon as possible, I promise. But we can't do things like that! It's wrong!" You said.
"Wrong!? Just like how it was wrong for you to get angry when those villains decided to go after that frog girl back at the USJ!? I've watched the tapes! You attacked out of sheer rage, Y/N! Isn't that something I deserve!? THEY TOOK MY FATHER FROM ME!" He yelled.
"AND IN THAT MOMENT, I FELT LIKE I WAS A VILLAIN!" You shouted back as he went quiet. "FIGHTING WITH THAT KIND OF SELFISH RAGE IS WHAT THEY USE TO MOTIVATE THEMSELVES! IF WE STOOP DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL, WHO GIVES US THE RIGHT TO CALL OURSELVES HEROES, LET ALONE WARRIORS!" You yelled at him before calming down. "I'm sorry..." You said.
"Y/N..." He said as he turned to you with a pleading look. "Promise me...Promise me we will be the ones to take them down, for my father..." He said.
You grabbed him and hugged him as he stood still and didn't move.
"I promise...We'll do whatever it takes to get them. But promise me you won't do anything like that. Learn that you can't attack for selfish reasons, that's not what heroes are about." You said to him.
"I promise..." He said as you nodded.
"Alright, fly on over to Todoroki, I'm going on over to where Momo is." You said.
Just as he was about to take off, you looked at him and called him.
"Ryu!" You yelled as he turned around and you smirked. "When did you and Hatsume become a thing?" You asked as he got angry and turned red.
"Sh-Shut up and go to YOUR woman already!" He said as he scoffed and flew off.
You chuckled and flew off to where Momo said to meet her. As you were flying, you called her on your phone and waited until she finally picked up.
"Hey, are you almost here?" She asked.
"Yeah, almost. You said it was a TV studio?" You asked her.
"Yeah, I'm waiting outside for you right now." She said.
As you grew closer to the address, you saw her on the sidewalk outside of a sound stage waiting for you as you landed in front of her and put your phone away.
"Hey, love." She said as she walked up to you and gave you a kiss. "How're you doing?" She asked as you kissed her and walked inside with her.
"We're doing the best we can. All we need to do right now is get our internships done and make it back." You said as you walked into the studio and were greeted by Kendo and the pro hero they were assigned to, Uwambi.
"It's nice to see your safe. Principal Nezu told me the situation, are you all right?" Uwambi asked.
"Yeah, that must've been scary seeing those villains again. I hope Ryu's all right also..." Kendo said in worry.
"He'll be fine, he just needs time. Anyways, uh, we do we got going on here?" You asked as Uwambi smiled.
"Follow me if you could, please." Uwambi said as you followed her with Momo and Kendo.
As you followed her, she led you to her dressing room where she seemed to be preparing herself for a photo shoot of sorts. You along with the girls were confused from this, but didn't pay it any attention when she spoke up.
"Listen here, now. In addition, heroes are allowed to have side jobs. When this was made official, there was a lot of argument made about this, but that ended thanks to our popularity and public demand. So now, I'm about to film a commercial. Stick around, okay? Especially you, Y/N-kun." Uwambi said with a cute giggle as she was making final touches to her makeup.
"I wanted to experience something more hero-like, though..." Kendo said awkwardly.
"No, this is not something you can avoid if you want to become a pro hero! Besides, she is the one who fell for pathetic little me...I will learn as much as I can!" She said confidently.
"Well, she wasn't the only one who fell for you..." You said with a somewhat hurt smile.
"She's going all out...But all we can do while you're filming is watch, right?" Kendo asked as Uwambi stood up.
"Do you know why I chose you two?" Uwambi asked.
"It's because..." Kendo trailed off.
"Isn't it because you fell for our qualifications as heroes?" Momo asked her.
"Of course! But that's not all.
"Hm?" You all hummed in confusion as she smiled at the two girls.
"It's also because you're cute!" She said while placing her index finger near her chin and looking cute.
"Huh?" The two of them asked mind-blown as you awkwardly laughed.
You were taken to another part of the building where photographers lead her to a photo shoot and began to take pictures of her posing in front of the camera, while you three stood to the side.
"After this photo shoot, she'll be a guest on a radio show and magazine interview, right?" Momo asked while checking her agenda for her schedule.
"We're basically her entourage..." Kendo replied as Momo closed the schedule.
"I think this is a necessary part of being a hero, as well. I'm sure there is something to learn here." She said as you all looked at her posing with a rose in her mouth as you all grew desperate to do something heroic. "I'm sure..." She said hopefully
"Probably..." Kendo agreed. "She doesn't want to accept it..." Kendo thought while looking at Momo in pity.
"Excuse me, sir. Please, can we get a shot with you and Uwambi?" The head photographer asked.
"Huh? Ohh, I-I don't know about that-WHOA!" You yelled as you were thrown into the frame with Uwambi as she wrapped her arms around you from behind.
"Thank you very much!" The photographer yelled as they took countless pictures of you and Uwambi while Momo was starting to get jealous and angry from how close she was getting to you.
"Think of this as helping your popularity with society grow. It's good, trust me." She said as she got REALLY close to your face and pressed her body against yours as you were as red as a tomato.
After the photo shoots, you had to beg for forgiveness from Momo, even though nothing was your fault. After the radio show, and magazine interview, which you somehow wound up being part of them, it was night time and you were walking back with Momo and Kendo to where they were staying when you noticed people were stopped and looking over at something.
"What's going on?" You asked.
You three turned to the direction they were looking and saw smoke and bright lights off in the far distance.
"A fire?" Kendo asked.
"What happened?" Momo wondered as you suddenly got a call on your phone.
When you checked the caller, you saw it was Ryu's emergency number, and picked up immediately.
"Ryu! What's going on?" You asked.
"Get back to Hosu City. More of those monsters you fought like the one from the USJ, they've appeared and are destroying everything. Hurry! I'm heading over to help with Todoroki." He said as he hung up.
"Ryu? Ryu! Dammit!" You yelled as you put your phone away and gave Momo a quick kiss. "Don't follow me, I'm heading over to help." You said as you flew off.
"Wait! Y/N!" She yelled for you but you didn't hear. "Be careful...." She thought while holding her chest.
As you soared through the skies, you a beam of energy fired into the sky from one of the areas where there was fire, and flew towards it. As you neared the sight, you saw Ryu pulling away citizens from debris as a few heroes were holding back what you recognized as a Nomu, but there were two of them, and one was flying.
"Get back!" You yelled as you came flying in with a kick and sent the one with wings flying into a burning bus that exploded.
"Hey! It's dangerous! Get back, kid!" One of the pro heroes said.
"It's alright!" You said as you showed the badge to them. "I'm authorized by the Shiozaki agency! Leave it to us!" You said as Ryu jumped next to you.
"This is bad, these things regenerate with each attack I hit them with." He said in annoyance.
"We have to gouge out their flesh if we wanna take them down. Countless blast should be able to do it." You said as another car exploded.
One of the pro heroes broke the top of a fire hydrant and called for help.
"Manual! Put the fire out!" He yelled to his friend.
"R-Right!" Manual said as he rushed to the hydrant and began to douse the fires.
"Manual? That's the name of the hero Iida interned with. Where is he?!" You asked.
"Not only is he somewhere, but I see the pipsqueak over there." Ryu said as he pointed towards Midoriya.
"Midoriya? Why is he here?" You wondered before turning towards Ryu. "I'll help Midoriya find Iida, use your attacks in a controlled manner to take it down. There's a limit to how much they can take." You said as you left.
"Leaving me to run off and save your friends, there goes noble Y/N once again to save the day. It makes me sick." Ryu said as he turned towards the Nomu and aimed his hand at it. "FINAL SHINE ATTACK!" He yelled.
As there was another explosion from where you just left, you caught up to Midoriya who had run away from the scene to find Iida.
"Midoriya!" You yelled as you grabbed him by the shoulders and flew up with him.
"Y/N! What're you doing here?" He asked.
"Helping out! I saw Manual, but Iida wasn't with him like you told me before. You're looking for him, right?" You asked.
"Yeah! He's gotta be near by!" Midoriya said while looking down at the streets and alleyways. "I might be overthinking it. I have absolutely no proof, either. But that doesn't mean I can do nothing. In the city where the hero killer appeared, guys like Nomu are running wild. In this city, there's probably an unease that only I can imagine--That the League of Villains and the hero killer are connected somehow!" He told you.
"We were attacked also, it was the League of Villains. Ryu's dad didn't make it..." You said as Midoriya gasped. "Never mind that for now though, what are you thinking?" You asked him.
"I'm not sure...I mean, does this also mean the hero killer is also in this city right now? Since Iida wasn't at the fight, either, that means he probably found the hero killer!" He said.
"AHH! Over there!" You pointed down an alleyway as Midoriya saw Iida pinned down by the hero killer. "I'm throwing you!" You said.
"Yeah!" He replied as you tossed him at fast speeds and he readied his quirk and reeled his arm back.
"SMASH!!!!!!" He yelled as he punched Stain in the cheek and pushed him off Iida. "Bingo!" He yelled as Iida and Stain were shocked.
"That kid..." Stain thought as he remembered seeing his picture in the meeting with Shiguraki. "He's the one from Shiguraki's picture..." He thought as you landed next to him and got into a fighting stance. "Him too..." He thought while staring at you.
"Midoriya, Y/n, why?" Iida asked.
"They talked about it on TV. That 60% of the hero killer's victims were found in places without many people. That's why I searched away from the center of commotion in the alleyways near Normal Hero Agency. We searched them all one by one!" He said.
"Can you move? Let's move to a bigger street or more open area. We'll need help from pros, I don't know what he's got up his sleeve, but I'm not trying to be sliced into bits by him." You asked Iida.
"I can't...move my body..." Iida said as you turned towards him. "Ever since he cut me...I think it's his quirk..." He suggested.
"It's just as the commentators on TV guessed! So cutting is how he activates his quirk?" Midoriya said as he looked over and gasped when he saw another hero down on the ground. "There's someone else here!" He said as you turned towards the downed hero.
"Damn it...We can't really fight back or hold him off with two..." You said before Iida spoke up.
"Y/N, Midoriya...Don't get involved!" He said as you were surprised.
"What?" You asked.
"This has nothing to do with you!" Iida said in anger.
"What are you saying?" Midoriya asked him.
"Your friends came to save you. That's a great line, isn't it? But I have a duty to kill him. If we clash, of course the weaker will be culled. Now, what will you do?" Stain asked as Midoriya was hit with a wave of terror.
"Is that so? Then fight me, hero killer." You said as you focused your energy into your right hand and formed an energy blade around it.
"His eyes are different from the guys at USJ. His eyes are those...of a killler." Midoriya thought while texting behind his back and sending his location to someone. "Even without any proof, even if it was just a guess, I should've done whatever I could to get a pro to come with me. We'll protect the two that can't move, and stall for time by ourselves. We have to try and drive the hero killer away if possible!" Midoriya thought while stepping up next to you.
"Stop it! Run away! I told you, didn't I? It has nothing to do with you!" Iida yelled at the two of you.
"If you say that, then heroes can't do anything!" Midoriya said as you glanced at him and Iida was shocked. "Th...There are a lot of things I'd like to say, but I'll say them later. It's like what All Might said: Meddling when you don't need to...is the essence of being a hero." Mirdoriya said while taking a fighting stance as Stain stared at him with interest.
"Well said there, buddy." You said as you readied yourself to clash with Stain. "Come on then, Stain. Show me the power of the hero killer." You said as he grinned.
You shot forward and brought down your blade as he brought his up and sparks flew as your blades clashed together.
"Good." He said as he continued to block your attacks and stabs.
Midoriya dashed forward as you jumped away and he got in close using One for All.
"Get close to him in one movement." He thought while getting ready to hit Stain.
"To switch and shorten the distance between him and an opponent with a long reach...It was a good decision..." Stain thought as he grabbed a knife with his other hand and Iida saw him.
"No! If you get cut--" Iida was cut off by Midoriya's next action.
"Now then..." Midoriya trailed off in thought as he dashed through his legs and Stain spun around to cut him with his sword, but he was already gone.
"He disappeared?" Stain said in shock before realizing what happened. "No..." He said while looking up at him.
"Mind your surroundings!" You said while dashing in and kicking his side before flying out as Midoriya reeled his punch back.
"Five percent Detroit...Smash!" Midoriya yelled as he punched the top of his head and Iida watched in shock.
"What's with that movement? He's moving like Bakugo..." Iida thought as Midoriya landed.
"Did it work? Full Cowling worked! I can fight!" He thought in a rush.
Suddenly, you and Midoriya were paralyzed and you crashed into a trash can in pain as your body felt completely numb, unable to move.
"Wh-What the?! M-My body! I can't move!" You said in shock while trying to lift your arm. "Impossible!" You thought as your mind went back to when your blades clashed together. "Did he cut me by pushing hard enough through my energy blade?" You thought in shock while seeing a cut on Midoriya. "No...Dammit!" You said in anger.
Stain stood up and you took a look at his sword as you saw a spec of your blood on it, but it was smeared somewhat.
"Wait...what if it wasn't the cut...Is it blood?" You wondered.
"It wasn't powerful enough. It's not that you teamed up or saw through my movements. You left my field of vision and maneuvered so that you would definitely be able bring me down...That was what your movements were like." He said as he began to walk to Iida. "People who are all talk are a dime a dozen, but you two were worth letting live. You're different from these guys." He said as he was stood over top of Iida.
"Just you wait, bastard. If I am able to move again, you're going to regret keeping me alive." You spat as you focused more energy into your body movements. "Stop it! Get away from him!" You yelled. "GET AWAY!!!!" You yelled in anger and despair.
Suddenly, a blast of fire forced back Stain, and you were shocked to see who had arrived as Stain slid to a stop.
"One after another...There are a lot of people getting in my way today." Stain complained as you smirked at who showed up.
"Well, of all people, I didn't think you would be the one to come." You said as your savior raised his phone up.
"Midoriya. You need to give more details in times like this. You made me late." Todoroki said as his left side lit up the alley way with fire.
"T-Todoroki, you too?" Iida asked.
"Why are you here...? And you're using your left side..." Midoriya asked in shock.
"Why? That's my line. It took me a few seconds to figure out what you meant since you just sent your location info. You're not really one to send that for no reason." He said as he sent a wave of ice on the ground towards Stain, making him jump as the ice secured the wounded hero. "You meant that you were in trouble and to call for help, right? Don't worry. The pros will also get here in a few minutes." He said as he blasted a wave of fire at him, pushing him back and melting the ice, causing Midoriya and the wounded hero to slide towards Iida.
"That's hot...!" Midoriya said.
"HAAAA!" You yelled as you transformed and had some control of your body.
"You can move?" He asked as you stood up slowly.
"Just barely, but I can try to keep him at bay with ranged attacks." You said as Stain stared at you both.
"Someone's time will be up soon, huh?" Stain thought as Todoroki spoke up.
"This is just like the information about him implies. I won't let you kill these guys, Hero Killer." He said to him as you stood next to Todoroki.
"Don't let him get to your blood, that's how he uses his quirk. It's how he got us. He's like a vampire." You warned him.
"He sucks blood to keep people from moving. That's why he uses blades, huh? I can keep my distance and--" He was cut off when a knife flew passed his face and grazed him. "Shoot!" He thought.
"You have good friends, Ingenium!" Stain said as you raised your hand towards him.
"Banshee Blast!" You yelled as you fired five small orbs towards him, blowing him back from Todoroki.
You saw him look up though, and there was a sword singing above your head.
"A sword!? He threw it at the same time as the knife--" You were cut off when he grabbed the hand that was cut and tried to lick your blood again, but you were hit a wave of fire that forced him to jump back.
"That was close! Sorry, Y/N!" He said as you shook your head.
"I'm alright, it barely tickled." You lied as your back was literally burning hot and you were on the verge of crying.
Todoroki sent another wave of ice towards Stain, but he jumped into the air and grabbed another sword from one of his sheathes and cut the ice as hew as pushed back by another wave. You blasted a beam of energy towards him and he jumped from one spot to another as you and Todoroki tried to push him back, and Iida watched on.
"Why are you three...Why...Please, stop! I've inherited my brother's name. I have to do it...That guy's mine...!" He yelled as you and Todoroki continued to push him back.
"You inherited it? That's strange." Todoroki said as he slammed his palm on the ground to fill the alley with ice and forced him even farther back. "The Ingenium I saw before didn't have that look on his face, though." He said as Iida was surprised by his statement. "You've got a lot going on behind the scenes in your family, too, huh?" He asked as you blasted the ice away and made Stain jump back even more.
"Y/N...Todoroki..." Midoriya said before he began to feel his body free up. "Huh?" He thought while his hand began to open up more freely along with his body.
Stain sliced through your blast and Todoroki's ice as he jumped closer and closer towards you.
"To block you own view against an opponent faster than you...What a foolish plan." Stain taunted.
"I wonder about that." Todoroki retorted as his left arm was engulfed in flames, but Stain threw two more knives that impaled him in his left arm, blowing out the flames.
"You're pretty good, too." Stain said as he jumped down towards the pro hero you were protecting.
"Above you!" Todoroki called.
"No!" You yelled as you readied another attack.
Just then, a green blur flew by and Midoriya grabbed his collar before dragging him across the wall and pushing him back.
"Midoriya!" You and Todoroki yelled.
"I can move normally for some reason now!" He screamed while dragging him farther away.
"A time limit?" Todoroki asked in shock.
"No, that kid should've been the last one he got. I can't move yet." The pro behind you said.
"It must be the blood type!" You said as you turned back and saw Stain push down Midoriya. "Moce! HAAAAAA!" You yelled as Midoriya jumped away and you fired a large ball of energy towards Stain, making him run back as Midoriya regrouped with you and Todoroki. "It's the blood type of people he cuts. It varies on the persons blood how long you're paralyzed." You said as he grinned at you.
"Blood type? That's correct." He said as you glared at him and felt your body start to move freely.
"Midoriya, what blood type are you?" You asked him.
"I'm type O." He replied as you chuckled.
"What are the odds? Me too, and to think, it's a rare blood type." You chuckled.
"We can't really do anything just by knowing his quirk, though." Midoriya said.
"I wanted to hurry up and carry those two out of here, but he can react so fast, he can avoid ice and fire, along with energy attacks. Neither of us can leave ourselves that open. I think our best option is to hold on by avoiding close combat until the pros get here." Todoroki said.
"You've already lost too much blood. You two get them out of here while I fend him off." You said while powering up.
"We're not leaving you." Midoriya said. "We're all going to get out, alive. We wait it out." He told you as you stared forward.
"That's a pretty big risk, but yeah..." Todoroki said as you three stood in front of the two injured. "The three of us will protect them!" He said while you all got into a stance.
"Three against one, huh? It won't be easy." Stain said as you formed a longer ki blade and pointed it towards him.
"Let's go!" You yelled.
"Yeah!" The shouted as Midoriya dashed in with you and Todoroki unleashed a wave of ice towards Stain.
With each attack that you both missed and Stain tried to abuse, Todoroki pushed him off you and you both reset to jump back in to try and land a good blow on him. Suddenly, his speed increased dramatically and his movements switched up as he landed a slice on Midoriya.
"His movements are different now! Not good!" You yelled as you pushed him back with your energy blade and Todoroki fired a wave of flames at him.
"Please stop..." Iida said as Todoroki turned back towards him. "I'm...already..." He spoke in despair as he was getting tired of hearing Iida and his tone of voice.
"If you want us to stop, then stand up!" He said as Stain licked Midoriya's blood and paralyzed him again as he kicked you back behind Todoroki and into a building and Todoroki sent a wave of ice towards him, but he cut it in half. "The only words I can say to you are: Look properly at what you want to be!" He yelled as his left side burst into flames.
"Ingenium. It's the name of the hero who will defeat you!" His own words ran through Iida's head as he was in sheer despair at what he wanted at that moment and started to let tears fall as there was a bright light in the background and you dashed forward and punched Stain away as energy surged around you.
"I'm done playing around." You spat as you fired a barrage of blast towards Stain as he cut them in half one by one.
"What kind of hero am I? Protected by my friends...Having them bleed for me...!" He thought in anger towards himself.
"Save that guy first." Stain's words rang through his head as he looked at the wounded pro and watched as you and Todoroki battled on against him.
"Hero Killer: Stain. In order to teach him a lesson, I used my brother's name. I only saw what was in front of me... I couldn't see anything except for myself...!" He closed his eyes as Stain got the jump on you and stabbed you through the leg and you cried out in pain as you crashed against a dumpster.
"Y/N!" Todoroki yelled as he blasted Stain away with a wall of flames.
As Iida reminisced about the conversations he had with his brother about being a hero like him, Stain's words also rang through his mind.
"Because your fakes." His words said as Iida began to slowly grip the floor under him.
"It's just as you said, Hero Killer." Iida thought. I'm different from them. I'm immature. I can't hold a candle to them!" He thought while finally being able to clench his fist. "Even so..." He trailed off.
Stain ran through a field of ice as he dodged a wave of fire and charged towards Todoroki.
"Ice and flame." Stain said while coming closer. "No one's ever told you? You're too focused on your quirk. You're being careless!" He said as he got pass him and his sword was already at his chest.
"Todoroki!" Midoriya yelled in despair.
Just then, Stain saw Iida beginning to move and get up.
"Damn it. It stopped working, huh?" He thought as Iida glared at him.
"Recipro...burst!" Iida yelled as he flew forward and broke the sword that was going to cut Todoroki in half before kicking him away.
Just then, a hand grabbed Stain's head, and revealed it was you as your light was shining brighter.
"Wanna see something cool!?" You asked before putting your hand on his stomach andblasting him away into a wall.
"That one is quick! And the other one powers up to counter the paralysis!" Stain thought in annoyance.
"Iida-kun!" Midoriya yelled in relief.
"You got free? That quirk isn't as great as I thought." Todoroki said as you limped over to Midoriya and helped him up.
"Todoroki, Midoriya, Y/N, this has nothing to do with you three, and I apologize." Iida said as you rolled your eyes.
"Speak like that again, I'm going to blast YOU into oblivion." You said in annoyance as he stood up.
"That's why I can't allow you three to bleed more than this!" Iida said as Stain held a broken blade and his hand was bleeding.
"It's no use trying to be reformed for appearance's sake. A person's essence does not change so easily. You will never be anything but a fake who prioritizes his own selfish desires. You are a cancer to society that warps the idea of "heroes." Someone must set you straight." Stain said.
"You're an anachronistic fundamentalist. Iida, don't listen to the logic of a murderer." Todoroki said.
"No, he's right. I have no right to call myself a hero..." Iida said.
"Really? I mean, you just saved Todoroki, so, I don't know..." You shrugged.
"Even so, I cannot give in. If I give in, the Ingenium will die." Iida said as Stain set his sights on him.
"Out of the question." He said as he charged forward towards him.
Todoroki stepped in front and blasted him with a wave of fire to push him back.
"Idiot! The hero killer is after me and that kid in white armor, right? Don't fight back. It'd be better if you ran away!" The pro said.
"It doesn't look like he'll give me an opening to do that. Something clearly changed just now. He's flustered." Todoroki said as he saw him jump away and attacked with an ice wave.
"I'm going to help. Hurry up and get free." You said as you put him down and limped towards the battle.
"How do I hurry up the timer on my blood...?" Midoriya wondered while staring at you in awe.
Stain was getting tenacious and was moving around hastily as Todoroki was keeping him back with flames. Iida went to help, but his exhaust puffed out and signaled he was burned up.
"Oh no, Recirpo's done. Did I break the radiator during my kick earlier?" He thought before coming up with an idea. "Todoroki, can you regulate my temperature?" He asked.
"I'm not used to it with my left yet. Why?" He asked while holding Stain back.
"Freeze my legs! Without plugging the exhausts!" Iida said as Stain jumped from the flames.
"You're in the way!" He yelled while throwing a knife.
"HAAA!" You punched towards their direction and sent a huge force towards them that blew the knife all the way across the alley. "Come here!" You yelled as you jumped towards Stain and clashed your energy blade with his, but pulled away before his blade could touch your hand.
"Do it! Hurry!" Iida yelled as Todoroki froze around his exhaust pipes.
"Todoroki! Together!" You yelled as you fired a beam of energy towards him and Todoroki sent a wave of flames.
"Thanks, Todoroki! I will fight!" Iida thought as his thrusters were burning hot and getting ready to fire. "Recipro...Extend!" He yelled as his legs fired him up the wall Stain was running down.
By that time, Midoriya was up and getting ready to hit Stain as well.
"One for All...Full Cowling!" He thought as he jumped towards Stain as well.
"If I just..." The two of them both trailed off while flying closer and closer towards him and Midoriya caught Stain's attention, taking his eyes off of Iida.
"Go!" You and Todoroki yelled.
"...have my leg..." Iida thought while throwing his leg towards Stain.
"...have my fist..." Midoriya thought while throwing his punch towards Stain.
"...that's all I need right now!" They thought at the same time as Iida kicked the right side of his torso and Midoriya punched the left side of his face, applying hard pressure to his body.
"They stopped him! Now's our chance!" You yelled as you and Todoroki charged up your attacks.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and grabbed his blade to try and cut Iida, but he ducked under it in time.
"I will defeat you! This time, you, as a criminal--" He cut off as you yelled.
"Keep after him! Banshee Blast!" You yelled as you and Todoroki fired your attacks.
Iida charged his leg again and fired his thrusters as he spun around and kicked Stain again with his full power.
"And I, as a hero!" Iida finished as Stain was spitting up blood before being hit by your energy and burned by Todoroki's flames, knocking him out.
Todoroki created an ice slide for the two of them as you spoke up.
"Stand up! He's still..." You trailed off as you saw him stuck on the top of the ice, not moving, unconscious.
"He's probably knocked out after all that...right?" Midoriya asked as he stood up.
"Then, let's restrain him and get out to the street. Is there anything to tie him up with?" Todoroki asked.
"Just in case, let's take all his weapons off him." Midoriya suggested.
"Good idea." Todoroki agreed.
"T-Todoroki, can you sear the wound closed?" You asked as you pointed to the hole in your leg.
"Y-Yeah, just get ready." He said as you found a stick to bite on and teared up in horror as his hand was covered in flames, and when he put his hand on you...
"YYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Right now, you were limping out of the alleyway as the pro was carrying Midoriya because of his cut leg, and Todoroki dragged along Stain as the pro spoke up.
"Now, let's quickly get him to the police--" He was cut off by another voice.
"Wha...? Why are you here?" Someone said as you looked across the street and Midoriya gasped.
"Gran Torino!" He yelled as the small, old, pro hero jumped across to you all at jet speeds. "Gran Tor" He was cut off as the small hero planted his foot on his face.
"I thought I told you to stay seated on the bullet train!" He scolded Midoriya.
"Who's that?" Todoroki asked.
"The hero I'm interning with, Gran Torino. But why?" Midoriya asked.
"I was told to come here all of a sudden. Well, I don't know what's going on, but I'm glad you're okay." He told Midoriya.
"Gran Torino, I'm sorry..." Midoriya said.
"Jeez, this part of him is also exactly like Toshinori." Gran Torino thought before there were footsteps running towards you all.
"It's around here!" A female voice called.
"Huh?" You saw more pros arrive to where you were.
"Endeavor told us there was a request for help here, but..." One of them trailed off.
"Children?" Another asked.
"Those injuries look serious! I'll call an ambulance right away!" The leader of the group said as he laid you down because of your wrapped up leg.
"H-Hey, this is..." The fourth pro said as the fifth looked down and gasped when she saw Stain.
"Don't tell me...it's the hero killer?" She said.
"What? Call the police, too!" Someone said.
As the three of you were being treated by the heroes, you mainly as Todoroki and Midoriya stood in front of you, Iida came up and bowed his head in sorrow.
"You three..." He said as he got your attention. "You were injured because of me. I am truly sorry. I couldn't...see anything...through my anger..." He choked up with tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, too." Midoriya said. "Even though you were feeling so cornered, I didn't notice at all. Even though we're friends..." He said as Iida began to cry.
"Pull yourself together. You're the class rep, right?" Todoroki asked as Iida wiped his tears and nodded in agreement.
"Ahh, finally! I get to have a break--" You were cut off by the sound of wings.
"Get down!" Gran Tornino yelled.
"A villain!?" The female pro yelled as you saw the flying Nomu you hit before going with Midoriya.
It swooped down to you all, and grabbed you by the back with its talon like feet.
"Ohh goddammit! No!" You yelled as you were being carried away.
"Y/N!" Your friends yelled for you.
"There's blood! Did he escape after being beaten?" The female pro said as a blood splatter hit her cheek.
Suddenly, her cheek was licked by someone's tongue and the Nomu roared in pain before beginning to fall.
"Seriously?! Now what!?" You yelled while flailing around in its grip before you froze up after seeing Stain running towards you full speed.
"This society overgrown with fake heroes...and the criminals who wave their power around idly...should all be purged." He said as he stabbed the Nomu in the head and you crashed into the ground, sliding to a stop and everyone stared at Stain in shock. "So noisy..." He said as you all froze in terror at the face he had dawned. "This is all...to create a more just society." He said as he yanked out the knife from Nomu's head.
"He saved the boy!?" One of the pros asked.
"Idiot, he took a hostage!" Another corrected.
"He killed someone with no hesitation." Someone else said.
"Anyway, get ready to fight for now!" The female pro said as another voice entered in.
"Why are you all standing around in a group? The villain should've escaped this way." Endeavor said as he and Ryu ran up to everyone.
"How are things on your end?" Someone asked.
"Things got a little rough. But don't tell me that man is...?" He asked as he stared at Stain while you struggled to get him off you.
"Y/N?" Ryu asked while taking a closer look.
"I'm too weak! I used up my energy in the fight with all those blasts! Dammit!" You thought in frustration.
"Endeavor." Stain said as his bandanna mask fell off.
"Hero Killer!" He replied as his flames roared to life.
"Wait, Todoroki!" Gran Torino yelled as Stain began to get up off you.
As his mask was completely off, the terror everyone felt before grew even bigger as you all stared into the eyes of Stain.
"You fake...I must make things right..." He said as he limped forward. "Someone must be dyed in blood..." He spoke as even the pros were frozen in horror. "I must take back what it means to be a hero!" He yelled as he took one last step towards them. Come! Try and get me, you fakes!" He taunted with an evil grin as Endeavor even backed away. "The only one I'll let kill me is the true hero..." He trailed off as a huge wave of fear overcame everyone.
"...All Might!" He yelled as the pros were so terrified, one of them fell backwards and crawled away slowly.
"M...M...Monster...." You thought in horror.
Just then however....
*BONK*
The knife in his hand feel as he was stood completely frozen, and behind him was Ryu who's fist was balled against his head and Stain's eyes were completely white.
"Hmph, that guy was really annoying." Ryu said while walking towards you.
"He's...He's unconscious..." Endeavor said as Todoroki and Iida fell to the ground in complete shock.
"What are you doing down there? Groveling in the dirt like always?" Ryu asked as he lifted you up on your feet.
"Look at us..." You trailed off as Ryu looked at you in confusion. "Heroes are suppose to stand up for people, and warriors stand up against any opponent they come across...yet here we all are...frozen in terror as the only one who stood up to fight against his opponent...was the villain, Stain..."
