It's been 6 hours since Akio and Shoto went with Endeavor to Hosu City on patrol. The sun was about to set soon and there weren't many villains in the area to worry about.
Your POV
"Why did we come to Hosu if there's barely any crime here?" You asked as you walked next to Shoto behind Endeavor. "I would like to know as well. All you said was we're going to Hosu. Why come here if there isn't that much crime?" Shoto added. Endeavor turned his head towards you both. "Didn't you two watch the news. The Hero Killer was spotted in this city." Endeavor said. "The Hero Killer?" Shoto asked. "As in Stain. The freak that's been killing criminals and small time heroes. He's why we're here." You said. "That's right. All across Japan, The Hero Killer has been killing criminals and any Heroes that try to stop him pays the price. Over the time he's been around most crime rate has dropped but many small time heroes were killed by him. The fools should've been better if they wanted to stop him." Endeavor said. "He may kill heroes but you can't argue with the results he brings when it comes down to it." You said. "Akio. He's a villain. He kills people." Shoto said. "No. He's a anti-hero. A vigilante. Neither good or bad. He dropped more crime rates than any other stupid hero in Japan and has done a better job at keeping crime rate down than the great 'Symbol of Peace'. Villains don't fear All Might like they use to or are just too stupid to stop doing crimes when he's around. Most Villains fear Stain with passion. He may bring more harm than good and he kills and cripples pro heroes but He knows how to bring order to the word 'Hero'." You explained. Endeavor turned to you. "Akio, I admire your statement. It is true that crime has dropped because of him and had made an impact on the society. But not a big enough impact. I want to capture the Hero Killer so that everyone will know that I'm the best. I will do something that All Might or any other pro hero couldn't do." Endeavor said. "Better put your money where your mouth is. What's the point in all that talk if you can't back it up." You said. "Hmph. Your father usually gave me that same sassy voice. I'm wondering if that's the only he you inherited from him instead of his power." Endeavor said. You gave an angry look under your helmet as you balled you fist tight. Endeavor smirked and turned forward. "Lets keep looking. The Hero Killer has to be around here somewhere." Endeavor said walking forward. You got more angry and walked towards him with balled fist until Shoto placed his hand on your shoulder. "He's not worth it. He'll stay stuff like that to get under your skin. Don't let him provoke you." He said. You looked at him for a second then sighed while shoving his shoulder off. "Whatever." You said walking as Shoto followed you.
As you and Shoto walked you heard a large sound. "What was that?" Shoto asked. "It sounded like a building falling." You said then looked up to see smoke from a fire. 'Is that fire? What's going on?' Then time seemed to stop for you as you sensed something about to come attack you and Shoto. You unconsciously pushed Shoto out of the way as you saw something crash threw the building next you and slam you across the street into the side of a building. You looked up to see a large muscular thing on top of you that looked familiar. You saw that it had no mouth but it's brain was sticking out of it's head. "A Nomu!?" You shouted. The Nomu gave out shriek and raised it's fist up in the air. You quickly powered your Quirk and blocked the punch. Once you did that you kicked the Nomu off of you and jumped out of the rubble. The Nomu let out another shriek. 'Damn! Another Nomu!? But what's it's doing here?'
"AKIO!" You heard Shoto yell your name as you saw him behind the Nomu. He used his ice to freeze underneath it trapping it's legs in ice. You then charged forward shooting it's legs with your pistols and kicking it out of the ice breaking it's legs off. As the Nomu fell to the ground it's legs started to grow back. It let out a shriek and was about to attack until Endeavor fired his flames at it sending it flying into a building. "I thought the monstrosity know as Nomu was in prison." Endeavor said. "That isn't the same Nomu. This is another one. But it isn't as powerful as the one at the USJ. The last one punched harder." You said. "Akio, are you injured?" Shoto asked. "Worry about yourself. We need to figure out what the hell is going on." You said.
"ENDEAVOR!" Someone yelled and Endeavor looked to see some of his sidekicks running over to him. "Report. What's going on?" Endeavor asked. "It's bad. We just came from where the explosion came from! There are six creatures attacking Hosu! They are tearing the city apart and people need help!" One said. "Damn! We'll have to postpone our Hero Killer hunt for now. We need to stop these things before they destroy the city. Shoto! Akio! Lets move now!" Endeavor said running ahead. "Lets get this done." You said as you and Shoto followed him.
Once you got to where the fires were starting, you saw many small time heroes having trouble fighting three Nomu. One was another large Nomu, one had wings and the other one had four arms. "Great. And here I was thinking things wouldn't get exciting." You said in an emotionless voice while walking forward. "Hey! What are you doing?! You're not allow to fight yet!" One sidekick said. "The law states that students can't fight villains without a license. These are just abomination that look ugly as hell. And besides, how are gonna become heroes if we can't defeat villains without a license." You said as the big Nomu noticed you and charged at you. You blocked it's punch with ease and kicked it high in the air. You jumped in the air after it as it was falling towards you. As the Nomu was about to fall past you, you punched it in the brain making it fall to the ground faster. Then you saw the flying Nomu speeding it's way towards you. You dodged it and grabbed the Nomu by the back of its neck. You flew towards the ground and slammed it into the street. "These things are too damn weak." You said. Suddenly the four armed Nomu came behind you and was about to punch you until Shoto used his left side and shot fire at the Nomu. You quickly turned around and grabbed your pistols shooting the Nomu in the head knocking it down. You turned your attention to the wing Nomu as it let out a shriek but you put your fist in it's mouth. "Time to disintegrate you." You fired your flames in it's mouth blowing up it's head. As you were finishing off the wing Nomu, another large Nomu jumped out of nowhere and attacked a female hero grabbing her by the neck choking her. You looked at Shoto and pointed over to the Nomu and he nodded freezing it's entire body expected the head. You jumped on the Nomu's back and grabbed it's head in your hands incinerating it.
"Thanks for your assistance." The hero said. "Tsk. Just watch yourself next time." You said rejoining Shoto. "We did good working together." He said. "We weren't working together. You were just assisting me." You said as you saw Endeavor approach them with other sidekicks. "Don't celebrate yet there are more enemies in the area. We're moving in on them now." He said walking ahead as you and Shoto followed. Suddenly your phone and Shoto's phone went off at the same time. You both pulled out your phones and saw a message. "It's a message. From Midoriya?" Shoto said. "What the hell does Deku want?" You asked. You opened up the message. It was just his location and nothing else. "He sent us a cryptic message just showing his location. He's here in Hosu." Shoto said. "Tsk. I don't have time to search for the kid. He can fend for himself in this mess." You said. "Akio. Midoriya wouldn't sent a message like this without a serious reason. He probably needs help. I'm going to see if he needs help and if you want to come then tell me. He's our friend." Shoto said. You looked at him and gave out groan. "Damnit. Whatever trouble he's in better be serious. Somebody always gotta save his ass." You said. "Lets hurry." Shoto said as you both walked away from Endeavor's group. "Hey! Where are you two going?!" Endeavor asked. "We don't have time to talk about it. I'll send you our location. Send any available heroes when your done." Shoto said as you both started to run to Deku's location.
Deku's POV 5 minutes earlier
Deku's new costume
I was doing my internship with Gran Torino, All Might's former teacher, when we were attacked by two out of six Nomu that was let loose in Hosu City. Gran Torino was able to fend them off but they escaped and he went after them while telling me to wait. But I couldn't stand by and do nothing. How can I be like All Might if I sit on the sidelines. Thanks to my new way for controlling One For All, green sparks surrounded my body as I jumped from roof top to roof top. I'm calling this move Full Cowl and- wait I'm getting off topic right now! I just found out Iida took an internship in Hosu. I didn't think much of it first but now I know his motives. He's going after the Hero Killer for what happened to his brother. I gotta find him before he finds the Hero Killer.
I don't have any proof of this theory but I think the League of Villains and the Hero Killer are connected to this attack on Hosu. Iida wasn't with his internship during the battle so he has to be around here somewhere looking for the Hero Killer.
As I was about to go fast another alleyway, out of the corner of my eye I see a man with a red eye mask and cloth around his neck and he had a sword. That's him! The Hero Killer! I look down and see Iida on the ground as the Hero Killer was about to kill him. I wasted no time and launched myself forward striking him in the face with a hard punch. "Guess I was right!" I said as I stood infront of Iida in a fighting stance. "Midoriya? You found him too? But how?" Iida asked still on the ground. "The Hero Killer doesn't like too many people around to see his kills. So in order to find you I had to go away from the panic. Get up. Back to the street. We need helo from the pros." I say to him. "I-I can't move my body. It must be his Quirk. Since he cut me I've been paralyzed." Iida said. "So cutting someone must be how he activates his power huh?" I said looking at the Hero Killer. I look ahead and see a pro hero on the ground leaning against the wall. Crap! If it was just Iida, I could've picked him up an ran. "Midoriya please. Don't get involved!" Iida said leaving me confused. "This doesn't have anything to do with you!" He finished.
"You showed up to save your friend's life. You even made a big entrance. But I have a duty to kill him and this so called pro. When your friend chose to fight me, it guaranteed that the weaker of us would be culled. So what will you do?" The Hero Killer said and I could feel his bloodlust from here. His eyes told me he was serious. The eyes of a fanatic. Behind my back I made sure to send my location to all my friends just in case. Even though it was just a guess, and I didn't have any proof. I should have made sure that a pro came with me to find him. I'll just have to protect these two and stall for time. By myself. Maybe I could force him to run.
"Listen to me! Stand down. Run away. I told you this has nothing to do with you." Iida told me Which made me a little mad at him for saying that. "If you really believe that, then why are you even trying to become a hero in the first place?! There are plenty of things I'd like to say, but they'll have to wait. All Might was right about one thing, meddling when you don't need to is the essence of being a hero!" I said as I prepared to fight the Hero Killer.
I charged at him while activating Full Cowling. He tried to strike me with his sword but I was too fast and slid underneath him and jumped up in the air. By the time he turned around I was already above him ready to strike him. "A 5% Detroit Smash!" I punched him on the top of his head making him stumble forward as I landed on the ground. As I was about to get up I saw the Hero Killer lick his sword and my body became heavy. I couldn't move! He only grazed me and that's all it took?! No! The blood!
"You're not powerful enough. It's not that you predicted my movements. You just left my field of vision, and maneuvered so that you'd be able to get in a clean shot. But I saw through your plan. There are countless false heroes around who are all talk, but I think you're worthy of staying alive. You're different from these two." The Hero Killer said as he walked towards Iida with sword in hand pointed down at him. "Wait! Don't! Stop it!" I yelled at him but he ignored me. He raised his sword in the readying to strike him down with one blow. "Get Away from him!" I yelled again but it was no use.
Suddenly I see fire shoot from the street at the Hero Killer who dodged it quickly. Then I hear shots from a gun and see red bullets flying towards the Hero Killer who blocked them as he landed on the ground. "Damnit Deku. How do you expect to be like All Might if you can't win a fight on your own." I hear a familiar voice say as I look up to see two people surrounded by flames. "Midoriya. Give more detail in times like this. We almost didn't make here on time to stop this guy." The other person said and I knew who they were as I had a shocked expression.
"Todoroki! Akio!"
