Chapter 13 - Where's Mister Clean?
Yeah, it's been a while, huh? Here's the down-low.
I have been busy as a detective on the new League of Villains case with everything going on. I have had to use all my connections as Virus to figure that shit out because it's covered! I mean, I figured a lot out, but not as much as I would like.
As Virus, I have been doing the usual killing. I feel like you wouldn't want to watch them as they are boring AF. Like, the fights suck.
After my proof of power, I became Aizawa's partner for class 1-A to teach them how to fight by constantly beating their asses, but hey, they are getting better! I still want to murder the man, though. We get along for work. Otherwise, we are fighting. Oh, and he has a new student he is training.
Eri is still a sweetheart.
Aizawa is 'having fun' in the Mafia, though he disapproves of fucking everything. Though, him questioning Present Mic about his involvement in the group was hilarious. I have no idea how they are not together yet for how much Aizawa was worrying about it, but oh well. Their problem, not mine!
The Mafia is back in power again...anything else?
Oh yeah, the Sports Festival! Now that's where the real shit is!
For those unaware, UA holds a Sports Festival so that heroes can check out the hero course (UA students, but let's be honest here: it's really only for the hero students.) to figure out who they want in their agency. I can even go as far as to say that it replaces the Olympics. People from all over the place come to watch kids beat each other up like it's a WWE fight!
Overall, class 1-A kicked ass because yours truly taught them.
Bakugo got first place (sadly for someone like me), Todoroki, that ice-hot boy, got second, and Tokoyami got third. Of course, there was supposed to be another fight for third place. However, Iida left due to a family situation.
That family situation is what leads me here in Hosu.
As it turns out, Iida's brother Ingenium was injured and left paralyzed by the Hero Killer: Stain for some reason. I say for some reason because I have no idea why Stain would go after him of all people.
I should probably explain Stain, huh? Alright.
Stain was initially a vigilante call Stendal, but he decided that heroes suck, so now he goes around murdering and paralyzing heroes. Wait, that's a shitty explanation. Rephrase, Stain believes that most of the heroes we have are not 'true heroes' because they work for fame and money. The only person qualifying as a true hero is All Might because he is self-sacrificing and expects nothing in return.
Personally, I am against this whole ideal because that means you should be doing something for no reward, and that's ridiculous to expect. Humans need awards to continue. Otherwise, we just give up.
If you haven't figured it out already, I am after Stain...kind of.
I ain't going to look for Stain's ass specifically, but if I find him, I have to deal with him then. That fight would be dangerous as hell to get into because he is strong. I know strength when I see it, and he has it. It doesn't help that he has the speed to back him up, though not as fast as me, especially since Aizawa forced those weights on me. Agility would be my main game there.
I am in Hosu because of Iida. Aizawa requested that I look after the idiot as he is afraid that Iida will try to go after Stain for vengeance. After watching him for a little bit, I see where Aizawa got that idea from. He's pretty much going to get himself killed if I don't follow, so that's my job.
That doesn't make me any less salty because I could be spending time with Eri BUT NO! THIS ROBOTIC IDIOTIC IS GOING TO FIGHT, AND HE THINKS HE'S GOING TO WIN AGAINST AN OPPONENT I AM WARY OF! BULL FUCKING SHIT OF THE CENTURY! NOW I OWE ERI A BUNCH OF SHIT BECAUSE OF YOU, IIDA!
Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. I am not saying it's a guaranteed chance that he will get into the fight, but that doesn't make me any calmer as I always have to watch him. AKA, a lot of time away from Eri.
With that explanation out of the way, let's catch up to where we are now.
- - -
"WHAT IN THE TOASTER STROODLE DO YOU MEAN THERE IS A FUCKING ATTACK TONIGHT?!" I scream at the top of my lungs while I chill on a roof. Currently, I am in Hosu stalking robot student to make sure he doesn't get killed. While I was doing my thing, I got a call from Dabi, and here we are!
"You heard me the first time. One of the connections said that the League of Villains is attacking Hosu tonight. However, there is a lack of information on what is specifically happening," Dabi grumbles through the phone, probably pissed off because I yelled in his ear. I mean, what kind of reaction do you expect from me?
"Any ideas why?"
"Compress said that it is probably for attention, but it could be linked up to a Stain attack as well."
"He thinks those two are working together?"
"Anything is possible, dumbass. You should know this better than anyone."
"True. Damn it. After last time, I want you and Compress here, Dabi. If they created another disgusting cookie monster, you two could deal with them the best. Since it can be linked up to a Stain attack, I have to keep a close eye on the Sonic kid I told you about."
"I would let him get beat up."
"Me too! However, Aizawa says otherwise! You two able to join me tonight?"
"Let me check...yeah. We meeting up, or you want us to do whatever until trouble strikes?"
"Wait for Team Rocket to come out, and then blast them off to the point they die!"
"...I am taking away your pokemon games when you get home."
"PLEASE NO! I LOVE THEM! I NEED TO KEEP MY TOP RANK UP!"
The asshole doesn't give me a chance to defend myself because he hangs up! Dabi is lucky that I am polite! Otherwise, I would YEET his ass on the street to suffer! YOU DON'T DISS POKEMON! IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT POKEMON IS INGRAINED INTO MY SOUL!
Rude ass prune.
. . .
Oh wait, I should be worried about the attack tonight, huh?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
- - -
Tonight
BOOM!
Welp, good to know that my sources were not lying to me. Unfornutally, I can't join the fight because I have to babysit.
Now I know how the side characters feel.
As it turns out, I was right on my prediction with the Nomu except they become a little army, so fucking great! I don't see the leaders, so I guess the Nomus are just here for the heck of it. I watch Dabi and Compress come out to deal with them because the heroes down there don't have the means of doing it apparently.
Or they are just that dumb. I have no idea, and I rather not know the answer to that.
Meanwhile, I stalk Iida, and I see him go into a goddamn alleyway. I swear on the Bee movie itself that if he just found the Hero Killer, Aizawa legit has the unluckiest class out there, and I am dropping my job there. I hop down from the roof, sneak past the chaos, and follow Iida into the disgusting alleyway.
Sorry Bee movie, but you're fucked. Why? Iida did find Stain.
God fucking damn it all on a mozzarella stick.
When I arrive at the scene, I see Iida rush at Stain, but Stain somehow manages to kick his armor. Let's see, we are in an alleyway that's far from the scenes. I see pro hero Native slumped against the wall, so I assume he got his ass beat by Stain. Stain looks uninjured, so this is going to be one heck of a fight for me.
I mean, at least I am finally getting a challenge. Iida, on the other hand, needs to get a good old spanking BECAUSE HE DIDN'T THINK THIS SHIT THROUGH!
Whatever. Time to start shit, I guess.
Before Stain has a chance to fight back, I zoom from the corner past Iida and slice through his chest. Unfortunately, I get mere cat scratches as he jumps back and swings his katana at me. I grab his sword with my right hand(see? metal claws have a use!), trembling from the strength coming from him. I have to let go, duck, and roll to the side when he tries to take the chance to throw a fucking knife at me with his free hand. I shoot my claws from my left hand to create distance between Stain and me. He hops back, but he straightens up slightly when he realizes who it is.
"Virus, long time no see! You really have gotten better, huh, kid? However, you're in my way," Stain explains as he readjusts the grip on his sword. I stand up and walk in front of Iida.
I huff, "You should know my reputation, you mess."
"At least your personality is there after the past couple of years. I thought you would change after seeing the shit on the street." I chuckle. I'll explain the story later.
"Trust me, I have. I've just gotten more badass and OP! Iida, during this time, you're supposed to be high-tailing it with Native. Why are you fucking with the story?" Yes, I'm calling Iida out. I deserve the right to do so!
Iida speaks up from behind me, "This is my fight! Not yours, Virus!" Oh boy. Welp, plan B.
"Says who? I recommend you get out before I slice you up myself."
"But my-"
"Your brother got paralyzed recently, right? If he couldn't defeat him, why should you?! It's illogical! Vengence is going to do nothing good for you! Ingenium would be disappointed. NOW GET OUT!"
Thankfully, that gets him moving. I hear Iida grab what I presume to be Native's body and run.
Stain takes the chance to attack Iida, but I turn my shocks on and shoot the claws to attach on his back. I rush forward to kick him down; however, I have to rip the nails from his skin and get out of the way to avoid getting impaled by a spikey boot.
These gloves are going to be a bitch to clean up later.
Oh, and dealing with Stain in general. He has to have a high pain tolerance to not knock out from a shock like that!
Stain growls, "You're going to stop me, aren't you?"
"No. I'm going to leave and go to KFC. YES, I AM GOING TO FUCKING STOP YOU! WHAT IN TARNATION DO YOU EXPECT?!"
"You knew about the attack, didn't you?"
"Yeah, but why the fuck are you working with the League of Villains? For fuck sakes, their goal is to kill All Might! This seems contradicting here!" The whole time, I watch Stain's movement to make sure he won't get out of my grasp.
Stain scoffs, "They are merely following me. Enough talking, Izuku, " He bursts forward, and a loud clang along with a spark echoes in the alleyway as I grab his katana with both hands this time, "Show me how much you've grown, Izuku!"
If we are going to compare strength, I am merely a worm compared to Stain. He easily overpowers me with one arm, so I have to be careful here. I can hear him grabbing for his knife. I kick him in the stomach and let go of the sword to make him lose his balance. Then, I tackle him to the ground and attempt to pin him. Due to my small size, he curls his legs inwards, kicks me off, and takes the chance to stab one of the spikes in my right shoulder when I land on the ground. I shoot my claws to his chest to electrocute him, but he uses the katana to slice the wires off easily.
Fuck, that bitch is sharp. The wires are not supposed to be cut like that and have resisted in the past. Fuckity.
I need to move now.
I roll back and stand up, barely avoiding a knife to the head (not that it would do much with a mask, but I digress.). This is actually dangerous now because I need to switch to my katanas, but Stain is the one who trained me, so he knows my style. His quirk doesn't help because if he ingests my blood, I get paralyzed. It's game over for me. That's why agility is so important now; I can not give him a chance to lick my blood.
And before you say 'Izuku, just say you have HIV!', his quirk makes it so he is resistant to that shit, but nice try!
Reluctantly, I pull at the dual katanas, and they spark up due to me making sure they are conductible. My best strategy is to keep at Stain with speed and not get into a confrontation like the last two times. That's what would fuck me over. I need to block, wear him down, and wait for the perfect moment to strike. I run in to make sure he doesn't have a chance to recover.
CLINK CLANG!
Shit! Less thinking, more making sure I don't die!
I start weaving in and out of Stain's range as fast as I can. I block his katana, dodge the stupid knife, and miss my chance to land a hit half the time. Meanwhile, he makes sure he doesn't get hit again. I already injured him a little bit, so that's something. However, I do have a small stab wound in my right shoulder, so I am not in the best position either.
It's that stupid pattern over and over just at different angles. Sometimes I hit, and I mean that in a very lenient way because it would cuts that a piece of paper can give you.
Obviously, that gets boring quickly, so I might as well gather information, "What do you plan on doing once you win this?!" I might as well attempt to brush his ego. I know he won't get cocky like most other people, but I can try.
Stain blocks my katana, trying to stab me with his boot again, but I am too quick, "You should know, Izuku!"
"Yeah yeah, but how about a deal?! If I win this, you have to come back to the Mafia! If I lose, I'll never mess with you again!" I can recruit anytime and anywhere, even if I am about to die!
"Like I am going to let you!"
"I'll take it as a deal!"
It's about ten minutes of this bullshit until we hear loud footsteps from the end of the alleyway. I'm pretty sure that's the heroes. I mean, it would be idiotic for Iida not to get a hero with the Hero Killer: Stain and the top vigilante Virus are in the same place fighting.
"To the roofs? We don't need heroes intervening with this shit." I ask as Stain and I separate.
"ENDEAVOR! THE FAKEST OF THEM ALL!" That works too, I guess. While Stain is distracted and preparing to approach, I take the chance to run in and kick him in the head to knock him out.
See? This is what speed does for you. Sonic can beat Mario when he isn't doing them mushrooms.
Though, I am willing to admit that it was anti-climatic as heck.
I turn to see multiple heroes being lead by Endeavor, "Hey, buddy old pal! I would love to chat with the scenery, but I don't want to look like a psycho talking to the garbage! See ya!"
I throw Stain over my shoulder and zoomy out of the alleyway, barely avoiding the fire trying to get this splendid-looking bottom!
If you know what I am referencing...I am sorry.
- - -
"You should have let Stain beat up Iida a little, Aizawa. He probably learned nothing from this lesson! Take away his rights while yer at it!"
"A little in your vocabulary is leaving someone with a missing arm."
"But they stay out of trouble, don't they?"
"Those people are in prison, Izuku."
"See? They are staying out of trouble! But I am saying you should let me rough Iida up as myself."
Aizawa sighs. He just doesn't understand.
Currently, we are back at the Mafia base with Stain chilling on the couch because we are going to recruit him in the Mafia. Again.
I should explain that story, huh?
Stain and I first met when he was Stendal. He saved me one day, and I noticed how skilled he was, so I asked him to train me. He first said no, but after stalking him for a bit, he reluctantly agreed. From there, we became close as kind of a father/son duo oddly enough. He disagreed with pretty much everything I did, but he had no choice, so the best thing he could do is go with me. It worked out until we had our disagreement about heroes. Then he kind of just upped and left.
Dramatic, I know, but that's how we roll here!
When I hear a groan, I turn to see Stain waking up.
I don't need him starting shit, so I decide to announce, "Hey, Dad!" Of course, this causes Aizawa to double-take, but it's so worth it! I should have had someone record it!
The first thing Stain does is sigh, "Dang it, Izuku. You're really going for it, aren't you?"
"Look, I ain't taking much off the table. You can still kill assholes and specific heroes. You just can't kill every hero."
"...glad you stuck to your roots, kid. I am still keeping my opinion, but fine."
"I wouldn't expect you to change it. I only want you to do things my way is all."
"Fine..."
"If it makes you feel any better, we are still under the Walmart!"
Stain just ignores me and knocks out again because I gave him a concussion. Meanwhile, Aizawa is watching the scene with so much confusion. Everyone else is used to this shit.
So worth it to have him watch that.
Time to get to see my girl Eri!
