You know, maybe beating up a fucking Nomu will provide quality time for Shouta and I. You know, the same thing that traumatized our asses.

Thankfully, this guy is actually smaller than the one at the USJ that I had to murder. This means Shouta and I might actually have a chance! However, I don't want to use my baton as I don't carry a backup because you know.

I don't expect to run into a fucking Nomu out of nowhere.

Sure, I still have one, but that leaves one side of me open to attacks. Anyway, let's get to planning!

"I assume you have a plan already, Tech-sass?" Finally, he used my name at the worst time!

"If I stab him, I could at least knock him into the ground if I attack midair. Once he lands on the ground, use your quirk on the regenerative power if it has it or whatever. Like I know how your fucking quirk works with that shit, but I have an idea. I don't know if it will work, though." I have no idea if that's how Shouta's quirk works or if it acts on every quirk like it is all one quirk. We shall see.

"Works for me."

Shouta hops to the ground, and I quickly, using my boosters, dash to where the Nomu is attacking the train while pulling out my dual katanas. Once I'm close, I blast into it, stab the katanas in the chest, and use the boosters to push us off. The force causes us to fall hard on the cement ground. Shouta's hair quickly stands, meaning he is using his quick, and I lift the katanas out before slashing it across its head to cut its head off.

You see, the reason I'm having Shouta use his quirk is to stop the cells from regenerating for a moment. Hopefully, it won't restore itself after a couple of seconds. If so, I have a lighter to burn its head off. If that doesn't work, that means I need to burn the whole body. It's similar to a zombie if you think about it. In some cases, you have to burn the zombie to kill them.

"Let go, Eraserhead." I see his hair drop, and instantly the body starts forming, somehow starting to grow another head. Thankfully, Shouta turns on his quirk again, so only part of a head forms. With our luck, it's fucking moving. It throws me off, causing me to crash into a wall. I managed to lighten the damage with the boosters, but I need to deal with this now.

I dash forward, almost getting hit because the thing is actually much faster than I thought. I have to jump over it as I stab it in the back. I would like to say its screaming gives me pleasure, but it doesn't. It just makes me deaf. I twist the swords, but this ain't doing shit! I quickly hop back, gritting my teeth. Shouta had already let go of his quirk a while back again, so the head is back. Damn it!

"What did you do at the USJ?!"

"I literally burnt it alive. If I do that, I lose one baton, which leaves one side weak, " We had to roll away during my speech, " I have the nunchucks that I can catch on fire, but it wouldn't burn quickly enough. I'm afraid it would snuff the flame out before it does anything, and I can only catch it on fire once. Wait a moment..." I quickly pull out the lighter to do a little experiment. I turn on the lighter, adjust the jet on my free hand, and aim at it before turning it on. Just like that, I got a DIY flamethrower! Sure, it's small but better than nothing, " WE GOT SOMETHING, HALLELUJAH! I need you to distract, Eraserhead!"

Shouta quickly jumps in front to catch its attention, but he has to move fast to avoid getting hit. Taking a free chance, I use my boosters, fly to the head, and use the made-up flamethrower to start burning its head. I get a couple of moments before I have to pull back to avoid a punch in the gut. This forces me to land roughly.

Good News: It isn't healing!

Bad News: It's still moving!

As if God was feeling sorry for once in my miserable life, Endeadvor appears! For once, the man has a wonderful use here! I catch the man's attention.

"Hey Endeavor, I have the perfect job for you! I need you to burn this dude to death!" The funny thing is that the man doesn't even second guess my idea. He runs up to the dude and literally burns his head off! After mumbling about how weak Shouta and I are(fuck you too), he runs off, and we follow to arrive at the scene WITH TWO MORE FUCKING NOMUS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

The first one is the main problem that is on the ground. Yes, one is in the air. Anyway, the main problem looks similar to the one at the USJ, so I can safely assume it has identical powers or maybe more powerful regeneration? Based on the hits, it seems like it. Manual is the only being actually being useful by getting rid of the fires. At the same time, the others keep attacking the Nomu in the same way. Idiots.

Don't worry, Endeadvor is there to burn his head off.

Speaking of Manual, we have another problem. Manual grabs our focus.

"Hey, have you two seen a kid in armor that looks like Ingenium?" Oh, please don't fucking tell me. He fucking did, didn't he?

"DANG IT, HE WENT AFTER THE GOD DANG HERO KILLER, THE BLOODY IDIOT!" I scream because I'm pissed off with him right now, " Eraserhead, look in alleyways near here. You probably stand the best chance against him."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to get some fried chicken." I point up at the flying Nomu. Basically, a Nomu with wings is flying around with a person. I can cut the leg off and catch the person.

"Be careful." With that, Shouta runs off.

I run into an alleyway to the tallest buildings, and I start bouncing back and forth on the walls with my boost until I get on top. It's time to test one of the two new features in my costume! I'm matching height with the flying Nomu. I dash forward with a katana in hand and use the boosters to fly over to it. When I get close, I slash the leg holding the person. I speedily put the katana back and catch the person, starting to fall myself. Thankfully, the Nomu is panicking, so it doesn't notice me falling.

"Hold on tight and don't look down!" I tell whoever it is because I'm busy making sure we don't die at this height.

Internally, I am panicking, but externally I look like a bombass bitch.

I quickly guide us to the lowest roof before landing, using the boosters to lighten the crash. If the supporters weren't there, my boots are technically supposed to take the shock of arrival, but I haven't tested them yet nor am I willing to test the limits here. I run, building hopping a couple before I jump down, land near an ambulance, and hand them over.

Thankfully, they were knocked out the whole time. I don't blame them. That's when I get the message through my helmet.

Eraserhead Paralyzed.

Shit, that is way too quick for my liking. I quickly receive coordinates, and I run toward them. I arrive on the scene within a couple of minutes. Shouta and what seems to be Native(someone I predicted would get hit) are down. Shouta is still awake, though, while Native seems knocked out. That's probably from blood loss as he has a little red on his shoulder. Stain must have figured out Shouta's quirk because his head is forced down. Speaking of Stain, he seems to be doing a monologue, which doesn't surprise me, with Iida, who is standing but has stab-wound in his shoulder. It doesn't look all the way through, so that is good. I turn up the volume.

"I will end you like you ended my brother's career, Stain!" Iida states as he zooms forward to attack. Fucking idiot. Stain manages to knock him down once more and licks his knife, leaving Iida paralyzed again. Welp, guess my time to hop in.

Literally.

I jump into the scene and land a few feet behind him, " Huh. I thought you didn't kill kids." My goal is to distract him while I wait for help to arrive that I called through my helmet. Too bad they're all busy, so I'll probably have to fight him myself. I'm curious about my theory of whether I can philosophize with him or not. Also, about his philosophy in general because there are some holes I can't fill.

Stain turns around to face me, unguarding himself, " I don't. However, this Ingenium here is after me for revenge, making him a false hero."

"But he is a kid. You know, kids are easily influenced by those around them. They are still learning. In fact, even an adult is still learning. They just become more ignorant with age. If you were to kill him right here and now, you would have no idea if he would become a true hero or not. Experience changes people, Stain." I see Stain watch me in surprise, studying my every movement, but I have a calm yet perfect posture to show that I am serious. I'm catching his interest.

"Izuku, you need to get out of here! It is my choice to face him!" Iida decides now is the time to be a fucking child.

"Iida, shut up. You made this choice, yes. But it is not your choice no longer when you are paralyzed. I have people to save here, and you are distracting me from that task. You asked for this the moment you made this choice." Iida thankfully shuts up, and Shouta is quiet because he knows what I am doing.

"Interesting. Then why aren't you fighting me then?" Stain asks.

"If I fight you and lose, you could easily kill us all here. However, if I talk to you, not only will I gain more information, but I buy more time." Typically, you shouldn't say this, but I know this dude is smart.

"Clever. Tell me, what do you feel about me?"

"Your philosophy makes sense if you look at the ground rules. However, it becomes blurred. You have only claimed All Might to be a true hero. What defines a true hero, Stain?"

"A true hero would not aim for fame but to save lives. They would sacrifice their own life to save others." A simple idea, yet very open.

"Is Eraserhead here considered a true hero? He never looks for attention. If anything, he hates it like a cat. He went out of his way to save a student, and he got me out of my alcohol addiction!" I can hear Shouta growling at me through the mic.

"Alcohol addiction?"

"Don't ask. Just answer the question."

"Yes, he would be considered a true hero." Simple and straight-forward. Now, let's go onto someone more complicated.

"What about Present Mic?" Sorry Hizashi, but research is needed.

"No, he only goes for fame! He is one of the worst ones out there." I'm going to defend you, though.

"There are different types of heroes out there. Eraserhead and All Might are pretty straight-forward heroes that beat up villains and arrest them. Present Mic, on the other hand, focuses more on giving people something to look forward to. Something that brings a smile on people's faces. He gives them a reason to survive the day instead of ending it right there." This seems to give Stain a moment to think.

"You're not scared of me if you're able to defend your beliefs like that."

"Why would I be? I see no reason to be scared of you. Now, before you slash me up, I have one thing to ask you. The League of Villains went after you, didn't they? This is all Shigaraki's plan except you killing Native here. You don't want to be in the League of Villains because their goal counteracts your philosophy." Maybe fear is not in my vocabulary?

"Correct. You do seem to be a true hero. Unfortunately, I need to do this." Barely giving me a second to react, Stain lunges and stabs his katana into my right shoulder. He starts to reach to lick the wound before another plot convenient twist happens. Iida snaps out of whatever the hell he was in, runs forward, and uses his engine quirk to kick him hard into the ground. I pull out my baton with my left, light it up, and dash forward to touch him with it. However, Stain bounces back.

Too bad for you because my baton is a whip, bitch.

I swing the baton at him, catching him off guard enough to manage to hit him. This paralyzes him for a moment. I reel it back, and I move forward to touch him again only to get caught in the left leg with a throwing knife. I quickly roll to the side to stand. The baton is still going as I up the outage. Iida takes a moment to try and kick him again, but Stain gets out of the way.

I can't even use the new feature now, damn it! Well, I could, but it would injure myself. I need to distract again.

"Your quirk goes by blood type, doesn't it?!" The man looks up, smirking as he runs at me. Welp got my answer. Iida tries to hit him again, but Stain is way to fucking fast. I swing the baton to try and keep him away, but he approaches once more, seemingly to stab me again. I could try to dodge, but that is predictable. Time for my stupid idea!

On my batons is a new pad that I added in that if I am touching it...well, see for yourself.

I catch the dude off guard by ramming into him. I take the chance to press my thumb on the pad as the electricity flows through my armor, electrocuting Stain until he passes out.

The problem?

The knife and sword implanted into me make great conductors, so I electrocuted myself in the process. This causes me to pass out, as well. This is a horrible fucking move as you're making yourself a liability. However, sacrifices will be made, and Shouta should get up in a few minutes. He must have only got grazed as I saw no injuries. Anyway, he was the only trouble-dude there, so it's okay. Hopefully, Shouta gets up quickly because Stain will only be knocked out for a few minutes.

How do I know that?

Because I'm a fucking genius. If I went with my average outage, I probably would have killed myself. Like, I kinda need to stay alive for the plot, thus why I held back.

Here is the tea. Usually, I would just give you a summary of what happened. However, I managed to steal Shouta's point-of-view on it! I'm also doing this because I did wake up between the fainting time and getting to the hospital. It would be better this way anyway.

Here is some exclusive footage!

---

Shouta's POV

Iida is in so much trouble after this that he is matching Izuku's levels right now. That takes work to do, and he established it in a single night. I'm so pissed off because the kid decided to go after the Hero Killer: Stain illegally with his quirk that managed to disable his brother. And he thought he had a better chance somewhere? Stain was able to paralyze him within a few minutes, and Iida figured he could do better? It doesn't help that Iida tried to convince me to get out of there because it was his destiny or something. Then I got paralyzed because he is so fast.

I seriously shouldn't have let Iida go on this internship. I know that his brother did talk to him because I got a message, and he still did it. I'm going to punish him harshly for all this. That's if the law doesn't go after him first for illegal quirk use. He better have learned from this experience.

Then Izuku arrived. I'm guessing the headset warned him.

If I had to send one of my students to fight Stain, it would be Izuku. Not as revenge, but because he has a chance of winning. If none of us were there, he could have gathered intel and knocked him out. At most, Izuku would come out with a few scratches, maybe. However, he has to be careful with his weapon with people around. He can still use it, but it's risky. Thankfully, he has enough talent to avoid hurting people.

Somehow, the idiot is smart enough to do that.

Instead, with him having to be careful, Izuku managed to get a knife and a sword stuck in himself. Then, the human-version of Nezu decided to use the electricity armor that not only knocked out Stain but himself as well.

He is going to hear it from me when he wakes up. Somehow, the problem child doesn't even scream at all. I know he has a large pain tolerance, but that is taking it too far.

Right now, I'm maintaining my anger while demanding Iida. I'm not willing to deal with his apology crap right now, especially with Native bleeding and Izuku having electrocuted himself.

"Get rid of all of his weapons quickly. I don't know how long Tech-Sass knocked him out for." I leave no room for arguments as Iida moves to do as he is asked. Also, I'm making Izuku change his hero-name because it's hard to say. He will probably make a witty comeback about my own hero-name, but I don't care.

It takes me a few minutes to finally be able to move. The first thing I do is wrap Stain in my scarves tightly. Next, I check on Native's pulse, seeing it's still strong. I cut off a piece of my scarf to wrap and put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding.

Time to see the damage on Izuku. You would think that after seeing him covered in blood once would allow you to see him any state. No, it doesn't. If anything, it's worse since it's his blood mixed in now. He's probably the only one who can affect me in this state, along with my closest friends and my students. But this is a whole new level. I notice his body trembling, probably from the aftershock. Dang brat. I hear footsteps, and I quickly look up to find another one of my students: Todoroki. Please don't tell me his father sent him to face Stain instead of himself.

"Endeavor sent me to help," Todoroki says. Of course, the idiot did. At least it's after.

"Todoroki, carry Native's body. Iida, drag Stain's." I state as I lift Izuku's body over my shoulder. The best way of going about it when he has a sword in his shoulder. We walk out to the streets to quickly find an ambulance to take Native and Izuku.

They would be lying if they say I was reluctant to let the idiot go. I should have trusted my gut feeling there.

As they were putting Izuku on the stretcher, the winged Nomu from earlier grabs him from their grip and flies off. It looks like Izuku was able to cut the leg off because it hasn't regenerated it yet, or it doesn't have a regeneration quirk. I run after it immediately, ignoring my surroundings and focusing on just Izuku because his luck leads him to this. I try to capture the Nomu with my scarves, but I miss by a foot (0.3 meters). I try to turn off its quirk, but that does nothing. I'm about to start scaling the building when the Nomu suddenly stops flying, and Stain appears. He jumps on top of it and slashes it in the back, causing it to crash down. Thankfully, he decides to save Izuku by grabbing him before it crashes. He stabs the Nomu in the head with a pocket knife.

"All fake heroes and villains should be purged in this society." Stain states, standing up to face the crowd. This is what Izuku meant when he said he will have to go out soon. The media is here and recording him to allow him to get his message across.

A hazardous influence.

"What are you doing?! A villain was coming this way!" Endeavor yells as he turns to see Stain, "STAIN!" His hands start catching aflame. He is going to attack Stain with Izuku right there!?

"Endeavor stop! You will get Tech-Sass in there as well!" I scream at him. Stain, however, takes over the conversation.

"Endeavor, the definition of a fake hero! I will not allow you to kill me!" Just then, his eyes start to glow red, fog surrounds us, and the moon turns blood-red. Everybody freezes.

Exactly like how Izuku did in the cafeteria the other day and what he did to me during training. The same ability.

The bright red eyes appear behind him.

"THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO KILL ME IS ALL MIGHT!"

He then points toward Izuku.

"AND HIM! BOTH OF THEM ARE TRUE HEROES!"

Suddenly, the aura disappears, and we hear a gasp. I look to see Izuku slam into Stain, causing him to fall to the ground. Izuku pins Stain down, ignoring all pain that would possibly be coursing through his body. I notice his helmet, revealing curly green hair and the glowing eyes like Stain's, but green. The aura reappears, but not directed at us but towards Stain.

I can tell by Izuku's eyes that he is having that psychotic look he does as he looks at the man below him.

"You know, Stain? I believe your philosophy is unrealistic. You believe heroes need to be perfect. Exactly like All Might. There will be fake heroes, but you can only limit them. YOU CAN NOT PREVENT THEM! Do you want to know a little story? I asked All Might if I could be a hero. A boy that was desperate to hold onto something. You want to know what he told me?"

Izuku starts to scream. He is unstable.

"HE TOLD ME I CAN'T BECAUSE I AM QUIRKLESS! EVEN ALL MIGHT MAKES MISTAKES BECAUSE LOOK WHO HAS EARNED THE TITLE OF TRUE HERO FROM YOU! HEROES ARE NOT AND WILL NOT EVER BE PERFECT! IF WE WERE, WE WOULD HAVE THE PERFECT WORLD THAT WE ALL WISH TO HAVE! WE CAN ONLY PREVENT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN! WE CAN ONLY PREVENT MANY DEATHS BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO MUCH SO LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS!"

The next moment, his tone changes.

"There is only so much we can do. We need to be realistic and take one step at a time. You killing heroes is sacrificing lives that could have been saved by those same heroes. As heroes, we need to do the best we can, not the impossible. Otherwise, the world of heroes will break themselves."

With that, Izuku punches Stain harshly to knock him out before he gets up. He stumbles with a dull look in his eyes as the aura disappears. The nearby heroes quickly tie up Stain and detain him. I rush over to Izuku. I grab him and pull him into as tight of a hug as I could without injuring him. He is fighting to stay awake.

"I'm right here, Izuku," I whisper to him softly. I feel his body slump against me, and I lift him up to carry him to an ambulance.

Damn it, kid.
