Dealing with Serial Killers For Dummies
Warning: there will be blood, violence, and a dash of bodily dismemberment in this chapter so proceed with caution. If you're into all of that, good for you, have fun.
First Person POV, Chifuyu
As if things could not get any dumber.
I'm honestly considering my uncle Tails' offer on going to live on Mobius with him and his crew. Each day that passes, I'm slowly getting to my limit with this accursed society. And my sanity is slowly but surely slipping away. It be a matter of time before my Pokemon turns my bedroom into a padded cell and get me sized for a straitjacket.
I guess I should probably explain what happened this time.
It started off like this.
My friends and I were at the mall in Hosu City, there was a big sale going on in my and Rico's comic book store featuring some of our favorite manga titles, and there was also a few arcades me and the others wanted to hit up and chill out in.
But those plans came to an unexpected halt thanks to a couple of Ghost-type Pokemon I sent to watch over Uncle Colress and Uncle Tails while they were on patrol with their group.
I jumped out of my skin when Dusknoir and Gengar popped up from a shadow on the floor in the mall corridor.
"Sweet Mother of Sinnoh!" I hissed, clutching the area where my heart is located. "Don't scare me like that!" My friends from UA looked on in both surprise and curiosity.
"Sorry, milady, but it is urgent!" Dusknoir said, his telepathic voice distressed.
"What is it?" I asked, having a bad feeling.
"It's your uncle Colress and Tails." My heart sank at Gengar's uncharacteristically serious face and words. "The Hero Killer is confronting him and his squad!"
Oh hell no. Not on my watch. A dark aura swelled around me, making the others begin to sweat nervously.
"Guys." I placed Nezuko into Rico's hands. The Poison-type seems to like him the most. "Watch her. I'm going on a errand. I'll be back in a bit..."
I then walked off.
I heard Nonon say to the others, "Well, I hope whoever pissed her off had lived a full life and hope for mercy from the gods. Because chances are she's not gonna give them any..."
How right she was...
POV Switch 3rd Person, No One
"NO MATTER THE COUNTRY OR ORIGIN ALL OF YOU ARE A BUNCH OF FAKES!!!" Stain was shouting while staring down the UA students, Native, and the heroes of Mobius.
"I'm sorry, everyone..." Amy wheezed out, paralyzed and bleeding from the cuts, her blood matting her pink hair.
"We all have our off days, Rose..." Knuckles replied, forced down on one knee, his entire body forcefully locked into place.
Iida was beside himself with self-pity, berating himself for his foolish actions. "This is all my fault! If I hadn't acted so selfishly, I wouldn't have endangered everyone!"
"All of you only care about fortune and fame!" Stain continued his spiel swinging his blade. He pointed his blade at the downed Miles "Tails" Prower, who was being held by Colress, who had also has his share of wounds and was barely able to move. "And since you two are so adamant on fighting, I'll end you both here and now!" He then rushed at them.
"NO!!!" Everyone screamed. Colress shut his eyes, awaiting his fate to unfold, hoping that he would at least buy the others time to get his brother out.
But there was a solid clang, as if metal crashed against metal.
Opening his eyes, he saw a sword had intercepted Stain's attempt to kill him.
Everyone looked up simultaneously when a female figure leapt through the sky before landing on her feet and grabbing the hilt of her sword, pointing the blade at Stain. She stood guard between him and her fallen uncles, effectively blocking the killer from getting to them.
"Nanami-San!"/"Chifuyu-chan!" A growl erupted from her throat at the greeting but she didn't bother looking at them.
She rushed at him, making him skid backwards as she pushed against him harshly with her blade against his own. This took him by surprise as she was quite small compared to him, even as he was slouching.
"So another fake hero appears," Stain sneers, regaining his footing.
She chuffed at him, angling her blade so her red eyes reflected on the blade of her katana. "Wrong. I'm a mere civilian."
Her red eyes glowed menacingly, catching everyone except for Colress and Tails by surprise by the intensity.
"A civilian that you shouldn't have screwed with."
Stain advances toward her, not realizing the danger he is potentially putting himself in. Chifuyu glared at him, brandishing her katana at her opponent, just like her senpai Peko have taught her.
"Chifuyu-chan!" Midoriya screamed. But his calls went ignored.
She gave Stain a cursory once-over. "So this is the so-called Hero Killer everyone is gushing about these days?" She gave an unladylike snort. "I'm not impressed."
While she was talking, Gardevoir appeared and moved the injured Mobius heroes away from reaching distance of Stain.
Chifuyu's words angered Stain, wounding his ego. "Do you know who I am, little girl? I am Stain the Hero Killer!"
He tried to slash down at her, only for her to leap up and kick him in the back of his head. He was taken off guard so he ended up face planting into the cement below.
She merely rolled her eyes as he struggled to get back up. "I've seen better mass murderers on TV than you. You're merely amateur hour at best. Why those heroes have trouble catching the likes of you is beyond me. Then again, the way they all depend on All Might to do their jobs, I guess I shouldn't be surprised."
As if she had triggered something, Stain began another "sermon" raising his arms and waving them up and down. "Only All Might is the real hero! I will not be stopped! This society will be purged of all of these counterfeit heroes!" He took no notice of her face darkening at the mention of the Number One Hero.
Uh-oh.
"You...." Her tone was nothing short of dangerous, meaning that he is now walking on eggshells and should tread carefully. "Who the hell made you god?" She snarled, pointing her blade at him, her eyes still hidden from view at the moment.
"And this is her way of saying 'explain yourself'." Tails muttered to the other Mobius heroes, all of them knowing full well this is not going to end well no matter Stain's choice.
"The word hero must be restored! Someone needs to get rid of these fakes no matter the location. The only true hero is All Might!" And of course, like any other zealot Chifuyu has come across, failed to see this as a chance to rethink things.
"And he blew it..." The other Bygone heroes only shook their heads, knowing that Stain had dug his own grave, and he's about to lie in it. Perhaps literally depending on how Chifuyu was feeling.
"Of all the things..." She muttered.
"Hah?" Stain looked confused. "Nani? Wanna run that by me again?"
"Of all the things to go after, you chose fakes that still do their jobs of saving other people's lives?" She looked up, her face expressionless. "You could have targeted pedophiles, rapists, sex offenders, even human traffickers, and yet you chose these meaningless idiots over the actual scum of the earth." She glared harshly. "The real actual muderers who deserve to be purged. You make me sick with your hypocrisy. Even Genocider Jack has better priorities than you do."
He bristled at the name of his competition. "Don't compare me to that simple-minded wretch!" He recklessly slashed down at her. He blinked in surprise as his blade got stuck in the concrete, the girl nowhere in sight.
The others looked up in time to see her airborne, her eyes blank with killer intent as she spiraled down towards Stain from behind, her blade swinging in a deadly yet beautiful arc.
Then it happened.
It happened almost as if it was in slow motion. One moment, his arm holding his blade was there. The next, it was practically sliced off, blood spraying on the walls and concrete.
The others, namely Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida, felt themselves turn green from the sight of the girl decapitating the killer's arm. Tails and a few of the members of the Mobius heroes only winced (except for Shadow and Silver as they were more than used to bloodshed before they became part of the group), as Colress didn't look even slightly fazed.
The shock overtook the pain of losing his arm as Stain tried to register what just happened. Taking advantage of his shock, Chifuyu kicked the dismembered arm a short distance before landing back in front of Stain, her back to him. Just in time for him to become infuriated as pain coursed through his body.
"You dare slice my arm off...." he snarled, as he clutched where his shoulder was once was if only to stop the geyser of blood coming out of the stump.
Chifuyu only mocked him openly looking over her shoulder, not the bit bothered by the gory mess she had made. "You dare to attack my family." She placed her own blade on her shoulder, looking bored now.
"You shouldn't have left yourself open like that. I will always attack without mercy or hesitation when I see the chance." She stated as if she were stating facts.
"You little brat!" He charged at her in a blind rage, which she retaliated with a strong kick to his face, sending him to a wall, the force making a few cracks appear as he slid down to the ground.
She walked up to him, his knife in her other hand, her aura becoming thicker and full of bloodlust as she walked up to him.
"Now I got some common sense for you." She was interrupted as a winged Nomu had appeared and grabbed Midoriya in an attempt to kidnap him. Her response? She merely threw Stain's knife without looking, and caught the biological abomination in the eye and into its brain, making it crash back down to the ground.
"Anyone else wanna interrupt me?" She asked rhetorically, her aura still menacing if not more so now.
Right at that moment Endeavour's sidekicks showed up.
"Of fucking course." She sighed in exasperation, almost facepalming at the inopportune moment.
"The Hero Killer!" Endeavor yelled. "I'll stop you!"
"Get in line. I was here first, Fire-crotch." Everyone present choked on their spit at her casual insult.
Chifuyu grabbed the tuft of hair on Stain's head, slamming it into the wall, making him gasp in pain.
His eyes shrank in terror at the amount of killing intent she held as her red eyes glowed ominously at him like the devil incarnate was ready to kill him. "W-what is this?! Is this child even human?! So much bloodlust for her age!!"
"So you kill heroes because there are heroes that work to get money and fame? Well news flash. Congratulations on finding out something that exists in every fucking workplace!" Everyone, civilian and hero alike, stopped to listen to her. Some even brought their phones out to record this live.
"Here's a little life lesson for you, from a child to a damn grownup. ALL jobs, no exception, have their bad eggs. It could be manipulative people who use others to get in higher positions or because the job has a high pay grade, not everyone likes what they do, and being a pro-hero is the same damn thing as a job, so why shouldn't they get paid. Even back in the Pre-Quirk era there were people like firemen and police officers that got a paycheck for their jobs unless they were volunteering. Even then they had to make a living did they not? It's the same damn thing, despite all the glitz and glamour others flaunt out."
She then grabbed the front of his shirt, lifting higher than her head, so his terrified face could be easily seen as a girl half his size easily lifted him that high. "Let's get another thing straight. You wanna purify this society, but you are no better than the fakes you claim to purge from this world, all because you put all of your bias on one damn thing, and that just has to be All Might." She made it an exclusive point to bare her teeth at the name, which did not go unnoticed by everyone present. "So in your pea-sized brain no one is allowed to be unique all because they are not All Might. A real paragon of virtue you truly are. All Might this, All Might that. That's what is wrong with society. Aside from fuckers like you it is this ridiculous worship of the smiling garbage bag. He is still a human, you know. But you lot always look at him like he's some gift from the gods when he is practically no better than the rest of you sheep. But you know what? I'm through talking about this, as I'm sure your brain is probably overcooked from all of this denial you got going on. But I'll end it with this," she got really close to his face. "We cross paths again, you'll lose more than just an arm. Got it?"
Without waiting for a response, she shoved him away by throwing him upward before leaping into the air herself, delivering a powerful axe kick knocking him out as his body got stuck from the impact.
She turned to the heroes and cops (the ones that weren't busy with recovering Midoriya, that is), her enraged scowl still on her normally cherubic face. "Get this fucker out of my sight." She snarled, making some of them flinch save for Colress and Tails.
One cop was dumb enough to approach her and try to arrest her. "While we see that you were merely defending yourself, you still used your Quirk unauthorized. You will have to-"
"News flash, jag-off," Chifuyu cut him off, her eyes now full of exasperation as she talked back. "What you guys just saw was just pure skill with a sword. No Quirk was used, and if you don't believe me, ask them." She pointed to Tails and Colress, who were now sitting up as the paralysis had worn off by then and Gardevoir had used heal pulse on them before she disappeared from sight before the heroes showed up.
Colress spoke up. "It's true. She's my goddaughter, so I would know." Tails nodded alongside him.
Everyone else looked on in a mix of awe and fear as Chifuyu stormed off, flicking the blood off her katana on the way out before sheathing it back into its scabbard.
What she didn't see was Endeavor staring at her as she left the scene.
Timeskip
Sometime later that day, the event that unfolded in the alley in Hosu City spread like wildfire, even before it hit the news channel outlets it was already trending on multiple websites.
"Reports say that the Hero Killer was spotted in Hosu City around the same time the Nomu attacks had commenced in the same vicinity..."
"Authorities have apprehended both the monsters and the Pro-Hero known as Endeavour had already detained Stain the Hero Killer..."
"Are the League of Villains and the Hero Killer in cahoots...?"
"This video shows the moment a civilian literally giving him a lecture... and a one-sided beatdown to boot..."
"Even if his ideals were thought-provoking, when it comes down to it, he was murdering others over something that should be considered common sense..."
"Here's what the lady of the hour had to say..."
"Yeah, I don't see why he was so feared even after all of that.... in the end he was just an obsessive fanboy with a fancy blade..."
"This was followed up by her parental guardian commenting..."
"While we are on the subject, if someone shows up here trying to claim something or trying to get attention through my niece please ignore him. And perhaps call the authorities if he gets persistent..."
"Nothing else was said after this...."
Meanwhile in a certain bar, a certain crusty guy began to scratch his neck in frustration. Kurogiri just stayed in the background, offering no comment, though he could see Dabi and Toga watching the video that had gone viral some time ago, and he knew that their perspective on Stain had changed thanks to the pinkette...
Timeskip brought to you by Lady Sneasler carrying Chifuyu around like a kit while Warden Ingo just watches...
Chifuyu was with her remaining classmates along with Gen Ed. Some of her classmates, along with some of her senpai, were doing their own interns, but not with heroes. Some, like Teruteru got a internship with one of the famous culinary chefs of the nation. Shuichi and Kirigiri got recommended by some detective agency in Yokohama. Maki and Mukuro were asked by Mine's commanders to join them for an internship since they were awed by their combat prowess in the Sports Festival (despite it ending in a tie). Others like Miu were called upon some notable support companies (mostly thanks to Colress and his own personal network) to intern with them.
Unfortunately for Chifuyu and a lot of the others they were in UA even though the hero course is still out on interns.
"For once they are lucky bastards since they don't come back until next week," she groused to herself as she was forced to listen to everyone's prattling about the Hero Killer Stunt, which is what everyone had generally decided to dub the debacle that had made many headlines.
She pinched the bridge of her nose as she tried to avoid people as they tried to ask her about the Hero Killer.
"Here we go again with the unnecessary attention..." She sighed, wishing she had just called sick for the entire week as she hated this.
"Upside is," Goodra tried to find the silver lining, "At least everyone isn't on the Hero Killer's side of things and are seeing the bad side of the obsessive bloodsucker..."
"Maybe so, but the sad part of it is there are still people who believe he was right," Chifuyu pointed out tiredly. "While I admit that nobody knows the real definition of a hero since it had been used so loosely since the idea of heroics became a thing, it still doesn't excuse him as he was basing his entire agenda on one man..."
"For someone who wanted to make things right, he was just another mindless hypocrite when his so-called 'standards' became biased," Typhlosion said, the others agreeing with him.
Chifuyu just sighed, pulling the hood of her hoodie over her head, if only to block out the sight of the Gen Ed students looking at her and trying to deafen the sounds of their whispering.
She really misses Maki right now as she would always scare them off with just one glare.
"When will this day end...?"
"...In six hours, forty-five minutes, and twelve seconds," Uxie answered.
"Balls in a Vice-Grip!"
Timeskip brought to you by a sleeping Ursaluna...
"So how's everyone holding up after the Stain thing?" Amu asked at the end of the day, her Charas out floating around her.
The reason why they hadn't shown up before is that Amu doesn't like the attention she gets when students see them. And her Charas, named Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia, aren't fond of other people poking and prodding them needlessly. So they hide themselves in their eggs that Amu keeps in her school bag.
They do get along with Chifuyu's baby Pokemon, keeping most of them out of trouble when Chifuyu brings them out. Nezuko especially seems to like them.
"My uncles were fine thankfully," Chifuyu responded. "Same with the rest of Uncle Tails' group..." She was so tired right now. After a long and stressful day, the group she now hangs out with have managed to survive.
"A few of them had to get some stitches and examinations to make sure they weren't infected by Stain's sword since he had cut so many people with that and licked their blood off of it." Amu shuddered, thinking all of the possible germs and diseases that could have infected them with that blade. She highly doubted the guy actually cleaned the blade between kills and attacks....
"Thankfully," Chifuyu continued, "they all got a clean bill of health, so all they got to do is rest and recover..."
"So," Rico spoke up. "What was that all about with your auntie and Endeavor?"
Flashback Time...
After rendezvousing with her aunt, she forced Colress and Tails along with the group to go straight to the hospital; despite their protests, they ended up giving in when Chifuyu pointed out that Stain's blades are more than likely not clean and she had heard more than enough stories about people contracting bloodborne diseases because of cases like this. And she rather not lose any of her relatives or godparents to such a fate.
Like she stated to her friends later, the injuries were thankfully treatable and not anything permanent. Meaning that they could all go home and rest like the doctors recommended they do.
Unfortunately, there was the police, who had appeared so they could take testimonies on the incident, with Endeavour tagging along.
A bad feeling began to bubble in Chifuyu's gut when he spoke in a demanding tone that he spoke to her guardian.
It wasn't even five minutes past when they left the room before Chifuyu and the others heard her aunt's strident voice echoing through the hallways in the hospital.
"Listen here you flaming garbage bag!" Some of Chifuyu's friends (who have come to see her when they caught wind that she was in the hospital along with her uncle and godfather and have shown up to check on her) stepped behind her in slight fear as they heard her aunt's voice. "If you make another proposition like that, you can kiss the ass of your hero career good-bye! Same goes to your little so-called masterpiece!"
Chifuyu hurried to stand outside the room the two were in, one of her hands holding two Pokeballs containing her Samurott and Alpha Floatzel inside, as he was more than capable of taking on Endeavour if it came to blows. Hell, she'll even whip out her Alpha water-types to make things even.
She watched as Endeavour left in a silent rage, his flames becoming bigger as he passed by her. He spared her one glance before he left as he caught sight of Chichi's glare.
Flashback Ends
"Not sure," Chifuyu shrugged. She tried to ask her Alakazam but he was oddly tightlipped about the matter, making Chifuyu suspicious on why. "She didn't want to tell me for some reason...."
"Well at least you were all right," Ichigo said with relief. "I was so scared when we heard from some people on the street that you were there."
"That is, before we saw the live feed," Nonon said, recalling how she got a message from her former classmate Inumuta Houta about a video going live on many feeds making her and the group tune in to see Chifuyu give a lecture to the killer vigilante and beat him to the ground.
"The way you put that guy in ground was so cool!" Rico bounced up and down, some of his liveliness coming back despite the long day he had endured with the others.
"The fact you did all of that without a Quirk speaks volumes of how strong you are," Lucy said, as she was quite impressed with the display of power.
"Yeah," Chifuyu grumbled, "it unfortunately attracted unnecessary attention by so many other people... I only did what I did because my family was in danger. And his obsessive tendencies were nothing short of stupid and I just couldn't stomach it." She kicked a stray can out of her way in slight frustration.
"Honestly though," Mine spoke up as a thought occured to her right at that moment. "His obsession with All Might made him look like..." Her eyes widened along with everyone else's as they simultaneously came upon the same conclusion as Mine.
"He was Midoriya with a knife..." Chifuyu mumbled, her eyes wide with realization.
"We know," Sneasler spoke up with a deadpan expression.
"He was Midoriya with a knife...." Chifuyu repeated in a normal tone.
"We know...." Arcanine began to growl in slight irritation as she was beginning to sound like a broken-minded Chatot.
"He was Midoriya with a knife!!" She nearly shouted as she clenched a raised fist with a pulsing tick mark on it as her eyes became fully white with anger.
"WE KNOW!!!" Her Pokemon all but shouted in unison, all of them exasperated at this point. Even Nezuko looked annoyed as she let out a few mewls before nipping Chifuyu's ear in annoyance.
Meanwhile Rico and the others sweatdropped at their friend's actions.
She's weird but at least she's a good person....
AAAANNNNNDDD Scene!!!
Sorry if this one seemed short, but I hoped you enjoyed this update. It didn't take me as long as the Sports Festival Arc (thank Sinnoh) but I hope I covered the good stuff. And the reason why I didn't stick Chifuyu in the same room with Midoriya and the others is because she was not in the right mindset to deal with them as she was very pissed that they put her family in danger, and they are lucky she didn't rip into them right then and there.
At least for now...
And also, take a wild guess on what Endeavour's "proposition" was....
If you figure it out, congratulations, you get a cookie!
So yeah, that's it for now, and I hoped you enjoyed!
Please comment (though keep it nontoxic and please no flames. Or I'll have to sick Infernape on you) and let me know what you lot think!
Though if you don't like it, then see yourself out. We got opinions but I rather not have another fight with someone over my story content.
Ja ne!
