Chapter 32: To Save a Hero
OH FUCK ME NOT AGAIN ALREADY FUCK FUCK FUCK
"So, did he brainwash you, Deku?"
Izuku swallowed hard.
"How'd he do it?"
It wasn't supposed to be like this. How did he know it was us?!
"Since you aren't taking down your hood, I know it's you then."
Katsuki smirked.
I could kill him- Tenko thought angrily but left his gloves on.
Tomura removed his hood first then Izuku followed suit. It might not have been the smartest thing they could do but running would've just pissed him off. It was better to stall for time than anything.... anything to avoid a big fight to warn other heroes even if it was three am.
"There's no saving this sack of shit."
Izuku's friendly aura switched to deadly. Tomura could literally feel the hate coming of the hero in waves.
"Watch what you say," Izuku warned through clenched teeth.
I don't know if I'm scared or aroused at this point.... probably both, Tomura thought hoping his cheeks didn't display his shame of dirty thoughts.
"Or what Deku? We are heroes. You can't save a villain. Once a villain, always a fucking villain. All of them are always going to be shit."
"How would you know that?" Tomura asked rolling his eyes.
"They tried killing us more than once! What the fuck do you care? What are they to you?" Katsuki asked stepping closer.
"My family. My fiance."
The blonde man's jaw dropped. He had no expected that kind of an answer. The shock on his face was rather hilarious to Tomura.
"What?"
Did he just hear that right?
"I love Tomura Shigaraki."
"You're shitting me- wait this is the guy you liked over me?" he asked.
He wasn't jealous..... how could Izuku want a villain over him of all people? Hell Denki was better than Tomura.
"Yea, I am. I saw you touch his ass. I've been meaning to break your fucking arm like a twig for that," Tomura hissed angrily.
"This is for real?"
Izuku nodded confidently. Bakugou sighed.
"I guess I'll just beat his ass and rescue you then."
"Don't touch him," the hero hissed angrily.
Tomura didn't like that sound coming from his fiance's mouth. There was something much more evil those words. It didn't sound like him.
"Get back, Tenko," he whispered darkly.
Shigaraki took a few steps back.
"You can't protect him. Last time you got hurt. How are you even moving after that?" Katsuki asked.
He was actually curious but he was taunting him too. What was going on wasn't right to him. It was unnatural.
Time to finish this.
Katsuki had the audacity to fire his famous AP shot at Tomura. Shigaraki managed to move out of the way but it was the wrong move.
It was the wrong thing to do.
Izuku let out an inhuman scream as his hoodie was tattered into pieces as Black Whip came flying out. Fifteen black whips slammed the ground around him angrily threatening the safety of everyone near him. Izuku grabbed his head trying to take some control of that quirk that wasn't his but it wasn't working.
His anger was too much now.
Katsuki had backed up. He definitely was scared of him now. He had no idea what to do and he had no idea that's Izuku's body was funneling One for All through all of them. He saw the visible fear on the villain's face but he couldn't understand why. He did once one of those weird, black tentacles hit him across the chest.
It cut through his hero costume and he started bleeding. The bleeding wasn't what bothered Katsuki, it was the weird feeling he got when it touched him. It was like all the anger in the world hit him and it made him feel nauseous. He felt like his wound was burning with fire.
He looked up to see the look on Deku's face. It was like he was no longer there.... like something evil had over taken him. It was so creepy to see him like that.... That usually cheerful face twisted into something else that scared him.
It wasn't natural.
Tomura watched Izuku attacked Katsuki over and over. He blew apart the tendrils but more would just replace what he destroyed. Katsuki jumped over him and ran in his direction. There it was. The look of absolute evil. His emerald eyes no longer sparkled. They looked almost black now and his face was pale.

"His Black Whip quirk is quite similar to yours."
Shigaraki rolled his eyes at Kurogiri.
"I don't know what that means. They're two different quirks."
"It's induced by anger."
Shigaraki said nothing. He didn't want to talk about that.
"I asked him to unleash it for me. It radiates hate and anger at unspeakable levels. It was almost scary. But then I realized why it reacts so strongly with him."
"Why then?"
"His own quirkless state. The anger he had built up over time. The way that boy treated him. The way the world treated him and perhaps the way All Might had treated him at some point. The way people thought nothing of him. Probably fear has played into it as well."
His lips twitched.
"You may have helped create that anger. You helped create that monster he has inside. Just as your father created you, you helped create the anger that resides in Izuku. One day.... it's possible he will lose control and you must be there to stop him. Evil doesn't suit him."
"Whatever."
"You'll see what I mean when the time comes. Dabi even spoke of how unnatural that power was. That it leaked hatred so much he almost felt sick. If the time comes like I said, Izuku may kill and he will be branded a villainous monster. Would you be ok with that?"

Tomura looked down at his hands.
Could I watch this unfold before me?
Maybe at one point, Tomura Shigaraki could've watched Izuku take down his childhood friend in cold blood. He would've laughed the whole fucking time while he watched the life fade from that blonde asshole but not now. Not this way. Not when he loved him so much that sometimes it physically hurt.
He would've loved to see Izuku destroy his classmates and watch the hope die from All Might's eyes as his successor was branded a murderer but it wasn't like that anymore. The evil in his eyes didn't suit that freckled face he loved to look at. The smile that made his heart skip beats was gone. All there was now was a vacant expression and blood dripping out of his mouth.
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Tomura wasn't sure what he wanted before. He wasn't sure if he wanted to be a civilian. He didn't fit that kind of life. Maybe he didn't but it would hurt a lot less than watching Izuku's sanity crumble at he descended into madness for killing Katsuki Bakugou.
He wanted to see Izuku's smile just to know he was going to be alright.
Shigaraki ripped one glove off and charged in at Izuku. He wasn't sure if anything would work but it was worth a shot. Six tendrils grabbed Katsuki and Izuku had disappeared from Shigaraki before he had the chance to do anything. They lifted the hero into the air and slammed him into the ground.
One of them swung around and Tomura grabbed it with his ungloved hand. It disappeared quickly. Izuku turned around as he grabbed another, decaying it to dust. Their eyes locked but his fiance wasn't there. He was being over run by that quirk
Tomura grabbed the next one with his gloved hand and jerked. Izuku fell onto the ground. He let out a weird hissing sound almost like an angry cat. Tomura ran up to him and threw his arms around Izuku holding his bare hand near his neck with one finger up. Izuku's body stiffened up and the black tendrils relaxed some but they kept their hold on Katsuki.
I have to finish this now.
"One day I would've wanted this but I don't want this now. I don't want this for you."
He stayed still. Neither one of them moved. Katsuki lifted his head some to look at them. The pain that was on Shigaraki's face was intense like he was going to cry.
"I know how you feel. I know what it's like to be powerless.... Quirkless.... Because I was thought to be it for a long time. I was five almost six when I found out I got mine. It wasn't pretty. I was abused by my father and he treated me horribly because of his own issues with my grandmother sacrificing her life to fight my Master."
Tenko buried his face into Izuku's neck as tears leaked out. Katsuki was forced to hear it all.
"All I ever wanted was to be a hero but I wasn't allowed to talk about it. My mother.... my grandparents just stood by while he beat me. Locked me outside. Locked me in the basement. No stood up for me. They watched while it happened. I just wanted to be happy."
He sobbed into Izuku's neck, holding onto his tattered hoodie with his gloved hand.
"I wanted to be a hero just like you did. I wanted to be one just like All Might. One night it was so bad all because I saw her picture and he hurt me badly. Locked me outside... I didn't mean to kill the dog. All my anger bubbled to the surface and my quirk was released in a rage. I killed them all. The ones I cared about."
Black Whip disappeared letting go of the hero.
"I would've never hurt them. My quirk spread without my touch and destroyed everything. The only person I actually killed was my father. I grabbed his face. It pissed me off so much I couldn't control myself. I wanted him to die but when I was finished and regained some self control, it was too late. The man that had abused me viciously, I loved him. I didn't want them to die."
Tenko pulled away and retrieved his discarded glove. He put it back on and returned to Izuku. He turned his fiance around.
"The self hate I carried for years have never faded. I don't want you to be the monster than I am. I don't want you to be a killer or to be a villain. It doesn't suit you one bit. I hate Bakugou with a passion but I wouldn't want you to kill someone you slightly care about because I can't watch you suffer like that. Not ever."
The black splotches disappeared and the light returned to Izuku's bright green eyes.
"Tenko?" Izuku whispered in a slightly confused voice.
The villain lifted Izuku's face slightly to look at him.
"I'm so sorry."
He nodded as Izuku wiped his tears away.
"I'm sorry."
"No need to be."
The hero hugged him tight but his vision was getting fuzzy. It was like Black Whip ate up his energy. His knees gave out on him and fell.
"Hey! Wake up! Are you ok?!" Tomura yelled at him.
"I'm dizzy.... I feel sick."
He started coughing and he covered his face. Blood spattered onto his hands.
"What's wrong with him?" Katsuki asked.
"It's backlash. He never used it like that before."
Shigaraki dialed the one number on the throw away phone they had.
"You found him?"
"No, Izuku is down. I think Black Whip is taking it toll on him-
"I told you dumbasses not to fight!"
"We weren't going to fight damnit! I had to stop him myself!" he yelled into the phone.
"Fucking liar! You just had to go after him after I told you not too-
"Listen Dabi, I didn't do anything."
Silence.
"Ok, I believe you. What are you doing? Where are you?"
Something was moving towards them and Tomura tensed up grabbing onto Izuku for dear life.
"Who the fuck are you?!" he spat.
"Calm down Tomura!"
"S-sako?"
The dark figure came closer with his hands up in surrender. He didn't want to fight.
"Yea.... I heard you guys were looking for me. Can I ask why you're with two heroes though?"
Bakugou at least had the decency to shut his mouth for once.
"I.... I wanted to become a civilian. No more villain bullshit."
"Alright but.... What does that have to do with me?"
"Spinner wants to too. Himiko is pregnant and Twice is pretty excited. They're going to get married. Dabi is kind of hitting it off with Ochako for whatever reason-
"What the fuck?!"
"Then Dabi wants to be with his brother Shouto-
"WHAT THE FUCK-
"Kurogiri said he would follow me anywhere.... Well, I'm marrying this adorable little shit. I'm actually engaged."
Sako made a face like he couldn't believe it.
"So Mr. Compress, what do you want to do?"
He took his mask off to reveal his brown eyes and dark blue hair.
"It's just Sako now, I suppose. I don't want to be without my friends."
