Geysis: I just gotten a call from Manual...We're heading over to Hosu City...

Mikoto: W-Why?

Shouto: *Raised eyebrow*

Geysis: Turns out...He boy he's interning, Iida Tenya had gone missing....

Shouto:.....

Mikoto:....Oh Fuck. (Iida-kun...What have you gotten yourself into now...)

But something in Mikoto's gut told him that he already knew...

-Meanwhile-

Tenya gulped as he finally made back to Hosu City...He felt sorry for leaving Manual, even though he knows the Pro-Hero will probably look for him.

He knows what he had to do....

He don't care what he doing was crazy...

Iida: Brother...

-Flashback-

Tensei: Promise me, little brother. Promise me that you'll be Ingenium. For me, and for all who rely on our help....

Tenya gulped a little, fresh tears falling off his glasses as he gathered the energy to to at least nod.

Iida: I'll do it, brother. I'll become Ingenium for you.

Tensei: Thank you Tenya...

-End Flashback-

Iida: I'll become Ingenium. And I'll get justice by taking down the Hero Killer for you brother...

-Meanwhile-

It was night time...

Once arriving in Hosu City, it's almost like a sense of dread and suspense had combined. Ridiculing the city into a dark place...

No one was out of the streets at night.

People were in their homes, doors locked up and window bolted shut.

Mikoto didn't like this at all...but one of his friends (even though Iida is in another class) is missing and he's possibly going after Stain.

Mikoto: (That idiot...I know he's upset about what happened to his brother, but going on a suidical mission after the man for revenge is like he's asking to die!)

Geysis: Alright. We made it to Hosu City. I'm giving you two express permission to search for your Iida Tenya. You are to engage only for extraction. I don't need one of you two acting the heroes yet. Find your classmate, call me, and get to a big street. Stain attacks have been focused in alleyways, so it's doubtful he'll pursue you two on the streets.

They both nodded, as Geysis gave his comrades permission.

Geysis: Night, go north throughout the city.

Night: Yes sir!

Geysis: Fross and Koru, head south.

Fross: Okay!

Koru: Of course....

Geysis: Shouto and Mikoto. Stick together to and go east. I'll continue west and try to look for Manual.

Mikoto: Yes Geysis-Sensei!

Shouto only nodded...

Geysis: If you encounter any other heroes, tell them what's happening and that I have given you permission to be On. Your. Own. Now...Good luck...and don't DIE!

With that, they scattered...

Doing what they are told, Mikoto and Shouto headed east. Using the small radio in their ears. They begin to communicate with each other by carefully looking through alleyways.

Mikoto: Found him yet?

Shouto: No...Not even the Hero Killer...

Mikoto: Remember. We cannot engage in combat with the man...He's extremely dangerous... Geysis-Sensei's orders.

Shouto: I know Yukimura.

A vein popped on Mikoto's head.

Mikoto: I told you to call me Mikoto, Zuko!

Shouto: I call you Mikoto when you stop calling me Zuko....Snowflake.

Mikoto had the sudden urge to strangle his cousin. But stopped in his tracks when he noticed something off in the distance of the alleyway nearby...

There was a flash of sliver. Mikoto then remembered only one person in Izuku's classmates would wear silver armor.

Mikoto: Is that Iida-kun?!

Shouto: Mikoto...What's wrong? You went quiet of a sudden.

Mikoto: Shouto! I need backup! I think I found them!

Shouto: I'm on my way...I'll listen to the sounds of your voice.

Mikoto: Roger! (Even though no one says that anymore.)

Mikoto sneakily creepy down the alleyway and there they're were.

Iida Tenya was one the ground brutally injured with blood coming out.

The second figure was the man that will strike fear into Mikoto's heart when he got an good grimace of his bloodlust.

The second figure was an intimidating, muscular man who posture was in a distinct hunch, and has a flat, somewhat triangular face with no nose; he removed it himself, and a very long tongue, tainted with numerous small bumps. He had long black hair which he wears in a messy fashion; with a raggedy cloth for an headband/mask, and small blood red eyes with tiny irises.

Mikoto: (That's him...the Hero Killer Stain!)

Iida: (Why am I on the floor? Why can't I act? I can't even lift a finger against him. Is my resolve, my anger... not enough? Am I... not strong enough?)

Stain: You and you're brother are just fakes.

Iida: SHUT UP! HOW DARE YOU TAKE EVERYTHING MY BROTHER HAS WORKED HARD FOR?! WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!! How... How can you call yourself someone who wishes to better society... when you resort to such crude and violent methods to enact your terror!

Iida had protested with a snarl, but the bloodstained man only hummed in thought with an equally hateful gaze.

Stain: People with power don't listen to those who don't act, little boy... in a society that is slowly crumbling, the population can't say anything against the hero regulation system, because All Might is the only person that is capable of holding our society together... people who call themselves heroes can only follow his lead without any initiative to actually help. Both this sham-filled society... and the criminals who wield their power in the name of petty mischief... are targets of my purge... All for the sake of a better society...

Mikoto:........

Iida:......Is that it?... Is that the only reason that you have to take the lives of others... to spread a message?!

Stain: sn't that what acts of terrorism are about? We resort to such methods because the heroes have no choice but to look in our direction if we were to take something from them." Iida's jaw hurt and throbbed painfully, his teeth grated as he kept in his screams of frustration and sadness. All he could do was breathe... breathe with the hatred he held within him fogging his breath as the light of hope within his eyes burned out, only resentment and the thirst for vengeance remaining.

Iida: What you did to my brother is despicable. The damage you had caused to his spine crippled him!

Mikoto can hear him cry out, his voice dripping with venom and boiling hatred.

Iida couldn't forgive the man, no matter the situation, he was more than aware of his twisted morals despite his seemingly genuine ideals towards Heroism.

Stain: Perhaps I gave him an opportunity to rethink of his values as a hero in this society.

Mikoto: (He said that so plainly as if the topic of Iida's brother's injury was something that he could really care less about...What a cruel man...)

Iida:... He'll never get to be a hero again... All because he doesn't fit your warped and twisted image of what a hero should be?!

Stain: Silence. People like you disgust me.

Stain pulls out his blade which was coated in Iida's blood.

Mikoto: (Oh God...I have to do something...Iida is about to be killed!)

As if a miracle happens, Deku was now standing above him in a fist stance with green lighting sprouting through him.

Mikoto: (IZUKU?!!!)

Iida: Midoriya-kun! What are you doing here?!

Deku: Rescuing you! Do you know what his quirk is?

Mikoto had noticed there was another figure on the ground gravely injured as well but still alive....

Mikoto: (Manual is there too! Oh God...Shouto... Geysis-Sensei...Please get here soon...)

Iida: H-He got some paralyzing quirk, I think? I saw him use it on me before after getting to Manual-san! The only other thing in common was that he cut us both and licked the blood...

Licked the blood?

Mikoto frowned, that doesn't sound good. Is this what Stain use to get closer to his victims.

Mikoto: (It must be how his quirk works...)

Stain: Another brat had comes to play. Nice blow, though it won't do you any good. Didn't think I would get three tonight. Dumb, greedy children pretending to be heroes.

Then he looks at Izuku.

Stain: Tell me boy...Why do you want to become a hero. What's your purpose?

Mikoto: (From his words, Is he wishing for the better type of hero?)

Deku thought for a moment for the right words before talking.

Deku: I want to save people. You saw through my declaration right? At the Sports Festival. All Might had told me once, butting one's nose into other people's business is one of the principles of being a hero!

The Killer was lost in thoughts before smirking menacingly.

Stain: You are right...But none of you can be like All-Might....Only he can kill me...

He lunged for Izuku with killer intent...

Before the boy could even move.

An miracle happened.

A snow wall appears guarding Izuku from the blade!

Iida: S-Snow?!

Deku: Is that...?

Mikoto had made his appearance before them as Stain jumped back dodging every waves of snow hitting the ground before snarling....

Stain: Another greedy child? What do you want?!

Mikoto: (I can't believe I'm gonna face off aganist a villain. I'm sorry Geysis-Sensei...I know you told me not to interfere but...not while Manual, my best friend, and his classmates' lives on the line!)...So you're the Hero Killer.

Stain: Yes...That be me~! Child of the Yuki-Onna.

Mikoto: (H-How does know who I am-?!...Oh right...the Festival...)

Stain: Unlike your mother, you're just another future fake.

Mikoto flinched at that.

Stain: I heard so many things about you. What a pitiful child...You strive to get out of your Mother's shadow. But you refuse to see the true ideals of a hero. You grew up in jealousy and mock the potential of an actual hero. You don't deserve it. Unless you want to have a painful death. LEAVE.

Mikoto:.....No.

Deku: M-Miichan?

Stain: Didn't you hear me child? I said leave. Don't make me say it a third time.

Mikoto:....and I said NO.

The blade was raised...Iida gasped before screaming.

Iida: NOOOO! YUKIMURA-KUN! PLEASE LEAVE! YOU TOO MIDORIYA-KUN! DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR LIVES LIKE THIS!

Mikoto gritted his teeth before shouting.

Mikoto: I should say the same to you, Asshole!

Iida:....

Mikoto then looked back at Stain. He'll deal with Tenya later.

Mikoto: What you're doing is wrong.

Stain:......

Mikoto: I agree with you...that there are some heroes...who don't deserve to be heroes at all.

Stain grinned but Mikoto continued.

Mikoto: The main problem with your ideal for a hero, I think it's this. It's the expectation that all heroes should be selfless. So the thing is...You want people to be like All Might or Izuku and run into danger no matter what to help others simply to help others. Now, that's an amazing trait to have. It is also insane and brave but also stupid. That type of attitude have gotten both of them nearly killed multiple times, but that's a different rate entirely....

Stain:....

Deku: (Miichan...)

Iida: (Yukimura-kun...)

Mikoto: Point is, most people aren't like that. Most people would want some kind of reward for risking their life, be it money or the praise of the general public. Is this really selfish? Yeah, a bit, but it's also reasonable because heroes in this world are basically fancy cops. And what do real cops get for being cops? Probably nothing but get paid! But what about saving children. Some of these heroes have kids! If you kill their parents, you're just causing more pain for everybody! In reality, your just making things worse than it already is! None of those heroes deserve to DIE!

Stain:.......

Deku: (I never seen Miichan looked so angry before...)

Iida: (This isn't good...They need to leave...)

Stain: I guess I was wrong about you, boy. You're not as greedy or naive as those other children are. You would've became a great hero...

The blade was raised once again.

The killer intent had risen.

Mikoto's eyes went wide.

Iida: (Oh-no....)

"If you hadn't cross paths with me."

Stain charged.

Deku: MIICHAN!!!!!!
