Sometimes people are lead astray by ideals. Sometimes an ideal is all that keeps someone going. Sometimes people take an ideal and live it down to the letter. Sometimes those ideals are not right in the first place. I have no reason to judge. But remember one thing. When it comes to living out your ideals, my family is Off Limits

Hosu, Japan

As I wake up, I notice two things, 1: The streets are unusually quiet. And 2: The feeling of dread hangs in the air like impending doom. "Crimson! The Hero Killer's struck again!" I hear my dad yell from the living room. As I sit up, Realize exactly what he said. Jumping out of bed, I sprint to the living room and turn towards the TV. "Last night, another hero's life has been claimed by "the Hero Killer" Stain. This time it was a young hero by the name of The Tunneler. This recently debuted hero was found at 5:45 this morning with multiple wounds on his person. These wounds have been liked to the Hero Killer. There was also a message that entailed a threat towards the beloved Hero known as Phantom Blade. Unfortunately, the police did not give us any more information regarding the matter." The reporter says. My hand drifts towards my mask as a snarl forms on my face. "Now hold your horses, son. I know that your angry, but I'm pretty sure that your mother is more than capable of handling anything that killer throws at her." My father says.

You see, my dad is a vigilante from America. His real name is James, but he goes by Jesse Mccree. He met my mom when they were studying abroad in France. My mom is a Irish native. Her father was from Germany, but she was born in Ireland. My parent got married in America, after my mother got her international Hero's license in Ireland. After that, they moved to Japan because my mother thought that there would be less crime to stop. She was wrong. Since her debut in Japan, she's quickly risen the ranks to become tied with "Best Jeanist" as the #4 Hero. Although she doesn't mind the press, she constantly refuses to tell her identity to the public, always saying, "It's a strategic move. This way villains can't ambush me by finding private information" when asked about it. She's not in it for the money or fame, just to support her, my father, and me.

As night falls on Hosu city, I grab my mask and my gear. Tonight, the hero killer dies. Before I can step outside, one of Kurogiri's warp gates appears below me, causing me to fall through. When I land, I'm on a water tower on a rooftop. I turn around and see Hand Fetish and Kurogiri standing, watching as three Nomu's leave to cause havock in the city. "Alright, what the hell is going on." I snarl. "Crimson, we need you to cause a bit of a commotion within the city." Kurogiri says. "Oh, I got a commotion in mind." I say angrily. "You can't kill the Hero Killer." Hand Fetish says angrily, scratching at his neck. "Just try and stop me." I say, growling before jumping off the top of the building. As I fall, I warp the wall of the building the make a ramp for me, and I end up soaring in the direction of where my parent's apartment is.

As I land on the ground, I notice the sound of fighting coming from a nearby alleyway. Fire and Ice shooting from it tells me pretty much all I need to know. I slip on my mask and take out two of my knives. One has several wide notches along the spine and the other is a simple Seax blade. I charge into the alleyway, leaping over who looks to be Ingenium 2.0 cosplaying as Ingenium. "Who the hell is that!?" I hear All Might 2.0 yell out in shock. A moment's analysis reveals three people seemingly incapable of moving. Ingenium 2.0, All Might 2.0 and the pro hero Native. "I don't know who you are, but if you interfere with this fight, I'll have to cut you down as well." Stain says with a frown on his face.

I don't respond and instead prepare to charge with my blades in hand. "So be it, all the false heroes will fall and nobody will stop me." Stain says before charging. I duck under a slash from his katana and flip backwards to gain some distance. My feet hit the wall of the alley and I kick off, shooting at the hero killer. I slash at his elbow with my Seax and catch the blade of his katana within the notches of my dagger. A quick flick of my wrist breaks his guard as I shoot past him. I land and immediately shoot back towards the Hero Killer with both of my blades poised to attack or defend.he quickly draws a second blade and our steel clashes. "You. You're different from the others. You actually have the intent to kill in your eyes. I wonder what your true self is like." The Hero Killer inquires. The fact that he isn't worried is pissing me off. "I'll give you credit. You're fast, and you don't even have a speed quirk." He says, further infuriating me. Suddenly, he disappears and reappears behind me. My eyes widen as his Katana bears down on my nape, before a smirk appears on my face. I duck down and roll to the side, dodging his strike before I bounce to my feet and throw my seax at him. He dodges and charges forward, slashing at my face. But I catch it with my dagger again and form a rapier out of part of a nearby gutter. "This dagger is much different than what you carry." I say as I keep his blade locked in place, my voice concealed by a voice changer. "It's called a sword breaker. Allow me to show you why." I continue before quickly hammer fisting the side of his katana's blade, snapping the poorly maintained weapon in two. This will be the end of the Hero Killer.
