We have more news about the attack on Hosu. We have identified the monsters. They are confirmed to be the same species as the one who attacked All-Might during the USJ event. They are referred to as Noumu.

The ones who took them down are, surprisingly, the hero killer, an unidentified female, and two fire quirk users, who also participated in the attack of USJ. They were assumed to be allies of the League of Villains, but that conflicts with the actions they displayed. We can confirm the relationship with the Hero Killer as the female who helped him, can also be seen assisting another one of the villains. Here is a photo taken from a security camera. It shows the unknown accomplice helping out the winged fire user escape before heroes could assess the emergency.

Did villains really save the day? Hopefully, we can clear the situation as reports continue to flood in. All we know for sure is that there is a connection between the league of Villains and The Hero Killer along with his disciples.

Dabi shut off the TV with a smirk. "Villains saving the day? I was just trying to save money." He rolled over on his couch to catch some snooze. 'But it will question the heroes' ability to act.'

Toga fell into a food coma stuffing herself with Dabi's food. "I think I have food poisoning..." She groaned.

'Serves you right...' Dabi went to sleep with a karma fueled smile.

Deku was on the roof, sitting at the edge. Stain was perched on the corner beside him, in that signature style. They both stared off into the city.

"I actually saved someone." Deku rose his fist and squeezed it.

Stain shifted his eyes to him for a moment, then back to the city. He didn't comment, but Deku expected as much. "I don't even know her name, but I think that's what made it even more important for me. I acted, only because it was the right thing to do..." Deku finished as they continued to stare off.

Stain, although Deku didn't see, had the smallest of proud smiles. It left just as quickly.

The sun was rising. Deku yawned.

"Tired?" Stain turned his head to him.

"Hm, a little, but..." Deku had an embarrassed smile. He couldn't say it outright. Stain wasn't the mushy type.

Stain turned back to the city. "It has been a while since we saw the sun rise." He only said that, because he knew Deku wanted too. At the very least, it was also significant to Stain. Deku was the only person he bothered to save. He still doesn't know why he did. The kid was lost and needed guidance. 'Although, I probably wasn't the best choice.' But nonetheless here they were.

"Yeah..." Deku's nervous smile grew sincere. "Hey Stain, so why did you kill the Noumu?"

"It got in my way."

"I-I see..." He gave an awkward laugh.

They simply enjoyed the company of the other and the sun, as the day started.

Izuku was in his villain/hero outfit. He was out in his first ever patrol. Dabi and Toga wanted no part of it. They were villains through and through, but they understood his reasoning.

He lept off a roof, soaring across the city. He landed and kept running, not missing a beat. He felt ecstatic. He was on a high. After saving her, he wanted to help others. "Even if I am labeled a villain. I know who I am."

He screeched to a stop, hearing a child's scream. He glanced down at the alley beneath the building he was on. A little girl with a horn on her forehead was running away from a man, wearing a beak shaped mask.

"This is my chance!" Deku lept down, his wings ignited and he slowly fluttered down.

The little girl hesitated, hearing a strange sound. Crackling fire, but also gentle flapping. She glanced up. The sun blocked out his appearance. She could only see a shadow radiating emerald wings.

"It's alright." He whispered landing in front of her. She instantly ran into his arms, desperate. Izuku gulped with shock. That was the first time someone treated him as hope. He narrowed his eyes. 'This girl... is covered in bandages.'

The man wearing the mask rose an eyebrow. 'A hero?' He had his hands by his side but was ready to slip off his white glove if necessary. "Eri, come over here and stop bothering the hero. I apologize, she is just overreacting as usual." He explained.

Deku was hunched down, keeping the girl in a protective grip. "How is she overreacting, if she's covered in bandages?" Izuku was gritting his teeth. Something about this guy was off.

"Oh, that? Eri has a rare medical disease. She has had countless surgeries, but the scars never left. She just wants to hide them." He was getting impatient. Heroes and quirks were a sickness.

"Why don't I believe you?"

"I have her medical records here if you would care to see, oh diligent hero. Would you like me to show him, Eri?" He was reaching into his jacket, his other hand was over his glove.

Eri turned her head back at him in fear. Her eyes paled at his implications. She broke free from Deku and ran back to him.

"B-But...?" Izuku was left dumbfounded. 'She was completely afraid, she still is..!'

"Oh, it seems your temper tantrum has stopped. Come, let's go home. Sorry for bothering you, hero." He turned around, back into the shadows of the alley.

Izuku stood. "You really think I'm just gonna abandon her!" Deku took some steps towards him. He clenched his gloves shut.

He narrowed his eyes, about to pull off his glove. 'Heroes...'

"I will protect-"

Deku was interrupted by a harsh kick to his back. Izuku grunted in pain, falling to his knees. 'Nani?' He turned his head back.

"You're one of Stain's disciples correct?!" Iida Tenya was towering over Midoriya Izuku. Under his hero's mask, his face was riddled with anger. "I will never forgive you." He had rushed over, hearing a girlish cry. He never imagined running into someone associated with Stain. This was his chance.

Izuku grew wide eyes. 'In that moment he must of-' Izuku turned back to the alley. The little girl was leaving with the mysterious man. "No!" Deku darted to his feet.

"Leave those innocent people alone!" Iida appeared in front of Deku. He assumed Deku was only going to cause more suffering, as Stain caused him. "I will not let you hurt more lives, villain!"

Eri could only look back. Her hope was being detained by a hero. 'But I thought they were the good guys...' Did that mean no one would ever save her...

"You got it all wrong! She needs help!" Izuku implored. He refused to fight Iida. He flapped his wings, trying to fly over him.

Iida ignored his words. "I will not listen to the blasphemy of a villain!" He lept off a wall then the other, reaching above Deku. He twist flipped and dropped his leg down on Deku.

'No... I'm not a villain.' He could only think as a hero suppressed him. He rocketed down, crashing onto garbage bags. 'I'm not.' He climbed out of the pile staring down the alley.

They were gone. "No! I could've saved her..."

Iida landed in front of him with his head held high. "I am Ingenium, and I will avenge my brother!"

Izuku's eyes were hollow. "I could have saved her... I was right there... She was in pain! My pain!"

Iida grew slightly anxious. Deku stood but his body was hunched forward, almost ghost-like, his arms limp. His eyes remained empty. 'Like with All-Might...'

"It's because I'm a villain. It's because I am a villain!" He clutched his forehead in despair. "I couldn't save her! A villain has no right! To protect belongs to the heroes! To take belongs to the villains!"

Iida took a step back. 'His mentality plummeted so fast?! Why?' He glanced back, recalling the two people Deku was about to attack. 'Was it that important? No, something else did this.'

"Heroes always stop the villain! Villains always stop the hero! Right or wrong? Right or wrong?! Which am I?! Which are you?! A villain, only villains seek revenge! I will stop you because I am a hero!.." He dropped his hands from his head. "Go away. Ugh!" He banged his head on the wall. "I'm not going to hurt Mom. I didn't. It wasn't me..."

Iida was growing more concerned and disturbed by the moment. 'He's crying...'

"I just wanted to save her... like a hero."

Iida shook his head. 'Don't pity him. He follows Stain. He is a villain and I must stop him.' The engine in his legs began to combust.

In a high-speed blur, Iida spun and threw a kick.

"You're the one who hurt, mom..."

Iida grew wide eyes, his kick missed. Deku had flaming green eyes and had stared directly at him.

Before the attack hit Deku, he had vanished.

Iida skidded to a stop. He glanced around, but couldn't find Deku.

The back of his skull was grabbed. Iida grew orbs under his mask. 'He's faster than me?'

He was smashed straight into the wall. Deku then ran, dragging Iida's face across the wall, shattering his mask. At the end of the alley, Deku threw him out, into the street.

Iida bounced on the sidewalk, then tumbled onto the middle of the road. He turned over on his back. His forehead was bleeding. He panted, his eyes quivered for a moment. 'He's a monster..! No wonder All-Might had trouble... and I believed I could-'

A fist straight down to his face, smashing him down. Iida's eyes rolled back. Another fist pummeled him deeper into the street. Iida's mouth began to spill blood. Another fist. Another fist. Another fist! Another! Another! More! Deku revel in it! THAT'S WHO YOU ARE, RIGHT? RIGHT! MORE! MORE! ANOTHER! ANOTHER! KILL HIM!

Cars honked and skidded around the two.

Pedestrians ran. "A villain, someone call the heroes! This one needs back up!"

Deku stopped, hearing the cry of citizens. His eyes regained consciousness. He glanced all around.

The people, they only had fear in their eyes.

"H-Huh? Where's the villain?" He felt a weight under him. His orbs grew into broken emerald shards. "A-Aghaaaa!" He stumbled back. His knuckles were red with Iida's blood. "I-I didn't do this..." He turned, scurrying up to his feet. "I'm not a villain!" He cried to the civilians, running back into the alley.

"I'm not..." He cried to himself.

Droplets of blood and tears accompanied him, as they did all his life...
