Chapter 36: SWEET HOME ALABAMA

The pinpointed area wasn't too far away so Shoto and I decided to check it out.

After asking Endeavour to send backup to the area once he was done, we sprinted and from about a block away could already hear the sounds of a battle.

Of course accompanied by brocoli boi's iconic screech.

Candycane rounded the corner before me and all I could see was the rush of fire he sent into the alley. "Midoriya," he panted. "You need to provide more than a location next time." I sidestep Todoroki's frame and spot Midoriya and the class rep seemingly paralysed on the floor, a third figure I didn't recognise behind them.

Then of course there was the creepy man that looked seconds away from killing our innocent green boi.

"We almost didn't come," he chides and I laugh.

'Now that's just a bold lie...'

"Ryo!" He stomps a foot to the floor, creating a path of ice straight at the villain which I hop onto, ready to attack. I was crouched at the head of the path, fingertips on the ice to control it's path.

"Wait-!" Midoriya choked out, "DON'T LET STAIN CUT YOU-!"

I flinch and use my nails to scrape up a pinch of ice that I turn into a superheated mist that I threw in the villain's face. Taking the chance, I turn the path a harsh right and grab the three paralysed bodies, throwing them back down the ice slide.

Only issue was that I was now stuck on the other side, seperated from the rest via a creepy and very much angry man.

"Oh shit-"

I feel a nick on my arm and immediately lurch left, away from the villain's extremely freaky long tongue.

I roll over my shoulder and dig my fingers into the floor, making the ground swallow the man up.

Slowly, I back up as Shoto rushes to my side.

"Don't let him get any of your blood! That's how he paralyses you!" Deku warns, taking our attention away from the man for only a second.

I feel a harsh shove as I fall behind Shoto, his left side now aflame, a barely visible trickle of blood going down his cheek. 'this sneaky bastard-!' Sure enough, the villain had not only dug himself out of my trap but moved so fast he nearly got Todoroki.

Peppermint dug his foot into the floor, creating a wave of ice that sends the villain back, but only a few paces.

That crazy bastard cut straight through that solid 12 inch thick pillar of ice.

"You're strong..." Shoto muttered I nodded, moving in to attack while Shoto got his bearings.

I leapt into the brick wall, propelling myself upwards and flipping myself over the man.

In tight spaces like this, I thrived.

"You like to fly eh?" The villain grinned as he suddenly appeared behind me midair.

I gasp and force my body to turn, slashing my arm down before me, sending a gust of air that knocks him back to the floor. I land a few paces from where he did, sandwiching him between Shoto and I.

Only issue was that in doing that little maneuver in the air...

My forearm was practically slit down the middle.

I grasp my arm and heat it, not quite caring about how I did it but I had to close the wound.

It hurt.

God it hurt.

But I managed to shut the wound for the time being, tissue melded together in some kind of botched cauterisation.

I look back up to see Shoto distracting the villain to allow me to recouperate. But he already looked to be in a dire situation.

"STOP, PLEASE!" I heard Iida yell from the floor.

I didn't have the time to wait and hear him out, moving to cover Shoto as Stain nearly takes his arm off.

"This is my battle! My revenge...!" The class rep continued wailing from the floor. "I'M THE ONE CARRYING INGENIUM'S NAME!"

'Ingenium? Engine elbows guy?'

I leapt back, dodging a slash.

The I knock my fist into my open palm.

"Oh! Brothers!" I realise and it seems like even the villain took a beat from the fight to give me a deadpan look.

"DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT-! I DIDN'T KNOW OKAY?!" I groan but am cut short as the Hero Killer lunged at me.

Shoto, shoved the guy against a wall with a rush of ice, pulling me behind him.

"Ingenium..." Shoto muttered.

'Don't tell me he has history with Igenium too...

*gasp*

Gay lovers?!'

"He would never have your vengeful glare-!"

'of course not...'

Shoto  shot a spiral of flames at the villain as I pull him back by the collar and grip onto Stain's katana. It hurts for a second but then the blade melts in my grasp. The liquified metal falls to the floor with my blood mixed in like some raspberry ripple. The hero killer leapt back, his blade now a third of it's original length.

He flicked his blade, remnants of melted metal sloughing off as Todoroki wasted no time in stepping in front of me. He sent a path of ice at the man who leapt into the air.

Yet again, the man slashes through it, albeit with more apparent difficulty as the ice shatters more than it cuts cleanly. The residue obstructs our view long enough for Stain to throw several knives in our direction, three imbedded into Todoroki's forearm and two jammed into my right thigh.

"You two are strong," the man commended as he suddenly appeared above the third fallen figure, a man I finally recognised as prohero Native. "I'll give you that-!" As he slashed down, Shouto and I rushed to the man but-

'we won't make it-!'

Then, a flash of green.
