Izuku The Iron Revenant

Chapter 16: Reasons

1 Week Later

   In this 1 week, Izuku raided Black Rose Organization's hideouts. Stealing items, runes, and leaving only destroyed buildings and mountains of corpses of heroes and members of Black Rose. In all of these massacres, only one person from each hideout was survived. However, this was just Izuku's way of sending a message to everyone that he will kill them if they stand in his way.

In a Black Rose Compound

   On another raid, Momo stood there with a bored expression. She didn't find anyone that gets her attention to fight. On top of that, this compound already empty. There is no good item to take or a magical weapon for her to take. When she got ready to leave and saw Thresh was already waiting for her in front of the exit. While she is slowly walking towards the exit. She felt someone hiding under broken tables. Momo stopped in front of the table the person is hiding and throw it to the side of the room, revealing the scared man. When the table was thrown, the man got up fast as he can.

Momo: "Shhhh. Calm down. Look... I will let you live but don't tell anyone, okay." she said with a calm and soothing voice. 

   The scared man ran to the other side, but when he got some distance. Momo created a spear and threw it behind him. The poor man didn't even chance to do something before the spear pierced right through him and pinned him to his place where he died. She smirked and walked towards the exit to meet up with Thresh, who watched everything.

Thresh: "My lady. Why did you give a chance to that man?" the malicious spirit asked.

Momo: "I don't know. I thought that it will be funny... Did you find anything good?" the tall woman asked his servant. She hoped that he managed to find something worth taking.

Thresh: "I'm sorry, my lady. There is nothing that great. Probably the other members cleaned this place thinking that we will come for the items." he said while slightly bowing the tall woman standing in front of him.

Momo: "Such a waste of time... Let's return to the mansion then." she said while raising her hand to collect the souls of the people inside.

   Momo raised her hand again to open a portal to the mansion they live in. The mansion originally belonged to the AFO. However, when Izuku took everything AFO had, they decided to use this mansion as their base after some modifications. The mansion was deep inside a forest, and it was protected by spells Izuku made it. When they arrived, Thresh looked at Momo while slightly bowing.

Thresh: "Is there anything else you want me to do, madam?" he asked with a little bit impatient tone. Momo knew the reason why he asked this.

Momo: "No, you can leave. You are probably want to play with your toy after a bad raid." she calmly said and walked towards Izuku's room.

   Thresh bowed his head even more and walked towards the underground section of the mansion. Momo entered Izuku's room and watched them. Karthus and Hecarim were reporting what they learned to Izuku.

Hecarim: "My lord. Our intel revealed that heroes already got 2 pieces. I suggest that we should get the rest of the pieces before them." the centaur said with a worried voice. If the heroes got all of the rune pieces before they can, it will be over.

Izuku: "Calm down Hecarim. It doesn't matter if they got 2 of the 6 pieces. They need all of the pieces for the runestone. We already have a piece and we will get the rest of them." Izuku answered with a calm voice to ensure his servant that everything is fine.

Hecarim: "Yes, my lord bu--" he stopped himself after realizing what his master said.

Hecarim: "We have a piece?"  he asked with a confused tone. He looked at Izuku as he reached his neck and revealed the necklace he is wearing. There is a white stone on it that is glowing with a colorful aura.

Izuku: "Yes... We have a piece. Now the only thing that remains is getting the rest of the pieces. You can leave now."  he said while pointing to the door.

   Hecarim bowed to Izuku and walked towards the door and saw Momo was standing in front of it. After bowing to her as well, he left the room and gone outside to do training. Then the Deathsinger started to talk.

Karthus: "We located the person you asked, your highness. What do you want us to do with her?"

Izuku: "Nothing. I will go myself." Izuku got up from his throne and left the mansion with the portal he opened.

   Izuku is now standing in front of an old building that is abandoned. However, he can feel the woman he is looking for standing inside. Lady Nagant. An old hero turned into a villain who kills heroes and hero association members. She went rogue after killing pro hero Emerald Tornado or known as Inko Midoriya/Yaoyorozu.

    Nagant was sitting on a chair in front of a campfire while holding a photo. She was thinking about things she had done. Her thoughts were cut by a dark presence she felt she. In an instant, she readied her gun and turned backward. However, before she can fire, Izuku held her neck with his right hand while ripping her gun out of her body with his left hand. Nagant screamed in pain while Izuku raised her up to his eye level. Nagant looked at Izuku's dark metal helmet for a moment.

Lady Nagant: "W-who ar-are y-you?" instead of an answer, Izuku's dark metal helmet vanished and revealed his face. Even after he grew, she recognized his face.

Lady Nagant: "Y-you are h-her s-son." She said with a shocked look on her face.

Izuku: "Yes, I'm her son. I will ask you this. Why did you kill her?" Izuku's rage is growing even more now. He started choking her even more without realizing it.

Lady Nagant: "I-I h-had no ch-choice." she said while tears started running down her cheeks.

Izuku: "What do you mean?" Izuku asked her while slowly loosening his grip so she can breathe easier.

Lady Nagant: "I needed money for him. For my son." she pointed to the photo with her eyes. Izuku took the photo from the ground with his magic and looked at it. It was Nagant, and she was holding a little boy with blue hair in her arms. They were both smiling.

Lady Nagant: "His quirk awakened late and when it awakened, it did serious damage to his body and needed special surgery to save him. It was too expensive for me. Then he came and offered me to cover up my son's surgery price exchange for taking her life." Izuku silently continued to listen to her.

Lady Nagant: "Time was running out, and I had no other choice. I was desperate... I really cared for your mother. She was my inspiration to become a hero. I am sorry." 

Izuku: "Who is the person that ordered you to kill her?" Izuku asked her with a calm voice.

Lady Nagant: "It's Endeavor. He was the one who ordered me." she finished speaking and closed her eyes waited for Izuku to kill her. However, she suprised when she slowly put her down. 

Izuku: "What happened to your son?" Instead of an answer, Izuku saw Nagant on her knees while holding the photo of her and her son.

Lady Nagant: "He died... Because Endeavor never gave the money he promised." 

Izuku: "Do you want revenge?" he asked the crying woman.

Lady Nagant: "Yes... but without my weapon it's impossible." she said while looking at her bloody arm.

Izuku: "I can give you more power... If you serve me at my revenge. Now... Do you accept my offer?" he asked while extending his hand to her.

Lady Nagant: "I accept." she said and held Izuku's hand.

Izuku: "Good. This will hurt... A lot." he said and gently held her head. As the bright green flames touched Nagant's body, her screams echoed on the empty corridors of the building.
