The Fall of a Hero and Rise of a Demon (Gyutaro!Izuku)

Aftermath and the Truth

3rd POV

Gyutaro arrived back at the bar, a smile still on his face. The Doctor was there, patching up Shigaraki's bullet wounds, and Kurogiri was behind the counter, preparing drinks for everyone. Shigaraki noticed he returned, but didn't say anything since he was still in pain.

The monitor turned on, sound only displaying on the screen as usual. "Gyutaro, Tomura, I assume the mission was not a success," AFO lamented.

By this point Shigaraki was bandaged up, and started complaining, "I can't believe we lost! Our plan was perfect, but those kids got in the way!"

"Calm down master Tomura, just drink your soda, it will make you feel better," Kurogiri calmly told him.

He begrudgingly did as he was told and started drinking, but then turned to Gyutaro, who was just leaning against a wall, "And you! You told us he was weakened, and told us where his weak spot was! This is your fault!" he yelled.

"My fault?! Don't blame me for the power of friendship bullshit he pulled out of his ass!" Gyutaro responded as he got up in Tomura's face.

"And another thing, why'd you stay behind?! The hell were you doing?!"

At this he grinned, "Let's just say All Might will have a tough time using his right hand for anything as of now."

"You cut it off?! That's perfect! Now your poison will surely kill him, right?" Tomura asked him.

"Oh no, I made sure my poison didn't even affect him," Gyutaro casually responded.

Shigaraki's jaw dropped, and disintegrated his glass in anger, "WHY THE FUCK WOUDN'T YOU DO THAT?! HE WAS RIGHT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND, AND YOU DIDN'T DO IT?!" He screamed at him.

"Because it would be all the more satisfying killing his successor in front of him, since I now know that my former tormentor, Katsuki Bakugo is the next holder of One For All," he calmly told his friend.

Shigaraki paused, now processing his partner's words. He calmed down, "Sorry Gyutaro. I acted out because I was still angry that our plan failed. I should've known that you knew what you were doing. I apologize," he said.

"It's alright my friend, you have all the right to be angry that our plan was foiled by those children. All we can do now is move past it, and learn from it," Gyutaro smiled at him.

"You're right. The question is, what do we do now," Shigaraki stated.

All For One, who was merely listening up to this point, decided to intervene, "Because you learned from your mistakes Tomura, I shall advise you on what to do next," he told his ward.

The two young men faced the screen, intending to listen to their Sensei, "Perhaps you should start building more numbers. And when I say numbers, I don't mean more fodder like those goons we found, I mean bring in some party members."

"You should also start to get to know the enemy more. If the Sports Festival is still happening, it would be a good idea for you two to attend. It would give you a front row seat to study the various quirks they have."

Shigaraki nodded, and Gyutaro had the perfect idea, "You know if you're looking for someone high up on the skill level, I can suggest someone, though it's not a guarantee that he'll agree to join," he told his partners.

"Oh? And who might that be Young Gyutaro," AFO asked, intrigued with who his ward's friend had in mind.

"Have either of you heard of the Hero Killer Stain?" he questioned.

Tomura's eyes widened, "You mean THE Hero Killer? The one who was popular before you showed up? You know him?!"

"Of course I do. We already had similar ideals. Hell, he even trained me himself." The demon smirked.
