Chapter 19: Coming Full Circle

A/N: Well it seems Iida has made his choice on how to handle the Hero Killer, let's see if he can follow through with his decision.

Iida looked through the eyes of his helmet at Stain as he dug through everything he knew of the villain. He'd done as much research as possible leading up to his internship, and all he could find was that the Hero Killer was skilled with blades of all kinds and that he always had at least three victims in any given city he was. His victims always displayed slash and stab wounds, but what stuck with Iida the most was what Midoriya told him. "Iida I've fought Stain and he uses techniques like mine." Knowing this would give him a leg up, but not by much. He needed to make every second count.

I don't have to beat him; I just need to get Native out of here. Iida thought to himself as he took a running stance.

"Well come on boy come save this filth, if you can!" Stain shouted as Iida rocketed forward going for an engine powered roundhouse. Stain smirked leaping above Iida. "You know I let your brother live in hopes that he would serve as a warning to this world of fake heroes, but still nothing has changed. Maybe your death will leave more of an impact!" Stain growled as he kicked forward the spikes on the toe of his boot tearing at Iida's costume as the young hero dodged to the side running along the wall towards Native.

"Almost there!" Iida shouted mentally as he reached for the Pro only to have to break off as Stain appeared before him nearly impaling Iida on his blade.

"You didn't think it would be that easy did you?" Stain asked as Iida and he locked eyes. Iida grit his teeth as he looked between Stain and Native. Stain was fast not as fast as Iida, but close he couldn't rely on just his speed like he'd planned.

I should have known that my speed wasn't enough to overcome Midoriya so why would it work against someone even more skilled? I need a plan. Iida thought to himself as he rushed forward jumping off the wall sailing over Stain as if heading for Native again, but right as he Iida reached his zenith Iida activated his engines directing him straight down at Stain his foot coming down on the villain who blocked with the side of his sword feeling Iida's weight crash down onto him before noticing the grin on Iida's face.

"Now Recipro Burst!" Iida shouted activating his last ditch move propelling himself at Native using Stain's sword as a leaping off point the force of his acceleration snapping the villain's sword as he flew towards Native grabbing hold of the hero as Iida's feet hit the ground and they took off towards the mouth of the alley. "I'm going to make it!" Iida thought before feeling searing pain in one of his legs causing him to stumble and fall dropping Native as he did so. The Pro hit the ground and rolled like a ragdoll.

"That was a nice try kid. I didn't expect something so crafty from a kid like you." Stain said as he came towards the two. Iida looked down at his leg seeing the knife embedded in his flesh. "I commend your effort, it was truly heroic and for that, I will let you live." Stain said pulling a knife from one of his many holsters. "But that piece of garbage is too far gone and must be cleansed." Stain said with cold malice before hurling the knife. Iida saw the flash of light as the blade caught the light of the moon. He watched the blade move in slow motion and without even noticing it his body seemingly moved on its own flinging him over Native as he felt the knife bite deep into his back.

Iida bit back his scream clenching his jaw as a groan rattled through his teeth. "Kid stop! Get out of here I'm not worth this!" Native shouted looking at the child protecting him from this madman at the risk of his own body. Stain stood a few feet away completely shocked at what he just saw. This kid had thrown himself in the path of his blade without a second thought.
