The neglected but loved hero

Chapter 24: Hosu

(A/N: I hope you enjoy!)

Izuku POV

I was flying over Hosu, looking for any sign of Kaina, when I spotted a fire raging nearby. I quickly flew down to see what was happening and spotted a big creature that looked similar to the Nomu from the USJ.

Seeing it about to attack a hero who was on the ground, I flew down, landing on the thing, my claws easily tearing through it. Looking around, I saw a few other Nomu fighting the other heroes. A smile crept onto my face as I charged towards the creatures.

No one POV

Ryukyu was flying over the streets, looking for any sign of civilians in the area so she could get them to safety. Once she got everyone out of the area, she began to fly back to help take care of the Nomu situation.

Once she arrived, she saw something she wasn't expecting. Izuku was blocking a punch from a Nomu while an injured hero was on the ground behind him. Suddenly, his free arm shot forward, tearing through the flesh of the Nomu, its limp body falling to the ground.

She landed, seeing that the area was clear. Izuku turned around, seeing the hero on the ground and began reaching his hand out. "Hey, you alright?"

The hero began to crawl back. "Ah! S-Stay back!"

Izuku sighed to himself and turned to see Ryukyu watching him. "Ryukyu, where's Lady Nagant?"

"She's out with Emerald Force and Miruko looking for Stain. What are you doing here?"

Izuku walked up to Ryukyu. "I got a bad feeling and flew here. Kaina texted me that you were taking her here. Do you know which direction she was headed?"

"No, I didn't see. She left with Miruko while I was helping civilians." Izuku turn to fly away, looking for the three when Ryukyu, put a hand on his shoulder. "After this, we need to talk about a couple things."

Izuku was confused but nodded before taking off into the sky. Once he was high enough, he began looking around for any sign of where Kaina or Izumi could be. Then he felt his phone go off and looked at it, seeing a text from Kaina with a location. Izuku looked at it and it only took a second for him to realize what it meant before looking around for where it was.

Izumi was running through the alleyways, looking for Stain. She felt nervous about fighting someone who had already killed many heroes and injured many more beyond the point of being able to fight again.

Izumi clenched her fists as she tried to remain focused on her mission and heard the sound of a struggle. She quickly rushed over to find Iida was on the ground with Stain standing over him, his sword stabbed into Iida's shoulder.

"All of you fake heroes deserve to die." Stain pulled his sword out of Iida's shoulder, aiming it at his head.

Before he could kill him though, Izumi came rushing in, kicking Stain into the wall behind him, the bricks cracking from the impact. Izumi moved between Stain and Iida, waiting for the vigilante to get up.

Iida was angrily shouting at Izumi to leave but she wasn't paying any attention. 'That... that was the easiest time I've had controlling One for All. Ms Miruko's training is really paying off.'

Stain got up off the ground and glared at Izumi. "So there's more of you fakes here."

Izumi steeled her nerves and prepared to fight the killer vigilante. "You're not killing anyone tonight, Stain. I'm gonna make sure of it."

Stain quickly threw knives at Izumi, which were quickly deflected with her telekinetic powers. "Hm. Multiple quirks then?" Stain liked his lips and grabbed his sword, pointing it at Izumi. "You'll still die like the rest."
