Izuku the Killer

Chapter 16

Deep within a forest, laid a mansion. This mansion had many residents, most human, in some capacity, others not so much. Each powerful in their own right, each having body counts at least in the double digits. They had a leader, a creature that had no face, yet was perfectly understandable. He was tall, slender even. He preyed on the weak, but was no pushover, having bested all of his tenants at some point in their elongated lives. The strongest had been overpowered, that fastest had been cut off, the smartest had been played like a pawn. All of them had been outclassed by their leader. So to say the ones seeing what looked to be a heavily scarred human surviving being thrown from his office was a shock, would be an understatement.

Izuku was flung out of the doors of Slender Man's office and flew over a railing that led to what looked to be the main foyer of the mansion. He flipped in the air, narrowly avoiding two more tendrils that were sent his way. Izuku landed on the bottom floor, taking note of a few of the people he saw. The Ben person from before was there alongside a man in a blue mask, a clown, and the girl in a pink dress he saw back at UA. He quickly swung his knife in front of him, cutting through another tendril.

Izuku: *Yelling* "C'mon! Fight me!"

His vision blurred for a moment and when it came back, his opponent was in front of him.

Slender: "You are a fool to think you can beat me. I have governed this manor for centuries. You do not have th-"

Izuku scoffed.

Izuku: "It just sounds like you're stalling. Waiting for me to get tired?"

He brought his knife up to his face and liked the black blood off the blade.

Izuku: "You'll have to try harder than that."

Izuku then rushed the pale monster and got within an arm's reach. Just as he thrusted his knife into the heart of this creature Slender Man teleported once more, this time behind Izuku. A sudden force launched Izuku into the wall that was once behind his opponent. The force made him go through the wall and out the other side, into a hallway. He quickly got to his feet and started running. While he did believe Slender Man was scared, he knew the fear wasn't of his current abilities, but what he might grow to be.

Izuku: "Just gotta buy time for the others to get up."

He sensed something coming and went to the floor, sliding under a tendril that just burst through the wall. Thinking quickly, he entered the first room he could find, leaving to door open. It took several seconds, but the man slowly walked into the room. These theatrics proved to Izuku that he wasn't taking this fight seriously. Izuku attempted to ambush him from behind the door, but his arm was caught by Slender Man's hand.

Slender: "I am growing tired of this. I do not wish to fight any longer."

Izuku: "You should've thought of that before you came after me."

He dropped his knife and caught it with his other hand. Seeing a tendril coming, he tossed the knife again, catching it in his mouth before his other hand was captured as well. He then pulled himself towards Slender Man and before the man could react, stabbed him in the shoulder. Izuku was dropped as Slender let out a pained noise and quickly ran from the room. He was getting lucky, but he didn't know just how much luck he had left.

Yuu awoke, tied to a chair. The last thing she remembered was being dragged out of the office and feeling something hit her in the head. She looked up and took note of her surroundings. It was dark and damp, the floor was made of stone, and both Inko and Bakugo were there. Upon closer inspection, she was able to notice the cell that they had been thrown in, and the man called Hoodie guarding it.

Inko: "Awake?"

Yuu looked to her fellow captor.

Yuu: "Yeah."

She heard a crash above them.

Yuu: "What was that?"

Bakugo: "Izuku and that freaky tall guy are duking it out."

Yuu: "You can't be serious!"

Bakugo nodded.

Inko: "Unfortunately, I believe Izuku's losing."

Yuu: "We have to do something!"

A knock on the metal bars was heard.

Hoodie: "I wouldn't if I were you. The boss is more than enough for the four of you. Especially when three of ya are banged up like that. Besides, ain't it illegal to use your powers?"

Yuu: *Yelling* "That doesn't matter!"

The man looked confused.

Hoodie: "It..... doesn't?"

Yuu began to use her quirk, slowly growing in size. The ropes used to tie her up broke first.

Yuu: "I'm a hero! I'll admit, I haven't always had the best intentions, but it's still my job to protect!"

She was thankful she'd worn her costume underneath her clothes as they burst.

Hoodie: "Shit!"

He pulled his gun out to shoot her, but it was already too late. She kicked the cell door, launching it and knocking him out.

Yuu: "Bakugo! As an active hero, I give you permission to use your quirk!"

The boy smirked.

Bakugo: "Don't gotta tell me twice!"

He used his quirk to blast through his own ropes just as Yuu decided to let loose, growing to her full size of 67'8" (or 2062cm).

Yuu: *Yelling* "Titan Cliff!"

Izuku fell to the ground panting. He had been using hit and run tactics and even with his speed, he was still outmatched. He pulled his knife out if his bicep where Slender had planted it. He stood and raised it once more, preparing to fight head on. Slender rounded the corner, arms folded behind his back.

Slender: "Give up. You can't win."

Izuku: "You should follow your own advice."

Instead of responding, Slender pinned Izuku to the wall using his tendrils and plucked the knife from his hand.

Slender: "I tried to be civil and get along with you, but you chose this. Goodbye, Izuku Midoriya."

He thrusted the knife forwards. It was centimeters from Izuku's chest. But then...

Yuu: *Yelling* "Titan Cliff!"

Yuu's gigantic head burst through the floor and continued to rise, making Slender retract his tendrils. The tables had turned.
