Darkness. All that he could see was darkness. Then the lights turned on and the pro hero Death Arms could see again, and he realized that he was completely trapped.

His arms were attached to hooks, dangling him from the roof of a room, whilst beneath him a pit of spikes stood. He looked ahead of him and a tv started playing.

"Hello, Desutegoro. You are a hero who only saves those who can give you something in return. It is time to face the consequences of your actions. In two minutes, the rusted chains hanging your arms will give way and you will fall into the spikes below. The only way to survive is to pull yourself up on your chains and press the button at the top, but are you strong enough to pull yourself up?"

The tv changes to be a two minute timer and it starts counting down. Death Arms starts trying to swing out of the way of the spikes to force himself to land, bit that soon is found unsuccessful.

90 seconds remaining

The pro hero then started to do as he was told, and pulled himself up. With each grab a jutter of pain shot through his body from the hooks through his hands.

60 seconds remaining

He was about half way but then one of the chains gained some slack and fell down, causing him to lose grip on one hand. He worked as quickly as he could to continue climbing.

30 seconds remaining

He was so close, just a few more pulls and he'd be at the button. The pain seared his mind, making each pull more excruciating than the last. He was just 1 pull away

10 seconds remaining

He pulled up and took a second to catch his breath.... But he loosened his grip. He fell back down the chain and as he reached the bottom of the chains, the timer went off.

Death Arms fell down into the spike pit, impaling him in several places including one eye, his mountain and through his heart.

The door then opened and a green haired figure walked in and left a card on his carcass, a picture of a jigsaw piece.

Across Tokyo in the same week, 7 total pro heroes died, all found with a picture of a jigsaw piece on them. This, naturally, rattled society. But one group of individuals who had mixed reactions to the news was class 1a of UA high. Let's have a look, shall we?

It was homeroom period when Mina Ashido brought up the new hero assassin.

"So has everyone heard about this weird series of hero deaths people are calling the jigsaw killings?"

Another student, Mashirao Ojiro, responded first. "Who hasn't? It's all that's been on the news. Seven heroes found dead in mysterious traps each with a card with a jigsaw piece on it. "

Tenya Iida, the class president, spoke next. "The person behind these killings must be brought to justice immediately!"

"What makes you so sure of that? This mysterious killer has only targeted pro heroes who have got stuff wrong with them. Take Mt Lady, for example. She used her pro hero status to get free services. And also-"

"Enough talk of this killer." Class 1a's teacher growled before the vice president could speak. "Today lessons have been cancelled to have ample time for discussion of this Jigsaw individual. But for now, we have training. Come on."

Class 1a's 19 students walked down to the gym for training, not forgetting the words of Yaoyarozu.

Later it was english class and Present Mic had the students all sir in a circle so they could properly discuss.

"So little listeners," the teacher bellowed, "I doubt any of you will have anything to worry about. The only people that this crazy killer has targeted has been corrupt pros!"

A few select students made nervous movements, which did not go unnoticed by a couple of students.

"Mr Mic?" Asked a black haired student, "what about you? Do you have any troubled actions you've done."

"Who, me? Well, little listener, I.... Do have some actions I heavily regret, I'll be honest. But I don't believe that Jigsaw will want me dead for it, it was an accident!"

Then the scar faced, two colour hair student made a good point, "what about their accomplices?"

Everyone stared at him. Some with realisation, some with shock, and one with fear. And just like that, the bell went and it was the end of the school day. They all went back to their dorms except for one student, who decided to head to a seemingly random warehouse.

"Sir, we have an issue at UA." The voice spoke to a greenette known as Izuku Midoriya. "Todoroki has realized that there is an accomplice."

"Do not worry, my friend. I have a feeling he won't be a problem for you or me anymore. Now I have a new task for you." He pulls a file out of a draw and hands it to the person specified as his accomplice. They took a look in it. "Sir.... Are you sure?"

"I am, my dear. This will help him see our way. Now go back, we don't want anyone to know you're missing."

The person took one more look at the file and nodded to Jigsaw, leaving the room swiftly.
