The wet, splattering sounds of one's footprint echoes through the dark, heavy rainstorm as a man, covered in cut wounds stumble as he tried to run away from something. Leaving the lit areas in a rush of panic, a plastic card dropped out of his pants, revealing his name.

Name: Kuroko Watashi

Nickname: Parrot Purple

and below all of this personal information, lay a certain special text written in all caps and in the bold font.

OFFICIAL HERO LICENSE

A Kuroko, panting and out of breath reached an overpass, he though he was safe, so he leaned against the wall, pressing his flesh wound against the cold hard cement. He covered up his face, and, after holding it back to the point of biting off a chunk of his own tongue, let out a muffled scream.

He tried to remember, what happened? Just minutes ago, him and his three other pro hero partners, Peacock Pink, Crow Blue and Phoenix Red, known as the Justice Birds, famous for stopping villains in an almost perfectly synchronized fashion, were sent in to deal with a bank robbery. Everything was going fine, until all light in the area suddenly cut out, and then, out of the corner of his eyes, as if it was just a dream, a man, no, a Grim Reaper, clad in black and gray, with a frown that mirrors the smile of All Might himself, sent three men to their grave.

His knife, dripping with blood, as the noise of everyone panicking blotted out his screams of terror, as soon, under all of the chaos, the Grim Reaper started moving again, looking at him with a glare radiating with hate, and rushing in with his combat knife.

Everything up to that point was a blur, and he was unsure what happened next. Suddenly, he heard noise to his left. His body shook in fear he turned around, meeting face to face with the man who claimed the lives of his comrades. He shook in fear and anger. His body told him to run, but all he could think of was avenging his fallen friends. Pointing at him, Kuroko yelled with ferocity.

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

The supposed Grim Reaper simply laughed, and, as his breathing stopped, he suddenly started approaching Kuroko at a impressively high speed, the same speed he took out all of his other pro heroes with. Shaken with fear, Kuroko ran back, before realizing that he was trapped in a dead end. Turning around, he raised both of his arms and braced for impact.

The police arrived soon after, discovering the mangled body of the last of the Justice Birds.

"That's the sixth hero dead with week!" Mumbled one of the police officers.

"Who do you think did this?" Asked another one of the officers, examining the body.

The corpse had several lacerations and slash wounds, most of them where on the tendon, joints and waist, the perfect way to slow someone down, but it was a deep cut wound at the man's throat that finished him off.

"Report back to the commissioner, it seems as though the Grim Reaper has struck again." Said the police chief.

The name Grim Reaper was given to the mysterious serial killer that they have yet to catch or even identify. He just knows that the killer likes to toy with his victims, killing them slowly. Some eye witnesses claim that they saw the Grim Reaper, and that he also has a partner of sorts that joins in on almost all of his missions. After sending no less that 13 pro heroes, new and veteran, to their grave, the Grim Reaper, although never seen, has been officially added to the villain's index.

Back at the Headquarters, Izuku listened to the news, where the main headline was "The Grim Reaper struck again!". Kurogiri looked at him, smiling with pride as the news announced his handy work, though they could have done a better job at naming him.
