At the hideout of the Shie Hassaikai organization, the leader known as Overhaul is meditating in his office when he gets news from one of his cohorts.
Yakuza Thug: Chisaki! We have a problem!
Overhaul: What?
Yakuza Thug: The girl! She's escaped!
Overhaul: You let the girl escape?! She is very valuable to our organization! Her Quirk is the key to restoring the world to it's natural state! And you let her go?!
Yakuza Thug: P...please forgive me! It wasn't my fault!
Overhaul placed his hand on the Yakuza Thug.
Overhaul: It's okay. All is forgiven.
As he finished his statement, Overhaul uses his Overhaul Quirk to disassemble the Yakuza Thug into a bloody mess.
Overhaul: But failure must be punished regardless!
Overhaul summons Yu Hojo: one of the members of the Eight Expendables to his office.
Hojo: What do you need sir?
Overhaul: It seems Eri has run off again. Please bring her back.
Hojo: Where do I start?
Overhaul: If I know little Eri, she'll be going to where she went last time.
Hojo: Say no more. I'll bring her back immediately.
Overhaul: Take some men with you. Make sure it goes smoothly.
Hojo complies and heads out of Overhaul's office in search of Eri. Meanwhile at a later time in an alley, the Hero Killer known as Stain is finishing off a hero he deemed false.
Stain: And so the world will be cleansed of your filth! You will join all the other False Heroes!
Hero: P...p..please!
Stain mercilessly kills the hero. After this, he turns to see a little girl near him. Her hair is white and has a small horn protruding from her head. She shakes at the sight of what she had just witnessed. Suddenly, Hojo and a group of Yakuza thugs come into the alley.
Hojo: There you are little Eri! You gave us quite a scare. But now it's time to come home! We have much work to accomplish!
Eri: N...n...no! I'm not going back!
Eri turns to the Hero Killer.
Eri: Please! Help me! Don't let them take me! Please!
One of the Yakuza thugs with Hojo realize who Eri is pleading to.
Yakuza Thug: Holy shit! That's the Hero Killer Stain!
Hojo: Now now Eri! You're being hysterical! As for you Hero Killer, this is none of your concern. I suggest you mind your business!
Eri hides behind Stain's leg, seeing the Hero Killer as her only hope. Stain looks to the girl hiding behind his leg.
Stain: I normally go after False Heroes. But I'm not above killing scum like you!
Stain pulls out two swords and arms himself as the Yakuza thugs with him do the same. Hojo uses his Crystallization Quirk to turn his arms into a sword.
Hojo: You've made a terrible mistake. Let's finish off the Hero Killer then!
Stain makes quick work of the Yakuza thugs, leaving Setsuno alone with Stain. Stain and Hojo engage in a sword fight. Stain then slashes at Setsuno's face, leaving blood on Stain's sword.
Hojo: Did you think a little cut like that would do anything? I didn't expect the Hero Killer to be so stupid!
Stain laughs as he licks the blood from the sword, confusing Hojo.
Hojo: What're you laughing at.....
But before Hojo could finish his sentence, Hojo was left paralyzed by Stain's Bloodcurdle Quirk.
Hojo: What the hell?! I....can't....move! What the hell did you do to me?!
Stain: I needed your blood to activate my Quirk. Don't bother trying to move. It won't do you any good.
Stain sheathes his swords and walks to the paralyzed Hojo. He then pulls out a knife and puts it to Hojo's throat.
Hojo: You've made a dangerous enemy tonight Stain! Overhaul will make quick work out of you!
Stain: I will continue to cleanse this society of the False Heroes that infest it. No one will kill me! Not you! Not Overhaul! And certainly not any False Heroes! The only one who is worthy to kill me is All Might! He is a true hero!
Hojo: Go to hell!
Stain: You first.
Stain then sits his throat, killing Hojo. He turns around to see Eri, quaking in fear. Stain walks to the scared little girl and gets on one knee.
Eri: Are.....they......
Stain: Yes.
Stain then holds out his hand and Eri takes it. Eri feels something strange as she grabs it.
Eri: You don't mean to hurt me?
Stain: No. Come with me. More will be here soon.
Eri looks to her savior and follows him, preparing for a future that seemed better than what Overhaul has planned for her.
