'Hero Killer?! Todoroki won't be able to defeat him by himself!'

"Todoroki! L/n! You can't let that guy get your blood! I...I think he controls his enemies actions by swallowing it! That's how he got us!"

"He ingests blood to keep people from moving, That explains the blades. All I gotta do is keep my distance," Todoroki got into a fighting stance, a glimmer rushing towards the boy catching my eye.

"Todoroki!"

Hero Killer jumped at Todoroki. His sword raised and ready to kill.

"You have good friends Ingenium. Or you did!" My body tensed as The Hero Killer sliced at Todoroki, only for the dueled haired boy's ice to block the attack.

Seeing one of the villans swords flying through the air, I looked back to the fight just as the villain grabbed my classmate by his collar, his tongue extended for his bleeding cheek.

Shooting my hand up flames shot at the villain, just as they reached the two, Todorokis left side lit up, the heat of our flames knocking the man back. Todrokis ice just seconds away from hitting him before he jumped back up off the ground. Taking his sword that fell right into his hands, he quickly changed directions from Todoroki to me. The sinister smirk across his lips was soon blocked by another mound of Todorokis Ice that the Killer easily cut down. Before the Hero Killer could strick again, he was pushed back by the quickly growing ice.

"Just stop it. Why are you... doing this? His fight is with me." Shooting a line of flame at the villain repeatedly, I split my attention to Iida, his voice weak, but the words he spoke laced with pain and anger. "I inherited my brother's name. I'm the one that should stop him! The Hero Killer is mine!"

I groaned in slight pain as my hands began to burn, the sharp pain causing my flames to stop abruptly.

'No no no no! I can't be near my limit already!'

"You're Ingenium now? Strange?"  Todorki switched from flames to his Ice, making a large wall that The Hero Killer just seemed to dodged easily. " The Ingenium I knew before never had that look on his face. You got a dark side, guess my family isn't the only one."

"Careful Todoroki!"

"You blocked your own field of vision from an opponent who is faster than you! Rookie mistake,"

"Come get me then!"

"AH!" I yelled out in pain feeling a sharp stab at my hip. Causing my legs to buckle on their own as I fell to the ground in a sitting position. Looking back at Todoroki, the pain suddenly went to the back of my mind.

His arm had three knives in his left arm, rendering him useless at the time due to the pain of it. The Hero Killer hovered above Todoroki with his swords above his head.

"You're good kid, unlike him," In the moment of deception, the villain changed targets once again, this time aiming for the pro-Native.

"Watch out!"

"Native!"

Before The Hero Killer could reach the Pro,  Midoriya suddenly jumped to the Killer, dragging him across the side of the building.

"Midoriya!"

"I'm not sure why but I'm able to move now!"

"So he has a time limit," Todoroki concluded only for native to disagree.

"No, he should have been the last one to be free,"

"Then what else would it be?" I questioned, trying to keep pressure around the knife in my hip, a small groan escaping my lips as I did so.

Hearing Midoriya comes into contact with the ground once again. The Hero killer standing behind him.

"Midoriya dodge!"

Doing as told, the Greenette jumped out of the way of Todoroki's ice. Landing next to me, he coughed up the dust that began to stir up into the air from the non-stop attacks.

"He swallows the person's blood to freeze them. But I was the one freed first. I've got three different guesses why. His quirk could be less effective the more people he uses it on. The amount ingested could play into how long it works, or there could be a difference based on the persons' blood type,"

"If it's the last one, my blood type is B," Native spoke up after hearing Midoriya's guess.

Following the Pro's lead, Iida spoke, "I'm, type A,"

'If that's the case, then... I have no idea what blood type I am. If he gets to any of my blood, there's no telling how long I'll be frozen for,'

"So you figured it out. Bravo, very impressive."

"It doesn't really help us to know how his quirk works though,"

"I thought we could hurry and carry those two out of here, but he's too fast. He can dodge L/n's and I's fire and my Ice. I'd have to leave myself unguarded.  It would have worked before with l/n being uninjured, but now I don't think it would do her any good walking. Our best option is to hold and wait for the pros and to avoid close combat.

"I could walk! It's just a small cut! I've dealt with bigger wounds than this."

"Todoroki's right L/n, You shouldn't be moving around-"

"None of us should be. You guys are just as beat up as I am, hell even worse. How am I any different?"

"She's right Todoroki, out of the five of us, two aren't able to move, and the two of you have already lost way to much blood. As of right now, I'm the only one with minimum damage," Midoriya activated his quirk as his body began to light up. "I'll distract him while the two of you support me from behind, sound like a plan?"

"You want us to take a pretty big risk," Todoroki took a  glance at me as if asking for the answer.

'Is he trying to get my opinion?'

I gave a small nod, as I rolled up my jacket sleeve, the scars from the USJ incident reminding me of how hard the class had fought before, a feeling in my gut telling me this fight wasn't going to be any less of a challenge.

'I may be nearing my limit... but I can't let them do all the work,'

"Okay, we can protect them,"

I groaned in pain as I stood, putting most of my weight on my right leg trying to relieve the pressure in my left hip.

"Three against one huh? This fight won't be easy,"

With little warning Midoriya shot from the ground, jumping back and forth from the buildings. Todoroki's ice built up as  Midoriya aimed an attack to the Hero Killer, missing only by a second.

Before The Hero Killer could retaliate, Todoroki's Ice blocked his attack, pushing him back, only for my flames to shove him towards Todoroki's fires.

Before either of us could make the next move, The Killer sliced at Midoriyas ankle, causing him to fall.

"Midoriya!"

Shooting flames at the Killer, Todoroki followed my actions. My flames were significantly smaller than before, as my vision began to turn fuzzy.

"Come on dammit. Not now," Retracting my hand, I pulled it close to my chest inspecting the fresh raw burns on my palms.

"You have to run. I can't watch this,"

"You wanna make your brother proud?!" The Hero Killer licked the blood off his sword, freezing Midoriya once again. Todoroki's Ice attempted to freeze the Killer in place only for him to cut it once again. "Then stand up and be Ingenium! Become the hero he wanted you to be!" Todorki's Left side lit up in flames as I ignited my right hand once again, ready to defend Todoroki, but the flames died out in a heartbeat as my vision blurred once again and my body suddenly felt hot and sweaty.
