The Imprisoned Hero

Different Times

"You can't quit now, Y/N," Deku scolded me.

I paced back and forth, "What we're doing is inhumane!"

"What we're doing," he abruptly stood up, causing the chair to fall over. "Is keeping the peace. Do you think All Might paved this path for us to end up going to waste?"

I sighed, "No. This wasn't what All Might would have wanted."

"Good. At least you realize it," he said and picked the chair up. "I mean, listen to yourself, Y/N. If the others found out about this, they would kill you. They would think you were one of them!"

"I never want to be one of them!" I yelled back at him.

Deku looked down at me with a serious tone, "Good. You're thinking back to the morals of what we do. Come on. We have another execution in a few minutes."

Deku put on his helmet and walked out of the room. I was still standing there, feeling very conflicted with myself. I walked over to my helmet and picked it up. The material was cold against my hands. I looked at my reflection and thought back to what my upbringing was.

My mother and father told me that whatever I do, I never stray away from the path humanity once set upon. The revolutionists wanted to get rid of this hierarchy and bring it down to its knees. They sought for freedom instead of capture. Peace instead of hostility. They wanted a resolution and the only resolution they could find was to revolt against these people. Once a revolution began, these 'peacekeepers' known as 'heroes' defeated the revolutionists many years ago. The leader of these 'peacekeepers' was none other than the symbol himself: All Might. He had defeated the head of the revolution when I was about fifteen. He had taken down All for One and that led his followers to hide away.

Now they were on a resurgence. There have been many of his followers popping up here and there all over Japan. They want to restore Japan to what it was originally. However, the 'heroes' thought they are causing another revolution. Therefore, like All Might once said, "We must flush out the unwanted and keep the wanted thriving." And these revolutionists were unwanted. We needed to flush them out. However, we were all straying away from our humanity.

I placed the helmet over my head and walked out of the room. I walked towards a closet and opened it up. There were an assortments of weapons that fits to anyone. I searched through it for a moment before I grabbed a dagger. Everyone always went with either a sword or a gun. The least common weapon was a dagger. I was just better with a dagger since it was lightweight and if thrown properly, it could be deadly. I placed the daggers in their sheaths that were attached to my belt. I walked out of the building and saw there were 'heroes' all over the place. They were searching for the most dangerous revolutionist: Shigaraki. He was supposed to be All for One's successor back in the day. That was when they thought they were going to restore Japan to what it once was.

"Move it!" I heard a 'hero' yell.

I looked over and saw there were some civilians who were trying to protect themselves. I recognized the voice of the person. I rushed over and extended my arm out. He was about to hit them.

"Stop. I will take care of them."

The person looked at me. Even if he wore a mask, I could tell Bakguo was giving me a pissy look.

"You better. Lately, you've been falling on the job. You haven't been enforcing the curfew and you haven't been after the people we've been after! Stick to the program or I will send you to the master himself for reevaluation!"

"Yes, sir. It won't happen again."

"It better not," Bakugo said and walked off.

When he disappeared, I helped the people up from the ground. They were shaking as I helped them.
