Chapter 23 ~ Stain

This isn't really my best chapter Tbh. I just suck at writing fight scenes. 

We started our patrol when the sun had begun to fade. It was currently dark outside, and we had not run into any villains. Todoroki and I trailed behind Endevar. The evening patrol was uneventful, and the streets were crowded.

We slipped through the mob of people and made it to a more open area. Seemingly out of nowhere, a building exploded. People were screaming and running, but the three of us stood by.

Smoke swelled in the air, and fire filled the street. The city and its people were in utter chaos. Along with the disorder and confusion, something else happened, something that sent a chill down my spine.

A Nomu appeared right before my eyes, then two, then three. They started to fly in and form from a grey substance. The three of us ran to help others who needed it.

We walked around, helping people who needed it when we came across an older man. He was in the middle of fending off one of the beasts when it erupted in flames. Endevar had ignited it before the man could land another blow.

He didn't look like a pro I had seen before, but he seemed extremely powerful. Todoroki and I were not permitted to help out, so all we could do was watch as the chaos unfurled.

Suddenly, my phone got a notification at the same time as Todoroki's. I checked it and saw that Midoryia had sent his location to me. I could only assume Todoroki had gotten the same one.

It was odd to receive his location out of context, and you couldn't help but feel something was wrong. I looked up from my phone to see Todoroki staring at me. He must have realized the same thing as I did.

I couldn't tell if he was planning to go to Midoryia or not, but all I knew, was I was sticking by him. Todoroki and I started to run, Endevar yelled something out, and Todoroki replied, but I didn't pay attention.

I followed Todoroki, and he followed the location. We ran for a while until we came across a small alleyway. When we looked in, Iida was about to be stabbed.

Out of nowhere, I sent out a huge burst of fire, but stain dodged it. Midoryia, Iida, and the other hero, all looked at us. The fire was still surrounding my hand as Todoroki lifted his phone. "Midoryia, you're going to need to send more information next time, other than your specific location, It took us a bit to figure out, but your not one to send cryptic messages without a reason are you?" The duel haired boy said as he sent a wave of ice at the villain.

The hero killer dodged it and Todoroki managed to save the paralyzed people. I lifted a bit of the pavement with my quirk, and pelted it at Stain, hitting him square in the face. Stain came at me with his sword, which I easily dodged while blowing a gust of wind at him and sending him into the wall.

"(y/n), Todoroki, don't let him swallow your blood, I think that's how he got us!" Midoryia yelled. "Nice, all we got to do is keep our distance," I muttered, right after I said this, a blade came right at Todoroki's face, slicing him right across his cheek.

He lunged at us, trying to stab us, but Todoroki but up a barrier of ice. He tried to lick the blood off of the boy's face but got pushed away by his fire. I figured Todoroki had it for the time being, so I ran over to help the others.

Before I reached them, I fell to my knees as a sharp pain erupted in my shoulder. I reach behind me and felt the blade, fully embedded in my skin. Stain lunged at me but I sent out another wave of fire.

I got up and Todoroki sent more ice at him. I broke off the tops of the ice and sent them at Stain, but none hit him. Iida kept going on about how It was his duty to take care of stain and we shouldn't get involved.

Stain sliced the ice and lunged at us again, "You blocked your field of vision against an opponent faster than you," he hissed, "Come get me then," Todoroki yelled, and the hero killer did just that. Two blades came in contact with the boy's skin, and another two in mine.

Stain was about to lunge at Native when Midoryia got to him first. It seemed his quirk had worn off and Midoryia could move.

I wasn't feeling too good, I guess no one would if they had three knives in their arms. Midoryia had guessed stains quirk correctly, my blood type was AB so it would be a problem if he used his quirk on me.

I sent another rock his way with a bit of fire added with it. He dodged and sent yet another knife my way. It made contact with me and I heard Todoroki and Midoryia yell my name. This one was different, I dodged and it hit my shoulder because it was heading right for my throat.

Our best option was to hold since he was able to doge both mine and Todoroki's attacks. "The two of you have already lost way too much blood, I'll attack while you support me from behind," Midoryia commanded. I didn't have a choice since I was getting pretty dizzy already.

Midoryia attacked while we sent out attacks from behind. Todoroki told me to sit down since I was losing blood faster than him, but I couldn't, not now.

"If you wanna make your brother proud, then stand up and be Ingenium," Todoroki yelled, I guess Iida must have said something.

It went on for a while longer. Midoryia attacked while Todoroki and I supported from behind. I pushed through and managed to stay conscious on just adrenaline.

Stain was about to hit me again, but Iida got up and stopped him. I was filled with relief now that he was up. Stain seemed to have gone rabid though, he was attacking at random and didn't seem to have a strategy.

Stain threw knife again, but at Todoroki. I threw my arm out and so did Iida. We both got hit but he came for Iida a second time. I now had five knives in me and I could practically feel my consciousness slipping away, but I had to keep going.

Iida let out one last push, the same time as Midoryia. "Go, guys," Todoroki muttered as we stayed on the ground, I let out a weak smile and watched. They both landed hits on Stain, but he wasn't done yet. He sliced at Iida once more, but he dodged.

Iida kicked him once more and Todoroki and I completely drowned him in flames. The two landed on the ice, and the for of us got ready to fight again, but Stain was down.

We tied him up and began to walk but my legs wouldn't move. As the adrenaline faded, I soon realized that I had two knives lodged right behind my knee. I pulled them out and managed to walk the rest of the way out.

We stripped him of his weapons, and I stood outside with the others. The older man from earlier showed up, it turns out he was the man Midoryia interned with.

Many other heroes arrived and they called ambulances. Iida apologized to us, saying it was his fault, but I didn't care, I was just glad everyone was alive. The fight only took about ten minutes, but to us, it felt like a lifetime.

Suddenly, a Nomu came down and picked up Midoryia. The Nomu froze midair, and Stain was freed. He jumped up and saved Midoryia, claiming he was a true hero. He took down the Nomu like it was nothing, making us realize how powerful he really was. I stood there, petrified, not knowing if he was going to attack or not. I was truly in no condition to fight.

He stood over the Nomu, "Everything I do, Is to form a stronger society," he claimed. Endevar arrived, but even he was shocked to see the hero killer. Stains mask fell off, and for the first time, I could see his eyes. They were the eyes of a bloodthirsty, vengeful, psychopath.

His gaze had us frozen as he ranted about how the hero society must be purged, and how it would run with the blood of hypocrites. His dark aura surrounded us but soon faded. A knife fell to the ground, and so did he.

I dropped to my knees, It turns out, it wasn't anyone who stopped him. He was stopped by a fractured rib that punctured his lung. Not long after the ambulances arrived and I passed out from blood loss.

The last thing I saw before the light faded from my eyes, was shocked hero's, and traumatized teens.

A/N: I can't be the only one who thought Stain looked like one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles.
