"We've found another, this time it's the pro hero Tailman," A cop stated to Lemillion.

"We've found more pro heroes killed from knife wounds but I'm certain they're targeting the old A class of UA," Lemillion stated as he examines the body. "Like Uravity, Tailman was strung up as a message to us. Other heroes are killed if they're in the way but the killer presents their important victims in a dramatic fashion."

Lemillion sent out a warning to all the previous UA students from class A, at the same time he tried to figure out who could be the one behind it. All members, contacts, and even associates of the League should have been dealt with. 

Meanwhile, at the warehouse, Eri was back in the corner mumbling to herself.

"You're right Deku, the anniversary is coming up. I knew you wouldn't forget," Eri said smiling at the notebook. "The anniversary of when you saved me from Overhaul."

"Yes twice I know Deku wasn't alone. It's been so long, every passing year the memories become harder to remember." 

Resting her head against her arm Eri's thoughts began to wander. Back to a time when she was a kid; back to the time when she was at the mercy of Overhaul. Lemillion the hero who couldn't save her and Deku the villain who did. 

The plan was simple. Twice cloned Eri and swapped the original with the fake, Once the heroes invaded the clone was killed leaving blood and the tattered clothes of the original behind. This devastated the heroes who believed they were too late. The death of Eri was pinned on the League and became part of the justification for their execution.

"You were blamed for my death and here I am killing the heroes who captured you. No, I don't blame myself Dabi. I'm not the child who blames herself for things happening, I'm doing this because the heroes took away what was precious to me." 

Eri couldn't help but pass out in the corner from exhaustion only waking up once the sun had set. Her next target would be the hero duo Earphone Jack and Chargebolt. A few hours later she arrived at their usual patrol route.

"Aren't you suspicious, skulking in the alley as if you're waiting to ambush someone," Chargebolt states as he snuck up on Eri.

"Shit!" She cursed 

Eri tries to activate her quirk but she couldn't concentrate as she was avoiding electricity, once she gets some space to try again a huge sounds blast knocks her into a nearby wall. 

"For someone who knows our patrols, you seem to of forgotten there's two of us," Earphone Jack states.

Eri shook her head, she felt dizzy and couched a little blood as she stood up. Another sound blast came at her as she managed to dodge. Chargebolt pointed his finger in the direction she dodged as a shot of electricity struck Eri. There was a small disc attached to a wall she didn't see when she dodged Earphone Jack.

Eri was leaning against a wall as her body was slightly spasming in pain, it wasn't anything compared to the experiments she endured as a child. Gritting her teeth she tried to push through the pain.

"I've got to get out of here," She muttered.  

Eri turned the corner quickly and activated her quirk at the largest radium she could. It could only stop someone for a couple of seconds and after its effect, it would be days before she could use her quirk. She utilized those few seconds as best she could, running through the alleys to escape. 

The heroes knew what Eri looked like now and within a few days would have wanted posters of her everywhere. When Eri made it back to the warehouse her body collapsed as all the tension and adrenaline left her body. 

"I can't take revenge alone I'll need to gather allies. No Shigaraki I don't know how to be a leader."

"Hey Deku I remember you mentioning a kid named Kota who hated heroes, I wonder if I can recruit him." 

Once Eri's picture was found on security cameras Lemillion had it sent to the police's forensic arts. He wanted an age regression photo of what she probably looked like a little over ten years ago. The picture of the villain looked vaguely familiar to the girl he couldn't save, he didn't believe it was her but he had to be sure.
