My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

After speaking with the so called League of Villains, which on the surface seemed to be run by a man child despite the dark figure that was lurking in the background, but Stain found that he agreed with the true leader of the group, that those that were fake heroes had to be punished. Oddly enough he found himself believing the one Tomura called 'Sensei', because while he was a dark figure he sensed a sort of justice in his words, a vision he wanted to bring about, a world where people wouldn't be unfairly labeled. It sounded like a world where only real heroes and real villains existed, while the fake heroes were weeded out and innocent people were taught how to actually use their Quirks, instead of leaving them to be totally overwhelmed by their powers, which often resulted in the 'villains' the heroes fought. It wasn't a fantasy, like he had heard from some of the people he had encountered over the years, rather it seemed like a very real possibility that the dark figure wanted to make a reality, and Stain believed he could bring it about in due time.

Stain was standing on one of the water containers that rested on certain buildings, allowing him to look over the city that he was currently working in, and right now he was silently observing the heroes that were on the streets, silently judging each and every one of their actions.

"Hosu... such a boring and prosperous little place... almost fits the role of a starting point in games and manga." a voice said, where Stain slightly turned his head so he could glance at what was behind him, which appeared to be Tomura and the one called Kurogiri, though he failed to understand why the True Leader was even using a demented kid like this, "So, what are you doing in this boring place?"

"Work, of course. I'm going to reform it, and to do that I must sacrifice the unworthy false heroes." Stain replied, though as he said that he knew Tomura wouldn't understand his convictions, in fact he was sure that if the destructive boy was left to his own devices he would destroy all of Japan, his Decay was strong and he secretly dreaded the potential of it awakening and becoming even stronger than it currently was, "The title of 'Hero' should only be given to those who have committed great deeds and achievements, and are willing to sacrifice themselves to save others... there are too many false heroes who worship the almighty thing called 'currency', be it the dollar, yen, and so on. Until society realizes this fact, that there are far too many false heroes and not enough true heroes, I will continue to appear across Japan, smiting those that are false while paving the way for true heroes to eventually take the stage... no matter how many sacrifices it takes."

Tomura said nothing to that as Stain jumped down and descended into the city, making him look out at Hosu for a time as the Hero-Killer started to track down the first hero he wanted to slay today, a 'false hero' whose focus was on themselves and how much money they could make. He turned his thoughts to Mt. Lady, as her debut had been to steal the capture that another hero had worked hard for and Tomura remembered the look on her face that a lucky reporter had caught, one he posted off the books so people could see it, as she had been focused on the amount of money she'd be earning. He really wanted to hate Stain, but Kurogiri had taken great pains to explain that when Stain attacked those he saw as false his very actions caused crime in an area to abate, to become less intense and lessen the need for heroes. There was a fear that once Stain ran out of heroes to target he'd start targeting villains as well, so those who might commit crimes were in hiding in the areas the Hero-Killer had worked in, and such a thing made his blood boil a little.

Such a thing caused him to tell Kurogiri to return them to the bar for a moment, as he needed a word with someone before he did anything else, and once they were back inside their base he tapped the screen that connected to his Sensei's room, as the screen turned on a moment later.

Tomura, I thought you would be learning from Stain right now. Did something happen? Hisashi asked, though right now he was more interested in what his children were doing, as it was the third day of their field training and right now he found that all three of them were doing great in their respective fields, even if he would have preferred his son learning from one of the other heroes, instead of Gran Torino.

"No... other than my hatred for Stain increasing since we spoke to him." Tomura replied, which was the truth, he despised the Hero-Killer, not as much as All Might of course, and right now the only thing on his mind was wrecking Hosu to get back at Stain, hence why he came back here in the first place, "How many Nomu are ready to be deployed?"

Nomu? One, but it's just a scout, designed to retrieve a particular party in the event that I see fit to use it. Hisashi said, as he had stripped the Quirk from the good doctor's grandson, mostly due to the fact that his grandson was a criminal and was undeserving of his powers, so he had gifted it to a Nomu he designed to be a scout, hence it's name being 'Sukauto', all while the boy in question remained Quirkless.

"What?! ONE?! I thought we had six or seven!" Tomura remarked, because his Sensei was always planning ahead and he had just assumed that such a thing meant that they would have multiple Nomu prepared for the likes of Celestia and Selene, the two he wanted to ruin in addition to All Might, or kill if he got the chance, "Then... then what am I supposed to do with all the anger and hate that I feel for Stain? Wait, don't answer that... Kurogiri, we still have the location on that large gang of minor villains, right? Let's just release them into Hosu and overrun the place."

Hisashi turned off the screen as he brought his palm to his face, Tomura was just getting worse as the days went on and he was worried that there might be no teaching the boy what he was trying to teach him, all while wondering what this turn of events might cause for the rest of Japan.

Selene found that she and Mirko spent each day roaming the cities, simply fighting whatever villains they found that day and then dropped them off at the various drop off locations she used during her travels, allowing her to see that the people did appreciate her hard work in keeping all of them safe. Of course the first time they did that she discovered how the citizens reacted to her hero name, they were surprised that she went with 'Nightmare', but after explaining it a few times, and even doing good with her mentor, it seemed like they had finally understood. In addition to that she also caught wind of the fact that her sister was doing well with Ryukyu, as there were rumors about 'Daybreaker' and her amazing Quirks, which was still odd for her to hear about her sister's dark side doing good things before forcing herself to remember that it was Celestia they were talking about. Plus it wasn't just them that were doing well, because when Selene sat down for a break and looked at the various news feeds she found that nearly everyone in their class was doing well in their chosen agencies, with the sole exception of Tenya, whose area was pretty calm right now, and Izuku, who had done nothing since the start of this lesson.

Such a thing made her doubt the ability of the Gran Torino, because if he was keeping her brother from fighting villains, and was stopping Izuku from participating in hero activities, it defeated the entire purpose of this exercise and meant that her brother would stagger behind them in terms of hero experience.

"Heads up, we've got trouble. Looks like Manual's area, Hosu, is experiencing a sudden increase in hero activity and now he's calling for assistance." Mirko stated, staring at her phone for a moment with a smile on her face, because this sounded like it might be fun and it meant that there were people to save, a win-win for everyone but the various villains, causing Selene to see this as a chance to help people and work together with some of the other heroes, "That's right, we're going as well."

The two of them were able to reach Hosu in no time, where Selene found that there were all sorts of villains attacking the city, too many to count and with too many Quirks to keep track of, where some were just attacking the buildings, some were fighting the heroes, and some were just looting and pillaging. It was pure chaos, almost like a war zone, and yet she knew it couldn't be coincidence that villains were attacking the city that the Hero-Killer was rumored to be in, rather she suspected that someone was behind this attack. While she thought about that Selene rushed up the sides of the nearby building and leapt onto the back of one of the flying villains, hitting them so they could be knocked down to the streets below them, while at the same time glancing around the area for signs of who could be behind this. Sure enough she spotted Tomura off in the distance, watching the chaos unfold with binoculars based on what she was seeing, but since he wasn't doing anything she focused on the enemies that were below her, just as Ryukyu and Celestia took down two monster type Quirks.

It wasn't just them here either, Selene even spotted Endeavor down one of the roads, though his focus was less on the army of minor villains, that was why his sidekicks and Shoto were here, and more on hunting down the Hero-Killer, like he was trying to prove himself to his son or something. Such a thing showcased how desperate Manual was, to have requested add from so many different heroes and agencies, even if some came because of their own reasons, though she also noted that Tenya was missing and his superior was annoyed with his disappearance. It wasn't even long before a short old man, who matched the description of Gran Torino, smashed into the area while kicking a villain into the ground, cracking the area that was around him, while she noticed that the train rails were ruined. It was there that she thought she would find Izuku, but instead she found that her brother was nowhere to be seen and other heroes were rushing to aid the people that were on the train, something that caused her to frown as she dodged an incoming attack and knocked her opponent into one of the other villains.

As she did that Celestia spun around and knocked some other villains down, using her dragon tail, meaning they would be out for some time and would likely wake up inside a cell or room before being sentenced for their crimes, and it wasn't long before she and Celestia were back to back.

"So, bet you weren't expecting this, were you?" Selene remarked, turning for a moment as she used Hydra to block one of the incoming attacks and then protect one of the other heroes from another attack, though after that she did have to huff, as there were a lot more minor villains than they were expecting.

"Considering the attack we defeated, I can't say I'm surprised when I hear 'large group of villains'," Celestia replied, though this was an interesting time for the force of minor villains to attack, since it was taking place at night and that meant she was unable to use Sunshine, it was just the rules her Quirk played by, telling her that someone must have planned this and might have known that she and her sister were in the area, "though I'm sure there's one thing we can both agree on."

"Yeah, Izuku's going to do something stupid." Selene stated, because their brother was a good person, but he did have a bad habit of sticking his nose into things he shouldn't be involved in, especially after seeing how he reacted to Shoto's mental blockage towards his own father and the fiery half of his Quirk, and right now she suspected that he was rushing off to either find Tenya or do something else, "Let's hope he's not doing completely and utterly stupid... you know, like finding and fighting the Hero-Killer, or track down whoever is behind this invasion."

Even as she said that, however, Selene had a feeling that someone had found the Hero-Killer and was clashing with him, this seemed like the perfect time for such a thing to happen, something that caused to wonder what the next hour or two held in store for them and the rest of Hosu.
