Azreal watched as the Hero Killer murdered another hero, one he helped lure into this trap.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhMs5p6Y0J
He feels little.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSZr9Dr2E5
This is not the blood he wishes to see, the body he wishes to drop. Despite what the man told Tomura, these missions have done nothing for him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUXBMLujSO
Well, maybe he’s overworking himself. The heroes are destroying their creations faster than they can create them. But to be fair, they are just fodder.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39x9WvCFBh
But add these frequent night calls, and he’s getting just a bit annoyed. Despite that, he follows on.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW160HQjjZ
They make their way to another rooftop in search of another victim. That’s where things started to change.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ZyNlKxZV
An explosion in the distance, fire in the sky. He looks behind to see a portion of the city in flames.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkiPCB52oK
Azrael: “Tomura… ”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLQs4gMwKv
He sighs and accepts that Tomura really wants to one-up Stain. Possibly kill him in the chaos. Whatever, this experiment was a failure.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65M1nkUi9a
“EEEEEEEEEEK!? The villain is going to kill that boy!! Someone call the heroes!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyrqACgwp3
The killing duo return their gaze to the streets below. Some villain with arms of exposed muscle was chasing some child with a horned hat.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vYqiUfIWA
“Bwahahahaha! I got a job, and now this dumb brat of that hero couple came to me himself.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84MOfPOh0Z
Stain: “Be they heroes or villains, there are too many who use their quirk foolishly. Hahhhh… we’ll come back once I’m done with the next hero. Now, let’s-”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlHLJmOa3N
His body had already moved. Driven by instincts he thought discarded within that empty house.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UFvUgGk6J
“What now, kid? You were the one who came to me at my hideout. Aren’t ya a hero’s offspring? Take responsibility and entertain me more!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc04fPiv12a
“Shut up!! Father, Mother, and you!! You all think you can do anything you please! That’s why this world is rotten!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr2OEmvlYG
“Oh? What’s with kids these days? You brats like to blame everything but yourselves. I just do what I want to. Take this as a souvenir for your next life. In this world, the ones who are at fault… are those who fail to impose their will!! Like your parents!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fNDb33deo
The muscular man charges at the boy, fist raised to turn him into nothing but a smear on the ground. But like some hero, a black angel descends and blocks his blow with a simple kick.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD4TbpY0SO
Azrael: “If you’re saying that, you should accept what’s about to happen.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACVROUGmKy
“Huh? Who’s this scrawny kid!?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkpK7zL1lx
No need to respond; the lesson starts now. With a finger, Azrael picks up a nearby car and launches it at the villain. The force of the impact was enough to send him crashing into a building.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTtsc97mzC
But Azrael wasn’t done. He pointed that same finger and unleashed a purple beam of energy at the car, causing it to explode.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqrblVv0vs
Azrael: ‘Probably not out yet. That’s fine. I suppose Tomura’s outburst will prove beneficial after all. A distraction so I can deal with this.’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSHWafSEIg
Stain: “Heheh. Just as I thought. Hahhhh… you have sufficient ‘right’. Take the kid. I’ll handle the rest.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoiIzlEXWi
Stain walks past Azrael towards the villain screaming in rage from the humiliating thrashing he received.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQYCCVFzXj
Azrael: “… Very well.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJoAuZe3Al
Dusting off those old protective instincts, the man picks the boy up and jumps back to the roof. Once at a safe distance, Azrael pondered his actions.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ukVETn2z
Why did he move to protect someone he doesn’t know? He is not some hero.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaPkG2FF5X
“Look!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7wwMklfj9
The internal search abates as he looks below. While Stain and the villain were fighting, a hero clad in white armor appears and delivers a kick to Stain’s head. Rolling with the blow and countering, the hero killer shakes away the pain and glares at the newcomer.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd4GpdS6jw
Stain: “A kid in a hero uniform?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmSapWJkbg
The hero didn’t come out of the quick exchange unscathed. His helmet splits to reveal a young boy.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0gJQJj5DA
Ida: “A blood-red scarf and blades carried across your whole body… you’re the Hero Killer Stain, right!? Right!? I came chasing after you! But to think I’d find you this soon! I…”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaRDwVXJos
Azrael bites his lip at the newcomer’s reason for being here. Instead of stopping the rampaging nomu, he chooses vengeance over heroism. But unlike him, he is allowed to be a hero.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEruhxBYQQ
Azrael: “Nothing has changed…”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuqnI5yUFw
The other villain only smiled at the new meat presented to him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmDdAJpRbf
“Oh ho? He’s your foe? Sorry, kid, this guy is mine to slaughter.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoI1jIpMtQ
Ida: “Shut up! I’ll deal with you after I avenge my brother! Listen up, Hero Killer Stain! I am the brother of a hero you cut down! The brother of the finest hero!! And I have come to put a stop to you in his stead!! Don’t ever forget the name: Ingenium! That is the name of the hero who will end you!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4xzShALiC
Stain: “That so? Die.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8S2NFJiH9
And the battle resumed. Ida was the first to attack Stain but Muscular soon joined in, helping the hero deal with the main target. The boy wouldn’t have allowed such a thing usually, but he is too blinded by rage to care.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LQHZPinj1
As long as Stain was in the ground, who cares? He’ll deal with the other criminal afterwards.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEJwVHzx3Z
Azrael: “Disgusting.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OeOStMFoT
“You’re right… everyone out is of their minds… what’s so important about heroes or villains…? ”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7KxL19Qfn
He looks down at the trembling boy and feels… something…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN5QvfwYDD
“They are all selfish people who never care about others!! Go to hell! ALL OF YOU!!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFa3WZBViL
… A heartbeat within. He must understand. So he places a hand on the boy’s head. Only for the boy to knock it away.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05oRzKmwFP
“Don’t touch me! You too! You helped me just to act like a hero, didn’t you!? You don’t actually care!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz3Tt4zrmA
Azrael: “Ah… ”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWJUHJUV6d
Emotions flood a dead heart as foreign memories are transmitted into his mind. Small tears, not his own, spill from his face as he turns to look at the boy.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTidnYwZy0
Azrael: “Water Hose, right? I see… they died like true heroes. But that doesn’t change anything, does it, Kota?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJBzpwtfkj
Kota: “H-Huh!? Mind-reading quirk?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA1F0HnKzS
Azrael: “Similar, but not quite as strong as those you’re thinking of. It does, however, help me to feel and understand your pain.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMVtsynDuN
Kota: “Nonsense!! How can you understand me!?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNzJZFz1uK
For the first time in a long time, the man felt the need to take off the mask. Unlatching the locks, he takes off the protective covering.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkivv22Sbb
Azrael: “But I do. Your… bitterness, confusion, hatred. You don’t know what to do with yourself. You don’t know what’s right or wrong anymore.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXI1BuuJ4
He points at the microcosm below that showcases wider and all-encompassing problems.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM852RDtWNp
Azrael: “Look down there. The world revolves around heroes, singing their praises in this age of heroism. But it is false, and none care for those left behind by it. Whether through chance, neglect, or… ”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y72ALANUY
The ground shakes as he dwells on memories. Ripping himself from the pyre, he continues his condemnation.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUcfLo5XuK
Azrael: “It’s all a show. Villains who put people in distress or lash out against a world that rejected them. Heroes who reap the rewards and praise while being nearly just as bad. Neither side cares for those lost and forgotten in their constant back and forth. Their… broken system.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4N6sc5HtS
He returns his gaze back to what matters.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAdh3s0n1J
Azrael: “Everyone must be telling you to not cry or that your parent died honorably. To accept what the world has taken from you.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYAOaIkm9e
He bends down and places his right hand on his shoulder.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtThndJSFlA
Azrael: “Isn’t that ridiculous? Only you have to suffer the consequences of their deeds. They want you to smile and accept it, even if the burden kills you inside.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCWT0jcMO1
Kota’s eyes water as he grasps his chest.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzp1dEFAgS
Kota: “It’s not right… why did they have to die? Why do they have to fight? Why is everything like this? I-I don’t know, but… my chest hurts so badly… enough to want to die. I don’t know what to do with this pain… tell me… tell me what I should do!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y4BCXzPjI
Azrael: “Don’t worry, why? Because I am here. Let’s… change the world that takes such pain for granted or even… profits from it.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMKjJ6LEfK
Some light returns to his eyes as he looks into Kota’s soul, offering him a smile usually reserved for the small family that accepted him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTHb6RRqMG
Azrael: “Yes… that’s what we will do. For a future all our own.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9cYVQ9lTo
Kota: “You mean-”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQjmzh539C
A grunt of pain and an explosion. It seems like Stain is getting overwhelmed.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEGc3CGau4
Kota: “I-Isn’t that bad!? Your friend is going to get killed!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrEhead582
Azrael: “Don’t worry.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqaHlQDhkW
The angel places his mask back on and prepares for the first real battle of this war.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsE3DOwNe8
Azrael: “Kota. Ingrain this lesson into your mind. Words without power mean nothing. I will show a part of the power that will destroy this age and bring about a new one.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXANskaGvQT
Black lightning erupts from his eyes as he dashes into the battlefield. Seemingly teleporting between the villain/hero duo and Stain, the man glares at them both.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPLzTz9rn
Unsurprisingly, Ida seems exhausted from the heightened emotions and fight. But the muscle man was still ready to go.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UIarWSwOG
“Huh? You are pissed since your friend was crushed? Great timing!! Lemme pay you back for what you did earlier!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz0kIzzUuR
Simply sidestepping the reckless attack, Azrael activates one of his quirks: Ebony Shock.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUI9uYyRgY
A simple touch is all it takes to elicit agonizing screams from the villain. Just a graze to knock the giant down.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaulx0uWpcX
Azrael: “Your quirk made it so much easier to send electric shocks to your exposed and abundant muscle fibers. Enough to tear and burn them. Hurts, doesn’t it?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnALpek950
He doesn’t answer, only continues to unleash ungodly screams to the night sky. But… it isn’t enough. Not even close. Thunderclouds form overhead as Azrael’s eyes flash blue.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuN95PWBf3
Azrael: “No, you deserve more. Much more.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq0Qw9wyqw
Channeling the remnants of Kota’s fierce emotions, Azrael looks at his work above and raises his left hand.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsAHv86fTB
Azrael: “Begone… ”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9MRZ9SBtG
And then drops it.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yGyZ0pyDE
Azrael: “With the thunderclap.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD1Tqepp5F
Lightning drops from the heavens and strikes the evildoer. His screams? What screams? Only the chirping of a million birds can be heard.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvOJlb6Ufi
When it was all said and done, the villain was burnt and unconscious. Not dead though, Kota hasn’t had his chance for vengeance yet.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrFJrT6X72
Ida nearly drops to his knees at the display of power.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpetGFXpj9
Ida: ‘He can… control the weather?’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKub9UFt8VX
This was way beyond him; only All Might or Tatsumaki could deal with this man. He goes to run to find help… but then it happened.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGa8Z3Dx5g
Boom!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zvJrJElOR
Time slows as the boy watches his right leg explode and fall away from his body. His legs… the thing that made him a hero, a symbol of his family, his brother, is-
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrrXy81Kg0
His screams, not from pain but from anguish, are washed away by the sudden downpour of rain.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxRTaDsKcC
Azrael: “Only one, huh? I thought you would lose both, a shame. For your actions tonight, you deserve it.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE1nLMvweh
Ida: “W-Why…. H-How!?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6aXYlt6Tu
Azrael: “Your engine combusted due to the excess electrostatic in the air. Overuse prior also helped.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZp6xqIAeW
The man walked to the downed hero and smiled.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ1QTQS876
Azrael: “I want to thank you. You helped me reach my conclusion. If the next generation of heroes is like you, then we are right to do what’s necessary. For you have reeducated me about how rotten this society is. Not just one man or an organization, but the whole thing. Funny, Tomura was closer to the truth than I was.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRqF8zc6Pt
Ida: “What are you… saying?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyGWbqIfRn
He bends down and places his left hand on Ida’s shoulder.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn5u7yNtix
Azrael: “Joining forces with a murderous villain to avenge your brother. Honorable, correct? Smile! Because of you, the name 'Ingenium’ will forever be associated with a hero who is willing to cooperate with a villain for the sake of vengeance. Vengeance he failed to even accomplish.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq1Az0nQ12
Ida: “No… ”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72EtTLvyTz
Azrael: “Because of you, I am assured. The society that praises people like you deserves to fall. And when it does, we can all thank the hero ‘Ingenium’.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFt36jz0qJ
Azrael starts to laugh like mad as Ida’s eyes shrink into pools of empty darkness. When Azrael notices this, he stops and reflects on how similar those eyes look.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj76A2pcna
Azrael: “… Don’t worry, little hero, I will do you a mercy. You won’t have to live to see that moment, and neither will those who will miss you.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEbNsclWBb
His eyes widen as Azrael raises his arms to finish it. However, a green glow enveloped his arm, preventing him from delivering the final blow.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jt5Kj2svT
Izuku: “GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SA06BcQkA
The angel of death turns to see an angel of green fire. A flash of azure meets an eruption of emerald. At last, they meet.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVKOi2Rg2M
Azrael: “Midoriya…”
