Chapter 9 - chapter 9 Vs. Hero Killer Arc

Screen 1 – After the Sports Festival

The atmosphere at U.A. shifted. The Sports Festival was over, and now Class 1-A faced something far more serious: Pro Hero Internships.

Students gathered around as the lists were handed out. Some were excited, some nervous.

Midoriya stared at his paper. "Gran Torino… All Might's old mentor? Why would he choose me…?"

Ben glanced at his own report. "Huh. I've been assigned to work with a few Pro Heroes in Hosu. Guess they want to test what the Omnitrix can do in the field."

Before anyone could respond, the teachers' screens lit up with breaking news:

"Warning: Hero Killer sighted in Hosu. Multiple Pro Heroes injured."

Aizawa stepped forward. "You students with Hosu internships — stay alert. You may encounter a Class-S threat."

Ben tightened his gloves. "Hero Killer, huh? Sounds like trouble. I'll handle it."

Deku looked worried. "Ben… be careful. Stain is dangerous. Really dangerous."

Ben smirked. "I've fought worse."

Screen 2 – The Streets of Hosu

Night fell over Hosu City. Smoke rose from wrecked buildings. Sirens echoed everywhere.

Ben sprinted down the alleyways, scanning the area. "Where is he…?"

Suddenly, a scream cut through the night. Ben turned the corner and saw a Pro Hero bleeding on the ground.

Standing over him was a tall, lean figure with a bloodstained sword and a mask — Stain, the Hero Killer.

Stain looked up slowly. "Another fake…? Another so-called hero wearing a costume without conviction?"

Ben stepped forward and slammed the Omnitrix.

Click.

Green light filled the alley.

Humungousaur rose above Stain like a living tank.

"I'm not a fake.

And I don't like people who hunt heroes."

Stain drew his blade. "Then prove your worth."

Screen 3 – Hero Killer vs. Humungousaur

Stain dashed forward with lightning speed, slicing at Humungousaur's leg. The blade scratched the thick scales — barely making a mark.

Humungousaur growled. "You're fast. Too bad blades don't work on me."

He slammed his fist down, cracking the pavement. Stain flipped back, landing against a wall.

Stain lunged again, aiming for Humungousaur's throat, but Ben grabbed him mid-air with one massive hand.

"Got you."

He slammed Stain into the ground, the impact shaking the entire alley.

Stain tried to leap up, but Humungousaur stomped, pinning him down.

Stain hissed. "You… monster."

Humungousaur leaned in. "Wrong. I'm a hero."

With one punch, Ben sent Stain skidding across the ground, unconscious.

The Hero Killer — defeated.

Screen 4 – Aftermath

Pro Heroes arrived moments later, stunned.

"Humungousaur… took down Stain? Alone?"

Ben reverted to human form, rubbing his neck. "He wasn't easy, but yeah. He's down."

Deku arrived seconds later, out of breath. "Ben! Are you alright?"

Ben nodded. "Yeah. Guess Hosu needed a bit of alien muscle."

All Might's voice soon rang through U.A.'s comm system:

"Excellent work, young Ben! You protected lives… and upheld justice!"

Ben looked at the Omnitrix glowing on his wrist.

"Just doing what heroes do."
