Sam stared at Stain just as coldly as Stain does with him.
"Samuel Suzuki. What's a broken doll like you doing here?"
Sam scoffed.
"I had a feeling that four-eyes over there would try and hunt your ass. I wanted to get to you before he could, but it looks like that's not how it's going to happen."
Stain snarled.
"You came to save this faker? I'm not shocked. After what you did to All Might, you might as well be the worst fake of them all."
"Pfft!"
Sam nearly bursted in laughter. But that laughter had no hint of amusement in it. Instead, it was a laugh of pure rage.
"Stain… I've met scum like you before. You force your ideals on others, kill those who go against your perfect ideals. You're nothing but a pathetic swine who should have never been born."
Sam spits out with the utmost hatred.
Everyone in the alley was shocked by the hate Sam held for the hero killer. If anything, they would think Sam would agree with the hero killer.
Stain narrowed his eyes.
"I only kill fakes. Fakes like you. You act like some humanitarian who cares for people. But we both know, you are just as blood soaked as I am."
Sam didn't flinch.
"Y-you're wrong! Sam is different from you!"
Sam raised a brow, seeing Midoriya standing up. The effects of Stains quirk released.
Stain grimaces. Understanding that Midoriya has a blood type that resists his quirk the most.
Midoriya tries to defend Sam some more, but before he can Sam raises a hand, stopping him.
"It's okay. He is right."
That shocked the students.
Even Native, who was watching this all occur.
Stain doesn't change his expression.
"You are right, Stain. I'm going to hell. I've killed so many people. And I can't say that all of the people I killed had it coming. Some were just people doing their jobs and were at the wrong place at the wrong time."
Sam sighed, remembering the time he fought those Somalian pirates. Some of which were just kids being forced to fight.
The others were shocked. They didn't know that.
"But here is the thing. I, at least, would never stoop so low as to kill someone just for a stupid reason such as being a fake hero. You know what that makes you? A lowly Tyrant. Everyone else is wrong, in your eyes. And those who are wrong must die! Right?!?"
Sam's words echoed in the alleyways.
Even Stain halted, feeling those words enter his very being.
"I've seen tyrants before. They always thought they were doing the right thing for their people. But they saw opposition as treason. And executed the opposers. The intentions may have been somewhat decent, but the moment they decided to kill someone just for their beliefs, is when someone becomes a tyrant, and that includes you. These heroes may be fakes and they may be in it for money and fame, and you might not like them because of it. But just because you dislike them, doesn't justify killing them. Thats what a tyrant does."
Sam clenches his fist.
"But at the end of the day, let's say these heroes are all fake. Does it matter? What matters is if they get the job done! Sure, they may have different motives, but that doesn't mean they can't do the job! Again! That's classic tyranny!"
Sam looked at stain and just saw another warmonger like the scum he saw in Africa. The worst humans in his opinion.
Stain is shaking. Everyone sees him gripping his swords tight.
"Your words… hold merit. I will go to hell as well. I am a monster. A murderer. And I do kill for my own beliefs. But someone must. And if it must be me than so be it!"
"No… nobody has to do this. You do it because you feel better about yourself for getting rid of another obstacle in the way of your ideals onto world. Tyranny! Like I said!"
"Shut your mouth!"
Stain throws a knife right at Sam.
Sam brings his arm up and the knife goes right into his arm.
He doesn't even flinch, even though the knife went right into his arm.
"""Sam!!"""
The three students looked with shock and worry.
"You are only proving my point. You don't like my words, so I have to die."
"No! You will die here today for one reason! You nearly killed All Might! The one true hero! The only one I would allow to kill me! That sin cannot go unpunished!"
Sam rolled his eyes.
"So pathetic… so that's it? You're just a psycho All Might fanboy?"
Stain dashes right at Sam.
Sam pulls out the knife in his arm and gets ready for Stains approach.
More knives are thrown, but an ice shield blocks them.
He sees Midoriya go and try to kick Stain, who dodges.
Iida seems to still be paralyzed.
"That's enough!"
Izuku yells.
"Sam is right. You really are just a fundamental lunatic. Don't listen to him Iida."
Iida feels his body control returning.
"You say you don't want the name Ingenium to die? Then stand up!"
Todoroki encouraged Iida.
However, Iida felt some truth in Stains assessment of him.
'What have I been doing? Because of my selfishness, my friends are putting their lives on the line. I can't allow this!'
Stain throws knives at Todoroki, and Sam sees that he won't be able to dodge them.
"Todoroki! Watch out!"
Sam yells, too far to stop it.
But luckily…
Stab!
Iida takes the knives to the forearm.
""Iida!""
Midoriya and Shoto yell for their friend.
Sam looks at Iida, and sees pure resolve.
He sighed.
'I guess it's true. Experience truly is the best teacher.'
"Todoroki, Midoriya, Suzuki. I'm sorry. I dragged you into this. This doesn't concern you."
"Are you still going on about that? We aren't abandoning you."
"This doesn't concern you, but you still came for me. Thank you. I won't let the name Ingenium die! Suzuki, I'm sorry I made you come here. But your words ring true. He is a tyrant. And I am a fool. A fool who let anger control me. But I must see this through."
Sam looks closer. He sees that Iida meant every word.
He then looks at Todoroki and Midoriya, and sees that they also have a determined expression.
'These brats…'
Sam could only look at them with shock. They were afraid, but they are conquering it to save lives.
He then smiles.
He steps back, out of the action.
Stain looks at that questioningly. So do the others.
"I'm letting these three deal with you Stain. Iida came here to stop your madness, and that's what he will do. These other two brats will help him. Today, you're finished, Tyrant!"
Sam looks at his classmates.
"You kids impressed me. I'll leave him to you. I know you can beat him. I'll be on stand-by to make sure you guys don't die."
Sam says with a smile.
The three students are confused, but nod at each other. This was the opportunity they needed.
"You think you have changed? Once a fake always a fake! And once a monster! Always a monster! You and me Suzuki!"
Sam ignores it and allows Iida to take control.
"Hero killer. You are right. I am no hero. But I can't let you win. Because if you win, the name Ingenium dies! I won't let it. I will see to it your tyranny is put to an end! You will go back where you belong! Prison!"
Sam smiles a bit more.
He sees Iida ask Todoroki to freeze his engine legs.
'I see. He is going to ease the heat from the exhaust.'
He also sees Midoriya with injured arms, getting ready to use his legs.
'And he is learning not to copy All Might. Amazing.'
Both launch at Stain who had been in the air, preparing for an aerial attack.
"Go guys…"
Todoroki says next to me.
They see both Iida and Midoriya kick Stain, knocking him out cold.
To add icing on this beatdown, Todoroki blasted him in flames.
He the makes an ice ramp and has Iida, Midoriya and the hero, Native, brought over to them safely.
"Way to go Todoroki. You're finally not letting that flaming diaper control you."
Todoroki made a slight smirk.
He just nods.
Iida and Midoriya both shakily get up. Well, Iida does. Midoriya is completely spent but still gets up.
"Iida. How's it feel?"
They all looked at Sam.
"What?"
"You heard me. How does it feel? You put an end to the tyrants genocide against the heroes. You avenged your brother. How does it feel?"
Iida just looked down at his messed up arms.
"Honestly, I just feel terrible. Because all of you got injured and nearly killed because of my rashness."
Sam just smirked.
"Yeah. Revenge isn't worth it. Trust me. There are quite a few people in this world I would jump for joy if they died. And even before leaving Africa, part of me just wanted to find those people and kill them and get my revenge. But that would have been pointless. Sure, they live. And sure, my hatred still roars. But I would rather live my own life and not let the scum control it."
They all look shocked at Sam. They sometimes forget that Sam has seen hell.
They eventually snap out of it and tie stain up.
Sam goes and grabs Zola's knife. He holds it close to him.
Finally they get out of the alley, midoriya being carried by Native and everyone else holding Hero killers weapons.
———
The first thing that happened when they exited the alley, was Midoriya getting kicked in the face by an old geezer.
"Gran Torino!"
Sam cocks his head at that familiar name.
"Like that old movie with Clint East-"
"Quiet brat! Anyway! Where do you get off on leaving when I told you to stay put?!"
"H-how did you find us?"
Midoriya sheepishly asked.
"Me!"
Dropping from a nearby building, Mirko arrives on the scene in style.
"Oh, Rumi. How are things?"
"Don't call me Rumi on the job, idiot! And of course we kicked some ass!"
She punched her hand like a battle maniac.
Sam just rolls his eyes.
Meanwhile, Midoriya just stares at her.
"I-is that the number 5 hero, The Rabbit hero: Mirko?!?!?"
Sam just shrugs.
"Yeah."
He is having a fanboy moment and Sam can feel Rumi's ego having a blast with Midoriyas muttering.
Slap!
"Oww!"
"Knock it off. You're being creepy."
Sam slapped Midoriya in the back of his head, knocking him out of his muttering.
"S-sorry."
"You guys look injured."
"Wait… is that the hero killer?"
Some more heroes, likely sidekicks, showed up. Finished with most of the Nomu's.
Mirko looks behind Sam and sees the noseless guy.
"Well, well! You actually did it!"
Mirko has a grin, thinking Sam did it.
"Sorry. I had nothing to do with it. These three did it."
Mirko raised a brow, but then just shrugged.
Iida ended up apologizing for his actions and Sam didn't really listen because he felt something was off.
Suddenly Sam feels his instincts screaming to dodge. He runs towards Mirko who was in the line of whatever was coming and pushed her to the ground with him.
"Oof!"
She was winded after he speared her to the ground.
Sam feels the wind blow over him and sees that the nomu went for the next closest target. Midoriya."
"Let me go!"
"""Midoriya!"""
Sam, Iida and Todoroki screamed as the Nomu grabbed Izuku and flew off with him.
But before anyone could make a plan on how to save him, Stain awakened and lick the blood from the Nomu off someone's cheek. That caused the Nomu to fall, and Stain escaped his binding and jumped at the Nomu. He also saved Midoriya.
When they both hit the ground, stain lets Izuku go.
"T-this society! It's rotten! The fakes must be purged!"
Stain wobbles away from the dead Nomu.
"Why are you all just standing like fools?"
Stains eyes widen. Then, they radiate an unholy killing intent.
All the heroes and students, minus Sam, feel immobilized by the killing intent.
"Endeavor! You fake!"
"Someone must be dyed in blood! I must take back what it means to be a hero! Come! try and get me, fakes! There is only one I will allow to kill me…"
Everyone feels like he is about to attack but can't move.
"All Might is worth-Oof!!!"
Just before Stain could finish, Sam, who was walking up to Stain while emitting that killing intent, punches stain right in the gut. This time, knocking him out for good.
"No. You're nothing but a tyrant. Because you think the world is wrong, you think anyone who doesn't fit your standards should die. Fuck you! You aren't some guy trying to do good! You're a monster. A lowly murderer. And that's all you will ever be."
Sam looked down at the unconscious villain. To further his hate for Stain, he spits on his unconscious face, now revealed to show his ugly noseless face.
"I guess the flesh does reflect the madness within."
Everyone watching could only stare in shock. Sam, the quirkless monster, was able to move in that killing intent.
Sam just ignored them and walked away. Not even caring that it was all filmed. Not even aware that the scene of Stain's convictions and Sam's rebuttal has already begun trending
