Sirens ran in the distance as L'Oreal collapsed against the center fountain, staring at Izuku with fearful eyes.

The green, lively, mad eyes emitted a gleam that pierced into his soul, making him tremble in fear.

Izuku walked slowly towards him, smiling sadisticly as he raised his bloody pair of scissors.

"HEY KID! THE COPS ARE COMING! ITS TIME TO GO!" Yelled Sachi in the distance.

Suddenly, Izuku snapped out of his trance. Eyeing down at his victim distributed a pungent feeling of shock throughout his system, making him pant heavily and sweat as he dropped to his knees.

"W-What was that?! What the fuck was that?!" He thought as he felt a strong pull as Sachi grabbed him and ran.

When the police arrived on scene, the duo was long gone, leaving the place trashed. Looking towards the center fountain, they found L'Oreal, slumped over and trembling with fear.

As the head chief went up, he noticed his stab wound, and requested immediate backup.

The news agency and ambulances arrived soon after, as they draped the trembling hero in a medical blanket and interrogated him in the ambulance.

"Tell me, L'Oreal, what happened." As the police chief.

The trembling hero looked at him and mumbled.

"I'm quitting."

"Excuse me?" Asked the police chief.

"I can't face that, not a second time." L'Oreal responded.

"Face "that"? Face who?"

Izuku popped into L'Oreal's head once again as he curled into a ball.

"a true villain."

Izuku found himself in an alleyway, not the most welcoming place to wake up in, but he was too emotionally drained to feel fear, or any emotion at all for that matter.

All he wanted to do was fall back asleep and hope it was all just a bad dream. That man, it wasn't him, it couldn't be.

He would never have enjoyed the suffering of others so thoroughly. Was it the satisfaction of finally fighting back that gave him such enjoyment? Was it the bloodlust? Him just getting too into his role as a saviour of who he believed was the real victim?

He didn't want to think much. All he knew was whoever that was, he would prefer just keeping him locked deep within his subconscious.

"So you're finally awake." Said a familiar voice. It was Sachi, who was sitting on a pile of boxes right across him.

"You're still here?" Asked Izuku

"I've been here, waiting for you to wake up." Said Sachi.

"How long was I out?" Asked Izuku.

"2 hours, I wouldn't say from fatigue, rather, emotional shock." Responded Sachi, before springing upwards and rushing to Izuku.

"Now tell me how you did those awesome tricks!" He said with a suddenly burst of livelihood and excitement.

"Tricks?" Asked Izuku in confusion.

"Yeah! You know, the thing you did back there against "Bore-real"" he said, purposefully modifying his name.

"Ah those? I just threw hair spray at him, it was said to be able to keep hair still." Responded Izuku.

"Whoa! I never thought of that! You really know how to improvise! Man I envy you!" Said Sachi.

Envy? He who was bullied since youth, laughed at for his ambitions, having his dreams crushed and grounded by those he cared about and admired, the only living human being, possibly, to have no quirks was being envied upon?

"Do you... actually mean that?" Asked Izuku.

"Yeah! I've always admired smart and dedicated people like you." Sachi said with a suddenly depressed tone, "Shame I wasn't the same, I am a slow thinker and give up easily. I just wish I could have a Quick Brain Quirk like yours!"

Izuku felt his built up hope crumble once again. A quirk? He envied him over a quirk he doesn't even have? He knew it.

Nobody wants to be like him, he's just the notebook example of Rock-bottom.

"sorry to burst your bubble Sachi. I have no quirk." Said Izuku in a saddened tone. He could see Sachi's eyes take up a shocked expression.

"So you are... Quirkless?" Asked Sachi.

"Come on, laugh. That's the only thing that's missing now." He thought, bracing himself for the pity laughs he was showered in for years.

"THAT'S EVEN MORE AWESOME! MY BOY! YOUR A YOUNG GENIUS!" Sachi cheered while shaking him.

Izuku was confused by his joy.

"Wait... so you're not gonna laugh at me?" Asked Izuku.

"Why would I? And why should I? You can defeat a man who spent three years at Yuuei training his quirk to defeat other quirk users all without any special powers! You have no special powers, but that's what makes you special! Now come here my partner!" Sachi said while giving him a huge hug.

Although, something about all this just didn't feel right to Izuku. How could this be a villain?

He was so cheerful, so encouraging, and he did what an actual hero, nay, the number one pro hero and the man he admired all of his life couldn't do: he believed in him.

"How could someone like you be called a villain?" Izuku asked in confusion.

Sachi let Izuku go from his bear hug and answered.

"Well, I hurt people. Frankly, I'm was surprised someone actually came to save me back there." Said Sachi.

"Of course, I had too." Said Izuku.

Sachi sat down and looked him directly in the eyes.

"Look, kid, I've killed people in the past. I've been convicted of robbery and scamming.

People like me are the kind of guys you'd see in prison. "Because I had too" is no answer to my question, so I'm gonna ask you again: Why. Did. You. Save me?" Sachi asked in a serious tone.

Izuku clenched his fist.

"Because you looked like you were in need of help. Yet because of your status, people neglect you, ridicule you, and turn away from you! And I know how that feels! Because of my lack of quirk, my mother is overprotective and doesn't let me follow my dream of becoming a hero because she thinks I might get hurt."

After a moment he said again, "I get picked on at the park and at school because I have no means to defend myself. There are times where I would spend my entire day looking at videos of other heroes, because they have the life that I want. But even they turned me down. I spent my whole life crying for help... yet no one came. So when i saw you on your knees begging, I didn't see a villain. I looked into your eyes, and I saw myself." He cried out.

At that point, the tears just kept going. He always suffered, was always left in the dirt. All of his problems, his sorrow, his inner demons, he just wanted to cry them out, to have them leave in body.

Being able to finally let out his frustrations was just too much for him. Feeling lightheaded, he dropped to his knees, but luckily, Sachi was there to catch him.

"It alright kid, just breathe." Said Sachi.

"Sachi... what are villains really like?" Izuku suddenly asked.

"While we may look merciless on the outside, many of us are still human on the inside. Of course, there are hundreds of exceptions, but for the most part, we were just born under the wrong star. Whether it was abusive parents, a poor family or having a family member that holds a criminal record. The sad part is, due to these circumstances, we were never able to live a normal life, so we rob and sometimes even kill just to get by on life. We are the ones heroes should be helping, yet they prey on us like we were never welcome in the first place." Answered Sachi.

"I can see that, I've always had a feeling of not belonging, yet no one seemed to care about me. It was as if there's just always meant to be a hero and a villain." Said Izuku.

"THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING!" Ranted Sachi, "They claim they want peace! Shouldn't that mean "reduce the amount of villains" instead of "whack a villain if they show up?"."

Izuku started to leave the alley.

"where are you going?" Asked Sachi.

"I see what these heroes truly want now." Said Izuku, "What they want, is fame. And what better way for a hero to become famous Than to beat of bad guys? I now see. Villains are just the people society selects to hate. The weak that only exists to be preyed upon. I'm not standing for this. If it's a villain they want..."

Izuku clenched his right fist as he lifted his dirtied All Might hood and hid his face in his mask.

"Then it's a villain they'll get!"

"IZUKU! I WAS SO WORRIED!" Cried Inko as she hugged Izuku the second he came through the door.

"It's fine mom, I'm fine!" Said Izuku smiling happily.

"Well you look like you had a good time today. Something happen?" Asked Inko, noticing his smile.

"Oh nothing, I just came through a breakthrough." Said Izuku,"I now know what I really want to do when I grow up."

"Really? what is it Izuku?" Asked Inko.

Izuku smiled.

"A hero." Izuku lied, before running to his room, leaving his mother confused.

"Didn't you always want to be a hero? Izuku?!" Into asked, but to no response.

Running into his room. He opened his laptop, only this time, he wasn't searching for heroes, but for villains. Their names, quirk, usual locations where they appear at. He needed to know who he could trust.

One villain However, peeked his attention, and his name was Kai Chiaki. Soon after, he opened a book hidden under his bed, the one he knew he couldn't bring to school since Bakugou would have destroyed it.

His own, hand made hero encyclopedia. The book contained the names, quirks, backgrounds and sometimes even weaknesses of all known heroes he observed and noted through the course of nearly 5 years.

He knew that since he didn't have a quirk, he was gonna have to counter other quirk users.

But He knew that since he was gonna be fighting heroes, he would need to team up with other villains, hence he needed his own villain Identity.

After an hour of scribbling, he finally came up with his new identity.

"Mightless" the Hero Hunter.
