5 The Burning and The Beast

*KEN'S POV*

Momo was smart annoyingly so.

"* sniffle* I'm Yaoyorozu Momo what's your name?"

"I'm Ronin and I'm here to get you home." I needed to get her as far away from me as possible as soon as possible. A small yet firm voice interrupted me.

" That's not a name and you're too young to be a hero. If you touch me ill scream!" She was now backed up in a corner looking terrified.

Right now, I was contemplating if I should just knock her out or not. She was still young and didn't even think about using her quirk to defend herself. Groaning internally, I decided her knowing my name wouldn't change anything. The homeless knew Ken was Ronin, and it was a matter of when not if, the heroes would find out.

"Ken. My name is Ken no last name." Using sooth and the truth managed to calm her down some." I'm not a hero. I'm a uhh.....vigilante. So don't worry I'll get you home." She seemed to calm down and took my hand and clung to it and my side like a lifeline. Now to get rid of this ticking time bomb of problems in the form of a child.

*GENERAL POV*

Tsukauchi:" This isn't good."

Sansa:" Understatement of the fucking year. The Yaoyorozus are very influential I'd be the will of God to stop this story from getting out to the public."

Tsukauchi"*groan* I know and when the story gets out more heroes will find out and target them...but it will also bring to light everything else they have done. Most vigilantes want recognition this will springboard them into the spotlight." Pinching the bridge of his nose he began to mutter curses. Most if not all vigilante cases aren't made public. This is both to deny them any form of fame many of them seek and to make them take more risks, so it'll be easier to catch them.

Tsukauchi:" Did the search for missing persons turn up any thing?" A despite kind of hope laced his voice as he asked his question.

At that the catman perked up:" Yeah a kid from Musutafu his parents reported him missing three years ago when he was four." But then he slumped over "*sigh* But he was diagnosed as quirkless the day before he went missing."

Tsukauchi:" Did the parents have something to do with his disappearance?"

Sansa:" No. We looked into it but couldn't find anything. His cloths were missing along with some other items. Case went cold after a month."

Tsukauchi:" You have a picture?"

Sansa:" Yeah gimme a sec to pull it up." Holding up his phone was a picture of small boy with golden eyes and white hair.

Tsukauchi:" Holy shit! Its him it's Ronin!" The scream startled everyone at the police station.

Sansa:" Wha he can't be he was diagnosed..." "LATE BLOOMER!!!" Tsukauchi interrupted. " We have one...now we just have to get him."

*KEN'S POV*

Fuck the news! Can't they do something else besides talk about the brotherhood. Isn't there like hero shit or like weather to report. The only thing that has been on the news since I've saved Momo is the brotherhood. Some talk about my young age, others talk about my brutality. They even managed to get heroes to comment on me.

Endeavour:" They are delinquents nothing more. I'll make sure that they are put behind bars like the criminals they are."

Best Jeanest:" These unruly and troubled children need to be put on the right path and face justice for what they have done."

All Might:" While I understand the want to serve justice these things should be left to the professional heroes! If you are watching this, I encourage you to turn you selves in!"

Yea I'm not gunna lie I'm not doing this out of the goodness of my heart. From the drug dealers and human traffickers, I took everything of value they had and either sold it in case of valuables or stored/spent the money.

Right now, I'm in my Hawkeye loadout in Gifu stopping a few crimes here and there, but my main priority Is to gather information. One of my biggest sources of information is birds and insects. All I really need is some bread or food to bribe them. With this peace offering they will give me the info they have and sometimes are willing to go and find out for me. *sigh* Despite my efforts trigger and several of its variants are still running rampant in the streets.

After listening to some flies and birds I turned from the group of warehouses. I was going to switch to my Senju loadout and help some of the homeless. I've copied creation and made it part of my Senju loadout. It lets me make any kind of medical item i want so long as it can fit in my duffle bag. I didn't need to know the atomic structure of what i needed, but I was limited to medical supplies from bandages to stethoscopes and even medication. Did need to study medical books so I don't accidentally poison someone. Creating a warp gate as I changed loadouts, I settled my plans till sunset. Because when the sunset I would go and paint the town red...bloody red.

--------------------Later that Night----------------

*GENERAL POV*

Blood curdling screams rang out through the night. Despite pleas of mercy, and promises of money, power, and women made in an effort to stop the Beast. All only fueled this monster, it didn't want to hear them cry, it didn't want to hear them beg, it only wanted to hear them scream.

Endeavour was on his way home to train his son when he got a call about screams coming from the warehouse district. While Gifu was not his usual stomping grounds, he was asked to help clear out some poisonous plants some with a plant passed quirk made.

Getting closer he could hear the faint screams, speeding up he soon arrived to a slaughter. People with limbs twisted this way and that lay on the ground not making a sound. The remains of furniture and crates lay shattered on the ground. Only the sound of brutal impacts rang through the warehouse. Fearlessly following the sound, he found a shirtless boy with red hair, with a grey/ brown mask, covered in tattoos and had what looked like a spiked bat on his back standing over unconscious and severely injured person. Almost as feeling his gaze the boy turned to face him.

The empty black eye sockets of the mask met his eyes, while some might me unsettled, he wasn't. The child was bulky and covered in blood, he stood at 135cm and was letting out what sounded like a growl.

Endeavour:"You boy give up now or I'll put you down." What could only be described as a growl slowly turned into a guttural and animalistic laugh. Then it spoke two words "Make me".

Using shunshin the Beast was in front of Endeavour fist buried in his stomach. Making him bend over, breath leaving his lungs, and eyes widening in shock and pain. Before he could react the Beasts, other fist blurred uppercutting him sending him flying back. Rolling to his side Endeavour shook his head and tried to regain his breath. Shooting a murderous look at the Beast the temperature began to rise.

Letting out a snarl Endeavour shot a stream of orange borderline white fire. Facing the attack head on the Beast charged through the flames. While the flames didn't physically harm the Beast it could still fell the heat of the flames. Gritting its teeth, it charged forward grabbing onto the arm that was shooting the flames and used it to spring up to Endeavor's face and headbutt him breaking his nose and making him stagger back. Before the Beast could land however Endeavour regained his footing and shot a fist wreathed in white fire striking the Beast in the chest and sending him flying out of the warehouse. Not wasting a second Endeavour followed after.

Rolling on its back the Beast the beast skidded to a stop on all fours letting out a low growl. Muscles bulging, he charged at the living flamethrower hands opened in a claw like gesture. Catching the flame covered fist the beast squeezed until he heard the sound of breaking bones and tearing muscles. Letting out a scream of pain Endeavour punched the Beast in the head several times, before grabbing its face and releasing his flames, heat building till they turned blue. He didn't let up until the Beasts grip loosened. Staggering back one hand mutilated with torn skin and bones poking out. The other was covered in third-degree burns. Looking at the head less corpse he was met with a glowing red mask with hollow black eyes. In the blink of an eye, it was gone but the pain of his shattered kneecap let him know where it went.

The Beast was pissed this child abuser thought he could bring it down; thought you could break the Beast? NO! It was the one that broke! It shattered bones tore muscles and obliterated peoples will. And this walking candle would break like the rest, it would make sure of it.

Endeavour's screams echoed through the warehouse district. Walking to the other side of him the Beast stomped down on his other knee casuing it to make a sickening pop. Falling forward he tried to catch himself with his burned hand, only for the Beast to drive its elbow into his low back causing another popping sound. Laying face down Endeavour tried to get up, but the Beast's hand grabbed the back of neck squeezing as it spoke.

"Pathetic! How could a coward who's only way to succeed is to send a child to do a man's job pose any threat to me!?" Fingers digging in to Endeavours neck piercing skin he lifted him up just enough to meet its eyes. "Killing you would be an act of mercy....unfortunately for you I have no mercy." Grabbing Endeavour by either side of his head the Beast proceeded to ram its knee into Endeavour's face repeatedly.

The sound of flesh hitting flesh rang long into the night and early morning. Endeavour wouldn't be found until the next morning.
