As you may recall, Ryukyu and Izuku went to patrol Hosu city after their brief encounter at the former's agency. So now, they're still walking down the street and looking for any villain they could fight in their dragon forms without potentially destroying dozens of buildings. Though they were unsuccessful in their adventure.

But finally, a giant villain appeared with ape-like fur after poorly mugging someone, they still had their purse in his large, hairy hand. "Midoriya, please stand back and watch me fight," Ryukyu ordered as she started to run towards the villain and transformed into her dragon form.

Immediately after her transformation, she used her left claw to pin the villain on the street which was already evacuated. In return, the villain used his ape strength to try to pry away her claw, barely getting her to budge as she started to add more pressure.

"Get rid of your quirk and this will end peacefully." She ordered as the villain started to lose their ape hair and shrink down, but they were still trapped under Ryukyu's claw. "Midoriya, that is how you defeat a villain peacefully." She said as the police arrived and arrested the villain while returning the stolen purse.

Ryukyu simply returned to her normal form at Izuku's side, ready to spread some of her knowledge about taking down villains. "Ryukyu, how did you get them to stop using their quirk?" He asked as the woman in question smiled slightly.

"Intimidation. Most villains are petty and inexperienced, so using my dragon form, I can scare them which usually ends my small fights fairly quickly." She said as Izuku wrote down the idea on a notepad within his hero suit. "You should learn to do it as well. It'll settle things down quickly and creates less of a mess. Though you may not be the most exciting hero to watch." She said before they both chuckled a bit, but continued their patrol.

As the two walked further, they heard an alarm and headed towards the source. And behold, a jewelry store robbery was commencing right in front of them. The actual villain had black feathery wings and viciously sharp claws as if she was a Harpy, but that may or may have not been the case as she tried to fly away with her new loot.

"Izuku, your turn," Ryukyu said simply as Izuku nodded and started to transform into an ice dragon, slowly though as his mana wasn't concentrating properly.

Nonetheless, he ran after the Harpy woman and started to fly after her with his dragon form, though it seemed delicate and unstable. With a single breath, Izuku froze the woman's left wing before she started to drop and tried to claw away at the ice. Though she couldn't break it, Izuku caught the woman gently within his right claw before he descended and he pinned her to the ground like Ryukyu did moments ago.

"Surrender... " Izuku said shakily yet menacingly as cold mist escaped his mouth and chilled the woman's face.

"Who do you think you are!?" The woman screeched as she started to claw away at Izuku's arm, but it only got the rest of her body frozen instead.

"Foolish... Woman... " He said shakily again as the woman's head was the only thing not frozen, but even then she could barely move her head around. Before she could struggle further, the cops came and took her into custody, after Izuku broke the ice with his claw.

Then he reverted back to his human form and healed the wounds the woman made on his right arm, but his boss walked up to him with her usual humble reaction to most things. I mean she could've been top 5 but she declined until she was forced to stay at number 9.

"Excellent execution, but your form seemed unstable compared to what I saw at the Sports Festival. It seems you're not completely healed but just remember that you have my help." She said as Izuku finished healing himself and could sense a large gathering of mana.

~ Start Music Now, Please ~

"Thank you, but there's a large mana signature that way *points north*. Do you mind if I head over there?" He asked as Ryukyu looked that direction to see a small mass of mist high in the sky.

"No, I'll follow your lead. You seem more experienced with this magic stuff anyways." She said as the two took on their dragon forms and flew towards the rift.

In a matter of seconds, Ryukyu's pink dragon form and Izuku's storm dragon form arrived at the rift which was taking in mana from its surroundings at an alarming rate. And eventually, the rift opened to let through a sky blue wyvern which flew up and started to screech at the two of them before trying to freeze over Izuku, but he blew a lightning bolt to counter it.

"Ryukyu, please evacuate the citizens. This dragon may be too much for even you to handle." He said telepathically as she nodded after thinking it through but narrowly dodged the wyvern trying to claw them apart.

"Fine. I believe you can do this on your own." She said before diving back down towards the city of Hosu, where everyone was already in a panic from the three dragons in the sky.

'Let's try something new. Is my guardian angel still in my body?' He asked himself as he reverted to his normal form and set up a barrier to protect the city.

"I'm here, but what do you need from me? I thought you wanted to stray away from using my mana." She replied a bit sassy as Izuku started to run on the barrier.

'You've messed up my mana circuits! I need help with this beast anyway!' He yelled as he created a spell circle on each of his forearms. 'Even if I don't use that form, I need a stable flight technique to fight a wyvern properly.'

Without arguing any further, Izuku's mana started to pour out his back to form wings and through his left hand to form his buster blade rip-off. But he still didn't comment on it as he started to flap his new wings and take flight towards the wyvern. Forcing him to narrowly dodge an Ice Breath again as he planted his giant blade into the back on the wyvern, which made it fall onto the barrier.

Then, Izuku ripped his blade out as the wyvern threw him off its back, but stayed on the barrier instead of in the skies. Yet the creature tried to freeze Izuku once again, only to be blocked with Izuku's Baria which seemed to just destroy the attack on contact.

After that deflected attack, Izuku crouched down and flapped his new wings as hard as he could to fly towards the dragon's mouth. Which actually worked, but the dragon used its ice breath again which was deflected by Izuku's spell circle on his right forearm. So he entered the mouth of the dragon which closed shut once he entered, but he didn't need it as he infused his blade with as much mana as he could muster at the moment before piercing through the dragon.

Once he left the creature's body, it started to dissipate into particles that floated up into the rift. While Izuku was left in a slimy mess of saliva, his wings and Buster Blade were gone after the short-lived battle. And of course, his barrier around the city started to fade which left our protagonist to fall through the sky. Well, that was until Ryukyu flew up and grabbed him with her claw, though she was completely grossed out at the mess he was in.

Once she landed again, she let go of Izuku and reverted to her human form with the cops checking around for what they thought was a villain. "So, mind telling me what that creature was and why it was here?" She asked as Izuku stepped away from her before a swirl of flames surrounded him and got rid of the saliva.

"That was a wyvern. A ruler of the skies, but they obviously don't live in this realm." He said before closing his eyes and looking for any odd mana signatures. "Though I don't know why it'd be attracted to Hosu of all places. Most dragons seek treasure or a strong opponent to rival them, otherwise, they're sleeping most of the time."

"A question for another time then. We should get going back to the agency and fill out our report about the two actual villains." She said before the two walked back to her agency, which still had that shiny shimmer to it.

The next few days were much like Izuku's first day, a few villains that were defeated by pure intimidation from two dragons staring down at them and an otherworldly creature trying to attack Hosu city. Though it was a hellhound by itself, it was easily defeated by Izuku who used his water mana to drown the fire creature. It made him sad to drown a dog though.

Now they were on patrol once again, just wandering around Hosu and dealing with the small villains that tried to commit crimes with heroes walking around the city at all times. Though they weren't that dumb, some villains try to commit crimes in broad daylight and don't even get that close to escaping.

But that's not important right now, cause it's sun-down and an explosion sounded near the downtown area. So, Ryukyu and Izuku started to fly there, only to see a bunch of fire and three Nomu. All of them had their brain exposed, but only one seemed similar to what they've seen.

A light-yellow-skinned Nomu had two wings protruding out of its back and its eyes were on the side of its brain, throughout all that, it wore a metal mask over its mouth. The second Noumu had no eyes, black skin, and trousers with shinguards. While the third one had four eyes, faded blue skin, and ripped trousers.

"Midoriya, help out the citizens and try to put out the fire from here. I'll take on the winged creature," Ryukyu ordered as Izuku returned to his normal form and she flew after the winged one, pinning it down to the ground.

'Okay, just gotta get rid of this fire. Ryukyu wouldn't give me this task if she didn't think I could do it.' He thought to himself as he made a spell circle and made a barrier appear over Hosu once again. Using this barrier he prepared his next spell to put out the fire. "Shawā no yōna ame!" He shouted as a dark blue spell circle appeared over the city and it started to rain, putting out some of the fires as some attention was brought over to Izuku who was struggling to keep up the spell, but stopped once he couldn't see any more fire.

With the fire out of the way, Izuku fell to one knee and closed his eyes and searched for Ryukyu's mana signature. When he found her signature, her life force or mana was fine and stable as she continued to fight the winged Nomu.

'Let's see Endeavor's in the field, so is Manual and Todoroki. But Iida-kun went with Manual for his internship.' He thought before feeling his demon side feeding on malicious intent and started running towards the source, only to find an alley with three select people in it.

In that alley was the hero Native, Tenya Iida, and the hero killer Stain. But it seems that Stain already defeated Native as he was slumped against the wall and barely conscious, while Tenya was taking his fighting stance against the killer.

"Stain... you'll pay!" Tenya shouted as he tried to kick Stain but the latter jumped and kicked him in the chest. 

"Revenge will get you nowhere, Fake hero." He said dreadfully as Izuku made himself apparent with a bolt of mana blasting Stain back, although he blocked most of the damage with one of his knives. "Seems we have another kid trying to play hero."

"Playing or not, you're hurting my friend and I won't stand here doing nothing," Izuku said as he formed his hands into fists and held them out in front of him, side by side. And as he pulled his right hand away, a blade of pure mana formed, though it still seemed unstable as it would flicker every now and then.

In an instant, Izuku flash stepped towards Stain and drew blood with a downward slash of his blade but at the same time, three dragons flew over the city and started to clean up the rubble while helping citizens. Back to the fight, Izuku stepped back as Stain tried to swing his own blades at Izuku, both of which were thrown at him and deflected with the Baria spell.

"You're skilled, I'll give you that. But you guys haven't even noticed this warped society covered with hypocrisy and vanity," Stain said before dodging a kick aimed for his head coming from Tenya, but instead of targetting Izuku, he slashed as one of the openings in Tenya's armor. The slash drew blood from the hero-in-training, then he weirdly licked it which paralyzed Tenya to the ground, unable to move anything but his facial muscles.

"So that's your quirk, paralysis inducement upon consuming someone's blood," Izuku said before dispelling his mana blade and replacing his weapon with a few spell circles that appeared in front of him.

And a second later, bolts of mana, fire, and lightning shot towards Stain, only the fire hitting him before he charged towards Izuku and slashed him before he could pull up a barrier. So Izuku was also paralyzed as he dropped back onto the ground with Stain stepping on top of him and a katana next to his throat.

"Any last words?" Stain asked as he moved his blade closer to Izuku's throat, putting closer to death.

"Why are you killing heroes?" He asked in return as Izuku saw the katana stop moving towards him.

"Because this world is plagued by fake heroes who are out to fulfill their own desires and that is the furthest from what a hero should be." He said before starting to draw blood from Izuku. "They just use their strength to entertain the masses and gain fame. They're weak and don't even try to use the power they have to protect what really matters."

"Then they're not heroes," Izuku said as his body burst into flames and the pure pressure blew Stain back, but Izuku got back up in his Daemon form with his bloodlust clearly shown on his face yet he was still trying to hold onto his humanity. "I may not be invincible, but being a hero is about being brave enough to stand up and do what's needed. So I'll defeat you if that means that everyone can live another day in peace."

In the blink of an eye, Izuku sped towards Stain and punched him in the gut, making the killer fly into the wall and created wind pressure. But it was clear that Izuku's punch did more than blow Stain back as his abdomen was burned. Then Izuku flash stepped behind Stain and kicked him in the back as he used the spell Eien no kusari to wrap Stain in chains of pure mana, but Izuku dispelled his Daemon form and fell to his knees.

"Stain, no man or woman is created equal."

You heard me. I'm ending it here. Now please don't hate me because I'm just not feeling the mood to write Bnha or fanfics in general. In fact, I'll finish all my other Bnha fanfics as well just to get a weight off my chest. So, I'm going to have two fanfics of anything out during the week along with my two original stories.
