Tenya Iida was having his worst time in his life. Tensei ended paraplegic due to a serial hero murderer, and instead of his friends understanding it, Izuku and his partner insisted on not doing that. How could they say that!? They didn’t have the brother who got attacked! Even Deputymon told him it was a terrible idea! So, he decided to left him with Tensei. The sad looks his partner gave him make him feel terrible, but... he needed to do this. No one understood.
When he arrived at Hosu under Manual’s guidance, soon the place was attacked by Nomus, the moment he could move without being noticed, and he discovered Him. His sole view made Tenya look red.
Unbeknown to him, a small, black figure, were following him since he arrived at the city, and spying on him- “Damn it Izu, this was one of those times I didn't want you to be right…” - The figure, clearly not human, snorted in annoyance. Then, it started to jump across the buildings with great mobility- “I hope I arrive in time. their scents are too close for my taste. I hope I receive a great salmon in response, idiot…”

Tenya was immobilized on the floor, with a hateful expression- “You clearly are like the rest of the fake heroes. You ignored the person injured and charged through me…” - Stain said while maintaining his unguarded posture. Then, a quadrupedal figure appeared before him- “Is time to be food for my partner. This… is Sangloupmon” - He said while giving way. It was a wolf-like monster, with blades and sharp claws. He was ready to kill Manual and Iida at any moment- “At least, your sacrifice will be used to feed him and let him grow stronger. Rejoice that your death paves the way for a world without false heroes” -when he ended his monologue, the Digimon started approaching them slowly.
‘So… it ends here… I’m sorry, Tensei, Deputymon…’ -Iida closed his eyes, awaiting his death. But then, he heard a familiar voice.
“Lightning Paw!” -A figure attacked Sangloupmon in the face with sharp claws, making him grunt in pain and positioning between the incapacitated heroes and the Digimon- “Stupid fridge! You cannot think straight for 5 minutes, are you!?”
“Kuro!? Why are you…!?” - Iida was interrupted by a kick on his face from Kuro.
“Shut it, idiot! I’m saving your brainless ass and this hero too!” - She growled at his friend- ‘Dammit, it had to be a Dark Digimon… If I were a Gatomon…”
“A BlackGatomon… so you had a Digimon partner too. But it doesn’t matter. She will die along with you” -Stain pointed his blade at the feline- “Is curious how do you have a Dark type digimon as your colleague, despite being usually evil.”
“Get outta here! This is my revenge! You don’t have anything to do here!” -Iida screams were ignored by the Digimon
‘Izu, come here soon! I don’t know If I can fight both for too much time!’ - Kuro gritted her teeth, and started the battle.

“We have to hurry!” - Izuku was running across the streets of Hosu, being followed by two figures.
“It’s easy for you two! You have long legs!” A small, white and blue form with long ears yelled
“Stop complaining. I can smell them” -A yellow figure with fur responded. Everyone was looking at the trio while they were running, mainly because seeing Digimon in a public area was still strange. Outside the strange and dangerous Digital World which entrances were strictly monitored, they were usually in remote and isolated areas. Some of them could be seen partners of some Pro heroes or heroics students... or villain’s.
“Why was Kuro the one who digivolved instead of one of us?” The smallest asked.
“Because she was the smallest of us in Champion form, and she needed to keep Iida’s pace while she was watching over him. Now stop pouting” -The yellow digimon hushed her partner.
“I don’t know why I joined your group…” The short Digimon sighed- “Besides, my evolution is also Human-sized. Is not a big deal!
“We need to save energy… Wait! They are in the next alley! I smell blood!” -The three of them ran even faster.
When they arrived, Kuro had numerous injuries, and she was panting of exhaustion, while Stain and his digimon also looked wounded- “More reinforcements? And two other Digimon…” - Chizome grunted.
“Renamon, pick Iida! Kuro, you okay? If you can, pick Manual, and run back to Mirko! Lunamon and I will protect you from Stain!” -Izuku stood in between, with green sparks around his body, while the small Digimon was at his left. The other two ran to assist the others.
“So you prioritize the safety of others before the capture or kill… You look like a true hero, kid, unlike those two” - Stain narrowed his eyes- “Your Digimon also evaded direct fight and protected both fakes. I’m impressed.”
“Midoriya, you don’t have to do this! This is my…!” Iida yell was cut.
“Shut up! You are an idiot! What do you think Tensei would feel if he know his brother was killed by the same person who left him injured!?” - Izuku screamed at his friend.
“I did what I had to do. This society is plagued by impostors and fame-seekers, who don’t let the true heroes shine” - Stain spoke calmly.
“You have no right to be the jury and executioner of the heroes, you damn psycho!” - Lunamon screamed at him, while Izuku’s pocket started shining.
In a flash that covered the alley, Lunamon changed. Her small body grew into another, one more human-shaped, with longer and powerful legs, and her chest was covered in a strange blue liquid, from which emerged some tentacles from her back. A metal mask hid her face.
“We can’t move… he immobilized us with his Quirk, but he didn’t use anything besides blades and knifes…” - Manual said in a weak voice.
“Maybe has a Quirk that incapacitates with a touch of a blade…” -Izuku mumbled low- “Lekismon, avoid direct attacks! We have to defend the others until they can escape!”
“Yeah, yeah. No approaching him. Easier said than done” -She groaned. That evolution was focused in close combat, and her few distance attacks weren’t enough to prevent any of those two to get at range.
“Mirko got my message, so she will probably be here soon… I hope” - Izuku gulped just before Stain and Sangloupmon jumped to attack them.
