Midoriya heard footsteps outside Kaminari's apartment. 'Someone is eavesdropping on my conversation. I hate eavesdroppers.' When he finished his chat with Kaminari, he noticed a figure heading out of the building. It was the same building where Kaminari lived, and it seemed that he was in a hurry. Midoriya strolled behind him and then forced him into the alleyway. The purple-haired boy threw the first punch to see Midoriya catch his fist, "Wrong choice!" Midoriya twisted his arm and threw him to the ground. The green-haired boy wasn't fast enough to dodge Shinsou's kick. He was on the ground and saw Shinsou holding his gun.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Midoriya growled, "No one touches my gun!" He pulled out a dagger from his boot and threw it at Shinsou's hand. The purple-haired boy dropped the gun and gripped his hand. He glanced up to see a fist punching him in the face. It knocked him off his feet. Shinsou held onto his bleeding hand when he looked at the silhouette figure. Midoriya pointed the gun at Shinsou, "I'm the Shadow Killer." Midoriya could see the recognization of the purple-haired boy's expression. He knew who he was. "You are in no position to ask questions. Why were you listening in to my conversation?" Midoriya glared at the boy in front of him, 'Did this guy ask for a death wish? Then again, I shouldn't keep meeting Kaminari in his apartment complex.'
Shinsou noticed that the boy was short and petit from where he was standing. He remembered how Toshinori warned him about the dangerous ones from the Anarchy. He wasn't to show fear to the guy, "I was walking past when I heard you guys mention a Todoroki. Of course, I was curious." Midoriya growled, "I hate eavesdroppers. I could kill you right now." Shinsou shook his head, "I won't tell anyone if you could do me one thing." Midoriya lowered his gun and gave the purple-haired boy a chance to speak.
"I want to join the Anarchy."
'Did he know that I was looking for extra members? I didn't mention any of this to Kaminari. Kirishima wouldn't tell exactly anyone about their organization. How did this guy know?' Midoriya saw the phone on the ground and the glowing light on his phone. Shinsou cursed to himself when the Shadow Killer smashed his phone against the cold concrete floor. "Why were you texting Toshinori? Did you know him or something?" Shinsou could tell that the name meant something to the criminal when he said it that way. "Toshinori is a friend of my parents," Shinsou explained.
Midoriya couldn't list him as a threat since Kacchan was also involved with the police department. He had to play his cards right and decide whether he could trust him or not. He didn't know who this purple-haired boy was or why he was eavesdropping on his conversation. He could kill this boy right now or think about his offer about joining the Anarchy.
"Why do you want to join my organization?" Shinsou was wrapping his bloody hand in cloth once he pulled the blade out. "I heard that the Anarchy was short on members. Isn't the league working against you to overthrow your organization? I'm offering my skills to help you defeat the league. I want to fight by your side and the rest of the group." Midoriya bit the bottom of his lip as he was unsure if this guy was telling the truth or not. He couldn't trust everyone he meets. Shinsou was right that the Anarchy needed more members. He pulled his phone out and dialed Kirishima's number. He didn't give Kirishima any time to speak, "Red Riot, prepare yourself. We're going to have company tonight."
Shinsou gulped when he saw the Shadow Killer approach him, "You're going to have to wear this. I don't exactly trust you, so I can't tell you the location of the hideout." Shinsou allowed Midoriya to tie the bandana around his eyes, "I'm going to grab your hand, so try to keep up." When they started running, Shinsou tightens his grip on Midoriya's hand.
Midoriya stopped when they arrived at the hideout, "We're here." He shoved Shinsou inside and closed the door behind them. "You can take the blindfold off," Midoriya instructed. Kirishima was wearing an identical mask-like Midoriya's except his had sharp teeth. Shinsou took the blindfold off and saw another member from the Anarchy with blue hair and a sick mask. He knew that there were four members of the Anarchy, but there weren't any pictures of the Anarchy.
"This is Red Riot," Midoriya introduced the purple-haired boy to Kirishima. "Why are you named Red Riot if your hair is blue?" Kirishima chuckled, "Because my hair is red-" Midoriya kicked Kirishima in the leg, "Riot, please don't expose yourself." Shinsou could tell that the Shadow Killer was suspicious. "I thought there were four of you guys?" Midoriya rolled his eyes, "The Hollow Death is out completing a mission by himself. Night-Flame is out of commission until he gets back."
Shinsou nodded his head, "I'm Shinsou." He didn't see a point on revealing his name since he didn't know any of their names. He knew that one of them had red hair outside of the Anarchy, so he kept that in mind. He didn't have his phone with him since Midoriya smashed it. Kirishima didn't think anything was odd with the potential member. "We should let him join, Shadow." Kirishima looked over to see Midoriya thinking about the offer. "Riot, I don't exactly trust him. We can't have a member betraying us."
Kirishima grabbed Midoriya's wrist and pulled him to the side. "Midoriya, we don't have time to think over this. Remember that you suggested we find new members to join the Anarchy. If he doublecrosses us, we'll deal with it. We'll make sure Shinsou stays in line and respects the code. Don't let your paranoid get the best of you." Midoriya knew that Kirishima was right about this. The green-haired boy remembered about his birth father and the league and knew that he didn't have a choice. All for One could be alive and planning to strike soon. They needed to ready for anything that could happen.
Midoriya had to take the risk and knew what he had to do. Midoriya walked over to Shinsou and pinned him against the wall. He pulled his dagger out and held it close to Shinsou's neck, "You're lucky that we don't kill you right now. Red Riot and I decided to let you join our organization. However-" Shinsou felt the blade dig into his neck, "If you betray us, we'll kill everyone you know and love. I'm not someone you should take very lightly. Step out of line, and I won't hesitate to kill you."
The purple-haired boy thought about Kaminari, his friends, and his family. He couldn't back out of this now, and it was too late to run. He was in their territory, "I won't!" He needed to complete his mission and defeat the Anarchy at their own game. He could do this and achieve his goal. They will never suspect a thing.
Midoriya let go of Shinsou and smiled, "Welcome to the team." Shinsou didn't have enough time to react when Midoriya punched him in the face. "Dude, seriously!" Kirishima was eating a bag of potato chips when he saw Midoriya punch the new member. Midoriya rolled his eyes, "I'm going to leave this guy where I found him. I'll see you later." Midoriya picked up Shinsou's unconscious body and headed towards the door. "Hey, wait, are you eating my bag of potato chips?" Kirishima hid the bag behind his back, "Nope, you should get moving. That guy may wake up soon."
Midoriya knew those were his potato chips, 'I'll get you back later, Kirishima.' The green-haired boy stepped out of the hideout and dropped Shinsou in an empty alleyway. "God, you weigh too much." Midoriya heard his phone ring and saw the familiar caller ID. "Ochaco," he whispered to himself. He didn't expect Uraraka to call him anytime soon. He barely spoke to his old best friend. He walked away from Shinsou and answered the call, "Hey, Uraraka."
*****
Uraraka glanced at Midoriya's number and wondered if she dared to talk to him. She should've never let their friendship drift apart after what happened. She needed to be honest with herself. She pressed the call icon and waited for Deku to answer.
"Hey, Uraraka." Uraraka sighed in relief that Deku answered her call. "Hey, Deku. Are you busy?" She wanted to hang out with her friend again and catch up on old times. She remembered how her, Iida, and Deku would always go to the cat cafe to talk. "No, right now, I'm free. Why?" Uraraka smiled to herself, "I wanted to ask if you want to meet up at the cat cafe with Iida." She didn't love Midoriya as lovers would. She loved Midoriya as a friend. He was always there to help her and cheer her up. She was grateful that she met Midoriya back in high school.
"What do you say?" Uraraka hoped Midoriya accepted her offer to hang out, and then there was a moment of silence. She was about to apologize until Deku answered immediately. "Yeah, sure! Sorry, I got a bit distracted."
"I guess I'll see you there!" Uraraka hung up the phone and held it close to her chest. She glanced over to the side of her office and looked at the file. She remembered Iida telling her to take a break from overworking herself. Maybe this time, she could take a break and hang out with her old friends.
She didn't tell anyone about the Shadow Killer's appearance. She recalled seeing the boy's fluffy hair and how it reminded her of Deku's. She felt the sickening feeling course through her. 'No, Deku couldn't be a part of the Anarchy. He wouldn't hurt a fly. Nonetheless, kill someone.' Uraraka refused to believe that her friend could be a part of one of the most dangerous groups in Japan.
Uraraka grabbed the file on her desk and opened it. She read the first line, 'The Anarchy made their first appearance four years ago.' That was when they graduated, and Midoriya started behaving differently. 'I want to believe that Deku isn't a part of the Anarchy. His dad was the chief of police, which explains how the Shadow Killer always had a step ahead of them. Toshinori would never suspect his son to be a part of the Anarchy. He had an alibi, one where no one would suspect him. The Anarchy was beating us, and we didn't know. Deku was always hiding something because he's a part of the Anarchy.' Uraraka knew what she was talking about. She couldn't deny it, but she needed evidence. Still, one thought remained on her mind.
'Midoriya is the Shadow Killer.'
*****
Midoriya didn't know that Uraraka found out the truth. He forgot that Uraraka was one of the best detectives in Japan. He believed that she would never catch up. Midoriya was losing his grip and didn't realize that Uraraka would soon find out. He had a lot on his mind and could barely focus on anything. Still, he wasn't going to lose against his father. All for One was out there planning his next move. Right now, he was going to meet up with his old friends. First, he needed to remove the purple-dye from his hair. He wondered why Uraraka wanted to meet up now.
'Did she know?'
*****
Midoriya didn't realize that someone was watching him. All for One was planning his attack against the Anarchy. He was going to crush the organization under his feet, and no one would be able to stop him. Midoriya was no longer in control. The Anarchy will crash and burn, and everyone will remember who defeated the Anarchy. All for One was playing them into a trap. They were a part of his game that they couldn't escape. His son was going to lose, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
