The sun had barely risen, casting a golden hue over the city as Amelia stood on the rooftop of a high-rise building, surveying the streets below. The air was crisp and cool, a stark contrast to the anticipation bubbling within her. Today was the U.A. Sports Festival, an event she had been looking forward to for months. But instead of participating, she was on patrol with Mirko. After all, she didn't need the festival anymore; she had her internship.
Mirko landed gracefully beside her, her sharp eyes scanning the horizon. "All set for the day, Sunlit?" she asked, using Amelia's hero name with a confident smile.
Amelia nodded, adjusting her mask and cape. "Ready as ever, Mirko. Let's make this a good patrol."
Their morning had started early, with a series of routine checks and minor incidents. Amelia's new suit, courtesy of Mei Hatsume, had proven its worth time and again, its advanced features and sleek design giving her an edge in every situation.
As they moved through the city, Amelia couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment about missing the Sports Festival. She wanted to see how her classmates were doing and how Izuku was faring.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden blare of an alarm echoing through the streets.
Mirko's ears perked up, and she immediately honed in on the source. "Sounds like a robbery in progress. Let's move!"
They sprinted towards the sound, their movements a blur to anyone watching. As they approached the scene, Amelia's heart raced with adrenaline. This was her chance to prove herself once again, to show the world what the Sunlit Heroine could do.
The robbery was taking place at a large jewelry store. The front windows were shattered, and a group of masked criminals was hurriedly stuffing bags with expensive items. The sight of the two heroes approaching caused a ripple of panic among them.
"Drop the loot and surrender!" Mirko shouted, her voice carrying a tone of authority that left no room for argument.
One of the criminals, clearly the leader, sneered and brandished a high-tech weapon. "Stay back, heroes! This is none of your business."
Amelia's eyes narrowed. "It's very much our business. You have one chance to stand down peacefully."
Instead of complying, the leader fired his weapon. A beam of energy shot towards them, but Amelia was ready. She activated her suit's deflection shield, a brilliant barrier of light that absorbed the impact and protected both her and Mirko.
With a nod from Mirko, they sprang into action. Amelia darted forward, her movements fluid and precise. She aimed for the closest criminal, disarming him with a swift kick and securing his wrists with specialized cuffs. Her suit's enhanced strength and agility made quick work of the first two culprits.
Mirko, meanwhile, engaged the leader. Her powerful kicks and rapid movements kept him off balance, his weapon proving ineffective against her relentless assault. Amelia moved to assist, but Mirko shot her a glance.
"I've got this. Handle the rest!"
Amelia nodded and turned her attention to the remaining criminals. They were trying to flee, but she intercepted them with ease. Her speed and reflexes allowed her to close the distance in seconds, her punches and kicks disabling them before they could react.
As the last of the criminals fell, subdued and disarmed, the leader made a desperate attempt to escape. Mirko was ready, her powerful legs launching her into the air. She delivered a final, decisive kick that sent him sprawling, his weapon clattering uselessly to the ground.
The police arrived moments later, taking the criminals into custody. Amelia and Mirko stood back, catching their breath. The crowd that had gathered watched in awe, whispers of "Sunlit Heroine" spreading among them.
A young girl approached Amelia, her eyes wide with admiration. "Are you the Sunlit?"
Amelia smiled, her heart swelling with pride. "Yes, I am. Always here to help."
The girl beamed, and Amelia felt a renewed sense of purpose. Missing the Sports Festival suddenly didn't seem so important. Her place was here, protecting the city and its people.
Mirko clapped a hand on her shoulder. "Great work today, Sunlit. You're really living up to your name."
Amelia nodded, looking out over the city. "Thanks, Mirko."
As the morning continued and the streets began to buzz with the usual activity, Amelia felt a deep satisfaction. She was making a difference, one patrol at a time. And while her classmates competed in the Sports Festival, she knew that her challenges and victories were just as important.
The city was alive with the bustle of people going about their daily routines. Amelia's mind, however, was elsewhere. She couldn't shake the nagging feeling that something was wrong, and the memories of Stain's attack on Tenya's brother, Tensei, from the anime replayed in her mind.
She had to stop Stain before he hurt Tensei. But how could she convince Mirko to go to Hosu City without raising suspicion? She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts.
"Mirko," Amelia said, her voice steady but urgent, "I've been thinking. Hosu City has been experiencing a lot of villain activity lately. Maybe we should head over there and see if we can help out."
Mirko raised an eyebrow, considering Amelia's suggestion. "Hosu City, huh? It has been pretty active recently. Alright, let's head over there. Better to be proactive than reactive."
They quickly made their way to the nearest transport hub, commandeering a high-speed vehicle to take them to Hosu City. Amelia's heart pounded as they traveled, her thoughts racing. She remembered the details from the anime clearly: Stain would attack Tensei in an alleyway. She had to be there in time to stop it.
Upon arriving in Hosu City, they started their patrol, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity. The narrow streets and dimly lit alleyways made it difficult to see everything, but Amelia's senses were on high alert.
As they walked, Amelia's communicator buzzed with an alert. Reports of a disturbance in a nearby alleyway. She exchanged a glance with Mirko, who nodded.
"Let's check it out," Mirko said, her tone serious.
They made their way to the alleyway, the sound of their footsteps echoing off the walls. As they approached, Amelia's heart raced faster. She knew they were getting close.
Suddenly, they heard a scuffle and a voice shouting for help. They rounded the corner and saw Stain, the Hero Killer, standing over Tensei Iida, Tenya's brother. Stain's blade glinted in the dim light, poised to strike.
"Stain!" Amelia shouted, her voice echoing off the walls.
Stain turned, his eyes narrowing as he saw them. "Another hero come to face their demise? How noble."
Amelia didn't hesitate. She charged forward, her movements swift and calculated. She knew she had to be careful; Stain was a formidable opponent, known for his speed and agility. Mirko followed closely, her powerful legs propelling her into the fray.
As they engaged Stain, Amelia could feel the weight of the situation bearing down on her. She had to protect Tensei and ensure that Tenya didn't lose his brother. Her suit's enhancements provided an edge, allowing her to deflect Stain's attacks with her gauntlets while delivering precise strikes of her own.
Mirko's kicks were powerful and relentless, forcing Stain to constantly dodge and parry. Despite their combined efforts, Stain proved to be a formidable adversary, his movements fluid and unpredictable.
"You're strong," Stain admitted, his voice laced with grudging respect. "But strength alone won't save you."
Amelia gritted her teeth, pushing herself harder. She couldn't afford to lose. Not here, not now. As Stain lunged at her with his blade, she activated her suit's deflection shield, the barrier of light absorbing the impact. She retaliated with a swift punch to his midsection, forcing him back.
Stain growled and shifted his attention to Mirko. In a swift and brutal move, he slashed at her with his blade. Mirko staggered, clutching her side as blood seeped through her fingers. Her blood type was O, and she knew the paralysis would set in quickly.
"Mirko!" Amelia shouted, panic rising in her chest.
Mirko fell to the ground, her body locking up as Stain licked the blood from his blade. "You're on your own, Sunlit," she managed to say before the paralysis took full effect.
Amelia's heart pounded in her chest. She was alone now, facing Stain without Mirko's support. Stain's admiration for All Might ran so deep that he was the only one he was willing to let kill him. However, he had also shown respect to others who were strong and bravely willing to fight to save someone's life. He saw this in Amelia when she continued to fight despite the odds.
"You're brave," Stain said, his voice low and menacing. "But bravery won't save you."
Amelia's suit hummed with energy as she prepared to face Stain alone. Her thoughts raced, remembering everything she knew about his fighting style and his Quirk, Bloodcurdle, which allowed him to paralyze his targets upon tasting their blood. The amount of time a victim remained paralyzed depended on their blood type; in ascending order from shortest to longest duration, they were: O, A, AB, and B. The maximum amount of time anyone could be paralyzed was eight minutes.
With Mirko out of commission, Amelia had to be even more careful. Stain lunged at her with his blade, but this time she was ready. Her suit's deflection shield activated just in time, causing his blade to bounce off harmlessly. She followed up with a quick counterattack, aiming a punch at his midsection. Stain dodged, his movements fluid and precise, but Amelia's enhanced agility allowed her to keep up with him.
"You can't win," Stain taunted, his voice dripping with disdain. "You're outmatched."
"Maybe," Amelia replied, her voice steady, "but I'm not giving up."
She launched a series of rapid strikes, each one aimed to disarm and incapacitate rather than kill. Stain parried and dodged with ease, his eyes gleaming with a twisted sense of enjoyment. He swung his blade again, aiming for a weak point in her armor, but it couldn't cut through her skin at all.
Amelia seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful kick to his chest that sent him sprawling backward. She advanced, pressing her advantage, but Stain recovered quickly, flipping back onto his feet and charging at her once more.
The fight was intense, each move and countermove executed with precision and determination. Amelia's suit provided her with an edge, but Stain's experience and ferocity made him a formidable opponent. She knew she couldn't let him taste her blood; the paralysis effect of his Quirk would be disastrous.
As they clashed, Stain's admiration for her grew. He saw the same resolve and heroism in Amelia that he had seen in All Might and a few other true heroes. Despite the danger, she stood her ground, determined to protect Tensei and stop Stain.
"Why do you fight so hard?" Stain asked, his voice a mix of curiosity and respect. "What drives you?"
Amelia's eyes blazed with determination. "Because it's my duty. Because people like Tensei and Mirko are counting on me. Because I believe in justice."
Stain's expression softened for a moment, a flicker of something almost like approval in his eyes. But then his resolve hardened again, and he lunged at her with renewed intensity. Amelia deflected his attacks, countering with swift and precise strikes of her own.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Amelia saw an opening. With a burst of speed, she closed the distance between them and delivered a powerful punch to Stain's jaw. He staggered, dazed, and she followed up with a series of rapid strikes that left him reeling.
Stain stumbled back, struggling to regain his footing. Amelia didn't give him a chance to recover. She moved in swiftly, disarming him and delivering a final, decisive blow that sent him crashing to the ground.
Breathing heavily, Amelia stood over Stain, her heart pounding in her chest. She had done it. She had defeated the Hero Killer.
As the police arrived to take Stain into custody, Amelia rushed to Mirko's side. The paralysis was starting to wear off, and Mirko managed a weak smile.
"You did it," Mirko said, her voice filled with pride. "You took him down."
Amelia nodded, relief flooding through her. "We did it together."
The medical team arrived, tending to Mirko's wounds and ensuring that Tensei was stabilized and transported to the hospital. Amelia watched as they worked, a deep sense of satisfaction settling over her.
And as she looked out over the bustling streets of Hosu City, she felt a renewed sense of purpose. The fight against evil was far from over, but she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Because she was the Sunlit Heroine, and she would never stop fighting for justice.
The hospital room was quiet, the soft hum of medical equipment the only sound. Amelia walked in, her footsteps light as she approached Mirko's bed. Mirko, ever the spirited hero, was sitting up, looking irritable.
"How are you feeling?" Amelia asked, trying to keep her tone light.
Mirko huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "Like a caged animal. They won't let me leave until they finish running tests. It's driving me nuts."
Amelia smiled sympathetically. "They're just making sure you're okay. You took quite a hit out there."
Mirko's expression softened slightly, and she sighed. "I know, but I hate being stuck here. I should be out there, patrolling the streets."
"You'll be back out there soon enough," Amelia reassured her. "The city needs you."
Mirko grumbled but didn't argue. Instead, she nodded towards the door. "How's Tensei?"
"I was just about to go check on him," Amelia said. "I'll let you know how he's doing."
She left Mirko's room and made her way to Tensei's, her heart heavy with concern. She found him sitting up in bed, his expression weary but relieved. His cuts and bruises were bandaged, but he looked like he was on the mend.
"Tensei," Amelia greeted him with a smile. "How are you feeling?"
Tensei managed a weak smile in return. "I've had better days, but I'll be okay. Just a few cuts and bruises. The doctors say I'll be able to get back on the field soon."
Amelia's relief was palpable. "That's great news. You really had us worried."
Tensei nodded, his expression serious. "I owe you my life, Amelia. If you and Mirko hadn't shown up when you did..."
"Don't think about that," Amelia interrupted gently. "The important thing is that you're safe. That's all that matters."
They chatted for a while longer, Amelia doing her best to keep the conversation light and positive. Tensei's spirits seemed to lift, and by the time she left his room, she felt a renewed sense of hope.
Returning to Mirko's room, Amelia found the hero tapping impatiently on her bedrail. "So? How's Tensei?"
"He's going to be fine," Amelia said with a smile. "Just a few cuts and bruises. He'll be back on the field in no time."
Mirko let out a relieved breath. "Good. That's good to hear."
Amelia took a seat beside Mirko's bed, her expression turning serious. "There's something else. I just got word that Stain has been transferred to Tartarus."
Mirko's eyes widened slightly, and she nodded slowly. "Tartarus, huh? Well, at least we won't have to worry about him for a while."
"Yeah," Amelia agreed, her mind racing with the implications. "He's out of commission for now. But there are still plenty of other threats out there."
Mirko gave her a reassuring smile. "And we'll face them, just like we did with Stain. We'll kick their butts."
Amelia nodded. The fight for justice was never-ending, but with allies like Mirko and Tensei, she knew they could overcome any obstacle.
