Four Devils

Chapter 14 -

Chapter 14 – 6 months later

The girls were loving the idea of a six-month break from killing people that disrespected their master, even though they are trained like robots, they still enjoy the little things and time off their jobs. It was mainly because Shigaraki got the news that the heroes are onto them and needed to make sure that his devils were ready and up to the task to kill them. He Dabi, Toga, and Hawks sat in his room as the master/head of the league of villains typed onto the computer the heroes who he wants his four favorite devils to kill. "now who to match up with who?" Shigaraki questioned himself as he scratched his dry flaky skin...

"well, the best thing to do is pair up a devil with a hero based on their stamina, strength, and knowledge," Hawks said trying to make things easier for his heroes to defeat. Either way, he knew that they were as good as dead whether which one they got teamed up with, especially how these girls never have a break from their training and are practically immortal from the serums Shigaraki makes them take.

"why does it matter? Just make the girls fight them all and kill them...I could do it by myself!" Toga excitedly said as her eyes gazed onto Izuku's photo. "not that I'd want to kill him, but I'd love to torture him for pleasure"

"enough toga," Dabi said as his eyes stared at Shoto's picture scoffing at the young number one hero. Hawks kept his eyes on Dabi's but then looked at the master of the devils figuring out what to do.

"stamina, strength, knowledge...hmm"

"hey isn't that the hero who killed Denki?" Toga then said which caused the fear in Hawks' eyes once she said that. Shigaraki's bright red eyes gleamed as he stared at Ground Zero's picture. The hero he wanted instead of Denki, the hero he knew would kill anyone in his desire if he wasn't so filled up on hero crap but instead got stuck with Kaminari. No matter how good he was at the job, Shigaraki wanted Katsuki to be a part of his league.

"no that was a different hero," Hawks said knowing that if Katsuki was ever paired up with Jiro, he was as good as dead...

"that's perfect...I guess I can make my head devil a happy woman today"

The girls are sitting in their tea room watching the news about the mysterious murder cases that had finally come to an end. Happy that their hunt for heroes was finally over not knowing that the heroes had a huge plan to work discretely. But that's when Ishigaki comes in.

The master walked into the devil's tea room holding four clipboards and got his devil's attention. "come lovely devils, I have a mission for all of you" he said finally.

The girls ran up to their master, all sitting at the circle table with him pacing around the backs of the chairs where his girls sat.

[in Russian] "Mina...you will be working to find and kill Eiiro Kirishima, he is also called Red Riot, he is a secret soft soul, your quirk could do serious wonders to keep him all soft and giddy" the master said making the pink devil giggle.

[in Russian] – "ooh he's so pretty, I can't wait to use my quirk on him!" she squealed making Kyoka chuckle.

Shigaraki then walked behind Momo, gently placing the clipboard in front of her. His hands held onto her shoulders as both index fingers were raised unless he'd kill her.

[in French] – "my sweet Momo...this here is one of the number one heroes, or in reality, he is the third-ranked hero but...he is a romantic just like you. if you remember Dabi, they are sort of...similar and well, you can make anything you want to kill him, his fire and ice can't save him at the same time" he chuckled.

Momo pulled a fake smile realizing that Shoto was the hero she saw on the platform opposite her. He was the hero she couldn't get out of her head for months and now she had to kill him. She didn't want to because stupidly the hopeless romantic fell in love with him even though she had never spoken to him.

[in French] – "I will do my best master" she sadly said as she held a fake smile which made her master happy to hear.

Shigaraki then walked behind the small brunette. His fingers intertwined into her shot brown locks after he placed Izuku's clipboard in front of her and a slight shudder hit her heart.

[in german] – my beautiful Ochaco...Izuku is perfect for you because even though he focuses on his strength and speed of his power...he could easily have that manipulated with your quirk I upgraded for you, he's hopeless when he floats so kill him with all your might, he is the second-ranked number one hero and from what I researched, he can't wait to get revenge...you know what I mean about that" he whispered the last sentence in the brunette's ear which made her heart pound fast, especially at Shigaraki's dry chuckles.

[in German] – "he can try but I won't fail you master" she responded.

And finally, the white-haired master walked toward his favorite villain, he made sure that Kyoka would enjoy what he will tell her and he knew she would never give up the moment the words he plans on saying left his mouth.

"my strongest devil, I can tell your nervous, excited, and angry all at the same time" he teased. The moment he put the final clipboard down, the purple-haired devil studied the photo of Ground Zero in an action pose.

She takes a deep breath and looks up at her master confused and waiting for him to explain who he was. "now, he was specifically saved for you, my sweet devil"

"I don't understand," she said looking deep into Shigaraki's satanic red eyes.

He crouched down to her level brushing both thumbs against her porcelain skin and circling them around her cheeks.

[in Japanese] – "my sweet Jiro...he's the one who killed Denki"

...

Kyoka instantly felt rage filling up in her body. The girls didn't know what their master said but they knew it riled her up and they knew it was about the hero she was assigned to kill. And they knew she was ready to hunt for him now. Momo could instantly tell it was linked with Denki too by how tears started to fill Kyoka's eyes. 'had he finally found his killer?' she thought and the black-haired hero didn't need to find out...she knew.

In a hospital in a small town, the number one hero lives with his wife. He wakes up to the sound of his baby girl crying in the maternity room where Myra was peacefully sleeping. Katsuki walks up to the newly born child that was his and gently scooped her in his arms. "hey scarlet come on, your mama's trying to sleep" he tiredly spoke. He looked deep into her scarlet red eyes like his and chuckled at how much she was a spitting image of her father except she had her mother's bright red hair. "god you beautiful" he chuckled rocking his daughter to sleep. "I promise I won't let anyone hurt you" he whispered gently as he held Scarlet in his arms.

Katsuki walked over to his exhausted wife and sat beside her, holding her hand gently after outing Scarlet back in the hospital cot and sighed before letting out a smile. "I won't let anyone hurt you either...I promise"
