The dark full moon barely illuminates this dark alleyway. Denki Kaminari backs himself to a wall on the floor. The hero hunter, Garou, had bested him easily.

Garou: You tried your best kid. But heroes don't always win.

Stain: Back off!!

Garou: And you are?

Stain: You're obviously a fake hero, killing other heroes aren't you?

Garou: Hero? (Laughs) You must be delusional. Ever heard of me?

Stain: Soon, you will find out why they call me the hero killer!

Noticing his question had been ignored, Garou quickly grew tired of the "conversation" taking place with this madman.

Garou: (Sigh) Get out of here Chargebolt.

As Denki runs away, Garou takes a fighting pose.

Garou: This should be interesting.

Immediately, Stain blitzes around the battlefield, faster than Garou can see with his eyes frantically darting around to track him. He then instinctively blocks a blow from him, but is kicked in the leg. Unluckily, Stain misses a follow-through stab. Garou then attempts a blow of his own but is blocked.

Garou: Hero killer huh? Should I be scared for my life?

Stain: Mocking me will be the last mistake you make.

Garou separates the clash but is slashed by Stain multiple times. His black long sleeve starts to take battle damage. He delivers a palm strike to push Stain back and dodges a stab to the head by jerking it to the side.

Garou: So that's it huh?

Stain rushes at him to deliver a wild swing but has his sword slapped away.

Garou: Sloppy, Wild, Fast, Uncalculated.

As he says these words, he delivers a blow to his (lack of) Nose, causing him to hurl over, before kneeing him and the stomach and kicking his leg to bend it. He grabs him and hurls him towards a lampost. He struggles to his feet and then sighs.

Stain: You heroes never learn.

Garou: I've learnt enough. Water stream rock smashing fist!

He rushes at Stain and begins to absolutely wail on him. Smashing on his organs, embarrassing him really. Stain is only able to get a cut on his shoulder with a knife.

Garou: Honestly, I'm embarrassed. You talked the talk about fake heroes huh? Yet your insane, twisted mind can't even wrap itself around the difference between a hero...

He says all of this while still destroying him, drowning out Stain's grunts and struggles. When he's finally mostly done, he uses a cutting fist to stab his chest and then push him forward.

Garou: And a monster.

Stain, bloodied and brutalized, picks up his small knife and licks it.

And suddenly, all of Garou's movement had halted.

Garou: Huh? Why can't I move?

Stain: Monster? (Cough) HA! Fake heroes, those who don't stand for others, but for their own selfish gain. Those are the ones that make my bloodcurdle! But there's only one thing I hate more than fake heroes.

Garou's eyes tremble as Stain's sword gleams in the moonlight.

Stain: Villains. Now what was that about being a monster?

He brutally slashes and stabs at Garou's now exposed and torn-up ches. Sending blood flying everywhere. He stabs and stabs, blurring out Garou's shouts of pain, even pushing him down to stab more.

Garou: (In head) Huh. I'm fading again.

Stain maniacally laughs as he continues, before giving 3 final stabs to his chest and then kicking the fallen foe into a convenient pile of nearby rocks.

Stain: Just as I expected.

He walks away and then looks back one more time with a smile to admire his work, which quickly fades away.

Stain: What? He's...Evolving??!?!?

The rocks slowly but surely get sent away at top speed before being blown apart completely, revealing a red-haired Garou, armed with just his shorts. His chest somehow almost fully invalidates his work, closing up to a degree.

Garou: Witness the most powerful monster, in existence!

Stain: I'll do worse than witness you!

Garou punches the ground bringing up pillars at the dashing Stan, who cuts through them with ease before attempting a flying kick. But Garou slams him into the ground face-first after grabbing his ankle. He throws him back into the same lampost breaking through it his time. Bloodied and beaten, he carries on. the broken Lampost somehow causes a ring of fire from an explosion.

Stain: I must admit. You have tenacity. But that's the only thing we share. I will not lose, till I've conquered her destiny!

His deluded mind won't give up.

He moves even faster than before as. He kicks Garou, this time in the stomach at super speed, sending him out of the flames. But he jumps back stronger. On 4 legs, he darts around the area. The two exceed lightning speed, clashing blows, sword and fist, parting the dark clouds above them minusculy with each blow. In between clashes, Stain tries to go for a stray blow to the head, causing Garou to instinctively bash through his skull with a cutting fist, before hacking his left arm off in one swing.

Garou: So delusional. Tell me, hero killer. Would a hero do this?

Stain: Even while fighting a losing battle, true heroes fight on!!

PLUS ULTRA!

Garou with cutting fist and stain with his sword dash at each other one last time and the screen fades to black as the sound of slashing is heard. It comes back, with the two facing away from each other still in their stances after the clash. But then…

Garous hand falls off with a sickening thud. He screams in pain and gets on his knees. Stain smiles, before falling apart to different pieces.

Garou: BASTARD HERO KILLER!

HIs other arm aches. He picks up his fallen arm and walks away from the fire.

KO!
