It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpD7gwqmO8
Izuku wasn’t registering the villain's words, all that consumed him was the sight of his little sister being strangled to death by this monster.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bdav6fmLz
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vbgST87bM
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjooI0jD6y
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o8FX9QMrm
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ccLW89B6k
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ3ad4yLwB
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0rjFRvcOY
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KjYDrtL7l
And murder those who would threaten them.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bp9cFxGpW
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJIOUDuO8g
Two locks of his hair raised up like demonic flaming horns. But unlike before, these remained as he lifted his hand to end his enemies.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXR7vha6Oy
Tomura: “Nomu!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxfL7GqKCw
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpozeYds2a
Thankfully for him, Nomu quickly launched a heavy blow against Izuku. Prioritizing defense, Izuku brought up his shield just in time. Still, the blow was enough to send him flying.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYM44ewBWY
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRq5a9xsfc
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjURFDuGjsg
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81t8OXchts
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokr7qGTi2X
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5qyTEhfTd
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVVjSWUsyi
Kurogiri: “I have incapacitated her; however, I’m afraid the students whom I could not scatter impeded me. And she was therefore able to escape with her life.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBgXMIcTUU
Tomura: “…Huh?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlCSLy1ioB
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m4M5qwjMU
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrtSRQNFAn
Tomura: “And if one of those brats left to get help, we’ll lose. Especially if Tornado comes here. It’s game over… for now. Get our strategist, and we’ll hop back.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMWemMr98C
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOptT61iF5W
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzGII8LPr2
Tomura smiles as he turns to the still-shocked Tsuyu. Not only was the scene before bad enough to nearly make her hyperventilate, but then what happened Izuku…
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ214bcG5Jb7
She has the abilities of a frog and also their instincts, the instincts of an animal. What she felt from Izuku was like being next to an apex predator. No… something far more primal and ancient than that.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjQwtX9h7J
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR48BDkAVQ
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiwxeYiwWE
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nJFCqv3Gg
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhWkRq7DMX
Tomura: “Now what?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98pPU1a365
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF92mjvucs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAr64x2mlz
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJ9WHhRCU
Her skin was on fire.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZJ6Zi8tkA
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYqvKRrIhB
Something was wrong, and it was affecting her. The desire to rip and tear every living thing around, to offer their broken bodies to her green sun, was filling her mind. She could even feel her body morphing into something more monstrous.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJZn097b5q
But she knew this wasn’t her and certainly not her brother, right? Regardless, she fought it down and got up. She won’t let these villains hurt her classmates.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XUv9QfWd8
She didn’t notice their faces painted by fear of what she looked like now. It didn’t matter; she had a job to do.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQIxN9sBLj
Kiri: “Asui!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTTzCmGQva
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo2AyAnIy7
Finally snapping out of her terror-induced stupor, Tsuyu looks at Kiri. Or more like in her general direction; she couldn’t stand to look at her.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvQBX0QLI7
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjr7mDWhvH
Tsuyu hesitated for a few seconds, wondering if she could even help him. But whether she wants to or not, it isn’t her choice to make.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3fcx8Nihl
Kiri: “NOW!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4YdaryV2t
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VuDmRCRyt
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceWNW38csS
Tomura: “What… are you?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU348dSTiob
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQccsJTGchL
Kiri: “A hero.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8l8wwm3hc
She bursts into action with a fist ready to deliver a near-fatal blow to the leader. But this snapped the two villains out of it.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PeG5hGJUV
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym2pmuJ7mo
Kiri suddenly feels her blow get redirected to her face. An explosion of green smoke erupts from the impact, but she growls it off. She won’t let this stop her, so Kiri dashes to the left and then forwards to Tomura.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmjfVlO99E
Unable to keep up, Kurogiri was not able to create another gate in time. So that allowed Kiri to deliver a vile uppercut to Shigaraki. If he didn’t dodge at the last moment, he wouldn’t have a head. But the wind pressure of the attack did knock the severed hand off his face.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL7w4nMJKp
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuECeEzRWAP
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7twSIl4jWn
Tomura: “…No.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOCf6DS03S
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu8XH3l3dL
Tomura: “I want to strangle our strategist for giving us such a poor game guide. But… even I have to admit he couldn’t have predicted this.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Ae1kgh6X
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqAcqmMZfB
He had to cut his words short as Kurogiri quickly transported himself and Tomura a few feet away. All to dodge an incoming green and white meteorite.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSvYcV35l8
Its impact was heavy enough to cause a small crater and mushroom cloud of green smoke. Out of that smoke emerged an even more monstrous Kiri.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTk66eVy8J
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rgs82vf7v
She grabs her hand, trying to keep this fury under control. But her vision starts to blur as her mind is consumed with only one thing.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyersJfZSo
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDRDlxSq5m
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZwm3x8JDX
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0OE10MGOs
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmgZJQW0pM
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOqaXNaYN6
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVCgVKnLM2
The explosive boy was not grinning like a madman. Yeah, he was happy to finally get a chance to deal with that misty bastard, but this was too serious of a situation.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cwjhvImko
So he worked fast. He sent an explosion into the mist, quickly working out where the main body was and grabbing it. Then he slammed it into the ground, hand ready to end it if need be.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuyMCXBV1a
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJs8VP0ev8
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWXFxaNafj
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TxjpII8o2
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JJNWAU4J0
She couldn’t hold it back anymore, her hand reached out for Kirishima. To outsiders, it would seem like she was going to caress his face, but in reality, her hand sought his neck.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnit13NU45I
But luckily, for whatever reason, her form suddenly reverted to normal. The abrupt change in states was too much; Kiri’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E978ia1U1
It was only due to a miracle that her form didn’t dissipate and return to Izuku’s mind. Or maybe… it was too much of a hazard to return to right now.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywDlNIYrno
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4cYtKCrjk
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJvBVY2pcs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2muGOuExRG
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssFHDIpvAU
After the blow landed by the Nomu, he was sent flying over the sea and landed in the city zone. The black creature arrives shortly after and tries to deliver a fatal blow from above.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQWUzelSxC
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvU6ZpROxf
Izuku: “Kneel!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd3HwpPMia
It does so, like a good mindless monster. Izuku creates a Psi-Sword, not out of his tie, but out of thin air. It crackles with white lightening and emerald flames born from screaming stars.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhojpo4J8y
The Nomu breaks out the telekinetic control in time to avoid a beheading, but not enough to avoid a slash across the chest. Good thing too, it can easily heal that.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalr5Pg28Zl
The moment of shock from Izuku was enough for the creature to deliver a ground-shaking blow to the boy’s head. But instead of an exploding head as expected, its attack was stopped by a pinpoint-accurate shield.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjxWnreqI1
Then the impossible happened; the Nomu was punched in the face. Normally, due to its shock absorption quirk, it wouldn’t feel much. But this punch was heavy and filled with something more than pure strength.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbXr8nZOeX
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GCFuBKAzi
Nomu attempted to get back up but was kicked back into the ground by Izuku. He teleported above the creature and dive-kicked into its chest.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicyIY5zchg
Unleashing all of his built-up fury and hate, Izuku delivered blow after blow into the embedded Nomu. All the while, a question was beating inside his head.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz2oOaJOFD
Izuku: ‘Why?’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuzJPL4RW4
Another blow to its face.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X5bUt4gdv
Izuku: ‘Why?’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4utUvghqHT
Another blow to its brain.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksIOegsRWW
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt0Wid2xIW
Another blow to its body.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrEy1DXoLN
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIngBWhhlo
Another blow to its neck.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuw4Vcw3FM
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm5bqjNIil
That’s when Izuku could feel a sickening smile creep onto his face. Seeing this, Nomu grabs Izuku’s cape and slams him into the ground next to him.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsL4Niyat4
Capitalizing, Nomu gets up and starts hammering Izuku into the ground. But it amounts to nothing but a stream of fire from Izuku’s maw engulfing Nomu’s face. That moment of sudden pain gave the mysterious boy the chance to cut off the legs of the creature.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ97SL4XiYr
Nomu falls back while his legs begin to heal, but not fast enough. Izuku sends a powerful wave of psychic force that propels Nomu back into the streets.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrjUxfEowj
Flying after him, Izuku collapses the nearby buildings and flings the debris into the recovering Nomu. The creature punches the assault away or tanks it, which only excites Izuku further.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqnZpd85Pq
Continuing his charge while continuing to destroy the city around him. The coming clash, the smell of battle and carnage. It was too much; Izuku gave in to the infernal sensation.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0KCGaDS7M
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYLrAJPg2q
He crackles like a madman as the two monsters clash in a flurry of blows. Some of the esper’s darkest impulses are brought to bear. No longer is he concerned with killing the Nomu, not yet anyway; he wants to make it suffer. He wants to drink deep the fear he can sense growing in the mindless creature.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9UIxduwBY
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqygio9yYB
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L1Hk8nMbv
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTYAZbuCUa
The Nomu is a mindless artificial human; it shouldn’t feel or think anything. But for some reason, it does. There’s something in those eyes; no, there is more than one thing in there.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Ixu3uLB3
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnh6KyY8QX
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAwZf6tmfZ
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMcs7N5HCP
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLJktMu9OS
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcslYgmWdY
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzwxzvdxyq
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmE3xFx4Q4
He uses another force blast to send the Nomu flying back and then shapes his sword into a curved design. Taking a strange stance, Izuku begins to swing the sword in elegant arcs.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTqnIzHBiD
Each swing sends a spear of energy into the body of the Nomu. When a few dozen of these green lances graced that scared body, Izuku ends the dance.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoNmKstjds
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWUQDwsfsr
A green fiery explosion erupts from the body of the Nomu. It was enough to blow off its left arm and severely damage its chest and legs. But that wasn’t the real problem, no.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiLbEMSCzz
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAu9h3m9XX
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOp456ytrv
Izuku smirks, admiring his work while walking towards the whimpering beast. Every step burnt the ground beneath his feet, causing smoke to follow him wherever he walked.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3kN5yQKpX
Izuku: “I think I finally understand why Bakugo bullied me. It’s… fun. Having this power over you feels… euphoric. Especially since I know you deserve it. I wonder how it will feel when I pay back Bakugo for everything he has done to us. I can hardly wait.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasWHL4PNY6
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i8dVid3sX
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro10d4Tr1J
Izuku condensed his Psi Sword into a fine point within his palm. After a moment, the energy in his palm started to look like several small green stars.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlTr7Mc73d
He points it at the Nomu.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxxcLTO1by
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYcgbNms4J
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENlJL80b4M
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58dxYyABXJ
Izuku: “Huh?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHO7lfYkm
Then he begins coughing heavily, splashing spots of blood onto his palm. The flaming horns recede, and the power he once held disappears. Izuku drops to his knees in pain, his whole body alight with agony.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJg42wjKEj
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk83ji1eFj
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSieSmrCFft
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1MDY24UTX
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOCi5NlHWX
How could something like that be a hero? A true hero isn’t supposed to revel in rage and bloodshed like that. They’re not supposed to be excited at the idea of killing or revenge.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5elCGcLUk
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAaYkA5k6M
This inner turmoil wasn’t lost on the Nomu. The fear that consumed him slowly eroded. This was its chance. Carefully, it got up and approached the kneeling boy.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUJWaRm1Lz
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHrRBi0Pc5
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrQFk48jFY
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7km2M7pEVy
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlLDCZkeJc
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ROZT0Z68g
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN7gPGYbet
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ765Qu3X9gY
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2WlsHBMeT
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kqtN1gLtS
They were in quite a stalemate. Fubuki was quick enough to dodge most of his attacks, and Apotheosis was smart enough to not give her any ground.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ac3KBvjfr
But this couldn’t go on forever. Fubuki was getting tired, and Apotheosis was running out of power cells. So, they both decided to end this with one final charge.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhTLB5lkbW
Apotheosis pops in the last of his power cells and increases his shields to one hundred percent. He doesn’t think it will help, but on the off chance, it might stop her telekinesis.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFed1kEVMH0
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE8SRC6ihd
Within moments, the deciding second arrived. Fubuki strained her eyes to find where the shield generator was but came up empty. Within that instant, she made the hard choice to just crush everything around his waist.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntuolNOEBo
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zDQef0Ohw
He fired.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrYY8nMPnE
She crushed.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmJYt1CpwN
He screamed in pain as he felt his body armor being crushed into his skin. The sound of broken ribs echoed in his ears; the pain was enough to miss the shoot. But not by much.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVV2KoCCk8
Fubuki screamed in pain as she felt the skin on her shoulder burn away due to the energy beam. But more than that, the force was enough to dislocate it and send her flying back.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDnL7DqSLs
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyUglbShBh
Exhausted, Fubuki grabbed her shoulder and tried to get back up from the awkward fall. But the pain was breaking her focus and therefore her power.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRr5ZU70E2
The winner is Apotheosis.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ1rjnSf1W
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k9nt1nOrM
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafkNzRKRbo
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYiO5HivG4
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfmCUZU2HP
Apotheosis: “Nice try sister, but I guess I’m just better than you. Don’t worry though; know that I will take good care of our brother and that bitch you call a sister.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1KNSumXtZ
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vzhldPw8d
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdm8j2PNbJ
Her hair whips up, and her eyes flare blue as the ground beneath them breaks apart. Instinctually, Fubuki sends psychic waves right into the mind of Apotheosis.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqy3uZTlP8
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS8kwJ91LD
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifhTt9iEEU
His father.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuKLTzV5gp
The beatings.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0wr4tyA3Z

Apotheosis: “Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!”

Granting his wish, Fubuki raises and uses a two-handed psychic blast to send him tumbling into some fallen trees. But she wasn’t done, she rose into the air and unleashed her signature attack.

The ground rumbles, and the cold air listens.

Fubuki: “Hell Storm!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVFPkwimvx
Instantly, a large tornado formed around Apotheosis. Dragging in rock, dirt, and even the fallen trees into this death trap. His screams of anguish were drowned out by the roars of the wind.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn79YJdpQRo
A few seconds later, the tornado dissipates as Fubuki descends back to the ground. She stands tall, ready to continue the fight and defeat this blight on her family.

As for Apotheosis, he emerges from the smoke still standing but severely damaged. His clothes were in tatters, his precious armor cracked, and even his face mask was destroyed. If his shield wasn’t destroyed before, it was now.

Apotheosis: “You… you’ll pay for making me relive that.”

Apotheosis: “There’s only one person that could have a quirk level over a hundred. Damn it, I need to get to Tomura. We’ll settle this later.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJo3m1S86N
Apotheosis runs off to not only get more data from All Might but to save Tomura if he needs it. Lord knows, that out of the three of them, he gets into more trouble.

And if Fubuki tried anything, he still has his Trap Foam. Fortunately, Fubuki let him go.

Why?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCUAOKoI0T
Because she knew who the true source of this power was.

Fubuki: ‘But how?’

Even with the Psychic Disruptor still on, she can sense Izuku’s power. But it was all wrong; it was twisted and dark. Nothing like what it should be.

Her brother’s psychic signature was warm and inviting. This was anything but. However, it was still clearly her brother, and he needed her help.

Fubuki: ‘Izu…’

So she pops her shoulder back in place with her quirk, runs to wherever he might be, and prays she’ll make it in time.

There are a lot of references in this chapter. If you noticed them, great, but don’t mention it in the comments. It’s not blatant enough to warrant me having to say which fanfics (or more so other verses) I’m adapting yet.

I want to keep it a secret for now. So don’t ruin the surprise. But by all means, give your thoughts in a vague way.
