It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJhsfkNJgH
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsK7DaAVPS
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ZKvUlTuc
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy03ickAUw
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL01jnsglAM
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM2OiwYyYP
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCY68fPG9n
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nbYyYJ2lt
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfta6nE1hD
And murder those who would threaten them.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48bsdzFJvL
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgI0xhRTV2
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OebZWBXjV
Tomura: “Nomu!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVncJQXRfJA
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFQdAnPfCI
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR0oXaOdPN
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8LWSHUJZg
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHysEpVQaMw
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWEPf1KPwz
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIyjzZTtPB
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSHE9QtqO5
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfTZjGEQmu
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.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeQbx3LCH0
Tomura: “…Huh?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjp3FvZoMX
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2YrNEUAPp
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydAdMz0nby
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqhYgQlSUm
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNOZwkK5Zp
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjEHlBwWPR
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…
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLybkmQpnz5
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1P5XqqXZH
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47gS0LDrF9
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcVxWPIqIa
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAz4fTl0VC
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmuDk1noXH
Tomura: “Now what?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3NvqVL71F
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAJYs8FBRw
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhvlMWYyqt
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgXuBumizX
Her skin was on fire.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K6jK9YVcc
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOE2n3HXIf
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzOT18F5iF
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY6IffRAUL
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7TGcHqj3q
Kiri: “Asui!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj3iYFEne8
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MVO9Y2G3n
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKyJEtAwyx
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsYwRhHtMk
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIsXaJekxC
Kiri: “NOW!!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZcA24gVe0
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPUguTOW0l
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMi2LAPzcS
Tomura: “What… are you?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwWpwXjT0X
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc7BEShcmz
Kiri: “A hero.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4tf2KqxeY
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc2y0PXXk5
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgRDuhSqm8
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jYLeqblzs
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoYEt2a5CY
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxX48a1rff
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEJHrrJnR0
Tomura: “…No.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe1xQh7b3I
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSwsC3YUsw
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.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8kvmXq6I4
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts67VjgmNn
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgVvR3jmsk
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2CP8KMF6U
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUlnL615l
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKTodPr9bq
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCdzavNPTh
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsfEh36OWR
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX5bQGlzHN
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L0LK5XJro
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1edMQUF8g
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3MXtgZ5sD
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQcH3cSlu8
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoO60vOucj
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ4UUV9ovU
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLLrbzCjrO
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi36QDaLuMk
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs5UsiPqBm
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl1Ft3zXVK
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd7RjQdyeF
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnTrN1SZCo
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqQFfjI0L1
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDiyh5IUOR
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkte9hhvmI
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94RSanCwzV
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bSeDF9Nx3
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr79dew5Ls
Izuku: “Kneel!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKJvMN5RCq
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUtIMXSlks
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvA3l5otHD
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3zEuVbuxQ
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMjKVKaXrw
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdgt2STChp
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m13b5APaj
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm2DFavYA6
Izuku: ‘Why?’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2muM2M8yp
Another blow to its face.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaccYMJAcBy
Izuku: ‘Why?’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkkXyQxANe
Another blow to its brain.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSnEZTep3X
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOjXw4QgSR
Another blow to its body.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmU2xGj3l8
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZVP9sk9R6
Another blow to its neck.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL3kOPlVZn
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgehAmcMije
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhR8sImQ3U
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jHAi3DvSr
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3JucKM3Lu
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQhseJzgov
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuArjmMSpk
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENuV0gsOQ5
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIDd4YjIO8
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOplMetRskT
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHGYsaqMlh
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRbugGhh5C
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV0gBcCwU4
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVOzseOkVy
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBf6zlxvKg
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Ft3Jt1Tp
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUO87JTcxj
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNLMYiJTvj
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jVq7jVtEK
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRXR3cKMaP
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpQUrGg54H
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ5zuaNHzt
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD8Wnp4J23
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuDvLQ6ETj
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKYqcpjo77
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ8bNIDuGd
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4guEGtRzc4
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.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn1kQRzcNs
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME6264OBGw
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI28A8bRGl
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeFCzq56NB
He points it at the Nomu.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxyeCmIzD6
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNeHZFR6VI
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBi8wFAW0F
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7b29VWz7M
Izuku: “Huh?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCLDBPecCK
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2zajIYaDQ
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRanYwiQDAW
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfReBldXRGR
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXCEor9BDp
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRIrXGbIqX
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfle29BahBG
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFCMHE4nCb
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHFcaQ7xQk
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG48AmCym5
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVyV5kIQLP
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWevX3MBhDB
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS2G05IPhP
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNLmG9l18F
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4MqumpNxc
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ1rcQbVrP
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGb4rKaIa8
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT7Zclrlb3
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE0scWyEoo
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFiYG7OREW
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbjMM3NyE5
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeyYfIzXMA
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM7lW9mcTk
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu2iCVdHMU
He fired.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPJNgEgcRP
She crushed.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3MFdGdeaV
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5kqx13Caf
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKyxbfDuHZ
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfjaCijMVj
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtBqQdF5bo
The winner is Apotheosis.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbodkAjZ2N
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s84VkRGJI
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVr5zkYbQM
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtMlvjEbLx
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGttoJKwgl
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.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlJLtHobD0
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6wyaruxEH
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VLeBdgZeF
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWgGqZ6dEm
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM9FVrr40Q
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU627j1hFFq
His father.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRpt3vYlcM
The beatings.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqNNKtWA2a

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!”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0qvHIt2Cp
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY9wOcBquW
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.”

But before the battle could continue, they both froze. Something has happened, but they both came to different conclusions.

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.”
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjtSDvQQl3
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?
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQy1qwsV1F
Because she knew who the true source of this power was.

Fubuki: ‘But how?’
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh9UnoNeio
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.
