Todoroki thought he was the strongest in the class. It made sense due to his quirk and who his father was. But never before has anyone been so humbled.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvM63BXxGN
It’s a miracle he survived the collateral damage of that climactic fight. He was going to go to the main plaza, but hearing the commotion, he changed his mind. Maybe someone needed his help.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMUmKYWyDV
Clearly not.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCzT5HYgwH
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVGJAPauqM
But he could tell that it wasn’t Izuku’s normal state. His normal state was the one he was dragging through the broken city. Whatever caused his massive power increase, they can’t rely on it now.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb4T03GBVf
Especially if it’s anything like his fiery half. Todoroki can completely understand why Izuku might not want to use it. But then, what’s the solution?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1r98oaVqL
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxed7KjMNEa
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhSzLii6xb
Todoroki: “We can’t keep running forever, and I won’t ask you to use a power you don’t want to. But we need something. Think.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiOamLrXZF
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDmZrvbrxt
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSHb5oDlX5
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuCXiq40uc
Todoroki: “I… see.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Dt7poNSL
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q4YXgB5qJ
The boy can still remember the sensation of how to control his destructive fire. If he can replicate that, AND ONLY THAT, then he can win. Because capture is not possible.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s2naOOoHM
Izuku: ‘It’s fine. He’s not human, practically a quirk beast. I’m not a villain. I’m not a monster. I’m doing this to survive, not because I like it.’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig0cQePeZB
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhuXHy6pXo
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMerW1YhD9
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeIn7h7vNE
Todoroki pushes Izuku away as he dodges the Nomu ground smash. Debris is flung everywhere but the two boys are only scratched a bit. Todoroki retaliates by freezing the Nomu once more.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WM4xtOuLb
The creature can break and heal from the damage the ice causes, but not the damage from before. The severity of the wounds Izuku inflicted before refuses to heal.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMTdRmToUS
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HFKqMp0mE
They can do this.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y8bG1yXR1
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYWRa2QU3p
Izuku: “R-Right!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKmzqXqCrB
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl8U4j4Rb7
He digs deep, reaching for his psychic power and his flames. Like before, the primordial flame erupted into existence. But due to Izuku’s weakened state and the psychic disruptor, it only covered his arms and didn’t hurt as much.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc8sSZk3WY
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo3H7xhZzD
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45iktMKoqy
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93O7gX5yx3
He focused all of his will on forcing the flame to obey him, to focus on his hands. It was working, slowly. From his elbow to his wrists. The skin previously burnt was healing due to the softer flames.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTQqm1sVyE
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaVMqENO89
The pain, however, was getting to him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3vIEWyYxD
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ChN1nZI3r
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7E2U4B95E
He couldn’t open his eyes to see Todoroki overtaxing his ice to keep the Nomu back. He couldn’t open them to see his hands falling apart. It would only distract him and show him just how hopeless this is.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiZepyQpQL
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluk9AzA1yD
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8lzdN1UbW
Suddenly, he felt a cool warmth wrap around him. The flames cool ever so slightly, and his control over it is better. But that was drowned out by his sister’s awful screams.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NZSZsrMb5
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7N2KiLTMi
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUFYEsQh2h
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLIIykuj8s
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBLeJlK8iX
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MHzr46nmK
And so the prince commands and the flame obeys. The flames become cool to Fubuki, as signified by her grunts of pain being replaced by a sigh of relief.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjvgl5YOSs
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3Ia7IqBj7
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBWVLRiR46
Izuku opens his eyes with a green flash to see a nearly free Nomu standing a few feet away, hand reaching out for them. Now or never, the name of this biblical attack appears in their minds.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMzqs8UGeu
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVGzOIButw
With the screech of a phoenix, the flame is let loose to bring hell to the royal family’s enemy. The phoenix made manifest swallows the Nomu and consumes it in the roar of an inferno.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllAhiQZUzi
The creature’s screams of pain are quickly snuffed out. All that’s left is a melted sludge, a mix of the Nomu and the metal beneath him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrJb2eyNnO
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkrkZnPS9Y
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLib2PdJSu
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPvgn53ysL
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwARqWtFFM3
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L6tlue6wv
Fubuki: “W-What?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiOgd9Kmjd
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mVkWtCOaa
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AB2Qmc7PI
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ZNORYEuZ
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuB3XLsTCS
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBnCucOncJ
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYW0ArYkXk
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXxnEH2p28
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42kfraQ3Ns
Suddenly, the buzzing stopped, and Fubuki felt like a weight had been lifted. The flickers of fire on Izuku’s wounds burst into a constant flame.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6C7XJx7b9
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1eEv9vAj
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurJWY7pA6q
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XjU5PSdKB
Todoroki: “No problem.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBWDCMOz2c
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysH5tR1qh5
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxrJnTcHd7
Before the phoenix took flight.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaQ0qK5JXD
Apotheosis couldn’t help but grumble as he got closer to the central plaza. He failed to kill Fubuki, and now he knows his psychic disruptor is still far from perfect.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthjO4fXWSl
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBeKOGIlju
He wasn’t. Apotheosis arrives on the scene to see Kurogiri captured and Tomura being pressured by a student with red hair. Worse still, the rest of the goons have been defeated by the teacher and a frog girl.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdshH1TRwM
At least they did enough damage to have them out of the fight for a moment. A moment is all Apotheosis needs to turn this around. He dashed into the fray and shot a blast at the one who captured Kurogiri.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlci4otcw
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d9l5jo4GM
Bakugo: “Wha-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmfaQKNXTY
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZNgC9wvd9
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdfbHKoMoV
The boy didn’t question it, he quickly backed away just as Kurogiri and Apotheosis joined Tomura. The frog girl then quickly got the unconscious girl further away from the villains.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GHjauDi5P
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rFMpbmbyU
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnjpq04Owu
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHOymCQ0UM
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw7QCGpxVr
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazd0ySxAx0
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnlmCFojCz
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fAYhx2flJ
Tomura: “Not here.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOihAztB3K
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXATZmD4LG
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauFj67ZKcM
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBl40YOIle
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eVZ0fhSnt
Apotheosis could already tell who has delayed, or somehow, defeated Nomu. If Fubuki could surprise him, why not Izuku? But Nomu!? How on earth could he survive that? Was he really the quirk level he picked up?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1lM8cXo1M
He needs to do more research on his family.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9SwnqTvGp
Apotheosis: ‘I might have focused too much on Tatsumaki. The other two are just as crazy. What’s next? Is their mother secretly powerful as well?’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebJ7H3IQ7C
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS9XbS2vmm
Apotheosis: “Don’t I know it? Well, assuming Nomu somehow lost, I suggest we kill these heroes in retaliation and get out of here. We’re not leaving here with nothing.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo76Tmpamj
Tomura: “Agreed.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE2hmwXhtV
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4ZLmvQXc6
Seeing the villains finally turn to the heroes, Aizawa dragged his body forward and prepared to defend his students. The two groups stare each other down, ready for the final clash.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgAUMq4tmZ
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCrNlgclMg
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SzN8ncxyp
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOpwz5QrUo
Tomura: “All Might…”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aX1t5VMdf
And he wasn’t alone.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7G9beciCz
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLASUGlzbt
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQGiig9Ghu
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpQJYlrLKi
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eF0jMGDGF
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMU5JaBuIE
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2K1QYtVsW
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWFi8hCXCX
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM4YUMavLe
Apotheosis gets in front of Tomura and aims his power glove at All Might. He’s also ready with the trap foam if needed. But before All Might gets too close, something strange happens.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXXHEGslzn
Sickly mud bursts into existence between the villains and All Might. A gloved hand emerges out of the muddy portal, and the reactions are telling. The heroes are confused while the villains-
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8X5b4Y3RZ
Tomura: “A continue?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ujkkJlwB
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5grx1g5xMY
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jCwU6Gs8r
The reason for the change of atmosphere stepped out of the mud portal like this was a normal occurrence. He had a clean business suit, messy black hair, and eyes darker than the misty abyss.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweHA3hIKdA
It was those eyes that really sent chills down everyone’s spines. It was so… empty and cold. His affiliations were also quite clear. He had a face mask similar to Apotheosis. But unlike his, this one was black with straight lines instead of hexagons.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucdKFbDUv5
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8fOQEIQVV
Apotheosis: “Now that you’re back from your little trip, maybe we can win. At the very least, we should be able to take down some of these so-called heroes.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6CcBJajbY
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjLyhsPLcB
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGNwH8OqFb
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1uVulE8uY
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc4zL5KgDY
Surprisingly, the dead eyes of the newcomer turned to Tomura and Apotheosis and smiled. Unlike the eyes he’ll show to everyone else, these were… warm. But it was only for a second.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9D9hpG5u6
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA1gzytgkE
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lAb0y4YUa
No one tried to stop them from leaving; how could they? All Might was still stunned by who was before him while everyone else wasn’t suicidal.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjdSfm7ZaP
There was something about this man that screamed danger. Only All Might or Tatsumaki could possibly approach him; anyone else would be annihilated. Even Bakugo was slightly shaking in fear.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxP0LWtxuP
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgrwjAqEfW
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQItzHYk01a
All Might: “You are-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMhotXUurY
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJmk76MPer
He looks into the distance and closes his eyes. He feels the young flame that intrigues and frustrates him along with the cool snow. Soon after, he hears the faint sound of the wind. It was time to go.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIvnh9IjrB
Azrael: “Seeing that you’re too stunned to fight, I’ll take my leave. Savor the peace you have now, for this was just the beginning.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GmugzWl8J
With that, the man melted into mud, and silence returned to the plaza. What could be said after what just happened? Dirty past? Our Symbol of Peace?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GH0PWM87b
But the face All Might was making was no lie; he knew that man. The time for questions was over; however, the heroes needed to regroup and recover.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXCp7OkkG3
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ghJfOSKbs
Fubuki: “What happened?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8qvbUSHk8
Everyone turned to see Todoroki helping Fubuki, who’s helping an unconscious Izuku to the central plaza. Green flames were still licking the wounds on his arms and hands.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NISdID9ni
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EwVfnPFH1
Above them all, the usually explosive Tornado was floating down from the glass ceiling. Her expression was cool and calm, but everyone knew she was holding the fury in for now.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj4exmAXWs
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
