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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPxSvyFsUh
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoJdZSsUfB
Clearly not.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfOqZ0X04
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe01nVYGkp
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrjpAolrbk
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?
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlVI0k4iGH
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHleZCTEPl
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBxcuRGl3r
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.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ipzd0C2k
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnlTqqt8wJ
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzmXOkyNNM
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xPchLZbf9
Todoroki: “I… see.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YHGiGJhK7
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwdZm00xMm
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd1XTTK21R
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.’
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6x4UmKCtg
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeoODYIklV
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfn3chRXKs
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwJOmEYMBV
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3OMGUcEd2
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPaonvYCah
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWzcVyqBet
They can do this.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeDfzvgGiG
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujcqWGrvXB
Izuku: “R-Right!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVtOzFNHOM
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4H9RO6rb7
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhnYHSDvPp
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii3r0ISjMV
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOC2gRZJPt
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5MspWLhT0
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IUm2aS0De
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRvCHUTJKm
The pain, however, was getting to him.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF3z8KrIlg
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3LeTLLz6M
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDWI9D6V7t
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VVdmP255z
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg2tbIdkly
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgzGyDrNHQ
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR1U1qoae4
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWsMTvZPFJ
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuSJ9plarY
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThvimJfPbI
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xoZEyjvrA
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsUrDB4gUI
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0zfbfBGjs
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidtKpJmuuc
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqVpv4tV1R
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRabFC270Lm
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYco7hUFGZd
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqmqZIjkkf
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PDPZ2e6p0
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiBM0L6LfV
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubbHYRMSH
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4BlcCisbn
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTNxYjUtqq
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N6fQF9Jis
Fubuki: “W-What?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcEFWJ7CyQ
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe0GfuVs9i
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvardEHWYYq
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYTjpNqJcr
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ8hnOrHdE
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4y4D51otR
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DkDqUIYUz
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFzFjDyQ2K
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5pMYhR2Eq
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINouK20VAM
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybtKRaxNwu
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mSiAHyFod
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzD45Bn6B3
Todoroki: “No problem.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusmh05selG
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDugvfXzRly
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQIlf2UuuI
Before the phoenix took flight.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSe8SnhljD
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CeSpNYrJ6
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBgqveHrq
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3zXNrQ64Y
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuZBqxARHN
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuN7KFvzMH
Bakugo: “Wha-”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u1NN8Sh2x
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNonLTQrmf
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYBR7Ir1QT
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM6wCiv27p
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFQvSEJLYB
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExBzrljyCC
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ53os8UXnm
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIPMwvKNSM
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAolxtykUv3
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMLUF5f9x6
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkFHdrLpRk
Tomura: “Not here.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP14NsOVi3p
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD1cRt8hn1
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzjyuTpdXq
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFnORb8eGB
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPeN07qVtz
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?
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVPPlUdJxo
He needs to do more research on his family.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgq4hl6VNx
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?’
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvzDFug2X4
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rm2H5xTvO
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.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Ux8ayTbQ
Tomura: “Agreed.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE1OQTTW3Q
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwt2GpI8Zn
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DtzTYl5u
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwmpwpIAqc
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ho6PTVKXl
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC6R9ksnjW
Tomura: “All Might…”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjasIupb2R
And he wasn’t alone.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88Fao5dTJn
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM50My8wqT
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzSmNgsSSN
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tgtTberh2
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9bafyV9GQ
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcmVzRaYTx
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzMooqpXnG
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO3ag2HHLz
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETvzdFU0R4
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu6sjGCnB5
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-
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJG66Jd4R3
Tomura: “A continue?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEglScitFU
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG9mDKIxx3
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U9G0Jemwq
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6iG9xqK9t
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIzNjwND3T
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6rU73X64S
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.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MsBJhqupv
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunUTtF2e8Y
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJMOLBVT5K
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ4G3jAZ1B
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc46We5EJle
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyO0BZMFcR
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokatR9fTsw
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpB2JZAfMw
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjkPTbiFCI
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI5G4v3b4h
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbQMFHYoZG
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg9eLa016T
All Might: “You are-”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyfuoH8viY
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmiKSV9DKX
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LPzBkFEDd
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.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oOseQdl4L
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?
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6iQMm0HWM
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9XkSS3kZa
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz3b62iFxV
Fubuki: “What happened?”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoI6bPGNxK
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTomFY3F26
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXEz656Ljg
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.
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztHMeSNKji
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
