After Kaoru left Lily and the other injured heroes far away from the battle, ready to be taken into medical, she flew back into the battle.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllu8sMCG2O
Screw the fact she didn’t have a license to use her quirk; this was an emergency! As she edged close to where Valkyrie was, she saw Tatsumaki slowly tearing apart one centipede while three strong pros were dealing with the other one.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw0X1j4hT2
That left her to help the number one vigilante and cull the smaller centipedes. When she arrived at the scene, the sight nearly made her empty her stomach.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMqWwmdgNH
Valkyrie was truly a machine. She didn’t stop, she didn’t breath, and she didn’t show mercy. All quirk beasts that got close to her were torn asunder. Some even seemed scared of her.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqynHSbeCi
But if they thought they could run back into the hole they crawled out from, they’ll have another coming. The esper gathered several pieces of rubble above her head, quickly creating a giant ball.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46NwAsZBR
Might as well sell it. She raises her hands and has a bit of fun with it.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXwaA6OlDI
Kaoru: “Give me your energy!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CoANDpfYZ
As if in response, the rubble ball started to glow reddish pink. When it reached a sufficient size, enough to light up the night a bit, she threw it at the hole.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjymXApC5nP
A second later, a bright explosion rang out within the black of night. The nearby centipedes were blown apart while the hole was closed by the rubble.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqijEpAA0f3
Seeing devastation, Valkyrie halted her rampage in time to notice Kaoru descending next to her.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhx1yl9ue
Kaoru: “Hey! Let’s clean the rest of them up and then help the pro heroes out.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAHgI2VTYC
Sure enough, there were still some remaining creatures left. Valkyrie nods and goes to charge in. But she stopped and looked up.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MZaGbz9cX
Kaoru: “What is-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAxPfnV2FH
Up in the sky, they see Tatsumaki flying off. Thankfully, the large quirk beast was busy recovering from the beating it received.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvpqcguxov
Kaoru: “Where is she going!?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRHCWGiWlH
Kiri: ‘Onee is… mad.’
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ziTSXBvJZ
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDEPsFCiY0
Fubuki has gotten stronger, it is true.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUy5qMDhhd
She conducts her empowered needles through the quirk beasts, producing several fatal holes. When that wasn’t enough, she used them like claws and tore them apart, always at a distance.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYgneS9dZ3
But this was also the first time she had used these abilities in a long fight. And like against her brother before, her stamina is the problem.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFiedn0iAS
The swarm is shrinking, but that doesn’t lessen their aggression. As proven by the several cuts and bruises she has received. But she refuses to let something like that stop her.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYMw0BBadR
She won’t embarrass herself in front of her big sister or little brother. She’ll prove that her training wasn’t in vain, that she can stand on her own.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM3fwNyRNH
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEvJ2EPFcb
Blood trickles down her nose as she commands the horde to stop long enough for her to use the needles as a moving storm front. The hazardous blade bites into their flesh, turning the blue tornado re-
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPFRwPUbRf
A rumbling in the ground and a sharp pain in her side. One tunneled underground and pierced her stomach. Even still, she fights on. Cold air escapes her mouth as she forms a fist. Instantly, the ground around the centipede condenses and cuts the creature in half.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYpr7Mju6g
Grunting, Fubuki then rips its top half off and throws it at the beasts that survived her razor tornado. However, the wound received didn’t magically heal.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts2vHrazps
She falls to her knees while holding her gaping wound. Using her quirk, she is able to keep the blood from leaking, but she is unable to close the wound. She has not learn how to heal like her brother yet.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uGveOo4RS
Despite the situation and the oncoming centipedes, she doesn’t feel fear. Instead, she feels strangely… calm. Victory seems assured as she places her hand forward.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJFWGQD6vR
The temperature drops considerably as she allows her psychic power to-
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOynxMO8YFI
It was as if a bomb dropped, but considering the green glow, Fubuki knew who it was.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SMTdBauJS
The creatures were turned into paste by an enraged Tatsumaki.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmAGR5ILmw
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVowU5uW3vg
Tatsumaki: “Leave.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPX39HGhby
Fubuki: “Huh?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYOe26cN9g
Tatsumaki: “You’re in the way!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTsKlEEFMU
Fubuki: “What!? I’m-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uhjHtcgJZ
Tatsumaki: “What are you doing here!? Focus on evacuating if you can’t handle it, or better yet, you should have stayed with our brother. Where it’s safe!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2IeQ72hof
The eldest didn’t wait for a response; the battle wasn’t off, and there were more idiots that needed saving. So she took off, leaving Fubuki suddenly exhausted.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZjFCCXves
The power that was building up left her body, and she felt ready to collapse.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2gxsxQ5e4
Fubuki: “Big sis… am I still…?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IxX3vCmVt
There was no time to dwell on her possible failure. Her sister was right; she should reunite with Izuku. So she drags her body to where she thinks Izuku might be, making sure to keep her senses open for him.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOzeZI05gY
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZnJKuP2Iw
First, it was racing here after feeling Izuku in abnormal amounts of pain.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgvdharfev
Second, it was being forced to let the man who nearly took her brother away escape.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoII4J7mKsG
Third, it was the unexpected struggle of fighting this centipede. Even targeting internal organs wasn’t slowing it down much.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhwrID68rw
Fourth, it was seeing Kiri fighting the smaller centipedes instead of staying close to Izuku. If she were with him, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujqaDFbZAf
Finally, it was seeing Fubuki once again putting herself in danger when she didn’t have to. She should have evacuated or stayed with Izuku. But now, she decided to fight a bunch of bugs. She’s clearly not ready to fight alone, unfortunately.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsdAWTW59I
This all comes together to make one very frustrated Tatsumaki.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ZdluoMBJ
Tatsumaki: ‘This ends now.’
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8axlJ5rXB
She rushes back to the recovering centipede, who was looking at Kiri and Akashi like snacks. Not on her watch.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHYVhCqcbX
To their apparent surprise, Tatsumaki flings them far away with a simple hand wave. They are unneeded and will only get hurt if they keep fighting.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNyfgExER7
Free of all distractions and worries, Tatsumaki holds both hands out towards the charging centipede. Just like that, it stops, frozen in a green glow.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacOQ55WxbO
Channeling all her anger and frustration, she senses the entire length of the creature. From the head all the way to its tail deep underground.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eGv3NdYk5
Then, with enough force to make her forehead bulge with veins, she pulls. The ground quakes as the entire centipede is lifted high into the air.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0qChXzCb7
It bellows in distress as Tatsumaki slowly and painfully starts crushing it. Organs turn to paste, carapace shatters, and its bones are reduced to powder.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKDJZVcFRJ
Blood rains from the sky, but not a drop fell to the earth. It collected around the shrinking creature, creating a small red planetoid. Those who viewed this were left in awe, for the sight displayed just how much power Tatsumaki had in her.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSal20LrVLU
When the screams stopped and the red blood moon was the size of a building, Tatsumaki put on the finishing touches. Using the surrounding flames, she evaporated the blood and burned the remains until only ash remained. At last, she let it all fall.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqfZNNVGdZ
Task done, she descended to a destroyed building and fell to her knees. She may not have gotten damaged, but this was the first time anything ever forced her to use so much power.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBrUHtwCpr
It felt… strange to be running low. Surely, this was enough. Surely, the other heroes could handle the other one. She can rest.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOeNNxpixv
Tatsumaki: “No… never.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08F5g26hpf
Even if that’s the case, she can’t rest on the job now. Must always be ready. Must always be her family’s unbreakable and undefeated pillar. And someone like that doesn’t rest when others are fighting.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuqZ0Hj2Ds
So she inhales a large volume of air and flies off, if a bit slower than usual.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXHo9C0BNm
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo94LWDQwQm
Endeavor has to admit, despite how much he dislikes Tornado, her power is undeniable. In some respects, it’s more impressive than All Might.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q5KjI247f
And because of that, he can’t fall behind. He has been fighting this centipede almost as long as Tornado, and he too was close to finishing it.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Cwq0Wg8d
Its body was charred, and thanks to some help from Edgeshot and Gunhead, its many sharp legs have been cut off. Blood oozed everywhere and it was slowing down. One more blow to the head should kill it or knock it out.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBrat5VoHF
However, like many things, events didn’t go as planned. The creature seemed to mourn the death of its kin, but didn’t have the strength to enact vengeance. Not today anyway.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoSDFjTfqq
So it ran, slithered away from its doom.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHgordxJZk
Endeavor: “Don’t let it escape!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZmXnqL7re
Gunhead was too slow and couldn’t keep up. Endeavor threw flaming spears and balls at it, but they only hit the back of it. Edgeshot was faster but couldn’t do much damage while its belly was to the ground.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWrvb0IG2F
Endeavor: ‘No! We can’t let it get-’
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWgiwlHQGG
A large explosion echoed in the air, and carried alongside it was a familiar word.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l6gUcP5o2
SMASH!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgvDLa7e0j
It would seem fate would mock him regardless.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZieyJ40g0U
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKOrVaCQ57
Thanks to Tokoyami, the trio reunited with their classmates and friends. Despite the darkness of the night and harrowing situation, they all smiled at the reunion. Even if some things were worrying.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJD5JCweT3
Uraraka: “Midoriya! Ida! Are they… ”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKla75rAjzJ
Momo has been at work while Tokoyami’s group was arriving. For Ida, Momo made bandages and painkillers. For Izuku, she made a bed with wheels.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEendx2qzf
Momo: “Izuku will be fine; he just needs rest. Ida though… ”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz5ntptRAw
He was also asleep on a mobile bed; the pain and stress of the situation were too much for the young man. The bliss of sleep was his only escape from the reality of his state.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMorlC76GP
Tokoyami: “Fiends… ”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnliDSKtKG
Dark Shadow: “Vengeance… ”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwogouZmSR
Uraraka: “Who did it. Was it him?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Z8tQAThz
With a glare that Bakugo would be proud of, she looked to the still unconscious Hero Killer. Despite that, Todoroki was standing close by.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJm0HsIntv
Todoroki: “No, Ida was like that before Yaoyorozu and I arrived.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzogWAcgoLy
Momo: “I think it was the one who Izuku fought. His sister was the one who saved Izuku from him.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfAyFdf1mL
Kirishima: “Then he’s as good as caught, right?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAyUaefid8
Momo: “I hope so.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd9QiSmNOw
Todoroki: “We should get moving. It seems like one of the quirk beasts was defeated.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlTFSDThHI
The group turned to see the aftermath of the fight and what Tatsumaki did to the creature.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawECbHLBA1
Uraraka: “Scary… ”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3v4wgddQw
Todoroki: “Their whole family is.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucy8mNGbkx
Kirishima: “Haha… yeah. Speaking of, where is Tae?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn5VJfdev5
Momo: “Don’t worry, she’s safe. She can handle herself.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFZfbUQkNk
Kirishima: “Heh, you’re probably right. I hope the pros can get everyone together. That way I can stop worrying.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW0pqe3rfS
Uraraka: “Me too. I hope Emory and that child is alright.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0MEdEdi88
Todoroki: “Everyone, we need to move. Now!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOhJaxjj8W
Hearing the urgency in the boy’s voice, the group turns to see what has gotten Todoroki worried.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH9UHhrov3
It was the last centipede, damaged though it may be, running towards them.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhyWFahJ6g
Kirishima: “Seriously!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1RHCtf7zp
And it was fast.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOXv9fgojZ
Izuku wasn’t awake and couldn’t lift everyone.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmf7Ae2rfL
Momo: “Uraraka! Can you-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrtCPycJ2M
Uraraka: “I… don’t have the strength to get everyone out.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna30VeuXdT
Momo: “T-Then jetpacks! I’ll make one for everyone!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOESEp0GDdl
But she won’t have time to make one for everyone. Seeing this, Tokoyami and Todoroki look at each other. They are the only two with the strength to maybe give them time.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTkTnXM8Lk
Not wanting to get permission, the two run towards the oncoming death train.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7rSXR2mfR
Momo: “Todoroki! Tokoyami!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoH1mGEdY4
Kirishima: “Damn it!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM37pp8j5D
She knows. Damn everything, she knows and understands what they are doing. Dark Shadow at full power and a glacier could buy enough time to get everyone else out. But…
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRsTZ4C06N
The stakes are too high to second-guess, she must act now! The back of her costume explodes to reveal a jetpack. Using her bare arms, she quickly makes another. She needs three. Hopefully, Uraraka is strong enough to carry Ida while Kirishima carries Stain.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Xocev2Kp
The two brave boys stare down death with much fear, for this is the role of a hero. To be the wall between the innocent and the tidal wave of evil.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8CJxxNXoN
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEMmSMenp3
The living shadow roars as it increases in size, nearly fully consuming Tokoyami, but the boy holds onto his sense of self. They are not fully in sync, but for this, it’s enough.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgzOFr3iv
Todoroki supercharges his ice, enough to create a glacier to dwarf the one made in the tournament.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8LbkgtTh6
Within moment, all will be-
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX39OiPoCkg
All Might: “Well done, young ones!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzbn2SgkPL
That voice… it was enough to fill the two boys with hope. Even Dark Shadow calmed down from it. For it will all be alright now.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta1VW6gepU
Why?
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpxWDLCIaI
All Might: “Because I am here!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dh8FdscNW
The number one hero appears before them with a fist reared back.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRlk8B5PV
All Might: “Detroit… SMAAAAAASH!!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyU5XuUQn2
His fist collides with the face of the centipede, stopping it in its tacks. At first, nothing happens. No air or explosion. But then glowing white cracks started to form on the face of the creature.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqnLIZruLK
Before long the cracks spread thoughout its entire body. Then all at once, wind pressure exploded from within. The creature was blown back as it slowly disintegrated into nothing.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ321C9x0KMd
This was All Might not holding. For most enemies, he is not allowed to actually kill them. But that’s not the case for quirk beasts. Even Tatsumaki can’t destroy them so completely when compared to an All Might going all out.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKuzSvt2qK
But only All Might knows that even this is not his best.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4poFIm6z1
All Might: ‘I could have made it here faster if I was at my prime… ’
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZc6NCHxTl
Regardless, the battle was now over. The crisis resolved with one punch.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLCJCvrJdX
Todoroki: “All Might… ”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE961JDBhw
All Might: “The battle is over, but now it’s time to rebuild, young Todoroki. You two, take care of your friends while we deal with everything else.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdUFGqfpnj
Todoroki: “Right.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOek29Ykxn
Tokoyami: “Thank you, All Might.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuheuIWwtBP
He gives a nod before jumping further into the city to regroup with the remaining pro heroes. They need to salvage this situation quickly and prepare for the inevitable lynching from the press.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7de6KjHm6S
Meanwhile, Momo breathes a sigh of relief. But deep down, she wonders how much this will lessen All Might’s time as a hero.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWrw9O7jtf
But for now, it was over. Now all that remains is the aftermath.
