Before the battle began, Izuku’s group was making their way to where Momo was. Eventually, they came to what seemed to be a simple warehouse.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSht91gnFo
Izuku: “This is the place. I can feel Momo in there.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlafnWbMQzz
Aoi: “Me too. Well, I sense three people in there. One being in another room.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3hZhUF5i0
Mandalay: “What about everyone else?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrDAMwsJjz
Izuku: “Just them. But we can ask Momo where the others are. Don’t worry.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ZgMpEUpX
Turning around to the group, Izuku gave the order.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILztO05eEm
Izuku: “Nogami and I will go in, check the place out, and teleport them out. You all can guard outside and make sure no one disturbs us.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk3n43aKNx
Mandalay: “Good plan. Good luck, you too.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgC0JwBcBA
Izuku: “Thanks. Nogami, can you get the third person and then teleport to me?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMbgzUNBHt
Aoi: “No problem.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmlx5h0v1
With that, they were gone. Izuku appeared in a flash of green in front of Momo and Jiro. Sensing his presence, they turned to him, and instantly tears started to form.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOlTsjCber
Momo: “I-Izuku?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXpSWiYzje
Jiro: “Midoriya… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnRzsmdgCB
Izuku: “Are you two alr-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknBAaaPbt0
He had to brace himself for the tackle and hug he received. Momo was one thing, but Jiro also hugging him in relief? What happened to warrant such a reaction?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzYunaWg7V
Izuku: “Momo, Jiro, are you okay?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YgtK7LZKL
Jiro: “Just… get us out of here.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd2OxOJBtE
Momo: “We can talk once we’re out.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5KwjHSDo6
Izuku: “R-Right.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjBkV7s2oI
Just then, Aoi teleported in, carrying another surprise.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddjTjTRe2i
Izuku: “R-Ragdoll?!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xVCfYNlC4
Aoi managed to find some cloth to cover the unconscious Ragdoll’s naked body, but the sight was enough to make anyone wonder the cause.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUhRo8d993
Momo: “Oh no… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDobjPyyJ66
Izuku: “Teleport them out, Nogami. I’m destroying this place.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjffyHQvYh5
His tone left no room for argument, and honestly, she agrees. The numerous tubes of gestating nomu didn’t escape their notice. They’re just as bad as quirk beasts, and the world would be better off without them.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7OqnCQYRL
Aoi: “Right, hold onto my shoulder, you tw-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYh7guCyRF
“I’m afraid I can’t let you do that.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIiK9MhYAp
The fear, the suffocating terror bearing down on their soul, prevents all movement. They couldn’t look towards the darkness where the muffled voice came from.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Pg9f2M1g
“I am sorry about the pro hero. I thought she had a useful quirk long ago. Since the opportunity fell into my lap, I decided to take it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKyiNbLuSh
The implications are clear to the once quirkless boy, and that was enough to partially lift what was constricting him. It was what allowed him to sense it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJNxuiYZef
Izuku: “GO!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4zmjaFhAB
Putting up a shield, he pushes Momo and Jiro toward Aoi and Ragdoll before the blast hits. He can only pray that Aoi had the time to teleport everyone away as his world shattered.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rC5WWoeAU
In a single instant, the man’s attack made Izuku feel death breathing down his neck for the second time in his life.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsKG51W87s
Muffled voices, blurry vision, a destroyed shirt, and a broken but healing body. Izuku opens his eyes to the sky and to a cityscape torn asunder. Floating above him was a man in a black suit and mask clapping.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqyVqK988C
Somehow, he could tell who he was.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVyU97j4Zq
All For One: “Impressive. I can see now why my pupils have had so much trouble with you and why Gyoro Gyoro fears you. Your quirk is a terrible thing to waste, but you’re too much of a threat to Tomura’s future.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iIW2S2KZH
A raised finger, a promise of death.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVUxpTEk5k
Momo: “Izuku!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRzHId3P5s
But death never came; the space Izuku was in was empty. The blow meant for him hit only dirt.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrHK66Tbwx
Izuku: “K-Kiri… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZRXWORpXa
Right on time, Valkyrie came and delivered the prince from death. But even she shakes with fear in front of the being before her. The boy can feel it while being carried by her.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS6qRUgRmp
All For One: “Ah, Valkyrie, the number one vigilante. I suppose you will be a good test before he makes his way here.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4qM4vyvga
Izuku: “K-Kiri… don’t-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqFsYjqqTm
She has no choice; she puts him down and kicks off the ground toward All For One. The resulting clash was massive, enough to block the view for a time. Just enough time for Aoi to teleport Izuku back to everyone.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSkYCcbuMA
Seeing his state, they couldn’t help but call out his name in worry. Even Bakugo looked pale. The only one that didn’t go to him was Mandalay, who was carrying Ragdoll.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCnVo5zwOF
Cecelyne: “Impressive power, by your world’s standards. My prince, this man is above your current level of power. I suggest you channel one of us if you wish to fight him.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyVjlzSCiC
Izuku: “I will… just give me a second.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg9dS6pycr
He thinks while trying to get up, but Momo places a hand on his bare chest.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzPe3Q3zs0
Momo: “What do you think you’re doing!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGv1sZ9OSG
Izuku: “I have… to help… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYd0CRwAPC
Ida: “You idiot! You’re in no position to help anyone!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemYPlqyi79
Mandalay: “He’s right; besides, this is a rescue mission. Valkyrie can handle it; she’s strong.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsl35ptc3Q
Izuku: “But Kiri… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlWpLPQs3s
Todoroki: “Kiri? She’s not-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtuV3gQL6q
Sabrina: “I see… Valkyrie is Kiri. I should have known.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln0WEoS3rq
Bakugo: “What!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4ZF9NGM2k
Before they could let that revelation settle, more surprises were dropped onto the battlefield. From several portals emerged the rest of the League of Villains.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3qSSTYKKa
Apotheosis: “Damn it! I’m going back. I-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInuM8r3l7Y
Tomura: “Sensei.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxqQBe8zDy
The League looked up at the fight, and Izuku’s group did the same.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaXkbnQCYv
He couldn’t believe his eyes; All For One was playing with her. Kiri, in her strongest state, was easily handled like some house cat.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOlLuTYm7E
Her attacks were overpowered, sidestepped, or simply ignored. But she never backed down; every blow that sent her flying only spurred her to get back into the fight quicker.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PAtSEzGyc
Yet still, this wasn’t much for All For One. In fact, he had the time and freedom to talk.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xKGW0J3ZK
All For One: “You’ve failed again, huh, Tomura? Apotheosis?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qOZ8V39HW
Apotheosis: “Tch!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPI93c52w0
Tomura: “Sensei… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb4iMcZsqZ
All For One: “I am not upset. Don’t be discouraged. All you need to do is try again. While Azrael holds back the rest of the heroes, reclaim your important piece.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqATJOVMT8
The man managed to point at Momo while punching Kiri away again. The villains turn to the group, and Apotheosis couldn’t help but smile.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfplaY0kps1
All For One: “Try as many times as you’d like. That’s why I’m here.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeuaRqJdVb
Kiri: “LEAVE HER ALONE!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXDP30goNL
Instead of simply punching her away with sheer force, All For One used a quirk. Red and black tendrils erupt from his palm, aimed straight for Kiri’s chest.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEoLtYp1J2
Narrowly catching it, Kiri avoided death but didn’t avoid being thrown through several buildings.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFKJmXjbO2
Momo: “Kiri!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hc2TcMzsA
Mandalay: “Nogami, get us out of here!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpUTCvYrU8
Aoi: “Righ-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30CLPdtuW7
A blue shell envelops Izuku, Aoi, and Sabrina.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeojcMwm53
Izuku: ‘No, not again!’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXD9UHWTy2
Apotheosis: “You think I’d let you leave again! No, this ends tonight!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL6yhdMVS6
Tomura: “Take her.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0n4CFHcCJ
Seeing no choice, Mandalay places Ragdoll down in the safest area she could before giving the order.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDzJhxhGap
Mandalay: “I hereby give you all permission to use your quirk! Protect Yaoyorozu!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADtemGYJN4
You didn’t have to tell the ones used to or eager for battle twice. The first to move and engage was, of course-
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizDKMtRnbl
Bakugo: “DIE!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDkMDR0DlS
A large explosion engulfed the approaching villains, signaling the start of the war. The army of All For One vs. the army of the Prince.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytLO5uto8Y
Momo: “Mandalay! Sannomiya!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nNTe4fAk8
The two quickly equip the cat claws and sword created by Momo before joining the growing melee.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsePRhMBLcU
Ida: “Damn it… damn it!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaRbD6wBuC
The situation was fucked. The idea of getting out of here without fighting was well and truly dead. So with no choice, Ida speeds into the chaos to help his friends. Momo stands ready to jump in too, until Jiro grabs her sleeve.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4R3qzX0Rm
Jiro: “Wait! They’re after you; don’t go in there.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD7eHSe9uR
Momo: “Unless there is some way to help free Izuku and the others, I have to help! You stay here with them, Kyoka.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRW36jifJg
Escaping her grasp, Momo activates OFA and dashes into the battlefield wielding a sword and shield.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOH7ACVskl
Jiro: “Momo… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMfVec8kAO
Izuku: “Jiro.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4LJxGcDlQ
Turning towards the shaking but still frozen Izuku, Jiro answers back with fear eating at her.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9lJCOjhyA
Izuku: “Jiro, I know you’re scared. I don’t know what happened, but I know you can get through this. Our friends need your help.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZwPmIyRPz
Jiro: “Me? Are you serious!? Look around!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL8VfokyaT
True, it was a mess.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdklg4843Xf
Kiri was slowly being wilted down, while everywhere else was an actual warzone due to Bakugo and Momo. How could she help?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDghL05onA
Falling to her knees, the girl begins to weep.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYTlonuZGu
Jiro: “I can’t do it, Midoriya. I thought… I thought I could. But nothing has changed from the beginning of school. I’m still at the bottom. I couldn’t save Momo when she needed me. I didn’t help much in I-Island and wasn’t there during Hosu.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gRO2Re2V9
Izuku: “But you’re here now! Please, Jiro. You may think you’re not helpful now, but you have a role only you can fill.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOHJjDRVLD
Jiro: “And what role is that?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bpDLuWMvn
Izuku: “Remember the final exams and school festival. With the right gear and timing, you can take nearly anyone out in one hit! You are the only one right now that can even the odds. Please, Jiro.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zZ9Mv7JVW
She looks back into the battle and focuses on her friends.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO1629ZGAL
They’re losing.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcXaVa9IUc
Mostly due to Mustard’s controlled poison, Apotheosis’ power, Kurogiri’s portals, and Magne being a pseudo psychic.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZJUcHKzMv
If they were taken out…
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ2ypumSFr
Then she looks at Momo, brave Momo. A girl who struggled with self-confidence. Now look at her, right in the thick of it with little to no fear. Fighting villains and shining while doing so.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4sYRBtcsi
The girl closes her eyes and tries to breathe out the fear, the anxiety, and the worry. It doesn’t work, but she stands anyway. Because that’s what heroes do.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyvho9qvFH
And she wants to be one who stands beside and helps the ones who trust in her. She can’t fail, not now when they need her. So even if fear fills her lungs, she will fight on anyway.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9blQLHO7
She’ll break down when it’s all done.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkojkXbysA9
Jiro: “O-Okay.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgLk3EyNbe
Izuku: “Good. We’ll break out of this soon. Trust me.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR1CqavH2h
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4PM9wkJie
Tomura stood back, taking in the battlefield. He wasn’t as good at Apotheosis at making plans, but he has played video games with this type of scenario.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvA2flUyFu
A mission objective against enemy forces using unique characters to clear the stage. The best way to win was to play to your characters’ strengths.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh1l8ua9z8
To create proper matchups and formations. And that’s what he did.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR01Zmjtbr
Yeah, Spinner nearly got defeated by the old lady who turned out to be Mandalay. But Magne quickly saved him from the fire.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsa92R3AHd
After that, Tomura gave orders through the earpieces Apotheosis made for everyone.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEqXE8QvDJ
Twice was back with him, making clones of who is needed. Currently, a clone of Magne was present. Speaking of; Magne, Kurogiri, and Mustard stayed back, offering support.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2kZG9iy8W
Dabi and Apotheosis were in the middle, dealing damage when they could.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvbRAArKGm
Spinner and Toga were at the front, the only way they can fight. Their job was to open up chances for Compress to take someone.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR14B1nUkY
The main objective was to kill everyone but Yaoyorozu, and this formation was slowly doing just that.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfi5hm5kWe
Mandalay kept the ragtag group together and coordinated, but Apotheosis always kept her on her toes with portals occasionally appearing under her. This allowed Toga to actually keep up and cut her sometimes.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkAfgTIpwP
Shiho was deadly, but her tempo was always thrown off by Magne pulling her every which way. It’s the only reason Spinner was still in one piece.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNwEMxA1hE
Ida was the reason for the second Magne. His metal leg was perfect for her quirk. If anything, Ida was a liability, constantly being used against his allies.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHBHz3FgM0
Todoroki and Bakugo were the hardest to deal with. Both tried their best to take out Mustard or Kurogiri. But Dabi and Apotheosis made it impossible. Add on Mustard’s constant barrage of controlled poison clouds, and it was a miracle they hadn’t fallen.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6IRSwOJK7
But truly, the worst of the bunch was the target. Momo was much faster than Tomura expected. Anytime Compress tried to go for game, she’d speed away.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLIYzK3B2f
Any ranged attack was blocked by the shield. Spinner had his hands full with Shiho and couldn’t engage in melee. Apotheosis was out of spatial locks and couldn’t risk killing her, so he was out.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYakOWYy8zt
Worse, she kept making drones, forcing someone to destroy them, leaving them open. It was a constant back and forth.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe9WFJPGF5
Tomura: “She’s a cheat. But that’s why she’s an important piece.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBmUCjW2Gp
There’s a time limit too. If the other three break out of their containment, then this becomes impossible.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWEgpn5gpq
So the boy had to do something risky. But he wasn’t the only one. There was one more piece on the board he failed to count. One that will ruin his plan before it even comes into existence.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjVOofdGUo
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFZnoXUnSu
To be a hero is to be infected by a special brand of madness. How else would you explain the events unfolding? Jiro is a child, and yet here she is running into a warzone.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngHiBfy1W0
Her mind was not on her safety but on her friends.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2k2c1VxdJ
Jiro: “Momo! My gear!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxdKl900Vl
Reacting instantly, Apotheosis and Momo both turn to her. Not taking a chance, Apotheosis fires a blast from his normal power glove.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUjEilViq4
Bakugo: “Move!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOXpsL4Wm8
Blasting to her location and pushing Jiro out of the way, Bakugo was forced to take the blow himself. With a grunt of pain, Bakugo was blasted away from the war.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeaneGGITf
Even if it was for a moment, the battle tempo was shattered.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOfKawoN9y
Without Bakugo present, Dabi unleashed a greater wave of fire at Todoroki. Unable to hold back in the face of such heat, the boy unleashed a large wave of ice that Magne forced Ida to receive as well.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU76hIwo44
Dabi: “Tch… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oYYlULJw5
Both Dabi and Ida are stuck in ice, but the strain of the attack causes Todoroki to pause. Enough time for Kurogiri to shroud him in darkness, teleporting away from the battle.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58QilEDxZD
Despite the chaotic turn of events, Jiro doesn’t stop, and neither does Momo.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg2rNpXCku
Creating more drones that force Apotheosis to refocus, Momo turns her attention to Jiro. Having a good idea of the plan, Momo creates the needed support gear.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBcQYcCpev
Tomura: “Magne!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhG9kW5LYj
That was until one of the Magnes used her quirk.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnmOmb34kb
Spinner: “What the-?!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBObqFdxk3
Narrowly dodging a swipe from Shiho, Spinner is pulled toward Momo. Righting himself, Spinner angled his giant sword at the girl. Unable to afford a gash or wound, Momo focuses on the coming Spinner and blocks his sword with her own.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1AHFBupbD
Tomura: “Lock them down!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SIBAJe9Hk
Momo glows pink while Spinner glows blue. The magnetism keeps them from separating from their swords, locking them in place.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb42eBooKPP
Tomura: “Now!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPpZoCygRw
Dabi melts out of the ice, while Apotheosis finishes the last of the drones. Turning to Momo, they advance on their primary target.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSqe3RGJVD
Jiro: “Momo!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWIkJJBkKp
Still, Jiro doesn’t stop making her way to her friend. Seeing this, Momo uses her quirk, something they can’t stop her from doing, to create what Jiro needs. At least two of them, the magnetic field makes it hard to push out things made of metal. The second was mostly plastic and smaller than her boots.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmm5fQK9EA
Together, they make the backbone of a plan that should earn them the victory. If Jiro can make it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywpqV28CvQ
Seeing this, Jiro runs faster. But Apotheosis and Dabi are faster. Or they would be if not for two things.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Eqi7TTZJ
First, Shiho throws her sword at Dabi, forcing him to dodge. Next, Bakugo drops from the sky onto Apotheosis, forcing him to block it. But the boy wasn’t done.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw6WcGqqQC
Bakugo: “AP Shot: Auto-Cannon!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7CAJPaQhL
At the same time Bakugo fires at the trapped Ida, and Shiho fires her wire capture at Compress without even looking. Tied up, the man couldn’t do anything to prevent Mandalay from knocking him out.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZFORpTFCZ
Toga: “H-Huh!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LoqfdkWQk
Without that support, Toga was quickly taken down by Shiho with a simple but powerful chop to the neck.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrA4DvYX3H
Not wasting any time, the pro makes her way to Dabi alongside Shiho. At the same time, Bakugo kept pressure on Apotheosis.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWpAkI4W8l
Tomura: “Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!! Stop them, Mustard! Kurogiri!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡombNVJXTxY
Kurogiri: “I can’t focus enough with that pro sending an overflow of information into my mind.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwkmkyOeXs
Mustard: “I don’t have a clear shot; they’re staying behind the target, or Dabi!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCiajQYYCN
He yells as Jiro makes it to the gear that dropped from Momo’s bare arms. Knowing the plan, Jiro covers her eyes with the infrared goggles and equips her sonic blaster.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM9DHktQEX
Momo: “Now!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmWra7B6QE
Smoke explodes from her body, rapidly covering the battlefield in a shadow.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7naaMphpbX
Apotheosis: “Seriously!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcufOZITc2y
No one can see a thing, and the two who could create light didn’t dare to unless they wanted to give away their position. This gave Jiro the perfect chance to end things.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkF2BUnVHp
Mustard: “A-R-R-R-A-G-H!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONzJ9yDh7G
Magne: “U-G-G-G-H!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4lvKdxFdu
Tomura: “What the-!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAm1yb51Ob
Before Tomura can check on what happened, a blue blur explodes out of the smoke.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5kQNqj3tG
Ida: “RECIPRO BURST!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wgrp76PRo
He waited for the moment when Magne didn’t have a clear shot or was taken out. A moment where he could use Tomura’s voice as a guide and deliver a kick that reverberated across the battlefield.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkoMTuBeOb
In a single movement, Tomura was kicked into the ground, knocking him out.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhPiTkFNyM
Ida: “Ugh… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoTK9uHVd1
But not before grabbing his fake leg and turning the entire thing to ash.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XacOjzFZA
Apotheosis: “Tomura!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs89xmka1h6
Disregarding the safety risks, Apotheosis used the infinity gauntlet to create a miniature black hole to suck in all the smoke. But it also starts to drag everyone else too.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2222brxv0
Twice: “Dude, are you crazy sane!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iarmDj0Pq
Apotheosis: “I don’t care if she is an important piece. She’s dying along with everyone else! Magne, release the magnetism when I say!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtBt9nAHNS
Everyone held onto the ground, stopping themselves from being drawn in. Compress and Toga couldn’t stop themselves though. Seeing this, Mandalay jumps in the way to catch them. Using one arm to hold them and the other to grip the ground, the pro manages to save them from whatever happens to a body that touches the gravity well.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJSPFoJ16p
The same gravity well being aimed right at one of the students.

Jiro: “Momo!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiOpCaAQUf
The girl could do nothing. Her earjacks are stabbed into the ground, preventing her from being pulled but also preventing her from helping her best friend.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqAicvdOqR
Apotheosis: “I hope Izuku is watching. Say goodby-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr2obHxSlV
Aoi: “Hello.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx4jYTt6y2
To everyone surprise, Aoi appears in front of Apotheosis, freed of her prison. But more than that, it would seem the gravity well has little effect on her. The only thing moving is her hair.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p0TvuIHs2
Apotheosis: “I-Impossible, that was too quick! How-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpLqkkDTmB
Aoi: “It seems space doesn’t have much of a hold on me.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjKodgjWyp
Taking advantage of his surprise, Aoi teleports him high into the air. Before he can realize what’s happening, Aoi appears before him again with a raised fist.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXE8xq4wok
Aoi: “This is for Kaoru and Aizawa!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNZt2vlwb2
A heavier than normal fist collides with his face, sending him crashing down. Not onto the ground, but into-
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qXVH8nTBM
Twice: “Oh shi-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0NdozM1ws
As soon as he crashed, the gravity well exploded. The result was a release of all the force, debris, and smoke that it absorbed. Everyone had to cover their face from the impact.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cNHWFCFCY
But eventually, the smoke did clear. Under the foot of Aoi was an Apotheosis with his eyes rolled back, leaving only white. Luckily for his cover, his mask survived the hit. While under him was a Twice with swirls for eyes.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmPYYIpG0s
Dabi: “Crazy.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFWPhYpmJm
Aoi: “You think? I’m in no way as bad as the other two. Isn’t that right, Sabrina?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQFN8dDMDh
All the villains, conscious or not, were pulled into the center and tied with a whip of lightning. Sabrina floats down along with a shielded Ragdoll to the battlefield, with the grace of a goddess.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFfy4Xpv9Z
Sabrina: “This battle is over.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypf45uR7aM
She says while crushing the Magne clone, turning him back into mud.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVcLUsu0vy
Spinner: “H-How did you all get out?! Apotheosis kept that Midoriya kid locked up way longer than that!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBMfKoVoB7
Aoi: “Seems like I can also free others from spatial locks by teleporting them out. Isn’t my quirk amazing?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjUxrnShAw
Spinner: “Damn it! It can’t end here! Stain’s vision hasn’t-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjoaAnlr9j
A single punch from Mandalay was all it took to end his oncoming rant. Shaking her hand, Mandalay turned to the gathering students. They’ll have to find Todoroki and either help Kiri or escape. But something was missing.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIdsfdJ8DK
Mandalay: “Good work, everyone. But where’s Midori-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tplohuWuz
The answer came in the form of an immense pressure and the sudden image of a green sun forming in their minds. Sand starts to fill the field as the temperature begins to rise.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4NLXzTXdq
Sabrina: “I don’t think Midoriya will leave until he helps Valkyrie.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCy5OzrATO
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx4wRhQn9G
The Space rumbles and quakes beneath the boy’s skin.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6z2L7pjgp
Aoi Nogami.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOZcYYfcM6
The entity doesn’t think it ever came across a more perfect Apostle.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PhN2CmTlZ
To do what it was struggling to do through the prince, and even freeing the others. Extraordinary.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsAMu3SgQ7
It must have her.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWAbzrkRIM
But that can wait, for the entire legion is present for the battle about to be waged.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SWzushDEi
The prince was freed, fully healed, and marching toward All For One. The villain wasn’t blind; he could sense the approaching threat.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXiMd4P7NE
A threat that far exceeds the one he is currently holding.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1tcr5ORZU
Izuku: “LET. HER. GO.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDX2waqHrX
Kiri tried her hardest, but all she did was prevent All For One from interfering in her friend’s battle. Her strength at this point was spent, unable to stop All For One from holding her by the neck.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2b0UjxaAC
But it would all be fine. For her beloved was here.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC1apIcONG
All For One: “Very well.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Ho036XxE
He lets her go, and a gentle breeze carries Kiri away to where Mandalay and the others are.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25SxpkIoYX
Thus, the two are left alone.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO3M23r6uc
All For One: “You’re more than just a student. I sense… more. If only I got to you before he did. Even your sisters would have made excellent pupils. If only I wasn’t defeated by All Might.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6UM2XnbP
That was the last straw. Enough was enough. Stronger than him? Perhaps, but that won’t stop Izuku.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKTnzuuWqS
Several metal pieces from the warehouse explode from their location and rush to Izuku. They bend, break, and melt until they can come together to become his Avaarian Edge blade.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbzp7EfByf
After that, he calls the name he desires the most.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qUbQrL10J
Cecelyne: “Yes, call my name, my prince. Bring my divine order to this broken world.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheQJzzAOHH
All it takes is a whisper.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA9QXkoKp2
Izuku: “Cecelyne.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3prgcKwzu
And nothing was ever the same.
