All For One will win; he always wins. That wouldn’t change just because Blizzard and All Might head his way.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2HY2jZn2T
This fact was held in utter confidence by Azrael. Victory was assured with Sensei around. So it didn’t matter if Azrael played with his food a bit.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qHogFqYs6
Well, playing was a bit much. He was fighting two of the top five strongest heroes.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2BwhvokqF
Their skill was on full display in this 5v1, and yet Azrael was more than holding his own.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5prEN2L5Py
A transformed Mountain Ape slams the ground Azrael was just on. Still in the midst of dodging, an opening was made for Edgeshot to appear behind him, sword at the ready.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklodUUgGLX
But thanks to his fight with Izuku before, he was ready. But the color that erupted from his prize wasn’t green but dark purple, curtsy of Theo’s reverse engineering. Lightsaber met polished steel, the result being obvious.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOiuRdaa8r
Edgeshot evaded the laser follow-up and allowed the rest to fill in his space in the battle. Trying once more, Best Jeanist uses his quirk to bind Azrael’s body.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUT5TJLots
Even if it’s for a second, this gives the four melee fighters a chance to close in from all directions. But Azrael holds his breath and shoots up using the Jet quirk.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39b2jR2uTt
Before most of those below can react, Azrael summons four purple dragons from his back. Free from the binding, he unleashes magenta lasers onto his foes.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9MnCopWHd
Best Jeanist pulls Mountain Ape and Lily out of the way. Eyelashes and Edgeshot got out of the way by themselves. But that didn’t stop the lasers; they focus and follow Best Jeanist and those he aided, forcing Mountain Ape to tank the blast.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf40lLbrb3
Before his skin starts to boil, Edgeshot uses his quirk to turn himself into razor-sharp cloth aimed at Azrael’s head. It won’t be lethal, but it will knock him out.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyS3MppZbG
Or it would have if Azrael didn’t strike them both with lightning. Azrael takes it no problem, but Edgeshot is forced to the ground, body smoking.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lukbBUTk8
Azrael: ‘He won’t be out for long.’
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdQTSGi8OK
Without turning, he slashes to the side with the lightsaber, an attack Eyelashes barely dodged. But he didn’t dodge one of the purple dragons, which flung him into a building with its massive bulk.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPggCKlyj3V
Despite this, as soon as Azrael touched the ground, the man was on him again. This time, his quirk was activated. The hair on his brow enlarged into something more feral, while his eyes became wide and blue.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSjPBy9Zw6
Faster than normal, Eyelashes engages Azrael in a lightning-quick melee. His eyes never leave his enemy as he dances with death with every lightsaber swing.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwB5dWIqiG
Azrael: “Your eyelashes become really pronounced when you use Focus Fringe, almost distracting.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVpCuqrSwA
But he is no common criminal that would be distracted by the strange look and intense gaze. He evades the clever attempt at a finger hook, using it as a chance to lunge. But it doesn’t land; nothing does when Eyelashes is like this.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBvfHITnlx
But as proven by the falling hair from his brow, this won’t last long. Best Jeanist uses his quirk to wrap around Azrael, finally tripping him up.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlTO6CjVAK
Eyelashes & Edgeshot: ‘Now!’
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlcYlk4Euf
From the front and back, Azrael is cornered. The purple dragons emerge from his back against Edgeshot, but he easily dodges them.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5yvXiGxb7
Eyelashes evades the next lightsaber swing and aims his weapon at Azrael’s face. Before long, both gambits land.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2RmH7CEWJ
Azrael’s head is blown back from the fierce uppercut by Eyelashes’ curved batons while Edgeshot stabs his flattened hand into Azrael’s brain, cutting off blood flow. That instant was enough for Edgeshot to take the lightsaber from Azrael.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUznuNC8Owy
Taking no chances, Best Jeanist fully wraps Azrael in denim cloth and tightens it. The result was a living wrapped mummy.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BkM9jhCfR
Lily: “Is it… over?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL8kuKbfFo
She says while leaning over the still smoldering Mountain Ape.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZzZg9Gvw4
Azrael: “Of course not.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHXVGpzpfh
Black lightning surges out from the mummy, burning the cloth trapping it, and revealing a barely damaged man.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfms9W00DG
Azrael: “All that and barely a scratch. Even Midoriya managed to do more damage to me. But I suppose you all don’t have quirks suited for the job. Oh wait, doesn’t that mean you should wait for someone who does?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknLLYw13NQ
Edgeshot: “And just let you cause further damage? No, we won’t do that.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIMGq72Epa
Azrael: “It hasn’t stopped you all before, I’m sure. Passing off the responsibility to someone else you think is more qualified.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra1XAzoncp
Tired of his words and actions, Lily gets up and points her staff at him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICyI3n4CL3
Lily: “Shut up! You are nothing but a deranged villain who enjoys hurting people! You’re just trying to trick us into letting our guard down.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWziO14cuB
His eyes narrow and twitch.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ySS7cB5K
Azrael: “Is that what you think?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOmMgOaRtb
Lily: “Yes! And we’re going to bring you down, because that’s what heroes do!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YK8ccQeO9
That did it.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQfqyFTrLF
Azrael: “HEROES!!?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUQwuy0Psc
An explosion of black lightning erupts from his body, electrifying all within the city street. But the lightning didn’t burn; no, it revealed something more.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGsKQhsvWz
Azrael: “How dare you call yourself that. When you know nothing!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2zr4zpS7o
Coursing through the lightning were memories transmitted as electric signals to the brains. It told of a story, one that was spun 70 years ago when quirks weren’t broadly accepted.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqtxdWG5x
There was a scientist who presented his theory and warning to the government. It came in two forms.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHp4vc3ikI
First, the quirk transference for social equity. No more quirkless, no more random distribution of power, no more destructive quirks that only cause harm. Everyone would have a fair share and more peaceful lives.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PaAHgMp19
The second was the Singularity Theory. The end result of the quirk mutation. It was suggested that quirks would grow stronger over time, eventually reaching a point of such power and complexity that they would be uncontrollable. The end of us all.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kHFQv4iIL
However, what the government and Public Safety Commission at the time did was belittle his ideas, even banishing him from his career and society.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaORzLdHIy
But in truth, they just wanted control! They ripped him off his project and began working on his first theory. Not to help others, but to create living weapons. But they weren’t as brilliant as the scientist, so the procedure became nothing more than a Russian roulette.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0M7lEyiXC
The same applies to the second theory.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwedQnYLLal
The Singularity wasn’t something to delay or prevent, but something to control. The ultimate tool of domination.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DraM7T2wn
And what is the result of that hubris?
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcauny3VGPm
More images appear: a faceless woman sitting across from a faceless man in a cafe. She makes a deal to transfer her quirk to her son, one who was so desperate to be a hero, to fulfill his one and only dream.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPAFLWeJvu
But after being rejected by his idol, ridiculed by his peers, and chastised by the public for actions not so different from Izuku’s, he was ready to give up.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAqgEnnnna
The mother was desperate and so made a deal, one that caused the devil to smile.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO87YZBRi4s
The result of the procedure was obvious.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsnNyDgU4j
Azrael: “IT FAILED!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4gqz6FbHQ
The dream shatters, and only blood remains.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGWM4fquQt
Azrael: “They didn’t care to help the boy; they just needed a consensual specimen to test on!! The doctor and sensei tried their best to save her, but it was too late!!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrugo7KCno
The boy who was forced to become a man trembles as the ground shakes in tune with his growing fury.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74O56kRwCJ
Azrael: “You are no heroes! What you protect is nothing more than a disgusting, rotten society!! What you do is just throw your fist at those you condemn as villains!! And you dare question why we do what we do!! How else will anything change!!? You won’t fight the government, the corrupt Public Safety Commission, or the pretenders who are worse than us.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32d7y2JDwV
Tears start to form.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ3wMwdMXY
Azrael: “You say you want to protect and save people. But you won’t and didn’t save Tomura, Theo, Toga, Spinner, Twice, Dabi, Compress, Mustard, Magne, Kota, or my mother!! You won’t save those who fell through the cracks or were born different!! Do we not matter!? Does my mother, Nozomi Akirame, not matter! ANSWER ME! YOU FAKE HEROES!!!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4idLxHVsB
The angel’s spirit trembles, the sky bellows, and the world looks into the watery eyes of one who is broken.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGEteQnFVb
And only one truly understands.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5yhNKVcuP
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPVFQlm3wa
Tatsumaki was too busy with the delicate chaos to fully block the black lightning. So she also witnesses the past of Azrael.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0MhjSFaM7
To her growing unease, the woman found she could relate to and understand the villain.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ypLZHuldN
She was used in experiments by her father, no less. She too could have gone down that same road if her mother and sister were gone.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWUCgBKaZx
No.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatbrf7RjlY
She would have become something far worse. Having her family is the only thing keeping her sane.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN7GZMXJv3
So if they were taken from her like that, then the whole world would pay for it.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrXdNMXIWl
Tatsumaki: ‘I understand… ’
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzecUEfzjD
Which makes it all the more important that she needs to get this done. Tornado wasn’t blind to her brother’s pain; she felt it all.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y6RF5JP0b
If she didn’t trust her sister and All Might, she may have just abandoned these kids. Still…
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAudKtvW2K
Tatsumaki: ‘What’s taking them so long!?’
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGoAWxMdQN
Ignoring the large explosion that signaled the continuation of the other battle, Tatsumaki focused further on the task at hand. A task made so much harder with the corrupted Kaoru interfering with her own psychic power.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KamjYHtsD
Twirling out of the way of a psychic blast, Tatsumaki flung her away and blocked a wave of purple acid from Mina.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zo2TcTtrm
Tatsumaki: ‘I almost got it… please… hold on… Izu.’
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRonaY2Y3Ia
Dodging above the large explosion of hardened blood from Vlad King.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mNyp5gy2B
Redirecting Sero’s tape to tangle with Ibara’s hair.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnWTs7MUDj
Forcing Setsuna to not break apart using her quirk.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxIPYZWsi3
Containing Kaminari’s near-constant outbursts of lightning that threaten everyone.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQ4nnUjaz
This and more is what Tatsumaki has to deal with, leaving little time to focus on the main goal.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hEB8WAqfv
But this is the Tornado of Terror they’re dealing with. Every second counts, and eventually she knew how to separate the human from the nomu. At least for one of them.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmbgSdIP3q
Blocking another psychic scream from Kaoru, Tatsumaki grabs Pony and goes high into the sky. Before Kaoru can awkwardly follow her, the woman does her job.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HyAZAu29l
Ignoring the barrage of horns pelting her shield, the hero does mental surgery. Within moments, a naked Pony is ripped from the nomu ooze.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbEFAHhbsN
Tatsumaki: “Yes!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH10oYmswY
Quickly, she protects her and Pony from Kaoru before slapping the annoying girl back to the Earth. After that, she keeps Pony in a powerful barrier before going back down.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkpkcw9j3M
Each of them won’t be the exact same, but now it won’t take so long. And once she’s done here, a building-sized present will be waiting for whoever hurt her brother.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO3guUE9ay
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY6raFZ6Vb
Lily should have kept her mouth shut. After learning more about Azrael, she couldn’t help but feel for the guy.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aPkdRIReW
But that sentiment is doing nothing for her right now. Clearly, he was just having fun with them before.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOWEObMjnz
Edgeshot and Eyelashes were down but still conscious. Best Jeanist was still in the fight, but only barely.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgFYX9jUhm
Mountain Ape has become a stress ball at this point. And her?
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwsZZfJoAw
Backhanded and slapped aside like she didn’t matter. Clearly on purpose. Whenever she tried to help, she was cast aside.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhQmaqhI1o
Crawling out of her third pile of rubble, she comes out to the sight of Mountain Ape getting beaten half to death. Azrael’s attacks don’t care he’s blocking, and he overpowers any restraining attempt by Best Jeanist.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdzipQOEOz
Frustration and rage build as she watches the display, causing the white flower on her head to start to bloom.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ974OdDFggs
Eyelashes: “NO! Calm down, Lily!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWiTPrSQ0S
Snapping out of it, she wills the flower to close. Unless she wants everyone here to die horribly, she better calm down. So she takes a breath and prepares to charge again with her staff.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDxIDp0iUJ
But then-
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeJzG8mrCB
Bakugo: “DIE!!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuswzEz1M3i
A human rocket collides with Azrael’s back, taking his attention away from the bloody Mountain Ape.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYaTbYG3Ug
Azrael: “Mor-”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpI5gCOSyb
A large glacier explodes to life and freezes Azrael in place, at least for now.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTjkNks5aP
Mandalay: “Is everyone alright!?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh21z1cmPQ
From the side come reinforcements, one pro and several students. Seeing this, and the fact that Azrael was trapped for now, the other pros regrouped and took a breath.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rNZpf8Jqj
All except for Mountain Ape, who needed Sabrina to carry him with her quirk. But she nearly fails when she sees the kidnapped students fighting Tatsumaki.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqlMiwbpVZ
Shiho: “No… ”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ikv03hLLO
Aoi: “Kaoru… ”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3nXrnb4yK
Sabrina: “I’m going to-”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgn90TjtSx
Mandalay: “Focus! You three help Tornado.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH1aj0c1kd
Sabrina: “Don’t have to tell us twice.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVvzoEJzUn
The three make their way into the other battle, while Mandalay turns to the others she brought.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx6ePeNWUw
Mandalay: “You all will help the pros here hold off or defeat Azrael.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIAQfRDxI3
Ida: “U-Understood!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2hvQuG1NC
Jiro: “N-No pressure… ”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0LVeqZIOA
Mandalay: “As for me, can someone tell me where Kota is!?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2rJ4su5ZR
Lily: ‘Thinking back, there was that kid Azrael summoned before fighting us.’
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzskkmHKudZ
Going to Mandalay, Lily pointed to where she last saw Endeavor.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhv7kkSnuy
Lily: “I-I think that’s where he is.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY17U3rdt0t
Mandalay: “Thank you. I’ll go there and-”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0LiVRZ7CT
Eyelashes: “You’re really leaving the kids here?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTO31zT8Uk
Mandalay: “Yes.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsVvckbcqf
Lily: “B-But they’re just kids.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwccbtObC2D
Mandalay: “Yes, but they are strong.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1nD86waQf
The ice begins to crack.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygG78iDTI3
Edgeshot: “Go. We’ll make sure they survive this encounter.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF8g3vVma3
Nodding, Mandalay quickly made her way to Kota. As for this group, they got into a proper formation.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEgPGZJen3
Best Jeanist: “I hope you still remember your lessons, Bakugo. This will require your best.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C2TvagVbV
The boy only growled as the ice shattered to reveal an enraged Azrael.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXktW1tEbM
Azrael: “No games, you all die now.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT3eBdyl1O
Straining his body, the angel uses a quirk that will put his heavily modified vessel at the most risk. But it is one of his strongest gifts.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSPuNYqVh0
Azrael: “Overclock.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HK2t6E8ts
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznHvRYY2az
It really didn’t take long for Tatsumaki to nearly end things. The only remaining ones were Kirishima, Mina, Kaoru, and Vlad King.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2lXoF2WlV
She would have gotten Mina or Kirishima earlier, but one would fight so hard to save the other that it was impossible.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDFnbkFX42
Tatsumaki: ‘I have to do them at the same time. Perfect… ’
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz15EcDuKr
Kaoru and Vlad King were simply difficult. Kaoru actively resisted her efforts, and Vlad King… he seemed stuck in the form.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxtRjtgv7e
No matter, she’ll keep trying.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgByjohnOUc
But things took a turn when Kaoru’s psychic scream was blocked by someone else.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwcgDRenSc
Tatsumaki: “Who-”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNr3G49TI4
Sabrina, Aoi, and Shiho: “Kaoru!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E69bBaFlO
Three psychic kids enter the battle.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uoX4kGaM0
Tatsumaki: “I have enough to deal with; get out of here!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEiQiHMQng
Aoi: “We’re trying to help.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ueVJPjEt
Tatsumaki: “I don’t need it!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT0K7Cv09d
Shiho: “You’re getting it anyway.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztNSLMXrD7
Sabrina: “We won’t leave Kaoru.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOtmJp4QSl
They say while surrounding said girl, who seems… reluctant to attack.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlPuFiAIph
Tatsumaki: ‘So some of their personalities do shine through? I thought it was just some gimmick with the other two.’
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsEZv3ppTf
Not really given a choice, and admitting deep down that the extra help would accelerate the process, Tornado turns to the last three.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6sx1kHJmO
Tatsumaki: “Fine. But make sure you can keep up.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzROPTQ7oK
Sabrina: “We can. Kadabra, I choose you! Help the Tornado of Terror save our friends!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndx3ySvZOq
The creature emerges out of the ether and flies beside Tatsumaki.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PTY035GuD
Tatsumaki: “Good. You keep Vlad King busy while I deal with those two.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVK0iAa5Bi
Plan set, the team dash toward their chosen targets, determined to save them.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZhvozRdpn
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntQ1O5QYS0
When Mandalay made it to the last battlefield, her eyes widened from the sight.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAsz3DZUmn
Mandalay: “Kota… ”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTMMQ23lS8
Behind the former villain hideout was an inferno, and in the center were Kota and Endeavor grappling like giants. Somehow, Kota was able to hold his own.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYpN5yT5Q9
But to be fair, Endeavor was obviously holding back. He’s not trying to kill the boy. Still, seeing him, even in that form, being punched in the face was enough to make her scream.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXA2qJ5hYs
Mandalay: “Stop it!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0fKlBR2l1
Both stop in their tracks to look at who interrupted their fight. The one stunned the most was Kota, mouth hanging open in shock.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fTwSRvJgS
By this point, nearly all the makeup she used to change her appearance has drained from her face. But even if it hadn’t, Kota could tell.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnCBlhQuK8
Endeavor: “What are you-”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q8XUR4JP1
Mandalay: “Leave him to me, Endeavor. He’s my nephew, and you’re needed to fight Azrael. You’re one of the only ones that can cause permanent damage to him.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw2jHlLvYz
It took a moment, but after seeing the monster child stunned, Endeavor listened and went to where he is most needed. This left Mandalay and a monstrous Kota alone within the burnt remains of a city landscape.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuO8I9c7vx
Mandalay: “Kota, honey, what happened? Why are-”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgkIj4VpeQ
The boy backs up and snarls.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzza0JWn7E
Mandalay: “Kota! It’s me! You recognize me, right?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTSF6ltO5A
She can tell he does, but he doesn’t stop growling. So many emotions swirl within those young eyes. Too many to properly name.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZunlzMFmn
But one was clear, love.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPAhPYAnvy
He still looked at her with care. That was all she needed to know.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PcleR12x0
Mandalay: “Kota, I will do what I have to for you to come home. If that means I must withstand the rage I failed to notice or heal, then so be it.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YgZe9kpVZ
Taking her own battle stance, the motherly woman prepares for the hardest fight of her life.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqYsC1Lvjm
Mandalay: “I won’t leave you side again, Kota.”
