It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ICdhdtPSw
Izuku wasn’t registering the villain's words, all that consumed him was the sight of his little sister being strangled to death by this monster.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUWNfngiH2
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxc1IcsmkD
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsqLE7NGqg
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OeMl8twKp
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeavs0GZzyn
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRgEZvrqKt
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmDEaLJtth
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtOUM5xGEr
And murder those who would threaten them.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPadqBQnwt
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoAJpoxrR1
Two locks of his hair raised up like demonic flaming horns. But unlike before, these remained as he lifted his hand to end his enemies.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakH8bjcdVa
Tomura: “Nomu!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZl0fpP4Lm
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIOeJ4l5Cc
Thankfully for him, Nomu quickly launched a heavy blow against Izuku. Prioritizing defense, Izuku brought up his shield just in time. Still, the blow was enough to send him flying.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbPdMHb6ri
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqgKPDEMJr
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfiy5LeE93
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBC7duUhL1
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7NQbrxOxH
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyY2EiQk2j
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NVbGd1AXQ
Kurogiri: “I have incapacitated her; however, I’m afraid the students whom I could not scatter impeded me. And she was therefore able to escape with her life.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNABjoGbTl6
Tomura: “…Huh?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc72Xc6fwL
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNTKuz1H6A
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ8pCwB7EK
Tomura: “And if one of those brats left to get help, we’ll lose. Especially if Tornado comes here. It’s game over… for now. Get our strategist, and we’ll hop back.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjybgAMgHmO
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZRkqRPGew
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9QdeLEZxV
Tomura smiles as he turns to the still-shocked Tsuyu. Not only was the scene before bad enough to nearly make her hyperventilate, but then what happened Izuku…
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZS60l8Qzl
She has the abilities of a frog and also their instincts, the instincts of an animal. What she felt from Izuku was like being next to an apex predator. No… something far more primal and ancient than that.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLjpHo0q82
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllU9yCdfyv
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eyLS9NgC1
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfRomoEZPh
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmQBGPpbIU
Tomura: “Now what?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfjP9WIwzm
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHewll1qBx
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30TUK5OcVP
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1wByBNaVu
Her skin was on fire.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AfrhNVW4N
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pXlV0peVz
Something was wrong, and it was affecting her. The desire to rip and tear every living thing around, to offer their broken bodies to her green sun, was filling her mind. She could even feel her body morphing into something more monstrous.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRv3W5KxSZ
But she knew this wasn’t her and certainly not her brother, right? Regardless, she fought it down and got up. She won’t let these villains hurt her classmates.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCHtQIEmAr
She didn’t notice their faces painted by fear of what she looked like now. It didn’t matter; she had a job to do.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fgnCo1hwz
Kiri: “Asui!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFfAIYsEcj
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BW3byNaxX
Finally snapping out of her terror-induced stupor, Tsuyu looks at Kiri. Or more like in her general direction; she couldn’t stand to look at her.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2xrL2e6Ty
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1MGaQmSaz
Tsuyu hesitated for a few seconds, wondering if she could even help him. But whether she wants to or not, it isn’t her choice to make.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtOGIo8ZVn
Kiri: “NOW!!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVDvcKLENA
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH4Uwnridl
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMZKXYJgyG
Tomura: “What… are you?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbGkSJFU7M
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCnr2xpKiI
Kiri: “A hero.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18sMncPVH
She bursts into action with a fist ready to deliver a near-fatal blow to the leader. But this snapped the two villains out of it.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqelVh0TNdE
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HthiVhGGW
Kiri suddenly feels her blow get redirected to her face. An explosion of green smoke erupts from the impact, but she growls it off. She won’t let this stop her, so Kiri dashes to the left and then forwards to Tomura.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1RRS2jF5D
Unable to keep up, Kurogiri was not able to create another gate in time. So that allowed Kiri to deliver a vile uppercut to Shigaraki. If he didn’t dodge at the last moment, he wouldn’t have a head. But the wind pressure of the attack did knock the severed hand off his face.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhJ6U1SQHQ
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFJUJbTqqE
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsSXnjZkpw
Tomura: “…No.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Qj6vkB18
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ838IxZBqof
Tomura: “I want to strangle our strategist for giving us such a poor game guide. But… even I have to admit he couldn’t have predicted this.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72x0aQUdCg
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M7PU4lCkp
He had to cut his words short as Kurogiri quickly transported himself and Tomura a few feet away. All to dodge an incoming green and white meteorite.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpYEhru6xJ
Its impact was heavy enough to cause a small crater and mushroom cloud of green smoke. Out of that smoke emerged an even more monstrous Kiri.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgw8i30DGS
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHnJk1Y6SG
She grabs her hand, trying to keep this fury under control. But her vision starts to blur as her mind is consumed with only one thing.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1v9EXRjGv
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37FD69Imf5
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLt5UgyCOf
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIN5MbAZWK
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeHrhx9evP
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnR72Ay32D
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIp3QmDVXm
The explosive boy was not grinning like a madman. Yeah, he was happy to finally get a chance to deal with that misty bastard, but this was too serious of a situation.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEHOSIHaPl
So he worked fast. He sent an explosion into the mist, quickly working out where the main body was and grabbing it. Then he slammed it into the ground, hand ready to end it if need be.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuPcDf3WBd
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcRdqM39OT
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDXDaDhPuu
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WjEQRhYty
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtnAY5zmz9
She couldn’t hold it back anymore, her hand reached out for Kirishima. To outsiders, it would seem like she was going to caress his face, but in reality, her hand sought his neck.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8frRCFXSW
But luckily, for whatever reason, her form suddenly reverted to normal. The abrupt change in states was too much; Kiri’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cudcdzDHI
It was only due to a miracle that her form didn’t dissipate and return to Izuku’s mind. Or maybe… it was too much of a hazard to return to right now.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVk5Gnntsf
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYJ2ZAJCtZ
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLcuMQ7Ouj
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr4r7OKxm3
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fYivSDvkH
After the blow landed by the Nomu, he was sent flying over the sea and landed in the city zone. The black creature arrives shortly after and tries to deliver a fatal blow from above.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR3VM3Pcwm
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBcjDEYPdu
Izuku: “Kneel!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ4JrPox6r
It does so, like a good mindless monster. Izuku creates a Psi-Sword, not out of his tie, but out of thin air. It crackles with white lightening and emerald flames born from screaming stars.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNVnnNRBCN
The Nomu breaks out the telekinetic control in time to avoid a beheading, but not enough to avoid a slash across the chest. Good thing too, it can easily heal that.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nUHsD2qGO
The moment of shock from Izuku was enough for the creature to deliver a ground-shaking blow to the boy’s head. But instead of an exploding head as expected, its attack was stopped by a pinpoint-accurate shield.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfhrNCnTym
Then the impossible happened; the Nomu was punched in the face. Normally, due to its shock absorption quirk, it wouldn’t feel much. But this punch was heavy and filled with something more than pure strength.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tnh9SETA4
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiFSAXpxMJ
Nomu attempted to get back up but was kicked back into the ground by Izuku. He teleported above the creature and dive-kicked into its chest.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWVDfaD5tr
Unleashing all of his built-up fury and hate, Izuku delivered blow after blow into the embedded Nomu. All the while, a question was beating inside his head.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDNdW6bknx
Izuku: ‘Why?’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLcThDJZAN
Another blow to its face.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0uGvFqMgP
Izuku: ‘Why?’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd4goV65fT
Another blow to its brain.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HuKqdY0IY
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ8KngOXGT
Another blow to its body.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXoP2PrJrj
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHSb3OiF23
Another blow to its neck.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI4vmTdCLm
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IUFnhxZFW
That’s when Izuku could feel a sickening smile creep onto his face. Seeing this, Nomu grabs Izuku’s cape and slams him into the ground next to him.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3enolCeRaI
Capitalizing, Nomu gets up and starts hammering Izuku into the ground. But it amounts to nothing but a stream of fire from Izuku’s maw engulfing Nomu’s face. That moment of sudden pain gave the mysterious boy the chance to cut off the legs of the creature.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rgFL4RL51
Nomu falls back while his legs begin to heal, but not fast enough. Izuku sends a powerful wave of psychic force that propels Nomu back into the streets.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18aFmsHBt5
Flying after him, Izuku collapses the nearby buildings and flings the debris into the recovering Nomu. The creature punches the assault away or tanks it, which only excites Izuku further.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gEw8xxEif
Continuing his charge while continuing to destroy the city around him. The coming clash, the smell of battle and carnage. It was too much; Izuku gave in to the infernal sensation.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HtSKySpMn
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs4AOfoHT7
He crackles like a madman as the two monsters clash in a flurry of blows. Some of the esper’s darkest impulses are brought to bear. No longer is he concerned with killing the Nomu, not yet anyway; he wants to make it suffer. He wants to drink deep the fear he can sense growing in the mindless creature.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFmlA2xhNY
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq37yBZrQi
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl8h2h1fSF
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD3VOGLoak
The Nomu is a mindless artificial human; it shouldn’t feel or think anything. But for some reason, it does. There’s something in those eyes; no, there is more than one thing in there.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ocXEtDnQ
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7s0BIRMWZ
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPpaOgNHAh
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BhCktOFnA
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEwZNGgxvU
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnpmH65YyC
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47fh6xKEeL
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxeoS5O6J4
He uses another force blast to send the Nomu flying back and then shapes his sword into a curved design. Taking a strange stance, Izuku begins to swing the sword in elegant arcs.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOijD4HnaU
Each swing sends a spear of energy into the body of the Nomu. When a few dozen of these green lances graced that scared body, Izuku ends the dance.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtfahZVApL
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUDb05ZowY
A green fiery explosion erupts from the body of the Nomu. It was enough to blow off its left arm and severely damage its chest and legs. But that wasn’t the real problem, no.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGK3tJakhX
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8KwSao1DH
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxfnF7phbs
Izuku smirks, admiring his work while walking towards the whimpering beast. Every step burnt the ground beneath his feet, causing smoke to follow him wherever he walked.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo48Ml1CJh
Izuku: “I think I finally understand why Bakugo bullied me. It’s… fun. Having this power over you feels… euphoric. Especially since I know you deserve it. I wonder how it will feel when I pay back Bakugo for everything he has done to us. I can hardly wait.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRoZImClGO
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE6OFZHVYJ
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hcSyPd1sE
Izuku condensed his Psi Sword into a fine point within his palm. After a moment, the energy in his palm started to look like several small green stars.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJP86vYwgl
He points it at the Nomu.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLARWAZXxC
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a3CLUIGdx
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7FIYDLEeL
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5yzWeovkt
Izuku: “Huh?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHokZpbnj77
Then he begins coughing heavily, splashing spots of blood onto his palm. The flaming horns recede, and the power he once held disappears. Izuku drops to his knees in pain, his whole body alight with agony.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sBby48BWv
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsspL41SjUC
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTFFtZDwYH
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiwgzwWpMK
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXjfz3m0Ix
How could something like that be a hero? A true hero isn’t supposed to revel in rage and bloodshed like that. They’re not supposed to be excited at the idea of killing or revenge.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DuweY9vYj
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLV3BkFlPo
This inner turmoil wasn’t lost on the Nomu. The fear that consumed him slowly eroded. This was its chance. Carefully, it got up and approached the kneeling boy.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b7BYHgct4
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklxJopbFTb
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYrjU9cnvP
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UQRWipgXo
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYmws8cnB3
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWul6llkNXk
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbFOuaGbPo
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFhFsbn75
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz7Pn3tsbp
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpT98F8EJx
They were in quite a stalemate. Fubuki was quick enough to dodge most of his attacks, and Apotheosis was smart enough to not give her any ground.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMCRM0UoRI
But this couldn’t go on forever. Fubuki was getting tired, and Apotheosis was running out of power cells. So, they both decided to end this with one final charge.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqHnC6uZrR
Apotheosis pops in the last of his power cells and increases his shields to one hundred percent. He doesn’t think it will help, but on the off chance, it might stop her telekinesis.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyzywXczZK
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBvNaTviNH
Within moments, the deciding second arrived. Fubuki strained her eyes to find where the shield generator was but came up empty. Within that instant, she made the hard choice to just crush everything around his waist.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAl9rfFAjB
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKGoR68CuX
He fired.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmhnlCoITF
She crushed.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqJJ85Orc
He screamed in pain as he felt his body armor being crushed into his skin. The sound of broken ribs echoed in his ears; the pain was enough to miss the shoot. But not by much.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI1WJ19VoK
Fubuki screamed in pain as she felt the skin on her shoulder burn away due to the energy beam. But more than that, the force was enough to dislocate it and send her flying back.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlgbv84gUo
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE47VIf9BQ
Exhausted, Fubuki grabbed her shoulder and tried to get back up from the awkward fall. But the pain was breaking her focus and therefore her power.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Rp3ZSd9S
The winner is Apotheosis.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDWOuIgVBo
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJn3Wqn8En
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsUjwGFXn4
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQVSJnXAXb
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1qZuYyW1S
Apotheosis: “Nice try sister, but I guess I’m just better than you. Don’t worry though; know that I will take good care of our brother and that bitch you call a sister.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQPkwVnvBq
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGKGsoV6Gy
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnTswFCJA8
Her hair whips up, and her eyes flare blue as the ground beneath them breaks apart. Instinctually, Fubuki sends psychic waves right into the mind of Apotheosis.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYSbubTebP
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph2rXtAz6g
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxhYT4MAbP
His father.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5aUzuKy5I

Apotheosis: “Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!”

Granting his wish, Fubuki raises and uses a two-handed psychic blast to send him tumbling into some fallen trees. But she wasn’t done, she rose into the air and unleashed her signature attack.

The ground rumbles, and the cold air listens.

Fubuki: “Hell Storm!”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lFUAPjjr7
Instantly, a large tornado formed around Apotheosis. Dragging in rock, dirt, and even the fallen trees into this death trap. His screams of anguish were drowned out by the roars of the wind.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tVGrKN8Uh
A few seconds later, the tornado dissipates as Fubuki descends back to the ground. She stands tall, ready to continue the fight and defeat this blight on her family.

As for Apotheosis, he emerges from the smoke still standing but severely damaged. His clothes were in tatters, his precious armor cracked, and even his face mask was destroyed. If his shield wasn’t destroyed before, it was now.

Apotheosis: “You… you’ll pay for making me relive that.”

But before the battle could continue, they both froze. Something has happened, but they both came to different conclusions.

Apotheosis: “There’s only one person that could have a quirk level over a hundred. Damn it, I need to get to Tomura. We’ll settle this later.”
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIRJVvHzkg
Apotheosis runs off to not only get more data from All Might but to save Tomura if he needs it. Lord knows, that out of the three of them, he gets into more trouble.

And if Fubuki tried anything, he still has his Trap Foam. Fortunately, Fubuki let him go.

Why?
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qEr04ONhT
Because she knew who the true source of this power was.

Fubuki: ‘But how?’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIP1RMHRZt
Even with the Psychic Disruptor still on, she can sense Izuku’s power. But it was all wrong; it was twisted and dark. Nothing like what it should be.

Her brother’s psychic signature was warm and inviting. This was anything but. However, it was still clearly her brother, and he needed her help.

Fubuki: ‘Izu…’
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE8t79DYJ4
So she pops her shoulder back in place with her quirk, runs to wherever he might be, and prays she’ll make it in time.

There are a lot of references in this chapter. If you noticed them, great, but don’t mention it in the comments. It’s not blatant enough to warrant me having to say which fanfics (or more so other verses) I’m adapting yet.

I want to keep it a secret for now. So don’t ruin the surprise. But by all means, give your thoughts in a vague way.
