It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmnsa2TWya
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHGeWvcZch
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrknJTvUPn
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRwTMXiVsM
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d65q5p9Gy
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kjDoueGMz
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Upz2qSuOb
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPpbu6P9DH
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9dsAFrSlR
And murder those who would threaten them.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkUAtTWgSw
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5mhqrU7kO
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLgYYq9mx6
Tomura: “Nomu!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYde4PjKH3
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYTnAWZnup
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzRCuMSMxl
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJXN00DYJ
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwtzfEtP6o
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZtl9ewjby
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuQbGjwwr6
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3lrs36o6c
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgECF9ciSy
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.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjYAGpGHBB
Tomura: “…Huh?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmK9DQmrKk
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbiwgKCW1o
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF5MYWsdcZ
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWSO45F0CO
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TLtubXWbg
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87XsKiJYhs
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…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYG1tLmtHz
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvT8FtjQx5
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqhe9DbFsd
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneSEbG7eWc
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB36H54GIC
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk8Up9b2q4
Tomura: “Now what?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxpX0qXQEa
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENLSFJlqHL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aNg4mvuDf
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOcY3wnTPj
Her skin was on fire.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfETfeF9pHA
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UTAguyqEy
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDphc4naGWh
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcqplVGHn0
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya797vBP8t
Kiri: “Asui!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJIdZJWLzY
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E4MtpRJvx
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGcH3Eep6n
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cb0cbAO9x
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat9ykO6IFi
Kiri: “NOW!!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug5cAxoMPj
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqGqZjSRrK
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpsvduBWUF
Tomura: “What… are you?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32bBSzJdYm
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLalBa8lba
Kiri: “A hero.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IsOdQuefQ
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlMkVXNnrx
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8y31uHzJj
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTTczAZUdz
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AkJ4IpHNP
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS0APbFGps
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXL2S0Ipqm
Tomura: “…No.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnUAod6gqT
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW7nIB5R6P
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.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK5iWxELJn
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLutTGHb3Nj
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmbWtZrcoG
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeUIQQVlOA
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzw7Wgzaru
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBBgSEUAuK
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgHJHB4S42
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHnXQSLyk4
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9stH8TBty
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhipQseFyLX
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpDjI1jccv
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkFYFxkYPT
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lmj07GfIt
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocoKsYeEdO
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlH0Yorb0o
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcAZQ6rT0v
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKob4NofGvr
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ068e79yLmB
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpgSV6ox2d
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobgZmXuXgm
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbL18u1cae
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ1mUqEEK9
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCZLQ6jXjP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVE29ufdHs
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeftaJVBzYt
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEUbje5yHK
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYWm85lwyU
Izuku: “Kneel!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GVA1Vlc2r
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2lT274lGt
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRnoONDRgb
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hpWAK28Wl
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe1eMRX7N0
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRTuo5gQum
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzMR6TgLtF
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJKv7tv55N
Izuku: ‘Why?’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4IOWHu3N5
Another blow to its face.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6LybHz3YC
Izuku: ‘Why?’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxouUbDNxh
Another blow to its brain.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujpNUaZ0KT
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI8a07gntz
Another blow to its body.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd69ibqMCn
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwImT2VPex
Another blow to its neck.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZraxbGTDV
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDNclfRkMN
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhm4yPHbre
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOZeRJqRAq
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfWNH3OnTd
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsCwE9IatA
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wyGrFmoRl
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPWvgipf8m
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP1dy8hvhv
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWtVBjq9X3
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVVyjBNZ0G
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfAAbINNwL
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt7FCG6D9H
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIw5Dg1dF9
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3taq9LjHMb
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcJflOtC17
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM1VbiYggV
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPOqTjVSzo
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVZaol4PfM
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUBtx5WLXY
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9UGsL6ieu
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm6gCFuVJe
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRrrhHMu0u
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2gYGz7wpk
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmYHJ1mgF2
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFKAiBAScs
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMOrMXu4sq
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.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW23K5gs1k
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbT7wA4v7V
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaK6UdnpOb
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SeWN28ZxQ
He points it at the Nomu.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgurc2DBsjV
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBWg3sVzdM
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPL4zV6Qkh
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLSbKZlu7M
Izuku: “Huh?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYk9LxjKTW
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtTBiHgrX5
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wDy1w9eIv
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6bpxk3MT
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzjWu6qQV0
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs578VM6uS
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLf0L3nupJ
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qgvUrpWw3
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjD23hHBPt
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKQwJeInVM
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdj5sIqWOl
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq4NS2kKgq
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHzkyNhplm
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykjbGzmgjS
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt4P4Cc7mb
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXn2vIg9su
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ddgjl3PrT
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQBwGRNouz
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LooSFkyje
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq91Mwee8Vw
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlFJOiOxiJ
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o0WhPDWru
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKcclgyUbM
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHdW3Kre4Y
He fired.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc7kFp5gic
She crushed.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuakott1lom
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHA216hoQv
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o7QiaoWN8
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu6baT20fQ
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPpOJ3uV4A
The winner is Apotheosis.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsA1NocvQo
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1M6fuShgF
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvrin7ko8J
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpE8UaMoKW
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkpXCHfhPi
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.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iVtqmdPud
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KBBqz6t1A
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1793vMzYwq
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ORdxQ8uDS
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdbgL9eZjN
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnDj7XqtFw
His father.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw6TkcIG9w
The beatings.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvwf2Y4h8n

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!”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdeW10hCn9
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.

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.”

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.”
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5tcOp7COM
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?
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekNflabAqt
Because she knew who the true source of this power was.

Fubuki: ‘But how?’

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…’

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.
