Todoroki thought he was the strongest in the class. It made sense due to his quirk and who his father was. But never before has anyone been so humbled.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yEmTkJq6l
It’s a miracle he survived the collateral damage of that climactic fight. He was going to go to the main plaza, but hearing the commotion, he changed his mind. Maybe someone needed his help.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6kXBouRx6
Clearly not.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ke4p1uC7
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEbbxWckSY
But he could tell that it wasn’t Izuku’s normal state. His normal state was the one he was dragging through the broken city. Whatever caused his massive power increase, they can’t rely on it now.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9vMziI2iV
Especially if it’s anything like his fiery half. Todoroki can completely understand why Izuku might not want to use it. But then, what’s the solution?
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9vCNh6nq7
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ieXLd3qw
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXYA4ugKTR
Todoroki: “We can’t keep running forever, and I won’t ask you to use a power you don’t want to. But we need something. Think.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2l0MUVTDE
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZZQfGb13h
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TcClrdYq7
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUTtPWkcWp
Todoroki: “I… see.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlsR7kYN69
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndWPxvHbWm
The boy can still remember the sensation of how to control his destructive fire. If he can replicate that, AND ONLY THAT, then he can win. Because capture is not possible.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t4IOhdKqr
Izuku: ‘It’s fine. He’s not human, practically a quirk beast. I’m not a villain. I’m not a monster. I’m doing this to survive, not because I like it.’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvTYNekg6c
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzjXClNC3i
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIe8Y5bTQv
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZIvJwgwQE
Todoroki pushes Izuku away as he dodges the Nomu ground smash. Debris is flung everywhere but the two boys are only scratched a bit. Todoroki retaliates by freezing the Nomu once more.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5962BdK5Dz
The creature can break and heal from the damage the ice causes, but not the damage from before. The severity of the wounds Izuku inflicted before refuses to heal.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLjU0a5Xdc
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzrCXdGKSo
They can do this.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3UIxPLVyc
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV7uJOvsNS
Izuku: “R-Right!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvnO8gXq2z
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz82S1RLvK3
He digs deep, reaching for his psychic power and his flames. Like before, the primordial flame erupted into existence. But due to Izuku’s weakened state and the psychic disruptor, it only covered his arms and didn’t hurt as much.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ZvWSExux
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSYqIWdA0h
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvOEjGpslm
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3csUKAjbl
He focused all of his will on forcing the flame to obey him, to focus on his hands. It was working, slowly. From his elbow to his wrists. The skin previously burnt was healing due to the softer flames.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxngbPVirMv
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJltLqI260
The pain, however, was getting to him.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBeTIo1zhi
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg4PjzVs40
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94jTaDYfSj
He couldn’t open his eyes to see Todoroki overtaxing his ice to keep the Nomu back. He couldn’t open them to see his hands falling apart. It would only distract him and show him just how hopeless this is.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQwAWrIWsr
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPIb2Xic0s
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yd8He5xr3
Suddenly, he felt a cool warmth wrap around him. The flames cool ever so slightly, and his control over it is better. But that was drowned out by his sister’s awful screams.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeYCGS60Kt
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ37Fmb1GE
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq56d1mxJ9
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYZwaP2VKV
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGADlksdWA
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLD7Nwv5QI
And so the prince commands and the flame obeys. The flames become cool to Fubuki, as signified by her grunts of pain being replaced by a sigh of relief.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJVIKIjngA
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ck5Xvvaz
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuhAdie06X
Izuku opens his eyes with a green flash to see a nearly free Nomu standing a few feet away, hand reaching out for them. Now or never, the name of this biblical attack appears in their minds.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNEDDJISg
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoaylDHwXk
With the screech of a phoenix, the flame is let loose to bring hell to the royal family’s enemy. The phoenix made manifest swallows the Nomu and consumes it in the roar of an inferno.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm46GgwVT5
The creature’s screams of pain are quickly snuffed out. All that’s left is a melted sludge, a mix of the Nomu and the metal beneath him.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej28mFlwaB
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjLYDxPKwU
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdf9ZikMmX
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseGvF227g8
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7DmDBbQqK
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HujtqGLoR
Fubuki: “W-What?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEE3gtNSSq
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1rSRCmg8J
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowyPFb07uS
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3kq2zedW7
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHUSd2Oxmo
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXGUcMkx6b
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSkHh7PzVB
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUR982BCOy
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWXPw1cxUv
Suddenly, the buzzing stopped, and Fubuki felt like a weight had been lifted. The flickers of fire on Izuku’s wounds burst into a constant flame.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eBdPqZSPg
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgrcppHl43
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWW1KKGMBx
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTbi2Dd3Ap
Todoroki: “No problem.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3uqVQXhVE
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BfriwPEZN
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdtUglYigz
Before the phoenix took flight.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSQlItc30R
Apotheosis couldn’t help but grumble as he got closer to the central plaza. He failed to kill Fubuki, and now he knows his psychic disruptor is still far from perfect.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarKRKqVn8
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojMfX0khQk
He wasn’t. Apotheosis arrives on the scene to see Kurogiri captured and Tomura being pressured by a student with red hair. Worse still, the rest of the goons have been defeated by the teacher and a frog girl.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquty87oIb7
At least they did enough damage to have them out of the fight for a moment. A moment is all Apotheosis needs to turn this around. He dashed into the fray and shot a blast at the one who captured Kurogiri.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMIAKrYJ5O
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxZ9YyqWSO
Bakugo: “Wha-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5qKByMkET
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXsPLSwNyk
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrCr2K5704
The boy didn’t question it, he quickly backed away just as Kurogiri and Apotheosis joined Tomura. The frog girl then quickly got the unconscious girl further away from the villains.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvXYDCPLIn
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9IrRHYkpu
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaIMPJLWTe
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I9kiGdSMQ
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Y2uHghbv
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkPVVdbdlZ
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCwEmpl3Aj
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQde5JDceDo
Tomura: “Not here.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqjzkg918s
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgLWvbLEJk
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmwkg6vk0u
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuoraHZsLy
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz48pXFoFqB
Apotheosis could already tell who has delayed, or somehow, defeated Nomu. If Fubuki could surprise him, why not Izuku? But Nomu!? How on earth could he survive that? Was he really the quirk level he picked up?
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb31GUTbzrg
He needs to do more research on his family.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnlQxlRiEU
Apotheosis: ‘I might have focused too much on Tatsumaki. The other two are just as crazy. What’s next? Is their mother secretly powerful as well?’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcSPz8VF1C
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6UqHxa33j
Apotheosis: “Don’t I know it? Well, assuming Nomu somehow lost, I suggest we kill these heroes in retaliation and get out of here. We’re not leaving here with nothing.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC5ZYOT9Nf
Tomura: “Agreed.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqCCXFb29t
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvFnechO5m
Seeing the villains finally turn to the heroes, Aizawa dragged his body forward and prepared to defend his students. The two groups stare each other down, ready for the final clash.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoyBiRTTyK
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEku21z5q
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vEeVmM58i
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5OgvXbE96
Tomura: “All Might…”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q88azLrpn
And he wasn’t alone.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiPtXTepF5
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YM6s7pGLA
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy8oKhWGYM
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXXAwOLhgA
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HbuvvE1VL
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROi296eNEz
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAc48dqj92
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm2zo2WE2Y
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXg0XVLid2
Apotheosis gets in front of Tomura and aims his power glove at All Might. He’s also ready with the trap foam if needed. But before All Might gets too close, something strange happens.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMiagLumf0
Sickly mud bursts into existence between the villains and All Might. A gloved hand emerges out of the muddy portal, and the reactions are telling. The heroes are confused while the villains-
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz5kzNgn9P
Tomura: “A continue?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaIOgULElR
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYbgNGiiYT
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1nZZzIIG3
The reason for the change of atmosphere stepped out of the mud portal like this was a normal occurrence. He had a clean business suit, messy black hair, and eyes darker than the misty abyss.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuplzUSZBu5
It was those eyes that really sent chills down everyone’s spines. It was so… empty and cold. His affiliations were also quite clear. He had a face mask similar to Apotheosis. But unlike his, this one was black with straight lines instead of hexagons.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSLKcTpK74
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ivS58lviJ
Apotheosis: “Now that you’re back from your little trip, maybe we can win. At the very least, we should be able to take down some of these so-called heroes.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZgTrDv1Xo
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U7LwZAacf
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpx1hgfNrG
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rm84t8Pxv
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zecVUt6MR
Surprisingly, the dead eyes of the newcomer turned to Tomura and Apotheosis and smiled. Unlike the eyes he’ll show to everyone else, these were… warm. But it was only for a second.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuh2Jhzulb
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkvZmw1cVX
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUlREIzWgI
No one tried to stop them from leaving; how could they? All Might was still stunned by who was before him while everyone else wasn’t suicidal.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxSx8YfTWm
There was something about this man that screamed danger. Only All Might or Tatsumaki could possibly approach him; anyone else would be annihilated. Even Bakugo was slightly shaking in fear.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr35xRRsk3Q
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2irk9ojnh8
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63aKOaUrL5
All Might: “You are-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9l3Oj6xVT
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iyGJZK3vg
He looks into the distance and closes his eyes. He feels the young flame that intrigues and frustrates him along with the cool snow. Soon after, he hears the faint sound of the wind. It was time to go.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzBPg8p2f5
Azrael: “Seeing that you’re too stunned to fight, I’ll take my leave. Savor the peace you have now, for this was just the beginning.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTbo5nfpSB
With that, the man melted into mud, and silence returned to the plaza. What could be said after what just happened? Dirty past? Our Symbol of Peace?
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzLw5MmBGi
But the face All Might was making was no lie; he knew that man. The time for questions was over; however, the heroes needed to regroup and recover.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYupEUW4ZE
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JCsOVYpOX
Fubuki: “What happened?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPfiZo9tZF
Everyone turned to see Todoroki helping Fubuki, who’s helping an unconscious Izuku to the central plaza. Green flames were still licking the wounds on his arms and hands.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZDgRK7lAb
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I6vyew4wv
Above them all, the usually explosive Tornado was floating down from the glass ceiling. Her expression was cool and calm, but everyone knew she was holding the fury in for now.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZFENXiczc
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
