After Kaoru left Lily and the other injured heroes far away from the battle, ready to be taken into medical, she flew back into the battle.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9fo2hRID1
Screw the fact she didn’t have a license to use her quirk; this was an emergency! As she edged close to where Valkyrie was, she saw Tatsumaki slowly tearing apart one centipede while three strong pros were dealing with the other one.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bhhn8LO9m
That left her to help the number one vigilante and cull the smaller centipedes. When she arrived at the scene, the sight nearly made her empty her stomach.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyIGh86iX2
Valkyrie was truly a machine. She didn’t stop, she didn’t breath, and she didn’t show mercy. All quirk beasts that got close to her were torn asunder. Some even seemed scared of her.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PEXUa3uYU
But if they thought they could run back into the hole they crawled out from, they’ll have another coming. The esper gathered several pieces of rubble above her head, quickly creating a giant ball.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb95WC4kEcB
Might as well sell it. She raises her hands and has a bit of fun with it.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKlxpBcr9Y
Kaoru: “Give me your energy!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomladUVAxa
As if in response, the rubble ball started to glow reddish pink. When it reached a sufficient size, enough to light up the night a bit, she threw it at the hole.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDq9k0qPoa
A second later, a bright explosion rang out within the black of night. The nearby centipedes were blown apart while the hole was closed by the rubble.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYuAT8bqFz
Seeing devastation, Valkyrie halted her rampage in time to notice Kaoru descending next to her.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQazyilp2sj
Kaoru: “Hey! Let’s clean the rest of them up and then help the pro heroes out.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaizB53H4O
Sure enough, there were still some remaining creatures left. Valkyrie nods and goes to charge in. But she stopped and looked up.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrtFZjdkzc
Kaoru: “What is-”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SwD9ENsAl
Up in the sky, they see Tatsumaki flying off. Thankfully, the large quirk beast was busy recovering from the beating it received.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmopbh9748r
Kaoru: “Where is she going!?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZ9pxxktp
Kiri: ‘Onee is… mad.’
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHaUi5HdlJ
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmT09H1OHm
Fubuki has gotten stronger, it is true.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcMVWv9Jao
She conducts her empowered needles through the quirk beasts, producing several fatal holes. When that wasn’t enough, she used them like claws and tore them apart, always at a distance.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD4G4N2lYr
But this was also the first time she had used these abilities in a long fight. And like against her brother before, her stamina is the problem.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8QmTG7CwC
The swarm is shrinking, but that doesn’t lessen their aggression. As proven by the several cuts and bruises she has received. But she refuses to let something like that stop her.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFBKfw8Gt9
She won’t embarrass herself in front of her big sister or little brother. She’ll prove that her training wasn’t in vain, that she can stand on her own.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96K2Vz7bCL
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5giGbhKoul
Blood trickles down her nose as she commands the horde to stop long enough for her to use the needles as a moving storm front. The hazardous blade bites into their flesh, turning the blue tornado re-
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmfhfavXva
A rumbling in the ground and a sharp pain in her side. One tunneled underground and pierced her stomach. Even still, she fights on. Cold air escapes her mouth as she forms a fist. Instantly, the ground around the centipede condenses and cuts the creature in half.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkOeBSOIfB
Grunting, Fubuki then rips its top half off and throws it at the beasts that survived her razor tornado. However, the wound received didn’t magically heal.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpef943LqSW
She falls to her knees while holding her gaping wound. Using her quirk, she is able to keep the blood from leaking, but she is unable to close the wound. She has not learn how to heal like her brother yet.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltbs4iWAhZ
Despite the situation and the oncoming centipedes, she doesn’t feel fear. Instead, she feels strangely… calm. Victory seems assured as she places her hand forward.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtktN1UeR9
The temperature drops considerably as she allows her psychic power to-
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9r3DpF918
It was as if a bomb dropped, but considering the green glow, Fubuki knew who it was.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgBXYDVykX
The creatures were turned into paste by an enraged Tatsumaki.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL94MMgjB0N
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZWhsxvpEk
Tatsumaki: “Leave.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUGxevEKvm
Fubuki: “Huh?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dW2wewBVQ
Tatsumaki: “You’re in the way!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc080V5p6ne
Fubuki: “What!? I’m-”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6jEkqo4TJ
Tatsumaki: “What are you doing here!? Focus on evacuating if you can’t handle it, or better yet, you should have stayed with our brother. Where it’s safe!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iSCWgTwAl
The eldest didn’t wait for a response; the battle wasn’t off, and there were more idiots that needed saving. So she took off, leaving Fubuki suddenly exhausted.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNO2RVpCeb
The power that was building up left her body, and she felt ready to collapse.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlfccoLk9r
Fubuki: “Big sis… am I still…?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu7Exz2QLe
There was no time to dwell on her possible failure. Her sister was right; she should reunite with Izuku. So she drags her body to where she thinks Izuku might be, making sure to keep her senses open for him.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIvzmVlRnc
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB3PBgJ9bv
First, it was racing here after feeling Izuku in abnormal amounts of pain.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOC7joa5pu
Second, it was being forced to let the man who nearly took her brother away escape.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYHqkEhfc7
Third, it was the unexpected struggle of fighting this centipede. Even targeting internal organs wasn’t slowing it down much.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1O383ri1T
Fourth, it was seeing Kiri fighting the smaller centipedes instead of staying close to Izuku. If she were with him, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvbMwjDEVa
Finally, it was seeing Fubuki once again putting herself in danger when she didn’t have to. She should have evacuated or stayed with Izuku. But now, she decided to fight a bunch of bugs. She’s clearly not ready to fight alone, unfortunately.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyrRib2VQa
This all comes together to make one very frustrated Tatsumaki.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW75QDSZetq
Tatsumaki: ‘This ends now.’
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlcws7aWTa
She rushes back to the recovering centipede, who was looking at Kiri and Akashi like snacks. Not on her watch.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JIFZBiGoe
To their apparent surprise, Tatsumaki flings them far away with a simple hand wave. They are unneeded and will only get hurt if they keep fighting.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnOw5XvxRc
Free of all distractions and worries, Tatsumaki holds both hands out towards the charging centipede. Just like that, it stops, frozen in a green glow.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ErgYLTLt
Channeling all her anger and frustration, she senses the entire length of the creature. From the head all the way to its tail deep underground.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0woXw1l02
Then, with enough force to make her forehead bulge with veins, she pulls. The ground quakes as the entire centipede is lifted high into the air.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8zazNw9XD
It bellows in distress as Tatsumaki slowly and painfully starts crushing it. Organs turn to paste, carapace shatters, and its bones are reduced to powder.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRhVPk9235
Blood rains from the sky, but not a drop fell to the earth. It collected around the shrinking creature, creating a small red planetoid. Those who viewed this were left in awe, for the sight displayed just how much power Tatsumaki had in her.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO2npHf4zX
When the screams stopped and the red blood moon was the size of a building, Tatsumaki put on the finishing touches. Using the surrounding flames, she evaporated the blood and burned the remains until only ash remained. At last, she let it all fall.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPie9PMyx9v
Task done, she descended to a destroyed building and fell to her knees. She may not have gotten damaged, but this was the first time anything ever forced her to use so much power.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXlIt57KJ9
It felt… strange to be running low. Surely, this was enough. Surely, the other heroes could handle the other one. She can rest.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaIJk9TkbV
Tatsumaki: “No… never.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWVTDcE0Pw
Even if that’s the case, she can’t rest on the job now. Must always be ready. Must always be her family’s unbreakable and undefeated pillar. And someone like that doesn’t rest when others are fighting.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1XMdmvW6c
So she inhales a large volume of air and flies off, if a bit slower than usual.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8iw7I0I6y
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS6r1Cga81
Endeavor has to admit, despite how much he dislikes Tornado, her power is undeniable. In some respects, it’s more impressive than All Might.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEH9FNk9PR
And because of that, he can’t fall behind. He has been fighting this centipede almost as long as Tornado, and he too was close to finishing it.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvi40RN81i
Its body was charred, and thanks to some help from Edgeshot and Gunhead, its many sharp legs have been cut off. Blood oozed everywhere and it was slowing down. One more blow to the head should kill it or knock it out.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxvpaX0KBa
However, like many things, events didn’t go as planned. The creature seemed to mourn the death of its kin, but didn’t have the strength to enact vengeance. Not today anyway.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44X1nBJn2V
So it ran, slithered away from its doom.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm78OuFEJA
Endeavor: “Don’t let it escape!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocl4ELTMkC
Gunhead was too slow and couldn’t keep up. Endeavor threw flaming spears and balls at it, but they only hit the back of it. Edgeshot was faster but couldn’t do much damage while its belly was to the ground.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jANRyMcGH
Endeavor: ‘No! We can’t let it get-’
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7lFZM5wi
A large explosion echoed in the air, and carried alongside it was a familiar word.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFcwK7c7Uj
SMASH!
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgQxkBpqyv
It would seem fate would mock him regardless.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaoBQM8Ujg
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvWhoTY74x
Thanks to Tokoyami, the trio reunited with their classmates and friends. Despite the darkness of the night and harrowing situation, they all smiled at the reunion. Even if some things were worrying.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNqljQpRfO
Uraraka: “Midoriya! Ida! Are they… ”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouGkPZLFah
Momo has been at work while Tokoyami’s group was arriving. For Ida, Momo made bandages and painkillers. For Izuku, she made a bed with wheels.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSPyU1fmuW
Momo: “Izuku will be fine; he just needs rest. Ida though… ”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn74FCvLKuI
He was also asleep on a mobile bed; the pain and stress of the situation were too much for the young man. The bliss of sleep was his only escape from the reality of his state.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WMKotrQ4Q
Tokoyami: “Fiends… ”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7USxo6qWNj
Dark Shadow: “Vengeance… ”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ17eudCQQ
Uraraka: “Who did it. Was it him?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX4EeHG5WQ
With a glare that Bakugo would be proud of, she looked to the still unconscious Hero Killer. Despite that, Todoroki was standing close by.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV6iaML2hf
Todoroki: “No, Ida was like that before Yaoyorozu and I arrived.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOFrhoCfyX
Momo: “I think it was the one who Izuku fought. His sister was the one who saved Izuku from him.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhFVWmdihZ
Kirishima: “Then he’s as good as caught, right?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTkhpDr67G
Momo: “I hope so.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9gLb6b5m4
Todoroki: “We should get moving. It seems like one of the quirk beasts was defeated.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8flsUEPsVo
The group turned to see the aftermath of the fight and what Tatsumaki did to the creature.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFdjm9ly28
Uraraka: “Scary… ”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyEhPduCyP
Todoroki: “Their whole family is.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4eeifZHxV
Kirishima: “Haha… yeah. Speaking of, where is Tae?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNiszFnNs7
Momo: “Don’t worry, she’s safe. She can handle herself.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH1dVdL7Dp
Kirishima: “Heh, you’re probably right. I hope the pros can get everyone together. That way I can stop worrying.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof0xfFzYZO
Uraraka: “Me too. I hope Emory and that child is alright.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8eWo5ymjq
Todoroki: “Everyone, we need to move. Now!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BKoxDZNea
Hearing the urgency in the boy’s voice, the group turns to see what has gotten Todoroki worried.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUsuYEQU5A
It was the last centipede, damaged though it may be, running towards them.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfIuxwb7yt
Kirishima: “Seriously!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu6faewsY2
And it was fast.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjgk5TZr4K
Izuku wasn’t awake and couldn’t lift everyone.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sc5SUO7g6
Momo: “Uraraka! Can you-”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL1Vs5uACz
Uraraka: “I… don’t have the strength to get everyone out.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPZJ8WL2s6
Momo: “T-Then jetpacks! I’ll make one for everyone!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ujcUkfDbO
But she won’t have time to make one for everyone. Seeing this, Tokoyami and Todoroki look at each other. They are the only two with the strength to maybe give them time.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbKwqK5Yb8
Not wanting to get permission, the two run towards the oncoming death train.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa7rHS0Ygg
Momo: “Todoroki! Tokoyami!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojQaNRzFOG
Kirishima: “Damn it!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F7m6szD1Q
She knows. Damn everything, she knows and understands what they are doing. Dark Shadow at full power and a glacier could buy enough time to get everyone else out. But…
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVNdtAvvC9
The stakes are too high to second-guess, she must act now! The back of her costume explodes to reveal a jetpack. Using her bare arms, she quickly makes another. She needs three. Hopefully, Uraraka is strong enough to carry Ida while Kirishima carries Stain.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9CsCipMZI
The two brave boys stare down death with much fear, for this is the role of a hero. To be the wall between the innocent and the tidal wave of evil.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwYzfrquzH
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Wyt6pkZJ
The living shadow roars as it increases in size, nearly fully consuming Tokoyami, but the boy holds onto his sense of self. They are not fully in sync, but for this, it’s enough.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpPWgEZZoE
Todoroki supercharges his ice, enough to create a glacier to dwarf the one made in the tournament.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7nl8RtLdr
Within moment, all will be-
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MwJDjIrbw
All Might: “Well done, young ones!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5CpdoRTDc
That voice… it was enough to fill the two boys with hope. Even Dark Shadow calmed down from it. For it will all be alright now.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKWASX2t6v
Why?
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qu5m8eH5M
All Might: “Because I am here!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89rAEmrX8F
The number one hero appears before them with a fist reared back.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpBmyqI0Fg
All Might: “Detroit… SMAAAAAASH!!!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLJyg1lQbZ
His fist collides with the face of the centipede, stopping it in its tacks. At first, nothing happens. No air or explosion. But then glowing white cracks started to form on the face of the creature.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4mL5I3vcL
Before long the cracks spread thoughout its entire body. Then all at once, wind pressure exploded from within. The creature was blown back as it slowly disintegrated into nothing.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozZL6IfQBV
This was All Might not holding. For most enemies, he is not allowed to actually kill them. But that’s not the case for quirk beasts. Even Tatsumaki can’t destroy them so completely when compared to an All Might going all out.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNWSAhXhna
But only All Might knows that even this is not his best.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt6H50VNlf
All Might: ‘I could have made it here faster if I was at my prime… ’
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYiJ72hPRL
Regardless, the battle was now over. The crisis resolved with one punch.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfYwTRNLh5
Todoroki: “All Might… ”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWz2HdpNKZ
All Might: “The battle is over, but now it’s time to rebuild, young Todoroki. You two, take care of your friends while we deal with everything else.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPftHR2xb6
Todoroki: “Right.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsge4UZgq3
Tokoyami: “Thank you, All Might.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZYh8qTimt
He gives a nod before jumping further into the city to regroup with the remaining pro heroes. They need to salvage this situation quickly and prepare for the inevitable lynching from the press.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yJEvvvZYa
Meanwhile, Momo breathes a sigh of relief. But deep down, she wonders how much this will lessen All Might’s time as a hero.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeTWRTE44O
But for now, it was over. Now all that remains is the aftermath.
