It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW8j8wRo2n
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a700rTgG8
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmciFjuuzI
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYR0lr1Gu5
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaRg7yUzbC
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Sg41tcnm
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaZbXjYoYz
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWygZe6aOn
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXoPkVRDh9
And murder those who would threaten them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF52pMpWeP
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacF4IYZsfy
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLHWHAkniO
Tomura: “Nomu!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8I7VblMlk
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbsYrTBzdP
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ316lQv06v
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLhVCrUCT9
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMvw6KMTDH
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5cdhS7aYd
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJneJ5ydrmi
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6H7noum24
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiFcJX2dk4
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.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO0wQn9Xqk
Tomura: “…Huh?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ysBhyKS5
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDFPO9lIBR
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef3EH2wcC7
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEevP9xvLr
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDIsUMFgdy
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeF3RQs0Ji
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…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EfqUbUcoU
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ljIjIm53W
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6prhGfBRW
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWOwsn0aIv
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBmIYbuQtE
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU0JRxTjnk
Tomura: “Now what?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2F2qTargX
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Elb39Kwzl
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMEPT0IGZc
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsbwHSP50a
Her skin was on fire.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC0qcN1hRa
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMoWpB55UH
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gzdAhiTYB
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYgRsnlO31
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCRu31tvFF
Kiri: “Asui!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5rZmNM39d
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsCIUhK1HM
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5HYy5Q8tM
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnFXNKvvr3
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYTAJl1Lod
Kiri: “NOW!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z3LuEqHBg
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39t0O8Hdl9
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtzCMznG45
Tomura: “What… are you?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAvQEUQgk6
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviIMMXvwLl
Kiri: “A hero.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4jVGCLv1p
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTIUpceCa6
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCGhiGa417
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcODSkoWMwq
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdWQ1nqLZi
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvdEuvILry
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A0i7XoZkA
Tomura: “…No.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmyGOSpd8A
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NhldR53IR
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.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMfDgtFdc4
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3lnA0YwDu
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5dlG6ntrd
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt74cuoAbla
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXEeH5SaY0
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXss7p6smRR
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrtkUzP3XD
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycD9lI6eZG
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtMiBevZ6v
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNts3OXwXaK
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojeNV4kS1l
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw04OawOVw2
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCj8PL7OdA
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQwZrCQ70X
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nsVcrjQF3
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl9QUwfBrd
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ExFxBUX4m
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj05qncfd5
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3H3Palrav
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pJlnNOOWX
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHPDJXHRgg
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbdUDNHUBY
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZLrARkhKM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWutKIhyUQs
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdk1KRr3n3
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jKCIKSbRM
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcQC2FV9V9
Izuku: “Kneel!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCnCfk9af3
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWor0dBhKS
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqzejjwr75
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTep26QChWf
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU3mQkF3w2
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rZfRs5O9D
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAY9sLlfWS
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSjRiIasl
Izuku: ‘Why?’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgXavsOEev
Another blow to its face.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdi8AOIP6S
Izuku: ‘Why?’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xLLhQkpzx
Another blow to its brain.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLNYZmJRsv
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO80n9iBGE
Another blow to its body.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gLhSHIGwv
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf8vhNHD1R
Another blow to its neck.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsvtOqOTQw
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TqotOjC51
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6levYkQK2
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJl4ZokoND
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCQwFszWob
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN1ORnypw0
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaIArEuX67
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEnKJchN2V
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa79IyCmYeO
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sgLum6aco
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMjLNAmxIb
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFmYWc6547
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9okVhlOlPB
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RgLI3zsWG
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbxdFcshpl
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJe3gbb6Bz
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w1jBnW2NR
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL08qixSUxS
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IpVaT0g4p
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGhHhxDmiw
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZeTRCmOpu
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2UFiF1ukj
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1775MExXAH
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVExzYXBK3
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE65ijoMQa7
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWvrTVW3pq
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs450nG0N68
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.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ545jNFlQKL
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU4yQxJF1d
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUVLlSM0rJ
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY1OA5Bzdi
He points it at the Nomu.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2S2c0fhqA
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKuuArXrHK
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mdhkfpazf
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgGSoxxB8F
Izuku: “Huh?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP50Y4BIEL
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfK9SzEgdb
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek0sQo0CUO
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDDhhH2kNy
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozic2qTW0
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z5307KLjk
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaHcezRUUL
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfyVyRypQo
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWYxsOPzaJ
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0z2BgY1dR
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylvHkrueus
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SlI8PvoDO
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFMq8g1tBk
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKEhBPNv2A
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VWrO3rEoc
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJErdOtAUDN
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Glt3wb8Oc
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsr1XIpUlc
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG03l51nSD
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniy3EXFc3r
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R75l7hwFS
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXHR6uZa7Q
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU961BB34q
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wggGTs9nV
He fired.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwqM7WbePy
She crushed.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uoNqQ7VAk
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8PnlRUrSL
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWChnfAIvf
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ51lxSFUe
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw7wVp17ny
The winner is Apotheosis.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbIO3TlItj
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviKSu4VQHD
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskkS7xCPEs
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7hg89w4sH
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCoyRdNnVT
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.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZVsdcFwxJ
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt6yvue8Ud
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp4ErfdPTk
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPmkJlifYv
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbv8WtBIzp
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTRcrJ7Dbd
His father.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2qZLxehz5
The beatings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOU2KuoW2V
The weakness.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJtSKCvgB
The rejection
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcsYgUobZx
The cell.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXfxaV89wV
The failures.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNXx6dZaY1
His mother…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTpcZGLizQ
Apotheosis: “Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzo8q4sxhc
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Md0KSU2Zh
The ground rumbles, and the cold air listens.

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: “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.”

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.

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.
