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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLIwYISMAs
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xjsf9iZMV
Clearly not.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PO52trJq0
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgH7uKgolo
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO7avUcsDN
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?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGVcVbszkY
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwHvmFtPtk
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8p5rhWavh
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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU63DxtwrCm
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g0aqs2sMe
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkeexwjuqd
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStWHwEb7Xw
Todoroki: “I… see.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcjsG7LMrh
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcWojXSD2T
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDAR64SGOy
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.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5EiuO2RbO
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqB4by58bV
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiQWT7RQTs
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWIZsVyFox
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQrlfdjQkG
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCxiXgd99O
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHpGK4OXPc
They can do this.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgeo1PjKwc
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YKQNJvFzK
Izuku: “R-Right!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0im1uJuPp
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU3snf9guR
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKznjBcCIc
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnLRKQHMR6
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPlknQM9Kk
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuf8Cvf2Hm
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIL9NMUh2k
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB1eNeXVux
The pain, however, was getting to him.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxml4IFNY1W
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKY8afyTdO
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxKAR0eBup
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5JI4Abhm0
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vj9I9shfG
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIp5jToDJt
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ8bhPXDVI
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavHWV2EaeR
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9nUa184uV
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvS86FSDei
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD613pThDT
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW8fnlRG7i
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk0J5VRO45
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDUFLVexee
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV3qhSB7oD
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3pLF5qU1B
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LTT6QwTJU
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmG1dw3hd0
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1yqy9ZBrb
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOytC5RNC4
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbaEaMqAex
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iwilXnedq
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUXaT0K3r2
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUkAJhPK1M
Fubuki: “W-What?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbWEznBgBj
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRq68a2ksT
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAzFNZIEI9
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ko8jevE8
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy694KxD84b
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZHAVRoHPb
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiDAZMjTwN
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwpvwW4bvo
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U3yhewqf3
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXGVDjK2l6
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqLuTLhVYl
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGSnogquIH
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k3wZuGv7A
Todoroki: “No problem.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec6AIjjPP0
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYE3YcPSwu
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5inpYd40yQ
Before the phoenix took flight.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyPhofwCDr
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO4flIJvtC
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8SxNZCIX5
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILpQXwyWto
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1YxdiGXvc
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiotThooXk
Bakugo: “Wha-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7m6WDmM2K
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPns2unUy71
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsKw7siB0n
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBxK63Bk97
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IE2bE5n4h
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAqrGRxBK2
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyekXZRq6A5
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymNflpQgHc
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHogStH2v7q
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjKaROPSJl
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNznlizNi9
Tomura: “Not here.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI6tpzNKtM
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZ473gKk1
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoXBsCA240
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5mbHJcVFr
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgEeavgMvc
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?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcM4Td4e8P
He needs to do more research on his family.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZm1gQ5Jxi
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?’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudry6zhEwK
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ugkkGwQZ0
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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP7Pgav3D4
Tomura: “Agreed.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oIGmbWvE8
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qmVItyCHF
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDD118tzUr
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIPdnSyjMh
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM705cJS19
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kDEHcSsRF
Tomura: “All Might…”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezTlCSf8Cr
And he wasn’t alone.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3avxsdsfI
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ3ced7UOk
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex4gmoWQ7O
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3oSfRKfWr
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOx4lIJy4G
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QPJPd7oTR
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVrHDDbnCQ
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaIHGNevz0
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV682Ibss4
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2h3BXjCgf
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-
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEONn5wiJZS
Tomura: “A continue?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3k2poVvqJ
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLK9FpGha3
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuHUj5vzEG
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazJnucww4p
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ufNfDd8at
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZyRrQtWgY
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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Wy7VPkiP
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujyN85rnkb
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f6diZ9gDp
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN6PFNk0Gy
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZVEVs8qUy
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyTrIz28GY
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3R55R9i78
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuxy5oVJLR
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBqhBDq1X0
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHgWCSgA50
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9DuXlrv6Z
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pnHmxVFTD
All Might: “You are-”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJYxUqXd3w
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZKS9kVMaA
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BxubY35gy
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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vRunsQKWe
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?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfSKNi8Pe2
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoshfu1XBf
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2K6QvsooU
Fubuki: “What happened?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjrlLkt5R2
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFzduB7pRG
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuciVTpqaG
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiLBEiWocR
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
