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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UTzoB1FvR
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7acViG6fO
Clearly not.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDp3y6EjjL
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkO5BVe2D7
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GaCmT65OJ
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneUcfquLAP
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqZ11eL9C6
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqO7bPnnTt
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.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9U2ftF8zX
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeE18wmSNU
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWhDJQqQuC
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEPsCYhfIY
Todoroki: “I… see.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ12Uz37ne
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HrpgpzpYd
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIZsdCTgx0
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.’
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzLolGR5TA
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCCZMVHlvV
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5nczcxAXy
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3exXtiTD5
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86uaTd7W0S
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvk2iw30Fb
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVmmopWEMq
They can do this.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACHPZm4pph
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6eW1ybRC4
Izuku: “R-Right!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbiwTx2QmQ
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jGqmRRfZR
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzRQhzMp2u
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUud8jnpNI
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqolgQLVxr0
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdJdtTgzcg
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVYITX5E36
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWZm4QXByZ
The pain, however, was getting to him.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONVKLt9R9v
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjff3gntNxa
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcBVGn9PL3
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE0otRD8y8
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YwsuSaSNA
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFswwssWrDz
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXT0JSdXjd
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNmti4asQg
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkEWrkTAS5
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRTcGYuow
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyWgjMIWbl
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ukTdhyeEA
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRwsuB2CXc
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj1u5DGxJo
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpy2p0JQOC
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEDdAETOqD
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BuXOdMtlb
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ukJjHJB9f
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeikvNcCpDW
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxzPlvveqz
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2QtU4Z5tZ
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOa8gTEKtx
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4D9DMyqDk
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph0AV3ZIjR
Fubuki: “W-What?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNx0CH0ool
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ101hXXxkJ2
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6QTJv0pyv
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0VwwjDgaA
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TDk5xLuJm
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce4XwrbztO
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfzMhF3Auh
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA1I2y4OR3
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc70DcLiAB
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogXSo5kBbp
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDl5MQcayi
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAIEUZHlbE
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJkdzo22Wt
Todoroki: “No problem.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxON7mwThyX
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK5cjzxxhE
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52ieRp1HaT
Before the phoenix took flight.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ACtnoKEp
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU1B3CRVNX
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdPUQliWL6
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGj3Qa84mZ
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjblmPHMdO
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YI7vH7IuH
Bakugo: “Wha-”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9uj6zdcJC
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQk9AlyARE
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa624yvXUX
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yM0LzPVAb
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzlDHxBNcP
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSk7VYtO3C
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKxCSZYhWs
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr09eZqJeh
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6q7qJlRjU
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQH48yuxAP
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoezKzHHMJt
Tomura: “Not here.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9olHEkhbeD
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8qN7lUsCK
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFQ5ZrBWsv
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7YuSQYRLD
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxWiYL9ZgD
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1unfPHWCw
He needs to do more research on his family.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKqNcrKibq
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?’
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa87pq57LEF
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarbZAgWsdL
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.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA71SlCRzj
Tomura: “Agreed.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jru2bWjgv
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Px4nB5xQ
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhcKEv0CoM
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VU0bF6XZa
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjriB9VHUME
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R0LQ4umJl
Tomura: “All Might…”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMxtzo5ZM7
And he wasn’t alone.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDew5WGX8l8
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76FHXQ9cro
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDDj0I1jvf
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuyRHaDExt
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXppP5JqGlC
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ujOHjmGA6
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBttM9vktO
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKUar2RQ0R
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAoZlW1CH
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo0teg37K3
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-
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ipGBBIL9
Tomura: “A continue?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfix7NTlrcw
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DStcuSu7H
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy22rOHgQq
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1PM0jgATj
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XOocxafOM
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBqeXOp5e6
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.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF6YyivvFI
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVFph6jb4d
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEFrZE3rgj
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bp5yYe0kT
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtC385NJT9
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQGS2rwyPy
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge0dJcObmZ
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQnZHjSpFX
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoVofb772S
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOYqFzZKXq
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBVQ1bpiYs
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbkzra7jyl
All Might: “You are-”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFnfOgNX3f
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHVy9vHgbA
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82FgY8YpUo
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.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAskSzf4Na
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?
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zfzczbgsk
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoswk6NYOoV
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUhtdq7G8X
Fubuki: “What happened?”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QN5Q7XZhW
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG101FVwXk
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQGwlcXcvL
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.
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcacrOLDdX
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
