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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbLuT8uN7k
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAZsS91gmU
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkTVrE57pK
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbHpEPY4Fj
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaSoKLyCdt
Might as well sell it. She raises her hands and has a bit of fun with it.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99Hlk4ql9
Kaoru: “Give me your energy!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsXy1zJxjc
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2bS3tvu0N
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajJmya1nQM
Seeing devastation, Valkyrie halted her rampage in time to notice Kaoru descending next to her.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdEHR2A4p4
Kaoru: “Hey! Let’s clean the rest of them up and then help the pro heroes out.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEG4DGKyvB
Sure enough, there were still some remaining creatures left. Valkyrie nods and goes to charge in. But she stopped and looked up.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD4K0bNWj9
Kaoru: “What is-”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mCeu9seOF
Up in the sky, they see Tatsumaki flying off. Thankfully, the large quirk beast was busy recovering from the beating it received.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWHhJo7TRT
Kaoru: “Where is she going!?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbbFtYpwF6
Kiri: ‘Onee is… mad.’
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2R6dAaq77
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOCWwgJ6cY
Fubuki has gotten stronger, it is true.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYD4GivxHX
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LjBPVSTjh
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJEnEYwRbc
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLffLz8V6N
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyeujx7SQV
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E9Rha8kmk
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-
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKzHMD7idj
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvcfkm1Sm7
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq3tcAs8a1
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1oJiDsHfp
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCsniN8Se0
The temperature drops considerably as she allows her psychic power to-
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBrfHf2QQz
It was as if a bomb dropped, but considering the green glow, Fubuki knew who it was.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJugz3CmTl
The creatures were turned into paste by an enraged Tatsumaki.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z5hw1d2iV
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgsD86KpQ4
Tatsumaki: “Leave.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaHQXeYhFq
Fubuki: “Huh?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM3ukYYIJt
Tatsumaki: “You’re in the way!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGCTXmAHfa
Fubuki: “What!? I’m-”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCocPICCyH
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!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjGvWJkVT5
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYanFTsJQOx
The power that was building up left her body, and she felt ready to collapse.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ3eTULx4R
Fubuki: “Big sis… am I still…?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIUkaeZUpG
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSEO0F2hHq
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc70S7mWpWA
First, it was racing here after feeling Izuku in abnormal amounts of pain.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Dab1WM2m
Second, it was being forced to let the man who nearly took her brother away escape.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWddpAZOQL
Third, it was the unexpected struggle of fighting this centipede. Even targeting internal organs wasn’t slowing it down much.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15q5NcwPJb
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBAkY6AXI2
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4XhpB4kAN
This all comes together to make one very frustrated Tatsumaki.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4jiczze4o
Tatsumaki: ‘This ends now.’
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec8i2soWNr
She rushes back to the recovering centipede, who was looking at Kiri and Akashi like snacks. Not on her watch.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcd9mCmSUW
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinoT2mHKiA
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3bNWSvqE3
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHeIJ2bXd
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAP4pH5c2q
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ow8YCGWoo
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7EXrZ36ZD
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrsdF5crZl
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P6aGmMTA6
It felt… strange to be running low. Surely, this was enough. Surely, the other heroes could handle the other one. She can rest.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulWAig6ceM
Tatsumaki: “No… never.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08mqi2yfhC
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEPNmntoMe
So she inhales a large volume of air and flies off, if a bit slower than usual.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrQDrCsyXe
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyWlSzVPxa
Endeavor has to admit, despite how much he dislikes Tornado, her power is undeniable. In some respects, it’s more impressive than All Might.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg8qzh7LKV
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRblPT3dXx
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYyKXzOLrA
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqXVbsxWVM
So it ran, slithered away from its doom.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxXPxXFN2x
Endeavor: “Don’t let it escape!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVm38FgK9G
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlklVW7vEzG
Endeavor: ‘No! We can’t let it get-’
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDOZKhogQN
A large explosion echoed in the air, and carried alongside it was a familiar word.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDxjv4uhkw
SMASH!
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrasBq4xMr
It would seem fate would mock him regardless.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1jL6qJmW1
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZtXl19Nq9
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz4k07ZhGi
Uraraka: “Midoriya! Ida! Are they… ”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3rwgsHo2K
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMA5nIE2dx
Momo: “Izuku will be fine; he just needs rest. Ida though… ”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06K2RApv8c
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWKp9XLEqp
Tokoyami: “Fiends… ”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCuFyf2H7Y
Dark Shadow: “Vengeance… ”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5RcFYetLX
Uraraka: “Who did it. Was it him?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAVhBg15vq
With a glare that Bakugo would be proud of, she looked to the still unconscious Hero Killer. Despite that, Todoroki was standing close by.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNTkPVH96K
Todoroki: “No, Ida was like that before Yaoyorozu and I arrived.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeWTDs3wXr
Momo: “I think it was the one who Izuku fought. His sister was the one who saved Izuku from him.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0RdGM5FuQ
Kirishima: “Then he’s as good as caught, right?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJjjpH3sld
Momo: “I hope so.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUTZE0BjVd
Todoroki: “We should get moving. It seems like one of the quirk beasts was defeated.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Rm9ldvBU
The group turned to see the aftermath of the fight and what Tatsumaki did to the creature.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaBLUGXJAW
Uraraka: “Scary… ”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74XkVGGz1p
Todoroki: “Their whole family is.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywWXWdlwki
Kirishima: “Haha… yeah. Speaking of, where is Tae?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYtanwf5o6
Momo: “Don’t worry, she’s safe. She can handle herself.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OCMANMJTO
Kirishima: “Heh, you’re probably right. I hope the pros can get everyone together. That way I can stop worrying.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5cI7LGnYf
Uraraka: “Me too. I hope Emory and that child is alright.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DIh0RQOFU
Todoroki: “Everyone, we need to move. Now!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaEKAeCjD2
Hearing the urgency in the boy’s voice, the group turns to see what has gotten Todoroki worried.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfxjw8HFKq
It was the last centipede, damaged though it may be, running towards them.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyOaJrXjUT
Kirishima: “Seriously!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYElHMfiEKR
And it was fast.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0LDaH0zD7
Izuku wasn’t awake and couldn’t lift everyone.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkbMmdUZms
Momo: “Uraraka! Can you-”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor7AnwjMeZ
Uraraka: “I… don’t have the strength to get everyone out.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAm1kE72TH
Momo: “T-Then jetpacks! I’ll make one for everyone!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefPVJG0y5g
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGn4ptiOe5
Not wanting to get permission, the two run towards the oncoming death train.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc1SM192qW
Momo: “Todoroki! Tokoyami!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKcnwdUcte
Kirishima: “Damn it!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbppqY4vUf
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…
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r3Wrs9Uls
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEmg3mO6Ti
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SYwv86CuP
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXEadnuJil
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYFEePPXoj
Todoroki supercharges his ice, enough to create a glacier to dwarf the one made in the tournament.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmNXZkyDCp
Within moment, all will be-
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoySJ77ojr4
All Might: “Well done, young ones!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFJD14kPz2
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxk78GeqUU
Why?
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuIMDC94J0
All Might: “Because I am here!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXiYEGvuB2
The number one hero appears before them with a fist reared back.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgljjv6bb9
All Might: “Detroit… SMAAAAAASH!!!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GaFRw7UvN
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLfifsYoQU
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowFX0y9O2X
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsawGkCJII5
But only All Might knows that even this is not his best.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f7zzq6Ms8
All Might: ‘I could have made it here faster if I was at my prime… ’
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF85aa4ZnD5
Regardless, the battle was now over. The crisis resolved with one punch.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH6GWNZnyO
Todoroki: “All Might… ”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxm4CfQql1
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.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOjMo2NIgS
Todoroki: “Right.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLopSFMePq
Tokoyami: “Thank you, All Might.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdlTs3K4xP
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxcYAtuyjc
Meanwhile, Momo breathes a sigh of relief. But deep down, she wonders how much this will lessen All Might’s time as a hero.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf56DfXYiA
But for now, it was over. Now all that remains is the aftermath.
