All For One will win; he always wins. That wouldn’t change just because Blizzard and All Might head his way.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnohnPY4y25
This fact was held in utter confidence by Azrael. Victory was assured with Sensei around. So it didn’t matter if Azrael played with his food a bit.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfohEkdGHYI
Well, playing was a bit much. He was fighting two of the top five strongest heroes.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt14i3vtqP
Their skill was on full display in this 5v1, and yet Azrael was more than holding his own.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfMQJXrirV
A transformed Mountain Ape slams the ground Azrael was just on. Still in the midst of dodging, an opening was made for Edgeshot to appear behind him, sword at the ready.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1VPAdaFBO
But thanks to his fight with Izuku before, he was ready. But the color that erupted from his prize wasn’t green but dark purple, curtsy of Theo’s reverse engineering. Lightsaber met polished steel, the result being obvious.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouJ8rBN1Fw
Edgeshot evaded the laser follow-up and allowed the rest to fill in his space in the battle. Trying once more, Best Jeanist uses his quirk to bind Azrael’s body.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKf2OXVory
Even if it’s for a second, this gives the four melee fighters a chance to close in from all directions. But Azrael holds his breath and shoots up using the Jet quirk.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvqD8sn4hC
Before most of those below can react, Azrael summons four purple dragons from his back. Free from the binding, he unleashes magenta lasers onto his foes.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYdAp4pjoE
Best Jeanist pulls Mountain Ape and Lily out of the way. Eyelashes and Edgeshot got out of the way by themselves. But that didn’t stop the lasers; they focus and follow Best Jeanist and those he aided, forcing Mountain Ape to tank the blast.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLpKZe4Wfs
Before his skin starts to boil, Edgeshot uses his quirk to turn himself into razor-sharp cloth aimed at Azrael’s head. It won’t be lethal, but it will knock him out.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWyaOt7fyz
Or it would have if Azrael didn’t strike them both with lightning. Azrael takes it no problem, but Edgeshot is forced to the ground, body smoking.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmMOEyuhxT
Azrael: ‘He won’t be out for long.’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmrV93X4aA
Without turning, he slashes to the side with the lightsaber, an attack Eyelashes barely dodged. But he didn’t dodge one of the purple dragons, which flung him into a building with its massive bulk.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOukYZAs1w2
Despite this, as soon as Azrael touched the ground, the man was on him again. This time, his quirk was activated. The hair on his brow enlarged into something more feral, while his eyes became wide and blue.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z4Wd0zMvI
Faster than normal, Eyelashes engages Azrael in a lightning-quick melee. His eyes never leave his enemy as he dances with death with every lightsaber swing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzBjmEs9zg
Azrael: “Your eyelashes become really pronounced when you use Focus Fringe, almost distracting.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa6Qm0daBc
But he is no common criminal that would be distracted by the strange look and intense gaze. He evades the clever attempt at a finger hook, using it as a chance to lunge. But it doesn’t land; nothing does when Eyelashes is like this.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QFaf2AmH5
But as proven by the falling hair from his brow, this won’t last long. Best Jeanist uses his quirk to wrap around Azrael, finally tripping him up.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfZSh5lng2
Eyelashes & Edgeshot: ‘Now!’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyQbcVLqyJ
From the front and back, Azrael is cornered. The purple dragons emerge from his back against Edgeshot, but he easily dodges them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkjzM496D1
Eyelashes evades the next lightsaber swing and aims his weapon at Azrael’s face. Before long, both gambits land.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaagmE9aBID
Azrael’s head is blown back from the fierce uppercut by Eyelashes’ curved batons while Edgeshot stabs his flattened hand into Azrael’s brain, cutting off blood flow. That instant was enough for Edgeshot to take the lightsaber from Azrael.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBPO6Gnhuh
Taking no chances, Best Jeanist fully wraps Azrael in denim cloth and tightens it. The result was a living wrapped mummy.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d5IHdUvKu
Lily: “Is it… over?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupg4nlq1yA
She says while leaning over the still smoldering Mountain Ape.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0zziM1uoU
Azrael: “Of course not.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5UqVfOqwx
Black lightning surges out from the mummy, burning the cloth trapping it, and revealing a barely damaged man.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1YnkHFtRU
Azrael: “All that and barely a scratch. Even Midoriya managed to do more damage to me. But I suppose you all don’t have quirks suited for the job. Oh wait, doesn’t that mean you should wait for someone who does?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8A9kYzKwu
Edgeshot: “And just let you cause further damage? No, we won’t do that.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQls8ib3TzI
Azrael: “It hasn’t stopped you all before, I’m sure. Passing off the responsibility to someone else you think is more qualified.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOhcKkubDd
Tired of his words and actions, Lily gets up and points her staff at him.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtCIEupcl2
Lily: “Shut up! You are nothing but a deranged villain who enjoys hurting people! You’re just trying to trick us into letting our guard down.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X9cdMLwz8
His eyes narrow and twitch.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIu1wGSJwK
Azrael: “Is that what you think?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQbEqTqguW
Lily: “Yes! And we’re going to bring you down, because that’s what heroes do!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKboSV61Pp4
That did it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWETTwGMiE
Azrael: “HEROES!!?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzid5UvCtPA
An explosion of black lightning erupts from his body, electrifying all within the city street. But the lightning didn’t burn; no, it revealed something more.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6gM28rAFG
Azrael: “How dare you call yourself that. When you know nothing!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRHhXBtl8P
Coursing through the lightning were memories transmitted as electric signals to the brains. It told of a story, one that was spun 70 years ago when quirks weren’t broadly accepted.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCk4ST6kQ7
There was a scientist who presented his theory and warning to the government. It came in two forms.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKzwtDQClN
First, the quirk transference for social equity. No more quirkless, no more random distribution of power, no more destructive quirks that only cause harm. Everyone would have a fair share and more peaceful lives.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8LzglZwvZ
The second was the Singularity Theory. The end result of the quirk mutation. It was suggested that quirks would grow stronger over time, eventually reaching a point of such power and complexity that they would be uncontrollable. The end of us all.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuAEBIzpLL
However, what the government and Public Safety Commission at the time did was belittle his ideas, even banishing him from his career and society.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKoLOssJXc
But in truth, they just wanted control! They ripped him off his project and began working on his first theory. Not to help others, but to create living weapons. But they weren’t as brilliant as the scientist, so the procedure became nothing more than a Russian roulette.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjARYJKsNdE
The same applies to the second theory.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD64Lx2mdCK
The Singularity wasn’t something to delay or prevent, but something to control. The ultimate tool of domination.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuNvo0VidI
And what is the result of that hubris?
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7gPH9XrO1
More images appear: a faceless woman sitting across from a faceless man in a cafe. She makes a deal to transfer her quirk to her son, one who was so desperate to be a hero, to fulfill his one and only dream.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAXhw6ED8R
But after being rejected by his idol, ridiculed by his peers, and chastised by the public for actions not so different from Izuku’s, he was ready to give up.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCz94NLjl6
The mother was desperate and so made a deal, one that caused the devil to smile.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Oz5fUXC6a
The result of the procedure was obvious.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBMh3BeAC6
Azrael: “IT FAILED!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZrGnfaOZC
The dream shatters, and only blood remains.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiTz0KJRcD
Azrael: “They didn’t care to help the boy; they just needed a consensual specimen to test on!! The doctor and sensei tried their best to save her, but it was too late!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1xRZcbmF8
The boy who was forced to become a man trembles as the ground shakes in tune with his growing fury.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qQWgCNTuI
Azrael: “You are no heroes! What you protect is nothing more than a disgusting, rotten society!! What you do is just throw your fist at those you condemn as villains!! And you dare question why we do what we do!! How else will anything change!!? You won’t fight the government, the corrupt Public Safety Commission, or the pretenders who are worse than us.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREodyBGXet
Tears start to form.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn84i5c0u7
Azrael: “You say you want to protect and save people. But you won’t and didn’t save Tomura, Theo, Toga, Spinner, Twice, Dabi, Compress, Mustard, Magne, Kota, or my mother!! You won’t save those who fell through the cracks or were born different!! Do we not matter!? Does my mother, Nozomi Akirame, not matter! ANSWER ME! YOU FAKE HEROES!!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWyUb6PBqr
The angel’s spirit trembles, the sky bellows, and the world looks into the watery eyes of one who is broken.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOKPSF9bNT
And only one truly understands.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ32GzI5Xr
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJbbtUy1hN
Tatsumaki was too busy with the delicate chaos to fully block the black lightning. So she also witnesses the past of Azrael.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNbf9UDdFV
To her growing unease, the woman found she could relate to and understand the villain.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98kJBMvzER
She was used in experiments by her father, no less. She too could have gone down that same road if her mother and sister were gone.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzs092EKzs
No.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN3lV9qYzu
She would have become something far worse. Having her family is the only thing keeping her sane.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a8ik0Iouq
So if they were taken from her like that, then the whole world would pay for it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qdKMIkCeJ
Tatsumaki: ‘I understand… ’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVHfPEorbT
Which makes it all the more important that she needs to get this done. Tornado wasn’t blind to her brother’s pain; she felt it all.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIdBWDVR3S
If she didn’t trust her sister and All Might, she may have just abandoned these kids. Still…
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g6Jr5ttwG
Tatsumaki: ‘What’s taking them so long!?’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzHFOcnzGh
Ignoring the large explosion that signaled the continuation of the other battle, Tatsumaki focused further on the task at hand. A task made so much harder with the corrupted Kaoru interfering with her own psychic power.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwwqpD3qKC
Twirling out of the way of a psychic blast, Tatsumaki flung her away and blocked a wave of purple acid from Mina.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUGY9p8TP4
Tatsumaki: ‘I almost got it… please… hold on… Izu.’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOFnaCG2mr
Dodging above the large explosion of hardened blood from Vlad King.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwgDNQJfUm
Redirecting Sero’s tape to tangle with Ibara’s hair.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpCvGrFA9H
Forcing Setsuna to not break apart using her quirk.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllP28VfwJV
Containing Kaminari’s near-constant outbursts of lightning that threaten everyone.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjQNFWtyRs
This and more is what Tatsumaki has to deal with, leaving little time to focus on the main goal.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B13TUkGuo
But this is the Tornado of Terror they’re dealing with. Every second counts, and eventually she knew how to separate the human from the nomu. At least for one of them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnG6FUbgz1
Blocking another psychic scream from Kaoru, Tatsumaki grabs Pony and goes high into the sky. Before Kaoru can awkwardly follow her, the woman does her job.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfYI1JLipP
Ignoring the barrage of horns pelting her shield, the hero does mental surgery. Within moments, a naked Pony is ripped from the nomu ooze.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9sX4Jikj5
Tatsumaki: “Yes!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAegAI1Ymd
Quickly, she protects her and Pony from Kaoru before slapping the annoying girl back to the Earth. After that, she keeps Pony in a powerful barrier before going back down.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUznVAJL62
Each of them won’t be the exact same, but now it won’t take so long. And once she’s done here, a building-sized present will be waiting for whoever hurt her brother.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQXaL4aGVo
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4B4oKIltr
Lily should have kept her mouth shut. After learning more about Azrael, she couldn’t help but feel for the guy.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOTs5IdG3E
But that sentiment is doing nothing for her right now. Clearly, he was just having fun with them before.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq7afAad3x
Edgeshot and Eyelashes were down but still conscious. Best Jeanist was still in the fight, but only barely.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfATE8u5XGI
Mountain Ape has become a stress ball at this point. And her?
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuxuOBMHiI
Backhanded and slapped aside like she didn’t matter. Clearly on purpose. Whenever she tried to help, she was cast aside.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMXHL9qyHh
Crawling out of her third pile of rubble, she comes out to the sight of Mountain Ape getting beaten half to death. Azrael’s attacks don’t care he’s blocking, and he overpowers any restraining attempt by Best Jeanist.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3rMvYfCl7
Frustration and rage build as she watches the display, causing the white flower on her head to start to bloom.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbol7jrFNs
Eyelashes: “NO! Calm down, Lily!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYwrFm1l9Q
Snapping out of it, she wills the flower to close. Unless she wants everyone here to die horribly, she better calm down. So she takes a breath and prepares to charge again with her staff.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzDzxRHT4i
But then-
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMqyrlbzsH
Bakugo: “DIE!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeMKY1XM7d
A human rocket collides with Azrael’s back, taking his attention away from the bloody Mountain Ape.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a89aLdxjQ
Azrael: “Mor-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteRiCHxHfv
A large glacier explodes to life and freezes Azrael in place, at least for now.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ohOVCEkg
Mandalay: “Is everyone alright!?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpge3Z7TRA
From the side come reinforcements, one pro and several students. Seeing this, and the fact that Azrael was trapped for now, the other pros regrouped and took a breath.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXODnnH0M0n
All except for Mountain Ape, who needed Sabrina to carry him with her quirk. But she nearly fails when she sees the kidnapped students fighting Tatsumaki.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PXRp2GOxS
Shiho: “No… ”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fzjb2iQBF
Aoi: “Kaoru… ”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV8NhsiYH5
Sabrina: “I’m going to-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjB4A0Fvha
Mandalay: “Focus! You three help Tornado.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9uE8fgAOz
Sabrina: “Don’t have to tell us twice.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O0KbAjVCO
The three make their way into the other battle, while Mandalay turns to the others she brought.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jd0FePSdh
Mandalay: “You all will help the pros here hold off or defeat Azrael.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur4JPCxU2a
Ida: “U-Understood!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNNfovwCIe
Jiro: “N-No pressure… ”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcolobb8gY
Mandalay: “As for me, can someone tell me where Kota is!?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtLaPilUck
Lily: ‘Thinking back, there was that kid Azrael summoned before fighting us.’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR6NCoEohA
Going to Mandalay, Lily pointed to where she last saw Endeavor.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGqtaYwmY6
Lily: “I-I think that’s where he is.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW62CmEak38
Mandalay: “Thank you. I’ll go there and-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq13AGHN6TU
Eyelashes: “You’re really leaving the kids here?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QOA8C2cgr
Mandalay: “Yes.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWBCyrCdTx
Lily: “B-But they’re just kids.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX8WnXZrYH
Mandalay: “Yes, but they are strong.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWjpNlFjYD
The ice begins to crack.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZI94S9O74
Edgeshot: “Go. We’ll make sure they survive this encounter.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf1kGCK7Wl
Nodding, Mandalay quickly made her way to Kota. As for this group, they got into a proper formation.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBotyvSPjl6
Best Jeanist: “I hope you still remember your lessons, Bakugo. This will require your best.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfuY8cnB2Q
The boy only growled as the ice shattered to reveal an enraged Azrael.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHWitsEQ9h
Azrael: “No games, you all die now.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLZ17skGW7
Straining his body, the angel uses a quirk that will put his heavily modified vessel at the most risk. But it is one of his strongest gifts.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB9yEefiTB
Azrael: “Overclock.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFgmJXi8ab
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnH1m6npRU
It really didn’t take long for Tatsumaki to nearly end things. The only remaining ones were Kirishima, Mina, Kaoru, and Vlad King.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPRPz7Zrsh
She would have gotten Mina or Kirishima earlier, but one would fight so hard to save the other that it was impossible.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4M3okqRvT
Tatsumaki: ‘I have to do them at the same time. Perfect… ’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRei0iVxMFM
Kaoru and Vlad King were simply difficult. Kaoru actively resisted her efforts, and Vlad King… he seemed stuck in the form.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTfRaL9EIf
No matter, she’ll keep trying.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4exEBIr0bA
But things took a turn when Kaoru’s psychic scream was blocked by someone else.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIT1k3k8vd
Tatsumaki: “Who-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqHfaHGyjD
Sabrina, Aoi, and Shiho: “Kaoru!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunyLCuQteM
Three psychic kids enter the battle.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8PwQeLaAb
Tatsumaki: “I have enough to deal with; get out of here!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJob6xZF9kg
Aoi: “We’re trying to help.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweQDWyQQgV
Tatsumaki: “I don’t need it!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapLCZTWRoV
Shiho: “You’re getting it anyway.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHF15dxIbp
Sabrina: “We won’t leave Kaoru.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JTGd2nngI
They say while surrounding said girl, who seems… reluctant to attack.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWzORJluIe
Tatsumaki: ‘So some of their personalities do shine through? I thought it was just some gimmick with the other two.’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDqNX2Wrp0
Not really given a choice, and admitting deep down that the extra help would accelerate the process, Tornado turns to the last three.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp2SajkBNw
Tatsumaki: “Fine. But make sure you can keep up.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX0KrUDb5y
Sabrina: “We can. Kadabra, I choose you! Help the Tornado of Terror save our friends!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAjRSGhbKd
The creature emerges out of the ether and flies beside Tatsumaki.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaAtk9fTed
Tatsumaki: “Good. You keep Vlad King busy while I deal with those two.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQDc1Gej3Y
Plan set, the team dash toward their chosen targets, determined to save them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtnKrg7Wxz
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8EMCMfGjq
When Mandalay made it to the last battlefield, her eyes widened from the sight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT203GPDJP
Mandalay: “Kota… ”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfr6boppNq
Behind the former villain hideout was an inferno, and in the center were Kota and Endeavor grappling like giants. Somehow, Kota was able to hold his own.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ABwQmimx
But to be fair, Endeavor was obviously holding back. He’s not trying to kill the boy. Still, seeing him, even in that form, being punched in the face was enough to make her scream.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTzbtzg3o5
Mandalay: “Stop it!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAieZ6pwKXP
Both stop in their tracks to look at who interrupted their fight. The one stunned the most was Kota, mouth hanging open in shock.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhpiu337aN
By this point, nearly all the makeup she used to change her appearance has drained from her face. But even if it hadn’t, Kota could tell.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT6DwvOkZ6
Endeavor: “What are you-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0nG3yA6hF
Mandalay: “Leave him to me, Endeavor. He’s my nephew, and you’re needed to fight Azrael. You’re one of the only ones that can cause permanent damage to him.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuwTS2Gztq
It took a moment, but after seeing the monster child stunned, Endeavor listened and went to where he is most needed. This left Mandalay and a monstrous Kota alone within the burnt remains of a city landscape.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ9utMFt1a
Mandalay: “Kota, honey, what happened? Why are-”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNsu8qljKi
The boy backs up and snarls.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYClhh8w5JH
Mandalay: “Kota! It’s me! You recognize me, right?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwrfPEtdxo
She can tell he does, but he doesn’t stop growling. So many emotions swirl within those young eyes. Too many to properly name.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1cG7a3wZ
But one was clear, love.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49VlefUyaa
He still looked at her with care. That was all she needed to know.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFGPyeHoXx
Mandalay: “Kota, I will do what I have to for you to come home. If that means I must withstand the rage I failed to notice or heal, then so be it.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM6yjr407y
Taking her own battle stance, the motherly woman prepares for the hardest fight of her life.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BLNUE2LOu
Mandalay: “I won’t leave you side again, Kota.”
