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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbuqHjcksa
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrzgXdjGAc
Clearly not.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzgVd7Bdqw
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJH2rNQZ74
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacHjr1dsmz
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?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VoirX7AhE
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsQvy1g85P
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oEzMhsbiz
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmfbcdclYi
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz8H8iIMcp
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAW4pdM4ML
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHs0NwByv3
Todoroki: “I… see.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kPdbhvJ5L
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7IQOJHNUh
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmtBTChS2C
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.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9chaXx7un7
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgCgbAzXOM
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVmtntGiDk
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmFYit5LsA
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyzDD0xsDp
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVl8Se37iL
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzEFukbbER
They can do this.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUG6VcvdlW
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPLdbSQZvn
Izuku: “R-Right!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3n3WzUIgb
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHJu3a9rQF
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eonez8gu9
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKRAGOGO3X
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtLgYCRgAO
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCAeSZwLvv
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogAuP0gfsN
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38pcBawCBo
The pain, however, was getting to him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoYSri8he7
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXLYzOdXzG
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFDiq50rTP
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJJaIkaJTT
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEBoBaoqNy
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyITZqhPguk
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDcAwaMqoy
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vDKmgBbxg
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXe6LOgug5
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX1Uga4KE2
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuKvofxzJY
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tNszGCLbf
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsKpuYBrtl
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvcLywdBRC
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjtpAVwLJC
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov5RCyTUNl
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlwTCLvEXc
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa2opYrght
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGVMszIRUo
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVW585QEsT
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczNsSSHbmA
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbuLZtD75n
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPqwNUUgLC
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzgF5Yezgx
Fubuki: “W-What?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bn9hV37ph
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdQ67KnDSY
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2nJBtIWSk
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk6ePawGo2
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHc7oQtFPK
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVwHXGfVLh
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Foms7knk
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtEsHqWGzO
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDkOePLKF0
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLzkqMgYNB
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6AsflrUwM
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUMCdYIkJa
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4e7JCuM9d
Todoroki: “No problem.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qKryAFsWk
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFg2YKtAtb
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sA8PbHD6I
Before the phoenix took flight.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZScqGBdYIs
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbGoVbAfhH
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjazzC9ojI
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G94LzrNgG
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKgwh84ip2
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYLFm5FZ3K
Bakugo: “Wha-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzd7J1vB20
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwawsU47loz
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKhKcUz3mo
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocuVLpD0wW
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j9HdFJ3As
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OseqicKRf
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwydXLg1rlV
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DioZU9Cyk
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCGIqfi2aW
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kIDvQ9Pma
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRLfD9NuqE
Tomura: “Not here.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bxR3wyVOZ
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVAVbtGllK
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJbQRxnc8r
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6b5rKSPp9
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa4xonjud3
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?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusk2W7fcqx
He needs to do more research on his family.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV13nm2ih0
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?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6fdwRFBy5
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpzX3U9rYU
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpScsJgh3vn
Tomura: “Agreed.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZkg4HpFI6
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf2yFD3BuE
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK8vRqCsS1
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb82h0mxyo
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAeKcVk1jm
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YmUWm0Q0j
Tomura: “All Might…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3xyAreapQ
And he wasn’t alone.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv8oBuG1EM
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmdwPO50Hz
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N5Ez2w4KV
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIkO65PdjN
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf3und4395
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2BFVKY22T
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uNfFMjVap
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9mIWdfPm7
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYiGn9iW75
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkO2phdN2z
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-
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7LlhRWCXC
Tomura: “A continue?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lCUGfCrjX
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBgJzVATAH
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXqHhmhHJ0
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnVA6I5psD
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3YDbXG8PX
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzj8g6a1fy
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLTzMBy4SZ
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FB2loZIEQ
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEKfhb9HtG
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgNooq7c81
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi9n2FMUHK
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXRLcYf4jL
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCPquvQpTV
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd9M7odb8Q
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlxawzOLn8
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA43rHDtWY
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQRjNLmywe
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfL8SlmcKT
All Might: “You are-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuWK3IY0WZ
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0xKbiN1l2
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyNvwLU3ZP
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2V03lSSZz
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?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybC3tUUu0T
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAuekFwRig
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtgUFK7p6E
Fubuki: “What happened?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6vXixJkFP
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucPatvYPfC
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1dIYWRGhF
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcC2djyooO
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADJohF2gOb
