All For One will win; he always wins. That wouldn’t change just because Blizzard and All Might head his way.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlf7uZeNeM
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcxRLkqDrs
Well, playing was a bit much. He was fighting two of the top five strongest heroes.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU7EEjUhWx
Their skill was on full display in this 5v1, and yet Azrael was more than holding his own.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV47llmy4m
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaQcJZy8vF
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa71A8HEakk
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0IxplGawg
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYW9e1PIxF
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD7U6C8FXE
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLZLpriPiG
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qeJROMCF4
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv2D5LJwsg
Azrael: ‘He won’t be out for long.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT11xyiSSwd
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcCpltU0Tp
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOsF8AzAKp
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAQA9pzfrU
Azrael: “Your eyelashes become really pronounced when you use Focus Fringe, almost distracting.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1C8UVt6Qg
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ba6QptZgN
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafMFPZuZ16
Eyelashes & Edgeshot: ‘Now!’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwozo4Yavln
From the front and back, Azrael is cornered. The purple dragons emerge from his back against Edgeshot, but he easily dodges them.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIY5BnifMZ
Eyelashes evades the next lightsaber swing and aims his weapon at Azrael’s face. Before long, both gambits land.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vfINBXUF9
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7715qDYJy
Taking no chances, Best Jeanist fully wraps Azrael in denim cloth and tightens it. The result was a living wrapped mummy.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R6ljDskYd
Lily: “Is it… over?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI984lJ4jPg
She says while leaning over the still smoldering Mountain Ape.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWsFaBVx7h
Azrael: “Of course not.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPwsKZRqbI
Black lightning surges out from the mummy, burning the cloth trapping it, and revealing a barely damaged man.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Buy33s2w
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?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqEi3z2Q1n
Edgeshot: “And just let you cause further damage? No, we won’t do that.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EwLYJOsO3
Azrael: “It hasn’t stopped you all before, I’m sure. Passing off the responsibility to someone else you think is more qualified.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsyFazizVH
Tired of his words and actions, Lily gets up and points her staff at him.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfTsY9Rz8l
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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqifm8uzXQI
His eyes narrow and twitch.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0FtuJ15Yr
Azrael: “Is that what you think?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZZ2DSHAgB
Lily: “Yes! And we’re going to bring you down, because that’s what heroes do!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBEYV6n72h
That did it.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVmB7MhkAo
Azrael: “HEROES!!?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQlc3BfHe
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOdJdVcG3M
Azrael: “How dare you call yourself that. When you know nothing!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6jgIWLbQ5
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hfxZEqKtu
There was a scientist who presented his theory and warning to the government. It came in two forms.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtnRpI1cIV
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ5BXsRltA
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0dSu9DXT0
However, what the government and Public Safety Commission at the time did was belittle his ideas, even banishing him from his career and society.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN3jLvTQTw
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo8TpCg5tX
The same applies to the second theory.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKGN407wkE
The Singularity wasn’t something to delay or prevent, but something to control. The ultimate tool of domination.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R9p6A1LX5
And what is the result of that hubris?
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDbmXeolqU
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0bMEwByCq
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhDmE2VHI7
The mother was desperate and so made a deal, one that caused the devil to smile.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ktbJNjEx
The result of the procedure was obvious.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3dsd82gDa
Azrael: “IT FAILED!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoRKpGRYeV
The dream shatters, and only blood remains.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTlsGNIiGb
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!!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaNrkcDGAq
The boy who was forced to become a man trembles as the ground shakes in tune with his growing fury.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqYJRKdF6v
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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuum2aM1jj
Tears start to form.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogAq6kpDrL
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!!!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2AYpuOuSK
The angel’s spirit trembles, the sky bellows, and the world looks into the watery eyes of one who is broken.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDLICE0uwW
And only one truly understands.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnBlkAcibE
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlJELgFsv7
Tatsumaki was too busy with the delicate chaos to fully block the black lightning. So she also witnesses the past of Azrael.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAH9M3MDiV
To her growing unease, the woman found she could relate to and understand the villain.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEqIJZ4H6w
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2qLrLpYVP
No.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYegP8RVoF
She would have become something far worse. Having her family is the only thing keeping her sane.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdcsEPrjFF
So if they were taken from her like that, then the whole world would pay for it.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg3Kds3fsl
Tatsumaki: ‘I understand… ’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52UHAJhZ8L
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcrDT5x6ez
If she didn’t trust her sister and All Might, she may have just abandoned these kids. Still…
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADBsLMDaRA
Tatsumaki: ‘What’s taking them so long!?’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDZOC8u9hu
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd3WA9vCAf
Twirling out of the way of a psychic blast, Tatsumaki flung her away and blocked a wave of purple acid from Mina.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Lktc4zn9
Tatsumaki: ‘I almost got it… please… hold on… Izu.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MJJP5sKOW
Dodging above the large explosion of hardened blood from Vlad King.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1awioWUDJ9
Redirecting Sero’s tape to tangle with Ibara’s hair.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XoIi1RtNz
Forcing Setsuna to not break apart using her quirk.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMvDnx0Iry
Containing Kaminari’s near-constant outbursts of lightning that threaten everyone.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrLSDRZiE
This and more is what Tatsumaki has to deal with, leaving little time to focus on the main goal.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YCxGpLxpr
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJxoLRS7u9
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S67tQE8RJ
Ignoring the barrage of horns pelting her shield, the hero does mental surgery. Within moments, a naked Pony is ripped from the nomu ooze.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkVyTGgMhZ
Tatsumaki: “Yes!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1MxU8Pga1
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAXLRwoZOZ
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGSZKEFTZT
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0s4NfOGVq
Lily should have kept her mouth shut. After learning more about Azrael, she couldn’t help but feel for the guy.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxDpFMN7rK
But that sentiment is doing nothing for her right now. Clearly, he was just having fun with them before.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ14GtR724c
Edgeshot and Eyelashes were down but still conscious. Best Jeanist was still in the fight, but only barely.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgjxFVrg3R
Mountain Ape has become a stress ball at this point. And her?
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jkrzlkHtl
Backhanded and slapped aside like she didn’t matter. Clearly on purpose. Whenever she tried to help, she was cast aside.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoVyCseUVl
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvGOUhN0M3
Frustration and rage build as she watches the display, causing the white flower on her head to start to bloom.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O3DD82GE2
Eyelashes: “NO! Calm down, Lily!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr9TOSJK0r
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiddEXTWPX
But then-
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWlStyShBd
Bakugo: “DIE!!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54VFmYRrwu
A human rocket collides with Azrael’s back, taking his attention away from the bloody Mountain Ape.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX4aVOqiUR
Azrael: “Mor-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ2dck66p2
A large glacier explodes to life and freezes Azrael in place, at least for now.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt9TTflBs8
Mandalay: “Is everyone alright!?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUJRc1jQIo
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV3crjYfaP
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchJ9hUMo8J
Shiho: “No… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2PszeyrTT
Aoi: “Kaoru… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ndZt8dyGk
Sabrina: “I’m going to-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvED1BCfulX
Mandalay: “Focus! You three help Tornado.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKWS9Baygo
Sabrina: “Don’t have to tell us twice.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjOI16qNA9
The three make their way into the other battle, while Mandalay turns to the others she brought.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhyZmIsyHV
Mandalay: “You all will help the pros here hold off or defeat Azrael.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n305Vq91L
Ida: “U-Understood!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV95fghEyGe
Jiro: “N-No pressure… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4IidkxHgu
Mandalay: “As for me, can someone tell me where Kota is!?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aWsh0nzB4
Lily: ‘Thinking back, there was that kid Azrael summoned before fighting us.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtonwwOwfy
Going to Mandalay, Lily pointed to where she last saw Endeavor.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANIHMZftYi
Lily: “I-I think that’s where he is.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqPMSOgSiN
Mandalay: “Thank you. I’ll go there and-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5yWU1jj9e
Eyelashes: “You’re really leaving the kids here?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MXA8FJ6yI
Mandalay: “Yes.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqUlvu6dK7
Lily: “B-But they’re just kids.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq54wTSnRl
Mandalay: “Yes, but they are strong.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV97CAUYly
The ice begins to crack.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEfyiwD9V6
Edgeshot: “Go. We’ll make sure they survive this encounter.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBaNYU09al
Nodding, Mandalay quickly made her way to Kota. As for this group, they got into a proper formation.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZ7FJvEJT
Best Jeanist: “I hope you still remember your lessons, Bakugo. This will require your best.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGLVPnd3rh
The boy only growled as the ice shattered to reveal an enraged Azrael.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UCyO6whvc
Azrael: “No games, you all die now.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA417tAYuX
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhJ11EjyNd
Azrael: “Overclock.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRwk7o7qw
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lobnm7Xiv
It really didn’t take long for Tatsumaki to nearly end things. The only remaining ones were Kirishima, Mina, Kaoru, and Vlad King.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOZ83Y6JNY
She would have gotten Mina or Kirishima earlier, but one would fight so hard to save the other that it was impossible.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p8A3TydnB
Tatsumaki: ‘I have to do them at the same time. Perfect… ’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yfKMSUAYI
Kaoru and Vlad King were simply difficult. Kaoru actively resisted her efforts, and Vlad King… he seemed stuck in the form.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2hfWe3rwU
No matter, she’ll keep trying.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKC9JBWyBG
But things took a turn when Kaoru’s psychic scream was blocked by someone else.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw9PzbK8P8
Tatsumaki: “Who-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC7EKM0apL
Sabrina, Aoi, and Shiho: “Kaoru!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncAayNYi0M
Three psychic kids enter the battle.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd8z8fAXiS
Tatsumaki: “I have enough to deal with; get out of here!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0905A75HQa
Aoi: “We’re trying to help.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFK4DGfzj4
Tatsumaki: “I don’t need it!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgkgKye2I1
Shiho: “You’re getting it anyway.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxcwP0SkUD
Sabrina: “We won’t leave Kaoru.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3DGCT3JSW
They say while surrounding said girl, who seems… reluctant to attack.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdabukesg2
Tatsumaki: ‘So some of their personalities do shine through? I thought it was just some gimmick with the other two.’
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1csCte8IyF
Not really given a choice, and admitting deep down that the extra help would accelerate the process, Tornado turns to the last three.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEhQXPbGi9
Tatsumaki: “Fine. But make sure you can keep up.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84O3Jrfu7l
Sabrina: “We can. Kadabra, I choose you! Help the Tornado of Terror save our friends!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2t7MxUgQf
The creature emerges out of the ether and flies beside Tatsumaki.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ScKbhIXTK
Tatsumaki: “Good. You keep Vlad King busy while I deal with those two.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8OfYtXe2M
Plan set, the team dash toward their chosen targets, determined to save them.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYytchKVEuq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2fREEJn2Z
When Mandalay made it to the last battlefield, her eyes widened from the sight.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltEpFPqJiz
Mandalay: “Kota… ”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg061e6NRY
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjy4XJPeaJ
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QIbzkaJQp
Mandalay: “Stop it!”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQt1H1tV77
Both stop in their tracks to look at who interrupted their fight. The one stunned the most was Kota, mouth hanging open in shock.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgDeMCj7Jk
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhuyOfzwrf
Endeavor: “What are you-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPYCPUddWP
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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eDKwYU8C7
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.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozGxOklHAc
Mandalay: “Kota, honey, what happened? Why are-”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuNUfRONss
The boy backs up and snarls.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Cs3fGeuB
Mandalay: “Kota! It’s me! You recognize me, right?”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22CQSljqEP
She can tell he does, but he doesn’t stop growling. So many emotions swirl within those young eyes. Too many to properly name.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JXWEMWLsN
But one was clear, love.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQEQzQjD71
He still looked at her with care. That was all she needed to know.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdC098ex6F
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.”
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU3uvyOJX2
Taking her own battle stance, the motherly woman prepares for the hardest fight of her life.
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBknq3exue
Mandalay: “I won’t leave you side again, Kota.”
