It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lHChQILA9
Izuku wasn’t registering the villain's words, all that consumed him was the sight of his little sister being strangled to death by this monster.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeJYahKbov
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt2FdpPsZA
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5fjGAYvBY
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPQk5Q5Jim
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDTJfXSN1T
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPswA0cMZk1
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEoKZAPovv
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cTbIjA1Qy
And murder those who would threaten them.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ZTAuvsdG
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSmVUBqgIB
Two locks of his hair raised up like demonic flaming horns. But unlike before, these remained as he lifted his hand to end his enemies.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjHlUxbw4N
Tomura: “Nomu!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OL9XrtXXz
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOMnmLzdG8
Thankfully for him, Nomu quickly launched a heavy blow against Izuku. Prioritizing defense, Izuku brought up his shield just in time. Still, the blow was enough to send him flying.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dAlwQM4Cz
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rrHTLcZz9
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtp9g28pDi
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8hua6UFTS
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbUE9d6CnR
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ3GAtKtzh
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EiEx1nUK1
Kurogiri: “I have incapacitated her; however, I’m afraid the students whom I could not scatter impeded me. And she was therefore able to escape with her life.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPOZ1O3qaZ
Tomura: “…Huh?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLDe1M8C0k
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumy5MND6wP
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EWiodKF2E
Tomura: “And if one of those brats left to get help, we’ll lose. Especially if Tornado comes here. It’s game over… for now. Get our strategist, and we’ll hop back.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAQc6Mpmh7
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmo7dGVdMC
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t16FjrsX6
Tomura smiles as he turns to the still-shocked Tsuyu. Not only was the scene before bad enough to nearly make her hyperventilate, but then what happened Izuku…
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv305WYXsL
She has the abilities of a frog and also their instincts, the instincts of an animal. What she felt from Izuku was like being next to an apex predator. No… something far more primal and ancient than that.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lyNBI875c
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSaWHty7OB
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec3xUVxf9R
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5zs935Rn1
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ6xRRf0eG
Tomura: “Now what?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu9tJqdGzE
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MCKBMQmdF
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E4HLjKuw2
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85GypFzc3D
Her skin was on fire.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbrcNWEaTb
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqht9PpwgX
Something was wrong, and it was affecting her. The desire to rip and tear every living thing around, to offer their broken bodies to her green sun, was filling her mind. She could even feel her body morphing into something more monstrous.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVo1T1fIHh
But she knew this wasn’t her and certainly not her brother, right? Regardless, she fought it down and got up. She won’t let these villains hurt her classmates.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnIWaXLqpa
She didn’t notice their faces painted by fear of what she looked like now. It didn’t matter; she had a job to do.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i7yGo6Vo2
Kiri: “Asui!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaR3PZf3VN
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFidqpFmPO
Finally snapping out of her terror-induced stupor, Tsuyu looks at Kiri. Or more like in her general direction; she couldn’t stand to look at her.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMt3AyKwQh
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW59Nbbwy4
Tsuyu hesitated for a few seconds, wondering if she could even help him. But whether she wants to or not, it isn’t her choice to make.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJxuqZZels
Kiri: “NOW!!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzRkKqKPBg
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNBBGxaawC
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90RHk24h8K
Tomura: “What… are you?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8vBe2dsiL
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6ixeeCT7j
Kiri: “A hero.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRHbiAfn4J
She bursts into action with a fist ready to deliver a near-fatal blow to the leader. But this snapped the two villains out of it.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSRuoxYlJr
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Ejd3mca8
Kiri suddenly feels her blow get redirected to her face. An explosion of green smoke erupts from the impact, but she growls it off. She won’t let this stop her, so Kiri dashes to the left and then forwards to Tomura.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cEY36oxIh
Unable to keep up, Kurogiri was not able to create another gate in time. So that allowed Kiri to deliver a vile uppercut to Shigaraki. If he didn’t dodge at the last moment, he wouldn’t have a head. But the wind pressure of the attack did knock the severed hand off his face.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XqIwIs25b
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vyRv15u2D
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnngdeN4dfz
Tomura: “…No.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENwCNpitBd
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqRu2oEXPe
Tomura: “I want to strangle our strategist for giving us such a poor game guide. But… even I have to admit he couldn’t have predicted this.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGQRILhgf2
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ065mO5tzJZ
He had to cut his words short as Kurogiri quickly transported himself and Tomura a few feet away. All to dodge an incoming green and white meteorite.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WVj8kKKAh
Its impact was heavy enough to cause a small crater and mushroom cloud of green smoke. Out of that smoke emerged an even more monstrous Kiri.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HakxStoYv
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqCkW7PtCz
She grabs her hand, trying to keep this fury under control. But her vision starts to blur as her mind is consumed with only one thing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGfFvcxGNu
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPqxsfXeST
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5TKBgMk2b
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep3LMlKc1p
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPv0OnT6gc
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHGqBouCxJ
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFgUuQxeq3
The explosive boy was not grinning like a madman. Yeah, he was happy to finally get a chance to deal with that misty bastard, but this was too serious of a situation.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ED6Ib2LRl
So he worked fast. He sent an explosion into the mist, quickly working out where the main body was and grabbing it. Then he slammed it into the ground, hand ready to end it if need be.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6WtMm4ZoS
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkYZOxi4E5
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufSWmo1VYy
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrVK1DcREF
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSTNdL8iGA
She couldn’t hold it back anymore, her hand reached out for Kirishima. To outsiders, it would seem like she was going to caress his face, but in reality, her hand sought his neck.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nHQWWqzPC
But luckily, for whatever reason, her form suddenly reverted to normal. The abrupt change in states was too much; Kiri’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hsCtiiseB
It was only due to a miracle that her form didn’t dissipate and return to Izuku’s mind. Or maybe… it was too much of a hazard to return to right now.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBVIc6Oa1g
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63AAOA3fHB
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5oXBan5Rn
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHWSlQxj1H
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUFctjI8oA
After the blow landed by the Nomu, he was sent flying over the sea and landed in the city zone. The black creature arrives shortly after and tries to deliver a fatal blow from above.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbuaEzgYtP
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NclVO1KB5
Izuku: “Kneel!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOxn2BgTzV
It does so, like a good mindless monster. Izuku creates a Psi-Sword, not out of his tie, but out of thin air. It crackles with white lightening and emerald flames born from screaming stars.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvXY4hvW9V
The Nomu breaks out the telekinetic control in time to avoid a beheading, but not enough to avoid a slash across the chest. Good thing too, it can easily heal that.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHGvH4erpt
The moment of shock from Izuku was enough for the creature to deliver a ground-shaking blow to the boy’s head. But instead of an exploding head as expected, its attack was stopped by a pinpoint-accurate shield.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXihVgIN9k
Then the impossible happened; the Nomu was punched in the face. Normally, due to its shock absorption quirk, it wouldn’t feel much. But this punch was heavy and filled with something more than pure strength.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Y2ZJyNWi
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O4ynlYBhM
Nomu attempted to get back up but was kicked back into the ground by Izuku. He teleported above the creature and dive-kicked into its chest.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqOqhbUAMS
Unleashing all of his built-up fury and hate, Izuku delivered blow after blow into the embedded Nomu. All the while, a question was beating inside his head.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxXn5kR3u4
Izuku: ‘Why?’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC0sfuN2ca
Another blow to its face.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWB5BtIVoA
Izuku: ‘Why?’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU85lF3gcjV
Another blow to its brain.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZJrnT7lzr
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOErHmB42a3
Another blow to its body.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0O0aKRD4L
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMkopWHWAp
Another blow to its neck.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AZX2GeK8i
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56hRWsD1y8
That’s when Izuku could feel a sickening smile creep onto his face. Seeing this, Nomu grabs Izuku’s cape and slams him into the ground next to him.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKhULWmo0X
Capitalizing, Nomu gets up and starts hammering Izuku into the ground. But it amounts to nothing but a stream of fire from Izuku’s maw engulfing Nomu’s face. That moment of sudden pain gave the mysterious boy the chance to cut off the legs of the creature.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWngMoYzQVB
Nomu falls back while his legs begin to heal, but not fast enough. Izuku sends a powerful wave of psychic force that propels Nomu back into the streets.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LvjZX3rwc
Flying after him, Izuku collapses the nearby buildings and flings the debris into the recovering Nomu. The creature punches the assault away or tanks it, which only excites Izuku further.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTB6t0nZHP
Continuing his charge while continuing to destroy the city around him. The coming clash, the smell of battle and carnage. It was too much; Izuku gave in to the infernal sensation.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPqOjQzauq
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSunggPWl3
He crackles like a madman as the two monsters clash in a flurry of blows. Some of the esper’s darkest impulses are brought to bear. No longer is he concerned with killing the Nomu, not yet anyway; he wants to make it suffer. He wants to drink deep the fear he can sense growing in the mindless creature.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMM0TC4EUL
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK6wBRjjNi
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjwsRZ2ntx
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3xt2ika4v
The Nomu is a mindless artificial human; it shouldn’t feel or think anything. But for some reason, it does. There’s something in those eyes; no, there is more than one thing in there.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aC0kaQnRz
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFDbr95bxc
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEkpnJDLIg
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZXsbOsSd5
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hQ41XkVZy
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqNybxRp67
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPm1VwG2sz
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMiYQRERgj
He uses another force blast to send the Nomu flying back and then shapes his sword into a curved design. Taking a strange stance, Izuku begins to swing the sword in elegant arcs.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEmdvBqqoH
Each swing sends a spear of energy into the body of the Nomu. When a few dozen of these green lances graced that scared body, Izuku ends the dance.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JU9Lcvnkn
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHJ7dvsWJ
A green fiery explosion erupts from the body of the Nomu. It was enough to blow off its left arm and severely damage its chest and legs. But that wasn’t the real problem, no.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDvMozclZk
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBexw1vbH5
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKFVYapoBq
Izuku smirks, admiring his work while walking towards the whimpering beast. Every step burnt the ground beneath his feet, causing smoke to follow him wherever he walked.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyhgTOwYt5
Izuku: “I think I finally understand why Bakugo bullied me. It’s… fun. Having this power over you feels… euphoric. Especially since I know you deserve it. I wonder how it will feel when I pay back Bakugo for everything he has done to us. I can hardly wait.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUONtcvNG0
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34TCpBrqhE
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVaVmEkJKc
Izuku condensed his Psi Sword into a fine point within his palm. After a moment, the energy in his palm started to look like several small green stars.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbtlZCfTY7
He points it at the Nomu.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tgGPJPlRE
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6VvO4GAG7
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIixIHayCjc
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29fXSIycvL
Izuku: “Huh?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ZV9Bj71O
Then he begins coughing heavily, splashing spots of blood onto his palm. The flaming horns recede, and the power he once held disappears. Izuku drops to his knees in pain, his whole body alight with agony.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsiidbrEZM
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl48zkjqA9
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG4dRUtlJv
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjaSWW8HAh
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdz4g72XJq
How could something like that be a hero? A true hero isn’t supposed to revel in rage and bloodshed like that. They’re not supposed to be excited at the idea of killing or revenge.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwUZrZFX9G
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujz1O1lVCc
This inner turmoil wasn’t lost on the Nomu. The fear that consumed him slowly eroded. This was its chance. Carefully, it got up and approached the kneeling boy.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyijFF3IFh
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwIJWiSzwH
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocWt1JCtCR
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TRTPtKATj
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ytRfrurVh
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAGpZQj65Q
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vaZXfKhAX
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwNQUTSGdt
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0no1IgjgrI
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MRxgxLWkS
They were in quite a stalemate. Fubuki was quick enough to dodge most of his attacks, and Apotheosis was smart enough to not give her any ground.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12RYlg0Dem
But this couldn’t go on forever. Fubuki was getting tired, and Apotheosis was running out of power cells. So, they both decided to end this with one final charge.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZngRzUAQfp
Apotheosis pops in the last of his power cells and increases his shields to one hundred percent. He doesn’t think it will help, but on the off chance, it might stop her telekinesis.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFEScoSoj7
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nqcgPzFkq
Within moments, the deciding second arrived. Fubuki strained her eyes to find where the shield generator was but came up empty. Within that instant, she made the hard choice to just crush everything around his waist.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3xfLBjnSF
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMYhrKzXd9
He fired.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQJQf6Ckkb
She crushed.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQjshJqEOI
He screamed in pain as he felt his body armor being crushed into his skin. The sound of broken ribs echoed in his ears; the pain was enough to miss the shoot. But not by much.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkpG4c0si1
Fubuki screamed in pain as she felt the skin on her shoulder burn away due to the energy beam. But more than that, the force was enough to dislocate it and send her flying back.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOrVSFvWRa
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgmMhKofp0
Exhausted, Fubuki grabbed her shoulder and tried to get back up from the awkward fall. But the pain was breaking her focus and therefore her power.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwQJR0rjRF
The winner is Apotheosis.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpMuR2vWxr
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoKGDs9sgi
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUKEkBRoho
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdohrQjqFuM
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnAwf5lgRT
Apotheosis: “Nice try sister, but I guess I’m just better than you. Don’t worry though; know that I will take good care of our brother and that bitch you call a sister.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7feYUJ5Mpp
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7RYwBnZmN
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAdHUZ1Nmk
Her hair whips up, and her eyes flare blue as the ground beneath them breaks apart. Instinctually, Fubuki sends psychic waves right into the mind of Apotheosis.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zk8hib8tE
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstLPEuydMa
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJEpIPq8GQ
His father.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa58YS0iROi
The beatings.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcltXXj8uIj
The weakness.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcmn5tbHGs
The rejection
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiddYu8xqe
The cell.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6K1iyGFU5
The failures.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiCpGWmVq4
His mother…
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPJpo045Yk
Apotheosis: “Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQDQjHk0kp
Granting his wish, Fubuki raises and uses a two-handed psychic blast to send him tumbling into some fallen trees. But she wasn’t done, she rose into the air and unleashed her signature attack.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d9e5zk3FO
The ground rumbles, and the cold air listens.

Fubuki: “Hell Storm!”

Instantly, a large tornado formed around Apotheosis. Dragging in rock, dirt, and even the fallen trees into this death trap. His screams of anguish were drowned out by the roars of the wind.

A few seconds later, the tornado dissipates as Fubuki descends back to the ground. She stands tall, ready to continue the fight and defeat this blight on her family.

As for Apotheosis, he emerges from the smoke still standing but severely damaged. His clothes were in tatters, his precious armor cracked, and even his face mask was destroyed. If his shield wasn’t destroyed before, it was now.

Apotheosis: “You… you’ll pay for making me relive that.”

But before the battle could continue, they both froze. Something has happened, but they both came to different conclusions.

Apotheosis: “There’s only one person that could have a quirk level over a hundred. Damn it, I need to get to Tomura. We’ll settle this later.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA5xrmdN0m
Apotheosis runs off to not only get more data from All Might but to save Tomura if he needs it. Lord knows, that out of the three of them, he gets into more trouble.

Why?

Fubuki: ‘But how?’

Even with the Psychic Disruptor still on, she can sense Izuku’s power. But it was all wrong; it was twisted and dark. Nothing like what it should be.

Her brother’s psychic signature was warm and inviting. This was anything but. However, it was still clearly her brother, and he needed her help.

Fubuki: ‘Izu…’

So she pops her shoulder back in place with her quirk, runs to wherever he might be, and prays she’ll make it in time.

There are a lot of references in this chapter. If you noticed them, great, but don’t mention it in the comments. It’s not blatant enough to warrant me having to say which fanfics (or more so other verses) I’m adapting yet.

I want to keep it a secret for now. So don’t ruin the surprise. But by all means, give your thoughts in a vague way.
