It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI8pMZOnGz
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9da52A3saj
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEtEQbDyr4
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JiQhQCBjV
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbbKeFrdst
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP121RDOIy
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLNwpUDHbx
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB9XPSAIC3
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2NfY3cFTA
And murder those who would threaten them.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW0UyaFmNZ
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI2CGaH2tA
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLWf4VfEd
Tomura: “Nomu!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrIgWFwgAc
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOidwf689mI
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6wpsTQbIa
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvi0fwJKYc
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwmpnRRPQ3
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQRk3kKuKY
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99WlFProRE
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld0NAKHxfT
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ10VuWlQJr
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalLTNUl6Bl
Tomura: “…Huh?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrAjExMJtA
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOdtoRfIis
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShQ4x02QPf
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidba1zhcpt
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlehq2rAqO
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSrwignCkM
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…
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iAV1UyY5g
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ceb7lFvzh
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CC6qTnFCm
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNz41S6gfx
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq8DnQ67iW
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz2i2CvRuW
Tomura: “Now what?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxnnaVtRBL
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl4pHCWUqc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmwlptfiD
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ATDGbkm8
Her skin was on fire.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpz3nSGeOv
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxXYpk5o7K
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC7vQt4X5u
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFuOZcHPvn
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mYS30FwHr
Kiri: “Asui!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArx6XN8gzc
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iX0n6j73m
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVuniSyOiJ
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVklnjPCtOH
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf0i9OTtrB
Kiri: “NOW!!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47SP5freDL
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TKzE1UXwB
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO0XrsNra0
Tomura: “What… are you?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVATV4JjMZ
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvTiCHhkdL
Kiri: “A hero.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58FYBjGU5F
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKPk93GsDw
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV99l1bwI1H
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iDYBgUM0R
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbFdiraFXe
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOqLe4HR30
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7iR1VkOgs
Tomura: “…No.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9gR9w0oDM
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznrs64VqPc
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXGzedlXOf
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRyJfBVbgF
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOz7eFfULw
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM5gw0iICb
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6loelrbUq4
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewGlK6QeSE
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NxMCYNSL3
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4xgyEiq3X
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThnGJICFxz
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgpnSjp05C
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdeYxJScvG
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ461KNTEsXt
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD98ClJQFqO
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPRHAEEItc
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fGUUPRAXV
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02I3AFFeeB
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNT8RqfCcf
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpTOvMewxW
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfFIkJ177r
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsXNVoRYq7
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfnGbYg4qA
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcafiay6A2
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VWjcbehm8
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y4xzk54bC
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMdSZD0NAM
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN3RAUhbAw
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X2TVsBmSC
Izuku: “Kneel!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJegPvGXqbM
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZN30HfIus
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ180KJaYgp8
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFVEa1yCfs
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJtMj8O3i6
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR8GNOQQLB
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurHu1BW8r3
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvrsgB5XMK
Izuku: ‘Why?’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrTz28z8LV
Another blow to its face.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ekjbU9512
Izuku: ‘Why?’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjxhwFilNK
Another blow to its brain.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx60mPCQ6ij
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNA1EerffE
Another blow to its body.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO6nkzxOhr
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkO93XxSfX
Another blow to its neck.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguT872NnX0
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ168oBTQWll
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRClO5s9PH
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9uhRh4CuC
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyZeSzgkiT
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XjkoDqGg6
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcfDoJKJtv
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR3Jyi30ou
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Ee0u0smv
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHJgDvmHgx
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5NFziBZZ
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad5iKw3NfX
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpgoQkOk3Q
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bTxbVoesz
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOWy33Hh4W
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyEGvCCdXV
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVXeznUMEe
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SKRhe41XY
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrGHy2d926
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FdEIabNRB
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkezFdUAUN7
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFV9zUT48R
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdjfGvejcQ
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPpHpTu5yv
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNkb4bYJkQ
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweQsCuCsOl
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0k0gI5D01
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfCW1MJJ8f
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje2EFDrxvD
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirXKLlo1xz
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6icczhuYN
He points it at the Nomu.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiXPl3e36Q
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbO7JKIVsX
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60zGGsXM32
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bm4RPbKt2
Izuku: “Huh?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrTIYDtKRM
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ07qhREjy
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoerqUjKhc
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bv4XRo83A
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq9V1PlDih
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmoSqyx2oB
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQj1542vB9
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt46MlTA0B
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWhQ5o2cNk
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4HB2hgXy5
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9TOnPPPzm
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzkQQvZGAQ
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0MGcxJ70i
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAgDOqofln
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDBAl0aj2w
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMxJpyb55I
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B5rM7AQwf
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3QKm0rtXI
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCP2DeDw44
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zEQFT7AO8
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8Rpcd59I
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfmfkvwHk
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcEKQh25i9
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtywskVsuL
He fired.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdTLuY1m0i
She crushed.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFincllMtB
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAzkADrZnZ
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKHQ8dztMx
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY1KPiVJxp
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8oMFsFyEH
The winner is Apotheosis.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ICcsnstw
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjrDHlw7M4
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx16IM3ZZR
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA8zvlLEOb
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxnhJM7LOk
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqUjRH8fau
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNQ0zGZs2w
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VEiqvF4PP
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6a2i0AIg1
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QGEJ7YdrB
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IzjeKTEzN
His father.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdPaHz5hv9
The beatings.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHeJufVMvG
The weakness.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHzM0k1rkQ
The rejection
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZf4F15HG0

Apotheosis: “Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!”

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.

The ground rumbles, and the cold air listens.

Fubuki: “Hell Storm!”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaodNvcibo
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.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWfBkdEUm4
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.”
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxuw7lC1TH
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.

And if Fubuki tried anything, he still has his Trap Foam. Fortunately, Fubuki let him go.

Why?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqPtgPk2vA
Because she knew who the true source of this power was.

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.
