It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqxoYuz31f
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjKPqZzkeQ
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn2rGp8SGD
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEliv3hI4Oi
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5cKXroZeP
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV9lAayflJ
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmRGGbMmIa
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXLnRsS7Yg
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjEaiANFMj
And murder those who would threaten them.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynVQUp4eQB
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJObXFI4vX
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz88W0n7mZW
Tomura: “Nomu!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89FYIv5bcS
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fJVzYZTUt
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyYmljZWg3
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKVloBZInR
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7jpymsoTc
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN8KodU7aE
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxncstE0C
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWicKLgWBlc
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUU3KuuUBb
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.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKDJ92XQbH
Tomura: “…Huh?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaj8jrkrKe
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrpEv4DCdH
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOQhyzAgA
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK4QZumA8i
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd1ikFrwS0
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzHw2cYeed
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…
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdaosspfZe
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjWF2PKLFd
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnclpvLyOt7
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz57dTcXX44
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJygpnO6Xze
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIdnIHIvPv
Tomura: “Now what?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaC9gv45IR
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWKwwk6ZLt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlfu6OCs7R
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D4T8QtKfQ
Her skin was on fire.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K7RxQzaGa
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcqs0CZKUv
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjtWG3V5Yg
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5pzs6M68O
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia8cFXd8st
Kiri: “Asui!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5T7shPxN7
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyN6L1DAmP
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u3eSIxDpB
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHYn4QYjnc
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81uLdDSnvu
Kiri: “NOW!!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RrAWIKlNM
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sngWbO16Q
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivXVU1ZHVU
Tomura: “What… are you?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp20cwrC8uY
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KjN9PEGsO
Kiri: “A hero.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l6rKD9Zbf
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5eAOlMjsi
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN2iXhHkop
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Wa4iR4zT
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMweMGfBUN
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG7Z3xQhME
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu92SCg4axY
Tomura: “…No.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFsIktrmBx
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp33SCYCUh
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.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNY3V7lOKb
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmQeYoQIR0
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU0EBEYWvJ
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSOa5H0yK8
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1pgQZzy7g
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD8AvLSWeK
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9EqBCnOXw
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdmXpsZjvO
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXrZumxeXA
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAWf5vYLPd
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrvozV51JP
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfVx0m8AcS
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ4CyFWZ9K
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr2SKQLwK3
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagc3OLMx8W
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14OyYCzSLO
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVfz5Sgwam
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6vMbJpWQ1
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKYbaRWxy5
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtxXOQlHEG
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksXS2Sx6YN
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhQbsCWc4h
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMwvrayKA7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxuWepynmu
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxqjhdr8To
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBLrt1RJGm
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtBAJ17SlQ
Izuku: “Kneel!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQJcWGsOTQ
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTujumOqFDm
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWh7rZyJja
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRaYW1sFA0
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKtTbBYhBI
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJCfuOxi2x
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1zkAsXyBq
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNawAdU8V4G
Izuku: ‘Why?’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFlLvYOAnr
Another blow to its face.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmL216pw13
Izuku: ‘Why?’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NI7lx7WTT
Another blow to its brain.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP3qo3nwLi
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWXtjJDYPf
Another blow to its body.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA33cTiQmLK
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRUkIK6HBR
Another blow to its neck.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxQkz0XrU7
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewuoWatcjV
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGQN6q6qYL
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MsrgYkRdk
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhgi2oYzPE
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUNVJGFrNy
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEftBe8eDG
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTAA2Kgp5a
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsRbeAHse
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6wcx6UoXj
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydQoccYVxH
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcDFb85hXC
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNX9KrLa21
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhepyYz4lK
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe94PZ4PMe
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHATkLJZegl
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEGUAeBPUX
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4wEE8GQZ5
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACqgIrLNav
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWZygmQl6n
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡempFC4AamG
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfX2TU4dYQ
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5Ne5ZPFH
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBwhrVMHcf
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5emqTMK0y
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKQRvwZf5r
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq53Kc9Udi
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.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUKk2Fn8R6
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvQropMJfK
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaL2P3Czs9
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq6oyB3HYY
He points it at the Nomu.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QE0vV6s5H
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpIwJOLYpo
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ryj2kRXBb
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4dVvn4sjq
Izuku: “Huh?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFh3F7ZiGo
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA2dJZZ99j
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqGAsg2ZBC
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLntEJiECq
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBjk6eyqSL
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie1fhqe8qE
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm608oKVRuO
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxXoHKfEwB
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VDmZm9Kyx
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRtSiaBkO1
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRyqg33qkP
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1201Nhn9D
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAXszhjTwg
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCixCDRTfUS
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HoUNWh5SU
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7iXt2gVVi
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ci7iOnBZL
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGhjNnEKAw
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmykaaAyvag
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvJ5TKisfW
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhamoQTPUjJ
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVND3YBBruV
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM44hjYjjXi
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xEdRDEp2C
He fired.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlAKTduw0N
She crushed.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ1uHkHlBA
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj952QHKgGy
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQDt3eUpFH
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAqy7mB4V9
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBjQxgd03a
The winner is Apotheosis.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAuIFnDBEe
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK2seSwqw8
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv1rdCqTp2
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtZsjTinIU
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0XLqB8efY
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.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WQkxhLkSa
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFlF0Ldcai
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iveRivIRk
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nly0fDQhC
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsMVJfgJnH
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WrCoE9T2q
His father.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmV42tBNSy
The beatings.

66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT35e41JvL
Apotheosis: “Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaplQsy54O
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoRt2rzjrO
The ground rumbles, and the cold air listens.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyUvYWL3av
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.”

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.”
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFggdhVcVL
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.

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.

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.
