It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVv7NvWAiV
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1SD0dj1Hy
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEcMixT7N2
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzzxucKKyc
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVrFm3D8Qj
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAUrJWiFVT
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0GDF7EgdR
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx7nfOcjOw
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTmRK4spNc
And murder those who would threaten them.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLP9nvUJ9E
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JNx8TIuki
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8x2EqZxOd
Tomura: “Nomu!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmz6xB1chB
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AWZdjJ1QX
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLn5NVViMi
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N2ZO5BGKF
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzH1R8lpYE
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkv6t9dq2X
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv07JRzN2Q
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj99dVO8kL
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSmQi4HxJv
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq78eLrtuq
Tomura: “…Huh?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu9VrQHKwP
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMsZdUuCdz
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM9LMUwwtW
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVGY4ISc3G
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx0qt3Cieh
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X8rLAq90f
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…
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bNqpY1kaQ
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Orco4QKq
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoBQKmnSD9
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvcWQF3MVs
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvI5y34sw2
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGCDMElkc4
Tomura: “Now what?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uDOajgaRM
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7seSsYMXhO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51FdfKrp0M
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTH49Rhdns
Her skin was on fire.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9JbTi1fXG
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZhjesdHgN
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Lyj9Jbar
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1OvPKCC2c
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLtuvkKDsJ
Kiri: “Asui!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM0aBRZXaM
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8HQe0VbqK
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJRGcY2aGg
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TCbjYQVB7
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWvfgzttBa
Kiri: “NOW!!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1rZvhna8u
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLFUmmxMjZ
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN300V8Che
Tomura: “What… are you?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoawH4gPfS
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW9HCvRz2R
Kiri: “A hero.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsvlax4BP
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbhOunFQyR
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW7KOwSKzd
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ40QYWq1a
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjEedTh5i8
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI0ZwxJlSD
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr9chOiJ4I
Tomura: “…No.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWdW7keG1u
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9eRp8J7sv
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTo2OAQ7es
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltot15jLhX
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINr4PuJB1z
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT38qyt8S0
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXYIPlVCBe
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JP6UySSyk
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNynJaLFQuv
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL61ISJq8dS
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwRpleCsFO
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlPwsP7fGt
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXVjsaalc
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshRWxVHquF
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahmPZfZEJe
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqdleQKx9V
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqGFNcxOat
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftEDyhEMXw
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0IyxD2Nxc
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOAVg0JyMg
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBwjVVSUgd
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8lK1i4kN
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL8h81RmQi
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IRZCVRmp0
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsvxxYAJ4Q
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbG5ieQYPq
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBhu5Ic8CL
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsapTm1JSX
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfZ0GIujYW
Izuku: “Kneel!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3aWrJjiNF
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8r8f0VVXD
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NdmkiONbM
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEFHVo7Xvz
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLLXSrY4hL
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pQaMVi8WT
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYPB8wNxE2
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA9tj1jbm1
Izuku: ‘Why?’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdgj6f3ceM
Another blow to its face.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rV8sSAuj6
Izuku: ‘Why?’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxDsrN6Gk7
Another blow to its brain.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi4TzFiOzD
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBbfqOzwZy
Another blow to its body.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9pjbjAclq
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkpmrmYPWX
Another blow to its neck.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZROMYyF5r1
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6XyqM5Woj
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8vrZb5cFA
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VFPierK2G
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PtYJ4crvZ
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0FmihVkB
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi64yqAZG2c
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa72M75CrtS
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRDXzmVfWQ
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5LeiesFx4
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD61msvosP
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PDqZOjFZi
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglZG4QZHg0
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUfAeVN5ET
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3FYj9F2ft
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuCYme05NK
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqrdSYGCZ7
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPMAkginga
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s0leFSiEJ
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocXEusTakV
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe0XTmPvd7
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bpcPaOTKA
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo0C7eBgWV
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8cjnQKdSX
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28dcrNbXj0
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ZPFND4fX
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzTRGad9MD
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCLNYyFyih
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXNwYn4mXz
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPW9aJuRjZ
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCf0njRWmt
He points it at the Nomu.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM5rYHhGb3
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVS5NOi2qX
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMvKGaYV4l
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU545nMi56r
Izuku: “Huh?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgM4MqU11x
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPDWy37HTN
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWSBvQcGEv
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdmBUG7iOg
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkN1xXYppi
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZatMYINaO
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Hrhk4xOs
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5HPIVmBCG
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYYkxcQqlw
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMAvXRZOWU
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EJIT6dg38
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7xW2dTqdk
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqReyDuKci
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1c6q5TLCI
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKnStj3pqa
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcBKJiylcx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugiKzOP3hX
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXRa4sx07Z
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxQPUbIWJq
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrONl6mht2
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAfU3i1UC6
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU5QjiEv3P
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM0atNvPwF
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdHp4EaBfe
He fired.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXDgVsmd4I
She crushed.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jxc3eZ0R5
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6njL1yTOj
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7ISN4cRBF
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoRTM6ZUk2
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjFUoAoaK2
The winner is Apotheosis.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7qVREE251
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIOAXwZ1AY
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKZRdj5JOp
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DnKLmauCj
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYE4BmW407
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbgzcKloJR
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn9cY4RojB
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReYZ5AEo6A
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPoU0hZql3
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZpb7PtwHf
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVttL0FAnsU
His father.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5v4l8XBPK
The beatings.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOj7V9Vvsm
The weakness.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmee245Mye
The rejection
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCq3DHru4n
The cell.

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!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDUyByjSqL
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXUbQZiMut
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhmxbjRsrR
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?
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NoV6qS7D9
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.
