Todoroki thought he was the strongest in the class. It made sense due to his quirk and who his father was. But never before has anyone been so humbled.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv3uEDWy2C
It’s a miracle he survived the collateral damage of that climactic fight. He was going to go to the main plaza, but hearing the commotion, he changed his mind. Maybe someone needed his help.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd3ZJF6Gmp
Clearly not.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozc5n0YW3V
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmRwdUpyZ8
But he could tell that it wasn’t Izuku’s normal state. His normal state was the one he was dragging through the broken city. Whatever caused his massive power increase, they can’t rely on it now.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t1gtCmQs5
Especially if it’s anything like his fiery half. Todoroki can completely understand why Izuku might not want to use it. But then, what’s the solution?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhvFntfCnV
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyyMeXYARy
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tecun978S
Todoroki: “We can’t keep running forever, and I won’t ask you to use a power you don’t want to. But we need something. Think.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OV4uJP7Y7
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtsPvwoBQr
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiz1X7wOWM
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX3wvTw7H2
Todoroki: “I… see.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIvaueKrYx
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8rNOs70Rt
The boy can still remember the sensation of how to control his destructive fire. If he can replicate that, AND ONLY THAT, then he can win. Because capture is not possible.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VY0f1mWBb
Izuku: ‘It’s fine. He’s not human, practically a quirk beast. I’m not a villain. I’m not a monster. I’m doing this to survive, not because I like it.’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCkBwOReQ0
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOwqRDgRua
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMzqdBsawc
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15kHNycYSF
Todoroki pushes Izuku away as he dodges the Nomu ground smash. Debris is flung everywhere but the two boys are only scratched a bit. Todoroki retaliates by freezing the Nomu once more.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4c9UHWc6
The creature can break and heal from the damage the ice causes, but not the damage from before. The severity of the wounds Izuku inflicted before refuses to heal.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoMmt847Q0
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcmOSJxm0n
They can do this.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX43ZHgQxo
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYBvm3VBVM
Izuku: “R-Right!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe98EbXi50P
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSGfqn74Hz
He digs deep, reaching for his psychic power and his flames. Like before, the primordial flame erupted into existence. But due to Izuku’s weakened state and the psychic disruptor, it only covered his arms and didn’t hurt as much.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgvlxiiIB5
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN7lq2rpla
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJqkpiShe0
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EyqKnqsiG
He focused all of his will on forcing the flame to obey him, to focus on his hands. It was working, slowly. From his elbow to his wrists. The skin previously burnt was healing due to the softer flames.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmFGASLgru
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMda0zRWuVJ
The pain, however, was getting to him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2whlKqeoO
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAtD2vrMSN
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8HQujjXSm
He couldn’t open his eyes to see Todoroki overtaxing his ice to keep the Nomu back. He couldn’t open them to see his hands falling apart. It would only distract him and show him just how hopeless this is.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZSqUOPLXC
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruiTpzlm15
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaiIeIGATZ
Suddenly, he felt a cool warmth wrap around him. The flames cool ever so slightly, and his control over it is better. But that was drowned out by his sister’s awful screams.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXyhucDGt8
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpiLUfPbcd
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEcg1sOINV
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmtwPij226
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY90EWXI7v1
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYACIenaBX
And so the prince commands and the flame obeys. The flames become cool to Fubuki, as signified by her grunts of pain being replaced by a sigh of relief.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAVclwR8JD
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6zcb2EjW7
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdSDAh1CHM
Izuku opens his eyes with a green flash to see a nearly free Nomu standing a few feet away, hand reaching out for them. Now or never, the name of this biblical attack appears in their minds.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ2bfb25Mb
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxJxfzV10h
With the screech of a phoenix, the flame is let loose to bring hell to the royal family’s enemy. The phoenix made manifest swallows the Nomu and consumes it in the roar of an inferno.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrJI5tW4jp
The creature’s screams of pain are quickly snuffed out. All that’s left is a melted sludge, a mix of the Nomu and the metal beneath him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKradBOVo6x
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52ORCpAyqf
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENlN4YV88k
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs9F67CSMH
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVGz76L6Ia
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrE1Hh8Bvg
Fubuki: “W-What?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjkoiUyJHa
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX9l2c6cyd
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfzbZgZIH1
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhNAORr9j8
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf849Ie3W41
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI6p1EyIg3
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3R3NrpoHt
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOMCLQWZbF
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHfTpqADpj
Suddenly, the buzzing stopped, and Fubuki felt like a weight had been lifted. The flickers of fire on Izuku’s wounds burst into a constant flame.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OmW8UL1W5
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFJOgHFD7G
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4LzQmaz5M
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmhJfQ3nrY
Todoroki: “No problem.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC98JvWU0g
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyWBp4KT8w
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FvL0HXEFQ
Before the phoenix took flight.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVYF9J8IQj
Apotheosis couldn’t help but grumble as he got closer to the central plaza. He failed to kill Fubuki, and now he knows his psychic disruptor is still far from perfect.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmlDRSNzcS
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXupwVbMbOj
He wasn’t. Apotheosis arrives on the scene to see Kurogiri captured and Tomura being pressured by a student with red hair. Worse still, the rest of the goons have been defeated by the teacher and a frog girl.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wXiQsUOk3
At least they did enough damage to have them out of the fight for a moment. A moment is all Apotheosis needs to turn this around. He dashed into the fray and shot a blast at the one who captured Kurogiri.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqLnonRQHf
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKPWnl2Z3D
Bakugo: “Wha-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcW6w91v4F
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx99xH15DeZ
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZQMhDiN57
The boy didn’t question it, he quickly backed away just as Kurogiri and Apotheosis joined Tomura. The frog girl then quickly got the unconscious girl further away from the villains.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv9Pa59iX7
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33KRC5gweG
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37tCIZORmj
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfhGTv6xfh
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHYdA51GK
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld9glCW33g
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGKmPhN7bo
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ULZm19yK1
Tomura: “Not here.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhxHAM5ndc
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyIswB5wN0
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9jDyfrQ5y
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl6Yp4lFWy
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCKCs1XPZh
Apotheosis could already tell who has delayed, or somehow, defeated Nomu. If Fubuki could surprise him, why not Izuku? But Nomu!? How on earth could he survive that? Was he really the quirk level he picked up?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eVJAf7vWj
He needs to do more research on his family.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6offBt8l0U
Apotheosis: ‘I might have focused too much on Tatsumaki. The other two are just as crazy. What’s next? Is their mother secretly powerful as well?’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAJHvzpxZa
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvul6W5NO6L
Apotheosis: “Don’t I know it? Well, assuming Nomu somehow lost, I suggest we kill these heroes in retaliation and get out of here. We’re not leaving here with nothing.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD6K9gJs5t
Tomura: “Agreed.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzwTXBtui0
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLZmWD8gVq
Seeing the villains finally turn to the heroes, Aizawa dragged his body forward and prepared to defend his students. The two groups stare each other down, ready for the final clash.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMgIZTUFum
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3c6YCRC1u
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bjpof5iPm
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxjRJBVstG
Tomura: “All Might…”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNvWPtOeyZ
And he wasn’t alone.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXua0pC1tq
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bH4n47YBg
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XTqknLflG
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dBbFyP6TC
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXxfZbFGjb
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDZh6P4Ip5
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R7L09GHqN
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUWBCv8Lb1
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28HraKc6rj
Apotheosis gets in front of Tomura and aims his power glove at All Might. He’s also ready with the trap foam if needed. But before All Might gets too close, something strange happens.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgpcWMMNna
Sickly mud bursts into existence between the villains and All Might. A gloved hand emerges out of the muddy portal, and the reactions are telling. The heroes are confused while the villains-
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO20amZDukc
Tomura: “A continue?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5y1lYwZ4U
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOMuXMAQT0
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTer5S4ZQvH
The reason for the change of atmosphere stepped out of the mud portal like this was a normal occurrence. He had a clean business suit, messy black hair, and eyes darker than the misty abyss.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lHWK1DJrS
It was those eyes that really sent chills down everyone’s spines. It was so… empty and cold. His affiliations were also quite clear. He had a face mask similar to Apotheosis. But unlike his, this one was black with straight lines instead of hexagons.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRklcOaobkL
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHjcrWbyiB
Apotheosis: “Now that you’re back from your little trip, maybe we can win. At the very least, we should be able to take down some of these so-called heroes.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmn4BpvtFp
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLapKBo2ez8
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXHLlQ8gz8
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC6gysnJJV
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkDUCWVO4o
Surprisingly, the dead eyes of the newcomer turned to Tomura and Apotheosis and smiled. Unlike the eyes he’ll show to everyone else, these were… warm. But it was only for a second.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9MmbkTCB3
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI5pfs7GzR
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8VkluiAay
No one tried to stop them from leaving; how could they? All Might was still stunned by who was before him while everyone else wasn’t suicidal.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHdToJ5gat
There was something about this man that screamed danger. Only All Might or Tatsumaki could possibly approach him; anyone else would be annihilated. Even Bakugo was slightly shaking in fear.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxyfsXgJZS
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EeZ8UZXMg
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8ICcndQXI
All Might: “You are-”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nYYRy5oNs
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXUNKBct4P
He looks into the distance and closes his eyes. He feels the young flame that intrigues and frustrates him along with the cool snow. Soon after, he hears the faint sound of the wind. It was time to go.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu5o7Tc91Q
Azrael: “Seeing that you’re too stunned to fight, I’ll take my leave. Savor the peace you have now, for this was just the beginning.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lO4LkFgpk
With that, the man melted into mud, and silence returned to the plaza. What could be said after what just happened? Dirty past? Our Symbol of Peace?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQIe4EdVu5
But the face All Might was making was no lie; he knew that man. The time for questions was over; however, the heroes needed to regroup and recover.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00VhqWL0Ku
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOiVE44w5r
Fubuki: “What happened?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1yScnkihB
Everyone turned to see Todoroki helping Fubuki, who’s helping an unconscious Izuku to the central plaza. Green flames were still licking the wounds on his arms and hands.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMentYoOQJ3
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG9wAgQX9V
Above them all, the usually explosive Tornado was floating down from the glass ceiling. Her expression was cool and calm, but everyone knew she was holding the fury in for now.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPecijzQ2gq
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4R7LsQXc9
