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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Em5GbekZX
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg56QnH6Dii
Clearly not.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TLy0awaTb
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiDoCox28F
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReQ0aoWxPB
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?
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Aepj1ccQ4
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz95dpb6mM
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNkok0I1Rj
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.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8DhYw4YjF
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8TEc4f4w
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJq3o9YTiw
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnNWMy7zv6
Todoroki: “I… see.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccurq2ZBox
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nz5IlfgBJ
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSQKaUdkvi
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.’
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh4ySc5oat
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNLqSbncjD
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuGMPM20uG
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZSgww6tp8
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kxcc7q6S1
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH02Omt8LyR
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE819fN1Wu4
They can do this.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW9mAte3J5
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQBrn8xu7b
Izuku: “R-Right!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF57UVo4I2y
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tqMhvdXSP
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgIuslyDp3
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXnJtQiCzR
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKzkzYnHE8
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRqT6gy1ok
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9wpYXxDZE
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHGXDefBZw
The pain, however, was getting to him.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3jzXSwffG
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2e6YnWvhG
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD05uqLMT2b
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SuxhRZf9D
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74QETMjMSS
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBIwUcjei5
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxTgjf7r3e
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0UyavX5qB
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8GdTJqP8E
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbpp84QjQk
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQNu60VCFi
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgOsoMygPa
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QqbHIPyty
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfykzI0SwM
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJPm2F4dOd
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0keadWAEzR
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNOWbksYK
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ04vlm1y9
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHX3Uir3PB
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuve5gxQAdB
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sbXrCOZl6
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrt5lcbD80
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWN92Vfnib
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvDevbcYwe
Fubuki: “W-What?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJcyNwh05X
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5IIXSZvBb
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCwXqKWaS4
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlJBbcoFf2
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct5zpYy58k
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE9x7u6o2k
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqdx5yl73i
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8usuk6UR1
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOX5egzJOl
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qJSZ6k5sa
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwGPw1e1To
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVQ67CB4LQ
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJtnIGvi2
Todoroki: “No problem.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehcSOLo0db
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGOlQFszoo
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTu3zaVN1L
Before the phoenix took flight.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5YwNgpXLv
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFHlpVZ8S4
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lpOOstMNm
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTaO4h3LhS
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLiP5Ds464
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd1q9o2W0B
Bakugo: “Wha-”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIoxiTxpxC
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ960yuwseA5
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDpguwe7DE
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOkCxe5z5m
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUT6J8BFpH
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWkysU37P0
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMV7v852LF
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgf5MT7y6e
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjMDd26EEz
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIyrr4OmsG
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqepjpif9dP
Tomura: “Not here.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCZf8TmkHG
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW57Oicfb16
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0QzzMjOjt
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte5mPGn0rQ
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGmaK1PIFE
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?
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScGVXi7o3J
He needs to do more research on his family.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSrrrCJSNT
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?’
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztoKXsKNmu
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUTNgWHfGN
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.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJXBffahbO
Tomura: “Agreed.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS1HwLjtrO
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2TRYsKSDl
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTULIdh3hCh
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAwech7LhP
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQ3xLGhRH
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvvTZeNUQb
Tomura: “All Might…”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcNlxGumzq
And he wasn’t alone.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTytX7kOSms
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFNIY9wNpz
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW5f2PPPe1
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnnzPuJlzq
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS80gyp2RC
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb65EIHXUAP
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwcul5ClXs
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwAqxReEfi
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqZ5mBP0Ou
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lfGQ73f5O
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-
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzyqTS5lny
Tomura: “A continue?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K4ia2Yeky
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSLncvm8Z7
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChjjxNeIEZ
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1NjhJY6yY
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUwfVbZfZi
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI94IMTbQ7q
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.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIzaPeHD8S
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9e3yuiVKG
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4i8EQeNxG
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66SN2lQ28b
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0CxxGT8bK
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ72gJAg3JI
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaJA2TDeUO
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VnjEGChHJ
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncq28SOR1Z
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP5Q105OV6
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBSRo6oejn
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg3jS4vTJM
All Might: “You are-”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTRC48STn4
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJEmXRczZt
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZBtFfUFed
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.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N6y1iyxzA
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?
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3fmeyjZiA
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTdd9cEW6m
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHJkPFkAZw
Fubuki: “What happened?”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S4c71rS3l
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ToTyfphx3
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmefelRFXHM
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.
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4lyuMjGrp
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
