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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdb2V3hLQq
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8vZTzZzUx
Clearly not.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oaQ4SsIpQ
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD23cLQLcJE
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiO66RPMpU
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?
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzcEYNz5tS
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp5d5LLRK1
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFruIjzYU8G
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu1aPSddux
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVYVdR0Ayz
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsH0AkSljs
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82T106XK3v
Todoroki: “I… see.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEwD2rgIlf
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rjcj8kTYo
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7NYGRh2Ze
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.’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikempRKFHr
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZPUX18dvx
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yv5xkXVQS
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lC60CFcHt
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9YSUS13NW
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlToLqSlZjJ
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13l9FyMLvx
They can do this.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUbyFmUOag
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a7T5EG1B8
Izuku: “R-Right!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRl3VTthSv
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcZUM5SRuY
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI3JKjwOkf
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7LjTwtLvk
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcNJNDv3wW
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlFtSqHbvv
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bycRqjILv
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyOgt2ZDf1
The pain, however, was getting to him.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8G3M2lALu
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeoEWs48r3
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsDtkuFhU6
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlViJ8KnSva
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17YdExdQS1
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf6C1aRBKq
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7kNqe8Okd
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstDev31vsz
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHWYW7ru13
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqdNxG64En
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1hZNzuozY
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWw75JKT1L
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeavmPKP7t
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8XgUpeUbk
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxs2iTK5HD
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6mAT3mGni
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbEi3oDLvl
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFY4hO97X9
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc05YkwmGkW
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fsBKKIpB0
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGmIlamBtG
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW88Q0fNW6
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH3FTKa2DV
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOyBVrFeou
Fubuki: “W-What?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq0w3TElFU
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4T2vSvpsa
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIzlJl2UOC
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkGKlqDzRu
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvhsHkj5lA
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDUt1wJeHz
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2TZ7j5lEX
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlSmgNwOKU
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ93wMkpRq
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWG3jOt1KL
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrXOz5AHPH
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEgFt2rfHI
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOcKFaZtlx
Todoroki: “No problem.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3iuvHCqsp
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmJG9jNZGS
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iCPbXVUFh
Before the phoenix took flight.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZVuC9PPO8
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpJ9Fgqtst
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoAssPTLxd
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9U08ePIiR
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH99kYEaHm
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFZ8jXCJGI
Bakugo: “Wha-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ugF0aBVa
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqyS28oaNq
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fzXndBZKM
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe7mfE1X3c
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDHI719VXT
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VJQMn7xM
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mm7Vf5pHR
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrhF1nPufc
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSAYBU8yjE
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYsIgPPV4k
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQjWKOASbZ
Tomura: “Not here.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJULrbSQr8W
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNiJCSZYeh
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEKFMMR6YY
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjkpsfVzQ9
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgaGz6e1ot
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?
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIfRKt0gzQ
He needs to do more research on his family.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf5spws2bc
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?’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHnN7iO15r
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9mtPVpoYJ
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDbv9CBwx9
Tomura: “Agreed.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5bexKzBes
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzp5g1tVJM
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK8ilPNuD1
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7OR0OcyBJ
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVZ6s5QEIY
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynizqkqJJb
Tomura: “All Might…”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlEwzNhITh
And he wasn’t alone.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwwCmkF57s
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHeRkwGqfm
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCn3sBdCkE
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDAfZV0fU8
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCjm4IM1hQ
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4rHL5DtA2
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTuFSJLq9U
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcnn1KJrRm
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTj9l5NS71
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81nwKOuJun
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-
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi4Us7AYSK
Tomura: “A continue?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6POC7vAqb
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBajgk5iTg
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQAcwTBDX2
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBYJdVE5q
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7gSsHDPCa
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0b1UQ2kNL
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtng4U9WP8L
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Y8ygWte5
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw7k4g8Yyl
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnekVztltd
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNCOefrROT
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoLOAK1HGl
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIyESVmvDK
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5xF6otYX0
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKBUlO8DCz
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHcfMA3d67
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG6qxc7KW9
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuCC1XZ1XG
All Might: “You are-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhojyIb9I3Q
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ouvPSra9
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a77MueKEW
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyzxWKEqOY
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?
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRfqbWqHDu
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqjeE0n2rn
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSdldhbxIO
Fubuki: “What happened?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVttfxLuvpE
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TnHCUIKII
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj41aLTprn
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8N58TofwM
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
