After Kaoru left Lily and the other injured heroes far away from the battle, ready to be taken into medical, she flew back into the battle.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShoxKJwERG
Screw the fact she didn’t have a license to use her quirk; this was an emergency! As she edged close to where Valkyrie was, she saw Tatsumaki slowly tearing apart one centipede while three strong pros were dealing with the other one.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKINF3QFBl6
That left her to help the number one vigilante and cull the smaller centipedes. When she arrived at the scene, the sight nearly made her empty her stomach.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzGRAHvW0l
Valkyrie was truly a machine. She didn’t stop, she didn’t breath, and she didn’t show mercy. All quirk beasts that got close to her were torn asunder. Some even seemed scared of her.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGixdMkzh
But if they thought they could run back into the hole they crawled out from, they’ll have another coming. The esper gathered several pieces of rubble above her head, quickly creating a giant ball.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yf20W2GMj
Might as well sell it. She raises her hands and has a bit of fun with it.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT4EhGBKG3
Kaoru: “Give me your energy!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsOmus9YmJ
As if in response, the rubble ball started to glow reddish pink. When it reached a sufficient size, enough to light up the night a bit, she threw it at the hole.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUrqXAlkc8
A second later, a bright explosion rang out within the black of night. The nearby centipedes were blown apart while the hole was closed by the rubble.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQAGsoheWK
Seeing devastation, Valkyrie halted her rampage in time to notice Kaoru descending next to her.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jGgGqWOfr
Kaoru: “Hey! Let’s clean the rest of them up and then help the pro heroes out.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZNnus0XO8
Sure enough, there were still some remaining creatures left. Valkyrie nods and goes to charge in. But she stopped and looked up.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoxcTEMHhv
Kaoru: “What is-”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xc41dCUOT
Up in the sky, they see Tatsumaki flying off. Thankfully, the large quirk beast was busy recovering from the beating it received.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPF4Fclnu7
Kaoru: “Where is she going!?”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Xbjq6MO7
Kiri: ‘Onee is… mad.’
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdUXUO2NHo
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLWjU3Gu1B
Fubuki has gotten stronger, it is true.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8KuctrvFU
She conducts her empowered needles through the quirk beasts, producing several fatal holes. When that wasn’t enough, she used them like claws and tore them apart, always at a distance.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOUYtWRZFw
But this was also the first time she had used these abilities in a long fight. And like against her brother before, her stamina is the problem.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfu2iLxmwx
The swarm is shrinking, but that doesn’t lessen their aggression. As proven by the several cuts and bruises she has received. But she refuses to let something like that stop her.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAKzJN3Ctm
She won’t embarrass herself in front of her big sister or little brother. She’ll prove that her training wasn’t in vain, that she can stand on her own.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gVcP19S0C
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJRhpktMDG
Blood trickles down her nose as she commands the horde to stop long enough for her to use the needles as a moving storm front. The hazardous blade bites into their flesh, turning the blue tornado re-
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70VQia0JCF
A rumbling in the ground and a sharp pain in her side. One tunneled underground and pierced her stomach. Even still, she fights on. Cold air escapes her mouth as she forms a fist. Instantly, the ground around the centipede condenses and cuts the creature in half.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBBw0lAlox
Grunting, Fubuki then rips its top half off and throws it at the beasts that survived her razor tornado. However, the wound received didn’t magically heal.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwtQDU4V9w
She falls to her knees while holding her gaping wound. Using her quirk, she is able to keep the blood from leaking, but she is unable to close the wound. She has not learn how to heal like her brother yet.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisZLEtc9tW
Despite the situation and the oncoming centipedes, she doesn’t feel fear. Instead, she feels strangely… calm. Victory seems assured as she places her hand forward.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnW5fgWA7l
The temperature drops considerably as she allows her psychic power to-
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZpfrzbwEx
It was as if a bomb dropped, but considering the green glow, Fubuki knew who it was.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uOYqVWvS3
The creatures were turned into paste by an enraged Tatsumaki.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCqaVpJrdB
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv5eYTTdPA
Tatsumaki: “Leave.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpavaACKD0
Fubuki: “Huh?”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lh4AVxZ02
Tatsumaki: “You’re in the way!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Xz23MknH
Fubuki: “What!? I’m-”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk9HuVcPxf
Tatsumaki: “What are you doing here!? Focus on evacuating if you can’t handle it, or better yet, you should have stayed with our brother. Where it’s safe!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsQGeSfz7G
The eldest didn’t wait for a response; the battle wasn’t off, and there were more idiots that needed saving. So she took off, leaving Fubuki suddenly exhausted.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29uQ7Il6YQ
The power that was building up left her body, and she felt ready to collapse.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMotPPonOjW
Fubuki: “Big sis… am I still…?”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicPDFv4wn1
There was no time to dwell on her possible failure. Her sister was right; she should reunite with Izuku. So she drags her body to where she thinks Izuku might be, making sure to keep her senses open for him.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcFJUU0ZYy
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGa0cItQQT
First, it was racing here after feeling Izuku in abnormal amounts of pain.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32vwl7pw4E
Second, it was being forced to let the man who nearly took her brother away escape.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtYVKWVf2f
Third, it was the unexpected struggle of fighting this centipede. Even targeting internal organs wasn’t slowing it down much.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68x3cb3PGx
Fourth, it was seeing Kiri fighting the smaller centipedes instead of staying close to Izuku. If she were with him, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj421GJhtO
Finally, it was seeing Fubuki once again putting herself in danger when she didn’t have to. She should have evacuated or stayed with Izuku. But now, she decided to fight a bunch of bugs. She’s clearly not ready to fight alone, unfortunately.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF7sJvvyOF
This all comes together to make one very frustrated Tatsumaki.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPDK4Bu1QD
Tatsumaki: ‘This ends now.’
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpMQlXSBVb
She rushes back to the recovering centipede, who was looking at Kiri and Akashi like snacks. Not on her watch.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0CdjK5J2U
To their apparent surprise, Tatsumaki flings them far away with a simple hand wave. They are unneeded and will only get hurt if they keep fighting.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zDuzvQQe0
Free of all distractions and worries, Tatsumaki holds both hands out towards the charging centipede. Just like that, it stops, frozen in a green glow.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfJD9RF0FZ
Channeling all her anger and frustration, she senses the entire length of the creature. From the head all the way to its tail deep underground.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43MXSaWyMr
Then, with enough force to make her forehead bulge with veins, she pulls. The ground quakes as the entire centipede is lifted high into the air.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVikq0QYs2E
It bellows in distress as Tatsumaki slowly and painfully starts crushing it. Organs turn to paste, carapace shatters, and its bones are reduced to powder.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsr3ZYYO9P
Blood rains from the sky, but not a drop fell to the earth. It collected around the shrinking creature, creating a small red planetoid. Those who viewed this were left in awe, for the sight displayed just how much power Tatsumaki had in her.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDdjmfjr1y
When the screams stopped and the red blood moon was the size of a building, Tatsumaki put on the finishing touches. Using the surrounding flames, she evaporated the blood and burned the remains until only ash remained. At last, she let it all fall.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdfvf1Un2Z
Task done, she descended to a destroyed building and fell to her knees. She may not have gotten damaged, but this was the first time anything ever forced her to use so much power.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T0fNfHlNP
It felt… strange to be running low. Surely, this was enough. Surely, the other heroes could handle the other one. She can rest.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA38avQxxL
Tatsumaki: “No… never.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z8ln917Sp
Even if that’s the case, she can’t rest on the job now. Must always be ready. Must always be her family’s unbreakable and undefeated pillar. And someone like that doesn’t rest when others are fighting.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwikw6xm568
So she inhales a large volume of air and flies off, if a bit slower than usual.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82YjDDpHjP
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ2p3bHItK
Endeavor has to admit, despite how much he dislikes Tornado, her power is undeniable. In some respects, it’s more impressive than All Might.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEMPA41jKu
And because of that, he can’t fall behind. He has been fighting this centipede almost as long as Tornado, and he too was close to finishing it.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJXGpz140o
Its body was charred, and thanks to some help from Edgeshot and Gunhead, its many sharp legs have been cut off. Blood oozed everywhere and it was slowing down. One more blow to the head should kill it or knock it out.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHYA4nZyKU
However, like many things, events didn’t go as planned. The creature seemed to mourn the death of its kin, but didn’t have the strength to enact vengeance. Not today anyway.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuYgmzRh7H
So it ran, slithered away from its doom.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhsQYpNY00
Endeavor: “Don’t let it escape!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxemGHhdxd
Gunhead was too slow and couldn’t keep up. Endeavor threw flaming spears and balls at it, but they only hit the back of it. Edgeshot was faster but couldn’t do much damage while its belly was to the ground.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcxD3Cylun
Endeavor: ‘No! We can’t let it get-’
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PNSVNEIm6
A large explosion echoed in the air, and carried alongside it was a familiar word.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLFpul3Lan
SMASH!
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL7l7ysSFE
It would seem fate would mock him regardless.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcG2IBHc9d
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tNoxMGlJw
Thanks to Tokoyami, the trio reunited with their classmates and friends. Despite the darkness of the night and harrowing situation, they all smiled at the reunion. Even if some things were worrying.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y88epoJWi
Uraraka: “Midoriya! Ida! Are they… ”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1mvfgbINP
Momo has been at work while Tokoyami’s group was arriving. For Ida, Momo made bandages and painkillers. For Izuku, she made a bed with wheels.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUoIUTPfvk
Momo: “Izuku will be fine; he just needs rest. Ida though… ”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV6NoTwgro
He was also asleep on a mobile bed; the pain and stress of the situation were too much for the young man. The bliss of sleep was his only escape from the reality of his state.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xQWIBOSPb
Tokoyami: “Fiends… ”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7vI3ZwC4c
Dark Shadow: “Vengeance… ”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSNrYLgsLv
Uraraka: “Who did it. Was it him?”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGd1BIf3Kb
With a glare that Bakugo would be proud of, she looked to the still unconscious Hero Killer. Despite that, Todoroki was standing close by.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuLavuf7zm
Todoroki: “No, Ida was like that before Yaoyorozu and I arrived.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1p9UzRsbk
Momo: “I think it was the one who Izuku fought. His sister was the one who saved Izuku from him.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGg9aIKQRv
Kirishima: “Then he’s as good as caught, right?”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF4dxiE1Kh
Momo: “I hope so.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3IenYxDPt
Todoroki: “We should get moving. It seems like one of the quirk beasts was defeated.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QfGte5vEP
The group turned to see the aftermath of the fight and what Tatsumaki did to the creature.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3CcmYp6HV
Uraraka: “Scary… ”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5yiWZ0UeE
Todoroki: “Their whole family is.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd66SRGmPYm
Kirishima: “Haha… yeah. Speaking of, where is Tae?”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFbOlnwS3Q
Momo: “Don’t worry, she’s safe. She can handle herself.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLoJvNmovK
Kirishima: “Heh, you’re probably right. I hope the pros can get everyone together. That way I can stop worrying.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQn4uaBmRs
Uraraka: “Me too. I hope Emory and that child is alright.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPOdz4MbRa
Todoroki: “Everyone, we need to move. Now!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgS3Y3Wjpk
Hearing the urgency in the boy’s voice, the group turns to see what has gotten Todoroki worried.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ3V4kkFeE
It was the last centipede, damaged though it may be, running towards them.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K51ukv84M
Kirishima: “Seriously!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTcfz3sNiG
And it was fast.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb760i9ORUY
Izuku wasn’t awake and couldn’t lift everyone.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkhJqNYxI2
Momo: “Uraraka! Can you-”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodNPiLDAXQ
Uraraka: “I… don’t have the strength to get everyone out.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGbXPwEs9i
Momo: “T-Then jetpacks! I’ll make one for everyone!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz9AIMCCWM
But she won’t have time to make one for everyone. Seeing this, Tokoyami and Todoroki look at each other. They are the only two with the strength to maybe give them time.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcZcGoKbbs
Not wanting to get permission, the two run towards the oncoming death train.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRLxyp95HC
Momo: “Todoroki! Tokoyami!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YqEldPbGA
Kirishima: “Damn it!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoPXFlw38l
She knows. Damn everything, she knows and understands what they are doing. Dark Shadow at full power and a glacier could buy enough time to get everyone else out. But…
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSCPxKr542
The stakes are too high to second-guess, she must act now! The back of her costume explodes to reveal a jetpack. Using her bare arms, she quickly makes another. She needs three. Hopefully, Uraraka is strong enough to carry Ida while Kirishima carries Stain.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaXABsgBXR
The two brave boys stare down death with much fear, for this is the role of a hero. To be the wall between the innocent and the tidal wave of evil.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwI0TJnATU
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiObwvg0z2u
The living shadow roars as it increases in size, nearly fully consuming Tokoyami, but the boy holds onto his sense of self. They are not fully in sync, but for this, it’s enough.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Wf87caB0
Todoroki supercharges his ice, enough to create a glacier to dwarf the one made in the tournament.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gdB11I6bJ
Within moment, all will be-
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEWvE3k49Y
All Might: “Well done, young ones!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpRsfNJ5R6
That voice… it was enough to fill the two boys with hope. Even Dark Shadow calmed down from it. For it will all be alright now.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ1sEalKOR
Why?
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9xR7UadC4
All Might: “Because I am here!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh3tjqQe9Q
The number one hero appears before them with a fist reared back.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ3Lu4Eoad
All Might: “Detroit… SMAAAAAASH!!!”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47cscU9zsj
His fist collides with the face of the centipede, stopping it in its tacks. At first, nothing happens. No air or explosion. But then glowing white cracks started to form on the face of the creature.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6m6SAmWsq
Before long the cracks spread thoughout its entire body. Then all at once, wind pressure exploded from within. The creature was blown back as it slowly disintegrated into nothing.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36c0QuOzgM
This was All Might not holding. For most enemies, he is not allowed to actually kill them. But that’s not the case for quirk beasts. Even Tatsumaki can’t destroy them so completely when compared to an All Might going all out.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkJsKjJndC
But only All Might knows that even this is not his best.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAMy00ghqZ
All Might: ‘I could have made it here faster if I was at my prime… ’
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWuznYCUKn
Regardless, the battle was now over. The crisis resolved with one punch.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPy5XIBnEo
Todoroki: “All Might… ”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9bQNgdqbZ
All Might: “The battle is over, but now it’s time to rebuild, young Todoroki. You two, take care of your friends while we deal with everything else.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEJVcejMSO
Todoroki: “Right.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm9qHN2Tok
Tokoyami: “Thank you, All Might.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtr1NsmskF
He gives a nod before jumping further into the city to regroup with the remaining pro heroes. They need to salvage this situation quickly and prepare for the inevitable lynching from the press.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTUXIGzlO5
Meanwhile, Momo breathes a sigh of relief. But deep down, she wonders how much this will lessen All Might’s time as a hero.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyc5H5znof
But for now, it was over. Now all that remains is the aftermath.
