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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQWthXZmBR
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwlL0ldpXi
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5UizHaWDY
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj4rdrCzr1
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6okTZj0Mqv
Might as well sell it. She raises her hands and has a bit of fun with it.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvk6wIwxkJ
Kaoru: “Give me your energy!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTicU6fyqS
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnafB8RCp6
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjXH8xgQ3U
Seeing devastation, Valkyrie halted her rampage in time to notice Kaoru descending next to her.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOOWYOp2HC
Kaoru: “Hey! Let’s clean the rest of them up and then help the pro heroes out.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VNAdkkGmc
Sure enough, there were still some remaining creatures left. Valkyrie nods and goes to charge in. But she stopped and looked up.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOpsEudfJN
Kaoru: “What is-”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolHhJ9SvvU
Up in the sky, they see Tatsumaki flying off. Thankfully, the large quirk beast was busy recovering from the beating it received.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcntegBLMz
Kaoru: “Where is she going!?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuZ103RjUR
Kiri: ‘Onee is… mad.’
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaY7V7IE5V
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNImMqrGdE
Fubuki has gotten stronger, it is true.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55pXA8kqg5
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc2O0vHKyd
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLciLcQ7Wfu
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwkEPC7TvF
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlBwwXaVSu
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZUlPnJ8B8
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-
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlbt09gmn9
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdxWHBRD2Q
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSFOhbmf2z
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f1iBLB2yF
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgc5HIVh3h
The temperature drops considerably as she allows her psychic power to-
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsJ2Ukkpuv
It was as if a bomb dropped, but considering the green glow, Fubuki knew who it was.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNhdmPvQKs
The creatures were turned into paste by an enraged Tatsumaki.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaOq87LywT
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcixSteE7k
Tatsumaki: “Leave.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZHFv7atgc
Fubuki: “Huh?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Pv3OR2Xg
Tatsumaki: “You’re in the way!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGEB5DQjDz
Fubuki: “What!? I’m-”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa675G6GGKM
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!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwXxrACXYr
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NRlebgW6Y
The power that was building up left her body, and she felt ready to collapse.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAlKtUNo30
Fubuki: “Big sis… am I still…?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSnsmp6Wxz
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YXw0o7Ox
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKv0AUgPVK
First, it was racing here after feeling Izuku in abnormal amounts of pain.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO4QQlmNVY
Second, it was being forced to let the man who nearly took her brother away escape.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Ud1ClZkW
Third, it was the unexpected struggle of fighting this centipede. Even targeting internal organs wasn’t slowing it down much.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KjJ4HhAgm
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2tzDK9KPo
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ433i8eQfJ9
This all comes together to make one very frustrated Tatsumaki.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fGzHptdU2
Tatsumaki: ‘This ends now.’
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy0WpvZaDg
She rushes back to the recovering centipede, who was looking at Kiri and Akashi like snacks. Not on her watch.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ACGrKb3M2
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKrBT6LN6c
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kYCYH2vE2
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQdbAH9fwD
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhc1WhuLto
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7TRygL4hH
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vRHWBe32w
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf1prbXhOc
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGt5Rg3eov
It felt… strange to be running low. Surely, this was enough. Surely, the other heroes could handle the other one. She can rest.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Dmdx0Pfh
Tatsumaki: “No… never.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRFNaYHWIG
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT9PUshdJd
So she inhales a large volume of air and flies off, if a bit slower than usual.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8LJwNn7NG
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6SVy0Boj1
Endeavor has to admit, despite how much he dislikes Tornado, her power is undeniable. In some respects, it’s more impressive than All Might.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1G1mtjerW
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLCHOddWHQ
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmsXkapuq5
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6WC9e1Zhs
So it ran, slithered away from its doom.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JIbZvWv2f
Endeavor: “Don’t let it escape!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmZuwOpmdI
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CbhNx1QGh
Endeavor: ‘No! We can’t let it get-’
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgqvTreBwT
A large explosion echoed in the air, and carried alongside it was a familiar word.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak6B6q1MCL
SMASH!
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0sGPdj2cd
It would seem fate would mock him regardless.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8q1dqEoN7
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKBUoAaiVB
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2UicNpdl6
Uraraka: “Midoriya! Ida! Are they… ”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiIMPSU1dv
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH8nZRjeqd
Momo: “Izuku will be fine; he just needs rest. Ida though… ”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1B1r2fjJo
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRniVUuGsv
Tokoyami: “Fiends… ”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLIyVZgE40
Dark Shadow: “Vengeance… ”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxe5ZwQ6TQ
Uraraka: “Who did it. Was it him?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9WYGoyFny
With a glare that Bakugo would be proud of, she looked to the still unconscious Hero Killer. Despite that, Todoroki was standing close by.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArxXgPP9zx
Todoroki: “No, Ida was like that before Yaoyorozu and I arrived.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniMLjpXKya
Momo: “I think it was the one who Izuku fought. His sister was the one who saved Izuku from him.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6rXa7DmG7
Kirishima: “Then he’s as good as caught, right?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHQmPkVWsY
Momo: “I hope so.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ry8OCz5s6
Todoroki: “We should get moving. It seems like one of the quirk beasts was defeated.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4BLdqxJg1
The group turned to see the aftermath of the fight and what Tatsumaki did to the creature.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvse05jHTRP
Uraraka: “Scary… ”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQJGerjJSJ
Todoroki: “Their whole family is.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKApPWAkdzO
Kirishima: “Haha… yeah. Speaking of, where is Tae?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ83uNaRQB
Momo: “Don’t worry, she’s safe. She can handle herself.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeNVcvD2OD
Kirishima: “Heh, you’re probably right. I hope the pros can get everyone together. That way I can stop worrying.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTE56870IO
Uraraka: “Me too. I hope Emory and that child is alright.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XXqojfGUP
Todoroki: “Everyone, we need to move. Now!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUeoL9pt1y
Hearing the urgency in the boy’s voice, the group turns to see what has gotten Todoroki worried.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtJqJQJbjw
It was the last centipede, damaged though it may be, running towards them.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaLiiOXvlZ
Kirishima: “Seriously!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6zbVgtKv6
And it was fast.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmiv0B75Wm
Izuku wasn’t awake and couldn’t lift everyone.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ713yWoOMZN
Momo: “Uraraka! Can you-”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05QxKFJTaC
Uraraka: “I… don’t have the strength to get everyone out.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhmrvteiqU
Momo: “T-Then jetpacks! I’ll make one for everyone!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGfloviVGi
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2O4S3iNZg
Not wanting to get permission, the two run towards the oncoming death train.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7hW0DVIhj
Momo: “Todoroki! Tokoyami!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWdPncedaJ
Kirishima: “Damn it!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNkG10hxQh
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…
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHrPItlh67
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gd9qV6HXu
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa5VZ0Syxl
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9FuFlPDRS
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2xFPhuheT
Todoroki supercharges his ice, enough to create a glacier to dwarf the one made in the tournament.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmCsa3z1hY
Within moment, all will be-
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmHmPuvDFF
All Might: “Well done, young ones!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFJy6LIV7c
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtjsxybcL9
Why?
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp1NYojDkg
All Might: “Because I am here!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyMbanURRj
The number one hero appears before them with a fist reared back.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FwfTtXuDR
All Might: “Detroit… SMAAAAAASH!!!”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlcBPwJnco
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBLS2BMx29
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPmIcH146R
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP95p62dpK
But only All Might knows that even this is not his best.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMtvpQwqOD
All Might: ‘I could have made it here faster if I was at my prime… ’
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii6vGcZWBQ
Regardless, the battle was now over. The crisis resolved with one punch.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuo0FLCqtO
Todoroki: “All Might… ”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1YTVlqDTa
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.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBcIAU0f5a
Todoroki: “Right.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuL7M83UFO
Tokoyami: “Thank you, All Might.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMKG3eKuAZ
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3dT8eOh5I
Meanwhile, Momo breathes a sigh of relief. But deep down, she wonders how much this will lessen All Might’s time as a hero.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcnD4b4KXO
But for now, it was over. Now all that remains is the aftermath.
