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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaQ5f26iRx
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBf0aSO3KZ
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcCULmtySI
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBHWFrdvlU
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMjTzaf5WG
Might as well sell it. She raises her hands and has a bit of fun with it.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HziiEGuHp
Kaoru: “Give me your energy!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HWDXTQXF7
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jn1h9r87W
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwLtzIOZ0f
Seeing devastation, Valkyrie halted her rampage in time to notice Kaoru descending next to her.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4FOxc5oEk
Kaoru: “Hey! Let’s clean the rest of them up and then help the pro heroes out.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJiTCtMAcJ
Sure enough, there were still some remaining creatures left. Valkyrie nods and goes to charge in. But she stopped and looked up.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2f2209Bhu
Kaoru: “What is-”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Npkb2ifJa
Up in the sky, they see Tatsumaki flying off. Thankfully, the large quirk beast was busy recovering from the beating it received.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX29GU22Wb
Kaoru: “Where is she going!?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fsB9B1nIU
Kiri: ‘Onee is… mad.’
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp07Q3gPXE
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1jwb3LmPk
Fubuki has gotten stronger, it is true.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLbDTdx4sg
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01wnQPkXJP
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrVMPzqRQa
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSJw8pEV7s
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcztU3YV2iB
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf74bzW2s4
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-
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUNhAeZuE8
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRcEZXIH8b
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5oYmFE6Lh
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1xSlpFRsS
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HEEKWVLU5
The temperature drops considerably as she allows her psychic power to-
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACImeZ3qV6
It was as if a bomb dropped, but considering the green glow, Fubuki knew who it was.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmkKRka3cr
The creatures were turned into paste by an enraged Tatsumaki.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuboOdpQGX
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSXhjnxI55
Tatsumaki: “Leave.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMxQQgRxbc
Fubuki: “Huh?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SMRcQ2hUm
Tatsumaki: “You’re in the way!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBPWxylotu
Fubuki: “What!? I’m-”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKL3GkvS82
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!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpb7jlquws
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiN3QAPiHa
The power that was building up left her body, and she felt ready to collapse.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpLtsBp5Ck
Fubuki: “Big sis… am I still…?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuzy7UohFo
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNeoYnSsQ3
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sj4Tc9URy
First, it was racing here after feeling Izuku in abnormal amounts of pain.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSq77Rxuxp
Second, it was being forced to let the man who nearly took her brother away escape.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAxuJGc51A
Third, it was the unexpected struggle of fighting this centipede. Even targeting internal organs wasn’t slowing it down much.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p3LmkWRjD
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohXfbwmCoB
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tiar8uydg
This all comes together to make one very frustrated Tatsumaki.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoIC81fVVK
Tatsumaki: ‘This ends now.’
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQymvbnnHZ2
She rushes back to the recovering centipede, who was looking at Kiri and Akashi like snacks. Not on her watch.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIENefVMCh
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOKfGYsEi
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU3oeWLAaH
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLjaafSny6
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9xcYXGjwk
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosUl2NtvGs
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkfKi0JsOo
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhqbO2TJj2
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3OyibEtz9
It felt… strange to be running low. Surely, this was enough. Surely, the other heroes could handle the other one. She can rest.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRpfa9gP3U
Tatsumaki: “No… never.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uzXhuqsng
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrERpInwuf
So she inhales a large volume of air and flies off, if a bit slower than usual.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqJ4NhfbbF
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSxl3xSKqh
Endeavor has to admit, despite how much he dislikes Tornado, her power is undeniable. In some respects, it’s more impressive than All Might.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffdp9Yw8lA
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwSfOB0nJp
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlC6JSIMSF
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39prKDIksJ
So it ran, slithered away from its doom.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J6mci3f4P
Endeavor: “Don’t let it escape!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50FDNX2jbY
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbDIvxcgV5
Endeavor: ‘No! We can’t let it get-’
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AcebdmmFI
A large explosion echoed in the air, and carried alongside it was a familiar word.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJI1PzfsAS
SMASH!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6pDgjacEj
It would seem fate would mock him regardless.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb9KdZ6H5i
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d8gw8lmd6
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FR3fcSAzV
Uraraka: “Midoriya! Ida! Are they… ”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz4uX9rmq1
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSstzfhYXQ
Momo: “Izuku will be fine; he just needs rest. Ida though… ”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrnw0CTTaQ
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgyIYfWeJL
Tokoyami: “Fiends… ”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQIseCSXYy
Dark Shadow: “Vengeance… ”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYEafJILlr
Uraraka: “Who did it. Was it him?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOjlO2itKF
With a glare that Bakugo would be proud of, she looked to the still unconscious Hero Killer. Despite that, Todoroki was standing close by.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMOt2G6Wev
Todoroki: “No, Ida was like that before Yaoyorozu and I arrived.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoIX7dOXgf
Momo: “I think it was the one who Izuku fought. His sister was the one who saved Izuku from him.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaojT7oTAak
Kirishima: “Then he’s as good as caught, right?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWzWGGun5w
Momo: “I hope so.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS689qyCU6h
Todoroki: “We should get moving. It seems like one of the quirk beasts was defeated.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62h6zDj0w5
The group turned to see the aftermath of the fight and what Tatsumaki did to the creature.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt25G7rzwG
Uraraka: “Scary… ”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcFyWr80R4
Todoroki: “Their whole family is.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDIs0sCEza
Kirishima: “Haha… yeah. Speaking of, where is Tae?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHLvVLF9vZ
Momo: “Don’t worry, she’s safe. She can handle herself.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeFoQcAsEm
Kirishima: “Heh, you’re probably right. I hope the pros can get everyone together. That way I can stop worrying.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP9nkbPbsw
Uraraka: “Me too. I hope Emory and that child is alright.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm6M8EO5hF
Todoroki: “Everyone, we need to move. Now!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwdK0i03Fs
Hearing the urgency in the boy’s voice, the group turns to see what has gotten Todoroki worried.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvlzwz5dyv
It was the last centipede, damaged though it may be, running towards them.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBike3Mjb6z
Kirishima: “Seriously!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyaOgCL6eI
And it was fast.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd1wp0axml
Izuku wasn’t awake and couldn’t lift everyone.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRYeScxtnI
Momo: “Uraraka! Can you-”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnuoWolGEw
Uraraka: “I… don’t have the strength to get everyone out.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRMVSwmc4F
Momo: “T-Then jetpacks! I’ll make one for everyone!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRecNWWos4J
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0hCfGmgp2
Not wanting to get permission, the two run towards the oncoming death train.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie64U0Pijm
Momo: “Todoroki! Tokoyami!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NWspTiBW7
Kirishima: “Damn it!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEj6Y5PJ92
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…
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r3agheJiW
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmtg2dj3Eb
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxxejPjklu
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdACafl67G
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl0Y438w3f
Todoroki supercharges his ice, enough to create a glacier to dwarf the one made in the tournament.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMvasyZRYM
Within moment, all will be-
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXG5nLpZVJ
All Might: “Well done, young ones!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg1l6moV6Z
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowJ3l76zpm
Why?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtyIjveHJY
All Might: “Because I am here!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11diOa03Ew
The number one hero appears before them with a fist reared back.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYQQAKaeGN
All Might: “Detroit… SMAAAAAASH!!!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyFiyQxJ0Q
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsLvr5zc6g
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9aNZ7gbCI
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNxWwjlDGC
But only All Might knows that even this is not his best.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaVYplyv3O
All Might: ‘I could have made it here faster if I was at my prime… ’
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgdhzeotQ5
Regardless, the battle was now over. The crisis resolved with one punch.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVdOjXJtby
Todoroki: “All Might… ”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjHuuwRtBI
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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3mhRVWWaq
Todoroki: “Right.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKQuyKSaEn
Tokoyami: “Thank you, All Might.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vEa36shGG
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44OqCMzQzS
Meanwhile, Momo breathes a sigh of relief. But deep down, she wonders how much this will lessen All Might’s time as a hero.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfSFwHmuYl
But for now, it was over. Now all that remains is the aftermath.
