All For One will win; he always wins. That wouldn’t change just because Blizzard and All Might head his way.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXkvIGzh50
This fact was held in utter confidence by Azrael. Victory was assured with Sensei around. So it didn’t matter if Azrael played with his food a bit.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdq3Kg0j9S
Well, playing was a bit much. He was fighting two of the top five strongest heroes.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSMPq6NVTn
Their skill was on full display in this 5v1, and yet Azrael was more than holding his own.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdfuOF1HMB
A transformed Mountain Ape slams the ground Azrael was just on. Still in the midst of dodging, an opening was made for Edgeshot to appear behind him, sword at the ready.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrOmmcraDg
But thanks to his fight with Izuku before, he was ready. But the color that erupted from his prize wasn’t green but dark purple, curtsy of Theo’s reverse engineering. Lightsaber met polished steel, the result being obvious.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVdwN9I6Be
Edgeshot evaded the laser follow-up and allowed the rest to fill in his space in the battle. Trying once more, Best Jeanist uses his quirk to bind Azrael’s body.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hZReeccdO
Even if it’s for a second, this gives the four melee fighters a chance to close in from all directions. But Azrael holds his breath and shoots up using the Jet quirk.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjlv3w3ACi
Before most of those below can react, Azrael summons four purple dragons from his back. Free from the binding, he unleashes magenta lasers onto his foes.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPXY7miBjT
Best Jeanist pulls Mountain Ape and Lily out of the way. Eyelashes and Edgeshot got out of the way by themselves. But that didn’t stop the lasers; they focus and follow Best Jeanist and those he aided, forcing Mountain Ape to tank the blast.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTUmgiqMnE
Before his skin starts to boil, Edgeshot uses his quirk to turn himself into razor-sharp cloth aimed at Azrael’s head. It won’t be lethal, but it will knock him out.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUIBztsP7l
Or it would have if Azrael didn’t strike them both with lightning. Azrael takes it no problem, but Edgeshot is forced to the ground, body smoking.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpJjJnZSPb
Azrael: ‘He won’t be out for long.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7Ug4bOAQZ
Without turning, he slashes to the side with the lightsaber, an attack Eyelashes barely dodged. But he didn’t dodge one of the purple dragons, which flung him into a building with its massive bulk.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgTVrb4azx
Despite this, as soon as Azrael touched the ground, the man was on him again. This time, his quirk was activated. The hair on his brow enlarged into something more feral, while his eyes became wide and blue.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIJc5fafZZ
Faster than normal, Eyelashes engages Azrael in a lightning-quick melee. His eyes never leave his enemy as he dances with death with every lightsaber swing.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjueYaG8oE
Azrael: “Your eyelashes become really pronounced when you use Focus Fringe, almost distracting.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyCm6sbgaO
But he is no common criminal that would be distracted by the strange look and intense gaze. He evades the clever attempt at a finger hook, using it as a chance to lunge. But it doesn’t land; nothing does when Eyelashes is like this.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYvHtDMcnL
But as proven by the falling hair from his brow, this won’t last long. Best Jeanist uses his quirk to wrap around Azrael, finally tripping him up.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MX4SgfL6J
Eyelashes & Edgeshot: ‘Now!’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBGZYVyJmx
From the front and back, Azrael is cornered. The purple dragons emerge from his back against Edgeshot, but he easily dodges them.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb59V89mZ4o
Eyelashes evades the next lightsaber swing and aims his weapon at Azrael’s face. Before long, both gambits land.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDWza2spYj
Azrael’s head is blown back from the fierce uppercut by Eyelashes’ curved batons while Edgeshot stabs his flattened hand into Azrael’s brain, cutting off blood flow. That instant was enough for Edgeshot to take the lightsaber from Azrael.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq97TqTIAt
Taking no chances, Best Jeanist fully wraps Azrael in denim cloth and tightens it. The result was a living wrapped mummy.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiGBr6X30r
Lily: “Is it… over?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgo14CCrqK
She says while leaning over the still smoldering Mountain Ape.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreeq0EKeLl
Azrael: “Of course not.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nhti7NA7M
Black lightning surges out from the mummy, burning the cloth trapping it, and revealing a barely damaged man.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgkDpiIelF
Azrael: “All that and barely a scratch. Even Midoriya managed to do more damage to me. But I suppose you all don’t have quirks suited for the job. Oh wait, doesn’t that mean you should wait for someone who does?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOdPsK33vN
Edgeshot: “And just let you cause further damage? No, we won’t do that.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9zUXzB1Fb
Azrael: “It hasn’t stopped you all before, I’m sure. Passing off the responsibility to someone else you think is more qualified.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEsQqlE8mf
Tired of his words and actions, Lily gets up and points her staff at him.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZpn5QfjLP
Lily: “Shut up! You are nothing but a deranged villain who enjoys hurting people! You’re just trying to trick us into letting our guard down.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRadQNIqOjv
His eyes narrow and twitch.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS5Zgeks7C
Azrael: “Is that what you think?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe5DPXSqur
Lily: “Yes! And we’re going to bring you down, because that’s what heroes do!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTrymx9hNK
That did it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL4Mru99XE
Azrael: “HEROES!!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4rU1K14Iu
An explosion of black lightning erupts from his body, electrifying all within the city street. But the lightning didn’t burn; no, it revealed something more.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2ldh4Rd9Y
Azrael: “How dare you call yourself that. When you know nothing!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTcccfcgJY
Coursing through the lightning were memories transmitted as electric signals to the brains. It told of a story, one that was spun 70 years ago when quirks weren’t broadly accepted.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy77ckGF3WE
There was a scientist who presented his theory and warning to the government. It came in two forms.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMy1192wnM
First, the quirk transference for social equity. No more quirkless, no more random distribution of power, no more destructive quirks that only cause harm. Everyone would have a fair share and more peaceful lives.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgdGVnCrSG
The second was the Singularity Theory. The end result of the quirk mutation. It was suggested that quirks would grow stronger over time, eventually reaching a point of such power and complexity that they would be uncontrollable. The end of us all.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqEeC56DBT
However, what the government and Public Safety Commission at the time did was belittle his ideas, even banishing him from his career and society.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrLxbT0cvC
But in truth, they just wanted control! They ripped him off his project and began working on his first theory. Not to help others, but to create living weapons. But they weren’t as brilliant as the scientist, so the procedure became nothing more than a Russian roulette.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZxXhnJiaj
The same applies to the second theory.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApRunmImUm
The Singularity wasn’t something to delay or prevent, but something to control. The ultimate tool of domination.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hgPXEXOaH
And what is the result of that hubris?
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpgNEslIPY
More images appear: a faceless woman sitting across from a faceless man in a cafe. She makes a deal to transfer her quirk to her son, one who was so desperate to be a hero, to fulfill his one and only dream.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIKdbw1ZFn
But after being rejected by his idol, ridiculed by his peers, and chastised by the public for actions not so different from Izuku’s, he was ready to give up.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1v6jsnL9E
The mother was desperate and so made a deal, one that caused the devil to smile.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu7a1F3BnK
The result of the procedure was obvious.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5SybFGckY
Azrael: “IT FAILED!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tAronnaj
The dream shatters, and only blood remains.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkJjMvNdm
Azrael: “They didn’t care to help the boy; they just needed a consensual specimen to test on!! The doctor and sensei tried their best to save her, but it was too late!!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAANOpsMOJ
The boy who was forced to become a man trembles as the ground shakes in tune with his growing fury.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbkYmb1rZ9
Azrael: “You are no heroes! What you protect is nothing more than a disgusting, rotten society!! What you do is just throw your fist at those you condemn as villains!! And you dare question why we do what we do!! How else will anything change!!? You won’t fight the government, the corrupt Public Safety Commission, or the pretenders who are worse than us.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb7g2vPHWt
Tears start to form.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpeUrmMMjk
Azrael: “You say you want to protect and save people. But you won’t and didn’t save Tomura, Theo, Toga, Spinner, Twice, Dabi, Compress, Mustard, Magne, Kota, or my mother!! You won’t save those who fell through the cracks or were born different!! Do we not matter!? Does my mother, Nozomi Akirame, not matter! ANSWER ME! YOU FAKE HEROES!!!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNCqNRdcN7
The angel’s spirit trembles, the sky bellows, and the world looks into the watery eyes of one who is broken.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljESIk8D6I
And only one truly understands.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkfSxlkGd1
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMJf9zPzwg
Tatsumaki was too busy with the delicate chaos to fully block the black lightning. So she also witnesses the past of Azrael.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqtAOsuuzg
To her growing unease, the woman found she could relate to and understand the villain.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMjLxQ37tz
She was used in experiments by her father, no less. She too could have gone down that same road if her mother and sister were gone.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEeGdhjOqs
No.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjK19b7WYD
She would have become something far worse. Having her family is the only thing keeping her sane.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xSXuwMQT7
So if they were taken from her like that, then the whole world would pay for it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjx9NMstEG
Tatsumaki: ‘I understand… ’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TyLFYhqaM
Which makes it all the more important that she needs to get this done. Tornado wasn’t blind to her brother’s pain; she felt it all.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnypYSFoBJT
If she didn’t trust her sister and All Might, she may have just abandoned these kids. Still…
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVGGgwQvrn
Tatsumaki: ‘What’s taking them so long!?’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdILEWyHbq
Ignoring the large explosion that signaled the continuation of the other battle, Tatsumaki focused further on the task at hand. A task made so much harder with the corrupted Kaoru interfering with her own psychic power.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWIDsYiq4c
Twirling out of the way of a psychic blast, Tatsumaki flung her away and blocked a wave of purple acid from Mina.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Ri6D22Kc
Tatsumaki: ‘I almost got it… please… hold on… Izu.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXQv0xTdDf
Dodging above the large explosion of hardened blood from Vlad King.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9UMYy5ZZ9
Redirecting Sero’s tape to tangle with Ibara’s hair.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyt6f2hH94
Forcing Setsuna to not break apart using her quirk.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXosB6gJ80
Containing Kaminari’s near-constant outbursts of lightning that threaten everyone.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Ik7XnwTL
This and more is what Tatsumaki has to deal with, leaving little time to focus on the main goal.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5toUiN0Edk
But this is the Tornado of Terror they’re dealing with. Every second counts, and eventually she knew how to separate the human from the nomu. At least for one of them.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyovmtgBSVu
Blocking another psychic scream from Kaoru, Tatsumaki grabs Pony and goes high into the sky. Before Kaoru can awkwardly follow her, the woman does her job.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZUgYS4rkW
Ignoring the barrage of horns pelting her shield, the hero does mental surgery. Within moments, a naked Pony is ripped from the nomu ooze.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcVtSZQDZc
Tatsumaki: “Yes!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTVq46mIAt
Quickly, she protects her and Pony from Kaoru before slapping the annoying girl back to the Earth. After that, she keeps Pony in a powerful barrier before going back down.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07l6iqmD5p
Each of them won’t be the exact same, but now it won’t take so long. And once she’s done here, a building-sized present will be waiting for whoever hurt her brother.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwLPsw97d
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XnJoAvWjY
Lily should have kept her mouth shut. After learning more about Azrael, she couldn’t help but feel for the guy.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM8gg9RC2q
But that sentiment is doing nothing for her right now. Clearly, he was just having fun with them before.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVzzOdrJ8r
Edgeshot and Eyelashes were down but still conscious. Best Jeanist was still in the fight, but only barely.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YhacJNPxO
Mountain Ape has become a stress ball at this point. And her?
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Leu1CINvX
Backhanded and slapped aside like she didn’t matter. Clearly on purpose. Whenever she tried to help, she was cast aside.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58t1M2NIVN
Crawling out of her third pile of rubble, she comes out to the sight of Mountain Ape getting beaten half to death. Azrael’s attacks don’t care he’s blocking, and he overpowers any restraining attempt by Best Jeanist.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4arTVOd9E
Frustration and rage build as she watches the display, causing the white flower on her head to start to bloom.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmqQjxj0La
Eyelashes: “NO! Calm down, Lily!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb3So7knNW
Snapping out of it, she wills the flower to close. Unless she wants everyone here to die horribly, she better calm down. So she takes a breath and prepares to charge again with her staff.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuUZhabz9J
But then-
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1ATKmIvZ
Bakugo: “DIE!!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlWF4ujNk7
A human rocket collides with Azrael’s back, taking his attention away from the bloody Mountain Ape.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI0Ehjne5N
Azrael: “Mor-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYebaF7SX56
A large glacier explodes to life and freezes Azrael in place, at least for now.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj27N3KIuD
Mandalay: “Is everyone alright!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRg6B5xxpb
From the side come reinforcements, one pro and several students. Seeing this, and the fact that Azrael was trapped for now, the other pros regrouped and took a breath.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY5i4JVXIs
All except for Mountain Ape, who needed Sabrina to carry him with her quirk. But she nearly fails when she sees the kidnapped students fighting Tatsumaki.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I6HQ5vw8c
Shiho: “No… ”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH4wFzkElI
Aoi: “Kaoru… ”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuWvitYNYI
Sabrina: “I’m going to-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEEOOjVG7v
Mandalay: “Focus! You three help Tornado.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoSqnLcjr0
Sabrina: “Don’t have to tell us twice.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwZ6IJGeAV
The three make their way into the other battle, while Mandalay turns to the others she brought.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcI9keEsJ9
Mandalay: “You all will help the pros here hold off or defeat Azrael.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCyHNzJleh
Ida: “U-Understood!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlcRHldNzx
Jiro: “N-No pressure… ”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb5haL5wcU
Mandalay: “As for me, can someone tell me where Kota is!?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfMBYcjEK9
Lily: ‘Thinking back, there was that kid Azrael summoned before fighting us.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhtY3kBvXw
Going to Mandalay, Lily pointed to where she last saw Endeavor.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs6HjoQaEJ
Lily: “I-I think that’s where he is.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDQ0JOdSne
Mandalay: “Thank you. I’ll go there and-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LZRg8qHfh
Eyelashes: “You’re really leaving the kids here?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhc60hhdiZ
Mandalay: “Yes.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMGyAsEkiA
Lily: “B-But they’re just kids.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2a0TTyST1
Mandalay: “Yes, but they are strong.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAckwtqWeM
The ice begins to crack.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2nItvUXXr
Edgeshot: “Go. We’ll make sure they survive this encounter.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbjHLeN5ga
Nodding, Mandalay quickly made her way to Kota. As for this group, they got into a proper formation.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCkuslAndR
Best Jeanist: “I hope you still remember your lessons, Bakugo. This will require your best.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbNASxZtW
The boy only growled as the ice shattered to reveal an enraged Azrael.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb5xxDhHN7
Azrael: “No games, you all die now.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE88qdgQyC7
Straining his body, the angel uses a quirk that will put his heavily modified vessel at the most risk. But it is one of his strongest gifts.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKziBK0C39
Azrael: “Overclock.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNSX7G8pHq
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBiXyH7Roa
It really didn’t take long for Tatsumaki to nearly end things. The only remaining ones were Kirishima, Mina, Kaoru, and Vlad King.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi5xbbU7me
She would have gotten Mina or Kirishima earlier, but one would fight so hard to save the other that it was impossible.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAgwD5tyTA
Tatsumaki: ‘I have to do them at the same time. Perfect… ’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB1rmU13Wn
Kaoru and Vlad King were simply difficult. Kaoru actively resisted her efforts, and Vlad King… he seemed stuck in the form.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dDVYOD4h4
No matter, she’ll keep trying.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vki5WcFym
But things took a turn when Kaoru’s psychic scream was blocked by someone else.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ073pHOm8UU
Tatsumaki: “Who-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8VscJXWtt
Sabrina, Aoi, and Shiho: “Kaoru!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLKoc4CqYJ
Three psychic kids enter the battle.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw469homa5A
Tatsumaki: “I have enough to deal with; get out of here!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlKmPdG6kp
Aoi: “We’re trying to help.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDiW98ww5b
Tatsumaki: “I don’t need it!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnijvujWIj
Shiho: “You’re getting it anyway.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1NJmKltVS
Sabrina: “We won’t leave Kaoru.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Fom5W2cJ
They say while surrounding said girl, who seems… reluctant to attack.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvRZeZprOb
Tatsumaki: ‘So some of their personalities do shine through? I thought it was just some gimmick with the other two.’
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBqnnmsTUE
Not really given a choice, and admitting deep down that the extra help would accelerate the process, Tornado turns to the last three.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Gl05S7Nb
Tatsumaki: “Fine. But make sure you can keep up.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDtQwT4IcC
Sabrina: “We can. Kadabra, I choose you! Help the Tornado of Terror save our friends!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P3kF6CZ0O
The creature emerges out of the ether and flies beside Tatsumaki.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhc9t8r7JZ
Tatsumaki: “Good. You keep Vlad King busy while I deal with those two.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRScSMKXMNb
Plan set, the team dash toward their chosen targets, determined to save them.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEedkjow4F7
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ1aJaJyPM
When Mandalay made it to the last battlefield, her eyes widened from the sight.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSo4da92ft
Mandalay: “Kota… ”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmH87GSEsA
Behind the former villain hideout was an inferno, and in the center were Kota and Endeavor grappling like giants. Somehow, Kota was able to hold his own.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLSwM8w0X0
But to be fair, Endeavor was obviously holding back. He’s not trying to kill the boy. Still, seeing him, even in that form, being punched in the face was enough to make her scream.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPeiUmVKsb
Mandalay: “Stop it!”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRsVxASMlz
Both stop in their tracks to look at who interrupted their fight. The one stunned the most was Kota, mouth hanging open in shock.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9v2J8mDE6
By this point, nearly all the makeup she used to change her appearance has drained from her face. But even if it hadn’t, Kota could tell.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw39ktjbgBA
Endeavor: “What are you-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKCRF12mfU
Mandalay: “Leave him to me, Endeavor. He’s my nephew, and you’re needed to fight Azrael. You’re one of the only ones that can cause permanent damage to him.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzXhUE2LL7
It took a moment, but after seeing the monster child stunned, Endeavor listened and went to where he is most needed. This left Mandalay and a monstrous Kota alone within the burnt remains of a city landscape.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzM7C4Maps
Mandalay: “Kota, honey, what happened? Why are-”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTmJgeI8Ct
The boy backs up and snarls.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpXiQpKayK
Mandalay: “Kota! It’s me! You recognize me, right?”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaQhu48gNu
She can tell he does, but he doesn’t stop growling. So many emotions swirl within those young eyes. Too many to properly name.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc9YnNjQhC
But one was clear, love.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryC1abzNXb
He still looked at her with care. That was all she needed to know.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZJOdQi2xu
Mandalay: “Kota, I will do what I have to for you to come home. If that means I must withstand the rage I failed to notice or heal, then so be it.”
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1KRBO8k53
Taking her own battle stance, the motherly woman prepares for the hardest fight of her life.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRwcALXqDT
Mandalay: “I won’t leave you side again, Kota.”
