It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpb08dNoIT
Izuku wasn’t registering the villain's words, all that consumed him was the sight of his little sister being strangled to death by this monster.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRzxcz6nU2
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rIwbt9bYk
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MiOl0kJc6
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJsfbKrNrl
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7X4WizSPO
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5JIgIE2fn
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqw59lHPHt
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cnB9uAHVT
And murder those who would threaten them.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb7JsojuVK
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38a4rETQOR
Two locks of his hair raised up like demonic flaming horns. But unlike before, these remained as he lifted his hand to end his enemies.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhixPNEWUFs
Tomura: “Nomu!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJeSKSuJFz
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ispuRzkA
Thankfully for him, Nomu quickly launched a heavy blow against Izuku. Prioritizing defense, Izuku brought up his shield just in time. Still, the blow was enough to send him flying.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKTWg18x8g
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9k1haenuI
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly4n7FT7Zg
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxOpELnKqX
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTkiLKlM5Y
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxFEYXVAiP
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Bb50yv8i
Kurogiri: “I have incapacitated her; however, I’m afraid the students whom I could not scatter impeded me. And she was therefore able to escape with her life.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hbf9Bogst
Tomura: “…Huh?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtATSNrKX0N
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4j00pDJaz
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jPYlviio6
Tomura: “And if one of those brats left to get help, we’ll lose. Especially if Tornado comes here. It’s game over… for now. Get our strategist, and we’ll hop back.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo51BtVglj
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyDaoVbU9G
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BQqn5jhp4
Tomura smiles as he turns to the still-shocked Tsuyu. Not only was the scene before bad enough to nearly make her hyperventilate, but then what happened Izuku…
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMNauioQeA
She has the abilities of a frog and also their instincts, the instincts of an animal. What she felt from Izuku was like being next to an apex predator. No… something far more primal and ancient than that.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj21y5XNE6N
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgEWT5Hh7g
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFVENKya12
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlnZKB4nb8
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OYjDiqUUA
Tomura: “Now what?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcRazNZ6NP
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FPDFWIVXW
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgnhscLjUo
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXCVcIaMjY
Her skin was on fire.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaJ6aetkAS
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaIz8Q6gJM
Something was wrong, and it was affecting her. The desire to rip and tear every living thing around, to offer their broken bodies to her green sun, was filling her mind. She could even feel her body morphing into something more monstrous.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO04o5b0Bz
But she knew this wasn’t her and certainly not her brother, right? Regardless, she fought it down and got up. She won’t let these villains hurt her classmates.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6owrQJXONI
She didn’t notice their faces painted by fear of what she looked like now. It didn’t matter; she had a job to do.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vc2AXTJBp
Kiri: “Asui!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyca0hKB2e
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gu9jKFBOw
Finally snapping out of her terror-induced stupor, Tsuyu looks at Kiri. Or more like in her general direction; she couldn’t stand to look at her.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuXxBaLPPC
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92938HLykw
Tsuyu hesitated for a few seconds, wondering if she could even help him. But whether she wants to or not, it isn’t her choice to make.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0iv12CAf6
Kiri: “NOW!!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXqNMDLfpC
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGc0mQWHDE
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BF2v4JgNF
Tomura: “What… are you?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsHMXEB9B9
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiKDhvQvxf
Kiri: “A hero.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoj5r5yyqL
She bursts into action with a fist ready to deliver a near-fatal blow to the leader. But this snapped the two villains out of it.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQvQMqHKtD
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDjNlylbk
Kiri suddenly feels her blow get redirected to her face. An explosion of green smoke erupts from the impact, but she growls it off. She won’t let this stop her, so Kiri dashes to the left and then forwards to Tomura.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8vAxKJ7cx
Unable to keep up, Kurogiri was not able to create another gate in time. So that allowed Kiri to deliver a vile uppercut to Shigaraki. If he didn’t dodge at the last moment, he wouldn’t have a head. But the wind pressure of the attack did knock the severed hand off his face.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IgidIauMA
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX0VfCHNjL
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuZTQ9wkWT
Tomura: “…No.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJxW921t9z
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRLC2XzitF
Tomura: “I want to strangle our strategist for giving us such a poor game guide. But… even I have to admit he couldn’t have predicted this.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHzriYPahm
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tj05p81RF
He had to cut his words short as Kurogiri quickly transported himself and Tomura a few feet away. All to dodge an incoming green and white meteorite.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcBUBz9aRM
Its impact was heavy enough to cause a small crater and mushroom cloud of green smoke. Out of that smoke emerged an even more monstrous Kiri.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjH0fyIZhV
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPxLonCZuK
She grabs her hand, trying to keep this fury under control. But her vision starts to blur as her mind is consumed with only one thing.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkZggZBbvb
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuiUvHaYzw
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvwasD041I
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqhBJ5GS81
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JqFqaxIsx
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycXZDivQpP
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnn1jO1Lxd
The explosive boy was not grinning like a madman. Yeah, he was happy to finally get a chance to deal with that misty bastard, but this was too serious of a situation.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhkNVPQGtc
So he worked fast. He sent an explosion into the mist, quickly working out where the main body was and grabbing it. Then he slammed it into the ground, hand ready to end it if need be.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4qtvBTMfR
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Ak76nTzP
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TFQ3270zU
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWHCaejckQ
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1IfG9luQ
She couldn’t hold it back anymore, her hand reached out for Kirishima. To outsiders, it would seem like she was going to caress his face, but in reality, her hand sought his neck.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWIIyBi1jN
But luckily, for whatever reason, her form suddenly reverted to normal. The abrupt change in states was too much; Kiri’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomy8q3mgLQ
It was only due to a miracle that her form didn’t dissipate and return to Izuku’s mind. Or maybe… it was too much of a hazard to return to right now.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SNsKSaCw9
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjuEmOm05e
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FAAiHBQaR
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlXLStA9Qn
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgDtNLHB6c
After the blow landed by the Nomu, he was sent flying over the sea and landed in the city zone. The black creature arrives shortly after and tries to deliver a fatal blow from above.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXhwbOxbKm
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTatbUnw4X
Izuku: “Kneel!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bnkHrw4Bt
It does so, like a good mindless monster. Izuku creates a Psi-Sword, not out of his tie, but out of thin air. It crackles with white lightening and emerald flames born from screaming stars.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZmNYCzNGj
The Nomu breaks out the telekinetic control in time to avoid a beheading, but not enough to avoid a slash across the chest. Good thing too, it can easily heal that.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fUeDiooA0
The moment of shock from Izuku was enough for the creature to deliver a ground-shaking blow to the boy’s head. But instead of an exploding head as expected, its attack was stopped by a pinpoint-accurate shield.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudGonHp8aN
Then the impossible happened; the Nomu was punched in the face. Normally, due to its shock absorption quirk, it wouldn’t feel much. But this punch was heavy and filled with something more than pure strength.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TaEaBq1hp
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe65HNw9cm9
Nomu attempted to get back up but was kicked back into the ground by Izuku. He teleported above the creature and dive-kicked into its chest.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnk3lRyrBk
Unleashing all of his built-up fury and hate, Izuku delivered blow after blow into the embedded Nomu. All the while, a question was beating inside his head.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35trr1bmuE
Izuku: ‘Why?’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1YSNiGDMX
Another blow to its face.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNuN5ElUjQ
Izuku: ‘Why?’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLZcUv0GZf
Another blow to its brain.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr6iJzyNGa
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp576Kd573
Another blow to its body.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y8iY5FOfs
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3eHZvTyPX
Another blow to its neck.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx6NHF55WV
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNN1oH6pT0
That’s when Izuku could feel a sickening smile creep onto his face. Seeing this, Nomu grabs Izuku’s cape and slams him into the ground next to him.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78o8ncDXS8
Capitalizing, Nomu gets up and starts hammering Izuku into the ground. But it amounts to nothing but a stream of fire from Izuku’s maw engulfing Nomu’s face. That moment of sudden pain gave the mysterious boy the chance to cut off the legs of the creature.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXJBVKXfri
Nomu falls back while his legs begin to heal, but not fast enough. Izuku sends a powerful wave of psychic force that propels Nomu back into the streets.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3y1ctqW1u
Flying after him, Izuku collapses the nearby buildings and flings the debris into the recovering Nomu. The creature punches the assault away or tanks it, which only excites Izuku further.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmitsaqnd0
Continuing his charge while continuing to destroy the city around him. The coming clash, the smell of battle and carnage. It was too much; Izuku gave in to the infernal sensation.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwo5Y5GMLD
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruavFu2sT9
He crackles like a madman as the two monsters clash in a flurry of blows. Some of the esper’s darkest impulses are brought to bear. No longer is he concerned with killing the Nomu, not yet anyway; he wants to make it suffer. He wants to drink deep the fear he can sense growing in the mindless creature.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2fBXcxIlg
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0XsrptGvV
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUrCJNEiR2
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MBLUVkXDE
The Nomu is a mindless artificial human; it shouldn’t feel or think anything. But for some reason, it does. There’s something in those eyes; no, there is more than one thing in there.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFtrFN8N5j
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1zdKmUxG9
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIssDSuwUY
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzSwl65g8j
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaMhl0VASX
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UgGF9SGcM
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6vKZ3JyJf
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0atB48r5V
He uses another force blast to send the Nomu flying back and then shapes his sword into a curved design. Taking a strange stance, Izuku begins to swing the sword in elegant arcs.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKHB9bAfgh
Each swing sends a spear of energy into the body of the Nomu. When a few dozen of these green lances graced that scared body, Izuku ends the dance.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB3RThJ5ns
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLD3KkeuuL
A green fiery explosion erupts from the body of the Nomu. It was enough to blow off its left arm and severely damage its chest and legs. But that wasn’t the real problem, no.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhDGau78oG
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavBLE27cRM
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0le9mFHk5
Izuku smirks, admiring his work while walking towards the whimpering beast. Every step burnt the ground beneath his feet, causing smoke to follow him wherever he walked.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsFOCk8DxU
Izuku: “I think I finally understand why Bakugo bullied me. It’s… fun. Having this power over you feels… euphoric. Especially since I know you deserve it. I wonder how it will feel when I pay back Bakugo for everything he has done to us. I can hardly wait.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAn1xkYc23
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRR1LsArRa
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSFfUNdf5B
Izuku condensed his Psi Sword into a fine point within his palm. After a moment, the energy in his palm started to look like several small green stars.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8odJyOXkG
He points it at the Nomu.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF4zv1SYwl
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxV7OsPEl3
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQoMgMuIVS
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM5V9ZwyrM
Izuku: “Huh?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpCevG5b9e
Then he begins coughing heavily, splashing spots of blood onto his palm. The flaming horns recede, and the power he once held disappears. Izuku drops to his knees in pain, his whole body alight with agony.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFxCxtYit7
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0IqeMY1d
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITGiO7XZZB
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPyP3GPltJ
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTo7OumdIV
How could something like that be a hero? A true hero isn’t supposed to revel in rage and bloodshed like that. They’re not supposed to be excited at the idea of killing or revenge.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAWHsGC7w0
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjTR6bMux1
This inner turmoil wasn’t lost on the Nomu. The fear that consumed him slowly eroded. This was its chance. Carefully, it got up and approached the kneeling boy.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLr896KbEY
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptnMkD7srD
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMDjp3u4iF
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uq1d9OEDY
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJbY2PJViO
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHle7WguyY
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fstTVq87D
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV8Zhf0RIc
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPhQJwgQJd
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SKdbMWOfm
They were in quite a stalemate. Fubuki was quick enough to dodge most of his attacks, and Apotheosis was smart enough to not give her any ground.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dq96Xbknc
But this couldn’t go on forever. Fubuki was getting tired, and Apotheosis was running out of power cells. So, they both decided to end this with one final charge.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh3lRDua2M
Apotheosis pops in the last of his power cells and increases his shields to one hundred percent. He doesn’t think it will help, but on the off chance, it might stop her telekinesis.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZacfAiel4e
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8g0Nd5KHg
Within moments, the deciding second arrived. Fubuki strained her eyes to find where the shield generator was but came up empty. Within that instant, she made the hard choice to just crush everything around his waist.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezshmMc8or
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGT3sgXkGm
He fired.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5qae8nRu
She crushed.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QYImn8RVP
He screamed in pain as he felt his body armor being crushed into his skin. The sound of broken ribs echoed in his ears; the pain was enough to miss the shoot. But not by much.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uzc8HzDwa
Fubuki screamed in pain as she felt the skin on her shoulder burn away due to the energy beam. But more than that, the force was enough to dislocate it and send her flying back.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zj5wEhN2k
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU75rYFW5fm
Exhausted, Fubuki grabbed her shoulder and tried to get back up from the awkward fall. But the pain was breaking her focus and therefore her power.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jyHe2U7pj
The winner is Apotheosis.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhapGKrWSG
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGP0DCwUZF
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUe5ollOFG
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyWXFSDulB
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1FjRVczSl
Apotheosis: “Nice try sister, but I guess I’m just better than you. Don’t worry though; know that I will take good care of our brother and that bitch you call a sister.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR29mjjXtB
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7lF9DuIw7
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR16z4LXIE
Her hair whips up, and her eyes flare blue as the ground beneath them breaks apart. Instinctually, Fubuki sends psychic waves right into the mind of Apotheosis.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTO8ymgIIN
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcGzZIwyRl
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDZbb9JIz2
His father.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWT2I32xyJ
The beatings.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBldF2n06T
The weakness.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7cBIfnutA
The rejection
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PJQ8lSXRh

Apotheosis: “Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!”

Granting his wish, Fubuki raises and uses a two-handed psychic blast to send him tumbling into some fallen trees. But she wasn’t done, she rose into the air and unleashed her signature attack.

The ground rumbles, and the cold air listens.

Fubuki: “Hell Storm!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjCy3VrG4h
Instantly, a large tornado formed around Apotheosis. Dragging in rock, dirt, and even the fallen trees into this death trap. His screams of anguish were drowned out by the roars of the wind.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJRokhrWEm
A few seconds later, the tornado dissipates as Fubuki descends back to the ground. She stands tall, ready to continue the fight and defeat this blight on her family.

As for Apotheosis, he emerges from the smoke still standing but severely damaged. His clothes were in tatters, his precious armor cracked, and even his face mask was destroyed. If his shield wasn’t destroyed before, it was now.

Apotheosis: “You… you’ll pay for making me relive that.”

But before the battle could continue, they both froze. Something has happened, but they both came to different conclusions.

Apotheosis: “There’s only one person that could have a quirk level over a hundred. Damn it, I need to get to Tomura. We’ll settle this later.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqCWiEbcjX
Apotheosis runs off to not only get more data from All Might but to save Tomura if he needs it. Lord knows, that out of the three of them, he gets into more trouble.

And if Fubuki tried anything, he still has his Trap Foam. Fortunately, Fubuki let him go.

Why?
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCL4LbWq12
Because she knew who the true source of this power was.

Fubuki: ‘But how?’

Even with the Psychic Disruptor still on, she can sense Izuku’s power. But it was all wrong; it was twisted and dark. Nothing like what it should be.

Her brother’s psychic signature was warm and inviting. This was anything but. However, it was still clearly her brother, and he needed her help.

Fubuki: ‘Izu…’

So she pops her shoulder back in place with her quirk, runs to wherever he might be, and prays she’ll make it in time.

There are a lot of references in this chapter. If you noticed them, great, but don’t mention it in the comments. It’s not blatant enough to warrant me having to say which fanfics (or more so other verses) I’m adapting yet.

I want to keep it a secret for now. So don’t ruin the surprise. But by all means, give your thoughts in a vague way.
