Todoroki thought he was the strongest in the class. It made sense due to his quirk and who his father was. But never before has anyone been so humbled.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhkrPr44XO
It’s a miracle he survived the collateral damage of that climactic fight. He was going to go to the main plaza, but hearing the commotion, he changed his mind. Maybe someone needed his help.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lTASDbUkK
Clearly not.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHQc1oGpkZ
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMUvb3WDEr
But he could tell that it wasn’t Izuku’s normal state. His normal state was the one he was dragging through the broken city. Whatever caused his massive power increase, they can’t rely on it now.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu01Zl6eYC
Especially if it’s anything like his fiery half. Todoroki can completely understand why Izuku might not want to use it. But then, what’s the solution?
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoxJBSoFYj
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIlBeMxEg4
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy17lCDJER
Todoroki: “We can’t keep running forever, and I won’t ask you to use a power you don’t want to. But we need something. Think.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j2VYDL5Lm
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEevj4gcxe
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVS5HFTV4x
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFKiUM8XPw
Todoroki: “I… see.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNps1w2Mwe
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69wAtqEHSn
The boy can still remember the sensation of how to control his destructive fire. If he can replicate that, AND ONLY THAT, then he can win. Because capture is not possible.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasp4ex0Jxh
Izuku: ‘It’s fine. He’s not human, practically a quirk beast. I’m not a villain. I’m not a monster. I’m doing this to survive, not because I like it.’
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWHcMshP0z
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizPRkQX6hi
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6U4caVe2a
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD3W5qIfAA
Todoroki pushes Izuku away as he dodges the Nomu ground smash. Debris is flung everywhere but the two boys are only scratched a bit. Todoroki retaliates by freezing the Nomu once more.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5KIWGL1mE
The creature can break and heal from the damage the ice causes, but not the damage from before. The severity of the wounds Izuku inflicted before refuses to heal.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7EVec7Jpw
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZaovBEdaT
They can do this.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydq9tfKDFn
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLvdgDdh8S
Izuku: “R-Right!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQtfpA9HXG
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMhnRRbadf
He digs deep, reaching for his psychic power and his flames. Like before, the primordial flame erupted into existence. But due to Izuku’s weakened state and the psychic disruptor, it only covered his arms and didn’t hurt as much.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAdESSkPNr
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yvC8Vi3F8
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ih1drInnf
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5DAIBn9YX
He focused all of his will on forcing the flame to obey him, to focus on his hands. It was working, slowly. From his elbow to his wrists. The skin previously burnt was healing due to the softer flames.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8et6sZE35
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2mHq9Wl2j
The pain, however, was getting to him.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVihF3WPUX4
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ie7nIi4sH
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXIFBbO3Bo
He couldn’t open his eyes to see Todoroki overtaxing his ice to keep the Nomu back. He couldn’t open them to see his hands falling apart. It would only distract him and show him just how hopeless this is.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXwlOCYnQq
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9y8etE7Zr
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tbaApTrdy
Suddenly, he felt a cool warmth wrap around him. The flames cool ever so slightly, and his control over it is better. But that was drowned out by his sister’s awful screams.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQOgms2Qq7
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4OdtlHCA0
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWIyq2g2R
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcUEkbztzX
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdLGIEWDG4
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa01jrLDRB9
And so the prince commands and the flame obeys. The flames become cool to Fubuki, as signified by her grunts of pain being replaced by a sigh of relief.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwX3ReEPCX
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRZ8S7pjPj
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykr7aPo62L
Izuku opens his eyes with a green flash to see a nearly free Nomu standing a few feet away, hand reaching out for them. Now or never, the name of this biblical attack appears in their minds.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3v5PrvP2b
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUEMmwvfpd
With the screech of a phoenix, the flame is let loose to bring hell to the royal family’s enemy. The phoenix made manifest swallows the Nomu and consumes it in the roar of an inferno.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVvwg2wZ5V
The creature’s screams of pain are quickly snuffed out. All that’s left is a melted sludge, a mix of the Nomu and the metal beneath him.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhybBrGbheX
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5OJoGlEZe
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYIs3Qjr2r
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqF3t8MCnB
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDdAOLsOV
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypqV1Ivc6
Fubuki: “W-What?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubSOJ4WQH6
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaUy6FcSWn
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEHXJJ4MQg
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyyMjvcjLW
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHddDGsK1QC
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzZI5TIXPR
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EiwPX8t8s
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj3oVd3z7y
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zwnlfvnic
Suddenly, the buzzing stopped, and Fubuki felt like a weight had been lifted. The flickers of fire on Izuku’s wounds burst into a constant flame.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHsOnA0oHP
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZE3JeOpPy
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPKaf54MWt
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs2tekpRXz
Todoroki: “No problem.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe74xqd97l
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ySrG3ke6y
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRV4YdaSZr
Before the phoenix took flight.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQALjoOAmhS
Apotheosis couldn’t help but grumble as he got closer to the central plaza. He failed to kill Fubuki, and now he knows his psychic disruptor is still far from perfect.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiRRHkUgcu
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuS3lnkMDM
He wasn’t. Apotheosis arrives on the scene to see Kurogiri captured and Tomura being pressured by a student with red hair. Worse still, the rest of the goons have been defeated by the teacher and a frog girl.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjLRNnxcQB
At least they did enough damage to have them out of the fight for a moment. A moment is all Apotheosis needs to turn this around. He dashed into the fray and shot a blast at the one who captured Kurogiri.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IQUB50tXt
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc9G5g2PyT
Bakugo: “Wha-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLYD3iZmtZ
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISX3EWR0r6
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOcrdTKact
The boy didn’t question it, he quickly backed away just as Kurogiri and Apotheosis joined Tomura. The frog girl then quickly got the unconscious girl further away from the villains.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKxalSOt7
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX9Q0E8qnj
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFivwKsxIR
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoviepnDXeZ
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsglaXNOY
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaKeynlkso
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9at3wSHB3
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnOQDlJy8a
Tomura: “Not here.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdt9ABlAB4
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyvYivb64l
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds5kIFelGX
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQGxnqAq95
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnIhiNHEsY
Apotheosis could already tell who has delayed, or somehow, defeated Nomu. If Fubuki could surprise him, why not Izuku? But Nomu!? How on earth could he survive that? Was he really the quirk level he picked up?
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FOUgiFVhI
He needs to do more research on his family.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVXT8mEKKS
Apotheosis: ‘I might have focused too much on Tatsumaki. The other two are just as crazy. What’s next? Is their mother secretly powerful as well?’
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KRToxH9qs
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRgeqLvs9Z
Apotheosis: “Don’t I know it? Well, assuming Nomu somehow lost, I suggest we kill these heroes in retaliation and get out of here. We’re not leaving here with nothing.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WibiCV5m6
Tomura: “Agreed.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ty6EGZjE
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSBVB2D6bI
Seeing the villains finally turn to the heroes, Aizawa dragged his body forward and prepared to defend his students. The two groups stare each other down, ready for the final clash.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vyNXnh4cz
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRQxL7twLB
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvDdMdN2W9
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPoplPJXlx
Tomura: “All Might…”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHBrxoDqeg
And he wasn’t alone.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaG4gG1tY5
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR9VUjeR6i
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXboUSfGjX
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDEmGGFT4Q
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuuKjqskZ8
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48H3P2y7Uj
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p2IAMQrMu
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe3UrrRQna
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHgrNsOagD
Apotheosis gets in front of Tomura and aims his power glove at All Might. He’s also ready with the trap foam if needed. But before All Might gets too close, something strange happens.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXCTtPliwa
Sickly mud bursts into existence between the villains and All Might. A gloved hand emerges out of the muddy portal, and the reactions are telling. The heroes are confused while the villains-
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyyEM5cdqY
Tomura: “A continue?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3owMPdTHth
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHTPPr4FOm
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfFryabCUb
The reason for the change of atmosphere stepped out of the mud portal like this was a normal occurrence. He had a clean business suit, messy black hair, and eyes darker than the misty abyss.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRhQ2CrYtK
It was those eyes that really sent chills down everyone’s spines. It was so… empty and cold. His affiliations were also quite clear. He had a face mask similar to Apotheosis. But unlike his, this one was black with straight lines instead of hexagons.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvWscee1mG
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcDCa5DxOM
Apotheosis: “Now that you’re back from your little trip, maybe we can win. At the very least, we should be able to take down some of these so-called heroes.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJULwQD6Wjs
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIlHFzwF46
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sidiKqbgB
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkrb7pcP9B
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IjHopLCnR
Surprisingly, the dead eyes of the newcomer turned to Tomura and Apotheosis and smiled. Unlike the eyes he’ll show to everyone else, these were… warm. But it was only for a second.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjGtbvz2VI
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAayiVjRra
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wi78yqmWO
No one tried to stop them from leaving; how could they? All Might was still stunned by who was before him while everyone else wasn’t suicidal.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0I0dlrkEH
There was something about this man that screamed danger. Only All Might or Tatsumaki could possibly approach him; anyone else would be annihilated. Even Bakugo was slightly shaking in fear.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDlW2x0QKg
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nLfJQCuLq
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p3RJkj5Xt
All Might: “You are-”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcx4W4aMs6
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxytfaH5LN
He looks into the distance and closes his eyes. He feels the young flame that intrigues and frustrates him along with the cool snow. Soon after, he hears the faint sound of the wind. It was time to go.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Irn10KQ5
Azrael: “Seeing that you’re too stunned to fight, I’ll take my leave. Savor the peace you have now, for this was just the beginning.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4FBPVHNl2
With that, the man melted into mud, and silence returned to the plaza. What could be said after what just happened? Dirty past? Our Symbol of Peace?
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1MG3brjxV
But the face All Might was making was no lie; he knew that man. The time for questions was over; however, the heroes needed to regroup and recover.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Es2rLI9jR
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvRQ9vLhQH
Fubuki: “What happened?”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB7Sv1PqVY
Everyone turned to see Todoroki helping Fubuki, who’s helping an unconscious Izuku to the central plaza. Green flames were still licking the wounds on his arms and hands.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PzjFw8ta9
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1U1lHzyrF
Above them all, the usually explosive Tornado was floating down from the glass ceiling. Her expression was cool and calm, but everyone knew she was holding the fury in for now.
388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK4q1iP4Vr
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
