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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lFlkN8m19
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG1QZQZRjw
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDN0OzADAq
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBvf3t5ksZ
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog09OZAGNM
Might as well sell it. She raises her hands and has a bit of fun with it.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHAxxwx3b0
Kaoru: “Give me your energy!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbs5sG1SaI
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNsbh0ONMA
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiCNmCUH03
Seeing devastation, Valkyrie halted her rampage in time to notice Kaoru descending next to her.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NLeMuvLnR
Kaoru: “Hey! Let’s clean the rest of them up and then help the pro heroes out.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyyWPuYo1y
Sure enough, there were still some remaining creatures left. Valkyrie nods and goes to charge in. But she stopped and looked up.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANDrubfP5q
Kaoru: “What is-”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xJTrAqtuk
Up in the sky, they see Tatsumaki flying off. Thankfully, the large quirk beast was busy recovering from the beating it received.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIYvxkWiiT
Kaoru: “Where is she going!?”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NDteYFPuB
Kiri: ‘Onee is… mad.’
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHNaCTCqBN
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4XT3UVUfj
Fubuki has gotten stronger, it is true.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rOSsXI6mP
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV1GauRo2O
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3kqGQICDZ
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmdcOg4a8X
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OWfk24KH3
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMmLP8A1U3
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-
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOtzkp73UA
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xv6rSVXg8
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqe2zBPovB
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdNPaVkq3u
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEMgJVXQQH
The temperature drops considerably as she allows her psychic power to-
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQQ9wRGqXl
It was as if a bomb dropped, but considering the green glow, Fubuki knew who it was.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWTmUunZh3
The creatures were turned into paste by an enraged Tatsumaki.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA123zQiLC
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxMDxZzFwt
Tatsumaki: “Leave.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYrKY4NskL
Fubuki: “Huh?”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1qdOL4xzc
Tatsumaki: “You’re in the way!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxIY8eSr8u
Fubuki: “What!? I’m-”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWT2G2js7h
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!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ApiMSWsfl
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ471gcSfVXJ
The power that was building up left her body, and she felt ready to collapse.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJnEBuyOHf
Fubuki: “Big sis… am I still…?”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYOcnbVDU9
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxhApPUBya
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmyrTZmgUU
First, it was racing here after feeling Izuku in abnormal amounts of pain.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9DYPQ3a4C
Second, it was being forced to let the man who nearly took her brother away escape.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD6JB4lrup
Third, it was the unexpected struggle of fighting this centipede. Even targeting internal organs wasn’t slowing it down much.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GzY8UGHP
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRSgiLW3Rs
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc1TtvWsxf
This all comes together to make one very frustrated Tatsumaki.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArzrqsiQTK
Tatsumaki: ‘This ends now.’
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ySDSXy5sL
She rushes back to the recovering centipede, who was looking at Kiri and Akashi like snacks. Not on her watch.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRWx1VnxfC
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2cRUCqdNo
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWpgVXt45f
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCPphbpkR4
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK44SPS2SX
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvJsJwPPWf
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB6qtjYdRt
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGnzapChic
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzkfsUcvkg
It felt… strange to be running low. Surely, this was enough. Surely, the other heroes could handle the other one. She can rest.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRKxQYv5lC
Tatsumaki: “No… never.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ3D18INe2
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWEyNRtR9F
So she inhales a large volume of air and flies off, if a bit slower than usual.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5eriXAeNF
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QkfeYGN0g
Endeavor has to admit, despite how much he dislikes Tornado, her power is undeniable. In some respects, it’s more impressive than All Might.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT0QA754QL
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEUsD5R0iR
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdlk7cwyrs
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAHjczFXnF
So it ran, slithered away from its doom.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHRzWqKE5q
Endeavor: “Don’t let it escape!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq9Ca0kQQl
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2syMRi87io
Endeavor: ‘No! We can’t let it get-’
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHuU44PU6I
A large explosion echoed in the air, and carried alongside it was a familiar word.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqXhgT2YoG
SMASH!
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8x7cFmQKz
It would seem fate would mock him regardless.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4uGat7NUZ
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQI6tlvOeM
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVyqRCYNrF
Uraraka: “Midoriya! Ida! Are they… ”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQulgc9idx
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfDSEbXOZT
Momo: “Izuku will be fine; he just needs rest. Ida though… ”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMX0veTA2x
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7QdKfzCpw
Tokoyami: “Fiends… ”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4wPCdFu8a
Dark Shadow: “Vengeance… ”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuNYG2fEYC
Uraraka: “Who did it. Was it him?”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhRryr4qgA
With a glare that Bakugo would be proud of, she looked to the still unconscious Hero Killer. Despite that, Todoroki was standing close by.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExxyZmMZ7X
Todoroki: “No, Ida was like that before Yaoyorozu and I arrived.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc9uVNAb1G
Momo: “I think it was the one who Izuku fought. His sister was the one who saved Izuku from him.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJomCYCaUFO
Kirishima: “Then he’s as good as caught, right?”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3lAJpJ28h
Momo: “I hope so.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna3rbsxvhv
Todoroki: “We should get moving. It seems like one of the quirk beasts was defeated.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEm7lUAXPq
The group turned to see the aftermath of the fight and what Tatsumaki did to the creature.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4913FW9Jab
Uraraka: “Scary… ”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodVQncZgr8
Todoroki: “Their whole family is.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAsaFIP93j
Kirishima: “Haha… yeah. Speaking of, where is Tae?”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6zyAXR72i
Momo: “Don’t worry, she’s safe. She can handle herself.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro7poW5VN2
Kirishima: “Heh, you’re probably right. I hope the pros can get everyone together. That way I can stop worrying.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6NBEWnz6J
Uraraka: “Me too. I hope Emory and that child is alright.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mrea8Xl5y
Todoroki: “Everyone, we need to move. Now!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIioAnjTdMZ
Hearing the urgency in the boy’s voice, the group turns to see what has gotten Todoroki worried.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEB6I1j0eb
It was the last centipede, damaged though it may be, running towards them.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jn8l2pB9b
Kirishima: “Seriously!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9X4BLQrtn
And it was fast.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA78XcQ379K
Izuku wasn’t awake and couldn’t lift everyone.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNgGjiB3c0
Momo: “Uraraka! Can you-”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VJofDHlEs
Uraraka: “I… don’t have the strength to get everyone out.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxZMyfHINY
Momo: “T-Then jetpacks! I’ll make one for everyone!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyxLEzNbkj
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8klATEAUcs
Not wanting to get permission, the two run towards the oncoming death train.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4qII6bcSu
Momo: “Todoroki! Tokoyami!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGsVmCtWRn
Kirishima: “Damn it!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm1HHwI7WF
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…
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXE79ZBMOr
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjPylaEZay
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hh6kzN4Ys
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhHlWk3pTP
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1uVYvIUwB
Todoroki supercharges his ice, enough to create a glacier to dwarf the one made in the tournament.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUelUccF3C
Within moment, all will be-
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASPUQjkWLa
All Might: “Well done, young ones!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaWY8gkqho
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHR9lADjLK
Why?
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcazwTQTZJ
All Might: “Because I am here!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ERumsVCGn
The number one hero appears before them with a fist reared back.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox8rQTg0Rr
All Might: “Detroit… SMAAAAAASH!!!”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa18OEzgqU
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqTlqeVHYY
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1gdtj3vvl
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBMazsMdLC
But only All Might knows that even this is not his best.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhxXZ7knQm
All Might: ‘I could have made it here faster if I was at my prime… ’
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVG6uJlB98
Regardless, the battle was now over. The crisis resolved with one punch.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jl6XP5JVe
Todoroki: “All Might… ”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEQBLE3I8W
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.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NDOUwuG3s
Todoroki: “Right.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuHK0pIfAW
Tokoyami: “Thank you, All Might.”
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQ1GPx2lP
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6MBjQbvn4
Meanwhile, Momo breathes a sigh of relief. But deep down, she wonders how much this will lessen All Might’s time as a hero.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG8VQiQo4R
But for now, it was over. Now all that remains is the aftermath.
