It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Jj0HgRcM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SUijZKgcc
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvKgbUUNqc
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn3WB7SUzw
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2KCEgps1r
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLNFq9beVq
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRVQUHK80C
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2UWFbMrSt
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHpgPfyIBw
And murder those who would threaten them.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbibXgpJjr
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQMaAvO6nQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzOVfz4Tpc
Tomura: “Nomu!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiBSc9h5lM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQsO51MVqD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhHj5RK0Hu
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5vlSvfHGu
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw3SLGktEm
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBqe1HL3UX
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MzOLhVChI
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWVXSTiZ2s
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TaSdDA5e6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24C7J44rVn
Tomura: “…Huh?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJt16GRhrD
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNljGdDhp0R
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOh7y0xteG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hewB8jbwT
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwahmchVXkQ
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOpEvqVjaV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIYQNHXInv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cCmmFDAYH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb00YlpVoVP
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0I1uY4TRT
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei4uTBmImq
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvguPVe4F5U
Tomura: “Now what?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rB4hmaZl1
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB0MlbKqQk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAlCkzvVA0
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzQurfsmyM
Her skin was on fire.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dd6QbP72y
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKjRjOaGsi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvhPFrJq8i
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AEwz8dbnS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zmGEwfmaM
Kiri: “Asui!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OHiaoocPD
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj2Xu4bC8G
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8dlba6PVp
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEt3OVqX2N
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT15ZAklfR
Kiri: “NOW!!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjshnrgvMSY
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi2SGrqnG4
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAhyECMPJ1
Tomura: “What… are you?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gqpAhpmmJ
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOgfxPcSK
Kiri: “A hero.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqECv73Qgf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2El9iv3hG
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhUAEfGGnW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL3UMMjtSA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcd4m2wGTN
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU9ULf1Rgx
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPzphrnd8J
Tomura: “…No.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19fSYCARww
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzxJl06k04
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhQWox5IIz
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9lfd1YabX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiEPI0qKGe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55VZS6IAdk
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7943QGikes
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuCONyLckg
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ONyYOf9T
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpBlTbilBj
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBdS1sTjVp
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ4SKoSijM
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7auKRmzr7R
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAPfnluzsI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue3HRttuDu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrQNO9V4BK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWENt5hyF6n
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT6msdWKHc
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIloS6N1Tr3
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dR5IcZmiP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTExAgDvRo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESYiinc7Rr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuH0WP7G4W
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE3OG3HC6y
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwgkrVuoL2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIneM04fEzJ
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3siJoq7mYn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CjMfeREPm
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Xr226EWX
Izuku: “Kneel!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMM25NlkRG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPer61DnIu5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUcgALHhO5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDdehjPqi8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1zT63gP4v
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpQuYN0pyR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56FbDiFayG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4ga6XuYJ
Izuku: ‘Why?’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9AkhgsudA
Another blow to its face.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mB4SgUi0
Izuku: ‘Why?’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCwxBWUjXy
Another blow to its brain.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqxw1pE8Bo
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVlZnMUM4O
Another blow to its body.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1hYTPLNL2
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUaAgMmUbA
Another blow to its neck.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZnWcda2Kv
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAQia2jwjR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnI1Ms4ea5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4q7wXXC3p
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2EFOIygCX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNttYFL5jH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ20uj6PMMx
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD2dCQfnWD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54HV7K0fEs
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Y7G6ykZp
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX9B57rO8D
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaxkHQSTEg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2TIDSvG9r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wGdevKqii
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWOKwqTTui
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDDAOsky3p
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXNTStpW2G
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOWk9MJg81
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7DXvAfrAl
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeSsfLv1Mk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRaEhLHwVl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJCm4IpAiJ
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8w9J2dEbI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hIjmgDUse
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqznvI8FbFx
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehJpbVQZg7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomIzBe70F
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqSKykSxzk
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdUSNQaQnQ
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4AOhTgDkc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVULh5yZ53G
He points it at the Nomu.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQKBEymtYF
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tc6LsLSB0
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60VXD0YIir
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh433qflvgW
Izuku: “Huh?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLKQoCzWtE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebud3OQY9K
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyslzsybMu
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmvhzvo8E1
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrV9nI4FQl
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvysNx8dVwX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEx9LCTzZF
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuPna6T9Yr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuIHmTNDf4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQrKgi7y5f
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh19uOV9n6J
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIhNqkQeZr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblNGIQSGgv
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXf2Yx12ZQ
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA9rkxKUve
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzS3nj2rvC
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y7kBLNLPm
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87TmOXjkyg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZhmgwhg1l
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnIpQ9gKjY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxhr8kU2bJ
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTfahbJJyu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12K3dGd96t
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz11DAISIme
He fired.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNWQixMBZP
She crushed.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNHfwF9Wcv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ijJPqfJC3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRsfKzaIYX
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcCpftQKPf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9J1R1bgzh
The winner is Apotheosis.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftq8FMXQxE
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwskIuGTFZ
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63wPvPs2Db
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikogtFZOHB
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJiD3SK9hT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGobpSoFasO
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzycyNYSUGk
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5kdnTl4hs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WYx5sCvhz
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcw7kFpHto
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t7mrxlC5P
His father.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedMvRZdp5q
The beatings.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmur3Mh0n6F
The weakness.
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7RJiJLjn3
The rejection
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPmMunYxL1

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbnC5zjykU
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.

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.”

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyjtToFYUh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CFZLauUC0
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.
