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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c21sXjsId
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJGs1cX8sj
Clearly not.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvifPziq3eE
The person fighting the Nomu was nothing like the boy he occasionally noticed in class. That person was like the personification of conflict itself.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnR9Tm5DcD
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgjf7AhBh2
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?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmRfXRPL1d
Todoroki: “Do you have a plan?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwGmeiZ51U
Izuku: “H-Huh?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5hIjjUUeR
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K699EGoqo
Izuku casts his gaze to the ground and tries. He breathes in and out, trying to focus his mind once again.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi3HHDO8AY
Ever since he… regained his sanity, the buzzing has slowly returned. If he is to finish what he started, he needs to focus.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMR4IUw2kL
Izuku: “From… what I can remember… fire seemed to work the best on him.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh19LZyKuf
Todoroki: “I… see.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5o6EKYnRo
Izuku: “I can’t do what I did before, but… maybe I can try something else.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSzKSBSYCS
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj9ky1c2gZ
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.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DpqQVbyba
Todoroki: “What do you need?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVL2O4xsd9
Izuku: “Continue to slow him down, give me some-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ta9yU8EIT
Todoroki: “DOWN!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpGkTfKPco
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j40myEhKJ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzb31W2r7x
Because of this, the Nomu is far weaker and slower than before. Worse still, he only has one arm.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Guxy2uxc2
They can do this.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4oUoabrjO
Todoroki: “I’ll buy you time, hurry!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRj0kGOazO
Izuku: “R-Right!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GsooKRMEf
Izuku drags his body a bit further away from the Nomu and closes his eyes.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXGUl58eZ1
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQYjqgHbln
Now, don’t misunderstand; his skin was still boiling, but compared to before it’s much more manageable.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhH1Sjg0m8
Izuku howled an ungodly scream, but he didn’t stop.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HoxGftfQW
Izuku: “I have to… do this. I won’t let… everyone down!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtkM9hrfro
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2AY676aQN
But it wasn’t enough. He needed it between his palms if he wanted it to be fired at the Nomu.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuMD6QjXA1
The pain, however, was getting to him.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJdMPqVnWf
Todoroki: “Midoriya!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj53W7wHDFI
Izuku: “I’m… trying.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0airFsMlS
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TwWXbL3Qx
Izuku: ‘Everyone… I’m sor-’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcn8dawiIo
Fubuki: “Izu!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHIVdYC2LJ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtztQGGp5sa
Izuku: “Fubuki!!?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa4qYY78Gz
Fubuki: “Don’t worry about me, focus! I’ll help you control it!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRikWqckXxy
The boy blinks away his tears and tries even harder. Yes, the flames are closer to their destination, tightly packed near his palms.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qk7zPsYME
But he has regeneration; Fubuki doesn’t. He can feel her hands melting, trying to keep his from falling apart.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yOYsYOdMA
Izuku: ‘NO! I… will… not… let you hurt my sister! STOP IT!!’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDxINMy6ZE
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaziq2Qh4u
It’s still burning him, but that’s fine with Izuku. Now without pain clouding her mind, Fubuki could fully help contain the flame.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq7KDuCTKR
Fubuki: “Now, Izu!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolHbt4BJ2q
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs00N6rrZql
Izuku and Fubuki: “ROARING PHOENIX CANNON!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQchqOrFkfZ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH6MGIXWFv
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu83VPR3mDX
Izuku: “We… did it. It’s… over.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoT85RsT1n
Beyond exhausted, Izuku falls to his knees and loses consciousness. Fubuki catches him in her arms and guides him to the ground.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUIbwmv3Nc
She does wince due to her hands still being scorched, not as bad as Izuku’s but still…
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DT9y3TrJi
Fubuki: “I hope Recovery Girl can fix this.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUXqYQDc6T
Suddenly, green flames erupt over her hands. At first, she thought she was going to burn again but instead, the flames completely healed her.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIdNKcJFAn
Fubuki: “W-What?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjkxgv7pz
She looks down at her brother, who is grabbing her arm with his still scorched hands.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHr7qe8DNX
Fubuki: ‘Did he… unconsciously heal me? He can heal!?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA13X5G5Nw
Any other time, she may have been a bit jealous. But this time, she was not only grateful but also proud.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku2Y6xBFIm
Fubuki: “I have such a troublesome but… amazing little brother.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHQum04jOn
Todoroki: “You Midoriyas are really something. I don’t even think my father could create fire that hot.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IgiRvfjOM
Fubuki: “I think Izu is the really amazing one. Not even Tatsu can create fire. Maybe control it, but not this.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcjvSoZeJC
Even now, she can see a few flickers of fire healing his scars and burns.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiN22YueOQ
Fubuki: “Can you help us? Izu is out, and I can barely feel my-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACadlg0fgk
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNVC8RXR4O
Fubuki: “Ah, I guess someone destroyed that psychic disruptor. Finally, the battle must have gone in our favor.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWC2TwzisY
Todoroki: “That’s good. Does that mean you can walk?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5wr1NRHpM
Fubuki: “Not fully, we still need some help if you don’t mind.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwVJwd2Uv4
Todoroki: “No problem.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOdzCGnREF
Todoroki helps Fubuki, who helps Izuku. Victorious, the trio makes their way to the central plaza.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObohfAY25N
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn6qtF2nJa
Before the phoenix took flight.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6UVMM699z
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWAS2jrAii
Apotheosis: “Ugh, this will only delay my big project even more! I hope Tomura is having better luck.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfHdT6SKFq
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OX8lDuiRf
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UAKWoFfpL
Somehow, the teacher saw this and quickly saved the boy with his capture rope.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxzPx5Ftxp
Bakugo: “Wha-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYe2BECJMs
Apotheosis: “Tch.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERnb4Q8uau
Aizawa: “Kirishima, back off!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGt0l7DCFX
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEZBp4SmVH
The two groups, both pretty exhausted, settled across from each other. A temporary break to regroup.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVchBaQtWrW
Kurogiri: “Thank you for the assistance, Apotheosis.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrNtLLhBfu
Apotheosis: “No problem. Sooo, what happened? Where’s All Might?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5DvjF1a34
Tomura: “Is your sister dead?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsOXVOwEcg
Apotheosis: “… I’ll get her next time.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PFlSZvADk
Tomura breathed deeply before scratching his neck roughly.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo8vhXuYkY
Apotheosis: “But forget her; I picked up a quirk level that should be coming from All Might. Where is he?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dJh9dAwds
Tomura: “Not here.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpNdHUtxx9
Apotheosis: “Then who-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8O7dYm17m
That’s when the strategist noticed something strange; Nomu was missing.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYYtMy1EFZ
Apotheosis: “Where’s Nomu?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeq2hlLJcO
Tomura: “Not here, obviously. I sent him after some brat, and he hasn’t returned.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhxaic5RXj
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?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExj1aDmnB1
He needs to do more research on his family.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdplKgAEAu
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?’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJEc718UIT
Tomura: “Your family is nothing but cheats.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiH5pyjwKU
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JWd9hK9cG
Tomura: “Agreed.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vFjgocLw6
Kurogiri: “Then let us be quick.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfFhobztBL
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIVDkFVqly
That’s until the front door was smashed open.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCIlVBdh8E
All Might: “Have no fear, for we are here!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfaRraetBq
Apotheosis: “Oh, now he comes!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyJOpo2uIk
Tomura: “All Might…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx00zr3cIR
And he wasn’t alone.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj9Az28Grl
Ida: “We have arrived!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSb8jply5N
Ida successfully brought a whole host of other pro heroes.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Rs8kuOJt
Apotheosis: “Ha, can this get any worse?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpQFEYxSG9
All Might dashed into the plaza, faster than anyone could perceive, and destroyed the Psychic Disruptor in a single blow.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhBr7Aavf7
Apotheosis: “Of course it can; we’re dead. We have a minute or two at most before she comes.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIioAMFrj3
Tomura: “Aaaahh, it’s our game over screen. Back to the drawing board. Let’s go.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ejxQM40e
Kurogiri nods and expands himself, ready to open a gate.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkne6C7w7ui
All Might: “You think I’d let you!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIKU645SDF
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DRdDQl7M1
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-
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1JhLBEmlx
Tomura: “A continue?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhrftNDNb
Apotheosis: “Haha, maybe it’s not so hopeless.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bHmoenJ7k
Seeing the villains regain hope despite All Might being present filled all the heroes there with worry.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOwFlubCOQ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I2PKwAAYN
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVIEEf2zoY
All Might: “I-Impossible…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r7V80RxBm
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAfWlbCR6S
???: “I hate to disappoint you, but no.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAjaK9quaP
Tomura: “What!? How can we leave before defeating the final boss?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tOwirjWCC
???: “Be wise; even together, we can’t defeat All Might before the Tornado gets here. Now, if the Psychic Disruptor was still working-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg63hEOKdv
Apotheosis: “I get it! I’ll improve its durability until even you can’t destroy it. We’ll go.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M9JX48Hwn
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsoUqZ63bf
???: “Good. Now, Mr. Kurogiri, take them away. I won’t be long. I still have around a minute left.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU4TiSmPvo
Kurogiri: “Yes.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofOO9NEHqR
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo848IEorOU
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsO3D1nr0R
The mysterious man turned back to All Might, and his dead eyes returned. But there was some cruel joy hidden deep within.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4NGlUS3V7
???: “Why the long face? Smile, All Might.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgd3l4uZNz
All Might: “You are-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75qDmMAbt4
???: “Shhh, we wouldn’t want everyone to know your dirty past. Besides, I go by Azrael now.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrn31w85vN
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf4spqEr3j
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAlWv9Z2Bv
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?
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUZpoddSOI
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKrYxm4CE6
Especially since the psychic family was about to reunite again.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK5mvWOh9S
Fubuki: “What happened?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZyNDs6sK6
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCxNmk5aTR
Tatsumaki: “A great question.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHHWFwZsbw
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z6EL5HVIj
The battle may be over, but the cleanup might not be much better.
