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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowtVw5sjZ5
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9siFW9xCh
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWJloFMu7n
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUlGBv3jLT
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf1DKThAy2
Might as well sell it. She raises her hands and has a bit of fun with it.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN36pdnPXv
Kaoru: “Give me your energy!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFdcT4S1lU
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4R0lbffXY
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh2eJ1JpG2
Seeing devastation, Valkyrie halted her rampage in time to notice Kaoru descending next to her.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZToNUEK9Ap
Kaoru: “Hey! Let’s clean the rest of them up and then help the pro heroes out.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U53qnoete
Sure enough, there were still some remaining creatures left. Valkyrie nods and goes to charge in. But she stopped and looked up.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLma1x3ONHa
Kaoru: “What is-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQbONrJKuP
Up in the sky, they see Tatsumaki flying off. Thankfully, the large quirk beast was busy recovering from the beating it received.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfazPv4d0j
Kaoru: “Where is she going!?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax3AddEVaF
Kiri: ‘Onee is… mad.’
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDdmnIKrB5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pakTE6Kgv
Fubuki has gotten stronger, it is true.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQHoVnTqqo
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYRue5Pzg
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iNG9cZ5QS
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoSdFvmDaJ
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrPnl0pEv8
Fubuki: “Freeze!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVoaqrzcYG
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-
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsQxIRjzT7
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1dkGajT6q
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDnHo4qQYd
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeJnqEfYEa
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNebqoazxoU
The temperature drops considerably as she allows her psychic power to-
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkTfHtBKrE
It was as if a bomb dropped, but considering the green glow, Fubuki knew who it was.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0b7TpUPUO
The creatures were turned into paste by an enraged Tatsumaki.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L8xyTddik
Fubuki: “Big sis… ”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOBOgRxzCd
Tatsumaki: “Leave.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBo6M7SKtc
Fubuki: “Huh?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUSdfR8CXs
Tatsumaki: “You’re in the way!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt8nZem2jp
Fubuki: “What!? I’m-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7YUE870dc
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBoUPRqLEE
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l9pil0u3r
The power that was building up left her body, and she felt ready to collapse.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroZCIE1yb1
Fubuki: “Big sis… am I still…?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH6fUaVNwi
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxXczTw0xS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2dVbzYPsz
First, it was racing here after feeling Izuku in abnormal amounts of pain.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hf1MFh1YV
Second, it was being forced to let the man who nearly took her brother away escape.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4pa2hQtGx
Third, it was the unexpected struggle of fighting this centipede. Even targeting internal organs wasn’t slowing it down much.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RSJaoz6jz
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx3RAwS8kp
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOv3qF7U4W
This all comes together to make one very frustrated Tatsumaki.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB21FJdMyPx
Tatsumaki: ‘This ends now.’
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52g67aXg02
She rushes back to the recovering centipede, who was looking at Kiri and Akashi like snacks. Not on her watch.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmXGnBKGrF
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpKQ9nwyDC
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNRW3IPAIP
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff3M4dxUns
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU18FRsOjg
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPyZRFLXQi
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZx7oaQLFM
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq5TkWMeGd
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0osYue5uRH
It felt… strange to be running low. Surely, this was enough. Surely, the other heroes could handle the other one. She can rest.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UIO0O1zqO
Tatsumaki: “No… never.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTSYt2sExu
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWutKb5tJm
So she inhales a large volume of air and flies off, if a bit slower than usual.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooervOczSc
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpMLGAyRMw
Endeavor has to admit, despite how much he dislikes Tornado, her power is undeniable. In some respects, it’s more impressive than All Might.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsZWNLHmOJ
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ3rLK01fd
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVA5Y2URul
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp9bqvDKus
So it ran, slithered away from its doom.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIzF1pqzZ6
Endeavor: “Don’t let it escape!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga6WPYtggM
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzWpxKTIKo
Endeavor: ‘No! We can’t let it get-’
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXELVMY8Bz0
A large explosion echoed in the air, and carried alongside it was a familiar word.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACfie4e15L
SMASH!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89d6i5Rydw
It would seem fate would mock him regardless.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUvcdZ6wQN
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQzOkLiarN
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIHGLgq5EU
Uraraka: “Midoriya! Ida! Are they… ”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoow81kAjOp
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID7ojh11Lb
Momo: “Izuku will be fine; he just needs rest. Ida though… ”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqSj7Ze9zv
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02mo4B9gy3
Tokoyami: “Fiends… ”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0csqVfMJV
Dark Shadow: “Vengeance… ”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTlpkfbTuW
Uraraka: “Who did it. Was it him?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdBzJAsd8h
With a glare that Bakugo would be proud of, she looked to the still unconscious Hero Killer. Despite that, Todoroki was standing close by.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2msCQayHlC
Todoroki: “No, Ida was like that before Yaoyorozu and I arrived.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AMWqD1COI
Momo: “I think it was the one who Izuku fought. His sister was the one who saved Izuku from him.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJWS3DPukj
Kirishima: “Then he’s as good as caught, right?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSd9ywE9PM
Momo: “I hope so.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9krqWosqc
Todoroki: “We should get moving. It seems like one of the quirk beasts was defeated.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCAv6SbdaM
The group turned to see the aftermath of the fight and what Tatsumaki did to the creature.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb9bMBWrIl
Uraraka: “Scary… ”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGxspY9LBM
Todoroki: “Their whole family is.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfVVYUaLeE
Kirishima: “Haha… yeah. Speaking of, where is Tae?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKUtV7PgAy
Momo: “Don’t worry, she’s safe. She can handle herself.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTd5si5d7D
Kirishima: “Heh, you’re probably right. I hope the pros can get everyone together. That way I can stop worrying.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJjRTVOmPL
Uraraka: “Me too. I hope Emory and that child is alright.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNz0nQ2ZMr
Todoroki: “Everyone, we need to move. Now!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNTnBrsWdV
Hearing the urgency in the boy’s voice, the group turns to see what has gotten Todoroki worried.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTAIXoeBHB
It was the last centipede, damaged though it may be, running towards them.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWctdW4JPVs
Kirishima: “Seriously!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciYDWgFZWQ
And it was fast.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP7JibuP9J
Izuku wasn’t awake and couldn’t lift everyone.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rt2j2CTOY
Momo: “Uraraka! Can you-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHjAxOk3Cx
Uraraka: “I… don’t have the strength to get everyone out.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYaSAQunDm
Momo: “T-Then jetpacks! I’ll make one for everyone!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkPQwKpWZz
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a2RCxsK0K
Not wanting to get permission, the two run towards the oncoming death train.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePymwx32Lh
Momo: “Todoroki! Tokoyami!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUToox60a4
Kirishima: “Damn it!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri7Vglc5gk
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…
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8BC0WLEZa
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPMuMN4kkF
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBuZJfBALq
Tokoyami: “Dark Shadow!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHygxUPsGMO
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvGaE7mm0c
Todoroki supercharges his ice, enough to create a glacier to dwarf the one made in the tournament.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AfJp1QYI1
Within moment, all will be-
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYrud7z1z8
All Might: “Well done, young ones!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGYxHxJOQh
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV3BuJIFZj
Why?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WChk2O9JO
All Might: “Because I am here!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYPcmjoFBn
The number one hero appears before them with a fist reared back.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG2p9SE51c
All Might: “Detroit… SMAAAAAASH!!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtnlGJYWCh
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnSflw6j1J
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQEojfpp0d
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoBfvLFeGr
But only All Might knows that even this is not his best.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL1zohMIAc
All Might: ‘I could have made it here faster if I was at my prime… ’
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL6RfbXD6M
Regardless, the battle was now over. The crisis resolved with one punch.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsddhaKy3b
Todoroki: “All Might… ”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeFZsSW4Wo
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8XeHWrkFh
Todoroki: “Right.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ZtiVwFoQ
Tokoyami: “Thank you, All Might.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsMYLQCXx4
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxr1IdeCM2
Meanwhile, Momo breathes a sigh of relief. But deep down, she wonders how much this will lessen All Might’s time as a hero.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU0X6bDhCq
But for now, it was over. Now all that remains is the aftermath.
