It was breaking, his mind and heart at the sight. He never felt such… hatred.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9hIei7y42
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyg2fzWIOK
Something ancient… and dark… was erupting from within his soul. Responding to his infernal desires.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGiSyVt164
A voice buried in his subconscious screamed at him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a8E1UUV55
Phoenix: “Calm down! You’re not ready for-”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPOWgo9tp8
K: “Be silent, primordial one; let him enact his rightful bloody vengeance.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF7y05AEhC
C: “Yes. Arise, our chosen prince!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4MsFblwsF
Yes… any price was acceptable if he could save his family.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDvKp4ytoD
Broken Phase *^@& Activated
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgChluihLAO
And murder those who would threaten them.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y1S1fGpSB
Izuku: “DIIIIIEE!!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwxlDVfnqX
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9KBsmu3uP
Tomura: “Nomu!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4UKZou4oC
Even Tomura could understand the unnatural amount of danger he was in. Especially when he started to feel his limbs begin to bend.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xDek8hZTf
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnUzjulaCl
Tomura: “Don’t let up, forget what the Strategist wants, kill that brat!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanDk1KIDe0
Obeying, Nomu jumped into the sky after the dangerous child.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T4yJ7qyTN
Tomura: “Ugh, and you people have the nerve to call yourselves heroes.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOn4XCzzOu
Kurogiri: “Shigaraki Tomura.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ700OO4VfgO
Tomura recovers from his near-death experience and turns around to face the newly arrived Kurogiri.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tTnrfNPys
Tomura: “Black Mist… is Thirteen dead?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zIoKy67EE
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.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirTh8p92ya
Tomura: “…Huh?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhQCZ0f6dL
Shigaraki starts scratching his neck in irritation.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq23SY2caFi
Tomura: “Huuuhhh… first that Valkyrie wannabe, then that… demonic brat, and now this. It’s like bugs in the game systems or something.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrlr3To0ZQ
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQvCEtCfie
Tomura’s frown suddenly turns into a smile.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyIpNbGBW1
Tomura: “Actually, we should at least finish what we started.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPGw40C6lM
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…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx3ddMx1Ax
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBvuG8IVTW
The difference between a real apex predator and what she felt was like the difference between a wounded bunny and a dragon god.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKNdoWpbOa
Even if she wasn’t the target, it was enough to scare her stiff.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW7pnfEYqF
So nothing was stopping Tomura from just-
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqdDzhyFbg
Kiri: “Get… away… from her.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmVBl9Nl1I
Tomura: “Now what?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3oMwXT05q
He and Kurogiri turned back to the ghost girl. They expected a girl on her last legs, instead, they find…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9LawqKnz1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxHisOwC3B
Kiri wasn’t fully knocked out by that creature, but she almost wished she was.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVFypt7eKq
Her skin was on fire.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllU3ZTHUSn
Kiri: ‘Onii…’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt4a18YdgS
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6tIub7cqT
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujD7XEc6cd
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFJZxy8dx9
Kiri: “Asui!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVybkP0hCU
Tsuyu: “Kero?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5gN6ElEa5
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIBexkat3k
Kiri: “Help Master Ninja; I’ll handle them.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHC5GBgdY
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7snjSechnV
Kiri: “NOW!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5CpH9Nzv5
The command was delivered, and so Tsuyu jumped into the fray. Better to fight villain goons than make Kiri mad.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZmZ7i5qly
As for Tomura and Kurogiri, they just let it happen, still too stunned by what they’re seeing.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZXyadFC3s
Tomura: “What… are you?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYqm7zBaRA
Kiri breathes out soft puffs of green fire, trying to collect herself, before getting into her fighting stance.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WGfhmFlaP
Kiri: “A hero.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4CFLg16Nz
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzpbsZzNq0
Tomura backsteps while Black Mist goes to the front and opens a warp gate.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fcSiiOIFQ
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jomx7zU6M
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEgacTZMQ3
Kiri goes for a body blow but is covered by darkness and sent away.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLUD5CVHrn
Kurogiri: “Are you alright?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGUsjuFdt6
Tomura: “…No.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oBOYF2wzt
He places the hand back on his face and then starts roughly scratching his neck.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWaOpcSzcz
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.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyOK01b7wS
Kurogiri: “Wise, those two have really helped calm you down; it would see-”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOMH8dLMJE
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzTf1iW6rV
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8VE8rC5GO
Kiri: “Onii… stop… I… can’t… ”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn9AMaO6zD
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyv33bp1mV
Kill. Kill them all. Make them suffer.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tA77qcWvr
Tomura: “Now! While she’s weakened!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs6hAftoZs
The two villains charge the kneeling girl, ignoring the instinctual fear assaulting their minds.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL57ojxC0lh
Kiri: “No… get… away.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV4R5CgOJ2
Before they got close, or before Kiri lost control, two other students sped past her sides.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qp2IpLkTY
Bakugo: “Move, Ghost Girl!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx1zDEg3tB
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL8HDSmvoN
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7LOP64t6S
As for Kirishima, he focused on saving his new friend. He launched a heavy blow into the body of Tomura, sending him skidding back.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFSmdv7rpR
Kiri: “Rock… man…”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgYWn6KXgV
Kirishima: “Kiri! What happened to you!?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY74euNdyU
Kiri: “Run… I… ”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotJRPh3QCd
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl7Zq7fJQM
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tbB94iGgw
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiOcCoqmQm
Either way, she was out, and everyone was left confused.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc8ZS65R39
Kirishima: “What… happened to her?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iwlB9q2gD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kpYulCr64
While Kiri was going crazy, it was similar for Izuku. After all, he was the cause.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJs32hOGXw
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4rzsL1Vm0
But it was stopped in mid-air and then slammed into the concrete below.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPD3KDBbUD
Izuku: “Kneel!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgQln5UApv
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTnPNSTStN
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFrzHV1NPX
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyjcDAv8jL
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngfzBFWNtu
The world itself commanded that it was to be blasted back into a building.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35yVJf7Zze
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDQrFD8BUy
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuqOrjia1s
Izuku: ‘Why?’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsurj3yr06
Another blow to its face.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyLmKumv9m
Izuku: ‘Why?’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b1hPJzyUh
Another blow to its brain.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8NFqYoGb9
Izuku: ‘Why does this…’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj4jfrnkXO
Another blow to its body.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS0rZ7sDN4
Izuku: ‘Feel… so…’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtDtvOPTYB
Another blow to its neck.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3f1rkHA9E
Izuku: ‘GOOD!’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtm4ZRTKTI
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowQSFsXI6S
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwY9IsItFS
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n2r1Xog1l
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0dPnfgL4D
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN759EIC6v
Izuku: “HAHAHAHA!!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfhrxCRBTr
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfa7vG6Wnf
More than that, he wants to enjoy this fight.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXtU5EhHOA
So he continues to cut and maneuver around it with otherworldly skill; all while the city crumbles around them.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S1Fu0a5EG
As the clash continues, as the Nomu stares into the increasingly demonic eyes of the esper, it starts to happen. It feels… fear.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uxcu9AsAX
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiG97pkHZo
A legion of legions, beyond imagining, is within this child’s mind. And they’re staring back at it, laughing in insane glee.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrcBGFMPaV
The Nomu takes a step back as a whimper escapes its mangled mouth.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvQshwBguJ
Izuku: “Oh? Are you starting to feel fear?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3cZoYaJF4
It’s not Izuku’s voice anymore; there are several hundred other voices mingled within. The Nomu takes another step back; its grin gone.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdoFw1aznd
Izuku: “It sucks, doesn’t it? To feel fear? To feel useless, hopeless, and weak?!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYBe2UTqh6
The Nomu can barely fight back now. It just wants to run.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CbrgYosQT
Izuku: “Well, you should have thought about the consequences of hurting my family!! No hurts them, NO ONE!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlMnDPlGBA
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYDEm2pr3u
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnKrsLlQs4
Izuku: “Emerald Lancer.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSeAWVZXCu
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbxgEO9QZx
The Nomu wasn’t healing.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwMEOPZsMs
That impossible fact was too much for the creature to handle. The Nomu began to crawl backward in terror.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGPfIur9Vt
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvsI6CFqxA
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.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKXYfAOFbQ
Suddenly, the blissful smile disappeared and was replaced with cold apathy.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbwXIRbQPD
Izuku: “But as for you, I don’t want to play with you anymore.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eOvIYbSEW
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIgQub9eIH
He points it at the Nomu.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U2i0VyOf0
Izuku: “Atomic Break-.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoSUjYt0x6
Broken Phase *^@&: Overloaded
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLagFkPGQ9
The veins on Izuku’s head become visible as blood drips from his nose.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSWMLWygNC
Izuku: “Huh?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouM4We7fxx
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP2fJoolHZ
But more than the pain, Izuku feels shame and self-hatred.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCq3mZNCUk
Izuku: ‘No, that couldn’t have been me. The things I said and thought…’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIUJPOu1Ol
He was mad and wanted to protect Kiri. But that desire quickly exploded out of control and into something…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR76eCCNOpz
Izuku: ‘Villainous…’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclP7lYF8vA
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZA5neRTsl
Izuku: ‘How could I… what have I… Tatsu… Fubu… Kiri… Mom… what’s happening to me?’
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkBo91Y1M1
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLlyagY1fe
After a moment checking that it was safe, the Nomu smiled cruelly. It brought its fist in the air, ready to end this nightmare.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ZAhK7Eav
But then it was suddenly cold and frozen in place. It had to watch another student retrieve the child monster and retreat.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxHpj7wukH
Izuku: “Todo… roki?”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg2CyYZeTU
Todoroki: “It won’t hold him for long. You need to pull yourself together. You might be the only one who can defeat him.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaeFl2G0Dr
Izuku: “But… I can’t… not again.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiFuJA981D
Todoroki: “…Then think of something. I’ll buy you as much time as I can.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdc8UP8hei
Even now, he can hear the ice breaking.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5y4MwZE1Z
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2WD4J0Dy1
Before Izuku lost control over himself, Fubuki was still dealing with Apotheosis.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH9BobnhaB
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZriT71PeF
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZR9ho3GXJ
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cB7PgbBUw
As for Fubuki, she gathers the rest of her strength and focus before charging forward.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp33Sqduqo
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aFKy6yI8n
As for Apotheosis, he raised his power glove as she raised her hand.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7FfdgblpC
He fired.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlelUfYSxMO
She crushed.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyX1oZai8X
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMeRlyCMcm
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcWNGMuztl
Hurt, Apotheosis stumbled back as he held his stomach.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7sXc0ADPZ
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3QcEtPm4m
The winner is Apotheosis.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc32IrsNdk9
Seeing his victory close at hand, he swallowed the pain and stood up straight.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW9Jr0C3is
Apotheosis: “H-Ha, serves you right. You espers aren’t so special.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG09NLY49O3
He walked towards the fallen Fubuki, fighting down any winces of pain that threatened to escape his mouth.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzio8enhDf
Standing over her, he sneers before picking her up by the hair. He aims his power glove at her face.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA35TVSvFXy
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.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDErppL83Cx
Fubuki’s eyes twitch.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6UTlxOq3w
Apotheosis: “Oh yes, I’ll make sure to take my sweet time torturing her. She deserves nothing less.”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj2cFSST1i
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xMi8QK5qJ
Apotheosis: “Wha-”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIt9ZItkQv
He drops her and grasps his head. Memories, awful memories, flood his mind.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDmM4IfRka
His father.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5mDVkHz07
The beatings.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1FYMFhkYp
The weakness.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13pwUWKXlz
The rejection
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJGxC76KnN
The cell.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0zFS8gPBF
The failures.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHVYXVsAwV
His mother…
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhmDvN4t7O
Apotheosis: “Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!”
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EHxoMIWwK
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQLGAiko00
The ground rumbles, and the cold air listens.

Fubuki: “Hell Storm!”

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: “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.”

Why?

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.

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.
