I did say I was a couple chapters ahead, right? I finished the fight a while ago, accidentally of course. Enjoy!

Also, I will be at Anime Expo this weekend, so if you're going as well, I hope you have fun! If not, still have a fun weekend. I will be posting the final part of this fight probably by Sunday...depending on how tired I am from the Expo.


Marinette had seen a lot of strange and horrible things as Ladybug over the past year. She had watched her friends be akumatized in front of her, turned to stone and void of temporal energy. She had seen a version of Cat Noir disappear from history right in front of her and even had Hawkmoth himself nearly defeat her. All of that now paled in comparison to the situation in front of her.

She felt sick to her stomach when Titan struck down Midoriya. She watched helplessly as his body stopped struggling against the constant onslaught before being discarded behind her. All she wanted to do was retreat with him to fight another day, but she knew she couldn't. She had a duty to perform and an akuma to purify...

If it could.

But the situation still brought horrible thoughts. The power that went into Midoriya's beating was too much for him and she didn't expect herself to last as long if she was captured next. Her mind drew the awful scenario where they were all defeated and probably killed by Titan's hands. She thought about Adrien, who would never know why Marinette wasn't coming to school anymore. She would never be able to convey her true feelings for him and leave him heartbroken.

She thought about Chloé and even Lila back in school. She thought about how they would see her disappearance as a cowardly way to surrender against their harassment, only to find out the truth. She didn't think about Lila's reaction because she knew her relationship with her, but Chloé? Would she be heartbroken and guilty for ending their relationship the way they did, by bickering over Adrien? Would she care?

And her parents? She didn't want to think about how someone would deliver the news to them. Someone would have to tell them that she was Ladybug and she fell in battle against Titan. It broke her heart when she imagined her mother breaking down in the middle of the shop, bawling for the daughter that won't be able to return home. Her father...he would fall into a depression and would be heartbroken for the rest of his life.

Her friends: Alya, Rose, Alix, Juleka, Luka, Mylène, and the rest of her class would all find out the truth.

As Marinette continued to think about it, she gulped heavily. The energy that was washing over her turned her from fear and anxiety into courage and determination. Midoriya always said that heroes could find their ways out of sticky situations using their wits, and this was her chance to do just that. They had the numbers and they had the fierce fire of heroism beneath them.

She remembered the video that Uraraka showed her of All Might fighting the Nomu. Somebody had been recording it and provided the footage of the fight. "A real hero will always find a way for justice to be served!" he boomed from the footage.

She felt inspired by their heroes. The adrenaline was racing through her as she readied her yo-yo, readyfor the fight of her life. "Ready to move?" she asked her partners.

Uraraka nodded uneasily as she readied her Quirk. "Ready!"

Cat Noir readied his baton. "Let's do this!"

Titan charged at the team. "SHOW ME YOUR BLOOD!" he cried out, a crazed look in his only eye as his Quirk enveloped his entire body. He raised his fist high in the air, ready to bring it down on any member of the team.

Ladybug nearly lassoed a nearby rooftop when a blur sped past her from behind. Uraraka gasped as she had seen only one person move that fast so close to her. It couldn't be...

Titan moved to strike the team only for his punch to connect with another. The team gasped as well as the spectators from the My Hero universe. It was Midoriya! His one punch stopped Titan in his tracks and it caused great confusion on the villain as well as Hawkmoth, who was watching the battle take place in his lair. A second later, the winds picked up around them, sending Team Miraculous further away while shattering every single window within a kilometer.

Titan peered over to see what stopped him. "Wha-WHAT?! You again, punk?! But...how..?"

Midoriya met Titan's eyes, and the villain felt a shiver go down his spine. His eyes were the brightest shade of green they could ever be, and it looked like his fists and hair were on fire. And on his face was the biggest smile he had ever seen. "I'm not giving up, Titan! I'm never giving up when I can stand and fight!"

In the My Hero Universe, everyone in the dorms who were watching the battle cheered as loud as they can. All Might and Inko Midoriya were both sitting side by side, watching the battle in stunned silence. Inko was silently praying that he wouldn't hurt himself while All Might prayed he wasn't going to do what he thought he was going to do. My boy...what are you doing?

Titan took another swing only for it to connect with another of Deku's punches. "STOP IT!" Titan cried out.

He continued to strike at Midoriya, only for his punches to be effectively countered. The winds continued to pick up, reaching dangerous speeds around the area they were in. And unlike his opponent, Titan began to feel some soreness from his fists. He's wearing me out! NO!

Hawkmoth panicked and opened up his psychic link. "Titan, go after the Miraculouses! This child is clearly on an adrenaline rush; he will tire himself out at this rate!"

"How about you try fighting him, Butterfly Man!" Titan screamed into the air. As he continue to land punches, so was Midoriya. This is remarkable! Is this One for All at its fullest? I feel remarkable!

Focus Midoriya! Do not let your amazement distract you from the enemy! Watch his movements; he is wearing down! Nana said inside his head. Increase movement speed just a smidge. You need to draw some distance between you two before moving ahead.

Got it!

One of Titan's fists were bumped away from one of Midoriya's punches, allowing the young teen to land a critical strike against the akumatized villain. Titan's senses were shaken as Midoriya landed more quick strikes against him.

Midoriya brought his leg up and aimed for the crook in Titan's neck. "Shoot Style!"

His leg connected, slamming the akuma into the ground. In his haze, Midoriya took a chance. "URARAKA!"

"Got it!" The gravity girl ran down the street ready to use her Quirk. Ladybug eyed her partner. "C'mon, let's finish this!"

The two Miraculous heroes charged onto the battlefield. Uraraka closed in and slipped out from behind Midoriya. Using her Quirk on Titan, the villain began to slowly rise into the air, still semi-conscious. Ladybug slid underneath and lassoed her yo-yo around the akuma's ankle. She leapt into the air and slammed him down onto the ground. Thank's to Uraraka, she was able to repeat the action several times.

Shaking him loose from her yo-yo, she opened him up for Cat Noir. He struck him with his staff, bringing him to the ground. He began to spin his staff, creating just enough of a breeze to send Titan through the air and slamming into the Arc de Triomphe. After that, the team convened around Midoriya, who was just powering down from his high.

"Are you okay, Deku?" Uraraka asked.

"Yeah, he slammed you hard man," Cat added.

Midoriya nodded. "I'll be fine, for now. But we need to take him down once and for all," he said.

"His eyepatch is where the akuma is. We take it from him, and we're left with..."

"A man with still enough power to overwhelm us. We need to make sure he won't get up afterward," Midoriya said.

Everyone looked at each other. "A proper villain lies before us," Cat Noir commented. "Call it Emerald Bunny."

Midoriya took a long look at the villain some distance away from them. His muscular form was already regenerating as he began to regain consciousness. "All Quirks in our world work in a limited way. There are physical barriers to keep our powers from going out of control. Uraraka, you have a weight limit that you surpassed, right?"

She nodded. "Our friend Kirishima has a hardening Quirk, but he can only remain in his strengthened state for so long. That, and he can take only so much damage before it becomes too much. Aoyoma's navel Quirk can keep a continuous beam of energy going for a second, but it's possible he extended it after the provisional exam recently."

Ladybug kept her eyes on the villain as he struggled to rise up. "And...?"

Midoriya motioned to the villain. "He has a limit too. Even though his steel form underneath is from an akuma, it is still fractured and weak. That's why he is in muscle form; to protect what's left."

"So we need to break his spirit and his Quirk," Uraraka deduced. "You did that before, didn't you?"

The green haired boy nodded. "During our intensive training, I overpowered him for a moment. I know for a fact that he is still infuriated over that, so I am most likely his main target. That's our way to victory."

"MIDORIYA!"

Titan was back on his feet, fully transformed back into his muscular form. "I'M COMING FOR YOU KID!" And he sped forward.

Midoriya readied his stance. "Ladybug, your magic yo-yo is strong enough to hold him back. Look for an opening and hold him for as long as you can. Cat Noir, your Cataclysm is very useful in capturing villains. Break his balance once Ladybug has him in her trap," he said.

"Got it," the Miraculous wielders both said.

"Uraraka, your Quirk is useful in both close combat and medium range. We'll tag team him up close once he's stuck," Midoriya said.

At that, Uraraka grabbed a nearby sedan with her Quirk. It's weight nonexistent; Uraraka had a smile that shone through the storm. "Once we break his balance, we have to break through his Quirk. He can get exhausted just like everyone else. Only then we should go for his akuma. Remember, we need to go beyond here. Plus Ultra!"

"Plus Ultra!" the team cried out.


Back in their universe, the students returned to the crack in reality just in time to see Midoriya back on his feet. Everyone was stunned to see him alive and well, and even more so to see him actually do some damage against the raging villain. All Might was at the edge of his seat. "Young Midoriya...I hope you know what you're doing," he muttered to himself.

Behind him, Bakugo scoffed. "That damn nerd just doesn't know when to quit, does he?"

Mina Ashido turned to him. "What's your problem with him anyway?"

"Deku just doesn't know when to stay down. No matter what, even when I threaten and sometimes follow through with my threats to blow him up, he keeps coming back. If anyone is going to bounce back the hardest, it's going to be him," he said. "He'll make it."

When Mina turned back to the tear in reality, Bakugo muttered to himself. "He better. I'll kick his ass if he doesn't."

That won't work; I'll kick his ass either way so...win-win for me I guess.

Sero raised his hand into the air. "Uhh...Mr. Aizawa, we should be out there to help them! They need all the help they can get!"

The class gave a collective "yeah!" as a response. The Erasure hero simply shook his head. "The last thing that any city needs is too many heroes jumping in to handle a single situation. The two pros that are there with them are more than enough," he explained.

"Mr. Aizawa..."

The weary teacher turned with his Quirk activated. "No. A situation like this already has the appropriate number of heroes. If the need arises, either the pros or Midoriya or Uraraka can handle evacuations and rescue. Hero team-ups are good, but keeping them small is easier to manage and can get the bases covered should the need arise," he explained. "I'm sure All Might never needed to rely on anyone."

The retired hero shrugged. "Only if I needed a base or two covered, but Aizawa is right. We don't want too many heroes fighting against one villain in an all-out battle. That'll just destroy more of the city."

Back on the battlefield, Ladybug took to the rooftops while Cat Noir readied his staff. Midoriya turned to his bubbly best friend with a smile. "Jump in when I give the word, okay?"

Uraraka smiled. "I got your back, Deku."

Midoriya smiled. Now he knew he really owed her ice cream later. The sweeter the better. He focused on Titan, who was getting closer and closer. He knew the focus of his rage was himself, and Midoriya was going to exploit it. He only hoped Ladybug's yo-yo is indeed indestructible. He charged up One for All to its maximum power with Nana's spirit helping him and blasted off to meet the akuma head on.

Remember Midoriya, I cannot fill you with the true power of One for All. It must be gradual, as you have done before. I am holding you at 20% for now, however I will increase it as we fight. Keep a level head and we will prevail.

Titan swung his fist, making contact with Midoriya's punch and blasting high-powered air throughout the area, shattering windows and buildings alike. He tried to go for an uppercut against the hero-in-training but he was fast. One for All had matured thanks to his new movement training. He slipped close to the strike and launched a jab and cross into the villain's rib cage before slipping through another desperate strike.

Titan continued to swing and miss, prompting Midoriya to keep dealing small and strong strikes against him. He flipped backward as Titan brought his fists up for a hammer strike, cracking the ground. The inheritor quickly recovered with a somersault in the air before striking with an axe kick to the head.

Watching from a high vantage point, Ladybug observed the battle. All she saw were bright flashes of green before Midoriya would appear, land small strikes against Titan and then disappear to repeat the cycle. She watched the villain try to counterattack only to keep missing the hero. She saw him raise up his fist to land a potential strike and that's when she leapt into action. The spotted heroine launched her yo-yo out, effectively wrapping itself around Titan's left arm.

When Titan noticed, it was too late. Ladybug leapt onto the ground after wrapping her yo-yo string around some potent bases, including a light pole and a fire hydrant. The strength gifted to her by the Miraculous allowed her to hold Titan as she hoisted him up a few inches from the ground. She had kept him from landing a blow, allowing Midoriya to land a left angled hook to his face. While it didn't knock off the eye patch, it was enough to make him stagger.

Remember your base, Midoriya. Good and strong strikes are quick, require strong bases and need to be executed at the right moments. He's dazed now, so strike there! Nana advised.

Midoriya landed a series of jabs to Titan's gut, knocking the wind out of him. "NOW!"

He didn't have to look, only listen. Listen to the sound of possibly 5-6,000 pounds of American steel hurdling toward him. He dove out of the way to find the sedan Uraraka picked up earlier flying past him. As expected, Titan used his free arm to swat it away, albeit his strength wasn't able to swat it away effectively. Uraraka had two more cars hovering around her as she launched them with a look of determination on her face.

As he continued to swat away the rush hour traffic, Cat Noir sped toward him from behind, effectively dodging the debris.

Titan swatted the last sedan away and readied for a strike against Midoriya before he heard the word. "CATACLYSM!"

Cat Noir, with his hand charged with destructive energy, slid onto and destroyed the ground Titan was standing on. His foot caved into the ground, ruining his base for a strong attack. Dangling just over the ground, Titan cursed as Midoriya and Uraraka came in for close combat. They both shouted as loud as they could "DOUBLE SHOOT STYLE!"

Midoriya on the right and Uraraka on the left, their attacks struck against the muscular villain. The young inheritor aimed for his ribs while Uraraka caught him at the crook of the neck. Titan screamed in absolute pain as the two heroes recovered. Midoriya continued to throw in punches alongside Uraraka, getting in a brilliant workout as well as doing damage to the villain.

Titan groaned in pain, however he wasn't ready to go down just yet. He raised his free arm, ready to slam it into Uraraka. Midoriya saw his movement and intercepted the attempted strike with his own body, sending the two of them skidding across the battlefield.

Titan managed to yank his leg from the ground where it caved in. He yanked down on the yo-yo string, sending Ladybug through the air and toward the remaining heroes.

Uraraka groaned in pain as she lifted her best friend off of her. She stood and watched as Titan pulled his foot from the ground. "WAS THAT IT?! WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO STOP ME?!" He boomed.

Uraraka silently prayed that it would've worked. The only plus side was the Double Shoot Style she performed with Midoriya. It actually worked in some way since even Titan's body weight was shifted to his left. She turned to her friend, whom was still unconscious. "Deku, wake up," she muttered as she shook him.

He groaned as the world around him spun. His eyes fluttered open as he slowly picked himself up. Uraraka steadied him as he shakily rose to his feet. "T-That hurt," he muttered.

"It looked like it did," she remarked. "What now?"

Midoriya looked up at Titan. He was bruising and limping slightly. He analyzed Titan's body language and took into account where he was at with power. "I-I-I think..."

"CAN THE HERO NOT MAKE A PROMISE HE CAN KEEP? HEY MIDORIYA, COME ON AND FIGHT ME ALREADY!"

Midoriya flinched. He clenched his fists as he activated his Quirk once again. His posture improved greatly as he felt renewed strength surge through him. "I-I-I think...he's mine."

Uraraka looked dumbfounded at her friend. Everyone back in their universe gasped as they watched their classmate power up. Inko turned to All Might with fear and anger in her eyes. "WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING HIM?"

The former pro hero was equally shocked. "I-I don't know. I told him to take it easy! He has to be at his limit by now so fighting now would only make the situation worse!" He deduced.

His pants torn and ruined, Midoriya charged his own Quirk. "One for All: 40%!"

His classmates gasped; even Bakugo was now interested in the fight happening before them. "He's not giving it his all?"

The green hero flashed a wicked grin. To be able to pick yourself up; to be able to stand against no hope of winning and ready to fight is the essence of being a hero. Against all odds, a real hero must always be ready to lay everything on the line to protect the people they care about!

Midoriya...you're right. I lost everything, but Toshi rose up from my defeat and became the Symbol of Peace. This will be difficult, but we can do it! Nana proclaimed.

Midoriya readied his stance, defying his injuries. Cat Noir rushed to his partner and helped raise her up, ignoring the alarm his ring was giving off. They both watched in awe as their friend stood in front of Uraraka. "TITAN! IT'S YOU AND ME! No one has to die today!"

The akumatized villain smirked as he charged at the green hero. You still have power on your side. We are with you, Izuku Midoriya!

Midoriya charged to meet the Muscular villain. They set their strikes and slammed into each other, sending energy all across the battlefield.
