GO BEYOND!
PLUS ULTRA!
The energy that surged throughout the battlefield was a once in a lifetime experience. Magic surged through the world at the same time...something else did. A special kind of energy that blessed the sky. An energy that urged everyone watching on the Ladyblog and through the rift in time and space to react. Everyone in Class 1-A cheered as well as the adults as they felt that power.
In absolute disbelief, Titan watched Midoriya intercept every single strike made against them. He hoped that the boy would be tired at that point; however, Midoriya was not one to surrender because he was tired. Every punch met its match and then some. The shockwave traveled up Titan's arms every time he connected with the green hero.
Hawkmoth was watching with interest and fear. He felt his magic waver around Titan as he continued to fight. What was worse was that he felt his arms begin to stiffen up. They felt sore to the villain.
Titan tried to swing at Midoriya only for the hero to dodge perfectly and land a powerful strike in his ribs. The villain doubled over in pain, opening up his jaw line to an uppercut. As he reeled, Midoriya swung his leg around and jammed his heel into the villain's calf.
Everyone in 1-A winced at the strike. Titan stumbled back before regaining his footing. Now his left leg was feeling sore and he feared his base would fall.
Midoriya launched a series of strikes at Titan's core. Just as he managed to overcome the pain, Titan attempted to grab Midoriya only for the hero to bounce backward.
Once he landed, he launched into Titan's personal space and swung his leg around. His shin met the villain's core with great force, inspiring a new kind of emotion into his opponent: fear.
Hawkmoth couldn't watch any longer. He now began to feel some pain in his leg as well as his sides. He ignored the pain and his own internal pleas to cut the psychic connection, but he couldn't. If Titan was free, he wouldn't focus on the mission. Although the result would mean he wouldn't hold back, but he realized Titan was a psychopath and sociopath. One wrong move, and everyone would suffer.
Hawkmoth was torn. Would victory really taste so sweet?
Titan recovered from the sudden attack and swung at Midoriya. The hero ducked, landed a jab and cross at his ribs and raised his foot for a rising kick up his jaw. The villain cursed as he felt his tongue bleed. Midoriya lowered his foot before delivering two roundhouse kicks in quick succession: one at the bend of his knee and the other into his side.
His adrenaline was pumping in his body. Are you ready Izuku? Nana asked him.
"Not yet..." he muttered. He backed up as Titan regained his senses.
"N-N-Not bad, k-k-k-kid," Titan grumbled. "You got better."
Midoriya smiled. "Plenty of push-ups and sit-ups help," he remarked.
Titan groaned as his muscular augmentation faulted in his arm. He willed his Quirk to remain active; however he was feeling the pain. He was sore...for the first time in a long while.
Midoriya ran at Titan head on. The akuma launched an uppercut at the hero away as soon as he got close, sending him high into the air.
"DEKU!"
Titan looked over to see Uraraka charging at him with Cat Noir's staff. "Remember that line about sticks and stones, girly?!" He shouted.
Uraraka smiled as she jammed the staff into the ground. Pressing the button Cat Noir told her to press, she shot straight into the air and out of Titan's field of action. As she flew over, Titan realized the situation too late as Cat Noir came in with a round-house kick to the akuma's kneecap. The same kneecap Midoriya injured before.
Titan roared in pain before swatting at Cat Noir. The cat-themed hero barely managed to dodge before leaping out of the way. "Wow you're bad!"
Titan flashed a sinister grin. "I've always wanted a cat, but I was afraid that it wouldn't last long with me!"
Ignoring the sense of dread filling him up, Cat flashed his own confident grin. "Well maybe a cat wouldn't stayed, but maybe a bunny?"
As he said that, a sonic boom erupted in the air above him. Flying through the air like a true superhero, Midoriya used his Delaware Smash to propel himself through the air in a very Kacchan-ish fashion. His speed was too great and before he could brace himself, Midoriya closed in.
"60% COSMIC SMMMAAASSHHHHH!"
Midoriya's fist connected with the akuma's face. The sudden increase of power surged through the Chosen One as the force of the attack sent Titan through the ground hard. He crashed through the street before coming to a stop nearby; his senses were discombobulated from the attack.
High above where he came to a stop was Uraraka, and she was poised for attack. She canceled the affects of her Quirk on herself and she fell toward the ground. Tucking her feet in, Uraraka drove her body weight and momentum into Titan's core, knocking whatever wind was still with him free.
The pain was too great for Titan. His muscular form began to falter, revealing the metallic body hidden underneath. Uraraka quickly fled the scene shortly after she used her Quirk on the villain. Midoriya rushed in and swept up the akuma by the rags of his prison uniform before throwing him up into the air.
Meanwhile, Ladybug continued to watch. Despite their best efforts, Titan was not going down easily. She surveyed the destruction caused by their battle and noticed Alya was nearby. Unfortunately, a pile of rubble and landed on her legs, pinning her in the middle of an inferno.
Panic overwhelmed Ladybug as she ran toward her best friend. "ALYA!"
The junior reporter groaned as responded. Her phone was destroyed and laid in pieces in her hands. Ladybug rushed into the air and lassoed the biggest piece of rubble on her friend.
At the same time, the cries of more civilians flooded her hearing. Men and women were crying out for help inside some ruined buildings. "URAVITY! CAT NOIR!"
The two heroes in question leapt into action, bursting through the buildings to do whatever they could. Uraraka used the respirator that came with Midoriya's jacket before rescuing some civilians from a burning apartment building.
While they rescued civilians, Midoriya and Titan were still locked in battle. The inheritor flew over the villain and dealt a hammer strike against him, sending him back to earth. Uraraka, to better help the civilians, deactivated her Quirk on the akuma. Their combined efforts made the impact significantly stronger.
Blinded by his determination to win, Midoriya dealt another Delaware Smash in order to propel himself to the enemy. Titan regained his senses just in time to strike Midoriya, sending him straight into a building. The green inheritor crashed into a desk before resting in its splintered remains.
Back in the My Hero universe, the class continued to watch in fascination and horror. They watched when Midoriya steadied himself in the air before dealing what he called a Cosmic Smash on the villain. No one was more proud (Well, almost) than All Might. His pulse quickened before he dealt the strike.
Despite his pride in his student, All Might also felt a sense of fear. He used only 60% of One for All for that strike and it didn't have any lasting effects. What is this villain on?
Bakugo continued to watch from the back. He's using my tactics! That damn nerd keeps losing just to gain the advantage later on?! Dammit Deku...dammit!
Their attention changed to the screams of the civilians in that universe. The pro heroes all flinched as the calls rang out, their instincts immediately demanded that they spring into action. "Hey, so why are we still watching?" Mina wondered. "It's not doing us good just sitting here and watching that Titan guy destroy Paris."
Aoyama looked on with sad eyes. While it wasn't his Paris, it was still a Paris. "I almost can't look anymore," he commented.
"I mean, yeah its bad but why should we sit here when they're in trouble? Midoriya and Uraraka need our help!"
"Young Ashido, they do have help."
Everyone turned to All Might, including Inko. "Young Midoriya and Uraraka are being assisted by pro heroes. With all four of them, all bases are covered. In large-scale battles such as this, it's important to focus on the civilians first. All villains will exploit our desire to protect them, and thankfully with two of them being more mobile, Midoriya and Uraraka can focus on the villain," he explained.
"Even if this villain can overpower all of them?"
All Might smiled. "There is something else. The villain is focused on getting revenge the most. Young Midoriya told me about him after the incident in Camino Ward. A villain with a muscular augmentation Quirk is a dangerous combination, combined with blood lust to top it all off..."
Mr. Aizawa nodded. "It's not an easy task, especially given the circumstances. They're all showing tenacity just by answering the call to action," he said. "Though...I am concerned about Midoriya."
"Me too. He took the brunt force of that villain and now he's stronger than before?" All Might commented.
A moment of silence passed as they watched Midoriya crash into a nearby building. "Yeah...now that you mention it, Midoriya did look like he was defeated earlier...wonder how he got up to quick," Kirishima wondered.
Bakugo already knew the answer. He eyed the former pro hero sitting at the couch and growled in a low voice. It's not fair! Deku continues to get stronger with that damn Quirk of his while I'm busy blowing things up! And now he's basically indestructible against that villain. What, did he get another Quirk in that packaged deal of his?!
Back on the battlefield, Midoriya pulled a pencil from his hair, momentarily wondering if it was there since he was last at U.A. He threw it away and ran back out onto the street. Midoriya, I hope you have a plan, Nana commented.
I do, but it's taking a little longer to execute. His Quirk is strong against my attacks, but all Quirks have drawbacks. I figure that Titan can withstand a lot of damage, but he must have his limit.
You were mentioning it before, but I still don't understand.
All Quirks have limits, otherwise we would be considered gods instead of superhuman. After a certain number of hits, his Quirk falters for a moment before recovering. If I keep this up, enough of the metal body underneath will be exposed.
And your friends?
Well I...oh no!
Midoriya dove out of the way as a vehicle slammed into the ground from where he was. He noticed the vehicle bounce off the street and into a burning building. There was a split second before it hit where he saw Uraraka leading someone out of the fire.
Panic overwhelmed him as he watched the car sail through the air. He sped toward the building faster than he expected; he found himself with a second to spare before the car crushed Uraraka and the civilian. He stopped the car just at the moment of impact, sending the gravity heroine and her rescue to the ground.
Midoriya groaned in pain as he felt the weight of the car begin to settle on top of him. Titan grinned at the display, believing that he crushed all of them without really intending too.
Underneath the car, Midoriya was bracing it upward while Uraraka was shielding the civilian in her charge. The gravity hero looked up to see Midoriya struggling to keep it from crushing them. Before she could use her Quirk on it to help him, she witnessed something incredible.
The cuts and bruises around Midoriya's body began to fade. Blood that was trickling down from the crown of his head began to dry and his muscles began to swell. His energy seemed to surge within him as he began to move the car. "U-Uraraka, are you okay?" he asked.
His friend nodded her head. "I should be asking you the same. Here, let me he-"
"No."
Uraraka stopped her thought. Midoriya turned to her and smiled. "Focus on saving people, Uraraka. We shouldn't be stretched too thin between saving people and stopping him. I can keep Titan at bay until he is defeated. Be the hero you've always wanted to be," he said.
Uraraka's heart skipped a beat. Besides his words, the smile he wore assured her that what he was saying was coming from the heart. His smile reminded her of All Might, but with a more...personal touch. It was the smile of a scared young hero, determined to keep the people safe regardless of the situation.
Uraraka smiled as she tended to the civilian's wounds. Midoriya continued to struggle holding up the car until he felt renewed strength surge through him. One for All was pouring into him like a faucet pouring water into a tin cup. He slowly raised the car over his head and earned Titan's attention.
The akuma, his friends in their universe and even some of the spectators all turned to see Midoriya hoist the car. "Hey Titan, you have any idea how expensive petrol is?!" And then he threw the car.
Titan braced for impact and allowed the car to shatter over him. Once the debris was out of the way, the akuma saw Midoriya close behind it with his foot raised. "SMASH!"
A roundhouse kick connected with the akuma, nearly knocking him unconscious had he not been powered up. Titan staggered as Midoriya continued his assault. His footwork kept him from being a target as moved quickly through the battlefield. He threw several punches into Titan's core, causing little damage physically.
Hawkmoth reached out with his powers and felt pain and soreness throughout his body. "Titan, what's going on?!"
The akuma slammed his fist down but Midoriya dodged by leaping out of the way. In mid-air, the inheritor swung his leg up and connected with Titan's chin. The akuma staggered before swinging at the boy, barely managing a hit on his target. "I'm getting my ass kicked, Butterfly Man!" Titan bellowed.
"I told you: my name is Hawkmoth!"
The akuma growled as he managed a moment of rest. "I care about that as much as I care about the lives of these heroes: exactly zero! Now shut up and let me concentrate!"
The villain across Paris gripped his cane and began to seethe in anger. His face burning red underneath his mask. "Listen to me Titan! I will accept defeat in this case if you continue to ignore my orders and test my patience! Take their Miraculouses or I take back your power!"
Titan dodged a flying tire from Midoriya. "Do it, and I'll find you. I'll crush you like the bug you are, Butterfly Man. I know who you are and where you are!"
Ladybug, as she helped Alya out of the rubble, heard the akuma's proclamation. She shared a look with her best friend before moving her away from the scene. "He knows where Hawkmoth is?"
"Yeah, and from the sounds of it, they're having an argument. Mari-Ladybug, you need that information," Alya said with wide eyes and a sense of urgency in her voice.
"But he needs to be stopped here. I doubt he would reveal that information unless..."
The two friends shared a look. "Unless Hawkmoth takes his powers away! He would want revenge!"
A roar echoed through the streets before Midoriya was sent flying past the two friends. He crashed into the windshield of a parked car. "DEKU!"
Uraraka called out to her friend for a brief moment before the akuma targeted her. She leapt out of the way of Titan as he jumped to her location. She had gotten the last civilian out of the way and she kept low to the ground. Her fingers grazed the street as Titan tried to crush her. Debris flew into the air as Uraraka expertly dodged the attacks.
Ladybug marveled at her footwork and noticed her stance. Alya grabbed her best friend's shoulder and motioned to above them both. The spotted heroine's eyes widened and gasped as she saw a cloud of concrete and stone hovering above them.
In their universe, Kirishima smiled and turned to Bakugo. "Hey man, this look familiar?"
"SHUT UP! I'M TRYING TO WATCH THE FIGHT!" The explosive hero bellowed.
Kirishima smirked and turned back to the scene. Bakugo, however, smiled lightly. She's just like Deku; she took a defeat and improved on it to continue the fight! They've been training all this time then, he thought. His glare and smile went unnoticed by everyone except Inko.
Back on the battlefield, Uraraka continued to dance around the raging Titan. More debris flew into the air and was unnoticed by the villain. Finally, Titan punched the ground and found his fist lodged between some pipes below. As Uraraka moved away from the scene, she smiled at the villain. "I hope you brought an umbrella. Cosmic Meteor Shower!"
She brought her fingers together, bringing down a hailstorm of debris from the air. Titan barely noticed until the first pebble knocked on his head. He screamed in pain as heavy concrete dropped onto the villain and pelted his head and back. The storm bought her enough time to run to her friend in the car.
Midoriya was just pulling himself out of the vehicle when Uraraka arrived. "Deku, you okay?" she asked.
The green inheritor nodded and looked up at her with a smile on his face. "I'm alright. I saw what you did Uraraka. That was awesome and you remembered some of our training!"
The gravity girl smiled and helped him to his feet. In the crater, Titan had pulled his hand out from the ground and began to dig himself out of the rubble. Midoriya stepped forward with One for All charged. "He's almost done; he's got to be tiring out right about now," he deduced.
Uraraka stepped forward and stood next to him. "Then we'll take him down together!"
"But Titan-"
"A true hero is always ready to jump into danger, despite the odds. To protect the people and be ready to sacrifice everything for the good of the innocent. Deku, I am the hero I know I can be, but I know I can go beyond. There's no point in holding me back because of how strong he is."
Midoriya was speechless. Uraraka gave a thumbs up and held a smile. "Let's do this Deku!"
The inheritor smiled. "Alright then. We need to break the Quirk and take down his akumatized form. He already sustained enough damage before he powered up, so we have a good chance. If we can do that, then we can win."
Titan freed himself from the rubble and stood tall...except for the limp he had in his leg. "Batter up, Uraraka," he said. "Let me go get the ball first."
"I'll help." And together, the two charged at the villain. Midoriya grabbed Uraraka by the arm and tossed her onto his back. Once she was latched on, the inheritor poured more of his power into his legs and blasted off toward the villain.
Titan, now feeling the strain of his Quirk and the magic enveloping him, leapt out of the trash around him with his fist poised to strike. The two powers clashed in the middle of the street with Midoriya's Shoot Style landing a solid hit. The strike clotheslined the villain, allowing the two heroes to regain their footing.
Titan managed to regain his footing and stopped from bouncing down the street. He dug his hand into the ground and managed to pull out a large chunk of street before hurling it at them.
Before either of them could react, Ladybug launched her yo-yo and wrapped it around the debris. With a mighty tug, the spotted heroine destroyed the projectile before landing next to them. The duo flashed a wide smile before turning their attention to Titan...
Who was currently charging at them with a massive wall of pure akumatized muscle.
Midoriya had a second to react as he let go of Uraraka, letting her drop to the ground. He sped forward and ready to meet the same attack that nearly defeated him before on the cliffside. "One for All...85%!"
Titan was laughing maniacally. "DIE IZUKU MIDORIYA!"
The two powers connected, sending highly pressurized air all around them. Titan braced himself on the ground and pushed down with all of his might, trying to crush the young inheritor.
Inko screamed as she saw her son take the full force of the attack. "Izuku!"
Everyone watching the fight were all preparing for the second they would be needed. Most of them already had their Quirks prepared as if the fight was right in front of them. Everyone was braced on the edge of their seat, especially All Might himself, but he no longer was watching out of fear.
The pressure was strong against the young inheritor. He felt himself sinking into the ground much like before, but it wasn't out of a lack of strength; it was due because Titan had a more secure base. "C'MON KID! SHOW ME THAT POWER! SHOW ME HOW YOU WON LAST TIME!"
Midoriya strained against the power. Izuku, we are ready to bestow full power. Tell me when and we will finish this! Nana Shimura called out to him.
His muscles burned as his stance began to weaken. Midoriya was finally feeling tired, but despite the situation, he looked up to meet the akuma's hateful gaze. And he smiled.
The sudden gesture startled the villain for a second, but he kept the pressure on him to prevent another mistake. "Wha-Why! Why are you smiling?!" He demanded from his prey.
Midoriya shifted his weight. "Be-Because, I learned something. See...I thought you were right before! I was weaker than you, and I nearly lost had Kota not intervened. B-But now I realize: not even the Symbol of Peace can wipe out crime!"
All Might felt a few passing looks from his students. "I know what the League wants! They want chaos and a world without All Might, but it'll never come to pass! So long as there is one hero left in the world, no amount of evil will prevail! You will never win, Hawkmoth!"
Uraraka and the remaining heroes were standing by, their original plan shot out of the window by Titan's sudden attack. "Wha-what's happening?" Ladybug asked.
Uraraka shrugged as she watched. "Muscular!" Midoriya screamed into the air.
"WHAT!"
The inheritor's smile only widened. His eyes shone bright with his Quirk as he finally fixed his stance. The pressure against him was no longer an issue for him as he could finally secure a firm base under his feet. "I-I promise you this! So-So long as I live and breathe, I won't ever let you win! I won't let you hurt anyone else...ever again!"
Midoriya began to push against the villain's attack, scaring said individual and Hawkmoth on the other side of the city. "No one dies tonight! And why is that?"
All Might rose from his seat. He knew what was coming next.
Midoriya's eyes were bright green now, almost as if they were about to catch fire. "Because I...Because I AM HERE!"
The former number one hero leapt into the air with a wide smile on his face. "YES! GO YOUNG MIDORIYA!"
At that moment, he lowered his stance, causing Titan to lose his footing. With a flick of his fingers, Midoriya broke through the villain's muscular wall. "Hear these words: GO BEYOND!"
Power surged through him as he leapt into Titan's face with his fist raised. "PLUS ULTRA!"
Midoriya's punch connected with the side of Titan's cheek, blasting him far down the street with ease. He bounced off of the street multiple times before coming to a stop thanks to a parked bus. Midoriya stomped onto the ground, cracking the concrete effortlessly. Tendrils of green energy sparked off of his body as his eyes burned bright. "Ur...Uraraka?" He mumbled.
"Yeah?"
Midoriya turned to her with a gentle smile on his face. A smile that she fell for many times back home and even in an alternate dimension. "Don't miss."
The gravity heroine smiled and nodded. "Cat Noir, she may need some help. Ladybug: I hope you're ready because this one will need a strong Lucky Charm," he said.
The spotted heroine smiled. "Bring it home, you two."
Midoriya nodded. He breathed a careful breath and summoned all that was left. "One for All...100%."
The full power of the shared Quirk filled him. His eyes shimmered as he blasted off toward the villain. The speed couldn't be accurately described by any in attendance except that he was gone in the blink of an eye. Reaching All Might's top speed was easy for the hero as he blasted into the villain and delivered a driving front kick into his core.
Titan groaned in pain as he felt his Quirk waver. The hero leapt away from him and delivered a rising uppercut with enough force to raise him a few inches off of the ground. Midoriya leapt into the air and delivered an instant axe kick, slamming the villain into the ground.
As Titan tried to recover, Midoriya launched several punches into his core, sending shockwaves throughout his body. The villain limped toward the bus that stopped him. He swung the bus, knocking the young inheritor backward before throwing the large vehicle toward him.
With a second to react, Midoriya leapt through the windshield of the bus and ran down the aisle before smashing through the rear of the vehicle. Titan couldn't react as the young inheritor landed a solid punch to the face.
While Midoriya worked to soften him up, Ladybug called her final Lucky Charm. The magic delivered a small device the size of a quarter with an 'S' symbol on it. The device had no significant application until her Lucky Vision scanned the battlefield.
Uraraka was highlighted as well as a random statue honoring the two heroes close by. Cat Noir had joined and he was highlighted as well. Finally, Midoriya was highlighted as well as the Eiffel Tower directly head of them.
The spotted heroine knew what to do. "I got it. Uraraka, this thing belongs with you!" She said.
The gravity heroine looked surprised. "Re-Really? This looks like that Full Gauntlet that Deku got at I-Island..." she said as she picked it out of her hand.
"Trust me, I know. Cat Noir, it looks like we are finally indulging in America's Pastime!" She said.
"Aw man, and I was just in the mood for a Dodger Dog!" He retorted as he spied the statue nearby. "CATACLYSM!"
He destroyed the base of the statue, leaving the depiction of Ladybug and Cat Noir standing back to back on the ground. Uraraka pressed the device to the underside of her wrist and pressed the button on top. The device released a ribbon of light before creating a bind that enveloped her entire forearm and even wrapping around her shoulder.
She ran over to the statue and picked it up with her Quirk. "READY!"
Ladybug smiled. "BATTER AT PLATE! BOTTOM OF THE NINTH!"
Upon hearing those words, Midoriya knew it was time to send him home. He launched a flurry of strikes at Titan's core before launching another uppercut to the villain's jawline. He swooped in and grabbed the tattered remains of his tank top and swung him at great speed before turning toward Uraraka. "THE PITCH IS OUT..."
At the last possible moment, Midoriya let go of Titan's top and threw him with all of his strength toward his friend. Uraraka raised the statue and prepared to swing with all of her might. Everyone in their universe sat at the edge of their seats, ready for her special move.
"Comet Home Run! Inter-dimensional Version!"
Uraraka swung the statue at the moment before Titan arrived; however, he was fast.
Titan regained his consciousness long enough to see the plan being carried out and countered. He swung at the statue, effectively destroying it in the gravity heroine's hands. With murder in his eye, he prepared his free hand for the strike that would deliver him his much-requested blood.
Midoriya's heart stopped as a vision of what would happen played out. His best friend and secret crush would be killed the second his fist connected with her head and the bloodbath against Paris would begin. "Izuku, MOVE!"
Moving on instinct, Midoriya sped toward the villain. He stopped in between both Titan and Uraraka with a fierce determination in his eyes. Like I said, Titan. No one dies here tonight!
Against his own reservations, Midoriya poured One for All into his right arm. The energy from past users overwhelmed him as he felt the calming presence of Nana Shimura behind him.
One for All!
One for All!
100%!
100%
Titan realized his mistake at the last possible moment. Butterfly Man...
Midoriya's stance shifted and his hips pivoted. We lost...
Yorktown!
Yorktown!
"SMAAAAAASSSSHHHH!"
He drove his fist into Titan's core, delivering an abundance of energy throughout his body. The full force of One for All surged through his body as the impact launched the villain through the air. The force of the impact also send a burst of wind throughout the city so strong, it was only by luck no one was hurt.
The heroes behind Midoriya were all sent flying backward. Cat Noir and Ladybug latched onto structures that kept them from flying away while the spotted heroine caught Uraraka. Everyone else, from Alya to some of the civilians rescues, managed to brace themselves thanks to the structures that were already supporting them.
The impact of Midoriya's smash sent a particular shockwave through Titan's psychic link directly toward Hawkmoth. This time, he felt the force of the impact in his gut and he was sent flying into the wall. The glass of his observation deck was shattered, frightening the butterflies in the room. The villain slammed into the wall before falling to the ground, unconscious.
The Yorktown Smash sent Titan flying through the air and up the Tower. His 'Serious' eyepatch, which housed the akuma, fell off upon initial impact. Titan screamed in pain and in anger as he flew into the rift above the city, shattering the crack and sending energy all around the country.
Back in their universe, everyone in the 1-A dorms were cheering at their victory, barely noticing the rift above the school sparkling with energy once again. Titan's normal form, back to the original Muscular, was sent soaring through the air before crashing into the ocean, sending giant waves away from Musutafu.
All Might, meanwhile, was standing in place with tears welling in his eyes. His smile was wide and his heart was racing at hundreds of miles an hour. Young Midoriya...you did it! I'm going to kick your ass when you get back, but you did it!
As he watched the footage from the crack, Inko continued to stare dumbfounded at the images. At this point, it was as if her heart stopped beating for several minutes. She watched her son destroy the villain and he wasn't injured in the slightest. While everyone was cheering, she looked over at the former number one pro hero and sighed.
As the dust settled back in Paris, Ladybug and Cat Noir found their senses once again as they dropped to the ground. Uraraka looked up at the Eiffel Tower and sighed before sitting down on the ground. Ladybug scanned the area around her to survey the damage and saw just truly how much that punch meant.
The streets, previously littered with ruined cars and debris from ruined builds, were cleared. No windows were left on any building as the winds died down around them. The previously overcast sky was now as clear as could be. The weather even changed from the punch.
Which reminded her of the moment before it all happened. They were too close to Titan to effectively retreat, and just as they were about to die, Midoriya arrived faster than she expected. He didn't express that power before, so why now?
Cat was also surveying the area. "Whoa...Midoriya did all this?" he wondered.
Ladybug nodded. "Makes you wonder what else he's hiding, huh?"
Cat said nothing as his ears folded back. Ladybug's eyes widened as she realized something. "Cat...remember Heroes' Day?" she asked.
"How could I forget? An army of akuma against the people of Paris isn't something I can forget," he said.
"But...think about it: if they were here, Midoriya and Uraraka, we would've won. Hawkmoth defeated and Nooroo safe and sound," she said.
Cat nodded. He slumped over, relaxing his shoulders as he hung his head. "Thank goodness we survived," he commented.
Uraraka nodded. She looked onward toward the Tower to see a cloud of dust dissipating from where Midoriya was earlier. The figure of the young inheritor began to appear, startling the heroes on both sides of the rift. The celebrations in the dorm rooms of 1-A ceased as the cloud settled.
There was Midoriya hunched over but still on his feet. His undershirt had been completely destroyed and scratches and battle scars were evident all around his body. Blood dripped from his head and onto the street. Both of his arms were hanging deadweight with his right arm a deep shade of purple. His elbow region appeared to have been shredded.
The resident heroes of Paris watched the young hero appear. Uraraka simply stared with wide eyes at the sight.
And then, Midoriya twitched. He struggled to raise his head as he straightened his back. Dark purple splotches appeared all around his body as he stood straight up and moved his right arm. He coughed blood as he raised his head up.
All Might and Uraraka watched with butterflies in their stomachs for different reasons. Uraraka was telling her body to move and be there to help him while All Might saw something else. He saw that Midoriya was still alive and ready to proclaim to the world...
"You are here, Young Midoriya," he muttered, earning a low eep from Inko.
Midoriya began to raise his arm up, obviously struggling to move it thanks to his injury. He clenched his fist as he raised his arm up high and activated Full Cowling at 1%, barely activating the green arcs of energy.
Uraraka smiled as she rose to her feet. The sun was just rising over Paris and sunlight was seeping through the Eiffel Tower. His body cast a silhouette over the heroes as the gravity heroine approached him. In a move that surprised many, and thankfully captured by Alya using a spare phone, Midoriya began to scream into the air.
His scream echoed throughout the city, letting everyone know the battle was over, and Team Miraculous was on top.
And that...is the end of the Titan arc. Master Fu's battle is still being written so don't expect a 2-day update. I'll have more to talk about later. Ciao!
