"It's over, Promethys! Stay your forces and surrender now!" Shoto ordered.
"Did he seriously just say 'stay your forces'?" Hanta snickered as he had wrapped up several of the mysterious purple creatures for the police.
Promethys turned around to observe the scene. The portals had closed and his legions were either captured or dead, scattered across the valley and surrounded by heroes and police officers.
"Come on, heroes! Whatever launched into the sky, everyone afflicted with the virus is making speedy recoveries now!" The radio in their earpieces cried out in gratitude.
Promethys sighed. "I see what must be done now."
Izuku narrowed his eyes at the monster.
"You're all so content with the limitations to your powers now that you refuse to give them up for something much greater!" He roared and faced the two young heroes who stood closest to him.
"I offer unlimited power! And universal protection! You think I'm the only otherworldly being in existence?...You have no idea. All I am here for is to offer your species power and protection, all you have to do is surrender yourselves and your abilities to me." He continued.
"You're in no position to bargain, villain!" Izuku shouted.
Ochako and Momo watched from the roof at the scene below.
"I am no common criminal here. I am a god." Promethys said with all of his eyes glowing brightly.
"All units, open fire!" A police captain ordered.
Izuku and Shoto backed away as guns from almost every direction fired on the villain.
A large blue bubble formed over his body, sticking all of the bullets inside of the film like flies on fly paper.
He waited until the police stopped. Then he tore the bubble away with ease and lifted his hand toward the dam above.
Promethys roared and groaned as his hand clenched into a fist. Simultaneously, the dam cracked apart like nothing. The villain then swung his fist forward as the dam collapsed all at once.
"SHOTO!" Izuku shouted.
Instinctively, Shoto slammed his boot forward and unleashed a wave of ice that blocked the waves of water from spilling forth.
"Cellophane, Sugarman, Uravity, you three assemble any other heroes to pick up as many pieces of the dam and fill the cracks fast!" Detective Tsukauchi ordered from his radio. He suffered serious scratches from the alien monsters before the heroes took them down.
"Shoto, Deku, Ground Zero, you three take out Promethys...don't go easy on him. I've got a bad feeling about him." The detective said.
Promethys turned toward the two. "Ground Zero. I wonder if he meant-"
KABOOM
Katsuki appeared from behind and Howitzer blasted the villain at point-blank range.
The impact was so close to Shoto and Izuku that it melted through most of the sudden ice wall Shoto put between them for protection. He didn't have enough time to form a thicker one.
Katsuki landed on his feet facing the spot where the villain was hit.
As the smoke cleared and the ice melted, the three watched as Promethys's body, laying on the ground charred and broken, began to regenerate itself back.
"No you don't!" Katsuki reached forward to blast him again, only for Promethys to freeze time for a second more, too weak to simply freeze time for much longer than two seconds. Just enough to reform his legs and arms, but not his hands.
Still, he forced the growth of a long spike on one of his arms in place of a hand and lunged forward.
Izuku used Black Whip, wrapping it around Katsuki's torso and pulling him out of the way of the incoming spike.
"First I'll take out the more morally-bound of the warriors!" Promethys announced, continuing his charge forward. His spike arm shrunk down and transformed back into his hand.
Izuku and Shoto ran to meet him head-on. Both refused to show fear.
Before they could clash, Promethys grabbed them both by their shirts and then disappeared from the scene entirely.
The police and heroes stopped and looked.
"NOOO!" Ochako screamed.
Momo grabbed her and held her from running to the scene. "They're not gone! It looks like Promethys used a teleportation Quirk on them."
"Wherever they went...they'll finish him off." Tenya added from his perspective as he rushed to help Katsuki stand on his feet again.
Katsuki threw his arm away from Tenya's help and stood up on his own. "Where the hell did he take them?!"
Everyone looked at each other in silence, hoping someone knew the answers to what was happening.
Nucleon, now wrapped in several restraints, chuckled. "Promethys challenges every planet's defenders, only the ones whose hearts are set to something not of his own. He's never lost a battle. He's never not taken a planet."
"Silence!" An officer commanded and hit him in the head with the butt of his gun.
Momo looked on as Ochako resumed picking up large pieces of the dam and lifting them up into the air.
"Please be okay..." She whispered, hoping, somehow, that her Shoto was listening.
Meanwhile, Promethys emerged out of thin air along with Izuku and Shoto who were instantly flung back in opposite directions of the villain.
Izuku landed on something rather soft, but very cold. He sat up and took a quick observation of where he was taken. All around them were trees, hills, and snow. Nothing more.
"A remote place, far from civilization. I sense great power in each of you. And your spirits are that of fighters, and commanders. Your acts seem to inspire in the very least." Promethys explained. "Here is where I challenge you to a death battle."
"You're insane!" Shoto hissed focusing a large hot beam of fire at the villain.
He turned his body and blocked the attack with his right side, freezing the air in front of him and turning the fire to steam.
Izuku leapt at him at supersonic speed, activating Full Cowling at the highest percentage he could handle and slammed both feet into Promethys's back.
His body slammed forward and dragged through the snow and dirt for a few meters until crashing through a tree trunk completely.
Izuku jumped off and activated Black Whip, binding Promethys's arms and legs like a captured wild animal.
Shoto stood beside him. "Surrender. You've lost."
"I haven't shown you all that I can do." Promethys hissed. His tattoos began to glow.
"You have an impressive ability. That of your mother...and your father. You're unstoppable." He said.
Shoto glared in hatred at the villain on the ground.
"Easy, Shoto." Izuku warned him. "He could do anything right now."
"However, the cost of using both ice and fire, weakens both of them within you. I much rather prefer your father's exact Quirk." Promethys continued.
Flames ignited across his pink body in patterns like those of Endeavor.
"And your mother's Quirk as well."
Ice patterns darted across his body and intersected with the flames lining up with his veins.
The two heroes backed away.
"Midoriya, move!" Shoto ordered and pushed them both back.
Izuku felt Black Whip disintegrate as uncontrollable waves of intense heat and freezing air ripped through the valley they were thrown into.
Everywhere around them, trees were burnt to ash instantly, rocks froze and crumbled under ice, snow turned to steam then refroze as ice.
Izuku jumped back and forth dodging large incoming waves of fire and ice. He could feel the heat even from a considerable distance singeing his eyebrows and parts of his hero costume then freeze his skin blue.
Shoto remained stationary trying to combat the incoming waves with countering attacks. When a wave of fire approached, he unleashed as much ice as he could, watching it melt almost faster than he could conjure it. When a wave of ice approached, he let his fire burn beyond control, burning his shirt halfway to nothing.
Izuku noticed this from the corner of his eye and turned his attention, suffering a blow of fire to the back in the meantime.
"Izuku!" Shoto yelled out.
Gathering up strength despite the burning pain in his back, Izuku lunged forward and scooped up his friend, carrying them both far away.
"Hiding, are we?" Promethys's voice echoed through the valley as if he were standing meters away.
Izuku set Shoto on his feet, nearly dropping him in the act.
"Midoriya, you're hurt badly!" Shoto pointed out.
"I know. H-How are you doing?" Izuku tried to turn the attention to Shoto's fragile relationship with both of his parents. Watching a villain use both his mother's and his father's Quirks against him must not be a joyride either.
"I'm...I'm fine. But we need to end this now." Shoto said sternly. "I don't think either of us can last much longer against this freak."
Promethys emerged from the trees. Ones on his left side burned to ash while ones on his right froze over and shattered like glass as he marched toward the heroes.
"Two against one? I don't think so." Promethys said. With a stomp of his foot, the ground shook.
In the distance, where the ground rose to where the ground descended, an entire hill was ripped out of the earth and floated toward the fight.
"What is that?!" Izuku questioned in vain.
Promethys laughed evilly as the mound of earth hurled towards them.
Izuku activated every percentage of One For All in his body and tried to break the mass apart with a good hit at the center, but it was too dense, and carried him off as it traveled over Shoto's head and crashed into the nearby trees.
"IZUKU!" He screamed. His emotions were now overtaking him.
Promethys marched closer and closer, confident that the fighting didn't need anymore speed to it.
Shoto lowered his head, then turned to the towering villain who was slowly approaching.
"Feel my power, monster." He hissed.
Lifting both his right and his left hands, both fire and ice emerged from his body at the same time. Endless. Streaming from him without limit. Building from each other and maintaining a chaotic balance.
Promethys was blasted back, feeling the intense effects of fire and ice destroying his body and the surrounding land.
Shoto yelled as he continued his endless onslaught on the villain.
While he countered with both the fire and ice of his parents, and slowly marched forward. If not for the dramatic temperature changes, or the burning and freezing extremes, the sheer force of it.
Promethys roared out as sprouted large wings on his back and launched off the ground out of range as the wings flapped then disappeared back into his shoulder blades and sent him back down to the ground above the half-n-half hero.
Shoto lunged out of the way as the villain slammed on the ground with his fist. But before he could swing back and blast him, Promethys rushed at him and kicked him to the ground on his back.
The villain planted his large foot on Shoto's chest and pressed down firmly.
"Augh!" He yelled.
"You're full of tricks, boy. But despite having the powers of your mother and your father in you, I am the one standing." Promethys said looking down on him.
Suddenly, a green flash shot by and blasted Promethys away, transferring kinetic energy to him and launching his pink body into the side of a mountain.
"You throw another hill at me, and I'm going to lose it!" Izuku shouted angrily. He stood strong despite his numerous injuries, cuts, bruises, burns, and some splinters.
Promethys tore out of the crevice his body made and stared down Izuku with all nine of his eyes. "Izuku Midoriya."
