AN:Hey peeps, new chapter here and a new chapter of the new year. As I said last chapter through the month of January and February I will be working on this story and this story alone. Now I hope by the time Feb is over I will done season three. This arc has a total of four chapter left. Chapter 31 being a filler chapter for the next season. Now onto the reviews
Shonaku: Just wait and see my man
MasterBlade47: Both hallucination and foreshadowing
Xaro5: My version of Bane is very different from DC. He has grudge against Shadow and he wants to kill him. A grudge that much different than anyone else. Shadow, Bane, and two more characters are very important to this Story. As for the power, they are roughly equal with Shadow ahead of Izuku. Shadow doesn't hold back, he doesn't show mercy, he doesn't have a line. Where Izuku on the other hand tends to hold back his power so he doesn't kill anyone. Black Mask vs Shadow is going to one of the best fights in season when I write it. I have Black Mask powers already selected and it will be able to go toe to toe Shadow's power. It's going to a brutal fight and intense fight.
Alright that's it for reviews, like always review, comment, and enjoy the reading. Peace peeps.

Chapter 27: Shadow vs Pyro
Shadow and Pyro looked each other in the eyes, red eyes that were once green glared at the sick and demented arsonist. Pyro has been waiting for this for a long time, it was time he put Shadow in his place. He will burn him alive and his brunt, charred body will make the perfect piece of art.
"It's been too long, mate. I mean the last time that we were together I believe you ordered me to burn down that village in Africa." Shadow looked indifferent, he didn't care about his past actions. All he wanted was his hands around the agents throat and the answers to where Bullseye is.
"Where is he? Where is Bullseye?" Shadow demanded the question be answered. Sabertooth told him that Bullseye knows where Wesker is. If he finds Bullseye, he gets Wesker. Then he can kill them both. Shadow will get answers and no one will stop him.
"H-Hey...you." Pyro looked down at Copperhead who was still struggling to breath, the maniac could see that Shadow did a number on her. "L-Let's...work together, we can split the money in half." Copperhead believed that he would take the deal, why not. With the two of them they should be able to succeed in killing him. Even with one arm, she could still use her poison on him. This time she'll hit him with a stronger dose.
Copperhead believed that, but she was wrong when she saw the smile on Pyro's face. "Thanks love, but he and I some unfinished business. Besides everyone knows that three's a crowd, so why don't I put you out of your misery." Copperhead widen her silted eyes as Pyro aimed towards her and flames ignited.
"N-No-NO! NO! AHHHH!" Copperhead screamed as Pyro burned the snake alive, Shadow smelling her burning flesh in the air. Everyone was in horror at what they saw, some had never seen anything like this. When the flames stopped Copperhead was now black, charred, and unmoving.
"Wooo...now that some burnt snake meat. Hahaha!" The sick arsonist laughed as he turned his eyes towards his former comrades in arms. Now it was just the two of them.
Shadow knew that he could've stopped Pyro from killing her, he just didn't choose to save her. Her death didn't matter to him, so he didn't care and the look on his face told the story. His face was impassive, blank, emotionless, everything that weapon should be. When Pyro turned his head to look at Shadow's now red eyes.
"Ohh, the new eyes make look soooo scary." Pyro laughed, while the teen himself looked impassive. "What? You're not made that killed that girl?" Shadow titled his head, confused by the question.
"Why should I care what happens to her?" Everyone including the Family widen their eyes when they heard that. Something was off about him, when the camera went to face him everyone could see that there was indeed something different about Izuku.
The eyes for one, but the look on his face told the story. Izuku classmates and teachers had never seen this before, but the Family has. They knew what this was and if Pyro knew any better he would start praying that Shadow gives him a merciful kill.
"In my opinion she got what she deserved. Her death does not affect me at all, but you on the other hand," Pyro saw Shadow disappear and before he could react his throat was in the hand of that said teen. "You will tell me where Bullseye is." Shadow told him darkly as he began to squeeze the life out of him.
"Ack…I heard that you were gone...but it looks like the rumors were false." Pyro still laughed even while being choked by teen. "Hehe...you're still there...ack." Pyro was cut off when Shadow squeezed his neck tighter.
"I'm running out of patience, Pyro. Answers, now!" Pyro smiled at him and gave him his answer.
"Why don't you come and get them, old friend." Pyro bought enough time and threw a grenade at Shadow's face. The teen widened his eyes he saw the circular device, he knew what Pyro just threw.
'Incendiary!' The device exploded and Shadow was caught in a fire explosion, he let go Pyro's neck and tried to move away, but the arsonist used his quirk to control the fire, to trap Shadow. Pyro flexed his fingers as the fire began to entrapped Shadow in a cocoon of fire.
"Burn!" Pyro lifted his hands up and sent the flame ball with Shadow inside into the air, when he brought them down the ball came as well. Shadow was burning because of the intense heat and felt himself fall to the ground, within seconds he crashed to the ground with high impact. The teen began to pat himself, trying to put himself out.
When he got up his shirt was burned off revealing his chest, he had burns on his body, his pants now became shorts, and he was steaming...literally. Toga dropped her order, her jaw, and her tongue came rolling out of her mouth like a red carpet when she saw the bare chest of Shadow, the burns on his body making him look even more hot. No pun intended.
Toga was not only one for many of the ladies watching had dropped their jaws, Shadow body looked like it was sculpted out of marble. He was true adonis to them, an adonis they wanted for themselves.
"Mmmm...that body." Knockout said as she was eyeing Shadow like piece of candy. Dabi looked like at her confusedly, the elder teen knew that she was gay.
"Aren't you gay?" Dabi asked her and Knockout smiled knowingly.
"I'm technically bi." The mercenary told him as she went to help Toga put her mouth back together.
Shadow growled at Pyro, he was pissed. Mostly at himself than Pyro, he should have known that the arsonist was trying to bait him and like idiot he fell for it. Shadow hands made fist as he was about to make Pyro pay for setting him on fire and then once his body was broken he could get his answers.
The arson had a sick smile on his face as he activated his gauntlets, he was about to let Shadow have a taste of the flames.
Shadow charged at the Australian as the former agent activated his flamethrowers, the agent aimed them forward as Shadow was coming towards him.
"Burn, Shadow!" Pyro screamed as large flames came out of his weapon, orange flames blazed towards Shadow and the teen widened his eyes as the flames approached. 'The flames, they're faster than before!" Shadow thought as he used his flash step to dodge out of the way.
Pyro was not going to let it be that easy for him as he used his quirk, Flame Manipulation, to bring the flames around. Shadow looked back and saw the flames take shape of rapid dogs, the teen cursed and began to run for his life. Shadow ran as the flaming dogs chased after him, Pyro laughed at scene. The Ultimate Weapon being chased by dogs, it was funny as hell to him. He would show everyone that Shadow is nothing but a boy.
"HAHAHAHA! What's wrong Shadow? Don't tell your afraid of some dogs. Hehe...I promise that won't bite, much." Shadow ignored Pyro's mocking as he continued to run, the teen looked back to see the dogs. He didn't have any water quirks to take them out, but he did have the power of wind at his disposal.
Shadow would channel OFA to his fingers and when he turned around he aimed them at the dogs. When he let go a gust of wind was fired like bullet at the fire and doused them.
"That's a new trick." Pyro said surprised as he fired a wave of flames at the teen, Shadow looked the flames and charged at them. He was tired of this game and it was time remind Pyro just who the hell he is.
Shadow went in full cowl, but it was different. Originally when used that form it would be green lighting sparkling around him, but for some reason the lighting was red. The red lighting danced around his body as his eyes were locked the wave of orange flames.
"His lighting...it changed." All Might whispered, he's not sure if anyone heard him since their eyes were locked on the television. All Might was not the only one that saw this as Gran Torino did as well, he's fought the boy long enough to know that green was his color not red. Question on both their mind is: What could the red mean?
Shadow picked up speed as the flames edged closer, when the moment arrived he exploded in a burst of speed. The speed allowed him to charge through the flames leaving a hole, Pyro himself widen his eyes as he saw the weapon.
Shadow may have made through the flames, but he wasn't unscathed as he was on fire in some places. But that didn't matter to the teen, what mattered was that his target was right in front of him and he was about to make him bleed.
"Oh shit!" Pyro panicked, he tried to move, but one punch to the gut ended all that. Pyro felt Shadow punch and it almost made him throw up his insides, if it wasn't for the armor he was wearing this punch might've killed him. Shadow had successfully attacked Pyro, but he was far from done.
He dug his punch deep into the arsonist gut making Pyro coughed up some blood. Then he brought his punch out in a quick motion he grabbed his head and brought it to his knee.
When he released it Pyro's head snapped back up and blood was running down his nose. The nose was probably broken, but Shadow was not done. Shadow initiated a beatdown by throwing straight and vicious jabs, the jabs backing up the fire user.
Shadow then throw a thunderous right hook that sent Pyro's face the other way and he followed up with a thunderous spinning elbow. When he saw the arsonist dazed he spartan kicked him through a wall. Before Pyro hit the wall he bounced on the concrete like ball and then crashed through the wall.
Shadow walked up the wall slowly and menacingly, like a predator arriving to kill his prey. When Shadow arrived at the wall he saw orange light, he widened his eyes when he realized what that was coming. A flaming dragon was making a beeline for him, Shadow rolled out of the dragon's way. When he looked up he saw Pyro glaring at him at him, his goggles were off so now he could see his eyes and the former agent's eyes looked liked pure flames.
"That hurt Shadow." Pyro told him as he spit out some blood, his nose was definitely broken for a large cut was on the bridge and blood was flowing down quickly.
"And you got upgrades." Shadow said knowingly, there was no way that his flames could move that fast. Implants were the only answer that his mind came to. Shadow got up from the ground and got ready for round two.
"You want to know something about the artist, Shadow." Pyro spoke to the weapon, Shadow though narrowed his eyes.
"I've never been one for art." Pyro begun to smile now and Shadow became on guard. He knew that Pyro was planning something, but he didn't know what.
"Artist must always come prepared to create their work. They bring all the tools necessary be it a canvas, paint, pencil, hehehe…or even bombs!" Shadow winded his eyes as Pyro activated a detonator and he looked around the forest to see it light up red. Everyone including Shadow eyes became saucers as the bombs activated and fires began to explode everywhere. As the explosions were commencing everyone could hear the sick laughter of the arsonist.
"This is my art, fire. People call me an arsonist, but I am a true artist and the world is my canvas to set on fire!" Pyro preached to the skies as a massive forest fire began, the fire was so large that people living in the Hosu could see the massive cloud of smoke hovering over them.
Shadow watched as Pyro cackled, he was going to stop this. Shadow charged at Pyro and the arson now with ammunition everywhere thanks to the forest fire, he used the flames to his advantage. Pyro hands made fist and the fire began to morph into large flaming fist. Shadow saw the fist coming towards and moved out of the way, the fist hit the ground with much force that it created a crater.
Shadow didn't stop though, he kept running even as Pyro ran down flaming fist at him. The arson began to become cocky as he created a large pillar made of flames. A pillar to look down on Shadow as he was insignificant ant.
Shadow weaved around the fist, he had to reach Pyro. He saw a tree that was still standing and wasn't too badly burnt. The teen flashed to the tree and began to run up it, Pyro saw this and brought his hands up like he was ordering a London symphony. The flames followed Pyro command and began to set ablaze the large tree.
Shadow felt the tree began to shift as the flames were burning it down, he looked back saw that he was high enough. Shadow leapt off the tree at high speed and aimed straight for the madman. Pyro saw this coming and aimed his flamethrowers at the teen.
"Burn, little brother." Pyro fired his flames at Shadow and for the first time for everyone they heard him scream.
"AAAHHH!" The scream of Shadow pierced through everyone ears, including Midnight as she screamed out her son's name. The many drones that were now in the area saw the body Izuku catch fire as he fell to the ground covered in flames.
When the teen hit the ground instincts kicked in and he started to roll on the ground, trying to get rid of the flames. He ultimately did, but the damage was done. Shadow's body was now badly burnt, his body looked charred and his hair was gone. Pyro cackled loudly as he saw the defeated body of Shadow lying on the ground unmoving.
No one could believe it, not All Might, not Tomura, not Killmonger, not Rouge, not Sonic, not Knuckles, not Blaze, not Amy, not even the agents of Trinity. Killer Frost and Dr. Gero had their eyes widen as they looked at the large monitor. Wesker stayed silent though, his eye solely on Shadow. 'Get up. Get up, my son.'
Pyro lowered the flaming pillar and came to the ground, he was about to walk over to the charred body of Izuku, but before he could grab him a wall of ice appeared before blocking him from the teen. "The hell!" Pyro screamed, the cameras caught the ice and searched for the individual. They found him when their eyes caught onto Shoto, the dual colored haired teen rushed to Izuku side.
Rei and her children had heart attacks when they saw that Shoto was in Hosu. Not just Hosu, but in that forest fire. Endeavor felt his heart skip a few beats when he saw his son, he didn't waste time unbuckling his seat belt. When he was free he jumped out of the helicopter and used his quirk to rocket boost himself to the forest. He doesn't care if he'll burn up on the way, but he will be damned if he let anything happen to his son.
Shoto looked that the burnt body of Izuku, he put two fingers to his neck to check for a pulse. Shoto released some air when he felt a pulse, but it was weak. He needed to get Izuku out of here and get him to hospital. "Izuku, hang on. I'm going to get you out of here." Shoto didn't waste time in putting Izuku on shoulder, he did hear what seemed to be words coming from the teen's mouth, but he wasn't sure with all this fire.
Shoto began to move, but heard the sounds of his ice melting. He looked to see that hole was burned into ice and Pyro walked through it with a sick smile. Shoto quickly attacked him with his fire, but it was useless as Pyro just took it. Pyro stuck out his hand and took the fire that Shoto threw at him, now making a small fireball in his hands.
"Are you idiot? My quirk allows to control fire, you got no shot against me kid." Shoto's fireside was useless against this man, but that still left his ice side. The young Todoroki fired a pillar of ice at Pyro only fire the arson to deliver his own fire at his ice. The ice didn't just melt, it evaporated leaving Shoto and Izuku defenseless
"HAHAHAHA! Ice, really. That ice was pathetic, and to think that you're related to her." Shoto became confused, he didn't know who this man was talking about, but Izuku did. He heard the agent's words and knew that Pyro was talking about Shoto's aunt, Killer Frost.
"S-Sh..oto...run." Shadow ordered him weakly, Shoto was about to take Izuku's advice. He was going to run, but Pyro created a wall of fire to prevent them from escaping.
"Nowhere to run, kid. Now, hand over Shadow before even up that face yours." Shoto glared defiantly at Pyro and the agent laughed. "Hahaha... you're really an idiot. I give you a chance to live and you chose to save a man that you don't even know. Do you think that this is some cartoon or comic book?" Pyro ignited blades that formed around his arms, he didn't get burned because his quirk and suit protected him from it.
"This is real deal! The heroes don't win in this story! Only the villains do!" Pyro brought the blades up ready to kill both teens, everyone screamed as they saw the two boys about to die. Shoto closed his eyes as he saw the blades fearing that his death had arrived, but it was not going to happen as a voice called out to him.
"SHOTO!" Pyro, Shoto and the drones looked up to see a flaming star coming down towards. Shoto widened his eyes when he saw that it was his father, the fear of death gone and replaced with a feeling that he never thought he would associate with his father. The feeling of relief and happiness.
"Endeavor," Pyro whispered, the man narrowed his eyes as the flame hero came down like a meteor. His flames blazing like an inferno, the sight of seeing his son endanger sent him into another gear.
The flame hero aimed his fist towards Pyro and generated as much heat as he possibly could, he didn't care if he burnt up. All that mattered was saving his son.
"PLUS ULTRA JET BURN!" Endeavor fired a large amount flames out his hands, it was so much that it looked like giant inferno and it was all directed at Pyro.
Shoto used this opportunity to create an ice shield around him and Izuku. It wouldn't protect them from all of the damage, but it's a whole lot better than being eviscerated.
Pyro stared at the large inferno almost like a piece of art, his eyes looked at the flames in awe. "Beautiful." The arsonist whispered as he put his hands up. When the flames made impact and a large explosion occurred with massive intense heat. Shoto ice shield did not last long as it began to melt, when the shield completely melted the damage had already been done.
Endeavor crashed to the ground next to his son, his body steaming, sweat on his brow, and he was heavily breathing. Shoto could tell that his father had over heated himself, that may have the most powerful jet burn he's ever seen in his life. Hell he didn't even know his fire could produce that much heat, it was like the sun had came down on them.
"Sh-Shoto." Shoto went over to his father with Izuku on his shoulder, he put his hand over him to cool his temperature. Endeavor felt that his body temperature was going down, he sighed. That was a good sign, meaning that he would live. But he would be without his powers for while.
"Nice shot, dad." Endeavor grumbled, his son was not getting off that easy.
"Don't you dad me, young man. You are grounded...till you die." Endeavor told him as he got up, the fires were still burning in the forest, smoke clouded the area, and the ground had scorch marks.
"Magnificent." Endeavor and Shoto widened their eyes and turned to the massive center with the most damage. Both Todoroki's looked to see Pyro with his sick smile on his face, his eyes blazing with intensity.
"That was a close one. I can see now why she's so interesting you Endeavor and I understand now where see that hellcat gets that power from." Endeavor and Shoto were both confused, they had no idea what he was talking about.
Pyro cracked his neck and bent his fingers making two large bears made from the flames. "Hand over Shadow. NOW!" Pyro roared, but Endeavor nor Shoto would flee. They were heroes and they were going to protect him. Pyro saw the defiance in their eyes and decided to smile more.
"Then you both can-" Pyro didn't finish as he was kicked in the side and went flying. The Todoroki's looked shocked as the arsonist went flying and the bears disappeared.
"We can what?" Endeavor asked aloud and Shoto decided to finish Pyro sentence.
"I think he was say going burn."
"I am going to retire after this shit." The flame users looked up to see Torino hovering above, the elder hero came down and saw Izuku. "Damn it, kid." The old hero whispered, Izuku looked terrible and he didn't seem like he was healing. They needed to get him to the hospital and out of the city.
"Enji, we need to get out of-" Torino didn't finish as flames erupted around them. All of them turned to wear Torino kicked Pyro and saw the arsonist slowly walking towards them like a monster, his teeth were grinding against each other and there was steam coming out of his nose.
Pyro was pissed and he had every right to be. Just a few moments ago he had Shadow dead to rights, but since then there has been ant after ant coming to his rescue.
"Huh, I guess Shadow's nothing without a team. I knew you were always weak, always needing the help of those brats. I thought were you're the Ultimate Weapon, Shadow. What happened? Did your balls fall off since you've been gone, mate?" The pros knew he was throwing verbal jabs at Shadow and it was uncalled for. The teen was down and now he wanted to humiliate him.
Shadow glared at Pyro with one eye opened while the other was closed, his body was healing slowly. He needed to get back into this fight, the pros have no chance against the arsonist.
"Get up!" Shadow heard a deep voice call out to him, he widened his eyes, he didn't recognize the voice. It couldn't be Izuku, he made sure that he was the only in control. So who was it?
"I said get up! Rise and fight!' The voice yelled at him, Shadow couldn't understand where the voice was coming from. He thought that it was probably one of the OFA users, but it that theory went out the window when he saw the shrouded man.
The man was right next to pyro, Shadow couldn't see his face, but he felt like he knew him. The shrouded man wore a red shroud that covered his entire body, Shadow was going to call out to him, but the mystery man beat him to it.
'Rise, rise and show him your power! Do not let this insect defeat you!' The man disappeared after that, but Shadow saw it. It was quick, but he saw it. He saw the man's eyes and saw that they were red like his.
The man was gone, but his words still ranged in Shadow head. He will rise. He will show Pyro his power. He will show him that there was a reason that he was...is the most feared agent in all of Trinity.
Shadow gritted his teeth, he made fist, and he opened his other eye. Red streaks of plasma began to appear and coursed alongside his body, his rings glowed brighter than ever before, and power surged through him. Pyro saw the gold light, Shoto turned his head to see Izuku, Endeavor and Torino watched with widened eyes as the teen's flesh was becoming restored. Shadow was healing from his injuries, his hair was returning, his flesh was coming back to its natural color, and the burns were fading.
"No. NO! You were dead. I saw you burn!" Pyro screamed at the teen as Shadow let out a scream.
"AHHH!" Shoto let go his arm and saw Izuku stand, he saw the gold aura appear and for a split second everyone saw it turn red. Pyro knew that he had to finish this, he couldn't let Shadow get his full strength.
"NO! I won't allow you. I won't allow you to ruin my art!" Pyro screamed like a maniac, he was going to end it. He was going to hit them all with all the flames in the goddamn forest. Pyro clenched his hands into fists and concentrated, the flames in the forest began to form around Pyro. Shadow saw what Pyro was doing and could only assume one thing, he had to stop it.
Shoto ice wasn't strong enough, Endeavor was useless here, and Torino wouldn't be fast enough to get them out of here. That left him and one move, a move he never tested...till now.
"You won't win Shadow! You all will...burn!" Pyro launched all his flames in forest at them including the flames from his gear, it looked like a giant wave of flames were coming towards the heroes. They thought themselves doomed, until Shadow moved.
Shadow moved at blazing speed to be in front of the heroes, Shoto didn't even see him move, he was just a blur to the teen. Shadow stood in front of the large waves and brought his hands back. Shadow's hands had the plasma streaks of OFA all over them. Torino widened his eyes in shock, he knew what Shadow had planned.
"Enji, Shoto, brace yourselves!" Torino shouted as both father and son got ready. Shadow saw the flames get closer and he started to bring his hands together for one loud clap.
"Oklahoma Thunder Clap!" Shadow clapped his hands together and just like the in the name there was a loud boom that sounded just like thunder. It was so loud that everyone in the city and probably further heard it. On the tv it sounded like a large bomb had gone off.
The clap created a large force of wind and power that blew back the flames, but it wasn't just that. Everything got blown back. Pyro, Shoto, Endeavor, Torino, trees, drones, everything. Trees became flew off their roots, drones were spinning out of control, and all the fire that Pyro had created was gone in massive clap.
Shoto through the air like a missile, there was nothing he could grab onto to because Izuku blew it all away. Torino saw him and activated his quirk to get him, he had to avoid all the trees, but he was able to get him and Endeavor. The old hero now had both father and son as he weaved and dogged around all the dust, smoke, and debris.
Screwball worked on trying to get her drones to reposition so everyone can see that action, all everyone saw was the camera spinning out of control.
Shadow himself was still in the epicenter with his hands still clapped, the teen released a large breath and fired an eagle pulse. He must find out Pyro, not worrying if his fellow comrades survived the attack. He saw Pyro in the air using his flamethrower as jets to escape, Shadow was not going to let that happen.
"No." Shadow growled as red lighting appeared and he zoomed off in a thunderous burst of speed. The teen was heading to Pyro like runaway locomotive, he was going to make Pyro rue the day he decided to come after him.
Pyro fired his flames as he flew through the sky, the arson was caught off guard by Shadow power, but he was able to recover. He needed to regroup, the arson looked to the city and smiled. 'The city, perfect.' Pyro smiled as he began to make his way to the city, the arson looked back to see red lighting and widened his eyes.
Shadow was coming for him, the agent poured more power into his flames to rocket him to the city and in order to keep away from Shadow. Shadow was dashing through the forest, following the trail of flames that Pyro was leaving behind. He could see that he was heading into the city, he boosted his speed as he was now right under him.
Pyro looked down with eyes of pure hatred and used his flame throwers to attack Shadow. Shadow saw the flames and narrowed his eyes, he used evasive actions to weave through them. Shadow jumped into the air and Pyro saw this as an opportunity to kill him, he fired his flames hoping for the same result as last time.
But Shadow was never one to make the same mistake, he saw this coming and flashed. The flames missed and Pyro winded his eyes, Shadow was gone and he had no idea where he went. "Behind you." The arson heard the whisper and felt fear run through his body as he turned his head and saw Shadow on his back.
Shadow was on his back like monkey and gave him an evil smile as he began to punch him in the face. Shadow delivered another punch that rocked the arsonist, Pyro was now flying out of control. He was zigzagging and even do loops, he was trying to fix himself, but the constant punching from the teen was making it hard. It seemed like Shadow didn't care about them falling to their doom since they were so high up in the night sky.
Shadow grabbed Pyro head and pushed it down, making his body go down with it. They were nearing the streets and Pyro could almost feel face be ripped apart by the concrete. "RRRGH!" Pyro struggled to get his head up as Shadow wanted the street to rip apart. The arson did succeed and moved his body up, but none of them saw the building coming up.
"Shadow…let…go!" Shadow did not listen or he did and just didn't care. He was aiming straight for the building, their well being be damned. The building was coming and Pyro screamed as he was not getting out of this, soon the two crashed through it leaving a massive hole.
Screwball had gotten her drones back in control and program them to find Shadow and Pyro, it wasn't hard since they left a trail of destruction...literally. Cars were on fire, windows were broken, there were holes on the ground, and everyone was tweeting about seeing two dudes flying through the air. Eventually her drones found the building with the massive hole and she sent one through it.
Everyone now had visual again, they didn't see the fight, but they did see the destruction. The building that the two combatants crashed through was an office building. There was hole after hole as the drone followed the path and soon they came to the end of the building. When the building came to an end the drone went through the last hole and made back outside where the climax of the fight had begun.
After Shadow and Pyro crashed through building they went through wall after wall as human wrecking balls. The last hole made them separate and they both crashed to the ground, they were not soft landings. Shadow had fallen off Pyro's back and crashed onto a car hood, he bounced off the hood like ball and landed on the ground. Scratches and bruises covered his body, but he was still functional.
Pyro on the other hand had lost control as well and hit his head on the telephone pole, which made him spin outta control and land hard on the ground. Pyro's gear was sparking out of control, a sign that it was clearly damaged.
Both warriors didn't get up right, their bodies in massive pain from their fight, Shadow morse so than Pyro since he's been fighting all night, basically. His quirks were doing double overtime and it was only midnight.
Shadow began to stir and groan, he turned over to his chest and began to push himself up. Pyro began to stir as well and get up, unknown that his flame gear as short circuiting, but not to Shadow. He saw the small sparks on the gear and he inwardly smirked. This could work to his advantage.
"This...end...now!" Shadow told him, this fight had dragged out long enough. It will come to an end and he will get his answers.
Pyro still somehow smiled even with all the pain he was feeling, for once he agreed with Shadow. "I'm with you, mate." Pyro now stood up at his full height and clenched his hands together to make his fist.
Flames began to appear and take the shapes of blades. Shadow bent his knees getting ready to move, he will not be defeated here. But unknown to the two former agents and everyone else, there was someone watching them.
Shadow dashed to Pyro red lighting surrounding his body, as he got closer Pyro got closer he swung his blade. Shadow ducked underneath it, feeling the heat on his nose, mouth, and eyes. He kept running and the arson turned around firing wave of his flames. The gear was sparking some more by the overuse of Pyro.
Shadow began to run in a circle and the flames followed him creating a ring of fire around both of them. Pyro got tired of all the running and decided to take the ground away from him.
"Inferno!" Pyro screamed as he aimed his weapons at the downward and fired them at ground. The flames covered the entire ground trying to prevent Shadow from moving, to take away his ground. Shadow widened his eyes and ran over to Pyro, the flames coming towards him. The teen jumped over them, but that didn't mean that he was safe, the flames now covered the ground. He landed on the flaming ground and he felt the heat on the bottom of the feet. His sneakers were not going to last long, but he also felt slower.
Shadow saw the sparks increase in Pyro's back, it was time now. "Pyro, you dumb ass." Shadow called to him. "I win." The arson looked confused until he looked back at his gear and saw his gear going haywire.
"No," Pyro whispered and Shadow heard him.
"Yes." Shadow told him evilly as Pyro's gear exploded and sent the agent flying forward, the flaming ground was gone and now Shadow was able to move. Shadow went straight for Pyro and began to lay waste. He first punched him in the stomach with the power of OFA, he then kneed him in the chin which sent him flying into the air.
The teen was not done as jumped up into the air and uppercutted Pyro even further into the air. Shadow flashed to his leg and grabbed it, he then threw Pyro back down to the ground while he was still in the air.
"Now to finish this!" Shadow began to spin sideways at a very high rate, now looking a green tornado. The teen began to come down aiming for Pyro abdomen. "Take this, Shadow Barrage!" Shadow brought his ankle down on Pyro's stomach and the impact of the kick made the ground below Pyro crack.
"UGK!" Pyro spit up large amount of blood when Shadow brought his angle down on him. Shadow was not done for he went a step further, he was going to make sure that Pyro was not going to cause damage again. Shadow looked at his hands and created a spear. There was no hesitation, no pause, no empathy, nothing as Shadow proceeded to cut off the hands of Pyro. He took the thing that every artist value away from him.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Pyro screamed as both his hands were removed, blood pouring from them and even spewing into the air. Everyone watching widened their eyes in horror as the teen brutality severed the hands of the arsonist.
After removing the hands Shadow looked at the pained face of Pyro and grabbed his throat. "Where is he?" Shadow growled at the arson, he was tired of the games, the flames, he wanted answers and he wanted them now.
"Sh-Shadow...I...I reall-ack!" Shadow put more pressure on his throat.
"Last chance before I snap your worthless neck. WHERE! IS! BULLS-"
*Bang*
A loud gunshot came and Pyro eyes became saucers as he saw Shadow get shot in the head. The red blood running down from the protruding hole on side of teen's head. The teen's body stopped moving, his mouth was open, his eyes had the look of pure shock, and within seconds those scarlet red eyes lost their life. Shadow had fallen to the side, his body unmoving and unresponsive.
Midnight collapsed to the ground when she saw her son get shot, she couldn't believe it. Her baby boy was gone. Her Izuku was dead. Tears began to fall down the mothers eyes as she kept replaying the sight of her son getting shot.
"*sob* Izu…*sob*...ku…*sob*" Midnight cried as she made fist, her son was robbed from her and there was nothing that she could do. Yui kneeled down and supported her, but the tears escaped her eyes as well. Both women mourning the loss of their family and precious boy.
Sonic fell off the couch, he and the others couldn't believe, but they were seeing it. Shadow was dead. The sentence alone sounded impossible. Their brother had survived everything, he had gotten up from everything, nothing could kill him.
He was un-killable, but yet there he was on the ground...dead. Sonic turned to see that Rouge had tears in her eyes as she fell to her knees and Omega stoic face was replaced with one of shock. It was the first time that Sonic had ever seen his face like that.
The bar was deathly silent, no made a noise, no one ordered a drink, no one cheered, everyone was just quiet. The League and AFO thought they were being deceived, but the boy laid dead.
The agents were of Trinity were no better, their faces all looked the same. The shock was literally written all over their faces. Wesker was the only one that was not shocked, his mouth was closed, and his eyes narrowed behind his black shades even though no one could see it.
All Might had to lean on the wall for support, his student was dead. He had failed as a teacher and as a hero. He should've been there, he could stop all of this, but he let his damn limit control him...and now thanks to that limit his successor was dead. His friend was dead.
The rest of the teachers were in shock just as All Might. Mic, took off his shades, Recovery Girl dropped her cane, Aizawa bowed his head, much like all the others.
Ochako dropped her cell phone, as he watched the tv with Izuku dead body on it. The poor girl began to cry as she just lost her best friend...and her crush. She was not the only as all other members of 1-A began to cry at the loss of Izuku.
Black Mask was like everyone else as he had a shocked look. The man even stood from his desk as he looked at his large television. As grateful as he was, he had one question and it was the same question on everyone's mind. Who did it? They didn't have to wait long as the answer came.
"No," Pyro whispered in fear as he turned his head to the direction the bullet came, the drone followed his eyes and caught sight of a man walking through the ring of fire like it was nothing.
Pyro saw the man walk through the flames and he instantly recognized him. The man was none other than Bullseye.
"Bullseye." Pyro whispered, but it was loud enough for the drone to catch and for everyone watching heard him. Midnight raised her teary face to look at the man that killed her son.
'It's him. He's the one, he's the one that did it.' Nermuri thought as she looked at the most dangerous agent in Trinity. The man that kidnapped Izuku and the one that killed Inko.
Bullseye walked over to the down agents and stared at Shadow the whole way. He stopped when he got in front of Pyro, but his eyes never left the teen though. "Bullseye…l-list-" Bullseye didn't let Pyro finish as he unloaded all the bullets in his gun into the him. There were headshots, body shots, he was shot in the eye, the mouth, the chest, the heart, the head, everywhere. Bullseye was shooting him without remorse and anyone could see that this was beyond overkill, but the agent didn't care.
Bullseye didn't even look up at him as he killed him, his eyes were solely on Shadow. When he pulled the trigger again and nothing came out he knew that he was empty. Bullseye sighed and put his gun away behind his black trench coat, the man straightened his hat and spoke for the first time.
"Bullseye." Bullseye told Shadow as he left the teen, the ring had stopped and cleared the agent's way. Bullseye walked over to a black chopper motorcycle with red flames design on it and revved it up. He soon took off leaving the dead bodies and the world in absolute stunned silence.
"Arrgh! Release me this instant!" Shadow roared at the man in front of him, the man looked just like him, but only with green hair. Shadow glared at the man, he knew who this was and he thought he removed him. Shadow was staring at Izuku.
"No, you've been in control for too long. You've gone too far." Izuku told him as chains began to wrap around Shadow's body, the weapon was tied to a wooden chair as he glared a hole at his look like.
"To far? I didn't go far enough. You don't go far enough." Shadow told him, calling Izuku out on weakness. The teen just stared at his other, the one that has been in control of his body.
"I won't kill anyone but Wesker and Bullseye." Izuku told determinedly making Shadow laugh mockingly. The other looking at him with a knowing smile as Izuku just glared at him with his emerald eyes.
"Oh, please Izuku. I know you and I know you don't want to just kill them. You want to kill them all, all the scum that roam the earth. Trinity just has the two you want the dead the most. You need me, you called on me to save you from Sabertooth. I am what makes you strong. I am your power."
"Your my power? Then prey tell what am I?" Izuku asked, but he already knew the answer.
"You are the vessel, the body, but most importantly you are the weakness that I don't need. Attachments, friendships, love, all of it useless and unnecessary. All they will do is hold us back in the coming battle. So do me and yourself a favor and cut them off. We don't need them and we don't need her." Izuku just stared at his other self, taking in what he just said. The teen didn't say anything for a while, instead he just smiled.
Shadow was confused by the smile, he didn't say anything as Izuku spoke. "Heh, you want to know something funny." Shadow didn't answer and let Izuku to continue speaking. "You're right. You do know me, probably better than anyone. But I know you as well." Shadow eyes became widened for a moment and then he narrowed them at the teen.
"I know that you want to kill all those that prey on innocent, I know that you want to protect our mother more than anything, but most importantly I know that last sentence you just said was a complete lie." Shadow still didn't say anything as his red eyes glared at Izuku, the teen knew he was hitting home with his words.
"I know how you feel about her and you know about my feelings. So saying that we don't need her is complete utter bullshit." Izuku walked so he could look Shadow in his eyes, they were face to face. Green met red and both stared each other down. "I know that you will do anything for her and so will I." Shadow still didn't say anything all he did was stare at Izuku as the teen turned around to leave.
"Fool. I was trying to protect her." Shadow whispered, but Izuku didn't hear him. The teen just walked through a door that led into darkness. Izuku stepped through the door and was immediately hit with flashes of images of his past.
That came at him so fast that he didn't have time to memorize them all. Images of his Family, images of Wesker, image of Bullseye, image of burning town, and the final image of Maria in a large flower garden.
Shadow was still was still unmoving as the drone circled him, trying to get all the angles of the body. Pyro's body was a mess, the man's body was filled with holes. It was gory mess that not even Screwball wanted her viewers to see.
As the drone's camera was on Izuku, it caught something that made people think that they were crazy. "Uh, guys. You might take a look at this." Sonic said as the Family eyes went back to the television. They and everyone else saw something that didn't seem possible, what they saw was Shadow's body twitching.
"There's no way." The shocked tone in Tomura voice was easy to hear as everyone was stunned, they were just stunned. Shadow body kept twitching and soon his eyes returned to their green color, and he got up. The teen that took a bullet to the head had sat up like the damn Undertaker.
As Shadow was getting up Torino and the Todoroki had shown had shown up and saw carnage. Shoto held his mouth when he saw the body of Pyro, the boy never seen a dead body before. This was his first and it was a very, very, ugly site.
"Izu...oh god." Endeavor tried the call the teen's name, but stopped when he saw the bullet hole. The teen didn't say anything, his eyes just scanned everything like he was lost trying to recall what happened.
Shadow rose to his feet, he swayed and quickly fell to his knee. His hand on the ground as he tried to regain himself, he was shaking. The teen blinked trying to clear his blurred vision, the images he saw were still present in his mind. Shadow felt something on the left side of his head and picked at it like scab wound. The teen felt something inside his temple and began to feel it move, soon the bullet that entered his skull was coming out.
The camera zoomed in on the hole as the shine of the bullet could be seen, and within seconds the bullet came out. Before it even hit the ground Shadow caught the bullet and moved his eyes to the copper shell. Shadow eyed it with a confused look, but soon the heroes there and everyone else saw it. The look realization came upon Shadow's face and it went from a confused look to one of pure and unadulterated hatred.
"Bullseye!" Shadow growled and before Torino could stop him the teen blow off in a burst of speed. The teen ran faster than he ever has and even in Torino hay day he couldn't hope to keep up with him. Shadow fired off eagle pulse after pulse as he was running to track the agent.
Shadow speed was powerful and violent, he was flipping cars, creating winds, and leaving a trail in the ground. He did not stop and he wouldn't stop, not now. Not after years of waiting for him and now, now, now he has come. Now he will take his revenge. Now he will kill Bullseye.
Shadow eventually ran up the side of a building and landed on the roof where he saw him. There on that roof he saw Bullseye. The agent was just sitting on what he seems to be a large white container, eating a bag of chips, and confidently looking at him with a smile on his face.
Bullseye finished what little of the chips had and burped. "Hey kid, it's been a while." Bullseye said slyly, but the Shadow was not in the mood for games. Shadow didn't give him any threats, no heroic speeches, no promises of pain. No, there was none of that. All the teen did was dash towards him at full speed.
The power of both OFA and chaos coursed through his right arm. His going to use his full power, the consequences be damned. He doesn't care anymore. All he wants his this man dead.
"DIE!" Taking a page out Katsuki book Shadow screamed at him as he cocked his fist back ready to take Bullseye head off. Bullseye saw him get closer and didn't even flinch, he just looked at him with a smile. Shadow threw the punch forward and no one could predict what happened next.
