Chapter 166
Wada, Kenichi, Mikami, Mr Manzo, and the two large guardsmen looked back with horror and confusion as the leader of the Revengers, Sam Washington AKA: Uncle Patriot, had just landed near their base of operation while emitting strange white glow from his whole body.
Zibran slowly turns around and faces Sam with a intimidating stare while Uncle Patriot was staring back at him with glowing white eyes.
"How the hell did this dude get all the way out here!!!" Kenichi thought to himself while getting a little scared about the situation. "Did he... jump across at least hundred miles to get here!?!? WHO THE HELL IS THIS FREAK!?!?!?"
Zibran continues to look at Sam until he let out a sigh, He then looks over at Mikami.
"Mikami... you take the traitor to the dungeon and stay inside" said Zibran as he then looks over at the two large guardsmen. "And you two... kill this freak"
The two guards looked at each other and then proceed to rush towards Sam. Just then, Sam's first starts glowing brighter then the rest of his body.
"Father and son..." said Sam as the guards got closer for an attack.
Suddenly without warning, Sam launches himself towards them with incredible speed and punches both guardsmen against their helmets. As both of his hands collided with the two guardsmen, Sam slams their heads into the ground as it caused two star shaped craters underneath their skulls.
"DOUBLE BUSH STAR PUNCH!!!!" Shouted Sam as the impact causes their skulls to break into pieces, killing them instantly.
Kenichi, Wada, Mikami, and Mr Manzo watched in horror as they couldn't believe how fast that ended. Zibran continues to look at Sam as he was irritated that two of his large guards were killed so easily while Sam slowly gets up and looks back at him.
"What do you want..." said Zibran. "I don't have time to deal with you right now..."
Sam takes a deep breath. Suddenly he lunges forward so fast at Zibran that it looked like he teleported out of thin air.
"YOUR HEAD!!!" Shouted Sam as he punches Zibran in the face in a split second. "CLINTON STAR PUNCH!!!"
In a split second, Zibran was sent flying across area and crashed into the metal castle, causing a few cracks along the surface of the castle where Zibran had crashed against the wall. Everyone looks back in shock as they couldn't believe what they just saw.
"What the hell just happened!?!?!" Kenichi thought to himself. "I didn't even blink and yet... he punched Zibran so hard that it sent him flying like it was nothing!!!"
"Incredible..."said Mr Manzo quietly.
After a moment, Zibran quickly looks up and removes himself from the wall of the castle as if nothing happened.
"I see..." said Zibran as he then makes a smirk. "So the captains must've done their job of killing those brats and everyone else inside the shelter"
With a fit of rage, Sam lunges forward again and begins to pull back his arms for another attack.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT..." Shouted Sam as he begins to rapidly punching Zibran over and over for what seems like hundreds of punches every second. "BARRAGE!!!!"
He continues punching and punching, causing the Ziburnum metal wall behind Zibran to cave in around him as it caused a crater along the Ziburnum metal wall. Suddenly Zibran stops the attack as he grabs both of Sam's hands as they were in a hand lock.
"Ok... that's enough" said Zibran as he body begins to glow. "Se-kai!"
Zibran unleashes a giant red shock wave as it pushes Sam back a couple feet, the shock wave causes Wada and Mikami to feel extremely sick from the attack while Mikami begins to vomit. Sam slowly stands up as he was unaffected by Zibran's Sekai thanks to his most powerful Star mode.
"Impressive..." Zibran thought to himself. "He's definitely more powerful then last time to withstand my sekai... and judging by the intense energy he's producing, I say he has a lot more in store when it comes to power... this could be a problem, I need to kill him quickly"
"Mr Washington..." said Zibran. "I've changed my mind, I'll play your little game... however once I'm done with you, my invasion will begin... in fact, I'm gonna start by taking over your precious country once I've killed you"
"Your not going anywhere..." said Sam as his voice was more intense with anger. "Because I'm going to rip your metal body apart, even if I have to destroy part of this land to do it"
"I see... very well then" said Zibran as he turns and points to the wasteland further out in distance from the castle. "Let's go over there, I don't want to damage my castle any further while fighting you"
"Ground zero..." said Sam. "the perfect place to kill you, since you already destroyed Tokyo, it's only fitting that the wasteland you created will be your grave"
Zibran's eyes tarted back at Sam.
"Don't get cocky you American rat" said Zibran with angry tone in his voice. "Don't forget that I've killed All Might while you watched from the sidelines so don't get ahead of yourself. Not only that, but I've also gotten stronger since then"
"So have I..." said Sam.
"I've noticed..." said Zibran as he then turns around. "Let's get going then..."
Zibran suddenly jumps in the air as he flies over to the location of their fight. Sam turns back and looks at Wada.
"Once I've killed your boss, your ass is going to federal prison" said Sam.
"You won't survive..." said Wada with confidence in his voice.
Sam give Wada a death stare for a second and looks away. He then makes another large jump as he follows the direction where Zibran is headed.
After flying to the remote location and landing safely to the ground, Sam lands behind a couple of feet away from Zibran with another hard landing. Causing the ground to crumble and crack into pieces from where he stood.
"Now then... before we get started" said Zibran as he turns around to face Sam. "I want to ask you a question"
"What the hell does this have to do with anything Zibran!" Shouted Sam as he was getting a little impatient.
Zibran looks at Sam with a death stare as his body was giving off a deadly aura.
"Everything..." said Zibran.
Sam didn't say anything for a moment until he broke the silence.
"Fine... tell me what your question is" said Sam as Zibran's body stopped making the deadly aura. "And then I'll destroy you"
"It's a simple question actually, so I want you to answer very honestly you hear" said Zibran as he closed his eyes.
"Then get to the damn point!" said Sam as he was getting more impatient.
Zibran opens his eyes as his dark red eyes stared back at him.
"What defines... a hero" said Zibran.
The wind blows across the grey wasteland as Sam and Zibran continues to stare at each other.
"What?" said Sam.
"I'm asking you..." said Zibran. "What defines a hero in your eyes, I want your honest opinion"
"What the hell is he trying to pull..." Sam thought to himself.
"Since your currently the world's strongest hero by judging the amount of energy you producing" said Zibran. "It's only fitting that your opinion on what defines a hero is the most important at this moment"
"And what about the boy..." said Sam. "The one who currently has One For All"
"He isn't here..." said Zibran. "However I don't think he stands a chance against me. Even if he has been seriously training for almost 3 months, he's no match against someone like me. To be honest, I still don't see you as a huge treat but you could become a problem... however I'm getting off track, answer the question right now before I decide to disintegrate you from where you stand"
Sam slowly takes a deep breath.
"In my eyes. a hero is someone who protects the innocent" said Sam. "In our society, a pro's duty is to protect the lives of the innocent... no matter the cost"
"What about humanity..." said Zibran.
"Humanity?" said Sam. "What dose this have to do with..."
"Answer the damn question" said Zibran as he interrupt Sam. "What about humanity?"
Sam was giving off an angry stare.
"You say that a pro's duty is to protect the innocence no matter the cost" said Zibran. "So let's say, by some unknown force, one being's existence threatens all life on this planet..."
Zibran closes his eyes again for a moment.
"And if the only way to save the planet, is to kill that being. So tell me..." said Zibran as he opens his eyes and looks at Sam. "If that person kills the being, will that make them a hero... or a murder?"
"Theoretically If you ask me..." said Sam. "That would make that person..."
Sam was quite again until...
"A hero..."
Zibran continues to stare at Sam.
"If a person ends up saving the entire planet from killing an unknown danger that was someone else..." said Sam. "Then that person would be labeled a hero in our society, despite the fact he killed someone. Not only that, but some people, excluding me... will call that person a savior"
The winds blows the wasteland again after Sam give Zibran his answer.
"You are satisfied now villain" said Sam. "Now can we get this over with and end this stupid purge war"
Zibran was quite as he looks down while shadows covered his eyes. Suddenly he begins to smirk while chuckling slowly... His chuckle slowly begins to pick up speed as he begins to laugh sinisterly while Sam watched with a blank expression on his face. He continues laughing for what seems like an eternity until...
"WHAT'S SO DAMN FUNNY!!!" Shouted Sam.
He stops...
"I don't understand..." said Zibran as he continues to look down. "For a moment there, I heard you say that I was a villain..."
"You ARE a villain..." said Sam. "Someone who kills the innocent and wants to purge 80% of the earth's population for having quirks is the worst of the worst of villains. You may not see yourself as that, but your are worst then a villain! No questions ask!!!"
"But that doesn't make sense..." said Zibran. "A moment ago, you said that I was..."
Zibran slowly looks up at Sam with a very creepy face.
"A savior..." said Zibran.
Sam eyes suddenly widened with the realization of what Zibran just said... he continues to stare back at Zibran while the whole world around him seemed like it was spinning and going out of control in Sam's mind.
"What are you saying..." said Sam.
"Recently..." said Zibran. "I've witnessed something so horrible... so terrifying... that it made me rethink my strategy. I meet someone with a quirk... a quirk that had the ability to wipe out this entire planet... That quirk belonged to a child"
Sam's eyes suddenly widen with fear as he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I've watched as that... thing... erased my comrades before my very eyes" said Zibran as he begins shaking a little. "Everything around that thing was whipped out completely by that quirk. Ground, metal, Human flesh it didn't matter, It erased everything like it was nothing. I was the only one that managed to withstand that thing's horrible power thanks to my ability, if I hadn't been there to kill it... that thing would've destroyed this planet... and everything on it"
"No... your lying" said Sam.
"What was it you just said moments ago?" said Zibran. "About how if a person ends up saving the entire planet from killing an unknown danger... then that person would be labeled a hero in your society, despite the fact he killed someone... in my case, a child..."
Sam was shaking a bit as Zibran continued.
"Not only that, but some people, excluding yourself, will call someone like me... a savior" said Zibran.
He then gives off a bigger grin on his face.
"That is what you said wasn't it" said Zibran as he knew he played Sam into admitting that hero was a hero.
"YOU BASTARD!" Shouted Sam in anger.
"Now now, don't get so angry" said Zibran as he was now giving off a creepy grin. "You should be thanking me, after all I did saved the earth"
"YOU DON'T HAVE PROOF!!!" Shouted Sam as he was about to lose it.
"Really?" said Zibran and he reaches into his body and pulls something out. "Then how do you..."
Zibran pulls out an item (the real identity of the atom will be revealed later) and shows it to Sam.
"Explain this?" said Zibran while holding an item.
Sam stoped as he was now traumatized from the item he was hold as he knew what it was.
"No... you didn't" said Sam.
"But I did..." said Zibran. "And I would do it again after realizing now how dangerous you freaks can become. Which is why, I'm going to purge every single freak to protect this planet once I'm done with you. because after all Mr Washington..."
Zibran puts away the item and looks back with a smile more sinister and larger then before.
"That is what a savior of the world dose..." said Zibran.
Sam was now extremely pissed off as he suddenly launches himself towards Zibran with incredible speed.
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL YOURSELF A SAVIOR!!!" Shouted Sam.
Sam punches Zibran in the face again as it sends him flying across the wasteland until he crashes into a large pile of rubble that used to be a large building before Zibran destroyed Tokyo 3 months back.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR GAMES ZIBRAN!" Shouted Sam. "THIS ENDS RIGHT NOW!!!"
After the dust settles for a bit, Zibran slowly tries to get up from the rubble.
"Hero, villain, it doesn't matter to me..." said Zibran as he slowly gets up. "However, I find it very hypocritical for you to not acknowledging me as a savior after everything you just said. But that's ok after all, because this age of quirks will soon be over..."
Zibran looks forward as he produces a huge amount of dark red energy from his body.
"Because I am here..." Shouted Zibran.
Sam looks back as he gets ready for battle.
"Now, let's begin" Zibran.
