Chapter 34
Delivering a powerful speech about heroism would motivate anyone right? Well said person probably never had to fight someone who could kill you just by getting their hands on you. Izuku had to be very careful with Shigaraki's decay quirk. He surmised the villain hadn't used it on him earlier cause he wanted him to live longer so he could suffer more, the dead don't suffer as the saying goes, but Izuku had an inkling that wasn't the case anymore.
"AHHHH!" Izuku screamed using black whip to grab Shigarakis arms and slam him into the ground. Normally Izuku would have followed up with a punch or kick but knew if Shigaraki got his hands on him, he'd be done for. "Dammit! How can I beat him when I can't even get close?" He thought. Before this wouldn't have been an issue with Izukus speed but Shigaraki too had increased his own speed as well. It was well into the night so Solar Sabre was useless as well. So far Izuku could see he had many strength and speed quirks, he hadn't even used any of his other deadly arsenal yet. This was bad, he at least knew what All For One was packing by watching his fight with All Might, for all Izuku knew Shigaraki could have a quirk that would nuke the entire city.
"Why is he so strong? He only had a ten day gap at the most to gather all this strength!" He thought as he dodged Tomuras fist. "All For One took centuries to master his powers, yet Shigaraki is here after only ten days going blow for blow with me. He killed all those pros like they were ants!" Izuku felt grief build up remembering the dead bodies of his comrades.
"As I expected! He's having trouble keeping up!" Shigaraki thought. Unbeknownst to Izuku, Kurogiri had used his quirk to teleport Shigaraki instantly across the globe to where he could get the strongest quirks he could find. Izuku gagged as Shigaraki kneeled him in the stomach sending him flying away at high speeds. He hit the ground creating a large crater as he tried to get up
"Damn it!" Izuku yelled. At this rate he was going to fail and who knows how many more people would die? Even at 100% he couldn't even land a good hit! There was no going back here however, there was no one left this time literally, all the world's mightiest were dead or out of the fight.
"Is this how you felt All Might?" Izuku asked remembering how hard his predecessor had to fight against All For One. Shigaraki landed a few yards away from him.
"What's the matter, hero? Having trouble?" Shigaraki asked sarcastically as he moved into attack. Izuku barely had time to move as he saw his chance, Shigarakis hands were facing away from him, Izuku took this chance and delivered a kick which instantly sent Tomura flying into a nearby building. Izuku didn't have time to celebrate as Shigaraki reappeared as quickly as he disappeared.
"Teleportation huh?" Izuku thought. That explains why he seemed to move faster than his reactions could pick up. Shigaraki went to grab Izukus head but he dodged out of the way and used Blackwhip again to grab him and continuously slam him into the ground. Tomura was getting angry and decided to use some more of his new powers. He lowered his density so he could fly up over Izuku. He then increased it tremendously as he smashed into the Izuku with the weight of a mountain. The city rumbled from the impact.
"AHHHH!" Izuku screamed. That hurt extremely badly! Tomura then grabbed Izuku by the head as Izuku went into panic mode knowing what this meant.
"What's got you so nervous? Oh my decay quirk right? Don't worry, I don't plan on offing you just quite yet!" Tomura said smashing Izuku's face into the ground. "You killed my master, I'm only doing what any good apprentice would do. Remember you did the same thing after my master killed your oafish mentor!"
"You're master, was evil!" Izuku yelled using his legs to kick off the ground. Shigarakis grip came loose from the sudden power and fell off. "Ah the body of a man, but still just the mind of a scared, pathetic little boy." Tomura taunted. "You'll grow into quite a handsome man, too bad you'll never grow up!"
"Blackwhip won't be enough! I need to be able to put my hands on him! He says he won't use decay yet but who knows when he'll decide to?" Izuku pondered.
"Deku!" Izukus heart stopped.
"No no no!" He yelled as looked down to see his class. "Why did they come here? They'll get killed!" He then looked around and saw the area was familiar, he was at UA. "We were miles away! What kind of power did that hit have?"
"Oh look your friends are all here to cheer you on!" Shigaraki said laughing giddily, this was too easy and almost wasn't any fun. Izuku grunted knowing Shigaraki had something really nasty planned if he was laughing like that. Shigaraki raised his hand to the sky and created a large forcefield dome. It wouldn't come down unless Shigaraki commanded it and there was no one strong enough to break through still alive except for Izuku.
"A dome?" Izuku said out loud.
"A nice quirk I took from a top hero in Mexico, this dome will stay up until I command it to go down. Of course with your strength you easily break through it, but I wouldn't try that if I were you." Shigaraki explained.
"What do you mean?" Izuku asked.
"It's simple, if you try to break this down." Shigaraki said as a powerful light orb generated on his palm. "I'll blow everyone down there to hell." Izuku's eyes widened at the orb, he could feel its destructive power from where he was standing. Shigaraki took note of Izukus intrigue. "You like it? It's yours, well, it was yours."
"What?" Izuku asked confused.
"You really think you were born quirkless? It's so rare these days, sure it is possible but I assure you, you did have a quirk and powerful one at that." Shigaraki said.
"No, that's not true!" Izuku cried. Of course he had been quirkless, he had years of physical and emotional wounds to show for it.
"Since you'll die today I'll tell you." Shigaraki said. "You were my masters relative, a far distant nephew. He kept tabs on all his descendants including you, they were a good source for good quirks he could take, and it turned out you had a really powerful one. So he took it from you."
"And why would I believe that?" Izuku asked. "Why should I believe you?"
"Remember your doctor? The one who told you that you were quirkless? He was Masters doctor, when he saw what kind of quirk you had, my master simply came in at night and took it in your sleep!" Shigaraki explained. "Don't believe me? That's fine, but I assure you it's true."
"No! That's not- could it?" Izuku asked himself. Had all those years of bullying been because someone robbed him of something so precious? Had all that depression and pain been avoidable? Down below, Class 1A sat in shock.
"He's related to that monster?" Yaoyorozu thought.
"He did have a quirk? And it got stolen? Damn it I'm such a piece of shit!" Bakugo thought feeling guilt grow in him.
"I can see you're conflicted, I'd be too. Just think all those years of pain and abuse you could have been the most popular kid at school with this quirk. How much pain could you have avoided? I bet it makes you soooo angry-"
"That won't work!" Izuku yelled. He knew what Tomura was doing, he was trying to get him angry again. "Even if what you are saying is true, it still worked out for me in the end, I got a quirk, I got into U.A, and I made the best friends!"
"Well how about I show you this quirk. It's called Chi Orb, with it, you can use your body's energy to create powerful energy orbs. Some even strong enough to destroy a city! So if you try to break this dome so they can escape, I'll kill all of you in one blow."
"Threatening me with my own quirk huh?" Izuku asked. "Ironic."
"Indeed." Tomura said relinquishing the orb. "Now, I have one more surprise for you, do you remember a certain quirk that caused you a great amount of suffering?"
"You'll have to narrow it down, I can think of close to twenty at the moment." Izuku responded with sarcasm.
"I never took you for a sarcastic one, guess all this trouble changed you a little huh?" Shigaraki said. There was truth to it, Izuku had developed a sarcastic sense of humor to help cope with the trauma he had endured. "I'll give you a little
Hint, remember when your little friends down there tried to kill you?"
"WHAT?" Izuku gasped. No, he was bluffing, then again, it was a big world, there were bound to thousands of similar quirks out there. He looked down to his class who all had fear in their eyes.
"I know about that mental quirk of yours, so this won't work on you, then again, your friends down there don't have the luxury of being multiquirked like you and me," Shigaraki said.
"Just leave them out of this!" Izuku yelled. "You want me dead!"
"That I do, but death is too quick, you must suffer more before you receive that mercy!" Shigarak laughed. "I'll make you pay for taking my master from me!" His voice shifted to one of intense anger and hate. "My master was my father! He took me in and raised me! AND YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME!" Shigaraki yelled as he activated his control quirk. Izuku could only look in fear as the nightmare had returned….
This is gonna be a good long battle, to answer some questions you may have.
Yeah I know it seems like an unnecessary plot twist with Izuku having his quirk stolen at childhood but trust me it'll play a huge role at the end.
As for why Izuku seems so focused and calm despite Jaeger and the others being killed. He has matured a bunch and knows he has to keep his emotions under control or he'll make a fatal mistake. Same for Shigaraki who is normally childish and immature, All For One was the master at manipulation so it's not a far shot to say he taught Tomura how to mentally fuck with someone.
As for why Shigaraki is downing so many powerful characters, All For One wanted them alive so he could use them, he could have killed them all easily, (remember when he one shot Best Jeanist?) Shigaraki has no use for them so he simply kills them.
Also just to break some hearts, i was gonna have Jaeger and Mt. Lady fall in love but then i was like, nah, this is supposed to be a sad story.
R&R!
