I'm back again, I find I have a nasty habit of focusing on one story for two long, spent some time working on my Attack On Titan fanfic but now I'm back to this. If you liked this story then you'll like that one, check it out.
Also, stay safe from the Rona y'all, this bastard virus is a real bitch. I know you've heard this to death but practice social distancing! The elderly and immunocompromised/pre existing conditions are at great risk of death from this! Do your part and hold out till this shit blows over. And don't hoard supplies from those who truly need it, that's some real douchey All For One level of shit right there.
Shout out to all my readers who are healthcare workers, truck drivers, emergency services, grocery/gas station workers, and other essential personnel during this shitty time. We'd be screwed without you! You da real fucking MVPs and this chapter is dedicated for you. Covid 19 ain't got shit on y'all heroes!
Chapter 34? I think…. I lost track lol.
Izuku steeled himself, he allowed coldness to overwhelm him, he couldn't allow his emotions to get in the way. But this time, Lady Liberty wouldn't be here to help. If he hurt any of them bad, they would die. Izuku's mind was at war, could he endure this again? He had become so numb, there were stories of soldiers leaving for war so full of emotion and humanity and returning from war an empty husk. He feared that was what happened to him. He had sacrificed his most precious belonging, his humanity. Izuku sighed as he prepared for the onslaught of his classmates. The attack never came…
"What?" Shigarak asked himself. Izuku looked down to see his class all unconscious on the ground. This was confusing, he knew he hadn't attacked them and Shigaraki wouldn't have done it either. It was only when he saw Kacchan, holding his own hand to his head and giving Izuku a thumbs up. An explosion ensued knocking Kacchan to the ground. Izuku smiled at this. Bakugo has used his quirk to render them all unconscious so Shigaraki couldn't use them.
"You brat!" Shigaraki screamed in rage! He was fuming! His plan falling apart! No matter, he still held them hostage in this dome, and that meant Midoriya was his for the taking.
"Excuse me?" Shigarak looked up to see a fist coming towards him. Tomura had no time to react as he was sent flying to the ground. The impact made a large crater. Shigaraki cusped his cheek in rage, it would have broken if any more power was behind that blow. This was not good, if he had power like that….. Shigarak got up and snarled. Izuku continued to attack, creating a dust storm within the dome from kicking up so much dirt . It soon became opaque from the outside view. Despite the low visibility, Izuku could pinpoint where Shigarak was using heartbeat. Tomura did not possess such a quirk, as a result he was on the defensive. The dust cloud and Izuku's speed made it difficult for him to counter and was getting beat back repeatedly. Flurries of punches and kicks slammed Tomura to the ground.
"Dammit! He's got me pinned! I trapped myself with him in this dome! Why did I-?" Shigaraki thought as he remembered exactly why he did it. He still had an ace up his sleeve he had totally forgotten about due to the fight. He quickly got to his feet and aimed his hand at the unconscious Class 1A.
"If you even think about that again! I'll annihilate your friends over there! I may not be able to control them but I can still kill them!" He yelled. This caught Izuku's attention. While he was grateful Bakugo had knocked them all out, it presented a problem now that they were Tomuras hostages. Izuku grunted as he descended to the ground. Tomura chuckled as he followed suit.
"Now, be a good hero and don't move, or I'll kill them all…" Tomura ordered. Izuku was so conflicted, if he fought back, Shigaraki would kill his friends. On the other hand, if he simply let Tomura kill/cripple him, how many millions would suffer if no one could stand up to him? Izuku felt blow after blow hit him, each one crushing and devastating. How was he supposed to make a decision here? What sick kind of game was this where he had to weigh the value of people's lives and decide who's value was nothing?
"What a good hero!" Tomura taunted with a kick that would have killed anyone who wasn't a One For All user. Izuku skiddd across the field, clutching his ribs in agony. Tomura onslaught ensued as blow after blow was delivered, Izuku powerless to do a thing. The pain was incredible; numerous bone fractures came at the price of his beating. Tomura laughed sadistically, he would avenge his master's death. Izuku knew he was in trouble as he screamed, he looked at his classmates and noticed one was missing. He also felt Shigarakis onslaught cease. He only counted 18 bodies which meant someone was still awake,
And under control.
Izuku figured out who it was when a large hand grabbed him very tightly. He gasped as the tight grip crushed his stressed bones.
"Good, crush him, bone by bone!" Shigaraki commanded.
"No!" Izuku looked and saw Uraraka yelling in protest. This confused him as her body was obliging to Tomura orders.
"What?" Izuku asked.
"Guess I should explain, this quirk isn't mind control per say, it gives the user, me, to control their bodies. Their minds stay free but I control them like a puppet!"
"Deku! I c-can't stop it!" Uraraka wailed as she continued to crush Izuku. Izuku could break out easily with his power at the expense of Uraraka arms. He could potentially blow her arms completely off, he was stuck! Uraraka tried with all her might to resist this quirk but her muscles were completely ignoring her. "Kill me!"
"What?" Izuku yelled horrified.
"If you don't!" She said tearfully. "Hell make me kill you! And then no one will be able to stop him! It's the only way!"
"NO!" He fervently protested. Too many had already died, he'd be damned if he would let someone else be claimed by Shigarakis madness.
"I don't think so! If you fight back I'll make her kill herself! Then I'll blast your bratty friends straight to hell! More! MORE!" Tomura laughed as Urarakas arms crushed even harder. Izuku let out a cry as a sharp pain rode up his left side. Uraraka shut her eyes, she couldn't bear to watch this! She couldn't watch her Deku suffer!
"Please! DEKU JUST DO IT! I CANT FIGHT IT! ID RATHER DIE THEN HURT YOU AGAIN!" She begged.
"Uraraka, I won't." Izuku said full of determination. "Not until I defeat him, I won't die!" Izuku and her made eye contact, both yearning for each other.
"Really brat?" Shigarak thought as a most unspeakable thought entered his head. He let out a twisted and demented smile. "Bite off his head!" Both Uraraka and Izuku gasped at hearing this.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Uraraka cried as her arms brought him to her mouth. Izuku snarled, what a disgusting and evil thing to make her do! If she did this, he knew she would have never forgive herself!
"DAMN IT DEKU YOU HAVE TO FIGHT NOW!" Uraraka panicked as she slowly moved him closer to her jaws. She fought with such willpower she was actually slowing the quirk down. Shigaraki has to admit he was impressed but it wouldn't help. Uraraka wished she could make herself die right now, if she did this, even if it wasn't her control, how could she live knowing she performed such an unspeakable taboo as live cannibalism? Her tears and wails echoed across the dome as Izuku panicked, he didn't know if she could even bite through him but if she ate him, the only way he could escape was if he punched his way out. Something he would never do to her.
"Uraraka, listen to me!" Izuku said knowing he was screwed. "I don't see a way out of this, I'm going to let you bite me. You'll ingest my DNA, and I will pass on One For All to you! Then it will be up to you!"
"DEKU PLEASE JUST ESCAPE! I DON'T CARE IF I DIE!" Uraraka protested. She didn't want this!
"Even if I did that! He will kill our class! This is the only way!" Izuku cried as his head was lined on her bottom row of teeth. He could feel the vibrations of her screaming. He shut his eyes, resigning to his fate, it would be left to Uraraka now…..
"It's over, you can't escape. No one will help you either from the outside, there was only one other here who had the strength to break this dome and I killed him." Shigaraki thought in twisted pleasure. It was going to be all his! One For All would be destroyed forever!
"ATOMIC!" Shigaraki turned his head. "BLAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSTTTT!" Suddenly, the dust cloud sucked out like a vacuum as the energy dome cracked like glass. Shigaraki got distracted and turned off his control quirk. Uraraka felt her control return and immediately took Izuku out of her mouth and returned to her normal size.
"Izuku!" Uraraka cried hugging him tightly. Izuku hugged her back and kissed her on the forehead. He then looked up and smiled at what he saw.
"Still alive!" Yankee said laughing. Behind him were Lady Liberty, Blizzard, and Endeavor, all wearing an extremely angry look on their face.
Thar y'all go! The vote to spare Yankee and LL won.
