Chapter 35
30 minutes earlier.
Lady Liberty heaved for air as her quirk did it's best to heal from Tomuras deadly attack. She had felt her body flake away and come back multiple times. It hurt, she couldn't believe such a cruel quirk existed. Her bodies cells quickly split to undo the decaying effects. Once she was healed all the way she fell back clutching herself. She felt violated and sick. Her mind replaying what Brent had shouted.
"Kill me Dammit!"
"Susie! I'm here!"
"Brent!" She quickly got up and began to search for him. No doubt he took some serious damage from the fight. She ran to find him but it was difficult with all the destruction and rubble. She eventually found him and he was in bad shape. She wasted to time in using her quirk to heal him.
"Cmon Brent!" She begged. Her powers coursed through his body, instantly repaired all the damage he suffered from Tomura. Yankees breathing slowly returned to normal as he stabilized. His eyes opened up to see his Susie standing over him.
"Susie!" He laughed as he brought his hand up to her face."
"You're back!" She cried, taking his hand in hers. The two wanted to savor the moment but knew there was something dire going on. Yankee stood up as he sighed.
"Susie, Klaus is dead." Yankee said somberly.
"Ah know." LL said hugging him. She knew how much Yankee cared for Jaeger. "Ah know it hurts but that villian might still be out there! We have to go help those who are still here!"
"You're right." Yankee said steeling himself. There would be a time to mourn for his fallen friend but that time was not now. "Who is still with us?"
"Ah don't know." LL responded. "Ah know Ah saw a few people like Blizzard and Lioness but that was it."
"Shit!" Yankee said. For all he knew, the villain could have been defeated or he could have won. There was no way to know. "Come on! Let's see what going on!" The two began to ran seeing many corpses along the way.
"Spartan!" Yankee cried seeing the Greeks body. He had always been fond of Ageius.
"Eclipse too!" LL lamented. As good as her quirk was, once the heart stopped beating and the neurons stopped firing. There was nothing she could do.
"Rio, Snakes." Yankee said, clenching his fists. So much death, and for what? "Goddammit isn't there anyone left?"
"There!" Yankee turned to see the wounded, but breathing body of Lioness. The two did not hesitate to run to her. Once Lioness was healed she merely grabbed her face in frustration.
"We were no match for him." Lioness said sadly.
"It's okay girl." LL said hugging the Nigerian. Lioness appreciated the affection as she saw Yankee standing next to her.
"Yankee! You're alive! We thought you were dead!" Lioness cried out jubilantly.
"Almost was." Yankee said. "I'm glad you're okay."
"Is there anyone else still alive?" LL asked.
"From what I sensed, only three still live. Blizzard, Endeavor, and Sand Golem." She then sighed. "Eraserhead and the Agent Commander are both dead as well."
"Aizawa and Levi?" Yankee cried. He knew this news was going to kill Izuku.
"I heard Levi." Lioness explained. "The child gave into rage again, Levi was the one who pulled him back, I don't know how he died but his life force is gone. I don't know what happened to Eraserhead."
"Levi." Yankee said. "Maybe he wasn't so bad after all."
"Eraser." LL said sadly. They had not gotten off to a good start due to her getting Izuku drunk but, he was a true hero through thick and thin.
"We have to help Blizzard, Endeavor, and Sand Golem." Yankee said. "We need to move!" The girls agreed as they went to search for the injured heroes. They gave silent respect to the corpse of Eraserhead, Levi's body was nowhere to be found. LL went to work reviving the three injured hero's and filled them in on the situation. They didn't mention Aizawa and Levi's demise.
"Where is he now!?" Endeavor asked, referring to Tomura.
"That man needs to freeze." Blizzard said angrily.
"Lioness can you find them?" Yankee asked.
"Give me a moment." Lioness said as she sat down and mediated.
"Hey, I don't think that'll be necessary." Sand Golem said pointing to a large purple down in the distance.
"The fuck is that?" Yankee asked.
"I don't know but I can feel immense power from within." Lioness said. "That must be the child and the villain."
"That's where U.A is…" Endeavor said, full of worry. "SHOTO!"
"Well fuck guess we found our target! Cmon!" Yankee said as the group ran as hard as they could. The only ones at UA we're the students of Class 1A for their protection from the public, other students and teachers were ordered to stay at home while the global top ten would serve as security. In other words, there was no backup. They finally arrived at the dome, except for Yankee who fell far behind due to his larger figure. The heroes waited as he power walked the rest of the way, sweating and hyperventilating from the exercise.
"Ah Jesus!" Yankee said, trying to catch his breath. His hands on his knees. "Oh! I gotta quit smoking!"
"Americans, how typical." Blizzard said.
"Ah fuck you you ruskie son of a bitch!" Yankee countered. The group analyzed the dome and attacked it but it didn't budge.
"Looks like we need some muscle power." Sand Golem said.
"Hehe, lucky I'm your guy." Yankee said. "I'll use Atomic Blast, I need you all to hit me!"
"Why don't I use my fire?" Endeavor asked.
"Cause that'll burn me dumbass! I need kinetic energy!" Yankee retorted.
"I can make golems to hit you." Sand Golem said easing several large sand creatures formed.
"Yeah that'll do!" Yankee said, looking at everyone else. "Rest of you, just punch me I guess?"
"Oh I'll enjoy this." Blizzard said cracking his knuckles. The group pounded on Yankee relentlessly as energy built up within him. Once he had enough he laughed as he stood up straight.
"Aight you might wanna back up." The American said as he wound up his fist. "ATOMIC! BLAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSTTTTTTTT!
Present.
"You are still alive?" Tomura roared.
"Damn right we are." Yankee growled. "There ain't no way you are getting away with killing all of them!" Izuku saw Lioness and Sand Golem arrive as well!
"You all!" Izuku said full of joy. "I'm so glad your okay!"
"Not for long they will-" Tomura tried to say as a fury of fire and sand struck him creating a thick glass structure that entombed him.
"I don't think so." Sand Golem said as he nodded to Endeavor.
"You guys, I appreciate you helping but-" Izuku tried to explain.
"We know." Blizzard said. "We don't stand a chance against him."
"That attack will only hold him for a little bit." Endeavor said walking up. "Midoriya, is my son okay?"
"Y-yeah he's over there with the rest of my class Shigaraki has a quirk that lets him control someone's body. Kacch-I mean, Bakugo knocked everyone out so Tomura couldn't use them." Izuku explained knowing Endeavor wouldn't know of Bakugos nickname.
"I see." Endeavor said. He shuddered thinking of his son going through that again after how distraught he was the first time.
"Look here's the plan." Yankee said. "You're gonna have to fight him. We will only get in the way, but don't hold back. We will be here to contain the collateral damage and save anyone who needs it. That way you can focus on that shithead." Yankee explained. "And I'm sorry about your teacher."
"What?" Endeavor asked. He was unaware of Aizawa fate.
"Mr. Aizawa, he sacrificed himself to make sure Shigaraki wouldn't get his quirk." Izuku explained. Endeavor snarled, Eraserhead, the one pro who escaped the mind control, was dead? Endeavor had always respected him.
"Deku?" Uraraka cried. This was her first time hearing this as well.
"Tomura has everyone down. He tried to take Mr. Aizawas quirk. He knew there was no way out of it so he slit his own throat to make sure Shigaraki wouldn't get Erasure." Izuku explained sadly. "If Tomura got that quirk no one could stop him, he sacrificed his life to save all of us."
"Mr Aizawa!" Uraraka whimpered. Her grumpy
Homeroom teacher made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure they would all live. The greatest love one could show was to give their life for another. To make a legacy was to plant seeds you would never see grow. Uraraka sobbed as she hugged Izuku tightly. "Izuku, beat him! Make sure no one else dies!"
"I promise." Izuku said. "No more blood will be shed today aside from his." He then looked to Yankee. "Levi also died-"
"I know kid, I know he saved you." Yankee said. Izuku nodded as he held Uraraka our to him.
Get her and my classmates out of here."
"Damn right we will." Yankee said, grabbing Uraraka. "Alright everyone, let the kid do his thing! Our job is damage control!" The pros took off to evacuate any nearby people as Izuku prepared to fight once more. Yankee carries Uraraka in his arms bridal style away from the battlefield.
"So yer the girl he always talked about!" Yankee said smiling.
"Huh?" Uraraka asked.
"He never stopped thinking about you, you're a lucky girl." Yankee assured as Tomura broke out from his glass entrapment. Izuku fired up One for All. This was it, win or lose, this would be the last battle in the dynasty of All for One and One for All.
