Chapter 36

Man getting to the end here, I'm tempted to drag out the story but quality over quantity and day.

Much was going through Izukus mind right now. He had grown numb to most emotion over the last few months. He hoped this was the last battle, it had to be! Then again, he thought after All For One was disposed of that it would be over and was he wrong. Part of him wondered if it would be better to die taking down Shigaraki. Those thoughts left his mind when he thought of who he still had waiting for him. Yankee placed Uraraka on the ground gently as the other pros brought the rest of the class to safety.

"Yankee Sir?" Uraraka asked as Yankee began to walk away.

"Yeah?" Yankee responded.

"Thank you for watching out for him." Uraraka said full of gratitude. Yankee was the only one still alive who had been by Izuku's side since All For One took control of Japan.

"That's our job ain't it?" Yankee laughed. "I've grown quite fond of him, and he'll win."

"Really?" Uraraka asked. She believed in Deku but Tomura was powerful and crazed.

"You gave him something to come back to." Yankee said reassuring her. "All the shit he's endured to see you again, ain't no way he's gonna let this guy win." Uraraka felt her heart swell up. Back at the battlefield, Izuku and Tomura stood ready to attack. Izuku wanted to try one last before they fought.

"You can stop this." Izuku said catching Tomura by surprise. "It's not too late to turn this around.

"Really?" Tomura asked.

"Whatever it was that led you here, I don't know your life story. I was in that position, I have people I care about still, maybe we can get you help." Izuku genuinely offered.

"Oh I'm that case, I guess I give up, you win." Shigaraki said laughing. "You will never be a hero after what you did, don't bother with that heroic bullshit about saving an enemy!"

"At least I tried." Izuku said getting ready to fight. Tomura charged at him full speed. Izuku knew this time, Shigaraki would kill him as soon as he could meaning if just one hand touched him, it was over. Izuku resorted to using black whip at a long range to avoid the deadly decay quirk. Izuku wrapped him with black whip to restrain him as Tomura used his density quirk to shoot into the air bringing Izuku with him. He then increased his density a hundred fold sending him hurtling back towards the ground resulting in Izuku slamming hard into the concrete. Izuku growled as Tomura zoomed in on him, Izuku barely dodged his hand as he delivered a punch to Shigarakis stomach, sending him flying away. Shigaraki charged back knowing not to underestimate him, this was the same one who defeated someone as brutally powerful as Muscular even before mastering his quirk, and destroying All For One. The two clashed as Izuku immediately went on the defensive avoiding being grabbed by Tomura. It was difficult as Izuku couldn't risk throwing a punch or kick lest the villain grab his limb and decay it. He needed a way to take out his hands, not even that, at least get rid of one finger on each. Until he did that, he had no hope of stopping him in close quarters. He couldn't use Solar Sabre as it was still dark out. He then got an idea that was risky, but might work. He threw a punch at Shigaraki who smiled delightfully seeing his chance. As predicted, Tomura went to grab his hand but just before he could grasp it. Izuku reverted to his teenage body causing his arm to shrink in mass allowing him to escape the grasp. The distraction allowed him to transform into an adult again as he uppercut Shigaraki as hard as he could. A shockwave reverberated as Tomura went flying thousands of feet in the air. Izuku knew that wouldn't be enough to take him out and that the same trick wouldn't work again. But it gave him much needed time to think of a way he could cripple Tomuras fingers.

"This way let's go!" Endeavor ordered as thousands of people evacuated. Blizzard was putting out fires as Sand Golem used his creations to lift debris. Lady Liberty was providing medical while Yankee obliterated any incoming debris. Lioness did her best to run and carry people away. Backup had arrived as well, the commotion had drawn out the rest of the pros in the city including Mt. Lady, Kamui Woods, Hawks, and Best Jeanist along with the staff of U.A. Explosions from the strikes of Izuku and Tomura shook the entire area as Class 1A came to.

"What happened?!" Kaminari complained clutching his aching head.

"That was me." Bakugo said.

"The hell dude?" Mineta whined.

"Didn't you hear him? He was gonna control us again! That's why I knocked us all out Testicle Head!" Bakugo yelled.

"Good thinking Bakugo." Iida complimented.

"Whatever!" Kacchan dismissed.

"Where is he now?" Sato asked. "Midoriya?"

"He's fighting Tomura." Uraraka answered.

"How do you know?" Todoroki asked her.

"Because, Bakugo didn't knock me out." Uraraka sighed, not wanting to relive that memory.

"What?" Bakugo asked, shocked. He swore he got everyone!

"No don't tell me he-" Kirishima cried.

"He got me, it was different this time. I still had my mind but he controlled my body. I somehow grew big and he made me crush Izuku in my hands." Uraraka said. She had no idea how she grew. The class was never told of their secondary quirks.

"But that isn't your quirk!" Mina said.

"I know, I don't know it happened." Uraraka said, shaking. "That wasn't even the worst part-"

"Are you okay?" Asui asked sensing the despair of her friend.

"H-he-." She gulped. "He tried to make me bite his head off and eat him…." The class grew silent. They knew Tomura was evil, but to do something like that was beyond wretched. Several of them grew physically sick from that.

"Uraraka I-" Jiro said, sighing. What a disgusting and evil thing to make someone do.

"It's okay now, Yankee arrived just in time." Uraraka said, putting on a facade to hide her feelings. She kept envisioning what would have happened if Yankee hadn't arrived when he did. She would have bit his head off and swallowed his corpse.. The mere thought of that having been a possibility made her feel sick.

Izuku had many ideas running through his head to get rid of some fingers. He had no idea what time it was but estimated it to be around four in the morning meaning Solar Sabre would be out of the field. He had no other quirks that could slice off a finger. He gasped as Tomura came rushing back down as he went to grab him. Izuku quickly put his hands up and grabbed Shigaraki at the wrists so he could move his hand. Izuku cursed himself, now he was stuck! The second he let go Tomura would charge him at speeds he didn't think he could counter due to such close proximity. The two grunted as they tried to overpower each other. Izuku headbutted Shigaraki allowing him to escape the grasp. Izuku then felt a sharp pain on his cheek. He touched it and felt it to be wet, he then saw blood on his hand. He looked up to see Shigaraki with a long metal blade sticking out of his hand. He gulped, this same quirk killed All Might and his mother.

"Dammit if he- wait! This could be good! I hope that metal isn't impervious!" Izuku thought as he purposely exposed himself again. Shigaraki saw this and swung his blade again. Izuku grabbed the blade with black whip and pulled on it, sending the blade and Shigaraki to the ground. He then used his legs to snap the blade in half granting him a mini sword. Shigaraki cursed as he got up and saw Izuku swing at him. He screamed as he felt his fingers get cleaved off.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" He yelled, jumping back. His left hand had lost his middle finger and his right hand had lost its index and middle finger. This meant he could use decay! "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!

"Yes!" Izuku thought. Such poetic justice, the quirk that killed All Might and his mother was now used to cripple the apprentice of the one who commited said murders. Izuku let a smile crawl on his face as Tomura charged him. The two exchanged blows with Izuku now being able to go on the offensive. Kicks and punches sent them flying across the city into multiple buildings. Shigaraki kicked Izuku, sending him into a building which collapsed from the blow. Izuku felt tons of concrete and metal collapse on him as he kicked the debris off of him only to see Shigaraki swinging a steel beam. The beam struck Izuku in the face and sent him skidding across the ground. Tomura chased after and activated his most powerful quirk combo.

"Hypertrophy times 15, shock blaster, hardened fist, strength enhancer times 20, joint engine!" Tomuras arm mutated into a colossal limb with bulging muscles and a jet engine coming out of the elbow. Izuku got up and was struck in the chest with it. He gagged as he was flung at hypersonic speeds. He smashed into the ground creating a small earthquake. He coughed as he clutched his stomach. That blow did some damage, he slowly got up as Tomura came flying back again. Izuku's injury reduced his speed allowing Shigaraki to strike another blow at Izuku's knee cap. Izuku hailed in agony as his kneecap shattered and the ligaments tore. His back was struck next sending shearing pain across his whole body. Bloodied and bruised, he used black whip to grab Shigaraki again and swing him into the ground. Izuku tried to go after him but his knee made sure to remind him of the catastrophe trauma it had just endured. Izuku winced in pain as he put all his weight on his good leg. Tomura got back up and stared Izuku down, blood pouring out of his severed fingers and bruised and cut beyond recognition. This long and brutal fight had taken its toll. Izuku's injuries now were only aggravated more from when Uraraka cracked his ribs. Izuku was no stranger to pain but against such a powerful opponent, this would be bad. Izuku used flight to take the pressure off his legs and hovered a few inches off the ground.

"Dammit! I can't even move!" He didn't even want to know what his chest and stomach cavity looked like. He was out of ideas, he needed to end this now! He saw the sky was beginning to glow a bright blue and orange. He looked East and saw the faint glint of the rising sun. Had they really been fighting for this long?

"It's over!" Shigaraki said charging forward with this blow aimed at Izukus head. Izuku dodged at the last second and activated Solar Sabre and sliced Shigaraki vertically from the chest down. Shigaraki roared in agony as he clutched his chest. The searing pain of cauterization and internal damage enraged him. It was a serious injury. He had forgotten all about Solar Sabre! He attacked at night to make sure Izuku wouldn't be able to use it. He lost track of time and didn't realize they had been fighting for hours!

"DAMN YOU!" Shigaraki screamed ascending into the air. "I'll blast you! And this whole city! STRAIGHT TO HELLLL!" Izuku gasped knowing what he meant. He was going to use chi orb to wipe everyone out! Izuku winced in pain, he was running out of strength. This fight had been a brutal one. He watched in horror as a bright blue orb grew above Shigarakis hand. He had to stop this, even if it meant his life. Everyone scattered around the city watched as the blue orb continued to grow. They weren't far from the brawling super humans. The fight had taken Izuku and Shigaraki across the entire region.

"What the hell is that?" Yankee yelled.

"It's Shigaraki!" Iida replies remembering what Tomura said about the chi orb quirk. Izuku turned his head to see groups of hundreds of people in the area. Including his class and the pros. Why were they here?! They were supposed to get away! He figured the fight had been moving due to the speeds he and Shigaraki were using.

"EVERYONE LEAVE NOW!" Izuku cried. The citizens and hero's picked up on the warning and tried to move away.

"DIIIIIIIIIIEEEE!" Tomura yelled firing the orb. Izuku yelled as he brought his fist back. He had to use it, the ultimate move he thought of just the other day. Everyone watched as the energy ball grew closer. Izuku fired up OFA as he prepared to unleash hell.

"DEKU NO!" Uraraka screamed as Sand Golem grabbed her to pull her away. Izuku heard the crowds cries of fear and Cheers of support. Dammit! They wouldn't get away in time!

"One For All, Infinite!" He thought to himself as he let out a mighty roar and punched the orb with all the power within.

"SMMMMMMAAAAAAAASSSSHHHHHHHH!" The shockwave of the impact traveled across the entire planet. It was so powerful it disrupted the wind systems on Earth and even blew a hole straight through the stratosphere. Even being able to control it, Izuku felt breaks and burns releasing so much raw power. The chi orb came to a stop as Izuku was pushed back.

"Do it Deku!" Uraraka cried.

"COME ON MIDORIYA!" His class cried.

"GIVE HIM ALL YOU GOT KID!" Yankee yelled.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Izuku screamed. His punch was so powerful it sent everything hundreds of feet behind him flying at hypersonic speeds. Shgaraki clenched his teeth seeing the chi orb being blown back.

"DAMN IT! NOOOOOOOOOOOO-" He screamed as the combined force of the chi orb and One For All blasted away every cell in his body to oblivion. The blinding flash caused everyone to close their eyes. Once it disappeared and Izuku saw nothing remained of Shigaraki. He let out a laugh of relief as he fell backwards and quickly lost consciousness.

"All Might, I did it."

Nice juicy fight scene for ya.
