A/N: I can feel my right-hand twitching, think I'll take a short break after this. *Sigh* Biggest chapter since Hosu, haha... well, Review Time!
To Murtaito: Awesome to hear you like last chapter. As for Viral and Akio, they are probably the strongest out of Class 1-A given the fact nothing can actually kill them both together say for divine energy, other Nightmares, or each other. The virus, like with Yuki, has weakened them though.
To Cobb: Yuki, like many OCs I've written, has flaws like anyone else, it makes their struggles believable and despite the fact she has a nanotech she isn't going to just flick her fingers and every problem is gone. No offense to OP creators but I just can't see how making every challenge so insignificant is exciting. So I'm glad I've written Yuki the right way, you'll love this finale for the movie!
Man, I think this is the most detailed review reply I've done, haha. Enjoy.
Chapter 37 - Movie, Four Heroes
[200th Floor]
Izuku took the vanguard, bounding onto the wall, evading the gunfire by leaping to the ceiling, kicking the first armed guard through the wall, followed by him rebounding with a left hook to the second's stomach, knocking him down the stairs past Melissa, herself helping Yuki up the final flights as the virus continued to crawl across her body.
Once inside the final halls bathed in darkness, they steadied their pace, unable to rush in without knowing if the enemy was waiting for them. "Melissa, where's the control room located?"
"In front of the central elevator," She replied, stopping as Yuki slumped to the wall. "Yuki , hold on."
'Bad... connection weak... Siva... losing c-control' Yuki could feel it, her thoughts were starting to fill with a strange, impulsive desire, it was so very tempting but she kept herself steady, Izuku looking back in fright, so her now white right eye displayed a thumbs-up. 'G-go, I'm fine'
Once down the hall, the trio stopped before the Vault, the wide, circular lock wide open. "Someone's already in there..." Izuku peered closer, motioning for the girls to stay close as they approached the entrance
Once in view, Melissa gasped. "Papa! Why is he up on the top floor though?"
"Maybe the villains brought him here, they might need something from him?" His suggestion brought up something Yuki recalled Ravage spouting about a 'Contractor', maybe this was what they were after, something only the Professor could supply?
"We have to help him," Melissa announced, but that was already decided the moment the duo spotted him and his assistant
"I've unlocked it, Block Eleven-Forty-Seven!" David declared with a subtle relief, Sam rushing over to the many alternating boxes in the walls, spanning across countless safes. They soon shut down, leaving only one to pop out slightly from the exterior
"You did it, Professor," Sam revealed the contents of the safe, a briefcase with only a single, rectangular device colored white with strange, glowing rivers of code etched into the sides, it was roughly the size of a person's palm. "Look, everything is here, it's perfect."
"Finally," David bowed his head with a frown. "I've gotten it back, all my research, and they took my device away from me," He clenched his fists, even his words and tone threw the teens into a worried state, themselves looking among each other, then they entered the Vault. "And now it's mine."
"Just like we planned," Sam sighed, "Seems like the villains are holding things down, just wish that large one wouldn't cause so much needless destruction." As they spoke, David headed up to meet Sam with a grateful smile, all while disbelief rocketed through the teens, themselves unable to understand what they were hearing
"Did he... plan all of this?" Yuki looked to her arms, the infection stopping just before her wrists. "He... brought Ravage here?"
"Papa..." Melissa finally spoke up, her heart was pounding with horror, she... no, she refused to believe whatever was being spoken, even if a slither of her said it was true
"Melissa?" David was shocked to see her, and the two teens All Might brought with him, the girl looking worse for wear with- "That infection... no."
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Sam asked with worry, more so over their plans having been unraveled
"What do you mean it's like you planned it?" She stepped forward. "Don't tell that... you were the one behind this?" He didn't move, his mouth locked in fright, his eyes unwavering. "You did all this, just to steal something?" He was hesitating, and Melissa still refused to acknowledge it. "No, it can't be true!"
He closed his eyes, shaken, guilty, utterly loss for words until he raised his head to his daughter. "Yes, it is." Three soft words brought Yuki and Izuku beside Melissa, the former's eyes burning with rage
"Papa, how could you!?" The words stung the air
"The Professor was only trying to get back what was stolen," Sam enforced, clutching the case tightly. "The invention inside this briefcase can sustain and rejuvenate a person's Quirk."
"Just like Yuki's Quirk? Is that possible?" Izuku asked Sam, he nodded
"Yes, actually, the designs were based on Miss Azuru's amazing Quirk, it's still being tested, of course, but unlike with drugs, this device can repair damage to a person's Quirk and even amplify its capabilities without doing any damage to their body or brain." David hadn't raised his head to any of them, so, with a heavy heart Sam told them
"Yet despite that, our sponsors confiscated this prototype and our research data, they demanded that the project be abandoned. They worried something like this could drastically affect the structure of superhuman society, different nations put pressure on your father to end it,"
"That's why we did this," Sam retold sadly. "So I suggested the idea to hire people to steal it back for us, not real villains, of course, but those with the capable skills to execute this mission without harming anyone, we made the abundantly clear, in the end, we would be forced to steal back our invention and move to work someplace else."
"I had it set to begin during the I-Expo Reception where all the sponsors and heroes would be, keeping them out of harm's way while these 'villains' put on a show and made it look like I-Island was under attack by villains," Sam concluded, realizing the horror written in their eyes at every truthful word
"I-I don't understand, there's something I'm missing, right?" Melissa didn't want to hear any of this, she didn't want to believe a single word of it. Neither did Yuki, the man who was All Might's closest friend, like family, and he betrayed that trust for a pile of scrap?
"I'm so sorry." David couldn't look her in the eye
Tears stained the ground beside Yuki. "This doesn't make any sense, the Papa I know and love wouldn't act like a villain no matter what!" She was barely able to stand. "So why then, why!?"
"I had to for All Might," The words boomed in their ears, none more than the two bearing his secret. "You three probably aren't aware of this, but All Might's Quirk is disappearing, however, if he uses this device he'll be his old self," These words, the convictions in his eyes, Yuki saw them all before
"Your kind have no understanding of the potential of SIVA, of the perfect world my kin so desperately cling too, one I will help to reforge with metal and pride!" His towering visage loomed over Yuki, and much like Stain, all could barely move as his conviction chilled their bones. "I am Kovik, Splicer Priest of the House of Devils, for the glory of Aksis, the Fallen will rise again!"
"He's obsessed, he doesn't want to lose his friend, his hero, just how Kovik wants to hold onto the beliefs of his master." Yuki hated it, but she understood his convictions. "But all this pain and suffering wasn't the right way."
"-No, his abilities would be even stronger than they were!" David proclaimed, a desperate smile on his face as he waved his hands. "The number one hero, the Symbol of Peace can get his strength and light back again! He can keep saving people, just like he always has!"
"The professor's upset because his friend's power his fading," A dark, blue aura loomed over Izuku, he realized... it was all because he was the new inheritor, All Might's strength was failing because it was already passed on. "This is all happening because All Might passed One For All on to me. He doesn't know..."
"Please," David took the case, holding it in his trembling hands. "Please just let me hand this device over to All Might, there's no time to remake it!" Now he was going mad with despair. "When this is over I don't care what kind of punishment I receive!"
'You would make your daughter, your flesh and blood, cry just for that?' Yuki's note flew before them all in big, bold letters. The Professor froze, seeing the furious look in Yuki's mask, her hands balled up. 'Don't stand there thinking you're some hero when all you are is a man too afraid to admit the Symbol of Peace isn't immortal!'
"They risked their lives," Melissa snapped, throwing her arm back to defend the two with her own rage and sadness. "Deku, Yuki, and the others risked their lives, they went through so much just to make it this far, do you have any idea how dangerous this was!?"
"Yuki and two of her friends are infected with a virus that's killing them right now and we can't stop it, even with all their power it's impossible without that villain's defeat! My best friend, someone I see just as important as family is dying while also trying so hard to save everyone on the island!" Melissa's words echoed inside the Vault, Yuki for a moment feeling really grateful for saying that, even as she watched as her hands trembled, the white lines crawling and breaking her skin
David couldn't believe what he was hearing. "What do you mean, the villains are fake," Though that large one did strike him as odd he figured it was just for intimidation. "It's all supposed to be an act?"
"That was the intention, though your execution was lacking," All of them spun right around to the doorway, the masked man stepping inside. One of his subordinates standing by. "The real difficulty was pretending to act like fake criminals, though Ravage's silver tongue more than aided in that effort, didn't you know it's extremely difficult to tell when a Nightmare is lying or telling the truth? Not unless you're bonded with one but I skimmed those details," Red Eye brushed his hand dismissively
The sudden reveal threw Izuku into action, Full Cowling reacting on instinct. "You're the boss!"
"That I am," He slid his right foot forward, and the floor gave way, pipes, and wires attacking Izuku in a heartbeat, pinning him to the far end of the Vault, strapping his arms and mouth shut while the wires bound themselves to Yuki's body, tightening their hold on her form as she struggled to sit on her knees, wincing at the strain to her muscles
"Oh no, Deku, Yuki!" Melissa ran for Yuki but her head motioned for her to aid Izuku as she fought against the restraints
"Much as I hate attacking kids it can't be helped, Sam, hand over the device," Red Eye motioned with his fingers
"Right! Here you go," He snatched the case from the dumbfounded Professor, running down the steps
"Sam?" David soon realized the ploy he had willingly fallen for. "This was your plan? You were going to hand it over all along?"
"You were the one who tricked me, professor," He replied bitterly. "I've been your assistant for all these years, and you let them take our work, we could have had fame and fortune, but no," He stared back at his colleague with anguish in his eyes. "I deserve more, I need to be rewarded, I don't want my entire career to be a complete waste of time!"
Red Eye watched this unfold, shrugging as he tapped his foot to the ground. "Tch, well, stuck true to the end," When Sam turned Red Eye's hand clutched a large, metal rod. "So I won't kill you." He threw his arm forward, plunging the bar through Sam's shoulder, hearing him cry as he was thrown to the ground
"Sam!" Melissa cupped her mouth while Yuki felt her heart pound against her ribs, seeing blood fly across the floor
"Wait, th-this wasn't part of the plan?" Sam cowered, clutching his shoulder as Red Eye shoved him back to the floor
"I don't care, Ravage's contractor, Kovik, was it?" That name resonated with Yuki as she bent the metal and wires in her hands. "Well, he told me if I give this device to that fool I'll be rewarded, he doesn't care for the device only the data, so, I'd rather avoid any more unnecessary bloodshed," Then his neck twisted to the approaching Professor. "Oh, but I need you alive, Professor."
Yanking the bar from Sam's shoulder he swung forward, knocking David to the ground before sharpening the point, using it to slice across David's collarbone, it wasn't fatal but it kept him down and submissive as he grunted.
"Hmm, maybe I should kill you," He returned to Sam, drawing the weapon back. "A few loose ends and who will believe children?" The world completely froze for a frame, and blood soon flew across the floor
Izuku's eyes bulged at the sight of crimson, his arms straining against the metal restraints as David took the hit through his shoulder blade and just above his lung, barely surviving as his blood stained the ground. "P-Professor, why?" Sam could hardly breathe as his companion lay face down in his own blood, taking the strike for him
"Get... out of here!" He ground his teeth, trying to lift himself
"Papa!" Melissa took off to help him, leaving Izuku to desperately thrash against the wall, pulling and cracking the surface with each distressed attempt
"Stay back!" It was far too late. Red Eye reached forward, latching his hand around Melissa's face, effortlessly plucking her off the ground as she struggled to breathe
"Quirkless yet you fought? Kids today are so strange," Red Eye's vice-like hold tightened. "I'm starting to lose my nerve, if you children want to die so badly then I'll happily oblige, I hate murdering if there's a peaceful option but if you want to die a hero, then who am I to refuse?" His grip worsened, making her faint struggles weaken
"No, come on!" Yuki thrashed in the wires, feeling them dig through her skin as her mind raced solely to save her friend, tears streaming down Melissa's face as her father called out her name hoarsely. "I failed Mom, Dad, Nana, I won't... I can't let another family suffer too!"
I-I-I am h-her-here | R-r-ris-sky | W-w-wha-a-t sha-shall w-we do-o?
"Fight! I don't care If I die, stop him!" Red surged over her body, pulling at her skin as metal and shrapnel dug into her flesh, first her arms, then her legs then came her helmet and upper torso. Using the metal around her she infected it with her own power, pushing herself with just twenty percent as the wires snapped and splayed across the ground
"What?" Red Eye barely had the time to throw the girl away as he brought up a metal wall to block Yuki's kick, the material bending as she flung herself around the cubic pillar, striking with her fist as he caught it. His head snapped up to her scarlet eyes. "I can't convert your metal?"
Yuki huffed and pushed back, forcing Red Eye to divert her path, flicking his hand to send forth three spikes to intercept. Yuki pressed down on the ground, the metal under her warping and bending into their own shapes, several small spikes countered as she flew between them, bringing an ax-kick down where Red Eye once stood, his foot sliding left to right, drawing a large wall to slam into her stomach.
"Get lost," He pushed down on the wall's face, causing it to bend and crash Yuki against the floor as it retracted. Turning to David he brought his foot up and cracked the Professor across the head, knocking him out. "Take him, I'll finish up here."
"You got it," The man with a visor complied, picking up the Professor as Red Eye turned to Melissa, her hand reaching out toward her dad with tears streaming down her face
"Please... please no, give him back!" She wept slash begged him, but now he held no sympathy for any of them. They had messed up their simple mission long ago, now, he was going to ensure no other interruptions occur
"Don't worry," He held his hand down at her, the floor warping slowly under his boots. "I'll make it painless at least."
"Don't you... HURT HER!" Izuku, having watched more than enough broke free, the metal snapped and flung itself between Red Eye and Melissa as he smashed the machines behind him, bringing his arm back. "Smash!"
His fist merely connected with a wall, but that didn't impede his momentum, the wind pressure forcing his body forward, creasing a circle into the metal as it groaned against his strength. With one look to Melissa, he nodded his head. "Melissa, I got the Professor and Sam," His eyes burned with an electric green contrail, his very body heating up rapidly. "Save everyone else!"
Without hesitation to cloud her mind Melissa stormed off, leaving Izuku to fend of the villains. Red Eye saw this. "Dammit, stop her!" He snapped, the man dropping the Professor to intercept
Izuku didn't have the time to wait, he turned only to have many metal walls stand in his way. Not to be outdone, Izuku turned and jumped for the far wall of the Vault, running up the vertical surface as Yuki would before propelling himself across the chamber, landing inches from the villain as Melissa passed by.
"I won't let you stop her!" He vowed, rushing his foe, or until three pillars of steel jutting from the walls. "I've seen this, almost like Jura's Quirk," His eyes snapped wide, bracing his body for the oncoming attack. "I can beat this!" He leapt up, tearing through the first with his right leg, the second one with his left elbow, then the third with a right cross, diverting the pillar to crash just an inch above the white-haired villain's crown
"Empty threats from a deadman," Red Eye sneered, clenching his fist as four more pillars collided with Izuku's arms, forcing him to brace against the might, his own footing slipping under the strain
"Everyone..." More pillars slammed into his arms, and now he heard them groan in pain. "All Might... Yuki..." His left foot overturned the floor, his lip bled from his teeth biting down as his threshold soared to twenty percent, the air force increasing the pressure around his body before- "I will save you!" He threw his arms wide, dispersing the pillars long enough for his body to shoot through the gaps, zipping under another column as his body creaked
Red Eye stepped back, ready for his attacker who's body's own outline glowed emerald green with a crackle and snap off his attacks. Then came the fist that burrowed itself into Izuku's own cheek, tossing him into one of the nearby walls Red Eye erected. When he turned his head, he found that the greenette was pinned by his own ally, the girl currently infected by Ravage. "Hmm, well that was unexpected."
Suddenly, the whole Tower let out a strange, cycling moan, the lights coming back online. "She's already gotten control?" Red Eye looked to the Professor at his feet, picking him up. "We're out of time, take the device and let's move."
As they packed their things, Izuku strained his hands against Yuki's own, the virus had spread to most of her body and now she was filled with a lustful desire to kill and maim just about anything in her sights. Nothing else mattered, only to hear him scream, snap his bones, strip his flesh, everything that would satisfy her desire to maim. Pressing her knee against his stomach she leaned forward, her claws digging into his gauntlet as he held her back, straining.
"Yu-ki, you need t-to snap out of it!" He pushed, her strength even at twenty percent was almost too much. "I have to save him, and stop Ravage, otherwise, why am I even here?" Pushing his elbows under him he managed to pry a few inches between them. "Yuki, listen to me! You're not SIVA, you're not Ravage, your name is Aksis, a hero!" He watched her right hand curl up, bracing for a devastating blow with his teeth bared. "Wake up, Yuki!"
*Bam!*
Weightlessness came quickly, watching Yuki's cheek crease under her mask as her left fist followed suit, digging into her abdomen's barding while she tumbled back, coughing up more white gunk from under her mask. Rushing to her aid, Izuku found her hand shoving him toward the Vault's door. "But I can't-" Again it shoved with more force
She lost her sense of self for a second there, whatever this virus was it wasn't killing her, more like it was trying to infect her thoughts and body with Ravage's own mentality. If not for SIVA's constant presence she might have lost her mind a while ago. Holding her gaze to her partner's, she needed time to think rationally but the villains were getting away, Izuku needed to stop them.
Their stare-off lasted until the complex shook from below. Whatever it was finally broke their stare, Izuku ran, reluctantly at first, leaving Yuki to handle herself. Now alone, she crumpled to the ground, feeling the cold, hard surface from under her barding. "I may not be a pro, but I'll do what I can for now." Izuku soon left her sight
New idea | It's risky but it could aid us | Augment yourself
Yuki rose a brow, that seemed like the worst idea given her recent attempt to tear her boyfriend's throat out. Her head jutted up. If she augmented her body, that would mean there was more the virus had to infect in order to take effect, so while the infection rate would increase, the mass it had to overtake would also rise.
"I need to augment myself with my most equipped arsenal, usually we'd use our clusters, however," She slapped her hands to the ground, feeling the connections and electrical system running while under her palms. "We're standing on top of a technological treasure."
...
...
...
"SIVA?"
|Yes?|
"Reactivate the command." Her eyes shimmered scarlet for a mere moment.
Consume | Enhance | Replicate
[Central Tower Roof]
As the helicopter spun itself up, Red Eye threw the Professor and the case into the vehicle, while leaving his men wasn't a good thing it was far too risky to wait now that All Might was free. Shaking his head he placed his hand on the roof of the frame.
"Stop!" His head swung back, seeing the form of that boy hunched in the doorway. "You give the Professor back right now!"
"Strange, you come for him even though he betrayed you all, gave up his good nature to save his ally without realizing he merely aided Japan's most wanted criminal and his hired help?" It was perplexing, but that was a hero's M.O, but to see it in a child was strange. "You must be delusional, then again, you took care of your own friend that tried to kill you."
"Of course I did! I came here to save David Shield from the likes of you!" Izuku stormed the rooftop, ebbing across the concrete with a rush of energy
Red Eye pushed his foot forward, dislodging several pillars from the ground to stop him. "You still help a man that's no better than people like me!?"
Izuku dived over the first, running up and across the second to escape the four others that smashed apart the ground, "You watch, I'm going to save everyone, that includes the Professor!" He slid down the length of another heading straight for Red Eye
"Hardly when you can't even beat me!" Three more swarmed from below
"Shut up!" He screamed, grabbing the next to swing himself up and over the next two, sliding down the first with his feet. "That's what heroes do, they help people who are in trouble!" His fist tore through another, while the ground under him was ripped apart by more serpents of steel, wires snatching at his feet as he tore them apart with his speed
"I see," Red Eye conjured a spear, posing the tip toward the Professor's throat. Seeing this, Izuku stopped charging, landing a few feet away from them. "I get you, that look in your eyes, I've seen it," Izuku stumbled a little. "I once had the world tear my beliefs down by the thread, my hopes were all thrown away, you just crawled up a different ledge than I did once the dust settled,"
Red Eye pressed his fingers to the ground. "In the end, this just who we are," A larger column slammed into Izuku at an alarming rate, ridding him from Red Eye's sight. He twisted his hand, seeing Izuku dodge between the two pillars as another caught him from below, one up above intercepting, crushing the boy between the two as a third pulverized all three, throwing him high and back into the earth, he didn't get up this time. "...Good luck, kid; Takeoff, we're done here."
Turning in the ground, Izuku bent at his hands and knees, refusing to yield, not when someone needed his help. That was when the ground disappeared with a shove, when he turned, two arms wrapped around his waist, pulling him through the air like a jet. His eyes brightened as Yuki winked, herself in Valorgod mode, even as the white infection continued to spread.
"Come on, Yuki, that guy can't active much metal if all he has is the helicopter!" Hearing his insight she agreed and sped up with a jet boost from her wings, Izuku yelling angrily as they crashed into the side of the vehicle, the pilot struggling to keep it steady from the sudden impact of a heavily armored girl
Izuku latched to the side, reaching out his hand for the Professor while Yuki pulled herself closer, her wings piercing the hull to keep them steady, but even at this level her control was slipping, and the unstable rocking of the helicopter made it harder to keep a grip. "Grab my hand!"
"Stop, let me go, Midoriya!" David had all but given up, even as the two struggled to fight
"Melissa is down there! Your daughter is waiting for you!" His hand reached closer, seeing a spark of hope in his eyes
"I'll give you my respect, you both act like real heroes," They saw Red Eye approach, his foot shoving one of Yuki's wings out of the side of the door, while he held onto the metal spear, bringing it high toward Izuku. "But you are both fools." He threw it forward, the spear deflecting off Izuku's gauntlet as he slammed into Yuki, herself losing her grip as they plummeted from the helicopter
"Think, what can we do!? What can we do!?" He kept reaching out, the villain's glare getting further and further away, and to his sides Yuki's left wing was covered in white code, corrupted like her body. Both crashed back to earth, unable to muster the strength to move
"DEKU, YUKI!" Hearing Melissa's voice, the two rose atop the other, trying to pull themselves toward their impossible goal, even the flames in Yuki's wings had died out
"Come back... come back, let him go, don't take the Professor! DAMMIIIIIT!" Izuku's wailing scream toward the sky made it hard to listen to, Yuki herself wishing she could too but her anger only served to make the virus spread further
"Don't you dare lose that smile, alright, Young Midoriya!" That voice...! Something tore up the side of the Tower, ripping through the panels as the figure shot into the skies above. "Hyah! It's fine now! Do you know why!?" Everyone either trembled or were left in awe. With a white smile and a fierce posture, All Might loomed over the villains. "Because I am here! I'll have you return my friend to me, you fiend" His body produced a massive wave of air, turning his form into a blue blur upon passing the chopper
Whatever happened caused Yuki's jaw to drop, All Might just appeared beside them, the chopper exploding in the air as it crashed back down to the roof. In his hands was the Professor, unharmed say for the wounds he already sustained. "He really is the best, huh, so did he just leave them to die in that fire oooor...?" A question she'd rather not answer
"Everything will be okay," Tuning back in, hearing those words wasn't as blissful as Yuki would've hoped, she was still... well, she actually felt fine. Looking down at her arms she watched as the infection slowly turned red, and her thoughts weren't so muddy with scenes of blood and guts
"Yuki, your body's okay!" Hearing Izuku's cheery voice drew all eyes to the girl whose body slowly became less vibrant with white cracks. "But if Ravage is still alive he-"
'Simple, the virus was converting my mind into a proxy for Ravage's mindset, so myself, Akio, and Viral would have become his puppets so-to-speak' She closed her fists then revealed another note. 'I then realized that I too had that ability, it was what Ravage's own virus was based on'
"Consume. Enhance. Replicate." Izuku breathed to her confirming nod
She then flicked his nose, 'Not to worry your pretty little head, I've got control thanks to this' She then procured the small USB device Howard gave her. 'A man visiting the island handed me his incomplete work, it was software designed to adapt to any virus and eliminate it, so, I infused it to SIVA and reactivated the old program, thereby giving me the power to rewrite the malicious malware down to its core programming, effectively purging all the damage C.E.R did to me, to summarize, I'm healing ten times faster, suckas ;)!' She held up two peace signs with fireworks in her eyes
"That's amazing...!" Melissa gaped
David smiled slightly at this, knowing his friend's students were okay, then he couldn't bear to face them again. "I'm so sorry, all of you," They looked to the Professor, "It's my fault-"
*CRASH!*
A large, silver pillar smashed into All Might, tearing him away from David as wires pulled him back, binding him close to the fires. "All Might!" Izuku bellowed, then they saw the attacker through the flames, his mask sparking with red glass falling from the left eye.
"Papa!" "Professor!"
"I heard Sam loud and clear, though my contractor informed me as well that All Might's power is fading," Red Eye glowered at the lot, the white code streaming down his body, infecting the ground and everything around him with just a touch. "I may have gone against my contractor's wishes, but if I can slaughter All Might and Azuru while procuring the Professor that should be enough!"
He stepped toward their group, pillars, and amalgamations of machines gathering behind him like an infestation. "With this nanotechnology, my Quirk is no longer impeded by age, and its strength has risen to greater heights!" He put his hand forward. "I'll start by crushing you-"
"ROOOOAAAARRR!" An unbearably loud roar tore through the foundations, a pair of cobalt jaws clamping shut around Red Eye's gut as the vomit-inducing snap of his spine could be heard as a large arm pulled that segment of the roof down with a large, crooked tail sweeping the flames, burrowing back into the Tower, spreading the virus across half of the floor
Warning | Ravage's biomass is ongoing a metamorphosis | The virus and nanotech are merging
"Oh crap, seems I'm too late," Viral magically appeared next to All Might, grunting as the virus continued to consume his form, everything but his eye crossed with a sickening infection. "Ravage is finally going to become the very thing he's imitated for centuries, that's what Kovik wanted, a real calamity through technology injected into DNA."
"Just what is it he imitated all this time? And what about the virus, won't that cause you to go crazy too?" Izuku inquired, helping Melissa move away from the unstable ground as they heard All Might cough, vapor rising from his shoulders. "All Might..."
"To answer," Viral put up his finger. "Well, first, I don't have the desire to tear your collarbones out so no need to worry, Nightmares are literally made of negative emotions and dark elements so a little bloodlust is hardly concerning, though I can't say the same for all of you bar Yuki." He pointed to their feet
Under their soles the white virus had spread to their shoes, Melissa's feet have been in direct contact. "If I don't kill him the virus will continue to spread to the whole island, and in Akio's body too. Ah, right, what he was going to turn into, it's called-" The hole burst with metal and debris, a volcanic-like eruption as the dark figure rose from the firey pit
A massive, black horn swept through the cloud, the right horn broken, severely warped, splitting into two smaller horns across dark blue scales stained with dust and blood. The monster possessed a pair of tuck-like fangs and a large, spiny neck frill. The tail ended in a heavy, studded club, the left point shorter and splintered. The legs were stocky and wide and the upper body was broad with thick, muscular wings. Its beady red eyes glazed with bloody fury if its roar wasn't already a cascade of rage for anything it gazed upon, the team its newest target.
Viral shuttered, "The Massacre Demon. Bloodbath Diablos."
"You really don't know when to give up, do you!?" All Might challenged, bending low with his arms braced as he tore away from the team
"Wait, you - dammit, All Might!" Viral snapped but it was too late, he had taken off without warning.
"Texas...!" He readied his left arm. Ravage brought its right forward, throwing it high to guard its face. "Smash!" The wind and kinetic force pulverized the ground under them, but All Might didn't even break through, merely snapping a few scales across the broad arm. "What!?"
"All Might?" Izuku and Yuki gaped
Much as Viral hated to say it, sitting down as his own stamina felt tapped out after fighting up dozens of floors. "Hate to say it, but he can't win alone, not against a Nightmare this strong..."
With a backhand the arm threw All Might away, his mass growing from a whopping twenty-eight meters to thirty, and then came the putrid smell of blood, that was when they realized why, say for Viral who slit his eye, concentrating. The red vapor rising from his hide was his own blood, and the vibrant, cherry red lines beating like a heartbeat across his back and wings were his veins, the blood within boiling to inhuman temperatures.
"Dave, what on earth have you made?" All Might sighed, diving back from a massive swipe of the right arm, followed by the left and a lunge of the horn, forcing the Symbol into defense as the tail grazed his chest, the hot wind blowing apart the roof's floor right from under the group of spectators
Izuku rushed in and caught Melissa while Yuki helped Viral move out of the way of the uprooted ground, trying her best to ignore the stench of blood. Looking back, Yuki's heart was beating as she landed. "All Might, he's already well and truly past his limit due to the trap," He was barely able to hold back Ravage's tail as it pushed down on All Might's arms, blood vomited from his mouth as he coughed. "He can't beat him like this."
The tail rose back again, slamming down on his arms over-and-over, leaving little to no room for him to move in time as the roof was torn to pieces under the force of the attacks. Ravage's roars made it harder to concentrate too, pounding in all their ears. All Might was shaking, his body couldn't keep up.
The tail threw itself down, knocking All Might back as he saw the beast turn and pivot on its right foot, the direction of the wind changing to pull toward Ravage who lowered his head, lunging with enough force to pull a fraction of the roof with his torrent. Seeing this and the immobile mentor, Izuku screamed as Yuki squeezed her eyes shut.
"All Might!" "No!"
Boiling blood and heat snapped the opposite way, rapidly freezing the air as ice ensnared Ravage and his head, causing it to wail in discomfort under the ice. This was followed by a series of blasts emanating from the side of the tower.
"Go to hell!" Bakugo screamed, erupting the ice and blasting Ravage with fire and ice shards that split skin and cracked a few scales, tossing him back. Bakugo winced as he felt his muscle fibers strain and cry out from the overuse. "How can you let yourself get beat by such a lame final boss!? Hurry up and take him down!"
"What he said, All Might!" Kyoka appeared from behind one of the many deformed walls of rubble, her fists connecting to the disorientated Ravage as his ears split with an unbearably high pitched wail of a heartbeat, followed by a current of lightning straight after that forced his form to burrow back through the underside of the roof to escape, his tail almost catching the two if Iida didn't sweep in as a blue comet to pull them back to safety
"I got you both!" Iida declared, Kyoka giving a wink and Kaminari a shaky thumb
"Thank you, all of you," All Might panted, rubbing his mouth clean. The ground under him trembling.
"Iida, everyone!" Izuku smiled for once in this hellish situation, Yuki's eyes sparkling with hope as she cupped her hands close to her chest
"Hey, Iida, let's knock this monster off this island!" Kirishima hardened his resolve and body, Iida readying himself for another hit-and-run tactic
"Yaoyorozu, take care of things back here!" Iida ordered, charging forward with Kirishima as Yuki regained her strength and pulled away from Viral, he himself grinning with a nod to her
SIVA | Enhance | Fifty Percent
"SIVA. Augment. Shock Absorbers!" Her arms picked up some metal and reconfigured the material to her arms, regaining her extra appendages while they too gained the same augment
Ravage burst from the ground, spiraling through the air as the hot, evaporated blood gathered around its scales. Seeing this, Yuki kicked up a massive chunk of debris toward Iida and Kirishima, the two saw this and moved in to place it before everyone, All Might finally beginning to stand once more, his muscles locking and his strength reinvigorated.
"Seeing my students so motivated, I can't allow myself to held back by something as foolish as a limit!" He too ran to their aid, pulling more large chunks to barricade those standing back and recovering. As Ravage descended like a drill, his horns tore across the roof, sending waves of metal and stone through the air as a searing heat pushed against their wall, almost tearing it down with the force applied. "The stude-" A red blur flew past them
Yuki leapt high, bringing her foot up vertically to smash through the first boulder, using the splitting debris she lunged for another, dividing it with her left following through with a roundhouse to the next. She zipped like a scarlet star across the sky, tearing apart the debris as Todoroki erected large shelves of ice for her to land on, some of his spires catching the remaining rubble for Yuki to pulverize to dust. Beside her, Bakugo saw her cup her hands, landing on her palms as she threw him forward, tearing apart the last wave of debris in their path.
"I have to push past my boundaries and go beyond!" All Might, with one, powerful strike, tore down the wall, the metal slamming into Ravage which was followed by a fist to the side, causing the beast to slide to the left. When Ravage turned his tail swiped low, only for All Might to block with both arms braced, the attack deflected and left him wide open. "It's time to be, Plus Ultra!"
Another frontal assault broke through the smoke, All Might reached forward and caught the head between the horns as he wrestled with the monster, he threw a punch to the forehead, tossing it back as the tail threw up a large volley of debris for All Might to tear down in a single strike. Ravage dived back, his arms tearing up the ground while the tail batted the many jagged scars from their roots, meshes of materials flying toward All Might.
Several collided in the air, the Symbol steamrolling through while he kept his body straight, skating alongside more as it was thrown by, bringing his arms into a cross. "Carolina... Smash!" A bright, silver star etched itself between him and the tail, only now he broke through, albeit as the force threw him back, the tail's tip was snapped.
Ravage didn't give in, his left arm swiping down to clash against All Might's right hook, then came his left and Ravage's right. Ravage flew back, the wind barely a breeze for All Might who powered through, launching off many jagged protrusions created during the attack, avoiding the tail as it tore massive, metal boulders to intercept the Symbol barreling toward him.
"Prepare yourself, Villain!" Declaring his triumph he threw his final punch, it mere inches from Ravage as it pressed its right claw to the ground, ensnaring All Might with hundreds of wires and cords, stringing up the symbol between two twisted spines of metal that grew from the wreckage. "Nice trick but I-" The same claw reached out and snagged to his throat with two talons, the wires taut against the Symbol's arms and legs
"PrEpArE? fOr WhAt? YoUr DeMiSe?" The gargled, cackle of Ravage's and Red Eye's meshed voices spoke up, the gleaming eyes staring back with wide glee at All Might's struggle, his talons hooking tighter around his skin. "I lIkE tHaT!"
Reaching with the left, Ravage hooked his claws around All Might's left side, and he clenched hard, hearing something surge in his nerves. "Graaaaaaah!" All Might cried out in agony as his injury was tormented
"All Might- gah!" Izuku seized up, clutching his left shoulder as Yuki herself felt the results of her overexertion run through her body, coughing up some leftover white gunk and blood. "Yuki and that villain's attacks from before, I must have torn my arm's muscle fibers using twenty percent."
"Dammit!" Bakugo snarled as many pillars rose from the roof, slamming into the ground and tearing apart what little remained as solid ground.
Viral scoffed, grinding his teeth as he tried to stand, "Ravage hadn't lost anything, devouring Red Eye's soul had given him his Quirk over metal, it took some time, but-" He looked to the now ensnared Symbol of Peace. "-he has all the power he needs to kill us, fantastic."
"I wIlL dEvOuR tHiS iSlAnD, aLl Of YoUr PoWeR!" He leaned closer, his jagged eyes stretching with bloodlust. "I hElPeD kOvIk, RuInEd ShIeLd. OnE fOr AlL wIlL bE mInE!" Last, he licked his fangs. "WhErE's YoUr SmIlE nOw?"
All Might lost it, tearing his fist out of the wiring as Ravage broke into hysterics, "NOOO!" The force of a downward strike bobbed All Might backward in the wires, another pillar striking his injury, then came eight more, impacting All Might from every angle as he was buried alive in scrap and stone
Izuku and Yuki barely felt their hearts beat. "ALL MIGHT, NO!" His students cried out from afar. Viral and somewhere within his mind, Akio closed their eyes in shame
"Please don't do this...!" Melissa begged, but Ravage roared violently, his veins bulging with molten blood as he raised his wings to the pillars, conjuring a final two to intersect from the corners, crossing through the massive of machinery and metal, thereby impaling the Symbol of Peace within. "Uncle Might, NO!"
It was as if the world turned black, a strobe of emerald and ruby stretching over the abyss. Yuki pressed her feet against Izuku's, launching him at the mass of steel. "Detriot... Smash!" His fist at one-hundred percent tore down the wall, blinding all in a massive cloud of dust that even Ravage couldn't see through.
"No. No. NO!" Ravage was going berserk in the background, ripping and tearing at the world in search of the missing individuals
As both fell from the sky, Yuki rushed in and grabbed her mentor with Izuku tumbling to the ground beside them. Yuki pressed her arms to a sheet of metal atop them, throwing it aside as she stumbled on her feet, she was at her limit but that didn't matter, even as she coughed up blood.
"Young Midoriya, Azuru, your bodies can't handle this it's too reckless," Neither listened to him, sitting up with one smiling dumbly and the other pulling back their mask to smile back, blood dripping down her chin
"Yeah but-" Izuku held his smile. "-It's a hero's job to save those in need, no matter what, right?"
'And even when they're beaten and broken, even as their bodies tell them to give in, so long as there's one person in need of saving, then their fight isn't over yet - Isn't that what you taught me?' Yuki declared, punching All Might's shoulder weakly, sticking her tongue out
"You never give in," Viral stumbled into view, kicking aside a few stones as he dusted his hands off. "Even if the world is against you."
All Might paused, a loss for words when he let out a chuckle, grinning down at his students. "Hahahaha, you're right, looks like I'm in quite a bind without you two," Just as she remembered it, his hands reached out to them both, only now, she knew it was for her to help him. Izuku felt no different than All Might, neither stood on a different ground, together, both would fight together, "Will you lend me your aid, Young heroes?"
"Yes, Sir." 'Like you had to ask'
"Count me and my annoying Host in too," Viral patted All Might's back. "Someone's gotta tear out that lunatic's soul."
All four took their stand side-by-side. Yuki kicked things back up to fifty percent, feeling her bones groan as she ignored it. Izuku glanced at his gauntlet, bracing his fist and bringing his strength up to fifteen percent, a faint tug on his body but nothing overly dangerous. Viral let what remnants of his magic flow through his arms and legs, circles enchanting across his limbs as well as his tail.
"Let's go!" All Might declared
"Right!" "Right!" |Confirmed|
Through the smoke and debris, Ravage tore up more of the metal and earth, gathering it all into jagged serpents and projectiles for his broken body to fling into the masses. "YoUr'Re NoThInG! BuRn! MaIm! I'lL kIlL yOu AlL!" His words were lost within an ear-splitting scream that sent forth many of the attacks in random directions in front of him
"You're the one who's nothing!" Bakugo's arm muscles twitched and snapped, but he let loose one final, massive eruption from his palms, tearing down the line of fire from reaching any of them
Debris rained from the sky, Viral using his magic to grasp many of the chunks and hurl them back at Ravage, his form barreling through the smoke as his horn divided the four, a line of walls coming down behind him.
Todoroki saw this and channeled his ice into a massive upsurge of ice. "I won't let you!" The shelf towered over the roof, cutting off the attack as Ravage flew up high, bringing himself down in a nosedive of boiling hot blood that scorched the land, keeping the four at bay while their bodies shimmered with an orange glow.
"Heat resistance, idiot," Viral chuffed, slipping backward as Ravage gave chase, allowing the metal he bent with his claws to flail toward the heroes as he took care of his old ally who remained at a fair distance
The trio leapt up onto one of the curved beams, All Might smashed through one and evaded the others as his feet glided across the ground, bringing his whole body back for an earth-shattering right hook, decimating a large mass of metal before him, the chunk erupting into flames. To his far left Yuki weaved her way through the wires, slicing them to ribbons with a bladed polearm, swinging and flowing through the cords with elegant footing and handstands to evade the crushing pillars from above, her hands and legs ricocheting off the surfaces as she ascended, slingshotting herself through the masses.
For Izuku he felt the ground behind him pull apart under Ravage's control, peeling back the foundations of the tower as he kept clocking in at a higher speed than ever before, the very wind pressure generated under him forcing his body to soar. Seeing two pillars join together he propped his left foot outward, burrowing through the length until the force shattered the obstruction.
Across the roof, Viral dove back as the horn plunged toward his throat, both sets of claws ringing while crossed with the rough bony protrusion. Even as the groan of his bones resonated like a terrible chorus in his head he kept up the strained defense, his almost prismatic magic circles beginning to dilute with every second that ticked.
"End of the line, Ravage," Viral vowed, twisting his arms downward, diverting the horn from skewering him as he plunged both sets of claws between the scales lining Ravage's boiling mug, the hot, coppery-steam made Viral wish to vomit but he held strong, driving his right leg back on its toes, a bright, cherry-red light overtaking the digits.
A sudden, horizontal kick of flames to the jaw shook Ravage, the orange ring of flames more than saving Viral's thighs from the threat of the deformed pair of horns. Landing on all fours Viral dove upward, many shades of red enveloping the sky above him as a sharp ax-kick barreled in from above, Yuki's strike deforming the ground under them considerably as she converted some of the metal to pierce Ravage's ankles.
Viral pulled back alongside Yuki, both unable to get in closer as walls of metal began to form, bridging a gap between the Nightmare as it flew into the air, throwing a large tsunami of metal toward the four, All Might and Izuku high above Yuki and Viral who dove at the wall with all their might.
"To overcome the crisis in front of you...!" All Might brought back his left hook, the air screaming
"Give everything you got...!" Izuku mirrored his mentor, the gauntlet bound tightly to his forearm, both with large smiles on their faces
"Keep smiling for the fearful world...!" Yuki charged up a large amount of SIVA's energy between her fingers, feeling the skin peeling back under the force but she kept smiling under the mask.
"And save people, no matter the cost...!" Viral stood with his shoulder against her's, their arms pressed together as a dark purple vortex swirled in his hand, red bolts webbed between his fingers, if he could smile any wider it would eclipse the moon
"That's what makes someone-!" All Might and Viral burned into their attack
"-A hero!" Izuku and Yuki felt their power surge beyond something as meager as a limit
"NoW yOu DiE!" Ravage sent forth a torrential wave that would tear the tower in half
"Double Detroit..." White light poured from their arms and across the knuckles, a large contrail curved behind their might
"Nightmare/Devil's..." Purple and red hissed across the ground, melting the surface under the pull and twist of heat
"SMASH!" "RAIN/RUIN!" The four impressive attacks created a halo that broke apart the clouds, shining brighter than the sun as a silver impression on the wall tore further through with the aid of two rings of crimson and violet that broke the wall down to molten slag, the very wasteland created by the battle swept clean from a monumental amount of air expelled from the attacks
Even with their combined power, Ravage still held on, though his ground was failing, bits and pieces of his body crumbling under the strain, the cracks of white reappearing, widening with every ounce of force applied against his might. Blood was spilled and clothing tore under the force, but neither side gave in, even as the wall finally came apart, the four forces piercing through.
Viral and Yuki fell backward, seeing the silver star high in the sky as it atomized any and everything in its path, Ravage wasn't able to stop them. "DEKUUUU!" Ochaco cheered
"TAKE HIM DOWN, GUYS!" Yuki prayed with all her will but it was Viral and Akio that voiced her words for her
"STOP HIM ALL MIGHT!" Kyoka, Yaomomo, and Kaminari joined in
"GO MIDORIYA!" Kaminari and Iida rooted for their friend
"DESTROY THIS GUY!" Todoroki and Bakugo thundered also
Between mentor and successor, the sparks of One For All joined together, shattering the spectrum across Izuku's arm as the gauntlet peeled apart, the hot and cold wind brushing past his face and through his air. "Let's go-!"
"-Beyond!" All Might merely put his fists on his hips as he flexed mid-flight
"PLUS ULTRAAAAA!" Both their fists joined as one with a piercing screech of their power as it shattered the visible light spectrum, crashing into Ravage's horn as he tried in vain to counter their attack, not even an inch of a struggle occurred as the light enveloped his form, burning away his form in a divine burst of pure color that turned completely white, a shooting star piercing his body in a flash
Many rings of sound and light brandished themselves across the sky, clearing the mountain of metal surrounding what was once the bellowing abomination as it was silenced for good. As the rubble fell away, David Shield could see beyond the dark, he saw his old friend, his idol fizzle away, replaced with a young boy with emerald hair, his fist held out toward the light and a smile on his face.
As the dawn of a new day pierced the clouds on the horizon, the cheering, and praise for victory stretched across the Tower as Viral slowly trudged through the wreckage, the virus finally flushed from his system as he slowed his steps to the struggled grunts pushing against a nearby wall of metal waste.
"There you are," Viral's voice traveled to the weakened Nightmare before him. His right leg reduced to a torn stump past the knee, his body leaking black mist weakly as the left hand crumbled to dust, Ravage tumbling to his knees while he grasped his chest, torn and left with a massive hole that wouldn't close. His face was stripped up the left side, blinding him in one eye as he chuckled dryly at Viral's presence
"Hehehe, I think I've finally run my course, buddy," He soon coughed, hacking up from a lack of lungs. "That's strange, how am I even coughing? I don't have lungs." Pushing up off the ground he raised his remaining claws to Viral. "I'm not done, I can still - s-s-still..." He gargled on his last word, Viral already stepped forward, grasping the flickering, red flame that bobbed in the hole.
Viral's narrowed eye soon lowered, unable to hold up any amount of scorn. "I am sorry it had to end this way." His grip on Ravage's soul became tighter as his old, dense ally rested his head against Viral's shoulder, chuckling
"It was... one hell of a fight... to die for..." His claw wrapped around Viral's shoulder, eyeing his old ally. "If you find Harrow... do me a solid... and kill him."
Viral breathed through his nose, patting Ravage's shoulder before pulling back sharply, tearing his soul away and crushing it between his fingers, consuming it and all the souls it harbored with a few, discharged embers. "Count on it, my friend," With that, Ravage fell back, his body returning to dust in the wind, leaving Viral without another ally once more.
"You still got me and Kyoka," Viral stood up, chuffing as he disappeared, allowing Akio control once more. "And now Yuki and Midoriya too!"
"...Yes, that I do."
As the others mulled over their victory with the slight absence of Viral and Akio; Izuku and Melissa found All Might standing by the Professor, both looking fine as Melissa covered her mouth a moment. "They're okay... I can't believe it," She wiped her tears, turning to - Her smile faded as Izuku raised a brow at her. "Deku, w-where's Yuki!?"
Panic soon overtook them both as they spun around to look down at all the destruction, upon turning his head, Izuku moved to start looking, only to stumble into someone as both fell over with a yelp, "Y-Yuki!" Beneath him, the beautiful girl smiled and winked as she rubbed her head with her left hand, the right smashed to pieces, leaving only a number of wires dangling as they slowly began to repair themselves. "I'm glad you're alright!"
Yuki puffed her cheeks a moment, pulled up into Izuku's embrace that still felt as warm as she could recall, though that did help in keeping her covered as Izuku blinked at the soft, warm feeling against his own chest. The poor teen looked down slightly to find her bare chest pressed against his as his face lit up with steam, eyes darting to just about any other point in his vision while pulling away. "I-I-I s-sorry Y-Yu-Yuki!" "I-I nearly saw... I felt her... what is wrong with me!?"
She just rolled her eyes even as her own blush spread across her cheeks, moving her arm to cover her chest as SIVA slowly worked to cover her now shirtless torso in fabric, though the amount of energy she overused caused this process to be slow. 'Sorry, SIVA's got his work cut out for him, I'm just glad when you bumped into me you didn't grope me' "Not that I - woah-woah-woah, burning that train of thought!" That alone increased her embarrassment to greater heights
"Are you okay Yuki?" Melissa didn't seem phased at all, kneeling down to inspect the several cuts and bruises dotting her friend's body
'Never better, well, I could be but again, not pushing my luck with SIVA, he's mean sometimes' She smiled, then something shocked her spinal cord
Watch it | Otherwise, I'll have you show the world your assets | I may have been a leader but I am not above shaming others
"You're a perv, but fine I yield," Yuki sighed
"Hey, guys," Yuki and Izuku turned to Melissa, seeing her smile warmly. "Thanks to all of you guys we were able to save the island, thank you." The couple looked between themselves, confused
"We did it together," Izuku replied, Yuki nodding her head rapidly. "After all, the only reason I made this far was that I had your 'Full-Gauntlet' on my arm," He closed his fist tightly. "Thanks so much for your help."
Melissa's smile soon returned, brushing a strand of her hair away. "We make a good team,"
Then Izuku's arm froze with guilt and shock, flexing out his fingers. "Ah, but I broke it, sorry about that!" Meanwhile, Yuki pinched her nose, shaking her head at how dumb his mood swings are, but again it was adorable to see all the same
Melissa giggled. "Don't worry about it."
"Dekuuuu~! Yukiiii~! Melissaaaa~!" Down far below, Ochaco was waving for them, the others all either jumping or yelling for them aside from Bakugo and Todoroki, though the latter did eye them both with his arms crossed
"Are you all okay!?" Iida inquired from afar, waving his arm like a well-oiled machine
"We're fine, All Might and the Professor are okay too!" Izuku yelled back, quickly shuffling over to keep Yuki's covered as she wore a sweet smile at his protectiveness, herself slowly materializing a shirt that finally cropped over her chest, she breathed happily at that
"What about you guys!?" Melissa called down
"We're good!" Ochaco answered back
"Alive anyway!" Iida's reply was more realistic
"Say, you guys see that dork, Akio, or Viral!?" Kyoka called back, with Yuki poking Izuku's shoulder as she pointed to the other end of the tower, seeing him strolling through, waving back at them
"He's fine, just on the other side of this pile!" Izuku relayed to Kyoka, seeing the rocker relax a little with Yaomomo hugging her
Moving in beside him, Yuki leaned up against Izuku side, feeling his hand slowly worm its fingers around hers as he smiled gently, feeling the softness of her head rest against his shoulder while the three of them turned to watch as the sun rose over the ocean's horizon, bathing them in the morning light.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? WE'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT!?" Hearing Akio's exclamation at the sight of the sunlight broke a boisterous laugh among the teens both atop the wreckage and down by the stairwell, seeing the form of the boy on his knees, fist risen to the sky. "CURSE THE YELLOW FACE!"
[Somewhere?]
Over the flash of many monitors, a large complex whirled and hummed with many machines as they flicked to streams of stale code and information that fed from I-Island before the security was completely rebooted, that alone fed them all the data they could obtain from the raid on the island.
One individual sat on a chair, fingers tapping away at keys with a worried hum. "Well, that couldn't have gone better..." He grimaced at the negative results of Ravage's evolution. "You sure wasting our one prototype on a Nightmare was wise? Just a suggestion since we had no conceivable way of telling how far down the rabbit hole we could've gone?"
Someone stood a mere meter behind the man at the desk, watching him push up his blackout glasses. "I mean, Azuru is still the only probable chance Project Chimera has, and that nanotech was the closest thing we had to replicate SIVA for Project Seige."
"I understand your concerns, this is why I am glad you are here," The man replied to his fellow scientist. "But now the Thief has her hands on the prototype we created and Professor David Shield's, both have been modified and adapted into SIVA as planned, now all we have to do is get close enough to extract it."
The one in the chair blinked, sitting upright, "Oh? Ooooh, I get your plan now, smart, use her to clear the imperfections, huh, no wonder Aksis trusted you with the science, I just made things that caused other things to no longer be existing things, kinda dull when I put it that way but you get the point," He turned back to his monitors, waving a hand. "I'll handle the rest, data is still promising."
"I trust you'll get results," The man stepped back into the darkness, heading down a catwalk. "You always do."
Sat on the edge of a bed were a number of photos taken recently, a semi-packed bag next to them. The first was of Izuku smiling alongside Yuki as fireworks went off in her eyes a fist rose to the sky, a festival game behind her having been beaten with Iida slumped over the stand with Ochaco patting his back assuringly.
The next showed Yuki winking with her finger over her lips to hush the camera as she took a picture of Kyoka and Akio on a stage, Kyoka singing proudly with an electric guitar in her hands alongside Akio who was singing boisterously, his shadow in the background watching with its arms crossed. The photo beside it was of two jacks lunging toward Yuki as she ran with a cheesy grin on her face, the fury in Kyoka's eyes chasing her with Akio laughing his ass off behind them.
Another was of Bakugo and Kirishima having an arm-wrestling contest, the next of Bakugo winning with an explosive finish. The third was the others all watching as Yuki effortlessly held both his and Kirishima's hands back without breaking a sweat, a few laughing as Bakugo yelled back at them.
Another group of pictures were of the whole of Class 1-A enjoying a barbecue with All Might, Yuki blushing nervously as Izuku fed her though from his own reddened embarrassment it was clearly neither of their ideas. The next was Yuki storming after Mina and Hagakure with a chair in her hands.
Finally, the last two were set above the rest. The first was of the whole class taking a group photo, each smiling or holding up a hand gesture, even Bakugo managed a small smirk. And the last was just of Yuki and Izuku, their hands together, both with bright smiles though Yuki had her eyes closed while leaning her head against Izuku's shoulder, her left, and his right fist-bumping in the middle, behind them was the dazzling city of I-Island.
To Be Continued in Season 3...
What a monumental task this was, five parts to cover this movie and it was actually alot of fun, especially when it came to mixing up the fight, though with some familiar elements from the movie, I mean, duh, of course, the Double-Detroit Smash was still gonna happen. I also didn't want to have Yuki take center stage, this was really a moment for everyone to have a chance in the spotlight.
Just for reference, Viral and Ravage, our My 'Nightmares' a race that I officially created outside of fanfiction media, just to make that clear and all that, hope the terms thrown around with them weren't too much, I tried to keep things simple and concise. Still, with that we can move on to Season 3 in a few weeks, still got lots of writing and resting to do and all that, over 10000 words for this, the biggest chapter yet! I really hope you enjoyed, appreciate the support as always, and seeya in the next season heroes!
