Trying to free his wrist which was stuck by Frieza's tail, Kirishima ordered.
" Let me go ! "
" Your wish is a command. " Frieza asserted, with a sadistic smile.
Immediately, Kirishima felt Frieza's grip loosen. Still, he didn't even have time to move, as Frieza's fist hit his abdomen. Vomiting saliva, the boy heard many cracks forming despite his armored skin.
Grabbing her head, Frieza then slammed it hard against the ground, shattering her incisors.
" Your strategy is to exhaust me thanks to your defense and your endurance? Well, then you see me having to use more of my power to get rid of you! Just like your friends, I'll show you a hell you can never forget. "
Then, seizing Kirishima's arm, he pulled it, before hitting it with his knee, pulverizing the framework of the member.
" AHHHHHHHHH ! " Kirishima yelled, feeling his arm break.
" And an arm. "
Then, kicking the boy in the face, Frieza made him fly until he hit a boulder. Falling to the ground, Kirishima continued to scream in pain, as her arm was broken.
Nonetheless, leaping through the air, Frieza ended up falling towards him and violently crushed his second arm under his foot, breaking it too.
" And two arms. "
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! "
" What is he doing ? " Kendo frightened.
" Kirishima has no attack that allows him to fight from a distance. " Ida affirmed. " If Frieza breaks his arms, he won't have a chance to attack. "
" That's what he wants. " Understood Giin. " Frieza intends to slowly torture Kirishima by preventing him from counterattacking or defending himself. "
Lifting his foot again, Frieza pretended to crush Kirishima's left leg. However, managing to gather his spirits, Kirishima covered his leg with a layer of metal. Overwhelming it , Frieza was unable to destroy it.
" Hum "? "
Despite his broken arms, Kirishima exerted light pressure on his elbows to stand up, and eventually jumped back to run away. Nevertheless, Frieza was already in front of him.
" Where do you think you are going ? "
Striking Kirishima's abdomen, the white alien used enough force to send Kirishima flying through the air. Still, gritting his teeth, the high school student managed to withstand the attack, while his armored skin was also covered with a metallic layer, making it twice as strong.
" This movement … " Ibara recognized him.
" Tetsutetsu! Kendo shouted.
Using the teigu of his rival and friend, Kirishima had managed to increase his defense enough to equal the offensive power. So, putting his feet on the ground, he cried out.
" Did you see that ? This is the power of Universe 12 ! Stop believing that we can't challenge you, just because you had fun torturing my friends! Even without my arms, I am able to defeat you. "
" Tsss! You say that, but in the end, from what I understand, you are forced to use the powers of one of your comrades to be able to have a force equal to mine! This strategy is proof that you are weak. "
" That's right . " Approved Kirishima, without the slightest shame. " Our team is weak and had no chance of winning ! We are weak ! And yet, if this allows us to save our universe, I do not see why it is stupid and know one thing. "
Fixing Frieza with rage, he cried.
" I would rather be a weak warrior who believes in justice, rather than an overpowered asshole tyrant like you who uses his strength only to do evil around him. "
" Justice! Justice! Justice! Haven't you had enough of repeating that word? Frankly, don't you understand that justice cannot always win over evil ? "
Staring at Kirishima, Frieza asserted.
" At the beginning, I only wanted to break your arms and legs! But, in the end, I rather want to break your entire skeleton. "
Suddenly disappearing, he found himself in front of the high school student and grabbed his hair. Then, hitting Kirishima's body several times, Frieza attacked him with force and precision, giving him dozens of punches.
Trying to withstand the attacks with his two protective skins, Kirishima ended up seeing several pieces shatter. Trying to strengthen his skin, the boy quickly noticed that Frieza's attacks were destroying a lot more skin than he could produce. And without his arms to protect his face, Kirishima quickly felt blood cover his vision. Finally, kicking him, Frieza knocked him to the ground again.
However, his tail immediately curled around the boy's neck, and forced him to stand up, while suffocating him. Having trouble breathing, Kirishima then screamed in pain, while Frieza attacked his back with DEATH BEAMs. Hearing his cries, the white alien laughed sadistically, as he gradually increased the power of his shots, reveling in seeing his attacks inflicting more damage on the boy.
" HOHOHOHO! It's not enough ! I will break your bones one by one. "
Then, throwing Kirishima into the air, Frieza flew to find herself in front of him, before starting to whirl around his body. Immediately he gave quick punches, which made Kirishima feel like he was being punched from all sides. Starting to lose consciousness, the boy slowly tightened his skin, allowing Frieza to do more damage to him.
" What ? It's already over ? "
Slamming the top of Kirishima's head, Frieza smashed him to the ground. Then, landing gracefully in front of the boy, he made him vomit blood.
" Oh, my poor boy! Do not worry ! I'll give you five seconds to rest a bit. "
" You… little… " Kirishima growled, trying to lift his face.
Nonetheless, he made the grave mistake of fixing Frieza's gaze. Immediately, appearing to be scared, Kriishima saw the sadism in the alien's gaze, as the latter took pleasure in creating his evil aura around him.
Like Ibara and Ida, Kirishima began to feel fear. Lots of fear. Getting punched in the face, the boy flew back. Nonetheless, as he flew over the pitch, Frieza appeared above him and crushed his chest under his foot, forcing him to crash into the pitch.
" ARRGGGGHHHH ! "
" What did you say already? That you weren't fighting on your own and that you would never give up the fight? Very interesting ! But, I think you're just starting to understand the difference between you and me. "
Aiming at one of Kirishima's eyes, Frieza created another beam whose attack pierced the boy's eye, destroying it.
" AHHHHHHHHHH ! " Kirishima shouted, yet unable to defend himself.
'' Are you really going to keep saying this kind of thing? Are you going to continue to be proud in front of your team when everyone understands that you lost a long time ago? Can't you see the fear in their eyes, as they see their friend being wiped out in front of their eyes ? "
Firing two more death beams, Frieza managed to pierce the high school student's chest. Still, gritting her teeth to keep from screaming, Kirishima managed to scream.
" I don't hear what you're saying! I wouldn't give up. "
" Yes ! Above all, do not give up! I still want to hear you scream and make you suffer in front of your friends! I want to show them how completely pathetic wanting to be a hero is! And then, that's not all. "
Staring at Martinu, Frieza saw her specter glow, as she seemed to be using it for some reason other than healing fighters.
" The angel of your universe is broadcasting the tournament across your universe, right? Which means that everyone you know is watching you get slaughtered. "
Indeed, finding themselves gathered in the courtyard of the AU, the other students of class A and B had been able to see the tournament from the beginning. Thanks to her powers, Martinu had created many giant screens that floated in the air, allowing the earthlings to see the fights. But while the start of the tournament had been quite advantageous for their teammates, each of them had started to lose hope, since Frieza had started to take pleasure in torturing their companions.
" Damn it, KIRISHIMA ! " Yelled Tetsutetsu. " What are you doing ? Hurry and fight back. "
" He can't. " Jirou retorted. " Frieza has slaughtered his entire skeleton! It's a miracle he's still alive. "
" That bastard! Come on, Bakugo! Midoriya! Don't let him win. " Mineta shouted, hopping while pretending to hit an invisible opponent.
However, the longer the tournament went on, the more each of them understood that the fight was already over for them.
For his part, being on the roof of the school, All Might clenched his fist, as he roared.
" Why ? Why am I just here watching children being tortured ? "
But the worst was surely the shocked state of the other inhabitants of the planet who, aware of what was happening, understood that their universe might be the next to disappear. Many were horrified as they saw Frieza having fun torturing their fighters. Others were already crying, understanding the obvious. And some prayed, while hoping to be able to go to paradise, despite the fact that the latter was also doomed to disappear.
Playing the role of commentator, Present Mic was yelling into a megaphone that allowed him to be heard across the planet.
" Dear spectators! It looks like Kirishima is in trouble! However, nothing says that all is lost! KIRISHIMA ARE COUNTING ON YOU ! "
Nonetheless, being behind him, Aizawa was seated, just watching the fight without saying anything.
" I will take pleasure in destroying you in front of your whole planet. " Assured Frieza.
Hitting Kirishima's face several times, the alien took pleasure in hearing the boys' teeth shatter, as did the bones in his skull. This time around, Kirishima was unable to use his Quirk and was being attacked without being able to defend himself. With each punch, fragments of what was left of his protective skin fell to the ground, accompanied by drops of blood that quickly covered Frieza's hands.
Seeing his friend being tortured, Ida felt his body shake, knowing how much of a demon Frieza was. Beside him, no longer able to watch the fight, Ibara had grasped her head in her hands, and was trembling with fear. This was the power of Frieza. The fear that his mere presence engendered had broken the will of the duo and he was doing the same with Kirishima.
Even if, by some miracle, Universe 12 won the tournament, none of the three fighters could fight again without experiencing that dread they felt when facing Frieza.
For his part, starting to pass out, Kirishima felt his eyesight blur, before finally seeing only darkness around him. Yet even in this dark space, he saw several ghostly figures take on silhouette form, while each of them displayed their sadistic grins.
" Do you understand ? You are weak ? "
" Good can never overcome evil. "
" Your universe will be destroyed because of your weakness. "
" Shut… Shut up. " Kirishima ordered. " I don't want to hear you anymore. "
Nonetheless, he heard the ghostly beings laughing the same way Frieza did.
" OHOHOHOHOHOHO ! "
" SHUT UP ! " Kirishima yelled, unable to cover his ears.
Feeling only pain, the boy had finally preferred to give up.
'' Guys ! Sorry! I am so sorry! But this guy… I could never… I couldn't…! ''
'' DON'T GIVE UP, IDIOT! ''
Opening one eye, Kirishima saw all the ghostly figures disappear, to be replaced by that of a boy with evil eyes.
" Tetsutetsu ! "
" Asshole ! Do you dare to give up? Where has your manhood gone ? "
" She disappeared ... for a long time. "
" Bullshit! What's your problem ? Just because this guy got the upper hand on you, you decide to give up ? I forbid it. "
Pointing his finger at himself, he roared.
" I gave you my alter! And it's as if I had entrusted my soul to you! I fight by your side! So I forbid you to give up! I refuse that you make me lose against this asshole. "
To punch Kirishima, he declared.
" I know you can do it! No ! I know we can beat this guy! Because our will to want to save our universe is stronger than anything! And she certainly much stronger than her will to destroy us! Do you sincerely think about giving up and let everyone watching us lose hope and start mourning their future deaths ? "
Screaming, he screamed.
" WINS AGAINST FRIEZA ! "
Immediately opening his eyes, Kirishima saw Frieza's fist hit him again. Yet moving her broken arm, Kirishima managed to grab it.
" What ? " Frieza wondered.
Then, before reacting, Kirishima's fist hit his face, causing him to fly back, much to everyone's surprise.
Having hardened his skin again with Tetsutetsu's power, Kirishima using so much energy that he vomited blood from it. Still, putting himself in an attacking position, he asserted.
" I am not fighting alone! I fight with Tetsutetsu. "
" You… " Roared Frieza, getting up.
At that moment, he was surprised to see the ghostly figure of Tetsutetsu, above Kirishima.
" What is that ? "
" Together, we are invincible ! Take care, Frieza ! "
Then, running towards the alien, Kirishima tried to punch him.
" Impossible. " Cried Agu, getting up! Kirishima's arms are broken. " How can he move them? He couldn't even stand. "
" Muscles. " Momo understood, seeing Kirishima only use Tetsutetsu's Quirk.
" What ? "
" Kirishima is using his power to harden her muscle fibers! Thus, his muscles became hard and his power managed to make them retain some flexibility. ! He is able to use them to replace his broken bones, just like an invertebrate would. "
Dodging a punch from Kirishima, Frieza then punched him in the face. Feeling to take a step back, the boy nevertheless managed to stand, and let out a cry before taking a step forward. Then, striking Frieza's abdomen, he made him take his eyes out of his sockets.
" I would never give up, do you understand that? The only thing that would stop me from fighting is death. "
" What do you hope to do with a body as destroyed as yours. "
" My body is destroyed but not my will. "
Continuing to punch Frieza's abdomen, Kirishima forced him to back away.
" A true warrior always fights with honor and for the sole purpose of winning while remaining loyal! And even if you destroy each of my bones into small pieces, my spirit and determination will still be there to lift me up! This is how I fight! This is how Tetsutetsu fights! And that's how universe 12 fights. "
Seeing Kirishima chain attacks on Frieza, Present Mic had grown excited.
" Good news, everyone! It seems Kirishima is showing all of us his true potential! Now he attacks his opponent with rage! It is unheard . "
" Yes ! Continued ! " Encouraged Ashido.
" Kick hard, man. " Satou adds.
" Continue and beat it. " Shishida shouted.
Smiling again, Tetsutetsu asserted.
" That is the will of a real guy. "
Grabbing Frieza's tail, Kirishima spun around before slamming Frieza hard against the ground. Roaring in rage, Frieza immediately directed his hand towards the boy and created a ki blast. However, with a flick of his arm, Kirishima threw the attack aside, before hardening his fist to the max with his power and that of his teammate.
" Sorry! But I couldn't! I love my life way too much for that. "
Preparing to attempt another attack, Frieza saw Kirishima's fist appear in front of his face.
" PLUS ULTRA… "
An impact sound was immediately heard, as Kirishima's fist hit Frieza's face and made him pull back.
" LAST WILL'S FIST ! "
Immediately, everyone in Universe 12 saw Frieza's body hovering over the field before flying into the void. Seeing this, many opened their mouths wide, as did Beerus. Then, finally, when they saw Frieza's body about to end up outside the arena, a lot of people screamed.
" HE DID IT ! FRIEZA IS CONQUERED ! "
However, it was at this moment that Frieza opened his eyes, before regaining his balance. Putting his feet on the ground, he stopped short, a few inches from the empty space. Seeing this, Kirishima stood still. Not because he was afraid of his opponent's performance, but simply because he was unable to move.
Using only his muscles to move had destroyed them completely, and even the use of his power made them unable to function again. For his part, staring at the viewers of Universe 12, Frieza gazes at the specter of Martinu before giving a hand salute, ensuring that the viewers of Universe 12 understand that he was still on the pitch.
" I'm here. "
Then, looking at Kirshima, Frieza asserted.
" You really thought you were going to defeat me, when I still haven't used my ultimate form? You are really stupid! But, however, I want to reward your will. "
Suddenly concentrating, Frieza made his muscles bigger and doubled in size, while projecting an even more powerful aura.
" 100% ! "
Then, rushing towards Kirishima, he punched him in the stomach which pulverized her protective skin without any problem. Unable to retaliate, Kirishima's body flew back. Still, gripping his leg, Frieza stopped him. Nonetheless, squeezing the boy's leg with both hands, the white alien broke it.
Then letting go of the boy, while being certain that he will not be able to escape, Frieza flew into the air, before creating many ki-blasts. Hitting the pitch, his attacks shook the arena, as they slammed into the boy's body.
Receiving the attacks, the boy cried out in agony.
Hearing this, Bakugo immediately used his explosives to propel himself towards Frieza. However, Android 18 positioned herself in front of him again.
" I already told you that you're not going anywhere. "
Trying to give him a point, the young woman was surprised to see Bakugo bend down to avoid it, before directing his hand towards her face.
Immediately, he created an explosive spiral that exploded upon touching Android 18's face, causing her to recoil. Immediately Bakugo rushed towards Frieza.
" Stop it, asshole. "
Nonetheless, a kick stopped him, while Android 17 declared.
" Sorry for your friend! But I'm not going to let you save him. "
" Motherfucker ! "
" Destroy ! Destroy ! I will destroy you. "
Having returned to Kirishima, Frieza punched him hard, which further damaged his body.
" There will be nothing left of you. " Said Frieza. " Your will, your determination, your warrior spirit… I will destroy them all. "
Finally, grabbing Kirishima's head, he made it hit the ground so hard that the stone cracked. Finally, ceasing to move, Kirishima's body remained on the ground.
Seeing this, Frieza then turned to Universe 12, while asserting.
" Do you have that, you, the universe of heroes? You say you can conquer evil and yet you are so cowardly that you send children to fight for your life! It's so pathetic. "
Then, staring at Giin, he declared.
" Nevertheless, it is your god, the most pathetic being! He is so stupid that he has been unable to find a team to save his universe. "
" What did you say ? " Giin roared.
" You understood me very well. " Said Frieza. " You are pathetic, just like the rest of your universe! Frankly, you want the truth! Whether your universe was there or not, it wouldn't make any difference! And you know why ? Because even if your universe would disappear, it is so insignificant that no one would realize it was gone. "
Immediately, the viewers of Universe 12 recoiled in fear and dread, as a purple aura appeared around Giin. Feeling the rage overwhelm him, the god was letting his anger dominate him. Immediately the other gods turned to him.
" Hey, what are you doing ? " Wanted to know Kitela.
" He's not going all the same…? " Sidra frightened.
" Frieza ... that idiot. " Growled Bereus, getting up to intervene.
" Giin-san, please sit down. " Cried the high priest.
Nonetheless, continuing to stare at Frieza with rage, the god saw him show her a provocative smile, while declaring.
" Yes ! It is preferable that you remain seated! After all, it would be a shame for you to come and fight against me and let your comrades see you get beaten! Because that's what you are! A loser ! "
Immediately, a purple sphere appeared in Giin's hand.
" You… I… "
Simply smiling, Frieza glanced at the two Zenos, who stared at Giin. As soon as the latter was going to launch his attack, the two little gods would destroy him and his universe. And this fact would show that good had lost against evil.
Yet, as Giin was about to launch his attack, something made him stop. At first surprised, Frieza ends up turning around. Standing again, Kirishima moaned in pain, as her legs creaked, as they struggled to support her weight. Yet despite his injuries, broken bones and exploded muscles, Kirishima was in perfect fighting position.
Seeing him do it, Frieza questioned him.
" Why did you get up ? "
" For ... my ... universe ... "
This time, Frieza stopped smiling. No matter what he did, this boy kept getting up and bringing hope to his teammates. So he decided to stop playing and be done with him.
Raising her two index fingers, Frieza created a first orange sphere, above her right index finger, before letting her left index finger do the same.
" I will destroy you. "
Creating two energy spheres one meter in diameter, Frieza hurled them towards Kirishima. Standing still, the boy stood on his feet, ready to take both attacks. Yet in an instant, his feet left the ground as the energetic spheres touched his abdomen. Using her powers, Frieza raised his hand in the air and immediately, both of her attacks soared skyward, taking Kirishima's body with them.
" KIRISHIMMMMMAAAAAAA ! " Cried his companions, knowing what Frieza was going to do.
" FRIEZA! STOP ! " Goku shouted.
" FRIEZA ! " Beerus cried, afraid he would kill the boy.
Too late, closing her hand, Frieza laughed, seeing her two spheres explode in the sky. Standing still, all of the people in Universe 12 had their gazes lifted upward. Then, finally, they looked down as they saw Kirishima's body fall and crash into Frieza's feet.
This time he was completely unable to get up.
" It's over. " Shoto said simply.
" No, it's not over. " Retorted Frieza.
Wrapping his tail around Kirishima's neck again, Frieza declared.
" I have not finished destroying his mind. "
Clenching his fists he resumed punching Kirishima's body. However, the boy was so unconscious that he couldn't even react. It was as if Frieza was hitting a corpse.
" It's horrible ! "
" But you're going to stop, asshole ?
" Kirishima is unable to retaliate! He will die. "
Seeing Frieza continue, Tokoyami let Dark Shadow surround him.
" Damn it! We're gonna have to stop him. "
Agreeing with him, his companions pretended to leave the stands to save their friend. Nonetheless, teleporting in front of them, the high priest asserted.
" Univers 12, should I remind you that you are totally forbidden to intervene ? "
" Is that what is important to you? " Wanted to know Momo. " Kirishima is going to be killed! Stop the fight. "
" As long as Frieza does not kill your friend, he is not at fault. " The High Priest simply said, watching Frieza go after Kirishima.
" OHOHOHOHO ! " Giggles Frieza, preparing to pierce the boy's body with a destructive beam. " You will see what I will do with your mind. "
However, at that moment, an ice spear struck the back of his head, immobilizing him. Turning slowly, Frieza wanted to know.
" What do you want ? "
Sitting on a rock, Esdeath was watching Frieza fight, while simply asserting.
" Sorry to bother you ! But, you see, I would especially not want you to be eliminated by killing this boy! In addition, the more power you retain, the more interesting our fight will be. "
Hearing this, Ro immediately began to cry.
" Idiot ! What are you doing ? You can't beat a guy like him. "
Seeing Esdeath however display a big confident smile, Frieza ends up imitating him. Then, throwing Kirishima back, like a garbage bag, Frieza dropped him toward the void.
Appearing in the stands the guy from Kirishima appeared in front of his companions.
" Kirishima… "
" So… So… rry ! "
Barely able to breathe, the boy felt his strength leaving him. Then, finally, his head rolled to the side. The beating of Frieza had ended up killing him.
Seeing this, many people froze.
" Kirishima ? "
" Oye, Kirishima ? "
" He killed him ? Frieza killed him ! "
Quickly realizing what was going on, Shin stammered.
" Frieza killed him ? "
Falling to his knees, Beerus declared.
" It's finish ! "
Still, barely glancing at the boy's corpse, the high priest asserted.
" Kirishima-san is eliminated! Resume the fight. "
