Itsumi had managed to survive. Right now, that did feel like some great luck, especially considering that she had also managed to save Piper. When the pillar of fire had hit them, the bulk of it had impacted against Dragon's body, and Itsumi had taken the chance to jump off his back along with Piper, using her Quirk to stop their fall.

Then Piper had extended his combat stick, that had extended, slamming it into the ground and allowing them to stop the fall further.

She panted as they touched the ground, looking around. The storm was gone, torn apart by the pillar of fire. The garden itself was burning, the closest part of the terrain basically scorched to dust, while everything else was on fire and adding to the heat she was feeling.

"Did… Did the other make it?" A voice asked to her right. Piper was on one knee, using the stick to hold himself up, now that it was back to its usual length. Itsumi looked around, and then spotted a large crater. Looking down into it, she saw a familiar figure in a trench coat resting at the bottom of the crater.

"Zombie!" Itsumi rushed down the crater, and found the man already getting up. "Are you ok?"

"I've been better." The man muttered, "Luckily, I only turned back after I hit the ground." He looked up at Piper, who was slowly coming down the crater, "Did you move the bookmark?"

"Uh, actually, I think the book landed somewhere around here…"

"Ah, then it's fine." Zombie pushed himself back up, "It can't be destroyed by fire, I know that much. The bookmark probably fell out on impact and… Something wrong?"

"Y-Your arm…" Itsumi pointed to his left arm. Zombie turned to find the limb bent ninety degress down, hanging off purely muscle and skin.

"I'm so glad I don't feel pain right now…" He said calmly, "Does any of you know how to sew?"

They both shook their head, and he sighed, "Well, guess it's staying like this for a bit then."

"You know, I meant to ask, can you even die?"

"I'm a zombie." He tapped his head with the healthy hand, "I don't have to tell you where to hit for a kill, right?"

Itsumi nodded. Yeah, that made sense she supposed. She looked around. "What about the others?"

"Here." Spider-Man landed next to them, along with Dekiru. The teen looked tired, but still capable of fighting. "Dekiru asked to take a break from the Fusion. We will probably go back to it later, but no reason to waste it now."

"Sorry…" He sighed, before staring at Zombie. "Uh, your arm…"

"Right. Spider-Man, do you think you can…"

Spider-Man nodded, webbing the arm in a sort of sticky cast that kept the two halves attached. Itsumi watched the fingers fidget lightly. They clearly didn't work, but they were already fixing up slightly, even if, according to Zombie, it would still probably take longer than this fight to recover the arm's full use.

"What about the others?" Piper asked, and Spider-Man grimaced.

Dekiru shook his head, "We saw Horizon crash land somewhere on the western side of the battlefield, and Superior rushed there. No idea about Nine, he probably got flung away by the fire explosion."

"Speaking of which." Spider-Man said, "What's the Stormlord up to? Because right now if he attacks us, we are all dead."

They all froze at once and turned to stare at the sky. The Stormlord was still standing, but no attack was coming. He seemed to be panting and smiling, his body covered in sweat and what seemed to be vapor surrounding him. "He is recuperating from the attack too." Zombie summarized, "There has to be some hefty side-effect for using that much power all at once. He knows we can't just get back up and rush back in, so he is using the time to get back in force."

"That is true." A voice said in their communicator. They all took a double take, before the voice continued. "Superior here, I borrowed Kaminari's communicator. Horizon has finished crying over his high school science fair project getting wrecked – Doc's words, not mine, though he doesn't seem to understand the difference – and the God of Thunder is… Alive, but it's not pretty. Out of the fight for good. Good news is that we also found Nine and he is picking back up. Badly injured, but nothing crippling."

For Nine, he didn't say. Itsumi sighed in relief. No one had died, at least. That had to count for something. She looked up, but the Stormlord wasn't jumping in yet. Then again, he could move at any moment.

"We need to move fast." Superior said over the communicator, "He is probably going to come at us at any moment. So listen up, here is a plan to take him down."

-x-

"Will you die already?!" Arsenal shouted, shooting another bullet right through the skull of the Greed. The bullet exploded inside, a horrible outgrowing of flesh emerging in lieu of the expected blood, but there was no apparent damage. Whatever that thing was doing, it made even explosive bullets completely useless.

She dodged out of the way of another rain of hands and shoot a rain of bullets using past users' Quirks, the explosive bullets slamming into the hand and making them explode. They retreated within the large arm, but there was no damage to the Greed.

"Shooting the hands does nothing." Revenant told he over her earpiece, "Keep the distance."

Arsenal wanted to argue that she could tell, but bit her lip and jumped back, building up more distance. She shouldn't have been that close to begin with, normally, but that was the maximum distance she could get to fire a proper headshot. Any further, and the other eyes would spot the shot in advance and create a wall of metal hands to block it.

'Guess it got Tetsutetsu, or one of his ancestors.' She thought, grimacing.

Then she watched the only reason they were still alive. A strong howl echoed from the streets below, and then Chojuro Kon's whole body slammed in the Greed's belly, One for All coursing through his body and sending the thing stagger back. The Greed grabbed on nearby building, steadying itself and launching a rain of hands and mouths toward Kon, but before it could a flying form slammed into its side. The Green Scar's dual kick completely dislodged the Greed off the buildings, and the creature rolled through a large mansion before regaining its… footing, even if really the mass of hands protruding from its body were hardly proper hands.

Yet again, two direct hits from One for All.

And yet again, they were already regenerating. The Greed was just too big for the attack to do anything that strong.

Kaina pulled more of her hair and breathed, steadying her aim. One second to measure the wind direction and adjust her aim, and she fired. The explosive bullet barged through the monster's eye and exploded, crushing it into a pulp. Unfortunately, what would have been a crippling wound for normal people was two minutes tops of healing for the Greed, and meanwhile it had thousands of other eyes to use.

The Greed still didn't seem to like the feeling. With a violent, beastly roar, it slammed all six normal arms into the ground, the enormous limbs digging deep. 'Is he bracing? Or…'

Danger Sense rang, and she jumped on instinct. A moment later, hundreds of arms and mouths, some covered in webs of metals and other burning, freezing or crackling with electricity emerged from the ground below her. She used Air Walk to push herself higher, but they kept coming, even when she started shooting them.

One hand closed around her leg.

-x-

"This is bad, Kaina." Izuku, the Vestige of the previous holder of One for All, said. He stood next to her, wearing the same costume he had worn when she had… She shook her head. Not now. She looked up and went pale.

Standing in front of Arsenal was a multitude. Mezo Shoji stood in the center, but behind him loomed the shadow of a monstrous All for One, standing several meters tall, the Vestiges of other Quirks seeming to ripple in and out of his shadow. "Take One for All…" The shadow said.

Shoji roared, and his hands extended forward, each trying to grasp Arsenal. She fired her Quirk, and at the same time from behind her other Quirks rained down on the arms. "It's not enough…" Izuku's eyes were wide and scared, "Kaina… It's not enough…"

-x-

"Arsenal! Arsenal!" Revenant slammed a fist down, staring at the scene. The arms were cocooning around Kaina, almost trying to absorb her and her One for All in one move. "Fuck! Canary…"

"I can do it, but I doubt it's gonna work more than once, should I start?" He prepared to sing, but Clockwork jumped out of the window, extending Blackwhip to project himself forward and adding One for All for added speed.

He reached Arsenal, and grabbed her hand.

Everything went white.

-x-

A burst of light smashed through the darkness, and Arsenal watched in confusion as more Vestiges appeared. Daigoro Banjo and his Blackwhip started to strangle One for All, working in tandem with her version of the man. En's smoke created a cover for Nana Shimura to burst in and start to wrestle out of the way several hands, followed by Shinomori, who just nodded to her own Vestige of the man before the two started to moving in tandem, slapping aside the hands that tried to grab them.

Then another Izuku landed next to her and her Vestige.

"Clockwork?!" They both asked.

"Uh. Well this is new…" He blinked, "Wait, I have a full body?!"

"Focus." The other Izuku kicked a group of hands out of the way, "So, you are me?"

"And you are me." Clockwork replied, "One and the same really. Not sure how I got here though."

"We think we can answer." The two Yoichis said, stepping forward, "Remember how One for All has been resonating since we have started meeting other version of ourselves? It seems All for One acted as a catalyst activating the full power of this place. Then, I assume, Clockwork grabbed onto Nagant, his own One for All activated feeling All for One's power, and he was also dragged in this same place."

"In short, One for All keeps surprising us." The other Yoichi said.

Clockwork blinked, before turning to the other version of himself.

There were two now.

"What?!"

"Sup, Izzzuku here." The other… other Izuku said. God this was getting confusing. "Clockwork. Vestige." He continued, pointing to them, "I think I can break you free, all right?"

Clockwork nodded, and Izzzuku dove forward, slamming into the All for One shadow and shoulder checking it. Suddenly, the pull seemed to vanish all at once.

"Better." Vestige Izuku said, turning to clockwork. He pulled down his metal mask and smiled, "Thanks for the help. Tsutsumi will need more, but I'm sure we will provide." He winked, "That's what Midoriyas do, right?"

And a bright light enveloped them all.

-x-

Arsenal panted as she opened her eyes, pulled out from a retreating mass of hands and mouths by Clockwork's Blackwhip, before landing on a roof several hundred meters from the fight.

"Let's… Let's not do it again." Clockwork said, shaking. He looked pale.

"Agreed- Agh!" She suddenly started to feel pain all over her body, and looking down, she stared at her leg, limp and bent in a completely unnatural way. She fell to the ground.

"Broken leg." Clockwork said, "Badly broken."

"Thank you, doc. I couldn't have figured it out without your input." She said through gritted teeth, "Any experience with handling broken bones?"

"… Keep running on adrenaline?"

"Forget I asked." She huffed between bouts of pain. With a strong pull powered by just a bit of One for All, she righted her leg. She hadn't fixed it – that would have taken too long – but at least now it wasn't bent in a completely different direction. She looked around. "Take me to the top of that tower." She pointed to a small watchtower nearby, one of the many built throughout the city. Clockwork nodded, and after carefully using Blackwhip to hold her leg in position and Arsenal up, he jumped. They reached quickly the top of the tower, a flat roof, and she nodded. "From here I can see the battlefield well enough."

Izuku nodded, and she glanced at him. He seemed unsure of what to do next. "Thanks for earlier. I'd have probably lost One for All if you hadn't helped."

"I really didn't know that would happen…"

She snorted, "Typical of an Izuku. Jump in to save people first, questions later." She smiled, "It's the second time I get saved by one."

A new voice chuckled, "Yeah, you two really owe my one, uh?" They turned to see Izzzuku. The dream being seemed tired, which was odd considering he could choose how to appear, meaning he looked like this on purpose. "Just don't expect me to do it again."

"Why?"

"People with Vestiges have messy minds." He grimaced, "People who have tortured Vestiges are really messy."

"How are the others?"

"It went after Chimera and broke his arm, but he managed to keep him out of his mind. The Green Scar dodged the attack entirely and…" He paused as the green comet slammed into the Greed, pushing it back, "Well, that."

"Good. How are Revenant and Canary?"

"They say we want to weaken it a little more. We only have one shot at this, after all."

Kaina nodded, and ignoring the pain of her leg transformed her arm. "Hold me up, Clockwork." She aimed, "I have a giant to kill."

-x-

Superior jumped. The array of drums followed him, never moving too far. As he pulled himself against the tower, landing on the walls, he studied the opponent. According to Nine, he was starting to use his wind powers more, but mostly to keep himself out of the way. Most likely a limit to his power output. He had gone for a team kill, and now they weren't dead.

"Yet." Doc's voice interjected, "Don't get complacent. He missed you only thanks to the Spider-Sense. If he is smart, he won't let that happen again."

Superior nodded. They had been lucky. The God of Thunder was out of the fight, but it could have gone a lot worse. If the Spider-Sense hadn't told him of the incoming fire pillar, he would have been caught unaware. He had still been too slow to help the others.

"There wasn't anything you could have done to prevent this overall positive outcome. If there was, I'd have pointed it out."

Superior sighed, then looked at the drums. "Are you sure they will work?" He asked in the communicator.

"They are under Epsi's control. It's the best I can do with the tech I have." Horizon replied, earning a scoff from his friendly neighborhood mad scientist.

'To think we'd have to settle for that."

Superior shook his head, "Come on Doc, he is good for his age. That hoverboard is impressive."

"I will admit that much. The technology is admirable. Nothing I have never seen before, from what I can gather, but quite exceptional. Unfortunately, it's accompanied by a confrontational, angry personality that lacks in respect."

Izuku held back the thought of who else fit that description.

"Either way, go, Midoriya."

"Aye aye, sir." He jumped off the building and webbed the Stormlord's leg. The man seemed almost incredulous that anyone would try that, and that gave Superior exactly the time he needed to pull him closer. And then Inasa appeared before him, pushed so fast by the wind that he had reached face to face with Superior.

"Let's dance then!" The man shouted, punching with a burning fist. Superior's Spider-Sense made him dodge on instinct, before he threw more of his web right on the Stormlord's face. Enraged, the flying man turned around to punch him, and instead hit one of the drums. The drum rolled back in mid air before it discharged a lightning, the electric attack slamming into the Stormlord. The man stumbled back – an odd sight since he was still floating – and then grinned.

"Now I'm getting fired up." He declared, and started attacking again. Each time, a drum threw itself in the way, absorbing the blow, flying back and rushing in. Superior was glad he wasn't alone in trying to do this, because he was fairly sure that running this many required a superhuman control.

Luckily, Epsi was superhuman in that regard. The drums moved like a… Well, a well-oiled machine, each dashing in to block the blow, shooting back out a lightning, and then firing back. The weather stated to change, and Inasa seemed to take notice of it too, since he started activating Weather Control once again. Unfortunately for him, Nine was still alive. The Stormlord snarled.

"So I didn't kill anyone, uh?" The Stormlord asked, "I was half expecting you all to rush me at once, if that's the case."

"Sorry, we aren't dumb." Superior said, and that was when a flying tiger… monkey… snake… Well, when whatever Zombie had turned into seemingly emerged from a black cloud and slammed its large tiger limbs, complete with sharp claws, in the man's chest. The Stormlord clearly activated Hardening in time, as the claws ripped clothes to shred but didn't manage to break skin.

On the monster's back was Itsumi, who grinned before she fired her own attack. Then the monster jumped back and disappeared within the cloud it had created. The attacks once again slammed against Hardening, before the man pushed back and used the wind to force back further Superior. He then opened his hand, flames forming on each finger as it launched a Hell Spider. Spidey dodged it, jumping between two of the flaming whips, and hoped the others would do the same.

The Stormlord prepared to attack again. When a large wooden pole appeared from below them and slammed straight into his chin. He recoiled, even having used Hardening, and that was what Superior was waiting for.

Chipping away the armor.

-x-

Spider-Dekiru launched himself forward, three sets of fists pulling back, One for All coursing through his body. This was exhilarating. The speed and the power combined were almost too much even for him, and he had to wonder how Dekiru was faring, Quirk or no Quirk to dampen the effect. With an almost maniac grin, Spider-Dekiru did what Spider-Man had always wanted to do, since he found out about One for All.

"Queens…" He pushed three fists back.

"SMASH!" He shouted, the three One for All charged fists hitting the skin covered by Hardening and completely shattering it, giving him an opening straight to the Stormlord's face. He dodged another Hell Spider, before bringing up three right hooks, each hitting a different area of the opponent's chin and throat, forcing the Stormlord back.

Spider-Dekiru knew it wasn't enough, so instead he used two arms to extend his webbing to the tower behind the Stormlord, and with two more he grabbed his shoulder, before he punched again with the final pair. The Stormlord staggered in mid-air, and that was what Spider-Dekiru had been waiting for. Dragging both of them toward the tower, they slammed into it, the Stormlord taking the blunt of the blow.

Spider-Dekiru bent to the side, dodging the Hell Spider that would have chopped off his head in a clean blow, and instead only singed his hair. The Stormlord summoned a thunder down, but the bolt deviated in midair, striking the stone of the tower's wall.

And then he punched again, Hardening softening the blow, but far from blocking it.

"Come on, this isn't enough!" He shouted.

"I know." Spider-Dekiru said with a grin, "We have to use our head to beat you."

Before the Stormlord could respond, the wall behind him exploded as a sheep rammed through it, powered by One for All, and impacted on his back, blood sprouting from her mouth. For good measure, the horned Izuku on the back of the sheep brought down his head and slammed his forehead on the man's cranium, the impact resonating like a bell.

"Good hit Merino!" the Spider-Man shouted.

Merino grinned, even as both him and Argali started to fall.

And then he turned a bright gold and sprouted wing from his back. Man, his Chrysomallos Quirk, a Transformation Vestige, was weird but useful. Then again, Spider-Dekiru was the fusion of two Izukus, so he didn't feel like judging.

But the Stormlord wasn't done, grinning madly and opening his wings. The feathers burst into flames and hardened all at once, and Spider-Dekiru and the others had just a moment to realize what that meant before the burning projectiles flew toward them, splintering stones and ground as they dodged.

"Whoa there, you should relax, you know?" Spider-Dekiru said, jumping around to avoid the rain of attacks. His enhanced Spider-Sense was the only thing keeping him from turning into a pincushion. The fire was the least dangerous parts of those feathers, thinking about it.

Unless…

"Stay away from them!" Superior shouted just as Spider-Dekiru's Spider-Sense kicked in again, making him jump back as the wind fanned the various flames into a single inferno. The fire burst toward the six-armed Spider-Man, who felt two of his right arms burn. He gasped in pain as his suit caught fire but didn't stop. Instead, he took a larger swing, using it to gain momentum and leap again toward the Stormlord.

The man raised his hand with a grin, lightning rushing towards him…

And then the lightning changed direction, aimed directly down instead of toward its supposed target. They both glanced down, to see Horizon hold up Piper's staff and the lightning rushing toward him, a grin on his face even as the lightning struck.

They were both surprised, but Spider-Dekiru groaned. "If that kid died I will kill him." He declared, before pushing back all arms. "But first, guess our school motto wins here. Plus Ultra…" His fist shot forward one after another, "Manhattan Smash!"

A rain of punches impacted the Stormlord, unrelenting, unstoppable, unavoidable. Each blow sunk deep in his body, crashing through hardening and making him gasp in pain. He tried to shoot an Hellspider, but two fists slammed into his arm and sent the attack off course, cutting the top of one of the spires cleanly through.

And then Merino, bleeding through several burning wounds, slammed into the Stormlord's side. The man grinned even in his state.

"Yes. Yes, yes, yes! More! Let's go beyond!"

And the wind picked up again.

"Prominence…"

"I don't think so." A lightning shot cleanly through him, and the burning man fell from the sky. Spidey quickly grabbed onto Merino, the flying sheep taking him down to the ground.

There, Nine stood, severely wounded. Spider-Dekiru hadn't even noticed, but the earlier rain of hardened, burning feathers had been aimed at all of them, and it seemed they had shot through Nine's barrier. Or maybe, he hadn't had the time to use it.

"Shit…" He said, kicking the man in the head for good measure even as he was down. "Hope that was enough." He whispered.

And then he lost consciousness, falling right next to the Stormlord. Horizon had fallen not too far.

-x-

Canary took a deep breath. Revenant was gone, Chimera and the Green Scar were fighting out there, Clockwork was guarding Arsenal, Izzzuku was… somewhere.

All that was left was singing.

Their plan to defeat Izmird required him to have plenty of juice, so he had saved up as much as possible against Sagawa, but then Jack had decided to make that useless.

Well, overall that was a net gain, thanks to Paladin. Still, he had to save as much as possible. But without this song, they were boned, so there wasn't a real choice.

This took him back quite a bit. The first time he had solved a battle this way was… Muscular, during the Summer Camp. Man, that took him back. He sighed. Against Shigaraki… well, it had partially worked before, but it didn't solve the fight. It helped though, at least preventing Tomura from killing everyone around him.

It would help here too.

~Human – Christina Perry~

He started singing as he rushed forward, each word flowing out of his mouth perfectly in sink with the music in his hears. The gigantic opponent took note of course, but Izuku couldn't risk moving too far from it. He had to be in the range of his natural voice, and who knew how far that was with the chaos all around.

"But I'm only human!" He shouted, the song piercing through the sound of battle.

Hands started rushing towards him, but the Green Scar and Chimera bot dove in to punch and slash them aside. He ignored it and kept singing and running, Siren landing on his head and chirping to give him… He hoped encouragement.

"And I crash and I break down! Your words in my head, knives in my heart…"

A mouth as big as he was emerged from the ground and tried to devour him whole, but a Blackwhip from the Green Scar latched on him and pulled him back just in time.

"'Cause I'm only human…"

The Greed started to shrink. No, it wasn't just starting, it was losing size fast. It was working.

But it also meant it would now focus on him.

Human, the song that cancelled Quirks, like Professor Aizawa's sight, kept going, and the Greed knew it was his doing.

"I can do it… I can do it… I'll get through it…" He sang as the Greed, five meters tall and rapidly shrinking, extended an enormous amount of hands, eyes and mouths. The eyes and mouths stopped, but the hands kept going, growing out of each other like some disgusting eldritch abomination.

He remembered that sight. It was Tomura.

"I'm only human…"

The Quirk was gone, he realized, but that didn't mean much if, like Tomura had been, the Greed was also modified like Shigaraki had been.

But it now meant they had a shot at killing it. So long as he kept singing, ignoring the chaos around him as The Green Scar and Chimera slammed, punched, slashed and sliced the arms around them.

"'Cause I'm only human…"

-x-

"He is out of Quirks." Revenant said, "I'm going in."

"I'm ready too. Just open a path."

Revenant nodded, and jumped out of the window. A mass of hands immediately rushed towards him, despite coming from the blind spot of his opponent. He recalled what he had been explained earlier. Right now, the Greed couldn't use his Quirks, but as they expected, that didn't mean he was defenseless.

He was like a Noumu, still capable of fighting even without his main Quirks, though less effectively.

'What a fucking coincidence. I guess Sugoh doesn't have the monopoly on human experiments.' He thought, and sliced down.

Artorias' sword cut its way through the Greed's hands mass with far too much ease, slicing them in half on the way down, until he landed and started to run.

The sword wasn't his first choice. It was heavier than what he liked, requiring a lot more momentum to do enough damage. But his back-up swords, the ones Deku had made for him, were not close enough to retrieve them, so he would have to do.

He dashed below a larger mass of hands, swung cutting it in half, and crossed path with the Green Scar.

"You sure you can open that path?"

Revenant smiled. "One way to find out." He replied, and smashed his sword forward, bisecting the incoming hands. The Green Scar for his part kicked a few more out of the way, cartwheeled over another arm, and then started to slide down a mass of hand.

"Show off…" Revenant kept running, and finally he saw the real body. Shoji stared at him, glaring with angry, cruel eyes. They didn't even look like his classmate's. He was instinctively reminded of the Ceaseless Discharge, the tortured, burning soul in the fiery depths of the Demon Ruins. The same eyes that seemed to be begging for release. Revenant wondered if his eyes were showing the same pity he saw in some people's when they looked at the Survivor.

He grimaced and swung his blade in time to meet a mass of hands and slice it twice.

"Where is your Quirk…" The man hissed, "Give it to me to me to me to me to me."

"Sorry, can't give what I don't have." Revenant replied, and started to attack. Cut, chop, bisect. Open the path, focus his attention on yourself. Those were the only things in Revenant's mind. As blood splashed around him with every cut, only to be followed by more flesh, he kept going. He didn't feel pain from the hits that did manage to get past his defense, and he didn't feel the fatigue from swinging the sword. He was aware of his surroundings, in the measure that was necessary to not be blindsided.

He need to carve his way past. The Green Scar would take care of opening the way behind the carved opening, but it would be useless if he didn't do his part. He knew that, alone, he would have already been crushed. But half the attention of the Greed was on Canary and his song, and the Green Scar was more than making up for the rest. For the Greed, he was a nuisance, someone that was going to be crushed by his gigantified weight the moment the music stopped.

The sword cracked, more and more nicks covering the blade as it made its way through flesh and bone.

Then he saw it, the opening he needed, the perfect position. He cut to his left, a mass of flesh falling to the ground, and then dove low. Shoji's eyes focused on him, and he grinned.

A perfect, uninterrupted opening.

-x-

Kaina didn't miss it.

She leaned against Clockwork, the bullet already in the chamber, and she fired the single bullet.

-x-

The Green Scar saw the bullet coming and one of the hand clusters moving in the way, but he extended Blackwhip and wrestled it out of the way just as the bullet flew past them.

-x-

Revenant, low on the ground, saw the instant of realization in the Greed's eye. He didn't have his Quirks right now. No regeneration to come back.

But he was already attacking Canary, far away, or Revenant, low on the ground.

Before he could raise his arms, the bullet hit.

And exploded.

Revenant and Chimera clearly had the same thought, because just as Artorias' sword carved the body in two halves horizontally, a clawed hand entered the chest from the back, grasping for the heart.

For a moment, the world stilled.

Then Revenant felt the shift in the air. The flesh suddenly pulling back all at once within the body of the greed, a mass of flesh that seemed to pull the breath out of his lungs.

And then it expanded again.

"Run!"

Hands burst out one final time, the death throes of a monstrous abomination. They slammed into Revenant, feeling predatory even as they just pushed him through, grasping and grabbing for something they couldn't find, but still searching like it would save their life.

He slammed through a wall, another, another.

And then everything went dark.

This is I think the first chapter with every single Guest that is taking part in the raid. Well, except Kitsune and Captain Kamino, they got knocked out earlier.
Sigh.

Two down, one final boss to go. Man this arc has been entertaining to write. The aftermath is gonna be fun, but first we need to push through the final portion of it. One final enemy.

The Stormlord and the Greed were both fucking strong. It took three One for All users, a Fusion, Nine, Horizon making himself a makeshift lightning rod and a Nue to take him down.

The Greed meanwhile was tougher. Three One for All users, sure, but all of them experienced, one more inexperienced, and Revenant, Izzzuku and Canary. This was quite the battle, even with Canary pulling off a Monoma and getting rid of the massive Quirk stash the Greed had under control. You might notice this is heavily based on the ongoing battle with Shigaraki. Was the Greed stronger than Shiggy is without his Quirk, given the age and experience? Or was the fact he was clearly far less in control more important?
Guess we can't know.

What will Izmird do now? What will be the end of the fantasy arc?
Find out soon! See you next week!
