Shouto grits his teeth as he fires off another blast of ice, creating a large ice barrier. The villain screeches, as if crazed, and his teeth— those goddamn teeth, pierces through his ice again.

"Todoroki! Bakugou!" An amplified voice cuts through the air, hoarse and desperate. " MOVE!"

He looks up.

It's Akemi. She's running their way, supporting Midoriya as she sprinted towards them with golden energy coiling around her. The energy around her looks unstable, and is sparking up in arches of electricity from time to time.

Wait. It's not only them. A dark hulking figure screeches and looms over them all, large claws utterly demolishing the trees around them.

"I NEED SPACE, SO GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Akemi screeches, as Midoriya leaves her side and runs like his life is on the line, "OUT!"

He glanced up at Dark Shadow, the villain, then grabs Bakugou and jumps.

They land behind the trees, rolling into a stop. Midoriya followed, but Akemi didn't. Shouto whirls back around, eyes darting around to find the girl. "AKEMI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

There was no answer aside from a loud scream. The trees all around them shrivels up and dies, and Shouto creates an ice barrier, ready for utter destruction.

But he didn't expect this.

An explosion of light and fire blows up right between the villain and Tokoyami, flooding the whole area with light and for a moment, bright enough that the sky looks almost like day. Bolts of lightning blew out and the ground shook, whips of golden ribbon lashes out and he can hear Dark Shadow and the villain's screeches. A shockwave, followed by a whirlwind blows out and the trees around them bends backwards and began to fall apart. His ice melts rapidly and all a sudden, the light fades and there was silence.

"Holly..." Midoriya gulps, "I knew that her quirk is powerful, but..."

This is just too much. Shouto gulps as he sees his ice barrier, it's mostly melted and as he reaches out to touch it, it crumbles into cracked shards of melting ice. He looks back up, and saw that Akemi's kneeling in the middle of the destruction, panting with sweat dripping down her face.

"I'm out." She gasped out, falling over to her side. Shouto rushes forwards and catches her, supporting the girl , "I'm totally out, forget it. I am not going to use my quirk anymore tonight, no more." She groaned and tried to push herself up, "Enough, I'm turning it off..."

The sparking energy around her dies, and Akemi seems to sob with relief. Shouto helps the girl up, and looks around.

The villain is thrown at least fifty feet away, limp and singed on the ground, Tokoyami's slumped against a tree- well whatever's left of it anyway- in the corner, eyes wide as he stared at Akemi. The trees closest to them are dead and bending awkwardly away from the blast point, the earth is burnt and cracked, and now the soil looks more like fine, dry sand than anything.

"Sorry." Akemi muttered as she looked around, "I hadn't let loose for ages..."

"That's... A lot of power." Shouto remarked, stunned at the destruction around them.

"Told you, a weed is about three million volts, look at how many trees I just killed." She gestured around them, "If I did this in the middle of the forest, I would've, well, levered the entire forest." She straightens up and glanced towards Midoriya, "so, Izu, can you go on with your plan now?"

Akemi's quirk is confusing. It constantly draws in energy non-stop and stores it, and while Akemi tried to keep the stats balanced she usually keeps it rather high so her quirk wouldn't go haywire like a starving bear. What just happened here is that her stats are abnormally high, her quirk is unstable, and she'd let all of her control go to cause an explosion of power.

Imagine playing tug of war with a machine. Akemi could usually control how hard she pulls at it and balance the strength out, in the same time control where the mid point is. But when she is exhausted, she is barely able to keep it balanced out. What happened just now is that she'd let go of the rope, then turned it off.

Onto the comment(s)!
