AN: SORRY FOR BEING LATE. MY FATHER HAD AN ACCIDENT AND HIS RIGHT KNEE FRACTURED. NEEDED A SURGERY AND THANKFULLY HE'S AT A RECOVERY PHASE. I HOPE I WASN'T TOO LATE. AND I WROTE HALF OF THE CHAPTER BEFORE I WAS AT HOSPITAL AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE LAST BALF WOULD BE ANY GOOD. I HOPE IT'S ALRIGHT.
An angel fell. Demons rules the planet earth, ruining lives, happiness, peace. Hell punished those who deserves it, but up at here on earth, the once who perished is the ones who yet have to achieve their dreams and their lives taken away forcefully by the likes the so called villains. But not just villains. Every human beings are worse. Does everything in their power to save their own selfish reason, even if they have to ruin someone else's wellbeing. That's why he was here in the first place. Get rid of those who takes too much freedom on their hands that lets themselves convince that, murdering, stealing, hurting is all a forgivable and simple act. The laws aren't much of a help. Just investigates cases and comes up with pointless conclusions or simply sweep the case under the rug never to be surfaced again. The point of being the rider is to prevent all that. Mostly he succeeded. Mostly.
Deku felt a familiar negativity outside the city when Kodachi informed him. That night Kodachi flew past the borders and eventually tracked down one of Deku' targets. An entire organization actually. The black lotus. Izuku already eliminated some of them and their bases. So the one Kodachi found was the last of them in Tokyo or probably the entire japan. They were at it again. Human trafficking, drug transportation, pedophile and many more. Probably the worst part of the group was them. None of the other bases had blood everywhere. Many passed before his arrival. They died long ago except another seventy or so victims. So he was there. Slaughtered every single one of them and opened a portal for the victims who finally could reunite with their families. However the outside world didn't know it was him who is the savior, not the government. But he didn't care much. Fame always attracts the false heroes. He ain't one of them.
Even though he didn't wait around for pointless things and rode back to his place. But things already happened. He was too late. Even Kodachi was far away to notice it. Deku was all of sudden felt the pain in his chest as if something is happening that's going to upset him. Sure he knows what or why is it happening. Innocents are in danger. That's right, it took him a while to realise who those innocents are because how far he is. When he's far, he could only feel their aura slightly get big. That's it. His sensing abilities works differently with various circumstances. Here the thing was, he's far from the destination. Only he could have known. When he traveled in his hellcycle at the speed that cannot be matched by any other vehicles. That's when the distance shrinks, exposing the reality of who's the innocents he's about to save. U.A students and teachers. But out of all of them three of them stands out the most. Realisation hit him. The identity of the three who' in danger become clear. Izumi, Kota and... Eri.
The child he protected and trusted her safety with the them and she's now in danger. Deku could feel the fear she's feeling. Helpless but tried to protect the other child Kota. Thought of her alone made his mind command his hellcycle to go faster. Eri would be hurt. Also others who' there in that camp. But the danger is about to take away everything from them.
His mind was stressed. The one who's attacking her was a dangerous villain. A sick bastard finds pleasure in destroying others live. The same rat that killed Kota' parents. Deep down, Deku was panicking and concerned. First time in his life as the Rider he's afraid. Afraid of losing someone who in short time, started to trust him and made him feel like someone important. Eri is the person who is like a precious jewel appeared in his life and didn't hate him for what he is. That same child is... she's... he can't imagine that something like that.
Izuku then sensed the aura of the three weakened. One of them almost got transperant. Izumi and Kota survived. They're in pain but they are breathing. Hurt but alive. A relief that was. But the said relief short lived. Izuku' eyes widened when sensing one of them had just a string of aura. Soon realising the low energy he's sensing belongs to none other than...Eri. It's like the life of her almost drained. Her soul stuck between life and death. It's just a matter of moments before it's too late.
That's when Deku realised he failed her. He told her he'll protect her no matter what. He said that she will no longer be in pain. Told that not even overhaul' Ghost could haunt her.But now? He failed for the first time as the Rider. No. He failed to be a big brother Eri always feel safe around. Even though they're not related or the fact that he's a dead man, Izuku sees her as a little sister everyone would want. But when it comes the time where he keeps the promises, he ain't there in the first place.
That's why his mind and heart was unstable when he came through the portal, sending Muscular out of the way by crashing his bike on to the giant. He was watching in pure agony as the child he swore to protect was not even moving. Eri was in Izumi' warm and shaking embrace, and the glow around her started to fade. His eyes are widened and focused on nothing but Eri' face and her closed eyes. The angel who's a sunshine is about to be consumed by the darkness. Her heartbeat is not as lively like it used to be. It's slowly stopping and first time after his death, Izuku felt like crying. But he couldn't.
"E..Eri?" He subconsciously said her name, not believing it's all true. It's like a worst nightmare comes to life, devouring everything he cares for. After his death, he didn't personally had anything or anyone to care for. His family was in the past and they only knew a useless pathetic Deku. But when he came back only few ever tried to know him personally even though some didn't know his identity. But one of the caring ones are Eri herself. Now seeing someone like that hurts. Even though others see you as a emotionless monster.
Slowly and shakily he got off his bike and moving forward really slowly. Every steps seem heavy at this point. Even after he he did all that, his eyes never left her. He didn't even looks at Kota and Izumi even though the three of them was glued together. Izuku wanted to crouch next to them and hold Eri in his arms and make sure she's gonna be alright. He so badly wanted Eri know that he will bring her back. He wants to pat her head to lessen her agony and do something about her wounds. And he so badly want to apologize for what happened. He let the heroes take care of her and this happened. But truth to be told he can't blame them, because he was late too.
Izuku wanted to be there for her when she wakes up. But, there's something else. He halted almost instantly when he heard the rubble move. Izuku stood there facing Izumi and both kids while his mind was raging inside as he heard the rubble move. He shouldn't forget why Eri' life is holding on to a thread. His muscles worked automatically and his fist clenched make his finger crack. Izuku' seeing all red thinking of the rat who hurted Eri. Deep down, hellfire came to life and Izuku started to breath in heavy breathes and before what he gotta do, he needs to make sure of something.
Izumi noticed the aura around the Rider change. She could only feel...death. She witnessed his green pained eyes slowly give into an intense glow that radiated a dangerous and threatening one and she saw hell in those eyes. His breathing became audible and scary and she saw black smoke rising from his body Little by little.
Sure he looked terrifying but it wasn't as scary when she noticed that his anger wasn't directed towards her. Izumi didn't even noticed her tears stopped, because it's all too shocking for her and confusing on the top. Even though his anger was evident in his aura which screamed chaos, she didn't failed to notice the riders eyes glowed more and out of nowhere bunch of green fire chains came out of the ground starling her and Kota. The rider didn't speak or made a sound as the chains took a shape of the circle and soon the swish sound could be heard before the chains created a portal on top of the three. Izumi couldn't even move as the portal came down teleporting the three of them inside the camp building.
Izuku stood and watched as his portal slowly teleporting them. His eyes glowed and teeth clenched more and more as little by little Eri and other two vanished. It seems Eri' face was keeping his emotions together, but when she's gone, the berserker in him got unleashed. If the Rider himself losing his control means, the end is near.
Few distance away, Muscular cleared all debris weighing him down with just standing up with a menacing smirk. "So, you're the puny savior appeared out of nowhere huh? Well it's another unlisted name to slaughter. NOW PRE-" That was the last thing came out of his mouth.
Things was moving in slow motion as he recalled what's going on. He's flying. 'What happened?' he thought. Midair he remembered seeing the Rider has his back on him. Then he only saw a blur. Up until now he did only knew that he's flying, but the next second there was a huge shockwave that disintegrated every thing on it's path. He clearly miss the part where the half of the top of the cave is gone as if it never was there. The said shockwave did that. The shockwave was created when something hit his stomach so hard. Everything was still a slow motion for Muscular. Then he was throwing up blood midair and a gargled and loud agonized scream left his mouth. That something which hit him was just blur but eventually he saw it was a black smokey fist.
The slow motion fastened up as he felt the rubble ground hit his back. The world spins in his vision as he rolled all the way across god knows how forsaken far away. His eyes rolled back in his head as he hit the rock wall of the mountain, creating a huge and deep hole. The first time in his life drakness threatened to overcome his senses. It's all because of a single punch? That's also low blow on his ego. He's muscular. Nobody hurts him let alone bring him to his knees. It's all new experience. Even when he got caught by officials, he wasn't beaten up. He was just waiting for the moment. But now? He's straight up getting his ass whooped by a tiny man? That's insulting.
Deku' stood afar with his arm still in a punching position as the green flames covered both hands. His hood was down revealing his white hair moving like flames as his body produces black smoke. His eyes are on fire and the area of his eye socket cracked revealing the green flames in them. Not just his eyes glowing, the eyes are gone replaced with the green fire sockets. Veins glowed brightly as they came visible and his jaw is clenched and his gritted teeth are visible. This formation is something that has the quality of both his hell form and mortal form, but strong and deadly. Eri' closed eyes was a trigger. He wanted them open and shining, not lost in the world of darkness.
Muscular' world is crumbling down. Nothing makes sense to him anymore. He's just there froze on the sharp rubble gasping painful breathes. Only one punch and he's already lost. The Rider however wasn't fighting to win. He's fighting because of vengeance. Unlike before he's taking it personally. And that's also why his punch is unforgiving.
Without any second delayed, Deku was in front of him like a blur. Before Muscular knew it he's dragged to his knees with an iron grip chocked his windpipe. The giant man struggled to breathe while he continuously coughed blood. Deku slowly tightened his grasp and raised muscular up. Muscular saw those rage dripping fire in those eye sockets. He saw the sinners being punished in those eyes. Fear was so foreign when he felt it first time in his life after he got his strength. Now he's at mercy someone or something. It's just that, his attacker' 'quirk' is too overpowered than it should be. His guts saying that.
While Deku on the other hand could sense the strength of the man' pulse. It's throbbing with life, only to anger him more. Because, Eri don't have left that much of a noticeable pulse. If she don't has it, then he won't have it either.
"PAIN. YOU LOVE CAUSING PAIN HUH? HUUH?" Deku screamed in pure rage, causing the ground and the surrounding to shake wildly. And the ground under him cracked and green hellfire glow emitted from it. His voice echoed all around the woods letting out a frightening aura. The villains had to know that the death awaiting them is already on their doorstep. The demonic voice echoed threatening to break Muscular' eardrum. The voice was that much. But he have lot to worry than the Rider' voice.
Like a blur another punch connected with the big man's gut causing his body throw backwards but his neck was still in the iron grip so his knees landed where it was a second ago. This time the agonized scream left his mouth was longer yet weaker than the last one. It's just that the rider could end him right there and then, but he won't stop it so easily for the big man. "HOW DOES IT FEEL NOW? BEING THE RECEIVING END OF SUFFERING? HUH? I DON'T SEE YOU'RE LAUGHING NOW. WHAT HAPPENED?" Rider yelled again. His tone, his posture, his eyes, nothing is that of a savior now. All Muscular could see is a monster that he never could become. With his life is ending he recalled what has he done. How many lives he ruined or stole. And he always thought of him being the monster. But now there' this stranger who appeared out of green circle radiating the aura of a demon of hell on earth.
He's petrified is an understatement. He don't know what to feel. Well, how can he feel something else than the unbearable pain he's going through. "YOU CAUSED INNOCENT SOUL' SUFFERING AND ETERNAL PAIN..." Rider started bringing Muscular' face closer so that the big man closely looking at his hell like fire eyes. "..AND NOW IS YOUR TURN." That's the final nail in the coffin.
Deku tossed Muscular away. Even though the toss didn't damaged him, something else did. It took muscular a lot to realise something. Fear was never leaving his heart. Rider did something to him. Something sickening, frightening and gruesome. Also painfully agonizing.
Muscular was laying there but slowly and weakly looks down at his body at the same time he's painfully started to scream. His eyes contained many emotions. Fear, pain and confusion was the main three. It was his quirk. His manipulative muscle which moving on it's own. And that's not even the worst part. His muscles are ignited with spreading green fire. Not only fire painting his exposed muscles, a texture of cracking lava formed on it's surface. It wasn't just for show. The screams leaving his throat had the meaning. He's being cooked alive as the fire taking over his quirk muscles.
Tears fell when writhing on the the ground and rolled around in hopes of putting out the ever growing intensity of the green fire. They are not any regular burning. The pain it caused was so much that not even gods could endure. That's why Muscular' pained cries echoed all over the beast woods. Who heard it was out of question when telling that nobody heard it is a big lie. Muscular straight up feeling the pain. He didn't even felt andranelin numbing his pain. Andranelin was non existent. Rider made sure of that.
The writhing didn't help him put out the raging fire on him. He tried. Desperately tried, still trying with no success of survival. His pained cries never ceased and was getting louder with the fire spreadsheet every individual meat of his quirk muscles. He flailed his hands around scratching, slapping and rubbing all the muscles the fire is taking over. "Eri.. you don't know what have you done. Kicking her back into darkness she was in all her life. Won't let her see the world she still haven't started to see properly. Now she is only seeing darkness..." Rider said. He wasn't yelling anymore. His voice was calm. Frighteningly calm. But his voice was clear as day even though Muscular' screams are loud. Rider watched the big crying man on the floor, and said those word in spite. The Rider is so calm all of a sudden but his aura never changed. It still petrified everyone, including the sinned souls wandering the earth. Rider slowly sat down never leaving his eyes off the big man. ".. who' fault is that?" He finished his sentence and the sight before him started to change.
Mascular was doing something a human being never do. But the pain of the ever growing burns made him do stuff that even he ain't processing. Muscular screamed as he used his own hands to rip apart his own muscles. The hellfire kind of controlled the muscles and it was growing all over his body. That's the reason why he's ripping off every thing meaty bits that comes in his palms. He ripped off his own muscles desperately and so fast yet the quirk muscles growing back with the fire in it. Which means the pain only growing. Like a feline dropping fur, Muscular' quirk muscles got violently detached and the they immediately disintegrated upon removal.
He's destroying his own body. His muscles are ever growing. But there's a limit to everything, right? At some point of the carnage, his energy was dropping faster. Reaching a stage where the healing factor or the cells don't regenerate. It was too much. The screams never lost the pain behind it, only the sound is weakening. Little by little, his quirk muscles are no longer growing back. But the same cannot be said about the fire. It's still spreading all over him. Even the controllable muscles was ripped off his normal body, but he still haven't stopped yet. His fingers diggs into every part where the fire is and ripped them off as well. Blood splattered all over the place and red meat part littered the ground and still he wasn't stopping.
Rider watched it happen. He sat there until Muscular' body lost the ability to move due to losing muscle flesh. He's halfway just a bloodied bone pile now. The pain was obviously worsened, but he wasn't screaming anymore. There's no power left in him to.
Rider slowly stood up and moved closer to the villain. The raging storm in the Rider was unexplainable. He doesn't feel anything else. Almost as if Eri' dying heart beat taking away his ability to think. Maybe that's why his form changed again. He doesn't feel like talking again. So, as he got closer to muscular, he's the Ghost Rider. The walking burnt bones. Through the pained, closing eyes Muscular saw it. What his attacker really is. A Ghost, literally.
Rider' gloved hand reached down and got a hold of Muscular' face and the next thing came was quick. The Rider lifted Muscular' head up and repeatedly bringing back them down, slamming his head on to the rubble shattering both the ground and his skull. Each slam more brutal and powerful than the previous. Rubble around the shattered and sank as the force creating a a crater deeper and deeper. It continued for the devil knows how long. But he's going full at it. Even though it could kill anyone, the hellfire kept the villain' soul trapped in him. Which means, that he's still alive after he lost seventy percent of flesh and brain on his head. It's just a matter of seconds that he's just a bundle of flesh. Alive flesh.
However, there's a sudden stop in the Rider' movement. He stopped almost instantly, not moving a bit. But still his grip on Muscular' head never leaving. There's something else going on. Somebody else is in trouble. And somebody else is doing that. A familiar somebody. Rider slowly turns his head towards the woods where he could sense all the troubled students and teachers. They're hurt and weak. But thankfully alive.
Even though they're alive, some aren't alright. He slowly stood up with Muscular' head in hand, Rider overlooked the woods reading the souls occupied it. Souls of innocents scattered across it and was all over the place. They where all knocked out too because of a purple mist. Then he concentrated on the sinners. The fire raged as he read their souls. The villians who decided to attack the student. And the one he's folding right now is the part of them. And he's not even the one who's leading them. Shigaraki Tomura. The stupid villain he almost killed two times. And he's the mastermind of everything. The attack. The pain and suffering of the innocents. And the fault of Eri being hurt. The hell broke loose as that thought hit him. If only he would have just killed that handy turd, Eri would've been fine. But that doesn't mean those freaks won't get what they deserve. Hell, they'll get worse. He'll make sure of that.
Black smoke and Green flame intensified and everything else except the villain' doesn't matter anymore. Their the target and with that thought he throws Muscular' body up in the air, straight at the gathered villains. Rider wasn't even putting any effort behind the throw. And still Muscular' huge frame went fast and far.
MEANWHILE...
The villain' gathered at the exfil spot. It's just matter of seconds before All For One' teleportation slime comes to pick them up. They pretty much did what their here for. Except for mustard and Muscular, everyone was there. Capture was a success. Bakugo is caught. But Izumi Midoriya was nowhere to be found. Well, things gone as planned to an extent. Toga has the blood sample she was told to collect. Not much but still she has them. Compress has a marble containing Bakugo and that's it. They were waiting for pick up. But things grew terrifying. They felt ground shake and saw shockwaves flying by destroying everything in its path. Mainly trees, as far as they can see. Things was like that for few minutes. And the atmosphere around them creeped them out and they didn't know why. But two minutes they heard screams that send shivers down their spine. The origin of it still remains unknown for them and what are they still doing here? Muscular and mustard is two great assets. Losing them doesn't make sense because how far they come and succeeded the mission at hand.
And now things are going worse. Their mentally freaking out. The shift in the past few minutes, kind of effecting them for all the different reasons.
"Aren't we going Shigi? I'm kinda feeling funny here." Toga nudges his shoulder.
"No. Wait for those two. Every one of us leaving just like we came." Shigaraki said. If it was a month ago, he would've be the first to suggest ditching those two. But nowadays, it's difficult to live out here if you are a villain. A curtain fire freak is after everyone.
"We got what we came for. What's the point waiting for them anyway? Besides the situation looks kinda weird here." Dabi said looking around. He also feels something is about to happen.
"We're waiting because it's hard to recruit anyone these days. And Muscular' brute strength is a best thing we could have." Shigaraki said.
"That's a good reasoning." Compress agreed to Shigaraki.
"It is." Shigaraki muttered.
"It is not. Of course it is." Twice agreed as well. Moonfish just was there all the time grumbling about flesh and blood. Every one of them retreated just as the mission is possibly done. And Mustard' quirk did the job. But his gas is no longer visible meaning he's out. They don't want to run into any other complications and decided to wait for them instead. The Nomu' are gone back to lab because of their condition. Only they saw how underdeveloped those things were. They were in hurry, so the Nomu' were just a temporary power. That's it.
"Should I go play with those two girl? I'm kinda bored." Toga whined.
"I think we have enough to worry about. Like, what are those disturbances? I literally heard screams. God knows who's that belongs to." Compress said.
"Keep your mouth shut. My brain is hurting." Shigaraki said.
However the least they expected was what happened next. Sure they felt the atmosphere changed that of an intense one. But they had no idea of the 'object' descending real quickly. It has no sound except the one of blowing wind and that's not something loud to hear as well. The said object wasn't just any object. It was a bloody crushed form of someone they were waiting for. Well he's getting near though.
Muscular' bloody smashed body came down and unfortunately some of his allies happened to be under his crushing weight. With a loud exploding thud, he landed directly on top of twice, moonfish. His boney hand hit Dabi' back along with Toga as he landed causing them to fall as well. And Shigaraki also was under Muscular as the heavy shoulders and head landed on his back. The fall was so devastating that it really crushed the three and broke dozens of bones of Dabi Toga and Shigaraki. They couldn't even scream because they're blacked out. Twice and compress straight up died when their head and spine.was crushed. Moonfish and the other four including Muscular is knocked out. But they are alive and broken. The fall was so devastating that a huge dust clouds kicked up and a small crater formed creating bunch of cracks all around.
The marble containing Bakugo slipped off Compress' possession when it happened. Due to the user of the quirk out of picture, the effects of it wore off. He got caught when moonfish ambushed him and Todoroki. With the double quirk user wasn't as energetic as he should be, Bakugo had to deal with the tooth quirked villain. Maybe that's the whole point. Moonfish was the big distraction and both boys didn't see a marble coming and imprison him. The last thing happened was a purple mist before he got trapped in the tiny ball. That's why nobody followed them. But now something else is coming after them. And that's the first thing he realised as the marble popped with bunch of smoke. Bakugo is released and he felt relief when the fresh air hit him. Things are weird in that marble and he hate go back in there.
He breathed in some fresh air and sighed. He didn't noticed anything almost instantly because he's busy with keeping his breathing still. His eye sight was towards somewhat else that point and he missed the state of his captors. Maybe that's the same reason why he's back on his senses. Where are they? Was the question made him look around. But when he did, his heart almost stopped and eyes almost popped off it's sockets. What he first saw wasn't the bodies. First the barely present dust cloud blocked his view, but eventually the wet red color painted on the debris was visible. Then as he looks up, the mess is completely clear to him. Blood was everywhere and their crushed bodies radiated a feeling dread and horror. It's that watching things like these on news or movies and watching it up close and genuine is completely different experience. The reality always is horrifying than the fiction. And that's why he can't describe what he's seeing. A huge man who's bones his hands and chest, laying on top of his captors. And he recognise some of them and he even shocked to see the blade teeth quirk villain with them, under the weight of the big man. Their body proportions clearly shows that how messed up their bones are and the one villain with black and white outfit is the definition of 'crushed' than the rest.
Bakugo crawled back in surprise and stumbled back on to his feet. He didn't realise he's now sweating as he watched them lay unconscious or probably dead on the floor. And watching dead bodies are just straight up disturbing. One may have PTSD from such experience and Bakugo probably won't be an exception. But he was forgetting something important. Escape while he still can. It's just that he's too shocked to even do anything.
SWOOOOIISZZZSSS...
That's when he heard that sound. With his troubled concentration was on the villain', the sudden noise startled and causing him to flinch. Bakugo didn't know what to expect and looks at the way the sound came. His already shocked mind cannot handle another shocker as he saw the familiar green fire surrounding some chains that spinning in round. He read a lot of comic books to put two and two together about the logic of portals. Sci fi always has those. And now there's really one appeared in front of him. But eventually he released that he should be worried about something other than the portal. Metal footsteps came out of the portal and Bakugo saw a foot emerges from the portal followed by the rest of the body.
Deku was back to his mortal form and had his hood up. He didn't care at first but showing up with his face showing could create something unpredictable when it's Bakugo is the one who's here. But it's true that he no longer care if his identity is revealed or not. What's the point anyway? He's a dead man. Nobody won't believe it anyways. Like how often a dude comes back from dead. Well the possibility of them thinking you're a ghost is high. And it's practically true anyways. He's dead but living.
When he's out of the portal Bakugo was standing there troubled and not knowing what to do. Deku however os about to murderer someone and don't want Bakugo getting on his way. He also sensed the knocked out students across the woods and decided to do one thing. Concentrate on every one of them and create portal on top of each of them and transport them back to the camp. It wasn't difficult though. He felt the chains appeared out of the ground doing it's job.
He also summoned bunch of fire chains and created a portal as well for Bakugo, who flinched again. "I want you out of here, Katsuki. Don't say no, if you don't want to be on my bad side." Deku threateningly said knowing the blonde. Bakugo never listens to anyone so easily, so he took a threatening approach. Well, he could only keep cool this much because of his anger is overpowering his senses.
But before the blonde could do anything, the portal moved on it's own and instantly sucked him in transporting him as well. As the portal closed, Deku' attention was back on them. Two of them are dead already, even though the main one he tortured still alive. Well, they're back at hell anyways. What's the difference? It's just a matter of moments before their friends join them as well.
Deku dropped his hood and walked closer to them. He just want the alive one' open their eyes. Before they die, he really wanna see hell in theirs eyes. Bunch of misleaded fools who's a puppet of their of foul morals. Some are out here because of revenge and all but they come too fat to justify their actions. What matters is wether or not they enjoy what they're doing. And for them, they're basically forged to be the sinners forever. Eri' condition is the proof that these sinners are beyond saving from their wrongdoings. So bunch of fire chains erupts from the ground coiling around their crushed bodies and send enough heat into their blood stream to wake them up. And they did wake screaming in pain. Every one of their bones are shattered in various places. The fire chains also melting their flesh which was the double pain their normally feeling. It's disturbing like bunch of corpses suddenly start to scream. But while they were in pain Deku was watching them closely. Their fate is written. Or better say that he changed their fate. Just like he did with everyone else. The ones who would've died as the most known and feared villians, dies in his hands pathetically.
In their cries, a feeling in their hearts made them stop screaming and their pain got temporarily subsided. The feeling where you see death so close and so afraid that forget all pain and remember the past. The exception here is they're not remembering anything. Their struggling mind was focussing on the death himself standing before them. Their personalities are now the same as they fearfully watched the unmasked vigilante who radiated the aura of something huge and powerful. Before taking the last breath, Shigaraki and his gang seeing the Ghost Rider' real face.
"You're in pain. I know. And that's what all those people felt too when you took the freedom to take their lives..." He started speaking and moved closer. His voice creeped them out and it had that demonic tone to it. His eyes are glowing so bright that they could see the raging flames in them. "... souls talks to me, saying how they miss their loved ones. Most of them are the ones who was murdered by the likes of you." Deku continued and his voice eyes are only showing pure disgust and hatred.
"If you only have chose the good ways. I'm saying this to you Dabi. Your old man learnt his lesson and your hatred towards him don't justify your actions." Deku calmly said even though the feeling of death around him was getting bigger.
Dabi couldn't even get shocked anymore than he's already is. He can't even think anything straight anymore. "I can individually point out your mistakes, but at this point things won't change. Like your mental illness aren't a licence of what you do Toga. If hardships of life turns you into bunch of mindless freaks, I would've been on top of the food chain feasting on your sorry excuse of lives." Deku said and his horrifying calm state remains the same which scared the villain' surprisingly. His ways of intimidation is genuinely different than they experienced. Even Allmight don't scare them at all but him just standing there, does? That's the weirdest thing ever. None of them could hide the fear on their faces. They are so scared that the screams of pain won't come out. His face is clear as day and the way he's looking at them scared them more.
"Trusting those who you shouldn't and setting the rules they built up for you. Shigaraki, you are the fool to trust the man who ruined your life. Lied about everything and turned you into a brainless puppet." Deku' voice was dripping with venom when he's looking at Shigaraki and his anger about to take over his mind once more.
The villain' heard everything but nothing came out of their mouths. They're just waiting for death which is basically facing them it's just matter of seconds before they'll reach hell. Deku rubbed his temples and his jaw clenched and nose flared. Eri' closed eyes are haunting and he's blaming the ones who' responsible for her condition. Her dying heartbeat still drumming in his maid reminding him that it's getting weaker than before. "And basically every one of you, rats thought, it's fine to not only cause destruction and suffering. But you thought of hurting children was fine as well. And that child... YOUR FRIEND HURT WASN'T EVEN TEN. AND HER HEARTBEATS STOPPING BEFORE SHE COULD ENJOY HER FREEDOM." Deku shouted while finishing his line. His voice turned heavy and demonic as black smoke came out of his body. His outburst made them flinch violently and the fear they're feeling now is uncomfortable. He was about to change but calmed down a little and decided to tell them something. So he moved closer and looks down at the pained eyes looking up at him.
"So, here's something I want you to know about the monster who's hunting you down and eliminated every single one of your disgusting kind.. " he started will a small yet chilling voice. The villain' looks at him without any other options. His presence promising nothing but death, which is now hundred percent confirmed. ".. I'm a dead man, got killed because of the likes of you. A weak pathetic, quirkless nobody died that day and you know what happened..." Deku continued and the black smoke was coming out of every part of his body Little by little. The villain' was in disbelief and they couldn't even not believe what he's saying. The way he's saying it is so believable. And they fearfully watched as his eyes glowed and smoke rising.
"I met the demon and became the Ghost Rider." He finished his words and soon they are watching as his skin started to get dark and they cracked exposing the green flame under. Then the charred skin on his face disintegrated little by little and his hair burnt off followed by the chunks of flesh and at some point his eyes popped leaving the socket empty and fiery. The skull slowly became visible and soon there's no skin or flesh left. The villain' are now looking up at the fire skeleton who's froze on the spot not moving. But he's clearly looking at them.
They thought there's no way they could be more scared of the man in front of them. The vigilante who' murdering 'everyone' on the way and their at their last moments seeing his true form. A sight that will cause fear in their next incarnation and that's a guarantee. No words to describe their feelings. What's there to feel when something like this is what you're looking at. It' a miracle that nobody dies out of heart attack when seeing this...this..Ghost? Demon? Devil? They don't know what they are seeing.
But in the raging flames of the rider Eri' face was visible as the Rider slowly grew in size. Little by little, his structure was doubling in size. He's getting taller and tall until there' a point where he's overlooking the top part of the tree's around him. The nightmare is real and they watched it happen and soon his right leg was lifted into the air and soon the whole huge boot came back down directly on top of them.
There's only the tremors others could experience. The thing happened in middle of the woods gone unnoticed by everyone else. But it happened. They felt the earth shake that night as the students woke up to experience it as well.
