Note:
Alright it looks like CAMA is going to be winning this one so now you all can make suggestions on where they will go next in the review or PM. I've seen a lot of anime but there are still some I may not know about regardless I'll probably take a moment to rewatch/read whatever series wins by default before I start my writing, there will be another vote at the end to cover personality choices as well given the different paths, the only reason I haven't done it now is that one of the options is a spoiler for BP ending. Enjoy the early Birthday chapter reading!
Welcoming committee: Silver Chain, Phoenix Man, Atomic disciples, Shoji, Tsu, Uraraka, Jiro, and Iida
"Ah Silver Chain, what's the situation like? It seemed as though the heroes had successfully rescued the hostage if they were pulling out like so but it seems they may have found the wrong one…that boy isn't the one that we captured, no?" Phoenix Man remarked before chucking a thumb at the small boy also standing out in the field, along with the boy half were the heroes, more specifically all of the tank toppers; they all seemed to be in a daze of some sort or more like they were likely waiting for orders.
"Ah, it seems I no longer have control over you since my timely defeat." Phoenix Man spoke again, taking her silence as disobedience or her ignoring him.
"Yes, the situation is going poorly. The heroes had already evacuated the first child, hostage, quickly after they entered, that boy was the second child hostage taken in by royal ripper during his scouting run for garou." Silver Chain commented
"Ah, I see..but what do you mean the situation is going poorly exactly? Is this the only S-class that has been killed so far? What of the others?" Phoenix Man asked
"All of the other cadre are dead besides Black Sperm, including both orochi and Gyoro-Gyoro that is the only S-class rated casualty so far, all of the others are currently engaged with Black Sperm besides two others who have departed from the battle early" Silver Chain replied.
"Is the fighting really going that badly? Who defeated orochi? Did your plan fail and that bald man made his appearance?" Phoenix Man asked
"We severely underestimated the heroes' strength, tatsumaki's especially because she was the one to defeat orochi, the other heroes managed to defeat the cadre either by themselves or with additional support from the others that had finished their fights early." Silver Chain replied.
"Ah, so you saw the writing on the wall and fled? What will you do now?" Phoenix Man asked
"What are you going to do?" Silver Chain asked instead, avoiding his inquiry entirely.
"Well I was going to go back and get my revenge but if what you're saying is true then it would be easier to ally myself with the heroes, can any of the cadre bodies be resurrected?" phoenix questioned.
"No, the entire base was crushed and picked up out of the ground by tatsumaki and used as a skewer to finish off Orochi's heart." Silver Chain remarked that the Phoenix Man whistled.
"Yes it seems like we have underestimated the heroes after all, they didn't even need the bald man to accomplish the mission, has king entered the fray at all either?" Phoenix Man questioned.
"No from what I've seen he hasn't shown himself at all, the man is very elusive even to me." Silver Chain remarked with a shake of her head.
"Very impressive, in that case, I have a plan that could potentially endear the heroes to us. Given how Black Sperm does battle I can only assume that the heroes are busy trying to contain him. If while they are distracted you kill a couple of them then I can come in like an angel to revive them, of course with the caveat that we are absolved of anything and be allowed to live peacefully. Sounds like a plan doesn't it?" Phoenix Man spoke.
"That is a plan of action, what ensures you that I cannot simply blend in myself?" Silver Chain spoke.
"I'm sure you can but don't you want to be free and do what you want? And not hide in the shadows? We can get complete amnesty if we do this." Phoenix Man spoke.
"How are you so sure that the heroes would even keep their word after you finished reviving the dead?" Silver Chain asked
"Because they aren't monsters they will keep their word as long as I play my hand just right and if they don't do well even if they kill me, I have my countermeasures for that eventuality and would begin to slaughter people and they wouldn't want to risk that." Phoenix Man spoke and Silver Chain would have liked to learn about the counter-measures he had in place; however, that seemed to have to wait for another time as they were joined by some rather unexpected company.
"Master? Tank top master!? Hey everyone!" came the voice of tank top tentacole as another group of heroes arrived down next to them, he was concerned about him and the rest of the tank tops while the rest of the heroes had locked gazes with them, the sword disciples had drawn their weapons against the both of them, Phoenix Man was merely chuckled and was begin to go near them but Silver Chain quickly grabbed a hold of him stopping him in his place before whispering in his ear.
"If you wish to allow the heroes to hear your plight, then you mustn't needless…aggression…..especially to them..the situation on the other battlefield is still unfolding." Silver Chain remarked.
" What's unfolding?" the other mutant individual remarked, this was the one with superior hearing ability stereo queen, Silver Chain looked over to her and then the rest of the group, the one wearing pink and blue had stepped forward she pressed a hand along the lead swordsman weapon indicating for him to stand down which the blonde man reluctantly did which the others followed suit shortly after, uravity stepped forwards in front of her group as Silver Chain put herself in front of Phoenix Man mostly as a precaution but also a sign of faith.
"Silver Chain, what's going on? What happened here?" uraraka asked as she looked around at the meandering people just staying in place.
"You could say some miscommunication happened here, but everyone is still alive is all that matters." Silver Chain remarked.
"All that matters? Isn't this the cadre that can revive people right? Which means he killed all of these people and turned them into puppets." Iaian accused
"That I did, but they are still alive and they still have their consciousness." Phoenix Man spoke as he snapped his fingers and suddenly all of the soldiers and tank toppers had seemingly come to their senses and started to speak and murmur amongst each other sekingar had recognized the threat that was Phoenix Man and almost ordered the heroes to stop him but with another snap of his fingers everyone was once again back to their suspended state.
"Look, we don't have time to argue the morality of what this monster did. There are more important matters that we need to attend to and his ability could prove useful." Silver Chain quickly remarked.
"Did…did something happen to the others?" Uravity asked.
"No, but I fear that it might, the battlefield has changed and a dangerous new enemy has appeared on the field, the situation has changed. " Silver Changed remarked before sending a side glance back towards Phoenix Man who got the hint and nodded.
"Wait but we got Saitama, where is he? I'm sure that he should have been there already with his speed." Iida spoke
"He has yet to show himself and the enemy has already begun to act." Silver Chain spoke and despite the skepticism, the hero group agreed that they could put aside their differences for the moment until they could confirm with the others about the situation, naturally, this was the smarter play in general as no one there had the power to take down the cadre in the first place if silver didn't make any moves to help them than they to would have become puppets to the monster. The teens wanted to trust in Silver Chain's judgment of the situation at least for the moment.
Bomb VS Garou
Bomb watched with sharp eyes as his brother was defeated and laying down on the ground he was completely shaken by what he saw not only did the apprentice surpass his brother's full power but he had also managed to due their secrete technique single-handedly, if he were to face this man right now it was clear to him that he would be no match but as he saw continued to look at his brother's unconscious form and the unpredictable boy hovering above him he needed to act as his brother could be in great peril and he would be damned if he would let him die on his watch.
Bomb charge forwards as the man had been clutching at his head, he waited for the instant where he was far enough away from bang to make his move, he pulled his hand behind his back once more before charging forth, and using the whirlwind at full power he believed that garou would be bang problems to face however in the face of his failure it was a big brothers duty to step up he was sure based on the conflict that his brother wanted to take garou back alive but bomb couldn't afford to hold back against this person not anymore, in terms of him and his brother he was still the stronger brother if the two of them were discounting the awakening breath technique that advanced technique is able to bring about the full inner working of his body regaining even a portion of his strength when he was younger, if he remembered what his brother told him was by using the water stream to run his body at peak efficacy by passing even some of the bodies natural limitations set upon itself to stop use from over exerting ourselves. His brother had fully admitted to creating the technique solely in the hopes of beating him when the two of them grew older and while they had never fought, it became clear to him in that battle he just now faced that he had surpassed him and as an older brother he never felt prouder than him at that moment then now and it was for that reason he would not let anything happen to him.
The attack despite being launched as the boy back still looked away clutching his face he had miraculously managed to dodge out of the way of his attack, jumping over it with such speed that it cratered the ground from which he once stood bomb completely turned around to face the man once more launching out with a strike again with the whirlwind ust to have it perfectly counter by the attack with one of his own but more than that coming around too fast for him to notice as he struck him in the shoulder with a pint point strike, immediately his hand fell limp to the side, it couldn't be could it? The pressure point killer fist, bomb struck out with a kick but the attack was caught and multiple more blows racked his leg paralyzing it instantly and sending an osculating pain to fly up it causing him to wince back he managed to dodge one punch but a kick to the gut completely sent him spiraling backward the blow caving in and he could feel several ribs give way and break making it hard for him to breath, he attempted to stand on one leg before blood started to run from his lips and he collapsed once more and puked up blood, he looked up at the man, who seemingly stared back before noticing a large light in the distance and letting out another monstrous yell before rushing off into the night directly towards the light.
Bomb vision started to blur and fade as another cough of blood erupted from his mouth, he turned towards his brothers to check over him only to find someone standing over him, he was quickly trying to get up and tell the person to get away but he faltered for a moment losing sight of the individual before something struck him in the back of his head and his world went black.
A spectacular entrance: Platinum sperm VS Council of sword, Metal Bat, Zombieman, Puri-Puri Prisoner, Child Emperor, Genos, Midoirya, Tokoyami, Todoroki, Bakugo
The group had just finished killing all of the Black Sperms they could manage before some simply had gotten too far for them to encounter, Midoriya was shore to warn the rear guard that a mob of the enemy was headed their way but he didn't dare spare even a moment to ask some of the others to go back and continue the pursuit of the smaller enemies there had been likely a few hundred left within dozens of bodies but that still could be enough to overwhelm them so he asked momo to pull back all of the machines to chase after them. Midoriya would simply have to hope that the other could take care of it as his danger sense had started to go crazy as a large flashing light emerged in front of all of them where the once golden being once stood now saw the appearance of another entity it was slimmer in appearance and was a gray color with an elongated tentacle appendage on top of its head. everyone's eyes were locked on the new individual while its muscles were smaller the presence it radiated was apparent to nearly everyone present, nearly being the correct word as metal bat seemed to be the only one that didn't seem to think of the monster as not that much of a bigger threat.
"Ha! Is that supposed to be your "ultimate" form, it's smaller than the last one." metal bat quipped.
"Don't be cocky, this guy's aura is insane." Atomic Samurai remarked in rebuttal to his comrade.
"Yeah, my danger sense is sending me massive warning signals, everyone please be careful." Midoriya commented.
"Yes, my sensors are telling me this is an extremely dangerous adversary as well." Genos commented also in support.
"We'll see about that, hey chrome dome, I'll take you on right here!" Metal Bat yelled out before proceeding to move forwards.
"Hmph? About that ….Let me pass through for a sec." the monster remarks simply as it takes notice of the heroes before and then disaster strikes.
1.2 Microseconds
The group was completely shocked as the creature had disappeared from all of their sights and all of them took heavy hits, the first target that was hit was none other than metal bat the man was in front and walking towards the monster making him the prime target for attack, the second that was hit was the large machine brave giant being rocked on it's haunches as a frontal portion of it's chassis was crunched inwards from the blow, Midoriya while not being able to see what was going to happen knew and attack was coming thanks to his danger sense he braced himself and wrapped himself with his black whip the punch still hit him like a continental freight train nearly breaking his arms through both his armor and his redefined full gauntlets, Metal Bat took a punch to the face that sent the man spiraling high into the the air, council of swords were somewhat able to react to the monsters speed but were too slow with their weapons to block correctly the first sword master that he approached was zanbai, the man had attempted to come down on him with his peaceful death strike but it was slow platinum sperm had struck out first cutting off the man's sword arm along with his head in a singular strike, before moving on to the next sword master amahare the sword master was still recovering from shock of seeing his compatriots head soaring into the air leaving him easy pickings to get stab right through the chest as the monster continued to move on to the next target.
Which was Atomic Samurai the man had enraged eyes and his blade was actually swinging in the direction of his approach a testament to how fast the man could swing but it was simply not going to be enough to protect him however his eyes were diverted by another an older gentlemen Nichirin had knocked Atomic out of the way of his lunge the kick that he was delivering severing the man in half by the waste completely breaking through the old man's sword that he attempted to use to block, the monster continued onwards to the weaker heroes they were frozen statues in comparison to the samurai, Demon Cyborg attempted to intercepted him but he simply used his large tentacle on his head to wrap around the cyborg legs and slams it down into the ground ripping both of them off in the process and brining the cyborg closer to punch him but he was shocked when the cyborg was consumed by something else and in that process none other than Pig God had ate the man hole and the punch that was going to be for his crone instead was hit into the man's gut sending him flying backwards puking up blood he'd continued on with his process the two of them both zomebieman and Puri-Puri Prisoner were next to each other so his kick would strike the both of them dead center however the naked man showed surprising speed to put himself directly in front of Zombieman but like that would have made much a difference as his kick bypass the man and his strange sudden hairy exterior before striking Zombieman behind him, the man's chets was completely perforated open as his carcass went spiralig one way which wa the same for Zombieman as well his body was ripped open from the force of the kick and his neck snapped backwards at multiple awkawards angle
He moved on to the others the large shadow creature he struck multiple times he didn't know where the kid was inside of it but he knew from the force of his blows it would still work even if he didn't hit the kid directly the creature itself was physically hit which would send the boy flying away, he went towards the fire and ice boy next he had used his head tail two swat aside several bullets headed in his direction before launching out with a punch two machines had got in the way but it didn't matter as he punched through the both of them and nicked his intended target, he continued to the next target which was the explosive teen next to him launching off with another kick but this was intercepted by something? Not a machine but a person as he kicked the thing in the face it completely evaporated into a cloud of silver dust. Platinum sperms had stopped before turning around to look at his handiwork, the world seemed to catch up to everyone and the pressure of his strikes finally took place. Scattering everyone and things to the wind.
He looked around at the scattered bodies and down people and laughed before gloating about his new power.
"Yes! You all are so weak now in comparison to the true me." platinum sperm spoke but none of them seemed to be able-bodied enough to even hear him well except a few that had seemingly escaped his attacks but he loved seeing the despair on their faces as they all looked at the carnage that happened to reveal in their shock expressions.
"Nichirin!" the Atomic Samurai called out as he saw his teacher dying on the ground he ran forward and got down on his knees next to the bisected man, he couldn't believe it … all of the other sword masters were gone.
"Kamikaze, the council of sword masters is solely you… Take this." Nichirin remarked as he grabbed his necklace and twisted two fingers together, summoning out of his necklace none other than the sun blade.
"I've watched you grow out of my very eyes …as a master. I leave the council of swords in your hands." Nichirin spoke
"...understood." atomic replied simply.
"As well as the search for the moon blade." Nichrin spoke again and Atomic Samurai understood, that the moon blade was a separate blade from the sun, it is said that the warrior who wields both will obtain unparalleled power as the "swords master" Bringing that legend to reality is the council of swordmasters' long-standing mission. Now as the last and only surviving member it was his mission and his alone, he thought bitterly as he watched as the man's eye slowly fluttered closed, he looked down at his dying master and then looked towards the other council members around him before turning towards to look at the others dead bodies laid around him, was he the only one left? No others started to come around him as well, Midoriya, Child Emperor's large machine, the flame and ice kid, the shadow boy although his large shadow was gone and he could only limp forward towards the misconfigured zombie man, the exploding boy also survived miraculously although he was clouded in a some gray powder mysteriously but judging from their conditions none of them would be able to fight this monster.
"Child Emperor, Midoriya take the wounded and the dead out of here…I'll handle this on my own." kamikaze remarked this wasn't a request but a demand and Midoriya didn't want to follow it but as he looked to his friends whom barely survived even such a brief encounter and his worry about his friends left from behind he just couldn't help but want to agree and Child Emperor was speechless and seemed to just be following the man's demands using smaller machines of the giant one to pick everyone up or at least parts of them that mattered before he gestured for the others, Bakugo bit his tongue wanting to contest the decision but judging from that blow just now he knew that he would just get in the way so he relented and started to fly away, Midoriya while accepting of his limitations still wanted to participate or help out somehow, he couldn't risk his life given what was happening back home but he still wanted to help out so he move forwards and with a pain grunt he put his hand on the man's shoulder and sped him up as much as possible with gear shift , Tokoyami was also not one to let things just stand as they were he couldn't fight anymore despite not taking a direct hit from the attack he was still hurt enough to be bleeding from his beak and limping, but he swapped dark shadow for shining light before bestowing it upon Atomic Samurai, on the samurai it took a different shape being more in the shape of chainmail and gold colored highlights along the mans body the the typical body armor it usuall sports likely due to its decreased effects in the darkness.
They wished the swordsman luck before heading back towards the rearguard to regroup and bandage up their wounds, metal bat had disappeared somewhere but the man may have been so damaged that there was no body anymore and they didn't want to think about that before continuing forwards up and away, atomic watched them leave as his eyes focused completely on the target in front of him but before the fighting could begin in earnest things instantly changed when suddenly platinum sperms were knocked up from behind before something dashed forwards at him, Atomic Samurai thought quickly pulling out his secondary sword to block the strike being pushed back for a moment before lashing back out with his blade again the figure had dodged back and as the dust settled the man's appearance had become clear to him.
Rear Guard
The class was immediately put on guard when Midoriya message them that they had a mass of enemies approaching in their direction using, Toru light enhancement: telescope she spotted the large mass of enemies approaching them and was immediately shocked by it the absolute size of the monster presence there seemed to be hundreds of them approaching them, they had been chased by the robots but there numbers still had been quite numerous, given the completely wrecked landscape they could witness the approaching horde, the mass of black inky forms spread across the landscape almost like a dark paint brush. They were all preparing to face the large horde of monsters as retreat wasn't an option not only because of the danger that the monster posed to the civilians but also because Momo could not be moved at the moment her entire concentration was needed to maintain that large mech that she conjured for Child Emperor, Darkshine upon hearing and at first seeing the large group of shadowy creatures headed their way immediately wanted them to leave nearly yanking all of them off their feet and getting them all to leave by force just like how Midoriya had asked him to do, which some of the class took the wrong way but left it for now and tried to explain to the man why they couldn't move Momo at all or risk harm being brought upon both Child Emperor and their friends.
Darshine had seemed to be to scared to hear them however as he gathered plenty of them inside of his massive arms and still made way towards Momo planning to do the same, given the man's bulk and strength none of them had any chance of actually stopping him once the man set his mind to do something however that didn't stop them from trying as the man was definitely just going to make the situation worse Mina had turned her acid' acidity up a notch before sprinkling only a tiny bit on the man's arms this thankfully got his attention enough to almost drop them immediately before he could yank momo from her position at the same time, Kirishima's red riot: adaptable had suddenly absorbed himself almost directly into the man before appearing up near his upper back, Darkshine had instantly looked towards his arm and noticed that his tanned skin was completely gone, he was in utter disbelief and completely jaw hung low in an almost silent scream , he looked towards Mina and the blotch of white on his hands once more but before anything else could happen as he simply dropped to his knees and Kirishima had emerged nearly half way out of his back almost like he was merged with the man himself.
Everyone froze and stared at the Darkshine/Kirishima fusion with spectacle.
"Kirishima what did you do?" Mina remarked as she went around to look at where they were fused and slightly winced as she saw the teen popping out almost like a massive zit on the man.
"I …I don't know…I wanted to make him stop and I guess this was how my quirk allowed me to do it." Kirishima remarked with a shrug but surprisingly instead of him shrugging his shoulder, it was Darkshine who shrugged, causing him to look upon himself completely surprised.
"Woah dude, did you like, take control of his body or something?" Kamianri asked.
"I….I guess so…" Kirishima remarked simply before raising the man on his feet, it took a moment as he was a bit wobbly but he managed and started to get the hang of it …or should he get the hang of it, he knew what he was doing was wrong, even in the heat of the moment it still was wrong but with what was happening at this very moment maybe they could use a little wrong.
"Guy's the large groups almost here. We need to be ready, "Sero announced overhead.
"Ok! We're going to be!" Kirishima replied.
"Kirishima…you're not going to…"Mina asked, Kirishima hesitated for one moment before nodding his head.
"I am… I'm sorry Darkshine…but we need the extra muscle." Kirishima replied simply before moving Darkshine's body and getting up and moving towards the front line.
The group had prepared as much as they could for the upcoming storm of monsters, momo had managed to create five more assault drones and five more heavy drones she could have created some more but that was when the arguments and things transpired halting her progress and forcing her to concentrate even more on keeping the brave giant mech around but she remarked that she would be able to once everyone had stopped talking and move away from her, of course, she said it politely but the message was definitely for them to scram and leave her in peace which they did, they assigned Shoji to guard over her along with Aki, the large bear creature was strong so they had no worries and koda would be helping them out in other ways during the fighting in the first place.
As the large horde of monsters came towards them the first line of defense was Momo's machines they could see accurately in the darkness before all of them and they had the double approach of seeing if they could see the exact number of creatures there were which came around to a whopping 300 of them, Sero commented on how it should have been the reverse of the situation if history had taught him anything and Kaminari corrected and remarked that more like the movie which the tape boy couldn't disagree with.
The robots immediately began to open fire among the flock of monsters blasting away at their numbers with bullets and bombs the black hord continued to charge forth nonetheless almost completely undaunted by the withering storm, they continued to progress at a slow pace before they had eventually managed to reach the machines and completely overwhelm them before self destructing and taking out plenty of them in the process, the numbers that the machines had indicated at first had continued to fluctuate higher than lower then the original 300 hundred number indicating that a number of them had actually been more and just inside of the other, despite that the group continued to fight their next layer of defense was an invisible trap that hung up overtop of the creature this was full of Mina's acid cranked up to the max, before dropping it spread out over the coming horde killing the ones landing on instantly before splashing out wards and killing or severely hurting others nearby, Sero join in the mix as well creating as much tape in his tape index and sending it out to against the flocks of black monster but cutting the cretaure mainly just caused it to start to split more and more, this was also joined in by both aoyama who also laid down fire amongst the large group of black creatures heading towards them with his navel laser using his supermove supernova to cut swaths across their rams not allowing them time to split on some occasions but the creature startd to come in even faster than before
Their numbers had barely shrunk as they did so but they had come into their third line and last line of defense this one being mineta, he laid out a minefield of pop-off orbs scattered about that trap numerous of the small monster that allowed them an easier time to pick off with their ranged fire, adding into this mix was an even large swathe of insects that had started to attack the creatures from both land and air that shortened their number at least a little bit but they continued to charge forth against them, the hundreds number had barely fallen since the initial count but it was a least smaller than 300 of them left, the next option was just to engage them in close quarters combat which was headed by the Darkshine and Kirishima fusion, along with both Sato who had swallowed 5 sugar pills, and Ojiro who was in his sage state. The Darkshine fusion landed with a hard impact whipping out dozens of the Black Sperms with a single drop kick before continuing against the horde Ojiro's and Sato's job was to keep the Black Sperm away from Kirishima which was vulnerable on the back of Darkshine and support him the best way they could, Toru was hanging out with Sero above she would have liked to fight down they're by Ojiro side like before but she was in a support role this time using her light manipulations her entire goal was to use a mass light redaction on all of the Black Sperms cells that close by their hand to hand team or those that had bypassed them in trying to attack the ranged individuals.
Kirishima kept a close eye on everything happening around him, he was still trying to get used to moving Dakrhine around a bit but it became evident that he didn't need too much instruction to just throw his muscle around as the monster simply evaporated upon touching his skin as he moved the punches that the Black Sperms did manage to land on him were harmless did did no damage to Darkshine he could barely feel it, but he did feel something else, every punch thrown almost made his consciousness slip further and further into Darkshine the man was scared and his power didn't completely get rid of his conscious or put him to sleep like he imagined it had. He was so scared despite what he could see his body doing or the fact that he wasn't taking any damage from the creatures he was still afraid of them all, as his consciousness started to fall inwards he started to see it, he saw what was wrong with him…Darkshine you're cracked.
Within Darkshine's subconscious
Kirishima continued to fight absentmindedly as his mind sank into the thoughts and memories of the man he was controlling he saw how he originally was and how scrawny of a person he was originally before he started his training and training gaining this super body that he believed that he could do anything with that was until the first major setback that he found it was him fighting against flash for the first time and then being easily defeated, it was the first time he sat in contemplations and almost completely blocked out that memory and now it explained his reaction to the question from before, the next crack was against bang the man was't hurt by the man but that was simply because the man didn't want to and he realized that he was holding back on him, just like how it was with the next crack which was Midoriya they were nearly as strong as each other he was even stronger before but again that was when Midoriya was holding back he felt the man's bitterness his anger for his classmate, there was a small crack dealing with the dog creature from the raid before the next thing happened a huge cracked occurred with Silver Chain he tried his best but the girl had beat him but the joy of being alive counter most of the doubt he had within himself but with that feeling came the opposit feeling of FEAR of the battle on the horizon.
He felt it his fear and thoughts of his body not being enough for the battle and the final nail in the coffin was his loss to garou but more importantly, talking with Garou, he realized he wasn't a hero and he realized what he always wanted in life, he fully understood now and he was much the same way, he could feel Darkshine so he was sure Darkshine could feel him as well, he could have been just like him once upon a time, soon after he uncovered his unbreakable form he thought that he was invincible and nothing could hurt him but that soon after with only one punch was all it took to completely break him like it was nothing if it hadn't been for his teacher that was with him he would imagine that he would be like he was just right now thinking back to how he was young and pitiful but his word spoke to me, he told me.
"You've got to be unbreakable! If your spirit breaks too, then you're really done for! Eliminating villains is all about making them lose the will to fight as quickly as possible "
I took that and got up again, Darkshine your spirit is cracked but it is NOT completely broken. You can rise again from this before it is too late, I could feel the ANGER locked behind the fear of tank top master's death. You're still a good person that would help people if they called for you. Do you think you're not fit to be a hero because of your fear? Well, that's not true, all of us are scared, my idol, someone I even named myself after "Crimson Riot" said villains and death are both terrifying but there was something even scarier and that was just the final expressions of the dead, and the torment of failing to save them was even worse. Do you think you can't be a hero because you don't have a dedicated sense of justice and were in it mainly to only make yourself feel better? Well, my best friend is very much the same way, he wants to be the number one hero so badly he's obsessed with being Strong and being the VICTOR probably more than he does about helping people and I still think he's an awesome hero so you can be a hero too! Be a hero to yourself, you proved to yourself when you were weak that you can become strong and that hasn't been taken away from you now you can make another bet with yourself to become even stronger and to keep improving! When I was cracked I rebuilt myself to be better and you can do the same!
As Kirishime fought his coordination and speed got better and better, Darkshines inhibitions had started to fade more and more before it seemed like they had become one , they moved with increased speed and resilience he saw Darkshine muscles even were hardened even more from what they were before and they crashed into the black hord wipping swarms of them out with just back swings their power definitely increased from the fusion and they were going to put it to good use before suddenly the dark creatures who had been so plentiful had started to disappear in massive group at a time, wind picked up as something blew past completely wiping out all of the Black Sperms in the area before it was revealed that the newcomer that had quickly finished up the remaining Black Sperms was none other than Silver Chain, Kirishima had unintendedly took a step towards the women this was a clear sign that Darkshine was ready to fight but he quickly told the man that she wasn't an enemy although that didn't stop him from taking a second step towards the women before he finally relented things had been bad tense for one moment before the sound of a large whirling machine started to come down.
It wasn't just any machine it was actually, the brave giant itself, causing everyone to look away for a moment before Kirishima turn back to find that Silver Chain was gone, the group all gathered back around and looked towards the machine, Kirishima had separated himself form Darkshine as they approached and apologies to the man but the man remarked that it was ok, before looking down at his arm and still seeing the block of white skin that was eliMinated by the pink girls acid, Kirishima noticed and also attempted to apologize for Mina but again the man simply waved him off and continued on along with the rest of them everyone gathered around the machine but what they thought would be joyus news, only turned out to be nothing but a horror story, as a five bodies laid down on the ground their bodies were covered in tape by Sero except for their heads well except one of them, who didn't even seem to have a head before, Kaminari had emerged from the the backpack of the large mech and was immediately pounced upo by mineta and Sero in a strong embrace happy that he was alive along with everyone else, in the group.
No one spoke about what had happened over there but they asked if the fighting was over Midoriya replied that it wasn't and that Atomic Samurai was still fighting the last enemy in the back, it was at that moment that Darkshine had flipped and said that he would go and back him up this drew a gasp of shock from everyone involved, the brave giant mech had almost rapidly shifted looking down at Darkshine, it's fist clenched with such speed and the given the quiet atmosphere the sound reverberated quite loudly in the amber scene.
"We could have used that courage an hour ago!" Child Emperor yelled at Darkshine through his mech, the mech completely for a very brief moment seemed to have flickered at an almost imperceptible level, Darkshine backed away for a moment but his face was still stone cold serious.
"I know…I know it isn't worth much now but I'm sorry…." Darkshine replied simply.
"Do what you want, you've been doing that enough already." Child Emperor responded simply with anger and sadness evident in his tone.
"Darkshine the enemy over this is stronger, even stronger than I am, are you sure you want to still go?" Midoriya asked, Darkshine cast a glimpse over to the dead bodies and then to Kirishima.
"I…..I don't want to see anyone else die today….Kirishima can you help me once more?" Darkshine spoke simply, Midoirya questioned what the man meant but Kirishima had already eagerly accepted and before he could interject with his own opinion on the matter he watched as the man fused in with a large man inside of the large man, mineta told him that, they would tell him about it later before Darkshine, unlike before where Kirishima had fully popped out of the man's back like a strange piggyback ride this time Kirishima took on the form of an unusually large muscle making the large man seemingly look like he had a hunched back.
Midoriya didn't quite get it but he could see it as Darkshine's hardened muscles gleaned in the night sky, he knew dark muscles were incredibly durable even at 100% he struggled to hurt him with Darkshine natural muscle, and Kirishima's hardening they could very well be unstoppable but they lacked one key ingredient so he laid a hand on the man shoulder and used gear shift to make him faster to the most possible he could, using it on two different individuals caused the strain to worsen but it would be worth it, he thought as he asked just one thing of Darkshine the same as he did before if the fighting was getting to be too much for them then he should take everyone and get to safety, he nodded and understood before taking his leave and walking and soon sprung ahead before making a large resounding boom as he leaped up and into the air to close in on the action.
Midoriya asked if there was any word of Bang or Bomb but all of the group simply shook their heads before they could, however, something, or rather someone had laid them both down, it was none other than Silver Chain, Bakugo had gone up to her and asked what had happened to them and she told them that everyone garou was the one that did so, she continued and remarked that he was headed over to the battlefield as well but not only that but flashy flash has finally made his appearance back on the surface as well.
The Final Skirmish
Garou vs metal bat and flashy flash, Platinum sperm vs Atomic Samurai and Unbreakable alloy Redshine
Both garou and Atomic Samurai apprised each other, the teen was more confused than he seemed but Atomic Samurai found something strange other than the teen's completely monstrous appearance which he sort of expected but no what was strange was the direction that the teen had come from.
"Where is bang and bomb?" Atomic Samurai asked.
"Bang?" garou asked mostly to himself rather than answering the hero's question, what had happened to him, not to mention his body; he doesn't even remember resurfacing from underground. He lost consciousness, was buried underground in the rubble, and then he was dreaming about the past before he could continue with his thoughts. His instinct told him to duck, knowing now never to doubt them he ducked just as another hero passed by him, landing down next to Atomic Samurai.
"You dodged it!?" Flashy Flash remarked surprised
"You! You're the S-rank hero, rank 13 flashy flash!? You're a hero, yet you try to sucker kick me like that?" garou asked
"Atomic what's the situation like? Where are the others? Is this the Monster Association boss? He sure made a mess of things." flash remarked and Atomic let out a soft and low chuckle.
"He didn't do this, that was Tatsumaki's doing, we already killed the boss, the others retreated for the moment but we suffered casualties; three of the S-class are dead." Atomic Samurai spoke
"I…see it seems I missed out on a lot, then who is this?" flash asked, pointing his sword toward the new arrival.
"Hah monster king eh? So he kicked the bucket huh? Unfortunately, I was hoping to settle scores with him as well, it doesn't matter, oh as for your question Atomic Samurai, Bang and his brother are both lying in a ditch over there so that brings your casualties up to five. As for you, you better remember this name well. My name is garou. I'm the one that's going to rise to disaster-level god and straighten this world out
"Garou? The human monster and hero hunter?" flash asked surprised.
"Just so you know, I've got nothing to do with the monster association. They can't fit me into that pathetic little box, y'know." garou remarked.
Just as he said that two resounding bangs slammed down as two dust clouds rose into the air, revealing two beings that seemed to have been locked in combat in the skies above.
"God you're an annoying human! How are you this strong!? " a voice spilled out over this landscape.
"I don't know, I'm just really pumped up on fighting spirit." metal bat replied simply as the dust faded the two of them realized the new arrivals each locking on to their respective allies.
"Garou, I heard what you said. It disappoints me that you have monsterized that much yet still don't have the courage to choose the side of monsters. For the moment I'll allow you to live however we can split the heroes two and two." platinum sperms spoke, causing everyone to look around with confusion.
"Hah! Did I hit you so hard that you're not even looking straight?" Metal Bat asked with a laugh.
"No." Platinum Sperms remarked simply before he dashed away as something large came slamming down right on top of where he once stood before appearing some distance away but across from garou himself.
They took stock of the new arrival which to Atomic's surprise was Darkshine. He looked somewhat different from the large hunchback he was supporting and his skin seemed to glisten in a red shine that flowed all along his muscles and bodies.
"Tch…I hope you don't plan on just crying and begging for us all to stop fighting. " metal bat remarked as he swung his bat over his shoulders and made his way over to the others.
"I…I'm here to make up for that mistake." Darkshine simply as he moved behind and tailed them.
"Just stay out of my way, I don't care about you for the moment, garou. Hey you, splatoon monster, I have a new sword that needs some testing." atomic commented
"There was one more left then? Thanks for coming out and saving me the trouble of searching for you." flash remarked simply.
"I'll take on anyone that wants a fight. Absolute evil is unbiased, y'know. Heroes, monsters, I slaughter every last one of them and rise to become the ultimate symbol of fear…disaster level god." garou said
Atomic Samurai focused his attention completely on the sun blade as the conversation had turned into arguments on who would fight who, garou had no interest in fighting people he's beaten before so he wanted to fight Flashy Flash and himself but he's made his opponent known and clear so he tuned him out. He concentrated on the sun blade the thoughts of his former teacher Nichirin telling him of its history a short time after they had come back from receiving it, the sun bad was technically alive or at very least telepathic it gauges its wielder power and it would only unsheath itself if the blade accepted the holder, at first he didn't believe such a thing should exist it sounded straight out of a fairy tale however holding it in his hands right tha i that moment he understood it now, the blade was searching deep within him searching for him gauging his worthiness. Please answer his call, what sort of blade are you, what sort of vessel will you lend your powers to?
At that moment what came across his mind? Was the master he considered as a rival, bang. If Bang's mentality could be seen as a water stream. Then the state of mind he had reached was a reflective water surface. Dispelling even the surface's explosive sounds. To that unparalleled level of concentration. The sunblade answered.
As the light emitted from the sun blade, the chainmail armor that was supported over Atomic Samurai's clothes brightened and harmonized with it, the mail grew brighter and linked together atomic cape flowed behind him the black atomic symbol was encircled by an even large golden atomic symbol behind it, he could feel the power flow through his body and every nerve and it seemed that everyone took this as the sign to officially start the fighting and the battle had commenced in earnest. The heroes dashed at their opponents with full speed and power, Atomic Samurai was a bit faster than platinum sperms had anticipated much faster than before at least as he just barely caught the blade that was inches from his face several slashes raked over his body and along the landscape completely cutting it to pieces, he couldn't have just gotten this strong from out of nowhere? Was this monsterization perhaps or something else? He said that he had a new blade. Was this new power it's doing? And that teen also offered him something or both of them did? The teen's abilities were a lot stranger than the other heroes so who knows what they could have done, it didn't matter however as this resistance was still futile as he wanted to grab the blade to snap it in half.
He reached out for the blade but hesitated for just a moment as he had to draw his hand backwards to stop the charging Darkshine, the blow was a bit stronger than he thought it would be but still not a problem for him to handle, but however his slightly lack of attention wasn't lost on the samurai, he felt the blade bite deeper into his arm that he blocked it with, drawing blood as he ripped the blade away and hoped to draw it right back in to severe the hand off at the elbow but he was faster than that and he immediately lashed out with a kick hopping to strike the man in the chest however the man's blade seemed to move on it's own to protect its master coming up and over the man chest in many layers canceling out his impact but the forced still sent the man spiraling backwards but he didn't care about that for the moment as he turned to focus on the big guy he was slower than all the rest of them but the big man's speed did surprise by how fast he was but he was still faster launching a punch directly to the man's head but to his utter shock that his hand actually hurt from punching the big behemoth in the face.
The shock completely allowed Darkshine's punch to land directly on his face causing him to stagger backward, the insolence of this wretched creature but he had not time to think about that as again he had to shift focus back to the rabid Atomic Samurai, he was able to pivot away from three of the man's rabid slashes before striking out with a punch of his own the blade again almost like it was sentient and shifted instead this time it did not go into protect it's master but attacking the blade bent around to directly target his fist, combined with his speed the blade easily entered into his hands and exited somewhere along his forearm, platinum sperms erupted in a shout of pain before coming in with a side kick that took directly to atomic's ribs he felt the effects almost immediately as two gave way before the man was sent darting backward blood gushing from his mouth as he went. He would have continued after him but a sudden charge from the back took him completely off guard as pain exploded from his back from the heavy hit.
He skidded across the ground for a moment before flipping up and completely coming to a standstill but he had no time for breaks as Atomic Samurai was on in that next instant, atomic slash but platinum sperm countered with his ability unscrupulous rotating defense platinum rings the two attacks clashed together thousands of strikes happening within in mere moments of the other, Atomic Samurai and the sword challenged platinum sperms head tentacle head on but each slash had been diverted or parried by the singular entity but atomic was adamant in continuing the strike wanting to cut something anything and the sword answered him it counters it's slashing mid-swing before he started, the defense and offense collide multiple more times but the blades would constantly directly go against the tentacles using it' rotation against it until finally, the head tentacle went flying off.
While an accomplishment this only managed to anger platinum sperm even more and the exertion had stretched Atomic to his limit as the the next strike came in directly under the man's chin to send his head flying just like the other sword idiot but his anger led for him to forget about the other fighter as he had managed to intercept it, the punch landed surely along his chest and again his fist screeched in pain from striking such a hard target was darkshine always this strong? Or was it something else that happened he didn't look normal and that red glow he was giving off was proof of that, the only positive was the man was slow he couldn't keep up with his speed, he easily sidestepped the punch the man through to get around to the squishy person he attempted to shield landing a solid punch that should have cave the man's head but that dam blade had wrapped around his arms and sent the punch into the wall of muscle behind him narrowly avoiding his head, the blade pulled back like a spiked lasso lacerating over his arms the entire time as it pulled backwards he flinched for only a moment before charging back with another punch that dumb sword won't save him this time, but the big man did, he switch their position around making him take the blow for him just like before but he continued the spin with another punch that he blocked with both of his hands he skidded for a couple of centimertes but managed to stop it but the large man turned the punch into a grab holding onto one of his arms as he pulled the other away.
Platinum sperms attempted to pull away twice but the grip was iron clad he know what the big man was trying to do as Atomic Samurai came from above him but he wouldn't be defeated so easily so he simply cut off his own arm off to avoid the slash from the man before rounding on him with a kick to the face of but he missed it as he was tossed high into the air by Darkshine, the large man stepped in and caught his now high leg before delivering a hard punch to his open gut, but he didn't let go of his leg as he continued to land punches down on top of him, the punches while they hurt wasn't anything he couldn't deal with the problem was getting the big goliath off of him, a full power punch to the man's face made him stagger backwards but he nearly shattered his hand from punching something that hard with that much force but he had his way of dealign with him as he sped past the goliath to slow to hit him before coming back in and slamming into his back, this got the disered effect as the man coughed in pain. He swung backwards after finally recovering but by that time he was already gone he dashed back and forth pacing around the man before coming back and slamming the man in the back, and stomach and ending it with a knee to the face causing a massive shockwave that finally knocked the big beast off his feet.
He used the man's body as a springboard and rocketed high up into the air and was about to come down hard on the man's head hopping to pop it like a watermelon but it was here he made his grave error, as someone else was in the air and coming down hard like a bright commit, Atomic Samurai came at him, platinum sperms wasn't bothered and was going to counter with a punch to the man's face he was clearly out of its debt and winded from just those initially blows but suddenly the man seemed to almost radiate a completely blinding light and his punch was halted almost imperceptibly by something that had clung along to his form.
Focused atomic slash
Knowing this was his last attack and wanting to avenge his fallen brethren Atomic Samurai wielded his body to slash faster than ever before in a more concentrated form combined with the powers of shining light and Gear shift bringing about a new move a more focused and concentrated atomic slash that was even faster than before, the attack shot out like a beam of light striking all over the monster's body the chance of blocking the numerous blade strike were impossible they consumed him all of him and completely shaved the being from existence. Atomic sheathed the blade as he began to fall, blood spurted from his mouth once more and his wrists were killing him but he had won, he avenged them he didn't expect to be so assimilated with the blade or for it to take up that much energy, he could barely move a muscle anymore, he knows that he was falling from pretty high up but he couldn't do anything to stop himself from slamming into the ground, he watched as a beam of light left from the spot, the form of some bird creature had reached out for him but it was moving away from him it couldn't catch him, he guessed that was what the raven boy gave him, huh well he had his thanks for the help before he blacked out and lost conscious as he continued to fall.
Darkshine groggily got up his head was completely killing him and he had to shake it several times before he could get a clear vision again, the giant burst of light above causing him to look up above, there was a small shadow in that light that started to fall to the earth and as they saw the glowing light begin to fly away Darkshine through Kirishima knew what had just transpired and forced his body to move, he jumped up and and caught the unconscious Atomic Samurai from out of the air and braced for the landing being careful not to strangle the man any further, there was no signs of the other being before the ground had started to shake a little further away, he had a choice to make now which was to get Atomic to safety or to help out the others in the fighting and leave atomic here and to that the option was clear he would first take Atomic back to get patched up he seemed to be in bad shape, before he could however Kirishima had simply popped out of him, Darkshine was confused but the time limit was up he had been using his quirk for 10 minutes straight now with nearly no breaks so he couldn't really use it anymore and that he was sorry but Darkshine remarked that it was fine and that he could tak Atomic Samurai back and he could go and look after the others but another massive rumble shook the area and suddenly Silver Chain appeared and remarked that she would take the two of them back, despite his misgivings he nodded and headed off in the directions of the next battle over.
Flash and Bad vs Garou
When the fighters had first made their dash forward toward the group, like garou had said he was more interested in Atomic Samurai and Flash than Darkshine and Metal Bat especially as his memories started catching up with him as he remembered what Darkshine had said to him before he beat him down, so he was interested and he heard that Atomic Samurai was the supposed to be the hero association strongest back up so he would want to see what that was about and the man just ignoring him got on his nerves so he dashed towards him with fully intent to knock that confidence and pride right off his face but things didn't go to plan when he was intercepted by Flashy Flash of all people the supposed fastest of the S-class had come at him with his sword hoping to decapitate him while his attention lied elsewhere but too bad for him, he was pretty fast himself.
He ducked the strike and lashed out with a kick the man had pulled his hand back to block the strike the forces still sent him skirting away into the dirt and ground he was about to turn his attention back to his other target but he was blindsided by a metal bat straight to his face, now his instincts had already told him something was coming his way and that was fine and he reacted appropriately quickly turning around to analyze the threat but…the threat was just so baffling that he couldn't make out what the hell he was seeing, it was metal bat coming at him jumping at him from mid-air and twisting around but he expected the bat to be in his hands not in between his thighs and this minor mistake and assumption caused his defenses the bat struck home sending him sliding backward and this was when the second surprise kicked in that fucking bat hurt really? After all he's been through and his body changes, was he just not that much stronger than he was before when he was a human? That's impossible. The only explanation now had to be the idiot's fighting spirit, so he asked the dumbass how long he's been fighting for and he responded predictably that he'd been fighting the entire day. So he guessed that made some sense
He didn't have any more time to process that as he had to dodge out of the way of Flash again, he accelerated faster than before and using the water stream he blocked diverted the two-pronged sword strike if he remembered the hero guide correctly could that have been his flashy slash? The man looked completely shocked so he might have been right on the money, he sped towards Flash with a sharp punch directly to the man's chin the man quickly swiveled out of the way of the attack spinning top slide he used the spin to transition into an attack for a horizontal slice to cut him in half but again he deflected the attack away from himself and stepping in with a strong punch to the man's gut making him cough up blood and slide back a couple of feet, this only allowed the bat swinging weirdo to jump right back into the fray he had caught him off guard last time but this time he was sure to be prepared for his weird ass attack but again the bat was in a different portion of his body this time under his freaking armpit, the man didn't swing his body around this time simply using the bat as a spear to hit him directly in the chest forcing him back a bit.
A pain shot through his chest but he used the proximity to grab ahold of the pompadours shirt and head-butt him staggering him backward and allowing him to land a few follow-up jabs and punches ending with a kick to the jaw that sent him spiraling backward but even in getting his ass kicked he did not relent, the man wacky fighting style seemed even crazier as he was flying backward he was able to land an attack against him on the chin as his bat was attached to his feet like it was heels, the force of the blow snapped his head upwards but he shot it right back down in time to block another sword strike from flashy flash, he grabbed the edges of the sword as he sidestepped the thrust before applying pressure upon either side of it eventually until he broke it, garou would have thought that the hero would have been disheartened by that but in actuality, the man was just completely furious as he rocketed towards him even faster bare-handed.
Flashy fist
The first attack had managed to land as garou was taunting the blonde-haired ninja garou was rocked backward from the force of a couple of the blows but he got his bearing and quickly deflected the attacks away from himself striking him with two open palm strike directly to the chest, the man coughs up more blood and got down to a knee from the damage it was an internal strike but Flash still had anger in his eyes as from that kneeling position he continued to come at him this time throwing out a barrage of rapid kicks, maximum speed flashy kicks garou was prepared to deflect and dodging out of the way of the barrage however they both had to move out of the wave as metal bat slammed down upon them creating a massive crater as the man finally held the bat the correct way to deliver an overhead strike that missed given how telegraphed it was. Garou had jumped backward from the strike but had no time to rest as the teen came rushing at him again head first garou met the challenge head-on, he scanned the teen's body once more and deduced that the bat was located in his right hand and as predicted a right swing was incoming he dodged out of the way of the swing but still got hit by something as he dodged causing him to tilt backward he peered at the teen attempting to see what trick he was using and to his surprise the man's bat was simply standing straight up from his elbow before he took it up.
He was going to say something but flash had came back for more this time from above, the blow that metal bat did had sent several rocks spiraling into the air and he used this as a rocking pad to slam downright on top of him, dragon thrust kick garou who was busy examining what metal bat was doing could only block the strike as flash got their, the attack launched him backwards over the water and he stabilized as he dashed back to the shore however there was no need Flash met him out over the water, the two of them traited blows punches and kicks as they skated across the ocean every clash sending geysers skyrocketing high into the air, garou for a moment thought that Metal Bat wouldn't have been joining them in this little adventure but he should have known better when considering that man and his fighting spirit, he unlike him and flash however that skillfully dances across the waters surface with their footsteps keeping light and fast enough to almost make it look like they were walking on water he was burte forcing it through and through every step he took through up water left an entire wave moved everywhere he did, the only caveat to this was that he couldn't stop and turn on a dime and whatever freaky fighting style the guy had created was limited to to his upper body as his legs were completely busy trying to prevent him from sinking down into the ocean like a rock.
As Flash and he continued to clash over the open ocean, the two were forced to separate as the man came speeding through slamming down his bat causing a massive wave of water to completely separate the both of them and it almost was about to tip over a cruise ship that had been nearby, Flash had stabilized the ship by launching off of it sending the ship skirting backward before and him directly at Garou, Garou was ready but he was slightly surprised when the man had simply moved past him hoping to block his vision with his misty mantle before appearing towards his left his hands spun in on themselves and launched out at him falling moon palm Garou countered by reversing rotating his own hands and clashing against the man once more. He was shocked again before the three of them began to clash along the water, once more but garou tiring of the seas ever took the battle back to land.
There it seemed that flash accelerated even more flowing water feet and Metal Bat was right there with him, this had seemed to distract the man as his complete attention was stolen by the teenager allowing garou to deliver a snap kick right to his unprotected jaw causing him to flick backward, before forcing him to block a finally regular strike that Metal Bat did before returning the force doubled with his perfect counter sending him flying back with blood pouring out of his face as well. Garou looked at the heroes and exhaled a single breath, flash seemed to stare daggers at both him and the teen if he had to guess what got the man so angry was that for someone to specialize in speed to be equal and surpassed must be a major blow, especially for someone like that, that he likely found massively beneath him, so he was trying his hardest to show he was superior by taking him on by himself not once had the two thought of working together, in fact, he probably heard them talking more of just getting out of each other's way or being nearly on the verge of infighting then working together to beat him, huh so this was what happened when flashy flash was disheveled huh? Just an insecure little man masquerading as a hero, just like Darkshine.
He told the man such and this only served to get him even more angered to charge at him, metal bat was not far behind, the three of them clashed along the earth creating massive divots into the earth, brief bouts in the sky, and back over the sea, Garou prowess continued to increase.
He could feel it, he was getting close to perfecting his own technique, not water stream rock smashing fist, not whirlwind iron cutting fist, not exploding heart release fist, not tiger fang true fist, not purgatory abyss fist, not lake-breaking ice river fist, not fools path mountain range fist, not ultimate fist of yatagarasu, not pressure point killer fist, not poisonous orge fist, not lone fist of prosperity, through battle he's absorbed them all, into his own technique. Since it's connected to disaster-level "god" he'll name it monster calamity god fist, NO wait. Monster calamity god slayer fist…in order to dominate this world as absolute evil and beat down humanity into an abyss of despair, something as unreliable as "god" shall be crushed by his hand as well
Just as he thought that he launched out a devastating attack towards both heros that flung both of them backwards however metal bat recovered faster than flash did and dashed right back at him and flash not wanting to be outdone continued on as well as the battle continued two of the individuals continued to get get stronger and faster leaving that one individually behind, Garou had actually been disappointed by flash the man had gone into some type of desperation mode his attacks left to many opening and were too eager to get at least one hit in, despite the hard head heeded idiot he had to admit if he were to compare which of them pose the bigger threat it was definetly metal bat which defitnetly he would have never thought that in a million years but here he was, he got another lucky hit on him thanks to Flash and at that point Garou had enough and speed towards flash quicker than before taking the fast hero by surrpsie and hitting him with a dual fist strike directly to his chest taking the man off his feet before an downwards elbow strike to the top of his head which completely blew him backwards and making him skiding deeper into the ground before coming to a solid stop, he did not rise again and it was then and their which left only the two left.
Metal bat went over towards the down hero and moved him around a bit with his bat but the man was truly unconscious. Metal Bat and garou locked eyes against each other, metal bat was about to offer to take the fight elsewhere however it seemed to be no need as none other than Darkshine had made his appearance known, the man had notably looked more normal than he was before.
"Oh? Where's Atomic Samurai?" garou asked
"H- he unable to fight anymore, so I sent him back with the others." Darkshine stuttered for a moment before sucking in a breath and speaking normally again.
"So what? Are you going to try to join in? I already beat you before when I was still human, you wouldn't last a chance as I am now." garou commented.
"I….My heart wasn't in it before but….I agree with that…Metal Bat, I'll take Flash and get him back to the others if you think you can handle him on your own that is, I'll support you if you need it." Darkshine remarked in an attempted brave voice as he looked down towards the defeated flashy flash on the ground before looking at the teen, his jacket was completely gone and his legs and shirt were torn to pieces the teen looked at him and shook his head he used his bat to pick flash up before throwing him and Darkshine caught him.
"Nah, I got this on my own, I can't have this guy crying unfair once I beat him to a pulp." Metal Bat remarked.
"Hah! You beat me have you seen the condition you are in?" garou commented.
"These wounds are nothing? My fighting spirit has never burned brighter." Metal Bat responded simply and while not prompted Darkshine took the hint and started to walk away with Flashy Flash in tow.
"What's with that ridiculous fighting style anyway?" garou questioned now that they had time to talk.
"Hah! That it's what I call garou pummelling, I invented it just for you and your pesky martial arts, once I beat you then that means I beat Bang as well…I'll drag your sorry ass back to him as proof that I surpassed him and his stupid martial arts!" Metal Bat declared.
"Huh I'm surprised that someone like you went and prepared for me, you didn't seem like the type although your "garou pummeling" is just swinging your bat with more steps so maybe that prepared isn't quite the right phrase as for Bang didn't you hear what I said earlier? He's dead." garou commented.
"I heard what you said, but you're just a shit liar. Now enough talk come on!" Metal Bat replied.
"Have it your way then!" garou responded simply as he dashed towards Metal Bat and the other teen did the same.
The two collide going even faster than before smashing and bashing into the landscape and dancing across it, garou had the distance advantage of using his accuracy to dash around the rocks that had been flung into the air before coming down with dive kicks or behind the mad swinging teen, the two continued to battle it out and garou continued to refine his technique despite the teen's bravado in terms of the exchange for every dozen of hits he would be able to land against him, he would only be able to land four or so in return but no matter how strong he continued to get the swings hurt but the pain was something Garou was used to, the two teens continued to trade blows and continued to get stronger if everything was even this fight might have continued for likely an eternity but there had lied a crucial difference and this difference was their bodies.
Garou monster body had continued to adapt and strengthen with him while Metal Bat's body and his improvement was only towards his strength the more damage he sustained would eventually get to him and he would begin to slow but Garou did not have this problem, so as the dozens turned to hundred and thousands of blows the odds were never in doubt and garou knew this now it was just a matter on how much this supposed fighting spirit could keep the teens body moving, Garou was using the time to perfect his fist continuously working and thinking it over every blow sustained was seen as an imperfection that he could fix and iron out, cause, reason, and effect that he would compensate for by the time next hit landed against him. he continued to improve more and more and before long he finally did it, he perfected his fist but before the last blow could be struck that he was going to use to end the fight once and for all, the ground started to rumble and shake before the earth beside them completely erupted and a massive , hulking figure completely shot up through the landscape a large spear in it's mouth that it crushed with it's two incisors causing it to rain down below.
As he could see the creature finally on he realized that it was another giant centipede, this one might have been the boss of the other he guessed based on the sheer size of it as he tore a rock that came at him, he looked towards metal bat and was about to say that, they would have to put their battle on pause to take the creature out however as he looked towards metal bat and was about to say that they would likely have to put their battle on hold but stopped himself when he was shocked from what he saw the man was unmoving and his eyes were completely glazed over his shirt was in tatters but the bat stays firm in his grip upright and ready to swing but there was nothing behind those eyes that resembles a conscious human being, how long was he fighting him for while unconscious? He gave a soft chuckle that fighting spirit was something else. A rock was headed directly his way but it was split in half by someone else.. A new individual had approached the unconscious man tentatively briefly touching him and for that transgression, the unconscious did one more swing that completely obliterated that person into a cloud of grey dust but that seemed to be it as the teen fell over but that same instant the person arrived again, he guessed the other had been a clone.
Garou questioned who the person was, he didn't care about what happened to Metal Bat but someone just scavenging bodies didn't sit right with him the stranger who was tall and drabbed in a ninja attire didn't offer her name only that his true opponent has arrived ad if he would be able to beat him then he would be the strongest before picking up the man and leaving, he was confused by that but had no time to pay attention to it as the giant centipede drowned out all other thoughts.
"Insolent tiny humans! Hear me! I have been sent here to destroy the abominable fist that's turned against god! By the incarnation of our father, the earth! Suffer divine retribution and destruction!
"How about no!" garou remarked about to dive for the creatures head first but he heard something off into the distance and that something came in fast and hard and beat him to it, he heard something yell or maybe it was the thing that had came in but all he heard was.
"This is for my house!" before the thing that he was jumping towards simply disappeared and a shockwave sent him spiraling off into the air, the only thing garou could think was What the hell just happened?
Rear Guard
Everyone waited in the back with baited breaths as they saw and felt the impacts of the battles happening over in the distance midorya had been usinghis mask which thanks to a couple of upgrades now doubled as an oxygen mask which somewhat offset the down sides of his gearshft quirk and allowed him to sustain it for much longer periods of time which he was definitely needing for the moment, when the bright light completely llit up the sky and what seemed like a ray of the sun came down from the sky everyone was on edge for what happened when shining light had returned to Tokoyami their had been a rapid spur of questions for the individual and after everyone had managed to settle down he explained to everyone that Atomic Samurai and darkshine had won their battle which every whooped and praised at but the problem lied in the man was currently falling from the air without a way to slow himself and he explained that he was pretty banged up when he doing so, he feared for him dying from the fall however Silver Chain remarked that she would go get him and vanished without a trace.
She came back a moment later along with Kirishima in tow Mina immediately went up and hugged him for being ok, he explained a bit of the battle and what happened with dakrshine, the blows and fighting got even worse from before geyser of dirt and water skyrocketing into the air kilometers high and rumbles shaking the entire area for several moments like there had been several magnitude 10 earthquakes happening concurrently sooner later darkshine arrive with a shocking site with none other than flashy flash, which shocked even Child Emperor and zomebieman but the fighting had still been happening so they asked who as fighting and they were again surprised when the man admitted that metal bat was the fighting garou still. the fighting continued and the vibration and shockwaves continued to get worse and worse that it was almost impossible to think about being in the epicenter of such a clash.
When the fighting had gone silent for the moment they had believed all was calm however this was just the calm before the storm as it seemed the very earth began to shake before something hugely massive had come out of the ground completely it was herculean in size it was completely baffling to everyone but in that next moment, another surprising discovery was held as a closer sound penetrated their ears the thump, thump thump, thump, thump.
Which could only, mean one person was upon them, and coming out of a dark alleyway was the strongest man king, he barely had a moment to say high before he was simply hoisted up into the giant arms of Child Emperor's brave giant mech and the man started to fly into the air towards the hulking centipede the child's voice came out a bit angry and happy at the same time.
"King! I don't know where you have been or what you were doing all this time but my earpiece seemed to have been correct you were exactly in the position it said you were, I won't ask you why or how but you must have been conserving your strength right!? That's why you waited in the back for this final boss! You should have told me you sensed something of this magnitude but maybe you thought that we would get cold feet I can't blame you but now is your time to unleash your power. The ultimate purgatory hellfire burst wave motion cannon quick!" the robot shouted so loud that despite the distance he had taken king they could hear the boy shout out of his mech loudspeakers which caused another partial flicker of reality strikes the mech, everyone was hopeful that the man would do wonders however mineta was just full of deep loathing, that supposed special move was just from some mech game now that he thought about it.
he remembered playing that mecha game with the man and he received a phone call just as he yelled out that suer move to defeat the final boss. He told him that the phone call wasn't important so he didn't ask for details but now he could see that it was Child Emperor on the line instead. Was he asking for help and he just ignored him to play more video games? He ground his teeth just at the thought as he looked down at the five dead bodies below him. Real heroes had put their lives on the line and Pershined continued to play the hero even Darkshine whom he was also partially mad against still came through to bring Flash to safety what had brought this man back to them he wondered? Well it was in luck that he did now he would have to face the music once he did nothing to the large monster it would all be up he would have to come clean no other way about it, mineta thought with some hints of smugness but another group of arrivals completely took his attention away from them
King was completely panicking he at first thought that he would take shelter in Saitama's place but when all the rumbling had started he thought that being inside of a buildingwasn't the best place to be so he decided to evacuate, he tried to follow what he could remember i case of earthquakes which was to get into a open space with away from practically anything that could fall on him so he started his search narrowly avoiding several collapses by the skin of his teeth before finding a large divot in the earth that stretched for what seemed like about 100 meters the ground seemed like it was burned but by that point it had cooldown and had maid for the perfect place to stay low and away from everything, he attempted to get away but then he found himself stuck with a barrier inn the way unable to get free or escape he guessed the safefest place to be was next to the teens so he took his earpiece and looked for where they were and started his journey down towards that way, he had cold feet as he continued to move but he would rather face being a fake then dying from some random attack.
King did not expect to just straight up be yoinked into the air without much of a saying in the matter and presented towards some huge monster like an appetizer his heart was pounding in his chest and he could barely hear but the ultrasound coming off the robot was clear as day wanting him to use his special move against the creature, he had no such thing if he didn't know that but at this point, he had nothing more too loose as the monster seemed to face him and bellowed a large war cry denouncing of all humanity and it's destruction it was then that king knew that despite everything he needed to do something or else he would be a target standing out in the middle of the air like this, so he put both of his hands out and yelled.
" ultimate purgatory hellfire burst wave motion cannon quick HYA!" King yelled but he was the only one paying attention as Child Emperor's attention was taken elsewhere.
"It seems that his costume is still operational I'm surprised given the state I last saw it in." Child Emperor's vocal receptor picked up a familiar voice and at that he completely took his eyes off the massive enemy and down below to the others once more keeping his hand straight out so king could get a good shot at the monster but his full attention was below, he couldn't believe what he was seeing when the cadre Phoenix-Man was still alive and well but before he could say anything about that there was a massive shockwave and booming explosion that drew his attention back to the front, the giant centipede that had been flying high into the air was suddenly gone, the flakes of its shards started to fly over the distance, he looked down at King he seemed to have exerted a lot of energy to do just that, he couldn't blame the guy that centipede was massive even bigger than elder centipede or maybe even the entire continent if the large drops in the water were anything to go by.
With the threat vanquaished he slowly returned back down towards the group , each of them were as equally stunned by the new arrivals despite not being hostil to each other but the atmosphere was completely tense as Child Emperor dropped king off, Phoenix Man arrived with Silver Chain and the other team, they explained that their mission was a success and how they had told Saitama of the battle and he had made his way here, mineta who had continually watched the king and the brave giant in the air had been completely shocked by the monster sudden dissaperacne and initially thought that king had been lying to him about lying and how he may have been so great that he could feel his potential and needed just that little push to be able to awaken his inner power but after being told that Saitama had been told and was on his way to the location everything had been put in place for him, it wasn't king that destroy the beast but Saitama, while everyone praised the man, he could only shake his head at the display before turning his attention back to everyone else.
The class was finally all together again and shared in a large embrace, however, this was in complete contrast to the samurai disciples who were all in a panic first for their master nearly bulldozing Sero out of the way in their rapid dash to see if he was ok, the man had three fractured ribs and both of his wrists were dislocated but it wasn't something that he wouldn't be able to heal from, although that also meant for the next couple of day's he wouldn't be able to swing a sword around or at least initially that would be the case of normal modern day medicine that was but they did have a different option before that could be met Silver Chain's clone arrived with a heavily injured metal bat in her care. She told them all that Saitama had indeed entered the battlefield and that he was about to engage Garou, Bakugo remarked that Momo could stop concentrating on using the brave giant mech and the girl did so almost immediately causing Child Emperor to yip in surprise as he fell from his height that was in the cockpit before being caught by zomebieman, Momo was so exhausted from the effort that she had to be caught by Todoroki to prevent her from just dropping towards the ground, he held on to her and put his cold side on her head to cool her off as she snuggled into him. Zombieman put Child Emperor down and everyone just stared at the two monsters that had stood there staring at the two of them.
"I see that you have wounded and casualties present." Phoenix Man spoke.
"Let me guess already how this is going to go, You going to want something to help us," Zombieman replied.
"Smart Man! Exactly! So if you want my assistance In revving and healing your wounded comrades then I require some guarantees for me and my associate here." Phoenix Man spoke before pointing a finger up behind him to Silver Chain who sat off to the side.
"She not in the same league as you are, she was a mole for us." Bakugo replied.
"Oh? Is that right? That would explain how you all were able to get to the kid so fast but did she also tell you that, she was the one responsible for sending Saitama away?" Phoenix Man remarked.
"Speaking of the man, do you think it's wise to just let him fight garou alone? King took out that massive centipede but garou was able to take out both Flash and Metal Bat." Child Emperor asked Zombieman.
"He'll be fine." King has replied hoping to ease the child's worries with his own words.
"If his opponent is only Garou then I'm sure he will be, he did defeat the monster king orochi after all." Phoenix Man spoke and this garnered a bunch of confused looks.
" lying right now isn't the wisest thing if you want us to trust you, we saw the orochi today fought against him." Zombieman spoke.
"The keyword being defeat not kill." Silver Chain spoke up.
"Yes he defeated the monster king, I would have loved for him to have killed the monster but alast it wasn't meant to be, the man was so strong that he not only defeated him with no effort whatsoever he made him play dead …the fear was fairly evident on him and all of us, all the cadre were there but after that display we did not dare attack him even together, during that time Gyoro-Gyoro was going to switch up the plan maybe even postpone all of this from happening in the first place but guess who convinced him to go through with it by getting rid of this strong adversary? " Phoenix man remarked before doing a glance to his side along with all the other heroes present to the girl in question. she wasn't focused on any of them as her eyes were hard to focus on the unconscious form of flash.
The scene finally carried on when another clone simply dropped down in the midst of them but what shocked the disciples at least was that she was carrying zanbai head in her hands, the disciples were about to make a move against the monster's clone but midoirya blackwhip halted their movements and the clone had gone to lay the head down next to the body from which it belonged to before returning back to her original body before where it joined back up with it.
"Right, my power still doesn't work on those without a head nice catch silver." Phoenix Man commented.
"I will not make any excuse for the part had to play with what's happened here which is part of the reason why I have brought him forward as a manner of atonement, he has already revived tank top master." silver remarked simply.
"And made him his puppet. Don't be fooled he may have the power to revive others but they are completely at his whim he could use it to strike from within when we least expect it." Iaian was quick to interject.
"Ah yes, about that…Child Emperor how about you slap yourself for me?" the Phoenix Man spoke with a snap of his fingers, at everyone turned their attention towards the child prodigy in question, the child prodigy took a deep breath and sighed before lifting part of his shirt and there it showed off to everyone the scar along his chest.
"Wait? Since when?" Zombieman questioned completely shocked and almost angry sounding.
"Since my first fight with him." Child Emperor remarked simply.
"But see how he didn't follow my commands at all? Silver Chain as well I don't control any of them but my power lasts even after my death." Phoenix Man spoke out.
"You seem pretty alive for a supposed dead man" Genos spoke up he was perched up down next to a building watching the situation unfold.
"Yes and for that, I do have Drive Knight to thank I have been resurrected, I learned something about myself from this experience which is why I'm more than willing to offer once I revive your compatriots to kill me, as long as you agree to my terms that is." Phoenix Man replied smugly….there was a moment of silence before as the heroes stared at each other, Jackie for what it was worth contested that she too was not under the monster's control anymore which added some more level of thought to the problem.
"So what are your terms?" Zombieman finally asked.
"Simple a pact you could say, I don't bother you or cause any harm to others and you cause no harm to me, allow me to live life in peace." phoenix-man remarked plainly.
"Hard to prove that you did not harm when you can revive and heal people." Zombieman remarked
"Heh well I guess you going to have to trust me or do you not care for your friends here?" phoenix-man spoke simply as he gestured to the five dead bodies on the ground.
However it wasn't zomebieman that had spoken up, it was Atomic Samurai the man had made managed to scramble up to his feet, using his sword as a cane walking up close to the monster before standing up completely e unsheathing his sword which seemed to indicate his answer however everyone was surprised by what the man did next which slit his hand before holding it out for the monster to grab,
"I promise on my honor as the leader of the council of sword to not cut you down unless you deserve it." atomic spoke simply the monster seeing what the man did mirrored the gesture with his opposite hand before shaking.
"Well you will never have to cut me down then." Phoenix Man remarked before he flashed a light and nearly instantly Atomic Samurai's wounds had started to heal, he tested himself out slashing his sword a couple of times and flexing his body, before turning towards the monster and looking down at the bodies, phoenix man proceeded forwards and bent down before touching each of the sword masters, slowly but surely each of them had started to heal their injuries almost completely the older gentlemt even grew a new half to himself, zanbai had his head reattach to his body and all three councils of sword stood up once more confused Atomic Samurai move the group posse away and would explain what had happened at a later time before the attention was put on the phoenix again.
"Hurry up and heal the rest of them," Zomebieman remarked.
"I'm waiting…" Phoenix Man remarked.
"Huh, fine If you don't do anything no harm will come for you." Zombieman replied before looking down at Child Emperor.
"As long as you agree to be at least partially monitored." Child Emperor said.
"That seems agreeable." Phoenix Man replied as he looked over the other's bodies he came to Puri-Puri Prisoner and revived him his body slowly repairing itself before his eyes opened up but when his time came to sweet mask there was a pause there, the man despite having a gaping hole in his chest and his face smashed in he wasn't dead?
"Wait how is-"
Wait! Don't say anything! About sweet mask please it is rather personal.
Phoenix Man had suddenly heard in his head, he looked up and directly at the mutants as they called themselves now he knew the S-class couldn't have such an ability before he looked back down and pressed both of his hands into the shape of a triangle dragging the source of that voice into his phoenix space.
"So you were the source of that voice in my head, what's this about Sweet Mask, how is he still even alive, hurry this place has an alternate state of time than outside but it still moves." Phoenix Man spoke to the taller boy of the mutants the one with the horn on his head.
"Well, well …it's just that sweet mask is a monster but only a few people know about it and he doesn't want others to know." koda replied, he instantly released the dimension before looking back down at the person in question.
" what's the hold-up? Is his brains too smashed for revival?" Zombieman spoke.
"No, that's why I was surprised he must have a really hard head." Phoenix Man spoke before touching the person and speeding up his regeneration. With that out of the way, he started to heal everyone else that was injured from the fighting except the demon cyborg as his powers don't work on machines although he was curious if he could return his body to his physical form if he touched his brain before it died completely the cyborg refused to try to test that theory and he was fine as is.
Once everyone was up again that only one thing left to do and the monster simply waited down for someone to kill him, and the person to take that mantle would be Atomic Samurai. Who stepped up before him before him?
"I guessed I'll have to break that vow at least this time around." atomic remarked
"Unfortunately however I think this would be the most humane death instant, not literally laughing myself to it…. Besides this was also a part of the deal in the first place" Phoenix Man remarked sending a glare towards Child Emperor before returning back to Atomic Samurai.
"Alright, catch you around then Phoenix Man." Atomic Samurai remarked, before bringing his sword down on top of the creature head cutting it off, the monster's head didn't even reach the ground before it started to evaporate into pure light before dashing off upwards in a large collum of light.
"I'll go to ensure that he doesn't get into any more trouble." Silver Chain remarked before taking her leave as well, so there sat all of the S-class, mutants, and council of swords they discussed briefly the events that had been transpiring and what their next steps should be. Until Iain raised a point against Sweet Mask claiming him to be a murder.
The meeting: Saitama VS Garou
Saitama had made his way over to Z-city with a slow jog, he didn't like the idea of starting to pay rent or the fact that he might get invited from whatever reinventions that the group the girl told him about was making but then he had the thought that maybe this group was attempting to stop the flow of power to the area? He always wondered why his utilities and electricity still function inside of the abandoned city but they always told him never to look a gift horse in the mouth his parent would always so he would take it but that would mean he was not going to have any power for his room which was horrible so maybe the monster was doing him a favor for once but still he was a hero so hero needed to deal with them before so that no one got hurt so he increased his jog into a brisk run and got there fairly quickly, upon looking a the damage done to the ghost town, however, he immediately made a B-line straight for his home. He got there in an instant and he was completely shocked by what he saw or more of what he didn't see the entire thing was completely gone, nothing was there like it was carved out of the ground making him angry, where the hell was the monster that did this before he felt he ground shake and something huge rise from the ground which most have been what destroyed his house, so he dashed forwards directly at the monster to get revenge for destroying his house.
Series Series: Serious Punch
The punch impacted and completely blew the monster to smithereens blasting the scales of its body flying every which way but Saitama didn't care about that and despite vanquishing the monster he was still upset that his house was gone didn't that girl say that she would ensure that it wouldn't be harmed? Tch this is probably why they say to never trust an agent he said glumly as he landed down on the ground once he did so however he found that someone or something else was there with him.
"Hmm? What are you supposed to be?" Saitama questioned
"Huh? Who the hell are you? What am I supposed to be, you ask?" garou questioned for a moment before he remembered what that girl told him, his true opponent was there, was this? Who she was talking about? Going on what he just did he knew the guy was strong but he was pretty confident that he could take that centipede on if he tried but in just one shot though? He may have to be cautious against this guy. Was he some sort of secret trump card above that of even tatsumaki? He heard his master's voice telling him to follow his heart but he couldn't do that he needed to follow a path that only he could do, he would make a world where everybody would know the "pain" that the heroes turned a blind eye to.
"I'm garou the monster. I'm the one that will strike all of mankind down equally into the depths of despair…the one that will become absolute evil." Garou asked.
"Absolute evil…? Your evil…? Wait does that mean you also had a hand in creating this mess? I just wanted to take a nice vacation but then I'm interrupted and told that monsters are attacking my neighborhood I get here and everything is a wreck and my house is completely gone, I kinda feel like I'd rather just obliterate the whole planet but I'll settle with beating up anyone responsible. " Saitama remarked, with a raised fist at this menacing aurora the amn gave out garou couldn't help himself by taking a step back before that pressure he was giving off was insane but it was for that reason he knew that he was the real deal but for some reason, he seemed similar to him like he's seen him before.
"Yeah, I was the one that did it! What of it, you wanna try and take me on!? Don't underestimate absolute evil!" garou remarked as he dashed forwards
He was completely taken off guard as he could do nothing as the bald man struck him hard sending him spiraling into the air but from that attack, he started to get his memory back he felt this overwhelming power during the night when he attacked King, and after leaving the monster association. It was him the overpowered balled guy that he kept running into over and over again, that was a complete oversight on his part, he forgot about this target that should have taken priority over anything else. He corrected his motion and got his feet from under him once more before facing the man once again.
"That's a nice costume but just because it's your hobby doesn't mean you can go around destroying peoples property just to be a monster." Saitama stated slamming his fist into the palm of his other hand, creating a small shockwave with the impact that ghosted over him.
"Costume, don't get cocky just because you landed a lucky punch, you basterd."garou yelled before charging back at the man.
Saitam through a punch which he dodged out of the way of before coming up with a strong uppercut sending the man flying high up into the air he chased right after him the man had fast reflexes dogig everyone one of his blows but what intrigue garou about him the most about the clashes were that had continued to stay up up in the air by literally jumping off the very air itself, he saw it and he instantly began to replicate the manuvers, allowing the two of bounce back and forth in the air without the need to land, garou continued to try anf hit the man but he had dodged each and everyone of his attacks, Saitama threw a punch at him which garou ducked under before bringing one of his legs up ad slamming it down at the man in an axe kick, sendig him crashing down into the an uninhabited island off the course of the supercontinent rapidly fracturing it all over its surface, Garou continued down towards the man hopping to follow up the attack the man had been standing before he even got down their but he had been distracted recovering from the pai….no was the man simply dusting himself off? Energy pooled into his hand even more as Garou came down hard with a single handle chop right on top os his balled head.
He slammed the fist down hard and made sure to keep driving it in more and more but he was getting pushed back, he continued to pour more and more power into the strike but it didn't matter the man continued to rise even as the landscape around them started to fragment and fracture even more from the force the man in the center of it all was unbothered, but more than that the mere act of raising his hand as he was slamming it down completely broke his hand off he stood back and gaped at his now broken hand.
"Why are you the one getting mad? My house was the one destroyed." Garou didn't care as he regrew his hand before launching off with a punch only to get rocked backward by one from the bald man in return.
"Listen to me when I'm talking!" Saitama yelled as he threw his punch.
The punch sent garou rocketing ove the waved towards the super and continued proper gliding before digging a massive trench through the earth before he came to a rampant digging out of the ground. Garou was stupider by this bald's strength it didn't make sense, he was way too strong. Garou rose straight up almost solely with his thoughts, just as he was about to achieve his goal of ultimate evil, this man had to show up, he needed to take him down.
As soon as he thought that, his body shifted and got bigger almost as if in response to his anger but more than that, his power also grew he could feel the overwhelming power that had started to grow with him, and with this, he could…he looked to the side to a semi surprising sight it was none other than the S-class heroes all of them in fact alongside the mutants and some other people he didn't know, he focused on bang and told his old master.
"Look at me now you old fossil, I finally managed it…I've become a monster." garou remarked as he looked at him.
"And you will die like one." Sweet Mask remarked before attempting to charge him but Darkshine held the man back, Darkshine shook his head everyone didn't take a step towards the man the aura he was giving off was staggering even larger than before,midoirya danger sense only told him to run away from the threat or ust give up right then and there..this man was dangerous way too dangerous.
"Garou is this truly what you want to become? Do you even know what a monster is?" bang replied as he stepped forwards one step.
"It's what this world needs." garou responded simply.
"So you are that garou, hey bang is it ok if I kick your disciple's ass for a moment? He took his hobby too far, wrecking dojo, hunting down heroes, and destroying property..you need to act like a grown-up for crying out loud no need for sudden hissy fits. Were you mad when I said you don't look like a monster? Your cosplay looks intricate ..hm? Did you add another part on top?" Saitama questioned.
"All you heroes better look upon your secrete weapon one last time because once I'm through with him, no one else will be able to stand in my way." garou thought as he took a step forwards, there will only be him absolute evil, to dominate and put an end to the unreasonable world that made people like him cry.
"You wanna hit me? Go ahead. You chicken?" Saitama remarked as he closed in as well stepping right up to garou.
"Don't make me laugh!" garou responded then he immediately came at Saitama with a right hook that landes scarcely against his face but the attack barely budged him, rocking him back on his heels but still standing there unphased, garou came at him with a knee strike but Saitama easily slapped him aside sending him flying backwards. Saitama turned to look over toward the others and saw Geno's power sped over.
"Man, you're all broken again just as when you came back but thanks for packing my stuff by the way" Saitama remarked.
"I knew you would get here just in time sensei, but I don't recall what you are referring to." Genos replied
"That wasn't him you idiot, that girl played you for a fool." Bakugo remarked simply.
"Oh really that's unfortunate." Saitama remarked before turning off to head in the direction that he blew garou off to before stopping himself and turning back to bang.
"Oh, you want me to just stop him right, not kill him?" Saitama asked bang, bang had started to get a hold of himself from what he had just seen he knew Saitama was strong but not this strong but he quickly filtered the words that were spoken and quickly turned to Saitama.
"Ye-yes please do so…I wish I didn't have to pawn off my responsibilities onto you but it had to be this way he's grown to powerful...I'll pay for a nice hotpot once this is all over." bang replied.
"Ohh? That sounds good. Well, I'll be right back to take you up on that offer. Just leave it to me." Saitama remarked before dashing away
Neo-heroes headquarters.
There had been a lot of movement happening around the neo-hero headquarters in no small part due to the events that had been transpiring during the events of Z-city it had been all over the news at least a part of it had been the fighting seemed to have been over when a giant centipede had arisen from out of a large hole in the ground and crashed landed somewhere else.
Fuzzy had been playing close attention to the situation watching the robot feeds earnestly and listening to the mutants' communications, of course, this was all a flavor dressing for him he expected the heroes to win but it did get dicey a few times that even he will admit, he did not see the monster getting so powerful enough to nearly topple tatsumaki herself but he rejoiced in the deaths of a few of the weaker ones. He didn't know everything that would be happening next but he wanted to ensure that everything was in order.
He received the child as expected and with that the father would now start to fund his operation, the neo leaders have been able to get combat experience and a multitude of S-class heroes at least initially it was unfortunate that this Phoenix Man had made his appearance multiple of them dying would have been a great benefit to their organization but alas he did however get the benefit of the destruction of the ghost town which would also help defame the asscoaiiton as incompetent and reckless, he had just finished writing something in a journal well for the last couple of hours he's been writing everything in his journal so that he could remember it all and no detail were left missing from the pass few hours, the only question that fuzzy really had at the moment was, what did the codded message mean, "team WTD was right" now he could guess that wtd stood for watch dogman but it didn't tell him much of anything the fact that savior decided to code it in such a way told him it was of the utmost importance to the point that he would find reason to code the message, he needed someway of learning of what that message stood for but that would be for a later time as he continued forwards towards his objective.
It was a meeting room with all of the neo-leaders present he would have liked for three of the new additions to also have some battel experience but it would have to do for the moment, as he entered the room he had both of his bodyguards wait at the doorway, one of them handed him some papers ad as expected these papers were the official stamp of approval that rid the criminal's A and Ryumon of their criminal records preventing any sort of scandals from arsing when they announced their employ into their ranks to the public. There now was a total of 10 neo-leaders in their midst it was a strong start it didn't rival the 21 S-class of the heroes association but he was rather confident that he could convince the mutants to side with him rather easily bringing them up to 14 maybe even 15 if he stretched the limit with Neith. He went to sit down and was immediately accosted by blue.
"We already had are mission debrief. why have you summoned us all back here?" the boy asked
"The reason is simple, other than getting to know your newly instated neo-leaders. it is also to usher in the end of the world." was Fuzzy's response.
End note: OOH! The plot thickens in Earnest Now Fuzzy has been monitoring the situation and planning accordingly just what did he see in his prophecy? Pass through scene gets some actual love(IDK people dislike the Managa version when both versions ultimately do nothing against the people he uses it against anyway) wanted to give some pezzas here but having everyone revived still ruins it in a way for some most likely.
Well, see you guys next time, for the prime fight! Saitama vs garou and God's mergence on the battlefield! Next time on the 22nd!
