Fugu lifted Shihori into the air, as she launched a devastating kick to her head, Fugu let out an enraged scream with each blow, as her limbs quickly became more and more damage. Daigo appeared on her shoulder as he tried to coach her

"Eleven!!! What are you doing?! YEAH, use your anger but-"

"I DON'T CARE!"

Fugu pushed Daigo away, as she pulled Shihori in, using One for All and Gear Shift together. Suddenly, Shihori's body was thrashed around like a game of Paddle Ball. Fugu threw Shihori onto the platform with all the heroes on as she bounced back up to Fugu, who activated One for All, and Fa Jin.

"DIE DAMMIT!"

Fugu shouted as she placed an attack straight at Shihori's chest, as Shihori fell back to the ground, she lifted her hand, as she tried to stand back up, only for Senshi to deliver a well placed kick. As her body flew in the air, she thought to herself.

"Like lambs to the slaughter... clearly, I can't do anything, yet they persist their attacks. What dreadful people..."

Shihori's eyes looked around as she saw her remaining Wildfires in prison jump suits invade the cities, she smiled as she saw the swarm of villains... knowing she finally got her advantage. As Monoma slowly blinked, Shihori took the moment to vanish. Causing Monoma to freak out.

"SHE'S GONE!!"

Monoma shouted when suddenly he found a mangled hand pressing into his head, as his head was smashed into the platform, over and over, Shihori turned her head immediately as she looked into the portal, her eyes meeting Aizawa's gaze.

"YOU!"

Shihori shouted, as she reached into the portal, only for it to close on her hand, slicing it off, Fugu threw black whip at Shihori, as she pulled her in for another attack.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU JUST CAN'T STOP KILLING, CAN YOU?!"

Fugu elbowed the bitch in the stomach. As she brought her fist up. Slamming it into Shihori's jaw, before dodging her attack.

"CLEAVE!"

Fugu dodged this attack as well thanks to Danger Sense, as she found an opening, sending Shihori flying into the ground once more. As Shihori lifted her head, regenerating almost instantly, she took a deep breath... realizing her lungs were infatuated with more oxygen then normal...

"NOO-"

suddenly, Shihori burst into flames as she shrieked in pain... for a moment, it stopped before Tsuyoi flicked her fingers again, her eyes fill of anger as she continuously set the villain on fire.

"I can do this all day. Can you?"

Shihori reached for Tsuyoi as she stood proud, burning Shihori once again. As Shihori sent a spear to impale Tsuyoi, the spear teleported out of the way, thanks to Hana's intuition. Shihori grabbed her jaw, as she felt her jaw falling off.

"YOU BITCH!! WHAT IS WITH YOU TRYING TO KILL MY KIDS?!"

Tsuyoi once again set Shihori on fire, as Tsuyoi took a second to breath, she began to rapid fire her burning quirk, causing Shihori to fall over, almost a clean skeleton sat where Shihori once stood.. before she suddenly stood back up, dragging herself towards Tsuyoi, as she regenerated, her skeleton grabbed onto Tsuyoi's leg.

"Pathetic."

Suddenly, Senshi grabbed onto Shihori, as he took his knee, splitting her spine in half and separating her skeleton. He was alarmed as he positioned himself next to Tsuyoi.

"Does this bitch not die?!"

Suddenly, minor villains began to surround the party, as Fugu slowly floated to everyone's level, using black whip as a splint, she looked around.

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

Senshi pointed at the skeleton, as it took its time to regenerate.

"As much as we want her dead, her regeneration won't let up!"

as the heroes began fighting, they could clearly see the numbers were overwhelming them, even with the help of One for All.

"Dammit!!! There's too many! Mom! Do something!!!"

Tsuyoi kept fighting as she kept trying to breathe... something she has kept secret, is that when she uses her quirk, her breathing becomes more and more shallow.

"I need a minute! Dammit!!"

as the heroes began to get surrounded, a large fire sprouted around the group, separating the villains from the heroes as a flame began to envelope the battle field. Shizu dropped down from the sky as he activated his skull form, dodging attack after attack as he took out multiple villains. As the flame wall dropped he nodded as his sister and friends.

Shizu

Shizu watched from the same spot as Midoriya as he gave call outs to Team C. As Shizu looked through the cameras of all the fighters, he shifted to Michi Shinomori's, stopping momentarily as he watched Michi get his neck slit open, as he fell to the ground.

"Oh my God! Michi's down!!!! Alert Mr. Dynamite!!"

As Midoriya tuned his communicator to Dynamite, Shizu looked at the battle field, as he began to get more and more worried, he clenched his head as he screamed out in pain.

"DAMMIT! DAMMIT!!! I CAN'T JUST SIT HERE! I WAS A HERO RIGHT?! WHY CANT I REMEMBER!????"

Shizu looked at Michi's camera once again, as he saw the evil glare of Shihori, his eyes widened as an image flashed in his head.

"AGGH!! What was that- ahh..."

Shizu held his head, as visions of his death reappeared, his eyes slowly widened as everything began to come back to him... Shizu's stance slowly changed as he walked towards the doorway, as he swung it open, Midoriya's eyes widened.

"Shizu?! Where are you going?!"

Shizu gave Midoriya a thumbs up as he confidentially spoke.

"I'm gonna go buy us more time."

Shizu slid next to his sister and classmates, fellow heroes as he spoke confidentially.

"ALRIGHT! GROUPS A AND B SPLIT UP, GROUP A WILL STAY HERE AND FIGHT SHIHORI AFTER SHE REGENERATES, GROUP B. IT'S YOUR JOB TO PULL HER HENCHMEN OFF OF THIS PLATFORM!"

Shizu parried a quirk user as he used his flames to knock out the villain. Shizu looked at his sister with a confident smile.

"Michi's receiving medical help! Stand confident! He's gonna be fine!"

Fugu nodded. As she began to calm down, she wiped the tears from her eyes... when suddenly, Danger Sense went off. Fugu turned around just in time to dodge Shihori's flame aberration... as she slowed herself down, she was face to face with Shizu, who activated his own flame aberration.

"Nice quirk.. wanna get some pointers?!"

Shizu ran towards Shihori, as he jumped at her, the two flaming beings wrestling with each other, as they both turned up the temperature... Shihori screamed out as she activated quirk strength x4 as she did so, Shizu fell backwards as he knelt down... he held her hands as he tried his best to hold himself on ground.

"You... really are that weak?!"

Shizu admitted as his flames burned brighter, brighter that Shihori's ever could, as his began to extinguish hers. He laughed out as he began to burn the quirk out of her very body.

"YOU CAN'T EVEN HANDLE MY HEAT! AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A QUIRK THIEF?! AND TO THINK I FEARED YOU!"

as Shihori returned to a normal appearance, she activated more quirks. Before she could attack Shizu, he threw her into the sky, for Fugu to grapple onto with black whip, as Shizu jumped towards her, only to be swapped with Senshi midway, as he delivered a powerful blow, Shihori activated a spear quirk right when the impact hit her, impaling a spear into Senshi's chest.. for a moment, Senshi grasped, before breaking the spear and falling to the ground, holding his chest as he couldn't breathe. Hana quickly swapped him with a loose rock as she grabbed Senshi.

"SENSHI! SENSHI!!!"

Senshi coughed out blood as he pointed towards Shihori, as if saying, "focus on the mission." Hana shook her head as she held Senshi's head.

"Stay awake dummy!"

as Senshi slowly closed his eyes, his life flashed before his eyes.. he chuckled as he choked on his blood...

"I lived a good life..-"

suddenly, Senshi sprung to life as he opened his eyes, as he swung his body up, he turned his head to his right, as Eri ran towards the injured, Senshi gripped his hands and touched his chest. He smiled.

"Looks like I got a pocket healer!"

Senshi ran towards the battle once again, as Hana covered her mouth, still shocked as she refocused. She knew the war wasn't over yet...

???

"What a beautiful beach... the waters are so calm... the sand... it's... everywhere.. usually, this would piss me off but... damn... is it inviting."

Michi slowly lowered his body into the sand, as he felt it wrap itself around his body, until he heard a familiar voice.

"What are you doing there, goof ball?!"

Michi sprung back up, with the body of his twelve year old self, as he looked at his hands, he stood up, looking at his mother, wearing a beautiful sun dress and hat, she offered him her hand.

"Hi... mom."

"Hey sweetie. Do you know where you are?"

Michi looked around as he grabbed his mom's hand. As he walked with her.

"Ummmm. Heaven?"

Naomi laughed at her son's answer as she gripped his hand tighter

"No. this is Okinawa Island.. We went here for-"

"Dad's birthday... that's right... is this a memory?"

"do you want it to be?"

Michi shook his head as his throat tightened as he fought back tears.

"no. I want this to be real."

Naomi nodded as she knelt down next to her son, grabbing his cheek,

"Sweetie, you're a mess.. why are you crying?!"

as we look at Michi, he's now at his true age, showing his battle scars, and injuries... Michi grabbed his mom's hand as he softly grabbed it.

"I guess, I'm a little overwhelmed."

Naomi's eyes widened at her son's honesty as she pulled him in for a hug, as they stood up, Naomi looked at her son. Noticing the height difference, she looked up at his face

"look at you... look at you... you've gotten... so big."

Michi chuckled as he looked at his hands, he felt sadness as he felt a question arise.

"Mom... I mean.. Naomi..."

Naomi paused as she heard her son call her by her first name, smacking him upside the head.

"it's Mom. Or mother. Your pick."

Michi rubbed his head as he nodded.

"Mom... You aren't really my mom... are you?"

Naomi smiled softly as she kissed her son on the forehead as tears rolled from her own face, she held her son's head in her arms as she pulled him in for a deep hug.

"I may not be your "mom" but I will always be your mother."

Michi hesitated as he hugged her.

"Mom... I'm afraid."

"Aren't we all a little afraid here and there? It's a normal part of life. You're doing everything you can."

Michi nodded as he took a deep breath.

"Alright.. let's go."

Naomi looked confused as she looked her son in the eyes, "let's go?"

Michi nodded as he admitted.

"I mean... I'm dead, right? I saw Shihori slice my throat right open. I couldn't even breathe."

Naomi held her mouth as she gasped

"what a ghastly attack... but..."

suddenly, a dog roughly the size of a golden retriever appeared next to Naomi as it barked, Lou's voice came through.

"It isn't your time yet!"

Michi's eyes opened wider as he saw Lou, as he reached for him, the waves wrapped itself around Michi's leg, pulling him into the water.. as Michi got pulled further and further into the water, he watched Lou and Naomi slowly walk off the beach, as they approached a young woman, who was watching from afar.

"The water... it's warm.. no... it's cold... it's very cold... and loud... oh god... everything feel so-"

Michi felt a pound on his chest as he opened his eyes, seeing Katsuki Bakugo slamming his arm into Michi's chest, Michi coughed as a fountain of blood came out of his mouth, Katsuki turned Michi over on his side as Michi began vomiting out blood.

"Yeah... yeah this part always sucks. Had nightmares for weeks."

Michi sputtered as he spat out some more blood, he slowly sat up, as his body felt like absolute shit, as he looked towards Katsuki Bakugo. Who was now missing his left arm.

"Alright kid... you ready to get back out there? You're my replacement."

Michi looked at Katsuki, still disorientated.

"your arm.."

Katsuki nodded as he held it from bleeding.

"Yeah. Small price to pay... I sacrificed a piece of me, to get your body moving again... now, it's gonna be excruciating to move around.. so be careful... now, get your ass back in that war! They need you!!!"

Michi slowly sat up, as he did, he swayed.. his legs and body felt heavier... he looked at Katsuki Bakugo, who began to look alarmed.

"shit.. on second thought..."

Michi suddenly launched himself into the sky, using his bolstering quirk as he got to the platform. As he got up top, he saw everyone dodging a massive beam attack from Shihori... Michi began to sweat as his vision doubled... no... tripled.

"Dammit.. I'm so tired... why do I smell..."

Michi launched himself towards Shihori, as he landed a bolstered punch of Shihori's jaw, causing her head to crack, break, and snap, as her jaw flew off... Through a near death experience... Michi's quirk has had an awakening, where his strength, and his speeds have reached insane levels... Michi fell on the platform, as he stopped himself from falling off the platform, he slowly turned around, as he wiped the sweat from his chest and head.. he looked at Shihori.

"You really thought we were done?"

Shihori's eyes widened as she regenerated, as Fugu landed a punch on Shihori's arm, sending her flying... Michi turned around, screaming at Hana.

"SWITCH ME WITH FUGU! QUICK!!"

As Michi swapped with Fugu, he smiled, as he took his hand. Throwing his sweat onto Shihori, he smiled.

"LOOKS LIKE BAKUGO GAVE ME A LITTLE GIFT!"

suddenly, Michi was switched with Shizu, who set Shihori ablaze, causing her body to combust... Michi fell to the ground as he laughed out loud...

"That was for Lou."

Michi looked at his chest, exposed from his torn hero uniform as he touched the sweat from his neck and chest.

"It seems like Mr. Bakugo's quirk carried over to me as well..."

Michi looked out towards Shihori, as she screamed out, regenerating as her eyes rolled to the back of her skull, she put her hand out towards the heroes.

"WHY MUST EVERYONE GET IN MY WAY?! I DO THIS FOR-"

suddenly, Fugu appeared next to Shihori, with eyes full of determination, she gritted her teeth as she once again hit Shihori with a full 100%

"SMAAAAAAAASH!!!"

suddenly, Fugu was switched with Michi, as Michi flew into the air, he tried using his own bolster quirk, before wiping the sweat from his neck on his palms, using it to explode, and in a very amateur way, fly towards Shihori... Michi smiled as he put his hands towards Shihori, as he felt his sweat building up, he yelled out as his hands began to brighten an orange burning hue.

"ALL THOSE QUIRKS... AND THEY'RE STILL NOT... EEEENOUUUUUUGH!"

Michi blasted Shihori with explosion, before being swapped for Shizu, burning her face before being swapped with Fugu, as she smashed Shihori towards the ground, only to use black whip to pull her back into the sky. Senshi appeared as he landed a devastating punch to her nose, causing her to be sent aback by the attack. Michi swapped with Senshi as he activated explosion, spinning in the air as he felt his hands knock back from the kick back of Bakugo's quirk.. Michi put his hand towards Shihori as the sweat exploded as this happened, Shihori reached for Michi, as she shattered his right hand... She smiled as she reached for Michi's head, only for Michi to smile through the pain as his whole body began to shake.

"Like hell that'd stop me- no..."

Michi's body exploded, as it knocked Shihori away from him, as he fell from the sky, succumbing to his injuries, he coughed out clotted blood as he shouted once more at Shihori...

"LIKE HELL YOU'LL STOP US!!"

Michi was swapped with Fugu as she jumped towards Shihori, activating all the quirks within the depths of her soul... each user passed through her, as Fugu built up the pent up energy, as she gritted her teeth,

"Stay dead this time, ALRIGHT ALL FOR ONE?"

Fugu landed a hit on Shihori, pulverizing her upper torso, as her legs fell towards the ground. Fugu looked back with a determined look in her eyes, before flying back towards the remains.

"SMAAAAAAASH!"

As Fugu kicked the remainder of Shihori... her blood floated in the air, Fugu looked confused as she used float to head back to the ground, to regroup with her heroes and classmates. Shizu screamed out.

"y'all see that too, right?!"

Michi's whole body was shaking as he lifted himself back up... his arm was too destroyed to even be moved... Fugu quickly took off her support item, activating it on his arm to help.

"We see it Shizu. Be on your guard."

Senshi commanded as he readied himself, cracking his shoulder as he readjusted it. Hana readied her quirk to teleport anyone or everyone from the area. Fugu activated One for All once more, even with her body being so injured already... Shizu activated his flame quirk as Michi activated bolster and explosion... it was time.

Shihori slowly gathered her remains, as rewind was activated... she took a deep breath as she activated the quirk, feeling it rewind her to a state where she could fight.. she looked at her body before the heroes... she activated another quirk to wrap herself in clothes as she scowled. Before she suddenly deactivated rewind

"this is the one quirk I received from my father... I intend to use it to send you all to your graves."
