My Hero Academia: Rise Of The Kaiju
Episode 3: Another Kaiju
By Remy Corona
Kaminari sees Krystalak coming right at him. Fortunately, Dark Shadow slams himself into Krystalak and knocks the kaiju down. Dark Shadow releases a loud screech and lunges at Krystalak. Krystalak slashes at Dark Shadow but misses him and is hit directly in his ribs. Krystalak roars and jumps backwards to gain some distance from Dark Shadow.
Dark Shadow: You're not getting away that easily!
Dark Shadow launches himself towards Krystalak. Dark Shadow slashes at Krystalak but the kaiju grabs his arm and blasts him with an energy blast. Dark Shadow is sent flying back into a building. Krystalak roars in victory and glares at Kaminari. He begins to try punching Kaminari but keeps missing. Kaminari keeps dodging but Krystalak keeps catching up.
Kaminari: Dang this monster doesn't give up does it? Fine then I have no choice but to attack him. Kaminari charges up his electricity Quirk. As soon as Krystalak gets closer, Kaminari releases his attack.
Kaminari: 1.3 Million Volts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Krystalk gets hit by the electricity and roars in pain. But unfortunately Kaminari has become brain damaged from the attack. Krystalak staggers back but quickly recuperates from the electricity. He sees Kaminari unconscious and lifts his foot up to stomp on the hero. Before he can, Bakugo launches fireballs directly at his face. Krystalak becomes annoyed. Out of the corner of his eye, Krystalak sees Izuku jump at him. Izuku then uses his left arm to punch Krystalak right in the jaw. However, Izuku uses less power to hit Krystalak this time. Izuku lands on the concrete right next to Bakugo. Krystalak shakes his head and roars at the two of them. The other heroes join in their stance as Krystalak starts stomping his way towards them.
Izuku: Let's go Kacchan!
Bakugo: Don't tell me what to do!
The two heroes attack Krystalak together. Bakugo uses his Explosion quirk to blind the crystal monster while Izuku uses his One for All quirk to land a powerful blow on Krystalak's left eye. Krystalak roars angrily in pain and charges up his energy attack. Izuku sees this and charges up his quirk.
Izuku: One for All: Full Cowling!
Izuku then rushes towards Krystalak at full speed.
Izuku: Smash!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Izuku punches Krystalak hard in the eye and sends him back a few feet and he starts bleeding from his eye. Izuku then lands on a building. He begins to grow tired from fighting the monster. Krystalak gets back up and jumps up in the air. While in mid air, Krystalak rolls into a ball and spins rapidly. As he does, multiple crystals are launched from his body and thrown at the heroes. They all take cover while Izuku jumps from the building that one of the crystals hits. Izuku jumps from one building to another and lands safely on the ground. However the crystals that continue to be launched from the kaiju's body are sent into multiple structures. The young heroes take cover. All Might rises back up but also finds shelter from the attack.
While Krystalak continues to fire crystals all around the area. A few miles away, Uraraka makes her way towards the battle. Already dressed in her outfit, she runs as fast she can to make it towards the ongoing quarrel.
Uraraka: I hope Deku and Iida aren't there. If they are, I hope they're safe. What even is that thing?
From where she is, Uraraka sees a spinning ball in the air firing crystal-like objects at a certain portion of the city. While she questions the attacker, she continues to speed up and cover more ground than before.
While Uraraka is too busy running towards Krystalak and the others, she suddenly stops herself as she hears a thunderous noise. She looks around to see where the sound came from but sees nothing. Just seconds later, another loud crash is heard. She frantically looks around for the source but again, is unable to locate anything that would make such a loud noise. Another loud crash is heard but this time sounds louder and somewhat closer than the other ones. She stops herself and looks over her shoulder. Her eyes then grow wide with fear as she sees a haunting sight. Large, reptilian-like feet make their way towards her. She quickly begins running again as the feet get closer and closer until she can barely stand as with each footstep, the ground shakes. Uraraka then notices an alleyway and leaps towards it to avoid getting crushed. Luckily, she makes it right into the alleyway just before another foot comes down and destroys the pavement. In the alleyway, Uraraka crawls a few feet away from the mysterious creature. While hiding, she sees a massive tail follow right behind the large feet. The tail, just like the feet, has a reptilian look to it as it's covered in grey scales. She also notices small spikes on the tail that go all down to the very tip of the tail. Seconds later, Uraraka sees the tail disappear and the footsteps become more faint as the creature makes its way to the same location that she was running to. She makes her way out of the alleyway and carefully follows the creature.
Krystalak finally stops his attack and lands on the street, causing a massive dust cloud as pieces of debris are blown about. Krystalak rubs his eye as he's still injured from Izuku's last attack. The crystal giant looks around to see if he can spot any survivors. Bakugo sees this as well as Izuku. Bakugo lights up his attack once again and comes out from his hiding spot. Krystalak sees this and let's out a low growl. Izuku watches in fear as Bakugo stands right in front of the kaiju.
Izuku: Kacchan! No! Don't engage!
Bakugo: Shut up Deku! This is between me and ugly over here!
Krystalak roars and lights up his beam again. Bakugo launches fireballs at the creature but they barely even make a scratch. Krystalak continues to light up his beam and stands up to his full height. The light purple grows stronger in his crystals as it shines brighter and brighter. Bakugo keeps firing despite Krystalak not stopping. Bakugo keeps growing angrier and angrier as he keeps launching fireballs at Krystalak. The kaiju smiles and prepares to launch his attack. But just before he does, Krystalak then suddenly stops. Bakugo stops his attack as he questions why Krystalak stopped. The kaiju then grows somewhat fearful as he senses another kaiju's presence. He quickly turns and searches the surrounding city. The other heroes come out from their hiding places.
Kirishima: What's wrong with it?
Asui: Yeah why is it acting so scared?
Krystalak steps back a few feet and feels the ground below start to rumble. The heroes then feel the same thing as the street starts to shake as if something is walking towards them.
Iida: What is this?
Kaminari turns around and freezes in place. Asui sees her fellow hero freeze.
Asui: Kaminari, what's wrong?
He points to the direction that he is looking towards. Asui follows his finger and sees what he's pointing at. She freezes with fear as well. Iida and Tokoyami turn and step back slowly. Bakugo, out of the corner of his eye, sees a large grey figure.
Bakugo: What the hell is that?
Izuku turns all the way around and sees a massive reptilian creature, standing up right like a human. It's skin is dark grey and it appears to be covered in rough, coarse scales. It's eyes are a color of orange and yellow, making it seem as if they are made of fire. All Might finally gets back up and watches another kaiju enter the battle. Krystalak goes back on all fours and backs away slowly as the other creature comes closer. The new kaiju stomps one last time and lets out a loud growl. It inhales and exhales a large gust of wind. It tenses up its entire body and lets out a roar that no one on earth had ever heard before. The roar is so powerful that it makes the heroes tremble with fear. The creature's screech turns from a high pitched noise to a low guttural sound. Krystalak then roars and gets into the position like that of a cat getting ready to pounce. The other creature growls and shows its fangs to Krystalak as a sign of intimidation. Krystalak, despite being somewhat afraid, growls back and charges at the other kaiju. He then leaps in the air and lunges at his opponent. Krystalak manages to lock his claws onto the other kaiju but in a matter of seconds, the other kaiju throws Krystalak to the ground. The other kaiju then lifts its foot and brings it down on Krystalak. The crystal titan is trapped and unable to move. The opposing kaiju then lifts its leg off of Krystalak and kicks him with the other leg. Krystalak is sent crashing into a small building complex. His opponent begins to growl and stomp towards him. Krystalak hears this and slashes at the kaiju's leg. The attack manages to leave a scar on the other kaiju's leg. It roars in pain and staggers back. Krystalak takes this opportunity to lunge at it again but the kaiju turns around and tail whips him. Krystalak gets launched back and completely destroys the street. The other kaiju roars at Krystalak. Krystalak gets back up and lets out a deafening screech. He then charges at the grey scaled kaiju. Overwhelmed with rage and annoyance, Krystalak fails to notice the kaiju's back beginning to glow a type of blue. The kaiju stands up straight and sucks in its chest as it prepares itself for Krystalak to get closer. The sound coming from the creature's back gets louder and louder until the creature inhales and releases a powerful attack of blue energy. Krystalak is too late to move out of the way and is hit right in the eye by the blue energy. Krystalak roars and screeches in pain as his eye is completely burnt. He gets back only to fall immediately after. Krystalak, using his one good eye, sees the kaiju walking towards him. Krystalak cries and quickly digs into the ground. The last thing the heroes and the other kaiju see is Krystalak's tail go right underground as he runs away. The other kaiju snarls and watches the hole that Krystalak escaped from. After a few quiet moments, the kaiju turns around and faces the heroes. Bakugo ignites his arm canons but he is stopped by All Might.
All Might: Wait, something feels different about this one.
Bakugo: What are you talking about?!
All Might: This creature just scared off the other one. Perhaps it doesn't intend to hurt us.
The kaiju stares at them for quite some time. Izuku watches it as his mind is filled with many thoughts and questions.
Izuku(thinking): What the heck is going on? Where did this creature come from? Is it a Pro Hero? And how did he manage to make that crystal creature retreat so easily? More importantly, what kind of energy attack came out from his mouth? It almost looks like Todoroki's fire but stronger. I am so confused right now.
The creature stares at the heroes for a little while longer before he turns his head and walks away towards the calm ocean. Uraraka finally makes it and stands next to Izuku as they watch the kaiju disappear into the water.
Uraraka: What was that thing?
Izuku: I have no idea. But something tells me that won't be the last time we see it.
