USJ (Day)

Pain.

That was the only thing Dominic's mind was able to process right now. Shigaraki's Decay Quirk made it so everything he touched with all five fingers would be turned to dust. And he touched Dominic's face. Specifically, the right side of his face. Flesh and stone broke away until the blonde forcefully grabbed his attacker's arm and squeezed it until it broke. He then delivered a punch to the boy's stomach, launching him into the air. The smoke villain, Kurogiri, caught Shigaraki before he hit the ground, though.

"Xiao-Long, are you okay?" Midoriya asked, worried. Dominic turned back to his classmate, his face completely unscathed. However, his Futuristic Monocle was no longer there obscuring his right eye.

Or rather, the lack thereof.

His eyesocket was empty. Despite this harrowing fact, the blonde didn't seem to be in pain anymore. He raised a hand to his face, then gasped when he realized his broken eye was visible. "Oh, don't worry about this. I've had this little scar for years now. It's nothing serious." he assured his classmates, who still seemed off-put by the injury. He stepped out of the lake, shutting the Neo Magma Suit off. "Stay here." He turned back to the villains before suddenly vanishing and reappearing inches away from Shigaraki.

In half the time it took for him to cross the plaza, Nomu grabbed onto the blonde and crushed his head, making the boy go limp as black goo spewed everywhere. After a few seconds, the abomination recoiled in shock and let go of Dominic, making him fall to the ground while his head was gushing black fluid. He staggered as he stood back up, glaring angrily at Nomu. Interestingly, his teeth were ground down to points and were coated in something red.

"I have tasted blood before. And that is not it. Then again, I'm in no position to judge in that regard." he said, his wounds repairing themselves. His sclera also returned to it's normal white color. "Either way, I have a feeling this fight will yield some fascinating results. Charizard, Air Slash!" The Flame Pokemon flew into the air before launching several crescent-shaped beams of energy at Nomu, who simply took the attack as if it were nothing. "Perfect." Dominic said with a sickening grin.

"Nomu has been bioengineered to kill All Might. As such, it's Quirk is Shock Absorbtion." Shigaraki explained. "None of your attacks can put as much as a dent in it's HP."

At that, Dominic laughed. "Funny. Charizard has been trained to stand on the same footing as any foe it meets. I wonder which of our fighters will come out on top. Dragon Claw!" Letting out a battle cry, Charizard's claws started glowing bright purple before it lunged at Nomu, slashing at it's torso.

"Kill them both." Shigaraki said to the beast, prompting it to deliver a punch to Charizard's abdomen, sending it flying into the air.

"Let yourself fall, then use Earthquake the moment you hit the ground!" Dominic yelled. The Pokemon went limp in the air, allowing it's entire body weight to crash into the cement floor. This, combined with Earthquake, created a shockwave of energy that damaged everything in a 10-meter radius. This was enough to knock Nomu to it's knees, stunning it. "Excellent. Fire Blast!" Before it was able to get back up, Charizard shot out a ball of flame at Nomu, consuming the beast in a fiery explosion. When the smoke cleared, the ebony devil rushed at Charizard and punched it again, sending it flying until it struck Dominic. "Ow." he said as his partner helped him back up. "Don't worry, I'm fine." he told the monster as he put a hand on it's snout. Both of them then turned back to Nomu. "We can't win with a normal battle. We'll have to get serious."

Dominic took a deep breath before pressing two fingers to his Key Stone. This caused a bright light to emanate from it and Charizard's Mega Stone, surrounding the Pokemon in an orb of pink energy. The orb soon exploded, and Mega Charizard Y appeared in a burst of crimson light. Just as the transformation ended, a rainbow-colored double helix symbol flashed in the air above it. The blonde looked up, grinning when he saw the sunlight intensify from beyond the glass ceiling.

"Fire Blast!" Charizard reeled it's head back before shooting out another ball of flame. The attack landed, causing an explosion far more powerful than last time, dealing enough damage to actually send Nomu back a few meters. "Shock Absorption only applies to brute force. Wind around it and use Dragon Claw over and over again! It's Quirk is useless against cutting attacks!" Roaring, Charizard took flight and sped at Nomu, becoming nearly invisible as it rocketed to it's target. Flashes of orange and purple swirled around the artificial beast, tearing into it's flesh, moving too fast for it to counterattack.

Shigaraki was upset by this turn of events. He was supposed to use Nomu to kill All Might, not deal with a kid and his pet. Smiling deviously, he gave the anti-symbol of peace another command. "Kill the boy." Hearing this, Nomu completely disregarded Charizard and ran toward Dominic. The blonde's eye flashed red for a split second before he got a Premier Ball out of his pocket and threw it in front of him.

The second it opened, everyone in the main plaza save for Dominic and Charizard was overwhelmed by something weighing them down. The one responsible was a humanoid Pokemon that stood in front of Nomu with it's hand held out, stopping the rampaging beast.

"What the- NOMU! KILL HIM NOW!" Shigaraki screamed.

"It can't." Dominic said simply as Mega Charizard flew back to his side. "I didn't want to use this one so soon. But, when have I ever gotten what I wanted?" He then raised his hand, as if to introduce the Pokemon. "I think it's only polite to give you the name of the being that will end you. This is Mewtwo, a Legendary Pokemon that wields enough power to blow up a small moon."

Mewtwo demonstrated it's psychic prowess by lifting it's arm, sending Nomu flying into the air, crashing through the roof of the USJ. It then glared at Shigaraki with it's eyes glowing purple.

"Charizard, Fire Blast. Mewtwo, Psystrike." As Charizard reeled it's head back, Mewtwo held out it's hand, forming a ball of rainbow-colored light before lobbing it at the manchild. Kurogiri's eyes widened before he activated his Warp Gate Quirk, making both him and Shigaraki vanish. Out of anger from failing to eliminate them, Dominic stomped the ground, creating cracks in the floor. "Aspetta, aspirante Portal Master! Alla fine ti troverò!" he declared loudly as his eye burned crimson.

Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking alerted the Trainer to Corviknight's presence. It landed next to the boy, with All Might on it's back. "What's wrong, Young Xi-" The man cut himself off when he saw Dominic's eyesocket.

"You came too late. They're already gone." he said to the hero, a distinct edge in his voice. "Now, if you excuse me, I need... a... a nap..." He then collapsed unconscious along with Charizard, who changed back it's normal form.

"Young Xiao-Long! Are you okay?" All Might asked, worried for his student.

"They'll be fine. They just need time to rest." he heard. Turning around, he saw Mewtwo standing over Charizard and emitting a strange white light from it's hand. It then went back into it's own Poke Ball, leaving All Might confused.

"What was in that tea Nezu gave me?" the hero asked himself, putting a hand to his own forehead.
