In the cloaking aircraft, the Six Sages stared at the mass destruction of Jaku City down below through the large window. Titania, Galatea, Triton, and Opalite gazed with astounded expressions. Zircon's face, on the other hand, looked unfazed when he stared at the window.
However, Nightshade didn't bother observing Shigaraki's Decay shockwave with the others. She distractedly stared down at a high-tech flash drive in her hand.
"After doing some research, the truth has left me nothing but flabbergasted. Your mother's name is Rosita. But you know her as…Amazonite. Your real mother." Rhina said.
Nightshade's eyes narrowed as she couldn't stop thinking about her conversation with Rhina. But she snapped out of her thoughts when he sensed Zircon approaching her.
"Something troubling you, daughter?" Zircon asked.
"I want to know the truth." Nightshade said with a slightly firm tone. "About my mother and Amazonite."
Zircon narrowed his eyes, but he kept a composed face.
"I already told you the truth." Zircon responded. "Amazonite was the one who took your mother away years ago."
Zircon placed his hand on Nightshade's shoulder.
"And now, we can take the fight to her and, no doubt, her precious daughter." Zircon added. "We will avenge ourselves, no matter what it takes."
Nightshade nodded her head as she sneakily placed the flash drive in her pocket.
"Yes, father." Nightshade said.
Meanwhile, the Police HQ Message Control Center panickingly rushed to keep tabs on the communications with Endeavor, White Queen, and other pro heroes during the Shigaraki's chaotic Decay shockwave.
"Endeavor, come in!" The policewoman said. "Respond! Hello? White Queen! Are you there?"
"We still haven't heard from any of the heroes who went fighting in Jaku Hospital and Naboo Mansion!" The second policewoman reported.
"Do we know the extent of the damage?" One of the high-ranking police officers asked.
"The effects of the blast extended in every direction from the hospital." The second policeman explained. "And the resulting dust cloud is blocking our visuals."
All the police officers watched in shock as every monitor screen had permanently shut down in front of their eyes.
Back in the cloaking aircraft, Oriana calmly observed Tomura clutching his head on top of the pillar platform surrounded by dusty smoke on the monitor screen.
Suddenly, Endeavor came flying straight towards Tomura from the sky.
"This could get interesting." Oriana said.
Endeavor threw his fists back and concentrated his flames. He then threw his flaming fists forward and unleashed a massive blanket of flames that engulfed Tomura and the pillar platform. Within the blazing flames, Tomura was completely unconcerned by the heat temperature. Tomura suddenly jumped out of the flames and launched straight toward Endeavor, interrupting his chances of striking another attack and alerting him to dodge with a shocked face.
"Oh, my." Oriana said. "A vast heat wave like that should've taken him out of commission. Is it possible he was gifted with heat resistance to overcome the number one hero's fire?"
The second monitor screen pulled up a close-up shot of Tomura's burned skin beginning to regenerate itself.
"Of course. He's regenerating." Oriana said.
Endeavor emitted his grill handguards with his fire and spun swiftly behind Tomura, punching and thrusting straight onto the pillar platform. Then, Endeavor started contacting the heroes and the UA students on his comms, which every pro hero and high school student began to listen carefully. As Endeavor explained his current situation, Tomura's hand emerged from the fire and reached out to touch the number one hero. But Endeavor quickly grabbed his hand, preventing the villain from making contact for his Quirk. However, Tomura unleashed a devastating shockwave of air pressure from the palm of his hand, catching Endeavor off guard and knocking him away with tremendous force.
"Looks like Daku's record on Dr. Kyudai Garaki was true." Oriana said. "With a brilliant knowledge over biology and technology, Tomura Shigaraki was indeed surgically modified with stockpiled Quirk implanted by that deranged scientist."
After getting back up on his feet, Tomura walked towards the broken machine. He took out and placed the remaining Quirk-destroying bullets in his pocket before pulling out a severed hand accessory from a nearby box.
Suddenly, Endeavor came rushing towards Tomura. Endeavor launched a fiery punch, which Tomura slowly turned around and created a yellowish circular shield made of compressed air from his hand in front of him that was strong enough to block and withstand the number one hero's flames.
"As I expected, he has multiple Quirks." Oriana said. "Just like those disgusting Nomus the Shatrix told me about a while back."
Oriana continued watching as the second monitor screen pulled up another close-up shot of Endeavor trying to smash through Tomura's unbreakable shield. Then, Tomura's words made Oriana's eyes widen in shock.
"Where is One For All and Divine Trinity?" Tomura demanded.
"One for All? And Divine Trinity?" Endeavor repeated.
"No." Oriana muttered. Her eyes narrowed with fury. "He can't! I won't let him!"
Endeavor's words expanded throughout every comms from the pro heroes and the UA students.
From the opposite side of the devastated city, Tarot Chariot's evacuation team focused on escorting the evacuees' safety as their top priority. Only Nefertari and Sapphire listened to Endeavor's voice from their comms while Morganite, the Roulette Twins, Aisha, and three of the Shiroibara Quartet paid no attention to their comms as they continued ushering the evacuees to the police vans.
"Wait, what? What's a Divine Trinity?" Nefertari inquired.
"And One For All?" Sapphire questioned.
Standing behind Nefertari and Sapphire, Luna and Tarot Chariot stood frozen with a horrified expression on their faces.
Tomura turned his head away from Endeavor and looked towards Jaku City. His eyes started to glow rainbow-colored, monitoring and pinpointing the location of seven star-like vestiges miles away.
"One for All. Divine Trinity." Tomura whispered to himself with an evil smile. "Ah, there you are."
Tomura pushed Endeavor back with his circular shield and detected Luna and Izuku's locations.
Then, Tomura crouched down and launched himself away through the air. But it wasn't long until Endeavor managed to pursue him from behind.
"Shigaraki is heading straight toward the evacuees! The battle zone is expanding!" Endeavor called out urgently over his comm. "Clear the area surrounding the city!"
Luna and Tarot Chariot overheard Endeavor's urgent report from their comms as they immediately realized that Tomura was coming after them. They looked back at Nefertari, Morganite, the Roulette Twins, Aisha, and the Shiroibara Quartet desperately working on getting a large crowd of evacuees out of the area.
"If Tomura's wave of decay hit here, everyone will die." Luna said to Tarot Chariot. "But if he comes here or where Midoriya's at, we'll be putting everyone in danger."
"No doubt about it. The safety of the evacuees is our number one priority and they need to be protected at all cost. Shigaraki is only after Divine Trinity and One For All. If every hero here, except Morganite and Aisha, knows the full truth of our secret, they will split up their forces to protect you and the civilians." Tarot Chariot said with a determined look on her face. "But you're right. The only way to prevent his wrath from coming here is to get away as fast as we can."
Tarot Chariot and Luna traded silent nods at each other.
Tarot Chariot pulled out her magic card and magnified it into a large size. She and Luna hopped on it as they hurriedly soared away from the area at fast speed.
"Hey, where are you two going?" Aisha asked as she turned around to look up at Luna and Tarot Chariot.
"Oh! We need to take care of something! We'll be right back! We promise!" Luna replied.
Aisha gazed at Luna and Tarot Chariot, knowing that something's wrong with her friend and her friend's mother.
Tarot Chariot and Luna soared speedily through the destroyed Jaku City on top of the magic card at fast speed.
"With a good amount of distance, Shigaraki won't be able to see you through all this debris around." Tarot Chariot said as she maneuvered through the city. "But I can't understand how he managed to track down your location the moment he mentioned Divine Trinity and One For All."
Luna thought for a moment until her eyes suddenly widened in shocking realization.
"He was using Search!" Luna cried out. "That's how he was able to track me and Midoriya!"
"Search?" Tarot Chariot repeated.
"It was Ragdoll's Quirk that All For One had stolen back in Kamino!" Luna said. "The same time when the League of Villains kidnapped me and Bakugo!"
"And with that power, Shigaraki can locate you and Midoriya in an instant, no matter how far you are." Tarot Chariot said as she narrowed her eyes. "I should've known. We have to find Midoriya quick."
Then suddenly, a bright cyan light came down from the sky. It enveloped Tarot Chariot and Luna, pulling them up to the cloaking aircraft.
"Wha-what's going on?" Luna exclaimed.
"It's Oriana!" Tarot Chariot cried out. "We're being pulled up to her airship!"
Luna tried to break free from the beam, but it was no use.
"I-I can't move!" Luna said.
Tarot Chariot didn't hesitate for a minute. She grabbed Luna's hand and threw her away from the tractor beam with great strength, sending her daughter flying in the air.
"Mom, wait! What are you doing?!" Luna shouted.
"It's alright! I'll be okay!" Tarot Chariot shouted back. "I can handle my mother and my sisters! Go find Midoriya and stay safe!"
Tarot Chariot then reached out to the enlarged magic card and tossed it to fly underneath Luna, saving her from falling hard to the debris.
"Mom! No!" Luna cried out.
But it was too late. Luna watched as Tarot Chariot was being taken into the sky until she was completely out of Luna's sight.
Luna stared up at the sky with a worried face, but she shook her head and focused on the task at hand.
Be careful, mom. Luna thought.
With that, Luna stood on the hovering magic card on her feet and soared away.
Luna rocketed hastily through the city on her mother's magic card.
"Luna! Luna, over here!"
Luna looked around to the source of that familiar voice and her eyes lit up in relief. She caught the sight of Izuku steering through the air with the aid of Blackwhip. Katsuki drifted behind Izuku by propelling through the air with his explosion.
With a relieved sigh, Luna jetted straight towards Izuku and Katsuki's direction as she flew between them.
"Luna, thank goodness you're okay!" Izuku shouted.
"You and me both!" Luna shouted back.
Meanwhile, Tomura continued heading towards the destroyed Jaku City with Endeavor trailing from behind. His eyes slightly widened when he noticed Izuku and Luna's star-like vestiges moving away from the evacuation area and into an unpopulated area.
There. Tomura thought.
"Deku here! Sorry for using a private line." Izuku said over Endeavor's comms. "It's highly possible that Luna and I are the one Shigaraki's after!"
"What are you talking about?" Endeavor asked.
"We might be able to lure him to an unpopulated area!" Izuku said. "Please keep this channel open!"
"Why would Shigaraki be coming after you and Luna?" Endeavor questioned. "Explain yourself now!"
"It'll have to wait." Izuku replied. "We're too far away to have eyes on him, especially given all the dust in the air. If it looks like he's changing directions, can you give me a heads up?"
"I don't like being in the dark." Endeavor stated.
Tomura kept tracking Izuku and Luna with the power of Search.
I can access the data this Quirk's previous user accumulated. Tomura thought. And they saw One For All right before their power was stolen. The data on Divine Trinity is remarkably fascinating. To think possessing a Quirk that could potentially rival One For All and All For One. He formed an evil smirk on his face. Lucky me.
Then, Tomura stumbled down onto the ground and came to a sudden halt.
"He's down!" Endeavor exclaimed.
Endeavor charged his fist with flames and took the advantageous chance to attack Tomura, who swiftly altered his trajectory. But that doesn't stop Endeavor from continuing his pursuit of the villain.
"New course! He's moving to the southwest!" Endeavor said in alert over the comms.
"Yeah, pretty much what I expected!" Izuku said over the comms. "We can buy you more time. You evacuate the civilians!"
"What?!" Endeavor exclaimed.
Their communicators are a pain. Tomura thought as he glanced at Endeavor. I'm sure I can get rid of them.
"Okay, heads up! Shigaraki is now heading southwest! He has super regeneration somehow! Nobody underestimate him!" Endeavor said over the comms. He then couldn't stop thinking about what Izuku had said to him seconds ago. Targeting Midoriya and Luna? Why? I don't understand, but they did take the bait. I have to catch up. I won't leave them on their own.
Izuku, Luna, and Katsuki continued propelling through the air as they overheard Endeavor's alerting message from their comms.
"Right! He said he's following us!" Izuku shouted to Katsuki and Luna.
"We heard!" Katsuki replied. "You're the one who's not listening! That creep has leveled-up into a final boss! You and Luna better make damn sure you don't get caught!"
"And I know how Shigaraki's tracking us!" Luna said. "Remember what happened to Ragdoll's Quirk? No doubt he's using her Search to detect our location!"
"That's right! It all makes sense now!" Izuku exclaimed with wide eyes. "Thanks for the heads up, Luna!"
"Dammit, that bastard!" Katsuki said.
Then, Izuku turned his head towards Katsuki with a bewildered expression on his face.
"Um, Kacchan, why are you following us?" Izuku asked.
"You wanna die?!" Katsuki yelled threateningly.
"What?!" Izuku asked in confusion.
"There's no time to explain the situation so I'm the only one who gets what's happening!" Katsuki replied. "I had to come!"
"Wow! Thank you!" Izuku said with an astonished face.
"You idiot. I am not doing it for you." Katsuki retorted. "Don't think you're the main character on the battlefield. I just owe that piece of crap villain a beat down."
Luna's eyes lit up as she recalled herself and Katsuki getting kidnapped by the League of Villains during the training camp.
"It's my fault All Might had to hang up his costume and retire." Katsuki said.
"Bakugo, you can't blame yourself for..." Luna said softly.
"I know that." Katsuki interrupted. He then grew a wide, terrifying smile on his face. "You and Deku can act as bait. And once he gets close, I'll have revenge for what happened! I will defeat him. and I'll prove that I'm a hero. Just don't let your guard down or get in my way, got it?"
"Yeah, I got it." Izuku responded.
"Understood." Luna nodded.
Deku can consistently use Full Cowling at 30% without hurting himself. In order to keep his body from getting wrecked, he only brings it up to 45% at the moment of impact. Katsuki thought as he kept following behind Izuku and Luna. His time at Endeavor's agency. All Might's special training. Every time Deku improves, I have to grit my teeth and try to match him. That's not a problem at this 30% speed. And from what Luna's been telling me, her Dazzling Trinity, Exofists, and Starlight Shock have increased during her time at her mom's agency. But as they get stronger…I won't lose to a damn nerd nor All Might's princess.
Katsuki propelled himself right between Luna and Izuku with a powerful explosion.
"And there's no way I'm gonna give up while I'm still behind!" Katsuki yelled.
Tomura kept soaring forward as Endeavor continued chasing him from behind.
"Let's see. This should work." Tomura muttered to himself.
Tomura suddenly jumped up high and reached into the sky above the dusty smoke.
"The Air Blast from earlier, plus Radio Waves." Tomura said.
When Endeavor flew towards the villain, Tomura aimed his hand down towards the number one hero.
"Sorry, Number One." Tomura said. A yellow glow combined with purple electricity was created around the palm of his hand. "I don't have time to play with you."
With the combination of Air Blast and Radio Waves, Tomura then unleashed a devastating wide-range blast of electromagnetic pulse throughout the area. Not only that power combination knocked Endeavor down to the ground, but it disrupted and malfunctioned the communication devices coming from the heroes, the UA students, and the Police HQ.
At the same time, the waveforms of electromagnetic pulse suddenly ignited the wires that were left exposed in the ruins of Jaku Hospital, which started activating every glowing purple container deep underground.
Izuku, Luna, and Katsuki collectively felt the dreadful aura emanating out of nowhere from Tomura's Quirk combination attack.
"Hey, Deku! Luna!" Katsuki spoke. "You feel that?"
"Yeah, I feel it." Izuku replied.
"Me too." Luna responded.
Then suddenly, Tomura caught up and appeared before Izuku, Luna, and Katsuki. In an instant, Tomura's dangerous aura emanated around three UA students, causing them to come across a dreadful image of their disintegrating deaths.
"This echo in my brain. I know what it wants." Tomura said. He reached his hands out towards Izuku and Luna, who were starting to crumble into pieces along with Katsuki. "Izuku Midoriya. Luna Yagi. Give me One For All and Divine Trinity."
At the last minute, Gran Torino suddenly rushed in and grabbed the three UA students before flying away from Tomura in the opposite direction.
"Gran Torino!" Luna cried out.
"After I heard One For All and Divine Trinity over the radio, I was afraid he would track you down." Gran Torino said. "Were you three planning to fight him by yourselves? Nonsense. Shigaraki's Decay destroys everything it touches! The smallest piece of that debris could kill you on contact. He's not someone you can handle on your own."
"Well, we can try." Izuku argued.
"Don't forget. The pro heroes aren't dead yet!" Gran Torino interrupted as he narrowed his eyes. "Those of us left will handle him."
As Gran Torino hurried away with the three UA students, Tomura was preparing to rush after Izuku and Luna. But Ryukyu's dragon wings generated huge gusts of winds that disrupted Tomura's concentration and sent him flying away into the sky. Ryukyu rushed towards Tomura and prepared to strike him with her dragon claw. Tomura placed his hand on her claw, but his face went shocked and he was once again knocked away when his Decay didn't work on the Dragoon Hero.
As Tomura was falling from the sky, he looked down and caught the sight of Aizawa emerging onto the scene and staring up at him with his Erasure. Rock Lock was assisting the Erasure Hero while Manual manipulated water from his fingertips and moistened Aizawa's eyes as eye drops, preventing him from blinking and suffering from dry eye.
"Wow. You're still pretty cool, aren't you, Eraser Head?" Tomura said with a smile. He then took out and held up his communicator in his hand. "Kill everyone you see on the surface."
At the same time, Endeavor charged forward towards his sidekick Kido, who manipulated his bandages into a large circle. Endeavor flew through Kido's bandages, which changed the number one hero's trajectory and sent him rushing straight up at Tomura while enveloping his entire body with blazing fire.
Endeavor finally appeared right in front of Tomura as he charged his body with massive flames. Tomura stared at the number one hero with a wide grin on his face.
Endeavor unleashed a powerful combination of Hell Spider and Prominence Burn to attack Tomura at the same time. But unfortunately, an unfazed Tomura dodged out of the way with a flick of his left wrist, leaving Endeavor staring at him in shock.
Down below, Aizawa looked on in shock since he hadn't released Erasure yet. He, along with Endeavor, silently realized that Tomura's physical strength was enhanced almost close to All Might-level physical strength since he wasn't completely powerless under Aizawa's Quirk.
Ryukyu swung her dragon claw to strike Tomura, who swiftly dodged away. Tomura then dodged Endeavor's flames with his fast movements. With a smile, Tomura continued dodging Ryukyu and Endeavor's Quirk attacks.
Gran Torino dropped Izuku, Luna, and Katsuki on the ground of a safe spot away from the fight.
"You should be safe here." Gran Torino said.
"His power. Erasure took it just now, right?" Izuku asked.
"Yes." Gran Torino replied. "He's weakened, if only slightly."
"What, did you get tired?" Katsuki asked. "Why are we still so close to him?"
"Luna and I trust Gran Torino." Izuku said.
"So, Bakugo knows about the secret, right? Toshinori told me." Gran Torino said. "We can't go much further. Shigaraki's moving faster than anyone could have expected." He looked up to watch the raging battle between Ryukyu and Endeavor & Tomura from the sky. "Few will be able to follow him. And now that our comms have gone down. If he chases you too far out, no one will be able to catch up. You stopped him temporarily, got him away from the civilians, and put him within Eraser's field of vision. Those are quite the accomplishment. I'll go back and keep your teacher on the move."
"Wait, are you saying we're just supposed to hide?" Luna asked. "I'm sorry, Gran Torino. But we can't do that."
"All For One's Quirks were transplanted into Shigaraki. That's what Present Mic said, anyway." Gran Torino said.
Gran Torino's words immediately caught Izuku, Luna, and Katsuki's attention.
"Say what?" Luna gasped.
"So that means that he can…" Izuku said.
"All For One. It allowed its user to take Quirks from others. Then the user could keep the quirks for himself or give them to someone else. I can't imagine a worse scenario than him stealing One For All and Divine Trinity. Who could defeat him then?" Gran Torino said in a serious tone. He formed a smirk on his face. "Right now, he's just one person. If we can't stop him, then what's the point of there being so many heroes in this world?"
Somewhere else, Burnin began leading a populous number of heroes to assist the pro heroes in fighting Tomura.
Then suddenly, a horde of Nomus emerged out of the dusty smoke and charged in front of Burnin and the heroes, who all looked stunned by the monsters' sudden appearances.
Even Gran Torino, Izuku, Luna, and Katsuki couldn't believe what they're seeing with wide, stunned eyes and gaping mouths.
"No!" Izuku gasped.
"Where did they come from?" Katsuki cried.
"I thought they were destroyed!" Luna exclaimed.
"The whole lab should've crumbled to dust in that Decay wave!" Gran Torino asked. "So how are there Nomus here?!"
Review and enjoy.
