Mr. Compass gazed down at the silent Tomura.
"You're no better, Shigaraki. Remember why you summoned us here? We were supposed to gather together and create a spectacle. What'd you have to go and get beaten up for? Now we're trapped!" Mr. Compress shouted in exasperation. His voice changed into determination. "It's just as Spinner said. We haven't done anything yet. Not Dabi. Nor Toga. Nor I. None of us have achieved our dreams! This cannot be where our performance ends!"
"Blackout Bind!" Best Jeanist shouted.
Best Jeanist controlled his carbon fiber threads and ensnared Spinner and Mr. Compass's necks, suffocating them into submission that will lead them to the state of unconsciousness.
This cannot be where our performance ends! Mr. Compass grunted.
Best Jeanist continued ensnaring his carbon fiber threads around Mr. Compress, Spinner, and Tomura as tightly as he can.
"I loved…being in…the League of Villains, Spinner!" Mr. Compass shouted as he struggled to speak through the binding carbon fiber thread around his neck.
"What're you…talking about?" Spinner questioned in a strained voice.
"Our boss…is the key…" Mr. Compass answered. "I'll…buy you time…to wake him up. Use it well. Every good show…requires teamwork. This is my duty to my bloodline. The reason I'm here!"
With an agonizing groan, Mr. Compress gouged his own flesh on his right leg with his Quirk. That immediately caught Best Jeanist by surprise. After freeing himself from Best Jeanist's carbon fiber restraints, Mr. Compress shrank Spinner and Tomura into a small marble before catching it in his hand.
Mirio and Iida quickly noticed Mr. Compress's sudden escape, but they were too busy dealing with the Near High-End Nomus.
"Don't think you're the only ones risking your lives for a cause!" Mr. Compass shouted. He landed on Gigantomachia's back and began to flee. "Now, keep your eyes peeled. This will be the performance of a lifetime!"
Best Jeanist still couldn't believe Mr. Compass would use his Quirk to carve up his own body, but he stayed focused and manipulated the fabric threads on Mr. Compass's clothes to imprison the villain and prevent him from escaping out of his sight. Unfortunately, Mr. Compass diminished his clothes and mutilated more parts of his body with his Quirk at the same time.
He got away! Best Jeanist thought with wide, bloody eyes.
As Mr. Compress kept running, he quickly compressed Skeptic into a small marble. But his balance started to decline while continuing to bleed from his body parts.
Meanwhile, Shoto and Dabi continued clashing with each other in the sky. Shoto's Flashfire Fist: Jet Kindling and Dabi's Flashfire Fist: Jetburn collided at full force, but Dabi's firepower immediately overwhelmed Shoto's own firepower, causing him to fall to the ground. But Aisha quickly rocketed and caught her boyfriend in her arms before landing safely on the ground just as Nightshade and Opalite followed Aisha from behind. Aisha, Nightshade, and Opalite checked on Shoto, who knelt on the ground with gritted teeth. They stood slightly closer from Izuku when he woke up from being knocked out by Dabi's increasing heat of his blue flames.
"I'm sorry, Shoto. We'll dance again later." Dabi said as he glanced down at the unconscious Endeavor. "Enji Todoroki hasn't suffered enough to break, and there's no point in continuing if he's knocked out. Too bad, little masterpiece!"
"Dabi! Quick!" Mr. Compress called out.
Mr. Compass soared down to Mr. Compass, who condensed him into a small marble. He grabbed the marble in his hand and landed on Gigantomachia's back. He then removed his mask and positioned himself for the heroes to witness him. At the same time, Best Jeanist released several more carbon fiber wires just as Mirio rushed towards Mr. Compass's direction while Iida and Nejire continued combating against the Near High-End Nomus. Once Mr. Compass released Spinner and Tomura from the compressing marble, he quickly rushed forward towards their heroes with his bleeding body. But Mirio delivered a swift, powerful punch to Mr. Compass's face, easily knocking him unconscious. What the heroes didn't know is that Mr. Compass stealthily concealed two marbles that contained Dabi and Skeptic in Spinner's scarf.
"Now's our chance! Dammit, wake up, Shigaraki!" Spinner shouted as he tried to wake Tomura up from his unconsciousness.
Spinner caught the sight of the embalmed hand in Tomura's pocket. Just as Mirio dashed forward and readied to strike his fist, Spinner grabbed the embalmed hand and placed it on Tomura's face.
Then suddenly, Tomura's red eyes opened wide and he unleashed a devastating wide-range blast of electromagnetic pulse throughout the area, knocking Mirio and Mr. Compass away off of Gigantomachia's back. The waveforms of electromagnetic pulse pushing some of the UA students back on the battlefield.
"I must say, Tomura has some admirable friends." All for One spoke through Tomura's mouth as several cracks began to form on Tomura's body. "Power is drawn from the heart. The more he embraces the pain and hatred born from his past trauma, the stronger my will becomes within this body." He released a gleeful smile on Tomura's face. "Long live the king, Tomura."
Elsewhere, Burnin and the rest of the heroes watched as all Near High-End Nomus abruptly stopped fighting for a moment. Before the heroes took the opportunity to take the monsters out, the Near High-End Nomus rushed and headed their way to All For One.
Without hesitation, Burnin and the other heroes quickly chased after the Nomus.
All for One struggled to open Tomura's hand while maintaining his protege's trembling body.
"This is why the Radio Waves Quirk is so crucial. It can be used to send long-distance signals to the Nomu." All for One said. "Though it's difficult for Tomura since he's a mere hatchling."
Every Near High-End Nomu dashed past the UA students and headed towards Tomura. But Best Jeanist swiftly restrained them with the carbon fiber wires, giving the UA students a chance to fight back with everything they got.
"Boss. How do you want to attack them?" Spinner asked.
"We're withdrawing." All for One replied.
"Wait, you wanna run?" Spinner asked with a shocked expression on his face. "We can't do that! Compress is hurt bad! And Machia's not going anywhere. Toga's supposed to be heading this way, too!" He stepped forward and placed his hand on Tomura's shoulder. "You're going to abandon your comrades?"
"Hold your tongue, Iguchi." All for One replied calmly.
"'Did you say Iguchi?" Spinner muttered in bewilderment. He moved his hand off of Tomura's shouder. "Hold on. Who are you?"
"Tomura already lost this fight. To One For All and Endeavor. He awoke before his body modifications could be completed. Unfortunately, this meant his regeneration abilities were lacking and no match for the assembled heroes." All for One explained. "That's why I came to lend my aid. The poor boy's body is in dire need of rest."
"I don't know what you're going on about, but you can't run away and leave your teammates behind!" Spinner.
"Yes, I can." All for One confirmed.
Spinner gasped.
"It's only fair that Tomura pays for his failures. Remember, this is all for my sake." All For One added.
"The League is gathering in the same spot the Nomu are headed. Dabi's probably there, too." Best Jeanist notified loudly. "Do not let them escape!"
Mirio swiftly sprinted himself onto Gigantomachia's back. Shoto released his fire under his left boot and propelled himself forward into the air. Aisha soared and rocketed with a strong boost of psychokinesis while carrying Opalite and Nightshade.
Bakugo, Luna, and Izuku, on the other hand, settled drowsily on the ground.
"Output level 100! Spiraling flood. Nejire Flood!" Nejire declared as she launched a massive blast of spiraling energy towards the Near High-End Nomus.
"Recipro Turbo!" Iida exclaimed as he enhanced the power and speed of his Engines into an incredible overdrive.
With fierce determination, Mirio phased through the sharp spikes on Gigantomachia's back as he charged towards All for One at full speed.
"The Permeation Quirk, huh?" All for One remarked.
All For One launched several black and red tendrils straight at Mirio, who dodged them and prepared to strike a punch. But the black and red tendrils redirected and pierced Mirio's back that instantly knocked him out on the surface of Gigantomachia's back.
"I have no patience for attacks I can't predict." All for One remarked.
Shoto, Aisha, Nightshade, Opalite, and Iida rushed towards All for One all at once.
"Still, they swarm." All for One mumbled.
All for One raised his right hand and created a circular compressed air shield, blasting Shoto, Aisha, Nightshade, Opalite, and Iida away with a powerful burst of pressurized air.
Some of the Near High-End Nomus had managed to break free from the carbon fiber wires, causing Best Jeanist to cough out blood from his mouth. Then, the Near High-End Nomus began dashing on Gigantomachia's back and all the way towards All for One.
"Now. Time to go." All for One said.
Meanwhile, Luna and Izuku struggled to lift their bodies off the ground while mentally encouraging themselves to take action and fight All For One and his Near High-End Nomus.
Best Jeanist thrusted his hand forward and extended several more carbon fiber wires toward the Near High-End Nomus, but all the wires failed to reach them as the Nomus already began to depart with All For One and Spinner.
All For One then turned his head to the sound of a loud burst and saw Izuku and Luna launching themselves toward his direction.
"Hm? You two haven't given up yet?" All For One remarked.
Luna propelled herself forward with the speeding boost of her Dazzling Wings as Izuku advanced ahead with a dexterous combination of Float and Blackwhip: Froppy Style.
"I'd say these children's tenacity is comparable to All Might's." All For One noted.
All For One lifted his right arm again and sent off five black and red tendrils at Izuku and Luna. But Luna and Izuku dodged them with swift speed. Luna grabbed Izuku's arms and Izuku launched a long black and teal energy tendril out of his mouth that affixed to the right side of Tomura's body.
"The useless Izuku Midoriya and the worthless Luna Yagi. Let's meet again when this body's complete."All For One said.
"You better keep your mouth shut, All For One!" Izuku and Luna yelled.
All For One raised his right hand once again. But this time, a glow of yellow light brightened from the hole on his palm.
"I'll see you soon." All For One said.
All For One unleashed a powerful burst of pressurized air from his circular compressed air shield that launched Luna and Izuku away backwards.
Before falling unconscious on the ground, the blurry-eyed Izuku and Luna watched as All For One retreated with Spinner and the Near High-End Nomus.
Shigaraki...You killed so many. Everybody is in pain. There's no way I can forgive you. Never. Izuku thought in anger.
But…Back there, when you were being overtaken by All For One. I saw it. So clearly. You looked like you wanted to be saved! Luna added softly.
With destruction and chaos presented all over the battlefield, the intense aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation War had officially concluded. The other remaining heroes relentlessly raced to provide urgent assistance throughout the destroyed Jaku City.
Best Jeanist, Katsuki, Endeavor, Mirio, Shoto, Aisha, Opalite, Nightshade, Iida, Nejire, Gigantomachia, and many other heroes went completely blacked out on the battlefield.
Mirko, Aizawa, Morganite, Gran Torino, and Ryukyu were placed on the hospital beds unconsciously with severe injuries.
Izuku and Luna laid on their backs as they gazed at the clear sky from above for a moment. Then, their eyes closed shut and they entered into a state of unconsciousness.
Enjoy and review.
