Chapter 79.
Defeating the past.
- "Aberrations like you shouldn't exist... but you can be useful." –
Fire and ice collide, Yuki and Dabi continue their fight. – "How the f*ck did she survived Hades? I made that attack especially for him!" – Dabi thought.
- "I have to admit... that attack would have killed me if at the last second I hadn't covered my body with a thick layer of ice!"- Yuki said. – "And despite that you managed to hurt me."-
Indeed, although Yuki survived Dabi's attack with almost no injuries, his arms and part of his face have a few burns.
- "However, I can't say the same about you!"- Yuki said.
Dabi knows what Yuki is referring to, his right arm, right part of his torso and face have severe burns, he took a risk thinking that he would end the fight with one movement and now the fight just got complicated.
- "You and I may not be so different in terms of origin... but I am stronger!"- Yuki said.
- "Dammit… This is going to be complicated..."- Dabi thought.
- "Let's see fire boy... let's see who will achieve its goal!"- Yuki said. – "We are both aberrations which should have disappeared when the time came... but we both survived and now you only live for revenge!"-
- "Aberration... aberration you will be!"- Dabi said. – "I consider myself more as the consequence of my father's sins, I will take care of his judgment!"-
Fire and ice collide again.
- "It's true... I am the aberration... but not because I wanted to be..."- Yuki thought. – "Rather because they turned me into this..." -

Flashback.
- "We all know what happens to blood traitors!"- The patriarch of the Himura says that while he is on a stage, on the same stage there are four more people, two are members of the Himura, while the other two people are kneeling being completely subdued.
- "Kill them!"- One person in the crowd said.
- "That traitor does not deserve to be alive, kill him along with that witch!"- Another one said.
- "No! Mom, Dad! Why do you do this?!"- A 4 year old Yuki said, all this while being held by two more people.
- "Shut up you aberration!"- One of them said. – "They are the example of what happens if you betray the Himura family."-
- "But you don't have to worry! You will be next!"- The other one said.
- "Those who betray blood will be punished with death!"- The patriarch said.
- "Yeah!"-
- "Show them!"-
- "Maje them pay!"-
- "No!"- Yuki was the only one who protested.
Apart from Yuki, everyone else cheers what is happening, all except one person, a woman with short white hair who just watches everything, her eyes show displeasure at everything that happened but her expression is impassive.
- "Many have escaped this fate... because of them our power has spread throughout the world... but these here could not escape!"- The patriarch said. – "Make them pay!"-
The two executioners create ice blades with which they cut off the couple's head.
Everyone begins to celebrate and cheer what happened, meanwhile Yuki only sees the bodies of her lifeless parents.
- "Bring on the aberration! It's its turn!"- The patriarch said.
- "Yes!"- The guys who subdue Yuki begin to carry her but one of them notices that his hands are starting to get cold, when he sees his hands he notices that ice is starting to emerge from Yuki's body. – "What the…"-
- "AAAAHHH!"- Yuki lets out a piercing scream and suddenly a large amount of ice emerges around her, impaling the two people who were subduing her.
- "What the f*ck!"-
- "What's going on?"-
- "That damned aberration... it dares to develop ice powers!"- The patriarch thought whit anger. – "Kill the aberration!"-
Yuki continues screaming and suddenly the ice she created breaks and begins to gather, creating several ice stakes.
- "Impossible... Generation and manipulation of ice?! That's impossible... unless..."- The patriarch thought while Yuki throws the ice stakes killing several people, the patriarch manages to protect himself by creating a wall of ice. – "Complete control…"-
- "I hate you... I hate all of you!"- Yuki said. – "Die! I'm going to kill you all!"-
However, despite everything, due to the mental exhaustion of seeing her parents die and the suddenness of Yuki's quirk awakening, she falls to the ground fainting.
This is taken advantage of by a person who creates a blade of ice and tries to kill Yuki but is stopped by the patriarch. – "What are you doing, sir?"- The man asked.
- "Don't kill her... she can be useful to us."- The patriarch said.
- "What are you saying?! And break the family rules?"- The man asked.
- "That was complete control... it's been generations since a Himura was born with that... and she has it."- The patriarch said. – "If we can make her give us offspring... the Himura will recover our old power!"-
- "But...she's not pure blood."- The man said.
The patriarch looks around, except for the corpses, no one else is there. - "No one has to know that if we hide it, when it reaches the age to give us offspring we will use it so that the next generation of Himura are born with full power and when it is no longer useful to us we will get rid of it."- The patriarch said.
- "Yes... I suppose you are right... very well, as you order, sir."- The guy said and then dragged Yuki to a place to lock her up.
What the two didn't know is that one person heard it all, the woman with short white hair, the woman who was the only one, apart from Yuki, who didn't enjoy what happened.
Yuki wakes up, everything seems to have been a nightmare, the girl tries to move but quickly notices that her arms and legs are immobilized, at that moment she realizes that she is chained by her hands and feet in a dark room.
- "Where am I?"- Yuki thought. – "Mom, Dad, where are you?"-
The room is dark, dirty, stinks and hardly anyone could live comfortably here, the only thing there is a door with a barred window, as if it were a prison.
The door opens revealing the patriarch of the Himura who looks at Yuki with a mixture of distaste and interest. – "You're alive, that's good."- He said.
- "You!"- Yuki said and tries to generate ice but to her surprise she finds herself unable to do so.
- "Don't waste your energy trying, or do it, I don't care, this room is built with the intention that we can't generate ice."- The patriarch said.
- "And what are you going to do to me?"- Yuki asked.
- "Nothing at the moment, but I won't kill you."- The patriarch said. – "You see, you have a power that has not been seen in the Himura for a long time, so we will use you so that the Himura recovers those powers."-
- "I don't want to help you."- Yuki said.
- "You don't understand... you have no choice, we will keep you alive until you give us what we need, after that we will get rid of you."- The patriarch said. – "I don't need to explain anything else to you, I just came to make sure you were alive, it would be a waste for you to die so soon, you see… Aberrations like you shouldn't exist... but you can be useful."-
And after these words, the patriarch leaves, leaving Yuki alone, only having herself to keep herself sane.
And so the days go by, the days become weeks, the weeks become months and the months become years, two years to be exact.
Two years where Yuki spends her time alone, in the dark, the only social interaction is when someone comes to feed her and feeding her sounds good but the only thing they do is make her swallow the leftovers of the day's food or expired food, only quantities necessary to keep her alive.
At six years old, her hair has grown until it reaches the ground, her white color is now gray thanks to all the dust and completely misaligned, her body is thin, some of her bones are marked, mainly her collarbone, her nails are dirty and long. Her clothes only consist of a tattered gray dress, with some holes because it is so old, it barely covers what is necessary for her body.
- "How long has it been? I don't know... every day is the same... I just want to die... but they wouldn't let me die..."- She thought, despite being only six years old, she knows very well what they are going to do to her, she has listened, she has learned and now, being just a six-year-old girl, she has heard things that even some adults have never heard. – "It's five minutes until lunchtime... if the things they feed me can be considered that way..."- Another thing that Yuki has learned is to count second by second, she has learned the exact time it takes between meals, she has learned the exact time it takes for people to come and she has even learned to identify who is going to feed her by just hearing the person's footsteps.
But something was different today, some steps are approaching but these steps are in a hurry, no one has ever been in a hurry to come see her.
- "Hey, who are you and what are you doing here?!"- A guard said. – "What are you… no!"- Suddenly a roar is heard outside and the door opens, Yuki looks at the person in front of her and is surprised, it is not a person who knows that she is here, since there are few people who know that she is alive and all of them are aware. so much of what will be done with her.
The person in front of her is dressed in a black sweatshirt, black pants and black shoes, the cap of the sweatshirt obscures its facial features, even the sweatshirt hides its gender as it is loose.
- "I'm going to get you out of here, I promise."- The person said, the voice is definitely that of a woman. – "Sorry it took so long but I had to get this."-
From the sweatshirt the unknown woman takes out a key and with it she frees Yuki from the chains who does nothing to attack this unknown person. – "Your suffering is over."- The woman extends her hand to Yuki who stares at her but after a bit of hesitation decides to take this person's hand. – "No one will hurt you again, I promise."-
Without thinking, the two run as fast as they can to escape from this place.
…
…
…
- "There she is!"- A member of the Himura family said finally facing the unknown person, however Yuki is nowhere to be found.
- "I must admit... I underestimated you." – The patriarch said while snapping his finger and two guys restrained the unknown woman. – "Now we see who it is..."-
The patriarch unmasks the woman, revealing the woman with short white hair.
- "As I assumed, none other than the black sheep... Rei Himura."- The patriarch said. – "I've always wanted to take care of you since you professed such nonsense, but now I finally have a reason to get rid of you, but first, where is that aberration?"-
- "Her name is Yuki and you will never find her, by this point she must be far from here."- Rei said.
- "Whatever… She probably won't survive out here on her own, so it doesn't matter."- The patriarch said as he leaves, the people drag Rei with them. – "But with you... I have something very special for you."-
Without them knowing, hidden, Yuki saw everything, with tears in her eyes Yuki runs away from the place, she will never forget the name of the woman who risked her life to save her, what she does not know is that Rei will not suffer the same fate of her parents.
- "I'm not afraid of dying."- Rei said.
- "That's the fun thing... I won't kill you; I have something else planned for you."- The patriarch said. – "You see... the family has had financial problems and someone came to offer us a good amount of money in exchange for a family member to create "the perfect child" I don't know what the hell that means but I don't care."-
- "So are you going to sell me to someone for money?"- Rei asked. - "Would you risk me telling someone the truths about our family?"-
- "He already knows about that and he also knows that arranged marriages are very frowned upon, so we agreed that no one will say anything about this deal."- The patriarch said. – "And don't worry, we won't come after you or any of your offspring, after all your future husband will be a hero."-
- "What the…"-
- "His name is Enji Todoroki, the flaming hero, Endeavor."- The patriarch said. – "So if you promise to behave, we won't hunt that abomination anymore, we'll leave it alone so it can die alone."-
Rei remains silent until she decides to respond. - "…Fine."-
…
…
…
A month after her escape, Yuki now lives on the streets, at least it's better than where she used to live, she learned to defend herself, she learned to hide, she learned to survive.
Yuki looks for food in a trash container behind a restaurant, she doesn't notice someone approaching her. – "So you are that famous girl who managed to escape from the Himura."- A person said behind her, Yuki turns around and prepares an ice blast. – "Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you."- In front of Yuki is none other than a young Hiro, barely 25 years old, next to him there are 5 people, the famous silver guard, Animalia, Rain, Dasy, Bouncy and... Hone.
- "Who are you?"- Yuki asked.
- "My name is Hiro and I have a proposal for you."- Hiro said. – "I know very well what happened, so I have a proposal for you."-
- "How do you know what happened?"- Yuki asked.
- "I have ears everywhere, including your family, the Himura."- Hiro said.
- "They are not my family; they killed my only family..."- Yuki said. – "I'm going to kill each and every one of them."-
- "In your current state you will not achieve it."- Hiro said. – "But join me, use my resources to become stronger so you can take revenge, instead I only ask for loyalty to me from you."-
- "Why me?"- Yuki asked.
- "You have a very special power, the same reason why the Himura kept you alive, you have complete control, an ability lost over time that gives the user the power to generate and manipulate ice, the Himura all had that ability but they lost it over the time."- Hiro said.
– "Complete control? Do I have a special ability?"- Yuki asked.
- "Yes, and with it you will end all those who treated you badly, make them regret having left you alive."- Hiro said as he extends his hand to Yuki. – "What do you say?"-
Yuki looks at Hiro's hand and with a serious expression she takes it.
…
…
…
A few years later.
The patriarch of the Himura, now almost reaching 60 years old, is sitting on his bed, age has already taken its toll on him and now it is tiring for him to do his job, next to him are two Himura nurses who help him in anything he needs.
Outside the three hear a roar and screams, but the patriarch doesn't care, what they are doing outside is of no importance to him, his guards protect him and they are the best of the best of the Himura.
Suddenly a blast of ice destroys the doors of his room, the ice passes through and kills the two nurses and a third spike of ice pierces his right shoulder. – "What the fuck is happening?"- He said.
Suddenly Yuki appears from the ice. – "Guess old man."- Yuki said, venom in her voice.
- "You!"- The patriarch said. – "How the hell are you still alive?!"-
- "That's none of your business… The only important thing is what will happen to you, damn old man."- Suddenly the ice stake on the patriarch's shoulder explodes and severs his arm.
The patriarch screams in pain as Yuki slowly approaches him. – "Do you feel it? That's because of my parents."- Yuki said.
- "Damn aberration... I should have killed you when I had the chance."- The patriarch said.
- "You didn't do it and now... now you will suffer the consequences."- Yuki creates an ice blade in her hand and with it cuts off the patriarch's head.
Yuki leaves the house and looks around; everything is covered in several icebergs and the only thing around is the rubble of houses and Himura's corpses. – "There are only very few left."- Yuki thought as her bracelet rings. – "Now what happens?"- Yuki looks at her bracelet and notices that it is a call from Alpha with the phrase "code gold".
- "The time has come..."- Yuki said and then walked away from the place, the Himura compound no longer exists and the only Himura that are left alive are people who were lucky enough not to be here now, she will hunt them all, she will not leave anyone alive, she will do it for her, for her parents and for the woman who saved her, Rei.
Flashback end.
…
…
…
The memories of the past, the memories that always haunt her, those memories made her let her guard down a little, allowing Dabi to land a fiery punch at Yuki, directly to the chest.
The blow brought her back to the present, Yuki quickly uses the ice to stop herself and get back up, the punch, having been delivered to his burned arm, was not as powerful.
- "You don't want to risk burning the only parts that remain intact..."- Yuki said to Dabi.
- "That's right... I don't want to risk the parts of my body that are not completely burned yet, the entire right side of my body is burned, if I want to use my left side I have to do it at the exact moment, to deliver the final blow!"- Dabi thought.
- "That is a serious mistake!"- Yuki said as he attacks Dabi with several pieces of ice.
- "This is going to hurt…"- Dabi thought as he lights up his right arm. – "Hell Spider!"- The Hell Spider destroys the ice, forcing Yuki to move with his ice platform to avoid the attack.
Yuki quickly creates a large hand of ice which he shoots at Dabi, managing to grab him and slam him against the wall, Yuki looks to her left, there is the body of her deceased teammate, Cheetah, a few centimeters in front is the one who killed him, Himiko Toga. – "How pathetic... I will not have the same fate."- Yuki retracts the ice hand and then fires it at the ceiling, with Dabi included, managing to go through it until reaching the main floor, where Yamikumo, Zack and Hiro were fighting before going through the ceiling and now fighting on it.
Dabi quickly lights his fire surrounding his body and thus destroying the ice hand.
Yuki emerges from the hole in the ground and then attacks Dabi with several ice stakes, Dabi quickly lights up his feet and using the fire he propels himself into the air to avoid the ice stakes, after which he charges at Yuki who avoids him with her ice platform, Dabi shoots several fireballs at her.
However, the blue fire spheres do not disappear and when Yuki is in the middle of all of them, they connect with Dabi's fingers. – "I got you! Hell Spider!"- The lines of fire converge on Yuki who quickly covers herself with ice armor to protect herself from the attack.
Yuki emerges from the smoke, her ice armor destroyed, but she is unharmed by the attack. – "Is that all you have?!"- Yuki said as she charges at Dabi.
Yuki is very close to Dabi but is surprised when he expels a large amount of fire, burning the intact parts of his skin that remained. – "Of course not... Flashfire Fist: Jet Burn!"- Dabi fires a large amount of fire at point-blank range at Yuki who eats the attack completely.
Dabi, now with his entire body burned, only looks towards the smoke resulting from the attack, his body is burned and even his eye sockets are completely darkened, even so this does not end, from the smoke Yuki emerges, with an even more powerful ice armor than the previous one, the armor only covers half of her face, her legs and her left arm.
- "No... this can't be..."- Dabi thought as Yuki approached him.
- "His body is completely charred by his own quirk; he must be on his last legs... just one more hit and his body will crumble into cinders!"- Yuki thought as she prepares a punch with her hand which is not covered in ice. – "I won't even need my ice to finish you off!"- Unable to do anything to defend himself, Dabi is hit by Yuki directly in the center of the chest.
…
…
…
Dabi looks around, everything is white, as if it were the other world, he looks at himself and notices that his appearance is the same as before Katsuma cured him, black hair and everything. – "Where am I?"- He asked to himself.
- "I can't answer that question... but I'm glad we're here."- A person said, a person who appeared in front of him and who he immediately recognized.
- "You... how come you are here?"- Dabi said. – "You're supposed to be dead… I killed you."-
- "That's what I thought... but apparently I'm still here."- The person said.
- "What are you doing here?"- Dabi asked. – "Toya Todoroki."-
In front of him is the same man but with his appearance after Katsuma cured him, only instead of wearing his villain costume he is wearing civilian clothes. – "The truth is... I don't know... I don't know where we are or what we're doing here..."- "Toya" said. – "But I'm glad we're here so we can talk."-
- "There's nothing to talk about."- Dabi said. – "You no longer exist; I am all that remains."-
- "Are you sure?"- "Toya" asked. – "Because the words you said in Nabu say the opposite."-
- "My name is Toya! And I will give everything to protect this boy!"- Dabi remembers.
- "That was just because of the heat of the battle."- Dabi said.
- "Dabi..."- "Toya" said. – "It's time to let him go... we can't continue with this supposed revenge."-
- "What the fuck are you talking about?!"- Dabi asked with fury. – "Are you saying that you forgive him despite everything he did to us?!"-
- "No... I will never forgive him for what he did to us... but I don't think we should continue with that hatred either."- "Toya" said. – "That will only consume us and destroy us."-
- "What are you talking about?"- Dabi asked.
- "You don't see it, right? Despite everything we say despite what we do... he continues to control us."- "Toya" said. – "We continue to allow him to control our lives."-
- "But... we do this to ruin his life!"- Dabi said.
- "And that is why he continues to control us... everything we do is for him; everything has to do with him... his influence continues to control us."- "Toya" said. – "That's why as long as we continue like this... we will never be truly free."-
- "I… I don't get it…"- Dabi said. – "That can't be…"-
- "Do you remember the times when we have really been happy... or at least we have not felt the pressure to get things done? Where at least we could enjoy the present a little?"- "Toya" asked.
Dabi thinks, he can only remember two occasions. – "In Nabu and... when we were coming here... mainly on the cruise."- Dabi said.
- "In those moments we stopped thinking about father, we stopped being controlled by him... we decided for ourselves, his influence did not follow us."- "Toya" said. – "We managed to make friends, Atanagi, Jin, and we even managed to make something more than a friendship... Himiko... she is special to us, and you know it, we can no longer deny it."-
- "All of that... by leaving that bastard's influence aside... by being ourselves..."- Dabi said.
- "I'm not saying that we forget... just that we turn the page, that we don't let the past control us anymore, that we finally be free."- "Toya" said as he extends his arm to Dabi. – "It's time for you to rest, Dabi, your time is up, leave the rest to me."-
Dabi tries to reach for "Toya's" hand but for a moment he hesitates, is this really the right thing to do?
Closing his eyes and taking a breath he makes a decision.
Without thinking twice he takes "Toya's" hand.
"Toya" smiles. - "You did the right thing."- He said.
Dabi smiles as he begins to disappear into blue fire. – "You better win... and when you survive, if you do, you better give our girl a good kiss."- Dabi said.
- "Shut up and disappear."- Toya said.
- "It was fun while it lasted."- Dabi said to disappear.
After Dabi disappeared everything begins to light up, Toya closes his eyes, ready to take over.
…
…
…
Yuki is completely surprised, not only did her blow not work, but it does also not seem to have done much damage and to her greatest surprise she notices that some ice begins to cover her hand, and she did not generate that ice. – "What the…"- Yuki's surprise only increased when she saw that from various parts of Dabi's body, mainly from open wounds, ice began to emerge, taking a look at Dabi's eyes, Yuki realized that it was not that his sockets were darkened due to having burned his eyes, his eyes are intact since they are covered by a layer of ice. – "Impossible... don't tell me that the..."- Using her quirk Yuko can sense ice inside Toya's body, ice that she can't control and that only means one thing. – "He can also generate ice!"-
Suddenly, Dabi lights his right fist with fire and attacks Yuki, but she manages to block the attack with her left arm, the neck of which is still covered in ice, and then kicks Dabi away. – "Now I see what happened... he covered his insides with ice, his skin may be burned but all his organs, muscles, everything under his skin is intact because of the layer of ice he put on... but... Why doesn't he use that ice?"- Yuki thought as he watches Dabi observe himself, it seems that this surprised him too. – "Don't tell me that... he never knew about this and he just discovered it..."-
- "Wow… I didn't know I could do this..."- Dabi said to himself before smiling. – "Who would say..."- Dabi said and then shot towards Yuki using his fire to propel himself. – "I am also a masterpiece!"-
Yuki shoots several ice thorns at Dabi who does nothing to dodge them, several stab into his body but as soon as they stab they melt due to the temperature of his flames. – "You say we are the same... but you are wrong..."- Dabi manages to hold on to Yuki and begins to rise into the air. – "You are still and will always remain trapped in the past!"-
Dabi continues to rise even as they cross the hole that Yamikumo made, rising even higher in the sky, all before the eyes of Yamikumo, Zack and Hiro. – "What the… that's Dabi."- Yamikumo said.
- "What is he doing?"- Zack asked.
- "Yuki... what the fuck are you doing?!"- Hiro said.
- "Up here I won't hurt anyone I care about!"- Dabi thought. – "You said we are equal... and to a certain extent we are... you are me... no… you are what I would have become..."- He reflected as he continued to rise, all while having Yuki trapped in his arms. – "That's why I must leave the past behind!"-
Dabi begins to release a large amount of fire, although Yuki tries to cover himself with ice it is useless, as soon as the ice comes out, it evaporates.
- "I will no longer let the past control me!"- Dabi thought as his fire gives rise to a pillar of fire in the air. – "Plus Chaos! Prominence Burn!"- Dabi doesn't stop releasing fire until they are both consumed by his blue flames.
Little by little the two begin to fall from the sky, all before the stunned gaze of Yamikumo, Zack and Hiro, the two fall through the hole in the ceiling and also through the hole in the main floor until they fall on the floor where they were. fighting.
When the smoke disperses there is only one person standing.
Zack looks at everything from the hole and his eyes widen in surprise, he looks at Yamikumo. – "He… He's still standing!"- He said.
Indeed, despite everything, even though his body is very weak, Dabi is still standing, he has finally finished off Yuki who has been completely burned, there is no ice that could have saved her.
Dabi barely stands, looking to his right he can see her, Himiko is there, he tries to reach her but his body gives way and he falls to the ground.
Dabi is the winner of this fight... but I don't know if he can survive this time... nobody knows if any of them will survive after this.
…
…
…
To be continued.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
We finish with Dabi's fight against Yuki, and to compensate for the past chapters that have been somewhat short, I bring this one that is a little longer than normal.
What can I say? I love writing a lot about Endeavor or his family, the Todoroki family is one of the best things My Hero Academia has.
Speaking of the chapter, the half ot it was literally Yuki's past, I didn't expect it to be so long, it only had the key points and at the end it was extended, not only that, we had many revelations and more lore of the Himura family.
As you could see, the end of this fight is a nod to Endeavor's fight against Hood (High End Nomu), even the ending is similar, that has a reason and meaning, I hope you have understood it.
Well, nothing, the next chapter is the end of Yamikumo and Hiro's fight, and also the conclusion of this arc.
I know I've been slower than normal but I've been busy.
Even so, there just little left for this story to end... or not... because I estimate the next arc to have quite a few chapters, we will probably reach or even exceed 100 chapters in this story, so it is still going to be long, and there will also be an epilogue of at least three chapters, in honor of the end of My Hero Academia which also had an extended epilogue.
Well nothing, the next chapter we will continue with this.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
