In the forest:
The Pros/Interns learn that Kawaki is the "Vessel" that Kara is trying to take back as they look on at Kawaki glaring down Garo, who challenges them, "If you want to get in my way, I don't mind taking you all on at the same time."
"What...!" Bakugo sneers.
"But you're first." Garo glares at Kawaki, "I haven't forgotten that you took my chin, but don't worry." He prepares to firing from his mechanical claw, "I'm not gonna kill you... but I'm just gonna hurt you so bad, that you'll wish that you were dead!" He launches off two energy blasts that Kawaki dodges, allowing them to connect to the ground in a dust of smoke. Kawaki dashes out the smoke, running up the cliff in activating his wood-like arm-blade, and does a spinning jump in striking down at the Outer, who blocks with his claw. Garo goes for an elbow attack with his left, but the teen holds that back all the same, with a slight struggle.
"Heheh, I knew it..." Garo chuckles, "You're pretty weak right now"." He adds in noticing, "Capturing you will be a piece of cake."
"Don't make me laugh." Kawaki remarks, unfazed, "My handicap is more than enough to deal with a pig like you, asshole."
Everyone watches on as this exchange begins, especially Boruto, who's Karma flashes in bright blue before he tightens his fist at what he's about to see.
Opening 7 "Hajimatteiku Takamatteiku" by Sambomaster
Starts off with the introduction of Kawaki, who slowly turns around and menacingly raises out his right hand. As he does that, debris starts to levitate around the air as we zoom out to the destruction of Japan before the series title reveals itself.
As the song picks up, we see shots of a few U.A. Students, Boruto(who looks down before gazing up), Izuku(who looks at his scared right hand before gazing forward), Katsuki(who glares with one hand in pocket before un-tightening his right hand to do a mini-explosive), Sarada(who takes off her glasses and activates her Sharingan), Shoto(who looks upward and blows ice fog from his mouth), Mitsuki(who has a snake around his arm/gazes up while sitting on a tree). Next shows some of the Pro heroes(Naruto, All Might, Sasuke, Endeavor, and Shota).
We then cut to the League of Villains, Tomura (with gazes from his hand-mask) the Shins(both serious with their Sharingan's active), and Kurogiri(who opens a portal to his side), along with new recruits: Dabi, Nanashi, Himiko, and Shizuma. With all of them being in the shadow of All for One (who has his back turned in not revealing himself).
Next shows Kawaki in the outskirts and deserted area of Japan as a flock of crows fly nearby. We then move on to Boruto (who's Karma seal activates in his right palm before he closes it) and Izuku (who activates the bio-electricity of One for All around him), along with the rest of Class 1-A in their hero costumes as they all stand in battle positions with firm expressions.
Observing the ruined land of Japan from afar is none other than Kara the Husk, who all have dark black cloaks as the wind breezes through them. We then cut to Kawaki being in what appears to be a test tube and blows a few bubbles as the eye of Kara's leader open gazes over him. This is when the Kara reveals their full appearances, starting with Jigen(who lets down his hood), followed by Delta(who puts a finger under her chin), Boro(who glares under his hood), Amado(who adjusts his glasses), Code(who stretches out an arm), Oga(who smiles nonchalantly), Deepa(who grins evilly), Victor(who frowns with cane in hand), Zorvus(who smirks while looking ahead) and Koji(who smirks with arms crossed over chest). It next shows all members assembled in an alley, with Jigen taking the lead on a stair, with a hand on the side of his head.
As the song heats up, we cut to the destroyed ruins of Japan, showing the entirety of Class 1-A dashing at high speed to engage the members of Kara, splitting up into different fights: Boro fighting off Tenya, Shikadai, and Fumikage before delivering a punch to the dark shadow, a kick to Fumikage, another to Shikadai, and an uppercut to Tenya's chin, knocking his helmet and glasses off. Delta taking on the 1-A girls, mainly 5: She swiftly smacks Momo via electric whip, side-steps a purple aura fist from Sumire and elbows here on the side, then grabs Tsuyu by her frog tongue(the latter tried to restrain the android but failed) and violently throws her into Ochaco(who tried to use her quirk to get a touch in but failed), and then Sarada jumps to try to get a strike in, but ends up repelled by the electric whip and punched in the face, knocking her glasses off. We then switch to Code doing a flip-kick to knock the hardened Eijiro to the ground, dodging snake-strikes from Mitsuki and palms him in the gut before dodging an Ice wave from Shoto, including his fire, before closing the distance and punches him in the chest that sends him flying, he then dodged an explosion from Katsuki, who proceeds to take him on. It next shows Koji engaging in close combat with Boruto, who manages to keep up and avoid his inflamed fists before jumping out the away as Izuku lunges at Koji with a smash, who avoids it at the last minute.
When the smoke clears, the two boys look around and are shocked to see their classmates defeated and unconscious around the battlefield. This causes Izuku to widen/grit his teeth in anger with surging red lines through his body while Boruto yells out in a fit of rage, activating his Karma throughout the right side of his body.
Next shows them fighting the 4 Kara inners, attacking nonstop. A combined attack is launched by Koji and Delta, and as it was about to land, Kawaki jumps into the fray and absorbs the attack, grimacing and revealing his own Karma seal. Surprised by this entry, Katsuki also joins the three, with them having no intention of giving up even while battered.
With the four of them united, they combat against the 4 inners. During this, Kawaki uses a red blast from his Karma, Bakugo uses his gauntlets to form a blast in the same manner respectively, Izuku throws his right fist forward, creating a massive shockwave that's on the level of his mentor while Boruto comes in through the smoke in mid-air and uses a gigantic Rasengan as the final blow. All 4 attacks create a huge explosion in the ruins of Japan, with the large sphere being enough to reach outside of earth.
Last panels show the smoke clearing and them being the only ones left, they're exhausted from fighting and look up at the sunset as it shines down on them and a crow flows by the three, including Kawaki, their new ally, before the song closes.
Chapter 76: Kawaki vs Garo!
From atop the tree, "So? What are you going to do about the heroes down there?" Delta asks the masked Inner.
"You're here now, so we'll figure something out." Koji assures, arms crossed over chest, "Let's just be "spectators" for now, right?"
"..." Delta gives a slight gaze, "Yeah, yeah... fine." She gazes back to the fight.
From there position in the tree, "Depending on who wins, they both could be potential recruitments to the league." Kurogiri states to the hand-masked villain.
"Both, eh? If I were to say that I see someone dying during this fight... I'd say the big guy is." Tomura theorizes, "Because my money's riding on the kid... but we'll just have to see for ourselves on how this will turn out..." He adds as they resuming to the fight.
As the two continue the interlock, Garo uses this chance by aiming his right-mechanical claw to blast at Kawaki, who breaks off the interlock and dodges back. This is when they begin trading strikes in close combat, which goes on for a couple seconds until Kawaki finds in opening and wraps his legs around Garo's head before doing a spin-slam, only for Garo to recover quickly and fend off a blade strike from the half-blonde teen before firing a blast that Kawaki splits in half via arm-blade. Garo isn't done as he leaps in the air and fires off multiple energy blasts that forces Kawaki to dash around in avoiding them. Out of the dust, Kawaki throws a wooden projectile, only for Garo to block before he fires more blasts. Kawaki uses his mobility to cartwheel and backflip to dodge each shot before encasing his feet in wood-like skates to move around. Garo lands on the ground and continues spamming energy blasts, but Kawaki moves in and easily avoids all his attacks and upon dodging the last one, he lands a kick to Garo's mechanical that makes his blast hit the ground. This is when Kawaki gets the upper-hand, landing a couple blows before kicking his wood skates into each side Garo's shoulders and encases his arm into dark-wood, landing an axe-punch to Garo's head, "Gaha!" The Outer grunts as his face bounces off the ground, and by the time he looks up, Kawaki lands an upper-cut straight to his face, sending the Outer flying back.
He recovers by sliding back to a halt as the wood skates come off him, "YOU BASTARD!" Garo exclaims in rage, but quickly blocks off a wood-projectile that allows Kawaki to rush in to try and strike, "OOAAH!" Garo powers up his mechanical slaws and comes down in unleashing a blast in both palms, only for Kawaki to jump over him and dodge, making the impact from his blow send debris in the air.
Using his airborne debris to his advantage, Kawaki maneuvers off of each one and behinds using his arm-blade to slice and dice at every part of Garo's body, to his arms, shoulders, and legs as blood spills out everywhere, "UGH! UAAOOHH!" This in turn enrages Garo even more as he tries to counter attack, but Kawaki easily moves around his claw and lands an axe-kick Garo's face, "Ggh!" making his head tilt sideways, but the Outer immediately lands a headbutt to Kawaki's face in return.
"Gagh!" The half-blonde topples across the ground, but slides to a halt as his nose bled from that blow. By the time he perks up, Garo comes in with a body-slam, which the teen quickly rolls out the way to make him connect to the ground, but this doesn't slow Garo does as he propels himself in the air via mechanical blasts and dives in with both feet. Acting quick, Kawaki forms a wooden-shield and blows the full-power dive, only for Garo to amplifies with more of his claw's blast, making him stagger.
"Out of breath already?!" Garo taunts and does the elbow drop that pins him in place, but Kawaki escapes his grasp quickly and backflips to gain some distance.
"Woah..." Sarada trails, stunned.
"A-Amazing..." Izuku stammers.
"This guy... his skills are off the charts!" Shoto comments, finding this unbelievable.
"It's like we can't get in between them..." Tenya trails, stunned too.
"Tch..." Katsuki scoffs in a sweat, "That half blonde bastard isn't fooling around... so far, he's been kicking that big guy's ass."
"Talk about crazy..." Boruto admits himself.
From his position, "Incredible... their trade of consistent blows, show that they're eventually match." Kurogiri comments.
"Even, huh..." Tomura grumbles otherwise, "Up until now, the kid's been in control of the fight... but now it looks like he's starting to slow down..." He adds, "The fight could go both ways at this point."
Back to the battle, "Aren't you going to come at me?" Garo asks the half-blonde teen as he stands up, "Oh, come on... I hope you're not done yet!" his face begins to red as veins form in his head, "Let me hit you some more!"
Having his right hand encased in wood-like claw armor and making a wooden knife, "..." Kawaki gets into battle position and takes a deep breathe, "Phew..."
This is when the fight resumes as Kawaki rushes in to meet Garo wooden fist-to-mechanical claw. They once again trade hand-to-hand combat blows back and forth, evenly matched, with Garo tanking a couple blows and keeping up easier this time compared to earlier. With the open of his claw hole, he shoots out a projectile that Kawaki rolls out the way to avoid and continues to land constant strikes at the Outer.
"Kuh!" Kawaki blocks a heavy mechanical blow before dodging beneath Garo to avoid another, kicking off his back-engine before recovering to throw a couple wooden projectile to his back. However, he only felt that for a sec and the wooden spikes fell off like nothing happened, surprising Kawaki.
Suddenly, Garo turns around and attacks more aggressively than before, but Kawaki still manages to dodge and blow off every strike and lands an three axe-punches to the Outer's gut, but Garo stood there and was completely unaffected by them. After getting some distance, "?" Kawaki only glares as he doesn't know what's going on, but proceeds to attack the red-faced Outer again, with multiple punch and kicks to his gut and face, but again, all of that does nothing to Garo as he stands there while not feeling a thing.
Kawaki tries pushing his wooden-kick against Garo's gut, but the Outer easily overpowers him, "HAHAHA!" He laughs at that before striking back with his right mechanical claw. Kawaki tries to jump over that, but he's grabbed by the back his shirt and slammed into the ground, btu Garo isn't down and pulls him back up to deliver an axe-mechanical blow.
"GAHA!" Kawaki grunts as he's sent in the air and then toppling on the ground like a ragdoll before flying to a halt, "*pant*pant*" This cause him to huff in exhaustion the further the fight goes on, also with blood dripping down his head and mouth as the result of that last blow. When he slowly gazes forward, Garo fires a blast, which he barely forms a wooden shield in time to block it, but the impact forces him to roll back, just as the blast connects to the ground from afar. "Agh..." By the time Kawaki looks up, Garo is already at his face.
"Heheh!" The Outer (who was crouching down tauntingly), laughs aloud.
"!" Getting back up quickly, Kawaki tries to land some blows in, but they were too slow, make it easy for Garo to sidestep all of them and he grabs the teen from behind with both mechanical arms. Kawaki moves around and struggles to break free, even trying to land an elbow strike to the Outer's face, but it does nothing and in response, Garo performs the suplex, landing a hard blow to Kawaki's back.
After doing a maneuver, Garo roars and throws him high in the air, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He pumps on his chest and laughs manically.
While being airborne, "..." Kawaki sees a piece of wood and grabs on to it as he falls down. Garo goes to land a strike, but the teen blocks the claw with the small piece of wood, "!" Which surprises the Outer.
After rolling to a halt, Kawaki quickly forms a wooden arm-blade and goes to strike the final blow, "YOU'RE SUCH A PAIN!" Garo roars annoyingly, setting off the clash between his mechanical arm and the wooden arm-blade.
Kawaki's attack lands a direct hit Garo's gut, while the Outer's attack missed, leaving them both at a standstill position... and after a few seconds, it's revealed that the half-blonde's blow didn't do anything as his wooden claw crumbles to pieces. When he takes a step back while gazing at his hand, he gazes back up at his foe, "Damn it-" He curses as he immediately gets pinned down to the ground by Garo's claw.
"Heheh... I GOT YA NOW!" Garo pushes him further to the ground, making dust rise and the ground to crumble around.
"!" The Pros/Interns widen.
When the smoke clears, "Oh?" Garo sees that Kawai is seemingly knocked unconscious, "There's no way that coulda killed you, right?" He taunts before grabbing him by his right arm and lifting the teen high in the air, "So you've finally calmed down." He adds, "If you had just obeyed me from the beginning, I wouldn't have had to hurt you."
"Well damn..." Tomura grumbles from where he's at.
"Looks like the battle is over." Kurogiri adds.
"I can see that..." He replies, inwardly he was rooting for Kawaki to win, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Seeing that Kawaki's now captured and in Garo's claw, the two interns rush to save him, however, "Boruto! Midoriya! Wait!" Konohamaru halts them immediately, getting their attentions, "What are you two trying to do? The situation's gotten way too complicated!"
"Komago's right, we can't make any careless moves right now!" Manuel adds.
"What are you saying?! This isn't the time to think about that right now!" Boruto argues.
"Exactly! Can't you see that he's about to get taken away!" Izuku adds to that.
Unbeknownst to them, Garo open fires two blasts at them, forcing Komoahamru to jump in front and activate his chakra-blades slash the projectiles away.
"Those voices..." Tomura trails, now looking unpleased.
"Everyone listen!" Konohamaru exclaims, "This situation has become too dangerous and beyond what we can handle at this point!"
"He right." Manuel steps up too, "Protecting you interns is also our top priority!"
"Manuel..." Tenya mutters.
"Komago..." Sarada too.
"Well I for one don't need protection." Katsuki steps up himself, glaring up at Garo, "Backing down and running away from a villain like this is a violation to my pride!" He exclaims, cackling his palms with mini-explosions, "And I was suppose to be the one to crush that half-blonde bastard, not him!"
"This isn't the time for you to go on about pride! This situation is serious!" Komago argues.
"I can see that and I don't care!" Katsuki argues back.
"Damn it! How about you just follow orders from a pro and stand down!" Konahamaru exclaims in annoyance.
"Guys calm down!" Manuel exclaims at them to calm thing down.
"For real." Garo speaks, "Quit trying to interrupt me." He gazes back at the unconscious Kawaki, "So, what should I do now?"
From atop the tree, "Damn that Garo... I told him to be gentle!" Delta scoffs, "Honestly, we should have replaced everything, starting with his brain."
"Relax." Koji gazes, "The critical point is still to come." He knows what's next as they keep watching.
"Let's see..." Garo thinks about what to do with the half-blonde teen, "I can't have you wake up and get into a violent rage now can I? So I'll just break a few limbs!" He decides.
Just as things seemed dire for Kawaki, the Karma mark in his left palm begins to flash of red light.
"!" Suddenly, Boruto widens and begins to feel pain in his right hand.
"Boruto?!" Izuku and Sarada exclaim in worry.
As he struggles and holds his arm, the Karma mark begins to spread in his palm, "Gugh...!"
"Not again!" Izuku widens.
"Same as before!" Sarada trails.
The mark begins to spread up around Kawaki's left arm, all the way up to the left side of his face, "Hngh...!" Simultaneously, the mark spreads up the right side of Boruto's face as he grunts in pain and struggles to control it.
"..." Kawaki slowly awakens upon having the marks on him.
"Hmm? What's going on down there?" Garo wonders while gazing down at the group.
"Hey..." Kawaki grabs his attention and plays his palm to his machanical arm.
"!" Garo gasps, stunned that he's concious.
"I don't think you should be distracted right now." In a sudden turn, Kawaki blasts Garo's right mechanical arm cleanly off, making blood splatter as a result.
"!" Everyone widens in shock, including Tomura and Kurogiri from where they're standing.
"GAAOOWWW!" Garo yells in pain, staggering all the way back while holding on to his bleeding limb, "*pant*pant*" He huffs raggedly, "You bastard!" He curses, "W-Where did you get that much power...?!"
Glaring menacingly at the outer with his Karma mark and as the wind breezes through his clothing, "It ain't mine." Kawaki reveals, "That's why I hate it." This is when he menacingly begins to march toward the Outer.
"S-Stay away!" Garo steps back in fear, "I said don't come any closer!" He immediately fires a blast from his one remaining mechanical claw, however, Kawaki raises his left palm and absorbs the energized blast, shocking Garo.
"He absorbed it?!" Mitsuki widens.
"Just like how Uzumaki did!" Shoto too.
"So i was right... this bastards doing the same thing that whiskers did before." Bakugo grits his teeth, "He's nullifying his ranged attacks!"
Garo begins stepping back, sweating and widening his eyes in great fear, "I was never told about this!" He panics and fires every blast he can, but all of it proves useless as Kawaki absorbs every shot.
This goes on for the next few seconds until Garo's engine behind his back begins to overheat, this, preventing him firing anymore blasts, "DAMN IT! DAMN IT! WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Garo freaks out completely, seeing his engine is done.
"Are you done yet?" Kawaki grimaces as he marches out of the smoke.
"!" Boruto sees that his mark his forming a bright flast of blue, while at the same time, Kawaki's mark is flashing a bright of red.
On the other hand, Garo completely paralyzed with fear to the point that he can't even move or make an attempt to run as Kawaki now approaches him, raising his right red-flashed wooden-fist up high.
"..." The half-blonde doesn't say a word and balls up wooden fist and prepares to deal the finishing blow.
That is until a flash of bio electricity comes in, "STOP IT!" Izuku comes in and grabs onto Kawaki's medium sized wooden-arm.
"Wha-?!" Sarada widens.
"Izuku?!" Boruto too, even though he's still wincing in pain from the marks around him.
"What do you think you're doing, Midoriya?!" Komago exclaims.
"Are you insane?!" Tenya too.
"Deku...!" Bakugo sneers inwardly, "What are you trying to prove here?!"
"I knew it..." Tomura sneers, scratching his next in irritation, "That brat is here...!"
"Oh?" Delta narrows a brow.
"..." Koji only gazes with arms crossed over chest, "This is quite the show."
Izuku gives off an uneased gaze at Kawaki, especially with the marks on him, but has no time to worry about that now, "L-Listen... you've won the fight already. There's not need to kill him."
"..." Kawaki rolls his gaze to Deku with a grimace, "You have 10 seconds to let go, freckle-face."
"!" Midoriya sweats as he can feel the murder intent that he's giving off... but he snaps of it and refuses to stand down, "I can't just let you kill him." He grimaces in a sweat, "He may have been the enemy... but you can see that he doesn't have the will to fight anymore." He gazes at Garo, who's still shaking in place wuth fear, and gazes back to the half-blonde, "He's had enough...!"
"..." Kawaki ignores this speech and moves his arm to try and kill the frozen Outer, but Izuku still tries to hold his arm back.
Realizing that his have fallen on deaf ears, Izuku grits his teeth to get through to him, "Did you here what I just said? That's enough! It's over, you won!"
Annoyed with this interference, Kawaki forces Midoriya off him and with the swing of his wooden arm and does a spinning kick to his stomach, "GUH!" Deku spits out in pain and the kick is strong enough to sending him flying past the group and right back down to the ground in a crash.
"MIDORIYA!" Shoto, Sarada, Mitsuki, and Tenya immediately run over to his aid.
"Tch!" Katsuki scoffs, "What the hell was that damn nerd thinking?!"
"Izuku!" Boruto exclaims, still with the Karma on him, "You damn bastard!" He glares up at Kawaki, who ignores him.
"As expected. Was that kid stipid or something?" Delta narrows a brow while Koji only gazes.
"Serves him right..." Tomura was delighted to see that.
"That's what you get for meddling into matters that down concern you, asshole." Kawaki states bluntly where Izuku crashed landed.
"Ugh..." The freckled teen is battered up and rubs his head in pain.
"Are you alright?" Mitsuki asks.
"Somewhat..." Izuku replies, gazing back up to where Kawaki is, "That kick was super strong... is it because of the marks arouund the left side of his body? It's just like Boruto's!"
"Now then." Kawaki turns back to the frozen Garo, "Whwre were we?"
"D-Don't!" Izuku exclaims, not wanting him to commit murder on the Outer.
"Uh... Ugh...!" Garo continues shaking in fear, shockingly rolls his eyes to the hero below, "H...Help me-" Before he could finish, Kawaki delivers a full powered punch right through the Outers chest, and as a result, multiple wooden spikes spread out from behind him in a violent display.
"!" Everyone is stunned at this as Komago voices, "He ran through his body with one hit...!"
"That's crazy!" Manuel widens.
"This one... is insane...!" Kurogiri voices too, while Tomura only has his eyes widen behind his hand-mask.
"This guy...damn!" Katsuki too, gritting his teeth in being stunned.
Kawaki takes his hand out of Garo's impaled spot, "AGH... GUHH...!" His face sweats in pale and eyes widening in pain, "UGH! GUGHH!" He vomits and coughs roughly from his mask.
When the Outer perks up, Kawaki's left palm is already inches away from his face, "I warned you, didn't I?" The teen voices, "I said you'd lose much more than your chin this time."
"N-No...!*pant*pant, Wait...!" Garo begs while breathing roughly, "Please...! I'm sorry for everything I did! Stop!" He fearfully begs for his life, even forming tears in his eyes as he continues breathing frantically.
"..." Kawaki only grimaces and ignores Garo's desperate plea... and breathes of fresh air as he glares down at the franfic Outer, "Your breath stinks, pig." He comments this with a straight face as the wind blows.
"!" Seeing that his begging went on deaf ears and his life about to end, Garo sheds tears for the final time as Kawaki creates a gigantic red-energy blast from his left palm that begins to engulf everything.
"EVERYONE, GET AWAY FROM HERE!" Komago exclaims out.
"IT'S NO USE, WE WON'T MAKE IT IN TIME!" Manuel shouts otherwise.
As the blasts begins to head their way, "!" Boruto raises his palm quickly, still having the Karma marks on him.
"Not good!" Tomura exclaims, "Kurogiri!"
"On it!" The warp villain quickly teleports both of them out of harms away.
The blast engulfs the entire area, laying mass destruction and blowing every ounce of the trees and ground away. Delta and Koji are fine from there postions due to being atop a tree from afar, as well as keeping their calm composures.
When part of the smoke clears, it shows what remains of the late Garo. Every part of him had been erased from that blast, only showing his bottom half flying out and landing on the ground as blood splatters from his remains.
As with Kawaki, "..." He slowly lands on the ground, with his Karma still active.
"Looks like it was true about him having reached Phase Three." Delta comments, with a hand on hip, "Heheh.. that Kawaki. He managed to blow away those intrusive heroes." She smirks, "He's impressive."
"Look closely, Delta." Koji said, which she does.
When the smoke clears completely, everyone sees that Boruto managed to absorb the rest of the blast with his Karma, hence, saving his team.
"Seems he's just as impressive..." Koji comments.
"Uzumaki protected us?!" Manuel notes, stunned.
"He absorbed the attack?!" Konohamaru too.
"Are you serious..!" Bakugo grits his teeth.
"T-That power is incredible...!" Izuku admits in a stammer as he recovered from Kawaki's earlier blow to him.
Everyone even looks at the destoryed surroundings in addition. Good thing Boruto nullified the blow or they would have been goners.
Meanwhile, Kurogiri opens a portal to another safe sport where he and Tomura can't be seen, "Close call... but what power..." Shigaraki trails in surprise, relieved that they didn't get caught in the blast.
The two see that Kawaki is several distance away from the Pros/Interns, and Tomura sees some familiar faces from U.A., including Boruto, "As I thought... Uzumaki is here as well...!" He scratches his neck in aggravation.
"You bastard..." Kawaki glares at Boruto as they both stull have their Karmas active, "For someone who says he knows nothing about Karma, you sure have a pretty good command of it."
"I have no clue!" Boruto argues, "I don't understand anything that's going on!"
"Quit playing dumb." Kawaki ain't buyin what he says, "Go back and tell them, if they continue coming after me, the number of corpses will only increase."
"Hey! Now you're really getting on my nerves, ya know!" Boruto exclaims in annoyance, "Can't you just listen for one second?!"
"Do you ever stop talking?" Kawaki remarks.
"..." Bakugo only gazes, with a littlr bit of sweat on him.
"Somthing wrong, Bakugo?" Mitsuki asks, "Normally, you'd be thinking that you could handle this yourself."
"Quiet snake-face. I'm trying to think here..." Katsuki scoffs, being unusual cautious about this, especially after what he saw Kawaki do to Garo, "Damn it...! Those marks around his body is like a quirk amplifier that increases his speed and strength..." He adds, "I'd be screwed if I were to take him directly... even his blast was enough to erase that big guy and this whole area.. He grits his teeth, "On top of that, he can nullify quitk attcks from a distance... so my explosions wouldn't do anything... just what the hell is that mark that he and whiskers have?!" He demands to know, "Even the way they absorb quirks reminds me of..." He gets a callback to when Momoshiki absorbed his explosive attack and fired it back with stronger force. This just get Katsuki more irritated.
From afar, "Two Karmas..." Koji gazes, "There's no mistaking it. They were in "resonance"." He identifies, "So this is the reason why Jigen was so fixated on Kawaki? I need more information..."
"This is where you all disappear." Just before Kawaki proceeds to attack, "!" His whole body begins to steam like its in a malfunction overheat, "Guhh...!"
"!" Everyone gazes in surprise, even the two league villains from afaf.
Kawaki kneels in exhaustion as his Karma recedes back into his palm, "Damn it...!" He closes his palm in frustration, "If I... didn't have... this thing..." He utters before slumping to the ground, now unconscious.
"I think he just.. overheated!" Katasuke states out.
"What?" Sarada narrows.
"Isn't that like-?" Tenya too.
"Given how he just, I wonder if his body is-?" The doctor goes over to the unconscious teen for a theory.
"Uzumaki, are you all right?" Shoto asks, pointing to his palm/arm.
"Come to think of it, it's gone..." Boruto sees that the Karma marks have receded on him as well.
"That's a relief..." Izuku sighs.
"Good grief." Delta gazes, "I guess I have no choice but to get rid of those pros and the trainees, right Koji?"
"No, Delta. Don't interfere." He says otherwise.
"What?" She's confused to here this, and glares, "What are you thinking, Koji Kashin? You intend on letting them take the vessel?!"
"That's right." He allows, "I completely understand the goal of the mission. I will bring back the vessel at some point, but not now." he decides, "I'll do that after I gather more intel."
"..." Delta gazes in being unsure, "Look, I know I'm the one who brought Garo in, but that idiot said way too much." She adds, "I think we should get rid of those heroes at the very least."
"There is no point in worrying about an intel leak at this point." Koji replies, "We were passed that point after the airship crashed. And besides, regardless of what they know or don't know, they'll have no choice, but to yield to a greater power in the end." He adds, with arms crossed over chest, "Soon, whether it wants to or not, the world shall learn the name, fearsomeness and the terror of Kara."
"Tch!" Delta scoffs away, "Well, fine. Jigen warned me that this might happen so I'll follow your lead." She states in final before teleporting off the branch in leaving.
"Hmph." Koji gazes in final down at the ground before retreating as well.
After flipping the unconscious Kawaki over gently, "I knew it! His body isn't normal." Katasuke said and can tell.
"Well of course." Boruto said, hands on hip, "After watching that battle earlier, even I could've told you that."
"One thing for sure, he sure does pack a kick..." Izuku rubs his gut, still some pain from the impact.
"Mr. Ao and that big guy were covered in Scientific Quirk Tools." Shoto said.
"That explains a lot." Tenya adds.
"No. What I mean to say is that his body might be far more advanced than theirs." Katasuke theorizes.
"Huh?! What do you mean by more advance?" Bakugo asks, narrow brow.
"You could say that his entire body is a Scientific Quirk Tool." The Doctor reveals.
"Say what?!" The hothead exclaims dramatically in surprise.
"So aside from the mark, what we saw the entire time wasn't his real quirk?" Izuku asks.
Katasuke nods and adds, "His blood vessels, his nervous system... everything has been modified using technology similar, if not even more advanced than the artificial hand back at the lab!" He adds in extreme awe, "I can't believe a scientist with this much skill exits! You can't compare this boy to Lord Ao or that big man! His body... is a work of art!" He's too amazed about this, "Ah, it's exciting to know there's another genius like me out there!"
"Hey, that's not something to be excited about." Boruto sweat-drops.
"So, what are we going to do with him?" Shoto asks, "Can you fix him?"
Adjusting his glasses, "That's impossible." Katasuke replies with a straight face, causing Uzumaki, Uchiha, and Midoriya dramatically drop.
Mitsuki kneels in gazing at Kawaki's body and comments, "This "genius"... I wonder if they built him from scratch... like me." He adds.
"EH?!" The some of the interns exclaim dramatically, except Shoto and Bakugo, who narrows a brow.
"What...? You didn't know? I'm the clone made by Orochimaru, a Sanin Hero." Mitsuki reveals with a smile, "I'm a synthetic human being."
"D-Did you just say "I'm an artificial human being"...!" Izuku stammers dramatically.
"That was a total shocker!" Boruto widens dramatically.
"Don't just go around bluntly saying something ridiculous...!" Tenya too, air-chopping dramatically.
"I suddenly have a headache..." Sarada sweat-drops.
"Well, we had no idea." Shoto only blinks with a straight-face.
"Whatever..." Katsuki scoffs in turning away.
"Well Mitsuki, the technology that was used for this boy differs from what was used for you." Katasuke explains, "You were originally created through genetic engineering, but he was remodel using inorganic techniques into something other than human... I suppose that's the proper answer."
"Those guys from Kara called him The Vessel." Manual states, "Then there's the crashed airship..."
"And then the cargo that Ao was looking for was definitely the vessel." Konohamaru adds, "He was referring to this boy."
Standing up, "he must be highly valuable to them." Mitsuki guesses.
"And yet, he's a mountain of vital Intel to us." Katasuke adds.
Chamaru hops out of Mitsuki's shirt and excitedly skips around and stops to gaze at the unconscious Kawaki, giving him a soft lick to the cheek, a couple smile to.
"Well, we can't just leave him here, either way." Izuku said.
Gazing at his Karma and closing his palm, "Right." Boruto agrees with a grimace, "Let's take him back... to where my father is!" He refers to Naruto, who's looking out the window in his office at U.A.
Ending 7 "Datte Atashi no Hiro" by LiSA
Opens up in the morning skies above Coruscant as it changes to shots of the training grounds, highways, and speeders flying through the air.
We then see Padawan Izuku leave his coordinates and happily running off to training, but ends up tripping/falling on his face, upon looking up, he sees fellow Padawan Boruto extending a hand to him with a grin, with Padawans Ochaco, Tenya, and Sumire being there too. Izuku smiles brightly as his blonde friend helps him up by hand.
Next shoots to Shoto in his coordinates, in a sitting position and as closes as he meditates near his opened window. After being done, he opens the door to see the MC's and his fellow padawans, which makes him crack a smile. As they walk in the hallways, they greet Sarada, who waves, and Mitsuki, who smiles casually, both Padawans as well. The group walk by the training grounds to see Katsuki cutting down a couple trees with his lightsaber in fury. When they call out in telling that it's time for training session with Jedi Master Aizawa, the hothead exclaims at them dramatically in not needing it.
This is when the sky goes dark/overcast and all Padawans look upward to see Kara Droids levitating above them, forcing the teens to get in battle positions, igniting their green Lightsabers with serious grimaces. We cut to the young Padawans taking on multiple Kara Droids: Uzumaki slicing one down by it's head and Midoriya slicing one in the middle. As it appears though they're surrounded, they receive backup from the rest of their fellow Padawans (Eijiro, Shikadai, Tsuyu, Iwabe, and everyone else in the class with their green lightsabers ignited). The MC's grin/smile with a nod before they continue the fight with increased numbers.
As the fight continues in the destroyed field, everyone starts to tire down, and another unit of Kara droids approach, the renegade Sith apprentice: Kawaki, ignites his red Lightsaber and uses force-lightning to electrocute half of them, surprising the teen Jedi's at his arrival. He grimaces at the Padawans, but decides to fight in lending a hand.
With this extra amount of strength from a new ally, the group stands united and perseveres in dealing with the rest of the Kara droids: Kawaki force-crushes two, Bakugo slashes one with a battle cry, Sarada and Mitsuki doing a combined slash, and Shoto force-pushing one into the other. With the droids dealt with, they face the last one, an enormous Kara Mega-Droid towering over them.
Despite how bruised, battered, and tired they are, the united front aren't ones to give up and the MC's charge before doing a Jedi high-jump in meeting the foe head-on. Everyone roots for the duo to finish this fight, including Bakugo(who grins) and Kawaki(who grimaces with wide eyes). Uzumaki's lightsaber changes to dark-blue while Midoriya's changes to light-blue, and with the final blow, they slash the enormous Mega-droid in half, defeating it and ending the battle.
It goes white as it was the pages read in a 1-A textbook before the song closes.
Seeing the group leave the area (As well as Manuel carrying Kawaki over his shoulder). "So many details that we overheard..." Kurogiri trails in surprise, "And the heroes ended up taking the boy."
"An airship... a cargo... Scientific Quirk Tools... and they said that kid is a "Vessel"..." Tomura grumbles in recall, "And to top it all off... this group called "Kara"." He adds with arms crossed over chest, "That's an organization that I've never heard of..."
"We should report all this back to the Master." Kurogiri suggests, "For all we know, this "Kara" could be something huge and it's one that we know nothing about."
"Yes, that much is obviously clear..." Tomura replies, "But first, we're follow ling the heroes from close behind."
"Still want curious about recruiting the boy? From what we seen, he holds extraordinary power and judging by his violent behavior... he could be hard to tame." The waro villain explains.
"That's the idea... he's definitely not on the side of the heroes as we just saw... and with someone like him in our ranks, it adds massive firepower to the league." Tomura still insists, "That "Karma" power that the kid refers to... it managed to destroy most, if not a good chunk of this landscape." He gazes around, "This is a receuitment opportunity that we can't pass up on."
"If that's what you wish, I understand." Kurogiri goes with it.
"One thing that I absolutely don't get..." Tomura continues, "Why does that brat, Uzumaki, have the same marks on him as the kid?" He wonders, "Does this mean... there's a chance that he can replicate the same feat...!" He begins scratching his neck in irritation, "That would make Uzumaki even more annoying to deal with than ever..." He scoffs, "We're off, Kurogiri. Stay close behind so we can see where they're taking the kid." He refers to Kawaki.
"Very well." The warp villain complies, opening a purple gate and teleport them both out the area.
That wraps up Kawaki's epic debut fight! With him now in custody of the heroes, what happens next now that even the League is starting to get involved?
