"Bakugou...No!" All Might shouted nearly at the top of his lungs as the boy vanished.
"Blizzard!" Kamui Woods looked back towards the green haired heroine.
Outside in the street, the 'psychokinesis' user was doing everything she could to keep the situation contained. Things had been going smoothly until the plan suddenly went belly-up. Their team managed to subdue the villains and secure the hostage in a matter of seconds. But just when they were about to get the transport team ready, multiple pools of black liquid suddenly appeared out of thin air. Before Blizzard could even blink, the entire area had been overrun by what she assumed were those Nomu creatures that she was briefed about prior to the mission.
'Endeavor and Jeanist were supposed to make sure that these things were taken care of.' Blizzard thought to herself as she took control of the Nomu surrounding her and the police. "Detective!"
"Something's wrong, Endeavor's team isn't responding!" Tsukauchi shouted back at her.
"The villains have escaped!" Kamui Woods' voice howled through all the confusion. This was not good, these guys were only supposed to have one person with a teleportation quirk. Obviously their intel was wrong, but there wasn't enough time to worry about that now.
Before she had a chance to reply, a whirlwind suddenly appeared from inside the building. Flinging these abhorrent creatures in every direction.
"Blizzard!" The woman then looked up to see All Might standing at the massive hole in the wall he created at the start of the operation. "Are you keeping up?!"
"We have the situation handled! If you're going to after them then do it. We'll catch up shortly!"
"Fine…I'll leave it to you." Was all the number one hero said before dashing off in the direction of the other hideout. She didn't know why, but Blizzard had a really bad feeling about all of this.
Katsuki Bakugou was absolutely fed up. Not only had he been captured by these lame ass villains, he had to endure listening to their incessant ramblings for the last few hours.
For some reason their leader was under the impression that he could convince him to join the side of villainy. As if something so stupid was even possible. How dare these fools even think that Katsuki Bakugou would stoop so low as to become a villain? That was not his goal, not by a long shot.
He was going to become a hero. One who never knew defeat and achieved the glory of becoming number one. He had no time to play these foolish games. And that's exactly what he made clear when he blasted that stupid hand-villain in the face with his quirk.
Just as Bakugou was about to try and break his way out of this hellhole, things got pretty crazy. In the blink of an eye, All Might and some other heroes broke into the building and made quick work of capturing these losers. And as much as he hated to admit it, he was a bit relieved that someone came to rescue him.
But that's when everything went to shit. From out of nowhere, this disgusting black fluid erupted from his own mouth and covered his entire body. Encasing him in a cocoon of darkness that he wasn't able to escape from. The last thing he heard before everything went dark was All Might calling his name.
Just as quickly as it came, the liquid vanished and Bakugou found himself standing in a completely different place then he was a second ago.
"God dammit...what the hell?" He managed to let out in between coughs.
"My apologies, Bakugou." A sinister sounding voice said to him.
Deciding to take in as much information as possible to figure out what was going on, the boy quickly scanned the area. And when he did, his heart almost dropped into his stomach….
All around him was rubble and carnage. The entire area looked like a twister just ran through it. But that was the least of his worries. In his field of vision, Bakugou caught the sight of multiple bodies laying on the ground around him. But these weren't just any bodies, they were all heroes that he recognized. Endeavor, Best Jeanist, Mt. Lady, all people whom he considered strong in some capacity.
'What the hell is going on here?' He asked himself before locking eyes onto a very familiar sight. Right in front of him were two people. One was a large man with some shity looking mask covering his face wearing a cheap suit. And the other...the other person was that stupid loser, Deku.
Before the 'explosion' quirk user could speak, multiple other portals suddenly appeared around him and those other loser villains fell through them.
"Master?" The hand-villain said in a surprised tone.
"I do apologize, Tomura." The man replied. "Do not be discouraged at your failure. This was simply an unforeseen complication. One that can easily be corrected."
"What the hell happened here?" The lizard-faced villain asked what everyone else seemed to be thinking.
"It was quite the spectacle, Spinner. Midoriya here blasted away all of the heroes in a rather impressive show of force. I'll admit that even I wasn't expecting him to use so much power." The masked man then motioned over to Midoriya, who was standing next to him. The boy was wearing a blank expression that was both calm and slightly intimidating.
Those words lingered in Bakugou's mind for a good five seconds, as they did everyone else's. Did he hear that right? Deku just attacked and took down all of those heroes? No, that was impossible. Deku may have been an idiot, but there was no way that he would do something like that, unless….
Suddenly, a moment of clarity struck Bakugou like a freight train. Everything started making sense. It had been hours since he last saw the nerd. And now, here he was standing right next to the villain boss like he belonged there. The dots seemed to connect instantly and Bakugou's blood started boiling. He didn't know exactly what was going on, but one thing was clear to him.
"What the hell's going here, Deku?!" He shouted towards the greenette, demanding some type of answer. "Don't tell me went and joined these losers!"
Midoriya stayed silent, almost as if his presence hadn't even registered in the boy's mind. Bakugou was already pissed off. But the last thing he was going to tolerate was being ignored by someone like him.
"I asked you a question you damn ner-" The next thing Bakugou felt was his body lock up and his feet leave the ground. He upturned his eyes to see Midoriya holding his hand out towards him. The boy's face was still unchanged and it was almost like he was peering directly into his soul. What happened next threw everyone off guard. Bakugou's arms lifted up in front of him. He tried his hardest to break free from the boy's quirk, but it was useless.
"Let go of me you damn lose-"
*Snap!*
"Argh!" There was a brief delay before the pain caught up to his brain and the horrid sound of Bakugou's scream echoed throughout the area. The 'explosion' quirk user looked on in absolute horror at the sight of his arms. Which were now bent in an awkward direction.
"You're so annoying." Midoriya calmly said to him.
The last thing Bakugou felt was his body flying through the air before impacting the remains of a nearby wall. As the world around him faded to black, the only thing he could see was Deku's smug face staring at him with that blank expression.
"Oh shit!" Magna shouted in surprise at what she just saw.
"That was amazing, Izuku!" Toga outwardly gushed.
All for One would be lying if he said that he didn't find that somewhat amusing. He wasn't expecting the boy to act without orders, but considering Midoriya's internal hatred towards Bakugou he should've seen something like that coming. The downside to the 'obedience' quirk was heightened aggression. It was the same power he used on his Nomus before sending them out to wreak havoc. But no matter, things were still going according to plan. Tomura may have lost Bakugou, but Midoriya was a more valuable piece.
"Master."
All for One then turned to face his successor. "You must not be discouraged, you can try again. That's why I've brought you and your associates back with you. And you now have Midoriya here to assist you with your future endeavors." His voice was what one would consider caring. "Start over as many times as you like. I am here to provide you with help. All of this...is for yo- Ah, there you are."
Before the others had a chance to react, All Might came bursting through the smoke and collided directly into All for One. Resulting in a shockwave strong enough to blow everyone back, including the heroes who were still unconscious on the ground.
"I'll have you return my students, All for One!"
"Have you come to kill a second time, All Might?"
Another shockwave quickly followed along with a massive cloud of dust and debris. The damage to the area seemed to double with that collision and everyone knew that things were about to change.
Once his vision cleared, All Might scanned the area to get a feel for the situation. The scene was absolute chaos. All around him were the bodies of his comrades who appear to have already fallen. The seasoned pro took in as much information as he could before his gaze locked onto Bakugou. Who was unconscious with massive bruises on both arms.
"It took you thirty seconds to get here, All Might. Have you gotten weaker?"
"You're one to talk. It's kind of difficult to ignore that life support mask on your face. Aren't you overexerting yourself, old man?"
The number one hero mentally prepared himself for what he knew was coming next. With his greatest enemy before him it would be difficult for the man to secure Bakugou and get him to safety, not to mention all the others. Unfortunately for him, All Might didn't even get the opportunity to consider his next move before a massive piece of concrete came flying at him.
With ease, All Might pulverize the boulder with a single punch. The man then looked in the direction where the attack came from and his mind froze. There, floating in the air a few meters above the ground was Midoriya. The boy looked to be unharmed, however he was using his quirk to carry the villains who managed to slip away from his grasp.
"Good work, Midoriya. Thank you for protecting Tomura and his friends." All for One thanked the boy.
"Young Midoriya!" The number one hero shouted. "What is the meaning of this?!"
All he received was silence before another boulder came flying at him. Once again, he punched the piece of concrete into oblivion but now his attention was fully focused on his student. Were his assumptions correct after all? Was Midoriya really working for the 'League of Villains'? He didn't really know what to think.
All for One could practically read the man's facial expressions like a book. Looking to use this to his advantage, he decided to add a little bit of doubt into his enemy's head.
"Don't get the wrong idea, All Might. Midoriya here is not acting on his own free will. I used a quirk of mine to make the boy obey me."
"What?!" The blonde haired man countered. Now he was confused. The scene around him was already chaotic enough, but now his student was being controlled? Was he wrong? "What have you done?!"
"The effect isn't permanent, I assure you. He'll be back to his old self in about a day or so. But in the meantime, I think it would be most entertaining to see you do battle with one of your precious students." The masked man then turned his gaze towards the greenette. "Midoriya, would you care to lend me a hand? Tomura and the others will be fine. Please make sure that you keep All Might entertained. I don't recall him ever facing off against anyone with a powerful telekinetic quirk."
Midoriya didn't verbally respond. And like a well trained dog, the boy set the villains down on the ground before making his move. Midoriya then launched himself through the air like a rocket on a direct course towards his opponent. All Might shoved his feelings down for the moment and cocked his arm back, ready to deliver a powerful "Smash". Strong enough to knock the boy out, but not injure him.
The only problem though was that he was immediately flanked on his right side by a powerful blast of air. One strong enough to send him careening into a nearby building and destroy more of the area.
"I didn't say that I wasn't going to join in on the fun, now did I?" All for One mocked him before once again turning his attention towards his young aid. "Bring him to me."
Midoriya used his powers to lift All Might's body off the ground and levitate him over to his handler. The pro hero struggled as he tried to break free of the telekinesis, but it was not working.
"You're getting sloppy in your old age, Toshinori. I'm almost disappointed that I was able to capture you so easily."
"You fiend!" The blonde haired man continued to struggle. "Young Midoriya, you mustn't let this man control you like this!"
"I'm afraid that you're the last person he'll listen to. He absolutely hates you after all. No matter, I suppose I'll have to enjoy this victory of mine at a later time." All for One then pointed his hand directly at All Might's face. "I wonder if you'll be able to survive a blast from this close."
"Dammit!"
Just when All for One was about to deliver what was sure to be a devastating blast, something unexpected happened. Without any warning, Midoriya was sent flying backwards into a nearby wall and the control on his quirk was broken. Not waiting for an invitation, All Might used this to his advantage to punch All for One square in the chest. Sending the masked man soaring into some rubble.
"Midoriya, you better have a damn good explanation for what I'm looking at right now!" Everyone in the area looked up to see none other than Blizzard floating in the sky above them. The woman appeared to be out of breath and had a serious look on her face.
"Blizzard!"
"All Might, what the hell is going on?!"
"Young Midoriya...he's being manipulated! They've used some kind of mind control quirk on him!"
"What?" The green haired heroine immediately looked to the boy who just got back onto his feet.
A few thoughts were running through her mind upon hearing that declaration, and none of them were pleasant. She hoped that her eyes were playing tricks on her when she saw what appeared to be Midoriya aiding one of the villains, but apparently that wasn't the case. As much as she wanted a detailed explanation on what exactly transpired before her arrival, it didn't look like she was going to get the chance.
"Ah Blizzard, how nice of you to join us." All for One then spoke as he pulled himself out of the rubble and began floating in the air.
'He can fly too, huh? This is going to be a problem.' The woman thought. "What have you done to Midoriya-kun?!"
"I'm simply borrowing the boy for a bit, nothing to worry yourself over." The mask man replied in a smug tone. "However, now that you're here things have gotten a bit more interesting."
"Release Midoriya-kun at once, you bastard!"
"But why would I do that when I can have him to keep you busy? I've always wanted to witness a battle between two strong telekinesis users and this is the perfect opportunity for that. I think Midoriya here would prove to be quite the challenge for you...he does have your sister's quirk after all."
The air grew stiff as Blizzard processed the man's last statement. What did he just say? Midoriya had her sister's quirk? What did that even mean? Sure, they had similar powers but that was it. Nothing about that comment made sense to her.
"Oh...you haven't figured it out yet, have you? You see, Midoriya is currently in possession of your dearly departed sister's quirk. I gave it to him shortly after our first encounter. I myself didn't have much use for it, but the boy seems to be managing quite well."
"Wait…" All Might interjected. "Did you…you monster!"
"Midoriya, change of plans! Keep Blizzard entertained while I deal with All Might. The two of you have much to discuss. Once you're done, return to me." All for One ordered the boy.
The green haired teen didn't reply, instead he launched himself towards Blizzard at full speed. The woman reacted fast enough to avoid getting hit but Midoriya circled around faster than she expected. She quickly chose to ascend further into the air to avoid a collision, but the boy changed direction just as fast and followed her. It only took a few seconds before the two telekinetic greenettes got into what could only be considered an aerial dogfight. Both of them gaining more and more altitude with each passing second.
"Blizzard!" All Might shouted.
"Your fight is with me, All Might. Let the children have their fun."
"You bastard, what have you done?! What do you intend to do with young Midoriya?!"
"That boy should be the least of your worries right now. After all, the two of us have a score to settle."
In a matter of moments, the two telekinesis users were a significant distance away from the other two fighters and gaining more altitude with each passing second. Blizzard still had no idea what was going on, but the fact that Midoriya was being controlled made this situation a lot more tricky. She was glad that her student hadn't turned to the side of villainy of his own accord. But now there was a rampaging teenager that she had to deal with.
Her thoughts were interrupted when Midoriya charged her again, and like before she was able to dodge it easily. Now that she had some distance, the woman used her power to push the boy further away and give her some room to think. Her main focus right now was to find a way to subdue Midoriya without injuring him. But that might have been too tall of an order given the situation. Under normal circumstances that would have been a piece of cake. But when facing someone with a similar skill set as you, it was considerably more difficult.
"Midoriya-kun, snap out of it!" She shouted. However, the only response that she got was the boy charging at her yet again. 'Dammit, it looks like talking to him is out of the question.'
Blizzard took a brief second to look down and scan the area. She needed to find somewhere with a lot of loose material that would help her put the boy down. But all around them were apartment buildings and residential neighborhoods. It would've been easier to just use the remains of the already destroyed buildings. But this was the type of fight where any reckless actions on her part would only add to the chaos.
Luckily, she was able to spot what looked like some sort of factory about a kilometer away from where she had left All Might. One that was outside of the residential area. Seeing as this was probably her best option, the green haired heroine turned around and made a beeline straight for it. And as expected, Midoriya was right on her tail.
As the two grew closer to the factory, Blizzard could see that the place was shut down. The lights were off and there didn't appear to be anyone in sight. Which meant that there definitely wouldn't be any unnecessary casualties.
The woman then spotted some steel girders near the entrance gate. Something like that was easy for her to manipulate and would be perfect for subduing her opponent. However, just when she was about to grab hold of the object she felt her body get pulled backwards immediately forced to the ground.
Blizzard looked up and saw that Midoriya had already caught up with her. The boy was levitating some loose debris around his body and wasted no time in launching it all directly at her. In response, Blizzard used her powers to stop the debris in its tracks before sending it right back at him. Midoriya dodged to avoid getting hit which caused him to lose his focus.
With that small window of opportunity, Blizzard decided to just bite the bullet and ripped some nearby streetlights out of the ground. She was hoping to avoid any unnecessary property damage, but it looked like she wasn't going to be that lucky today. In response to this, Midoriya followed suit by also ripping some streetlights out of the ground and flung them towards the woman. What followed was a rather impressive display from the two telekinesis users. Both of them sending a variety of objects towards one another while also somehow managing to avoid getting hit themselves.
'Dammit, this is getting me nowhere!' Blizzard clicked her teeth in annoyance. Suddenly, Midoriya changed battle strategy and charged at her once again. This time however, he was able to connect and the two went flying through the factory doors and into the main building.
"Push!" The woman shouted before using a short burst of her power to create some space.
Something was wrong here. There might be more to this mind control quirk than what she thought. Midoriya usually wasn't this aggressive during a fight. In fact, the boy preffered to keep his distance whenever possible. And right now he seemed to be more combative than his usual self.
"Ahh!" The boy shouted while waving his hands into the air and bringing them back down. Quite literally causing the roof to collapse down on top of them. Thankfully, Blizzard had the wherewithal to stop the loose pieces of wood and metal from hitting her. Otherwise, she might have gotten impaled.
Things quickly took a more serious turn when Midoriya began floating higher and higher into the air. The boy looked around for a second before holding his arms out at either side and levitating a ridiculous amount of material off the ground. "Hellstorm!"
In the blink of an eye, Blizzard was surrounded by a massive vortex of debris. This wasn't good. She already knew that Midoriya was powerful, but the scale of this move wasn't what she was expecting. The space around her began closing in. But the woman certainly wasn't about to let herself get bested by something like this. "Hellstorm!"
The whirlwind began rapidly changing shape, fluctuating more and more each second. In the air, Midoriya appeared to be struggling to maintain his grip on the super move. While down below, Blizzard seemed to be doing everything that she could to negate it. The stalemate came to an end when the vortex dispersed, sending wood and scrap metal in every direction.
"Did you forget that I'm the one who taught you that move, boy?! You have a long way to go before you can overpower me with that!"
Blizzard's brief taunt seemed to strike a nerve with the boy. His face immediately shifted from one that was devoid emotion to one that showed what was undoubtedly displeasure. Without any warning, everything around her began levitating and Blizzard felt a chill go down her spine.
'Looks like hurting him is unavoidable. I'm sorry, Midoriya-kun.'
Not looking to wait around and get impaled, the woman launched herself into the sky and charged directly at Midoriya. The boy failed to react fast enough to avoid getting punched in the face and flew back a good four meters before recovering. Blizzard knew that she couldn't give him a chance to get himself together, so she proceeded to let loose a slurry of well placed punches and kicks. Midoriya tried his best to dodge and maneuver, but her hand-to-hand skills were just too good.
The tables quickly turned when Blizzard delivered a well-timed kick to the abdomen which caused Midoriya to clutch his midsection. With that brief window of opportunity, she then used her quirk to force him to the ground and sent him right into the pile of rubble that he previously created.
Once the dust cleared, Midoriya was quickly back on his feet and sent another wave of debris at her. But the green haired woman stopped the attack before tossing it to the side. This seemed to anger Midoriya even more and the boy responded by throwing a couple of steel beams at her. Only to get a similar result.
"Give up, Midoriya-kun. You can't beat me. You're only delaying the inevitable!"
Blizzard knew that her words were pointless, but that didn't stop her from trying. Midoriya responded to the declaration by using his quirk to grab hold of her and fling her into another adjacent building. Despite the jarring impact, the woman easily recovered and turned tables. About two hundred meters behind Midoriya on the other side of the building was a small tower comprised of metal beams. With ease, the green haired heroine grabbed hold of him and forced him into it. She then used her quirk to wrap the pieces of metal around him and locked all of his limbs in place. Making sure that he wouldn't be able to move.
Now that the boy was trapped, Blizzard flew over to him. Midoriya struggled to undo his make-shift cage, but the woman maintained a strong grip on the beams.
"Midoriya-kun, give up! The sooner you stop trying to fight, the sooner we can get you back to normal!"
"Argh!" The boy groaned as he struggled to break free. It was pointless though. With Blizzard maintaining her hold on the beams, there was no way that Midoriya was going to overpower her.
'I guess I have no choice.' She sighed internally before raising her hand towards his neck. In all honesty, she hated using this move. It was both abhorrent and reckless. But with Midoriya in his current state, trying to get him to calm down was unlikely. Using a "Force Choke" to knock him out was the best option.
Just when the 'psychokinesis' user was about to activate her power she was suddenly pushed away by an invisible force. The strength of which was enough to send her back a good twenty meters. It barely took Blizzard a second to reorient herself. And when she set her gaze back onto Midoriya, her heart almost dropped into her stomach.
Floating hair, glowing green eyes. Those two signs accompanied by a look of absolute ferocity. Yup, there was no doubt about it. Midoriya just activated "Overdrive".
"...he does have your sister's quirk after all." The villain's voice replayed in her head. She had no clue what he meant by that. But now wasn't the time. She'll have to get those answers later.
All Blizzard could worry about now was stopping Midoriya before things got out of hand. "Overdrive" may have given him a substantial boost in power, but the price was too great. The longer he stayed in that form, the more severe the consequences.
The woman was brought out her thoughts when the metal surrounding the boy uncoiled itself from his body and began levitating around him. Before she could even blink, they were sent flying towards her with incredible speed. Enough so that evasion was the only thing that she could do. The beams didn't even fully pass before Midoriya appeared right in front of her face. And the next thing the green haired heroine felt was an absolutely devastating blow to her abdomen. One strong enough to completely knock the wind out of her.
The next thing that Blizzard felt was her entire body being thrown to the ground. She tried her hardest to stand back up, but the immense force that Midoriya was exerting on her was too great. By sheer luck, she just so happened to be facing the sky, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to deflect the small boulder that was about to come crashing down on her head. The woman then used her quirk to take control of the boy's body and push him back into the tower. Which gave her enough time to pull herself together and take to the sky.
Once she was a good thirty meters in the air, Midoriya bursted out of the newly created rubble and charged straight at her. She was about to use her quirk to catch him once more, but his speed was too great and he disappeared from her vision. Her eyes darted across the area before receiving yet another blow to the back. Courtesy of Midoriya's left shoulder.
'Shit, he's too fast now. I can barely keep up with him.' She mentally cursed.
*Kaboom!*
All of sudden, a loud explosion could be heard in the distance and Blizzard noticed a massive tornado appear in the area where All Might was supposed to be. With everything going on she had forgotten that the number one hero was still fighting that masked villain. And things appeared to be getting crazy over there.
Unfortunately for her, this lapse in awareness was all that Midoriya needed to close the distance between the two of them and deliver a powerful left hook that connected with her jaw. Using all the power that she could, Blizzard used another "Force Push" to create some distance between the two of them. Roughly forty meters or so.
With the situation now what it was, the green haired woman was left with no other choice. Midoriya needed to be put down. And there was no way for her to do that without going all out. So through gritted teeth, Blizzard resolved herself and flooded all the energy that she could into her quirk.
"Overdrive!" Like with Midoriya a few moments ago, the sudden rush of power was accompanied by a wave of telekinetic energy erupting from her body. The boy's face slightly shifted as he looked towards his opponent. Who now had her own set of glowing green eyes.
"This is your last chance, Midoriya-kun. Surrender now, and I won't have to hurt you!"
As she expected, the woman didn't get a response. All she got was some more rubble thrown in her direction. But now she didn't have to worry about dodging them. Instead, Blizzard caught the objects and sent them right back at the boy. Midoriya was somehow able to evade this counterattack before charging at her again. And not looking to be on the receiving end of another one of the boy's punches the woman flew straight up into the sky.
In a matter of seconds the two greenettes were high above the city streets. In fact, they were so high up that you could see nearly the entire prefecture in one glance. The two repeatedly collided with one another while exchanging blows in the process. But neither one was able to gain any significant advantage over the other. Blizzard knew that a slugfest wasn't the kind of fight that she wanted right now. So the woman chose to nosedive directly towards the ground. And as expected, Midoriya followed suit.
In the distance, the woman spotted a supply truck near the other end of the factory fence. Under normal circumstances her range was limited to six hundred meters, but in her "Overdrive" mode that was nearly doubled. So with ease, she lifted the vehicle off of the ground and threw it right at her opponent.
Midoriya was so focused on her that he didn't see the thing coming until the last second. Instead of dodging, the boy deflected the vehicle and sent it flying off into the distance.
Once the two were back above the factory, Blizzard turned towards the boy and summoned all of the strength that she had available. "Hellstorm: Tornado Alley!"
Six powerful whirlwinds suddenly appeared out of thin air and Midoriya quickly found himself trapped. Wood, metal, anything that wasn't bolted to the ground was kicked up into the air and there was nowhere for the green haired boy to go. He tried his best to maneuver himself out of the chaos, but everywhere he looked there was just more debris. This move was the absolute pinnacle of Blizzard's abilities and was only possible with the power boost from "Overdrive". Even now, it took every last bit of concentration that she had to maintain it.
With the opportunity to put the metaphorical nail in the coffin, the green haired heroine brought her hands together and all six tornados collapsed in on each other. Resulting in a chaotic blast that was strong enough to shake the ground itself.
'That had to do the trick...' The woman huffed out. It had been a couple of years since the last time she used "Overdrive" and she was already starting to feel its effects. The moment she released her quirk she would more than likely pass out. So before that she needed to confirm whether or not her plan was a success. How her sister was able to maintain this form for as long as she did was truly a mystery to her.
However, her respite from the battle was short-lived when Midoriya bursted through the smoke and came flying at her at top speed. The boy's face was covered in blood and his arm was cocked back ready to deliver what was sure to be a devastating blow.
"Ahhh!"
"Oh shit!"
Just when he was about to make contact, something strange happened. Midoriya stopped mid-flight and began clutching his head. The boy proceeded to let out a pained howl as his body started to violently jerk around in every direction.
"Midoriya-kun!" Blizzard shouted. Something was wrong, that much was obvious. It seemed like the boy was perfectly coherent a moment ago, but now that didn't seem to be the case. Was this a side effect of that mind control quirk?
"Fu...bu...ki…" Midoriya struggled to let out as he continued thrashing through the air. "Hurry up and do it...you damn brat!"
The woman paused for a second at those words. Midoriya just called her a "brat". But it wasn't just that. It was the way that he said it. The only person who ever called her that was her sister. Why did he suddenly call her that?
"Stop...wasting time and...knock me out!" The boy continued before letting out another scream. One that echoed throughout what was left of the factory.
Fubuki Katsuragi had no clue what was going on with the boy, but now wasn't the time to worry about that. She needed to put him down for good otherwise there would only be more unnecessary destruction. With her "Overdrive" still active, the 'psychokinesis' user held her arm out in front of her and envisioned herself wrapping her hand around Midoriya's neck.
"Force Choke!"
Almost instantly, Midoriya tried to clutch his hands around his neck but his arms appeared to pull themselves back down. It was as if someone else was in control of his body. For the next fifteen seconds or so, Blizzard made sure not to apply too much pressure on him to avoid causing injury. But once it was over, Midoriya was out cold.
As carefully as she could, Blizzard descended back down to ground with her student in tow. And she wasted no time in using every piece of scrap metal that she could see to create a cocoon around his body. She hated that she had to do this to him, but now wasn't the time to be careless. Once that was done, the green haired heroine gave the boy one last look before letting out a relieved sigh.
'I used too much power with that last attack. My head's already pounding and I'm pretty sure my jaw is broken.'
Her final act before powering down was pulling her phone out from her pocket and pressing the "emergency" button on the screen. Somehow the thing was still in one piece after all the abuse she just took. And with any luck, someone would be here soon to recover the two of them before it was too late. The moment Blizzard finally released her quirk, a heavy stream of blood came pouring out her nose and it felt like she got nailed in the back of the head with a sledgehammer. The woman dropped to her knees and the last thing she saw before everything went dark was Midoriya's bloodied face trapped in her makeshift cage.
'I'm sorry, Midoriya-kun….'
Darkness was all that Midoriya could see as he once again found himself floating around the endless void. The same one that seemed to have no end in sight. However, something was different. The last time that he was here it was like he was experiencing a dream. But now, it felt like a real place. One as tangible as the world he knew.
"How pathetic…."
The boy immediately rotated himself around and was met with the misty grey figure he encountered the last time that he was here. Only this time, the person was more defined. Like before, the only visible feature that he could see were her bright green eyes. But now her body was more solid as opposed to incorporeal.
"You!" He shouted at the figure.
"Understand this, brat. This will be the only time I help you out. The next time you let this happen, I might not be nice enough to let you have your body back. Our personalities may have already started merging. But don't think for a second that I'll hesitate to take over."
"What are you talking about?" He questioned the "ghost" before him. He still had no clue who this person was, but something about her, especially her voice seemed really familiar.
The misty figure didn't respond before fading away. Once again, leaving Midoriya all alone in the endless void.
Author's Notes: Y'know...writing this fight was a lot harder than I expected. I never intended for it to be long, but it was still difficult to plug in the things that I wanted. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it.
1. So the truth has mostly been revealed. The next couple of chapters won't be as intense as the whole training camp arc. But a few key events are going to happen that will greatly affect the story. I'm going to do what I can to tone down the angst and add a bit of humor. Hopefully I'll be able to make it work.
2. For all those wondering, Midoriya and Fubuki's fight wasn't caught on camera. I know that it's kind of a copout on my part, but I decided to give Midoriya a break. Especially with what's about to happen. And the fight between All Might and AfO went mostly the same as in canon. With only a few changes.
Like always, thanks for reading and don't be afraid to leave a comment/review.
