Chapter 17: Dysfunctional Love
On Okuto Island, the heroes succeed in bringing Himiko Toga and many other villains to said island. Therefore, the battle begins when Gang Orca and his allies begin to face a Nomu accompanied by Moonfish and other villains.
Anonymous Hero: Did All For One give that Nomu more quirks?
Moonfish: Meat... "Attacking heroes with their teeth"
Gang Orca: Be alert! "Injured by a Moonfish Tooth"
Nomu: "Attacking heroes with various parts of himself"
The impact of Nomu's attack reached far back, hitting many heroes in the water including Light X, Deku, and Uravity.
Uravity: Deku! What did the professor tell you?
Deku: He told me to go back on my own. I imagine they can't afford to transport me.
Light X: I must do the same. Otherwise, All For One will kill a lot of heroes in Gunga.
Uraraka: Then hurry up!
At that instant, Himiko Toga hurriedly approaches Deku.
Himiko Toga: Don't go, Izuku! I love you! Don't go! "Smiling"
Light X: Damn! That crazy woman again! "Scared look"
Uravity: Toga! "Pushed by a wave"
Much to Deku's confusion, his Fourth quirk doesn't work despite the situation against Himiko Toga.
Deku: Himiko Toga... what do you want from me?
Toga: I want you to be my boyfriend. "Blushing"
Light X: What? This must be a joke. "Bored look"
Deku: Your boyfriend? What are you saying!? "Screaming blushing"
Toga: I've loved you since I saw you for the first time. You were just like my first love. You're great, Izuku. I want to become you.
Deku: The bride and groom go to the amusement park, shake hands and share crepes! "Blushing"
Uravity: "Jealous"
Light X: Midoriya... I think that's another difference between you and me, I mean, I'm not so innocent. "Talking mentally"
Confessing his feelings to Deku, Toga asks him what he wants to do to him, but the young hero doesn't know what to answer. However, Deku replies that he understands Toga for trying to look like someone but disapproves of his method. Meanwhile, Light X realizes a great truth.
Light X: Now I understand.
Froppy: What do you understand?
Light X: She always loved the real Izuku Midoriya.
Froppy: What do you mean?
Light X: Since I look like Midoriya, Toga became obsessed with me, but when he realized that I wasn't the real Midoriya, he pushed me aside.
Froppy: I see.
Light X: I still remember when she bit my arms. That was horrible.
Froppy: Did he do anything else to you?
Light X: He didn't do anything else to me.
Froopy: Sure?
Light X: Yes, I'm sure.
Froppy: Then I'll believe you.
Light X: "Confused"
Realizing that Deku rejected her feelings, Toga is determined to attack him, but Uraraka intervenes and tries to talk to her, but is attacked by the young villain. At that moment, Deku, Light X, and Froppy stop Toga.
Deku: Are you okay?
Uravity: Yes, it's just a scratch. Pick up the knife. She has blood.
Froppy: She's the most unpredictable. Bringing her to an island didn't go as we expected.
Toga: Tsuyu...
Froppy: Go away, Deku and Light X. This is not the time to talk about love affairs here. Follow the plan. We take care of it.
Uravity: Deku... Go confront Shigaraki.
Fropppy: And you go confront All For One, Light X.
Deku: Uraraka...
Light X: Tsuyu…
Uravity: Let us strive.
Light X: I agree. We must go, Deku. "Smiling"
Toga: How difficult it is to live. With how much I love you...
Uravity and Froppy: Go!
From that moment on, Deku and Light X activate their quirks and leave the island.
Light X: I wish you luck against Shigaraki, Deku! Goodbye!
Deku: Thank you, Light X! I also wish you luck against All For One!
When the young heroes take their own paths to their battles, Light X thinks about what happened to Toga.
Light X: That was intense! I don't want to imagine Toga as my sister-in-law. "Scared look"
As he continued to fly towards the ruins of Gunga, Light X recognized that he would not arrive in time, so he would be willing to use his new evolution.
Light X: At this rate, I won't make it in time and many heroes might die. I have no choice but to use my new evolution to get there on time.
