8It was early in the morning and all the heroes were on high alert.
The heroes had moved into the abandoned castle, keeping Katsuma inside. None of them had gotten any sleep, but Eri had rewinded their bodies back to when they were fully rested, so there was no issue with that.
"Any sign of them?" Bakugo asked Mirio through the coms.
Mirio was flying above the castle, using his super senses to keep watch for any attacks. "Not yet. Is the jammer still active?"
"Positive," Momo confirmed.
The League had put up a generator that would interfere with any kind of radar or scanning quirk, so Nine couldn't just make a portal into the exact room that Katsuma was in and take him. Nine could still use his scan quirk to follow the interference itself, it would just take a lot longer.
Then Mirio heard something.
Something was moving through the water. Something big.
Mirio looked at the sea with his X-ray vision, and he saw a massive beast-like skeleton moving towards them. It looked about as big as the castle itself.
Then he heard something else, this time underground. He used his X-ray vision again, and saw lots of red hair, moving through the underground cave system.
And once again he heard something else moving through the forest. Another look revealed wrappings taking over rocks and turning them into puppets, as a massive army of wrapped up objects was marching their way.
"They found us. Chimera is moving through the water behind us, Slice is moving in the caves under us, and Mummy is making an army to come towards us." Mirio reported. "And their enhanced quirks seem to be exactly like Batwoman predicted. No sign of Nine or Bane...wait a minute. Never mind. They're right in front of us."
Nine and Bane walked out of a portal, strutting towards the castle as the clouds above the castle began to darken.
"I see em," Bakugo said.
Hawkgirl flew next to Mirio, getting into position.
"Wait for them to get closer," Momo said.
Chimera emerged from the water, showing off his new appearance. Apart from his now-massive size, he was also sporting bat-like wings on his back, his claws were now bright green, his reptile-like tail had changed to become a giant snake, his body had draconic scales covering certain parts of him, he had two horns coming off the top of his head, and lastly he now had a giant dragon-like face coming out of his torso.
"God that is one ugly bastard," Bakugo said. "Can we fucking attack now?"
"Yes," Momo confirmed. "All heroes! Attack!"
With that order, the battle commenced.
Hawkgirl sent out a flurry of feathers at Nine and Bane obscuring both of their visions.
Hawkgirl, Aka, Senshi Takami. Quirk: Valkyrie, being a genetically altered clone of Hawks, she has all his abilities and more. Her feathers are stronger than Hawks and grow back in two seconds after being sent out. She also had enhanced strength and durability and was equipped with an electric mace.
Bane flicked his fingers, creating a gust of wind that made the feathers fly off.
Mirio flew out from the shroud of feathers, and uppercut Bane in the jaw, sending him flying into the sky.
Mirio charged at full speed at Bane and kept punching him rapidly in the chest to keep sending him higher.
Bane grabbed Mirio's fist, stopping his attack, before grabbing Mirio's head and kneeing him in the face.
"Gah!" Mirio cried out as blood leaked from his nose. He got stronger again. It's like every time I see him he just keeps improving that drug!
Bane held up Mirio's head, ready to punch him. Mirio tried to struggle his way out of Bane's hand but to no avail. "You will not be victorious this time Lemillion, I have spent every second since my defeat, thinking of ways to improve my Venom. To become even stronger than you! Now I am-"
Before Bane could continue, Hawkgirl flew up and hit Bane in the face with her mace, stunning him and allowing Mirio to uppercut him even higher into the sky.
"Thanks," Mirio said while wiping the blood from his face.
"Less talking, more uppercutting," Hawkgirl said. "I'm guessing he's stronger then he was last time."
"Yup. He's determined I'll give him that." Mirio cracked a smile. "But I'm even more determined! POWER!"
Back on the ground.
"Let's fight metal face!" Bakugo shouted while propelling himself right at Nine.
Nine raised his fingers to blast Bakugo out of the sky, but Tensei ran at full speed, punching Nine in the face, not really doing much damage but managing to stun Nine long enough for Bakugo to get close.
"DIE!" Bakugo shouted as he unleashed a point-blank explosion right at Nine's chest.
KABOOM.
Ground Zero, Aka, Katsuki Bakugo. Quirk: Destruction. After using Venom(something he was VERY reluctant to do and constantly complains about.) Bakugo's quirk had evolved and changed significantly. Now rather than nitroglycerin, Bakugo sweated a unique liquid that was even more powerful, Bakugo was now able to explode from any part of his body, and he was more resilient to his own explosions.
Bakugo put his hands together. "ROCKET BURST!"
A massive blast exploded from Bakugo's hand, reassembling the blast off of a rocket.
Nine, after getting blown back by that first explosion, Nine immediately put up a barrier to block the rest of Bakugo's attacks.
Bakugo's attacks were relentless, but Nine's shield held up, and he summoned a bolt of lightning from the sky to strike Bakugo.
Bakugo used his explosion to propel himself backward, barely getting out of the way of the lightning strike.
Nine, with his enhanced abilities, summoned several more bolts of lighting, forcing Bakugo to go on the defense as he was barely able to dodge the lightning.
Nine stirred up the winds, making tornadoes across the battlefield.
Bakugo fought against the strong winds, trying to use his explosions to keep himself steady, but this essentially kept him in place, giving Nine the chance to attack.
Light flashed in the skies as Nine made the strongest bolt of lighting he could, before bringing it down on to the hero.
Before the lightning could come down on Bakugo, some tape wrapped around his waist and pulled him away.
"You ok?" Sero asked, letting Bakugo go.
"I'm fine! Where the hell is round face with those rocks?!" Bakugo asked.
"Well the explosions and tornadoes probably slowed her down a bit but they should be coming soo-" Sero was cut off when he heard a loud rumbling coming from uphill. "There it is."
Bakugo and Sero went into the air to avoid the landslide that was coming downhill, right towards Nine.
Nine made a multi-barrier to block the oncoming boulders, leaving him stuck in place as he was blocking the landslide.
"He's in position!" Bakugo shouted into the coms.
Then, from the castle, missiles launched out and homed in right at Nine.
Nine's eyes widened, and he put up a barrier above him to block the missiles and braced himself for impact.
KABOOM!
Sero looked away from the blinding light of the explosion, while Bakugo just stared directly at it while the mushroom cloud formed.
"You think that finished him off?" Sero asked.
"Not a fucking chance," Bakugo said.
Meanwhile Underground.
Slice fell on her ass as the explosion from up above, shook the entire cave system.
Parts of the cave collapsed, blocking off the way forward.
"Damn it!" Slice cursed. She had been told by Nine to take the underground route and try to sneak into the castle and take the kid while he and the other's distracted the heroes.
"Looks like I'll have to do this the hard way!" Slice said, turning her hair into a big drill.
Then suddenly, acid shot out of one of the holes in the cave floor and destroyed her hair drill.
"What!?" Slice shouted in alarm. Looking at the dark cave more closely, she could see tiny holes in the floor. "It's a trap!"
"RAGNAROK!" Came Tokoyami's booming voice from the dark cavern behind her.
The huge monstrosity that was Dark Shadow came rushing at Slice, who sent out as much hair as she could to stop him.
Dark Shadow started pushing through the mass of hair, but Slice just kept making her hair grow, and grow, and grow, eventually having enough hair to keep Dark Shadow at bay.
Before she could make more hair to overwhelm Dark Shadow, acid shot out from the holes onto her hair.
"AH! Not again!" Slice shouted as her hair started to melt. She was about to send some hair into the hole's to go chase down Mina, but then she felt a very cold hand on her head.
"Sub Zero," Todoroki said calmly before freezing Slice's entire body and hair, instantly.
The cave was dead quiet for a while, as the heroes stood ready, waiting to see if the villain broke out of the ice.
After a couple minutes passed, the heroes relaxed as the villain stayed frozen.
"Whew. That was easier than I thought!" Mina said while crawling out of one of the holes in the ground.
"After Momo predicted what their evolved quirks would be like, all they had to do was plan against them," Todoroki said. "All I needed to do was get close and freeze her body. Once her hair was out of the way she had no defense against being frozen."
"What happens if she thaws out?" Tokoyami asked.
"It's a deep freeze. Even if she thaws out she won't be moving for a few days." Todoroki explained. "Now let's hurry. Let's see if we can help the others."
"Wait," Tokoyami said, taking a needle from his belt and stabbing Slice through the Ice with it. After the needle filled up with blood, Tokoyami pulled it out. "Alright now let us go."
The other two nodded and ran to go assist their friends.
"Makes me wish Raven hadn't stayed behind." Tokoyami sighed.
Meanwhile, in the forest.
Nejire smiled at the sight before her, an army of mummies was marching towards her, with Mummy himself in the back, converting any rocks, rubble and any inorganic material into more minions for him to use.
Mummy smirked under his wrappings. Did they only send her up against me? They must be underestimating me!
Mummy's minions ran out at Nejire, who just stood there and smiled at them.
Wow, his quirk is really strong! Looks like he can turn anything non-living into a mummy! I wonder if he could take control of clothes? Does their durability, speed or power depend on what they were made of originally? Can he add more bandages to improve their performance? I have so many questions! Nejire raised her hands up towards the oncoming army and charged up her attack. But I do know one thing about his quirk though. It's not very good against strong spread attacks!
"GRING WAVE!" Nejire shouted, and from her hands exploded huge literal waves of destruction.
Her waves washed over every last one of the mummies, destroying them in an instant.
Mummy's eyes widened in fear as the literal death waves came towards him, as he started getting flashbacks to Aoyama's laser. "No! NO!"
Mummy wrapped himself up in as many bandages as he could, putting himself into a big ball of bandages before the wave washed over him as well.
After a minute or two, the wave dispersed, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Miles and miles of destroyed land going out as far as the eye could see. And in the center of it was a very, very injured and barely conscious Mummy.
Nejire Hado. Quirk: Wave Motion Plus. After taking Venom, her quirk has become both more powerful, and versatile as well.
Nejire flew over to Mummy to check him. "Oh good, you're still alive!"
"I've never seen...you use it like that before." Mummy groaned.
"Since I work in the city and don't fight armies that often so I don't get the chance to do that a lot!" Nejire said excitedly. "So thanks for that! It was really fun!"
"Screw you," Mummy said before passing out.
Meanwhile
Chimera loomed over the castle, looking at the heroes that were battling Nine.
He opened his mouth, charging a beam, ready to strike Nine's attackers. But before he could fire it, a large snake came out of the water and wrapped around Chimera's throat, pulling his head back and causing him to shoot his beam off into the sky.
The rest of the snake's body came out of the water, appearing to look like that of a dragon with even more scaly snakeheads, making the creature a hydra.
Sun Eater, Aka, Tamaki Amajiki. Quirk: Manifest Plus. Like his friends, Tamaki also used Venom to increase the power and efficiency of his quirk. Now when he eats something, he can manifest a physical characteristic of what he ate, even after it's left his body, allowing him to have a wide variety of transformations at any given moment. He can also has more flexibility with his transformations, and can even copy people's quirks if he consumes their DNA. (Although it's agreed that he not do it too often.) He has already consumed the DNA of Ryukyu and Mirio(Pre One for All, and pre him losing his original quirk.)
Tamaki used two of his hydra heads and sunk their teeth into Chimera's flesh, his fangs pumping toxin into the villain's bloodstream.
"RAHHHH!" Chimera shouted out in pain.
Chimera used his snake tail to bite into Tamaki, pumping in his own venom into Tamaki's body. This was not very effective, as Tamaki had eaten plenty of animals with high poison resistance.
Seeing as this was ineffective, Chimera used his massive claws and ripped off the head that was wrapped around his throat.
"WAHHGAH!" Tamaki roared in pain, his two heads pulling out of Chimera.
Chimera grabbed at Tamaki's body, lifting him up into the air before throwing him down into the water, making huge waves.
Chimera was about to charge up a laser to fire at Tamaki when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his legs. "GAHH! What the fuck!?"
Chimera raised one of his legs out of the water and saw dozens of sharks were biting onto him, gnawing into his flesh. Courtesy of Koda.
With Chimera distracted, Tamaki used this time to recover and go on the offensive. Tamaki sent two of his heads through the ground with permeation, before making them pop out near Chimera's feet, wrapping them around them and tripping Chimera, causing him to fall into the water.
With his mission complete, Tamaki unwrapped his heads and brought them back to his body. Then he started to change, his snakeheads slithered back into his body, which became less dragonic and more serpent-like. In a few seconds, Tamaki had changed from hydra to a Leviathan, before sinking into the ground.
Chimera started pulling himself up, which was difficult as Tamaki's toxin had started to take effect, already his body felt unresponsive and his vision was blurry. "Damn it!"
Managing to get to his feet, Chimera looked around for his opponent. "Where the hell did he-"
"Hey ugly!"
Chimera turned around, now facing the castle.
Toru stood at the top of the castle with a megaphone, fully clad in her stealth suit. "Say cheese!"
Toru then exploded with light, blinding Chimera.
"AHHH!" Chimera shouted as he covered his eyes.
"Now!" Toru shouted into the coms.
Then Tsuyu blasted out of the water, carrying Kaminari with her tongue. She scaled the giant villain, hopping and leaping until she reached the top on the villain's head.
Tsuyu quickly lept off of Chimera and back onto land.
"Chargebolt is in place." Tsuyu said. "Your turn Sun-Eater."
Tamaki rose out of the ground and wrapped his large, snake-like body around Chimera.
"Alright, Sun Eater let's do this!" Kaminari said, holding onto Chimera's hair. "DUAL SHOCK!"
Kaminari activated his quirk, and Tamaki activated his electric eel powers, and since Chimera was covered head to toe in water, the electricity spread all throughout his massive body, giving him a nasty shock!
"RAHHHHH!" Chimera cried out in pain as electricity flowed through him.
After about half a minute, the attack stopped, leaving Chimera fried and unconscious. And with a few dozen dead sharks at his feet.
"Weeyyy." Kaminari used full power, so now his brain was fried.
Chimera fell over, causing Kaminari to go flying off his head, and fall towards the water below, only to be grabbed by Tsuyu's tongue.
Tamaki transformed himself into a dragon, taking flight above the area where Chimera fell. He turned his fingers into tentacles and used them to lift Chimera's upper body out of the water.
He sat Chimera upright against the land, making sure he wouldn't drown.
Tamaki flew back to the castle, landing where the rest of his allies were standing before transforming back to normal.
"Mission complete." Tsuyu said into the coms. "Jiro, Shoji, what's going on with everyone else?"
"Wheeey!?" Kaminari derped.
Jiro was on the ground, using her earphone jack to hear what was going on underground with the team that was fighting Slice. And Shoji was on the castle, using his quirk to see what was going on with Nejire and the team fighting Nine.
"Everyone is done underground, they'll be resurfacing soon," Jiro said.
"Nejire is done dealing with Mummy, I can't see Lemillion and Hawkgirl anymore so that's a good sign, and Bakugo and the others are still engaged against Nine and they haven't done much to him it seems," Shoji said.
"Alright, all teams besides Mirio and Hawkgirl, join up with Ground Zero's team and attack Nine," Momo ordered through the coms. "Except Kaminari. Froppy get him inside before joining everyone."
"Got it. Kero." Tsuyu said before hopping away with Kaminari.
Back with Mirio.
A high-speed battle high in the sky was taking place, Bane and Mirio were locked in rapid punch competition, Mirio pushing himself to keep up with Bane's enhanced strength, his muscles growing and his bones cracking with each clash.
Hawkgirl came up behind him and swung her mace at his head, but Bane grabbed the mace, tanking the shock and swinging it around, hitting Mirio with Hawkgirl.
"AHH!" Hawkgirl and Mirio cried as they were blown back.
Bane kicked the air behind him, sending him flying towards his enemies with his fist cocked and ready to strike.
Mirio recovered in the nick of time, and blew out his super-breath, making winds so strong they managed to slow Bane down, giving him time to blast his heat vision right at Bane's chest, sending him flying up.
"We need to synchronize our attacks. He's too strong and fast for us to do this otherwise." Mirio said.
"Right," Hawkgirl said. "You hit low, I'll hit high."
"Got it!" Mirio smiled as they flew off towards Bane.
When Bane was in sight, Mirio charged at him and aimed a punch at Bane's chest, which Bane caught, he threw another punch at Bane's chest, which was again caught by Bane. But then Hawkgirl flew up and hit Bane in the head with her mace.
With Bane recoiling, Mirio spun Bane around, before throwing him up, higher into the sky.
The heroes flew up and Hawkgirl shot out a lot of her feathers at Bane, covering his field of view.
Bane clapped, causing the feathers to get blown away by the wind, but this gave Mirio the opening to uppercut Bane, sending him even higher up.
The two heroes used their numbers and mobility advantage to keep landing hits and sending the villain higher, and higher.
Hawkgirl landed another hit to Bane's jaw, sending him flying up.
Hawkgirl started breathing heavily, struggling to get air at such a high altitude.
"Damn it. Looks like this is as far as I go." Hawkgirl said. "It's all up to you Mirio. Here."
Hawkgirl shot out more of her feathers, covering Mirio in feathery armor. It wouldn't do much against Bane, but it was better than nothing.
"Thanks! I won't let you down!" Mirio gave her a thumbs up, before flying off to fight Bane.
It didn't take long as Bane was charging right at him.
I have to do the rest by myself. Mirio thought as blue lightning crackled around his body. I need to do it now! Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
"One for All! 1,000,000%! POWER!" Mirio's power exploded, and he flew at Bane with a speed that was too much for even him.
He hit Bane right in the chest.
FWOOM!
Bane gasped as the air was knocked right out of him, as he was sent higher and higher.
With insane speed, Mirio charged at Bane, gabbing him and flying them higher up.
Bane hit Mirio's back repeatedly, causing the hero immense pain, along with the pain that using this much of his power already caused him, but he pushed on and kept flying them both higher.
Bane started noticing it was getting colder, and harder to breathe. He tried to kick the air to put up some resistance. But there was one problem.
There was no air.
Mirio had flown the two of them all the way into space.
Mirio pushed him away and watched as Bane struggled helplessly in the vacuum of space. Even if you become stronger and faster than me Bane, I still have a few tricks that can help me get the upper hand.
Photosynthesis, one of the quirks Mirio was provided by One for All, allowed the user to survive using only sunlight. No need for food, water or even air. That combined with his super-enhanced body which could survive the harmful effects of space, allowed Mirio to survive just fine in this extremely hostile environment.
Bane on the other hand, while he had an extremely durable body, could not survive without air. And with nothing to kick off of, all he could do was curse Lemillion in his head.
Damn you Lemillion! This is not...the end…Were Bane's last thoughts as he passed out from lack of oxygen.
Mirio powered down. Alright. If everything went as planned, then the other villains should already be down. All we have to do is take care of Nine.
Mirio used his supervision to find his target, before taking Bane's body and flying downwards.
Back with Nine.
Nine made portals all around Bakugo, shooting out lasers and dragon through them while using his lighting to cut off and aerial escape.
Bakugo blew up the dragons and tried to dodge the lasers and lightning but was unable to dodge them all in time and was hit in the chest.
"GAH!" Bakugo spat out some blood as he was knocked out of the air.
Nine made a portal below Bakugo and stuck his hand through it, intending for Bakugo to fall into his hand and allowing Nine to drain Bakugo's strength.
But before that could happen, Tensei grabbed Bakugo out of the air before running away with him.
With no heroes in his way for the moment, Nine charged up his body with the power he took from Mirio earlier, intending to use his speed to at least get a lot closer to the castle before they could send any more heroes at him.
But he didn't make it very far before he found himself stuck on something. He looked down and saw the ground was littered with clusters of Mineta's purple balls stuck on the ground.
Nine pried the ball off his foot and threw it away. Then he summoned Lightning down on top of all the balls, destroying them and setting the ground on fire.
Damn these heroes! Nine thought. They must have figured out about my cellular degeneration, and are trying to make me exert myself. If it weren't for Bane's Venom I would be hunched over by now. Hopefully, that brutish monster can at least hold Lemillion off for-
It was then that he heard a loud noise coming from directly above him, he looked up and saw a flaming ball coming down right on top of him. It was Bane's unconscious body that Mirio was flying full speed right at Nine.
Nine put up as many barriers as he could in the few seconds he had before the impact came.
POOWM!
Bane's body hit the barriers with an explosive impact. Surrounding the entire area in a blinding light.
The ground shook as the impact caused an earthquake across the entire Island.
Inside the castle everyone of the heroes braced themselves.
After a few minutes, the flash dissipated, the earthquakes stopped. The section of land that was hit had sunken into the water, leaving nothing behind but jagged rocks.
"Is everyone ok?" Momo asked through the coms.
After getting various conformations that everyone was fine, Momo spoke again.
"Lemillion where are you?" Momo asked.
"In the water." Mirio groaned. He had dropped Bane before he hit the barrier, but he still got caught up in the blast and was sent flying into the water.
"Are you heavily injured?" Momo asked. "Eri's passed out so we won't be able to heal you."
"I'm fine," Mirio said. In truth, he had quite the number of injuries from both his fight with Bane and the explosion, but all in all he could definitely still keep fighting.
"Then I need you to get up in the air and look for Nine. We can't let him escape." Momo ordered.
"Right," Mirio said, before flying up out of the water and into the skies above. He got an overview of the battleground and used his supervision and X-ray vision to try and find the villain.
"Nope. No sight of him. Or Bane for that matter." Mirio sighed. "Why is it so many villains have teleportation quirks. I mean I know he stole his, but just, in general, why is it we have to deal with so many villains with warp quirks?"
"Focus," Momo said. "Look around some more to see if he's close then-"
"Wait." Mirio looked down and saw Nine walking through one of his portals, this time much closer but not exactly at the Castle. He was heavily injured and his clothes were heavily torn, the metal mask around his face was destroyed. "He's here. In front of the castle."
"All right, final attack team, go!" Momo said.
With that, the heroes all charged at Nine. Ground Zero, Hawkgirl, Flash, Sun Eater, Nejire, Mirio, Todoroki, Tokoyami, and Aoyama all went out on the attack.
Aoyama shot off a charged beam right at Nine, who made a barrier to block it.
Tamaki ran at Nine with cheetah legs, before jumping right through his barrier with permeation, transforming his arms into tentacles and wrapping them around Nine, then giving him an extreme shock.
Which did absolutely nothing, as Nine used his laser fingers to cut off the tentacle, and then to shot Tamaki in the chest, sending him flying through the barrier.
Tensei ran at Nine, ready to punch him, only for his fist to get caught much to his surprise.
Nine tossed Tensei aside, before using his hand to put up a barrier and block Bakugo's explosion.
Bakugo kept up with unrelenting explosions, but Nine's barrier stayed up.
Nine curved the barrier around him, covering him completely from any attacks.
"He's going on the defensive," Mirio noted.
"That doesn't make any sense. If his quirks cause cellular degeneration then going on the defensive would still cause him to take damage." Momo noted. "What is he-"
BOOM!
A powerful bolt of lightning crashed into the ground behind the heroes, cutting through the ground like a knife through butter.
The lightning acted abnormally and kept cutting through the ground like a saw.
When the lightning stopped, the land had been carved in two, and the ground that the castle was standing on began falling into the water.
"The castle!" Tokoyami shouted.
Inside the castle, the heroes inside took hold of something, Mineta threw out his balls to his classmates, giving something to help them hold on, and Sato grabbed Katsuma and Eri and kept them in his arms for protection.
Before the castle could fall into the water, Nine opened a giant portal that swallowed the castle, spitting it out much farther away from the battlefield.
The castle crashed into the ground, destroying most of it, but everyone was fine thanks to Mineta's balls.
The heroes stood in stunned silence for a moment, and Nine used this opportunity to speak.
"When I came to this island in the middle of nowhere with a population of practically no one, I did not expect about twenty heroes and a member of the justice league to be here. And since then you have bombed me, shot missiles at, hit me with lasers, and dropped a luchador on me from orbit." Nine said, his fury present in each of his words. "And now that I don't have to worry about accidentally killing the child. I am done with all of you!"
With that, Nine started using the full extent of his quirks. Summoning massive tornadoes hail the size of boulders, huge bolts of lightning, and enormous earthquakes.
The cliffside is now completely destroyed, reduced to rocks getting carried away by the winds, as everyone but Mirio got swept away in the winds, being thrown around by the tornados and beaten by the hail.
Mirio grit his teeth as he looked up at the stormy sky.
"SMASH!" Mirio said as he punched the sky, kicking up winds and causing the dark clouds to disperse, and thus returned the weather to normal.
With the winds coming to a manageable level, the other heroes managed to steady themselves in the air, except for Flash, Todoroki, and Aoyama, who can't fly.
Hawkgirl sent out her feathers to catch her falling allies, making platforms of feathers below them, while Tamaki, Bakugo, Nejire, and Tokoyami went to attack Nine.
"His weather powers are too strong, I'll keep him from using his weather manipulation," Mirio said, continuously punching away the clouds and stirring winds.
"Todoroki we need ground!" Hawkgirl said.
"Get me to the water," Todoroki said.
Hawkgirl lowered Todoroki down to the water. Todoroki brought his right hand to the water's surface, and then instantly froze it, making a couple miles of ice.
Hawkgirl lowered Aoyama and Flash onto the ice and they all looked up at Nine who was fighting the others.
Nine was wrapped up in his barrier, using portals to attack so he didn't break it.
Portals opened up all around Nejire as lasers and dragons flew out at her.
Nejire's energy wave's burst out of her, destroying all the attacks coming at her.
Tamaki turned his fingers into tentacles, with scorpion stingers on the end, using permeation to get them through the barrier, he then stuck the stingers into Nine's open wounds, pumping in as much poison as he could before Nine cut off the tentacles with his laser fingers.
Using this distraction as an opportunity, Bakugo and Nejire flew next to each other.
"Hey, sparkly! Half and Half!" Bakugo said, talking to Aoyama. "Get your dick laser and fire ready we're gonna fire!"
"It is not a crotch laser! It is a navel laser!" Aoyama corrected.
The four of them charged up their attacks, Nejire's gauntlets opening up and then sticking together allowing for a stronger and more focused attack.
"FIRE!" Bakugo shouted. "Ap shot!"
"Focus beam!" Nejire cried.
"Supernova!" Todoroki said.
"Shining laser!" Aoyama screamed.
All four of them fired their most powerful attacks right at Nine, hitting the barrier head-on.
Nine's barrier immediately started to crack, as he struggled to reinforce it. The four of them kept up the pressure.
Up above Mirio, who was trying to keep the clouds away, now had an opening as Nine was too preoccupied to try and use his weather quirk.
Mirio charged up his heat vision, before adding it to the blast that were already pressing against Nine's barrier.
The cracks spread faster and faster as Nine was unable to match the power of the five of them. Then he had an idea.
As the barrier was breaking, he created a portal in front of him and a portal next to Bakugo and Nejire.
When the blast came at Nine they went through the portal, and all that destructive power hit Bakugo and Nejire head-on.
Boom!
"Bakugo! Nejire!" Mirio and the others stopped their attack and looked at the smoke that had come from the blast hitting their two friends.
Bakugo and Nejire fell out of the smoke, wounded and unconscious.
"Damn it!" Hawkgirl said as she sent out some of her feathers to catch them and bring them down to the ice. "Flash get them out of here!"
Tensei grabbed Bakugo and Nejire and ran them back to the castle.
Meanwhile, Tamaki transformed into his dragon form, while adding in various other dangerous elements from other animals.
Nine charged at Tamaki and tried to punch him in the head, only for him to go right through it. Tamaki turned his tail into a bunch of snakes that tried to bite Nine, while also transforming his fingers into tentacles to grab him.
Nine used his laser fingers to destroy the snakes and launched the dragons out of his back to destroy the tentacles.
Hawkgirl shot out dozens of her feathers, her flight slowing as she shot out so many feathers that it became hard to fly despite how fast she could grow them back.
The feathers swirled around Nine like a tornado, completely obscuring his field of vision. The feathers attacked Nine's wounds stabbing at his bruises and crawling into his cuts.
"AHHH!" Nine screamed in pain as the feathers dug into his flesh, he couldn't use his weather manipulation quirk to get out of this because Mirio kept punching away the weather. The only way out of this would be to take out Hawkgirl herself. Which was difficult because he couldn't see anything.
Damn it! If only I could use my scanning quirk! Nine cursed, then he realized something. Whatever is causing my scan quirk to not function properly, was probably in the castle I just toppled. Maybe it was destroyed when I sent it on its side.
Nine activated his scan quirk, and it worked just like it should. Allowing him to see Hawkgirl through the shroud of feathers.
Nine dashed through the feathers and punched Hawkgirl in the face.
Hawkgirl was launched far into the distance until no one but Mirio could see her anymore.
"Hawkgirl!" Mirio said. "She's unconscious! Flash you need to get her!"
Tensei ran across the water to retrieve yet another unconscious friend.
"He was able to knock out Hawkgirl in one hit?!" Momo exclaimed through the coms. "If he had that kind of strength why didn't he use it sooner? Unless...he drained Bane."
Everyone's eyes widened in shock and terror, as the realization of just how strong the villain had become set in.
"Flash. When you get back, I'm giving authorization for plan V.T." Momo said.
"You sure?" Tensei asked as he carried the unconscious Hawkgirl back to the castle.
"We don't have a choice! Tamaki hold him off, everyone else provide support." Momo ordered. "Todoroki, you stay back for now."
Todoroki was confused but didn't ask questions. He had faith in his friend's plan.
Sun Eater flew at Nine, opening his maw and shooting out spider webbing.
Nine put up a barrier to block it, opened a portal next to him that led to right above Tamaki. He shot a laser into it that went right through Sun-Eater, doing absolutely no damage thanks to permeation.
Tamaki flew at Nine, raising both his hands before bringing them down to smash Nine, who simply caught both attacks. Before Nine could capitalize, Tamaki used permeation to phase both his hands through Nine, before delivering a surprise headbutt.
The headbutt sent Nine back a bit but ultimately didn't do much damage to the villain. However, it did make an opening for Aoyama to deliver a fully charged beam right at Nine.
Boom!
Nine grunted in annoyance. Sun Eater! Hitting him is going to be annoying...unless.
It was all or nothing at this point, so Nine aimed all of his fingers at Aoyama, whose stomach was recovering from the last blast and was therefore defenseless.
Nine charged up his lasers, Tokoyami flew at Nine in an attempt to stop this but was stopped by the serpentine dragons Nine shot out of his back, ensnaring Tokoyami in their jaws.
"Ahh!" He shouted in pain.
Tamaki flew at Nine, hoping to attack him before he could fire at Aoyama.
Nine sent out three more dragons from his back to try and bite Tamaki, but he just became intangible and just flew through them.
As Tamaki approached Nine he opened his jaw ready to bite at the villain, when suddenly Nine made a portal in front of his fingers, and another one behind him that led to Tamaki's open mouth and fired.
Sun Eater had no time to react and was hit right in the mouth by Nine's attack.
"RAHHHHHH!" Tamaki roared in pain, smoke emanating from his jaw as he started transforming back into his human state before falling to the water, unconscious.
"Sun Eater!" Tokoyami shouted, still trapped in one of the dragon's mouths. Dark Shadow tried to free him, but it was far too sunny out for him to be able to fight against this kind of strength.
Nine aimed two fingers at Tokoyami before hitting him right in the face with a laser.
"Ghhhhgg." Tokoyami groaned weakly as he fell into unconsciousness. Nine dropped Tokoyami, letting him fall into the water.
Nine would have loved to capitalize and kill these heroes while they were unconscious, but he simply did not have the energy to deal with people that were no longer a direct threat, he already had to constantly use his weather controlling quirk to keep Lemillion occupied, and that was causing him so much pain already. Also keeping them alive meant it kept Flash busy recovering them.
He put up another barrier to block another blast from Aoyama, this time it was much weaker as he didn't have as much time to charge the beam.
Nine fired three-finger beams at him, taking the shining knight out of the fight as he floated in the water.
Todoroki grit his teeth as Nine looked directly at him.
Then, Mirio flew back down from the sky and sucker-punched Nine, sending him flying into the water.
Then Tensei came back and ran up to Shoto.
"Here you go. Sorry, it took me so long. Batwoman had to cook this up." Tensei said before handing Shoto a purple syringe.
"Is this...Venom?" Todoroki asked.
"Yeah. Listen, we can't make you take it, but if you don't, we might all die." Tensei said. "I gotta go!"
Tensei ran off to take the rest of the downed heroes away from the battlefield, leaving Shoto with the decision.
Shoto looked at the vial, and then back up at Nine and Mirio, who were fighting in the sky.
Mirio had many advantages, but Nine with Bane's added power was simply stronger and faster than the ninth wielder of One for All at 100%.
Endeavor...my father swallowed his pride and took this before sacrificing himself. Shoto reflected. If I can't do this much...then I have no hope of surpassing him.
Resolute in his decision, Shoto injected himself.
Seconds later he felt it. Hot, cold, he doubled over as he felt his body switch between the two temperatures, the cold and the heat overwhelming him, his own power overwhelming him until.
"RAHHHHHHH!"
BOOM!
Nine and Mirio stopped to look at the explosion.
When it died down, standing in the center was Todoroki. His hair was different. Now instead of his left side being red and his right side being white, now his hair was a perfect combination of the colors. Both red and white.
Most of the ice he had created earlier was destroyed, leaving Todoroki standing on a single pillar of ice.
He looked down at his hands, creating fire in both hands, before creating ice in both hands.
"I see," Todoroki said. "No more separation. It's mixed."
Nine aimed his finger lasers at Todoroki, intent on taking the powered-up hero out as soon as possible.
Before Nine could even fire his attack, his arm was completely covered in ice.
"What?!" Nine gasped, shocked at Todoroki's new speed and by just how cold the ice was.
Shoto raised the ice pillar up with extreme speed, racing towards Nine.
Nine freed his arm from the ice and shot the ice pillar Todoroki was riding on.
In response Todoroki shot fire out from his feet, rocketing towards his foe with his arm outstretched and flames in his hand.
Nine bubbled himself in a barrier to protect himself.
Shoto switched his flames to frost, and when he touched the first barrier, he froze it so completely that it just fell apart into small icy shards.
Nine was shocked, and Mirio took this opportunity to charge in and land another sucker punch right at Nine's face.
"RAhhh!" Nine grunted. With Mirio no longer punching the clouds away, Nine once again tried to summon the dark clouds over the battlefield.
Seeing this, Todoroki made a pillar of ice below him, and then-
"Tundra."
Suddenly Todoroki exploded, freezing power emanating from him and filling the area.
The sea froze, the land was covered with ice and snow, and the clouds were no longer thundering but rather letting down snow and hail.
"Brrr!" Lemillion shivered. "It feels like I'm in space again."
In the extreme cold, so freezing that normal people would not survive it, Nine would have a much harder time controlling the weather now.
"Damn you, heroes!" Nine shouted as he unleashed a flurry of finger beams at Todoroki.
Shoto shot out a stream of fire that clashed with the beams. He added some extra power to the flames, causing them to swallow the thin beams.
Nine put up a barrier to block the flames, and Mirio swooped in for another hit, but Nine sent a few of his dragons at him.
Mirio dodged the dragon's lunges, before using his heat vision to destroy them all.
Todoroki rode around on his ice, shooting fireballs at Nine which the villain blocked repeatedly while shooting lasers trying to hit Todoroki.
"Hmmm." Todorkoi racked his brain trying to think of how to get an advantage. He thought back to his father's techniques, he had been able to replicate and even improve upon a few of them, but some of them required more than one hand to do, leaving him unable to do them with only his left side. But now…
Shoto brought his hands together, forming a spear made of pure fire.
He rocketed off his pillar using his flames.
Nine made another barrier to block the attack, he heard Mirio coming in on his other side and made a barrier their two.
Todoroki and Mirio hit the barriers head-on. Shoto thrusting his spear into it and Mirio tried to punch his way through, while Nine tried to keep them both up.
Shoto shot flames out of the lower half of his body, making him seem like a rocket as he used all the power he had to try and pierce Nine's defenses.
"1,000,000...percent!" Mirio shouted as he powered up. "Power!"
The barrier's started to crack, as Nine had to use more and more power keeping them up. The purple veins that the Venom had been fighting off started crawling up his face, as his cellular degeneration was really getting to him now.
Nine made a portal under him, before ceasing the wind manipulation that was allowing him to fly, and dropping into it, appearing elsewhere. Then he lowered the barriers, making Shoto and Mirio hit each other.
Boom!
The two heroes flew back after the impact, Mirio not so much, but Shoto was sent flying across the sky, knocked out.
Shoto hit the ice, leaving just Mirio and Nine left in the fight.
Mirio grit his teeth. Damn it. I've already gone past my limits. If I could just weaken him, a little bit more.
Mirio's eyes glowed red indicating that he was going to use his heat vision. Nine, in response, raised his hand and created a barrier.
But it was a fake-out, and Mirio instead used his freezing breath to freeze the barrier, making it weaker and allowing the hero to charge right through it at Nine delivering a kick to his gut.
Mirio followed it with a blast of heat vision, forcing Nine down towards the water.
As Nine was being pushed downwards, he created a portal behind him that led to behind Mirio. When Nine got pushed through the portal he hit Mirio, causing him to stop his assault.
Nine grabbed Mirio's face and tried to use Parasite's quirk, only to find it wasn't working.
Mirio smiled at the villain's shock, before punching him right in the face causing him to let go.
"Thought we'd fall for the same trick twice?" Mirio said confidently. "Batwoman added a little something to our lunches, making sure that when we sweat, we'll be sweating a chemical that Parasite's quirk can't get through. And since you've given us a pretty good exercise, we've got plenty of sweat!"
Mirio tried to deliver another punch to Nine's face, but Nine caught it this time.
"That's fine." Nine started to crush Mirio's hand, making the hero groan in pain. "I've got all the power I need to destroy you!"
Mirio tried to blast his heat vision at Nine's face, but Nine predicted this and made a portal there, making Mirio's heat vision hit his ribs instead.
"Predictable." Nine said, he gripped Mirio's arm tightly and punched Mirio in the face. Again and again and again.
On the fourth punch, Mirio grabbed Nine's arm, barely holding back Nine's fist from his face.
Mirio then raised his feet, and kicked Nine in the chest, causing him to let go, and making both of them fly away from each other.
Mirio clutched his ribs as he took a second to recover. I-I can't beat him like this. He's too strong, too fast. And the more we fight him the more he learns how to fight back. Think I need to...think.
Mirio racked his brain for anything he could use to get a leg up against the villain. Drown him? Throw him into space? No, he was stronger and faster than him now, and his portals would let him escape those scenarios easily. Try to play defensive and lead him away? That only works if you're faster than the opponent.
As Mirio was thinking, he remembered something. A conversation he had a long time ago.
Flashback.
Mirio was in one of Izuku's testing facilities, standing over a large pile of burnt robots.
"Whew," Mirio said, sitting down and letting himself recover, his eyes faintly emitting smoke. "Anybody got some water?"
He looked over to Nejire, who was furiously scribbling down notes, and Izuku who was looking at a tablet.
Izuku threw Mirio a bottle of water and watched as he proceeded to pour it on his head.
"Well, we can definitely tell that the beams are solar-powered," Izuku noted. "Would you mind describing your heat vision again?"
"Well. It feels like something is coming into my eyes and gathering in my head, and when I let it out, they shoot out as hot beams from my eyes." Mirio explained. "Although if I overuse it, then my eyes really start to burn. And if I charge it up for too long, the heat starts to spread to the rest of my body, it really hurts so I figured I shouldn't let that happen."
"Probably a good idea," Izuku said.
"Wait!" Nejire had an idea. "You said that it gathers up energy right?"
"Yup. Why?" Mirio asked.
"And One for all stockpiles energy right?" Nejire pointed out.
"Where are you going with this?" Izuku asked.
"What if you let that solar energy flow through your body, and use it to increase One for all power?" Nejire suggested. "Like a solar-powered All Might!"
"Huh." Mirio thought about that idea. Sure letting the energy from the heat vision flow past his head hurt a lot, but he could deal with pain if it meant more power to save people with.
"I wouldn't test that if I were you," Izuku warned. "You might just end up making your head explode. And even if you did succeed, that would probably cause your whole body to overheat and burn up from the inside."
Mirio cringed at the thought. "Yeah, your right. Still, you never know when I might need extra power."
"Well if you're that desperately in need of power then I suppose you could give it a try," Izuku said. "At the very least the explosion that would come from your body would probably take out anything in its way."
Mirio and Nejire laughed while Izuku just looked at them blankly.
"I wasn't joking," Izuku muttered.
Back to the present.
It was pretty ironic in hindsight. Hearing Izuku warn against recklessness and blowing yourself up.
But now, Mirio had one last idea.
He flew up, above the clouds to get as much sunlight as he could.
Nine saw Mirio retreating and wondered if he should try and go for the castle. However, he remembered that whenever the Justice League left him alone for a moment, it was typically to launch some sort of bullshit attack at him.
Instead, Nine followed Mirio above the clouds and high into the sky. Where he saw the hero just floating there, looking directly at the sun.
What is he doing? Nine wondered. He activated his scanning quirk to see what exactly Mirio was up to.
He saw that power was storing up in his head like he usually did whenever he used his heat vision. But he just kept gathering energy for a while, not shooting it out or even aiming at Nine.
Should I just make the barriers now or should I wait to see what direction the attack will come from first. Nine wondered. He had no idea what Mirio was doing, and it was honestly making him nervous. Then he saw something new.
The power that was gathering in his head suddenly started spreading down. Traveling from his head to his neck, to his torso.
Mirio's eyes turned from red to blue, as the heat increased in power and temperature.
His whole body felt hot, his blood boiled from the intense heat. Mirio grit his teeth as he endured extreme pain. "Come on! More power!"
As the heat spread from head to toe, he felt something. His power was increasing, his body was encompassed in blue flames and lighting.
"One For All! BLAZING COWL! INFINITE! POWER!" Mirio shouted as he exploded with power.
"Oh no." Nine said, already making a barrier in front of him.
Before Nine could even make a second barrier, Mirio's fist was planted in his face, sending him flying back.
Before the villain could even recover, Mirio was already right under him and kicked him even higher into the sky.
Nine recovered mid-air, and made a portal in front of him, hoping Mirio would dash through it.
"Not gonna work!" Mirio was already behind him, moving at speeds so fast Nine couldn't even see him.
Mirio punched the back of Nine's head, before dashing in front of Nine and uppercutting him in the gut.
Mirio's speed and strength increased with each second, and he used that power to rapidly attack Nine. Knocking him across the sky like a ping pong ball.
But as Mirio's power grew, so did his pain. His body could barely handle going beyond 100%. And this was far worse, he felt like an egg in the microwave. Ready to explode any second.
I can't keep this up for long. I need to finish this, with one last attack. Mirio thought.
Mirio stopped his assault and tried to focus all of his power into his right arm.
Nine recovered, and after using his scanning quirk he figured out what Mirio was trying to do. He put up as many barriers as he could, going from dozens to even over a hundred barriers
Mirio smiled confidently, despite the pain, as the blue aura and electricity pooled in his arm. "Put up as many barriers as you want Nine. I will smash through any barrier, any limit. And go beyond!"
Mirio cocked his arm back, before charging forward. "PLUS ULTRA!"
In less than a second, Mirio's fist broke through all the barriers and hit Nine dead on.
Moments ago, at the castle.
Momo was fixing up the scan quirk jammer, while everyone else looked on at the raging that was happening in the distance. No one could really see what was happening, apart from a few explosions. Iida was holding Katsuma and Eri. Ready to make a run for it if need be.
"You think Mirio can win?" Jiro asked.
"I don't know," Momo said. "If Nine didn't have any Venom then Mirio would have been able to take him down no problem."
"Why didn't we just give Mirio the Venom again?" Jiro asked.
"Because it doesn't work," Momo explained. "According to Cadmus's research, using Venom of One for all is completely ineffective. It's as if the quirk itself rejects it."
"That explains why you didn't try it when Doomsday attacked," Jiro said.
Momo managed to get the generator working once more. "Red Hood."
Red Hood turned away from the fight and looked at Momo. "Is it time?"
Momo looked at the vail of Slice's blood that Tokoyami had given her. "Yes. She is in position."
Red Hood took the vial, taking a real good look at it, before running off out of sight.
BOOM!
A brilliant blue light erupted in the sky, resembling a blue sun exploding in the sky. Signaling Mirio's final attack.
Everyone looked away and tried to hold on, as the intense winds from the explosion blew through the castle.
Once the explosion died down, everyone looked at the place where the explosion came from. And found that the fighting had seemingly stopped.
"Everyone get into place. Be alert." Momo said.
Everyone stood on guard, looking at all angles for any possible surprise attack.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a portal opened up in front of the heroes and Nine stepped out.
Nine was butt naked and covered in bruises and cuts. His face was bloodied and the place where Mirio had punched him had swelled a lot. Purple veins were growing all over his body as his cellular degeneration was getting worse and worse.
"Nine," Momo said. "You have one chance to surrender."
Nine's body hurt. Simply staying up was taking a lot of will. But he saw the child in front of him. And he was going to push forward if it killed him.
Nine raised his arm at Momo, and that was the signal to show that he wasn't going to surrender.
Then, hair came out of the rubble and grabbed all of the heroes.
Nine's eyes widened, as he immediately recognized the hair. "Slice."
Slice came around the rubble and ran up to Nine. "Nine!"
She ran up to him with a concerned look on her face. "We need to get you the kid right now!"
If Nine hadn't gotten punched in the face with the force of a nuclear bomb, he might have realized that there was something fishy about this. But right now, in this state, he was just relieved.
Slice moved her hair, bringing Iida, who was holding Katsuma, closer to Nine.
Nine raised his hand as the boy got closer to him, and prepared to use All for one.
And at that moment, that poor fool lowered his guard.
Thunk!
Nine felt something enter a wound on his neck, and something be injected into him.
He reached around and pulled something out of his neck. It was a syringe arrow.
The villain looked behind him and saw Huntress standing there smirking at him.
He then immediately doubled over in pain, the purple veins spreading over his body, faster than ever before.
"Slice" moved Iida and the kids away from Nine, giving the villain a pitiful look before letting the rest of the heroes go.
Nine gave her a betrayed look, before realizing that this definitely was not Slice. "Red...Hood?"
"Yup." The fake slice confirmed.
Red Hood, Aka, Red Hood. Quirk: Transform. The exact same quirk as Himiko Toga.
"That was reverse venom," Momo said. "Whereas Venom increases a quirk power and mitigates negative effects. This heavily amplifies a quirk's negative effects. We'll give you one last chance. If you keep fighting you will die. Stop."
Nine raised his arm towards Momo and fired off some finger lasers.
Momo made a mirror and reflected the beam back at Nine, hitting him in the chest.
Nine fell to the floor. The purple veins overtaking him as he started to succumb to his injuries.
Nine closed his eyes. Never to open them again.
After a few moments passed, Ashido asked. "Is he…"
"Dead." Red Hood said, her disguise melting off of her.
It was over. It was finally over.
A few days later.
After the long-fought battle. It was all over.
The other villains were taken into custody, and Nine's body was dissected and then burned.
Mirio had been found floating in the water, with one arm missing and most of his skin burnt. But he was alive, and that was all that was needed for Eri to bring him back to full health.
Everyone else who had been injured was healed by Eri as well, who was promptly celebrated like the saint she is.
Helena had gotten away, mostly due to the fact that none of the heroes felt like fighting her at that particular moment.
And the heroes decided to leave the island, after apologizing to the residents about blowing up so much of their island.
Now they were attending a party at the Hall of Justice. Where the heroes were taking a well-deserved celebration of their victory.
But while many of them were inside partying, Momo was standing on the balcony with a drink in her hands and a sad look on her face.
"Hey!" Mirio walked up to her, a forced smile adorning his face. "What are you doing all the way out here! Your friends are inside!"
"Reveling in my failure." Momo sighed.
Mirio's smile dropped. "So you feel like you failed too."
"I literally did nothing in this fight except make poison while my friends got beat up," Momo said. "And then I gave that poison to a murderer, and had her use it to kill someone."
Mirio gave her a pat on the back. "You wouldn't have been able to do much else when Nine was going all out. You did what you could."
Mirio frowned and took a sip of his drink. "Me on the other hand. I'm the most powerful person here. If I could have just endured blazing cowl a little longer, my last attack could have gotten strong enough to knock out Nine."
"Or you would have exploded. Killing Nine and yourself. Ending the line of One for all and leaving us with one less powerful ally in a time of chaotic change." Momo said. "You did what you could. Even your power has limits."
"Well, that's half true," Mirio said. Truth is that his power was theoretically infinite using blazing cowl. It was just a matter of how much his body could endure. "We live in scary times Momo. New villains constantly showing up with power beyond anything we've seen before. And more and more heroes are dying than ever before."
"It's exactly what Izuku said it was going to be after All Might left," Momo noted. "Bane was the worst of it. But the chaos hasn't ended."
The two of them stood in silence for a moment, before Mirio shook his head, and smiled again. "I guess we'll all have to work harder. And keep smiling. It's what he would want us to do."
Momo looked up at the night sky. "Probably. Yeah."
It's done! This side story is done. But before we go, I'm gonna answer some questions you guys might have.
Q: Why did you give Tamaki, Nejire, Bakugo and (in this story) Todoroki Venom.
A: One, desperate times call for desperate measures. Two, when writing MHA fanfics, there is a consistent problem. The One for All problem. The problem is that if you have a fully capable One for All wielder in their prime, they will inherently be way too overpowered for the story. My solutions to this are Nomus, Venom, and geniuses as well as other things. Making the enemies capable enough to pose a threat. And if I make the enemies strong, you have to have a mix of strong heroes, creative use of quirks and strategy in order to beat them. So those four got a buff.
Q: Why would Bakugo use Venom? It seems out of character.
A: Desperation. Basically, there was a situation so dire, that Bakugo had to put his pride aside a little in order to topple it. What situation was that? Wait for it in the main story.
Q: How did the cold make it harder for Nine to control the weather?
A: From what I've heard, extreme cold makes it hard for thunderstorms to happen.
Q: What was up with that "Blasing Cowl" thing?
A: It was a reference to Deku's "Full Cowling" and Electric Blue Superman. Basically, Mirio turns the solar energy he uses to fire his heat vision, into power.
And that's it for now. Other questions like, How did Izuku die? What happened to Toga? What happened to Endeavor and All Might? What happened to Momo? Who is this new Red Hood? What exactly happened to Tensei? How did the Justice League form? Who else has died?
All of those will have to wait to show up in the main story.
Or. You could ask me in my Private Messages about it, and I'll tell you. I don't mind.
Anyway. That's all for this story, please review and have a nice day!
