Chapter 25: One Last Goodbye

Izuku: So, what do you want? Izumi.

Izumi: I didn't expect to see you here, teaming up with All for One.

Izuku: Huh? No, I'm here by coincidence. I don't like that guy either.

Izumi: Interesting. It doesn't matter to me either way, you are dying today.

Izumi said that line with no emotion or hesitation.

Izuku: Oh? I thought heroes don't kill.

Izumi: I made an exception for you and some others.

Izuku: Haiz, you know what, I was trying to save you for later, but I can't complain...when food comes to my plate.

Izuku activates his quirk as his eyes turn red. Izumi notices this as she immediately flies in the air at top speed.

Izumi takes the initiative by starting off using her passive telekinesis ability, which repels everything away from her. This ensures Izuku will always be arm's length away from her in case she can't react in time.

Izuku takes in a deep breath as he focuses on his stance. He gained a solid footing on the ground as he prepares to counter what Izumi throws at him.

Izumi: 100% Black Tornado!

She unleashed a giant storm of her combined move, black tornado from the sky. It grows larger and larger as it makes its way to Izuku, sucking all the debris around them.

Izuku: You gonna attack me with air?

Izuku spoke as he inhaled a puff of air and blew out the air with the same force like a small hurricane. The hurricane caused the tornado to lose its momentum as both of them dissipates.

Izumi was slightly shocked that her technique was so easily dismembered, but her resolve isn't brittle that it would crumble this fast.

Izumi: You have gotten stronger Izuku. Stronger than I anticipated.

Izuku: Save the sarcasm for hell.

Izumi: Tsk. You truly have become a monster haven't you.

Izuku: You can believe that if you want, in my eyes, all of you people are the real villains.

Izumi: Your former organisation has countless criminal records, from gang violence to straight up murder. You are trying to justify that?

Izuku: At least everyone in my organisation is equal. They are treated with respect no matter their quirks or background. The current society discriminated against every single one of them and treated them worse than dirt. They didn't get to choose what quirk they were born with or which family to be born into, yet they suffer more than anyone else, how is that fair? Answer me, hero!

Izuku had enough of this as he launches himself into air, he jumps towards Izumi as he tries to punch her.

However, the telekinesis created a barrier that surrounded Izumi. Izuku bounced off the barrier as he got slightly shocked.

Izumi: Still hot headed as always huh. 100% spirit bomb!

Izumi was secretly gathering energy for the spirit bomb she had behind her back as she throws the sphere of light at the falling Izuku.

Izuku stares at the light directly as he focuses on his breathing. He closes his eyes as he lets his body relax.

Izuku: Lull.

Izuku slowly catches the spirit bomb with his hands as he uses the momentum to throw the spirit bomb back at Izumi.

Izumi: WHAT?

Izumi has never seen anyone sent her spirit bomb back at her. It should have been an impossible feat, redirecting that amount of concentrated energy. It would have required insane physical skills and upmost concentration as to not trigger it.

As the spirit bomb flies towards Izumi, she hurriedly dashed out of the way.

Izumi: Why are you so shit! Can't believe you are the 9th! Just die already. Unworthy.

The voice inside Izumi resonants again, this time stronger than ever and now full of insults towards Izumi.

Izumi: SHUTUP!

Izuku looks her in confusion due to the sudden unprovoked shout from her. However, this is the perfect opening to use.

He pulled an iron pipe from inside the ground as he charged again at the mid air Izumi. This time he concentrated his power into the iron pipe, strengthening it 100 fold.

Izuku: Take this.

Izumi: Huh?

Izuku slammed the iron rod onto Izumi's barrier as the force generated was enough to knock Izumi out of the air and onto the ground.

She crash landed onto the ground with only her weakened barrier protecting her from death.

The still mid air Izuku then threw the iron pipe like a javelin at Izumi. It connected as the iron pipe further weakened her barrier.

Izumi: ENOUGH!

Izumi stood up again as Izuku lands right in front of her.

Izumi: Ultimate attack...

Izumi focuses the power that lay dormant inside her body. Black and white energy begin to surround her entire body as her right half was covered in black and left half was covered in white.

The one thing that stood out was that her right eye had white energy and her left eye had black energy. If you look at it really close, you can see all her quirks combining into that one attack.

Izumi: I created this technique just for monsters like you, Izuku.

Izuku: Then let's see it.

Izumi: 200% One for All...Void!

All the energy that had surrounded Izumi begins to fuse into one single black and white ray as it shoots at incredible speed at Izuku.

Izuku: I guess I'll respond with my all.

Izuku hardens his stance as he rapidly increases his heart rate. Power flows into his limbs and body as blood flows out of his eyes.

Izuku: Calamity Core of Wrath!

Red energy begins to surround Izuku as he kicks off the ground, charging into Izumi's ray head first.

Both the ray and Izuku collide as the ray surrounds Izuku. However, he did not lose speed as he endures the ray and unleashes more of his red aura.

Izuku: AHHHHHH!

Izuku roars as he absorbs the black and white ray with his red energy.

Izumi: No way...

Izumi collapse onto the ground due to quirk overuse. She had exhausted all her energy in that one single attack.

However, Izuku also took significant damage as he takes a knee onto the ground. He coughs up some blood onto his palm as his eyes stop bleeding.

Izuku: Giving up? If you surrender now, I'll make sure you die in one piece. So there is still something for the funeral.

Izumi: YOU SCUM! WHY DID YOU HAD TO BECOME A VILLAIN? SOCIETY BECAME SO MUCH WORSE BECAUSE OF YOU! ITS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!

Although Izumi collapsed, she still has the energy to shout at Izuku.

Izuku: Yeah I'm sick of this.

Izuku dashed forward as he wind up for a punch.

Izumi has been overpowered by Izuku as she lies on the ground. Izumi was now near the verge of death.
Her ribs were shattered and organs were damaged.

Izuku: I expected more you know, but if this is all you got, I'll end you now.

Izumi: Can't die...can't...die...

Izuku: Yeah but now you will.

Izumi closes her eyes as her determination wavers in front of this scene. They say the moment before you die will feel like an eternity, she wonder if it is true.

Scene change to ???

The land is black, full of mist with nothing in sight. It was horrifying quiet, and eerie feelings did not escape the air.

Izumi: Huh? Where am I? Am I dead?

Shadows suddenly appear infront of the confused Izumi as a room begin to form around them. The shadow figures all sat on a chair, all except one.

One of the shadow was locked up in what looks like a jail cell. That shadow in particular felt awfully close to someone Izumi knew.

Shadow 3: So, you have arrived.

Shadow 5: Indeed she have.

Izumi: Huh who are you people?

Shadow 4: Hor this little fucker seems to be confused.

The 4th shadow seemed to want to attack Izumi on sight as he provokes her.

Shadow 3: shush 4th. 9th, we are the previous consciousness of the holder of OfA.

Izumi: Consciousness or previous holders? What do you people want?

Shadow 5: We will be taking back OfA.

Izumi: Huh?

Shadow 1: You are unworthy to call yourself a hero.

Izumi: Wait what? I've saved many.

Shadow 2: And have killed equally as much.

Izumi: How did you know?

Shadow 3: We see what you see.

Shadow 4: We hear what you hear.

Shadow 5: We feel what you feel.

The landscape around Izumi begins to change as the room disappears. Izumi was scared. She couldn't feel her powers anymore, neither can she move.

Shadow 6: Now you will be locked up in this place.

Shadow 7: And like the 8th, your soul will be cast away for your sins.

Izumi finally realised.

The 8th shadow who is in the jail cell is All Might.

Shadow 1: And you will give us back our power.

Darkened chains appear from the ground as they attach to Izumi. Her limbs unable to move as she kneeled.

Izumi: FUCK OFF! GO AWAY YOU DEMONS!

Shadow 1 walks up to Izumi as he puts his hand into her chest.

Izumi: AHHHHHH!

The pain envelops Izumi as the shadow keeps digging his hand deeper and deeper. The sensation was as if someone was actively ripping her soul out.

Shadow 1: There it is.

The shadow rips out a ball of light inside Izumi as Izumi dry coughs. Her eyes begin to blur as her ears begins to deafen.

Izumi's conscious slowly fades as the last thing she sees is the 7 shadows coming together before her soul faded away.

Izumi Yagi has fallen.

Scene change to Izuku

Izuku was standing over the defeated Izumi. Her chest had been crushed by Izuku as he had put his fist through her heart.

With his fist bloodied, he sat beside of the corpse of his once sister.

Unexpectedly, he shedded a tear.

Was it due to regret? Or grief? Was the tear even for her in the first place? Izuku did not know.

He didn't feel sad or angry. He just shed an emotionless tear.

Izuku: I know it isn't my place to say this but, I wish you are happy in hell.

He walks away once again, to find Hitoshi and the rest.

Scene change to Nezu

Heroes flood Deika city as some prepare for rescue mission while others are in charged of helping the rescuers.

Each team is split into groups to ensure they rescue as many as possible.

Nezu was planning everything on his headset to communicate the plan to the rest.

Random Hero: This is Charlie-2 to Nezu, we have found a UA student in the rubble, he is in critical condition, requesting additional medical support.

Nezu: Got it, Alpha-2, go to zone 12.25.

Nezu: Thank god someone is still alive.

Nezu: Alright, continue your efforts, we have to save more people.
