Chapter 65 : Deluded Cause

After 10 minutes finally, the big guns arrive. Miruko turned to them barely winded with a light sweat and a smile on her face.

"Finally, you came out of your foxholes."

The final vanguard consisted of two people, a man and a woman. The man's quirk was empowerment via the suffering of those around him and considering the veritable pile of bodies he should be pretty strong while the woman's quirk was air density manipulation which was pretty simple but seeing as she came out last she must have a good grasp of it's capabilities.

The man rushed forward and punched the ground destroying the asphalt. The ground cracked and turned jagged and uneven making it difficult to get good footing as the floor could easily give making movement less effective. Miruko jumped away but she seemed to hit a ceiling in the air making her fall priming her for the punch to the side which sent her through a wall into a nearby building.

"How'd you like that mutant?"

Miruko leaps out of the hole with a kick aimed at the man but she feels her feet land on a surface mid-flight so she kicks off of it and lands on the ground.

"I think you're going soft on me. Does my appearance bother you so much?"

"Shut up Freak! You should not have used such temptation to corrupt the pure."

"So you do find me alluring. Then stop holding back and fight me like a man!"

Miruko disappeared making the villains look around to pinpoint her location but it was too late as Miruko appeared above the man.

"Luna Collapse!"

The kick landed on the villain's shoulder and caused a large shockwave sending the villain into the ground destroying the road and smashing the windows on the buildings around them. The dust kicked up by the attack cleared and in the middle of the road was a large crater with the male villain pressed down by Miruko in it embedded in the dirt and stone. The villain tried to move their arms to strike at Miruko but she restrained both of his arms by standing on them.

Now above the villain Miruko bends back a bit then forward and slams her head against the villain's finally making the man pass out. Invincible got a great angle of the move which embarrassed him making him look away until Miruko stood back up. Miruko with a smile, looked up to the the female villain floating in the air with an air platform that was revealed as smoke and dust collided with it outlining it. The villain swung her arm at Miruko making an invisible slash cut through the dust.

Miruko dodged to the side as an air blade flew past her gouging a line on the ground. The villain continued to shoot air slashes at Miruko but she was too fast for any of them to land. Miruko did try to get close to the villain but an air platform would appear and get in her way.

After a few minutes, Miruko was getting frustrated and the villain looked tense. Occasionally looking around as if looking for something. Taking advantage of their distraction, Miruko tries to lunge toward the villain but she doesn't even get off the ground as a platform appears in her way. Recoiling from the bump, a stabbing sensation was felt in her calves. Looking down she sees a syringe stabbed into her calves by one of the unconscious villains she had defeated before.

A pulsing pain ran through her body making her fall to her knees as the the female villain floated down right in front of her.

"How does it feel Mutie? It's freeing isn't, it? You're now finally pure."

The voice she heard was more muffled than usual.

"What the hell... are you going on about?"

"You Mutants are stupider than I thought. Don't you recognise the syringe? The same one Invi was shot by in Tartarus."

Miruko reached up to her head and felt that her rabbit ears were gone. She then looked in her peripheral vision and saw her hair turning from white to a raven black.

"You're perfect for Invi now but without a quirk, someone like you could never keep up with him. Now that you're out of the running Invi can finally notice what he has been missing. I'll teach him to love what he will have with me. He might be sad about you not being there but what does he know? I can't wait to get close to him. I'll show him the charm of a real woman and he'll..."

The woman began to feel herself up with hearts in her eyes as she rubbed her thighs. She suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder so she turned around to see Invincible in all of his glory.

"Darling~ you're here. We have so much to-"

Invincible grabs her neck and lifts her off her feet.

"Didn't know you were into this. You've done this with her, haven't you? Don't worry I'm much bett- eugh."

The pressure around her neck tightens as she finally takes a good look at Invincible but he wasn't looking at her. Instead, he was looking at Miruko with his hand outstretched with a golden glow. Miruko suddenly felt her hearing clear and looked up to see Invincible who had a guilty look on his face. The villain was squirming in his hold looking angrily at the now healed Miruko.

"Sorry, you had to endure that."

"Why did you heal that bitch! I am perfect for you."

With struggling breaths the villain interrupted. Before she could continue to speak she felt an unbearable hunger come upon her as the pain around her neck increased exponentially.

"Did I anger you Invi? I was just speaking my mind."

Invincible looked back at the villain who expected him to answer her but he only looked at her with annoyance before she felt her mouth fuse shut. She started to panic, clawing at her now sealed mouth trying to cut it open. She tried to use her quirk but the familiar awareness of the air around her was gone.

Before she could try too long, her limbs bulge and burst into a mist of blood before collapsing back into her body. Her limbs were now gone and in their place were smooth areas where limbs once connected. Invincible dropped the now gaunt villain on the jagged floor face first and walked towards Miruko pulling her into a hug sitting on the floor of the crater.

"Izuku you didn't have to do that to her."

"Don't try to hide it Rumi. Even if you don't believe a single word out of that thing's mouth. It would still hurt to hear that."

Tears threatened to leak out of Rumi's eyes so Izuku tucked her head into his chest as the tears flowed. Izuku held her close and whispered as she let her feelings out. The villain on the ground writhe and squirm looking at the sight of her man with the mutant. The area around Izuku began to morph and move restoring the buildings and roads to what they once were. A clone leaks off of Izuku as he warps away leaving the clone to deal with the villains on the ground.
