Chapter : 42 Whatever it takes

(MC POV)

"Fuck..this is not working." I cursed under my breath as I stare at the red devil villain infront of me, he was scuffed with some wounds but he was mostly fine.

I was in better condition, as things are going, I would surely win but I have no time to drag out this battle.

It seems like a long battle is favorable for me, reinforcement would inevitably come and the villains will be screwed on all sides when that happens but...

but the others.

.

This guys existence proved that my presence changed the cannon, I don't know by how much but it definitely did.

That means that everyone else was in danger, I could handle this guy because I am stronger but the others are not necessarily stronger than their cannon counterpart.

And I need to deal with the Nomu too..And it is still uncertain if All Might would come to take care of the Nomu or if he was even strong enough.

.

.

I have been putting my power on my ears to enhance my hearings and I have heard many explosions happening almost on every zone.

There is only one way. I need to stop holding back and go all out. No mercy.

'I need...to fucking kill this guy' I thought to myself as I allowed my power to flow through me.

My desire to kill the opponent infront of me fuel my power to be more potent and destructive in nature.

.

The villain doesn't look like a guy of pure evil. Maybe decent compared to other villains but...I cannot put my friends live in danger for the sake of mercy.

'I am not strong enough yet' Showing mercy was for the strong. I really need to grow stronger, way stronger.

"What? Getting tired already brat?" He chuckled as he crack his neck and did some stretches.

"Too bad, I could do this all day." He smirks as he looked at me with mocking eyes. His yellow eyes glowed dangerously.

.

I gathered a huge chunk of power on my right foot, circulating the power for sometime while the villain talk.

This time, I only used my power to enhance my body and did not produce any flames. I sunk my feet on the ground and shot forward, almost even faster than my previous speed.

*Boom*

'It seems like my emotion affected my power as a whole, not only my flames and explosion.' I made a mental note but thought no further as I already reached the villain.

I planted my feet on the ground, the ground cracked under my strength and I spun around to gather more force to my attack.

Spinning around, I gather all the momentum in my other leg and I delivered a back kick at his chest.

He was caught off guard, he did not know that I could do such feat without my explosion and I used that to my full advantage.

The air shifted because of the impact and I felt his ribs break and cave in. He was about to be blown away by the force but I grab both his feet before he did so.

I turn my body and I slammed his huge body on the ground, a crater was formed because of the force as he laid there, stunned.

.

.

I summon all the power I could in my right leg, I moved forward and execute a hammer kick. I brought my foot up and slam it down right at the head of the villain, burying his head deep inside the earth.

*Boom!!* *Crack*

The earth surrounding the impact tore apart and a cobweb appeared on the ground. I broke both his horns that were around 30 cm long.

.

.

!!!

.

"Argh" I grunted in pain as the villains hand grab my ankle. It freaked me out how he was still not dead or at least knocked out after that attack.

The air boiled because of the heat and his body produced a steady scorching steam from his body.

"Just die!!" I swatted my feet away from his graps. My anger spiked as the villain refused to go down like the cannon fodder he was.

My friends could be in danger and die because of this villain's persistence. I would rather kill a 1000 villains to stop the death of 1 innocent.

I shifted my body and launch a punch on the villain. My attack hit something as the ground quake under the force of my punch.

Dust cleared and I found that my fist was blocked by his right palm. His eye burning with untold rage and his killing intent leaked out.

.

*Inhale* His cheeks puffed as he inhaled a huge amount of air before spewing out flames from his mouth.

The attack hit me right at my chest as I was blown away from the force. I flipped in the air and landed without a problem. I had a very high heat resistance which can be increased to the point that heat no longer affects me with my power.

The villain slowly stood up his broken horn was bleeding and so was his nose. His eye burned with firey yellow and his intense eyes bore on me.

Then he got distracted and he looks like he is listening to something. My guess was proven to be correct as he spoke "...Roger.".

A look of hesitance flashed before that was swept away by selfish determination.

Then he focused on me again, his whole demeanor changed and I gazed at his eyes that now held no hesitation.

"Sorry, but this is where you die." he announced as both his arms were set ablaze. The air around flicker because of the intensity.

.

.

Then we both rushed at each other again, but this time we both held no more hesition in our attack. It was a battle to the death where either he dies or I do.

We both fight for a reason, I can see it in his eyes that he was not doing this for money, or some sick pleasure.

He was fighting for something/someone, just like me..

We were both prepared to do anything to accomplish that.

There were no more the hero or the villain...The good one or the bad one.

.

.

Just two people with different things to fight for..I fight to protect and he for someting just as noble to him.

.

But our path clashed, there was no other path. Its either I remove him or he remove me to move forward.

.

.

We both were determined. Fighting for what we wanted.

.

.

Our attack meet once more and the sound of utter devastation resounded the place.

.

.

.

.

Whatever it takes.

"I jacked off twice last night and took a really clean dump this morning so they should be stuck together all day." Mineta assured them as he was dragged ashore by Tsuyu.

Midoriya also came ashore, following right behind them.

"Ew." Tsuyu remarked as she yanked the little horny ball on the beach.

.

"What should we do now?" Tsuyu asked Midoriya, tilting her head slightly.

"Our first priority is to join the main group again, they seperated us for a reason. We should follow the shoreline and join back the others in the plaza. Or if they are also seperated we will go to Aizawa sensei." Midoriya gave his thoughts.

"Go to Aizawa sensei?" Mineta asked, a bit fearful of the notion since he just escaped from villains. Rushing towards a group of another villains doesn't seem too attractive to him.

"I don't mean we dive in to fight, but we will look for opening, Aizawa sensi jump in to protect us even though the situation was all to his disadvantage, I want to lessen his load of I could." Midoriya assured Mineta.

"What about the others?" Tsuyu asked "And Bakugo too"

.

.

Midoriya stayed silent for a while before answering "The others will come to the plaza too if they can, we can gather there again and think of the next steps..And I am not worrried about Bakugo, he is the strongest among us."

"Fine by me then Mdoriya"

The three students slowly made their way by the shoreline, their destination being the plaza where Aizawa fought the groups of villains.

"Divide and conquer huh?" A voice rang out in the cold man made iceland. Many villains were frozen in place, the cold penetrating thier skin and bringing unimaginable pain.

"Forgive me for saying this but its hard to take you weaklings seriously." Todoroki spoke, his tone flat and indifferent. It felt like he was speaking facts rather than insults...which made the insult more insulting.

.

"Fuck...is he really just a kid." One villain spoke with his teeth gritted. The biting cold slowly numb thier mind as they felt vivid and dizzy.

"Don't look down on us Kid!!" One villain with a heat quirk rushed towards Todoroki, who just step towards the incomming villain. His feet produced chilling frost as the ground became ice and rushed towards the villain.

*Swoosh* *Chill~*

The villain was instantly covered by huge layer of ice. It buried him in its deepest depth where the cold slowly killed him.

"If you stayed like this any longer your skin will rot away due to frostbite, and thats not very hero like so I will ask you this, don't try to stay awake. Just go to sleep." Todoroki told them as he walked past all the villains and watch over them.

.

.

The villains feel the pain of their skin rotting away. They grunt in torment and regret ever comming here.

The pain slowly chip away at their sanity as their mind became stagnant, unable to even think.

Then darkness slowly came and swallowed their consciousness. They did not black out instantly but rather, they were slowly dragged into the darkness.

Until they fall on the ground, unconscious.

.

.

.

Todoroki watched as the villains were knocked down one by one...Then he made his way towards the plaza

"Huff...huff.." Kirishima's bloody body stood on top of the fallen villain. The villain had broken teeth and dislocated jaws.

Kirishima's body was bathed in his own blood, his spiky red hair, coupled with his blood decorated blood, painted a rather scary image.

He was exhausted beyond words, his injuries were not too lethal. His blood was hot and the adrenalin made him bleed more. Even from simple cuts, blood oozed out like a river.

"Kirishima!!" Ojiro came running towards him. He had also finished the weaker villains. His steps were a bit awkward but that did not stop him.

Kirishima's body turned and he showed this strained smile that showed his exhaustion but was overshadowed by his determination.

"I'm fine!! I am not too hurt." He tried to assure his worring friend, but that waa nothing but hot air as the next instant he fell on the ground.

"You look more dead than alive." Ojiro came to his side and help the hero up. Putting Kirishima's hand over his shoulder, he support him as they stood up.

"But I am more alive than dead." He gives a thumbs up as he said that.

Ojiro just sighs "I swear you are completely crazy" He shake his head as Kirishima just smiled.

"But, thank you for saving me..truly" Ojiro spoke with gratitude. He did not even want to imagine what would happen if he did not came to help him.

"Well thats what men's do!!"

"No thats what heroes do." Ojiro added.

Kirishima widened his eyes for a brief moment. His pupil shook as he processed his words.

Then proud, satisfied smile tug on his lips. The smile was silent but spoke in volumes.

He was tired, injured and his arms feel like they were submerged in lava. But those were forgotten because of the budding contentment in his heart, and the boulder that seems to be lifted from his soul.

.

.

'I moved.' He thought to himself before exhaustion finally catch up to him and darkness swallowed him.

.

.

"Hey. HEY!! Kirishima!!" Ojiro yelled in panic as he felt his friend's body going limp.

He laid him on the ground and shake him roghly in hopes of waking him up.

"Hey!!! Wake up damnit!!" He lightly slapped Kirishima's cheeks.

.

Panic clouded his mind...

Fear gripped his heart..

.

'Nonononono.NO!! It can be' He was starting to tear up as different emotions welled up inside him.

"No...please don't-" *snore*

It was like cold water splashed over him, washing away all his current emotions..

"*zzzzz*" Kirishima slept like a log..

.

.

"Haa.." Ojiro sighed and just smiled lightly..Maybe the fatigued finally got to him, making him overthink the situation.

He sat down and took a rest next to Kirishima. Making sure to stay alert for another villain ambush but that seems unlikely.

.

.

"Bakugo was right though..haha" he chuckled as he finally got a moment of peace.
