Quirk God Leonidus! A Final Battle Arises! (Part 3 of 5)

*THIRD PERSON*

(I.R.P.: Listen to "Fukushu no hi ~Hon'no Vs. Hon'no~" by MajinBlue)

The pillar of Overdrive finally settled; the land grew quiet as the sun began to shine from the dissipated clouds. Birds chirped and the river began to flow once more. Everyone stared at Alyx, his eyes were firmly fixed on Doe Setsuko, they bore a hatred that nobody has ever seen from him before. Steam rose off of his body as his clenched fists slightly trembled. He closed his eyes and the memories of his friends and Amatsu Mikaboshi ran through his mind once more. Doe Setsuko stumbled up to her feet as the other heroes separated. The steam around Alyx began to increase as he continued to think. He slowly moved his head down before shooting it back upwards. His scar was pouring out a tremendous amount of Overdrive! Doe stumbled backwards out of fear and shock at what she saw.

"HRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHAAAHH!!!!" Alyx roared.

The aura of his Overdrive was glowing the brightest it ever has! The surrounding areas shook and rumbled from this outward display of godly power! Alyx slowly walked forward towards Setsuko, she fired off dozens of Rivet Stab tendrils, but they went right through Alyx! They didn't affect him at all as he continued to walk towards her. She froze in place out of terror as he finally made his way to her. With only one finger, he pressed it quickly against Doe's forehead, it separated Fa and Mee from her! The two girls looked at each other and smiled as they realized their freedom. Fa and Mee quickly moved behind Alyx as Doe continued to stare at him.

With the slightest flick to her forehead, the pressure not only sent Setsuko flying into the air, but the entire area of ground uprooting and exposed the lava and hot magma from underneath. Alyx appeared in front of Setsuko and hammered down on her with a Dorarara Rush! Within a couple of seconds, Alyx's arms were able to move so fast, that he had punched her well over one million times! His last punch sent her burrowing down into the lava below, scorching her hair and skin. She tried to move forward but Alyx followed her in, fiercely elbowing her in the jaw, completely unhinging it! He slammed his fist back into her jaw, shattering the entire bone structure! The fist sent lava high into the air before it came crashing back down onto them. He grabbed Setsuko by the hair and dragged her up towards the surface. He swung her over his shoulder and slammed her down onto the ground.

He continued his vicious assault by wrapping an Overdrive Whip around her neck and spinning around and around. His spinning reached speeds well over Mach 5, and afterimage of Alyx stepped in, placing a deadly kick right to her sternum. It completely shattered every bone in Setsuko's upper body, she became a mangled mess of exposed bone and blood. Alyx grabbed her head and repeatedly rammed it into the ground. Although he knew it wasn't going to kill her, he knew that she would be feeling every single bit of this. He stomped his foot down onto her face as he pulled the back of her hair.

"How does it feel... Doe Setsuko...? This pain... Is it worse than death?" Alyx's voice echoed.

Tears of fear flowed down her face, "P-Please... S-Stop... Y-You... Y-You're a hero... You aren't... Supposed to do things... Like this..."

He pulled tighter on her hair and pushed his foot down a bit further, causing her to scream out in pain once more.

"You took... So much from me... In so little time... I cannot let that be forgiven." Alyx replied.

He held her up by her hair, he reeled his fist back and shoved it right through her stomach, a menacing grin fell over his face as she screamed out in agony. He reeled back his bloodied arm and looked down at it. The blood had soaked into his arm, almost as if it wasn't there in the first place! He started to lightly chuckle before it began to slowly turn into a bone chilling cackle. His Overdrive aura fiercely blew winds around behind him, everyone didn't even notice the fact that their injuries were healed completely!

"A-Alyx... Are you..." Momo tried to ask.

His head snapped to the left, "STAY OUT OF THIS, MOMO!"

His words caused Yaoyorozu to let out a small surprised gasp. But in his eyes, she could tell that he meant no harshness by those words, he was trying to protect her from harm. He faced Setsuko once more with a psychotic grin returning to him.

"Oh? You're healing back up? Good... Now we can get started again, doesn't that sound like fun? You being my personal play toy... That is fun... Hearing you plead to God for mercy, when he's standing right in front of you, it's adorable." Alyx grinned.

As Setsuko healed back up, she launched a punch straight towards Alyx's now glowing face, her hand instantly broke as it made contact with him.

(I.R.P.: Listen to FalKKonE's cover of "Birth of a Wish/Become as Gods" from RE: NieR: Automata or "Bad Apple!!!")

Alyx grabbed her throat and squeezed it. He sent a violent shock of Overdrive straight into her head! She shrieked in pain as the shock became more and more intense. He reeled his arm back and slammed her into the ground. Leonidus began to pummel her with hundreds of Stardust Shoot beams! Everyone watched on in pure horror as they finally saw Alyx's true rage and state of mind.

"Y-You think that Mikaboshi was trying to protect us from him, instead of the other way around?" Kaminari wondered.

"I was just thinking the same thing, Kaminari." Bakugo shuddered.

Alyx slammed a Supernova Fist into Doe's jaw, shattering it completely once again. He then punched her in the stomach, sending a gust of air through, which snapped her spine in half! Alyx tossed her aside and watched as she tried to crawl away. He slowly walked over to her with a sinister smile on his face.

"Aww... Trying to run? I thought you wanted this? Don't tell me poor baby Setsuko's scared now, that'd be horrible! As a hero in training, I'm supposed to aid those that are scared, you know." Alyx smirked.

He approached her, one stomp onto her left leg broke it into pieces. Alyx looked over at the bubbling lava and grinned at it. He grabbed Setsuko by her hair and pulled her over towards it. Black smoke rose from her mouth once more.

"Leonidus, y-you... You are nothing but a villain, just like me!" All For One remarked.

"Just like you? No... I'm BEYOND you!" He cackled.

He created an Overdrive Whip and tightly wrapped it around her neck, Leonidus began stomping on Setsuko's back, submerging her head into the lava.

"YOU WANTED THIS, RIGHT?! HOW'S IT FEEL?! TELL ME! TELL ME!" Alyx shouted.

He submerged Setsuko's head back into the lava and held it there, Alyx lifted it back up and chucked her away from him. He restored the area that was there beforehand and returned his attention to Setsuko. Annie ran over to him and grabbed his arm.

"A-Alyx! You have her down! We can-" Annie tried to say.

He slowly turned his head over and glared at her. Annie let go of her brother's arm and stumbled backwards. Alyx held one of his hands out, a bright blue ball of energy began to form in his palm.

"Fuck you." Alyx muttered.

A huge blast sent Doe flying! Alyx appeared several feet behind her and fired off another blast that met with the one he fired previously. The resulting explosion created a mushroom cloud that nearly went up to the stratosphere! He flew up into the air and put his hands to his side.

"Ka... Me... Ha... Me..." He mumbled.

Annie saw the attack charge up in his hands, "EVERYONE! GET OVER HERE NOW!!"

Everyone rushed over to Annie, Kariya finally regained consciousness and wondered what was going on.

"Just help me out with this shield!" Annie snapped.

Kariya nodded and assisted Annie with a force shield that covered them all.

"HAAAA!!!" Alyx's voice thundered.

His Kamehameha blast quickly reached Setsuko. All she could do was stare at it before it impacted, causing a huge blast of Overdrive energy to cover the outskirts of Morioh completely! The land was completely stripped of grass and few trees were still standing. Steam billowed from Alyx's hands as the glow from his Quirk God form slowly disappeared. His hair fell to its normal state, he started to fall out of the sky as he lost consciousness. Annie entered Gear Five and rushed over to him, catching him before he hit the ground, Annie looked down at Alyx.

"What in the fuck was that... Alyx?" She thought to herself.

Annie brought Alyx to the others, everyone gathered around him, they saw that the left eye scar he had was in the shape of a rose! It bore the same color as the petals of a rose.

"Is it over? Did we win?" Sero asked.

Annie looked over towards Setsuko's location, "No, I can still feel her Heat Energy, she's definitely weakened now."

"That she should be, when Alyx put his arm through her, it was laced with wisteria oil. That's why her blood quickly evaporated off of his arm." Momo spoke up.

"Alright, atta girl, Creati! We need to hurry up and get ready, who knows when Setsuko will be barreling back to us!" Annie smiled.

In the Seventh Plane, Alyx woke up in front of his Father, Chiyoko, and his other relatives. His Father was using the full power of Infinite Mode, the same with everyone else.

"Alyx, my son, you've made me prouder than what you could ever know. You've reached a level I never thought you would." His Father smiled.

Alyx looked down at the ground and smiled, "Thank you... Father."

"But you still have one more thing to reach. That, being 100% of Infinite Mode, my son." He continued.

"1-100%? But... But I've tried it before and I nearly died." He fretted.

"That's because you weren't ready for it! After what we just saw, you're more than ready for it, Alyx. Go on, let it flow through you." Chiyoko told him.

Alyx nodded as he stood up straight. He let the feeling of Infinite Mode wash over him. He tightened his fists and slightly furrowed his eyebrows as he upped to 100%. He opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.

"I... I'm controlling it! I'm doing it, Dad!" Alyx beamed.

"Incredible! Now, keep it up! Use that power to protect your friends! Don't be scared of taking risks, Alyx, always remember that." His Father grinned back.

Back in the real world, Setsuko had torn off towards Alyx and the other heroes. Her eyes were seething with blistering rage as she raced back to fight. Annie met her and ran an Overdrive Fist right into her face! The two began to strike at each other back and forth, Kariya joined in to help out Annie, the two siblings started to overwhelm her! Momo tried to treat Alyx's wounds with the things she had at her disposal.

"Creati, can you handle it here by yourself? We're going to try and use that oil to weaken her some more." Endeavor asked.

"That I can, just get the job done!" Momo nodded.

Endeavor charged into battle, leaving Momo alone with Alyx, she looked down at him and combed her fingers through his hair.

"Please... Wake up..." She whispered.

A loud boom was heard coming towards them! Momo quickly looked to her right and saw Setsuko barreling towards the two! Kirishima stepped in front of Yaoyorozu and Leonidus, blocking the dozens of fists Setsuko was throwing.

(I.R.P.: Listen to "Red Riot" from My Hero Academia)

"K-Kirishima!" Momo exclaimed.

He kept his guard up as Doe unloaded a barrage of punches. He kept his feet firmly planted on the ground. He kept hardening himself as Setsuko broke through his Quirk. Each time, the layers got stronger and stronger, much like his own resolve!

"If I unharden... If I let Setsuko get through me... Then we're done for! Alyx, you're the only person who can stop her, that much I know. So, I'm not letting her get through me! No matter how bad my body hurts, how much pain my Quirk causes me, I won't quit! You've protected us so many times before, I want to return the favor to you, my friend. You've shown me how strong your resolve is, you've told me that I inspired you, if that's the case... Then you've inspired me to protect others, no matter what stands in my way! Alyx Leonidus, you're the greatest goddamn person I've ever met!" Kirishima thought to himself.

Kirishima opened his eyes and found an opening! He rammed his fist into Setsuko's face, sending her flying into a nearby rock formation! He panted heavily as he unhardened himself.

"A-Are you guys... Alright?" He questioned.

"Yes... Thank you, thank you so much, Kirishima." Momo replied.

The rock formation collapsed on itself, Doe pushed aside pieces of rock in order to free herself, the sky above her began to become dark. She looked up and saw Izuku with a fearsome look on his face, using his Blackwhip, he hurled a boulder straight into Setsuko! Katsuki came flying by from behind him and launched the boulder into a hill with a mighty explosion, crushing Doe in the process! The boulder shattered in half as Doe exploded out of it! She charged directly towards Bakugo, swatting him into the ground, then made her way towards Izuku. He quickly dodged a strike from her, landing a blow of his own, knocking her backwards.

Bakugo rebounded and darted straight up to her, he appeared in front of Setsuko and pulled the pin on his right gauntlet. An immensely powerful explosion ravaged Doe and burrowed her into the ground. The two landed down onto the ground as the smoke started to clear.

"Where...Where'd she go?" Izuku wondered.

The two stood back-to-back as more Pro Heroes began to surround the area. They looked around them, unsure where she could have even moved to, that's when both of them looked upwards. Setsuko was flying down towards them, both of her arms were enlarged and generating a dark energy! The two quickly jumped out of the way as she sailed into the ground with a loud boom! Meanwhile, Leonidus was slowly starting to wake up, Momo smiled with delight.

"Mo... Mo...? What... What's going on?" Alyx wondered.

She quickly moved over to him and gave him a hug, "Thank goodness! You managed to weaken Setsuko, what exactly was that thing that you did?"

"Huh? Y-You mean... That Quirk God thing?" Alyx replied.

"Quirk God? Wait, you're a..." Momo's eyes widened.

Alyx closed one of his eyes and smiled, "Yeah, trust me, I didn't believe it at first either. I guess that's why I've been seeing all of those people in my dreams."

"Good grief..." Momo sighed.

"Do that again, that was pretty hot." Alyx chuckled.

Momo kissed him and shook her head, "Can you stand?"

Alyx tried to but the Quirk God form took everything he had, not to mention the internal injuries he suffered from. At the battlefield, Izuku was about to get pierced by Setsuko's Rivet Stab tendrils. In the blink of an eye, a gust of wind knocked him flat on his back, the tendrils impacted the rocks behind him. Izuku looked up and saw...

"H-HAWKS!!" He screamed.

Hawks gave him a sly smile as blood dripped down his mouth. His arms fell down to his side.

"I-Izuku... Midoriya... That O-One... For All Quirk... It can't be seen again if you die... So... I had to do what... I had to do... Tell Alyx... Annie... That I love them..." He let off a smile.

The tendrils retracted out of him violently, Hawks fell backwards into Izuku's arms. Tokoyami made his way to Izuku as he wondered why he fell to his knees. He stopped dead in his tracks as he seen Hawks, lying dead on Izuku's lap.
