Chapter 20
Nico
Toga charges, and I slam my hand on the ground, causing it to shake and crack, causing her to fall
"Fight me yourself you fucking coward!" I shout and he looks pissed
He charges at me in rage and I charge back
I aim the spear at him and he ducks and goes to touch my abdomen when he gets blasted back with blue flames
I look and Dabi has his arm stretched out as his flames disperse
"Nice shot Dabi!" I acknowledge and he smirks
"Told you I have your back" He says and suddenly he gets tackled
"You betrayed us." Mr. Compress says, and I run to help, I get thrown my back hitting the closest building
"I'm the one you should worry about brat" Shigiraki snaps and raises his hand and but Mr. Compress gets blasted into Shigiraki
I turn and see Katsuki smirking and Dabi standing next to him
"I thought I killed two birds with one stone." He says, and I grin and get up
He immediately ran and pulled me in kiss
My mind froze that second for the first time since I left. I felt myself at ease
Even if we were in the middle of a battlefield.
"You're a fucking idiot I hope you know that." He says leaning his head on me
"As long as I'm your idiot. But let's talk about this later." I say, and suddenly, someone wraps their arms around our shoulders
"Sorry to interrupt this beautiful moment, but we have a battle to finish." Percy said and I nod
Right. Focus.
I see Shigiraki getting up. I twirl the spear
"Everyone get away from me," I state, and they back up
I plunge the spear in the ground, and the ground crack open, and suddenly lightning strikes the spear
"Nico!" Hazel shouts, but Dabi stops her
"It isn't hurting him, look" He says and I barely my teeth
That's not entirely true. It stings like a bitch but it's bearable. I need this ground to open up wide enough for the building to fall in
I know for a fact this world has an underworld. I can sense it. I don't know if it has a version of my Dad in it but I still have power here.
And this building with all the Doctors years if science experiments and Nomus are going to Tartarus.
I see the ground spreading and I see Shigiraki look at me then the building
"Stop him! He's gonna sink the warehouse!" He shouts and Toga and twice run at me
"Keep them away from me!" I shout and Reyna and Ururaka attack Toga while Percy, Hazel, Todoroki, and Deku go for Twice
I see Aizawa has Compress captured and his quirk activated looking back and forth to Twice and Shigiraki
"Katsuki, Dabi! Shigiraki can't use his quirk. This is our chance!" I shout, and they charge at him
Shigiraki jumps back, dodging Katsukis blast, and Dabi shoots his blue flames
"I should have known you'd gone soft Dabi" Shigiraki snarled
The rest the class tried helping with the other fights. Aizawa trying keep Shigiraki and Twices quirks at bay knowing they were the most dangerous
Focus Nico you can't afford to be distracted
I concentrate as the building starts falling bit by bit
"Aizawa!" I hear and I turn and see Spinner attacking Aizawa and the teacher gets thrown against the wall
Wait no!
Shigiraki sees this and turns to me and smirks
He dodges Katsuki and makes a run to Twice
Suddenly time slows as I realize he wasn't going to Twice. He heads straight to.
"Hazel!!!" I scream and leave the spear and run to her
She turns and eyes widen as Shigiraki hands are inches away from her face
"Not again!" I hear, and suddenly Hazel was shoved out of the way, and Shigiraki touches
"Percy!!" Hazel shouts as Shigirakis hand places directly on Percy chest
Suddenly, Shigiraki is blasted with ice by Todoroki and stuck against a wall
I freeze as I see gray cracks form in the middle of Percys chest, and suddenly, I feel his life force slipping away
"How's it feel knowing you couldn't even save your precious friend." Shigiraki laughs, and I turn to him
"Nico.." I hear Reyna, but she fades into silence as I only hear my own heartbeat beating out of my ear drums
I feel the air drop and the ground shake and everything turns red
Katsuki
"Everyone, get back!!" Reyna screams as the air drops below freezing
Suddenly, the ground beneath us shakes uncontrollably
Nico stands there, but his eyes are completely black, his hands stretched out
"Hazel grab Percy." Aizawa says as I see he has Spinner knocked unconscious
I run to Nico only to get tackled by Reyna. Pinning me.
"Get the fuck off of me!" I shout and she grab my face and makes me look at Nico
He suddenly snaps and literally lunges at Shigiraki breaking through Todorokis ice
"Θα πεθάνεις και θα υποφέρεις στα χαρακώματα των Τάρταρων!" He says and Reyna froze
(You will die and suffer in the trenches of Tartarus!)
"He's going to kill him." She says and shove her off of me while she's distracted
I can't let him do this. If he fors this he is going to hate himself for this if he kills him.
*flashback*
"Zombie Boy, you've told me you've fought in wars. Have you... ever killed someone?" I ask as the thought crossed my mind
He froze from his doodling eyes widening and he hesitates
"I'm not gonna judge you for it." I assure him and he sighs
"Yes. I've killed people. In war you fight, sometimes you try to just injure people but if they don't back down they have no choice but to die. You can injure them to a point they can't move but that literally can kill them. A human soul can hold on to so much but sometimes they are strong enough. But...one person haunts me." He says and I stay quiet and he glances at me. As if to see if I'm gonna run away
"Go on." I say softly
"Bryce Lawrence, he was a Roman Camper. Reyna and I were getting an important symbol of peace back to my camp. It could end the war, Octavian was after us to stop us. He wanted Rome to be in control. During this point Reyna became like a sister to me. We got so close during this quest. I was getting...really weak fading into the shadows which can kill me and she has an ability from her mother which during emergency situations she give me strength. But in return, she takes my pain. She was the first person to truly understand what I was going through...anyways Bryce was working for Octavian. He found us and since Reyna was helping me a Greek. She would be trialed for treason. With Octavian leading he would find her guilty and killed. He grabbed her and when I saw that knife to her throat draw a drop of blood.....I lost it."
"I screamed, the ground opened underneath me into a huge hole. I grabbed Bryce by his shirt and held him over it. I started turning into a ghost. I sent him straight to the fields of punishment in Tartarus. Without a second thought. After that everything went black."
"Reyna explained, that after that I passed out but shadows surrounded me and entered them and her and Hedge saw every painful I have ever experienced. They knew everything, from my sister, to my time alone, to feeling outcasted, to the pain of seeing Percy and Annabeth together. To Cupid outing me to Jason..... I can't go through that again. Not to mention it almost killed me. I don't want to kill someone like that ever again. No matter what someone does they deserve to face judgement. To be able to say their peace. Not to automatically be thrown straight to Tartarus." He says tears brimming his eyes
I pulled him to me and held him close
"If I have any say, I will make sure you never will ever do that. I'll make sure of it."
*flashback over*
I tackle Nico to the ground and he is mindlessly fighting me
"Kurogiri!" I hear and I see the black and purple vortexts appear and and Shigiraki jumps through and they both disappear
Nico blasts me away with shadows and I get thrown back few feet
I get up quickly and Nicos body was turning looking for Shigiraki suddenly he focuses on Percy unconscious body and that shadows around him spin faster
The warehouse finally falls through the massive pit and the spear almost falls through but Shinso uses his scarf to grab it just in time
The hole shuts tight. Almost like it was never there and Nico collapses to the ground. The shadows shoot towards us and we all get hit.
Just like Nico said...his memories.
But they weren't painful...
They were filled with laughter...from his Mom, his sisters, friends...Percy mainly. His times at camp.
Then...me.
Our times together. Then his voice from the video he left us but only him saying 'I love you'
I gasp leaving the trance and all of us on the ground
I see Nicos body on the ground. He almost see through.
"Nico!" I shout and run to him sliding on the ground next to him. I go to pick him up but my hand goes through him
"I need, Unicorn drought and Gatorade!" Reyna yells and Momo goes through the bag on Hazel's back while Hazel was holding Percy pouring what I assume is nectar in his mouth
"Nico and Percy life force is there but they are weak." She warns
"I'll get the Gatorade!" Iida shouts and runs full blast. To the store
Aizawa was calling for ambulances and the police as he held the rest of the league in his capture rope his quirk on
"Quick lay him on his back" Reyna says and I help finally grabbing a grip on him
Momo kneels next to us handing the Unicorn drought to Reyna and she opens it and pours it in Nico mouth
"I wish Hedge was here I don't know his nature healing that he used on Nico last time." She says as Iida comes back with Gatorade and I suddenly remember something
"You have the ability to give him strength." I say as she pours the Gatorade in his mouth
"Yes but usually the person is awake." She says and I curse
"Have you tried it while they were asleep?" I ask and she shakes her head
"Then fucking do it. Nico says you do it in emergencies. This is a fucking emergency." I snap an she frowns looking at nico
I hear sirens and Aizawa tells Dabi to hide and he hesitates but Kyoka shoves him down the ally way
Reyna suddenly grabs his hand and and within a few seconds Nico solid form returns and he gets a little color back in his face
"It's working!" Hazel says relief flooding her face
I focus on his face my hand on his wrist filling his pulse as it speeds up
The sirens approaching quickly fills the silence and my heart pounds loudly
Suddenly his eyes fly open
