Chapter 88: The Unbreakable Red Riot

You had been doing rather well in this little competition so far considering the circumstances. You had even managed to save a handful of them.

However, today we will be focusing on somebody else. As you probably might've guessed by now, Eijiro Kirishima, who was doing better than expected.

Kirishima: Aw man...I'm so hungry...!! If I go any longer without food I think my stomach is gonna eat itself...!!

As he was complaining about, Kirishima had gone several days without any source of food. He had plenty of water from a fresh water lake, but no actual food.

With all of this time, Kirishima had only found one other classmate that was on his side, and that was Lotte.

The two had been nearly inseparable since Lotte didn't want to die. And with how nervous she gets sometimes she was always by Kirishima's side.

Lotte: H-How do you think everyone else is doing...?

Kirishima: Hopefully better than us. They've probably got food...I wish Yaomomo was here right now...

Lotte: Well, it's getting late. We should probably get settled in.

Kirishima: Yeah, you're right. I just wish we had something to eat...I can't focus on anything else...I could probably eat as much as Y/N right now...

Lotte: Y/N...I hope he's doing okay...

Kirishima: Hey don't worry, Lotte! Y/N's gonna be fine! He's literally the strongest guy I know! Also pretty stubborn when it comes to staying alive.

Lotte then remembered what Midoriya had told her when they first met.

Flashback

Midoriya: We've been through a lot together, some of us have even died and come back to life!

Flashback End

This had managed to put her at ease a little bit. She knew that you'd be fine. She was just paranoid. But your physical condition wasn't the only thing she was worried about.

She then remembered when she let you vent to her and even started crying. Which wasn't something you did often. The same couldn't be said for Midoriya though.

Considering the situation she decided to not bring it up. Simply curling up in a small blanket that she had made with one of her spells and went to sleep.

Kirishima slept without one because he was too manly for blankets.

Time Skip

It was nearly Midnight. Lotte was fast asleep but Kirishima had woken up 2 hours into the night, and hadn't been able to fall back to sleep ever since.

So instead he was simply twisting and turning, trying to get comfortable, but with his hunger that was at this point hurting him, along with not sleeping in the cold, made it so much harder on him.

He tried hardening to warm up but it did little to nothing. Then his stomach growled again as he couldn't take it anymore.

Kirishima: *Groans*...I'm gonna go look for something to hunt...maybe I can find a fish...or maybe even a bear...just...something...

He was a little hesitant at first since he didn't want to leave Lotte by herself but he knew that she'd be fine.

As he searched, he had decided to straight up dive into the nearest river and try to grab a fish. Of course he hardened himself to ensure that if something a little bigger and stronger were to show up, he would be prepared.

He tried everything he could but he couldn't find many fish, and one ones that he could find were too fast for him to catch.

Whoever he suddenly started to feel uneasy. More uneasy than he already was. As if something was watching him.

He stopped what he was doing and took a moment to look around, he didn't find anything or anyone, so he started to look for more fish again.

However just when he let his guard down somebody came jumping out of the water from behind him. The water wasn't that deep, it only went to Kirishima's waist. So that fact that this person was a wee bit taller than him confused him.

He then blocked a barrage of light punches, however the last one was a lot heavier and sent him flying regardless.

Landing back onto land he instantly got back up and gritted his teeth in both pain and frustration as the person who had attacked him sunk back into the water.

However Kirishima didn't let his guard down this time as he hardened his skin even more. Ready for an attack from any direction.

But what he wasn't expecting was for this adversary to come flying out of the tree beside him, he dodged just barely and rolled across the ground.

Kirishima: Alright, who are you! Show yourself!

???: You might not know me, but I know ALL about you, Eijiro...

Kirishima: How do you know my name...?! That's seriously creepy...!!

???: All it took was one step into your mind and I saw your memories. All of them. You might not look like it, but you're more afraid than almost anyone else here~

Kirishima: S-Shut up! We're on neutral ground! I won't hesitate to eliminate you!

???: Oh I know that much.

All of a sudden the figure made themselves visually known, stepping out of the shadows and revealing themselves.

It was a boy, wearing a black hoodie, his hair wasn't long but it wasn't short either. His skin was unnaturally pale, and his eyes were a light shade of red.

???: You claim to be Y/N's best friend...but what are you really? You're just his hype man...

Kirishima: That's not true!!

???: Listen to me, Kirishima. Out of this whole journey you've been by his side, watching as Y/N fights your battles for you. What have you truly ever done?

Kirishima: I-I...

???: Now you're getting it. You're nothing!

Kirishima: NO!

???: Hm?

Kirishima: Y/N's always been there for me! Just like I've always been there for him! I know what you're doing, and it won't work! Because I am UNBREAKABLE!

Eye-Catch

Eye-Catch

All of a sudden Kirishima's skin hardened hundreds of times over, at the same time the boy who had attacked him started growing more sets of arms.

Kirishima: RED RIOT: UNBREAKABLE!!

???: So you're really trying to fight back, huh? Fine! Show me what you can really do!!

At that very moment the boy rushed in at speeds faster than Kirishima could process. He had gained more speed, almost as if someone had given it to him.

At the same time the boy started bombarding Kirishima with barrage of light speed punches with a total of six arms. Kirishima was slowly becoming overwhelmed.

However he then tackled the boy and stopped him in his tracks as he did his best to hold him down, landing a few good hits that seemed to have little to no damage.

???: You can't seriously tell me that's all you've got!

Suddenly firing a massive beam from his mouth, the boy blew Kirishima away with immense power. Everything around them was getting destroyed as Kirishima managed to slide back on his feet.

Kirishima: Dammit! Where's all of this power coming from?!

???: Hahaha! Please! I was hoping to have more of a challenge against someone who's "Unbreakable"!

The boy then opened his mouth again and started charging up another mouth beam. Kirishima could only re-harden himself as he was forced to take another devastating attack.

Kirishima: GAAAH!!

???: This ends here!! GOODBYE!!!

Kirishima: No! This can't be the end! After everything I've done! After everything I've been through...!! After everything WE'VE been through!!

Kirishima started thinking about everything he had gone through during his journey, from his first entrance Exam for U.A to the battle against Ark.

Kirishima: No! NO!! I refuse to die here! What kind of a man would that make me?!

Kirishima slowly started to push his way through the beam attack. One step at a time as he got closer and closer to the mysterious boy.

???: You've got some fight left in you?! Good! I'VE STILL GOT PLENTY IN STORE FOR YOU!!

The boy's mouth beam attack then grew twice as big as it was before. Kirishima now finding himself being overwhelmed by this massive attack.

Kirishima: You can grow...All you want...I won't back down! I'll become a wall...THAT CAN PROTECT EVEN THE GODS WHEN IN NEED!!!

With that Kirishima suddenly started bulldozing his way through the beam of energy as the boy did his best to hold him back. Even with his immense power, Kirishima was able to push his way through thanks to his will, determination, and Manliness.

Eventually he had gotten close enough to the point where he was right in the boy's face, completely shattering his beam attack as he forcefully placed his hand over the boy's mouth.

Kirishima: ULTIMATE MOVE...

With one final stretch, Kirishima out everything he had into one last attack, clenching his fist into a ball of Manliness, Power, and Chivalry all into one big package that any hero would be jealous of.

Kirishima: RED GUN TURRET!!!

The boy then went wide eyed as Kirishima's fist went right through his chest. Ending the battle as the boy coughed up a ruthless amount blood.

Kirishima: This is my power! Don't ever talk down to me or my brother ever again!!!

???: Haha..."Brother"...Huh...? He's suddenly your brother now...? That's gotta be the funniest thing I've ever heard! I will be back, and next time, it'll be on MY terms! Haha! Hahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!

With that being said, the boy then slowly broke down into microscopic pieces and faded away as Kirishima gritted his teeth in pain.

Kirishima: *Pant*...*Pant*...*Pant*...Serves you right...

He then collapsed onto the ground. Slamming onto his back and looking directly at the sky as he was now in even worse conditions than before, now he was hungry, cold, and severely wounded from the battle.

It was then he realized that the boy had dropped his backpack before he faded into nothingness. And what was sticking out from the top made him want to cry tears of joy.

Kirishima: Wait a second...I-Is that...?!

Kirishima then scurried to the little bag and what was inside made him feel like he had just been born again

Kirishima: FOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!

Meanwhile

It seems that Kirishima isn't the only one who has a great battle ahead of him...
